Actors Who Sing: Russell Crowe
BAND The sextet 30 Odd Foot of Grunts
MOST RECENT ALBUM Other Ways of Speaking, 2004 (EW Grade: C) [Previous albums: Bastard Life or Clarity, 2001 (EW Grade: B-); Gaslight, 2002]
SOUNDS LIKE... Brooding, '90s-style alt-rock except one track on Speaking, ''Mission Beat,'' which is reminiscent of The Sopranos' theme song (by Alabama 3).
THE LOWDOWN If you love Crowe's emotional intensity as an actor, bad news: He's not as convincing while singing about infidelity and lost love. ''The Grunts' tunes milk folk-rock clichés, while Crowe's vocals strain with faux sensitivity,'' said EW's Jim Farber. The Grunts dissolved a few months ago, but Russ released a solo project just last week, My Hand, My Heart (now available on iTunes).
MEMORABLE LYRIC ''I've never found it easier to spend my days/ My soul sings the prowler's nocturne/ From deep down within this cage.'' (''Painted Veil'')
DOWNLOAD THIS ''Never Be Alone Again,'' a duet with the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde, may not be the best-written song (''I engender in your fear''?), but it's a sweet, simple acoustic tune. And you may even tap your foot a little to ''What's Her Name?''

Despite a difficult economic climate, many young Americans are still interested in entrepreneurial pursuits. A Harris Interactive® online poll, conducted on behalf of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, released in conjunction with the start of Global Entrepreneurship Week, reveals that 40 percent of youth ages eight to 24 would like to start a business at some future point, or already have done so. Additionally, young people are overwhelmingly optimistic about the possibility of owning their own business. Seventy-five percent of the eight- to 12-year-olds, 62 percent of the 13- to 17-year-olds and 62 percent of the 18- to 24-year-olds agree that they can successfully start their own businesses if they work hard.
For the past couple of years, the Kauffman Foundation's Bob Litan has teamed up with Rob Atkinson of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation in releasing the State New Economy Index during Global Entrepreneurship Week. The trend continues this year at the ITIF offices on Thursday.
Many jobs lost in the recession are never coming back and job creation is expected to be sluggish for years. This has created an imperative to develop new jobs, business models and industries. The states are on the front line of this effort and it is more important than ever for them to embrace innovation and the New Economy...
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation-- courtesy of Innovation America and its founder, Rich Bendis. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week: The Crowdfunding Revolution (Innovation America)...
Throughout this week, when another 80 countries launch Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), there will be a significant number of events organized by GEW partners at universities, schools, companies, professional associations, technological centers and municipalities. Like last week's events in Muslim countries, the activities will be diversified, ranging from thematic conferences to networking with investors and entrepreneurs, presentation of business plans, recreational events, sport events, cultural events, etc. There will be something for everyone and I encourage all to take advantage of these opportunities.
"In business, the only certain thing is failure. Especially when you operate in a place like Indonesia," Sandiaga Uno said earlier this year during his visit to the U.S. for President Obama's Summit on Entrepreneurship. After being laid off during the financial crisis in Asia in the late 90s, Uno decided to try entrepreneurship to pay off credit card debt and put food on his family's table. He is now the renowned co-founder of Saratoga Capital, the first private equity firm in Indonesia focusing on natural resources that grew from four workers to about 15,000 employees.
Congress will be in session this week – returning to the 18th lame duck session since 1935 – then will go back into recess for Thanksgiving week. In the meantime, several hearings in the House and Senate (below) may be of interest.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation-- courtesy of Innovation America and its founder, Rich Bendis. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week: University of Arizona Takes Tech Transfer Private (Inside Tucson Business)...
Historically, angels have been the most significant source of seed and start-up capital for entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, angels seems to have a much more cautious approach to investing lately. Angels' seed and start-up stage investing declined to its lowest level in several years, according to the Angel Market Analysis for the first and second quarters of 2010 released by the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire. This trend could impact new ventures and job creation.
Since it was launched in 2008 by the Kauffman Foundation and Enterprise UK, more than 18,000 partner organizations joined the global movement to shape the next generation of entrepreneurs. In its still short life, GEW has established a solid and ongoing presence in more than 100 countries -- and counting. During the same time period, over 10 million people around the world have participated in GEW activities and 2010 promises to boost that total to tap even more human capital and breathe life into new startups.
While the majority of nations this year will start Global Entrepreneurship Week on November 15th, some countries are conducting their celebrations a week or more in advance due to an important Muslim holiday, Eid al-Adha, falling on November 16th.
After an election night that predictably returned the Republicans to the majority in the House while Democrats hung on to a slim margin in the Senate, members will look to return to Washington for official business next week. Stay tuned for congressional hearings and other events related to innovation and entrepreneurship.
The Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship brings to light various policies and initiatives to advance innovation and drive economic growth.

Prospective Exchange Students
In order to participate in an exchange program at UVa you must be enrolled in good standing at an institution with which UVa has a formal exchange agreement and you must be nominated by your institution to participate in the exchange program. For a list of institutions with which UVa has formal contractual exchange agreements please see our list of exchange partners.
Course Selection and Registration
As an exchange student you will be enrolled in one of the following Schools or Colleges at UVa:
School of Architecture
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
School of Engineering and Applied Science
School of Nursing
McIntire School of Commerce
School of Law
Darden School of Business (please contact Darden directly for application procedures)
Your school of enrollment is dependent on the exchange agreement between UVa and your home institution so it is important to consult with the study abroad advisor at your home institution in advance of submitting an application to UVa.
- Step 1: Obtain your home institution's permission to apply to UVA as an exchange student under the terms of your home institution's agreement with UVA. Exchange students must be approved (e.g. "cleared", "nominated," etc.) for participation in an exchange program by their home institution.
- Step 2: Complete the Exchange Student Application and submit it, with all required documentation listed on the application, either to your home institution who will forward it to UVa, OR directly to the International Studies Office. Additional information about applying to ISO is listed on the form.
- Application deadlines:
- Fall 2014 – March 1, 2014
- Spring 2015 – October 1, 2014
If admitted you will receive an email notifying you of your acceptance to the University as an exchange student. In addition, UVA will send an acceptance package to your home institution containing the visa documents that you will need in order to obtain a J-1 student visa. This package should then be forwarded on to you by the exchange coordinator at your home institution. Please review the information on J-1 status and obtaining your J-1 visa from our website: J-1 Status.
Course Selection and Registration
Exchange students are eligible to enroll in any courses offered at the University (with the exception of the professional schools which include Law, Business and Medicine) regardless of your school of enrollment as long as you meet any pre-requisites required for the course and/or receive instructor permission.
Exchange students enrolled in the Law School, School of Nursing, Darden School of Busines and the McIntire School of Commerce will receive separate instructions directly from those schools on course selection and enrollment procedures.
The "Course Catalog" includes the complete list and description of all courses offered at UVa. It is called the Graduate or Undergraduate Record at UVa and can be found online at http://records.ureg.virginia.edu/ . The Course Offering Directory (COD) is the list of courses that are offered for a specific semester or term. It becomes available midway through the previous semester (about 3 months before spring semester classes begin and about 6 months before fall semester classes begin). Exchange students are required to wait until the "open enrollment" date before they are eligible to enroll in any courses at UVa. Please note that UVA cannot guarantee that an exchange student will be able to enroll in any specific course offered.
Under the terms of UVA's exchange agreements, UVA tuition and student fees are waived for exchange students. Student fees do not include health insurance.
Additionally, the ISO requires that all students provide documentation of the availability of at least $6,500 per semester of attendance at UVA. A bank statement and/or a letter from a sponsor (such as parents) is sufficient documentation of these funds. $6,500 is the minimum estimated cost of living based on shared accommodation and including meals, housing, personal expenses, and books and supplies. This does not include the cost of transportation to and from Charlottesville, entertainment, or any travel that you may plan to do while in the US. Please take this into consideration when planning for your exchange program.
Exchange students must obtain and pay for their own health insurance. US government regulations for the J-1 visa program stipulate that health insurance must meet a minimum level of coverage. Please verify that your insurance meets these minimum requirements in advance of your arrival at UVa.
The University also requires that you complete a pre-entrance health form. The form should be submitted directly to the Elson Student Health Center. Exchange students are not required to purchase the University of Virginia student health insurance coverage offered through Aetna OR register for the hard waiver program. Although not required, the Aetna plan is available for exchange students to purchase, but can only be purchased for the entire academic year. If you will be attending UVa for a single semester this coverage may not be appropriate.
Exchange students are eligible for residential (on-campus) housing at UVa. Fall semester students can find information about applying for on-campus housing at www.virginia.edu/housing. Housing options available to exchange students are listed under the "transfer student" link on the housing webpage.
Students arriving for the Spring term should email the Housing Division at email@example.com to request accommodation and list your preferences for residence (see the Housing Website). This should be done before November 30. In December vacancies will be determined and students will be emailed a housing offer.
If you elect NOT to live in residential housing there are many options available off-grounds near the University. This website offers a listing of a wide variety of off-grounds accommodations: http://offgroundshousing.student.virginia.edu/.
If you are planning to apply for on-campus housing please note when housing will be available for move-in. If you plan to arrive in Charlottesville before your residential housing becomes available you will need to contact housing directly to arrange for an early move-in or make arrangements to stay at a local hotel.
By Air
We recommend for all international students to fly into the Charlottesville/Albemarle Airport
(CHO), located approximately 7 miles (11.5 km) from UVa. The cost of flying into CHO is generally somewhat more expensive than arriving at a near-by international airport such as Dulles (IAD) located just outside of Washington, D.C. Please note that the cost of transportation by taxi or shuttle from Dulles may exceed the cost of the additional airfare. Taxi service is available from CHO.
Airlines that regularly fly in and out of the Charlottesville/Albemarle Airport include:
- Delta - www.delta.com
- Northwest - www.nwa.com
- United Express - www.united.com
- US Airways - www.usairways.com
Other airports in the region include:
- Richmond International Airport (RIC) - Approximately 84 miles (140 km) 1.5 hour drive
- Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) - Approximately 103 miles (172 km) 2 hour drive
- Washington Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) - Approximately 118 miles (197 km) 2.5 hour drive
- Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) - Approximately 151 miles (252 km) 3 hour drive
UVAExpress: UVaExpress is the free coordinated shuttle bus transportation available for all international students from Dulles airport directly to U.Va. in August for the Fall term only.
By Train:
You can reach Charlottesville on the Amtrak rail system from many cities throughout the U.S. See www.amtrak.com for more information on routes, rates, and schedules. Please note that if you arrive at Dulles Airport and have scheduled Amtrak transportation to Charlottesville, you will be required to hire a taxi or find other means of transportation from the airport to Amtrak's Union Station in Washington, D.C. From the Baltimore/Washington International Airport, (BWI) a train can take you to Union Station in Washington, where you may catch a train to Charlottesville.
Other Transportation Options:
Go Green Charlottesville: www.gogreentaxiva.com
Van on the Go: www.vanonthego.com.
All exchange students are required to attend a mandatory orientation session held by the International Studies Office. Details about the time and location for this required session are here: ISO Exchange Student Orientation.
You will need to bring your passport, I-94, DS-2019, and proof of medical insurance with you to this orientation. We will need to make copies of these documents for our records. Please verify that whatever insurance you have selected meets the requirements listed on our website for J-1 visa holders. If you are unsure copy the requirement, send it to your insurer and ask them to verify that it meets the requirement.

Gisbert JP et al. – The response rate to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients is low. Administration of a double dose was associated with a higher response rate. Therefore, the double dose protocol could be a suitable option in patients with IBD.
Methods- Patients diagnosed with IBD from three tertiary hospitals were vaccinated against HBV with two different protocols: the standard protocol (Engerix-B single dose at 0, 1 and 6 months) and the new faster protocol based on a double dose (Engerix B double dose at 0, 1 and 2 months).
- Anti-HBs titres were measured 1-3 months after the last dose.
- A multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors that were predictive of response to the vaccine.
- The study sample comprised 148 patients (mean age 40 years, 69% Crohn's disease), 70% of whom were receiving immunosuppressive therapy (22% thiopurines, 23% anti-TNF and 25% both).
- The standard protocol was followed in 46% of patients and the double dose protocol in 54%.
- Considering anti-HBs >10 IU/L as a successful response to vaccination, the seroconversion rate was higher among patients vaccinated with the double dose than with the standard dose: 75% (95% CI, 65-85%) vs. 41% (95% CI, 29-54%) (P < 0.001).
- In the multivariate analysis, vaccination with the double dose was the only factor associated with a better response to the vaccine (OR, 4; 95% CI, 2-8; P < 0.001).

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cat X001!
Facts about Cat X001
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Cat X001's Info...
Approximately 6 weeks old. If you are interested in adopting this cat please email us for an application.
Act quickly to adopt Cat X001. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at City of Rocky Mount Animal Control
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cat X001, a Rocky Mount Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Rocky Mount, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Rocky Mount.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Rocky Mount already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Rocky Mount 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Rocky Mount paves the way for another one to be saved.

A Celebration of All Things Cultural, Artistic, and Entertaining in Madison
Sep 13, 2011
SpotlightVantage Points
Driving onto to the Edgewood College campus on Monday, I didn't notice them at first. I was admiring the dazzling blue sky and watching a crowd of students walk to class. But then something dangling from a tree caught my eye—there they were!
After I noticed one painted wood frame swaying in the wind, I realized there were dozens suspended from tree branches all along the road and throughout the campus beyond.
The frames are a new installation by Geswerk, a Madison-based art collective that brings together artists, businesses, nonprofits and the broader community. Brent Gerlach and others from the organization spent the weekend hanging the frames, which will remain on display this week as an exhibition called Windows of Worlds.
Geswerk leaders reached out to high school students for help in constructing the frames from recycled wood. Then the high schoolers, college students and others painted and decorated the "windows" in personalized styles.
Throughout the week, visitors are encouraged to explore the installation and pause to take photographs of people striking a pose within the windows or the views through them.
It's all about taking the time to appreciate art in our city and considering our surroundings from different perspectives. As Geswerk organizers state on their website, "there are many 'windows' in which to view the world. We only need to take the time to look."
The installation ends with a Windows of Worlds festival on September 17. The free event mixes live music—headlined by Natty Nation—with art, food, break dancing, face painting and more. Check online for a full schedule of events.
After the festival, Geswerk will sell the frames, with proceeds benefiting Porchlight.
Like all of the organization's events, the goal is to draw people together and celebrate creativity. Says Gerlach, "We want to use the arts and show people this is happening where you live."
For more information on Geswerk, visit geswerk.org.

Marijuana smokers who want to keep their bud busting under wraps are sure to love the Grindrite Watch, which hides a grinder for pot underneath the face of a watch. The Grindrite Watch comes in two different varieties, which can either hide a grinder or a secret compartment for putting one's stash.
We're seeing a plethora of crafty ways to hide drugs and alchohol these days, so the Grindrite Watch comes as little surprise. The working quartz movement means that being able to tell if it's anything else is close to impossible. A smell-proof design means that few people will be the wiser when you're wearing the watch.
The Grindrite Watch comes in a variety of different colors, which means that making the choice between shade and style might be a bit tough.

No, not Bruce Springsteen :)
I am attending a Christmas party given by my DH's boss. I have met the boss and his wife and they are a very nice young couple. She and I have hit it off, thank goodness. The party they are having is a "drop in" type thing, not a sit down dinner. I know that Mrs. Boss likes merlot because I noted this at the company wide Christmas party. But, I would prefer not to bring wine as I am not that skilled at choosing a good one. I would prefer to bring something different or unusual. They are a pretty "hip" couple with young children. Thought maybe someone on this forum might share their experience with gifts that they have received and enjoyed. Ideas? |

An amaryllis bulb potted up - you can buy them in many flower shops and garden centers this time of year all ready blooming. I used to work at a garden center and they were very popular this time of year for hostess gifts - we would often make them up an arrangement with some ivy or a poinsettia, covered with spanish moss and topped with a festive bow. The basket, of course, can be used long after the holiday season. Dollar amount here can vary from less than $20 to $$$, depending on basket and number of plants. We also made up a lot of herbal baskets this time of year - you can tuck in a bottle of herb vinegar or oil - even a small cookbook. A "Morning After Basket" with breakfast breads, jelly and tea or coffee mix. ~ Suzie |
A jar of home made jam and a spreader, a loaf of nut bread, a couple of special candles, a small box of special chocolates, a pot of peperwhites not yet blooming, some nice note paper....something for the dog, or the kids...... Shouldn't be too hard. Linda C |

Last time Kyle went to a Christmas party at the boss' house, he gave the boss a fancy sort of wine stopper that was crafted by a local artisan. We're not good at picking out wine either and the boss was a wine collector. |
I love those paperwhites this time of year! I received those as a gift one year and started buying them for myself and others. I like the wine stopper idea. I prefer not to receive food this time of year, because there is so much and it gets lost in the shuffle or not eaten. |

I was going to suggest a set of real nice cheese spreaders, along with a few nice cheeses & some gourmet crackers-all nestled in a nice basket with a Christmassy cloth napkin. Personally-although it's not very 'classy'...I present hostesses with a pair of the greatest paring knives-they are a 1 pc knife & stay sharp forever! I give the paring & a tomato knife. The hostesses never cease to comment on how they love them, thankfully thinking of me every time they use them! |
As someone who was on the recieving end of "boss's wife" gifts for a lot of years, might I suggest something consumable....as I said, candles, wine, preserves, a plant, nice paper goods. A lot of "things" is not always a good thing... Linda C....who feels if it was a gift, I must display it proudly....even if I already have 5 of them, and would rather have something that can be used up...... |
- Posted by Talley_Sue_NYC (My Page) on Wed, Dec 18, 02 at 20:52
I say get the merlot--and tell her you noticed that she likes it. Ask some wine-shop guy for a recommendation, and you'll be fine. I think gifts that show you through about the specific person are better than gifts you pick out of only obliation, or that indicate you considered her _classification_--young mom, etc. And I'm w/ Lindac, get something consumable. That poor woman, if she's got little kids, already has too many little things in her house. If you don't want to do the wine, do a nice jam, or something. I personally won't do candles or bath & lotion stuff, because I hate them and I think most people have plenty, even if they like them. Even fresh flowers are nice.

What did you decide to take?! I usually take scented candles; there are so many lovely ones in the stores these day! Maybe Santa mugs for the kids? If they are a young couple, would a Christmas-themed candy dish or serving tray have been appropriate? |
I took a pretty basket of sweets. Thought that was a good idea since they have the two children. It all worked out just fine. Thanks for all the advice. |

Lindsay Gurley
Lindsay was first introduced to yoga for the workout and strength building at a hot yoga studio in Denver, Colorado. After practicing for several years, her practice expanded from the physical into a deeper personal experience, allowing her to slow down and tune into the internal world and multiple realms of yoga. For Lindsay, yoga changed her life into a meditation of motion in every moment of the day, realizing that all challenges that life hands to her can be experienced and accepted through the expansion of yoga into her daily life.
Lindsay was trained in Kripalu Yoga at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, a compassionate yoga practice for the mind, body and spirit intended for any level of practice. With Lindsay, you can expect a safe class that goes deep, accompanied by her bubbly and soothing presence.
Lindsay has also lead hikes in the Roaring Fork Valley (Aspen/Snowmass region) for over three years. She started hiking as a young child with her family and over the years developed a deep love for the wilderness. Lindsay worked as a Naturalist Hiking Guide at the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies in 2010 and continues to hike throughout the region.

Object Airlock: The aim of this document is to describe a video-processing based syst...
SMACS, the SMart Airlock Control System, is a video-based security hardware and software product designed to secure the passage of persons. In particular SMACS performs singularisation analysis, i.e. ensuring that only one person is present to enter the secure zone.
The main difference between the standard SMACS and the SMACS FastFace is that this version of SMACS, in addition to singularisation control in airlocks, offers the possibility to save an image of the face of each person that has used the airlock.
To use video analysis, the environment in which this system is installed becomes very important.
Despite being one of the most versatile singularisation systems that exists, SMACS requires the following factors to be taken into consideration at the design stage:
Stable lighting - Video-based analysis systems require proper lighting conditions for reliable analysis. In total darkness or dim light no analysis is possible, and strongly varying lighting poses an equal problem. Direct sunlight is to be avoided, as it can saturate the camera image, cast strong shadows, and fluctuate rapidly. If the airlock is made partly of glass it would be possible, if necessary, to make the glass more opaque.
Ceiling height - The principle of SMACS is based on a "bird's-eye view" of the activity inside the corridor. If the camera is too low, not only is it difficult to see everywhere in the airlock, but also a tall person standing under the camera would occupy the whole image. This would not pose a security issue (SMACS would never open the airlock in such a case), but tall people would not be authorised as SMACS cannot be 100% sure that the person is alone.
High-contrast design elements - For high reliability, standard SMACS requires high-contrast elements in the airlock. This allows accurate detection and avoids ambiguity in the case where part of a user's clothing is similar in colour to the airlock walls or floor. In case of the SMACS Corridor, the high-contrast design elements could be a contrasted carpet, fixed on the floor, only in front of the secure door.
The standard SMACS FastFace configuration is:
In the following figure you can see a standard SMACS FastFace configuration:
The hardware configuration of the SMACS FastFace is the same as the hardware configuration of standard SMACS:
Basic SMACS components
Basic camera components
A camera is part of the SMACS standard equipment and is delivered with SMACS. Its components include:
Operating configuration
The most common configuration of SMACS FastFace is as follows:
When someone enters the airlock, SMACS can detect his/her face in the video image and save a still image of it. In the same time, the singularisation process is performed. Then, SMACS saves a copy of the top-view image with the person's face overlaid in the corner. If a problem or alarm occurs, you can then know very easily who is responsible for it.
Moreover, Fastcom Technology is currently working on a face recognition system that would be able to search automatically for someone in your log images, only by comparing them to a picture of the person you search.
For low flow airlocks, SMACS FastFace can be combined with SMACS BioVisual for a very high security level. SMACS Biovisual is based on the fact that each person has a personal visual signature in the image; it uses identification information to know who is currently inside the airlock and to adapt the singularisation process to him. A registering procedure for each person that will use the airlock is needed first.

U.S. should build a border fence first like Israel did
On Sunday, June 9, I attended an educational seminar at Temple Beth-El in Northbrook, Ill. The event was sponsored by the Protect Our Heritage Educational Fund, Inc. which is based in Skokie, Ill.
At one point in the meeting, the speakers commented on how well a border fence had worked for Israel. Before the border fence was built and guarded, Hezbollah terrorists regularly crossed the border to bomb buses, schools, and wedding receptions in Israel. The border fence on Israel's north border reduced the terrorism tremendously.
That comment struck a nerve with me. I have relatives and friends in southwestern states. I pay attention to news of the harm that unguarded borders and illegal immigrants cause. Criminal enterprises use the unguarded borders to smuggle drugs and illegal aliens into the country. But, criminal groups steal cars, trucks, and construction equipment in the U.S. and take it south to Mexico to sell the booty at a huge profit. Las Vegas is notorious for stolen autos that are driven to Mexico.
Unguarded borders and illegal immigration are big business. Some of the blood and drug stained money from those who profit from it are funding the current drive for immigration reform because that will keep the borders open so that it will be business as usual.
America should learn from Israel. We should build a border fence first.

Firefighter who walked off with camera was wrong
This guy, Jerome Lynch, is all over social media using the term "allegations." Lynch is referring to the camera at the Genesis Center in which he is the center of attention. He also claimed he took a Times' photographer's camera by mistake. In reality, there is a witness who had seen Lynch leave the Genesis Center with two cameras.
The part that irks me is if this action would have been committed by a young guy wearing baggy pants hanging down low on his behind they would have "put cuffs" on him. .. but the fireman (Lynch) had on his fireman's uniform with his pants "pulled up."

Candidate likes to blame but doesn't have any solutions
Officer Martinez believes he has the knowledge to lead the Lake County Sheriff's Department. This coming from an individual who does not attend the County Commissioner meetings, County Council meetings, Sheriff's Merit Board meetings or FOP Lodge meetings. It seems to me the only thing Officer Martinez has prepared himself to do is to blame everyone for the department's issues except himself. If he is so concerned, why is he not voicing his opinion at any of the meetings listed? I guess if you have no new ideas it's safer to play the blame game!

Philly Hybrid X Team
When We Last Saw Them: The Philly team, comprised of high school students in an after school mechanical engineering class, planned on deploying a lithium-ion battery Toyota Corolla plug-in hybrid with some help from Boeing engineers and Drexel University's MBA program.
The Changes: The Philly team made two changes in the last six months. First, it switched from a Toyota Corolla chassis to a Ford Focus chassis for four-door entry in an effort to show that government car fleets, which are usually made in America, could be composed of hybrids. The team members also added an interchangeable second drivetrain that runs on biodiesel. The Philly team found itself so ahead of the game it's added a second entry: A sports car. This second entry is mostly for fun, says team leader Simon Hauger. "It seems like a lot of these smalls teams are building all these fast cars," Hauger says, "so we wanted to build one too."
The Bottom Line: Looking to prove that hybrids can be economically, as well as technically viable, the Philly team hopes its cars serve as proof of concept for police and government fleets nation-wide. "One of the fundamental ideas was to use an American-made car," Hauger says, "because the project aims at government fleets--and the government prefers American cars--and we wanted to promote green jobs in America."

Teens In Luck This Summer- Get to Work!
Managers who plan to hire hourly summer workers expect to add an average of 30 workers this year, up from 27 last year, according to a survey conducted on behalf of the job placement company Snagajob. The Ipsos survey of 1,005 seasonal hiring managers found that 68 percent plan to hire summer workers this year.
They should find plenty of willing applicants.
The unemployment rate for 16- to 19-year-olds was 25.1 percent in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That compares with 14.9 percent six years ago, in February 2007. The nation officially went into recession in December 2007, and the weak recovery began in June 2009.
The unemployment rate, which includes only people who are actively looking for a job, is seasonally adjusted to account for variations such as more teens employed in the summer.
The overall unemployment rate for all working Americans fell to 7.7 percent in February, the lowest level in four years, as the economy added 236,000 new jobs. The March unemployment report is due out Friday, and economists will be watching closely to see if the momentum in the job market continues.

The face tattoos of Myanmar's old Chin women [21 pictures]
Generations ago, tribes in the Chin province of Myanmar began to tattoo the faces of young women in order to mar them, so the king wouldn't come and steal them away as wives. After years of this practice, it became its own tradition, separate from its original intent. Eventually, the full facial tattoos became signs of beauty rather than the opposite.
The practice has been banned for several decades now, but many of the older generation of Chin women still bear the markings…
(images via National Post, The Daily Mail, Oddity Central, Myanmar, The Atlantic, Luis Unterleicher, Thai Medical News, Better Photo, Wikimedia, OMG, World Tourism Organization)
Josh S says: Well… this sure makes American tattoos seem more sensible, huh?
Paul says: "Generations ago, tribes in the Chin province of Myanmar began to tattoo the faces of young women in order to mar them, so the king wouldn't come and steal them away as wives."
So, no, it doesn't make American tattoos seem more sensible since these started as a tradition with a very practical purpose.
losey says: No. Unless one of those ladies has a symbol from a foreign language that is supposed to represent and element or emotion, no. Plus tribal doesn't mean two broken lines trying to look like barbed wired to these ladies.
Tina says: Show this to teenagers— they will no longer want tattoos or gauged ears.
Zoe says: LOL. You're probably right.
Stu says: I like them. I would like to have seen them on younger faces too to see how they interact with facial bone structures. Some of them have aged very nicely though. Much more beautiful than a typical, Western tattoo of barbed wire or a ladybug or whatever.
Valerie says: Me, too! Several of those women had amazing bone structure.
Antonio says: So punk. Gauges and face tattoos
zachl says: "it will always be burma to me" -J. Peterman
Rich says: You may also want to check out the Vietnam tribe that blackens their teeth. The Burmese Hill Tribe and Vietnamese Tribe have very unique cultural traditions that are completely opposite of what we consider in the west. Although, black teeth in England were a sign of richness at one time when sugar was reserved for only the wealthy.
Anna says: I think it looks pretty badass

Namtok Chet Sao Noi, Thailand
I've seen more than a few of Thailand's waterfalls. Some are disappointing, others live up to expectations, and still others surprise, but it will take something very special to upstage Chet Sao Noi waterfall north of the town of Muak Lek in the Khao Yai region as my favourite.

U.S. Cash for Clunkers Program shutting down (from CNN Money.com)
By clair | News
The "Cash for Clunkers" program ends Monday, August 24, 2009, providing almost $2 billion in rebates for older auto trade-ins.
"It's been a thrill to be part of the best economic news story in America," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Now we are working toward an orderly wind down of this very popular program."
Officials decided to wind down the program, which Congress passed to spur flagging auto sales, after determining that it would soon run out of money.
As of Thursday, the program has recorded more than 457,000 dealer transactions worth $1.9 billion in rebates

Early this year I gave my sister 4 subrotunda plants and you should see them they are a big wow and I mean big. Mine never look this good. Mine get full sun most of the day. Hers are in a molded concrete form maybe 3-4" deep if that on the east side and they mainly get only filtered sunlight since her neighbor has some tall trees. Im guessing she only gets full sun for a couple of hours at best. I can get photos of these for anyone interested if the cold doesnt get them first. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Definitely a shade-loving Salvia. In direct sun, flowers fall off after mid-day. Just like S. amarissima. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 20, 11 at 18:53
Robin Im aware of that now always thought it liked more sun. Theres not much shade around here unless I put them on the north side which is mostly shade but not good for viewing at all. I also noticed the same effect on lady in red at my sisters filtered light location . |
- Posted by hawkeye_wx z5 east-central IA (My Page) on Fri, Oct 21, 11 at 9:04
This was my first year growing subrotunda. The blooms did not last long in summer because they got a lot of hot, midday sun. Late summer into fall, however, with more shade, weaker sun, and cooler temps, the blooming was excellent throughout the day. I grew the two plants in the only open spot I had, so that's where they'll have to be again next year. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 13, 11 at 22:21
Im thinking the blooms only last a day so regardless. If I grow this plant next year it will be in shade or on the back side of home. Maybe the same for any s. coccinea plants. |

Need some opinions here. I'm pregnant so I may just be hormonal. I have some friends who started a catering business. I let them borrow a lot of my entertaining stuff in exchange for taking me to Dallas Market. So I called on Thursday, I know it was late notice, to see if they could take me. I haven't heard a thing from them and I know they aren't out of town. Next time they want to borrow some of my things should I charge a rental fee? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd try calling them again and see what their excuse was for not taking you to the market. Maybe they still plan on taking you just a different time and that this weekend didn't work for them. I don't know how big of a deal this market is...is it like 5 minutes away or 5 hours, how long would you stay there, etc? Coult they have thought they were the ones that get to decide when they to go, not you? I'm not really all that familiar with "tit for tat" favors. If you want to lend your friends stuff, I would lend it with no strings attached. And, they should offer to take you to the market with no strings attached too. Now, if your stuff is a big deal and not something you would normally lend out, and it would cost them a fortune to rent otherwise, then yes, you could charge them to rent the suff. It really just depends on your relationship and the stuff. I mean, are you taking about a couple silver platters and 3 bowls, or more like an entire wedding registry? I generally don't lend stuff that I would get upset about if I don't get back or would break. Try to keep friendship favors and business like deals with you friends separate. In fact, I'm not sure I'd mix business with plesure. Personally, I would probably choose either to lend the stuff with no strings attached or not lend the stuff at all. If they tend to take advantage of you and you find the friendship is one sided and ongoing, maybe consider some new friends. Although, I have a feeling they were just busy and that they still plan on taking you when it's more convenient for them. Be careful about your stuff though...what is the plan if something breaks? |
If they can't take you, for whatever reason, they should be upfront enough to let you know that fact, not hide and not return your message. |
- Posted by andreaintx (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 08 at 17:28
Thank you. I think I'm being hormonal |
I don't think you are being hormonal and I think you will be sorry that you lent anything out to be used in a business. That is especially true if they aren't considerate enough to return phone calls which are easier to do than polishing those candlesticks or whatever in order to return them to you. I have lovely large coffee pots, silver wine glasses, etc. and when I have loaned them I have to work at getting them back. Are people grateful? No, they are annoyed that you wanted them back even though they still wanted to use them. If you could afford to buy the stuff, they should--they need it for their business. There are cookware supply stores all over that sell to caterers and anything can be bought or rented,and it is pretty reasonable. |
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Wed, Jun 25, 08 at 8:05
I guess I don't understand why people loan out expensive kitchen equipment especially to people who seem off put when you want the stuff back. What kine of people are you loaning your equipment to and why do you seem to think this is something you want to do? Regarding the OP for whom I answered another question, she thinks she is hormonal because she wants her stuff back and then wants trips to the market presumably to buy new stuff. The people who need to go to the market are the folks to whom she "lent" her stuff. Then again there's the old saw about the best way to lose a friend is to lend them money, or in this case, expensive kitchen equipment. |
I'm confused, I see no mention of her not getting her stuff back in a timely fashion... was that on another post? That's another whole issue. I thought the OP was just mad that they didn't take her to the market or call her back when she called to see if they could take her to the market. |
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Wed, Jun 25, 08 at 13:13
First, I was responding to Marge 727, and yes I answered another post from the OP about where she could buy kitchen equipment. I'm a guy with all kinds of power tools. I use them all the time. It would be like loaning my tools to some guy that wanted to set up a cabinet shop and then asking where I can buy tools. |
- Posted by andreaintx (My Page) on Wed, Jun 25, 08 at 13:59
Seriously I think I was just being hormonal. I'm 7 months pregnant with an almost 3 yr. old who is challenging. Here is what happened. I lent out a bunch of expensive equipment including some of my grandmother's silver to some friends to cater a wedding. I DID get it back. They said for letting them borrow my stuff so they didn't have to go and rent things, they would take me to Dallas Market as payment if you will. Kind of a hey thanks for doing this for us, we'll take you to market, deal. Great, cool. I was asked to host a baby celebration on Wednesday which includes a buffet where I will be making most of the food for cost reasons because I only have $300 for it. There are some serving pieces that I still need and that is why I called them to see if they were going to Market and if so, would they mind taking me. I never heard back after calls and emails. I ended up buying a couple things online and texasredhead told me of a place to look for the other things which I appreciate a lot. (BTW texasredhead have you been to Lone Star-Rush Restaurant Supply and if so, what did you think? I mainly just need the wood squares and triangles and was going to check them and Ace out to see if they have them.) I was just frustrated because I never heard back. That is all. I hope that clears some things up. I don't think I would have gotten so upset or really cared if I didn't have a baby celebration to cater at the end of July and Market was on the week that I called them. Thank you all for your responses I've really appreciated them and would like to close this thread. texasredhead, would you respond on my other post about Rush. Thank you!! |
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Wed, Jun 25, 08 at 18:10
Sorry. I thought you were haveing a problem getting your stuff back. Marge 727 is another story. Not familiar with Lone Star-Rush. Have bought a commercial electric stove and steam trays at Ace for our church. |

Daniel Roger Anderson OCW, MOF, MOO, SCP. (born 18 June 1994) is a politician and Premier of the Federal Commonwealth of Sirocco. He is the first to hold this position and has held it since he founded the nation on 4 November 2010. He is also notable for being the founder and Glorious Dictator-for-Life of the (now defunct) Glorious Dictatorial Republic of Andersonia. He decided to found Sirocco after being inspired the micronations of Sealand, Hutt River Province, Molossia, St.Charlie, A1, Zealandia and Austenasia.
As well as holding the office of Siroccan Premier, he is the current President of the Siroccan Federal Party, and in addition to this he also holds the position of Minister of Broadcasting and is also Commander of the Siroccan Defence Forces. He has also been a General in the Royal Zealandian Army Foreign Legion until he renounced his Zealandian citizenship on 13 December 2011.
Early life
Anderson was born in Northland, New Zealand on 18 June 1994. He attended a nearby kindergarten in the late 1990s where he became immortalised as only the second child to attend that could read and write prior to beginning attendance (to which he credits power lines, petrol stations and road signs).
He began attending primary school in 1999, and by his graduation in 2006 had been recognised as one of the school's star students, claiming many achievements over his eight years there. However he makes no secret of the fact he did not enjoy his time there.
Maran and Peebles
It was during his second year at high school that the Glorious Dictatorial Republic (GDR) was founded, and enjoyed much flourishing under his near two-year leadership, however during 2010 he became aware of the concept of micronations. After much research he decided to go ahead with the formation of one, announcing on 30 August 2010, the formation of a micronation sixty-four days hence. Realising the difficulty operating both a new micronation and the GDR (which only existed on the internet), he decided to dissolve the GDR on 3 November 2010, the eve of its second anniversary.Sirocco
Premier Anderson began his term as Siroccan Premier on 4 November 2010. Under the Siroccan Constitution he is not bound by time or term constraints and may serve for as long as he sees fit or until his death. He legally maintains absolute power over Sirocco.
He is seen by some as a "good person" within the community, and was surprised to learn of Sirocco's placement as the fourteenth most influential micronation[1] (out of twenty-five candidates) in a 2011 survey despite the nation being just under two months old.
Political views
A staunch anti-communist, Anderson leads the conservative Siroccan Federal Party.
Personal life
Anderson exercises a keen interest in cartography, photography, 20th-century history, highway and electrical infrastructure, 1990s computing and Microsoft Windows. He does not see himself as an environmentalist but does undertake some actions such as turning off lights and conserving water where he can.Anderson's first language is English, but he is also proficient in Siroccan. He used to speak some Māori, but admits he forgot most of it just after his studies in the language ceased. For a time he was interested in learning the guitar, before losing interest owing to broken strings. He is, however, somewhat interested in resuming learning this instrument.
He supports the Cancer Society, the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, the Returned Servicemens Association and the SPCA, and will happily donate to these causes.
Anderson is a staunch anti-Communist and is widely known within the MicroWiki community for his opposition to socialist organisations and micronations.

Synesius, A Eulogy of Baldness 16 |
Mosaic depicting an angel. Museum of Ptolemais |
of Cyrene (c.370-c.413) was a Neo-Platonic
philosopher who became bishop of Ptolemais
in the Cyrenaica.
He left behind a small corpus of texts that offer much information
about daily life in Late Antiquity, about the
of the Roman world, and the military crisis at the beginning of the
fifth century. The Eulogy of Baldness shows a lighter side of Synesius, who had a reputation as a sophist. In this text, he defends his baldness against the speech In Praise of Hair by the sophist-philosopher Dio Chrysostom. The text is offered here in the translation by A. Fitzgerald. The green four-digit numbers are page numbers of the Migne edition.
[1193] A Macedonian with hair unusually long and a thick drooping beard, was attacking a Persian, but the Persian, although in danger, with excellent judgment drops the well-known oblong shield and spears from his hands, as insufficient for coping with the Macedonian. He then charges him, and contriving to slip in under his enemy's guard, seizes him by the beard and hair, and thus throws the soldier, who had not struck a blow, to the ground, drawing him to himself by the hair like a fish, and once fallen slays him with his drawn scimitar. Some other Persian also saw this, and another and another, and soon they were all throwing away their shields, and in full pursuit of the enemy through the plain, where one would catch one man buy his hair, and another, another; for it now passed through the Persian army like a signal that these troops could be captured by their hair, and no one probably of Alexander's phalanx stood his ground except that portion which was bald. [1196] Meantime the king was in sore straits, exposed to unarmed men, against whom when fully armed his army was irresistible. As it was, Alexander might have been compelled to retreat to Cilicia in disgrace, and to become the laughing-stock of the Greeks, as one who had been defeated in a battle of the hair! But as matters were (for it was already destined that the Heraclids should deprive the Achaemenids of their scepters), speedily understanding the danger, he orders the trumpets to sound the retreat, and when he has led his army as far away as possible, and has placed it in a good position, he lets loose the barbers upon it, and induced by the gifts of the king, they shaved the Macedonians en masse.
