The Spiritual Atheist..
If the purpose of speech is to convey a message. And an atheist calls himself spiritual. Isn't that person misrepresenting himself by using a word that is most largely viewed to be synonymous with "soul"? Even if he himself has his own unique meaning for it (which takes a 5 minute video to understand)
Let's be honest most people hear the word spirit and think soul.. don't they?
It seems like a way of justifying for no reason. If there is a lack of a better word... make a new one. To me I find that people are kind of ridiculed or perceived in a derogatory way if they admit or "come out" with believing they do not have a soul. Like you are somehow less of a person, lacking mystery, etc.. So when someone tries to find a convoluted means of explaining why they call themselves "spiritual". I feel that they are pandering to this unfortunate misperception.
Soul is an understanding or feel for music.
Spirits is some really good booze.
I'm here to help.
Gregg, when spirits are applied to mean alcohol are they normally clear? Didn't the moonshiners used to judge the quality of the moonshine by it's transparency?
Actually many liquors are colored with caramel. They're brown.
By the way, Dragotron, I didn't mention it before, but that was an excellent video. Good job.
"No, an atheist should NOT call himself "spiritual"."
Someone should tell Sam Harris that.

Why Not Crowdsource Oil Disaster Cleanup Ideas?
12:39 pm in Uncategorized by Michael Whitney
Since the start of the response to BP's oil disaster, the company and government have solicited suggestions from the public for ideas to stop the gusher, cleanup oil, or otherwise improve the current cleanup operations.
Today Thad Allen announced the creation of a new working group to filter and evaluate the more than 20,000 ideas already submitted:
The Interagency Alternative Technology Assessment Program workgroup, newly established by the National Incident Commander for the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, announced here Friday a new effort to collect and review oil spill response solutions from scientists and vendors.
The IATAP and the RDC will screen and triage submissions based on technical feasibility efficacy and deployability. This will be a federal process to ensure a fair, systematic, responsive and accountable review of alternative response technologies by interagency experts.
The IATAP workgroup, established by Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander, includes the U.S. Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Interior, Minerals Management Service, Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Agriculture.
The Deepwater Horizon Response website reports that of the 20,000+ ideas submitted, 100 have been selected for further review by a team of 30 experts. It's unclear if only 100 have been set aside because 19,900 ideas sucked, or if there's no manpower to read through all the ideas.
Either way, there may be a better, more efficient solution. There are clearly hundreds of people with expertise on all parts of the disaster unfolding in the Gulf. Some are on this very blog, and there are dozens of oil experts crowding the comments at The Oil Drum blog and elsewhere online.
Why not set up a website with all of the submitted ideas and allow the public to evaluate proposals? The government (or BP, or whoever's in charge today) can display the submissions and supporting information, sort by type of idea, and establish set criteria for the evaluations to be filtered, and then let the best ideas as determined go up for further review to whaetever experts the government determines.
Crowdsourcing these ideas will rapidly accelerate the review process, empower people online to help with the response, and let the public see what's in the 20,000+ submitted ideas.
At the very least, the government can release the submissions, and some enterprising developer or organization can build the infrastructure to allow for review of the documents.

Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) is suddenly in high demand. His banishment is over, his rehabilitation almost complete. Several years after acknowledging his "very serious sin," he has successfully adopted a higher profile in the divided U. S. Senate.
Vitter is teaming up with Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), the chamber's leading environmental advocate, to shore up levees and beach fronts from flood risk. He is working with one of the financial industry's biggest thorns, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), on the latest bill targeting mega-banks and their "too big to fail" status. When he's not working across party lines, Vitter is throwing his increased seniority around in stronger ways: Last week he vowed to block President Obama's nominee for Labor secretary until the administration releases documents about voting rights issues in Louisiana.

Is she laying on that GM, or just perching? |
- Posted by Leafhead none (email@example.com) on Mon, Apr 15, 13 at 14:07
What a money shot of a gorgeous Butterfly. But my advice, pull that nasty Garlic Mustard and plant Wild Ginger, which has allelotoxic properties to GM's long seed banking abilities. Maybe try some Aristolochia fimbriata c it?(same family, same results?) That lovely Spring Azure would most likely lay on a hardwood, such as a Dogwood or Spirea in the neighborhood. |

We have 35 acres and are in our 60's. Our main bad guy is bush honeysuckle, which has taken over our entire property. We tried to stay ahead of it, but just can't. We don't use chemicals either. Now its the garlic mustard, which is lots easier to pull......but there's just too much of it. Then there's the brambles, thistle, etc., etc. So.......I guess at this point we're just trying to appreciate that there might be no fighting evolution......... I'm thinking we should at least eat the garlic mustard?? :) Leafhead.....I think she's just perching........but it would be great if various beautiful butterlifes would use these stupid invasives as host plants! Then there would be something good come out of them. |

Garlic mustard pesto is delicious! It was brought over as a salad herb. Use it early though. It can get too strong later in the summer. Cheers, Elisabeth |

Cutting it before it blooms yields a more tender vegetable and keeps this menace from going to seed. They are best if harvested right after they bolt. There is also a recipe for Japanese Knotweed and Apple Pie. And if you have Burdock on your property, their roots can be cooked like Yuca. Eat the weeds! they're tasty!! |
- Posted by catherinet 5 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 19, 13 at 8:35
Hmmm..........sounds like it can be pretty tasty! Good to know. |

I love this perfume and it's been the only perfume I've used continuously since 2002.
It is a sexy perfume and I have had many comments on it even from strangers, asking what perfume I'm wearing as they love it.
It dries to an almost 'lolly' scent on my skin and smells warm and cosy.
Every couple of weeks I try different perfumes at the counters to see if I like anything, but nothing compares to me.
I don't think I'll ever get sick of this perfume.

This was the very first "adult" fragrance I fell in love with, waaaay back when I was about 17. I had that "OH!" reaction. To my suprise, I've never gotten sick of it, but perhaps that's because I haven't overdone it by wearing it constantly. I regard this strictly as a Night fragrance. It's far too strong for the office, and the staying power is formidable. But going out all glammed up at night I give myself a conservative two squirts and I love smelling myself all night long. I'm no good at describing perfumes - all that "top note" and "fade down" business - so I'll leave that to the other reviews. Suffice to say that I've always found this to be quite distintive and recogniseable, which I think classic scents should be. I've often smelt this on the street on women walking past me - that distinctive sexy, fruity, joyous scent. There are few other scents that one would recognise that immediately, especially these days, when companies are churning out scents on a conveyor belt. Though the search continues for my HG "office" scent - I can see myself wearing this after dark for the rest of my life.

Delicious! This has a light champagne, almost boozy, note in the beginning that is more wonderful than it sounds. It changes over time and is wonderful at every stage.
WARNING: I bought mine over the internet, but I tried it out again at Sephora and I was horrified to find that it was awful and smelled nothing like what I had. What happened was that Sephora stored the tester bottle next to hot lights and over time it ruined the fragrance. Shield your bottles from the heat and light!

This fragrance is incredible. It is sweet, warm, feminine bliss. It is so well blended and smooth. It dries down to a wonderful ambery vanilla unlike any other vanilla. I prefer the edt to the edp which is a bit flatter. I love what a reviewer says below - "this is classically feminine, though definitely with a sexy, passionate base." I would not change a thing on this one. Perfection.

I like this better than the EDP, it has a little more of a soapy, clean note than the EDP which just smells a little dirty to me. But they both have that day-old perfume smell to my nose, a sour note that I remember from Lucky You and Dream Angels Heavenly. I think of the EDP as morning-after sexy, when you know you had a wild night but now you just want to go home and shower. I probably would have loved it when I was 21.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium Eyes: Hazel
Starts off with a zing, then fades to a 'minor chord' of citrus that somehow has an almost chypre-ish feel. Very gradually settles into a sweetish, semi-heady floral with a touch of soapiness - not exactly what comes to mind when I imagine 'sex in a bottle', but each to their own. Staying power was indeed good like many others have said. Not a bad scent, but on my skin it doesn't quite seem to live up to its full potential. The bottle, which I adored when it was first released, seems cliche' to me now, and I really can't stand that can, either. I think Classique is worth a try, I can see how it can be delightful on some - but as for me, no sale.

It smells expensive. Similar to Addict, but better (I guess because the edt wasn't so overpowering). I really wanted to like it, unfortunately it's just not me, totally different from my personality. And if I wear heavier, more oriental scents I like to smell the vanilla most, like in Hypnotic Poison, bacuse it's more comforting to me.

Still my absolute favorite perfume!! I've tried so many in the past - Chanels, Bvlgari's, Guerlains, Creeds, Bond New Yorks, etc. - you get the picture. But this fragrance has always been my stand-by. The only formulation that I like however, is the EDT. I find that it has more of an effervescent, lighter quality to it and accentuates the ginger note more so than in the EDP, which I find to be a bit too cloying and boozy for me. The initial spray of the EDT can be pretty powerful, but after about 20 mins or so, it dries down so nicely to a semi-sweet, semi-spicy, gingery floral-oriental. I usually wear this all year round - in the summer, 1 spray will do...and you still get a really nice waft of this fragrance during the day. I also get so many compliments on this fragrance from both men and women. Will always be re-purchasing a bottle. :)

I've had this since december last year as a christmas gift. I thought the smell was fantastic and can't get enough of it. I still use this regularly and people always say that I smell really really good, makes them want to be around me :) The packaging is really cute! I use it more in the fall and winter time, I use it slightly during the summer only because I don't wanna spend any money for summer fragrances and thus I'm still loving my classique JPG. voila! The smell stays all day long!!

I have a 2/3 year old swisher zero turn mower model zt2452a. I was cutting grass 2 days ago and the grass was high and wet. The blades started to bog down and the blades stop turning. Now the pto will not turn on . There is a very poor schematic in owners manual That I cant make out. I looked on the mower and found a 30 amp fuse and tested it and its fine.Any thoughts on what to check next ? Thanks Roger |

I have only had this mower about 3 years and it sits out side year around , but get covered in winter. Thanks again BG and Bill |

Wonderful stay of 8 nights. Despite a mess up of my booking from Expedia, Debbie accommodated me and helped a lot. She is such a bubbling personality with warm heart, it feels like home away from home. Rooms were clean and cozy, shared bathrooms always available (never had to wait). Healthy breakfast (me being vegetarian I had only cereals, bread, fruit and juice but Debbie was making bacon, eggs & pancake for others with great gusto and passion). Wonderful place to experience.

Debbie McLain was a thoughtful and accommodating hostess who contributed immensely to the wonderful weekend I had in Brooklyn recently. Listening to Eric Lemon was a master class in the history of jazz in Bedford-Stuyvesant and then to be thrilled by the music of the master musicians they assemble was simply magic. Looking forward to my next stay!

Visiting daughter who lives a 10 minute walk away from this lovely historic brownstone. 2 blocks from the subway. Very convenient to Manhattan on express train. Comfortable twin beds in large room on top floor - we got the last room so no double was available. Sink in room. Large full shared bathroom. Be prepared to get to know your housemates while waiting for a delicious, filling breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed the other guests in this relaxed setting. Or have cereal and fruit before if you have to get out early. But if you want to relax you won't regret it. Our hostess asked for our preferences our first morning and was very accommodating (turkey bacon instead of pork & lactaid milk). We felt safe in the neighborhood at all times. Though the block is somewhat dark at night it is only one block off of two very busy street/intersection. Jazz on Friday and Saturday with top artists until around midnight. Friday includes a fish fry. Unfortunately we couldn't attend on either night, but from what we could tell they were exceptional artists and a lively well-behaved audience. If you don't want to hear the muffled sounds of top notch jazz artists, then get a room in the back. So exciting to stay in an authentic historic building! We would definitely stay here again.

I left with my heart and soul full. My husband and I stayed at this gem of a place. We were in town to see The Raisin In The Sun. It was my first time in NYC and I wanted my first experience to be authentic and away from the "tourist" feel of NYC. Debbie and Sankofa Aban did not disappoint and exceeded my expectation. From the brownstone itself to the corner pastry/coffee shop on the corner. For me it was such a connection to Debbie and Sankofa Aban. This connection, particularly to the brownstone and the history behind, was so real to me. We stayed in the Retreat Room and it was simply lovely. We meet a lovely Parisan couple who live in England and another young lady who hailed from Canada. It still resonates in my soul the richness and authenticity of our stay. I want to thank Debbie, Spencer (who waited for us on our 1st day) and just simply everyone for the genuine warmth and love sent our way. We will definitely be back.

This place was wonderful. Being from New Orleans, this was the perfect place. It is just a block from the subway, plenty of parking, the food was wonderful (especially the fried fish on Saturday night), and the owner was amazing. The place was warm and inviting. There was a Jazz performance on Saturday night with drinks and a wonderful Crepe shop down the street. The bed was not the most comfortable, but everything else more than made up for it. We will definitely be visiting here the next time we make a trip to NYC.
Innkeeper Response
Hi, I'm just taking a moment out to look over some past reviews.
I'm very happy to have helped in your enjoying probably a much deserved, though out vacation. In doing so, there should never be a concern on whether the bed would be of comfort in a BnB. So, please if anyway at all I could be made aware of which room had a uncomfortable bed needing to be addressed, I'd like to take care of it. I have said before and will say again, our mattress sets are of some of the best on the market. High quality brands. Still there maybe something I'm unaware of I can do to assure a more restful night. We're not perfect, but I don't mine working at it. Thanks for choosing Sankofa Aban BnB.

Lovely brownstone and owner was both warm and friendly. She was more than happy to provide us with needed information about restaurants and public transportation in the area. Room was very comfortable and spacious next to a shared bathroom that was always available to us. Breakfast was good but sparce with one entree the first day and out to a neighborhood restaurant for breakfast the second day which we enjoyed. Wash cloths were not available until requested and room was not serviced after the first night (bed was not made upon our return). We thoroughly enjoyed the jazz and fish fry in the evening as well as the warm hospitality during our stay.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for your time in giving this review. I certainly appreciate being given the opportunity of clearing up misunderstanding of how we operate. I see that you felt that breakfast was not enough by your standards, but please understand that we are simply a Home-Style Inn we are not a Hotel with a restaurant, with different dishes to choose from. Since I'm the cook it is easier to cook one main dish everyone usually can enjoy together. There is always fruit, and cereal in the Dining Room. This is why I treat my guest to a special Breakfast Outings at the neighborhood Crepe Shop. Not just any neighborhood coffee shop, but actually a authentic French Crepe Shop. Specialty Coffee, Teas, and Pastries. We also have a policy here not to enter rooms, unless asked by the guests. We respect privacy, unless it is absolutely necessary to enter. Plus there is a small extra charge for Room Service not included in rates. Everyone does not need to have that service and should not be charged up front, for such. Also, wash clothes have been known to be a laundry waste being placed in rooms. The small clothes are usually not used by our guest. We give once they're requested. I am glad that you were able to find some enjoyment on your short stay, and hopefully one day you might chance a longer stay. Till then keep enjoying life in Bed and Breakfast.com, BnB's.

We moved in to a new house a few months ago and there is a tree that we don't recognize in the backyard. It's been trimmed very aggressively and I don't know if it's sick or if is supposed to grow this way. Any ideas? I'm in the East Bay, in Northern California. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I can't tell what it is but it looks like crap mainly because they topped it and it's not responding very well. I would take it out. You can do much better. |
Probably an ash Fraxinus. Ditto to remove that truly dreadful hatrack job. Resin |
If karma catches up with whoever did that, they're in for some real pain! |
I'm going to have a professional take a look at it. I wish I would have asked the previous owners why they had it cut like this. It's really a shame. Thanks. |
"I wish I would have asked the previous owners why they had it cut like this." I can tell you with certainty, but they might not be able to. They did it because they didn't have a clue as to what they were doing. |
Agree with Resin on the Fraxinus. And with everyone else on the butchery. |
Since the pruning is uneven it might have been damaged by drought, pathogens or pests before being cut back, in response to the damage. |

I'm going to have a professional take a look at it. ==>> very frankly.. thats a waste of money.. presuming you would have to pay for such hire an INSURED guy with a chainsaw .... and get rid of it ... get 3 estimates.. and insist on INSURANCE .... [BTW.. thats 3 FREE opinions.. lol] .... they did that.. because it was improperly planted.. too close to the house.. and was probably dropping large dead branches on the house ... what more do you need to know ... be done with it ... ken |

Another mystery tree on my property. Actually it might not be my property.. could belong to the neighbor to the left of me; the property markers aren't obvious in the woods. Anyway, it looks like a pink dogwood, maybe. It's sort of intertwined with another tree with vines all over it, so I couldn't get a full picture; just the branches and the flowers. Any clues? |

Looks to me like some sort of plum, perhaps Prunus x blireiana. It is definitely in that family (Rosaceae) and these are some of the earliest blooming of the flowering trees - in full bloom right now in my area. |
Here is a link that might be useful: flowering plum image
Yes, might even be a peach which is in the same genus as plum. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Prunus persica, peach, flower
Hybrid almond (Prunus x persicoides). |
- Posted by garden2garden z8 FL (My Page) on Mon, Mar 17, 14 at 16:15
Perhaps another possibility, the wild crabapples that bloom in the early spring around here are the same color bloom. They have long dark stamens and long thorns on the branches. Hard (for me anyway) to tell those details from the pic. |
It's not a Malus. A Prunus as suggested. |
The dominant cultivar of P. x persicoides in the US is 'Hall's Hardy'. How it may differ from P. x persicoides 'Pollardii' is not clear. The former is sold as an almond tree but has hybrid characteristics - notice for instance in the above photo the peach pink coloring present in the flowers. |

Shirtless Patrick Schwarzenegger Hits South Beach In Style
A shirtless Patrick Schwarznegger flaunts what his father gave him while celebrating spring break on Sunday.
Patrick Schwarzenegger said goodbye to his shirt and hello to South Beach on Sunday as his epic spring break continued to heat up.
The 19-year-old cutie was photographed walking the beaches of Miami with a group of his friends, before heading into the Atlantic Ocean to cool off for a bit.
Schwarzenegger, who is the son of actor-politician Arnold and journalist Maria Shriver, was later spotted getting up close and personal with a mystery blonde, who has already won the award for this week's Luckiest Girl on the Planet.
See photos of Patrick's fun in the sun in the gallery, above.
Schwarzenegger is currently a student at the University of Southern California. He enrolled in 2012.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) held a press conference at Kaufman Astoria Studio on Friday to cut through some legal red tape surrounding the construction of the studio's gate.
In movies (and TV shows like "Sex and the City" when Carrie visits LA), when actors drive up to a production studio they first stop at an entry gate. An official checks their IDs and then they are motioned in.
In Astoria, Kaufman Astoria Studios is ready to build an iconic gate on the corner of 36th Street closing the street between 34th and 35th avenues. It will be the state's first outdoor studio lot, which will allow production companies to film exterior and special effects.
The project got the go ahead from the National Park Service, which deeded the land to the city for the purpose of building the studio in the 20s. But recently the studio decided to make some design changes, such as putting the production company's name on top of the gate and make the look more industrial, Schumer said.
So in light of the design change, the NPS requested Kaufman go back through the whole approval process.
"The decision to wait on the project makes no sense," Schumer said.
The added review process could push construction back three to four months and cost thousands of jobs, according to Schumer.
"This industry has been incredibly important to grow jobs," Kaufman Astoria Studios President Hal Rosenbluth said.

NETGEAR Delivers New Connectivity Solutions For Homes And Growing Businesses At MedPi Trade Show
MONACO, May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR) ( www.netgear.com), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, is highlighting its diverse suite of connectivity solutions for the "smart" home and growing businesses at the MedPi trade show ( www.medpi.com) taking place in Monaco from May 14-17. NETGEAR will be located in booth G33 of the Banque Magnetique Village (espace Ravel) in Monte Carlo's Grimaldi Forum.
"Our broad range of WiFi, powerline, storage and media networking products on display at MedPi is a testament to NETGEAR's seventeen years of championing connectivity to make your life easier, in your home as well as your workplace," said David Henry, NETGEAR's vice president of product management for retail business.
Extending Internet Access to Electrical OutletsAt MedPi, NETGEAR is launching the Powerline 500 Nano PassThru 1-Port (XAVB5401), a new-generation 500 Mbps product designed to deliver affordability while maintaining an extremely high level of performance and quality. It offers easy, plug-and-play setup and extends your Internet access to any electrical outlet, supporting faster speeds perfect for demanding applications such as HDTV, multiple HD/3D video streams, streaming multimedia and multiplayer gaming. Compliant with HomePlug® AV and IEEE1901 standards, the Powerline 500 Nano PassThru includes one Ethernet port to connect any Ethernet-enabled device such as HDTVs, HD set-top boxes, HD/3D videos, Blu-ray™ players, DVRs, PCs or game consoles to your home network and the Internet. The compact, elegant design includes an extra filtered power outlet so you can connect the powerline device directly into the wall socket but still have space to plug in a power strip for all your home office or home theater devices. More information is at www.netgear.fr.
You can see Powerline devices such as the XAVB5401 on your network through NETGEAR genie®, a free app that enables home users to control, monitor, repair and manage their home networks easily through a simple, elegant dashboard. With a new Powerline Network MAP, you can measure the speed between Powerline devices and customize the device settings. NETGEAR customers can download the utility at http://www.netgear.com/genie.
Making Storage Easy via New ReadyNAS ModelsNETGEAR recently introduced a new portfolio of ReadyNAS® networked-attached-storage (NAS) products ( www.netgear.com/readynas) which run on the newly developed ReadyNAS OS 6. These revolutionary devices are built on a custom platform designed as "storage made easy" for both the home and small to medium-sized businesses (SMB), and support a rich set of embedded and downloadable applications available from the NETGEAR genie+™ marketplace ( https://genie.netgear.com/). Once again, NETGEAR is taking features and capabilities previously available only from expensive, large-enterprise vendors and lowering the cost while dramatically simplifying deployment and manageability to provide affordable, powerful, and reliable NAS storage.- The entry level ReadyNAS 100 Series (RN102xx, RN104xx) is designed for home use, and comes in two-bay and four-bay desktop models that are offered as either diskless or populated with drives.
- The ReadyNAS 300 Series (RN312xx, RN314xx, RN316xx) is optimized for small business networks and remote or branch office needs, but can also provide an extremely high level of performance to any high tech user. It offers two-bay, four-bay, and six-bay desktop versions that are either diskless or populated with drives.
- The six-bay ReadyNAS 500 Series (RN516xx) offers the highest performance and is designed for small to medium sized business networks supporting up to 250 concurrent users, and also comes as diskless or populated desktop models with drives.
- The recently introduced R6250 Smart WiFi Router is designed for customers who want the best possible 802.11ac WiFi performance but don't feel the need to have the fastest 802.11n WiFi performance in the 2.4 GHz band. It is powered by a dual-core 800 MHz engine to enable combined WiFi connections at Gigabit speeds up to 1600 Mbps* (300 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz 802.11n + 1300 Mbps @ 5 GHz 802.11ac). It also has a new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port, capable of transferring data from your hard drive up to 10 times faster than a USB 2.0 interface.
- The D6200 WiFi Modem Router with built-in ADSL2+ modem creates a high-speed Internet gateway with approximate combined WiFi speeds up to three times faster than 802.11n at 1167 Mbps* (300 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz 802.11n + 867 Mbps @ 5 GHz 802.11ac), ideal for larger homes with multiple devices. Advanced features include ReadySHARE® Cloud, which enables remote access to a USB hard drive.

BIG BEAR, Calif. (AP) - The extraordinary manhunt for the former Los Angeles police officer suspected of three murders converged Tuesday on a mountain cabin where authorities believe he barricaded himself inside, engaged in a shootout that killed a deputy and then never emerged as the home went up in flames.
A single gunshot was heard from within, and a charred body was found inside.
If the man inside proves to be Christopher Dorner, as authorities suspect, the search for the most wanted man in America over the last week would have ended the way he had expected - death, with the police pursuing him.

Law enforcement officers check a vehicle at a roadblock Tuesday near Big Bear, Calif.
Thousands of officers had been on the hunt for the former Navy reservist since police said he launched a campaign to exact revenge against the Los Angeles Police Department for his firing.
"Enough is enough. It's time for you to turn yourself in. It's time to stop the bloodshed," LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said at a press conference held outside police headquarters in Los Angeles.
A short time after Smith spoke Tuesday, smoke began to rise from the cabin in the snow-covered woods near Big Bear Lake, a resort town about 80 miles east of Los Angeles. Flames then engulfed the building - images that were broadcast on live television around the world. TV helicopters showed the fire burning freely with no apparent effort to extinguish it.
"We have reason to believe that it is him," said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cynthia Bachman, adding that she didn't know how the fire started. She noted there was gunfire between the person in the cabin and officers around the home before the blaze began.
Until Tuesday, authorities didn't know whether Dorner was still near Big Bear Lake, where they found his burned-out pickup last week.
Around 12:20 p.m. Tuesday, deputies got a report of a stolen pickup truck, authorities said. The location was directly across the street from where law enforcement set up their command post on Thursday and not far from where Dorner's pickup was abandoned. The owner of the vehicle taken Tuesday described the suspect as looking similar to Dorner.
A warden for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife traveling down Highway 38 recognized a man who fit Dorner's description traveling in the opposite direction. The officer pursued the vehicle and there was a shooting at 12:42 p.m. in which the wildlife vehicle was hit numerous times and the suspect escaped on foot after crashing his truck.
After holing up in the cabin, there was a second gunbattle with San Bernardino County deputies, two of whom were shot. One died and the other was expected to live after undergoing surgery.
The man believed to be Dorner never came out of the cabin, and a single shot was heard inside before the cabin was engulfed in flames, a law enforcement official said.
That official later said a charred body was found in the burned cabin.
Dorner's anger with the department dated back at least five years, when he was fired for filing a false report accusing his training officer of kicking a mentally ill suspect.

Terry McAuliffe on TechnologyDemocratic nominee for Governor; previously DNC Chair | |
There is more I will do as Governor to improve our transportation system. First and foremost, I will provide more leadership as Governor on transportation planning. Rather than a laundry list approach that leaves us with dozens of projects competing for time and attention, I will lay out clear priorities.
Second, we need to incentivize regional planning and implementation of smart growth planning. Some of our transportation issues aren't the result of bad roads or transit systems; they're the result of improper or poorly planned development.
Performance-Based Government
The strong anti-government sentiments of the early 1990s have subsided, but most Americans still think government is too bureaucratic, too centralized, and too inefficient.
In Washington and around the country, a second round of �reinventing government� initiatives should be launched to transform public agencies into performance-based organizations focused on bottom-line results. Many public services can be delivered on a competitive basis among public and private entities with accountability for results. Public-private partnerships should become the rule, not the exception, in delivering services. Civic and voluntary groups, including faith-based organizations, should play a larger role in addressing America�s social problems.
When the federal government provides grants to states and localities to perform public services, it should give the broadest possible administrative flexibility while demanding and rewarding specific results. Government information and services at every level should be thoroughly �digitized,� enabling citizens to conduct business with public agencies online.

Fabric Definitions
Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable, and if cared for properly, will be long lasting.
Sateen: Sateen fabric has a soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface. Sateen fabrics are most often made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens can be produced in light and heavy weights, and are ideal for bedding.

ISConnects: Social Sculpting: Art Shapes Life Shapes Room
on February 13, 2015 from 12:30-1:30PM. Join artist Chloë Bass as she explores the idea of social sculpture. Originally coined by artist Joseph Beuys, social sculpture is a way of structuring art's ability to transform society. Part lecture, part participatory performance, this event will ask its audience to restructure their own immediate environment by shifting relationships between action and observation as a way to explore a room. This event is free and open to the public. To reserve your seat, contact the ISC Events Department at
or (609) 689-1051 x302.
Chloë Bass is a conceptual artist based in Brooklyn, NY. She focuses on the co-creation of performances, situations, installations, and publications, all dedicated to deep questioning of the everyday. Her upcoming project,
The Book of Everyday Instruction
, is an investigation into one-on-one social interaction. Other recent projects have included
The Department of Local Affairs
(a project on how we build place through behavior), and
The Bureau of Self-Recognition
(how what we do shapes who we are). Chloë was the 2014 Bed-Stuy Create Change Resident for the Laundromat Project and the 2014 Honorary Fellow in Utopian Practice for Culture Push. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, the Neuberger Museum, the James Gallery at CUNY Graduate Center, Momenta Art, and Künstlerhaus Stuttgart. Her recent writing has been published in Art in America and Hyperallergic. Chloë has guest lectured at various institutions, including the Queens Museum of Art, Parsons School of Design, Sothebys Institute, and Brooklyn College CUNY. You can learn more at
