No Joke
Regarding Eric Dexheimer's "Statue of Limitations," in the September 27 issue:
"Comic" is not the word. "Despicable" is closer.
Bigotry: Calling Jon Dickerson "curly"; rubbing the top of his head; saying "Do your black thing" and "black men [are] better hung"; giving an ape statue; withholding leads. They say he "didn't have a very good sense of humor," but these things are not funny and do not create an atmosphere of humor. They are cruel, cutting and inexcusable; a sleazy attempt at covering up underhanded, defensive weakness.
"A team-oriented and laughter-filled environment"? Not when the staff was not supportive, not if "the whole place went silent" and "several employees came up and apologized." A joke is only funny if both people are laughing. If only one person is laughing, it is ridicule.
Ridicule is vicious.

The Tie That Binds
You know, I was reading along, enjoying Bill Gallo's "Jerry's Kids," his September 27 review of Tie-Died: Rock 'n Roll's Most Deadicated Fans. He had me smiling and chuckling as I was relating to his descriptions. But then the last two lines came along--bummer; crash and burn. Bill writes: "Now that it's over, what Tie-Died really shows us is a lost tribe in the making. By most standards, that's also a tragedy in the making."
Oh, Bill, the dreariness! Don't be pasting your own negativism onto the happening.
Jerry and company founded a new tribe in this society. He may have been a main catalyst and a major center of gravity, but there is so much more. Jerry has passed on, but the people, the spirit and the music have a life of their own. The tribe will continue, the music will continue, and the faith in something better than this self-obsessed earth-battering materialistic paradigm we're trapped in will also continue.
Skeptics will never see it. So what--it's still out here. Like the song says, "Keep Truckin'."

( 1 Kings 12:11 ). Variously administered. In no case were the stripes to exceed forty ( Deuteronomy 25:3 ; Compare 2 Corinthians 11:24 ). In the time of the apostles, in consequence of the passing of what was called the Porcian law, no Roman citizen could be scourged in any case ( Acts 16:22-37 ). (See BASTINADO .) In the scourging of our Lord ( Matthew 27:26 ; Mark 15:15 ) the words of prophecy ( Isaiah 53:5 ) were fulfilled.
The punishment of scourging was common among the Jews. The instrument of punishment in ancient Egypt, as it is also in modern times generally in the East, was usually the stick, applied to the soles of the feet --bastinado. Under the Roman method the culprit was stripped, stretched with cords or thongs on a frame and beaten with rods. (Another form of the scourge consisted of a handle with three lashes or thongs of leather or cord, sometimes with pieces of metal fastened to them. Roman citizens were exempt by their law from scourging.)

What Are Korean Kissing Rooms & Are They Cool?
By Tom Miller
According to the YonHap News (I know you're familiar with that outlet), Korean law enforcement bros have been busting up brothels left, right, center and behind since a statute was passed in 2004 banning sex for money as an occupation. Read: Korean Court Rules Against Going Dutch
Industries are a little like sharks. They have to keep moving and eating seals and surfers else they'll sink and starve, respectively. And no industry is more adept at evolving than prostitution (with the possible exception of the X-Men). It's fought legislation, moral posturing and various maladies of the bathing suit region.
Prostitution purveyor have been disguising their operations as massage parlors, karaoke dens and, sometimes, housekeeping services (if my knowledge of 1970s porn is accurate). But Johnny Law (also known as Jin-y Law on the Peninsula below the 38th parallel) is hip to those ruses. So, Korean bordello-owners/operators have started a little thing called Kissing Rooms. Read: 10 Surprising Facts About Kissing
The Kissing Room is an establishment wherein a chap pays a gal to plant a nice wet one on his grill. Evidently, the smooching and tongue tennis is as far as the physicality is supposed to go (though who has ever had a make-out sesh with someone that didn't include a little grinding and light but respectful groping?). Authorities are worried that these lip-locks will lead to something more illicit. Read: Korean? Male? Need a Wife? Try Vietnam.

Justafriend, perhaps you could specifically articulate exactly how and why this gun is needed as evidence.
"...but now I not only have to fear the criminals, I have to fear the "law-abiding" CC group as well."
This is THE ESSENCE of liberal thought. Our Milwaukee liberals would rather give equal value to a criminal and a citizen following law with C&C then focus on the fact that an armed felon was stopped from robbing and haring a store full of people.
Flynn would rather lose a THIRD case to this guy rather then return his property to him. This stopped being about a "firearm" the minute there were no charges filed against the man. It stopped being evidence against him at that very point. The gun certainly is not evidence in the trial of the criminal who got shot, as evidence in that trial will focus on the criminals actual crime of that day.
mysterylady focuses 100% of her wrath at the victim of this felony robbery, to the point that she wants HIM to be charges with felony. Not one peep from her on the actual criminal, and the dozens of people that were saved from being harmed by this criminal.
mysterylady IS liberal thought!!-
What's even funnier is that "mysterylady" is no lady, & owns guns.
Yet she's anti-self-defense. -
Sorry lammy. Your wrath toward me is unfocused. I just expect that if/when you open fire on someone committing a crime, you do so in a manner that is far more responsible than endangering the life & limb of other innocent bystanders. A grocery checkout lane is by nature a confined space. There were also other customers to be aware of. If the robber had fired back-and, yes, I know he didn't- the outcome would have been very different.
Use of a dangerous weapon should not preclude using one's head.
And then his posting on facebook that he is hero is a bit over the top, no? -
but you make no sense at all when you view a criminal, and a person using their legally held firearm to stop someone in the commision of a felony, as a parallel equal.
I learned that in low level logic classes in college. Regardless of political leaning, there is a logical misstep in how you compare a criminal to a non-criminal in equal terms.
That is unhinged liberalism 101....you ignore facts and reality to setup your own false premise which is that there is no difference between the criminal and the victim. Those are not my words, they are your words.
Justafriend has no idea what they are talking about. It would be best to just chuckle through his commnents and move on to the next without much brain effort.
Nazir's gun WAS NOT USED IN A CRIME, for anyone out there who wants the facts behind this story.
Hatred of pro-gun laws does tend to make the libs get unhinged, case in point with Justafriend. -
Hey, Justafriend:
"For the fourth time, Al-Mujaahid has gone to court to regain possession of a firearm held by the police"
This is the SECOND sentence from the story.
So, no, the DA is NOT holding the gun. The MPD is. -
If this is the case I would urge citizens to purchase two or three guns so we can be protected while the police & DA play politics.
If the MPD want's it so bad, let them pay up and settle out of court, tahe the money and buy a new Kimber 45... http://www.kimberamerica.com/1911
There should be enough for a good dinner to boot. -
E V I D E N C E ......I don't understand what this goof doesn't realize. .....he will get it back when the trial/case is concluded
It's not illegal for a criminal to get shot. SO Nazir should get his gun back. The D.A is not prosecuting the robber for getting shot. The MPD does not need the gun as evidence at all. They are just playing dictator. But libs love dictators.
So if someone robs your home, you are to move out right away and not come back until the robber finishes his court case? In the mean time, you must keep making payments ,while squatters destroy and poop all over your house. Freaking amazing how stupid liberals are. THE DA is not charging the Aldi store robber with getting shot.
That's liberal logic for you!
The workers at MPD seized property division on 26th and Wisconsin already have plans for his pistol. After 90 days they get to keep seized items but they say that they were destroyed. They said they destroyed 6000 rds of my friends ammo. How did they do that you say? It all went to the MPD range or somebody'5 home. Somebody has dibbs on that kimber already.
And why did they take his stuff?
A pending Felony for cutting trees on fed property. They took all guns and ammo but only gave the guns back after all the charges were dropped
Odd that they took ammo.

Kailua-Kona, HI, United States | Member Since 2009
"Come stay at the H.P.Lovecraft Apartments."
in the top 13.
The here, a great every-man. I pictured John Cusack.
Yes. Well, sometimes I don't dig how he does "woman" voices. but, I love most of his work, he has an amazing range…from young dudes, to German Landlords, to 80 year old women. Wow… that's not easy to pull off, but he makes each one different. Just some of his women are … ah… too "cute" sounding (?). This is a good solid performance and didn't get in the way of the story at all.
This is a good "Edge-of-your-seat-Jeepers Creepers This can't be happening and what's gonna happen next" adventure story. Real page turner. Extremely inventive.
The only disappointment is when we are finally lead to the ultimate grasping of exactly just what is REALLY going on, and our hero comes face to us "face" with the "Thing-That-Cannot-Be", I wished he would have had a little bit more exotic way of describing the thing that you cannot disc rib with-out going insane. "Squale"? No, no. This was the only part where I wish Peter Clines had been a little more "Lovecraft" in his writing. The creatures from the other dimension: their meaningless form is so alien to our senses, that gazing upon these "things" would have certainly been the death of anyone. The monsters are "One of those who walk behind the stars". It needed to be described as really heavy duty scary other world stuff… I think the author could not have laid it on thick & heavy enough at that point, since the build up to discovery had been so great. So when they kinda' just "deal" with it, called it a squid-whale… well, I was a tad disappointed.
"Pacific Rim in the Grimnoir world!"
Yes, it's a great part of the Grimnoir history/world.
To see an aged Japanese Iron Guard, older and a little bit weary of the world, inter act with Jake's son almost as a new father figure - it was very amusing. But I really almost hoped he was gonna stay in Japan and be a new Iron Guard!
Great voice, he really sells this world and the people in it.
Oh yeas… I could not stop! Edge of my seat!
Boy, I hope we get more books about this Grimnoir world!
"H.P. Lovecraft's Villains Band Together, WEIRD!"
Great idea, and a GREAT further explanation of Lovecraft's genius ideas. THE Best Lovecraft inspired book I've read yet.
An explanation of the bad guys motives. You hear the "other-side" of the story. Get ready to Learn the whole truth… you'l get the story of everything revealed… you may just go insane!
Annoying. Whine. Horrible.
We are shown exactly just what it is that is in the sky behind the mountains of madness that so disturbed the hero in the original tale by Lovecraft. Awesome work.
Lovecraft, further explained and, amazingly, made even better! No writer has ever improved on Lovecraft till now. I just wish the reader had not used such an annoying "character-voice" as his main narration. It about made me stop listening several times, but I stuck it out because the story is so good. I was rewarded by the end.
"Pilgrim of Grim."
Oh yes! These are great action tales with a twist toward the dark! It's Earl Flynn meets Cthulhu! While savage Conan was the birth of "Swords and Sorcery", grim Kane is the birth of "Swashbuckling vs Supernatural"! Leaves you wanting more!
Kane smacks of Robert E. Howard's other horror tales, but with a great dashing and dark caped crusader as the leading man.
Paul was good and clear and deep, and brought forth all the male bravado and creepy chills required.
Wha? That's the dumbest question from an audible review yet! Who wrote this silly thing?
A great book, and a wonder flu listen. I was promoted to go out and watch the recent film of Soloman Kane, and they did a fine job, great monsters, beautiful art direction, fine acting, however, the film got a tad too grim I thought. When Robert E.Howard's hero beat evil, you felt completely validated by justice and righteousness. The movie dips a bit down the sado-masacistic scale for me, and you end up feeling like you need a good wash.
"Mystic Ninjas in a heart wrenching revenge tale!"
Great story telling - constant surprise twists. Ninjas and samurai in a tale so exquisite & full of action & high emotion, building to a climax nearly unbearable in it's intensity. This is the tale of mystic ninja warriors I have waited to hear snce I was a young martial art student... a life time ago.
Sixteen-year-old Takeo - his slow discovery of his powers and heritage, intelligence, and passions for love and sex and revenge- everything ins in this tale..and I mean everything!
The ending is amazing - it just builds and builds in drama and action, both physical and emotional till I was stopped at my art, gasping, waiting to hear what was gonna' happen next!
I did both! Plus, I was amazed at the skill of the writer Lian Hearn bringing in so many elements of suspense, passion, and mystic powers and martial skill... it's the book I always wanted to read / hear since I studied martial arts so intensely as a young man.
This book takes to the brink of sanity in it's build of anticipation, thirst for revenge, and such beautiful depiction's of obsession & love... it's like poetry. What made me re-wind several time to get all the slight nuances of what was going on in this complex yet gripping tale, was it's great ability to swing from one extreme to another, and have it all so seamlessly fit. What made me re-listen to a scene three times to make sure I got it right was the brief but so gorgeously touching so tastefully written was the homosexual love of the young monk for our hero near the end of the book - after we've been through so much blood, broken hearts, burning revenge, heterosexual love and passion, mystical ninja powers of deception , fighting and killing, then, a really touching moment of a young monks's adoration, and love, for our hero as he is blood soaked from his so delicious rage filled revenge, yet still, sadly in need of some real kind tenderness- and he finally gets it form this most wondrous turn of the tale near the end... wow. That shows Lian Hearn - the highly skilled story teller at the height of his craft. This life long martial artist got moist eyed and shaken to the roots of my understanding of "love" in a tale I thought was about "revenge". Bravo Lian Hearn! I bout the second book instantly!
"Ron Perlman Has Risen From The Grave!"
It was a great, scary, horror story written by one of the best story tellers of our time: Guillermo Del Toro, and read by one of my favorite character actors: Ron Perlman.
There are many, and Guillermo Del Toro slowly turns over cards like a carnival Fortune Teller, each card more frightening and darkly illustrated than the last... but... the first time a naked dead body walks, and attacks, in times square, with it's mouth full of vampire alien leech tentacles - that was a good moment!
I have not, but I will hunt them out now! I LOVE Ron Perlman. His deep voice is a special effect all by itself! He never strains to create a silly female voice, but uses all his acting skill - I can only feel he is leaning a bit towards Bela Lugosi in this frightful tale of Nosferatu! It's like being read a bed-time story by Hellboy, or Hannibal Chau! Ron's deep voice rumbling out this horror-story brings with it all the depth of a dark and stormy night glowing with an EC comic read by flash-light under the covers! What a treat!
Nosferatu Take New York! ...or (Where is Blade When you Need Him!)
This audio book is really a special gift to us horror-fans! Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, these wonderful actors are all gone. However, Ron Perlman, he is here, and we are so lucky to have him willing to sit with us... maybe in a midnight darkened room, perhaps by a low flickering fire, or a ghostly glowing candle, and read to us... this delicious dreadful delight. He is one of the few living actors of such caliber to deliver to us this brilliant tale by one of the best horror and pulp writers of our time: Guillermo Del Toro with such perfection! I cannot wait to hear the rest of the books! Oh...so great! This is a rare treasure, indeed! I am so excited I found it, and now, how nice would it be to have Mr. Perlman read a few HELLBOY books? Hmmmmm?
"One of the Best Pulp Adventures stories EVER."
It's so well written. The Characters so well thought out. The ideas so smart.
Jake. The Heavy, gravity Spiker - the ultimate pulp adventure hero.
Smarts. Really amazing ideas that set you back on your heels they are so fresh and new.
It's climax is nearly impossible to hear it's so intensely good!
This is the BEST trilogy since Lord of the Rings. It's pulp fiction, taken to it's very best possible limits. Maybe the middle book is my favorite. But Bronson writes his bad guys and good guys with the same deep love and understanding. You feel for them all, cheer for them all, and cringe from the monstrous evil put down in literature since Pulp horror master H.P.Lovecraft wrote about Cthulhu and the great old ones. You love pulp? You love Lovecraft? you got to read / listen to this!
"Every thing you need to know about western Art."
Vincent Van Gogh - he was so ahead of his time.
This is what makes life worth it. Culture and Art.
I listen to it over and over. A joy to hear. Still, I don't understand why Hockeny was so great.
"Dig the Movie? LOVE the Audio Book!"
If you liked Pacific Rim the film, this book is all the missing pieces and juicy details you want to know about the story in PR. Deeper knowledge of the Kaiju, where they come from, who made them...and why...! Each character is more fully explained. A great addition of so many more story details!
Wow, every character jumps up to life... all with more depth. I love the love / hate Raleigh has with the whole world now. I love the two scientists. I think theyb really care for each other behind their constant fighting. I LOVED Hannibal Chau the pirate in the black market, though, "Ron Pearlman" cannot be surpassed by any reader, no matter how good. However, this character so enthralled me, I may get my missing tooth replaced with a gold one.
OK, sorry, this might be a "raciest" thing to say, but I will say it: I love the cool British toughness of Stacker Pentecost - and I was amazed that in the book it doesn't say he is black. While, in the film, black actor "Idris Elba" plays him to such perfection, I could not think of him as any one else. I went back and re-watched his performance in the film, and marveled at all the extra depth I got out of his character from the detail in the book, and his really wonderful performance. The best line in the book / movie: "First, Don't you ever touch me. Second, Don't you EVER touch me!" - the book and movie together enhanced my enjoyment of his masterful acting performance!
Really amazing...had to think sooo many pepole's voices came from so few. You get lost in the illusion.
Many... I got a LOT more emotional context of the characters. I got teared up at the end. Some go to their deaths, a fitting hero's end.
This book added so much more to a already fantastic movie! I would have this audio book (or even paper book) be a strongly urged listen /read after seeing the film - if you liked the film - you will LOVE the book. It fill in all the gaps...gives you all the history... names more monsters, tells U many things about the world you didn't know, really develops a whole new tragic and heroic world. I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish it was the first book in a trilogy!
"Mystery eech!"
A better paced story... this seems to crawl and ramble nowhere in particular.
That Peter Strab wrote it. I always seem to have a problem with his writing. But a friend told me this was about a character who had dealings with H. P. Lovecraft like beings...and I LOVE H. P. Lovecraft. Thought I'd give Peter one more try. But, I'm still fighting my way through Peter's weird writing style to figure out just what the heck is gong on.
The reader was very good. Very dramatic.
I do so very much LOVE all the "Eldar Gods" mythos stuff. I dig all the under dog becomes the razor clawed leather winged destroyer of the human race.
Perhaps I will give it another try...

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I am installing a combo meter panel on my new construction house. I ran a UFER ground and the rebar is in the exterior wall stud cavity. The panel is surface mounted and the utility requires a ground rod as well. Do I have to have the ground wire run from the rod (through the panel for convenience) to the UFER and then to the grounding lug as a continuous wire, or can I run a separate wire form each to the ground lug? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Wed, Feb 24, 10 at 7:30
You can do it either way, at least as far as the NEC is concerned, but since your utility/AHJ seems to have more stringent requirements than what the code strictly requires you should check with them. |
- Posted by petey_racer (My Page) on Wed, Feb 24, 10 at 7:41
I agree. Check with your POCO. That ground rod is NOT even required per the NEC, so POCO rules will dictate this. I doubt it would have to be continuous though. |
AHJ agrees, a separate connection for each is OK. Thanks, |

- Application Details
I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks – interviewed at Teach for America.
Interview DetailsPhone interview comes first. They will ask questions about situations that challenged you and how you dealt with it. They ask strengths and weaknesses. Also asked for your biggest professional pet peeve.
Interview Questions- Everything was pretty predictable. Answer Question
Declined OfferAverage Interview - Application Details
I applied through other source. The process took 5+ weeks – interviewed at Teach for America.
Interview DetailsInterview was very thorough. They do not really do a good job of getting to know the new employer. It is clear there is a right answer and if you dont say the right answer, with respect to their corp values, they wont seek to understand why you disagree. Very difficult to get accepted but if you talk about you lack of priviledge...ie if you are of any minority than it is A LOT easier to get in.
Interview Questions- How do you feel about profound additional impact within the classroom? Answer Question
Accepted OfferNeutral Experience - Interview Details
I first filled out the online application and met with a recruiter from my school. Then I had a phone interview, which was very nice. I did some online tests and then was offered a final in-person interview, which lasted all day.
Interview Questions- The sample teaching lesson was the most difficult for me because the outlines were very vague. Answer Question
No Offer - Interview Details
This was a very thorough and thoughtful process. Most questions are relevant, thought provoking, and really get down to how well you will perform in the job. There are technical aspects depending upon the role, but this was a key indicator of success for me as a candidate as well as the hiring manager.
Interview Questions- If outside the organization, knowledge of the nature of the work as a whole. Answer Question
Accepted Offer - Interview Details
30 min phone interview intially - fairly standard questions, next step was half day in person interview where you had to present a practice 5 minute lesson plan, and participate in a group discussion observed by interviewers, and then a one on one interview with a teach for america staff member
Interview Questions- nothing too difficult or unexpected Answer Question
No Offer - Interview Details
The process has three rounds. Application, Telephone Interview, Group interview. The questions focus on your ability to be a team player and your ability to work with others in various situations.
Interview Questions- We were given a scenario that could occur in the school and how you would handle that case Answer Question
Accepted OfferPositive Experience -

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Teach for America.
Interview DetailsBegan with the online application and essays, from there moved to a phone interview and then a full day final interview that consisted of a sample lesson teach, group discussion and one on one interview.
Interview Questions- What is a policy you did not agree with, but were expected to follow? Answer Question
Reasons for DecliningThe location I was matched with was not my first choice.
Declined OfferNeutral ExperienceDifficult Interview - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Teach for America.
Interview DetailsOnline application, followed by phone interview. They just asked about items that were on my resume, as well as some behavioral questions. Finally did a group assessment, followed by a one one with role play.
Interview Questions- There weren't any surprise question, plus you were given a lot of time to prepare for the role play. Answer Question
No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview -
1 person found this helpful
Application DetailsI applied online – interviewed at Teach for America.
Interview DetailsFilled out the 4th deadline online application the night before the deadline and was notified within two weeks that I had been advanced to the final interview stage, skipping the phone interview. My final interview was about 3 weeks later and I had to complete an online activity. I prepared my sample teach the night before, read the 3 required articles. The group interview was approximately 2 hours long - short presentation first, then sample teaches (roughly 7 people candidates interviewing), then the group problem-solving activity, and then signing up for idividual interviews. The individual interview was about 1 hour long.
Interview Questions- Probably the most challenging part was that mine was a virtual interview, which placed some limitations on the sample teaches. Overall in the personal interview I got the impression that they wanted statistics - how many members did I lead in my extracurricular activity, how much of an improvement that was over the previous year, the size of our budget, etc. View Answer
Reasons for DecliningMy finals conflicted with the Summer Institute.
Declined OfferEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Teach for America.
Interview DetailsInterview process begins with submitting an online application. The application focuses on leadership and mindsets about the achievement gap. Some applicants are selected for a phone interview, and others are moved straight to an in-person interview. I completed a phone interview, where the interviewer asked questions about my resume and about my basic qualifications for the job. The in-person interview is a day-long process involving a group activity, teaching a short lesson, and a one-on-one session.
Interview Questions- TFA loves role-playing activities. Be able to think on your feet, and be sure you're grounded in what you believe about kids, parents, communities, etc. that you're planning to serve. Answer Question

Bethe, Hans (Albrecht)
Bethe, Hans (Albrecht)
biographical name(born July 2, 1906, Strassburg, Ger.died March 6, 2005, Ithaca, N.Y., U.S.) German-born U.S. theoretical physicist. His work helped shape quantum mechanics and increased understanding of the forces governing the structures of atomic nuclei. Bethe fled Germany in 1933 and taught at Cornell University (1935–75). He showed how the electric field surrounding an atom in a crystal affects the atom's energy states. He was the first to propose the carbon cycle as a source of energy production in stars (1939). He headed the Theoretical Physics Division of the Manhattan Project, but in the postwar era he worked to publicize the threat of nuclear warfare. He was awarded the Max Planck Medal (1955) and the Enrico Fermi Award (1961) and received the 1967 Nobel Prize for Physics.

Full Look: Steven Meisel Spoofs Twitter for Vogue Italia December 2009 with "Meiselpic"
Full Look: Steven Meisel Spoofs Twitter for Vogue Italia December 2009 with "Meiselpic"
>> Steven Meisel co-opted the Twitter phenomenon for the last Vogue Italia issue of the decade — December 2009 — and rechristened Twitpic "Meiselpic" for his purposes. Inside the issue he wrote to his 20 model "followers" under a blurred portrait of himself — surprising, as the photographer is reclusive and does not like to be photographed himself —"Feeling a touch swine flu . . . so not coming to work today. I'm sending you some clothes . . . wear what you like, Meiselpic it back to me. xxSteven." What comes next — and is featured on the cover — are twenty pages of model self-portraits in the style of Twitpic. Lara Stone took the below picture of herself and "Twittered" underneath: "I love my new boobs. Werk!!" A pregnant Gisele snaps herself in lingerie, covering up her bump, and "Tweets": "Privacy is beautiful!" And Freja Beha Erichsen, who's not known to be a Meisel favorite, makes a surprise appearance, as well.

I have taken an interest in vertical gardening lately and I think this might also be an idea you could use, at least for some part(s) of the wall. If you follow the link you'll see what I mean http://www.instructables.com/Vertical-Garden-1/
Maybe it would be a nice idea to have 3 of these devided evenly against the wall and fill the parts that are left with ivy that would be growing from the top or from the bottom in the planters you would like to see.
EDIT: The link won't show you the instruction right away but if you look for 'Vertical Garden by Floddertje' you've got the right one. Sorry
Hmm, I tried the link myself and it doesn't work. Well, in that case google sactorose and you'll find a link to rose pests and diseases. You'll find the article there. Sorry for the inconvenience.
It is most probably caused by Roseslugs which are larvae of Rose Sawflies. I found this for you: http://www.sactorose.org/ipm/84rosesawflies.htm
They also explain how to get rid of these blighters. Hopefully that will do the trick.
I think it's Campanula lactiflora 'Pritchard's Variety'. There have been some new introductions so I'm not totally sure but still 95%.
Or.... is she getting married and this was an excercise for her hen party?
You're welcome Kate.
Here you are Kate.
Good afternoon all,
Yesterday we came back home after a lovely holiday. We've been touring in Germany for about three weeks and have had all types of weather. Luckily we sleep in our own car otherwise we would have certainly been washed away in the Black Forest. Downpours and extremely heavy thunderstorms are not good for sleeping, that's for sure!! But a big piece of Black Forest Cake made up for it all.
I haven't seen too much of the Olympics but I did watch Andy and Roger; Andy fully deserved to win. I am now waiting for our "hero" (on the horizontal bar) to win tomorrow.
It's beautiful weather outside so I'm going to do some (very much needed) gardening. It seems we've had an explosion of weeds
Power tools - electric or petrol? Electricity and water = not a good idea, petrol should be able to do the trick.
Jo, before we moved house I always had a check, check, double check before I went to bed; now we often find we haven't locked the back door or the garage at all - we just tend to forget. We must be living in a safe street... Normally I'm the same as you, I do not trust people very quickly
Yes Alina, the amount of fungal spores in the air is not provable yet (to my knowledge) and there are many other variables - I do agree on that one.
It's just that I've been reading a lot about the issue (CODIT) and have seen some awful damage in the many years that I worked at a tree nursery, that I've come to this conclusion. We did experiment (not scientificely) and painting large wounds in those cases was never beneficial to the trees. Small wounds however, did sometimes benefit when the weather had been dry.
As I said, this is only my opinion so hopefully some others will let Elsapelle know what they think.
Kate, my Granny was like that,you know. In her younger years all the children had to help but as she grew older she insisted on doing it herself until she got to 92 when her brain started to go wooshywoo.
Sounds familiar Geoff. My front door also needs painting but because of the "unstable weather" ( our forecasters know how to cover themselves eh) I can't do it so this door has been "naked" from 29th March.
Jo, don't you get a shower detector for your region via the computer so you can check when it will be raining? I check mine all the time these days.

Tea Party to be getting smaller even as it gets wealthier. Go Figure.
The middle of October '13, Congress refused to raise the debt limit (that the Treasury said would be hit on 17 October), it suspended it. As it turns out, the US debt subject to the ceiling did NOT hit the ceiling on 17 Oct, or since. The US debt subject to the ceiling is STILL below the ceiling.
No one has any idea when it will be hit, with the Treasury saying it will definitely be hit before the end of this month, and others saying it won't be hut before May. And no one has any idea what happens if it is hit, since the Treasury computers are not programmed to handle that possibility.
So will the House cave as it did in Oct '13, or will the Tea types convince Speaker Boehner to hold out for some concessions this time?
The US is, once again, proving that it is exceptional, the greatest country and the greatest force for good that has ever existed in the world. No other nation has ever threatened to default on debt in its sovereign fiat currency, an accomplishment for which every American must feel proud! -
Ah, terrific cartoon. Thank you.
The same can be said of the Republican and Democrat parties. They too are shrinking, and shrinking fast. The growing "party" in America is "Independent."
No connection to reality. None.
F.Y.I. The latest Gallup Poll showed the Republican Party membership at 23% of Registered voters, the Democrats at 35%, and "Independents" at 42%.
Highly doubtful that the TEA "Party" has a "Hundred Million" members, unless it's the same figure mangling that can call a protest in Washington with 250 people a "Million Moms, or Men, or Truckers, or Patriots, or whatever, March"! -
Better a threat to society than a threat to FREE society like the Progressive Left and Democrats are…
I wonder…Does Pastis know that Rat is Moonlighting from his job at the NSA??
You do realize that you can choose the strips you see. Go up to the top of the page and hit the little button that says "home". Then you can go back to watching Faux news, with no danger of reality ever intruding on your little world again.
No Nantucket, what I am saying is that it is more important that society be free than we have a society where government is the central focus of everything.
That is, it would be better for America if we didn't have a social welfare state, didn't have a huge central government, didn't have massive taxes.
Even if going without those things meant a change in the standard of living or in the wealth of the nation the people living there would be better off having more freedom to succeed or fail on their own rather than a dependence on government. -
Do explain how…
…they don't hold their pinkies up whilst drinking tea. Thoroughly uncivilised of them.
Pity we aren't allowed to call Morin a moron. But it'd be redundant when he chooses to define himself with idiotic cartoons like this one.

Glasnow has been one of those 75 pitches/5 innings guys so far this season which makes what he has been able to accomplish that much more impressive. Saturday's line? Five innings pitched, five hits allowed,...
Analyzing the Recent Chain of Promotions in the Minor League System
We've reached the half way point in the minor league season, which usually means a few things. It means you've got new draft picks entering the system, with almost all of those guys going to the short-season leagues. It means you've got those short-season leagues starting up. And it means you're going to start seeing a lot of promotions throughout the minors. The Pirates saw a lot of promotions over the last...
Gerrit Cole Throws Five Innings in Instructs Today
Today was my first day covering the Fall Instructional Leagues this year. It turned out to be a good day to be at Pirate City, as top prospect Gerrit Cole was on the mound. Cole was going up against the Philadelphia farm system, and ended up throwing five innings of shutout ball. I was bouncing back and forth between the two fields, so I didn't see every pitch Cole threw. I did see four strikeouts, with a few coming on the...

header(location) behavior-- code continues to execute?
It appears to me, at least on my local xampp web server, that
does not kill the script. PHP code further on down the line executes beyond the header() call before the header() call has a chance to kick in and redirect to another URL. I've always assumed it's just like calling die()-- any code after the header("location:") will never execute. But this apparently is not so!
Can anyone explain this? I spent a couple of hours fiddling around before realizing this was happening. (And yes, I realize it's not good coding practice to end my script with header() but that's the nature of this particular beast)

It's a bugger the first time you realise that, ain't it. It wouldn't be much use if issuing a header call killed the script. exit() every time if you want processing to stop there and then.

Header may be used to send all sorts of things and having it die or exit without warning would be a very bad thing. You are in control of what happens after you use header. Either exiting or doing other things.
The best example of multiple uses of header that I can think of is when you want to deliver a file for download. It takes a sequence of header calls to properly tell the browser what is going on as illustrated below. If the use of header killed things automatically this, obviously, would not work.
PHP Code:
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=test.txt");
header("Content-type: application/octetstream");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

Exactly Dave. What I like to do fumigator is a simple redirect function
This way it makes it as simple asPHP Code:
function redirect($url) {
header('Location: '.$url);
and you know it will redirect there immediately. It also means you won't forget to add the exit() like your original problem, as is easy to do in these situations

Useful Audio tool on SMD solder joints (321 comments)
Here's a tip to quickly Audio inspect large number of SMD solder (j)points, take a small wooden stick approx 6" to 9" long (to fit in one hand), heat shrink wrap and a average size sewing needle. You reverse the needle when heat shrinking it to the stick, leave a reasonable length running out, ensure it's well fixed( triple shrink wrap here). You run the needle tool over the solder joints and with a solid solder joint, you can hear these 'ring'. You can hear the dud's as a dull sound and check then solder these suspect joints. I hasten to add, there is a small learning curve involved in differentiating the duds, but you soon get up to speed and this takes the guess work out of non-soldered joints and really does save you time.

Nefarious Theme by NOFX1994
Well looks like i am last on this fantastic competition (the best for last lol)
I just hope it was worth the wait for everyone. This was quite a build for me to do here with all sorts of new things I attempted this go around. The main thing you will notice is my frames (what a nightmare by the way to work with lol) I wanted to get as much detail as i could in them so I had to work and more work to get them to work as I wanted. As many of you know I love the way metal looks on a windows screen so I wanted to get some realistic looking metal which I think I got so pretty damn happy with the end results and some might wonder about the name well here is what it means ne·far·i·ous [ni-fair-ee-uhs] adjective extremely wicked or villainous; iniquitous: a nefarious plot. Well enough rambling on lets get to what is included in this damn thing! 1. Theme (exe installer for easy installation) 2. Dock (made by me) 3. Custom sounds (and yes i know the change theme one is a bit long but really liked it) 4. Pirulen rg font (this needs to be put on before you install the theme) 5. Custom Wallpapers I would like to thank my love for 2 great walls she did for this theme even before i started building on it and I did one 6. explorer.exe ,explorerframe.dll and shell32.dll stuff that all changes with the theme resource changer. 7. 7tsp_Nefarious_Theme_Extras_x86_x64 (I want to thank hack for doing this for me) It installs 1. timedate.cpl 2. shellbrd 3. systemcpl 4. explorerframe patch (for the explorer background image) I want to thank Bigcyco,Hack and Vern for testing this theme for me. I have to say this has been the best competition we have had and the best of luck to everyone, but there can only be one winner so go vote and enjoy all these great looking themes from the best damn customization site on the net period!

Teeny Dwarf Mugo Pine will grow to be about 18 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 18 inches. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more.
In my opinion not very teeny. Dave |

Dave, as mentioned in the 'Sherwood Compact' topic, 'Teeny' is a synonym for that mugo pine cultivar... |
Yes, I am making the necessary changes as I learn about them. Thanks, Dave |
- Posted by severnside UKsouthwest 9 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 7, 11 at 8:07
So add synonyms to the mix now. Lord. ;) |
As I said....I am making the necessary changes as I learn about them. How can I add them before hand if I don't know about them? That's where Edwin come into play. Dave |
- Posted by severnside UKsouthwest 9 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 7, 11 at 8:18
No foul on you at all Dcsteg, I meant yet more for the perpetual neewb (me) to learn :) |
sevenside Don't look to me for advice and correction. I have some of the pieces in place but there are a lot of blanks still to be filed in. My biggest issue is dealing with all the incorrect cultivar names. A big concern for me. One of the reasons I am posting all my cultivars here, there are others, is to sort this all out and at the same time update my cultivar database. Bottom line: I still consider myself a newbie. I am open, and welcome all who want to contribute in getting it right. Dave |
- Posted by severnside UKsouthwest 9 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 7, 11 at 15:56
You're doing exactly the right thing with these threads. Each one, with possibly some inevitable corrections, is banked. If everyone contributes pictures as well for any variations and mature specimens then it's there in Google search and forum search for everyone's use. Damn, what do you think I do in nurseries? I'm on my phone checking pictures and info on the web. Almost always from this forum. Saved me buying unsuitable baby monsters a few times. Keep on, the stack of knowledge can never be too big. You a newb? Maybe relative to some but please, you're a conifer luminary. |
I'm not clear on the 'Teeny' vs 'Sherwood Compact'. Is 'Teeny' also know as 'Sherwood Compact' even though there is a distict 'Sherwood Compact' cultivar? Sorry if I missed the boat. |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Thu, Jul 7, 11 at 17:05
Yes, they are one and the same. tj |
I don't get it. Two different cultivars just ended up being the exact plant with the same characteristics? I thought AKA are common names? I'm pushing because I bought a 'Teeny'. |
I don't get it. Look at both cultivars I posted here. Sherwood Compact looks different the Teeny. The Sherwood Compact has smaller needles with white around the buds. Not so with Teeny. What am I missing here? Dave |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Thu, Jul 7, 11 at 19:22
I only know what I'vre read from a number of sources. Here's one... tj |
Here is a link that might be useful: Also Known As
- Posted by severnside UKsouthwest 9 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 7, 11 at 19:25
Either way, whoever decided to also call it 'Teeny' is unfathomable. What's next, 'Twinky'? |
- Posted by coniferjoy (My Page) on Fri, Jul 8, 11 at 10:15
When I compared both of Dave's photo's he was right that these look differend which made me to want to figger this out. I was familiar with the info which Tommy provided of and always tought that this info was right, but unfortunately it isn't... 'Sherwood Compact' was found by Andy Sherwood from Portland, Oregon, U.S. 'Teeny' was found by Ed Lohbrunner from Vancouver Is, B.C. Canada. So these 2 aren't the same, they're differend... |

Thanks, Edwin. Very helpful. tj |

This is sweet little Ryan…our second grandson who made his debut nearly 9 weeks early. He was born on July 22nd but was due at the end of September. He is snoozing in his incubator in the NICU at a Nashville hospital… he is breathing all by himself and weighs a whopping three pounds. He will have to stay there until he puts on a some weight…at least a few weeks. He is doing very well and his doctor has told his mommy that he will be 'stepping down' to the NICU on another floor. His first graduation!
Mommy is a bit blue…being separated from him is very difficult for her.
As an aside…I am amazed that this image turned out as well as it did! It's the only one out of a zillion…and the only one with a portion of his face showing! He is in a glass incubator with a blanket on the top to keep light out of his eyes…the room was dim and I had to use a flash!.
He is precious.
Awe how adorable. Thanks for the wonderful write up on him Karen. Reminds me or when my girls were born prematurely. This will always be a special keepsake for you and family. Well done : )
Thank you so much, Sean….you must understand having had premature girls. Ryan's big brother, Thomas was early as well…but only by 5 weeks. It's tough to leave your baby…and the hospital is a good 45 minute drive.
– Karen Helgesen
gorgeous shot,,,I am a nurse who works in a NICU unit in Australia,,,these little babies constantly inspire me,, they struggle through so much,,,, I hope your daughter feels better soon,, and that Ryan is returned to his rightful home very soon,,,,
Thank you! I have come to admire those of you who struggle right along with these little guys! All the nurses are so kind, patient and full of encouragement. I guess he wanted to outshine his big brother…he was only 5 weeks early!
– Karen Helgesen
Oh God bless him! My son's name is Ryan, it's a great name.
Thank you very much! They picked his name just days before he was born! It suits him perfectly!
– Karen Helgesen
Bless Karen a beautiful image of Ryan thanks for the write up too my best wishes go to you all and welcome Baby Ryan – David
Thank you, David…it was a pleasure to share him!
– Karen Helgesen
Oh my—so tiny and fragile, like a little bird. But in the Father's arms!
He is tiny…and this photo makes him look huge compared to the way he appears in person! His mommy is taking his new big 'brudder' to see him today for the first time..he will be in the NICU for an undetermined time (they must weigh at least 4.5 lbs and be able to effectively suck and learn to swallow) Mom is quite sad that her new little one is not at home…but, he will be and he is doing very well. God is good and gracious, indeed!
– Karen Helgesen
God bless this little guy. He is so sweet…We want to thank you for adding him to our group "Sleeping Creatures.
Thank you so much Donna! This is really a wonderful group! Right up my alley!
– Karen Helgesen
Thank you Scott!
– Karen Helgesen
Thank you for your very kind words!
– Karen Helgesen
I wish only nice things for him GOD I hope that lil chap makes it !!. I'll leave it there
Thank you….I think I accidently thanked the person above (Scott) twice…thinking I had thanked you! Duh! Sorry! BTW…he came home yesterday!!
– Karen Helgesen
precious precious. there is nothing like being a grandma . my second one is on the way in October.. awwwwww. it is hard for mom I am sure.. but this little guy looks strong and full of little angels around..
Thank youb very much! He is home now…and we are very happy to have with us finally!! and, yes….being a grandma is just grand!

Senior year in high school is a busy time for students and their families, with college applications, senior photos, invitations, and all the preparations for the big day: Graduation! At some point during all the chaos, we realize that at least one tradition allows us to escape for a few days of fun. A senior class trip can celebrate the end of our high school journey and be filled with memories that will last a lifetime. When you start throwing around words like fun, exciting, magical, and memorable, you can't help but think about a Disney Trip.
We tend to think of Disney as a family vacation, but Walt Disney World offers a lot of activities for teens. From Thrill Rides at all four parks to Disney Quest at Downtown Disney, the fun never ends. Imagine riding Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster or Twilight Zone's Tower of Terror with all your classmates. If you've ever wanted to feel like an astronaut, you can test your skills on Spaceship Earth. You can even grab a little culture from around the world at Epcot's World Showcase, where all the cast members are actually from those countries. You feel like you are in Mexico, while dining on authentic Mexican food prepared by a chef from Mexico, and you are inside a large replica of a Mayan pyramid. You also have several other countries to visit and explore. One of my favorite countries is France, because I love French pastries and I love the large fountains, and the Eiffel Tower. The Great Britain Pavilion serves authentic fish and chips while listening to a Celtic rock band.
Disney Quest takes a video arcade to the extreme in true Disney-style and you can even design and virtually ride your very own roller coaster. Downtown Disney also offers a new state-of-the-art bowling alley, movie theater, popular themed restaurants, like Rain Forest Cafe and Planet Hollywood, and the acrobatic thrills of Cirque du Soleile .
When you've had enough of the Florida heat, Walt Disney World is also home to two large water parks. Typhoon Lagoon has a wave pool and you can even schedule surf lessons, for a fee, for up to 10 people. Blizzard Beach is themed to showcase a freak snowstorm leaving behind plunging water thrill rides from snow-capped mountains.
One important activity that you must not forget about is taking lots and lots of pictures. Don't worry if you forget your camera or just miss that great shot. Disney photographers are everywhere and you don't have to buy any of the photos until you return home and view them all. I love taking pictures, but don't always stop having fun to take them, so I miss a lot of good shots.
There are many other destinations to choose from, but experiencing a Disney trip as a student with your friends, rates the top of the list. Please contact us for more information and our affordable group rates. Our goal is to make your planning and booking stress-free. Let our experience in group trips give your students a trip they will never forget.

OK, the MZ-3 Date shows Pentax can still do it properly but why stick with that mediocre shutter for a third model in a row. The Z1-P is much better specified (at twice the price) but the MZ-30, MZ-5N and this MZ-7 give the distinct impression that Pentax are building down to a price. That is not what they built their excellent reputation on.- Specifications

And to prove it, they have dedicated their third Book of Shadows all to us. With colors like the electric blue that is Radium, Psychedelic Sister's pretty purple, and the whitish silver of Uzi (which is what I'm guessing you would see if you were actually shot by one), what's not to love? I barely even wear makeup and I want this thing…just look at it! Who doesn't secretly adore a pop-up book?That being said, you better hightail it to the Times Square Sephora next Saturday, August 28th at 1 PM. There will be a little sneak preview shindig complete with A-list makeup artists and 1,000 copies ready for purchase, first-come first-served. If you're lucky enough to show up as one of the first 200, you get a free limited edition Urban Decay t-shirt! Nice! No worries though, if you can't show up till later, the event goes on until 9, so there is plenty of time to get your pretty pretty princess on.
