* Don't bother ** Rent it *** Matinee material **** Worth seeing ***** Exceptional
I'm not a huge fan of action movies.
Perhaps I'm stereotypically female in that respect, but, really, give me a good romantic comedy any day. Perhaps because of this, I went into 300 (directed by Zack Snyder) expecting something akin to Gladiator — a movie I didn't particularly enjoy.
I would later eat my words; 300 is by no means a stereotypical action flick with a little history thrown in. In fact, I actually believe 300 will prove itself the must-see movie of the year.
Based on the original graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is the tale of King Leonidas of Sparta and his perhaps overly-ambitious quest to defend his throne against the Persian King Xerxes. However, viewer be warned: While he uses many democratic slogans such as "For Freedom!" to rally his troops, this is very much a battle of sheer macho pride. As he bellows, "This is Sparta!" you can tell that Leonidas simply does not want the Persians stomping on his turf.
The film is narrated by a young man who is presumably a Spartan survivor telling his story.
"We very much latched onto the idea of a lone Spartan storyteller weaving the tale a year after it happened," Snyder said. "We wanted to include a lot of theatricality as opposed to simple historical information. After all, what is history? What was distilled from the story was what the story becomes. History becomes legend and legend becomes history."
While its plot is relatively thin, the cinematography itself is breathtaking — a visual masterpiece. The men proudly sport ripped abs and Spartan uniforms, which appropriately reveal this physicality. Snyder also has an eye for female sensuality, with the women's costumes revealing womanly curves. He tactfully includes elements of the risqué, as shown in the scene where Lenoidas consults an Oracle that appears to be a scantily clad, ethereal-looking adolescent girl who connects to the spirit world through a series of erotic contortions.
In 300, a stunning performance is not delivered by impeccable line-delivery, but through a strong and intense physical presence — Gerard Butler dominates as Leonidas through his chilling voice and fierce demeanor. Rodrigo Santoro delivers an equally impressive performance in his exaggerated role as the severely egotistical (even somewhat maniacal) Xerxes.
Snyder has said he doesn't want people to think of the film like a painting. However, there are moments when that is exactly what it looks like, and it adds to the originality of the film. While it is not historically accurate, it is not meant to be; Snyder's take is a fantasy. He said he intended the film to play out the way the battle would have looked in the minds of the Greeks, as they tell the story of the 300's sacrifice.
With cleverly crafted battle footage and stunning visual effects, 300 is a delight in entertainment and a must-see film

text: New Orleans police say a man killed an attacker who was sexually assaulting a woman. "Police are investigating a Homicide of a 26-year-old man who was fatally wounded after brandishing a handgun and sexually assaulting a woman," Officer Garry Flot said in a news release. "The incident occurred at approximately 9:25 P.M., in the 3800 block of North Rampart Street." Investigators say it started when the suspect approached the man and woman as they walked down the street. "The man produced a gun and demanded that they walk to a building that was being renovated. Once they entered the yard, the man sexually assaulted the woman at which time the adult male disarmed the man and fatally shot him," Flot said. Detectives say they have the gun, are running tests on it and researching the weapon's history. Police did not charge anyone with a crime, but will turn the information over to prosecutors. "The adult man and woman were interviewed and released," Flot explained. "The investigation is ongoing and the District Attorney's Office will review the case."

I love this kit, and I really don't know why, maybe because it has a very unusual color for spring or perhaps because … The fact is that is a revamp of my 2010 spring kit and I think it will stay in my shop for many years.
I added to this kit 10 new patterned and textured papers and I've also added my 2010 "More Papers for Spring" pack with a grid and textured design, a total of 30 papers. To the 52 elements of the kit I've added my 2010 "Spring is Coming Word Art" pack, 55 spring words I've improved by adding colors to the metal first designed, a total of 107 elements to play with. And all this for a super low price!!
And I made for you a freebie QP with this kit, you can find it at my blog
Hope you enjoy this freebie and the kit, as much I love it! Thanks for stopping by.

Offering the first sustained and comprehensive scholarly consideration of the dramatic potential of the blazon, this volume complicates what has become a standard reading of the Petrarchan convention of dismembering the beloved through poetic description. At the same time, it contributes to a growing understanding of the relationship between the material conditions of theater and interpretations of plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries. The chapters in this collection are organized into five thematic parts emphasizing the conventions of theater that compel us to consider bodies as both literally present and figuratively represented through languge. The first part addresses the dramatic blazon as used within the conventions of courtly love. Examining the classical roots of the Petrarchan blazon, the next part explores the violent eroticism of a poetic technique rooted in Ovidian notions of metamorphosis. With similar attention paid to brutality, the third part analyzes the representation of blazonic dismemberment on stage and screen. Figurative battles become real in the fourth part, which addresses the frequent blazons surfacing in historical and political plays. The final part moves to the role of audience, analyzing the role of the observer in containing the identity of the blazoned woman as well as her attempts to resist becoming an objectified spectacle.
Contents: Introduction: setting the stage, Deborah Uman and Sara Morrison; Part I Petrarchan Lovers in Performance: Double exposure: gazing at male fantasy in Shakespearean comedy, Grant Williams; Petrarchan desire, the female ghost, and The Winter's Tale, Katherine R. Kellett; Dismembering rhetoric and lively action in The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Elizabeth Williamson. Part II Staging Blazonic Violence: Transforming Ovid: images of violence, vulnerability, and sexuality in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, Lisa S. Starks-Estes; Embodying the blazon: performing and transforming pain in Measure for Measure and The Duchess of Malfi, Sara Morrison. Part III Dramatizing Dismemberment: 'Limbs mangled and torn asunder': dismemberment, theatricality, and the blazon in Christopher Marlowe's Dr Faustus, Patricia Marchesi; The cuckold's blazon: dismemberment and domesticity in Arden of Faversham and A Woman Killed with Kindness, Ariane M. Balizet; 'Ay me, this object kills me!': Julie Taymor's cinematic blazon in Titus, Thomas P. Anderson. Part IV Historical Reenactments: By the book: blazoning the subject in Shakespeare's history plays, Joseph M. Ortiz; The blazon and the theatre of war: The Wars of the Roses and The Plantagenets, Lisa Dickson; 'They use violence to him': dismembering the body politic in The Rebellion of Naples, Erin E. Kelly. Part V Witnessing the Blazon: Dissection, pregnancy, and the limits of knowledge in early midwifery treatises and 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, Sara D. Luttfring; 'The garments of Posthumus': identifying the non-responsive body in Cymbeline, Nancy Simpson-Younger; Blazons of desire and war in Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, Cora Fox; Bibliography; Index.
About the Editor: Deborah Uman is Associate Professor of English at St. John Fisher College, USA. Sara Morrison is Assistant Professor of English at William Jewell College, USA.
Reviews: 'Staging the Blazon in Early Modern English Theatre is an essential contribution to early modern studies.'Parergon'The contributors to this book provide a wide range of methodological approaches and a scope of primary sources that range from Phillip Sidney to Julie Taymor; but the book has, nonetheless, a cohesive thematic aim. The cohesion rests in its persistent statement that blazons can be performed and active, rather than textual and passive; blazons are witnessed rather than read, enacted rather than spoken.'Early Theatre

News and Updates |
2010 |
Lexington/Johnson Lake NWR transmitter KGG-99 has changed frequencies to 162.425 MHz, and now provides watch, warning and advisory information for Phelps and Frontier counties, in addition to Dawson and Gosper... In addition to this frequency change and addition of counties, NWS weather radio systems were re-configured to allow this transmitter to have its own INDEPENDENT broadcast program. Over the past several years, the KGG-99 broadcast was a simulcast of the WXL-75 transmitter located near Atlanta/Holdrege Nebraska. By separating these two broadcasts, KGG-99 now focuses more on its immediate listening area, and provides routine 7-day forecast information focused exclusively on Dawson and Gosper counties. The Johnson Lake/Lexington NWR broadcast results from a joint project involving Dawson County Emergency Management, Central Public Power and Irrigation District and the National Weather Service. |
2009 |
In 2009, more changes/updates were made to the NWR broadcast programs originating from the National Weather Service in Hastings. Here are the highlights: ** Severe Weather Statements for TORNADO WARNINGS are now sent with SAME codes (3 beeps) to greatly enhance the urgency of these statements not only for the NWR listener, but also for local media broadcasting these warnings and statements. ** A tower crew replaced the antenna and co-axial cable at the Giltner transmitter (WXL-74). An ice shield was also installed. All indications are that the broadcast range and broadcast quality have been greatly improved! In particular, there seems to be much better coverage in the York and Osceola areas. ** Fire weather products (Red Flag Warnings/Fire Weather Watches) have been added to the broadcast program ** A project was completed to considerably shorten the length of the broadcast cycle during times when Significant Weather Advisories are in effect. The broadcast cycle has always been very "short and to the point" during active Severe Thunderstorm Warnings or Tornado Warnings. Now, the issuance of Significant Weather Advisories for "near-severe" thunderstorms will also shorten the cycle. Please note that Significant Weather Advisories DO NOT activate alert tones. |
2008 |
During the course of 2008, numerous changes/improvements were made to the NWR broadcast programs originating from the National Weather Service in Hastings. These changes included: ** The Hourly Weather Roundup product was updated on all 6 broadcasts to include several more cities and also to include a "recap" at the end -- repeating the weather conditions at the "primary" observation sites within the listening area. ** County names were "activated" for Short Term Forecast (NOW) products to better specify areas of concern and reduce possible listener confusion, especially on the Cambridge, Superior and Ord transmitters that broadcast products from multiple offices. ** The "current time" announcement now plays at the end of EACH broadcast cycle. This may prove beneficial during warning operations so that listeners can take note of the actual time with respect to times given in warnings or statements. ** City names were added to the "intro" for the forecast product to better outline the valid forecast area. Many of these cities will be rotated/changed on a regular basis. |

What to do if your child swallows something
Many kids will likely explore these things with their mouths. Exploring the world by mouth is a normal part of development for babies, but what should you do if your baby or child swallows an object? The answer: stay calm and think! There are some situations in which your child will require the help of a doctor, however many situations can be managed from home. Many items are small enough to pass through the digestive tract and out in a bowel movement, and in this instance your child will likely have no symptoms.
Here are the red flags to look for if your child swallows a foreign object. If your child exhibits any of these symptoms, seek medical help.
Putting the science into action: helping children benefit from reading
Early literacy does not mean early reading. Early literacy emphasizes positive exposure to a literacy-rich environment. Many important reading concepts begin before kindergarten. Studies show us that a child's early literacy environment (age 0-3) plays a crucial role in school success and reading ability. Children enter kindergarten with different knowledge levels. Those who enter with the least knowledge of beginning reading skills are at academic risk.
The benefits of early literacy do not stop at kindergarten; it continues throughout the school years. Frequent positive literacy experiences in preschool is directly associated with:
Can food allergies be undiagnosed?
Unfortunately, there are no approved treatments for food allergies today. Individuals cope by avoiding the food and having proper medications nearby in case of an allergic reaction. As most children eventually outgrow some food allergies, it's important to get tested for an accurate diagnosis.
To diagnose a food allergy, allergy specialists usually ...

3. Eating together helps kids do better in school

Using technology to help educate, prepare, and distract kids in the hospital
Educating kids
An iPad allows staff to teach patients about a new diagnosis while making it fun and interactive. An iPad provides a visual and hands on way to teach about a diagnosis and also make sure the patient understands their diagnosis. There are many apps designed by healthcare professionals for diagnosis education with kids. Some of these applications include: "Medikidz explains Type One Diabetes", "Blast Those Blasts" (for children with cancer, specifically leukemia), "Flow Breather" (for children with cystic fibrosis) and "Wellapets- Asthma Education Pets for Kids."

What you need to know about Enterovirus D68
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the media about a severe type of respiratory illness affecting many children, mainly in the Midwest. The respiratory illness, caused by an infection with Enterovirus D68, is scary to parents, because it's hard to differentiate whether their child is ill from this particular virus or just has one of the many other viruses that cause cold- and flu-like symptoms around this time of year.
Sometimes media reports leave families with more questions than answers, which is why Dr. Dianne Glover, one of Swedish's pediatric infectious disease specialists, wanted to share this information with you:
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is an unusual form of an otherwise common group of viruses referred to as Enteroviruses. These are hardy viruses that usually spread by the respiratory route, but can also spread by fecal-oral route. It is even possible to become infected by touching a surface contaminated with these viruses.
EV-D68 causes a respiratory illness which can quickly progress from a child behaving like they have a simple runny nose and mild cough to then having serious difficulty breathing. Children ....

2 Live Crew's Five Nastiest Songs -- Hear Them at Delux Tonight!
Categories: Concerts, Music News
The Crew's place in local music history is cemented in rock hard stone. Growing up in South Florida in the late '80s/early '90s, most of us had the most precious, most vulgar, most booty blasting tape safely hidden under all our other parent-safe cassettes. Underneath the Cassingle of Fresh Prince's "Nightmare On My Street" and purposely mislabeled "Ghostbusters," there it was, a copy of a copy Move Somethin'. It's an album that taught us every single word we weren't supposed to say.
Generally, these tapes were passed down by an older brother, somebody's older sister's boyfriend or, if you were lucky, an ambivalent parent who had no idea what kind of substance was stuck on that magnetic strip. If you were lucky an enough to see a real copy of a 2 Live Crew tape, a whole new world was opened up to you: motion blurred asses, fully dressed guys in hot tubs ogling at ladies who were little more than butt cheeks and high heeled shoes.
Yeah, Broward County Sheriff tried to pull them from Spec's and Peaches all over South Florida in 1990, but the Supreme Court had their back. Let's take a moment to reflect on the wordsmiths and their illustrious careers by watching (with headphones on, you don't want your mom, spouse or boss to catch you) five of their best video moments.
5. "Face Down Ass Up"
That's the way they like to fuck, ok? And, they didn't mind telling this intimate detail about themselves to Phil Donahue, an audience of Baby Boomers and everyone at home in America.
4. "Get It Girl"
Our favorite part? Besides the lady's spandex-hole-laden unitard and 2 Live's standard issue U of M gear, it's when Fresh Kid Ice sincerely tells the girl that her man can't satisfy her, he's her freak.
3. "One And One"
Okay, full disclosure, when I was nine and in summer camp, our counselors taught us this song. I remember walking in line, with 30 other nine year olds singing "Nine and nice, she licked my ass!" I also remember singing this in front of my older sister, she freaked out, and made it very clear to me that under no circumstances would I utter any 2 Live Crew Lyrics in front of our parents ever.
2. "Me So Horny"
Even though I really loved bad words as a little kid, I always preferred the censored version. "Sitting at home watching Arsenio Hall" is much more clever lyric than "sitting at home with my dick on hard." Fun fact: I had no idea this song came after Full Metal Jacket. When I saw that movie, years later, I was convinced that they made the Vietnamese prostitute sound like the girl in this song.
1. "The Fuck Shop"
After hearing this song, I was instantly taken back to a world of sexual pre-teen confusion. These lyrics, especially the ones about the girl being thirsty and the only drink she'll be allowed to have, are incredibly harsh. You may not wanna hear this one, unless you wanna feel as nasty as I did after hearing again. It's up to you. You are free to click play, or just go to the show instead where the lyrics may be less intelligible -- unless the backing track is an actual copy of their CD.
2 Live Crew. 9 p.m. Friday, September 2 at Delux Delray Beach, 16 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach. Tickets cost $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Click here.

Volunteers serve in many of our "first point of service" positions. Making a positive impression and setting a positive tone for patients and families is a critical part of the patient experience. Some of these front line positions include:
Trying to understand and cope with the challenges that arise during a hospital stay can be difficult. Volunteers assist patients and their families by helping to make their experience as comfortable as possible. A sample of these assignments include:
Volunteers play an important role in enhancing the healing environment for our patients. Whether it's providing a Reiki or meditation session or visiting patients to play music or offer an art project, volunteers are integral members of our healthcare team. Opportunities in providing a Healing Environment for patients include:
Smilow Cancer Hospital (York Street Campus) and Smilow Care Centers Many volunteers are needed in Smilow Cancer Hospital and off site Smilow Care Centers. Ambassadors are needed to meet, greet and escort patients to various areas of the hospital. Accomplished pianists are sought to provide music in the hospital lobby, on the beautiful grand piano. Navigators are needed in the outpatient treatment center to assist patients and their families on the first day of treatment.
Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital While medical care is an essential part of any child's treatment, we believe that the support volunteers can offer to the patients and families of the Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital is an integral part of their care. Volunteer opportunities range from guest relation roles to patient intensive roles. Regardless of assignment, one can expect to support patients who range in age from newborn to 18. Some examples of current opportunities include:

Most countries passed or amended their laws after 9/11 to comply with a United Nations Security Council resolution that called on members to implement counterterrorism measures, criminalize terrorism, and share intelligence. Many of these new laws undermine human rights norms, the International Commission of Jurists said last year.
Both the United States and Britain, for instance, have since 2001 expanded the government's powers of surveillance and preventative detention, broadened definitions of terrorism-related offences, and made sentences harsher. The US authorized military tribunals that curtail defendant rights. More recently, Russia passed a law allowing terrorism trials to proceed without a jury, says Kim Lane Scheppele, director of the Program in Law and Public Affairs at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
"Few states have seen their constitutional sensibilities remain intact in the panic over terrorism," Ms. Scheppele said by e-mail.
Rights vs. security
Though India's legal system enshrines due process and judicial review, some of its antiterror laws rank among the harshest for a constitutional democracy. It permits, for instance, one of the longest periods of pre-charge detention.

How To Stay Well (When Everyone Else Is Sick)
No need to go into hiding: These research-proven strategies will protect you at the office, on planes, and in crowded malls
By Janis Graham
Special Offers
Suds up before hitting the food court. The sanitizing hand goop in the dispenser at the food court (or in your purse) does a good job of killing bacteria and seasonal viruses like those that cause colds and flu. But it hardly makes a dent against the noroviruses that cause the stomach flu. In studies at Emory, hand sanitizers with 62% or 63% alcohol (the amount in most major brands, such as Purell, Infectigard, and Germ-X) killed only a fraction of noroviruses. Even products with alcohol content of up to 95% failed to wipe them all out.
But the Emory research did suggest an effective tactic against these resilient bugs: physically forcing the virus off your hands with the help of running water. Dampen your hands, soap them, and rub together for 20 seconds (about as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice), then rinse with warm running water. Just be sure to use a paper towel to shut off the faucet and to turn the doorknob on the restroom door after washing. That way, your hands will be norovirus-free when you grab hold of your burger, fries, or slice.
Keep nasal passages moisturized. An analysis of more than 1,100 airline passengers several years ago found that you are 23 times more likely to catch a cold on a plane than during normal daily life on the ground. The culprit is probably the low humidity typical of aircraft cabins: It dries out the sticky mucus in your nose, compromising its ability to trap and eliminate viruses, says study coauthor Martin B. Hocking, Ph.D., professor emeritus of environmental chemistry at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. Moreover, most cold-causing viruses survive better when humidity is low, increasing the chance that a virus will spread from passenger to passenger. (Recirculated air in a plane isn't to blame: A University of California, San Francisco, study found passengers were just as likely to experience cold symptoms if the cabin contained fresh air.)
There's no proven way to lower your risk when flying, but products that combat the drying out of nasal passages may help, especially during flights lasting more than two hours, says Hocking. Some to try: saline nasal drops, sprays, or gels (brands include Ayr, Ocean, Simply Saline), or moisturizing nasal swabs (SkyCap). At the very least, they'll help you breathe more comfortably, preventing nasal crusting, itching, and congestion.

Andy Cohen on Gay Pride, Busta Rhymes, and Real Housewives of Miami: "Mama Elsa Is Everything"
Did you spend your Saturday night watching The Rachel Zoe Project marathon? Have you gotten into verbal altercations over Beverly Hills versus Orange Country? Is your boyfriend hiding his love for Nene Leakes like a meth habit?
These are all signs of a full-blown Bravo addiction. You aren't the only one with this disease. Sadly, there is no cure, and the only man to blame is Andy Cohen.
Cohen, king of reality TV, is the Executive Vice President, Development and Talent of the Bravo TV network, host of Watch What Happens Live, and as of last year, the author of Most Talkative. So while five nights a week you can catch him on late night, we had the pleasure of sitting down with him at Books & Books in Coral Gables. (He and hundreds of soccer moms and fabulous gays, of course.)

New Times: I feel like we see you in Miami pretty frequently.
Andy Cohen: That's because you do. I really do love it. I mean, come on: I'll leave snow behind in New York and then be welcomed by sun in Miami. It's a pretty unreal place.
I know you are single. What about the boys in the 305?
What's not to love? Got to love a man with a tan.
Well, you are here to promote your book, Most Talkative. Tell us about it.
It's one of my biggest accomplishments. It's something I am really proud of. Writing a book is something I never thought I would be able to do.
Is there a chapter that was a breeze to write?
Talking about the whole Housewives phenomenon. I never thought it would be here. I talk about in the book that OC was such a gamble and now we have shows all over the country.

PENDER COUNTY -- Thursday night Pender County residents gave the planning committee suggestions about how to control rapid growth along Highway 17.
One possible fix: something called an overlay district. It allows planning and zoning to control a thousand feet on either side of 17.
It's a topic that drew a big crowd.
Many residents say the meeting to discuss growth is welcome, but overdue.
Hampstead Homeowner's Association president Al Freimark said, "We're going to look back ten years, 15 years, 20 years and say why didn't we do it when we had a chance. In many cases the horse is already out of the barn."
An overlay district might alleviate some of the problems in the fast growing Pender County community. That would mean 1,000 feet on each side of 17, where the planning board could control aesthetics, landscaping and new residential and commercial development.
Another thing on officials' radar: a bypass added to Highway 17.
"It doesn't function well," Freimark said. "There's too many curb cuts. Secondly it also has to look good. People are concerned about aesthetics but they're also concerned about safety and functionality."
Hampstead resident and state Rep. Carolyn Justice attended the meeting. She says meetings like this one are important to the area, because you can't have growth without planning for it.
Rep. Justice said, "We have a real traffic situation in Hampstead and we need to come to some solutions. And the Department of Transportation has jumped in and is willing to do their part -- they just need to know what the citizens want."
The County Planning Commission will now take resident feedback, and hopefully create a citizen task force to oversee the overlay project.

EUGENE, Ore. — Gay marriage will be legal in every state within the next five years. That's the word from the legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
Shannon Minter addressed a full house at the University of Oregon. He's served as counsel for same-sex couples in the California Marriage Equality case which held that same-sex couples have the right to marry.
During the speech he highlighted how far marriage equality has come in just the last few months.
He says the most important thing people fighting for gay marriage rights can do is connect with people one-on-one.
"Encouraging the gay community to really have the courage to share your personal story," said Minter. "Even though it's difficult sometimes to share your personal story with your own family and your neighbors and your friends."
Minter believes Oregon voters will approve gay marriage in 2014 if it makes it on the November ballot.

If Cut, Fiscal Deal Will Pale Against Expectations
By Jim Kuhnhenn
WASHINGTON -- Whether negotiated in a rush before the new year or left for early January, the fiscal deal President Barack Obama and Congress cobble together will be far smaller than what they initially envisioned as an alternative to purposefully distasteful tax increases and spending cuts.
Instead, their deal, if a deal they indeed cut, will put off some big decisions about tax and entitlement changes and leave other deadlines in place that will likely lead to similar moments of brinkmanship, some in just a matter of weeks.
Republican and Democratic negotiators in the Senate were hoping for a deal as early as Sunday on what threshold to set for increased tax rates, whether to keep current inheritance tax rates and exemptions and how to pay for jobless benefits and avoid cuts in Medicare payments to doctors.
An agreement would halt automatic across-the-board tax increases for virtually every American and perhaps temporarily put off some steep spending cuts in defense and domestic programs. Gone, however, is the talk of a grand deal that would tackle broad spending and revenue demands and set the nation on a course to lower deficits. Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner were once a couple hundred billion dollars apart of a deal that would have reduced the deficit by more than $2 trillion over 10 years. Republicans have complained that Obama has demanded too much in tax revenue and hasn't proposed sufficient cuts or savings in the nation's massive health care programs. In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday, Obama upped the pressure on Republicans to negotiate a fiscal deal, arguing that GOP leaders have rejected his past attempts to strike a bigger and more comprehensive bargain. "The offers that I've made to them have been so fair that a lot of Democrats get mad at me," Obama said.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Farouk Abdulmalik: Thank You Sina. A Lie Can Never Succeed
It so sad that even though many people have died because of one so called "religion of peace", people still tend to have this strong devotion to it. Their Mediator, Prophet Muhammad didn't even lead by example (in reference to your wonderful article "sina's challenge"). I thank God that someone as Learned and Knowledgeable as you exists in this world. I wonder how the world would be if faithfreedom.org did not exist. My Dad, Sheikh Ahmad Abdulmalik and three others from my family (including me) got converted after my eldest brother painfully introduced this website to us. I, formally Farouk Abdulmalik (now a christian) never expected my Long-term Role model to be a Rapist, Pedophile, Murderer, e.t.c. It was so disappointing when after reading your article, found out that you were an apostate and your proofs were correct. I am now Christopher by name and I urge every Muslim out there that they should not let pride and stubbornness restrict them from finding the truth: Yes! the truth is bitter but is there a herb that is sweet? No!… I am a victim of Polygamy, Broken home due to never ending quarrels between my mum and my step mum… I know that readers will find it difficult to believe what I am saying but a lie can never succeed in two ways: A lie can be accepted by the audience but the speaker can never lie to himself. I know that I tell the truth, believe me or not, within me I know that I speak the truth. Peace be unto you all. post this on your site.

One of the most important pieces of server security software available is data protection software. The goal of data protection software is exactly that: to protect data. Keep in mind that this is different than data backup software
What if an unscrupulous employee was planning on leaving the company? What if she copied all of your customer account information onto a USB thumb drive? What's stopping her? What if the bookkeeper needed to email employee data to an offsite accountant and an identity thieve intercepted it during transmission thereby gaining access to the Social Security numbers of business's employees? Without data protection software, these individuals could easily access confidential data. With data protection software, they will only see gibberish.
While it makes sense for even the smallest of businesses to protect their data with server security tools, many businesses are required to do so by government regulations. For example, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires health care providers and other "covered entities" to protect sensitive patient health information. While HIPAA's Security and Privacy Rules do not necessarily spell out which data protection software a covered entity must use, they do require covered entities to protect certain types of information.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Public Works Department is considering an expansion of its GPS tracking system. 16 vehicles currently have the monitoring system which allows supervisors to know exactly where a vehicle is located. Hundreds of other vehicles could be added to the program in the next years. Lafaeytte is considering a similar program for public vehicles costing nearly $400,000.

It's been long awaited. Finally, Curt Schilling is expected to get his first start since April. After an early injury, which many thought could cripple the Red Sox, Curt has fought his way from rehab to bullpen, finally back to his role as the ace. Luckily for the Sox, despite the absence of Schilling they have managed to stay in first place for the bulk of the season, showing off the depth of their staff. Now, with Schilling's return, the question is if the Sox will see a stronger finish, a weaker finish, or basically cruise to the end the way they have been all season.
The return of Schilling will leave many questions to be answered in terms of what the Sox do with their pitching staff. In an ironic stroke of luck, Wade Miller's injury could turn out to be a blessing, as the Sox avoid the trouble of having to decide which starter gets the demotion. With Miller out and Papelbon his temporary replacement, it seems definite that Papelbon will be in the bullpen for the duration of the summer, which could be another blessing. After another strong outing against the Angels this weekend, Papelbon has proven his worth in the big leagues, and has been a pretty dominant force in his brief stint. With a live young arm, Papelbon could be a great long or middle reliever in our struggling bullpen. Meanwhile, Schilling's role as a closer was a forgettable one, as he rarely showed the dominance expected. It remains to be seen whether returning to the rotation will be a better fit for Curt down the stretch. Those two moves however, do leave a void in the closer role. With Foulke still a little time away, someone must temporarily fill Schilling's void. Mike Timlin seems like the logical choice, but he has said he would not want the role. So the Sox must find someone else until Foulke returns. Hot prospect Chris Hansen has been rumored to be getting the call- up, but in the midst of a playoff race, the Sox may be wary to do it.
Nevertheless, a healthy Schilling will be a needed boost to a struggling rotation as of late. Dropping four of their last seven (as of Sunday), the Sox's road woes are catching up to them again. But even better than Schilling's immediate impact was what his injury did for the Sox in the long term. It can also be credited to Foulke and Miller, but the injuries to the Sox's pitching staff have allowed the Sox to give their young pitching talents a chance to prove themselves in some meaningful games throughout the season. Guys like Papelbon, Jeremy Gonzales and Manny Delcarmen have provided a great deal of optimism for the Sox's future on the mound. As Schilling finally gets back to his familiar role, the Sox can be comfortable knowing that they have plenty of guys who can help him out if needed.

Los Angeles, Feb 24 Actress Kate Hudson is choosing her films prudently following the birth of her second son in 2011, as she does not wish to spend much time away from her children.
She is mother to nine-year-old Ryder, by her ex-husband Chris Robinson, and 19-month-old Bingham, her son with rocker fiance Matt Bellamy.
Hudson has cut down on her workload in recent years, but has been shooting a recurring role on hit US series "Glee". She admits she prefers taking jobs which involve a short filming period, reports dailystar.co.uk.
"If someone says it's a three-month shoot, I get a little shy because of Ryder in third grade and Bing being 19 months. It's so much to juggle, so I've been doing films that are a little less time (consuming).
"I'm more specific about what they are and I don't want to do work that will take me away from my kids, so I have to really love it," Hudson told UsMagazine.com.

It's Nudy Magazine Day! (Orrrr New Book Day…)
By Jessica Barton on June 1, 2010
Hooray! New books time again!
Some of these look better than others (that's just my opinion) but let's face it! There couldn't possibly be fantastically amazing new books released every single week, otherwise we'd never be impressed when Oprah tells us that a truly life altering one has come along. Right? Right.
Without further ado, new releases for the week of June 1, 2010…
The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons edited by Jerry Beck. Hardcover.
In a world of rascally rabbits, megalomaniacal ducks, and stuttering pigs, what defines greatness? This question was posed to thousands of cartoon fans, historians, and animators to create The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons, the definitive Looney Tunes collection. Evaluated on their comedic brilliance, innovative animation, historical significance, and creative merit, cartoon historian Jerry Beck and the Cartoon Brew team of animation experts reveal the amusing anecdotes and secret origins behind such classics as "What's Opera, Doc?," "One Froggy Evening," and "Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century."
Featuring more than 300 pieces of original art from private collectors and the Warner Bros. archives, The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons settles the debate on the best of the best, and poses a new question: Is your favorite one of the greatest? – via Amazon!
Seriously? I can't even comment on the awesomeness that is this book! I don't know many people who didn't grow up loving Looney Tunes, or at least watching it, so I hope this doesn't disappoint.
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender. Hardcover.
On the eve of her ninth birthday, unassuming Rose Edelstein, a girl at the periphery of schoolyard games and her distracted parents' attention, bites into her mother's homemade lemon-chocolate cake and discovers she has a magical gift: she can taste her mother's emotions in the cake. She discovers this gift to her horror, for her mother—her cheerful, good-with-crafts, can-do mother—tastes of despair and desperation. Suddenly, and for the rest of her life, food becomes a peril and a threat to Rose.
The curse her gift has bestowed is the secret knowledge all families keep hidden—her mother's life outside the home, her father's detachment, her brother's clash with the world. Yet as Rose grows up she learns to harness her gift and becomes aware that there are secrets even her taste buds cannot discern.
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake is a luminous tale about the enormous difficulty of loving someone fully when you know too much about them. It is heartbreaking and funny, wise and sad, and confirms Aimee Bender's place as "a writer who makes you grateful for the very existence of language" (San Francisco Chronicle). –via the publisher!
This sounds almost strange enough to read, to me, but I'm not sold. Maybe when the paperback comes out?
My Name Is Memory by Ann Brashares. Hardcover.
A romance that stretches across centuries and past lives constitutes the core of Brashares's varied second adult novel, the first in a planned trilogy.
The story is primarily that of Daniel, as, in the present, he pursues Lucy (whom he knows as Sophia in a previous life) and attempts to persuade her of their history and destiny, but his passion initially and understandably scares her off. He disappears, presumed dead, but Lucy, unable to forget him, investigates his claims of their history until she discovers the truth. Meanwhile, Daniel takes readers on a tour of romantic near-misses, from sixth-century Africa through eighth-century Turkey to WWI. The story moves slowly and predictably, though when a plot finally materializes, Brashares (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) manages some satisfying momentum, even if the story begins to feel like it's borrowed from a James Patterson novel. Brashares's insights into human nature, meanwhile, should appeal to readers who enjoyed The Time-Traveler's Wife, but can appreciate a Nicholas Sparks-esque sensibility. – via Publisher's Weekly!
Yeah, this lost me at "Nicholas Sparks-esque". Sorry, kids. Not a fan.
Bullet by Laurel K. Hamilton. Hardcover.
Anita Blake is back in St. Louis and trying to live a normal life-as normal as possible for someone who is a legal vampire executioner and a U. S. Marshal. There are lovers, friends and their children, school programs to attend. In the midst of all the ordinary happiness a vampire from Anita's past reaches out. She was supposed to be dead, killed in an explosion, but the Mother of All Darkness is the first vampire, their dark creator. It's hard to kill a god. This dark goddess has reached out to her here-in St. Louis, home of everyone Anita loves most. The Mother of All Darkness has decided she has to act now or never, to control Anita, and all the vampires in America.
The Mother of All Darkness believes that the triumvirate created by master vampire Jean-Claude with Anita and the werewolf Richard Zeeman has enough power for her to regain a body and to immigrate to the New World. But the body she wants to possess is already taken. Anita is about to learn a whole new meaning to sharing her body, one that has nothing to do with the bedroom. And if the Mother of All Darkness can't succeed in taking over Anita's body for herself, she means to see that no one else has the use of it, ever again. Even Belle Morte, not always a friend to Anita, has sent word: "Run if you can…" –via Amazon!
I believe Bullet is part of the vast Anita Blake series, correct? I haven't delved into that world yet but maybe someday. Any thoughts about that?
All right, readers! Keep your eyes peeled on Fridays for whatever book I've decided to review, maybe it'll be worth checking out or maybe it'll blow. It all depends. This week's review will answer the often asked question: "Hey Jessica! What's your all time favorite book?"
So WATCH OUT! For that. There's nobody behind you, I swear.
Man that Bullet one and the Looney Toons book sound like winners. Something I can read (well Bullet anyway's) when I'm drinking coffee or any other socially accepted beverage for book reading.
Thanks for the mention! Tonight (June 1st) I'm signing copies of The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes at the CineFamily/Silent Movie Theatre on Fairfax Ave. In Hollywood. And showing cartoons on the big screen: http://cinefamily.org/calendar/jerrybeck.html#jerrybeck
The Anita Blake series, along with anything written by Hamilton is basically porn fiction. I've flipped through a few of them at the library and bookstore and let's just say Ms. Hamilton must watch a lot of hardcore pornography. A LOT.
I tweeted it Jerry! Peeps should go to that. I would, but I have to shoot my show. Eveyone, go in my stead!
the Anita Blake series started off good, but over the years has turned pretty much to smut. at this point the main character _needs_ to have sex really frequently, and essentially keeps a boy-harem around to deal with it.
I concur w/ Corinne. Anita Blake started out fun. The first 10 are worth a read. But LKH somehow manages to make hardcore sex BORING. An amazing feat!
aimee bender is fantastic. *the girl in the flammable skirt* is full of short stories that showcase her magical and unique style and her novel *an invisible sign of my own* is heartbreaking and beautiful.
shes an LA local and was just at skylight… she'll be at book soup next week so maybe you can go check her out.
i highly recommend!

Just How Good Is RA Dickey?
RA Dickey is the perfect microcosm for this Mets team. Perfect. He's the guy who's performance defies all logic. He's the guy who people are convinced can't be this good. He's the guy everyone is waiting for to fail.
And its just not happening anytime soon.
I'll admit rooting for RA Dickey has been a roller coaster for me. When he was the goofy journeyman knuckler it was impossible not to root for him. He was like a character out of Major League or something. Seemed to catch lightning in a bottle and it was like "lets just milk this for all its worth." Then he got on twitter and did all his religious preaching and was busy climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and it was all amidst the dark offseason of the Wilpons and I couldn't even see his name without wanting to vomit.
But The Dickpiece can climb whatever fucking mountains he wants now. Can talk about God until the cows come home on social media. He can write his books and talk about his babysitters and do whatever he damn well pleases. Because plain and simple RA Dickey is one of the best pitchers in baseball. And I'm not talking about the past few weeks. I'm not talking about this half a season. I'm talking about in general. In the entire league. Since 2010 there have been 65 pitchers that have thrown at least 400 Innings. Of those 65, RA Dickey's ERA of 2.91 ranks SEVENTH in all of baseball. Kershaw, Verlander, Halladay, Weaver, Lee, and Cain are the only pitchers better. No matter how you slice it, he's one of the most effective, reliable, consistent pitchers in the game. It ain't power pitching. It ain't sexy. But it is impressive as fuck in its own right.
And with 10 wins before the break, and 9.0 K/9, if you don't think he'll be in serious contention for the Cy Young you must be outside of your mind. The Dickpiece RA Dickey and your 2012 New York Mets – just out there throwing junk because it keeps fucking working.

The sys admin's daily grind: Terminator
Friend or Foe?
Friends are all about friendship – names and appearances typically don't play any role at all. Sys admin Charly's friend the Terminator is a convincing example.
I work with it almost daily, and we've even spent many nights together: the Terminator. Of course, I don't mean the cyborg character from the movie of that name. The Terminator that I'm talking about is a useful tool for arranging terminals, and I've been using it for some time now as a stand-in for the Gnome shell.

TOMMY -- Gimme a cake.
MAMMA -- If what? -- If you please .
TOMMY -- O, let up on that Pinafore business; gimme a cake!
["Puck," July 2, 1878]
... to put ginger up a horse's fundament, and formerly, as it is said, a live eel, to make him lively and carry his tail well; it is said, a forfeit is incurred by any horse-dealer's servant, who shall shew a horse without first feaguing him. Feague is used, figuratively, for encouraging or spiriting one up.
In Arabye, þei ben clept Gerfauntz; þat is a best pomelee or spotted .. but a lityll more high þan is a stede, But he hath the necke a xxti cubytes long. [Mandeville's Travels, c.1425]
The modern form of the English word is attested by c.1600 and is via French girafe. Replaced earlier camelopard, a compound of camel (for the long neck) and pard (n.1) "leopard" (for the spots).Throughout its whole history the English word is chiefly employed in rhetorical language, in many instances with more or less direct allusion to biblical passages. [OED]
Girl does not go back to any Old English or Old Germanic form. It is part of a large group of Germanic words whose root begins with a g or k and ends in r. The final consonant in girl is a diminutive suffix. The g-r words denote young animals, children, and all kinds of creatures considered immature, worthless, or past their prime.
Another candidate is Old English gierela "garment" (for possible sense evolution in this theory, compare brat). Like boy, lass, lad it is of obscure origin. "Probably most of them arose as jocular transferred uses of words that had originally different meaning" [OED]. Specific meaning of "female child" is late 14c. Applied to "any young unmarried woman" since mid-15c. Meaning "sweetheart" is from 1640s. Girl next door as a type of unflashy attractiveness is recorded by 1953.
Doris [Day] was a big vocalist even before she hit the movies in 1948. There, as the latest movie colony "girl next door," sunny-faced Doris soon became a leading movie attraction as well as the world's top female recording star. "She's the girl next door, all right," said one Hollywood admirer. "Next door to the bank." ["Life" magazine, Dec. 22, 1958]
Girl Friday is from 1940, a reference to "Robinson Crusoe."

Teaching Love and Compassion (TLC)
The Cycle of Violence and Animal Cruelty
The cycle of violence is a vicious pattern in which an adult passes on abusiveness to a child. This pattern results when a child either watches or receives abuse. Growing up, he or she follows the example of the adult and continues the violence by abusing people and/or animals.
"There is a high correlation between domestic abuse, child abuse, and animal abuse. Until someone steps in to stop it, the cycle will continue."
Domestic violence, child abuse and animal abuse are closely attached to one
another, and the cycle will continue until it is stopped. Learn more information
about "The Link".
The Solution: TLC
Teaching Love and Compassion (TLC) is a four-week long violence prevention program designed to teach empathy and compassion to at-risk youth. If students learn to accept animals as living beings with feelings and needs, compassion and empathy aren't far behind. Compassion and empathy toward animals is what prevents violent behavior.
A violence prevention program created to stop the cycle of violence towards people and animals
To break the cycle of violence, animal shelters and schools should work together. spcaLA offers a comprehensive manual on the TLC program.

Introduction to variable annuities
By Steve Savant
Ash Brokerage Corporation
In 1952, variable annuities (VAs) were offered by the Teachers Insurance & Annuities Association in their College Retirement Equity Fund (TIAA-CREF), and then they were used in qualified annuities. It's interesting to note that VAs started in college funding and qualified plans. Apparently, back in their inception inserting a deferred product into a deferred qualified plan was not an arithmetic anathema as some advisors would adamantly contend. The vast majority of insurance companies were reluctant to broaden share in the annuity market because of the state regulatory environment back in the 50s. And although there was growth in VA carriers during the 70s and 80s, the notable increase in sales erupted between 1989 and 1993.
But perhaps the greatest use of VAs, both qualified and non-qualified, came during the period between 2000 to 2006 — a period that became known as the "interest rate arms race" on income benefits. But after the market meltdown of 2008, most carriers modified their VAs, crediting lower interest rates for income and dramatically scaling back benefits. These modifications altered the value of VAs, especially in relationship to their internal expense loads. The credited rates and benefits back in the day were used to offset the internal expense loads, but that has all changed. Steve and Tim take you through a VA history lesson as they introduce you to VAs.

Syria Turning Into Iranian-Turkish War
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On September 9, 2012 @ 4:37 pm In The Point | 2 Comments
There is a point at which a conflict shifts from a proxy war and into an actual war. That would be the point at which both sides are no longer just supplying weapons and intelligence, but are actually on the ground fighting each other.
Iran is all in on the Shiite side of the table.
Western intelligence officials say that Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has personally sanctioned the dispatch of the experienced officers to ensure that the Assad regime, Iran's most important regional ally, survives the threat to its survival.
In addition, Iran has shipped hundreds of tons of military equipment, including guns, rockets, and shells, to Syria through the regular air corridor that has been established between Damascus and Tehran.
On the Sunni side, Turkey may be all in as well, matching Iranian officers with Turkish officers.
Turkish army officers have assumed direct command of the first two Syrian rebel brigades fighting Bashar Assad's government forces,
That report comes from Debka, which can occasionally be erratic, but it's plausible. And if it hasn't actually happened yet, it will happen.
Iran and Turkey are both being drawn into an escalating civil war in Syria. And if the civil war keeps going, then eventually both sides will be fighting each other. The wild card is Western intervention ,which the Sunni side is desperately counting on. Without NATO though, the locals will have to settle this themselves and it will be long and bloody.
Aside from the Sunni-Shiite element, there is the nationalistic issue. The Persian and Ottoman empires have deep regional significance and both are squabbling over a region in conflict. Syria is not a people's revolution, it's a fight over whose puppet Syria will become.
This war became inevitable when Syria allowed itself to become Iran's puppet and shifted into the Shiite side in a developing regional conflict between Sunni and Shiite Islamists. But even without the Islamist ascendance, Syria began acting like Lebanon and it was only a matter of time until regional powers began treating it the way that it had treated Lebanon.

Planning a wedding within budget
By Charlie Harrington For Sun-Times Media
Bubbly sweet: A wedding trend this year, according to One Fine Day Events, is one of true romance, where everything is soft, sweet and very sophisticated. The wedding planning business helped coordinate the recent wedding of Andrea and Gary Lassandrello at St. Christopher Church in Midlothian. | Photo by Heather DeCamp

Saying "I do" to a wedding planner might be the best insurance in which to safeguard your wedding day. Whether you're considering help with your entire wedding or just the day of services, your planner will save you time, expenses and give you the peace of mind to enjoy the most memorable day of your life. Two of the Southland's most reputable wedding planners offer their tips for a couple's big day.
Desiree Dent, president, educator and lead planner of Dejanae Events, which has been serving the area since April, 2000, says the process starts with concept and development by her team asking the couple a series of questions and developing the key players in budget.
"We then put together a 25-page photo catalog with different concepts to show alternatives and information visually," Dent said. "Our couples love this because it serves as a great guide and time-saver when booking vendors.
Dent stresses the extreme importance of working with a given budget while planning the big day.
"Once we have an official allowance, I tell my clients to pick three big dollar items that are important to them. From there, we allocate funds to make sure those things happen. This allows you to know what you can spend for the remaining factors.
"I strongly suggest using a spreadsheet to log purchases and to oversee your spending. This will help you from going over and keep you on track."
Dent explains that couples with smaller budgets still have options, such as E-Wedding planning where the business helps couples plan their wedding via email or over the phone if they have a small budget or are planning from out of town.
"Every couple is different, so we are willing to customize our services to their individual needs," she said.
Gina Vittorio-Orona, senior event planner and owner of One Fine Day Events, which has served Chicago and the Southland area since 2002, says the No. 1 advantage of hiring a wedding planner is to save money.
"The first thing we do is create a budget," Vittorio-Orona said. "That sets the tone for the entire event. We know how much weddings cost and what it takes to get the job done. We do it all for our clients; all packages are customized according to budget. For the brides on a smaller budget we offer a month-of package, the part of the process when things get most hectic."
Vittorio-Orona also stresses the importance of a couple checking out the credentials of those they hire as wedding planners.
"You want to make sure they are professionally certified with the Association of Bridal Consultants or event planning affiliated program," she said. "You want to be comfortable with someone that understands your vision. I became certified in 2002 and have grown from satisfied customer referrals. Websites like theknot.com or weddingwire.com can be helpful when looking for certified professionals and their reviews."
As for trends this year, Vittorio-Orona mentions that "it's all about the blushing bride - a year of true romance where everything is soft, sweet and very sophisticated."
