Kathleen Parker Invites More Hate Mail
Conservative columnist didn't win any friends among the right-wing die-hards in the Republican Party when she penned a column in September calling on Sarah Palin to drop out of the campaign in order to stop the damage she was doing to John McCain's campaign and the GOP. Needless to say, her message did not go over well and the right-wing backlash ended up becoming a story in itself.
So it is probably safe to assume that her latest column is probably not going to win back any friends among those who see the Religious Right as the foundation of the Republican Party and Sarah Palin as its future:
As Republicans sort out the reasons for their defeat, they likely will overlook or dismiss the gorilla in the pulpit.
Three little letters, great big problem: G-O-D.
I'm bathing in holy water as I type.
To be more specific, the evangelical, right-wing, oogedy-boogedy branch of the GOP is what ails the erstwhile conservative party and will continue to afflict and marginalize its constituents if reckoning doesn't soon cometh.
Simply put: Armband religion is killing the Republican Party. And, the truth -- as long as we're setting ourselves free -- is that if one were to eavesdrop on private conversations among the party intelligentsia, one would hear precisely that.
The choir has become absurdly off-key, and many Republicans know it.
But they need those votes!
So it has been for the Grand Old Party since the 1980s or so, as it has become increasingly beholden to an element that used to be relegated to wooden crates on street corners ...
Which is to say, the GOP has surrendered its high ground to its lowest brows.
For its part, the "oogedy-boogedy branch of the GOP" has no intention of letting the so-called moderates in the party throw them overboard. Nor, as I've said before, does the GOP have any incentive to actually do so – at least not until the party can nominate a presidential candidate who openly eschews the Religious Right and still wins the election or the Right gets a dream nominee who makes the right-wing agenda the centerpiece of their campaign and then gets utterly destroyed at the polls. Until then, the Religious Right and the moderates in the Republican Party are going to be stuck with each other whether they like it or not.

A 17-year-old boy has been charged with four counts of sexual assault and four counts of incest after his niece said he raped her on numerous occasions during a two-year-period.
According to a Wauwatosa Police Department report:
The boy, who was charged as an adult, was arrested May at his father's home in May 11in Cook County, Ill., for allegedly forcing himself on his 11-year-old niece while he lived in her Wauwatosa home from December 2008 to August 2010. A second niece, this one 10-year-old, said she was raped by him while visiting Wauwatosa and at her Illinois home.
The girl said the violence started after her grandmother died and the family was gathered at her home. Her uncle was supposed to entertain the children and he allegedly told her and her cousins to take turns hiding under a blanket with him. She recounted times afterward when parents weren't home that he would corner her and expose himself, touch her sexually or force her to have sex. She recalled specific incidents such as the day before her birthday, when he called the rape his present to her.
She estimated that she was assaulted nearly every day of 2010 until he was sent to live with his father.
She was 9 when the rapes started and said her uncle repeatedly told her that no one believe her if she told. Later, he threatened to kill her - punching her in the chest - and the rest of the family if she spoke of the incidents.
After her grades dropped and she became depressed, the girl eventually told a friend, who convinced her to tell Wauwatosa school officials. She has had a medical exam that shows she had contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
Her mother and aunt said they didn't know of any sexual activity, but they said their brother had been violent with other family members and the accusations seemed to fit with the girl's behavior. She had taken to locking her door at night, and more than one time they found the boy pounded on her wall trying to get her to let him in, they said.
The boy allegedly told police he was high on marijuana during the first rape and stole and drank alcohol before a subsequent assault. He didn't believe the sex was rape because the girls had not said 'no.' He said he had stopped having sex with his nieces because he has a girlfriend and she's pregnant.
He is in Milwaukee County Jail awaiting a hearing Thursday.

Muncie, IN
Sherlock Holmes producer Lionel Wigram has landed the film rights to RASL, the sci-fi noir comic by Bone creator Jeff Smith, Deadline reports. The adaptation is envisioned as a franchise for Warner Bros.
Debuting in 2008, the series follows an ex-military scientist turned art thief who jumps through space and time, searching for his next big score while trying to escape his past. But he soon faces an assassin's bullet and stumbles onto a mystery that not only threatens to expose his own illegal activities but could also uncover one of the world's most dangerous and sought-after secrets.
The Warner Bros.-based Wigram tells Deadline he bought the rights to RASL after it was brought to his attention by Peter Eskelsen, vice president of Wigram Productions. Wigram and Smith will produce the adaptation, with Eskelsen executive producing.
now if only we can get a Bone animated series
I think RASL is a great series. I'll be interested to see what they do with it, though I wish the comic book would come out more frequently.
I'd like to see the end of the comic before this finishes up.
Also, BONE MOVIE OR TV SERIES PLEASE
love the book, cant really see it translating to the screen. Because it focuses so heavily on Tesla, I think everyone will call it a knock off of the illusionist.
I Met Mr. Smith at the 2010 OAEA (Ohio Art Educators Association) conference, and he said that a Bone CG animated movie is in the animation phase.
If I had a vote, I'd cast Michael C. Hall as Robert/RASL.
I'd say a property like this is roughly 40% less likely to be cruelly butchered by Hollywood than Bone.
i think you mean the prestige. although i can't really remember the illusionist but i know tesla featured in the prestige, played by david bowie.
I never read this comic, but it sounds very interesting.
Charlie Hunnam please.

Dear Isadora.
By Shanana 17 Comments
Dear Ms. Isadora Lebeau
You don't know who I am; though I've held you in my arms, once maybe twice. We've met on one inglorious occasion, but who I am to you; and you me is no secret. I am your mother; and if you are ever given the chance to read this epistle, then you should be well aware of my demise.
Isadora I loved you more than you can ever imagine; as my first and only child, I exercised some extreme methods to keep you safe; but fate has found you. The life your father and I lived has befallen upon you, and even though we are not here to provide the guidance you need; understand that the greatest tool you have empowering you; is your mind.
You are not some ordinary woman to be taken advantage of, you are a knightfall; you WILL carry yourself with the grace and poise of Ellie. You are not some novice in the field of combat; you are a Liafador and will carry yourself with the ruthlessness of Zeon.
I respect what you have done with your life up to this point mija, if you choose to be with Charlemagne, then be with Charlemagne; but do no assist him because He commands it; assist him on your own free will.
I implore you to take the challenge I took; be a mother in a world that wants you dead. Remain vibrant in a room full of scavengers, be a Dinosaur on an Earth full of ants. The greatest of these challenges will be to be the little girl, your father and I hoped you'd grow up to be; strong and influential in a way that you saw fit.
Mercy is your voice of wisdom, no matter what you do; she shall be your spine; protect your spine; because it is your support.I hope to be reunited with you many years from now; until then I will watch your adventures and accolades from a far. I love you so much.
Love, Mommy.

I am certain that there is more to print sharpness/detail than the number of dpi. If you really want to establish good lower bounds based on empiry, you probably dont want to use a general purpose image processing pipeline that includes god knows how many image scalings, an unknown dithering pattern, and unknown ink splatter characteristics. Not that scaling in a non-linear color/intensity representation (such as sRGB) actually gives some (usually small) errors compared to moving the image closer/further away from the viewer.
I think that image perception research have suggested that 1 minute of arc is a good rule of thumb for a normal-good pair of eyes. I presume this is for relatively high-contrast black/white transitions perfectly smoothly/sharp printed on paper. This could be compared to actual prints at a certain size/distance/resolution, and if they are in the same ballpark, I would be satisfied.
Sure. But when do you stop? Is it worthwhile to have an image that prints 1x1 meter, where you can step closer until you reach the close-focus limit of your eyesight and still see no resolution limitations?
"Megapixels" is a horrible concept. But I do believe that Bayer sensors behave very good for the kind of scenes that photographers tend to shoot, and for viewers that are human. Certainly a lot better than what a simplistic analysis of the red/green/blur sensels would suggest.
Does it have to be either or? I think that doing both and relating them to each other is a good approach.
Oversampling is a method where you can replace a complex analog filter with a (equally complex but simpler to design) digital filter. Or you might see it (with dithering) as a method to provide many levels at lower sample-rates, when the physical technology is better suited for fewer levels and higher sample-rates.Scaling your typical over-sampled image is not that hard. Scaling an image that has been excessively over-sharpened/aliased through non-Nyquistian sampling is harder.
Many image processing algorithms and printer drivers seems to use very naiive image scaling algorithms. Perhaps because most of their customers dont care that much.
So do you want blurry pixels that are a good approximation to the continous waveform, or sharp (aliased) pixels that have the "right value, but the wrong location"? I think that actually photography lags behind in this discussion, designers of computer fonts seems to be a lot more conscious of the trade-offs, perhaps because theoir "product" consists of 8x8 pixel "images" where one really can afford to obsess over single-pixel details.http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/06/12.html
This is a good point. To me, from a naive point of view this supports the argument that resolution increases beyond what the eye is normally capable of seeing could end up producing perceptible improvements to the final image.
Is this for what the eyes can "resolve", or the point at which they can no longer tell the difference between higher resolutions? I could imagine these could be pretty different. [Also, a side comment on "normal eyes", following up on what someone brought up in a different thread: my vision is terrible, but with glasses it corrects to about 20/15. I guess this is a noticeable difference from 20/20]
No, obviously not. But I'm just pointing out that one should include some leeway for the presumed viewing distance.
It just bothers me when people present a theoretical analysis as if it should close all further discussion.
Can you explain the last sentence? I'm not familiar with the terminology.
I think that's exactly why font designers obsess over it (that plus the obviously related point that their individual pixels are a whole lot more visible than those in a photographic print). I agree that these things ought to be considered more seriously (at least, assuming they haven't been; I don't claim to know what people have and haven't thought about), but with the obvious caveat that what makes sense for fonts is probably not what will make sense for photography, given the very different circumstances.
Perhaps. I would rather have reasonably firm limits on what we are capable of, and what the limitations of our tools are.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_of_arc#Human_vision"In humans, 20/20 vision is the ability to resolve a spatial pattern separated by a visual angle of one minute of arc. A 20/20 letter subtends 5 minutes of arc total.For raster graphics, Apple Inc asserts that a display of approximately 300 ppi at a distance of 12 inches (305 mm) from one's eye, or 57 arcseconds per pixel[9] is the maximum amount of detail that the human retina can perceive.[10] Raymond Soneira, president of DisplayMate Technologies, however, stated that the resolution of the human retina is higher than claimed by Apple, working out to 477 ppi at 12 inches (305 mm) or 36 arcseconds per pixel."
Sorry. Read "cameras lacking OLPF/AA", or "printer (drivers) using bilinear interpolation".
Circumstances may be different, but out vision is not. Therefore I think we might learn something from them.
OK, so if I understand correctly this is pointing to precisely the issue I brought up -- there's potentially a substantial difference between where the eye can no longer distinguish individual pixels, and where it can no longer perceive the presence of additional resolution. Again, it would be nice if these things were clearly stating whether they were testing the eye's ability to resolve a given resolution, or the eye's ability to perceive the difference in resolution. (The latter would be a much simpler test: show a bunch of people images at two different resolutions, ask them to pick the one that looks smoother, and see where the accuracy drops to 50/50).
I'd like to understand better what you mean by "non-Nyquistian sampling". Is it a question of sampling at less than double the frequency of the original data? Or I suppose in your context, not the original data, but the post-filter data. I don't understand the relevance of printer drivers to sampling.
It could be worthwhile, certainly. All I meant was that the typical font is viewed at a much lower resolution than the typical photo (and is obviously composed quite differently), so the aspects of human vision most relevant to the font designers could be quite different from those most relevant to photographers.
http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/whp/whp-pdf-files/WHP092.pdf"Tests of visual acuity to determine the resolution required of a television transmission systemThe most important result is that, when using the sharp-cut Rec. 601 filter, the average visible limit of edge rise-time lies in the range 0.997 to 1.111 minutes of arc, with a confidence of 95%. Interestingly, the generally accepted figure for visual acuity is approximately 1 minute of arc."They used HD crt-screens at a sufficiently large distance where individual pixels cannot be seen, then experimented with different filters in still-images to see what kind of resolution-loss was indistinguishable from a side-by-side high-resolution reference.Relevant to our stuff is that they find that sharpening can (to some degree) compensate for real resolution.
If your data contains a bandwidth >= fs/2, then you need to reduce that bandwidth in order to do a sampling according to Nyquist. In text-books this is carried out with a perfect sinc brickwall lowpass filter. If you dont do this, you will have aliasing.
A valid point. But if we are exploring the limits of how close viewers may possibly get to the large print to investigate detail, may we not get into similar projected pixel angles?
All I meant was that the typical font is viewed at a much lower resolution than the typical photo (and is obviously composed quite differently), so the aspects of human vision most relevant to the font designers could be quite different from those most relevant to photographers.Brian
Actually the typical font is viewed in a much higher resolution than the typical photo, unless of course you haven't picked up a magazine lately, or watched printed material because the internet is the viewport of preference, and printed material is sooo last century
There is one aspect in all of the discussions about sharpness, resolution, and aliasing, that I miss. I haven't been able to quit find the right words to explain, so my apologies in advance if this seems somewhat Ray-esque:There is a certain aspect in our perception of images that goes beyond the conscious perception. Those qualities of the reproduction namely that give an image a certain comfortable viewing experience. "Easy on the eyes" so to speak. Compare for example an overprocessed, over-sharpened image, versus a slightly blurry image. Even though the former may have all the measurable characteristics of more apparent sharpness or even real sharpness, the blurry image may still be more pleasing to look at.
The softness of the letters should be visible during reading. While the softness can be easily ignored, for some reason reading such a text is far more tiresome than reading sharp text. Which brings me to the example of text on screen 2007 Windows style or Mac style: there may be advantages to not using anti-aliasing to increase apparent micro-contrast useful for reading, but there is also a certain advantage in aligning all horizontals or verticals when appropriate, even at the expense of sharpness, because our eyes/brain will be more comfortable reading/scanning such lines. The question then becomes: How relevant are these trade-offs under certain conditions, specifically for imaging?Architectural images versus Landscapes?
This is absolutely right, but I think that the sharper image could also be more pleasant to look at, depending on the particulars of the image. This is the sort of thing I could imagine being at play when people claim to prefer a MF image in a small print as compared to a lower-resolution print. But again, it would be nice to have some blind comparisons to back this up.

Mljet National Park Things to Do
picturesque village established by...
A picturesque little village of Goveđari rises on a slopes upon a fertile field in National Park - it is the first settlement that had been allowed to be built in Western Mljet by Benedictines and its history only begins in 18th century. It was a period of time when Benedicitnes already had harder time finding people for hard labour on their...more
small bridge and beach
One way or other you'll eventually notice the Small bridge which is between Big and Small lake, upon a channel that delivers water in and out of the small lake. It is made of stone and there's public beach next to it with some kiosks, too... I have a feeling this is little overrated 'attraction', and you don't miss anything if you simply don't go...more

Why market feel? Because main street is like many Croatian coastal towns where one part of the place sells 'usual' merchandise for tourists - t shirts, souvenirs, towels, swimming suits and shoes, postcards and more sophisticated stuff (locally produced soaps and oils nicely packed), etc... yet, Pomena is small village so the main street is as well...more

St. Mary church
The church of St. Mary is inseparable entity with the monastery and shares the history – the two cannot be divided from each other as they stem from the same source, the Benedictine order. Built together with monastery in 12. century in Romanesque style, yet the form reminded on Byzantine buildings of that period. In following centuries it got...more
Benedictine monastery of St. Mary
The history of Benedictines on Mljet begins when they got donated the entire island in 1151 by knez (kind of 'duke') Desa. These Benedictines settling now in Mljet were originally from Pulsano in Italy, from abbey of St. Mary – and on island they were to build the sacral building in name of their benefactor knez Desa and they were to use the land...more
Otok Sv. Marije - St. Mary island
It is also almost impossible to miss the boat trip to St. Mary island, a tiny island in the Big salt lake: it is like the symbol of Mljet: this place has been long time visited by modern pilgrims - artists, architects, nature and culture lovers, romantics.Benedictines who established monastery couldn't find better location and the architecures melt...more
A small fishing village Soline
You have reached that tiny village of Soline on shores of Soline gulf further from the Big lake if you walked (or cycled) 3 kilometers from Pristaniste and it could be by now time to have nice local snack or dinner in one of a few 'konobas' here - an excellent choice to enjoy home made dish of more or less local ingredient.A few houses there are in...more
Veliko slano jezero - big lake
Well, you see... there are so many shades of blue in those lakes that you simply cannot feed your eyes enough with it. And when it comes combined with vegetation and rocks and sounds and air... it is just like in 'heaven'. So, I believe you won't miss walking by the big lake shores and that for sure you'll take a boat ride to Sveta Marija (St....more
Malo slano jezero - small lake
Smallest of the two lakes is Malo slano jezero - it is 24 hectare area with max. depth 29 meters and has rich fauna, which includes some of the quite unique and rare species. Among the waters on and around Mljet this one is the warmest. It gets fresh sea water from big lake by the mouth by the small stone bridge and since its mouth are rather small...more
walking on the lake shores
I believe walking is the best way to explore shores of the big and small salt lake (Malo and Veliko slano jezero) - and it will get you anywhere and (not-so) straight to the places for quiet swimming, contemplation, reading, sunbathing... while on the other hand enjoying the most beautiful scenes of Mljet landscapes. A pleasure for lungs and eyes...more

traditional salted sardines
We got hungry when we ended in Soline after many hours spent in shadow - and water of course - of the big lake and walking slowly though wonderful forest. It was time to sit down and Soline is very quiet village with a few houses, with very a few small and family run restaurants (better called 'konoba' which is local, Croatian word). Here you won't...more
bbq on the kerb
i cant recall the name of the place but as you leave the pier in polace you turn left and a few hundred metres up the road there is a big bbq on one side of the road and the restaurant on the other. the service was great, the food was excellent and the pricing was a nice change from restaurants on hvar, korcula or dubrovnik. friends ordered the...more
Mljet National Park Transportation
to get to Mljet NP from mainland
1. If you drive a car it is the easiest way to get to Mljet and National Park from mainland:take ferry from Peljesac (Prapratno is the name of place where you'll embark). You'll disembark in Sobra, a village in middle Mljet. From there is some 25 km to Polace where you can buy your park ticket.Ferry is run by Jadrolinija and all information...more
getting to and around the park
The ticket you purchase includes two bus rides to the national park and one ride with a small boat driving you to and from little monastery inside the national park.There are a lot of stands selling the tickets for the Park all around the island so you shouldn't have problems finding them anywhere. There's one in Sobra ferry port, but if you miss...more
Mini Brums hire
Mini Brums can be hired in Sobra, Polace and Pomena. Several are painted as animals including a zebra and a furry mouse with whiskers! They were great fun to drive.more
Mljet National Park Local Customs
lots of messages on the papers
It's a little behind the monastery on St. Mary island, a few minutes walk by the evergreens shaded path and you will reach tiny chapel dedicated to St. Benedikt and his sister Skolastika built in 14th centuy. S simple building it is, all of stone and next to ancient Govedjari graveyard site with a few graves. A modest construction of small dimensions is inseparable with its immediate environment, like all good examples of architecture.
A look inside - it feels bit like a little cave and light from tiny window opens the view towards the water and hills behind it, just plain walls ... and the front side, where you'd pray (or they, other visitors did if you wouldn't) a pannel with thousands of messages wishing this or the other, most often wishes and prayers for someone whom they loved and she won't be around any more, wishes to get better, healthier, to keep the love in the family, etc. Very intimate messages they are, just written down by hand on a tiny little papers, left to spirits, protectors, gods or god with hope. And it takes a little to persuade and in thoughts if not by written word you'd make a wish, yourself. So... that's how things work in this world(s) beyond...Related to:

Mljet National Park Warnings and Dangers
populated by giant jellyfish
Okay, not really a danger to be honest, just a warning about jellyfishes: they are few kinds in the lakes, some as large as half meter and endemic (Aurellia). Aurellia is 26 mio yers old species and discovered recently! Amazing. You can see how they look here:
Realistically, you can get in touch with a jellyfish kind - we saw lonely ones and groups of them in waters of small lake, and of which I sadly forgot the name (on photo). They were really many.
But: they aren't dangerous (scientists say none of Mljet jellyfishes are), they are in fact hybernating, only floating in water in a daytime and come to action by night. If you touch them they won't burn or anything, they don't even move their arms. So, don't worry. I heard some people actually like to play with them.Related to:

Mljet National Park Off The Beaten Path
Spilja, the cave near Soline
There is a small cave off the path from Pristaniste to Soline (and its close to Soline), the sign saying Spilja (which means cave in Croatian) will point you into right direction. It's a few minutes walk on a unpaved path, under trees and among bushes - and they you will finally get close to it... well, it's not the grandest and most impressive...more
small cemetry by Pristaniste
One cemetery in National park we did visited at least - it was near parking place in Pristaniste, hidden behind the bushes and trees, only a small sign pointed us in right direction.A modest chapel of stone there was - it looked of no significant importance and beside its doors were tightly shut. A little I sat down by the edge, thought of...more
excellent views above... from V. Gradac
Taking a walk to the hills above the lakes is something special: for your eyes many views over the landscape will open, every time from a little different perspective as you keep ascending, sights most breath taking.

Mljet National Park Sports & Outdoors
and also excellent for cycling
Another next thing you will absolutely enjoy doing is cycling - and since you're not allowed to enter lake areas by car or motorbike unless you're guest somewhere within its vicinity, it is great way to cover the distances. If you like doing it faster than walking, of course. Those paved roads only allow to take mini buses from NP office (beside...more
great for quiet water sports
Yes - Mljet National park is to do quiet water sports: swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and canoeing. You will be able to rent boats by the entry to NP by parking place or your guesthouse staff will be able to help you with it.In the lakes area you're only alowed to do these sports, no motorized ones (which is a great thing). You are not allowed to...more
One of the options to get to the monestary island or if you just want some recreation, you can rent a kayak. Big & Small lake are very suitable for this sport as the water is very calm. It's also an alternative to the walking around the lake.There are few points where you can get a kayak. One is at channel between Small & Big lake.more

Malo jezero (Small lake)
After some time the monk noticed that water level gets sometimes higer due to a higher tide and that it could flood the monastery. So a smart guy among the monks calculated that if they dig another channel on the other side of the lake the water will flow into another lake. So they did and succesfully solved this tide problem. So, now by the high...more
Veliko jezero (Great lake)
Big lake is an artificially created lake. In the past the monks from the monastery ruled the island and people had to pay big taxes. People revolted and to protect themselves, monks digged a channel on the eastern part of the valley and let the sea water flood the area. So, the water in the lake is actally salty. As the monastery was built on a...more

Released: Aug 01st, 2004
Running Time: 64
Director: Nina Hartley
Company: Bizarre Video
Cast: Ernest Greene, Blaze (I), Venus (I), Frank Fortuna, Nina Hartley, Nicole Sheridan, Amber Michaels, Lezley Zen, Darling
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
Nina Hartley's fetish converts will want a copy.
Two of the four scenes contain definitive BDSM moments. The rest of this mixed bag misses the mark by a gaping margin. Nina Hartley and Ernest Greene deal out a mix of loving kisses, chokeholds, caresses and ass paddling upon Amber Michaels. Their scene has a nice flourish of lesbian eroticism and is the vid's standout.
The other scenes retain a carefree air, suggesting Hartley is winging it. But a firm tension is needed to make things work as a whole, and there is none. Nicole Sheridan's convincing turn as a stern Mistress and the book-balancing excursion keep things afloat. Some innovation, but not enough erotic anxiety.

You could go to Theme Options sub menu under Appearance menu and select
content layout to be 'show full content' mode and save it. Now, if you put <!--more--> tag in the post you will see your [Read more] link.
But this is the 'show full content' mode so, you will see the content in the front page. It will not show your featured image.
Now to show your featured image and also the [Read more] link switch back to the 'show excerpt' mode.

If you dont see the excerpt box look at the top right part, click on 'screen options' and tick mark the excerpt check box.
I think this will help you.

The Athens gay scene is growing, though you have to know the places to go, there are usually no signs of gay flags outside to point out what it is.

Carol moved from Tucson to Prescott in 1978 with then-husband Chuck Hiatt and their two daughters, Stephanie and Jennifer. In 1984, Carol married Ron Green.

In 1981 Carol became a Registered Nurse working in medical/surgical, home health, physicians' offices, and dialysis ending her nursing career at Yavapai Regional Medical Center in Prescott. Carol was very proud of her work and the care she provided, and enjoyed working with many of Prescott's health care professionals over the years. Carol's passions included spending as much time as she could with her children, stepchildren and grandchildren as well as sewing, and reading. She was also an avid and knowledgeable sports fan, particularly when it came to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the University of Arizona Wildcats and the Arizona State Sun Devils basketball teams. Carol's ideals, spirit, and enthusiasm were contagious. Our joyful memories will never be forgotten and her love will always be felt. There will be no services. Carol desired only that her family gather soon, to be cheerful in our memories and to treasure the love we have for each other.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - State officials are urging residents to stay safe as temperatures drop throughout Florida.
A frigid and exceptionally dry air mass that funneled into the state behind an arctic cold front caused officials to issue a hard freeze warning for late Wednesday night for the northern two-thirds of the state. Forecasters say a combination of winds and below freezing temperatures will produce wind chills in the teens as far south as Lake Okeechobee.
Wind chill warnings have been issued for all of east central Florida and the Treasure coast through Thursday morning. Heavy frost formation is also expected Friday morning.
Officials want residents to keep themselves, their pets and their homes safe. Floridians should also be mindful of fire safety while trying to keep warm.

Almond-Scented Peach & Cherry Pie
From EatingWell: July/August 1995
Two of summer's favorite fruits come together in this almond-scented pie.
Makes: 8 servings

Total Time:
Nutrition Profile
Low cholesterol | Low saturated fat | Low sodium | Heart healthy | High fiber |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto, other almond-flavored liqueur or water
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 pound tart cherries, pitted (3 cups)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 5 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto, other almond-flavored liqueur or water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 pounds peaches, (about 8)
- To make crust: Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook swirling the pan, until the butter is a light, nutty brown, about 30 seconds. Measure oil into a small glass measuring cup; stir in butter.
- Combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt in a food processor and process briefly to mix. With the motor running, slowly add the butter and oil. Scrape down the bowl with a spatula to be sure all the flour is incorporated. With the motor running, add 2 tablespoons Amaretto; scrape the bowl, then add water 1 tablespoon at a time. The dough should not feel dry or crumbly; it should easily hold together when pressed. Remove dough from bowl and press into a flattened disk.
- Place two 16-inch lengths of plastic wrap overlapping by 2 inches on the work surface. Set the dough in the center and cover with two more overlapping sheets of plastic wrap. Roll out a circle about 13 inches in diameter. Remove the top sheets and invert the dough into the prepared pie plate, fitting it into the plate without stretching. Remove the remaining wrap. Trim the edges leaving a 3/4-inch overhang; use the trimmings to patch any holes in the dough. Fold the edges under and crimp. Cover the crust loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Line the pastry shell with a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, remove weights and foil or paper and bake for 8 to 10 minutes more, or until the crust is golden. Cool the pie crust on a rack while you make the filling. Increase oven temperature to 450°F.
- To make filling: Combine cherries, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Simmer the cherries until very tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Whisk together 2 tablespoons Amaretto and cornstarch in a small bowl and add to the cherries. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until thick and glossy, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in lemon zest. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Immerse peaches for 30 seconds; remove with a slotted spoon. Let cool briefly, then slip off the peach skins. Pit and slice the peaches into wedges. Combine with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet that is just large enough to hold the peaches in a single layer. Roast the peaches in the upper third of the 450°F oven, stirring often, until they are tender and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Spoon the cooled cherry filling into the crust and spread into an even layer. Arrange the roasted peaches on top. Let sit for 30 minutes.

In this photo released by the U.S. Attorneys Office, a recovered Fiji Island banded iguana that was seized from a suspect's Long Beach, Calif., home by officials from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service is shown Friday Sept. 21, 2007. Prosecutors allege the suspect, Jereme James, stole three hatchling Fiji Island banded iguanas in 2002 and brought them to the United States by concealing them in his prosthetic leg. (AP Photo/U.S. Attorney's Office)
NAPLES, Fla. (AP) - The chilly weather in southern Florida this
week was cold enough to force some iguanas to fall from trees.
Experts say the cold-blooded reptiles go into a deep sleep when
the temperature falls into the 40s. Their bodies basically shut off
and they lose their grip on the tree.
According to Collier County Domestic Animal Services control
supervisor Dana Alger, iguana reports traditionally rise when
temperatures drop, as the reptiles seek to warm themselves on
asphalt surfaces such as sidewalks, roads and driveways.
Most of the iguanas were once pets that got released when they
got too big. The reptiles can grow up to six feet long.

text: Fancy Farm Fancy Farm Chairman Thinks 2014 Edition Could See Largest Crowd Ever By Jonathan Meador • Jul 28, 2014 Kentucky Dept. of Agriculture This Saturday the 134th annual Fancy Farm political picnic will feature thousands of pounds of barbecue, and even spicier political rhetoric. In addition, the event's chairman anticipates this year's political gathering to be the largest ever. Mark Wilson and his wife, Lori, have directed the political happenings at the Fancy Farm picnic for the past eight years. Mark anticipates this year's crowd will be the largest since 1992, when Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Al Gore spoke at the event. "It's a ballpark, 15 to 20,000. And that's what we anticipate this year, the same type of crowd. A lifelong congregant of the stump speech mecca's St. Jerome Catholic parish, where the event is held alongside raffles and bingo, Wilson says local and state officeholders, as well as both of Kentucky's U.S. Senators, will be present at Fancy Farm. He says he anticipates Kentucky Agricultural Commissioner James Comer to keep with a tried and true Fancy Farm tradition and announce his rumored gubernatorial candidacy. "There's speculation that he's going to announce his intentions to run for governor on the Republican side of the aisle, and we think there's a very good possibility he will make that announcement on our political platform on Saturday." Wilson says the event will also feature its other signature offering: Several thousand pounds of barbeque mutton, chicken, and pork to aid the digestion of what could be the biggest Fancy Farm ever. McConnell/Grimes Race Could Draw 20,000 to Fancy Farm Picnic By John Null • Jul 16, 2014 WKMS The 134th Fancy Farm Picnic is now just a little more than two weeks away and the line-up of speakers is almost complete. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his challenger, Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, are expected to face off for the second time in as many years on August 2. Fancy Farm political chair Mark Wilson says, unlike Grimes, McConnell has yet to confirm his appearance, but expects the five-term Senator will make the trip. Wilson said the picnic's attendance could swell to as many as 20,000 people. "Normally we'll do 10-12,000 or so," Wilson said. "But with all the heightened interest in the McConnell/Grimes race and then you've got U.S. Sen. Rand Paul with some presidential aspirations and then we've got Jack Conway and James Comer, both sitting state officials who have gubernatorial aspirations." Comer has yet to actually declare himself a candidate for governor. The lone Republican to officially enter the race, Hal Heiner, will not be invited to speak, according to Wilson, because he's not a sitting public official. McConnell's primary challenger, Matt Bevin, ran into the same problem at last year's event, but was eventually invited to speak. Boisterous Political Supporters Make Fancy Farm What It Is By Joe Corcoran • Aug 7, 2013 Listen Listening... / Thousands of people attend the annual Fancy farm picnic every August for the barbecue, mutton and games and, of course, the fiery political speeches. But just as big a part as that is the audience members who traditionally cheer for their own candidates, jeer their opponents and, more often than not, steal the show. Joe Corcoran spoke with a Warren County businesswoman who made the trip this year to proudly wear her t-shirt, hold up her signs and to make her presence known. Grimes Blasts Kentucky's Senior Senator at Fancy Farm, while McConnell Takes Aim at Obama By Associated Press • Aug 4, 2013 Democratic Senate front-runner Alison Lundergan Grimes has portrayed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as being a chief Republican obstructionist as the rivals shared the spotlight at Kentucky's premier political event. Grimes, Kentucky's 34-year-old Secretary of State, accused McConnell of being a part of the "disease of dysfunction" in Washington, and blocking legislation just to spite the White House. "If doctors told Senator McConnell he had a kidney stone, he'd refuse to pass it," said Grimes. McConnell touted his Senate leadership and ignored Grimes, aiming his criticism at President Barack Obama. Both candidates in next year's Senate race spoke at the Fancy Farm picnic on Saturday in western Kentucky. McConnell told a raucous crowd that Obama's health-care law is a "disaster", and said he will focus his campaign on the damage the President's policies are having in the Bluegrass State. Kentucky Senate Candidates to Share Stage at Annual Fancy Farm Picnic By Associated Press • Aug 2, 2013 Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, up for re-election next year, will share a stage Saturday afternoon with his top challengers at the always raucous church picnic known for spicy barbecue and even spicier speeches. The event — a holdover from the days before television, when politicians had to seek out crowds to solicit votes — draws thousands of people each year to the tiny western Kentucky community of Fancy Farm and is considered a must-attend for politicians. It will provide voters the first side-by-side comparison of McConnell and his foes — Republican primary opponent Matt Bevin and Democratic front-runner Alison Lundergan Grimes — in a charged political climate with the candidates taking turns trying to shout their speeches over jeering hecklers. "From a purely political standpoint, it's a test for candidates," said Greg Higdon, a former state senator who helps with the picnic, now in its 133rd year. "There have been some politicians who have handled it better than others. It's not easy. I know it's tough." Bevin to Speak at Fancy Farm, Along with McConnell and Grimes By Associated Press • Jul 25, 2013 Republican Matt Bevin will be in the tiny community of Fancy Farm next week when politicians gather for a heated afternoon of stump speeches. Bevin, a newcomer to the U.S. Senate race, will share the stage with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and the top Democratic challenger, Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes on Aug. 3. Though the election isn't until next year, the campaign is in full swing. TV ads have been running for weeks already. One of the Fancy Farm organizers, Mark Wilson, said Bevin was confirmed as a speaker after he announced his candidacy on Wednesday. Two of Kentucky's highest-profile Democrats, Gov. Steve Beshear and Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson, won't attend the event. The political speeches are part of a church picnic that doubles as a fundraiser for St. Jerome Parish. The annual event typically draws some 10,000 people and generates about $250,000. McConnell and Grimes to Both Speak at Fancy Farm Picnic By Associated Press • Jul 16, 2013 The Fancy Farm picnic will be the backdrop for an early face-off between Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes. Both campaigns said Tuesday their candidates will attend the Aug. 3 event in western Kentucky. McConnell campaign manager Jesse Benton said the Republican senator wants to hear Grimes' views on health care, coal and gun rights. Grimes political adviser Jonathan Hurst referred to McConnell as "Sen. Gridlock" and said the campaign looks forward to hearing the senator defend to his long record in Washington. McConnell is seeking election to a sixth Senate term next year. Grimes is in her first term as Kentucky's secretary of state. Comer: Fancy Farm a Tradition That Should Continue Lieutenant Governor Jerry Abramson's assertion that the Fancy Farm picnic is no longer a relevant political event has inspired a growing backlash. Majority of Barbs at 2012 Fancy Farm Aimed at Those Who Aren't Present The absence of many Democrats gave Republicans plenty of fodder at this year's Fancy Farm Picnic. Republicans from U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell down to local legislative candidates took shots at state Democrats and President Barack Obama throughout the event. AARP to Use Fancy Farm Event to Discuss Major Entitlement Programs The nation's leading organization for seniors will use this year's Fancy Farm picnic to launch a nationwide tour to help voters be better informed about Social Security and Medicare.

2 stabbed, 1 sought after dispute at Berkeley park
Scroll to the bottom of this story for a July 12 clarification from BPD about how the crash pictured above came to pass.

One man was stabbed in the chest, and received injuries that appeared potentially life threatening, and another had a cut to the arm.

Fourth Street Apple store reports theft by 7 males
A band of thieves struck the Berkeley Apple store Friday in what authorities described as a "coordinated effort," and a problem that has been faced by numerous Apple stores around the Bay Area.
The theft took place shortly before 3 p.m. at 1823 Fourth St. in Berkeley's popular Fourth Street shopping area.
Berkeley Police Lt. Andrew Rateaver said store employees reported that a group of at least seven males entered the store and, "using a coordinated effort, stole several iPhones and other Apple products."
A reader told Berkeleyside he "saw a group of kids cut the security cords at the front table of products and make off" with what he estimated to be six iPhones and iPads.
The group then left the store and fled northbound on Fourth Street before witnesses lost sight of them. … Continue reading »
'Unconstitutional police attacks' in December Berkeley protests spur civil rights lawsuit
Eleven demonstrators and journalists have filed a civil rights complaint against the city of Berkeley, the city of Hayward, former Berkeley City Manager Christine Daniel, Berkeley Police Chief Michael Meehan, and 13 other named police officers in federal court seeking changes in how Berkeley polices demonstrations and damages for what they term "unconstitutional police attacks" during the Black Lives Matter protests on Dec. 6, 2014.
"The Berkeley police treated all the demonstrators as if they were violent and lawless," James Chanin, a Berkeley-based civil rights attorney representing the plaintiffs, said at a press conference in front of Berkeley Police headquarters Monday morning. "The results were predictable, and that is why we're here today. Non-violent protesters were injured, massive amounts of gas were used on non-violent protesters as well as people who had little if anything to do with the demonstrations, and those who did commit property damage got away while non-violent, innocent people were injured and/or prevented from exercising their First Amendment rights."
Moni Law, a Berkeley Rent Board counselor, is one of the plaintiffs. Law said she was clubbed in the back from behind by a Berkeley police officer when she was urging other demonstrators to step back from the police line. At the press conference, Law described herself as a "reluctant plaintiff."
"I want my own police department to protect and to serve," Law said. "Let's keep our city free of violence, and that includes police violence."
Read past Berkeleyside coverage of the Berkeley protests.
Rachel Lederman, co-counsel for the plaintiffs and head of the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, said it was "somewhat surprising" that Berkeley police had received the most complaints and reports during the protests last December, even though there were demonstrations in Oakland and San Francisco, as well as other Bay Area cities. … Continue reading »

Police recognize retirement, celebrate promotions
More than 100 people crowded into the Maudelle Shirek building in downtown Berkeley on Thursday morning to celebrate three promotions and recognize the retirement of a longtime officer from the Berkeley Police Department.
Opening these ceremonies to the public is a relatively new move by the department to give the community a chance to learn about how officers approach their work, said Police Chief Michael Meehan.
"It's something I changed when I got hired," said Meehan. "We're proud of who we are and what we're doing in this city, and we want people to know who their officers are." … Continue reading »
