Fingerprinting Now a Requirement to Cross Border
POSTED: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 10:49am
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:32am
The Department of Homeland Security is heightening security by requiring most non-U.S. Citizens to provide digital fingerprints along with a picture ID upon arriving in the country. This is to make it virtually impossible for anyone to attempt to use a biometrically linked travel document like a permanent resident card if it's stolen or duplicated.
"I think it's our responsibility to protect our border. It's national security. There's nothing more important to me than that."
Now there are some exceptions to the new rule. Non-U.S. Citizens under the age of 14 and over the age of 79 are exempt from the requirement. Also, those entering at a land border port of entry will be processed differently. People will need to provide fingerprints only if they are referred to a secondary inspection.

Robertson Blames Haitian Earthquake On "Pact With The Devil"
Via Daily Kos, we find Pat Robertson discussing the tragedy in Haiti, saying that the nation has been cursed ever since it "swore a pact to the Devil":
And you know Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French, uh you know Napoleon the third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the Devil. They said we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True Story. And so the Devil said "OK, it's a deal." And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor. That island is Hispaniola is one island. It's cut down the middle. On one side is Haiti, on the other side is the Dominican republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc.. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. Uh, they need to have, and we need to pray for them, a great turning to God and out of this tragedy. I'm optimistic something good may come.

Audio Samples
Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
"The Kopelman recording, which comes from a Wigmore Hall concert in January 2006, is superb in every way. The players, all graduates in the 1970s from the Moscow Conservatory, pursued separate careers until the founding of quartet in 2002. (The first violinist Mikhail Kopelman had been first violinist with the Borodin Quartet for some 20 years; Boris Kuschmir and Igor Sulyga were founding members of the Moscow Quartet, and Mikhail Milman was principal cellist with the Moscow Virtuosi.) The mechanics of intonation and ensemble are top-notch in this new group, and their sound is rich and warm. All the tempos in Death and the Maiden are slower than the Takacs, the whole piece lasting 3-1/2 minutes longer. The extra minutes allow the Kopelman time for intimacy and pathos, as well as fire and despair. This is a complete emotional journey, one to convince you (if such is needed) of the incredible depth and maturity of the 27-year-old composer. Recordings of the Tchaikovsky quartets have long been dominated by the Borodin Quartet, which made three, the last two with Kopelman. The Slavic intensity and extroverted emotion come naturally to these musicians, and the lovely melodic solos give ample opportunity for everyone to shine with gorgeous, fervent tone. The scherzo and finale are alert and fiery, while the slow movement captures the composer's dark sentiments with just the right level of sensitivity. This is, indeed, beautiful playing, warm and vivid, but not over-projected. I can't imagine anything better than this!"

Fifth seed Grigor Dimitrov made an impressive start to his campaign at the ATP Brisbane International with a straight sets victory over Holland's Robin Haase.
The Bulgarian - who reached last year's final before losing to Andy Murray - proved far too strong for his Dutch opponent, emerging a comfortable 6-2 6-3 victor.
Meanwhile, there was a landmark moment for home hope Marinko Matosevic as he recorded his first-ever ATP win on home soil.
The 28-year-old Australian was made to work for his success, but eventually outlasted France's Julien Benneteau to complete a gruelling 5-7 6-4 7-6 (7/4) triumph.
Finland's Jarkko Nieminen set up a second round clash with top seed Roger Federer after beating Matosevic's compatriot James Duckworth 6-2 6-3.
Seventh seed Dmitry Tursunov made an early exit as he was upset by Sam Querrey, the big-serving American claiming a 7-5 6-4 win.
Meanwhile, Marin Cilic had to dig deep before finally seeing off Denis Istomin after another hard-fought three-set encounter - the Croatian coming through 6-7 (3/7) 7-6 (7/5) 6-4.

Michael Phelps: What did he say to Ryan Lochte before final race? (+video)
Michael Phelps has said he is retiring after the London Olympics, making Thursday's 200 IM his last race against Ryan Lochte. It was a good night for the Americans all around.
So ends the gargantuan, behemoth, titanic, and in all other ways Olympian battle between Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte.
In the end, the story SO HUGE IT HAD JOURNALISTS SCRAMBLING FOR THE CAPSLOCK BUTTON didn't end up dominating these Games. With two days remaining in the Olympic swimming program, and Lochte having swum his last race here, the Yannick Agnels and Chad le Closes and Allison Schmitts of the world have been, if anything, more engrossing than the two men who seemingly bestrode the Aquatics Centre.
But they sure did go out with a bang.
For once, everything went according to script, and Messrs. Phelps and Lochte actually had a race, and it was close, and one of them won. In the process, Phelps became the first male swimmer to win the same race in the Olympics three times in a row. (Because he didn't have enough records already.)
So after Thursday's 200-meter individual medley, the scores stand:
- Michael Phelps: 1 (200 IM)
- Ryan Lochte: 1 (400 IM)
- Swimmers not named Michael Phelps or Ryan Lochte: 2 (200 fly, 200 back)
Thursday's race gave some sense of why we in the media were more excited than un-house-trained puppies before the Olympics began. There was Phelps, and there was Lochte beside him, and every stroke was a haymaker meant to knockout the other.
Lochte was being a beast, swimming in the 200 IM just 20 minutes after he swam in the 200-meter backstroke. And Phelps had his Beijing game going, even as he managed to keep his London face firmly in place, just so darn pleased about everything.
Apparently, he had his London face on before the swim, too, chatting up Lochte. "I said to him in the meet room, 'This is our last 200 of the meet and our last 200 together.' We were just joking around, laughing about it."

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Thin sheet like clouds stretched out like a lazy cat. Silver light from the full moon outlined the thinning edges, and only a few stars could be seen dabbed carelessly across the sky. I breathed in a sharp deep breath. I was thankful that the night was cold enough to keep my tired body on edge. A light breeze rustled through the leaves. I made my way through a short overhang of pine needle branches along the sidewalk. I felt like I was walking through a tunnel. As I stared ahead, I felt the dread that something bad was going to happen. I listened intently on the sounds around me.
I halted in mid step as the gates clanked against their chains as though by some ghostly force. I stood in front of them feeling fear begin to slither through my body. I wanted to believe or even pretend this was all some nightmare. Ashley's father, Detective Kenzley, had been here two days ago when her friend was found slaughtered in the older part near the woods. Tonight the grief of finding his notes and pictures had sent her spiraling out of control. I knew her father and the police were on their way. I also knew in my heart that standing across the street, while she explored dangerous territory, with a murderer on the loose was out of the question.
I entered the gates squeezing through the one bent bar that someday needed to be fixed. I began to walk slowly. I willed myself not to run. I sucked in another breath using all my will power to scan the area before entering into the true part of the cemetery. Thick green foliage and twisted trees gave way to so many easy hiding places in the dark. I tried to keep my heart from thundering in my ears knowing that the noise could drown out the sound of someone lurking near. As I walked up the hill, my heart started to pick up pace. I would soon be entering the oldest part of the cemetery.
If there ever was a ghost to be found, it would be in the area with all the crumbled tombstones and statues. This was the one place that I felt the most uncomfortable in. It was hard not to be nervous in a place where bodies were buried beneath every patch of grass. I was always a little jumpy in cemeteries, but the darkness of night seemed to heighten my paranoia.
"Oh Ashley," I whispered beneath my breath hoping that I would find her alive and well.
I felt chilled as I entered the more shaded areas. I slowed my pace trying to dim the sound of my shoes against the gravel. I stopped near the top and braced myself against the thick trunk of a tree. I needed to try to calm the tight feeling in my chest, and I began to take deep breaths trying to mentally reassure myself. I caught movement out of the corner of my eye, and my head twisted trying to follow it. The shadow was gone. I looked to my left peering into the darkness where it was last seen, and slowly I made my way around the tree onto the soft earth. I stopped at the sight of a low head stone next to my foot.
I was standing on someone's grave. I backed up feeling my chest grow tighter, and I knew that panic was setting in. I was not good with cemeteries. My childish fears still came back to me, even when I tried to block them; they still curled up like ghostly wisps of fog. It didn't help that I had seen a massive shadow, and I was here with a killer on the loose. The crackle of shoe against gravel caused me to turn around knowing that someone was behind me. I knew I was too late, even before a solid mass rammed into me. I went sprawling down the hill. Gravel bit into my soft flesh, and the world seemed turned upside down until I landed with a painful thud on my back.
I tried to rise only to find a thick dark boot planted square on my chest. The long silver edge of a blade pressed against my throat. Panic was finally taking hold on me, but I couldn't let it consume me. I didn't even dare to breathe. I felt as though any tighter and the blade would break skin. I forced myself to look up. A pair of ice blue eyes danced like fire set in a rugged face tight without emotion. He was a handsome brute. His raven black hair caught glints of moonlight as the silver orb began to creep from the clouds.
"What are you doing here?" he demanded pressing the edge just a little closer.
He stood above me. He was on high alert as though any minute I would spring from under him. I realized I was holding his boot in my hands. I held the black leather harder feeling the traction of the bottom beneath my hand. I was trying to give myself a mental shake. I knew that, if he would just move the blade, I had the advantage of my hold to trip him and escape. Only I didn't know how to make that happen. He slackened enough for me to gulp in air, and I felt my body began to shake.
"I'm looking for something," I told him still breathing deeply. "I know it's here somewhere."
I couldn't believe how calm and foreign my voice sounded to my own ears. I bit my lip trying to take my mind off the fear that was slowly creeping up my body. I had to stay calm. I had to keep focused.
"A young lady like you should not be here in the cemetery in the dead of night. There is a killer on the loose. You should go home," he told me with a grunt.
I felt shock replace the fear. I couldn't believe this man was trying to lecture me about being safe. After all I was underneath him. I noticed the slight movement of the blade in time, and I took the opportunity knowing it may be my last. I wrenched his foot sideways, and rolled out from under him before leaping up and taking off full speed. I ran dodging statues, tombstones, and trees, and for the first time I didn't care where I was stepping as long as I didn't fall. I sped up nearly catching my shoulder on an angel statue as I took a sharp turn.
Then from outta the shadows something moved ahead. I stopped dead run and nearly toppled over my own feet. My breath caught in my chest. A fierce pair of yellow eyes shone bright in front of me. The creature inched from the shadows with a sleek body rippling with muscle. The beast halted only inches from me. Standing at five feet it looked up at me, and its long pointed claws glimmered silver beneath the light. The beast seemed to smile, flashing long sharp pearly teeth. Its head was huge, and the tail moved back and forth. The beast was a massive package of fur, muscle, and death.
Slowly I watched the blondish fur bristle as it began to hunker, and I knew it was going to pounce. I was rooted in place, to shaken to even lift an arm to defend myself. In slow motion it moved down on its hunches, and the eyes locked with my own. The monster roared before leaping in the air for me. My heart leapt, my body went weak, and I felt my legs begin to buckle. Its eyes widened, and the head flew past me. The body slumped falling hard only inches in front of me. I could see the meat and bones. I felt dizzy and almost sick from the sight. The man stood above the body like a maddened hunter, his blade glistening red with blood, and he scanned my face before giving me a cold angry look.
"I told you not to be here," he said, and I felt my mind whirl as I tried to comprehend what was happening, but I was so fuzzy. "I suggest you leave now."
I wanted to listen, to just walk away. I was trying to come to terms with my near death experience by a creature that couldn't exist. I shook my head thankful for the sudden gust of cold sharp wind that brought me back to reality, and the thought of Ashley caused my heart to thunder. She was out there somewhere, and this thing had nearly killed me. I could only hope Ashley had not run into it as well. The man tried to reach for me. I didn't give him the chance. My feet had come back to life, and I ran like hell.
"Ashley!" I shouted tears pouring from my eyes.
Blind painful terror was ripping through me, and I strained calling out for her shouting at the top of my lungs. My side ached from the running, my legs hurt. I was nauseous and jittery. I was bawling now, the tears blurring my sight. I yelled out again. I really had to find her.
"Jen," my name stopped me at once.
I turned finding a tomb with five stairs leading to a bolted door. I raced up the stairs. A small window offered a view inside the tomb. I could see a pair of startled green eyes and a pale face staring back at me. I had found her. I tried to pry the thick door open, as we both sobbed. We were afraid and unable to speak to each other. I fought the damn door, but it was stuck. The door wouldn't even budge an inch. I realized she was locked in.
"Ashley," I said trying to calm myself as well as her. "You need to open this door, please open this door."
I stepped back trying to find a way to express the urgency I felt. My voice kept catching at the thought that somewhere out there, one of those things was waiting to get me. I choked back the lump in my throat, and I squeezed my eyes shut. I fought internally with myself. I had to get a grip, or Ashley didn't have a shot in hell of getting out of here alive. I opened my eyes, angry now.
"Open this damn door!" I shouted pounding hard against the door until finally it creaked open.
I gasped at the sight of my friend leaning against the wood. Her arm was bloodied beyond belief. The limb was barely attached and blood flowed everywhere. I hadn't noticed the trail up the steps, but I had been in a state of panic. I turned to see the thick red goo splashed across white stone. I knew the loss of blood was too much for her, unless I did something, she was going to bleed to death. I hooked my arm around her supporting her weight. We tripped down the stairs. Somehow I managed to keep our balance.
"Ashley," I sobbed as we reached the bottom steps. "I am so sorry girl. I should have been here sooner."
"They will find us," she said with wide eyes. "They will kill us. You need to leave me here."
"No," I told her firmly, "No way in hell I am leaving you here to die. We will make it. Your dad and the police on their way."
I tore off my jacket. I needed to stop the bleeding or at least try to. I tied it around the gaping wound, and I knew if we didn't move fast I would lose her. I tried to drag her towards safety, but she bore more weight against me. We fell hard to the cold wet ground. I hadn't even noticed how damp the grass was until now. I tugged hard, using all my strength and we were on our feet again. Out of the blue, I felt the weight slacken. I looked to the other side to see that the maddened hunter was supporting her weight.
I felt relief at the sight of him, and he offered a grim smile my way. His face was soft for once. I heard the sirens in the distance. This gave me renewed hope and energy. I was so relieved to just hear that there was help. There was safety ahead. I pulled harder wanting to get her to her father. I finally saw the red and blue lights flashing above police cars. They were the most beautiful sight to see. Her dad raced for us. The exhaustion struck me too quick. Heavy warmth enveloped me, and then beautiful darkness.
I woke slowly to an aching body. I grunted as I rolled over feeling the satin sheets against my bare legs. I felt at peace for only a moment. The smells hit me, and I froze. This was not my bed. I reached up finding my hair damp. Fear prickled through me like tiny annoying needles. I felt the thin cotton robe that wrapped around my naked body. Where the hell was I? My eyes flew open, and I found myself staring at the man from last night. The man that I had sworn was only a part of my nightmares was sitting comfortably watching me.
"You," I growled, and he offered a charming grin.
"Well good morning to you," he said rocking in the soft cushioned chair.
"Where the hell am I?" I demanded sitting up in anger.
I realized, a little late, that the robe was loose revealing my body to him. I glared at him as I wrapped it tight around me. I noticed the spark of enthusiasm that crossed his smug face. I wanted to hit him or just scream. This could not be happening to me. I tried hard to believe this was some dream brought on by stress, exhaustion, anxiety, or anything. Hell none of this was real; it just logically could not be true.
"All that matters is you are safe," he said standing up. "I'll go make us some breakfast. You can change if you like." He paused before winking at me, "I picked that robe out just for you."
He walked out the door leaving me grasping for calm. He had bathed and dressed me. He had put me to bed like I was a small child. Rage coursed through my veins like hot liquid fire. He had no right even giving my body a second glance let alone exposing it without permission. I could have strangled him, but he was already out of the room. The thought of Ashley caused all anger to flee from my body.
Concern washed through me. I noticed the phone on the nightstand. I needed to check on her. I could very well have the cops come arrest his ass, but I knew that he had saved me. I knew that Ashley's condition last night was bad, so I decided to call the hospital first. A receptionist with a cheery disposition answered the phone, and I felt my voice catch.
"Is Detective Kenzley there with his daughter?" I asked.
"I'll need your name Hun," she said in a sweet voice.
"It's Jennifer Priel I'm his daughter's friend."
"One moment."
Elevator music drifted over the line. I felt my throat tighten as I clutched the phone in a death grip. If he was there that was good news right? I held onto the hope that I would hear his gruff voice over the phone. I heard the music drifting over the line end.
"Sorry dear, he's not here."
"Can I talk with Ashley Kenzley?" I asked, and there was a long moment of silence.
"She passed away this morning, poor girl to much blood loss. Looks like the Slasher has claimed another one."
"Oh God," I moaned.
"Are you going to be okay?" she asked.
"Are you serious! You tell me my friend died and then ask me if I am okay!" I hollered before slamming the phone down on the table.
Anger was a red hot rush like a fire burning in the skin above my heart. The flood came in a painful numbing wave. I stood up. I felt bile rise in my throat causing me to dart for the bathroom. I spent time throwing up and crying. I sobbed on the cold tile floor like a small child. I felt alone. I felt isolated and lost. The man appeared in the doorway. He instantly came to my side pulling me close to him.
"I didn't want you to find out like that sweetheart," he said brushing my hair back and grabbing a cloth to wipe my face off. "I wanted to tell you after you had gotten over the panic of everything that had taken place last night."
"The Slasher, he killed her!" I cried.
"The Slasher is no man," he told me.
Memories of last night floated into my mind. They crept through my vision like a ghost, and I felt my lungs tighten. The creature in the cemetery fit the description. The creature could slash its victims the way the police described the injuries. I shuddered at the thought of what Ashley must have gone through. She had to have defended herself, which meant unlike me, she had fought to survive. I gulped in a breath feeling the ache swell within my heart, and I fought back another waterfall of tears. She had fought to live!
"No," I groaned pressing into his arms.
"It's okay, you're going to be okay," he crooned.
I cried while he held me for hours on the bathroom floor. His face remained steady as he reassured me. I screamed and bawled. Exhaustion struck me into silence sometime later. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. I stood up needing a shower and some food. He stood up following my lead. Anger was replacing the hurt that tore at my soul. I knew what I had to do. I had to get my head on straight and go see her father. He had a right to know what happened last night. Would he believe me? I doubted it, but it was worth a try.
"My name is Jen," I said realizing we had yet to introduce ourselves. I had already spent time crying like a fool in front of him. "Jennifer Priel."
"I'm Grant Madrix. When you are ready come down and eat. I am going to go downstairs. Feel free to shower, and there are clothes in the other room," he replied in a soft tone. "Take all the time you need."
He left closing the door behind him. I thought of the name Grant and how well it suited him. I climbed into the shower. I was afraid to be alone to long, afraid to remember, and I knew I needed to fight with myself to keep from dwelling in misery. I rushed through my shower, and I was out within a matter of minutes.
Back in the room, I noticed the big dresser with a door ajar. I went through the drawer and found very few clothes. There was not a pair of jeans in sight. I had the choice between a number of summer dresses and short shorts. I chose one of the dresses. It covered more than the other outfits promised to. I glanced at myself in the mirror. My brown eyes were dark from sadness. My pale face had blotches from crying. My brown golden hair hung loosely around my shoulders framing my face.

A good shopping tip for those who are strolling along the Piazza San Lorenzo is to find out if any of the vendors with leather goods at their stand have a store. The best leather products are located in the stores, which are behind the vendor's stand (if they have a store). The best store I went into was Sax Leather Factory located at 79R Via Dell'Ariento. The staff there were really nice and helpful and even took my measurements for a custom fitted leather jacket I ordered and had shipped to my home in California. My jacket arrived in three weeks after I got home from my trip via FedEx and was in perfect condition. Excellent quality leather! I will purchase from them again! report a problem

Give Me My Sultry Summer from BitchTapes on 8tracks.
I've been here for less than a week, and this Pacific Northwest weather is not quite clicking with my system yet. I wake up in the morning, birds are chirping at my window, the sun is gleaming on my face, and it appears to be beautiful, then I step outside and it's cold. There's a giant grey cloud looming overhead, but it's sunny across the street, and just when you think the weather is going to be fine, it starts to rain? Someone tell me this changes soon. All I'm hearing is that summers here are the best, but I feel like I'm being lied to.
It's time to make the most of what's left of the summer. I'm thinking bike rides, swimming pools, a quick camping trip, or half napping/half reading a book in the park. Let's say I was going to road trip out to the nearest water park (maybe!), this just might be my soundtrack. What's on yours?
In our monthly newsletter (sign up on in the sidebar on the right!) we poll Bitch staffers and readers on their top five picks in a given category, posting the results here on the blog. Help us out and give us five, or suggest your own answers in the comments after the jump!

The hard drive on my desktop computer crashed last week, so that is why I haven't been able to submit anything lately ><. I'm in the process of ordering a new HD from Dell and it would be a couple of weeks until it arrives. Dang it, both my laptop and my desktop broke this year within months of each other, what was the chances of that happening?!? At least my desktop is 'new' enough to actually have replacement parts available. My laptop was over 7 years old and so I couldn't find the parts to fix it.
Anyways I'm going to be using my brother's computer until then . I have a bunch of arts that are almost finished so I will have a serious art dump soon!

100K sounds like a ridiculous sum of money for daysails and occasional weekending on a boat you aren't totally happy with. I might get my head chopped off for sticking my neck out here, but I suggest you use no more than 1/10 as much and invest the rest for the catamaran in another 8 - 10 years. 10K can get you a very nice first timer's mono cruiser, including the first year's cost of ownership.
Alternatively, join a sailing club and use their boats. You'll gain access to sailboats, other sailors, their collective knowledge, and you'll forego many of the headaches associated with boat ownership. Or, another approach: last summer I met a woman here in Maryland who simply crewed for others; at the end of the season I asked her how many times she had gone sailing. Her answer shocked everyone in the room: 35 times!

Noisy dishwasher
I just installed a Ge Potscrubber 550.
It's a used unit from a neighbor, they upgraded to stainless, I'm buying all their couple year old black stuff to upgrade my 15 year old junk. My old dishwasher had crapped out about 6 months ago. Anyway, I got it hooked up just fine. Neighbor said it was noisy. Yea it's noisy alright. Sounds like a grinding sound coming from the motor maybe. Appears to function 100% other than that. I spun the impeller both ways, it rotated freely, made no sounds when spun by hand. I know very little of this subject, did some Googling this morning, and it's kind of hit or miss on the subject. I didn't pay for the dishwasher, I don't mind putting in a small bit of money, however, it anyone thinks it's going to be pricey, then I'll start saving for a new one. Thanks for any input or advise.

Noisy dishwasher
Pull the dishwasher out enough so that you can look underneath it while it's running. If necessary, disconnect the water line and discharge hose and then reconnect them outside of the cabinet space temporarily so that you can get enough clearance to look underneath it while it's running. Look - don't touch anything!!! Moving parts, water and electricity!!! See if there's a metal bracket or clamp that's rubbing against the drive. Then, with the unit turned off AND unplugged from the outlet, look at the motor, and try to manually turn or move it. See if anything is binding or scraping.
Lastly, your dishwasher's sprayer arms may have a central telescopic water jet nozzle that extends upward to the bottom of the top rack when the arm is spinning. That may be rattling around as well. Or, you might just have a very noisy FREE dishwasher. Merry Christmas! Advertisement |

- 1/2 stick(s) (4 Tbsp) butter, softened
- 1.5 cup(s) chocolate cookie crumbs (about 27 Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers or 20 Oreo cookies, finely crushed)
- 3 (8 oz each) bricks 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened
- 1 cup(s) sugar
- 2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup(s) reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon(s) vanilla extract
- 4 ounce(s) milk chocolate
- 4 ounce(s) white chocolate
- 4 ounce(s) semisweet chocolate
Chocolate Glaze
- 3 ounce(s) bittersweet baking chocolate
- 2 tablespoon(s) stick butter
- 1 tablespoon(s) light corn syrup
- Place a sheet of foil on oven rack to catch any drips. Heat oven to 350°F. You'll need an 8 x 3-in. springform pan coated with nonstick spray.
- In small bowl, rub butter into crumbs until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press firmly over bottom of pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes on foil sheet until set. Cool on rack. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl with mixer on medium speed until smooth, scraping down sides of the bowl several times with a silicone or rubber spatula. With mixer on low speed beat in eggs, one at a time, then sour cream and vanilla just until blended.
- Divide the batter evenly (about 2 cups each) among 3 medium bowls. Melt the chocolates separately. Stir milk chocolate into 1 bowl of batter, white chocolate into another and semisweet chocolate into third. Spread milk chocolate batter in prepared crust in an even layer. Carefully spoon white chocolate batter over milk chocolate layer to cover; gently smooth with an offset spatula (do not let batters run together). Spoon semisweet chocolate batter over white chocolate layer to cover; smooth with an offset spatula (do not let batters run together).
- Bake 1 1/4 hours or until set and center still jiggles slightly when shaken (cake should have pulled away from sides of pan; if not, carefully run a thin knife around edge of pan to release cheesecake). Cool in pan on a wire rack. Cover; refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.
- Combine glaze ingredients in a small saucepan; whisk over low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat; let cool 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove pan sides; place cheesecake on serving plate. Spread glaze over top of cheesecake, just to the edge (some glaze may drip down side of cake). Refrigerate just until glaze is set or, if chilled longer, let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.
Tips & Techniques
Make cake through Step 5 one to two days before serving.

Sprint's offer provides unlimited talk and text anywhere in the U.S. on its network and matches the monthly data allowance for AT&T and Verizon users.

- News from Leeds is that Yorkshire have won the toss and will bat first, team news to follow...
Pete Trego took a career best 7 for 84 on a dramatic final day to the last match of the season at Headingley which eventually ended in a draw after Somerset almost pulled off a victory against champions Yorkshire.
Somerset take 12 points from this game compared to Yorshire's 9 as a result of which they end sixth in the table- the same as last year.
After the game the career best bowler, whose wickets take his tally for the season to 49 said: " It was a crazy day. We went out there to give it our best shot and to be in with a chance of grabbing a victory at the end of the day was awesome. Obviously it wasn't to be but I got on a bit of a roll and the guys at the other end did a really good job and it was a brilliant Somerset performance to get us in with a sniff.
"Unfortunately it fell away in the end as we could quite get the runs but it was definitely a day for the bowlers.
Today was as good as I have ever bowled both statistically and the way that the ball was coming out and it could have been more, but it was really exciting to be able to do my bit to give us the chance of getting a win.
Of course the shine is taken off a little bit because we couldn't quite see it through and get the win which would have meant a decent placing in the table and would have been special.
However it was not to be but it was a great personal achievement and a high note for me to finish on.
Talking about Tom Abell who scored 75 in the first innings and 34 in the second the bowling hero said: " Abes is a special talent who has got a bright future ahead of him. Every time he goes out to bat he impresses everyone about him and he is a real class act. He will score a lot of runs for Somerset in the future and he is really good to have around.
"It looked like we were going to have a day that was going to fizzle out into a familiar fourth day draw but it was far from that. It would have been nice to win but it was a good day's cricket to end the season with."
Resuming this morning on 148 for 2 Trego started the day as he meant to go on when he had Gary Ballance leg before for 69 in the sixth over, with the total on 178.
Yorkshire 'keeper Jonny Bairstow hit a rapid 49 before he was caught by Craig Kieswetter off Jamie Overton, after adding 110 for the fourth wicket in 17.4 overs with Joe Root.
Root was joined by Jack Leaning and the pair saw the hosts through to lunch by which time the total had moved onto 290 off 71 overs.
At this stage of the game a draw looked to be the most likely outcome of the day but soon after the interval when Jack Leach bowled Root for 97 with the score 313, Yorkshire lost their remaining wickets for 52 runs.
Trego accounted for the next three wickets to fall, when he had Adil Rashid caught by Kieswetter for 11 with the total on 330. The 2015 beneficiary then had Leaning caught by James Hildreth for 28 and five balls later in the same over bowled Steve Patterson for 4.
Leach had Richard Pyrah caught by Kieswetter for 11 before without addition Trego wrapped the innings off whene he bowled Ryan Sidebottom for no score as Yorkshire were all out for 365 just before 3pm.
Trego ended with his career best of 7 for 84 from 28.3 overs 6 of which were maidens
Chasing 182 for victory in 44 overs, Somerset lost Johann Myburgh for 1 with the total on 7 in the third over.
Nick Compton joined Marcus Trescothick and the pair added 55 together in 12.3 overs before the captain was out for 44 in the 15th over.
Compton took his score onto 18 when he was bowled by Brooks, before three wickets fell in 4 balls with the score on 83.
Kieswetter was LBW to Patterson for 3 off the last ball of the 24th over, Hildreth was run by Bairstow for 9 second ball of the 25th and with his next delivery Brooks bowled new batsman Trego for no score.
Tom Abell was joined by Tim Groenewald and the pair steadied the situation before taking the total onto 110 when the bowler was caught by Bairstow off Sidebottom for 1.
In the space of the next 4 overs Abell and Leach saw Somerset to 121 before the left arm spinner was stumped by Bairstow off Rashid for 8.
Abell and Jamie Overton added 14 but with the total on 135 the young batsman was caught by Rashid off Brooks for a run a ball 35.
Overton was joined by Alfonso Thomas with Somerset still needing 47 for victory off 6 overs.
Despite Overton hitting Brooks for 6 the total proved just beyond Somerset as finished on 151 for 9 off 44 overs, 31 short of their taget, and the game was drawn, Overton ending unbeaten on 12 and Thomas 8 not out.

Re: Hello All - Duluth and Corpus
Hey thanks, Lake Superior Sailor and Mike !
I have had the Dahl book for a couple of years already.
I really like the idea of going all the way across the north shore from Thunder Bay. I hear it's awfully cold even at the end of May - true ?
I was in Thunder Bay last year, driving up from Duluth to look at the harbors along the way.
The one thing I don't understand is the Canadian Conservation Areas - can you anchor in them / near them ? Are there plenty of anchorages between Thunder Bay and the eastern shores ? (I'll be soloing, so frequent stops will be important.)
Hope to run into you guys this summer !
Again, thanks, Gregg

Social Media vs. Social Diseases
A group of nonprofit reproductive health organizations has launched a video blogging contest that challenges young people to talk about their experiences with sex education in the classroom, or their lack of it. The results are a collection of frank discussions on teens, sex and health literacy. And I'm just waiting to see how much time passes before schools start blocking access to it.
The Fresh Focus Video Contest, organized in conjunction with an upcoming conference on youth, the Internet and HIV prevention provocatively titled the sex::tech conference, asks young people to submit short videos answering a question: "Why is sex so interesting and sex ed so boring?"
In particular, they're requesting students to present their video submissions from one of two perspectives. First, students can talk about their personal experience in reproductive health classes, sharing what was useful and what wasn't. Second, they challenge students to redesign the sex ed curriculum; in other words, if it were up to them, how would they like to see the subject taught? The producer of the winning video will receive a $3,500 college scholarship.
So far, there aren't too many videos posted on their website, but they're definitely provocative. In one video, a student does a simple animation of a blackboard capturing a bombardment of mixed messages directed at them by teachers and peers. A second video, My Dad's Sex Education, lampoons the whole sex ed curriculum by presenting a slide show of reproductive health information provided from an old Boy Scout manual. A third video, which you can find for yourself since I don't want anyone giving me grief for linking to it directly, critiques how they were taught to use a condom by demonstrating the technique on a variety of inanimate objects.
The videos vary in production quality, but many of them are funny, outspoken, honest and bold. And they might also be perceived as grounds for suspension in some school districts. That's why I'm so intrigued by this project, because it's basically accepting the premise that students will likely participate on their own time, far away from the classroom, since that's the only way for them to be frank and open about the issues. They want students to talk about a particular curriculum, but do an end-run around the entire educational system, using the Internet to engage students without interference by teachers or administrators.
I fully expect many educators to be horrified by some of these videos, while others will applaud it. I also wonder about the campaign's broader impact. Will educators see it as yet another reason to be afraid of student-generated video and in-class access to video-sharing sites? Or is it a creative demonstration of using social media to engage with students in a more authentic fashion? What do you think?
Filed under : Video, Youth Media
Wow, Andy. I hadn't really thought about educators being afraid of student-generated video. I'm so on-the-bandwagon that it's hard for me to understand, in particular, high school teachers who aren't paying attention to new media and how it's affecting the way youth communicate and learn.
That said, I teach a college course where I'm appalled at the "laziness" students have about research. An article I read recently talked about how a professor changed an assignment from a research paper for the professor's eyes only, to a Wikipedia article for the public to read…. and, consequently, how the quality of the work the students did improved.
The times they are a-changing.
Thanks Andy for giving me the heads up so I can go block this site ;)
Actually, it sounds like a great idea. This type of project could be used for a whole list of topics come to mind (cyberbullying, online predators, drug and alcohol abuse). Even if it makes us adults uncomfortable.
This looks like some real-time virtual reality show. There is an underlining question, why a sudden outburst and need for communication. There is a vacuum somewhere, and this gap is leading to these kinds of acts. The social media brings in the educator and the students together and paves path for fulfilling discussions. Also the scope is enormous and hence one can get views from the nook and corners of the world. Through views and opinion the educators can develop some kind of framework, if certain topics are being discussed universally.

Interesting point you make about kids having to make video submission on their own time. I guess it really depends where you live. If you go on Youtube there are scores of sex ed videos that seem to have been made by teens as a class assignment.
Definitely depends where you are, since lots of school districts ban all access to YouTube.
Andy, this awesome. I don't know what else to say. My mom commented a few weeks back about something sex related and my sister and I basically told her we had to learn it all ourselves, from friends or from TV, not her or dad. Her response was, "don't they teach you that stuff in school?" The only thing that was beneficial for me from my sex ed experience was learning how to put a condom on….a banana.
I am an educator myself and kids today don't care about the technical stuff, they want the real deal, the truth of the matter. Horror stories, happy stories…something real to relate to. I'm not sure if Jack Canfield and Marc Victor Hansen have a Chicken Soup with sex related stories in it in any of their Teen Series, but that is the stuff that kids thrive on today. Why do you think there is so much reality TV? It's not geared towards middle aged and elderly…
I just don't understand why our students are seen as 'too young' to learn about these things. They are certainly old enough to experiment with it, so let's be honest about it and give them to tools to use (mentally and physically) if they so choose to go that route. Maybe if we were more open about it, it wouldn't be such a mystery for curious teens to investigate.
To all people who are ready to make a difference for our youth…(including myself) know we already are making a change. When we all work together great things happen!
