I do. I believe it was called "Efcot." Homer was upset because he couldn't go to WDW to get a churro, and at the end he hops a fence into MK. He is then outraged because the churro was priced at $75.
And you could forget this classic line...
[just after Principal Skinner and Miss Krabapple have broken up in Efcot]
HOMER: "So, wanna go on the electric car ride with me and Marge?"
SKINNER: "No, I'm afraid the only ride for me is the ride of crushed hopes and dreams."
HOMER: "Oh, you mean the Enron ride! Come on, let's go!"

We love David Weeks' Torroja Cross Chandelier for Pucci featured!
We're gearing up for the annual Architectural Digest Home Design Show in New York that opens today and runs through March 25, 2012. The four-day event is packed with more than 400 exhibitors, including special sections like MADE, which showcases individual craftsmen and their handmade, one-of-a-kind work. It's exhibitions like this that help balance the mostly commercial offerings on the floor at ADHD.
Not that there's anything wrong with commercial design, but let's be honest. I'm not going to be swayed by a display of large, professional-grade stovetops. Luckily, there's also a promising line-up of design seminars presented by The New York Times featuring speakers from the Sustainable Furnishings Council and Architizer. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing our friends from the American Design Club (I recently wrote about their current exhibition, "Threat"), as well as Manhattan Forest Products, a bespoke flooring company that salvages and restores old, sometimes historic wood, like the planks of the old Coney Island Boardwalk. There are more woodsy offerings from Brooklyn studios Analog Modern, Strawser & Smith and Think Fabricate, a multidisciplinary studio that made the Brooklyn TV Quilt. You can watch the time-lapse video of their installation of the piece at ADHD above. And if you can't make the show, be sure to check back next week for our wrap-up.

LSU Tigers come back to Baton Rouge after BCS loss
POSTED: Tuesday, January 10, 2012 - 5:41pm
UPDATED: Monday, February 13, 2012 - 9:51pm
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — After a record setting loss Monday night in the Superdome, the LSU Tigers came back to Baton rouge without a trophy, but with fans still supporting them.
About two dozen fans waited to see the Tigers come home just after noon today.
Even though it was a small number, fans showed up in purple and gold to congradulate the team on a great season as the bus rolled onto campus.
Coach Miles waved at fans as he left the LSU Football Practice Facility, but neither Miles or any players spoke to the media as they left LSU Monday.

We are new users of a Greehouse. Last summer we built a 15 X 28' Greenhouse with tripple wall polycarbonate walls and roof. We decide to look at alturnative options (other than stoves/solar/gas) to heat our Greenhouse in the winter because of our cold climate (32 to -30 degrees during the winter) and the large cubic foot area of our Greehnouse (the ridge beams is 16' high). It would be hard for us to justify the cost of heating this Greenhouse for the amount of produce we want to grow for our own use over the winter months.
We came up with the idea of creating a hot box within our Greenhouse to grow vegtables over the winter. We have raised beds in our Greenhouse (36" high from the ground) 30"s deep. If we bury soil heat cables (with inline theramotates) in the raised beds about 6-8"s deep permantly and hinge a polycarbonate lid with sides over the section of the raised bed with soil heat cables - will the soil/air temperatures remain warm enough to grow cold weather vegtable crops like lettuce, carrots, radishes, spinach etc during worst winter months? We planned to have about 10" from the soil to the polycarbonate lid. We thought we would hang grow lights over the section of the soil heat cables for the short and dark winter days. We would also use the beds to start summer seedlings (like tomatoes) and then in the spring simply lift and leave the lids open during the growing months and use the beds as intented for summer growth. We need the advice of experienced Greenhouse users in cold climates! Will this idea work? Has anyone tried this idea or do you have other ideas that may work for us? We would like to draw on your experience before trying this method. Any advice or ideas you can offer would be appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds like you have done your homework and yes, I'd expect that to work very well. During the coldest times you could also throw a nice thick frost blanket over the top for some added insulation. As you probably already know, it doesn't take much warmth just to keep the cold-weather crops alive. Getting active growth takes more warmth and light and so you should have good results with your plan. I have all of those same plants growing in my unheated GH right now and they are doing fine, albeit not growing much. Let us know how it works out! Karin |
Thanks for your reply - are you using buried soil heat cables? If so - how deep did you bury them? Do you leave them in the soil permanently? Do you have your plants in a box with a lid or only covered with a frost blanket? We currently have the vegetables growing now too - without soil heat cables and only cover them with a frost blanket - but as you mentioned - the are growing very slowly depending on how much sun they get and night time temperatures here in Wyoming. Is your Greenhouse of similar size and material? 7000feet and snowing |
Congratulations on your greenhouse! There is a discussion about this on the Tropical Fruit forum you might want to check out. I have used soil warming cables in potted fruit trees but not in beds. If you do use cables, try plugging them into a Kill-o-Watt to find out how much electricity it's using. I am not sure if you would be interested in this, but I have heard that a solar hot water panel system works really well with radiant heat. -Very efficient. We are planning on having a solar hot water system connected to pipes buried in raised beds when we build our greenhouse because keeping the plants' roots warm will allow us to keep the air temperatures relatively low. |
It is interesting how one looks at options differently at different stages of construction. We had a budget and over spent as it was - and - we never thought we would be interested in growing in our GH during the winter at our elevation and winter temperatures! I think your hot water system is probably the best solution but difficult for us to now incorporate. I did read the Tropical Fruit forum you mentioned which actually gave me the idea. I had hoped that someone may have tried it in zone 4 to test it with vegetables. I guess I will go ahead and try a small bed and see how it works. Thanks for you comments. |
Hi 7000 feet, I have not tried soil heating cables. I use the heat mats as a stop gap, which works fine, but only with the plants that are on the shelves. I am pretty well resigned to not have much growth from now until late Feb. But if I wanted to go that direction I would try something along the lines of what you are thinking. I especially like the idea of a frame and a lid - just another way to capture some of the warmth from the ground. For now I just have things planted in the ground beds and covered with the frost blanket. Whoops -- but tonight I forgot the frost blanket which is too bad because it's going to be near zero. I have maybe 2 or 3 salad's worth of various greens that have grown since it got cold. Of course I don't want to harvest them because that will be the end of it. :) I agree about using a kill-a-watt meter. I use that all over the house to measure the electricity draw. Very interesting results! But I imagine the soil heating cables don't use too much energy, and certainly a lot less than a space heater. Besides, there in WY you have plenty of coal to make electricity with. :) I would recommend taking out the soil heaters in the spring. Seems like they would last a lot longer with minimal chance of you hitting them with a shovel accidentally. Your greenhouse sounds really nice. We'll look forward to seeing some pictures. Sorry that I wasn't able to be more helpful with instructions. (I was on my way to go skiing, after all!) |
The Temperature dropped to -24 Friday night. The soil in the GH raised bed was froze everywhere except where I had covered the plants with a frost blanket. I was amazed that the lettuce & spinach survived. I am going to try the soil heat in a small area with a polycarbonate lid and see how it performs. I may come to the same conclusion (resignation to growing Dec-Feb) but we do want to start tomato plants early and heat mats/soil cables appear to be the best option in our climate. I was able to post photo's in the practice forum but haven't figured out how to post on this forum yet. Thanks for you help. Your GH looks great -by the way! 7000feet - 100% chance of snow the next two days but at least the temp will be above 20 degrees. |
I think I am getting a handle on your instructions for posting photos - here are a few.

I once visited a garden in which the owner buried the necks of wine bottles in the ground, allowing the rest of the bottle to stick above ground so the wine bottles could act as decorative edging along a pathway. It took a lot of wine bottles, though, and they were smaller than 3 litres. You could check out the ideas at the link I'm providing. |

Brine Women's A1 Complete Lacrosse Stick
First Stick
I started playing Lacrosse two years ago and purchased this stick when i started. It is a wonderful stick for people who are just starting and aren't quite sure if they are going to continue playing. The stringing on the top of the stick however did rip in the first year i got it so i had to get it restrung, also the paint on the shaft of the stick has completely come off from constant use in games. Overall i diffidently recommend this stick if you are just starting out and are not sure if you are going to enjoy the sport. Also i would be sure to keep the pocket tight as it loosens quite quickly. Even though the paint has come off i would recommend this stick 100%.
May 17, 2014
This was my second stick and I have been playing for 4 years. The head and shaft are great, but the stringing is horrible. My friend and I both had loose strings only 2 weeks after play. I would recommend it to any beginners but you should get it re-strung! :)
May 20, 2013
THIS STICK ISNT THE BEST BUT IT IS GREAT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE EITHER JUST STARTED PLAYING OR HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR A WHILE. i HAVE HAD IT FOR A FEW MONTHS AND IT HASN'T PEELED OR THE STRINGING HASNT BROKE OR COME LOOSE. IT CAN BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO CATCH WITH BECAUSE THE BALL COMMES OUT SOMETIMES. iT IS REALLY GOOD AT THROWING AND OK AT SCOOPING. THE POCKET IS VERY DEEP WITHOUT IT BEING ILLEGAL. I RECOMEND TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO IMPROVE THEIR GAME A LITTLE.

Ahhh, summer. It's a special time, when different rules apply than the rest of the year. You have a say in what you want to do and the options are plentiful. You can get a job, intern, travel, study, or do nothing at all. It's your choice, although we don't recommend the latter option. We encourage you to think of summer as the time to discover and explore your own interests.
Selecting a Program
As you start to explore different summer programs, remember that you are choosing how you will spend your summer. The more time you spend upfront on research, the happier you're likely to be in the long run.
Practical Constraints
Programs can vary widely in cost. Keep in mind that the quoted price is rarely all–inclusive. If cost is an issue, ask if any scholarships are available to students with financial need. Admissions requirements can also vary substantially amongst programs; some programs are quite competitive while others accept students on a first come–first served basis. And, don't forget to consider how a program fits into the rest of your summer; keep in mind other commitments such as family trips and college visits.
Personal Needs
Make sure any program you're considering has a mission that matches your own. Ask the program staff and alumni what makes the program special. Also, check out each program's main activities. If you want an experiential program, find out how much time is spent outside of the classroom.

When you remove the crepes from the pan they are too hot to handle to fold and put into a muffin pan but this must be done right away or the crepe hardens. 2.

I'm interested in hearing your opinion about this new law here in the U.S. Are you...
1) Totally for it.
2) For it, but would like to see some parts repealed.
3) Totally against it and would like to see the system remain the same as before the law.
4) Totally against it but would like to see something else in its place.
5) Don't care... Shut it... Next!
I think I covered all the possible categories. But if you don't like them, let me know what you think. Personally, I'm #4.
I'm with you.
I agree. It's a start but needs to be expanded into a public option plan. With the wingnut reptilicans I'm amazed Obama got what we got. Prisoners get better health care than most Americans get...except in the for profit prisons.
I would prefer to see a public option as well, but I'm not holding my breath.
I'm for it, but would like to see a public option.
It's long over due.
No disrespect, but you didn't hit every option.
I'm for it, as far as it goes, but it doesn't go nearly as far as it should. Don't misunderstand me, as I somewhat (qualified) like President Obama. But he caved in to the Republican toady fascists for the insurance industry. When the bill was being debated, I happened to be in a Caribbean country where the majority of tourists are from Canada (can you say Fidel Castro?). The Canadians I spoke with, being cognizant of the debate in America on health care, had one question for me. "Are Americans really that f&*king stupid to be opposed to basic health care?!" I honestly had no good answer.
A public option, along the lines of the Canadian model, is the best option.
I'll got with #4 also. The Repubs are right about some things... it has Constitutional problems (though Repubs have no trouble ignoring the constitution in other areas). And the last thing we need is more inroads into the Constitution. It's not going to be sustainable. It's vast, complex, probably will reduce job creation as potential employers weigh the potential long term cost of each employee they take on.
Part of the problem is the slipping of the argument. Promoters of the bill talk about people crushed by massive medical bills from expensive things like cancer treatment, heart attack etc, but instead of addressing the high expense items they drag everything into the net (including the no copay birth control--what is the point of that).
The more sensible alternative is to provide (government assisted for low income if needed) catastrophic coverage that only kicks in for the financially catastrophic events.. the first few thousand you're on your own. This would be vastly less expensive and simpler to administer, but Congress actually eliminated that option completely.
My apologies for not seeing that there certainly would be the position of #1 not going far enough. [Guess it shows my own bias LOL ] WOW!!! And so many whom agree!
I guess the main reason I'm #4 is because the very presence of Insurance Companies within Health Care is what drives costs up. They have to get paid, and for what? They don't actually provide any value to the industry. Rather, they are a leech on Health Care. This Affordable Care Act will only stabilize high costs and not make anything any more affordable for anyone. (Do a few calculations on how much a $50 premium payment each month and a $30 copay will add to someone's expenses who only makes the Federal Minimum Wage of $7.25 an hour)
If we wanted to actually bring Healthcare costs down, we would OUTLAW Medical Insurance (except emergency). This would bring doctors, specialists and laboratories back to a truly free market of competition. And the Insurance companies' people would be forced to find some other means of generating income. Maybe they'd learn how to actually work for a living.
At the very least, it should be against the law to associate Health Insurance with your place of employment. Gees, this is such the burden on companies. It's a post WWII benefits incentive that has become ingrained in our society. Time to fix it by putting it back in the private lives of individuals.
I can't wait to here the Court's decision later this month !!!
In other words you don't see health care as a basic human right?
That is correct. I do not see health care as a basic human right. I don't see how it can be equated with other Constitutionally recognized Rights. If you or anyone would point me in that direction, I would certainly be interested.
What do you consider to be general welfare then?

Planning Board approves additional parking for Bay PathJune 5, 2014 |
By Chris Maza email@example.com EAST LONGMEADOW – The East Longmeadow Planning Board approved a request for additional parking at Bay Path College's new two-story graduate academic building at the corner of Denslow and Shaker roads. James Martin, an attorney from the firm of Robinson Donovan representing Bay Path College, explained the additional parking, which would be located at the southwest corner of the property, would not be a necessity when the building opened for classes, but was rather an attempt to be proactive and mitigate potential parking issues as the programs at the site become more popular. "Economically it makes sense to do it now when the whole project is underway than to try to do it at some point in the future when a small project would be much more expensive," he said. Martin added that the school and the developers had already conducted a roundtable discussion regarding the additional lot and intended to comply with all recommendations, which included the Fire Department's advice to install a heat sensor as part of the fire prevention system in the utility shed that would be located next to the lot. Rob Levesque of R. Levesque Associates of Westfield told the board the new lot would accommodate an additional 40 passenger vehicles at the back of the property, something he said the school wanted to install with the initial plans, but did not think was possible due to an easement held by Kinder Morgan energy company for gas lines that run along the southern portion of the property. "We have been working with Kinder Morgan for quite some time and they have a Tennessee Valley Gas transmission that runs through there – actually two lines that run through," he said, explaining that they were able to configure the lot in such a way that the required cover over the pipeline was not disturbed. "We're comfortable that we have a plan that not only works for Kinder Morgan, but that will work for the Planning Board and provide the additional parking." No additional sidewalks would be added, Levesque said and students and faculty would walk through the parking lot in what he called a "retail parking scenario." The parking would not be reserved and all parking on the site would be "first come, first served," Michael Giampietro, vice president of Finance for Bay Path, said. He added that the plan for lighting the parking lots has also been adjusted to include more modern lighting fixtures that would still eliminate light pollution outside of the site, as was agreed upon when the plan was initially approved. Updating the Planning Board on other aspects of the construction project, Levesque told the board that with the approval of the Conservation Commission, a small isolated vegetative wetland on the site was relocated to another location on the property. "That has been relocated, reshaped, and mitigated for providing a little additional area as well as providing native plant species that were found in that wetland," he said. In addition, the plans for the building's footprint received minor changes that actually made it smaller and would allow for more work to make the building more esthetically pleasing. "When we made those changes, it gave us the opportunity to enhance the hardscape out in front of the building and the rear of the building," he said. "The hardscape will include granite paving, very nice, high end, and we've updated the landscaping plan with new quantities and sizes. We anticipate the sizes will increase above the bare minimum, and we would like to reserve the right to add additional plantings and substitute based on availability, but everything would be native to the area." |

Which rushers will head the recruiting lists entering their final high school season? Dave Miller
The National Football Post continues to look ahead to the Class of 2012. Today, our first glance at the running backs.
As with the quarterbacks, this list is a very preliminary one, as prospects will rise and fall based off of their performances in summer camps and, of course, their play during their senior seasons.
But, for now, let's take a look at the most intriguing players at the running back position.
As the days and weeks unfold, and as I continue to watch more clips and further research these recruits, I will continue to unveil the top prospects at each position both on offense and defense.
Johnathan Gray was the Texas Gatorade Player of the Year in 2010.
1. Johnathan Gray: 5-10, 190-pounder from Aledo, TX
Status: Undeclared
Considering: Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, TCU and Texas Tech
Also recruited by: Baylor
2010: Rushed for 3,183 yards and 59 touchdowns. Named a first-team Class 4A all-state selection. Was the Texas Gatorade Player of the Year.
2009: Carried 350 times for 2,670 yards (7.6 average) and 45 touchdowns. Caught 29 passes for 457 yards (15.8 average) and eight more scores in helping lead Aledo to a state title.
Gray has rushed for 6,021 yards and 109 touchdowns in the last two seasons at Aledo High School — staggering numbers for the rising senior. The son of James Gray, who played at Texas Tech and in the NFL, Gray recently participated in junior days at Texas A&M, Texas and TCU and has already received a scholarship offer from the Longhorns. While rumors persist that he has already committed to head coach Mack Brown, the state's top junior insists that he is far from making a decision. While NCAA rules prevent coaches from calling recruits on the phone until July 1, Gray still receives around 40 letters a week. And the number may increase. The 5-10, 190-pounder, who had minor surgery on his right shoulder because of a labrum injury he suffered during his sophomore season, set a Texas high school state championship game record with eight rushing touchdowns and broke the record for most rushing scores in a season — a mark that stood since 1953. Whether he is running around or through defenses, Gray — who already accepted an invite to next year's U.S. Army All-American Bowl — is the top back to watch in 2011.
2. Rushel Shell: 5-11, 215-pounder from Aliquippa, PA
Status: Undeclared
Considering: Pittsburgh, Penn State, Ohio State, Tennessee and Florida
Also recruited by: West Virginia, Alabama, Virginia, North Carolina, Cincinnati and UCLA
2010: Carried 324 times for 2,475 yards (7.6 average) and 27 touchdowns. Added 12 catches for 198 yards and three more scores. Was a Class AAA all-state selection and the area player of the year.
2009: Rushed 250 times for 2,465 yards (9.9 average) and 31 touchdowns.
Shell, who also plays basketball at Hopewell High School in the Pittsburgh area, is an elite back who is a big fan of Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor. The two are friends, which leads many to speculate that the Buckeyes could be frontrunners despite the fact that Pryor won't be on campus if and when Shell arrives. In addition, Jim Tressel and Co. already have commitments from Bri'onte Dunn and Warren Ball — two of the best running backs in the country.
Matt Jones rushed for 1,300 yards and 23 touchdowns on 176 carries last season.
3. Matt Jones: 6-3, 220-pounder from Seffner, FL
Status: Florida
Also Considered: Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee and USC
Also recruited by: Notre Dame, Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Clemson and South Carolina
2010: Rushed for 1,447 yards and 25 touchdowns. Was a second-team all-area selection.
2009: Carried 88 times for 682 yards (7.8 average) and eight touchdowns. Added nine catches for 134 yards and one more score.
2008: Rushed for 124 yards and one touchdown.
Jones, who committed to Florida this month while holding approximately 30 scholarship offers, should be a perfect fit as a bigger back in Charlie Weis' pro-style offense. The downhill runner helped lead Armwood High School to the class 4A state title game last season and is determined to have a stellar 2011 season with his college choice already made. The coaching staff at Florida told Jones that he will be one of just two running backs in the Class of 2012, so he is being counted on to produce in Gainesville. He insisted that he is "a Gator for life" and that his decision will not change from now until Feb. 1, 2012 — the first day he can officially sign a national letter of intent with the Gators. Despite gaining 147 yards in last season's state title game, Jones managed just 7 yards on four carries in the final 21 minutes in his team's 17-14 loss. He cited dehydration for his ineffectiveness late, but the bruising, every-down back certainly would like to finish his high school career on a higher note next season.
Barry Sanders, Jr. visited Alabama this past weekend.
4. Barry Sanders, Jr.: 5-10, 190-pounder from Oklahoma City, OK
Status: Undeclared
Considering: Oklahoma State, Alabama, Florida State, UCLA and Notre Dame
Also recruited by: Texas A&M, Tennessee, Auburn, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Arizona and Tulsa
2010: Rushed 81 times for 1,136 yards (14.0 average) and 16 touchdowns. He also caught a touchdown pass. However, he played in only six games on the season due to a foot injury.
2009: Rushed for 1,700 yards and 22 touchdowns. Caught five touchdown passes, as well. Received all-state recognition.
2008: Rushed for 742 yards and 12 scores.
Yes, there is another Barry Sanders. Scary thought, right? The son of the Hall of Fame NFL running back has been a YouTube favorite ever since stepping onto the field for Heritage Hall High School. But Sanders Jr., who has already been chosen to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl game in San Antonio next year, is a bit of a different back than his dad, as he's a little bigger, more of an upright runner and possibly — just possibly — a little faster in the open field. He has very good acceleration and quick change of direction, and he also has the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. Will he choose to stay home and play for Oklahoma State like his father, or will he choose his own path at another school?
5. Keith Marshall: 5-11, 190-pounder from Raleigh, NC
Status: Undeclared
Considering: North Carolina, Clemson, Florida, Alabama and Auburn
Also recruited by: Georgia, Notre Dame, USC, Virginia Tech, South Carolina, NC State, Georgia Tech, South Florida and Duke
2010: Rushed for 1,539 yards and scored 17 touchdowns despite missing most of two games after suffering a concussion.
2009: Rushed for 1,166 yards and 12 touchdowns in 10 games. Caught two more scores and had 238 receiving yards.
Marshall is an all-purpose back who has a nice initial burst when he carries the ball. His vision may be his biggest asset, and he has home-run speed on all areas of the field. He has run the 40-yard dash in 4.25 seconds and consistently breaks 4.35. The son of former Denver Bronco Warren Marshall, he is an elusive and powerful runner who can block and catch passes out of the backfield. As he continues to add weight and get stronger, he will become more effective running between the tackles. The Millbrook High School star is a projected five-star prospect who already holds 20 offers, most from traditional major football powers, and is receiving contact from over 50 schools. The top-ranked junior prospect in the state of North Carolina has already accepted an invitation to next January's Under Armour All-America game.
Other backs to keep an eye on:
Trey Williams: A 5-8, 180-pounder from Houston, TX, who has rushed for 4,220 yards and 38 touchdowns over the past two seasons. Some schools he is considering include: LSU, Texas A&M, Auburn, Alabama and Arkansas.
Bri'onte Dunn: A 6-1, 222-pounder from Canton, OH, who has given a verbal commitment to Ohio State. He is a big, bruising back who gets many of his yards after initial contact. Was named to the Division I all-Ohio first team as a junior.
Warren Ball: The 6-1, 205-pounder, like Dunn, has given his verbal to the Buckeyes. The Columbus, OH, product missed four games with a groin injury in 2009 and missed time in 2010 with a high ankle sprain, so his durability is a bit of a concern.
Mario Pender: The 5-11, 195-pounder from Cape Coral, FL, has given his verbal to Florida State. The explosive and dynamic back rushed for 2,261 yards and 32 touchdowns as a junior, and he is often praised for his good character. He has world-class speed but also has no problem lowering the shoulder and initiating contact. He has gone overlooked a bit, possibly because of the lower level of competition he's played against, but he could have the type of impact that C.J. Spiller had for Clemson.
T.J. Yeldon: The 6-1, 205-pounder from Daphne, AL, helped lead his team to the 6A state title and a 15-0 record as a junior. Yeldon, who also plays basketball, is considering Auburn, Florida State, Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee. He is a very good runner and receiver — perhaps the perfect fit for a Gus Malzahn offense.

Scrambling in the glaring sun we lifted heavy wooden boxes laden with antiquities to safer locations at the site where hopefully they would be easier to protect at night. The director had his sleeves rolled up and, covered in dust, was booming spontaneous orders. The entire, hurried operation was guided by the levelheaded and reasonable decisions of the high-ranking officials responsible for the site now acting as patriotic Egyptians struggling to protect their history.
See also:
Giza, home to the Great Pyramids, had two storage facilities broken into in the wave of attacks on antiquities overtaking Egypt during the revolution. As the news broke I rushed to the site (where I am based as an antiquities inspector) to offer my help. I was not alone: many other inspectors and other employees had left the safety of their homes with the same thoughts. Egypt is riddled with archaeological sites and many remained virtually unscathed due to the inspectors and residents of the surrounding towns and villages endangering their lives to protect sites, storage locations and museums, as was the case at Beni Suef and Fayum.Under normal circumstances the tourist police are responsible for guarding Egypt's rich ancient history, from monasteries to temples, synagogues to mosques. But the police presence vanished in the revolution and has yet to return to the sites. The individual initiatives on the part of site inspectors and the townspeople from the remote areas is often the only current protection afforded to some of the world's most unique and magnificent monuments. We continue to work everyday on the makeshift salvage operation in Giza. Volunteers regularly turn up and, as we work, stories are exchanged about the looting where gangs of armed men attacked and shot the guards and plundered the site. The work we are conducting is not only physically draining but also emotionally exhausting. My anger is initially directed at the looters and my thoughts keep returning to the same question: why are these criminals, who are Egyptians, looting their own history and their nation's pride in order to sell it? Only if they stand to gain substantially would they go as far, feeding a market that is standing ready and prepared to amply reward them for their troubles; the better the object, the bigger the reward.No indication of the market for antiquities is clearer than in the selection of the sites targeted by the looters in the past few months in Egypt. The overwhelming majority is Pharaonic, followed by Islamic, with Coptic and Jewish so far remaining untouched. We are struggling to protect our sites, facing armed men while we have nothing but sticks, because of a demand from personal collections (both inside and outside Egypt) and from rival institutions seeking a competitive edge. We are paying the price for a greedy, insatiable and unregulated market.The writer is an antiquities inspector based at Giza in Egypt

How do you know the looters are Egyptian? Do you have some information you can share with the rest of us? Culturally speaking I don't think Egyptian people would steel from themselves there's nothing to be gained by that, but I could totally see some outsiders taking advantage of the unrest to do such a crime and blame the locals to create a diversion.This is a basic formula of divide and conquer which some people are experts at doing as history tells us.
28 Mar 11 15:8 CET
Well done Sarah ! Archaeologists in Britain called for an immediate halt to sales of Egyptian antiquities in January, immediately after the first robbery at Cairo Museum, since it would be so easy for stolen items to be put up for sale before their loss could be documented in Egypt. The British Government Department of Culture refused to do anything about this, stating that current legislation was enough.
28 Mar 11 15:7 CET
Your justified outrage about the looting of Egyptian museums and archaeological sites ended with a big thud when you blamed collectors and "rival institutions seeking a competitive edge". The looting is the work of opportunistic thugs and hoodlums, probably willing to take small sums of money for important treasures, as they cannot be sold legitimately. To think that they are somehow tied in to the international art trade is ludicrous. And how are these rivals getting a competitive edge? No institutions would buy such material.

- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Corona breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Siberian Husky/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Siberian Husky/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Corona paves the way for another one to be saved.

This is part 3 of a 3-part series. (Read Part 1 and Part 2)
- by Rev. Chris Corbin -
Rev. Chris Corbin is a provisional elder in the United Methodist Church from the Florida Conference currently under appointment as a doctoral student in theology at Vanderbilt University. His primary research interests relate to establishing a robust theological notion of the nature and mission of the church in the world. He is incredibly interested in ecumenical work, exploring new models of theological education, and helping to reclaim a distinctively Wesleyan way of being Christian in contemporary society.
If holiness is a quality that cannot be reduced to any number of specific variables in a person or relationship, a quality that eludes precise definition, a quality that grasps all those in its presence, then true holiness will always disrupt whatever artificial confines and limitations placed on it by human beings. I know that heterosexuality is not necessary for holiness because I have been given the gift of experiencing holiness in so many non-heterosexual people and relationships. It is my belief and hope that when confronted with individuals and relationships that exhibit such holiness, those who hold so tightly to the "incompatibility" between LGBTQ peoples and relationships and growth in holiness will no longer be able to hold such beliefs unquestionably.
The answer to how those of us who support full LGBTQ inclusion in the church can hope to disrupt unwavering opposition to such inclusion is that experiences of holiness outside of heterosexual relationships will have to be made unavoidable and overwhelming. How this goal is accomplished is both incredibly simple and incredibly demanding: those who support full inclusion must seek after holiness with a zeal and passion that far outpaces the majority of those in the church today. LGBTQ people who are in the church must strive after Christian perfection in their lives and relationships to the point of so excelling the majority of those who oppose full inclusion in holiness that they are without an excuse. This exacting standard must be borne just as much by allies so that they might bear effective witness to the possibility of holiness in LGBTQ people and relationships, and so that no one can ever claim that their support for full inclusion comes out of any moral weakness or attempt at accommodating "the world." On the one hand, such an answer to the question of how we disrupt entrenched opposition to full inclusion means expecting infinitely more of ourselves than is expected of most other people who fill our United Methodist Churches, so much so that it might seem an unfair burden has been placed upon us; on the other hand, nothing more is expected of us than that we actually live into our baptismal and membership promises, even if the majority of those around us do not.
While I said above that I do not think that most of the time people actually change their minds on deeply held beliefs through argumentation, this does not mean that I believe that it is no longer necessary to explain through theologically and biblically sound arguments how being pro-LGBTQ does not conflict with (at least the spirit of) the Bible and our theological tradition. Such arguments might not convince people who are unwilling to even ask the question, but for those whose minds have been opened to such a possibility, such arguments hold the power to convince. Such arguments become absolutely necessary for helping people who have gone from opposition to support for LGBTQ inclusion see that such a position does not mean abandoning a deep respect for the authority of Scripture or the Christian tradition. Such arguments become vital for showing those who have nothing to do with the church or Christianity—because they have only ever known a Christianity that preaches exclusion and marginalization of LGBTQ people—that Christianity does not necessarily entail homophobia and bigotry. So, I completely affirm not only the importance of such arguments, but also the endeavor both to continue making these arguments clearer and more widely known, and to continually seeking out more theologically and biblically sound arguments.
Ultimately, the most unsettling element of all this is not the difficulty of striving after lives of greater holiness or the task of witnessing to the holiness we have seen and heard about in others, but rather is facing the reality that there is no guarantee that our action cannot at the end of the day force anyone's mind to be changed. Even in the face of the most world-shaking events, people still always have the freedom to become open to new possibilities or to hold that much stronger to their original beliefs. However, I am convinced that if there is any possibility for opening people to the possibility of the truth of our position, it is that we must faithfully bear witness to the truth through constantly striving for holiness and being ready to give an account if and when that witness has opened people to new possibilities.

On Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London, you and your costars pop up during the movie for a visual cast commentary. Never seen that before!
We're the first to do it. The interactive thing makes you feel more with the commentator. I think it's definitely better for kids, and for everyone. Hopefully, people will copy our idea.
Which James Bond movie is your favorite?
I guess the latest one -- ''Die Another Day,'' with Halle Berry. Just because of the cars. I haven't seen all the James Bond movies, but I'm really into cars.
With all the martial-arts training you did for this sucker, is your body still a lethal weapon?
It's really funny -- I've lost 25 pounds of muscle since I stopped training. I can barely lift my leg above my hips anymore. You gotta keep it up.
So when will you complete the Cody Banks trilogy?
I'm not sure there's gonna be a third. But it was fun. Maybe in the future I can play James Bond!

Color-blocking is exactly what it sounds like: blocks of colors, black, white, or gray used in geometric patterns on clothes, shoes, and accessories. It's also one of the biggest trends this season, but we prefer to take part in the trend in small doses. So we found eight pairs of color-block heels, flats, and wedges to tickle your tootsies with color.

Is 2000 the latest published Vintage Big Catalog, please? Thanks. Kim |
Follow-Up Postings:
Never mind, thank you. I answered my own question. 2006 is the latest. Kim |
Kim, do you know approximately how often they do a new one? It is such an excellent & interesting resource, I was preparing to order a new one, but if the latest is 2006, perhaps they're planning another soon. Guess I'll call first. |
I seriously doubt a new edition is planned. Creating and printing that kind of catalog is a very expensive and time consuming proposition. How many months are there before Vintage's planned closure? By all means call, but if you want the book as a reference, grab it now! What I find very valuable is it gives the provenance of every rose they offer. Kim |
Thanks, Kim. Oh yeah, gonna order tomorrow. I really respect Vintage's effort & my old one is a ragged mess. "Catalog" doesn't do the thing justice--it's a "Modern Roses" abstract. |
You're welcome bluegirl. And, you're absolutely right. It IS a fine piece of reference material. How many "rose books" have been written by people who have as much literal hands-on experience with every rose they contain? Gregg has given us a great collection of information. Well worth the price! Kim |

To the best of my knowledge the planned closure is off the table at the moment. With our support Vintage could live on. |

What a creative and compelling use of the 'Fashion Statement' concept in the new Harvey Nichols Womenswear and Menswear campaign. The ads really speak for the concept, and the visuals by photographer Jonathan De Villiers are really fantastic. You gotta be careful when you wear his line though, the fashion statement might be so strong as to knock the people around you down.

text: I recently rubbed my eyes until they hurt and now are red with blurred vision. I went to the eye doctor. He said my eyes looked fine and give me a pair of temporary contacts. This was over two weeks ago. Are my eyes going to go back to normal? Have I ruined them? Would he have noticed something wrong if I hadn't said anything about rubbing them?
