Anyone ever convicted of a sex offense or a felony within the past ten years is no longer eligible to drive a taxi in the city of Oswego. Lawmakers passed the new legislation Monday night in an effort to increase safety. But as YNN's Candace Hopkins found out, there was a surprising amount of opposition to the change.
OSWEGO, N.Y. -- Monday evening, Oswego's Common Councilors voted seven to zero, passing a new law to keep sex offenders, and anyone with a felony on their record from the past ten years, from driving a cab.
"We've got an obligation to protect the public interest. We already do it other places, we prohibit them from going around schools, we prohibit them from being around parks, this is just another step," said Oswego Common Councilor Michael Todd.
The move came after city officials discovered that several local taxi cab drivers have had trouble with the law, including two men who have served time for violent sex offenses.
"It was an issue that was brought to our attention, quite honestly we were shocked it wasn't a state law," said Todd.
But before lawmakers could vote, the public was given the opportunity to comment on the law. Several people spoke out against it, including a representative from an Albany organization that defends convicts against employment discrimination.
"It's any offense in general, people should not be discriminated against. If a person is going to be denied employment or denied a license it should be based on a rational reason and factual information, it shouldn't be on fear and prejudice and myths," said Jeremy Zielinski, Founder of the Workforce Advocacy Center.
But Zielinksi admitted he, himself, has been convicted of a sex offense which is why he is defending their rights, and says his group now plans to file a lawsuit against the city.
"We will seek to forbid the city from enforcing or applying it and we will seek the maximum amount of penalties and the maximum amount of attorneys fees," said Zielinski.
Mayor Gillen says he does intend to sign the law, and once that happens the new restrictions will go into effect immediately.
The new law also raises the fee to apply for a cab driver's license from $10 to $100 to help cover the background check costs. Once the change goes into effect every driver in Oswego will be required to reapply for their license.

Museum of Menstruation basement digs close
The Museum of Menstruation (MUM) has closed the doors of its New Carrollton, MD, facility, and can now only be visited via the web. MUM founder Harry Finley had maintained his eclectic collection in the basement of his modest ranch home, opening by appointment to the public on weekends. "I am looking for a public location after four years of having MUM in my house," Harry informed us.
The decision to close the basement operation was made by Harry partly due to his concern for public safety. "One thing that amazes me is that nothing bad ever happened -- no one slipped on the stairs and sued me, etc. That concerned me a few months before I closed; I felt I was tempting fate." Also, he holds down a full time job with the government, and couldn't offer weekday hours with any regularity.
While physical tours are no longer available, there are still several ways to enjoy the Museum of Menstruation. "Right now, copies of eight of the menarche booklets from MUM are part of a national traveling exhibit about women's health, which pleases me," Harry said. "A German women's magazine is seeking help right now for an article about menstruation, and it's probable that a well known women's cable network will do something on the museum."

|Meet the New Sableux

Meet the New Sableux
Lucas Przybysz, Sableux Salon & Spa's assistant general manager
Lucas Przybysz, Sableux Salon & Spa's assistant general manager
Salons are in the business of revamping their clients' looks every day. But, as they say, the cobbler's children have no shoes.
Sableux Salon & Spa opened for business in Crestview Hills 13 years ago, and hasn't been renovated or remodeled since. That is, until now.
According to Lucas Przybysz, Sableux's assistant general manager, a major renovation of the salon began in November 2011 and the finished product is ready to be revealed. They're hosting a Grand Re-Opening event on September 29 where, Przybysz says, his team will be "ready to debut Sableux to the world."
The remodel features several new changes. Przbysz says they've "added custom-designed hairstylist stations, the floors were completely changed, the walls have a complete new color, new lighting, and all the décor has been updated and changed." The salon's lobby also got a new look, complete with a new front desk, sitting area and additional shelves to feature products and retail items.
The spa side of the business also got what Przbysz called an "extreme makeover," with new equipment, bedding and décor. With the new modern look, Przbysz is looking forward to an improved experience for clients and boosted morale for the staff.
In attendance at the Grand Re-Opening event will be celebrity stylist, George Papanikolas. He's styled stars such as Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Nicole Richie and was recently featured in in Lucky and Vanity Fairmagazines. Event attendees will have the opportunity to meet him and learn styling tips from presentations he'll be offering throughout the evening.
Sableux will also feature models at the event, who will display styles and make-up of old and new Hollywood. The theme of the event is "red carpet" so the models will be wearing gowns from Fabulous Bridal and faux fur overlays from Donna Salyers' Fabulous Furs.
Valuable prizes will also be up for grabs at the event. "We will be giving away not only free samples, but hundreds of free products," explains Przbysz. Guests will be able to meet with manufacturers and get some great deals on retail products such as Joico, Sebastian, Wella, Moroccan Oil, OPI, and Clinical Care. The goodies don't stop there. You can also enjoy a complimentary wine bar, appetizers and a DJ.
Przbysz says that the event is prepared to host 500 people. So, if you'd like to attend, all you need to do it call the salon at (859) 341-1656 and RSVP with the desk staff.

There are three ways a miscarriage can be treated:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Success rates:
Some treatments work better than others. It depends on which type of miscarriage you have.
1. Incomplete miscarriage:
When the pregnancy tissue is already passing on its own
2. Fetal or embryonic demise:
When the pregnancy has stopped growing but is not passing on its own
3. Anembryonic pregnancy or "empty sac":
When the pregnancy stopped growing before the fetus developed
Changing from one treatment to another:
What to expect if you "watch and wait":
When you wait for the cramping and bleeding to happen on its own, you won't know when it will start. The cramping and bleeding is usually heavier than a period. The heavy bleeding is not dangerous and usually lasts from 3 to 5 hours. Lighter bleeding often lasts 1 to 2 weeks and it may stop and start a few times. Ibuprofen (up to 800 milligrams every 8 hours) and a heating pad can help relieve painful cramps.
What to expect with misoprostol:
You will place the misoprostol pills in your vagina at a time you choose. Cramps usually start 2-6 hours after placing the pills and last for 3-5 hours. Pain medicine can be used for cramps. Ibuprofen (up to 800 milligrams every 8 hours) and/or a prescription narcotic may be used. A heating pad may help relieve the cramps. Some women get nausea, diarrhea or chills soon after using misoprostol. This should get better in a few hours. Taking the Ibuprofen before taking the misoprostol helps prevent some of the side effects. The bleeding may be much heavier than a period. This heavy bleeding is not risky; it means the treatment is working. Lighter bleeding often lasts 1 to 2 weeks and it may stop and start a few times.
What to expect with a suction procedure:
Before the procedure you will be given pain medication to help with the cramping. The beginning of the procedure is like a Pap smear or routine GYN exam. Local anesthesia is injected around the opening of the uterus, the cervix. Next, the cervix is gently stretched and the pregnancy is removed with a small plastic device. The procedure usually takes less than 10 minutes. After resting for 15-30 minutes you will be able to go home. Most women are able to return to their usual activities the next day.
Care Following Your Miscarriage
You can contact your physician at any time. You should call if:
At your follow-up visit your health care provider will make sure that the miscarriage is over by using an ultrasound, a blood test, or both. Once the miscarriage is over you can begin trying to get pregnant again as soon as you feel ready. If you do not want to get pregnant right away, ask your doctor about birth control.
The follow-up visit is also a chance to talk with your health care provider if you are feeling very emotional following the miscarriage. It is common to wonder what caused the miscarriage, and you must remember that you did not make it happen. A miscarriage is nature's way of ending a pregnancy that would not have been healthy. Miscarriage is not caused by daily activities like stress, sports or sexual activity.

Schmid, Charles--Songs about
One of the songs that was used regarding the Charles Schmid murder case was "Pied Piper" by the Changing Times. This song first appeared in the Life magazine article, March 4, 1966 about these Tucson murders. This article can be found on a web at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kVtIuZWfsUa9xBH5s7l_YcW8L2dr1M6TdVM1HghGxg0/edit?pli=1. We do not have this song in the PCPL collection.
The only lyrics we can find for the song are the beginning lines. (As mentioned in Life and the web site.):
Hey come on,
babe follow me I'm the Pied Piper,
follow me I'm the Pied Piper
And I'll show you where it's at.
The Life magazine article became the basis of a book by Don Moser and Jerry Cohen, The Pied Piper of Tucson. We have this book in our Arizona Collection at the Main Library.
The Pima County Public Library does not have nor can we find a song about this murder case called "One Foot Sticking Out of the Grave."
"Pied Piper of Tucson.' Life Magazine. Don Moser and Jerry Cohen, March 4, 1966.

The Tuttle Lumber True Value store on San Antonio Street in historic Lockhart Texas — straight down the road from one of the prettiest courthouses in the state — has a colorful past.
And the owners, with an assist from the Chicago-based co-op, are working to ensure that it is well designed for the future.
Originally a 1950's-era grocery store, then a True Value hardware store, then an Ace hardware store, then a vacant shell for three years, the site was finally converted to its current form as Tuttle Lumber True Value in mid-2010.
Tuttle Lumber's Don Gilbreath is the latest owner to breathe life into the building. Founded in nearby (18 miles) San Marcos in 1950, Tuttle Lumber is a contractor-focused lumberyard with a small hardware component. Gilbreath had kicked around the idea of building fresh in Lockhart, but the economy and the market pushed back, eventually leading to a more conservative strategy of purchasing the vacant building.
Another thing he always wanted to do was sign up for the Destination True Value format.
"I remember the Atlanta market in 2007 when they first rolled out the concept," Gilbreath told Home Channel News. "I walked down there on the floor, and entered into that model store and said to myself, 'I gotta have one of these.'" Asked what struck him specifically, Gilbreath offered a holistic answer. "The whole package is what grabbed me," he said. "The lighting, the colors and the feel."
In the store, some design features are more pronounced than others. A wide aisle up the middle is intersected by another to lead the customer through the store and encourage browsing and shopping. The trademark brown and off-yellow checkered floor pattern distinguishes certain aisles. Short aisles create a plethora of endcap opportunities. And in the middle of it all: a bargain bin for treasure hunters.
The end result is a store that seems much larger than its 9,000 sq. ft.
"True Value has done a very good job creating that concept and obviously is continuing to improve on it," he said.
Tuttle Lumber is also an early adopter of the True Value ship-to-store e-commerce program, allowing customers to buy online and pick up in the store (or have it delivered to their home at a higher price.)
Tuttle Lumber's two locations are very different from each other, and complement each other, Gilbreath said. In San Marcos, contractors make up 85% to 90% of sales. In Lockhart, retail DIY makes up 85% to 90% of sales.
While San Marcos has a suburban feel and competes with all the big players along the busy I-35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio, Lockhart is described as historic and nostalgic and somewhat rural. "Lockhart still has the feeling of Mayberry," he said.

The only man ever to win a batting title in three different decades, George Brett was among baseball's elite hitters for virtually his entire career. In fact, a strong argument could be made that Brett was the greatest hitting third baseman of all time. He didn't have as much power as either Mike Schmidt or Eddie Mathews, and he didn't hit for quite as high a batting average as Wade Boggs. Nevertheless, Brett combined hitting for both power and average better than any other third sacker in baseball history. He hit 317 home runs during his career, accumulated 137 triples, and knocked in 1,595 runs – tying him with Schmidt for the most runs batted in by a third baseman. Brett also compiled a .305 career batting average, and his 665 doubles, 3,154 hits, and 1,583 runs scored are all records for third basemen. Brett's .390 batting average in 1980 still stands as the highest mark posted over the course of an entire season by any player since Ted Williams hit .406 for the Red Sox in 1941 (Tony Gwynn batted .394 for San Diego during the strike-shortened 1994 campaign). And Brett was a tremendous clutch performer throughout his career, compiling a lifetime .337 batting average in postseason play, with 10 home runs and 23 RBIs in 166 at-bats.
Born in Glen Dale, West Virginia on May 15, 1953, George Howard Brett was part of a big baseball family that also included older brothers Ken, John, and Bobby. Ken spent 13 years in the major leagues pitching for several different teams, while John and Bobby both played briefly in the minor leagues. The Brett family moved to the Midwest when George was still a young boy, but they eventually settled in the Los Angeles suburb of El Segundo. After graduating from El Segundo High School in 1971, George was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the second round of that year's amateur free-agent draft with the 29th overall pick.
Brett began his professional career at shortstop, but he had difficulty fielding balls hit to his right, prompting a shift to third base shortly thereafter. He spent the better part of three years in the minors before finally being called up by Kansas City in August of 1973. The 20-year-old third baseman experienced little in the way of success in his 40 plate appearances, compiling a batting average of only .125.
Brett continued to struggle at the plate during the early stages of the 1974 campaign after winning the starting third base job in spring training. However, he worked feverishly with Kansas City hitting instructor Charlie Lau during the All-Star break to correct some errors in his swing that opposing pitchers had been exploiting. Lau taught the lefthanded-hitting Brett to be more selective at the plate, to wait longer on the pitcher's offering, and to hit the ball to all fields, on all types of pitches. Heeding his instructor's advice, Brett finished the season with a very respectable .282 batting average, although he hit only two home runs and knocked in just 47 runs.
Brett's development as a hitter continued the following year, when he batted .308 and increased his offensive production by hitting 11 home runs and driving in 89 runs. The third baseman also led the American League with 13 triples and 195 hits. It was in 1976, though, that Brett became a star. He led the Royals to the A.L. West title for the first of three consecutive times by capturing the batting title with a mark of .333. Brett also scored 94 runs, stole 21 bases, and led the league with 14 triples and 215 hits, en route to earning the first of 13 straight All-Star Game nominations and finishing second in the league MVP balloting. Although Kansas City lost to New York in the ALCS for the first of three consecutive times, Brett gave an early indication as to the type of clutch performer he would end up being throughout his career, batting .444 and tying up Game Five with a three-run homer in the top of the eighth inning. However, the Yankees eventually prevailed, winning the pennant on Chris Chambliss' leadoff homer in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Brett performed extremely well for the Royals in each of the next two seasons, helping them advance to the playoffs each year. He batted .312 in 1977, scored 105 runs, and increased his power numbers to 22 home runs and 88 runs batted in. Injuries limited the Kansas City third baseman to 128 games the following year, but he still managed to hit .294, steal a career-high 23 bases, and lead the league with 45 doubles.
Although the Royals failed to advance to the postseason in 1979, Brett had one of his finest seasons. In addition to batting .329, hitting 23 home runs, driving in 107 runs, scoring 119 others, and compiling 42 doubles, he led the league with 20 triples and 212 hits. By surpassing 20 homers, 20 triples, and 20 doubles, he became only the sixth player in major league history to top the 20-mark in each category in the same season. Brett finished third in the league MVP voting.
The Pine Tar Game
The 1980 season was a magical one for Brett. Although various physical ailments forced him to sit out 45 of his team's games, Brett flirted with the .400-mark for much of the season, at one point compiling a 30-game hitting streak. He finished the year with a .390 batting average, and he also established new career highs with 24 home runs and 118 runs batted in, while leading the league with a .454 on-base percentage and a .664 slugging percentage. The Royals captured their fourth A.L. West title in five years, and Brett was named league MVP in overwhelming fashion. The Royals then faced the Yankees again in the ALCS, but they came out on top this time, sweeping their old nemesis in three straight games. Brett delivered the decisive blow, hitting a three-run upper-deck homer off Yankee relief ace Goose Gossage in the top of the seventh inning of Game Three to provide the margin of victory. The Kansas City third baseman revealed the "team-first" mentality he carried with him throughout his career when he stated after the contest, "I know I captured a lot of the media's attention this past season, but the Royals have a team built on teamwork, not on individuals." Kansas City subsequently lost the World Series to the Phillies in six games, but Brett could hardly be faulted. He batted .375 during the Fall Classic, with one home run and three runs batted in.
Numerous injuries caused Brett to miss significant playing time in three of the next four seasons. Still, he remained one of the American League's best hitters whenever he was in the lineup, batting over .300 three times, topping 20 homers twice, and leading the league with a .563 slugging percentage in 1983. The Royals advanced to the postseason twice during that period, but they were quickly eliminated in three games each time, leaving the extremely competitive Brett to wonder if he was ever going to win the world championship he so desperately craved. Longtime teammate Jamie Quirk spoke of Brett's competitive drive when he said, "If you've ever played golf with him, you'd know he's so competitive that he can't stand to lose. He can't sit down and play a card game that he doesn't want to beat you. That's the way he played baseball. If he had to, he'd take it in his own hands and win the ballgame."
Brett's dream of winning a championship was finally fulfilled in 1985, a season that was among the very best of his career. In addition to hitting a career high 30 home runs,
Brett knocked in 112 runs, scored 108 others, batted .335, and led the league with a .585 slugging percentage. He finished the regular season in style, hitting five home runs and driving in nine runs in Kansas City's final six games, to enable his team to sneak into the playoffs. The third baseman also improved his defense, which was somewhat suspect earlier in his career. By committing only 15 errors in the field (easily his lowest total in any full season at third base), Brett earned his only Gold Glove Award. Brett's exceptional all-around performance led the Royals to the division title even though they lacked another big bat in their lineup. He finished second to New York's Don Mattingly in the league MVP voting. Brett then led his team past the favored Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS by batting .348, hitting three home runs, and driving in five runs, despite receiving a total of seven walks from Toronto pitching. The Royals then overcame a three-games-to-one deficit against St. Louis in the World Series to capture their only world championship. Brett batted .370 during the Series.
Brett's extraordinary performance during the 1985 postseason was really nothing unusual for him. Perhaps the greatest clutch hitter of his generation, Brett established LCS records with nine home runs and a .728 slugging average over the course of his career. Those are the numbers that prompted longtime teammate John Wathan to say, "When the game was on the line, we all wanted George at the plate."
Second baseman Frank White, who spent his entire career playing with Brett, stated, "Any time you can play with a Hall of Famer, then it is something special to remember. I've seen great players make great plays many times. But he was the greatest clutch hitter I've played with or against."
Sparky Anderson managed Cincinnati to four National League pennants and two world championships before piloting the Detroit Tigers to the A.L. flag and World Series title in 1984. Speaking of Brett, the Hall of Fame manager noted, "I've always loved the way he played the game of baseball, and I also thought he was the most dangerous hitter I ever faced – certainly in the American League. Back with Cincinnati, I used to walk the Giants' Willie McCovey all the time because he could just kill you. I thought I'd never treat another hitter that way, but I wound up doing it with George."
The 1985 World Series turned out to be Brett's last postseason appearance. The Royals failed to advance to the playoffs in any of his eight remaining years with the team, as Brett continued to battle numerous injuries. He eventually moved across the diamond to play first base in 1988, and serving in that capacity seemed to help Brett, who hit 24 homers, knocked in 103 runs, and batted .306. Brett had his last big year in 1990, winning his third batting title with a mark of .329 and leading the league with 45 doubles.
Brett spent most of the next three seasons as Kansas City's designated hitter, reaching the 3,000 hit plateau late in the 1992 campaign. He retired at the conclusion of the following year as Kansas City's all-time leader in every major statistical category except stolen bases.
Over the course of his career, Brett batted over .300 on 11 separate occasions, hit more than 20 homers eight times, surpassed 100 runs batted in and 100 runs scored four times each, topped 200 hits twice, and accumulated as many as 40 doubles five times. In addition to leading the league in batting average three times, Brett topped the circuit in hits, triples, and slugging percentage three times each, in doubles twice, and in on-base percentage once. He finished in the top three of the league MVP balloting four times during his career.
Perhaps Bob Costas summed up George Brett best when he said, "He (Brett) was
clearly one of the best players of his generation, but he had a style that spanned the generations. He looked and carried himself like a baseball player and could have been at home in any era. He was the kind of guy who conveyed something to fans that's very important, which was that he thought of himself first and foremost as a baseball player. There was nothing in the world that he would rather be doing than playing baseball every day when he was on the field."

"My wife and I are so glad we chose Rabbi Mayersohn to officiate our wedding. He did an amazing job with the ceremony, bringing just the right amounts of meaning, humor, and spirituality. We felt that his every word was genuine and from the heart, like he was truly on our team, pulling for our marriage and our life together.
We received so many compliments from our friends - Jewish and non-Jewish - and several commented that it was their favorite ceremony that they'd ever seen performed. Also, our pre-marriage meetings with the rabbi were an absolute pleasure. He made us feel entirely at ease from the first hello to the big day, and was always available in between to answer any questions we had. We'd highly recommend Rabbi Mayersohn to officiate any wedding that has a Jewish component. "

2/3 cup
5 tablespoons
unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup
chocolate chips
1/4 cup
white sugar
1/4 teaspoon
large marshmallows
4 cups
2% milk
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
Okay, I didn't really understand this hot chocolate recipe. I thought it was going to be something different because of the name. It was just hot chocolate. Plus, I have no idea why but the marshmallows I used would not melt. Maybe, the marshmallows need to be "homemade" like the submitter suggested using. That may have given it a differen texture. I normally use recipes where I can make a mix ahead of time of making the cocoa. This one requires sitting over a stove and watching it. There is nothing wrong with it, but it's just cocoa. It's not creamy or special. I made 3 servings using the calculate button. It all fit in a small pot and I am sure it will all dissapear with some whipped topping or some other fancy addition. One day, should I come across homemade marshmallows, I may try it again.
I'm sure homemade marshmallows would be great in this but I didn't have any and my daughter was wanting something chocolate-y that she could make so we used store bought. It was a tasty hot chocolate. My little one got a bit creative and subbed Theo Chipotle spice Sipping Chocolate for the chocolate chips. She's such a smarty :) It was fantastic with that. Would have been good with just the reg. Choco chips too but yum with the Chipotle!

My First Outdoor Lead (50) - Confessions of a Cowardby nicolaw Dec/2007
This article has been read 6,625 times
I am a coward. Stuff scares me. Flying, tunnels, work, not having work, eels. Life is scary enough. I don't need to measure my own mortality by stretching it thin against a wall of rock. Which doesn't explain why I found myself at Bamford Edge looking up at a crag all grey and rough as a rhino's arse with rock piled up like kebab meat stacked on a spit. Grit: God's own rock. I wasn't looking to be a hero. I climbed because it was the closest I could get to being a child again. I was rubbish: a happy trier. Life just never felt safe enough on solid ground to want to challenge it with too much altitude. Why I ended up at this particular corner of rock, with a wall of friends behind me and no way out other than up, is still something I am trying to figure out.
I had covered my head with my fleece as an emergency midge helmet and sported a kind of clanking hula skirt of shiny gear and coloured strips of material that, used correctly, I knew could save me from myself. Progression in climbing seems to have its own momentum. Your life played back to you but in rock-time. When do we stop being kids? Is there ever one defining moment? You start out having fun, carefree and unselfconscious - climbing because you like the feeling of moving your body over a bit of rock. And then it all gets so bloody serious. Simple joys become hard won pleasures. Before you know it, you're in a metal hula-skirt and midge helmet, talking ethics and etiquette - hoping no one is watching you, disapproving. I was to lead an easy 8-metre corner route that any normal person could solo in a sumo suit with lard for boots. With encouragement being poured down from above like a concrete overcoat, I began by shimmying myself up and into the first comfortable bridging position. Nuts and wires didn't mean anything to me until I placed one.They were weird, improbable looking things out of their natural habitat. Like beach-stranded sea creatures. I didn't get them. I didn't get that they could really protect me, so I pushed my first one in cynically, jiggled it round a bit and then suddenly the rock bit down hard and wouldn't give it back to me. I was grateful. A few feet higher. Was I feeling the fabled buzz? Not really. Mainly discomfort scattered with moments of muted pleasure when a piece of gear fitted well: like the feeling I used to get when I got a sum right in maths homework. Qualified pleasure. I hated maths. I reached the top of the route and lay sprawled, politely waiting for the buzz to hit me. Nothing. I remember walking away still feeling like a coward. It certainly hadn't made me braver. Life still scared me. It wouldn't be until later on that evening when I thought back on the day and first felt a weird tingle, like the sting of sunburn when it starts to kick in way after dark. It was uncomfortable but there was a certain complicated pleasure, and we all know those complicated pleasures are always the ones to look out for. Was this what climbing for grown-ups was all about?

DALLAS–This month, at the New York Home Fashions Market, Feizy's partnership with Poetic Wanderlust by Tracy Porter will expand into the license's first line of kitchen, accent and bath rugs. The rugs will feature Porter's whimsical yet elegant distinctive designs and will be constructed of printed PET. The entire line of smaller printed PET pieces will also coordinate with a selection of Poetic Wanderlust by Feizy Rugs cotton rugs that come in standard sizes. Poetic Wanderlust is Porter's brand that includes a wide range of products including tabletop items, pillows, poufs, ottomans and wall art.
In addition, Feizy will debut the Strathmore collection of handhooked wool area and accent rugs, which uses a construction and dying technique that gives each piece a tie-dyed effect.
Two new palettes in Feizy's popular machine-made polypropylene construction are also being introduced, as well as several new multi-texture polypropylene indoor/outdoor creels. The breadth of colors offered across collections allows buyers to tie bath, accent, pillows, throws, quilts and full-size rugs together for a coordinated look.
"Our designers have been hard at work creating so many inspiring new collections," said John Feizy, CEO. "The reception to this year's introductions has been strong and we continue to forge ahead with our commitment to stay ahead of the game, leading the industry with respect to innovations in design, construction and color."
The company, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, shows in the 230 Fifth Avenue building, on the ninth floor.

Lettuce will always be crisp, hamburger buns perfect and full, cake light and fluffy. Ice cream is never melting, unless that was the point. As good as the food may be made to look, however, actually eating that specific example is probably hazardous to your health. For starters, the food may have been coated in shellac to ensure that it stays looking good no matter how many takes are done. This is somewhat reasonable, as heat from any lamps being used can cause things to wilt. If the food comes in standard proportions, they may have to keep those proportions due to Truth in Advertising laws... but they can still engage in trickery. Arrange the items on the plate so that (at the angle chosen for the shot), where the view is blocked by other food, there's nothing behind it - but people won't realise that! Cut a wedge out of the hamburger patty, so you can spread it out a bit, making it look wider (this one's almost universal in fast food advertisements). Use camera angles and zooms that make it look larger than it actually is - essentially, the Hitler Cam as applied to food. And you can always just put those standard proportions on a really small plate. For a good example of the last of those tricks, watch a Dairy Queen ad for their Peanut Buster Parfait and compare how large it appears with what you actually get in the restaurant. You will notice that you rarely see an actor's hands in the picture to give you a sense of scale. The items used for photo layouts and "beauty shots" are often not even edible. Ice cream sundaes are often constructed of scoops of lard or mashed potato covered in motor oil, or other toxic-yet-pretty trickery. Likewise, "steam" rising from "hot" food is often smoke from a hidden cigarette, and ice cubes will really be deftly sculpted chunks of acrylic. Note that, in general, truth in advertising laws require that the product being advertised should be the same as the one shown (though some of the tricks described above are still applicable), so, for example in a commercial for chocolate syrup, the syrup will be real, but the ice cream onto which is is poured is just as likely to be made of plasticinenote . The cereal shown in the bowl is, indeed, the product, but the pouring stream of milk is almost always watered down glue.

Behind the MISSING series The summer the movie Snakes on a Plane was all over the news, my husband and kids began riffing one afternoon on what other creatures would be even more terrifying to encounter midflight. One of my husband's suggestions: crying babies. Dozens and dozens of crying babies. At the time, I'd been toying around with the notion of a book about a group of lost and confused kids showing up out of place, mysteriously, but I was having trouble figuring out how to explsee more

Ever had to run to the store for 1 little item,
maybe it was a gallon of milk, or a couple eggs because you were in the
middle of baking brownies or a cake... But, when you got to the store
you saw the chips on sale and a few other things that you needed or
wanted and by the time you got the heck out of there.. you'd spent $20!
(or more). Learning to substitute using items you have on hand really
saves time and money...

How were the Old Testament saints saved?
by Matt Slick
The OT saints were saved the same way the New Testament saints were/are saved--by faith.
For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." 4Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. 5But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness, 6just as David also speaks of the blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works: 7"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered. 8"Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account" (Rom. 4:3-8).
As you can see, the Bible tells us that Abraham was justified by faith (see Rom. 5:1 and Eph. 2:8-9). That is, his faith is reckoned as righteousness, v. 4 above. They were saved by faith in the Messiah in whom they were trusting. Only, for them it was a trust in the future Messiah. They knew He was coming as had been prophesied.
Also, the Holy Spirit was there in the OT times the same as the NT times. Consider Psalm 51:11, "Do not cast me away from Thy presence, And do not take Thy Holy Spirit from me."
God did not change how He saved people in the New Testament. It has always been by faith. In the case of the OT people, they looked ahead in time to the Messiah. We look back to Him and see the cross.

Buckeyes Strike Back To Tie The Score at 1-1
BIG RAPIDS - The Buckeyes dumped the puck deep into the Bulldogs' zone and then kept hammering away at goaltender Pat Nagle before team captain and right-winger Peter Boyd finally drove one in, top shelf, for a goal.
Boyd was assisted by center John Albert at the 5:45 mark to make Ferris' lead a short-lived one.

OAO Mechel (MTL/P), Russia's largest producer of coal for steelmaking, will probably see its preferred shares added into the MSCI Russia index at a scheduled rebalancing May 16, boosting the stock, UralSib Financial Corp. said.
Mechel (MTLR) preferred shares "are likely to be added" to the index after the Justice family sold $528 million of the stock in a secondary offering last month, increasing the free float, said Dmitry Smolin, an analyst in Moscow at UralSib, in a note today.
The result could be a "very positive short-term catalyst for the stock," Smolin said. UralSib recommends investors buy Mechel preferred stock with a price estimate of $15 an American depositary receipt. They closed at $9.08 yesterday in New York.
Each depositary receipt is worth half a preferred stock.

Semi-Auto(nomous) Weapons 2:30 pm / 14 December 2012 by Neverfox, at Instead of a Blog
Maybe, just maybe, after the prayers* go out and we turn towards the inevitable discussion about what happened and what needs to be done, people will step outside of the usual, calcified scripts and realize that there are more possibilities than (racist/sexist) fear-mongering government gun control schemes and (racist/sexist) cock-swinging gun fantasies. That American-style gun culture is messed up is not a reason for more legislation and that our approach to social regulation is messed up is not a reason for American-style gun culture.
I'm pretty sure that no amount of modification of our gun policy (in any direction) is going to fix things as long as we live in a society where anger and despair are equally foreseeable responses to conditions that seem unlikely to ease. We probably won't end the spectacular forms of senseless tragedy without ending the tragically systematic senselessness.

Hi folks,
I should say at the start that I am a christian, but don't hold it against me! I am always interested in what other people think, and enjoing reading the posts on this website. So i'd like to throw some questions out to get more insight into atheism. Your help is appreciated.
Qn: If there were two universes, one with a God, and the other without, which one would you want to live in and why?
Qn: If scientific theory began to support theism (more than atheism) would you change your position
(like Antony Flew)?
Try really hard to avoid answers like: 'that would never happen.. etc.'
Qn: Would you describe your position as "There definitely is no God" or "Naturalism does not need a divine being and so God is improbable" or something else?
All respectful discussion welcome!
Views: 2011
@ Trevor
1.Interesting that you are assuring me that there is nothing in my post that necessitates a dying God for me. On what basis do you give such assurance?
2. Thanks for letting me know your standard. So your standard is treat others as you would want to be treated. So lets check out the your good guy question if we look at your own standard. I presume you would not want others to:
a. Lie to you.
b. Steel from you.
c. Cheat you in any way.
d. hate you
e. Act unkindly towards you
lets stop at 5. So using your own standard, have you ever:
1. lied?
2. stolen anything, including time at work etc.?
3. Cheated anyone in any way?
4. hated any one?
5. Acted unkindly to anyone?
Thats just the negitives, then you could ask if you ever failed to do the positive side of your rules. If your honest, I guess you have atleast broke 4 out of 5 of your own standards. So are you a good guy by your own standards? May be you need a dying God too :-)
So I gotta ask this pleeeeze.....
As fallible beings all of us have committed the social crimes of lying or acting unkindly. In your "mind's eye" these infractions warrant eternal damnation and subsequent salvation to rectify the situation?
If this is your and/or your god's criteria then I certainly want no participation in that game. I might suggest the services of a professional. It's not a god(s) you need. :^ )
Yeah I didn't think this would go well. I was really interested in reading people's responses to this too, but then I saw that they were all like "blah blah blabbity-blah, hrrrrrm?" and I was like "Jesus fuck." So dead horse, but:
Qn 1: Obviously without. Gods are fickle tyrants, flood the planet whenever they have a mood swing. Nobody wants to live in a world run by a being like that.
Qn 2: Can't really answer this question, phrasing's a bit inadequate (as well as use of Antony Flew as an example. Come on buddy)
Qn 3: Have to lean towards the latter, but with the requirement that the parameters of "God" be better defined.
Trevor: ""I would venture to say that more good has been done in the name of God than in the name of athiesm by several million percent.""
Another mantra spoken by many theists. I will be glad if I can clarify Atheism for atleast one Theist. Most creationists think that Atheism is a religion, some even say that Evolution is one. But before one does that one should take care to read what Atheism means,
Atheism = rejection of particular beliefs.
Lets take a hypothetical example: If you reject the general Muslim beliefs (like you should circumcise your toddlers and control your women etc. etc.), you are an Atheist with respect to Islam. Now lets assume that even Bush is an Atheist with respect to Islam (lets call it M_atheist). If tomorrow Bush gets access to America's Nuke switch and launches a missile killing all Muslims, would we then say that Bush killed the Muslims in the name of M_atheism? Should we then assume that all M_atheists think in the same manner?
Sure, some M_atheists might have a strong hatred for Islam, but there is certainly no M_atheism agenda asking its followers to hate Islam. There is no central theme or ideology of M_atheism. Its plainly rejection of Muslim beliefs.
On the other hand, Christianity has a book which defines how its followers should behave. The book is contradictory in nature and one can interpret it in different ways.
Now, lets look at what Bible has to say about Women:
"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." (Genesis 3:16)
"Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die." (Eccles. 25:22)
"And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." (Leviticus 21:9)
"Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman." (Eccles. 25:13)
"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." (I Corinthians 11:3)
"For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (I Corinthians 11:8-9)
"Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14)
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything." (Ephesians 5:22-24)
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live... (Exodus 22:18-20)
Now there is one verse in Bible that asks men to treat their wives with respect. But with the amount of verses against women, it is easy to use the Bible to justify oppression against them. I like when you say that Bible is not like a Scientific book and not be taken literally, but unfortunately most Christians do not share the same sentiment. Due to this we have horrific events like the Witch hunts which resulted in an estimated 40,000 to 100,000 executions.
There are even attempts at spreading Christianity flavoured version of Science with entire museums dedicated to it made with the help of your donated money.
Bible is just another book written by men for dominance over other men and their women. It shows in the literally discriminative verses of the Bible. Ofcourse, you can say that Jesus said to love your neighbour. But lets not forget that Jesus also said "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me."
If all Christians decide not to teach their children that Bible is the word of God and treat Bible just as any other book on philosophy having as much importance in one's life as "The Alchemist" has, no one would blame Christianity for crazy fanaticism of handful of its members. Its the humble and wishful thinking Christians like you, who shield the women torturing fanatics. Their belief in the Bible is strengthened by the fact that most of the World thinks that the Bible is the literal word of God.
Very informative Alex.
Ofcourse, you can say that Jesus said to love your neighbour. But lets not forget that Jesus also said "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me."
Pretty much sums up my views on christian morals. Cherry pick the bits that make them sound good and ignore the bits that dont....sooooo moral, lol.
But you have to read that in context! There has to be a context in which slaughtering people for not believing in Jesus is the right and moral thing
steve.. if you are going to tell me that in any contect it is right and moral to slaughter a 9 year olf then you should come tell me that in person.. while my son who is 9 is standing there.. i will let him watch as i shit kick ur ass ;).. teach him real morals haha
What logical context could there POSSIBLY be where slaughtering someone for not believing in "Jesus" is right and moral?!?!
I am sure Steve using sarcasm to show how some deluded Christians might still fail to get the point!!
He clearly was. Someone advocating the position wouldn't likely use the word "Slaughtering"
Yeah, the internet is bad at conveying emotions. But I guess it's another proof for Poe's Law
Qn: If there were two universes, one with a God, and the other without, which one would you want to live in and why?
Humm, one God... since I was a muslim... I use to think that monotheism is more logical than other religions...
if there are 2 universes, one with a God, and the other without.. I'll live in the one without...
and why? because I wanna have my peace of mind.....
I dont like to see those followers of Abraham killing each other..
See, what God did to Palestine...the descendants of Ismail and the descendants of Isaac are killing each other in the Holy land! that's what I really really hate!
Qn: If scientific theory began to support theism (more than atheism) would you change your position
(like Antony Flew)?
If scientific theory began to support theism I'll change my position... but wait! what kind of theism? you mean christianity?... I respect christianity after all :) but I think deism well be a good option if I find a scientific theory that support the existence of God. like Voltaire :)
Qn: Would you describe your position as "There definitely is no God" or "Naturalism does not need a divine being and so God is improbable" or something else?
It is difficult to know or to be certain of the existence of God or even his non-existence!
God didnt leave us enough evidence.. I am agnostic.. this is my position.
