Inspired by Brittany Maynard, California legislators just introduced a bill to let the terminally ill end their own lives.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
This is a cause to which I give my fullest support. Every person should have the right to decide when his/her life no longer has the quality which they require. (Of course, there should be some brakes so that those who are not competent to fully assess the future can be stopped from rash action, but even those who are depressed or who are mentally incompetent should, in the end, have the right to assess the worth of continued life.)
Harvested from both the sea and the Earth, kosher salt has a variety of uses. The most common use is seasoning large pieces of meat and steaks. The larger pieces of salt provide a stronger flavor. Only a small amount of this salt gives food enough salt presence.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
When somebody is worth their salt, I wonder which kind of salt is meant. Seriously, I never knew there were so many varieties.
Why (and how) do we fall in love? Scientists have been conducting love experiments for years and we present you with a list of the strangest.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Yes, that dolphin was hot for the woman. Just one of the strange stories in this fun read.
For decades, scientists have been stumped over how sea turtles can locate their birthplace after having traveled thousands of miles. Now, a new study may have found the answer.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
While I am fascinated by this answer, it still leave me unhappy. I was sure they just called SpongeBob for directions. Now a real question, with all the microwaves flowing through the atmosphere, will this affect turtle navigation? I can imagine them making their labored way to some secret government installation and being mistaken for cyber-warfare ninja turtles.
Holder's action represents the most sweeping check on police power to confiscate personal property since the seizures began three decades ago.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Congratulations Mr. Attorney General on doing the right thing. Local and state police have been abusing this federal law for years. The "war on drugs" has clearly shown that government bureaucracies can become as unscrupulous as the worst gangs.
Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and many other prominent figures have signed an open letter pushing for responsible AI oversight in order to mitigate risks and ensure the "societal benefit" of the technology.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Will man create the next species, one that doesn't need us? Will those AI devices take over? Are we living in the age of a Steven King novel? I have an idea for a short story, which I won't share here but which scares me simply because I am thinking that way. If I can imagine it, maybe my computer can as well.
On the third go-round, Mitt Romney wants America to see his true, natural self. This should be good ...
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Vanilla? If he really wants to get votes for being human he should have gone with ice cream that offered color, preferably a color that would clash with his dark blue, doesn't everybody dress like this, shirt. More importantly, he has no empathy, and I'm not sure he can fake that. This man is a true successor to Herbert Hoover. Don't get me wrong, Hoover was a great technocrat and probably a decent man. Just couldn't understand people and their needs.
Study shows dogs arrived in the Americas only 10,000 years ago.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
This shows how intelligent dogs are. They waited for us humans to settle in, get control over the predators, make sure there was a good supply of food, and of course buy decent doggie beds.
In 1961, with memories of Holocaust atrocities and the prosecution of Nazi officials at Nuremburg still fresh, psychologist Stanley Milgram undertook a series of now infamous experiments on obedience and reprehensible behavior. But Milgram divided his subjects into just two categories: obedient or disobedient. After examining the experiences of more than 100 of Milgram's participants, Matthew Hollander, a graduate student in sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, sees a great deal more
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Too often those who know what is wrong are afraid to resist, or at least to go beyond token resistance. One form of resistance is insanity, which is part of the truth which I try to share in "Memoirs." However, in the end, it is not enough to resist what is wrong, it is essential that we stand up and declare that who we are and what we value.
Some of the victims didn't receive protection, but others were offered protection and turned it down.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
The right to cross-examine ones accusers must be protected, but so should the witnesses. One way to protect them is to allow depositions to be admitted if a witness is murdered before trial. This would actually make it foolish for perpetrators to use murder as an out. It might be reasonable if once the deposition were taken to allow the defense to also take a deposition in a protective situation. Then if the witness is killed, why both sides are available to the jury.
Judge Norko's Hartford Community Court in Connecticut provides swift justice for non-violent offenders while unburdening criminal courts and helping to break the revolving cycle of incarceration.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
The point is that saving people and their lives is the very essence of true justice.
President Obama unveiled a plan Thursday to make two-year community colleges free for "anyone who is willing to work for it."
Kenneth Weene's insight:
While I applaud this plan, it is not enough. We should be using monetary rewards to keep kids in school and working towards useful educations much earlier in their lives. For example, why don't we create educational savings accounts for kids in high school and add to those funds based on their school efforts and learning. That way, by the time a kid has finished high school (s)he can have a nest egg for the next phase. Indeed, I would also give them part of that money during those school years so they could feel good about themselves. It takes a country to raise all its children.
After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. So why don't you surprise your guests with an unusual teapot while serving this traditional infusion? (teapots)
Kenneth Weene's insight:
I love tea and there are some great pots in this post. Of course, I don't actually use a teapot most of the time, preferring to brew by the cup. But I still want a giraffe. Anybody listening. My birthday is coming soon. Hint, hint. |
A fragment of the Gospel According to Mark dating from 90 AD was reused as a burial mask for a mummy, say scientists.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
If you love archeology and Biblical history, and I do, this is a great piece. What the actual text may say is not yet public, but my guess is it won't be a blockbuster. Still what a fascinating find. Of course, the question of whether to keep the mask intact or get to the written materials is in itself fascinating.
A recent study in the European Journal of Sports Sciences concludes the majority of students do not wash, yet the same students would happily start if the European Journal of Sports Sciences would stop 'creeping them out'. The same teenagers admit that the main causes of self-consciousness in the shower were body self-image, duelling banjos or someone called Big Gonzo telling you to 'pick up the soap'.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
My bet: All of us, men and women, can recall the discomfort of showering after PE class. At least as adults we can laugh at those memories.
Across Europe there are buildings that are nothing short of temples of literature, glorious structures where books are not just available, but placed in beautiful and honored shelves. Take a virtual tour through the stacks of some of the world's most jaw-dropping libraries.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Cathedrals built to honor not a god but books, the ultimate expression of humanism. As a writer, these are sacred places that fill my soul with awe.
Despite increasing strife between their respective followers and the impending Judgement Day in which the sheep may or may not be separate from the goats and the unbelievers may or may not be cast into the eternal pit of fire, it has emerged that God, Allah and Jehovah are still unable to agree on the format of their long-awaited live TV debate. The main bone of contention is said to be whether or not other gods should be included, while there have also been calls for a separate debate to the north, where Odin is seen as a serious contender. Jehovah, a jealous god, has refused point blank to appear on the same platform as Ba'al or Marduk, while Allah insists that no other gods can take part in the debate because they don't exist anyway.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Now this has me laughing. I hope my friends will find it amusing, too. I am sure that any god worth his/her/its salt has a sense of humor; if not why on earth do we have ostriches and wombats?
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) bucked the National Rifle Association on Thursday and vetoed a concealed carry gun bill that would have allowed some people with restraining orders issued against them for domestic violence to carry a concealed pistol.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Congratulations Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan for putting common sense and the safety of domestic violence victims ahead of politics and toeing the party/NRA line.
A simple schedule change can make produce seem way more appealing
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Brilliant. And just another consideration, playing before lunch may get the kids hungrier and in a more up mood, which makes eating their veggies more pleasurable. This is just plain rational thinking.
A jail sentence and an eleventh-hour police raid on his law office didn't stop Virginia Del. Joe Morrissey from winning a special election to retain his seat Tuesday.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
So he's going to jail for having sex with a girl who was too young, but she was old enough to be his receptionist. Somehow that isn't quite the same as having sex with a little kid. Sometimes the lines of the law seem to fine for common sense. But the really weird part of this is the speaker of the house of delegate's statement. "The honor and integrity of the House of Delegates," does any legislature still have honor and integrity? Anyway, herein lies the makings of a short story.
A Fox News "terrorism expert" was forced to issue an apology on Sunday after he wrongly stated on-air that one British city was "totally Muslim" while discussing extremism in Europe following the recent attacks in Paris.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
It isn't that he was so totally wrong that astounds. It isn't that somebody who is this incompetent is on Fox that surprises. Rather, it is the fact that somebody can call any of the clown on Fox an expert about terror or anything else that boggles the mind. When will people get it—Faux is a network of charlatans determined to spread bigotry, hate, and fear because they think the average person is too dumb to know better.
Admitted he could not remember where they came from.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Who among us does not have a pile of old cables and the like? Actually, I have gotten rid of a lot of my collection, but not in the trash. Electronics related recycling is easily available at most stores that sell this stuff, and that is better for the environment and allows the materials to be reused. Don't forget those batteries as well.
Since the time of Socrates and Plato, humans have pondered the origin of our words. Now we're closer to an answer
Kenneth Weene's insight:
As an author, I am constantly faced with language as I know and understand it and my fascination with creating and recreating it. Sometimes, I add words or more typically forms of words that have not previously been used. My editor gnashes his teeth, but if the meaning is clear and the sound right, why not? In the novella which begins "Broody New Englander," I include extraterrestrials whose language does not admit of personal pronouns. That, too, is an experiment in language. How might it change our understanding of the social world if we did not differentiate among me, you, and him? Anyway, this book, "The Domestication of Language", seems worth the reading.
A priest in Dublin received a standing ovation from his congregation as he came out as gay after his sermon where he called for same sex marriage equality in Ireland.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Bravo, Fr. Dolan. Now how long will it take for the Catholic Church to be ready for an openly gay pope?
Six elderly monks keep a recipe for a delicious handmade cheese -- one that may soon disappear.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
A great story for those of us who consider cheese proof of God's existence. As a true turophile, I applaud this monk and only wish I could visit for a taste, or perhaps an entire wheel. |

List items
1. Peter Parker
616 Spiderman. Favorite interpretation Original Spiderman comics
2. Ultimate Spiderman
1610 Peter Parker. I thought this interpretation was very interesting It's a shame he died in the the Ultimate Universe but I guess miles is something new.
3. Spider-Man 2099
2099 Spiderman. I find this version of the character new and exciting I look forward to seeing how Dan Slott depicts him
4. Doctor Octopus
616 Superior Spiderman. I think it was a cool idea and a nice change but I do miss Peter I don't see this Spiderman as Superior more like Inferior Spiderman.
5. Miles Morales
1610 current Spiderman. Granted this character is a new and interesting take but I must say the recycling of the classic Spiderman origin felt cheap and I would much prefer if they had did something new I must say he is overrated.

Well, it was everything I expected, and more. To me, the 911 Turbo is the ultimate Porsche. I appreciate the standard all-wheel drive, as opposed to the more "pure" rear-wheel-drive GT3 and GT2. This beast is wild enough for me, thank you very much. And I live in Michigan, which means the 911 Turbo could be a very livable daily driver for me, should an extra $150K fall into my lap.
I spent a lot of time in the Type 996 911 Turbo, which in its day (early 2000s) seemed to be everything someone could want in a Porsche, with its 414-hp, 413-lb-ft, 3.6-liter turbocharged boxer six. Oh, how quaint that all seems now. This 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo has a 500-hp, 480-lb-ft, 3.8-liter boxer six, and that gem of an engine is mated to, finally, a proper dual-clutch transmission. Porsche calls its new seven-speed dual-clutch the PDK, and it's pretty wonderful. The old five-speed Tiptronic becomes a distant memory.
At its core, this car is all about the acceleration, the sound of the turbo six, and the brakes -- oh, my, the brakes. I found myself rocketing along open stretches of two-lane, reaching 120 mph within seconds, coming to my senses, and nailing the brakes. HARD. I don't have any official measurements, but I got the sense that, if you were going 120 mph and needed to scrub off 50 mph right quick, you might actually manage to do it before the cop pointed his radar gun at you.
Or maybe that's just wishful thinking. After one brief evening driving this car, I was somewhat relieved that the Porsche people came and took it away, because I was afraid I might have an unwelcome roadside conference with a member of the Michigan State Police. The speeds you can obtain in the Porsche 911 Turbo are that deceptive. I launched the car onto one of my favorite on-ramps onto I-94, and as I merged into the traffic lane, my passenger, a keen enthusiast, admonished me that he didn't want me to go more than 80 mph. "I just want to hear the engine and get a sense of the car," he was saying. "I don't want you to lose your license." When I informed him that I was already going 107 mph at the end of the entrance ramp, he was shocked. "I had NO idea we were going that fast!"
As for the PDK itself, it comes with nicely damped paddle shifters that make a cool little "dunk" sound when you engage them. Unfortunately they follow the steering wheel's rotation rather than staying fixed to the steering column, which would be my preference.
Our black-on-black test car made just the right statement about the 911 Turbo's capabilities, I thought: this is a serious, and seriously capable, sports car of the highest order. I need more seat time!

Hi, I've been offered a bunch of clumping bamboo for free but the catch is I have to get it now (early November, eastern PA). I was planning on buying and planting in the spring but I'm pretty tempted. Would it be a waste of time to attempt to transplant now? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by kentuck_8b __ (My Page) on Thu, Nov 7, 13 at 20:10
Definitely not a waste of time. Be careful to not let the roots/rhizomes dry out from digging to replanting and dig as large of a rootball as possible and you will be set for next Spring. Just don't dig and transplant on a below freezing day. Kt |

Freesat launches advertising review
Freesat, the free-to-air digital satellite TV service, is in the early stages of reviewing its creative agency requirements as it looks to define its positioning in an increasingly competitive market.
Freesat: VCCP, the incumbent agency, is pitching for the creative business
The joint venture between the BBC and ITV has used VCCP as its advertising agency for the past three years. It is not yet known how many agencies are involved in the process, but VCCP is repitching for the work.
As Campaign went to press, the agencies pitching for the account had yet to receive a brief from Freesat but expected one imminently.
Freesat confirmed that the pitch was taking place and added that it was not using an intermediary but could not provide any further detail on the brief.
The appointed agency is likely to be tasked with defining the platform's offer to consumers amid competition from both pay-TV services and other free platforms, such as Freeview and YouView.
Albion was picked to handle the creative account for the internet-connected TV platform YouView last month. YouView, which also counts the BBC and ITV among its shareholders, called the review in January after Adam & Eve/DDB resigned the business.
Meanwhile, Freeview, which offers free-to-air TV over an aerial and is also part-owned by the BBC and ITV, launched a three-year, £60 million ad campaign by Leo Burnett in 2011.
Freeview's latest spot took aim at the pay-TV market by claiming 95 per cent of the most-watched programmes in the UK are available on its platform.
In January, Freesat hired Paul Gilshan, the former director of commercial marketing and research at ITV, to fill the void left by the marketing director Will Abbott, who joined Hiscox.
Freesat's most recent ad campaign, created by VCCP and released in September 2012, promoted its new interactive set-top boxes.

To the dude who answers the phone at Big Cheese Pizza
Not only have you never fucked up my pizza, but you make me feel like my pizza order is the only pizza order that matters. That, my friend, is totally hot. I'll bet you wear glasses, can fold 8,000 pizza boxes in less than a minute, make funny faces while you're answering the phones, and, incidentally, are great in the sack.
So, even though I have never seen you, you are my official delivery-food crush. Other pizza places have been deleted from my phone. Father and Son has been sending me these "We Miss You! We Haven't Heard From You In a While!" coupons. Friendship Chinese is almost totally forgotten, as is Thai Spice. Festa, Vito Angelo's--all gone. And Little Clown Pizzeria is an even bigger joke than it was before.
In my dreams, someday it will be YOU who actually delivers the pizza to my apartment and stands in the vestibule for the rather-awkward exchange of money for cheese, dough, and tomato sauce. I know that you're not the delivery guy--you're the dude who answers the phone. But don't you think it would be nice someday to try something wacky and trade jobs with the delivery guy? Just to keep things "fresh?"
Only it is important that on this day, the day when you guys trade jobs, you let me know in advance. I am not sure how this will work out--I don't think you have any way of contacting me. But it is very important that on the day when you trade jobs with the delivery guy that I do not come to the door in old cook's pants which I have turned into pajamas and a Styx T-shirt, like I always do for the regular delivery guy, since he is not my type.
Now, I don't want you to think that I am some loser who orders pizza every night and listens to Styx. No. I am well-educated, attractive, and intelligent. I like to cook at home. A friend gave me the Styx T-shirt, and it's actually pretty cool. It's just that I work in a restaurant, and sometimes, I don't feel like doing a damn thing when I get done with a shift.
Not a damn thing, that is, except calling you to order a pizza. So, give some thought to the job-trade thing. You've seen all those pornos, right? Pizza Delivery Guy? Phone Repairman Guy? Notice that it's only the dudes who actually make the house calls who are in these pornos? If you don't come out from behind that phone, how are you ever going to get laid?
Or maybe we can just split the pizza and see how things progress from there.
Very Sincerely Yours,
Pepperoni, Mushroom, and Onion

The idea of YEAR ONE comics isn't new. They were a big part of DC Comics even before the New 52 started. Seeing the early days of the heroes has always been a fascinating read.
When the New 52 started, we were given a five year time line where most of the characters' histories have taken place. Despite being a year into the stories, there's still a lot we don't know. We're not exactly sure what has or hasn't happened. We don't really know how certain characters first met and what events have been erased. What the zero issues are doing is filling in some of those gaps.
This week's question is should DC put out some YEAR ONE ongoing titles for different characters? Is there a need for one? There's so much we don't know like how many adventures did Barry Allen and Hal Jordan have? When did Batman first encounter Riddler? Has Superman faced Doomsday?
I suggested last December that DETECTIVE COMICS should be more like ACTION COMICS in giving us stories from the past. Which characters need to have their early days explored? What we're seeing more and more, especially with the zero issues, is the characters' histories are changing. Perhaps in the next "wave" of new titles, we could see some YEAR ONEs added.

Gear Review
suprisingly really nice
the windbreaker feature makes the jacket work really well, and very light feeling at the same time. in addition the holes in the sleeve, as part-glove, is super warm and useful. an excellent coat for the price. the only down side, is that the knitted sleeve part gets caught oftentimes on the velco. but great jacket.

Dirty pants
Great pair of pants. Totally waterproof and super comfy. I'm 6'0 170 and the Large fits perfectly. The only thing I would suggest is wear something warm underneath because these pants are a shell and not built for extremem warmth.

I'm trying to hem a pair of shorts on the sewing machine.Actually they were a pair of pants that I cut off and I am trying to hem them.Material is cotton.I've gotton one leg completed and it looks fine and I've ripped out the other leg twice so far.I've turned the hem up and pressed with the iron before starting.The material wants to pucker halfway through the hemming on this leg.How to correct or what am I doing wrong?I know a little about sewing but not enough I guess.TIA...Debbie |

The material was probably not cut on straight grain on that leg. It was cut more toward the bias. As you are sewing you are probably stretching the cuff so it puckers. Now that you have it pressed, run a basting stitch along the top of the hem--right through the hem and leg. Then go back and do your hemming. Remove the basting when you are finished. Be careful not to pull the material. If you have to leave a small gap on the turned up hem side between stitches. This will iron out later. |
- Posted by carolb_w_fl (My Page) on Sun, Aug 8, 10 at 10:11
You don't say which is puckering, the hem or the leg area. The side seams might be a bit more tapered on the 2nd leg - that would make the hemmed edge shorter than the part you're trying to attach it to, or vice versa. If the leg area is puckering, you might be able to open the side seam enough to add the extra length you need, & if the hem is puckering, you can run a line of stitching along it & ease it in to fit. HTH |
Actually I'm not sure which was causing it.I do feel it was something to do with cutting them not straight perhaps.Anyway I took the hem out of the other leg and hemmed them by hand and had no problems. |

So I bottled my first brew about two weeks ago now, I had one explode a day or two after bottling, and two more just exploded today. Now, I know that it's a product of over-carbonation that this happens, but is it a concern for all the beers I currently have bottled, or is it just random chance? Are there precautions I can take to make sure none explode in my next batch?
Your best bet for this batch is to put on some protective clothing and eye protection and move them to the fridge. This should cold crash the yeast and prevent further bottle bombs. You might consider putting them in cardboard boxes inside trash bags. Otherwise SWMBO might kill you, after you clean the fridge. Next time make sure to take two hydrometer readings 3 days apart to make sure that you are done fermenting. Also make sure you only use 5oz of corn sugar for a 5 gallon batch. Moose
+1 bottle bombs usually happen when beer is primed and bottled before fermentation is complete. Always make sure you're at FG before bottling and don't use more sugar than you need. 5 oz is the max for five gallons, I find that 3.5-4 is usually enough for the 4.75 -5 gal I finish with. In my experience, 5 oz makes the beer a bit to carbed for my tastes
They're not kidding about the protective gear by the way. If a bottle explodes in your hands it would not be a good thing. B
thanks for the tips guys. now, how do i take an FG reading (or two) without contaminating the wort? should i buy a beer thief, or will a turkey baster do the job? also, someone told me to put my wort sample into a pint glass and stick the hydrometer in there to take the reading, but when i did that it just sunk to the bottom, and when i put the sample in the plastic that the hydrometer came in, all the beer overflowed out of it when i dropped the hydrometer in...suggestions?
Don't fill the plastic full just about halfway
on deck: bluegrass pale ale primary: keg condition:american honey brown ale keg drinking:triple layer belgium bottled:hard cider(cant remember which one drank: I.P.A (first batch ever)
Pint glass is probably too short. Just buy a thief or use a turkey baster and a graduated cylinder. Alot of things can cause bottle bombs: bottling too soon (incomplete fermentation), using too much priming sugar, incomplete mixture of priming sugar. Give us some details about how you determined it was time to bottle and how you primed and bottled.
Just use the hydrometer tube if you have it. It is a small amount compared to a pint glass.


text: So, our clients always bring us all these good little treats. I have, of course, not been eating them, even though the brownies yesterday looked great. The problem is, some of my co-workers, and my manager, even though they know I'm trying to lose weight, try to force them on me. And it's not like a "Do you want to try this?", it's a "But this is soooo good. You have to try it. Just a little piece. It's not going to kill you, etc". It seems like they never give up. And then when I politely decline, they make fun of me, calling me twig girl, and anorexic. Yesterday, one girl went so far as to say that my lunch was already packed with calories and was going to make me fat so I might as well have a piece of candy. (Btw, my lunch was a ground chicken patty on whole wheat bread with lettuce, no mayo or ketchup, and a small bowl of miso soup). I know they're just playing around, but I felt horrible the whole day for eating it and had to force myself to eat dinner afterwards and my snacks to keep my calories up above 1000. Anyway, they either make me feel really discouraged, like I'm weird for wanting to lose weight, or they make me feel really fat and then I don't want to eat. What should I do? Sorry this was so long.

Projecting beam or other horizontal member supported at one or more points but not at both ends. Some engineers distinguish between a cantilever, supported at only one fixed end, and an overhanging beam that projects beyond one of its end supports. The free, unsupported end is capable of supporting a weight or surface, such as a concrete slab. Any beam built into a wall with a projecting free end forms a cantilever, which may carry a balcony, canopy, roof, or part of a building above. Cantilevering can be used for constructions as simple as bookshelves or as complicated as bridges.

Warm vibes permeate the air at Morgan Ford Salon & Spa, where stylists shape fashionable hairdos and massage therapists knead away soreness and stress. The salon takes extra steps to assure clients' comfort. For example, each hair treatment?which utilizes Redken products?includes a steamed face towel, scalp massage, shampoo, and conditioning. Morgan Ford's massage therapists practice hot-stone, deep-tissue, and myofascial-release modalities, among other techniques. These bodywork sessions may also incorporate extras, such as heat therapy, aromatherapy oils, and scents, such as chocolate, pumpkin spice, or mango.
Cosmetologist Ambra Robinson sets up shop at 212 Salon, where she beautifies clients with hairstyling and nailcare. Along with cuts and styles, she updates locks with Brazilian keratin treatments and bang-trims, helping guests achieve a new look and reconnect with their eyebrows.
Our Health Club & Spa corrals a state-of-the-art fitness center and full-service day spa under one roof, helping clients radiate health from the inside out. Weight rooms, a swimming pool, saunas, and a juice bar comprise the physical-focused side of the center, where certified personal trainers monitor form and fitness trainers lead more than 30 classes per week. Pampering is the priority on the spa side, which offers everything from customized therapeutic massages and European facials to gentlemen's pedicures, which skip the polish in favor of a barely perceptible coat of Armor All.
Though the club's focus is mainly on adult activities, kids can flex their growing flippers in one-on-one swimming lessons or socialize with other tykes in a childcare center, where colorful toys spill out from rows of cubbyholes. Seniors will find themselves equally at home at Our Health Club & Spa with arthritis-focuses classes that provide an opportunity to stretch out aches and whirlpools that provide a perfect setting for stage readings of The Caine Mutiny.

I made this bomber jacket or "blouson" as Burdastyle magazine refers to it in a zebra print woven with a little stretch in it.
I wanted it to look a little funky and I think it has worked out well.
Relatively easy to make but for beginners the lining could get a little tricky.
I would recommend it for your wardrobe.

"Personalizing my cards was super easy and once I approved the final design they printed and shipped them very fast, my cards arrived 7 days before the original expected date! I am so impressed. Thanks so much"
"These announcements are absolutely beautiful. I called and placed our order over the phone and spoke to a gentleman that was extremely helpful in placing our order. I am very pleased with the way these announcements turned out for our new beautiful bundle of joy!!! Thank you Tinyprints!!!"
"Loved the card. Delivery was very fast- came sooner than quoted. I needed to order more and it was all stored on the site for re-ordering- easy peasy."
"The customer service was above and beyond! After I submitted my order I received a phone call from them saying they could adjust some touch ups that I overlooked. I really appreciated it!!!"
"I chose this design and tinyprints for the weight of the paper and the subtle but girly design. The cards came out perfect! People complimented her and the design of the card. I love that you are able to tailor the fonts and crop the photos, and use different photo enhancements. I even added a photo to the back. Overall, I was very pleased with tinyprints and this design, and I would definitely recommend tinyprints to anyone."

Pop-up ads are small windows that open automatically on your screen. They often (but not always) display advertising, which can be from legitimate businesses, but also might be scams or dangerous software.
Pop-up ads can be part of a phishing scam designed to trick you into revealing sensitive personal or financial information as you surf the web.

Does Perry's Debate Regret Speak to a Broader Trend?
Rick Perry in a Fox News Tuesday interview stated if there was one mistake he's made during his presidential primary campaign was "probably ever doing one of the" debates and went on to say, "All they're interested in is stirring it up between the candidates instead of really talking about the issues that are important to the American people," Later it was reported that Perry may pass on further debates.
But haven't these debates already proven productive allowing for open dialogue about the issues and each candidate's ideas for addressing them? The debates have also allowed the voting public to hear direct arguments for and against these individual policies. The candidates had an active platform to defend their ideas in a public forum along side their peers providing voters an opportunity a glimpse at how each will conduct themselves in similar situations as president.
What is the root of Perry's discontent? Perhaps there is more concern among the candidates of today with passing their bases' purity tests on ideology rather than running on and defending their policy ideas in a substantive manner. Gloria Borger, in her piece "The Perry approach -- campaign first, have ideas later", argues that Perry and other presidential candidates seem to be auditioning for the job with judgments based on their adherence to the conservative belief system as opposed to vetted policy plans.
Is this reaction by Rick Perry a response to a perceived need to pass the base's tests? Or does it reflect a broader trend where politicians are avoiding situations, like these debates, where their comments and claims are questioned, where their policy ideas are subjected to tests of validity?
Since Sara Palin's coining of the phrase "gotcha journalism", in response to Charlie Gibson's question about the Bush doctrine and Katie Couric's, "What magazines do you read?", it has become a term used by many politicians to describe any pointed questions aimed at clarifying their claims, comments or policy ideas their campaigns put forth.
The trend was quite evident during the 2010 midterm election season. Sharron Angle's non-conservative press avoidance was obvious during here Nevada Senate run with video of here hastily eluding a reporter in a parking lot after a speech and implying she'll perform interviews after she's elected. Christine O'Donnell and Rand Paul canceled interview appearances after publicized missteps. Senator Russ Feingold and his opponent Ron Johnson kept their appearance schedules from local newspapers and Representative Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania avoided holding town hall meetings. Gubernatorial races were not immune either with Rick Perry refusing to debate his opponent and Jan Brewer of Arizona who canceled additional debates after a poor performance.
This summer's congressional recesses saw the trend continued with numerous candidates avoiding in-person town halls opting instead for conference calls and controlled appearances.
Expressing his frustration with a perceived media bias recently, Newt Gingrich chastised the moderator during the MSNBC primary debate for sowing the seeds of divisiveness among the GOP candidates by asking them to comment on the similarities between Mitt Romney's Massachusetts' health care law and the Affordable Care Act. From the exchange it appeared Gingrich was essentially accusing the moderator for inciting debate...during a debate. He claimed comparative criticism between "Romneycare" and "Obamacare" was not a valid topic for the event even though it was mentioned in numerous campaign speeches leading up to the debate.
Joe Biden was also caught up in this when he was faced with unexpected questions about his comments pertaining to increases in crime during poor economic times. In the heated exchange Biden display irritation at the reporter's direct questioning even stating, "Don't screw around with me. Let's get it straight.". In the end, Politifact found the Vice President's claim that murder and rape would increase if police were laid off in Flint, Michigan was Half True.
Where does this leave the average voter?
In the end if politicians choose to avoid situations where their policy ideas are subjected to serious assessment, where their claims are held to account and where their abilities to debate can be evaluated are they not performing a disservice to the American voting public? Isn't it in the best interest of the country to determine the viability of politicians' policies and plans before they are elected into office? And is it not a benefit to the average voter to gauge a candidate's ability to function throughout the debate process? Because if a candidate cannot sustain themselves through multiple debates then what would convince prospective voters they are capable of effectively handling the rigors of the Office of the President?
I don't see any journalists nailing him on this or the other candidates getting up in his his face for the real reasons he is "dropping out" of the debates but to drop him off the face of the election 2012, it is malpractice if someone doesn' expose these facts over and over again.
We know "our" Perry and he is NOT presidential material. He has been a lousy over-partisan governor too!
From McKinney, Texas
I agree Perry may have been tossing around that Fox only campaign strategy like Palin did or at least stick with supporter-only appearances. But I did just see an article on CNN that said he's going to continue with the debates but he "won't like it."
And it is surprising that Gingrich is still hanging in there. I suppose the poor media coverage keeps any mistakes out of the spotlight. It also seems to working for Ron Paul too. Very little media focus and he still has a strong showing in the polls.
Thanks for the first-hand, local experience with Perry. I was pretty surprised while researching this post that he actually refused to debate. And it's crazy that the electorate didn't demand anything.
I think the lack of journalists pushing issues like this is related to what I was getting at here. Just like politicians are avoiding the media the media is also in many ways walking on eggshells when interviewing them. They seem to be wary of pushing them too hard for fear they will not accept subsequent interviews.
In the end it's the American voting public and the country loses out.
Ultimately, I think it is hard to get elected without attracting enough attention to flush out stupid or half-baked ideas.

Reviewed Gyro Meat with Tzatziki Sauce
Nov 21, 2010 in Food Network Community Toolbox on Food Network
"I was concerned about trying gyros at home because both the taste and the texture need to be right. This recipe was spot on. The lamb tasted like I had bought it at the local Greek deli. The only change I made in the recipe was the yogurt, and I did purchase Greek yogurt rather than waiting on the regular yogurt to thicken. This is definitely worth..."

American backs up boasts
A year ago, Jordan Burroughs changed his Twitter handle to (at)alliseeisgold.
On Thursday, Burroughs promised to tweet a picture of himself holding the Olympic gold medal. He delivered on Friday night — on the mat and on Twitter.
The boastful 24-year-old American backed up all his talk, beating Iran's Sadegh Saeed Goudarzi 1-0, 1-0 in the men's freestyle 74-kilogram division to give the U.S. its first wrestling gold medal at the London Games.
"A lot of people call it cocky, people call it overconfident," Burroughs said. "But I knew I was going to win."
Burroughs beat Denis Tsargush of Russia in a tight semifinal, then got past Goudarzi in a rematch of their world-championship bout in 2011.
Burroughs, who grew up in New Jersey, has won 38 straight international freestyle matches and is the first Olympian to claim the $250,000 prize from the Living the Dream Medal Fund, a program designed to support U.S. wrestling.
Women's boxing
Great reviews from first year
Women's boxing was a big hit in its first Olympics. It could get even bigger in Rio.
The debut tournament got rave reviews from fans, boxers and Olympic officials who loved the sold-out crowds, evenly matched bouts and the emergence of stars on the international stage, including U.S. teenager Claressa Shields, Ireland's Katie Taylor and Britain's Nicola Adams.
IOC President Jacques Rogge says he's thrilled the competition removed any doubt of the sport's Olympic worthiness. AIBA President Wu Ching-Kuo is determined to at least double the Olympic field for the 2016 Games in Brazil.
And Taylor can't wait to see what happens over the next four years after these four days of history in the London ring.
"Hopefully there are a lot of young girls sitting at home watching this, and they will realize this is what they can work towards," said Taylor, who won gold in the lightweight final. "This is amazing for women's boxing."
BMX racing
Strombergs wins another gold
Maris Strombergs of Latvia won gold in 2008. Now he has two.
Strombergs defended his BMX title over a harrowing course in Olympic Park, taking the lead at the start and never relinquishing it. He cruised across the finish line in 37.576 seconds to add to the title he won in Beijing, when the sport made its Olympic debut.
"It's just amazing," Strombergs said. "I think everyone at home, they watched the race, and deep inside they were hoping I could repeat, and I think my country believed in me."
Former world champion Mariana Pajon won the women's BMX competition, giving Colombia its first gold at the London Games.
With David Beckham watching from the stands, Pajon hit form at the right time.
Tunisian makes history
Ous Mellouli of Tunisia won the grueling 10-kilometer race to become the first swimmer to win medals in the pool and open water at the same Olympics.
Mellouli pulled away from a small group of leaders in the fifth of six laps and finished in 1 hour, 49 minutes, 55.1 seconds in the murky waters of the Serpentine in Hyde Park. He also won bronze in the 1,500-meter freestyle last week.

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.

Sorry, but I can't help but believe that there is some, perhaps a lot, of complicity by some agents within the US government. We know that the CIA has been a prolific drug runner in the past, and there's no reason to suspect that they've given up on this.
Having personally been at most of the border crossings in Central America, I can assure you that it's not like there are vast amounts of traffic moving between these countries. Cocaine is grown in a relatively small region, it exits through a small number of ports, gets into Mexico through a small number of ports. I believe that there are more government resources involved in protecting the shipments than in interdicting them.
Noriega is just one former CIA drug runner. There are more. It's the perfect racket for the CIA: it's a steady source of capital to fund covert operations, it gets them access to a shady underworld of networks, and it gives them the perfect means of blackmailing any people in positions of power who get involved. The CIA would be foolish to NOT be involved in this racket.
The political impossibility is a chimera; it is the federal government that has pushed drug legalization since back in the early days. There has NEVER been a substantial grass-roots call for increased legislation restricting drug use. It's been a top-down phenomenon from the beginning.
Nowadays, the local cops are particularly enthusiastic for it. One can't blame them. Federal anti-drug funds provide substantial money for local police departments. SWAT Teams, once justified for unusual problems such as hostage situations, are almost exclusively used for drug enforcement these days. They are effectively paid to keep the street value of drugs as high as possible. It's no wonder most SWAT teams are downright useless when situations for which they were originally justified turn up; they train almost exclusively to raid drug dealers, not hostage takers.
The permissive attitude towards the southern border is not due to concerns about negatively harming legitimate trade. Slightly increasing the cost of legitimate goods crossing the border is not going to result in a loss of Mexican markets to overseas competitors: Mexico's ports are so poor that the costs of moving product through them will continue to give land-based US exporters an advantage for some time to come.
As to the flow of people, the elite in this country are too enthralled by the prospect of having their own domestic help and low cost landscaping. It's not addressed as a problem because the only people who have a problem with it are America's lower and middle classes.
Your point about the strong demand for drugs and how this effects things are completely salient and relevant. Much of the rest, including the political dynamics, is questionable.

Deft, wonderfully sly, and fraught with an ironic undertone, Travis Hugh Culley's The Immortal Class: Bike Messengers and the Cult of Human Power is the story of a generation Xer trying to survive as an artist in urban America. Embracing the advice of his childhood heroin-addict neighbor who advised, "You can follow your bliss whoever you are. In a true democracy you can be low and noble--and no one can judge you for it," Culley soon discovers that part-time work in galleries just doesn't pay the rent. Over a ninety-nine cent meatball sub, he pours through the want ads and finds a job as a messenger.
As a bike messenger, Culley finds himself part of a cult that gets things done--that gets urgent papers to folks in time--that, despite weather and the physical brutality of it all, makes sure people have the things that get them through the day smoothly. It's a juxtaposition of extremes. One month Culley possesses only thirty-two dollars and owes two months back rent and the next he's earning stacks of cash a day. It's a job where, all in one day, he sees urban poverty at the rawest level as he maneuvers the streets, and later in that same day delivers paperwork to a mover and shaker at a top corporation. It is in this melee that Culley finds, not just his artistic voice, but also his political voice. In this issue of Bold Type, read an excerpt from The Immortal Class and see what the author has to say about messengering and art in an exclusive Bold Type author interview. --Cara Hall |

The Anjuman-e-Najmi that represents Burhani Foundation (India) celebrates its spiritual head's birthday in a unique way. Members distribute bird feeders to people in an effort to lure sparrows back into their lives
When was the last time you spotted a sparrow, from your balcony? Once they were everywhere. However, in the last few decades, the sparrow population has reduced by nearly half. Lack of nesting and breeding sites (deforestation of native trees and nurturing of exotic trees and manicured lawns in their place), pollution, presence of mobile towers, lack of insect food and use of unhealthy pesticides are some of the important reasons for the sparrow's decline.
Alarm bells
These birds, being an indicator of environmental health, need to be saved before they can be seen only in books or on the internet.
Alarmed by their decline, a lot of organizations are taking up efforts to coax sparrows back into their backyards.
In an effort to boost the sparrow population in the country, the Burhani Foundation (India) set out to distribute bird feeders across India, last Sunday. This was as part of their spiritual head's 100th Milad Mubarak (birthday) celebrations. Project SOS (Save Our Sparrows) is the first of its kind attempt to distribute bird feeders in the country. This organization has been advocating environmental awareness and research around the world, for the past 20 years. The foundation has also been involved in other significant projects like vermiculture and organic farming.
An all India affair
In nearly 260 cities and townships across the country - in states such as Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, free bird feeders and installation manuals were distributed to individuals, schools and various institutes.
In Coimbatore, Anjuman-e-Najmi took up this noble task of distributing feeders, in the presence of G.Ramamoorthy, Asst. Commissioner of Police, Nagarajan, Village Administrative Officer and Sheikh Shabbir Rangoonwaala, President, Anjuman-e-Najmi. Around 300 bird feeders were distributed during this event (inclusive of those distributed to people in Kochi, Kozhikode and Erode). A bird feeder is a specially designed device that is placed outdoors to supply food for wild birds. To help attract sparrows, the manual suggests that the user fill the feeder with bajra, ragi and broken rice. Other details such as hygiene, maintenance and installation processes were screened in the form of a presentation.
For the records
At the end of the day, approximately 52,000 bird feeders were distributed across the country. Data from all corners of the country were compiled for submission to the headquarters of Guinness World Records, in an attempt to set a record for distributing the maximum number of bird feeders in the world.

Business Students Win Trip to China
By Alex Costello,
Li Herald
For many years, Molloy College's Division of Business hosted a trip to China for its first-year students. But for the first time, the business department held an essay contest about business ethics, the winners of which had their trip to China paid for by a scholarship. Gareth Moore and Patrick Lisante, both first-year students in Molloy's Business Honors program, won first and second place in the essay contest, respectively.
The essays were on one of two topics: addressing the question of social responsibility or a definition of what is the "right" thing to do in business.
"The reason we do ethics is because our position as the only Catholic college within the county of Nassau is something we take very seriously," said Stephen Bier, the dean of the division of business. "And we think ethics, just in general, is something that needs to be emphasized, with the scandals and fraud we've seen permeating the business headlines." Read more.

National briefs: Feb. 8
Estranged wife wounded at school
PORTSMOUTH — A man charged into a school Thursday where his estranged wife was a teacher, firing a gun before stabbing her as her fifth-grade class watched, police said. He later was found dead in his home after apparently shooting himself during a standoff with police.
The teacher, Christi Layne, was in critical condition at a hospital in Huntington, W.Va., a hospital spokeswoman said.
Police originally said William Michael Layne shot his wife at Notre Dame Elementary, but Chief Charles Horner said it was unclear whether a gunshot hit her.
Minutes before she was stabbed, police say her husband stabbed and wounded a different woman in an alley about five blocks from the school. Stephanie Loop, 22, was also in critical condition.
Christi Layne had filed for divorce Jan. 25.
Former beauty queen released after arrest
LAS VEGAS — A former beauty queen who was stripped of her tiara after racy photos of her appeared on the Internet has been freed from jail following her arrest on traffic offenses.
Katherine N. "Katie" Rees, 23, a former Miss Nevada USA, was held for about 12 hours at the Clark County jail after police said she was stopped while driving about 3 a.m. Wednesday and became physically aggressive toward a police officer.
Mario Torres, Rees' lawyer in Tampa, Fla., denied that Rees was aggressive, and said she chipped or lost a tooth when she was forcefully pushed against her vehicle.
"Based on the information I've received, the officer was very aggressive with her," Torres said.
Rees was charged with speeding, driving with a suspended license, operating a motor vehicle with suspended license plates, failure to produce proof of insurance and resisting a police officer, police said. She was released without bail and is due to appear in Las Vegas Justice Court on March 8.
Woman pleads guilty to hate crime, assault
CHARLESTON — A white woman pleaded guilty to a hate crime and other charges Thursday in the kidnapping and torture of a black woman who authorities say was held captive for days last summer.
Authorities say Karen Burton's crimes include stabbing Megan Williams in the ankle while saying, "This is what we do to n------ down here." She is the third in a group of seven people to plead guilty in the case, and the only one charged with a hate crime.
Burton, 46, of Chapmanville, pleaded guilty in Logan County Circuit Court to malicious wounding, assault and violating Williams' civil rights, said her lawyer, Betty Gregory. Burton faces up to 30 years in prison at sentencing, set March 3.
Prosecutors say Williams, 20, was held captive at a trailer in the Big Creek area. She said she was forced to eat animal feces, sexually assaulted and stabbed. She was rescued Sept. 8 after a caller alerted deputies.
2 Komodo dragons hatch at Wichita zoo
WICHITA — Two Komodo dragons have hatched at the Sedgwick County Zoo, apparently without the fertilization of a male.
The dragons, both males, are believed to be the first in North America to have hatched by parthenogenesis, which occurs naturally in some species, including invertebrates and lower plants. It happens more rarely in some vertebrates.
The zoo is having DNA testing done to document the mother's and babies' genetic structure because of the chance that a male's sperm was stored on the female's body. Komodo dragons, which are endangered, can live 20 to 40 years.
Sugar refinery blast injures dozens
PORT WENTWORTH — An explosion and fire at a sprawling sugar refinery rattled this Savannah suburb Thursday night, severely injuring dozens of people and sending authorities into a nearby river to search for possible victims, officials said.
No deaths were immediately reported and there was no word on what caused the blast at the Imperial Sugar factory, which occurred in an area known as the "bagging plant," officials said. Authorities still searched for victims more than two hours later.
Sgt. Mike Wilson, spokesman for the Savannah- Chatham County police, reported an unconfirmed number of injuries, "well over 50 to 100 at this point."
Dr. Jay Goldstein of Memorial University Medical Center said 30 to 35 patients were being treated, all in critical condition.
Gunman kills five at council meeting
ST. LOUIS — A gunman stormed a city council meeting Thursday night, killing two police officers and three other people before law enforcers fatally shot him, authorities said. The man's gunfire injured the mayor, a newspaper reported.
The victims at the meeting in suburban St. Louis were killed after the gunman rushed the council chambers and began firing as he yelled "Shoot the mayor," according to St. Louis County Police spokeswoman Tracy Panus.
Janet McNichols, a reporter covering the meeting for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, said that Mayor Mike Swoboda was wounded. Public Works Director Kenneth Yost was shot in the head, she said, and council members Michael H.T. Lynch and Connie Karr also were hit.
She identified the gunman as Charles Lee Thornton.

Hi all,
I had my first go at compiling Aliki today. I *did* compile the required
libraries by Fons (libclthreads, libclalsadrv, libclxclient) and decided
to stick with the default libsndfile and lifftw3f. The libraries as well
as Aliki itself seemed to compile without any problems.However, I get an libclxclient-related error message when running aliki:
aliki: error while loading shared libraries: libclxclient.so.3: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directoryThe object file *is* actually present in /usr/local/lib - here is an
excerpt of an ls -lh on that directory:

/usr/local/bin and no matter whether I run it as root or non-root.Any ideas?
