My gear is so ancient i'm sure some were actually carved my the aztecs! must start raiding again soon!!
Darkmoon Card: Greatness - Item - World of Warcraft
Finally replaced it this week.
My gear is so ancient i'm sure some were actually carved my the aztecs! must start raiding again soon!!
The oldest piece of gear that I'm wearing I think are the 232 T9 shoulders, followed by the 9.5 chest.
The oldest thing in my inventory, aside from perhaps my hearthstone, is a stack of restorative potions that you get from a quest in the Badlands around level 40 I think. They've been sitting in my inventory for about 4 years now.
For me its the Lovely Black Dress - Item - World of Warcraft that has been floating around on various toons for the last 4 or 5 years.
I used the Malygos key quest reward Tanking neck all the way till roughly a month ago when the 245 one dropped off Twins.
Probably a year.
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
Darkmoon Card: Greatness (Twins hate our melee, only one trinket ever)
Cloak of The Shadowed Sun. should be placing it soon with the 264 emblem one though.
Saronite Plated Legguards for me, think those dropped for me on our 2nd Kologarn kill.
Lifegiving Gem ) I used till till the 2nd nerf
Replaced my Auriya (known, for no good reason, to my raid community as the Maiden of Biscuits) cloak yesterday, as Lord Jaraxus' one does not exist. I first got that in July
I won Titanguard in the first or second reset of Ulduar, replaced about 3 weeks ago with heroic Ardent Guard. Incidentally, we've had dual drops of Ardent Guard and Blood and Glory since then. Two of those weeks were in fact triple drops, with the shield. I've had Titanguard since April, according to my DKP list.
Replaced Sand-Worn band, the first 213 item I ever won, with Anub-25's ring, 8 months later. Anub's ring was replaced with the 10-man heroic one a few weeks later.
I still use Defender's Code occasionally, on the basis that stamina trinkets are boring. Mostly for giggles and only when I forget to put a DMC:G on instead.
My Mage still has the epic pink dress of extreme doom in his bank. First epic item I ever saw drop. In fact, he has the other epic pink dress of absolute doom in there too

Oldest item that I still use once in a while would be BlackHeart. I got it my first run in ToC 5. LOL Oldest that I have in my bank is probably my Frost resist gear I crafted for Hydross. >< Oh wait I still have that pocketwatch that makes you run fast for a few secs too.
If we're counting banked items, I still have my first epic ever, Sul'thraze the Lasher, that I got just as I switched to Prot back at level 50, so I never really used it.
I just replaced Mirror of Truth this week, and it was the first Heroic Badge reward I bought after dinging 80.
Shield Wall of the Breaker and Platinum Mesh Cloak ..I agree on moar sheeld dropz!
monarch crab since 75 was the Best stamina trinket for the longest time
I am actually older then your jesus i wish i could of known him....but i missed it. Godrick True Blood
As a druid, my tanking idol.. got it off one of the first Vesax kills and it may be a long time still until I ug it =/
longest item in my bank is probably my tier 5 disco shoulders?
I am actually older then your jesus i wish i could of known him....but i missed it. Godrick True Blood
Platinum Mesh Cloak, like many others have said. We never saw the Jaraxxus cloak drop, or the one from XT. We've also never seen a Scarab drop from ToC 25, only had one Heart of Iron and zero Yoggy-10 trinkets.
But hey, I get my new cloak tomorrow.

Description (short summary):
Several barriers to the free movement of workers still exist in the EU: for example, it is not easy to access public services while working or living in another country.
The European Commission launched the STORK (Secure idenTity acrOss boRders linKed) pilot project in order to remedy this situation with an EU-wide system for the recognition and authentication of electronic identity (eID via electronic cards or other means). It will enable businesses and citizens to securely use their national electronic identities and get help from public administrations in any Member State they live in or travel to.
The present document provides a description of the objectives, structure and expected impacts of this pilot project.
Related article(s):
EU: Cross-border recognition of national eID – Launch of the STORK pilot project
Number of pages:
From what I read about the STORK pilot it was not clear what system will be used to identify users of the Stork. Will it be MOC , use of a central biometric database, if so who will keep this D.B, will it be 1:1 , 1:N or other?
Please let me knoe more about the above.

LOS ANGELES – Aisha Tyler is a jack of many trades: actress, author, game-show host, talk-show panelist, podcast proprietor.
But there is at least one thing the Archer leading lady won't do for a buck.
Windows, she replied, in a heartbeat – joking. Maybe.
Let's race back to Archer before it's off the air again. The series finally had its season-five debut last night. That's a full year after the season-four finale. The FX 'toon spins around secret agents working for a grossly mismanaged independent intelligence service. Imagine peppering a James Bond movie with some of the loopiest characters from The Office.
The new Archer season is something of a reboot of the show, now also dubbed Archer Vice, with the service in such a financial mess that the team is forced to turn to crime. Complicating things: Tyler's character, the agency's finest, Lana Kane, is now pregnant.
But Tyler is mum when asked to reveal the daddy.
I might know who the father is, I can't tell you, she replied. (But) she didn't get pregnant by accident.
At 43, Tyler and longtime husband, attorney Jeff Tietjens, have no children – not that they'd have the time. She hosts The CW network's Whose Line Is It Anyway? a revival of the long-running improvisational game show that boasts all the original American-version principals except Drew Carey.
Tyler's also the proprietor of the podcast Girl on Guy, which offers in-depth conversations with artists and also inspired Tyler's recent book, Self-Inflicted Wounds: Heartwarming Tales of Epic Humiliation.
And she even has a day job, as one of the panelists on the CBS daily chat show, The Talk.
I love to work, Tyler noted. I grew up poor. It was a good time, but I'm not interested in going back.
And I'm going to try to add more jobs to that list, she continued. I want to wake up, look back and think, God! I did a lot of stuff.'

The Evolution of Protein Expression and Cell Culture By Antonio R. Moreira It is commonly believed that technologies in the next 10–15 years will enable sequencing an individualized human genome for less than $1,000. With innovations like these, the twenty-first century will certainly belong to biotechnology. From an industrial standpoint, the discovery of therapeutic molecules and the development of cell lines and processes to produce these molecules will be of paramount importance. This article describes various approaches that have been prevalent in the industry or are likely to be used in the future for generating cell lines with desirable traits and developing high titer cell culture processes. The Changing Landscape of Global Vaccine Development and Market Potential By Hank Liu It is hoped that HIV patients' own immune responses can be strengthened by vaccines so they will not have to rely exclusively on antiretroviral drugs. Glycosylation and the Demands of Antibody Engineering By K. John Morrow, Jr., PhD In one series of experiments, the glycosylation site of IgG1 was removed and an IgA glycosylation site was introduced—resulting in a total loss of biological function. On the Biotechnology Frontier: Personalized Medicine, A Discussion with E.J. Brandreth Favrille, a San Diego-based biopharmaceutical company, is one of a handful of firms on the forefront of personalized medicine. Because personalized treatment is tailored to an individual's biology, it has the potential to be far more effective than current approaches to disease management.

What Comes Next By Laura Bush Today, product costs, not process science, cause the most concern. Contract Services Enabled the Biopharmaceutical Boom By Jim Miller There wasn't much of a contract services industry when BioPharm International began publishing 20 years ago. Today's big names in biomanufacturing, including Lonza, Boehringer-Ingelheim, and Avecia, had not yet entered the business. FDA Modernizes Biotech Regulation Over The Past 20 Years By Jill Wechsler Federal regulation of biologics began more than 100 years ago with the enactment of the Biologics Control Act of 1902. That act required licensing of establishments to manufacture and sell vaccines, sera, antitoxins, and other similar products in order to prevent deaths from contaminated vaccines, as had recently occurred with the diphtheria antitoxin.

"BNP Paribas Private Bank, a money-management subsidiary, is in effect enabling, from Geneva, European taxpayers to escape taxation on investment income," the French magazine reported in its edition which hits the newsstands on Saturday.
BNP Paribas has created an investment product dubbed the "Luxembrella", or the Luxembourg umbrella, referring to the small European tax haven, the magazine said, without citing sources.
The "Luxembrella" is a type of financial product known as a SICAV, an open-ended collective investment fund common in western Europe.
The "Luxumbrella" capitalises on inconsistencies in a 2004 European directive on savings aimed at increased information sharing, which was not ratified by some countries including Belgium, Austria, and Luxembourg.
These countries, as well as Switzerland, which is not an EU member, instead agreed to tax at source income from assets in accounts opened by European citizens.
But this agreement does not cover certain types of investment products, including investment schemes like the "Luxembrella".
"BNP Paribas is deeply involved in this flaw," Marianne reported.
The French bank's management rejected any suggestion of wrongdoing, saying the scheme referred to in the report was an internal collective investment fund, the weekly said.
Up to 3.5 billion euros ($4.9 billion) has been invested in these products in the past five years, the report said.

Hello, my name is Destiny, or, Kuronekohime. :3 I'm a girl if you havn't figured that out yet, and i love to play video games. I like the fantasy types, examples are final fantasy, and then the horror games. I play them occasianlly, but im most of the time a wimp. I just go to PewDiePie's channel or Cry's channel, and watch them play the games. Shooters, like Call of Duty, and all that. I love those kinds of games. Urban Terror right now is on one of my favorites. RPG's are okay, and i'll play on every now and then. I'm always willing to try games on Desaru, so if you happen to find a interesting one, please suggest it, so i can check it out =^.^=
No one is friends with Kuronekohime awww. You should invite your mates to the site, or make new ones.

Jamie's Christmas Turkey
- prep time 1 min
- total time 1 min
- serves 8-10
1 5 kg. turkey, preferably free-range or organic
olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 clementine, halved
a few sprigs of fresh rosemary
2 onions, peeled and roughly chopped
2 sticks celery, roughly chopped
2 carrots, roughly choppedStuffing
olive oil
2 onions, peeled and finely chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp ground nutmeg
a few sprigs of fresh sage, leaves picked and roughly chopped
300 g good-quality pork mince
1 handful breadcrumbs
1. Take your turkey out of the fridge about an hour before you're ready to cook it so it comes up to room temperature before roasting. Give it a good rinse then pat it dry with some kitchen paper, making sure you soak up any water in the cavity. Drizzle the meat with a good lug of olive oil, add a few good sprinkles of salt and pepper and then rub this seasoning all over the bird, making sure you get in to all the nooks and crannies.
2. Preheat your oven to high and start on the stuffing. When the stuffing is ready, turn the turkey around and drop a few small pieces of stuffing into the larger cavity along with your clementine halves and a few sprigs of rosemary. Place your roughly chopped veg in the bottom of a roasting pan and lay your turkey on top. Cover the turkey with tin foil then put it in the hot oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 180°c/350°f/gas 4. Cook for about 35 to 40 minutes per kilo. The 5kg bird in this recipe will take about 3 to 3½ hours.
3. Check on your turkey every 20 minutes or so and keep it from drying out by basting it with the lovely juices from the bottom of the pan. After 2½ hours, remove the foil so the skin gets golden and crispy.
4. When the time is up, take your turkey out of the oven and stick a small sharp knife into the fattest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear and the meat pulls apart easily, it's ready. If not, pop the turkey back in the oven to cook for a bit longer then check again. Once ready, cover the turkey with tin foil and a few clean tea towels for 30 minutes and let it rest while you get your veg and gravy ready.Stuffing
1. Pour a lug or two of olive oil into a large pan on a medium heat and fry off your chopped onion for about 10 minutes or until softened. Stir in a good pinch of salt and pepper, the ground nutmeg and your chopped sage leaves, then continue to fry and stir for another minute or two.
2. Spoon the onion mixture into a large bowl and let it cool completely. Once cooled, add your pork mince and breadcrumbs and use your hands to really scrunch everything together. Once it's mixed really well, bring the stuffing together into a ball, then cover and chill until you're ready to stuff your turkey.

It is with sorrow that we must announce that our foundress, artist, priestess and visionary Loreon Vigné, has left this earthly plane for new adventures is the cosmos. She passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 15th, on the birthday of Horus, Son of Isis, after a brief period of illness. In recent weeks she had grown increasingly impatient with recent new physical limitations and while all hoped for her complete recovery, it unfortunately was not to be. Earlier in the evening she had enjoyed dining on the patio and talking with friends and staff, and announced that she believed that she had "turned a corner" in her recovery. Shortly after going to bed, a friend stopped by to give her a foot massage and discovered that she was not breathing, and despite the valiant efforts of staff, friends, and paramedics, she did not revive on this side of the veil.
Like the Goddess Isis herself and the ancient Queens of Egypt, Loreon succeeded in creating a world of beauty, richness, and delight honoring Mother Nature in the form of Isis, which has been shared and enjoyed with everyone who has visited Isis Oasis. Her charm, brilliance and sense of fun has brightened the lives of thousands.
We are only just realizing the magnitude of her loss, which is affecting so many in so many ways.
The Isis Oasis Sanctuary and Temple of Isis are continuing on the lines that Loreon Vigné established. Her family and the Temple of Isis are working together to ensure her legacy will go on to inspire and enlighten all those drawn to Isis Oasis and the Goddess. Events will continue as scheduled and new bookings will be accepted for weddings, workshops, and other purposes. The Inner Sanctum Symposium on August 22-24 will feature a special honoring of Loreon, as well as the annual Convocation in October. We invite you to wholeheartedly to attend these events to join us in celebrating Loreons life and legacy. This Sunday, an enhanced special Sunday service which Loreon had already planned will take place. All are welcome.
Her autobiography "The Goddess Bade Me Do It!" tells the story of her early life as a Beat-era artist and poet, the establishment of her enamel giftware company, and of the events that led her to Isis and to establish the Isis Oasis.
|Loreon, Leslie, & De traci Regula
Loreon's niece, Leslie Campbell, and De Traci Regula , who is the president of the Board of the Temple of Isis are now living here to continue the overall operations of Isis Oasis
The Isis Oasis Sanctuary and Temple of Isis are continuing on the lines that Loreon Vigné established. Her family and the Temple of Isis are working together to ensure her legacy will go on to inspire and enlighten all those drawn to Isis Oasis and . A formal announcement with more details will be sent out soon in our next Newsletter.

Wabash Cannonball Lyrics - Hank Williams, Jr.
I grew up in Decatur, IL; the Cannonball (which was an actual train that went from Detroit to St. Louis and on to Kansas City) went by my house! Also, I have the original 10" LP by Roy Acuff with this song. Here is how it goes.
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the green New Hampshire mountains to the southland's cajun lore
She's mighty tall and handsome
And loved by one and all
She's the combination
Called the Wabash Cannonball
Oh listen to the jingle
The rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of her engine
Hear that lonesome hobo's call
We're travelling through the jungles
On the Wabash Cannonball
Your eastern states are dandies
So the people always say
From New York to St. Louis
And Chicago by the way
Through the hills of Minnesota
Where the rippling waters fall
No changes can be taken
On the Wabash Cannonball
Here's to Daddy Klaxton
May his name forever stand
And alwyas be remembered
Through the courts of Alabam'
His earthly race is over
The curtains 'round him fall
We'll carry him on to Glory
On the Wabash Cannonball
She pulled in to the station one cold December day
As she rolled up to the platform you could hear all the people say
There's a gal from Tennessee; she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham
on the Wabash Cannonball

Research project description
In Hong Kong, primary mathematics education underwent curriculum reform in 2000. The revised primary mathematics curriculum places a stronger emphasis on developing students' higher-order thinking skills and lifelong learning abilities. Pre-service teachers are expected to acquire mathematical competencies to facilitate the changes of curriculum reform. However, their knowledge and beliefs can significantly influence their potential to understand and implement the required reform. This study investigated Hong Kong pre-service primary teachers' curriculum knowledge, mathematical content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and their mathematical beliefs to deepen our understanding of the factors that may influence their implementation of a new curriculum agenda. Data were collected in three stages and involved three qualitative research methods including questionnaires, interviews, and lesson plan analyses. Survey research was conducted with 152 pre-service primary teachers in a teacher education program in Hong Kong. Nineteen questionnaire respondents were interviewed and nine lesson plans were collected. The data from three interviewees who held different views about mathematics teaching and learning were further analysed as cases to explore the consistency of the knowledge and beliefs across the data collection methods.

They arrived at 74 by including stabbings and incidents without injuries or fatalities. CNN broke down the "74 school shootings" Bloomberg's group cites during the last 18 months, and here are some examples: January 9, 2014: Liberty Technology magnet school in Jackson, Tennessee. A 16-year-old student shot a classmate in the leg as classes were being dismissed. The student was treated for his gun shot wound. August 20, 2013: A man with an AK-47 entered Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, Georgia. He fired shots at the floor in the office and went "outside to fire at approaching police." He then surrendered, and "no one inside or outside the school" was even injured. Bloomberg's group also includes the three people Elliot Rodger stabbed to death in Santa Barbara. These were stabbings--not "shootings"--which happened in an apartment, yet they make the list of "74 school shootings." Other incidents that made Everytown's list were allegedly gang or drug related. All of the real shooting incidents are horrible ordeals, but to list incidents in which no one was injured or in which the injuries were non-life threatening right beside "school shootings" like Sandy Hook Elementary seems disingenuous at best.

He discussed the recent deterioration in media freedoms, including the prosecution of journalists and bloggers and the blocking of websites. Judge El-Jallad said the Supreme Judicial Council had begun to dedicate specific judges to hear cases of journalists in the light of recommendations from the media justice conference, held in Jericho in May this year. He also emphasised the importance of developing the legal skills of journalists to ensure they avoid committing libel. He praised the important work of MADA Center and stressed the importance of cooperation with the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate. Judge El-Jallad also stressed the importance of cooperation between MADA and the Supreme Judicial Council media center on issues related to freedom of expression and information. Mr Rimawi welcomed the decision of the Palestinian judiciary to acquit journalist Alaa Al-Titi, and columnist Isam Shawar, and expressed the hope that the judiciary would continue to uphold the law without cruelty. He also stressed the urgent need for amendments to media laws and for new laws around access to information.

Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence: not just cute, but funny too [Getty]
Ok, we get it Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence are not only like totally adorbes, they're also mega into each other. How do we know? Because Nicholas (yes, he of 'About A Boy' fame) has done some talking about his megaastar girlfriend and it's quite cute. Speaking in the spring issue of V Man, Nicholas revealed that their relationship is much like any other, 'The privacy thing obviously changes but the rest pretty much stays the same.'
Nicholas goes on to reveal that he admires the way in which Jennifer hasn't let her fame go to her head. 'It's like that thing whereby you don't believe your own hype. Enjoy the good times, but don't get swept away with it. I think that's something she's capable of doing, and that's what makes her special, but yeah, it is very odd, and I am just kind of a bystander in many ways. It is well-deserved for her. I haven't really seen any change in her.' Our hearts are melting.
Too cute: Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence at the Oscars [YouTube]
The couple have also worked together on the 'X Men' films - something which Nicholas says he looks forward to, 'It's fun because in this business you are away from one another for long periods of time, so when you're on set together it's a brilliant thing, because you actually get to spend time together. Especially with this film, I got to spend time with her.'
Nicholas and Jennifer first got together in 2010 however they split in January 2013 with work commitments widely thought to be behind it however they got back together again in August and have been inseparable ever since. Oh, and did we mention we looooved them at the Oscars too? Long live Joult!

Google YouTube U-turn: Indie music doomsday 'postponed'
Small independent companies are refusing to sign new pro forma deals with Google, which has publicly said it will block their music videos from YouTube
Not really. Google has said they will block them from monetizing their videos, not from publishing them. I can see how this is a bad thing, but from what I've seen, the new deal that is offered is still better than the one they have today.
The main problem seems to be that the major labels have managed to secure a better deal than the indies.
Xiaomi: Hidden Android dragon is growing fast, despite being unknown in the West
The interesting thing is that this seemingly unknown handset maker is selling a lot more Android phones than the entire Windows Phone ecosystem does combined.
I found numbers indicating that Nokia sold 8.8m phones in Q3 2013 and 8.2m phones in Q4 2013, and that was 92% of all Windows Phone sales (source).
If one does a bit of rounding, this should put the combined sales of all Windows phones at around 10m per quarter.
Xiaomi seems to have sold 26.11 million phones combined in Q1 and Q2 2014, so one could reasonably assume they sell around 13m phones per quarter.

A streaming deal should be pay per volume, since that is what's fair for all participants, and the negotiation should normally be about how much should be paid per stream.

I disagree. The app wasn't malware, or even a threat to the user/OS in any way. It's not the app vettings job to check if any app does what it says on the tin, or is even useful.

I can clarify :)
"balla", if Norwegian, must be dialect. The correct written spelling is either "baller" or "ballar", depending on which written language you choose (we have two).
Baller does mean any kind of balls, both sports and others. Boller is the Norwegian word for bowls.

Re: I wonder

Telenor did try to push for bandwidth caps in the beginning of broadband, but that was swiftly abolished once it became clear that none of the consumers wanted anything to do with that, and neither did their competitors. So here we have net neutrality and no bandwidth caps.
It does cost a bit more per month, but nothing above what's reasonable. I pay around £30 per month for 17mbits (measured) speed over DSL.
You can get 60/60mbps (also measured) FTTP for around £60 per month.

Officials at Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT) broke ground on a $9.28 million cargo apron expansion project designed to allow the airport to handle the increasing amount of cargo arriving at and departing from Lafayette. "The tremendous growth in cargo operations at the airport has necessitated that we move forward with this project now for safety and economic development reasons," says Lafayette Airport Commission Chairman Paul Segura. "FedEx, UPS and other tenants advised us this project is vital to resolve their current capacity issues and to help plan for the future growth they forecast."
Since 2003, cargo operations at the airport have increased over 400 percent. The significant increase puts the current cargo facility at full capacity, forcing cargo operations to overflow to the General Aviation Apron, thereby raising potential safety issues. To meet the needs of existing tenants and future expansion, the airport commission elected to increase the size of the cargo apron by authorizing the construction of 60,000 square yards of high strength concrete, allowing for the servicing of up to five heavy 757 cargo aircraft simultaneously.

A group of UW Stevens Point senior art students are thinking out of the box and out of the classroom.
Six students who showcased their work wanted to get off campus and bring it to the community. They created a pop up gallery in this empty storefront at 2425 Main Street.
"It started with this concept that we read about," said UWSP art student Tarin Baldauf. "A lot in Chicago they do it, this pop up loop where they go in and they find empty storefronts and they set up galleries and then it kind of advertises the space but shows their art."
The students worked with the student research fund coordinator to receive a research, scholarship, and creative activity grant to pay for everything needed to make this happen. Many of these students said they would like to make a living off of their art and are now much better prepared because of the experience.
The exhibit features printmaking, mixed media sculpture, photography, ceramics and metal work, including larger print pieces. Their opening night on Saturday brought more than 100 people in to view their art. The exhibit runs Sunday 12-4 p.m., 3-6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 12-4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday until May 4.

Reaction mixed on morning-after pill decision
Updated On: Apr 05 2013 08:56:45 PM EDT
Ann Cruz's mom had her when she was 14 years old.
"With me being adopted and my mother being so young, things could have been different for me," Cruz said.
Cruz may not have been born if the morning-after pill had been available to young teens back then.
But it is now. Emergency contraceptives must now be available over-the-counter to women of all ages.
Planned Parenthood is pleased.
"We think it's a long overdue decision that has been made, and we completely support it, and we completely support any woman of reproductive age to come in and get access to emergency contraceptive," said Katherine Segura, of Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood county-by-county statistics
"I had a few scares when I was in high school, and I think taking the emergency contraceptive would have eliminated those scares," Cruz said.
But eMed Primary Care owner Rene Pulido has some concerns about teens taking Plan B at a very young age.
"I think people need to understand that the hormonal balance in our young females is an extremely delicate thing, and sometimes to take this type of medication could throw off that balance and there could be some significant complications that come from that," Pulido said.
Pulido said that's true especially if young people begin to rely on Plan B.
"If someone did not have a complete understanding of how to appropriately use this medication and if they took it multiple times throughout a month, it could be hurtful for them," Pulido said.
Planned Parenthood insists the pill is safe.
"Common misconceptions about emergency contraceptive is that it can be unsafe or it is a medical abortion pill," Segura said. "And emergency contraceptive is none of the above. It's very safe. It's been tested and retested by the (Food and Drug Administration), and they have found no side effects, no harmful long-term side effects."
Pro-life advocates are concerned that the ruling puts girls at risk. The president of the group called Susan B. Anthony List says teen girls need parents, not unfettered access to abortion-inducing drugs.
Cruz can't imagine her kids taking the pill at a young age, but she's glad to know it's an option if something were to happen.
"It didn't occur to me, honestly, but now going forward, if that situation arises, it's there," she said.

If there is any good reason to give money to a legitimate media source, NPR should be your choice. On top of being impressive on the news circuit, currently they are also streaming, R.E.M. Live At The Olympia.
For the past 15 years or so, R.E.M.'s willingness to dig deep in their catalog could be aptly compared to being shackled to your bed while your partner tortures you...sexually of course. Their live setlists often feature the songs at the shows you don't attend and jealousy persists when they talk about their former lovers (setlists of prior years). Of course, if the band chose to perform such an act it would result in premature ejaculation on your part which would offer no satisfaction to the band. In this release, the shackles are removed and we are graced with an amazing release.
As I have been listening to this album, I am finding very little wrong with it so far. The small errors in the performances give the album some heart, reminding listeners that in the early days, R.E.M. was not about precision but reckless abandon, while the "Whirling Dervish" Michael Stipe would parade onstage. While Stipe is not the W. Dervish that he once was, the band does give listeners a glimpse into soundtracks of the misfits of Generation X. Sure, they are not the band from 1983, but the songs are not treated as some prepackaged tchotchke from China. They do not sound overly rehearsed but very fresh and unique.
Let's just say that before Michael Stipe and R.E.M. formed, he felt a need to ask Vanessa Briscoe Hay, her permission to start up a band. This was probably in part due to Michael's being uber shy and secondly, his admiration for this fellow Athenian band.
Pylon has achieved cult status amongst music fans and this rerelease is a must. Chomp is now available both on CD as well as digitally. It is also the album that 'Crazy', a song that R.E.M. covered ended up appearing on. Check out Athensmusic.net to purchase or you can also get it at Itunes.
If you live in the Chicago area you are aware that autumn seems to be starting early this year. I remember two years ago that the Chicago Marathon was run in 90 degree temps. It felt like Summer, at one point having to have it cut short because of the dangerous temperatures. This year, you can smell the crisp cool air as a prelude to the winter months.
Michael Stipe to Produce Barry Manilow Movie
Part of me wants to run for cover and the other part of me actually has to appreciate it considering that I grew up in a household where my mother played Barry Manilow all the time. His songbook is etched in my memory as part of the 70's, along with the Six Million Dollar Man, CHIPs, All in the Family, and as far as music is concerned, Dolly Parton and Saturday Night Fever come to mind. Stipe and Single Cell will be looking into developing a movie based on the music of Barry Manilow.
And possibly with a 'Love Actually' feel to it, it could work out. Stay tuned.
CIAO My Shining Star – The Songs of Mark Mulcahy
Sometimes I appreciate the tribute to music of the lesser known stars. A U2 "Tribute" record is surely not going to have anyone respect or admire or educate a band about U2. Now there might be small thought that it would be nice to have "Lemon" as a polka song but all in all, tribute albums work much better pitting famous artists and their lesser known icons.
What are you talking about?
The Minus 5 came out with another new album this year?
Well actually they did, sorta. For those that are going to the Baseball Project/Minus 5/Steve Wynn IV shows, there is a cover CD that is being sold at the concession area containing 17 covers done by the Minus 5. This CD according to Scott is not going to be sold in stores, over the internet, at your local grocery store, etc., so unless you are at a show you will NOT be able to acquire this.
'Butcher Covered' feels equal parts 'I Don't Know Who I Am' and 'In Rock'; an eclectic mix of a few hits such as a deconstructed version of Lynyrd Skynrd's 'That Smell', and some Minus 5 favorites including The Modern Lover's 'Government Center'. The CD offers a glimpse into some of the bands that have inspired Scott McCaughey and I would imagine Peter Buck over the years, a wide array of talents stretching all the way from the 60s till today.
As I write this brief review, one of the challenges has been to attempt to figure out what songs are actually on the CD. Due to a grand total of 0 liner notes, the song titles, performers, etc. are in many cases left up to the imagination of the listener. In some respects that is a good thing because the songs feel more than just a cover version but rather a Minus 5 original.
Steve Wynn and Scott McCaughey are not just two musicians who I appreciate for their talents on the stage but for their wealth of knowledge in America 's Pastime; that being baseball. If you listen to the album, the 'Baseball Project' it is not filled with the familiar faces of baseball but offers a Ken Burn's soundtrack into some of the stories and moments that make baseball such as rich part of our culture.
They are richly observant of the faces and names of baseballs past. I can imagine that someone probably threw away their baseball card collections at some point, and can tell the stories about how they owned a Mantle or Mays. One of the big concerns whenever you write an entire album about a sport is that it could turn out to be hokey. In some cases, the stories aren't exactly happy, i.e. the story of Curt Flood or Mark McGwire were not stories that would seemingly be put on my lists of songs that bring joy and happiness to my life, but they also represent characters who are underappreciated, (see Flood and his role in Free Agency) and tarnished (see McGwire) and steroids.
Thus, Baseball is not the happy-go-lucky sport, but one filled with romance, with loss with pain and exhuberance. It is a sport that is not set by a clock but by outs, so you cannot be a pussy and run out the clock. Currently, teams bring in, a "Closer" for those pressure moments at the end of the game with the game on the line. Maybe this speaks to why I have always loved it, and yet at the same time get the butterflies going through my heart knowing that game is never over until the fat lady is singing.
Luckily there were no fat ladies singing on Friday evening.
Several weeks ago, R.E.M. released a teaser EP of four songs the band played during their time in Dublin, Ireland in 2007. I have been listening to this performance in relation to 'LIVE', R.E.M.'s rookie entry into the concert album foray. The first thing that I have noticed about the songs that were played, are their intimacy. We do not hear the emptiness of the concert venue but the thick nasaly voice of Michael Stipe as he serenades the paying audience with Mike Mills playing a mean bass and adding the essential backup vocals and Peter Buck, janglying his way to heaven.
EMI's announcement of releasing these old singles will probably fall on deaf ears among most R.E.M. fans as there are several reasons why these fall short.
The subsequent songs and their accompanying B-Sides are listed below.
(A) Can't Get There From Here
(B) Bandwagon
(A) Driver 8
(B) Crazy
(A) Fall On Me
(B) Rotary Ten
(A) It's The End Of The World As We Know It
(B) Last Date
(A) The One I Love
(B) Maps and Legends (Live)
(A) Superman
(B) White Tornado
And while as much as I can appreciate the idea of the 45, the retro single does not work in this case because all of these songs have been released on several different formats already. For the B sides listed, Bandwagon, Crazy, Rotary Ten and White Tornado were all released on Dead Letter Office. Maps and Legends (Live) as well as Last Date were also on several releases most notably 'In the Attic' but also on a 'Deep Cuts' EP that was also released this year including other re-released tracks of 'The One I Love' and 'Disturbance at The Heron House' live acoustic versions from the infamous McCabes Show in 1987.
While the singles of these songs claim to be remastered there is no detail as to what the remastering process actually was. Listening to the samples I was not blown away one way or the other.
From a hardcore fans perspective, the singles are ideal for the collector that likes the cover art and vinyl for their collection, something that is lost on these digital recordings.
As the announcement states, these songs are currently available on iTunes and should be available currently in other digital outlets.
Paste Magazine put out what it considers the top 20 R.E.M. Songs of all-time. The best part about this list compared to all of the other lists is that this one is the right list and the others are wrong.
I thought this list was interesting that this list did not feature anything over the last 5 albums.
For some of you "Tape-Traders" out there I would assume that you might be able to relate to this story with NASA and the tapes of the first Moon Landing.
"We're all saddened that they're not there. We all wish we had 20-20 hindsight"
I am probably going to come back to this idea from time to time as it would seem that many industries, including music did not appreciate, at length, the value of "Footage".

Talk about a cool gift I would have never seen coming. Rory's Story Cubes looks to be, as my gifter suggested, a fun game to play while drunk. So, given that it's Friday, I'm going to try just that!
Very cool! I have those cubes and have not played them yet :(
