Crystal Castles
~ Group
Crystal Castles was an experimental electronic band formed in 2003 in Toronto consisting of producer Ethan Kath and formerly of vocalist Alice Glass. The duo was known for their chaotic live shows and lo-fi melancholic homemade productions. They released many limited vinyl EPs between 2006 and 2007.
In 2006, their first single/EP "Alice Practice" was released on vinyl and was limited to 500 copies, which sold out in 3 days. Their debut album, Crystal Castles, was released in 2008 and was listed on NME's "Top 100 Greatest Albums of the Decade" list at No. 39.
In 2010, they announced their second album, titled Crystal Castles aka (II), after they released their first studio EP, Celestica/Doe Deer. The album was their first release to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, and includes their first worldwide charting single, "Not In Love", featuring Robert Smith of The Cure. The album has received general acclaim and was placed on many 2010 top critics lists.
Their third album, (III), was released on November 12, 2012. 4 singles have been released: "Plague", "Wrath of God", "Sad Eyes", "Affection".
Alice Glass announced her departure from the band in October 2014, citing both personal and professional reasons.

Charlie Brown is the one who dresses up as a ghost but cuts too many holes in his costume and ends up looking like a potato. (In the newspaper strip, Linus is the one who does this.)
The version of the show broadcast on CBS and older video releases were edited; they leave out a several of the "I got a rock!" scenes. (Some older video releases also cut the scene where Snoopy dances along to Schroeder's piano music.)
In the ABC broadcasts (2001 & 2002), they removed 3 minutes of material: the scene near the beginning where Lucy tries to get Charlie Brown to kick the football (1 min, 15 secs); the scene Snoopy dances to music Schroeder plays on the piano at the Halloween party (1 min, 45 secs); the final title card saying "The End" and one repetition of Linus's outraged statements about "next year" were lopped off (1-2 seconds). This is more than CBS ever edited out from the show.
My Three Sons was the first series to be preempted by It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown in its debut telecast.

Ok, this was a very difficult decision... I like Lachlan, but I can feel that it is going to become quite trendy soon... Sullivan is a great name, and so masculine. However, it doesn't conjure any great namesakes for me except the beautiful letter written by the Civil War soldier Sullivan Ballou. Gavin is ok, but not on par with your other choices... I'd put it down as a common/ safe option. Harrison is nice, but is losing its unique feeling.
Edison- Not only do I love the namesake, but I love the nicknames you could get from this... Ed, Eddy, Ned, etc. It's also more of a unique choice. It maintains the classic, mature feeling, but also stands out from the crowd a bit more than Sullivan or Harrison.
Lincoln- This is my #2, as there is a great namesake and a wonderful nn (Linc). However, I don't really get the same wow factor from this one that I get from Edison...Emiliana Pari Debuts July 2014Soren Pasha, Caspian Bardia, Raphael

I voted for Sullivan and Edison, both of which I think are nice strong names. The nicknames Sully and Ned are appealing as well.
The others:
Gavin - would be my third choice. I just like it!
Lincoln - might be the next trending name, Linc is a cute nn
Harrison - Love this but it seems a little passé these days
Lochlan/Lachlan - not my style, I guess

I was nosing around one of the local nurseries yesterday looking for a Tibouchina, and found these instead! A. "Rosario" is a neat anthurium with a wide, short bloom that's really cool. A. "Misty" seems to have a trait for producing double flowers...50% are doubles, 50% singles. Very weird.
The "Maxima Verde" I have had for a bit. It has huge green flowers veined with red that turn a beautiful antique rose color with age

And no doubt you chose the chair to go with them. Very good match! You make me think I should get more anthuriums. These forums are very bad for me. I didn't used to even KNOW about a lot of plants I have to have now (did know about anthuriums tho'. **sigh**) |
Those are really nice. I bought "Petra" a while back and it also throws double and single flowers. It looks similar to your "Misty" but is more red when it is getting good light. I'm up to about 20 of them now I guess. Not counting multiple plants in one pot. |

Toyota Camry Hybrid
lanceq Posts: 16Thanks bmgoodman. I will stop by and talk to them. I have actually talked to Kay Jennings about a month ago. They turned me off with telling me I would have to give them three color selections. I only want one color when paying $30,000 for a car. It will be extremely interesting to see how all of this pricing plays out. Those (like myself) who orders early are somewhat behind the eight ball on this process luckily the ordering process is non binding....
Take care,

kdhspyder Posts: 7,160Well since none have been delivered yet it's hard for the public to know. The only reports are the few preproduction models given to some automotive testers and the resulting reports.
AFAIK there have been no comments about 'sway'. I'd doubt it too since the battery is located amidship and low to the ground about the center of gravity.
The trunk will be smaller but it's a personal preference. For me it would not be a problem.
Seats? Go to a Toyota store and drive an XLE 4c. That's the closest model to the new TCH. Again personal preference. -
rorr Posts: 3,630"...the battery is located amidship and low to the ground about the center of gravity.
The trunk will be smaller but it's a personal preference."
kdhspyder - I'm confused. I thought the trunk was smaller because that's where the battery pack was located (under the trunk floor). I'm trying to figure out how a battery pack located in the trunk area would place it amidship? Last time I checked, the trunk area was NOT amidship..... -
willybill Posts: 83Suggest reading the "First Drive" review with this link:
It has excellent things to say about the TCH.. Trunk space didn't seem to suffer much from the other TC models since the battery configuration is actually under the back seat. The battery weighs about 300 pounds so it is not unlike having your mother in law in the back seat during quick turns. (
Enjoy the article. Hope it answers some of your questions.
Bill -
rorr Posts: 3,630"If it's under the rear seat and in front of the rear wheels I'd consider this 'amidship'."
I would too.
But how much of the trunk is UNDER THE REAR SEAT. And if the battery pack is UNDER THE REAR SEAT, why would the trunk be smaller?
Perhaps the gas tank was relocated on the hybrid model. Now I'm wondering if the gas tank is under the rear seat on the standard Camry but perhaps it is relocated to a point under the trunk on the hybrid model to make room for the battery pack? That would account for the trunk being smaller on the hybrid even if the battery pack is not under the trunk. -

fullofbeans Posts: 33
fullofbeans Posts: 33As for the fold down rear seat. My dealer in Ottawa, Canada tells me that the diff w/ the seats is that the height opening is less due to the battery placement.
I'm also looking for a proper picture of this to no avail. I also have heard conflicting stories from 3 different dealers in town. First shipment: end of June, Mid July and late August. -
anniemfuse Posts: 66Here's a photo of the battery (fifth photo down on left side). It looks to me as if the view is from the rear passenger compartment, with both seats folded down, looking through to the trunk. There is still a modest pass-through area, larger than the tiny pass-through on the XLE.
It looks as big as the 3+ cubic feet it takes away from the trunk volume.
(I couldn't figure out how to post the jpg file here so it's a link.)

anniemfuse Posts: 66April 26, 2006 (SmartPros) -- The IRS announced that the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid ...qualifies for a hybrid tax credit of $2,600.
Taxpayers may claim the full amount of the allowable credit up to the end of the first calendar quarter after the quarter in which the manufacturer records its sale of the 60,000th vehicle. For the second and third calendar quarters after the quarter in which the 60,000th vehicle is sold, taxpayers may claim 50 percent of the credit. For the fourth and fifth calendar quarters, taxpayers may claim 25 percent of the credit. No credit is allowed after the fifth quarter. -
tchthinking Posts: 8
kdhspyder Posts: 7,160TCH shipments should average about -
4000/mo from Japan beginning in May ( 8 x 4000 )
3000/mo from KY beginning in Nov ( 2 x 3000 )
I'd estimate about 40000 total units in the US this year. The full credit will expire ( unless extended ) on Sept 30th, when it will go to a 50% credit, then 25% credit in 1st Qtr next year, then zero thereafter ( unless extended by Congress ).
All subject to AMT as noted above, consult your tax advisor. -
library1 Posts: 54I saw the Camry Hybrid at the NY Auto Show. The Battery is located at the front of the trunk, right behind the rear seats and extends above the floor of the rest of the trunk. The pass through is about 2/3rds of the width, starting on the right side of the car. The battery blocks the left side of the space behind the seats. Its really "under" the rear seat head rests, but a good distance below them. The pass-through is like a rectangular tunnel, maybe 7 or 8 inches from front to back, about as high, and (I'm guessing)about 20 inches wide.

Good news for anyone who bought one of the recent Sony Android tablets - namely the Tablet P and Tablet S - the update to Android 4.0 should be coming your way next month. The update will not only bring all of the benefits that ICS has to offer, but also a feature that will allow Tablet users to access and watch programs they've recorded on their compatible Sony Blu-Ray recorder.
Sony released the Xperia S open source archive today, providing all the tools necessary to build a kernel and start cooking up ROMs for the Xperia S from Sony's source code. In a post to Sony Mobile's developer blog today, the company also noted that the opening of the Xperia S archive marks the first time Sony has published source code for a product built around Qualcomm's Snapdragon S3.
The post goes on to advise that in order to flash the software, users will need to complete a few extra steps and run a special script (which is linked, along with a proprietary firmware file, in the original post).
Despite the fact that Samsung has said almost nothing about the upcoming Galaxy SIII, the rumor mill is churning so hard it threatens to break free from its foundation. The latest rumor about Sammy's upcoming flagship is pretty great – DDaily, a Korean IT news publication, is reporting (via anonymous sources) that Samsung's Galaxy SIII may have a "secret weapon" – a built-in inductive charger.
While the Galaxy SIII wouldn't be the first device to come standard with inductive charging (remember Palm's Touchstone?), DDaily reports that Samsung's wireless charging plans go a step further – evidently, the SIII wouldn't even need to be touching the charging mat to begin charging.
Following the controversy surrounding a potentially leaked image of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy SIII, many were left (still) wondering just what Sammy's flagship would actually look like. Thickening the plot significantly, a Redditor has stepped up and posted what is claimed to be a real photo of the actual Galaxy SIII, provided by an employee of Samsung.
Just under an hour ago, the Redditor (using a throwaway or one-off account), posted the photo, claiming that the Samsung employee provided not only a photo, but some juicy details as well.
Today's suspected Galaxy SIII leak caused quite a stir in the Android community, of course sparking concerns over validity, likelihood that Samsung would choose such a form factor for the upcoming flagship, and just when we may see the real thing up close. A great summary of the leak on Reddit, and the subsequent comment thread got me thinking, though: just how likely is it that the leak is real?
Taiwanese manufacturer HTC released a short video today explaining the process used to create the One S' unique, durable body. For those who need a refresher, the One S is 1/3 of HTC's new 'One' line of phones, debuted at MWC this year. The One S is just below the One X, and just above the One V spec-wise, carrying a 4.3" Super AMOLED display, 8MP camera, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and a super slender 7.95mm profile.
Building on the hype surrounding HTC's new line of Android-powered smartphones, the Taiwanese manufacturer has released a series of promotional videos, showcasing the HTC One series and each device's individual strengths.
For those who may have somehow missed the buzz thus far, HTC's One series is packing some pretty impressive hardware, from the One X with a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, to the more budget-minded One V with its 1GHz processor and pocket-friendly 3.7" display.
Just as HTC announced its new One line of Android-powered smartphones, Clove, in an HTC One blog takeover, announced that pre-orders are now open for all three devices. Clove also divulged each device's price, full specs, and expected release date.
HTC One X
The HTC One X, perhaps the most impressive of the new line, is slated for release on April 5th, carrying a price tag of £410.00 (or about $645) not including VAT.
HTC has just unveiled its new 2012 One flagship series of phones, at least one of which T-Mobile USA is going to introduce in the United States this spring - the HTC One S. Of the three variants announced today, the One S is the thinnest - it's only 7.95mm thick. In fact, it's so thin that T-Mobile has never carried another phone that could beat it in that department, which it was quite happy to highlight this afternoon.
Just under a week after receiving almost unprecedented support from the Android community to fund the purchase of new build servers, the CM team has begun pumping out CM9 nightlies for a handful of devices. There's no question - the CM team is moving quickly, and the release of so many nightlies in such a short time span is exciting, to say the least.
Koushik Dutta, in a Google+ post earlier this evening, expressed appreciation, confirming that CyanogenMod "was able to purchase 3 top of the line, ridiculously geared, build servers," which will soon have an automatic build schedule.

Andria Simone
This 26 year-old singer-songwriter was born and raised in Toronto, but a colorfully adventurous life to date has helped her develop both as an artist and a self-confident young woman ready to take on the world. After all, how many aspiring soul singers have studying poker in the Ukraine on their resume? More conventionally, Andria has also studied flute, piano and voice, and her love of writing was established at an early age. "I've always enjoyed writing and poetry and getting my feelings out on paper," she explains. Simone has long had a love for a wide range of musical genres, from heavy metal to dubstep, but has recently found herself a happy creative home in the world of soul and R&B. "I'd love to go back in a time machine to the '50s and '60s and dance to that live music," she declares. "I prefer the real raw sound of the voice, not the AutoTune sounds of today."
A performer
Given the raw power, passion and precision of Simone's voice, there's a refreshing variety to her songs. The result is a sound that evokes memories of the golden days of soul and R&B, but that still has a relevant and modern edge. Call it Motown for the new millennium. YouTube clips of her covering songs made famous by the likes of Etta James ("I Just Wanna Make Love To You"), the Rolling Stones ("Paint It Black") and Sam Cooke ("Bring It On Home") have recieved very positive response. They demonstrate her skill as an interpreter, but it is the strength of her original material that will make Simone a star. She also just released her Debut EP "Good Lovin".Much as she enjoys writing and recording, it is performance that most captures Andria's heart. "I would rather sing live than hear my songs playing somewhere," she declares. "I really do leave it all there, onstage. I perform my soul out of my body!" She is a charismatic and natural performer.

I am making plans for remodeling the kid's bathroom and a guest bathroom in the basement. I was originally planning on doing tile wainscoting, but I might need to trim that from the budget. I assume that wood wainscoting will be less expensive, but I am afraid that wood might look too traditional in these particular rooms. My style is more transitional. So, would it be a mistake to skip placing something on the walls besides some type of base board trim? Is there a wood wainscoting that would work in a transitional style bathroom? Or, should I just bite the bullet and get tile? Thanks for your input! |

Is there some reason you need wainscoting at all? Why not just paint the walls to save even more money? |
- Posted by rebecca3142 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 2, 14 at 1:06
Thanks sj, that's why I am asking. I am definitely considering just painting....it just seems like all of the design pictures have something covering the wall. |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Thu, Jan 2, 14 at 7:53
Do horizontal bead board if you want a fresh take on wainscotting. But, you don't need anything at all unless it's a boys bath with the associated "misses". If it is, upgrade the paint to a semi gloss so that it's easier to scrub, and that should provide all of the actual protection that the walls need. That's the main purpose of wainscotting, not decor. |
- Posted by rebecca3142 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 3, 14 at 0:31
Thanks hollysprings! That is the information I was looking for. |
- Posted by Anna_in_TX (My Page) on Fri, Jan 3, 14 at 20:54
You don't have to do wainscoting, but I would like to suggest extending the tile a few more inches beyond the tub to handle splashing, especially on the shower head side. I think the traditional sliver of wall tile next to the tub apron is not very good for one of the most critical drip areas. The most important thing to do is to teach your boys to respect their bathroom. If they mess it up, make them clean it up. That's what my parents did with my brothers. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hit the spot
I agree with Hollysprings about horizontal beadboard! Love it! I'm attaching a photo I had saved, where I think this works so well! You are smart to stick to your budget! Before you discount tile altogether, you might be interested to see what "kgwlisa" achieved while watching her pennies! We're in the middle of a renovating our little boy's bathroom. We had the same debate and opted for tiled wainscoting in the end. We love how it's turned out. We have a way to go, but here's a photo too. Good luck with your project! |

Now that I've been homebrewing for several years now, and I try to save and reuse my bottles between batches whenever possible, I've started running into an occasional problem. Sometimes I'll go to open a bottle and instead of popping the cap, the neck will totally shear off in my hand. (Thankfully I've avoided injury so far!) The caps always appear to be on tight, yet the beer inside of the broken bottles is flat, leading me to believe that things aren't airtight somewhere. I swear I'm not opening them by smacking them on the kitchen counter either. So, my question is this: is the stress of repeated capping and un-capping of the same bottles enough to eventually lead to fatigue and stress fractures in the glass? Is there a certain amount of times you can reuse a bottle before it starts to get weaker?
Some of the wing cappers are very "grabby" for lack of a better word. I've had several and the one that had the part that grabs the bottle with metal "hands" seemed to often cause the problem you've described. I've since moved to a bench capper and haven't had one snap off yet. The bottles should really be able to take the capping and recapping for a very long time.
I've also been having that problem. I have noticed that some are worse than others. I have a problem capping any of Anchors style bottles. Also have used the bottles from some cider, woodchuck I think, and they are prone to that. Ya it's weird. Like a perfect ring about an inch below the cap? Such a pain. I've noticed little ping noises when I cap those. I set them aside just in case that happens. I've been wanting to ask this for a while now but never did. Also been wanting to ask if a bench capper would fix this.
The bottles will last forever. I'm going to guess that somewhere in the handling of them they are getting banged around and the necks are being damaged.
Let's see if I keep this updated! On tap Black Butte clone In secondary Pumpkin ale In primary Honey wit Up next.. Firestone Union Jack clone
Actually in terms of the anchor bottles, just the lip seems to break off a bit. The whole bottle stays ok but the ridge that the capper grabs sometimes breaks. Maybe I'm being to violent with my capping. MEDICMANG SMASH!!
I think the culprit is, indeed, the wing capper. When I first started to use mine, I broke a few bottles in each batch by pulling the handles down too hard. I have now learned how to do the capping more gently, and haven't had any more problems with broken bottle necks. glenn514
I've been known to pop the top ring of the bottle off on new bottles. I usually use the side of my pocket knife as a bottle opener, but on occasion I'll use whatever's handy. A 9/16 or 5/8 wrench will occasionally grab a little more than the cap.
I drink, therefore I am.

Anti-Racism Activism Civil Rights Activism Disability Rights Movement LGBT Global Justice Movement
Call it the Prague Fall: a season not only to test the democratic progress of Central Europe's most favored post-Communist nation but to find out whether a nonhierarchical, nonviolent movement of fair traders, environmentalists, debt-relief activists, socialist workers and revolutionaries can--by applying public pressure to the world's most powerful economic institutions--force real change. Prague proved, if nothing else, that the issues of corporate reform and increased social services have worldwide appeal. Red-sashed Catalonian Marxists marched alongside white-clad Italian Zapatista sympathizers. Nervous Czech environmentalists rubbed shoulders with black-hooded German anarchists. Activists from Greece and Turkey--yes, Greece and Turkey, together--commanded the front line of a march blockaded by police and kept it calm. This was not the globalization of multinationals, but in the words of Scott Codey, a US activist, "globalization of human rights, workers' rights and economic justice."
As Day One of the Initiative Against Economic Globalization in Prague began, all was quiet and orderly. Leaders of nonprofit organizations held thinly attended public discussions. Fourteen thousand dark-suited bankers and politicians yawned through World Bank and the International Monetary Fund meetings with titles like "Building the Bottom Line Through Corporate Citizenship" in a Stalin-era convention hall. Meanwhile, the police looked on benevolently--I saw one Czech lieutenant blithely pop a ball into the air with the inscription Liquidate the IMF.
By late morning, however, activists had begun a three-pronged assault on the heavily guarded Congress Center. One group of mostly anarchists and communists managed to snake its way through police barricades and get within yards of the bankers' meeting hall. It remains unclear how the violence escalated so quickly, but fifty Czech police were injured in a bombardment of sticks, stones and Molotov cocktails. By nightfall, after activists had smashed the windows of a McDonald's on Wenceslas Square, cops were again beaten back, this time by protesters wielding the policemen's own batons. The day ended in a cloud of tear gas, with thousands of World Bank delegates being shuttled in buses, searching for the four-star hotels not besieged by young radicals.
By Day Two, to no one's surprise, the Czech police had abandoned their restraint. I saw officers round up protesters for no apparent reason and cart them off to jail, where things got decidedly worse. Many of the 859 arrested were denied food, water and phone calls. And in numerous cases, they were severely beaten. "The jails here are a place of no control, a place of complete darkness," said Marek Vesely, an observer with Citizens Legal Watch, a Czech nonprofit. "A lot of people who didn't have anything to do with the violence got arrested." In addition to investigating a range of human rights violations, Citizens Legal Watch is trying to determine whether police provocateurs urged on the crowds and whether--as was widely rumored--some activists were turned away at the Czech border based on information provided by the FBI.
But amid the apparent chaos, there were signs of accomplishments. For one, pressure from the streets, building ever since Seattle, finally forced two traditionally secretive institutions to let some critics in the door. Representatives of Transparency International, which is calling for public access to World Bank and IMF documents, along with 350 representatives of nongovernmental organizations, were admitted to meetings in Prague (five years ago, only two NGOs were allowed in). World Bank president James Wolfensohn and IMF managing director Horst Köhler even met with NGO leaders in a public meeting presided over by Czech President Vaclav Havel.
Still, the substance of the new dialogue left much to be desired. "Understand that we are not a world government," Wolfensohn told NGO leaders. "Very often people blame us for the politics in a country when they should really blame themselves." Such defensiveness makes it hard to take seriously the World Bank and IMF claim that they want "to make globalization work for the benefit of all." As Liane Schalatek of the Heinrich Böll Foundation said, "NGOs have pointed out for more than three decades that growth is not just economic growth. We have heard the rhetoric." (Wolfensohn did manage to win over rock star Bono of U2, who left Prague calling him "the Elvis of economics.")
The Italian Zapatistas and Catalonian Marxists have now returned home. Czechs have reoccupied their city. And the jails are mostly empty (as of this writing, only twenty protesters remain in custody). But the Prague Fall is not over. The movement is globalized; critics have been admitted into the tent. And perhaps most important, politicians, central bankers and multinational chiefs are beginning to understand that corporate globalization faces truly global antipathy.
It took twelve years for the FDA to approve mifepristone--also known as
RU-486--and most of that time had less to do with medicine than with the
politics of abortion. Still, the late-September decision was a
tremendous victory for American women. In approving RU-486, the FDA
showed that science and good sense can still carry the day, even in an
election year.
The long delay may even backfire against the drug's opponents. In 1988,
when mifepristone was legalized in France, it was a medical novelty as
well as a political flashpoint. Today, it's been accepted in thirteen
countries, including most of Western Europe; it's been taken by more
than a half-million women and studied, it sometimes seems, by almost as
many researchers. By the end of the approval process, the important
medical professional organizations--the AMA, the American Medical
Women's Association, the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists--had given mifepristone their blessing; impressive
percentages of Ob-Gyns and family practitioners said they would consider
prescribing it; thousands of US women had taken it in clinical trials
and given it high marks, with 97 percent in one study saying they would
recommend it to a friend. Against this background of information and
experience, the antichoicers' attempt to raise fears about the drug's
safety sounds desperate and insincere.
In a normal country, RU-486 would simply be another abortion method, its
use a matter of personal preference (in France it's the choice of 20
percent of women who have abortions, while in Britain only 6 percent opt
for it). But in the United States, where abortion clinics are besieged
by fanatics and providers wear bulletproof vests, mifepristone's main
significance lies in its potential to widen access to abortion,
especially in those 86 percent of US counties that possess no abortion
clinic, by making it private--doctors unable or unwilling to perform
surgical abortions could prescribe it, and women could take it at home.
It is unlikely, however, that Mifeprex, as the drug will be known when
it comes on the market, will prove to be the magic bullet that ends the
war on abortion by depriving antichoice activists of identifiable
targets. The nation has been retreating from Roe v. Wade for a
quarter-century, and a good portion of the patchwork of state and local
regulations intended to discourage surgical abortion will apply to
Mifeprex as well: parental notification and consent laws (thirty-two
states), waiting periods (nineteen states), biased counseling and
cumbersome reporting and zoning requirements. States in which
antichoicers control the legislatures will surely rush to encumber
Mifeprex with hassles, and small-town and rural physicians in particular
may find it hard to prescribe Mifeprex without alerting antichoice
activists. Doctors are a cautious bunch, and the anticipated flood of
new providers may turn out to be a trickle, at least at first. Abortion
rights activists should also brace themselves for a backlash from their
hard-core foes: Just after the FDA's decision was announced, a Catholic
priest crashed his car into an Illinois abortion clinic and hacked at
the building with an ax.
But in the long run, Mifeprex will make abortion more acceptable. In
poll after poll Americans have said that when it comes to terminating a
pregnancy, the earlier the better. Mifeprex, which has been approved for
the first forty-nine days after a woman's last menstrual period--when
the embryo's size varies from a pencil point to a grain of rice--may
well prove not to arouse the same kinds of anxieties and moral qualms as
surgical abortion. Then, too, Americans are used to taking pills. That,
of course, is what the antichoicers are afraid of.
Let's give up some applause for Dick Cheney for affirming in deed, if not words, that homosexuality is perfectly consistent with traditional family values. The decision for a Republican candidate for the vice presidency to have an avowed homosexual at his side through virtually every hour of his campaign is a bit risky. It means taking on the forces of intolerance on the right wing of his party, a wing that at one time included Cheney and, more prominently, his wife.
However, now that Cheney has granted his lesbian daughter a major role in his campaign, is it not time for the candidate to distance himself from a Republican platform that would deny equal rights protection to all homosexuals? Evidently homosexuals can be reliable workers, and it should be illegal to discriminate against folks like Mary Cheney simply because of their sexual orientation.
"I think of her as sort of my aide-de-camp," candidate Cheney said in paying tribute to his daughter Mary in an interview last week with the New York Times: "She keeps all the paper flow coming to me; everything sort of funnels through her. More than that, she knows me. She has no qualms about telling me when she thinks I'm wrong, or when I need to do something. Mary will always come in and lay it right on me. My experience over the years is that's invaluable in a campaign. Everybody wants a good relationship with the candidate--not everybody will level with you. Mary levels with you."
One would accept such excellent skills to be valuable to any employer not biased by prejudice against gays. Yet anti-discriminatory laws are needed precisely because not all employers have had the opportunity to learn from their own offspring that homosexuals are indeed normal people.
Given that Mary Cheney is proving so valuable in the campaign, would Cheney, the person who'd be next in line to become commander in chief of the armed forces if George Bush wins, still stick to his oft-expressed view that homosexuals not be allowed to serve in the military? Would his daughter be more inclined than heterosexuals in the military to undermine morale by acting in indecorous ways?
The Republican platform declares that homosexuality is "incompatible" with military service and even stands "united" with the Boy Scouts in that organization's avowed policy of excluding gays. Does Dick Cheney believe that the Girl Scouts are amiss in not following the example of the Boy Scouts, and would he be in favor of excluding his own daughter from playing a role in that organization?
These questions are not intended to be cute or to pull the candidate's chain. They go directly to the hypocrisy in which we treat homosexuals as dangerous freaks unless we happen to be friends with, or related to, one.
Ignorance is the essential ingredient in hate. Dick Cheney probably didn't know his daughter was gay when he compiled one of the most viscously anti-gay voting records in Congress. He was one of only 13 representatives in 1988 who voted against funding for AIDS testing and research at a time when that was conveniently thought to be an exclusively gay disease, and one of only 29 that same year to vote against a Hate Crimes Statistics Act.
Perhaps he would vote differently now that his daughter, whose judgment he trusts in all important matters, has determined that she is indeed a homosexual. Should a woman of such sound thought and strong moral principles not be the best judge of her essential sexual nature? Or should we continue to be guided by the bigotry of legislators and religious proselytizers? It is still against the law in Texas to perform homosexual acts; does Mary Cheney have to retreat to Colorado to legally make love?
Yes, it would be best if such decisions could be left in the private realm, as the Cheneys now ask in refusing to discuss their daughter's sexuality. But it's too late for such niceties because the hate-mongers and their respectable allies in the Republican Party have for decades exploited homosexuality as a hot political issue. It is they who have thwarted every legislative effort to grant to homosexuals the same rights afforded all other citizens.
One can understand why Mary Cheney does not now want to become a poster woman for gay rights. But she is, by her father's witness, living proof that being gay is perfectly compatible with leading a moral, public-spirited and fully enriched family values life. She is a role model that even the political right might be forced to respect.
The Supreme Court opens its new term with a case that raises the stakes dramatically in the politics of fetal rights. At issue in Ferguson v. City of Charleston is whether a public hospital violates the Constitution when it tests pregnant women for drug use and turns over positive results to the police without so much as obtaining a search warrant.
Medical professionals and the general public agree that it is not desirable for pregnant women to use drugs. But this case raises a different question: Do women forfeit basic constitutional rights to equal treatment, due process and protection against unreasonable searches and seizures when they become pregnant?
South Carolina has been a leader in the movement, building ever since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, to establish rights for fetuses. No state has done more to target pregnant women who use drugs. Starting in 1989, the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) invited the police and local prosecutor to help implement a policy directed at prenatal-care patients. Women who came to MUSC, the only facility for indigent patients in Charleston, were threatened with arrest if they tested positive for drugs. Some were jailed for the duration of their pregnancies (surely not an optimal environment for pregnant women's health), and others were jailed after giving birth, still in their hospital gowns. All but one were black. The crimes they were charged with--drug possession, child neglect and distributing drugs to a minor--carried penalties of two to twenty years.
South Carolina Attorney General Charles Condon has said, "There is no constitutional right for a pregnant mother to use drugs." True enough. But the Constitution does guarantee rights of personal liberty and due process, which in turn require that all people, regardless of race or gender, be treated fairly and equally under the law. And the Charleston police department has never arrested a male hospital patient and charged him with possessing drugs on the basis of a positive urine test.
The real issue is how to respect pregnant women's constitutional rights while improving their (and their future children's) chances of a good outcome. The state maintains that the "stick" of criminal intervention is necessary to make its policy of "encouraging" pregnant women to get treatment effective. But at the time the policy took effect, there was not a single residential drug-abuse-treatment program for women in the entire state. MUSC itself would not admit pregnant women to its treatment center. And no outpatient program in Charleston provided childcare so that pregnant women with young children could keep their counseling appointments.
Finally, arresting women after they give birth does nothing to promote a healthy pregnancy or newborn. This practice also hinders the basic goals of keeping families together and promoting family stability through the provision of rehabilitative services instead of punishment.
Condon has made plain his desire to challenge the premise underlying abortion law: that a fetus is not a person in the constitutional sense and has no rights of its own. In 1998 he told the Washington Times that he would be "proud" and "very pleased" to defend his policies, "even in terms of reversing Roe v. Wade."
Faced with sanctions and the loss of federal dollars when the federal government investigated MUSC for ethics violations and discrimination against African-American women, the hospital suspended its policy in late 1994. But the program's architects got a boost when the State Supreme Court ruled in 1996 that a viable fetus is a person under the children's code, a ruling that the US Supreme Court allowed to stand. Condon then instructed district attorneys around the state to prosecute for "child abuse" women who take drugs during pregnancy.
Because most women in the United States get pregnant at least once in their lives, the practical and political implications of the Supreme Court's decision in Ferguson v. City of Charleston will be enormous. Fetal rights advocates recently scored a victory in Massachusetts when a judge entered an order of protection on behalf of a fetus and took a pregnant woman into state custody. The state alleges that the woman let her last baby die shortly after birth but has not charged her with any crime. If the Court upholds South Carolina's policy, it will encourage similar actions, effectively putting American women on notice that if they become pregnant, their lives are no longer their own.
A recent decision reminds us that true equality for gay people will arrive only when the Supreme Court is not controlled by Justices whose moral view of gay people is negative.
Right now, there are three votes on the Court to get rid of Roe altogether and often four or five to impose costly, chilling and burdensome regulations on the exercise of that right by the patient and her doctor.
The project of racial reconciliation and historical correction is "constitutional" in the deepest, multiple senses of that word.
Madame Curie's denial of radiation dangers is emblematic of the legacy we now face as America's romance with the atom draws to a close.

Angelina Jolie Revealed Mastectomy Surgery To Ex-Husband Billy Bob Thornton Before Public
Actor and singer Billy Bob Thornton has given an extraordinary indication of how close he still is to his ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
The 57-year-old today spoke of how Jolie came to him with news of her very personal health issue.
WATCH the video above to find out more.
The two were married only briefly, between the years 2000 and early 2002, but the recent news suggests a close friendship still exists.
Jolie wrote the foreword to Billy Bob's memoir last year, and he has spoken of his close friendship with both Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt.
Their marriage was known for its rather bizarre shows of affection, such as the wearing of lockets containing each other's blood.
Jolie revealed in May that she had undergone a double mastectomy to reduce her risk of developing breast cancer.

How to protect your Mac using FileVault 2 encryption
FileVault 2 can protect your drive's data by encrypting the data on your drive. Is it worth using?
An administrator password only goes so far to protect your Mac, but what happens if someone circumvents it or boots from another volume? The contents of your Mac will be vulnerable — unless you encrypt it. Fortunately Apple enables just such technology with FileVault 2 encryption, and it's built right into OS X Mavericks. Here's how to enable FileVault 2 encryption on your Mac.
FileVault 2 is whole-disk encryption for the Macintosh. The entire contents of your Mac's hard disk are encrypted using XTS-AES 128, a secure encryption algorithm. (The original FileVault, available for Snow Leopard, uses weaker AES 128 encryption.)
What you'll need to use FileVault 2
- A Mac running OS X Lion 10.7 or later
- A hard drive with Recovery Partition installed (to check, try rebooting your Mac with holding down the command and R keys).
How to turn on FileVault 2
- Click on the menu.
- Select System Preferences....
- Click on Security & Privacy.
- Click on the FileVault tab.
- Click on the padlock icon in the lower left hand corner.
- Enter your system password and click on Unlock.
- Click on Turn On FileVault.
- Write down or record the recovery key and store it in a secure location. This is a second-line defense if you should forget your system password, or if something goes wrong with that password. Then click the Continue button.
- You can optionally store the recovery key with Apple. If you do, you'll be required to enter three security questions to verify your identity, should you ever need it.
- Click the Restart button to restart your Mac, activate FileVault and begin the encryption process.
- After you restart, you'll be required to log in. Once you do, FileVault will begin to encrypt the information on your hard drive. It may take several hours depending on the performance of your Mac and the amount of data on you're encrypting.
The recovery key is absolutely vital — if you don't have this and something goes wrong with your Mac's system password, the data on your hard drive will be lost permanently. So make sure you've recorded it, or that you've stored the recovery key with Apple.
FileVault will encrypt files in the background. During the initial encryption process and thereafter, you'll be able to continue to use your Mac normally.
How to disable FileVault 2
To turn off FileVault, simply return to the Security & Privacy system preference, click the padlock, enter your system password and then click the Turn Off Filevault button. FileVault will decrypt the hard drive the same way that it encrypted it.
Who should use FileVault 2?
To be clear, FileVault isn't something that everyone needs to use. Unless you absolutely need to protect the contents of your hard drive outside of anything but the most intensive forensic recovery, FileVault may be overkill. But if the need is there, it's reassuring to know that it's there, and it's fairly easy to activate and deactivate as long as you follow the instructions.
Do you use FileVault? Will you? Let me know in the comments.

How to protect your Mac using FileVault 2 encryption
What about performance? Aren't things slowed down with FileVault encrypting and decrypting everything as it is read from and written back to the drive?
The CPUs in use these days have special dedicated commands just for this type of encryption, the CPU load doesn't show any increase even when writing out large files on an encrypted system. I've used it since it came out on a 2010 iMac with no performance hit.
Note that if you turn this in you should also turn on encryption for your Time Machine backup. Perhaps an article on how to do that is in order.
I use FileVault 2 and I love it. Almost no performance hit and easy to set up and maintain. One thing to mention about FV2. If you setup boot camp and then try to delete the boot camp using the boot camp configuration, it will fail to resize your partition. You will have to disable FV2 first, then delete the boot camp install and it should then restore the previous partition sizes.
Sent from the iMore App
Quick question guys - hoping someone could help. We run OS X with Windows via VM Ware Fusion on our machines. We would only be wanting to excrypt certain folders rather than the whole system. Is there anything you guys would recommend for this? FileVault doesn't allow selective encryption i believe.
I'm unclear, based on what you've described, if the folders you want to encrypt are in the Windows virtual machine or on OS X.
Peter has a point. Whether the folders are in OS X, or with in the VM, Mac encryption and windows are probably not going to play nice. My method, in my other comment, is really only for Mac, but I assume it is possible to copy the ENTIRE vm to an encrypted dmg. Since it's just a folder. I honestly don't advise this. I don't know how parallels or VMware would handle it.
Perhaps a happy medium: I suggest you experiment by creating a small encrypted dmg, then see if you can share that dmg between OS X and the VM.
Hi guys, so sorry for not being clearer. Ok, basically where i work, we run around 30 Macs with VMWare Fusion running Windows 7. On the OS X side, we all have Dropbox which we use quite heavily. Seeing as though Dropbox is the only fileshare source that is not hosted internally, i was asked to encrypt (or find a solution) that encrypts our local OS X Dropbox folder. I am aware that dropbox encrypts all their files anyway, but my boss is looking for a second local layer of encryption. We could be moving to Bootcamping these systems later down the track meaning Dropbox would be stored on Windows, but for the time being, it is on the OS X side. So i was 'specifically' looking for a solution to Encrypt that folder. Hope this helps, and hope you can help :) AND thanks for replying.
To my knowledge, there is no way to individually select which folders to encrypt. You can, however, create a new Disk Image within your volume using the Disk Utility app, and encrypt that disk image. Now you simply put all the files you want to keep encrypted in that disk image. I don't know if this will work with your existing Windows folder, but I suppose it is possible to transfer everything in VM folder to the encrypted dmg. The big catch with this solution is that you are stuck with the size you initially choose, meaning you better make sure you allocate enough storage bc you can't make it bigger in the future. You also can't make it smaller, so make sure you have a large enough disk. You could, I suppose, when you're running out of space in that dmg, create a second larger disk image, transfer contents from A to B, then delete A. Also, now that I think about it, I assume Time Machine will have issues with this. IF it will back it up, it most likely will have to make a new copy every time, since TM likely can't read what's inside the encrypted dmg, but it will see that it was modified by the meta data of the image itself... Proceed at your own risk, and Good luck!
Peter might have added that the use of FileVault 2 disables "safe boot" and the recovery partition. This should not preclude the use of FileVault 2, but can cause problems when diagnosing computer problems.
Getting ready for a business trip to China next month. Who knows what might happen to my MBA going through customs over there (or coming back). FileVault 2 on!
Are you sure that the computer must have a recovery partition? I don't THINK I have one, but in know I've enabled FV2. I probably have a recovery partition, I suppose. I just know that I swapped the HDD for an SSD and installed fresh Mavericks from an ISO.
I just looked at Disk Utility, it shows my "120Gb" ssd as Capacity: 119.17Gb, Available: 16.8Mb, Used: 119.16Gb. This is with FV2 enabled. I don't think I have a recovery partition, unless it is inside the encrypted volume, which I would assume not. This is a 2010 Mac mini btw, with a DVD drive, so I installed mavericks from a DVD ISO I created, so I don't really need the recovery partition.

Growing up as a woman's size 14, Deb Malkin hated the shapeless floral prints that filled her closet. In 2008, she opened the first plus-size vintage boutique in the country, outfitting the warehouse-size space with pale yellow walls, a smattering of chandeliers, and zebra-print dressing rooms. The selection includes everything from Svoboda premium denim to Jones New York blazersbut only in sizes 10 and up. Malkin spent a year traveling the country hunting for thrift finds like Liza in Vegasesque sparkle tops, leather jackets, and glam dresses from the forties to eighties. She continues to buy women's vintagewear, from lingerie to mint-condition knee-high boots. Malkin is on a first-name basis with most customers, who range from burlesque dancers to women who haven't tried on clothing in years. During downtime, groups hold monthly meetings and book-launch parties in the Re/Dress lounge, which features plush velvet chairs, leopard-print pillows, and a découpage ceiling collage depicting curvy, full-figured cabaret models.
