His killer is still at large.
Stout, 49, served as alderman for one term and was found by Mound Bayou Police officers at his home on Dec. 31, 2009.
Mound Bayou's police chief at the time of the incident, Simon Bush, said in a previously published article, "The call came in around 8:45 Thursday. Stout had called and said he needed an ambulance, that he had been stabbed."
By the time officers arrived at the scene, Stout had died.
Bush said that Stout was stabbed multiple times in the chest and legs.
There was no sign of forced entry at his home; leading Bush to believe it was someone he knew.
According to Bolivar County Sheriff Kelvin Williams, they are still interested in finding suspects and information that could lead to an arrest, but at this point they lack the pertinent evidence to solve the case.
"The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and the FBI have been assisting with the investigation," said Williams. "But with their assistance we still haven't found the right evidence to solve the case."
Sheriff's deputies have talked to multiple witnesses and suspects but are still looking for more evidence to help solve the case.
Stout's niece, Wilma Stout, said, "We're hoping someone will come forward with any information that can help with the case."
Although the family has previously held vigils in honor of Peter Stout, they are not sure if they will hold one this year, according to Wilma Stout.
Bolivar County Crimestoppers is offering an award for any information that will help solve the case.
Tips are submitted anonymously and any information, whether believed to be important or not, is welcomed.
Bolivar County Crime Stoppers can be reached at 1-800-222-TIPS.
"We want the person who committed this crime brought to justice," said Williams. "We are still looking into it."

Silver lining in historic loss to Heat: Bulls still hold home-court edge
BY JOE COWLEY firstname.lastname@example.com May 8, 2013 8:41PM
Article Extras
Updated: May 9, 2013 9:56AM
MIAMI — It's not as if the Bulls didn't know a storm was coming.
They spent the 48 hours leading up to Wednesday night's Game 2 boarding up the holes in the defense, going over contingency plans on offense, even acknowledging to the media that they knew it was coming.
All that preparation, and then it hit.
Nine combined technical fouls handed out, a flagrant 1 foul and two ejections in Bulls big men Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson resulted in the worst playoff loss in the Bulls' history.
The Miami Heat tied the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series by dismantling the Bulls 115-78.
But as bad as it looked, and felt, Noah offered up a friendly reminder. The series was still tied, and the home-court advantage that top-seeded Miami had enjoyed three days ago, well, that's no longer there.
"We came here, we did our job, we won a game,'' Noah said afterward. "We've got the home court. We're a confident group, we got punched in the mouth [Wednesday night], but we'll be back, we'll be back in two days. That game isn't going anywhere. The ball is going to go up and we'll be there.''
The problem is which team will be there?
The one that walked into the American Airlines Arena on Monday, and swaggered their way out with a 93-86 shocker? Or the mess that was Bulls basketball on Wednesday? The Bulls were outrebounded 41-28, outmuscled by a smaller lineup and possibly could be down a few bodies after Noah and Gibson were tossed.
With 10:13 left in the game and down 94-56, Noah got off the bench after a foul was called on Marquis Teague, stepping on the court to make his case with official Scott Foster. Seconds after he was ejected, Gibson got into it with Foster. He was handed a technical foul, verbally went after Foster and had to be restrained by teammates as he, too, was ejected.
Both are going to be lighter in the pocketbook, and both will have to cross their fingers that it's not worse.
"Just frustrated,'' Gibson said, admitting he lost his composure. "I shouldn't have lost my cool. I should've handled it a better way and conducted myself better or walked away.''
Noah agreed.
"We have to keep our composure and play better,'' Noah said. "That's the bottom line.''
Especially against a Heat team that again seemed interested, after sleepwalking through Game 1.
"Game 1, we just didn't match their physicality,'' Heat guard Ray Allen said. "We started this game, they hit and we hit.''
The Heat hit more, and when it counted.
With Luol Deng (illness after a spinal tap) and Kirk Hinrich (bruised left calf) out, LeBron James set the tone against Jimmy Butler in the first quarter, scoring 12 of his 19 points by driving on Butler or posting him up. James then became a distributor the rest of his game, while teammates like Chris Andersen became enforcers, throwing elbows and shoves whenever they could at Bulls players.
"We got sidetracked and you can't do that,'' Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "So we allowed frustration to carry over to the next play. You come in here, you're not going to get calls. That's the way it is, that's reality.''
After being outscored 30-15 in the third quarter, reality was the game was over. Now, it's up to Thibodeau to get them ready for Game 3.
"Study the film, make the corrections, get ready for the next one,'' Thibodeau said. "Nothing changes.''

in the set up for A Fat Goblin quest (encounter 1) it tells me that my Monsters are Goblin Archers and 1 open group. it tells me to place the goblin archers on the exit and the open group on the grass lands.
than, under the reinforcements section of the set up it says: " At the start of each overlord turn, he may place 1 goblin archer on the Exit and 1 monster from the open group on the Entrance, respecting group limits. These monsters may be activated during the turn they are placed".
so here is my question.
can the 1 monster from the open group that i place on the entrance be a monster from any open group that qulifies for this encounter or am i limited to only placing 1 monster from the 1 open group that i selcted from the Monster section of the set up?
for example: during set up, the monsters that are avaibale for me to select from are the Merriod, the Barghest, the Cave Spider and theFlesh Moulder. if the 1 open group i selected at the start of the encounter was the Merriod (the 1 open group i placed on the Grasslands) at the start of my turn can i place 1 Barghest ("1 monster from the open group") on the entrance? and than at the start of my next trun place 1 Cave spider and than at the start of my next trun place 1 Flech Moulder? OR am i stuck with only placing 1 Merriod since that was the 1 open group i selcted at the beginning of the quest?
in other words does the "the" in "…and 1 monster from the open group on the entrance…" refer to the 1 open group selcted during setup or does the "the" refer to any of the qulifiying monsters in the open group?

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Most of LG's messaging phones in the U.S. have been geared toward CDMA carriers, like the LG Rumor 2 for Sprint and the LG enV2 for Verizon Wireless. Not so with LG's latest messaging phone, the LG Xenon, available from AT&T Wireless .
Not only does the Xenon have a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for messaging, it also has a large touch-screen interface similar to the one on the LG Vu. Unlike the Vu however, the Xenon has a home screen customizable with widgets, dedicated pages for favorite contacts and applications, and something called the "Annunciator," which is essentially a drop-down menu of certain shortcuts. Aside from that, the Xenon has almost the same features as the Vu: a 2-megapixel camera, a music player, a full HTML browser, stereo Bluetooth, and more.
Though we weren't thrilled with the Web browsing experience, we were overall pleased with the Xenon and think it makes an excellent messaging phone for AT&T customers. The LG Xenon is available for $99.99 with a two-year service agreement.
At first glance, the LG Xenon appears to be just another touch-screen phone. Measuring 4.16 inches long by 2.11 inches wide by 0.62 inch thick, the Xenon has smooth, sleek lines all around, with a touch of chrome around the border. It's a little smaller than the LG Vu and a little thicker as well. The Xenon is fairly lightweight at 3.81 ounces, and it's slim enough to fit in a front pocket.
Dominating its entire front surface is a large 2.8-inch touch-screen display. It's smaller than the 3-inch displays on the LG Dare and the LG Vu, but it still looks good. It supports 262,000 colors and 240x400 pixels, which result in great-looking graphics and colorful images. You can view the date, time, battery life, signal strength, and photo caller ID. Even when the screen is locked, you can see the date and time in a screen overlay. You can set the brightness, the backlight timer, and the font size. For dialing fonts, you can set the color as well.
Along the top of the screen are three icons, each of which corresponds to one of three customizable standby screens. You get one just for your favorite contacts, one for the home screen, and one for your favorite application shortcuts. All standby screens have four shortcut icons along the bottom, which correspond to the phone dialer, the contacts list, the messaging menu, and the main menu. The main menu interface is similar to the one on the Vu, with four tabs along the right to differentiate applications. You get one tab for Phone-related apps, one for Multimedia, one for My Stuff (which includes the media gallery plus productivity tools), and another for Settings.
For the favorite contacts screen, just follow the instructions to add a contact from your phone book. The contacts will then appear as small icons with the person's name, phone number, and photo. You can have up to three pages of favorite contacts, and you can arrange them on the screen however you wish by dragging and dropping the icons, or you can align them with the grid. You can also fix the icons so they don't change position with the screen orientation. As for the shortcuts screen, you can add up to nine shortcuts. To add and remove shortcuts, simply press and hold down on a shortcut icon.
The home screen is also customizable with a variety of widgets, similar to the TouchWiz interface on some Samsung phones. On the bottom left of the Xenon's home screen is a little right arrow that opens up to reveal a tray of widgets. There are only six to choose from, though; there's an analog clock, a world clock, the calendar, sticky notes, the image gallery, and the music player. To add a widget to the home screen, just drag and drop it on the page. You can then close the tray by pressing the little left arrow.
The LG Xenon also has a drop-down shortcuts menu it calls the "Annunciator." Simply tap the top part of any screen, and a list of shortcuts will appear. You can go directly to the music player, toggle the Bluetooth connection on and off, set your ring and vibration profile, send a new text message, send a new mobile e-mail, check your voice mail, start the instant messenger for either Yahoo, AOL, or Windows Live, set your alarm clock, or view the calendar.
As with all touch-screen handsets, you use only your fingers (or a stylus if you have one) to navigate the interface. It felt quite intuitive, and we liked that there was haptic feedback to let us know when our touch has registered. There's also Touch Calibration to ensure proper accuracy and responsiveness. Do note there's a slight learning curve involved. When we first started using it, we occasionally had issues when scrolling through lists--sometimes we would accidentally select something by mistake. We did learn to deal with this eventually, though. Dialing numbers went pretty smoothly, because of the large numbers on the virtual keypad. There's also a built-in internal accelerometer, but it only works with certain applications, like the Web browser--it would turn the screen orientation from portrait to landscape mode when tilted 90 degrees, for example.

Police: Oak Forest man to be charged in wife's death
By Mike Deacon email@example.com December 29, 2012 7:18PM
Firefighters walk past the scene of a suspicious fire at 15230 S. Central Avenue in Oak Forest Tuesday, December 18, 2012. | Brett Roseman~Sun-Times Media
Updated: March 25, 2013 1:04PM
An Oak Forest man whose wife was strangled before her body was found in their burned-out home Dec. 18 faces first-degree murder and aggravated arson charges in her death, Oak Forest police said Saturday night in a news release.
Martin Rodriguez, 48, who was found with his throat slashed and was hospitalized after the incident, is being charged in the death of his wife Erica Rodriguez, 40, a mother of three whose body was found after a fire at their residence in the 15200 block of Central Avenue.
The Rodriguezes were married for 17 years and have three children. There was no prior record of domestic violence or any type of restraining orders, according to the release.
The criminal complaint alleges that Martin Rodriguez strangled his wife and then set the house on fire. Rodriguez was expected to attend a bond hearing later Saturday night, the release said.
Rodriguez was still being treated for his injuries at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and was in police custody, police said. He was to be turned over to the Cook County sheriff's office once the appropriate documents were filed, police said.
The South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force and the Oak Forest Police Department handled the investigation.
Oak Forest Police Chief Gregory Anderson said in the release that police "have conducted a thorough and detailed investigation into this horrendous crime. Although these charges may be of little or no comfort to the family or the community, it does bring some clarity and information to them as to who committed this crime."
The children are staying with other family members.
Oak Forest police and Erica's family and friends have established a fund at Carlinville National Bank, 5459 W. 159th St., Oak Forest, to aid the family. New clothes and toys also are being accepted at the Oak Forest Police Department.

Penny's Low Fat Desserts offers a whole slew of big, low fat, all natural, preservative free treats. My sweet tooth is bigger than all of my other teeth combined , so when I discovered that Penny's No Sugar Added Chocolate Truffle Cookie was also all natural and low fat, I jumped at the chance to try it.
The fact that this chocolate-packed treat contains only 100 calories is somewhat mind boggling. Furthermore, each 56 gram cookie has 3 grams of total fat, 1.5 grams of which is saturated fat (5 & 7% of the daily value), 7 grams of fiber (26% of the DV), 3 grams of sugar, 14 grams of sugar alcohol and 3 grams of protein. The sugar substitutes come in the form of erythritol and rebiana (Stevia).
well, I set to work on getting my cookie heated in the toaster after checking out the nutrition facts. Penny's fudgy creation reminded me of a firm, yet dense brownie that was cut out of the corner of the pan. It's somewhat crumbly and will break apart, but with each bite that you excitedly place within your mouth (trust me, you'll be excited by this point), the crumbly and dense cookie transforms into a fudgy delight with a smooth and creamy truffle-like mouth feel. The dense, good-sized cookie is enjoyable and very chocolate-y; perhaps too much chocolatey goodness? No, what am I thinking!!
A 16 count box (or two) of Penny's No Sugar Added Chocolate Truffle Cookie can be ordered online for $28.99 ($1.81/cookie). This is not exactly cheap, but you should understand that these all natural, high fiber, no sugar added cookies are truly something special and will cure any chocolate craving, without leaving you regretting the calories.


text: New Orleans is a place where the timeless sounds of jazz fill the air on any given night. One particularly notable voice in this great city is the smooth and sultry ragtime sound of Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns. Lake, who has called the Crescent City home for over ten years, has quite the interesting past. Her career began in a South Dakota steakhouse at age nine, where she won a $500 singing contest, and years down the road she ended up in a traveling circus, performing an array of acts, including insect eating and fire dancing. It was during this time when Lake fell in love with the city and soon became a fixture on Royal Street in the French Quarter, busking and becoming one of the city's most admired street performers, often taking her act on tour both nationally and abroad.

Dimitri Pittas portrayed Rodolfo and Ana Maria Martinez portrayed Mimi in the first cast of Lyric Opera of Chicago's "La Boheme." The second cast is in place for March 9-28 performances. | Andrew A. Nelles~Sun-Times Media

♦ This is a Lyric Opera of Chicago
Article Extras
Updated: April 9, 2013 11:06AM
It's the fail-safe opera, one that requires no genius in the pit, no innovative direction, no great stars onstage.
No matter how many times we've seen it, we know that in the last minutes of Giacomo Puccini's "La Boheme," as Mimi is about to die or as Rodolfo is shielded from her death, we're going to cry and not much else that has happened is going to matter in retrospect.
So it was when "La Boheme," in a new production replacing Lyric Opera of Chicago's relic from 1972, opened Jan. 21 at the Civic Opera House.
However, this staging is a 1996 import from San Francisco (when that company was using a Broadway-size theater during earthquake-proofing of its home).
Michael Yeargan's winning sets are "new" but still wholly traditional. What else is one supposed to do — what else should one do? — with "Boheme"?
In the pit, Lyric has a passionate and serious conductor, Emmanuel Villaume, who lets the score be as sentimental as it is, but not more so, and who brings out the genius of craftsmanship and tunefulness that have kept this work alive for almost 120 years.
The Metropolitan Opera staff director with a highly operatic-sounding name, Louisa Muller, animates Mark Lamos' original concept and has a sense of how to make the performers playing these young bohemians actually seem like young bohemians.
Let's hope her unneeded fussiness in the last scene from opening night can be toned down or dropped altogether.
Lyric has offered a double cast for the show.
Megastars Anna Netrebko and Joseph Calleja take over the lead roles for the six March performances.
The supporting cast, which is the same throughout the show's run, is charming and strong.
The leads for the January-February run had their merits.
As Mimi, soprano Ana Maria Martinez at first seemed too mature for her part, but this could be due to Walter Mahoney's period-true mid-19th century costumes.
Her voice and manner opened up in Acts 3 and 4. Her "Donde lieta usci," proposing that she and Rodolfo part without rancor, was very fine, and her death scene was touching.
In his Lyric debut, tenor Dimitri Pittas simply did not have the power, range or magnetism for Rodolfo's solo numbers, but he was a caring partner as a singer and character.
Baritone Lucas Meacham is a natural Marcello vocally and theatrically.
While local favorite Elizabeth Futral does not have the megaphone that Musetta's vocal part requires, her stage performance is convincing throughout.
And these two North Carolina natives make an excellent "second couple."
Italian bass Andrea Silvestrelli is luxury casting as the philosopher Colline in the quartet of young garret-dwelling men.
Ryan Opera Center baritone Joseph Lim shows potential and a winning stage presence as Schaunard.
Veteran Lyric character bass-baritone Dale Travis handles Benoit the landlord and Alcindoro, Musetta's sugar daddy, with his customary insight.
Duane Schuler's wholly atmospheric lighting, guest chorus master Ian Robertson (also of San Francisco), the Chicago Children's Choir and the group's director Josephine Lee round out the pleasant cast.
Mimi always proposed waiting for spring as her life philosophy. You'll cry when she dies here.
Perhaps some fireworks will be added to the production in March.
Andrew Patner is critic at large for WFMT-FM (98.7).
Fans of Lyric Opera of Chicago can help support it through a local chapter.
Information is with Sharon Gibson at (708) 331-8782.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Senior US official to visit Taiwan 12-14 December
Text of report by Taiwanese Central News Agency CNA
Taipei, 7 December: The US deputy secretary of energy is to visit Taipei
next week, the highest-ranking US government official to visit Taiwan in
over a decade, the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) said Wednesday.
Daniel Poneman will be in Taipei 12-14 December, during which he will
call on President Ma Ying-jeou and senior government officials and
business leaders, according to AIT, the de-facto American embassy in the
absence of diplomatic ties between Taiwan and the United States.
"Building on extensive existing ties, Deputy Secretary Poneman will
promote greater public and private sector cooperation between Taiwan and
the United States in a number of fields, including scientific research,
nuclear energy and renewable energy technologies,"AIT said in a press
Meanwhile, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman James Chang said the
three-day visit shows that the US is honoring a commitment it made to
send high-ranking officials to Taiwan.
Chang added that the trip not only highlights the solidity of Taiwan-US
relations but will also further facilitate bilateral collaboration in
sustainable energy and technology.
Aside from meetings with officials, Poneman will give an address at
National Taiwan University 13 December on Taiwan-US cooperation in the
field of energy.
Last week, US Agency for International Development Administrator Rajiv
Shah also visited Taiwan. At that time, he was the highest-ranking US
government official from US President Barack Obama's administration to
have visited the island.
Several US officials have visited Taiwan this year, including Sandra B.
Henriquez, assistant secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, Suresh Kumar, assistant secretary of commerce, and Kurt
Tong, US senior official for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum

A Guide for New Arrivals in Boystown
More specifically, the mother who picked up her five-year-old daughter and carried her to the other side of the street when she saw me coming.
What You Thought You Saw
What You Actually Saw
If you move to the city with your children in order to expose them to the full range of human experience, do please remember the full range of human experience encompasses a broader spectrum than that found in an episode of "Friends."
And if you can't handle the likes of me, honey, just wait until Halloween.

Ain't it the truth! (And I sing the Lonely Goatherd song often - and get odd looks from the husband.)
- Jean said...
Oh, Franklin, what can I say? (I'm still working on your contest question from yesterday -- no ideas yet, but just you wait.) If there is a cleverer, funnier, wittier blog ANYWHERE I haven't seen it. All this, and knitting too!
Blessings, Jean - 1:59 PM
- JessRedRose said...
Can in-progress lace knitting be used as a weapon? I imagine the only damage would be a really weird pattern left on the skin.
This made me laugh and laugh but it's really kind of sad - how people make jugdments based on so little information. - 2:01 PM
- Anne said...
Oh Franklin, if you didn't exist, we would have to invent you.... Thanks for bringing a smile to my face.
- Cheryl said...
I cannot even imagine that. But I live in "white bread" America here in this little Western PA town.
- June said...
You remind me of a story - I went to the Univ. of Chicago for my undergrad (early 90's), and one evening, I was on the, um, farther South Side (somewhere around 70th or 80th Street?). [Interviewing for a tutoring job that I never got. But anyway...] It was dark and cold out, and I was waiting for a bus to take me back to Hyde Park. About a dozen thuggy looking teen boys had accumulated on the corner (the bus was a long time coming), and they were muttering and looking at me. I got paranoid (I'd already been mugged once) and crossed the street. After more muttering, one turned to me and shouted, "Yo, we just BLACK! You don't need to be scared 'o us!"
To this day, that memory makes me cringe. - 2:38 PM
- Lisa said...
This blog just kills me sometimes!! More cartoons!!
- Spinster said...
OMG. This is my first visit to your blog, but definitely not my last. Freakin' hilarious.
- Rachel H said...
Too funny! The Zephyr yarn I ordered via snail mail on Monday arrived at my door this afternoon - Canada Post displaying an unheard of speed which TOTALLY freaked me out- so I have no excuse now not to join the ranks of lace knitters.
- sep said...
ah yes, my fondest memory of urban living was trying to walk two big-ish dogs (Collie and Siberian Husky) down the street. nannies would see this big, fat lady grasping tightly to the leashes of what in her mind must have looked like slathering beasts. she picks up the master's darlings and scurries across the street. I took to yelling "They're not Bengal TIGERS, you idiot!" quite regularly. It felt kinda good :)
- doloreshaze said...
Franklin-I can completely empathize. The wife and I live in Hell's Kitchen, which has lately become overrun with beefy midwestern types who elbow each other and point when we walk by. I imagine that we are actually their "weird New York experience". "We saw actual LESBIANS walking right down the street! We tried to take a pitcher but they was too fast n' wily".
- Buzz said...
When i head downtown in chicago in my jeans, boots and black leather jacket, shaved head, goatee, I get the same thing...and actualy, I have to say, I enjoy it. The look is comfortable for me, and it keeps the riff-raff away. I like to think of it as Urban Armor.
The fact that I graduated from The College-Conservatory of Music, my mom is a minister and I'm a soft touch for dogs and kids all remains hidden inside...which is exactly the way I like it :) Judge not, leist ye be judged... - 4:20 PM
- Kristin said...
I almost spit my drink onto my keyboard when I read this post. Thanks for the very good laugh you just gave me!
- Jon said...
Are you saying the blue doesn't go well with your skin tone?!?
I can't believe you would actually listen to The Sound of Music. {shudder}
You need some nice Linda Eder to listen to, deary. - 4:45 PM
- Jennie said...
Hysterical. Outstanding.
And what's with both you and gofugyourself referencing The Lonely Goatherd today? - 4:58 PM
- Marie said...
This blog is the greatest, you are so funny. It is a good thing you got out of Uniontown when you did. I think you are in a much better place now. As for me I am stuck just west of Uniontown in Waynesburg. Keep the cartoons coming.
- Anonymous said...
I'm kinda in agreement with Jon on the Julie Andrews (ick) maybe some nice Andrea Bocelli? Then you could sing to it too and truly freak the twit out!
Oooohh, even better, try walking and using the drop spindle, she'll probably faint!
AnnaMarie - 7:35 PM
- Lee Ann said...
Yodelayhee yodelayhee yodelayheewho.
Thanks. Now when I lie awake at night staring at the ceiling panicking about how much I have to accomplish in the next day, I can do it with a soundtrack.
Is this payback for the spindle thing, or what?
I have a pierced ear and a biker jacket. Quite possibly the smallest biker jacket you will ever see. In fact, rather than make me look tough, it makes people laugh that "they come that small? buahahahaha..."
Sigh. Can't be tough for tryin'... - 8:15 PM
- Jan aka Warrior Knitter said...
I noticed the lonely goatherd thing, too & another blog I read this evening referenced Julie Andrews.
"The hills are alive!" - 8:50 PM
- knit chick said...
Franklin, I've met you in person & the last thing I would do is shield a small child from being exposed to you.
LOL. Thanks for the chuckle. Your cartoons always crack me up. - 9:05 PM
- CynCyn said...
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who rocks out to the von Trapp family. I had 2 days in Salzburg. I spent one of them on the official Sound of Music tour. And loved every minute.
Don't forget she might've thought you were a terrorist. I mean, we really have to watch out for those swarthy looking men. You know they're all terrorists... (eye roll) - 11:28 PM
- Christopher said...
Once I was picking my niece up from a school softball game with the Lonely Goatherd blaring from the cd player.Her cousin and sister were with me. We thought it fun to have her get into the car blasting campy broadway with a crowd looking on. I say Broadway because it was Mary Martin and not Julie Andrews- I'm sure Jon is still shuddering regardless!
- Felicia said...
FRANKLIN! Come clean the soda off of my work monitor!!!
Your cartoons are precious! As it your wit.
BTW, I've told a few coworkers who routinely see me reading your blog that I'm having your Love Child. - 12:30 AM
- Rabbitch said...
I can't wait until my daughter starts explaining "Uncle Stuart and His Boyfriend" to her kindergarten class.
I'm sort of hoping she doesn't get expelled. (And sort of hoping they try).
I'm awfully sorry this happened to you, though. - 2:07 AM
- Marilyn said...
You? Scary? I'd happily let you watch my children any time.
Of course, they're in their 30s.
What's with the Julie Andrews? I can't imagine that you'd listen to Bocelli. Bubbles, maybe, but not Bocelli. - 7:31 AM
- Colleen said...
That woman should move to MY hometown in Kansas where we have this tall Asian drag queen who would make Bobby Trendy blush. And then there's the "That's My Dillons." Or the big huge mountain main who dresses in combat boots and frilly flowered Amish dresses.
We're much safer in Kansas. - 9:05 AM
- Colleen said...
I mean to say "and then there's the 'That's my Dillon's' guy who walks around with the dripping grocery sack" but it didn't come out right. Sorry.
- Nicholas said...
I used to get a different reaction from people. I had hot pink and spring green hair, eight earrings in each ear, wore a black leather corset with big punk boots and facial hair and for some reason tourists constantly wanted their picture taken with me near some Seattle landmark. I think I was their "hardcore" points for the trip or something.
- Ween said...
June reading your post made me recall a similar moment of shame from my past.
While my husband was in college I took a second job to help pay for school as a server. Well this one night the restaurant which was small, was packed. One of my tables was a single gentleman, probably in his mid 40's, wearing a wife beater tank top, sporting a shaved head, goatee, and some bad ass biker boots. Well he got up from the table at some point and I didn't see get up. He had been gone for what seemed like a very long time and I asked the male server go check the bathroom because I just knew that he had skipped on the check and I was pissed because I was going to have to pay for his dinner. Well the server never made it back to the restroom which was fine because he came and sat back down, politely asked for his check, paid and left. I felt like the biggest ass in the world when I saw that he had left me a $50 tip on an $11 check. UGG, I need to go do a good deed today ... I feel I still owe the karma gods for that one!
Franklin your blog just keeps getting better and better! Thanks for the laughs!!

Made in the U.S.A. by VesseL.
Skillfully produced with clay, water and fire using proprietary techniques, the Architectural Pottery S4 Planter/Container is 100% earth-gendered recyclable. From materials and specifications to glazes and firing techniques, VesseL U.S.A. hand crafts each piece with passion and integrity from licensed original designs.

The S4 Planter/Container is available in a wide range of matte or gloss glazes. For outdoor use, an optional drain hole may be specified.

Eco Friendly
Material(s): Ceramic
Dimensions: 18" Dia X 13" H
Designer: La Gardo Tackett
The career of California ceramics designer La Gardo Tackett (1911-1992) had a chance beginning due to an unlikely friendship between an LA graphics designer, Lou Danziger, and a New Jersey meat packer, Max Lawrence, who shared a love of modernism. In 1949 while Tackett was teaching at the California School of Art in Pasadena, Danziger told Lawrence about Tackett and his students making planters and sculptures that looked like "white doughnuts, halved avocados and stacked pyramids".
Lawrence's wife decided to view their work and within months the couple began mass-producing the ceramics and Architectural Pottery was born. When the catalog was released in 1950, architects began ordering the pieces and MoMA selected most of the items for its 1951 Good Design exhibition. La Gardo Tackett became famous for his hourglass-shaped designs.

VesseL USA Inc. was founded in 1998 to revive stunningly simple planters and other ceramic designs that brought acclaim to the Architectural Pottery Collection, a Los Angeles company founded in 1950 by Max and Rita Lawrence. Prominent mid-century LA architects such as Richard Neutura and Pierre Koenig favored the pottery line for spare, geometrically ordered residential gardens and commercial buildings. Pieces from the Architectural Pottery Collection were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York as early as 1951.
VesseL USA is the sole licensor of the award-winning Architectural Pottery Collection, including hand-crafted planters, containers and garden sculpture. Original designs are commissioned and produced by VesseL USA from designer specifications.

I finally got someone to at Directv to figure out my problems with them not being able to add the MRV flag. As simple as it was, it took 10 different CSR's to figure it out.

They can't add MRV with while being on an obsolete plan (which adds an additional $3.00 a month)

text: (Attica, OH) The decision has been made and fans of Attica Raceway Park have voted Josh Muntz's first career feature win on August 28th as their favorite moment of the 2010 race season. Muntz's victory won the poll with well over 400 of the nearly 900 votes collected from the fans on atticaracewaypark.com.Back on Attica Raceway Park's Season Championship Night, Muntz would drive to the top of the track to take the lead with Jake Trevino, Bobby Clark, Dan Hammond and Nate Dussel in tow. Clark would quickly grab second place and race right onto Muntz' rear bumper. Muntz had to hit his marks perfectly over the course of the 25-lap event with Clark right on his tail. In the end, Fremont, Ohio's Josh Muntz would lead every lap and earn his first career Attica victory in the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints. Each poll featured five events that stuck out in the minds of the Attica Raceway Park staff from the past season for one particular division. The fine fans of "Ohio's Finest Racing" speed plant than had a month to vote to help determine what was the most exciting event for that division. Once each divisional winner was selected they were polled against each other to ultimately decide what was the greatest moment of 2010 at Attica Raceway Park.

We already had an idea Beyonce was into MCM when we saw her carrying a Cognac Visetos shopper a few weeks ago - but it is now confirmed as she was spotted coming out of Cipriani restaurant in NYC with a Patricia Field for MCM reversible large shopper (in green). She definitely is one of the first happy few to own part of the range as it just launched at the beginning of this month with a lavish party at Patricia's studio in Bowery (read more here).
The singer's outfit was a perfect example of NYC casual chic. The leather jacker and sky-high heels are balanced out with skinny jeans and a simple white tee-shirt while her bag adds a touch of quirkiness... Not to forget the mandatory superstar aviator shades!
She was wearing this outfit for a meal at Cipriani, a trendy restaurant which is the almost exact replica of the original Harry's Bar in Venice. The menu there offers a mixture of Harry's Bar classics and Italian favourites. You could treat yourself to a Beyonce day if you are in NYC: just pop on your skinny jeans and your most extravagant heels, carry your favourite MCM bag and head over to Cipriani with some friends! It isn't that hard to be a star sometimes...
... and if you want to learn all of Beyonce's moves, you can get her "I am... World Tour" dvd, which came out on Monday!

There's a SKYN® condom that's right for everyone. So what's your SKYN® type?
read more >A revolutionary material, a new world of experience and no natural rubber latex allergies: what's not to like?
read morePolyisoprene is not like natural rubber latex. The molecules in Polyisoprene are very different, and they give SKYN® condoms some quite revolutionary characteristics.
Most importantly, this means a SKYN® condom gives a close to natural feeling. Plus SKYN® condoms are rigorously tested and meet the highest safety standards. So this makes SKYN® condoms as sensible as they are sensitive. All of which makes SKYN® condoms the modern choice.

I bought a matching set for our back porch (one for in the seating area, one for under the gas grill and another runner leading to the stairs) and love them all. I loved them all so much that I also ordered a round one for under our table. Everything is now pulled together nicely. 2 comments: 1-the round one is not constructed of the same foundation so it curls. Week 2 and still waiting for it to lay flat. 2-the runner's border color is slightly off from the others but not too noticeable.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Looks exactly as pictured and matches current carpet covered deck. Good quality!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug was perfect. The quality is excellent and the color was exactly as pictured. It is being used in a school setting and the material will be perfect for the heavy traffic.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Looked better online. I put this rug in the entry, but it is a little stiff and ruff to walk on.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Chose the natural and blue. Just as pictured online. Perfect match to the round rug (same style) I ordered several years ago for my entry. The rectangular one goes in my dining room adjacent to the entry. Very pleased with whole process, and delighted to find the same rug in the exact size and color needed to compliment the one I had already. Thanks, RugsUSA!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Very pleased with this rug, which I purchased in the 9x12 terra cotta for a covered porch with dark redwood floor. The rug is flat woven canvas. A nice surprise was that the center panel contains threads of the border background color, so it isn't just a simple canvas rectangle. The terra cotta background is a bit lighter than shown & very pretty.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.First time ordering with USA rugs. Terrific experience from start to finish.The rug is gorgeous and excellent workmanship. Perfect for our new screened-in porch!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Looks much better than most indoor/outdoor rugs. We have it in an entryway and it's very inviting.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Help! Volvo 165 - I want to convert to a biodiesel 4x4.
I want to convert my 165 (1971) into a biodiesel 4x4. Is it possible, is it probable, what are my options for parts?

lappmarre Posts: 1I'm the nut who went through a lot of trouble to "upgrade a 145". The illustrative picture above was stolen from my site about the car:
Not necessarily by Mr_Shiftright, of course, and certainly not unexpected - that's what happens when you put material on the net. Remember the web is global, yes..:-).
However: I only registered to correct a few conclusions in this thread. As assumed originally, Volvo did not build the 165 (other than a few prototypes, one or two also sold in Australia as told by a rumour).
There are quite a few private built 165's in Sweden, though, so you shouldn't be that surprised if you see pictures floating around. More can be seen at the Swedish club 164 homepage:
And as wheelbase among lots of other stuff differ between 140 and 160, there is no easy way of building a 165. Definitely not as a "145 upgrade". Still, with only a handful existing, the easy way of getting your hands on one is to build it yourself.
Wish I could contribute with some input about the original thread questions too, sorry :-). -

There is just no way I can live without a buttery spread. Real butter comes at a hefty nutritional price. Land o Lakes Salted Butter, for example, provides 100 calories and 7 grams of saturated fat (37% of the daily value) per tablespoon! While wanting to be nutritionally savvy, some things just don't taste right without a touch of butter - mashed potatoes doesn't taste as creamy and delicious, and what roll doesn't taste even better with a little dab of the yellow stuff?
I searched for many alternatives, and found Brummel & Brown Spread. This spread is made with 35% vegetable oil and 10% natural yogurt, which cuts the calorie and fat content substantially but leaves the melt-in-your-feeling like real butter. The flavor is sweet and salty at the same time, with a very slight hint of a yogurt taste, which to me only makes it better. And the consistency is perfect for spreading.
Instead of 100 calories per tablespoon from butter, the yogurt-based Brummel and Brown Spread provides 45 calories for the same serving size. Furthermore, the saturated fat content is lowered to a mere 1 gram (3% of the daily value), out of 5 grams of total fat. The only downside is that there are partially hydrogenated oils listed in the ingredients . Why, Brummel & Brown, with your healthy butter alternative, do you have to include this in your otherwise wonderful product?!
To me, it seems like a toss-up - indulge in saturated fat-laden butter, or stick to a small serving of this lower-calorie (albeit trans fat-containing) alternative. I think I'll choose the latter. At $3.28 for a 16-oz tub, this seems like the right choice for me. How about you?

Foreign Policy: Why Can't the Syrian Opposition Get Along?
September 8, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Kate Seeyle
Kate Seelye is Vice President of the Middle East Institute. Prior to joining MEI, she worked as a radio and television journalist covering the Arab world from her base in Beirut, Lebanon.
The buoyant images of Libya's rebels, who are currently tearing down the last vestiges of Moammar Gadhafi's regime, have also underscored the challenges facing the fragmented opposition in another Arab country — Syria. Five months after the start of an uprising against President Bashar Assad that has left more than 2,200 people dead, dissidents are still struggling to forge a united front that could duplicate the role played by Libya's Transitional National Council (TNC).
The TNC was created just 12 days after the start of the Libyan uprising, quickly organizing resistance to Gadhafi within the country and lobbying for support on the international stage. By contrast, the opponents of Assad's regime have held gatherings in Antalya, Turkey; Brussels; Istanbul; and even Damascus, the Syrian capital, to shape the opposition's leadership and articulate a road map toward a democratic Syria. But as of yet, Syrian activists in the diaspora have failed to establish an umbrella group that has earned the endorsement of the only body that can confer legitimacy — the protest organizers inside Syria.
Although Assad's brutal crackdown has undoubtedly made this a difficult task, the absence of a united front has hindered the opposition's ability to effectively communicate to regime-change skeptics that there is a credible alternative to the Assad government.
The disarray in the anti-Assad camp is recognized all too well in Washington. "I think the [international] pressure requires an organized opposition, and there isn't one," said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, when asked on Aug. 11 why the United States didn't throw more weight behind the protest movement. "There's no address for the opposition. There is no place that any of us who wish to assist can go."
Given the lack of a recognized leadership, different Syrian groups — mainly based in the diaspora — have been jockeying to assert themselves. Most recently, on Aug. 29 young dissidents speaking on behalf of a revolutionary youth group inside Syria named a 94-person council to represent the Syrian opposition. At a news conference in Ankara, Turkey, Syrian dissident Ziyaeddin Dolmus announced that the respected Paris-based academic Burhan Ghalioun would head the so-called Syrian National Council, which would also comprise the crème de la crème of Syria's traditional opposition.
Dolmus said the council would include many of the traditional opposition figures based in Damascus, such as former parliamentarian Riad Seif, activist Suhair Atassi, and economist Aref Dalila. "Delays [in forming a council] return our people to bloodshed," he said at the news conference, which was broadcast by Al-Jazeera.
But no sooner had the council been announced than it started to unravel. When contacted by the media, Ghalioun and the others quickly distanced themselves from the announcement, claiming they had no prior knowledge of it, according to reports in the Arabic press. Later, Ghalioun denied any association with the group on his Facebook page.
One Washington-based Syrian activist, Mohammad al-Abdallah — whose father, Ali al-Abdallah was named to the council — dismissed it as a joke.
Others said it was an attempt by young revolutionaries, upset over the lack of progress, to put forward a wish list of opposition members.
U.S.-based Syrian activist Yaser Tabbara, who had helped organize a gathering of anti-government Syrians a week before in Istanbul, called it "an earnest attempt by youth to reach out and demand that we move faster than we have been."
According to Tabbara, the Istanbul conference that concluded on Aug. 23, was motivated by a similar sense of urgency. "It has been five months since the uprising started, and we don't yet have a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Assad and his cohorts for their massacres," said Tabbara. "Part of the reason is that some in the international community, like India, Brazil, and South Africa, do not see a viable alternative to this regime."
The four-day Istanbul gathering, according to organizers, sought to unite all the efforts of previous opposition efforts under one banner.
Few of the groups or individuals from previous opposition gatherings attended the meeting, however. Members representing a consultative committee that emerged from a June opposition gathering in Antalya withdrew at the last minute, claiming, according to Reuters, that it "did not build on earlier efforts to unite the opposition."
The conference was further handicapped by what Syrian journalist Tammam al-Barazi called "the perception that it was held under an American umbrella." Its organizers included members of a grassroots community group based in Illinois, the Syrian American Council.
Although dismaying, the opposition's divisions and sniping are hardly surprising. Most activists grew up under the Assad family's authoritarian rule, and their differences reflect the many divisions inside Syrian society, which is split by sect and ethnicity as well as ideology. The opposition includes Arab nationalists and liberals with little trust for the Muslim Brotherhood, whose supporters were accused of dominating the first Istanbul conference organized in July by a leading human rights lawyer, Haitham al-Maleh.
