As the storm moved east, New England state highway departments were treating roads and getting ready to mobilize with snowfall forecasts of a foot or more.
''People are picking up salt and a lot of shovels today,'' said Andy Greenwood, an assistant manager at Aubuchon Hardware in Keene, N.H.
As usual, winter-sports enthusiasts welcomed the snow. At Smiling Hill Farm in Maine, Warren Knight was hoping for enough snow to allow the opening of trails.
''We watch the weather more carefully for cross-country skiing than we do for farming. And we're pretty diligent about farming. We're glued to the weather radio,'' said Knight, who described the weather at the 500-acre farm in Westbrook as being akin to the prizes in ''Cracker Jacks — we don't know what we're going to get.''
Behind the storm, Mississippi's governor declared states of emergency in eight counties with more than 25 people reported injured and 70 homes left damaged.
Cindy Williams stood near a home in McNeill, Miss., where its front had collapsed into a pile of wood and brick, a balcony and the porch ripped apart. Large oak trees were uprooted and winds sheared off treetops in a nearby grove. But she focused instead on the fact that all her family members had escaped harm.
''We are so thankful,'' she said. ''God took care of us.''

well, thanks to the recent arctic blast we're getting, it looks like we are going to get in some ice fishing here in central NJ. we didn't get out last year at all. the ice was just about safe....then warm rain,and then warm weather. so much for ice fishing last year. so, we got the boat out and went for Pike.
Ice looks good for this weekend, and it's supposed to stay cold for the next week or so. I've got two guys that have never had the joy to go out on the ice. We have more free time on our hands this year, because we're not working, and it's a good chance to get there "feet wet".
I've been ice fishing since I was a kid, and enjoy exposing people that have never tried it, to get the chance to do so. It takes a different breed of person to go out and brave the cold, and stand on a frozen lake,or pond, and fish.
Be safe and stay warm
Good Luck to yall. post us up some pics and definitely stay dry.
glad to hear that you will get out on some hard water. as always stay dry and warm and good luck.
tell us how you do and how they feel about the hard stuff, the ice fishing that is.......hehehehehehehe
Of course, as luck would have it, I got sick this weekend, and was in bed all weekend...Damn!! We did get out on Monday, I was feeling good enough to get out on the ice, you guys know how that goes. we could be on our death bed, and still get out fishing.
It's was worth the wait. what a day. just got the last tip-up in, and I pulled out a 3.5 lbs. large mouth. We ended the day with 3 bass, a 4 lb, the 3.5, and a 2.5lb. as well as 9 Pickrel(smallest 12 ins, biggest 23ins (2)) and about dozen flags, drops or lost.
great day, well worth the 2 year wait to get back on the ice. My buddy did get out with us. He didn't think we really caught fish! He thought we just hung out on the ice with the rest of the crazies.
Stay warm...will post pics as soon as I'm felling better.

A former UW football player will spend one year behind bars.
This past summer Booker Stanley was convicted of beating, choking and sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend last December.
A judge sentenced Stanley to 1 year in county jail and 7 years of probation on Monday.
Conditions of his probation include registering as a sex offender, entering a domestic violence treatment program and seeking help for his alcohol abuse.
Stanley had been drinking the night of the assault.
Stanley says, "I realize that in both incidents, alcohol was involved, and it has affected my career in Madison. I think this situation is a perfect example of how alcohol can destroy a person's life."
Stanley will be given work-release while in jail to attend his treatment programs and possibly finish college.
The judge chose not to send Stanley to state prison, noting that he has no prior criminal record and prison may not be where he gets the best help for his alcohol addiction.


text: Earlier this month, the Georgia Supreme Court [official website] upheld [JURIST report] the state's 2006 Photo ID Act that requires voters to present one of six government-issued photo identifications in order to vote. The court ruled that the law "does not deprive any Georgia voter from casting a ballot in any election," and that presenting valid identification does not represent an unconstitutional impediment to voting. In contrast, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] struck down [JURIST report] a portion of an Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration in October. The court held that the law was inconsistent with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) [materials], which was passed with the intent of increasing voter registration and removing barriers to registration imposed by the states. The NVRA requires voters to attest to the validity of the information on their registration forms, including their citizenship, but does not require them to provide additional proof of citizenship. The law exceeded the federal statute, requiring applicants to show proof before registering to vote.

As part of its 2012 Olympic preview, the August issue of Outside charts the careers of several of the biggest stars heading to London this month — predicting their likely medal haul at the upcoming Summer Games.
The well-regarded mag's gold medal forecast for Baltimore's favorite amphibian, Michael Phelps, the guy who brought a record eight gold medals home following the Beijing Games? Zero. Zip. Nada. Okay, the magazine says Phelps may glom onto some gold as a member of one of the United States' dominant relay teams, but it's adamant: "No solo gold." The short piece later refers to the "outgoing Michael Phelps and his heir apparent, Ryan Lochte…" Wait there just a second, mister.
Now, somewhat familiar with magazine deadlines, it's only fair to note that the August issue, which I received last week, went to press before Phelps' stunning performance at the recent Olympic trials where he bested Lochte, long his top American-rival, in the three of four head-to-head matchups. Outside notes that Lochte — who has been garnering a lot of pre-Olympic media and commercial attention (Gillette television ads, etc.) — beat Phelps for the first time at the 2011 World Championships.
I'm just saying, early publication deadlines or not, it seems awful premature to throw Phelps — actually slightly younger than Lochte — under the bus. Phelps has established a track record of rising to the occasion every four years since first surprising swimming observers as a 15-year-old and making the 2000 Sydney Olympic team.
Obviously, we at Baltimore magazine have a different take than Outside and you can read contributor Mike Unger's story on Phelps in our July issue.
Other Outside predictions? Three golds for Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt and more beach volleyball gold for two-time gold medalist Misty May-Treanor (Who says bikinis aren't legit athletic gear?) Also, they say, keep an eye on California teenager Missy Franklin, who qualified in four individual swimming events. For what it's worth, Outside did nail one prediction — that U.S. swimmer and seven-time medalist Amanda Beard would not medal at the London Games, scheduled to start in 18 days. Beard failed to qualify for the U.S. squad.

Healthcare countdown: Who wins, loses—pays?
The Salt Lake Tribune / Associated Press, June 28, 2012
Thursday's expected ruling almost certainly will not be the last word on the nation's tangled efforts to address health care woes. The problems of high medical costs, widespread waste and tens of millions of people without insurance will require Congress and the president to keep looking for answers, whether or not President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act passes the test of constitutionality. The clear winners if the law is upheld and allowed to take full effect would be uninsured people in the United States, estimated at more than 50 million. A look at potential outcomes.

Has anybody read this book? I read it almost 2years a go but just heard recently that it is going to be a movie. The violence in it was hard to read but I really liked the book. To me it was also really easy to understand the situation and feel sympathy with the people in it since some of the main characters were from Afghanistan(my birth country) and Iran( the country I grew up in). What did you think about it?

Electrifying Power Steering
All Forester models gain electric power steering, which delivers agile response and better steering feel. The switch to this electric unit versus the previous hydraulic mechanism equates to a fuel efficiency boost of approximately 2 percent.
Cabin Features – Comfort and Convenience with a Modern Feel
Multi-Function Display
The standard version in the 2.5i model relays typical key data such as outside temperature, time, a selection of fuel economy displays, and driving range.
In all other 2014 Forester models, the 4.3-inch display also shows the view from the standard rear-vision camera, audio and Bluetooth®1 information, vehicle self-check and maintenance reminder, and, where applicable, X-MODE and Hill Descent Control operation.
Forward Thinking for Safer Driving
Now available on Forester, the Subaru advanced EyeSight2 system acts like a second set of eyes to detect obstacles in front of the vehicle. This technology includes stereo cameras mounted on either side of the interior rearview mirror that continuously scan the road ahead for potential hazards. If they spot something, the system issues an alert. If the driver doesn't respond and it becomes obvious that unless something happens the vehicle will hit an object, EyeSight will order the car to brake.
Read more about EyeSight in Fall 2012 Drive.
Aha™3 Infotainment
Subaru has teamed up with Aha, owned by stereo maker HARMAN, to bring Web service providers into the automobile. Aha serves as an in-dash app used in conjunction with a supported smartphone.
Forester models equipped with Aha will give the driver the ability to listen to thousands of Web radio stations and apps such as Slacker® and MOG alongside the regular AM/FM and satellite radio rotation. Aha also delivers real-time traffic reports and even suggests restaurants, when requested.

Famed mountaineers Eric Simonson and Dee Molenaar will be the featured speakers at a fundraiser the Tacoma Mountaineers are holding to support its plans to build climbing walls at its new program center.
The Mountaineers are in the midst of fundraising for indoor and outdoor climbing walls, said chapter President Geoff Lawrence. The April 11 program is a kickoff for the final phase of fundraising.
"The initial fundraising was seeded with some funds remaining from Program Center fundraising and from climbing wall-specific donations, and we have raised some additional funds after the opening of the Tacoma Program Center," Lawrence said.
The group has raised more than $60,000 of its $135,000 goal to fund both walls.
The design of the recently ordered indoor climbing wall will be unveiled at the event. Installation of the wall is expected to be complete by the end of June.
The indoor wall is coming from Entre Prises, which supplied the climbing walls at the Mountaineers Seattle Program Center and the spire at the REI flagship store in Seattle.
"We hope that we will have the necessary funds raised for the outdoor climbing wall so that it will be installed and ready for use in the spring of 2014," Lawrence said.
The evening will start with entertainment by Tacoma Mountaineer and magician Jeff Evans of Amazement Productions. A three-course dinner will be provided by Tacoma Mountaineer and chef Joy Parobek.
The event will conclude with the mountaineering program.
A Tacoma Mountaineer, author and co-owner of International Mountain Guides, Simonson is internationally recognized as one of the world's premiere mountaineering expedition leaders. He specializes in climbs of Mount Everest and the other classic 8,000-meter peaks in the Himalayas.
Molenaar has been a guide on Mount Rainier and has been on major expeditions to peaks such as K2. He also is the author of "The Challenge of Rainier," considered the definitive work on the climbing history of Mount Rainier.
The Tacoma Mountaineers Climbing Wall Dinner is set for 6:30 p.m. on April 11 at The Program Center, 2302 N. 30th St., Tacoma.
Tickets for the event are $40 each and are available (with a service fee) at brownpapertickets.com/event/348277.

County fills ESD seats; burn ban onFebruary 26, 2013, 10:00 pm by Lyn Odom Commissioners Monday accepted resignations and appointed members to the Llano County Emergency Services Dispatch Board, tabled the burn ban and heard from the Texas Housing Authority. With the high winds and drought conditions continuing Llano County
commissioners tabled taking any action on the current burn ban, which currently
isnt set to expire until April 28. However, just an hour or so after court,
emergency crews were dispatched to Houston
St. in Kingsland where someone had touched off a
large brush pile. It was quickly contained, but a water truck was called in to
put the fire completely out. Violating the countywide no-open fires ban is a Class C misdemeanor with a $500 maximum fine. For the full story, see Wednesday's Llano County Journal or Friday's Highlander. |

An Amity Regional High School student alleged passed out after consuming "pot crackers" in the school cafeteria last week and got himself arrested by Woodbridge cops.
But a closer look at the story suggests the pot wasn't in the crackers - it was in the peanut butter that was spread on the crackers.
Interesting concept, marijuana peanut butter. Leads to all kinds of possibilities: pot onion dip; weed guacamole; marijuana marscapone - the mind boggles.
The culinary entrepreneur who sold the dude the pot peanut butter also got himself busted.

1991 GMC Syclone Pickup Truck
Video Coming October 31They rumbled through Korea and Vietnam, battling the Cold War in the 1950s on behalf of the United States. Developed by Detroit Arsenal, the M-47 Patton Tank combined the turret from the problematic T-42 with the hull of the M-46. They were frequently deployed by NATO to global hotspots and even used as target practice in the 1970s once they had outlived their usefulness on the battlefield.
Another spot where one was put into action was in Southern California, at a place called the Big Dog Garage.
The heart of an M-47 tank, the AV-1790-5B engine, now beats out 800 horsepower, a number equal to five 350 Chevys, inside Jay Leno's legendary "tank car."
It started in 2003 when Randy Grubb showed up at Jay's garage with a show car he built with a friend named Mike Leeds. It was far from road legal and needed major work, but the one thing it did have going for it was its massive 2100-pound tank engine. Of course, Jay had to have it.
Enter Big Dog Garage guru Bernard Juchli. Since Jay didn't have a proper hot rod in his collection, Bernard rolled up his sleeves and went to work modifying the car into the futuristic road warrior it is today.
The first thing that needed to be done was replacing the car's Greyhound bus transmission. Working with engineers from Allison Transmissions, the Allison HD4060 6-speed transmission was selected and geared so the engine would rev at 800 to 900 rpms at around 80 mph. A new breaking system was installed to counteract the massive torque (not to mention a series of trusses to prevent the car from twisting apart), a new starter motor was added, and an entirely new electrical system created just to name a few highlights from the car's original transformation. The final touch was the addition of a Ki-Gas system used by many supercharged cars.
But the story doesn't end there. Recently, Jay brought in the legendary Gale Banks, known as the go-to guy if you want to turbocharge a vehicle, to soup up the tank car even more by adding twin turbos to the car's engine.
About the only problem that couldn't be solved was the cramped legroom, but who expects comfort when you're driving a tank?

Talk given Sunday, April 2, 2000 at the opening of the new zendo It's very nice to be here, and I see some old friends. I came here to open the eyes of the Buddha and dedicate your new zendo. It's a
wonderful occasion. I remember when I used to come to Humboldt County in the 1960's, and there were people scattered around who were practicing, but no one
could ever get together. People were practicing in their trailers or in their little houses in the woods, but it was a community of anarchists - everyone
independent. The thought of doing things together in a sustained way was anathema to most people, and so my impression was that for Humboldt county
northerners, it would take some extraordinary person to actually be a focal point for the practice, for people to come together. Maylie is the first person
I know of who has been able to be that focal point and organize a practice in which people are willing to be part of a sangha. The non-joiners are actually
joining together to do something, organizing a practice and keeping it going together. So to me, this is a minor miracle, and I really want to support it as
much as possible. I think that
there have been many people interested in Buddha, many people interested in dharma, but not so many people interested in sangha. But sangha is the support
for making it all happen. It's more than just a social life. It's our combined effort to maintain the practice, to support each other. Mutual
support may be the most important thing - I don't want to say "the most important thing" because whatever we talk about is the most important thing. So if I
say sangha is the most important thing, and I think especially for a community where the people don't live close together, it is easy for people to become
isolated. It's only the members together who can support a practice that is ongoing. So it is a very precious thing to actually have a practice that
is supported by the members and that is ongoing. |

Recent Survey: Alabama has Ugliest Residents, 2nd Dumbest StateA recent survey by Business Insider came out asking Americans to rank the states in different categories from best to worst.
"I think we have the greatest accents in all the world, especially in America," said Williams. "We are not the dumbest.. We have some very smart people here and we also have good food. I mean what's wrong with fried chicken?! We have Gulf Shores and great places to go and visit. So, Alabama isn't that bad, I don't think they got the right to judge us especially if they haven't came and visited us," said Ankum. |

Hello all,

This is a discussion on Ipad not charging within the iPad General Discussions forums, part of the Apple iPad Discussions category; Hello all, When I try to charge my iPad it says not charging. Does any know a fix to this? Thanks...
Hello all,
When I try to charge my iPad it says not charging. Does any know a fix to this?
Are you charging it through the computer? If so it could be your usb, if yours isn't strong enough it will say that. It's still charging however but at a very slow rate. Try plugging it in through a wall outlet.
Thank you for your response. I am currently charging it from a wall outlet and getting that message.
Hm... Perhaps a faulty port connector. I've heard of some people having to deal with those. You can try a new cord first since that would be cheaper however if that doesn't work it probably is something internal. Did you try rebooting it?
By chance are you using the cord that came w. an Ipod? They look the same but an Ipod cord doesn't work properly w/an Ipad.
Why? I have a cable from an iPod 2004 and it works fine with an iPad, syncing or charging, What doesn't work properly?Originally Posted by ajricaud
Hello Bsamimi - are you using the charger that came w/ the iPad? The cord that connects the wall charger w/ the dock on the iPad (or iPod for that matter) makes no difference.
However, the iPad charger puts out 10W of power (vs. 5W for the iPod wall charger); also if you are using the iPad charger and still do not receive a charging signal, plug it into another electrical wall outlet just as a test.
Let us know if any of these suggestions help or provide further information - good luck -
Thank you all for your help/response I changed the cord and it charged. Everyone here is SO helpful thanks again

Roundtable is a form of commissioner service and supplemental training for volunteers. The objective of roundtables is to provide these leaders with program ideas; update information on policy, events, and training opportunities; and offer an opportunity to share experiences and enjoy fun and fellowship with other Scouting leaders. Roundtables inspire, motivate, and enable adults to provide a stronger program for their Scouts.
There are typically separate sessions for Boy Scout, Cub Scouts and Venturing leaders. The Boy Scout and Venturing Roundtable session explores a particular activity or area of interest, while the Cub Scout Roundtable provides information about the upcoming month's planned program theme. In both sessions leaders are encouraged to share their questions, their successes and their failures (usually the latter is the most instructive!). Helping you, the Scouting leader, is the sole purpose of Roundtable.
Who should attend? Everybody! Roundtable is designed for all leaders – Scoutmasters, Cubmasters, Webelos Leaders, Committee Members, Assistant Scoutmasters, Den Leaders; every scouting position has a place at Roundtable. In the Cub Scout session there are separate break-out programs for Wolf and Bear Leaders, Webelos Leaders, Cubmasters, and Pack Administration. Whether you've been in Scouting for 40 years, or just signed up last week, Roundtable has a lot to offer you.
Because Roundtable is by, for, and about YOU! Every job is made easier by sharing the load, and Roundtable takes on the job of creating and presenting your program. Sure, you can make your own program from scratch, but you certainly don't have to! Roundtable is loaded with ideas and demonstrations of all kinds. Got a particular problem you just can't work out? Come to Roundtable and ask the group – draw on the years of Scouting experience made available just for you. Roundtable is open to all adults involved with the Boy Scout program. Registered leaders are especially encouraged to attend.
• Discuss topics of interest, both formally and informally with other leaders
• Learn about upcoming District and Council events and programs
• Meet and exchanges ideas with other leaders
• Info on advancement and training programs
• Fellowship with other Leaders
• Learn more about BSA
• Updates on Policy/Procedure changes
• A place to have your questions answered
• Have fun and make some great friends

What are your opinions on a Xcel XFlex X-Zip 3/2MM Wetsuit for $150 and a ONeill Heat 3Q Zip 4/3MM Wetsuit - FSW for $180?

What are your opinions on a Xcel XFlex X-Zip 3/2MM Wetsuit for $150 and a ONeill Heat 3Q Zip 4/3MM Wetsuit - FSW for $180?
Posted on the wetsuit thread, nobody replied.
go to a shop and try them on. xcel x-zip is the better suit. but if the Oneil fits better then thats no longer true. fit is the sole factor in wetsuits. which ever fits better is better.
PS all xcels fit the same. and all oneils fit the same. you dont have to find that particular suit to see how it fits.
I'm gonna get both of them, I just want to know some inputs on both. If the price is good, if they are good suits, etc..
first wetsuits? cause i think you should buy one and then get the other once you know what you like and dont like about the other. Example: i got my 4/3 billabong foil steamer as my first wetsuit. when i was ready for winter surf i got a 5/3 and from my 4/3 i knew that i should get it a little tighter, and i knew that back-zips suckkk. So i was able to learn from previous mistakes. If this is your first purchase of wetsuits your risking making 2 mistakes in one
No, I've had a 3/2 west and a 4/3 billabong. The 4/3 sucked, and I loved the west. I went to the store and tried them on already they both fit me snug in a Large.
xflex x-zip is solid. In fact, I would argue that xcel chest zip suits are the modern standard for wetsuit technology. I got my first one back in like 02 or 03 and NOBODY had one, now every company either makes a chest zip or lives in the shadow of xcel. I will never purchase a back zip suit again. Ever.
I have an xflex 4/3, and infiniti 3/2. Both are great suits, but you do notice the difference since the infiniti is a step above, and the sealed/taped seams also contribute. I've dabbled in other brands, but Xcel works the best for me, and the fit of one of their sizes I believe was made for me, hehe
Also, I never really found any proof, but I heard Xcel has the contract for making suits for US Navy Seals.
Lord knows there's enough data (even on this site) regarding wetsuits. Do your homework...what one guy wants in a wetsuit, another guy might not. How warm is it? Is it sexy enough? Does the medium tall O'Neill fit the same as the medium tall Rip Curl? Is it 100 percent stretch, or only 50 percent? Are the seams glued, taped, stitched?
The point is, reading about it and looking at pictures on the internet is not enough info. Go to your local shop and really get into the weeds.
On another note, I've usually recommended buying suits on the 'net because of the prices. But I also believe in hooking up your local shop....it's what keeps the brothers in business.

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Ziggy again."
I like his ponytail. It's just his signature thing. Without it, he may not be as memorable. Though if anyone is handy with photoshop, I'd love to see a picture of him with the pony chopped off - maybe it would look good, who knows!
This is an interesting connotation, I wonder if this is so. Perhaps if he cut his hair he would be more aerodynamic and be able to finish his rotation?? Interesting...

Happy Skating!
No! I predict by the time his hair length reaches his waistline, his 3A will be perfection. And if he allows his hair to grow even longer, he will master the quads when his hair reaches his (sexy) hips.
Wow, I didn't think my saying "Jason would look cute with a hair cut" would upset so many. Sorry. Maybe it's not the pony tail as much as it is the part in his hair that makes his hair look so flat. Anyway, I miss Adam Rippon's lovely curls.
First, if you've ever seen pics or vids of him at practice/outside the rink, you would see that his hair is only "flat" when he's in competition mode. It's actually very wavy otherwise.
Second, the part that your original post seemed to miss was that it's HIS CHOICE to cut/not cut.
Third, he is cute anyway. Gorgeous. He looks like a Prince from a fairytale, ready to come riding in and save us all.
I seriously don't see the big deal. When people decide to freak out at Denney for her appearance choices, I never see people defend her this much.
Well, that's her fans' fault, isn't it?
I happen to think Jason is a wonderful skater and he seems like an amazing young man who is intelligent, down-to-earth and thoughtful. And yet some people are fussing - some even can't watch him! - because of a totally insignificant detail like his hair.
Of course I'm going to get a little huffy, it's a completely ridiculous reason to not like someone. All the talk about Jason at the moment SHOULD be about his lovely performances in Turkey, the 3A attempt, the flutz calls, you know, his SKATING. Instead, someone decides that "waaah, I don't like his hair, he should change it".

This is a little side conversation, which is why it's in the trash can. No one is saying they dislike him. There is no need to get so worked up. He is a wonderful skater and I do think the 3A will come soon.
That's what came to my mind, too. He could test this by tucking his hair in a swim cap. Actually, I've thought about the swim cap idea for ladies who practice big jumps wearing long thick pony tails. If it works, think of the costuming opportunities. More rhinestones!
If, and when, he does cut his hair, it would make a nice donation to Locks of Love.
Isn't that a scam? I had heard it was.
At any rate, what he does with it if he cuts it is his business, the same as the decision to cut.
You were the one telling me there was no need to get worked up.
Why do I have to admit to being a super freaky #1 fan fangirl? I am certainly not psycho-obsessed with Jason as you appear to be with Brezina. At any rate the #1 Jason Fan tag is already taken - by Joshua Farris.
I am tired of this discussion and tired of people thinking that people should do things because THEY don't like it. If Jason wants to keep his hair long, let him, because he looks wonderful with it.
Jason should do whatever he wants with his hair.
I don't like the way he currently looks with his hair. When I first saw him, I thought he resembled Kimmie Meissner, and now that thought afflicts me whenever I see him skate.
Totally agree! Why should an athlete cater to fans' opinion about what looks good or bad on them?
Besides, no other male skater (that I know of) on the international competition level wears a pony tail. If anything it makes Jason Brown unique (not that he needs any proof other than his skating). It makes a statement about who he is. I would take that over "looking cute or handsome or sexy" any day. There are plenty of cute, handsome, sexy male skaters on this level with impeccably cut and styled and zero-risk hair, but there is only one Jason Brown.
Maybe Jason Brown fans can stop posting in this thread and post in the The Joshua and Jason Uber Thread! instead?

In 2006, Republican cyber security expert Stephen Spoonamore was interviewed by a major news outlet and he blasted Diebold voting machines and the stealing of elections. The story was killed but now you can see that explosive interview thanks to VelvetRevolution.
-By Douglas Stanglin, USA TODAY
December 14, 2011- Time magazine has named "The Protester" as its Person of the Year for 2011, citing a worldwide outburst of people-power from Tunisia to Moscow to Wall Street.
"A year after a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself ablaze, dissent has spread across the Middle East, to Europe and the U.S., reshaping global politics and redefining people power," the magazine says.
An excerpt:
It's remarkable how much the protest vanguards share. Everywhere they are disproportionately young, middle class and educated. Almost all the protests this year began as independent affairs, without much encouragement from or endorsement by existing political parties or opposition bigwigs. All over the world, the protesters of 2011 share a belief that their countries' political systems and economies have grown dysfunctional and corrupt — sham democracies rigged to favor the rich and powerful and prevent significant change.

Progressive filmmaker John Lawrence Ré has offered us his terrific uncensored 60 minute film, Dominoes – described as a rollercoaster ride through the the Vietnam War years, from Watts burning in 1965 as Black America tried to take back their lives, to the student rebellions around the world in 1968, to the last US helicopter fleeing Ho Chi Minh City in the spring of 1975. It's a trip -- uncannily similar to what is developing this year across the world with the Arab Spring and the Occupy Movement -- you won't want to miss as it plays out against a wall to wall soundtrack featuring Santana, Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, BB King, Marvin Gaye and many more.

Spring Breakage
April 7, 2010
For spring break we headed out on a 14-hour road trip to visit family. Generally we make this drive for Thanksgiving or Christmas but we planned a spring trip this time to avoid the bad weather that occasionally plagues us. I packed shorts and sandals. And the snow came tumbling down.
40 minutes into our drive we came across a huge mountain snowstorm and a multi-car pileup that had traffic stopped for miles. Keeping with our family goal of increased optimism, we talked about how lucky we were that the traffic jam was happening at the beginning of our trip while we were still fresh, rather than at the end when our eyes were drooping and we were anxious to get to our destination.
I gave out trip presents and we played games. Dan read a book about the history of fiber, string and rope. I'm not making that up. We even talked about what it would be like if the traffic never started again and we had to build houses in the mountain woods around us. We all agreed that the giant ice cream truck next to us would make a great neighbor, although Magoo was emphatic that he really would prefer to get moving and make it to Grandpa's house. After two hours the wreckage was cleared and we carried on, grateful that our car was merely stopped by the accident, not a part of it.
We kept our spirits up but the weather was sketchy all the way from Seattle to Utah. We hit a few storms, rain, hail, snow and sleet. We even ran into some dense fog in Idaho. Seriously? Fog in Idaho? What? Did it rise up and roll in off a potato field? I thought you had to be near water to have fog that dense. Then again, Ireland has fog AND potatoes so... I'm just sayin'.
We did eventually arrive at Grandma and Grandpa's house at nearly 5:00am after over 18 hours on the road. It was the longest trip in history with a 4-year-old, a 7-year-old and a baby in tow, a baby who was so happy about the whole thing that she refused to eat. Whenever we would stop to nurse, she'd flail her arms, crane her neck around and make joyful noises, so excited to be free of the car seat straps.
At one point, we drove for 3 hours at speeds of 30 mph or less in snow falling so thickly around us that we had to follow a semi truck to stay on the road, hoping the semi truck stayed on the road.
What really amazed me was how well everyone dealt with it. We were all tired and the adults were pretty stressed but we kept focusing on the positive, like little Pollyanna clones playing the glad game for 18+ hours.
We're parked for two hours. Well isn't it lucky that Mom packed so many great snacks?
We are stopping at every rest stop on the interstate. Well, aren't we glad that the last two had such pleasant air fresheners?
The baby's stopped eating and I fear my mammaries might actually explode. Isn't it great that we have a breast pump we can run from the power of the cigarette lighter to avoid said rupture?
From 11pm to 3am our car drove at school-zone speeds while we watched the arrival time on the GPS get later and later and later. Don't you think it's amazing that a tank of gas lasts for so long when you're driving your car slower than a fat man riding a BMX?
You might not think that positive thinking can make much of a difference but I've got to tell you that these little one-liners got us through what was probably the worst driving trip we've ever taken. Not only did we make it through, but we were in a good mood when we arrived, tired, happy and ready for the vacation.
When I pointed out to Laylee that Wanda had been so good during the drive even though she was too little to understand where we were going, she said, "Maybe Wanda's just being optimistic too. Maybe in her head she's thinking, 'We're probably just going to Baby Disneyland!'"
It snowed for most of the trip and I packed no winter clothes. Isn't it lucky that Grandma keeps such a huge stash of mittens, hats and sleds on hand? When you end up with a white spring break, you might as well go sledding.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We were extremely pleased with our Save-the-Date cards. We ordered this one in the pre-set green shade and loved it. It comes out as a very clean, bright green against the textured white. But not a neon green. Very classic - we've had many compliments!"
"I really love the simplicity and colors of this card because it captures the theme of our wedding as well as the colors. I also appreciate this item can include matching sets making my weddin planning that much easier. I am looking forward to sharing future wedding invitations with friends and family. Thank you for excellent quality and customer service."
"The save-the-dates came exactly the way we wanted them to. The color was perfectly matched to what was shown on the website. The card is durable, but lightweight. The design was perfect for what my fiance and I wanted. The details on the card are amazing! The website photograph does not give the card justice for its beauty and intricate details."
"We ordered it with the blue background, and it looked amazing. The birch trees and leaves looked great, especially for a winter wedding. We're having a spring wedding and went with a different choice in the end, but I may come back to this card for my invitations because it's fun, inviting, and beautiful. We really liked the back of the card, as well. We ordered the sample with the signature matte paper, and it worked very well with the design. High quality, think, and "felt nice.""
"We ordered a sample of this card in orange, with the pearl white shimmer finish. They were absolutely beautiful. I especially love the back of the card. We wound up going with the sans serif font in our final order. Even though it's a spring wedding, we're keeping the orange color - though I wish I'd ordered a sample of the green, since I'd imagine that would also be fantastic and more "spring like". My advice: order samples of more than one color if you're concerned about the final shade you wind up with, since it's impossible for a computer to look exactly like the finished product. The orange, at least, looks fantastic. We also tried multiple paper finishes with our different samples, and this was by far our favorite. The paper is heavy, and the shimmer is subtle (it has a slight sparkle in direct light). It gives it a high quality feel, and looks great on the back of the card."

Reports From National Arthritis MeetingDr. Shiel
Gives Perspectives Of Interest On Gout From GOUT Gout is condition that results from crystals of uric acid depositing in tissues of the body. Gout is characterized by an overload of uric acid in the body and recurring attacks of joint inflammation (arthritis ). Chronic gout can lead to deposits of hard lumps of uric acid in and around the joints, decreased kidney function, and kidney stones. Gout has the unique distinction of being one of the most frequently recorded medical illnesses throughout history. It is often related to an inherited abnormality in the body's ability to process uric acid. Uric acid is a breakdown product of purines, which are part of many foods we eat. An abnormality in handling uric acid can cause attacks of painful arthritis (gout attack), kidney stones, and blockage of the kidney tubules with uric acid crystals, leading to kidney failure. On the other hand, some patients may only develop elevated blood uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) without having arthritis or kidney problems. The term "gout" is commonly used to refer to the painful arthritis attacks. Gouty arthritis is usually an extremely painful attack with a rapid onset of joint inflammation. The joint inflammation is precipitated (brought on) by deposits of uric acid crystals in the joint fluid (synovial fluid) and joint lining (synovial lining). Intense joint inflammation occurs as white blood cells engulf the uric acid crystals and release chemicals of inflammation , thereby causing pain, heat, and redness of the joint tissues. From Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, researchers reported important dietary information for patients with gout. Here are important highlights: Meat or seafood consumption increases the risk of gout attacks, while dairy consumption seemed to reduce the risk! Protein intake or purine-rich vegetable consumption was not associated with an increased risk of gout. Total alcohol intake was strongly associated with an increased risk of gout (beer and liquor were particularly strong factors). The researchers confirmed studies presented at last year's meeting. They also found elevated blood uric acid levels associated with meat and seafood consumption, but lowered uric acid levels with dairy consumption. Dr. Shiel's Perspective: Well, alcohol is old business here. It causes gout by impeding (slowing down) the excretion of uric acid from the kidneys as well as by causing dehydration, which precipitates the crystals in the joints. Animal protein might be something to minimize for gout patients. It looks like it is time for more milk. Researchers from Boston found that fruits or vegetables did not have an affect on gout risk. Dr. Shiel's Perspective: An apple a day and bring on the beans! Several research centers reported on a new drug for treating the elevated levels of uric acid that lead to gout. This drug, febuxostat, produced by TAP pharmaceuticals, can be used in persons who are allergic to allopurinol. Dr. Shiel's Perspective: This is exciting news for the gout field. Rash allergic reactions to allopurinol do occur and this drug will provide a viable option in this setting. This is also important news for patients with kidney disease who have elevated blood levels of uric acid or gout because the drug is metabolized by the liver and not the kidneys like the traditional gout drug allopurinol. Febuxostat is not yet on the market in the U.S., but will likely be approved for use soon. Etoricoxib (Arcoxia) is a new Cox-2 antiinflammation medication that can be effective in treating the acute attacks of gout. Dr. Shiel's Perspective: We need more options in the treatment of arthritis attacks in gout patients. This drug is somewhat related to Vioxx, another Cox-2 inhibitor that was withdrawn from the market by Merck because of heart attack and stroke side effects. As a result, Arcoxia will likely be required to undergo significant further study before being released in the U.S. (It is already being used outside of the U.S.) For more information, please visit the Gout Index.

This press release was published on ATLA's website to announce a collaboration with AJL and CLA:
Chicago, IL, September 27, 2013 - The American Theological Library Association (ATLA) has received a 2013 National Leadership Grants for Libraries Planning Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS) in the amount of $46,500. The grant will support the project, "In Good Faith: Collection Care, Preservation, and Access in Small Theological and Religious Studies Libraries," in partnership with the Catholic Library Association (CLA) and the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL).
During the grant period, the American Theological Library Association, the Catholic Library Association, and the Association of Jewish Libraries will assess the collection care, preservation, and access practices of small theological and religious studies libraries and begin to identify valuable and vulnerable collections held in these institutions. The centerpiece of the project will be a survey designed for and deployed to institutions that may not have previously been included in such studies. Existing standards and practices that help libraries respond to their unique circumstances will be promoted to the targeted libraries and at the same time the partners will communicate the challenges and opportunities faced by these libraries to the larger library and research communities. Finally, the project will explore collaborative initiatives to respond to identified long-term collection care, preservation, and access needs.
"'In Good Faith' is an exciting project that will benefit the members of all three associations. Based on earlier research, we know that many small theological and religious studies libraries hold valuable unique special collections but lack the resources locally to preserve them and make them easily accessible to researchers. This project will begin to identify and inventory these collections and to seek solutions – before these materials are lost to scholars forever," said Brenda Bailey-Hainer, ATLA Executive Director.
National Leadership Grants for Libraries support projects that address challenges faced by the museum, library, and/or archive fields and that have the potential to advance practice in those fields. IMLS offers grants to help make it possible for communities and individuals to thrive.
