So this summer my cousin and i were snap-chatting this guy named zach and well zach tries getting with anyone he can. so he asked my cousin and i for a threesome. so we took this as a chance to play a joke which we tend to do a lot. so we told him yes but we were going to tell him we were trans right before we did it. So we got all dolled up and met him at the golf course parking lot a half mile away from my cousins house. he met us there and we were talking outside his truck for like two minutes and we couldn't tell him we were trans so my cousin pretended to be drunk but I'm a terrible liar so i couldn't.
so we got in his truck and were driving around for a good twenty minutes so we decided to go down this dirt road and he stopped his truck and told my cousin to get out of the truck so she did and he climbed in the back seat and told me to so i asked why and he said so we could talk well i got in the back and he grabbed me and tarted kissing me and then grabbing my boobs and pussy he then took off my shirt and bikini top then my shorts and swimsuit bottoms i then took off his clothes his dick was huge i then started sucking it and then he layed me down on the seat and spread my legs they went really far because I'm a cheerleader and extremely flexible so he found the hole but it took him a long time but he finally found it it was really hard to fuck because it was really small but he finally came.
then i got dressed and he opened the door to tell my cousin to come back she got back in the truck and he was driving us home and he decide to call his best friend the guy i had a thing with and tell him so that didn't end well but we still fuck almost everyday after cheer and football practice.

Bentonite, as well as psyllium shell grain it also such as pills – considering that not everyone likes to combine a shake of these pair of active ingredients. Bentonite and also psyllium shell powder are actually more commonly used as a component of colon cleansing systems. When you buy such a general intestine cleaning system, you get to make sure that our experts were actually frequently also a probiotic – which currently on the next factor…
Probiotics are digestive favorable probiotics of microorganisms that interact with – so that help effectively cleanse on human health and well-being in several ways. There are several hundred forms of microorganisms in the digestive tract. Each one has a personal make-up of the digestive bacteria and therefore a special intestinal flora – based on the digestive flora of moms and dads but also based on personal food products and lifestyle.
Some intestinal tract micro-organisms – they are actually called Firmicutes – black mask result in maintaining that some of the fiber really indigestible to dietary carbohydrates are actually decomposed and therefore the calories deliver the physical body. Simply put, you think that you consume rough thread, but after which end up being personal intestinal tract of plants that, which you simply do not prefer: glucose and body fat. Don't be surprised that does not work eliminate! So, although you can rarely consume anything. But certainly not everyone has Royal Black Mask FRANCE the exact same Firmicutes high number.
Who has been discovered who chooses overweight people to hold this group digestive germs in their digestive tract. Thin people, however, possess couple of Firmicutes microorganisms, for so called Bacteroidetes multiplied microorganisms. These microorganisms can certainly not easily metabolize wire feed, so no more extra fat on the hips can settle down. Fibres are excreted undigested in these people. They were slow, they could black mask out of the ruckizucki. But they are indeed not just dense.
This simply creates this makes good sense to take probiotic supplements, if you intend to lose weight. The objective is now actually the intestinal vegetation really needs to be changed, that the "dense" Firmicutes are actually grown back and as an alternative that the "lean" Bacteroidetes regulate.
Helping to make a partner – so your digestive vegetation, but also the weight management end up being a little game! To pass from how you can "plant" could teach your intestinal flora in the path as well as diet, in the really intriguing book "slim as well as intestinal" by Dr Michaela hache black mask Gadermann.
As indicated in paragraphs 7 and 8, a premium quality digestive tract cleaning course has a probiotic, bentonite and also psyllium shell grain. At the same time to understand all the benefits of these 3 parts, you need to make a digestive tract clean up everything that is actually cheaper to buy as black mask the 3 drugs individually.
10 dispose of capsaicin with magnesium. Capsaicin is the hot black mask things of Chiles, the very ground chili pepper are actually called. Capsaicin results in an increase in body system temperature and stimulates energy consumption. Similarly, capsaicin hinders cravings and accelerates fat loss – more precisely 135 milligrams of capsaicin each day together.
Mixed with magnesium minerals you can further increase the beneficial effect on weight reduction. Since insufficient magnesium prevents weight loss. Magnesium deficiency, however, attracts blood glucose level fluctuations and these then to eat spells, which are really notoriously not useful if you want to lose weight. They are also usually only mineral magnesium diets only arms – as well as products out of the supermarket finished supermarket.
Therefore, it makes sense to inspect the personal magnesium mineral feed if you wish to drop the weight successfully. It is noted that the diet is quite low in magnesium, you can have a mineral magnesium supplement and therefore also among other things activate the metabolism. Magnesium minerals black mask ensures weight loss, after weight loss

Breaking News Emails
The radical DeltaWing race car created quite a buzz when it made its debut a few years back, and this equally radical 4-passenger car concept is likely to stir things up even more.
DeltaWing said company executives have been meeting with auto manufacturers to discuss ways to use some of its concepts in a production vehicle.
Developed by the Georgia-based DeltaWing Technologies, the prototype features a narrow, windswept nose and ultra-light construction to significantly improve fuel economy without sacrificing performance. Whether potential buyers take to the unusual design remains to be seen, but aerodynamics and "lightweighting" have become critical to the industry's efforts to meet the tough 54.5 mpg federal fuel economy standards going into effect in 2025.
"Many of the aerodynamic, lightweight and handling benefits of the race car can translate to the street," said DeltaWing Chairman Don Panoz. "We are competing at the highest levels of road racing with half the weight, half the horsepower, and nearly half of the fuel consumption."
Designed by Ben Bowlby and unleashed during the 2011 endurance race in Le Mans, the DeltaWing race car challenged traditional thinking with its unusual, dart-like design. Initially run in a short-lived partnership with Nissan, the race car was able to run on a much smaller engine than its typical competitor, largely due to the design's reduced aerodynamic drag.
The basic shape carries over to the sedan prototype which features smaller front wheels than those in back, while also opting for a rear-engine powertrain layout that shifts the center of gravity significantly to the back to lower weight on those downsized tires while also minimizing rolling resistance.
The firm claims the design could be used to meet the 2025 Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE standard, something many in the industry have questioned, without the need to significantly downsize the current U.S. automotive fleet.

This talk will compare two different conceptualisations of domain expansion in mathematics, as exemplified by Kenneth Manders and, among others, Richard Dedekind, respectively. After presenting how Manders' ideas relate to the common model-theoretic notions of existentially closed models and model completeness of theories, we argue that the framework yields problematic assessments of some paradigmatic examples of domain expansion. We then move on to the question of how these examples are handled in Dedekind's framework, and then use the results of this analysis to assess the merits of Manders' proposal.

Review by Stephen Cook
Taking a tip from George Shearing, Martin Denny cruised through most of the '60s with a slew of bossa nova and jazz cocktail albums. Denny's late-'50s exotica records had established him as a name to reckon with in bachelor pad circles, but were only good for a limited stretch. Denny didn't forsake this period completely, though, when he turned to jazz; on this release at least, one hears bits of his earlier South Seas and Hawaiian backdrops in the bongo accompaniment and occasional leftfield percussion accent. Other factors to consider are Cal Tjader and Dave Brubeck, both of whom Denny pays homage to by covering their respective numbers "Black Orchid" and "Take Five." As both Tjader and Shearing did on many recordings, Denny and company raise these cuts and their version of "A Taste of Honey" beyond the confines of kitsch by way of some top-notch ensemble playing. The whole album, for that matter, is well played, but things do go south a bit towards the end as the band slips into background music mode. This is not to say that versions of war horses like "Exodus" and "Claire de Lune" aren't enjoyable, or even tailored made for entertaining guests, but they don't offer much in the way of exotic thrills or rarefied touches. Still, A Taste of Honey should resonate with dedicated Denny fans; and since there has to be at least a few gems on each of the several lounge jazz records Denny released, someone should put together a compilation covering this period as a compliment to Rhino's exotica-era collection.

Gonzalo Gerardo Higuaín (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡonˈsalo iɣwaˈin], born 10 December 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker for Italian club Juventus.
Nicknamed El Pipita or Pipa,[2] as was his father, Jorge, who was also a footballer, Gonzalo Higuaín was born in France, attaining Argentine citizenship in 2007, and now holds dual nationality.[3][4] He started his career with Argentine club River Plate, before a transfer to Real Madrid in January 2007 for €12 million. His time in Spain saw him win honours including three La Liga titles, and score 107 goals in 190 league appearances. He joined Italian side Napoli for €40 million in the summer of 2013, where he won the Coppa Italia during his first season. In the 2015–16 season, he scored 36 league goals, winning the Capocannoniere title and equalling Gino Rossetti's 87-year-old record for goals in an Italian top-flight season. As a result of his goal scoring exploits in Naples, Italian champions Juventus signed him for €90 million in 2016, making him the most expensive South American footballer of all time; his transfer fee was the highest ever paid by an Italian team and also the highest of a player transferring within any domestic league.[5]
Higuaín has been a full international for Argentina since 2009; he has represented the country at two FIFA World Cups and three Copa América tournaments, helping them to second-place finishes at the 2014 World Cup, the 2015 Copa América and the Copa América Centenario in 2016.

In "Natural Gas and Climate Change: It's Policy that Matters," Council on Foreign Relations energy and environment fellow Michael A. Levi writes: … The lesson for people who care about climate change should be simple. Focus on constraining gas supplies, and even if you win, you're unlikely to effect much change. Concentrate on demand side policy and your odds of victory may be longer, but a win will be far more worthwhile.

BELLIGERENT PIANO WEEKLY STRIP, EPISODE #26August 25, 2010
BELLIGERENT PIANO "SMOKE SIGNAL" INSTALLMENT, #2August 21, 2010
SMOKE SIGNAL is truly a great comics anthology currently being produced through Desert Island in Brooklyn, NY (for more information, go to: http://www.desertislandbrooklyn.com) – absolutely democratic in it's intent: Which is to publish the well-known alongside the very talented but not (yet) so well known comic artists at large. I've been producing installments of Belligerent Piano in SMOKE SIGNAL. Below is the the most recent intro page to the second installment:
…and here's what a full page of the installment plus the intro looks like:
BELLIGERENT PIANO WEEKLY STRIP, EPISODE #25August 18, 2010
BELLIGERENT PIANO WEEKLY STRIP, EPISODE #24August 9, 2010
"THE PASSENGER" SHORT FILMAugust 9, 2010
…Well, maybe not a film exactly: I think of it more as an audio-visual experiment based on one of the new short stories meant for FOLKTALES, called the PASSENGER. You can see the original comic version in the spring issue of MOME. You might notice that in earlier posts, The PASSENGER has been adapted to a spoken-word "radio drama". The below "film" is something of an adaptation of an adaptation – a collaborative piece put together by my partner-in-crime, Franklin Oros, and myself. All credits are indicated at the end of the short, so I won't state them here. But, again, the principal idea here is to expand on character and story, increasing the amount of nuance and subtlety allowed for the reader/viewer/story-recipient to collect in order to create their own unique vision of the story. Ultimately, the idea is to give you a bunch of puzzle pieces, from which you create an imagined version of the story. Or, as Joey would put it: "Blah, blah, blah, blah…."
Here's the leather coat illustration from the film. I drew it in my sketchbook and it made its way into the film:
And speaking of sketchbook drawings – on a completely unrelated topic – here's a drawing of the 1963 Corvair that I almost bought this summer, if it hadn't been for the wisdom of my close friend and fellow artist, Ron Laboray, who pointed out with extraordinary detail just what a pile of lousy crap it was (exhaust pluming into the cabin: A death trap, sadly, in more ways than one). I owe Ron my life, literally. But I've always been a Corvair fan, and this one was difficult for me to pass up (note the various haiku I wrote in homage to the loss!). Why do I always fall in love with such cars? This is the second time I tried to buy a corvair. The first time was when I was in my mid twenties. The car was 1967 Corvair with the funkiest automatic transmission system I'd ever seen. Similar problem, though: Exhaust leak into the cabin. Apparently a common problem with air-cooled engines (the Corvair's engine was in the back, like a Volkswagon Bug; the Corvair had the distinction of being the first and last American car ever to try a rear-engine set-up.) PS: Thanks again, Ron, for saving my life.
THE COWBOY'S LAMENTAugust 5, 2010
As with other elements of the BELLIGERENT PIANO story (as with ongoing audio/audio-visual/multimedia explorations for stories in FOLKTALES), I'm experimenting with various ways in which the characters from the tale might be expanded or elaborated upon through the use of mediums other than comics proper (please see MTH OF JACK RADIO HOUR posts previously included in the BELLIGERENT PIANO category of this blog). Below is a very rough, first shot recording elaborating on the character of "the Cowboy", who as of yet remains nameless (and possibly will always remain so, depending how far I want to push the homage to Eastwood and Sergio Leone). I recently read this piece live at NOIR AT THE BAR (just last night, in fact), so I quickly decided to record it, as well. I'm sure Frank Oros and I will refine, collaborate on it, and very possibly turn it into something new altogether….but I'm excited by this rough recording, so I want to share it with you. Think of it as an inside glimpse into the process of expanding nuanced layers of a character and the conceptual cross-pollination from one medium to another. Incidentally, if you're currently following the BELLIGERENT PIANO weekly strip, you'll notice that this piece is an elaboration on exactly what is happening in that narrative. Although neither are exactly the same, they compliment one another and occupy the same space in time. Below are both the recording and the original written word text:
The sweaty toad is crying now;
the cowboy can hear his fragile,
effeminate sobs rising up from under
the barrel of his Smith & Wesson M&P
Victory Model –
the officer's revolver Smith & Wesson
manufactured to commemorate the Allied
victory over the Nazis and the Japs
as yesterday's war came to its
abysmal close.
Meanwhile, the toad, down on his knees,
hands clasped behind his back, begins to
press his tongue gingerly to the tip of the
cowboy's brand new snake skin boots.
"Now I want you to clean the sterling toe
of my boot," the cowboy instructed,
"I want you to clean it with yer tongue."
The cowboy's boots were of the elaborately
decked out Cadillac variety: A beautifully
handcrafted mix of embossed and etched
sterling, embroidered leather, snakeskin,
and hubris.
…the toad is sweating profusely,
sniffing back the tears.
Some people secretly wish to be
humiliated, and there's always
somebody willing to accommodate.
People of opposite-but-similar needs
have an uncanny way of finding each other
in this windblown life.
…but the cowboy isn't thinking about that;
the whimpering fearful groans of the
grown man on his knees before him might
just as well have been a radio show playing
crackly from another room.
No, the cowboy is thinking about
something else entirely…
He's thinking about Vera,
the accordion player,
the songbird
who he saw earlier that night.
….He's thinking about her sweet tune,
the one filled with the words he didn't understand,
but somehow it didn't matter.
…He's trying to think of whom she reminds him of.
Gene Tierney? Jane Greer? Lauren Bacall?
He knew all of these women intimately:
He was an avid moviegoer;
didn't matter what the picture was about.
Anyway maybe it was Veronica Lake,
although she doesn't particularly look like her.
No, it was something else –
something likeable
and vulnerable
and illusive,
something otherworldly –
something he didn't have the tongue
to articulate.
He's thinking about Corrina,
that girl he'd known in Fayette,
who he'd stop in to see from time to time back then;
that precious porcelain Jane who finally off'd herself
without ever leaving a note.
His mind stretches like an urban weed
all that distance without losing
a single willowed detail.
He's thinking about life before the war;
about those dusty tumbleweed winds;
those raven clouds cascading
like thunderstorm ghosts
above the flattened wastelands,
blotting out the sun over
Dodge City in 1935…
the year Kansas was swallowed
by the Apocalypse
and the Wizard of Oz
and suffering and suffering and suffering…
He's thinking about the black plumes of soot
covering the withered and barren fields
that once had prospered…
those black plumes of soot
that filled the depressed lungs
of leathered old men
with the black remains
of once-fertile topsoil.
He remembers the sting of that dirt
carried by the violent, determined wind;
he remembers it ripping at his sweaty skin
like pellet-like shards of icy-hot glass
as it blew westward toward the mountains,
taking with it histories
and tightly-bound families and legends;
folktales, businesses, towns, livestock,
hopes, dreams.
…and he could've sworn he'd felt the spirits
of those families who'd perished
in those rolling billows of black dust
blowing right through his chest,
tattering his clothes,
warning him that it was time to press on,
catch-out, beat it out of town.
He knew it was time to leave;
it was time to find something
else to do to earn his keep.
He was a true son of the cracked earth
and busted-down fallen weathervanes.
The prodigal son of the prairies
and gold fields and farmhouse clotheslines.
But all of that was gone now.
He remembers the dead cattle carcasses,
tents of bone covered in empty hides;
he remembers the sign on the fence posts
that read:
And without knowing it, he'd left himself there,
left himself for dead.
Those were the days of a different chapter in his life;
now he was something else,
something that he himself was afraid of.
Because something important of himself was buried
beneath that dust or had blown
like flakes of gold into an oblivion
of the ever-changing, eternal earth.
…. He's thinking about the suit he just bought
with the money he'd earned,
and how hard it had been to find a clothing shop
that sold suits in the western fashion.
He's thinking about his new bolo tie –
the one with the bull's head dead embossed into it
like a silver coin;
the one he bought instead of
the Gene Autry ribbon variety.
Gene Autry, he thought, had always been
a little too flamboyant in his opinion,
but he liked Autry's taste in two-tone shirts
and elaborately embroidered boots.
After all, even cowboys have a sense of fashion.
And every western man, like any other man,
needs at least one sharp Saturday night
honky-tonk suit.
…He's thinking about peace and quiet;
about the way things sometimes are.
…he'd had enough of idiots and sinners;
he'd had enough of himself.
He's thinking about peace and quiet
and the warmth of a woman's arms.
Not just any woman's arms:
A woman of poetry,
a woman of the earth and salt
and incomprehensible words.
Someone musical.
Someone who didn't talk too much.
He's thinking of all the weary miles
between himself and his salvation.
…. He'd had it bad and he'd had it good;
he'd been rich and poor:
Now he was just trying to get to Heaven
before they closed the door.

As some of you may have heard, the last few days in New York City have been ridiculously, insanely hot (and please keep in mind that I grew up in a tropical island so I am not spooked by heat easily). To make matters worse, I live on the top floor of my building which means that my apartment is always about 100 degrees warmer than outside. Insane. That means that I've had to really work with my clothes to find things that won't cause me to melt while I'm outside. I've found that when I pair down my outfits, I end up with this slightly retro feeling outfits, and you know what? I like it!
Foolproof outfit, for sure. When I don't feel like dressing up but I don't want to look like a total slob, I grab my most favorite Blood is the New Black tee by Milano Chow. I totally forgot I had this shirt because I packed it so well when I moved last September and then rediscovered it a couple of months ago (yeah, I know, I have too many clothes), it has slight puffy sleeves and a rounded neck and makes me feel instantly fancy. Tucked into a high-waisted skirt and worn with my sweet saddle shoes I felt like a total Pink Lady.
Today I ended up with a slight 40's vibe, but it was just an excuse to wear these cool wooden mules that I brought back from home two weeks ago. I got the at Betsey Johnson sometime in 1999 when I helped them open a store in Puerto Rico. I don't think I had worn them since then, but when I went home they seemed like the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe. They're bit narrow so I have to stretch them a bit, but they're weird and playful and that's just how I love my shoes.

The late-night circuit is usually a well-oiled Hollywood hype machine through which movie stars and hot-shot directors can safely plug their latest films. Every once in a while, though, things go off the rails, a phenomenon that seems to happen with a bit more frequency on Letterman, whose arched detachment can allow those moments to play out in all their awkward glory.
In honor of the "Late Show" host's announcement that he plans to retire in 2015, here are five of the most memorable movie guests to grace Letterman's couch. If there's a common thread running through these appearances — other than Letterman's acerbic wit — it's that in the world of late-night TV, one doesn't need an enduring movie to make a lasting impression.
Drew Barrymore
Back in 1995, Drew Barrymore was sporting close-cropped, bleach-blond locks and playing crazy girls in movies like "Mad Love" and "Boys on the Side" when she gave Letterman an infamous birthday present.
After regaling Letterman with tales of a "nude art performance dance place" run by a woman named Ute, the 20-year-old actress hopped up on his desk, gyrated for a moment and flashed the late-night host, who was rendered briefly, uncharacteristically speechless.
When Letterman finally came to, he deadpanned, "Remember the night Morley Safer was here [and] pulled the same thing?"
Crispin Glover
Before Letterman made the move to CBS, he hosted NBC's "Late Night With David Letterman," a show on which "Back to the Future" actor Crispin Glover became an unlikely nemesis. Glover's first of three bizarre appearances came in 1987, when the actor was promoting "River's Edge" but showed up in character as an awkward young man from the "Rubin and Ed"--and a character unknown to most viewers.
After challenging Letterman to an arm-wrestling match, Glover demonstrated his karate prowess and nearly kicked Letterman in the face, prompting the host to walk off and saying he was "going to check on the Top 10."
Glover returned to the show about a month later and was awkwardly giddy, prompting Letterman to say, "You know, you're seconds way from being slapped," before adding, "I'm just kidding."
Finally, in 1990, Glover came back on "Late Night" and claimed that it was a doppelganger, not him, who appeared the previous two times.
Harmony Korine
Korine's spacey behavior and non sequiturs frequently exasperated Letterman, who in the '95 interview said, "You know, I could pretty much have this conversation by myself," and quipped in '98, "This, by the way, is why they invented childproof caps."
Last year, "Spring Breakers" star James Franco visited "The Late Show" and persuaded Letterman to reveal that Korine was once banned from the show when, during a planned fourth appearance, he was supposedly caught rifling through Meryl Streep's purse.
Joaquin Phoenix
Having announced he was retiring from acting to pursue a career as a rapper, Joaquin Phoenix showed up on "The Late Show" in 2009 in dark sunglasses and a heavy beard, then offered only mumbled, monosyllabic responses to Letterman's questions.
Making the most of the moment, Letterman famously remarked, "Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight." Meanwhile, the film Joaquin was ostensibly promoting, James Gray's "Two Lovers," got short shrift.
More than a year later, a clean-shaven Phoenix returned to the show to apologize — and to promote the spoof documentary that inspired his stunt, "I'm Still Here."
Lindsay Lohan
More recently, Letterman spent nearly 15 minutes chiding "The Canyons" and "Scary Movie V" star Lindsay Lohan, who rather gamely parried his gags about her court-ordered rehab.
At one point, Letterman grabbed his pages of notes and asked if he could run down "a list of things you've endured." Lohan asked to see the list first, and Letterman obliged. Glancing at the pages, the actress laughed and protested, "I thought you were going to be nice!"
Letterman gestured and gleefully offered, "These are the appetizers up here, these are the main courses, there's your desserts down at the bottom." Later in the chat, he commended Lohan for having "enough spine, enough sense of yourself, enough poise to come out here and talk to me." What a softie.

When you think of potential and upside the name that comes to mind is Jermaine Samuels the 6'7" shooting guard has been a name that has been in the national media for quite some time.
Nationally ranked amongst the top 25 prospects in the country, Samuels is generally known for his athletic ability while attacking the rim. This year he has improved his game and skill set leaps and bounds. His jump-shot has been one of his go to moves as of recent, with him being more confident with his jump-shot he now has defenders guessing what he will do offensively.
"My goal this season is to become a better leader, while taking ownership in the things I do, and hopefully bring an ISL championship to Rivers" says Samuels
As a player who wants to play at the next level, naturally you envision how you would want your game to resemble, Samuels states "Paul George, he does a lot of things well"
Currently Samuels holds offers from the defending national champions UCONN, Boston College, Boston University, and URI. He has also heard from the likes of Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, Syracuse, UCLA, V Tech, and Stanford to name a few.
"Unanimous College Coach " Jermaine is the real deal, he has one of the best motors I have seen in my 19+ years coaching, he will be a high major player when its all said and done,
Rivers plays at the 2015 Hoop Dreams Magazine Prep Classic Jan 10-11, 2015 at Bunker Hill Community College and all eyes will be on Samuels & Co. to show that they have what it takes as a program to compete at the highest level against some of the best in the NEPSAC. – See more at:

Van Susteren vs. Sharpton…
The Wrap's Jordan Chariton talks to Greta Van Susteren who has a few things to say about Al Sharpton over Ferguson…
"I think Al Sharpton has injected himself way into it, and I think he has poured gasoline on the fire," Van Susteren told The Wrap. "I'm so disappointed in Al Sharpton because he has the platform to heal, and he hasn't done that — he actually could have done some good. He certainly hasn't helped matters."
"I'm a friend of Rachel Maddow's, it's just I'm driving home at night by that time, so I miss her show, but I won't watch MSNBC because for the life of me, I don't understand Al Sharpton sticking his nose into it and being part of the story."
Can't argue with Greta on this…

It remains simply amazing that Al Sharpton has his own show. On TV. Broadcast by a major network. With the letters NBC in it. Wow.
No wonder Chuck Todd is stuck in the basement behind a dead guy and a former Clinton operative.
^ And yes, count me among those who would rather watch the former Clinton operative and creator of the faux "War on Women™" than the MSNBC Sunday that is MTP.

I can argue with Sharpton's placement on MSNBC, but I sure as hell can't argue with why he "stuck his nose in Ferguson". I swear, sometimes white people can exhibit an astonishing lack of awareness of African-American history and issues sometimes.

I think Sharpton is the worst host on MSNBC – by a lot – and that says a lot when you have MHP, Schultz and JDB on the network. But FNC has a number of hosts that are just as bad as Sharpton. Pirro, Hannity and anyone on F&F come to mind. Even CNN has a few bad hosts. Lemon and Cuomo are good examples.
The thing is they all have audiences and supporters; some on this blog. It depends on what you want in a host. I'll agree it's amazing that Sharpton has his own show, but it's just as amazing that Pirro and Lemon have their own shows too.
There have been bad hosts on cable news networks, and people b*tching about them, since Ted Turner invented the concept. My guess is there will bad hosts, and people b*tching about them, until cable news nets are just a memory – which may not be that far in the future.
Nobody is in Sharpton's class. I don't even know when Pirro is on. Actually, I didn't even know she had a show. It sure isn't anywhere near primetime. And Lemon is nowhere near Sharpton either.
He's in a class all his own.

"count me among those who would rather watch the former Clinton operative…than the MSNBC Sunday that is MTP."
^^MTP is a disaster, and I really hate to say that as I love Chuck Todd and was really hoping he would be allowed to overhaul the program.
The only thing new on MTP, beside Todd, is the set – and it's not as good as the old one. Todd is trying but he just can't overcome the terrible format, gimmicks, talking point spouting guests and panels filled with political hacks arguing political spin endlessly over each other and the host. There is the occasional interesting interview or segment but mostly it's crap.
They need to do what they promised and take the show back to it's roots. Call out the guests when they spin obvious talking points with proof they are lying (Perhaps a segment at the end of the show that fact checks the BS spouted by guests and panelists) and eliminate pundits from the panels. There is a very good example of what a good panel discussion looks like on PBS's Washington Week. The MTP panels now look like another PBS panel show – The McLaughlin Group.

People can complain about Sharpton as a cable news host all they want – I can't stand Politics Nation – but acting bewildered that a civil rights activist is involved in a civil rights action is just ignorant.
joeremi Says:
December 2, 2014 at 8:15 pm
Claiming Jeanine Pirro is irrelevant because you don't know she's on Fox weekend primetime is silly.
fritz3 Says:
December 2, 2014 at 8:17 pm
"He's in a class all his own."
^^I'm not disagreeing but my problem with Sharpton isn't his politics; it's his performance. It's amateur hour.
I definitely dislike NBC & MTP more than I dislike Chuck Todd as I don't actually dislike him. But, he's not a strong enough presence, IMO, to host MTP.
And, Lemon catches a lot of flack but I can't help but like the guy. Black holes and all.
fritz3 Says:
December 2, 2014 at 9:23 pm
"he's not a strong enough presence"
^^In the right format Todd works fine. He was great on the Daily Rundown. But if it's presence you want John Stewart would be your guy. I would have loved to see him take on some of the blowhards and idiots Chuck has to deal with on MTP. It would be a ratings bonanza.
I think you're way off regarding stewart.
fritz3 Says:
December 2, 2014 at 9:28 pm
"Lemon catches a lot of flack but I can't help but like the guy."
^^Lemon tries to be something he's not – Anderson Cooper. He's fine doing puff pieces on the latest Kardashian scandal but he should never be in a war zone like Ferguson. He just doesn't have the gravitas.
fritz3 Says:
December 2, 2014 at 9:36 pm
"I think you're way off regarding stewart."
^^ You don't like his politics so I understand why he's not your type of host and I would have agreed with you a month ago. But he was a revelation, to me at least, when I watched some of the interviews he gave for the movie he just opened about a Canadian prisoner in Iran. No BS and very little humor. Just a lot of smart dialog about the subject being discussed and tough exchanges with a few not up to snuff interviewers. He would have been the perfect host for MTP; hated by both liberal and conservative guests and pundits.
joeremi Says:
December 2, 2014 at 10:08 pm
Stewart was like that on his book tour about 8 years ago, too. I saw a Q&A session with an audience on C-SPAN, and I think most of the crowd was taken aback by his blunt, serious, and often "pox on all their houses" answers. The "Jon Stewart" of The Daily Show is almost as much of a TV character as "Stephen Colbert".
Todds wife is now advising the Jim Webb possible presidential run.
Al Says:

John Stewart plays a role on his cable show and he's admitted as much more than once. Not "fake", his is a smart performance.
Al Sharpton also performs on his cable show, and some of that probably is fake. That so many don't like him as a host is because they are not the intended audience. His activism long ago crossed the line into performance that is always in need of a cause for which to rally so to perform his craft and maintain his stature. Many preachers have been performing the same way in one form or another for centuries. They, too, often caused just as much harm as good in the process so that negative shouldn't all be on his shoulders.

You can not compare Sharpton with Pirro. Sharpton is on 5 days a week in prime time while Pirro is on one night on the weekend. Since when is that any basis for comparison?
fritz3 Says:

"You can not compare Sharpton with Pirro. Sharpton is on 5 days a week in prime time while Pirro is on one night on the weekend. Since when is that any basis for comparison?"
^^I'm sorry but that's a ridiculous comment.
A host's airtime, the days they are on, the network they work for and/or the ratings the host gets don't make a host liberal or conservative, an activist or a good performer. Airtime and ratings have little to do with a hosts skill, ideology or political activism. They are a measure of the hosts popularity with audiences and/or his employers. Lots of bad hosts get good ratings and/or lots of airtime and visa versa.
RE Stewart:
It's not just his politics, it's his shtick. He's the kid in school who would continually talk trash to the bigger kids and when the bigger kids had enough it's "Dude, relax, I was just kidding". That's his whole "I'm just a comedian" routine. It's tiresome. He sits in the cheap seats and lobs hand grenades but when he's confronted about something he weasels out with the "comedian" thing.
He could be the exact same guy but from the right side of the spectrum and he'd be universally hated as opposed to glorified.
I just don't like him. It's not all about politics. I don't watch the mediaite clips when he's going after somebody on the left either. To me, he's just an elitist punk.
wipam Says:
December 3, 2014 at 8:36 am
Oh please fritz. Having someone on in prime time M – F says the management of that station likes what they have to say and want them to get bodies in front of the screen 5 dusts a week. To say that Pirro compares with that kind of messaging desire when she is on 1 night, a Saturday night no less says something very different.
I NEVER said it had anything to do with wether a host is conservative or liberal. It is about the ratings you are trying to get. Reading comprehension is a skill learned in elementary school.
joeremi Says:
December 3, 2014 at 8:55 am
Sharpton is not in primetime, and Pirro's several airings over weekends probably get better ratings than his 5 weekdays. Basing a conversation on each's ratings is folly.
fritz3 Says:
December 3, 2014 at 9:29 am
"Having someone on in prime time M – F says the management of that station likes what they have to say"
^^Exactly. I said "They (ratings and schedule) are a measure of the hosts popularity with audiences and/or his employers." They don't change his/her ideology or make them a better performer.
Sharpton and Pirro are both on the air because of their beliefs, popularity with their bases and with their bosses; not because they are great hosts. Is your argument is that Pirro is less ideological and politically active than Sharpton because she has less airtime?
fritz3 Says:
December 3, 2014 at 9:42 am
"It's not just his politics, it's his shtick."
^^As joe and al pointed out that's just a character on his show. If you see him when not playing the role of 'comedic cynical commentator on the news' he's a totally different personality.
"I just don't like him."
^^That doesn't make him unqualified to do the job. NBC bosses certainly thought he was qualified and were willing to take the risk of him failing.
I don't like Dennis Miller and his shtick and I also don't think he's qualified (and I doubt FOX does either) to give him Chris Wallace's Sunday slot. It's all about the talent.
fritz3 Says:
December 3, 2014 at 11:17 am
"Well I think NBC bosses have proven themselves to have questionable judgement. After all they wanted John Stewart for MTP! That may excite lefties but that's about it." (moved from Snyderman post)
^^Totally disagree. Stewart would have provided huge ratings, particularly in the demo, and it's not just my opinion he would have been a very good host as well.
The experiment may have failed in the end but I think the odds are good he would have done really well as a MTP host; provided he was the person making decisions on the shows format. If the format was chosen by the same idiots that are ruining it for Todd then who knows.

AkzoNobel recently announced plans to optimize the manufacturing footprint of its Coil Coatings sites in Europe and Russia by concentrating production at three strategic sites.
The company intends to improve operational performance by focusing all European manufacturing for the Coil Coatings business on plants in Malmö (Sweden), Lipetsk (Russia) and Hilden (Germany). As a result of these plans, production at sites in Gamleby (Sweden) and Nürnberg (Germany) would end by June 2015.
"By focusing production on strategic sites that are close to our customers and manufacture products for more than one business, we will create a more efficient footprint and establish a more sustainable platform for future growth," said Conrad Keijzer, AkzoNobel's Executive Committee member responsible for Performance Coatings.
The transfer is scheduled to start in early 2014. Current manufacturing at Gamleby will move to Malmö and Lipetsk, while production at Nürnberg will switch to Hilden.
Around 280 employees will be affected, with the company planning to transfer and hire additional people in Hilden, Malmö and Lipetsk. A centralized European development center will also be set up in Malmö.
"Operational excellence is a key priority and moving production to three strategic sites is a logical step which will ensure that we are better positioned to deliver leading performance and accelerate profitable growth," added AB Ghosh, Managing Director of AkzoNobel Industrial Coatings. "These improvements in our supply chain will also enable us to respond even faster to our customers."
AkzoNobel is among the global leaders in coil coating, which is a continuous and highly automated process for coating metal before fabrication. The products are mainly used for building components and infrastructure, as well as for consumer goods such as kitchen appliances. Employees have been informed about the company's plans and discussions with the relevant works councils are already underway.

[Department of State Bulletin, November 29, 1941.]
In response to inquiries as to developments in the Finnish situation, the Secretary of State stated on November 28 that the Finnish note had been given careful consideration but that it had thrown no light upon the question uppermost in the mind of this Government, that is, how far and to what extent the Finnish military policy is one of combined operations of the Germans and Finns vitally to injure Great Britain and her associates and to threaten the northern supply lines over which Russia is now receiving supplies and assistance from Great Britain and the United States to aid Russia in resisting the Hitler forces of invasion and conquest, and to what extent that Finnish policy is a menace to all America's aims for self-defence. The recent journey of the Finnish Foreign Minister to Berlin to join with Hitler's puppet governments over Europe in signing the "Anti-Comintern Pact," used by Hitler solely as an instrument to wage a war of conquest and domination against free peoples, is highly significant and cannot be camouflaged or explained away by propaganda attacks on nations engaged in defending themselves.
The Secretary went on to say that the Department was giving careful attention to all the reports and information which might furnish a definite answer to this question. The concern of this Government, which has been emphasized by the studies made by the War Department and the statement of the Secretary of War on November 25, as to Finnish policy in this regard, has been made abundantly clear to the Finnish Government, the Secretary said.
The Secretary concluded by saying that every act of the Finnish Government since the delivery of its note has confirmed our apprehensions that it is fully cooperating with the Hitler forces.

Hello Law & Order fans!
There are exciting news about the new detectives of season 13 and Mariska Hargitay.
There are rumors everywhere about what will happen in Law & Order: SVU or if it is also going to be cancelled.
A known fact is that Mariska Hargitay alias Olivia Benson will only appear in a recurring capacity and nobody yet knows what will happen in season 14.
The new detectives include known faces such as Danny Pino, known from "Cold Case" who replaces Christopher Meloni in season 12 already, and Kelli Giddish, the star of the failed NBC show "Chase" who is going to join the cast from the 13th season on.
Yet we don't know what their name will be or how their humor is going to be, but we are looking forward to discover that!

This case and several of the articles below were sent to me by Jessy S. Thank you!

[December 8, 1871] -
CASEY CIRCUIT COURT. -- The Winter session of the Casey Circuit Court opened on Monday, 27th ult., with Judge Fox on the bench and Maj. M. H. Owsley for the Commonwealth. The docket was much larger than usual, being upwards of seventy appearances, with a number of old cases hard to compute. Among the distinguished bar-tenders we noted R. P. Jacobs, Jno. S. Vanwinkle, Danville; Robert Lusk, Lancaster; J. W. Alcorn, Wm. H. Miller, R. J. Breckenridge, Jr.; and Robt. Blain, Stanford; John Belden, Lebanon; J. E. Hays and Boyle Stone, Jamestown; Cols. Adams and Wolford, McD. and Jesse Fogle, John D. Page, R. B. Pittman and Andy Williams, Liberty; lawyers enough to throw Paradise into confusion, much less a city like Liberty. Up to this writing the Court has sentenced one man, Nathan R. Thomas, to two years in prison, for resisting a civil officer; fined another, Leroy Napier, one thousand dollars, for striking a woman; and will perhaps pass the death sentence upon the third, Fontaine Young, for murder. [1]
[January 27, 1872] -
The Governor advertises the following rewards: John Bishop, charged with murder in Clay county, $500; Ephraim Brown, indicted for the crime of murder in Ballard Circuit Court, $300; James Henry Bishop, charged with murder in Whitley county, and supposed to be at present in the State of Indiana, $500; Fountain F. Young, charged with murder in Casey county, $500--all of whom are fugitive from justice. [2]
[June 7, 1872] -
Fount Young, accused of the murder of Trusty, in Casey county, and who has been lying in our [Lincoln Co.] jail wounded, for some months, was taken to Liberty last Monday morning to be tried at the present term of the Casey circuit court. [3]
[June 21, 1872] -
Fountain Young, the wounded prisoner who was tried at Liberty this month on a charge of murdering Trusty, was condemned to be hung next September. He is now in our jail awaiting the dreadful day, when his life will pay the penalty incurred by the violation of the laws of God and of man. [4]
[June 28, 1872] -
Capital Punishment.
Lying in our jail, is a wounded man, condemned to death under a verdict and sentence of a court which tried and convicted him of the murder of a fellow-being: Fountain Young, a man of about 45 years of age--with a family of five or six children and a wife who has stood by him "through evil as well as good report," is now condemned to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, by hanging by the neck, until he is dead, on some day in September next. Here he lies, in our rock prison house--awaiting the dreadful day, when his soul will wing its flight to the maker who gave it.
Is it right, in this day of advanced civilization, to take the life of a fellow creature, as a forfeit for the life he stands accused of having taken? Or would it be better and more merciful and just, to imprison him for life, under the charge preferred against him? Let those who would be done by as they would wish others to do by them, decide?
For our part we are, and shall ever be, opposed to capital punishment. It is a miserable relic of the dark and barbarous ages, and should find no advocates in this age of civilization. [5]
[July 19, 1872] -
The Condemned.
Fountain Young, who was condemned to be hung on the 6th day of September next, by the Casey Court, is now in our jail, suffering from the severe wound he received when captured some four months ago. As to his spiritual condition we are not advised. He is "sick and in prison,"--is he visited? [6]
[July 19, 1872] -
The Courier-Journal speaks of Fount Young as "the noted Casey County desperado." [7]
[October 9, 1872] -
Fountain F. Young v. Commonwealth.
5 Ky. Op. 711; 1872 Ky. LEXIS 334
October 9, 1872, Decided
DISPOSITION: Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
COUNSEL: Hill & Alcorn, A. Hensley, Breckenridge, Woolford, for appellant.
JUDGES: Judge Lindsay.
OPINION BY: Lindsay
[*711] Opinion by Judge Lindsay:
Section 239, Criminal Code of Practice, provides that:
"A conviction cannot be had upon the testimony of an accomplice, unless corroborated by other evidence tending to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense; and the corroboration is not sufficient if it merely shows that the offense was committed and the circumstances thereof."
The principal evidence against the appellant was that detailed by an accomplice. Touching the testimony of this witness the court instructed the jury that they should find the defendant guilty if they believed from the testimony of John Young, and other testimony corroborating his testimony, or circumstances tending to connect the defendant with the commission of the act [*712] beyond a reasonable doubt, that he did kill Tinsley [Trusty], procured it to be done or was present, aiding and abetting said killing, although they may believe John Young was an accomplice in said killing.
This instruction authorized the jury to find [**2] the defendant guilty if they believed from what John Young, the accomplice, swore, and other testimony corroborating his evidence that the appellant killed or was present and aided and abetted in the killing of Tinsley [Trusty], although this corroborating evidence may not have tended to connect appellants with the commission of the offense, but merely showed that the offense had in point of fact been committed.
The instruction is also objectionable because it assumed that there was testimony corroborating the statements of the accomplice, or proof of circumstances connecting appellant with the killing.
The jury should have been left to determine whether or not there was any such corroborating evidence.
It also, in effect, takes away from the jury the right to consider any other evidence than that named by the court. They are told that if they believe from the testimony of John Young, and other testimony corroborating it, or circumstances connecting appellant with the killing beyond a reasonable doubt, they must find him guilty.
Confined alone to the testimony selected as pertinent and important, they might find the prisoner guilty and still be of opinion that there was other evidence before [**3] them which, if they were allowed to consider, would at least leave a rational doubt as to his guilt.
For these reasons we regard this instruction as erroneous and misleading.
The other questions raised in the argument of counsel relate only to matters of practice, and as it is most likely that the rulings complained of will not be made upon the next trial it is not necessary that we should pass upon them. The record sufficiently shows that all the instructions given by the court are embodied in the bill of exceptions.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded for a new trial upon principles not inconsistent with this opinion. [8]
[October 18, 1872] -
Fount Young.
The Court of Appeals have reversed the case of Fount young against the Commonwealth, appealed from the Casey Circuit Court. Our readers will remember that young was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged last month. From this verdict and judgment Young appealed and the case has been reversed. [9]
[November 1, 1872] -
Against Lincoln county allowed by the Court of Claims for said county at its October Term, 1872, and ordered to be paid out of the County Levy for the year 1873; published pursuant to an act of the Legislature, approved March 2, 1860.
Dr. J. F. Peyton, medical services to Fount Young, a prisoner..... 248.00
Dunn & Owsley, medicines for Young..... 14.82
[December 6, 1872] -
Casey Circuit Court.
The winter term of the Casey Circuit Court is now in session. Judge Fox begun the same on Monday last. the docket is said to be a small one, and the Court will probably adjourn before the expiration of next week. Several of our Attorneys have gone down. The case of Fount Young, which was reversed by the Appellate Court, will be called for trial during the present term of that Court. [11]
[August 15, 1873] -
We had an interview a few days since with the wife of Fountain Young the escaped prisoner. From her we gleaned the following: That he intends to surrender himself the first court, as he is anxious to have the matter decided. He desires to remain out of jail; has no weapons, and does not intend to harm any one. Is very much hurt in his feelings, because his neighbors are afraid of him; is cripled; has no money, and couldn't leave if he wanted to. [12]
[December 19, 1873] -
The Commonwealth vs. F. F. Young was called on the first day, but that personage being absent, the Judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest, and the Sheriff, summoning a posse started to hunt him up. He was found at his mother's, in Pulaski county, brought to Liberty and remanded to jail to await his trial, which was set for the June term of Circuit Court. [13]
[January 9, 1874] -
A called term of the Casey Circuit Court will be held on the 4th Monday in January for the purpose of hearing the case of the Commonwealth vs. Fountain F. Young. [14]
[June 5, 1874] -
Circuit Court is still continuing at Liberty. The jury in the case of the Commonwealth vs. F. F. Young, returned a verdict of manslaughter and Young was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. [15]
[June 12, 1874] -
The Sheriff started Thursday with FOUNTAIN YOUNG for the penitentiary, where he will be confined during his natural life, for the murder of NATHAN TRUSTY. [16]
[May 9, 1883] -
".... Seven or eight years ago Merritt's mother was accused of killing a man, and the testimony of one witness would have convicted her. Fountain Young, the reputed father of Merritt, killed this witness and thereby secured the release of his mistress, but brought a life sentence to the penitentiary upon himself. ..."

The Fat Man and Circuit Girl
I would be seriously remiss if I didn't help alert the world to The Fat Man and Circuit Girl, a podcast about making things, electronics, modification, and generally wresting control back from technology as it slowly saps the utility from our primal skillsets.
The Fat Man you may know from his illustrious, nay legendary, career in music for video games. His book I would call a must read, even for people not directly involved in music for games. He is also one of the forces behind Project Bar-B-Q which was an un-conference before conferences were even "un". It's goal is "Influencing Audio Hardware and Software Over the Next Five Years", and any look at the reports should convince you that its been successful in its goal.
Circuit Girl I have only had the opportunity to be acquainted with via this podcast unfortunately, but she seems super rad.
Anyone with an interest in electronics projects and technology should keep up on this show.
In this episode:
In part A of episode 10 inventor Ralph Baer best known for creating the first home video game console and the electronic game Simon joins us and talks about his start in electronics and toy design. George shows heads up display that doubles for a down camera and harmonic drive ideas. Jeri shows transducers, quartz lamps for furnace elements and a quick introduction to FPGAs

'No threats' to funeral flights
Undertakers say IAG takeover has had adverse effect on repatriations
Aer Lingus has pledged it will continue to repatriate human remains from the UK to funerals in Ireland despite complaints expressed by undertakers in this country that it has been getting harder to do since it was taken over by BA's owners, IAG.
The Dublin-based airline flatly rejected complaints that it was relegating coffins being transported to areas outside Dublin – such as Shannon and Cork – to later, less practical, flights.
Undertakers in London say the new practices – which include using the last flight of the evening to places like Shannon Airport – mean those travelling back for funerals face late night onward journeys and what was a two-day trip becoming a four-day affair.
They say that the marked deterioration in the availability of flights for funerals outside Dublin means mourners are also faced with much higher fares. The changes, they say, follow Aer Lingus's takeover last year by BA owners IAG with restrictive new schedules coming in this month.
Hammersmith undertaker Lynn Furlong, of Patrick Ryan and Daughters, said her firm would bring at least one body a week, or at least every other week, back to a funeral in Ireland – often more. Irish funerals moving from London, or other parts of the UK, to Ireland are a common event here – reflecting the huge wave of at least half a million Irish migrating to here between 1951 and the early 1960s.
"We always use Aer Lingus's cargo service, over the years they have been brilliant for repatriating remains and coffins, and generally always just so helpful. Don't talk to me about Ryanair, never again.
"Dublin is alright because there are so many flights but things have changed with flights elsewhere becoming available only in dribs and drabs.
"I've spoken to the regional sales manager (name withheld) for cargo and was told it has all been taken over by IAG who don't tell them anything, even though they were on Schedule Number 14 when I spoke to them.
Working closely
"I was told in future there will only be certain flights that will take coffins and the service may even end altogether," said Mrs. Furlong.
When contacted by the Irish World an Aer Lingus spokeswoman at the airline's HQ in Dublin said: "Aer Lingus regularly transports human remains between Great Britain and Ireland there has been no change to our policy on this in recent years. "Aer Lingus works closely with undertakers and funeral directors to assist with the repatriation of human remains.
"Our ability to provide this service depends on the type and size of the aircraft we operate on each specific route."
Of course, not everyone is dependent on Aer Lingus' cargo services. The family of London publican Christy Kissane – who died in London last October – chartered two aircraft for mourners to follow his coffin back to his native Beaufort, Co. Kerry last November.

When it was over and the Pope lost his political authority he secluded himself inside the walls of the Vatican in protest. Many Catholic powers tried to show the Pope that they still respected his authority even while political circumstances forced them to come to terms with the new Kingdom of Italy. One of these was the court of King Leopold II of the Belgians. The Ladies of the Royal Court raised funds for the design of a very unique and magnificent papal tiara for Pius IX. This was a way many countries showed support for the authority of the pope, by sending him a new crown. The "Ladies of the Royal Court of the King of the Belgians" (then Leopold II) presented the crown to the Pope on June 18, 1871. The crown, often known as the "Belgian Tiara" was not like any other. It was designed by Jean-Baptiste Bethune of Ghent with a unique shape for the three jewel-encrusted crowns and the tiers decorated with the words, "CHRISTI VICARIO - IN TERRA - REGUM".
Doing a little research I could not find agreement on what the three crowns are to symbolize since some said it was for the church on earth, in heaven and in purgatory and others that it stands for the three missions of Christians or the rule of God and others that one crown stood for papal rule of Rome, the second for rule over civil authorities and a third for rule over all monarchs. So it seems really no one knows. It is also not known if Pope Pius IX ever wore his Belgian tiara but it seems likely that he did not since he was old by that time and preferred to wear crowns that were as light as possible and the very elaborate and highly decorated Belgian tiara was quite heavy. That does not really matter though since it was a gift that did not need to be worn but was only to express the loyalty of the King, court and kingdom of Belgium for the sovereignty of the Pope, that they all remained loyal Catholics to him. From photographs it does not appear that any other popes wore the Belgian tiara either but kept it as a prized work of art and sentimental symbol. I am a little disappointed that the Popes decided to stop having a crown, the last one to wear his crown was Pope Paul VI in June of 1963.

It can be hard to solicit problems from people but it helps if you have some idea a priori what you are trying to accomplish before you test :) Certainly test what you expect to achieve and see if the tradeoff/"pathological" cases are what you expect, and then test with pseudo random input if you have some way to generate an expected result. To give you an example, right now I'm writing stuff that re-invents the wheel with a few things I'm ultimately hoping to identify and improve. I have scripts to generate random numbers to obtain unknown pieces of genome and "blast" / search against those assuming they will be "negative controls." Of course, a "hit" would require further examination but you get the idea. On genome, you get all kinds of "odd stuff" including discovering the unappreciated but highly conserved sequence "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN" LOL. You get the idea. I also have some splice related code I'm working on and I eventually found out about particular cases like DSCAM that make good tests. If you are aware of hits that normal blast doesn't turn up with typical search parameters, that would obviously make a good test case. Most of the papers that came up in the pubmed search probably list open issues ( or else their conclusion would be translated, " therefore, we require not further funding from our sponsor" LOL) so just reading the literature should give you some relevant ideas. Also, besides the bio literature, check out computer/algorithm literature at places like citeseer. _________________________________________________________________ Shed those extra pounds with MSN and The Biggest Loser! http://biggestloser.msn.com/
