Politicians face confusing but critical task of winning over India's young voters
By: Katherine Davis, Chhaya Nene, Rosalie Murphy and Kaysie Ellingson
Samyak Chakrabarty spent the past six months helping 40,000 '20-something' Indians register to vote. But he's not stopping there."If young people don't join politics, then nothing will change," Chakrabarty said.
Chakrabarty, 25, organizes social events and casual town-hall meetings to connect politicians with young people through his "Operation Black Dot" youth empowerment campaign. He's eager to get his peers involved with politics. But this election season, he's seen politicians push their own outreach to India's youth. And it's no wonder why as more than 65 percent of India's 1.2 billion people are younger than 35, according to Census data, and nearly 20 percent of the population will be first-time voters in this election.
India is one of the youngest nations in the world, and the first-time voter has strong opinions to express at the polls. A recent Pew Global Attitudes survey shows about 70 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds are dissatisfied with the state of Indian politics for a variety of reasons.
Sneha Gomes, a 25-year-old from Mumbai, is among the disenchanted. "How many public toilets do you see in Mumbai that people can use?" she said, "It's not there. You will not find benches or anything like that—basic things. I don't see any party that is doing that right now be it Congress or BJP. And the AAP—they have no experience."
Gomes's dislike for India's leading political parties has led her to not vote. That frustrates Chakrabarty, who said it's a common response by many 20-somethings.
"I met a lot of young people. When I asked them, 'why won't you vote in politics' they said, 'Nothing will happen.'
Chakrabarty wholeheartedly believes his generation can change things and the numbers agree. Many analysts have said that the country's youngsters could be the deciding group in this year's elections. That is, if they vote as a bloc.
While surveys like Pew's may give some sense of trends among young Indians, the demographic can be a confusing group when it comes to political and social opinions.
Simpreet Singh, a Mumbai social activist and Ph.D. candidate with the Tata Institute for Social Sciences, explained, "I see young people getting more progressive and holding onto their tradition." While more young Indians take on IT jobs, move into apartments on their own and take on more Western lifestyles and liberal social values, they are also adopting Hindu nationalism, rooted deeply in conservative tradition. "These are two contradictory things happening at the same time," he explained.
That leaves politicians with a difficult task when wooing young voters.
India's ruling party, the Indian National Congress, has natural appeal for some young voters. At 43, Rahul Gandhi, the party's leader, is a relatively young face in the political sphere. He also heads up the party's Indian Youth Congress and National continued…

There is currently an epidemic of 'affluenza' throughout the world - an obsessive, envious, keeping-up-with-the-Joneses - that has resulted in huge increases in depression and anxiety among millions. Over a nine-month period, bestselling author Oliver James travelled around the world to try and find out why. He discovered how, despite very different cultures and levels of wealth, affluenza is spreading. Cities he visited include Sydney, Singapore, Moscow, Copenhagen, New York and Shanghai, and in each place he interviewed several groups of people in the hope of finding out not only why this is happening, but also how one can increase the strength of one's emotional immune system. He asks: why do so many more people want what they haven't got and want to be someone they're not, despite being richer and freer from traditional restraints? And, in so doing, uncovers the answer to how to reconnect with what really matters and learn to value what you've already got. In other words, how to be successful and stay sane.
What the papers say:
"Oliver James is excellent at showing why social scientists think that the surge in material affluence can produce the opposite of happiness." -- Avner Offer, Professor of Economic History, University of Oxford "Should be mandatory reading for everyone" -- Will Self "Never before have I read a book that so precisely captures the way we are all being emotionally snookered by the demands of 21st-century living... read this book" -- Jeremy Vine "A wonderfully clear and cogent thesis" Guardian "An absorbing and effective wake-up call" London Lite
Author's Biography:
Oliver James trained and practised as a child clinical psychologist and, since 1987, has worked as a writer, journalist and television documentary producer and presenter. His books include Juvenile Violence in a Winner-Loser Culture, the bestselling They F*** You Up and Britain on the Couch, which was also a successful documentary series for Channel 4. He is a trustee of two children's charities: the National Family and Parenting Institute and Homestart.

assess the status of psychosocial interventions in the context of contemporary breast cancer care,
assess the status of professional education and training and applied clinical and health services research, and
propose policies to improve the quality of care and quality of life for women with breast cancer and their families.1
Individuals with cancer may have cancer-specific concerns, such as fear of cancer recurrence, and generalized symptoms such as worry, trouble sleeping, fatigue, and anxiety about going to the doctor. Underlying mental illness may also be exacerbated by the experience of being diagnosed with cancer or living with the disease. To capture the broad range of concerns of individuals with cancer, the Board, in this report, has relied on the definition of "psychosocial distress" from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. "We have defined 'distress' as it applies to cancer, as follows. Distress is an unpleasant experience of an emotional, psychological, social, or spiritual nature that interferes with the ability to cope with cancer treatment. It extends along a continuum, from common normal feelings of vulnerability, sadness, and fears to problems that are disabling, such as true depression, anxiety, panic, and feeling isolated or in a spiritual crisis" (NCCN, 1999:114).
The National Cancer Policy Board (the Board) was established in March 1997 at the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and National Research Council with core support from the NCI and CDC to address issues that arise in the prevention, control, diagnosis, treatment, and palliation of cancer. The 20-member board includes health-care consumers, providers, and investigators in several disciplines (see membership roster). This report is one of three reports that comprise a Board initiative to address issues of concern for cancer survivors, with an emphasis on what happens following the primary treatment of cancer.

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Blessed is the man, that goeth not in the counsel of wicked men; and stood not in the way of sinners, and sat not in the chair of pestilence. (Happy is the person, who goeth not in the counsel of the wicked; and walketh not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the chair of pestilence.) | 1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. |
2 But his will is in the law of the Lord; and he shall bethink in the law of him day and night. (But his delight is in the Law of the Lord; and he shall think about his Law day and night.) | 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. |
3 And he shall be as a tree, which is planted beside the runnings of waters; that shall give his fruit in his time. And his leaf shall not fall down; and all things, whichever he shall do, shall have prosperity. (And he shall be like a tree, which is planted beside the running water; it shall give its fruit at its proper time, and its leaves shall not fall down. Yea, everything, whatever he shall do, shall prosper.) | 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. |
4 Not so wicked men, not so; but they be as dust, which the wind casteth away from the face of the earth. (Not so the wicked, not so; but they be like the dust, which the wind bloweth away from off the face of the earth.) | 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. |
5 Therefore wicked men rise not again in doom; neither sinners in the council of just men [nor (the) sinful in the council of (the) rightwise]. (And so the wicked shall not stand long at the judgement; nor shall the sinners stand with the congregation of the righteous.) | 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. |
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of just men [For the Lord hath known the way of the rightwise]; and the way of wicked men shall perish. (For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous; but the wicked shall perish on their own way.) | 6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. |

by emmagsachs (1024119) Alter Relationship on Sunday February 09, 2014 @12:58PM(#46205013)
I have visited this website on a near-daily basis for over a decade. I have greatly benefited from its community, whether +5 Insightful or -1 Troll. It thus saddens me to watch Slashdot be changed into a bland, cookie-cutter news site, a la the present incarnations of Engadget and Digg. I am perhaps in the minority in this, but I kindly urge you to read this post, and others like it, and to consider joining the week-long Slashcott [slashcott.com] that begins on Feb 10th.
I realize that posting off-topic comments such as this is disrupting the Slashdot experience for many of you, and I do apologize for it. But can you honestly say that the new Beta interface does not already disrupt Slashdot for all of us? These anti-Beta posts can quite rightly be viewed as "a series of shock slogans and mindless token tantrums", to borrow a phrase, but since we feel that we are ignored by Dice, this is the best that I, like many other slashdotters, could come up with.
What company directs 25% of its users to a partially-working, not-ready-for-production website? Please realize that Beta will not have the features that we want, because they interfere with Dice's plans for Slashdot. Dice presents Slashdot to their advertisers as a "Social Media for B2B Technology" [slashdotmedia.com] platform. B2B - that's the reason Beta looks like a generic wordpress-based news site. To be sure, a large precentage of Slashdotters work in IT, but Slashdot is most certainly not a B2B site.
Nevertheless, Dice is desperate to make money off of Slashdot, even at the cost of losing much of its current userbase. Turning Slashdot into a social platform for IT "decision makers" is a Haily Mary attempt to recoup the failed investment Dice made in buying Slashdot. As they have revealed in a press release [diceholdingsinc.com] detailing their performance in 2013, this acquisition has not lived up to their financial expectations:
Slashdot Media was acquired to provide content and services that are important to technology professionals in their everyday work lives and to leverage that reach into the global technology community benefiting user engagement on the Dice.com site. The expected benefits have started to be realized at Dice.com. However, advertising revenue has declined over the past year and there is no improvement expected in the future financial performance of Slashdot Media's underlying advertising business. Therefore, $7.2 million of intangible assets and $6.3 million of goodwill related to Slashdot Media were reduced to zero.
The new Beta interface is not the result of a superficial makeover. Keeping in mind that Dice felt confident enough to present it as the new face of Slashdot to 25% of its visitors, it is safe to say that the new commenting and moderation system is exactly how they intended it to be. It is a new design that deliberately cripples the one thing that makes Slashdot what it is today, viz. thebest commenting and moderation system online today. From the users' perspective, there is nothing wrong with Slashdot that demands gutting its foundations and dumping the one part of Slashdot we exactly like. As others have commented, this is an attempt to monetize
This is why they ignore the detailed feedback we have given them in the months since Beta was first revealed. This is also why they now disregard our grievances and complaints. Their claims of hearing us are a deliberate snow job. It is only pretense, since at the same time they openly admit that Classic will be cancelled soon [slashdot.org]:
"Most importantly, we want you to know that Classic Slashdot isn't going away until we're confident that the new site is ready.
There is a reason [slashdotmedia.com] why "News for Nerds, stuff that matters" no longer appears in the header:
Slashdot Media's brands include Slashdot and SourceForge. These technology sites provide access to tools, software and forums for enterprise IT professionals working in all industries and companies from the world's largest to small and medium-sized firms. Slashdot and SourceForge harness the power of social that no other tech site can compete with.
Slashdot Media provides its partners with proven integrated media strategies to effectively influence technology buyers. With over 15 years experience working with the largest and most engaged professional technology communities, Slashdot Media's expert staff continues to contribute to the success of its partners branding, demand generation, and social media marketing programs.
Don't hold your breath waiting for Dice to fix Beta. Their vision of Slashdot is a crippled shadow of the site as it is today. Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes. Dice doesn't need us. And If you do decide to boycott

Although - and I wish I was making this up - several CBC Radio news podcasts are not available for two weeks because the newscasts would have Sochi content, and presumably someone else has Sochi content podcast rights
I can't for the life of me see why anyone would consider two weeks of McDonalds and Pepsi sponsored multinational corporate sporty entertainment should be a basic human right. Sochi has nothing to do with sport, or the sort of high ideals that we claim that sports represents.
It's strictly a great way for lots of particularity nasty people to make a lot of money - much of it out of taxpayer pockets.
Oh - and this just in from the Vancouver O-Games: all of those claims about a bright economic outlook coming from the Games: Pure and utter bullshit.
Density is good. Text is good. (2219 comments)
OK, I skipped the last 150 comments, so maybe this has been said already.
I grew up reading text on paper. That's how I can intake and process information most efficiently. And that's why the web sites that I read regularly, and in which I participate, present information in much the same way as a printed page.
Aside from these basic and to my mind blindingly obvious design concerns, I'll add a couple of things. I haven't spent more than five minutes with the beta because it was so immediately not what I need or want, but I have been reading the comments here.
Finally, I'll remind people that there was a time when Byte was THE magazine for anyone involved in computers. It became Byte the web site, but carried over a lot of the same content and contributors.
Then, in the misguided quest for the almighty dollar the owners managed to kill it off entirely. It was a great loss.
Dice would be very foolish if they think that they can't manage to do the same to Slashdot.

"Classic?" Or Just Uniform (503 comments)
When I look at all of the major variants mentioned - Gnome, KDE, Windows, Apple - I honestly don't see any great difference.
All of them offer:
- A desktop
- some kind of task bar (top, bottom, left, right - doesn't really matter)
- some form of menus for getting to stuff
- some kind of file manager application
There may be some things that are very different from one to the other (Lord knows that when I switched to a Mac I found some of their choices thoroughly obscure) but in the big picture most desktop systems are similar enough that Joe User can go to one or the other and figure out how to check his Yahoo mail account without problems.
As for why the GNOME variations seem to be prevalent? It's because some form of GNOME desktop was included as the default for the first widely popular "works out of the box" distros - Ubuntu, and Mint. the Son of Ubuntu.
People didn't install Ubuntu/Mint because of GNOME; they installed GNOME because it came along with Ubuntu/Mint. And 95% of those Linux users won't muck about and try different desktop systems because what they have just works.

Re:NASA: incredible past, dubious future? (51 comments)
spending money on space exploration is a money pit, a drain on national coffers and more productive endeavors
I'll assume that's a troll, but will say "bullshit" nonetheless. The US space program was a key driver in 60s and 70s technological development, and the spin-offs from that investment are pretty much incalculable.
Of course in the current brain dead, uneducated, backwoods American political environment anything that smacks of "science" is considered evil and untrustworthy. (Canada too.)
My prediction is that the Chinese will turn that investment in space into a couple of decades of profit and growth, and will do what the Americans never did - establish a toe-hold on at least the moon and turn that into a money maker and a prestigious accomplishment.

Polls close in crucial Massachusetts Senate race
20 Jan 2010 01:00:25 GMT
BOSTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Polls closed in a tight Massachusetts race for
the U.S. Senate on Tuesday that could threaten passage of President Barack
Obama's legislative agenda and scuttle his push for a sweeping healthcare
What once looked likely to be an easy Democratic victory has turned into a
desperate scramble after a surge by the Republican, state Senator Scott
Brown, over the past few weeks in the race for the late liberal Democratic
icon Edward Kennedy's old seat.
There were no immediate results, and given the expected close tally the
final outcome could take hours to emerge.
The latest opinion polls suggest Brown could defeat Democratic state
Attorney General Martha Coakley, robbing Democrats of the 60th Senate vote
they need to overcome Republican procedural hurdles.
Voter worries about the economy and healthcare reform have helped Brown,
and Obama made a visit to the state on Sunday to try to ignite enthusiasm
for Coakley.
In Washington, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said the president did not
believe healthcare reform would fail if Coakley loses. But Obama is "both
surprised and frustrated" and "not pleased" by the closeness of the
Massachusetts race, Gibbs said.
Reflecting Wall Street's expectations for healthcare reform, investors
drove health insurance and drug company shares higher, betting a Brown
victory would at least slow Obama's healthcare plans.
Hospital companies, which may gain more insured customers under health
reform, saw their shares slump.
"If Brown wins, it is our view that Obamacare will not pass Congress,"
Avik Roy, a healthcare analyst with Monnes Crespi Hardt, said in a
research note.
The Morgan Stanley Healthcare Payor Index <.HMO> and the AMEX
Pharmaceutical index <.DRG> outperformed the broader market, rising 2.3
percent and 2.0 percent, respectively. [nN19231270]
Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin said he was bracing for
voting levels similar to that of a regular state election given the
intense interest in the race.
That view was borne out as voters braved drizzle and light snow to get to
the ballot box. Local media reported long lines at some polling places.
High turnout could benefit the more energized Brown campaign, even though
registered Democrats in Massachusetts hold a sizable numerical advantage.
Kennedy, who held the seat for almost 47 years, died in August of brain
cancer. Democrat Paul Kirk was appointed by the state's governor in
September to occupy Kennedy's seat and will remain in the Senate until a
winner is sworn in.
Massachusetts last elected a Republican to the Senate in 1972, but the
weak economy and doubts about the healthcare overhaul have moved voters to
abandon political loyalties.
Their possible change of heart could not have come at a more crucial
juncture for Obama.
Democrats now control 60 votes in the Senate to 40 for the Republicans.
The loss of one seat could hamper the Democrats' ability to cut off debate
and proceed to a final vote on the planned healthcare overhaul. Brown has
promised to be the Republican's 41st vote to kill healthcare legislation.
More broadly, an upset in Massachusetts, or even a narrow win for Coakley,
would raise the specter of large losses for Democrats in congressional
elections in November.
The Republican has attracted strong support from independent voters,
including many who backed Obama in 2008.
"There's an anger, a frustration that's being felt in Massachusetts," said
James Gomes, director of the Mosakowski Institute for Public Enterprise at
Clark University in Massachusetts.
A number of polls over the past week have shown Brown edging ahead,
although mostly within the margin of error for each survey. The
nonpartisan Cook Political Report judged the race a toss-up.
In Washington, House of Representatives Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer said
he expected Coakley to win but he understood why voters were unhappy.
"It's a tough time to have a special election because people are angry,"
he said.
Millions of dollars have flooded into the state to buy nonstop television
advertising for both sides, transforming a relatively sleepy contest into
a bitter brawl.
Coakley has been criticized for a lackluster campaign. She took almost a
week off from the campaign trail around Christmas, at a time when Brown's
appeal was on the rise. (Editing by Peter Cooney)

The Pros And Cons Of Releasing A 'Surprise' Album
CON: In order to keep a surprise album a surprise, artists can't let many people hear it. That can be considered a good thing (the old "too many chefs in the kitchen" cliché applies to a lot of albums these days). But it can also be bad. Because if an album isn't as good as it should be, the artist doesn't have anyone there to tell them that they need to make improvements to it.

Does anyone have a low point, real (from scratch) pizza dough recipe they'd like to share? I'm looking for the real thing not pita bread or other substitutes for pizza dough.
Pizza and Pasta - pizza doughView Full Version : pizza dough alaa 05-21-2001, 02:57 AM Does anyone have a low point, real (from scratch) pizza dough recipe they'd like to share? I'm looking for the real thing not pita bread or other substitutes for pizza dough. Thanks. Best, Alyson christineu 05-23-2001, 12:28 AM I haven't tried this as a pizza dough yet- I make it as a flat bread and in quick sour dough want-a-bee rolls/loaves all the time. From my experince making the flat bread it would be a great pizza crust- the sour dough texture is unique and tastey- also makes great crutons for salad. You may want to try it as a bread first before making into pizza. I will put a plug for my favorite pizza crust find- Flatout Bread- it is a new one here in Michigan (hope they go national soon)- each peice of bread is 7X11 inches (1/4 inch thick)- I get the italian herb flavor. 1 whole one has 3 points- that with some sauce, mushrooms, and an ounce of sheese and I am all set. A package of 5 is like $2.25 so they are even affordable. THey are putting together a web site- I will post it if they even really get it going-lol. Here is the bread/roll recipe I love- total points 22 (using 8 points per cup of flour)-(would make about 2 9X13 inch pizza doughs- pretty much fat free, could up the fiber with use of whole wheat flour for part of the flour): ~2/3 cup lukewarm water ~1 Tablespoon sugar (this is to feed the yeast- very important to use) ~1 pkg yeast ~2/3 cup skim milk- also lukewarm (110-120 degrees if you have to be exact) ~1/2 teaspoon salt ~1/4 teaspoon baking soda ~ 2 1/2 cups flour (may need to use less if you use regular versus bread flour) Mix water, sugar, & yeast, set aside (should see activity wiht the yeast- if not, your yeast may be too old, water not at correct tempurature, etc). Disslove bakign soda in the warm milk, add salt, and 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat until fairly smooth. Mix in yeast mixture and remaining flour. Dough will be thick and sticky, but smooth at the same time- it will not be like typical bread dough. For flat bread- I stir in spices to taste, hand flatten dough to 1/2-3/4 inch thick on 2 cookies sheet lightly brushed with olive oil, brush top with olive oil, sprinkle with parmaseon cheese and bake with only allowing 10-15 minutes of time to raise (if it raises too much, I hand flatten). Bake at 375 for 12-18 minutes. I would think you could do the same basic thing for pizza dough, minus the spices and other toppings (though the olive oil can be a good addition for pizza too). You may want to have some corn flour on the pan when you spread out the dough (I am allegic to corn so it is out for me). For rolls/bread- shape according to product on cookie sheet/pie pan lighty sprayed with Pam/olive oil- allow room for rolls/loaves to spread slightly(makes 2 small round loaves or several sandwhich rolls- may need to adjust baking time accordingly- listed for 2 loaves), cover, let rise for 45-60 minutes in a warm, moist location. Spray top of dough with Pam or brush with olive oil. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes (lightly browned). Spray or brush again upon removal from oven to soften crust. Allow to cool. Let me know what you think of it~ Christine elc 05-24-2001, 12:49 PM Hi Christine, I live in Michigan and I would like to know where you purchased the flatout bread. It sounds great!! christineu 05-24-2001, 04:04 PM I had been finding it at the deli at one Lansing Meijer store but I went yesterday and they were out :( I will have to find a package and look for the phone number- here it is....no phone but here is the name and address of the manufacture: Delections (food with attitude) 719 Ellsworth Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48108. Called info for the phone number: 734-662-7701- looks liek they are more on the east side of the state but they are going to call me back with more info after they talk to their Lansing distributor. He also said they just did a big thing with WW in Ann Arbor- at 2 points per serving it is a bargin. Here is the nutritional info for the orriginal flavor: 1/2 half of a flatbread (still a good sized piece) cal: 120, fat 2 gr, fiber: 1 gr, sodium: 240, protien 5 grams. It was $2.29 for a package of 5 flatbreads (10 servings) I am actually enjoying 1/2 of a flat bread pizza right now- YUM! Christine elc 05-24-2001, 04:50 PM Looks like I will be hitting all of the Meijer's stores in my area tomorrow. I live on the east-side of Michigan about 50 minutes from Ann Arbor so maybe I'm in luck. I love the pansy! christineu 05-24-2001, 11:06 PM I go to physical therapy just north of Howell so if you find them near there (and don't buy every last package) let me know. I found them in the Deli @ Meijer- watch it if it is right in front of the hot case- then it gets 'steamed' from all the heat and moisture (can you tell I was a former deli clerk-lol). If they do have it in front of the hot case, take the packages on the bottom. I couldn't find it today at the store they recomended- hopefully they will be getting it in soon. I did buy some fresh made middle eastern pitas- so much different then the presservative filled ones I use to get. These are made in Rosevault MI. !20 calories, 0 fat, 1 gram fiber. Ingrediants I can read (flour, water, sugar, salt, yeast). Another great 2 point find....now I just have to wait for my chickpeas to finish softening to make some garlic hummus- yummy! elc 05-25-2001, 03:54 PM Thanks Christine for the tip. I was abe to find them at the local Meijers in St. Clair Shores. They only had the original flavor and I made a pizza with half for my lunch. It was very good. I don't live anywhere near Howell so you are safe.LOL Again, thank you. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

If they itemized every piece of every tier perfectly from the start you wouldn't be motivated to get the next tier when it comes out." While I didn't and still don't completely agree with the sentiment, I think his observation explains why the situation is like it is.

Zoë Heller
Zoë Kate Hinde Heller (born 7 July 1965) is an English journalist and novelist.
Early life[edit]
Heller was born in St Pancras, North London, as the youngest of four children of Caroline (née Carter) and Lukas Heller, a successful screenwriter. Her father was a German Jewish immigrant and her mother was English and a Quaker.[1][2][3] Her brother is screenwriter Bruno Heller. She attended Haverstock School in the same year as David Miliband and then studied English at St Anne's College, Oxford, before going on to Columbia University, New York where she received an MA in 1988.
Heller began her career in journalism, as a feature writer for the Independent on Sunday in the UK. She later returned to New York to write for Vanity Fair and then The New Yorker. She also wrote a weekly column for the Sunday Times magazine in the UK,[4] and was a columnist for the Daily Telegraph, for which she won the British Press Awards' "Columnist of the Year" in 2002.[5] She currently lives in New York City.
She has also been involved in the film industry, co-writing the screenplay for the 1991 independent film, Twenty-One.
Heller has published three novels, Everything You Know (1999), Notes on a Scandal (2003), which was one of six books shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2003 and made into a film in 2006, and The Believers (2008).
In 2009, she donated the short story "What She Did On Her Summer Vacation" to Oxfam's 'Ox-Tales' project, four collections of UK stories written by 38 authors. Her story was published in the 'Water' collection.[6]
Personal life[edit]
Zoë Heller now lives in New York with her two daughters Frankie and Lula.

Ok, so chickens technically are not plants. However, mine live in the garden, eat bugs, trim the grass and provide me with natural fertilizer, so I consider them garden-related! (They also ate my thyme.)
I have 4 purebred black Ameraucana chicks for sale. These little guys are just a few days old and still in the adorable chick stage. The hens will lay beautiful sky blue eggs. I bought the fertile eggs from a reputable breeder with a beautiful flock. They come from a blue/black/splash flock. I am asking $5 a chick. Cash only, pickup only in Arlington, TX. 9728904592, or email from here. Thanks so much! -Julie |
Follow-Up Postings:
This round of chicks is sold. But if you want some, I've got an incubator going, and I'm about to add Ameraucanas plus some cute bantams - cochins, silkies, cochin/silkie crosses, and maybe some frizzles or Ameraucana bantams! I have high hopes I will get a splash frizzle Ameraucana, who will make the world explode in a cuteness overload. |

My chicken envy is in full bloom! One of these days I too will have chickens. Tally HO! |
Beachplant, chickens are easy! Check out Backyard Chickens; they're a great site! I have 4 in my tiny backyard and they're just spiffy. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Backyard Chickens
I officially have more chicks! So far 1 Turken, 2 might-be-frizzled Cochins, and 2 Silkies. |

Mommyfox , could you use another incubator? I was gifted one about 7 yrs ago and I never even tried it out. I was raising chickens at the time but gave it up because my chickens developed a mite problem that was overwhelming.When the man gave the incubator to me he said it worked fine. It has been sitting in my barn ever since. I would happily "re-gift it" if you are interested. If so, and if you are coming to the Ft.Worth Swap let me know and I load it up and tote it to ya. Or e-mail me and we can work something else out. Billy |
Heck yeah I want a free incubator! Can I trade you something for it? A salvia? Some artemisia? A rooster? Ha! Call it 7 years storage fee ... :-) |
- Posted by muddauber7 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 20, 09 at 16:37
Mommyfox (sorry.. typing Mommyfox makes me giggle...) I Will bring the incubator Saturday. I will blow it out with the air compressor but cleaning or paint is on you. :-p I have plenty of salvia, don't much care for artemisia,...a rooster...? Now that might be a trip! I wonder how he'd get along with my pack of chihauhau's? If he was a really "cocky" rooster, that might turn into one heckuva meet and greet. hehehehe But I better say thank ya anyway, it's probably not a good idea. I would be satisfied knowing it was being used for something other a place to pile stuff. It really needs a home. Billy |
- Posted by beachplant 9b (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Oct 20, 09 at 17:44
Mother Earth had a great article this year too on them. Thanks for the link. Hopefully by next year I'll have a couple of my own chickies. Now to decide which ones! Tally HO! Will trade rooster for incubator. THAT's going to be an interesting swap. :) |
- Posted by muddauber7 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 22, 09 at 19:32
Mommyfox, I tried to call you today. I blew out the incubator and cleaned it up some. (It has been sitting in my barn for 7 years after all.:-) ) Anyway, I plugged it in and ran it for 5 hours. It seems to be working fine. I also have a couple of waterers for chickens and a feeder or two that I can no longer use. I hope you don't mind me unloading my junk on you, but you aren't obligated to accept what you can't use. They may still make good and unusual planters. See ya Sat. Billy |
Sorry I missed your call; I was out of the house most of the day. I'm sure I can find a use for the feeder and waterers! If I can't use it I am sure one of my "chicken friends" can! Thank you again. See you Saturday! -Julie |

I debated on buying these "things" for my 5 year old. However she was all smiles when she opened the bag. The first time she wore them to school she had compliment after compliment about the 'things' on her feet. They are quite the conversation piece and she is proud to wear them. I would be wary if your child plays in playgrounds with woodchips. It did not mess up the shoes we just had to pick the pieces out. It was a little bit time consuming but lesson learned.

Calculated Risk makes a good catch on a MarketWatch rewrite of a rewrite of a German newspaper story reporting that UBS and Credit Suisse are likely to have to raise $68 billion in new capital. By our math, our post makes this information at least fifth-hand..
OK, I'm excerpting from a MarketWatch story quoting a summary by Agence-France Presse of an article in Sonntag quoting a Swiss parliamentarian. I'm sure all the details are correct!

Hi again! I'm having quite a time trying to make a bootable cd. Come to find out my cd drive will not write. I downloaded a zip file to update the drive but now I can't seem to install it where it needs to go. In terminal I type 'sudo apt-get install cdrom.inf' which is what the file is named. It responds 'E: Unable to locate package cdrom.inf E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'cdrom.inf' Any help is appreciated! Thanks! |

I don't have an answer but would like to ask a couple questions. (1) You say the cd drive will not write. Will it read? (2) If it neither reads nor writes, is the kernel detecting the drive? Use the dmesg command on this page. (Sorry, this forum won't let me post a vertical bar) (3) If it reads but doesn't write, Is it even capable of writing? cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info Note: When interpreting the results, "1" means "yes", "0" means "no". (4) In any event, you seem to be trying to install a Windows driver (.inf) on a Linux system. Was Linux unable to provide a suitable driver? If not, what are you using that allows Linux to make use the Windows driver? "ndiswrapper" perhaps? If so (and only if so) you might want to try: sudo ndiswrapper -i cdrom.inf Sorry, if it's not something simple, I probably can't help. |

Yes it reads. I installed this version of ubuntu on it,and I can view a photo disc. Disk utility shows it but has a dash beside write cache. K3B shows it,but says error beside write. cat/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info: drive name: sr0 drive speed: 52 drive # of slots: 1 Can close tray: 1 Can open tray: 1 Can lock tray: 1 Can change speed: 1 Can select disk: 0 Can read multisession: 1 Can read MCN: 1 Reports media changed: 1 Can play audio: 1 Can write CD-R: 0 Can write CD-RW: 0 Can read DVD: 0 Can write DVD-R: 0 Can write DVD-RAM: 0 Can read MRW: 1 Can write MRW: 1 Can write RAM: 1 no ndiswrapper |

Does this mean no way of making it write? Run "wodim --devices" for details. |
- Posted by chuggerguy (My Page) on Sun, Jun 30, 13 at 12:36
Hi kaijutokusatsu. Yeah, that's what I'm seeing. It's a "CD-ROM" drive and is only capable of reading. |

Yeah...I feel stupid. Oh well. Back to the drawing board. I don't suppose there is any way to use a portable dvd player as a dvd drive for a computer. |
You can buy a cheap external portable DVD player like this guy recommends... |

I don't have a portable dvd player but if it's what I picture it to be, no, it will only play, not burn. I bet you could order a good burner for less than $20 if you don't need it right now. If you do need it right now, I don't know. Burn it on another computer? Borrow a burner out of an old computer? Local shop/retailer? Another possible approach: If you have a spare USB flash drive, write it as a bootable flash? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick |

Thanks. I only mentioned a dvd player because I have a perfectly brand new linux mint 14 dvd, which I bought, not realising my two old pcs only boot with cds. I really need to start paying more attention. As for the usb, yes I have an iso ready to go on one but my pc will not boot with it. LOL! Anyway short of winning the lottery these old clunkers are what I have to work with for now. I'll figure something out! |
The bumbling around you're describing doesn't make it sound like you're an ideal candidate for using linux. I'm not sure how many PCs you need to use, but if you're trying to make a go of it with old ones, you might do better if you stick to Windows. |

A good brush for blending all colors. I prefer to use M.A.C #217 for that purpose. I'm not going to buy this brush again if something bad happens to it. ;P
More reviews by nutsaboutmakeup
Made of natural bristles with wodden handles. Similar to stila's #5 or MAC #228 (but many times bigger). a lovely brush for sweeping a wash of colour over eye. The bristles are very soft and grab colour and deposit the eyeshadow evenly on lids. No shedding at all. Pretty firm for controlled placement of eyeshadow.Weirdest thing is its so much bigger than the mac yet it dries faster than the mac! It dries up overnight and i can use the brush the next morning.
Only regret was that i didnt pick an extra piece especailly since it was going at half price at the department store. continued >>

Daredevil, The Punisher, Blade, Ghost Rider
Every now and then, one of the characters Marvel previously licensed to another studio returns to the fold. Unfortunately, it's usually because the studio let the property lapse due to fan disinterest.
So Marvel Studios hasn't been particularly eager to hustle more of these battered titles back into production.
"So Punisher, Ghost Rider, … Blade, all those characters are back," Feige told EW. "They all have potential, but I think we need to find the right time."
In other words, don't look at any of these as a priority for Phase Three.
It has been 10 years since Ben Affleck's screen version of Daredevil, and Fox nearly held on to the property last year when director Joe Carnahan (Narc, The A-Team) pitched a grim, grittier version of the blind superhero. When executives passed, Carnahan released some concept reels suggesting the tone he had wanted for his Daredevil… and the clock slowly ticked down until the rights landed back in Marvel's lap.
"We're not going to say, we got it back — make it," Feige said.

While testifying before a panel on new reforms to combat methamphetamines, state Representative Aric Nesbitt of Lawton said the drug has caused "an epidemic and we have to combat it. The House Criminal Justice Committee is considering a three-bill package to cut down on the illegal production of the drug. Nesbitt introduced a bill establishing sentencing guidelines for people convicted of "smurfing" in the production of crystal meth. Smurfing is when a group of people purchase small, legal amounts of pseudoephedrine, a key ingredient of meth, and combine it to make actual meth. The committee continues to consider the legislation.

We, at Phoenix Restoration, were neighbors of Dana. We have for years watched him walk Cottton up and down Fresh Pond Drive. We often have as many as five dogs at our office, and from time to time Cotton would come visit. While we didn't know Dana personally, his presence on our street will be missed. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Dear Brindley family and Ms. Ledman,
We were shocked and deeply saddened when we heard of Dana's passing. Dana was one of the first people in the OBX with whom we became close after we bought our home in Duck from Mssrs. Brindley and Twiddy. Dana did our landscaping and lawn care there until his injury forced his retirement. I always enjoyed our conversations, and he invariably just 'dropped by' when he knew we were there. He was one of the most interesting people I've known; I only wish I could have gotten him to call me Cliff instead of Mr. Williams.
Jeanne Coote on

I just learned of Dana's passing and am very sadden by this. Dana was such a neat person and much fun to hang out with. Even though I have not seen him in several years I have often thought about him. You could always count on Dana to be wearing his flip flops all year long. What a great guy and a great loss. My heart goes out to his family and friends. He will truely be missed. Party on Dana.
Please share your thoughts ...
Note: Your message of condolence will be posted online within 24 hours. Thank you.

Drinking is bad. It's a weakness. I hate the people who go to parties and can't have fun with their friends without alcohol. It's pathetic that they can't enjoy themselves at a ******* party with all their friends without needing to drink. Or the people who hide in a bottle from their problems. It's just a crutch. Man the **** up and deal with your problems. Life is hard, man up. You wont find any solutions to your problems at the bottom of a bottle, they're still there when you sober up. It's also horrible for you body basically like drinking poison.

I doubt you've been to many parties. This isn't rampant alcoholism, it's unwinding a bit with a few beers. All they do is encourage everyone to relax and be themselves.
Being so uptight about this is sad, you're this upset that people drink among friends and have a decent time without hurting anyone.

I'm 20 and in college, I do go to parties. I just don't drink. I'm also not that weird guy standing in the corner silently judging everyone. I'm very social and talk to a lot of people, both friends and strangers, if someone offers me a drink I just say no thank you. If you need to drink to be yourself then there's something wrong with you. Instead of using it as a crutch to be able to socialize better how about you work on being social while ******* sober? But no that's too much work huh? It's better to just take the easy way out and hide in your little fantasy world.

CAMBRIDGE – The Patriots are in the midst of the offseason, but they never forget to give back.
On Wednesday, safeties Patrick Chung, Kanorris Davis and tight end Michael Hoomanawanui teamed with AccesSportAmerica to put on a football skills clinic for 150 high-school students with disabilities.
At Harvard's Jordan Field, the kids were all smiles as the players, along with members of the Harvard football team, put them through various drills.
"This is fun. Coming out here and playing with these kids, making sure they get the right exercise. They had a great time," said Chung. "They were dancing, having touchdown dances. It was fun. It was a great experience. People aren't as fortunate, so you have to go out there and help and show them that we love them back. They love us. We love our fans. It's great. This was a great outcome."
AccesSportAmerica is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fitness for people with disabilities. The event was also a part of the NFL Play 60 campaign, designed to fight child obesity by getting kids active through various forms of programs.
The students went through various skills stations where they learned to catch, throw and block with instruction from Chung, Davis and Hoomanawanui.
Davis said the experience was rewarding.
"Just coming out here and being able to play with the people from around this area, being from a different area and seeing how people react in certain situations, they take a lot of pride in their sports around here," Davis said. "They really support you. It was great just to come out and you know run around with them and have a little fun."

Sharkoon releases Anti-Vibration Fan Frame with Magnetic Attachment System
Cooling / Accessories
Anti-Vibration Fan Frame with Magnetic Attachment System Sharkoon Anti-Vibe Magnetic: vibration-eliminating fan frame with securing magnets for easy and flexible installation in computer cases / 80mm and 120mm fans / SRP starting at 4,99 euros
Sharkoon presents an anti-vibration frame for case fans that attaches itself with magnets. The Sharkoon Anti-Vibe Magnetic isolates fans from the wall of the case and prevents transmission of vibrations to the case. In this way the frame dampens annoying operational sounds and lengthens the life of the fan.
Installing the Anti-Vibe Magnetic is quick and easy. The frame is approximately three centimetres wide and made from flexible rubber so that it fits perfectly over the plastic fan frame. Hidden in the corners of the frame are eight enclosed magnets, allowing users to install the fan without screws and even in places without pre-drilled screw holes. The magnets in the Anti-Vibe Magnetic are much too weak to cause any memory malfunctions, but for safety reasons should not be placed directly on top of hard drives. Even users of non-magnetic aluminium cases can use the frames due to the screw holes in the rubber frames. Sharkoon offers the Anti-Vibe Magnetic in two sizes for 80mm and 120mm fans.
End users with find the Sharkoon Anti-Vibe Magnetic available immediately for the suggested retail price of 4,99 euros (80mm) and 5,99 euros (120mm) at authorised retailers.

I'm not usually awake this early. I worked at my desk last night until 1:00am, answering emails & cleaning out my email boxes, a task that was long overdue (& still not complete). Then I did a few pages of Cryptograms to try to shut my brain down from thinking. Somehow it didn't work, & I tossed & turned all night, having conversations in my head, to do lists, & other BS. I finally gave up & got out of bed at 5:45, a rising time that is unheard of in my life! I was hungry, & irritable from brain activity. So I got up & made breakfast: Fried apples with cinnamon & fried pork with cabbage. Both of my sons also got up & breakfast was served in shallow bowls, it a yin/yang sort of presentation. It was good.
Now I'm having tea. I love the way this tea foams on top every time I brew it. I've reviewed it before, & it's definitely on my top 10 list of teas right now. I find myself rotating through several different black teas, & today it is this one. Richly Malty, deeply satisfying with a dark chocolate undertone & a peppery quality, this is a savoring tea, perfect for the morning. I feel like I'm getting away with something!

Both of you emailed me with questions about hummingbird feeders, and I emailed both of you, but no response. I wondered if you got my emails, or was there a glitch in sending them? I just clicked the usual reply button when I answered, but I'm not sure if because the origin of your emails was Gardenweb, something may have worked differently and there may have been a problem.
If they didn't go through, I didn't want you to think I was a deadbeat who never answered. If you see this, and especially if you didn't get the emails, let me know and tell me if you need me to contact you in a different way. --Kristin |
