"Certain people in the news the last couple weeks, just, what are they doing? It's crazy. They're making statements about people that they don't even back up. Go get the facts before you start saying things about people - and Trump." -- Robert De Niro, seemingly talking about birther idiots Link Send e-mail to Bart GOP
finds angry town halls
"Hands of my Medicare" is the cry Link Freshman Rep. Daniel Webster was armed with a rainbow of graphs and pie charts, ready to make the GOP's case for budget cuts before his own constituents. He was barely a minute into his prepared remarks Tuesday when the yelling started. The first heckler shouted his doubts about the Florida congressman's promise to do what is right in Washington. From there, the hour-long meeting in Orlando was filled with a constant stream of boos and questioners in the crowd of 300 shouting over each other. Twelve minutes into his remarks, Webster couldn't be heard over the shouting on both sides. He tried to continue but then stood quietly for a minute smiling, his hands clasped together in front. They deserve every bit of this. They cultivated this "scream at your Rep" style of democracy two summers ago and now their monster is turning on them and it couldn't be funnier to watch.

"It's laughable how the Obama lapdog media are already discussing that the GOP has no front-runner in the 2012 presidential race even though the election is more than 18 months away. The purpose of this spin, of course, is to try to convince Americans that the GOP is rudderless and that the country will be better off with Mr. Obama for four more years." -- Ted Nugent, the Teabagging, guitar playing handjob, Link "I love FOX News!"

Bath & Body Works Fall 2011 Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Soaps
Somehow, someway Bath and Body Works has brainwashed me into the need to change my hand soap with each season. Seriously, sometimes it's really high maintenance game time being a beauty junkie.
Do we really need to change hand soaps with the seasons? I say nay but my obsessive compulsive beauty nature demands I do it anyway. How diseased.
Well, if you're like me you'll want to start picking up some Fall hand soaps for your bathroom and kitchen sinks and Bath & Body Works has several new ones to choose from.
Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap Cranapple Crisp
Lightly scented with a sweet blend of juicy cranberries, red macintosh apples and maple sugar.
Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap Pumpkin Caramel Latte
Lightly scented with a delicious blend of cinnamon pumpkin, spiced caramel and vanilla cream.
Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin
Lightly scented with a spicy blend of fresh pumpkin, brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap Cinnamon Raisin Cookie
Lightly scented with an addictive blend of baked oatmeal, plump raisins, brown butter and cinnamon.
Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap Caramel Apple
Lightly scented with a mouthwatering blend of golden apple and creamy caramel.
There are also two other scents I didn't pick up which were Creamy Pumpkin Orchard Leaves. Is it me or are they getting really eleobrate with these hand soaps lately? Cinnamon Raisin Cookie? Whoa!
If they start doing tarts, we can just camp out at our local stores…move our bed in, maybe a mini fridge, heck they already have running water so we are set there.
These are available now at your local Bath & Body Works Store or online at www.bathandbodyworks.com
Tried 'em?
Love 'em?
Leave 'em?
Do share!
This product was purchased by the Muse for review purposes.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
8/16/11 12:49 Marilyn @ Lipgloss and Spandex:
We go through enough handsoap that I don't feel guilty about seasonal soaps 😉 And my boyfriend looooooves cinnamon-type food scents, so I think I'll probably be picking up a few of these when they come out.
8/16/11 12:49 the Muse:
Marylin same here, I run through hand soap super quickly…where does it all go!? ;-D They are out already in stores ;-D I picked them at my local shop!
8/16/11 14:37 kimkats:
Mmmmmm…. the caramel apple one sounds numlicious!! May have to score a couple of these – have you heard anything about the deep cleansing anti-bac soaps yet? I keep those by the kitchen sink and go thru 'em almost as fast as the water!
dang, that caramel apple soap even *looks* like a bottle full of caramel… (gurgle…nomnomnom… BLARGH!!) ;D got a case of the sillies for some reason!
8/16/11 14:43 the Muse:
lol kat ;-D they really do smell nom! these come in deep cleansing, gel, and foam
8/16/11 14:46 kimkats:
OMG!!! Thanks Muse – Excellent!! Now…where did I put that dam coupon????………… It's not like I don't have 20 bottles of soap waiting to be used (hmph – a mere 18, at last count) but not many fall scented ones. There – that justifies it, doesn't it??
8/19/11 10:01 the Muse:
lol kim tell me about it, 20 or more bottles, story of my LIFE!
8/16/11 15:22 Amy:
I got theme all. And the matching pocket sanitizers as well. Fall and Christmas are when all the smells and colors I like come out, so I stock up for the rest of the year.
8/16/11 16:47 Mara:

8/16/11 16:55 the Muse:
😉 Mara!
8/16/11 17:34 Tigress:
Fall scents are my favorite, so I'm stoked about these new scents. They also have one called Orchard Leaves that I'm excited about. Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin is pretty much a staple for me around fall/winter!
8/16/11 18:43 Courtney:
This makes me hungry! lol
8/17/11 6:15 Lauren S.:
If they made tarts, I might convert from Yankee….maybe. I'm afraid I'd guzzle this stuff though.
8/19/11 9:36 the Muse:

8/17/11 13:24 Kelsey:
I picked up five in three of the scents – Caramel Apple, Cinnamon Raisin Cookie x2, and Sweet Pumpkin x2 (my FAVE <3). I also got wallflowers and the mini candles (more Sweet Pumpkin lol). It smells so delicious! I definitely am stocking up on more of these scents before the season's over.
8/17/11 13:46 the Muse:

8/18/11 11:51 Jen:
I bought them all last weekend during the 7 for $20 sale! Score! They all smell wonderful…and with 2 little boys who "need" to use at least 5 pumps to wash their hands I go through soap quickly enough to keep up with the seasonal scents. (:
8/18/11 12:04 the Muse:
yay jen!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-D! ahh little ones (particularly boys) need alot of hand washing!
10/15/11 14:14 Megan:
I feel ridiculous, but I can't get mine open. How do I open the top? I keep twisting and twisting and nothing is happening! Help!?
12/28/12 18:27 Lib:
Can't open mine either! How?
8/9/13 15:12 Rob:
How in the hell do you open the things. I bought $50 worth and can't open half of them.

In a nation whose debt has outgrown the size of its entire economy, the greatest threat comes not from any foreign force but from Washington politicians who refuse to relinquish the intoxicating power to borrow and spend. U.S. Senator Tom Coburn reveals the fascinating, maddening story of how we got to this point of fiscal crisis – and how we can escape.
Even after several so-called "change" elections, the government has continued its wasteful ways in the face of imminent danger. In The Debt Bomb, Senator Coburn challenges the conventional wisdom that blames lobbyists, gridlock, and obstructionism, and places the responsibility squarely where it belongs: on members of Congress in both parties who won't let go of the perks of power to serve the true interests of the nation – unless enough citizens take bold steps to demand action.
Today, our nation stands on the precipice of financial ruin, a disaster far more dangerous to our safety than any terrorist threats we face. Senator Coburn believes that the United States can continue as a beacon of opportunity for future generations – but how we act today will determine whether we deliver the nation to our children and grandchildren fully alive, on life support, or without a pulse.

Decline in 17th-century England
From Shakespeare's tragedies to the closing of the theatres in England by the Puritans in 1642, the quality of tragedy is steadily worse, if the best of the Greek and Shakespearean tragedies are taken as a standard. Among the leading dramatists of the period—John Webster, Thomas Middleton, Francis Beaumont, John Fletcher, Cyril Tourneur, and John Ford—there were some excellent craftsmen and brilliant poets. Though each of them has a rightful place in the history of English drama, tragedy suffered a transmutation in their hands.
The Jacobean dramatists—those who flourished in England during the reign of James I—failed to transcend the negative tendencies they inherited from Elizabethan tragedy: a sense of defeat, a mood of spiritual despair implicit in Marlowe's tragic thought; in the nihilistic broodings of some of Shakespeare's characters in their worst moods—Hamlet, Gloucester in Lear, Macbeth; in the metaphoric implication of the theme of insanity, of man pressed beyond the limit of endurance, that runs through many of these tragedies; most importantly, perhaps, in the moral confusion ("fair is foul and foul is fair") that threatens to unbalance even the staunchest of Shakespeare's tragic heroes. This sinister tendency came to a climax about 1605 and was in part a consequence of the anxiety surrounding the death of Queen Elizabeth I and the accession of James I. Despite their negative tendencies, the Elizabethans, in general, had affirmed life and celebrated it; Shakespeare's moral balance, throughout even his darkest plays, remained firm. The Jacobeans, on the other hand, were possessed by death. They became superb analysts of moral confusion and of the darkened vision of humanity at cross purposes, preying upon itself; of lust, hate, and intrigue engulfing what is left of beauty, love, and integrity. There is little that is redemptive or that suggests, as had Aeschylus, that evil might be resolved by the enlightenment gained from suffering. As in the tragedies of Euripides, the protagonist's margin of freedom grows ever smaller. "You are the deed's creature," cries a murderer to his unwitting lady accomplice in Middleton's Changeling (1622), and a prisoner of her deed she remains. Many of the plays maintained a pose of ironic, detached reportage, without the sense of sympathetic involvement that the greatest tragedians have conveyed from the beginning.
Some of the qualities of the highest tragedians have been claimed for John Webster. One critic points to his search for a moral order as a link to Shakespeare and sees in his moral vision a basis for renewal. Webster's Duchess of Malfi (c. 1612–13) has been interpreted as a final triumph of life over death. Overwhelmed by final unleashed terror, the Duchess affirms the essential dignity of man. Despite such vestiges of greatness, however, the trend of tragedy was downward. High moral sensitivity and steady conviction are required to resist the temptation to resolve the intolerable tensions of tragedy into either the comfort of optimism or the relaxed apathy of despair. Periods of the creation of high tragedy are therefore few and short-lived. The demands on artist and audience alike are very great. Forms wear out, and public taste seems destined to go through inevitable cycles of health and disease. What is to one generation powerful and persuasive rhetoric becomes bombast and bathos to the next. The inevitable materials of tragedy—violence, madness, hate, and lust—soon lose their symbolic role and become perverted to the uses of melodrama and sensationalism, mixed, for relief, with the broadest comedy or farce.
These corruptions had gone too far when John Milton, 29 years after the closing of the theatres, attempted to bring back the true spirit and tone of tragedy, which he called "the gravest, moralest, and most profitable of all other Poems." His Samson Agonistes (1671), however, is magnificent "closet tragedy"—drama more suitable for reading than for popular performance. Modeled on the Prometheus, it recalls Aeschylus's tragedy both in its form, in which the immobilized hero receives a sequence of visitors, and in its theme, in which there is a resurgence of the hero's spirit under stress. With Restoration comedy in full swing, however, and with the "heroic play" (an overly moralized version of tragedy) about to reach its crowning achievement in John Dryden's All for Love only seven years later (published 1678), Samson Agonistes was an anachronism.
Corneille and Racine
Another attempt to bring back the ancient form had been going on for some time across the English Channel, in France. The French Classical tragedy, whose monuments are Pierre Corneille's Cid (1637) and Jean Racine's Bérénice (1670) and Phèdre (1677), made no attempt to be popular in the way of the Elizabethan theatre. The plays were written by and for intellectual aristocrats, who came together in an elite theatre, patronized by royalty and nobility. Gone were the bustle and pageantry of the Elizabethan tragedies, with their admixtures of whatever modes and moods the dramatists thought would work. The French playwrights submitted themselves to the severe discipline they derived from the Greek models and especially the "rules," as they interpreted them, laid down by Aristotle. The unities of place, time, and action were strictly observed.
One theme, the conflict between Passion and Reason, was uppermost. The path of Reason was the path of Duty and Obligation (noblesse oblige), and that path had been clearly plotted by moralists and philosophers, both ancient and modern. In this sense there was nothing exploratory in the French tragedy; existing moral and spiritual norms were insisted upon. The norms are never criticized or tested as Aeschylus challenged the Olympians or as Marlowe presented, with startling sympathy, the Renaissance overreacher. Corneille's Cid shows Duty triumphant over Passion, and, as a reward, hero and heroine are happily united.
By the time of Phèdre, Corneille's proud affirmation of the power of the will and the reason over passion had given way to what Racine called "stately sorrow," with which he asks the audience to contemplate Phèdre's heroic, but losing, moral struggle. Her passion for her stepson, Hippolyte, bears her down relentlessly. Her fine principles and heroic will are of no avail. Both she and Hippolyte are destroyed. The action is limited to one terrible day; there is no change of scene; there is neither comic digression nor relief—the focus on the process by which a great nature goes down is sharp and intense. Such is the power of Racine's poetry (it is untranslatable), his conception of character, and his penetrating analysis of it, that it suggests the presence of Sophoclean "heroic humanism." In this sense it could be said that Racine tested the norms, that he uncovered a cruel injustice in the nature of a code that could destroy such a person as Phèdre. Once again, here is a world of tragic ambiguity, in which no precept or prescription can answer complicated human questions.

What's New
New For Employers – My Contractors Hub
Last week we released a new navigation scheme and shared with you our plans for creating a new platform that promises to personalize your oDesk experience and deliver more successful online work relationships. The initial step in these plans is to create more useful and tailored applications for our users. The first of these, announced last week, is oDesk Recruit which combines everything employers need to find, evaluate, and connect with their next remote worker.
Today, we unveil our 2nd application for employers, oDesk's Manage My Team, which combines everything employers need to monitor work across their teams, manage their team rosters and payroll, and easily communicate and collaborate on current assignments.
This new application comes with a brand new My Contractors hub – one simple control panel to manage all your current remote work. Look for the opt-in link to this new Manage home page from your Team Room to explore this new hub and quickly and easily:
Manage Active Contractors
- See your team roster, know who is online and review the latest activity
- Quickly see the total amount worked to ensure you're on budget
- Send a message, make a payment, or edit a contract using quick links
Review Payroll
- See all weekly hours billed (to date)
- Review last week's timelog & get notified before payment is due
- Quickly access all other reports
Get Help
- Alerts tell you when a contractor started working, when to review a timelog, and when a payment is pending
- Tips and advice help you know what to do each step of they way
And, we've still got more to come in the next few weeks with our new navigation. Up next, a new application for contractors to help you grow and manage your remote work career.
We'd like to hear from you. What's working and what's not working with our new navigation and our new applications? Visit our community forum post to discuss with other users, or send us direct feedback via our survey (see the link at the top right of the My Contractors page).
A Powerful New oDesk
A little over a month ago we quietly rolled out a Beta of our new site navigation. We've received tons of great feedback and it's now time to let everyone in on our little secret.
Starting tomorrow, all active users will see the new oDesk when you log in. We are in the midst of creating a whole new platform on oDesk that allows us to deliver rich, personalized working environments. It's a new, highly tailored world on oDesk, and we think you're going to love it – now, and even more in the months to come!
To start, employers and contractors are no longer mixed together and served the same dual-purposed pages. Instead, we have built specific applications for employers and contractors to give you everything you need and nothing you don't.
Also, team members can be given role-specific permissions. As a manager of others, you can set up your team to only give access to the areas of your oDesk application that workers need to effectively do their jobs. You set who sees what, giving you a whole new level of privacy and control.
And, best of all, this is a platform we can all grow with. As employers and contractors, as teams of one and teams of hundreds, you have unique needs. Rather than a one-size fits all, or a few added features, we will be giving you powerful new applications tailored to your specific work situation.
Today we also launch our first application, oDesk Recruit – a great example of where we're going with the new platform. oDesk Recruit is designed specifically for employers and gives them everything they need to find, evaluate and connect with their next remote worker. Read more about it here.
Stay tuned for more! In the coming weeks, we'll be unveiling several more rich applications for contractors, employers, and agencies.
For details on how the new platform is organized, and what's already available, read our previous announcement.

Know what's happening on your job – an improved Work Diary
The Work Diary is a critical tool used by employers and contractors alike to understand and literally see what work is being done. Experience has shown – those who regularly review the Work Diary have fewer surprises and are happier with the work they get done.
Yesterday, we released an enhanced Work Diary making it even easier to track work being done and stay in lock step with your team.
Bigger snapshots
We know, those little snapshots are hard to view and clicking to see the full screen version takes time. Now, simply hover over a snapshot to see a larger view with additional activity information.
Clearer blocks of time
Memos now span across time segments, quickly showing you how time is being spent. All non-working time segments are left empty to make the important working hours easier to read.
Calendar with clear activity markers
Quickly see what days had time billed and know where to drill down.
Clearer time categories
Bolder formatting makes it easier to differentiate between each category of time to be reviewed. Please note, we've also simplified the terms we use for each category of time:
- Auto-tracked time (green): Logged through the oDesk Team application, containing snapshots and activity levels. Subject to the oDesk Guarantee.
- Manual time (yellow): Entered manually in the Work Diary. As always, this time in not covered by the oDesk Guarantee.
- Over Weekly Limit time (brown): Not billed. See Overtime alerts feature below.
New preferences
Choose to view window titles for more information on applications being used.
Overtime alerts
You get alerted at the top of the Work Diary if any time during the week goes over your weekly limit. Hours over the weekly limit are not billed, but employers and contractors should discuss why time went over the limit, whether a bonus is warranted for the extra hours worked, and whether a higher weekly limit is needed or hours need to be cut back.
Check out the new Work Diary today! It's a highly effective tool to see when and what work is being done, and to signal when you need to check in for an update with your team. Please visit our forum post if you have any feedback or questions.

Our New Navigation – A simpler, faster way to use oDesk.
Over the next few days, we will be rolling out a simplified navigation. The new look is simpler, less cluttered, and makes working with oDesk faster and easier than ever before.
We know you are busy building businesses and taking on challenging work from all over the world. You need a site that can keep up with you! Now you'll find that:
- The site is organized around major task areas (e.g., recruiting or managing a team for employers; finding work or managing your jobs for contractors.)
- The things you use most often are now easily accessible.
- You get instant views into new messages and notifications.
To see the new navigation for yourself, log in and look for the "New Navigation" link at the top of the page. If you don't see it right away, don't worry. To ensure everything runs smoothly, we're turning this on for all users over the next few days.
This has been in the works for many months and we want to thank all our beta users for your incredible feedback and support . With your help, we were able to quickly iterate on the design and create a new version of oDesk that is better organized, more intuitive, and really slick to use!
Please note, the new navigation is currently optional. We wanted to give you a chance to explore the new site on your own time, but we think you're going to find it an overall easier way to work on oDesk. If something about the new navigation isn't easier for you, we want to hear about it. Look for the "Share Feedback" link at the top of every page in the new navigation — we'll be using your input to iterate and continually improve the site.
You'll also see us adding new functionality and updating many other pages in the weeks and months to come – including some new landing pages that will display for each critical task area the most vital information at a glance.
Have questions? Get more details for Contractors and Employers, including FAQs and a "Where Is. . ." directory.
Have feedback? Visit our community forum post to discuss with other users, or send direct feedback via our survey (see the link at the top of every page in the new navigation).
oDesk increases security with full encrypted site
Starting today, we have enabled HTTPS across the entire oDesk site, giving our users an extra layer of security. Our logged in pages were already fully encrypted, and thus your logged in sessions have always maintained a significant level of privacy. But, as people spend more time on the Internet, many banking and e-commerce sites are adding SSL encryption across their sites – both logged in and non logged in pages – as a standard practice. We too want to ensure our users have the highest level of protections available across our entire site.
To use the new fully encrypted HTTPS wide site, just go to www.odesk.com as you normally would. We will default you to our new full HTTPS site.
For more information on HTTPS, see the "HTTP Secure" article on Wikipedia for complete details. Basically, HTTPS is a protocol that establishes a secure connection between your browser and our servers. In contrast, HTTP is unsecured and is subject to man-in-the-middle and eavesdropping attacks which can let attackers gain access to website accounts and sensitive information. HTTPS is designed to withstand such attacks and is considered secure against such attacks.
Special information for API users. All of our public APIs are currently available over HTTPS. To start using the HTTPS versions, please just update your app to use HTTPS rather than HTTP.
Special information for Internet Explorer Users (IE 7 & IE 8). We are aware of a Security Warning box that appears when you land on one of the contractor search or contractor profile pages. This is not actually a security issue and you are safe to view the oDesk pages. We have made these changes specifically to improve security. We will be fixing this issue over the next 24 to 48 hours. In the meantime we recommend using Firefox or Chrome as your browser. Or, you can disable this warning message in IE by going to the Tools menu, selecting Internet Options, and clicking the Security tab. Select Custom level, and scroll down half way to "Display mixed content" and change the button to Enable.
To share your feedback and discuss these changes with the community, please visit our forum post here.
Find the contractor you need – check out our latest enhancements!
Finding the right contractor to work on your job is job #1 on oDesk. We are continuously working to improve how easy it is for you to locate the contractor that best meets your needs. This month, we're introducing new ways to find contractors scoring in the top of their class, and returning the applicant list sorting capabilities you've asked for!
They say they have the skills. But are they top of their class?
The tests contractors take on oDesk help verify a contractor's skill level. You've always been able to see whether a contractor has taken a particular test and what they've scored. But now, we're making it super easy to target your search results to those contractors who have scored well on the tests most relevant to your job.
Now, when you search for a contractor, you can limit your search to contractors scoring in the top 10% or top 30% on any number of tests you specify. You are no longer limited to searching just one test at a time, and we will automatically suggest the top 5 tests for the category you are searching in. Simply select all the tests you feel are relevant, and whether you want to see the top 10% or top 30% of scorers. You will instantly see a list of contractors meeting your test criteria. Try it today!
Sorting is back
We heard you loud and clear: you want to be able to sort your applicants based on rates, feedback scores, hours worked, and when they applied. We've put back into place this sorting ability for your applicant list. And, we're not stopping there. We're working to give you even more control over how you review your applicant lists. For example, we're building tools to enable you to set targeted ranges of rates or feedback scores, allowing you to quickly narrow your list to your top candidates. Look for this in the next couple of months!
We'd love to hear your feedback. Please see our forum post on these topics if you'd like to discuss with the oDesk community!

Azed 1901: Jigsaw
Posted by jetdoc on November 9th, 2008
A bit of a treat this week — the most challenging Azed for a while.
For those who have not tried this kind of puzzle before, the first step in fitting the answers in the grid (or the way I do it, anyway; there may be a far more logical way to go about it, for all I know) is to look in the grid for pairs that have checking initial letters and note their lengths. In this case, we have 8/4, 4/7 and 6/8. Here, it helps considerably that one of these pairs starts in the top left-hand corner. Then experiment a bit with pairs of solutions that fit, seeing what other checking initial letters they give you and whether there are corresponding answers (even if you haven't solved all the clues yet, you can see what the possibilities are, because clues are in alphabetical order of their solutions). Once I had determined that CAPOTTED and CAUP — excellent words, both — would work at the beginning, and that I needed POSAUNE rather than PIGBOAT to check with the P of CAUP, it was pretty much plain sailing to complete the grid.
However, there are three clues — 3, 24 and 33 — which I can't fully work out. I wouldn't normally worry too much about that, as my answers have to be correct, but a blogging week demands more rigour. I have asked a couple of friends (no cheating involved — I didn't send in a solution) and they haven't cracked the wordplay either. Thanks to Richard, who has now — predictably — explained them.
Fave clue this week? I'm not sure — there are some lovely words among the solutions, but no clue really stands out from the rest. However, I predict that the Azed Slip will show 27 as the 'popular' favourite, and I want to register my disagreement, so I will go for 23.
1 | ALEW | A = the top grade; LEW = Lew Grade, the influential showbusiness impresario and television company executive. 'Alew' is a Spenserian call to attention. Note that Azed puts 'Grade' at the beginning, so it would have a capital letter even if it weren't a name. |
2 | ALFORJA | Hidden in 'meal for jaunt. An alforja is Spanish word meaning 'a saddlebag; a baboon's cheekpouch'. |
3 | ANCON | *(CAN); ON = 'on the way to being drunk', so 'inebriate'. I can't work this clue out. Ancon means, among other things, the elbow — so, if the clue were 'One's crooked can, inebriate', it would just about work as an &lit ('one's crooked' as the definition, with 'crooked' doing double duty as the anagram indicator), but the surface reading would make even less sense than it does already. |
4 | ARROGANCE | ROG = 'rogue' minus a pair of letters; A RANCE is a bar. |
5 | CAPOTTED | *(CADET); bagging POT = prize. I learn that capot is 'the winning of all the tricks by one player at the game of piquet, and scoring forty'. |
6 | CASHBACK | C = college; B = barrels; housed in A SHACK. |
7 | CAUP | CA = about (circa); UP = 'at an end' (over). A caup is a two-handled wooden drinking bowl. |
8 | CHUCKIE | Double definition — a pebble (more usually chuckie-stone or, in Scotland, chuckie-stane); and a chicken, which lays eggs. |
9 | CISLUNAR | *(RUNS CLAI) = 'runs claim' endlessly (without the M), with 'fraught' as the anagram indicator. Cislunar means 'between the moon and the earth' — the moon, presumably, being our neighbour because it's the nearest large-ish object in space. |
10 | CONTRASTY | *(START); in CONY, rabbit fur. A contrasty image would not have many grey areas. |
11 | CORALLA | OR ALL; locked in CA = cases. Plural of 'corallum', the skeleton of a coral colony. |
12 | CRISTA | *(STAIRC) — half of 'stair carpets'. A crest; a ridge or fold resembling a crest, e.g. the infolding of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. |
13 | DICAST | DI = 'I'd' reversed; AS = when; in CT = court. Dikastes were 6000 Athenians chosen annually to act as judges. |
14 | EXITANCE | 'ENCE = from 'ere; *(TAXI). The amount per unit area of light or other radiation emitted from a surface. |
15 | GENU | E = energy; in GNU. The knee (I include the link because I wonder how they unambiguously classified two of the pictures as 'male knee' and 'female knee' — is there something I wasn't taught in biology?) |
16 | HONGI | Hidden in 'laugh on giving. A greeting which involves pressing one's nose to another person's nose. |
17 | KANT | Double definition — Immanuel Kant; also an alternative spelling of 'cant', a sloping or tilted position or face. |
18 | KURD | K = 'end for black'; URD = bean plant (urad dal, much used in Punjabi recipes.) The Kurds (or some of them, anyway) inhabit the high mountain region south and south-east of Lake Van between Persia and Mesopotamia. |
19 | LABRUS | LARUS = the principal genus of the gull family; B = black. The wrasse genus of fishes, of the family Labridae. |
20 | PERSIENNE | PERSE = dark blue; *(NINE). An Eastern cambric or muslin with a coloured printed pattern. |
21 | PIGBOAT | PI = mixed-up type (also pye and pie); *(GOT AB). US naval slang for a submarine. |
22 | POINCIANA | INC = incorporated; in *(A PIANO). A tropical tree and a shrub (the one referred to in the Chambers definition, I think); also a town in Florida; and a jazz composition, by Nat Simon and Buddy Bernier, featuring on an album by the wonderful Ahmad Jamal. |
23 | POSAUNE | *(PANO USE), i.e. 'piano' minus I, and 'use'. A German trombone. |
24 | PROA | A Malay sailing-boat or rowing boat, esp a fast sailing-vessel with both ends alike, and a flat side with an outrigger kept to leeward. I haven't worked out the cryptic indication for this — it reads like a straight, non-cryptic clue. |
25 | RUNBACK | *(BAN); in RUCK = players gathering over ball (Rugby Union). The runback, in tennis, is the area behind the baseline at either end of the court. |
26 | SANITISE | To be clued by competitors. |
27 | STARKERS | *(STREAKS); around R = 'middle in Lord's'. I always like allusions to my beloved second home, but I strongly disapprove of anyone, naked or not, violating the hallowed turf; so I hope this doesn't get the popular vote as favourite clue. |
28 | STIR | Double definition (and a much-used one in crosswords, too). |
29 | STONK | KNOTS reversed. Good word. |
30 | TAGS | TA = thank you ('cheers'); G&S. |
31 | TINGLY | TIN = metal, for U in 'ugly'. |
32 | TRIMTAB | RIM = edge; in BATT reversed. A tab or aerofoil on an aircraft or boat, that can be adjusted in mid-passage to trim the craft. |
33 | TROUT | Another one where I am stuck on the cryptic indication; I thought it might somehow involve 'half-truth', 'half' being a measure of drink, but I can't make a compound anagram or anything similar. |
34 | TWIN AXIS | WIN = success; in *(TAXIS). The axis of symmetry of a twin crystal. |
35 | WHIRRET | *(I THREW R). A blow; to give a sharp blow to. |
36 | YARN-DYED | *(REY DANDY) — i.e. 'grey dandy' minus G (= good). |

By robbiefreeling | REVERSEBLOG: the reverse shot blog October 11, 2006 at 7:12AM
Damn you, David Lynch...as much as I tried to resist (which is not much), your Inland Empire has already infested my dreams, if in an appropriately roundabout way. Last night, I dreamed of an awkward, if slightly starstruck meeting between myself and Julia Ormond, who most certainly wouldn't have been anywhere near my consciousness if she hadn't appeared as the skittish mystery woman ( is there any other kind in Lynchland, really?) who, in one scene, seems to be confessing to a crime that she might have committed upon herself. (In a police station interrogation room, she claims to have killed a man with a screwdriver, only a moment later to reveal a screwdriver sticking out of a bloody hole in her own stomach....)
It's just one of an endless spiral of sequences predicated completely on dream logic...scenes don't really flow from one to the next so much as refer to one another with signifiers, motifs, and vague connections. Julia Ormond, whom one might recognize from her casual mid-Nineties flirtation with fame in such faint middlebrow memories as Sabrina and Legends of the Fall, was once full featured and lushly beautiful, while here she is dessicated, hollow—it's just one of Lynch's many surprises. "You remember Julia?" a friend (family member?) asked me by way of introduction last night. I nodded "Of course!" at the woman dressed in the decidedly un-Lynchian orange and yellow colored hat and dress in the middle of a mall food court. Our interaction from that point on is fuzzy now in the light of day...but I know that Lynch's movie has done its trick on me, and it has continued to grow and evolve in my mind as well as my subconscious.
First impressions were: the video is gorgeously grim, never has darkness looked so rich, so full of possibilities; Laura Dern is phenomenally expressive, if a tad lost in Lynch's labyrinth; it plays like a reversal of Mulholland Drive, in that it uses about 45 minutes of proper linear narrative (or as close as he gets to linear) and then launches into an unending dreamscape that repeats, flips, and wildly gesticulates for much of the running time; it can't be judged by average narrative film standards.
So, three days later, what is Inland Empire? There's no "waking up" from it, as though we become utterly trapped in its headspace of dissolved identities and missed connections. Regardless, Lynch has made something dazzlingly tactile from what is maddeningly inscrutable and opaque—you can almost reach out and touch the single light-sourced interiors, you can smell the musty rooms through which Dern wanders with no end. Though there's no "back to reality," the film still manages to resolve itself, if only spiritually. Ultimately, judging from Inland's last scenes, it could be a film about liberation, even emancipation—a young woman freed from the captivity of a bedroom, followed by a closing-credits musical lip-synch to Nina Simone's "Sinner Man," exuberantly performed by the film's chorus of prostitutes and kept women. To put these things into words could never do them justice, as the experience, ever inexplicable, simply lodges in your heart—once you're able to stop trying to psychoanalyze it. For all its impenetrability, and its lack of the aesthetic "refinement" that made Mulholland Drive one of the decade's great works thus far, the experiment of Inland Empire might have produced Lynch's most purely emotional film.

Hi Guys, I have a friend whos a Marine. She was a Hornet mechanic a long time ago. She told me once the Marines are called The Presidents Own because the president can send them anywhere without checking with congress first, or something. Im trying to substantiate that. Never mind for the moment that presidents have been sending all our service members all over the damm place without receiving congressional approval first for some time; Can anyone here tell me if this is true? Is there some document or statute somewhere that states the USMC is exempt having congressional approval before the president sends them into some conflict somewhere? Can someone cite it and/or send me a link to it? Ive tried searching The Presidents Own but the only results I get are about the USMC Band. 'USMC' doesn't lead me to anything substantiating it either. Id close with Semper fi, but Im not a Marine so Ill just say; Thanks, Vini

as current misinterpretations of the constitution have been declared by the us congress and supreme court the president can send any of the airforce marines army navy anywhere to do anything for a short deployment. there is nothing in the constitution that allows the president to do this however.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
He he he, yes the presidents own is the Marine Corps band. There is some kind if a stipulation somewhere (supposedly) that the president can "send in the Marines" without a formal declaration and without the approval of congress. For something like 2 months I think. Again, I say "supposedly"
You are speaking of the War Powers Act. Congress passed this over Nixon's veto. Copy & Paste-The War Powers Resolution requires the president to provide written notification to Congress of the introduction of U.S. armed forces into hostilities within forty-eight hours of such action. The president must explain the reasons forces were inserted in a hostile situation, the executive's authority for doing so, and the scope and duration of the military action. In addition, the president is required to terminate the use of military forces after sixty days unless Congress has declared war, extended the period by law, or cannot meet the sixty-day deadline as a result of an armed attack on the United States. The sixty days can be extended for thirty days by the president if the safety of armed forces would be jeopardized by immediate removal. The president is also required to remove forces at any time if Congress so demands by concurrent resolutions (known as a legislative veto). The president, as commander in chief, is empowered by the Constitution to lead U.S. forces once the decision to wage war is made or an attack on the United States has commenced. What Congress sought with the War Powers Resolution was participation in the decision to commit armed forces at the beginning of hostilities. But no, it is not just "send in the Marines". It is any of us that have taken the Queen's shilling. And the President's Own is the band.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
And that's why I said supposedly, it was what I had heard while in the service while not doing the research myself.
As trip286 said, "The President's Own" band is operated by the Marine Corps. That is where the expression derives. Other than that, the War Powers Act is the law of the land.
Finally back in the United States! OIIOHH See my blog at:http://oldmanmontgomery.wordpress.com/
While the topic is interesting, I have to say: If you get time with a Marine, buy them a drink and just listen. The Marines, to the last of my knowledge, are the ONLY force that has ever guarded foreign embassy locations and the dignitaries that stayed there during their detail. Yeah. There have been SeALs and DELTA and other folks attached to a HOT ZONE, but the Marines have been everywhere else. And under certain administrations they have done so WITHOUT loaded weapons. SO, when a Marine tells you that they have "been there, done that" you should probably pay them just a WEE bit of attention. JD
Yes, buy drinks for Marines. As often and as many as you can.
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of."

fotd featuring new body shop baked products
Hey all. Hope you're all well. Oooh I am pleased Spain went through tonight. More tasty Torres on my tv! And they're a good team...obvs. Anyway on to more pressing matters, I decided to try and give these new Body Shop Baked to Last eyeshadows a go. I've used some Mineralize products from MAC before and understand that they work better wet, but I do totally hate that layer of 'film' you get when you spray your brush. If you read my Body Shop event post you'd have seen the little tip Chase Aston passed on to us, which was to spritz your face first and then apply the shadows with a dry finger straight onto the lid. I'd never tried baked products/mineralize shadows like this before so I thought i'd give it a go! Here are the results:
So my application is a litttle messy but come on, it was my first go with my fingers! Let me off! :) On my eyes I used:

Body Shop Baked to Last eyeshadow in Moonstone
Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Eldorado
MAC Feline Kohl Power
MAC Opulash
I decided to use my new Elemis toner as a base which felt lovely but is obviously an expensive way to go! Probably not again...haha. You can use any face spritz, or Fix + or even just water. Spritz it over your eyes (closed!) and let it dry a little before dipping a dry finger into the eyeshadow and place it on the eye.
And here's a couple of grim pictures of my face of the day, eek!
NARS Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc mixed with
MAC Face and Body in White
MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer in NC15
Body Shop Blush in Coral
MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder in NC5
Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil
And here's a nice little close up of the Body Shop blush, also from the Baked to Last collection :)
Overall I like these eyeshadow shades, I think when applied wet the colour pay off is excellent, and to be honest I found the whole process quite easy and I didn't spend any longer on my makeup than I normally do. I also liked the blush shade but I think next time i'd try just the pink shade on it's own as I swirled it around and it was a little bit shimmery. I'd recommend these for a go but they're still on the pricier side of things with the eyeshadows priced at £9.50 each.
What do you think of my eye look? Do you use mineralized/baked products and if so do you have any tips to pass on for the best way to get pigment out of them? What do you think about this collection? Do let me know, I love to hear your thoughts!
Oh and I noticed today the lovely Leanne made a post using the Quartz eyeshadow from the same range, and she shows a different way to use them so click here to pop over to her blog and check out alternate uses for the eyeshadows!

Singer and actress Selena Gomez has admitted that she loves to spend time with her family. Selena spends so long working away that she loves being able to spend the holiday season with her family, as they all come together and celebrate as one.
Speaking to MTV News at the eighth Annual UNICEF Snowflake Ball, Gomez said, "Honestly we just love being able to just be together as a family. Everybody travels, my grandfather travels, I travel. I'm always out. So just being together, telling stories, cooking, eating a lot, that's usually what we do around the holidays."
Selena Gomez has become good friends with country singer Taylor Swift over the years and the two share all of their secrets with each other, especially when it comes to boy troubles. Selena recently admitted that she convinced Taylor to ask out One Direction's Harry Styles.
While Taylor Swift seems to be enjoying a blossoming romance with Harry Styles, Selena Gomez is not quite so lucky in love at the moment. It has been reported recently that Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber split up, although their are suggestions that they are going to try and work things out.

Jim & Jesse

Jim & Jesse in 1965
Background information | |
Origin | Carfax, Virginia |
Genres | Bluegrass |
Years active | 1945-2002 |
Labels | Epic, Harmony, Capitol, Soundwaves, MSR, Rural Rhythm Records |
Website | www.jimandjesse.com |
Past members | Jim McReynolds Jesse McReynolds |
Jim & Jesse were an American bluegrass music duo composed of brothers Jim McReynolds (February 13, 1927 – December 31, 2002) and Jesse McReynolds (born July 9, 1929). The two were born and raised in Carfax, a community near Coeburn, Virginia. Their grandfather, Charles McReynolds had led the band "The Bull Mountain Moonshiners", who recorded at the famous Bristol Sessions in 1927.[1]
Jesse played the mandolin with a unique, self-invented "crosspicking"and "split-string" playing method, and Jim sang as a high tenor and played guitar. They played with their backing band, The Virginia Boys, consisting of five-string banjo, fiddle and bass. The Virginia Boys have included a who's who of famous musicians such as famed fiddler Vassar Clements, banjo great Allen Shelton, fiddle great Jimmy Buchanan, Carl Jackson, Glen Duncan, Jesse's oldest son, the late Keith McReynolds, Randall Franks and many more.
Since the death of brother Jim, Jesse has gone on with their famous Virginia Boys band. He has continued in the bluegrass music tradition and has added other genres of music to his repertoire. His present show includes Chuck Berry songs, and he has just completed a tribute to Jerry Garcia & Robert Hunter (of the Grateful Dead) released in 2010 on Woodstock Records. It features Jerry's friends David Nelson and Sandy Rothman, along with Stu Allen, of the present Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band. The album is titled: "Jesse McReynolds & Friends Tribute to Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter ~ Songs of the Grateful Dead."
Jesse's present band lineup includes Keith's son, Garrett McReynolds as tenor singer/rhythm guitarist. On special occasions Jesse takes out the historic fiddle his grandfather played on the Bristol Sessions, and lets grandson Luke McKnight do the crosspicking that Jesse created. Rounding out the group is Travis Wetzel on fiddle, Gary Reece on banjo, and Larry Carney on guitar. This musical tradition continues on, entertaining fans all over the world.
Record releases and awards[edit]
In 1952, Jim & Jesse were signed to their first major label, Capitol Records.[2] They have also recorded for Columbia Records, Epic Records[2] and Opryland USA. They also released under their own Old Dominion record label. In 1960, their first single for Columbia was "The Flame of Love" backed by "Gosh I Miss You All The Time". Their other classic songs include "Cotton Mill Man", "Diesel On My Tail", "Are You Missing Me", and "Paradise".
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Jim and Jesse starred on the live radio show, the Suwannee River Jamboree, broadcast on Saturday nights from Live Oak, Florida on WNER radio.[3] The show was also syndicated throughout the Southeastern United States. The brothers replaced the Stanley Brothers on the show. They left when Martha White began using the duo as a sponsor.
On March 2, 1964, they were invited to join the Grand Ole Opry after making several appearances as guest performers, and they moved to Gallatin, Tennessee later that year.[4]
Their numerous honors include induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame's "Walkway of Stars", the Virginia Country Music Hall of Fame, the International Bluegrass Music Association's Hall of Honor, and Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Hall of Fame. Individually and collectively they were nominated for several Grammy Awards. They also received the National Heritage Fellowship Award from the National Endowment for the Arts, presented by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Jane Alexander at The White House on September 23, 1997.
Jim and Jesse joined producers Randall Franks and Alan Autry for the In the Heat of the Night (TV Series) cast CD "Christmas Time's A Comin'" performing "Christmas Time's A Comin'" with the cast on the CD released on Sonlite and MGM/UA for one of the most popular Christmas releases of 1991 and 1992 with Southern retailers. Jesse also added his mandolin talents to a vocal performance of "Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella" by the late TV legend Carroll O'Connor.
In 2004, Jesse was honored with a nomination by the International Bluegrass Music Association for his project, "Bending the Rules" as Instrumental Recording of the Year.
Jesse continues to perform at numerous folk festivals representing the traditional arts and some of his new styles.
A record setting career for the duo ends[edit]
In 2002, both brothers were diagnosed with different types of cancer. Jesse's battle was successful, but Jim passed on in 2002, ending the longest active professional brother duet in country music history - 55 years.
Jesse has carried on the Jim & Jesse tradition and continues to play The Grand Ole Opry & special dates with his band, as well as being a guest with other groups. He has a venue in Gallatin, TN called "The Pick Inn" where he and wife Joy own & operate an events venue & wedding business. Every year a special celebration is held at the Pick Inn to celebrate the music of Jim & Jesse and Jesse's birthday.
