Sigur Rós is a band so singular that only a small number of adjectives will suffice when describing them. Over the past decade and a half, the Icelandic outfit has been conflating the best elements of post-rock and ambient music without ever fitting squarely into either genre, meanwhile penning mostly long songs, singing in a self-invented language called Vonlenska, and making use of virtually every instrument from here to Reykjavik. After test-driving bona fide pop structures with 2008's Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, the band reverted to more characteristic sprawl for last year's Valtari, a quieter record with only one earth-splitting crescendo. It didn't make the critical dent of 1999's Ágætis byrjun or 2005's Takk..., but then, any initial reception was probably misguided. This is a band that tends to make music best heard loud and in a spacious setting — in fewer words, in a place like the Roy.

A Town in Darfur, Sudan, Dubbed "Ohio Village"
by Karen Smith
New World Outlook, May/June 2009
Deriga, Sudan, is a small village in the southern part of the Darfur region. It was destroyed during a brutal scorched-earth attack by the "Janjaweed," a proxy militia group unleashed by the Sudanese government to fight Darfuri rebel groups and control villages after conflict broke out in the region in 2003. This conflict has killed approximately 300,000 people and displaced more than 2 million more. The United Nations has called Darfur's plight the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
The village of Deriga was looted and burned, and its residents fled to neighboring towns and states to escape the violence. The town was almost empty and totally desolate, but the few elders who remained had not given up hope. They had heard about a project that drilled wells and brought clean water to villages like theirs in Darfur. The Sudan Project -- a partnership formed by Ginghamsburg United Methodist Church and the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) -- could resurrect a town, even one as desolate as Deriga.
The People Will Return
Ginghamsburg United Methodist Church is located in Tipp City, Ohio, just north of Dayton. In August 2008, Forbes magazine named Dayton one of the fastest-dying cities in the United States. Yet, since January 2005, Ginghamsburg has made a nearly $4 million humanitarian investment in southern Darfur through its outreach ministry called the Sudan Project. Part of this funding has literally enabled the resurrection of the village of Deriga.
Ginghamsburg's work in the Darfur region, in partnership with UMCOR, has involved three primary projects since early 2005. A sustainable agriculture program has reached 70,000 people. A safe water and sanitation project is expanding to provide safe wells and water yards for 219,000 people by the close of 2010. And a child protection and development program is constructing schools and training teachers, leading to a school enrollment of 19,000 children since the program's inception. Hearing of these efforts, a few remaining villagers from Deriga approached UMCOR staff members in the spring of 2008 to ask that their town be one of the beneficiaries of a water project.
UMCOR experts were initially dubious, for when they visited the site, little infrastructure was left. As a staff member of UMCOR Sudan admitted, "When we first visited Deriga, the few remaining villagers approached us to say that, if we drilled for water, the people would come back. Based on what we saw, we believed that it would be an expensive exercise for nothing. But they were persistent," he noted, "and they convinced us." The villagers were right. By the time drilling for the well started, the word had spread, and former villagers began to return.
By the time the borehole was complete, the population had swelled to 5,000. By the time the entire water yard was built, the village boasted a population of 12,000 -- many more people than had lived there before the conflict. Of course, this expanded population led to new challenges. The people who returned had nothing left with which to make a living. So the Sudan Project provided seeds, tools, and training to initiate an agricultural program. Next, when the people asked for schools, two permanent structures were built, and two more are in process.
At sites where project money is invested, UMCOR erects signs indicating that funding was provided by Ginghamsburg Church in Ohio. When UMCOR leaders visited Deriga in mid-November 2008, they learned that the villagers had renamed Deriga "Ohio Village."
Sustainable Agriculture
The Sudan Project's sustainable agriculture program was started in 2005 with the proceeds from Ginghamsburg's first Christmas Miracle Offering. With UMCOR's stewardship, that $317,000 helped 5,209 families come back into the farming business. The program was also extended to an additional 1,700 households in 2008. Through both of those investments and through seed and tool redistribution, the project has touched the lives of nearly 68,000 people in Southern Darfur province over the past four years.
The word sustainable is key. The program was designed to ensure that the farmers would retain enough of their seeds to start the next year's crop. In fact, the 2005 crop was so successful that families not only had food to eat and seeds to bank, but many of them were able to take produce to the market, raising funds to purchase the plows or donkeys they needed to enhance their productivity. One group that benefits from the Sudan Project is a Dinka tribe, originally from Southern Sudan, which was displaced into the Darfur region during the 20-year civil conflict between the north and south. Tribe members used the proceeds from their first crop to buy the release of more than 800 of their children from Darfuri landowners, who had accepted the children as indentured servants in payment for allowing the Dinkas to resettle on their land.
Child Protection and Development
The 5-year child protection and development program began in 2006 with Ginghamsburg UMC's 2005 Christmas Miracle Offering. This multifaceted project keeps children safely in school, limiting their exposure to the violence that surrounds their communities and protecting them from conscription into armed militias.
Through the program for children:
Safe Water and Sanitation
Safe water is the most critical health need in Darfur. Unsafe water results in poor health, disease, and outbreaks of violence over scarce resources. Common problems include humans and livestock sharing the same water sources and children traveling up to 8 miles (in one direction) by foot or donkey to collect unhealthy groundwater in 5-gallon jerry cans -- if water is available at all. The four-year safe water and sanitation program was initiated in 2007 from Ginghamsburg UMC's 2006 Christmas Miracle Offering.
At the end of the four-year program, the goal is to have 14 water yards in place to support up to 220,000 Sudanese. A water yard consists of a borehole, generator, water pump, taps for human use, and separate troughs for animals. These water yards are being constructed near the camps and villages serving children in the Child Protection and Development Project so that children may remain in school rather than travel for hours each day through unsafe territory to retrieve water for their families.
The project is also constructing latrines in IDP camps and in targeted schools and conducting sanitation training sessions in villages served by the water project.
Living More Simply for Others
During each Advent season since 2004, Ginghamsburg's senior pastor, the Rev. Mike Slaughter, has challenged Ginghamsburg's members and participants to live more simply so that others can simply live. In taking this step, families seek to spend only half as much on Christmas as they would normally do and to offer the other half to the Christmas Miracle Offering for the Sudan Project. Despite the tough local and national economy and the impact of unemployment within the church family, the Advent 2008 offering garnered $725,749, adding to the $3 million that had been raised and invested from Advent 2005 through Advent 2007.
Ginghamsburg attendees understand that the gospel isn't lived out if the poor are not served. Other churches, schools, and businesses have also been inspired to take compassionate action toward Darfur, with 26 partners from 10 states in 2008 providing $113,000 of the total.

The Moon and Wine?
Some winemakers and enthusiasts believe that wine tastes better on so-called "fruit" days—those days in the lunar calendar when water and saps rise.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.

Big ideas in the news from around the web
Some winemakers and enthusiasts believe that wine tastes better on so-called "fruit" days—those days in the lunar calendar when water and saps rise.
Brendan Kiley looks at the history, meaning, and practice of suicide. "For most people, the subject is so taboo it's hard to deal with—even among people who deal with suicide for a living."
"A growing body of evidence suggests that humans do have a rudimentary moral sense from the very start of life," writes Paul Bloom. "Some sense of good and evil seems to be bred in the bone."
Greece has plunged the euro into its worst crisis ever, and if economists are unable to bring discipline to the country there will be much more at stake than the fate of the currency.
Researchers are attempting to "define a second genetic code: one that predicts how segments of messenger RNA transcribed from a given gene can be mixed and matched."
Emily Bazelon writes that a citizen charged with a crime needs to be read their Miranda rights—even if they are charged with an act of terrorism.
Walt Mossberg provides a basic explanation of what cloud computing is, and what it might mean for us in the near future.
Paul Farmer and Partners in Health "have shown the world that it is possible to control diseases and to redress some of the underlying causes that have turned them into pandemics."
A Brooklyn lawyer is hoping to break new legal ground by offering a brain scan as evidence that a key witness in a civil trial is telling the truth.
For individual birds affected by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, having a person clean the oil from their feathers may be their best chance of survival.

A new study suggests that some patients who don't tolerate antidepressant medications could benefit from a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the brain with an electromagnet.
"The outlets for vindictiveness have multiplied almost to infinity—and your reputation is more fragile than ever," writes Jeffrey Zaslow. "All of us now live under the threat of easy and instant humiliation."
Why do so many top Ivy League grads go to work for Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs and McKinsey? James Kwak says it's because they offer well-paid, generic business training.
The feminist battleground, with its slogans, marches, and campaigns for reproductive rights, has given way to the playground and the fight for lactation rights, stroller rights, and birthing techniques.

A Quick Weekend Trip to Prince Edward Island
Road trips are beginning to be a huge part of this blog. Unfortunately, extended travel hasn't been on my itinerary in over a year; however, I've been making due with quick jaunts around Atlantic Canada & the occasional jump out west. My most recent adventure took me to Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island. Known by everyone out east as PEI, this little rock packs a serious tourism punch to visitors from all over the world. PEI was made famous by the Lucy Maud Montgomery novel Ann of Green Gables. Ever since, flocks of tourists invade the island in hopes of capturing a piece of that romantic happy stuff she wrote about. (Guilty, never read it) While I'm sure that little ginger is awesome, I didn't plan on getting sucked into her allure. I'll leave that for some other time. I only had the weekend, so I wanted to see the island the way a large portion of the people my age see it. As a semi-alcoholic student.
The Confederation Bridge
As luck would have it, my guide was a former UPEI student who was raised in Charlottetown. We drove 4 hours north of Halifax,where we were greeted by a dinosaur. No, thats a lie. It was really just a bridge. But if it WAS a dinosaur, it'd be the Bridgasaurus Rex. King of the bridges. As expected, that wasn't the name of this gargantuan car crossing machine. Instead it took the (less exciting) name of "The Confederation Bridge". With the help of his Jetta, we made it across the 12.9km (8mile) "Fixed link" in just over 10 minutes.
By the time I unpacked it was almost 11:30pm. Prince Edward Island would have to wait until the morning. Relief struck me as the morning brought a healthy dose of blue skies & sunshine. A welcome start to the day after being abused by Mother Nature for the last month with rain. By mid day we set off on the tour.
Old Buildings & Green Frields
It was scorching hot at this point, and getting on the highway even just for a few minutes with the windows down seemed like the a great idea. I was blown away to see so many old rustic churches (or at least what appeared to be churches). Their vibrant whites contrasting with the deep green made me bring out the camera early. I snapped a few pictures and we carried on. First stop, historic downtown of Charlottetown. After a quick drive down to the waterfront and a refreshing walk down Queen Street, the manly guts of mine were crying for a cold beverage and some food. Second stop, Gahan House.
A Home-Brew, A Smoked Meat Sandwich, and a dead Prime Minister
I ordered a Smoked Meat sandwich and a pint of "Sir John A MacDonald", a Gahan home-brew named after the first Prime Minister of Canada. I kicked back in the sunshine on the back patio of the Gahan House and began to realize why people from all over the world came to live & learn in Charlottetown. A sip of the local brew, a breath of the fresh PEI air, and it suddenly dawned on me that maybe I should have gone to University out here. By the end of the pint that thought drowned. Still, it was nice for a second. After finishing my meal (FYI, it rocked), I felt inspired, and thought to myself "This little province is proving to be pretty kickass."
Birthplace of Confederation
My friend/guide said it was time we see some of the country. So off we went, but not before making a quick stop to see the Province House. Birthplace of Confederation. Some may even call it the Womb of Canada. Probably not though, people seem to be put off by the word "Womb". After snapping a quick picture, I figured that was good for now. I like history and all, but really, who wants to be inside a stuffy old building when theres a wide open road, sunshine, green fields, red soil, and a whole sea surrounding you. Seemed like a no-brainer.
Off to Cavendish County
We hopped back into the car and headed off for Cavendish. Not the beach (saving that one for the next trip), but saw most of the County and legendary hills, valleys, and the farms that inspired L.M Montgomery to write that oh-so-famous tale. Coming from a farming province myself, it was refreshing to see men & women hard at work in the red fields. Apparently the abundance of Red is caused from the soil being rich in Iron-Oxide. I'm no geologist, but I can tell you that whatever it is, it looks wild and makes for some neat photos.
Turning Beers into Pee
We called it a day and decided to wait for the evening to arrive, which meant we had plenty of time to drive a few cold cruisers into us. My guide took the night off and transformed into the drinking buddy he normally is. A couple games of Billiards later and we had a satisfactory glow on. We ordered a cab and ended up at Fishbones Oyster Bar. Don't let the name fool you, they offer more than just a unshucked oyster or two. They're sort of big deal in Charlottetown as one of the go-to's for live music. Big supporters of local music & local seafood, I wasn't disappointed.
Hangover aside, the trip to PEI proved to be awesome. I've left plenty to do on my next trip back to PEI (later this summer perhaps), but this was a wicked primer into life in PEI. Seafood, Beers, open fields, oceans, a giant bridge, and some of Canada's friendliest people are what make PEI a place to check out. Rumour has it the beaches in PEI are pretty spectacular too, but I'll wait to comment on that until things warm up a bit and I'm able to go back and dip my lower half underwater.
If you want to see more of Canada's smallest province, check out this awesome aerial tour of the island by TourismPEI.
Big thanks to the Keith family for feeding me & taking me in during my stay, and extra big thanks to my guide/chauffeur/drinking buddy Andy for showing me around and letting me sink my teeth into some of the Prince Edward Island culture.
8 Responses to "A Quick Weekend Trip to Prince Edward Island"
For such a small province, there's really a lot to do in PEI. I only spent one night here, and there's still a lot more I'd love to see.
The old fashioned hospitality and the seafood on the east coast is truly amazing.
I was looking for a formula here.
how to turn beer into pee, and perhaps get an idea on the reverse – turning pee into beer.
but cool view there, having a great time huh?
- Tasha
I just got back from backpacking the Atlantic provinces and I have to say Charlottetown is probably the hardest place to simply get to as a backpacker! Thank goodness for nice people with extra room in their cars on the ferry. I noticed you had a friend with a car on your trip and I would recommend to anyone going to PEI to have a friend with a car there! Having one would have definitely made my stay much nicer (it was nice, but could have been great). Hitch-hiking usually works, but I found it to be a little tougher than usual there.
Thank goodness for the Gahan House for helping me forget my transportation issues : )

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — By most accounts, Apple is planning to announce the iPad 3 on March 7 and will presumably start shipping the devices later in the month. So if you're thinking about trading in your old iPad 2 for the latest model, time is running out to get the biggest bang for your buck.
Nextworth, an online trade-in service for electronics, analyzed pricing trends for iPads in 2011 and found that the resale value of the first generation iPad began to drop significantly starting about two to three weeks before Apple officially announced the iPad 2. Assuming history repeats itself this year, that would mean the value of the iPad 2 will begin to plummet this week and continue to drop until the iPad 3 hits store shelves in mid to late March.
The reason for this drop, according to Nextworth, is that rumors begin to peak about the details of the latest product a few weeks before it launches, which in turn makes the older model less valuable. As the launch date gets closer, the secondhand market gets flooded with old iPads from those looking to trade up, which causes the price to drop even more.

I recently underwent a 2nd rhino revision and this time rib was used. I am over a year post op and still have significant soreness in the area where the rib was harvested. In my post op report it states three different ribs were used 7-9. It states this was done because the first rib harested (8th) was contorted, the second one harvested (9th) was too small, therefore a piece of the 7th rib was taken. Is this common in a healthy, average weight, 36 year old person?
In a Revision Rhinoplasty Using Rib Cartilage, is It Common Practice to Remove Cartilage from 3 Ribs?
Doctor Answers (2)
Removing Cartilage from 3 Ribs for Rhinoplasty
No, this is not common. While one rib harvest is usually sufficient, selection of a better piece of cartilage is not unreasonable. If your surgeon does a lot of rhinoplasties, he or she probably did the right thing, especially if the graft looks good in the nose. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Negative: 1 out of 43
There are moments of genuine pathos, genuine humor, genuine surprise. As much as the film adheres to the strictures of the standard comic-book movie, it also pops with a knowing, loving, Whedon-world jokiness that keeps everything barreling along.
Whedon is the key reason why this $220-million behemoth of a movie is smartly thought out and executed with verve and precision. It may be overly long at two hours, 23 minutes, but so much is going on you might not even notice.
The Avengers has been executed with all the reverence the super-fans demand, as well as the winking, self-referential humor that has made it palatable for filmgoers disinclined to take a bunch of grown men dressed in spangles and spandex so very seriously.
While The Avengers exhibits exemplary craftsmanship, Joss Whedon hasn't made a great film.
May 2, 2012Of the star-studded cast, only Mark Ruffalo (playing Bruce Banner) and Robert Downey Jr. (as Iron Man) bring any personality to the place-holder dialogue. Overlong, monotonous, violent, and simple-minded, this is like one of those "World's Biggest Gang Bang" videos, except that no one onscreen appears to be enjoying himself.

May 4, 2012The Avengers is the best Marvel film to date and quite possibly the best superhero movie I've seen in terms of all-out action spectacle, humor, and replay value. Tony Stark has so much more character development here than in the self-obsessed and flat Iron Man 2, it's nice to see Iron Man getting to do more intricate work aboard the helicarrier than just blowing stuff up. Chris' Evans and Hemsworth did an awesome job as the no-nonsense living legend super soldier and the huggable god of thunder respectively. Joss Whedon does an amazing job balancing the screen time for all the heroes and everyone gets their chance to shine, Black Widow and Hawkeye get to have their own complete story-arcs and S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury, Agent's Maria Hill and Coulson also had their moments and they took it well with the most pivotal scene of the film. But the big surprise is Mark Ruffalo who really steals the show as Dr Bruce Banner/Hulk, he's nailed down the relationship between the scientist and the big guy down to a T, and he has all of the funniest scenes in the Avengers.
Loved the first two acts, the first meet-up of the characters, the confrontations are all top draw but the highlights for me are the vocal interactions between everyone, whether it's between Stark/Banner, Stark/Cap, Coulson/Cap, Loki/Thor, Loki/Widow, Widow'Hawk and what have you is all perfect and I'd be more than happy if the movie would've been four hours long just to see them all bouncing off each other and that's all credit to the smart witty screenplay by Whedon. Every scene is so well made and the script compelling and essential to moving the plot forward, the most memorable moment for me was when Cap was putting on his suit while a Mozart-esque symphony is playing in the backdrop and loved all the pop culture references especially Stark's nickname for the Hawk. The final third of the movie is all-out mayhem and watching the team come together to save Manhattan from a never-ending wave of an alien race who-shall-not-be-named attacks is absolutely exhilarating and the one long continuous shot of all the Avengers in the heat of battle is captivating. It proves the point of how character build-up and the tension watching our superheroes fight and play-off each other in the first two acts and have the final battle in context can make for a more engaging and extraordinary spectacle than just mindlessly blowing things up because you have to. It's the best action set-piece I've ever seen and it's so over the top in an amazing way. When you walk out of the cinema I promise your craving for a very well made superhero movie that's not dumbed down and at the same time not as gritty and dark will be satiated. It's pure indulgence.… Expand
Oct 4, 2012I have no idea why this has been panned so much by the Critics on this site. It's probably one of the best Superhero movies to date. Funny, all action with some brilliant performances by the cast, I can't help wondering why the hell this only scored 69. Still, at least the real film buffs understand (i.e those that do user reviews). I can't help thinking that so many critics only write reviews in a bid to draw attention to themselves instead of actually giving honest assessments of films and games.
Anyway, ignore the Critic Score and just get this movie. It's not too serious and it's highly enjoyable!… Expand

Dec 8, 2013A get together of superheroes should have been set more entertainingly. When you don't have a story good enough, even a lot of superheroes fail to keep you hooked. The Aviator might have sounded exciting on paper, but what I watched was a let-down. I take consolation in knowing that it worked out for the majority of its audience (purely going by the ratings shown here). Can't wait for the sequel!!! With all due respect, 1/5 sounds fair enough for the experience. Miss the good old days wherein I can picture myself enjoying this sort of movie.… Expand

It's pretty amazing how Facebook can suggest friends for you based on the most ephemeral of connections. Or how about when you log in and see ads for services you were just searching for on Google? Or what about when Facebook synced all of your cell phone contacts to the site without you realizing you'd allowed it? What about the new API that allows apps to post items on your timeline without you even doing anything. Not to mention the frequent design changes that put your privacy settings under different menus and submenus.
Maybe you're thinking "Well maybe if I just log out of Facebook...."
Logging out is not enough says self-professed hacker, entrepreneur, and writer Nik Cubrilovic.
"…Logging out of Facebook only deauthorizes your browser from the web application; a number of cookies (including your account number) are still sent along to all requests to Facebook.com. Even if you are logged out, Facebook still knows and can track every page you visit," he wrote in a blog post Sunday.
Yes. Even when you're logged out.
In a series of browser cookie diagrams--cookies that most of us probably rarely examine with scrutiny--Cubrilovic shows that not all of those cookies are deleted when you log out.
"The primary cookies that identify me as a user are still there (act is my account number), even though I am looking at a logged out page. Logged out requests still send nine different cookies, including the most important cookies that identify you as a user…Facebook are only altering the state of the cookies instead of removing all of them when a user logs out," he writes.
Basically, visiting any site that integrates Facebook, meaning any site with a "suggest to friends" or a "like" or "share" button, even while logged out, your information, including account ID, is still being sent to Facebook.
He goes on to explain an experiment he conducted using multiple Facebook accounts from the same browser. Each time he logged out, the fake accounts would still receive suggestions to friend his primary account. Somehow Facebook knew that the accounts were all coming from the same browser.
"There are serious implications if you are using Facebook from a public terminal. If you login on a public terminal and then hit 'logout', you are still leaving behind fingerprints of having been logged in. As far as I can tell, these fingerprints remain (in the form of cookies) until somebody explicitly deletes all the Facebook cookies for that browser. Associating an account ID with a real name is easy--as the same ID is used to identify your profile," he wrote.

text: I personally think that Mijzelffan is more town than anything, as a mafia wouldn't really be crazy enough to draw that much attention to themselves Day 1 just to confirm their own role -- most mafia would stray away from getting flak, especially so early. It would probably only be inexperienced players who would try doing it on purpose, and Mijzelffan isn't at all inexperienced. A check on Mijz would be wasted at this point as far as I'm concerned. He's proved himself as a doublevoter (or a secret voter), and he's put himself under a lot of scrutiny for a mafia player, which would only benefit him if he was the godfather. Since he would come up town one way or the other, what's the point in checking him? Surely any mafioso that is NOT the godfather wouldn't try doing what he did, because they'd be revealed as mafia almost immediately afterwards.

I made 31 (!) dozen of these cookies for Christmas Cookie exchanges. They have a wonderful, unusual taste and are so easy to make. Instead of dipping the cookie in chocolate, I drizzled on melted white chocolate--the contrast between the dark cookie and the light chocolate was lovely.
I think I'd cut down on the shortening in the chocolate mixture - it didn't seem to harden quite enough for easy storage - and I upped both the coffee and cinnamon because the dough seemed a bit bland. They turned out reasonabley tasty in the end, but not phenomenal.
Very tender and delicate with a good amount of flavor as is.

Fire Retardant Aftermath of North County 2007 Fires
Original post made by TWhite, Escondido School, on Dec 17, 2007
My concerns is how to deal with the fall out of the chemicals used to put out the Witch Fires and other local fires. The winds pick these chemicals up and blow them into our community. There is no education on how to prepare ourselves to avoid health risks.
I called San Diego County Health Dept today and was transferred several times when I finally ended up with "Todd" who took down my concerns and said someone from the fire dept. would come out and check out the substance.
The local fire dept. quickly responded and left a message with the young man at my home that it was just normal cement perspiration. I have lived in this home over 12 years and this is the first time my cement is perspiring.
Can someone give me advise on whom/where I can take a sample of this substance and find out what this white powder is?

Chicago, that City of the Big Shoulders, has produced a sleek and dexterous dance company in Hubbard Street Dance, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. The troupe opens the Northrop Dance Series with an ambitious repertory concert that includes works by Swedish choreographer Max Ek, resident choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo, and Robyn Mineko Williams. In Ek's "Casi-Casa," common household objects (a stove, a vacuum cleaner) take on surreal dimensions to music by the Swedish band Fleshquartet. (And where's the baby? Don't ask). Cerrudo's "Pacopepepluto" features three men "vividly aswirl in a lateral current," as New York Times critic Brian Seibert puts it, to music by Dean Martin. And "Little Mortal Jump" showcases this lively group doing what it does best: getting down and movin' on out. (Photo by Todd Rosenberg)

Eclipse learns how to let go
The Eclipse Foundation looks destined to remain a mistress to Microsoft and Sun Microsystems - while the platform is married to IBM. The fifth annual EclipseCon this week saw a blockbuster project announcement and an almost shocking partnership. News that Sun selected the EclipseLink project as the reference implementation for …
Is Eclipse really "married" to IBM?
First, I think its a good article.
But I think that you have to consider that IBM doesn't mind Eclipse having Sun and Microsoft as mistresses.
If you consider that IBM sells their Rational Application Developer (RAD) which is based on Eclipse, IBM will welcome most of the additions to Eclipse.
In IBM's mind, its free enhancements to their own products.
(Eclipse's licensing is very liberal, like Apache.)
So does this mean that IBM support polygamy ?
Paris cause, well use your own imagination. :-)
XSSXXXXE Future Memory Processing
"Milinkovich is sanguine about Eclipse's relationship with Microsoft. "You see these headlines: 'Eclipse taking on .NET and Java'," he said. "Well, no, we're not. This is just the beginning of another open source project. I do like to think of it as Eclipse as having the potential to become the open source competitor to .NET, but these are early days."......
A battle already won well in Mr Milinkovich head. Bravo, Bold Knight/Tsar/Star.
And with the Corporate Markets in GridLocked in Losses and Lost Causes, a Perfect Playing Field for AIMaturer Rich Client Platform Funded Base.
And Eclipse Swingers/Change AIgents is yet another Parallel ControlLed Area in Reality Talking/Virtual Reality Staging ...."A reduced role for IBM on the platform project would leave Eclipse swinging for committers. Suddenly, the call for diversity sounds like reality talking."
Actually, a reduced role for IBM on the platform project would also leave IBM swinging for committers to new platform projects.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Mitt Romney is criticizing President Barack Obama's record on debt as he campaigns in Florida, a critical battleground state.
Speaking to supporters, Romney on Wednesday said he is the candidate who "will stop the spending and borrowing inferno." He was campaigning in Florida for the first time since becoming the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
Romney says neither party is solely to blame for the country's $15.7 trillion national debt. He claims Obama is eager to blame predecessor George W. Bush - though Romney refused to mention Bush by name, instead referring to him as "the predecessor."
Bush endorsed Romney on Tuesday. The campaign did not put out a statement on Bush's decision, though spokeswoman Andrea Saul said Romney "welcomed" his support.

*Augusta, GA*
*Orville Smith, a store manager for Best Buy in Augusta, Georgia, told police he observed a male customer, later identified as Tyrone Jackson of Augusta, on surveillance cameras putting a laptop computer under his jacket... When confronted the man became irate, knocked down an employee, drew a knife and ran for the door.*
*Outside on the sidewalk were four Marines collecting toys for the "Toys for Tots" program. Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of the Marines, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back; the injury did not appear to be severe.*
*After Police and an ambulance arrived at the scene Cpl. Duggan was transported for treatment.
The subject was also transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken ankle, a broken leg, several missing teeth, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions, assorted lacerations, a broken nose and a broken jaw.....
injuries he sustained when he slipped and fell off of the curb after stabbing the Marine.*
Now, that was a well-written police report.

doesn't sound anything like a police report but its a good story.
Somehow, "Oops wrong victim" doesn't quite say it, does it?

Effort to delay paid parking fails
Date: July 6, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
During an update on the city's plan to reintroduce parking meters downtown, Commissioner Terry Turner said he thought it was a bad time to implement what he saw as a tax on merchants and their customers.
It's an extraordinarily risky economic environment," said Turner. "I'd like to defer it for at least a year and perhaps until after the Palm Avenue garage (is complete)."
Turner made a motion to delay implementation, but no one seconded the motion.
Mayor Dick Clapp and Vice Mayor Kelly Kirschner said they'd like to wait to make a decision until this month's budget hearings.
Commissioners Fredd Atkins and Suzanne Atwell expressed their full support for parking meters.
"I don't want to wait a year," said Atwell. "I think it's time."
The city is planning to meter about 700 spaces along Main Street and adjacent roads as early as this fall. The price would be $1 per hour, and the meters would accept credit cards.
So far, merchants have generally been opposed to the plan, but the city is exploring the possibility of revenue sharing, which would give a portion of the meter collection back to the merchants to make improvements downtown.
Some business groups, such as the Downtown Partnership, believe revenue sharing could bring a shift in merchant support.

With the deciding over, the fun part begins… shopping! I did some more research into the TC1100, and found that there are several different versions. It appears that the max processor is a Pentium M 1.2GHz, and the maximum memory is 2G (if you discard the 512MB that comes standard). The price variance seems to also be pretty large, so I have to set myself a shopping limit.
I would like to spend less than $400 on the tablet and all upgrades. I'm basing that on the fact that I'd have to get a stand for the iPad, and the stand I was looking at was about $50, and I'm sure I'd get a keyboard, and that would run about $50, so the price for an iPad with 32GB of storage becomes $799 + tax.
The tablet I was able to secure on eBay was $239 + $12 shipping, so that fell within my budget. I did find out while I was doing this that I needed to be more assertive with my purchase; I missed out on a $249 deal that included the dock and DVD/RW. But I was able to secure that in another auction for $49 + $12 shipping. In that auction I learned another lesson- because right after I hit the buy it now, I found another one for $44 that included an additional power cord, which I think I might need.
But my total so far is $298 + $24 shipping, so I'm satisfied with the purchase.

INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis police say two teenagers have been arrested after a shooting at a clothing store that left one person dead and a second wounded.
Police arrived at the Body Gear store on the city's east side on Sunday afternoon and found two people suffering from gunshot wounds.
Both victims were taken to a hospital. Sgt. Kendale Adams says the male victim died at the hospital during surgery. The female victim was transported in good condition.
It is not clear whether either of the victims was a store employee.
Police said two people have been arrested – an 18-year-old and 17-year-old – who are both from Indianapolis.
Last year, Indianapolis had 125 homicides, its highest tally in seven years. This year, violence is on track to outpace 2013.

The Equal Pay Act (EPA) of the US, and the Equal Pay Act of the UK are two laws that sought to create greater equality in pay among the genders. When they first entered the workforce, women had little protection in this area — it was often argued that women should make less because they weren't supporting families. Yet many people argued that discrimination on the basis of gender when it came to determining salary was incorrect. To counter this, both the US and UK developed laws to prohibit salary discrimination based on gender, and many other countries have similar laws.
In the 1970s, the UK developed and passed an Equal Pay Act that demanded that pay be the same provided people performed the same type of work. They must also have equivalent experience, and be able to prove that they have the same level of competence of other employees. Provided these things can be verified, gender should never be a consideration in determining salary. If it can be proven that a man or woman is not being paid equally, that person may have legal recourse and can sue for back salary and an increase to normal pay.
In the US, efforts to develop the Equal Pay Act began earlier. In the 1960s, several important pieces of legislations helped to establish fewer discriminatory practices in the workforce. One of these was the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was aimed at trying to provide equitable treatment in the workforce and elsewhere for the genders, people of different religious backgrounds, and people of different races.
The US Equal Pay Act went even farther by specifically discussing how employers should evaluate gender. It was added onto an employee protections act that was passed in 1938, and is called the Fair Labor Standards Act. Other laws have helped to strengthen the EPA, and one of these is the 2009 Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. This law gets rid of statute of limitations on being able to sue for back payments, if an employee later realizes he or she has not been paid fairly.
Despite the intentions of the EPA, it's estimated that women still are not paid equally. While the Equal Pay Act did improve and equalize some salaries, it still is not universally applied in either the UK or US. Since employers often discourage employees from discussing salary, some women remain underpaid for years without being aware that they are underpaid. EPAs in countries are a battle being successfully waged, but not yet won.

San Carlos Park Fire
LEE COUNTY, Fla.- The driver involved in a single-vehicle rollover crash at Gulf Coast Town Center this morning sustained only minor injuries.
The accident happened just before 9:30 a.m. near the entrance to Costco. A silver SUV rolled onto its roof, according to the San Carlos Park Fire District. The driver refused transportation to the hospital.
The crash caused minor road blockage on Gulf Center Drive.
