Candlemass – Bewitched
A WOMAN in a black cloak runs across a bridge, looking panicked. Behind her, come CANDLEMASS (sans frontman), dressed as mourners and carrying a coffin, moving in slow step. The woman scurries around among the graves in front of them. As they move slowly through the graveyard we notice that this video is set in some place outside of normal reality, where black spandex is acceptable funeral wear. They bring the coffin to a tombstone and set it down. The camera pans forward to reveal the text 'MESSIAH MARCOLIN RIP' on the grave marker. The members of Candlemass stand aside and look sad. A gentle breeze blows their hair. Suddenly, white smoke begins pouring from under the lid of the coffin, which begins to shake around violently. Suddenly, the pop tops off and MESSIAH MARCOLIN emerges, wearing a black robe and singing. He emphasises the lyrics with hand gestures, pointing to his eyes when he sings the word 'eyes', and pointing towards the camera when he sings the word 'you'. Messiah stomps dramatically through the graveyard as the song progresses, clawing at thin air. He reaches some buildings. He points, apparently towards LARS JOHANSSON, who was sitting on a step and stands up slightly dazedly. Next he points at LIEF EDLING AND MATS BJORKMAN, who are walking through the snow. They turn round stunned and approach him. We see the woman from earlier running through some snowy trees. Suddenly she turns and looks perturbed. We see that the reason for this is that Messiah has appeared six feet behind her. He sings at her dramatically. She turns with a gasp and flees onward through the woods. But there is no escape. Messiah points at her, and she too finally succumbs, following him dazedly as he beckons her.
We see that Messiah has now assembled a small platoon of ZOMBIFIED MID 80'S SCANDINAVIAN THRASHERS (including fucking Dead, for those gathering trivia points).He sings expansively in front of them. Then, as Lars plays a solo standing on some steps, he runs around between them, snarling at them, grabbing them and pushing them. The solo over, Messiah takes his place at the head of the column, and begins leading them forward in the Doom Dance, which involves plodding forward whilst wildly swinging the arms. The camera focuses on their stomping feet, an incongruous mixture of combat boots and high-top basketball shoes placing us firmly in our era. They stomp onward, with Messiah at their head singing, past various buildings and back to the graveyard, now covered in snow. They then stand around Doom Dancing on the spot whilst Messiah, still singing, climbs back into his coffin and closes the lid. The camera pans back up to focus on his simple epitaph, and we fade to black.

Behemoth – As Above, So Below
Scene: A bleak, grey landscape somewhere in Poland. The camera rushes extremely fast towards the members of BEHEMOTH, who stand stock still wearing corpse-paint and staring fiercely forwards. We cut with shots of the band playing in some dingy space and overlays of a Thelemic hexagram+penis symbol. INFERNO pouts and throws the horns. Heads bang in time, and someone shakily pans a camera over old religious woodcuts. We see the interior of an abattoir, the camera playing across rows of empty meathooks. NERGAL, the vocalist of Behemoth, trudges around in a dingy factory wearing a long black coat. Simultaneously, we see him singing in the bleak landscape we saw at the start. We see a man with an abject expression on his face making a symbol, possibly an anarchist sign or Lovecraft's elder sigil (or a very wonky pentagram) on the floor with dust. Some of the members of Behemoth pretend to be zombies. Nergal throws a handful of earth at the camera in slow motion. More shots of the factory interior, and an antique crucifix. Nergal pushes open a large set of double doors, revealing a large, dark machine-lined space in which TWO WOMEN IN PVC FETISH GEAR are making out. After making out for a while, some shots of a Bosch painting, and a solo, one of the women turns round and slowly and deliberately throws Nergal the horns. Apparently satisified with this turn of events, he continues his journey through the factory. There are suggestive shots of blade-like metal objects and silent black silhouettes of circular saws. Suddenly we see that the abattoir and the factory are one and the same as we come back to the meathooks, only now one of the meathooks has a FISH impaled upon it. Nergal contemplates the situation as the band plays on. There is a shot of a WOMAN pulling on a strip of cloth with her teeth, We move off faster down corridors. Nergal stops at another open door, startled at what appears beyond: a FIGURE IN A BLACK CLOAK, lit from behind, is holding up a goat skull in such a way that they resemble traditional depictions of Satan. Nergal glares sarcastically at the camera then moves on. We see the woman we briefly saw earlier bound in bandages lying on some sort of metal grille. A FACELESS FIGURE IN WHITE ROBES is binding up her face. Nergal walks on. A PAIR OF LEGS (presumably attached to someone) dangle over some candles. As the video closes, Behemoth pull out some sweet synchronised circular headbanging, graphically demonstrating why all real men have chest length hair.

Amorphis – Black Winter Day
Whirling trees. Fog. We see a HAND playing a keyboard: the arm to which the hand is attached is clad in an extremely frilly shirt. Everything is very dark. Flames roar in the darkness! A BOY looks very confused; he has no idea who Amorphis are, and how he ended up in their video. A hand grabs a swinging golden Thor's hammer. A FIGURE IN A CLOAK twirls around in some stage smoke. Flames roar in the darkness! The FINNISH (THEN: DOOM/DEATH NOW: PROG METAL/DEPRESSIVE ROCK) BAND AMORPHIS are seen standing in a foggy courtyard full of searchlights. The camera pans around TOMI KOIVUSAARI as he stares into the middle distance singing, whilst someone apparently shines a torch up underneath his face. Flames roar in the darkness! We see the boy cautiously picking his way over some rubble (naturally, during a foggy night) wearing a comically enormous cloak. The figure in the cloak paces through what appears to be part of a castle. We can see some blond hair spilling from the hood. Stage smoke appears to be pouring out of the figures cloak. Flames roar in the darkness! The camera pans up past the boy to a lighted window or opening in another part of the castle. The figure in the cloak stands in a searchlight beam, still pouring smoke. The searchlight clearly illuminates a modern steel fire escape behind him, ruining the ambience entirely. The figure walks through a corridor. Off from one side, flames roar in the darkness! The camera follows him up to the previously glimpsed opening, which is apparently a door at…the top of the fire escape! White light and smoke spills from around its edge. More lacy hands, fog, cloaked figures etc. etc. ESA HOLOPAINEN plays restrained solo on the fire escape. Everything is wreathed in fog and stage smoke. The figure in the cloak stands at the top of the fire escape above Holopainen, and opens his arms wide. Smoke is definitely pouring from his sleeves. He seems to be beckoning to the boy, who begins to climb the fire escape, stealing confused glances all around him as the figure makes cryptic hand gestures. The boy reaches the top, and enters the blinding white light of the space beyond. We see the cloaked figure, filmed in front of and amidst absolutely ludicrous quantities of stage smoke, with a searchlight placed behind its head. Then we see the boy looking around the room in utter bewilderment at what he sees: A gleaming white space full of stage smoke in which A GROUP OF 17th CENTURY TOFFS dance cheerfully, as if to the songs keyboard solo. We cut to Holopainen for some traditional low angle shots during the solo, and more shots of Koivusaari, now apparently on some sort of plinth, surrounded by shadowy figures, fog, stage smoke and searchlights. Someone waggles a torch at his face from off camera. We finally see the figure in the cloak: it is a CREEPY ANDROGYNOUS TEENAGER. The teen stands behind the boy as he looks extremely confused and slightly bored in the middle of the ballroom, and opens his arms as if to embrace him, wreathing the boy, and everything else, in an inexhaustible torrent of stage smoke. Flames roar in the darkness! More whirling and fog. The creepy teen walks around the boy as if to begin dancing with him. We see that the boy is wearing a really sweet gold embroidered black velvet coat. There is whirling. Fog. The child looks confused. The Thor's hammer lies on the creepy teen's empty cloak. Flames roar in the darkness!
Korpiklaani – Wooden Pints
First, there is darkness. Then JONNE JÄRVELÄ, the singer of Korpiklaani, hits a tree stump with an axe. We cut to the exterior of a small wooden shed or latrine, just in time to see JAAKKO LEMMETTY kick open the door and emerge, wearing a kyrtle and playing a fiddle in an unconvincingly stern manner. It has already become apparent by this point that the video is completely out of synch with the sound, a situation that will continue throughout the entirety of the video. We cut backwards and forwards between Lemmetty, the rest of Korpiklaani pretending to play their unplugged instruments in some sort of ruined stone structure, and Järvelä singing on top of a rock. We notice during this extended sequence that whilst the rest of Korpiklaani have put a reasonable amount of effort into assembling pseudo-medieval costumes, guitarist TONI HONKANEN is just wearing his dressing gown and some cargo shorts. The camera lingers on a close-up of him for a considerable length of time as he plays a solo.
There are more intercuts of the camera panning across the majestic wooded landscapes of Finland. Then we see scenes of the members of Korpiklaani sitting around a picnic table. They are drinking from clay mugs and eating various cuts of meat. Suddenly, they leap from the table and begin rolling around on the floor, wrestling each other. Honkanen is glimpsed assaulting one of his band mates with a small toy axe. The main solo over, we see that the band members have collapsed drunk in black and white. Järvelä grins and throws the horns from inside a small cave or overhang. Lemmetty once again plays his fiddle sternly, this time from inside the upper window of a picturesque woodland cabin. Järvelä toys with his axe, but the tree stumps of Karelia escape further molestation for the time being. The band plays on.

Dio – Holy Diver
Spooky introduction. The camera pans eerily over parts of trees. As the introduction continues, the trees become bare, before segueing into a shot of some skeletal ruins. A faint image of a CUT-OUT DEMON flashes across the screen. As the guitars begin, we see that the ruins are part of a ruined church. A window at the far end blazes with ominous red light. The blade of a dented, worn sword passes across the screen. The camera pans around to reveal the sword is held by RONNIE JAMES DIO, who is attired in the manner of a sword and sandals fantasy barbarian. He faces off to a MAN IN A LEATHER HOOD. The man is holding a large axe. He and Dio eye each other warily. Suddenly, Dio strikes the man down with a single swing of his sword, a shot which is repeated several times. The man sinks to the floor, glaring at Dio. Dio looks at him smugly and walks off. The camera cuts to a group of RATS crawling around in some stage smoke. We see the cut-out demon again, backed by footage of an erupting volcano. This image is intercut with footage of Dio walking through the church. He comes to a door full of glowing white mist, flanked by burning torches in brackets. He twirls his sword, readies it, and advances through the door. Inside the room a LARGE MAN IN BLACK LEATHER FETISH GEAR is hammering a sword on an anvil. Dio throws his old blade aside contemptuously as the man douses the sword. Dio advances singing, and the man throws him the shiny new sword, before turning away, having apparently lost interest. Dio moves on into a dungeon area, startling a buzzard on an unsteady wooden perch, almost causing it to lose its balance. He poses with his sword as he advances into a dark chamber, lit by burning braziers. At the other end of the room sit THREE HOODED FIGURES, their faces obscured. The camera pans across the figures: the one at the end raises his head, revealing that it has drawn-on reptile eyes instead of a face. We cut again to the ruined church, with Dio wandering through wiping his sword, having apparently concluded his business with the evil lizard monks. A figure writhes on the ground to the right. The camera seems as if it is panning to the figure, but in fact zooms in on a hole in the floor through which more stage smoke pours. We cut back to another rat, scurrying through smoky ruins, then shots of bare trees as the music fades out.

Judas Priest – Breaking the Law
Short scenes: two men dressed as pilgrim fathers with guitar cases feeding pigeons. A CCTV camera. A sleeping SECURITY GUARD. The interior of a bank. One of the strangely dressed men is seen leaving a pornographic video store. We cut to ROB HALFORD back when he still had hair and was in the closet, singing in the back of a convertible car. The two men with the guitar cases are seen walking through an amusement arcade. Rob Halfords car pulls up outside the bank we saw earlier, as the two men converge on it. We cut to the interior of the bank. Scenes of astonishment, Rob Halford and the two men, now wearing leather jackets and clearly identifiable as GLENN TIPTON and KK DOWNING, have burst through the doors. Tipton and Downing hold electric guitars, which they play vigorously. BANK CUSTOMERS stumble for cover as if their electric guitars were guns, clutching their ears as if experiencing an agonisingly loud noise. One man is shown screaming as his spectacles shatter. A quick cut shows us that DAVE HOLLAND has somehow snuck in during the confusion and set up a full drum kit in one corner. The bank customers cower on the floor as Rob Halford berates them in song form and Tiptree and Downing menace them with their guitars. The security guard, now awake, watches in astonishment over a CCTV link. The band clambers through the cashiers windows, brandishing musical instruments like weapons as a prim FEMALE BANK CLERK stares in horrified disbelief at KK Downing's red leather trousers. The security guard watches as the band proceeds to the bank vault, which the guitarists open by playing a massive power chord at it simultaneously. Inside the vault is an area closed off with vertical metal bars, which Halford grabs on to and bends apart with a contemptuous sneer. Inside is his prize: the gold record for Judas Priest's album British Steel, which has obviously been purloined by sinister agents of international finance. Judas Priest exit the vault, and display their gold record to the camera, apparently causing it to explode. Transported with delight, the security guard switches his monitor to display footage of Judas Priest in concert, and brings out from under his desk a wooden cut-out guitar, on which he mimes the rest of the song in an air-guitar fashion whilst making orgasm faces. We cut back and forth from this to Rob Halfords car, in which he is still singing, though now standing up, with the rest of Judas Priest crammed somewhat uncomfortably in the back seat with him.

Motorhead – Killed by Death
Scene: The early 1980's. A YOUNG WOMAN is having an argument with her PARENTS, who do not wish her to go out the house wearing very little except skin-tight leopard print leggings and hairspray. Any possible protestations from the girl are answered by a confirmation of the parents worst fears, as LEMMY KILMISTER rides through the wall on a motorcycle, invites their daughter to sit upon the back of it, then gives the camera the finger and departs through the opposite wall, to the parents general astonishment. We see the other members of MOTORHEAD following Lemmy around in a beach buggy, presumably providing musical backing as he roars down a highway at night with the young woman clinging to his back, singing. Lemmy's raucous rock and roll stylings are obviously not appreciated by the local authorties, as after a while a police car pulls in close behind Lemmy and a POLICEMAN leans out the window and begins firing a pump-action shotgun at our hero, to little apparent effect.
We cut to another scene. Motorhead and various SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN are sauntering through an alleyway, where they are accosted by approximately thirty heavily armed policemen in riot armour, who assume two ranks and riddle Lemmy with shotgun rounds, before flinging his body in the back of a lorry and driving off. The bullets were apparently rubber as Lemmy survives unscathed, only to undergo execution by electric chair. We cut to a funeral, presumably Lemmy's. There is a heavy police presence, which proves to be entirely justified as, after a short period of ghostly muttering, Lemmy rides straight out of his own grave on a motorcycle, apparently contradicting the claim in the lyrics that the only time Lemmy will be easy is when he is killed by death. Having resurrected himself, he picks up the young woman again, and sets off, with the rest of Motorhead pursuing in their beach buggy.

New Grenada's main point of demarcation from the average slacker rock band is a sort of toothless mean-spiritedness that pervades the appropriately titled Parting Shots. "Into the Ground" makes fun of an unnamed band for being lame and having stupid fans, but it does so with such a mild temperament that even if you're a member of the band in question, their insults would be easily counterbalanced by the knowledge that they went to the trouble of writing a song about you. Occasional attempts at genuine emotion -- such as "Just Inside a Week"'s disaffected, almost somber vocals and matching melodies -- come off as sarcastic or contrived in this snarky but harmless context.
There are brief and tantalizing glimmers of something more -- playful synth burbles, vocalist John Nelson's attempts to hit the notes the song calls for, and guitar melodies that require actual memorization. These things surface briefly but regularly throughout Parting Shots, clearly demonstrating that New Grenada could be a lot more interesting if they were willing to roll up their sleeves and dig in.

Fall 2014 Information SessionUAB's award winning Mock Trial Team will be holding an Information Session on Wednesday 27, 2014, at 7:30PM in the Burr Forman Mock Trial Courtroom (UBOB 226). The team will briefly introduce you to mock trial, show you a clip from a national championship round, and try their best to answer your questions. We welcome anyone and everyone who may be interested in the team. We would estimate that the information session will last about a half an hour, but it could go longer depending on how many questions are asked. Oh yeah... and there will be free pizza.
For over a decade, UAB's mock trial program has consistently trained students to become excellent advocates. But while participation in the UAB mock trial program does better prepare these students for what will be expected of them in a legal career, students who participate on the mock trial team are given the opportunity to develop abilities that will serve them well in anycareer.
By analyzing, preparing, and presenting a legal case, mock trial team members improve their public speaking and problem solving skills, which are valuable in any profession. And by participating in this process, students considering a legal career gain valuable insight into what actually practicing law entails.
You'll find links on this website to help you begin learning more about mock trial, joining UAB's team, and UAB's pre-law program. But if you have any questions, you may always reach one of us from the contacts page. We encourage you to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity, and we hope to hear from you soon!
Mock Trial Team to Hold Information Session on August 28 at 7:30PMUAB's award winning mock trial team will hold an information session at 7:30PM on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 in the Burr Forman Mock Trial Courtroom (UBOB226). This event will include a presentation, a Q&A session, and free pizza. Students interested in the team will receive brief overview of mock trial, UAB's team, and how to join. After Coaches Nathan Mays and Joseph Dease give a prsentation, the floor will be opened for questions. The team captain and returning members of the mock trial team will also be on hand to answer questions from a student's perspective.
The 2013-2014 UAB Mock Trial TeamTryouts have been held, and the mock trial season is officially in full swing for the new UAB Mock Trial Team, pictured to the right. The coaches were very impressed with the talent and enthusiasm of the new students, and the team is excited for the upcoming year!
The team will kick off their season on October the 19th when they attend an invitational competition in Atlanta, Georgia hosted by the University of Georgia. Teams will be there from all over the southeast.
Support Mock Trial and the Department of Justice SciencesThe Department of Justice Sciences appreciates your willingness to extend financial support for its programs. While the department receives some support from the College of Arts and Sciences and the University, our needs typically exceed the amount of support we receive. As a result, we always welcome financial contributions designated specifically for the Mock Trial Team or the Department of Justice Sciences.

Name returned to unidentified NYC baby
On Wednesday, May 7 we honored law enforcement from across the U.S. for their work to protect children. Check out all the case summaries on our blog.
An unidentified Hispanic female was found on July 23, 1991 along New York City's Henry Hudson Parkway wrapped in plastic garbage bags and stuffed inside a cooler. She was estimated to be between 3-5 years old. Cause of death was ruled asphyxiation from smothering. Authorities named the child Baby Hope.
In the summer of 2005 the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner was asked to have the body of Baby Hope exhumed. Extracting usable DNA from the degraded remains of Baby Hope proved to be a daunting task. A full DNA profile was not completed and uploaded into CODIS until 2012.
In the summer of 2013, Detective Robert Dewhurst, NYPD Cold Case detective, revived the investigation and put the case back in the media spotlight. It was through his unrelenting push for publicity that he received the lead that led to Baby Hope's identification. A caller reported that they knew the sister to Baby Hope. Authorities followed up on the lead and were finally able to identify the child as Anjelica Castillo.
Anjelica was 4 years old in 1991. She was never reported missing and therefore never entered into NCIC or listed with NCMEC. The investigation led to the arrest of Anjelica's cousin, Conrado Juarez, on Oct. 12, 2013. He also implicated his sister, Balvena Juarez Ramirez, who allegedly helped dispose of the child's body. Balvena is now deceased. Conrado was charged with felony murder.
Congratulate the New York Police Department.

Here's a website I get a monthly updates on and bunches of ideas and info. Can't figure out how to navigate on the site so I don't post there but the gardening info is valuable.
Plants Database (All Things Plants)
Great for those preppers out there and those that like to eat stuff out of their yard. It's a feel good thing to me to put a few seeds in the ground and then get yummy food/herbs a few months later. Saves money too.
Best fertilizer I have found is if you bury fish heads/parts near your plants they love it! You can buy liquid fish guts (seriously) from home and garden stores if you don't live where you have access to fish.
Only negative about the fish parts, it will draw cats to your garden.

Did you ever seek relief from the heat of a midsummer sun by going to the beach or shore of some large body of water? If you have, you no doubt enjoyed the cool breezes that swept in from the water during the middle of the day when such cool winds are most welcome. You weren't much interested in the reason for these cool breezes as long as they continued to bring relief from the heat, but the same sun whose warmth the wind tempered was itself responsible for the breezes that worked to your advantage. Here is the "why" of the natural mechanics of this feature. Air is heated by radiation from land or reflection from water, and moves from place to place in accord with its attempt to adjust the various differences in temperature brought about by unequal heating -- and so we have wind. Water absorbs heat slowly and is equally reluctant to release it. Land heats quickly and as rapidly cools when the source of heat is removed. For that reason, the land bordering large bodies of water is warmed quickly by the sun while the lake or sea increases in temperature relatively slowly. Consequently the air above the land becomes uncomfortably warm in contrast to the cooler air above the water. The warm air over the land rises and the cool air over the water sweeps in to replace it. The result is a breeze blowing landward as long as the air above the earth is warmed and rising. At night the opposite may be true. The land cools more rapidly than the water. The air above the land becomes cooler than that over the sea and moves out over the water producing a breeze taking the opposite direction from that blowing during the daytime.
Thus the different effect of the sun's energy upon land, and water, and air accounts for many things that are well known to us. Areas far removed from large bodies of water and their modifying effect upon temperature have greater climatic extremes. The land heats up excessively during the day and cools rapidly at night. The effect of large bodies of water upon climate is profound, for the coldest regions of the world are not along the coast near either of the poles but inland where the moderating influence of the sea cannot be felt.
But our weather is dependent upon still another factor - the ability of the air to absorb, hold, and transport moisture. If the atmosphere were not so constituted, much of the land-mass of our earth would be destitute of life, for without water plants and animals cannot live. The great bodies of water would lie dormant, their moisture unavailable because of lack of means of transporting it to dry localities. A trip through an arid region where irrigation has partially overcome the natural shortage of water will effectively point out the dependence of living things upon moisture. In the case of our weather, we have the oceans and similar bodies of water as "reservoirs"; the prevailing winds are the medium by which this moisture is transported; and the "valves" or "floodgates" by which the flow of moisture is regulated are the temperature differences of the atmosphere as it ascends, descends, and moves about from place to place.
The ability of the atmosphere to do these things accounts for rain, fog, snow, frost, dew, clouds, and many other phenomena. Many times, no doubt, you have made the characteristic remark, "It's not the heat - it's the humidity". What you really mean is that the air about you is carrying a heavy charge of water vapor, and can absorb so little that the natural process of body perspiration - which is Nature's cooling system for the human body - is hindered. The air feels thick, sticky, or "muggy", and you are uncomfortable. In addition to the absorption of moisture from bodies of water, the air picks it up from land, and plants, and animals as well. Air that contains very little water as it sweeps over the earth seeks moisture from the area over which it passes, drying the soil and the living things thereon. Desert plants are constructed to resist dehydration, and thus are able to survive under such conditions. It is because of these facts that we have our deserts and our "great plains", almost entirely devoid of trees. The prevailing winds that sweep eastward we find dry regions for the winds, sweeping inland, are "bled" of their moisture in passing over the mountains. Thus, east of the Cascades and the Sierra Nevadas arid or semi-arid conditions prevail.
So the weather, although it is often exasperating, is responsible for many of our blessings. More about this in the next issue of NATURE NOTES. (C.F.B.)

Another 'Blurred Lines' Parody – This One With Dogs (Watch)
*Robin Thicke's summer anthem "Blurred Lines" has officially gone to the dogs.
Following parody videos featuring Bill Clinton and one with the genders reversed comes "Furred Lines," from The Pet Collective.
Lyrics such as "You're a good girl" gain an entirely new meaning. Other furred lines: "Give you a treat if you're a good girl/Stay if you want it/Sit if you want it/Beg if you want it."

There are times in the world of sports that no matter how hard you try the result is not always successful.
On the morning of Oct. 18 at the Mitchell Field Athletic complex, the 10-year-old Crusaders experienced one of those times as they took on the undefeated Uniondale Knights in the rain, wind and biting cold.
The weather conditions created numerous fumbles for both teams but Uniondale did a better job capitalizing on them, scoring three times in the first half. Throughout the game, the Crusaders offensive line took a pounding. Even so, Hicksville was able to put a series of drives together. When it came to crossing the goal line, they were stopped short each time.
The 10-year-old East Rockaway Raiders ran into a buzz saw at John Walker Field Oct. 10 when they arrived to take on the Hicksville Crusaders. After suffering a bitter defeat at the hands of the Bellmore Braves last week, the Crusaders were more than ready to exact revenge on the Raiders.
Throughout November, Martial Arts America in Hicksville will take part in a national project called the "Thanksgiving Basket Brigade." The mission is to make and deliver 100 Thanksgiving dinner baskets to local families who would otherwise do without. Each basket will contain a turkey, rolls, gravy, corn, beans, cranberry sauce, potatoes, pies, juice and much more.
The 11-year-old Hicksville Crusaders traveled to Bellmore last week to take on the Braves.
Every once in a while, two football teams will meet that are extremely well matched.
This was the case last Saturday night in Bellmore when the Braves hosted the 10-year-old Hicksville Crusaders. From the beginning of the game, it was obvious that this was to be a titanic defensive struggle of epic proportions.
The 11-year-old Hicksville Crusaders opened their season against the Bellmore Braves. Hicksville won the coin toss and after receiving the kickoff the offense took the field with the end zone being the focus; it didn't take long for Luke Walker to score the Crusaders' first touchdown of the season.
Last week's practice proved to be very interesting for the 10-year-old Hicksville Crusaders because they had to prepare for a team that they have never seen before and knew very little about. Not knowing whether the Syosset Braves used primarily a running game or a passing game made it challenging for Hicksville's defense and meant the offense had to be prepared for a number of different defenses.
The 10-year-old Hicksville Crusaders learned a great lesson the morning of Sept. 20: all of the hard work that they have put in over the past month has paid off.
With temperatures in the mid-70s and a sea of orange and black circling John Walker Field, the Elmont Cardinals arrived to battle the Hicksville Crusaders.
On Sept. 20, Hicksville's offensive line controlled the game as the 8-year-old Crusaders defeated the Baldwin Bombers at Coes Neck Park by a score of 19-0.
The 8-year-old Hicksville Crusaders opened their season the evening of Sept. 12 with a 13-6 win over the Floral Park Titans.

What Jane is planning to do isn't funny at all…
…but it is brilliant.
It is the opposite of what we see in a lot of media. Quite a lot of of media that has female protagonists and male antagonists has scenes like this, where the bad guys tells the girl that she'll be his for the rest of his life and her job is only to reproduce. It's in a whole lot of action and adventure movies too, something that Jake likes. (Well he really likes all movies but they fall under that) This is just something that is not seen regularly unless it's your helpless damsel in distress and big strong villain dude.
I think that this is a brilliant thing done by Hussie right here, no matter how disturbing it is to think about that Jane plans to have Jake be her sex slave. Excellent job, Hussie, for reversing the roles.
The complete and utter lack of update things on my dashboard makes me uncomfortable.
i knew you were trouble when you walked in
and now i'm lyin' on the cold hard ground

Technology News
Assistant system checks driver's health condition - during the ride
The system has been developed in cooperation with carmaker BMW. Integrated into the steering wheel, the device measures vital parameters such as heart beat frequency, skin resistance and blood oxygen saturation.
According to Professor Tim C. Lueth of the Munich Technical University's chair for micro technology and medical devices technology, there have been developed a number of systems serving to measure vital parameters during the ride in the context of stress tests. None of these systems however would be suitable for automotive volume production. By integrating their sensors into the steering wheel, the researchers could make a complex wiring of the driver unnecessary. The measurement data are radioed to a microcontroller that displays the results in the center stack screen of the vehicle.
The goal of the project goes beyond data acquisition and detecting of isolated dysfunctions. "Our vision is that the vehicle notices if the driver does not feel well and automatically takes appropriate measures," Lueth said. "For instance, if the skin resistance indicates a stress situation, incoming calls can be blocked and the volume of the radio can be reduced. In the case of more severe situations, the system can switch on the hazard warning lights and reduce the speed - if necessary it can perform automatically an emergency braking".
The main building blocks of the system are two commercially available sensors. One transmits infrared light into the finger; the reflected light is used to determine the heart beat frequency and the oxygen saturation in the blood. The second one measures the electric resistance of the skin. The scientists also developed a microprocessor program that processes the data and communicates them to the head unit.
The research was part of the Fit4Age project which aims at developing assistance systems for an ageing society.

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. I really appreciate it! Have a listen to my extra funky birthday song if you have a chance.
Don't U Funk With Me
I'm getting to the end of posting all of the songs off of my 'Risky Biscuits' album from 2001 (it only took me four months to post them all). This is a fun rap song I did with two of my all time favorite colleagues. Once known as the Tragic Click, Blood (Kenya Bloodsaw) and Coda Baerfider (Rico Davenport) were an incredible creative force in the early 2000's Athens, Georgia music scene. Rico brought me a very long crazy beat one day and I whittled it down to make this song adding some piano, stand up bass and Mike Elam's great muted trumpet.
We had a great time making this song in the studio and it shows. It is still consistently one of my top downloaded songs on Rhapsody and other online music sources. Thanks for listening! #rapmusic #funnyrapsongs #georgiamusic
First Funk Baptist
Yet another intermittent song post from my 'Risky Biscuits' album. We are finally getting near the end. This little diddy is a comedy song featuring the ultra talented Coda Baerfider spouting tongue in cheek spiritual wisdom (in prompt-tu) with the brilliant sax work of Gary Hartle in the background. We recorded the sax in the bath tub!
A New Sport for Prime Time
The next song off of 'Risky Biscuits' used to be our most popular live song in the Athens era Parakeet Nelson heyday. It's also my Dad's favorite song by that band! This was recorded live and features incredible solos by John Wayne Tuggle, Gary Hartle, Mike Elam, me (harmonica) and John Kell. Thanks for listening!
I Can't Summarize Your Sunny Skies
After not posting for about two months I'm finally getting back to posting the next song from my 'Risky Biscuits' album. This was recorded on my 1/2 inch eight track tape machine and features Mike Elam's brilliant flugelhorn. It also features Jeramy Lamanno on drums, Dwayne Wallace on bass and John Wayne Tuggle on slide guitar. Thanks for listening!
Click album cover to listen to entire album.
I Need Children to Feed to My Alien
Still posting from my Risky Biscuits album. This one is crazy, funny and awesome. Mainly because of the incredible band I assembled to play it live in the studio. It's the same line up as "U Don't Believe My Traction" except with Jesse Cole on bass and Daniel Marler on guitar lead #2. All of the solos on this are incredible. We stretched it out to over 10 minutes letting everyone shine as bright and long as they wanted. Daniel's guitar solo is especially great on this one.
The lyrics are quite funny and were inspired by making fun of the X-Files one morning in bed.
U Don't Believe My Traction
Back to posting 'Risky Biscuits' songs. This one is a super jammer. A little bit reggae a lot rock. We recorded this live with an eight piece band in Wes McDonald's studio (a fine musician and artist himself look him up https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/wes-mcdonald/id6432590).
Anyway, this song is a declaration of love with a little innuendo and a great great band!! John Kell, Chris Costigan and Gary Hartle's saxes are on fire on this one and John Wayne Tuggle plays a tasty guitar solo. I had a broken hand and a ruptured radial nerve but I still managed to hold down the rhythm guitar. Incredible drummer Seth Hendershot and legendary bassist AJ Adams round it out! Thanks for listening!
Super Bowl Sunday Song
It's that time of year again for my Super Bowl Sunday Song to rear it's sticky, cheesy, yummy head. Maybe you can get some recipe ideas from it!
Snowy Mix of Memories
A fitting song being that the song is about being the last day of January and how the snow is rolling out with the memories. Have a great weekend.
Walking Around the City
Here's another 'snow' based song. This is a top three favorite of all my songs. It's about walking around the city at night while it is silent from the snow.

A church is not a charity and should not receive tax breaks accordingly. As a person I wouldn't get away with declaring myself as a charity - so why should it?
For the small portion that goes to charitable works we should all get charitable tax breaks - gift aid or the like.
A church runs a club for its members who make donations, to support the church building, the religious authority and the wider organisation behind it.
For the small part of donations that does indeed go on charitable works then by all means lets give that charitable status - but the vast majority supports a church building, a home for the vicar, a village hall, a bit of a bishop, a bit of a cathedral, how is this charitable!
Its like the big firms who use the tax rules to minimise what they pay in taxes using every dodge they can.
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." Mark Twain
According to its financial records, the Church of England receives £1000 millions per year - and yet spends all but £50 millions internally on buildings and staff.
£50 million is given to charities.
Many church goers do charitable work providing many hours of their time to charitable works. This isn't paid work for the church.
Of the £1000 million over £120 million maintains church buildings, £500 million in wages for clergy and their pensions, £200 million in church building running costs and general expenses.
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." Mark Twain
If religious people had any good in them said religions wouldnt perpetuate the predjudice they do because there followers would stand up en masse and put such predjudice down where it belongs......this doesnt happen, knowing theres an issue and doing nothing about it is the same as causing the issue yourself.
good christian? as I said before to truley be a `good` christian you wouldnt be a christian! lol
I suspect they are tax exempt as they always have been. It would be a brave government to remove it and it would be the last thing they'd do. The papers would be full of examples of organisations that do great work that would have to close. Think if something as seemingly innocuous as a tax on hot pasties became a huge political issue, imagine if all religious organisations in the UK had to start pay tax overnight!

Ultimate x64
Missing files/folders on NAS attached exHDD.
Hi guys,
As the title says, I am unable to view several folders stored on NAS attached HDD's ( usb1, usb2) from my Win 7 Ultimate , Samsung S3511 laptop.
This problem has been going on for a while and seems very random. Immediately after boot I can see everything that is there, then a while later it loses sight of some of them and even files within the remaining folders are not there.
For example, on usb2 I have Movies & Music, (and also some movie files that are refusing to move into Movies, just hangs on Discovering Items forever, not sure if that could be linked?)
After a while I can only see Music and the extra movie files, and within music there's only around 12-18 folders where there should be hundreds. Usb1 has Tv & Movies, but I can only see Tv which has a greyed out 'X' on it.
2 other Win 7 desktops can see everything perfectly, and I can view everything through a kindle and 2 android phones so the problem is only with the lappy.
Tried a few things to fix it, been through related services which were disabled ,strangely , and that seemed to help but only for a short while after boot. Restarting the NAS does nothing to help.
I should also say that this install is a re-install so I did have problems ages ago with permissions, could this be a cause maybe? NAS is a Synology Diskstation with 2 generic HDDs.
Many thanks in advance for any help folks!

The largest and the most southern of the Greek Islands, holidays in Crete are hugely popular with tourists. It's not only the fantastic weather and the beautiful scenery, and buzzing beach resorts there's something to keep every type of holidaymaker returning to this magical island.
Crete is a big island with a personality to match and a lot to offer its visitors. Blessed with a wealth of fabulous beaches, holidays here aren't just about sun, sea and sand: Crete's landscapes range from fertile, lush vistas covered in olive groves to craggy mountains broken up by hidden, narrow gorges to golden sandy beaches and sparkling seas. The ecosystem isn't the only eclectic part of this island: the range of activities, sights and experiences on offer is just as diverse and enough to keep even the most active of travellers happy.
If you want to be left breathless by more than just the scenery, Crete has plenty to offer. Combining the two, Samaria Gorge is a particularly popular spot with tourists and hiking through the gorge is not for the faint of heart. Leading from the steps of Xyloskalo out to Agia Roumeli, the trek takes roughly five hours to complete, but the work is worth it. The Gorge is a designated National Park and a Biosphere Reserve, so expect to see beauty wherever you look. Buses run to the gorge frequently from popular resort Chania, but if you're more at home in the water than hiking through hills, hop a boat from the coast, enjoy diving and snorkelling in Crete's translucent waters and make friends with its varied marine life.
If all of that excitement isn't enough for you, a night out in Malia is sure to set your heart racing. In this town, life is a non-stop party and you can expect to see it awash with the young and beautiful of the world dancing their cares away. You'd think bars and clubs would rule the roost here, but restaurants take that crown – there are over 80 of them in Malia alone, offering every kind of dish imaginable, from Indian, to American fast-food and more local flavours. Sip cocktails while tossing back some souvlaki ahead of a night out for the true Malia experience.
The music in Malia is fast, loud and often imported from the charts, and if you're looking for something a little more traditional, Crete's many tavernas are the place to go. The home of the Lyra, Crete folk music remains popular with locals: so much so that they host a festival devoted to it – the Yakinthia Festival held in Anogia in July each year.
As it's a large island, Crete's climate varies the further inland you go and the south coast is generally warmer and drier than the north. You can expect temperatures in the midst of summer to range between 30 to 35 degrees Celsius, with bathwater-warm water temperatures of up to 27 degrees C on a good day.

Incidence and Pathogenesis of Tumor Lysis SyndromeLocatelli F. · Rossi F.
aOncoematologia Pediatrica, IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, Pavia, bClinica Pediatrica, Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli, Napoli, Italy
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a constellation of metabolic disturbances that may be observed in patients with malignancies. Clinically significant TLS can occur spontaneously, but most often is seen 48-72 h after initiation of cancer treatment. The metabolic abnormalities observed in patients with TLS include hyperkalemia, hyperuricemia, and hyperphosphatemia, which leads to secondary hypocalcemia. The precise incidence of TLS is not defined, risk factors being represented by large tumor burden, neoplasms with either high growth fraction or high sensitivity to chemotherapy, and by pre-existing impairment of renal function. Neither racial, nor sex predilection exists. The pathogenesis of TLS is related to the rapid tumor cell turnover or destruction, which may result in release of intracellular ions and metabolic byproducts into the systemic circulation. Acute renal failure (ARF) may frequently complicate TLS and is mainly due to renal tubule precipitation of uric acid, calcium phosphate, or hypoxanthine. Hemodynamic changes reducing glomerular flow due to stillundefined mediators are also involved in TLS pathophysiology. Pre-existing volume depletion or renal dysfunction may worsen metabolic derangements and ARF. A good comprehension of TLS pathophysiology has provided the basis for an effective and rational treatment of this complication, adversely affecting the outcome of cancer patients.

Sandra Fluke's Speech Made Republicans Crazy. Which Is Just What the Democrats Want [Slate]
These are some conservatives' tweets in response to Sandra Fluke's speech at the Democratic National Convention alongside the first comment I came across on the Slate.com article
Like I said… keep talking.
Conservatives Bash Sandra Fluke's Convention Speech, Parroting Limbaugh's Sexist Attacks
Despite the widespread outcry against Rush Limbaugh's and Bill O'Reilly's sexist smears against Sandra Fluke earlier this year — when they claimed she was a "slut" who wants the government to pay for her "social life" — other far-right commentators haven't quite grasped why these types of attacks are offensive. After Fluke took to the stage of the Democratic National Convention last night to articulate the issues at stake in the ongoing War on Women, conservative media took to Twitter to bash her for "whining" about needing free birth control for the activities that go on in her "bedroom".
All I can say is, keep talking shitheads.
Look at how ANGRY these people are that a woman tried to talk in a place she was shut out from talking in. Jfc.
Yeah, keep talking. You do yourself no favors.
I don't know if this is a win or a fail, America. I imagine Honey Boo Boo would have been better than a slightly doddering Clint Eastwood yelling at an empty chair.
Can we just call it a draw?
— Meg
And this happened.
(via gov)
Voter ID fraud is totally not a real thing. Click here to learn more.
Look, there are things out there. And this COULD BE one of them.
How could any politician with any modicum of sagacity—let alone someone who's one election away from the Oval Office—venture abroad and question whether his host country was "ready" for the Olympics? Romney came across as simultaneously a know-nothing and a smug know-it-all—at least about the Olympic Games, which he seems to think he owns and which he has regularly treated like one of those enterprises taken over by Bain ever since he took over the 2002 Winter Games.
He also seemed not to know the name of Labour Party leader Ed Miliband, who could be prime minister relatively soon into the next presidential term. At the press conference when the two men met, Romney referred to Miliband as "Mr. Leader"—a title that doesn't exist in Britain but a convenient refuge if you can't remember who it is you're standing next to. The GOP hopeful also didn't know that he wasn't supposed to volunteer—no one is—that he had just been briefed by the chief of MI6, Britain's secret intelligence service. Such a thing, as they say in London, just isn't done.
For his Olympic-level faux pas, his fellow conservatives across the pond peeped rebuke and ridicule on Romney. The current Prime Minister, David Cameron, archly observed that there was a difference between holding the Games in one of the world's "busiest, most active, bustling cities and the easier" job of holding them out "in the middle of nowhere"—a pointed put-down of Mitt's role in Salt Lake City a decade of winters ago. London Mayor Boris Johnson poked fun at a "guy named Mitt who wants to know whether we're ready" and ignited a crowd of 60,00 in Hyde Park to chant: "Yes, we are"—for Romney, a discomforting echo of the 2008 Obama mantra.
While Rupert Murdoch's Sun memorably labeled Romney "Mitt the Twit," it wasn't just the British press and politicians who scorned his bumbling performance. Karl Rove, who's assembling hundreds of millions of dollars to elect him president—and who perhaps should go from being "Bush's brain" to being Romney's—ruefully said "you have to shake your head" about the way the candidate just stepped into it. The conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer was blunter: The episode was "unbelievable…beyond human understanding…It's like a guy in the hundred meter dash. All he has to do is finish, he doesn't have to win. And instead he tackles the guy in the next lane and gets disqualified."
Disqualified is the right word because Romney went overseas precisely to show he was qualified to be president. Seldom if ever has any such an effort made someone look so foolish so fast, with so much blowback coming from across the political spectrum.
The laser-like Republican focus on jobs continues:Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is floating legislation that would name most U.S. coastal waters after former President Ronald Reagan.
Issa reintroduced his bill Wednesday to rename the country's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which generally extends from three miles to 200 miles offshore, as the Ronald Wilson Reagan Exclusive Economic Zone.
To be fair, we're not talking about renaming all the oceans after Ronald Reagan. Just any parts of them within 200 miles of America, in honor of the guy who first said "yeah, all that over there? That's ours."
While creating at least several jobs in the lucrative map-printing sector of the economy, this otherwise seems a rather pointless little exercise. For one thing, I thought true conservatives hated Ronald Reagan now, but it turns out that while they now hate most of what he said and did, they still like putting his name on things.
Reagan was a godawful President.
h/t: Hunter at Daily Kos
Republicans are beyond useless. They lie about wanting to help the economy, when all they want to do is defund Planned Parenthood, NPR, PBS, AmeriCorps, and name things after Ronald Reagan.
If they were proposing ideas to help the economy, and their ideas were bad, then at least the ideas could be improved upon. But they have no intention of doing ANYTHING to improve our country.
Recall All Republicans 2012.
America: But what about jobs?
Republicans: LOL NOPE
Rebloggable by request:
I'm visiting my dad and he's insisting Obama starting the federal funding of Planned Parenthood. Help!
Meg at Cognitive Dissonance:
Nope. Thank this guy:
That would be Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States. Planned Parenthood's federal funding was started by Nixon under Title X. Here's his statement on it:
"I called for a national commitment to provide adequate family planning services within the next 5 years to all those who want them but cannot afford them. It was clear that the domestic family planning services supported by the Federal Government were not adequate to provide information and services to all who want them on a voluntary basis.
To implement this national commitment, I asked for expanded research in contraceptive development and the behavioral sciences, reorganization of family planning service activities within the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and legislation which would help the Department to implement this important program by providing broader and more precise legislative authority and a clearer source of financial support. The National Center for Family Planning Services was established in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare shortly after my message.
The bill before me today, the "Family Planning Services and Population Research Act of 1970," completes the legislation I requested in my message on population. This measure provides for expanded research, training of manpower, and increased family planning services. In addition, it provides for the development of family planning and population growth information and education.
It is noteworthy that this landmark legislation on family planning and population has had strong bipartisan support."
See, back in the day, the Republican Party was much less against contraception and family planning than they are now. Let me repeat that: Republicans in 1970 were more supportive of welfare, contraception, and access to both than they are now. Tell your dad "citation needed, bro."
Bonus points! Here's why public funding of contraception is important from the nonpartisan Guttmacher Institute:
• Publicly funded family planning services help women to avoid pregnancies they do not want and to plan pregnancies they do. In 2006, these services helped women avoid 1.94 million unintended pregnancies, which would likely have resulted in about 860,000 unintended births and 810,000 abortions.
• Contraceptive services provided at publicly funded clinics helped prevent 1.48 million of these unintended pregnancies; the remaining 450,000 unintended pregnancies were prevented among Medicaid enrollees who received publicly funded contraceptive services from private physicians.
• Without publicly funded family planning services, the number of unintended pregnancies and abortions occurring in the United States would be nearly two-thirds higher among women overall and among teens; the number of unintended pregnancies among poor women would nearly double.
• Contraceptive services provided at Title X-supported centers helped prevent 973,000 unintended pregnancies in 2008, which would likely have resulted in 432,600 unintended births and 406,200 abortions.
• The services provided at publicly funded clinics saved the federal and state governments an estimated $5.1 billion in 2008; services provided at Title X–supported clinics accounted for $3.4 billion of that total.
• In other words, nationally, every $1.00 invested in helping women avoid pregnancies they did not want to have saved $3.74 in Medicaid expenditures that otherwise would have been needed.
Tell your dad to email me. He sounds interesting.
I think this is a land of opportunity for every single person, every single citizen of this great nation. I want to make sure we keep America a place of opportunity, where everyone has a fair shot, they get as much education as they can afford, with their time they're able to get it, and if they have a willingness to work hard and the right values, they ought to have a shot at realizing their dreams.
Mitt Romney claiming Americans should be able to achieve their dreams, just as long as they have the "right values" and the ability to afford it.
Yes, Mitt. Do tell us what "right values" you mean.
In other news, Congress passed a bill to keep student loan rates from doubling, plus an oft-spiked transportation bill that will keep millions working, and which did not include the Keystone XL Pipeline because Republicans removed it, and also renewed federal flood insurance. Essentially, for a day, the U.S. Congress worked.
And my twitter feed blew up because Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting divorced and Instagram was broken.
Pay attention, folks. Or else we'll wind up with Mittens.
Republicans approve of the American farmer — but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home — but not for housing. They are strong for labor — but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage — the smaller the minimum wage, the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all — but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine — for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing — but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think American standard of living is a fine thing — so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire the Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it.
[Obama is] just very, very scary. Now, I know there's a lot of people that are very skeptical as to whether he was born in Hawaii. Personally I believe that he was. I actually believe he was fibbing about being born in Kenya when he was trying to get into college and doing things like writing a book and on and on and on.
So if there was weird stuff going on, I actually think it was happening back in his college days because I think he has spent $1.5 or $2 million through attorneys to have all the college records and all that stuff sealed. If you're spending money to seal something, that's probably where the hanky panky was going on.
Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett proving he's an even bigger jackass than I thought. When asked about his comments later, Bennett replied, "I have no personal knowledge about what happened." But he'll sure pretend he does!
I had emailed Bennett previously about the whole "I'm not a birther, I just play one on TV" thing. He never responded. Total shock, I know. I had to email him again about this egregiously racist claim.
And yes, I call it racist because this is the second time he's attempted to tie Barack Obama to being Kenyan (or pretending to be Kenyan) in some way — supposedly in the name of vetting him — yet Mittbot™ escapes the same scrutiny. Remember when George W. Bush used to crack jokes about being a C student at Yale? Imagine Barack Obama doing that.
Go on. Imagine it.
It drives these people up the wall that Barack Obama, a charismatic black man, not only succeeded at an Ivy League University, but went on to have a successful career as a professor and became president. Not to mention he wouldn't have to spend money to have college records sealed because of privacy law.
In other words, clutch the pearls and pray to all the angels and baby Jesus, because there's an intruding BLACK man in our WHITE House. </sarcasm>
The cherry on top of this racist sundae is Bennett has formed an exploratory committee to run for governor in 2014. It's never too late to start pandering to your base.
Anyhow, here's my email to Ken Bennett. If you'd like to email him too, his email is email@example.com
[Image Text:
Dear Mr. Bennett,
I previously wrote you regarding your dabbling in birtherism. To refresh your memory, please view the email here: http://cognitivedissonance.tumblr.com/post/23321374521/my-email-to-ariz-secretary-of-state-ken-bennett
I was thrilled to see you finally back off the pursuit of Barack Obama's birth certificate after Hawaii satisfied your desires. However, I do believe you should investigate whether or not Mitt Romney is a robot. This is a very real possibility. View the evidence here, here, and here. I have just as much evidence that Romney is a robot as Sheriff Joe Arpaio has that Obama was born in Kenya. But no matter…
I am writing regarding your recent comments about Obama lying about being born in Kenya in order to get into college. You said:
[Obama is] just very, very scary. Now, I know there's a lot of people that are very skeptical as to whether he was born in Hawaii. Personally I believe that he was. I actually believe he was fibbing about being born in Kenya when he was trying to get into college and doing things like writing a book and on and on and on.
First off, citation needed. Second, I heard a rumor you lied about being a gay Chinese Buddhist from Lincoln, Neb. in order to get into Arizona State University. In reality, you're a straight white Mormon from Tucson, Ariz. BORING. No wonder you lied.
Please refute these allegations, or else I will assume they are true. After all, I have as much evidence as Arpaio regarding Obama's birthplace, and just as much evidence about your college attendance as you do about Obama's. Also, would your office please call for Romney to refute the allegation that he lied about being a human being to get into Harvard.
Just awesomeness from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in response to whether or not Democrats in the U.S. Senate will force another vote on the DREAM Act to make Republicans "go on the record" about immigration. Here's why it's a clown question: The GOP has filibustered it twice already.
I think they're on the record regarding immigration and the DREAM Act.
From Washington Whispers:
Mitt Romney has been increasingly keen to court the Latino vote, which is believed to heavily favor President Obama over the former Massachusetts governor for president. In the latest Latino Decisions poll, Obama held a 43-point lead over Romney.
But the Republican National Committee's Hispanic site may not be doing Romney any favors.
RNCLatinos.com features as its main image a stock photo from Shutterstock, which tags the photo with keywords that clearly suggest the kids are Asian, including: "asia," "asian," "interracial," "japanese," and "thailand."
Go home, Sharron Angle. You can't make Hispanic kids Asian, even if you really, really want to.
No, Mitt, corporations are not people. People love, laugh, they have children, families, they breathe, they live, they get sick, they die… People are people, Mitt. Learn the difference.
At least 27 Republican candidates promoted by the National Republican Congressional Committee have refused to sign the anti-tax pledge circulated by Americans for Tax Reform and its President, Grover Norquist, according to the Washington Post.
Well, I guess Grover doesn't have all the power. So that's a plus, I suppose.
Props to those who refuse to sign, though. Hopefully this becomes a trend.

I haven't made it yet but I think when I do I might put in some jalapeno or the green chili in the can. This sounds yum
Not a lot of flavor. The cheeses cubes didn't melt, would probably use shredded next time. Also, maybe add a little dill or onion powder.
This was easy and fun to make. I substituted the sour cream with ranch dressing. Next time instead of cayenne pepper, I will use a few slice jalapeños. Great recipe!!!!! Thanks for sharing. :)

Can we go car-light?
While I wholeheartedly support people living a car-free existence if they want to, I know that for many of us (most of us?) that's just not going to be a reality. So in my conversations with folks I don't ask them to live car-free, but I do suggest, however, that they try "car-light."
Go ahead and keep your car for long trips, hauling big loads, making out in the backseat, whatever. But in the US, 40% of car trips are for 2 miles or less. Surely this is a bikeable distance for the vast majority of folks.
So here's my proposition: keep your car, but make a commitment to bicycling (or walking) to any destination that is within 2 miles of your home. This isn't daunting or intimidating and is absolutely achievable.
Get a rack for your bike, a good lock, some panniers, and give it a go! I've always found the secret to be having your bike ready to go just as your car is. If a person has to put air in the tires, find the lock, and figure out what they're going to wear, then the odds are that they're going to do the simple thing and just get in the car and drive. So keep the bike ready and, as the song says, just get on your bike and ride. Whatever you're wearing is fine. You don't have to dress like you're in the Tour de France. (If you're a nudist, though, then you probably want to throw on something! Bicyclists are pretty much a live-and-let-live kind of bunch, but you know how those motorists are. ;) )
Once you're riding all the short trips, this will most likely lead to going other places and longer distances by bike. Who knows what great adventures lie in store?!
And besides getting healthier, you'll be doing the environment a big favor. It takes time for a car's catalytic converter to heat up and start working efficiently. Because of this, the most polluting trips per mile, are short trips and these are exactly the trips that you'll be avoiding. Good for you! You'll also get to wave to your neighbors (introduce yourself!), notice wildflowers growing, and be part of a more vibrant, people-oriented community.
Make the commitment for the short trips and stick to it. There's an adjustment period for sure, but hang in there. You're going to do just fine - and you're going to have a ton of fun!

This is perhaps the cheesiest, creamiest pasta recipe out there. Rigatoni pasta is tossed in a creamy sauce with Cheddar, Gouda, Parmesan and blue cheese dressing. If you don't have blue cheese dressing, mix some crumbled blue cheese with a bit of cream.
Recipe by: BOBBESONG
This is a delicious and simple vegetarian pasta dish. Use your favourite blue cheese -- I always use Danish blue as I'm a lover of strong flavours. Use spinach fettucine if you like!
