text:
LDS and FLDS Are Not the Same!
At a recent dinner party, I sat across from Elita, a single woman (who would have been called an 'old maid' in my mother's generation) who announced that the LDS Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an American-born worldwide church with 13 million members) and the FLDS Church (the fundamentalist cult of Warren Jeffs fame) are one and the same. After I shut my gaping mouth, I informed Elita that the LDS Church passed a Manifesto outlawing polygamy in 1890, and again in 1904, and that in the 1930's, 40's and 50's the LDS Church actually helped the government gather incriminating information against fundamentalists in attempts to stamp out polygamy.
"My people really embarrassed the LDS Church, you know. That's because they're really very different," I told her.
Elita shook her head before I could finish speaking and told me again that the LDS and FLDS doctrines indicate that they are one and the same. I had been part of both organizations and could not agree with her. In fact, as I told her, I had personally felt the bite of the LDS Church's attempts to distance itself from polygamy. So I had to ask Elita where she got her information. She didn't cite sources, but said she knew that Mormons believe that God will assign single women a husband of His choosing in the hereafter.
"So you believe that an LDS woman in your position would be forced to marry somebody whether you like it or not?" I asked her. She nodded, perfunctorily.
"Whether you like him or not?"
Again she nodded.
"I don't think that's true. From what I know, the LDS people believe in a loving God who wants His children to be happy. I have heard that women who die without an eternal companion are allowed to choose one in the hereafter."
"Well, their Mormon god makes that choice for them. It's in the doctrine," she insisted.
I have long made it a policy not to engage in doctrinal debates, so I didn't say much more. I wondered about this woman's view of God: a heavy-handed patriarch who imposes his will regardless of what women want. I wondered about her father whose firm manner must have born a strong resemblance to her version of God. But instead of prolonging our disagreement, I simply stated facts. "I know this much for sure: LDS is not the same as FLDS. Especially when it comes to polygamy."
She pressed her lips together and shook her head. She devoured her buttered roll, prepared another and devoured it, too. I puzzled about this woman's vehement remarks all the way through dessert. Then, when the host, a handsome and very married man stood to make a toast, I saw the shine in her eyes, a carefully-held secret she would never openly acknowledge, and I knew where her passionate discourse had come from. It was the fruit of wishful thinking. Some of us just don't know how to get what we want so we settle for fantasy instead.

Peswiki: M.T. Keshe was 'kidnapped' in Canada over false nuclear weapons concerns
M.T. Keshe was 'kidnapped' in Canada over false nuclear weapons concerns
Belgium inventor who claims counter-gravity, propulsion, and free energy generator technologies has been derailed by Ad van den Elshout who has been fraudulently representing the company without authorization, including saying it is involved in nuclear weapons research.
by Sterling D. Allan
It's been over a year since we reported on something from Stichting the Keshe Foundation in Belgium. Things have been quiet over there, at least from a public knowledge vantage point. But that is not because nothing has been happening. They've been through some severe drama in the past year.
Mehran Tavakoli (MT) Keshe is the one who claims to have a counter-gravity technology and energy generating technology that would enable the kind of flight attributed to UFOs – rapid flight, sudden trajectory change, run on energy harvested freely from the environment. They are involved in research in the sub-plasma nuclear structure. He also claims to have the ability to capture CO2 and methane into liquid form through a nanotechnology and create energy in the process. He also claims to have amazing healing technologies.
Then on January 7, I was informed of the following post by Keshe on his forum:
In the past few days, Mr. Keshe has finally posted some accounts of what has been happening. They are movie material, complete with thugs, theft, corrupt government harassments, spying – all on top of some amazing technology claims. (Perhaps these aren't even the intended announcement; and that will be forthcoming, having to do with a technology?)
The key villain in the saga is Mr. Ad van den Elshout (Adrianus W.A.J. van den Elshout), who is like Bob Potchen on steroids. He has registered domains and created bogus business cards to portray himself as the director and owner of the Keshe Foundation. And unbeknownst to the Foundation until recently, he has been going around Europe, China, and Korea misrepresenting the Foundation and drumming up fraudulent business deals in their name.
The posted the following notice on their About Keshe page
The most damaging misrepresentation has been his false assertion that the Foundation is involved in research and development of nuclear weapons. This lie is compounded by Mr. Keshe's country of origin being Iran. No wonder the Belgium government had been denying his requests for permits to build a manufacturing facility. Many potential employees were left un-hired, and the technology has been tied up as a result.
This all came to a head last June when Mr. Keshe was traveling to Mexico and was held by the Canadian government for 11 days when he passed through their airport on his way, and was then sent back to Belgium. While wrongfully incarcerated in Canada, he was treated in a manner that resembled some dark tyrannical government with arbitrary rule; ransacking his belongings, copying his proprietary files, stealing his property, abusing his person. Keshe describes this abhorrent treatment for several pages.
It turns out that Elshout had contacted the Canadian authorities three days prior to Keshe's passing through their airport, which led to this drama.
According to Keshe, he is not the only scientist who has been subjected to this kind of ill treatment in the name of protecting the world from terrorism. He blames the U.S. in part for this saga, saying they are jealous of his technology which he says is a good 50 years ahead of anything we have (publicly) in the West. He says his peaceful propulsion and energy technologies obsolete nuclear technology. He has assigned the technologies to world dissemination for the people of the planet in the case something should happen to him.
He had been invited to be a guest speaker at the Space, Propulsion & Energy Sciences International Forum (SPECIF) held at John Hopkins University on February 23 (3:30 pm). He said he was going to demonstrate his technology there, but being denied a Visa, he had to give the presentation via live video conferencing.
His abstract, if read by someone who doesn't know the difference between conventional nuclear weapons and advanced nuclear research, might misconstrue Keshe's abilities and intentions:
It's fascinating stuff.

Miley Cyrus Inducts Joan Jett Into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Miley Cyrus inducted Joan Jett and the Blackhearts into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tonight. The pop star came onstage and started talking about the "first time [she] wanted to have sex with [Jett]."
Cyrus' expletive-peppered speech steered from her first meeting with Jett (it involved pot) to politics to the major inspiration Jett has had on her life.
The Blackhearts took to the podium first, with late drummer Lee Crystal's widow going first, asking "Don't you just love rock 'n' roll?" Producer Kenny Laguna was also onstage. Jett's own eloquent speech started with her thanking Cyrus and her "beautiful soul," and complimented on her being such a "strong woman" (something Jett knows a lot about).
"I was really going to try not to cry and be tough," she said. "Hey, Mom and Dad, did you ever think that Christmas guitar would lead to this? I come from a place where rock 'n' roll means something. it means more than music, more than fashion, more than the pose. Rock 'n' roll is an idea and an ideal. Sometimes, because we love the music and we make the music, we forget the political impact it has around the world."
Jett also thanked a long list of artists along the way, including Nirvana, Fugazi, X and Green Day, who are also being inducted tonight. "If we did nothing else but write 'Cherry Bomb,' it would have been great," she said. "But we made some history."
Jett was the first artist to be inducted into the Rock Hall tonight. Prior to her induction, she performed a trio of her hits — "Bad Reputation," "Cherry Bomb" and "Crimson and Clover" — with Cyrus, Dave Grohl and original "Crimson and Clover" singer Tommy James.

Private Residence VI
We were contacted by an Architecture firm in NYC to produce photoreal renderings for a modern beach house in NJ. The ground floor is open and transparent containing all of the public spaces for entertaining and also to boast vantage point views to the Atlantic. The southern facade on the second is transparent to allow for water views and the northern facade is mostly opaque with moveable scrim walls to create privacy for the bedrooms above.
The task was to develop the exterior and interior in 3D for photoreal renderings for presentation to client. We worked closely with the Architect to further develop the design, as it was still in the early Schematic Design stage. In this particular project it was important to develop the interior as much as the exterior since the transparent skin allowed for clear views
into the first and second floor spaces.

Jacoby Ellsbury agreed to a deal with the New York Yankees last night, a move that, ten years ago, or even eight years ago would've caused much weeping and gnashing of teeth among the locals.
While there was some of that going around last night (@KeithOlberman tracked a bunch of the mouthbreathers) the reaction was definitely more muted, at least among the fans I was watching and interacting with.
We all knew he was gone, right? And that the Yankees, given their spending habits, were a likely destination, right? Did anyone think that a Boras client like Ellsbury was not going to go to wherever gave him the most money?
The fans and media probably would not have been kind to Ben Cherington had he re-signed Ellsbury to the seven-year $153 million deal that he reportedly got from the Yankees.
Three World Series titles have made Red Sox fans a little more secure and less anxious over whatever the Yankees do. Even after they had won in 2004, when Johnny Damon left for the Yankees the following year, there was still considerable outcry, now, I think we see the cycle the Yankees are in, and it's not as worrisome to us. The media will still try to make the Yankees scary to the fans, but I think most of the true fans have moved past that feeling. We can still hate the Yankees, but we're not intimidated or scared of them.
Good for Ellsbury. He's got two World Series titles under his belt, having played a big role in both of them, and now has the big payday. I don't begrudge him one bit, and while I'm not sure the spotlight and circus of New York is a great fit for him, I wish him well.
The worst part of this, in the short term anyway, is going to be forced to listen to Johnny Damon as he makes his inevitable media rounds to talk about his experience in leaving the Red Sox for the Yankees. He'll be on with Mut and Merloni this morning, and I'm sure many other outlets in the next few days.
It should be fun though, watching media people who criticized Ellsbury harshly for the last few years try and change tact and tell us how he's going to come back and haunt the Red Sox in the future.
It was interesting watching media people last night as they insulted the fans when the news broke:
Cue angry #RedSox fans blaming Scott Boras for Ellsbury deciding to hire him as an agent.
— Pete Abraham (@PeteAbe) December 4, 2013
Curious: So, Red Sox Nation, what do you do for/to Ellsbury on 4/22, Yankees' first trip to Fenway (and any time thereafter)?
— Maureen Mullen (@MaureenaMullen) December 4, 2013
I'll save you the trouble: first NYY visit, with Ellsbury, to Fenway: April 22. #redsoxtalk

Jacoby Ellsbury played on two WS-winning teams with #RedSox. Now he's a Yankee which means he gets forever booed at Fenway. Fair? Unfair?

One thing about these nights: Lots of people think "trader" means "traitor."

Angry, dumb Red Sox fans call Jacoby Ellsbury a "trader" for signing with the Yankees: http://t.co/zDzEyunM3s

Ellsbury never got over how he was treated by the #RedSox + fans when he was hurt a few years ago . Bolts to #Yankees 5 weeks after WS. #MLB
— RyanAsselta (@RyanAsselta) December 4, 2013
@klemanowicz @RyanAsselta Kevin you are both right, most money but sticking it to sox was in Ellsburys mind. #bitter
— Butch Stearns (@ButchStearns) December 4, 2013
@bruceallen On MLB Net, Cafardo said he'd tell booing fans to "grow up" since it's a "business." You know, cause fandom is a business pact.
— Michael Walsh (@burgermike) December 4, 2013
#RedSoxTalk WATCH: Will Ellsbury get booed at Fenway? … http://t.co/kFZpSYfakS
— CSN New England (@CSNNE) December 4, 2013
Nick Cafardo this morning:
Ellsbury was a beloved player in Boston and now the fans who once lashed out at media for being critical of his injury situation likely will boo him unmercifully every time he steps to the plate in Yankee pinstripes. He has gone the way of Johnny Damon, Wade Boggs, and Roger Clemens, and Ellsbury never will live it down. He will be called a traitor and other unsavory names when he steps up the plate.
Beloved player?
There will be some local effort to paint Ellsbury as the Fourth Horseman of the Pinstripe Apocalypse. Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens and Johnny Damon all chose the Yankees (Clemens got himself traded to New York after two years in Toronto) after long careers with the Red Sox. All three won championships and Boggs and Clemens actually rode horses in Yankee Stadium.
Now Ellsbury. Are you going to boo him the way you booed Damon, Ray Allen and Adam Vinatieri?
Steve Buckley:
Oh, it won't be fair, Ellsbury being treated that way after all he did for the Red Sox, but that's the way it is. Tickets to a Sox game are among the highest-priced in the big leagues; you put up that kind of money for a baseball ticket and you can boo anybody you damn well please. No, you don't get to throw stuff. And if you have any civility at all, you don't cuss in front of the kids.
But boo? Boo Ellsbury? Again, take a look at your ticket. Better yet, take a look at your credit card receipt. If it has your name on it, you go right ahead and boo Ellsbury if you feel compelled to do so. And don't you let some sports pundit or gasbag talk-show host legislate your emotions.
A whole lot of finger-wagging going on out there.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minnesotans are one step closer to legally buying and shooting off a wider range of fireworks this summer.
The Minnesota Senate approved a bill 41-22 Tuesday to make aerial fireworks legal in the state. Current law limits consumers to sparklers and other toys low in explosives. The House version of the bill is awaiting a floor vote.
Supporters say Minnesotans already buy larger fireworks in Wisconsin and North and South Dakota. They say allowing such fireworks within the borders would generate money from sales taxes and eliminate a barely enforced law.
But critics point out that hospitals, law enforcement and fire chiefs organizations are opposed to a looser law. They say it will cause more injuries and property damage.
If approved the bill would take effect on June 1.

Bruce Barnett and Jake Raburn face off in a new district in southeastern Hillsborough. Raburn has garnered several local endorsements, but Barnett is determined to bring Democratic representation to this historically Republican part of the county.
|Bruce Barnett, 49Logistics manager for General Transportation Services
|Jake Raburn, 27Hinton Farms marketing director
|Spent four years in the Army and attended the Defense Language Institute. Served as a Czech linguist with the 66th Military Intelligence Company of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment before being honorably discharged. He has worked his way through the ranks of the trucking and logistics industry, and now serves as the logistics manager for General Transportation Services. He lives in Valrico.
|Worked for two years as a marketing specialist with the Florida Department of Citrus. Serves on the board of directors of the Hillsborough County Farm Bureau; the Young Farmer and Rancher Leadership Committee of the Florida Farm Bureau; the marketing committee of the Florida Strawberry Growers Association; and as a director for the University of Florida College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Alumni Board. He lives in Plant City.
|Associate's degree from St. Petersburg Junior College; bachelor's degree in economics from the University of the State of New York; master's degree in business administration from the University of Phoenix
|Bachelor of science degree in agricultural communication from the University of Florida
|Education. Restore education funding so more people can afford to go to college. That would help bridge the education gap, therefore helping more people get jobs and attracting more business to the state.
|What would your top priority be in the legislature?
|The economy. Eliminate duplication of regulation and reduce regulation to help locally owned and locally operated businesses prosper. Help businesses by reducing taxation.
|Stop funneling money out of the education system and giving it to big corporations that aren't actually creating jobs. Expand Medicaid under Obamacare. Invest in infrastructure and generally make Florida a nice place to live so more business will come here.
|What else can the Legislature do to grow Florida's economy and create more jobs?
|Focus on maintaining and improving infrastructure and access to deepwater ports. With the expansion of the Panama Canal, this can provide an opportunity to entice new businesses and for current businesses to prosper and grow.
|The state needs to get more people to graduate from high school and college. In order to do that, the state needs to stop cutting school funding.
|What should be done to improve education in Florida?
|Increase access to and build up career and technical programs. Every student that wants to go to college should have the opportunity and be properly prepared, but we also need to prepare students that don't go for the workforce.
|The Legislature needs to rein in some of the sales tax exemptions. Also supports an Internet sales tax.
|How would you change the state's tax system?
|Look at ways to reduce or eliminate business income tax. Businesses can grow and hire more people, so give them the best resources to create jobs and grow the economy.
|About $481,000 for Valrico home and bank accounts. Additional $12,300 in household goods and personal effects.
|About $18,000 from Plant City home and bank account. Additional $75,000 in household goods and personal effects.
|About $65,000 for mortgage
|About $145,000 in mortgage and auto loan
|$50,181 from Hinton Farms
|Married 21 years to Birgit; one daughter, Jana, who attends the University of Central Florida
|Married four years to Melissa; 1-year-old son, Jackson

Speaker Fox ties the knot in State House ceremony
Rhode Island Speaker of the House Gordon Fox is now a married man.
Fox and his long time partner Marcus LaFond exchanged vows in a private ceremony at the State House Tuesday.
The Speaker released the following statement on his marriage.
{}"Fifteen years ago on November 12, Marcus and I exchanged rings and made a lifetime commitment to each another.{} This date has great sentimental meaning to both of us, so we felt it was appropriate to officially exchange our wedding vows today.
{}"Over the years, many people have encouraged us to travel out of state to get married.{} As a lifelong Rhode Islander, I wanted this special day to take place in the state we both treasure so dearly.{}
{}"I can't help but reflect today on all the courageous individuals who fought for marriage equality over the many years it was debated in our state. I am overwhelmed that all Rhode Island couples now have the opportunity to experience the same joy that Marcus and I shared today."{}{}
The ceremony was officiated by Traffic Court Chief Magistrate William Guglietta.

Ashkelon, Israel
The Ashkelon seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant – the largest in the world – achieved two notable successes in 2006. In March it was voted 'Desalination Plant of the Year' in the Global Water Awards, subsequently passing a major project milestone in October 2006, when, little more than a year after it commenced initial production, it successfully delivered its first 100 million m³ of water.
With a capacity of 330,000m³ per day, the plant produces around 13% of the country's domestic consumer demand – equivalent to 5–6% of Israel's total water needs – at one of the world's lowest ever prices for desalinated water.
The plant's output increased gradually over years since its inception. It produced 101 million m³ in 2006, 104 million m³ in 2007 and 111 million m³ in 2008.
The large scale of the plant presented a number of technical challenges and necessitated a shift from the more familiar arrangement of several identical outsized trains seen in smaller RO installations to a three-centre model.
The project included membrane desalination units and facilities for seawater pumping, brine removal, raw water pre-treatment and product water treatment. In addition, the scheme also required the construction of workshop and laboratory buildings, access roads and a dedicated gas turbine power station.
Built by VID, a special purpose joint-venture company of IDE Technologies, Veolia and Dankner-Ellern Infrastructure, the total project cost was $212m and was funded by a mixture of equity (23%) and debt (77%). The overall revenue over the period of the contract will be in the region of $825m.
In common with other countries in this water-scarce region, Israel has chronic problems over water resources – which the Desalination Master Plan, launched in 2000, set out to address.
This called for the construction of a series of plants along the Mediterranean coast, to enable an annual total of 400 million m³ of desalinated water to be produced by 2005, chiefly for urban consumption. According to the plan, production is intended to rise to 750 million m³ by 2020.
The contract for the Ashkelon facility – the first in the series of large-scale seawater desalination units – was awarded in September 2001, after an extensive tendering process beginning in July of the previous year. The concession was granted on a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) basis and at the end of the 25-year period, the plant transfers to the Government of Israel.
Originally intended to produce only 50 million m³/year, after the formal signatures were completed in November 2001, further negotiations were entered into between February and April 2002 to double the output. This second agreement was signed in April 2002 and work on the two-phase construction programme began a year later.
SWRO Plant design
The three-centre design model adopted for this plant involves arranging the high pressure pumps, energy recovery devices and membrane banks so that they can each operate independently and flexibly.
Separating the high-pressure pump from the energy recovery device and breaking the link between pump capacity and the RO bank capacity enables the process to be optimised for each of the constituent elements. This brings significant technological flexibility and high efficiency to the system while also reducing overall water cost – in this case to $0.52/m³.
To provide twice the capacity first envisaged, two almost entirely self-contained, autonomous plants have been built on the site, each contributing 50 million m³/year of desalinated water. With the exception of the seawater intake, the product water treatment system and the dedicated power plant, the site sub-systems have been duplicated to ensure independence of operation. In addition, those elements which are shared have been designed with the sufficient in-built back-up capacity to allow separate service to each plant.
The North and South plants, which came online in September and December of 2005 respectively, each consist of a pumping centre, comprising three-plus-one large 5.5MW high-pressure pumps, to feed 16 RO banks – which contain 105 pressure vessels apiece – via a common feed ring. The complete facility, built over four floors, comprises 40,000 membrane elements and uses optimised, multi-stage RO and boron removal procedures.
An energy recovery centre made up of 40 double work exchanger energy recovery (DWEER) devices, collects pressurised brine from each plant's RO banks and reclaims the energy. The independent nature of this system increases both the flexibility of the system and its overall efficiency.
The whole facility occupies 75,000m³ of industrial site, some 700m north of an existing Israel Electrical Company power station. Using the power station's cooling seawater discharge was one of a number of intake options initially considered, but was ultimately rejected in favour of using an open, submerged type, principally due to site constraints and hydrogeological limitations.
The system comprises three parallel pipes, which safeguard supply and enhance operational reliability by producing non-turbulent feed water flows. High density plastic piping – simple to clean and relatively resistant to biological growth – has been used to minimise maintenance.
From the pumping station, raw seawater flows to the pre-treatment facilities through two separate lines. This ensures that the plant can at least continue to operate at half-capacity in the event of blockage or failure in one of the pipelines or static mixers. The dosing pumps at the chemical treatment facility are each equipped with real-time flow-rate adjustment and adequate redundant capacity has again been factored in to guard against down-time.
Filtration is performed in two stages, starting with gravity filters containing gravel, quartz sand and anthracite media. The combination of long residence time and a distribution system designed to minimise clogging and preferential channel formation contribute to achieving high filtration efficiency.
The filters, which have an automatic backwash facility, offer a 33% standby overcapacity and have a proven ability to cope with storm turbidity levels. Two parallel batteries of cartridge filters form the second stage, with a built-in spare capacity of 40%.
High boron ion reduction was an important design consideration. The method selected is highly flexible and readily adjustable to feed water temperature fluctuations, being capable of delivering a removal efficiency of more than 92%, when necessary.
These demands, coupled with a number of other key requirements, including high pH tolerance, continuous low pressure operation, low membrane fouling and cost-effective, reliable performance, led to FilmTec elements being selected for the RO operation.
Post treatment with lime re-mineralises the product water, before it enters the national water system.
In keeping with the project's general drive to ensure reliability, efficiency and continuity of operation, electricity is provided from two separate sources. A dedicated gas turbine power station, fuelled by natural gas, has been built adjacent to the desalination plant, while an overhead line provides supply from the Israeli national grid.
The provision of a dedicated power plant is a major factor in both safeguarding operational reliability and reducing energy costs, as it is offers protection from daily or seasonal demand fluctuations. The desalination system is expected to run at a continuous base load for most of its operation.
Key players
The contract was formally awarded by the Israeli Ministries of National Infrastructure and Finance, on behalf of the Government of Israel. VID, the special-purpose JVC, comprises IDE Technologies (50% and lead partner) and Veolia (50%). Originally, Veolia and Dankner-Ellern Infrastructure held 25% each. However, Dankner-Ellern's stake was later sold to Veolia Water (earlier Vivendi Water).
The engineer, procure and construct (EPC) contractor was OTID, a joint venture company formed by IDE and OTV (Veolia Group). Israel Chemicals and Delek Group are equal-share partners in IDE Technologies. Operation and maintenance is the responsibility of Adam, a joint venture company of IDE and Veolia.
The reverse osmosis membrane elements were provided by the Dow Chemical Company and the temperature and pressure transmitters by Smar. Mekorot distributes the product water.

There are several people I know that have recently moved into a new apartment. Just about every day they are asked, 'How are you enjoying your new place?' as well as other types of questions like 'what's the floor plan?' or 'how do you have it decorated?', etc. Most of the initial questions you get asked when you've recently moved can be answered by a simple event, a housewarming party!
Inviting your friends, family and co-workers to a housewarming party where they can see your lovely abode will ensure you the opportunity to show off your style. And what better way to gloat about your new space with all the cool swag on display?!
We've taken the liberty of highlighting a few basics to guarantee you a rockin' housewarming party!
- Invites are a must. I would really recommend using websites such as an Evite to send out virtual invitations. Saves on cost and they're eco-friendly! If there are people who you do not know their email address (i.e. your new neighbors), small notes are totally acceptable.
- What should you serve? That's easy…whatever you want! Most housewarming parties are basic drinks and hors d'oeuvres, but there's nothing saying you can't stray. If your apartment has a great deck or patio, a barbeque might be nice (provided that it's okay with your apartment association first)!
- Do I need to provide entertainment? Absolutely! The point of your housewarming party is to show off your new home, so be sure to include tours of your new apartment for all those coming. That will answer all those pesky questions they ask. But in addition to the tours, you should provide music and other entertainment. At a housewarming party I attended, they had group video games for everyone to interact and meet one another. Music is also a popular form of entertainment.
- And finally, always show your appreciation. All of your guests have taken time out of their schedule to spend a few hours with you and share the joy of your new apartment. Thank them for stopping by and especially thank them should they have brought a gift; especially, since housewarming gifts are optional!
To everyone who has just recently moved into their new, or first, apartment-CONGRATS! Here's hoping you have a terrific housewarming party!

Scott Johnson publishes an email from Wilfred McClay noting the oddly cool critical reception Dave Brubeck received :
I thought the Los Angeles Times obituary was pretty good, and remarkably honest about the shameful and shabby way that the critics stubbornly refused to acknowledge his greatness, and never ceased to hold his popularity against him. Not only does the article touch on the racial theme, which I didnt expect it to do, but it even touches on the fact that his long, happy, and devoted marriage and healthy family life was in some ways held against himhe didnt live a sufficiently colorful life, but was a faithful husband and loving, conscientious father, never was addicted to heroin, etc. The whole thing taught me early on in life that sometimesnot always, but sometimesthe public is a better judge than the critics. The one (unsurprising) omission from the LATs obit is any direct account of Brubecks religious faith, which was deep and specifically Christian (as I recall, he was an Episcopalian and then became a Catholic), and was behind much of the music he wrote in the last three or four decades of his life. The article mentions the sacred music, but the reader is left in the dark as to why he was writing it.
McClay concludes: "I feel a little bit as if I have lost a friend. But such a legacy! And now he can rest in peaceor, as the case may be, swing in peace."

Escape the Dead: Craig Mabbitt's 'Walking Dead' Recap, Season 4, Episode 12
In addition to being Escape the Fate's lead singer, Craig Mabbitt is a diehard viewer of 'The Walking Dead.' For Season 4 of the hit AMC show, Mabbitt has signed on to write an exclusive recap of each episode for Loudwire. Check out his rundown of Episode 12 below:
This episode is definitely a filler but one that needed to happen. Remember how Michonne kinda went blank and fell into her old ways because she had lost everything again? She slayed all those walkers and gained her mojo back and went on a search and found Rick and Carl and is now on her way to safety. Well, this episode was that but for Daryl.
Daryl has been kinda cold towards Beth and we start off the episode seeing them search a car for supplies. They hear trouble and decide to take cover in the trunk. This scene is pretty intense but they make it through the night. They collect some hubcaps which they use as walker warnings and some side view mirrors, which Beth uses to start a fire back at some piece of s–t camp in the woods. Daryl kills a "mud snake" which we then see him chow down on like it's nobody's business and at this point Beth has had enough. She wants a drink, for the first time, a drink, and this becomes the mission for the rest of the show.
They come to an old golf course and enter the (I don't know what you'd call it … the lounge?) of the course and they are on a search for booze. Beth finds a wine bottle which is short lived as she breaks it over a zombie's head.
They make it to the bar after Daryl decides to unload on some walkers who gained entry. (Pay attention to Beth's new yellow golf shirt from Daryl's driver hit to the walker's skull … so many blood stains that magically disappear, haha!) Beth finds peach schnapps as Daryl just stands there silently (well vocally silent) throwing darts at pictures on the wall. Beth starts to cry and Daryl has had enough of seeing her upset. He grabs the bottle and slams it on the ground and says, "Ain't no way your first drink gonna be some damn peach schnapps, c'mon!" F— yea Daryl, f— yea!
So Daryl leads her to a place that he had stumbled upon with Michonne that has a shed full of moonshine, and they drink.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but they don't get a chance to eat much, this is Beth's first time drinking ever! And it's homemade moonshine … she takes a sip as if it's bad tasting medicine!!???? THE worst reaction to a first drink, let alone moonshine, I've ever seen in my life, and after that big ass first shot, they play a game of "never have I ever." B–ch should be passed the f— out!!! Haha!
Anyway, during the game and prior, Daryl opens up about how he knows places like this all to well and it's kinda how he grew up. Beth says, "I've never been to jail," and Daryl kinda loses it thinking that's what she thinks of him. From this point it's just all emotions running high and Daryl drags her outside to shoot his crossbow, which she revealed she had "never done" and eventually they talk it out.
Daryl almost cries as he opens up about how guilty he feels for not doing more and they hug it out. And then they decide to burn the piece of s–t trailer house down and give it the finger amongst its flames. Well now that morale seems high for them … let's go find the others, shall we!!??? Can't wait for next week!
Our thanks to Craig Mabbitt for his recap of the latest episode of 'The Walking Dead.' Please note that Craig's opinions do not necessarily reflect those of Loudwire. You can enter to win a deluxe box set copy of Season 3 in the contest below. Pick up Escape the Fate's latest album, 'Ungrateful,' at iTunes.

I recently posted a problem (much too long to reproduce here) where
we were copying files from an NFS mounted disk to a SMD disk on our Sun4,
using tar, and finding that some of the copied files differed by one byte.
The only reply recommended the NFS jumbo patch, but the problem turned out
to be the SMD controller board. We replaced that and the problem went away.
We managed to isolate that component by performing the same copy operation
to other SMD and SCSI disks on the same machine, and comparing the results.
The failure could be reproduced on any SMD disk, but never on any of the SCSI
disks. We might still be scratching our heads about it if we hadn't happened
to have both kinds of disks on the same machine. Most people would not have
such a "luxury". :-)

Used to love that oatmeal!
My mother told me when she was a kid they used to serve oatmeal with butter rather than sugar. I tried it that way and liked it so much I always served porridge that way. I turned out to be sensitive to oats, as many with gluten intolerance are.

Originally posted by Kochin View PostSome foods have "CW halos" that make them good until someone "uncovers" the truth: they're not. Then people stop having them. A lot of people think of muffins as "health foods" because a plain muffin is marginally better (in terms of kcals, satiety and chemical content) than a cake or most breakfast cereals. They ignore these facts:
-only marginally better, which doesn't mean "healthy"#
-only PLAIN muffins are better
-it's usually "better per 100g", so, if you eat more muffin, you cancel out any improvement
And, in a few weeks, there will be an "expose" on the "hidden secret" of muffins and why they aren't healthy after all.
I'm guessing the same goes for wraps: because they're usually smaller (smaller = less kcals by default), have less bread content and the bread is sometimes less processed, they have a "halo".
CW is strange even within its own "rules".
I worked in a bakery for a while where we made giant muffins, which at the time was rather a new thing. People loved them. The most popular one was blueberry, which was pure cake. I forget how many the recipe made, but it had 4 pounds of butter in it. One variety we made was fat-free. It had whole wheat, oats, bran, chopped apples, raisins, carrots, "natural sweetener" like honey, and other stuff. I calculated the calorie count at 650 calories per each. They were like lead, they were so heavy. A stout middle-aged woman would come in daily to buy one because her doctor said she had to have fat-free. So she was probably getting half her calories for the day in what she undoubtedly thought was a healthy snack.
Another time a woman complained that the ham had a little strip of fat around the outside. It was real ham. After that I had to remove that fat. But I think what she was upset about was not that it had an infinitesimal amount of fat, but that it had structure, as meat does. She wanted something that looked like it was grown in a tank.
I lol'd so much working at that place.
^^pass the bacon!! I could have been the muffin lady! LOLKarin

Originally posted by cori93437 View PostThey really are generally more concerned with animal life than health in general because most are driven by ethics rather than health concerns, or at least to a greater degree.

Originally posted by Wulf View PostMy "funny" CW moment for the day is, I was bad and bought some on-sale valentine candy. I got some of the "queen" brand chocolate covered cherries, the ubiquitous type around at this time. I ate one and all I could taste was the plastic packaging - whatever is in all the plastic they use had infused the candy and it was disgusting. All I could taste was like nasty polystyrene. So I put the rest out in the common area (at work). I also swore off those instant noodles in a cup awhile ago (before paleo), because I could taste the styrofoam container, or whatever additive they have in the plastic, in the food. Similarly, not that any of you would be eating bakery items but, the cheap plastic decorations (most likely from china) they stick on top of decorative cupcakes also do this-- infuse the food with chemicals from the plastic, to the point the entire cupcake tastes like the plastic. There are a lot of sources of synthetic chemical contamination out there, and who knows what chronic health problems they are causing...
One year I bought fresh sweet cherries, pitted them, coated them with fondant, and dipped them in chocolate to bring to a party. They were amazing.

The temperature has varied between -15C and +1C, and granted when it's been in the colder end or windy I've covered up better, but I still just wear a t-shirt under my warm coat instead of my prior three layer get up. Sometimes I feel like taking off my coat to see the disapproving stares of older ladies who seem to think I'll "catch death" the way I'm going.
I felt sorry for everybody else, huddling like refugees.

montana mind-set
free gun with your satellite TV (or pizza)
A Montana RadioShack owner said he will continue to give away guns with satellite television subscriptions despite the corporation's insistence he halt the promotion. Since October, independent dealer Steve Strand has been offering a gift card for a $125 pistol or $115 shotgun and a free background check to customers who sign up for two-year Dish Network packages. Those not interested can opt for a $50 pizza certificate. RadioShack officials called Strand on Tuesday and ordered him to pull the promotion, he told the Ravalli Republic. Strand refused: "RadioShack has taken the position that we're tarnishing their brand image with the promotion. I don't think this is a negative impact. I don't think they understand the way of life in Montana." In an attempt to appease the company, Strand took down the sign in his window that read: "Protect yourself with Dish Network. Sign up now, get free gun." In its place is a sign advertising a website Strand set up detailing the promotion, GetaGun.net.

Bronx Zoo cobra didn't slither far
A poisonous, 24-inch Egyptian cobra that disappeared from a Bronx Zoo exhibit has been found — coiled in a dark corner of the zoo's reptile house. The reptile house was closed Friday after the 3-ounce snake disappeared. According to the snake's Twitter persona, whose updates attracted more than 200,000 followers by Thursday afternoon, its last adventure was attending the Yankees' opening game: "If you see a bag of peanuts inexplicably moving along the ground at Yankee Stadium today. Just ignore it. It's probably nothing."

A RAPIST dubbed the Beast of Kavos who preyed on British holidaymakers on
Corfu was jailed for a record 52 years yesterday.
Evil Dimitris Aspiotis, 39, will not be considered for parole until he is 91.
It is believed to be the longest sentence given in a Greek court for rape.
His sentencing came after a harrowing court hearing in which three brave
British victims gave evidence in Igoumenitsa, on the mainland.
They told how he would repeatedly rape them for hours at knifepoint.
Incredibly, Aspiotis's 46-day spree in 2010 began after he was released
halfway through a six-year sentence for sex attacks on three other Brits.
Officials were accused of failing to warn holidaymakers that a serial rapist
was on the prowl in case it hit tourism.
The coke-snorting brute partied with holidaymakers on the beach before
attacking victims as they walked back on a woodland path.
One tearful Brit, 27, told of her "horrific" ordeal that lasted up to six
She said: "He would talk to me politely, calmly, and then rape me. Within
that time he raped me a total of six times."
"He would tell me in broken English, 'Come on, it is not terrible, I am not a
bad man. If you do not resist it will be better.'
"He would ask, 'Is it good? Say yes'."
The holiday rep, of Preston, Lancs, added: "I feared he was going to kill me
to get rid of the evidence."
But Aspiotis showed her the way back to her hotel — then took her money and a
Another British holiday rep, 45, was also raped in the woods for hours.
The woman, from London, added: "He was forceful and very threatening, sexually
totally aggressive. Then he would be polite and almost friendly."
Once again, Aspiotis took her money and phone then let her go. His third
victim was on her first lone holiday abroad as an 18th birthday gift from
her parents.
Greek police believe homeless Aspiotis attacked more British tourists.
The Beast, who admitted rape, robbery and assault, begged for leniency, saying
he was "ugly".
He told the judge: "Forcing myself on them was the only way I could secure
physical contact with women."
Earlier, his brother yelled from the court corridor: "Give me a gun and I'll
shoot him myself."

Now that I have a couple of sites running for a while , it seems the "Lingering junk pages" problem in the site-tree is getting worse.
Trying to find a way to reproduce the bug, but it is pretty hard. It has something to do with removing and/or dragging pages around in the Sitetree. In the CMS , I can't select the pages to remove them (I get an "error loading page" error) .
When I look in the siteTree DB tables. There are empty records for the Pages in both Sitetree and SiteTree_Live. If I remove them both , the pages will disappear (of course). But the problem keeps coming back.
See the screenshots for an example.
Are there more people who encountered this problem ?

LONDON (Nov. 14)
Twelve thousand Jewish veterans of the late war from all parts of the British Isles yesterday participated in the annual ceremonies and services honoring the memory of the Jewish men and women who died while in the British services during the war.
The Remembrance Parade was reviewed by Field Marshal. Montgomery, highest ranking British officer and head of the West European military council. Among the participants in the parade, which marched to music played by the band of the famed Coldstream Guards, was a contingent of 500 veterans from Glasgow, complete with kilts and bagpipes. The services for the dead were recited by Chief Rabbi Israel Brodie.
Last night, at a reunion meeting of veterans of the Jewish Brigade, former Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden paid tribute to the wartime feats of the Brigade in Italy. He also spoke of the emergence of the Jewish state as the most memorable event in the recent history of the world.
He expressed the hope, which he said many Britons shared, that harmony and prosperity would reign in Israel and the whole Middle East. Everything that could be done by Britain to bring this about should be done "earnestly and eagerly," Mr. Eden continued, and appealed to the Jewish state to contribute to the harmony and prosperity of the Middle East. Both Mr. Eden and Sir Hartley Shawcross, the Attorney General, condemned fascist and anti-Semitic propaganda.

Justin Wilson media
Justin qualified 21st (Row 7) for next Sunday's Indianapolis 500, posting a four-lap average speed of 222.929mph in the #18 Sonny's Bar-B-Q Honda during his one and only Pole Day qualifying run. Dale Coyne Racing was successful in getting both of its entries into the race on Pole Day; Justin's team-mate James Jakes will start from 17th (Row 6) in the #19 Boy Scouts of America Honda. Following his first run (222.338mph), James was bumped out of the 24 positions available on Pole Day, but after some tweaks to the car he improved his four-lap average speed to 223.482mph.
Ryan Briscoe took pole position for Team Penske (226.484mph) by a whisker from Andretti Autosport's James Hinchcliffe (226.481mph), whose team-mate Ryan Hunter-Reay (226.240mph) also lines up on the front row. The 0.0023s margin between the top two qualifiers is the closest in Indianapolis 500 history.
"It was great to get the No. 18 Sonny's Bar-B-Q Honda locked into the field on the first day. Congratulations to James as well - it's been a great effort by the whole Dale Coyne Racing team this week," said Justin. "It's not the starting position we would have liked, but I'm happy to be in the show. I was running mid 223mph speeds for the first couple of laps, but then the car got sideways in Turn 2 on my third lap and we lost some momentum for the rest of the run. I'm sure there was some more time in the car, but when you know you've qualified you don't want to do anything too risky for the sake of one or two rows on the grid. At the end of the day we feel we have a pretty well balanced race car. That's what really matters here and I think we can find even more speed before race day."

15 years later, Billy Ocean is back
Billy Ocean has a brand new album -- his first in 15 years -- and the new single is the title track: Because I Love You.
Chances are you haven't had a chance to see Billy Ocean live unless you live in the U.K., where he just finished a 41-date tour. Up next is a summer tour of the Caribbean and Australia. Check out his official website for tour details.
Born in Trinidad and raised in London, Ocean is considered the most successful black, British artist of all time. But he's been largely missing from the U.S. scene since the late '80s. In an interview last week to the Telegraph, Ocean explains why.
"Success can create more madness than happiness," he told the London newspaper. "And nobody will tell you to stop. I didn't experience burnout, but I can see how it destroys energy, peace, the desire to make music. I had young children who were growing up away from me and I was growing up away from them. I had to get out and it was the best thing I could have done because I didn't lose my love of music."

4. THERE'LL BE SAD SONGS (1986): "You're the one I care for, the one I will wait for." [Song]
3. WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GETS GOING (1986): "Give me love the old-fashion way." [Video]

Source: Family Records or genealogies of the first settlers of Passaic Valley and Vicinity above Chatham, with their ancestors and descendants, as far as could be ascertained in 1851. By John Littell, 1851.
Capt. Robert Treat, John Curtis. Jasper Crane, and John Treat, were sent, in 1660, from Branford, Milford, and Guilford, in Connecticut, to view the country and lands in New Jersey. They returned and reported favorably, and were sent back with power to select a site for a town, and make a purchase. The result at that time was a purchase of the township of Newark, by its ancient boundaries.
The Indians called the town Passaic, but the inhabitants, called it Newark, after a town in England, from which the Rev. Mr. Pierson, their pastor, had come. Trumbull, the historian, says that Mr. Pierson, and almost his whole church and congregation, soon removed from Branford to Newark, and carried with them the church records. This removal took place some time previous to the 24th of June, 1667.
DANIEL DOD, Jun., eldest son of Daniel Dod, Sen., came to Newark, a minor, probably with the colony from Branford. He had a lot of land for his home lot in Newark, about Bridge Street, and northward.

Isaac was a captain, and at the beginning of the revolution was appointed justice of the peace, and continued to sustain that office till his death, in 1804. Amos Dod was also captain, and Caleb Dod major, in the same regiment.
