Lesson learned: Bought kegging kit without co2 cylinder. Bought paintball co2 cylinder (thinking id save 50$) without doing enough research or even just thinking and the paint ball tank doesnt work on my regulator. Crumbled and went back online and ordered a 5lb cylinder tank. If i wouldn't have been such a cheap skate i could have have the cylinder and an extra corny keg for the amount i ended up spending Dont even think i can return the paint ball cylinder

Perhaps all is not lost. You could use it to purge the head space if you use a secondary. Or perhaps you can buy a paint ball gun!!
Could get one of these adapters that let you run a paintball tank for your co2 setup.http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=268

Will Saturday's 'supermoon' destroy the Earth?
No, it won't. You people really need to learn to calm down.
Julio Cortez/AP
Astronomers call it perigee-syzygy; the rest of us call it "supermoon." Either way, the alignment of the sun and moon will coincide with the moon's closest approach to Earth on Saturday (May 5), resulting in the biggest full moon of the year. But don't worry, it won't break Earth.
Saturday's supermoon will be especially super. Richard Nolle, the astrologer who coined the term "supermoon," defined it as a full moon that occurs within 12 hours of lunar perigee, or the point in the moon's slightly non-circular monthly orbit when it swings closest to our planet. On Saturday, the timing of the two events will be almost perfect: the moon will reach its perigee distance of 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometers) — the closest lunar perigee of 2012, in fact — at 11:34 p.m. Eastern Time, and it will fall in line with the sun (thereby becoming full) just one minute later.
Thus, our satellite will loom even larger than the supermoon of March 19, 2011, when perigee and full moon fell 50 minutes apart. Nonetheless, just as last year's supermoon passed by without triggering any of the earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and chaos that were predicted by some corners of the Internet, this year's event will almost certainly be similarly tame. Seismologists have found no evidence to believe that supermoons heighten seismic activity — at least not over and above the effects of run-of-the-mill moons.
Under normal conditions, the moon is close enough to Earth to make its weighty presence felt: It causes the ebb and flow of the ocean tides. The moon's gravity can even cause small but measureable ebbs and flows in the continents, called "land tides" or "solid Earth tides," too. The tides are greatest during full and new moons, when the sun and moon are aligned either on the opposite or same sides of the Earth. [Photos: Mysterious Objects Spotted on the Moon]

Late-breaking summer jam alert! Last night, Drake threw a new track online, his first since he dumped four new ones on an unsuspecting internet back in June. The latest is "All Me," which features two Kanye buddies in 2 Chainz and Big Sean (or, if you count the Aziz Ansari sample on the intro, three). And this thing is a hit! Magnificently spacey beat, hook that goes on forever and feels like five different hits, ridiculous 2 Chainz verse that tells you what happens when you try to go through airport security with a boner. Great song! Download it below!
Drake's new album Nothing Was The Same is out 9/17 on Cash Money, and his latest shit is like a greatest-hits, goddam.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remali'ah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign. | 1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. |
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God, as his father David had done, | 2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God. |
3 but he walked in the way of the kings of Israel. He even burned his son as an offering, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel. | 3 He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, following the detestable ways of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. |
4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. | 4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree. |
5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remali'ah, king of Israel, came up to wage war on Jerusalem, and they besieged Ahaz but could not conquer him. | 5 Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem and besieged Ahaz, but they could not overpower him. |
6 At that time the king of Edom recovered Elath for Edom, and drove the men of Judah from Elath; and the E'domites came to Elath, where they dwell to this day. | 6 At that time, Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram by driving out the men of Judah. Edomites then moved into Elath and have lived there to this day. |
7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tig'lath-pile'ser king of Assyria, saying, "I am your servant and your son. Come up, and rescue me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are attacking me." | 7 Ahaz sent messengers to say to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, "I am your servant and vassal. Come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram and of the king of Israel, who are attacking me." |
8 Ahaz also took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent a present to the king of Assyria. | 8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold found in the temple of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace and sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria. |
9 And the king of Assyria hearkened to him; the king of Assyria marched up against Damascus, and took it, carrying its people captive to Kir, and he killed Rezin. | 9 The king of Assyria complied by attacking Damascus and capturing it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir and put Rezin to death. |
10 When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tig'lath-pile'ser king of Assyria, he saw the altar that was at Damascus. And King Ahaz sent to Uri'ah the priest a model of the altar, and its pattern, exact in all its details. | 10 Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. He saw an altar in Damascus and sent to Uriah the priest a sketch of the altar, with detailed plans for its construction. |
11 And Uri'ah the priest built the altar; in accordance with all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Uri'ah the priest made it, before King Ahaz arrived from Damascus. | 11 So Uriah the priest built an altar in accordance with all the plans that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus and finished it before King Ahaz returned. |
12 And when the king came from Damascus, the king viewed the altar. Then the king drew near to the altar, and went up on it, | 12 When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it. |
13 and burned his burnt offering and his cereal offering, and poured his drink offering, and threw the blood of his peace offerings upon the altar. | 13 He offered up his burnt offering and grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his fellowship offerings on the altar. |
14 And the bronze altar which was before the LORD he removed from the front of the house, from the place between his altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of his altar. | 14 The bronze altar that stood before the LORD he brought from the front of the temple--from between the new altar and the temple of the LORD--and put it on the north side of the new altar. |
15 And King Ahaz commanded Uri'ah the priest, saying, "Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening cereal offering, and the king's burnt offering, and his cereal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their cereal offering, and their drink offering; and throw upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by." | 15 King Ahaz then gave these orders to Uriah the priest: "On the large new altar, offer the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and his grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offering. Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar for seeking guidance." |
16 Uri'ah the priest did all this, as King Ahaz commanded. | 16 And Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had ordered. |
17 And King Ahaz cut off the frames of the stands, and removed the laver from them, and he took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pediment of stone. | 17 King Ahaz took away the side panels and removed the basins from the movable stands. He removed the Sea from the bronze bulls that supported it and set it on a stone base. |
18 And the covered way for the sabbath which had been built inside the palace, and the outer entrance for the king he removed from the house of the LORD, because of the king of Assyria. | 18 He took away the Sabbath canopy that had been built at the temple and removed the royal entryway outside the temple of the LORD, in deference to the king of Assyria. |
19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? | 19 As for the other events of the reign of Ahaz, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? |
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Hezeki'ah his son reigned in his stead. | 20 Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And Hezekiah his son succeeded him as king. |

Re-Imagining the future of Albany High School Board eyes 2015 public vote following additional study, community involvement
The City School District of Albany Board of Education is looking toward a public vote on a major renovation for Albany High School in 2015, but not during the winter as further study and community involvement still is necessary.
President Rose Brandon, Th.D., said at the board's meeting Nov. 6 at Arbor Hill Elementary School that the board remains committed to providing city residents with an opportunity to vote on a high school project in the coming year. Follow this link to watch a video about the process of Re-Imagining Albany High School, along with many additional documents relating to the 20-month community conversation about Albany High's future.
"We know that our current 41-year-old high school cannot meet our future teaching and learning requirements," Dr. Brandon said at the Nov. 6 meeting. "The need for a completely new design to properly serve our students and families is not in question.
"We also are increasingly concerned about our ability to secure the building in its current layout and in these times. Albany High School was designed and built in a different day and age. Public facilities, including schools, did not need to be as security-conscious two, three and four decades ago. That reality has changed for all of us in America. Events here in Albany and across our nation continue to show us that. Our current high school design and layout leave too much to chance.
"We know that our students, our families and our entire community need and deserve a better high school facility. However, we also recognize that we need more time to do it right. We don't believe that putting this project up for a public referendum this winter would allow us to do that.
"So we are asking the superintendent and staff to work with our Facilities Committee to study the current concept in greater detail. We hope to be able to deliver a project to our community for a vote in 2015. We also recognize that our design partners have presented us with a very strong proposal that provides as little impact on our taxpayers as we could possibly imagine for a project of this size and scope.
"We will keep you informed and involved every step of the way as we move forward."
Major renovation, reconstruction plan emerges
The total estimated cost and resulting tax impact of a complete makeover for Albany High School would cost about $196.3 million, according to plans the board reviewed at its Oct. 2 meeting at Sheridan Preparatory Academy. That was down $2.7 million from the first estimates. Click here to download the Oct. 2 board presentation.
Revisions to the schedule for phasing the renovations also would generate an additional $8.2 million in state aid. The original renovation estimate presented Sept. 18 was $22 million-$44 million less than the first designs for renovations or new construction over a shorter timeline (click here to download that presentation from the board's July 17 meeting).
The most current projections would lessen the potential impact on homeowners. Taxpayers with the basic STAR exemption on homes valued from $150,000-$250,000 would see a potential increase of $50-$93. Homeowners with the enhanced STAR for seniors would see a potential increase of $34-$77.
Major renovations and additions would be phased in over a seven-year period, beginning with a new fine-arts wing and auditorium in what is now the rear of the building. The current academic building would be completely renovated to create two distinct smaller learning communities, or SLCs. A new academic building with three SLCs would be added along Washington Avenue. The renovations and additions would be done in phases, making new spaces available as they are completed and allowing the school more flexibility in implementing new academic initiatives connected to the district's 2020 Vision for secondary transformation.
However, several board members questioned whether the project would generate enough community support to pass. Several speakers during the public-comment period at the start of the meeting also said they were more concerned with raising student achievement before taking on a costly facilities project.
The Times Union reported on the discussion in its Oct. 4 editions.
Concept design forum provides first glimpse of possible designs
Approximately 100 people gathered in the Albany High School north cafeteria June 18 to continue the process of re-imagining the future of high school education in our community.
Students, parents, community members and staff members participated in the Concept Design Forum (pictured at right), studying three preliminary ideas for what new high school facilities could look like and advancing a process that began 18 months ago and has included input and feedback from hundreds.
Please visit the Re-Imagining Albany High School website, where you can watch a video about the project. You also can view or download related documents such as the Board of Education's High School Vision and the educational specifications and space relationship diagrams that informed the first drafts of building designs.
You also can read a June 20 Times Union article about the Concept Design Forum.
"We had deep and robust conversations about the work we have done together over the past 18 months, and especially about the draft design concepts that have evolved from that work," Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard, Ph.D., said at the following night's board meeting.
"We will take all of (the June 18) feedback into account as we move forward over the next few weeks with the Facilities Committee and our design partners."
The board's Facilities Committee continued work on the design options July 10, and the full board will revisit the updated designs and preliminary cost estimates at its meeting July 17 at Albany High. That meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the north cafeteria.
The three preliminary designs all would build on the site of the current high school at 700 Washington Ave. Each design features a separate lower school and upper school. A lower school on one side of the facility would include three smaller learning communities for freshmen and sophomores, designed to provide the school's youngest students with the additional supports many need for a successful transition to high school.
An upper school on the other side of the facility would include two smaller learning communities for juniors and seniors. The upper-school experience would include numerous options for students to participate in college work and hands-on experiences in the community alongside traditional high school requirements.
"We want to think about high school not only as a place within the walls, but also as a place beyond our walls," Dr. Vanden Wyngaard said.
The lower and upper academic wings would be divided by a wide multi-story enclosed common area, similar to the way Albany High's current outdoor courtyard separates the school's current academic wing from the auditorium, music wing, physical education wing and main office.
One of the current preliminary design options is a major renovation with some new construction, one is primarly new construction that preserves only the current main gym, and the third option is entirely new construction. Cost estimates for each, and a full picture of the state aid that would support the project, will be determined as the designs are updated and finalized later this summer.
Numerous opportunities for public participation will follow through the summer and fall. The board is working toward the Oct. 16 board meeting for approval of a final design concept to send to voters. A referendum tentatively is planned for December.
"Our work between now and then will include many more opportunities for stakeholder input, and we look forward to continuing that work and that partnership toward what I know will be a strong plan for our future," Dr. Vanden Wyngaard said.
Board presentation marks first preliminary design options
The City School District of Albany's process of Re-Imagining Albany High School moved forward June 5 with a Board of Education presentation of the first ideas of what a new or renovated school could look like.
Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard, Ph.D., and the district's architectural design partners outlined three concepts based on the district's 2020 Vision for secondary transformation, and informed by 18 months of planning in partnership with the board, community and staff.
You can download the June 5 PowerPoint presentation, which include the preliminary designs discussed at the meeting.
Demographic and enrollment study envisions future facilities needs
The Board of Education commisioned a demographic and enrollment study in the spring of 2014, with a final report presented in June.
Although the city's population of school-age children is expected to remain steady, the study also considered district enrollment trends with variables such as a significant increase in Albany High School's graduation rate and the continued closure of underperforming charter schools. Three charter schools have closed in recent years due to poor academic and financial performance, and seven of the city's remaining nine charter schools are up for review over the next two years. That includes both current charter high schools, which served a combined total of about 500 Albany students during the 2013-14 school year.
District and Albany High enrollment were nearly 9,000 and 2,300, respectively, during the 2013-14 school year. The study determined that those figures could grow beyond 10,500 and 3,800, respectively, over the next 10 years. Click here to download the June 2014 Demographic and Enrollment Study.
School's 40th anniversary marked by planning for the future of high school education
Albany High School turned 40 during the 2013-14 school year.
Back in 1973-74, the school at 700 Washington Ave., represented a state-of-the-art approach to high school education in our city. That version of Albany High, just the third since the city's system of public education began in the 19th century, reflected the community's shared vision for a new way to educate all students.
Now, as the school marks its ruby anniversary in 2013-14, the City School District of Albany is continuing its work with the community to plan for a 21st century vision of public high school education.
"I am energized by the opportunity we have as a community to re-imagine high school education for our future generations," said Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard, Ph.D. "This is a rare opportunity and we are fortunate to be able to work together as a community in that process."
You can download a list of Frequently Asked Questions about the vision for a new or renovated Albany High.
Driving the process is a shared understanding throughout the community of the critical need to raise achievement for all students and significantly increase Albany High's graduation rate.
Under Dr. V's leadership, the district is undergoing a major academic reorganization, focused on aligning resources and staff to support teachers and principals in their mission to help all students reach their highest potential. A new or fully renovated high school at the current location is another important element in the district's future plans. It would match the modern elementary and middle schools serving all district students since the successful completion of the facilities project at the start of this century,
"We know that new facilities alone are not the answer, and we fully recognize that we must remain mindful of what our community can afford," said Board of Education President Rose Brandon, Th.D. "But we cannot ignore the powerful message that the learning environment communicates to students, and the strong impact it can have on their educational outcomes in tandem with highly trained and highly motivated staff."
Process began with opportunities for public input
Beginning in the winter of 2012-13, the City School District of Albany, in its partnership with the community to develop a vision for the future of high school education in our city, held numerous focus groups, workshops and community forums to gather public input on what residents envision for the next generation of Albany High School.
That included the "Re-Imagining Albany High School Summit" attended by nearly 100 community members June 25, 2013 (pictured above). The summit continued the district's efforts to consider options for renewing rebuilding Albany High. Participants, including students, parents and community members, took part in interactive discussions about a variety of questions. Click here to check out photos from the summit.
The summit followed an open town hall meeting June 10 at William S. Hackett Middle School that provided about 70 participants an opportunity to ask a wide range of questions and provide feedback. The process continued with educational specification meetings Aug. 1 and Oct. 1. Thank you to all of those who have participated, and stay tuned for more opportunities to be involved in the process of re-imagining Albany High.
A community vision sought
After the May 2012 report of the ad hoc High School Facilities Advisory Committee that studied future options for Albany High School, the Board of Education approved CSArch and Turner Construction to provide leadership, educational planning, support and technical assistance to continue the process forward.
For the next 18 months, the district engaged the community in a broad conversation about how the next-generation Albany High School can best serve all of the city's students and advance the district's goal of eliminating the achievement gap and raising achievement for all students.
The district held small-group focus sessions for more than 250 parents, community members, students, staff and community leaders. The opportunities were designed to gather input on the academic, social-emotional and extracurricular needs that will be important for the district to consider as it plans for facilities that will serve the city's high school students for decades to come.

Board approves architectural, construction management partners
The City School District of Albany Board of Education has hired CSArch and Turner Construction as its architectural, engineering and construction management partners in the process to re-imagine the future of Albany High School.
"I heard from community members throughout my interview process, and have continued to hear in my first month on the job, that our city is ready for a 'new' Albany High School," Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard, Ph.D., said following the board's approval of CS Arch and Turner on Oct. 18, 2012. "Exactly what that new school will look like or how it could be designed are critical questions that only can be answered after continuing our conversations with the community.
"The board's approval of CS Arch and Turner Construction, two firms each with a wealth of experience in helping communities build school facilities that meet the needs of their students, is simply the next step in that process. We look forward to hearing from our community about how the next generation of Albany High School can best serve the needs of all of our students well into the 21st century."
The district's High School Facilities Advisory Committee studied options for a completely new or renovated Albany High during the winter and spring of 2012. The committee, made up of 38 representatives from the community, focused on the options of renovating the current high school and building a completely new high school campus. You can download that report in .pdf format.
To advance the process following the committee's May 17, 2012, report to the board, the district sent out a Request for Proposals for the architectural, engineering and construction management services during the summer and received six proposals by the Aug. 31 deadline. You can download the full RFP in .pdf format.
Transforming Albany High to provide smaller learning communities
By September 2011, Albany High School had been transformed into four academies -- physically smaller learning environments designed to help students feel connected, involved and engaged.
Each offers electives tied to its own theme; all will offer the same core classes in English, math, science and social studies. Students will take their core courses within their own academy, but can take advanced elective classes in other academies. For example, a student in Innovation Academy -- which offers advanced electives in science and technology -- will be able to take a playwriting class in the Discovery Academy, which offers advanced English electives.
What's different: themes
Each of the four academies has a theme:
Citizenship Academy -- Critical thinking and preparation for the global economy
Discovery Academy -- Communication and performing arts
Innovation Academy -- Science, technology, engineering and math
Leadership Academy -- Civic and social responsibility
Each academy has up to 600 students, its own principal, four teams of teachers and a "theme" coordinator. These smaller academies will offer more demanding coursework and extra support for all students.
History behind the changes
Four decades ago, a comprehensive high school serving all students in the City School District of Albany was the right plan at the right time. Now, times have changed.
Reorganizing Albany High has been a top priority in recent years. The process gained increased urgency in January 2010 when the State Education Department identified Albany High as a "persistently lowest-achieving" school because of the school's lagging performance in math and English language arts (ELA).
A $7.5 million federal grant bolstered the transformation of Albany High. The district continues to work with state education officials to gain financial support from the state for these efforts.

Stella's developmental optometrist views patching as a first step in amblyopia treatment. Patching (in our case, Magic tape over the lens of the stronger eye) boosts the acuity of the weaker eye. Stella's lazy eye is growing stronger, and vision therapy is more and more focused on training her eyes to work together for strong binocular fusion, in an effort to encourage stereoscopy, prevent or minimize regression and provide a lasting fix.
Stella's daily patching time now feels pretty turn-key, even though (as is my nature) I do it on the fly. She does a solid hour, at least, first thing in the morning, kicked off by some video watching. Sometimes it says on and patching is done by late morning. Sometimes patching is completed in two or three chunks. I seize opportunities strategically. If she's engrossed with a toy that demands a ton of hand-eye coordination, I'll throw on her patch to give her amblyopic eye a workout. We've got patching down! Vision therapy? Or more accurately, getting 20 to 30 solid minutes of vision therapy done at home? Still a challenge. But as her weaker eye improves, the nature of her vision therapy is changing. The latest exercises seeming to provide more improvement bang for our frustration buck. So we're trying harder than ever.
Ever since Stella's vision therapy progress evaluation which showed great gains, we've been doing a bit of what Susan Barry discusses on page 150 of Fixing My Gaze: monocular fixation in a binocular field (MFBF). This means that instead of being completely excluded via the patch, the stronger eye is merely put at a disadvantage. Her dominant eye is still able to receive and contribute visual input, allowing the eyes to work together, but the amblyopic eye is forced to do the heavy lifting. Several doctors/researchers, over several decades, have endorsed the effectiveness of this approach (Brock, Cohen and Hess for starters). Our experience with MFBF is limited but growing.
Almost every day, Stella dons a green-tinted patch over her strong eye and watches a video on our TV, the center of which is covered by a transparent red sheet. Her strong eye can't see what's in the red area thanks to the green tint, but it can still see what's going on the periphery. In order to take in all the action and view the complete picture, her un-patched amblyopic eye has to pick up the slack and garner what is usually the most important part of the scene (whatever is centered, like close-ups of facial expressions, etc.). Her eyes are working together but her weaker eye has to perform at a higher level, setting the stage for binocular fusion. This work counts as patching time, so hooray for that!

No, he wouldn't. The Dear Leader reportedly recently purged Chang and many of Chang's close associates. "If Kim Jong Il has indeed purged his brother-in-law," said Merrily Baird, the former CIA analyst with whom I spoke, "he must indeed be working in a very insecure environment."
A year ago, another powerful player died in a suspicious car accident. "When people die in car crashes, you should really wonder," Baird said. "There's so little traffic in North Korea, and there is a history of North Korean officials dying in car crashes that's very fishy."
Shortly after Fujimoto told me the tale of his genitals being shaved, I met another remarkable character who had her own special insight into the mind of the Dear Leader. Her name is Hikita Tenko—or Princess Tenko—and she is Japan's most famous illusionist, a sort of female David Copperfield. When I walk into a private suite at an expensive Tokyo hotel, she is seated at a long table wearing a long white gown, raccoonlike eyeliner, massive black eyelashes, heavy white makeup, and jewels on every finger. In a high, breathy voice, Princess Tenko explains to me that Kim Jong Il had seen videos of her illusion shows and decided she must be his.
"He saw a cartoon series of me dressed as a Wonder Woman-type figure, and he wanted to bring me to North Korea," the princess says. "When the offer came in 1998, Kim said he'd used all his networks all over the world to learn as much as possible about me." Kim also owned the entire Princess Tenko doll collection and was holding one when she arrived. "He knew basically everything about me," she says. "Even my private life—where I lived, what kind of car I drove, where my second house was."
Kim Jong Il brought Princess Tenko to party after party, and she, too, witnessed his intimidating mood swings. "He didn't act very normal at the parties," she says. "Even the way he talks—it's not like a normal person. He would suddenly become extremely angry, then extremely happy, then extremely angry again. Depending on his mood, the party members would get nervous, very nervous. If Kim Jong Il was angry, he'd break things, and they would stand very still." Kim would make special requests, too. "In one of my shows, I present myself like a superwoman," she explains. "He'd request that I wear red bondage-style outfits for the parties."
While Princess Tenko was in the North, Kim Jong Il took her passport and refused to let her leave, ordering his underlings to build her a stage near Pyongyang so, he said, she could perform for him forever. After much pleading, she was released only when she promised that she would come back to the North. "When I returned to Japan, I was frightened," she told me. "I'd never been so frightened in my life. There were several attempts to kidnap me, and I went to [North Korea's unofficial representatives in Japan] and asked them to stop this." She paused here, her eyes wide. "They said I should go back to North Korea and discuss this directly with Kim Jong Il," she said. "The last 'invitation' I got to return to the North was just five days ago."
In the winter of 2002, a North Korean officer named Ju Sung Il left his post near the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea. He traced a route to the South that he'd studied in order to avoid land mines and other deadly traps and to elude the watchful eyes of North Korean soldiers. Carefully, he picked his way through razor wire and electric fences, eventually firing shots into the air to alert the troops at the South Korean border post that he'd made it.
When I meet Ju in Seoul, he looks nothing like the desperate soldier he once was. He wears an open-neck silk shirt, his hair spiked up with gel, and carries a sleek mobile phone and talks of going to America for graduate studies. But Ju hasn't forgotten what it was like to be a soldier in the isolated North and why he left his family behind and took the enormous risk of escaping. "The North Korean government stopped paying soldiers," he tells me. "Advancement depends only on bribes. If you don't have the money to pay bribes to top military officers, you can be sent to rural areas, where even military officers starve to death." This is the future he saw for himself, and he apparently figured it was better to get gunned down trying to flee across the DMZ than to slowly starve in a corrupt country that had been lying to its oppressed citizens for years. "If North Korean people trusted Kim Jong Il," Ju says, "there would not be so many of them leaving the country."
Though he didn't know it at the time he escaped, Ju was on the leading edge of a growing wave. In the past few years, tens—maybe hundreds—of thousands of North Koreans have snuck across the more porous border with China. Once there, they see how prosperous the world has become and how bankrupt their country remains, and word of this returns home. Physical goods return home, too: cell phones, books, radios, televisions, all of which continue to destroy the long-peddled government fiction that South Korea is impoverished and the North wealthy.
"Social awareness has undergone a revolutionary change," Suh Jae Jean, one of the few South Korean scholars with access to a wide range of defectors, recently wrote. "Ideology and loyalty to the party and the leader have lost their value… As soon as North Koreans realized the fact that they were 'masters of their destiny,' they have discovered that 'God' did not provide them food and livelihood and that 'God,' in fact, was nothing but a repressive being."

Cowabunga, Dude! This New TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Clip Has Us Excited
By Merrill Barr on August 7, 2014
In just one day (or tonight, if you're into that sort of thing), Paramount will be putting its money where its mouth is with the release of the much talked about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As word slowly begins rolling in, all we normal folk can do is look to various trailers and TV spots released over the last few months to get a sense of what we'll be walking into on Friday. But now, thanks to Yahoo!, we can get a fresh look at the new movie with an all new action scene that has been released for your viewing pleasure:
The most important thing we get a sense of with this clip is the film's willingness to be funny. How the turtles, at their heart, are in fact as their name would describe, teenagers. They crack jokes, they get witty and they rap it out in an elevator right before doing some serious battling. Those are the elements we were hoping to see when we first learned of the film's green-lit production, and it looks like we got our wish in the end.
It's also really nice to have a clip featuring a little catch-phrase action. It wouldn't be a TMNT movie if Michelangelo isn't yelling out a few Cowabungas now and again, and now we know we won't be going without when this latest iteration of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hits theaters.
What do you think of the new clip? Will you be seeing the film this weekend? Let us know in the comments below.
Want more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles info? Check out Dan Casey's interview with Megan Fox and Will Arnett!
I can't believe they put out maybe the biggest laugh in the movie.
Desperate to get people to go see it.
Eastman and Laird (were they dead) would be rolling in their graves.
Well.. that was boring.
this is the second time that Nerdist has posted a video that I have posted just within the last 4 days. I'm flattered but srsly. I want royalties. Or at least a a shoutout.. dayum
I can see what they are going for. They got those few moments to gather themselves before seeing Shredder and Mikey gets them syked up. It's totally understandable. Like a fighter before they get into the ring.
You people take it way to serious. Nobody is going to bottle up your childhood and put it on big screen exactly how you want it. Just take it at face value and enjoy the movie. I am taking my son and while it may not be the Turtles I grew up with, I am going to enjoy it because he is… Cowabunga!
Finally, someone who makes sense, thank you for being rational. Some people take this way too serious and really judge this thing harsh. It isn't what I grew up with in the early 90's but it's fun and I'm sure your son will love it.
too serious*
It looks like FUN! Remember that? When you went to movies 'cuz they looked like FUN? Jeepers, relax peoples!
IGN gave it a solid 6/10 not bad right? i wont watch it in the cinema though…

Loved your comments, Ron. I think they're bang on too. Good luck "doing" social!
Probably the one thing that saves me in business, Kent, is my training in psychology. I taught me that it is so important in life to NOT go on the defensive. It never helps "win" a situation. The best thing is always to hear the other person out, take responsibility for your actions (this doesn't mean it's always your fault), and try to come to a resolution.
Remember, you can't fight with someone who isn't going to fight back. The old cliche -- you catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar -- really is true.
I agree, James. It's always important to post what your audience finds interesting and of value. Posting just to post will definitely not keep your audienced engaged.
Hi Brian, I guess it depends on what you mean by boring. Take the plumber - what about posts about fix-it tips. I know I'd come back to a site that helped me save money and it would keep the plumber front and center in my mind when I needed a professional.
The whole You Blend It campaign relied on other people uploading videos of people blending weird objects. They didn't advertise the blender, they just showed their audience what the blender could do. There are ways to be creative, even if the product is a bit less than exciting.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks, Stuart. Great idea!
Thanks for your comment, Rusty! Gald you enjoyed the article.

This is a blue ribbon recipe, one of our top-ranked of all time!
See more of Epi's bestRoasted Asparagus with Goat Cheese and Bacon Reviews
Bon Appétit | April 2001
reviews & comments (89)
I made this dish last night to accompany our steak and it was delicious. I made it as written but next time I will take the advice of another cook and drizzle a balsamic reduction over it instead of the olive oil. I made it an hour ahead and served it at room temp. but next time I might try it warm, as soon as the asparagus comes out of the oven. You can't go wrong with this recipe. Fast, easy and delicious.
Truly a great recipe, and super easy to make! Have made this a number of times and always get requests for the recipe. I normally grill the asparagus, rather than roasting in the oven - but either way is delicious.... enjoy!
Didn't have goat cheese so I substituted fresh parmesan and added some minced garlic, Yummy-- and easy to make
This is the second time I've made this recipe. The flavors come together as both smoky and bright. Incredibly easy dish that would be great for any meal...I'm thinking of throwing a poached egg on top for an all-in-one breakfast dish...Delicious!
Easy and delicious. Used "jumbo" asparagus from the farmers market and turned it into a light "supper." Because jumbo asparagus have a tough outer skin (but juicy & delicious inside), I peeled them first. Tossed with a bit of fresh thyme along with the olive oil in the roasting pan. Finished with some chopped parsley - YUM!! Will definitely make this again.
Fulfilled our requirements for a "keeper" - it's delicious, easy, and can be made ahead! We've used goat cheese as suggested, but once we used Havarti because that's all we had in the refrigerator, and it worked well too.
I make this every Christmas to go with our standing rib roast. Easy, flavorful and tasty!
This was excellent. The only thing I changed was I used just the 2 Tbs of olive oil to coat the asparagus and then left the rest off. There was plenty of oil left after roasting.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana — Fran McCaffery needed somebody to make a big play. Mike Gesell was happy to take on the responsibility.
He scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half, but it wasn't enough in No. 25 Iowa's 67-63 loss to the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday.
Gesell scored to give the Hawkeyes a 63-62 lead at the 1:18 mark Rapheal Davis scored the go ahead 3-pointer to give Purdue the lead for good.
"I think what (Gesell) did in that stretch was mix up his game," McCaffery said. "He wasn't a jump shooter, he wasn't a drive. He was both. Very proud of the fact that he recognized that somebody had to step up and give his a chance to win."
Gesell scored 10 points in a row for the Hawkeyes (13-7, 4-3) late in the second half, including a shot to make it 62-61 late in the game before he scored to take the lead.
Gabriel Olaseni finished with nine points and 16 rebounds for the Hawkeyes.
"In the second half, I was just looking to be aggressive," Gesell said. "I think we did a great job down the stretch. Davis just hit a big-time shot."
Davis scored 16 of his 24 points in the first half, and Basil Smotherman and A.J. Hammons each scored 13 points for the Boilermakers (12-8, 4-3 Big Ten), who have won two of three.
Not much has been going Iowa's way lately, starting with Tuesday's 82-50 loss at Wisconsin.
Against Purdue, the Hawkeyes played much of the game without Aaron White, who left the game with a right shoulder injury in the first half.
White said it felt like he broke his collar bone when he collided with Smotherman while going after a loose ball at the 15:48 mark.
He returned to the bench when he was knocked in the shoulder again a few minutes after returning to the game.
"I was in a lot of pain," he said. "I tried to go back in after it happened, thinking that if I got back loose it would loosen up and I could help the time. But I reached for the ball and had a popping feeling and pain down my neck, but I'll be alright."
And on Saturday, Purdue took advantage.
The Boilermakers went on an 8-1 run to jump to a 30-20 lead when Smotherman scored on a breakaway dunk with 3:19 remaining in the opening half.
They led by as many as 12 in the first half and had a 34-24 halftime lead.
"I made some baskets," Davis said. "But without (Smotherman) playing the game he did, I don't think we win."
Smotherman made a couple of free throws with under a minute to play to help keep the Boilers ahead. And after Wednesday's 66-57 loss at Illinois, he wanted to find ways to be effective.
"The practices we had after the Illinois game, we were hustling," Smotherman said. "At Illinois, we really didn't hustle. We made the hustle plays today."
He finished with six rebounds and had no problem throwing himself after loose balls, including one that sent him into the Purdue bench and another where he landed on the scorer's table.
Iowa: The Hawkeyes entered the game as the Big Ten's top offensive rebounding team with 12.7 per game. Iowa surpassed its average and totaled 15 offensive boards at the break and finished with 24 — the most since the Hawkeyes grabbed 18 against Hampton in the season opener.
Purdue: Kendall Stephens, who started 16 games this season, came off the bench after suffering a left pinkie injury in a 66-57 loss at Illinois on Wednesday. Stephens leads the Boilermakers in scoring and was a game-time decision. With the injury, Purdue used its sixth starting lineup of the season.
Iowa will host Wisconsin next Saturday.
Purdue will host rival Indiana on Wednesday.
Purdue is No. 2 in the Big Ten with 5.3 blocks a game and A.J. Hammons leads the league with 2.6. He finished with one block against Iowa and it couldn't have come at a better time. Hammons sent the ball flying when Gesell drove to the basket late in the game with a chance to give the Hawkeyes the lead.

My daughter loves me in every single way, even when I am not with her, she does not permit any one to sit in my chair, while I go back- she waits just beside the main door, gives me hugs and kisses, she calls me in various sweet names and looks for my approval for her good job. While I become sick and she notices it (though she needs to be notify first) she starts crying , Even If I act as if i am crying she really started crying .posted 06/21/2011 by Surayya1
As a full time working mom - While I go back to home - first I hug and kiss my li'l girl who is waiting next to the door. Then we pass almost one hour in our bedroom where she shares all of her daily routine with me, what good and bad things she had done that Day :-). I always try to make her know that my job and every task is to make her comfortable and thats how mummy can buy so many gifts and costumes for her little princess. During weekend I cook special dishes for her and tell her that mummy is cooking it only for her. At late night we watch together music and dance show and we do dance together. Wheneever we are together, we have a fixed play like - while I utter a sweet name (e.g. You are my heart, my soul) for her and she copy me.posted 06/21/2011 by Surayya1

I have an 11 month old daughter and from the minute she was born I have been showering her in snuggles and kisses. When she wakes up in the morning I get my goof ball face on and crawl into her room to make her laugh, I sneak up on her crib and pop up! I kiss her hands, call her beautiful and pick her up and we do our morning dance. If she does something she shouldn't be doing, we talk about it, we never yell "no!"...and we ALWAYS say "good job" and clap when she does something that shows she is growing, like walking or singing etc.. When we are out and about we keep the radio really low in the car so we can sign together or just talk, and at the local store I'm known as the woman who talks to her daughter, cause I treat her just like I would want to be treated. I love telling her about how much she matters to me and I love giving her kisses from head to toe.posted 02/04/2009 by sstewart16

.- This week the Archdiocese of Mexico City called on its citizens to make their voices heard regarding the city's increase in violence and corruption. Officials, the archdiocese said, must "address the root of the problem" by demanding attention to education, values and respect for others.
"What good is it to change the name of police forces if the corruption is internal? What help is a change in structure if there is no change in morality and ethics? Why increase the punishment of kidnappers and murderers if public officials and judges do not fulfill their most basic duties?" the news service questioned in a recent editorial.
The article acknowledged that federal officials and officers in the Mexican capital have expressed their concern over the increase in violence and have put forth proposals.
However, "They do address the root of the problem and they do not appear to understand the gravity of what we are experiencing." The article continued, "Suggestions by different officials are mainly superficial and politically 'cosmetic'." Therefore, the news service called on citizens to make their voices heard. "They should demand greater attention to the education of children and young people in family values and responsibility, in the observance of the law and in respect for others," the news service indicated.
The fight against violence, it stressed, "is the task of all, it is the commitment of the Church and the responsibility of the State, it is a requirement of all the media."

Mummified Body Discovered On Belle Isle
Tuesday, April 8, 2014
(Detroit, MI) -- Detroit authorities are investigating the death of a man whose mummified body was discovered near the abandoned Belle Isle Zoo Sunday evening. According to police, the body was found in a snow drift. A spokesperson for the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office says because of the cold, dry conditions in the drift, it limited the body's decomposition. The victim is believed to be a homeless man in his 50's, and his identity and the cause of death remains unclear at this time.


text: After being diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year I did a bit of research on ADHD and weight. What I found is that people with ADHD are significantly more likely to be overweight. The reason being is that it is hard for them to keep a schedule and so they often forget to eat. Then when their tummy is finally rumbling they impulsively grab whatever is in front of them. Or they impulsively eat period if they see something that they like. This is absolutely true for myself. Being in college and working has made it worse. By the time I have a routine down I have to change it all over again to accommodate breaks, new schedules, etc. For those of you who don't have ADHD, think of trying to tell a five year old to maintain a schedule and prepare ahead of time. Not likely to happen. I do take Ritalin which helps a lot - when I remember to take it! My symptoms have never been this pronounced before. There's something about the unstable environment of college that is really tossing me out of whack :( Does anybody else have experience with this? Tips? Advice? I'm going to do my absolute best to keep to a schedule and since I'm living with my dad while I finish school (one more year - woohoo!) I will definitely ask for his help too!

About This Project
Made this for a friend. Followed the plans from the Clara table, chairs were made from the 4 dollar stackable chair plan.
Finish was Watco Danish Dark Walnut oil, which i just discovered and love. Goes on even and isn't blotchy on pine. For the table top i added a couple coats of polyurethane.
The table was easy to make, but the chairs took quite a bit of time with the amount of slats. Also there are about 30 screw holes per chair to drill, countersink and fill with putty. I am making another set for someone else, and will probably go with a single, wide slat for the back and seat. Also I would suggest adding braces to the legs, they seem a little flimsy
