Yes, you've heard the rumors: Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling are teaming up with Steven Spielberg to make the movie version of this year's indie-hit book. On the other hand, it may all be hype.
Which brings us to Guy's Guide to Feminism … The Talk because this is exactly how you'll get co-author Michael Kaufman to your campus or community for an incomparable night of humor, serious conversation, story-telling, and hard-hitting analysis.
Republican presidential wannabee Newt Gingrich says: "I'd pay a million bucks to hear this talk, but then again, that's what I make for an hour's consulting fees, so…."
President Obama says: "I'll veto any suggestions that this isn't the most informative, thoughtful, and entertaining way you can spend a couple of hours."
North Korean Beloved and Totally-Supreme Fearless Leader Kim Jong-un says: "You want to see beloved and totally supreme? This talk rocks."
The rest of us say: Just write email@example.com
But don't stop there! You can also bring Michael Kimmel to your campus or community for his fantastic lecture that will grip, entertain, and deeply inform:
"Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men". In 1950, most Americans had completed the transition from adolescence to adulthood by age 21 or so. Today, it's more likely to be by age 30. It's a new stage of development, and Kimmel is our tour guide in this presentation based on his best-selling book, GUYLAND. Based on interviews with more than 400 young people across the country, Kimmel offers a glimpse of why so many guys are adrift through their 20s, and offers a road map towards a more conscious adulthood.

We're bringing you two excerpts this week, different but in a way related.
First up is "M is for…Military". On the surface it focuses on the assumption that men are meant to be warriors while women's job is to stay at home. It looks at the assumption that women shouldn't be in the military and sexist attitudes within the military. (Of course, as two men who work for peace, we could have many things to say about armies, wars, and the military, but here we're focusing on one area of discrimination against women.) In passing, it touches on the type type of pressure that goes into turning men into soldiers.
Second is one of our very serious entries: "Rape as as Weapon of War."
As always, we appreciate your feedback and your tweets. Here are this weeks excerpts: Military & Rape as a Weapon of War.
It's Human Trafficking Awareness Day in the US so our Excerpt of the Week is on just that: Trafficking. But since it's a very short entry, we're also including our entry on the Sex Trade and Prostitution.
Millions of women and men are trafficked into prostitution and trafficked into slavery in some very horrible jobs and inhuman living conditions. So if you find yourself tiring at the endless awareness days and months, think of it this way: they're simply a vehicle to raise awareness and encourage all of us, including those with political power, or whose voices in the media or from the pulpits holds authority, to speak out and take action. Or simply think of it this way: your fatigue at endless awareness days is small potatoes compared to what some people endure day in and day out.
Both entries are right here: Trafficking. Sex Trade/Prostitution.

About twenty years ago, the women's movement almost tore itself apart in it's debates on pornography. What is porn, what isn't? How best to respond — education? criminalization? creating feminist erotic alternatives? Who is to decide what is pornography and what is art? How to stop degrading images of women (and men) without giving free reign to fundamentalists who'd like to see all erotic images censored? Does porn by definition lead to violence against women? Is it, by definition, violence against women? Is sexism with clothes off worse than sexism with clothes on?
Our latest "Excerpt of the Week" doesn't attempt to answer these many questions. Nor does it focus on what appears to be the increasingly brutal nature of mainstream porn since those debates. But, the widespread availability of degrading images of women certainly does concern us. So, let's take you inside the office of a Hollywood producer to see what he, his favorite (male) director, and his female Executive Assistant have to say. Fade in….. "P is for…Porn"
Yeah, we've used a lot of humor in The Guy's Guide to Feminism. We want the book to ring true and be fun to read. But it isn't all fun and games. This week's excerpt is about rape and sexual assault.
As men who care about women, it really pisses us off when we hear guys joking about rape. As men who love women, we think it's time for all men to stand up and say, "Enough!" As men who care about our brothers, it's time we reach out to them with messages about sexual consent and about respect.
We also included a second excerpt, "C is for … Consent."
Read on, at "Excerpt of the Week."
In just one generation, age-old ideas about women have been swept aside . . . but what does that have to do with men? Authors Michael Kaufman and Michael Kimmel, two of the worlds leading male advocates of gender equality, believe it has everything to do with them—and that its crucial to educate men about feminism in order for them to fully understand just how important and positive these changes have been for them.
Kaufman and Kimmel address these issues in "The Guys Guide to Feminism." Hip and accessible, it contains nearly a hundred entries—from "Autonomy" to "Zero Tolerance"—written in varying tones (humorous, satirical, irreverent, thoughtful, and serious) and in many forms ("top ten" lists, comics, interviews, mini-stories, and more). Each topic celebrates the ongoing gains that are improving the lives of women and girls—and what that really means for men.
Informal and fun yet substantive and intelligent, "The Guys Guide to Feminism" illustrates how understanding and supporting feminism can help men live richer, fuller, and happier lives

"The Magic Tree"
Kirsten Ulve is a NY-based illustrator who does a wide range of commercial work for print and television. Ulve�s works are eye-catching bursts of retro-contemporary charm with a touch of anime exoticism. Her illustrations, while often of a girlie esthetic, tend more towards the dark side, obliterating any notions of standard cuteness. The Magic Tree, with its gem-hoarding magpie makes me want to shop, but then I quickly get reined in by the excesses of the Clown Vomiting.

If you have shopped for new tires at Tire Discounters then you know that you can get a good deal just by walking in the door.
However, did you know that there is a way for you to get an even better deal? The fact of the matter is that Tire Discounters coupons are out there to help you realize the maximum amount of savings. Think about it like this- you are getting a good deal already but with a little work you could be getting an even better deal by using a coupon! At the end of the day there is really no reason why you shouldn't be using Tire Discounters coupons in order to get a great deal on your purchase!
The good news is that these Tire Discounters coupons are somewhat easy to find if you know where to look for them.
By looking in these spots you will be able to find the coupons that you need in order to get the best deal possible.
• The Tire Discounters coupons website. On the homepage of the website there is coupons that are available for you to use. All that you need to do is simply print out the Tire Discounters coupons that you think fits you the best and take it in with you when you get your new tires put on. All in all, the whole process should take just a few minutes.
• Third party websites. There are other sites out there that specialize in connecting consumers with the coupons that they need. Fortunately for you many of these websites have Tire Discounters coupons that can be printed off and used at the point of purchase. Make sure to compare the coupons together from several sites so that you are sure to get the absolute best deal possible.
• Your local newspaper. Though this may seem old fashioned, one of the best places for you to get Tire Discounters coupons is the local newspaper. Check to see if there are any applicable coupons for your tire purchase. If there are just clip them and take them with you when you go to buy your tires. Remember- there is a chance that Tire Discounters will honor competitor coupons. Be sure to clip all coupons that are related to tires.
One problem that people have is that they are able to locate the Tire Discounters coupons that they need but they are unable to locate a store.
Believe it or not, finding a Tire Discounters location is not that easy. However, if you go to their website you will be able to enter your zip code in order to get the location of the store nearest to you. Using the website makes finding a location very quick and easy. It should be noted, however, that most of the Tire Discounters are located in the Midwest so there is a chance that there is not one local to your residence in which case Tire Discounters coupons would not apply to you.
If you do happen to locate a few different Tire Discounters coupons online it is always recommended that you print them out. Why do this? Simple, because you are going to need to show them when you pay for your tires. Here is the problem- some people do not have a printer connected to their computer. If this is you then the best thing to do is explain to the cashier that you located Tire Discounters coupons but were unable to print it out. More often than not they will honor the Tire Discounters coupons since you took the time to mention it. If, however, they are unwilling to honor the coupon you may want to ask to speak with a manager.
In addition, you may want to call ahead and ask when a new coupon will be out. The employees of the store know when new Tire Discounters coupons are going to become available. If you can get them to tell you what the next Tire Discounters coupons will be for you will be able to see if it is a better deal than the Tire Discounters coupons that you have in hand. If you do find that it is a better deal than you can simply wait until that coupon comes out to make your purchase.
You may also want to ask if you are able to use Tire Discounters coupons with other coupons or with a sale.
For example, if the tires that you want are already on sale at a discounted rate you will want to ask if your Tires Discounters coupons are still valid. In most cases they will make you choose one or the other. However, in rare instances they will allow you to couple your Tire Discounters coupons with the sale to realize even more savings. This is by far the best way to get a great deal on your new tires.
It is a good idea to also check to see what other Tire Discounters coupons are available at the moment. If you are getting new tires you may also want to get them balanced and aligned. This can be expensive unless you have a coupon to use. Using Tire Discounters coupons for these services will lower the overall cost of getting new tires correctly installed on your vehicle.
Finally, you may want to get on the mailing list for Tire Discounters coupons.
Getting on this list will ensure that they will send you the most recent coupons. This eliminates you having to search around for them online and in the newspaper. Simply put, once you are on the mailing list the coupons will be sent directly to your home address. If you get a coupon that you can use then make sure to redeem or save it. Furthermore, you should check the expiration date on the coupons that you receive. You do not want to wait too long to use some coupons as they will expire rather quickly. If you get a coupon that is going to expire quickly the best thing that you can do is get your car in right away so you can get all of the savings.

When faced with the ACL treatment decision, a patient will usually weigh two options, surgery or no surgery. There are a lot of opinions offered as to which path the patient should take.
Every ACL injury is unique to the patient, so this question is best asked of your physician and better yet, a second opinion physician. ACL surgery is an elective surgery and many athletes have chosen not to have it. If the no surgery alternative is chosen, then the patient will then try to determine a course of action that will allow them to continue running or participate in other sports.
Generally, you will know if you can run on your damaged knee or not by the amount of knee strength you still have and the level of pain you experience. Because the ACL is mostly used in supporting the knees in movement such as those found in playing tennis and basketball, (jumping, quick stopping, fast change of directions), these activities are usually stopped for fear of further damage.
For the most part, many ACL damaged individuals are able to continue running or jogging and participating in certain sport activities.
Another option
Unfortunately doing nothing to a damaged ACL can also lead to physical problems later. Studies have shown that left untreated, knee weakness, arthritis, and other structural damage that may lead to a need for knee replacement may occur. Of course, in this situation, running will no longer be an option.
A very conservative treatment we specialize in is Prolotherapy and PRP Therapy (Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy) under ultrasound guidance. We have found that these therapies work on most knee problems with excellent results.
Prolotherapy is a simple injection of dextrose and a local anesthetic, like those used in dentistry work. What the dextrose does is start a very small inflammatory response in the body. Inflammation kicks up the immune system, the immune system brings up fibroblasts which are small cells that produce collagen. In other words the collagen metabolism spoken of before is stimulated. A few injections is of course a lot less invasive than surgery, not to speak of the rehabilitation effort following surgery in comparison. Only in the case of a completely torn ligament is Prolotherapy somewhat limited. If there is a partial tear (sometimes on MRI these may look like complete tears) Prolotherapy maybe able to reconstruct the ligament and strengthen the joint. But even with a complete tear, Prolotherapy treatment is extremely beneficial because an impact with enough force to completely rupture a ligament will also loosen the entire knee structure. Prolotherapy in this situation can strengthen the surrounding tissues giving the patient a better chance of long-term success.
PRP for the knee
A PRP injection delivers a high concentration of endogenous (your own "home-grown") platelets to an area of injury.
To understand the therapeutic value of PRP injections, you need to have a basic understanding of the make-up of blood. Blood is composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It's these platelets that are the injury's "first-responders" and help revascularize an injured area, construct new tissue, and stop the bleeding.
Because platelets play a significant role in the healing of tissue, reintroducing a high concentration of platelets directly into the injured area may enhance the healing process.

ACL Injury and Reconstruction Research
"Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failed to restore normal rotational knee kinematics during dynamic, functional loading and some degradation of graft function occurred over time. These abnormal motions may contribute to long-term joint degeneration associated with ACL injury and reconstruction."
Tashman S, Kolowich P, Collon D, Anderson K, Anderst W.Dynamic function of the ACL-reconstructed knee during running. Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2007 Jan;454:66-73.
ACL injury treated with rehabilitation and early activity modification
Researchers writing in the American Journal of Sports Medicine say "Good functional performance and knee muscle strength can be achieved and maintained over time in the majority of patients with ACL injury treated with rehabilitation and early activity modification but without reconstructive surgery."

Washington, D.C. – Growing up, Shalimar Cabrera never envisioned herself presenting before U.S. Senators as the leader of two sites of the nation's largest nonprofit provider of comprehensive services to homeless and at-risk veterans. "Most people don't know I used to be very shy and quiet, as my parents could tell you," said Cabrera. "Now, I love to meet new people, discuss veterans' issues, and speak to crowds of large sizes."
Cabrera sought out to do something to make a difference in her community and joined the United States Veterans Initiative in Las Vegas (U.S. VETS–LAS VEGAS) eleven years ago as an Outreach Specialist. "It was my responsibility to find homeless veterans on the streets and in shelters or soup kitchens, and other places, to let them know about our services, and help them with the process of abandoning homelessness and coming into the housing programs we offer," said Cabrera. While serving as an Outreach Specialist, Cabrera earned her Master's in Social Work Administration at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and was promptly promoted to the National AmeriCorps Director for the U.S. VETS program. Recently, she was appointed as the Acting Executive Director for the U.S. VETS – Washington, D.C. site.
Cabrera is currently tasked with overseeing ten U.S. VETS AmeriCorps programs, serving more than 10,000 homeless veterans each year. Last week, at the request of Majority Leader Harry Reid (NV), she shared the work of her organization and its commitment to enhancing the lives of veterans during their transition from active duty with Senate Democrats and other leaders from across the country. "I was very honored and humbled to participate in this discussion," said Cabrera. "Senator Reid has been an avid supporter of our veteran programs for years. He has supported us in our efforts to operate the Homeless Veteran Reintegration program which has been instrumental to us placing thousands of veterans into employment over the years."
Senator Reid added, "No veteran should ever find themselves out of work, homeless, or struggling. And I am thankful to Shalimar Cabrera for traveling to Washington to discuss ways the public and private sectors can work together to strengthen veteran's programs that ensure a successful transition to civilian employment. I look forward to working with her, and other organizations that continue to assist our nation's heroes in need."
The discussion focused on initiatives to expand career opportunities for veterans. "Many of the guests at the meeting emphasized the need for employers and the community to recognize the challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life," commented Cabrera. "I was reminded that we must help veterans prepare for the workforce. There were a lot of lessons I will take back to Nevada from this meeting, and it was a reminder of the need for more workforce development programs that can help veterans bridge the military/civilian divide."

{for="Ease of Use" value="10″}Very easy to use.
{for="Performance" value="7″}Performs extremely well; converts quickly and output quality is great. However, the developer makes a claim of being able to converter images to slideshows with this program but during my tests the program would not even properly import images files and input SWF videos are not properly converter. Furthermore, mediAvatar HD Video Converter lacks many of the basic editing features found in rival shareware video converters at this price.
{for="Usefulness" value="9″}I can see many people finding this program useful.
{for="Price" value="7″}$34.99 is in the same ballpark as other rival shareware video converters. However, personally, I find asking almost $40 for a video converter to be crazy considering there are so many of them out there – shareware and freeware. (I didn't hold this against mediAvatar HD Video Converter, though, since it is priced similar to its rivals.)
{for="Final Score" value="7″}
{/rw_score} –>
{rw_badb}mediAvatar HD Video Converter comes bundled with Bing toolbar:
I always find it distasteful when any program requires opt-out instead of opt-in for such options. I find it even more distasteful when shareware programs do this. First of all, in my opinion, shareware programs shouldn't even be bundled with toolbars, nor should they be asking you to change your homepage or default search engine simply because they are shareware: The developer is already making money by selling you the program. However, if shareware programs do have such options they should most definitely be opt-in instead of opt-out.

This article is part of the new Rapid Reviews [3] section on dotTech; thus it has no "full review". Please visit the announcement on Rapid Reviews [4] to learn more about what Rapid Reviews are.
(NOTE: Even though there is no "full review", all software featured in Rapid Reviews are still held to dotTech standards, and are evaluated fully and graded fairly [5]. And, Rapid Reviews still have the program overview, the good and the bad, ratings, quick verdict, free alternatives, and final verdict; Rapid Reviews just have no full review section. dotTech fully stands by all verdicts handed out in Rapid Reviews, just as we back all our verdicts on full Shareware Reviews.)
This review was conducted on a laptop running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. The specs of the laptop are as follows: 3GB of RAM, a Radeon HD 2600 512MB graphics card, and an Intel T8300 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor.

{rw_verdict2}Aside from the issues mentioned above, mediAvatar HD Video Converter is a very good converter; it converts well, converting at a good pace and with very good output quality. I give mediAvatar HD Video Converter a thumbs up. However, I stop short of recommending mediAvatar HD Video Converter – leaving it up to you to decide if you want to get it or not – because there aren't really very many (if any) features that differentiate mediAvatar HD Video Converter from rival shareware video converters. The two features that could potentially differentiate mediAvatar HD Video Converter from rival programs (the ability to convert SWF and create slideshows with images) don't work properly. Furthermore, mediAvatar HD Video Converter charges the same price as other rival shareware video converters, but skimps out on some of the features that those other video converters provide, such as basic video editing capabilities. If I were going to purchase a video converter for $35 – assuming I am not satisfied with the many freeware ones – I would want one that gives me the most bang for my buck.

I am sure you all remember the Charlie Brown comic strip and one of its reoccurring themes of Charlie Brown going to kick the football, only to have Lucy pull it away at the last second, thus causing poor Charlie to miss and fall flat on his back. I thought of Charlie Brown this past week when I got an e-mail from FASB announcing that it had launched a web portal dedicated to providing information pertaining to its activities that focus on issues related to nonpublic entities. The e-mail said it was part of the board's efforts "to better serve the private company and not-for-profit sectors."
Funny, it seems to me that FASB has not been real focused on serving the needs of private companies. They, and the CPAs who serve them, have been clamoring for years that an alternative to GAAP was needed for private companies. And the FASB response to that has been a long history of completely ignoring the issue or merely paying lip service to it. Every time FASB says they understand and the profession thinks that maybe this time it will be different, it ends up being the old "Lucy pulls the football" routine and we never see any change.
But things are finally looking different. Over the past year, through the efforts of a Blue Ribbon Panel (BRP) developed by AICPA, NASBA and FAF, there is the most concerted effort ever to get action on this issue of standards for private companies. The idea is to use GAAP as the base standard and allow exceptions to GAAP where they make sense for private companies. A separate board – apart from FASB – would be appointed to make the decisions on these standards. The board would be made up of individuals with knowledge and experience in the private company world. The new board would be responsible to, and receive oversight from, the FAF.
Clearly the efforts of the BRP have aroused the attention of FASB. They are not keen on a new board coming into existence. Now they are suddenly taking an interest to act like they care about the private companies that have been complaining and asking for relief for decades. It's sort of like now that Charlie Brown has picked up his football and is heading for home, Lucy is crying out – no Charlie; this time I will let you kick it!
All I can say is – don't do it Charlie! Don't be fooled again. This time stay the course – AICPA, NASBA and FAF. Carry the football across the goal line and get a new system in place that can adequately serve the needs of private companies. Members who feel likewise and support this cause can weigh in and write to the FAF to express their support. Here is a link to information on ways you can do that: http://www.tscpa.org/Content/51861.aspx.
This is the moment. The time to act is now. Go Charlie Go!

Remember way back, when the only 'cell' phones were attached to your car dashboard, jelly shoes were considered high fashion, and veggies like kale, beets, and brussel sprouts were not so damn 'hip' in the cooking world… ? Well I remember, and while I do still wish I could say I had a 'car phone,' I never really liked jellies and I happen to love kale, beets, and brussels. I have been eating a ton of kale lately and I wanted to try a little something different with it. I happen to love myself a good kale salad with walnuts and goat cheese so I conjured up an idea of a pesto in which I would use kale and walnuts as replacements for basil and pine nuts. (After congratulating myself on being a culinary genius I googled 'kale pesto' to see what would come up and found about a million recipes for it, but that is neither here nor there). I pretty much winged it for this version, which I feel like you kind of have to do when making a pesto, no? Either way I was amazed at how awesome it came out so I wanted to share.
Note: This might not be the dish you make before an activity in which anyone within a half-mile radius may be able to smell your breath. Consider yourself warned.
1 large bunch of Kale, trimmed
1/4 – 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 cup Walnuts
Handful of fresh basil leaves
2 oz Goat cheese
1 oz Parmesan
Juice of half of a lemon
2-3 Garlic cloves
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the kale in it for about 3 minutes. Immediately run under cold water and reserve some of the cooking liquid in case you need to thin out your pesto a bit.
2. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat and add whole cloves of garlic and the walnuts. Toast for about 10 minutes or until the garlic is a golden brown but not burnt and the walnuts are warmed and toasted. I like to press down on each garlic clove with flat side of my knife to break them up a little before doing this. Remove from pan and set aside to cool.
3. Add the cooked kale, basil, lemon juice, walnuts, garlic, and olive oil to a food processor and pulse until combined. Add parmesan and goat cheese continue to pulse, adding more olive oil and/or some of the reserved kale water as needed to thin out the consistency of the pesto. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
I tossed mine with some whole wheat spaghetti and topped with more goat cheese!

The super-elusive leadership quality
Jump off the hamster wheel and find it
Derek MurphyA recent IBM survey asked global CEOs to name the most important leadership quality they needed, but are hard-pressed to find.
According to the survey of more than 1,500 CEOs from 60 countries and 33 industries worldwide, chief executives believe creativity is the most vital leadership competency.
Yes, you read it correctly. More than rigor, management discipline, integrity or even vision-creativity is the key to successfully navigating an increasingly complex world.
Surprised? Well, think about it. We are coming out of the economic downturn and are now faced with a new "normal". Industry transformation creates uncertainty, and leaders must use creative thinking to discover innovative ways of managing an organization's structure, people, and strategy.
However, most leaders are already so consumed with their current responsibilities that they can't slow down. In other words, they are running on a hamster wheel day after day.
This endless loop causes many leaders to stay stuck in traditional thinking and not focused on new ideas and issues that will move the organization forward.
If you want your company to foster creativity and innovation, you need to break the pattern and step off the wheel. The good news is, creativity is the ability to generate fresh ideas, and fortunately, that is a skill that can be learned.
Here are some tips to follow:
• Make sure you understand your industry, your organization, and its products and services thoroughly. As you review your knowledge, focus on gaps in services or products that you notice, and allow yourself to visualize how to fill in the void.
• Keep current on industry trends by reading at least two articles from a business journal each week.
• Identify people who are known to have good ideas. Listen to them and pay attention to how they form ideas. Read biographies about people who have made a difference.
• Look at your organization's environment. Are imagination and creativity encouraged? To foster an environment of creativity, offer a platform where ideas can be shared and cultivated - especially differing ideas. Passionate discussions and reasonable conflict may ensue, but that's part of the creative process.
• Identify visionaries (sometimes considered eccentrics). Listen to what they have to say with an open mind.
We all know how easy it is to get so caught up working in the business that we're not effectively working on the business. Gaining some creative perspective may be just the trick to stop you from chasing your tail (so to speak).

For folks who are currently deciding on which kind of air conditioner to go for, it is recommended to take into account the points stated below.
Firstly, you should establish the size of the area you want an air conditioner to be installed in. If a room is comparatively small, it will be sufficiently cooled with portable units that are obtainable in different sizes. It should be also added that they can be used for several rooms too.
In order to provide you with more info and make the process of picking easier and faster, there is a need to specify that window units are rather small. In fact, they are intended for cooling small areas only, for instance, bedrooms, and guest rooms. These units are installed into window or special holes in the wall particularly made for them.
As about a central unit it should be pointed out that it functions in conjunction with a furnace or heat pump. In general, such conditioners are located outdoors and wired directly to your fuse box.
To go into more details there is a need to mention that it is extremely important for installer, who is installing a large central conditioning unit, to make sure that the furnace or heat pump is adequate to handle the additional workings. If the case is that it is not sufficient, you will have to buy a new one, and that accordingly means that you will have to spend additional cash. In other words the cost installation of a central unit costs less than a portable one.
You should also take into consideration that usually running a central unit enlarges electric costs at first but after the house is cooled as much as necessary, there will be no need for it to work so intensely to keeping it cool. If you are interested in how you can save some money on electricity, you should know that having a heat pump in your home is a really good solution.
In conclusion, I would like to call attention to that preferring central air con to portable air conditioners can make your house very cozy during all hot months without the worry of overworking it. So, if you are on the lookout for a unit that will cool your entire home, a central unit is the best choice for you to make.

few probably not exceeding from fifteen to twenty who would be really brave enough to make the attempt. but that I thought Hillard was a fair sample of this class a young man of good family, character and reputation honorable, gallant and chivalrous, but thoroughly devoted to Southern rights, and who looked upon the North as being aggressors upon the rights of that section and upon every Northern man as an Abolitionist, and he (Mr. Lincoln) as the embodiment of all those evils, in whose death the South would be largely the gainers. I also told Mr. Lincoln that there would be a very large crowd in Baltimore on the occassion of his passing through that City: that he (Mr Lincoln) had had some experience of the danger in a large crowd from accident which met Col. Hunter at Buffalo where the Police were loyal, but that it would be infinitly worse in Baltimore, where owing to the depression in all kinds of business, there were very many people out of employment, and the crowd would in all probability be very large this with "no Police Escort", or if there was an Escort it would be by a Disloyal Police, and the slightest sign of discontent would be sufficient to raise all the angry feeling of the Masses, and that then would be a favorable moment for the conspirators to operate: that again, as by the published route, he (Mr. Lincoln) in taking the Northern Central Rail Road from Harrisburg to Baltimore, would arrive at the Calvert Street Depot, and would have about one mile and a quarter to pass through the City in an open carriage, which would move but slowly through the dense crowd and that then it would be an easy matter for any assasin to mix in with the crowd and in the confusion of the moment shoot Mr. Lincoln if he felt so disposed: that I felt satisfied in my own mind that if Mr. Lincoln adhered to the published programe of his route to Washington that an assault of some kind would be made upon his person with a view to taking his life. During the time I was speaking Mr. Lincoln listened with great attention only asking a question occasionally. We were interrupted once by the entrance of W. H. Lamon of Bloomington, Ills. who entered the room to give a note to Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Lamon recognized me, but I am positive he could not have known me had he not been informed by some one that I was with the President Elect. After I had concluded Mr. Lincoln remained quiet for a few minutes apparently thinking, when Mr. Judd inquired. "If upon any kind of statement which might be made to him (Lincoln) would he (Lincoln) consent to leave for Washington on the train to-night." Mr. Lincoln said promptly "No, I cannot consent to this, I shall hoist the Flag on Independance Hall to-morrow morning (Washingtons birthday) and go to Harrisburg to-morrow, then I (Lincoln) have fulfilled all my engagements, and if you (addressing Mr. Judd), and you Allan (meaning me) think there is positive danger in my attempting to go through Baltimore openly according to the published programe if you can arrange any way to carry out your views, I shall endeavor to get away quietly from the people at Harrisburgh to-morrow evening and shall place myself in your.

Bark-B-Que: Tri-County Humane Society Hosts Shindig For You and Your Dog
Categories: Ethical Eating, Things To Do
Tri-County Humane Society via Facebook |
Psst...Hey mister. Got a spare burger for a hungry guy? |
On Sunday, January 6 from noon - 3 p.m., take your furry friend to the Tri-County Humane Society (21287 Boca Rio Road, Boca Raton) for a fun-filled afternoon of food, fun, and games.
Kids and grownups can have fun at the rock wall, bungee trampoline, a dunk tank, doggie vendors, and raffles.
There's even a smooch-a-pooch booth where you can pucker up with a pet for charity.
Your canine companion will enjoy treats from the doggie treat bar and muttinis.
Humans can chow down on veggie burgers, hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, mac and cheese, and coleslaw.
Admission to the Bark-B-Que is $10 per person, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Tri-County Homane Society, which is a 100% no-kill animal shelter serving Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
Don't have a furry friend (or looking to add another pup to the posse?) -- the society's adoptable dogs will be all gussied up and ready to meet you. If you're a cat person, don't fret -- there are plenty of adoptable kitties who are more than willing to lend a cuddle.
For more information on the Bark-B-Que or pet adoption, call 561-628-2595.

SPIN's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time
Back when Twisted Sister ruled the airwaves and Metallica controlled the underground, Schuldiner was perfecting his own metal style that set new standards for extreme. Built around chunky, downtuned guitar riffs that bled into guttural screams, the genre his band Death helped create — death metal — sounded wholly primordial. Schuldiner constantly expanded his vocabulary, becoming more technical with elements of prog, inspiring Opeth, Nile, and legions of black-clad Guitar Center employees the world over.
Most Heroic Moment: The propulsive riffing and discordant soloing on 1988's "Pull the Plug." K.G.
Once the Meat Puppets hit their stride you could count the number of seminal punk-rock bands in Phoenix, Arizona, on one finger. Thank Curt Kirkwood's desert-brewed guitar style fusing country, psychedelia, and early hardcore into one glorious morass — imagine Jerry Garcia in an SST food processor. Kirkwood's swirl'n'twang is a formative influence on Kurt Cobain and Animal Collective, but no one has really sounded like him since.
Most Heroic Moment: 1984's "Split Myself in Two," the solo which aims to feel as high as Kirkwood probably was when he wrote it. A.B.
The Pink Floyd founder's prodigious guitar skills are often overshadowed by his oddball songwriting, kaleidoscopic production, and the whole brain-melted rock-archetype, crazy-diamond thing. But Barrett's tape-echoed, time-bending solos — often aided by Zippos and ball bearings on the fretboard — might have been the most outside thing about his music, pushing his ornate songs from mere psychedelic gnome-battling nuggets into truly box-destroying music.
Most Heroic Moment: Any one of those sky-shattering, 15-minute bootleg versions of "Interstellar Overdrive" from '67. J.J.
He can noodle you into submission, but chops aren't what make Doug Martsch's playing so charming. It's the doodly little riffs he pairs with his endearing whine like a fine wine — bloopy nuggets of melody wound around his voice that you find yourself humming long after the final chorus fades. Attend a BTS show and prepare to hear a lot of dudes singing guitar solos in your face.
Most Heroic Moment: Built to Spill's cover of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" on 2000's Live is like a 20-minute dissertation presentation on rock's rockingness. C.G.
Kim played bass in Pixies because Joey Santiago had dibs on guitar, but a year after Frank Black killed the band via fax, she was ripping one of the most beloved guitar riffs of the '90s onstage at Lollapalooza with her own quartet. Like the bong in the reggae song, the Deals' twin guitar work is totally chill yet completely precise, zonked but in the zone.
Most Heroic Moment: Kelley handled the bruising lead line on Last Splash's "Saints," a song so arena-ready the rest of the band takes a breather. C.G.
Jumping with an infectious playfulness from free-form improvisation to intensely metrical charts to art-pop glee, British guitarist Fred Frith is a vital link between the Canterbury art-proggers of the late '60s and the downtown New York avant-jazz circles of the early '80s. A founding member of dadaistic prog-punks Henry Cow — members of the U.K.'s Rock-in-Opposition movement — Fred Frith may not have killed fascists with his guitar the way Woody Guthrie did, but he surely made them blink uneasily with his dense note-clusters, chains-on-fretboard scrapes, and sudden turns of unexpected beauty.
Most Heroic Moment: All of Frith's schools of guitar playing melt to unadorned tenderness in the solo volume swells of 2002's "Fooled Again." J.J.
In the early '90s while Metallica were finding their groove and death metal's leading names were playing stiffly, Mayhem mainman Euronymous was in the basement of his Oslo record shop, applying corpse-paint makeup and pushing the limits of murk and melody — essentially inventing the way an entire generation plays black-metal guitar. Known for eschewing the chugga-chugga technique known as palm-muting, the axeman moved toward harsh, aggressive melodies that have more in common with Mahler than Megadeth. In the process, every chilly, agoraphobic black metaller from Watain down to Liturgy (not to mention dabblers like Sonic Youth and the Microphones) owes him a debt of gratitude.
Most Heroic Moment: The brittle caterwauls of "The Freezing Moon," as heard on Mayhem's 1990 concert recording, Live in Leipzig. K.G.
His father having worked in the broadcast industry, Sage grew up in a home with a lathe for cutting records. That freedom to write and record and cut records on his own made for some of the most singularly electrifying guitar music of the '80s with the Wipers, a blown-out mix of punk energy and transportive longform soloing, the perect blend of Pink Floyd and Pink Flag. Sage's experiments rarely repeated themselves, except in the work of his many admirers, including Kurt Cobain.
Most Heroic Moment: The knee-buckling noise of Youth of America's 14-minute title cut. D.B.
As renowned for his imbibing as for his raw, rootsy chops, Thunders was punk's answer to Keith Richards — sadly, minus Keith's nine lives. In his brief time on Earth, this ex–New York Doll set the tone for every future punk strapping on a Les Paul. He balanced his sublimely sloppy power chords with graceful, sensitive licks (see "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory") — a turn not lost on Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong.
Most Heroic Moment: 1977's "Born to Lose," the spirit of '50s rockabilly channeled through a wave of desperation and the kerchunng! of Thunders' axe. A.B.
College pals with John Fahey, Baltimore native Daniel Robinson Jr. dubbed himself Robbie Basho following a mountaintop peyote trip, and after discovering Ravi Shankar's music when the Beatles were still mugging in black and white. Bringing ragas to the acoustic guitar while recording for John Fahey's Takoma label in the '60s, Basho's open-tuned meditations laid the groundwork for New Age, rescued after his untimely death in 1986 by a new generation of cosmonauts, ultimately spawning contemporary art-drone.
Most Heroic Moment: Spotting Eastern mysticism in cloudbanks drifting above the Great Plains on 1971's "A North American Raga." J.J.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been enjoying getting to know the new addition to their family – an adorable black Labrador puppy.
Prince William is said to have delighted Kate with the dog for her 30th birthday (January 9) and the fluffy bundle of joy is keeping the Royal couple on their toes.
Sporty Kate enjoys an active lifestyle and she has been straight to work training and walking the pup.
A source told The Mirror: "The dog is ever so cute.
"The Duke and Duchess have been seen with it several times and he runs along at their heels.
"They are constantly in fits of laughter as it tries to catch them up."
The Royal pooch is expected to travel with Catherine and Wills as they split their time between their London and North Wales homes.
If the dog is treated half as well as the Queen's beloved corgis, he is sure to be King of the kennel.
According to the Daily Mail, a former royal chef once revealed that a daily menu for the dogs would be typed up and posted on the kitchen wall.
"They'd have poached chicken or liver, or rabbits shot by William and Harry which we'd clean, cook, debone and chop for them," he explained.
"We also baked scones which the Queen crumbled up and put on the floor for them."

This is my 'pimple day' face wash. Especially during those times of the month when my skin (hormones) goes CRAZY!! Cetaphil has now become my 2nd favourite. This tops my list for times of reddened, sensitive, pimple day product. Yes! And it's cheaper than Cetaphil! I need only a pump or two, lather it up with a bit of water and massage into my skin. I love the feel and it seems to have a calming effect on my skin. It balances the pH of your skin. It removes makeup as well but I prefer wiping off my makeup with cleansing oil and then use this to really make sure I get everything off during pimple day. Highly recommended. Somehow, I don't find any review on this product on the internet. Is it only for Simple Skincare Malaysia? hemmm...I wonder...
I have combination skin, and was trying out this product, since it advertised deep cleansing. It cleansed deep, alright. My skin went super flaky and dry AND oily at the same time. 0/10 would not use again. I am now using it as handsoap because of how much of oil it "cuts" through so easily.
More reviews by indigocrystal88
i live in the hot and humid tropics and need to wash my face at least twice a day. i have dry/combi skin and other products i've used have left my skin dry and taut, sometimes peeling around the mouth area. i also get little bumps on my forehead as my skin was not cleansed properly.
thus i switched to this product two years ago and my skin condition has improved greatly. it helps to leave my skin clean and soft, not dry. i would recommend to others as it is not expensive,does not irritate skin, and does not have strong fragrance.
i also use the toner from simple to hydrate my skin.
This comes in a pump bottle. I got this after I could not find the one I usually used. This is a soap cleanser and after washing my face with this, it felt very average. I do not think it does much as a cleanser but the good thing is my skin did not get irritated.

Three weeks ago several Miami television stations reported that Dante Starks, a black patrol officer, was a suspect in the rape of a South Florida woman. The Metro-Dade Police Department has not confirmed those reports, though a spokesman has acknowledged that the department's professional compliance bureau and sexual battery section "are conducting a criminal investigation of one of their police officers." Officials have also confirmed that Starks was suspended from the force, with pay, two days after the 911 call. Additionally, a detective in the media relations division, in the presence of a reporter, referred to the 911 tape recording as "the Dante Starks tape." (The tape was released to the media late last week after New Times filed a series of increasingly specific public-records requests.)
The department, however, will not explain why Starks has been suspended. "He will remain suspended until the Professional Compliance Bureau issues its findings," explains Det. Pat Brickman, a department spokesman, "or until the State Attorney's Office presses charges." (Regarding the possibility of a second officer being involved in the alleged rape, police officials are circumspect but skeptical. "We have no reason to believe that more than one police officer was involved," says Detective Brickman.)
New Times first wrote about Starks more than a year ago ("Dante's Inferno," April 13, 1995), after eight female Metro-Dade officers charged him with sexual harassment. In a sworn statement to department internal affairs investigators, Ofcr. Robin Ables said Starks, who was her commanding officer at the Northside substation, had sexually assailed her in late 1993, going so far as to stick his tongue in her ear. Ofcr. Sherrill Robinson testified that Starks fondled her buttocks while they were alone in an elevator in 1989. That same year, Ofcr. Marlenes Caceres reported a similar incident. Each of the other five female officers also gave sworn statements to investigators.
"Collectively," concluded a panel of high-ranking officers who investigated the charges, "these incidents indisputably support the finding that [Starks's] actions were at times criminal...and always irreproachable [sic] as a member of the Department. The liability in Sergeant Starks's behavior is too great to assume, for himself, the Department, and those female employees with whom he may interact in the future."
Despite the panel's clear recommendation that Starks be fired, his supervisors demoted the probationary sergeant to patrol officer and transferred him to the Miami International Airport substation. A short time later he moved to a downtown substation at Biscayne Boulevard and 29th Street, known as the Police Operations Bureau, where he patrolled the Rickenbacker Causeway and the Port of Miami. The August 7 telephone call to 911 came during Starks's regularly scheduled shift.
Starks, who has not been charged with a crime, could not be reached for comment for this story. In the April 1995 article, he denied that he had verbally or physically harassed anyone. "Sexual harassment is a serious problem," he said. "But it's gotten to the point where it can be lodged against anyone at anytime and you have no defense. The people that truly know me know I am not capable of this type of behavior. It's not in my character."
Though Starks's superiors declined to fire him, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) found probable cause that he is guilty of the harassment charges. A formal hearing, similar to a criminal trial, will be held to determine his guilt or innocence. If guilty, he could be stripped of his credentials to work as a police officer in Florida.

In Chinese, scalpers are called "yellow cows". It's an old story, with its origins back in the mists of ancient days in the Middle Kingdon. But this month, Apple has been forced to stop direct sales of its iPhone 4 at its retail outlets in Beijing and Shanghai due to rampant scalping.
Just 13 days after the company launched the new phones in the communist country, the "yellow cows" started milking what they saw as a golden opportunity, and all hell broke loose.
After Apple launched the popular handset in China on Sept 25, customers began lining up in front of four main Apple stores in the two cities. But as often happens in that land that Mao launched, the popularity of the iPhone 4 gave China's legions of "yellow cow" scalpers their golden opportunities.
What did these savvy scalpers do? They hired people to line up outside Apple stores and charged an extra 600 yuan per phone. According to the Shanghai Morning Post, the Sanlitun Apple store was forced to close it doors on Sept 29 due to "yellow cow" activities.
In the wake of the attack of the ''yellow cows'', Apple China has now announced new rules for purchases of the iPhone 4 on its website. Customers have to pre-order the phone online with their real name and pick it up from Apple outlets with their identity card or passport.
Each customer can only pre-order one iPhone 4 per day, in order to discourage scalping.
"It's a very good way to prevent scalping," said one Beijing office worker, adding: "In fact, I'd rather not have an iPhone 4 than pay unscrupulous scalpers."
