Leader of Baltimore Heroin Distribution Organization Exiled to over 12 Years in Prison
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake, sentenced Donald Wright, age 42, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to 151 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute heroin. related to the operation of a drug distribution organization in the Latrobe Homes area of East Baltimore from at least 2008 through March 2011.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Ava Cooper-Davis of the Drug Enforcement Administration - Washington Field Division; Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III of the Baltimore Police Department; and Baltimore City State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein.
"Mr. Wright's drug trafficking days are over," stated Special Agent-in-Charge Ava A. Cooper-Davis of the Drug Enforcement Administration's Washington Division. "Mr. Wright was responsible for trafficking large amounts of heroin throughout the Latrobe Homes Community of East Baltimore. This successful investigation was a combined effort between the DEA and the Baltimore Police Department," added Cooper-Davis.
According to Wright's guilty plea and other court documents, from June 2008, through March 2011, Wright was an upper level supplier in the heroin and marijuana distribution organization which conducted drug transactions in residential neighborhoods and other areas in Baltimore. Wright and other conspirators directed the distribution of heroin and marijuana throughout the Baltimore metro area, including East Baltimore and the Latrobe Homes area. Wright purchased significant quantities of heroin from other members of the conspiracy, as well as other suppliers, and sold quantities of heroin to mid-level dealers for further distribution. Wright also acquired marijuana for distribution from multiple sources, including from members of the conspiracy.
Law enforcement overheard conversations between Wright and other members of the conspiracy, including Dana Bowman and William Hite, during which the purchase and sale of various amounts of heroin and marijuana was discussed. For example, on January 17, 2011, law enforcement overheard conversations that two individuals had with Wright to arrange the purchase of heroin. Officers conducted surveillance at the bar where Wright agreed to meet the individuals, and stopped the individuals after they had met with Wright, recovering five grams of heroin from each individual. In addition, on February 3 and February 9, 2011, a DEA undercover agent bought 26 grams and 100 grams of heroin, respectively, from Wright.
Dana Bowman, age 39, and William Hite, age 42, both of Baltimore, have pleaded guilty to their roles in the conspiracy. Bowman was sentenced to 151 months in prison and Hite is awaiting sentencing.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the DEA, Baltimore City Police Department, and the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein commended Baltimore City Assistant State's Attorneys Tony Gioia, Miabeth Marosy, Jeanne Canal and Anna Mantegna, who are prosecuting related state cases and thanked Assistant United States Attorney Benjamin M. Block and Special Assistant United States Attorney Christopher M. Mason, a cross-designated Baltimore City Assistant State's Attorney assigned to Exile cases, who prosecuted the case.

to Maintaining Health & Beauty.
Early in his career as a facial plastic surgeon and biochemist, Dr. David Alessi saw the need for a complete solution to facial care and rejuvenation. Surgery could tighten or remove sagging skin. Lasers, fillers and injectables helped with fine lines. But all of those treatments failed in halting the aging process and maintaining changes on a microscopic level. The Alessi Institute provides some of the finest cosmetic procedures and treatments available to help patients look and feel their best. However, our philosophy is geared towards overall health and well-being through a variety of preventive and proactive approaches.
We want you to feel vibrant from the inside out. There are many ways in which to avoid needing our cosmetic services. Yes, that's right. We want to help you prevent premature aging skin–fine lines & wrinkles, sun spots and pigmentation–through a few simple steps. We'll still be here if you need our help, but there's plenty you can do on your own! Many of the preventive measures are truly easy to follow and you are probably familiar with most of them already. It's the implementation and dedication to these habits that can truly make a difference.
Your skin reflects your health. It's your body's outer shell and an extremely valuable asset. Developing healthy habits early is key. However, it's never too late to give skin the kind of attention it needs to improve or maintain it's healthy qualities. There are many factors that can affect your skin's health and vibrancy.
BLOCK SUN EXPOSURE: Protect skin from damaging ultraviolet rays by insuring you use a proper sun block–one with UVB and UVA protection. There are two types of UV radiation: UVB and UVA. UVB rays cause sunburns and UVA rays are responsible for that tanned color most sun lovers want. UVA rays are believed to cause photo-aging. Photo-aging is damaging to the skin and occurs as a result of many years of sun exposure. Both types of rays contribute to the risk of developing skin cancer.
REDUCE STRESS: Stress is believed to cause chemical reactions within the body that can affect a number of immune-related conditions. Lowering stress can have healthy benefits to your body.
GET UP AND MOVE: It doesn't take more than 20 to 30 minutes a few times per week to maintain a healthy exercise regime. You already know how important it is to move. All you have to do is commit to a realistic program that you know you can easily maintain. The increase in blood flow can "wake up" those healthy cells that can help to heal and rejuvenate your body.
MAINTAIN GOOD NUTRITION: We've all heard so many contradicting ideas about proper nutrition. But the general feeling is "everything in moderation", right? Not only is this also our philosophy, but in addition to this mantra there are a few other things we recommend…
Avoid White Carbohydrates: (sugar, flour, bread, crackers, dairy).Incorporate more whole grains and protein into your diet. Get good carbs from fruits & vegetables.
Eat several small meals throughout the day instead of large ones.
Eat foods high in nutritional value to include antioxidants, folic acid, vitamin C & zinc.
DON'T SMOKE: Smoking can restrict blood flow and oxygen essential to maintaining healthy cells that help keep skin looking youthful.
CLEANSE • HYDRATE • REPLENISH SKIN: Your skin holds many of the elements collected throughout the day within it's pores. Makeup, weather and other environmental factors can damage your skin. Keeping skin clean, hydrated and nourished daily is essential to good skin health. But finding the right products can be frustrating.
Dr. Alessi has combined his background as a biochemist, researcher and experienced facial plastic surgeon to create Alessi Skin Care products. This exceptional Beverly Hills Skin care line helps thousands of patients each year to reverse the effects of premature aging and help skin repair itself through cell-building ingredients essential to maintaining healthy skin.

text: Thanks so much TeaEqualsBliss for allowing me to be the first outside the Sororitea Sisters to try this blend, via the traveling tea box. It certainly sounds like an amazing combination of things. I was guessing on the steep temp and time though, since it's a white tea but also a chai and black tea. So I probably didn't steep this one correctly. It all seems to meld together well. It definitely tasted more white tea than black. The steep color looks more like a white tea too. A bit spicy, but not too much caramel or raspberry. I like it though.

If you thought you got all the sex ed you needed in high school, think again. Research shows that as Americans are growing older, rising rates of sexually transmitted diseases are following them right into their golden years.
In fact, STD rates among 50 to 90 year olds have roughly doubled during the last decade in the US and UK, according to a recent British study. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that chlamydia rates alone jumped more than 32% among 45 to 64 year olds between 2007 and 2011, and syphilis rates increased more than 15% during the same period.
"As the Baby Boomer generation moves into retirement, the notion that they'll carry with them their sexual behaviors, and so will increase their risk for STDs, certainly makes sense," says H. Hunter Handsfield, MD, professor emeritus at the University of Washington Center for AIDS and STD.
There's really only one way to guarantee you won't contract an STD: Quit having sex. (Very funny, we know; just seeing if you were paying attention.) But using protection or sleeping with only one partner who you know to be disease-free are also pretty reliable preventatives, according to Catherine Satterwhite, PhD, of the CDC's Division of STD Prevention.
Read on to learn about the most common STDs, their associated symptoms, and what to do if you believe you're infected.

I have this nice tree in my front yard that I would like to keep. Its about 10" in diameter and an arborist aquaintance pointed out small holes in the trunk to me and said i can treat them with some sort of pesticide called eight? 8? I guess its like seven that you put on garden plants? Anyone heard of this? I think he said it has something called perimythium(??) in it?
Or where to buy it? |

did he discuss emerald ash borer with you? are the holes half moon shaped ... if so ... you have big problems that no dust or pyrethrum based chemical is going to fix ... the only fix i am aware of is bayer systemic tree care .... it will need to be treated every year until it dies ... potentially very expensive ... if he missed a diagnosis of EAB .... then you need a better expert ... google EAB for lots more info ... ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: google EAB
I'm sorry I forgot to mention , he did say it WASN'T EAB. So he said it was just a regular(?) bore worm that is treatable. Any clarification on the pesticide I need? |
There's a good chance that it's a clearwing borer (ask him to clarify). There are a couple of species that are pretty common on ash, and they're pretty easy to distinguish from EAB. Bifenthrin (Onyx) and permethrin (Astro and many others) are commonly used for those. It won't kill larvae that are already in the tree, but it can help prevent further infestations. The timing is important, though, and depends on the species (it's probably late now for ash/lilac clearwing, probably not for banded ash clearwing). You would be wise to get a professional if you're not experienced with pesticides. A better question is whether you really "need" to spray. If it is a clearwing borer, trees can usually recover from a few attacks. The insects are usually more attracted to trees that are injured or stressed. You might be better off spending the money and effort on taking steps to make sure your tree is otherwise healthy and vigorous. |

Being that you live in EAB territory, you might should go ahead with the Bayer treatment. I would do a soil drench now, and another in early spring. |
I believe Bayer says on the label to use the systemic insecticide only once per year. It saved my white birch that was shot through with the Bronze Birch borer. I applied one drench, (8 ounces in a couple gallons of water in a sprinkler can) in fall '06 and my 20 foot tree is robust and recovering nicely this year. Some neighbors have seen their birch die because they didn't treat them. Now I am watching two strong black ash for Emerald Ash borer. It has just been confirmed in W. Pennsylvania and I will the use the Bayer product when necessary. At about 18.00 per bottle at Lowe's one also has to calculate costs per year based on size and number of trees. The product works well. |

We have bore worms in our trees. Some of these trees are 60 to 70 feet tall. The tops are dying and limbs are falling and could cause a very dangerous accident. Please help us. We are losing all our trees. |

Checking for Cleanliness
Next, the inspection of the food preparation facilities is conducted. The inspector examines the condition of the stove, grill and deep-fat fryers. More specific areas such as the hoods, filters, vent ducts and ventilation fan will be examined. Additionally, the inspector will check the adequacy, condition and quality of the lighting system. The inspector looks at the fixed fire suppression systems and portable extinguishers, noting the dates they were last examined and tagged.
The condition of the walls, duckboards and mats in the embedded vicinity of the food preparation area is also noted. The inspector examines the condition of the food preparation tabletops, cutting boards and meat blocks as well as the condition and cleanliness of equipment and utensils used for food preparation. Are all hot food storage areas adequate? Are probe thermometers available and accurate? Are can openers, cooking utensils, storage drawers and shelves, knives and cooking containers free of food residue or any other dirt and grime?
An inspection of the operational facilities of the food service establishment, such as the dishwasher, dishwashing sink, and restroom facilities is conducted. The inspector looks at all mechanisms of the dishwasher to ensure they are clean, operational and at set standards. If there is no dishwasher, the dishwashing sink must contain the proper number of compartments, adequate sanitizing solution, and a test kit to monitor its strength. Faucets for the cross-connections should be designed to accept hoses provided with backflow prevention devices.
What about the ice machine -- is it clean and in good shape? How is the ice made? Is its scoop handle sitting out of the ice?
The inspector examines the restrooms. He checks their adequacy, condition and cleanliness. Are they well ventilated? Does everything work, including soap and towel dispensers? If the restroom is used by employees, it must have both hot and cold water, and the inspector makes sure both are working. He looks for the "employees must wash their hands before leaving" sign that must be posted in a conspicuous place.

My established Bewitched bush for some reason took a long break this summer after its usual May blooms, no blooms at all until now. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nice looking bloom but wow! on the wait time.... |
Well worth the wait. |
It's beautiful! Some varieties take longer to cycle anyway but if there were any adverse weather conditions that might have added to the down time. Some of mine were very slow to repeat because our July was cool and gray for the most part. They took off in August when things cleared up and it got hot though. |
Thanks everyone. I don't know what the explanation is. Bewitched usually repeats really fast for me. A majority of my other roses have been repeating their cycles really quickly all season long. One thing I've always wondered about Bewitched is mine always grows tall and never gets many canes. I have seen pictures of huge Bewitched bushes that are as wide as tall, would love to have one like that. Guess I should be happy it has always been disease resistant for me and seems to be hardy. |
Gorgeous pink flower! Love, love, love that color. Sounds like a 'down right' mystery to me on why this beauty took sooo long to rebloom again. Sara-Ann, can you describe her fragrance to us? :) |
Dove_song - Thank you. I'll try to describe the fragrance. I've always thought of Bewitched as having more of a spicy fragrance, but HMF describes it as damask. To me it is a very pleasant fragrance, but not overly strong, at least not to my senses. |
Thanks, Sara-Ann. I saw that fragrance info on HMF, but you just never know so I thought I'd ask. Perhaps someday Bewitched will be added to my garden. Sure is pretty!! :) |

That's a GORGEOUS bloom!!! As to the lack of bushiness - do you ever water with alfalfa tea? I just put alfalfa pellets in my wheelbarrow and spray (not letting it merely flow) water on them. That should help since it promotes new basal growth. |
Carol - Thank you and thanks for the suggestion about the alfalfa tea to help with basal breaks, something I've been wondering about. Several years ago I tried Epsom salts for that purpose, not sure if it made a difference, maybe some. |
- Posted by canadian_rose zone 3a (My Page) on Thu, Sep 12, 13 at 2:22
I think that it was Henry from this forum that posted something about Epsom Salts not being worth their salt (sorry about the pun). And Henry, I'm sorry if I'm misquoting you. So I don't bother with that anymore. Carol |

In the kitchen of Mauro's Pizza & Pasta, cooks make yeast-leavened dough by hand using organic flour as other cooks slow-cook tomato sauce with locally grown organic vegetables and herbs. Handcrafted signature pizzas such as the Genovese sport artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto, and custom pies are available in diverse combinations. For takeout, daily entree specials include artichoke lasagna with tomato-cream sauce and handmade ravioli pouches stuffed with butternut squash and walnut-sage brown butter—each designed to fill family dinner tables or family neck-mounted trays if tables have already been eaten.
The San Francisco Chronicle highlighted Gaspare's Pizzeria Ristorante Bar in its "Pizza of the Week" feature in 2008, in part due to the cooks who "work the dough like artists" to create the 27 different pies. Owned and operated by Gaspare, Daniel, and Robin Indelicato since 1985, the flagship San Francisco location showcases a vintage flair. The dining room sports murals of Bay Area scenes and jukeboxes blasting Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin tunes. There's even a ceiling draped with grapevines and bottles of chianti, which the servers trained to think they are bats. A second location opened in San Rafael in 2007. For his menu of Italian cuisine, Gaspare draws on his upbringing in Siculiana, Sicily, baking pans of bubbling lasagna alongside pizzas such as the feta-flecked mediterranean special. To round out meals, Robin Indelicato bakes her signature New York–style cheesecake and Italian-style tiramisu, which patrons may pair with espresso or a glass of imported Italian wine.
Since its first pizzeria opened in 1978 in Palo Alto, Mountain Mike's Pizza has stretched to encompass more than 150 restaurants throughout the West Coast. From the meat-laden Pike's Peak to the vegetarian-friendly Mt. Veggiemore, 12 specialty pizzas—most of them named after mountains—arrive in portions from small to extra large, which can feed up to eight patrons or spark nostalgia in homesick, city-dwelling mountain goats. Diners can also choose their own conglomeration of ingredients, ranging from Louisiana-style hot links to sun-dried tomatoes, and supplement pies with an all-you-can-eat salad bar or a quintet of appetizer options including wings and jalapeño poppers.
When you accidentally plant tomato seeds instead of building a treehouse for your children, you'll have to learn how to put a tomato to good use. Today's Groupon gives you a tasty education in the red fruitgetable with $20 worth of Italian cuisine at Tomatina for $10. Bring a flavorful tutorial to your palate with professorial pizzas and pastas straight from the tomato academy.
Generating 26.5 kilowatts, the solar panels atop Stefano's Solar Powered Pizza convert the sun's rays into delicious pizza, earning the eatery recognition a Bay Area Green Business. Inside, ovens house pizzas such as the chicken garlic veggie pie or the Mill Valley favorite, known for its pepperoni, mushrooms, italian sausage, and firm handshakes. Calzones and hot sandwiches are sprinkled throughout the menu alongside fresh romaine salads, slices of pesto cheese garlic bread, and sips of wine or draft beer. Stefano's Solar Powered Pizza also helps with fundraising for schools, sports teams, and community organizations.
Named after the owner's uncle, who was a WWII vet, Rocco's Pizza doles out a menu of fresh Italian cuisine. Made-from-scratch dough is rolled daily into more than 15 styles of pizza, forming a foundation for the meat-free combination of greens that composes a gourmet vegetarian pie (12", $19.75) and a battlefield where pineapple, sausage, and garlic can trade zesty punches with steel-knuckled onions to create a spicy sausage special (16", $26.60). A dish of linguine ai frutti di mare ($11.95) catches a cluster of ocean clams and shrimp in its noodly net, and a meatball sandwich ($6.75) packs red sauce, meatballs, onions, and cheese into a french sweet-roll sleeping bag. Customers can check the rest of Rocco's menu for appetizers, fresh salads, and juicy beef or chicken burgers while kicking back in the causal pizzeria, which features a flat-screen TV and room for 50 diners to play musical chairs.

After missing the first seven games of the 2014 NLL season, forward Casey Powell returns to the Colorado Mammoth. Powell will make his season-debut this Sat., Feb. 1 against the Minnesota Swarm on HealthONE Field at Pepsi Center.
"Casey was tremendous after we acquired him late last season," said Mammoth president & general manager Steve Govett. "We're thrilled to have him back."
The 2010 NLL MVP registered nine goals and 23 assists in just six regular-season games for Colorado a season ago. He led the Mammoth with six points (three goals, three assists) in the West Division Semifinal.
In December, Powell notified the organization that personal reasons would prohibit him from playing. Now he's back and ready to perform.
"I can't wait to hit the floor and help this team win games," said Powell. "Saturday night is going to be a blast!"
Forward Drew Westervelt returns to the 20-man Active Roster after missing this past weekend's game due to commitments with the U.S. Men's National Team in Florida. Transition player Mat MacLeod has been placed on the Injured Reserve List, while transition player Jackson Decker returns to the Practice Player List.
Tickets to Saturday's game (Wooly's Birthday) start at just $10 and are on sale now at the Pepsi Center Box Office and Altitude Tickets.

This is going to sound really stupid, but it's been driving me mad and I'd really like some advice.
I'm a junior at a really old, private, all-girls school. We have prom, but it's not like real prom because we usally don't have a lot of boys. This year they're inviting juniors and seniors from an all-boys military school in the area so the gender balnce will be a little more equal. Because it's usally not, we have a rule that students can't inivite girls from other schools to dances. I thought that since we were bringing in all these guys that maybe they'd make a slight execption, so I went to talk to our dean of students (who's a democrat, by the way). I explained to her how I've been dating this girl for quite a while now and how I'd really like to ask her to go to prom with me. Our dean, who I really like and is everybody's mom at school (though now I can barely look at her), just spits the rule back at me and that was that.
I'm really mad at myself for not trying to at least fight for it even though our administration is really converitive. My girlfriend's said she's totally willing to just pertend to be a guy and come anyway, but my school will kick you out for anything so I don't think that's a good idea. I've promised a friend that I'd go to the stupid thing (plus I already bought a dress), but I'm really fed up with the whole thing. It's times like these when I just wish I could be like everyone else.
Any adivce? Thanks. (Sorry that was so long.)
whoever's the dean's boss.

Play the equal rights card, although that still might not work cuz the rest of the world still has problems with that too. You could still try, and explain that it's an all-girls school, that is bringing boys most of you probably don't know, to make you dance with: you're allowed to bring guy dates from other schools but not girl dates? Sexuality segregation much?
"I don't drink booze cause my heart's explosive.

I know you want to be me, but baby it ain't easy!"

just go to the prom, but don't dance with anyone. sit right in front of the dean and look miserable. then if you are lucky then you might get to bring your girl next year. i would bring my bf but he is in ny and i am in tx. which sucks cuz i get in free and so does my date!!!!!(which i don't have on of those in the area)
"Love is patent. Love is kind." I will wait for you and I to be together. I will wait untill the end of the earth if I must!
Echoing Biohazard. You could probably even talk to the ACLU about it; I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.
Definitely fight it. If they try to kick you out, fight that.

Private school = no federal funding = no need to follow federal equal access laws. Also, they can make rules without needing to justify them more.

-- Camille Paglia, on Oasis
of the thing that gets to me. I mean, I get that at an all girls school the last thing we need is a bunch of people bringing their friends, but, whether or not they intended it, the rule does discriminate. The thing is that the administration is very conservitive (they wouldn't let a friend of mine set up a branch of the Secular Student Aliance, which is not, as our principle thinks, about being athist, it's about the 1st Amendment), so, unless I want to make a massive deal out of this, there's not a lot I can do. I mean, it's just prom. Is it worth it? I'm the only person who's more or less 100% out at my school, which doesn't really help.
I'm with Jeff--you can't possibly be the only gay girl in your school, you're just the only one who's out. Plus, I agree, it is the principle of the thing. Go back and talk to your dean, talk to her boss, talk to a supportive teacher... Someone. And keep us posted, yeah?
Megan: "Cheers are supposed to be simple, make people feel good."
Graham: "Cheers make girls do stupid cartwheels. Orgasms make people feel good."
-But I'm a Cheerleader
a couple of people at my school and see what they think. Even if I can't do anything about this, I'm not going to let the school forget that we're there.
I'll keep you updated.
That really sucks.
I agree with the people before me.
Talk to some people with power, make some good arguments...
I wish I had better advice, but all I can say is: You gotta fight for your right to party.....with another girl :-)
Oh, and welcome to Oasis
dont want to change who you are just because someone was being rude. you should be happy, #1 because you have someone who loves you #2 you had the courage to ask your dean. if she doesnt like the fact your bi/lesbian then she can shove it.
what does her being a democrat have to do with anything?
I don't really have anything to say... I just wanted to say that's awful.

And how are the Draenei not 'pure'??
On another note, Tauren kill Dwarves who are only excavating THEIR old ruins, and also fighting the Centuar who were likewise enemies, way to kill off your potential allies, even after they sent an ambassador to Mulgore for peace!
I started alliance because that's where all my friends played, and that's where I've stayed. I have a few alts scattered around, a couple of them horde side, but I always come back to my main server because I like playing with people I know.
I quite like the look of the Horde though, and it would be neat to actually get past level 30 on one!
Horde all the way, forever.
I started Horde when I started WoW because my friends were playing it and the Alliance just seemd too... boring. I didn't really know a lot about the lore back then. But as time passed I really delved into the lore and I just love Horde by now, I just couldn't switch to Alliance for good.
Alliance is ok, they also got some great lore and cool characters, but I just like Horde more.
Thrall Hall! Blood and Thunder!
I started playing WoW Alliance side, simply because friends played it, got a human mage to level 8 and was bored out of my mind with the standard fantasy setting.
Made an Orc Hunter during my friends downtime, and totally fell in love with Horde side of the game. I loved that durotar looked nothing like your standard fantasy game, and since then created a second Main, my Tauren druid, and several alts (Undead Warlock, Troll Shaman).
I think this opens up an interesting discussion. I personally Identify with my characters as though they were an extension of myself...so as a male I would feel like I were in drag if I played a female. There are many players who don't see it that way though. It's more like controlling another person or an imaginary friend I suppose.
Played A dwarf for the trial, but I wasn't too keen on it.
Favoured races are Tauren and undead, just for the really good lore behind the two, and I really like the character models.
Plus, you get to kill gnomes.
My friend was already on the Horde when I started so I didn't really have a choice about it. But I have always wanted a Draeni Paladin because the Paladin has been my favorite class since Warcraft III and the Draeni just look soo cool and mystical. But BC had me covered a bit because if not for Blood Elf Pallys then I would have had to abandon my friend. I still want a Draeni Pally but I just can't go from 1-80 again yet
Horde all the way. I find Horde lore so much more interesting, and it seems to me, in the politics of it all, that the Alliance are striving for a democracy whereas the Horde are out for survival.
First character was a Blood Elf Mage. I flutter between him, an Undead Priest and a Tauren Druid.
And ... Dwarves / Gnomes / Humans are, in my honest opinion, a bit of an anti-climax. I couldn't play an RPG with the opportunity to play all these different races, which are so far from reality, to roll a Human. I'm a human anyway. It's boring.
I completely agree. When I tried playing a human in WoW I had this strange urge to just level cooking all the time! 90% of their starting zone is farmland for the love of--
My friend who got me into the game had just started an Alliance character so I joined the same faction naturally. Later on that turned out to be the right choice for me anyway, as levelling Horde characters just showed me that Horde zones, quests and certain races just weren't really to my tastes.
FOR THE HORDE! Seriously, how much more Warcraft-y can you get than an Orc Shaman? Every time I hear one flip out and cast Bloodlust my excitement and nerd rage increase by 30%. I was a Draenei Shaman just so I could play w/ friends, but the battle drums pounding in my head wouldn't stop, so I HAD to roll Horde! ...The battle drums have only gotten louder since then, but that's the way we like it!
I've played alliance and horde on several servers. There's significantly less griefing and more maturity on the horde side.
Notice, I didn't say there was less immaturity = )
That being said, I prefer alliance for PVE and Horde for PVP.
I prefer Horde and almost all of my characters are Blood Elf females. I'm a male myself but I don't see it as a "drag" or anything like that. I just prefer to look at them from behind more than any other race. Why do Night Elf females look like they're wearing diapers, btw!?!
Yes! I agree. I'm always hoping for that. I wonder if it's possible. Wished they would revamp some animations on female troll. This gal has some god awful way of walkin mon. And the feet are too big. And well, more pretty faces please? And the human female needs some lipo on the hips. And a walking change too.
I think the female orcs need a wholes mess of work. There is one troll female face and hair I like, but the rest of them are kind of meh. Just cuz she's got tusks or green skin doesn't mean she can't be cute!
I don't mind the other troll faces so much. I regret choosing the "pretty" one for my troll priestess, but the other ones just looks so damn angry, and my troll is just not angry! She's laid back... and the pretty face is the only one with an expression that's not glowering.
I started out Alliance since that's what our friends were playing on the server where we started. After about six months my husband got bored with his rogue and rolled a Tauren shaman, and I rolled an undead rogue alt to still play with him some, and our friends weren't really playing much at that point. Husband got into a guild, got me invited, guild subsequently merged with what is at this point one of the oldest and most stable guilds on the server.
Two months later, the Bronzebeard > Eitrigg server transfers opened up, and one of the largest Horde guilds transferred en masse. The Alliance PVP queues went to hell (yes, that long ago), and I rolled a Tauren hunter to replace my Nelf as my main. Three months later I was raiding and was shortly made an officer, and I haven't even contemplated switching since.
(Our friends subsequently all followed us to the Horde.)
I did not play any WC games prior to WoW. I did not know anyone who played WoW prior to playing WoW. But before buying the game I decided to research the story and what the game involved.
I found that from an outsiders perspective the Horde were the good guys and the Alliance attempt to be good but seem to come off as bigots. Also, people who decided to play Ally because they are the prettier faction should not argue which is better because they come off as ignorant, much in the same way people who play Horde because LOLBADGUYS should not argue which is "better".
I respect numerous Alliance figures such as; Malfurion Stormrage, Jaina Proudmoore, Tirion Fordring, Brann Bronzebeard and the Prophet Velen. But characters such as Varian Wrynn and Daelin Proudmoore annoy me to no end. (The same can be said for Garrosh Hellscream.)
I have tried to play Alliance before to get a better understanding, but found I could not level past around 25-30ish due to the immature players, I'm sorry for the generalisation but the spam in the public channels just remind me of the barrens except it's in trade.
If you play Alliance for friends or because the lore does not interest you, you just played the more attractive race for PVP or end game raiding then I can respect that. If you play Alliance for lore purposes, you are deluded :)

Billed as a top notch musical revue, this popular touring entity makes its Tiffin debut with five Broadway stars accompanied by an all-star New York band. The current lineup includes Ron Bohmer (The Phantom in "Phantom of the Opera," "Sunset Boulevard" and "Ragtime"), Carter Calvert ("It Ain't Nothin' but the Blues," "Cats" and "Forbidden Vegas"), Robert Desold ("The Producers," "Les Misérables," "Phantom of the Opera" "Cats" and "Jekyll and Hyde"), Sandra Joseph (Christine Daae in "Phantom of the Opera") and Craig Schulman (The Phantom in "Phantom of the Opera," Jean Valjean in "Les Misérables" and "Jekyll & Hyde").
Want to go?
WHAT: Neil Berg's "100 Years of Broadway"
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 22
WHERE: The Ritz Theatre, 30 S. Washington St., Tiffin
COST: $20 to $50
INFO: 419.448.8544 or www.ritztheatre.org
Funcoast talked to Berg – who is currently writing the music for the Broadway bound musical "Grumpy Old Men" – about this star-studded evening and why snotty theater people may want to stay at home.
Funcoast: How long has "100 Years of Broadway" been on the road?
Neil Berg (NB): It's a national tour doing between 80 to 100 concerts a year. This will be its 9th year. I use only the real stars. The whole concept is I bring five actual Broadway stars. These aren't people singing tunes. I'm bringing in the real deal. These are people who have starred in the most famous roles on Broadway. That's what separates us. They tell the stories behind the songs. So it's an inside look into Broadway from the actual stars as they recreate their big moments from their big shows.
Funcoast:How does the revolving cast work?
NB: I have a stable of 50 of the best stars. My relationship with them is such that when they're not in the Broadway shows, what do they do? They go on concert tours with me. So they call me two weeks before a Broadway show closes and say, "What concerts do you have coming up?" I pick the best of the best based on who is not in a show, so the cast is always rotating.
Funcoast: Considering this is the first time "100 Years of Broadway" is playing Tiffin, what can we expect?
NB: They're in for Broadway nirvana. If you're a Broadway fan, it's like seeing 25 to 35 of your favorite musicals without the dialogue but all of the hits. So it's like a greatest hits concert but by the actual stars. It's Broadway utopia, and even if you're not a big Broadway fan, then it's the best talent in the world. So there's no way you're not going to flip out and enjoy this concert.
Funcoast:You mentioned the audience is the sixth man after the five performers. What does this mean?
NB: People come in knowing all of the songs. They're bringing in the whole history of memories of who they were with when they saw the musical for the first time and what it means to them. So people get very emotional. People are crying and laughing. That's what makes is so special. All of those things bring it full circle.
Funcoast: Oftentimes people are intimited by a Broadway show. They may feel as though it'll be above their head.
NB: This is not standoffish. It's all inclusive, so it feels like one big party. It's a celebration and a party. This show is for the public. This show is not for the snotty theater people. This is for mom and pop who love the music of Broadway. That's why it works so well.

Name: Jukka Mäennenä
Born: 22.2.1987
Hometown: Tampere, Finland
Sport: BMX, mountain biking
Read MoreYears with BMX: Almost 10 years now!
How did you get into BMX: I've always been into bikes for some reason. As a kid I had a BMX for a while but it wasn't anything serious back then. When I was around 14 or so I got my first real mountain bike and a couple of years after that I got my first proper BMX and things took off from there.
Greatest biking memory: That's a tough one! It's hard to decide between landing a new trick, clearing a new line or riding with good company in a good setting.
Greatest achievement outside sports: I'm about to graduate as a mechanical engineer at some point, eh?
Things you love in BMX riding: Speed, jumping high, technical aspects of bike handling skills and working on my bike.
Worst part in BMX riding: There are days when it feels that nothing works. I hope that's the case with almost anyone!
Tricks or racing: Both! It comes and goes. Sometimes I couldn't care less about doing or learning tricks. Going fast just feels good. Then again there are times when I want to learn a specific trick and put a lot of effort to it. It's sort of seasonal I guess.
What trick would you do the whole day: 360 tables, as soon as I got them to the point where I want them to be! Work in progress…
What would you improve in your riding: 1st bike handling skills – you can never be too good at those. 2nd: Sprinting power. It would be nice to get a holeshot in BMX-racing at least once, hah.
Indoors or outdoors: Outdoors, if the weather is good.
How do you get inspired: Watching other people ride and having specific times when I just concentrate on enhancing motivation.
Training alone or with friends: Both have good and bad sides but I like to train and ride alone more than most people.
Craziest thing that has happened on a BMX trip: Getting to ride some of the top pros' private yards. Shout outs to TJ Lavin, Heath Pinter and Ben Snowden!
Best thing to do without Internet connection after a day of riding: Having a good meal, relaxing, stretching and reading.
What would you do if you were not a BMX rider: That's a tough one again. I could see that I had continued to serve in the special forces after completing my national duty – maybe…
How to stay injury-free: Know your limits, don't be stupid and do a lot of training to injury-proof yourself.
Future goals: Get the most out of riding in the following years and ride more shows
Your favourite Battery Energy Drink: They all are good!
Do you have a secret talent: Yes, being consistent. Very few things have come to me with ease. Therefore I need to practice things that I want to get better in pretty much day in day out.

Went to an auction a couple miles away today. Scored a huge 20 quart Stainless stock pot, 8 quart aluminum stock pot, 6 quart tomato scalder, meat grinder, 2 dozen jars, lid wrenches, stainless colander, small meat cleaver, some sort of funnel stand.
Now, I'm wondering if anyone on here uses aluminum stock pots anymore. I had heard they're not safe for the traces of aluminum they leave in food unless they're anodized. A little research online stated their danger is overstated. Still, I've not used one and didn't spend much at the sale for the one I got. Advice? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow! Good deal and all looks in good condition too. The aluminum pans not only have the "causes alzheimers" hoopla going on about them and all that debate but they do interact with acidic foods and pit them so affecting the flavor and coloring of the foods. NCHFP supports that warning about using them in cooking or canning acidic foods such as tomatoes, fruits, and foods with vinegar in their basic FAQs. We had a discussion about this last week here with info links etc. but I can't recall what thread it was in so I'll see if i can find it for you. Dave |
Here is a link to one recent discussion. If you search 'aluminum pans' on the forum it will pull up a couple of other discussions too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Stainless steel vs. aluminum pots
- Posted by readinglady z8 OR (My Page) on Sat, Sep 29, 12 at 21:42
I don't give the health concerns a lot of credence, but I don't cook in aluminum because it is going to react with anything acidic and leave an unpleasant aftertaste. I do use an old Aluminum Guardian Service canning kettle as a water bath for small batches of preserves, so they do still have their uses. Kudos on your purchase. There's real value there, especially that big stainless stockpot. Looks like a Vollrath, and they're a treasure. Carol |
I'd just use the aluminum for boiling water, waterbath canning or non-acid foods. Good score! I'm curious if anyone knows the purpose/use of that stand funnel. I've never seen one. Deanna |
I'd bet the stand funnel is for filling jars when you need two hands to hold up all those heavy stock pots full of hot stuff. Before they made those light weight plastic ones. |
- Posted by monique_ca z9 CA mothrlode (My Page) on Mon, Oct 1, 12 at 0:18
Through my training, all of our MFP materials say to cook in a non-reactive pan of steel, glass, or ceramic coated. I think Deanna has the right idea on uses. |
- Posted by farmerboybill (My Page) on Mon, Oct 1, 12 at 13:45
It is a Vollrath 4305 - which makes it an "Aluminum Alloy", not Stainless. I bought it for cooking tomatoes and applesauce. Is it gonna be acceptable? I really don't have much use for it beyond that. Well, maybe sweet corn and green beans. |
- Posted by readinglady z8 OR (My Page) on Mon, Oct 1, 12 at 15:23
Darn. I wouldn't risk it. You don't want your tomatoes and applesauce to taste like aluminum. Carol |
Me neither. I'd use it for a BWB canner if it is deep enough or save it for boiling corn like you said or maybe cooking beans and ham in. Too bad, it's a good looking pot. Dave |

How long after painting a bathroom should I wait before using the sink and shower? I'm concerned about water and steam, but my guest bathroom is only a half bath.
Paint used was BM Regal pearl. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It varies a little, but I'd give most paints a day or 2 b4 a lot of steam hits them. Keep direct water splashes away for the same time. Complete cure for many Latexes is ~ a MONTH. Faron |

Last summer we reported the results of our survey of WebJunction members about their use of 10 types of online tools and resources. This spring we surveyed our membership again with a similar question, but this time separating professional use from personal use. We also updated the tool list, adding mobile apps, chat and IM, video- and photo-sharing sites, online games, and discussion forums. This year, we had 1,039 responses, in contrast to the ~575 last year. But the makeup of the respondents are similar: 70% are from public libraries, and all have registered as WebJunction members.
For the tools we surveyed last year, we see little change. The most significant shift was in social networking: in 2010, 35% reported using Facebook, Twitter or similar on a daily basis, and 30% never used it–in either a professional or personal setting. This year, 46% use social networks daily in their personal life and only 19% report never using them. Professional use of social networks lags behind personal use, but the gains are still noteworthy, as only 28% of respondents report never using social networks for work. By the way, we are hosting presentations about use of social media in the library in two free webinars this month: get the details from the WebJunction webinar calendar.
Meanwhile, email discussion lists continue to be as popular as they have been for years, with 50% of respondents using them daily (and one-quarter report daily use even in their personal lives). These are long-established, tight-knit, semi-private communities that fill our in-boxes with tips and advice, success and horror stories, rants, jokes, and calls to action. Despite their definite 1.0 clunkiness, they are still useful and used . The discussion forum, however, which could be considered the Listserv's web-dwelling cousin, seems to be fading fast, with only 6% of respondents reporting daily use in professional life (9% in personal life), and one-third stating they never use discussions (nearly one half never use them in their personal life).
The low level of use of RSS among library staff is (to me) surprising, with roughly half of respondents stating that they never use RSS. Because this tool seems like a practical and easy and efficient way to stay tapped into updated information and news on topics of interest published on the web, and because use of RSS among the general public is reportedly much higher, we are spotlighting a simple overview of this tool on WebJunction with the hopes that more library staff will give it a try.
Here are the full results from the 2011 survey question:

Recipe: BBQ Chicken Pizza With Caramelized Onions
Six Ingredients (and Salt)
Think of sitting down to a totally crave-able weeknight meal that's savory, sweet, tangy and only takes 15 minutes of oven time. This pizza is a crowd pleaser for kids and adults alike. And it's a perfect choice for grilling as well!
Now the ingredient list cheats a bit here to maximize weeknight time (that is, no time!). I pick up already made dough from the grocery or pizza shop and start with a left over grilled chicken breast and it's finished in no time.
Caramelized onions add a sweet touch and come together while the pizza is cooking, to be added when the pizza has only a few more minutes of cook time left. Whole wheat crust keeps this on the healthy side for weeknight dining.
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
Olive oil
1 grilled chicken breast, chopped into bite-size pieces
1 lb ball fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup tomato sauce
1 ball pizza dough (approximately 22 oz or enough for a large pizza)
Flour for rolling out dough
Tomatoes, to garnish
Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat a heavy-bottom pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned. Add a tablespoon of water to the hot pan and scrape off any brown bits. Remove from heat.
Using flour as needed, roll out half of pizza dough until thin (thin enough so the dough isn't in danger of tearing). Place dough on pan or stone. Spoon 1/2 cup tomato sauce and 1/4 cup BBQ sauce onto dough. Add 1/2 pound sliced mozzarella and half of the chopped chicken. Repeat with remaining dough for second pizza.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until dough is crisp and cheese is melted. Add caramelized onions to cooked pizzas, and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce.
• If using a pizza stone, put it in the oven as it's preheating.
• Add thin sliced tomatoes for garnish.

Soooo, for the months of July and August I will only be watering the foundation and the plants in the veggie garden that are really producing. In fact, I think it'd be cheaper to drive to Dallas and buy all organic than try to water the garden at all.
Now a question. Water conservation people want us to use only soaker hoses. But I am pretty disgusted with soaker hoses around the foundation. The plants right next to the hoses are fine, but the ones a foot away are dying. And the stupid hoses keep springing leaks. I don't know if it's from the cat, ants, or just aging in the sun, but every other year I have to replace all of them and I'm tired of it. Plus, my walls have cracks so I know they aren't doing that great on the foundation either. I never know exactly how much they put out, but I set the timer for the same length for all the hoses around the house and garage. At least I can measure a sprinkler system, so I am going back to that around the foundation - but not in the garden. Any tips from sprinkler system people? I'll be doing a super simple system that I'll hook up to garden hoses for a year or so until I'm sure it works well for me. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I went from soakers (had the same problems) to inground irrigation. Sprinklers are a lot easier. I still soaker hose young trees tho. My water bill is higher. I have almost no run off. To prevent run off I hand water the inferno strip and do any sloping areas that have run off in a two day deep soak instead of one day so the water has time to absorb. |
I thought you were going to tell us how much it was! I'm really sweating (in more ways than one ... LOL) my June bill which hasn't come yet. Not sure if they read the meter yet and am hesitating on watering the lawn and getting into that higher bracket. |
Well, it was just under $400. |
PJ, did you put in your own system, or have it done? We put one in many years ago in Arlington, but there was a store there at the time where we bought the materials and they made the plan. It was also a full yard system, not just the foundation. |
I, too, use a sprinkler system, but still deep water certain areas by hand at least once a week. Of course, this is from my well.........I could never use our "city" water as I would have to mortgage the house in order to pay for it. My neighbor went on vacation a few years back, left credit cards to pay the bills as they would be gone for longer than a month, and someone in charge of the sprinkler system. The "person left in charge" decided it was too much trouble to switch from the well to city water when needed so he just switched to city and left it there. They had a $23,000 water bill......yes, you read it correctly, that is thousand. Think that might get your attention??? |
Oh my goodness Carrie, somebody bring the smelling salts! I think I'm going to faint ... Were they able to negotiate with the city to reduce the bill, take out a 35 year loan to pay it or what? |
No, according to reports, they paid it plus an $800 late fee because the credit card company refused payment on that large amount. These people had more money than sense, IMHO, and I did not know them well. They no longer live there, and I miss their watering their vast lawn as my property is lower than theirs and I got all the run off. |
Well, at least they could afford it. Me? Well, I just hope somebody can raise bail money ... Oh I like that run off part. That used to happen here on both sides, but no more :-( |
Yowza! That makes $400 seem downright cheap. Still, I wish I had a well. I am going to look for rain barrels too. Dh is out in the garden now, ripping out tomatoes. |
We moved to a home that had in ground. It was one of my stipulations on houses when we moved. I always had sprinklers back in CA. In CA (desert) I watered 3x's a week. The bill was never over 100 bucks for 1/8 acre. My 1/4 acre here is usually over 200. I'd freak if it was 400. I guess those folks with the well should've been more specific with the caretaker. IMHO,from experience, rich folks frequently have more money than sense. They also tend to find the absolute cheapest route to any problem and end up with nincompoops who cost them 5x's as much as finding someone with a good reputation and paying a bit more...as a habit. I have no idea why this is. |

well in south bexar county - just next to wilson cty. my water bill was 378- yikes! I am changing tactics and hoping it helps, we also have cows though, so it is not all plants, and we have a swimming pool to add to the chaos. |

Is There a Nutmeg in the House?Along with M.F.K. Fisher and Julia Child, Elizabeth David changed the way we think about and prepare food. Her nine books, written with impeccable wit and considerable brilliance, helped educate the taste (and taste buds) of the postwar generation. Insisting on authentic recipes and fresh ingredients, she taught that food need not be complicated to be delicious. Elizabeth David, who died in 1992, was a very private person who seldom gave interviews. However, a 1984 collection of her journalism entitled An Omelet and a Glass of Wine greatly revealed David to her readers and is now considered the best food book written in the twentieth century. Now, nearly twenty years later, Viking will publish the sequel to that landmark book. Is There a Nutmeg in the House? contains material that has never appeared in previous collections. The emphasis throughout is on the practical aspects of cooking and eating and the book includes 150 recipes. These may come from around the world -- Mediterranean tomato consomme or classic English raspberry cream -- but they all have Elizabeth David's unmistakable touch. Delightful essays on her various likes and dislikes -- from the wonders of nutmeg to the "utterly useless" garlic press -- complete a unique picture of what for so long made David the most influential writer on food in the English language. Both immensely readable and wonderfully instructive, Is There a Nutmeg in the House? is a must-have for David fans and food lovers everywhere. |

We have an abiding interest in simplicity, especially simplicity when it comes to cooking. Sure, it's nice to own a proper range, but what is cooking if not the application of heat to food? And surely our ancestors didn't own 24,000 BTU stoves with electronic ignition. They cooked stuff in a pot, over a fire.
So when I found this clay and metal charcoal burner at Tap Phong, my favourite Chinatown kitchen store, I had to have it. Some years ago my parents had given me a Le Creuset cast iron wok as a present. As a wok it was useless – it takes way too long to react to heat – but I could see it work with the burner. $24.00 later I was on my way home, excited like a kid the day before Christmas.
I decided to make a curry, a curry I've made so many times that I am very familiar with it. This would allow me to learn what is essentially a whole new way to cook without having to worry about a recipe. Here's an approximate list of ingredients:
- Chicken thighs, skinned, bone in
- Potatoes, new, cut into quarters
- 1 can of tomatoes
- 2 onions, diced
- 3 gloves of garlic, minced
- 1 piece of ginger, about thumb sized, minced
- 1 tsp of ground turmeric
- 1 tsp of ground cumin
- 1 tsp of ground coriander
- 1 red chilli, or to taste
- 1 stick of cinnamon
- 1 bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
- a handful of curry leaves
Start by frying off the onion in a light olive oil, or ghee if you want to be authentic. I tend to choose olive oil for health reasons and I don't find it changes the flavour much. The first lesson I learned was that charcoal gets hot – way too hot. I had to let everything burn down until the heat was low enough not to instantly burn the diced onions.
Once that had happend I sweated the onions for ten minutes until translucent, then added the garlic and ginger. Add some charcoal to get the heat up again – almost instantly – then add the spices and fry for another minute or so. Add the tomatoes, crush with a fork and cook until the oil separates. Stir in half the fresh coriander
Add the chicken and the potatoes and add enough water or stock to barely cover. Cook until the chicken starts falling off the bone and the potatoes are done. Take off the heat, remove the bones and shred the meat. Stir in the remaining coriander and serve with rice.
Lessons learned:
- The one thing I was worried about the most – will I get enough heat – was never a problem. If anything, I had too much heat at my disposal. The clay of the burner acted like a heatsink, once it was hot it stayed that way for at least an hour.
- There's no precise control. In the end I just went with it, adding some water to cool things down when there was too much bubbling and then just let it reduce again.
- It will take time to master the burner, but I am already hooked. It is a very direct, basic way of cooking and the fact that I got a tasty curry out of it without any major mishaps on my first attempt tells me that there's much goodness to be had this way.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

As I wrote you in my previous email ,now I will write you something about
the elections from PSD.Mircea Geoana is the new president of PSD (the
Social-Democrat Party). Adrian Nastase and Ion Iliescu are his
subordinates now. Geoana has humiliated them both. He humiliated the first
because he lacked courage to run as Iliescu's opponent, just as he caked
the courage to win. He humiliated Iliescu himself because Geoana's victory
has been unexpected. During the Extraordinary Congress of PSD two days
ago, Iliescu was defeated by a PSD vice president that joined the party
only three years ago, unlike Iliescu, who would believe "the party is me"
till some 48 hours ago. Iliescu was defeated a PSD members who a few
months ago he called "a silly boy". For a while Iliescu thought the press
and the "alleged" civil society had got something against him, since he
was continually criticized. But in the last minute has Iliescu become
aware that nobody has got anything against him. In fact, nobody wants him
any more. Nobody wants him to rule the country, PSD or the foreground of
As for the present leader of PSD, he is probably unaware of what he has
got involved in. He got rid of Hrebenciuc and Dan Ioan Popescu who failed
to get elected vice presidents, but he has been left with Mitrea, Nastase
and a lot of local PSD bosses whom he can't keep under control. Geoana is
the diplomat par excellence. He has even managed to persuade the party
into the idea of democracy, which can bring it some more points in opinion
polls, due to a better image. But the problem is that it is not Geoana who
will actually rule the party, for in PSD it is not those who have official
positions that rule, but the influential ones we usually call "bosses."
Talk with you soon.

Isidore Adler was born in Brooklyn, NY on 25 December, 1916 and married Annie in 1941. He obtained his AB from Brooklyn College in 1942, BS from NYU 1944, MS and Ph.D. from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1947 and 1952 respectively. He worked for the US Customs lab and the US Signal Corps during 1937 through 1952, attaining 1st. Lt. rank. He then went to the US Geological Survey for 12 years. In the 60's, the US Space program was beginning to become very promising. Izzy then became a project leader and then a Senior Scientist with NASA in 1964. Izzy attained a PhD in Physical Chemistry. He also had a degree in Metrology. During WWII, Izzy was a meteorologist with a bombing group in Italy during WWII. He was a senior scientist with NASA during the entire Apollo (Moon) program and was one of the selected people throughout the world to analyze the first "moon rocks". He sent experiments with the Apollo 15 and 16 which for the first time in mankind's history did a chemical analysis of the back of the Moon. By the way, this is a picture of Izzy at camp in 1978 after his lecture on the exploration of the Moon.
Izzy wrote and published three books:
Izzy published roughly 100 scientific articles over his career, was recipient of many awards for his scientific accomplishments, acted as and associate editor on two scientific jounals, a tour lecturer for the American Chemical Society as well as numerous invited lectures, Faculty member at the Institute on Man and Science and a Visiting lecturer/resident at the National Youth Science Camp.
Izzy loved teaching and being with young people. The University of Maryland offered him a full professorship with Tenure after the moon landing. Izzy assumed the position of Head of the Geochemistry Division. He retired from NASA and then spent thirteen years imparting his knowledge, humor, and ideologies to his adoring and eager students. The Public Television Series "The World of Chemistry" was directed by Izzy. With a team of distinguished scientists, it was funded by the Annenberg Foundation at the University of Maryland. It first aired in September of 1990, only six months after he succumbed on 26 March, 1990 to the cancer diagnosed four and a half years earlier as terminal within two years. All the income from the sales of this series goes to U. of Md. and the Annenberg Foundation.

LAS VEGAS-The Summer Las Vegas Market heated up as temperatures hovered past the 100-degree mark.
Many tabletop newcomers to Vegas said they see the potential in this market.
"I think this is going to become a major, major destination for gift buying," said Kathy Pitts, president of Skyros Designs, which showcased its Villa Beleza dinnerware. "It's growing here and I'm very pleased to have something on the West Coast," said William Hardy, sales director for Vagabond House, which entered the dinnerware category with a new stoneware collection.
Vendors praised the hospitality and friendliness of the International Market Centers staff here, whom they said provided a very warm welcome.
GuildMaster brought more transitional furniture pieces to market, with clean, simple lines. They included different hutch choices for furniture bases, in a gray finishes, with a lighter, blond one which will be available soon as well. All of its furniture is handpainted and handcarved.
Brand-new company Mitchell Black made an impressive debut here. The Chicago-based company transforms archival etchings into customized wall art, stationery and tabletop, giving new life and a new perspective to classic designs.
IMAX's color themes at market included indigo products in one of its vignettes, and Glimmer, with pinks and golds, in another. One new furniture item was the Convertible Table, which can be easily converted from a book shelf to a table or vice versa. The Essentials by Connie group now has two other colorways—taupe and black—which can be mixed into its other existing color groups.
Some familiar faces are making their Las Vegas debuts with new companies at this market. Stefanie Lucas, formerly of Rowe Furniture, is now the president of HTL International's Domicil brand in North America. The company is unveiling a new contemporary collection, Muse, at the market.
Paul Watson made his market debut as the president of Christopher Guy. Watson was formerly the vice president of the Las Vegas Design Center. Christopher Guy introduced the luxurious Mademoiselle Collection.
In its new 30,000 square-foot showroom, Surya debuted a new indoor/outdoor collection that comprises coordinating rugs, pillows, poufs and wall art, all of which is made in the U.S. The collection has almost 130 pillows. The company also featured its accent furniture in one area of the showroom, as well as debuted a new high-end printed rug line called Bluebellgray, which is machine-made of wool and includes ombre and painterly effects.
Rizzy changed the color creel for its Sorrento collection to utilize golds, grays and blues. "It added warmth," said Teresa Parris, creative and visual manager. "It's more retail friendly now." Patterns include patchwork, contemporary and medallion designs. Another new line, Cosmo, is a handtufted polyester shag with thin and thick yarns with such patterns as stripes, fun florals and solids.
Magisso, the Finnish design company, introduced black terracotta bar accessories. The wine cooler, carafe, champagne cooler and ice bucket keep beverages cold for hours and look stylish while doing so … Jonathan Adler introduced its mirrored Delphine bar (the surprise lies in the turquoise interior) … Abbyson Living entered the casual furniture category with outdoor collections including Aspen, a scaled-down line for apartments and condominiums.

Making the Rounds
The "trillion-dollar" coin proposal hit big in the last few months, even garnering a smile, a wink, and a nod from Paul Krugman. The idea was for the government to mint a high face-value platinum hunk of token money and sell it to the Federal Reserve — to weasel around congressional approval for raising the debt limit.
Something very much like it was floated by Populist and inflationist Bo Gritz back in the early '90s, when he was running for the presidency.
Though the current president has dismissed the notion, people like it so much — perhaps because of its "just so goofy it might work" aspect — that the whole meme is still making the rounds.
As a technical matter, a one trillion dollar coin would probably be too unwieldy. If actually given the go-ahead, the Treasury and the U.S. Mint would likely opt for smaller amounts, cranking out a batch of them — a big batch, to cover the federal government's rising debt.
My modest proposal? Mint coins at the legal tender amount of $666 million each.
The effigy of Liberty could sport a 666 tattoo on her forehead, and a neat UPC symbol on her wrist, which she could hold up instead of a torch.
That would indicate, by commonly understood symbology, just how dangerous America's debt really is, and how anti-American the whole idea of the high face-value coinage debt ceiling workaround would be.
Another way to go would be to carve each coin out of coprolite. Another fitting symbol for the last days of our fiat currency.
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.
