Moscow 1980 - Overview
Moscow welcome the 'political Games'
While chosen to host the 1980 Olympic Games on October 23, 1974, the IOC was all too aware of the difficulties that such a choice may incur. The Olympic movement still fell prey to politics when the Games were held in Moscow, the first Eastern European city to host an Olympiad. The boycott became apparent once more with the absence of the United States and many other countries.
The 1979 Red Army invasion of Afghanistan proved the catalyst - sparking anger from US President Jimmy Carter. Many others joined the boycott but, even so, 81 countries and over 5,217 athletes attended between July 19 and August 3.
Soviet publicity
The Soviet capital had been preparing for five years to stage the event, with Communism being assured its own quota of publicity. New stadia and sports facilities were built and those that already existed, such as the Lenin stadium, were modernised.
But the same effort was applied, to the detriment of the public, outside the city. A five-storey media centre was erected on a site where fifty individual houses had previously stood. The domes on top of the Kremlin and many of the area's churches were totally restored.
Given the absence of notable competitors, above all the Americans, the competitions sometimes failed to capture the true spirit of the Games - despite the breaking of 36 world records.
No atmosphere
When the final curtain fell, the overall opinion was that the Games had been mediocre. On the one hand, the American boycott more or less biased the competition, as well as provoking a dull atmosphere. On the other hand, the competitors had reason, on a regular basis, to complain about certain irregularities. Favours given to the Soviet team, or advice given to local athletes, lent an unhealthy pallor to the moral and sporting appearance of the Games.
Moscow also signalled the end of Lord Killanin's tenure as president of the IOC. At the end, Spaniard Juan Antonio Samaranch took over the reins.
Britain's Allan Wells won the 100m dash with a sprint of 10.25sec, the worst time since 1954. His compatriots Steve Ovett, Sebastien Coe and Daley Thompson won golds too in the 800m, 1500m and decathlon after the British Olympic Committee decided to make the trip.
Russian swimmer Vladimir Salnikov gave his compatriots something to smile about with wins in the 400m, 1500m and the 4x200m relay. Cuban boxer Teofilo Stevenson also left his mark, punching his way to gold in the heavyweight division at his third consecutive Olympics.

She may have been his lucky charm, but Kate Hudson and Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez needed more than luck to keep their romance alive.
"They're over," says a source. "They've been broken up for a couple of weeks. They just wanted things to die down around them. [Kate and Alex] both seem to totally fine. They decided to move on."
Together since the spring, the couple were seen together all over the country and most recently in Europe where Hudson was doing press for her latest flick, Nine.
"Kate decided to take her mom to some of the press stuff and premieres as her date – that was good for her," says the source. "They both have kids and totally different lives … They may not be done working it out though."
Plus, in an interview Hudson gave on CNN's Larry King Live, airing Wednesday night, when asked how Rodriguez is, she responds, "Good, really good." She also says her dad Kurt Russell played baseball so she's been a fan of the game for a while.

Crime Watch
The 500 mourners who crowded into the Church of St. Peter in Plymouth, Mass., on Feb. 1 were transfixed by a tragic sight: a single wooden casket holding the bodies of both Rachel Entwistle and her 9-month-old daughter, Lillian. Noticeably absent was Neil Entwistle—Rachel's husband and Lillian's father. He'd flown to England Jan. 21, a day before the bodies of Rachel, 27, and Lillian were discovered and has since been living at his parents' house in Worksop, England. Middlesex County prosecutors have called Entwistle, 27, a "person of interest," but deny press reports that he's the only one. "We look at the family, husband, whoever is close," says Melissa Sherman, a spokeswoman for the Middlesex County D.A.'s office. Although a murder weapon has yet to be found, police have examined the gun collection of Joseph Matterazzo, Rachel's stepfather, for DNA and other evidence. (He is not considered a suspect.) A death certificate shows Rachel died instantly from a gunshot to the head, while Lillian died several minutes after being shot in the abdomen.
Although pundits in local media outlets claim the investigation is stalled, family spokesman Joe Flaherty says progress is being made. "They've been watching too many episodes of CSI," he says, "where the crime is solved by the end of the day."
Andrea Yates Leaves Prison
When District Judge Belinda Hill set bond for her Feb. 1, Andrea Yates turned first to her lawyer for confirmation, then smiled to her mother, Jutta Karin Kennedy. "She's not the same Andrea today on medication," says Kennedy. "When the tragedy happened, she was so sick." Yates, 41, whose conviction for drowning her children in 2001 was reversed in November, was transferred Feb. 2 from Harris County Jail to Rusk State Hospital, where she will be housed in a psychiatric unit until a second trial begins March 20. Her attorney hopes to reach a plea bargain with prosecutors; a retrial, he believes, will be damaging to Yates, who takes antipsychotic drugs. Ex-husband Rusty Yates agrees. "I think another trial ... could trigger some kind of relapse," he says.

I've had that thought about a few things lately, but the tests that are part of make check don't currently have any trappings for doing negative tests, which makes it easy to do nothing about it :-) Should somebody (I don't have time right now, but if someone else does ....) be adding such a capability to the libvirt-internal tests, or is that better just delegated to tests in libvirt-tck?

The plugin is working almost as it should...or it probably is but something wrong with my conf. I'm using callback function which is pretty much the same as the example in the twentyten theme functions.php.
But for some reason when replying to a comment the reply doesn't get the proper classes (depth-2 etc.) and therefore renders as it was the depth-1 comment (gets those classes). After page refresh it does render correctly as depth-2.
If I disable the callback, then the class is set properly so my guess is that this has something to do with the callback function and how it's set up but I can't figure it out... Or could it be something else?

Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparation includes:
- Attendance at The Emanuel Religious School or a Jewish Day School.
- Family Education programs for adults and children together.
- Shabbat services, including the Bar/Bat Mitzvah Club (see description below).
- Individual attention from Hazzan Cohn, Rabbi Small, Kate Goldman, Moshe Pinchover, and, in some cases, other adult tutors.
- Bar/Bat Mitzvah students also participate as a group in classes designed to prepare and challenge them while building group spirit.
- Each student is encouraged to work up to his or her ability. This may include reading Torah, chanting Haftarah, leading prayers, and composing and presenting an original presentation on their Torah portion.
- A Tikkun Olam (Repair the World) project.
We greatly appreciate the role of a non-Jewish partner in supporting his or her child's Jewish education. The non-Jewish partner will have a significant role in the Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony and is afforded full access to the synagogue resources and clergy. To become a Bar/Bat Mitzvah at The Emanuel, the children must have a Jewish mother or have had a traditional conversion. Consult with Rabbi Small to answer any questions about the conversion.
Dates for this special occasion are given out two to three years in advance. Special date requests must be made in writing to Rabbi Small.

David LaRochelle turns pumpkins into art
If your idea of carving pumpkins involves the typical triangle eyes and a crude gap-toothed smile, prepare to have your mind expanded. David LaRochelle, a White Bear Lake author and illustrator of children's books, has turned jack-o'-lanterns into an art form.
LaRochelle has been carving pumpkins for more than 20 years, creating intricate designs with a children's-book whimsy. These aren't just scary faces hacked into a gourd; LaRochelle pumpkins set a scene or even tell a story: a shark is about to devour a fisherman, a spider weaves an elaborate web, a school bus of ghouls drives along on wheels of winter squash.
"I've always been fascinated by pumpkins," says LaRochelle, who used to grow and sell them as a kid in New Brighton. He began creating fancy pumpkins years ago when he was still teaching elementary school and ran across a pumpkin-carving kit that also advertised a carving contest. He decided to enter and won an honorable mention. Since then, he says, he's carved anywhere from five to 15 every year. "So I'm sure I've done well over a hundred pumpkins." His works often take about three hours, he says. "The longest I've ever spent on a pumpkin was eight hours."
While his carvings have been mostly for the neighbors' benefit, he occasionally gets paid for professional pumpkin-carving gigs, and he and/or his gourds have appeared on ABC's Good Morning America show several times.
LaRochelle's day job, though, is creating children's books. "I've probably written or illustrated over 25 books by now," he says. Last spring, Reese Witherspoon read one of his books, The Best Pet of All, on the White House lawn during the annual Easter Egg Roll.
LaRochelle's books can be found in local independent and chain bookstores, but his pumpkins, like Buddhist monk sand mandalas, are ephemeral things. "Pumpkins carved all the way through won't last more than a day or two" in pristine condition, he says, though the ones with engraved skins can last a couple of weeks.
Luckily, LaRochelle has preserved many of them in photos. To see more examples of LaRochelle's pumpkin art, take a look through this City Pages slideshow of his work. Many more can be viewed on his website, where you'll also find information about his children's books.

I've looked on the developers forum and found several people with this question but no answers. What's happening is that when you go to post a new post the 2 "rows" that are the wysiwyg tools & smilies are displaying vertically instead of horizontally. Very odd. I'd actually like to disable the smilies entirely but we do need to keep the editing tools. I can't give you a link to the live site as it's still in development AND it will be in a protected area.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Holiday Travel Advisory
As the busy holiday season approaches, thousands of airline travelers get ready to tackle the lines and delays. Thousands more are braving the trains and buses and automobiles to be with family and friends. But beware, travel today is fraught with long delays at check-in, on the tarmac, and on the road.
For people with serious health problems like diabetes and heart disease -- and for young children -- all this can be a real ordeal. If you don't plan properly, it could even be life-threatening.
Recommended Related to Healthy Seniors
Who doesn't wish for a fountain of youth? Magical youth-restoring springs exist only in legend, but science does point to a few simple, healthy habits that can help extend your life. Heather Whitson, MD, associate professor of medicine (geriatrics) at Duke University School of Medicine, shares the most effective tips.
Read the The Secret to Healthy Aging article > >
How to keep everyone healthy and happy during those long travel hours? WebMD sought the advice of a few experts.
If you have diabetes...
Eat close to your regular schedule. "That's especially important for diabetics," says Inyanga Mack, MD, assistant professor of family and community medicine at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia.
Since meal service has been discontinued on most flights, getting to the airport early leaves you time to eat before the flight. Also, bring along healthy snacks to offset the risk of hypoglycemia, whether on the road or in the air, she tells WebMD.
Wear an appropriate medical alert bracelet. Carry the name of an emergency contact person and your primary care physician, Mack suggests. Keep a list of your medications and doses, so someone can get access to your medication in an emergency.
Take medications with you, not packed in luggage. Carry a few days' supply of your medications. Then if luggage gets lost, or if you're trapped in the airport or on the plane for extended periods, your health won't be in jeopardy. Always eat and take medications according to your regular schedule, even if everything else is in turmoil.
Make sure medications are properly labeled. All prescriptions must have the pharmaceutical label or professionally printed label identifying the drug. If you are not permitted to board with your medications and supplies, ask to speak with the airport's FAA representative or the security director. You may even want to call ahead of time to be sure you can get on board with what you need.
FAA requirements: Diabetic people carrying syringes and/or needles must also carry the injectable medication. Diabetic people traveling in the U.S. can bring syringes and other such equipment in carry-on bags, but insulin vials must have a professional, printed medication label. Better yet, keep insulin in its original box, since it has the pharmaceutical company label. Needles must be capped. The glucose meter must have the manufacturer's name on it. Injectable glucagon should also be in its original plastic kit with the pre-printed pharmaceutical label.

A major Dunedin City Council and New Zealand Transport Agency
survey was launched yesterday to gather information about how
residents travel to and from home, work, schools and shopping
''The results will help the DCC plan for future travel
demand, understand where congestion problems may occur and
continue to make it easier for people to get about in
different ways,'' DCC transportation group manager Gene
Ollerenshaw said.
The survey will involve 325 randomly selected households in
Dunedin, Mosgiel, Outram, Allanton, Waitati, Port Chalmers
and Portobello.
Each person in the household, aged 10 and older, would be
asked to carry a cellphone-sized GPS device for a week, to
record their travel.
The survey will run until late September.
It would be the first time a detailed Dunedin travel survey
had been undertaken since 1989, Mr Ollerenshaw said.
The New Zealand Transport Agency will meet two-thirds of the
$149,000 survey and the DCC will cover the rest.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Irish Retail Sales Fall 3.8% on Year, Declining for Fourth Month
Irish retail sales declined for a fourth month on an annual basis in October as unemployment rose and house prices fell, the central statistics office said.
Retail sales fell 3.8 percent in October from the same month a year earlier, the Cork-based agency said on its website today. Sales rose 0.1 percent from September. Excluding autos, sales dropped 3.6 percent from the previous year and fell 0.2 percent from the previous month.
Irish home loans in arrears for more than 90 days rose to 8.1 percent at the end of September, following the end of a decade-long property boom that peaked in 2007, the Irish central bank said Nov. 18. Ireland's government will unveil an austerity budget on Dec. 6.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said today that risks to its forecasts for growth in Ireland's economy next year and in 2013 are "skewed to the downside" as the country's export markets weaken.
"Ireland remains highly reliant on, and vulnerable to change in, foreign demand," the Paris-based OECD said in its twice-annual global economic outlook. The body forecast that Ireland's gross domestic product will expand by 1 percent next year and 2.4 percent in 2013, unchanged from October, when it lowered its 2012 prediction.
Sales of books, newspapers and stationary fell 14.4 percent in October from a year earlier, the statistics office said. Sales at department stores dropped 8 percent, while sales of food, drinks and tobacco fell 5.2 percent.

DS has been increasingly difficult since starting school in September. He was nearly kicked out of the after-school daycare program, he was kicked out of all the school's after-hours activity. He was kicked off the school bus. He is aggressive and is often restrained at school. Each time he is, it is school policy to call me asap. He also will refuse to get ready to go outside for recess, which results in another call to me.
My dh works out of town and feels that, since he does work farther away, he does not need to attend school meetings, medical appts, etc. DH also feels that I should be the one doing the cleaning, cooking, childcare during the week. DH does have anxiety and needs to run/lift weights for sanity reasons, which leads him to not be home much during the week anyways. He also feels that I can miss work for appts, but he cannot, even though we technically have the same job but at 2 different locations.
I work at a job that is supposed to be 35 hours, but one is expected to put in around 50 hours a week. I cannot do that, due to appts for my ds. The supervisors at my workplace don't appear to be understanding of the situation at home. I am really feeling I need to quit and focus on ds, but finances will not allow me to do so.
I spend most of my days feelings incredibly overwhelmed and stressed, to the point that I am now feeling hopeless and depressed. It doesn't help that we are waiting on services for DS. I have a meeting to start play therapy for ds next week, a meeting with the ASD clinic the week after and then I take ds to a psycho-education assessment the week after that. All while trying to fit in time to work 35 (which should be more like 50) hours a week.
How do other WOHM function with the demands of the office, the home and meet the needs of their ASD child(ren)?

Publisher's Letter
The ice was broken at Kennebunk-port last August when PEOPLE sent Little to photograph George and Barbara Bush a few days before the Republican National Convention. Bush was wearing a gray suit for the occasion, and Little suggested it was a bit too formal. So the Vice-President invited Little into the bedroom to check out his clothes. "As we walked into the room," says Little, "Mrs. Bush was literally buttoning her last button. She said, 'George, I think this is a little bit of an intrusion.' " But when Bush said, "Barbara, you remember Christopher Little," Mrs. Bush was the soul of graciousness as the two men headed to the closet. "The Vice-President undid his belt, and his trousers were down on the floor," Little recalls. "At that very moment an aide stuck her head in the door and said, 'Oh, my God, PEOPLE magazine is in the Vice-President's bedroom, and he's in his underpants.' "
But whether our new President wears boxers or briefs is a secret that's safe with Little, who photographed the Bushes again in December for PEOPLE'S Year-End issue, then traveled to Colorado and Maine to shoot son Neil, 34, and daughter Dorothy LeBlond, 29, for this week's story on the new First Family. "Bush was hugely cooperative and fun to be with," says Little, whose portrait of the Bushes appears on this week's cover.
Little, a native New Yorker, has journalism in his blood. His father, Stuart W. Little, wrote a theater column for the New York Herald Tribune, where Christopher got his first taste of news photography on a summer break from the Hotchkiss School. While an undergraduate at Yale, Little took pictures for Newsweek. When he graduated in 1972, he returned to New York and began shooting for TIME and then for PEOPLE. He has also done seven books, including two on ocean crossings he made with William F. Buckley Jr. He lives in a Chelsea loft with his wife, Betsy, 38, and their daughter, Eliza, 7.
In the process of taking hundreds of photographs for PEOPLE stories and covers, Little has earned a reputation for being able to put even the most high-strung subject at ease. Yet he admits, "The fact is, I am nervous before and during every assignment I have ever done in my life. The process puts me right on the edge." However Little overcomes the tension, he invariably develops a rapport with the person in front of his lens. "I love that intimacy. It's fleeting but intense, even magical."

felt in Anchorage, according to Guy Urban, a geophysicist for
the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre in Palmer,
"Some people in Anchorage said some things fell off the
shelves," he told Reuters, adding that the centre was unaware
of any severe property damage or anyone being hurt.
Quakes of similar strength are fairly common in Alaska, one
of the most seismically active parts of the United States.

S&W 637 Airweight
Ruger Single Six

You go with a 9mm. In might come to a surprise to you but some folks can do multiple shots with a .44 cal...as far as the spray and pray, great plan again. I choose to take aimed shots and not 'pray' I hit something. And yes, we know that it will be stressful, but that will affect your aim whether it is a .22 or a .50 cal
There's no lack of large bear here in Alaska. When I'm on the trails or by the streams you will find me carrying one of or some combination of these three firearms-
Marlin 1895GS 45/70
S&W 460V revolver
460 Rowland XD Conversion.
The 460 Rowland is pretty minimal for pointing at a big brownie, but my 225 gr hardcast flatnose rounds move along at 1400 fps and produce 979 fl-lbs of energy so it's far better than a pointy stick!
A high powered rifle. Barring that, your head and some bear spray. Bring along your normal carry gun if you'd like though for protection against the much more common backwoods threat; the two legged thug.

Colorado allows open carry in the woods. There are no grizzly bears (officially, though a few have been spotted near Gunnison). The black bears can get somewhat large. I carried my 1911 with heavy FMJ when I lived in CO, but I would have felt a little better with a .41 or .44 mag. I didn't run into any bears, but I did see a mountain lion cross the trail about 200 yards up the trail. I never saw it again, but I am pretty certain it saw me! Rattle snakes are likely to be your biggest threat on the trails so take a walking stick!

Like I said, if you insist on carrying a handgun.....use something that you can knock off multiple rounds with HP. Any shot in the facial area will turn him a lot quicker than a big ol hot loaded hardcast. If you would feel more comfortable with a larger caliber then get a 45 ACP, but make sure it holds more than 7 shots.
I've been bluff charged in BC by a 500 lb Boar that stopped 10 yds from me. The spray was in my hands.
This is from Chuck Hawke:There are many more references. Where are yours?At short range a full power .357 Magnum loaded with 158 grain (SD .177) to 180 grain (SD .202) bullets should suffice, since the target is the animal's central nervous system. Even one of the great bears can be stopped at close range if the shooter can deliver a .357 bullet to the brain. The biggest advantage of the .357 is that most shooters can shoot it more accurately than the bigger magnums. The brain or spinal cord of even a large bear (the biggest of the big predators) is a small target, requiring precise bullet placement. "Spray and pray" won't get the job done, regardless of bullet diameter and energy.
There is (or was) a fishing guide that lived in Fairbanks when I was stationed there, and one of my hunting/fishing partners (former SF type) went to his home. The guide was down on a river, told the several clients where to go and NOT to go along the river, sure nuff, one of the guys promptly went where the guide told him NOT to go and as the guide came down the river to check the client was being charged by an angry Grizz. The guide fired all six shots from his .44 mag. All six shots struck the skull frontal area and only the sixth round finally penetrated, dropping the grizz right at the clients feet (I bet the client had to go wash his drawers out).
Fish and Game let the guide keep the skull---my hunting/fishing partner saw the skull all cleaned up--five of the six rounds were embedded in the skull without penetrating.
Another story from the Kenai area about 10 years ago or so--my best friend who still lives in Fairbanks sent me the news article--guy out moose hunting, with .30-'06--hears a noise, sees a grizz charging him, he gets off a quick shot with the rifle and hears it hit the bear, bear makes it to him, mauls him, grabs him by the face and stands up, the dude has the presence of mind to pull his .44 mag from his holster and puts 5 rounds into the grizz's chest from contact distance. The bear drops him and runs off. The guy staggers out to a road, gets taken to town and stitched up. Fish and game goes out to located the bear (wouldn't you love to go after a wounded mad grizz???). Anyway, they find the place--turns out the hunter had unknowningly been standing on top of the grizz's covered moose kill, they found his rifle, bits of clothing, etc, but they never found the bear. Nobody knows whether it lived or died, but it had the strength to at least move off far enough to never be found after taking 1 '06 round and 5 .44 mag slugs to the chest.........
You wanna carry a handgun, go right ahead...........

Yachting Land Adventure
Flamenco - The Soul of Spain
Many say Flamenco is the very soul of Spain. Seville, the capital of Andalusia is a unique, compact and exciting city with a rich cultural heritage. Dive into the secrets of Seville, the ones that are hidden off the beaten track, but still reflect the main character of Andalusia: The real magic of the city lies in its labyrinthine Jewish Quarter, riveting flamenco shows, thriving bars and teeming festivals. We will experience a genuine Flamenco show in the heart of the Jewish Quarter. After a short transfer to the city centre we will be guided to the flamenco venue "Los Gallos" which was established in 1966. Here we will enjoy a great show of singing, dancing and flamenco guitar. The men demonstrate their high tempo footwork while the women concentrate on graceful turns and steps. The flamenco guitarists display their lightning-fast finger-work backed by intricate rhythms of the castanets, hand-clapping and wailing voices. Los Gallos offers a great quality of flamenco. Through its 46 years of existence it is Seville's oldest and most recognized flamenco venue and has been awarded Demofilo Award in 2004 as the "Best flamenco path for the last forty years". Enjoy the purest and most traditional flamenco! After the show our guide will return us safely to the yacht, unless you decide to immerse yourself further in Seville's nightlife.

Product Description
Undeniably the hippest show to air on cable in the 1990s, The Larry Sanders Show takes you backstage at a fictional late night talk show with real-life guests from movies, music and television. The Larry Sanders Show was ahead of its time, becoming an immediate critical and audience hit for its satirical, tongue-in-cheek look at Hollywood. The series that combined documentary-like camerawork with a clever blend of fact and fiction set the standard of quality for HBO and influenced the development of shows like Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Office.
Not Just the Best of the Larry Sanders Show features more than 8 hours of newly-produced material including Garry Shandling in personal and intimate visits with friends like Alec Baldwin, Tom Petty, Sharon Stone, Jerry Seinfeld, and Jon Stewart and including the compellingly entertaining, feature-length documentary, "The Making of The Larry Sanders Show."
The Larry Sanders Show was at the forefront of changing the genre of TV comedy, and influenced the development of many shows to follow, like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, and both versions of The Office. The source of that inspiration is on full display here, as talk-show host Larry Sanders (Shandling) along with his producer Artie (Rip Torn) and his "poor deluded bastard" sidekick Hank (Jeffrey Tambor), struggles to keep his late-night talk show on the air despite dropping ratings, absurd notes from the network, and a hilarious tendency to self-sabotage his personal life. His guest stars, including some of the biggest names in show business, seem to enjoy lampooning their images and provide some of the sharpest comic moments. It's great stuff, and it's too bad all six seasons are not scheduled to be released on DVD. Shandling reportedly went this route with the release, rather than continuing with complete seasons, because of a desire to wrap it all up at once after a long legal battle with producer Brad Grey. While many fans might bemoan the fact that there will be no complete-season sets of The Larry Sanders Show released after this, there are episodes from all six seasons here to enjoy, including the first and the double-part finale. With a gem like this, it's better to savor what's available than to lament what might have been. --Daniel Vancini

Been doing some updates to my theme recently, and received this message when trying to login to WordPress Admin:
"WordPress administrator area access disabled temporarily due to widespread brute force attacks."
Been that way for a good 6 or so hours...searched high and low for a solution, with no luck. This is also showing up for other subdomain wordpress installs we have as well. Any ideas? Is this a built in security feature of WordPress or is my web host giving this message?
Any help would be very appreciated, thanks.

This is a very good gingerbread! Moist and very flavorful. I used a dark molasses, which the recipe called for, however proved to be just too much flavor for my taste. Next time I make this recipe, I will use a lighter molasses. Thanks for a wonderful new recipe!

text: Description Suggest an Edit Once known as the Clearfield and Grampian Trail, in 2011, the name was changed to the David S. Ammerman Trail in memory of the man who championed turning the abandoned rail corridor into a recreational trail.Take in scenic views of water, farmland, and forests and a vibrant history of railroad commerce and Native American life. As you walk, bike or ski this easy and smooth trail from Clearfield to Grampian, you'll enjoy the glistening waters of Kratzer Run, Anderson Creek and the Susquehanna River. The former railroad line carried tons of coal and quarried stone along the East Coast, as well as clay, which was used to make bricks in the many brickyards along the trail.Grampian, named by Scottish settlers after the Grampian Mountains of Scotland, was also home to Quakers in the early 1800s. Clearfield, settled in the late 1700s by Revolutionary War veterans with land grants, was named for the clearings made by grazing bison. The Native Americans called this major trading center along the Susquehanna River "Chinklacamoose." The trail was part of the Great Shamokin Path used by the Lenape and Mohican tribes.The David S. Ammerman Trail offers several opportunities for stops to enjoy the scenic beauty of the area, with picnic tables available at around 2.5 miles, 4 miles and 6.7 miles outside of Grampian. Several railroad bridges remind you of the commerce that was important to the area when the railroad was built in the late 1860s and 1870s. The first two bridges you pass are located in the borough of Curwensville about 4 miles outside of Grampian. Click to read more Parking and Trail Access To reach the Clearfield Trailhead, take I-80 to Exit 120 for Clearfield. Take Route 879 South about 2.5 miles and turn right on the Spruce Street Exit. Take the first left (Chester Street), and in another 200 yards turn left. Parking is available at the trailhead.The Grampian trailhead is one block from the stoplight at the intersection of U.S. 219 and Routes 879 and 729.

The Internet of Things
Over the past century, we have seen the emergence of a kind of global data field. The planet itself—natural systems, human systems, physical objects—have always generated an enormous amount of data, but until recent decades, we weren't able to hear it, to see it, to capture it. Now we can because all of these things have been instrumented with microchips, UPC codes and other technologies. And they're all interconnected, so now we can actually have access to the data. In effect, the planet has grown a central nervous system and is developing intelligence. It's becoming a much smarter planet. Watch the video:

Isn't that first mug shot a dead ringer for Ron Paul?
Mr. Poe's dream dates? What the fuck? Oh hell no.
These men are ass ugly. Vomit.
I used to go there with my grandma when I was younger... wow. Didn't see this coming.
I thought the first looked like Ron Paul too!
@4 that's just wrong!
It is nice that they are at least letting them turn themselves in... instead of executing no-knock warrants. still, apart from the normal annoyances of this sort of operation:
Those who are arrested will be charged with Sexual Misconduct and could face fines, jail time, probation, and be required to register as sex offenders after their conviction, investigators said.
they are may be required to register as sex offenders?
@7, absolutely. Anyone that ugly having sex is patently offensive.
Oh my god, that ad is fabulous.
Regarding all of us checkin' out the gallery, though... isn't this the sort of public-shaming-of-guys-who-have-sex-with-other-guys that is usually frowned upon here?
I wonder how long before one or more of these guys commits suicide like happened after the similar newsworthy publication of names, addresses, and photos in Tennessee last year (just north of where this sting occurred.)
And do you think THIS guy is any relation to John Mark Karr, of Jon Benet Ramsey hoxer fame? The Karr family is from north Alabama:
Brian Lee Karr, 37 years of age, Huntsville
Jeez, talk about public shaming. These guys are pathetic sure, but do they deserve this kind of humiliation?
Can't a randy 84-year-old get his gay public sex freak on without The Man bringing him down?
This defamation will not go unpunished. I have a Jew who happens to excel in Jewjutsu. You dead. All yallz. Dead.
I agree. That was depressing and unnecessary. The looks on their faces say it all.
They also still do this back home in St. Paul with pictures of hookers and their johns. I don't see the point of any of this.
9: Yes, which is why I didn't include any names/photos in my post, just links to existing reports. (Pretending such things don't go on doesn't help anything, plus the whole bogus endeavor is kicked into the realm of inadvertent hilarity by that damn ad on the left...)
How come nobody smiled for their picture?
Poe is right. Us Jews have superpowers- just ask Jack Chick.
So many lives destroyed for nothing.
Most of these men aren't ugly. Let's see how you'd like in a mug shot, as you contemplate all of the many fine aspects of your life that are about to be taken from you: reputation, job, family, possibility of ever having another job or family.
I dunno, I think that black guy in the middle's pretty cute. But yeah, how pathetic that we're still shaming men in public - like that's going to change anything...
Well I'm glad the police have their priorities in order... And if posting mugshots and names weren't enough, they're labeling them as sex offenders? Really..?
I've never been one for public sex, but this sort of witch hunt is clear evidence of homophobia on the part of police. I seriously doubt a straight couple caught fucking in the bushes would get sex offender status.
I don't understand what they were doing wrong. Sodomy laws were struck down, so was it just lewd public behavior that got them arrested? Is that considered a sexual offense? Is there somewhere where we can see photos of straight people who were caught for the same thing?
I also don't get the LOL-attitude that some people on here have. It's not funny at all.
@20 - straight people don't get caught for doing these things.
We get warnings when we get down and dirty in the bushes and the bathrooms.
And we look sheepish.
At least, in my experience.
These men all knew it was illegal and took the risk anyway. Wah-Wah.
It's not just shame. The "sex offender" tag on your record disqualifies you from almost every job except manual labor. If they move out of state and evade registering, they might be able to get away with it for a few years, but they'll always get caught. It's serious business. Their lives are ruined.
@21 Wow, way to contradict yourself- you say straight people don't get caught, yet you (who I assume to be straight) got caught and given a warning...?
These guys should have gotten off with a warning as well, but instead they're branded as sexual deviants for the rest of their lives; no doubt this will result in a loss of employment opportunity and family relationships. Truly fucking tragic.
@22 And exactly where else do you expect them to go in Huntsville, Alabama? Obviously, this isn't the ideal but are men who are isolated, not-rich, not-beautiful, not-young, and living in a hateful environment supposed to just be without any human contact at all?
#25: And meanwhile everyone in Huntsville, Alabama get to have their opinions of what gay people are be dirty old men getting it on in a public park where anyone, including kids, could see them.
I cut those men some slack because they look like they are mostly old, and probably got stuck in Shitsville. However, overall my opinion is you do public sex you are taking the risk. Fuck, I think for some people the risk is half the thrill. But please don't whine and cry to me if you get caught.
Now that your picture is up you might as well go for it. Chin up guys. They don't raid straight peoples "lovers lane" so this is just more persecution. Fuck them.
thanks...nothing makes my day like news of a homophobic witchhunt...
Waaaaa!! Think of the children!!!
Jason...don't be a tool. Very, very few gay men interested in NSA "shrub" sex have any interest in exposing themselves to the unwilling which is why you usually either find cruising areas in remote locations, or at the very least, secluded areas of more densely populated parks. I did a little research into the Huntsville arrests. They occurred at a remote, rural park with plenty of trails and shrubs. These people were arrested based on photographic evidence, not eyewitnesses traumatized by the sight of buttfucking. There's a world of difference between wanting to hook up and play, privately, in a public setting from having the far rarer kink of wanting to fuck around in public and getting caught in the act by "innocent" bystanders. Does that mean that gay men, or anyone else for that matter, should get to fuck around where ever they want? Of course not; anyone dumb enough to get caught fucking around in a heavily trafficked area or any where with close proximity to kids, deserves to get a ticket. But, in my opinion, there's a big difference between fucking in a public restroom 25 feet from a kids daycamp and fucking in the shrubs in a remote area with no one around but a hidden camera.
@26 not only that (micheal's above), but getting caught and ticket would be fine. getting your picture splashed up in the news and potentially being branded a sex offender?
shouldn't the punishment fit the crime?
they should pay a fine if not given a warning. they should have to do community service -- maybe clean up the very park they were caught in. but this is not a rational outcome. it's only rational in a homophobic, sex-phobic world.
@24 - depends on your definition of caught.
If they don't take your ID and book you ... no harm no foul.
What, you want me to pretend it's fair? [puzzled look of incredulity]
Why are you such an expert at getting caught with your pants down in a public park, Will?
@33 - I never claimed to be an expert. And I never said I was caught, or even that it happened to me.
My, you lead a sheltered existence, Fnarf.

House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., has asked the Environmental Protection Agency to withdraw its proposed carbon emissions rule that applies to new power plants. Upton, along with Reps. Steve Scalise, R-La., Ed Whitfield, R-Ky., and Joe Barton, R-Texas, wrote a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, saying the proposed rule is beyond the EPA's authority. Withdrawing the regulation "will ensure that the agency does not propose standards beyond its legal authority. This will also ensure that stakeholders and the public will not have to incur additional costs to respond to a proposal that contravenes applicable law," they said in the letter.

A BOMBER'S TALE; A Cuban Exile Details the 'Horrendous Matter' of a Bombing Campaign
Published: July 12, 1998
(Page 2 of 3)
At first, Tony Alvarez said, things seemed to be running smoothly. But he soon noticed that his partners were spending much of their time with a strange visitor, a Cuban with a shattered jaw and a strangled voice ''like that of a deaf-mute,'' giving their guest free rein to make phone calls from the office to El Salvador, Venezuela, Honduras, Spain and the United States.
Eventually, Mr. Alvarez said, his partners confided to him that the visitor was the infamous Luis Posada Carriles, known to his friends by the ironic nickname Bambi. His other noms de guerre include Solo, in honor of the dashing spy character in the 1960's television series ''The Man from Uncle,'' and Lupo, an acronym meaning wolf in Italian. As events rapidly made clear, Mr. Posada's main interest was not in making money or helping Guatemala rebuild, but in waging his own private war on Cuba and Fidel Castro.
At the office one day early last year, Mr. Alvarez recalled, Mr. Posada came by and handed out ''a thick wad of hundred-dollar bills'' to his partners. They, in turn, ''were going to an electronics store and buying detonators and small calculators with timers'' of the type that could be used with bombs, he said.
That was suspicious enough, Mr. Alvarez said. But his biggest surprise came when he found explosives in an office closet.
''In a plastic bag,'' he recalled, ''they had 23 tubes of stuff made by the Mexican military industry, supposed to be the latest in explosive materials in the world. I saw it.'' In addition to Mr. Posada, two Guatemalans, whom Mr. Alvarez identified as Marlon Gonzalez and Jorge Rodriguez, began to frequent the office. Both men were introduced to him as friends and former army buddies of Mr. Burgos. During a recent interview, Mr. Posada said they were his bomb makers who joined his cause because ''that was how to make the big bucks.''
Efforts to contact the two men here were unsuccessful. Mr. Posada said he had learned in May that Mr. Gonzalez had been murdered. Asked why and by whom, he replied: ''Who knows? He talked too much.''
Mr. Burgos denied that he had ever met either of the two men Mr. Posada identified as bomb makers; he acknowledged that a previous job on military road projects had given him access to Guatemalan Army explosives warehouses.
In April 1997, the first reports of an explosion in the discotheque of Havana's most fashionable hotel, the Melia Cohiba, were published in Miami. Those accounts were promptly denied by the Cuban Government, which relies on tourism as its principal source of hard currency.
Over the next five months, however, nearly a dozen explosions occurred at hotels, restaurants and discotheques in Havana and the chic beach resort of Varadero. Cuba was forced to acknowledge the attacks.
All told, Mr. Posada said, it took ''maybe a month or two'' to organize the bombings.
Asked how the explosives had been smuggled in, Mr. Posada laughed and replied: ''You know what a circus is? Inside an elephant.''
It was a cryptic remark, but perhaps a true one. A Salvadoran arrested by Cubans and charged in several of the bombings had worked for a private security agency in El Salvador. According to his mother, one of his assignments was protecting a Mexican circus that toured Central America and later traveled to Cuba.
Tony Alvarez said he had overheard talk about another possible smuggling route. ''Posada, Pepe and Jose talked about the success of the bombs they sent to Cuba,'' he said. ''They also talked about a senior mechanic who works for Aviateca who travels frequently to Cuba and who has been helping them.'' Aviateca, the Guatemalan airline, flies to Havana.
At another point, he added, his partners offered his secretary ''an all-expenses-paid trip to Cuba in a five-star hotel, in return for which all she had to do was deliver a package to a certain person who would come to the hotel to meet her.'' According to Mr. Alvarez, the secretary declined, ''because she didn't want to be involved in anything that appeared dishonest or illegal.''
Intercepting a Fax, And Seeking Help
Then, in August, at the height of the bombing campaign in Cuba, Tony Alvarez said, he intercepted the fax that Mr. Posada had sent from El Salvador and signed Solo.
Mr. Posada acknowledged that he had written the document, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times from a Venezuelan official. The fax refers to a problem Mr. Posada had at the time: the reluctance of American news organizations to take seriously the claims of Miami exile groups that bombs were going off in Cuba.
''If there is no publicity, the job is useless,'' the message read. ''The American newspapers publish nothing that has not been confirmed. I need all the data from the discotheque in order to try to confirm it. If there is no publicity, there is no payment.''
The message also discussed payments for bombings, saying that money would be ''sent by Western Union from New Jersey'' to ''liquidate the account for the hotel.'' The document instructed Pepe Alvarez to collect electronic transfers of $800 each from four Cuban exiles there.

Hi there!
I've recently managed to get your plugin, but there are two things that concern me:
First, after turning on, wordpress informs, that plugin calls 2 unexpected "headers already sent" errors, but I don't see any further trouble with it.
Second one: plugin added ?> to the top of my blog, and admin area (just over the left menu). Should I worry?
