Timepieces and watches have greatly evolved over the years. What were once instruments of function soon became fashion.
Today, watches are viewed as accessories that coordinate with the attire worn. Casio watches, Lucien Piccard watches, and other brand names are known for their style rather than solely performance capabilities.
Clocks, also, are as much functional as a component of interior design. Apart from the conventional wristwatch and wallclock, there are some timepieces today that stand out, with wild and wacky features that will blow your mind.
The ChronArte Quadro wall clock is a visual display of modern art. The 12 columned face begins as a stark white, and colored textile bands travel upward to form a colored face as time passes. At 12:00, when the face is fully colored, the narrow fabric bands revert to their original white, and the pattern begins again. Produced in Switzerland, as many quality watches, such as Lucien Piccard watches are, this clock is one of a kind, and automatically adjusts to daylight savings time.
The Spiral clock appeals to your inner child with a design that looks almost like a labyrinth. The clock rotates as time passes, so the ball travels along the numbers on the face. At 12:00 the ball falls through the hole and begins its journey again. You can tell the time by the position of the ball between the numerals.
Although Diesel watches are usually the kings of futuristic, this watch, designed by Roger Kellenberger, is one of a kind, with no hands or face. A rotating inner ring tells the time based on its alignment to stationary notches on the outer ring. The wearer's skin shows up through the hole where the face would be.
It is evident why this men's watch is called Diesel No Face, or Diesel DZ 9044. Constructed from durable solid stainless steel, this luxury watch has a bold black finish and a black pebbled leather band. It brilliantly hides the face on the side, for a watch that is sleek and stylish, and easy to tell time on.
See the most unusual wrist watches available:
Sean Bay is a timepiece expert who has a love for odd and out there watches. He recommends Dealsaholic for a wide selection of quality Casio watches and watches from many brand names.

If you're buying a live Christmas tree just this year, the following recipe will extend the life of a live tree, according to a firefighter.
Most Christmas trees are expected to live only a couple of weeks after being cut down. But Stow Fire Department Marshall Jim Leidel has a recipe, he says, that extends the life and luster of the fresh firs.
"No fire-proofing technique works 100 percent of the time," said Leidel. But he believes the following recipe can make a living tree stay green longer.
- Two cups of corn syrup
- Two ounces of chlorine bleach
- Two teaspoons of Epsom salt
- One-half teaspoon of Borax
- One teaspoon of chelated iron (Can be found at nurseries, garden centers, and in pill form at pharmacies.)
- Hot water
- Mix all ingredients listed above. Fill a two-gallon bucket with hot water to within one inch of the top and add the ingredients. Stir thoroughly, dissolving ingredients.
- Make a fresh cut at the base on the tree trunk. Cut an inch off the base of the tree.
- Immediately stand the trunk of the tree in the solution and leave for 24 hours.
- Keep the remaining solution. Place your tree in a stand that contains a well for pouring and holding liquids.
- When the tree is in its final location, use a plastic cup to pour solution from the bucket into the tree well. Fill the well.
- Fill the tree stand well with the solution every day.
So, how does this Christmas tree tea work?
"The syrup provides the food necessary to allow the base of the tree to take up water," said Leidel. "As much as 1 ½ gallons of water can be taken up by the tree over a two-week period."
The Boron in the Borax allows the tree to move water and sugar out to every branch and needle on the tree, according to the fire marshall.
Magnesium compounds in the Epsom salt and iron from the chelated-iron provide "essential components for the production of chlorophyll, which keep the tree green."
Bleach prevents mold from forming in the solution, he said, adding the solution should also help reduce needle dropping and will increase the tree's pine fragrance.

Yosemite High traveled to the west side of the valley Sept. 27 to face the mighty Aztecs of Mendota (3-1), the two-time defending CIF D-VI champions, and their record-setting running back Edgar Segura, who ran for 370 yards and seven touchdowns in the Aztecs 65-26 win over the Badgers (1-3).
Segura averaged 14 yards per carry.
The Aztecs pride themselves on their running game. Overall this season, Mendota averages 346 yards rushing per contest. Most of this comes from Segura.
The Badgers hurt themselves early. Coming off a six turnover performance against Roosevelt, YHS fumbled on its second play, giving the ball to Mendota on the Badger 14. Segura took a pitch-out right and went into the end zone for a touchdown. The point after failed but the Aztecs led 6-0.
Segura then scored on a 16-yard TD on Mendota's next possession. The Badger defense saw multiple offensive sets from the Aztecs which kept them off-balance all night.
After stopping Mendota on their third possession, YHS took over at their own 44. With the run ineffective, Yosemite went to the air. After two dropped passes the Badgers faced fourth and 10 when quarterback Joey Woolsey hit wide receiver Donovan Iverson for a 44-yard touchdown. Iverson showed a burst of speed and outraced Aztec defenders. Woolsey targeted Iverson most of the night and the senior receiver responded.
Despite two turnovers, the Badgers were back in it down 12-6 with 1:44 left in the first quarter.
As expected, Mendota responded with Segura. On the Aztec's next possession, the senior burst through the right side and sped 65 yards downfield to the end zone. The two-point conversion failed, but Mendota was up 18-6 at the end of the first quarter. Segura's first quarter stats: 116 yards and three touchdowns.
Mendota would score on each possession in the second quarter with Segura doing most of the damage. He scored two more second quarter touchdowns, including a 29-yard screen pass. The Aztecs blew open a close first quarter by scoring 28 unanswered points in the second. The game was over by halftime with Mendota leading 46-12.
Statistically, Segura is one of the greatest running backs in Central Section history, moving to third all-time in touchdowns scored in the Central Section after Friday's game. If he can score 40 touchdowns this season, he will break the section touchdown mark. He already has 17 in just four games. He is also closing in on the all-time yardage record amassing more than 1,000 yards this season. He is not a power back and only runs a 4.6 in the 40. He is patient, waits for his blocks, has incredible footwork, and a great burst in the open field.
With the game effectively out of reach the Badgers did manage to score some points in the second half. In the third quarter senior fullback Bobby Magee scored on an 8-yard burst up the middle. In the fourth quarter, Woolsey hit senior Cody Elam for a 17-yard TD. On top of the loss, the Badgers lost sophomore impact player Jayson Lee to a shoulder injury. It is undetermined if Lee will play this Friday against Exeter.
|Score by quarters
Rushing: Yosemite: Lee, 2-5, Magee, 16-40, Monahan, 1-20, Woolsey, 2-0. Mendota: Segura, 19-390, Mendoza, 4-65.
Passing: Yosemite: Woolsey, 13-34-2-224. Mendota, trejo, 3-7-59.
Receiving: Yosemite: Iverson, 5-98, Lassos, 1-15, Lee, 3-50, Monahan, 3-42, O"Brien, 1-19. Mendota: Quinteros, 2-35, Segura, 1-29.
The Badger JV team lost 41-21 giving them 1-3 record on the season.
Exeter Friday
The Badgers travel to Exeter to face the powerful Monarchs (3-2).
Exeter of the tough Central Sequoia League is a perennial playoff team and has been for many years. The Monarchs, led by head coach Ben White, blanked the Badgers 55-0.
The Monarchs predominantly run the ball averaging nearly 200 yards per game. Exeter's leading rusher is junior Austin Cardoza who has gained 773 yards rushing and has scored seven touchdowns this season. He is only 5-foot-5 but is very quick and is not afraid to run between the tackles.
Exeter splits quarterback duties between senior Adin Trujillo and junior Javier Brito. Neither is a threat to run but are fairly efficient in the passing game with a combined seven TDs through the air with only two picks between them.
Game times: 5 p.m. JV 7 p.m. varsity.

There was no red carpet or little golden statues, but the second annual New England Travel Readers' Choice Awards announced on March 27, 2013 recognize the region's best and most memorable places and experiences and give the hard-working retailers, beach groomers, chefs, resort staff, event planners and other hospitality and tourism industry professionals behind them the right to swagger throughout 2013. Like all of About.com's Readers' Choice Awards, these honors provided travelers with an opportunity to determine the ultimate winners by nominating and voting for their favorites in a variety of categories. Whether you live in New England or are planning to visit this six-state region, here's your guide to some of the best New England has to offer.
And the Winners Are...
Thousands of votes were cast for the 2013 New England Travel Readers' Choice Awards, and now it's time to reveal the winner in each of the six award categories below.
And the winners are...
And the winners are...
Favorite New England Attraction, Activity or Tour
Once again, this Readers' Choice Award category produced an eclectic line-up of finalists, all worthy of recognition. Voting was vigorous as supporters rallied behind their favorite attracions, and now, it's time to reveal the winner and runners-up.
Best Annual Festival/Event in New England
When you live in New England, it's impossible to be bored. There are simply too many excellent events happening in the region, season after season. The winner in this category is a quirky, up-and-coming festival that sounds so utterly scrumptious, I think I'll have to attend this year.
Favorite New England Family Resort/Hotel
Family-friendly resorts and hotels beckon to New England travelers with their array of recreational amenities, accommodations options and scenic locales. There were family resorts by the sea, in the wilderness and in a pristine rural setting among the five finalists for Readers' Choice honors, but the winner--by a nose--is a mountain lodge.
Best New England Restaurant
What are the ingredients of a memorable meal? Readers had a variety of ideas, and the finalists ranged from casual seafood emporiums to fine dining establishments. Which quintessentially New England restaurant received food lovers' support in intense voting? The Best New England Restaurant winner is a Massachusetts landmark.
Best New England Beach
What makes a beach the best? Clean sand and exhilarating surf--sure! But historic significance, uniqueness and location were factors, too, and the winner is a New England beach that has beckoned to travelers for more than 170 years.
Favorite New England Shopping Destination
Did a national retailer with New England origins claim the title of New England's best place to max out credit cards? Or was a New England-based store or shopping center able to pull off an upset? The votes are in, and a delightfully surprising winner has claimed honors as New England's best retail establishment.

Damn I'm posting alot now.
Are sunflower seeds ok to eat when bulking? There are 8 grams of polyfat per serving ()which is one bag, theres no way I can eat a whole bag in one sitting), 2.5 grams mono, and only 1.5 grams sat. They also 6 grams protein and only 4 grams of carbs. I've always liked them because they keep me busy and make me unable to eat a fatty sandwich or something else I shouldnt be eating, I just wanted to know if they were sabotaging my diet.
Yes sunflower seeds are fine so are pumpkin seeds or walnuts.
I have actually move more toward these "nuts" as the carb/fiber values are better than the peanuts. Especially the walnuts if you are an "active carb" counter,... because there is 3 grams of fiber per 1 ounce. Cool eh?
Dieting is a Sport-Eat to Win!
Miss abs i too have switched to walnuts and some other high fat nuts as well and i love them. Walnuts and pecans have superiour fat compositions (mainly monounsat) even containing some omega 3's, and are a main source of fiber and fat in my diet! I eat at least a cup a day! Sunflower seeds are mainly polyunsatuated but i am not sure of the breakdown. Just make sure to get them raw as the fats will be in their native states. This is probably really important for sunflowers because polyunsat. fats are more easily oxidized.

Breakfast must be awesome.
At 6-foot-2, 280 pounds, Jeremiah Scott isn't just big. The Alcoa Middle School eighth-grader is bigger than any defensive tackle at Maryville College. He's bigger than any defensive lineman on the whole Maryville team.
"He's a monster," Alcoa Middle coach Mike McClurg said. "He's a big kid."
He's not the only one, either.
The Tornadoes will dress five players 6-2 or bigger when they host rival Maryville in a pivotal Smoky Mountain Athletic Conference game on Oct. 13 at Alcoa High School's Goddard Field.
A win puts unbeaten Alcoa (7-0) in the conference championship game against Sevier County on Oct. 22 at Lenoir City High School. If the once-beaten and defending champion Bulldogs (5-1) come away victors, it would force a three-way tie atop the conference with the Tornadoes and Bears. A tie-breaker would then select the championship game participants.
Sevier County suffered its only loss to Alcoa earlier this season. The Bears edged the Bulldogs a week ago in Sevierville.
The Tornado quintet of quarterback Mitchell McClurg (6-foot-2), twin brother and fullback Matthew McClurg (6-3), tight end Ryan Clark (6-4), defensive end Jonathan Decker (6-2) and Scott isn't just tall. Four of the five play for the school's basketball team. Clark and the McClurg twins were teammates on the championship Tennessee Elite AAU club this summer.
It's an athletic group, but that's not why they've got a shot at a school-record nine wins this season, Mike McClurg said.
"They've paid the price," he said. "We've worked out as a team since January. We've been together all summer. They've not just won. They've worked."
The compensation has been forthcoming in impressive fashion this season. Caleb Woody caught a pair of touchdown passes, with Matthew McClurg and Chris Badgett rushing for two each, Mitchell McClurg adding seventh, as Alcoa blew out Sevier County in the opener, 56-20. The score withstanding, the Bears are no creampuff.
Eighth-grader Devonte Matthews, who plays quarterback, running back, receiver and free safety for Sevier County, just may be the most talented athlete in the conference.
"We had (running back Dylan) Shinsky and some talented playmakers at receiver," Maryville coach Jay Malone said. "The year before, we had (Shawn) Prevo and some talented receivers. A Shinsky or a Prevo can change the game for anybody. He (Matthews) is that good. He's what we've been fortunate to have. Devonte will play next year as a freshman for the high school. He's that good."
Convincing wins over Carpenters, Webb and North Middle of Loudon County followed the opener with the Bears for the Tornadoes. Woody returned an interception 40 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the game against Union Grove, sparking another romp. Heritage and Northview Middle of Sevierville have both fallen convincingly in the last two weeks.
McClurg directs a roster 56-strong, and, while his sons and the other tall five get a lot of the attention, there's a lot there.
Newcomer Chris Thackett could be "the best running back I've ever coached," McClurg said, "and he doesn't start. He can turn nothing into something in a hurry."
Mitchell and Matthew McClurg and Dustin Clabough are the team's primary ball carriers. Decker reminds those who've seen him of a young Brandon Warren, who signed with Florida State after a Mr. Football career at Alcoa High.
"He's a big, strong, fast kid," McClurg said, "and he's real coachable."
So is linebacker Nathan McClanahan, who just may be the best hitter on the team.
"We've got a really good little team," McClurg said. "Our kids just don't get their heads down if things go wrong. They just encourage each other and keep playing."
Where the Tornadoes are surging entering next month's showdown, the Bulldogs welcome the approaching fall break to get healthy. Maryville ace Brian Tillery is an explosive back but has been slowed by a hip injury.
"Even his 85 or 90 percent is going to be a little better than some guys 100 percent because his motor is full go," Malone said.
The Bulldogs have a slick field general at the controls in quarterback Zach Cardwell, the team's leading rusher. Tyler Zwolinski has raised his game at running back while Tillery has been slowed, Malone said.
It's Maryville, so the Bulldogs know a thing or two about the passing game. Josh Yoakum and Jacob Blevins are the kind of playmakers at receiver Malone has had the last several seasons. Tight end Evan Porter is not.
Much in keeping with his super-sized Tornado counterparts, the Bulldog eighth-grader is a rare blend of size and mobility. The former Fairview Raider running back isn't limited to tight end, either.
"He lines up at tight end and wide out," Malone said, "and he's scored quite a few touchdowns, catching and running it both. He could play in the backfield. He's the second-fastest guy on the team."
The Bulldogs ran off a school-record 26 wins in a row before last week's loss to the Bears. In its own way, being the team everybody wants to beat is a nice problem to have, Malone said. On the second Thursday in October, however, Maryville gets the chance to play spoiler.
"I feel like going into the Alcoa game we're definitely the underdog," Malone said.
From the size of some of the Tornadoes who'll take the field next month, so would a few high school freshmen teams.

Kim George, a vice principal at who was hired over the summer, was charged with a felony count of domestic violence last year, the Daily Journal reported today.
George, who at the time used her married name, Lemos, eventually pleaded to a misdeanor charge of disturbing the peace in January, the Daily Journal reported. But when she was arrested in August 2010, her husband claimed Lemos had hit him. He later backed away from that statement and refused to testify against her, according to Santa Clara Deputy District Attorney Stephen Lowney, the Daily Journal said.
At the time, Lemos worked for the Morgan Hill Unified School District, according to the Daily Journal.
Her husband also had a cut on his chest and there was a knife in the house, but police couldn't determine how he got the cut, the Daily Journal reported.
The school board only learned of the felony domestic violence charge on Thursday, Trustee Philip Weise told Patch.
"It would have been nice to know, yes," Weise said.
Weise said that the standard background check the district runs on job candidates would have revealed her conviction for disturbing the peace, but it wouldn't have revealed the original felony charges against her. Morgan Hill Unified School District didn't share that information with SSFUSD.
"We were in a place where we had a huge amount of turnover, vacancies and personnel and that sort of thing," Weise said of the
George's job responsibilities include overseeing counseling and special education. El Camino Principal Greg Thompson said he couldn't comment on personnel matters and wouldn't say whether he was involved in interviewing George. However, he was complimentary of her job performance.
"She has done and is doing a wonderful job," Thompson said.

ZF-3408: Zend_Config does not decrease $_count when node is unset()
The count() method, defined by the Countable interface, uses $this->_count, which is set in the constructor of Zend_Config. The problem now is, when you unset a value (done via the magic method __unset()), $this->_count is not decreased by one. So when you count() the Zend_Config object after you unset a node, you get the wrong number.
Thanks for finding this!

Gene Marcial, Contributor
I have an insider's take on Wall Street
Don't the four-week old Occupy Wall Street protesters deserve any attention from our nation's top leaders?
Thus far, only President Obama has made reference in his public speeches to the complaints, disparate as they may seem, of this growing number of discontented people who have launched rallies in at least 19 major cities.
Surely, it's time for the nation's leaders to meet with the Occupy Wall Street protesters and publicly address their grievances. The country's decision makers, most notably those in Congress, can't simply watch idly by and wish them away, as they appear to be doing.
The first thing President Obama could do is urge the protesters to form an advance group composed of their leaders or spokespersons so the White House can arrange for him to publicly address the increasingly restless Occupy Wall Street crowd and respond specifically to their concerns.
One of the major problems that most Americans feel is their utter sense of frustration and helplessness in the face of the mounting oppressive problems that the gasping economy and rudderless leadership in Congress have engendered. So this expanding public outcry shouldn't be surprising at all.
Those who want to minimize the Occupy Wall Street protesters, including New York City Mayor Bloomberg, aren't convinced about what the protest is all about, or its relevance. But their message is clear.
"The message — and the solutions — should be obvious to anyone who has been paying attention since the economy went into a recession that continues to sock the middle class while the rich have recovered and prospered," says The New York Times in an editorial on Sunday Oct. 9, 2011. "The problem is that nobody in Washington has been listening."
At this point, protest is the message, notes The Times: "Income inequality is grinding down that middle class, increasing the ranks of the poor, and threatening to create a permanent underclass of able, willing but jobless people."
Indeed, the huge number of young people enthusiastically participating in the protests reflect this disturbing prospect.
"On one level, the protesters most of them young, are giving voice to a generation of lost opportunity," notes The Times.
One of the loudest message from the protesters is that the nation's top leaders, especially those who have been elected to draft and pass helpful and sensible legislation to advance an economic recovery and provide gainful employment, have not been doing their job.
President Obama has asked Congress to approve his multibillion-dollar jobs bill specifically designed to stimulate the economy and create new jobs. Clearly, Congressional leaders should face up to that question and explain what they intend do with it, or at least come up with an alternative jobs plan.
The weather is getting bad so the occupation will be headed south. . .
Sorry Gene, it's not "obvious" to me what their concerns are.
If I'm a Republican leader I'm going near this mob. That's what they are, a mob.
Let Obama and Reid wade in. They're Obama's base for goodness sake!
Hello michaelsondergard,
The people gathered in Wall Street see that the country's economy is collapsing, that ordinary Americans are suffering, and the government is doing little except help the handful of giant corporations based on Wall Street. The people in the street have a thousand different ideas about what to do or stop doing but the message is clear, the government needs spend as much money and effort to help the average American as Wall Street.
These people don't deserve the time of day. They are malcontents and hove no real constitutional leg to stand on. They are not against policy, they are against wealth. They are all consumers to the nth degree thus empowering their "corporate overlords". They are just wasting everyone's time.
These folks are misguided malcontents who have NO constitutional leg to stand on. Why should government respect or acknowledge anarchy and rabble? These sheep would be lost without the corporations that clothe them, keep them connected, fuel their autos, make their electronics. They are a waste of time.
While jobs may be hard to find and there certainly is much suffering, I don't think protesting "corporations" is going to do any good. It is not as if the whole of corporate America set out guidelines on how to keep people down. But please, can you articulate what exactly is at issue and what the protester's demands are?
While jobs may be hard to find and there certainly is much suffering, I don't think protesting "corporations" is going to do any good. It is not as if the whole of corporate America set out guidelines on how to keep people down. But please, can you articulate what exactly is at issue and what the protester's demands are?
No matter what their concerns are, shouldn't they be EVERY politician's base? They are American citizens no? That is a lot of people to just ignore because they don't have the same beliefs as you….
No one other than the mainstream media and other flakes should pay the slightest attention to OWS and their union allies. Let the hippies and academics wallow in the street and starve and let the unionists return to their bars of choice.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. — Laurel County Sheriff's deputies and detectives have determined the identity of the man wanted in connection of an assault that occurred on Monday, Oct. 14.
Harold Gaines, 29, of Laurel County is wanted for the assault of a London woman who chased him after she spotted a suspicious vehicle in the back of her mother's home.
The assault occurred near Feltner Steer Road at approximately 12:30 p.m. after Gwen Watts, a single mother living on Feltner Steer Road, saw Gaines trying to break into her property.
"I heard something coming from the direction of my mother's driveway," Watts said. "I saw a truck parked up there with a load of scrap metal in the back. When he saw me, he jumped back in his truck and tried to drive off."
In a split second, Watts decided she had to do something and began to pursue the would-be thief. Watts jumped in her car and started to follow him.
During the chase, Watts said the suspect tried several times to run her off the road and would periodically slam on his breaks in an attempt to cause a rear-end collision.
The chase, which Watts recorded on a camera, went on for several miles and ended when the suspect stopped his vehicle, approached Watts' vehicle and began to assault her.
"It (the assault) probably only lasted a minute," Watts said. "I was down on the ground. He ran off before I could get back up or I would have went after him again."
Watts, who was struck several times, was left with a bruised left eye and several scratches.
"I wasn't really thinking about anything except protecting my family and our property," Watts said. "I didn't even take the time to put shoes on, I just jumped in my car and went after him."
Using Watt's pictures of the truck, the man and the license plate tag, local law enforcement were able to identify the suspect. A location was searched near Knox and Whitley counties early Friday afternoon, but Gaines was not found.
Gaines also has outstanding warrants from other unrelated cases. He is considered to be dangerous.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Laurel County Sheriff's Office at 606-864-6600, or 606-878-7000. Callers can remain anonymous.

'Serenity' And The Supreme Court
by Paul Rosenberg, Mon Oct 03, 2005 at 10:36:24 AM EDT
The scene shifts to where the story is being told, a shimmering outdoor "classroom" echoing archetypes of Golden Age Greece, with a beautiful youngish teacher, and her charges, small children, one of whom asks (paraphrase) "Why would they fight against us? Why wouldn't they want to healthy, happier and more civilized?" There's a bit of back and forth, then one girl who's been furiously working her hand-held electronic tablet looks up and says, "We're meddlers. People don't like to meddled with."
Who Are The Real Meddlers?on the flip...
Who Are The Real Meddlers?
For decades now, the reactionaries have relentlessly attacked liberals on that very same ground--that we're meddlers. "Outside agitators" who disturbed the peace and quiet and racial harmony of the South. Pointy-headed bureaucrats who want to tell businessmen how to run their businessess, and gun-owners whether they can buy a gun.
There's a germ of truth in this, of course. The Abolitionists wanted to tell slaveholders what they could and could not do with their slaves--absolutely nothing. Talk about meddling!
But mostly, the "meddling" has been very much in the eye of the beholder. The human rights of millions of slaves, vs. the property rights of a relative handful of large plantation owners. It's been the genius of the reactionaries to convince large numbers of people that the loss of their special privileges means a threat to the personal lives of ordinary people. It's a lie that's had a good, long run.
But the Schiavo fiasco showed quite clearly just who the real meddlers are. Just like the Elian Gonzalez case five years earlier--only moreso--it should how little the reactionaries cared for the sanctity of family bonds, and concept of limited government. The only thing that ever bothered them was the fact that they weren't the ones doing the meddling, in the furtherance of their particular agenda.
What's this got to do with the Supreme Court? Plenty.
Bush's nominee is a total judicial non-entity. A cross between Dick Cheney selecting himself for the job of VP and Michael Brown getting promoted for his connections, without a shred of hands-on experience in the job. By the byzantine rules of masochistic self-flagellation that the Senate Democrats have made up for themselves, there is no way for them to challenge her. They can complain about her lack of a record, her withholding documents, etc., etc., but in the end they have already agreed in advance that they will approve her anyway. Any questions about court rulings can easily be waved away.
Which is why they need to forget about all that. They need to focus on defining narratives. Bush has already presented his narrative in nominating Harriet Miers. It's all the usual plattitudes with no bearing how Miers would judge, and how her decisions would change America. And here's the most defining narrative of all, to bring the distant abstractions of the Supreme Court right into people's living rooms:
Are you a meddler, Ms. Miers? Would you bring Big Brother into the bedrooms, living rooms, and hospital rooms of ordinary Americans, meddling and intruding into the most personal and difficult decisions that American citizens make about their lives and their families?
Or, more specifically, to cut through all the lawyerly gobble-de-gook, and customary evasions, let me put it like this:
You told David Frum that George W. Bush, was the most brilliant man you had ever met. Last March, President Bush flew back from Texas to sign a law passed by Congress, intended to force-feed Terri Schiavo against her husband's wishes, to let her die, as he said she would have wanted to do. Is that an example of Bush's brilliance?
An overwhelming majority of Americans--including a majority of conservatives, thought that this was an act of government meddling, and they opposed interferring in such a difficult personal decision. If George Bush is brilliant, is it your opinion that the American people are stupid? Too stupid to be trusted with the most personal decisions of their own lives?
In short--are you a meddler, Ms. Meirs? And why should we let you be the one to meddle in our private lives?
Please note--none of this has to do with a pending court case. Nor with one that is likely to be heard. The law Bush signed came nowhere near the Supreme Court--and for good reason, it was not serious legislation, it was a piece of grandstanding. So Miers has no excuse for avoiding these questions.
Of course she will try. But the questions are so damning that it really doesn't matter how she answers. Because this is the real problem with the Democrats over the past 30 years: they have been mortally afraid of asking the tough questions, the questions that the Republicans cannot possibly answer.
Those are the questions that need to be asked. First, foremost, and always.

Installing Fonts on KDE
A well chosen font is the perfect addition to your
Linux experience. KDE provides a number of tools
that help you cook up a really tasty alphabet soup
with very little effort.
Gone are the days when you
needed a degree in computer
science to install new fonts in
Linux. In fact, installing fonts in Linux
became child's play when KDE went to
version 3.
To install fonts in KDE, simply pop up
a Konqueror window by pressing
[Alt]+[F2] and typing konqueror, then
type the fonts:/ URL in the location box.
Now copy the fonts from any folder to
your Personal directory to make them
available to programs (see Figure 1).
There is no need to relaunch the GUI or
KDE. As an alternative, you can right
click and use the context menu to save
launching a second Konqueror window.

DISA says move to IPv6 will be no problem
Thursday - 2/24/2011, 9:40am EST
The Defense Information Systems Agency is saying *no problem* with moving to IPv6. That's because the agency switched to networking equipment three years ago that can handle both IPv4 and IPv6. Bruce Bennett is program executive officer for communications at DISA. He tells NextGov, DISA also recycles its IPv4 addresses, so it's unlikely to run out. The last of the IPv4 addresses were released last month, and the government is supposed to eventually convert to IPv6. There is no practical limit to addresses available under the newer protocol.
This story is part of Federal News Radio's daily DoD Report. For more defense news, click here.
Each host or computer on the Internet requires an Internet Protocol address in order to communicate. The growth of the Internet has created a need for more addresses than are possible with the current system, IPv4. Federal News Radio follows the government's implementation of IPv6.

McDonald's in Japan has rolled out Tofu Shinjo McNuggets, similar to the Chicken McNuggets here in the U.S. except they are made from a mishmash of minced white fish, tofu and vegetables. Take a look at other interesting McDonald's dishes around the world, compiled by CNN.
Tofu Shinjo McNuggets
Japan's Tofu Shinjo McNuggets are made from a mishmash of minced white fish, tofu and vegetables including edamame, soy beans and carrots.
Who needs fries when you can have cold tomato soup, or gazpacho, which is a specialty at McDonald's in Spain.
McAloo Tikki Sandwich
The McAloo Tikki sandwich at McDonald's India appeals to the country's large vegetarian population with a potato and peas patty, onions and tomatoes, and special spices.
Turkish Breakfast Plate
This breakfast plate served at McDonald's Turkey consists of eggs, tomatoes, feta cheese, cucumbers, berries, toast, and honey. You might almost forget you're at a fast food chain.
Le Croque McDo
You might call it a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, but on the menu at McDonald's France, it's a Le Croque McDo.
McLobster Roll
This McLobster roll adds a touch of class to the McDonald's menu in Canada -- a summer specialty.
Empanadas are a staple snack in Chile, where they are a popular item on the McDonald's menu. These empanadas contain only cheese.
Twisty Pasta with Sausage and Egg
McDonald's Hong Kong serves twisty pasta with sausage and egg. And you can have it only for breakfast.
Corn Soup
This corn soup is a specialty at McDonald's Taiwan. McDonald's in Hong Kong, Sinapore, and other Asian countries also sell cups of plain corn, if corn soup is too exciting for you.
McArabia Sandwich
This ground beef sandwich with onions, cumin, and coriander is marketed as the McArabia sandwich in Morocco. According to McDonald's Morocco, it contains "a thousand and one flavors" that "wake up our taste buds."
Molletes, a traditional Spanish and Mexican snack, are offered for breakfast at McDonald's Mexico.
Facebook has ticked off its users again, this time with the announcement that mobile users who want to message friends will have to download its Messenger app in addition to the core Facebook app. There have been a lot of changes to the world's largest social network in recent years. Here are some of the most annoying:
The News Feed -- Facebook unveiled the News Feed in 2006 as a way to view the activities of your friends. Many users wanted out, although Facebook pacified them with new privacy features to control what is displayed.
The New Facebook -- In late 2008, Facebook permanently moved users to a complete layout redesign it called "Facebook 3.0." Several groups formed to protest the decision.
Public Friends Lists -- As part of the much-maligned privacy changes in 2009, Facebook made the friends lists of all users public, sparking such an outcry that the site quickly reinstated the option to keep the lists private.
Terms Of Use Changes -- In February 2009, Facebook made unannounced changes to its terms of use giving it the rights to a user's content even after it's been deleted. Outrage ensued, and Facebook soon returned to its original terms of use.
News Feed Redesign -- In October 2009, Facebook revamped the News Feed to include more of your friends' activities. But users couldn't select what they saw, and many didn't like the amount of information coming at them.
News Ticker -- As part of sweeping changes rolled out in September 2011, a real-time news ticker was added to the right side of the homepage, letting you know what your friends were posting and commenting on as it happened. Some thought it too busy, and you now have the option to hide the ticker.
Top Stories vs. Recent Stories -- More changes to the News Feed introduced a focus on "top stories" rather than recent items. Users who don't visit much will only see top stories, while frequent visitors get the option to expand to recent posts.
Subscribe Button -- This feature allows users to subscribe to other users' news feeds without friending them, much like Twitter. Some users didn't like the idea of people they didn't know following them.
Timeline -- Perhaps one of the most controversial changes to date is Facebook's Timeline, a profile page change initially rolled out as an option but that has now become mandatory.
Facebook.com Email -- Facebook has offered its own email address for a while now, but users were irked in June 2012 when the site replaced the email addresses they chose to list on their profile page with the facebook.com address.
Video Ads - In December 2013, Facebook rolled out a feature that will allow advertisers to play videos in users' news feeds. The feature offers companies a new way to promote movies and products on smartphones and computers, and is being tested with a small group of Facebook users.
Nearby Friends -- In April 2014, Facebook introduced a mobile feature called Nearby Friends that taps into that steady stream of location information so friends can track each other in real time. Although it's not turned on by default, some users aren't thrilled by the idea. It's also raising hackles with some privacy advocates.
"Ask" Feature -- In May 2014, Facebook unveiled its new "Ask" feature, which lets your friends inquire about your relationship status if none is listed. Needless to say, it drew some eye rolls from many social media users -- particularly the single ones.
Slingshot -- In June 2014, Facebook launched a Snapchat-like mobile app that lets users trade ephemeral photo- and video-based messages that disappear after a few seconds. But what's unique (and annoying) about Slingshot is that you can't view an incoming message until you respond with a photo or video of your own, meaning there can be no passive users.
Messenger App -- In July 2014, Facebook announced that mobile users who want to message friends will have to download its Messenger app, eliminating the ability to send messages through its core Facebook app and forcing users to download another app.
Money magazine has released its rating of the four-year colleges that offer the most for the tuition paid. Schools were ranked on 17 factors in three categories: educational quality, affordability, and alumni earnings. Take a look at the colleges that give you the best bang for your buck.

BY PHIL POWER, Columnist
---- —
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare Is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned.
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness; prepare ye the way of The Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
These are the opening lines of "The Messiah," an oratorio written by George Frideric Handel in 1741 and one of the best known and most frequently performed choral works in the Western world.
Over the years, I've attended lots of performances of "The Messiah," which to me is the constant sign and symbol of Christmastime.
Many of my most vivid memories are bound up in those majestic words and magnificent music.
Fifty-eight years ago, when I was a junior at the University of Michigan, "The Messiah" was my first date with the young woman who became my first real girlfriend. It was snowing.
She wore a beautiful green sheath. The snow flakes became settled crystal on her long dark hair as we walked back to her dorm, humming the music and holding hands.
My first job out of college was sports editor at the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, in Alaska.
Winter in Fairbanks is not easy. As I remember, it was minus 40 most of the time, and the ice fog mostly blotted out the sun for the few minutes of the day when it managed to make it over the surrounding hills. I was lonely and suffering from the winter blues. So I approached the Fairbanks Community Chorus, hoping to meet some nice people. Because there were no auditions, I got in.
Of course, there was nobody in town capable of singing the solo parts, but we plugged ahead with a pickup orchestra and sang the choruses from "The Messiah" on stage at the local high school.
The hall was packed, and afterward we all happily adjourned to the bar for a mid-winter snort.
Just singing the familiar words and hearing the thunder of the resolving chords made me feel better about being alone and so far away from home.
Last Saturday, I had an equally powerful and moving experience with Too Hot to Handel, a jazz gospel version of "The Messiah."
The performance, put on just once a year by the Rackham Symphony Choir and the Detroit Opera House, blew me out of my seat.
The oratorio opens with a very traditional pastoral overture. After 20 bars or so, tenor Roderick Dixon gets up and belts out "Comfort, comfort ye my people" as a full throttle jazz line, while the orchestra swings into jam mode and the audience claps the back beat. And it gets better and better after that.
Who would have imagined Dixon scat-singing during arias from "The Messiah" and making it feel just right and proper expression of transcendent emotion?
When alto Karen Richardson, whose voice is surely a gift from God, soared into, "O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain. O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, behold your God!" I felt lifted up into the mountains — and as if I were beholding for the first time ever the God of Biblical Israel.
Soprano Alfreda Burke's voice has been called "voluptuous, creamy and luxuriant" by the Chicago Tribune, but she was both tender and exciting when she set the scene: "There were shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night."
The Concordia Orchestra of New York commissioned "Too Hot to Handel" in 1993, from arrangers Bob Christianson and Gary Anderson. They succeeded in capturing the core of "The Messiah," but reinterpreted with the chords of rhythm and blues, jazz and gospel.
This was no tight-lipped bunch of blue-hairs last Saturday night; they were rocking and stomping in their seats, more than a few jumping up and dancing.
The Rackham Symphony Choir, spiffy in their black tuxes and bright red ties and black dresses with red Poinsettias on the shoulders, swayed and moved, succeeding in doing what few big choirs ever do: They swung, they shouted, they exalted.
The combination of the majestic words from the King James Bible, Handel's music, by turns thundering and delicate, and the powerful beat of jazz masters, pianist Alvin Waddles and bassist Marion Hayden, moved me with joy, wonder, tears, memory, delight.
For those who have never experienced it, "Too Hot to Handel" is a terrific way to start the holiday season.
Mark your calendars to find out when it is for next season. It simply should not be missed.
For unto us a child is born, undo us a son is given, and the government Shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
