CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities commends the Brooklyn DA's office for pushing for this indictment of NYPD Officer Peter Liang. However, we know that this was only possible because the community had an uproar and demanded the indictment. The murder of Akai Gurley was no "accident" as NYPD Police Commissioner Bratton adamantly claims. There have been 179 NYPD-related killings in the past 15 years and only 3 indictments. CAAAV continues to support the Gurley family in their journey in seeking justice, however they define justice.
We called for indictment of Liang as the family has asked, and now we call for a conviction. The so-called "criminal" justice system is no immediate solution, but we know that this system would not be able to handle cops who kill because it was not set-up to function in that way. The indictment of Peter Liang only means that we have to organize even harder to hold accountable, ALL COPS who use excessive force and take unarmed Black lives. This means that we have to support the Justice Committee (JC) and the family of Ramarley Graham to fight for their demands that Commissioner Bratton fire all officers involved and that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutes all cops responsible for Ramarley's death. This means that we have to fight for justice for Eric Garner's family who demands that Bratton fire all officers involved and that the DOJ prosecutes all officerswho killed Eric. This means that Chicago needs to fight for the conviction of the officer who killed Rekia Boyds. This means that Denver needs to fight for an indictment of the cops who murdered Jessie Hernandez.
Bratton's policies are inherently racist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, and classist. He is just as responsible for Akai Gurley's death, just as much as Peter Liang. He is responsible for Broken Windows policing and vertical patrols. Keep our eye on the prize – justice – however the families define justice for them and however communities define justice. For us, justice means that the systems and institutions that perpetuate the structural inequalities are dismantled and chipped away.

25 folks did a people's mic inside Burlington Coat Factory with the statement: "We are here in solidarity with Eric Garner and all Black lives subject to police violence. We call for police demilitarization, federal charges on Dan Pantaleo for the murder of Eric Garner, and the removal of NYPD Commissioner Bratton. We stand with Black trans communities, Black women and men targeted by police violence and the policing of bodies. This Stop Today!"
Customers and employees joined us in the people's mic and chanting! Then, 80 folks took the corner of 63rd and Queens Blvd. to rally and pass out flyers in English, Spanish, and Chinese. At the end, the rally marched over to Junction Blvd. and held Junction for a few minutes. #ThisStopsToday #BlackLivesMatter

Statement from Angela Zhuo, Youth Leader at CAAAV's Asian Youth in Action
" Hi, my name is Angela. I'm with CAAAV; we are a pan-Asian organization that works around police violence. As Asians and immigrants, we know the racicsm we face isn't the same as the struggles that Black communities go through.
But Asian communities are working in solidarity to end racism, not just for us but for all. The police have been using their power excessively. We must unite against our common enemy. Join a community organization, go to an action, tell your friends. Every little thing helps. Together we can show them our power. Together we can police brutality."
Statement from Fahd Ahmed, Director of DRUM- Desis Rising Up & Moving
"As Immigrant communities we know
Statement from Candice Sering, Gabriela NY and Bayan USA
On November 20th, NYPD rookie Officer Peter Liang shot and killed Akai Gurley, an unarmed, Black, 28-year old father, while conducting a vertical patrol in the Louis H. Pink Houses in East New York.
We put out this statement to be clear: that the murder of Akai Gurley is a part of the systemic targeting of Black people by the police, and that Officer Liang must be indicted. As a police officer, he is a part of the institutional injustice we see everyday with law enforcement. We demand an indictment of Officer Liang, just as we have with Darren Wilson and Dan Pantaleo.
To be clear, the problem is not just individual police officers; the problem is systemic. The NYPD's vertical patrols of public housing have led to unwarranted harassment of the residents and guests of those buildings, as part of the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy. When the police abuse their power, kill, and aren't held accountable for their actions, officers are affirmed that they can kill with impunity. When, as a society, we are taught to equate "Black" with "criminal" and there is no overhaul of the so-called criminal justice system, then police officers and other armed vigilantes will continue to kill unarmed Black people every 28 hours.
Without a complete and thorough overhaul of these systems, we will have more Akai Gurleys and more Officer Liangs, more Darren Wilsons and Mike Browns, more Rekia Boyds and Dante Servins.
CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities has been part of the anti-police brutality movement for decades because of our core belief that Asian and Asian American communities cannot be complacent with the current inherently flawed criminal justice system. We understand that the political and economic foundation of this country is rooted in anti-Blackness and that the criminal justice system is an extension of this foundation. Asian and Asian American communities who are often positioned as proof that racial uplift is possible despite this foundation, have more to gain from seeking justice than maintaining the status quo.
CAAAV puts out this statement with honesty and intention to highlight why we are calling for structural overhaul and police accountability, and to ensure there is no confusion in our communities on where we need to stand on the killing of Akai Gurley and others. The fact that Officer Liang is an Asian American shouldn't mean that Asian Americans don't call for justice for Akai Gurley. Quite the opposite — it should force us to examine how each of us is complicit in maintaining the status quo.
CAAAV, along with the hundreds of thousands of people who have taken the streets, are demanding an overhaul of this system. #BlackLivesMatter and we will not stand for the loss of Black life, dignity, and opportunity at the hands of the state.
We hope you will join us to demand justice for Akai Gurley.

When: Monday, October 6, 6:30-8:30PM
Where: CAAAV Office (55 Hester St)
In cases like Eric Garner and Rosan Miller, video documentation taken by brave New Yorkers has been instrumental in highlighting the epidemic of police violence we are facing in our city and around the country. As the influence of Cop Watching grows, our constitutionally-protected practice of documenting police activity is facing pushback by Commissioner Bratton. We must protect our communities and our rights- now is the time for us all to WATCH THE COPS!

I remember the day I met Yuri Kochiyama and was the eager college student who got to be her assistant for a day at a conference. Yuri said she wanted to attend the workshop put on by the South Asian Network because she wanted to learn more about the South Asian struggle post 9/11. Yuri said she didn't know much, but knew that the Japanese American and South Asian communities faced similar struggles with surveillance and xenophobia. Despite her being 85-years old at the time, Yuri felt like she still had more to learn. Yuri fell asleep during a workshop because she was tired from her medication. At the end of the day, she wrote me a letter thanking me for helping her all day and thanked me for not judging her for falling asleep during the workshop. She said she was so embarrassed that I saw her fall asleep during the workshop. When I read that, I was thinking, you're YURI KOCHIYAMA, you have nothing to be embarrassed about! Throughout her life, she never failed to write letters to acknowledge people's contribution and struggle. From the days of writing to Japanese American internees in the internment camps to even year 2006 when I met her, she was still writing letters.
Lesson learned – that there is humbleness even when you are a legend and that is one of the most important traits of leadership.
I am so utterly saddened by our movement's loss, but know that Yuri has done more than enough for our movement and we take the torch and carry it on. She has helped shape CAAAV's political analysis and how we enter into strategic alliances with other organizations for multiracial unity in our fight for racial, gender, and economic justice. On behalf of the CAAAV family, we want to thank Sister Yuri for a lifetime of contribution to fighting for racial justice here in New York City and beyond. We want to thank the Kochiyama family for letting her be part of our lives too.
Long live, long love, Yuri Kochiyama. Rest in power.
With deep appreciation,

As Asian and South Asian organizations who have been fighting police violence in its various forms, we want to express our solidarity and love for Ferguson and all victims to state-sponsored violence. From the murder of Fong Lee by police officers in Minneapolis, to surveillance of Muslim and South Asian communities by NYPD, to the drone attacks on Pakistan, Asian communities have experienced violence at the hands of the police and the military. We have seen the impact on South Asian, Arab, and Muslim communities after 9/11, the internment of Japanese communities during WWII, and throughout wars that have labeled our communities as "alien," "terrorist," and "foreign."
Though we have our own experiences with state violence, we recognize that Black bodies are the primary targets of state and police violence in this country. The brutal murders of Black people at the hands of police officers, including the deaths of Eric Garner, Mike Brown, Shantel Davis, Ayana Jones, and Ramarley Graham, are not new, but are part of a pattern of the murder of Black people at the hands of the police. We also want to recognize the deaths of Tiffany Edwards, Mia Henderson, Kandy Hall, and Yaz'Min Shancez, Trans women of color who have been killed in the past month in acts of hate violence. The loss of their lives fills us with sadness and pain. And every lost life is a reminder of the violence that Black communities face within the system of white supremacy. As immigrant communities, we must recognize and challenge the ways that the U.S. state has been built on anti-blackness that devalues Black lives and Black people's humanity.
We are inspired by the ongoing work that Black activists in Ferguson and throughout the country are doing to challenge military and police violence. The events in Ferguson is another level of violence in the U.S. where the media is being prevented from documenting the injustices present, and where legal observers are being arrested. The U.S. so quickly points their finger at other countries, but won't recognize the injustice that is being done right here. Non-black communities of color cannot be silent. We must unite together to demand that the U.S. police and military be accountable for the perpetual violence that they commit and accept responsibility. As organizations that are committed to the long term work of challenging police brutality and violence in all of its forms, we demand an end to the violence in Ferguson. We demand an end to the killing of Black teenagers because #BlackLivesMatter. We demand an end to hate violence that kills women, trans people, and immigrants every day. We demand an end to gendered violence that tears our families and communities apart. We demand an end to U.S. wars abroad. We ask that all Asian and South Asian community members stand with us to demand end violence in all its forms.

Tenant Leaders Applaud the Tenant Protection Unit for Investigating Predatory Equity Landlord
Chinatown, NY – The Chinatown Tenants Union, a project of CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities, is happy to announce that the Marolda Properties Tenant Coalition has secured the support of the State Tenant Protection Unit and Governor Cuomo. Yesterday, a subpoena has been issued to Marolda Properties for preying on rent-regulated tenants and using illegal tenant harassment tactics. Last year, dozens of tenants from buildings across Chinatown came together to demand an end to displacement and mistreatment of local residents. CAAAV, along with coalition partners including MFY Legal Services, Asian Americans for Equality, Cooper Square Committee, and University Settlement, began organizing tenants living in Marolda-owned buildings after noticing illegal harassment patterns. Marolda Properties were forcing buy-outs on tenants, bringing tenants to court for frivolous lawsuits, and denying essential repairs and maintenance, as a way to drive residents out.
The subpoena is a result of the tenants organizing to fight fortheir rights and is a major step forward to protect affordable housing in New York City. Marolda Properties tenant leaders will continue to work with TPU in the ongoing investigation to ensure that they can remain in their homes and live in safe and healthy conditions. Wun Ng, tenant from 83-85 Baxter said, "The Baxter building is special to me because a lot of my relatives live there. I have a connection to all of the residents in the building. We just want to live in peace and quite. Our village is being torn apart. I know if we all work together we can stop the aggressive harassment of tenants. Today, I'm here to demand equitable housing for all."
Tenants having been organizing and using a range of tactics to hold their landlord accountable including legal recourse. Michael Grinthal, a Supervising Attorney at MFY Legal Services said, "Marolda Properties and its owners have come into Chinatown very aggressively over the past couple of years, and MFY has gotten many calls from tenants facing bogus court cases and other harassment in their properties. We are happy to partner with the Tenant Protection Unit and believe that it will greatly assist our efforts to embolden tenants to stand up for their rights." The tenant harassment and displacement isn't isolated to Chinatown and is representative of the deplorable conditions that low-income tenants are facing throughout the city. From the South Bronx to North Brooklyn to Harlem, tenants have had enough of rising rents, lack of repairs, and unlawful evictions. "Marolda's actions fly in the face of the history of Chinatown and the Lower East Side, communities built by immigrants and communities sustained by affordable housing that contribute to the unique culture of New York. We are seeing tenants all over fighting back against predatory equity. The Marolda Properties Tenants are part of a much larger movement for housing justice," said Cathy Dang, Executive Director of CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities.
"There's no denying it — these tenants have a right to remain in their Chinatown homes, and we won't stand for landlords who try to bully them out," said Council Member Margaret Chin. "I'm so pleased that Governor Cuomo and the Tenant Protection Unit are strongly investigating Marolda Properties for alleged illegal harassment of their rent-regulated tenants, and I look forward to seeing justice for these families. I also thank CAAAV, AAFE and MFY Legal Services for their passionate work on this important issue."

So, I bottled my first batch of Apfelwein last night, but had some problems. I started the auto-siphon into the bottling bucket and had a good stream going. With about a gallon of wine left in the fermenter, the stream suction stopped and couldn't, for the life of me, get it started again. I began with the auto-siphon and couldn't get it to rise high enough in the racking cane without pumping air in the wine. Then, I pulled out the "old school" manual racking cane. I must have had 15-20 attempts before I gave up. I tried new and longer hoses and everything.
But anyway, here is my problem. I primed the Apfelwein with 3/4 cup corn sugar. Since I only ended up with 4 gallons of wine, will there be a possibility of gushers or bottle bombs? Should I maybe try recapping in a few days?
As long as it was done fermenting, you shouldn't run any risk of bottle bombs. You're still within the range of the bottles.
As a sidenote, you should start weighing your priming sugar instead of using volume - it's more reliable.
You will be fine. I tend to like my sparkling apfelwein a little more on the fizzy side anyway.
You will be fine, if anything you will have slightly over-carbed apfelwein. Cheers from Wilmington, DE!

Thanks for the replies. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Gave the wife a taste of the last gallon I couldn't get siphoned and she showed an ugly face. I'm sure it was from the yeast that I resuspended in the last gallon. Hell...tasted good to me, so thats all that matters .

High blood pressure and losing memory
What is best way to lower blood pressure?
I check my blood pressure every day and about week ago, I had 138/85, 133/80, 133/82,148/83 and I did not worry but now my blood pressure is 160-175 and sometimes almost 200!
I don't think reason for my elevated blood pressure is taking herbal supplement call Hibiscus sabdariffa but I remember about taking this supplement twice.
My question is does Hibiscus flowers help to lower blood pressure?
I am not sure.
Maybe reason why I start having higher blood pressure is because I stop taking for walk these few days?
Another thing is suddenly I forgot simple things such as how to use wiper when I am driving and how to keep turning in water (I swim and I kept turning in water over 10 times like propeller for fun for hundreds of times in the past) but suddenly, few days ago I forgot how to turn and next day I found out why.
I was trying to turn in water by facing bottom of pool to float instead of facing ceiling to float.
Is this sign of getting senile?
I hope not.
Of course most people get senile as we get old but I need to keep sharp mind.
How many of you tried herbal supplement call Hibiscus sabdariffa?
A big change in BP calls for a visit to a doctor. You may be having something going on that taking herbal remedies won't help. Be sure and tell him what you are taking.
Have you started retaining fluid? That can cause the BP to go up. It can also cause your brain to be befuddled. Have you been eating an unusual amount of salty foods? Or have you been under a lot of stress lately? A lot of things can cause a temporary rise. You really do need to have things checked out.
But since you are also experiencing forgetfulness problems, there may be something unusual going on in the brain that needs looking into. It could be connected to the rise in BP, it could even be the cause of it. Don't wait.
If you are heading for some trouble, the longer you wait, the harder it might be to correct.
I don't mean to frighten you, but the forgetfulness might be more indicative of a problem than the BP.
Thank you for taking your time to respond catherinet, agnespuff, and goldy.
I am 65 years old female.
Yes, I use my own equipment 'OMRON' to check my bp.
When doctor checked my bp about week ago, my bp was 130 and he told me it is normal.
I was relieved but now my bp is between 160-180 but today, I took for 1 hour walk and few second ago I checked my bp.
My bp is 129.
I cannot believe it.
My pulse is 82, DIA is 79, SYS is 129.
I hope I continue to have low bp but I think I start having much higher bp at evening and night.
Only thing I needed to lower bp is one hour walking?
I am not sure if this much simple or not.
If I continue to see bp of over 150,160,170 I am going to see doctor quickly.
I am concerned about connection between memory lose and high bp.
I know what do you mean goldy.
Worry doesn't help us at all and elevate our bp.
I just cannot understand why suddenly I forgot how to turn wiper because I was using wiper thousand of times when I was driving in rainy day.
Strange part is my dream became reality.
I dreamed about my confusion about turning in pool and next day, I experienced exactly what I saw in my dream.
I joked with old lady in swimming pool and I said "I am going to drown if I suddenly forget how to swim".
When I think about it, it is no laughing matter!
I start learning how to swim when I was over 60 years old and I am swimming over 3 years now.
I am sorry for my poor English.
English is my second language.
Always take you BP at the same time every day. It will tend to rise in the evenings. A good time is right after you get out of bed the first thing in the mornings before you eat, or right before you go to bed at night. Don't take it right after a hot shower or eating either.
After I battle traffic getting to my doctor office, or sit in an uncomfortable chair for ages waiting my turn, my BP is always much higher than it is in the mornings at home. Irritation zooms my BP up faster than anything.
Hi Sakura,
I think your English is great!
I have forgotten how to do things I've done a million times too. I don't think at this point, you should worry about it. I've had this car for 6 years, and sometimes I can't remember which is the turn signal, and which is the light and which is the wipers! And then there's the automatic door locks and windows that I'm always getting confused about!
Our BP can really fluctuate alot during the day. It's good that you are checking on it every day, but I wouldn't react to just one higher reading.
It can go up with stress, or too much salt or caffeine. Are you on any other meds that might raise it?
Unless you get a high reading consistently, I'd just keep doing what you're doing.
Can you have your BP cuff checked somewhere, to make sure it's accurate?
My mother took the hibiscus sabdariffa flower tea which is recommended by Dr. Williams. I took her pressure just before giving her the tea and two hours after. Her systolic dropped 60 points and her diastolic dropped 15 points. She had to take it twice a day to maintain a good pressure. She swore by it and I would recommend it to anyone with high blood pressure.
Trying any kind of supplement without your doctor's knowledge is never a good idea.
If you are having such dramatic swings in your blood pressure readings it is important to notify your doctor and discuss it with him/her.
Changes like this can indicate a problem that needs to be checked out before the problem, if there is one, gets much worse.
Please check with your doctor about what is going on and don't play around with the hibiscus idea.

NEWPORT, VT - YouŌĆÖve seen television programs that feature high speed police chases in big cities. But, they donŌĆÖt happen here, or do they?
Newport City Police Chief J. Paul Duquette said his officers have a couple to a half dozen chases every year.
NEWPORTŌĆōAlready 3-0 at home this season, the North Country boys won their fourth game of the year in dramatic fashion on Tuesday evening as they picked up the 70-68 victory over St. Johnsbury on the back of Colton White's game winner in double-overtime.
"It was very, very intense," said White of the game, "We played with a lot of heart. In the beginning our offense wasn't really flowing, so we had to gain some momentum to get it going."
CRAFTSBURY ŌĆō The Craftsbury Academy Lady Chargers hosted the Cabot Huskies Tuesday night as part of a Varsity girls/boys twin-bill between the two schools. The Chargers started off slow, but once the team settled into the game, they never looked back.
They led at the end of 1 by a score of 11-7, with 5 different players scoring points for the blue and white. But, it was the 2nd quarter that blew the game wide open. Craftsbury held the Huskies to just a single point, while they torched the hardwood by pumping in 16, including 8 by Hattie Brochu, to build a 27-8 halftime lead.
WESTMOREŌĆō The North Country nordic team hosted their first meet of the season this past weekend at Mt. Hor. On the Boys side, MMU emerged as the team victor, scoring 21 points while the Falcons took home 10th place with 206 pts.
MMU went 1, 2, 3 with Ben Hegman, Henry Harmeyer, and NIck Shallow in the top spots. The Falcons top finisher was Brian DeLaBruere with a time of 17:34, a shade over three minutes behind the leader Hegman.
COVENTRY ŌĆō PeteŌĆÖs Greens of Craftsbury has plans to expand its operations to a field across the road from the New England Waste Services (NEWS, also known as Casella) landfill site. PeteŌĆÖs Greens wants to use 10-15 acres of the 100-acre property for green houses and is attempting to broker a deal with New England Waste Services to use the site.
Monday, Amy Skelton of Pete's Greens and Alison Low of the Northeastern Vermont Development Association met with the Coventry Select Board in hopes of applying for a state grant to study the feasibility of building green houses on the property.
DERBY - Developers who want to construct two industrial size wind turbines on two farms just east of the Village of Derby Line met with Derby officials at a private meeting Tuesday. One turbine would be located on Grandview Farm owned by the Davis family, and the other on Smugglers Hill Farm owned by Jayne and Jonathan Chase.
The purpose of the meeting was to prepare for the select boardŌĆÖs public meeting scheduled for Jan. 9 at 6:30 PM and to introduce a new partner in the project, Jeffrey Hollender, a business strategy consultant from Burlington.
August 29, 1980-December 31, 2011
Jennifer Ann Cohun, 31, of Toad Pond Road died Saturday, December 31, 2011 at her home. Jennifer was born in Bellows Falls, VT on August 29, 1980, the daughter of Jack and Christine (Mitchell) Cohun.
NEWPORT - Newport merchants are reporting positive news for the holiday shopping season. Some say they did about the same as last year, but others say sales were way up.
Jim McKimm with the Memphremagog Arts Collaborative (MAC) said business was up this season 60 percent over last year. ŌĆ£The artists are very excited about it,ŌĆØ he added. The MAC stayed opened later hours in December leading up to Christmas and that decision was a good one, McKimm said, one that paid off with extra shoppers.
DERBY, VT - Well over 600 revelers from all over Orleans and northern Essex County participated in IROCŌĆÖs 6th Annual New YearŌĆÖs Eve Bash with fun and games throughout the afternoon and evening. Mark Shelton and his Captain Radical Pirate Show highlighted the event.
We brought the arcade and the ping pong, pool, and air hockey tables down to the main floor and WilsonŌĆÖs Entertainment provided play without charge for the entire day and night. They were busy as were the bounce houses and the water slide.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Department of Justice reached an agreement Tuesday with American Airlines and US Airways to allow their merger to proceed. As part of the deal, the two airlines agreed to concessions that will make it easier for other carriers to fly into some of the nation's busiest airports. The other airlines would like to serve those airports now but are blocked either by government restrictions on the number of takeoffs and landings or by too few available gates.
American and US Airways will give up a combined 104 takeoff and landing slots at the airport, located minutes from the nation's capital. Two slots are required to fly a plane in and out of the airport at peak times.
JetBlue Airways will be offered 16 of those slots, which it currently leases from American. The Federal Aviation Administration will distribute the other 88 slots to various airlines. The last time slots became available at the airport in 2011, the FAA auctioned them off to airlines with less than 5 percent of the existing slots. JetBlue paid $40 million for eight pairs of daily slots at National. Sun Country Airlines won service to Lansing, Mich.
As a result, the new American will operate 44 fewer Washington daily departures than the 290 that American and US Airways currently operate.
Allegiant Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines and Spirit Airlines all bid but didn't win slots at National or New York's LaGuardia Airport in the 2011 auction. Tiny Sun Country was awarded one slot at Reagan.
American and US Airways will also forfeit up to five gates at the airport: Gates 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32, if necessary.
The new airline also has to reserve 74 of its existing takeoff and landing slots for flights to small- or medium-sized airports for the next five years. Those will be on planes with 76 seats or less.
The two airlines will also give up 34 landing and takeoff slots at LaGuardia, the airport closest to Manhattan preferred by business travelers.

Leaf's ceramics have been displayed in shops and galleries across the country and in the homes of collectors around the world. He hand-crafts and hand-glazes each piece in his San Francisco studio.

Eliza too big for 110 lb paddler.
Posted by: Yanoer on Mar-24-13 2:17 PM (EST)
I fit it just fine at 5'6" and 165 lbs.
CD Suka crimps my thighs, so likely a good fit for small female.
Only in composite,though, so on the expensive side.

I was lucky enough to meet Dorothy Day on several occasions in the 1950's. Wonderful woman with a penetrating gaze and a coronet of snow white hair.

And the Oscar Winners Go To...
First Stop: the Governors Ball, Where Starving Stars Fueled Up on Fine Fare, Toasted Their Wins and Prepped to Party All Night
Forget the fancy frocks. "The Governors Ball is one of the most beautiful things about the Academy Awards," declared Marcia Gay Harden. "There's food!" After sitting through the nearly four-hour ceremony, hungry hobbits and other famished film stars streamed into the Kodak Theatre's Grand Ballroom to fill up before heading out. The first post-ceremony stop, the ball is a chance for winners to toast their victories (the Return of the King and Lost in Translation casts raised a glass), for runners-up to unwind ("I'm having a great time, are you kidding?" said a Coppola-hopping Diane Keaton; nearby, Jude Law smooched girlfriend Sienna Miller), and for players to plot the rest of their evening. Charlize Theron's boyfriend Stuart Townsend made no secret of their plans: "Party after party," he said, "till we drop!"
Party Time!
Vanity Fair's famously eclectic mix included civilians, stars and even a moon-walker, astronaut Buzz Aldrin
After the final envelope is opened and the last agent thanked, every celebrity has a plan—and most of those plans include Vanity Fair's top-line do, a tough ticket that draws a rich mix of the famous from showbiz and beyond. With the adrenaline still flowing like champagne, and the champagne flowing like water, Oscar laureates Charlize Theron, Sean Penn, Renée Zellweger and Tim Robbins mixed and mingled—and stargazed just like everyone else.
Putting on the Ritz
How do you cater a sit-down meal at Mortons for 150 of Oscar's intimate friends? For a start, engage Patrick Woodroffe, who designed the lighting for Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee concerts at Buckingham Palace. Then unleash chef Lorenzo Roman; set up TVs to view the ceremony; and bedeck the tables with Asprey silver napkin rings, ashtrays and match strikers. That said, what did Jay Leno like best about the V.F. party? "The free food!"
What a Knight!
Sir Elton John showed stars a good time for a good cause at his AIDS-benefit bash
You didn't have to be at the Oscars to do the Oscars. For about 350 guests, including Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, the Osbournes and Donald Trump, the place to watch the Awards was the Elton John AIDS Foundation/IN STYLE/Bentley Motors party held at the Marquee at Pearl in West Hollywood. Entry fee: $2,500. "People are paying good money; you have to give them good value," said the host, who brought partner David Furnish and spaniel Arthur. "Arthur's wearing his Gucci collar," said Elton. "He's not going to get too spoiled, I hope."

Creating a department
|Created: 2011-12-20
|Updated: 2011-12-20
|Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO64087
The Department organizational type lets you add your company's departments into the Configuration Management Database (CMDB). You associate each department with a location, cost center, and a barcode that is used for physical audits. The Department configuration item type also lets you specify a manager for the department.
When you enter data for a department, you can specify its hierarchical position within the company. Note that on the Department page, all departments are displayed in the flat list. You can see the hierarchy of the departments on the Organizational Views and Groups page.
This task is a step in the process for setting up your organizational structure.
See Setting up your organizational structure.
To create a department
In the Symantec Management Console, on the Home menu, click Service and Asset Management > Manage Configuration Items.
In the Create configuration item dialog box, give the department a name.
To create a child department, under Department Hierarchy, select a parent department.

Euphorbia question
socksJanuary 20, 2013
My first experience with euphorbia, planted last spring. Label is gone so I'm not sure which one as there are several in the Sunset book. This one has slim, silvery leaves, about 3' high, same width. The tips of each stem have tiny newish looking growth but that growth points down, not up. I'm wondering why.
I haven't watered it much this winter.

Toby Mac helped close the Newsboys set when he and Michael Tait did "Jesus Freak." I was a very cool moment for anyone who was a fan of DC Talk, and the place erupted. I got to talk to both Toby and Tait after their performance and they both had a great time revisiting one of the greatest collaborations in Christian music.

Jude Law's bouncing baby girl is ready for her close-up. Samantha Burke, the mother of his 5-week-old daughter, Sophia, has unveiled the tot after reportedly inking a big bucks deal for the pictures.
Burke's rep confirms to the London Daily Mail that she landed a payday somewhere in the tony neighborhood of $300,000 for a photo shoot and interview that reportedly took place last week at her mother's Florida home.
RELATED: See which other celebs have babies out of wedlock
The high bidder: Hello! magazine, which features mother and daughter snuggling on the cover of the latest issue.
"Jude hasn't met Sophia yet," the aspiring model-actress reveals in the 14-page spread (14!). "But I am sure he will be a wonderful father ... I think he'll fall in love with her when he sees her."
Jude, who is currently treading the boards in the Broadway production of "Hamlet," has reportedly been putting off meeting his newest addition (he has three other children, Rafferty, 13, Iris, 8, and Rudy, 7, with ex-wife Sadie Frost) because of the media scrutiny and his Prince of Denmark duties.
RELATED: Become a fan of Wonderwall on Facebook
"There are no plans for it to happen at the moment, but I know he's busy," Burke says of the introduction (via the Daily Mail). "I hope for him to be just as good as he is to his three children by Sadie Frost. He's a great father to his three kids. She's his daughter and I believe he'll come through. I mean once you see her face, how can you deny it?'
According to Samantha, Sophia's "features are more like Jude's. She has his chin and nose, and she does a little pout that I notice that he's done before. I think her eyes are more like mine, though."
When asked if she's received any baby gifts from Law, she conceded, "No, nothing."
RELATED: Follow Wonderwall on Twitter
Sophia's debut comes just weeks after the actor, 36, was verified as the daddy through a DNA test.
Burke's flack broadcast the results, and, in what was likely a fit of both wishful thinking and delusions of grandeur, added, "Check back in six months. Maybe she and Jude will be getting married."
That's unlikely, to say the least, given that Jude apparently hasn't seen Samantha, 25, since their brief, sperm-meets-egg-marked hookup in New York last winter. Plus, he still seems to be enjoying the single life. A lot.
RELATED: Celebrity babies Superfans site
The New York Post says he was sucking on cancer sticks (and other things) while in the company of three lovely ladies at a Manhattan hot spot last week.
"He was making out with one of the girls," relays a spy. "The female bartender came over and told him to put out the cigarette."
Law has said he "intends to be a fully supportive part of the child's life," although it appears that support wasn't enough to keep the tyke out of the spotlight.
"He wants to handle this as privately as possible," an insider tells the New York Daily News, "and Samantha is making a circus out of it."

Under cabinet wiring -- small junction box
My general contractor is also doing the wiring himself. It is common here to just bring exposed NM cable out the wall, just under the upper cabinet, tack it to the underside of the cabinet, and hard wire it into the light fixture. He tells me that inspectors have started not allowing that exposed NM, so he wants to either mount the light all the way back against the wall (no, I'm not doing that, poor position for the light) or mount a box under the cabinet and run armored flex to the light.
1. Is this reasonable?
2. Is there a really shallow box available? The one he had is pretty shallow, but I only have 1.5" of recess under the cabinet.
2b. Is painting a plastic junction box allowed?
This post was edited by attofarad on Fri, Jan 4, 13 at 17:56
Carlon has an 1 1/8" deep plastic box but most (all?) of the very shallow boxes have clamps for non-metallic cable (Romex) OR armored cable (AC/MC) which would create a problem transitioning from one to the other. You have to get to about a 1 1/2" deep box before you get to 1/2" knockouts where you could use external cable clamps. You also need to consider box fill, which doesn't allow for much in the super shallow boxes.
1. Whatever the AHJ says, goes. If you doubt the contractor, check with your code enforcement folks.
2. Answered above.
3. Yes.
If you're looking for a more finished appearance, you might consider something like Wiremold.
Generally speaking unqualified persons are prohibited from doing work in other people's homes and multifamily dwellings. If your contractor isn't a licensed electrician he shouldn't be doing the work.
A 1.125 inch box is going to be pretty large if it has internal clamps (counts as 1 of the largest wires in the box, likely #14 in this case) to met box fill requirements.
Think at least 4 in x 4 in.
Consider puttin a smaller but deeper boc \\x ontheback wall of the cabinet and the low voltage power suply inside the box.
Pegasus lighting has 60 W, 12 V supplies that fit n a single 'device' size box.
You could also use a short piece of EMT for protection and then paint it.
He could use shielded cable (armored) or WAC has small juction boxes (this is what I used for our under cabinet low voltage lighting).
My non-electrician opinion:
I typically see NM cable installed nice, flat and straight to the fixture, and everybody is happy.
The inspectors probably flag it when it's a sloppy install.
I think armored cable would look ridiculous and be nearly impossible to work with for short runs in tight spaces. The space is too confined to bend it as necessary.
Here is the WAC link:
Thanks for the link, doug_gb, but I don't think that will solve my 120V wiring problem (maybe I don't understand it).
I'm going to suggest to my contractor that he uses brickeyee's suggestion of sinking a standard depth box into the back of the upper cabinets, then bring the MC cable from there. I'll likely need a 90 where it connects to the light.
Contractor may have another idea on the subject.
Why hasn't the contractor offered his own solution to this problem? Is he an electrician? You might reconsider making suggestions based on this thread. If you're not happy with the result, he's just going to say "well, that's what you said to do."
If you were to position the fixtures mid-way under the cabinets (from front to back), nobody is going to see or be bothered with a short length of NM cable that feeds it.
"If you were to position the fixtures mid-way under the cabinets (from front to back), nobody is going to see or be bothered with a short length of NM cable that feeds it."
More aimed at the OP than homebound. Think about maintenance. In an active kitchen the underside of cabinets can get pretty sloppy. The smoother it is, the easier it is to keep clean. In this case a cleaning job that might take a few seconds can go to to a few minutes with a lot of crapola hung on the underside of the cabinets.
homebound, the original post gave the electrician's suggestion. He said this morning that he will not have any problem implementing what I suggested, and I will have none being happy with the result.
As I said, the electrician says inspectors are failing exposed NM. I have no idea whether they actually should be failing it, as it has commonly passed here in the past. Anyway, I have zero interest in mounting the lights "mid-way under the cabinets", and I'd like to keep to a minimum the number of changes after final inspection. A box flush to the back inside the cabinet is a lot less ugly than any box underneath the cabinet.
I may eventually cover the MC with something smooth and cosmetic, at least on the one cabinet I can see under when seated at the table.
It's hard for me to visualize this as an inconspicuous solution and I'd like to understand this for the future. You don't think that stuff in the cabinets (how many cabs, btw?) will bother you?
For example, if my guy told me he wants to put a couple j boxes under some cabinets for my clients, I envision big, ugly, metal boxes and I know they would go nuts.
Alternatively, if he were installing some boxes "flush with the back of the cabinets", then I envision extra work, cost, holes (including recess in the wall behind cab), and at the very least, a little elbow in the cabinet that bumps into the dishes or whatever. Do you see what I mean? What am I missing?....or are these j boxes going behind the cabinets before they are hung?
That's why I would think using wire mould under the cabinet would be the simplest, cleanest way to achieve the protection you need. But that's me. Not to cause you trouble or doubt, but I just don't understand this as a good solution for line voltage (as opposed to thinner , low voltage wire.) and I would like to understand it. (Sorry!)
Thanks for the post. Please post pics and let us know how it works out. Good luck with everything.
This post was edited by homebound on Tue, Jan 8, 13 at 8:50
homebound, imagine a wall switch. Remove the cover plate and switch, and put a blank panel on it. That is how far the box will stick into the cabinet, something like 3/16". It sticks out less than the inside back bottom rail of the cabinet, so nothing will be touching it. I could even veneer the cover to match the cabinet interior, but will likely just buy a close match.
One thing you are missing is that the electrician left some of the NM cable a bit short, either assuming that the lighting connection would be on the side toward the wall rather than on the end of a forward mounted fixture, or he just screwed up. In a couple of cases, there will probably have to be a box somewhere anyway, to lengthen the connection.

PQI i-Power 3300 Portable Rechargeable Battery Review
After not having many portable chargers, I now have a box full of them. We've taken a look at the Tylt PowerPlant and Patriot's awesome FUEL+ charger, but how does PQI's offering stand up against the competition?
Well, for starters we have the PQI i-Power 3300, and as you may have guessed, it's a 3300mAh portable rechargeable battery. It comes in a very slim profile, which is one of the best things going for it, a sleek look, and a thin USB cable which comes in handy. PQI make countless accessories for multiple markets and products, so I'm glad they're stepping into the portable rechargeable battery market with their new i-Power line of products.
There is a single USB output which goes into your smart device for that charging goodness, and a microUSB port for charging the i-Power 3300 itself. I like to piggy back these things together, so I have countless days (not hours) of charge. PQI has an MSRP of $34 for the i-Power 3300 Portable Rechargeable battery, which isn't too bad at all.
After enjoying days upon days of charge from my Patriot FUEL+ charger, I wasn't expecting the same results from PQI's i-Power 3300. First of all, we only have 3300mAh of battery inside of the thing, which will only charge the average smartphone once, and a bit.
It's enough, and it's not like this is a bad part of the device, but it has its place in the market. PQI is selling the i-Power 3300 for under $35, which is a great price for something that can come in handy for your smart device charging needs.
I found the flat design very useful for sliding it into my pocket, where it would sit snug against the back of my Galaxy S4. The flexible, flat USB cable helped a lot, instead of it bending in a weird way or getting stuck, it felt natural in my pocket. Sure, this isn't how most people would use it, but if you were sitting at dinner, at a bar, or in a movie, you could have the i-Power 3300 slowly, but surely charging your smartphone back up to full.
It's not the fastest charger, with it being noticeably slower (close to half) of the 2.5A power of the Patriot FUEL+ charger. Of course, that is more expensive, and a more premium device compared to the much cheaper i-Power from PQI. This is because the i-Power 3300 has just 1.5A being pumped from it.
PQI has given the i-Power charger four blue lights near the power button which indicate just how much battery is left, as shown in the picture above. I found it to be quite accurate, but the charge did get sucked from it quickly because of its 3300mAh charge.
I like to do all of my mobile testing (including smartphone reviews) in real-world scenarios. I don't want to show you charts of "this is how much charge you'll get", because it's unrealistic, and is definitely not a real-world test.
How did I use the PQI i-Power 3300? I was at my brother's place, enjoying a game of poker, while my phone sat next to me charging. When I walked away and to my car at the end of the night, I placed my Galaxy S4 and i-Power 3300 in my pocket, and away I went. It didn't bulk the pocket of my jeans up, which was a nice surprise.
I think the i-Power has its market, and that market isn't the full-on enthusiast or power user. It would be perfect for someone with a smartphone or iPod who only needs to charge their device in an emergency, or when they've forgotten their charger and left it at home.
Should you buy it? That's up to you - it really comes down to looks, and real-world use. If the idea of fitting this in your pocket (along with your smartphone or iPod) appeals to you - then yes - if not, I would look at Patriot's FUEL+ charger instead.

Think about it: As holidays go, it's one of the most solemn we observe.
Memorial Day used to be called Decoration Day, the day when the graves of those who died in battle were decorated. And thankfully, that tradition continues. For a long time it happened every May 30 and although that day still stands as the official date, the observation of the holiday was changed in 1968 to provide a three-day weekend.
Besides decorating the graves of the fallen, there are some solemn ways to remember those who died, traditions that you may not even know about.
Did you know, for example, that the U.S. flag only flies at half-staff for half the day on Memorial Day? On that day, the flag is raised to the top of the staff at dawn and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains until noon. It's then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.
Why? The half-staff position remembers more than 1 million men and women who gave their lives in service to their country. At noon, their memory is raised by the living, who promise not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to instead rise up in their place to continue the fight for liberty and justice for all.
Probably the best way to honor the fallen is to visit a local cemetery and place flags on the graves of veterans buried there. Two places where the holiday will be observed in full force are the Gettysburg National Cemetery and the Arlington National Cemetery.
At 3 p.m. on Memorial Day, everyone should pause for one minute and remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for this nation. Taps should be played. If you don't happen to be a bugler, you can listen to it courtesy of the Army training manual.
Although there are no official words to taps, these are the most popular and beautiful ones. As such, I'd like to end my column with them. Have a safe and solemn Memorial Day, everyone.
Day is done, gone the sun, From the hills, from the lake, From the skies. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. Go to sleep, peaceful sleep, May the soldier, or sailor, God keep. On the land, or the deep, Safe in sleep.
Love, good night, Must thou go, When the day, And the night, Need thee so? All is well. Speedeth all, To their rest.
Fades the light; And afar, Goeth day, And the stars, Shineth bright, Fare thee well; Day has gone, Night is on.
Thanks and praise, For our days, 'Neath the sun, Neath the stars, 'Neath the sky, As we go, This we know, God is nigh.

Great for geocaching. Locus makes geocaching without internet smooth and easy. With internet access it is even better.
