Sand Strie Napkins:
Material: 100% Linen
Brand: Kelly Wearstler
Origin: Imported
Kelly Wearstler has single-handedly revived the Hollywood Regency decorating style: a glamorous mix of bold lines and graphic patterns, rendered in luxurious materials and layered one upon another. Aside from creating eye-catching interiors for hotels, residences and restaurants — including BG, the eatery at New York's Bergdorf Goodman — she has developed similar product lines for The Rug Company, textile manufacturer Lee Jofa and tabletop concern Pickard. But perhaps her crown jewel is her bedding for Sferra, which features zigzag stripes, color blocks and sinuous organic patterns in cashmere, sateen and embroidered ribbon.

I almost always have a frozen burrito of some form camping out in my freezer. They are perfect when I need something quick, well rounded and filling to help me power through a day full of lectures, labs and studying. The other day, I had an hour to whip up a quick lunch and tackle some Calculus homework, so I threw a PJ's Organic Chicken Burrito into the microwave and got my books all set up.
When taking the burrito out of the microwave, I could tell that this was not your average frozen burrito. The tortilla was very "flour-y" and reminded me of a cast (that you get put on your arm/ leg/ limb, when it's broken) - odd comparison I know, but it was very thick, hard and overbearing in some areas and too doughy in others. The inside was tasty, but this supposedly has chicken in it - being a chicken burrito and all - but it must be shredded and ground super fine, because I couldn't see it. I had the same issue with Cedarlane Low Fat Chicken Burrito, but the nutrition facts are better, so Cedarlane has the upper-hand.
Each 6 ounce PJ's Organic Chicken Burrito provides 340 calories, 8 grams of total fat, 1.5 grams of which is saturated fat (12% & 8% of the daily value), 820 mg of sodium (34% of the DV - wowza), 3 grams of fiber (12% of the DV), no sugar and 13 grams of protein. The ingredients is organic, of course, starting with unbleached wheat flour for the tortilla and organic cooked white chicken meat, organic black beans, water, organic white short grain rice etc. for the filling.
I paid $1.79 for PJ's Organic Chicken Burrito and, although it may be a few cents cheaper than its frozen competitors, I think I will stick with some of my tried and true favorites to sustain my emergency burrito stash, such as Cedarlane Beans Rice & Cheese Style Burrito and EVOL Veggie Fajita Burrito.

Help save money with battery chargers from Sears
So many of our gadgets and household items today are battery powered. Batteries aren't that expensive, but costs can add up quickly if you're frequently buying them to feed those power-hungry devices. The best way to save is to make the transition to rechargeable batteries and battery chargers from Sears. By recharging the same batteries, you save money and help the environment.
Making the change to rechargeable batteries can be a challenge. The batteries have a high initial cost, but save you money in the long run. Once you make the switch to rechargeable batteries from Sears, you will see how convenient it is to have a refreshed set of batteries on hand whenever you need them. You won't ever need to run out to the store just because you want to turn on your device. Perhaps the most common concern though is compatibility, but standard and rechargeable batteries for electronics and appliances are often interchangeable. In other words, if a device takes AA batteries, rechargeable AA batteries will also work on your device.
For standard-sized batteries, you will also discover a lot of versatility. Sears has charger units that can handle several battery sizes and hold up to 12 batteries at a time. Chargers are not limited to general batteries like AA and AAA. You will find universal chargers for your smart phone batteries and even chargers for hearing aid batteries. For smaller portable units, use USB battery chargers so that you can bring your charger anywhere and plug into anything with a USB port.
For the most part, battery chargers and rechargeable batteries are sold separately. Sears has some starter kits will include both, but mixing and matching of brands is supported by all chargers and batteries. As a rule of thumb, however, it's a good idea to keep your batteries in branded pairs and groups of four, three or depending on what your devices call for. Not all replacement batteries are the same and some brands will have additional features like more capacity and faster charging capabilities. So you'll want to take features into consideration when purchasing and storing batteries.
By using rechargeable batteries, you'll save money and time. Sears has a diverse selection of chargers and batteries so you can find everything you need for all your electronics.

Good Job! Very skillful.
I thought I would give the Eternian Palace Guards a female, so I created Eclypse. I sculpted her armor as close to the males armor as I could, then gave her a bio to explain her origin.

TiVo Roamio Pro
Channel Master DVR+
starsCord-cutting is easy -- but finding ways to record your over-the-air TV programs is hard....
Nuvyyo Tablo
When the TiVo Series3 finally arrived in September 2006, it was the first cable-compatible TiVo to record high-def programming. But that long-awaited Holy Grail of TiVos came with a prohibitive $800 price tag that, in a world where cable companies provide serviceable HD DVRs for just a few extra dollars added to the monthly bill, scared off all but the most loyal or well-heeled TiVo fans.
That's where the TiVo HD comes in. Except for a smaller hard drive and more-generic cosmetics (no OLED front panel display and a less-fancy remote control), the TiVo HD delivers, essentially, the same feature set as the Series3 model for a much more reasonable $300. We gave the TiVo HD high marks when it was released in July of 2007, but were frustrated by the lack of some classic TiVo features. As of fall 2007, however, TiVo has made good on all its promises, and then some: new enhancements have been added via a free firmware update, delivering the TiVo To Go, Multi-Room Viewing, and expandable storage features that had been lacking on the unit. Furthermore, the company has added compatibility with the Rhapsody online music service, which effectively turns your TiVo into an on-demand jukebox. Yes, the TiVo HD's CableCard compatibility still means sacrificing video-on-demand and any other interactive functionality your cable company offers. That said, thanks to the TiVo HD's networking capabilities, you're getting a variety of online features that few--if any--cable company DVRs can match, including access to downloadable video content (Amazon's Unbox and TiVoCast videos), Internet radio, podcasts, streaming of music and photos from a networked PC, the ability to copy recorded programs to portable devices and transfer them to other DVRs in the house, and online scheduling control.
Yes, TiVo usage still entails an additional fee--various plans are available, ranging in price from $8.31 to $16.95 a month (with even better deals available if you lock into TiVo's promotional plans before February 2, 2008), depending on whether you pay in yearly or monthly installments--but so do the "free" cable company DVRs. (Also of note: TiVo's lifetime subscription fee--a one-time fee for the lifetime of the product--is no longer offered, but the company sometimes offers deals to existing customers to transfer subscriptions from older models. Existing customers should call TiVo customer service to see if they're eligible for any such offers.) If you're frustrated by the uninspired design and confusing navigation of your cable company's DVR, or you're the type of user who appreciates the additional entertainment alternatives offered by online media options, the TiVo HD is worthy of your consideration--and unlike the previous Series3 model, it won't break the bank.
The big caveats: Before you consider the TiVo HD
Before we delve into the details of the TiVo HD, prospective buyers need to know the following:
- No satellite TV compatibility: The TiVo HD is designed to receive only cable and over-the-air antenna broadcasts. It will not work with DirecTV and Dish Network satellite receivers. (Both of those services offer their own competing HD DVRs instead.)
- No SDV compatibility until 2008: Some cable providers have plans to use a technology called "switched digital video" (SDV). The technology is designed to maximize their available bandwidth, so they can offer additional channels--especially HD ones. Unfortunately, SDV technology is inherently incompatible with CableCard devices from third parties, including the TiVo Series3 and the TiVo HD. However, TiVo has confirmed that a workaround--in the form of an add-on USB accessory--will be available by the middle of 2008. Assuming that the solution stays on schedule, SDV compatibility should be just months away.
- No on-screen access to video-on-demand or other cable interactive features: The TiVo HD's SDV incompatibility is due to the fact that the CableCard technology it utilizes is a one-way (downstream) system. That same restriction means the TiVo HD--like all current third-party CableCard devices--also can't access the other interactive features offered by cable providers, including video-on-demand. (Note that this restriction is only for ordering PPV events using the onscreen menu. With most cable providers, you can call on the phone and order PPV to watch live on your TiVo HD, although you usually won't be able to record it.) However, the TiVo HD does allow access to Amazon Unbox and TiVoCast online video content not found on standard cable DVRs (see below for more info).
- Cox and Comcast customers may want to wait: Both Cox and Comcast have partnered with TiVo for the company to deliver a TiVo-like interface to the cable providers' existing DVRs. While the so-called TiVo Service for Cable will be somewhat stripped down--it won't have any of the online features mentioned below--it will access SDV channels, video-on-demand, and pay-per-view content with no problems. That's because it will be a software upgrade from the cable company itself, and won't be reliant on CableCard technology. The oft-delayed TiVo Service for Cable is finally supposed to begin rolling out to certain Comcast and Cox markets in late 2007. Check out a video demo of the service on CNET TV.
The basics: TiVo HD's DVR features
The TiVo HD's main mission is to record and play back TV shows. Along with its one-time rival, ReplayTV, TiVo pretty much invented the once-revolutionary hard disk DVR (digital video recorder) concept in the late 1990s, but it's since been commoditized by every cable and satellite TV provider under the sun. Basic features are as follows:
- Dual-tuner HD recording: The TiVo HD has two CableCard slots on its front side. Once the cards are installed (it accepts either two standard CableCards or a single multistream "M-Card"), the TiVo HD can record any of the channels (analog or digital, standard or high-definition) offered by your cable company. The important exceptions, as mentioned above, are video-on-demand programs as well as any channels using SDV technology. You can toggle back and forth between the two tuners by hitting the Live TV button on the remote.
- Over-the-air antenna recording: In addition to, or instead of, cable TV, the TiVo HD can receive and record standard-definition and high-definition TV signals via an antenna hookup (both analog NTSC and digital ATSC broadcasts are supported).
- Pause and rewind live TV: Like all previous TiVos--and all other DVRs--TiVo is always buffering live TV, so you can pause and rewind anything you're watching.
- 30-second skip: A quick and easy hack enables a 30-second skip feature on the TiVo HD. Once enabled, it makes skipping through commercial breaks on recordings as easy as tapping a button on the remote a few times. This feature won't be found on many--if any--cable company DVRs.
- EPG: All digital cable and satellite boxes and DVRs offer an onscreen EPG (electronic programming guide), but TiVo's steps it up a notch, with a degree of customization and configuration that most cable company DVRs don't offer. The guide extends 14 days into the future, and it can be displayed as a standard grid or as a split-screen "Live Guide," which breaks out several hours of program info from each channel on the right half of the screen.
- Season Pass: The TiVo Season Pass function lets you record every episode of a favorite show within the parameters you set. For instance, you can record every Law and Order episode on any channel and keep only the five most recent episodes, or you can record only the new (nonrerun) episodes in prime time, or both. This function has mostly been co-opted by other DVRs, but TiVo's Season Pass is generally more accurate and reliable than other cable DVR models, especially at delineating between new episodes and reruns.
- Wish List: The Wish List is just what it sounds like: you choose an actor, director, genre, or keyword, and TiVo will record any program that meets that criteria. Again, this feature is also starting to show up on other DVRs, but TiVo's implementation still tends to be more user-friendly than other versions we've seen.
- Universal Swivel Search: Earlier TiVos had a perfectly fine search function, but the company has upgraded the feature with something called Universal Swivel Search. In addition to being able to search on titles, actors, directors, and genres, Swivel Search adds cross-referenced lists, keywords, and related programs ("You may also enjoy..."). Moreover, Swivel Search goes beyond what's on TV, also searching programs available on TiVo via download on Amazon Unbox and TiVoCast.
- TiVo Suggestions: By default, TiVo also uses your TV downtime--overnight, when you're at work, and so forth--to record programs based on interests you express by using the thumbs-up and thumbs-down button on your remote. The more you vote on your viewing choices, the better your TiVo will become at finding similar, related programming, which it duly labels TiVo Suggestions. Some may object to this functionality as invasive or overkill--which is why it can be easily turned off--but for anyone who laments that there's never anything on TV, it's worth trying.
- KidZone: For parents looking for an easier way to control their children's viewing options, TiVo's KidZone function creates a walled garden of family-friendly viewing choices. Once engaged, the safe zone will let children watch only the shows and recordings you deem appropriate. Meanwhile, your episodes of Nip/Tuck, Family Guy, Dexter, and any other potentially offensive programs remain safely hidden from view until you disable the password-protected filter--presumably after the kids have been sent to bed. As such, KidZone goes above and beyond the simple ratings and channel lockouts available on other set-top boxes and TVs.
- Full resolution and aspect-ratio control: The TiVo HD offers a full range of resolution controls, so even the most demanding, tweak-happy high-def aficionado will find little to complain about. Component and HDMI output resolutions can be fixed to any standard resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i) or--if your HDTV has the scaling wherewithal--you can send the unmodified, native resolution of the channel as well (e.g. 720p for ABC, ESPN, and Fox; 1080i for CBS, NBC, and HDnet; 480i for standard-def programming). Likewise, flexible aspect-ratio control lets you stretch, zoom, or pillarbox non-wide-screen programming, and you can set the pillarbox colors to gray or black, according to your preferences.
The remote
The main TiVo HD unit itself has only a single button on its face, used for toggling the video output resolutions described above. Control options are left to the device's excellent remote. Shaped like a stretched-out peanut, it has a prominent TiVo button perched on its tip for accessing the main menu. Differentiation among button shapes makes navigating the remote by feel relatively easy. A smart-setup system lets the remote command your TV's power and input selection, while the volume control can affect either the television or an AV receiver. Prefer the backlit, "premium" model that comes with the Series3? You can buy it at TiVo's Web site for an additional $50. Alternately, any good universal remote will handle the TiVo HD's functions as well.
Like all recent TiVo models, the TiVo HD is completely network-ready and broadband enabled, straight out of the box. (Earlier TiVos needed to plug into a landline for their initial setup, which left anybody with cellular-only phone service or voice-over-IP out of luck, as they couldn't interface with cell phones and had iffy compatibility with VoIP services such as Vonage.) As with the Series3 and the Series2 DT, you just plug an Ethernet cable into its network port and you're good to go. If you prefer the wireless route, you can purchase the TiVo Wireless G USB Network Adapter, which interfaces with your home's Wi-Fi network. It's also compatible with WEP and WPA encryption. While the TiVo's built-in modem gets the job done via a phone line (it silently dials out in the middle of the night to keep the EPG up to date), the broadband connection is the way to go for anyone who wants to take advantage of TiVo's advanced networking and multimedia features, which distinguish TiVo from the rest of the DVR pack.
Unfortunately, you'll also have to schedule an installation with your cable company for the CableCard(s). We're still not sure why this can't be a do-it-yourself process too, because the only thing the tech has to do is slide the cards in and make sure they're up and running. Our local Time Warner tech had things set up in less than an hour.

Wow... thought I had clicked on the wrong 'favorite' until I read about the new look. It is fabulous.
Been gone for awhile but hope to get back in here once in awhile to keep up with how everyone is doing around here. Was having computer problems... so got a new computer but still have to load everything on it before I can get on-line with it. Hope the old one will stay working until then...
Wonder if the store will be getting a 'new look' too??
Kay - nice to see you drop in again. Sorry about your computer problems. I think most of us have "been there, done that", and don't want to ever go through that again.
Yes, the store front will be updated as well. I think it was a bit too much to be done all at once, but it will be soon. Doesn't it look great?
I love the new look!!
WOW! I stopped by just to check in and wanted to say congrats on the beautiful new look! It's wonderful!
Looks fabulous!

Give me a moment while I watch highlights of Lincecum's pitching last night for the fifteenth time, will you?
Okay, done.
No, wait. Now I need to go watch highlights of Lincecum's hitting last night! Takes "he can do it all" to a whole new level, doesn't it?
Last night felt like a party atmosphere to me. I kept thinking it was Orange Friday, but I think it was actually just a mid-week release of orange energy. Either way, there was no way the Giants couldn't win. And a 2-1 victory of the San Diego Padres made it all the sweeter.
And then there was Beltran. Boy, was there Beltran. In his first day back in the lineup he was 1-4, but that one was rather awesome. He hit his first home run at AT&T Park (aka, where baseballs go to die) and altogether made up for the time he's spent on the place that definitely warrants a scarier name than Disabled List. I am liking Carlos again. And feeling optimistic. Again.
The Giants are back on their by-the-skin-of-their-teeth ways and while that's a little hard while it's happening, it's fun to look back on. And it's not out of the realm of possibility to people to win divisions that way, now is it?
Houston is in town, now, which doesn't bring back the loveliest of memories, but there's no time like the present to start a winning streak.
And I just have to take a long moment to say, Milwaukee is really, really good. Like, mind-blowingly good. 10.0 games ahead of St. Louis and showing no signs of slowing.
Go far this year, they will, sense I.
Me and Yoda are doing predictions about baseball right now. If you want us to do one for you, all you have to do is ask. We're both semi-eternal optimists so we'll say nice things to you.
For instance, we see Zito coming back right at the end of the season and d-o-m-i-n-a-t-e. Isn't Yoda the best?

THOUSANDS of the worst families in England are to be put in "sin bins" in a bid to change their bad behaviour, Ed Balls announced yesterday.
The Children's Secretary set out £400million plans to put 20,000 problem families under 24-hour CCTV super-vision in their own homes.
They will be monitored to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals.
Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction.
Around 2,000 families have gone through these Family Intervention Projects so far.
But ministers want to target 20,000 more in the next two years, with each costing between £5,000 and £20,000 – a potential total bill of £400million.
Ministers hope the move will reduce the number of youngsters who get drawn into crime because of their chaotic family lives, as portrayed in Channel 4 comedy drama Shameless.
Sin bin projects operate in half of council areas already but Mr Balls wants every local authority to fund them.
He said: "This is pretty tough and non-negotiable support for families to get to the root of the problem. There should be Family Intervention Projects in every local authority area because every area has families that need support."
But Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: "This is all much too little, much too late.
"This Government has been in power for more than a decade during which time anti-social behaviour, family breakdown and problems like alcohol abuse and truancy have just got worse and worse."
As an ex-Brit, I'm well aware of the authorities' love of surveillance and snooping, but even I, a pessimistic cynic, am amazed by the governments latest plan: to install Orwell's telescreens in 20,000 homes.
£400 million ($668 million) will be spend on installing and monitoring CCTV cameras in the homes of private citizens.
Why? To make sure the kids are doing their homework, going to bed early and eating their vegetables. The scheme has, astonishingly, already been running in 2,000 family homes. The government's "children's secretary" Ed Balls is behind the plan, which is aimed at problem, antisocial families. The idea is that, if a child has a more stable home life, he or she will be less likely to stray into crime and drugs.
It gets worse. The government is also maintaining a private army, incredibly not called "Thought Police", which will "be sent round to carry out home checks," according to the Sunday Express. And in a scheme which firmly cements the nation's reputation as a "nanny state", the kids and their families will be forced to sign "behavior contracts" which will "set out parents' duties to ensure children behave and do their homework."
And remember, this is the left-wing government. The Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling, batting for the conservatives, thinks these plans are "too little, and too late," implying that even more obtrusive work needs to be done. Rumors that a new detention center, named Room 101, is being constructed inside the Ministry of Love are unconfirmed.
You know I can think of a couple of other possible reason there are social order problems; and they have nothing to do with the absence of TV cameras in private homes.
They've trivialised the justice system. Seriously I know someone who kicked an old man half to death, six months. Six months. The rest of that old man's life is ruined. Law and order? *snerk* The war on drugs has created a massive free supply of money, the lax borders and relatively easy yet illegal immigration has brought with it massive supplies of illegal firearms. The police don't even come into the estate anymore half the time, they wait until any chance of trouble has left and then sweep through in their cars to pick up the bits. Whether that's a conscious decision on their part or because people are unlikely to call them is anyone else's guess.
They've set the education system up to teach people without including justice in those teachings. If you're a bully and beat someone up then you've been very naughty, take a few weeks off to enjoy yourself. Quite asides from the obvious morale problems that are introduced in teaching students to memorise largely trivial information and then making that the measure by which their future is determined. And now they pretend to be all surprised when people don't behave themselves.
We don't teach responsibility anymore. And I
that makes me sound like an annoying old man, but I feel I've got just cause. (Then again so does almost everyone who moans I guess.)
<_<; *waves stick*
Even if they stick these things in someone's home what're the gov going to do? Watch, send the old ineffective brigade around. I have great misgivings about the rehab programs they use for this kind of thing, social disorder that is, and the kinds of people involved. Largely because I've seen people go through them, and more to the point fail to go through them.
We've provided people with a sense of entitlement by birth and when we punish people it's a small thing and always at a distance to the wrong they have committed. Is it any wonder they learn to act out? If you taught an animal like that they'd be insane. When they finally do run afoul of the law in a major way people go, 'How did that happen? There were no warning signs!' Yeah right. The pathology of criminal behaviour has and always will be the impulses we all feel taken to the extremes and removed of the limiting influences of the compassion they should have been taught by discipline and the violence of other more socially minded individuals. It is selfishness, taken to a psychotic extreme, and it doesn't just happen overnight.
We need a more holistic approach to reforming the values we teach within society, and I'm just not seeing how this is really going to help very many people. So because a section of the population conforms to those teachings we get this sort of nonsense; TV cameras in peoples' homes. It's a coin toss in my mind between whether this is something done on purpose or just an unfourtunate mistake.
I doubt enough people will care to do something about it though though. It's 20,000 out of a few million. Do it quietly, a bit at a time; justify it under anti-social behaviour restraint. If it gets defeated the first time you try to put it through then you take the bits that were going to go into it, split them up and tack them onto other laws. A few people will talk, for a short while, and then it will probably be forgotten. That's how you make this kind of thing work: softly softly, a bit at a time.
England has always been a little bit ugly internationally. Going to be an interesting few years coming up internally though I think.
Maybe I'm just overly cynical, maybe I'm just paranoid. I mean I realise I tend to look at the world in much more: Predator / Prey terms than most people. But I also know the kind of people they're talking about, the kind of people who don't come home for days after a big fight incase someone decides to follow them and knife them in an alley. I find it hard to believe that sticking TV cameras in their homes and sending people to have a sit down and a chat every so often is going to help any; I can't help but assign somewhat darker motives to it.

this whole thing scares me. I'm not gonna lie. It reminds me very much of V for Vendetta... except the people in V aren't monitored in their homes 24/7, rather they just have sweeps done of their home.
I agree with the fact that people aren't responsible or moral or whatever you want to call it. To be honest, it seems that every generation of kids seems to get lazier and much more mean.
The whole doing it in small sections is very smart though, but I mean, wouldn't people want to nip it before it gets very much bigger? I mean today it's just a few homes, but how can they be certain it will stay that way? If the gov. begins to think it is working won't they want to implement it into other homes as well to engineer model citizens? Maybe I'm being paranoid, but it all seems a little shifty to me.
I can't remember....oh *le sigh*

Well there's the problem I think: are they really thinking of it or are they just testing the waters by throwing something to a tabloid and seeing how it touches off? Would it be a case of '2,000 homes, 20,000 homes, 200,000, everyone?' Or would they be on the level with it? Not that if they were it would make it a good idea.
I'm really sceptical of the thing. (Oh I've no doubt someone has plans like that. There are people employed just to sit around and think up plans. But whether someone seriously intends to try and implement them.) The two links I posted are pretty much all I can find on it and the tabloids get used a lot to test out people's likely reactions to things, see what kind of backlash there is. If it looks too bad then every now and then you'll get something released in a watered down form.
Then again I know of things I'd have expected to make major news; the police radio system expenses for instance; that never seemed to feature on the news but were really significant. Information is really heavily segregated in some things. 'tis tricksey to work out what the people in charge are up to when you can't go and see for yourself. When you get down to it most of the information we have about what goes on in the country comes from writting on a bit of paper handed out by the gov or one of their agencies. That kind of reality is very malleable.

This is an

EDIT: Nem, your second link added this:
Nem's second link wrote:
UPDATE: Further research shows that the Express didnt quite have all its facts straight. This scheme is active, and the numbers are fairly accurate (if estimated), but the mentions of actual cameras in peoples homes are exaggerated. The truth is that the scheme can take the most troublesome families out of their homes and move them, temporarily, to a neutral, government-run compound. Here they will be under 24-hour supervision. CCTV cameras are not specifically mentioned, not are they denied, but 24-hour supervision certainly doesnt rule this out from the camera-loving Brits.
It remains, though, that this is still excessively intrusive into the private lives of citizens, cameras or not. I have added links to the source and also more reliable reports. Thanks to everyone who wrote in.

Hmm, somehow I missed this thread earlier.
Well, it doesn't surprise me terribly to see this kind of initiative come from the British government and law enforcement types. They loves their cameras, despite the fact that the cameras have little effect on the behavior of criminals.
If they're THAT concerned about the children in these families, though, then they ought to just take the kids and place them with foster parents.

I think this is all well-intentioned, but violates SO many rights on SO many different levels. Holy crap, I couldn't imagine being one of those folks under surveillance. And who gets to decide what's "right" under conditions like that? It's such an arbitrary, subjective thing...

First off: Jaw drop.
Second: Gotta agree with Darkwing here. Are these people really going to come over and do something if the kid stops eating his/her carrots? Or stays up fifteen minutes? Where is the line? Money being spent doesn't make sense without reasonable implementation. And this...looks like a government floundering for what they think the public will think should work, not what will work.
Being watched is scary. This is "okay, you were born here, so now we're taking you to a government compound and watching you to make sure you grow up according to pla--er, grow up right." Speaking of, where's the line for who's at risk? If it's, say, low-income, history of mental disease, how low-income, how much history? This whole thing is just so...1984, V for Vendetta, take your pick.
I agree with the fact that people aren't responsible or moral or whatever you want to call it. To be honest, it seems that every generation of kids seems to get lazier and much more mean.
People have said things along the lines of "The future generation will destroy this world" since Socrates' time, and doubtless before. It's like people who say the world will end tomorrow. Please don't blame us just because we're kids. We may not have finished growing, but most of us are trying. Dislike the people, not the group.
On a different note, did anyone else hear "Anyone who will trade freedom for security deserves neither." (Benjamin Franklin) Or [paraphrased] "The only way to create slavery is a little at a time, for the loss of freedom is so great that no man will willingly lose it all at once." (?) in their head while reading?

Lawyerly Lairs: Three Partners' Palatial Pads

After suffering through a brutal recession that was fueled, in part, by the collapse of the real estate market, you'd think that nobody would want to read about real estate ever again.

Published in the February 2013 issue, on sale any day now
Deep in her house, Megan Fox and I are discussing human sacrifice. I tell her about an Aztec ritual practiced five hundred years ago in ancient Mexico during the feast of Toxcatl, when the Aztecs picked a perfect youth to live among them as a god. He was a paragon, beautiful and fit and healthy, with ideal proportions.
Fox has been telling me about the toll that celebrity has taken on her, how the only way to keep from bending to the outside is to bend within. She's sitting on a sectional sofa in workout clothes and a sweatshirt that hide her body, her knees folded beneath her.
The sacrifice's year was filled with constant delight, I tell her. He danced through the streets adorned in luxurious clothes given to him by the master, decked in flowers and incense, playing magical flutes that brought prosperity to the whole world. He had eight servants and four virgins to attend to his every need, and could wander wherever he pleased. But at the end of the year, when the feast of Toxcatl came around again, the perfect youth had to smash his flutes and climb the stairs of the great temple, where the priests would cut out his heart and offer it, still beating, to the sun.
Megan Fox is not an ancient Aztec. She's a screen saver on a teenage boy's laptop, a middle-aged lawyer's shower fantasy, a sexual prop used to sell movies and jeans.
"It's so similar. It totally is," she says quietly.
The room, which has the feel of a finished basement, is packed with pinball machines and Lord of the Rings and Star Wars memorabilia. Darth Vader stares down from a poster on the wall. A life-sized model of R2-D2 keeps watch in the corner.
"I don't think people understand," she says. "They all think we should shut the fuck up and stop complaining because you live in a big house or you drive a Bentley. So your life must be so great. What people don't realize is that fame, whatever your worst experience in high school, when you were being bullied by those ten kids in high school, fame is that, but on a global scale, where you're being bullied by millions of people constantly."
At the end of the year, the beautiful youth had to go up by himself. He had to go up willingly. That was part of the deal.
Now she is shaking her head. "Not everyone understands that that's the deal," she says.
Megan Fox will not go willingly to have her heart cut out.

Caravan/Voyager Oxygen Sensor
Posts: 421
Hello all, I wanted to post this in the Problems and Solutions forum, but it is read only now. Just this past weekend, I was changing the spark plugs and wires. I was able to get to the Oxygen Sensor, but none of my tools could get a grip on it to loosen it. Is there a special tool needed for removal? 01 DGC EX w/3.8L engine. Thanks.
mfahey1 Posts: 419I'll be doing the same job to our 2001 3.8L in the near future. When I did the O2 sensor on my Bonneville, none of my tools gave me access to the sensor. The local auto parts store had a tool(about $18) that is best described as a deep well socket with the side removed. This allows clearance for the pigtail. Hopefully, this same tool can be used on the Dodge.
97xpresso Posts: 249Newer vehicles do have 2 heated Oxygen sensors, upstream and downstream. They are not accessible from inside the vehicle. I believe one is located in or just past the exhaust manifold, the other just past the catalytic converter. Like was mentioned above you need a special wrench and conductive grease to install replacements. These retail anywhere from $50-$100 a piece.
chessor Posts: 7Am in process of replacing my transmission in my 1996 dodge caravan 3.0 v6 with 3speed automatic without the overdrive. Have purchased a used transmission out of a plymouth acclaim looks like will bolt up to engine but is missing the crankshaft sensor. My question will transmission work without the crankshaft sensor. I don't think so?

chessor Posts: 7yes I just now finished taking gears from the transmission that didn't have the sensor and put in my transmission,but what a job got it installed works ok but now engine cuts off when it wants to but been doing that for sometime once it does stop running starts back up quickly. gives me code 37 error?
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,740The cutting out makes me think maybe there is a mass airflow sensor problem. According to other forums, code 37 is for "Torque converter clutch solenoid circuit or park/neutral switch failure." I doubt that is causing the engine to stall, though stranger things have happened, I suppose!
Well done replacing the sensor! Quite a chore, so I hope the price was right on that transmission!2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -

leotaur Posts: 17The engine warning light came on on our 2005 GC SXT here in Mexico, and they report the Emission Control needs to be replaced at a cost of about $300.00 plus labour..
Someone else said that the vehicle will operate satisfactorily without it, and we should have it disconnected and removed, and we can replace it on our return to Canada in the spring, and that all that will happen is a slight increase in fuel consumption.
We have noticed this already during the 3 weeks we have had the van running fine, since this light appeared,.After the local Chrysler dealer did a computer check. I saw the screen when he had it connected, and it was showing a fault with the "Emissions Control".Any advice ??DougW -
joepeterson56 Posts: 95I am only guessing, that that would be a heating element built into a 3 wire O2 sensor, and doesn't apply to a 2 wire sensor. As far as you still having the code after changing the sensor: 1) DID YOU ERASE THE ERROR CODE FROM THE ECM AFTER CHANGING THE SENSOR AND BEFORE TURNING THE KEY ON? 2) Are you aware the these vehicles usually have 2 O2 Sensors on them? Maybe you changed the wrong one, or maybe they were both bad. Hope this helps.

Order of Saint Benedict
Abbreviation | Benedictine |
Motto |
Ora et Labora
(Latin, "Pray and Work") |
Formation | c. AD 529 |
Type | Catholic religious order |
Headquarters |
Union of autonomous houses is supervised by the Abbot Primate of the Benedictine Confederation, Sant'Anselmo, Rome
Benedict of Nursia |
Website | http://www.osb.org/ |
The Order of Saint Benedict (OSB; Latin: Ordo Sancti Benedicti), also known – in reference to the colour of its members' habits – as the Black Monks, is a Roman Catholic religious order of independent monastic communities that observe the Rule of Saint Benedict. Each community (monastery, priory or abbey) within the order maintains its own autonomy, while the order itself represents their mutual interests. The terms "Order of Saint Benedict" and "Benedictine Order" are, however, also used to refer to Benedictine communities in toto, sometimes giving the incorrect impression that there exists a generalate or motherhouse with jurisdiction over them.
Internationally, the order is governed by the Benedictine Confederation, a body, established in 1883 by Pope Leo XIII's Brief Summum semper, whose head is known as the Abbot Primate. Individuals whose communities are members of the order generally add the initials "OSB" after their names.
Historical development[edit]
The monastery at Subiaco in Italy, established by Saint Benedict of Nursia circa 529, was the first of the dozen monasteries he founded. There is no evidence, however, that he intended to found an order and the Rule of Saint Benedict presupposes the autonomy of each community. As most monasteries founded during the Middle Ages adopted the Rule of St Benedict, it became a standard form of Western monasticism despite the absence of a Benedictine order.
Today, Benedictine monasticism is fundamentally different from other Western religious orders insofar as its individual communities are not part of a religious order with "Generalates" and "Superiors General". Rather, in modern times, the various autonomous houses have formed themselves loosely into congregations (for example, Cassinese, English, Solesmes, Subiaco, Camaldolese, Sylvestrines) that in turn are represented in the Benedictine Confederation that came into existence through Pope Leo XIII's Apostolic Brief "Summum semper" on July 12, 1883. This organization facilitates dialogue of Benedictine communities with each other and the relationship between Benedictine communities and other religious orders and the church at large.
The Rule of Saint Benedict is also used by a number of religious orders that began as reforms of the Benedictine tradition such as the Cistercians and Trappists although none of these groups are part of the Benedictine Confederation.
The largest number of Benedictines are Roman Catholics, but there are also some within the Anglican Communion and occasionally within other Christian denominations as well, for example, within the Lutheran Church.
In the English Reformation, all monasteries were dissolved and their lands confiscated by the Crown, forcing their Catholic members to flee into exile on the Continent. During the 19th century they were able to return to England, including to Selby Abbey in Yorkshire, one of the few great monastic churches to survive the Dissolution.
St. Mildred's Priory, on the Isle of Thanet, Kent, was built in 1027 on the site of an abbey founded in 670 by the daughter of the first Christian King of Kent. Currently the priory is home to a community of Benedictine nuns. Four of the most notable English abbeys are the Basilica of St Gregory the Great at Downside, commonly known as Downside Abbey, Ealing Abbey in Ealing, West London, St. Lawrence's in Yorkshire (Ampleforth Abbey), and Worth Abbey.[1][2] Prinknash Abbey, used by Henry VIII as a hunting lodge, was officially returned to the Benedictines four hundred years later, in 1928. During the next few years, so-called Prinknash Park was used as a home until it was returned to the order.[3][4]
Since the Oxford Movement, there has also been a modest flourishing of Benedictine monasticism in the Anglican Church and Protestant Churches. Anglican Benedictine Abbots are invited guests of the Benedictine Abbot Primate in Rome at Abbatial gatherings at Sant'Anselmo.[5] There are an estimated 2,400 celibate Anglican Religious (1,080 men and 1,320 women) in the Anglican Communion as a whole, some of whom have adopted the Rule of St. Benedict.[6] For a full list of all historic Benedictine houses in England and Wales, see below.
Monasticism had been introduced into the region of modern France during the Roman era by Saint Martin of Tours, who founded the first monastery in Western Europe. The Rule of St. Benedict was promoted by various rulers of France, especially the House of Capet. Figures such as Benedict of Aniane were authorized by the Emperor Louis the Pious and his successors to promote its adoption by monasteries throughout the Holy Roman Empire. It expanded throughout the next millennium, growing through periods of revival and decay over the centuries. Monasteries were among the institutions of the Catholic Church swept away during the French Revolution.
Monasteries were again allowed to form in the 19th century under the Bourbon Restoration. Later that century, under the Third French Republic, laws were enacted preventing religious teaching. The original intent was to allow secular schools. Thus in 1880 and 1882, Benedictine teaching monks were effectively exiled; this was not completed until 1901.[7][8][9][10][11]
Benedictine vow and life[edit]
Section 17 in chapter 58 of the Rule of Saint Benedict states the solemn promise candidates for reception into a Benedictine community are required to make: a promise of stability (i.e. to remain in the same community), conversatio morum (an idiomatic Latin phrase suggesting "conversion of manners"; see below) and obedience (to the community's superior, seen as holding the place of Christ within it). This solemn commitment tends to be referred to as the "Benedictine vow" and is the Benedictine antecedent and equivalent of the evangelical counsels professed by candidates for reception into a religious order.
Much scholarship over the last fifty years has been dedicated to the translation and interpretation of "conversatio morum". The older translation "conversion of life" has generally been replaced with phrases such as "[conversion to] a monastic manner of life", drawing from the Vulgate's use of conversatio as a translation of "citizenship" or "homeland" in Philippians 3:20. Some scholars have claimed that the vow formula of the Rule is best translated as "to live in this place as a monk, in obedience to its rule and abbot."
Benedictine abbots and abbesses have full jurisdiction of their abbey and thus absolute authority over the monks or nuns who are resident. This authority includes the power to assign duties, to decide which books may or may not be read, to regulate comings and goings, and to punish and to excommunicate, in the sense of an enforced isolation from the monastic community.
A tight communal timetable – the horarium – is meant to ensure that the time given by God is not wasted but used in God's service, whether for prayer, work, meals, spiritual reading or sleep.
Although Benedictines do not take a vow of silence, hours of strict silence are set, and at other time silence is maintained as much as is practically possible. Social conversations tend to be limited to communal recreation times. But such details, like the many other details of the daily routine of a Benedictine house that the Rule of St Benedict leaves to the discretion of the superior, are set out in its customary.[clarification needed]
In the Roman Catholic Church, according to the norms of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, a Benedictine abbey is a "religious institute" and its members are therefore members of the consecrated life. While Canon Law 588 §1 explains that Benedictine monks are "neither clerical nor lay", they can, however, be ordained. Benedictine Oblates endeavor to embrace the spirit of the Benedictine vow in their own life in the world.[12]

Squawking Chicken Articles
An Alamuddin wedding

I feel like I know more about this wedding than the Kanye West wedding. That said, you know who would agree with making the wedding as big of a f-cking deal as possible and broadcasting it far and wide? My ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken. It's a celebration. You don't hide a celebration in a corner. Full Story
The only Jackie Chan
Wenn, FameFlynet
Jackie Chan was in London yesterday promoting his film Chinese Zodiac. Look at him. I have been looking at him, watching him, since I was probably 2 years old. I'm 40 now. HE'S EXACTLY THE SAME. Ginseng > Botox. Maybe some snake blood too. He only takes one day off a year. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
It's the luckiest day of the year on the Chinese calendar:
August 8.
So what are you doing? Are you going to a wedding? Naturally, I'm having dinner with my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken. Speaking of the Squawking Chicken…
My book, Listen To The Squawking Chicken, comes out in paperback in Canada on October 28! There was a cover vote last week to pick the paperback face. Thank you for letting us know your opinion. I've attached the winning version. The paperback will include new content: an interview with the Squawking Chicken, feng shui tips, and some more information about the process of writing it. Click here Read Full Intro
Emma & Andrew's New York finale
Here are Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield at the big New York premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 last night, likely the last major carpet they'll walk together in support of this movie, and maybe this franchise? I haven't seen it. But, you know, you know what they say about Gwen Stacy. Full Story

Now that I'm moving to Toronto, I'll be able to take my ma to the movies. The process of taking the Chinese Squawking Chicken to the movies is, I imagine, kinda like taking a child to the movies in that your selection has to be very particular. For kids, no violence, no profanity, etc. For the Squawking Chicken, we avoid the talky ones, because she doesn't understand the language and also because she hates when people are long-winded, which rules out dramas. Full Story
Tiger's good luck charm
My ma always says -- some people bring you good luck, and other people will suck away all your luck. Chinese astrology has a lot to do with it. Every sign has its opposing sign. I, for example, am an ox. It would be terrible if I had married someone born under the sheep sign. If you have to, if that's who you happen to fall in love with, then the wedding date becomes critical. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Duana showed me a video a couple of years ago. It's the only time I've ever related to John Mayer, regardless of whether or not it was staged. Mayer's on the phone, trying to walk his father through a computer issue. He grows increasingly frustrated, his voice gets higher and higher, and the situation becomes more maddening...
Because, and I know you know this, parents + technology is a formula for suicide. Especially if your parents are immigrants. Especially if your mother is a Chinese Squawking Chicken.
So...my ma just learned how to text. See the attachment below. That was her first text to me yesterday. She followed this up with: HI R U WANT ORANGE?
From now on, unexpectedly, my ma will be able to drop into my life, in all caps, and cryptically critique my body or offer me produce. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
The Year Of The Dragon: 1928, 1940, 1952, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012. (If your birthday is between late January and mid-February though, check your exact birthday here to see if you fell in between the lunar phases that particular year and may be a different sign.)
If you are new to the site, every year my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, has a few suggestions to offer and protection charms to give away. This year was particularly challenging as she's been hospitalised since April but last weekend my dad took her to the Chinese place where such things can be procured. And now there are 12 of them. More on this later.
If you are of the Dragon sign, this year will not be a particularly smooth one. That's just how the cycle works. So it means you may not want to invest aggressively. Read Full Intro
Scarjo's rough patch
Wenn, Johns PKI/Splash
My ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, as you know if you've been reading my blog long enough, is all about feng shui and energy and protecting yourself against the bad sh-t. One time we looked at house on the market that turned out to be "dirty", and for weeks afterwards, that spirit would not leave me. Full Story
Let this be awesome. I feel like it could be SO awesome. And I am so exciting* for it I might have to punch myself in the face. Here are Annette Bening and Kristen Wiig on the set of Imogene. Described as a "dark comedy", Imogene features Kristen's character as a writer who pretends to kill herself because she wants her boyfriend to get back together with her. Full Story
From the book of Jesse James
Only the Brange can get away with this kind of PDA. And even if we disagree on everything, I think we can all agree that Kelsey Grammer is not Brad Pitt. But here he is the other day in New York, strolling down the street like it's a photo shoot, with his brand new 29 year old fiancée Kayte White, like puppy love looks good on a 55 year old embroiled in a public bitter divorce battle.
