text: The 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade has come and gone. The result has been 55 million legal abortions. The Religious Right denounced abortion and the decision as would be expected. I have no problem with that, although I do have problems with the pro-life movement. As anyone knows who has read my articles on abortion knows, I oppose both abortion and Roe v Wade. But what I want to point out is one reason why the pro-life movement doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. According to the Guttmacher Institute, in 2008, 37.3 percent of women getting abortions were Protestant and 28.1 percent were Catholic. It sounds like the Religious Right should be preaching to its own. Now, pro-lifers can dispute these percentages all they want, but I find it hard to believe that everyone who gets an abortion is an atheist. And to the shame of Christians, I don't think it is Muslim women that are getting abortions. And of course, there is also the continued Republican support in Congress for Planned Parenthood.9:03 am on January 27, 2013 Email Laurence M. Vance

Cafeína, Porto
Portugal 4150-557
Tel: 351 226 108 059
Concierge.com's insider take:
It says something about Porto style that this neighborhood bistro, set in a 19th-century villa behind the beach at Foz, is touted locally as the chicest of the city's restaurants. The menu feels rather out of step with current trends in food—the steak with pepper sauce, for example, harks back to the late 1980s (though the joint only opened in 1995). But it does make for a good place to enjoy a laid-back Saturday evening meal.
Open 12 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 12 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

The annual Applebee's Tip-A-Cop is by far the largest means of raising money for the Special Olympics Torch Run. Last year, the Woodland Police Department had two shifts of uniformed employees that partnered with an Applebee's server to deliver food, refill drinks, and raise donations. Other agencies who have also participated in the past are the CHP and Yolo County Sheriff's Department.
This is a fun event where the community can raise money to help kids experience the fun of Special Olympics. Officers will be wearing their uniforms while they serve. If you're looking for some lunch (or dinner) plans today, come on out to Applebee's to join in the fun and contribute to an important and worthy organization.
When: Tuesday, Jun 9th, 2009

By showing hunger, deprivation, starvation and brutality, as well as endurance and nobility, documentaries inform, prod our memories, even stir us to action. Such films do battle for our very soul.Theodore Bikel
The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land.Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.Elijah Wood
Tolerance is mans ornament, keeping promises is a sign of nobility, and bonding with others is a grace.Husayn ibn
There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man or woman. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.Hindu Teaching
He is man whose heart is spirited and eyes are wet each moment on account of the sorrow, compassion, virtue, beauty, and nobility that decorate this world.Kedar Joshi
Every noble action is selfish. Some selfish actions are nobler than others. But they are all selfish. And as such there can be no action purely noble anyway. Even the nobility in God's great philosophical intentions is bounded by his vanity.Kedar Joshi
Nobility of spirit has more to do with simplicity than ostentation, wisdom rather than wealth, commitment rather than ambition.Riccardo Muti
For as long as this nation has known war, we have embraced the heroes it has produced. Americans have rightfully noted the honor and nobility of courage under hostile fire and thanked those who perished in their defense.James T. Walsh
The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self.Whitney Young
It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.Marcus Tullius Cicero
Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads.Georg C. Lichtenberg
If there is anything good about nobility it is that it enforces the necessity of avoiding degeneracy.Boethius
It is perhaps common in the world for individuals and nations to suffer for their noble qualities more than for their ignoble ones. For nobility is an occasion for pride, the most treacherous of sentiments.Daniel Moynihan
Men don't like nobility in woman. Not any men. I suppose it is because the men like to have the copyrights on nobility -- if there is going to be anything like that in a relationship.Dorothy Parker
War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it.Benito Mussolini
Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first comer: there is nobility in preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and discretion, it ca.George Santayana
To win over certain people to something, it is only necessary to give it a gloss of love of humanity, nobility, gentleness, self-sacrifice -- and there is nothing you cannot get them to swallow.Friedrich Nietzsche
Kings cannot ennoble thee, thou good, great soul, for One who is higher than kings hath done that for thee; but a king can confirm thy nobility to men.Mark Twain
The human element, the human flaw and the human nobility - those are the reasons that chess matches are won or lost.Viktor Korchnoi
Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul.Rebecca West

The Nats Blog's own Ted Youngling sat down with Vinny Cartiglia of MetsBlog to discuss this week's series between the Washington Nationals and the New York Mets.
The Nats began a three-game series with the Mets tonight at 7:10 pm.
Vinny Cartiglia: The Mets are scheduled to face Stephen Strasburg during this three game set, who I am very excited to see up close. Do Nationals fans believe he can live up to the hype that has surrounded him since being the first overall selection just two years ago?
Ted Youngling: Strasburg continues to impress me with each outing. It amazes me that despite undergoing Tommy John surgery over a year ago he still made it back in time to make five starts last September. In a weird way, I feel the hype surrounding Bryce Harper has taken much of the pressure off Strasburg.

You're looking for a Mac finderbar for Windows 7? Here's a decent finderbar clone that will work on Windows XP, Vista and 7.
Warning: The finderbar should only be used on Windows 7 systems that already have some kind of Mac Theme installed or it might break the taskbar. So make sure to grab our Mac Transformation Theme
To get the original Mac symbols on the finderbar you will have to install the font Finderbar.ttf. If you don't know how to install fonts, you should read our guide how to install fonts in Windows 7.
The finderbar includes some commands that the original finderbar lacks and it's definitely a nice addition to Windows 7.
You can download the Mac Finderbar from http://landvermesser.tripod.com/. If you have AVG Antivirus installed it will report the installer as malware. This is a false positive, I checked the file with 2 other virus scanners and they did not find anything at all.
Requires Mac theme for XP/Vista/Windows 7

Here's a fun tongue-in-cheek Graphic Standards Manual to help you design like collage artist/activist Barbara Kruger. From the introduction:
Welcome to the Barbara Kruger Graphic Standards Manual. This guide is intended to service students, artists, designers, and activists that have an interest in juxtaposing text with imagery in the fashion of Barbara Kruger. This has been developed to help you accurately position your own work amongst this famous artist, designer, an/or photographer. As Barbara herself stated, pictures and words have the ability to determine who we are and who we aren't. It is through this combination that we can establish an identity, and by impersonating Barbara's own unique style, you yourself can remain anonymous--in effect being while not being. As Barbara's work evolves using typefaces beyond the Future family and the color red, this guide must evolve as well.Link (Thanks, Imaginary Foundation!)

Sissy Husband Caught On Tape!
I'd been married to Janet for five years. Unbeknownst to her, I secretly dressed in her bra, panties, pantyhose and heels when she wasn't home. I thought she never knew, although I was afraid she'd find out and divorce me if she did. One day when she was at work and I was dressed in one of her sexy Vanity Fair panties and a matching bra, I noticed something that I hadn't seen before at the top of her open walk-in closet. Upon inspection, I found it to be a hidden camera. I was mortified. She had been taping my secret cross-dressing for God knows how long. When she got home that night, she walked in with a smug look on her face and said, "So, you found the camera. Did you really think I wouldn't know?" "I'm sorry," I blubbered. But before I could beg her not to divorce me, she said, "Don't be. Everyone at my office has enjoyed your sexual fantasies for the past year. As a matter of fact, we've burned them all to DVD." She then pulled out a DVD case with a label on it that said, "Sissy Husband Caught On Tape!" And there was a photo of me in the bedroom wearing panties and masturbating. "Sales have been incredible on the Internet. So, you're not going to stop wearing my panties for a long time. We need to make a sequel. Now get in the bedroom and put on that pink see-through lace pair that you like so well or I'll divorce you tomorrow."

Black Bombers -- April Fool's Day, 1941
The Elkhart Daily Truth detailed a plan to create a protective air fleet for Indiana at low cost by attaching miniature, eight-ounce bombs to 25,000 crows, which would be trained to release the bombs on the enemy. The report included a photograph of one of the "Black Bombers." The "bomb" in the picture was really a salt shaker, and the crow was stuffed.
Although the crow bombers were an April Fool's day joke, there really was a plan developed and tested by the U.S. military during World War II to create "bat bombs" by strapping incendiary devices to bats, and then dropping the bats on Japanese cities.

"First rate analysis at a cut-rate price." — Creative Screenwriting
Montage or Series of Shots?
Writers are often confused about how to present a series of short scenes that are illustrative or transitional in nature. When the shots are so short and disjointed as to make it awkward to present them as scenes, then a "SERIES OF SHOTS" is the answer.
Montages, on the other hand, are usually transitional, with each shot dissolving into the next one, and they often don't involve the principal characters. For example, a montage of a flight might include the airplane taking off, dissolving into an animated line showing its progress across a map, dissolving into a shot of the plane flying through the clouds, dissolving into a shot of it landing.
Montages tend to be used less often than a series of shots. In either case, the images should not be random, but progress the narrative and build to a climax.

The room is big and old. Needs serious renovationfrom mrb62
We get to the room and my wife immediately pulled back the covers to discover stained sheets. We had them changed and advised housekeeping to throw it away if they can't get it clean. The closet doors were off track and we had them fix it. We left the room and when we came back our patio door was wide open. I closed it tight but somehow it came open. I locked the doorknob but didn't realize the deadbolt needed to turned also. Like I said, the room is spacious but truly a mess and badly in need of renovation. We're attending a family reunion here so that's why we're at this dump. I wouldn't recommend this hotel until they do a complete renovation.
One reviewer stated she didn't see the problems everyone else has. Look for the pictures after Aug 6 and you'll see for yourself.
Major Dissapointment!!!!!!from gemini007
I booked 4 rooms at the La Playa because my son got married on the beach Friday night, this was a special event for our family, one of which we did not need the added aggravation of what we had to deal with from this hotel. Some of our out of town guest were treated rudely by the housekeeping service and could not get clean towels for their room. Yes ,you can see our stay was very disappointing any I will not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.
NOt a resort!!from brew1
Bring your own towelsfrom bethied74
First, they overbooked the hotel. We had 6 people staying in our room and I booked a double suite. When I got there, they gave us a king suite, which could only sleep 4. Very frustrating. Luckily there was someone else in our group that did get a double suite that could make do with the king suite and we traded rooms. However, if I hadn't been so lucky what would I have done?
Secondly, the towel/housekeeping situation was a nightmare. We had clean towels/washcloths in our room on Monday when we checked in and every day after that was a fight to get towels. We only received washcloths one other day. When we would call to beg for towels, they would send 4 towels and 6 HAND TOWELS. The last two days of our stay, we did not see housekeeping at all and we didn't receive any towels until 6:30 in the evening on our final day (and those were brought to us personally by a manager, not housekeeping). Completely ruined our dinner plans.
Everytime we called down about towels we got a sob story about how the hotel was so booked and they couldn't keep up. DON'T OVERBOOK. At one point, we had two days of dirty towels in our rooms. GET HOUSEKEEPING TO PICK THEM UP SO THEY CAN BE WASHED. We didn't see a housekeeper the last two days.
Loved the La Playafrom punz
t stay here!from katlizzy
We booked a very expensive suite ($189 a night) - several things were broken (closet door, balcony railings on 8th floor!, curtain rods) and missing (pillows for bed, silverware ( 3 forks and 2 knives, plates in the kitchen) 2 dining room chairs). This is a suite for 4 people. There were coach roaches - we killed two big ones and I found roach dropping in the kitchen. The bathroom was just big enough to turn around in. Parking cost s an extra $5 a night.
I complained the first day to the management and was told housekeeping would come immediately.
No one ever came despite several calls and personal requests.
Daytona Beach hotels are known for being ratty but I had expected something better for the price. I made a written complaint to the hotel but so far (4 weeks) have not heard from them.
Everyone should stay herefrom CopaSis
So 3 happy girls head for the pool. Right away Melissa (entertainment pool coordinator and "stay off the line" guard) came over to us and had us playing beach chair bingo and trivia games. She is also a wealth of information on the area, from turtles hatching to Daytona's birth of speed to the rip tides. Right after meeting her we of course met Beth and Shane......the wonderful pool bartenders. Beth makes a great bucket.....yes, bucket, of Voodoo juice. (A personal favorite of mine) And Shane, he makes a great.......snowball. They land perfectly on your back to cool you off. he he (he did this with our permission) On Fri and Sat's they have a dj poolside.....Kyle. He's pretty fun and once you let him know that you are a music buff and can guess any 80's tune, he puts you to the test. (I passed)
Everyone we ran into that worked at this resort was so very helpful, friendly, and courteous. The maid left us extra towels and coffee when asked. The pool maintenece man was even fun. It was wonderful to know that each day you came to find your pool chair that your area would be free of trash, sand and debris.
We would be happy to have another girls' trip, or family trip to this resort again.
Rats Come Out at Night..from sugarhill
To say the least.. The staff was short and did not actively want to assist. Had to keep asking for things. Informed the front desk of the Rats.
So if you go, don't have snacks if you don't bring extra for the pets... I love Daytona but I will not pay $189.00 to sleep with RATS.

Top Local Tips for Daytona Beach
Ocean Deck Bar/Restaurant Do NOT eat here. The food is horrible! As we were leaving, at least 2 other tables that had left were commenting on the same thing. The valet parking is nice and the guys that run it are very nice. The bar downstairs is fun.....if you like drunk people around you in the afternoon until night. If you are looking for a "meat market" party atmosphere then go here.
Daytona is for spring break Daytona is not a family friendly area. With cars and vehicles going up and down the beach, you have to constantly watch out for your little ones. Also due to the spring break "visitors", many of the hotels are rundown and in disrepair. Most of the attractions are out of town like Cape Canaveral and St. Augustine. Not a lot to do except swim and go to the cinema. It is an hour away from Orlando which is one of its only drawing points. My daughter lives here and that is the only reason we come. The west coast of Florida is, in my opinion, much nicer.
Daytona Beach Daytona Beach is a beautiful place, I think this is a fun place for a family get-a-way.

2013 developments
A House subcommittee rejected a bill that would allow citizens to vote absentee without requiring a reason for doing so. The reason stated for rejecting the bill was a lack of resources. Win Sowder of the Williamsburg registrar's office said, "This would be a real burden on our office. Our office is really small and early absentee voting would set us up for failure."[3]
However, a different bill by Delegate Daniel W. Marshall, III which would allow voters 65 and older to cast absentee ballots without an excuse was approved.[3]
Voting early
- See also: Early voting
Virginia is one of eight states that allow early voting but require an excuse to vote early (reasons are the same as those for absentee voting, detailed above). Early voting begins as soon as ballots become available and ends on the Saturday before the election.[4][5]

In gun debate, 2 sides speak different languages
WEXFORD, Pa. — Inside the Big Buck Sport Shop, where mounted moose and deer heads loom over rifles, handguns, targets and ammunition, the customers have no doubt: More gun laws will not save lives.
Fifteen miles south, in the city of Pittsburgh, many confronted by a steady stream of gun violence are just as certain: To reduce the carnage, stricter gun control is needed.

Bacon Weave Smoked Meatloaf with Old Cheddar
I was inspired today from The Original Bacon Explosion™, the world famous bacon-stuffed, bacon-wrapped Italian sausage.
I also had a pound of bacon in the freezer and some ground beef I found as well. I have done a few weaves of bacon before. On a few dessert recipes as well. This worked out extremely well.
3 lbs ground chuck
1 lb bacon (to wrap)
4 scallions finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
3 tablespoons BBQ Sauce
2 tablespoons Sisters Secret Fragrant Chili's
1/2 lb good aged old cheddar
Bread crumbs to bind.
I mixed together all of the ingredients and added just enough bread crumbs to bind it together.
Then using a loaf pan as my mold I placed plastic wrap in the cavity. On a cutting board I made my bacon weave. I had 3 slices left over from the pound.Then I just inverted the cutting board over the loaf pad and let the bacon drape in.
After this step it is simply filling in half the ground chuck mixture, placing the cheese with the center, and covering with the rest of the ground chuck mixture.
Once this step is accomplished just adjust the bacon slices to cover. I used the remaining 3 slices of bacon to ensure I had full coverage on the bottom.
This needs to chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
When your loaf is chilled remove from the mold. I placed mine on my frogmat. Just to make my life easier.
My Traeger grill was set at medium high heat. (300F) I used apple pellets.
I took it to 160F internal temperature.
Ok I admit I tried to wait. Really I did. My impatience got the best of me and I cut into it. OOey gooey cheese came out. I should have waited at least 15 minutes.
It still made for a great dinner.
Christmas Eve prep continues….
Day 23 – 25 Days of Christmas BBQ Blogging..
ABT's, Puff Pastry Wrapped Brie with smoked garlic and walnut wine preserves, Cevapacici wrapped eggs
More prep today so there will be no finished products till everything goes on the BBQ's tomorrow afternoon.
The first item I started out with today are the ABT's (Atomic buffalo turds) which my FIL and husband both love dearly. I sure like them as well.
I love making ABTs They are fun little jalapeno packages of goodness. I rarely make the sme kind twice. These just get better and better.
I started out with 23 whole jalapenos that I split, cleaned the seeds out and washed. I use a tomato corer for this. Its a great tool for this task.
Then I mixed up 2 packages of cream cheese, some applewood smoked cheddar that I received in my Traeger gift basket this year, a bit of my own BBQ rub, spring onions and some minced garlic – thats about it.
Piped the mixture into the jalapenos. (* if your mixture is too stiff to pipe put the piping bag in microwave for 30 seconds) added a small slice of kolbasa to the tops of each.
Wrapped each with bacon. They are ready for the grill tomorrow.
The next item I worked on is a puff pastry wrapped brie. This is where store bought items really come in handy.
I had received a wonderful package from my sister in Smoke Angie Quaale owner of Well Seasoned a gorgeous gourmet food store in Langley BC. Angie sees some of the best food items there are and she sent me some of her favorites from this year. In amongst these food gems was a lovely jar of turkish fig and walnut wine preserves. Now I love figs and brie so this is a natural fit for me. In addition I had smoked some garlic the other day. I really don't have the time to make my own puff pastry so PC brand works for me.
The rest is just a matter of assembly. This is not hard at all and best of all it can all be done the day ahead before it hits the grill.
Roll out the puff pastry
I scraped the top of the brie with a steak knife. I then spooned on some of the delicious fig and walnut wine preserves.
Pile on the individual cloves of smoked garlic
Wrapped all up in the puff pastry. I also gave it an egg wash so it will be shiny coming out of the grill or oven. Lastly I sprinkled on some smoked salt.
Off into the fridge it goes till tomorrow.
The last item I prepped today was something I haven't tried before with this type of sausage.
Usully we have cevapcici with a roasted red pepper dip (Ajvar) for Christmas eve and as a snack on Christmas day. I fell in love with these shortly after marrying my husband who is Macedonian. These are a staple in his parents house- caseless sausages made of pork and beef. Unfortunately I forgot to pick up another case from D&S Meats in ajax Ontario. I did not have enough time to make my own.
So what to do?? I only had a few left in freezer. 24 to be exact. Not nearly enough for both Christmas and Christmas eve. I love scotch eggs and I hope this turns out to be a fantastic BBQ'ed version of them.
I started with 8 boiled eggs and made a patty out of the sausage. I did this all on plastic wrap to make it easier to assemble.
Then for color and flavour contrast I laid down pieces of roasted red peppers and some spring onions.
Next up you just have to add cheese. I picked an aged cheddar that was in the fridge. ( I would have used just about any type of hard cheese.)
Then here is where the plastic wrap comes in handy. I used it to help lift up the sides and then formed it into a ball.
I just repeated that over and over till all 8 were covered then sprinkled some House of Q BBQ rub on them.
I hope they work out well so I can slice them into wedges. Ill post the pics tomorrow. I am off to my favorite place to shop-my butchers Hovey's Gourmet Meats to pick up my turkeys and some other tidbits of yummy goodness.

An organization that connects returning National Guard members and Reservists to businesses in Tennessee is hosting a job fair for all veterans this afternoon in Smyrna.
According to a recent survey, companies admit military-related skills are good for their bottom line, yet the unemployment rate of veterans is above the national rate of 8-percent.
But for returning soldiers in Tennessee, that rate is drastically higher. Marvin Wells of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve says the numbers have been rather stagnant.
"Over the last two years…every unit that we've processed back into the state after being deployed – the unemployment rate has been 25-percent."
Wells says this event is not a job fair – but a hiring fair – as only employers wanting to hire service members were invited. About sixty businesses with openings from retail to factory work will be present.
The ESGR has also held workshops to help soldiers organize their resumes for the job they're seeking to improve the odds of getting hired.

Wrestling: Southland contenders lining up for 2014-15 season
By Logan Malloy For Sun-Times Media March 6, 2014 10:06PM
Updated: March 6, 2014 10:06PM
The Southland saw six state champions emerge from the individual tournament — led by three-timers in Mount Carmel's Bryce Brill and Thornwood's Kris Williams — and a total of 41 individuals reach the podium. Marist and Oak Forest added to the hardware count by bringing home trophies from team state.
So is it too soon to think about next season?
Not if you're Oak Forest, which finished third in Class 2A and likely returns nearly its entire roster, led by two-time state champ Danny Swan and a trio of state-placers. Swan said the slew of juniors on the team circled their senior seasons long ago.
"We all came in as freshmen and we mostly had a freshman team at the time," Swan said. "We were mostly too young to compete."
The Bengals finished 6-11 that year in coach Shawn Forst's first season guiding the program. Two years later, the Bengals went 24-2 with primarily that same group.
"We're all really tough now, and we're looking for that state championship next year," Swan said, "especially because Montini is moving up."
The last part is key.
Since the inception of the three-class system, no team ever has beaten Montini, which just won its seventh straight 2A title. The Broncos, however, are stepping up a class, or rather, being shoved up to 3A by the IHSA Success Advancement Component.
"It's good for the sport, it's good for the state to have us in 3A and to give other teams in 2A a competitive chance to win the state title," Montini senior Edgar Ruano told the Sun-Times.
Other contenders
Marist loses Purdue recruits Peter Andreotti and Mario Leveille, along with seniors Mark Duda and Mike Mullaney, to graduation. Yet the RedHawks shouldn't miss a beat with third-place medalist Alex Benoit leading another strong group for coach Brendan Heffernan.
Ameen Hamden, Nick Lukanich, Jimmy McAullife and Andy O'Brien form a strong quartet at the lower weights, while David Kasper, Nick Gasbarro and Jakada Hull provide meat in the middle of the lineup.
Sandburg, Lockport and Lincoln-Way Central will keep the SouthWest Suburban Conference among the best for wrestling.
Lockport loses state champ Brian Rossi and stalwarts in Vince Dietz and Dan Radcliffe, but Tyler Johnson will be on a mission to win a state title after losing the 195-pound championship in sudden-death overtime.
Sandburg figures to have Brian Krasowski and Patrick Brucki back in the heart of its lineup. Lincoln-Way Central will make it tough sledding for opponents in the upper weights, with heavyweight medalist Bryan Ditchman, plus Jake Dudek and Sean Kelly.
All-Name Team
Like Picabo Street in downhill skiing or Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Cecil Shorts III, the best names tend to stick with us long after the season ends.
Without further ado, here's the SouthtownStar 2013-14 All-Name Team, featuring the coolest names from seniors around the Southland wrestling scene:
Cosmo Halwix, Argo; Mantas Drukteinis, Stagg; Hunter Pindel, Sandburg; Colton Kielbasa, St. Rita; Keon Mayo, Hillcrest; Tino Abarca, Reavis; Bryce Brill, Mount Carmel; Fidel Toto, Thornridge; Ronan Sullivan, St. Rita; Chitunda Tillman, Morgan Park.

Supermoon Tonight!
On March 19th, a full Moon of rare size and beauty will rise in the east at sunset. It's a super "perigee moon"–the biggest in almost 20 years.
"The last full Moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993," says Geoff Chester of the US Naval Observatory in Washington DC. "I'd say it's worth a look."
Hazy clouds obscuring the moon tonight. Wish I had access to a RCX400 with a CCD camera. Ahh, the photos I could take…
Okay, now I am officially jealous

Listen to the news story
A California lawmaker wants to create a "zero tolerance" law for driving under the influence of drugs.
Californians would face a "zero tolerance" policy for drugged driving under a proposal at the State Capitol. But as Ben Adler reports from Sacramento, critics say the bill could have some unintended consequences.
California's "driving under the influence" laws cover both alcohol and drugs. But unlike the point-zero-eight percent (0.08%) drunk driving limit, there's no such threshold for drugged driving. This bill would make that threshold zero. Law enforcement groups back the measure. Scott Seamen (SEE-men) is with the California Police Chiefs Association.
"It is very difficult for law enforcement and for prosecutors to understand why we don't have the same view around the impacts of drugged driving."
The bill makes exceptions for drugs used with valid prescriptions. But medical marijuana advocate Lanette Davies says medicinal pot users wouldn't be covered by those exceptions – nor would drivers taking over-the-counter cold or allergy medications.
"Let's say you're in an accident, you've got Claritin that says non-drowsy on it. You are going to be held permanently responsible because you have that medication in your blood system."
Seventeen other states have similar "zero tolerance" policies.

Sunday 2 March 1661/62
(Lord's day). With my mind much eased talking long in bed with my wife about our frugall life for the time to come, proposing to her what I could and would do if I were worth 2,000l., that is, be a knight, and keep my coach, which pleased her,1 and so I do hope we shall hereafter live to save something, for I am resolved to keep myself by rules from expenses. To church in the morning: none in the pew but myself. So home to dinner, and after dinner came Sir William and talked with me till church time, and then to church, where at our going out I was at a loss by Sir W. Pen's putting me upon it whether to take my wife or Mrs. Martha (who alone was there), and I began to take my wife, but he jogged me, and so I took Martha, and led her down before him and my wife. So set her at home, and Sir William and my wife and I to walk in the garden, and anon hearing that Sir G. Carteret had sent to see whether we were at home or no, Sir William and I went to his house, where we waited a good while, they being at prayers, and by and by we went up to him; there the business was about hastening the East India ships, about which we are to meet to-morrow in the afternoon. So home to my house, and Sir William supped with me, and so to bed.

Almost done with my 30 day challenge and I'm thinking of making this a year long challenge! I will let you know when I get there. Haven't had sugar, chips, junk food period. I still drink crystal light though, and I'm considering ending that consumption since its fake sugar and its probably no good.

I had a bad case of eczema, then a friend from my meditation group recommended a concoction of three essential oils. I mainly use Coconut oil, but I also use Melaleuca a.k.a. Tea Tree and Lavender. I've had this problem for a while now, and out of all the things that I've tried, the essential oils work the best.
However, I strongly believe in the brand that I use, which is called "doh Terra." I don't know why, but all of their essential oils can be safely ingested. Anyway, my problem areas are my cheeks, brow and forehead. My skin gets very irritated, dry and flaky, especially during the winter. So I also use soaps with essential oils. I have a bar of soap, that has Tea Tree oil, salt, etc., and a similar one with lavender. After showering, I apply coconut oil over the problem areas. I might also apply a small dab of lotion with aloe vera on the problem areas, too.
Then in the morning, after washing my face, or if I have any extra problems, I use my friend's concoction. It's a small green vial with three drops of Tea Tree, two drops of lavender and the rest is coconut oil.
So anyway, I've been using everything for a month now, and I've used less than a quarter of it.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Leeds have completed the signing of midfielder Michael Tonge from Stoke on a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
The 29-year-old has returned to Elland Road after a successful loan spell that saw him make 22 appearances between September and December.
Tonge scored five goals during his stay and United boss Neil Warnock was delighted to complete the signing of the experienced performer.
"Tongey showed what an important member of the squad he is," he said.
"I'm delighted we've been able to agree things with Stoke to bring him here permanently.
"I think people saw Michael get better as time went on and you could see what he brought to the side."

Will Co. employees union closer to strike
By Cindy Wojdyla Cain firstname.lastname@example.com October 31, 2013 3:00PM
Teachers on strike picket outside the North Shore School District 112 offices in Highland Park on Oct. 16. | Ryan Pagelow~Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 2, 2013 12:35PM
Will County government's largest employees union informed the county on Thursday that it plans to terminate its collective bargaining agreement on Nov. 13, which is step one of two needed before its members can strike.
The union also would have to give the county five days' notice of its intent to strike, but that date now could be as early as Nov. 13.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 1028 urged "responsible county officials" to "step forward to avert a looming crisis" and seek a fair contract at the bargaining table, according to a news release from the union.
In a countering press release, County Executive Larry Walsh expressed his "extreme disappointment" with the union's action.
"I find it very unfortunate that members of Local 1028 ... have decided to take this action," he says. "I find it very disappointing that this is the result after over a year's worth of negotiations. I want all of our Will County residents to know that their safety will be our No. 1 priority, whether it is keeping the county roads drivable or keep critical county services going."
Walsh also says he has a responsibility to county residents and taxpayers, and there are limited resources for all that needs to be done.
"We must not only address our employee's salaries and benefits requests but also invest in critical infrastructure projects that benefit all our residents," he said.
The union's legal notice came in a letter sent Thursday to all county employers, in which the union points out that "when the county was faced with a difficult economic situation due to the 2008 recession, Will County employees agreed to a four-year contract without any cost-of-living increases."
But "rather than demonstrate that the sacrifices made by county employees are appreciated and that their work is valued, the county is now demanding further sacrifices far in excess of what any objective observer could term as fair and equitable," according to the union. "It would appear that some county officials who are hostile to the notion that government should serve its citizens and treat its employees fairly are dictating county bargaining positions."
The letter makes clear that a strike is avoidable if county officials return to bargaining with new proposals that offer workers fair pay and affordable health care. The two main stumbling blocks to a new contract are pay raises and health insurance premiums.
The county is offering modest raises, but it wants union workers to chip in more for their health insurance premiums, in some cases double. Workers say they need raises so they can afford to pay more for medical insurance and don't wind up with less take-home pay after going without a cost-of-living raise for four years.
County officials say employees have continued to get 2.5 percent raises on the union pay scale for additional years of service and that should count as a raise.
AFSCME Local 1028 covers 1,260 of the county's roughly 2,300 union and non-union workers. Only about 1,000 of its members can strike because state law prevents county jail guards from walking off the job.
The county has 15 union contracts that all expired Dec. 1. Seven are with Local 1028, including one that covers 600 workers that fall under the county executive's office.
Because Local 1028 is the county's largest union, its contract often sets the terms for pay and benefits that all county workers receive.
If Local 1028 strikes, it would be the biggest labor action in Will County since 780 machinists struck at the Caterpillar plant in Joliet. That strike began May 1, 2012, and lasted for 16 weeks.

Plug To Be Pulled On Stricken Florida Nuke
Disabled by bungled repair work more tan three years ago, Duke Energy's Crystal River nuclear power plant will not be reactivated, company officials have concluded.
The plant in Citrus County on Florida's west coast will become he first in the Southeastern U. S. to close.
Four coal-fired generators will remain in place at the Crystal River site and the company is considering whether to build a new natural gas generator to replace the energy that the 900-megawatt CR3 nuke has produced since it opened in 1977.
Problems began in 2009 when company officials decided to economize on some necessary repairs. As the Tampa Bay Times reports today, that was a bad decision:
The work is relatively routine, having been performed successfully at dozens of plants across the country. But two things distinguished Progress' handling of the work. Progress self-managed the steam generator replacement rather than hire one of the two companies all the other U.S. utilities used to oversee that work. The idea was to save money.
But more problems followed.
In fall of 2009, as workers began the project, they cracked the reactor's 42-inch thick concrete containment building. They repaired the wall only to discover their efforts had cracked the wall again. The 36-year-old plant has been idle since.
Here's more on what TBT called a "DIY repair" in an October, 2011, story.
Since then, Duke Energy has been trying to decide whether to revive the plant or cut losses and shut it down. Duke CEO Jim Rogers said Tuesday shut-down is the right choice.
How long does it take to dismantle a nuclear power plant? In this case, 40 to 60 years,. according to the Times report. And that's a good thing, at least for Duke Energy's ratepayers, who send their checks to Progress Energy Florida. Waiting that long will allow the utility's decommissioning fund to grow enough to cover all the costs. The current cost estimate is more than $900 million.
