Two leaders of a mosque in southwest Philadelphia of are accused of attempting to cut off the right hand of a man they allege was caught stealing from them. The man managed to keep his hand, but will no doubt think again before attending prayer at that mosque.
Emmett Till, a Chicago teenager who went to visit relatives in Mississippi and wound up lynched for whistling at a married white woman. His case would become a rallying symbol for thousands of Americans hungry for justice.
No one was really surprised that they weren't sorry, but it makes one wonder how many other murders' phony expressions of remorse got them leniency with a judge.

I hope to try this myself in the future... somehow, although I don't have the Digital Everywhere tuner card any longer.
Have been making enquiries for the Avermedia sat tuner and CI module so hopefully if we can get those soon I'll be able to try out this technique for getting the white cards working.

New poster - not new to htpcs...... For some time I was watching sky through media center using a digital everywhere card and dragon cam - then the white card came along and trashed my party. So to get round this I have purchased a Dreambox 500-s. (can be searched for) The dreambox has been flashed with new firmware...:- http://www.dreamboxtool.com/PLi-Imag...0+--plus-.html and plugged into the network via RJ45. Now some software from dvblogic (which you have to pay for after the trial has run out):- http://www.dvblogic.com/download/DVBLinkTVSource.zip next a copy of the decyption software which i cannot supply a link to but look for Hadu. A valid sky card is needed. Now i'm working from memory here but you need to set up your dreambox so its tuned in. Next get the box to download and install cccam and newcs. At this point going from memory is difficult. I know it took me 2 weeks as the dreambox is linux based, i needed the right software and cable to flash the dreambox to the correct firmware. Then give the Dreambox a static ip address, had to read alot of forums to work out how to setup the config file on the dreambox and the config file with hadu (though there is a tool to help you floating on the web - http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/d...g-creator.html What you are essentially doing here is illegal in that you are technically cardsharing. the fact that you are not sharing your card with anyone outside of the router is immaterial. With this setup you *could* have 2,3 or 4 sat cards in your pc and have them set up to decrypt from your one sky card in the dreambox. That means one subscription and multiple recordings or, with and xbox360, multiroom. And sky will not like losing revenue in this way so i suppose its better that I have led you some way on the journey but the rest you'll have to figure out. It is possible but you still have to -recharge- your sky card every 2 months in the original box. Fortunatley the dreambox software can read the card and tell you when your entitlement will run out - just remember to recharge it before it runs out or else you'll be phoning sky to explain your card has stopped working and not trying to tell them its because your using a dreambox. Good luck Shaggy Last edited by Graeme*Kustom*; 07-05-2010 at 14:29. |

Hi Shaggy
Thanks for this useful info - it's still an area I want to revisit myself soon, will certainly take your points on board and hopefully we can do a detailed guide to bring this up to date again.

Just a heads up people there seems to be a problem with over volted readers burning cards out.
IMS - the card should be 2.2 v and the cam is 3.6 or something , or maybe its the dreambox reader i read about...cant mind but i would suggest anyone messing with networking the dreambox as a card sharer get a bit clued up.....obviously I am not 100 percent certain as I dont do much with cards anymore.

yes you do have to be careful not to burn out your sky card in the dreambox - thats why a recommend a pli jade image (firmware), cccam 2.1.2 and newcs 1.66 on the dreambox - the cccam and newcs can be downloaded from the menu built in to the dreambox. Then find a cccam config setup script that some kind chappie has written that will set the clockspeed just right to the sky cards needs. Everytime I think about making any adjustments to the setup i shudder at the thought as i need to relearn all the commands again - f lines, n lines etc. I have been toying with updating to cccam 2.1.4 but would need to rewrite the config file again and manually as i don't think there is a script out there for the 2.1.4 cccam config creation. Will need to hang around the cardsharing forums again and ask some questions. On a side note i have noticed predator 3.80 is out and about - has anyone tried this with a white sly card? It apparently has an entry in the file for the card..... Cheers Shaggy |

2013 and earlier-Acura RDX Prices Paid and Buying Experience
tommy3102 Posts: 8Thanks to everyone who has contributed here. I was able to get what I think is a great deal on a 2008 RDX w/TECH.
I am paying 34200 (inc. dest. charge) for a Blue/Taupe w/tech. With nothing (not a cent) down I can literally sign and drive either a 60mos 4.9% loan at 713. or a 36 mos 15k/yr lease (20201.40 resid which is 54% of MSRP, and .00189 MF) for 596. I am really leaning towards the lease as it seems to be a very good value for having the option to walk away after 3yrs or pay the resid and buy the car.
Now if I could just find a decent way to figure out how you ceiling mount a dvd player in a leased car I would be truly set.
I am buying the vehicle from Open Road Acura in New Brunswick, NJ. The experience was wonderful so far, and it was all because I went in with all the information in hand.

sdlsteve Posts: 11When we were living in Birmingham, we only had one acura dealer that wouldn't come off MSRP on the 2001 Acura TL. I negotiated with one dealer in Montgomery and ended up paying a dealer in Gainesville, FL to drive one up (I saved $1500 by doing it that way). Unfortunately, the Montgomery dealer matched the Gainesville offer the day they brough it up which would have saved me an additional $150. You got to ask yourself how much is it worth to travel. Would you drive 2 hours to save $500?
psychobroker Posts: 3Of course I'd drive 2 hours to save $500...imagine the extended drive back in your new RDX!
As for me, I'm new here and EXTREMELY thankful for everyone's input and great advice. I'm in the market for either a GT/AWD CX-7 or posibly RDX w/ Tech. I've test-driven the former and thoroughly enjoyed it. Based on reviews here and motortrend, I'm sure the RDX will not dissapoint.
After scanning these forums, I see people are getting near invoice, which would be ~$34k range, right? I just received the following "internet quote" from a local dealer in the South Bay (SoCal):
"Dear Christian XXXX:
I have just attempted to contact you regarding the 2007 Acura RDX you inquired about. Unfortunately, I was not able to reach you.
The retail price of 2007 RDX (tech) is $37,165 and your special internet price would be $36,395 (including destination charges) + tax and licence.
In case you get lower then this, let me know so I can try to either match or beat it. Please let me know how would you like to proceed.
I look forward to speaking with you soon"
$36,395 seems a bit high to me, what does everyone else think?
Thanks in advance! -

c_hunter Posts: 4,487I don't think you are correct in telling the other people that their deals are unrealistic or that they are bottom feeders -- on another Acura forum I frequent, the going rate is typically $300-500 under invoice for base and tech RDX models right now. There are a lot more people on that forum, so we have more people reporting in with their prices compared to here. I paid $475 under invoice myself back in January, which was right in the range most other buyers have been paying. The discounts will likely keep getting better unless sales pick up in a big way.
Don't give out bad advice or call people names just because you paid more; it's not cool. If you were happy with your price, and other people are happy with their price, that's all that matters. -
c_hunter Posts: 4,487Fair enough, but I got awesome service from my sales guy under invoice; he even delivered the RDX to me while I was selling my old car to CarMax. A good dealership treats all their customers well, and you shouldn't feel the need to pay extra for it. Most RDX buyers are getting good deals and good service.
Most dealers give their sales guys a flat fee for any sale, so they do OK no matter what. A good sales person welcomes any new customers because they build their clientele.
As far as pricing, everyone has their preference. For me, I had a number in mind that made the RDX a good value to me. Above that, there were other vehicles I would consider instead. You have to pay what you think is fair.
I wouldn't consider fair deals to be greed and penny pinching; it's an open market with supply and demand, and educated buyers can decide where they want to fit in. I got a high VIN RDX fresh off the truck for $475 under invoice with minimal haggling and couldn't be happier with the dealer experience. I can't imagine any reason why I would *not* want to take that deal, or why I would volunteer to give them *more* money for the heck of it. It would be greed if I twisted their arm to go lower, but that was not the case. -
carlitos92 Posts: 458"Well the dealership is not profit motivated." Huh? :confuse:
I don't know how a dealership is ever NOT profit motivated in a free market economy. Selling a car is not philanthropy, and neither is buying one.
If you feel that sorry for the salesman, beat him up on price and then just give him 50 bucks out of your own pocket on the side. You'll most likely be ahead in the end that way, to boot.
Put another way, you can tip a pregnant waitress more than a non-pregnant waitress more if that lets you sleep at night. That doesn't mean you should give the restaurant more money for the food. -
c_hunter Posts: 4,487It's 2007 and times have changed. Right now, the RDX is selling about 50% below projections, and it's a buyer's market. That has almost nothing to do with the internet. Dealers are practically giving them away in my area, and Acura has been backing sales with ever-sweeter incentives. Going $300-500 under invoice on an RDX is not bragging, it's reality and not at all out of the ordinary for a slow selling vehicle. If you feel better paying more, fine.
indytips Posts: 1I am trying to figure out what is the best way to get a good offer on the RDX. I have only bough one car before years ago plus I feel people underestimate me because I am a female. So far the only offer I have received is still above invoice and I am serious about buying the RDX. What should I do?
flats Posts: 44There are many theories on how to get the best deal. Check out the article the nice folk at Edmunds (http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying/articles/78386/article.html) have for a refresher course.
I like to work with the internet sales, that way I can shop at varies dealerships at once. I do my homework and figure out what price I would pull the trigger on and tell the internet sales rep I am comfortable buying the RDX for $3x,xxx or lower because above that price I have other alternative vehicles I would consider. Be specific about what you want, including color and all options, and when you plan on purchasing. Leave no wiggle room, the price you offer is the final price. If they agree, be prepared to pull out the check book. If they decline, no harm done, at least you know. Just be reasonable with the price for your market, search the forums for help. And if they decline your offer, wait a few days and check your inbox. Odds are they may meet your offer.
I was at my local dealership last weekend and struck up a conversation with one of the sales guys. He threw me a number well above MSRP telling me how it's a new hot car. This was his attempt at hitting me high, scrapping me off the ceiling, and eventually coming down to MRSP to make it appear he was giving me a deal. I politely told him he has over two dozen RDX's in the back lot, one even had a VIN# of 9xx. That particular vehicle has been on the lot since day 1 (they are now shipping with VIN's over 17000 now), so I called his bluff and wished him a nice day. But that was his game, and I didn't want to play. I want to play the game my way.
Good luck, and keep us informed. -
ccacp Posts: 117It all depends what area of the country you are in. If you are in the Virginia-MD-NJ area most people are reporting invoice. Out west, CA is also at invoice. It all depends how many dealers you have in your area vying for your business !
Also, consult acurazine.com - Discounts - plenty of people reporting invoice to 500 below invoice for tech and base RDX. -
mjo1 Posts: 16I'm about to agree to a 36 month, 12,000 mile lease on an Acura RDX (base model, no tech). $31,612 final cap cost, includes taxes, dest. charge, acquistion fee. $476/month with no money down, includes 6% taxes. All I need to do is pay the first month. This monthly pmt. also includes paying off the remainder of my existing lease ($773 payoff). The money factor is 0.00108 (or 2.59%) with a 57% residual. Sound good?
mlb11 Posts: 31Your cap cost on the lease thread is higher than the one you list here? But, all in all, this looks pretty good! That is an excellent money factor and I'm assuming its not a Honda lease? If not, make sure you know the turn-in details (acquisition fees, wear & tear info).
For comparison, my 36/15k lease runs $415 with $2k down, but this is including a 7% tax on the entire vehicle price (yeah, I'm from one of those states :mad: ). My cap cost w/o tax was about $30,100 and my MF was .00146. Drive it home, you'll love it! -
mjo1 Posts: 16Thanks for the reply. The cap cost is actually $32,007 based on my calculations - That's invoice+$300 ($30,942+$300)plus destination ($670) plus what the dealer told me is the non-negotiable acquisition fee ($595). I'm not sure what you mean by a Honda lease. It's the number the dealer gave me. I won't commit to anything until I know the turn-in details.
mlb11 Posts: 31A honda lease is one that is through Honda financing. They have the reputation of being one of the more lenient when turning in the car (i.e. no acquisition fees, $1500 excessive wear & tear waiver, convenient inspection and turn-in locations). This is my 3rd lease through honda and I am very happy with their service - they also have a nice online access page through owner's link where you can montior your lease details and make e-payments if you want. Friends of mine have gone through Chase and Wells-Fargo before and not had the benefits typically included in Honda financed vehicles.....just check the fine print and I'm sure you'll be fine! Enjoy!

As our nation struggles to jumpstart the economy and put more people back to work, Senator Blunt knows that economic stability and certainty are vital to ensuring that businesses grow and create more private-sector jobs for Missourians. Unfortunately, uncertainty in the marketplace undermines job creation by limiting long-term business planning and disrupting strategic growth and investment opportunities for businesses small and large.
Senator Blunt knows that small business drives our economy. Over the past 15 years, small businesses have created nearly two-thirds of all new jobs and currently account for just over half of all private sector jobs. Senator Blunt is a firm believer in the power of private enterprise. The federal government's role in job creation should be to facilitate an economic environment of certainty. Individuals and businesses that risk their resources and money to create jobs and expand should be rewarded and incentivized, not punished with new regulations and taxes.
Lower taxes mean more money for businesses to expand operations and create jobs. Senator Blunt voted to permanently extend current tax rates for the majority of Americans. Having worked hard to get these tax policies passed in 2001 and 2003 as a leader in the House, Senator Blunt voted at the beginning of 2013 to protect middle class families and small business owners from the largest tax hike in American history. Senator Blunt fought to permanently protect 99% of taxpayers from a tax increase, provide economic certainty for every American, and ensure the vast majority of Missouri's farm families will not face the unfair death tax.
Senator Blunt believes that sound tax policy must work in tandem with responsible spending, including prioritizing discretionary spending in our federal budget and cutting unnecessary, duplicative programs. The unsustainable path of spending and borrowing must be reversed. The nation's record debt has surpassed $16.5 trillion – and is rising. Now is the time to reverse these failed spending policies and once again place the United States on sound financial footing.
Unfortunately in recent years, the Senate Majority has abdicated its Constitutional responsibility to pass an annual federal budget. This has led to reckless spending that has burdened future generations with record debt while millions of Americans look for jobs. Senator Blunt knows that Congress must work together to spend taxpayers' dollars more wisely, pay down our debt, and put America on an economic path to encourage private businesses to innovate and invest for the future.
Senator Blunt believes that Congress should ensure that the federal government itself isn't the chief obstacle to growth and job creation. The federal government's regulatory policies should recognize how private businesses invest, create jobs, and spur economic growth.
Senator Blunt wants to repeal onerous and unnecessary regulations because the cost to all businesses, particularly small businesses, is too high. According to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), small businesses spend an astonishing $74 an hour on paperwork compliance, a crushing burden of time and resources. It's no wonder Missouri job creators of all kinds are calling on Congress to reduce regulatory burdens during these difficult economic times.

Famous Cubs Fans
May 8th, 2009With the Cubs coming into town today, I thought it'd be a good time to look at famous Cubs fans throughout history. This is a team with a rich history of fandom that needs to be appreciated.
The pictorial of some of the more famous Cubs fans is after the jump.
3 comments on "Famous Cubs Fans"
I read your blog often, but I'm a Cubs fan. Any real Cubs fan (ie. actually watches the game rather than being drunk and sunbaked in the bleachers) despises Ronnie Woo-Woo. If I could find a way to make his homeless ass disappear forever without going to jail, I would.
not just SOME random drunk. i prefer THE random drunk. nice pic of romo.
Did u say cubs fan r fair weather? As a baseball fan not of the cubs, thats just idiotic

• Global Creations & Interiors (66-079 Kamehameha Highway, 808-637-1780, www.globalcreationsart.com): Find unique Hawaii crafts, art and other gifts at this funky Haleiwa store. The shop carries works by North Shore artists, handcrafted ukuleles, sarongs, books, beach jewelry, even shell spoons. One of our favorite items: the made-in-Hawaii "ecohashi," a cloth napkin wrapped around reusable bamboo chopsticks.
• Guava Shop (66-165 Kamehameha Highway, 808-637-9670, www.guavahawaii.com): Run by two born-and-raised-on-the-North-Shore fashionistas, this casual beachy-chic boutique in Haleiwa offers an impressive selection of dresses, tops, denim and other beach essentials from a variety of designers. One of our favorite items here: Kai Body Lotion, the line's classic scented moisturizer with safflower oil, shea butter, apricot kernel oil and cucumber fruit extract.
• Haleiwa Art Gallery (66-252 Kamehameha Highway, 877-353-5763, www.haleiwaartgallery.com): This is Haleiwa's oldest art gallery, featuring fine artwork from more than 30 Pacific Island artists.
5. End your day with a slice of pie at Sunny Side Bakery

While most folks cruising the North Shore stop by the more famous Ted's Bakery near Sunset Beach for a slice of homemade pie, we suggest heading back to town through Wahiawa and pulling in at Sunny Side Bakery. This smallish, hard-to-find bakery makes some of the best pies we've tasted, including a double-crusted banana pie and an ever-popular blueberry cream pie. Slices are about $1.50 each. Trust us, the experience will be priceless.

News for October 2008
Welcome to Arkham
By Richard Launius
Arkham Horror
| Published 15 October 2008
Welcome to Arkham...
by Richard Launius
First time to Arkham? – then you are in for a real adventure. Whether you played the first edition of Arkham Horror, or are returning as an experienced player, I think you will like the new city layout, graphics, and location decisions that you can now make. While I will always cherish what I consider to be the classic Arkham board, the new edition has been enhanced in a number of ways that add to both the play of the game while better reflecting the dark mood of an H.P. Lovecraft story visually.
One of the issues players always vocalized to me about the original Arkham Horror game was that there was no guide provided about where to go to achieve certain encounters. This was especially important for new players. While wandering around the town and learning the adventures was part of the fun and charm of the game, it was also frustrating to spend several turns to get to a location only to find that what you needed could not be obtained there. Sure, it was clear that if you went into Black Cave the encounters would most likely be more dangerous than visiting Velma's Diner, but the players did not know the most prevalent encounters at each location without reading through the Encounter Folder. This was one of the issues that we wanted to improve in the new board design. Therefore, we added encounter icons to each location identifying the two most prevalent encounters experienced there. In game mechanics terms, this means that there will be more cards with these encounters at the locations than any other type of encounters. The addition of these icons make it easier for new as well as experienced players to easily determine the best places for them to visit to obtain the item, skill, or specific encounter type while still providing a broad range of events that keeps the game interesting play after play.
Another major change from the original game board is the diversity of the locations. For example, the simplicity of a single building representing all of the Miskatonic University Campus in the original game was something that I felt needed to be expanded to better reflect the various aspects of a college campus. Therefore Miskatonic University grew into three locations – the Administration Building, the Library, and the Science Building. Each location offers very different encounters that are more specific to their location than the generic six encounters that made up all aspects of academic and campus life in the first edition game. Additionally, there are special encounters at many locations that appear on the board, which players can choose rather than drawing a random encounter. While there were a few locations in the original game that had standard activities that could be chosen by the player, the activities were mostly limited to retainers and the improvement of health or sanity. The new Arkham City board offers much more variety and many more choices. For example, at the Miskatonic University Administration Building, the player can choose to take a class and pay $8 to draw 2 Skill Cards and keep one of their choice, or draw a card for a random encounter. At the Science Building the player may choose to Dissect one of the monsters they killed to gain 2 Clue Tokens or they can draw a random Science Building encounter, which they can see by the icons associated that the encounter will most likely net them a Magic Item or a Clue Tokens - but at the same time could result in anything from gaining an ally to having your character's soul ripped from his body, to be switched with another character simply because they held a strange statue. That's one of my favorite encounters.
There are many other locations throughout the city that have been changed, also granting the players a standard choice, like shopping in the General Store or entering the Inner Sanctum of the Silver Twilight Lodge if your character has become a member. That's right – your character can now become a member of the Silver Twilight Lodge! If that occurs, the secrets of the lodge become open to your character as never before – granting both the rewards and the horror that come to those who learn that which should not be known. On the other end of the spectrum, characters may prove themselves strong protectors of the city and chose to become Deputies on the Arkham Police Force when they visit the Police Station.
The message you should get from reading this article is that we have done significant work to make locations more versatile, and encounters – well, MORE – more in every sense of the word. More interesting, more balanced in skill usage, more strategic in planning moves, more detailed based upon the character's status and more choices for the player to make. Since we moved to cards rather than encounter charts, the game is also more expandable, since additional encounter cards could easily be added to the location decks. (Please note that at present there are not plans to expand the game.) In the end we hope this makes the game more fun for you to play while assuring that each game will be different and exciting.

School-based Dental Sealant Program
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) School-based Dental Sealant Program (SDSP) is part of a comprehensive state-wide Oral Health Program to promote evidenced-based prevention strategies in order to achieve optimal oral health for all Minnesotans. Funding for Minnesota's Oral Health Program is provided by grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
- 2013 School-Based Sealant RFA (PDF: 528KB/21 pages)
- Minnesota School-based Dental Sealant Program Manual
(PDF: 508KB/41 pages)
Target Priorities
School-based dental sealant programs target 6-8 year olds. After losing their state funding, one oral health program was asked by a local health department:"Can we also apply sealants on molars of other age groups (those children who lost their sealants and/or never received sealants)? Would there be any benefit from doing that?"
- Placing sealants on children older than 7 and replacing "lost" sealants does no harm, and may provide some protective benefit. The reason to target
6-8 year olds for sealants has to do with resource allocation based on highest risk.
The greatest risk for occlusal decay is in the first 18 months following eruption, with risk declining afterwards, all things being equal. Thus, dedicating efforts to 6-8 year olds will produce the best cost benefit (cost efficiency) ratio. Teeth that have not yet decayed by age 8 are likely in kids with lower risk of decay, so applying sealants will produce a less robust cost efficiency. This does not address the situation if the 8 year olds have incipient occlusal decay. These kids can't be included in the group of unsealed-without-decay, as they are on the path to decay and sealants would be highly beneficial.
Likewise, some studies have indicated that even sealants that appear to have been lost (hence the quotation marks) are actually retained within the fissures and are affording protection. So the benefit of replacing sealants is less than that of sealing newly erupted, never before sealed teeth.
So the question you ask is more an economic question of resource allocation than a clinical question. If funding is tight and allocations must be made, it's likely that the priority ranking that will produce most efficiency would be: targeting 6-8 year olds first, then never-before sealed first molars in kids closer to 6-8, then never sealed older kids, then finally resealing kids with lost sealants.
The Minnesota Department of Health Oral Health Program concurs with this response because it reflects current evidence-based knowledge of the science behind dental sealants when used in public health settings.

Once children have their permanent teeth, dental sealants provide the protection for the back teeth, or molars. Dental sealants cover the deep grooves in permanent molars so that decay is much less likely to start. Sealants are applied when children get their first molars between five to seven years of age and when they get their second set of permanent molars around the age of eleven to fourteen.

Lesson plan: Eric Dexheimer's "Friend or Foe," in the December 13 issue, was the most frightening story I've read in a long time. I understand that colleges need to aggressively pursue accusations of sexual assault (are you listening, University of Colorado football recruiters?), but it seems that Colorado State University officials have taken this too far.
Isn't anyone responsible for his/her own actions anymore? It seems to me that if Mike Kochevar had to leave school, then Sarah should have been kicked out, too. (It's clear that both Sarah and Mike were at fault here, at least to some degree.) A better course of action, though, would have been for both students to be allowed to remain, sadder and wiser after this very unfortunate lesson.
Maggie Fulton
via the Internet
Bed alert: Has the world gone mad, or is it me? Ladies, experimenting with your sexual freedom does not mean you get to have sleepovers with your buddies and accuse them of rape. It sounds like no one was very honest about what they wanted from the beginning, and now two lives are in shambles. Their disparate views on what kind of relationship they actually had is astounding, and I quote: "She never had any interest in Mike anyway." Then what was she doing in bed with him? Friendship is built on communication and trust, so I don't know what these two had, but it was not a friendship. "Hooking up" comes not with less responsibility, but more, much more.
Some things never change, and my advice to the young ladies of today is the same as it has been for centuries: Put the bottle down. Keep your pants on, especially when in bed with a man with whom you have no intention of "making it." Know your boundaries, learn to articulate them. Because no means no, but turning away and saying nothing means... nothing. And trust me, leaving it up to a twenty-something-year-old male with an erection to read your mind will have the same outcome every time.
Barbara Macfarlane
A facism in the crowd: Thirty years of so-called "feminism" have taken us from the ridiculous to the sublime. Women want to be equals in the workplace, but weak and victimized everywhere else -- capable of being mesmerized by charismatic, evil, mustache-twirling men and forced into decisions they haven't the will to resist. Why didn't you use the real name of "Sarah," since you used Mike's? Why are men held accountable for their crimes and not women? What about a woman who leaves her infant son to die and then is given custody of him? How far are we going to let this nonsense go?
It's time to take off the blinders and see "feminism" for what it really is: a new fascism that is in fact thoroughly anti-feminist in every respect. It is nothing more than an immature nihilistic movement of spoiled brats who set out to trash the past and are now seeing how far they can take it. You want an example of a feminist? Margaret Thatcher.
What has happened to this young man at CSU and many others like him is criminal. I hope his poor mother and other women will come to see how dangerous this really is and how far it could go. Making love is now a game of "Mother may I?" on college campuses.
I remain a dyed-in-the-wool bleeding-heart liberal. Les Miserables is my favorite novel. Am I the only person who can recognize fascism when he sees it?
Marty Goldstein
Bowling for dolors: I read with surprise the December 13 "Buffs Taken Aback," by Bill Gallo (a writer I enjoy), about CU and the Bowl Championship Series rankings, which directed so much venom and fury toward Nebraska (and dragged up the same tired old jokes). All Nebraska fans I know (myself included) tip our caps to CU for a terrific victory over our beloved Big Red on November 23. However, we are not as inclined to overlook CU's two (ugly) losses as is Gallo, who calls them meaningless. There are no meaningless losses in college football if you want to be champs, which is one of the beautiful things about the sport: i.e., all games matter.
The BCS is not the fault of Nebraska, and the Nebraska fans I know do not try to justify Nebraska's undeserved good fortune. But quit crying, Gallo. Your team was not gypped. One-loss conference champions Oregon, Illinois and Maryland are the teams with a reason to be angry.
Jeff Butters
The geek shall inherit the earth: Not only was I disgusted with Alan Prendergast's "I'm Full of Hate and I Love It," in the December 6 issue, but it showed that people like him were the root of the problem. Instead of being completely neutral on the subject, Prendergast decided to give his profound insights into Eric Harris's life from his personal journal entries. At the finish, the author says: "That is how the journal ends -- not with the howl of the wolf-god, but the whine of the pathetic geek who can't land a prom date."

In October the National Republican Congressional Committee sent an e-mail to supporters that was signed by former Notre Dame football coach and current ESPN contributor Lou Holtz.
"My friend, YOU, are the NRCC's 12th man and they urgently need your help to win every U.S. House seat possible, fire Nancy Pelosi, and elect a Republican to the Speaker's chair this November," Holtz told recipients.
Holtz has long identified himself as a Republican and supporter of Republican causes, but his overt political involvement with the e-mail campaign was not acceptable to ESPN.
"We have discussed this with him and he will not be involved in any future similar efforts," ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys told SportsNewser at the time.
Like any organization that publishes news in print and on the web, or broadcasts on TV and the radio, ESPN has over the years developed polices regarding ethics, standards and principles. When issues like the Holtz one arise, they find themselves having to either update existing policies, create new ones, or enforce something that's already written down.
ESPN's editorial policies and standards have been scattered throughout different part of the organization. But yesterday I was given an advance briefing about the company's first-ever Editorial Guidelines for Standards & Practices, a hard copy binder and digital document that will be available to all editorial and camera-facing employees starting next week. ESPN ombudsman Don Ohlmeyer mentioned the Guidelines in a column today, and John Walsh, ESPN executive vice president and executive editor of ESPN.com, appeared on ESPN Radio today at 10:45 a.m. in order to answer questions and respond to any editorial concerns from ESPN listeners.
The latter is part of what Patrick Stiegman, ESPN's vice president and executive editor of online content for ESPN Digital Media, said is part of a new commitment to transparency at ESPN. It will see top editorial brass participate in regular radio appearances and online chats in order to respond to fan questions and concerns about coverage.
"There were times when stories have come up where it wasn't so much that I felt like there was an internal agenda to withhold information as much as I feel we could have better served ourselves and our audience by being more forthright," Stiegman said. "There are stories that have come up in the last year, whether it was Ben Roethlisburger story, where some people were critical of us by saying we didn't act fast enough, or The Decision, where people were critical of us because we didn't disclose the nature of the ground rules for the LeBron James interview."
The Editorial Guidelines include a new section dedicated to transparency, in addition to thirteen other chapters: Commentary, General Reporting & Editing, Sourcing, Attribution, Civil Suits, Criminal Activity, Media Criticism, Social Networking, Outside Activity, Political Advocacy, Presidential Elections, Advertising, and Corrections.
"We aggregated all of our policies to make sure we are as contemporary in our thinking as possible," Stiegman told me. "That included learning from the best and looking at the best examples of editorial guidelines elsewhere, and focusing on the issues that crop up in a multi-platform multimedia real-time news organization that we have here at ESPN."
One specific challenge for ESPN relates to the Holtz situation. The company's content is created by a combination of journalists, producers, researchers, analysts, on air hosts, and former professional athletes, coaches, and executives. Boxing writer Dan Rafael is likely well versed in traditional journalism values and standards. Lou Holtz, not so much.
Stiegman said the goal with the Guidelines is to create a master set of codes that would be accessible to all editorial employees, and be easily searchable and constantly updated. He emphasized this is a "living document" that's "aspirational" in nature.
"It's something that is going to be in evolution and be reviewed and revised on a regular basis," he said. "We don't want this to be the Ten Commandments that are placed in stone and be something we can't adjust as the world adjusts."
Yes, a living document is good. It will never be finished and must always be adapted to meet new realities and challenges. And, yes, making it easily available to all relevant employees is essential. Too many news organizations leave their guidelines to gather dust in a drawer. Standards and guidelines are empty words if they aren't integrated into the internal culture and processes of an organization.
External concerns, however, are just as important. That's acknowledged in the section about transparency, and it's also the source of my initial concern after learning about the document. I'm referring to the fact that ESPN won't be making the Guidelines public. Simply put, it's hard to judge if an organization is living up to its standards if you don't know what the standards are.

Shopping Mad Men: Attention to Detail
The latest episode of Mad Men, "Man With a Plan," is all about control—namely, who has it and who doesn't. Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce merges with Cutler, Gleason, and Chaough, a business union that brings major power shifts. Bob Benson's sucking up to the bosses finally pays off, and to Peggy's great chagrin, she must once again work with Don. Speaking of Don, he imprisons Sylvia in a hotel room and generally acts like a psycho. Sigh.
As usual, all of the power struggles and uncomfortable moments came with some very well-choreographed outfits. Plain, buttoned-up ensembles were spiced up with awesome accents and patterns. The bottom line of this episode? You can give a girl a crappy office, but you can't take away her style. Click through to shop our favorite looks from Episode 7.

I love pictures of other people's flowers. So, this post is for all those pictures that have never gotten posted before.
Honestly, I don't care if you only have one Passiflora, and it is P. caerulea... post your favorite picture. If you don't know how, let me know and I, (or someone who beats me to it), can instruct you. Is it blooming today? Last week? Last month? Last year? It doesn't matter. Post it anyway, as some flowers have never been seen be many people. You don't need a reason, or a description, or anything other than the name. Don't feel obligated to type a whole paragraph about it, though that is kindly taken as well. I'll put some on tomorrow or the next day. I think I have a few that will be fun to share. Happy photo taking! Eric |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Dave, I saw 'Mission Dolores' (P. parritae x P. antioquiensis) in bloom on Saturday and was really impressed. Obviously the flowers are bigger than antioquiensis--but particularly striking are the peduncles--on average are they longer? Is the plant more floriferous? Does it bloom at a relatively small size? And is it self-fertile? Lots of questions, as usual. Thanks. |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (email@example.com) on Tue, Jul 14, 09 at 21:43
Eric, I think it's amazing how P. loefgrenii x P. caerulea really looks like a roughly equal mix of the two flowers. You could look at it and quickly figure out who the parents are. |
That's one of the reason's I posted that comparative picture. Isn't that neat? The peduncles are even almost the same length, about 7 inches. The P. loefgrenii is obviously the more spectacular of the two, and though you can't see it in the picture, it is actually much larger. The hybrid seems to be right smack in between the parents as far as size goes, as well. The nice thing about the hybrid is the P. caerulea component makes it tolerate much lower temps in winter. The P. loefgrenii doesn't like frost at all. Eric |

- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Aug 7, 09 at 10:46
You need to use one of the picture hosting sites like Photobucket. |
- Posted by louisianamark 9 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 10, 09 at 2:18
Hi Eric, I really like that loefgreni x caerulea, but just to clarify--the pollen donor was caerulea? Also, how do you post the photos so that they show up, rather than just appearing as a link? I have a Flickr account, but can't figure out how to get the pics to show up in the post. Thanks! |
Hi, I use Flickr too. You need to click on the picture in "my photostream", then click on "all sizes" at the top of it. Then click on the size you want to display. It will then display the picture in the size you have chosen. Below the picture will be the .html code. Cut and paste that code into your posting on GW. Josh |
Passiflora 'Manta' (P. xiikzodz x P. coriacea). Delivered to me on Saturday by Eric, from his friend Kevin. It opened one flower on Saturday, two on Sunday and one today. You'll notice there's actually a cluster of buds (I know there's a "real" name for that...). There are 3 such sites on the plant where buds are opening. |
Here are a few recent blooms and a couple from last year. This one is quickly becoming my favorite, P. 'Guglielmo Betto'. P. serratifolia P. 'ByTe' (Byron Beauty x Temptation) Byron Beauty x Inspiration x Temptation Incense x incarnata ~kiwinut |
- Posted by louisianamark 9 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 11, 09 at 23:32
Ok, I think I've figured it out (thanks for the tip Josh). Here is probably my favorite--Blue Eyed Susan, with a double bloom: I really like my nephrodes too, even though it goes a while between setting off blooms: I had a retipetala plant a couple of years ago that only put out a single bloom, then eventually languished and died (I think the Miracle Gro potting soil it was in was too acidic). Fortunately, I have another one that I am growing from seed, but it is a first year plant, so it won't bloom until next year. Here is one of my Incense x caerulea hybrids that bloomed this summer. I still haven't decided if I want to register it. It looks somewhat similar to Blue Bouquet. Here is the second Incense x caerulea. I have about 5 or 6 more that haven't bloomed yet. That's all for now! |
I LOVE all the pics! Keep them coming. Here's a new one for me. This is a very different P. foetida from the other one I posted. I'll try to get pics of my P. colinvauxii downloaded soon, as well as others as they bloom. I can't wait for Crystal's 2008 hybrids to bloom. Two different ones have buds on them! Eric Wortman |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (email@example.com) on Thu, Aug 13, 09 at 1:09
Eric I love that foetida. I didn't know there was a blue variety. I've only seen the white and pink. |
Hi Karyn, I didn't know there was a blue one either! Wait... perhaps there isn't. This was from a plant purchased from Georgia Vines many years ago by a friend. I am not very familiar with the consistency of that nursery, so for all I know, it could be mislabeled. The question then is, "What is it?" It has all the characteristics of a P. foetida, though there are certainly others closely related. Here's a pic of the bract: I have a picture of the leaf on the "leaves" string. If anyone has any idea what this may be other than P. foetida, please let me know. Eric |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Aug 14, 09 at 10:51
Eric the only passion vine I have that has the similar lacy calyx (?) besides the foetida is the Palmeri var Sublancelata. That bud looks the same as the foetida and sublancelata that I have but the foliage is completely different. My foetida and sublancelata have small unlobed leaves but for all I know there's other types of foetida foliage. If you don't get a definitive answer here maybe you'll be able to get one at the PSI meeting next month. |

Heres some sunburst flowers....I was a bit bored in the greenhouse plus I needed to dispose of the smelly flowers. Adularia perfoliata citrina foetida aurantia...unusual little guy tricuspis and lastly colinvauxii I feel like I posted to many pics but I was in the moment hehe...first time posting pics on here so it took me a bit haha. Enjoy! Kevin |

I love all the Passie pics! There are quite a few that are pictured that I would love to have in my own collection and quite a few that I can't wait to bloom on my own vine ;-). I thought I would add a few commoners that aren't posted on here just for the fun of it! P. sanguinolenta
P. 'Lady Margaret'
P. 'Crimson Tears' funky and mutated as it can sometimes be
P. amethystina 'Minas Gerais'
Hope to see more Passies from you all! |

'Amethyst' or 'Lavender Lady' - P. mucronata - P. loefgrenii - Lady Margaret - P. biflora - P. 'Incense' - P. caerulea - Probable P. 'Blue Bouquet' - Anastasia didn't come back for me, but I liked it while it lasted - Sherry |

Cruising isn't just about sailing over vast expanses of ocean - some of the best cruise experiences can be found in the winding rivers and waterways of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Even if you're a cruising veteran, a smaller river ship, barge or river boat will grant you a completely new and unique experience of travelling on the water.
Check out our latest river cruises deals, or contact a cruising specialist for more details.
River cruises are a chance to see exotic lands and historical cities like you've never seen them before. From winding medieval streets and elegant architecture to steamy jungles and bustling marketplaces, a river cruise allows you to get closer and see more.
There's seeing Egypt, and there's seeing Egypt from a boat on the River Nile, cruising on a traditional felucca past ancient temples and cities. On a Viking River Cruise, you can experience the great waterways of the world, from the Middle East and Asia to East and West Europe. Discover the Valley of Kings or the Avenue of the Sphinxes in total comfort, sharing the wonders of the world with fellows travellers on your luxurious river cruise.
With APT you can cruise close to home or explore the far corners of the world. Why not spend Christmas cruising the waters of Europe and North America? A winter cruise holiday is a unique and magical holiday, and one that your family will remember for many years to come.
If you're after a more intimate holiday, if you want to make new friends and get to know the Captain and staff on your vessel, a river cruise is definitely the choice for you. With smaller boats and fewer passengers you'll find more attentive service, a great camaraderie among the guests and staff who'll feel more like friends by the end of your holiday.
Of course, the added benefit of a smaller ship is that when you arrive at port, you are immediately in the heart of your destination. Simply step off the boat and head out to a local taverna for dinner, hire a bicycle for a ride through Amsterdam or stroll around Europe's charming Christmas markets in winter.
Cruiseabout offers great river cruises deals, so why not enquire today?

EDINBURG — New details on the arrest of a former Edinburg North high school quarterback Joel Cuellar who has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child. Police reports say he committed the crime three to four times in the past three month on a 11 year-old boy. An officer found Cuellar in his car with the young boy Friday morning near a park in McAllen. Cuellar lied about his age to the officer stating he was 16 years-old and the victim being 14 years-old. Cuellar stated to the officer that both he and the boy were gay. Cuellar was able to post bond and was released from jail on Saturday morning.

Welcome to Lowell Observatory's new Web site.
For now, the site has four main areas. Two are devoted to research — you can read about our astronomers' projects and get all the latest news about the Discovery Channel Telescope. Two are about how you can be part of Lowell — what you can do when you visit us here on Mars Hill, and how you can support our mission of astronomical research and outreach. Taken together, this all should give you a complete picture of a special place.
Here on the blog, we'll regularly post press releases and other news items. You can also connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.
We've enjoyed creating this new site, and we thank Julie Sullivan (Julie Sullivan Design) and Nancy Riccio (Plateau Mediaworks) for all their work getting it together for us. We hope you find it informative and enjoyable.

My girlfriend has one Boston Terrier in her family and it's activeness borders on insane. She is about a year to a year and a half old and is fixed. Any time someone enters the home she is immediately jumping at their legs wanting to sniff and lick what she can.
Even sitting down on the couch she runs around you seemingly trying to find out "what you're doing." only after a half an hour does she settle down and sit, but usually she's running rampant.
She continually licks everything she finds interesting... The carpet, hands, feet, couch cushions, towels, etc.
However, the worst part about her is that she, literally, needs to be the center of everything. Whether it's watching a movie, sitting with my girlfriend on the couch, laying in bed, or sleeping. She needs to be in the middle of something.
TV: If you're by yourself, she finds a way to be in between you and the TV, yet she never seems to pay attention to either (the person or the TV)
Sitting on the couch watching TV with another person: Takes any chance she gets to fit her way in between the two people and stays still for 10 seconds every 1 minute only to stare off into space and start licking faces or body parts.
Laying in bed: Does the same thing as above if you're with someone else
Sleeping: I like to sleep with my legs spread apart and this dog absolutely LOVES sleeping in between them, on top of the blanket. So it makes it unbelievably hard to move your legs when sleeping.
I understand that some dogs are just very very active, but this seems so incredibly ridiculous that it's hard to restrain frustration.
I scold her whenever she disobeys direction but it feels almost like talking to a cat... but instead of just ignoring you she just jumps on you and tries to be in your face at all times.
