Just in time for the 2000 election season, David Mixner, once called by Newsweek "the most powerful gay man in America", has offered us an astonishing new book "BRAVE JOURNEYS: Profiles in Lesbian and Gay Courage". These inspiring life narratives written by Mixner (with collaborator Dennis Bailey) provide a bracing challenge to lesbian and gay citizens as we face our political reality in the new millennium.
By Jeff Walsh
David Mixner and President Clinton were born three days apart. Both dreamed of serving their country, but there was one difference between the two men. Mixner is gay, Clinton (quite obviously) is not.
In his brutally-honest and fascinating book "Stranger Among Friends," Mixner chronicles his life in politics. He was responsible for organizing the largest march to protest the Vietnam War, and has been active through the time he was a high-ranking openly gay advisor to then-Governor Clinton in the 1992 campaign.

How to Use Fish Sauce
by Andrea Albin in Food Network Magazine, June 8th, 2013In Food Network Magazine, we occasionally make Southeast Asian-inspired recipes that call for fish sauce, like the Rice Noodle-Shrimp Salad (pictured above) in our June issue. This sauce is a staple of Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam and really the entire region, and is usually made from fermented anchovies. Sounds scary, we know, and it can smell scary, too — very pungent. But it can be surprisingly subtle and can add an astounding depth of flavor as well as authenticity to a dish. We're lucky that we can now find fish sauce in the Asian section of most big grocery stores. But if you are lucky enough to live near an Asian market, you will likely see several different brands on the shelf, each of different origins and with its own subtly unique flavor.
In November of last year, right before we started developing our recipes for June, I had the good fortune of visiting Vietnam. The food, of course, was amazing. And while there, I was surprised to learn about the variety of fish sauces and fish sauce blends they used. The most common variety by far is nuoc cham: fish sauce diluted with water, sugar and lime juice, usually seasoned with garlic and fresh chilies. Not only is it delicious, but because its flavor is slightly more subdued, it is the perfect starting point for fish sauce novices. In the Rice Noodle-Shrimp Salad, I created my own version of nuoc cham as the salad dressing. It imparts tons of flavor to the rice noodles, but it's also extremely versatile: It's great as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken, for instance.
Here's the simple recipe:
Stir together 1/3 cup of fish sauce, the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/2 cup water, half a thinly sliced jalapeno, 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 finely grated garlic cloves.

Mmmm. Looks delicious! I want a bite.
I think about being out on a patio. A bright sunny day. This salad and a cool lemonade.

My favorite use for fish sauce is my homemade shrimp Pad Thai. Its killer and totally authentic!
you Really make it sound like it's from a Fear Factor episode. Scary? Novices? What gives FN? There should be a similar streak when you guys describe blue cheese but since it's Western, therefore it's ok and safe to eat, whereas if it's Asian and exotic, everyone must be on their toes… your subtle discrimination is as you put it, astounding.

bigh0rt wrote:The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - 8/10 -- So I saw the original Hunger Games movie in the theater and was kinda ehh on it. I couldn't put my finger on it, but ultimately I found myself for the better part of the early movie just having trouble immersing myself in the environment, and it really took away from me following a lot was going on. Just the whole style and dress and districts and all that was going on and probably explained very clearly within the pages of the book were just laid out for me to digest in the opening few scenes and I was meh about it. Not to say I couldn't follow it, but I wasn't into it. So when I left the movies, I said, eh, it was okay, worth seeing I guess. So my fiance wants to see Catching Fire, so I suggest that we re-watch the original movie on Netflix prior to it. Man I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed the movie much, much more with a second viewing. I was able to jump right into the plot, follow smaller details, and get into all of the happenings. I enjoyed it a lot, and it made me enthusiastic about seeing Catching Fire. I thought Catching Fire was a better movie than the original Hunger Games. The ending has a very Empire Strikes Back feel to it, which may leave some dissatisfied, but I really thought it was well done, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The only issue I had was being able to, almost too closely, script the entire movie before ever seeing it, or having read a single word of any of the books. When I was talking to my fiance's sister, who has read them all, I told her what I expected from this movie, and really nailed even some of the details on how Katniss would be drawn back into the games, and the ultimate result. I mean the foreshadowing was there from the first book/movie, of course, and one would assume that as the main character, she'd presumably wind up back in the games, but still, it's very rare I can predict so clearly what I'm about to watch (except when I'm watching a Jets game). Still, very much worth seeing.

When it comes to fireworks shows, the extravaganzas on New Year's Eve come in a close second to those on the fourth of July. It seems that nearly every city in the world has a show to offer. For those of you here on the First Coast, or anywhere else for that matter, why not avoid the crowds and go watch the show from on the water?
This year's fireworks show, will be launched right at midnight, from barges in the St. John's River. The city says they will be stretched from in front of the Landing down to Metropolitan Park. They can be viewed on land from either bank of the river. If you do choose to head out on the water to catch the show, then the best spot is just south of the Hart Bridge, where no buidings or bridges will obstruct your view. Make sure not to get too close to the barges though as they will certainly be cordoned off. Call (904) 630-3690 for more information or visit the city's website for more information: http://www.coj.net/Departments/Recreation+and+Community+Services/Special+Events/New+Years+Eve/default.htm
Taking your boat out to watch the fireworks has a number of advantages. First and foremost, you can avoid the crowds at the Landing or elsewhere and enjoy the show at your leisure. You don't have to fight for a good seat, listen to the annoying commentary of the people next to you, or sit in traffic to get back home. Second, the view is unparalleled. There are no nearby lights, trees, or buildings to obstruct your view, and you can get pretty close to the launching point. Finally, it is an easy way to take out the family, some friends, or just that special someone, relax and have a glass of wine, and enjoy the delights of boating while ringing in the new year. And really, is there a better way to celebrate the beginning of 2010 than that?

One of our world's most stunning features, they cover more than 70 percent of the planet, comprise 99 percent of its habitable space, and house the greatest diversity of major plant, animal, and microbial species, from the simplest to the mightiest on earth.
Their importance to all life cannot be underestimated. Oceans regulate the climate, produce half of the earth's breathable oxygen, and are a huge source of food. For the one billion coastal humans who depend directly upon them, the oceans are life itself.
And because of some pretty careless industrial human activity, our oceans are in a lot of trouble right now.
We've made significant progress to turn the tide towards ocean conservation, but a lot more needs to be done in a short time. By working together, we can save the oceans.
The problems taxing the ocean are caused directly by what's available at the seafood counter. As demand for fish grows, destructive fishing and aquaculture continue to increase to meet the demand. We are working to change seafood choices made at a wholesale level by working with supermarket retailers to make sustainable seafood the only choice available. Read more
Tuna is one of the world's favorite fish. It provides a critical part of the diet for millions of people, as well as being at the core of the world's luxury sashimi markets. But, did you know that globally tuna stocks are under threat, or that the tuna industry is one of the main drivers behind the shark fin trade?/p>
Our appetite for tuna is pushing several species of sharks, turtles, and tuna closer and closer to extinction. As more and more people consume tuna there has been a surge in the number and capacity of tuna-fishing vessels across the world. Read more
A few countries, namely Japan, Norway and Iceland, continue to ignore a 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling—every year they kill thousands of whales to feed a black market of illegal whale meat.
For more than 40 years Greenpeace has been at the forefront of the fight to end this needless slaughter of one the most magnificent creatures on the planet. We are working to ensure that the Obama administration uses their diplomatic leverage to close the loopholes and end all commercial whaling. Read more
The waters of the Bering Sea-—between Alaska and Russia— are a rich marine environment that's home to a diverse array of wildlife. Polar bears, seals, sea lions, walruses, whales and millions of seabirds make their home here.
The Bering Sea is also one of the most productive fishing spots in the world. But, the fragile ecosystem cannot sustain this level of commercial fishing without paying a price. Read more
In order to protect the world's oceans, portions of it have to be left alone. A marine reserve is like putting a giant "Do Not Disturb" sign around an area of the ocean. These protected areas are so important to the future of our oceans—giving wildlife a safe haven free from danger.
We are working to convince governments and the United Nations that marine reserves are critical to the oceans' future. We are advocating for setting aside 40% of the world's oceans as marine reserves. Read more

This person spews out so much false information about sex and hiv transmission it's insane and does so during today 3/12/13 Marriage equality testimony at the Minnesota House. I hope that some medical experts help him figure out why what he said was completely untrue and truly disgusting in the concept of civil equalities towards ALL Minnesotans which has ZERO to do with sexual acts.
Pretty simple formula guys:
Woman + Vagina Barrier = Safety from AIDS
Man + Sodomy(Anal/Oral Sex) = AIDS
AIDS + AIDS = Super AIDS
Super AIDS + Gay Communities = Boils On Hands, Feet, Lips, and Butt

Pilate once asked of Jesus, "What is truth?"
The Magus asked the same to a school teacher on an island.
We've yet to get an answer not forthcoming.
Andre Rand grants an interview one day,
Changed his mind the next day.
Where are the bodies buried?
Maybe I'll tell you, then maybe I won't.
We all like to play games, don't we?
We've problems keeping the narrative straight.
What with alcoholics & junkies & all
With sudden razor sharp memories clarified when sober,
In minute devilish details too bizarrarie.
Yet can they ever be reliable?
What happened with two blondes that vanished in Aruba?
How many did Henry Lee Lucas kill?
Two hundred? Three thousands perhaps? Or just fifty?
Who was the real Jack The Ripper & who wasn't?
The Jury's still out about that one.
Same goes for the Boston Strangler.
Any certainty that this guy really got caught?
Or did we get lucky?
Devil's in the details with the Herman W. Mudgett case.
Not everybody knew exactly what in his Murder Castle.
Too many holes in the plot involving Osama Bin Laden.
What with the Navy Seal Six invading his compound.
None too eager to find out what the real story is or was.
West Memphis Three finally let out scot free.
The courts were unwilling to retry the case.
Too complicated they say.
Perhaps too unwilling to discover what really happened
In the Robin Hood Hills.
Already known about the three boys & their deaths
But the narrative got corroded with Satanic Panic.
Take a look/see at the unsolved:
Black Dahlia, William Desmond Taylor, Jon Benet Ramsey
And most famously The Monster Of Florence.
Let's not forget that Lizzie Borden bit.
Nobody wants her hanged yet shunned her they did.
Perhaps in the back of their minds,
Maybe she did kill those two.
Same goes for Casey Anthony.
She's not exactly truthful herself.
But the haunting question still remains:
How did the little girl die?
Any relations to any above mentioned?
It's all about the spinning of the truth.
A matter of perspective.
Every war is a propaganda.
It's the turning a trick or two in untruths unknown.
It's all about the control of the narrative.
Who gets to tell them?
Solving them produces migraines,
Instigates nervous breakdowns,
Not to mention destruction of reputations elsewhere.
We all want to tell stories around campfires
To disturb our sleep for good or ill.
Pretend that crimes are ever so easily solvable.
Many versions of Sweeney Todd are caught & executed.
Now we go back to sleeping comfortably, nicely, & safely.
Believing all is right with the world & with the universe.
We all like that, don't we? Why we like playing games?
To date, there are many various versions of the truth.
Countless versions of lies & deceit easily dispensable.
Not to mention multiple speculations
Extrapolated between fact & fiction.
Just take your pick of any you like.
All readily available in some vending machine
Installed somewhere in Schenectady
Or most likely in the cybernetic confines of the interwebz.
However, few words to the wise & perhaps to the foolish:
Beware of the disappointments ahead.
Disillusionments can be catastophic
When facts monkey wrench your truth.
Could, & would very well be another urban legend.
Sometimes, a pinheaded prick,
Presumed, & believed innocent,
Trips up getting caught in another scene of the crime.
Very likely guilty as sin already.
Heard the Devil's laughter in the dark background.
"Joke's on you, sucker," he said.
I returned with a retort: "Laugh it up, asshole."

I just called the pub and they said they'll show it so long as there is no major football on. I just checked sky and ESPN and there is no football on apart from the 12:45 game
Anyone coming for a few jars? I'm looking forward to both games for firstly for the Welsh factor and then the best derby in RL
P.S. I'm sure they'll show the Saints V Wire game too upstairs if anyone is interested enough to give them a bell (I can't make that game)

So, now to my Blog...it's a long-time-thing I wanted to do, I want to write a regular Blog, but I didn't know where and what about. But I'm sure, it's going to be about music. :D Haha, how weird is that? I hope you guys will like it and follow it.

Q: A couple of years ago we were sitting on our porch enjoying some beers, but not enjoying all the flies. A friend suggested hanging up plastic bags of water to repel the flies.We tried it, and it works, but we have never known
why. What's the deal?
A: My first thought was that this was just about the most cockamamie idea I had ever heard, but then I looked at my pay stub and decided the water-bags thing didn't sound so weird after all.
Apparently there is something to this, but no one seems to know why.

Top BrewDog Tweets of 2011
Another year, another load of dubious chat restricted to 160 characters. From our bars to our brewmasters, we're not afraid to get our tweet on. So whether you want to get the lowdown on the everyday goings on or even snag yourself some cheeky exclusives, get on board and start following our Twitters!
Not a follower already? Need yourself a little more convincing? Check out some of our top tweets of 2012 to see what you're missing:
@BrewDogJames– "Roger Protz who described us as 'lunatic self publicists doing great harm' & 'over-inflated ego-maniacs' now wants to come visit. Go figure."
Redefining the face of the UK beer industry is no mean feat but no matter how hard you try and please some people, you're always going to get those who try and make it meaner. One such individual is Roger Protz – renowned beer writer and CAMRA brown nose – who was seemingly unimpressed by our 'over-inflated ego-maniacs' on a number of occasions. Roger then attempted to invite himself round for tea and biscuits. We graciously declined.
@brewdog – "If you were a shareholder, you may even be able to suggest the next animal we stick a beer in... bit.ly/pp5Izn #EquityForPunks"
We have a thing for sticking beer inside animals. Stoats. Squirrels. Deer. You name and we'll stick a beer in it; literally. Follow the official BrewDog Twitter and you can tweet us suggestions for just about anything, well anything related to beer, hats or penguins that is.
@BrewDogBarBecca – "Was just given discount at the place I get my hangover bacon rolls for being a 'regular'! I don't know whether to be elated or depressed..."
Becca our now infamous project manager isn't just a beer wench, she's a wench that traverses the length and breadth of the country making sure our growing fleet of BrewDog bars open on time and to standard. Thankfully for the lovely Becca, she can reward a hard day's work with some of the best craft beers the world has to offer. Every day for Becca results in a hard day's work.
@BrackenBrewDog – "Whisky cask Jenga rocked! Next-up, Extreme Pop-up Pirate! Summer Interns: prepare to barrel-up. Everyone else, grab a malt shovel!"
We like dogs, they kind of rock, which is why the CEO of BrewDog has four legs instead of two. He wears sailor suits, has a penchant for blue sky thinking and knows when you're about to make a ham sandwich, even before you do. Bracken has also been known to wield a quip or two in his time so if you're into acerbic observations typed by the paws of a pooch, follow Bracken today. Alternatively, if you've got a king charles who's familiar with a keyboard or a beagle with high speed broadband, why not let your own dog do the tweeting and get them to follow Bracken as well.
@MartinDickie – "Just had the best bath ever involving 2 packets of salt and vinegar squares and a bottle of irn bru."
Working for the UK's most forward thinking and edgy craft brewery is tough. It's even tougher when you're the brains behind the operation in terms of concocting great tasting recipes and pushing the boundaries in how to brew them. Martin – BrewDog's co-founder and head brewer – rarely stops working but when he does he swaps the mash tun for the bath tub whilst kicking back with an old school classic and a bottle of bubbly.Oh, and he sometimes tweets from the bath as well!
Posted in - brewdog-news
- You should sack whoever posts as @brewdog. Had to unfollow for over use of 'scamps'. He tweets like he's a childrens entertainer at a holiday resort. BenH04.01.2012

Peter, I have potassium gluconate. Does that not work as well as citrate for Os. Would you recommend increasing the natural thyroid and iodine if my temp. is still way below normal- 97? Thanks, Alice

The Oben BA-2 Ball Head is a sturdy, lightweight aluminum ball head for photography. With a load capacity of 26.45 lb, the BA-2 head will support DSLR cameras even as they're equipped with long, heavy telephoto lenses and multiple accessories.

The quick-release plate easily snaps and locks into place on the BA-2 head. The safety lock on the quick-release mechanism prevents the camera from disengaging inadvertently.

Toyota did not immediately comment on the report. Shares of the automaker climbed on the New York Stock Exchange following the news. Toyota shares were up more than 4 percent, to 89.00 in mid-afternoon trading.
Toyota paid the U.S. government a record $48.8 million in fines for its handling of three recalls. The company has said it has not found any flaws in its electronic throttle control systems and said the previously announced recalls have addressed the safety concerns.
LaHood said NASA engineers "rigorously examined" nine Toyotas driven by consumers who complained of unintended acceleration. NASA reviewed 280,000 lines of software code to look for flaws that could cause the acceleration. Investigators tested mechanical components in Toyotas that could lead to the problem and bombarded vehicles with electro-magnetic radiation to see whether it could make the electronics cause the cars to speed up.
A preliminary part of the study, released last August, failed to find any electronic flaws based on a review of event data recorders, or vehicle black boxes.
Despite its findings, LaHood said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was considering new regulations to improve safety. They include requiring brake override systems on all vehicles, standardizing keyless ignition systems and requiring event data recorders, or vehicle black boxes, on all new vehicles.
Transportation officials said they would also consider conducting more research on electronic control systems and review the placement and design of accelerator and brake pedals.
In Tokyo on Tuesday, Toyota reported a 39 percent slide in quarterly profit but raised its full-year forecasts for earnings and car sales. It is a mixed picture for the automaker, which is enjoying booming sales in high-growth markets in Asia, Africa and South America, while facing lingering worries about quality lapses in the U.S.

Well was that an ominous sign of things to come, or what?! Remember when Nancy Pelosi's term as House Speaker was up, and as part of congressional protocol, she handed over the gavel to incoming House Speaker, John Boehner? It was business as usual, except for that monstrous gavel John Boehner used for the ceremony: an over-sized, clown-like gavel specially made for him by someone from his hometown in Ohio. Well that "sledgehammer of a gavel" prophetically symbolized the House of Representatives as it is today – an outrageous, dysfunctional house of horrors.
At the time, people were a bit perplexed: Was Pelosi trying to tweak Boehner by presenting him with a gag gift? Or was the presenting of the "clown gavel" a prelude to the more serious pomp and circumstance exchange of power? So the press asked; Boehner explained; and viewers furrowed their brows and reacted, "WTF?!"
Today, congress is in recess and Round 1 of the Budget Deal is over. Thankfully, the debt ceiling was raised; and now it's on to Round 2 when congress reconvenes.
Congress these days is a game with no rules. Anything goes in political warfare, and whoever riles up the masses with the most memorable tagline has the advantage. It is halftime right now, and no party can be declared a winner or loser at this point. Any party claiming "winning," is pulling a Charlie Sheen.
So in the meantime, the media is attempting to be judicious by spreading the debt deal blame equally among the Democrats, Republicans and President Obama, and then taking weekly polls to report on who is currently winning and losing in the blame game. Polls are the perfect tool for creating news, filling time and stirring up ratings.
Also moving ahead, is the selection of the "Super Committee" Debt Panel, amidst the economy's numerous shifts and changes. One example of an unexpected change was the downgrading of the U.S. credit rating, which threw everyone for a loop. For the first time, we – and the entire world – know exactly how much the U.S. is worth, thanks to the rantings of the Tea party Members of Congress. America has opened its books for the entire world to see, and along with the GOP bankruptcy strategy of "Cut, Cap and Balance," we have convinced other nations and the S&P of our weakened status.
If only Congress could operate more like a sport – where cheaters, liars and troublemakers could be called out and expelled.
Unfortunately, Congress has no referees, so regardless of what's being reported, opined and rumored, people need to trust that Democrats and President Obama are fighting as much as possible to protect citizens' rights and entitlements. Or don't – and see where that leads. Oh crap, not again!
Once congress reconvenes, observe what governs republican members – fear or greed. Initially, my speculation was for republicans to come out fighting tooth and nail against Democrats determined to close corporate tax loopholes. Now I'm not so sure. It will boil down to whether Republicans fear their constituents' anger to do the right thing, or their personal greed to follow orders from the plutocrat masters.
Has anyone noticed House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor has wiped that silly grin off his face? A telling sign that things are not so grand in the Grand Old Party.

I am afraid Cantor's got a facial Tattoo.
He went to get his cute freckles removed.

It's difficult when the House has the GOP majority and much of which are made up of tea partyers. Republicans were fine before the party was hijacked by the tea partyers. There is really only so much that President Obama can do.

Ann Arbor, MI — November 4, 2013 — Truven Health Analytics today released its annual study identifying the top U.S. hospitals for inpatient cardiovascular services.
The study, now in its fifteenth year, singled out 50 hospitals that achieved superior clinical outcomes.
"With this year 's 50 Top Cardiovascular award winners, we are seeing the early influence of system efforts to build centers of excellence and develop uniform outcomes across hospitals," said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement and the 100 Top Hospitals program at Truven Health Analytics. "Sixteen hospitals, representing 32 percent of the winners, are owned by four health systems. This is a significant finding that foreshadows increasingly better outcomes as systems focus on the consistency of results for populations served."
The 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals spent roughly $2,000 less per bypass surgery and about $1,000 less per heart attack patient admitted. The winners were also quicker to release their patients: a half day better than their peers for heart attack, heart failure, and angioplasty cases, and a full day sooner for bypass patients.
If all cardiovascular providers in the U.S. performed at the level of this year's winners, more than:
The study evaluated general and applicable specialty, short-term, acute care, non-federal U.S. hospitals treating a broad spectrum of cardiology patients.
Truven Health Analytics researchers analyzed 2011 and 2012 Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) data, 2012 Medicare cost reports and 2013 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare data. They scored hospitals in key performance areas: risk-adjusted mortality, risk-adjusted complications, core measures (a group of measures that assess process of care), percentage of coronary bypass patients with internal mammary artery use, 30-day mortality rates, 30-day readmission rates, severity-adjusted average length of stay, and wage- and severity-adjusted average cost.

Abbott to show stance on reform
PUBLISHED: 06 Sep 2010 13:58:31 | UPDATED: 07 Sep 2010 04:01:31PRINT EDITION: 06 Sep 2010
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is expected to reveal on Monday afternoon his position on independent MPs' proposed changes to the way parliament works.
Opposition frontbencher Christopher Pyne met on Monday morning with independent MP Rob Oakeshott for an hour in Mr Pyne's parliament house office to discuss a raft of reforms.
A spokesman for Mr Pyne described the meeting as "very positive".
"There was discussion on elements of what is being proposed," he said.
"We're ironing it out and coming to a position where everyone is happy."
The three country independents, who are expected to decide this week on whom to support in government, have proposed a number of changes to parliamentary processes.
Their suggestions include an independent speaker, a shorter and sharper question time, more time for private members' business, a greater role for committees in scrutinising laws, and a parliamentary budget office.
Mr Oakeshott said earlier on Monday he was hopeful of getting coalition backing for the reforms.
But he was disappointed that there had been some "11th-hour games", with some coalition figures expressing concerns about a number of elements of the proposals.

Instant analysis: Texas 21, California 10
December, 29, 2011
Ted Miller | ESPN.com
California wanted revenge for 2004 when Texas coach Mack Brown politicked the Longhorns past the Bears and into the Rose Bowl. But all it got was a sloppy performance in a decisive 21-10 loss in the Holiday Bowl.
How the game was won: Both defenses mostly dominated, but Cal lost the turnover battle 5-0. It's impossible to win when you are minus-five in turnovers.
Turning point: Cal took a 10-7 lead on the opening possession of the third quarter, but Texas immediately answered when David Ash connected with Marquise Goodwin for a 47-yard touchdown pass. On two of its next three possessions, the Bears fumbled on the Longhorns' 44-yard line. The second fumble set up another Texas TD, and the Bears offense isn't the sort that can make a comeback from a 21-10 hole. Not against a very good Texas defense.
Stat of the game: 109 to 7. That was Texas' advantage in rushing yards.
Player of the game: The Texas defense. It held Cal to a season-low 195 total yards. The Bears entered the game averaging 419 yards per game.
Unsung hero of the game: Goodwin caught a 47-yard TD pass to give Texas a 14-10 lead, and his 37-yard run set up the Longhorns' third touchdown.
What Texas learned, what Cal learned: Texas learned that Ash has potential, and that a young Longhorns team that has a lot coming back in 2012 could see a bounce-back year for the program after consecutive down seasons. Cal, which also has a lot coming back next fall, learned that losing the turnover battle 5-zip is bad, bad, bad.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Bruins hope to bounce back vs. Leafs
Monday, May 6, 2013
BOSTON — The first-game jitters are gone. Their top players are scoring. And the Toronto Maple Leafs are home for the next two games.
On Saturday night, there were plenty of loud fans sporting blue-and-white Maple Leafs jerseys in Boston. Imagine how many there will be in Toronto.
So did players Carlyle has come to rely on, forwards whose scoring ability is critical to any success the Maple Leafs have.
"Probably the biggest challenge for our hockey club was finding that consistency in our game" in the past month, Boston left wing Milan Lucic said. "And there's no better time to find it than now."
"It was nice to get one," Kessel said, "but we've just got to keep going."

(KMOV) – News 4 talked to police following reports of a man who is accused of peering into the windows of several Lincoln County homes.
Some families in the Elm Tree Subdivision say they are on lockdown and are keeping their kids inside because of concerns about the strange man.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department told News 4, it has received two reports connected to this case. According to Lt. Andy Binder, a resident called the sheriff's department Wednesday morning, reporting that their daughter saw a strange man looking into her bedroom window the night before.
Neighbors say word spread on social media about the incident. One resident told News 4, she is worried about her grandchildren and will be picking them up from the bus stop.
Lt. Binder said so far the claims cannot be substantiated. Investigators do not have a suspect description or any evidence about the report.
Sheriff's deputies plan to saturate the neighborhood Wednesday evening.
Binder said families should not be concerned about their children's safety.

[Description(s) from The National Gazetteer (1868)]"HUTTON, (and Corrie) a parish in the Annandale district of county Dumfries, Scotland, 6 miles N.E. of Lockerby, its post town. Its length is 13 miles, and its average breadth 3 miles. Its boundaries are Moffat, Eskdalemuir, Westerkirk, Tundergarth, Dryfesdale, Applegarth, and Wamphray. The surface is hilly, the greater portion consisting of extensive tracts of pasture. The Dryfe-water has its source in the northern part of the parish. The Corrie-water also rises in the parish on the eastern border, and the Nielk-water passes along the S. and S.E. This parish is in the presbytery of Lochmaben, and synod of Dumfries. The minister has a stipend of £260. The church was erected about 1710, and was enlarged some fifty years later. Hutton is the northern and Corrie the southern portion of the united parish. The two districts were incorporated in 1609. Hutton was formerly a chapelry subordinate to the old church of Sibbaldbye. The patronage and lands of Corrie were held in the 12th century by a vassal of Robert do Bruce. In the reign of James V. it came to the Johnstones, and was lately purchased from that family by Jardine of Lawrick. Among other remains, ancient forts are observed, one on the summit of Carthur Hill, and another on the opposite bank of the Dryfe-water. Galloway cattle and Cheviot sheep are reared among the hills, and trout abounds in the streams."

Digitimes reports that components for the upcoming next generation iPhone 5S will start shipping in May. While we've heard many reports that the iPhone 5S could launch as soon as June or August, this report claims that the device will aim for a Q3 launch.
The new iPhone will not receive a major upgrade and may just be a slightly enhanced version of iPhone 5 (iPhone 5S), the sources said citing their latest specification data. Meanwhile, there are also rumors stating that Apple also plans to release an iPhone model using plastic chassis to push its global smartphone market share, the sources added.
Digitimes source say that the device will be a minor upgrade with no plans of a redesign. The iPhone 5S will mainly focus on a more powerful processor along with an improved camera sporting more megapixels. Manufacturers of the iPhone 5S should be able to ship assembled devices to Apple retailers 1-2 weeks later, source claim.

Children placed in the state's custody due to neglect, abuse or maltreatment are one of America's most vulnerable populations. Seventy-five percent of child victims of maltreatment are under the age of 12. Not only is their suffering a problem, these children are also at increased risk for delinquent behavior later in life. While research has documented the potential long-term consequences of child abuse and neglect, the mental health needs of young children involved in the foster care and juvenile justice systems have been largely overlooked. This study examined the social, emotional and behavioral difficulties of 670 children, age 3–11, who were involved in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Children in this study were living in residential treatment facilities, group homes, foster care homes or were receiving intensive home-based services. To assess the children's mental health needs caregivers completed the parent form of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry 38:581–586, 1997). The findings indicated a high prevalence of mental health problems, with 81 % of the children in the sample having a total difficulties score in the borderline or abnormal range and 90 % of the children having borderline or abnormal scores on at least one of the subscales (conduct, emotional, peer or attention problems). When characteristics such as gender, race and age were considered significant differences were found among boys and girls, Caucasian and minority children, and age groups. The findings highlight the importance of mental health assessment and interventions that are gender and culturally sensitive and developmentally appropriate.

going back to the idea of gloves, there is a way to create an accurate 3d model of your own hand using alginate. this impression can then be used once to make an extremely detailed casting of your hand.
In theory, (I may try this as soon as I have some adhesive) it would be possible to construct the glove on the mock up of the hand which may be easier for size etc than taking measurements from your own hands.
If anyone would like links and tips on how to make a casting, send me a message or email me. If there is sufficient interest I will make a quick tutorial covering it.
We have in the past cast cheerleaders feet to make a last for their boots, the idea is the same. Using alginate is easy and its cast is stunningly accurate but that may well be the down fall.
If you took the cast in alginate, then made a plaster cast to support it your making negative mould in that the outside of the glove will infact have a skin texture (asnd be slightly smaller than the hand), complete with wrinkles, cuts, scratches and scares... all of which would make the surface not too pleasant. The work to make the negative into a positive mould is massive, a plaster cast would need to be made again in relief, then sanded, prepped with a mould release and finally a mould can be made!
Hmm... I had considered having to sand down the surface of the casting but had not thought of many of the tiny pits and flaws in the surface resulting from the detail.
One other thing that also occured to me.... it might be possible that the plaster would react in some way to the rubber. Perhaps this is every bit less an ideal solution - ah well......
Still, If you could get one casting that was exactly as you needed it it would be quite hard wearing but perhaps the cons out way the pros on this one. Nice to know that someone has actually tried it though
I've managed to get self hand castings that are extremely details with very few flaws using a very fine and hard plaster. Except on the occasion where I do work in the garden, my hands have very few marks, so maybe I can get away with it
Has anyone thought of using moulding latex to get a pattern? I bought some once in the hope that it might work as a latex cement. Forlorn hope! The product contains a release agent that stops it from sticking (permanently) to anything. It's a bit sticky when first applied but when dry, it peels off like a rubber glove.
Last edited by Electrojim; 2006-Dec-12 at 20:53.
Why not get a pair of latex examination gloves, say in one or two sizes to small and put them on to make you mould with the alginate.
That way the suface would be smooth, no tiny imperffetions that have to be sanded out, etc. Obviously we dont want the cast to be "extremely detailed".
At least it's worth a try.
Probably would still be necessary to do a bit of work on the joins at the fingers in the casting but it sounds like it might well work - who would have thought that rubber gloves would the the solution to making rubber gloves?
I will have to try this out at the weekend now! I will post an image of the finished casting if it turns out well
Hi All.
I use pattern maker software for making , adapting and designing patterns for latex garments.
I've first started with a pair of stockings, i offered them up for science : I've cut them in half, measured the whole thing up and then redrawed it in the program.
I've added personal measurements for better fitting, and now i am able to make stockings in small, medium, large etc..
I've done the same with an old mini skirt, jeans, t-shirt...
This way it is possible to make a whole warderobe..
For new designs (neck- mouth corset for ex.) i've made little moulds in paper ( fitting those on the face, recutting etc), then draw those in the program.
Easy to adapt the drawings to the first made real proto, and after som hours i had a working pattern of a tight fitting neck-mouth corset .
I, too, use the patternmaker software for drafting patterns and creating items. I'm still fairly new to the software (patternmaking in general really) but so far the macros available make customizing a breeze. The only thing to remember is anything built in is designed for fabric with butt seams, not latex with lap seams.
Perhaps if there are enough people in the group who use and are fluent with this program, this may be the method of choice for sharing? Just a thought...
Hi fellow crafters!
I am currently finishing a military short sleeved jacket for my husband and he is dying to have some matching trousers.
Thing is I have no clue about how to make trousers. They would have to be rather cut like usual tailored trousers, not skin tight.
I was thinking about making at first some kind of latex shorts to which i would later on attach some "legs". So it'd be easier to try to find the good fitting without struggling with loads of fabric at first.
What do you think of this idea? By any chance, would any of you have some shorts pattern you'd be willing to give me? I can share my patterns as well and I would put some HOW TO MAKE garments with my techniques if I had some schemes on my comp instead of big piles of patterns drawn on old newspaper.
Then, do you think I could make some proper trousers without using any zipper? I have mastered the way of including a zipper but I fear it would complicate the pattern a lot. Would some zipper-free trousers fit and hold properly?
Thanks for your advice!

Parry hails `formidable' Goodison
Tranmere boss Les Parry has paid tribute to Ian Goodison after he committed his future to the club.Goodison last week signed a one-year extension to his contract, keeping him at Prenton Park until the end of the 2011/12 season.The Jamaica international joined Tranmere in February 2004 and has since made more than 290 appearances for the club.Parry told Tranmere Player: "The best ones to big him up would be the strikers in our division because I'm sure none of them like playing against him."He's one of the most formidable centre halves in our division. He's probably not the biggest, he's probably not the heaviest, he's not the quickest, he probably isn't the best ball player but he is probably the best defender."He's probably the best centre half we've had since I've been here. When he first came into the side he took a bit of settling down but since then he's one of the best."

Dear Parents,
We are enjoying this wonderful weather, the classroom is often empty and everyone outside engrossed in an extraordinary range of activities.
The ABC's are still enjoying the company of Paul (our student teacher ). He began our first topic this term about crystals with an experiment with salt and water. This triggered an amazing amount of enthusiasm so we have set up and experiment to grow stalactites and stalagmites. Nicola brought in some wonderful crystals and each child has investigated a crystal and we now have an experiment table and a crystal display table. This afternoon Robyn (Heidi's mum) is going to come in and share her knowledge on crystals.
On a less interesting note: Nits are back. Please Check and exterminate!
The XYZ's have been exploring percussion in music and counting money for maths. They are also creating power points inspired by a project completed by Matthew when he was away. The children are interesting in learning yoga for their PE this term. Is anyone keen to help?
The ABC's are up to 'O' and everyone has logged on to the computer to experiment with reading books on line. If you are interested at doing this at home come and get their personal password and user name. I allocate a number of books on their level. When these are complete come to me and I can allocate some more.
On Monday I had three meetings: staff meeting, education committee meeting and council! (the joy of democracy.) The education meeting was very productive and we plan to have a forum on the 28th of May with the AGM. The aim is to share soup and bread and information, so that we can make an informed decision about more language and music in the school. It would be great if you could have a family discussion about these ideas so everyone can have input into the decision making process. Thank you to Alison who did a wonderful job and who put in so much time and energy to plan the meeting, get reps for each class, prepare the agenda and run the meeting.
Blake is planning to go bush walking on Fridays so please send shoes and hats on Fridays.
Take care
Fran, Blake and Nicola.
