text: Hundreds of cyclists got in the saddle for the cycling challenge of a lifetime by completing the last of The Prostate Cancer Charity's Tour Rides for 2011 in Stoke-on-Trent on Sunday, raising thousands of pounds in doing so. More than 1,200 riders took part in the Tour Ride as the event returned to the region for a third successive year. Riders were able to experience Stage Three of the official Tour of Britain route after the professionals who battled it out on the route earlier this month. Whether riders took on the tough 140km Pro Ride across the hilly Staffordshire Moorlands or the shorter but none-the-less rewarding 80km Challenge Ride, the Stoke-on-Trent Tour Ride was no ordinary challenge, for no ordinary cause. The circular route started and finished in the Trentham Estate. Smooth radio presenter Mark Goodier took part in the Stoke-on-Trent ride for the second year running, having completed the Wales Tour Ride earlier this summer. He said; "It was a really hard ride - I thought it might be easier the second time around! I think me being a year older than last year definitely didn't help either! "There were a lot of people out along the route cheering the riders on which I found really encouraging. It really is amazing to see so many people supporting the Charity. I would definitely challenge everyone to do it next year." Rob Stevenson from Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire, who took part in the Challenge Tour Ride, said; "I only signed up for the ride a couple of weeks ago - I was roped in by my friends! It's a brilliant event and everybody wins - it's great for your health and great for the Charity. "I really enjoyed myself and it felt good to do something for a worthy cause. The undulating route was very pleasant and I'll definitely be back next year." Anna Walker and her husband Timothy travelled from Clapham in London to do the Challenge and Pro Tour Rides respectively. She said; "This was my third year of taking part in this ride and I loved the route this year - I preferred it to recent years. The countryside looked beautiful - even in the rain! "My husband had prostate cancer ten years ago and is now fully recovered and a trustee for the Charity. Events like this are fantastic to raise money and to help raise awareness of this important issue." Paul Ward from Harefield took on the Challenge Tour Ride with his friends - raising £2,500 for the Charity in doing so. He said; "I had a few personal reasons for doing the ride. My Dad rode in the Tour in 1959 and then was sadly diagnosed with prostate cancer last year - thankfully he is now in recovery. "It's my first event for The Prostate Cancer Charity and I really enjoyed it. It is a great ride" Andy Lulham travelled from Crawley to take part in the Tour Ride. He said; "I really enjoyed the ride, it's quite challenging but not as hilly as I thought it might be. My Uncle has been battling prostate cancer for ten years and other men in my family have also been affected. I've been raising money for the Charity at a number of events this summer and I found this ride extremely enjoyable." Katie Robbins, Tour of Britain Project Manager at The Prostate Cancer Charity, said: "It is fantastic to see so many people taking to their bikes to raise funds for such an important cause. We are extremely pleased to bring the Tour Ride back to Stoke-on-Trent for the third year in a row and the local people continue to really embrace the event with enthusiasm. "I would like to say a huge thank you to all the riders that took part today and their friends and family that came down to cheer them on. Please do keep your sponsorship money coming in, it is not too late to show the charity your support and there are great incentives available!" Prior to today's event, there had been four previous Tour Rides in East Anglia, Wales, Scotland and London; all designed the raise funds to help the Charity fight the most common cancer in men in the UK.

Comments about Remington 870 Replacement Barrel:
Great product. It took about a minute to install and I was ready to use it. The rifled barrel is very accurate far more accurate than I thought. The shorter barrel makes it more mobile but also more accurate with slugs. Even though it is rifled it also shoots bird shot very well if you like modified cylinder choke. I didn't buy it for home defense but you could easily buy accessories to make it tactical, the rifled barrel can only help.

Comments about Remington 870 Replacement Barrel:
I live in an area where the state does not allow the use of center-fire rifles for hunting deer. This barrel turned my 12 gauge slug gun into a .50 caliber rifle allowing me to use ammunition with better ballistic characteristics and a longer effective range. My 870 was manufactured in 1995, this barrel fits tightly into the receiver.

Comments about Remington 870 Replacement Barrel:
Good solid product typical of Remington. I purchased the fully rifled barrel. Shot perfect out of the box. Good sights. Use Remington Premier copper solid hollow point sabot slugs, and you will not be disappointed. Only drawback is [$] price. Should be cheaper when considering the price of combo. Already owned the 870 with 26" VR small game barrel, so opted to purchase only the barrel.

Symbols - Used, Misused, or Misapprpriated?
by mugaliens
Tags: misapprpriated, misused, symbols
|Share this thread:
Oct6-10, 11:43 AM
"Kenneth Burke described Homo sapiens as a "symbol-using, symbol making, and symbol misusing animal." - Source
Jung long separated symbols from signs, with a sign being a known representation of something, such as a stop sign or a town's name and population upon entry, and a symbol standing for something less concrete, such as a coat of arms, or even mystical, as in the square and compasses used by Freemasons.
From what I understand, most of these types of symbols were created by those who use them, although admittedly out of other symbols. How many lions are represented on various coats of arms?
What about misappropriated symbols? Two come to mind: The rainbow for the GLBT community, and various colors used by gangs. What happens, for example, when sixteen rival gangs are in town, and have (mis)appropriated white, black, red, green, blue, yellow, brown, crimson, purple, torquois, * aqua, sky blue, jonquil, indigo, clear, and chartreuse? What in the world will our children wear to school, then? Gray?
I say it's high time we reappropriate the misappropriated symbols, particularly "gang colors." They don't own the colors! A color in and of itself is not a symbol, and it certainly isn't a sign. If gangs want their own symbols, they're going to have to get a *bit* more creative and design their own, even if it's just a cursive letter "L" like Laverne Dafazio wore on her pink jacket.
No, way - that's too easy, as letters aren't symbols, either. Heck - if gangs want symbols, they're going to have to work at it, and design their own coat of arms, or at least, their own logo.
The question is, can they do that? If so, why haven't they? I mean, seriously - the Girl Scouts designed their own logo 98 years ago, in 1912. Why can't a gang find someone creative in their midst and have him/her design a logo for the gang?
Realistically, this is already being done in the form of various tats (tatoos). If that's the way they want to go, I say "fine" and would ask them to officially and formally retire the "gang colors" nonsense so that our children can go back to being kids in school instead of being suspended for three days because they wore the "wrong" color shirt to school.
Now that I've brought the subject home to most of us, here's the subject: Why is it that most humans are symbolic in nature? Is it an outward extension of an inner part of our brain shared with the many animals out there who exhibit various patterns of recognition displayed on themselves or in their movements, the patterns of which are used for both identification/association of species as well as mating rituals?
Oct6-10, 12:09 PM
Gang members can't be artistic, so they must wear bold colors so that they're easier to fire at, because they aren't very accurate marksmen either.
It's pretty surprising that 'bringing the subject home to most of us' involves discussing the dregs of humanity. Am I to assume that the majority of PF'ers live in poor, multicultural neighborhoods now? Or should I go with my initial belief that your introduction to your main question isn't all that relevant to the question itself.
As for your question...
Symbols are a direct mapping between a concept/idea, or set of them, and an experienced thing, i.e. the symbol itself. The swastika is a beautiful representation of the sun, for instance. What else are you really asking for the answer to, other than this?

Rugby club pays tribute to Hockney assistant
Tributes have been paid to David Hockney's assistant Dominic Elliott by members of the rugby club where he played, as a second row, in the seaside town of Bridlington following his reported death.
– Bridlington Rugby Club chairman Gordon Morric, speaking to the Bridlington Free Press
Dominic was a valued member of our club, a good player with great potential. With his size and ability he could easily have established himself as a first team regular. He was a popular lad and had so many friends at the club.

Especially in hot weather, it seems the sun gets a bad wrap, but not this time.
From the Harvard School of Public Health, researchers say there does appear to be a link between increased levels of vitamin D and a lower risk of colon cancer.
This confirms previous studies that have shown people who live in regions with greater sun exposure generally have fewer deaths from colon cancer.

Grilled Stuffed Salmon Recipe
"For years, my husband worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-so I've prepared fish all kinds of different ways. This variation of stuffed salmon gets high marks from my family." —Cathie Beard, Philomath, Oregon
- 1 whole salmon (8 pounds)
- 2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1-1/4 teaspoons pepper, divided
- 2 cups unseasoned stuffing cubes
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
- 3/4 cup butter, melted, divided
- 1/4 cup egg substitute
- 4-1/2 teaspoons plus 1/4 cup lemon juice, divided
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- Remove head and tail from salmon if desired. Sprinkle the cavity with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine the stuffing cubes, carrots, mushrooms, onion, parsley, 1/4 cup butter, egg substitute, 4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, garlic and remaining salt and pepper; stuff cavity. Secure with metal skewers. Drizzle salmon with oil. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.
- Prepare grill for indirect heat using a drip pan. Place salmon over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 40-50 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork and a thermometer reads 165° for stuffing.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining butter and lemon juice. Serve with salmon. Yield: 12 servings.

Spending $30 Million Below Medicaid Global Cap for April 2012
The Department of Health's (DOH) April Medicaid global spending cap report for the first month of the state fiscal year (SFY) 2012-2013 shows that expenditures are $30 million, or 2.5% under projections. State share Medicaid spending for SFY 2012-2013 is capped at $15.9 billion, as enacted by the most recent state budget.
The report includes sector-specific spending trends and explanations for variation in each provider sector, as well as a delineation of the budgeted $600 million increase over SFY 2011-2012 spending. The report states that the $600 million will include costs associated with price increases such as managed care premiums, pharmacy, and fee-for-service rate changes to inpatient, outpatient, and nursing homes that still await Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approval; and enrollment growth, which increased by 31,000 in April 2012, reaching 5,094,363 enrollees at the end of April 2012.
The April report states that Medicaid enrollment is projected to increase more slowly than the previous year. These increases will likely be offset by a net change in one-time revenue and spending actions as well as the continuation of Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT) initiatives. The state also expects to continue working with the provider community to reduce its accounts receivable for retroactive rates owed to the state during the current SFY.
DOH and the Division of the Budget also announced they will conduct a Webconference in mid-July to discuss the details of the global spending cap projection model. HANYS will provide details as information becomes available. HANYS urges members to continue to take a cautious and conservative approach with respect to internal financial budgeting and reporting processes, and to continue driving improvements in quality and patient safety that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of patient care.

I feel very privileged that the Liberal Democrat members in Sopwell and Verulam have asked me to be the Liberal Democrat candidate for St Albans South in the Herts county council elections on May 2nd. Having narrowly missed being elected to Parliament, I will be honoured to serve at least part of the constituency in public office, if I am fortunate enough to be elected.
I increasingly think the split between county and district councils is confusing to everyone.
But in short the county is the one that deals with education (though not totally), roads and pavements (could do much, much better!), highways generally, adult and social care (a huge human and financial challenge here with strong links to health issues), and child protection.
It also has responsibility for waste disposal – and the knotty arguments about incineration! – and for public transport (though not all of it). And it has additional responsibilities for economic development including such things as broadband in rural areas.
I'm sure I've left something out of that list! But crucially for St Albans South, Herts County Council also has the key land ownership in the site where Helioslough wants to build its wholly inappropriate lorry terminal. I've fought tooth and nail against this appalling proposal in every possible forum and look forward to having an inside track at County Hall.
I hope that I can bring something to the table both from my past experience as a senior manager at BT and then at Transport for London, and from my current involvement in the local voluntary sector. I will certainly bring a passion for the division I hope to represent.
When I moved into St Albans more than 30 years ago, it was into a garden flat in Sopwell ward. It was on the crest of Old London Road with the Abbey dominating the skyline. This was my first step on the property ladder, I commuted in and out of London on the smelly diesels of the old 'Bed-Pan line' (though they generally had seats) and I'm almost embarrassed to admit how little I paid for the flat. Different times!
I was married in the division – at my parish church which just happened to be the Abbey. My boys were baptised at St Bart's church on Vesta Avenue.
Later we lived on Watling Street in the Verulam half of the division.
I can confidently say that over the course of more than 30 years I have knocked at every single door in both halves of the division, and I must have spoken to most local residents, not least in the last few months! Many are now friends.
I am fortunate enough to have a brilliant team of Liberal Democrat district councillors in the shape of David Poor and Fred Wartenberg, while it is an honour to be following in the steps of Martin Frearson. I was campaign manager for Martin when he first stood for the council in Verulam in the early 1980s, and we have been friends ever since. He has been a great public servant for St Albans and I hope that he and Sue enjoy proper retirement in a world away from committees and meetings.
I look forward to meeting up with as many more local residents as I can between now and May 2nd. There will be the usual blizzard of leaflets.
As ever, if you have any questions or comments, just get in touch via this site or by twitter or by Facebook.

The week six Arrowhead Award goes to the fans. Arrowhead is the 27th largest stadium in North America, the fifth largest in the NFL and as of today can be crowned the loudest stadium in the world. We're talking a 40 year old stadium here. Nothing fancy just a bowl of red and gold seats, with no partial roof to help hold in sound. The atmosphere and noise is created by the fanatics that make up Chiefs Nation. The fans and noise caused multiple penalties that at one time had the Raiders in a 3rd and 48. THIRD AND FREAKING 48.

Cash benefits of education revealed
Educating young people to A-level and degree standard boosts the UK's coffers by tens of thousands of pounds per student, new research shows. But the economy could be damaged if the UK fails to produce more highly skilled workers, says a report commissioned by the University and College Union.
The study shows that it costs the state around £5,000 to put a pupil through a two-year A-level course and almost £19,000 to send the average student to university.
It adds that the UK economy benefits "substantially" from individuals gaining these higher qualifications.
Overall, the Government will get an extra £180,000 back from a graduate over a working lifetime, compared to someone with A-levels.
And the return to the wider economy of a student gaining an A-level is around £47,000, the report says.

Cloudy brown with large, creamy, long-lasting head. A bit like bourbon-soaked zucchini bread (basically, the esters there arent quite banana-like to make it booze-soaked banana bread). Bit of nuttiness. Flavor is sweet, but not cloying. Very fruity. The body is full and creamy, but the flavor is almost light for a barleywine. Almost minty in the back from the hops, Im assuming, but this definitely goes the path of the less hoppy British barleywines instead of the hop monster American versions. Extremely drinkable for its size.

Aged 10 months, sampled at the brewery. Lots of lace, a siipper, and very drinkable. Drinkable. Reminded me of Doggie Claws without the lovely orange taste. Glen the brewmaster said he is onto wood chips for the next batch, if not even the existing one. Rich and can be a solid one with more complexity.

To the best of my knowledge this is the first barley wine that 5 Seasons has brewed. The aroma is more fruity than most in this style, but it still had a great smell. Th taste matched the aroma. I could really tell that this had some alcohol in it. You could never drink more than one of these if you want to be coherent. Im glad to see that the 5s has branched out into barley wines.

Not at all RETIRED, thankfully!
Appearance: Pours a hazy, robust-looking mahogany body with a dense off-white head.
Smell: Rich, dark toasted toffee aroma with hints of dark fruits and minor, light alcohol notes.
Taste: Very lush malt flavor with tons of sweet toffee. Mild fruitiness. Slight hop bite on the altogether sweet finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Quite warming.
Drinkability: Heavenly. A very enjoyable barleywine from 5 Seasons.

This beer is once again available.
Pours a dark translucent ruby-brownish with a decent light tan head. Strong malty and hoppy aroma has molasses and nutty hints. Rich flavor has a strong alcohol zing typical of barleywines, but this does not dominate the taste, which has a nice balance of malt and hops and a nutty undertone. Texture is smoother and more pleasant than most barleywines I have tried.

Adrian Peterson backs Vikes coach20 Dec 13
Peterson says he wants to finish career with Leslie Frazier
By Nate Scott
Adrian Peterson gave a big vote of confidence to Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier when speaking to the press on Friday, saying he wished to finish his career playing under Frazier.
Adrian Peterson wants Frazier back On closing strong: "When you win it helps a lot I look forward to finishing my career with coach Frazier"—
Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) December 20, 2013
Peterson said he looks forward "to finishing my career here with Coach Frazier."—
Ben Goessling (@GoesslingESPN) December 20, 2013
Peterson has played under Frazier since the coach took over Viking head coaching duties for the last six games of the 2010 season.
Since then, Frazier has amassed just a 19-31-1 record, though he did take the team to the playoffs last year before losing to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wild Card game.
Frazier has been said to be on the hot seat this season with the Vikings at 4-9-1 and mired at the bottom of the NFC North.
Earlier this season GM Rick Spielman said Frazier was "not going anywhere," but as the losses pile up, don't be surprised to see Frazier lose his job this offseason…or sooner.

What IVF Taught Me About Love
This Kind of Love
What Tom and I did next hardly spoke to the massive devastation we felt -- we took a picture. We'd been planning on commemorating our anniversary with a self-portrait, and even though we didn't feel like grinning, we went ahead with it anyway: the two of us side by side in our vegetable garden, me in overalls holding a broom, Tom in a suit jacket with a rake � la American Gothic. Our friends and family raved about the snapshot, though they may not have looked too closely at my swollen eyes.
At our anniversary dinner that night, Tom reached across the table for my hand. "If I have to go through this," he said, "I'm so glad it's with you."
This kind of love dilutes stress, and our marriage was facing plenty. Yes, we felt hopeless and powerless. We felt angry and sad. We felt emotions that were difficult to name. But at least we were feeling it together.
We hadn't even ordered dessert before we brought up the idea of trying IVF again. No, we decided. Too soon. Emotionally, I felt like I'd been tackled by a linebacker. Tom was hurting too, but he took care of me. He brought me french fries or wheat beer or both, depending on my mood, checking in often enough to recognize when I needed to be alone. We stayed close but gave each other space. Like two planets orbiting the same sun.
This kind of love, I was learning, was about adjusting. Giving each other what we needed, when we needed it. Tom and I discussed adoption but we knew that would take much longer than IVF. We'd also underestimated the pull of biology. Maybe we would adopt in the future, but with the clock ticking -- I was 34 -- we still wanted to try for a child of our own. After a few months, we looked at the calendar and began making plans.An Accidental Sign
Two days before Christmas, on the way to my appointment to begin the process of my second IVF cycle, I was in a car accident. An 89-year-old man ran a stop sign and smashed into me.
Maybe it was the shock of the accident, but it seemed like Tom arrived at my side in minutes, despite driving miles. We watched the wrecker lift my car onto the flatbed. It was, the insurance claims adjuster would tell me later with a dramatic pause, a total loss.
We knew loss. This car wasn't it.
The doctor still saw me that afternoon. Before I could begin taking fertility medication, he had to conduct a baseline ultrasound to examine my ovaries and uterus. Tom grinned at the screen, looking nearly as proud of my eggs as he would a baby. "They've got a good shape," he said, sounding official, and the nurse agreed and cheered us on. The doctor approved; all systems were go.
Later, I took a closer look at the accident report. The man who hit my car was named Francis. That was Tom's father's name, though he didn't answer to it. Everyone called him Frank, and on a snowy day back in the early 1970s, that's how his wife, Kathryn, got his attention with some important news. "Frank, I crashed the car," she'd said. "And there's more. I'm pregnant."
It was a story I'd heard many times from Tom, his sisters, his aunts and uncles -- family lore so familiar I felt like it was my own.
I showed the report to Tom. "Frank, I crashed the car!" I said gleefully.
It could be a sign, we allowed. Maybe I'd get to deliver the news of a pregnancy, too. I never met Tom's parents, who died when he was young, but I feel like I know them from stories and pictures. We often said we felt they were looking out for us in life.
Tom drove us to my parents' on Christmas day. We hadn't told anyone that we were attempting IVF again. There'd be fewer people to un-tell, we rationalized. We were still hoping for the best but we knew the chance we'd conceive was about 40 percent -- or possibly worse after a failed cycle.
"Do you really think the accident was a sign?" I asked him.
Tom smiled but kept his eyes on the road, knowing how nervous I was to be back in the car. "I think it means something else," he said. "Nothing's going to stop us."
My heart grew larger. This is joy: loving someone who isn't afraid to hurtle alongside you, driving life's potholed roads. Experiencing pain when the other does, but figuring out how to heal. To grow not just old together, but whole together.
A few weeks after I'd told Tom, "Frank, I crashed the car," I finished the sentence: I was pregnant. When our ninth anniversary rolled around the following summer, we posed for another American Gothic picture. I can see everything we'd been through in our eyes. The baby inside me stretches against my dress, like he can't wait to get out and join us. And there he is in our tenth anniversary photo: 8-month-old Trevor, holding a little red plastic hammer.
This love. Does our baby feel it as strongly as we do? Tom and I look straight into the camera and grin, with everything in the world between us. Once again, we are like two planets orbiting the same sun. Or son. The shutter clicks. This is us, still smiling.
Sarah Layden is happy to report that another son, Brendan, now 7 months, joined the family portrait last August. She teaches writing at Indiana University, Purdue University Indianapolis, and Marian University.

Jennifer Aniston Slammed by WashPost Critic For...Not Going Nude?
By Tim Graham | February 26, 2012 | 13:35
Washington Post movie critic Ann Hornaday has a strange way of judging actresses. In her review of the new grossout comedy "Wanderlust," Hornaday complained that actress Jennifer Aniston's breasts were digitally altered in a sequence where she takes off her top.
Somehow this proves she's still "more suited to TV rather than the big screen." Surely Hornaday realizes she's been a movie star for ten years and hasn't been a TV regular since 2004. Let's not state this new movie is classic cinema, but can't you be a great actress without exposing yourself? Hornaday seems to hate that she would star in a nudity-"enhanced" movie without joining in.
She complained about the movie:
... when it's not stooping to slow-motion scenes of superannuated nudists running across a field in all their pendular glory. Male frontal nudity may be the driving raison d'etre of "Wanderlust," which also features a sequence of Aniston taking off her top - an image that's digitally scrambled, presumably according to the actress's contract.
Between this film and last summer's "Horrible Bosses," Aniston's coyness - starring in explicit movies without having to be explicit herself - seems to be becoming her stock in trade. It's not a particularly commendable one, and "Wanderlust" does little to disprove that she's still a star more suited to TV rather than the big screen.

#8 Well, she might write
Submitted by BosTarus on Sun, 02/26/2012 - 4:34pm.
Well, she might write "presumably" because she has a bit more insider info on this issue than the layman.
And, in this case, the debate over the Jennifer Anniston topless scene has been a bit of a to-do in hollywood news. So the critic here is not making this up out of no where. Anniston's contract had her agreeing to do the scene, and she later decided she wanted to take it back-she wanted to alter her contract post signing. There was a big kerfuffle over it all, and even though they didn't need to (because the contract clearly called for it)-out of respect for Ms. Anniston, they altered the scene way after locking the film.
Anyway, this may be the first time you're hearing of it, but it was a minor-ly big deal in the film industry for a short time there.

Not sure why all of sudden she's concerned about nude scenes as she's done it in the past and she still looks great. It's not a frontal scene, but there's some good "side boob" in the movie "The Good Girl" and I seem to recall at least one other movie where she had some partial nudity.
Weird that they would digitally alter the scene rather than just cut it---don't think I've ever seen that in a movie.

This is the first time I have have heard a woman complain about this. Men are usually the ones that have a problem over non-nudity in my experience.
Personally, as much as I like the female form unclad :-), I root for any woman that has the strength to resist the temptation to take it off for a movie role. I certainly don't get angry if an actress' assets are brought to you by CGI or a body double.

It was probably mentioned in the review because it was a pretty well publicized ordeal-Anniston had agreed to (and was subsequently contractually bound) to the topless scene. She decided to take it back after picture had locked so it was an ordeal to go in and re-edit the film to make her happy. They didn't have to, but they didn't want any bad blood with her.

That could be it, Cool. I saw the Doors over in Honolulu when they were ridin' high!!! (A little Rev. Wright for you!!!) Me and my friend (both of us musicians who had played in over-21 bars and clubs when we were 16-17 year old high schoolers) got our tickets (probably $3) and drove into Honolulu in my 54 Desoto - which cost me $50 - from the North Shore, and that was a trek, although we used to hear a LOT of good bands in Honolulu, including Jimi on his first tour, Led Zep on their first tour, and everybody else that was popular back then. I'm sure that we adjusted our 'mindsets' and our 'outlook' with some combination of illegal substances on the way in - but, HEY, we didn't drink!!! Hahahahahaha!!!
Anyway, and unfortunatly, Morrison was drunk, and babbling and stumbling............so the band couldn't really stay in synch with him, and the show was really disappointing, because I thought their first 2-3 albums were quite good.

As I mentioned above, Aniston has done partial nude scenes and for that matter Meg Ryan did a full frontal scene in a movie late in her career (famously referenced in "Knocked Up").
Just saw the other replies and forgot about The Doors. So to answer another comment it was both those movies.

#30 Ann Hornyday has been paid..
Submitted by greggy on Sun, 02/26/2012 - 10:37pm.
considerable sums of money to keep her clothes on - as seen in her photo, in which she wears a thick turtleneck, that comes all the way up to the hair on her chinny chin chin. Based on Ann's photo, I'd personally chip in for a full cover burqa.
Hornaday is just jealous because Aniston's a woman that men would actually enjoy seeing without clothes..and yet she chooses "blurring".
This film is plenty lewd enough as it is, but apparently the liberal's thirst for hedonism is unquenchable - ultimately, it is only the complete destruction of all morality and decency that will satisfy too many of them.

Submitted by Less1leg on Tue, 02/28/2012 - 11:08pm.
I wish more Hollywood actors and actresses kept their darned cloths on. The Golden Years of Hollywood were filled with -- actors--. Yes, they spent hours crafting their skills to play parts. But not today. What have we learned about today's modern Hollywood. Well, for female stars like Anniston, the prerequisite is go nude or no parts. We've seen Miss Hathaway, a terribly gifted actress succume to Hollywood starlet syndrome. She had to go nude or no good parts. Anniston on the other hand, has some backbone to her. And I give her credit for maintaining her dignity. Let the skill be the guide of success, not the body parts and the alternate lifestyle exhibition that today's Hollywood want driven into your pinhead brains.
Male actors had to ascribe to Broke Back Mountain. Heck, an 82 year old Canadian movie icon had to play a gay guy to get an Oscar. And how many actors in the last couple of years had to play Gay guys to be recognized. For such a small segment of total society, you have to be gay or get out. And for female good actresses be naked or go away likewise.
Bravo, Jennifer, for standing up for your dignity. Your talent is what I watch, and why I personally watch TCM Channel and old Golden Year Hollywood movies. I watch talent, the other parts are for my imagination.

A Vancouver man remains in the hospital in critical condition after he was run down by an out-of-control car on Tuesday afternoon.
A trauma surgeon described Joseph Reilly's condition having tremendous injuries but expected to survive.
That crash happened along Highway 99 near Northeast 72nd Street in the Hazel Dell area of Vancouver.
The crash killed driver, Annastasia Morrison, 20 of Vancouver but it seriously injured Reilly.
A mangled mess is all that was left of the car that hit Reilly as he walked along Highway 99 on Tuesday afternoon.
"My initial thought was wow, that's a really nasty accident. I didn't know that I had a family member involved," said Aaron Hahn, Reilly's cousin and family spokesperson.
It was later on that Hahn found out his cousin, Reilly, was the innocent bystander hit by that car. Surveillance video from a C-Tran bus show what investigators said is Morrison's car speed by, lose control and then disappears in the distance into a cloud of dust.
The crash left Reilly with serious brain swelling.
"His most important issue right now is to make sure his brain function returns. We have made that possible to allow brain to expand like I said, beyond the confines of the skull," said Dr. George Dulabon, a trauma surgeon for Peace Health Southwest medical Center.
Reilly, was on his way to work at Smokey's Pizza when he was hit.
His family says he was working full time, striving to make it on his own.
"You don't believe that's real at first. It's stunning and now that we're coming to grips with what happened, now our focus as a family is Joseph's care and his recovery and being there for him," said Hahn.
Reilly's main injuries are brain swelling and numerous broken bones in his arms, legs and pelvis.
"Joseph is one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet and he has a creative mind and yet a biding sense of humor and optimistic soul," added Hahn.
Reilly's family is now by his side at the hospital, as they all pray that the 21-year-old gets back to his normal life.
"Joseph is fighting, hanging on, surrounded by family from all over who love him immeasurably. We know he's strong and we will be strong for him and with him, said Hahn.
Doctors say Reilly has a long road to recovery but because he's young, they do believe that will help with his recovery process.
The family has set up an account for donations to pay for Reilly's medical bills.
You can donate at any Twin Star Credit Union location under Joseph M. Reilly.

According to the forest service 2N71 is still closed due to the fire, but the campground and I assume the climbing area are both open.
I can start my own research but did you ^^^ Jason^^^ find out any more about Holcomb access? ~Susan
It is open just talked to a friend who just left today.
I called today too, found out all the roads with the exception of 2N71 (which affects Holcomb access none) are open. Not sure about puddles, snow or other hazards so a truck I'll drive just in case.
Susan, did you hit the Cosmic Crags yet?
Was out last week. No snow or puddles!
Locker. No, not yet and nice code name. Holcomb roads are open and dry with beautiful weather and minimal attendance. It was a perfect day.

Ambien is a sleeping pill that has helped millions overcome Insomnia, even Air Force pilots use it. A study by forensic scientists has found that Ambien, the most widely prescribed sleep aid in America, is one of the top 10 reasons for DUI arrests in 10 states.
So now, doctors and pharmacists are advised to remind patients to read the fine print, and to avoid dangerous situations that you may not remember, like getting in a car and driving under the influence of that pill. In 2004, the FDA reportedly received nearly 50 reports of problems with Ambien, including sleep-driving, which can make a person look drunk when they're not.
Dr. Mark Mahowald says, "sleeping medications are occasionally used in combination with alcohol, but either one alone can serve as a trigger for these behaviors". The FDA says it has no plans yet to change the label, but that it is just reminding people to read the label, and especially the fine print.

Bethany College President Scott Miller has pledged to lead what a letter describes as, "a long overdue national conversation about mass killings and gun violence."
"There's a need for activity right now and we as educational leaders just shouldn't be out there offering advice," said Miller. "We need to be actively involved seeing that a change occurs."
The letter that Miller signed, originated by the President of Emerson College in Boston, also calls for "curtailing access to assault weapons." It goes on to assert those weapons have no place in the hands of "civilians."
"There's a difference between Second Amendment rights and the guns, the military style weapons, the amount of ammunition that people hold," he said. "The gun show loophole, selling guns to people with mental illnesses or criminal records," Miller continued.
But any new federal gun control measure will have to pass through a Congress not entirely convinced an assault weapons ban will solve problems.
"I think that we all have to take a look at that in a comprehensive package," said Rep. Dave Reichert. (R-Wash.) He continued, "But, standing alone, as I said again yesterday, the assault weapons ban, the magazine limitations, does not solve the problems of gun crime."
And others wonder why law-abiding citizens require more gun laws.
"A lot of people, it's a sport for them, law abiding citizen who wants to shoot the gun, have fun with it," said one gun purchaser in Philadelphia, Pa.
Firearms enthusiasts have voted with their wallets. Gun shops nationwide report sell-outs of rifles facing a possible ban.

The Bottom Line
- Open and honest lyrics
- passion, Passion, PASSION!
- I've listened to the entire release twice now and can't find a single flaw.
- A companion DVD of the conference would have been a great addition but I don't see news of one.
- 11 songs
- Release Date: July 12, 2011 on sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records
- Style: Worship
Guide Review - Matt Redman - '10,000 Reasons'
The honesty of the lyrics is what jumped out at me first. Matt hasn't lived a live free of struggle and instead of throwing on the good old "I'm living a picture perfect life because I'm saved!" mask, he shares that truth. "Where Would We Be," my favorite track, is a prime example of that honesty. Where we be without your love? We'd still be lost in darkness. Where would we be without your cross? You made a way to save us.
The accessibility of the project caught my attention second. Redman keeps is simple without using too many "church" buzz-words and without a ton of over-done repetition. He has said that it comes from joining a new church after moving back to Brighton, UK last year and being "mindful of the un-churched coming in" while not "watering down your faith."
The final ear and heart grabbing moments came from the fact that the music is just plain good! I could write paragraph after paragraph detailing chord progressions, emotional lyrics, and individual songs, but the bottom line is that this is probably Matt Redman's best release to date. Maybe it's because it's a live project; maybe it's because Matt has gone back home to the UK. The why isn't nearly as important as the what here, and the what is that this is an amazing release!
10,000 Reasons Track Listing:
- We Are The Free
- Here For You
- Holy
- 10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)
- Fires
- Never Once
- Where Would We Be
- We Could Change The World
- Magnificent
- Oh this God
- Endless hallelujah

Haynes: As Weaselly As Alberto Gonzales
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Levin asked Haynes if he remembered seeing Baumgartner's July 26, 2002 memorandum on SERE training addressed to his office. "No, sir, I don't remember it at the time," Haynes said, fumbling dramatically through the memo's pages. "But I saw it a long time ago… it's possible I saw it at the time."
It got better. How could Haynes not have seen it? It was addressed to him! "The recipient," Haynes clarified, "is the Office of the Secretary of Defense General Counsel, which is not my precise title." Wow.
"I don't remember doing something with this information," Haynes said. "What I recall was the environment I described earlier. I've forgotten what prompted my interest other than the general concerns. There may have been some other catalyst but I can't be more specific."
Ever discuss SERE techniques with Addington, Yoo, or other senior lawyers? "Um, I believe I did discuss SERE techniques with other people in the administration," he said. What was the gist? "First off, my memory is not great. But if I were to discuss anything further I believe I'd have to talk about classified information." So his memory isn't great — unless he's in closed session? "I could not tell you the gist of those conversations outside of classified session."
Levin was, um, perplexed by this obvious lie. "I don't know what going into classified session would add to it." Haynes. "OK. I agree."
Haynes was thisclose to being a federal judge.

MADISON, MS (WLBT) - Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler is demanding a forensic audit of engineering projects done in her city by Madison County Engineer Rudy Warnock.
This request comes after an independent audit done on Warnock that claimed to find discrepancies in how much he was charging for his work.
The audit was done by hired engineer Richard McAfee of Florida. In his report, he claimed to have found multiple instances of excessive charges to the city of Madison, and questionable payments to the Warnock and Associates Engineering Firm.
After examining the report, Mayor Hawkins Butler says she believes Warnock subcontracted much of the work out for a lower fee. She also accuses Warnock of redesigning road projects, simply to increase his profit.
"Lets look at what the markup is, let's see if they are in line with what's in the contract. If there is nothing there on farming out all of this work, then I will be the first one to apologize to Rudy Warnock," says Hawkins.
During a press conference Monday, Warnock denied Mayor Hawkins Butler's accusations, and demanded she give him an apology.
"The Mayor of Madison is not an engineer, she doesn't understand standard engineering practices, she doesn't understand the process. For her to make allegations, that somehow or another I have marked up or modified a project to profit, is absolutely ludicrous."
Warnock says over 75 percent of the contracts he obtains are done in house. He also claims that his rates have been proven to be competitive, through an audit done by state officials earlier this year.

Inner Life of a Leader
Northwestern's Center for Learning and Organizational Change has an interesting talk coming up on May 1st: The Inner Life of a Leader with Dan McAdams.
During times of change and turmoil in communities and organizations, we need leaders who are committed to making the world around them a better place for future generations. Tragic stories from Enron to Katrina have left many people questioning the state of leadership in the United States. Where are the uplifting stories of leaders who have made a positive difference, and is there something to learn from these stories? Fortunately, the stories of people who exhibit positive leadership have been studied and will be the subject of McAdams' talk.
Dan McAdams, Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence in the School of Education and Social Policy, is the author of more than 150 articles and chapters and 14 books, including his recently released The Redemptive Self: Stories Americans Live By. McAdams is a leader in the recent emergence within the social sciences of narrative approaches to studying human lives—approaches that place stories and storytelling at the center of personal effectiveness and generativity.
This is the department in which I teach a knowledge management class.

Hi, Jack,
After browsing Dan P. MacAdams' offerings a bit, I'm struck again how all things pedological lead me back to my passion for homeschooling. No, not because of any religious convictions, but rather to generate in my children both excellence and leadership (or at least being a non-follower and end up as exec's like Enron).
Yet, I work for a University in my day job and spend a good deal of time thinking about COPs, community (which my children have less of in some ways and more of in others) and its impact on me and my career.
I see the family's chosen sport of Judo as a community with all the promise and problems of a COP. Dogmatism mixed with discovery.
And stories permeate it all. Stories of "unschooling" and judo triumphs, and Evil Exec's.
Tim Thomas

Far more is at stake from identity theft than financial injury alone, and recovering from the crime can be costly and time-consuming, an ex-RCMP officer warned Thursday.
Gerry MacKinnon represents Legal Shield and Kroll Backround America, two companies that specialize in helping victims of identity theft. His presentations are more than sales pitches, he said.
"I call it education," MacKinnon said while giving a set of group sessions at Ora Restaurant. "In 40 years of law enforcement, I've seen so many people hurt. . . . It's important for people to understand what's out there, and is it going to go away? No."
Identity theft involves the use of someone else's personal data for illegal advantage. While the crime is often associated with credit card theft, that's only one of five varieties. Other forms include theft of medical insurance numbers, driver's licences and social insurance numbers, MacKinnon said.
False personation is yet another form of identity theft, one that can destroy reputations and even innocent lives, provoking suicides in some cases, MacKinnon noted. When criminals forge a false identity using multiple elements of stolen identification, it's called synthetic identity theft.
"If any one of these happened to you, what time frame would it take to clean it up," McKinnon asked. His estimate is 600 hours, the equivalent of 15 weeks of missed work.
Social insurance numbers are particularly vulnerable because no one's watching, he said.
"I could get yours right now." He cited one case in which $75,000 was fraudulently charged through SIN theft. Retail clerks sometimes ask for the number, but MacKinnon tells consumers to provide it only when depositing money in a bank.
As for driver's licence theft, B.C. motorists are safeguarded in this province through a check done yearly when they renew their auto insurance, MacKinnon said.
The firms he represents recognized an increase in identity theft and are the only ones offering coverage of this type, he said. The coverage includes legal consultation and assistance in restoring credentials.

Brilliant BBC reply to Android (and one Windows 8) fans
Came across this post from DF, but Gruber didn't mention this part.
Thanks for your comments so far.
On the Apple v Android question. It is absolutely our plan to have quality products out on both products as soon as possible. There are three main factors we had to keep in mind when lining up releases: development, testing and launch complexity.
As the BBC Sport app is a hybrid app, based on the new Sport mobile browser site, the platform-specific development can progress in parallel, building on the core browser site. The decision to launch the core mobile browser site first (before either app) was itself to ensure that users got a quality product across as wide a range of devices as possible. The Android-specific development is very close to completion.
Due to the huge range of Android devices, testing for that platform is more complex and therefore takes more time.
And finally, scheduling 'big bang' launches, across a range of platforms, increases risk, and we want to ensure launches are as smooth as possible for users. Back in July, when we launched the Olympics app for iPhone and Android together, we saw over three times as many downloads of the iPhone version. Android continues to grow apace but this, together with the development and testing complexity, led us to the decision to phase the iOS app first.
Features also add complexity (and risk) to launches, which is why we'll be adding football teams, team customisation and video in the coming weeks, across all platforms, rather than at launch.
@ Uncle Fred - From an operating system point of view the Kindle Fire is an Android device, rather than a separate class of 'build', so requires relatively little additional development effort.
I.E. fragmentation makes Android harder to develop for, the average Android owner's disinterest in using their smartphone as a smartphone makes it harder for Developers to put Android first, and simply iOS is more important than Android.
All delivered with the fairness and integrity of an organization that's still known to make dictatorships tremble (ignoring some things in the past...).
Bloody Brilliant.
From the US to the BBC, thank you for your integrity.
