While I don't mean to just pick on the evangelical blogs, I cannot help myself on this one. So, please indulge me. In another post over at Pen and Parchment, another, umm, winning post leads off with this salvo:
Have you noticed it? Do you feel small? Do you feel inadequate to have opinions anymore? Do you feel a heavy hand upon your head? Do you feel demeaned, disenfranchised, demoted?
That is what it is beginning to feel like to be an Evangelical.
The post proceeds to then decry the "new elitism that is sweeping Christianity" in the form of all things characterized by words such as "emergent, post-colonialism, post-conservative, post-modern, post-fundamental, post-Christian, and the like."
Now, I'm all for lambasting the emerging church. Hell, one of the most central things about being a hip, cool, cutting-edge Protestant Christian these days entails making fun of the emergent church. Today its far, far cooler to point out the goofiness of the whole emergent thing that to actually be part of it. But I digress. The author of the post in question, however, clearly isn't trying to be cool. Rather he has a persecution complex.
Indeed, it seems that, in fact, being an evangelical is the hardest, most courageous thing possible in a country where the, ahem, President is a rabid evangelical (among being rabid about other things), and where there has never in history been a president who did not claim the label of "born-again Christian" (yeah, even Kennedy). But, no seriously, it's hard to be an evangelical. You have to endure the persecution of not having your religion publicly taught by the government, of trying to figure out where to gas up your SUV, and oh, there's the agony of biting one's nails over the constant fear that maybe, just maybe, Hilary Clinton will get the nomination. Being an evangelical is hard. Seriously. It is. Yeah.
In contrast to the rather pedantic pontifications of these sorts of blogs, I really don't see how it takes any courage whatsoever to be an evangelical in the United States today. You can be an evangelical and style yourself as whatever kind of person you want, lead whatever kind of life you want, spend money however you want, vote for whomever you want, and well, pretty much do anything however you want. One can legitimately claim to be an evangelical and create themselves in any way they wish. Evangelicalism is, by and large, a specter, not a substance; it is an echo, not an identity. Its infinitely plastic nature allows those who would claim that label to pretty much say and be whatever they want and feel totally justified in their evangelicalness. And yet it is touted as some noble vocation, some persecuted minority who is under some sort of massive repression. Maybe I'm beating my head against a wall here, but I still have to pause and wonder sometimes how a religious movement that has influence at all the highest levels of government, whose very ethos defines the whole American project can somehow come to see themselves as a persecuted minority.
What I think is most interesting is the way in which I think evangelicals actually know that this whole persecution complex they have is nothing more than a construct. Deep down I think they know that thier identity's are self-constructions, that they are more American than Christian, and that they aren't satisfied with the shallowness that attends so much of evangelical life. And this sort of deep-seated insecurity produces the kind of reflexive combativeness that is seen in the post quoted above. Suddenly it becomes absolutely necessary to slap down anything that might be a threat to the fragilely constructed edifice of evangelical identity. Even something as fragmentary, faddish, and, well, evangelical as the emergent church!

The June 22 program certainly zipped along, moving from one example of mayhem to another. Shots of two homes under construction in Elbert County that had been decimated by a modest tornado were followed by a report about a bolt of lighting killing a motorcyclist the previous day; a peek inside a busted Westminster chop shop; an item concerning a suspected "serial robber" who allegedly held up a liquor store with a screwdriver; and an update on the Mato Vega fire. Then, and only then, did anchors Anne Trujillo and Lane Lyon get around to telling viewers about a call for a special session on immigration from Democratic legislators (something that's never happened before in Colorado history) and Marc Holtzman's decision to drop out of the race for governor after the state Supreme Court refused to order that his name be placed on the ballot. These last two offerings were arguably the day's most important, since they dealt with the biggest issues and were likely to affect more people in the long run. So why were they pushed so far down Channel 7's roster? Apparently because they didn't involve burning, bleeding or blowing up.
This addiction to bedlam is hardly exclusive to Channel 7. Indeed, an analysis of recent newscasts conducted by yours truly suggests that while Denver broadcasters aren't quite as gore-happy as those in some other major markets, the difference is one of degree. Far too often, local stations give more prominent coverage to subjects based on their exploitability rather than their legitimate news value. The vast majority of stories aired are of the ambulance-chasing variety, with precious few examples of legitimate investigative reporting. As a result, typical news segments are gratuitous and superficial, leaving viewers less informed than they should be.
These conclusions were reached after eyeballing the first ten minutes of each late newscast aired by channels 2, 4, 7, 9 and 31 from June 19 to 23, under the hypothesis that those opening segments would reveal as much about the stations as the front pages of Denver's dailies do about the newspapers as a whole ("Up Front," May 25). As the summaries below demonstrate, the stations have some individual characteristics, but they share a great deal -- including a common disdain for Holtzman, who on June 22 wound up in the fifth slot on Channel 4, the tenth on Channel 2, the eleventh on Channel 31 and the twelfth on Channel 9. Sorry, Marc. You lose again.
Channel 2: Anchors Asha Blake and Ernie Bjorkman are an upbeat team, and that's fortunate, since their newscasts were loaded with death and destruction. Take the June 21 episode, when each of the first eight segments dealt with fires or crimes. And when these elements were lacking, the station sometimes ginned them up anyway. Most outlets used humor when reporting about filmmakers whose action scene was broken up by cops, but Channel 2 ran it second on its June 19 program with a banner reading "Controversial Video." In truth, the only thing controversial about the account was how much airtime it wasted.
Channel 4: Unlike its competitors, which tend to only air enterprise pieces during ratings months like May, Channel 4 spotlighted some self-generated material this week -- notably, a pair of Brian Maass exposés and a package that caught some Denver parks violating watering restrictions. Nothing groundbreaking, but the effort was appreciated. Additionally, Channel 4 squeezed a significant amount of national news between coverage of two grabby hit-and-run cases every station found irresistible (no wonder, since the victims were a child and a man in a wheelchair), and kicked off the June 23 newscast with a smoking-ban story whose central puffers didn't die horrible deaths. Although they probably will someday.
Channel 7: Quick-hitters were the rule at Channel 7, and the more catastrophic, the better. Take the June 21 show, which screened non sequiturs about a roof collapse in North Carolina and a jet-fuel fire in Palm Springs for no reason other than their stop-and-stare appeal. On a nightly basis, the station blitzed through more stories than its competitors during the same span, generating sound and fury that frequently signified nothing. As a bonus, a June 23 graphic identified late producer Aaron Spelling as "Aaron Spellie." Apparently, folks there have trouble spelling "Spelling."
Channel 9: Every so often, Channel 9 went beyond the obvious. For instance, the June 23 show began with a report about the possible sale of Elitch's -- a bloodshed-free story that nevertheless would be of interest to most Denverites. But even though the presence of pros such as Adele Arakawa was reassuring, the newscasts maintained an unnecessarily high body count from day to day. Of the first twelve stories aired on June 22, only the last two were free of crime, war, accidental death or natural disaster. What an oversight.
Channel 31: The initial ten minutes of Channel 31's June 20 broadcast was suffused with enough turmoil to make Baghdad seem like paradise by comparison. Featured subjects? A deadly apartment fire. Two wildfires. A memorial for a murdered couple. Two people shot. A child kidnapped. A stabbing death. A teen shot in the neck. Two trucks stolen. A sniper scare. Charges in a weekend crash. An injured man identified. A drowned man located. A murderer sentenced. A man accused of pushing his granddaughter too close to an elk herd. A teen guilty of branding other kids with a coat hanger. And, for good measure, a group of parents fighting to keep North High School open and a weather-report preview.

Vint Cerf on Why Programmers Don't Join the ACM
ACM are inveterate spammers, that's why (213 comments)
The main reason not to join ACM is that they spam the hell out of their members (and even prospective members and former members). Here are just some examples of recent complaints from computing professionals:
- ACM spam (Torbjorn Granlund)
- ACM membership spam just keeps coming (David Fries)
- The ACM may be violating the CAN-SPAM Act (Wesley Tansey)
I have never been a member of ACM myself, but my e-mail addresses are (or were, the last time I checked) regularly bombarded by their solicitations. Now everything from them just goes straight to the bit bucket.

The best place to get Laminate Flooring in Indianapolis is here at Build Direct with quality pricing and great customer service.
If you ask me what would be the best solution for a flooring product in a home I would say laminate flooring. Laminate Floors is a very high tech material that is scratch resistant and fade resistant. It can be installed on concrete and on peer and beam floor or mobile home. The floor is scratch resistant towards pets like dogs and cats and high traffic. Dogs and cats have accidents and often urinate on floors. The good news is that its not the end of the world since these types of floors are designed to resist spills of that nature. Because of today's new technology, laminate flooring has been revolutionized and converted into real looking hardwood floors. Some may even look better than real hardwood floors and that is why laminates are the leading source of flooring in America today. The best type of Laminates have been made to the thickness of approximately 15 millimeters and 12 millimeters. This feature gives an advantage in mobile homes and peer and beam homes. The super thick product with the padding will add additional wear layer plus extra insulation. There are different pad grades available from good, better and best. Often getting the best padding will ad extra sound beerier properties and walking on the surface feels softer and easy on the knees. Extra thick padding will help in the winter keeping the floor warmer. The padding in the summers it will keep the floor cooler. So the answer is simple: laminate flooring is the best and the most economical type of floor that there is. The best place to buy laminate flooring in Indianapolis is thru Build Direct. They have thousands of square foot of product in stock and are readily available. Here is a quality list of companies in Indianapolis, IN that can do a laminate floor installation. Choosing the right contractor can be a bit tricky so we have pre-screened a few for you so you don't have to. Before you purchase floors, we recommend that you get a free in home estimate. Taking measurements from a qualified installer will insure that you do not buy to much or to little. Not ordering the correct amount of materials can result in headaches.

Hillary: Just think — if Santa knew about headlights, Rudolph would have remained a pariah his whole life!
And sure, I'm happy to change the subject to good ol' Charlie Brown — or should I say poor, miserable Charlie Brown, who has to be the most melancholy Christmas icon of all time. From the first mournful bars of "Christmas Time Is Here," I was totally sold on this special, which forgoes simple linear storytelling for something more episodic and dreamy. Between the show's structure and its perennially downtrodden lead, I actually thought Charlie Brown felt more like an animated, kid-friendlier episode of Louie than anything else. (Clearly, I'm not the only person to have made this connection.)
Actually, wait: I don't know if I really think Charlie Brown is kid-friendly. Though its characters are, nominally, children, they mostly speak and act like adults, and the special's themes — the commercialization of Christmas; Charlie Brown's low-grade depression, which sounds a whole lot like seasonal affective disorder — are about a hundred times more grown-up than Yukon Cornelius. As I watched Lucy wish for a stocking stuffed with real estate deeds and Charlie moan, "I know nobody likes me. Why do we have to have a holiday season to emphasize it?" I couldn't help wondering whether an actual child would be as enchanted by this special as I was. The very reason I liked Charlie Brown was because it was so weirdly sad and mature; I'm pretty sure that if I had watched it when I was a Ren and Stimpy-obsessed elementary schooler, its nuances would have been completely lost on me.
So tell me, Darren — as a kid, did you like Charlie Brown? And do you think it's actually meant for anyone young enough not to know what a "big eastern syndicate" might be?
Darren: I loved A Charlie Brown Christmas growing up — but I'm pretty sure the vast majority of it went sky-high over my head. In my memory, the special really stuck with me because it conjured a vivid world that felt like my own childhood. Charles M. Schulz's semi-abstract small town felt about two doors down from my own slightly-less-abstract suburban town. The characters' concerns about Christmas were my own concerns: presents, letters to Santa, the annual Christmas play, tree-shopping. Also, I dance exactly like Linus, present-tense intended.
Viewed as an adult, though, I think you have the right take: There's something appealingly modern and Louie-esque about Charlie Brown as a character, the only kid who feels depressed during what's supposed to be the happiest time of the year. Since basically every adult I know feels stressed out during the holidays — family, ugh, shopping, ugh, unrealistic societal expectations, aaugh!!! — Charlie Brown's search for the "true meaning of Christmas" is an emotional journey we can all take.
But I'd be intrigued to know, Hillary: Did the ultimate message of Charlie Brown resonate with you? Do you even think there is a message? Is it weird that the kids magically turn the runty little tree into a beautiful Christmas tree, which seems to destroy the intrinsic thesis that runty little trees need love specifically because they're not beautiful? And is it difficult to figure out how Charlie Brown could come off as such an anti-consumerist hippie pinko just one year after he exhorted the benefits of the 1964 Ford Falcon?
Hillary: You know, I was moved by Charlie Brown's ultimate message. Even though I'm Jewish, Linus's simple reading of that passage from the Gospel of Luke touched me — as I'm sure it's touched plenty of Christians who deplore the materialism and secularization of most modern Christmas entertainments. That said, it also sort of came out of left field — Charles Schulz was religious? Is Charlie Brown really supposed to be a modern-day Job?! Discuss.
It's pretty bold, though, for the special to explicitly state that the "true meaning of Christmas" is, you know, the birth of Christ — unlike basically every other mainstream Xmas special ever made. In a weird way, I really appreciated Linus's straightforwardness. Though I never felt left out as a kid while the vast majority of Americans celebrated Christmas, I always did resent the TV shows and movies that asserted the holiday was some sort of universal celebration with no real religious trappings. (To wit, here's Uncle Jesse in Full House's "Very First Christmas Show": "Christmas isn't about presents or Santa Claus or cows. It's about a feeling. It's about people. It's about us forgetting about our problems and reaching out to help other people." Dude, it's called Christmas, not Peoplemas.)
So thumbs up on that. The anti-commercialism stuff, though, rang a little more falsely; I had never seen that car commercial before, but I have spotted plenty of shirts and mugs and Pez dispensers decked out with Peanuts characters. Then again, I guess most of that merchandise features Snoopy — the brand's most obviously commercial character — rather than commie pinko Charlie Brown.
Oh, and one more thing: I hereby retract my harsh words about Vince Guaraldi and his jazzy soundtrack, which is in no way bland enough for a dentist's office. (Unless that dentist is a grown-up Schroeder, who gave up his dreams of classical music stardom long ago.) The way the music underscored the entire special without pause was really interesting, and I appreciated finally hearing "Linus and Lucy" in context. Does it please you to see me eat a piece of humble pie?
Darren: There's a whole sub-conversation to be had about the history of Peanuts, and how the comic strip became less sharp, less cynical, and more obviously kid-friendly over the years — basically, as it became less about Charlie Brown and more about Snoopy. (By comparison, imagine if Seinfeld gradually morphed into a show about Kramer's crazy schemes. Not that there's anything wrong with that.) That evolution is reflected in the Charlie Brown TV specials, which got way goofier as they went along. (Five words: It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown.)
So, as much as it pleases me to see you admit you were wrong, DEAD WRONG about the great Vince Guaraldi, I'm actually more happy to see that A Charlie Brown Christmas is exactly as pure, unadorned, and weird as I remember it. Even the Bible quote feels relatively universalist in context. The key line which Linus ends on is "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and goodwill to men." Speaking as a lapsed Catholic, I agree with the second half of that sentence — so who cares if I have doubts about the first half?
That said, I think you're hitting on one of the most interesting things about the whole Christmas Special subgenre: They all have to have a message, but that message also has to be broadly appealing, and the end result is that the message becomes a vaguely defined ode to Being Excellent to Each Other. This might be why A Charlie Brown Christmas resonates so much. It's basically a series of episodes of Charlie Brown having frustrated conversations, followed by a speech by Linus, followed by a very brief happy moment in Charlie Brown's life when people don't completely hate him, followed by singing. (If you followed the 3eanuts rule and cut it off a minute early, it would be a sad French farce.)
In context, the message seems to be: "Christmas is a time when life becomes very annoying, and then more annoying, and then briefly magical. So enjoy that last bit." Perhaps unsurprisingly, the CBS top brass apparently didn't think very much about the special when they first got a look at it, for all the reasons we like it: Too slow, too weird, too much jazz, etc. So chalk this one up as another win for the misfits!
But that brings us to the biggest misfit of them all, Hillary. After a pair of specials about characters who literally and figuratively save Christmas, what did you think of the Grinch's attempt to steal the holiday away from those smug Whos down in Whoville?

I really like that first seedling. Dena Marie's Sister is a beautiful color and looks like it must be a great bloomer. Val |
I think the first seedling is very pretty. It kind of reminds me of LEE PICKLES. Is Butterfly Illusion the second seedling? Could Gossard's friend be Shirley Farmer? Your Dena Marie's Sister looks great. Mine got hit hard by the thrips and never recovered. I need to treat it earlier next year. Debra |

Oh I do like Dena Marie's Sister. Fabulous, fabulous color! |
Debra-the first seedling is sometimes darker on the eye and edge and a much larger bloom than Lee Pickles, it just doesn't have a very high bud count. Yes the second seedling I just call Butterfly Illusion to give it a 'garden name' and it could be Shirley Farmer-I've had it for about 5-6 years so it would have to be someone who died before that because he told me she had died before it was registered. I just don't remember a name. |
Your right you do have some pretties I like all of them. Linda |

In this paper, experimental data available in the literature are used to test the Peng-Robinson (PR) equation of state for representing VLE of concentrated polymer solutions in conventional solvents. The most important issues of extending cubic EoS to polymers are the description of the pure component EoS parameters, a and b, for polymers and selection of mixing rules. To capture nonidealities, several existing mixing rules are adopted, namely, vdW1, vdW2, Wong-Sandler, and Zhong and Masuoka. The A E term in the Wong-Sandler mixing rule is evaluated by the Flory-Huggins model. Therefore, the experimental data are calculated by the PR equation of state incorporating different mixing rules, including the consideration of binary interaction parameters and liquid phase parameters. After determining the binary interaction parameter k ij , the Flory interaction parameter χ, and the number of solvent-size segments parameter r, using experimental vapor-liquid equilibria data, it was possible to obtain excellent correlations of the VLE data for these systems. The Wong-Sandler rule seems to give better results in representing the properties of polymeric solutions. This can be explained by the size difference between the polymer and the solvent, which means that one parameter is not sufficient to describe this disparity.

noun \ˈbək-tē\Definition of BHAKTI
Origin of BHAKTI
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Southern Asian devotional movement, particularly in Hinduism, emphasizing the love of a devotee for his or her personal god. In contrast to Advaita, bhakti assumes a dualistic relationship between devotee and deity. Though Vishnu, Shiva, and Shakti (see shakti) all have cults, bhakti characteristically developed around Vishnu's incarnations as Rama and Krishna. Practices include reciting the god's name, singing hymns, wearing his emblem, and making pilgrimages. The fervour of South Indian hymnists in the 7th–10th centuries spread bhakti and inspired much poetry and art. Poets such as Mirabai conceived of the relationship between the worshiper and the god in familiar human terms (e.g., the lover and beloved), while more abstract poets such as Kabir and his disciple Nanak, the first Sikh Guru and founder of Sikhism, portrayed the divinity as singular and ineffable.

Are there general guidelines for deck building in terms of how many of each type of card to include? For example, MtG suggests so-many lands , so-many characters etc in a deck. Are there similar suggestions for WHI to get started with?
General Guidelines for Deck Composition
Posted 02 January 2013 - 06:05 AM
Posted 06 January 2013 - 04:01 AM
A quick look at deckbox.org or at the tournament decks will reveal that builds really depend on the strategies you are interested in exploring. For instance the current world champion used a deck with only 6 units because he was relying on a potent combo to win.
Past decks seem to have at least 20 units with most running 20+ without exceeding 24 or so.
Many in the past have excluded quest cards, but recent developments in the meta game have people reconsidering them.
At my gaming table, we don't delve into deck construction but play a version where we take a faction, blindly shuffle in 23 units, 7 support, 8 tactics, 2 quests, and 10 Order or Destruction or neutral Neutral cards. This seems to work well and allows us to play pretty balanced decks that explore all the cards in my collection.
Hope that helps.

BMW Sauber F1.06 - rear-end detail 20 January 2006
As on all the 2006 machines, the sidepods are smaller and narrower, particularly as they reach the 'coke-bottle' section at the rear of the car (red arrow), where the bodywork looks like a second skin applied to its internal elements. This minimal design is intended to smooth the airflow to the rear diffuser. Hidden by shields at the car's launch, the F1.06's diffuser looks very similar to that of the previous Sauber C24 in its side sections, sporting a small flip-up right in front of the rear wheels, hiding within it two heat sensors, and sporting a small, vertical fin just inside the wheel.

While most of the music-loving world has descended upon the indie music mecca of SXSW in Austin, Tx., some of us poor souls are stuck tooling around in boring ole New York. What's there to do in this city, anyway?
The answer to that was easy last night: see the New York Dolls. Even 38 years after their debut — which is still the most convincing argument that rock is best played loud, fast and in drag — the New York Dolls own the stage like they invented modern rock.

Company: CACTUS IMAGING
State: NEW SOUTH WALES
Sector: MANUFACTURING
Cactus Imaging, from Sydney, produces some of the worlds largest outdoor advertisements and billboards, using software technology to generate high resolution colour images which are then projected onto tough, durable vinyl surfaces. In Australia, Cactus Imaging employs 60 people in its Sydney facility.
In December 2000, Cactus opened a 50:50 joint venture production plant in Chennai (Tamil Nadu), where it employs 60 people. Cactus Imaging was looking for an offshore production facility to access Asian markets, while Cactus Indian partner wanted help producing modern billboards inside India. Their products have a competitive edge over other billboard producers, because the quality of Cactus billboards is better than the typical hand painted Indian billboards that are produced on less durable surfaces. Cactus technology found a ready market in India, given its high demand for outside billboards and the tough Indian weather conditions. Cactus emphasises the importance of partner choice in a venture of this type; not only did they build strong business and personal relationships with their potential partners, but also conducted and hosted visits to both countries prior to entering the agreement. They are also finding that their Indian partners are very IT-savvy and are beginning to enhance the technology products that Cactus brought to the relationship.
The future for Cactus Imagings Indian venture looks very promising. When they first entered the Indian market, only 5 per cent of outdoor billboards used vinyl; this has increased to 15 per cent and in two years time the share is forecast to be as high as 45 per cent. The Indian joint venture sells billboards within India via offices in Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkatta and also exports to regional markets in Pakistan, Dubai and Sri Lanka. They also are looking to expand sales into south-east Asia from their Indian operations.

B-sides: Carrie Brownstein on songwriting, the solitude of blogging, first show butterflies
In Sunday's Washington Post, I profiled Carrie Brownstein, the former Sleater-Kinney guitarist, former NPR music blogger, current "Portlandia" star and current singer-guitarist of indie-supergroup Wild Flag. Here are some morsels that didn't make it into the story.
On how she abandoned drama for punk rock in high school:
When I was a kid, what I wanted to do was acting. I was always involved in theater and drama and would always go to classes outside of school. It wasn't until high school that I discovered punk rock. And that just completely obliterated any interest I had in theater because it was so much more immediate and cool. Within a couple of days you can have a band or play a show. It was so much more rewarding. So I never really thought of it again.
On mourning the end of "Monitor Mix," her music blog for NPR, with strangers:
There was this guy at the grocery story the other day… We're in the beverage aisle and he looks at me sort of forlorn. "I know you're really busy and all, but I really miss monitor mix." It was this really awkward moment where I felt like I should give him a hug. But then I ended up saying, "I miss it too." It was like we were talking about an animal of ours that had passed away.
On the loneliness of blogging versus playing music with others:
I guess I'm just aware of how my work benefits from collaboration and input and critique. There are a lot of rewards that come from writing, but it's very quiet and painful. The process of writing a song, you're playing and there's volume and it's an outlet that's not just the internal implosion of having writers block.
On songwriting in her new band, Wild Flag:
The best songwriting happens when we're all together. We each bring in disparate parts and we move forward trying to take the best of what someone has brought in, and often it turns into something different…We're very open to the organic process of writing and I've been doing something I never did in Sleater-Kinney which is start with vocal melodies and fill the music in later.
On the first Wild Flag show:
We played our first show in Olympia in November and I realized it had been four years since I played. And that was shocking to me. It's strange how time goes by. It was also strange how normal it felt and how at home I felt on stage. It was very emotional, very strange. Music is something I never ever take fro granted and so it was really wonderful to feel connected again and feel very immersed in the music again. It was great. But to be honest, I had to have a shot of whiskey. I felt like I was going to have a panic attack.

Brevard County Man Sentenced For Collection Of Deceased Mother's Social Security Benefits
Orlando, Florida - U.S. Chief District Judge Anne C. Conway today sentenced James T. Parker to 4 years in federal prison for social security fraud. As part of his sentence, the court also ordered Parker to pay restitution in the amount of $158,992.80.
James T. Parker pled guilty to the indictment on March 7, 2012.
According to court documents, on December 24, 1992, two employees of the Bombardier Corporation were testing jet skis on the Indian River, in Brevard County, Florida. In the vicinity of the Spoil Islands, they found remains of a human body floating in the river. On December 28, 1992, the Brevard County medical examiner completed a post mortem examination and noted that the remains were those of an elderly, white female. The remains consisted of five sections and showed evidence of separation by incision. According to the medical examiner's report, the cause of death was undetermined and the probable manner of death listed as a homicide. The human remains were unidentified and Brevard County Sheriff's Office closed the case on February 19, 1993.
In January 2007, the Brevard County Sheriff's Office received complaints from a local homeowner's association regarding James T. Parker, including the whereabouts of his elderly mother, Bertha R. Parker. Based on the deputies' meeting with Mr. Parker, Brevard County Sheriff's Office re-opened the cold case file on the human remains that were found in the Indian River, in December 1992. DNA results confirmed that the remains found in the river was a 99.995% probable match to the mother of Mr. Parker, Bertha S. Parker. Mr. Parker never accounted for the whereabouts of his mother, who lived with him in December 1992, and admitted to receiving her monthly social security checks that were deposited directly into a joint Wachovia Bank account that they both shared since her disappearance in December 1992. Mr. Parker further admitted to withdrawing her social security money and using the money for himself.
This case was investigated by Social Security Administration, Office of Inspector General and the Brevard County Sheriff's Office It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney LaKesia R. Mosley.

Some critics say that if a movie has reached its fifth sequel, it's either the material is top-grade or the producers have scraped the bottom of the barrel. It remains to be seen what can be said about the upcoming Scary Movie 5 that will feature cameo roles from Hollywood washouts in Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan. The MediaFreaks 3D Animation Studio Blog lets you judge the trailer for yourselves:
Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan's purpose for the movie with their bit roles is to command some sensational headlines at the very least. The lead role of the film is really Ashley Tisdale after mainstay Anna Faris left the franchise. Scary Movie 5 will be released in movie theaters on April 12, 2013.

Our rants about beer and beer culture.
SaveOnBrew Exclusive Interview: Back Forty Beer Co. Founder Jason Wilson
Alabama is not the likeliest location for a craft brewery. "Alabama is widely seen as the wasteland for craft beer in America," according to Back Forty Beer Company's website. They took their name after the "back 40 acres of land, furthest from the barn," which are "historically the most challenging land to maintain and often overlooked due to their remote location." Yet, the farmer that is willing to dig a little deeper often finds the most fertile land here.
The same may be said of Back Forty Beer which, despite all odds (and archaic laws), has found surprising success in a market largely dominated by mainstream brew, not to mention a few totally dry counties. The company currently offers four flagship beers: Naked Pig (Pale Ale), Truck Stop Honey (Brown Ale), Freckle Belly (Indian Pale Ale), and Kudzu (Porter). After winning the 2010 Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal, this craft brewer has grown to over 930 distributors throughout the southeast.
This week, we picked the brain of Founder and President Jason Wilson to learn more about brewing beer in Gadsden, Alabama...
SaveOnBrew: You guys faced some unique legal hurdles in Alabama. As recently as 2008, it was illegal to produce beer at greater than 6% ABV, illegal to operate a tasting room, illegal to sell directly to the public, illegal to package beer in containers larger than 16 oz, and illegal to seek out investors. How has the landscape changed over the past 5 years, and what challenges are you still dealing?
Jason Wilson: It has certainly been a challenge, but we knew that before we started. Some people see a tough legal environment as a barrier to entry, but we viewed it as an opportunity to have a front row seat in the development of a new industry in this State. As a fourth generation Alabamian, that was something I felt very strongly about.
As President of the Alabama Brewers Guild, I have always been a fan of the slow and steady approach to legislative issues. In 2009, Alabama increased the limit on ABV% and paved the way for countless new breweries. In 2011, the State passed the Brewery Modernization Act, opening the door for on-site tap rooms at the Brewery. In 2012, we successfully passed the Gourmet Bottle Bill, which allowed breweries to package their product in bottles up to 750ml.
One of the biggest challenges our industry still faces is access to capital. Because we operate in what is known as the '3-Tier System,' it is illegal for wholesalers to hold any financial stake in a brewery. It is also illegal for a restaurant owner to have a financial stake in a brewery. The intention of the law is to prevent monopolistic practices by large players in the beer industry, but the unintended consequence is that many small breweries can't reach out to the businesses that know their products the best when it comes time to raise additional capital for expansion.
SOB: What was your approach in creating beers that would appeal to a Southern population used to light macro-brews?
JW: We have always been focused on great interpretations of classic beer styles. We try to bring approachable beers to the market and encourage customers to explore the many varieties of sessionable craft beer that are available.
We're also very focused on our approach to Southern customers. Southerners have always held a very strong appreciation for artisan products and sustainable business practices; they just don't care much for the pomp and circumstance that come along with it.
That's why we have so much fun naming our products. We like to laugh at ourselves and have fun with all of those stereotypes about the Deep South. The result is a sense of ownership by the customers who support our business.
Photo: Back Forty Beer Co. Founders Zach Folmer (L) and Jason Wilson (R) pulled their pig taps early when they ran out of beer at the Magic City Brewfest.
SOB: Your website features a lot of really cool recipes. Yet, aside from beer batter fish, we never really think to use beer in cooking. What can beer add to a dish that nothing else can? How can we get people to warm up to the idea of cooking with beer?
JW: My experience with beer and food really began as a sales strategy. I was driving all over the State trying to get different bars and restaurants to carry our products. I was having a tough time because the big breweries dominate the retail space. One day I was tired of hearing the same answer, so I decided to bypass the bar manager and walk to the kitchen to have a talk with the Chef. I have always had an appreciation for culinary professionals and I knew there would be a mutual appreciation for what we were trying to accomplish with craft beer.
Five years later, it's the defining characteristic of our company. We have great relationships with chefs all over the country and have gone as far as designing custom beers for a couple of James Beard Award-winning chefs.
One of the most unique things about pairing food and beer is the variety of styles and flavor profiles available to choose from. Unlike wineries, Craft Brewers have an almost infinite list of malted barley, hops, yeast and spice combinations that can be adjusted to produce flavor profiles that are very specific and much easier to pair with food.
Beer has been around for thousands of years and it has been used in the kitchen from the beginning. I recommend starting your journey at www.craftbeer.com. Begin with something easy like a beer bread mix and work your way up to some more complex beer-based sauces and reductions. And if you're in the mood for a good laugh, check out our "Beer Before Breakfast" web series.
SOB: Share with our readers how you created one of your most popular beers from start to finish – from coming up with the concept and label design, to selecting the ingredients and brewing.
JW: We are really fortunate to have one of the most highly decorated Master Brewers in the South here at Back Forty Beer Company. Jamie Ray has been brewing beer for over 20 years and has received multiple medals from the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup.
Jamie and our assistant brewers have the freedom to brew whatever they want, whenever they want. Our tap room serves as a great starting point for the process. If our customers respond positively to the test batches, we will brew a larger batch and send samples to the Chefs that we work closely with.
After the Chefs give their feedback, it's time for us to start thinking about refining the recipe and designing the packaging. When it comes time to designing a label, it's all about the name for us. We start thinking about Southern-inspired names that might get a good laugh, but also do a good job of telling the story of the beer.
For example, we use local wildflower honey in our award winning Truck Stop Honey Brown Ale. We named the beer 'Truck Stop Honey' because the beekeeper we were sourcing the local honey from primarily sold his product in truck stops throughout the State. But there's also an inside joke there for Southerners. Anyone who has spent time in Alabama knows that the term 'Truck Stop Honey' can have an entirely different meaning!
SOB: We imagine that the test batches you make are some of the most enjoyable parts of your job. Can you tell us about the best and worst experiments you've done?
JW: We just finished a batch of Sweetened Cuban Coffee Stout that turned out great. We use real Cuban Coffee and the aroma is just unreal. We also just finalized the recipe for our new wheat seasonal, brewed with local peaches from Chilton County, Alabama.
As for the worst, there are too many to list! We brewed a beer with peanuts once and it was awful. We also tried a chili pepper beer once that made everyone in the brewery very sick. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it!
SOB: What's the most interesting feedback you've received from one of your beers?
JW: I remember getting cornered by a very passionate homebrewer one time at a beer festival. He started off by telling me how the 'Kudzu leaves' in our Kudzu Porter were way too overpowering. He then proceeded to spend the better part of the next hour explaining how we could go about fixing the issue. I never had the heart to tell him that we don't actually put Kudzu leaves in the beer.
Probably the most interesting thing to me is how proud people are when they see our products outside of the home market. We get tons of emails from locals who have seen our beers in Miami or Atlanta and they are always so proud of their home brewery.
SOB: Is there any way for people outside the southeast to get their paws on one of your beers?
JW: We sell our beers throughout Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida. And if you happen to be on vacation in Grand Cayman, make sure to stop by Michael's Genuine Food and Drink. They have all of our products.
We will also be participating in a special edition mixed 24-pack of American Craft Beer that will be distributed throughout Canada later this year.
If all else fails and you can't make it to the Deep South, you can always catch us at the Great American Beer Festival held each year in Denver, Colorado.
SOB:If a beer lover were in Gadsden, Alabama for just 24 hours, where do you recommend they go?
JW: Our tap room, of course! But if you knock on the door and nobody answers, make your way across the railroad tracks of our historic downtown and grab a pint at the best beer bar in Gadsden, Blackstone Pub.
SOB: What would people be most surprised to learn about the secret world of brewing?
JW: I think most people would be surprised how much cooperation there is in our industry. Unlike most industries where you have competitors that are constantly trying to put you out of business, the craft beer industry is a very tight community.
It's not uncommon for breweries to loan each other raw materials to bridge a gap in supply. It's also pretty common to see brewers drinking other local beers while they are out in the market. It's just a really great environment to do business in.

Talk about an Icebreaker!
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010For the women who run – and row, and swim, and whatever else – in the all weather conditions including the current frigid one, the right sportswear is incredibly important. So thank goodness there's Icebreaker, a New Zealand brand looking to break its way into the New York market with the first sustainable and ethically manufactured, directly-sourced outdoorsy wear made out of…. Merino wool? It sounds odd, we know, but believe it or not, pure merino fibre is highly breathable and wicking, helping to prevent the clamminess often associated with synthetics-made outerwear. It also prevents odor for day, or even weeks – not that ladies ever sweat, of course – and protects the wearer from the sun's rays in its silky soft fabric.
Starting today, New Yorkers can stop by the brand's new 2,500-square-foot TouchLab flagship store in trendy SoHo – 102 Wooster Street, between Prince and Spring Streets to be exact – to dip their hands into some pure raw merino, learn more about Icebreaker's various collections – Outdoor, Running, Cycling, Travel, Kids, Underwear, and City – and of course purchase some ideal and unique holiday gifts for their sporty friends once they've fallen in love.
Find out more about the brand and special holiday promotions they have going on at the new store after the jump!

Spyker have confirmed that their German reserve driver, Markus Winklehock, will make his Formula One race debut with the team in this weekends European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring.
Winkelhock temporarily steps into the seat left vacant by Christijan Albers, who parted company with Spyker last week after contractual difficulties. The team have yet to confirm who will partner their other race driver, Adrian Sutil, for the rest of the season.
Obviously its a dream come true said Winklehock. I havent had much time in the car this year but Im physically and mentally prepared. Its a one-off opportunity at the moment and I will make the most of it.
Spyker team principal Colin Kolles added: I am pleased to be able to reward Markus for his patience and loyalty to the team over the last 18 months with his F1 debut at the Nurburgring. Its very much a one-off race at the moment as we need some more time to decide who will be Adrians partner for the rest of the year.
Winkelhock, 27 and from Stuttgart, is the son of the late Formula One and sports car racer Manfred Winkelhock. He made four Friday practice appearances for Spyker (then Midland) last year and was named an official test driver ahead of the 2007 season. This year he has also continued to compete in the DTM touring car series in his home country.
Speculation over who will get the full-time Spyker race seat has focused on Honda tester and ex-Red Bull racer Christian Klien, who made his test debut with the Dutch team at Spa last week.

Each October, students start frenzy into the whole college selection process. One key to avoiding being caught up in this rush is to start the process early. The intent of the Orientation and the College Planning Handbook that was given to each Junior was to help guide the student and parents through the process. Every parent and student should take the time to read through the booklet. Most of the information and resources used in the creation of this booklet have been borrowed, begged or stolen from a whole variety of other sources. We believe we have compiled the best information in the most compact format.
As you are thinking about going to college, there is a myriad elements about which you and your parents must think. One of the primary considerations is that of the country in which you will study. Once that is determined you have to decide.
Where? Cost? Major? Which school? And lots, lots more!!!
This guidebook is meant to provide you with some basic information as you think about higher education. The emphasis is upon higher education in the United States as more and more BISM students are planning to go to the U.S. for their undergraduate college studies. However, some information about other systems is included but is more limited in the U.S. data. To find general info about non-US systems, go to the appropriate page in this guidebook or visit websites.
College decisions are a collaborative effort among students, parents, counselors, teachers, friends, and admissions personnel. Communication and information gathering from all sources are essential. We have taken the liberty of extracting information from many primary and secondary sources as well as some opinions of our own to provide this eclectic presentation of information.

2. Nintendo's new second-screen gaming console, the Wii U, is to go on sale in the UK on 30 November, as it seeks to gain the upper hand on PlayStation and Xbox, which are not releasing their new consoles until next year. The console, which is being sold in 8GB memory or 32GB memory versions, is listed on Amazon priced at £250 and £299 respectively. Both consoles come with a touchscreen Gamepad, which is a tablet-style touch screen, with a 6.2-inch screen that works as a controller and also has the ability to function as a TV remote. Some games will also be able to be played on the Gamepad as well, if a TV screen is unavailable. The console is also intended to be used as a video-on-demand player, in a similar way to Xbox. Nintendo is banking on the success of the console, having made its first annual loss in 50 years as a public company, as it struggles to cope with the growth of smartphones and tablets, and the flop of its 3DS handheld computer. Nintendo's marketing mix tends to have a heavy weighting in experiential, although it has not revealed UK marketing plans for its console yet.
3. Unilever is putting women at the heart of its activity for Flora pro.activ and partnering with the British Heart Foundation in a new £3m campaign, as it seeks to raise awareness of heart disease. he 'Love Your Heart' campaign launches later this month and runs until early December, encouraging women to talk to friends, relatives and colleagues about heart disease. Flora pro.active is Unilever's cholesterol-lowering brand. The campaign tells women to check their risk factors, including cholesterol, with a healthcare professional, and to make the "simple" diet and lifestyle changes that help to reduce their risk. The campaign features TV, press, radio, PR, digital and social media activity, including on-pack and in-store promotions that offer free cholesterol tests. Unilever is keen to debunk the myth that men are the main victims of heart disease. The activity will use the strapline, "Proudly partnering with the British Heart Foundation to raise awareness of heart disease amongst women". The global FMCG giant is also donating £750,000 to the charity. Further activity includes a competition on promotional packs offering consumers to win a heart health prize – a pedometer or one of 20 weekend holidays – by entering a unique code into www.flora.com/competition.
4. Burberry has unveiled one of the most technologically advanced stores in the UK. Burberry Regent Street in London blurs the physical and digital world to create 'Burberry World Live', which claims to offer customers the physical expression of the brand's most innovative digital launches in recent times. The launch of the landmark store today (13 September) comes in the same month that the luxury retailer issued a profits warning, saying sales had stalled. The store's features include a 22ft-high screen, 500 hidden speakers and a hydraulic stage. It also showcases RFID microchips – radio-frequency identification – in some of its clothes. This means that when a customer wears the microchipped clothing, they can look into a mirror that transforms into a screen, which shows how the garment would look on a catwalk. There will also be a digitally enabled gallery and events space. The store covers four floors and is the largest Burberry branch in the world. According to Burberry, 1% of the value of all purchases made in Burberry Regent Street will go to support the work of the Burberry Foundation, its charitable arm. Angela Ahrendts, Burberry chief executive officer, said: "Burberry Regent Street brings our digital world to life in a physical space for the first time, where customers can experience every facet of the brand through immersive multimedia content, exactly as they do online. Walking through the doors is just like walking into our website. It is Burberry World Live."
5. Chinese technology brand Huawei, the second-biggest supplier of mobile telecoms infrastructure equipment in the world, has bolstered its presence in the UK. Last month, through an agreement with Vodafone, it launched its Ascend P1 handset here, aimed at budget-conscious consumers. It is backing the launch with a major marketing campaign spanning outdoor, digital and print media. This includes a partnership with Eurosport, agreed in July, under which ads for the Ascend model are broadcast during selected live events covered by the channel. All of this is indicative of Huawei's intention to take on the likes of Apple and Samsung as it aims to become one of the top consumer smartphone brands in the UK, albeit with a cheaper proposition than its competitors. Huawei claims the Ascend device is 'built for entertainment'. The handset features a graphics chip aimed at enhancing the mobile gaming experience and video quality. Key stat: 65% of Huawei's revenues come from markets outside China.
