Chicken Invaders 4 Easter
I remember the day of the invasion well. The memories still burn deeply, like spicy chicken wings.
They came without warning, squawking menacingly, their ruffled feathers darkening the sun. Invading intergalactic chickens, out to punish humanity for our oppression of their earthly brethren.
I instantly knew what had to be done. I dropped my half-eaten chicken burger and jumped in my cockpit. With a greasy finger I set my lasers to "extra crispy" and blasted off to intercept the fowl invaders.
It wasn't easy. Squawks, feathers flying, the smell of charred chicken everywhere. Three times they invaded, each time with increasingly devious plans. Three times I managed to push them back whence they came, and secure humanity a few more years as the dominant species of this planet.
After their last retreat, I headed for my local Space Burger to bask in the glow of my recent victory. Breathing a sigh of relief, I sat down to enjoy a double chicken-burger with crispy chicken wings on the side.
Little did I know that my greatest adventure was yet to come...

As the last intergalactic chicken invaders flee our Solar System
and lingering feathers still smolder in interplanetary space,
I ease up on the trigger and wipe the sweat from my brow.
My work here is done.
Saving the world sure works up an appetite.
I'm plotting a course for the nearest Space Burger.
I think I'll have the spicy chicken wings tonight.
Or perhaps their galaxy-renowned chicken pie?
Ah, the choices of a hero are never easy.
Suddenly, I am yanked back to reality by the whine
of my trusty spaceship's automated warning system.
Why are all my dashboard lights flashing red?
Why has the Earth darkened so?
And why does it all have to happen just as I'm about to eat?
Looks like tonight's dinner will have to wait...

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
05 Jan 2012 15:25 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Kuwait, Qatar, Syria
Activists have accused the Syrian government of misleading Arab League observers by taking them to areas loyal to the government, changing street signs to confuse them, and sending supporters into hostile neighbourhoods to give false testimony.
The month-long observers mission, which started on December 27, offers a rare outside glimpse into a country where a government crackdown on a 9-month-old uprising has killed more than 5,500 people, according to the UN.
But there are fears that government loyalists have corrupted the observers process beyond repair.
There was no immediate comment from the Arab League on Wednesday, but Jihad Makdissi, the Syrian foreign ministry spokesman, denied the allegations.
"We don't interfere in the mission's job," he told the Associated Press news agency.
He said that government escorts were necessary to protect the observers.
Opposition claim
Among other things, opposition activists said government loyalists were painting military vehicles blue to make them look like police vehicles.
They called this a ploy that allows the government to claim it has pulled the army out of heavily populated areas in accordance with the Arab League plan that was supposed to end the government's crackdown on dissent.
The plan requires the government to remove security forces and heavy weapons from city streets, start talks with opposition leaders and free political prisoners.
Syria agreed to it on December 19, paving the way for the observers to enter. About 100 monitors are in the country now to assess whether the regime is complying.
Live Box 20117693233259422
But the Arab League has acknowledged that killings have gone on, even with the observers on the ground.
Activists put the death toll at more than 400 people since December 21.
As the observers continued their work on Wednesday, security forces and pro-government groups shot dead at least 12 people, nine of them in central Homs province, activist groups said.
The secretary-general of the Arab League, Nabil Elaraby, said in Cairo that the regional body would not cut short the observers mission in Syria.
An Arab diplomat on Tuesday said that the 22-member organisation would consider pulling out of Syria because the killings were continuing despite the observers' presence.
The Arab League has claimed some victories for the monitors, including the withdrawal of heavy weapons from cities and release of thousands of prisoners.
But Syria has banned most foreign journalists and prevented independent reporting, making it difficult to verify any claims from either side. Interviews with activists and witnesses over the past week indicate there have been clear signs of interference with the mission.
"The observers are going to areas known to be loyal to the regime," Rami Abdul-Rahman, head of the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said.
'Mistakes' acknowledged
The Arab League monitors made "mistakes" in Syria during their mission to investigate the crackdown, Kuwait's state news agency quoted Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, the prime minister of Qatar, as saying.
"This is the first experience for us ... and I said we must evaluate the types of mistakes it [the mission] made and without a shadow of a doubt I see mistakes, even though we went in [to Syria] to observe, not to stop the violence," he said after a meeting with Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, in New York, according to the KUNA report on Thursday.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
Sheikh Hamad, who also chairs an Arab League taskforce on Syria, did not elaborate on the "mistakes", but said he was seeking "technical help" from the UN.
For its part, Syria announced on Thursday the release of 552 people who were detained over their involvement in political unrest and who had "no blood on their hands".
The official SANA news agency said that 2,645 prisoners were also released in November. Rights groups and the UN estimate that several thousand people have been arrested since anti-regime protests erupted in mid-March.

Your browser does not support iframes.
By Tony Moss, NFL Editor
(Sports Network) - A little more than a month ago, the Denver Broncos and New York Giants were both undefeated and beginning to think bigger.
Five weeks later, as they head into their Thanksgiving night battle at Invesco Field at Mile High, the Broncos and Giants find themselves trying to maintain their rapidly deteriorating territory in the playoff race.
Homestanding Denver enters Thursday's contest nursing a four-game losing streak that has robbed Josh McDaniels' squad of its once-firm grasp on the AFC West lead.
The Broncos, who were 6-0 and owned a three-and-half-game lead over the Chargers when the month of November began, are now in second-place after San Diego's 32-3 rout in Denver this past Sunday.
The Broncos committed three turnovers in the loss, including a key second- quarter fumble by running back Knowshon Moreno at the goal line, while a struggling defense surrendered 203 yards on the ground to LaDainian Tomlinson and the San Diego rushing attack.
After allowing just 11 points per game during their 6-0 start, the Broncos have given up more than 29 per outing during their four-game slide.
The Giants come off a happier Week 11 result, though the residue of the club's own four-game losing streak was not completely washed away in a 34-31 overtime victory over Atlanta.
Eli Manning had his strongest day of the year, completing 25-of-39 passes for a season-high 384 yards with three touchdowns and an interception to get Big Blue back into the win column, but an injury-riddled Giants defense continued to have some issues.
The Giants allowed two long Falcons drives in the fourth-quarter that helped Atlanta rally from 31-17 down to force overtime, before Manning bailed out that group by leading an eight-play, 49-yard drive in overtime that ended with Lawrence Tynes' 36-yard game-winning field goal.
Tom Coughlin's squad enters Week 12 one game behind first-place Dallas (7-3) in the NFC East, and is tied with Philadelphia (6-4) within a crowded NFC East.
Both teams have some history on Thanksgiving Day.
The Broncos last played on Thanksgiving in 2006, when they fell to the Chiefs, 19-10, dropping their record on the holiday to 2-8 all-time. Denver last won on Thanksgiving in 2005, when they downed the Cowboys, 24-21 in overtime.
Denver last hosted a Thanksgiving Day game in 1963, when they lost to the Raiders in an AFL matchup.
The Giants last appeared on Thanksgiving in 1992, when they were 30-3 losers to the Cowboys. New York is 7-5 all-time on the holiday, and Big Blue last won on Turkey Day in 1982, when they won at Detroit.
The Giants lead the all-time regular season series with the Broncos, 5-4, breaking a deadlock in the series with a 24-23 home victory during the 2005 season. Denver won the previous meeting, a 31-20 home affair in 2001. The Giants are 0-2 in Denver since last winning there in 1989, and home teams are 7-2 in the regular season series all-time.
In addition to the regular season series, the teams met for Super Bowl XXI in Pasadena following the 1986 season, won by the Giants by a 39-20 count.
Coughlin is 3-3 in his career against the Broncos, including 2-3 during his tenure with Jacksonville (1995-2002). Coughlin's Jags were 30-27 upset winners over Denver in a 1996 AFC Divisional Playoff, and fell by a 42-17 count in a 1997 AFC First-Round Playoff. Denver's McDaniels will be meeting both Coughlin and the G-Men for the first time as a head coach.
After experiencing some rough seas during the Giants' first three losses of the season, Manning (2454 passing yards, 18 TD, 9 INT) seems to have regained his steady hand against the Chargers and Falcons the past two weeks. In the loss to San Diego and win over Atlanta, Manning was a combined 50-of-72 (69.4 percent) for 599 yards, five touchdown passes and just one interception, while getting all of his many targets involved. The Giants' main receiving triumvirate - Steve Smith (65 receptions, 5 TD), Mario Manningham (40 receptions, 4 TD), and rookie Hakeem Nicks (28 receptions, 4 TD) - have all added value, and the trio along with tight end Kevin Boss (24 receptions, 4 TD) have accounted for 16 of Manning's 18 touchdown passes on the year. Manningham was high-man with six catches and 126 yards against Atlanta, while Boss caught a pair of touchdown passes to give him three end-zone appearances in the past two weeks. On Thursday, the Giants will be looking to complement the aerial attack with a renewed effort from the running game. Brandon Jacobs (656 rushing yards, 3 TD) had a disappointing year extended last week, when he rushed for just 39 yards on 12 carries but did score a touchdown. Ahmad Bradshaw (549 rushing yards, 4 TD, 10 receptions) wasn't any better, carrying 12 times for 34 yards, and is questionable for Thursday with ankle and foot problems. New York is seventh in the league in rushing (133.8 yards per game) after leading the NFL in that category a season ago. The Giants line has surrendered a modest 16 sacks on the year.
If the Broncos wish to end their winning streak on Thursday night, the team will have to re-locate a defense that has over the past month looked little like the dominating unit that fueled the team's 6-0 start. A lack of playmaking has been among the club's biggest problems, as Denver has recorded just two takeaways over its past four games after coming up with 12 in its first six. A well-regarded secondary, led by cornerbacks Champ Bailey (55 tackles, 1 INT) and Ty Law (6 tackles) along with safety Brian Dawkins (71 tackles), will look to make life difficult for Manning and the receivers on Thursday. Dawkins exited last week's contest with a neck injury, but is expected to play against the Giants. The run-stopping unit that did not hold up well against Tomlinson and the Chargers last week will have to be more stout, beginning with inside linebackers D.J. Williams (79 tackles, 2.5 sacks) and Andra Davis (68 tackles, 3.5 sacks). Up front, ends Vonnie Holliday (18 tackles, 2 sacks) and Ryan McBean (15 tackles) had four tackles each versus the Bolts and will seek to provide a presence at the point of attack. The pass rush continues to be led by Elvis Dumervil (34 tackles, 12 sacks), who leads the NFL in sacks but has notched only two during the club's four-game skid.
Kyle Orton (2202 passing yards, 11 TD, 5 INT) missed his first start of the season last week due to a sprained ankle suffered the week before in Washington, but it wasn't long before Orton showed his face. Relieving the ineffective Chris Simms, Orton couldn't fuel a comeback, completing 15-of-29 passes for 171 yards and an interception. The Purdue product is expected to be back in the starting lineup this week, and will try to get wideouts Brandon Marshall (52 receptions, 6 TD) and Eddie Royal (31 receptions) involved early. The duo combined for just 55 yards on seven combined receptions against the Chargers. Jabar Gaffney (26 receptions) led the Broncos with 55 receiving yards on three grabs in the loss. Tight end Tony Scheffler (23 receptions, 2 TD) managed just one catch on the afternoon. Moreno (600 rushing yards, 14 receptions, 3 TD), meanwhile, will be trying to shake off a rough outing against San Diego that included 80 yards on 10 carries but was defined by his costly turnover, coupled with a widely-aired shoving match with Marshall on the sideline. Fellow rusher Correll Buckhalter (399 rushing yards, 1 TD, 23 receptions) made his 10 touches count for 81 yards last week, and should be heavily involved against a Giants team that he knows well from his days in the NFC East as a member of the Eagles. The Denver o-line has allowed a modest 19 sacks on the year, with three coming last week. The Broncos are 16th in the league in rushing offense (112.4 yards per game), 19th in passing offense (210.6 yards per game).
Incumbent upon the Giants in their quest to extend the win streak to two games is finding some answers on a battered defense that has had trouble against both the pass and rush at alternating times this season. A pass defense that is second in the league in yards allowed (177.4 yards per game), but has been far from perfect in coverage, allowed 268 yards to the Falcons' Matt Ryan last week despite the return of cornerback Aaron Ross to the lineup. Ross, who missed the first nine games with a hamstring problem, had four tackles while opposite corner Corey Webster (35 tackles, 1 INT) had a whopping five pass breakups. A hit-or-miss pass rush led by ends Osi Umenyiora (20 tackles, 5 sacks) and Justin Tuck (32 tackles, 4.5 sacks) will be seeking to mitigate the team's coverage problems with some pressure. Umenyiora has only two sacks in his last six games, and Tuck's sack of Ryan last week broke a string of four consecutive outings without a QB takedown. The indefinite absence of middle linebacker Antonio Pierce due to a neck problem has placed considerable stress on the NFL's 11th-ranked rushing defense (104.8 yards per game), though linebackers Chase Blackburn (42 tackles) and Michael Boley (34 tackles, 1 sack) - who combined for 20 tackles in limiting the Falcons to 90 rushing yards on 30 carries, were able to compensate last week. Fred Robbins (19 tackles, 1 sack) and Barry Cofield (18 tackles) have been the team's most active interior line run-stuffers this season.
The Giants have been a frustrating team from a fantasy perspective this year, as seemingly no one in either the passing or running games has been a consistent producer. Jacobs and Bradshaw (if healthy) are probably still worth having in the lineup due to the number of touches they both receiver, and wideouts Manningham, Nicks, and Smith will likely contribute something, as will Boss. Don't look for another 300-yard day out of Manning, though. The most reliable Giant has probably been kicker Lawrence Tynes, who isn't deadly accurate but gets a lot of opportunities. Steer clear of the Giants defense until further notice.
The Broncos are a hard fantasy team to peg as well. The passing game has taken a major step back the past few weeks, with Orton's injury complicating matters, but you might want to take a flier on either Marshall or Royal against a suspect Giants secondary. Also, Moreno is a decent play against a Big Blue defense missing their top run-stopper Pierce. Denver's Matt Prater is a good fantasy kicker due to his big, albeit erratic, leg. The Broncos defense is no longer a reliable play.
The Broncos have lost their luster in a major way over the past month, and nothing the team did in that blowout loss to the Chargers would suggest they're on the cusp of regaining their past fortunes. Still, apart from a bad loss at Washington which was aided in large part by an unforeseen quarterback switch, there's been no shame in any of the Broncos' defeats, and a matchup against a Giants team that has likewise been confounding, and will be making a long, difficult trip on a short week, is a good one for Denver. Look for the Broncos to establish Moreno and Buckhalter against a New York defense riddled by injuries, for a talented Broncos secondary to cause some problems for Manning and the secondary, and for McDaniels and company to put its slide to rest.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Broncos 20, Giants 16

These days, dancing isn't just for the dancers. It's taken over TV shows and exercise crazes, entered into the curriculums of public schools and has been used as movement therapy for the elderly. But the one place you wouldn't expect to see dance is in corporate America.
However, research in this month's edition of the Journal of Work Organisation and Emotion suggests that CEOs in suits could benefit from a little creative movement. A team at the University of Eastern Finland asked a group of managers to "dance their feelings" and videotaped the sessions in order to reveal some of the emotional interactions of management. So why not just use a questionnaire or interview to ask the managers how they feel? Since business traditionally deals with rational and cognitive issues—experiences that don't usually involve the body or emotions—the team thought that by engaging managers' whole bodies, they might be able to glean new information about the more abstract qualities of the job, specifically employee interaction.
Although it's not that probable that VPs would clamor at the chance to have a midday dance break, I at least applaud the team for recognizing the indisputable knowledge of our bodies, our physical problem solvers. When participants danced, they were able to identify previously unconscious thoughts about their work life. Plus, they reported that dancing had therapeutic effects. And a less stressed boss means a happier workplace for everyone.

Saginaw boy attacked by pit bull while riding bike
Staff writer Ehsan Azad reports:
A Saginaw boy was hospitalized after he was mauled by a pit bull while riding his bike Wednesday afternoon.
According to witnesses, the boy was riding his bike near Opal Street and Mustang Drive around 4:30 p.m. when the dog attacked him in front of its owner's home, according to an animal control official. A man helped the boy by beating the dog with the boy's bike.
After the attack, the boy was bleeding from his face and arms, and blood was on the grass nearby, other witnesses said. The boy remains in the hospital, and his condition is unknown.
Saginaw Animal Control has seized the dog and put it under 10-day quarantine, animal control supervisor Kevin McMillin said. Officials plan to seek a warrant to take possession of the animal and then set up a hearing to classify it as a dangerous animal.
Animal control is still investigating the attack, and authorities will talk to the boy's parents Thursday.

Despite a growing number of consumers identifying themselves as healthy snackers, sales of more traditional snack foods — potato chips, corn chips and cheesy snacks — continue to flourish.
Since their introduction a few years ago, Clif Bar & Co.'s Shot Bloks have been among the best-selling nutrition bars in the specialty store segment.
Alexa Health Products' FruitChia bars have garnered a great deal of attention over the past year. Made with only two ingredients — fruit and chia seeds — the naturally sweetened, gluten-free bars provide a mixture of antioxidants, dietary fiber, and omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids.
While public health officials and the media continue to trumpet how many Americans' eating habits can adversely affect their health, consumers do not yet seem ready to swear off traditional snack foods in favor of more healthy options.
As health care in the United States continues to move toward a patient-centric system, new opportunities are opening up for technology providers.
Despite a rocky start, the full rollout of health reform under the Affordable Care Act has already brought major benefits to the nation's troubled health system and affordable coverage to millions of formerly uninsured or underinsured Americans, one of the Obama administration's top health officials asserted recently.
Growth of ready-to-drink tea may have slowed, but industry experts say the segment still has room to grow as consumers increasingly turn to tea as a healthy alternative.
The bath and body segment has benefited from near universal usage as consumers use these products in their daily personal hygiene routine.
Benefiting from a heightened focus on healthier, youthful-looking skin and a flawless complexion, sales within the facial cleanser segment are on the upswing.
When it comes to skin care, facial anti-aging potions still reign, as women continue their quest for younger, healthier looking skin.

Hello a client of mine bought a pretty bad web host and i don't even have ssh access, their ticket suport only answered with "yes we support python in our servers" but i can't run any .cgi .py or application.wsgi files. is there a sure way to tell if the server supports python? I only have access to the ftp and the directadmin interface, i would like to know more before i can complaing again to their support system otherwise they will not pay attention.
The host is neubox.net this is what i already tried. This tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/embedding-python-in-apache2-with-mod_python-debian-etch worked on my dev machine, it says that i need to add a webhost in the apache2 /available-sites dir but obviously i don't have access to that folder in the hosting. I also tried putting this script on the root of my host, called application.wsgi it didnt work
import os
import sys
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
I also tried this file application.py on the root
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
# enable debugging
import cgitb
print "Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8"
print "Hello World!"
Those files were shown as plain text, i tried that exact same code but named application.cgi and oddly enough it returned a 404 error, the file of course its there. I saw at the directadmin interface in site summary that CGI-Bin OFF So i guess thats the reason for the 404. In the same page i see that the name servers are http://ns115.neubox.net/ http://ns116.neubox.net The first one says Apache is functioning normally This is their services comparison site (spanish) http://neubox.net/comparativo-hosting.php
I wish i could know what OS are they running i'm almost sure is linux because on my root there is a folder .htpasswd and those .folders are linux for hidden, but i'm not sure if thats a sure way to tell.
They gave me this url http://184.108.40.206/info.php its for phpinfo() i see fast-cgi but all the tuts about it talk about doing things like changing Apache configuration wich i obviously can't do, this is the end of my search right? they do not support python.

staghorn fern care
I was given a staghorn fern mounted on a piece of wood..no instructions for care were included..it will hang on a wall with lots of indirect light..how do you feed it and how much water???
it's really a nice plant and I want it to live!!
I have an elkhorn and I would think they take similar conditions. I water twice a week with rain water. I soak it in a tupperware dish and use a turkey injecter to get water into the spag. Fertilize with fish emulsion every 3 months. I'm no expert, but mine is thriving.
I've had mine several years. I soak it up to its 'neck' in a bucket of tepid water overnight, then hang over the bucket to drain for half a day or so before re-hanging in its spot, which is on the greenhouse wall in very bright indirect light. A couple of times a month I add Miracid and Superthrive to the water.
Bananas! My Mother, in San Diego, has a gigantic staghorn and the only thing she feeds it is bananas! It got so large and heavy that it started to take down the wooden patio cover it was attached to!
I live in New Jersey and have a couple of it's babies. Any suggestions on indoor watering would be appreciated. Elvis's watering method sounds good but my little ones are so large that they are difficult to move around.
My staghorn has gotten horrible black spots on it and when I went online to find out why, I found that I was overwatering. University of Florida website says to water only when the plant starts to wilt. It supposedly will recover immediately but if you overwater it will rot and die. Mine did wonderful when I left it outside ( neglected ) all summer but I brought it inside before we got a little cold weather and that's when the problems began. I 'assumed' it was drying out too much with the heat on, but now I think I was overwatering it, making the matter worse. I'm now hoping for the best... sr
Here is the link to University of Florida that I thought was very helpful. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/MG015
Here is a link that might be useful: University of FL/staghorn
kands52, the horrible block spots may not be from overwatering. Typical overwatering problems are a fairly sudden rot and complete collapse of the plant. Black spots can be caused by sunburn, freeze, physical damage etc. Also, if the stag is grown under an oak tree there is a black spot that may occur. The "Oak Tree Black Spot" was first discribed by a nurseryman near Mobile Alabama. The exact cause is unknown, but clearly not from one of the above mentioned causes. It is presumed to be a type of burn caused by the acid in the oak leaves.
Stags are extreemly easy and they say the bannana peel was a myth but it's nice to keep things out of the landfill. So it will just mulch down. You really don't have to do much. Here in florida they pretty much get watered when it rains unless it is extreemly dry. My family and I have plants my mom has many the size of volkwagons. My dad liked to mount them on metal egg crates you fill the inside with lawn clipping leaves from the yard whatever and wire on pups to the outside. Then attaché heavy chains and hang on a very strong branch. I have had to use plastic crates and one day will need to upgrade the chain to heavier one and go across the bottom of the plant. They will get cold damage if it goes below freezing too long and it will get sun burned. If your fetilizing other things you can give it some even lawn fertilizer. Just throw it in the top. They are very cool.
I accidentally left my staghorn fern in the blazing hot sun for 2 1/2 days after watering. The round infertile fronds were burned and the fern was partially submerged in water. The fern also has black spots on one of the fertile fronds tip. The fern is a baby only a couple years old and I was just about to mount it before this neglect happened, so I have two questions.
Question #1 Can I save this beautiful fern?
Question #2 If it can be saved,How long should I wait for the fern to recover(Signs and symptoms?)before I should complete the mounting process?
Any and all that are interested in an expert presentation/demonstration on growing all species of staghorn (Platycerium) should consider attending the meeting, this Sunday, of the Texas Gulf Coast Fern Society (TGCFS) in Houston. www.tgcfernsoc.org/Newsletters
Above link to the newsletter
Barbara Hoshizaki will be the guest lecturer. The primary topic will be identification. Many species and cultivars will be available for inspection. And of course there will also be much discussion on culture of various species. I'll provide a couple for the raffle as may others.

Gaydar Goes Half App'd
By Charles Alexander
Originally printed 11/15/2012 (Issue 2046 - Between The Lines News)
Parting Glances
I've been told by a high techie source - but perhaps it's just wishful thinking "queersay" - that there's a new app on the market called Gaytection.
Its purpose is to determine at a glance just who might be gay. Correction. Who is gay.
(For some reason of digital failure at manipulation of internal incorporated judgmental criteria, the app does not work in the detection of dykes. I'm told that Gaytection app developers feel that it's not necessary to determine what, to them, is already perceived as obvious.)
Interestingly enough, Gaytection is a big hit with straights who, now that gays have seemingly made such great equality strides, feel its most politically correct and unhesitatingly expedient to tell at a glance who's queer, who's not, who's just pretending.
I don't plan to purchase or - if you'll pardon the expression - download the app. I've been using my God-given gaydar for so long now that I can tell who's gay in a nanosecond, and have received many straight requests to perform this service free of charge in the interest of ecumenical and spiritual considerations (say, to answer questions like, "Is our choir director a fag? Is father so-and-so really celibate?")
Of course what happens whenever social assimilation occurs is that the majority wants in on the action of what's perceived as an up and coming enviable popularity plus on the part of the heretofore marginalized minority. (NOTE: I have a B.A. minor in sociology.)
According to a recent article in Psychology Today ("Gaydar: The Dorian Gray Effect"), fancied cellphone sensors like Gaytection are not necessary. Apparently, straights are now tapping into their own media-acquired gaydar to determine who is and who isn't gay. Safe bet: Adam Lambert. Another: Jim Parsons.
As reported by PT, two psychologists, Nalini Ambady, Tufts University, and Nicholas Rule, University of Toronto, have teamed up to do research on just how much is revealed by ones facial expressions.
Their finding for LGBTs: "The more motivated you are to know someone's orientation, the better your intuition. People who have the sharpest gaydar are gay men and lesbians, naturally, and" - cocktail party tidbit - "ovulating women."
PT continues, "Subjects identify lesbians accurately between 64 and 70 percent of the time; gay men are correctly identified with slightly less reliability in the 60 to 65 percent range."
Tested subjects are shown pictures of gays, lesbians, straights to guess who is homosexual and who isn't. Those who respond with a spontaneous gut reaction are more frequently on the mark, in contrast to those who hesitate in forming a judgment.
So called straight-acquired gaydar doesn't work in certain instances, instances that are often confusing for gays and lesbians as well. "Metrosexuals trigger false alarms; lesbian femmes and gay Marlboro men often ride under the gaydar."
As for judging a book by its cover, Ambady and Rule conclude, "Stereotypically, gay men are more emotionally expressive than straight guys, adopting more female-typical facial movements, and some lesbians may express themselves more like straight men."
Given all the celebs now jumping on the rainbow bandwagon, the simplest thing to do socially is just ask, "What took you so long, Mary?"firstname.lastname@example.com

Former BBC Host Jimmy Savile Helped Invite Guests to Royal Party (Report)
LONDON – Late BBC host Jimmy Savile helped organize royal functions and draw up guest lists on behalf of Prince Charles, according to a British media report.
The former Top of the Pops presenter invited TV producers involved in an ITV telethon in 1988 to a cocktail party at the royal's central London residence Kensington Palace, according to a report in The Guardian. While Savile himself had not been involved with the telethon, of which Prince Charles was the host, and did not attend the party, he called around to issue invites.
In recent weeks, a group of people have come out and alleged that Savile sexually abused young girls when he was a BBC star.
The Guardian report didn't suggest that Prince Charles knew anything about such allegations, but it did add the royals to the widening group of people whose interactions with the late broadcaster have been discussed in recent weeks.
Paul Laing, former director of programs at Television South West, told the Guardian that he took one of Savile's calls about the event at the palace. Laing said several of his colleagues were also contacted, and some thought it was "weird" that Savile was involved in organizing a royal event.
"He was phoning to invite the producers, one from each station, to go to a cocktail party in Kensington Palace," Laing said. "He said he was phoning from the prince's office on behalf of Prince Charles. He said he had been asked to organize a get-together."
A spokesman for the royals and Prince Charles confirmed Savile's role. But he noted there was nothing unusual about Savile's help in organizing a royal party. "When the prince is patron of an event, we often ask people prominent within the relevant industry (in this case, television) to help us organize a reception to thank those who helped make the event such a success," the spokesman said.

connecting threads, Essential Thread
I have a Bernina which I find fussy to different threads. Does any one use Essential Threads by Connecting Threads? Do you like it and do you find you need to adjust tension?
I think that many of the quilters here have tried this thread and really like it. We've discussed it before and no, I do not find I have to adjust the tension. I'm not sewing on a Bernina, so maybe someone else will chime in with their experience.
I don't use Connecting Thread but I have had Bernina machines for 30 yrs. and that was a feature I love...can put any kind of thread on it. Only have to do minor adjustment if top & bottom are different. Dust and lint can build up in the tension discs. I know this isn't answering your question.
Connecting threads is having a good sale on their thread right now. I haven't used it but I think I will order some. I haven't found my Pfaff to be particular about what thread I use. I do have to do a little more cleaning with cheap thread, but I've always tried to brush it out well every time I change a bobbin.
I'm a professional quilter and use many different brands of thread, usually depending on which brand has the color that I need. It's normal to have to adjust tension when you change thread brands. I have used Essentials and it's one of my favorites--probably the best quality for the money out there right now.
I use it and I think it is excellent FOR THE PRICE. I didn't have tension problems, (I don't think) but I did have it keep breaking if I used universal needles for piecing. Had to switch to quilting or sharps needles.
Since discovering connecting threads I also found long creek mills which has the best price I've ever encountered and their cotton thread is STRONG and seems virtually lint free -- but the colors are very limited.
Here is a link that might be useful: look at the QUILTING THREAD on this page
I use this thread exclusively since buying some about two years ago. I think I have all the sets now. The only time I don't use it is when I run out of a color like white or off-white and I have to go to a local store and pick up some C&C. Oh, and I don't have a Bernina.
I just ordered some of their fabric a few weeks ago and it is gorgeous! The price is nice too.
Thanks and it sounds like we have mixed reviews. I have a Bernina 230PE and I find it fussy. I only use Guiterman thread which is very expensive. I was told not to use CC thread in it. Occasionally I use Mettler but I find it breaks and leaves a lot of lint. I'm aware of the sale on Essential Thread so maybe I'll try some.
Machines do have their own personalities. One thing that some modern machines can be fussy about is the direction of the thread twist. An easy fix sometimes is just to flip the spool upside down and see if it solves the breakage problem. Another thing--this might not pertain since I'm not at all up on modern machines--but with my vintage machines, I do have to feed long yardage spools and cones off a thread stand, they don't work well if the spool/cone has to spin to release the thread. The thread has a tendency to drop to the bottom of the spool and wrap itself around the vertical spool pin. This shouldn't be a problem with horizontal pins, though.
The topic of thread is pretty interesting to me as a custom quilter. I've found that with my pre-1965 machines, I can use just about anything: dual duty, C&C Star, Connecting Threads, rayon, glazed hand quilting thread (a HUGE no-no in modern machines), nylon, Guttermans, Mettler, YLI, silk--it makes no difference whatsoever, other than that I will have to adjust the tension for different sizes of thread. I always use 100% cotton in the bobbin (usually C&C Star 'cuz it's cheapest and I always have lots on hand). I haven't tried metallics as I've had no call for them, but I'd like to try just to see how my old girls react to it.

Aliquippa water main break disrupts service in Beaver County
The Aliquippa Water Authority brought in a contractor Sunday to help fix a broken water main in Aliquippa that disrupted water service there, in Raccoon and Potter and parts of Hopewell.
The break occurred on Tyler Street, and the Aliquippa Water Authority had to shut water off to drain lines to address the problem, said plant operator Don Anderson. He said he did not know the cause of the break, how many people are affected or how long it will take to fix it.
Stefanik Industries, based in Center in Beaver County, is helping address the problem.

UniCredit increases loan writedowns, sells Kazakh unit
MILAN, March 15 (Reuters) – UniCredit, Italy's
largest bank by assets, set aside nearly 10 billion euros ($13
billion) to cover bad loans in 2012 and said the country's
longest recession in 20 years would continue to hit earnings
this year.
The bank also announced that it is selling its Kazakh unit
ATF Bank and will review its business targets through
to 2015 in light of the "exceptionally difficult" economic
Intesa blames Hungary "nightmare" for fourth-quarter loss
MILAN, March 12 (Reuters) – Italy's Intesa Sanpaolo
said it could cut its presence in Hungary after losses there
pushed it into the red in the last quarter, calling the eastern
European country a "nightmare" for the banking industry.
Italy's biggest retail lender said its CIB unit, Hungary's
fifth-biggest bank, made a net loss of 279 million euros ($363
million) in the fourth quarter of 2012, almost entirely because
of higher provisions to cover bad debts.
Nomura to take Monte Paschi dispute to London-source
MILAN, March 11 (Reuters) – Japanese bank Nomura is
seeking to establish British jurisdiction for its dispute with
Monte dei Paschi di Siena over risky derivatives
trades, a source close to the matter said on Monday.
Nomura began proceedings in one of Britain's top court on
March 1, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. On
the same day Italy's scandal-hit Monte dei Paschi filed a
damages claim in a Florence court against Nomura, as well as
Deutsche Bank and two former executives of Monte dei
SPECIAL REPORT: Downfall of the world's oldest bank
SIENA (Reuters) – The fax marked 'confidential' gave the chairman clear advice: the questions he would field and, most important of all, the answers he would need.
Written in English by Gian Luca Baldassarri, then head of finance at Italian bank Monte dei Paschi, the July 7, 2009 fax told Giuseppe Mussari, the lender's chairman at the time, what he should say in a conference call with bankers from Japan's Nomura later that day.

Autopsy points to Monte Paschi spokesman suicide: source
SIENA, Italy (Reuters) – An autopsy on the spokesman for scandal-hit Italian bank Monte Paschi di Siena showed injuries consistent with the theory he killed himself, a judicial source said on Friday.
David Rossi's body was found on Wednesday lying beneath the open window of his third floor office in the bank's headquarters, a restored 14th century fortress. An autopsy was carried out on Thursday at the request of his family.
Banco Popolare clean-up lifts shares despite wider loss
MILAN, March 5 (Reuters) – Shares in Italy's Banco Popolare
rose slightly on Tuesday as the market welcomed an
increase in loan loss provisions as a clean-up of its balance
Banco Popolare, Italy's fourth-largest bank by number of
branches, warned late on Monday it expected a net loss for 2012
of around 330 million euros ($429 million) after it raised
provisions on non-performing loans in the fourth quarter to 650
million euros.
Messy election outcome to weigh on Italian markets
MILAN, Feb 26 (Reuters) – Italian bonds and shares were set
to fall on Tuesday as a messy election result fuelled fears of a
hung parliament and an ungovernable country.
A huge protest vote on Monday by Italians enraged by
economic hardship and political corruption pushed the country
towards deadlock, with no coalition likely to be strong enough
to form a government.
Consumer group says Monte Paschi may face more losses
MILAN/ROME, Feb 20 (Reuters) – Monte dei Paschi
could face an extra loss of up to 1.5 billion euros ($2 billion)
because of the way it accounted for derivatives trades,
according to a leading consumer group challenging the bank's
state bailout.
The derivatives trades, carried out from 2008-09, are at the
centre of an investigation into alleged fraud and corruption at
the world's oldest bank. The scandal has triggered a political
storm ahead of an election on Feb. 24-25 because of the lender's
close ties to the centre-left Democratic party (PD).
Insight – Monte Paschi hiked Antonveneta bid to see off BNP
MILAN/LONDON (Reuters) – Monte dei Paschi pumped up its bid for Antonveneta to trump a rival offer from France's BNP Paribas, paving the way for an eventual state bailout of the world's oldest bank and a political furor in Italy over its finances.
The new disclosure comes in a report by Italy's financial police and is based on statements from an adviser to the seller, Spain's Santander. Reviewed by Reuters, the document reveals for the first time why Monte dei Paschi may have offered such a high bid for its smaller Padua-based rival and why it did not conduct any due diligence before agreeing the deal.

Good handling, fantastic engine, good looking vehicle, versatility a drivers car.
could be more fuel efficient.
Great Drivers Car — It Is a solid driver's car, very communicative and predictable at the limit. Very well balanced and forgiving with an intoxicating engine sound. Extremely reliable. Brakes could be improved by changing to aftermarket pads such as EBC yellow or similar compound brands.

Everything Is pretty much awesome about this car.
Only complaints are how much oil changes are!
Best Car Ever — You'll have a blast driving a convertible BMW M3, there is really no experience like having the top down and rocketing down your favorite twisty road. Everything from fit and finish to the mechanical parts is just uber engineered and amazing.

Handles well for its size...
Not really a sports car, not really a luxury car...
Trying Too Hard To Be Everything To Everyone... — I owned my M3 Convertible for just about a year... I had heard from a lot of people how great the M series BMWs were, but I just couldn't agree... I think a lot of people are in love with the name, but in reality it isn't that great of a car... It is stuck between two worlds trying to be a luxury car and a sports car, so to me it doesn't do either one so well... I enjoyed it for the year I had it, but always felt something was missing... it was stiff in an attempt to be a sports car, so wasn't a comfortable daily driver... on the flip side, being larger adn trying to also be a luxury car, it wasn't stiif enough or powerful enough to be what I would concider a strong sports car...

M3 Purrs — Has legendary and spot on handling and blistering performance, its really a wolf in sheeps clothing and makes a good everyday comfort driver at the press of a few buttons. I have Dinan stage 1 ECU software and an AFE Mach 1 cat back exhaust which places it in the 445HP range 300+ ft lb. Will be keeping this vehicle for some time to come..

Power, sound and style are awesome.
Logic7 Enhanced Premium Sound cuts the bass as you go faster or turn up the stereo. The DSP Processing in the head unit and MOST fiber network makes adding additional amplifier not as effective, as if raw analog source could be tapped into.
The Bmw M3 Lives Up To The Ultimate Driving Machine Reputation. — The car looks, drives, and handles great. You would think that for the pricetag, that a factory alarm would be standard; however, it is not. No complaints about the driving or handling of the car, but the technology integration could be a bit better. I am not a fan of the Logic7 fiber network, and the limitations it imposes on customizing the sound system.

It's an M3, so pretty much everything. Handing is best in class. Power is awesome. Ride is terrific. The sound of the engine at 8400 rpm is amazing.
I'd have to say that the electronic accessories (such as the iPod interface) is not as good as it could be, and the keyless ignition is nothing more than an annoying gimmick. Also, the two cup holders are terrible.
Simply The Greatest Value In High Performance Motoring — This is my second M3. My love for this car just keeps growing. It is a fabulous car both as a commuter and as a track car. It has two distinctly different personalities. On the street it can simply be a 3-series with extra torque. But on the track, above 6,000 rpm it morphs into a shrieking V8 with grip that has no end. What's so amazing to me is that everything that competes with the M3, including the 911SC, the F430 and the GTR all retail for close to DOUBLE the cost of a new M3. What a deal.

Performance, Drivability, Comfort, Design.
Reliability, Transmission.
2008 Bmw E92 M3 — The 2008 E92 BMW M3 is an amazing car, in which I can't really describe in this small square with the amount of time I currently have. It performs marvelously, is comfortable to drive, and is fantastic for both daily and spirited aggressive use. The M Dynamic function works like a magician to give you that balance of slide versus grip, and the power and torque come on quickly and steadily. The only qualm I have about this car is quality: the engine has already broken once (there is a TSB for this) and the manual transmission has a intermittent grinding issue, present in an estimated 5% of these cars, which BMW flat out refuses to acknowledge, for fear of losing money. The DCT also has a few issues as well, although there is currently a fix for it available.
