text: The Doors are one of my favorite bands of all time, Jim Morrison is a fucking interesting guy if nothing else, 'No One Here Gets Out Alive' is a book I've read more times than any other book. Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugerman do an impeccable job of bringing you into Jim Morrison's world. A biography that takes you from being Jim Morrison the child going on vacation with his family to the conspiracy theories surrounding The Door's front man's mysterious death. Most of this book seems to be direct account of Jim Morrison almost as if he were being interviewed for the entire thing. 384 pages, I cannot recommend this enough if you're a fan of one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Three years ago I ordered just one tree from Gardenerschoice.com
This tree was suppose to have two kinds of plums, nectarens,
The first year of production all I got was peaches on the tree, and I told Gardenerschoice that they sent the wrong tree. The guy said too much time had passed to return the tree. How could I know at an earlier time that the tree would only produce peaches? There was know way to know until the first year of production. Should this company admit to a mistake and send the right tree? |

Ween, La Cucaracha (Rounder). Dumb lyrics and smart tunes are Ween's trademark, and this latest album is no exception. If you can get over — or be amused by — the locker-room juvenilia in the lyrics, these songs will absolutely amaze. Sure, there are a couple of throwaways here, but the best material ranks among Ween's strongest. — Casciato
Kanye West, Graduation (G.O.O.D. Music/Universal). With his third album, Kanye West proves that he's one of the most consistent artists in the game. Whatever he delivers, it's sure to be cocky and arrogant, yet you can't stop singing along and bumping the disc in the ride for months at a time. — Salazar-Moreno
White Rabbits, Fort Nightly (Say Hey Records). This rollicking, raucous NYC collective makes bittersweet, piano-driven garage rock that would make both Mott the Hoople and Arcade Fire grin with glee. From glistening summer pop to greasy alleyway rock, White Rabbits' dual drummers and dueling vocalists turn in an eccentric, eclectic set that still manages to be almost aggravatingly hummable. — Eyl
Saul Williams, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust (Self-released). Taking a cue from Radiohead, Saul Williams offered Niggy Tardust as a free download, or you could pony up $5 — a steal either way. Produced by Trent Reznor, Tardust's mix of industrial beats coupled with Williams's fiery brand of hip-hop results in a brilliant-sounding album. — Salazar-Moreno
The Winter Sounds, Porcelain Empire (Livewire Recordings). Making synthesizer-heavy swirly pop with breathy vocals and emotions held at a simmer, the Winter Sounds could be mistaken for an early-'90s British shoegaze outfit. In fact, this ensemble rides in on clouds and gossamer from Athens, Georgia, injecting its retro sound with that town's lengthy and estimable indie-rock heritage. — Eyl
Witchcraft, The Alchemist (Rise Above Records). Heavy music from Sweden is nothing new, but these Scandinavian sickos bring vintage amps, '70s psychedelia and Sabbath to their black celebration. Stellar songwriting and melodies make The Alchemist a standout among this year's metallic offerings. Before corporate radio neutered classic rock, it stung like this. Your dad will love it, too. — Eyl
Wu-Tang Clan, 8 Diagrams (Loud Records/Universal). Despite what Ghostface and Raekwon think about the new release, 8 Diagrams is miles ahead of Wu-Tang's last efforts, The W and Iron Flag. These are still some of the best MCs to ever touch the mike, and RZA remains an absolute genius on the beats. — Salazar-Moreno

Daily Mail savages Modern Warfare 3 for "recreating" the 7/7 London bombings
British newspaper links MW3 trailer to terrorist attacks in London, calls for banning IW's military shooter.
Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been accused by British tabloid newspaper the Daily Mail of portraying "a chilling echo" of the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London.
The newspaper's article points out to a sort of controversial scene from the premiere gameplay trailer of Modern Warfare 3, which shows flashy snippets of numerous landmarks from big cities getting attacked across the world, including New York's Wall Street and the Underground train service in London.
In addition, the Daily Mail alleges that numerous people affected by the 2005 London attacks are seeking media attention to ban Infinity Ward's military shooter.
Spokesperson for campaign group Mediawatch UK. Vivienne Pattison expressed concerns, as she claims that these games are "hyper-real" and they depict familiar landscapes.
"In light of the fact we have just had the 7/7 inquests, it is in incredibly poor taste," she said.
Though, Activision issued a statement explaining that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 "is an action game aimed at mature adults and set in World War Three. The scenes in the game are entirely fictional and are not intended to recreate any historical events."
While Modern Warfare 3 is nearly 6 months away from release, we can bet that the game already thrived in taking a grip on the bandwagon of media buzz.

On farm pick up only.Pick up days are Tuesday and Thursday.5pm to 7pm
We used to do the CSA delivery thing but found that by doing so there was zero connection/community between the CSA members and the farm. We feel that CSA is an amazing way to reconnect eaters with where and how their food is grown. This is perhaps the most important aspect of the CSA idea/ideal. But in order for this to happen the eaters have to come to the farm. So that is why we have on farm pick up only. Plus it allows us to do a market style pick-up where our members get to choose exactly what they want in their weekly share
A share should feed 1 to 2 vegetarians (or omnivores who already eat 5+ helpings of produce daily) or 3 to 5 people who are basically meat eaters some of their produce needs for a week The shares are seasonal and will change weekly and monthly

Re: STL 49: Power Tool Power
Hey Ed- I wouldn't call it 'blather' at all. You apparently just misspoke. Either way, the podcast is a staple of my Saturday mornings. I enjoy it immensely, laugh, cry, hurl, and always learn something. Keep it up, Buddy!
BTW: I caught Mike's video on ammonia fuming with 'regular' ammonia. Guess that answered the question we discussed last year. Talk to you soon.
Re: STL 49: Power Tool Power
Hey gentlemen. Don't let our pal Ed do any wiring for you. 230 volt equipment does indeed require two circuit breakers on each 115V leg - but there is no "neutral"! The third wore is the Ground! Current does not, (or should not under normal operations), flow in that wire. It flows only between the 115V legs. The voltage in these is out of phase by 180 degrees, so the voltage across them is 2 X 115 or 230V. As the current flowing out of one leg must return through the other, the breakers see identical current. Therefore, if you have a pair of 20 amp breakers on your 230V circuit, you have a 20A circuit - not 40 amps.
Also, with motor ratings, efficiency is a huge issue as alluded to in the podcast. Universal motors, (really AC/DC motors), have efficiencies at load on the order of 60%, or even less. This means that when loaded, they not only slow down, but they get HOT. Table saws, Matt's big jointer, and other stationary equipment use induction motors. These run at constant speed, regardless of load, and are much more efficient - on the order of 85-90%. Very large, 3-phase motors achieve better than 95%. All this means they run far cooler at a given mechanical output than universal types.
All this is why we use induction motors for table saws. If you substituted your 3 HP router motor in your table saw and tried to rip 8/4 oak stock with it, you would shortly see smoke coming from the stock as the blade slowed down, and shortly thereafter from the motor. After that, it would billow from the base of the saw cabinet as the molten metal from the motor fell into the dust collection area.
Re: Video Sneak-Peek of New Groundbreaking Video Workshop Series
I loved the cabinet maker's triangle done with the Sharpie. Classic!

I have two hard disk drives. My primary drive is 232 GB. I have a second hard drive that is one TB and I partitioned it to 234 GB and what is left over from that. I would like to use the 234 GB partition for backup and the rest for general file storage and shuffling. What free program would be best for doing this. Thanks. Pooh Bear |
Follow-Up Postings:
I did about the same thing except with an EHD. Used Easus Partition Master 9.2.1 Home Edition and the W/7 (Home Premium) backup program puts it onto my choice of partitions on the EHD (if it gets turned on). I think when you start the W/7 backup it recognizes all and presents you a choice of locations. Hard to remember the details exactly - it hasn't been long enough ago. :-) |
I like the easeUS Todo backup Free version. I set it to standard priority and medium compression and don't even notice it when it set to run 2x weekly and saves 4 images. You can browse it and retrieve any file or folder out of the image in a normal manner. Re-images work fine. (About 13gb win8 sys img). But Windows 7 system image works fine too... best to make task for wbAdmin to run it for me. Unless windows updates or something it runs every day maybe 3 minutes.to do its Incremental block system back up here. (about 30gb.) |

EaseUS Todo backup seems to get great reviews from my searches on Google. So I'm trying it out. Thanks. Pooh Bear |
I don't know the one you're trying, but I've found SyncBack to be very flexible and easy to use. You can set it to run on a schedule or simply trigger the backups when you wish. It's free to download. You don't say, but your "second" drive is suitable to use for backups if it's external and detached from the PC when not in use, and it wouldn't be suitable for backups if it's internal or always connected. |

My second drive is internal. I originally wanted to run RAID 1 but my computer guy said something about not being able to do that with my particular setup. With EaseUS Todo backup, if I do have a failure of the first drive, Pooh Bear |
The W/7 backup did 2 things: it cloned the itself on one of my partitions, backs up the data on another. It's all set up and programed to do that. Did you read thru W/7 backup help? |
I am confused about something. The poster wants to back up his computer on his computer instead of an external HD. Wouldn't you lose everything if your computer crashed. I had one that would not come on at all. I took it to a repair shop and they said the hard drive was bad and it cost $300. to replace it, I decided on a new one. I would have lost everything if I had not used an external HD. |
- Posted by poohbear2767 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 15, 13 at 21:15
I'm backing up a hard drive on my computer to a different hard drive on my computer. If one hard drive goes bad, I still have the other one with all my data on it. One computer, two separate physical hard drives. It's the same principle as backing up to an external drive. The backup drive just happens to be conveniently located inside the computer. Pooh Bear |
I have used the EaseUSToDo free backup for several years on my XP computer, except to an external HDD. When you are ready to restore, that choice is available, and it does a great job. In fact, I had to use the restore feature about a year ago, and I didn't lose anything. |
poohbear, my computer wouldn't start up for me or the shop that evaluated it. I could not have accessed the other HD. |
- Posted by poohbear2767 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 15, 13 at 23:38
I can always pull the hard drive out and slave it to another computer. I want a backup solution that gets me back up and running as quick as possible. That's why I wanted to use RAID 1. I keep all my files on external drives or burned to DVD data disks. I guess what I need is to make disk images of my hard drive. That way I won't have to re-install Windows and all my programs. Pooh Bear |
This works until there's a fire or something inside your case. Backing up to separate drives inside a single computer is better than no back up at all, but it's not as good as using a computer in a different location. |
Long ago I heard a comedian say that some teenage years are awkward because kids think they're cool, they think they've learned "Where it's at/What it is" but it's usually before they learn what to do with "it". This story has some of that. Unless you're trying to speed up frequent read/write ops of very large files, RAID 1 is useless. RAID anything is never backup anyway and given how many drives get fried by power surges, lightning or power supply problems, backing up anything to a second internal drive is unlikely to be of value for disaster recovery. It's onboard, in the same box, in the same room, and is vulnerable to have the same problem at the same time as the primary drive does. If PC access is mission critical for making money (work or business), make sure you have or have immediate access to a PC spare. If this is just a personal make-work project or you're trying to plan ahead to avoid inconvenience, I say cool down and calmly get or make recovery disks. I'd ignore the second internal drive. |
You need to burn a bootable image file to dvd or cd from easeUS options, to have its own boot from DVD/CD program and to install one of its images should your system drive get screwed up. One thing that is cool to me for reimaging or reinstalling is dropbox. Even an old image... DropBox will replace any missing docs/picts exc or bring old ones up to date,,,, to the old image install automatically as soon as you start up dropbox. Kind of like a magic backup of the library's. |
Here is a link that might be useful: dropbox, referal = free extra space for u&me

Final Thoughts
MSI has put together a really good board that not only looks good, but packs a bunch of features and a great BIOS that has offered us a really strong overclock. Of course, if you're wondering where the pictures of the motherboard and box are, you'll see them in our extensive MSI Z680A-GD80 Preview we did on the board last week.
It's been a decade since I've used an MSI board and they've come an extremely long way in that time. Outside of the bundle and the visual looks of the board, you've got some fantastic features on offer. The Military Class II aspect of the board means extremely high quality components are used while OC Genie II makes overclocking for newbies an absolute breeze.
MSI clearly understand that overclocking can be a bit of a daunting task and messing around in the BIOS continues to scare people. Knowing that all you have to do is push a simple button, though, and you can gain 100s of extra MHz is fantastic. Of course, if you want to jump in the BIOS and really start to mess around, all the options are there.
On the topic of the BIOS, the CLiCKBIOS is a little daunting at first sight for people who have used some of the more standard designed UEFI BIOS, but behind the simplistic layout are all the options you want and need. While initially it offers that user friendly and bright display, if you want to really dive into what's on offer, everything is there.
The MSI Z61A-GD80 offers everything and more users would expect out of a motherboard. It will be extremely interesting to see what the Z68MA-ED55 could offer with its Micro ATX form factor. For now, though, if you're looking for a full sized Z68 board, the MSI offering we've got here today is a fantastic one.

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

Because I grew up eating only my mother�s cooking, I find it unsatisfying to work from recipe books, prepare food devised by people I�ve never met. I believe I love restaurants so much because I ate in so few of them as a child that they seem the greatest of luxuries. When my mother and father went out for dinner, which wasn�t often, they seldom took my sister and me with them. When they did, my mother never failed to reinforce her dessert credo, which I adhere to even today: �You can�t go wrong with ice cream.�
My mother still cooks, sort of. She sits in the kitchen with the saintly women who care for her and instructs them in modified kosher cuisine. She has taught them the difference between milchedig (dairy based) and flayshedig (meat based) meals. They made gefilte fish—Jewish quenelles—for the religious holidays. The recipe, as practiced by a 94-year-old woman: Purchase one can of Rokeach gefilte fish. Remove fish and place in a pot. Add the goo from the can, sliced carrots, chopped onions, salt, pepper, sugar and a bay leaf. Boil. Cool. Serve. It isn�t her real recipe, but there is something of my mother in it, and that�s pretty good.
When I asked my father what he missed most about my mother these days, he said, predictably, �Her cooking, very much.� I asked him what he thought about when he saw her in the kitchen, and he said, �She is not able to do anything anymore. She is sitting there, watching somebody else peel the potatoes, and I can only think she must be terribly hurt inside.�
Not long ago, I drove to Somerville, New Jersey. I was born there, in the house where my mother grew up. In the �40s and �50s, it was the nicest home on the block, but now most of the original dark brown shingles are gone, replaced by shingles painted three or four different colors and some not painted at all. Quite a few aren�t even shingles, just scraps of wood hammered over holes.
Both my parents were born on New York�s Lower East Side, and they carried out their courtship in Somerville, over a table in the back of my grandmother�s store. They met in the �30s, the time of the Great Depression. Although the people of that era are now extravagantly referred to as the Greatest Generation, I think of my mother and father as members of the Quietest Generation. They and their parents had endured too much poverty, death and hunger for their lives to be colorfully anecdotal. They were children of the oppressed, of parents who lived in the meager shtetls of Europe, the Jewish ghettos famous for all manner of deficiencies, among them food. A few years back, I managed to coerce my parents into providing an outline of their lives, a few stark facts.
My father told me he grew up so poor he and his brothers got jobs in food markets in order to bring home groceries, never mind asking for cash. My mother said, �We weren�t poor,� which she certainly wasn�t in comparison to my father. �My mother had a store,� she said, �and we took things off the shelves to eat. She had a kitchen in the back, and we ate in the store.�
I asked my father, jokingly, if he married my mother for her food, and he said, �It�s no joke. After I graduated from Montclair State, I got my first job, and I was still kosher. My father, who was in wholesale dry goods, had two or three customers in Somerville who kept kosher, and he solicited them to see if he could find somewhere for me to eat. One agreed, for fifty cents a dinner. After two years, they threw me out because I didn�t pay enough attention to their daughter. Then, where did I turn to get a kosher meal? Ida�s mother.�
At the time, he was living in a boardinghouse run by a kindly Irish lady, Mrs. Flaherty, who tried unsuccessfully to get him to eat bacon for breakfast. Dinner at the Flahertys� was not an option. He and my mother worked in the same school, and he asked her if he could eat with her family for the same fifty cents. The money, my mother proudly told me, went into a little can in which Jewish families collected contributions for the poor. Every home had one of them, a pushke, a can with a slot in the top for coins. When I was a child, ours seemed sacred to me. I might once or twice have lifted a nickel from my sister�s piggy bank, driven by an addiction to Raisinets, but on my life I would not have stolen from that holy tin can.
I asked my father if he enjoyed my grandmother�s food, and he replied diplomatically, �It was very good.� Actually, she wasn�t much of a cook, but she was a lovely grandmother who had a habit of bringing me a football whenever she visited.
�I was happy to find somewhere to eat,� my father added.
�And I was happy to find a boyfriend,� said my mother.
�There was nobody in Somerville, and then he came along, a Jewish boy.� He was quite a catch, a young man who had a master�s degree, played baseball, kept kosher and said his morning prayers.
My sister and I grew up outside Philadelphia in a sprawling, low-rise, postwar apartment complex. She�s a few years older, and my first food memory is of crying uncontrollably when she came home from first grade and announced that hot dogs had been served in the cafeteria. I haven�t felt so cheated since. Her favorite food was the fried clams at Howard Johnson�s, the highway restaurant chain whose business would ultimately be usurped by McDonald�s, which prevailed, in my opinion, by staying out of the clam business. I was bewitched by the hamburgers seared on a flat metal grill at the Drexelbrook Swimming Club, which we didn�t belong to but I could look down upon from the yard behind our building. I was never fortunate enough to eat one of those burgers, but when the winds drifted upward, carrying their bouquet, my craving was nearly unbearable.

Six police officers from the Westchester County Department of Public Safety were promoted to the rank of detective recently at a ceremony presided over by County Executive Robert P. Astorino and Public Safety Commissioner George N. Longworth.
Astorino congratulated the new detectives on their accomplishment and thanked their families for the sacrifices they make in support of their loved ones in law enforcement.
"There are nights and weekends and holidays that these officers are not home with you because they are protecting the rest of us," Astorino told the assembled family members.
The ceremony was held at the Westchester County Police Academy in Valhalla.
The new detectives and their current assignments are: Louis Delango, Narcotics Unit; Kenneth Perry, Narcotics Unit; Gino Scalabrini, Information and Technology Unit; Donna Sylvester, Crime Analysis Unit; Michael Wax, Police Academy; and Jeffrey Weiss, Special Operations Division.
Astorino said the newly promoted detectives had a broad range of patrol experience and other skills. Several have served as undercover officers in the Narcotics Unit while others have served as Police Academy instructors. Longworth also noted that the detectives have varied and accomplished educational backgrounds as well, including a law degree and a master's degree in Computer Science and Information Systems.
"Westchester is fortunate indeed to have such talented people in the ranks of our county police and now in the ranks of our detectives," the county executive said.

With Top Secret!, a spoof that unnaturally conjoined WWII-era spy flicks and hip-swiveling Elvis films, it's clear that the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team had temporarily run out of laughing gas after the high of 1980's ''Airplane!'' and the six inspired episodes of 1982's ''Police Squad!'' The result is a monkeyshine that lumbers when it should swing.
On the commentary, the ZAZ boys admit that referencing ''obscure 1940s movies nobody's seen'' might not have been wise, and indeed, after their fleet-footed send-up of the air-disaster genre, ''Secret'' feels like a very slo-mo snicker. The storyboards and outtakes don't uncover any hidden hilarity, though Val Kilmer is uncharacteristically genial in his first major role (he does his own singing to boot) and a bit with a cow does capture some of the old ZAZ pizzazz.

Great idea! I like working with wallpaper and have several wallpaper sample books. You can usually get wallpaper sample books for free at places like home improvement stores, or stores that deal with home decorating. My local neighborhood home improvement store occasionally throws all of the their outdated wallpaper sample books into wheelbarrows and they are yours for the taking. |
Love that idea--I'm going to use it!! Thanks for sharing!! |

You are just so clever Kudzu, I've always thought those printed ones you see were cute, but would never have thought to use wallpaper instead. This would look great for displaying items at a craft show or even for sorting craft supplies at home. Luvs |
How clevar submit it to a craft magazine I'm going to tell my friend who makes her envelopes from old wallpaper books she'll love it |

Vickroy: Chicago Heights hair stylist feeds the hungry on Christmas

If you go ...
What: Caring and Sharing Christmas Day Celebration. Free holiday dinner for south suburban homeless and working poor
When: noon to 3 p.m. Christmas Day
Where: Greater Faith Church, 1417 Emerald Ave., Chicago Heights; (708) 248-5226; http://www.greaterfaithbaptistchurch.org/

Updated: January 25, 2014 6:08AM
"When you lend to the poor,
you lend to God."
It's that sentiment that drives Selena Maynie to stay up all night Christmas Eve, cooking meals that she will give away on Christmas Day.
Maynie, who lives in Crete and owns Cafe O'Hair in Chicago Heights, has been providing hot meals to the homeless and working poor on Thanksgiving and Christmas for the past seven years.
"Years ago, I put it in my heart to feed the homeless and so that's what I do," Maynie said. "I would like to do it all year long. I would feed people out of my salon if I could."
Tonight, after putting in 12 to 14 hours at her shop, making sure every customer is beautified for the holiday, Maynie will head home to start roasting turkeys, cooking hams and mixing macaroni and cheese.
"I give people the food I would want to eat," she said. "I treat the poor the way I would want to be treated."
Maynie pays for the meals out of her pocket. She enlists the help of her husband, Rod Polk, and their three kids, Gary, Angelik and Marrell, in cooking, packaging and delivering the food. Several friends contribute side dishes.
"There's no Santa at our house," she said. "We feed the poor, and then we come home and prepare our dinner."
In addition to giving out food, Maynie, 41, takes time to get to know as many of the hundreds who annually partake of her labors. "They're people; they have stories. And they can tell if you're there for them or for yourself," she said.
Maynie's story — or at least the current chapter — began 14 years ago when she was diagnosed with coreocarcinoma, a rare form of uterine cancer.
She'd just given birth to a stillborn son and knew something else was wrong. Even though her doctor dismissed her postpartum complaints as depression, Maynie pressed and, sure enough, cancer was diagnosed.
"I had a full hysterectomy at 25," she said.
She also endured daily chemotherapy treatments for eight months.
"When I finished, I put it in my heart to start helping others," she said.
Inspired by the outreach work of her pastor, the Rev. Reginald O'Dell, she decided to take to the streets, handing out hot Christmas dinners at 22nd and State streets in Chicago to anyone who needed one.
"I fed 158 men in 15 minutes that first time," she said.
O'Dell, associate pastor at St. John's Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago's Roseland community, has worked beside the Rev. Michael Pfleger and the Rev. George Clements on outreach projects that have included feeding the hungry.
"I told Selena that feeding the poor was something the Lord had led me to do," he said.
He also told her that sometimes you have to be the gift to others and not just to yourself.
Maynie, who was overcome with gratitude over her recovery, decided to follow in his footsteps.
For a few years, she handed out meals along State and Canal streets in Chicago from the back of her 1999 Chrysler LHS. But then, realizing the growing number of homeless and working poor in and around the community where she works, she decided to bring the program closer to home.
O'Dell said it's hard to know exactly how many people are in need in the south suburbs, given that so many are employed at low wages. But the desperation is growing, he said.
"I believe we're looking at 3,000 homeless people just in this area alone," he said. "Plus, thousands more who are working poor."
In a country that's among the richest in the world, he said, "this is unacceptable."
Three years ago, Maynie linked up with the Rev. Walter Mosby of Greater Faith Church in Chicago Heights. Mosby, who feeds the homeless and poor every Monday at the church, offered Maynie space to set up shop on Thanksgiving. This will be their first time collaborating on Christmas. Dinner will be served from noon to 3 p.m.
Maynie still plans to do all the cooking in her family's kitchen in Crete, but now the recipients will have a place to sit down and enjoy the meal.
"Now it's a celebration," she said.
This year, Maynie is also getting help from Chicago Heights Ald. Wanda Rodgers, who is getting donations of toys, caps, scarves and toiletries, as well as food, from local businesses.
Rodgers said that in addition to feeding the homeless, Maynie will be lifting the spirits of those people who have jobs but still can't swing Christmas.
"It's important for businesses to give back to the communities that support them," Maynie said.
The Bowen High School graduate once dreamed of becoming a nurse, but things didn't work out that way, she said. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago was rough, but she managed to get herself into college, taking classes at both Olive Harvey and South Suburban community colleges.
"But I was already married with two kids," she said. "I needed to work, to set a good example, so I switched to beauty school."
Today, business is booming. On a recent Thursday morning, clients sat in a holding pattern waiting for Maynie's attention.
"I've been coming here for 10 years," Shawana Heidelberg, of Park Forest, said. "Selena's amazing and consistent. She personalizes everything. Plus, she gives back. She's always helping someone."
Maynie's clients ranged in age this day from Adia Dew, a 15-year-old high school student from Matteson, to 75-year-old Chris Barker, of Homewood, who stopped in even though she recently twisted her ankle.
"I think she's wonderful," stylist Tracy Taylor said.
"She's very good," agreed Dorothy Gilbert, of Park Forest.
"I am good," Maynie said, flashing a smile. "And that's because I love what I do. That's the difference, that's the secret."
She's also good at helping the less fortunate.
One day, she said, "I will feed a thousand people, and not just on Christmas. This is not about food. It's about looking at a person who needs something and being able to give it to them."
And if you don't think the people who line up for a plate are truly hungry, consider this, she said: "One year a man filled his plate and while he was walking toward a table, he dropped it. Do you know, he just bent down, picked it all up off the floor and ate it anyway?"

Ty and I have been sharing our vacation home, Retreat in the Sky, with guests for over fifteen years. It has been fun, sometimes very challenging...but most of all...a rewarding experience. Our goal is... and has always been ....to provide a wonderful vacation experience for our guests..
Sandy Nelson purchased this cottage in 1998
We fell in love with Bryson City the first time we visited. It is quaint, friendly and surrounded by beautiful mountains. We found the perfect spot to build our second home. It's close to the top of Bear Cove Mountain in the Smokies. Our view is outstanding. Retreat in the Sky has a privacy that is hard to describe. Our first home is three hours away and fifteen years later, with our car packed with all our stuff, heading for Bryson City and our Retreat in the Sky, we're still excited.... after all these years, we still can't wait to get there.
Sitting on the swing on our deck...enjoying the beautiful view...is the ultimate in relaxation. Retreat in the Sky can only be reached by driving up the private road and then you drive up some more on our paved driveway. We are not on the road so no one can see us or drive by us. So you see, we also have the ultimate in privacy. We not only have a beautiful deck filled with flowers and a wonderfully landscaped setting, but a large screened porch complete with hot tub and a great place to hang out. We're only five minutes from Ingles Supermarket, the quaint town of Bryson City and only ten minutes from just about everywhere else.
Retreat in the Sky is a feast for the senses! The interior of the home is filled with artistically arranged collectibles and plants that provide a treat for the eyes in any direction. The flower-laden deck is wonderful alone but combined with the amazing view of the mountains takes your breathe away. The candles and comforts provide a romantic ambiance and the overall effect of a week here was very soul-soothing. All this and the amazing variety of hikes, views, activities and waterfalls (our favorite) made for a fabulous vacation---we loved it!
The most exciting new activity has to be ziplining....our guests just rave about how much fun it is...take a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway... it is unforgettable...pack a picnic lunch (picnic pack for two at Retreat for guests use) and mountain gaze, and you must go to Highlands and Cashiers (great shopping and restaurants) and visit all of the waterfalls in the area, the Biltmore Estate in Asheville is only one hour away...you should plan to spend the entire day as there is so much to see, go for a hike at the Joyce Kilmer forest or Deep Creek, visit Dollywood and stop at all the outlets on the way, Win some $$ to take home at Harrahs Casino in Cherokee and enjoy a great dinner there as well. You will NEVER run out of things to do. Or, never leave, sit on the deck at Retreat in the Sky and enjoy the privacy, the wonderful view and each other!

Halal hot dog eating contest in Dearborn
DEARBORN,MI–In what be the first of its kind, a halal hot dog eating contest is being held in Dearborn city of Michigan. The contest is being sponsored by Leo's Coney Island in Dearborn and is part of the 15th Annual Dearborn Arab International Festival. According to a press release, cash prizes will be awarded to those who eat the most hot dogs.
The festival is being held from June 18-20th and is organized by the American Arab Chamber of Commerce.
"It is the most vibrant time of the year," said American Arab Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Fay Beydoun. "Every year more and more people of all races and cultures are joining us in celebrating our rich heritage. It also adds an economic boost to the local economy."
Community activist Shirley Qahhar passes away
CLEVELAND,OH–Longtime community activist Shirley Qahhar passed away this week in Celevaland. She was the wife of Imam Abdul Qahhar, the local chiarman of the New Black Panther Party. According to local leaders she played a major role in the Coalition for A Better Life, The Task Force for Community Mobilization and Peace in the Hood, as well as many local, state and national organizations.
According to Peace in the Hood, CEO, Amir Khalid Samad, "Sister Shirley Qahhar played a major role in helping us to organize the first National African Holocaust (MAAFA) and Reparations Conference in America, if not the world. Her activism and organizational abilities, as well as her loyalty to her husband, a former political prisoner during the Louisville 7 era is a testimony to her consistency and love for liberation for our people and humanity. She will be greatly missed."
CT Muslims pray for end to Gulf disaster
HARTFORD,CT–Muslims in Connecticut last week prayed for an end to the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and for the environment.
Imams also focused their sermons at Friday prayers on seeking a quick end to the calamity.
The prayers are part of a nationwide effort led by the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations. Muslims also are being encouraged to volunteer to help relief efforts on the Gulf Coast. There are more than 2,000 mosques in the country.
Muslim, Jewish doctors hold health fair
JAMAICA,NY–Relations might be tense in the Middle East, but that hasn't stopped Jewish and Muslim doctors in New York to come together for a common cause. They held a joint health fair at the Jamaica Muslim Center last Sunday. The services included health screenings and consultations, YourNabe.com news portal reported.
Imam Shamsi Ali coordinated the event along with Rabbi Shlomo Nisanov of Kehilath Sephardim Bukharian Jewish Center of Kew Gardens Hills.
"I'm always happy to see that we can work together," Nisanov said. "At the end of the day, we are more the same than we are different."
Walter Ruby, the Muslim-Jewish relations program officer for The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, which co-sponsored the event, said leaders of the Bukharian Jewish community visited the Jamaica Muslim Center and decided to put on the health fair after they were warmly received at the mosque.
"It's very good for us to build these ties," Ruby said, noting the fair helped out those who did not have health insurance.
"If Jews and Muslims together can make a little dent in that, it's very powerful," he said.
Career day at Islamic school in Colonie
COLONIE, NY–A career day was held at An Nur Islamic School on Saturday. Among the dozen professionals who spoke at the event were an Imam, a teacher, a dental hygienist, an army representative and a doctor.
The event was organized by the school PTO. An Nur Islamic School is a full-time pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade school, recognized by the state and in compliance with state policies governing education. An Nur's curriculum encompasses the required state standards as well as Quranic, Arabic and Islamic studies.
Peaceful Islam: Book by UH sociologist chronicles Gülen Movement of Turkey
Aims to instruct, dispel myths of Muslims and Islam for a Western audience
The damage wrought upon Muslims following the terror attacks of 9-11 is incalculable. Many still suffer, linked by outsiders who promote a skewed association to those who claim to represent Islam.
University of Houston sociologist Helen Rose Ebaugh has written a book that examines an Islamic movement that is rooted in education, interfaith exchange and peace. "The Gülen Movement: A Sociological Analysis of a Civic Movement Rooted in Moderate Islam" is the result of two years of research.
"They are an example of Islam that we do not hear about in the media," said Ebaugh, who teaches a course on world religions.
Fethullah Gülen is a Turkish imam whose works helped start a civic movement in the 1960s to educate young people and inspire Turkish people to invest in that endeavor. Ebaugh spent two years conducting interviews with Turkish businesspeople, journalists and average people whose support of Gülen's ideas is woven into their personal and professional values. Ebaugh says she was careful to explain to her hosts and interviewees that she would report on whatever she found.
"What I present is grounded in a sociological perspective that I hope will connect with a Western audience," she said. "I am a social scientist; I'm not a member of the movement. You're looking at an objective outsider."
The book contains chapters on Islam throughout Turkish history, the Turkish-Islamic culture of giving, the life of Fethullah Gülen and the financing of his civic movement.
"He called on deeply entrenched Turkish values of zakat and hospitality," Ebaugh said. "It's a Turkish thing and very much an Islamic thing."
Ebaugh's research also conveys stories from the many people who benefited from Gülen-inspired schools. She said many explained that without the schools or dormitories in which to live, they would not have been able to pursue an education. She said for some, especially in southeastern Turkey, their only other alternatives were those provided by radical religious and ethnic groups.
Ebaugh says that participants in the Gülen movement are now in more than 100 countries, including the United States and the city of Houston.
"This is not an isolationist movement. People want to integrate into the places where they live," she said. "They hold workshops to share information about their culture and faith. They take people to Turkey and they promote interfaith dialogue. Here are Muslims promoting peace," she said.

This what I learned here.
2005 - no TPMS - lucky son of guns!
2006 - 2008 TPMS on all 5 wheels
2009 - TPMS on 4 wheels none on spare
The sensors are different on the oem alloys & steelies.
The sensors have ids on them
On the 2006, there is a disable mod splicing a fuse into wiring behing the glove compartment. I haven't done it to mine even though I bought the stuff (less than $5) deciding not to mess with the system.
Not sure the mod works for 2007+ but there has been documented macgyvery done by some folks as a work around.
My spare threw a light recently which I lowered, added air, flipped around so future checks would be easier to deal with. It made me wonder if the dealer does this when brought in for service? Also I contemplated if it was good for the tire to have the sensor facing down but figured the other sensors are exposed it would be ok.
Thats what I've learned here.

Wynwood's Demolition Wave: Homes Razed to Make Way for Development
If you frequent Wynwood, you've noticed the changing landscape: new murals, new construction, new businesses, and fresh demolitions in the small pockets of residential areas amid the warehouses. I've witnessed six houses on 27th Street between North Miami and NW Second avenues come down in the past couple of months. The teardowns are quick. From the time the excavators roll in to the time the land is leveled is anywhere from two to seven days, depending upon the size of the property. Kerry McLaney One of several recently razed plots of land in Wynwood.
So why the recent rapid developments in the "Café District"?
I sat down with Wynwood property developers Tony Cho of Metro 1 Properties and David Lombardi of Lombardi Properties to learn about what's really happening in the hood.
Cho said he prides himself on contributing to the green living movement; his office is covered wall-to-wall with eco-friendly tips. He wants to inspire more people to live and/or work in Wynwood, reducing the ecological costs of commuting. His goal is to increase the population so prime independent retailers and restaurants will invest in the future of this community. Newly empty plots of land dot the Wynwood landscape.
Cho and Lombardi said they have been battling the City of Miami, the Zoning Department, and the Parking Department to create a viable community where locals and tourists are guaranteed a safe experience. Lombardi pointed out that the majority of Wynwood is classified as D-1, meaning only 36 units per acre and three parking spaces are required for every 1,000 square feet of commercial space such as retail or office. It's an ideal classification for warehouse and industrial districts, but not so much for rapidly developing retail and restaurant centers.
However, the areas where most of these razed houses are located are zoned as T5-L, where 65 units are allowed per acre. That regulation lends the area to midrise buildings with retail, restaurant, and live/work options -- exactly the direction in which Cho and Lombardi hope to take the neighborhood.

Who's Linus? 4 Fake Linus Torvalds' on Twitter
In the run up to LinuxCon (September 21.to 23), the Linux Foundation has today unleashed four fake Linus' onto Twitter and Identi.ca.
A dedicated website explains the action in detail. A music video shows four masked imposters dancing to rap music. The only clue: "...we've invited four well-known industry and community leaders to guest tweet as if they were the real Linus Torvalds..." says the Foundation.
News of the Linus imitators will be spread over Linux Foundation accounts via Twitter and Identi.ca. In the final two weeks before the conference in Portland, Oregon, the community will be asked to vote for their favorite fake Linus. The most popular pretender will receive a cocktail shaker in the shape of a silver penguin as prize. The identity of the four will be revealed and the prize awarded on the first day of the conference.
The conundrum will be solved directly after a high quality discussion with Linus Torvalds and his kernel developer colleagues on the first day of the conference.
The conference can also be followed from the comfort of an office chair: Linux Magazine Online will broadcast live per internet streaming, the Torvalds roundtable discussion gratis at 2:00 pm on Sept. 21. To view three days of the conference will cost $99, while the keynotes will be streamed for free.

Let's face it – posthumous albums usually disappoint. In the case of J. Dilla, he's been pretty fortunate to have his legacy live on in a positive manner with solid releases like The Shining and Ruff Draft, the latter of which was completed before his passing. There hasn't been a terrible amount of remixing or reusing of Dilla's tracks like there has in the cases of 2Pac and Biggie, which usually resulted in watered down or questionable material.
Rebirth of Detroit is the latest release from the late great James Yancey – and one of the few to be entirely recorded without his earth-bound oversight. The aim of this album was to unite a crew of Detroit emcees, celebrating the legacy of Dilla over a series of unused beats from his seemingly endless archives. Unfortunately, the end result is a disjointed mess of a compilation.
Dilla has had several stages in his career, each one resulting in a different style of production. There's the early Jay Dee era, the Ummah years, the Slum Village sound, the Beat Generation stage, the Donuts instrumental style; he always seemed to reinvent his sound with each release. Unfortunately, Rebirth of Detroit takes from several different junctures in his career, giving the album an uneven, random sound. For instance, you might hear the earlier smoothed out sound on "Detroit Madness" – a natural sounding collabo with Phat Kat – then switching to Ruff Draft mode on the harder edged "City Of Boom" (feat. Loe Louis & Beej) or "Feel This Shit" (feat. Ketchphraze). Surely you've heard of those guys….
And that's part of the larger issue. Never mind that after two hardcore rap cuts, it then takes a drastic turn to the R&B flavored "Let's Pray Together" (feat. Amp Fiddler) or the flute-solo instrumental cut "Requiem With Allan Barnes". More concerning is the list of collaborators tasked with the re-birthing of Detroit – many of which we've never heard of, some of which may have never even met Dilla. After being blessed with a record like The Shining, which featured names like Common, Black Thought, Busta Rhymes, Pharoahe Monch, this album gives us Soul Man, Tone Plummer, Corey Sparks, and Mr. Wrong. No offense to those guys, but where's T3? Where's Royce Da 5'9? Shit, they probably could have gotten Eminem. Old favorites like Illa J and Frank Nitt fit in naturally on "Do It For Dilla Dawg", as do newer picks like Chuck Inglish and Boldy James on "Detroit Game", but still, if these are the biggest names the album has to offer….
We had to expect that sub-par releases might start to come down the pipeline without J here to oversee them. Still, we have hope that the yet-to-be-released, Egon-exec. produced Pay Jay LP will course correct Dilla's life-after-death legacy. If anything, this should be a lesson on how not to commemorate the legend of Jay Dee.
I said this a few months back when I heard the interview with this Jonathan Taylor fellow, I didn't feel his vibe. I'll be honest I haven't picked up this project because I didn't intend to support it. I knew something would be missing and I keep reading reviews similar to this one that haven't given me a reason to do otheriwse. I'm not with the idea of having people who never worked with Dilla be on or do anything that has to do with his music. Hopefully Mrs. Yancey learns from this experience because this seems to be a consensus train of thought among folks in the Hip-Hop community. Smh… Peace.
I listened to this and was extremely disappointed. Agreed with all points made in the review. The only difference is I am not so liberal with my ratings so an LP like this which I will never listen to a single song from ever again gets only @ maybe @@.
