[Commentary: On Despotism]
At first glance a statement may appear preposterous--yet upon examination the true meaning and intent can be revealed.
Such is the case of an interview last July in Uganda when Johnny Carson, the US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs said, "I don't believe President Museveni is a dictator. He is a president duly elected in a free and fair election."
Separately, in a recent interview, the outgoing head of delegation of the European Union (EU), Vincent De Visscher also heaped praise on President Museveni, calling him a "visionary" for his role in Burundi, the DRC, South Sudan, Northern Uganda, and now in Somalia. He also praised President Museveni for his war on corruption and for an unprecedented growth of the Ugandan economy.
These two interviews come in stark contrast with some very damning criticism of President Museveni, which Carson penned in the Boston Globe on May 1, 2005--when he was warning of the dangers of Museveni prolonging his regime. DeVisscher also refutes his own glowing conclusions within the same interview where he lavishes praises.
If one takes the two interviews without critically looking at who Carson and DeVisscher represent, one may be confused. For those who may be baffled, it is necessary to examine these "praises" of President Museveni in context.
The U.S.-backed dictator Museveni is undoubtedly a "visionary"--and so were other leaders like Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Mobutu Sese Seko, and Idi Amin. For those who know something about the history of these "visionaries," it becomes obvious that having a vision per se is not necessarily good for society. It is the nature of the vision and how it is implemented that is important.
In the case of Museveni, his "vision" is informed by some of his own words, written while he was a student at the University of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, when he said, "To transform a human being into an efficient, uncostly, and completely subservient slave, you have, as a pre-condition, to completely purge him of his humanity, manhood, and will. Otherwise, as long as he has some hope of a better, free future, he will never succumb to enslavement. To become an efficient instrument of oppression, you have to radically dehumanize yourself by forgoing many qualities that are normally found in balanced human beings. You purge yourself of compassion, altruism, consideration of other people's suffering and the capacity to restrain your greed."
President Museveni has faithfully followed this script in the pursuit of political power in a variety of ways. For example, as a process of dehumanizing himself, he embarked on a toxic anti-ethnic campaign against the people of the northern part of Uganda as a prelude to launching a genocidal war on that region of Uganda shortly after taking power by force of arms in 1986.
Museveni and his close associates described people from the northern part of Uganda in dehumanizing terms, including "biological substances" and likened them to grasshoppers trapped in a bottle to die with nowhere to escape.
Later on, Museveni embarked on a variety of military operations including scorched earth operations in the north. In eastern Uganda, innocent people were deliberately suffocated in train coaches in his regime's quest to subdue opposition.
This was followed by the forceful incarceration of about 2 million people in the forced displacement camps where the Uganda Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization estimated in a 2005 survey that as many as 1,000 people perished per week from preventable diseases (Health and Mortality Survey, 2005) translating to 52,000 deaths per year.
In 2004, Doctors without Borders --Médecins Sans Frontières, MSF-- found that the health situation amounted to an emergency and it was worse than that in Darfur.
Yet President Museveni defied Uganda's Parliament which had voted to declare the north a disaster area to facilitate humanitarian assistance. President Museveni also refused military assistance from Tanzania and Kenya to help protect the people incarcerated in the concentration camps.
Carson's own boss, President Barack Obama, has clearly criticized, "leaders who cling to power by deceit, corruption and suppression of dissent," Even by De Vasscher's own admission in the recent interview, President Museveni's regime is riddled with corruption with impunity. In fact, De Visscher asked for corrupt ministers to resign.
On the political front, De Vasscher justifies Museveni's overstay in power by claiming that Ugandans amended the constitution to remove term limit allowing Museveni to run for the presidency indefinitely. Such an argument directly contradicts what DeVasscher said in Kampala at the closure of a workshop on human rights and good governance last year when he said, "A lot of violence, intimidation and rigging have been reported in the previous elections and that is very unfortunate. Politicians ought to have debate of ideas without a stake in it," and "violence will breed violence".
Although the ambassador knows what happened, he should be reminded that the constitutional amendment was a sham, accomplished by bribing the legislators by what became known as kisanja in 2005, which happened in spite of Johnny Carson's warning in 2005.
The assessment of the true nature of the Museveni regime was clearly revealed last October by Wikileak in which Ambassador Jerry Lanier sent a cable to Washington that said "the President's autocratic tendencies, as well as Uganda's pervasive corruption, sharpening ethnic division, and explosive population growth have (been) eroding Uganda's status as an African success. Holding a credible and peaceful presidential election in February 2011 could restore Uganda's image, while failing in that task could lead to domestic political violence and regional instability."
Even in the run up to the 2011 election, it is clear that the incumbent is using many underhanded methods to hamstring his opponents to ensure his victory. The pervading perception is that Museveni will win by hook or crook. For example, it is alleged that he is abusing his office as Chair of the African Union and his close relationship with the ICC prosecutor, Louis Moreno Ocampo, to blackmail neighboring politicians to campaign for him, which he knows contravenes the law on national sovereignty.
It is not by ignorance that the US and EU praise Museveni. Rather, they do it in spite of what they know and simply look the other way. By supplying him with military intelligence and material that the regime uses for committing crimes against humanity as evidenced by the International Court Justice, UN DRC Mapping of Human Rights Violation Report and US diplomatic cable, and giving diplomatic cover, the US and the EU embolden President Museveni to continue clinging to power by deception, corruption and suppression of dissent.
This is, of course, nothing new. The US and the EU are known to look the other way to allow despotic leaders such as Sadam Hussein of Iraq when he was at war with Iran and Mobuto of what's now the DRC, to cling to power so long as they serve narrow Western interests.
De Vasscher also argued that the EU will not engage in changing governments in countries like Uganda where President Museveni has clung to power for over 24 years. However, such an argument rings hollow because both the US and EU are engaged in regime change in countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia.
By openly supporting a despotic president in Uganda, they are propping up a president who would not win in a free and fair election or without unbridled corruption. Clearly, the lesson to be learnt from Johnny Carson's and Vincent De Vasschers's hypocrisy is that they represent countries which will not hesitate to sacrifice the development of democracy in other countries to promote and protect their own interests.
What then can the oppressed people in the developing world do to change their own situations such as getting rid of despotic leaders who overstay their welcome? The people of Tunisia just answered this question by hounding their president out of power and a similar protest is unfolding in Egypt.
Time will tell whether or not this will be the new trend of regime change in Africa in the near future.

Can you at least give us an upgrade where I can use Gas to Heat all the passengers and all systems affected negatively by winter's cold. At least until you engineer figure out something better.
Better yet, a tiny generator slowly recharge my car while parking somewhere without recharging station.

Good morning!
I've been working on some paint schemes for the exterior of the COMET. I think that because I'll be towing it around so much in the next few months, going to Tiny House Summer Camp With Derek Diedricksen in July, and the KOA vintage trailer rally and sustainable weekend event in Brattleboro, VT, it's really important I have the outside looking nice and giving people some info about the project.
I love the little stripe details that reference a comet in the seafoam section. I'm also going to put a seafoam colored atomic-looking comet shape behind The COMET text, to tie it all together. I still need to figure out where to put the website and other info.
What do you think? Any suggestions? Let me know in the comments!

Winter's on the way, and some of the northerners and mountaineers among you have doubtless considered buying a truck with a plow attached to the front.
Sure, it could be a great way to scrape together a few extra bucks, but as the guy who helped me build the axles on my old '80 GMC 4x4 once said, big trucks cost big money.
So instead of having eight cylinders and huge wheels that you're going to thrash the crap out of anyway, why not go for two cylinders and tiny wheels like whoever built this mini Fiat 126 plow rig? We're guessing the rear window has been removed, because you'd have to be toddler-sized to Dukes of Hazard your way through those tiny vent windows in the front.
Have you owned, seen, or considered buying a smaller or weirder plow rig than this one? Show us in Kinja! (Hat tip to TheCroatianGuy!)

Marriage equality state by state
The following piece for our same-sex marriage symposium is by William Eskridge, the John A. Garver Professor of Jurisprudence at the Yale Law School. He is the author of The Case for Same-Sex Marriage (1996), and dozens of other books and articles arguing for the civil rights of sexual and gender minorities.
How ought the U.S. Supreme Court handle the appeal in Perry v. Schwarzenegger once the case is ripe for appeal? The Court ought to avoid any broad pronouncements on the merits of plaintiffs' claim that denying marriage equality to lesbian and gay couples violates the Fourteenth Amendment. If the Court reaches the merits, the Justices ought to affirm the district court decision based upon Romer v. Evans (1996).
In 1956, political scientist Robert Dahl warned that pluralistic democracy cannot easily handle issues that both intensely and evenly divide the polity. Indeed, such issues threaten the viability of our system, because they polarize contending groups and engender politics-exiting bitterness among group members who are defeated. Examples of such high-stakes issues in our history are slavery, immigration, prohibition, apartheid, and abortion.
Add same-sex marriage as an issue that now divides the country both intensely and evenly""and is therefore an issue that ought not be resolved one way or the other until public preferences become more settled. This is a reason why the Defense of Marriage Act (1996) and the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment (2003-04) were unwise, for they sought, prematurely, to declare victory for supporters of traditional marriage before public opinion had settled firmly in their favor. It is also a reason why the Supreme Court ought not declare a national constitutional right supporting same-sex marriage, for that would, prematurely, declare victory for supporters of marriage equality before public opinion has settled in their favor.
As I wrote fifteen years ago, in The Case for Same-Sex Marriage (1996), the legal case for such a constitutional right is an excellent one. But the legal case for a constitutional right for different-race couples to marry was an excellent one in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education (1954)""but it took the Supreme Court half a generation to recognize such a right, in Loving v. Virginia (1967). In 1954, three-fifths of the states barred such marriages; by 1967, only southern states did so. Only after the stakes were lowered was it politically prudent for the Court to announce a national resolution.
What does this mean for a future Supreme Court appeal in Perry? I'd make three suggestions. First, as Alexander Bickel argued, the "passive virtues" are often the best. The Supreme Court ought to avoid a final judgment on the constitutionality of marriage law's discrimination against lesbian and gay couples until the nation is substantially at rest on the issue. Admittedly, that moment is coming more rapidly than anyone predicted, but that moment has not yet arrived. The Court may deny review of any Ninth Circuit opinion in Perry, and it would be wise to exercise that discretion if the Ninth Circuit issues a narrow ruling. There are many state court decisions adjudicating the state constitutionality of the marriage exclusion; it is high time the federal courts debated the issue openly, and that federal court debate ought not be foreshortened by the Supreme Court.
Second, if the Supreme Court were to take Perry, it would be wise to limit the Court's grant of review to a procedural issue, such as the constitutional standing of Proposition 8 supporters to appeal Judge Walker's judgment, without the participation of the state and local officials who were the named defendants in the case. The Ninth Circuit has certified a couple of issues to the California Supreme Court that the federal judges believe may resolve the standing issue in favor of the Proposition 8 proponents. I have no firm views on the constitutional standing issue. On the one hand, the Supreme Court's access-restricting precedents provide strong doctrinal support for the plaintiffs' anti-standing arguments in this case, but Judge Reinhardt is wise to object that Proposition 8's many supporters ought not be foreclosed from defending their hard-won electoral victory because of a legal technicality.
Third, if the Supreme Court were to take the Perry appeal and reach the merits, the Court ought to issue a narrow opinion that would not purport to settle the constitutional issue one way or the other. In other words, the Court ought to avoid the Scylla of Roe v. Wade (1973), which recognized too broad a constitutional right, and the Charybdis of Bowers v. Hardwick (1986), which broadly rejected any privacy protections for "homosexual sodomy." Both Supreme Court decisions were unwise in their breadth and, for that reason, raised the stakes of politically intense issues to the detriment of our pluralism.
There is a narrow alternative to the broad fundamental right to marry sought by the plaintiffs in Perry, and to Judge Walker's more prudent view that the voters' revocation of marriage equality violated the rational basis test. A narrower ruling on the merits would rest upon Romer v. Evans (1996), where the Court invalidated Colorado's Amendment 2, an anti-gay state constitutional initiative, because it violated core equal protection precepts.
While there is legitimate debate about how broadly to read the Court's opinion, Romer applies (at the very least) to cases whose facts are close to the Romer facts: (1) novel, ad hoc legal barriers erected by voter initiatives denying fundamental public rights to lesbians and gay men (2) cannot stand if tainted by a bare desire to lower the status of this minority (whether for reasons of anti-gay animus or religious morality) (3) rather than a rational connection to a neutral public interest.
Proposition 8 fits the facts of Romer snugly. No state but California has recognized lesbian and gay couples' right to civil marriage as "fundamental," and then revoked that fundamental right through a popular initiative. The supporters of Proposition 8 openly defended their rights take-back as a pure status denigration. Thus, their ballot materials explained that the rights take-back was needed in order to (1) restore the discriminating feature of traditional marriage, (2) discipline "activist" judges who recognized fundamental rights for a disapproved minority, and (3) assure that schoolchildren would not be taught that gay marriage was entitled to the same civil respect accorded traditional marriage.
Finally, the briefs filed by the Proposition 8 proponents have been strikingly unable to tie the exclusion of same-sex couples to any neutral state interest. Their main argument, that discrimination against gays protects marriage against decline, is open scapegoating, namely, blaming a minority for problems created by the majority. Marriage has been in decline in many respects, but not because of lesbian and gay unions, which are more likely reinvigorate than kill that institution. (Massachusetts has seen marriage flourish since 2004, when that state recognized gay marriage.) Instead, the "decline" of marriage owes much to freedoms enjoyed by heterosexuals, like sexual cohabitation and no-fault divorce; yet none of the traditionalist "defenders" of marriage has lifted a finger to take away straight people's rights in order to strengthen marital bonds and protect children against broken homes.
Are there not differences between Romer's Amendment 2 and Perry's Proposition 8? Yes. But the big differences cut against the validity of Proposition 8. One difference is that Amendment 2 denied lesbians and gay men a range of legally enforceable rights and benefits, while Proposition 8 left lesbian and gay couples with the legal rights and duties associated with marriage but labeled "domestic partnerships." Thus, Amendment 2 denied gay people some legal rights, while Proposition 8 is completely symbolic. In one respect, the latter is a more serious equal protection concern: the proponents of Proposition 8 spent millions of dollars simply to deny lesbian and gay couples the symbolic equality associated with full (civil) marriage recognition. Certainly, no one would doubt the insult of allowing marriages only between same-race partners while affording different-race partners a parallel institution called "domestic partnerships." The deliberate insult is just as obvious here. Carving out a class of citizens from a core civil or political status is unprecedented in our constitutional system; it is highly suspect, and perhaps a per se constitutional violation, under Romer.
Another difference between Romer and Perry is that the record in the latter is replete with open appeals to sectarian morality, to anti-gay prejudice, and to the stereotype that "homosexuals" are predators "recruiting" "innocent children." The Romer Court inferred animus from the poor fit between the sweep of Amendment 2 and the "rational" purposes attributed to it; in this case, there is just as poor a fit""but the record in Perry is saturated with direct evidence of animus (anti-gay prejudice, stereotypes, and sectarian disapproval).
Like the Warren Court did in the different-race marriage cases, the Roberts Court should not be in a hurry to reach the constitutional merits of the same-sex marriage cases. If the Justices reach the merits, they should craft an opinion that decides the California appeal but goes no further. A Romer-based approach is the best the Court can do under those circumstances""and then watch as the state-by-state debate eventually runs out and a rough consensus emerges among younger Americans, who I believe will ultimately find same-sex marriage a constitutional no-brainer.

Yarn Sleeve / Yarn Cozy - Black Dots on Yellow
These yellow yarn sleeves with black dots are handmade and designed to keep your yarn from rolling around and becoming a tangled mess.
Either you love knitting or crochet, you probably prefer to use center pull skeins. Your yarn becomes all tangly, messy and rolls all over the place. This fabric yarn bowl will solve the problem.
Benefits of Yarn Sleeves
No more unraveled yarn, no more struggle with knots, no more jumbled mess of leftovers at the bottom of your project bag and most important of all: you do not have to waste any more time detangling you're neatly wound yarn.
How to use these Yarn Cozies?
Yarn cozies or yarn sleeves can be used for any center-pull yarn skein or cake. It is lightweight, portable, reusable and it will keep your yarn clean and neat. Cover your yarn with this stretchy cozy and throw it in your knitting project bag. Your yarn will stay neat and clean no matter how often you pull it out to knit. It's just like a yarn bowl but you can bring this one with you everywhere you knit!
Features of TIENenMIEP's Yarn Sleeves:> Prevents Tangles

Note: in the 2nd picture the left yarn sleeve is used on a 100-gram skein of worsted weight yarn and the left on a 50-gram skein of sports weight yarn.
How do I care for Yarn Cozies?
Spot clean if possible. However, yarn cozies can be machine washed delicate cycle in cold water and lay flat to dry. Iron on medium cotton setting.
What else do you need to know?
The placement of the fabric design can be different as my yarn sleeves are handmade. This makes every item slightly different.
Please note that the colors may differ on PC screens depending on their settings and inherent technical properties. I do my best to accurately photograph colors in true-to-life light.
As I try to make a difference and want to reduce waste, all orders will be sent in a biodegradable mailing bag.

Cables suck. That's why the advent of wireless charging is so great: it promises a world in which nothing ever has to be plugged in to anything else. And one company's work could allow Apple to cut even more cords from the iMac.
WiTricity, which is developing magnetic resonance charging tech based on MIT research, is now showing off an iMac modified to charge up a wireless keyboard and mouse as well as a tablet, all by just placing them near the computer. With the charging apparatus built into the bottom of the iMac, these devices automatically get their power from it, no cords required.
It's pretty awesome, really, and something that I expect we'll see sooner or later. Hopefully sooner. Check out the video below at about the 4:00 mark to see the iMac in action.

A determined 19-year-old pilot put wheels down in San Diego Monday night and landed in the record books as he completed a 29,000-mile solo flight around the world – becoming the youngest person to achieve that feat.
"I guess it's good to be back," said Matt Guthmiller, a man of few words, as welcomers called for a speech.
Just over one month ago, Guthmiller took off from Gillespie Field in El Cajon, California, on his way to circumnavigate the globe.
Flying in a 1981 Beechcraft A36 Bonanza he leased, Guthmiller's journey led him through Rome, Cairo, Abu Dhabi and other exotic locales with nothing but his thoughts to keep him company.
Now, with 14 different countries and five continents beneath his seat belt, the MIT student has fulfilled a passion he's harbored his childhood.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Each part of the trip lasted an average of eight hours, but he wrapped up his longest leg Monday as he traveled 14.4 hours from Honolulu, Hawaii, and El Cajon. He reached Gillespie Field around 8:45 p.m.
One useful tool his family is sure to be thankful for: a flight tracker, where anyone can watch his progress online.
With this goal complete, Guthmiller should break the Guinness World Record for the youngest person to circumnavigate the world by aircraft solo. The person who formally held that record was 21-year-old Jack Wiegand, who finished his 24,000-mile trip in Fresno, Calif. last year.
But his trip had a dual purpose. Guthmiller also set out to raise money for Code.org, a nonprofit that introduces computer science in more schools, by offering ad space on his plane, clothes and website.
However his journey does not stop in San Diego. According to his website, the young pilot will be doing a bit more touring around Las Vegas and Seattle before heading back to his hometown of Abberdeen, South Dakota.

Just like real snowflakes each one of these ornaments is unique. One side is pink on white the other white on pink. You can create your own blizzard in a snap! –Molly
These materials will make at least 12 snowflakes, and can make up to 16 with very careful cutting.
- One piece of Wool Felt in Bright Pink
- One Piece of Wool Felt in Ecru
- Water soluable marking pen
- Ruler
- Two spools of 100% cotton thread. One in color 1040 (ercu) and another spool in color 5980 (bright pink)
- Template plastic
- Download and print the Two Sided Snowflake template here
Cutting and Marking
Download the Two Sided Snowflake template above. Trace the circle and triangle onto your sheet of template plastic and cut them out to create very sturdy reusable templates.
Trace the circle template on both the pink and white felt and cut the shapes out.
For the hanging loop, cut a strip that is 1/4-inch wide by 7-inches long for each snowflake from whichever color of felt you prefer (I used pink on this one).
On the white felt circle use your ruler and water soluble pen to mark the diameter of the circle (the circle is 4-inches wide).
Make a mark at the center of the diameter, 2-inches from either side.
Place the point of your triangle template on the center mark and line up the triangle's bottom edge with the circle's diameter. Trace the top edge of the triangle as shown above.
The triangle template is an equilateral triangle, meaning that all three of it's angles are 60-degrees so it doesn't matter which point you use.
Mark the rest of the circle in the same manner and you will have six equidistant lines as shown above.
Now for the fun part, marking the design! You can mark any symmetrical design you like on your snowflakes. The easiest way to make sure the design stays symmetrical is to make sure all your marks are equidistant from the center. In the picture above I marked 1-inch from the center on each of the six "arms" of the snowflake.
Then I connected each of the marks to make a symmetrical hexagon in the center. You can keep building your design in this matter until you're happy with it.
Once you have your snowflake design marked place the pink circle on the back of the marked white one. Fold your felt strip in half and sandwich it in-between the two layers directly below one of the arms marked on the white circle. You don't need to pin the circles together because the felt will stick to itself.
Before you begin sewing wind a bobbin for your sewing machine using the ecru thread. You will be using this in the bobbin and the bright pink thread on top. This way all the stitches on the topside of your work (the ecru felt) will be pink and the bottom side (the pink felt) will be ecru.
Sew along all the "arm" marks, backstitching at the beginning and end of each line. Make sure that you sew your hanging loop into the end of one of the arms.
You don't need to bother with snipping off all of the thread ends, there will be a lot more in a second so you might as well clip them all in one pass.
Sew over each mark, backstitching at the beginning and end of each line. As you can see from the picture above I didn't cut the thread between each stitching line, instead I picked up the foot and moved the snowflake to the next position. In the case of the center hexagon you can sew it as one shape without stopping, by picking up the foot (but leaving the needle down) at each turn.
When you have completed all of the stitching, trim off all of the thread ends, cutting them very close to the fabric.
Do the same on the back side.
To finish, cut to within an 1/8th of an inch around all of the stitching.
Repeat the process for the remaining snowflakes and enjoy your pretty pink and white blizzard!

Mother's Milk
Toxic Fire Retardants (PBDEs) in Human Breast Milk
Study Finds Record High Levels of Toxic Fire Retardants in Breast Milk from American Mothers
In the first nationwide tests for chemical fire retardants in the breast milk of American women, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found unexpectedly high levels of these little-known neurotoxic chemicals in every participant tested.
The average level of bromine-based fire retardants in the milk of 20 first-time mothers was 75 times the average found in recent European studies. Milk from two study participants contained the highest levels of fire retardants ever reported in the United States, and milk from several of the mothers in EWG's study had among the highest levels of these chemicals yet detected worldwide.
These results confirm recently published findings from University of Texas researchers, as well as other U.S. studies, that American babies are exposed to far higher amounts of fire retardants than babies in Europe, where some of these chemicals have already been banned. In the United States, only California and Maine have acted to restrict the use of these chemicals.
Breast milk is best
Even women with very high levels of fire retardants in their breast milk should continue to breastfeed their babies. There are two main reasons why. First, adverse effects on learning and behavior are strongly associated with fetal exposure to persistent pollutants, not with breast milk exposure. And second, breastfeeding appears to overcome some of the harmful effects of high fetal exposure to persistent chemicals. Breast milk data are very useful, however, because they are an excellent measure of fetal blood levels, and fetal exposure to fire retardants.
Like PCBs, their long-banned chemical relatives, brominated fire retardants are persistent in the environment and bioaccumulative, building up in people's bodies over a lifetime. Brominated fire retardants impair attention, learning, memory, and behavior in laboratory animals at surprisingly low levels. The most sensitive time for toxic effects is during periods of rapid brain development. Fire retardants in breast milk are one measure of the chemicals that a mother passes on not only to her nursing infant, but more importantly, to the unborn fetus, which is most vulnerable to impacts from neurotoxic chemicals.
Brominated fire retardants are in hundreds of everyday products, including furniture, computers, TV sets and automobiles. Studies worldwide have found them to be building up rapidly in people, animals and the environment, where they persist for decades. Research on animals shows that fetal exposure to minute doses of brominated fire retardants at critical points in development can cause deficits in sensory and motor skills, learning, memory and hearing. Levels of particularly toxic and bioaccumulative types of brominated fire retardants, known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), are by far highest in the United States and Canada compared to levels in any other country. Together, the US and Canada account for almost half of global PBDE use.
Chemical fire retardants are not necessary for fire safety: Some manufacturers, from furniture makers to computer companies, have achieved the same level of safety by redesigning their products to be inherently less flammable without chemical treatments. The European Union has banned the most toxic forms of PBDEs beginning next year, and some Asian countries are close behind. But the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set no safety standards or other regulations for their manufacture, use or disposal. Only one state, California, has banned some chemical fire retardants, with the phase-out to be complete by 2008. By then, if fire retardants continue to be used at the present level, another 365 million pounds of these toxicants will be in Americans' homes, schools, offices, and bodies.
[Download larger version of map in PDF format]
Most brominated fire retardants used in North America are made by two companies, Great Lakes Chemical Corp. of West Lafayette, IN, and Albemarle Corp. of Richmond, VA. While preparing to comply with the EU ban, these companies are spending millions of dollars in Congress and state legislatures lobbying against domestic protections — even working against consumers' right to know what they're buying so they can choose PBDE-free products. Through their dominance of the world market in brominated chemicals, the two corporations are hindering the efforts of other companies to provide customers with safer alternatives.
These results confirm the need for prompt action to reduce American children's exposures to toxic fire retardants.
- The EPA should phase out all of these toxic fire retardants as quickly as possible. In the interim, all products containing PBDEs should be labeled so that consumers have the option of choosing products without them.
- EPA must screen new and existing chemicals for their health effects. In particular, potential replacement fire retardants must be adequately tested to ensure that they are not persistent, bioaccumulative or toxic. Testing must include the outcomes most relevant to children's health. Changes in product design that decrease the need for chemical fire retardants should be encouraged over simply switching to different, less studied chemicals.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should expand its fledgling national biomonitoring program to include a greater number of chemicals and people. The study provides critical data in identifying chemicals that are accumulating in our bodies and in the environment; tracking trends in exposure; providing data needed to more fully understand human health risks; and helping EPA and other agencies effectively transition businesses to safer, less persistent chemicals than those in current common use.
- Congress should increase funding for urgently needed research on toxic fire retardants, including their health effects, how they get into the human body, and current levels of accumulation in people, animals and the environment.

When Europol announced it had found evidence of 680 matches that might have been fixed by gamblers, investigators teased us with the good stuff. Champions League ties were among the questionable matches, including at least one in England. It took about a day for it to come out, and while the English team is wholly innocent of suspicion, it still doesn't make them look good.
In September 2009, Hungarian club Debrecen traveled to Anfield for a Champions League group stage match against Liverpool, won by the home side 1-0. Debrecen confirmed today that goalkeeper Vukasin Poleksic was approached by match-fixers, for which he was later suspended for two years by UEFA. A Danish newspaper adds that the over/under was 2.5 goals, and Poleksic was instructed to make sure it hit the over.
Against a goalie presumably being paid good money to let the Reds score, Liverpool only managed a single goal, a putback from Dirk Kuyt. (That's Poleksic in the above photo, not looking particularly unhappy over Kuyt's goal.) The highlights show Liverpool missing the net on a couple of good chances, so bad luck for Poleksic, I guess. He would allow 13 goals in his next three group stage matches, so he was allowed to keep his thumbs.

Former Island Scrapbook Partner buys new business
July 28, 2011
By Steven FrankObserver staff
On the outside, a look around the Simon's Plaza on U.S. 2 in Williston doesn't signify any changes. The sign in front of the business between Allen HotSpring Spas and the Shell gas station still reads "Island Scrapbook Crafts & Supplies."
Inside that 800-square foot retail space, however, changes are already underway.
On July 1, former Island Scrapbook co-owner Lorna Swann bought out her partner, Laura Sharples, and renamed the store "All Scrapped Up." The shop's general theme remains but Swann, 52, expects to breathe new life into a business that started in Grand Isle and came to Williston approximately three years ago.
"Island just didn't fit with the name anymore. Now it's just prime opportunity to get away from it, start with something new and fresh," Swann said.
She added: "We have everything you need to make the scrapbook that you want."
Those items include approximately 19,000 pieces of design paper — with themes from weddings to those for children — materials for stamp art and several types of adhesives.
All Scrapped Up also offers birthday party packages, classes on various scrapbooking techniques like photo cropping, and even getaways. There is a weekend retreat taking place in August and another one in November.
"The people are unbelievable," Swann said of the groups that attend the shop's classes and retreats. "There is definitely a passion."
Swann, a Northfield resident, has two adult children and works two part-time jobs. She runs the store on Sundays and holds one of the classes.
"It's fun, it's relaxing," Swann said of scrapbooking, which she began doing 14 years ago. "You can do whatever you want; there is no such thing as a mistake in scrapbooking. If you have something that is not just right it is an embellishment opportunity. Just cover it with something else or do something different."
Linda Merchant also instructs a class and runs the store four days a week (it's closed on Mondays). A scrapbooking enthusiast, Merchant introduced herself to Swann when the store came to Williston.
"I love interacting with people, helping them develop ideas and helping them expand on ideas," Merchant said. "I really like the customer service end of things."
Swann reported that a new sign for the store's front is in the works and "just needs approval from the state." She is also preparing to launch a new website. Swann said the site will include calendar listings of all the store's events and consumers will be able to use it to purchase some of its products. Folks will also be able to learn about the different retreats and pay for them online via PayPal.
"I expect that by Sept. 1 we will have everything under control … It's going to be really good," Swann said.
For Swann, competition from larger chain stores like A.C. Moore, which opened in Williston earlier this year, and Michael's isn't much of a concern.
"To be honest, they aren't competition. We are a specialty store," Swann said. "People who truly scrapbook or card make or are true paper crafters know the difference in the quality. Most of (A.C. Moore or Michael's) stuff is older."
Swann also isn't discouraged by the store's location, which was originally at Taft Corners when it first came to Williston. It relocated to the Simon's Plaza in April.
"We were tucked in the corner (at Taft Corners) and there were two trees blocking the storefront," Swann said. "The people coming in and out of here are great. My only concern was parking but there is more than it appears … This is definitely going to work," Swann said.
All Scrapped Up is open Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information call 288-9616 or visit email@example.com.

DMB's Moore seriously injured
7:27pm update: The official DMB website says Moore's condition has been upgraded to fair and that you can send an e-card to wish him well.
CHARLOTTESVILLE–- Dave Matthews Band saxophonist LeRoi Moore remains in serious condition at UVA hospital following an all-terrain vehicle accident on his farm outside Charlottesville yesterday, according to a statement on the band's website. He was spending some time at home following the band's Saturday show at Nissan Pavilion near Manassas.
"We cannot release any additional information," says hospital spokeswoman Megan Rowe, "but what's on the website is accurate and up-to-date."
Rowe says "serious" condition is defined as, "vital signs may be unstable, and not within normal limits. Patient is acutely ill."
Calls to the band's management were not returned at the time of this post.
Reached for comment, frequent DMB collaborator and jazz trumpeter John D'earth says he had not yet heard of the accident and said he was too shaken to comment.
Moore is a founding member of Dave Matthews Band, having been recruited from a jazz combo that frequently played downtown bar Miller's, where Matthews was tending bar. Moore was on hand at the band's first show, a 1991 private party at Charlottesville's "pink warehouse" building on South Street. Since then, Moore's saxophone, along with Boyd Tinsley's fiddle, and Matthews' distinctive vocal delivery, have come to define the DMB sound.
Last year, Moore got to step out of his bandmates' shadow in a commercial for Honda trucks, in which he jammed on the deck of a tempest-tossed fishing boat, meant to exemplify Honda's slogan "Rough meets smooth."
The band says they will continue on their tour in Moore's absence. Jeff Coffin, saxophonist with frequent DMB openers Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, will fill in for Moore, beginning with tonight's show in Charlotte.

get better leroi!!!!!!
I was at the show in VA over the weekend and the band was great!
my prayers are with him and his family, at this time. get well soon, dear friend.
man, that sucks. my thoughts and prayers are with Leroi.
it seems like the band could at least cancel/postpone a couple of shows until the worst has blown over???
Wishing you a speedy recovery from everyone at Paladin. Keep those LeRoi sounds coming!
i concur with you evan.... why hasnt tonight's show been canceled or postpone?
The band is still very close to Leroi with them being in NC tonight. Trust me Roi is in their thoughts and prayers. It seems he is still in serious condition.
I am about 5 min frm UVA and I wish lerioe the best of luck I went to the show as well.
My thoughts and Prayers are with Leroi and his family.
Get well soon!
My thoughts at first were similar to some of you on here - why weren't shows canceled, or even the entire tour? That seems to be a logical move in this type of situation. However, it makes me optimistic, as even though he's listed in serious condition by the hospital, perhaps the fact that the band has not postponed/canceled any shows means that they know more than we do, and that Leroi is doing OK. I don't know, but I'm hoping this is the case. Should be interesting to hear how tonight's show goes and whether any mention of it is made.
Condition upgraded to fair according to DMBand.com.
that's great news!!!
LeRoi, no more ATV's! We love you too much.
LeRoi, wishing you a speedy recovery!!
I was just at the show in Atlanta, where they did a video postcard for Leroi during the middle of the show. It was a great guesture and i don't think that the love that the band has for him should be questioned, i'm sure a more drastic move would be made if he wasn't expected to return at some point.
Hello LeRoi, I am thrilled to hear that you are doing better. Wishing you a rapid recovery with much love!

An immigrant unable to practice law because of his undocumented status has been granted a law license by California's highest court Thursday, NBC News reports.
Sergio Garcia took his case to the California Supreme Court in May. Oral arguments took place in September.
New Laws Coming to California in 2014
Garcia, a law school graduate who passed the state bar, told NBC News that he is "speechless, tired, relieved," and is "glad it's over."
The U.S. Department of Justice opposed allowing him a license because as an undocumented person he wasn't allowed to receive any benefits, Garcia said in a statement. Garcia said the Court agreed with the assessment, but also stated that a law could be passed to allow him and others in his situation to be granted a law license.
Study Finds Texting, Dialing Dangerous While Driving, Talking Less So
A law passed seven days later allowing courts to grant a law license to an undocumented person who had met all the standard requirements. Gov. Jerry Brown signed the the bill on Oct. 5, 2013.
The law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2014.
The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles issued a statement after the ruling, saying the court's decision "bodes well for the future of the United States of America."
"The Dreams of many became much closer to becoming a reality today that the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of young professionals, like Sergio Garcia, who have met every requirement in the book to practice their craft but happen to be undocumented immigrants," the statement said.

Province is awesome, I used to play it before, and trust me, tactics that used to work needed to be tweaked a little but I am making out like a boss in province. I think I have only lost on that map once.
South spawn definitely seems to have an advantage from my perspective. and allows people to get into early sniper nests and provide dense cover for eastern cliffs. The problem is you need someone to get into low field behind hard cover from the flanks, but allowing vision down the fields and under the cliffs. This tactic can allow your team to quickly overwhelm one flank and push through or provide enough of a distraction for one side that the other can advance without getting shot.
This map is all about getting to the other side without being shot in the butt, while your TD's and "Heavy Snipers/Derps" lob shells and demolish the enemy from outside max spotting range. I'd put in pictures but my photoshop skills suck, anyone know a good place to do minimap drawings?
I've enjoyed the map so far.

Other than being really beautiful, I can't see the worth of this map at tiers higher than 3. Its just too small and too campy.
I am always thinking why they built this little seaside town with a monastery and everything below a huge dam. Or why they build this huge dam just above a little seaside town with a monastery and everything. It just doesn't make any sense.
It's like the Glacier map. In one end big battleships and carriers are frozen solid and in the other end the nature is lush of conifer trees and, and here it comes, a hot erupting geysir. WHAT ARE THE ODDS? How did those ships get frozen solid in this environment?
This map is awful. Each side has to rush for the opposite side to climb the road, spot the entire enemy team and allow the TDs to shoot from spawn. Not a single redeeming factor over the older version, its still a crapmap. It promotes camping TDs and invisible russian overcraft tanks with billion view range.
Great scenery... but, campfest tankplay... I did like the old version. But, this new version I am not sure I like to much. Same problems as the old, but somewhat magnified. Still needs to be restricted to low tiers, and maybe a handful of mid tiers (but, not higher to top tiers) .
But, this does have me looking forward to the re-made Mittengard for all tiers !!
stop camping and you will have fun

I wish I knew more about Lilie.
She was my grandfather's sister.
Back in 2007, I knew nothing about my Lagacé lineage. I knew of course about André Mignier, but I could not link up with him.

Five years later I am quite skillful at finding other people's ancestors since I have been able to find almost all about my grandfather's parents and his siblings.
Quite a challenge because he was never married to my grandmother since he was already married.
Lilie, or Lillie or Lillian, is the also the sister of Anthony Lagasse and Stanislas Lagassey who are both buried in St. Joseph cemetery. I don't know where Lilie is buried though. What I know is that she was married to Eugene Dube.
Last week I knew not that much about her and her husband. Judy was a great help without ever realizing it when she posted this comment.
Not sure if I can help.
Jules Moquin was my great-grandfather.
He was born in Canada, married Marie Dube.
I believe there are Lagaces somewhere in the family line, but I'm not sure where.
Can you, or anyone else offer any insights on Jules and Marie?
Jules Moquin, her ancestor, was marrried to Marie Dubé.
While looking for Marie Dube I found she was the sister of Eugène, Napoléon and Pierre.
Remember Birds of a feather stick together.
Well, I was stuck (pun intended) with Eugène's and Napoléon's parents. The only clue I had was the given name of their father: George.
Not much to go on hey…

Wellington Mara called it the single most memorable play in his lifetime with the Giants:
Nearly a half-century later, he still could see Pat Summerall lining up in the snow at Yankee Stadium on Dec. 14, 1958, and making an improbable 49-yard field goal to beat the Browns, 13-10, forcing a first-place tie and a playoff between the teams the next week. The Giants won that one, too.
So yes, young fans, Summerall was a player, spending 10 years in the NFL from 1952-61, and without him there would have been no "Greatest Game Ever Played'' between the Giants and Colts for the 1958 title.
But Summerall, who died Tuesday at 82, forever will enjoy a legacy even among fans with no memory of him on the field, thanks to a long, iconic career as one of the voices of the game during its meteoric rise in popularity after the '58 finale that his kick helped make possible.
As his longtime partner, John Madden, put it Tuesday, "Pat Summerall is the voice of football and always will be.''
Starting in 1962, he went from a Giants color analyst to play by play on national broadcasts for CBS and Fox, paired with Tom Brookshier starting in 1974 and Madden in '81, a partnership that lasted 21 years. He also worked the Masters and the U.S. tennis Open. Along the way, he became a fixture in American living rooms and bars, known as a minimalist and voice of calm in a TV world full of yellers.
Without Summerall as his straight man, it is hard to imagine Madden evolving into America's avuncular analyst. "Pat was my broadcasting partner for a long time, but more than that he was my friend for all of these years,'' he said in a statement. "We never had one argument, and that was because of Pat.''
During a joint appearance on Sirius XM Satellite Radio in 2012, Madden explained Summerall's role in their partnership: "I tend to be a rambler, and Pat could punctuate anything I said. That gave me a real confidence I could go anywhere, any way. Sometimes a play would start and I wouldn't be finished and he could, in two or three words, sum up what I'd been saying in five minutes.''
Summerall suffered from health problems during and after his years as a full-time broadcaster, some related to alcoholism. He gave up alcohol in 1992 after a stay at the Betty Ford Center, but his damaged liver required a transplant in 2004.
Through it all, he was hugely popular among his colleagues, in football and broadcasting. Summerall retired from Fox after 2002 but later did NFL games for Fox and ESPN. He called the Cotton Bowl for Fox from 2007-10. He died of cardiac arrest in a Dallas hospital, where he was recovering from a broken hip.
"We're running out of Giants,'' said Frank Gifford, an old teammate and fellow broadcaster.
Wellington Mara died in 2005, but his son John, now the Giants' president, confirmed the special place Summerall has in Giants -- and broadcasting -- lore.
"Pat will always be a great Giant,'' Mara said in a statement. "He was one of my father's favorites, and his kick in the snow against the Browns in 1958 is one of the most memorable plays in our franchise's history. Pat was a true gentleman and the voice of the NFL for generations of fans.''

Nearly 900 million people, of whom 45% are under 15 years of age, live in Africa, a continent that is bigger than the USA, India, Europe, China, Argentina and New Zealand combined.
In a few spots on the continent, the history of the Church of the Nazarene, which is now present in 162 world areas, is as long as that of the denomination itself. From its small beginnings in West and Southern Africa, the work of the denomination on the continent has grown and expanded to 34 of the 54 independent African countries. The South became the hub from where, in the eighties, the church rapidly stretched out to Central, Eastern, and Western Africa. More than 611,000 Nazarenes in over 8,600 churches and preaching points, organized in 115 districts and 15 pioneer areas, constitute the Africa Region..
Globalization is facilitating the rapid population growth of Africa. In partnership with the other members of the Nazarene family worldwide, African Nazarenes face the challenges of the growing population, certain that Jesus is the hope of Africa. Under His command to "Make disciples of all Nations," the Church of the Nazarene ministers to children, youth and adults. The mandate is carried out through the proclamation of the Biblical truth about God and man, and with the resolve to equip and empower every African Nazarene for service, first to their own people group, and then for cross-cultural ministry.

Hugh Douglas out at ESPN after 'disagreement' with co-host
- Former All-Pro DE had an incident with co-host Michael Smith
- ESPN took Douglas off the air following the altercation
- Douglas worked at ESPN for two years before parting with the network
Hugh Douglas, the former Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro defensive end, has parted ways with ESPN, one week after allegations of a verbal altercation with his Numbers Never Lie co-host Michael Smith were made public.
ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys confirmed that Douglas no longer works for the network.
Early last week, the network confirmed that Douglas and Smith had a "disagreement" the previous Friday.
The Big Lead reported the colleagues were at a National Association of Black Journalists conference in Orlando and had a "heated verbal altercation" that included Douglas making threats and using slurs to talk about Smith.
Douglas didn't make any appearances on ESPN following the disagreement.
"I am very disappointed to be leaving ESPN and will have more to say about this situation and my future at the appropriate time," Douglas wrote in a tweet on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old joined ESPN in 2011, seven years after finishing his NFL career. He made two all-pro teams in his five seasons with the Eagles.

The TMNT franchise has been alive and (mostly) kicking for more than 25 years...and whether your first exposure was through the comic books, the 1987 animated series, the feature-length films or otherwise, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's iconic green ninjas have enjoyed a plethora of pop culture portrayals. Like many kids of the 1980s, I found it impossible to resist the franchise's charms but wouldn't consider myself a lifelong fan: I pretty much quit cold turkey when the awful third live-action movie hit theaters. Since then, my only exposure to the franchise has been revisiting bits and pieces on DVD, as well as the stylish but underwhelming 2007 CGI film. So, having never seen an episode of the 2003 animated series, I approached Nickelodeon's new 2012 CGI TV show blindly and with an appropriate level of caution.
To my surprise, this new series delivers the goods in almost every department. I was prepared to hate it; after all, CGI revivals of beloved cartoon icons usually don't end well. Like most people my age, I could blindly profess a nostalgic, rose-colored affection for the 1987 series and tell those 2012 kids to get off my lawn. But Rise of the Turtles only collects the first six episodes of this 26 episode first season, and it's already won me completely over. It's as good as---if not better than---earlier seasons of the 1987 series on all fundamental fronts, so even the most passive amount of momentum should keep this series going strong for several years. New and familiar faces, including shout-outs for seasoned fans? Check. Plenty of action? Check. Juvenile humor? Present. Hell, most of the stories are even pretty damn good... and if nothing else, at least there aren't plot holes big enough to drive the Technodrome through.
Like the well-received Transformers Prime, TMNT 2012 gives the franchise a fresh facelift, incorporating new elements into an existing universe without leaving die-hard fans out in the cold. We're introduced to younger Turtles this time around: in the double-length pilot "Rise of the Turtles" (one of six episodes on this single-disc teaser for Season One), the fearsome foursome has just celebrated their 15th "birthday"; they're already seasoned martial artists but have yet to prove their worth as a crime-fighting contingent. Splinter is once again their father figure, yet his imposing figure emphasizes their youthful inexperience. April O'Neil is now the teenage daughter of a scientist, "The Kraang" are a deadly race of brain-controlled aliens and Shredder still lurks in the shadows. It definitely has an "alternate reality" vibe, borrowing bits and pieces from earlier TMNT incarnations while throwing in several new twists for good measure.
Though most of these episodes feel more like "monster-of-the-week" outings than chapters in a larger story, TMNT 2012 sets plenty of groundwork while serving up a renewed sense of character dynamics, visual flair and obvious respect for the source material. Of course, Rise of the Turtles's glaring drawback is that it represents just one fifth of Season One's proposed 25 episodes, and stopgap releases like this are nothing more than quick cash grabs. It's undoubtedly full of good material, but Rise of the Turtles will be obsolete if a full set is released later this year (and if not...well, that would be pretty bad business).
Video & Audio Quality
Presented in an anamorphic 1.78:1 aspect ratio---despite the packaging's "Full Screen" claim---my only nagging complaint about TMNT: Rise of the Turtles is that it's not available on Blu-Ray (perhaps in time for the full Season One collection?). Other than that, this stylish production looks excellent from start to finish, boasting a moody color palette, strong black levels and only a few hints of banding and aliasing. Image and texture details are also quite strong for a standard definition release, as little touches like scuffs and dents on the Turtles' shells and the metallic sheen of Shredder's helmet are nicely rendered. From top to bottom, fans should be happy...but again, pretty please for Season One on Blu-Ray!
The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is also terrific, though it's odd that an optional 2.0 downmix wasn't included. Either way, TMNT regularly features plenty of subtle (and not-so-subtle) atmospheric touches, from the echoing dampness of sewer life to the steely clang of weapons striking one another. Dialogue is typically anchored up front and crisply recorded, while the sporadic music cues are dynamic but not overpowering. Unfortunately, no optional subtitles or Closed Captions have been included with this release.
As a childhood fan of the original 1987 TMNT animated series, I can still enjoy that version for its goofy time-capsule charm...and like many other nostalgic fans, I've been increasingly skeptical with each new reincarnation of the franchise. But this new CGI series has gotten off to a fantastic start, formulating its own identity with a great blend of action, old and familiar faces and plenty of juvenile humor. There are small parts that don't work quite as well, but it's been a while since any classic revamp has won me over so quickly. Paramount's DVD (again, no Blu-Ray?) looks and sounds great, but the lack of meaty bonus features---and, of course, the possibility of a full-season release later this year---will rightfully prompt most buyers to hold off until then. Otherwise, new fans should Rent It to whet their appetites.

Those lingering rumors about the possibility that Howard Stern could replace Simon Cowell as "American Idol's" resident grump can finally be put to rest. Although the veteran shock jock still counts himself as an "Idol" super-fan, he just can't see himself sitting in Cowell's seat.
"I like Simon," Stern told E! Online. "I think he's great, but I tend to (do) more than just break people's hearts about their dreams in singing. I don't think that's my kind of job."
So whose kind of job is it? Stern wasn't prepared to jump into the ongoing guessing game.
U.S. & World
Mistress shoots down James' claim
Jesse James' televised mea culpa didn't earn him any sympathy from one of his alleged other women. In fact, shortly after Sandra Bullock's soon-to-be ex-husband told the world he believed he intentionally sabotaged himself where extra-marital affairs were concerned, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee denied James' version of events.
"When I was doing it, you know, one, I knew it was horrible; it made me feel horrible," James said in his recent Nightline tell-all. "And two, I knew I would get caught eventually, and I think I wanted to get caught. I know for a fact now what it was, you know. I mean, it was me trying to self-sabotage my life."
Not so, according to McGee.
"He took every precaution NOT to get caught," the tattoo model insisted in an interview with In Touch Weekly. "I was only allowed to come up during after-hours at the shop. We could never go get food — even at his own restaurant."
Bachelor Jake isn't quite ready to settle down
"The Bachelor's" Jake Pavelka and his made-for-TV intended, Vienna Girardi, still haven't made firm plans to settle down together.
"Well, as far as a wedding date, you'll be the first to know," Pavelka dodged when asked directly about his supposedly upcoming nuptials by Radar Online, although he did note, "(Vienna) picked her shoes out."
Not that footwear isn't a perfectly good indicator of ... something, but Pavelka's non-committal responses to commitment-related questions certainly seemed to say a lot more. When pushed for any when or where details about the wedding, the pilot instead turned to more practical relationship talk.
"We're just dating, having a good time, you know, getting to know each other," Pavelka said. "We've been together for seven months now, and we've been engaged for seven months now, and each day just gets sweeter and sweeter."
Dish on the fly
When Jake Gyllenhaal landed the lead role in the video-game-to-big-screen release "The Prince of Persia," he went into the part with a new outlook on acting. "For a while I thought that to be a skilled actor you had to do things that were torturous," Gyllenhaal told USA Today. But after a career filled with intense films such as "Brokeback Mountain" and "Brothers," the 29-year-old decided, "Now I feel more like having fun and enjoying myself." … Keeping the peace with husband Josh Kelly isn't as important as telling it like it is for "Killers" star Katherine Heigl. "There are some things that if you say them out loud it will hurt the other person's feelings," the actress explained in an interview with Parade magazine. "I tend to say them anyway because I think it's better to be honest. I gave Josh a really hard time recently because he got this new haircut for a photo on the country album he's releasing. I really didn't like it, even though everybody else loved it. I was like, 'You don't look like you. You're really sexy, you're a manly man and this is kind of a metrosexual look.' Finally, he just stopped listening to me." For the record: Team Josh.

The SplCounter (Simple Counter) was created to record how many hits
you have had for each page id. It creates a cookie, set to expire within the ammount of
time you decide (default is set at 24 hrs) to help keep your counter as accurate
as possible. It allows you to display text digits, digit images, a single image, or just
hide the counter all together, and gives you the option of redirecting to another url.
It also allows you to turn cookies off, keep track of links, and use an image tag to
keep track of page views.
SplCounter works using JavaScript, so no need to worry about having SSI
(Server Side Includes) available on your server.
The beginning of your JavaScript will look something like below:
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.your-website.com/cgi-bin/splcounter.cgi?
Right after the "?" you will need to type "id=" and choose a name for your page.
( ie. id=IndexPage )
Then it depends on which one of the six choices below you would like to use.
NOTE: "&zeros=" stands for the number of digits to be displayed in your counter.
1. TEXT DISPLAY - &zeros=5&display=text"></script>
2. IMAGE DISPLAY - &display=image"></script>
3. HIDE DISPLAY - &display=hide"></script>
4. GRAPHICS DISPLAY - &zeros=5&display=graphics&type=a"></script>
5. REDIRECT URL - &redirectURL=http://www.your-website.com/another/page"></script>
6. COUNT EVERY HIT - &cookie=no ( Add this inside any of the above )
Everything should be pretty self-explanatory, except for the graphics display.
If you look at the graphics display line (no. 4), you will see at the end of it
( type=a ). Type stands for the type of digit images you would like to use for a
particular page. There should be two sets of digit images included with this zip
file. When you look at them, you will see images numbered from 0-9 then you should
see images numbered a0-a9 ("a" is the "type" of digit images being called).
Also if you wish to display the counter without actually counting a hit, all you
have to do is add this ( ;only ) to the end of which ever display you choose
( ie. &display=graphics;only ).
