Man Eats Cocaine From Brother's Butt, Dies
Police: Man Trying To Hide Drug Evidence In Squad Car
POSTED: 7:13 am PST December 20, 2011
UPDATED: 7:18 am PST December 20, 2011
A South Carolina man's brother died after police said he was forced to eat cocaine hidden in his brother's backside.
Both brothers were taken into custody on allegations they had drugs in their car.
But police told Charleston, S.C., TV station WCIV there were additional drugs hidden in 23-year-old Deangelo Mitchell's backside.
Officers said Deangelo Mitchell convinced his brother, 20-year-old Wayne Mitchell, to swallow the ounce of cocaine to hide the evidence. He died soon afterward.
"It's sickening," North Charleston Police Chief Jon Zumalt told WCIV. "I got upset when I saw the thing. I was pretty shocked on it."
Deangelo Mitchell already bonded out of jail on the drug charge, but now police are looking for him again on charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Accelerated Charge, Photons, Feynman Diagrams
Name: Frank Status: other Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
I am providing help to a high school student in an Advanced Placement physics class who asked me a question I cannot answer. He notes that the concept of acceleration of electrons is critical to the classical electrodynamics description of radiation from moving charge. But he asks why it seems that the concept of acceleration does not enter into the quantum electrodynamics description of photon emission from moving electrons. He points to a simple Feynman diagram for an electron emitting a photon and does not recognize how electron acceleration enters the picture. Neither can I.
Feynman diagrams do not show how acceleration enters the picture, or any other details of how electrodynamics works. Their purpose is to show you which interactions between particles have to be accounted for, not to do the actual accounting.
Many of the expressions used in quantum mechanics look much like their counterparts in classical physics, but in place of a quantity like acceleration, you will have the expectation value of an operator that represents that quantity, integrated over a complete set of the states the system under study can be in. You do not very often see the actual expressions because they are long and involved, and specific to a particular system of particles. Authors feel they will not add enough to a student's understanding to justify the space they'll take up in a book. But some introductory quantum mechanics texts do have examples of the full expressions.
-- Tim Mooney
Beamline Controls & Data Acquisition Group
Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Lab.
Well, that is because it does not. Classical mechanics and electrodynamics is concerned with trajectories, velocity, acceleration, and such; the differential equations characterizing classical mechanics are founded on time-derivatives of position. Quantum mechanics is not. The differential equations governing quantum mechanics are constructed around time and space derivatives of a wave function, which is related to a particle's position but not quite the same thing. Energy, momentum, and position are meaningful quantities to quantum mechanics, but velocity, acceleration, and force are not, really. (You can get them in an average sense as derivatives of expectation values of observables, but they are not fundamental.) Emission of a photon is a strictly quantum process.
I realize that this is not a complete answer, but I do not have a very clear way to explain interaction of matter with light. Since your student is already studying QED, he probably is aware of the basic ideas behind it. I am just pointing out that there is no reason to expect a role for acceleration in a quantum theory.
Richard Barrans
Department of Physics and Astronomy
University of Wyoming
Didn't the diagram show the electron moving through space, then seems to veer off at a different angle? This dog-leg, this quick bend from one angle to another of the electron's "world line", its flight through time and space, is acceleration. Sometimes right at this point people draw a little scriggly line, showing the resulting photon.
By the way, are you aware of a great set of Internet steaming videos on Feynman's work? Internet search on Feynman QED lectures, he gave 4 in a series, in New Zealand, in the 1980's. You can watch them on your computer. They follow his very nice little book QED, about a 100 page book with no math, easy to read, and costs only about $6 or so. It is a good book to give a high school student, though perhaps they will not appreciate it completely.
Steve Ross
Well, the acceleration happens as a result of net force applied to the electron, specifically magnetic force, which is a subset of electromagnetism, so I suspect it would be denoted as a multiplicity of lower-energy photons colliding with the electron. Followed soon by one high-energy photon emitting. Somebody please tell me if I am right. I am also not clear how an electron gets to be a non-linear element, up-converting multiple photon low-frequency input to higher-frequency single-photon output.

Canonical Stops Funding Kubuntu Development
According to Jonathan Riddell's recent blog post, Canonical will cease funding Riddell's development work on Kubuntu as of the 12.04 release.
Riddell says, "Canonical wants to treat Kubuntu in the same way as the other community flavors such as Edubuntu, Lubuntu, and Xubuntu, and support the projects with infrastructure. This is a big challenge to Kubuntu of course and KDE as well. The practical changes are I won't be able to work on KDE bits in my work time after 12.04 and there won't be paid support for versions after 12.04. This is a rational business decision, Kubuntu has not been a business success after 7 years of trying, and it is unrealistic to expect it to continue to have financial resources put into it."
Without funding support, Riddell will be able to work on the project only in his free time, so development tasks will require greater participation of the Kubuntu community.
In his post, Riddell says, "I have been trying for the last 7 years to create a distro to show the excellent KDE technology in its best light, and we have a lovely community now built around mostly that vision, but it has not taken over the world commercially and shows no immediate signs of doing so despite awesome successes like the world's largest Linux deployment."

Ugh. I feel asleep at like 10 last night during the chat. I hope I didn't miss anything good. And I'm sorry if you all were thought i was rude. I just fell asleep and it extied me out of the chat. On thursday's chat I'll try not to sleep. haha
once again I had the chat screen up for an hour, and kept refreshing and nothing ever came through....maybe someone can pm me to figure out what is wrong
is there something that i have to download in addition to opening the chat screen?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rebel!
Facts about Rebel
- Breed: Shih Tzu Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Rebel's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
My name is Rebel. I came to Mackenzies from the Allegan County Puppy Mill seizure. My D.O.B. is 1/26/11. I am really sort of a shy guy. I love other dogs and live in a run with a couple, but I am shy of humans. I am getting better though. I am discovering all kinds of new things since I came here. I have met several people and they are trying to be around me quite a bit so I get over my fear. I think I am coming along well, if I do say so myself. I will need a family that has plenty of time to visit me and get to know me. I hear baby steps is the key with puppy mill dogs. Lots of patience. If that sounds like you, please come and see me soon.
For safety's sake, we are looking for homes with physical fenced in areas.
Please fill out our online adoption survey at www.mackenzies.info
Other Pets at Mackenzie's Animal Sanctuary
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rebel, a Lake Odessa Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in Lake Odessa, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Lake Odessa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lake Odessa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Lake Odessa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lake Odessa paves the way for another one to be saved.

The LEGO Movie Synopsis
The LEGO® Movie is the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure. The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet (Chris Pratt) an ordinary, rules- following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Relax, charismaniacs, this wasn't that Jesus. No, this guy had allegedly ridden his bike all the way from Mexico City to take part in the 2004 U.S. Air Guitar regionals at the hi-dive. The annual competition is that big a deal. Who knew?
I certainly didn't. When I was tapped to be a judge, I figured an air-guitar contest would be worth a chuckle. I was completely unprepared for the packed house I found at the hi-dive, and it made me wonder what qualified me to assess anyone's air-guitar prowess. When a film crew documenting the event asked just that, I couldn't come up with anything better than this: Since I'd seen my share of air guitarists and had even sliced the air with Pete Townshend-like moves a time or two, I knew what it took to throw down.
As the masses continued to file in, Matt LaBarge, wearing the stern look of a major-league umpire, tried to explain the judges' role. "You'll be grading on a skating scale from four to six," he instructed. Needless to say, I haven't cashed in too many bum credits watching ice-skating and had no idea what he was talking about. So I consulted with my fellow dignitaries on the panel -- Jeff Davenport and Erin Roberts from Radio 1190 -- but they weren't able to shed any more light. Still, this was just an air-guitar competition. No one could be taking it that seriously, right?
Au contraire, mon fr�re. When I stepped outside the bar to get some fresh air, I saw a contestant being interviewed by the camera crew. Clad in a scraggly black wig, an Iron Maiden Piece of Mind T-shirt, striped spandex tucked into his socks, and dirty white running sneakers, dude was as serious as the bulge in his pants. Forget sticking a pair of socks in the briefs to augment the package; this cat had shoved an entire sock drawer in his. "I'll give these bunch of wankers a run for their money," he said in a shoddy, faux-British accent, looking directly into the camera. "They can kiss my bollocks and suck my arse."
Alrighty, then. As I waited for the competition to begin, I couldn't decide what was funnier: the concept, the contestants or Rocky Mountain News reporter Erika Gonzales, who'd been dispatched to cover the event. I eavesdropped as she conducted a straight-faced interview with one of the entrants, Captain Metal, a pirate who was outfitted in a homemade cardboard suit of armor. Tough gig: What questions do you ask a dude whose get-up makes Maris the Great look plain? But God bless her, she worked her way around the room with the investigative diligence of Woodward and Bernstein.
Finally, around 10 p.m., Magic Cyclops, the host of the proceedings, made his way to the stage and kicked things off. He asked us to remove our hats for the Pledge of Allegiance and then held up a sizable sticker of Old Glory and played Jimi Hendrix's ear-shattering version of "The Star-Spangled Banner." It was breathtaking.
What unfolded next, though, was a mutant hybrid of Heavy Metal Parking Lot and This Is Spinal Tap. One after another, the thirteen contestants strutted their stuff, each employing a different strategy. Some, like Gooch, Ultimate Showdown and Air Dan Knight, relied on either the shtick of songs or their outfits. Others, like Ryan Striker, had brought props in hopes of wowing the judges and the crowd. Still others -- like Bjorn Toroque, in his turquoise leather jacket with leopard-print lapels, and the mono-monikered Keith, who bore more than a passing resemblance to Diggy Diamond with his skull-like face paint, black Speedo and spiked belt -- had the complete package: image, presentation and technical ability. But ultimately, one participant was so goddamned convincing that he blew everyone else away. When Jesse Pulley (aka Demon Strait) played "The Queen Is in Love," by Yngwie Malmsteen, complete with sweeps and whammy dives, the choice became a no-brainer.
As we unscientifically tabulated our final scores, some guy came up to the table and said, "It's an air-guitar competition; it's all about the gimmicks." Much as I hate to be a master of the obvious, he was right: It was only an air-guitar competition. And even though none of us knew what the hell we were doing, we knew what we liked. So Demon was crowned the winner, an honor that earned him a trip to Los Angeles to compete in the U.S. finals on June 17. If he wins there, he'll fly to Oulu, Finland, in August for the World Championship. After Demon and others in the top five were named, all of the entrants went back to the stage for an air-guitar gang bang, an orgiastic rendition of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World."

DBZ Guitars spent countless hours refining their signature custom pickups. The R15 provides hot output while retaining singing highs, aggressive harmonics, and most importantly, clarity and tone.The N9C provides late-'50s, vintage-correct, humbucker sounds with arm and crystalline clean tones. Full and bright distorted tones. The R15S makes minor modifications to the R15 for a different feel while retaining output and the R11 provides less aggressive, but punchy, more classic gain tones.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASESeptember 27, 2000Department of HousingPreservation & DevelopmentContact:Carol Abrams(212) 863-5176New York City Housing PartnershipCommunity Preservation CorporationContact:Rubenstein Associates, Inc.Bud Perrone (212) 843-8068Cheri Fein (212) 843-8019
(Harlem - September 27, 2000) Elegant, affordable living in one of Harlem's premier neighborhoods was celebrated today when new homeowners, community activists, and a unique public/private partnership of lenders, developers and city officials opened the doors to spacious new condominiums on 117th and 118th Streets and Morningside Avenue.
Six adjoining buildings have been combined into one complex. The classic facades of these distinguished five-story brick buildings have been completely restored, and the fully renovated interiors include 49 beautiful apartments, many with views of Morningside Park. This remarkable transformation -- from abandoned and dilapidated vacant properties to an elegant, yet affordable development -- will soon be occupied by new homeowners. In keeping with program guidelines, the homes have been purchased by families with annual incomes between $32,000 to $70,950.
The 49 apartments include eight one-bedroom, 33 two-bedroom and nine three-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 650 to 1,150 square feet. All have new mechanical systems, layouts, and finishes, including a laundry room, walk-in closets, hardwood floors, and spacious bathrooms and kitchens. Entryways are secure with audio and/or visual intercoms, and the complex contains upscale lobbies, carpeted public hallways, a community room, and private landscaped rear courtyard. The buildings are handicapped accessible.
A one-bedroom averages $68,OOO, a two-bedroom averages $112,000, a two-bedroom duplex averages $145,000 and a three-bedroom averages $137,000.
Morningside Parc was created through the Partnership New Homes Program, New York City's largest new construction program. It is an innovative public/private initiative of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the New York City Housing Partnership. It is the second stage ofa three-stage plan by a partnership that includes the Harlem Community Development Corporation (HCDC) and The Community Preservation Corporation (CPC).
When completed, all the vacant buildings in a two-block square will have been renovated. The third phase of the plan, involving 48 condos, will commence early next year. Upon completion, 117th Street will be almost completely comprised of homeowners, and the general area will include a significant number of new condominiums and renovated brownstones.
CPC and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company provided construction financing of $2.033 million each. HCDC and Galaxy General Contracting were the developers of the project. As community sponsor, HCDC also assisted in marketing as well as outreach to the community. The New York State Affordable Housing Corporation (AHC) provided 890,000 in subsidies for Morningside Parc. New York City, through HPD, contributed the buildings and an additional $490,000 in subsidies.
"It is fitting that we celebrate Morningside Parc in September, which is Homeownership Month in New York City," said HPD Commissioner Jerilyn Perine. "Along with our many partners, we are helping residents of Central Harlem attain their dream of owning a home while further stabilizing and preserving this vibrant community."
"AHC is committed to providing financial resources that help hard working New Yorkers become homeowners. These grants are just one example of how the agencies are carrying out Governor Pataki's commitment to create affordable housing in New York State," said Stephen J. Hunt, President and CEO ofAHC. "Affordable housing is the cornerstone of a strong community. These grants are investments in the future of New York City and will have positive social and economic benefits for the homeowners and the Harlem community for years to come."
''Over the past 24 years, CPC has invested in the preservation and development of more than 5,000 homes in the Harlem community. Our commitment to the renaissance of Harlem continues with the creation of Morningside Parc apartments. We are proud to have been a participant, along with our partners, in the ongoing work to restore not only Central Harlem but the entire Harlem community," said CPC President and CEO Michael D. Lappin.
"Morningside Parc is symbolic of the new dawn that is breaking for much of Central Harlem. This rejuvenation is due in large part to the dedication and efforts of community leaders as well as the ability of the public and private sectors to work with them to enact positive change," added New York City Housing Partnership President and CEO Charles Brass.
"I am delighted that Morningside Parc is completed at last and that it has turned out so beautifully. Not only were we able to reach a broad range of first-time homebuyers, but the project demonstrates that beauty, affordability and quality construction can be complementary," said HCDC President Diane Phillpotts.
"Metlife is committed to creating affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families all around the country. Morningside Parc is a prime example. It will serve as an anchor in the continued revitalization of Harlem, and we take great pride in having been a partner in this important initiative since its inception," said Dennis White, Vice President, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
HPD's mission is to promote quality housing and viable neighborhoods for New Yorkers. The department is the nation's largest municipal housing development agency. Since Fiscal Year l994, the agency has completed the construction or rehabilitation of 65,000 units of affordable housing. To request a homeownership kit from HPD, call (212) 863-8000.
The Community Preservation Corporation is a mortgage lender specializing in the financing of affordable housing throughout New York and New Jersey. Since 1974, it has financed over 70,000 units for an investment ofmore than $2.2 billion.
The New York City Housing Partnership works to promote development of affordable housing, revitalization of neighborhoods and expanded participation by local residents and entrepreneurs in the economic benefits ofcommunity development. The Housing Partnership was established in 1982 by the City's premier business and civic organization, the New York City Partnership, and has constructed or rehabilitated more than 20,000 units of housing.

New Song: Rider |
Hi, We have a production company that has volunteered to make us a video for Rider. These people all work on videos for major rock stars, Maroon 5, John Mayer etc. However the video will have some costs just to make, and they don't want to have to pay for it out of their own pockets, and the band is broke. Throughout the years, we have given out tons of free cd samplers, free downloads, countless free charity shows, and since we started asking for help on this video 2 months ago we have raised a total of $45. That's it....three people. This is heartbreaking. If you donate $15 towards our video we'll mail you a signed copy of the album. For $50 we'll mail you an album, posters stickers a DVD, basically all the swag we have. For $100 we'll write and record a custom song for you, whatever you want, a jingle, a song for your girlfriend, a song making fun of your best friend, whatever. It's hard for us to ask for help. Please donate, we're not making any money off this deal, actually we'll be giving the CD's and merch away for free, and I'm paying for the postage myself. The album is great, you'll love it. We don't need to raise a huge sum of money, just enough to cover the costs so we can have a cool professional video. Here is the link: Thanks for your support, Soul of the River | |||||

Where does the money come from?
How is the budget financed?
The EU budget:
- is funded chiefly (99%) from the EU's own resources, supplemented by other sources of revenue
- is based on the principle that expenditure must be matched by revenue
- has in-built schemes to compensate certain EU countries
- Own resources account for 99% of the budget. They are not allowed to exceed 1.23% of the EU's gross national income (GNI).
- The remaining 1% of budget revenue comes from other sources of income.
Own resources
Own resources provide the EU's main revenue. There are three kinds of own resources (figures below are forecasts for 2011):
Traditional own resources
- mainly customs duties on imports from outside the EU and sugar levies.
EU governments keep 25% to cover the cost of collection.
In detail: Public finances – page 238
own resource from value added tax (VAT)
A standard percentage is levied on the harmonised VAT base of each EU country. The VAT resource accounts for around €14bn.
The VAT base to be taxed is capped at 50% of GNI for each country. This rule is intended to prevent less prosperous countries having to pay a disproportionate amount (in such countries consumption – and so VAT – tend to account for a higher percentage of national income).
In detail: Public finances – page 239
own resource based on gross national income (GNI)
A standard percentage is levied on the GNI of each EU country. It is used to balance revenue and expenditure, i.e. to fund the part of the budget not covered by other sources of income.
Although designed simply as a balancing system, this has become the largest source of revenue – €92.7bn in 2010.In detail : Public finances – page 241
Other revenue
The budget also has other sources of revenue, e.g.:
- taxes on EU staff salaries
- contributions from non-EU countries to certain programmes
- fines on companies for breaching competition laws, etc.
In detail : Public finances – page 245
Revenue and expenditure – balanced-budget requirement
When the EU Council and the European Parliament approve the annual EU budget, total revenue must equal total expenditure.
In practice, however, actual revenue and expenditure often differ from the estimates. There is usually a surplus, which is used to reduce EU countries' contributions to the budget for the following year.
National compensation mechanisms
In the past, some countries felt that they were paying too much towards the budget, compared to other countries.
Measures were taken to correct (compensate) these imbalances, including:
- the 'UK rebate' – the UK is reimbursed by 66% of the difference between its contribution and what it receives back from the budget (worth about €4bn in 2010). The calculation is based on its GNI and VAT
- lump-sum payments to the Netherlands and Sweden
- reduced VAT call rates for the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Austria.
The cost of the UK rebate is divided among EU member countries in proportion to the share they contribute to the EU's GNI. However, since 2002 this has been limited to 25% of its normal value for Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Sweden, who considered their relative contributions to the budget to be too high. This cost is shared by the other 22 EU members.

Starting on October 1, 2011, the Chester County Council on Addictive Diseases (COAD) will no longer be participating in the Chester County DUI ARD program. The Chester County Adult Probation and Parole Department will be taking over these duties. The probation department will provide Alcohol Highway Safety School (AHSS), Court Reporting Network (CRN) evaluations and referrals for drug and alcohol evaluations to offenders.
I always recommend to my clients that they attend their CRN evaluation and AHSS in advance of their ARD court date because Chester County will waive the requirement that you perform 50 hours community service if these tasks are performed within 60 days of the ARD hearing date. My advice is to get these items completed as soon as possible unless you or your attorney have reason to believe your ARD application will be denied. Performing 50 hours of community service is hard to do on top of all the rigors of daily life. Continue reading →

to other crafters. I've only been a member for a week and it has
already paid for itself. One of my best shows canceled and I was
able to replace it thanks to your listing. Had I not been a
member I would not have been able to get the info I needed in time to
meet the other shows deadline and would not have had no income for that
week. Kudos."
Bobbie Shepherd of Fort Walton Beach, Florida

festivalnet. It has really helped us in our quest for shows
across the country."

"Your site has more event listings
details that any I've seen. Well worth the money. Thanks!"
Richard Westbrook of

"Just wanted to let you know that we
really do appreciate your excellent service. It is so
much easier to search for shows online rather than having to consult multiple
show directories. Keep up the good work."

Haddow of Madison,
"Your service is exemplary and it is
a pleasure to refer you to others."
Roger Way of Raleigh,

"...Your web-site is
outstanding! Not
only is it 150% informative, but considerable thought, as well as
effort, went into the planning of this web-site. Not only is it
informative and factual - but it answers all the questions an artist
such as myself has about an event, and is totally user-friendly.
Plus the fact that you can sort the information on-line and even export
to your own personal file is absolutely priceless! I couldn't
have done a better job of setting up this site if I had done it myself
- and I have worked on the most sophisticated computers/software for
over 20 years! Congrats on a job well done. I will never
subscribe to another festival planner - I simply don't need to! I
intend on recommending your business/web-site to every artist/crafter
that I come in contact with. No need to say "keep up the good
work" - because apparently you already know what you're doing!"
Debbie Carr of
Indianapolis, Indiana
A search engine that
we can really use on your database. Congratulations and kudos for
all of your hard work. I've been asking for this for years.
This makes my job a LOT easier without having to spend hours and hours
harvesting festival information. THANKS!"
Debbie at World Talent

"This website
is a score! We are new to the food vendor business and have gotten so
much info from your website. We have gotten responses from many
festivals already... We are so glad we found you online."

Tambourine and Ukulele
Taking portraits of my friends with their tambourine and ukulele at Island Park and Nichols Arboretum in Ann Arbor. We had a lot of fun, and it was nice having a musical accompaniment as I work behind the cameras. The rest of the people at The Arb weren't sure what to thing of us.

Trespass beats the best Cab Francs from Napa and Washington State!
In a blind tasting of big name Cabernet Francs, the little Trespass winery (yes only 150 cases produced of this vintage) blew away a lot more expensive and highly rated wines, including: Hourglass ($150.00), Cadence, Andrew Will ($75.00), Derencourt ($140.00), Realm ($90.00), Pride ($75.00), Cayuse ($85.00), Del Dotto ($90.00), Crocker Starr ($70.00), Reverie ($60.00) and Wolf Family ($75.00). Trespass was #1 by a long shot.
Another interesting note was that the Trespass average price point that was guessed at $68.00 by the 40 member tasting group! All of the other wines scored lower and were ranked with lower average prices too! For instance Del Dotto's average price came in at $33.00 (a good $57.00 below its retail price), Pride at $31.00 (a good $44.00 below its retail price), as did the wines from Derencourt and Hourglass! I am a big proponent of blind tastings and this latest tasting is no surprise.
Trespass 2009 Cabernet Franc, Estate St. Helena, Napa Valley
An incredible follow-up vintage. Kirk Venge (yes, Nils Venge's son – Plumpjack, Stag's Leap – Nils was THE FIRST 100 POINT winemaker from California, Saddleback, Vegne, etc) does not skip a beat with this latest release. It is beyond awesome. I would almost rate this is the best Cabernet Franc in the Napa Valley, but who am I to say. This wine has an amazing dense purple hue and a touch of anise and black currant on the nose. Extraction would make you think it is Syrah, yet amazingly elegant this wine offers up a storm of black fruit alongside its full-bodied armor. Great balance, with the right amount of fruit and acid. The wine's finishes with a long silkiness.

Nevertheless, Lane adds, in one way, Sea-stedt's bugs have worked too well. Not only have they ravaged the knapweed, but they've also infested an area that was previously bug-free. "That's unfortunate," Lane says. "We don't have something to objectively compare it to."
Cindy Owsley, Boulder County weed-management coordinator, remembers when four species of knapweed-eating insects were released on a particularly sensitive acre of Walker Ranch back in the '80s. Ten years later, that one acre had become a hundred infested acres. "Now we have a significant problem," Owsley says. "And as a result, we have to use more herbicide."
Eight years ago, Owsley used bugs to control musk thistle. Although the bugs worked, they worked slowly, she says. When landowners gazed out their windows at what appeared to be healthy weeds, they complained -- and when she asked them to be patient, they complained even louder.
"I've been the subject of ridicule in that area ever since," she says. "If people look outside and see diffuse knapweed growing, and we say we're controlling it with insects only, it's going to be the same scenario. That's intolerable from a neighboring landowner's perspective. We feel a strong responsibility to be good neighbors."
According to Ron Stewart, a Boulder County commissioner, the commissioners support Seastedt's efforts. That's why they loaned him the 157 acres in the first place. But weed managers do not have the luxury of waiting five years for insects to become established, he says; the county cannot risk losing more land to diffuse knapweed. Which is why insects will probably continue to be "one more tool in the tool box" alongside herbicides.
"I've looked at his site. I've looked at the site where we have sprayed. And there's a lot less knapweed on the area we sprayed," Stewart says. "His project, to this point at least, does not prove you can do weed control without using multiple tools. We believe biocontrols have a very significant place in weed management, but I don't think he has proven that he can do it yet without the use of herbicides. "
Seastedt has heard that criticism before.
He welcomes it.
"Hey," he says, "I live and die on data. If I had failed with this, I was prepared to tell the world. But so far, it looks pretty good."
Seastedt realizes that insects alone will not stop diffuse knapweed, and he knows bugs do not work in all circumstances and in all conditions, including alongside roadways. But if used with other methods, such as hand-pulling or mowing, insects can keep the weed in check -- and with less damage to the environment and the pocketbook.
"For this species, I'm completely convinced that insects are less risky than chemicals," he says.
After four years, Seastedt's getting closer to the answer. And with weed warriors having fought the knapweed war for so long, that's "major good news," he says. "We've tried something that had been out there but not been tried in this way before. So far, we've potentially been lucky."
Seastedt doesn't worry that the imported beetles, weevils and flies will devour other plants. The feeding and reproductive habits of the five bugs are tied to the unique characteristics of knapweed, he says. But just in case, his researchers are keeping a close eye on the bugs. They've even sprayed knapweed juice on other plants to entice them.
"So far, the bugs are behaving themselves," Seastedt says. "I suppose anything is possible. Mutation happens. But there are 5,000 native insects that have the same potential to mutate. All we're doing is adding four more species that may do something weird, like suddenly decide to eat asphalt, but that's such a low probability that I don't think it's much of a risk. All these guys will probably do is go in search of diffuse knapweed until they die trying to find it. The worst-case scenario is that they'll munch on some distant relative of knapweed, like an aster. Anything beyond that is pure science fiction."
No matter how successful his experiments, Seastedt doesn't believe diffuse knapweed will ever be completely eradicated. In fact, he doesn't think weed managers should even try. At best, they can only hope to reduce the weed to a level that allows native plants and grasses to return.
"What I'd like to see is a prairie dominated by the vegetation we want to be there: native plants given the maximum potential to express diversity," Seastedt says. "If that means 1 or 2 percent cover by diffuse knapweed, that wouldn't bother me at all. It would be just like the dandelion. And if we can get knapweed to be like a dandelion, then we've done our job."

15th October, DAY 15
So, we went to AK today for our second and last time. I do like AK seeing all the different animals and off course EE and FotLK!! We didn't leave before our normal and routine chat with Melissa all though, it was very short as we did catch the 8.30am bus as opposed to the 9am one – because I wanted t go early and ride EE again!! It was also another great sunny day – I can't believe how good we have had it!!
We had a strategy planned for when we got there too – After going through the turn-styles and having our photo taken again in front of the tree, Ann went left to Harambe, Africa, and sorted the FPs for Kilimanjaro Safaris, whilst I went right towards Asia and headed for EE. The queue was moving fast and so I was on within 5 minutes of joining the line of waiting people. Once I'd ridden EE, I headed across to Africa to catch up with Ann.
We still had 40 minutes before we could use our FPs and so headed up to Rafiki's Planet Watch. We didn't spend too much time here, but we did spend some time looking for Hidden Mickey's in the Mural on the wall as you enter the main building. We were told there are 27 of them – I don't know how true this is? We actually found around 15-20 of them including a very, very small one on a fly!!
Once done, it was back on the train to Harambe and time to use our FPs. It was quite a good Safari as, even though it was very sunny, there was a breeze and so we saw plenty of animals. Time marches on and once done, we headed to Tusker House for a Chicken Sandwich each and an early lunch. We planned it well as it soon filled up and our table was snapped up as we were leaving!!
To allow our lunchtime to settle, we went for a gentle walk around the 'Pangani Forest Trails' followed by the 'Maharajah Jungle Trek' in Africa. We gave the 'Flights of Wonder' show a miss, as it is not our sort of thing, all though I do like birds of prey. The winds had dropped and because of this, the tigers were all sleeping in the shade. We did, however manage to get some photos of them – just not the best!! (Tigers are my favourite animals of all time).
It was now time to head back over the bridge towards Camp Minnie-Mickey. But, before going there, we went to see ITTBAB one more time. We entered Camp Minnie Mickey and took the usual photos of the characters by the water's edge – except for Daisy, as she wasn't with Donald's Nephews!! I wonder where she has gone? It was a little over half an hour before the 2pm showing of the FotLK and so we decided to queue for this showing.
We both absolutely love FotLK and now that it is totally enclosed, I agree with Melissa, that the lighting and sound is ten times better!! After the Handycam playing up – again – earlier, I managed to record the whole show with no heads in my way!!
FotLK over, we headed out and straight across to the 'Greeting Trails'. First we went to see Mickey on the far left trail. We were going to wait for Minnie next, but the queue to see her was far too long and we weren't prepared to wait!! Skipping Minnie, we queued to see Goofy, followed finally by the best, Donald on the far right trail where the queues weren't long at all!!
Once done, it was back towards 'Discovery Island' where we perched ourselves on the wall – in the exact same spot as last time – to watch the Jammin Jungle Parade. We had around 45 minutes to spare and so took in turns to go for a wonder and a browse through 'The Outfitters'!! The parade was as good as ever and we were singing along to it – not very well as we both can't sing, but we were singing!!
That concluded our trip to AK for the day – and for this trip. We headed out of the park and back to the bus parking area, where we didn't have to wait long for a bus to take us back to our hotel. Once there, we chilled out for a while before going over to DTD to buy a few things. Shopping done, it was back over to the hotel for something to eat: We were going to eat at 'Earl of Sandwich' but the queue was very, very long!!
It was just before 8pm by this time and we had a call from Melissa catching up on all the latest news from us. We both had a club sandwich to eat and a hot drink before I wrote this and Ann read her book!! Tomorrow is our final visit to Epcot where we still have a few things we want to do and a few shops we want to go in – so until then - bye, bye!!

I got this in a swap and I must say I LOVE it!! It doesn't leave my lips looking stark white, but it gives them a kind of dewy sheen that looks very fresh and pretty. Great for those extremely low matinence/lazy days we all have once in a while. Love the minty tingle too! Definitely repurchasing this!

The packaging could be better as I could not twist extra product back into the tube. I think it is partly because of the thin tube, a thicker tube like the regular Burt's lip balm I have (and do not have the same problem with) would be better. As for the formula (I have this in Radiance), it is way too creamy; feels weird on my lips (b/c of the menthol); and melts (probably another reason why I can't twist the product down). I would recommend skipping these lip shimmers and trying the regular pomegranate or mango lip balms for those interested, the mango one is the most moisturizing. If you're looking for a bit of color the pomegranate one adds a nice pink color to lips (of course it will only show up on light skin tones with light/medium pigmentation on lips).

I bought this on a trip after some pretty long-haul flights (from Australia to the US and then traveling within the US), my lips were feeling pretty miserable and dried out and the shop I went to didn't have the regular Burt's Bees balm. I thought this would be more neutral than the coloured shades, but actually it looks a bit silly on me. The whitey shimmer is kind of childish looking in my opinion and just doesn't suit my lip colour very well. I don't think I'd buy this colour again, I might try one of the other shades to see if they suit me more but I'm probably better off just sticking to their regular balms.

this does not moisturize at all. the shimmer is really concentrated. it tingles quite a bit. I like putting this on top of a moisturizing lip balm then putting a clear gloss on top of it all. It can get a little frosty looking if you apply too much

I didn't find this moisturizing AT ALL. It was basically like putting waxy glitter on your lips. I don't find the look appealing. It's quite like something a 5 year old would buy in a Barbie makeup kit. Very young looking. Insanely glittery. But, if that's what you like...

I got mine in a sample size along with the other Radiance products. I like that it is very moisturizing. It stayed on even after I drank some water. The shimmers is a bit much. It gets on my non-shimmery lipstick and I had to clean it off. So if you are going for a matte lip colour look, don't use this lip balm. Otherwise, it delivers as a lip moisturizer.

Home > Expert Advice > iUniversity > Podcasts > Author Podcasts > Lisa Genova - Still Alice
From initially publishing Still Alice through iUniverse to getting the book acquired for a six-figure deal by Simon & Schuster, Lisa Genova's publishing journey is an inspiring story. Even after she received rejection letters from several traditional publishing houses and literary agents, Genova always believed she had written a good story. And with nearly 5,000 people already diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease before the age of 65, she knew that in order to raise awareness, her story had to get out.
Still Alice is the account of a 50-year-old professor's struggle with early-onset Alzheimer's. The novel gives an atypical look at disease because it was written from the perspective of the inside looking out. Answering questions such as, "who am I now?" and "who am I beyond the things I remember?" Join Genova in this exclusive Author Talk interview as she recounts her experiences as a self-published author and gives her advice on what to do instead of waiting for affirmation that you are a "real writer."

New CEP Compression Socks and Calf Sleeves
CEP has just introduced several new products designed for compression during exercise.
Progressive+ Run Sock 2.0
Reach for the CEP Progressive+ Run Sock 2.0 (view Women's) when you feel like your muscles need a little extra support on a run. This sock has graduated compression from the ankle to the knee, but the compression gradient remains consistent over the entire calf muscle. It's even lighter than its predecessor. A thicker knit over the Achilles provides increased cushioning, and the terry structure of the knit helps to stimulate blood flow. The seamline across the toes is very flat to eliminate hot spots, and the hydrophile finish on these socks wicks moisture to prevent chafing and blisters. We have the sock in Black and White, along with the Progressive+ Night Run Socks (view Women's) shown above in Neon Green.
Progressive+ Calf Sleeves
We already carry the CEP Progressive+ Calf Sleeves, but we also brought in the Progressive+ Night Calf Sleeves (view Women's) for an added bit of safety. In addition to the brilliant neon color, a reflective thread is woven in for increased visibility. Read more…

The Master Career & Technical Education Collection includes videos that address: careers and job search, guidance and counseling, family and consumer sciences (includes child care, culinary arts, parenting, etc.), and technical education (including automotive, building trades, engineering, and technical communication).
The videos and video clips from these two collections can be embedded into D2L courses that any student of SCC can access. All students and employees of SCC can use their ID cards to access any of the college's electronic resources. The username is the 14 digit number on the back of the card; the password is the user's last name. If you don't have an ID card or are having trouble getting the service to work, please stop by either library or contact me.
