You have to laugh, I need to have a wisdom tooth removed so please hope for a speedy referral, a very quick and painless procedure, and a swift recovery with no nasty holes in my mouth which might be a bit hurty!!I must be due a run of good luck, at some point, right?!
Hi B&T
Nope - I'm not ready at all - I'm about as far away from ready as anyone could possibly be...minor detail though
Colin.....mmmmmmmm! He might be the object of my affections this year too! Yum.
Darcey, yah, was doing my head in, yah? Which is a shame because she was being useful! Yah? Aarghhhh!
Victoria is waaaaay too highly strung for my liking, can't be doing with it all. I'd rather share a bottle of plonk and a pizza with Lisa Riley any day!
Oh oh oh oh oh I'm SOOOO excited
My thoughts:
Piiiiip!!!! Well done - twice in a row is amazing! And you get to run with me after all then . Bring on the madness Part 2!
Incidentally I have just completely surprised myself by having a panic about a hotel for the Saturday night, did a quick check online to see if the one I booked last year is available (no! It's all booked up already! aargh!) and then having a vague flash of a memory of doing something...and lo! There is a booking confirmation email in my Inbox - I booked it when I deferred in April! Who knew!!
USBeeeeeeeee!! Hello I have alos been AWOL, life has been fairly crap since my father in law died to be honest, I'm hoping to trun a new page and get bac to where I was asap. When I've lost 3 stone...anyway....
I went for a run/walk this morning regardless, the cold seems to be a head thing and not in my chest, so it wasnt too bad. I'm following a really simple programme for a bit to get me back into it, I'm still doing run 1 minute, walk 2! It was depressingly hard work the first week but it seems to be coming back okay, wasn't too bad this morning even with the cold. I've got til Christmas to get myself ready to start training in the New Year again! Eeep!
I forgot my number but it's not a catchy short one this year, it's about 6 digits long!
Thanks DL! I'm going to need them - I've come down with a pre-marathon cold already
Ha ha ha ha!! Brilliant - I need the distraction
Yes I deferred, so I got my magazine yesterday! Eeek!
If I'm honest I've had a really rubbish summer. We have had whooping cough (yeah, really, we are BBC News statistics!!), and I'm SO out of shape and fat . But for the past couple of weeks I have been run/walking (starting all over again, right from the start) and I've lost 10lbs. I hope to spend between now and the end of the year getting my fitness back and losing some lard. I'm swimming regularly, I've cut out all junk food, and I'm on it.
I'm hoping everyone will still be around when I need some moral support again! xx

Or, as we called them at my house, Never-Ending Croissants. If instant gratification is your thing, then croissants are not for you. These were not difficult to make, but they took a loooooong time. Luckily, I am a patient woman. (Stop laughing, Kevin!)
The key to this recipe is planning and understanding that you can take a break at almost any time. Just stash the dough in freezer and come back to it later. The recipe can be divided into three phases: (1)mixing the dough, (2)incorporating the butter into the dough, and (3)shaping/proofing/baking the individual croissants. You can find the text of the recipe here. Thank you to Amanda at Girl + Food = Love. I encourage you to watch the video with Julia and Esther McManus. In her no-nonsense French way, Ms. McManus makes it clear that although this isn't easy, it is worth doing. Also, it takes practice to make the perfect pastry, so cut yourself some slack.
1. Mixing the dough was the easy part: dump all of the ingredients in a KA bowl and mix. (BTW, I substituted 1.5 Tablespoons of instant yeast for the fresh yeast. I also microwaved the milk just to take the chill off of it.) I used most of the reserved milk. My kitchen is very dry in the winter. Since my bowl was dirty anyway, I mixed the butter and the flour, too. Both the dough and the butter were wrapped in plastic and stashed in the fridge.
2. The next step required a rolling pin, flour and lots of patience. I also used my (ridiculously heavy) marble pastry slab. I envy those of you with shiny granite countertops. You roll out the dough, put the butter slab in it, and fold the dough over top. You roll that out and then make three turns. You have to refrigerate the dough between each turn, both because the dough must stay cold AND because it needs to relax. After too much rolling, the dough just snaps back. Again, I encourage you to watch the video. I thought the directions in the book were okay, but the video is so much better. After the third "wallet" fold, you wrap it up and refrigerate it again.
3. Finally, it's baking day! But wait, after you roll, cut, fill, shape and brush your croissants; then you have to wait for them to rise for three hours! So much for a morning treat, unless I want to get up at 5:00am on a Sunday morning. (Just for the record, no, I do not.) So we had them for dessert after lunch.
But finally, the payoff! They are the best croissants I've ever made, bar none. Don't be afraid to really brown these. The ones that I initially thought were too dark tasted much better than the blonder almond-filled ones. I only made half the batch. The other half of the finished dough is waiting for me in the freezer. I will definitely have to try the chocolate version. I might even order the little semisweet batons. King Arthur's website sells them. Aren't they cute? Ms. McManus put two batons in each pain au chocolat. But maybe three would work... Or four.
Look at those layers! According to what I've read, the steam from the water in the butter raises these things as much as the yeast. I guess all of that rolling and folding was worth it. What did you guys think? Did you have croissant success?

BREAKING BELTWAY BLOG — Udall: Senate Intel committee to see Osama bin Laden photos
WASHINGTON — The Central Intelligence Agency agreed Tuesday to allow members of the Senate Intelligence Committee to see photos of a dead Osama bin Laden to further confirm the Al Qaeda leader's death, Sen. Mark Udall told the Denver Post this afternoon.
Udall, a member of the Intelligence Committee, said he had been urging the White House to release the photos to members of his committee to "provide more credibility," to what happened.
"I think it just adds to the weight of the mission and adds to the weight of the evidence," Udall said Tuesday. "We can add heft to the report."

Manitoba Fishing Report – Lake Winnipeg and Giant Walleyes
Congratulations go out to Shane Osborne-Richards who landed this mammoth walleye the other day on Lake Winnipeg. Shane caught her jigging a Chubby Darter four feet off the bottom. To his credit, Shane kept the fish submerged in the water to prevent any damage in the frigid -27 C temperature. Then he held her up for a quick photo before releasing the biggest walleye of his life. As Shane said, "I got her back in the hole and away she went no worse for wear. I'll never forget that moment as she slipped back down the hole. It was definitely the fish I have dreamed of catching my whole life."
You can sum up the fishing conditions in Manitoba this week in two sets of two words – Lake Winnipeg and Giant Walleyes.
Indeed, if your New Years resolution includes catching a bunch of walleyes and/or the biggest walleye of your life, the giant inland sea just a cast north of the city of Winnipeg is the place to accomplish your goal. It is a lush, productive, walleye factory. The lushest and most productive winter walleye lake on earth.
(Roger Stearns is one of the hottest sticks on Lake Winnipeg, where he makes icing big trophy walleyes seem so easy.)
As a matter of fact, I don't believe I've spent a day ice fishing on Lake Winnipeg – it is the tenth largest lake in the world – when at least one member of our small three or four man party didn't land at least one double digit walleye. Many days we've iced multiple trophy size fish.
That is why I've always described Lake Winnipeg as offering fly-in quality walleye fishing without the time, effort, expensive or hassle of flying in. Most days you can drive your truck, snowmachine or ATV right out to your fishing spot. And the action the last week or two has been nothing short of superb.
How good, you ask?
My buddy Roger Stearns caught 30 walleyes the other afternoon fishing with small Live Target lipless crankbaits and Thumper Jigs concentrating on areas situated in 9 to 14 feet of water. Roger reports that the water clarity is improving daily and that the big fish are biting better when the sun is shining.
Lee Nolden's a friend of Rogers and quite possibly the most famous ice fishing guide on the big lake. In fact, I am willing to bet that legendary Lee has guided more winter walleye anglers to the biggest fish of their lives than any other guide in Canada. If you'd like to get in on the action you can phone Lee at (204) 738-2342, e-mail him at email@example.com or reach him via his Facebook page facebook.com/lakewinnipegicefishing.
Like Roger, Lee started out the week experiencing a strong morning bite fishing in 9 to 12 of water and his guests landed a goodly number of 30-inch / ten pound plus walleyes fishing with Live Target lures.
(Here is a guarantee you can take to the bank. You will never see Roger Stearns ice fishing on Lake Winnipeg without at least one rod rigged with his pet Live Target lipless crankbait.)
By the way, while Lee and Roger report excellent (16 to 24 inch) ice conditions they both point out that some "frazzle spots" have started showing up, so pay attention if you're driving around on the lake. Also, keep an eye out for the ice ridges and cracks that are forming when there are strong north winds.
Good buddy and fellow LUND Pro Staffer, Todd Langley, has also been catching the heck out of big walleyes during the last week. Todd runs City Cats Guide Service (204) 955-2744 and his motto is Not Your Average Guiding Service!
Let me tell you, like Lee and Roger, Todd works his butt off, putting his guests on big walleyes, like the trophies he caught at Matlock this week. Interestingly, Todd was fishing considerably shallower water than Roger and Lee, catching both numbers and trophy size fish only ten feet down.
Todd confirmed that there is not much snow on the big lake right now so getting around in a vehicle is easy. The two feet of ice covering the lake is also black and strong, and not dirty as is often the case on Lake Winnipeg.
So, boys and girls, what are the magical words this week for Manitoba? You got it – Lake Winnipeg and Trophy Walleyes. Talk about an unbeatable combination.

Our journey was in pursuit of any body of water that might be open. It wasn't easy as the winter cold and longevity persisted longer than normal, forcing fish, anglers, and lake life to wait in dormancy for warmer weather.

What to look for when buying a Hot Tub or Spa Cover.
Feb 26When it is time to replace your hot tub covers you can ensure it's the right one for you by making sure your cover has these three basic components.
The first thing you want to make sure the spa cover has is at least a 1.5lb foam core. The foam is what provides the insulation as well as the strength on the cover. Most manufacturers use a 1lb inferior foam that doesn't insulate well or provide structural strength to the cover. You also want to make sure the foam is tapered (ex: 5″ down to 3″) so that water can easily run of the spa cover. Flat foam will just allow the water to stay on the cover, making it heavy and if left it can eventually break the cover.
A 4-2″ standard cover is great for moderate climates where there isn't a lot of heavy snow on the cover, the 5-3″ premium cover is a great cover to handle snow and allow water to run off. That is one of the most popular covers on the market. The 6-4″ premium plus cover would handle high snow fall areas as well as insulate the spa more efficiently.
The second thing is the vinyl covering, a good vinyl should be at least 25oz. The vinyl should be treated with UV protectors and mildew inhibitors. Even the threading should be UV protected. This helps prolong the life of the vinyl against the elements such as snow, sun, rain and ice. The underside of the vinyl should have either a drain hole or mesh so that the cover can breathe and allow any built up moisture to escape.
The third thing you want to watch for this the vapor barrier. That is the plastic protecting your inserts. You want to make sure this is heat sealed. This will keep the water from getting into your cover and making it heavy. A lot of manufactures just tape the inserts into the plastic so water can get into them. This is because the chemicals can break the tape down and allow the water into the foam so making sure they are heat sealed is recommended to prolong the life of the cover.
Some other things you may want to keep in mind are the warranty and safety of the spa cover. Most companies offer a 1-3 year warranty.
Make sure your cover meets industry standards. This means your cover is labeled as a safety cover and will have reinforced straps and locking hardware keys.
Purchasing a spa cover shouldn't be complicated, remember if you have any questions just ask the company. The response from them will not only provide you with your answer to your question, but it will show you their customer service.

The 2 FBI Agents Who Arrested Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Did Not Die Mysteriously
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On May 27, 2013 @ 10:37 am In The Point | 21 Comments
This story is going around the usual circles, but there are a few things wrong with it. First of all Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was actually arrested by an MBTA SWAT Team.
The FBI tried to negotiate his surrender and he was eventually taken into federal custody. Considering how many people were involved in the actual arrest and how many agencies got involved, we're talking about a lot of personnel that were in some way around.
Special Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw were members of a hostage rescue team. I'm having trouble finding any legitimate news sites, not counting the usual Pravda-Ron Paul-Infowars conspiracy network sites, that even say that they specifically were in the area.
The Hostage Rescue Team was there and tossed in a stun grenade that forced his surrender, but the HRT consists of 90 operators. It's unclear if Lorek and Shaw were the ones who were there and their obituaries fail to mention any such thing. Or that HRT had any further contact with him afterward.
Their deaths are not particularly mysterious. It's dangerous work and the training is even more dangerous.
Lorek and another special agent, Stephen Shaw, were fast-roping from the aircraft onto a ship when the helicopter "encountered difficulties," according to information released by the FBI. "The agents tragically fell a significant distance and suffered fatal injuries."
Tran attended the memorial. Afterward he recalled a conversation when Lorek described his rehabilitation for eight broken ribs and a punctured lung he suffered during a training accident.
"It was just incredible to understand the work he did," said Tran, of Chicago. "They put their lives on the line for us."
Sure it could all be a giant cover up, but there were more than two people on the scene and more than two people involved in the arrest. Try hundreds.

Congratulations to Kurohige! Here is his introduction written by Kurohige whom I had the pleasure of interviewing.
Kurohige is currently 18 years old, and he just finished high school. He has been a member of Anime Vice since early 2009 with his first account: Tradog. Kurohige originally came here looking for a good debating site that involves anime as he previously debated on Youtube. However, Kurohige felt Youtube was too unorganized and cluttered to make any real progress with debates so he made an account here after reading some of the threads. The first battle thread that he ever made was Goku vs Superman from 5 years ago; back then, he knew his spelling, debating, and research ability was terrible. However, due to the help of great posters like Newdeath, Sonata, Nerx, Hellos, and Hitsusatsu11, he became a better debater. During his early days of Anime Vice, Kurohige spent a surprising amount of time in the Role Play section of the forums (see RPG forum) and RPed for a good 2-3 year with his first created character: Kurohige (see his first Bio) years before slowly declining from RPGs and moving more into the battle forums. As of late, he has met plenty of awesome people like SpeedForceSpider, Takashichea, and Dream who are just some of the many people who make this community great. Unfortunately, due to school and work, he didn't had enough time to do half the stuff or originally wanted to do on this site. His username came from his favorite villain from the favorite series at the time: Blackbeard from One Piece, known as Kurohige in Japanese.
Here are some of Kurohige's lists. Check out what characters he find the most epic of all time! See what Bleach Captains he ranked from the strongest to the weakest. In contrast to 's gun enthusiast hobbies, Kurohige is an avid sword collector. Which do you think is better, swords or guns?! Inspired by Bleach, he made a blog on the meaning of flowers. Check out what flower you could be representing. Finally, he put together an argument on Calcs and why they work.
His top 10 favorite manga/anime characters:
- Usagi (Sailor Moon)
- Kazuma Kuwabara (Yu yu Hakusho)
- Shiroishi Hajime (Ichi The Killer)
- Blackbeard (One Piece)
- Sajin Komamura (Bleach)
- Might Guy (Naruto)
- Okuyasu Nijimura (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure)
- Koro-sensei (Assassination Classroom)
- Hanamichi Sakuragi (Slam Dunk)
- Keitaro Urashima (Love Hina)
His Battle Theme is!
His favorite battle threads were originally crossover battles as back around 2010 they were great, creative and interesting. However, now they have been done to death and there are not a lot of ideas for them, that or really obscure characters are used that nobody knows about so the thread dies. So as of now, he strongly favor in-verse battles as they are much easier, spark interesting discussion about not only the battle but the story as well, and the fight may be proven in the manga later on. He felt in-verse fights are not done nearly as much despite the fact that they make the most discussion.
Proudest Achievements
His proudest achievements so far are: doing my first ever review, Bleach: The Diamonddust Rebellion, on this site and receiving mostly positive feedback and getting up to over 4,000 wiki points on the pages belonging to: Hello Kitty, Blackbeard, Garouden, and Yugo as well as a few others. He plans on getting back into reviewing and wiki editing once I get more time. However, currently his proudest achievement on this site is winning Best Battle user of the month.

Eliades Ochoa presides this afternoon, sitting on the small platform with his group Cuarteto Patria. "I don't trust women any more, I don't trust women," Ochoa wails in a hollow tenor while strumming his guitar, and the old men in the audience absently sing along, nodding.
A formidable figure with a raspy drawl, Ochoa wears his customary pointy patent-leather shoes and cowboy hat. A squarish tuft of gray bristles sprouts from under his lip. He looks like he could be found spitting tobacco juice in the stands at a Texas rodeo rather than playing ballads on a Cuban guitar. But Ochoa is one of the most celebrated performers in Santiago, where the distinctive sound of son -- that heady mix of African and Spanish rhythms forming the base of most Cuban music (and salsa) -- was born a century ago. The eastern port city is still a breeding ground for the country's musicians. Over the past three decades, the 50-year-old Ochoa has spent more time at the Casa de la Trova than at home. When he's not on-stage, he often sits at one of the tables in the back of the club with a glass of rum.
So when Ry Cooder was searching last year for "some of the greatest musicians in Cuba" to join him on a recording of classic Cuban music, Ochoa was not hard to find. Cooder had him flown to Havana, where several generations of outstanding Cuban players convened in the studio of Egrem, the state-run recording company. They included legendary singers Compay Segundo and Ibrahim Ferrer -- also from Santiago -- septuagenarian pianist Ruben Gonzalez, and bass player Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez, son of Orestes Lopez and nephew of renowned bassist Israel Lopez, "Cachao."
The resulting album, Buena Vista Social Club, is one of three recorded in Cuba released in this country by Nonesuch (see sidebar for review). Ochoa plays his homemade hybrid of a standard six-string guitar and Cuban tres on five of the fourteen tracks. He sings lead vocals on "El Carretero," a twangy Cuban country lament; "El Cuarto de Tula," a rousing, improvisational son; and Segundo's "Chan Chan," a love song with a crying trumpet solo and slow dance rhythm. These songs are business as usual for Ochoa, who has spent a lifetime playing son in its purest form.
"The son is very simple," Ochoa explains. "It's a tres, some bongos, a pair of claves, some maracas. The music shouldn't be written down, and the musicians playing it don't have to know each other. We just get together and I grab a tres, another guy grabs the bongos, another the maracas, and there's the son. That's all you need."
Cooder, who has a musicologist's interest in world rhythms and has previously worked with artists from India and Africa, wisely stuck with that time-honored method. Ochoa says that although the American guitarist plays on most of the tracks, he let the Cubans take the lead, play what they wanted, and improvise. To Cooder's credit, the CDs are beautifully produced, with a lushness rarely found on recordings from Cuba.
Ochoa has heard through the grapevine that Buena Vista is selling well, allowing him more exposure than two records by his regular band Cuarteto Patria that were issued in the past few years in the United States by the independent label Corason. He says it doesn't bother him if he and the other Cuban musicians get noticed only by association with a big American name.
"If the record sells well because of Ry Cooder, that's okay," Ochoa says. "There's a saying that goes, 'One hand washes the other and both hands wash the face.'" Meaning that the record will keep people listening to the Cuban classics, Ochoa's main goal.
"I like a lot of different music, but what I give to the public is traditional Cuban music," says Ochoa. "While I can still move my fingers on the fretboard of my guitar I won't play anything else."
Many of the songs Ochoa now performs he first heard on his father's transistor radio, numbers recorded in the 1950s by Beny More or El Trio Matamoros. Ochoa's family were poor country people who lived in a mountain village outside Santiago. Both his father and his mother played tres, although not professionally, and Ochoa learned young. "The guitar and I were the same size then," he says.

Let's keep the Rolex love flowing today. What we have for you is a Rolex Explorer 1016 (most sought after model) coming to us from the year 1960. You all know the story behind the Explorer (if you don't, click here) so we'll spare you that, but we will have to stress something else.
This Explorer, popular and desirable in its own right, comes with every piece of documentation and every accessory you could ask for. So what exactly does that mean? It means this watch comes with:
- Original Box
- Original Timing Certificate (Chronometer)
- Original Paperwork
- Complete Rolex Service History
The face is original and gilt, as are the hands. However, it looks like the case might not be original judging by how polished it is. The strap is black crocodile with a steel Rolex pin-buckle. It is a mid-sized 36mm, which is the standard size for the 1016's.
We love the Explorer, in fact, it is easily the most talked about watch on Hodinkee. So, as you can imagine, we would love to get our hands on a model like this. It is selling for roughly $13,000, which may be on the high side, even with all the original accessories. We are a little thrown off by that smooth polished bezel, because polishing actually reduces the value of watches like this.
Either way, it's a beautiful watch and the Explorer continues to be a Hodinkee favorite. Click here for the details of this 1960 Rolex Explorer 1016 with all original documentation.

DOUBLE DUTY: Model Erin Wasson will be really styling next week. The Texas-born 25-year-old is the stylist for Alexander Wang's Sept. 6 show, but that doesn't mean she will be missing out on show coverage. Wang has lined up an exclusive so that Wasson's behind-the-scenes moves will be well-documented. But she's not the only catwalker moonlighting. The night before Alek Wek will read from her memoir "Alek: From the Streets of the Sudan to the Runways of Milan and New York" at Barnes & Noble's Sixth Avenue store. Wek will also be on hand Tuesday morning at the Empire State Building for the lighting ceremony signaling Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Sasha Pivovarova, Tracy Reese and Fern Mallis will also help pull the switch, illuminating the landmark in orange, purple and red.
CHILD'S PLAY: Lela Rose has teamed up with Quinny Buzz to create a limited edition Thumbprint Collection stroller and Dreami bassinet, which will hit specialty stores Saturday Rose's children Grey and Rosey helped out with the designs — their thumbprints were used for a print that adorns the $1,000 stroller and the $400 bassinet.

Southern Jewel-flower [Streptanthus campestris Wats.]
Listing CNPS List 1B R-E-D Code 2-1-2
Stat/Fed. Status -- None BRASSICACEAE May-Jul.
Global Rank G2 State Rank S2?
Distribution: San Diego County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County; Baja California, Mexico
Habitat: This tall annual is found in Juniper Woodland or high desert transitional chaparral. Near Boulevard this species was found within large boulder fields in the partial shade of Western Junipers, while near Miller Valley it was noted in a more open Chamise Chaparral with Tollhouse rocky coarse sandy loam.
Known Sites: Southern Jewel-flower is lightly distributed in chaparral west of Live Oak Springs and east of Miller Valley; as well as in rocks at Boulevard. It is reported from Oriflamme Canyon and Julian. Herbarium specimens are from Hauser Canyon Road near Campo Road, in the In-Koh-Pah Mountains, near Sunrise Highway, in Noble Canyon, and near Fred Canyon Road and Morris Ranch Road. Several plants were observed in the chaparral near Santa Rosa Peak Road in Riverside County. Sanders reports this plant from Whale Peak in San Diego County, and at Pinyon Flats in the San Jacinto Mountains. Munz notes it in the San Bernardino Mountains and Little San Bernardino Mountains.
Twenty specimens from Baja California are found at the San Diego Natural History Museum's herbarium; south to 28 43 minutes North where collected by Moran (SD 60705) on the north slope of Cerro de la Mina de San Juan.
Status: Given the limited development within its high desert range, Southern Jewel-flower is considered stable in the Peninsular Range. More field collection data is needed to more accurately determine the relative rarity of this species. Provisionally, all U.S. populations are recommended for protection.

Hot Toys goes holy old school, Batman!
Nostalgia alert. Hot Toys has dialed back time to bring to life the 1966 Adam West Batman and Burt Ward Robin.
Long before Christian Bale wore the cape and cowl, Adam West was a far different Batman. With his pale gray bodysuit and lady-killer ways, he defined a campy, silly, and incredibly fun version of the character we know today as the Dark Knight. Can you imagine Christopher Nolan's Batman dancing the Batusi?
Hong Kong-based toy designer Hot Toys has already tackled the recent Nolan films; now, it's announced a blast from the past with a 1/6 scale model of the 1966 Adam West Batman and Burt Ward Robin.
"The collectible figure is newly developed and highly detailed...specially crafted based on the image of Adam West as the iconic character Batman, featuring a screen-accurate masked head sculpt, specially made costume with Batman logo, weapons, and accessories," Hot Toys said on Facebook.
The Batman figure features an interchangeable lower face and 13 different hands that can either pose in iconic scenes or hold his accessories: the classic shark repellent, Batarang, communicator, and oversize bomb. Batman stands at around 12 inches tall and Robin at around 11 inches, and both toys feature 30 points of articulation.
A scale model Batmobile is coming soon.
Stay tuned to the Hot Toys Web site for more information. Meanwhile, we're just going to leave this here...

WILMINGTON -- A growing gang presence in Wilmington has community leaders asking parents to be aware of what their children are doing. Wednesday night hundreds of people of all ages came out to a forum to learn about gangs and how to fight them.
Ronald Davis of Wilmington attended to better understand the issue. He said, "This is something new to me and I'm interested in what's going on and the magnitude that it's happening in the city."
Regina Randolph of Wilmington said, "I'm real concerned about our community and the gangs. I have a niece that's at that age now that's in the area they're recruiting a lot of them from."
Members of Union Baptist Church, the Wilmington Police Department, and the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office called for a change that starts at home.
Wilmington Police Chief Ralph Evangelous encouraged parents' involvement. He said, "They've got to get involved in their kids' lives very early on and be a real positive role model for them."
Chief Evangelous referred to youth violence as a sickness. "We cannot arrest ourselves out of this problem in this country, can't do it. It takes a community effort," he said.
People learned which colors, symbols, tattoos, and other signs symbolize gang activity. They also saw pictures of gang graffiti from nearby neighborhoods. It was useful information for parents and kids.
Alexis McNeil of Leland came out with her mother and sister. She said, "If any of my friends could be a negative influence on me, I'm hoping to learn what I can look for, like signs that may show that they are in a gang."
By learning signs here, community members are one step closer to tackling Wilmington's gang problem.

On the heels of their outing John Edwards' affair, the National Enquirer is sticking by claims that Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin cheated on her husband Todd with his former business partner.
Now, Andrew Sullivan over at The Atlantic is claiming the rumored beau's legal team has filed an emergency order to have his divorce records sealed.
The rumored affair was part of a more intensive cover story which claimed, among other things, that Palin initially tried to cover up daughter Bristol's pregnancy.

Palin on what it would take to invade Russia: Charlie Gibson interviewing Palin.
When Gibson said if under the NATO treaty, the United States would have to go to war if Russia again invaded Georgia, Palin responded: "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help.
"And we've got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable," she told Gibson.

I went out after work today with my work mates and as people left we all moved together. Had to sit with a man whom I know is not my ideological style when he brought up the election. He asked me about my choice for president, and was shocked that I was for Obama. I told him I had agreed to disagree with him. My point to him was simple, even though he tried to use logic etc. I do not want another republican appointment to the supreme court. Nor do I want to see a reversal of rove v wade. That simple.

Too bad you all thought it was silly of me to discuss politics at a bar, however, I did not bring it up!!!!!
So allow me clarify some of it.
I am voting for Obama because: I do not want another republican appointment on the Supreme Court. As a nation we do not need republican faith based values for our country.

this man lilwayne is setting a poor example for our kids. his pants are fallin off his ass. oh yeah he is cool. no wonder BCSD is imposing a dress code. What is it with stars and making our kids think they need to have pants hangin off their asses and girls need to be showing off their boobs? Parents are at fault here. Not the teachers not the schools the PARENTS need to be held responsible for the dress code. And the music industry too. SILENCE is golden

I respect Eve Ensler, and this scares the (expletive deleted by BT) out of me.
To those of you on the fence, I hope this helps convince you. To those of you who have friends on the fence, please forward along. 52 days left and the polls are terrifyingly closer.

Rove said McCain's ads have crossed the line. If Rove said it then there is something wrong with the way McCain's ads are headed. Rove called for both to more adult about them. Obama called them wrong. I call McCain disperate to have to resort to lies now. Go to Fox News to read it all.

I normally would not put any credence in Newt but today on NPR Newt was on the button with this huge bail out. Do not pay full value, fact is Govt will pay better than worth. Yes Newt! Do not let any CEO walk with his regular pay as they ran the companies into the ground. Goldman Sacks had THREE on top each making 73 million a year! I totally agree with Newt, we need to keep the companies solvent but not riding high especially the fat cats who screwed it up.

Silver Linings Playbook
The news is so depressing. We have, at best, a heavy-handed government; at worst the Mafia is running the country. The health care system is only going to get worse (avoid asking me about the care one of my elderly relatives is receiving on the Left Coast… avoid it if you want a life outside of listening to my rant). And it seems that North Korea is actually threatening the United States. The economy stinks. We're buried in snow. Could all this really be happening?
To cheer you up, might I suggest going with your sweetie to see Silver Linings Playbook? Quite entertaining.
– Aggie
