Several elections in Marin County remain too close to call because of the number of ballots remaining to be counted, the registrar of voters said Friday.
Elaine Ginnold said about 7,500 ballots still need to be tallied before the results become official, including mail-in ballots and provisional ballots that require further review.
"We'll probably have the bulk of the ballots counted by next Friday," she said. "We're counting just as fast as we can."
According to updated numbers released Friday afternoon, Measure F, the $394 million bond measure to rebuild Marin General Hospital, was still holding a two-thirds majority. Out of 40,717 votes counted, more than 68 percent are in favor of the bond.
Ginnold said it was unlikely the outstanding ballots would change the outcome for Measure F.
In three other races, thin margins continued to separate potential winners from potential losers.
In San Rafael, Maribeth Bushey Lang is leading Greg Brockbank by 238 votes for one of two City Council seats. The elections office has counted 18,279 ballots in the race. The other open council seat was locked up by Kate Colin.
In Larkspur, City Council candidate Kevin Haroff is leading Daniel Kunstler by a mere 39 votes out of 7,066 counted so far. Catherine Way and Daniel Hillmer have won the other two seats.
In the Larkspur-Corte Madera School District, fewer than 100 votes separate four candidates for two of the open seats. Daniel Durkin has 1,552; Andrea Pierpont, 1,505; Maya Tuve, 1,488; and Nadine Aarsheim, 1,460.
The third open seat has gone to Susan Christman, who leads all candidates with 1,944 votes.

Maverick Guitar Builder Makes Music Out of Steel and Weather
- |
- 7:00 pm |
- Permalink
LOS ANGELES – In a small workshop a pick's throw from downtown L.A., a French luthier pays homage to the quintessential American electric guitar using a most unusual material.
From across the room, the Trussart Deluxe SteelCaster may look like a '52 Fender Telecaster. But lay your hands on it and you immediately know this cool chunk of welded steel didn't come out of the Fender Custom Shop.
James Trussart combines the vintage aesthetic of classic American guitars with a flair for the unusual to create beautiful instruments that sound as sweet as they look.
"What's different about what I'm doing is I'm using steel," Trussart said. "It reacts differently and affects the tone. At first people didn't think it would work. But there was something I liked about the tone."
He isn't alone. The people playing Trussarts reads like a who's-who of guitar geeks and gods.

As the fruit snacking mama of the house, I keep lots and lots of fresh fruit around. Since learning to eat healthier (and snack healthier) I find myself grabbing a banana or an apple when I'm craving something sweet. I also like to keep a fruit stockpile around for the kids when the "mommy, I'm hungry" starts just an hour before or after dinner. Among all the fruits we've tried or eat regularly, there's one that hasn't been in the fruit basket. The mango!
It seems mangos as the soccer of fruit so to speak. They are the world's most popular fruit but not yet in the U.S. which probably explains why until this week I've never even tried one. It was a very unfamiliar fruit and I like to stick with what I know. But I'm glad I was introduced to the mango because it's a great fruit. Not only is it sweet (but not too sweet), it's tender and it's quite healthy for you. I recently learned that …
Mangos are an excellent source of vitamins C and A, both important antioxidant nutrients. Vitamin C promotes healthy immune function and collagen formation. Vitamin A is important for
vision and bone growth. Mangos are a good source of dietary fiber. Diets low in fat and high in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables are associated with a reduced risk of some types of cancer.
And, the kicker, they're only 100 calories for one cup of sliced fresh mango fruit.
So I sat down with the kids, sliced open one and went to work at getting it cut up into bite-sized pieces for everyone to try. If you're as unfamiliar with the mango as I am, you might want to check out this How to Cut a Mango video that offers up a couple easy techniques.
After taste testing the fruit fresh, we decided to whip up a batch of Apple Mango Tango Mini Muffins that are packed with juicy fruit but tender and delicious for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
The mini version goes a long way in snack bags too. You can watch in below as Emma and I prepare this recipe. For other resources and recipes with mangos be sure to check out this Mango Recipe collection.
The National Mango Board challenged me to spend a week creating healthier eating and snacking habits for my family. Join the conversation and one of my readers will receive a cookbook and a chance to win a shipment of mangos and $200 gift card to Williams-Sonoma.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of National Mango Board. The opinions and text are all mine. Official Sweepstakes Rules.

Nick Parks, have you forgotten that it was your British Royal Air Force that created this whole vicious cycle?
In the 1920s the RAF began bombing and machine-gunning villages in Mesopotamia (now Iraq) so that Britain could exploit the oilfields nearby. Until that time, the Arab people were very well-disposed to the West because Lawrence of Arabia et al. had freed them from Turkish control during WW1.
But this RAF campaign of terror attacks on innocent civilians is what incited Muslim people in the Middle East to hate Westerners, and eventually led some to counter-attack by planting bombs among innocent people in Western countries.
Your country waged terror attacks on them because you wanted their country's wealth. Now they are waging terror attacks to you because they want your country's wealth. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
The next stage in this vicious cycle is predictable. Just has the West has progressed from manned aircraft to computer-controlled ones, the Middle Eastern militants will progress from the haphazard delivery of large bombs by manned cars to precise, targeted delivery by computer-controlled ones. They must be delighted by Google's driverless car.
Of course there could still be some collateral damage: when a Google bomb car finds its way up a drone-pilot's driveway in some Nevada suburb, his family and the next-door neighbours may be killed as well. But that will be legally OK, because of the precedent already set by the CIA.
Death from afar?
How about this: Crimes against humanity from afar.
Historians will ultimately declare America's conduct with drones to be that which it amounts to: UN rule violating crimes against humanity.
The fact that no party to the UN treaty has made this declaration is disturbing, and indicting of the UN's practice of turning a blind eye to the conduct of certain members of the UN Security Council.
Earth Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Drones
It seems there is a bit of a fundamental misunderstanding on the use of drone strikes here. First off, targets aren't identified from 10,000 ft up in the air. A drone is not randomly sent to the Afghani-Pakistani border region to scout for targets and shoot them based on the shape of the blip from up in the air. No, these targets are tracked and identified based on intelligence gathered on the ground. Behind every drone attack there has been a man on the ground somewhere who identified & tracked the target and forwarded his location back to command, who then decide on the course of action to be taken (sending a drone).
As for the ethics of drone strikes, the how and why - this is such an incredibly complex question exacerbated by the fact that the 'war on terror' as it has been undertaken (the invasion of Afghanistan etc) was executed in the completely wrong way. That in itself already contributes greatly to the difficulty of actually tackling the problem, although it has to be underscored that succes has been booked in several areas of Afghanistan and that the Taliban/AQ have lost quite a bit of control.
The problem lies mostly with weak states that allow the gathering and organisation of dangerous elements in their society. Fixing that is the main battle, not directly 'hunting down' the terrorists. Though if the nations whose help you need are unwilling and unable, what can you do?
The history of war includes the history of invention. Nothing motivates invention like the immanent threat of being killed. Every invention of a new weapon leads to the invention of countermeasures and defenses. A drone is presently an offensive weapon without a practical defense or countermeasure.
If we wish to control the use of drones, we need to look at how the use of other novel weapons has been controlled. Most of the time, a weapon ceases to be used when it's superseded by something better. I'm not sure what would be better than a drone at this point, although maybe someday some kind of satellite-based ray gun will take its place. In some cases, a weapon ceases to be used when countermeasures become very cheap and successful. Strong doors make battering rams obsolete. In a few cases, well-matched combatants agree to foreswear the use of certain weapons like poison gas, hollow-point bullets, and nuclear bombs.
Presently, the US has a great tactical advantage in drone technology. With such asymmetry, there is no need for the US to agree to any sort of anti-drone treaty. Weapons that are even better than drones not only haven't been invented, but are unnecessary as long as current drones do the job satisfactorily. That leaves defenses and other countermeasures. It surely won't be long before tech-savvy weapons manufacturers in Russia and China offer anti-drone missiles that are at least capable of knocking out the simpler and slower drones. It also won't be long until we see a proliferation of all sorts of "homebrew" drones, since it doesn't take much to weaponize a cheap, readily-available model airplane.
I wouldn't be too surprised to see the future battleground move to aerial robot battles, but the US' unilateral advantage can't last much longer. And, in the end, war is still only won by occupying and holding territory. The idea of winning a war solely via "surgical air strikes" has been seducing military planners and politicians for a long time, but it never works in practice. Wars always end up being about who gets to control which part of the earth, and that requires occupying territory. That in turn always exposes the occupiers to attack, whether by ground forces with small arms or by drones from the air. There always has to be an end game in which even the "winners" of the drone war have to put boots on the ground, at which point the tables can easily be turned against them.
Its because of people like you that the Chinese (the citizenry, not just the government) will feel noble and justified in their own rampant use of drone strikes when they inevitably commence in the next couple of decades. There will be 1.3 billion people who believe that any criticism of their government's drone program is tantamount to an attack on Chinese sovereignty, and we shall all suffer for it.
Remember, we are not the only lion in the jungle, and to believe that the desires of the mighty constitutes "morality" is to set a disastrous precedent for humanity.
Some observations:
1) War is a nasty business. People will always get upset when another nation imposes their will by force.
2) Drones are clearly very effective tools for waging war. Traditionally one of the biggest problems in counter-insurgency warfare is that you need tremendous numbers of soldiers to control the countryside. Drones go a long way in providing control over the countryside.
3) Some people in this forum appear to regard the USA as a force of evil, but I think the USA is a force of good. The choice between the Taliban nightmare and the American dream is a no-brainer if ever there was one. Drones are scaring the hell out of those people that want to harm the US. I think that is EXCELLENT news.
4) We need more drones, bigger drones and more awesome drones.
American don't care as long as not American dead.
It is just a computer game for the far-away-Ami-probably-with-tie-and-suits-pilots anyway.
The answer to your experiemnt is clear. Assuming that China does not have authorization to conduct "war on journalists" on American soil, the most likely scenario would be a military response with conventional forces, with potential to escalate into a nuclear exchange. Therefore, I'd highly recommend that China does not try it.
That said, this experiment has nothing to do with the current situation:
1. The U.S. has secured the authorization of the nations involved to pursue those terrorists (in some cases paying billions of dollars for it)
2. Even if it didn't, the likelihood of a military response is pretty small - and of one that could significantly hurt the U.S. is virtually nil
3. Before anyone starts with the scare that Pakistan is a nuclear power, please re-read item 1. Again, even if that was not case, Pakistan lacks the ability to project power, so it is not the same as facing China or the U.S.
As for the charge of imperialism, it seems that you are the one who does not understand the doctrine. The central tenet of imperialism is to exploit resources of colonies. Pakistan and Afghanistan have no resource that the U.S. wants to exploit. It simply wants to pursue war criminals that those countries authorities cannot.
Yeah, I'm sure they avoid as many civilians as possible when bombing emergency workers and first respondents.
Obama is a tyrant and war criminal. He deserves to be in the dock at the Hague, not in the Oval Office
You don't touch on the psychological toll of living with imminent death from above, all day, every day. Also, the way the targets are selected and the number of civillian casualties make this little more than state-sponsored terrorism.
Isn't it absurd that in retaliation for 3000 dead on 9/11, 100,000 have been killed in Afghanistan, 100,000 in Iraq and countless more in related violence around the globe?
Is the world any safer? Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Mali, Nigeria, Syria, Libya. Oh boy.
Except that there are important differences. Remotely piloted aircraft are able to linger over a target area undetected in order to observe a potential target while it is being evaluated, then strike within seconds. A piloted attack jet cannot do this. Targeting is less precise and the chances of error far greater. The wedding party which was attacked by piloted aircraft in response to gunfire is a good example of this A drone operator observing and evaluating the scene would not have made this error.
You could also look at another way. We could always go back to the old "Operation Rolling Thunder" and just have B-52's do round the clock carpet bombing. Or we could do what we did at the end of WWII when there were still the occasional german sniper and shell the offending village to the ground.
Or we could just let people who have declared war on us just do whatever they want without consequence.
Mistakes do happen but a drone strike is one of the better alternatives. Sometimes innocent people get in the middle but to put the complete blame on the U.S. is disingenuous. When someone provides a place to stay and supply they make themselves part of the problem. Is it always fair? No it isn't. So we should just let radical islamists just run around and kill whoever they want?
I and many others would be happier if there was a better alternative.
Big deal. War is never beautiful.
Sure, maybe the villagers do have more to fear from their neigbours. But maybe you have more to fear from your own neigbours than these Pakistani villagers that you terrorize?
Maybe you should fear more the little boy whose parents are incinerated by the drone. What's he going to do when he grows up?
Yup. Come to think of it, what has the CIA ever done right?
It was their incompetence that allowed the 9/11 attacks to go ahead.
China and Russia now have the technology to build themselves a new kind of drones-- The relatives/friends of the victims of Uncle's drone attacks.
The debate over drone strikes is interesting to say the least. Whether this program will come to bite America back or not is unclear. No doubt the strikes have been effective in killing terrorists without having to put human lives at risk. But the legal ramifications of flying over another country to do these targeting assassinations is iffy. With this clandestine campaign, national borders are essentially disappearing from international law and the sovereignty of nations are being compromised. The importance of getting authorization by other governments is crucial to avoid future problems.
When "they" decide to stop trying to kill us....we can stop killing "them" first.
This is no worse than artillery shelling. Innocents die when combatants use them as shields.
What about America destroying other countries around the world? Its no justification of extremist action but in most cases what we are seeing around the world today is a direct consequence of America's foreign policy, where it sides with regimes for political and economic gains irrespective of the impact that has on the people in the respective countries.
And the so called 'five rules' of drone strikes, laughable to say the least! isn't it a subjective judgement on what is right and what is wrong? and who gets to decide that?

What are the thoughts on sealing the my flagstone coping? It seems a lot of pools have flagstone, so not sure if this is needed. Thoughts? |

I like to seal mine with a wet look sealer...I use the Quikrete brand it really makes the flagstone show its colors...Also with a salt pool it's just a good idea to do it... |
- Posted by zookeeper93 (My Page) on Sun, May 27, 12 at 10:54
Oh yes, Seal Oklahoma flagstone. While we have a chlorine pool, our flagstone is eroding, has gullies from run off, spalling and crevices where kids hands have held on to coping. It is more susceptible when wet. The Polaris wheel even gouged a track in one stone. While the colors blend so well with moss rock, I would never put in flagstone again. The upkeep might be worth it to some. Since ours is not salt water pool, our builder did not recommend sealing. Now, in our 3rd full summer, the effects are costing us greatly to renovate it and seal it. |

Try both on a piece of leftover stone and then decide which finish you like.... |
- Posted by zookeeper93 (My Page) on Mon, May 28, 12 at 21:15
If you have a stone yard within decent driving distance, see if you can locate Techniseal WL4 Protector sealer. It is deep penetrating sealer with a satin finish, so enhances color but not a shiny look. It's not the cheapest thing you will find (like at box stores) but not the most expensive either. This was priced at $58 a gallon, which isn't too bad. We will do our moss rock as well. It will keep the moss from growning :( but I can't have this erosion anymore. |
- Posted by zookeeper93 (My Page) on Mon, May 28, 12 at 21:21
Techniseal also makes a penetrating sealer that is no color enhancement so you it will look like dry rock. I forgot to mention that, since we are doing wet look without the shine. If you are not in a rush, I will post picks as soon as it is done so you can see what satin finish looks like. Sealing should be Wed or Thurs if it does not rain. |
- Posted by zookeeper93 (My Page) on Tue, May 29, 12 at 20:50
I meant to say color enhancement, not no color enhancement. However, today, the talk was, techniseal would not be good for my sandy stone but a stone sealer by Prosoco, called Sure Klean Weather Seal Siloxane PD. Totally penetrating, no stone enhancer, so you wont know it is there. It allows moister out but not in. It lets stone breath, so to speak. Looking into it more before we decided. |
hey zookeeper, what did you decide to do with your coping and what product did you use on yours. i see the product you have listed above but trying to decide on 3 or 4 i have found on the internet. Thanks! |
- Posted by funinthesun1 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 10, 13 at 20:27
We relocated to Houston and had the same problems with our flagstone pool coping, it was flaking and leaving a sand residual in the pool. My pool cleaner referred me to a company called flagstone sealers. They came out and cleaned and sealed the flagstone using dupont saltwater resistant sealer, took about 2 gallons. The sealer looks like milk. Its been three years now and the flagstone looks great. Sorry I am not a DIY . Doris |

We just bought a new refrigerator for our pantry at Lowes. Got a reasonably good deal but did not do my usual super-bargain hunting. In other words, we didn't haggle, etc. When the guy delivered it, Hubby saw a big dent in the back corner - maybe 4" tall by 2" wide. Hubby asked the delivery guy and he said we should call the store for a discount because of that. I'm OK with the dent - it'll never be seen, etc. So question #1 is what kind of discount is standard for a pretty good sized dent at the back of a refrigerator that wasn't bought as a scratch 'n dent? Right after the delivery guy left, I came home and saw the new fridge for the first time. What Hubby missed is a scratch on the front door. It's about 1.25" long and right at my (short-person) eye level, so below his usual line of sight. It's pretty thin -- looks just like a dog hair actually, so I'm assuming that's what Hubby thought it was ;-). But it's not. It's a scratch that goes all the way through the paint to the bare metal. This *does* bug me and I don't want to live with the door scratch. I want a new door. So question #2 is what kind of discount (above and beyond the dent discount #1) is fair for a 1.25" scratch on the front door of a refrigerator that wasn't bought scratch 'n dent? Hubby says he can fix the paint so that "I'd never see it..." He's *very talented*, but honestly, I'm skeptical. But this IS the pantry, and the grocery list could cover it... Obviously, we need to talk to Lowes today - Your thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
No real clue, but if I had to guess I would throw out 10%-20% off. If it does bug you, I would expect it's fair to insist on having them replace it with another one in new condition. |
- Posted by footballmom (My Page) on Thu, Dec 6, 12 at 14:40
I was in our local Lowe's two days ago (york PA) and was looking at the scratch and dent refrigerators. They were having a fabulous sal on the non scratches so I expected that the damaged ones would be highly discounted. One of the damaged fridges which was a display with a pretty good dent in the bottom door had been 2900.00 and was reduced to 2000.00 They also had one with a repaired handle on the freezer which was normally 3200.00 and it was reduced to 2200.00 It sees as if they reduced theirs by approx 1/3. |
We just got back with what I think is a good result: about 20% off for the dent in the back and they're bringing out a new door and installing it tomorrow. I'm happy with that result -- Thanks! |
That's good. It's one reason I sort of have to admit I like dealing with the big chains. The guys you deal with don't suffer when something needs doing so they're perfectly happy to make it right. |

Any doubts as to whether Gwyneth Paltrow can play a contemporary country-music star a honky-tonk pop princess in the down-home upscale mode of Shania Twain get dispelled in the opening scene of Country Strong. Kelly Canter (Paltrow), a country superstar, lounges on her stomach in a rehab center, her legs swung provocatively behind her, as she flirts with a handsome orderly (and aspiring singer) named Beau (Garrett Hedlund). Paltrow's casual drawl sounds right; her face, lovely but unmade-up, looks just worn enough to spell out ''Sexy Survivor of Hard Times''; and when she tries out a fragment of a number Beau has written, it's in a crystal-clear high voice a songbird twang.
So far, so good. Then Kelly's manager/husband, James (Tim McGraw), enters the room and, sensing a rival, drags her out of rehab a month early to jump-start her career. There is, of course, a scandal: The year before, Kelly fell off an arena stage in Dallas while drunk and lost the baby she was carrying. You'd think that might call for an orchestrated lack of drama in her life, but that's not what happens in Country Strong. James pushes Kelly into a three-city trial tour, and Beau, at Kelly's insistence, comes along as her ''protector'' and opening act. As if to balance the flirtation equation, James also books Chiles (Leighton Meester), a beauty queen-turned-singer who idolizes Kelly but would love to step into her shoes. It's no wonder that when Kelly finally goes on stage, she falls apart and can't perform a scene that echoes Ronee Blakley's onstage breakdown in Nashville.
But Country Strong, alas, treats Kelly's messed-up concert not as the warning sign of disaster it clearly is but as just one more garish moment of overheated country-movie melodrama. Written and directed by Shana Feste, the film keeps throwing things at you: drunk scenes, adultery scenes, All About Eve rise-of-the-young-rival scenes. Yet despite the presence of some appealing actors, none of it quite adds up. The movie stitches together bits and pieces of other, better films, from Sweet Dreams to Crazy Heart, with a minimum of emotional coherence. Scene for scene, it's not abysmally staged, but it's a cliché-ridden, heart-on-the-sleeve mess.
Garrett Hedlund, from TRON: Legacy, proves his range here. He's hunky in a low-down Brad Pitt way, with chops to boot (quick, someone cast him as Jeff Buckley!). His character's actions, though, make little sense is Beau out to save Kelly? Woo her? Or woo Chiles? and, unfortunately, that's true for Kelly as well. As she grabs another bottle of Smirnoff, we can see that she's ''wrestling with demons,'' but where did those demons come from? The closest thing we get to an explanation is a back-of-the- limo speech about her not being allowed to pierce her ears as a girl. The film's songs are catchy, Tim McGraw (The Blind Side) has a teddy-bear-cute coolness, and the climactic concert is a doozy it shows that Gwyneth knows the spangly high-powered joys of country music. Too bad that in Country Strong, she's too busy acting out the hysterical and mostly nonsensical sorrows. C+

Chicago—February 22, 2008—Cars.com has sifted through sales and incentives offered by car companies to let consumers know what site experts consider to be the best deals on the market.
"While we have a list of the Top 10 Cash-Back Offers on Cars.com and a list of all available incentives to help shoppers, we have gone beyond just the numbers," Cars.com managing editor Patrick Olsen said. "We've analyzed the incentives on the market and determined the ones that we feel are great deals for consumers."
While the cars making the best-deal list may not have the biggest rebates in terms of dollar amount, Cars.com considers them the best offers available right now. Cars.com experts took into account their experiences driving the cars, along with other factors, including safety and ownership costs, to find the best deals of the month.
2008 Kia Sedona
Cash back: $1,500
Percent off MSRP: 7.2%
Expires: 3/3/08
Kia's minivan has been an underachiever for some time, but is still one of only three minivans to earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick award. The interior isn't the best in the class, but the base price and long warranty are alluring. Add up to $1,500 cash back -- depending on where you live -- and the Sedona makes for a great deal.
2008 Ford Focus
Cash back: $2,400
Percent off MSRP: 16.8%
Expires: 2/29/08
Make sure you check out Ford's website to get the total cash back available for your area. Cars.com checked a number of different regions and found a combined cash-back offer of $2,400 as the best available, but there could be more. $2,400 is quite a bit considering the Focus' MSRP. The Focus was redesigned for 2008, and its interior is much improved from the past model and has an optional Sync hands-free entertainment system. It's not the best in terms of ride quality, but it does get great mileage and has very responsive steering.
2008 Dodge Caravan, 2008 Chrysler Town & Country
Cash back: $1,500
Percent off MSRP: 7.0%, 6.7%
Expires: 2/29/08
Opinions on the two redesigned minivans from Chrysler has been pretty split among staff members at Cars.com. Most of our experts didn't like the new interiors, while one reviewer was blown away by the bevy of family-friendly features available in both. Ride and handling is vastly improved over the outgoing models. Chrysler also recently announced more added features in certain trim levels of both minivans, including once-optional items that are now standard.
Cars.com maintains a list of the best cash-back offers each month based on percentage off MSRP, plus a comprehensive list of the most recent national incentive information. In addition to updated incentive information, Cars.com has an incentive calculator to help consumers determine whether a cash-back offer or low-interest financing rate is a better deal. For more incentive information, visit the Cars.com incentive page at
Cash-back offers can vary by region, so make sure to check the manufacturers' websites for deals in your area.

Will Blu-ray be the Last Physical Medium in Home Theater?
May 16, 2011 12:55 PM, By Jason Bovberg
Beyond its paucity of compelling web-enabled features, Blu-ray also seems now to be scrambling to keep up with the already-fading 3D craze, and the result is that it has taken its eye off the ball. Just as 3D has always been a gimmicky fad in public theaters, so shall it remain, for now, in the home theater. Nevertheless, Blu-ray spent a lot of time and effort—still is, in fact—trying to thrill home audiences with comin'-at-ya technology, and by doing so it has splintered what should be a narrower, more compelling focus.
And that lack of focus opens the door to the other, more pernicious factor: the incredible rise of media streaming and rental services. In my home, we are suddenly and rather deeply involved with media streaming through both Netflix and Comcast On Demand. No more than a week after implementing Netflix in our home-entertainment system, in fact, my kids had completely forgotten about our rather substantial "family movies" DVD collection and had switched over to the streaming mentality, ready at any moment to fire up the Nintendo Wii and choose from the vast selection of kids programming. DVDs and Blu-rays had suddenly become a giant inconvenience. Even those movies we already have on disc, they'd rather access through Netflix!
I'm an aging technophile, so I don't see myself making so quick a transition, but I do appreciate convenience as much as the next guy. I already make heavy use of the DVR, which gives me the convenience of fast-forwarding through annoying commercials on broadcast TV. And I appreciate the ease with which I can call up a favorite film or TV show from Netflix's extensive and growing selection. But I still place tremendous value on my DVD/Blu-ray collection. If nothing else, these are my backup media for entertainment I might eventually store on my PC. And they'll almost always play perfectly, compared with streaming media that sometimes experience bandwidth issues. But I also realize that I'm increasingly in the minority with my physical-medium opinions. And data pipes and streaming capacities will only grow larger.
Given the near ubiquitous nature of these kinds of subscription services, what could possibly be the next physical medium? The fact that 3D Blu-ray isn't exactly thriving leads me to think it won't be a disc. A USB key? A card with a magnetic strip? More likely, physical media will continue to fade. I can now imagine my daughters growing into a world that contains no physical media. That reality was easy to imagine with music, isn't quite as easy with video content, and remains most difficult with books. But at this point, anything is possible.

Mughal architecture
This article does not cite any references or sources. (August 2014) |
Mughal architecture is an architectural style developed by the Mughals in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries throughout the extent of their empire in the Indian subcontinent. It was an amalgam of Islamic, Persian, and Indian architecture. Mughal buildings have a uniform pattern of structure and character, including large bulbous domes, slender minarets at the corners, massive halls, large vaulted gateways and delicate ornamentation.[1] Examples of the style can be found in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal and Bangladesh.
The Mughal dynasty was established after the victory of Babur at Panipat in 1526. During his five-year reign, Babur took considerable interest in erecting buildings, though few of which have survived. His grandson Akbar built widely, and the style developed vigorously during his reign. Among his accomplishments were a tomb for his father Humayun, the Agra Fort, the fort-city of Fatehpur Sikri and the Buland Darwaza. Akbar's son Jahangir commissioned the Shalimar Gardens in Kashmir.
Mughal architecture reached its zenith during the reign of Shah Jahan, who constructed the Jama Masjid, the Red Fort, the Shalimar Gardens in Lahore, and the most famous Mughal monument, the Taj Mahal, as well as many other fine examples of the style.
While Shah Jahan's son Aurangzeb commissioned some buildings such as the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, his reign corresponded with the decline of Mughal architecture and the Empire itself.
Agra Fort[edit]
Humayun's Tomb[edit]
Buland Darwaza[edit]
Jami Masjid[edit]
Jahangir the Hindu features vanished from the style; his great mosque at Lahore is in the Persian style, covered with enameled tiles. At Agra, the tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula, which was completed in 1628, was built entirely of white marble and covered in pietra dura mosaic. Jahangir also built the Shalimar Gardens and Nishat Bagh, and their accompanying pavilions on the shore of Dal Lake in Kashmir. He also built a monument to his pet deer, Hiran Minar in Sheikhupura, Pakistan and due to his great love for his wife, after his death she went on to build his mausoleum in Lahore.
Shah Jahan[edit]
Rather than building huge monuments like his predecessors, Shah Jahan built elegant monuments.His predecessors built huge buildings to demonstrate their power.The force and originality of their building style gave way under [Shah Jahan] to a delicate elegance and refinement of detail, illustrated in the palaces erected in his reign at Agra and Delhi. Some examples include the Taj Mahal at Agra and the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal, the wife of Shah Jahan. The Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque) in the Agra Fort and The Jama Masjid at Delhi are imposing buildings, and their position and architecture have been carefully considered so as to produce a pleasing effect and feeling of spacious elegance and well-balanced proportion of parts. Shah Jahan also built the Tomb of Jahangir and sections of the Lahore Fort that include the Moti Masjid, Sheesh Mahal, and Naulakha pavilion which are all enclosed in the fort. He also built a mosque named after himself in Thatta called Shahjahan Mosque. Shah jahan also built the red fort in his new capital in shahjahanabad in delhi. Red fort made of red sandstone is famous for its special buildings-diwan-i-aam and diwan-i-khas.Another mosque was built during his tenure in Lahore called Wazir Khan Mosque, by Shaikh Ilm-ud-din Ansari who was the court physician to the emperor
Taj Mahal[edit]
The Taj Mahal, the "teardrop on the cheek of eternity" (Rabindranath Tagore), was completed in 1648 by the emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal.the construction of taj mahal -a world herirage site took 22 years.22000 labourers and 1000 elephants were used to build the monument. It was built entirely out of white marble at the cost approximately 32 million rupees. It is one of the seven wonders in the world .Its longest plane of symmetry runs through the entire complex except for the sarcophagus of Shah Jahan, which is placed off centre in the crypt room below the main floor. This symmetry extended to the building of an entire mirror mosque in red sandstone, to complement the Mecca-facing mosque place to the west of the main structure.
The Taj Mahal (1630–1648) in Agra, India and the Shalimar Garden (1641–1642) in Lahore, Pakistan, are two sites which are on the world heritage list of UNESCO. The Taj is considered[by whom?] to be one of the most beautiful monuments of the world and was included in the Seven Wonders of the World list.
Aurangzeb and later Mughal architecture[edit]
main article: Bibi Ka Maqbara
In Aurangzeb's reign (1658–1707) squared stone and marble was replaced by brick or rubble with stucco ornament. Srirangapatna and Lucknow have examples of later Indo-Muslim architecture. He made additions to the Lahore Fort and also built one of the thirteen gates which was later named after him (Alamgir). Aurangzeb also built the Badshahi Mosque which was constructed in 1674 under the supervision of Fida'i Koka. This mosque is adjacent to the Lahore Fort and is the last in the series of congregational mosques in red sandstone and is closely modeled on the one Shah Jahan built at Shahjahanabad. The red sandstone of the walls contrasts with the white marble of the domes and the subtle intarsia decoration.
Additional monuments from this period are associated with women from Aurangzeb's imperial family. The construction of the elegant Zinat al-Masjid in Daryaganij was overseen by Aurangzeb's second daughter Zinat-al-Nisa. Aurangzeb's sister Roshan-Ara who died in 1671. The tomb of Roshanara Begum and the garden surrounding it were neglected for a long time and are now in an advanced state of decay. Bibi Ka Maqbara was a mausoleum built by Prince Azam Shah, son of Emperor Aurangzeb, in the late 17th century as a loving tribute to his mother, Dilras Bano Begam in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. The Alamgiri Gate, built in 1673 A.D., is the main entrance to the Lahore Fort in present day Lahore. It was constructed to face west towards the Badshahi Mosque in the days of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.
Another construction of Mughal era is the Lalbagh Fort (also known as "Fort Aurangabad"), a Mughal palace fortress at the Buriganga River in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh, whose construction started in 1678 during the reign of Aurangzeb.
Mughal gardens[edit]
Mughal gardens are a group of gardens built by the Mughals in the Islamic style of architecture. This style was influenced by Persian gardens and Timurid gardens. Significant use of rectilinear layouts are made within the walled enclosures. Some of the typical features include pools, fountains and canals inside the gardens. The famous gardens are the Char Bagh gardens at Taj Mahal, Shalimar Gardens of Lahore, Delhi and Kashmir as well as Pinjore Garden in Haryana.
Mughal Bridges[edit]

Bring Out Your $373 Million Dead...Earmarks: U.S. DOT Frees Up $473 Million in Dead Earmarks for Other Projects
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On September 20, 2012 @ 9:18 am In Economics,eRoadPro Newsletter,News & Analysis | No Comments
The U.S. Department of Transportation's (U.S. DOT) decision to take $473 million from 671 unused 2003 to 2006 earmarks could be likened to a Robin Hood scenario — stealing from the rich to help the poor — but it could also get the transportation industry moving.
Under current legislation, the Obama Administration has had the authority to rescind the earmarks, but this is the first time it has been done, according to the U.S. DOT.
Each state's unused funding will remain allocated to that state, as long as the work can begin by year-end 2012.
State DOTs must submit a plan for the use of the money to the U.S. DOT, and any funds not obligated by Dec. 31 will be redistributed to other states. Funds not obligated by the Dec. 31 deadline will be proportionally redistributed in FY 2013 to states that met the deadline.
Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood says this decision to make the unspent earmarks immediately available to other states "will create jobs and help improve transportation across the country."
Effective Aug. 17, state departments of transportation have the ability to use their unspent earmarked highway funds, some of which are nearly 10 years old, on any eligible highway, transit, passenger rail, or port project, according to the U.S. DOT.
President Barack Obama says his administration "will continue to do everything [it] can to put Americans back to work. We're not going to let politics stand between construction workers and good jobs repairing our roads and bridges."
Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez says "states will be able to put these dollars to good use," especially during the current economic difficulties. "These funds will create jobs in the short term and help bring about what President Obama called 'an America built to last,'" Mendez noted in a written statement (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/pressroom/pr0306earmarks.htm) from the U.S. DOT.
For a complete list of unobligated FY 2003 to 2006 appropriation act earmarks (as of Aug. 15, 2012) and a state-by-state list of unobligated balances, go to www.fhwa.dot.gov/pressroom/redisfy0306projects.htm.

Baltimore Armed Career Criminal Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Illegal Possession of a Gun
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett sentenced Marvin A. Jackson, age 43, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to 15 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release, for being a felon in possession of a firearm, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein. At today's sentencing Judge Bennett enhanced Jackson's sentence upon finding that he was an armed career criminal, based on four previous narcotics convictions and one prior conviction for attempted murder.
According to Jackson's guilty plea, on March 20, 2009, law enforcement executed a search warrant at a home in the 1000 block of Reverdy Road in Baltimore, in connection with suspected narcotics violations. Before officers entered the home, Marvin Jackson was stopped by police after he was seen leaving the residence and driving away. Jackson was detained, and a key to the residence was found on Jackson. During the subsequent search, law enforcement agents recovered a 9 millimeter Intratec semi-automatic handgun loaded with 27 rounds of ammunition and a .357 caliber Smith and Wesson revolver loaded with 5 rounds of ammunition. The Intratec handgun was found in the basement, hidden in the ceiling and the Smith and Wesson revolver was found in Jackson's upstairs bedroom closet. Agents also recovered approximately $80,000 in cash and paraphernalia used to facilitate narcotics distribution.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Baltimore City Police Department for their investigative work and commended Assistant United States Attorney Philip S. Jackson, who prosecuted the case.

my kitchen cabinets will have i-beam construction, and these will have to be cut or removed in order for the sink to fit in the base. the actual sides of the cabinet do not have to be cut. my impression is cutting the sides of the cabinets is called "scooping". so is altering the i-beams the same as scooping, and will this weaken the cabinet? is it preferable to cut the shape of the sink out or just completely remove the i-beam? thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had to look up a sales video to be sure I understood what you were asking about; "I-Beams" is marketing language meant to impress, not a conventional cabinetmaking term. That said, it's virtually certain that your installer will simply cut the shape of the sink out of the "I-beams." There's no reason to remove them entirely. |
hi jon1270, thank you for your reply. that is very interesting about the marketing vs. cabinetmaking term. please tell me what the correct term would be. i'm from over in the kitchen forum, and someone posted that a contractor removed the entire i-beam. he told her it was only necessary for shipping and installation. this is why i was asking! for anyone else, this is what we are told is "i-beam" construction: |
I'd call it a stiffener or a brace. I'm not sure there is a 'correct' term for it. Many, if not most kitchen cabinets don't have such a part at all. Their name for it strikes me as silly, since real I-beams are so named because they have a cross-sectional shape like a capital letter "I," which these do not. Unless your sink cabinet is at the end of a run, with its side exposed to the room, I don't think you need to worry. |
okay, thanks very much jon1270. :) |

VARIOUS ARTISTS By Marie Elsie St. Léger Published March 3, 2006 ZEN AND THE ART OF CHILLING: VOLUME ONEMondo Rhythmica/Ark
From the opening prayer chants on Ferdoos's "Ramadan" to the closing strains of Oojami's "Neyzen," very little interfered with this listener's aim for this CD: zoning to a hypnotic beat. Compiler/producer/DJ Phil Meadley delves into the spiritual side of relaxation, avoiding the ennui of pseudo-chic Euro-techtronic ambient without rejecting it outright. The only interruption to the chillout flow comes early: Certainly no joy can be found in emotional or physical brutality, no matter how beautifully Amina sings "My Man." But back to serious lying back: Oud master Simon Shaheen spins magic on his previously unreleased "Saraab"; Bob Holyrod's international club sensation "Adrift In Kerala" flows nicely, as does Transglobal Underground's subtle swirl of "Air Giant"; Alex Kid poetically contemplates the unknown (via Ursula Rucker's spoken words) on "Fear in Flight."

Just came across this article which was written years ago, but just recently started in my Google searches: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/...u-single-heart
I love this article (and the woman for the following reasons)
1.) It is fucking AWESOME that a writer for a well known Psychology Magazine has taken plenty of time to write about her solitude.
2.) I love what she has to say. A lot of time I write about being single and people interpret it as some dark, negative, "oh woe is me" moment, when it's not something negative. It's just a thing.
People also tend to make it into something soulless and superficial--an excuse to sleep around. Truth is, even if I had a low sex drive, that has no bearing on my desire to couple with anyone.
Folks have also said I contradict myself for saying I'm not the dating type, even though I would open myself to it for the right person. But there will always be a difference between someone who aspires to be coupled and someone who does not.
For those who have ever wondered, check out the questions and see how you stack up.To be single at heart, I think, means that you see yourself as single. Your life may or may not include the occasional romantic relationship, and you may or may not live alone or want to live alone, but you don't aspire to live as part of a couple (married or otherwise) for the long term.
You can be single at heart regardless of your actual status as single or coupled. Similarly, you can be a coupled at heart regardless of whether you really are coupled at the moment.
I might just buy a book by the writer. I'm so captivated by what she has to say. A mix of her research and experience are a rarity.

Tulane's Office of Housing and Residence Life (HRL) is dedicated to providing safe and comfortable living environments for all students in all of the residence halls. LGBTIQA-identified students and their allies may be particularly interested in two Living Learning Communities that are dedicated to multicultural, gender, and sexual diversity.
Located on the 5th floor of Monroe, Mo' 5 is designed to offer first-year students the experience of living in an inclusive, diverse, dynamic, and close-knit community and opportunities to grow as agents of social change. Mo' 5 is a socially just living and learning community based on mutual respect, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sex, age, class, sexual orientation, religious preference, ability/disability and/or international status. Each member of this community is valued for their unique backgrounds, life experiences, and complex social identities. At the crossroads of diverse cultures, residents have the opportunity to learn about themselves and their peers in an atmosphere of respect and appreciation. Additionally, students develop unique knowledge bases, consciousness, and skills that enable them to effectively participate and take leadership roles in a globalizing and diverse world.
The Willows of Culture House, located on the 4th floor of Willow Residences, is designed to offer upper-class students the opportunity to live and learn with other students who are interested in the interdisciplinary study of gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity. Throughout the year, in an informal setting, students will be introduced to scholars, community organizers and artists who draw upon gender/sexuality/race/ethnic studies to inform their work.
Though the university does not currently offer gender-inclusive housing, Housing and Residence Life and the Office for Gender and Sexual Diversity work together to ensure that living arrangements meet the needs of trans* and gender non-conforming students. To discuss your specific living needs with a staff member, please contact one of the people listed below. Each is committed to maintaining student confidentiality, so don't hesitate to call or e-mail. To be put in touch with current students who can talk to you about their experiences in housing, please e-mail the Office for Gender and Sexual Diversity: email@example.com.
Housing Problems
If you experience a problem with your living situation that you believe is a result of your sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, immediately talk to your resident advisor, area director, or another staff member. We ask that you also report bias-related incidents(confidentially, if you choose) to the Office for Institutional Equity (OIE) and to the Office for Gender and Sexual Diversity (OGSD). To submit an online report of an incident of bias, misconduct, or discrimination, please click here. If you would like it to remain confidential, please leave out identifying information.

Rihanna: 'Being No. 1 Never Gets Old'
Rihanna, who appears on the latest cover of Glamour, stopped by British comedian Alan Carr's Chatty Man TV show in London earlier this month to talk about her life these days. It was an interview mixed with contradictions. While her Instagram photos and Twitter beefs paint the picture of a hard-partying, scantily-clad Barbados babe, Rihanna calls herself a "square."
"As a matter of fact, recently I've become like a square," she told Carr, while sipping on a shot of vodka in celebration of his 100th episode. "I hate partying. I've been so bored with it; maybe it's because it's the same music every night. I don't know, maybe we need some more DJs or something."
Carr went on to ask her about her booty-friendly selfies, wardrobe choices and sex life. As far as her career is concerned, RiRi doesn't show signs of slowing down soon. In the last eight years, she's had seven number one albums. "Its definitely exciting," she told Carr. "It never will get old; being No. 1 never gets old. It actually puts a lot of pressure on you, like, it's a challenge in itself. It keeps me busy, but I love it. I love to challenge myself."
Rihanna also performed her mellow track "What Now," before calling it a wrap. Perhaps she is changing her tune, but only her Instagram photos will tell in due time.

Rebecca Katsopolis | |
General Information | |
Gender: | Female |
Occupation(s): | Talk show host |
Family and Friends | |
children: | Nicky and Alex |
Friends: | Joey Gladstone Danny Tanner |
Series Information | |
First appearance: | Tanner vs. Gibbler |
Last appearance: | Michelle Rides Again (Part 2) |
Portrayer: | Lori Loughlin |
Rebecca "Becky" Donaldson Katsopolis is the sarcastic, practical, and well educated wife of Jesse Katsopolis, sister-in-law of Danny, aunt to D. J., Stephanie, and Michelle, mother to Nicky and Alex. She is Danny's co-host on Wake Up, San Francisco! (of which she was later appointed producer). Her promotion made Danny jealous at first, but he got over it later and accepted it, believing she would do a really great job.
Becky is a typical country girl. She loves Nebraska, horses and horseback riding. At the end of "D.J.'s Very First Horse" she buys Rocket and asks D.J. if she'd like to help take care of Rocket, and even ride him every once in a while. D.J. says that she will have to wait until she is no longer grounded for buying Rocket without Danny's permission. Danny replies he thinks they can work something out.
Becky is introduced in season two, and is from the small town of Valentine, Nebraska, where she was born and raised on a farm. It is assumed that she comes from a big family as many different family members are mentioned throughout the series, with very few mentioned more than once.
She worked as a talk show host on A.M. Omaha for two years before being offered to host alongside Danny on Wake Up, San Francisco. Becky is often seen as the girls' mother figure, and she is especially close to D.J. Whenever a "girl" issue comes up, Becky volunteers to handle it for Danny (such as when Rebecca talks to D.J. about her first broken heart in the episode "A Little Romance" from season 2), which Danny thanks her for. She and Jesse marry, after nearly two years of dating, on Valentines Day. The two move out of Becky's apartment and then, shortly later, into the attic of the Tanner house. They later learn in season five that they are having twins. Becky gives birth later on in the season to identical twin boys, Nicky and Alex.
