Occupy Boston Confronts Police
October 24, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Karin Friedemann, TMO
"The people united will never be defeated," chanted the Occupy Boston protesters who had expanded their peaceful encampment beyond the original campsite to accommodateadditional participants. Veterans for Peace took a front line position as protesters were arrested.
From the beginning, protesters had worked tirelessly to maintain a positive working relationship with city officials. Actions by the Boston Police Department represent a sudden shift away from that dialogue.
"We have a purpose. It's called the Constitution," chanted the crowd as police removed campers from the park and trampled the veterans' flags into the mud. The given reasonfor forcibly removing the protesters at 1:30am was a newly planted flower garden, but the police trampled these flowers in their zeal to curb public enthusiasm for Occupy Boston.
"The whole world is watching"repeated the protesters, with the same hope that has accompanied the Palestinian or Lebanese populations as they have been repelled by"the authorities," awaiting some kind of angelic or global intervention.
"This is what democracy looks like"was the final word of the crowd as the protesters were arrested.
Official postings from the Occupy Boston newsfeed read:
"As Occupy Boston has grown, the initial area of the occupation has become overcrowded with tents and people. The original encampment is in Dewey Square Park, the southernmost end of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, the ribbon of parks created when Boston's expressway was put underground by the Big Dig. In a spontaneous, autonomous action,a large number of occupiers moved into the next section of the Greenway… A subsequent proposal to officially ratify the expanded presence was adopted by consensus at a General Assembly held in the new space."
"Boston police arrested 141 people during recent Occupy Boston demonstrations. The early morning arrests were made for trespassing and unlawful assembly. After almost 15 hours in custody, finally all of the peaceful demonstrators the Boston Police Department arrested have been released as of 6:00pm October 11th. Occupy Boston has many eye witness accounts and video evidence of police misconduct."
Protesters have continued holding a daily "General Assembly" for making group decisions. Occupy Boston ratified a statement of solidarity with indigenous peoples at the Saturday October 8thGeneral Assembly, "recognizing that 'we are guests upon stolen indigenous land.'" Boston thus became the first city in the broader"Occupation movement" to clearly declare its solidarity with indigenous peoples. This is important for all Americans who have been supporting freedom for Palestine.
"United American Indians of New England (UAINE) supports Occupy/Decolonize Boston and the Occupy/Decolonize Wall Street movement generally. We are deeply moved and encouraged that Occupy/Decolonize Boston, as one of its very first actions, issued a memorandum in solidarity with Indigenous peoples.
"We have been the victims of corporate greed for centuries. If you seek to reimagine a new society free of corporate greed, then we would ask that you learn all you can about the past that has carried us to this place.
"We fully support the right of the Occupy/Decolonize Boston encampment to expand from Dewey Square to other parks and open spaces in the city,without the necessity of permits and without fear of police reprisals."
Occupy Boston has maintained that it will non-violently resist any attempt to end the protest before achieving the change they seek. The protesters have not yet united on any clear aim for their protest other than insisting on their right to continue to protest.
Those of us watching from the sidelines can only speculate as to what importance these protests might have on America's present and future,or how this relates to struggles in other parts of the world. Without doubt, the emotional enthusiasm of these protesters is real, even raw. Even if we don't quite understand their goals, a visit to one's local protest site is sure to invigorate the apathetic. First generation Americans should take note of their personal responsibility to defend US democracy in action.
Shays Rebellion of 1786-87 in Western Massachusetts, was the first populist uprising after the American Revolution. Daniel Shays organized poor farmers from the Connecticut River Valley to shut down the courts that were sending them to debtors prison on behalf of big Boston banks. Many of the farmers were veterans who had trudged home from the Revolution "with not a single month's pay"in their pockets. Shays and his followers have always been viewed as a small group of poor farmers and debtors who closed the courts as a protest of local civil authority.
To quote Howard Zinn: "The American colonists, having fought and won the war for independence from England, faced the question of what kind of government to establish. In 1786, three years after the treaty of peace was signed, there was a rebellion of farmers in western Massachusetts, led by Captain Daniel Shays, a veteran of the Revolutionary war. The uprising was crushed, but it put a scare into those leaders who were to become our Founding Fathers."
After Shays Rebellion, General Henry Knox warned his former commander, George Washington, about the rebels: "They see the weakness of government; they feel at once their own poverty, compared to the opulent, and their own force, and they are determined to make use of the latter in order to remedy the former. Their creed is that the property of the U.S. has been protected from the confiscations of Britain by the joint exertions of all, and therefore should be the common property of all."
The Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia for 1787 was called to deal with this problem, to set up "big government," to protect the interests of merchants, slave-holders, and landowners.
The conflict between the original purpose of the Constitution,which was to protect landowners, and the current interpretations protecting the rights of individuals, remains at a standstill. Meanwhile, "We the People" continue to voice general grievances.

Carter Fasts with Gazans
September 10, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Carter, Religious Jews Fast With Gaza
Palestine Chronicle
Former US President Jimmy Carter and his wife fasted in solidarity with the people of the Gaza Strip who are living under siege.
About going without for day Carter laughed it off and said, "I didn't miss the food at all, but I missed water."
He said, "I spent all day thinking of the people of Gaza and the harsh conditions of life imposed on them by the embargo." The former US President said that he prayed for the Palestinians of Gaza while fasting for the first time in his more than 80 years of life.
Jimmy Carter said that he had received a call from Khahamat religious Jews in the United States who told him that they had already begun fasting once a week in solidarity with Gaza and its people, and asked him to join them, but he and his wife decided that they would do so alone and already had started to do so.
Carter's speech came during iftar, the evening meal, held at the Grand Park Hotel in Ramallah. It included members of the Elders, a group of world leaders founded by Nelson Mandela, and a number of Palestinian intellectuals, businessmen and representatives of civil society institutions.
During the meal to break the day's Ramadan fast, the group exchanged views. Desmond Tutu said, "I've heard many Palestinian and Israeli youth. I have heard things that are very impressive, but I felt the presence of hope in spite of the occupation and the suffering of the Palestinians that it causes, which is very important."
Speaking of politics, Carter said, "We must not forget that all the Israeli settlements to the east of the Green Line are illegal, how can you talk about a settlement freeze" in a clear reference to what is being talked about these days from the current US administration led by Obama.

Sorry if this is redundant. My computer is cramping up and it was hell navigating old topics/posts. I'm currently learning how to do auto upholstery. I don't have the money for an industrial machine yet, but if my old Ward's Signature can get thru just a few bucket seats I can earn enough to get an old industrial Juki or something. She's a Montgomery Ward's Signature URR 988 circa-1958 Do you think I can count on the old girl? I use it often and always treat her right. It's a beautiful machine and runs like a Rolls Royce. It's strong, quiet and smooth as silk. I bet I could make a pillow case with a glass of wine sitting on the top. Seriously. Otherwise, do any of you know of an old 60's-70's Japanese built models that were really tough, so I can look for one on Ebay/Craigslist? Thank you for your time. |

Generally speaking, the old metal machines can handle anything, as long as it fits under the foot. Walking Foot Industrials can fit 3/4" to an 1" under the foot. Just use a larger needle if you need it. The only way to know for sure, is if you can get a small piece of the material you'll be sewing and test it. |
Boy, did that picture bring up some fantastic memories! That was SO similar to the machine that I learned on! It had been my mom's, purchased around that same time frame (late '50s). I took it to college with me and she got a newer machine. It's now with my SIL, and still going strong. I sewed vinyl on it, and faux leather, so I'd try a small piece and see how she does. You will want to get a good needle for leather, you'll break too many with your standard 10's or 12's. Donna |
Thanks for the info! I didn't have any leather to try out on it. I'm just trying to plan way ahead while I'm still studying upholstery. It would be SO nice if I could use this machine so I can just get straight to work A.S.A.P. That photo isn't really my machine, by the way. Just found it online. Mine looks just like it though, except mine is cream on the door at the needle end and on the top "hood" part. It's so pretty I sometimes leave it out with it's light on just because I like looking at it. How weird is that?! It's just that with the lines & curves, the paint and chrome, and the fine mechanical craftsmanship, it's like a cross between a vintage Timex and a '62 Coupe DeVille. :) |

It depends on the thickness of the leather and the way the seams run. And a really good leather needle. Thin leather - no problem |

When the Lee-Davis softball team won the 2011 Group AAA State Championship with a roster loaded with underclassmen, there was every expectation that a second state title in 2012 was attainable. Led by 2011 Gatorade State Player of the Year Kelly Heinz, the Confederates were the favorites to return to the pinnacle of their sport.
Then it happened.
And then-freshman Lauren McIntyre heard the news, in a most unusual way.
"I'd never met Kelly and we were at a blood drive for DECA and she said, 'Hey, I'm Kelly,' and I'm like… 'Hi!'" McIntyre recalled. "She said, 'I don't know if you've heard but I have to get elbow surgery, so I'm not going to pitch this season.'"
The news sent McIntyre into a state of shock. But enter Lee-Davis catcher Haleigh Cottrell, whose left thumb bears the scars of a thousand Heinz screwballs. She was confident about 2012 after catching for McIntyre at Stonewall Jackson Middle School.
"I thought she was pretty good for a sixth grader," Cottrell noted, laughing. "We never lost a game that season. As soon as the news broke about Kelly, I knew who was going to pitch. Lauren's gonna start."
For McIntyre's commanding performance on the mound as a freshman and Cottrell's tremendous performance as the steady force of a battery that took the Confederates to the brink of another state title run, the Herald-Progress salutes Lauren and Haleigh in our "2012 Standouts" series.
McIntyre is very quick to give credit to past experience and one certain coach for helping calm her nerves and guide her through the season.
"I'd been playing 18U softball for four or five years," McIntyre said, discussing her time on travel teams such as the Richmond Speed and Richmond Storm, who play in competitive tournaments sometimes up to nine months a year. "People were saying it's nothing different, you'll be fine."
Lee-Davis head coach Jackie Davis was there with reassurance as well.
"Coach [Davis] was really supportive. She's like, 'It's gonna be fine, we're going to do fine,'" McIntyre said.
They were more than just fine. In a photo finish, Lee-Davis repeated as Capital District regular season champions on a seventh-inning comeback win over Atlee. The team also went 11-1 in district play and 19-5 for the season, which ended with a loss in the Central Region semifinal to eventual state champion Cosby. Most innings of every game were led by the battery of McIntyre and Cottrell.
The start of the season, though, brought more adversity. Coach Davis' father passed away just before opening day and some early games were postponed, meaning Lee-Davis' first opponent ended up being on the road at Patrick Henry, the only team to defeat the Confederates in their 2011 championship season.
"It was a good 'settle into' game because we just started game situations, so it was better to start off against a better team," McIntyre reflected.
Cottrell took that game experience and parlayed it into wisdom and direction for her once and, suddenly, new battery mate.
"That was a terrible game to go into [first]; if that were me on the mound, that would've put a terrible picture in my head for the rest of the year," Cottrell said. "But I knew every game wasn't going to be like that. And we held them scoreless until the fifth inning, that's impressive for a freshman to do that not knowing anything about them. And I know now that you can't hit every spot with every pitch. I used to get upset and say to her 'This has got to stop,' but I'm better about that kind of stuff."
"Before every game I thought this could be the game I do completely awful," McIntyre remembered. "I tried to go in with nothing on my mind while Coach [Davis] built my confidence, because I didn't have much, even in games against teams with lesser records. But in the end, it went well."
Their communication, and confidence, only improved, setting the stage for the electric win over Atlee to win the Capital. A district semifinal win over Glen Allen set up a rematch with the Raiders for the tournament title, and Cottrell admits fault in preparing for that game, won by Atlee.
"We crushed Glen Allen just days after barely beating them, so, I think that may have given us a big head. Atlee was underestimated this past year and they're going to be a threat this year, for sure. We are underdogs now because we have only two seniors this season; our team is young."
Both Cottrell and McIntyre are ready for February and the beginning of practice. McIntyre currently plays for the varsity basketball team, hoping every time she crashes onto the hardwood that she's not injured. Cottrell, highly complimentary of Coach Davis in her comments, thinks of what may have been, but quickly focuses on what's to come.
"I feel like had we beaten Cosby, we would have won states last year because there was no outside competition at the state level," she said. "This year, I'm trying to have fun, supporting my teammates while making sure [McIntyre] is okay on the mound, because she's gonna be."
McIntyre laughs as Cottrell points in her direction while speaking words like an older, wiser sister. Cottrell will not pursue softball in college. She has been accepted to East Carolina University, but her first choice is James Madison. She hopes to hear from the Dukes in January and wants to be a nurse practitioner, working with children in oncology, maybe at a children's hospital.
"It's going to definitely be a team effort this year, not just one bat," McIntyre added. "I think we can do it. I have confidence in my team. I think you should have confidence in whoever is playing."
Her thoughts more reflect the outside perception of the 2012 team supposedly struggling without a player the caliber of Kelly Heinz (who returned late in the season on offense) than in reality, as a total team effort led to the Confederates knocking on the door once again.
With three seasons still to come on the mound, McIntyre, too, is already thinking about college.
"I want to play softball in college, and I've been thinking about my career. I've always wanted to be a teacher," she said.
If McIntyre ends up educating the next generation as a career, by extension, so will Cottrell, whose constant presence, confidence, and direction helped bring a state title to Mechanicsville, a freshman pitcher to maturity at warp speed, and now will lead the 2013 Lee-Davis team with deservedly high aspirations. With these two young ladies as the heart and soul of their team, expect more winning in Mechanicsville, and, if Cottrell has anything to do with it, a lot of fun.

Pentagon Lets You Bid on Terrorism?
Re:place your bets (in reverse)! (846 comments)
This creates an incentive for terrorism by insane individuals.
Remember the case where someone tried to manipulate the stock market by putting cyanide in Tylenol?
I might not have the facts exactly right, but the idea is the same. The potential exists for someone to use this to make money, by finding a way to encourage the terrorist acts to come true.

Sure enough, there was my manilla bubble envelope from the DISNEY WORLD TRIVIA BOOK!!! :D
Thanks Lou! I'm in the middle of chapter 1...i haven't gotten that many questions right, so I'm glad I'm no expert so i can really get some use out of this book.
And it's the perfect size too, any change in dimensions, it wouldn't have fit in my mailbox!!
Congrats on a job well done!!! :)

I have this eyeliner in Black Ebony and Bleu Marine. I've bought BB's cream eyeliner and it smudges by the end of the day. I have little asian eyes and whenever I open my eyes, the liner will smudge onto my lid unless even when I use waterproof liner. But LM's eyeliner stays on all day and doesn't move. I apply it with MAC's pointed eyeliner brush so I can get in between my lashes and can draw as thin or thick a line as I want. It does kind of smudge when I apply on my lower lashes, but to make it stick I use Benefit's She Laq or I'll use Chanel's stylo yeux waterproof eyeliner pencil (also another great eyeliner). I will definitely buy LM's eyeliner again.
Update: I love BB's gel eyeliner too. It just took me a while to apply it right, but it also doesn't smudge on my lids and it looks more intense than LM's eyeliner.
This product really breaks my heart. I've tried it so many times, each time fooling myself into thinking that I was probably doing it wrong. I keep going back because tightlining with this gives the perfect emphasis that my eyes need without being too much like almost all of my other liners do. The extra plus is that it doesn't aggravate my contacts. However, the biggest problem is that it smudges like crazy. If I blink, black smudges show up on my lower lid, which doesn't help because I have really bad dark circles already. If I close my eyes (for example, when I'm taking a shirt off) it smudges completely onto my lower lid as if I had purposely put eyeliner there in the first place. I've tried moistening the brush lightly and heavily and it doesn't help either way. I've also tried reading older reviews in hopes of finding a tip, but it's nothing I haven't tried already..So hopefully I'll figure it out, otherwise it's 20$ down the drain :(
LOVE this! It only smudges if you mix it too thin. Only use a TINY amount of water. Also, mix it somewhere else, not in the pan. A nice black dense line that stays put, even when I sleep.

When the MA put this eyeliner on me, I had to get it. I loved how dark the eyeliner was and how easy it was to apply (using the flat LM brush that the MA used). A week later though, I began to notice that this liner smudged very easily. I started to apply primer before the liner, but that still didn't stop the smudging. I also noticed that if you use the method of making the brush wet before getting the liner on the brush, it changes the consistency of the liner palette, which then makes the liner not as dark as it originally was. I still haven't found the perfect liner, but this is better than previous ones I've used.

Sorry to bring down the ratings, but this product smudges on me something awful. I used it to tightline and it created a black smudgy arc above my eyelids and on below my bottom lids. I'm returning this to Sephora ASAP. MAC's blacktrack fluidline is a blacker black, easier to apply, and doesn't smudge on me at all.
This is the blackest eye liner ever. Not that sissy "Natural Black" like Clinique's cake eye liner. Think ink. With the LM flat liner brush, this stuff is unstoppable. I hate the price, but it's going to last a lifetime. My lids are oily and this is the only stuff I can keep on -- lasts all day and night without a smudge.
This is the longest lasting eyeliner that I own. It is a dark black and I apply it wet for a strong look or damp for a softer look.
I did find this a little tricky at first but once I learnt the application it is fine. Just a little time consuming so if I am in a rush I will use pencil instead but I do prefer this for the longevity.
I don't know how this liner can be beaten for control and staying power. Used with the recommended LM brush, this product does everything it claims and more. Go to the counter and ask for a demonstration--you won't be disappointed. I am a guy interested in bringing out my eyes, not in becoming a drag queen. Tightlining +/- a little mascara on the upper lashes is the way to go. I got it right on the very first try at home, and if I can do it, all of you can.

Love, love, love this eyeliner. I prefer powder or cake eyeliners to gel because they are easier to control (for clumsy me, at least!). When applied with a damp brush, this eyeliner lasts all day, never smudges, and stays true black. I wouldn't use it for tightlining or on the waterline because powders are generally not waterproof.
HOLY CRAP!!! I love this, can't you tell? I'm a disaster when it comes to gel or liquid liners. Either I put it too thick, or too thin, or it smudges, but regardless, the result is usually the same . . . a complete mess. So this stuff is the miracle I've been looking for. The tight lining is awesome and easy even for a clutz like myself. Have to be careful to let it dry, or it will smudge a bit, but otherwise, pure perfection. I cannot wait to purchase the other colors. Great job Laura!
NOTE: This came along with a palette featuring the flat liner brush, a shader brush, and four eye colors. The brushes are like silk and the shadows also feel like silk on your eye lids. Perfect pallette - so get one!

Deep Run program trains future project management leaders
Deep Run High School recently completed a pilot course that is the first of its kind in the nation, based upon project management skills for the purpose of providing adequate training to its students so they can be empowered to enter the workforce with competence and a professional certification. Future Leaders In Project Management is a non-profit organization that was founded by Jennifer Greene to incorporate project management in high schools so students are prepared to work as associate project managers after they graduate. The year-long course prepares students to take the Project Management Institute's Certified Associate's in Project Management (CAPM) test and receive Project Manager's Institute industry certification, a world recognized certification. FLiPM is designed to bring skilled local workforce to businesses, grant graduating high school seniors job opportunities and stimulate the economy while lowering the unemployment rate. Upon completing the last project management course in the 12th grade, students who earn their high school diplomas will be eligible to sit for the CAPM test, thus preparing the students to turn their passions in more than 100 different industries into marketable career options straight out of school. "I believe in industry certification and PMI is the world standard for project management," said Lynne Norris, the school's project management teacher and chair of the Center for Information Technology. "I'm always looking for opportunities to give them (students) the edge and anytime you can put initials behind your name its awesome." The program came to Deep Run when a CTE specialist for the county's school system approached Norris about the opportunity FLiPM could bring students. The program was born when the Henrico School Board gave its approval. The system not only opened up doors for the students but also for teachers – 10 of whom were given the opportunity to take a project management course to earn certification. Project management is part of the required curriculum for sophomores at Deep Run in the speciality IT center, but FLiPM allows for students to take their studies a step further. The FLiPM capstone class at Deep Run is composed of 10 students and focuses on IT project management with a yearlong project that puts their skills to use. Through FLiPM, students were able to utilize the tools that project management has taught them in completing different projects areas that interested them. "We were given the opportunity to work on the CAPM certification and it's a lot like a real life job, doing a year long project isn't something that most high schooler's get to do especially putting the skills to use and application," said senior Stephen Scipione. The vision is to incorporate FLiPM in to all CTE courses so that a broad spectrum of students are being exposed to technology, terminology, and tools that Project Management uses. Many of the skills introduced correlate to the work place and give students a leg-up when facing employers who are looking for well developed students that are entering the work force. The national certification makes the students more marketable employees with hope of gaining them entry into well paying jobs. The job market is extremely competitive, but project manager positions are thriving, and there is a strong need for CAMPS (Certified Associate Project Managers), who have a starting salary between $40,000 and $50,000 a year. Offering graduates the certification makes them employable right away, and the skills learned translate into a multitude of professions and are applicable in every industry. Those skills – project planning, scheduling, human resources, team management, customer and client relations, interpersonal skills, risk assessment and communication – give students a significant advantage that they can carry with them throughout their life, not just for the first few years after graduation, Norris said. FLiPM also gives students who may not be pursuing college or have the opportunity, to enter a professional career with valid, marketable skills. FLiPM creates a bridge between career/technical education and the public school systems by opening the doors to students. The program works with a local professional chapter of Project Management and provides opportunities to use the newly-gained abilities to partner with state organizations, stimulating local economy. "I became interested because I wanted an opportunity to use this class to elevate beyond high school and into the real world, while working with a client and mentor. I relish the opportunity to work with organizations outside of school," said Ram Ramkumar. After completing the capstone, students are awarded a grant to cover their application fee into the local chapter of PMI, as well as their PMI test, and are offered access to testing software and test preparation books. The local chapter allows for students to continue using PMI skills outside of high school and the chance to get involved with local businesses. The FLiPM program is expected to expand, and Norris says this year was full of successes. "My hope is that each year we will be able to continue this program through grants and be able to help facilitate other schools in Henrico. It makes me happy to be able to say we are really providing a valuable resource of well prepared workers as students graduate," she said. FLiPM and Henrico Education Foundation, along with the Central Virginia Chapter of PMI are rewarding a student with a $2,500 scholarship as well as title of "Student Project Manager of the Year" at a celebratory dinner held at the Federal Reserve Building. |

Can anyone help in very short order. The Architect posted a drawing that I must print in 2012 format (she forgot to save to 2004). I have tried 6 machines in our office this morning, attempting to get True View 2013 to run. The exact same error problem that plagued my attempts to use True View 2012 are occurring. True View says .NET 4.0 isn't installed. The problem is, that it is installed and running correctly. In two of the machines I went through the repair process of .NET 4.0 to see if there was a problem. There wasn't, no change; True View still errored out before installing. Is this a problem with buggy software? Are there any other options open to me? I don't know why they stopped updating True Convert. It was far superior and not full of programming/install bugs.
As an update. I also downloaded the 64-bit version to try on the Windows 7 computers (all with .NET 4.0 already installed). Same error: .NET 4.0 not installed on the computer.
Small consolation but True View 2013 installed fine here on a Win 7 64bit OS.
Can I convert the file for you?
What version do you need?
BTW - What version of CAD are you on?
Under the File dropdown do you have the option to Convert there? It is built in to LT 2013
TRUEVIEW support forum is here:
Installation forum for most Autodesk products is here:
The program may not like the version/variant of .NET4 you have installed: a removal would be something to try if you cannot get help from the two forums above (search for similar problems there too, don't just post).
Thanks for the offer Shade. The Architect was able to get someone to go to her desk and save as a format that I needed. I did search the forums for a similar problem to mine, with no applicable results. I will continue the search and install attempts.
Exactly the same issue in here! Nothing helps! Rubbish!
.NET Cleanup Utility:
Uninstall the Trueview using REVO UNINSTALLER Free on its most aggressive setting.
Then start anew.
Barvas11, I took the .NET uninstall with REVO and reinstall steps as listed by Shade prior to my original posting, to no success. Here is what "somehow" worked. I had been wanting to install the trial version of ACad 2013 anyway. So after a HUGE download, I went through the install process, and noticed that where I expected it to hang up (in the same manner as TrueView) 2013 took an extra step, added what was needed to the .NET framework, and completed installation. Since I was paying close attention to the processes and noticed that it did not hang up with the error, I then tried True View again, and it worked properly. Bizzaro.
So to summarize, install a trial of the newest ACad product and then install True View 2013
Hi madcowscarnival,
I just did as they said and it didn't work (no surprise to be honest)
I will try to install new 2013 and see what happens. Can you run two different versions of autocad on the same pc?
I had no problem with running multiple versions of Autocad on my machine. It changed the icon for dwg when I installed 2013, but after uninstall they reverted to the correct icon with no problem.

October 12, 2005
MGM Mirage has recruited a who's-who list of celebrity architects for its mammoth Project CityCenter development on the Las Vegas Strip. The 18-million-square-foot complex of hotels, shops, casinos, and residences will be roughly the size of Rockefeller Center, New York's SoHo, and Times Square combined.
The $5-billion, 66-acre development is the largest privately financed construction project in U.S. history, according to MGM Mirage officials. Ehrenkrantz, Eckstut & Kuhn Architects, the firm responsible for Lower Manhattan's Battery Park City, is the master-plan architect, and Gensler is the executive architect.
The development centers on a soaring 4,000-room hotel-casino designed by Cesar Pelli, FAIA, which consists of two 60-story-tall crescent-shaped glass towers connected by a low-rise. Rafael Viñoly, FAIA, has created a curved 400-foot-high, 1,000-unit hotel-condo building set atop of pylons, while Vancouver-based James KM Cheng's plans include a twisting 100-unit residential tower. Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, meanwhile, is designing the exterior of a 400-room, five-star Mandarin hotel with interiors from Adam Tihany. Lord Norman Foster is responsible for another 400-room hotel operated by Andrew Sasson's Light Group, creators of the Light and Caramel nightclubs now at the Bellagio hotel.
Although the project is only halfway through a 20-month design cycle, it's anticipated to make its Strip debut in November of 2009.

Two Wilmington residents killed in tractor trailer crash in Pa. Two people from Wilmington are dead after a tractor trailer crashed into an SUV leaving a restaurant near the Delaware-Pennsylvania state line. Pennsylvania state police say the SUV had just pulled out of the parking lot of the Taqueria Moroleon restaurant on Route 41 in Chester County about 6:30 p.m. Sunday when it was hit by a passing tractor trailer. Killed were 39-year-old Matthew Petke and 45-year-old Brenda Petke. It's not known how the two are related. The driver of the tractor trailer, 35-year-old John Deapen of New Bethlehem, Pa., was uninjured. |

In yesterday's post I described how to install Linux over the network. Now I'm going to polish that off with a bit of post-install scriptery that does a bit more customization.
This part of the tutorial makes use of several different concepts to provide a customized install experience. First is the use of LDAP authentication on the domain. Your network may or may not use this. If you aren't already authenticating with LDAP you'll want to adapt this tutorial to your needs. Next is the use of the new user "Skeleton" configuration where you can place items that are automatically copied into a user's home directory the first time they log in. Last is using the rc.local file to run a script in such a way that it only runs the first time the computer is booted. This could be adapted to ask for the name of the computer during that step or other things to allow even more customization during install. A common practice instead of using a bash script like I did is to use a Python script at this point to allow for a more pleasing and customizable setup.

Technical Program Video Recording (TPVR) Update
At the 132nd AES convention in Budapest, the Technical Program Video Recording (TPVR) project was extended to include paper presentations. We are now able to make some of these recordings available to E-Library subscribers. Quite a few copyright issues had to be considered, but we hope that these issues will be recognised by authors and that we will be able to offer a much wider coverage in the future. We are studying the possibility of extending this project to cover the presentations made at Conventions in the USA. If you or your company/school are an E-Library subscriber then you can locate these video recordings using the Advanced Search on our E-Library search page. At the bottom you can choose to only include papers that "have a video recording of the presentation." Due to the detailed nature of the PowerPoint slides these are designed to be viewed on a computer and not a mobile device.

Does anyone have directions for prepping wood and fabric and then applying the fabric to the wood piece so that then the patterned fabric can be highlighted with paint? I am making spindle santas and want to apply the fabric to a flat part of the spindle. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've used fabric as a background and then painted on top of it...is that what you are trying to do? If so, all I've done is decoupaged the fabric on and then paint on top of it. |
Thank you kraftymom for your quick response. I have never decoupaged. Would you apply Mod Podge to the wood spindle or fabric or both .....then wrap the fabric around with a small amount of overlap in the back? |
First make sure the wood surface is smooth; sand if necessary and wipe clean with a clean cloth. When using fabric I always apply the glue to the wood surface then apply my fabric. Doing it that way allows me to manipulate the fabric to fit correctly and lay flat. I then roll over the surface with a brayer to remove any air bubbles. Once that's done I decoupage over it. If you are going to paint on the decoupaged fabric I recommend using a matte finish. |
Thank you so much for your help, kraftymom |
If you can, share a pic when your done. Your project sounds cute! |
I did this technique years ago...what I did was applied "wonder under" to the back of fabric and then ironed the fabric to the wood. I would use a razor blade to trim the fabric to fit the wood. I have some pieces that have been finished for years without any peeling problems. |
Ok, this may be a bit late but I remember now how we did it. first put about 3 coats of acrylic sealer on the fabric you are going to use. After it is dry, cut out your pattern and glue to the wood piece. I have done several Nancy Lenski pieces this way. |

World 46: Twisted Anarchy
April 15, 2011 in Uncategorized, World 046 News, World News
Welcome back to the World 46 Blog! This week's edition focuses on the eastern portion of the world, and more specifically: Anarky.
Anarky started out as not much more than a man and a woman with a few incoming attacks. Fireyflame and Pawprints were these two people, alone and facing the world. Sandwiched between two warring tribes, Firey and Paw fought off the attacks of TWAA and IF (two early eastern tribes) and expanded quickly, soon growing throughout k58.
TWAA soon fell to IF, IF then falling to 1337. A tribe called HD then also hit Firey and Paw, but also failed miserably. This tribe merged with k67, which in the future became another tribe named BOA.
Perhaps the biggest war that Firey and his small tribe had to fight early on though, was against a tribe named SAD. This war lasted longer than the others that Anarky had previously fought in, but the results were the same. SAD fell, and Anarky took in some of their better players. Some fled to a new tribe named Mania though, which then declared war on Anarky. Firey and company quickly brought this tribe to their knees though also, and once again recruited their best players to join Anarky.
Other Mania players joined 1337 (mentioned previously) however, foreshadowing future problems. Anarky and 1337 did establish a close NAP however, and for some time, were friendly. However, when a new duke took over in 1337, things changed.
1337 declared war on Anarky, and quickly attacked them. As unsuccessful as the others that had fought Anarky in the past though, 1337 quickly lost ground to Anarky, which moved forward at an alarming rate.
1337 finally split up after several months of fighting, with several active northern players creating their own tribe, and fighting Anarky alone. This did not last long either however, as Skill? recruited the survivors from 1337 and soldified their border with Anarky.
Skill? and Anarky did not wait long to start a war that was quite clearly in the cards. It started unofficially, as a border dispute, but quickly enveloped each tribe. Anarky and Skill? have been trading conquers for quite some time now, with no large headway going to either side.
Another, more recent development included the merge of SnM into Anarky, giving them a firm grasp on the southern flank of Skill?. Unfortunately this did not work out completely, since Skill? recruited several southern players for the sole purpose of attacking this newly gained Anarky territory. If you would like to see the territorial change made my these moves, please check the pair of maps below.
This war still continues with Skill? ahead in the statistics. Firey and his crew have not slowed down it seems though, and they continue to fight, and hold their border with their western enemies.

I have some seeds from the Camellia sinensis plant. They are rather hard seeds - should I soak them in water for a while before sowing ?
Is says "slow to germinate" how slow is that, any ideas? Thanks for all help. Popi |

- Posted by daisyduckworth Aust (My Page) on Sat, Mar 4, 06 at 6:16
Here's what I have on it. If you have any luck with it, care to share a seed or two? Soak seed in warm water for 24 hours before sowing, or gently rub a hole through the seed coat with sandstone or sand paper. The seed coat is fragile, so take care not to crush the seed during the process. The seeds are about the size and shape of hazelnuts. Hollow seeds and low germination percentages are common occurrences. Seeds remain viable for one year. Plant 1cm deep in warm soil and keep moist until germination. Typical germination period is 6 to 8 weeks Plant requires 4-12 years to bear seed. At first, seedlings should be shaded. Seedlings 6-12 months old may be outplanted with a ball of earth, while much older seedlings can be planted bare-rooted. Cuttings from the stem, taken 10cm from the ground from winter through to summer, can be inserted in the soil at an angle so that the subtending leaf rests on the medium. Rooting is slow, and bottom heat is recommended. Needs full sun to part shade. They prefer a well drained, soil rich in organic matter, pH 4.5- 5.5. The root hairs are very fine, so the plant cannot be allowed to dry out completely. Increase watering when the plant is actively growing and when the plant is in bloom. Fertilise every 2-3 weeks in spring through to autumn, use a fertiliser for acid loving plants diluted to half the strength recommended on the label. Prune directly after flowering. Repot every 2-4 years in late winter or early spring. Plant is frost hardy to –6C. Once established, mulch heavily. Harvesting: Terminal sprouts with 2-3 leaves are usually hand-plucked, usually every 7-15 days, depending on the development of the tender shoots. Leaves that are slow in development always make a better flavoured product. Green, Oolong and black ('normal') tea are all made from the leaves of the same plant. Green tea leaves are allowed to wither in hot air then pan-fried to halt the oxidation (fermentation) processes. The leaves of Oolong tea are wilted in sunlight, bruised and allowed to partially oxidise, until reddening of the leaf edges occurs. Black teas leaves are fermented in cool, humid rooms, until the entire leaf is darkened. Freshly picked leaves are spread very thinly and evenly on trays and placed in the sun until the leaves become very flaccid, requiring 13 hours or more, depending on heat and humidity. Other types of black teas are made by withering the leaves, rolling them into a ball and allowing to ferment in a damp place for 3-6 hours, at which time the ball turns a yellowish copper color, with an agreeable fruity one. If this stage goes too far, the leaves become sour and unfit for tea. After fermenting, the ball is broken up and the leaves spread out on trays and dried in oven until leaves are brittle and have slight odor of tea.. As soon as harvested, leaves are steamed or heated to dry the natural sap and prevent oxidation to produce green tea. Still soft and pliable after the initial treatment, the leaves are then rolled and subjected to further firing. |
Hello Daisy duckworth Thanks for your abundant information, it is most useful. What is the source of this information ? If it is your memory I most impressed ! I obtained the seeds from a seed company, that had a tray of seeds in my local organic food shop. There are only 4 seeds in the packet....but I am happy to go and look for another packet and send it to you if you would like. Maybe you could purchase the same from your local organic food shop. I can give you the website, if you want to send me an email. Cant quite remember it at this point! I am going to get soaking now. Its probably better to propagate this plant from cuttings. But I'll see how the seeds fair. Thanks again. Popi |

Hate to admit it, but it's not my memory, it's the memory on my computer that holds all the information! I've been researching herbs for donkey's years, and - well, it just 'growed like Topsy' when I started putting it all together! |

Just yesterday I bought some very nice (and healthy) tea plants from a mail order company. "One Green World" has a website. The price seemed reasonable for the size and quality of the plants. I bought two 4" potted ones that were well rooted and with base caliper of approx. 1/4 inch and 18 inches tall. I also bought two 1 gallon size that were very well rooted, well branched and 24 inches tall. One of the one gallon plants is budded for blooming this year. I picked them up at the nursery in Molalla, OR. They were $59.00 and change. I don't know what they would have charged me for shipping. I am very new at this tea thing and relatively ignorant. I was under the assumption that there was just one tea plant and that there are not different varieties. The ones I purchased however are labelled "Sochi". I am interested in gleaning info from individuals growing (and curing) tea in the Portland area. Thanks. Ken. |

Hi!

My name is Jean-Francis Roy and I've got Gentoo up-and-running on a Sony PS3.

I plan to use it to do scientific calculus using the libraries given on the IBM Cell SDK, but I run into problems using them. My questions are:

- Is anybody providing ebuilds for them? I found a bug report about those but it was close with a wontfix resolution. I emailed the originator of the bug and he said he switched to another distribution that provided those libraries.
 - Have anybody got libraries like BLAS and LAPACK up-and-running with the bindings to other languages? I succeded in binding BLAS to GSL (GNU Scientific Library) but I get no chance with numpy (Python), multiplying big matrices give me an error message from the ALF library, saying that "alf_task_create" returned an error. I can't find out what is the problem...

Thanks a lot for you time!

Very helpful Storage Bags!
By Sue
from CA
Comments about Magazine Storage Bags - Set Of 3:
Bought these bags to store my daughter's college newspapers in since I save each issue (she's an editor and writes for the paper) Last year I used a binder and I won't be doing that again after having these storage bags. They are a perfect size!I'm going to gift one to my sister since she collects magazines.Also, they're a great value for a set of 3.

Magazine Protectors- the best
By The chef
from sonoma county
I save cooking magazines but have limited space to keep on a bookshelf- so I store in these protectors (organized by year) and put into the garage. They are easy to retrieve. The protectors keep them looking like new.
Ordering them again!!
By jeffsangel602
from Baden, PA
I get a LOT of magazines in the mail & my husband gets some also, so we collect quite a few. I used to put magazines in boxes to keep them but they still got dirty & unless you emptied the whole box you didn't know what was in it. When I found these protectors I thought "What a Great Idea!" We keep our mags in those plastic organizers for a few months then go through them again to see which ones we want to keep. I am a cookbook collector & I collect a lot of recipes out of magazines so I like to keep the ones that have recipes in I like; my husband keeps his car magazines that have anything to do with Corvettes. I then put them in the protectors for storage or for whenever either of us need to look up something. I'm now getting ready to order more. The only complaint I have with them (the reason I gave 4 stars not 5) is they could be a little bit wider. When I first start to put magazines in them they fit perfect, at least most do, but by the time I get to the top it's hard to close. It's not that I have it overfilled, because the magazines aren't even all the way to the top when this happens.

Hey all - Posting this on behalf of Anthony Piscitella, a reporter looking for your input...
Hello everyone. I am part of a team doing a radio documentary about the choice not to have children - and what it means when one takes such a choice. How does ones surroundings - friends, family etc. react? I know from personal experience that the choice to be childfree sometimes is met with odd questions and scepticism.
In our documentary we want to focus on the reasons - and consequences - for one not to have children. We want to hear this not as much from experts, talking about statistics about world population and declining birth rates as from the people who have actually made the choice.
Hopefully the outcome will provide more understanding and insight for the listeners into why some people choose to live without children.
While we are still looking for many characters, we now are focusing our search to a woman who could be the 'main character' of our piece. Ideally, she is someone who is undecided about children but is leaning towards not having them and is comfortable discussing her feelings and opinions about the topic. As I mentioned, it is a purely audio-show, which means you have the option of anonymity. Don't hesitate to contact us, even if you're still not quite settled on your decision - we would like to hear from you in any case.
We really hope some of you will share your thoughts and experiences with us. If so, please contact us at: email@example.com
Best regards,
Anthony Piscitella

And I find considerable irony that our lives are now are so rich that the egg and butter and flour and sugar in pancakes are no long considered ingredients worthy for Lent's fasting. When was the last time you heard, "I'm giving up eggs for Lent"?
So tonight, it's pancakes. And tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, I'll plant Lenten grass, an old Finnish tradition especially good for helping children observe Lent. Tis the season.
NEVER MISS A RECIPE! Just enter your e-mail address in the box in the sidebar. Once you do, new recipes will be delivered, automatically, straight to your e-mail In Box.
Time to table: 15 minutes
Serves 4
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup sweet milk with a teaspoon of vinegar)
1 small jar pureed carrots
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup flour, fluffed to aerate before measuring
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
Whisk the egg, buttermilk, carrots and sugar. Collect the flour, soda and salt on top of the egg mixture but don't incorporate. With a fork, lightly combine the flour, soda and salt, still without incorporating, then whisk it in until just combined.
Melt the butter in a large skillet til a sprinkle of water sizzles. Scoop a quarter cup or so into the skillet (if it's thick, you might need to spread a bit) and let cook, undisturbed until air bubbles start to form. Turn and cook for another minute or two.

The Report by Mohammad Isam
January 19, 2013
Dhaka Gladiators 202 for 5 (Ashraful 73, Nasir 1-25) beat Rangpur Riders 167 for 4 (Nasir 80, Shakib 2-17) by 35 runs Scorecard
Dhaka Gladiators made it two wins out of two after another comfortable win, this time beating newcomers Rangpur Riders by 35 runs. Mohammad Ashraful played like the old, carefree approach he's been known for with a 47-ball 73. He struck the ball sweetly to set up the win, as Riders couldn't do enough to reach the target that had a required rate of more than 10 an over.
Nasir Hossain and Niall O'Brien steadied the Riders' innings after they lost three early wickets by the sixth over, which included the wicket of Kevin O'Brien. They added 118 runs for the fourth wicket, the first century partnership of the tournament. A confident Nasir struck half a dozen sixes and five boundaries in his 49-ball 80 which kept the small crowd entertained. He had support from Niall who didn't contribute a boundary during the partnership, but fed him the strike regularly. He ended up with an unbeaten 40 off 35 balls with a solitary boundary.
Earlier, Ashraful began his innings by playing second fiddle to Luke Wright, Dhaka's latest arrival from the Big Bash League. Wright looked set for a big innings but mistimed left-arm spinner Amit Kumar in the fifth over. The former Bangladesh captain then dominated the second-wicket stand, worth 57 runs, with Anamul Haque as he reached a half-century off 30 balls.
Shakib Al Hasan came and went after hitting a six and a four, after which Ashraful and Owais Shah added 36 runs for the fourth wicket. Ashraful, with eight fours and three sixes, dictated the Riders bowling attack that lacked the pace to unnerve him, but it was the final push from Shah and Joshua Cobb that got Gladiators to their second score of over 200 runs. The pair added 54 off just 25 balls, with excellent running and good hitting from Cobb who struck two fours and two sixes in his 17-ball 34.
Riders bowled poorly, despite their local experience in the form of Tapash Baisya, Mohammad Sharif and captain Abdur Razzak, though it was Nasir Hossain's tidy off-breaks that gave away least runs in the innings.

"I loved this! And so did my husband!!! We are excited to have left overs of it too since I made double the amount. Although I did change the recipe just a bit.. by starting out with cooking some chicken seasoned with salt, cracked pepper & garlic powder & letting it brown at the beginning w/the 'onions' & 'celery'.

Federal grant will help train Connecticut's 'dislocated' workers, unemployed veterans
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy today (Sept. 19) announced that the U.S. Department of Labor has awarded a $12 million "consortium" grant to five community colleges and Eastern Connecticut State University and Charter Oak State College to help "dislocated" workers, veterans and other "under-employed" train for careers in the health services field.
The job-training program will allow participants to earn certifications, industry-recognized credentials and associate degrees.
The grant is funded under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grants Program at the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration.
"Healthcare and the life sciences are two sectors of our economy that are poised to grow in the coming century," said Gov. Malloy.
"That's the reason we have vigorously pursued companies like Jackson Laboratories and Alexion to relocate and expand in our state. The more we can solidify Connecticut's role as a leader in these industries, the more our residents will have access to good paying jobs with good benefits. And thanks to today's announcement, we're going to be able to have the workforce in place to really make this vision a reality."
Some of the certifications that students in these programs may be able to earn include:
Biomedical Equipment Technician
Biomedical Informatics
Bioscience Manufacturing Technician
Health Information Technician
Instrument Calibration Technician
Occupational Health & Safety Technician
Quality Assurance Technician
Quality Control Technician
Respiratory Therapy Technician
Surgical Technologist
Some of the Associate Degrees students may be able to earn include:
Bioscience Manufacturing Technologist
Health Information Technologist
Medical Coder (Inpatient)
Occupational Health and Safety Specialist
Quality Assurance Specialist
Quality Control Specialist
For a link to the PDF document with specifics on the grant proposal, click here .
Some excerpts from the grant proposal:
- will increase the use of online and technology-enabled learning through online and mobile app math and science booster modules, self-assessments and feedback surveys embedded in online course modules, online workplace skills assessment and development tools, and the migration of courses to online and hybrid delivery.
- will enable 675 students to earn 10,000+ college credits for work, military and other experience that provides competencies equivalent to those gained in college courses, accelerating the progress of workers, improving retention and achievement rates, and reducing time to completion.
- will expand the Connecticut Credit Assessment Program to recognize credits earned in other institutions and settings, and promote PLAs [Prior Learning Assessments] in workplaces.
- recruitment and placement strategies will help 360 students obtain internships and provide 2,000 participants with job placement services.
Employer partners in this project include Connecticut United for Research Excellence (CURE) – the statewide bioscience growth council with 100+ employer members; Connecticut Hospital Association; Jackson Laboratory; Saint Francis Hospital; Eastern Connecticut Health Network; Greenwich Hospital; John Dempsey Hospital (University of Connecticut Health Center); Stamford Hospital; Yale-New Haven Hospital.
The University of Connecticut and the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving are also partners in this program.
Robert A. Kennedy, President of the Board of Regents for Higher Education, which governs the 17 Connecticut state colleges and universities said, "I am particularly pleased that our proposal was submitted collaboratively by a state university, our only public, online college and five community colleges. This is exactly the kind of partnership we need to focus on now that we're one, combined organization.
"I also appreciate the extraordinary amount of industry support we received – from hospitals across the state to CURE to Jackson Laboratory. Our private sector partners understand that with 96,000 students in our institutions, we have the capacity to train and prepare the workers they need," Kennedy said.
