Scouting units from all over Southern California are encouraged to participate in the largest earthquake drill in American history.
To be prepared for the Great Southern California ShakeOut, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, along with the California Geological Survey, Southern California Earthquake Center, and nearly 200 other partners in government, academia, emergency response, and industry, have created a scenario of an earthquake that will certainly hit with in the next 30 years but could happen at any time. Community awareness and preparedness will be critical for the well-being of pre- and post-disaster recovery. To "be prepared" will make the difference between a disaster and a catastrophe.
We're asking your BSA local council to join Eagle ScoutParents of Southern California by logging on, signing in, and registering to be counted among the millions of other Californians as we learn how to "Be Prepared to Move Quickly." NOTE: Many of your Scouts are already registered through their schools but are not currently identified as Scouts or part of a Scouting unit.
The Great Southern California ShakeOut
At 10 a.m. on November 13, join millions of Southern Californians in the ShakeOut Drill, the largest earthquake preparedness activity in U.S. history!
3.7 Million and Counting!
What's happening in your county:
Los Angeles / Orange
Riverside / San Bernardino
San Diego / Ventura
Imperial / Kern
The Great Southern California ShakeOut includes the ShakeOut Drill and other events to help us get ready for big earthquakes, and to prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes. Go online to review what Boy Scouts of America can do.
Main Activities
ShakeOut Drill (November 13)
International Earthquake Conference (November 12-14)
Los Angeles Earthquake: Get Ready Rally (November 14)
Take One More Step (November 14-16)
In collaboration with Golden Guardian 2008 (November 13-18)

I think it's very hard to say that the BBC doesn't do a good job. Its TV stations broadcast some great shows, some of which it even makes itself, it also has some great radio stations (and 6Music) which have brilliant presenters and play a truly wide range of music. Its online effort is truly magnificent with a great structure and wonderfully up-to-date and relevant content. Its commitment and development of new technologies is impressive and visionary.
However with an income from us lot (in the UK) of �3billion so everything it should do should be bloody excellent.
The problem with living in a jacuzzi of cash is it does somewhat insulate you from the real world, well, the commercial world. It's not that they mean to out-do and kill non-BBC services, it's just a by-product of their development. Tim Gardham, when he was asked to review the BBC's new radio stations summed it up well when he described the BBC as "well meaning herd of elephants, stomping through the jungle, trumpeting its achievements, each executive holding onto the tail of the one in front. They are undoubtedly a force for good, but unfortunately can be oblivious as to what might get crushed under their enormous feet".
To try and mitigate some of this stomping the BBC governors have come up with this idea of a public value test, a public consultation, and then if successful the issuing of a 'service licences'. The idea is to try and be transparent with new developments rather than them just 'appearing' and potentially killing-off commercially-funded competitors.
However this doesn't stop the BBC trialling things before this process starts. The biggest trial is probably the BBC's podcasting 'experiment', though there is something else I noticed last weekend which i'm not sure if I feel comfortable about. You see the government was very keen that digital television wasn't dominated by the BBC and instiagted a big public consultation before it licensed BBC Three and BBC Four. Obviously the BBC has huge cross-promotional power and it didn't want that to marginalise the development of new and diverse services from commercial operators. This licence also ensured the BBC made good 'public-service' programmes a part of their services. For example, a pure comedy and drama channel wouldn't be that different from ITV2 and E4, but one that must included news and documentaries might – and thus BBC Three was allowed to be born.
Therefore I think it's a bit odd that the BBC has launched BBC Three Catch-up, an interactive service (initially on satellite) that allows viewers to see a sort of BBC Three A, B and C that loops key BBC Three programmes. This Sunday, for example, you'll be able to see two episodes each of Two Pints of Lager and a Packed of Crisps, Trauma Uncut and Tiny Tearaways.
I'm slightly divided on this experiment, part of me thinks, that as a licence fee payer I should be able to see content i've paid for, however the other part of me thinks that this is an evening where it makes it even harder for commercial stations to compete. It's not as if Two Pints is never repeated, as it's always on BBC Three, and with the rise of Sky Plus is it a decent use of the BBC's bandwidth? If they are to use a service like this wouldn't it be more public service if they were carouselling innovative BBC programmes that people might have missed and then use the brand power of BBC Three to help bring them to people who weren't aware of them the first time round?
The BBC should be applauded for being on the cutting edge of any content and technological developments however it would be good if they considered themselves as part of the broadcast ecology with special responsibilities rather than existing in its own sealed bubble. Its technological developments should re-enforce its brilliant public service reputation not distance itself from them.

AIKEN, S.C. – The Georgia College women's basketball team (9-7, 5-4 PBC) traveled to take on No. 6 USC Aiken (14-2, 7-2 PBC) Thursday evening and the Pacers hot shooting led to a 59-39 loss for the Bobcats.
Enisha Donley (Loganville, Ga.) led the Bobcats for the second game in a row scoring 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting while adding eight rebounds, one assist and one steal. Just six Bobcats reached the scoring column, with Shanteona Keys (Roswell, Ga.) adding eight points and Thresia Elskamp (Potosi, Wis.) seven.
The Pacers were led by Daniela Tarailo, who had a game-high 16 points on 6-of-14 shooting from the field and 4-of-8 from behind the arc. Brittany Hill added 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting while also chipping in five rebounds and three assists.
As a team, the Bobcats shot 13-of-41 from the field and 4-of-12 from behind the arc, compared to the Pacers 24-of-47 from the field and 6-of-14 from downtown.
The Bobcats out-rebounded the Pacers by a 30-28 margin, but the Bobcats would also turn the ball over 20 times compared to the Pacers 14.
The Georgia College women's basketball team will return to the court at the Centennial Center Saturday, Jan. 26 at 1:30 when they take on Young Harris College to complete the season series against the newest Peach Belt Conference (PBC) member.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

text: Breadcrumb Home Scott Suttell Blog Editor's Choice September 07, 2012 02:30 AM Two Cleveland arts institutions grab The New York Times' attention Scott Suttell Managing Editor Tweet Share Share Email More Print Let's do some quick hits for a Friday. The New York Times finds great cultural significance in Cleveland this fall. The paper's comprehensive fall arts preview, running Sunday, includes nods to a couple key Cleveland institutions. In its profile of significant new architectural projects coming online this fall, The Times notes that new museums "seem to be popping up all over," and Cleveland has one that's especially notable. "A building by London-based architect Farshid Moussavi for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland, covered in mirror-finish black stainless steel, will open to the public on Oct. 8," the paper notes. (The story includes a great photo of the building's exterior.) The Times also looks forward to a Nov. 13 Carnegie Hall visit by the Cleveland Orchestra. "These days the orchestra tends to alternate in New York between making big statements — as with its Bruckner symphonies at the Lincoln Center Festival last year and its concert performance of Strauss's opera "Salome" at Carnegie Hall in May — and slipping in and out relatively modestly," according to the newspaper. "Here it sets down on the way to one of its regular Miami residencies, with Franz Welser-Möst, its music director, conducting works by Beethoven (Symphony No. 4, "Grosse Fuge"), Matthias Pintscher ("Chute d'Étoiles," in its New York premiere) and Scriabin ("Poem of Ecstasy")," The Times notes. It says Mr. Welser-Möst "reserves his big New York statement this season for the Vienna Philharmonic's Carnegie weekend in March." No one wants to be on the wrong side of hot-headed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, so a unit of Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. will need to tread carefully. The Associated Press reports that Gov. Christie this week "suggested legislation that would require the state's regulated utilities to do more to get the lights back on after storm-related power outages or face steep fines." His suggestion followed a report by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities that reviewed the performance of the four utilities regulated by the state — PSE&G, JCP&L, ACE and Rockland Electric. JCP&L is a unit of FirstEnergy. The AP says the proposed legislation would allow regulators to impose financial penalties "with real teeth," as Gov. Christie put it, to utilities with slow post-storm responses — up to $25,000 per day, compared with $100 a day now, to a maximum of $2 million. "The pending bill would bar the power companies from passing punitive costs onto ratepayers, Gov. Christie said," according to the AP. Gov. Christie was "particularly critical" of JCP&L after Hurricane Irene in August 2011, calling the utility's storm response "deficient." On Wednesday, utility spokesman Ron Morano said the company has since improved how it responds to major storms, the AP reports. Clearly, someone at Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. has a thing for dinosaurs. The Shakopee (Minn.) News reports that Sandusky–based Cedar Fair's Valley Fair amusement part near Minneapolis will add a five-acre "Dinosaurs Alive" exhibit next summer. The Valley Fair exhibit, which will feature 30 animatronic dinosaurs, will join existing "Dinosaurs Alive" exhibits at Cedar Point and Kings Island, two Cedar Fair sibling parks. Talking about sex during sex is good for sex. So finds Elizabeth Babin, an expert on health communication at Cleveland State University, who "questioned over 200 people on topics such as how they talked (and moaned) to each other during sex, how confident they were in their sexual prowess, and how anxious it made them feel to talk about doing it," according to this story from Jezebel.com. She found that "apprehensive people were less likely to have positive sexual experiences and that chillness and self-confidence were associated with more communication during sex, which was, in turn, associated with more sexual satisfaction," the story notes. Dr. Babin tells LiveScience.com that anxiety "might be kind of taking [anxious people] out of the moment and therefore reducing the overall satisfaction they experience during their encounters. Sexual communication "is a skill," she adds. "And we're not all well-trained in that skill." You also can follow me on Twitter for more news about business and Northeast Ohio. I'm about 650 followers behind @TheBedfordBear, so help me catch up. Recommended for You View the discussion thread.

Germany's Eco-Trap Is Environmentalism Really Working?
Germany is among the world leaders when it comes to taking steps to save the environment. But many of the measures are not delivering the promised results. Biofuels have led to the clear-cutting of rainforests, plastics are being burned rather than recycled and new generation lightbulbs have led to a resurgence of mercury production. A SPIEGEL survey.
As usual, ordinary Germans were to blame. Everything had been prepared for the green revolution: fresh supplies and new signs at the gas stations, and the refinery depots were full to the brim with the new wonderfuel. But then drivers turned their backs on the new era. They didn't want to buy E10, a blend of ethanol and gasoline, even through it cost almost 10 cents less per liter than conventional gas.
"It's annoying but there's no question of stopping the sale of E10," said Environment Minister Norbert Röttgen. E10, Röttgen said with a hint of threat in his voice, was a milestone of German climate control policy.
When it comes to the environment these days, all other interests must take a back seat, including possible engine damage from E10. After all, the United Nations has proclaimed that ensuring environmental sustainability is one of its "millennium goals," and greater importance is assigned to climate negotiations among the big industrial nations than to economic summits these days.
All the serious political parties devote large parts of their policy programs to environmental policy. In the coalition deal between Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives and the pro-business Free Democrats, protecting the climate comes ahead of education and internal security in the list of policy priorities. The government is as committed to promoting the development of electric cars as it is to expanding renewable energies and protecting fish stocks in German rivers.
There is no issue that produces such unanimity among the parties. A proposal to increase tax credits for employees led to weeks of political debate, while the 2009 European Union ban on conventional light bulbs was approved without a single debate in parliament. As soon as the word environment is mentioned in any policy initiatives, all discussion becomes redundant.
Great Crested News and 50 Million Euros
And no price seems too high. Germany even spends tens of millions of euros on redirecting roads or building tunnels to protect animal species. Last August, for example, a four kilometer long, 50 million tunnel was approved for a highway in the state of Hesse. The reason? A colony of great crested newts had to be protected.
Germans usually obediently go along with environmental measures, in fact they're a model people when it comes to green living. They carefully sort their rubbish, take their bottles back to the supermarket and put their batteries in special containers. When they were told to have carbon filters fitted to their cars, they did so without complaining. And of course they're at the forefront when it comes to attaching solar panels to their roofs or insulating their homes.
Germans only rarely question environmental policies. The light bulb ban was one example. Most didn't see the need to scrap conventional bulbs when the simplest way to save electricity was just to turn off the light. And Germans have been unusually stubborn about the biofuel E10 -- the name refers to the 10 percent ethanol admixture. They would prefer to pay a few more cents fpr a liter of gas than put their car engines at risk.
Many haven't yet fully realized that E10 is an ecological swindle. People who want to help the environment shouldn't use it. Nine large European environmental associations recently conducted a joint study which concluded that the bottom line impact of the fuel on the environment is negative. Rainforests are being clear-cut in Brazil and Borneo to make room for sugarcane and oil palm cultivation. At the same time there's a shortage of arable land for food production, which is leading to the threat of famine in parts of the world. Last year, the price of grain rose sharply in the global market.
A single full tank of bio-ethanol uses up as much grain as an adult can eat in a whole year. In order to cover the German requirement for biofuel, an arable area of around one million hectares would be needed. That is four times the size of the south-western German state of Saarland, which would need to be fertilized, treated with pesticides and intensively farmed. Environmental groups say that across Europe, farming for biofuels would create up to 56 million tons of additional greenhouse gases -- an environmental crime they say must be stopped immediately.
Diminishing Utility
But it's too late for that. Farming and industry have already made the conversion. Germany has devoted huge tracts of farmland to producing maize (for biogas), rapeseed (for biodiesel) and sugar beet and wheat (for biopetrol).
Not everything that looks green serves the environment. The ecological principle of proceeding with care doesn't seem to apply to environmental policy. The more, the better, seems to be the principle. No one is calculating whether all the billions being invested in protecting the environment are actually being spent wisely. Ordinary citizens can't judge it and many experts have no interest in shedding any light on this aspect because their livelihoods are at stake.
A large amount of money flows into studies, risk assessments and providing seals of approval. In many cases, a closer look at environmental measures reveals that they're expensive and don't have much effect. German environmental standards are so high already that it would require an enormous expense to achieve further improvements -- especially in comparison with less developed nations such as China, India or the former Eastern bloc states.
In economics, it's called the law of diminishing marginal utility. The first glass of water you drink will help a lot to quench your thirst. The second will help a little less and so on. By the 10th glass you will be feeling unpleasantly full or even sick. That's the worst aspect: some major environmental policies aren't just ineffective -- they are counterproductive.

Hi, I'm Sandra Friend, owner / webmaster / chief content creator and a lifelong hiker. In addition to being a blogger and outdoor writer like my partner John Keatley, we are travel writers, too, which is why we need to be transparent about our business activities: not just to make the Federal Trade Commission happy, but to let you know we're the good guys.
Now and again, we're provided free admission, free lodging, and sometimes even free transportation to visit places to write about. (Free food doesn't happen often!) It's a norm of our business, since getting reimbursed for the expenses of travel research is a rare thing indeed. We don't, however, let these perks color our coverage. We tell it as we see it – or leave it out of the book (or blog) altogether if we think you won't enjoy it.
And yes, we really DO hike the hikes, ride the bike trails, and paddle the paddling trails. It's what we do. We've started accepting destination information from you, the reader, but we vet it before we post it, and we let you know who provided it.
As freelance writers trying to scrape together a living from many little scraps, we do try and make a little money from this website. Once in a rare while, we'll be asked to write a little something for pay. You'll see the words "sponsored post" in the tag if we do, and we'll mention our sponsors in the post. We receive income from click-throughs as well. For instance, if you click on a book image and end up on Amazon.com, they pay us a little something above the buck or so we earn in royalties on each book. Some advertisers pay us a little percentage if you buy something from them.
Note the emphasis on the word "little." 😉
Our paid directory listings are provided as a service to connect you and outdoor service providers in Florida. Any paid listing will be clearly marked as such on its content page.
Advertising and donations (monetary and in-kind) also help us cover the cost of running the site. However, this is not a nonprofit effort, although it feels like it sometimes. But we have volunteered for many nonprofits that help keep Florida's outdoors a pleasant place to play, and will continue to do so as long as we are Florida residents.
Thanks for visiting, and remember – a day in the woods always beats a day in the office!

Instructions for review process
Break participants into small groups for reviewing each others' teaching ideas
You'll work in a small group with 2 other people; groups will be assigned.
The goal of the review session is to have everyone read each others' activity and offer suggestions and feedback that can be used to strengthen the activity.
The review period is 2 hours. During the first hour (from 10:30 - 11:30 Central time), read through the activity pages and prepare feedback.
Use the CLEAN review form to guide your feedback. You do not need to complete the form.
During the second hour (from 11:30 - 12:30 Central time), call into the phone line for your group.
On the phone, each each group spends 15-20 minutes discussing each activity. The author can summarize the activity, and the reviewers can follow with questions for the author, thoughts about its strengths and weaknesses, and brainstorming suggestions for improvement.

Ikhras haters Thabit al-Arabi and Qassem Lufti, who have a life-long difficulty with the English language, moderation and accuracy, have laid out (or lied out) a long list of reasons why they think Syrian Dictator Bashar al-Assad shouldn't be attacked and that the pro-Democracy protesters should be blamed and criticized.
But they know that their support for the Syrian government, which has murdered more than 4,000 innocent civilians including hundreds of children, is not an easy one to argue. It makes them look like hypocrites as they assault and slander an array of people including. Their targets include star comedians Dean Obeidallah and Maysoon Zayid (who host the annual New York Arab Comedy Festival), and writers Hussein Ibish, Ray Hanania and Mona eltahawy. These are but a few of the scores of people that Ikhras brutalizes in their online verbal assaults as if they were the Syrian military police attacking civilians seeking freedom in Homs. (I can just see the Ikhras goofs cheering as new statistics surface about innocent Syrian civilians being killed by the Syrian Government that they consistently defend.)
All you have to do is read their Twitter posts, posts that Qassem and Thabet recently referred to as "Twits" in an email. Maybe that's because they are the "twits."
Hussein Ibish has penned a scathing expose of who these sad refugees from truth really are.
(Click here to read that priceless unveiling of the rotten core of Ikhras.)
Here's a direct link to Ibish's article: Click here.
But here are some of their most recent Tweets (Yes Thabet and Qassem, they're called Tweets, not Twits!) that demonstrate and prove their loyalty to the Syrian Dictatorship and why they pick and chose their words carefully to pretend as if they care about, say, the Palestinian refugees (they don't) or the people of Egypt (they don't) or ADC (which upsets them the most because ADC fights for the rights of victims of discrimination including those bullied by cowards like Qassem and Thabet and the Ikhras gaggle of online bullies).
Read how they carefully tiptoe and pretend they do not support the brutality of the Syrian regime, and then use that argument as a means of attacking others. The way they exploit the suffering of the Palestinians as a means of saying, hey, what's happening in Syria isn't that important because Bush is a liar and a murderer, too.
Their theme here is right out of the Little Red Book published by Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian Baath Party dictators.
The show is sponsored by Royal Jordanian Airlines. Unlikely RJ would sponsor these clowns w/o involvement of Gov agencyascf.jo/index.html
Can anyone provide info on this show in Amman, Jordan?ascf.jo/index.html Interested in role of US Embassy in this event.
Interesting to contrast Western officials descriptions of Eric Honeker/Gustav Husak/Nicolae Ceaușescu w/descriptions of Qadhafi/Saddam/Assad
Why do some ignore mass murder of 1.5 Million people by Bush & Blair in Iraq & feign humanity over crimes by Arab rulers US Gov opposes?
Arabs must oppose Arab tyranny w/o adopting racist double standards which dehumanize an entire culture and not just a regime or ruler.
Arabs who oppose Arab dictators shouldnt accept the West's dehumanization of Arab rulers because it includes dehumanization of Arab culture
Arabs deserve better than to have to choose between dictatorship and imperialism.
just coined a new term. Housism (n): collaboration with the oppressors as a "strategy" to end their subjugation of the oppressed.

Finings are fine!
I use Irish moss myself. I usually allow two weeks in the secondary with ales and then I bottle. Typically I have to allow about 3 to 4 weeks for the beer to carbonate, but my batches have always carbonated. The clarity is worth the wait as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks much for the tip, Jeff. I added the finings about 1 week into the secondary and left it there a week. I'll bottle it tonight, it's a Porter and I can't wait to sample it!

CyberLink PowerDVD 11 Ultra is an extremely versatile media player that aims to be able to play just about any media file, almost wherever it might be.
The program is able to play almost every type of video file, for instance, including MKV (H.264), FLV (H.264), WTV, 3GP and 3G2 formats. It can also play music files, and CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. And new to this version is support for photos, with PowerDVD able to display slideshows of your favourite shots in just a few clicks.
You also get support for playing media files beyond those stored on your own PC. And so PowerDVD 11 can reach out to access content on DLNA servers, Apple and Android smart devices. You can play YouTube videos from within the program. And it's even possible to view all your Facebook and Flickr friends' photo albums from within PowerDVD 2011, in a single, integrated view, for quick and easy browsing.
Strong 3D support allows you to play Blu-ray 3D discs and 3D videos, and view 3D photos (MPO/ JPS). TruTheater 3D allows you to convert 2D movies into 3D versions, and the new TrueTheater 3D for photos can create a 3D effect on your favourite pictures, too.
Enhanced social media support sees you able to upload movies to YouTube or Facebook, add comments to Facebook and Flickr photos, and comment on movies as you're watching them to Facebook and Twitter, all from within PowerDVD 2011.
And it's now possible to make all of this happen from your iPhone, iPad or Android device, thanks to the addition of some easy-to-use remote control apps.
Please note, PowerDVD is now also available in Standard and Deluxe versions, which have less features (no Blu-ray playback, no full Dolby Digital 7.1 support), but are available at a lower price.
It's a little expensive, but take a look at PowerDVD 11 and you'll soon see why - this hugely powerful media player comes packed with interesting and valuable features

And to Entertain You While I'm Gone...
(Apologies for the poor sound; these were done with a small hand-held camera.)
12 comments:
Thats really great I'd go see it .But who's the guy sitting on stage in street clothes?he seems very out of place!ReplyDelete
Lovely! Though I need a little more red in our Jamie, hair and tartan alike.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 2, 2010 at 11:55 AM
I was at the performance in Aberdeen. It was held in a church and there was no actual "stage" as such. The man you're referring to is actually Mike Gibb the writer....he narrated in between songs. That's why he's getting up and sitting down. It was a showcase of some of the Outlander The Musical songs...not an actual stage production.
Yup, this will definately keep us occupied.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed that very much. Both actors did a lovely job of channelling the characters.
Thanks for the video!
What impresses me is how much Allan and Sue sound live as they did on the CD. They both have amazing voices and they deserve a verra big stage production. Even though they are only at the front of a church, they have such a presence. To see a full production musical of Outlander would be magical. It would have to be Allan and Sue though. I'd fly to see it for sure.ReplyDelete
Thanks Cairine ..I would so drive miles to see this if it ever came to the US!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 3, 2010 at 11:11 AM
Keep your fingers crossed...like I am :0)
What a beautiful voice Allan has!ReplyDelete
Now... what's up with the dude in blue jeans? Did he just step through the stones from the present?
Hi SandraReplyDelete
That is Mike Gibb who wrote the lyrics. During the performance he narrated the storyline. He did move out of the way when they did there singing.
And def right about Allan...great voice!
Dear Tiffany--ReplyDelete
I've met Allan in person, and can assure you that his hair is very red indeed, though a dark red. [g] It's shaved pretty close here, though--he said that his hair was purple the night before the launch (having been dyed for a previous role), but that he didn't want to play Jamie as an 18th century punk, so shaved it back to its essential (though very short) red-headedness. If you go look at the earlier blog-post titled "Pictures, You Say...", you'll see a shot of Allan in kilt that makes that evident.
Ha! Okay good. I guess buzz cut IS preferable to 18th century punk. The red is much more evident in those pictures. These things are important. See, I am with a red headed man myself. And I knew from your books that you had to be too because nobody else would notice that those red heads have blonde eyelashes that melt into a dark red at the tips and it's a detail that I see pop up in your books. I get all giddy because I've always loved that little trait! ;)ReplyDelete
Dear Tiffany--ReplyDelete
Oh, I'm a total sucker for red-headed men. [g] But yes, I've had one to hand for the last 38 years. Good to have a body-model handy!

~Easy Homemade Lollipops~
The History of The Christmas Tree...@ Our House
Get the biggest one you can find and decorate it with LOTS of candy canes and tons of lights. I don't think you can ever have too many of either one. Well, maybe just once..we did. Now, I believe in real trees, I mean, how can you go through the Christmas season without that amazing real tree scent permeating your entire house..well, at least the room the tree is in anyway? So, one December morning, I walk into the living room to find an army of ants..ANTS, covering my beautifully candy cane decked out tree! They were inside every candy cane wrapper..eeww..so, goodbye Christmas Tree! That distant memory along with pine needle embedded carpet, sticky sap hands, and the
pain joy of having to take the whole crazy thing down every January (or March.. what, who, was that me?) has not deterred this Christmas crazy girl one little bit! So I say to you, get out there to those Christmas Tree Farms..or Home Depot, and find your family's perfect tree!
Merry Christmas Tree Choosing & warm up that hot cocoa with mini marshmallows. :o)
Place peppermints on parchment paper lined sheet pan. Bake 8-10 minutes @ 275 degrees. Upon removing from oven, immediately press decorations into melted candy and insert lollipop stick. Just dab on a little corn syrup if you're having trouble with decorations sticking.
*edit* All tree decorations are from Wilton. Click here for the link.
Easy & pretty melted peppermint Christmas trees!

A week after getting lit up by the Chargers for 270 passing yards and one touchdown, the Ravens face a Browns team that is 22nd in the NFL in passing offense and will go with its backup quarterback. Colt McCoy, who went 17-for-35 for 192 yards, a touchdown and an interception in the first meeting, is sidelined by a concussion, and veteran Seneca Wallace will start in his place. Wallace (above) made his first start of the season last week and went 18-for-31 for 226 yards, including a 76-yard touchdown pass to Greg Little, the Browns' longest play since 2007. Little, a second-round pick out of North Carolina, leads the Browns with 57 receptions and 669 receiving yards. He could be covered by the Ravens' top cornerback, Lardarius Webb, who will likely start after his role was reduced last week because of a toe injury. The Ravens had three sacks against the Browns three weeks ago. After getting no sacks last week, the Ravens are second in the NFL with 45. EDGE: RAVENS

It could be said that it has only taken 40 years for the times to catch up to Tim Fuller.
Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Hillary Hall continues to carve her place in future Colorado history books by issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in defiance of threats and attempted court intervention on the part of state Attorney General John Suthers. But Fuller etched his entry there a long time ago.
Now 71, Fuller is watching the current Boulder sexual equity drama unfold from the six-acre spread outside Dripping Springs, Texas, that he shares with his partner of 49 years, Howard Deakyne. The two men married in Vancouver, Washington, on Oct. 3.
"We do have computers here, and the Internet," Fuller noted, with a soft chuckle.
It was the early days of computers — anything resembling the Internet was still unheard of to virtually everyone — when Fuller dominated headlines in Boulder and beyond in the early 1970s during his brief and turbulent career on the Boulder City Council.
Most famously, Fuller stands still as the city's only sitting council member to be recalled in the past century, for his vote as part of a five-member majority in support of an ordinance barring employment discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Research by Wendy Hall, manager of Boulder's Carnegie Branch Library for Local History, found record of no other council member's recall, dating back to 1918.
Targeted in the same September 1974 recall was then-Mayor Penfield Tate, the first and still the sole African American ever to hold that office in Boulder. Tate — who introduced the so-called "sexual preference" amendment in December 1973 — dodged recall by fewer than 600 votes. Fuller, however, went down in the recall, falling just short of the 50 percent of the electorate he needed to hang on.
"I don't shy from it, and many times I use it as a badge of honor, in the sense that I stood my ground for something of strong principle," Fuller said of being recalled. "I was just ahead of the population at the time.
"The biggest learning experience in my life was serving on the City Council and realizing the limitations of how far you can push democracy and populist approval. I realize that I had exceeded that."
The three women on the council who had also voted for the anti-discrimination ordinance, Karen Paget, Janet Roberts and Ruth Correll, could not be targeted for recall under the city's charter because at that time they had been re-elected less than six months before.
Tate, who would lose a re-election bid in 1975, Correll, who became Boulder's first female mayor in 1978, and Roberts have all died. That leaves Fuller and Paget — who is Hillary Hall's mother-in-law — as the lone surviving members of a council majority that was the center of the storm four decades ago this year.
Now, watching Hall and the same-sex marriage issue unfold from afar, Fuller said, "She's taken the standard, open, Boulder stance — strength, openness and looking toward the future.
"She is really doing well, by her stance. I think her standing up to the restrictions and to the old way of thinking has been what I consider standard Boulder politics, and I really appreciate that and congratulate that."
For Hall, the feelings of respect are mutual. Although she was primarily raised in Boulder, her family was living in Walnut Creek, California — and she was just 8 years old — at the time that Fuller and Tate found themselves at the melting point of a political inferno.
But Hall has become schooled in that history, in no small part through conversations with her mother-in-law, Paget, who was part of it.
"We're where we are now because of so many people," Hall said. "Back then, that's when it took courage. That's when it took commitment, when you had their commitment to justice and equality and fairness. … It is so admirable."
Paget, living now in Emeryville, California, is not in frequent contact with Fuller. But her thoughts have turned to him, as Hall fights for same-sex marriage on the same turf where a young, long-haired man's opposition to sexual discrimination in employment got him thrown out of office.
"I think he understood that he was way out in front, and I think he understood on some level that would change over time," Paget said. "But that's what happens to you when you're that far in front.
"A lot of people didn't even know he was gay at that time. I don't think he considered himself in the closet. It just didn't arise."
Fuller said his homosexuality was known to those in his inner circle, and a decision was made that, despite his support of the non-discrimination law, he wasn't going to promote his sexual preferences in the political arena.
"Basically, the idea was if I were ever asked, or if it were ever made an issue, I would stand up to it," Fuller said. "I was never asked, and therefore, I never told."
'Huge conservative backlash'
Fuller recalls that the Boulder he arrived in for the first time from his native east Texas in 1966 — then returning to settle down in 1968 — ended on the north side at about Iris Avenue and Broadway.
He and Deakyne had about $20 between them.
"That was when Boulder was a staid and sleepy little college town," he said, and Fuller understood that he was part of a coming wave of "new people and new ideas" that stood to change the city's character.
He had come out to his parents, who ran a dairy farm in Huntsville, Texas; actually, he admits he was caught by his father in the act of "fooling around" with a friend from his high school football team. But his evolution as a political activist and social progressive was moderated by the practicalities of an early life marked by 4 a.m. wake-ups to help milk cows.
"I hadn't read a book until I got to the University of Texas," he claimed. "That was like going to New York. I hadn't been out of the county, except to go buy cows or go rodeoing."
Perhaps fittingly, Fuller's first job in the Boulder area, after leaving the study of philosophy behind in Austin, was as a horse wrangler on the Trojan Ranch in Gold Hill, the first place he ever saw snow.
"It was a wonderful time, extraordinary time. But it was not liveable," he said in an oral history recorded by the Carnegie Branch Library. "We had this one little stove. And I'd never heard of anything like 40 degrees below zero, with the wind."
After seeing a bit too much snow that first winter, he and Deakyne fled for a year or so to San Francisco, landing in the Haight-Ashbury district, the epicenter of a cultural revolution that helped shape their political and social consciences. They were back in Boulder by 1968, and Fuller bought the Brillig Works bookstore at 1332 College Ave., which became a landmark social hub on University Hill.
With the Brillig Works as a springboard, Fuller also helped found and served as president of the Community Free School, originally anchored at the Highland School at Ninth Street and Arapahoe Avenue. It had as many as 5,000 students enrolled a year in its heyday, he said.
When Fuller won election to the City Council in 1971 at age 28, his campaign was fueled by issues such as tenants' rights, giving voice to student and minority concerns, and limited growth.
"I didn't run as a gay person for the City Council, for practical purposes," he said. "Boulder may have been very open, but at the same time, there was this huge conservative backlash. The changing personality and the changing characteristics of Boulder was on the table, and it would have been a step too far back in '70 and '71."
Glenda Russell, a psychologist and former University of Colorado professor, arrived in Boulder in 1970 and has written extensively on LGBT psychology. Fuller most recently came to Boulder in 2009 to deliver a keynote address at a symposium Russell helped organize, "Boulder's Queer History: Out of the Shadows."
Russell said Fuller's support of Boulder's sexual preference ordinance — the law would be easily overturned by a voter referendum the same year as his recall — was just one piece of a complex political dynamic that led to his ouster.
"Tim, together with Pen Tate, they were absolutely significant figures, and they were both ahead of their time," Russell said. "Tim was ahead of his time as a gay man who was trying to do the right thing, despite the fact that he wasn't very open about his sexual orientation at the time.
"He was taking more heat for being a representative of the hippie contingent. He was for landlord-tenant rights, and that inspired as much antagonism for Tim as anything else. The town was truly split, and Tim was seen to represent a number of interests that weren't popular at the time."
The Daily Camera reported aggressively on an allegation that Fuller hadn't met the requirement of a minimum three years' residence at the time he ran for the council, also running numerous ads placed by those arguing the same point.
The allegation made its way into Boulder District Court, with the support of first-term District Attorney Alex Hunter. It became moot, however, after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled a similar statute from Aspen to be unconstitutional.
Former Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Clela Rorex, the subject of national news coverage in 1975 for issuing marriage licenses to a half-dozen same-sex couples before stopping under order of Colorado's attorney general, said Fuller and the other council members who had supported the anti-discrimination ordinance were important influences to her.
"They certainly contributed to my education, in terms of being leaders and standing up for civil rights, and they were very much a part of helping develop my own thought process along those lines," said Rorex, who turned 71 on Wednesday and now lives in Longmont.
She also sees Fuller's recall and the attempt to oust Tate as a reminder of a tension between liberal and conservative values in Boulder County that she believes has never vanished completely — even though its congressional district is now represented by the openly gay U.S. Rep. Jared Polis.
The city's voters also approved a citizens initiative to include sexual orientation as part of the city's Human Rights Ordinance in 1987.
However, "Boulder always liked to give the semblance of being extremely liberal, but I'm not even sure that today they can say that wholeheartedly," Rorex said.
"It's a college town, of course, and there are many liberal-minded and progressive-minded people that live in college towns, but there are components of conservatism in Boulder. I still really believe it."
'I got ahead of the game'
Fuller moved from Boulder for good not long after the 1974 recall. He has never again put himself on the line as a candidate.
"When I left the City Council, I decided I never wanted to run for public office again, for personal reasons, not just for political reasons," he said.
Fuller and his partner's first stop was a 200-acre goat farm in south-central Missouri. Politics remained in his blood, however, evidenced by his serving in the mid-1980s as executive director of the Missouri Democratic Party, and by subsequent years of activism in Washington, D.C., including as executive director of the Gray Panthers and taking leadership roles in national efforts to combat hunger and homelessness.
Additionally, Fuller has strategized other candidates' bids for both statewide and national office.
"Being a candidate took a huge amount in personal integrity challenges, and I didn't want to go through that again," Fuller said. "Like, for instance, had I run as an openly gay man? I didn't feel like I could do that and get away with being an elected official anywhere. I prefer managing and putting strategies together, a game-plan."
Fuller admits that as the discussion among gay activists started to build in the 1990s toward fighting for gay marriage rights, he was unconvinced of the wisdom of such a focus. He didn't view marriage as being supportive of the progressive values he had long embraced.
Historically, he said, "It goes to possession and roles and a dynamic that basically represses the women of the relationship. And no matter where you look, going back years and years and years, even in the Bible, (it seemed) that marriage would not be a good model for defining open and challenging intellectual relationships.
"Why take that on as something that puts up another barrier?" he said. "I was concerned in the mid-90s that gay marriage would set the wrong dynamic, as to how the movement could influence positively our world. I think that was short-sighted on my part."
Fuller traces his own shift in attitude to the pairing on the national stage of attorneys David Boies and Theodore Olson, ideological foes in the Bush versus Gore election battle of 2000, in successfully challenging California's Proposition 8 same-sex marriage ban to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Once Ted Olson became involved, I changed my whole mind because of his reputation," Fuller said. "Boies and Olson combined what needed to be done, in both the liberal and conservative viewpoint. They did it as it should have been done."
Like many advocates of same-sex marriage, Fuller believes the tide is moving irrevocably in one direction and will not recede.
"My point of view is that the door has been opened. There is no way back now," Fuller said.
He spends a lot of time writing, landscaping and pitching in on chores to help his neighbors. And Fuller maintains pride over his central role in an aspect of Boulder County history to which new chapters are being scripted almost daily.
"Was I happy living there? Was I proud of my time there? Yes," Fuller said. "Was I disappointed that I got ahead of the game? Yes. That was my mistake, and I did not know it until after the fact.
"I thought I was pushing the edge, in tandem to the population. And I just got ahead of it."

Advocacy efforts over Paul Rudolph's endangered Orange County Government Center had the blogosphere in a tizzy last month in what some would describe as a modern architecture meme. While a number of larger newspaper and magazine blogs carried the story, many smaller personal blogs did too. As we bookmark and follow these blogs, we thought we would share our discoveries of those also working to document and discuss the finer (or more colorful) aspects our modern built heritage.
Brutalism may not be the taste d'jor of the general public, but the style certainly has its fans on the internet. From the photographic inventory of Brutal, Bold and Brilliant to the classic form of Beton Brute, and the clean Architecture of Doom, there are dozens of blogs that document the style's enormous volumes and its various shades of gray. One interesting blog named Brutalism and Booze involves a meet-up group where a group of people meet at a brutalist building and then discussion ensues at a local pub. While the group is based across the pond in the UK, it does however suggest an appealing idea for a group here in the states. And if color doesn't come to mind when thinking brutalism, this blog if in name alone, fills that void.
The blog Midcentury Mundane much like its brutalism counterparts is focused on bringing attention to the underappreciated or lesser known structures, specifically in this case to regional modernism. Frampton Tolbert, the NYC-based preservationist who created the blog a few years ago states that "the blog started out simply as a way to document these interesting, truly unappreciated buildings that populate much of our daily lives." While some of the buildings have been lost since their posting, Frampton goes on to say that he has had great response from the general public including those whom are not in the architecture or preservation fields and "how great the blog is and how they don't know anything about architecture but know they love these types of buildings."
The Time Tells blog written by Vince Michael, the John H. Bryan Chair in Historic Preservation at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, is one of the longest running weblogs we have come across. Time Tells includes anecdotes on travel, discussions on modern as well as traditional buildings and a dizzying array of house museums around the world. An interesting feature is that the stories can take you from Chicago to China to Peru and back to Chicago again all in one post.
Another well-known blog is Jody Brown's Coffee with an Architect. Jody, who spoke at the recent AIA (renamed on the blog as the American Institute of Awesome) National Convention in Washington DC, writes quite a bit about modernism and postmodernism along with varying critiques on the profession and his own work. His posts including the twelve days of architecture to his CTRL+ANGST+DEL are always full of wit and humor and at times incredibly incisive.
Back across the pond, Manchester Modernists is an elegant site that covers sites at risk, upcoming events and links to their small newspaper called The Modernist. The Manchester Modernist Society that runs the blog calls themselves "a small band of urban enthusiasts, amateurs and latter day dandies, passionate observers of the city and its social cultural and built environment."
The American Synagogue Architecture blog written by Julian Preisler is an excellent resource documenting the building typology throughout the country. Julian who is a professional genealogist and researcher also maintains his own personal website where additional book and photographic resources can be found.
As we continue to bookmark interesting modern architecture (and of course, brutalism) blogs, we hope to continue to run this as a recurring section. Feel free to share your favorite blogs or your own blog with us through email.

(Anal Itching)
Pruritus ani is an intense itching in and around the anus. This can cause you to feel the need to scratch. Anal itching is a common problem that many people experience at some time.
The Anus
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Pruritus ani can be caused by many things, including:
- Infections, such as pinworms, fungus, streptococcal skin infections, or sexually transmitted diseases
- Skin disorders, such as contact dermatitis, or psoriasis
- Hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal fistula, proctitis, or skin tags
- Certain foods, such as caffeinated drinks, alcohol, peanuts, tomatoes
- Too much moisture around rectum
- Certain medications, such as laxatives
- Certain diseases, such as diabetes or liver disease
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Other factors that may increase your chance of pruritis ani include:
- Poor hygeine
- Leaking stool
The irritation in and around your anus can be a temporary condition or it may continue to bother you. Pruritus ani produces itching, soreness, and burning.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will try to determine the cause of your condition.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Ideally, the cause of the problem will be identified and treated. For example, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat a bacterial infection. Treatment for the itching and irritation may include:
- Gently cleanse the area with water when bathing
- Take a sitz bath
- Dry thoroughly
- Use cotton, gauze, or cornstarch to absorb moisture
- Don't scratch
- Use unbleached, unscented toilet paper
- Wear loose cotton clothing and underwear
- Avoid irritants (such as bubble baths, certain foods)
- Over-the-counter or prescription cream or ointment containing hydrocortisone or other corticosteroids to reduce itching and provide protection
- Zinc oxide ointment—to provide protection
- Topical capsaicin—to reduce itching
- Certain medications to treat infection if this is thought to be the cause of your itching
To help reduce your chance of pruritis ani:
- Avoid tight-fitting, synthetic clothing
- Try to keep the area clean and dry
- Use barrier ointments
- Avoid scratching at the area
- Avoid using perfumes, dyes, and any other irritants on the area
- Eat a healthy diet
- Exercise regularly
- Avoid certain medications (such as opioids or laxatives)

BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com December 7, 2012 5:54PM
Updated: January 9, 2013 6:12AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration on Friday chose Integrys Energy Services to serve as the lone supplier of electricity to 2.7 million Chicago customers and projected an initial savings of up to 25 percent.
The mayor chose to replace one monopoly, Commonwealth Edison, with another because Integrys offered the "lowest price margin," the city said, projecting that the average Chicago household would save $25 or "20-to-25 percent" from February through June.
By the time the Integrys contract expires in May, 2015, Chicago households will save $130-to-$150 or eight-to-twelve percent of their current bills.
The agreement will also establish, what the city calls "new standards nationally" by eliminating coal from the fuel mix used by Integrys.
"By buying in bulk, we have secured an agreement that will put money back into the pockets of Chicago families and small businesses while ensuring that our electricity comes from cleaner sources," Emanuel said in press release issued after the close of business on a Friday, when controversial news is traditionally buried.
"I look forward to working with the City Council to approve and implement the agreement on an expedited time frame so we can start delivering savings."
Integrys President Dan Verbanac was quoted as saying, "We're pleased the City has chosen Integrys Energy Services as the exclusive electricity aggregation supplier for Chicago…We look forward to bringing significant savings to our new customers as quickly as possible."
The Chicago-based Integrys was one of eight companies to respond to the city's request for qualifications (RFQ).
In Round One, competitors were required to demonstrate they could meet the city's customer service, clean energy, account management and corporate health requirements. Round Two concluded Friday was based solely on price.
Chicago residents and small business customers will automatically transition to Integrys unless they choose to opt out, either by phone, mail or online. Every eligible customer will receive an opt-out letter from the city and get 14 days to drop out.
Integrys, a publicly traded company with a market valuation of $4.1 billion, owns six regulated utilities that provide natural gas and electric service, including Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas.
Last summer Integrys appeared before the City Council to lobby for Chicago voters to get a chance to decide whether to make their city the nation's largest municipality to buy electricity in bulk.
Testifying in favor of the referendum was former Chicago Bears great and Super Bowl XX MVP Richard Dent, whose company RLD Resources is working in partnership with Integrys Energy Services, one of Commonwealth Edison's chief competitors.
"The type of savings you're looking at is $20 million a month that residential customers can have back at their homes," Dent said at the time.
"If the city would have went out [to bid] on the first of January, you would have been looking at a savings of $30 million-a-month. … This is very time sensitive. … The more time it takes … your voters are losing money that could be in their pockets. …With today's economy, $200 or $300 bucks would be a lot" of savings for individual consumers.
Ron Cardwell, vice president of Integrys Energy Services pegged the savings to Chicago residents at $200 million.
"That money goes right back into communities that folks can use to pay for gas and savings. It's really like an economic stimulus," Cardwell said on that day.
By a 57 percent vote, Chicago approved a Nov. 6 referendum authorizing Emanuel plan to shop for electricity in bulk in hopes of cutting utility bills. The City Council is expected to approve the legislation setting the stage for the switch next week.
The mayor is moving quickly to jump through a fast-closing window to reduce utility bills.
The Citizens Utility Board has estimated that participating residents can save $9-to-$14-a-month until June 1, 2013, when the window of savings is likely to close. That's when Commonwealth Edison's higher-than-market-rate electricity contracts signed with Ameren in 2007 expire, and supply prices are expected to drop.
The plan to chose one supplier for the entire city may not sit well with some members of the City Council.
Last month, aldermen expressed concern about replacing one monopoly with another.
Guidelines proposed by two powerful aldermen—Edward M. Burke (14th) and Pat O'Connor (40th)—had sought to limit any one supplier to 20 percent of the city, guaranteeing Chicago at least five electricity providers.
The model was patterned after the geographic areas established during the early 1980's when Chicago was wired for cable television.
But a substitute ordinance drafted by the mayor's office did not include the 20 percent ceiling.
Still, the city's press release quoted Chicago's most powerful alderman–Finance Chairman Edward M. Burke (14th)– as supporting the single supplier.
"I am grateful that the City has identified a supplier which will enable Chicago residents and small businesses to save money on their electricity bills. During these tough economic times, it is paramount that city leaders do everything possible to achieve savings for consumers," Burke was quoted as saying.
The Integrys contract also includes:
– A requirement that the supplier "beat or match" the price charged by Commonwealth Edison—even after ComEd rates go down after its supply contracts expire.
– "Complete elimination of coal," which now comprises half of the city's energy portfolio and a "full account" of all sources of fuel used to power the city.
-A 24/7 call center with multi-lingual call takers.
-A clause allowing customers to opt out at any time without penalty.
-A requirement that Chicagoans receive identical rates, regardless of their credit histories.
-A provision that "positions energy efficiency and renewable generation as an alternative resource in the supply portfolio to provide sustained local investments that will result in additional savings," according to the city.
Although the change is on a fast-track, it's expected to be a seamless transition. ComEd will still be responsible for delivering electricity, reading meters and responding to power outages. Edison will also continue to send monthly electric bills and receive payments.
Integrys reports having 1.7 million natural gas customers and 500,000 electricity customers. Its other operations are in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.
For the first three quarters of this year, the company has reported $215.6 million in profit on $3 billion in revenue.
