Step aside, rabbit ears! Make way for the all-new Leaf Ultimate™, the most powerful indoor antenna yet. The Leaf Ultimate™ features the same incredible design as the classic Leaf®, but now includes a revolutionary digital TV amplifier with a low noise figure and one-of-a-kind RF filtering. What exactly does this mean in terms of performance? It means that the Leaf Ultimate is optimized specifically for TV stations, filtering any additional RF signals that can hinder picture quality. The result? A top-performing indoor antenna that will allow you to receive the top 20 shows for FREE in full high 1080i definition.
An astounding amount of study and engineering went into the design of the Leaf® TV antenna. It wasn't until one of our engineers decided to convert from cable television to over-the-air broadcasting that we realized that there were no high performance indoor antennas on the market. The Leaf® Antenna was designed by experienced antenna engineers who have been designing antennas for the US military for years (see our sister company GreenWave Scientific). Uses USB powering option, unlike anything else. The Leaf Ultimate™ is powered via a USB port located on the amplifier, which allows you to power the amplifier using an open USB port on the back of your TV. The advantage of doing so is that the amplifier will only draw power when the TV is turned on, eliminating parasitic power consumption when the amplifier isn't needed. If you do not have an open USB port on the back of your TV, the Leaf Ultimate™ also includes a power cube that will enable you to power the amplifier using any standard AC wall outlet.

Top notch ptoduct and service from Abt,

About Me Casual User
Comments about Mohu Leaf Ultimate HDTV Antenna - LEAF50:
This is a very impressive antenna to replace cable TV and receive local stations, but if you live in the hilly area of Mundelein and want to receive CBS (ch 2) from Chicago, you may need to spend a little more and upgrade. The service at Abt is great and they allowed for a return and upgrade with no delay or other problems. Although Mohu has a web site where a person can search by zip code to see the channels that a customer can anticipate receiving with the LEAF50, their web page apparently does not account for hilly areas. Abt could help solve this problem by soliciting information from their LEAF50 customers and post a map near the display to illustrate when a customer may be better off with the ore expensive unit.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use it everyday in my dining room
What I was looking for
By Woogs56
from Alpharetta, GA
We decided to ditch the dish, we were paying over $100 per month. Looked for an indoor unit that could pick up towers 30-40 mile away. I mounted this on a window facing south and scanned channels, I received 43 digital channels, I was pretty excited. While looking at the channels I realized I was not getting the local NBC. I moved it up about a foot and a half, scanned again and got 63 channels, NBC included. Many HD channels, all 4 of the majors are HD. When I have time I may move this to the attic and see what happens. I have received no pixilation since I installed the unit. Next step is to get Roku or Apple TV and we will all set. Payback for everything will be less than 2 months........
Great product

Gave this to my son who could get no TV reception in the suburban, hilly area where he lives. This product enables him to get local channels!! Very happy with this.

I have two nice 7-up bodies (so 40mm ID) and I'm only using one right now. I thought maybe I could build a really nice 3-up or 4-up XML light - hopefully with one of George's drivers so I could fine tune the brightness levels.
So, I live in the US - where's (and what) are the best XML 3-up and 4-up boards? I plan to use an HB flex so that I can use my Geomangear batteries.
Anyhoo, suggestions are welcome, thanks

Game Night 1/3: Lightning at RangersSubmitted by pete on January 3, 2006 - 20:26
What a gritty, gutty performance by a tired and undermanned Tampa Bay Lightning led by John Grahame. TB-1 NYR-0 (OT) John Grahame made 36 saves for the shutout while Vaclav Prospal picked countryman Petr Prucha's pocket to deposit the game winning goal late in overtime. Prospal's thievery was made possible by an incredible diving poke check just moments earlier by Paul Ranger on a Michael Nylander breakaway attempt. Ranger played 15:46 of even hockey with two takeaways. Evgeny Artyukhin played a quiet 10:56 as the checking lines were limited in ice time due to newcomers Jim Campbell and Norm Milley joining the team. Ryan Craig was scratched again with a broken toe.

Waste is something we all make every day but often pay little attention to. That's changing, and model programs around the globe show the many different ways a community can strive for, and achieve, zero-waste status.
Scientist-turned-activist Paul Connett, a leading international figure in decades-long battles to fight pollution, has championed efforts to curtail overconsumption and keep industrial toxins out of our air and drinking water and bodies. But he's best known around the world for leading efforts to help communities deal with their waste in sustainable ways—in other words, to eliminate and reuse waste rather than burn it or stow it away in landfills.
In The Zero Waste Solution, Connett profiles the most successful zero-waste initiatives around the world, showing activists, planners, and entrepreneurs how to re-envision their community's waste-handling process—by consuming less, turning organic waste into compost, recycling, reusing other waste, demanding nonwasteful product design, and creating jobs and bringing community members together in the process. The book also exposes the greenwashing behind renewed efforts to promote waste incinerators as safe, nontoxic energy suppliers, and gives detailed information on how communities can battle incineration projects that, even at their best, emit dangerous particles into the atmosphere, many of which remain unregulated or poorly regulated
An important toolkit for anyone interested in creating sustainable communities, generating secure local jobs, and keeping toxic alternatives at bay.

I went off the meds but my Dr. put me back on them and the same thing happened again. I told her that I would refuse to take it anymore. I also had a friend who was on this and it triggered skitzophrenia occurances for him. He was hospitalized for this and he wasn't even a patient of mental illness.

Wedding rings?? (long) Confused !!!
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 01-16-2006 - 2:42pm
My h and I have been talking about getting new wedding bands. Let me give you a little back story. We got married in 95. In 2000 my H stopped wearing his wedding band because he said it was too loose we had it sized 3 or 4 times due to weight loss and gain over the 5 years he did wear the ring. So it had become kind of thin as a result. Anyway, I did not thing anything of it as I felt we had this bond that could not possibly get broken. Talk about love being BLIND!! Anyway, once d-day came around and we were "rebuilding" he started to wear the ring again. Only he had not stop seeing her and it took 7 more months for things to end. During the end when I found my own place and he was begging to come home I had his ring and mine in a storage box. I refused to give it to him and would not wear mine. Itold him he had made a fool out of me and our marriage and the bands did not hold any meaning to him so what should he care..
About 4 months into our real rebuilding he asked me for his ring and asked if i would wear mine. I agreed but to this day I hate the rings! The sparkle they once had is gone! I have not attachment to them as I once did. To be honest it kind of makes me angry when I see his on him. I feel he is only wearing out of guilt now..
During Christmas he bought me a emerald and dimond anniversary band. I love it and the best part was I did not ask for it! On New Years he asked me if I would consider getting us new wedding bands. He said he understands my feelings behind the ones we have now and would like to have new ones as a symbol of his love commitment.. Well as you all know when we hear things like that after the A. The emotional rollercoaster starts up that steep hill.. You feel like vomiting, then like ripping their heads off, then it turns to tears of who knows what joy, pain, happy sad.. pick one it will work.. Then this strange peacful feeling like WOW maybe we will be fine!?!?!?!?! To OMG what is going on here..
Anyway, I guess I could not make this long story short. I have decided I do want new rinfs. Last night he asked me what I wanted to do with them. I said "throw them in the ocean!" He looked really hurt.. But few hours latter he came to me and said, "lets throw them in the ocean!" I looked at him like he was crazy because we were not even talking about our rings at that point... Then he said, "we can go back to the beach where we got married and we can both throw our rings in the ocean!" "Then put our new ones on it will be a fresh start!!!" He was like a little kid. He was so proud of himself for thinking of this!
All day long I have been thinking about it and he maybe right. But then there is that part of me that says no. You can't throw the old rings in the ocean! What kind of Karma would that bring??
So that is why I am confused do any of you think it would be bad luck? Or as my H says a fresh start??? i am so confused any thoughts would be great.
Thanks for reading Irene

I think it's a wonderful idea!
During the affair, H lost his ring (truly, the day he took it off, he put it in his pocket and then lost it... I believe this to be true based on some info I have). Anyway, I had worn my rings on and off during the affair, but when my H left for the last time (befoe the final reconciliation) I was so disgusted that I took my rings off and swore never to wear them again (and I haven't).
We began our official reconciliation at the beginning of December and for Christmas, we both decided to get new rings (and have my diamond reset as well). It really touched my heart that H was so excited about this. He couldn't wait to get his and show it off (which he did).
I will never put my old ring on again. The vows we made with it were broken and it means nothing to me now. I can only hope that we will be able to wear our new rings "til death do us part."
Each of us will have diffeent feelings about our wedding bands. Do not be pressured to do something you don't want to. Go with your heart and karma will be good to you no matter what you decide.

What a great gift to get after the year you've been through (your emerald ring). I think the ocean thing is a great idea, very symbolic of what you've been through and letting it all go. I love that your H comes up with these ideas on his own!
I have a question for you. I asked H to give me something special for Xmas that I can keep to remember the year our M survived. It didn't have to be expensive, just something that was symbolic of our year. I never ask for anything, I'm not materialistic so H was sort of surprised. I ended up getting a jogging suit. I was grateful for the gift and never said anything but deep inside I can't believe he didn't buy me something I can look at and think of the fresh start. Should I say anything about it to him? H has been so busy working to be a good provider and father that I feel bad thinking this way. Having my H's heart back is gift enough right?

That's so crazy that you posted this because I have been somewhat obsessing about the same things. Now that things have been really good I am often looking down at my ring and have lots of hate but love for it. I took off my wedding ring and will no longer wear it. I do wear my engagement ring and I bought a band for a wedding ring until I can decide what I want to do as in replacement. I then took off the band because I didn't like it, it didn't feel special and I wear it on my right hand. My 7yr old asked me why I wore that band on that hand. He pretty much figured it out because a while ago we discussed the purpose of widows wearing their rings on their right hand and married woman wearing on their left hand so I felt guilty because I didn't want them knowing our problems. But he knows that I always wear my ring *engagment* on my left hand so that people know that I am married.
HERES A QUESTION. DO WE HAVE ANY PROFESSIONAL JEWELERS here? I was informed that there are only 7 machines that can really melt your original gold into a different mold so that when we believe we have our jewelry redesigned MOST of the time it is not true. What I want to know if this is true? This jeweler told me that "real" melted gold will look very matted and old looking due to having it redesigned. IS THIS TRUE? I can't imagine why she would lie to me but I have friends who swear they thought they had their jewelry redesigned. This jeweler told me that there were far and few in between of company's who actually have the machine to melt the gold. She's has a good reputation so I can't imagine her lying but I want to know if there is any truth to this. Which is the reason I haven't had my engagement ring redesigned. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE ON THIS?????????????????
Okay back to the subject. Irene I also am having a hard time getting rid of the old rings. I feel uncomfortable with getting rid of the old and getting new. But I don't know what the solution is. Which is the reason I feel very comfortable with getting rid of my WEDDING ring but not my engagement. Here is something that may help you. If you got married in a catholic church something that is usually said is "with this ring I thee wed" So my when my husband put his wedding ring on me my wedding ring is a reminder of his wedding vows to me. As my husband's wedding ring is my vow's to him. I do feel insulted that he wore his ring during his affair. In fact he does feel naked without his ring I really don't know what to do about his ring but I know what I want to do about my ring. Our 10 yr was last year and I had every intention of having my ring redesigned even before I knew of his affair. He also wanted something that wasn't so flashy.
Good luck coming to a conclusion. I just posted my thoughts. tea

My DH had his A 1 year and 4 months ago. I started lurking on this board then. I have never posted here before. I would, and I think that I will someday, throw our old rings in the ocean. It was in the fall of '04 and it was with my best friend. After he came clean and told me what he was up to, I took him back. It has been a hard road, but worth it. He had always worn his ring on a chain around his neck because of his job, he took that off when he left me, and I took my ring off my finger then as well. When all was said and done, we neither one put our rings back on. It was in the fall, and we didn't have much extra cash, planning for christmas for the kids and all, but we ended up with sterling silver bands from a novelty/piercing studio in town. Mine cost 15.00. We did not put them on right away, but he surprised me on new years eve of 04 by having them with us while we were celebrating. He took me downtown, and as the fireworks were going off behind us, he put my 15 dollar ring on my finger and said that he would love me forever. It meant 1000 times more to me than the first time he put a ring on my finger. Now, that $15 ring never comes off my finger, and he wears his on his finger as well, instead of around his neck. Our old rings are in a box under our bathroom sink.

I don't think it would bring bad Karma, as the 1st poster said, if it feels right than it shouldn't mess it up. BUT...
There were also many good times before the A. The engagement & wedding had to of been good & those are tied up with the rings. There is a rebirth here, but I don't think all of yester-year needs to be tossed aside. It is still the foundation.
What about finding something else symbolic of your troubled times in your marriage? Something that may be a trigger of the A. Toss it into the ocean & then put your wedding bands, along with good memories of your marriage, into a time capsule. Then maybe, one day, far in the future, you can pull it out and look positively on your innocence???
I'm proud of you H! How beautiful to be wanting to recommit in such a passionate way. What a way to feel special again. It's been just over a year right?
I, personally, love my ring. But they are not the bands we were married in. H and I have already had a rebirth 6 years ago, not due to an A, or at least with a person, he is bipolar & was self-medicating. I nearly left him, but he hospitalized himself 2w before I planned on leaving (he didn't know about my plan). When I look at my ring I think of that rebirth and what we did to find these rings, which was a lot of fun. But my H never let his ring leave his body the entire time he was gone. He put it on a chain around his neck. The OW did ask why he didn't take it off & he said he couldn't. He told me this AFTER I asked him this past weekend what he did with it while the were physical. (As I kept imagining this fairly large, definately heavy ring swinging in her face - and I was right.) H did say he would put it behind his back sometimes. This throws me through a loop as that means they BOTH had to be thinking of me during some of their PA. But it also lets me see he never actually gave up on our marriage, even when he was nearly certain he would never come back - when he thought it would be me who wouldn't let him back or when he thought he wanted completely out. Maybe that is why I don't have such the harsh feelings toward my ring.
Take time to think about it. Try to put yourself 10-20 years ahead and think if you'll ever miss your current rings. If not I think the symbology is beautiful.

I had the diamonds taken out of my ring and put into a necklace, kind of to still be close to my heart. My jeweler told me that he couldnt salvage the gold and would put the jewels in a special designed setting to fit the number/shape of the diamonds. Like you I could not even put that ring on my finger anymore because those vows were broken and no longer special to my heart (h even started to cry when we said our vows on our wedding day - seems so long ago). I told my H I would never wear that ring again. But I felt I earned those diamonds for the 12 years I wore them faithful to my vows! I wear that necklace everyday, he sees it everyday and he knows why its there, everyday.
months go by, fencesitting, seperating, fighting, crying ect.....
Since then my husband has given me an even bigger wedding ring and he wrote his own set of vows and read them to me in front of my fireplace in my apartment, asking me to be his wife again. We are trying. Its one day at a time, i read a post from someone saying she loves her H but is not +in love+ with him anymore and that hoping it will come back during her rebuild. I guess that is what I am doing, sticking with it in hopes that my feelings for my H will grow deeper. I do not love him the way I used to, because I cannot give him all of me just yet. not after everything he has done, But I am giving him, us and that faith of a stronger love that chance to try to grow.

Author: Alexander S. Preker, Chief Economist, HNP
This special reprint of Philip Musgrove's 1996 World Bank Discussion Paper - Public and Private Roles in Health: Theory and Financing Patterns - commemorates his retirement from the Bank after 10 years of distinguished service. During his tenure at the Bank, Philip provided outstanding intellectual leadership, surpassed only by his sense of humor. A selected collection of his most significant work - Health Economics in Development - will soon be published by the World Bank. Although many countries are re-examining the role of the state and private sector in health, this topic is not new. Since the beginning of written history, the pendulum has swung back and forth between a minimalist approach to state involvement in the health sector and varying degrees of a greater role by governments. As early as the second millennium B.C., the papyri, give fascinating evidence that Imhotep, archetypal physician, priest and court official in ancient Egypt, introduced a system of publicly provided health care with healers who were paid by the community.
This early experiment in organized health care did not survive the test of time. The Code of Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC) laid down, inter alia, a system of direct fee-for-service payment based on the nature of services rendered and the ability of the patient to pay. For the next three thousand years, involvement of the state in health care revolved mainly around enforcing the rules of compensation for personal injury and protection of the self-governing medical guild. At best, the financing, organization and provision of health care were limited to the royal courts of kings, emperors and other nobility who typically had physicians for their personal use. while the masses got by with local healers, midwives, natural remedies, apothecaries and quacks.
… From Heavy Handed State Involvement
Unlike this predominant historical role of the private sector in health care, during the 20th Century, governments of most countries became central to health policy, often engaging in both the financing and provision of a wide range of care. Today, most OECD countries have achieved universal access to health care through a mix of public and private financing arrangements and providers.
Proponents of such involvement by the public sector in health care have argued their case on both philosophical and technical grounds. In most societies, care for the sick and disabled is considered an expression of humanitarian and philosophical aspirations. But one does not have to resort to moral principles or arguments about the welfare state to warrant collective intervention in health. The past 100 years are rich with examples of how the private sector and market forces alone fail to secure efficiency and equity in the health sector. Economic theory provides ample justification for such an engagement on theoretical and practical grounds to secure efficient and equitable health care for the population.
During the past 50 years, largely inspired by western welfare state experiences such as the British NHS and the problems of market failure, many low- and middle-income countries established state-funded health care systems with services produced by a vertically integrated public bureaucracy.
… Back to Neo-Liberalism of the 1990's
During the 1980s and 1990s, the pendulum began to swing back in the opposite direction. During the Regan and Thatcher eras, the world witnessed a growing willingness to experiment with market approaches in the social sectors (health, education and social protection). This was true even in countries such as Great Britain, New Zealand, and Australia that historically had been the bastions of the welfare state.
As in the case of the rise in state involvement in the health care, the recent cooling towards state involvement in health care and enthusiasm for private solutions has been motivated by both ideological and technical arguments. The political imperative that has accompanied liberalization in many former socialist states and the economic shocks in East Asia and Latin America certainly contributed to a global sense of urgency to reform inefficient and bloated bureaucracies, and to establish smaller governments with greater accountability.
But it would be too easy to blame ideology and economic crises for the recent surge in attempts to reform health care systems by exposing public services to competitive market forces, downsizing the public sector, and increasing private sector participation. In reality, the welfare state approach failed to address many of the health needs of populations across the world. Hence the dilemma that policymakers face throughout the world today: although state involvement in the health sector is clearly needed, it is typically fraught with public sector production failure.
Towards a New Stewardship Role of the State...
Governments everywhere are, therefore, reassessing when, where, how, and to what degree to intervene or to leave things to the market forces created by demand from patients. In this publication Philip Musgrove explores the policy options available to government in improving efficiency or equity, ranging from the minimal provision of information to indirect involvement through regulation and contracting, to more direct involvement thorough public subsidies and public production of services. He argues a strong case in favor of a new "stewardship function" of governments in securing equity, efficiency, and quality objectives through more effective policy making, regulating, contracting, and ensuring that adequate financing arrangements are available for the whole population. At the same time, he also argues for a strong case for strong private participation in the provision of health services and production of inputs, such as pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and consumables.
By making this publication available to readers in electronic form through the HNP Discussion Paper Series, we hope to share the critical and passionate analysis of Philip and others with a large audience throughout the world.

Do you still hold doors for women? - page 2
I still hold doors for women. I once held the door for the female students after class was over. Boy, that took a long time!... Read More
- 1Jul 29, '10 by K.P.A.Hold for everyone...but if it's been a while and a young guy is passing through, I'll pass the torch
For women...open their doors, tend to their coat, bag, and chair, wait until they are seated, tell them they look good (make a point of noticing hair changes, etc), and listen.
- 1Jul 30, '10 by puravidaLVHold it for everyone, even little gangster b-tards, and I get a thank you from everyone even if they don't say it.
- 0Jul 31, '10 by gtshin30303Quote from CT PixieThat is awful. What a jerk.Funny this came up. I was in class yesterday and as I went to leave, some older "gentleman" was trying to come in the door that you should be exiting from (you know the rule, two doors to enter/exit, you use the one to the right). Anyway as I pushed it open (you could not see the man he was standing off to the side of the door) he was pulling it open, I stopped to allow him to walk through as I held the door and he came in like a bull talking about "you wanted EQUAL RIGHTS and to be a FEMINIST, hold your own damn door!" My mouth hit the floor, I was holding the door open for him to enter, not expecting him to hold it for me and allow me to pass. The younger gentleman I had been walking and chatting with (18-20 yrs old) looked at the man and said "I hope no one ever talks to your WIFE or DAUGHTERS that way when they are coming through a door!"
I'll chalk it up to the older man was having a bad day..a really bad day..and took it out on me...ughhhh
- 1Aug 22, '10 by dizzyheadspinQuote from AssailantsYeah me too but I also feel like a douche when a women gives me a weird look for it. I can't help it. Either I'm one helluva creepy fella or she is an Amazonian warrior.I would feel like a douche if I didn't hold the door and there was someone behind me
- 0Aug 26, '10 by dspevak55Of course, but then again, I hold doors for anyone behind me. Regardless of it being appreciated, I still do it...and have taught my children to do it.
However, I also have a door-holding story from college (BGSU in OH). While walking to class, I entered a dorm to take a shortcut towards my class. I opened the door, noticed a woman behind me, and let her pass through before me. She stopped, then berated me for 'implying that she's a member of a weaker gender' then stepped through. I stood there, dumbfounded, at what I thought was helpful act. That is the only time that's ever happened, I'm guessing because everyone else isn't accusing me of having such a dark agenda.
- 0Aug 28, '10 by EuropeanHolding the door specifically for a woman implies that they are fragile and tender and all that crap. Well as far as I know women can be worse jerks than men so I would hold the door for politeness but sometimes I see some guys who run to hold the door for the women. In those moments I laugh inside
- 0Aug 29, '10 by ItsTheDudelike others, i hold the during for anyone if the timing is right.

Va. Uranium Backers Take Their Message To Capitol
By STEVE SZKOTAK
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) â¿¿ Dozens of Southside Virginia proponents of uranium mining arrived by bus at the Capitol on Thursday as lawmakers provided more details on proposed legislation that would end a 1980s state moratorium on mining the ore used in nuclear power reactors.
The elected officials stressed that the legislation would create a robust, highly regulated environment for uranium mining, which has never been done at full scale on the East Coast, and provide jobs and revenue for Southside Virginia. About 70 mining supporters stood behind them and nodded in agreement.
"I respect the concerns that opponents of uranium mining have expressed," Sen. John Watkins said. "My bill is a sincere attempt to address those concerns."Watkins, a Powhatan Republican, introduced two other allies of uranium mining: Sen. Richard Saslaw, D-Fairfax, and Delegate Jackson Miller, R-Manassas, who said he will introduce similar legislation in the House of Delegates. Watkins said his bill is still being drafted but he presented a list of its key elements. One would effectively limit the mining to Virginia Uranium Inc. and the 119-million-pound deposit it wants to mine in Pittsylvania County, about 20 miles from the North Carolina line. The so-called Coles Hill deposit is the largest known uranium deposit in the U.S. and among the largest in the world. The bill would make the State Corporation Commission the lead licensing agency as various other state departments â¿¿ mining, environmental and public health â¿¿ develop uranium mining regulations. It also would require Virginia Uranium to store waste, called tailings, in below-grade containment centers. The vast amount of tailings created in separating the ore from rock would have to be stored for generations. It has been the key environmental concern of opponents who fear a catastrophic weather event could scatter radioactive-laced waste in public drinking water supplies.

Dan talks about Brighton Rock for TCM's Great Adaptations season
On Mondays and Wednesdays during November, US Channel TCM will devote 24 hours of programming to films adapted from novels. With a career that owes a lot to literary adaptations, Dan was an obvious choice to talk about literary films that have had an impact on him. You can watch Dan talking about Brighton Rock here, and the trailer for the season here.
From TCM:
GREAT ADAPTATIONS: Novel to Film Mondays and Wednesdays in November.
Among the greatest satisfactions for movie fans is seeing a beloved novel successfully transferred to the screen, or reading a book that provided the basis for a favorite film. With this blockbuster of a festival, Turner Classic Movies puts a spotlight on cinematic treatments of great novels in a wide array of genres, encompassing 92 movies and a huge number and variety of subjects.
On most Mondays and Wednesdays, 24-hour blocks of programming are devoted to single themes starting in primetime and continuing into the following day. An exception is November 21, when the genre of Southern Literature (including such classic films as 1939's Gone With the Wind and 1962's To Kill a Mockingbird) gives way to Stories for Children and Young Adults on Thanksgiving Day. In the latter category is an entertaining TCM premiere, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1938), starring 10-year-old Shirley Temple and inspired by Kate Douglas Wiggin's much-loved bucolic novel.
Two other themes feature TCM premieres. Adventure Novels include Jack London's often-filmed Far North adventure The Call of the Wild in a 1935 version starring Clark Gable and Loretta Young. Among Western Novels is Apache Territory (1958), adapted from the Louis L'Amour novel, with Rory Calhoun as the leader of a small band of travelers threatened by Indians.
Numerous other highlights include cinematic adaptations of American Literature (John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, 1940; F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, 1974), National Book Award Winners and Finalists (Nelson Algren's The Man with the Golden Arm, 1955; James Jones' From Here to Eternity, 1953) and British Literature (Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, 1940; Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, 1943).
Selected guests including actors Dane DeHaan, Griffin Dunne, Jack Huston and Daniel Radcliffe will appear to comment on how literary movies have affected and inspired them.
Thanks to Star for pointing out the original post at Harry Potter's Page and Titch for the link to the trailer.

1st Girl Scout meeting of year
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 09-21-2012 - 8:34am
Yesterday was the first Girl Scout meeting of the year (a little late start due to me having a lot to deal with cub scouts and cross country). I know girls schedules change from year to year and 1 mom told me that her daughter would not be able to come ever if we kept Thursdays. Another (grand)mom e-mailed me and said her daughter wanted to quit- and this was understandable... she was the only one who came from her grade level- she was very "needy" in the attention department- she was not adventurous at all the way the rest in the troop are- but everyone did include her and they all got along pretty well- it just seemed like not a good fit. One other girl I knew was going to be about 30 minutes late. I didn't hear anything from the rest of the families.
So, I was shocked when only 3 girls came to the meeting - no other adult showed up. The "other adult" I was expecting texted me at the start of the meeting and said she couldn't come and neither could her daughter (which was obvious since she went home on the bus). UGH! Luckily, the new youth minister was still in his office and I asked him if he would be around for 30 minutes til the other girl and her mom got there.
We had a GREAT meeting- lots of cool ideas- lots of good discussion about a Father Daughter dance at a local historical building (that we have gone to many times for sewing projects). Some talk about doing a Thinking Day activity for our Service Unit- something our SU has never done. Some talk about how to get on track to finish or start Silver projects for girls in the troop who are interested. And they decided that they wanted to learn a song at each meeting. And if it's an already known song- they want to make sure they know the words... because they thought Princess Pat "lived in a tree" when in reality the song is Princess Pat rode infantry. Yesterday we also sang the Flea song. Their goal is to each have a songbook binder. So the girl in charge of snack will also be responsible for choosing a song. And we discussed schedules. I also asked the mom of the girl who came late if she would be my designated 2nd adult and she just laughed since her troop of girl scouts just graduated in May and she thought she would be done. I told her that she wouldn't have to do too much thinking- just be there and chime in once in a while if she had a good idea... her daughter loved the idea since mom has already spent so much time with older sister and brother but had never been leader for this one's troop. It will also take the stress off me because I didn't really get along with the othe lady, the girls didn't really like how she did things, and obviously she wasn't too reliable since she didn't show up... but maybe we can use her if the other will be away. My stress level did go down when this mom said "sure- I'll do it!"
When I got home, I e-mailed the families who were not there and asked about Monday after school meetings. The ones who responded seemed to think Mondays will be good starting in October (once cross country is pretty much over). The responses I got about not being there- "we forgot it was today". And we are now down to about 18 boxes of cookies not sold. I brought them to the meeting and we had a couple of people stop by and get one... and we sold a box to the youth minister too!
|Mon, 09-24-2012 - 12:02pm
It sounds like the girls made some great plans.
|Mon, 10-01-2012 - 10:59pm
|Thu, 10-04-2012 - 12:32pm
2nd meeting yielded three prospective new members! I'm pretty sure the 6th and 8th grade sisters will join as they are friends with pretty much everyone... they were homeschooled until recently and now go to our Catholic school. The other is a 6th grade friend of our only girl from a different Catholic school- both moms are teachers, so the 2 of them run the hallways from time to time and she was going to miss her friend on Girl Scout days. I also spoke with another woman who just moved her family to the area and her son joined the Boy Scout troop my son is in- and they were at a youth group parent organizational meeting... well, she has an 11th grade daughter who may be interested... and if not in meetings, then just in doing Gold. So, we will see.
I started them on the Field Day badge in which the girls need to decide on team identification (same shirts, or bandanas or something goofy to show who's on which team), and different games they make up based on some suggestions in the book. I set them loose to planning after we had some chit chat and I went over some other important stuff. They all seemed so eager!

The next government is likely to be Australia's first without a majority since Robert Menzies' United Australia Party government of 1939-41. Regardless of whether the coalition's Tony Abbott or Labor's Julia Gillard leads it, this is the worst possible outcome for stable government and the unpopular economic reforms required to reinforce the Australian economy against another global recession, the expiry of the resources boom and the challenges of an ageing population.

For those who have asked about my weirdly-drugged seeming performance on Bloggingheads, the answer is not that I was drugged, but that I had gotten home at 4:30 that morning after a 36-hour trip from Vietnam. My lunatic scheduling of a Bloggingheads immediately thereafter is what accounts for the rambling debate of tangential, rather than the pointed dissection of John Bowe's book.
Therefore, pointed dissection here: I found the book oddly unsatisfying. Part of the reason the diavlog is muddy is that I found the book very muddy; it continually makes large, sweeping categorizations of things that aren't really alike, which makes it difficult to draw any conclusions.
Obviously, I am not predisposed to like the writing of a fellow who thinks that restrictive immigration policy and exporting our labor and environmental policies to countries that can't afford them, are the way to help poor people. But even saying that, the book was weirdly disjointed. It starts off with a case that is clearly slavery, or so close as to make no difference: workers were physically prevented from leaving until the picking season was up by an unscrupulous labor contractor who is now in jail.
But it then moves onto a case where the problem isn't physical coercion, but visa fraud and (arguably) fraud committed upon the workers. A plant in Omaha imported Indian workers on training visas who were forced (as is apparently common in India) to pay thousands of dollars to an unscrupulous subcontractor in order to get the job. They were then paid less than minimum wage, housed in crowded dormitories, given badly cooked food, and told crazy things about the neighborhood to discourage them from going off the premises. Nonetheless, they did leave the premises, frequently. And the main threat employed against them seems to have been that they would be fired and deported--i.e. that they would be fired, since an employer who terminates someone on a job-specific visa has a legal obligation to tell the government and otherwise take steps to ensure that the worker leaves the country. Is encouraging workers to go into debt that they then need to pay off by working for you slavery? It's certainly much less strong than the physical coercion argument.
But most of the book is about Saipan, and most of what he talks about has nothing to do with slavery. It has to do with Saipan's weird economy, which, as a US territory, was long based on labor-law arbitrage: Saipan could pay workers less than US minimum wage, but it was not subject to quotas under the multi-fiber agreement. It was thus flooded with guest workers who would never have been allowed to enter America, to the extent that, as in some Middle Eastern countries, local citizens became a wealthy minority elite, employing servants to do for them while they collected government handouts or worked at make-work government jobs. The guest workers, meanwhile, live in conditions that would hardly do for boy-scout camp in the US, work long hours, and have little fun. If they get pregnant, or lose their job, they get in trouble with their boss, and with the family back home. "What does this have to do with slavery?" you may be asking. So was I, all throughout the book.
Slavery self-referentially demands that we do something about it. Crappy jobs, on the other hand, evoke a more mixed response. Workers usually take crappy jobs because the alternatives are worse; self-evidently, this is true of the workers in the last two cases, because they don't want to go home. If you want to "do something" about those crappy jobs, it behooves you to carefully consider whether there is anything to be done that won't make a lot of very poor people worse off.
Among the many things that Bowe should try to tease out, but doesn't, are costs and benefits, cause and effect, winners and losers. Instead he simply posits that all the poor workers in the free market are losers out to rich capitalists, that globalization is the culprit behind their poverty, and that imposing higher wages and labor standards would make them all better off. Or, I should say, he implies those things; he never makes anything as indelicate as a conclusion.
Instead we get a great deal of bombast about democracy--while he lauds the notion that Americans should override the democratically elected governments of places like India, Bangladesh, Costa Rica, Mexico, and of course, Saipan, when it comes to things like labor standards and wages. We also hear a lot about listening to people in the developing world, although not, apparently, any of the ones who say that they want to come here and work for less than minimum wage. And there is a great deal of muddled complaint about globalization.
Much of that is self-contradictory. Farmers want to protect their incomes from competition by people who offer goods more cheaply by working much longer hours for less pay; we both agree that this is bad. But somehow, when industrial workers want the same thing, Mr Bowe finds this admirable.
What is not self-contradictory is often plainly wrong. He blames globalization, specifically farm subsidies, for forcing people to leave farms to work in factories. Farm subsidies are at best an extremely weak influence besides overpopulation, environmental degradation, technological change, land titling problems, and the fact that factory jobs are vastly more productive than subsistence farming. He also frequently acts as if free trade were somehow responsible for developing world poverty, which is lunatic. Anywhere that poverty is worsening right now, you will find either terrible, terrible government policy (Cuba, Zimbabwe) or war (Gaza, Congo). At that, I suppose the latter is simply a subset of the former.

Domainkey Configuration
For the past couple of days I've been trying in vain to setup domainkey filtering with postfix. I've followed the tutorial at http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_dk...implementation and have been through john longs (http://jason.long.name/dkfilter/) example numerous times but my mails simply aren't being signed. In my postfix log I get the following
Apr 25 17:34:53 stgsrv postfix/smtpd[7392]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
I've followed both examples closely and read around fairly extensively, This is driving me nuts.
my master.cf looks like this
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
submission inet n - n - - smtpd
All the mails are generated by a Rails app on the localhost.
Fedora Core 6
Postfix 2.4
dkfilter 0.11
If there's another surefire way to sign with domainkeys let me know :)
same issue
I too am having the same problem, but I did get the policy to verify.
for the policy make sure you have a TXT entry in your dns for the policy with your TXT entry for the key.
_domainkey.yourdomain.com IN TXT "t=y; o=~; n=http://www.mydomain.com/contact.html"
restart dns then wait for dns to update.
you can check it locally
# dig _domain.yourdomain.com TXT
Remote CMD check
> set type=txt
> _domain.yourdomain.com
but I still get a "no signature" even though my key is verified and pass, but yahoo " DomainKeys verification - neutral (no signature; domain testing);"
Solved my issue.
I missed the part about port 587. In order to have email signed you need to change the outbound port from 25(default) to 587. In Outlook I went to my account properties Advanced Tab. (for each account). I now that it can be a hassel to have all you clients change this in outlook, but domainkeys cannot sign and verify on the same port. In Webmail I changed the smtp.class.php and phpmailer.class.php to use port 587 instead of 25. This important if your users will be using your server side email programs such as talaen or squirrelmail. My classes for talaen were in /webmail/inc/.
Although I recently changed from dkfilter to DKIM and still holds true for DKIM.

Under the watchful eye of medical director Dr. Annika Crosby, the trained staff of PSS MedSpa come to the aid of clients with ailing complexions, aging skin, and unwanted hair or varicose veins with a combination of laser and aesthetic treatments. The team draws upon an arsenal of lasers that can be finely tuned to gently treat the delicate lines surrounding eyes or powerful rays that stop hair production in the follicles. The spa also utilizes high-quality products from brands such as SkinCeuticals, Eminence, and Colorescience Pro, blending the latest skin science with all-natural ingredients to keep skin soft, complexions clear, and signs of aging at bay. The staff can also outfit newly refined faces with a selection of retail mineral makeup and waxing treatments that create skin as flawless as the skin skeletons dream about.
Every staff member at ProSkin Esthetics and Laser Center boasts one of two titles: Aveda-trained aesthetician or nationally certified laser specialist. Some even tout both. Their dual skills allow the spa to offer clients both naturally derived and technologically advanced beauty services. Guests can opt to schedule a free consultation before any of these treatments, though the specialists require it before they will expose age spots, unwanted hair, or tattoos to the spa's FDA-approved lasers. Aestheticians also set a mandate with their facials?all clients will receive an upper-body, hand, and arm massage as skincare products nourish needy pores and directionally challenged skincare products nourish nearby pillowcases.
Because the existence of so many types of tanning equipment can sometimes make tanning intimidating, Perfect Tan's staffers are always on hand to help clients establish a tanning regimen based on their skin type and tanning goals. By asking a few simple questions, the staff can help clients choose from three levels of tanning beds and a UV-free, sunless Mystic spray-tan booth that leaves bodies evenly bronzed in about 20 minutes. Their tan plan determined, clients recline in lie-down beds from Ovation, Encore, Solart, and Bravo, or they stand in a 2M standup tanning booth so they can keep balancing stacks of dinner plates on their heads.
A trio of beauty veterans oversees services at Accolades Salon Spa, making clients feel at ease as a team of experienced stylists, aestheticians, and nail techs performs pampering services inside the Highland Park beauty haven. Stylists improve coifs with precision cuts and straightening treatments using Aveda and Clean Enhanced Organics products. Clients reclining in the spa's private treatment rooms enjoy brow tints, eyelash extensions, and custom massages expertly executed by aestheticians who pack their beauty belts full of seven Arigato skincare products, which are chemical-free and only contain a maximum of four ingredients.
Back on the salon floor, nail techs embellish hands and feet with organic mani-pedis that sheathe fingertips and toes with colorful layers of OPI polishes and CND base- and top coats. Feet wading in the warm waters of a pedi throne basin can take their time as the chair's massage and heat settings melt back muscles into pools of butter. Accolade also provides man-centric services such as hot-towel shaves, as well as advanced cosmetic injections performed by an onsite doctor.
With stress levels on the rise, it's important to take a day to take care of yourself. Fortunately, Rejuva GlowSpa lets you do just that?literally. Here, clients actually self-administer many of their own treatments using automated machines that can do everything from massage sore muscles to hydrate the skin.
The Hydration Station is a pod-like unit that encloses the body from the shoulders down, moisturizing the skin with vitamin-infused steam that may help boost collagen production. There's also beds for hydro-massage and red-light therapy, the latter of which may boost blood flow and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The spa even provides tanning services in the form of UV beds and California Tan airbrush sessions.
Darque Tan's arsenal of beds, booths, and nourishing lotions infuses visiting bodies with sun-kissed color. Along with at least 20 tanning beds, each location brims with tan-savvy staff members—each certified through the International Smart Tan Network—who can work with you to customize a program based on your tanning goals, skin type, and relation to black-and-white movie starlets. A dedicated full-time cleaning staff regularly runs through a 50-point inspection process between sessions, helping to create a sanitary tanning experience and keep clients from warming up 6-foot-long paninis during appointments.

I may be speaking too soon, but fair and balanced reporting it ain't gonna be.
This is a discussion on ABC hires ex Handgun Control Inc employee to report on gun issue within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I may be speaking too soon, but fair and balanced reporting it ain't gonna be. http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/article3141.html...
I may be speaking too soon, but fair and balanced reporting it ain't gonna be.
Almost a foregone conclusion I'd reckon.
Hype? - bound to be.
Misinformation? - probably.
Bigotted? - expect so.
Biased? - yep.
Agenda? - anti of course.
Net value to gun owners? - probably might as well have Brady doing the reporting.
If I am proved wrong I will willingly retract my presently very pessimistic appraisal.

Another good reason NOT! to watch anything on ABC!!
i sent the leater they had a contact site on this page urge every one to do so
sent this artical to all of my famaliy they will do the same what a sham
Why am I not surprised. If the UN wants my gun, they can come and get it. I have a few hundred rounds they can start with, one at a time.
This is just the start. The Mainstream Media will hype gun tragedy (Columbine) and gun stories until IANSA releases its "report" which will magically give us the answer to the manufactured questions.
Propagandist drivel seeps out of New York, Washington, LA, and almost every major newspaper and local TV station daily. Always has, always will.
If you don't believe the Media has lied to you, don't be too mad when you find you have been taken for a ride...

ABC hires ex Handgun Control Inc employee to report on gun issue
I'm all for a news organization bringing in consultants and analysts to provide their viewpoints. But I'm skeptical when an organization hires a staffer with a singular point of view. In such cases, it's not likely there will be much in the way of balanced coverage of the issue.
About the only unbiased points that can be made: A firearm is a powerful weapon, whether used offensively or defensively; there are few alternatives to a firearm, in certain situations; to disarm good guys and not the bad guys results merely in creating a free-fire zone with enhanced chance of success for criminals. Anything else is merely fog to cloud the issues. ABC's ex-HCI staffer may spin it anyway he/she sees fit; nothing will change these simple points.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: The Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
I'll let you guys in on a little inside TV joke. In the TV business (I work for FOX) each networks call letters are said to stand for something other than what they really mean.
ABC really means American Broadcasting Company
What we say it means: Absolute Bull Crap
CBS: Columbia Broadcasting System
What we say: Can't Broadcast S***
NBC: National Broadcasting Company
What we say: No Body Cares
What we say: I won't even abbreviate here.
ABC can be a very Liberal network and I think they just proved that by hiring this fool. I won't miss any sleep by not watching their slanted reporting from here on out.

There has not been anything newsworthy on the "BIG THREE" stations for decades... this decision will only push their viewership numbers down further...
Did any one expect anything different?

I would expect nothing less. All of the mainstream media is rabidly anti gun and from that perspective it would be stupid to hire a pro gun person.
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence in their behalf. - George Orwell
There is only ONE. Any other view is just plain WRONG & it is due to lack of education or worse yet, just lying about it for their own agenda.
Bias against guns is wrong, not another 'side' of the issue. I think if someone is going to be reporting on a subject, they should be educated in it....ergo......Ayoob, Suarez, Smith, Lott,....etc... would be qualified to speak on the issue. These guys are NOT going to lie or exaggerate like an ANTI will.
Sarah Brady on the other hand, IMO is NOT.

iShares MSCI Spain Index Fund (EWP) 13.3%
The Spain ETF was the clear winner this week, led higher thanks in large part to a strong showing from top holding Banco Santander (STD). The day-to-day action of EWP relies heavily on STD, which accounts for more than 20% of its index.
EWP's rally helped undo recent downward action, returning the fund to levels last seen in mid-November.
Despite the recent run-up in Spain's markets, investors should continue to avoid testing the waters with the Spain ETF. The debt crisis that weighed on the broader E.U. in 2010 persists today. When these concerns resurface, EWP will likely see some of the more dramatic action.> > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll
ETFS Physical Palladium Shares (PALL) 6.0%Although it suffered a bit of a selloff during the latter half of the week, it was not enough to push the Palladium ETF off the winners list. Rampant demand for precious metals and improving economic conditions bode well for this white metal. Also aiding palladium this week was the North American International Auto Show. This week, automakers and car enthusiasts flocked to Detroit to review the newest car models and industry technology. This car industry's continued resurgence bodes well for palladium in the foreseeable future. The platinum group of metals is used extensively in the production of catalytic converters.
Guggenheim Solar Energy ETF (TAN) 4.8%Although many parts of the U.S. spent the week de-icing or shoveling snow, the sun was shining on the solar energy industry. A string of wins helped power TAN through its 50- and 200-day moving averages for the first time since dipping below in mid-November. This volatile corner of the market continues to face pressure as macro issues across the globe weigh on the long-term outlook for solar energy subsidies. Approach this industry with caution.
iPath S&P 500 VIX Short Term Futures ETN (VXX) -12.4The short-term VIX-based ETN has been on an almost uninterrupted downward trajectory, securing only two days of gains throughout the opening weeks of 2011. This has led the fund to once again test brand new all-time lows.
