COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A new South Carolina license plate advocates equality for gay residents in a state that bans any type of domestic union.
The executive director of South Carolina Equality said Friday the plate provides a way for people to show they support equality for lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual residents. Christine Johnson says equality is needed in areas such as employment and housing. She hopes it lets people know they're not alone.
A Department of Motor Vehicles spokeswoman says the plates will be available for sale Monday for an additional $25.
State law allows nonprofit groups to create specialty plates.
Equality board member Dean Pierce paid the $4,000 deposit. Pierce says it's difficult to grow up gay in South Carolina, and he wants to help make it easier for younger generations.

This class will cover printing custom digital artwork from photo-sensitive plates on a 1933 Vandercook Number 4 Proofing Press. Old meets new! If you're interested in what letterpress can do in the modern age, and want to get your feet wet, this is the class for you.
Photopolymer plates are a novel way to transfer images or text from a computer file directly to a plate that can be mounted on a letterpress bed, inked up, and pressed into paper.
The press you'll be using is a Vandercook number 4, Circa 1933 (pictured at link below with boxcar base and a plate carrying an image by Drew Friedman):
Vandercook #4 with Boxcar base
• Simple digital-to-plate processes will be used to produce relief plates for use in letterpress.
• Each student will learn how to process their own plate from a negative film of artwork they provide, up to 10X15.
•Students will learn how to operate the Vandercook Number 4 Flatbed Letterpress and produce their own edition of prints.
•Each student will leave the class with up to 5 prints from their artwork or design, and also a plate which they produced themselves (a 93 dollar value!) which can be re-used to print many many more prints. If you learn how to make these plates on your own, you can save yourself a lot of money and open up new possibilities.
• After taking the course, students are welcomed and authorized to return to Haven Press and produce their own editions independently in exchange for press-rental fees.
This is a gateway course to the use of the facilities here, even if you've never done any kind of printing before. You will learn how to make prints, have fun, and enjoy the process.
Come learn what letterpress is capable of, and while you're at it, check out our other workshops for other neat printmaking and bookbinding related stuff!
Requirements: You will be required to submit your artwork via email at least 4 days prior to the workshop, or you will pay a rush fee of 45.00 in addition to the workshop fees. This submission is so that your artwork can be turned into a film prior to the workshop.
Artwork parameters will be provided once you sign up for the course- simply email [email protected] and he will tell you how to format your art and typography, and what you can expect from letterpress plates if you have questions about what to do (which you probably will).

Middleweights Dan Miller and Nate Marquardt went the distance last night, March 19, 2011, at UFC 128 "Shogun vs. Jones."
On paper, Nate looked to be the "greater" of the two fighters, but Miller, scrappy as ever, wouldn't go away quietly in front of his home state of New Jersey.
"The Great" won the fight decisively, utilizing a mixture of explosive takedowns and superior striking.
However, there's no need for Miller to hang his head and he surely deserves a ton of credit for taking the fight on such short notice.
With Marquardt's win, it's hard to say if he'll be fighting for a title anytime soon, but the former King of Pancrase certainly got back on the right track to take him there.
Here's how he got it done:
The two fighters decided to forgo the feeling out phase of the fight, instead electing to jump right into action. Miller worked to bring Marquardt to the ground and was eventually successful on his second attempt for a single leg.
From there, Nate scrambled and defended the AMA Fight Club product's trademark submission, the guillotine choke. No small feat, considering Miller's career accomplishments include a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. After getting handled in the early going, Marquardt stopped beating around the bush and picked his opponent up for a big slam to finish the round.
The second frame saw Marquardt taking his cornermen's advice (don't tell Dana White) and actually putting together a few combinations. The Aurora, Colorado, native would miss a flying knee and Miller quickly capitalized on the error, momentarily taking him down.
It didn't take long for both men to get back to their feet, though, and Marquardt would push to get on top again right after. Miller went back to his bread and butter, the guillotine, but Nate, savvy veteran that he is, once again avoided any real danger.
Prior to the final round, Mike Constantino of the AMA Fight Club told Miller how he badly needed to win it. Alas, it was not meant to be, as he would attempt a takedown midway through and Marquardt would sprawl and rain down several punches to definitively take the fight.
All three judges scored the bout 30-27 in favor of Nate Marquardt.
With the win, Marquardt upped his UFC record to 10-4 and 31-10-2 overall in mixed martial arts. A satisfying victory, no doubt, but what does it do for him as far as divisional relevance at this time? Stay tuned.
It's back to the drawing board for Miller, who had his two-fight win streak snapped. It helps that he's currently in the good graces of the powers that be, considering he took this fight on just over a week's notice. Any thoughts on who his next opponent may be?

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - A Mississippi lawyer says her client's house is uninhabitable after the government searched it but failed to find evidence that he made or possessed the deadly poison ricin. Kevin Curtis was once charged in the mailing of poisoned letters to President Barack Obama and others, but the charges were later dropped. His lawyers say he was framed. Another Mississippi man has been charged in the case. Curtis' lawyer Christi McCoy says she doesn't think Curtis was the primary target of the scheme, and that the person who sent the letters just wanted a scapegoat. McCoy sent a letter to federal prosecutors saying the government should provide him temporary housing and pay to repair his home and possessions. Her letter says that his lock was broken, picture frames broken and artwork was torn. She has also asked for the government to pay his legal bills.

Cat Health: Eyes
Custom Search
Many years ago, a kitten very dear to my heart experienced some scary kitten health problems. During that time, I learned a lot about cat symptoms of eye disease and have continued to have a great interest in the subject ever since.
While it is true that blind cats can learn to get around very well and live comfortable lives, I'm sure you would prefer to avoid blindness developing if at all possible. In many, many cases of blindness in cats that I have seen, it was possible to avoid loss of vision if only the cat had received veterinary attention earlier.
Other than just the fact of retaining vision, another reason to be alert to changes in your cat's eyes is because problems in the eyes can reflect cat illnesses elsewhere in the body. In other words, certain eye conditions in cats are a clue that a more general problem with your cat's health exists and needs to be addressed. For example, feline conjunctivitis may be a condition of the eyes only, but when accompanied by another disorder called anterior uveitis, it can indicate a more generalized illness such as feline leukemia or feline infectious peritonitis.
Assessing the Health of Your Cat's Eyes
It is not difficult to learn what good cat health, eyes included, looks like. Take a close look at the following image.
What do I see in the photo?
(1) Wide, open eyes that appear similar in size
(2) No obvious redness anywhere
(3) the colored part of the eye, the iris, which is green in this photo, is uniform in color, doesn't have any discoloration, any brown splotches, and is clear and easy to see
(4) the black center, the pupil, is the same size in both eyes and is not so large that it fills the entire eye and doesn't allow you to see the color. (It can be normal to have large dilated pupils, but only in very low light or when taking certain medications, or if extremely fearful).
(5) the outermost surface of the eye, the cornea, is clear - so clear, you're looking right through it like a freshly cleaned window, and you can see all the structures mentioned above without anything getting in the way. A healthy cornea is one you don't really notice - it's not cloudy, it doesn't have blood vessels running across it - it's truly just a very clear window you're looking through to see the iris and pupil.
(6) The third eyelids are not visible in the inner corners of the eyes. If they were, you would see a whitish membrane covering part of the eye that comes up from those inner lower corners toward the nose.
(7)You don't see any discharge, any fluid, coming from either eye.
Again, the cat eyes seen above are very healthy and normal.
If you said, he's squinting, the eyes are not big and round, you would be correct. Is it a problem? If he's just sleepy or just had a bright light pointed in his direction, then probably not. If the eyes remain that way more than a minute or so, then possibly yes.
If you said it is abnormal, you are correct. The third eyelid is protruding. That is the white membrane you see coming from the inner lower corner of the eye near the nose and extending over close to half of the eye.
Ok, I just threw that one in to see if you were paying attention. Yes, the eyes are perfectly normal. Very healthy. So take a look again at those eyes. Big, round, clear, equal in size, equally sized pupils (black centers), no redness or discharge, no third eyelid protruding, colorful irises, uniformly colored.....all normal and healthy.
Again, there are so many different feline diseases that affect the health of cat's eyes. Some are secondary to another problem elsewhere in the cat's body while others involve a problem just in your cat's eyes. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that anytime you think your cat's eyes aren't normal, go straight to your veterinarian. Time is of the essence when it comes to your cat's eyes.
Also, on this page further down, you will find questions I have received about eye conditions in cats. You will find a great deal of information there about various feline eye conditions.

From Danny O'Neill, Seattle Times Blog
Q: How early in the process did you zero in on linebacker Aaron Curry?
Ruskell: Our people kind of noticed him last year in the offseason. And our people kept coming back with good reports as we went through the season. So we started paying more attention to him in terms of watching him play and that kind of thing and everything came up solid. So we kind of had our eye on him for a long time.
Q: Was the trade of Julian Peterson influenced at all by the presence of Curry, a prospect you liked that played the same position?
Ruskell: Not really. We knew he was going to be a very high pick. We didn't know at that time where ours was going to be. We thought he was going to be a very high pick. So not really though it certainly factored into the fact that this was a guy we really liked.
Q: What does he bring to the team that you didn't have yesterday?
Ruskell: A physical presence on the field. This is a guy that's over 250 pounds, runs 4.5 and you see the speed. Some guys run 4.5 in their workout and you don't see it on the tape. Versatility in terms of the coverage ability. He's a good tackler and he's a good blitzer. He's the whole package for the linebacker position. That's why the coaches were so excited about him because of all the different things you're going to be able to do with the guy.
Gus Bradley coming from Tampa had a guy like that in Derrick Brooks. And I'm not comparing him to Derrick Brooks. Derrick Brooks is going in the Hall of Fame, but what made us select Derrick Brooks all those years ago was the fact that he could do everything.
So it's kind of eerie that those are the same traits that this guy has.
Q: Does this selection impact Leroy Hill's situation with the team?
Ruskell: Continue to negotiate with Leroy. We still want a long-term deal done.
I thought it would be interesting to share Ruskell's idea of who he is. I think it is interesting he compares him to Derrick Brooks. Not the comparison I would come up with, as I always thought of Brooks as an undersized coverage LB. However, I've only seen 10-15 plays out of his entire career, which did include 3 INTs returned for TD.
The Rams GM Billy Devaney also had this to say. Not quite as revealing, but certainly nice to hear. The Rams picked one of the two players I could have considered over Curry, and I'm not sure Stafford over Curry would be correct, but I did like Smith a lot.
"Curry was the first guy we put (tape) on and we were like, 'Wow! This guy is special," St. Louis Rams general manager Billy Devaney said after the combine.
"He is really good on tape. And then we started talking about the intangibles and, to a man, everybody said he's top of the line."

Mood of meditation at Buddhist Temple
John Curry, Stittsville/Richmond EMC: Except for the intermittent sounds of traffic passing by on Hazeldean Road filtering into the building and the ticking of a wall clock, silence reigned in Stittsville's Cambodian Buddhist Temple on Thursday evening, May 17 as Bhante Kovida led attendees through meditation exercises.
One involved moving the hands in a rotational cycle, while touching the body at certain points. These movements and touches enhance a person's awareness of the moment and helps eliminating random thoughts from the mind. In this way, these hand and arm movements are a roadway to a state of meditation.
This exercise was followed by a …

Prisoners look inward to discover personal freedom.
Emmanuel Samoglou: A few weeks back, while Stephen Harper was on the hustings selling a tough-on-crime agenda, Sister Elaine MacInnes was in a Brampton prison hugging convicted criminals.
"I hugged them all," the 87-year-old Catholic nun and Zen master says warmly, recalling her visit with about 50 inmates at the Ontario Correctional Institute, where she conducted a meditation class.
Sister Elaine — as she's widely known — is the founding director of Freeing the Human Spirit (freeingspirit.com), a registered charity that provides yoga and meditation programs to inmates in provincial and federal correctional institutions in Southern Ontario. A Zen master of the Sanbo Kyodan, based in Kamakura, Japan, she spent 32 years in the East, studying the ancient spiritual practices of meditation …

POLITICIANS have been united in their messages of condolence for the police officer who lost her life on Saturday morning after the patrol car in which she was travelling was struck by a stolen vehicle.
The First and Deputy First Minister extended their sympathy to the family of 27-year-old Philippa Reynolds, and wished her two colleagues, also injured in the collision, a speedy and full recovery.
In a joint statement, Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness said: "Officers in the PSNI put their lives at risk on a daily basis to serve and protect our community and we are all truly grateful for their dedicated service.
"Those who commit a crime such as vehicle theft must realise their actions can have serious consequences. We urge anyone with information to go to the police."
Theresa Villiers, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, said it was "a tragic waste of a young life in sad and reckless circumstances". "Constable Reynolds died as she went about her job keeping people safe in the community she served," she said. "I send my sincerest condolences to her bereaved family and colleagues."
Tributes also came from south of the border. Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said there was "a strong and deepening relationship between the Gardaí and the PSNI and I know the thoughts and prayers of gardaí across the country will be with the officer's family and her colleagues".
PC Reynolds had been "carrying out her duties serving the community in the middle of the night," said Justice Minister David Ford. "My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.
"This is not the first time we have seen death and injury resulting from car crime. I call on those engaged in this crime to reflect on the consequences of their actions and stop this senseless activity."
Vice-chairman of the Justice Committee and Sinn Fein MLA for Foyle Raymond McCartney also expressed his condolences to the family of the young policewoman.
The SDLP MP for Foyle, Mark Durkan, said he was "saddened" by news of the policewoman's death.
"My sympathies go out to her family and friends at this very difficult time, as they struggle to come to terms with this tragic news," he said.
"My thoughts are also with the wider police family who have lost both a friend and a colleague.
"The shock felt across the community will be matched with disgust that such criminal activity has led to this tragic death."
Chairman of the Policing Board Brian Rea said it was a "terrible blow" for the PSNI.
His views were echoed by other board members. DUP MLA Jonathan Craig described the death as "deeply distressing", while Ulster Unionist MLA Ross Hussey said the police deserved "our full support" as "they put themselves in harm's way to protect the whole community".
Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly said "death drivers" were a "scourge on our society and this incident is the latest example of the misery they inflict through their criminal behaviour".
The death showed "the fatal consequences of car crime", said Alliance MLA Stewart Dickson.

The debate over whether In-N-Out or Five Guys offers America's best chain burger prompted a lot of debate, all of it spirited. Commenter Staysharp made the case for Five Guys...
I go to school in the East, and having had both, I have to hand Five Guys the victory. In-n-Out has notoriously bad fries and good burgers: Five guys has a different burger that is legitimately delicious in a greasy, melt-in-your-mouth sort of way, and their fries are fantastic (though they give WAY too many).
...while FSDC was squarely in the In-N-Out camp.
As someone who is from California and now resides on the East Coast, I wish that In N Out was the one invading. Five guys IMO has better fries, but for burgers I'd probably rather have a double double - especially when you consider Five Gives is twice as expensive.

Top Interior Design trends in 2014 Focus on Comfort & Tech
Interior design trends renew almost as frequently as calendars, and this year's predictions from Niel Kelly's team have the top predictions. Remember that finding the best interior design professional in your area is important to bring these great ideas to life.
Trend #2. Kicking the Shower to the Curb: Showers are becoming more popular than tubs. "Homeowners are looking to embellish the 'shower experience' rather than the tub experience," says Neil Kelly Design Consultant Kathleen Donohue. An increasingly popular feature is the curb-less shower.
Trend #3. Stand Alone Tubs: If homeowners want a tub experience in 2014, it's likely they will select a free standing tub as a structural element, which takes up much less space in the room than the old tiled-in tub deck.
Trend #4. Floating Shelves: Cabinets can make or break a kitchen design, and Neil Kelly design consultant Fabian Genovesi likes to break up the cabinet layout. "I design kitchens that are not just long runs of cabinets but that are broken up into different sections," says Fabian. "Don't take up all the space with cabinets. Have floating shelves, open spaces, and room to hang wall art."
Trend #5. Cobalt Blue: While designers may disagree on what constitutes some trends in 2014, on one subject they all agree: Bright colors are most certainly "in." Neil Kelly Design Consultant Suzie Atkin says cobalt blue is a particularly hot color.
Trend #6. From Modern to Modest: The industrial modern décor of 2013 will morph into a more relaxed, more classic and modest look in 2014. While stone, metal, and wood will still be popular, expect a more relaxed feel and rounded designs with earth shades and raw metal finishes.

The amazing timber frame structure, the Cypress Creek Lodge will be fully open for all visitor services including the huge Crazy Raven Bar & Grill plus we now have additional new free paved parking areas only minutes from the Lifts (priority pay parking will also be available right beside the Cypress Creek Lodge).
Our Winch Cats have taken the time necessary to climb the steep slopes to groom out the huge mounds of snow from our automated "State of the Art" Snowmaking System on the 2010 Olympic course terrain - we are very excited to re-open these now legendary ski runs which were closed all of last season to make way for the Olympic Ski and Snowboard Cross and Parallel Giant Slalom courses where Canada proudly won Gold! Congratulations again to Alexandre Bilodeau and Maelle Ricker for winning the first ever Men's and Women's Gold medals in Canada at Cypress Mountain and to Ashleigh McIvor and Jasey Jay Anderson for following up with their inspirational Gold Medal wins on our Mountain!
Our Cross country Ski Trails will be open in the lower area and will be groomed but not track set. The Tube Park will be closed but we are working to prepare the Sliding Area for opening tomorrow and will make that announcement in the morning.
We are open this weekend from 9 AM to 4:00 PM and all Alpine and Nordic Area tickets will be 25% off regular rates (PM Rates start at 12:30 PM).

INDIANAPOLIS – Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre welcomes the New Year with a celebration of dining, dancing and delightful live entertainment! It's just the ticket to start 2014 off right.
Chef Odell Ward's dinner buffet, complete with hand-carved roast beef, is served from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., just before that evening's performance of Lend Me A Tenor. This Tony Award-winning Ken Ludwig comedy was called "uproarious" and "hysterical" by USA Today, and marks its 25th Anniversary in 2014.
Starring Beef & Boards favorites Eddie Curry, Jeff Stockberger and David Schmittou, Lend Me A Tenor is set in Cleveland in 1934 where the world-famous tenor Tito Morelli, Il Stupendo, is scheduled to perform as Otello. But he arrives late and, through a series of mishaps, is given a double dose of tranquilizers! His pulse is so weak that Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, and his assistant, Max, believe he's dead. Desperate for the show to go on, they try to salvage the evening by dressing Max in one of the Otello costumes to fool the audience. But Morelli comes to, dresses in a different costume and prepares to perform. Now there are two Otellos being chased by women in lingerie who each think they're with Il Stupendo!
Following the performance, the Blue Bus band takes the stage so patrons can dance the rest of 2013 away. Playing together for more than 15 years all over the Midwest, the group plays a variety of music from jazz standards to Motown, classic rock and R&B.
Then at midnight a balloon drop and champagne toast ring in 2014, followed by Chef Odell's delicious breakfast buffet!
All tickets to this special celebration are $77.50, and include party favors in addition to the dinner and breakfast buffets and live entertainment.
For reservations, call the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Box Office at 317.872.9664 anytime between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays.
For more information, visit beefandboards.com.
Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, Indiana's only year-round professional dinner theatre, has been serving up exceptional entertainment since 1973.

Flying now is a lot different than it was before Sept.11. Not only did the government and airlines introduce a rash of new policies right after the attacks, but subsequent attack attempts and economic downturns altered flying too.

text: Yesterday as the Michael Bradley news broke, I was reading the comment section of the Waking the Red's first Michael Bradley post. One user posed the question that they wondered if the Timbers would give up Will Johnson for Michael Bradley. Bradley is a fantastic player but my reaction to the comment was that Will Johnson is incredibly valuable to the Timbers because he is the engine that makes us tick and he is relatively inexpensive. I do not think that I would support a trade of Bradley for Johnson. I'm interested to hear the response that many of you may have to this idea though. Thoughts?

The Truth about website development hours.
I often get asked to do projects based on time it takes to complete. I dislike these projects greatly because the client comes to me trying right off the bat to trick me into getting a better deal. These clients assume that if I give them a fixed rate based on hours estimated, that I will jack up (or pad) the hours costing them more. Let us step back a second and forget the fact that if I was the devious web developer assumed in this scenario, I could still lie when I report my actual hours.
I want to inform people how honest web developers work and quote hours. It isn't a number we make up randomly and quote you with. We don't roll a 21 sided die a few times and say "here is your quote". True web designers and developers take the care into making an accurate assessment. How do we do this? Well there are many hours spent that are NOT quoted for, that we take researching.
The Magical Quoting Process
When someone asks me "Hey Roy, can you do this?" I say "Sure, but to be more accurate in your quote, let me do some research and get back to you". Now you may be mad at me for automatically saying "yes" or "sure" even if I am not 100% confident in building said website, however do you really expect any web developer to have experience doing EVERYTHING to the point that your precise requirements is something they have ALREADY done? Every website is different, and even if they were identical, we live in the technology vigrx user reports age, things change. "State of the Art" one day means "Old and useless" the next. It is no different in coding. Sorry for that tangent.
Anyway… So back to the quoting process. I do research to figure out how to get what you want made. If there is a design involved, I usually turn to my colleagues that do design, like Justin. and see based on the pages needed to be designed, how much he wants in on said project. I am a web developer, while I like making money, I am not a greedy businessman, so for 99.9% of the time, Justin's quote to me, is what you will get from me, I don't need to make extra money there. So now I have a good understanding of how long it will take me to build, and a quote for design… and voila! you have a web development quote. You have just received 2-5 hours (at minimum) of a highly skilled web developer's time.. for free. You Are Welcome.
Sure, why not.
In conclusion. Don't yell at me for my quotes. They are thought out. If you want to pay me for my time as I work, great.. but 9/10 times you will spend more money because I always underquote myself, and I go above and beyond (ask previous clients).
The truth is.. I'm not here to steal from you, so give me the benefit of the doubt as the expert, and let me do my job. If you want a cheaper quote, find someone who knows less, and will do a much worse job from sake of CARING and knowledge.

Prof. Johanna Fernandez' acclaimed film, "Justice on Trial: The case of Mumia Abu-Jamal," will be screened Thursday, Nov. 10, 6:30 p.m., at Twinspace, 2111 Mission St., Third Floor, San Francisco. "Mumia," she says, "is a world famous African-American journalist, a humanist and one of the most important revolutionary voices of our time."
October 11, 2011
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected the Philadelphia district attorney's attempt to reinstate the death penalty on Brother Mumia! In order to reinstate the death penalty at this point, the DA would have to call for a new trial on the question of the sentence, with a new jury having to decide on whether to reinstate the death sentence. Otherwise, the sentence of life in prison – without parole – remains. Now on to freeing Mumia!

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)- Authorities say a 13-year-old boy brought an unloaded gun to his Wilmington middle school in his backpack.
Wilmington police say students alerted teachers at P.S. duPont Middle School on Thursday morning that the teen showed schoolmates the gun as they walked to school. When staff searched the teen's backpack, police say they found the gun inside.

I was looking for a cologne that was unique, masculine, not too strong, and a hint of sweetness to it. In the end, The Dreamer turned out to be just what I wanted. When applied in the evening, it blends so well with your body to create a universally attractive smell. I have been using this cologne for several weeks and every time I go to a club I can't dance with a woman for more than five minutes before I get a compliment about my smell. This cologne really lives up to its name of being a dreamy, romantic cologne and anyone who desires such an amorous scent would love The Dreamer.

Hmm not sure if i got the right stuff
I think I may have bought the wrong stuff.
I wanted Dreamer by Versace but I got "The Dreamer"
Not sure I've never smelled the stuff before.

Anyways at first it smells like a cheap 10 year old perfume, but after awhile it smells kinda like Joop.
Reminds me of something a woman would wear.

The rabbits go under the cars in the winter time for the warmth and for the shade in the summer. Rabbits are known to chew wires under the car's engine. One of our BOD members has talked to someone who has had experience with this type of rabbit problem and offers these three solutions:
1. After you come home go out and lift the hood to cool the engine making the environment unfavorable for the rabbit.
2. Coyote urine sprayed on the tires will deter the rabbits from the car. Coyote urine can be purchased at local home improvement stores.
3. Place moth balls in a sock and hang in the engine compartment. Be sure you hang the sock in a place that does not interfere with the operation of the engine.
So please check under the hood and underneath your cars parked on the streets for rabbits. Damage can happen quickly and hopefully you will catch the rabbits before any damage occurs.

Good news! NOAA Fisheries just gave scalloped hammerhead sharks protection under the Endangered Species Act! Sharks worldwide are in danger because of "finning" for shark fin soup, and accidental bycatch. We're glad to have played a lead role in passage of the shark fin ban in California, a movement that's spreading to many other states – and even to China!

Study Documents Crude Oil's Toxic Impact on Tuna Hearts
Scientists from Stanford University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have discovered that crude oil interferes with tuna heart cells in ways that can lead to cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death.
The study, published February 14 in Science, looks at some of the impacts of the massive Deepwater Horizon crude oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.
The specific mechanism behind the cardiotoxic effects of crude oil were documented for the first time in work by the Stanford team at the Tuna Research and Conservation Center, a 10-year collaboration between Stanford and the Aquarium.
Because heart function in tunas is similar to that in humans, marine mammals and other vertebrates, the Stanford team is recommending further study to determine if human hearts are at risk when they're exposed to the same hydrocarbon compounds in polluted air.
The Aquarium, Stanford and NOAA funded the research project.

Cake Boss or Bust
You might be a die-hard pastry-head, but can you spot a Cake Boss cake when matched against other impressive confectionery feats? Test your knowledge of Buddy's edible masterpieces with this quiz.
Question 1 of 20
Tim Burton's animated film "Corpse Bride" was immortalized in red velvet and hazlenut filling with a four-tiered movie-themed cake complete with figures of the main characters, bats and dragonflies.
... This cake was created for a Halloween wedding by Pink Cake Box of Denville, NJ.
Question 2 of 20
NASA was "over the moon" with this 5-foot-tall space shuttle cake, complete with shuttle, boosters and external fuel tank. The cake actually lifted off its launch pad -- shooting flames of course -- for a spectacular display.
... Buddy created this cake for the celebration of the 30th anniversary of NASA's space shuttle program.
Question 3 of 20
Three stacked tubs overflowing with giant scoops of ice cream helped celebrate the 50th anniversary of Häagen-Dazs.
... Even though this cake didn't actually contain any ice cream, it sure looked convincing. The featured flavors were vanilla, strawberry and coffee -- Häagen-Dazs's three original flavors.
Question 4 of 20
This massive cake depicted the New York City skyline, complete with the city's most notable landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. But that's not all -- it actually launched its own fireworks display!
... A pyrotechnic masterpiece made of sponge cake, pound cake, buttercream, fondant and candy, this cake was featured on season 1 of Cake Boss and was one of the largest cakes Buddy had ever created at the time.
Question 5 of 20
It doesn't get any more colorful than this: a cake made to resemble a 64-color box of Crayola Crayons.
... This was made by Charm City Cakes of Baltimore to celebrate the 50th birthday of the 64-count crayon box.
Question 6 of 20
A completely edible, vintage hand-cranking Singer sewing machine, along with scissors, cloth and thread.
... This cake was created by Zhanna, a cake bakery in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Question 7 of 20
Talk about sentimental: This was an enormous snow globe cake containing a winter Central Park scene, complete with falling snow. There was even a hidden trapdoor for a special surprise.
... Buddy created this from vanilla sheetcake and fondant, with the figures made from modeling chocolate. What did the trap door contain? An engagement ring, of course!
Question 8 of 20
This 1,500-pound (680-kilogram), mechanical, Transformers-themed cake featuring Bumblebee atop the famous yellow Camaro he turns into was featured at GM's press day at the New York Auto Show.
... The Cake Boss team created this in honor of the new Camaro's featured role in the Transformers movies.
Question 9 of 20
They say everyone focuses on the bride on her wedding day, but what happens when the cake is the bride, too? This edible, nearly life-sized replica of the bride in her wedding dress was made from butterscotch and polymer clay. All of the details were included -- right down to the hairstyle!
... This cake was created by Absolutely Edible Cakes of Rowlett, Tex.
Question 10 of 20
Commissioned by Amtrak to celebrate National Train Day 2010, this cake featured model trains traveling around skyscrapers and other scenes of Americana.
... Buddy's team spared no details in making this monstrous cake -- from American flags to figures eating hot dogs.
Question 11 of 20
Have a heart! This cake featured the Wizard of Oz's Tin Man sitting atop a shining yellow brick road.
... This incredibly detailed tribute to a classic cinematic character was created by Mike's Amazing Cakes of Redmond, Wash.
Question 12 of 20
Thirty sheets of vanilla and chocolate cake, held together with chocolate fudge filling, were used to build a full-sized, playable hockey table cake.
... The Cake Boss crew made this cake in season 4 for a B'nai Mitzvah celebration.
Question 13 of 20
A nearly full-sized roulette wheel and table, complete with spinning wheel, roulette chips and the perfect color of green fondant that looked just like a felt table top. Place your bets on who made this one.
... The commissioners of this gambling-themed cake made Buddy a little nervous in season 1 of Cake Boss.
Question 14 of 20
One cake to rule them all? This cake depicted Gollum, from "The Lord of the Rings," atop a rocky crag clutching his precious ring.
... This fantasy cake was created by Crazy Cakes of Austin, Tex., for the 2010 "That Takes the Cake!" competition and cake show.
Question 15 of 20
To celebrate the 10th birthday of a prize-winning milk cow, this was a life-sized replica of a black and white dairy cow made of vanilla spongecake and buttercream icing. And since nothing goes better with a slice of cake than a glass of milk, the cow's udders actually squirted milk!
... This Cake Boss cake -- typical of Buddy's penchant for making cakes do something more than just look nice -- was featured in season 4.
Question 16 of 20
This groom's cake was designed to look like mounds of used tires, piles of rusty metal and wrecking equipment to honor the groom's scrapyard business.
... This wasn't a Cake Boss cake, but it was just as elaborate as one. It was created by the White Flower Cake Shoppe of Cleveland, Ohio.
Question 17 of 20
You want me to eat that?! Appropriately designed for a baby shower, this cake looked just like a package of diapers, baby wipes and baby powder.
... Debbie Does Cakes of San Francisco created this unusual cake from vanilla poundcake, chocolate buttercream and cereal treats.
Question 18 of 20
That's amore! This Leaning Tower of Pisa cake came complete with a scooter-riding newlywed couple.
... Made from poundcake, buttercream filling, modeling chocolate and fondant, Buddy's Leaning Tower cake actually leaned with the help of a PVC support structure on the inside.
Question 19 of 20
This was an amazingly detailed aquarium cake featuring coral and sea creatures of all kinds. Behind the cake stood a real aquarium with live fish, giving this cake a three-dimensional, realistic feel.
... Buddy created this amazing cake for the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, N.J., in season 2 of Cake Boss.
Question 20 of 20
Weighing in at a whopping 15,032 pounds (6,818 kilograms) and standing 17 feet (5.18 meters) tall, this seven-tier wedding cake looks traditional in every way, except for of course its size.
... This cake, created by the exceutive pastry chef at Connecticut's Mohegan Sun casino in 2004, is the world's largest wedding cake. It could feed up to 59,000 people.

Michael Moore's movie rocks! As does Mort Kondracke's wife.
by AdamGreen, Wed Jun 20, 2007 at 10:01:34 PM EDT
Tonight, I saw the DC premiere of Michael Moore's new movie, Sicko. At the event, I also saw and had a conversation with Fox's Mort Kondracke -- who confirmed himself to be a mindless hack.
First, the movie...Sicko was amazing. I don't often tell people to go see movies, but go see this movie -- and bring a couple of your nonpolitical or Independent friends too.
When I saw Al Gore's movie, I went in thinking "Yeah, I support the environment" and left passionately considering myself an environmentalist. When I saw Sicko, I went in thinking "Yeah, we need to improve health care in this country" and left thinking "Holy cow - we need a health care revolution."
See it. See it. See it. And bring your friends.
When I left the theater, I sought out Fox's Mort Kondracke, who I had heard was in attendance. I wanted to see if someone from the TV arm of the Republican Party would at least be human enough to show some sign of sympathy for the many victims in this movie. I found him.
Me: Hi, my name's Adam Green. So, what did you think?
Mort Kondracke: It was a very well constructed piece of propaganda.
He then went on and on, repeating corporate talking points - many of which Moore had debunked in the movie. Ignoring the factual evidence that health care companies actively deny life-saving medical help in order to pad their bottom line (and then give huge salaries to their executives and to doctors who have the best record of hurting patients), Kondracke kept pleading the cases of big companies.
He said Moore's examples of great health care in other countries were bogus, and asked me, "You live in this country, are you hurting?" I informed him that I have health insurance and thankfully have not suffered any grievous injury that would put me anywhere in a comparable position to the people in the movie we had just watched. He didn't really have an answer for that.
I asked him if he has any factual basis or citations what-so-ever for the things he was saying in defense of big companies, and he told me that the literature is out there.
There was obviously no rational or emotional thoughts running through this man's mind. Mort Kondracke is a drone...a hack who is probably so indebted to Fox for giving him a B-rate punditry career that he is willing to play the part of corporate Republican without any open-mindedness or introspection.
I will pay Kondracke one compliment though - he seems to have a nice wife. She was there, witnessing our conversation. I turned to her.
Me: Do you agree with this?
Mrs. Kondracke: Well, I have more sympathy with the message of the movie than he does.
Honestly, that was very heartening. I don't know anything about her other than that one sentence out of her mouth, so if she turns out to be a corporate lobbyist or something I reserve the right to reassess. But for now: Mrs. Kondracke rocks. And she has my sympathies as well.
The bottom line: Non-open-minded Republicans will not appreciate Moore's movie. But it should be a revolution starter for Democrats, progressives, Independents, and open-minded Republicans. See it soon and bring your friends.

York Minster dressed to impress for the Tour de France
Updated 5:52pm Friday 4th July 2014 in News By Haydn Lewis
A GIGANTIC yellow jersey has been placed on the roof of York Minster to celebrate the Tour de France coming to the city.
Those watching the Grand Départ of the Tour de France on the streets of York this weekend will miss out on what is probably the highest Yellow Jersey in Yorkshire – a 15 metre square banner installed 200 feet up on top of the cathedral's central tower.
The Dean of York, the Very Reverend Vivienne Faull, said: "We'll have the cyclists travelling across the new Piazza by the South Door on Sunday morning, but knowing how many helicopters and aircraft will be filming and broadcasting to the global audience from the skies above the city, we couldn't resist the opportunity to put a clear Tour De France stamp on top of the Minster."
The Yellow banner which says "Allez, Alleluia!" with the York Minster symbol of crossed keys, will remain on top of the building throughout the weekend, was produced by Harrisons Signs Ltd, based in Clifton, York.
Those visiting York Minster on Saturday evening for one of the early evening tower tours will be able to see the banner up close. For more information, or to book on a tower tour, please visit www.yorkminster.org

Jennifer Lafond fundraising for THE MICHAEL LISNOW RESPITE CENTER
My name is Jennifer Lafond and I am supporting the Michael Linslow Respite Center through my run in the 2013 Boston Marathon. The Respite Center of Hopkinton, MA provides programs of support for children and adults with disabilities. Programs offered by the center include after school care, daycare, adult day programs, and overnight care to give families support for the emotional and physical care needed by their children.
For ten years I helped my mother, a retired special education teacher, at summer camps in North Carolina for special needs children. Families were grateful for the programs catered to their children and the care given. This is just a small scale of what the Respite Center offers daily and is made possible by your donation.
I have run races in the past, but this will be the first race I have run for a much needed purpose. The money that I raise contributes 100% to supporting families who would otherwise not be able to afford assisted care for their children

WaPo Pushes 'Sophisticated' DC Events
So much to choose from … best to rely on the Editors' Picks – there are only five of them. Two of the five look promising. First, you can enjoy a "Drag Queen Brunch" in Dupont Circle, then it's off to the African American Civil War Memorial for … "Bare Breasted Women Sword Fighting."
This topless dueling took place yesterday, as part of the "Capital Fringe Festival," a performing arts festival that bills itself as "Rebellious and adventurous."
"Bare Breasted Women Sword Fighting" was, according to the Post's "Quick Take," "A martial whirl of femininity and breasts."
But an editorial review by Nelson Pressley assured readers that there was more to the event. "They'll show some skin, but this ain't yer daddy's strip club. They're going to play with conventions and make you think about it." Bare breasted women sword fighting, Pressley said, was "some of the most sophisticated comedy I've seen so far on the Fringe."
Sophisticated. Got that?

I know this will draw little attention, given that Podium Cafe is all about Euro pro racing, but the Nature Valley Grand Prix made an announcement this weekend that has a potential trickle-down effect on the rest of the domestic circuit.
At this year's National Racing Calendar event, the Nature Valley Grand Prix will prohibit the use of time trial bikes (and certain aero equipment like disc wheels and helmets). This might not be sitting well with the top-line professional squads, which are paid to ride the TT bikes you all salivate over. But for the elite and lower-level domestic squads, it has the potential to keep them from losing time to the tricked-out pro teams and it is also a big cost-saver (given that Delta is charging $175 each way for bikes).
What will be most interesting to see is whether any other NRC stage races follow suit. This is the first year that USA Cycling has had a rule on the books allowing promoters to mandate that "mass start" bicycles are used.
Here's the entire text of the news release (with quotes from a couple team directors):
Nature Valley Grand Prix Announces Changes For Time Trial
Minneapolis – This year's edition of the Nature Valley Grand Prix will go "old school," with a return to Eddy Merckx-style racing for the individual time trial that opens this year's USA Cycling National Racing Calendar event.
Executive Director David LaPorte said the Nature Valley Grand Prix has opted to invoke a new USA Cycling rule that allows race organizers to specify that "massed-start legal" bicycles are required for time trials. The rule will be enforced for the six-mile (9.6 km) St. Paul Riverfront time trial on June 16.
"The decision was made partly to simplify logistics for the teams and partly out of fairness," LaPorte said. "We have a time cut in the time trial to ensure that no one loafs to stay fresh for the criterium that night. But in the past, we have had some strong riders cut primarily because they did not have time trial bikes. We have also had some riders in the past who haven't competed because of the expense of bringing two bikes, particularly with the outrageous charges the airlines are imposing."
LaPorte said he doesn't expect the change to significantly affect the overall results of the five-day, six-stage race.
"The time trial is only six miles and the last mile is an eight-percent climb," he said. "Also, with the new road race in Menomonie, Wisconsin, the seconds gained or lost in the time trial are likely to be insignificant. Unlike the old Mankato road race, this course will be very hilly, with lots of opportunities for aggressive teams to shatter the pack. If big time gaps don't form, it will likely be because the teams haven't taken advantage of the terrain."
The Nature Valley Grand Prix will work with USA Cycling officials to spell out the specific restrictions regarding aero equipment (wheels, helmets, etc.), which will ultimately appear in the race bible.
The decision to prohibit time trial bikes is certainly not unique, as several international races (Tour of Qatar, Tour of Langkawi, etc.) have banned time trial bikes and aero equipment for years. In the U.S., the team time trial stage of the 2008 Tour de Georgia featured the same restrictions.
Danny Van Haute, director of the Jelly Belly Cycling presented by Kenda professional men's team, said the decision to prohibit time trial bikes will level the playing field. "Not everyone can buy time trial equipment and if the pro teams have this equipment, it's not fair to the riders who don't," he said. "I'll bet the results will be the same with time trial bikes as they would be without."
Team Vera Bradley Foundation Director Lisa Hunt said it is disappointing for her team's bicycle sponsor not to be able to showcase its time trial bikes. "However, in the interest of being fair and equitable for all parties involved, I support the decision," she said. "Clearly, our strongest time trial riders will be strong on a road bike or a time trial bike. So it's not like we are at a disadvantage."
LaPorte said he will poll all women's and men's teams after the race – as he has done in previous years – to get an idea of whether the new rule should be retained for 2011.
