Peter FitzSimons, of all people, rails against Alan Jones:
No kidding, even after knowing Alan Jones for nigh on 30 years, the sheer audacity of his hypocrisy, the chilling chutzpah of it, still takes my breath away. I mean, how can he front up to work day after day and take the positions he does, when so many of us know - even if his audience doesn't - his complete intellectual and moral bankruptcy?
Fitzsy's got his big red bandana all bunched up because Jones is saying wrong things about the Holy Warming. Remember, however, that it was FitzSimons who apologised to Osama bin Laden following 9/11. You really want to talk about "moral bankruptcy", mate? Mass killings are on bandana-man's mind again today:
Imagine for a moment how different the international media coverage might have been this week if, instead of being a white Christian fundamentalist, the murderous Norwegian madman who killed more than 70 mostly young Norwegians had been a Middle Eastern Muslim man.
One difference: if the killer was Middle Eastern and a Muslim, FitzSimons would have said sorry to him.
As it is, while the coverage has sensitively reported the terrible tragedy of what occurred, there has been no talk of ''terrorism'' and no headlines about ''Christian fundamentalists declaring war'', etc. So, what is the difference?
He actually needs this explained to him. Consider just the scale, Peter. One attack versus hundreds. Dozens of deaths relative to thousands. A solitary killer compared to an organised and ideologically coordinated worldwide movement preaching death to the west.
Why, when it is a Christian fundamentalist nutter, do we in the media focus on the fact that he's a nutter and when it is an Islamic fundamentalist nutter we focus on the fact that he is Islamic?
In fact, a great deal of coverage has focused on Breivik's religious and political views. FitzSimons cannot possibly have missed this. Then again, so much else fails to reach the FitzSimons brain. That bandana must have an awesome tinfoil liner.

Julia Gillard wins unlikely praise from columnist Jimmy Jones of Tennessee's Shelbyville Times-Gazette:
This is one politician that is not backing down in the name of political correctness.
Sadly for Jimmy, his praise is based on a speech that Gillard never made. It's been kicking around the internet in various forms now for nearly a decade.

Any assassination talk should rightly be examined, but I'm not sure that a crocodile cake reaches the same level of concern:
The Australian Federal Police is looking at statements by members of the public calling for the assassination of the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and members of her government but has yet to determine whether any warrant investigation.
The police confirmed developments were being assessing amid a rising concern about the increasingly spiteful nature of the public discourse that surrounds politics.
This concern extended yesterday to reports that the Northern Territory senator and Coalition shadow minister Nigel Scullion had won a local celebrity cake-baking competition with a cake shaped as a crocodile eating Ms Gillard.
How far back might investigations go? The band Frenzal Rhomb may require assessment, according to a 2004 report:
Several years ago when the rockers celebrated securing a $25,000 federal arts grant they made John Howard pinatas to be smashed to pieces during a Big Day Out performance.
Howard piñatas also featured during the 2007 election:
"Particular attention was paid to accurately recreating Mr Howard's shifty eyes," writes the seller.
"For the true Howard-hater, this piñata is made from four layers of papier mache, providing enough structural integrity for repeated beatings. It's fun for the whole family!"
One such piñata met its demise at an election night party attended by various peaceful folk. Here we see the piñata prior to attack. Note the caption:
There were chants of 'kill the pig'.
UPDATE. Threats lead to charges:
A man accused of making bomb threats over social networking sites will front court today after being charged by police.
Police attached to the Joint Counter Terrorism Team arrested the 30-year-old man after he allegedly posted menacing threats on a social networking site.
He was taken to Bankstown Police Station yesterday where he was interviewed and later charged with two counts of use carriage service for bomb hoax, and one count of use carriage service to harass/menace.
Two search warrants were executed and the man's home and car were searched.
No court report as yet.

Patrick Michaels hails the possible return of Ursus bogus, but a lot of Michaels's fellow science people ain't happy:
The suspension of a wildlife biologist known for his research on drowned polar bears is causing confusion and alarm in scientific circles.
And that's just the start of it. According to the same article, scientific circles are also befuddled, flabbergasted and outraged. It's now emerged that the biologist in question wasn't suspended over poley issues:
A federal official says the suspension of Alaska wildlife biologist Charles Monnett is unrelated to a 2006 article Monnett wrote about presumably drowned Arctic polar bears.
But the actual reason remains unclear:
The official overseeing offshore oil drilling in Alaska said that a top Arctic scientist was suspended for "integrity issues" outside his work on polar bears.
It's an authentic poley mystery.

Former SBS Dateline executive producer Mike Carey reviews the 2004 capture and release in Baghdad of antiwar journalist John Martinkus, and decides that News Ltd has questions to answer …
… but they're not principally about ethics in journalism. For many of Murdoch's heaviest hitters journalism isn't their stock in trade but rather lobbying and propaganda. Sometimes this is to protect the interests of News and on other occasions it's barracking for political friends and ideological family …
In 2004, when I was executive producer of SBS Television's Dateline program, I took a call from Mike Ware. Mike was Time Magazine's correspondent in Baghdad and he feared his good friend and our video-journalist, John Martinkus, had been kidnapped. It proved to be nauseatingly true …
On his way home, still in shock, John told part of his story to the ABC's Mark Willacy at Aman airport in Jordan. He was met by a wall of cameras at Sydney Airport where he asked [then foreign minister Alexander] Downer for an apology, explaining he'd been released because he wasn't a legitimate target in the eyes of his captors — unlike those who were part of the occupation force.
So far, much as you'd expect from a senior SBS type. But then Carey writes:
What followed was an orchestrated campaign to undermine John Martinkus. Leading the charge were Rupert Murdoch's warriors, Andrew Bolt and Tim Blair. They both consistently and deliberately misquoted what John had said about why he had been released by his captors.
A few points. There was no "orchestrated campaign"; no emails, phone calls, faxes, no conspiracy at all. Just me and a laptop.
Carey also claims that I "consistently and deliberately misquoted" John Martinkus. These links will take you to everything I wrote about him, including a piece that gave Martinkus his say. If Carey can find any examples in these items of consistent and (more seriously) deliberate misquoting, I'd like him to point them out. If he can't – and by now the possible significance of the word "deliberate" should be dawning on Carey and his publishers at New Matilda – then we've got to work on a remedy. A donation to charity might do it.
Oh, and one more thing.
In 2004, when Carey says I was among "Rupert Murdoch's warriors" and "Murdoch's heaviest hitters" in the "Liberal Party/News Ltd nexus" leading the "vilification" of Martinkus for "the Murdoch press", I wasn't employed by Murdoch or News Ltd. In fact, by then it had been four years since I'd left the Daily Telegraph to freelance. At the time, I had a column at The Bulletin. The blog was private. I returned to News Ltd in late 2006.
Let the corrections begin.
UPDATE. The article now carries this postscript:
An earlier version of this story contained a number of errors. In it, it was alleged that Tim Blair and Andrew Bolt had "consistently and deliberately misquoted" John Martinkus in their coverage of Mr Martinkus's kidnapping in Iraq. We retract this claim.
It was also claimed Mr Blair was involved in an "orchestrated campaign" against Mr Martinkus. We acknowledge that although Mr Blair's coverage of the kidnapping in a number of blog posts brought Mr Martinkus's credibility into question, this did not constitute an orchestrated campaign.
It is also acknowledged that Mr Blair was not in fact working for News Ltd at the time that he wrote the blog posts in question.
It has been pointed out to us that the article might have been interpreted as suggesting that Mr Blair had behaved improperly in his role as a journalist. We did not intend to convey any such suggestion. If the article did give rise to such a suggestion it was completely without foundation.
We greatly regret any distress or embarrassment that our article may have caused to Mr Blair, and insofar as it might have conveyed any such suggestion, we apologise to Mr Blair and withdraw that suggestion unreservedly.
Seems fair. I'm still asking for a super puppy donation, however. Many readers wanted me to take things further, but a serious defamation case may have wiped New Matilda out, and I'm happier for a good-cause ending. In fact, I'll match any New Matilda donation dollar-for-dollar.

Another success looms for Australia's official hopeless mate:
Refugees in Malaysia are threatening to pay people smugglers to take them to Australia, saying they'll be treated better when they're sent back under the asylum seeker swap deal.
Human-rights organisations have criticised the deal, saying it could actually act as a pull factor for boat people and creates a two-tier refugee system.
Truly, we are blessed to be ruled by this Hennimore of governments.
(Via Waxing Gibberish)
UPDATE. It never stops, it just goes on and on:
The ghost of the $2.45 billion pink batts fiasco has come back to haunt the federal government, with revelations that 4000 installers for the scheme have either cheated on their tax returns or failed in their tax obligations.
Documents obtained by The Daily Telegraph also confirm the Australian Tax Office is targeting the government's controversial Building the Education Revolution program to search for further tax dodgers.
The carbon tax scams will be magnificent.

This could be something:
A federal wildlife biologist whose observation in 2004 of presumably drowned polar bears in the Arctic helped to galvanize the global warming movement has been placed on administrative leave and is being investigated for scientific misconduct, possibly over the veracity of that article.
Charles Monnett, an Anchorage-based scientist with the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, or BOEMRE, was told July 18 that he was being put on leave, pending results of an investigation into "integrity issues."
It was my understanding that all at-risk poleys had already been rescued by John Kerry. An investigation will sort things out.
(Via Brat)
UPDATE. Also interesting:
NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.
(Via Larry T.)
UPDATE II. Naturally, there's a Big Green Al angle:
Monnett and a colleague published an article in the science journal Polar Biology, writing: "Drowning-related deaths of polar bears may increase in the future if the observed trend of regression of pack ice and/or longer open water periods continues."
The paper quickly heightened public concern for the polar bear. Al Gore, citing the paper, used polar bear footage in his film Inconvenient Truth.
This clip would be brilliant with an Al Gore voiceover.

Until we know otherwise, it's probably safest to assume that this fellow is a Norwegian Christian:
Suicide bomber with explosives in turban kills populist Kandahar mayor
We await confirmation from Norgen Moogen Blasten or any of the many other fundamentalist Norwegian terror cells currently active worldwide.
(Via Larry T.)
UPDATE. Extremist Norwegianism in Lebanon:
A roadside bomb blew up a UN vehicle near the southern Lebanese port city of Sidon on Tuesday, wounding at least three peacekeepers, Lebanese security and witnesses said.
UPDATE II. In fairness to Norwegian Christians, other groups are also sometimes responsible for terrorist attacks. Indeed, various groups associated with one particular faith have apparently killed more than 7000 people since 1990.
UPDATE III. Trouble again at Fort Hood:
At least one U.S. military serviceman has been arrested after raising concerns over another alleged plot to attack Fort Hood, Fox News has learned exclusively.
Pvt. Nasser Jason Abdo, an AWOL soldier from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, was arrested by the Killeen Police Department near Fort Hood and remains in custody there.
As reader Dan Foty points out, that name sounds vaguely Norwegian.
UPDATE IV. Cancel Update III. Not a Norwegian. Apologies.

Hours of entertainment await. Just click and keep clicking around. The PDF at this link is a good place to start.
UPDATE. Ownership has now become stewardship, and the amount given to carbon offset companies has grown from 50 per cent to 70 per cent.
UPDATE II. Incredibly, the Fairfax-owned Canberra Times yesterday gave Earthcaire a big plug:
The air above Sydney Opera House can be yours for a price under a system of ''atmospheric ownership''. Earthcaire has listed for sale the ''greenhouse tiles'' above the Australian landmark on eBay, with a starting bid of $1000. The idea is this promotes getting the public to care for the Earth's atmosphere …
As of yesterday the Sydney Opera House atmospheric tiles were fetching $1625. If you'd like to bid, the eBay item number is 320733282894 and half the purchase price is tax deductible.
The auction has been pulled. Incidentally, they're atmospheric "titles", not "tiles". Don't you people know anything about science?

Protected by his impenetrable banana shield, Wayne Swan effortlessly deflects blame for rising inflation:
• Treasurer Wayne Swan blamed the sharp increase in fruit prices – especially bananas, following the summer floods – for almost half the jump in the headline inflation rate.
• With some consumers paying $14 a kilo for bananas, Wayne Swan says the economy still hasn't shaken off the effect of floods and cyclone in Queensland.
• Wayne Swan blamed one-off factors, such as soaring banana prices from the Queensland storms and higher world oil prices, for yesterday's 3.6 per cent headline inflation.
• Treasurer Wayne Swan said the main driver was still the summer of natural disasters with bananas up by an unprecedented 470 per cent since then.
But as Wayne himself said in 2006, following an earlier banana-wrecking cyclone:
They can go out there and blame the price of bananas; they can go out there and blame tropical cyclones, or even tropical fruit … They will attempt to use bananas as a shield …
What was that, Wayne? Couldn't hear you behind all those frickin' bananas. No reporters have so far even mentioned the treasurer's previous views on bananas and inflation, which were highlighted yesterday by alert Catallaxy Files reader Token. Well, none except the Daily Telegraph's Phil Jacob:
Treasurer Wayne Swan blamed banana prices for the CPI figures, suggesting the 27 per cent increase in fruit prices had added 0.4 per cent to the overall inflation rate …
However, the Treasurer's comments come in direct contrast to the ones he made as shadow treasurer in 2006.
Speaking after Cyclone Larry destroyed almost 80 per cent of the nation's banana crop and led to the nation's CPI rising by 3.9 per cent for the September quarter, Mr Swan slammed then treasurer Peter Costello for "attempting to use bananas as a shield".
Possibly aware that his own banana shield won't last forever, Swan subsequently put on a display of moral outrage:
The shadow treasurer, Joe Hockey, dismissed the floods as an excuse. "They put their hands in the air and blame some natural disaster,'' he said. ''It's their own actions."
Mr Swan was incensed, saying as a proud Queenslander he found Mr Hockey's reference to "some natural disaster" nothing short of offensive. "This is the same shadow treasurer who described the global financial crisis as a hiccup.''
Hey, Wayne's getting his memory back. Good for him.

Barnaby Joyce moves in on one of the Gillard independents:
Senator Joyce joined Opposition Leader Tony Abbott on a trip to a farm at Spring Ridge, southwest of Tamworth, today to campaign against the government's carbon tax.
In April, the former accountant flagged leaving the Senate to contest the seat of New England – currently held by key independent Tony Windsor.
But not very tightly. Windsor believes he will prevail, however, and he's got the polls to prove it:
Mr Windsor played down speculation of a backlash against him over the carbon tax.
He said a recent survey of his electorate found 80 per cent support for increasing renewable energy.
"If you ask people if they want to be a part of creating a better world for their great grandchildren, they'll say yes," Mr Windsor said.
That question could be slightly misleading. Next time, it might be best to just ask them about the carbon tax.
UPDATE. Corrected. Windsor, of course, is a member of the lower house.

It's about time, it's about space
About strange people in the strangest place
It's about time, it's about flight
Travelin' faster than the speed of light
About space people and a brave crew
As through the barrier of time they flew
Pass the roman senators, pass an armored knight
Pass the firing minutemen to this modern site
It's about time for you and me
To meet these people of amazing feats
It's about two astronauts and how they educate
A pre-historic woman and her pre-historic mate
It's about time, it's about space
About strange people in the strangest place
They will be here with all of us
Dodging a taxi, a car, a bus
Where will they go? What will they do?
In this strange place where everything is new
Will they manage to survive watch each week and see
Will they get accustomed to the twentieth century
It's about time for our good byes
To all our pre-historic gals and guys
And now it's about time, it's about time
It's about time, it's about time

Beer Growlers in SF Bay Area?
After reading the recent article in the NYT about fills for beer growlers, I was wondering if there are any local breweries that fill growlers particularly in the East Bay?
Speakeasy fills growlers for sure and so does Drakes in San Leandro. So do most breweries, including Russian River. The hangup as I understand it in California anyway is that providers are only allowed to fill growlers that they sell you.
re: shellshock24
this seems to be the relevant statute. I agree with you, I think it's sort of silly. Why can't they just slap a new label on your growler when they fill it? I'm not sure who this law is protecting
• Section 25200 Business and Professions Code states:
All beer sold in this State shall have a label affixed to the package or container thereof, upon which shall appear the true and correct name and address of the manufacturer of the beer, and also the true and correct name of the bottler of the beer if other than the manufacturer. No manufacturer, importer, or wholesaler of beer shall use a container or carton as a package or container of a beer other than such beer as is manufactured by the manufacturer whose name or brand of beer appears upon the container or carton, or use as a package or container of a beer a container or carton which bears the name of a manufacturer of beer or the brand of any beer other than those of the manufacturer

The new renovations probably made the place a little fancy for the area but it is beautifully done and their food continues to improve. The view is fabulous and the outdoor dining, though quite basic, is fun and quite good.
The new renovations probably made the place a little fancy for the area but it is beautifully done and their food continues to improve. The view is fabulous and the outdoor dining, though quite basic, is fun and quite good.
Beautiful location on Gull Lake. Great bar and the restaurant had a great menu. Service was friendly and good.
As former residents of the Brainerd Lakes area, we were eager to try the new Bar Harbor restaurant as we had heard very positive comments about it. We were not disappointed! The four of us (we were with a local couple) had two orders of linguine vongole and two orders of scallops/shrimp among us--excellent! As was the service. The decor... More
Have wanted to have dinner here for years and finally got the chance last Saturday night. Promptly seated for our reservation by the friendly host we had an unusual table that sort of overlooks the room. Had requested a window seat but this one proved to be better as it was more private and quiet. Service was excellent. Friendly, personable... More
We had the whole family to dinner at Bar Harbor. The Walleye sandwich with sweet potato fries was to die for, an excellent value. The others in the party had, variously, pistachio-encrusted walleye, salmon, sirloin steak, and the daily special which happened to be spaghetti and meatballs--all enjoyable and well cooked but I still think the star of the show... More
We stopped in for a drink and appetizer on a Saturday evening- & sat on the new beautiful patio. View is great and there happened to be a boat show. It was fun to browse the boats docked there and people and 'boat watch'. Drinks were good as was simple appetizer,,BUT, we sat for 15 minutes as 4 different waitstaff... More
We stopped here for dinner with our daughter and her husband. The food was superb. Good service, too. The porterhouse steak was done very well, and my wife's pistachio-crusted walleye was excellent. Not the cheapest place in town, but one of the best for fine dining. Drive your car or boat up to the dock on the north end of... More
Had high hopes for Bar Harbor after the extensive remodel and recent improvements, but mixed emotions about the result. The newly renovated space is very nice. Not accousticaly improved but visually very nice. I was hoping the food would be a step up too, but I have mixed emotions. I think the ingredients are good..........very tender filet mignon, nice, fresh... More
My wife and I had dinner last week over the 4th returning for the first time in a number of years to the new Bar Harbor restaurant. It was a great experience. Very nice menu, beautiful location and fantastic service. We have been to all of the nicer restaurants in the Brained Lakes area and this ranks right at the... More
Great food choices, all were excellent tasting. I had the steak salad and it was cooked perfectly and the peppercorn dressing was amazing.

One of our primary goals modding Skyrim is to enhance the game world, immersion, and depth of TES lore and gameplay, not to drastically alter the game to suit a few individual's wishes. 'Enhance' can mean a variety of ideas or directions depending on the individual, but this subreddit serves mostly as a showcase and open forum to talk about the world we play in and work to improve. Approach this subreddit with an open mind; the users here are experienced and willing to help, don't squander that resource by making simplistic or empty demands. The rewards that come from learning how to mod and implementing your vision into the game come to those with the patience and desire to learn just as much as play.

Does the official hi res texture pack get updated when new DLC is released? (self.skyrimmods)
submitted 1 year ago by Jakegently
The title says it all, thanks in advance.
[–]chesko256 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Good news, it looks like the High Res Texture Pack may have just gotten an update. I am downloading HighResTexturePack03.bsa right now. I'll report back as soon as it finishes.
[–]chesko256 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago*
So, good news and bad news.
Bad news, it doesn't seem to contain Hearthfire textures.
Good news, it does contain Dragonborn textures, as well as some actor textures from Dawnguard.
Edit: Looks like HighResTexturePack01.bsa and HighResTexturePack02.bsa got updated as well, and includes the rest of the expected Dawnguard and Hearthfire textures! Everyone say, "Thank you Bethesda"...
Since this subreddit doesn't have spoiler tags, if you would like to see a full file directory, you can check this post on the Bethesda forums.
I'm noticing that a lot of these are from the base game, such as new facial textures for all races and sexes, as well as textures for common creatures, like bears, deer, elk, and so on!
[–]GrimmRevelation 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Thank you Bethesda!
[–]Twizz3753 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Replying to come back to this later for update
[–]isteppedinpoop 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
For better textures than the DLC and fixed/improved static meshes, I use these mods:
Static Mesh Improvement Mod - SMIM
Skyrim HD - 2K Textures
Improved NPC Clothing - High Res
There are new textures/meshes for Hearthfire and Dawngaurd in these mods. Not sure about Dragonborn yet.
No, unfortunately. Which makes me mad. Some of the Hearthfire and Dragonborn textures are awful.
[–]Jakegently[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Agreed. Hopefully someone will put something out soon
Actually, it does, now. Skyrim just updated and the pack comes with textures now :0
[–]c0ldsh0w3r -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
Download the simple mesh improvement mod. It un uglifies the game.
all it takes is a username and password

I never have, but I always think about it after they leave. I've only had movers for a company-funded relocation, and my company told me in both instances that the movers were paid for, so I didn't feel compelled to tip them. I did hook them up with some drinks and snacks though, so I figure that was good.
As for carrying out food, I don't tip. You tip your server for the service you get. If you're picking it up, you already had to drive to get the food, pick it up, bring it back to your place, and set it up for consumption. You effectively became the server in that instance, to my way of thinking.

as already well said, who needs govt help earning 58,000 a year. Guess my spouse and and I are missing out on some good govt gravy. Let's stop the excess give some of the "disabled" a shovel to stand in front of public bldg for 7.5 hours - they have to have lunch - and "earn" their check.
Guess it would come to this where we turn on each other, and forget all the excesses our "public servants" have for themselves at our expense.
BARACK OBAMA'S health reforms include a substantial marriage penalty, according to Diana Furchtgott-Roth. Couples who wed could suddenly find that they no longer qualify for assistance:
Two singles would each be able to earn $43,000 and still receive help to purchase health insurance, but if they got married and combined their earnings to $86,000, they would be far above the limit. As a married couple, the most they could earn and still get government help would be $58,000, a difference of almost $30,000, or 32%. This looks like a substantial disincentive to getting married, or to working while married.
The penalty extends also to single mothers. Say Sally is a single mother earning $43,710, putting her and her baby at 300% of the poverty line. They would be eligible for the health insurance premium assistance credit.
But what if Sally wants to marry Sam, the father of her child, who earns $43,320, and is at 400% of the federal poverty line? Their total earnings, at $87,030, would exceed the 400% poverty line for a family of three ($73,240). Married, they would no longer receive help with their health insurance premiums, despite both earning the credit when unmarried. In order to keep her government health insurance benefit, Sally could only marry someone earning less than $30,000.
One can never entirely rid the tax code of perverse incentives, but this sounds like quite a bad one. More thoughts on marriage and inequality here.

Hi Debbie
You need to repost your message on the local Netmums noticeboard for your area where local members in your area will see your message and hopefully be able to help you.
This is because whilst the coffeehouse is national, our local sites offer a vast amount of local specific boards, listings and information and this means that local queries are more likely to be seen and answered by other local members in that area.

Project by blockhead | posted 1130 days ago | 1932 views | 4 times favorited | 30 comments |
I have to say that this is one project that I'm glad to be done with. It fought me tooth and nail from the word go. The main box is made from Birch, which is my first time using, other than in ply form. This is not a user friendly wood, at least it wasn't for me that is. I made this for my wife's birtdhday and it ended up being a couple of weeks late. Even with very sharp blades, bits, ZC inserts, etc. it still wanted to chip and break out. I even got chip out one time when I stared at it too hard, lol. Anyway, it's done now and my wife was excited about it and that's what matters.
The woods used are Birch, Purpleheart, Aromatic Cedar and Cherry. The Cherry dowels are inserted through some copper bushings I had. There was supposed to be a pull out insert for the dividers, but when I put it in for the last time, one of the pieces snapped and it was ruined. I had the dividers in and out numerous times while fitting them with no problems. It was as if the box was making sure it had the last word. Anyway, I will wait and see what my wife is going to do with it and then I will make some new ones accordingly.
If you are interested in making something similar, check out Andy's Art Box tutorial. Thanks again Andy! Any comments/critiques are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Latest Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Articles
When it comes to research, you would expect that the wants of those living with type 1 diabetes would be totally in line with the goals of scientists seeking a cure for the disease.
But according to the Juvenile Diabetes Cure Alliance, a watchdog organization with a vested interest in type 1 progress, the two sides are surprisingly far apart. According to the group, most funding for research projects goes toward long-term goals with a timeline that won't impact the lives of today's type 1s, despite the desire for those with type 1 to live a more normal life.
"A practical cure would mean that my kids could just be kids," said one mom of her daughters Bella and Elie, "and not have to worry about diabetes."
The JDCA wants to see that equation changed, and has set 2025 as a target date for a practical cure, defined as any advancement that would allow those with type 1 to live free from insulin intake and glucose monitoring.
Founded in 2011 by Brian Kelly, whose son, Tommy, was diagnosed at the age 2, the young but motivated group is a response to Kelly's disappointment that many major charities raise hundreds of millions of dollars each year by promising a cure, yet offer little, he says, by way of measurable goals.
So abysmal is the goal-setting and transparency regarding where that funding goes that the JDCA recently dispensed failing grades to the top four diabetes-related non-profit organizations, including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the American Diabetes Association, the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation, and the Joslin Diabetes Foundation.
The JDCA reports what it calls "systematic deficiencies" in how the groups operate, especially when it comes to research projects. The JDCA says all four offer little accountability when it comes to not only where donor funds are spent, but also whether those funds are going toward projects that are actually geared toward finding a cure for diabetes.
"These glaring areas of weakness make it difficult for donors to know where to give," said Pete Miselis, director of research for the JDCA. "Donors are being left in the dark with no way to find out whether their contributions are advancing a cure. We believe a more informed donor base will result in more contributions, which will bring us closer to finding a cure."
How Its Focus Shifted
Originally, the JDCA focused on reporting new, short-term advancements in type 1 research through regular published reports as a way to not only keep those interested abreast on cure progress, but also to bring a greater sense of hope to those living with the disease.
That somewhat abstract idea, though, was soon was propelled into something much bigger as the organization's key members realized they were standing virtually alone in their mission to find a practical cure for those living with type 1.
Even though a vast majority of people with type 1 say a practical cure today would be their preference, not only were top non-profits failing to fund many projects-long-term research and type 2 receives a majority of funds- but those that did fall into that category were often not funded sufficiently to make any real progress.
Without full funding, many promising projects ended up fizzling out, much to the disappointment of JDCA officials.
"From the beginning it was clear," the JDCA's general manager, Phil Shaw said. "Is there enough energy on the focus for this generation? Are projects going to be fully funded and resourced? The answer was always no. We see a lot of news and breakthroughs, but for most of them that promise a cure, the timing is questioned. Tell us how it gets from here to bedside."
The JDCA then became focused more attention on how the diabetes non-profits determined which research projects received funding and which ones did not.
Although information was limited, they ultimately found that larger research centers were getting the majority of available funding, no matter what direction their research was headed, while smaller centers, often the ones focused more on practical cure initiatives, were falling off the radar.
"They may not be operating as efficiently as they could be," said Shaw of the top four non-profits. "Within the landscape as it exists today, it's clear that there's a deficit of progress."
It's likely difficult for type 1s not to feel dejected at the lack of progress along with the politics of funding, so the JDCA began expanding its role to help funnel funds toward projects that offer real optimism for a practical cure.
To do so, the JDCA began actively seeking out projects that were geared toward a practical cure.
"We're looking for something that can allow for a normal lifestyle that has a chance to be in people's hands by 2025," said Shaw.
Attracting a Following
According to Shaw, 90 percent of the people they've surveyed are looking for a practical cure in this generation. And because the JDCA makes that its main mission, the organization has begun attracting attention- it now has 6,000 donors on its rolls.
While the organization doesn't directly provide funding, it does serve as a link between donors and projects, encouraging funding to go toward a practical cure.
"We work with them to secure a direct practical cure initiative, which kind of makes perfect sense," said Shaw. "Through our advocacy, we've begun to attract people."
For JDCA, a handful of projects have gained some attention, but only after rigorous study to ensure that the 2025 marker that's been set applies, along with the funding and resources available to continue the project from start to finish.
Most organizations have a target date that's much further out or unmentioned, meaning that those who are currently living with diabetes won't see a cure.
While many larger researcher centers are working on long-term goals, there are smaller centers with projects that would fall into the spectrum of practical cure initiatives.
The problem then becomes funding, since smaller facilities are not as high on the food chain as larger, more established ones, making them less attractive to donors.
Under the spotlight of the JDCA, however, those smaller researchers have a chance at better funding that could lead to success.
Looking for a Change
Part of the hope is that the larger non-profits will also be encouraged to shift some of the focus away from long-term projects toward shorter ones.
"We're not asking for the entire portfolio to be changed," said Shaw, adding that the organization is only looking to have more funding funneled toward practical cure outcomes, rather than long-term cures or type 2 research in order to provide hope for this generation of type 1s.
Too, the JDCA is also hoping to bring a sense of community to the researchers focusing on diabetes to help promote working together to find that elusive cure.
As with a host of other diseases and the research that accompanies them-the 1980s AIDS crisis is one example-researchers tend to be a protective over even the smallest of finds, so that sharing data and breakthroughs isn't as forthcoming as it chould be.
Ultimately, it puts the entire cost of that withholding on the shoulders of patients, who don't experience the benefits that could come from collaborative research.
"We kind of believe that competition speeds results, a balance between that competition and collaboration," Shaw said. "We don't see that happening."
To make changes, the JDCA is hoping its donors do the talking-"The most powerful way to do it is with dollars," Shaw said.
Ultimately, the JDCA is hoping to bring other organizations on board so all are working in a more harmonious manner toward one singular mission, one he's fairly optimistic about, despite any discord among the groups.
"The goal at the end of the day is a cure for diabetes," said Shaw.

I have years ago stopped donating to organizations such as JDRF for reasons such as listed in this article. I will do some more research on JDCA, thanks to this write up.
Your painting with a very broad brush. Specify organization names and numbers, including yours.
Brian Kelly, you found out 2 years ago what I have known since my first son was diagnosed in 1997 and then my second son in 2000...the research is going functionally nowhere. These huge, well-known organizations beg for money and say it's for a cure - but unless or until they are held accountable for the cash, there isn't going to be one. Please, JDCA, find some smaller research projects that are truly working toward a resolution to diabetes and when you do, promote THEM instead! Since my sons were diagnosed, nothing has changed for them. New and better cancer drugs and treatments come along regularly, but diabetes remains unchanged. Massive pharmaceutical companies develop "better" glucometers and more outrageously priced test strips - because those generate cash. Everyone needs to turn their heads away from those companies and the big 4 mentioned in the article (the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, American Diabetes Association, Diabetes Research Institute Foundation, and the Joslin Diabetes Foundation)...what true progress have they shown? None. Let's focus ourselves in smaller researchers really working toward a "cure". It's been 16 years and counting for my family...
We also stopped donating to JDRF. And we stopped helping with advocacy, because for some reason, when we met with our local legislator, the JDRF folks wanted me to say my daughter's life was pretty normal. What's normal about testing your blood every couple of hours, measuring food, wearing a pump and doing shots, getting up at night, and so on? We are positive people, but I don't know JDRF expects anything to happen with funding by saying everything is a-okay. The message they give is, dond't rock the boat.
This new organization is most welcome, thank you thank you thank you.
The reality is that most of the T1 non-for-profits are just like regular corporations but worse. They don't have to show any ROI because they simply say, we tried and while the test failed, it provided another avenue of research. The JDRF is the worst of the worse. They dilute their spend among so many different trials that the impact is nominal. Their switch in focus from a cure to maintenance makes me sick. They donate so much $$$$ to the AP (which is a joke because sub-q insulin delivery is the same method for 80 years). While I'm on the AP, Medtronic donates $250k to the JDRF and then they give it back?
All we have is more expensive treatments and while complications are down, T1 diagnosis are on the up. Brewer, Shapiro, and Kowalski should retire from the JDRF because they are failures.
All the AP will do is allow for a lack of donations because the ignorant will think T1 is cured!
I work as a sales rep in the diabetes industry and am also affected by diabetes myself. As part of business sales reps are regularly invited to attend ( and fund) diabetes updates and community events thru hospitals as well as through ADA and JDRF. Hospital events tend to range from $150-$250. But ADA and JDRF product display events- they are, at minimum $1000 and to up over $5000 for 'title sponsor'. Those organizations have gone too far.
We need to hold all the non-for-profits accountable for real world bedside results. Sub-q and anything related to it is quite simply NOT progress. Sell it, package it, and advertise it however you want, the method remains the same for >80 years. Is it not true that complications are still a result of sub-q delivery?
Stand up for real world bedside progress, not bologna.
If the JDRF wants to 'Walk for a cure' then make sure the spend is for a cure.
Has anyone had any insight into what it will cost for pumps and cgsm's under the "Unaffordable Carelessness Act" by our best friends in congress / senate / and wh? I am hearing that BCBS is doubling and tripling premiums in order to pay for the requirements of the UCA? If I were the government, I would unplug my office phones because once people receive their enrollment costs, the phones won't stop ringing. My company is telling me to expect a 45% increase in my premiums. That's really cool when all you get is a 2.5% raise. But, let's borrow from China to keep our bills paid. What a bunch of idiots.
I've had type 1 diabetes for 32 years. At diagnosis, blood glucose monitoring was extremely new and I either matched colors that resulted from a blood drop on a strip to a bottle or dropped a tab into a vial of urine and compared colors that way to determine what my blood sugar was. Fast acting insulin took 45 minutes to start working and long acting insulin lasted maybe 8 hours. We didn't know what carbohydrate counting was - we used the exchange diet to figure out what and how much to eat.
Today, I wear an insulin pump and Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS). With (relatively) minimal effort I'm able to keep my A1C around 6 and I can pretty much eat what I want. It only takes 5 seconds to get a blood glucose result that is specific enough to calculate a bolus. Life, by comparison, is pretty good.
Has anyone commenting above had diabetes long enough to understand what organizations like JDRF have DONE for our care? How the dollars they've allocated toward research have resulted in furthering our knowledge of this disease and creating better devices with which to live with it?
I understand some of the frustration I'm reading. I've been promised a cure many times. However, please consider where we'd be if NOT for these organizations. My money goes to JDRF not only because of what they've done for me in the past but for what they continue to do for me in the present. They don't just raise money for research, they also fund outreach, support, mentorships and educational opportunities for the families of and individuals with type 1.
It seems to me that, at the core, the JDCA is not funding anything different than JDRF (as an example). While I wish JDCA the best and will root for any organization to get the finish line - my donations will remain with the organizations that have helped me live better with type 1 diabetes and STILL have an unwavering commitment to find a cure.
A cure is a pipe dream. That said, there needs to be a revolutionary change in treatment. Stem cells, smart insulin are all treatments. There won't be a magic pill or one time implant of any sort. To me, that is the issue! If a stem cell was implanted every 6 mos or however often, what is acceptable? Remove Cure from all the media and focus on real changes in treatments
Those who donate to a cure are living in a fools paradise. You can't cure autoimmune diseases. They are too smart and we lack the necessary technologies and knowledge. The science community knows it, but they like cashing their checks.
What happened to Geron Corp?
As i admire and respect the work that JDRF has done over the years in promoting awareness and supporting diabetes I have become concerned with their choices of investing in some research and not in others. For such a long time the aim of research is on the cells and the pancreas . No research seems to be focus on the brain and what's happening to it that it no longer send the correct signal of production. We all know that a cure would be devastating for company such as Roche and bad for the economy. What happen to sublingual insulin...it was not financially viable and it was abandoned...

Caetano Veloso Celebrated As 2012 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year
Congratulations to Caetano Veloso, an eight-time Latin Grammy winner and two-time Grammy winner, who was celebrated as the 2012 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year last night in Las Vegas. Songs from Veloso's catalog were performed by an array of artists and friends of the honoree, including Alejandro Sanz, Juanes, Juan Luis Guerra, Nelly Furtado, and Enrique Bunbury. A portion of the proceeds from the gala will benefit Veloso's chosen charity, Fundación Viva Cazuza in Brazil, as well as The Latin Recording Academy's outreach and education programs. The celebration preceded the XIII Annual Latin Grammy Awards, which will be broadcast live on the Univision Network tonight at 8 PM ET.
About this Album
Caetano Veloso's Nonesuch CD catalog is now available from the Nonesuch Store; however, free album MP3 downloads, available with other discs in the Store, are not yet included with these CDs.
Caetano Veloso followed his 1999 Grammy-winning release Livro, a recording that brought the heralded Brazilian singer-songwriter to even greater acclaim in the US, with a soundtrack for the Carlos Diegues film Orfeu. Supervised and produced by Veloso with additional production assistance from Arto Lindsay and Jaques Morelenbaum, Orfeu is an eclectic compilation which reflects various trends in Brazilian popular music while paying tribute to the great masters of the past. The Chicago Sun-Times says the soundtrack "is jam-packed with stylistic variety, ranging from breezy bossa novas to sweeping orchestral extracts."
Veloso supervised the re-recording of songs from the original screenplay, whose soundtrack introduced bossa nova to the world outside Brazil. And, since the music most often heard in the favelas today is rap, the Orfeu soundtrack includes some hard-hitting indigenous hip-hop, alongside samba and the new ballad "Sou Você (I Am You)," composed by Veloso. Other songs are written by Jobim, Sargento, and de Moraes, co-author of the classic "Girl from Ipanema."
Orfeu is a retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, originally captured on screen in the 1959 film Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus) by French director Marcel Camus. Although both films are based on the Brazilian poet and playwright Vinícius de Moraes' play Orfeu da Conceição, Orfeu's director Carlos Diegues (Bye Bye Brazil) is emphatic about the fact that his Orpheus is not a remake of the French film. Diegues's Orfeu, set in the favelas of Rio, realistically depicts the paradox that "on one hand the favela is a social embarrassment to the country, the result of a regime of exclusion that brings forth misery and injustice. On the other hand it is also a cultural treasure, a gold mine of human relations that is always alive and that needs to be discovered and stimulated," says Diegues.
The main plot in Orfeu, Diegues says, "is still a reflection of human passion, its boundless obsession, its vertiginous nature, and how it permeates everything around it. This human desire for love, above and beyond life and death, which has an impact that can only be compared to the impact felt in the original Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare."
