… That's the mostly likely explanation for this — that Sullivan got mad about Joe Biden's health records and then took out his crayons and scribbled this new cover, which the publishers just assumed was artistic because Sullivan is gay. This is unreadable and very communist-looking. A cursory glance suggests that this issue is about how women and blogs are coming to kill us, but we knew that already. [Marc Ambinder]

Sean O Is the Atlantic really sure it wants to question/promote a female-centric political system when Caribou Barbie and known sociopath Hillary Clinton are our options?

CankleBiter Brevity Bitches!
Thegreatbacon The only think that offends me is the 1960s Pan-Am advertisement font for the magazine's title. All I can imagine below that title are a couple of eager stewardesses smoking Lucky Strikes as they pour you a martini in first class. Is that the impression you want to give Atlantic Monthly? Is this a gay sensibility, along the lines of camp?
dcgrrl Are there too few editors left in the publishing business?
tunamelt [re=122801]CankleBiter[/re]: It is, in fact, the soul of wit.
tunamelt [re=122803]Thegreatbacon[/re]: It is a tie-in with Mad Men?
WoundedVeteran Should women rule the world? Sully, if you weren't such a faggot you would know, they already do. Pussy is better than any coin in any realm. You and George Bush proffer pretend pussy, and truthfully, it's not kissable and smells a whole lot worse, has a beard stubble or is brown. I guarantee you, given a choice between, say a senate vote or a board of directors meeting, every three legged politico, banker, whatever would rather dip his wick than do his job. And will blogs replace writing, absolutely, so kiss your fairy tale brown eye balls hangin love stories adios. I look forward to being able to call a fag a fag, not the real ones, just the ones that lie about it and put people down for their sexuality, up front, or the back door.
Thegreatbacon [re=122815]tunamelt[/re]: That would explain the "work mash up" in the style of a sixties art project.
Strappo I for one love it. It's sort of Soviet retro chic.
And while we're at it, could you fucksticks lay off the gay thing a little? I'm beginning to feel as persecuted as if I'd walked into an Assembly of God whichamacallit.

sike101 Please don't post about Sullivan without the picture of him wearing his fart smelling apparatus.
That is all.
SayItWithWookies This is their Halloween cover, right? The colors are appropriate, and I figure they're just trying to scare people. This frightens most Americans right off, 'cause they've never seen so many words all in one place. Then anyone with any sense of composition is thrown into paroxysms of fear by the juxtaposition of the quaint "Atlantic" and black sidebar with the oodles of garish crap on the right. What small remainder there is sees "women" and "blogs" and runs away screaming.
S. Cullen Bonz Sullivan shouldn't write while wearing his Ipod with "Tears for Fears" playing.
PunkysPal I've been a graphic designer for 30+ yrs. I think I know what he was trying to do here. I don't think it works though.
It's unreadable so it doesn't communicate the information well. This is the anthesis of what it should do. Be creative, but there's something to be said for the 'form follows function' school of thought!
Lascauxcaveman [re=122841]Strappo[/re]: Ah shuttup, homo.
Ooops, what I meant to say was, I'm pretty sure that's just (hetero) Jim's awkward way of making a "gays are good at artistic stuff like graphic design and whatnot" type of stereotype joke thingee. Honestly, don't be so sensitive, I swear sometimes you gay guys are as emotional as chicks… (Oops. Again!)
But I actually kinda like the new Atlantic cover too. It reminds me of the design on some of my old jazz and R&B vinyl from the 50's. Some of then might even be on the Atlantic label; come to think of it.
edgydrifter [re=122884]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Can we, as a nation, go back to bagging on the French? I miss being offended and outraged by everything all the time constantly.

It really is offensive. In so many, many ways, Andrew Sullivan just is not gay. I would love to see Chip Kidd give Andrew the what-for for that mess.

I Had Two Ripe Figs of this cultivar-Today September 09 2006.
Me and My wife had a shocking Surprise as of How good this fig was tasting. This fig was a cutting from UCR DAvis California.I Rooted it in Spring 2005,from cuttings received in January 2005. In the "Ira Condit HILGARDIA" the fig is described as with an large open eye ,subjiect to insect infestation,and splitting. It is also described as having an insipid taste. But In Robert Hog "1887-FIGS IN ENGLAND"it is described corectly exactly as it is and his remarks are:It is one of the most delicious fig in cultivation. And That is why i ordered it.And Now I want to do Justice to this wonderfull fig. It is so good that thow i had tasted about 30 varieties of figs till now ,not one was better than COL DE DAME. And it has the potential to get even better because these two fruits were getting ripe Last 10 days out of wich about five was raining and three were cloudy.
Follow-Up Postings:
Herman do you know the UC Davis Accession ID #. Please post this information. Thanks Ed |
And another information in HILGARDIA That makes me Laugh:On the island of Majorca (Spain)This fig was used for Hog and Cattle feed. I wonder how good figs for human feed tasted. I really doubt it was used for animal feed ,what i think is there was a green fig look alike that was used for animal feed on the island of Majorca Spain. Because if it is used that way in Spain i want to go there and act and eat like a pig maby they will trow me some of those fig to eat.I can even screem like a pig if i will be sure i get some of that good stuff!!!!!!!!!!Peace to you all. |
I SEE a rush for this one!.... Herman, today is my birthday (getting old...); as a present, please reserve one FUTURE tiny twig for me; if else fails... George (NJ). |
Dear Herman, You can go to Mallorca, but no one will throw a Col de Dame to you. No chance at all, considered, as I stated to you in another subject, as the best late season fig ever... I am curious about your weather.. Could you please give me an explanation about your climate conditions ? For me, Spring arrived at the beginning of June (20-27°C), we had a heat wave in July (35°C), then August looked like october (7°C to 17°C), September is always nice with temps ranging from 15°C to 25°C, mid October it's already autumn (10°C to 15°C) and then until Christmas little frost, and then snow, strong North winds until 15 April with temps between -16°C to 5°C and then average cold end of April till beg. of June (2°C to 10°C). My weather is very often cloudy, rainy, awful. This means that the figs I grow and if they succeed are quite exceptionnal for the weather conditions.... (I plant them to the ground). Of course a Col De Dame would be a dream come true, if not so late and if not needing to have so much sun... So I am curious about your weather conditions, so to understand better... Regards, Etneo |
Well Etneo,Springs are much hoter than in your place but imprevisibille as to have a frost till 1st of May.Yet you can have 25 C hot in March. Sommer are much hoter than in your place up to 40C,with High humidity. Fall are usually warm till end of Nov,but danger of frost can be on 25 of Oct.If not Is warm till Dec.with 25C,close to mid DEc.Havy rains are distributed all year long up to 15 cm.each month or more.The whether can change in one day from sun to rain ,to snow and back to sun in the same day.Very variable whether,here in New Jersey.Last year it was no frost till Dec.Regards |
I got CdD from UCD this year. They all rooted nicely, but I think one of them is among the three that suffered ant damage to the bark/trunk, but that is a different subject. Now I'm really looking forward to getting figs from this one next year. Thanks for the update, Herman. Happy belated birthday, George! ~james p.s. I don't know if what's going on with the UCD website, but this is the last link I have for CdD (DFIC 074) |
Here is a link that might be useful: DFIC 074

How do you go about ordering cuttings from UC Davis? I am having trouble finding the information on their site and am hoping that fig forum members can tell me. I am trying to find out what the charges are. Thank you, 3jsmom31 |
Dear Herman, Is this cultivar reasonably hardy? Any breba? Looks nice! I just placed my first order on-line for this variety. Sincerely, Palmfan [Jim] |
3j's mom Follow the link, click on the varieties you are interested in, check availability. If the cultivar is available, you can order directly from that page. |
Here is a link that might be useful: UC Davis
Well Jim I do not know if it is hardy or not .As you know ,no fig is hardy in zone 6 without protection.The little plant was in my Garage over the winter.I do not recomend this variety to beginers,or people not willing to do what it takes to protect it in the winter.?????All i was stating was that it taste very good and,not that is hardy or easy to grow. |
- Posted by fortisi876 Z6NJ (My Page) on Sun, Sep 10, 06 at 23:30
Herman, Like gorgi the 9th was also my birthday so if you have a second spare twig to spare lemme know!!! Ya know us NJ folk need to stick together! ;>) Ciao! |
Sorry i do not have any cuttings.It is too small to start chopping it in pieces.Next year maybe!!!! |
Herman, I looked at the UCD website, and can't find the "white" variety for the Col de Dame? Do you have the exact ID? Just didn't want to waste time with the wrong variety. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/display.pl?1002178 http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_site_acc.pl?DAV Ficus carica |
Well, UCDAVIS only has White Col de dame.There are two more,Black and gray,and they suppose to be just as good.So i mentioned White because it is the white col de Dame,what they have. |
Hello Everybody, Here some info from French litterature, friends and other. 1) Col De Dame is hardy to zone 8. Bye, Etneo |
Yes-fortisi876, For us NJ fig people; I came to the conclusion that it is more of a SHARING thing (rather than a 1-to-1 trading issue)... Regards, George(NJ). |
The UC Davis number I found is: DFIC0074 Col de Dame Vin (NJ) |
- Posted by leon_edmond z7NM (My Page) on Wed, Sep 13, 06 at 0:22
I finally had the opportunity to taste several Col de Dame Gris figs in the past several weeks. It is an excellent fig in flavor and sweetness. Apart from the skin color, it is identical to Col de Dame Noir. I obtained my Col de Dame Gris from a french source. This next season, I will need to airlayer some new starts since my potted tree somehow acquired some nematodes. I'm not sure if UCD carries this particular cultivar. |
- Posted by salvatoretodd (My Page) on Sun, Oct 1, 06 at 20:35
I believe this is the one in Sicily is called Catalanisca or Catalana and is famous for being very good (all of them) but beside the size of the tree it seems that requires a lot of heat and is one of the last to ripen. When did it ripen in New Jersey ? are you in land or close to the coast? Ciao Sal |

"Very Satisfied

Lakeland Cling Roll 30cm x 150m
I bought two packs of your multi-purpose cling film a few months ago, for my wife. I was fed up with continually
having to uncling the cheaper brands. This cling film is a pleasure to use.The 150 metre roll unrolled without once causing a problem. It tears well and is I think slightly thicker or maybe a touch stronger than other brands..I am just about to order two more rolls. To sum up great product, would recommend it.

"Does what it says on the pack!
" by Alison
Lakeland Cling Roll 30cm x 150m
It really clings! Unlike a lot of other "cling" films I've tried, this one actually sticks. It stays put in the microwave, on sandwiches, over plated food, and everything else I've ever wanted it to stick to.
I won't use anything else these days, although it is a bit of a pain getting it, as we don't have a Lakeland in our town- my nearest branch is 30 miles away, so I stock up on it whenever I go there!

Lil B, the Berkeley, Calif.-born rapper who released the surprise hit "Vans" while part of hip hop group the Pack in 2006 and has won solo stardom through MySpace hits like "Wonton Soup," just dropped a new album, and it's won us over at BlogPost in more ways than one.
Post music critic Chris Richards interviewed Lil B just before his concert in the District last October, writing that despite his need to hyper-share, Lil B "manages to imbue his music with a sense of intimacy, tempering oddball boasts with warmth and enthusiasm."
Lil B released his enthusiastic new album "I'm Gay (I'm Happy)" on iTunes yesterday. Here's why we love it:
1. His message
Lil B, who is heterosexual, chose the title "I'm Gay" for his album to send a message. Lil B told CNN:
I hope that I can turn some of my fans that might be homophobic or supporters that might be homophobic and say, "You know what, we're all one people. This is love." It's just respect, and I did that to bring people together and bring more love and to spark the minds of people and not let words and judgments and stereotypes stop you from loving.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation told XXL magazine, "As a lyricist, Lil B knows that words matter. Slurs have the power to fuel intolerance. We hope that Lil B's album title is not just a gimmick, and is really a sincere attempt to be an ally. He has the platform and the voice. We hope he uses it in a positive way."
2. The album cover
The cover art of the album is an homage to Marvin Gaye's song "I Want You," featuring Ernie Barnes's painting "Sugar Shack," which the Awl points out was also featured in the opening credits of the TV Show "Good Times."
Of course, Lil B isn't the first to resurrect Gaye . Kanye West just got a hit out of a song entitled "Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay," but we like anyone who likes Gaye.
3. He did it on his own
Music blog Complex writes: "Lil B just did the unthinkable and released his debut retail album "I'm Gay" on his own, out of nowhere."
Brendan Frederick, an editor for Complex, tweeted:
Lil B released his retail album without it leaking. After over a decade of trying, no major record label has figured out how to do this.
4. And....the music
The three tracks we've heard have affirmed that Lil B could, indeed, fit into the genre of hipster rap, but that doesn't mean we don't like it. Unfortunately, the tracks are all expletive-laden, so we can't embed them below. But we leave you with these lyrics from his track "I Hate Myself":
"I'm ready to give up my old thoughts/I'ma move past what a saw/I'ma do what a want and be happy/I'm not gonna rob or kill to survive/Everything I seen was a lie/I'm not ready to die/I love myself..."

Rich, this is somewhat out of left field from your usual work!:)) After reading the poem I was quite touched and wondered who wrote it. I then decided it did not matter because the message was timeless, thanks Rich, it's awesome!!!!
Thank you Donuts, Lizzy, Wayne, Project M and Roger. : ) @Donuts & Project M...I did not write this, I did find it however. Found this just recently digging through some of my old photos and this was found with some other similar letters. It is exactly what the title says also. This was from my ex girlfriend from some years back. To be honest, it made me smile when i found it and read it. It was a real love but now it is a relic, a memory to share and I hope it can make others smile. It is a bit hard to read as far as legibility but once you get through it, it is very sweet. I did edit the texture and color a bit to give it a much older look.....Thank you very much again everyone for the compliments : )
Between this one and the dog at sunset, you're really pulling at our hearts! That's what art is supposed to do!

I don't have experience with these two but from what I can gather: MA could take months, I thought I've heard up to 6.
RI-don't know, AFAIK they're restrictive and you'll have to have a special "need" to get the permit. Probably would take a while if you do manage to get it!
"The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree..."
Nunn v. State GA 1848
Best check on your own. IF I recall correctly, MA non-res permits are only good for one year and RI permits require a notarized and backed up statement of need if applying for self defense. But again, best to check their sites for the latest information. AFAIK, MA and RI require that you have THEIR permit as they do not recognize those of other states. Try handgunlaw.us and look up both the state site and the list of non-res permit states in the sidebar.
Good luck

How long will it take for hell to freeze over???
I think you will be more likely to get a non-res permit from RI than MA, but no idea how long it will take to get an answer. Good lucj in both pursuits, and please post your results when you learn something.

MaineGlock I'm originally from RI I was born in providence and raised there but also lived in MA for while before moving to Florida. I can tell you in my experience that the MA resident CCW was hard to get at that time. While I've never held an RI CCW they are no to bad to get once you fill out the paper work correctly and show need.
For the record I don't agree with having to show "a need' to exercise a right,but that another topic for another thread. The thing is when applying in RI be completely honest when answering the questions on the application,no matter how small something may seem to you. This is were a lot of people who get denied an RI CCW go wrong they fail to disclose something or they lie outright on the forms,then the process get blackballed as being tough.
The issuance of a CCW in RI for non residents is up to the state A.G. now in the past it been really tough to relatively easy depending on the A.G. in office at the time. The current on and his BCI chief are supposed to be reasonable with permit issuance.
The link below is a forum specific to RI carry permits and gun laws in general,and a lot of people there have had success getting their carry permits. Also there is a man named Jim on there he is very knowledgeable and friendly,register there and drop him a PM he know a lot about the permit application process in RI,I'm sure he can help you. I hope this helps you out and keep us posted on the outcome.

Snub nose revolvers,the original concealed carry guns.
ma Non-Res Class A or B permits take up to 6 months to get, then you'll start the re-newal process in about 3 months after you recieve your first LTC ....100.00 per year........
Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll
From other reports on Northeastshooters.com, the MA process changed sometime last year. They require a FTF interview in Chelsea MA. MANY are being issued as a restricted (NO Carry allowed) LTC, which IMNSHO makes them a waste of money and useless for most folks. After the interview I am reading that it is taking ~1 month to get the permit.
RI (unless something changed in past couple of months) is still routinely denying for "insufficient need". They require that you do a FTF to pick it up if they decide to issue you one.
Thanks for the good words Bob.
I hope to get up your way this Fall. I'll give you a shout if I'll be there.
Thanks again.
I have talked to the folks doing my training, and some of the resident permit holders. My "need" is based on the fact that my wife is from RI and we will be visiting more frequently when baby comes. She is a Psychiatrist that has turned away many drug seekers and treats violent patients. This would be a proactive measure in the event someone decides to stalk/harm her since her patients hail from all over New England. She cant tell me more than that due to HIPPA. So the folks doing the training and other permit holders have said that my request is very reasonable. I hope that MA accepts this as my "need".

So, your first year that you could have a permit breaks down to this. You are approved but cant carry for six months because you don't have the permit in hand. Then the second six months you can, in that time, you have to apply for your new permit three months later. So the $100 covers the first 6 months you can carry, then you pay $100 again. Yea, that would be why they are called "Mass-holes".

I have a friend that has to start to process about 90 day before his permit runs out.
The process is lengthly to say the least. You must do a initial FTF interview (first issue of LTC) with the Ma State Police in Chelsea Ma,,,(they don't make it easy for you) It may be true however, that if you have documented proof that you'r LTC is in process, you may be able to carry after your current LTC has expired, but I'm not willing to bet my money on it.
Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll
No you can't. The section of law that allows for a grace period is only in the section under Resident permits. They either forgot or intended to treat NRs differently. We don't know why, but we do know that legally you can't carry or possess unless your LTC is active in MA as a NR.
BTW: Same situation in NH . . . one of my renewals took more than 1 month and I called NH SP and was told "no current permit means no CCW!!"
I submitted application in mid November, got my interview on Feb. 2 and finally got my permit on April 29. Did not get the permit I was looking for, but got a Sporting restrictions permit. There is absolutely nothing in my background that warranted any extra wait time or restrictions, so I don't know what the deal was.
I read on Northeast Shooters forum where plenty of people got their permits before I did, even though they didn't put in the application until after the first of the year.
Good luck with your application!

Ethical Trading Initiative
This article does not cite any references or sources. (August 2010) |
The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is an alliance of companies, trade unions and voluntary organisations working in partnership to improve the working lives of people across the globe who make or grow consumer goods.
Established in 1998 with the backing of the Department for International Development (DFID), ETI now has over 70 member companies with a combined turnover of over £107 bn. Trade union members represent nearly 160 million workers around the world in every country where free trade unions can operate. NGO members range from large international development charities such as Oxfam and CAFOD, to specialised labour rights organisations such as Anti-Slavery International.
Companies that join ETI must adopt the ETI Base Code in full. The ETI Base Code is derived from the standards of the International Labour Organisation, and is an internationally recognised code of labour practice. They must also sign up to ETI's Principles of Implementation, which set out the approaches to ethical trade that member companies should follow.
Member companies must also play an active part in ETI activities alongside their trade union and NGO colleagues, including in members' meetings, supply chain programmes and working groups.
In 2010, ETI member companies' ethical trade activities covered over 9.8 million workers around the world. They requested that their suppliers take over 133,000 separate actions to improve workers' conditions. These numbers are growing every year.
An independent assessment of ETI members' ethical trade activities carried out by Sussex-based Institute of Development Studies found that improvements have been made in health and safety, reducing child labour, increasing wages and reducing the incidence of excessive overtime.[1]
Yet conditions for many workers remain poor. Researchers found that fundamental principles, such as workers' rights to join a trade union and negotiate collectively, are not being sufficiently addressed. There has been little progress in other areas - for example, discrimination and harassment. Casual and informal sector workers are still receiving scant benefit from codes of labour practice. And global food and fuel inflation means that real wages are declining at an alarming rate in many countries.
ETI training courses support both member and non-member companies who want to build their ethical trade capacity.
In the mid 1990s, several well-orchestrated trade union and NGO campaigns and media exposes highlighted the exploitation of people making clothes, shoes and other products for major global brands and retailers. In response, the companies started to adopt codes of labour practice governing the working conditions of the people in their supply chains.
But codes were widely criticised for lacking credibility. Often they were developed unilaterally, so seen as attempts by companies to dictate the agenda of workers' rights. Some did not recognise all the labour standards developed by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). And although companies started to invest in 'monitoring' programmes, aimed at checking supplier workplaces for compliance with their codes, these were criticised as piecemeal and lacking credibility, as they were usually paid for by the companies.
In 1997, a group of companies, trade unions and NGOs began a discussion about how codes could be made effective. They identified the need for a body that would establish consistent standards and guidance for ethical trade, which would combine the authority and expertise of the trade union and campaign movement with the practical know-how and buying leverage of big business. A radical new approach to protecting workers' rights
In 1998, a group of UK companies, NGOs and trade union organisations, with the backing of the then Secretary of State for International Development Clare Short, launched a radical approach to protecting workers' rights in global supply chains. Their aim was to build an alliance of organisations that would work together to define how major companies should implement their codes of labour practice in a credible way - and most importantly, in a way that has maximum impact on workers.
The companies that joined ETI in 1998 were ASDA, Premier Brands, The Body Shop, Littlewoods and Sainsbury's.

'People need dramatic examples. . . . As a man I'm flesh and blood. I can be ignored. I can be destroyed. But as a symbol, I can be incorruptible. I can be everlasting." That's a line spoken by Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, the first film in the trilogy that concluded last year with the release of The Dark Knight Rises. In the past year, symbolic presentations of good and evil ruled at the box office. The list of 2012's top-grossing films leads off with The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Hunger Games; and The Hobbit, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Brave are all in the top ten. That is not surprising; fantasy films of various sorts have dominated the box office for the last decade. What is surprising is that there is less of a gap than in many years between these highest-grossing films and the group of films nominated for Best Picture in the Oscars. Six of the nine nominees have grossed at least $100 million in domestic box office. And, strikingly and perhaps not merely coincidentally, they feature credible stories of heroic struggles against daunting odds and in the face of formidable malevolent threats.
As impressive as is the success of these superhero fantasy films, they do not fill a gap that has loomed large in Hollywood for many years, namely, the production of hopeful stories featuring ordinary Americans facing difficulties and responding with resilience and virtue. But this year, the list of nominated films in the category of Best Picture is replete with such stories. Setting aside Amour, a fine foreign film, Life of Pi, a story about an Indian boy's quest for God, and Les Misérables, Victor Hugo's classic tale of damnation and redemption, the remaining films – Django Unchained, Lincoln, Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Silver Linings Playbook, and Zero Dark Thirty — are all American stories about struggle, hope, and in most cases victory.
Now, the absence of superheroes in this list of nominated films does not mean that we have left fantasy entirely behind; in particular, Beasts and Pi are fantasies that feature children coming to terms with familial loss and horror, and both celebrate the imaginative resources and resilience of their main characters. Silver Linings, the weakest of the nominated films, is unlike many of the others in that it is neither a fantasy nor a film rooted in dramatic historical events. Yet it too is an optimistic, if highly predictable, story about disaster and despair averted, a contemporary love story in the midst of often humorous family dysfunction.
According to most prognosticators, the top contenders for best picture are Lincoln, Argo, and Zero Dark Thirty, with Argo, directed by Ben Affleck, having the greatest momentum in recent weeks. Lincoln is a remarkable achievement, with an epic sweep and numerous memorable scenes; it also deserves credit for creating high drama out of legislative wrangling over a constitutional amendment. And it manages to achieve a difficult balance in the depiction of Lincoln, who is at once regal and an everyman. But it is often ponderous and not nearly as entertaining as the other contenders. Argo, about the 1979–80 Iranian hostage crisis, is the slightest of the three, but it is an entrancing film with understated performances that serve, rather than get in the way of, the storytelling.
To my mind, however, both are inferior to Zero Dark Thirty. Of the many — far too many — films approaching the three-hour mark in viewing time, only Zero merits its length. The story of the hunt for Osama bin Laden, it astonishingly manages to sustain a high level of suspense even though everyone knows the outcome.
Zero has a highly intelligent script that doesn't make concessions to audience ignorance. It assumes not just that we know who KSM is but also that we can supply the background to the various terrorist attacks between 9/11 and the killing of bin Laden. The occasional depiction of these attacks makes it clear that the hunt for bin Laden was the result not of a lingering fascination with a cold case but of a desire for justice and the need to contain an ongoing threat.
All three of these films focus on the exercise and role of American political power in situations of duress. Argo and Zero both make the CIA look good, and Lincoln borders on celebrating an imperial presidency.

Article on shelter that allow alcoholics to drink - page 2
They claim it is more cost effective and they will drink anyway...... Read More
1May 7, '11 by casiHonestly how often do we put these people through DTs when they have no plans or desires to stop drinking. If they want to drink themselves to death they should be allowed. If a charity organization wants to give these people the dignity of having a home, so be it.Elvish likes this.
0May 14, '11 by muffins20You know... if I had a family member that after doing numerous interventions to try and help them find sobriety they still wanted to destroy themselves (or find themselves helplessly addicted) ... then I guess I would support this shelter. It would give them a "safe", or controlled, haven at the very least.
It's not a perfect world, and addiction is a powerful condition, if not a powerful physical and psychological disease, that can turn someone you love into a total stranger overtime. I don't think there's enough gifted people out there who can actually help addicts that don't want to help themselves find sobriety.
It's heartbreaking that it even has to come down to this. -
0May 14, '11 by Liddle Noodnik GuideQuote from nurse2033From the article: "Another argument in favor of the concept is that it saves money. Each St. Anthony's resident costs about $18,000 a year to house and feed, about $1,500 a month." This is just about enough to rent them an apartment, clothe and feed them, AND provide alcohol (depending on what they drink) - why not get them housing so they can drink in a nice place instead of a nasty old shelter? Gee, think, people! (holy crap! I suppose if you let them drink the nurses don't have to deal with those pesky old seizures so much...)They claim it is more cost effective and they will drink anyway...

First Friday Photography Show
Come join me this Friday at 6:00PM (August 1, 2014) for my First Friday photography art show in Seward, at Eight Arms Printing.
Corners of Alaska
Adventure photography from the
Artist Statement:
Whether by
bike, packraft, kayak or foot, the camera is a constant companion on my
human-powered adventures through Alaska - my birth home. Photography helps me
translate some of my love affair with this land and is a reminder why I live
and dream the way I do.
To have just
the right equipment but not too much is a balancing act when adventuring in
big, wild landscapes. Many photographers would recoil to see the way I carry my
camera strapped to my body in a home made dry bag while fording rivers or
plunging knee deep into overflow at -20º, but the risk to equipment and body is
diminished by the value of capturing images in hard to reach corners of Alaska.
I attempt to
keep my work honest and not stray too far from the vision of the event as seen
in real life. However, photographs are made not taken and I labor over the
details of each image before calling it done. Rules are meant to be broken but
how the artist breaks them defines the artist. My highest hope is to tell a
good story and leave the viewer with a desire to return to the image again and

Annie Fellows JohnstonAnnie Fellows Johnston (1863-1931), American author of juvenile fiction wrote the Little Colonel series. Hattie Cochrane (1891-1975), a friend of Johnston's would become the model for her character Little Colonel, a precocious young girl growing up in aristocratic Kentucky prone to bullying and temper tantrums. The series brought fame to the Pewee Valley and inspired a movie starring Shirley Temple and Lionel Barrymore. Young girls all over America were writing her letters of appreciation and devouring her books, which went on to sell over a million copies and were translated to many languages. They illustrate the social and moral tone of the times in Old Louisville and beyond. Johnston touched the hearts of many with her semi-biographical characters including The Old Colonel, Mom Beck, Papa Jack, Mrs. Sherman, Aunt Allison, and The Waltons, based on so many people in her real life. Annie Julia Fellows Johnston was born on 15 May 1863 in Evansville, Indiana. Her mother was Mary Erskine Fellows and her father Albion Fellows was a Methodist minister who died when she was just two years old. Annie and her two sisters Lura and Albion (and later her brother Erwin) settled with their mother near her grandparent's farm in MacCutchenville, near Evansville. At an early age Annie was expressive of her imagination and sensitive to her surroundings and the people in it, of which she observed in her many poems and stories. She was a voracious reader, attended Sunday school, and at the age of seventeen taught at the district school. She then went on to attend the University of Iowa. Back in Evansville she was a public school teacher. After some months spent travelling in Europe with her sister she married her cousin, widower William Johnston (d.1892). He had three children, though she never had any of her own. Her husband had encouraged her to write and submit her work to various magazines. Her first novel Big Brother was published in 1894. Whilst visiting Pewee Valley, Kentucky (where she would settle at "The Beeches" in 1899) Johnston found inspiration for her characters and setting in The Little Colonel (1895). Two Little Knights of Kentucky (1899), The Little Colonel's House Party (1900), The Little Colonel's Holiday (1901), The Little Colonel's Hero (1902), The Little Colonel at Boarding School (1904), The Little Colonel in Arizona (1904), The Desert of Waiting (1905), The Little Colonel's Christmas Vacation (1905), The Little Colonel: Maid of Honor (1906), Legend of the Bleeding Heart (1907), Little Colonel's Knight Comes Riding (1907), The Little Colonel's Chum: Mary Ware (1908) (Ware based on Johnston's sister Albion), The Rescue of the Princess Winsome (1908) a verse play, Mary Ware in Texas (1910), Mary Ware's Promised Land (1912), Miss Santa Clause of the Pullman (1913), Georgina of the Rainbows (1916), and Georgina's Service Stars (1918) were titles to follow during her prolific and successful career. Though Johnston was dealt tragedy in her life (in 1899 her stepdaughter Rena died, and stepson John contracted tuberculosis and died in 1910) she continued to produce the Little Colonel series and affect a positive influence on her readers. The Land of the Little Colonel: Reminiscence and Autobiography was published in 1929. She died on 5 October 1931 and lies buried at the Oak Hill Cemetery of Evansville, Indiana.

Expense cuts and reductions in risk-weighted assets can produce an ROE for the business above the New York-based firm's cost of equity even with annual revenue of less than $6 billion, Porat, 55, said today on a conference call. The bank previously said its cost of equity was 10 percent, and it posted an average of $6 billion in fixed-income revenue in the past three years.
Porat's statement means Morgan Stanley can produce a higher margin from trading in the fixed-income, currency and commodity unit, or FICC, or devote less capital to the business. A person with knowledge of the matter said in May that unit would have to generate at least $1.5 billion of average revenue each quarter to earn a 10 percent return on equity.
"The main thing is controlling that which we control to drive ROEs greater than the cost of capital within fixed income," Porat said today. "If there's one metric to stay focused on, it's the ROE. That's the way we're managing the business."
Morgan Stanley generated $3.5 billion in fixed-income trading revenue in the first nine months of this year, down from $4.8 billion in the same period of 2012. This year's revenue is less than half any of its major U.S. competitors.
Chief Executive Officer James Gorman, 55, said in June that four of the five units within fixed income failed to meet their cost of equity in 2012. Once the firm completed its risk-weighted asset reduction plans, four of the groups would exceed that level, he said.

TV cash could fund cheaper tickets, says supporters chief
Premier League clubs could cut the cost of every ticket by £32 with the upcoming increase in TV money, says the Football Supporters Federation.
Domestic television revenue will increase by £1.266 billion for the next cycle, from 2013-14 to 2015-16.
"This figure shows what could potentially be done with this money," FSF chair Malcolm Clarke told the BBC.
"Yet we've just had new cost control measures, but no mention at all about how to tackle high ticket prices."
As Clarke says, clubs are highly unlikely to use the increased television money to fund decreases in ticket prices. In fact there are concerns that new Premier League cost controls - introduced to stop the television money being used to fund player wages - could lead to higher ticket prices.
The cost control rules stipulate that clubs with wage bills of more than £52m can only increase player salaries by a set amount each season (£4m in the first season, then £8m, then £12m).
Professor Tom Cannon"The new Premier League measures will put a lot more pressure on ticket prices"
These curbs only apply to television income however, which has led to fears that clubs could raise ticket prices in order to fund increases in their wage bills.
Former Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry told BBC Sport: "With any form of cost constraint, one of the possible consequences is a rise in ticket prices."
And Professor Tom Cannon, from Liverpool University's Business School, said: "These measures will put a lot more pressure on ticket prices.
"The big London clubs, in particular, will have the scope to increase ticket revenue, because of the higher average incomes of their supporters."
Clarke said it would be "outrageous" if this were to happen and that there would be "a real risk of a backlash" from fans.
The FSF reached calculated the potential £32 decrease in ticket prices by taking the aggregate Premier League attendance for 2011-12, which was 13,148,465. They then multiplied it by three, which is the number of seasons of the new TV deal, giving 39,445,395.
The new contract for UK television rights is £3.018 billion, up £1.266 billion from the previous deal, which comes to and end this season.
And if £1.266 billion is divided by 13,148,465, you get £32.10.
In response, the Premier League argues that ticket prices should be the responsibility of each individual club, while emphasising that 92.6% of seats were sold last season.
The BBC's Price of Football Survey found that individual ticket prices in the league range from £15 to £126, and that season tickets cost up to £1,955.
On Friday, Uefa announced it would be reducing the price of its cheapest ticket for this year's Champions League final at Wembley to £68.
European football's governing body was accused of exploiting supporters when the match was last staged in London, two years ago, by charging a total of £176 for the cheapest neutral ticket.
Fans will pay £60 for the lowest-priced individual tickets, although the cost comes to £68 once £8 of administration and postage charges are added.

10th February 2013 - 10:27Changing clubs needs to be de stigmatised. If fans are free to switch to cheaper clubs, big clubs would cut their prices in the end. But loyalty is demanded in football despite the big clubs showing none in return and stiffing their followers.

10th February 2013 - 5:42It's like getting a raise.when you start earning more money, then you automatically spend more money and still end up with nothing. Clubs might reduce the tickets but it will not be a vast decrease as mentioned in the article and it will not last for long because clubs will seek a reason to increase again. If there is a vast decrease then it will only be on season tickets in my opinion.
Comment number 133.
10th February 2013 - 0:31Ticket prices will never go down, they will keep rising even if the clubs are receiving more money from Sky. It's fundamentally because clubs want to generate as much revenue as possible and only way to do that is by increasing the ticket prices. If ticket prices fall, the revenue for the clubs will fall.
Comment number 132.
9th February 2013 - 22:36Ticket prices wont be coming down, if anything they'll keep going up.
IMO, the future of football lies not with season ticket holders but the higher margin one-off day tripper so in the clubs eyes, the less season tickets, the better.
There's more money to be had from the one off visitor as every week they will buy merchandise. Season ticket holders don't buy a shirt every week, tourists do! -
Comment number 131.
9th February 2013 - 19:55It's just not going to happen. A lot of Premier League clubs could sell their full capacity twice over, so why would they reduce prices? Looking outside the Premier League, what would happen at the likes of League 1 Tranmere Rovers if Liverpool and Everton charged £20 for a ticket. Their fans would say "Why are we paying £18 when for two quid more we can watch PL football?" They'd go bust!

The government has directed the Public Works Department to complete, by Sunday, renovation of the Assembly Chamber at Fort St. George.
The Department has re-deployed many of its personnel to ensure that the deadline is met, sources say.
The historic Chamber had its last sitting of the Assembly on January 11, 2010, after which the House met at the Secretariat-Assembly complex on the Omandurar Government Estate.
Till recently, the Assembly Chamber housed a reference library of the Central Institute of Classical Tamil.
The library has been relocated to one of the rooms on the ground floor of the new Assembly Complex.
New Secretary
The Assembly Secretariat has got a new chief. A.M.P. Jamaludeen, till now joint secretary, has been appointed Secretary.
He replaced M. Selvaraj who was on an extension and allowed to retire on Monday. Additional secretary S. Balachandar has been made special secretary.
Officials say a notification has been issued, declaring the dissolution of the 13{+t}{+h}Assembly and the constitution of the 14{+t}{+h}Assembly.

A very clean, well-stocked, family friendly cabin!
This cabin was the perfect family getaway! It was very clean and well-stocked with linens, towels and kitchen supplies (dishes, silverware, can opener, coffee maker), even for our large group. The small shed by the lake made fishing and kayaking very convenient and hassle free, as we kept our supplies in it and didn't have to lug it back and forth from the cabin. The owners' thoughtfulness continued by the lake, where they had several chairs and life preservers. The entire Paradox Lake area was very quiet, family-friendly, and about 20 minutes from a local supermarket. So, you can get away from it all, but not too far away if you needed something from the store. Thank you so much for providing our family with a great place to stay to make great memories!
Wonderful and Relaxing Place
My husband and I had a wonderful stay in the lake house. The fire pit made for a great night activity, taking the canoe out on the lake was so much fun and the house was clean, well prepared and nothing beats the view from the swinging chair on the porch! Paul was wonderful, responsive and easy to work with. Even though it rained for two days of our weekend, having the covered porch made it easy to sit and eat outside and use the grill anyway. We would definitely come here again!
The PERFECT vacation!
House was so clean and had all the conveniences of home. There was even a highchair for our 1 yr old granddaughter. If you are looking for a private, quiet, but activity-filled vacation, this is the place!! Canoes and kayaks are provided, which we used daily! Paradox is a beautiful lake - very clean and the water was warm. The sandy beach was great fun for our granddaughter. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Just a Dream!!! We recommend it HIGHLY.

[NOISE]. [SOUND]. I'm Daren Orf. I'm Anthony Berducci. And this is another episode of Decoded where we talk about some interesting news on technology. So let's go ahead and jump into it here [CROSSTALK] like one of our favourite past times on the show is to talk about smartphones. Yep, [LAUGH] I'd say once a week, every week, so. Well, I think it's the favourite past time of most [LAUGH] most people, smart phone is kind of like the driving product [LAUGH] of technology, so. And this time we have Amazon. Yeah, okay, so first off before we get to Amazon's smart phone that they've actually, they actually announced this phone a couple weeks ago. I don't think we've mentioned it on Dakota yet, so I thought. We haven't seen anything yet. We haven't seen it. Now there's some images circulating on. And more rumours. And more rumours, so let first off I'm just interested, Amazon. Mm-hm Okay, as of a couple months ago I, I felt like they weren't much of a hardware player. No, now they're getting into it. I mean obviously we had the Kindle Fire. Yeah. Or we had the Kindle you know, line of tablets running there. Forked Android. device. I mean that's been around forever. Sure. But now we have the fire tv came out. Mm-hm. This year. And now we have this rumored. Yeah. Amazon film which I think is going to be coming out this summer. So it's very interesting. There's, there's definitely an internal chain going on. Yeah, the Fire TV's a hit. Right. And if you like Fire TV [CROSSTALK] gave it a good review. Okay, so let's go ahead and jump into the smartphone. Okay. So, what we got here is a phone. That is, different in many ways from every, Right. Everything else is out there. Remember it's speculation right. Right. So let's talk about it. 720p possibly 3D screen. How do you feel? Well the 3D screen I'm not wowed about the 3D screen. But it just. It's, it's on the DS. Kinda thing, it's give or take if you like it or not. Yeah, I,I it'll all, it all depend on how it, how, how the user is able to control it. Are they able to just toggle it off and on? If it,if it,if it works great, I'm all for it. Sure. But there hasn't been. What do you think about the 720p? We have phones that are, that are trying. Yeah. [CROSSTALK] We're going 2 and 4 K. [LAUGH]. This seems to be a step in the wrong direction. I wonder if 720p has anything to do with that that it, they are trying to implement 3D, I don't know what's going on. Yeah. Or it could be a premium price. It could be, they could be trying to hit a price point. i, it's gonna obviously have 2 gigs of RAM, it's gonna have Qual Qualcomm quad core processor. Right. But is it gonna be forked? I've, yeah, right. So. I mean, nothing from them has ever not done. [LAUGH] So. I, I guess the one thing that really deterring me is like [INAUDIBLE] Android device is basically the same as saying like, here's another ecosystem for you to buy into. right, you can get the play store on that. And me as a, as a consumer personally, you know, I'm already, I, I review a lot of smartphone so I'm already have have half of my assets split between Iowa and Google Play. [LAUGH]. Me too. Yeah, mine is all over the place. The last thing I need is to bring in. One more. Like the forked Kindle OS, and then I have to worry, you know, so for me personally, I'm gonna be interested to see what they do with the phone. Obviously what's exciting is what was done with Fire TV. I mean they came out and they wowed people. Sure. That's their first one out the door, so. But what about the rumour that this phone is actually gonna be able, maybe, pay for some of your data. Using the Prime data. That's interesting. Why don't you talk a little bit about that. Well, if I have Amazon Prime, supposedly, I'll be able to watch a movie and not chew up any of my data. If you only have two gigs of data, you can be watching movies all day long. For free? That's already was on Amazon Prime. That's on Amazon Prime! [LAUGH] I'm okay with that! I know it's a slight few movies. It's like 40,000 movies. Yeah. Not everything is great. The tv selection is good. The tv selection is good. They just got the legacy HBO stuff so, Yeah, so. that, that's really interesting to me. If I can just not eat up any of my data time. I mean, I think it, it definitely offers consumers another choice, which is interesting. And for people who are, are heavily invested in that ecosystem, I think it's something that you definitely- Yeah, they're, they're, they're pushing forward, trying to grab customers, so let's, let's see what they do. I'm sure we'll, we'll be getting in a [UNKNOWN]. All right, let's move on to what's our next one? They next gen pay phones. yeah, so. Still happening. Yeah, so earlier this week, Bill de Blasio the New York mayor announced that they are going to be introducing free WiFi in the five boroughs. In New York City. Now what's interesting about this is, is, primarily this is happening because there is a bunch of, I think there were about 7,000 payphones that. Don't do anything. Don't do anything. Just sit there. [LAUGH] So I think they're like what do we do? they are just retrofitting them into giant advertising kiosks. Basically. Yeah. They're going, they're going to generate revenue through advertising and,and these kiosk is what they're calling them. They're gonna have a,a wide variety of uses, Uh,85 foot radius from the kiosk, you'll get free internet. I believe in Manhattan its ,Manhattan alone, there's 2,600 of them. Um,uh. That's pretty descent. I mean, if you're sitting on the [UNKNOWN] all day and you're not eating up any of your data plan again, it's fantastic. I mean, we have no idea what kind of you know, internet you'll be getting. As long as you can surf the web. Right. its okay. And how is this gonna **** heads with you know ISPs? [LAUGH] Yeah, it's kind of It'll be interesting in those, Obviously. I think. I feel at this point is like they threw out the idea and now there's going to be kind of a talk about it. And it's going to take til what, 2018? And they don't yeah, expect it to be installed until 2018. But what I think is really interesting about this. I really don't see this as like a hyper local story. I think this is something that. If it's. Successful in New York. Oh, it'll grow everywhere. There's gotta be payphones. Sure. In every city in America [LAUGH] if that were being used, right? That nobody's using. I mean, the, it's, it's kinda just, taking the idea of public access to communication technology and just being like, let's update it. Let's update it with internet [CROSSTALK] You know, you can see the future of technology just moving at the speed of light with this. And there's some ideas that the towers will include. Text messaging capabilities and. Mm-hm. You can also go have a charging ports. In case you [CROSSTALK] Which is pretty smart! I mean how often does that happen? Okay, well I actually have a mofi space pack in my backpack. So I never like out [LAUGH] of juice, man. And I'm lucky enough to carry an extra battery cause I have a removable battery in my phone, so. Yeah. Shameless Samsung plug. That's okay. So move, moving on, So what's that last one? So, A lot of people. There's a lot of change happening Especially in mobile. I mean that's very usual. Always the case. Yeah. But the big, the big ones, As we mentioned with Fire TV. That's kind of shaken up the set top kinda marketplace,. Mm-hm. And also, of course, fitness trackers are still booming and there's no end in sight. And for a, Yeah. That's, like, the biggest thing for the last year and a half [INAUDIBLE] And for a long time now, people have just been wondering, what is Apple going to do? Are they going to do an eye watch? Are they gonna have a fitness band? What is that gonna be like? What is this and that? And I think, you know, a lot of people were like they're going to renounce that at WWDC. Fine. Which is like they're big conference in June. But it turns out that that may not be the case. Yeah. I think it's one of the smartest things that Apple announced. They're going to take their time. I think the market is saturated now with. Some are good. But they definitely need tweaking. They need a lot of work. So I think they're playing the wait and see game, which is pretty smart. And probably they're working on what, IOS 8? Mmhm. And. Which will have the HealthBook app, which is their first kind of, I think it's gonna be kind of like their hub app for all of their technology. So it's not like they're ignoring it, they're clearly gearing up for it. I think we'll probably see their wearable in the Fall. Yeah. And [CROSSTALK] this is one I'm actually waiting for! I'm actually [SOUND] I'm like hey, let's see what they do. Of course, it'll be just in the Apple ecosystem, but I'm still excited to see what they're going to produce. And I think the one thing that, I think there are some uh,um, developers who are a little. They don't really know what to do with fitness trackers' cause there's a lot of conflicting evidence that suggests that the, the, how much you use fitness tracker sharply declines over time. Yeah. And like you mentioned, it's so incredibly saturated. And so many companies vying to be the fitness tracker. Yeah. That almost no one is. [CROSSTALK] [LAUGH]. The evolution is getting better. I mean, they each one, they started with just like no face. Then there was like, a little digital face. Now, of course, we've got the curved screen. You can read almost everything on it. [CROSSTALK] And now we have like, the stu, stuff like the Moto 360. Yeah. The G Watch. so. It's happening. Yeah. It's starting to mature a little bit, and so I don't think we're not going to be seeing a wearable from Apple in 2014. No. It's just not going to be as soon as maybe people had hoped. And that, that, that's fine. I'm, I'm, I'm waiting for the best to come from them. Alright, and I think that's probably going to do it for us. Yeah. Yeah, we're good. So, I'm Darren. And I'm Anthony. And this is Decoded.

This is matching pair of scales which will fit onto the sides of any 58mm model Swiss Army Knife with removable plastic sides, including the popular Classic SD. The scales pictured in the example photo are in Black Detail plastic on a Classic SD model SAK.
These are solid scales without slots for the tweezer or toothpick accessories. I have designed them to fit fully and snugly, so depending on the tolerances of the material you order them in, you may need to wrap the knife in a towel and carefully tap them on with a solid object until the scales are fully seated on the knife. Once attached to your knife I do not recommend removing the scales as the attachment holes may become damaged.
