Quickies!: Pals Forgive Chris Brown (Too Quickly)
Quickies!: Harvey Milk's Birthday Could Be A Holiday, Seinfeld Returns To TV
Book Smart: Oscar Reads "Milk"
Gus Van Sant's biopic "Milk" is nominated for Best Original Screenplay, but writer Dustin Lance Black drew heavily on "The Mayor of Castro Street," Randy Shilts' 1982 biography of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official, played onscreen by the fiery Sean Penn.
Something that sets this movie apart from the pack of plain old biopics is its use of actual archival and documentary footage. But Black also took some liberties with the story—here's a rundown, so you don't get caught revising Wikipedia with "facts" from the movie that are as real as Bernie Madoff's money. Keep reading »
"Milk" Biopic Rocks My World
Last night, I got to sneak a peak of the movie "Milk", which opens in theaters on November 26th, and James Franco naked, swimming in a pool. I'm not sure which one was more life changing, the booty or the biopic, but they were both even better than I had dreamed. "Milk," about the life and times of Harvey Milk, the first gay man elected to public office back in the 1970s, seems unbelievably relevant today with the passing of Prop 8 earlier this month. While the film was shot long before the recent rallies, eerily enough, Milk was largely responsible for stopping California's Prop 6, which would have made it legal to fire any employee and deny them housing simply because they were gay. The interwoven documentary footage from Milk's protests look almost identical to that of this past weekend's Join The Impact nationwide march — same cause, different decade. Keep reading »
The Harvey Milk Biopic Does A Body Good
Back in February, we got our panties in a bunch over the making of a new movie called Milk. Based on the swinging '70s life of San Francisco gay activist and politician Harvey Milk, the biopic stars Sean Penn, James Franco, Josh Brolin, and Diego Luna. Needless to say, we can't wait to see this film, which is practically guaranteed to be an Oscar contender. Sigh, we'll have to wait for the film to be released on December 5. But today, they threw us a cookie crumb to go with that Milk in the form of the movie's trailer. We promise you at least one shirtless stud. Both the sexy stars and the dramatic storyline about the fight for basic human rights have got us all fired up!
Sean Penn and James Franco Play Gay
Our prayers have been answered! The City of Angels is sending us another homoerotic love story. The film, a biopic of influential San Franciscan gay activist and politician Harvey Milk, will feature two straight men: James Dean look alike James Franco and the steamy, newly-single Sean Penn. Those two together sound tastier than dim sum in Chinatown! Although no sex shots from the movie have made their way onto the Internet yet, (Boo! Where are my homo hackers at?) there is evidence of romance in these pics up on Towleroad.com. But really, even in clothing, these two men make us grateful for all the good things they're doing for gay rights….and our libidos. [Check out an awesome vintage AP image of Harvey Milk, after the jump...] Keep reading »

Department of Political Science
Home › Academics › Colleges › Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Political Science › Our Faculty and Staff
The political science faculty may be few in number—currently six—but consider the compensating virtues. Immodest through it may be, here is a collective portrait.
Since it is the political science department we are talking about, you will naturally inquire whether we know anything about power. Let us count the ways. Among us you will find long serving Dean, a current Dean, a long serving member of the Tenure and Promotion Committee, and a former Assistant to the President. But this only demonstrates that an ideal of service is a part of the spirit of the department. We have anticipated President Obama's inaugural plea to make this the "age of responsibility."
Assistant Professor of Political Science
My research interests include interest groups and social movements, democratic theory, LGBT politics, and political marginalization.

By LARRY VAUGHT
Kentucky coach John Calipari has some interesting information at coachcal.com about how his players had lost weight during the first semester and that "part of the reason they've been so exhausted in practice and in games is their energy levels have been low" due to some of the players not eating enough.
Not eating enough? How can that be for a Kentucky basketball player?
Let Calipari explain.
"Under the current rules, if a young man eats at our training table and wants to take some food for later, he can't. It's either eat it all there or go hungry the rest of the night. We have a kitchen here that should be open for these kids whenever they want to eat. What do they do if they're at home and they want a sandwich at night? They walk down to the kitchen and get it. My own son does that at home. Here, under the current rules we have, we can't.
"The response we get (from the NCAA) is, 'Well, they can eat whenever, they've just got to go out and buy it like a normal student.' I hate to break it to you, these aren't normal students. We ask a lot of them and demand a huge chunk of their schedules. They aren't afforded the time that normal students have.
"Also, athletes do not eat three times a day. They eat – and need to eat – five, six and sometimes seven times a day. We go so hard and train so much that these kids exert and spend a lot of energy. Are we not going to let them refuel? If they want to grab some a snack at their dorm because they're starving after a practice, we aren't going to let them because there aren't snacks at the other dorms?
"Now that school is out and we are able to feed the team while they're here over the break, my guys are eating a solid three meals a day. They are gaining their weight back and showing more energy. We're improving as a team for a lot of reasons, but one of them is because we aren't limited in what we can feed them so they are coming to practice with more energy. They aren't being underfed like they are during the school semesters."
Calipari's final line talks about the money involved in college sports and "yet we're worried about kids eating a sandwich at night."
Again, that's the NCAA at its best. My guess is that if a normal UK student wants to leave the dining area with something to snack on later, he or she can. But apparently an athlete at a training table cannot during the school year but during the semester break anything goes.
How can that be?

On October 29th Drake Mechanical was honored to find out we are the recipient of the 2014 Better Business Bureau Torch Award! This is a great honor to all of us here at Drake Mechanical who strive every day to bring you the best service with honest pricing in the Treasure Valley. After 105 years Drake Mechanical still brings great service, pricing and honesty into your home and office every day of the year. We want to say a special thanks to all of our employees from our office staff, managers and our excellent team of plumbers and heating and air conditioning technicians. We will receive the actual award in person on November 17th at the BBB Torch Awards Luncheon.
Furnace filters in Boise are an essential part of any heating or air conditioning system. Without a furnace filter your equipment gets full of dust and debris and will quit working many years earlier than it should. If you have a furnace filter installed it catches all of the dust and debris and after about a month (typically) the furnace filter is full of all the dirt and debris that it can hold. Once this happens the furnace blower fan can actually suck the furnace filter into the furnace trying to get airflow.
We recommend at a minimum checking your furnace filter every month, if it doesnt need changing then check it again in a month. A lot of 4" thick furnace filters only need changed quarterly unless there is a lot of construction going on around your home or office. Below is a price list of what Drake Mechanical charges for standard MERV 8 pleated furnace filters. We sell furnace filters by the case quantity which is 12 for the 1" thick and 6 for a 4" thick filter. Drake Mechanical might be a little more out of the way than one of the big box stores but if you call and order we can save you money and have them sitting right here in our office waiting for you. CLICK HERE or feel free to call us at 362-6200.
Water softeners are an amazing home applicance, Water softeners take up very little space yet they do incredible things for your plumbing and much more. Modern water softeners unlike the older ones are computer controled. What does this matter you might ask? In short it means they are more accurate, they use less water when they regenerate and use a lot less salt than their older predecessors. No one wants to have to haul in heavy bags of salt every month including me. A lot of the new water softeners only have to have the brine tank filled up once or twice a year with salt. Water softeners are recomended for homes and businesses in Boise Meridian and Eagle when you have problems with water deposits on your plumbing fixtures and on your dishes and glasses.
Having a water softener has a lot of benefits that you may not even see. We all know how much things cost anymore from shampoo, soap, water heaters and especially clotheswashers and dishwashers. Here is a short list of what a water softener can do for you.
One thing that we thought we should share our opinion on is buy vs. lease a water softerner. A lot of local companies want to lease you a water softener. This is great for them but not necessarily good for you. In a lease program after a few years you probably could have purchased more than one water softener. If you buy it, it is yours forever and you only have to purchase your water softener once. No matter which way you go, if you have hard water problems it will help you out and save you money long term.
The answer to this question is easy, no. Not every home in Idaho needs a water softener, some people with well water have very little hardness to their water, some areas of the Treasure Valley don't need soft water due to the fact the water isnt that bad. Other areas of the valley have hard water and there are not a lot of options as to how to get rid of it. It is just due to the mineral content of the water and where it is being pumped out of the ground. The only way to really figure out if a water softener is right for your family is by performing a water hardness test.
If you need more information on water softeners and how they can help your home and lessen the long term effect on your wallet just give a call at 362-6200 or CLICK HERE to contact us via e mail.

Its that time of year again! Time to get your Air Conditioner tuned up. Don't get caught when the heat hits unprepared. Preventative maitnence is a large part of keeping your Air Conditoner running longer and more efficiently. Some of the things a tech will do when he comes out to service your Air Conditoner include: Checking and cleaning your condensing unit (the outside part Air Conditioner) for coil damage and cleanliness. Dirt, Grass or any foreign materials on the condenser coil reduces the ability for heat to transfer causing the unit to run longer which costs you money. The tech will then clean the condensing unit and make sure it is functioning correctly. The tech will apply a chemical cleaner and environmental sealer to the air conditioners condensing unit, this helps to protect your air conditioning unit from exposure to the elements and dirt and grime buildup. Have questions, give us a call or contact us on our website for more information.
Fall is showing its face quickly and winter won't be far behind it. Here are a few things that you will want to address around your home before old man winter settles in. These tips can help save you money and frustration when spring returns next year.
We hope you find these tips helpful as winter comes along so that you can enjoy winter without problems.

Right now there has never been a better time to convert to clean natural gas from propane, fuel oil or electricity. If you are within close proximity to an Intermountain Gas pipeline you can typically get a meter set at your home at no cost to you. If you are farther away than the average person there may be some cost to getting a new gas line in your home. If you have questions about that Drake Mechanical can help you figure out cost savings once you get converted to natural gas. If you have questions on converting from electricty to natural gas, converting from fuel oil to nautral gas or converting from propane to natural gas please just give us a call at 362-6200 or click on the contact us link to send us an e mail.

Do you have allergies or suffer from asthma? Did you know that indoor air pollution in our homes is among the EPA's top five environmental health risks? As homes get built to higher energy standards that translates into less outdoor air is getting into your home. What that means for you and your family is that everything you cook and do in your home is kept in your home. This means pet dander, dust, smoke, grease, and chemicals released from plastic, carpet, furniture, and electronics alike all stays inside with you and your family. As these fumes and chemicals build up that means that the indoor air quality in your home deteriorates. All this indoor pollution is part of what is causing peoples allergies and asthma to be year round instead of just seasonal. What can you do about poor indoor air quality one might I ask? The best way is to bring in fresh outdoor and exhaust the bad air. There are devices called ERV'S or Energy Recovery Units that will exchange indoor air with outdoor air while retaining some of the heating and cooling you have put into the air so you can breathe easier. If an ERV is not right for you there are other methods for cleaning the air such as high efficiency mechanical air filters along with electronic air filters that also kill germs and mold spores. Still have questions? Give us a call today at 208-362-6200 or click on the contact us link to send us an e mail.

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 Priya!
Facts about Priya
- Breed: Great Dane
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
- Sex: Female
Priya's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
My owners found me on Craigslist. I had been used as a breeding machine having litter after litter--after I become ill those people no longer wanted me. After a few months of getting me healthy in my new home, I started to challenge the other female Dane, and then we began fighting. Unfortunately mom and dad could not handle the 2 of us fighting so they contacted Harlequin Haven and they agreed to take me. I am a very sweet girl but I am dominant towards other dogs, especially other dominant girls.
Other Pets at Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Priya, a Bethel Great Dane dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Great Dane for sale in Bethel, or seeking a Great Dane dog from a breeder in Bethel.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bethel 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 Bethel 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 Great Dane breeders who help with Great Dane rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bethel paves the way for another one to be saved.

Top 9 Real Reasons to Go to War in Syria By Jon Rappoport In no particular order: One: Give the appearance of unifying the country behind the President, who "did his job the right way," by going to Congress for approval. This elevates Obama's ratings and, by inference, suggests that his other programs should be […]

The "Moral Obscenity" of Washington's Empire by William Norman Grigg John Kerry insists that it is "undeniable" that the Syrian government conducted a chemical weapons attack against civilians, and then made a "cynical attempt to cover it up" by hiding the evidence. Several chemical weapons experts, including former US Chemical Corps officer Dan Kaszeta, have […]

Proud to be a part of the Edmonton community
The Clan MacNaughton Pipe Band was formed in 1972 and adopted the MacNaughton name and tartan because of the Clan affiliation of the band's first Pipe Major. The band operated as a teaching band until l987 when it changed to a non-competition format, concentrating on public and private performances, parades and Remembrance Day ceremonies. A few of the members have been playing the pipes/drums for over 30 years and have a great deal of experience to pass on to those less experienced players. The band has instructed some of the finest pipers now playing in competition and/or in Grade 1 bands.
While the band as a whole is a non-competition band, we support our members who choose to compete in individual competitions, quartets or as a mini-band.

One that would be easy to transport to shows and fit in my Mom's van, and under my tent. Yea, I know I ask for too much! lol Anyone have any experience or suppliers they trust? Thanks!

My DH was always my builder ! LOL I'd pay attention to other people's displays , get ideas , and change them abit to what I needed. I Had a small car at the time - he had to make everything so it would fit in the back. It was like putting together & taking apart a jig saw puzzle everytime I had a show ! Most every crafter I 've ever talked to , said their DH (or a relative ) made theirs. Commercial displays cost an arm & a leg .( I checked long ago ) I hope you can find somebody to help you - the display is what attracts people to your booth. Maybe you'll get some good suggestions here. Cross your fingers ! |
Thanks! I wish my DH was handy like that, but he's creative in other ways! LOL I know exactly what you mean about it being like a jigsaw puzzle getting everything in your car! My Mom and I do this together and she had the perfect van! Our grids fit, all our totes fit, it was so easy to pack for a show. Till one fateful morning when it was full and we were on our way to a show we got broadsided by a stupid woman who ran a red light and destroyed that beautiful van. Mom wasn't hurt, I have permanent nerve damage in my neck that causes severe pain in my shoulder and neck. Fun! Mom got another van, an even more beautiful one, but that's just the problem... the grids if not very VERY careful will tear the leather interior. The way the seats are our totes don't fit with the grids, so my wonderful father has had to do the hauling in his pick up. He's not really happy about that! Can't blame him really. So we figured we'd try to find something that can be torn down easily so Mom and I can do it ourselves, fit in her van, and look wonderful. I need to befriend a carpenter! LOL |

OMG ... What a horrific event. Just reading that , I want to reach through the screen and hug you ( without hurting your neck ) ... And you're well enough to do more fairs ? OMG .... I hope your pain is controlled. You didn't deserve that . As for suggestions for carpenters that can build an exact display that you want . I have one suggestion. Senior citizens. You'd have to work with them ... explain your needs & your exact dimensions ... but boy -- they can build stuff . The senior center here has a workshop - older guys willing to build anything. If you don't have a senior center -- put a free ad in your local paper. I guarantee there are older men just looking for a project TMG |
You are so sweet! I'd take that hug!! I've been in physical therapy since the accident and on meds. They have been weaning me off the meds and I'm doing ok. Still have a good supply of them when I have a bad day though! I'm starting the process of settling the case against the woman who hit us. I just want to be rid of all of the lawyers, insurance companies and all the headaches this has caused, literally and figuratively! lol Senior Center... never thought about that, but what an excellent idea!! We do have a very busy senior center in town and they will be at the top of the list of phone calls I need to make today. Thank you bunches for the suggestion and your caring words!! |

If there was a single company who supplies exhibitors with display items, it's Woodland Marketing. They make foldable slatted display panels that be arranged to suit just about anybody's display needs. They're lightweight and will last for years. I see them at every show I do. You have to register to see the prices, but that's no big deal. They are worth every penny. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Woodland marketing
Thank you so much!! I just requested their catalog. They might have a few things that might work. I really appreciate it!! Jenn |

Can't you just use the metal shelving from HD? You could spray paint it or even wrap fabric/silk vines around the vertical pieces that hold it up. Just my 2 cents since I would have to do it on my own also. ;o) |
Here is a link that might be useful: shelving
Shelving wouldn't work for us, we need hanging. I do denim clothing and purses. We ended up spending about an hour in Lowes and figured out a display using PVC. We've yet to find a day to put the unit together and see if it will work, but for all the supplies it was under $50 so I'm crossing my fingers it will work. thanks so much for the suggestion! |
- Posted by oldalgebra (My Page) on Tue, Jun 29, 10 at 19:56
I'm a big fan of PVC. I've found, over the years, that after you've built your structure, you will want to glue some of the parts together. It will go up much more quickly. Maybe you'll just glue the fittings on some straight pieces, or maybe you have room enough to glue each of the sides together. But don't have it ALL come apart. If you do, you'll be FOREVER assembling it. In addition, if you do glue parts together, mark where it ISN'T glued. That way, you know where to give it a little wack with a rubber mallet to take it apart. |
Thanks for the advice! We need to measure Mom's van and figure out how long we can make the pieces and that's exactly what we are gonna do. You are right, it would take forever to build this structure everytime we were at a show. I think it's gonna work, just need to build it and take it from there. I'll have to figure out how to post pictures on here to show you what we've come up with. thanks again for everyone's suggestions! |

Here are a couple of structures I've done, copying others on the internet. Note the first pictures in the Playhouse link and scroll to the last pictures in the Lemonade Stand link. |
Wow! I am so impressed with your work! Thank you so much for the inspiration! After I get my kitchen finally painted, my next project is our booth. My next show isn't until Sept. so I've got awhile to work out the kinks with it. Again, thank you so much! |

Oldalgebra, that's incredible! I should make some holly hock frames using the same principles. I could add to them as the plants got taller. Rebar pounded into the ground first. I think I would use electricians pvc since it is gray. I discovered that Oops washes off the lettering. Kathy |

World Market® Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Gnocchi - kids loved it
This was a great new food for the kids to try and was very good so they ask for it all the time now. Unexpectedly there were no instructions on how to prepare it so if that is what you are looking for in a review here it is - add product to enough boiling water so that it will not stick together. It is ready in about 3-4 minutes after it has floated to the top. It was great with some simple garlic butter.
December 27, 2011
Easy to eat, but not very tasty
Something about these gnocchi tasted a little off - I much prefer the kind from Trader Joes.

i heard about a new track system for space moutain, probably not all wooden anymore, and maybe without the feeling of being beheaded.
Just heard that there are heavy rumors of a huge rehab for Space Mountain and the Jungle Cruise in 2008. SM is supposedly going to get a $30+ million refurb, while the Jungle Cruise will get a $13 million refurb. To put things into perspective the SM rehab in Disneyland was an estimated $15-20. Obviously no word on what these could be at this point, but I have heard someone say that Timon and Pumbaa might be added in a pre-show on JC. I'm still skeptical about the Timon and Pumbaa rumor.
What do you guys think? What could Disney possibly be spending all that money on?
i heard about a new track system for space moutain, probably not all wooden anymore, and maybe without the feeling of being beheaded.
"Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy"
SM will probably become more of a steel coaster maybe bigger cars as for JC maybe they will get new animatronics make more thrill
JC is way overdue for a rehab. My guess is that they will replace the talking pilots with a canned narration.

I hope they don't change it to canned narration but I bet they do. Those pilots are hilarious and really make the ride personal. I just hope they wait until after my trip....
If they remove the skippers I'd be furious. More than one of my sources has said that it won't be happening anytime soon.
Space Mountain would be cool for changes. But I hope they dont change much with Jungle Cruise. I love that ride.
The happy haunts have received your simpathetic vibrations, and are begining to materialize.They're assembling for a swinging wake,and they will be expecting me.I will see you all a little later
I'm Mister White ChristmasI'm Mister SnowI'm Mister IcicleI'm Mister Ten BelowFriends call me Snow MiserWhat ever I touchTurns to snow in my clutchI'm too much!
I'm hearing that the track will be replaced. Doesn't mean it will be a totally different track and ride, but it sounds like it will just be new track pieces that need fixing. I hope it is more than that but i don't know yet.
I live near Disneyland Paris and Space Mountain here is awesome. If you compare it to Orlando's SM, the Florida version is a kiddie ride. Good thing they are thinking of rehab in Orlando, hopefully they will use the Paris version.
its definately not a kiddie ride..look at the the it came out.it REVOLUTIONIZED roller coasters.It has to go down as one of the best ever!!!!!
Ever done the Paris Space Mountain ? If not, shut up.
Shut up....No thats besides the point if they make a ride and its faster higher whatever,does that make the one in Paris a kiddie ride???
Yes maybe SM Paris will be a kiddie ride some day when they build a more elaborate one elsewhere, but I was just comparing the two existing versions.
A newer ride will or should be better than an older version with the techonology today..And you cant say that Space Mountain in Tommorrowland in the Magic Kingdom is not one of the best roller coasters of all time..Rookie

New York Newspaper published names/addresses of gun owners
7Dec 25, '12 by wish_me_luckI am not a firearms enthusiast, but this was wrong.
I think we, as a society, have gone way too far in going on witch hunts for anything and everything we view as a threat: gun ownership, mental illness, etc. I wish people would grow up. -
6Dec 25, '12 by IndiCRNAOne thing they did for sure, they provided perfect ammunition for those who are aginst registering of firearms. Maybe some people don't realize it but only a very few states, mostly in the north east, requires firearms to be registered. This paper's actions will provide a perfect argument why not to register firearms. I can see it being brought up years from now.
Personaly I would never register any of my firearms under any circumstanc. -
8Dec 25, '12 by aknottedyarnWell, that is certainly frightening to me. Paint a big target on a house to be robbed while the owners are away just to look and see if you find an unsecured gun to steal. Up until that point a robber had to figure out and perhaps even figure out how to access the info. Just because something is public record does not mean it has to be shared publically.
I suspect the newspaper did not put out a map, updated weekly, of those on probation or sex offenders. No map will be big enough to show all those. If I know my neighbor well, I might know they have a gun. If they know me well they might know my story about my guns. Other than that it really is no one else's business and puts people at risk. What happens when there is a home invasion to steal the guns and only a child is there who does not know the combination to get the guns. Will that child be injured?
Responsible journalism is a rule. What is responsible about this? -
4Dec 26, '12 by duskyjewelThey could do this to us if they want to. Any and all comers are welcome to come get their sucking chest wounds if they threaten my family's safety in any way.
4Dec 26, '12 by That Guy, BSN, RN, EMT-BGood thing all my guns were tragically lost in a boating accident
3Dec 26, '12 by nurseguysfinishfirstQuote from wish_me_luckThey certainly mad it easy for a criminal to know who DOES NOT have a gun.They may have done more to make those folks a target.I am not a firearms enthusiast, but this was wrong.
I think we, as a society, have gone way too far in going on witch hunts for anything and everything we view as a threat: gun ownership, mental illness, etc. I wish people would grow up. -
7Dec 26, '12 by workingharderAside from the incredible arrogance and willful disregard for the privacy and security of the gun owners, I wonder... if any of these guns are stolen due to the publishing of this information will the newspaper take any responsibility for any future consequences?
2Dec 26, '12 by Freedom42I live in the Northeast. In my state, if you want a concealed weapons permit, you have to apply to your local board of selectmen. Your name, address, and request are published on the board's agenda. More often than not, the local newspaper publishes whether your request was granted. I'm not aware in any increase in crime because of this, and I can't recall any gun owner complaining about it.NRSKarenRN and GrnTea like this.
1Dec 26, '12 by duskyjewelThat's because in the north east, freedom has been systematically beaten out of you. I love living in Arizona, aka America.VivaLasViejas likes this.

I'm not knocking raiders or hardcore players, but just by numbers the people who do heroics 'as a destination' still out number the raiders by a lot, even with the greater accessibility of raids. Raids still can't touch how easy it is to put together a five man group.

The world's largest organization of food and nutrition professionals is launching EatRight Radio, a new online resource with free public service announcements that encourage millions of people to improve their health.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has created a broadcast team of registered dietitians—the food and nutrition experts—to create a network of free public service announcements beginning this summer.
"Whether you're at the gym, behind the wheel or in front of a computer, EatRight Radio offers practical health and nutrition advice to keep you healthy," said registered dietitian and Academy President Ethan A. Bergman.
"The Academy's new PSAs provide the opportunity for us to share with the public that when it comes to your health, little changes in eating and physical activity can really add up over time," Bergman said.
Thirty- and sixty-second EatRight Radio PSAs are available online in both English and Spanish and feature a registered dietitian offering current science-based health and nutrition tips, including eating gluten-free, promoting children's health, supporting a healthy pregnancy, the temptations of late-night snacking and more.

What is your favorite method of pollinating heirloom melons in order to save seed of a known variety, if you are growing more than one variety? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Carolyn - I guesss no one has a favorite method.:) |
I seem to have a hard time getting melon pollen on a brush. Guess I'll stick to the "direct approach" - male blossom to female blossom. |
That is how I do it. It is the only method I know/tried for melons. Hence why I didn't post a favorite method. :) |
- Posted by Bill_SouthernCal 10 So.Cal (My Page) on Wed, Aug 17, 05 at 1:54
CarolynCl - I would go for the direct method, too. But I honestly always buy seeds and seedlings because I am too lazy to save my own. Also, I am always afraid I've got cross pollination with the cukes. I do admire your efforts, though and hope you have a good crop next year. My Butterscotch Sweeties and Ambrosia are done. Lots of smaller fruit than last year. Overall, it's about 6 degrees cooler - both the high and low temps, than last year. I do have some Galias left. They have been outstanding. I have also planted new seeds of Butterscotch, Haogen, and Charentais. It's real tricky to do a fall crop because the morning dew and cooler nights cause a lot more disease than they do now. |
Bill, I'm just playing around with pollinating a few melons. Most of my plants next year will be from professionally grown seeds. You can get some melons which aren't at all good by planting saved seed. I've tried to isolate the blossoms I am pollinating myself, though I don't know if I have been completely successful with the male blossoms. I don't worry about cross-pollination with cukes, as they have such a hard time getting any cuke to cross with any melon professionally (to my knowledge, it's been done with one wild melon species). Except for the Armenian cucumbers, which are actually melons. But random cross-pollination between good melons often does not yield an improved product. My crop planted in late April is about done here, except for the Small Persians and a few late fruits of Marygold, Sugarnut, Ha Ogen, Banana, one unidentified melon and Petit Gris de Rennes. One or two plants of Early Sugarshaw from May will be coming out, having given their all to some really big melons. The other May melons are starting to ripen. Good luck with your fall crop. I'll be very lucky if I get fruits here from seeds planted in June and July, too, as the nights cool off. |

This game was the story of two halves. In the first half, the Packers' dominating defense and Brett Favre's two touchdown passes led the way to a 17- 0 halftime lead as the Vikings continued their recent bungling ways. Favre and Donald Driver put on a passing clinic against the Vikes, but once again the Packer running game never got it going, as has been true all season long. I thought Ahman Green looked like he was running as hard and fast as he ever had on Sunday (before he got hurt), but this year the blocks and the execution just aren't there as they have been in the past.
The second half of the game was exactly the opposite of the first. The Packers' defense broke down and allowed the troubled Vikings to build confidence and momentum. By late in the fourth quarter the Vikes had roared back with 20 unanswered points. Injuries, lack of defensive discipline and lousy special teams' play contributed to the Packers' woes.
The Pack might have won this game but for a questionable coaching decision late in the game. Trailing by three points with less than two minutes to go, Brett Favre led a final drive which stalled on the Viking 30-yard line. By this time in the game, Green had been hurt and replaced by Tony Fisher. Mike Sherman decided to call Fischer's number on a gut draw play on third-and-four, rather than let Favre take a shot at passing the ball. Fischer was stuffed due to poor blocking. Ryan Longwell then tied the game with a field goal, but with still enough time remaining for the Vikes to get in a position for Edinger's winning field goal.
Sherman's call was eerily similar to a call in the championship game against the Eagles a couple years ago when the Pack declined to go for it on a fourth-and-one, which allowed the Eagles the opportunity to win that game. I remain convinced that Mike Sherman is a fine football coach, but the Fischer draw call has me scratching my head. I would have preferred to see Favre get the call. He is by far the Packers' best player and a couple completed passes might well have resulted in another outcome.
The schedule for the next three weeks looks brutal, beginning with the rejuvenated Cincinnati Bengals, the always-tough Pittsburgh Steelers, and then the high-scoring Atlanta Falcons. Those teams have a combined record of 13 - 6 thus far this year. The injury situation for the Pack also looks bleak. Green, Robert Ferguson, Nick Collins and Cullen Jenkins all suffered knee injuries in the Humpty Dump. There must be something good to write about, but your humble scribe is at a loss to find it right now. These are tough times for Cheeseheads.

menstruating women) the requirement distribution is known to be skewed rather than normal. For nutrients with skewed requirement distributions, the approach to assess individual intakes proposed in this chapter is not appropriate.
The larger the CV (and thus the standard deviation), the larger the range of possible values for an individual's requirement for that nutrient, and the greater the uncertainty about what the individual's requirement for that nutrient might be. Even in the hypothetical case in which the individual's usual nutrient intake is known, uncertainty remains about whether the usual intake is adequate, because that individual 's requirement is not known.
Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) have been established as a target or goal for intake by an individual, and it can be assumed that individuals whose usual intakes are above the RDA are likely to be meeting their individual requirements and thus have adequate intakes. However, the converse is not true. For this reason the RDA is not a useful reference standard for assessing an individual's intake. Intakes below the RDA cannot be assumed to indicate that an individual's intake is inadequate. The RDA, by definition, exceeds the actual requirements of all but 2 to 3 percent of the population, so many of those with usual intakes below the RDA may be meeting their individual requirements. The likelihood of nutrient inadequacy, however, increases as the usual intake falls further below the RDA.
As discussed in the previous section, however, usual intakes are unobservable in practice. Thus, one is limited to comparing the observed mean intake to the DRIs in order to assess adequacy. Subsequently in this chapter it will be demonstrated that due to the typically high day-to-day variability in intakes for most nutrients, one may not be able to conclude that an individual's usual intake is adequate even if the observed mean intake is larger than the RDA. Thus, comparing an individual's observed mean intake to the RDA is not recommended as a means for determining nutrient adequacy for the individual.
If an Adequate Intake (AI) rather than an EAR was set for a nutrient (e.g., calcium, vitamin D), it may be used in a more limited way as described in the next section.
The third step in individual assessment is to assess the data to answer the question, On the basis of an individual's observed intake over a small number of days, is that individual's usual intake of the nutrient adequate and at low risk of adverse effects?

Supreme Deputy
Mrs. JoAnn Weaver, Supreme Deputy
I have been so fortunate in this life to be the third generation of Masonic affiliation in my family. It was my honor to see my father receive his fifty year Masonic pin. It was due to his love for the Order and my Mothers involvement in the Order of the Eastern Star that my sister and I were both Rainbow Girls and my brother was a DeMolay. I enjoyed being an active Rainbow Girl in Houston Heights Assembly #10 and received my majority.
My husband, Bruce Weaver, is an active and lifetime member of Plano Lodge #768. He also serves as an Adult Grand Officer, IORG, Past Chairman of the Grand Committee on Work and is a Past State Rainbow Dad. My husband, daughter and I continue to be active members of Plano Eastern Star Chapter #703.
We were thrilled with the interest expressed by our son and daughter to join DeMolay and Rainbow. My son is a Past Master Councilor of Farmers Branch DeMolay Chapter and was very active in the Chevalier Court. He has since become a Master Mason at James A. Smith Masonic Lodge #395. My daughter was initiated into Midland Assembly #193 where I was involved as a parent. After relocating to the Dallas area my daughter served as Worthy Advisor of Plano Assembly #320 and is a Past Grand Worthy Advisor of Texas. She also served as part of the Supreme Task Force for several years.
I have served as a member of the Advisory Board of Plano Assembly #320 for over twenty-five years. During that time, I served as Mother Advisor for three terms as well as Chairman of the Advisory Board and other elected positions for a number of years. I was privileged to be asked to create a Ritualistic Competition program on the state level approximately fifteen years ago and I continue to help my daughter, who leads this program. When it became time to revise the dress code for the state of Texas, I chaired a committee to complete this task. The recommendations that resulted were approved and formulated into the revised dress code for the Grand Assembly.
Grand Assembly in Texas has a statewide Adult Leadership Conference each year. I worked on the planning committee for this conference for ten years and have presented numerous topics at the various conferences such as general leadership, youth protection, and creating and maintaining an Adult Resource Manual.
The Texas Grand Assembly is divided in five sections. I was the leader of one of these sections, made up of ten very active assemblies, for approximately fifteen years. Over the years, I have coordinated and participated in numerous Rainbow Schools of Instruction, social events, fundraisers, charity projects, and Grand Tour events which our Supreme Inspector, Grand Worthy Advisor, and Grand Officer official visits.
I was appointed Grand Deputy for Plano, Richardson and Farmers Branch Assemblies twelve years ago. It was also a privilege to chair a group that worked to form a new Assembly (Elm Valley Assembly). I have lead groups of adults to revitalize several Assemblies.
The additional responsibility of being a member of the Grand Executive Committee came eleven years ago and I have served as the Chairman of the committee for two years. As a member and Chairman of the Executive Committee I have participated in the interviewing process leading to the election of line officers and selection of the appointed Grand Officers. The current interview and selection process was initiated five years ago.
Being a Masonic and Eastern Star family with a very special interest in Rainbow continues to keep our family one of a strong bond to help and support each other in what ever new endeavors we may encounter. My husband and I have always worked as a team and we are having the joy of working with and watching our children raise our grandchildren into the next Masonic generation.

"Honeys are facing a hard time," Hanks said. "They've been hit by greening very heavily. We hopefully will get through late March this year."
Internal quality has been strong and Dundee's growers plan to finish harvesting in late March, Finch said.
Final honey fruit size is larger than recorded during two of the past three seasons, requiring 300 pieces of fruit to fill a 1 3/5-bushel box, according to the USDA.
Jason Bedsole, sales manager of Eastern vegetables and citrus for Oviedo-based Duda Farm Fresh Foods Inc., the fresh division of Oviedo-based A. Duda & Sons Inc., said the season has gone well.
"Quality is good, and coloring is nice," he said in late February. "The brix is there, and the fruit is good."

out of 5 starsI absolutely love this bed!! - Mandy
I love this bed! I searched high and low for a deal on something that would look nice and was affordable. No problems putting it together, although, I did have some help. Between the two of us, we had it put together in a few hours. Because I saved so much on the bed, I was able to splurge on a super nice mattress. I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase. Thank you One-Way! - Shanaynay
Ordered the bed for our guest room. Love the quality and the price. - mia

I really want soapstone counters, however I am getting discouraged from buying them from sales people and even here on GW. I think the color of granite called Steel Gray might be an alternate option if they were honed, leathered or antiqued. I found this color granite at Ikea. I saw a gray honed granite done on an HGTV show called "Sarah's House", Season 4, however it is hard to get a good look at it on the TV screen. Here is the link: Has anyone on GW ever done this or seen it done or have pix? What color gray do you think is on the TV show? Thanks! |

When in Rome
By Michael Joseph Gross
Under the crystal chandelier at Garbo, a faux-rustic bar in Rome's artsy Trastevere district, the hunky captains of Gruppo Pesce, Rome's gay swim club, sip cocktails of Martini & Rossi, Cointreau, and vodka with a gang of friends. They're sharp, attractive guys, happily vamping as they clink glasses: 'Cheers, dears, thank God we're queers!'
Just don't ask them to stay out past 2 a.m. Tomorrow is Sunday, and Sunday, for most of this crowd, is set aside for visiting mom'which no one seems to dread at all.
Lorenzo, a 45-year-old Jude Law type who works for the Italian government and is one of the few gay Romans I met who has actually come out to his mother, says, 'I want to listen again and again to her stories, and the things about the war. Because one day she will not be here more. Living in her world, it's not a waste of time.' The tone is hushed, heartfelt, moving, and a little weird.
The typical Italian man, gay or straight, doesn't move out of his parents' house until he's in his mid 30s. 'We call that 'Mamma Hotel,' ' says Massimiliano Canneto, a diminutive 34-year-old gay tour guide with a broad, round face like a fava bean. The rainbow-bedecked Web site of his business, Roma With Pride, proclaims, 'I am happily out,' though not, he confesses over dinner one night, to 'Mamma.' With a wave of his hand, he says, 'She is old and don't know about Internet.' Then he turns serious: Although he's pretty sure his mother knows he's gay, he can't tell her because 'it could kill her, I think. Broken heart. I don't think that she could take it.'
Another day, at lunch, a young Sicilian explains, chuckling, 'They are always weak-hearted, the Italian mothers, for some reason. They could die at any moment.'
Scarcity of real estate also sustains the 'Mamma Hotel' arrangement. There can be no gay neighborhood in a city like Rome because salaries are too low and rents are too high for more than a small minority of young professionals to support themselves. (Scattered across the city, Rome has three gay saunas, one gay restaurant, and about 10 gay clubs. Garbo's yuppified atmosphere is rare. Most bars, like the twink-packed Coming Out or the harder Hangar, have a grittier edge.)
This economic stagnation creates domestic flexibility. Because the young have no place to go, their families can't throw them out, which makes families extremely resilient. It also makes dating all but impossible'which is why many Romans mostly make do with sex, often in dark rooms and saunas.
Compare 'Mamma Hotel' to America's urban gay culture'in which announcements of sexual orientation enlarge, for many, the distance that's created when we leave home. In our 20s and 30s, that distance grows larger as gay men join the upwardly mobile class of their peers, carving out individualistic identities based on economic consumption (and, often, some kind of therapy before finally beginning the lengthy process of reconciling with our parents). Which culture is more restrictive? Which is more free? For all its limits, Italian gay life safeguards something valuable that many in America struggle to find: a sure sense of involvement with family and community, a certainty that one is not alone in the world.
There's some fairly strong evidence that gay Italians could come out of the closet without jeopardizing their security. Polls indicate that 69% of Italian Catholics (in a country where well over 90% of the residents identify themselves as Catholic) support some form of legal recognition for same-sex couples. More to the point, the majority of Italians say they wouldn't mind if their children were gay. Which forces another question: Do Italian men carry their secrets around with them for no reason?
That depends on what you mean by 'reason.' If Romans tell themselves they choose the closet to keep their families happy, perhaps that's because it lets them understand the choice as something wholly under their control. They're also being swayed by at least two deeper influences. They talk about the first one incessantly: the much-reviled pope ('il Papa'), about whom more in a moment. The second, I think, is a particular experience of history Romans so take for granted that few could describe it, even to themselves.
In any neighborhood in Rome, you are liable to come upon a hole in the ground that's about 2,000 years deep. One day near the Piazza Navona, I walked out of a convenience store and looked down to ruins from Domitian's reign. If you lived here, you would see this kind of thing every day, which would make it just about impossible to trick yourself into believing the best, most productive, most inspiring American myth: that you can reinvent yourself. Most of the clean breaks and fresh starts that propel the plots of an American's coming-out story are not viable, or even imaginable, in a Roman's life. If you lived here, you would always know that you will always be what you always were.
'The holy papa do not shop at Prada,' the commander furiously insists.
This man, whom I'll call Carlo, is a commander of the Vatican, the scion of one of the handful of aristocratic Roman families who have kept the traditions of papal protocol for generations. He is gay, but he says that no one in his family or at his workplace knows. Charming, charismatic, and built like one of Michelangelo's Bible-boy fantasies, his poise falters only once, at the beginning of our conversation on a rainy afternoon in a caf' on the Via Veneto, because there must be no confusion on this point: The holy papa do not shop at Prada!
'But maybe Prada'maybe!'she make a gift to the holy papa.' His eyes flash like a little boy who thinks that because most of his body's hidden behind the sofa he is entirely invisible.
Gay Italians, almost to a man, talk about the pope's red shoes when Benedict XVI comes up in conversation, which is all the time. Everyone (except for the commander) says that Papa got his shoes at Prada, and when you ask why this matters, they say it proves he's hypocritically materialistic.
And gay.
This is one of Rome's biggest surprises: the ubiquity of rumors that the holy father is one of us. Gay and straight people alike will calmly assert this as a matter of fact, with none of the wishful overconfidence or nervous doubt that dogs West Hollywood gossip about the sex lives of movie stars.
Fabio Canino, Italy's most popular gay TV personality (a toothy, beefy Graham Norton), opened his show the day Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was chosen pope with a shot of pink smoke emerging from a chimney. 'He loves shopping, and I love shopping,' Canino says with a smirk.
Casually, he adds, 'Everybody knows he is gay, and his boyfriend is his private secretary.' He Googles 'Georg + segretario di Papa' to show me a photo of the dashing blond Monsignor Georg G'nswein, a 50-year-old amateur pilot, tennis player, and former ski instructor, whom the Italian press has compared to George Clooney and Hugh Grant.
When I ask Carlo the commander about these rumors, he says, 'I don't know if the Cardinal Ratzinger was gay. Maybe, maybe no. I know the holy papa is not gay.'
What does that mean?
His eyes flash again; he speaks slowly, as if he is reading from a page, and his words curl like paper in fire: 'The holy papa is reborn in the Holy Spirit.'
Certainly the vast majority of people who repeat these rumors make an overly imaginative inference from the known homoerotic qualities of Catholic clerical life. Della parrocchia ('of the parish') is Roman slang for gay, and practically every gay man here has at least a few stories about dating, having sex with, or getting hit on by priests.
Fabio Canino says he received a mysterious invitation a few years ago to lunch at the Vatican with a cardinal. 'I walked in,' he remembers, 'and I thought the person in front of me was a drag queen, not a cardinal.' He flings his arms up in imitation and cries out, lisping, 'Hel-lo, sweetie!'
The prelate, he says, eagerly dished his Vatican colleagues, referring to one black cardinal as 'Naomi' (after Naomi Campbell). As Canino tells the story, he called the cardinal a hypocrite and asked how, as a gay man, he could serve this homophobic institution. The cardinal looked at him across the lavish table where they sat and said, 'I have everything here.'
Before Canino left, the cardinal'like a politician, or a parent'told him to get in touch if he ever needed help. Some time later, when Canino produced a play in Rome, the production was stuck without a rehearsal space. Canino says he called the cardinal in desperation and was immediately granted the use of a room in the Vatican. He says the cardinal also arranged for the Vatican printing office to produce, for free, the souvenir script that was sold at the play to raise money for a local AIDS foundation.
The title of the play? Making Porn.
