Sometimes you just can't imagine going through all the cooking, cleaning and hassle of a Thanksgiving meal. Maybe you don't want the extra family in your home, maybe you're far away from home, or maybe you just burned your turkey to high heaven; for whatever your reasons are to want to escape your home on Thanksgiving Day, don't despair. Here are some great places to grab a bite on or right before the big day.
Prix-fixe Gourmet
From Noon until 5:30 p.m. head to for a delectable three-course meal for $64 per person. Pick from three appetizers—Calabaza Pumpkin Soup, Rock Shrimp Newburg, or Spinach Salad; three main dishes—Smoked & Roasted Atlantic Salmon, Roasted Turkey Breast & Leg, or 12 Hour Pork Shoulder; and three desserts—Pecan Pie Tart, Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream or a Cheese Plate.
But make reservations now because this award-winning restaurant is sure to fill up fast.
Holiday Feast
Open on Thanksgiving from noon until 7 p.m. is the newest restaurant to hit Clifton, . Not related to Tom Weston's of Fairfax, this new establishment is where the former Heart in Hand Restaurant was located. A prix-fixe menu of the usual holiday fare with soup or salad appetizer, main turkey and ham with cranberries, green beans, mashed potatoes and apple or pumpkin pie for dessert all comes to $24.95.
Breakfast Stuffing
Throw out the idea of a big lunch or dinner and opt for a deliciously large breakfast at the instead. This creperia boasts 14 specialty crepes, or you can create your own. They also offer other breakfast pastries and bagels, barista-served coffee, and sandwiches—plenty of delectibles to make you want to skip the turkey meal.
Poultry with Heart
If you still want to have everyone over but you just can't deal with roasting or frying a turkey yourself, let Fat Tuesday's meet your poultry needs. Fat Tuesday's is offering deep-fried turkeys for $50. And with all the contributions are being donated to the charity organization Operation Support Our Troops, you not only help yourself, but you help a servicemember too. Live rock bands, light fare and a full bar are also available at Fat's after 8 p.m. for those needing an after-meal escape.
Pre-Holiday Bash
For those of you who need to unwind before the guests arrive, visit The Main Street Pub's pre-Thanksgiving Day party. The pub will be throwing a party until 2 a.m. with some specials on the menu and Justin and Mike rocking the crowd.

Shaw slapped with two-week ban
July 4, 2009
Simon Shaw has been banned for two weeks for dangerous play © Getty Images
British & Irish Lions lock Simon Shaw has been banned for two weeks after being found guilty of dangerous play by a disciplinary panel.
Shaw was cited for striking South Africa scrum-half Fourie du Preez with his knee in the first-half of the Lions' 28-9 third Test victory over the Springboks at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday.
The Wasps second-row was yellow-carded for the incident, which forced du Preez from the field, but citing officer Steve Hinds believed the offence required further investigation by the panel.
Shaw has been banned until midnight on August 22, meaning that he will be free to start the season with Wasps against Harlequins at the London Double Header on September 5.
Shaw's ban comes after the IRB confirmed an investigation in to the white armbands worn by South Africa during the third Test to signal a silent protest at the suspension of lock Bakkies Botha. Botha was banned for clearing out Lions prop Adam Jones, who suffered a dislocated shoulder that will rule him out for up to six months, a decision that drew consternation from the Springboks and Lions management.
"The IRB is looking to establish all the relevant facts before making any further comment," said a spokesman.
The South Africa Rugby Players Association has backed the players, chief executive Piet Heymans saying: "The inconsistency has upset the players, and they felt very strongly that they must take a firm stance and show their unhappiness with the application of the relevant law.
"We will be consulting with our legal team next week to consider all our legal options available to assist Bakkies Botha and provide him with a sense of justice."

Machiavelli praised his military genius. European royalty sought out his secret elixir against poison. His life inspired Mozart's first opera, while for centuries poets and playwrights recited bloody, romantic tales of his victories, defeats, intrigues, concubines, and mysterious death. But until now no modern historian has recounted the full story of Mithradates, the ruthless king and visionary rebel who challenged the power of Rome in the first century BC. In this richly illustrated book--the first biography of Mithradates in fifty years--Adrienne Mayor combines a storyteller's gifts with the most recent archaeological and scientific discoveries to tell the tale of Mithradates as it has never been told before.
The Poison King describes a life brimming with spectacle and excitement. Claiming Alexander the Great and Darius of Persia as ancestors, Mithradates inherited a wealthy Black Sea kingdom at age fourteen after his mother poisoned his father. He fled into exile and returned in triumph to become a ruler of superb intelligence and fierce ambition. Hailed as a savior by his followers and feared as a second Hannibal by his enemies, he envisioned a grand Eastern empire to rival Rome. After massacring eighty thousand Roman citizens in 88 BC, he seized Greece and modern-day Turkey. Fighting some of the most spectacular battles in ancient history, he dragged Rome into a long round of wars and threatened to invade Italy itself. His uncanny ability to elude capture and surge back after devastating losses unnerved the Romans, while his mastery of poisons allowed him to foil assassination attempts and eliminate rivals.
The Poison King is a gripping account of one of Rome's most relentless but least understood foes.

Mr. Torvalds Goes to Washington
Once again, the US Chapter of DECUS, the DEC Users Group, is bringing Linus Torvalds, famous for his work with Linux (and for feeding Australian penguins) to the Spring US DECUS Symposium. This event is scheduled for the week of May 6-11 at the convention center in Washington DC.
Unlike what we did at the Spring `94 Symposium in New Orleans (where Linus gave a couple of technical talks), we are planning an entire day of Linux-related sessions on Wednesday, and a half-day seminar by Linus himself on Thursday. The Linux stream and seminar are going to be specially priced to make them easier to attend. In addition, we are going to have several Linux systems available in the UNIX SIG Campground, as well exhibits from a variety of Linux vendors.
Why should you be interested in this conference? Well, Linux does run on a large number of the PC platforms that Digital sells and supports. In addition, Digital (and Linus) are working on a port of Linux to the Alpha AXP architecture (imagine your Linux system running at 300+ MIPS). Digital has announced that an advance developer's kit (ADK) for the Digital Alpha PC is available on gatekeeper.pa.dec.com. One of the scheduled sessions deals with that porting effort.
Why else? Well, this is a rare opportunity to see and listen to Linus Torvalds, outside of Europe and Down-Under. Combine that with the rest of what is being offered at the Spring 95 US DECUS Symposium, and you have a conference well worth attending.
For additional information on the Spring `95 DECUS US Symposium is available in the US DECUS home page at www.decus.org, or request a registration kit by sending e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, or giving the DECUS office a call at 1-800-DECUS-55.
Kurt Reisler (firstname.lastname@example.com) is the Chair of the DECUS UNIX SIG, the captain of the UNISIG International Luge Team, and a collector of teddy bears. Although he has been running Linux for only a year, he has been involved with UNIX for the past 18 years.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Economic development is the number one topic on the minds of Niagara Falls residents. One vocal resident said to me at a local establishment, "We need more jobs in Niagara Falls!" Another complained, "My daughter had to move down south because she couldn't find work after graduating from college." Yet another resident wondered how Niagara Falls, being such a jewel, had gotten to this point? I have a comprehensive economic plan that will transform the fiscal conversations from negative to positive and churn out a comeback that will make all of us proud to live in Niagara Falls.
My major concern is the development of an effective strategy to lengthen the average stay of the eight million visitors who travel to Niagara Falls each year. We are a city dependent upon tourism and hospitality. As such, we need to conduct and appraise our tourism experiences for visitor readiness, appeal, safety and opportunities. We need to evaluate our visitor strategies to attract repeat visits and to optimize our tourism development, marketing and economic success.
In addition, we need to build on the momentum of the Niagara County Community College Culinary Institute to make the corridor between the state park and Seneca Niagara Casino a destination for food, beverage, and specialty shops. This can be accomplished by working with USA Niagara Development Corporation to identify local entrepreneurs who are interested in a "boutique" approach to retail development. Another aspect of my plan is to convince USA Niagara to support and promote the economic revitalization of the entire city, including the
businesses on Buffalo Avenue in LaSalle, Niagara Street, Niagara Falls Boulevard, Pine Avenue, Hyde Park Boulevard and others. The businesses on Buffalo Avenue from 56th Street to Cayuga Drive, for example, desperately need better roads and a way to take capitalize on their proximity to the Niagara River.
In order for Niagara Falls to become a dynamic city, we need a well-trained labor force. Computer skills and specialized training are critical to obtaining a job in today's workforce. I propose that we partner with the Niagara Falls City School District, Niagara County Community College, Niagara County Employment and Training and Niagara University to train and prepare our workforce for 21st century jobs. Educators must ensure that future workers have the right skills while policy makers may have to set new educational standards.
We must have modern and efficient physical infrastructures — roads, bridges, highways, energy systems, telecommunication, airport, train station — that facilitate international trade and investment. If we are going to attract businesses, we need to give increasing attention to cutting-edge infrastructures that make business operations more responsive to international trends.
Manufacturing is making a comeback, and outsourcing jobs to Japan and China for example, doesn't look quite as attractive as it did many years ago. Niagara Falls needs to be prepared to take advantage of the resurgence of manufacturing. The train station is a prime example. The rail project will create 200 full-time and about 400 indirect full-time jobs, with 50 full-time skilled laborers on the project every day for the next 2 years. We need to compete for new energy infrastructure projects, including wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources.
I want to induce a more cooperative dialogue with Niagara Falls Redevelopment to determine its specific needs and what it believes are the essential economic factors necessary to begin development on its land holdings.
I would propose and lead the charge to amend the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law to permit municipalities to take title to all abandoned real or commercial property. I will eliminate the blight and resurrect our neighborhoods.
Finally, as your councilman I will work collaboratively with the other council members, the mayor and other state and local representatives to assure these policy changes become reality I will be an advocate for investment in the city from all sources, including higher tiers of government. To move our city forward, I will keep taxes low and expand our tax base through the creation of affordable housing. My experiences with our community have allowed me to understand the resources we need to move our city in a better direction. Our city needs results, not empty promises and disconnected council members. I will continue to listen to you and be the voice you deserve.Andy Touma is a candidate for Niagara Falls City Council

Tonawanda News — The Kenmore West softball program needed to find a way to get over the hump last season.
And that's exactly what the Lady Blue Devils did when they defeated Frontier in the pre-quarterfinals of the Section VI Class AA playoffs.
After several deep playoff runs the Blue Devils experienced early exits, including a painful loss to Orchard Park on their own diamond two seasons ago. Though the Blue Devils lost to eventual state champion Clarence in the quarterfinals, that win over Frontier helped Ken West reclaim some of its sectional swagger.
"We went through a few years where, although we won the league consistently we didn't do anything in sectionals," coach Matt Chimera said. "When we beat Frontier I think that was a big turn the corner type of game for us."
The Blue Devils return the bulk of the 2012 team that is focused on making a deeper run.
"I think it definitely sets the tone this year of where we want to go," senior Shelby Donhauser said of the win over Frontier. "Because we got there last year I think we can make it even farther this year."
Leading the way will be senior shortstop Marylouise Lindner and the 1-2 punch in the pitching circle of Donhauser and junior Charlotte Miller.
Miller has made incredible strides in her approach since last year. Always the perfectionist, Miller, who throws harder than any other girl in the NFL, would sometimes over think herself into tough situations when her pitches didn't hit the exact spot. Miller now knows that her throws don't always have to be spot on to be effective.
Donhauser, meanwhile, as solid as she was in the circle, was without question the Blue Devils' most consistent hitter.
"She hit over .500 last year and that was a legitimate over .500," said Chimera. "I'd have to look at the stats because she hit at least a dozen doubles. At least a dozen doubles. So she hit a lot of gap balls and we're really hoping she can do it again this year. And Charlotte came through for us with a lot of big hits last year and hit the ball hard."

Win tickets to the CMT Hitlist Tour plus gift certificates for Doolin's Irish Pub and the Roxy
Not only is Grammy-nominated Emerson Drive releasing their fifth studio album, Roll, but the band also announced that they will be co-headlining the 2013 CMT Hitlist Tour with fellow celebrated Canadian country act Doc Walker.
Seeing both groups joined by special guest Aaron Prichett, the CMT Hitlist Tour will be making stops in major cities across the country and will kick off on March 6 in Vancouver B.C. at the Vogue Theatre.
Hot off a collaborative performance with Doc Walker at the 2012 Canadian Country Music Association Awards, Emerson Drive will take to the stage celebrating the incredible success of Roll's first single, "She's My Kind of Crazy." Debuting at number one on the iTunes Country Singles Chart and the highest selling Canadian country song for eight weeks, this song laid the groundwork for the release of "Let It Roll", the album's second single.
"Let It Roll" has quickly become the number one added country song at stations nationwide and, there is no question that the song's official video, which is slated to be released shortly, will only heighten anticipation for the upcoming tour.
Stopping in 17 cities across the country, the 2013 CMT Hitlist Tour promises a one-of-a-kind musical experience by bringing together a staggeringly impressive roster of celebrated Canadian country artists. Given the unique opportunity to tour with friends and label-mates Doc Walker, Emerson Drive will no doubt bring the house down night after night with performances of songs from their 5th studio album along with a handful of their 15 top 10 hits released over the past decade.
The CMT HitList Tour featuring Emerson Drive, Doc Walker, and special guest Aaron Pritchett takes place on March 6 at 8 p.m. at the Vogue Theatre. Tickets are $49.50 + s/c; available through Northern Tickets (northerntickets.com; 604-569-1144).

From Staff and Wire Reports
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin will chair a subcommittee that oversees national mining policy and mining education and research.
The West Virginia Democrat announced his appointment Friday to the Senate energy subcommittee, saying he'll have a say in many issues state residents care about.
"It is an honor and a privilege to chair the Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests and Mining since it oversees so many issues that West Virginians care about the most, especially when it comes to mining policies and public lands," Senator Manchin said. "I am very grateful to our Chairman of the Energy Committee, my dear friend Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, for offering me this position. I am also pleased with the Energy Committee's ranking member, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Both have visited our great state and are committed to working toward an all-of-the-above energy approach that leads to energy independence.
"I am so proud to serve the people of West Virginia on these critical issues, and I hope that the people of our great state continue to share their commonsense ideas, priorities and concerns with me so I can best represent them."
Besides national mining policy, the subcommittee on public lands, forests and mining has oversight over federal mineral leasing, lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service, and the establishment of wildlife refuges on public lands and wilderness designations.

Steelers' Pouncey vying to start as rookie
First-round pick Maurkice Pouncey, once considered to be as more likely to start at right guard than at center as a rookie, has started to receive more work as the first-team center.
Reports: Roethlisberger to play Saturday
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will make his preseason debut at the Giants on Saturday night, according to multiple media outlets.
Steelers' Lewis looking good at corner
Steelers second-year CB Keenan Lewis has impressed in training camp, according to "AFC Whispers," but he had mixed success against Lions WR Calvin Johnson the opening preseason game.
Steelers' Battle learns yet another new offense
Steelers WR Arnaz Battle may be playing for just his second team in eight NFL seasons, but he is accustomed to change. Battle, who signed with Pittsburgh in March after seven years in San Francisco, has played for eight different ...
Gradkowski is coming home. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the free agent quarterback have agreed to a three-year deal that will likely make Gradkowski the primary backup behind starter Ben Roethlisberger. Gradkowski's agent Rick Smith confirmed the deal through his twitter account Wednesday.||||||| The 30-year-old Gradkowski is 6-14 in his career as a starter with Oakland, Cleveland and Tampa Bay. He spent the 2011-12 seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, appearing in five games.
The Bengals have reached an agreement with Gradkowski, who knows Cincinnati's new offensive system and will help develop rookie Andy Dalton.||||||| The 28-year-old quarterback was in Tampa from 2008-09 with Jay Gruden, who was hired as the Bengals' offensive coordinator in February. The Bengals drafted Dalton in the second round in April, but he's been unable to learn Gruden's system from the coaches because of the NFL lockout.
The Oakland Raiders have signed backup quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan after placing Gradkowski on season-ending injury reserve.||||||| The move Thursday comes a day after Gradkowski expressed hope that he could return from his second shoulder injury before the end of the season. But Coach Tom Cable says it is unlikely Gradkowski would have been able to return before then.

From Dev-Scene
2006-11-27 - DPGPlay
DPGPlay v2.4
Firon sysadmin of utorrent has made a DPG player for the PC called DPGPlay.
- New demuxer that doesn't steal focus and overwrite your clipboard's contents, also works faster
- Lets you output temp files to a different folder now so you can use it from SD cards and CDs/DVDs
- Fixed minor bugs (still haven't fixed DPG1 being too dark though)
- Compiled with AutoIt v126.96.36.199
- Minor fix in regards to .fps (it overwrites instead of appending now)
- Fix Demux & Play possibly not working when using the Browse button.
- Added half-working DPG1 support. The movies play way darker than they should. I'll see if I can fix it, but so far I'm having no luck.

In his State of the Park Address, MidAmerica Industrial Park Chief Administrative Officer David Stewart outlined the park's 2014 education initiative.
Stewart, who was the guest speaker at Wednesday's Chamber of Commerce luncheon, began by providing a status update.
He previewed the park's new promotional video, which stresses "Whatever your challenge, MidAmerica Industrial Park is ready."
It boasted MAIP works "smarter, faster and stronger."
"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there," the video quoted Will Rogers as saying, leading Stewart to discuss the park's plans moving forward.
When it comes to the brick and mortar request of the park, Stewart said, MAIP has what potential businesses are looking for.
"The only thing that's truly missing is the workforce. When a business asks where their employees will come from, that's the one thing we can't answer," Stewart said. "Our work for 2014 will focus on getting the last piece of that puzzle in place."
He said because the park has both businesses and educational institutions, the partnership is too good an opportunity to pass up.
The plan is simple, he said. Businesses will adopt individual schools to provide education on employment with the company.
"People from the business will physically go to the schools and tell the students what sort of jobs exist at their particular business and what it takes to get there and what type of salary they are looking at. People don't know the jobs that are available out here, they really don't," said Stewart.
The businesses that choose to adopt a school will offer both mentorship and internships to their school.
This plan was announced on the heels of the dedication ceremony for Rogers State University in MAIP. RSU joins Oklahoma State University Institute
of Technology and Northeastern Technology Center in the 9,000-acre park, showing the park's commitment to education.
Stewart said the goal is to provide potential businesses with employees with the desired skill set, which also keeps skilled workers in this community.
"We have partnered with GRDA (Grand River Dam Authority), our co-sponsor for this initiative. With our combined resources, this gives us just over $1 million to put towards this initiative, to get our students employed locally," said Stewart.
It's a project Stewart called "a righteous job."
"We are excited to partner with the MidAmerican Industrial Park on this new education initiative. Preparing our students for a successful career will develop the needed workforce to grow and expand our economic base," said Dan Sullivan, GRDA CEO. "Fostering realistic expectations of available career paths will help businesses in the Pryor area in their recruiting needs. Matching a prepared graduate with a business that has a hiring need is a win-win combination that will help the entire region."
"From a strategic point of view, this campus will be the cornerstone of future development for MidAmerica," Stewart said in a press statement surrounding the dedication of RSU's new Pryor campus. "We clearly understand the necessity of well-trained and work-ready employees to facilitate the growth of our existing companies and to attract new ones. We want the people of northeastern Oklahoma to know they have a bright future right here at home."
"We appreciate your support, we'll need it," Stewart said in closing. "Our RSU campus is a kick-off to a new era."

It's a fact of life if you're in this biz, you get scooped. Happens to me a lot, darn sleep always gets in the way, but I take it in stride. I figure I can benefit from other folks' wisdom and do a wrap up post.
Clearly, this is touchy subject for some folks. Uber-blogger Erin Kotecki Vest, saying she's "just a mommyblogger" is just not fitting–Erin rocks, called out Arrington and Techcrunch that Mashable posted China blocking CNN.com before he did. I guess Mike didn't like it, cause he blocked her from Twitter. Hmm, maybe we should block him? I haven't had to block anyone from Twitter, yet,and I'm getting a thicker skin (less swearing at the screen now).
I think,Mike, you could learn something from Erin. Hell you should hire her, but that's another story. I love her cutting wit, sense of humour, and savvy. Like this snappy closer to her post:
In fact, you might even lose touch so very much that you have a party with a beauty blog, having really done nothing with the actual majority of women occupying this whole social media, blog, web 2.0 thing you keep reporting on.
In short, Mr. Arrington, it may serve you well to take a few cues from old school media. They might be an aging dinosaur, but they at least know how to handle getting scooped.
If anyone needs anything else, I'll be reading Mashable. Pete is much more handsome anyway, and since it's clear on the web all that matters are looks, I might as well subscribe over there. Source: TechCrunch's Arrington Blocks Mommyblogger
I guess if wittle Mikey can't take it …
Thanks to Colleen for passing this along.

The formation of a citizen-led task force to address long range facility needs for the the City of Olivette is among one of many items to be discussed at tonight's meeting of the Olivette City Council.
The regular meeting of the Olivette City Council will be held at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers.
The City had called on citizens to join the Olivette Future Task Force through its website and, according to Council documents, has received interest from several citizens for the group that will be comprised of a member of the Olivette City Council, a designated member of the Olivette Planning and Community Design Commission and five citizens.
Eight citizens expressed interest in joining the task force. Residents will be picked based on their level of interest and qualifications, according to an email from Olivette City Manager Mike McDowell.
Materials to be presented to Olivette City Councilors tonight detail a timetable for the Olivette Future Task Force.
An initial review and assessment by the task force is expected to be completed by Nov. 20 with the ultimage goal of providing recommendations to the City Council that will be used to adopt an ordinance to hold a Bond Election in August.
The task force was prompted after Olivette voters did not give the necessary approval on a pair of ballot measures last August to fund improvements for police, fire and parks in the city.
Take a look at the attached document to see other items that will be discussed at the Olivette City Council meeting tonight.

I only just noticed today, but one of my back muscles is significantly smaller than the other. I thought maybe it was because I was turning my head to look into the mirror, but my girlfriend confirmed it too. I'm not talking a slight difference, in comparision it looks as though I have no muscle at all on my left side.
I looked it up, and as far as I can tell it is my lower trapezius, this one here;
Is there anyway I can even them out? Seems like such an odd muscle to lack on one side and not the other.
Actually, looking closer it's even lower on my back. I'd say it's my Erector Spinae.

text: I am using the Windows VNC server (Win2k, v3.3.3r9) and a Windows client (Win98 SE). When regularly using Windows (no VNC) a common way to highlight/select text to copy to the clipboard using the keyboard is by holding shift and using the arrow keys to select a few characters or a few lines, etc. While shift works through VNC to make a letter upper-case as well as for every other purpose I have seen, it does not function in this way to highlight text. Has anyone else noticed this behavior, and is there a way to enable it so that I can use shift to highlight text? If not, is there any other way to highlight text in a similar fashion without using the mouse? Thanks, Harry

The Patience Stone
Atiq Rahimi
translated by Polly McLean
Other Press ($16.95)
by Brooke Horvath
Afghanistan is the graveyard not only of empires but of countless Afghan war victims, tens of thousands of whom have died in the internecine struggle for power that commenced upon the withdrawal of the Soviets in 1989. It is in the midst of such fratricidal conflict that Atiq Rahimi—an Afghan writer and filmmaker who fled Afghanistan in 1984 and now lives in Paris—has set his fourth novel, The Patience Stone, winner of the 2008 Prix Goncourt.
As the novel opens, an unnamed woman is tending her comatose husband, shot not by a rival faction but by one of his comrades during a squabble. Beyond the window, its curtains patterned with migrating birds frozen mid-flight, the fight goes on amid daily life somewhere in Afghanistan or elsewhere. The woman, mother of two small girls, attends the intravenous feeding tube and prays, peeks out the window or runs errands, feeds her girls and talks to her unhearing husband. Day follows day, each filled with anxious tedium, horror, and haplessness: the old woman next door wanders the rubble muttering crazed nonsense after finding her son and husband beheaded; patrols pass, and gunfire briefly shatters the silence; soldiers climb through the window to threaten and insult, the woman lying that she is a prostitute to avoid being raped; one of the soldiers returns to pay her to lose his virginity. Meanwhile, the husband lies unmoving, unresponsive, all appeals to Allah unavailing, and the woman, between tasks, sits and reflects, awash in dreams, memories, and confessions.
It is the sharing of her secrets with her husband—the womans first opportunity to speak her mind to him despite ten years of marriage—that constitutes the soul of this novel. As her husband lies there—his mouth half-open, his expression strangely mocking—he becomes her patience stone, a magical stone to which, according to legend, one can confess everything in your heart, everything you dont dare tell anyone . . . until one fine day it explodes. As the days pass, these revelations become increasingly intimate, uncensored, and confrontational:
She moves toward the mans mouth. I have never kissed you. She kisses him. The first time I went to kiss you on the lips, you pushed me away. I wanted it to be like in those Indian films. Perhaps you were scared—is that it? she asks, looking amused. Yes. You were scared because you didnt know how to kiss a girl. Her lips brush against the bushy beard. Now I can do anything I want with you!
Yet tenderness is never absent, for this woman understands that her husband, so brutal and domineering, has been himself a victim of a culture that has warped him, made him unfit for love. She speaks to him of his sexual clumsiness, his empty presence, his inability to share himself. She comes to see mens violence as a form of cowardice, agreeing with something she recalls her aunt, the familys black sheep, once saying: those who dont know how to make love, make war. Near the novels close, she laughs dully and whispers, when its hard to be a woman, it becomes hard to be a man, too!
The womans story, told in bits and pieces, offers then a critique of Afghan sexual/social relations; Khaled Hosseini, author of the acclaimed bestseller The Kite Runner, praises The Patience Stone in his introduction to the book for giving voice to those who, as the fable goes, suffer the most and cry out the least. The irony, of course, is that the voiceless Afghan woman here has been given voice by a male novelist. Still, The Patience Stone remains a courageous book, for there is nothing more taboo, as the French-Iranian journalist Lila Azam Zanganeh puts it, than talking about an Afghan womans body and her sexuality.
Beyond sexual politics and social critique, and beyond the realistic if impressionistic sketches of a city wracked by indiscriminate bloodshed, what is of equal interest is the novels psychology of survival, the womans internal search for salvific truths to replace the deadening lies by which she has habitually lived. As Rahimis heroine reasons, If all religion is to do with revelation, the revelation of a truth, then, my sang-e saboor [my patience stone], our story is a religion too! In this respect, The Patience Stone may remind some readers of the Moroccan novelist Tahar Ben Jallouns This Blinding Absence of Light, which concerns the endurance of a man buried for more than twenty years in a lightless, vermin-ridden cell of a Moroccan prison. In both novels, the ability to endure turns on a refusal to abandon oneself coupled with a need to understand that self more fully.
Or perhaps the more appropriate comparison is to Scheherazade of the Arabian Nights. Both women, after all, are telling stories to save their lives and in the process hope to save their one-man audience. Look, its been three weeks now that youve been living with a bullet in your neck, the woman tells her husband. Thats totally unheard of! No one can believe it, no one! You dont eat, you dont drink, and yet youre still here! Its a miracle. A miracle for me, and thanks to me. Your breath hangs on the telling of my secrets. . . . Dont worry, there is no end to my secrets. The message ought to be clear: stories can save us. To paraphrase the American poet William Carlos Williams, people die miserably every day for lack of such stories.

Cooked Lobster Meat Sources?
Any tips on where to find cooked fresh lobster meat? I need about 1.5 lbs. Whole Foods is my only idea...I want to avoid Costco (not a member) and Trader Joe's (no car and a little out of the way for me). Anywhere in SF easily accessible by Bart or Muni would be great.
I go to New England Lobster in SSF, not easy on transit but the freshest product around. I usually call the day before, and they poach and pull the lobster meat for me right before I come and pick it up. Nice guys there too.
I've had friends get product before at I Love Blue Sea but they are spendy. You can arrange for pick up at Radius instead of paying shipping.
You could also call Sun Fat on Mission and ask if they could cook a lobster for you. I've bought fresh there before.

"In our great country where freedom of expression is basic bedrock, you have suddenly proclaimed that Americans cannot express their opinion on matters in the Middle East for fear of retribution from the 'Jewish Lobby,' " the letter said. "In condemning the Jews of America, you also condemn Christians and others for their support of Israel.''The letter to Carter notes that several white supremacists have "enthusiastically embraced" his suggestion that the Israel lobby stifles debate in America."We can no longer endorse your strident and uncompromising position," read the letter. "This is not the Carter Center or the Jimmy Carter we came to respect and support."
and that they were Joooos
But it speaks volumes about how divisive Carter's book is and how divisive Carter himself has become.
I am so overcome with disgust that I just want to announce it generally to all and specifically to Erb.
Ironically, in much of the world Carter's argument would be met with a "duh, of course, everyone knows that."
Do you think Dershowitz's reaction is weird and "warped" or that it constitutes "ridicule" of Carter?
Yes, I don't have much respect for Dershowitz.
But hey, win you win your Noble peace prize, get accolades from world leaders, have your text read in universities, and have the international fame and respect Carter does,
Carter is speaking truth and principle.
Of course Walt and Mearsheimer, as well as Carter, are not perfect. One can disagree with their conclusions, debate their judgements. But the vicious personal attacks and efforts to destroy and smear really cross the line for me, and I admit it adds emotion to my reaction.
If you disagree with my conclusions and how I do it, state it in a clear specific argument, avoiding generalities and ad hominems.
The viciousness in these comments, toward Erb as much as toward Carter, expose the truth of the main gist of Carter's book: Israel is our 'holy cow', not to be questioned in the same light as our own policies or those of other countries.
The personal attacks on Erb really astound me. They bring to the site a cult-like atmosphere.That may make some feel good, but it will turn away many would-be converts to your movement.
Carter offers a solution for this problem: land exchange. What do you critics offer outside of a blanket pass to Israel?
Unfortunately, these traits did not shine while he was President
but nothing really substantial in response
The [Camp David] agreement also resulted in the United States committing to several billion dollars worth of annual subsidies to the governments of both Israel and Egypt, subsidies which continue to this day.
In the years since his term in office, President Carter hasn't gotten any smarter. Do you have some proof otherwise?
No specific statement or point of actual substance that I see.
Carter is not only perhaps our most intelligent President of recent times, but a man of rare courage of conviction. He knows what he's talking about, he's been on the inside, and he understands he's bucking the establishment. He'll take his knocks because he focuses on truth and principle, and not being PC and worrying about how the attack dogs will be called out. I have more respect for President Carter than for most people alive, and I am absolutely convinced that history, and world public opinion will place him as one of the more effective and important elder statesman.
successful governor, manages to get elected President, wins a Nobel peace prize
How many people here have actually read the book?
Meanwhile, I lived through Carter, the smiling peanut farmer from Georgia, the killer rabbit, his bubba brother, Miss Lillian. The whole crappy 4 years of his administration were a way to finish off the decade that wasn't really a decade - they were just the years between the end of the Vietnam War, and a more sane America brought on by the 80's. You may perceive that to be some brilliant page on our history books, but I don't miss the 70's at all, it'll be another 100 years before we have a decade that screwed up again, and Carter did zero to improve it.
How on earth can you argue with somebody and not look at the evidence they use?

Religious pronouncements seem to have become mandatory for the Democratic candidates in this election. Yet it's been easy to deride the resulting sound bites that are widely repeated—such as Howard Dean's proclamation of his favorite book of the New Testament: the Old Testament book of Job. Host Krista Tippett takes a larger view of what this election has to say about the role of religion in American life. Is it changing, and if so, what is substantive and important in that change?
Our managing producer takes a sharp look at our journalistic profession's cultural appropriation of stereotypes in the political season.
Krista reflects on a recent trip she took to Oxford, Mississippi — the setting for the first 2008 U.S. presidential debate.

Set Of String in Delphi? Yes! Union, Intersection and Difference For String Lists. - October 4, 2011
In Delphi, sets or set types allow you to do set type operations like union, intersection and difference on a set of ordinal values. A set is a collection of ordinal values. The values in a set have no order and it makes no sense to have a value twice (or more times) in a set. Since strings are not ordinal types you cannot have set of string declarations. Or, can you?

ATHENS -- It would help, Jarvis Jones is told politely but firmly, if he would go ahead and say something egotistical. Linebackers are supposed to ooze fierceness. And linebackers with his credentials are supposed to scowl as they say how many more sacks theyll get this year.
Jones doesnt get that. He is maddeningly nice. He is soft-spoken. He says hi to reporters while teammates avoid eye contact. He doesnt even think about going pro while Georgia teammates with less than half his credentials give it serious thought.
He was a consensus All-American last year. And the way he talks, it seems like he thinks he barely deserves to start.
He is the antithesis of Isaiah Crowell, the former Carver and Georgia teammate. Jones has had little handed to him in college. He had to make his way.
Im just blessed to be in this opportunity, to be in this position. I just dont know, Jones said. I went from not being able to play to making a lot of plays.
And for Jones, thats what it all goes back to.
It might seem he has the world at his feet now, those same feet that helped him to 13.5 sacks and 70 tackles last year. The feet that made him a finalist for the Butkus Award, given to the nations top defensive player. The smile that he flashed posing for photos with Andrew Luck and other luminaries as he did the award circuit after last season.
But the time he had football taken away from him is still fresh in Jones memory.
It happened after his freshman season at Southern California, where he had signed out of Carver-Columbus. Jones wanted to play for USC linebackers coach Ken Norton, a former NFL All-Pro linebacker. On a team loaded with talent, before the Reggie Bush scandal broke, Jones played as a backup outside linebacker and on special teams, recording 13 tackles in eight games.
But a neck injury sidelined him. The USC doctors werent going to clear him. It looked like he might not be able to play football.
I was one of those guys that always believed Im going to go to college, play football and go to the NFL. That was taken away from me in my first semester, Jones said.
He remembers being a regular student that second semester. Never mind the Bush scandal that was swirling at USC and would lead to probation and other players transferring. Jones was just worried about his own health.
He just went to class. He played basketball at the rec center with other students.
So it really dawned on me, I didnt know what was gonna be next move, he said. I just thought I was gonna be a regular student. And so that really matured me and made me realize that football is something special.
And for the first time in his life, he wasnt a football player. He was an onlooker.
The people that dont get a chance to play, I realize where that passion and everything comes from, fans and people that are supporters, I feel that passion, because Ive been on that side, Jones said. Thats what keeps me humble. And I realize that I have this second opportunity to be able to play.
Jones transferred back home to Georgia, whose doctors cleared him. For a year he sat out, per NCAA transfer rules. During the 2010 season, as the Bulldogs suffered their worst season in 14 years, Jones was just a rumor, a far-off hope, a player in a green No. 29 who could practice but do little else.
Then he become eligible last year. And the result was one of the best individual seasons in school history.
That could have been it. Jones could have bolted for the NFL and been a first-round pick, assuming teams werent scared off by the neck injury. But Jones ruled it out in November, two months before the deadline and stuck to hi decision.
I think a lot of people respect me because I respect a lot of people I come across, he said. I think I put myself in good situations to be around positive people. People understood me. They know I stayed to get better. They know I stayed to mature and become a better person outside of football.
Well, inside of football, too.
There is plenty still to work on, Jones said, but he talks in generalities. No talk of breaking David Pollacks single-season record of 14. No talk of winning the Butkus. Instead, Jones talks about developing a player, being a student of the game, bettering his craft.
Theres also this: Jones has to get better, because everyone is watching him. And by everyone, that means other offensive coordinator.
As a player, hes gotta understand that theres a lot of good coaches in this league, Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said. And theyre gonna say, All right, were not gonna let this guy wreck the game, and were gonna try to find ways to take him away.
Grantham spent time in the film room in the offseason, to work on those small things Jones talked about. Grantham points out that Jones has only played outside linebacker -- at least in this system -- for a year, so he can still learn about offensive formations and tendencies.
He is still a relatively inexperienced player, with only 14 college starts under his belt and 22 games overall.
Hes working harder than last year, Grantahm said. Not that he didnt work hard last year, but hes more focused in on, These are the things that I need to work on. Thats what good players do. Thats really been the approach with all of the older guys, Here are the areas where you need to improve.
This hasnt been the greatest offseason for Carver graduates with the program. Crowells dismissal was followed by Quintavius Harrow being ruled academically ineligible.
But Jones remains. He said he understands that people back in Columbus are counting on him. When he goes to little league games, he gets recognized.
A lot of people pay attention to me, he said. So I know that Im a big leader to them, Im a mentor to a lot of people. Thats why I always try to keep a clean slate, stay focused and stay a positive person.
Does it feel like pressure? No, Jones answers. He claims to take it in stride. He talks about wanting everyone to be great, leaving it unsaid that hes nearly at that point now. He leaves it unsaid because he might not even be thinking it.
But will there come a point where it finally starts to get to his head?
It wont, he said. As long as Ive got my family that keeps me grounded and remember where I come from. Because everything wasnt always this good. So youve gotta take it in stride and always remember where you come from. Thats what always keeps me motivated.

PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN, AND ISTANBUL, TURKEY — In a significant concession to Islamic militants battling the central government, Pakistani authorities Monday agreed to allow the imposition of Sharia, or Islamic law, in a onetime tourist destination just 100 miles northwest of Islamabad, the Pakistani capital.
The move, the main provision of a cease-fire formally announced Monday by both sides, is likely to set off alarm bells in Washington. The Obama administration has urged Pakistan's struggling civilian government to move decisively against Taliban and Al Qaeda-linked militants in tribal areas along the Afghan border, where Sharia is already in effect, and elsewhere in Pakistan's volatile northwest.

Police are searching for a man who fired shots into two cars in the El Rancho parking lot on Dawson Rd.
June 22, 2007
Tifton--Tift County is cracking down on eyesores. Last year, code enforcement agents in Tift county closed fifty property cases---that means the building was either cleaned up or demolished. This year is no different.
On Whiddon Street in Tift County, you'll find a variety of nice homes--that is until you stumble upon this one.
"Ooooh. Very out of place," says Wesley Mims.
That's how Mims describes the old, rundown house that sits just a few feet away from his own.
"You had druggies coming up to my vehicle trying to sell me merchandise to get drugs," says Mims.
Mims says this house and others like it only attract crime.
"As long as they stand, it gives crack heads and alcoholics. The opportunity to go in and utilize the place," says Mims.
His neighbors finally put a stop to the illegal activity going on inside the house by contacting Tift County code enforcement.
"That's what it's all about, bringing the neighborhood back,"says Mims.
So far the county has more than 100 dilapidated homes on records. Out of that number, 28 of those homes have been demolished or cleaned up."
"We're in the process of closing as many as possible," says code enforcement director, Carl Fortson.
Just Friday, Fortson paid a visit to this mobilehome where an elderly man had been living in what looked like a landfill.
"It was just deplorable conditions for a human being to live in," says Fortson.
These are photos of what Fortson found on the inside: garbage and clutter everywhere.
"There was so much debris in the home, it took an hour to get him out. He could be fined," says Fortson.
Folston and his team are beefing up patrol in the area to make sure Tift County stays clean.
"Tifton and Tift County is one of the cleanest cities in the United States and we want to keep it that way," says Fortson.
And appreciates homeowners, like Mims, who follow the law.
"We need good examples, that helps us a lot," says Fortson.
But Mims says he's just doing what any good homeowner would do.
"We're here to build a community instead of tear it down," says Fortson.
Property owners have ninety days to comply with the county's code ordinance if they are found in violation of it. If they fail to, they can face hefty fines and spend up twelve months in prison or both.

Unconventional Diagnoses
By Burton Goldberg
Alternative medicine is best known for preventing health problems, but it can also enable us to detect degenerative disease well before it becomes a serious threat. Part of its advantage stems from the tendency of alternative practitioners to evaluate the whole body to look for causes of disease. I don't think my heart doctor would have died of cancer or my cancer doctor died of heart disease if they had been able to see systemic imbalances rather than focusing on one particular body part that was diseased. Finding out about such an imbalance early on might well have given each a fighting chance of reversing his illness.
Alternative diagnostic methods also offer a degree of sensitivity you won't often find in conventional medicine, which relies heavily on standard blood workups that don't always pick up on subtle problems. An example of this sensitivity appears in the work of physician Wolf-Dieter Kessler, who uses electromagnetic frequency to detect problems like hormonal imbalances well ahead of conventional methods.
In our industrialized world we all "dance close to the fire," as a friend of mine, physician Garry Gordon, likes to say. The fire is a devastating health condition and the dance is the combination of our sedentary lifestyle, toxic environment, and poor diets. With knowledge from new diagnostic mechanisms, however, we can learn when and how to move away from the fire.
I believe that if we make use of these new tools, we can drastically reduce our chances of facing a diagnosis of any number of advanced degenerative diseases.
With that in mind, I've asked four alternative physicians to tell me what they think are among the most promising new diagnostic methods available today. While more research is warranted on all of them, I believe they represent exciting new ways to apprehend serious illnesses early enough to head them off with natural and non-invasive methods.
Garry Gordon
Blood Viscosity Test
Garry Gordon, who practices in Payson, Arizona, reports that he has made exceptional progress in preventing stroke and heart attack by focusing on the viscosity of blood rather than on the arteries that contain it. Measuring viscosity accurately, however, is surprisingly tricky, and Gordon is one of the few who has an effective protocol that employs natural techniques.
Unlike most fluids, blood is thin while moving but thick when it slows—and blood should flow like wine, not ketchup! Why are we so prone to ketchup-like blood? Some have speculated that thousand of years of violent human activity have selectively bred our species to be geared toward surviving bodily injury (by rapid control of bleeding) rather than toward just surviving into a peaceful and healthy old age. The fight-or-flight stress response triggers the flow of the insoluble protein called fibrin, and fibrin responds to injury by causing blood coagulation or clotting. So in modern humans under stress, whether physical or emotional, the mec...
