From the Publisher"An excellent treatment of political developments from the Conquest through the death of Edward I that is informed by [Clanchy's] wide knowledge of the written sources for the period." (Sixteenth Century Journal, Summer 2009)
"[This] is the third edition of a much admired textbook which has already introduced countless students to the period yet remains fresh and full of imulating insights. For this edition Clanchy has updated the existing chapters and added excellent new ones on the economy, lordship, and England's position in Britain." (Annual Bulletin of Historical Literature, December 2008)
"Michael Clanchy is an engaging writer whose work is always notable for its clarity without oversimplifying the key academic debates. The third edition of this excellent survey text is no exception." (Journal of the Australian Early Medieval Association, Volume 4, 2008)
"MT Clanchy's supremely well-written account of the nation and its kings during this period retains its excellent introduction to the development of England after the Normans, but the three new chapters make it even more pertinent reading. Given current concerns over Britishness, this is a lively addition to the debate on where Britain's national identity derives from." (BBC History Magazine)
"A very good introduction to medieval England. The questions Clanchy raises, his frequent challenges to the views of other historians, his thoughtful and learned discussions of major issues in the history of medieval England, and his generous and explicit use of primary sources all combine to offer rich material for reflection and discussion." (Medieval Review)

Ralph Malbrough / Contributing Writer
NEWORLEANS-- I saw this week it's the 10th anniversary of ex-Jet's coach Herm Edwards famous
media meltdown and then I realized it was 25 years ago last week when Jim Mora had a post game rant that changed the New Orleans Saints forever.
On October 25,1987 NFL players had just returned from striking and the Saints lost to San Francisco 24-22. No real news there as the Saints hadn't had a winning season in their franchise's history.
Jim Mora, in his second year as head coach, got asked in the post game press conference something about if losing a close game to the 49ers proved the Saints were a quality team and had a shot at the playoffs. What happened next is easily one of the most important moments in team history.
If you are under 35 understand the Saints before 1987 were not only the worst NFL team they were arguably the worst professional sports team in America.
They were known for two things; they had never had a winning season and Saints fans wore paper bags on their heads to show their disgust with the team.
Jim Mora changed the course of the franchise in 58 glorious seconds when he unleashed what is known to any Saints fan that remembers it as the
'Coulda, Woulda Shoulda' meltdown
Mora's rant basically described perfectly the angst and pain Saints fans had felt since New Orleans received a professional football team. The Saints hadn't ever done anything significant as a team and as Mora said, ' Close don't mean #$^& and you can print that for me.'
I was 12 at the time and can remember watching it on the news and my dad saying, 'Well either Jim Mora is going to get the Saints winning or go completely insane. The Saints don't just drive fans crazy they do it to their own coach.' Lucky for us it was the former.
Can I prove Mora's rant directly helped change the Saints from losers to winners? The next week they beat Atlanta 38-0 and didn't lose again for the rest of 1987. Maybe they would have gone on a winning streak without Mora's post-game tirade, but history doesn't work that way. History says the Saints were 3-3, their coach melted down in glorious anger, and they won nine straight.
When the rest of America thinks of Jim Mora they think of his 'Playoffs' rant, Saints fans should remember he had a better one 25 years ago that changed football in New Orleans forever.
Yeah this column is about something from 25 years ago so what? I'm old. All you people under 30 will eventually be too.
Sean Payton sabbatical spot of the week: Romania
Since it's Halloween time Sean can head to Transylvania in Romania if he wants have some scary fun. Bran Castle is one of the most popular tourist sites in Romania. It was built in the 14th century and is said to be the residence of the fictional character Dracula. Of course if Payton wants to have the you know what scared out of him he could just watch the Saints defense play Monday night.
Last week: 3-2
Season 21-19
Philadelphia (+3) at New Orleans: After watching the Saints for seven weeks I'm convinced if they play any playoff quality teams they aren't winning and if Drew Brees doesn't play well they won't even be competitive. The good news is the Eagles don't fit into that category.
Philly was thinking of benching Michael Vick because they rank only 28th in points per game. Of course the Saints defense is the miracle drug of the NFL because they cure any problem your offense may have. If Michael Vick can't carve up the worst defense in NFL history then the Eagles are really hopeless and Andy Reid's days as their coach are numbered.
This game to me goes one of two ways. Either Vick looks spectacular and on Tuesday everyone is saying Philly is back and ready to make a second half run or Drew Brees looks fantastic, the Saints defense forces a couple Vick fumbles, and there's a 50% chance Reid gets fired Tuesday. As much as it pains me I'm guessing Vick will be the NFC offensive player of the week.
Eagles 35-21
Atlanta (-4) at Dallas: One of my Twitter followers summed up the Cowboys perfectly by calling them version 2.0 of the Jim Haslett Saints. Endless Buffoonery. They have just enough talent to lose in grand style. Tony Romo will gift wrap this one to the Falcons late.
Falcons 31-24
Miami (-2.5) at Indianapolis: Since my wife is a Dolphin fan she is really excited that Ryan Tannehill might end up not being horrible. She may have to retire her Dan Marino jersey if Tannehill proves competent.
Dolphins 23-17
Cleveland (+3.5) vs. Baltimore: Shhhh. Don't tell anybody in the media because they love John Harbaugh but the Ravens are old and done and Joe Flacco is terrible.
Browns 17-13
LSU (+9.5) vs. Alabama: I think the media is selling LSU short in this game. Zach Mettenberger has been mediocre at best and Alabama looks like a killing machine but I think everyone hasn't let go of the National Title game. Yeah the Tigers got rolled but Saturday night won't be the same. Every game is different. I'm convinced we'll know within two offensive series if LSU has a shot in this game. It will obvious real quick if Mettenberger is up to the challenge of handling the biggest moment of his career. I think he'll be ok and Les Miles will pull out a few tricks to try and create a wave of emotion from the Tiger Stadium crowd. I think Mettenberger will have a chance late to win it but come up just short.
Somebody needs to throw a monkey wrench into Nick Saban's joyless march to a second championship in a row. I love the entire Les Miles experience. He may think the IRS will charge him a timeout tax if he doesn't use them all in the first quarter, his offensive philosophy sometimes make you believe he views the forward pass as a fad, but his website creates preview videos incorporating the Iron Man trailer and I can't help but love the guy.
Miles line after the Tigers beat South Carolina of; 'Death Valley is truly a place where opponents dreams come to die.' was my favorite thing to come out of a winning coach's mouth ever. I want to pick LSU it's just if I pick them I'm basically expecting something out of Mettenberger we've yet to see. If you predict things that have never happened to occur you usually are wrong, LSU keeps it close but falls short.
Bama 23-16

Has anyone had any experience shooting one? fallenangelhim10-07-2012, 11:29A Sig 522 is more fun for .22 plinking. Unless you are looking for a 1911 trainer. Sent from my Android itstime10-07-2012, 11:45Mine is a blast to shoot. A great 1911 trainer. That said it is ammo picky. Shoots well with CCI. bac102310-07-2012, 11:53I'd say its the best rimfire 1911 style pistol, but that's not saying much. If you want a good plinker, go with something else. brianfede10-07-2012, 13:14I'd say its the best rimfire 1911 style pistol, but that's not saying much. If you want a good plinker, go with something else. Agree 100%. I wanted a 1911 style .22lr. I shot the Sig and I am just not a fan. Don't like the way you field strip the gun, didn't like the weight, and didn't find it to be very accurate compared to a Buckmark or a Ruger. I love the way the SIG looks, I love it idea of the 1911 22lr but I wont buy one until they are improved. Just my personal opinion, I know others who love their rimfire Sig. bwvan10-07-2012, 13:16I bought one a few weeks ago. It is really fun to shoot and shoots very well. It will function pretty reliably with high velocity ammo but not with standard velocity or target ammo. Generally if I load the mag with 9 cartridges, it will function without a hitch. If I try to go with 10, it has a FTF on the first shot. The pistol is made well and really looks good. I'd give it a thumbs up if you can get one around $375 and you're not depending on its reliability as your only means of self-defense. itstime10-10-2012, 09:47Mine is a blast to shoot. A great 1911 trainer. That said it is ammo picky. Shoots well with CCI. Took it to the range and didn't have .22 ammo with me so I purchased a Remington bulk pack at the range and it ran flawless for a couple hundred rounds. I was surprised. I need to go to Walmart and stock up. I was a blast to shoot. A true 1911 it isn't but it is close enough to me. Ruggles10-10-2012, 12:11I'd say its the best rimfire 1911 style pistol, but that's not saying much. If you want a good plinker, go with something else. The best? Well except for this one :whistling: http://www.collectorsfirearms.com/modern-guns/modern-handguns-post-1898/custom-high-performance-1911-s/nighthawk-custom-1911-22-lr.html :faint: WTF? $2000 for a .22LR 1911. Man you have to shoot alot to save that much shooting .22LR over .45ACP :rofl: knedrgr10-10-2012, 17:04Sig 1911-22 is the same pistol as the GSG 1911-22, of which the GSG is cheaper. You're just paying for the Sig roll mark. I have the GSG version, and love it. Great training for clearing malfunctions and trigger time. It's fun to see a ragged hole of 22s. Not a target gun by any means, but it is fun to shoot. Picky ammo, yes. But I can care less. I mix my ammo so the low velocity will cause malfunctions, but it give me a chance to practice my clearing techniques. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/391496_506560019360157_836309899_n.jpg DaveFJ8010-11-2012, 22:43I also had a GSG-1911 and it was a fun to shoot and really accurate & reliable. In a way, I kind of wish I didn't sell mine since I had mine setup just how I wanted it, but I grew bored of it and like shooting .45 1911's more. But for practice and wanting to plink with, it's a great gun. Even worked great with 36 gr CCI MiniMag rounds on .5" steel plates at a rimfire steel match I used it in. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e51/mugenef8/FIREARMS/GSG_1911/Comp_BasePad/34.jpg vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

Hello everyone,
okay so my problem is; My new project is a blanket and as im new to knitting i'm doing very well but i was wondering how to knit in two colours, my blanket is green but i want to do an orange design within the green stitches. How would i go about this?
Thankyou in advance
~ Jessica
Hi Jessica,
I'm not sure if you are wanting to knit two colors together or knit one color and then change to another color. If you want to knit one color and then change to another color this youtube video will help with that:
Hope this helps.
Stephanie, I like that video. Here are two more for adding color, one for intarsia
and one for stranding or Fair Isle
the way I knit a blanket is in squares and then I sew them together

India Polls: Front-runner could clamp down on beef exports
Published on May 11, 2014 9:19 AM
NEW DELHI/MUMBAI (REUTERS) - India's main Hindu nationalist party says it plans to clamp down on beef exports if it takes power after general elections that end on Monday, threatening supplies from one of the world's biggest shippers of the meat.
Surprisingly in a country where so many view cows as sacred, India has been poised to become the No.1 beef exporting nation, supplying markets such as Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Egypt.
Although most of that is from buffalo, which are not worshipped by Hindus, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants to curb exports that jar with the country's vegetarian tradition and to bolster the availability of animals reared to work on farms and for their milk.
A drop in Indian exports could buoy global cattle prices that have come off record peaks this year after the US herd was pegged at its lowest in over six decades.

Maxim Touch 17 is very powerful. Like gut it is great on serves and overheads but hard to control on groundstrokes.

This is a great string, just lacks a little feel on touch shots.

Mantis Comfort
Gamma Live Wire XP (very similar to Professional but considerably less expensive)

I think the Technifibre strings are overhyped personally.
Another off-brand that is very good is Tier One Triumph.
Mantis Comfort is the softest string but not durable. I'm getting ready to try Gamma Pro soon. If I like it, I'll try Live Wire XP. I just finished with Tier One and it is very similar to my favorite string Discho Microfibre.

NRG2 16 had no spin for me either. RIP Control 16 has the most spin but I found it lacked the control and feel I desired.

Employee-owned devices has made the list of one of the biggest cyber threats, according to a forecast from M86 Security Labs.
And Android smartphones may be the biggest cyber threat to federal agency networks.
That's because Droids are increasingly being targeted by hackers.
"Android is in many ways a victim of its own success," the M86 threat forecast states. "As users flock to devices running the operating system, so do the attackers."
Bradley Anstis is the vice president of technical strategy at M86 Security, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the network threats, why the Android platform is an increasing target and what agencies can do protect themselves.

Almost idiot proof. I'd cut BD skins before and there was the effort to set the skin slightly offset each side to trim the right amount off. With the G3 tool you simply put the skins on the center of the ski and run it down the edges. It's set to cut the appropriate distance in to clear the edges.

Now that the Harrison twins from Kentucky's NCAA Basketball team have declared eligible for the NBA Draft, what does this mean for the betting landscape next season?
Now is the perfect time to start looking to next season's NCAA Basketball betting landscape and it seems likely the current champion Duke won't be the betting favorite at sportsbooks.
The UNC Tarheels are tied as the betting odds favorite to win the NCAA Championship at a massive 10/1 price. Can Roy Williams and his team take down the National Title?
Should Coach Mike Krzyzewski & his Duke Blue Devils be considered for NCAA Basketball picks next season, after winning the National Championship in 2015?
With many NCAA Basketball coaches moving around, we need to take a quick look at the betting landscape and understand where things are at in the state of Futures bets & sports picks.

No need to wait till your summer hols to indulge in a good read. On your staycation, you have the luxury of time to sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in a fab book. Whether that's a good old trashy novel, educational text or a self-help title, your staycation is your chance to lose yourself in a good book.
What I don't understand is this recent need to judge people on the way they travel; on the way they relax; on the way they like to experience the world. I'm sure many people would love to go trekking for three weeks through the jungles of Borneo (and many wouldn't), but the reality is that these days people just don't have the time.
May is lovely in Great Britain - friends are busy sharing photos of sunny walks in the park, the first BBQ of the year, or the first time playing cricket as the May Bank Holidays encourage us to get outside and be more active. With the understanding that the British weather is unpredictable, we rush out to soak up the rays at every opportunity.
Soft white sand, crystal-clear water, perfect weather... it's not hard to see why every year millions of visitors flock to the islands of the Caribbean. It ticks all the boxes of a perfect tropical holiday. Here is the scoop on just some of the beautiful destinations of which dreams and desktop wallpapers are made.
The warm spring sunshine that has arrived across most of Britain is dividing opinion amongst the travel industry. Companies selling holidays in the UK are breathing a huge sigh of relief. Some were wondering if coverage of the floods in the West Country would kill off bookings for the season. How quickly we forget.
There's something about treehouses that brings the child inside of us out! Which of us would have said "No thanks" to our parents offering to build us a tree house in the bottom of the garden? So when we get a chance as adults to stay in a treehouse, it fills in some forgotten nook of delight. And that's before we've even seen what's outside!
The long-awaited sunshine enjoyed in parts of the UK this past week will no doubt have got many of us in the mood for a holiday, with some tempting last-minute deals on 'winter sun' getaways to be found. But would you be willing to jet-off to an exotic destination without the recommended vaccinations or malaria protection?

Bloomberg gives final State of the City address
"It's the right thing to do, and it will allow us to target police resources where they're needed most," Bloomberg said, adding that he continues to back a push to change state laws to make low-level marijuana possession a non-criminal violation.
The change comes after several years of back-and-forth between the city and drug policy advocates over the soaring number of such arrests in the last decade.
The mayor also unveiled a slate of environmental initiatives, including asking the City Council to change the building code so that up to 20 percent of new public parking spaces are wired for electric cars and to ban plastic foam food containers from stores and restaurants.
Polystyrene foam has long been a takeout staple because of its light weight and heat-keeping properties, but it takes a long time to break down in landfills. Several cities around the country have banned such containers, and Bloomberg said New York should follow suit.
"Something we know is environmentally destructive, that is costing taxpayers money, and that is easily replaceable is, I think, something we can do without," he said.
While polystyrene is used in Styrofoam, the brand isn't used in food packaging, according to its manufacturer, the Dow Chemical Co.
On a larger scale, the city will advocate for allowing in-state college students who came to the U.S. illegally as young children to get state financial aid. And Bloomberg, who has long been a vocal gun control advocate, devoted a forceful part of Thursday's speech to calling on listeners to press Congress for changes to gun laws.
Bloomberg invoked the toll of gun violence to defend stop-and-frisks, in which police stop, question and sometimes pat down people officers believe are acting suspiciously, but who may not meet the probable-cause standard for an arrest.
Police call the tactic a crucial crime-fighting tool that helps net illegal weapons, but it has spurred lawsuits and proposed legislation from critics who see the stops as unfair and racially suspect. The vast majority of those stopped are black and Hispanic.
"I understand that innocent people don't like to be stopped," Bloomberg said. "But innocent people don't like to be shot and killed, either."
The mayor's remarks were an unwelcome surprise to City Councilman Jumaane Williams, an outspoken opponent of the city's extensive use of the tactic.
"He made it a point to double down on stop, question and frisk. ... It was like he was pushing it out there to try and taunt people," Williams said later.

Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) has been upgraded so it can remove a worm that tries to download malicious software.
Many companies have seen Conficker rapidly spread on their networks over the last few weeks, said Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer for the Finnish security company F-Secure.
F-Secure has analysed the malware and found it contains an algorithm that generates domain names for command-and-control servers. The malware authors can then turn one of those domain names into a live website where the infected PCs report to for updated malware or instructions, he said.
The technique has been used by other botnets, such as Mebroot. It's very difficult to shut down the command-and-control websites, since it's hard to know which ones of hundreds could potentially go live, Hypponen said.
"It's a pretty nasty mechanism," Hypponen said.
F-Secure has registered some of those domain names generated by the algorithm to try to get an estimate of how many computers may be infected. On Tuesday, the number stood at more than 2.5 million. On Wednesday, Hypponen said F-Secure has seen more than 3.5 million machines polling the registered domain name for instructions. But F-Secure analysts think the real number of infected machines could be much higher.
Other than infecting computers, Hypponen said F-Secure hasn't seen other malicious activity from Conficker.B's network of computers. However, those machines form a massive botnet that could be used for other havoc.
An earlier version of Conficker tampered with PC's Domain Name System (DNS) settings. That can cause a computer to visit a different website than the one shown in a browser's address box.
Hypponen said in those instances, Conficker redirected users from Google to Russian websites stuffed with advertisements. The tampering also caused advertising pop-ups to appear. In both examples, Conficker's controllers could be directing masses of traffic on those advertisements in order to generate fraudulent revenue, he said.

Gaza Fashion Trend: Rockets!
The must-have accessory of the season
Following the recent conflict in Gaza, there is a new fashion trend sweeping through Gaza and the West Bank. Rocket-maaaaania! What started as a weapon fired indiscriminately on a civilian population, the rocket has graduated into the must-have accessory of the Palestinian territories.
The boy in the picture above is the latest to trumpet the trend, this one, a model of the Iranian-designed M-75 long-range rocket. Kid-tested, father-approved. Capable of reaching Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
But the rocket trend isn't just for men. The ladies love 'em too. Check out a picture from earlier this week featuring a group of women parading fake Qassam rockets at a rally in Nablus. Hold them upright or Radio Raheem-style, they are versatile, even if they lack a basic aiming mechanism.
But what if you don't want to carry around a rocket all day? Don't despair, consumers! There is also the musk of rocket. According to Foreign Policy, the M-75 fragrance–available in both his and hers scent–is literally taking off!
According to the owner of the company, Shadi Adwan, "The fragrance is pleasant and attractive, like the missiles of the Palestinian resistance, and especially the M-75." Its goal? "To remind citizens of the victory wherever they may be, even in China."

Mater Dei gets off to fast start in boys' basketball
Wildcats stand 2-0 in SIAC
Pain, it seems, has been a great motivator for the Mater Dei High School boys' basketball team.
After going 6-15 last season, the Wildcats have opened the year strongly, moving to 5-2 on Tuesday with a 72-65 win at South Spencer. They're also 2-0 in the Southern Indiana Athletic Conference.
"Most of these guys had had a lot of success at the lower levels," said Mater Dei coach Kurt Wildeman, whose team hosts Washington (4-5) on Friday. "Then last year when they got their first taste of varsity ball it was humbling."
Leading scorer Ryan Wannemueller, a senior guard averaging 17.5 points a game after a 26-point night against thre Rebels, said last year was definitely a learning experience.
"I don't think we were ready for the level of basketball we had to play in the SIAC last year," he said. "I don't think we had any idea what to expect. It was tough.
"So we got together about three weeks after the season ended to figure out what we could do to not have another season like that and we went to work on the weights and playing a lot of basketball."
Wildeman said the Wildcats came back a different team.
"Part of it is just being a year older, a year stronger," said Wildeman. "That's paid off in a few more wins. But a lot of it is they work they put in, too.
"Our top three scorers this year, Ryan, Will LaRue and Tyler Walsh, were all playing their first real varsity last year and they've all expanded their games this year."
Wannemueller averaged a team-high 14.3 points last year, LaRue 6.4 points and Walsh 6.1 points. This year in addition to Wannemueller adding 3.2 points to his scoring average, LaRue is up to 14.1 points and Walsh up to 12.5 points and almost 10 rebounds a game.
"I think Will has made a lot of the difference," said Wannemueller. "He's moving the ball better this year. I think he's just getting everybody the ball in good places more often and it's working out well for the entire team."
Wannemueller felt the off-season work and a year's experience paid off in less-quantifiable areas.
"All the work has made us a lot more comfortable together on the court," he said "I think we grew together over the summer and now we just play better basketball with each other.
"We all have our roles, I guess, but the main thing is we're playing better as a team. I think we understand each other's roles better, too, and what we need to do as a team to make that work.
"We can have a way better season this year and when we get into the tournament we can go pretty far. Playing in the SIAC just makes you get better."

NEW YORK -- A defense lawyer has told a jury in New York that an Egyptian Islamic preacher on trial on charges that he supported terrorism around the world has never harmed Americans.
Attorney Joshua Dratel told jurors during an opening statement Thursday that Mustafa Kamel Mustafa will testify on his own behalf.
The government says Mustafa tried to create an al-Qaida training camp in Bly, Ore., in late 1999 and early 2000. He's also charged with helping kidnappers in Yemen in a 1998 attack that killed four people, and arranged for fighters to attend an Afghanistan al-Qaida training camp.
Dratel spoke after a prosecutor claimed Mustafa was part of a global campaign to spread terror.
The 55-year-old cleric was extradited from England in 2012.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Francis H. Straus II, MD, MS (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine)
Description: This new edition of an introductory pathology text includes 9 general principles chapters and 14 systemic pathology chapters. This edition updates the 1992 fifth edition.
Purpose: The authors claim extensive revision in the written text and more so in conversion of most black-and-white illustrations into new color pictures. Charts and schematics have also been converted to color. The book emphasizes clinicopathologic correlations and how molecular pathology affects clinical medicine. A new chapter that includes selected common disorders of skin has been added. Pediatric disorders were covered diffusely and are now combined into one chapter called "Genetic and Pediatric Diseases." Laboratory diagnosis of selected heart diseases, endocrine disorders, and genetic diseases has been expanded.
Audience: As before, this book is designed for beginning pathology students in a somewhat simpler, shorter format than the widely used medical student text, Pathologic Basis of Disease, by the same authors. This book can be used by medical students, but may be more appropriate for pathology doctoral candidates; paramedical, nursing, or dental students; physician assistants; or public health students. The authors are all experienced and credible.
Features: This edition has the same type size, margin size, and number of pages as the fifth edition. There is a chapter outline on each chapter's title page, and there are boldfaced headings dividing the chapter text in the same outline format. Numerous illustrations, tables, and diagrams are placed appropriately in the text with brief legends. Important portions of text are printed on pale green background for emphasis. At the end of each chapter, there is a short list of up-to-date references, mostly review articles with brief content comments. At the back there is a useful 30-page index.
Assessment: This book's reputation, careful organization, color illustrations, attractive layout, and succinct, clear expression will maintain its usefulness as a simpler and shorter introductory text in pathology. The new edition is more up-to-date and more understandable with its color additions. It is a good, not watered down, simpler pathology text.

A teenage girl from Ventura County, California is trying to launch a national boycott against Girl Scout cookies. She is protesting the Girl Scout's decision to admit a 7-year-old transgender child to a troop in Colorado last year.
The protesting girl, who is identified as Taylor (an ironically gender-free name!), has made a YouTube video stating her case.
She argues that Girl Scouts should remain an all-girl experience. She says that only then can families trust that girls will be in an environment which is safe, nurturing and sensitive to girls' needs.
Then she tries to sell her new cookies, "Snootie Pies," which are bitter little pastries trapped in a stiff upper crust.
Actually, I agree that Girl Scouts should be all girls. My boys are in Boy Scouts, and it's all boys, and that is just the way they like it. The question is, when is a girl a girl, and when is a boy a boy?
The decision in question centers around a 7-year-old child, Bobby Montoya (Bobby – an almost gender-free name!), who was admitted to a troop because, although he was born male, he is living as a girl. His mother believes that he was born in the wrong body and said that "no one would know he's a boy unless they pulled his pants down."
I wish she would have put that a little more delicately.
The Girl Scouts of Colorado explained their decision this way: "If a child identifies as a girl and the child's family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout."
Given the uber-sensitivity in our culture right now about LBGT issues, there is no way the Girl Scouts could refuse her.
It's a whole new world, and we all have to figure out how to live in it. When this decision was reached in Colorado, three leaders in Louisiana resigned and dissolved their troops in protest. That seems a little extreme. They've denied all those Louisiana girls a great scouting experience just because they're freaked out by some 7-year-old that lives halfway across the country.
This is a stressful situation, and when Americans get stressed, they eat sweets. We don't need to boycott cookies – we need to create some new Girl Scout Cookies to get through this rough time of adjustment.
How about:
Mike or Marys
Pinky Blues
Double Stuffed Bloomers
Fruit Surprise
Butter Nubs
Gingerbread GenderBenders – spicy!
Interestingly, Bobby has not joined the Girl Scout troop after all, as a station in Colorado is reporting. And the call for a boycott has invoked some backlash, with supporters of transgender issues encouraging people to buy extra cookies.
This is just the excuse I need to buy an extra three boxes of Tagalongs.

ALBANY � While the Cuomo administration says it�s stepping up firefighter training for potential oil train disasters, an Albany community group is skeptical the efforts will protect them from a crude oil explosion.
Sandy Steubing of People of Albany United for Safe Energy says Wednesday that first responders can�t extinguish fires involving the explosive crude oil shipped by rail from North Dakota. In recent derailments in Lynchburg, Virginia, and other states, firefighters let the fires burn out.
Steubing spoke as Albany firefighters hosed foam at a simulated fuel-spill fire.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo�s office has been publicizing stepped-up efforts to address oil-train safety. James Cable of the state Division of Homeland Security says the drill was one of dozens routinely held around the state annually to train for fires involving flammable liquids.

The Victoria Palace Theatre is built on the site of one of London's first music hall venues and is a large building built in a classical style. Away from the West End opposite Victoria Station, the theatre has a large capacity and has been plagued with a string of musical flops until the 2005 hit Billy Elliot which continues to run at the venue.
The theatre is built in a traditional style with three levels and can feel a little overwhelming due to the relatively small size of the stage. Each level is quite well raked and is curved around each balcony, giving different levels of visibility throughout. Prices vary accordingly and it is worth knowing how much you wish to spend against how close you wish to be.
Big Budget Tip
Premium seats are towards the centre of the Stalls. In our opinion these are better than those in the Dress Circle. Mid stalls seats offer a generally better view of the stage.
Best Value Tip
Due to the rake of the stage, some restricted view seats in the Stalls offer great value for money. You may miss out on the actors feet, but you will not get so close for so little anywhere else in the West End!

Bishop Fox to Reveal Major Vulnerabilities in Home, Office, and Building Security Systems at Black Hat Las Vegas & DEF CON
In Two Separate Presentations, Bishop Fox Researchers Will Demonstrate the Susceptibility of Building Security Systems and Employee Badging Systems Used by Millions Worldwide
Phoenix, Ariz. (PRWEB) July 19, 2013
Later this month, researchers at Bishop Fox (formerly Stach & Liu), one of the industry's leading enterprise security consultancies, will reveal critical vulnerabilities in many of the world's most widely-used building security systems and RFID (radio frequency identification) based badging systems.
The upcoming Black Hat USA 2013 conference, which takes place from July 29-August 1 in Las Vegas, features Bishop Fox Senior Security Analysts Drew Porter and Stephen Smith and Partner Fran Brown presenting two separate talks that showcase methods of bypassing physical security systems used by millions in buildings all over the globe. Brown's talk will also be presented at the annual DEF CON security conference, which takes place in Las Vegas from August 1-4.
Porter and Smith's talk, "Let's Get Physical: Breaking Home Security Systems and Bypassing Building Controls" (http://www.blackhat.com/us-13/briefings.html#Porter), will demonstrate methods of jamming communications and fooling the digital sensors commonly used in many building security systems, both at home and in the office. Brown's talk, "RFID Hacking: Live Free or RFID Hard" (http://www.blackhat.com/us-13/briefings.html#Brown), will reveal vulnerabilities in badging systems widely used to control access to buildings and secured areas.
"Taken together, these two talks highlight game-changing vulnerabilities that show how virtually any building or secure area is susceptible to entry," said Brown. "We believe that this information will and should change the way businesses and homeowners defend their buildings against physical threats."
In their talk, Porter and Smith demonstrate flaws in the digital systems and sensors used by more than 36 million office, building, and home security systems in the United States. Both researchers will give a detailed description of methods that can be used to prevent the tripping of commonly-used building security sensors, enabling an attacker to bypass electronic alarms and surveillance systems to access secure doors without setting off an alarm. Using these methods and tools, an attacker could easily break into any home and many businesses without triggering the alarm systems installed within.
"What's downright frightening about these vulnerabilities is how effective and damaging they are when exploited," said Porter. "The research we've done affects millions of homes and buildings." The methods Porter and Smith will showcase allow for undetectable covert entry, leaving no physical sign of compromise. The two researchers will discuss how alarm system signals can be intercepted, with no warnings sent and local alarms being shut down. "We believe this research should change the way enterprises and homeowners view electronic security systems, and hopefully, the way manufacturers build, install, and market them," Porter said.
Brown's talk on RFID Hacking will be presented at both the Black Hat USA and DEF CON conferences. Brown will demonstrate methods of capturing and abusing RFID proximity badge information, essentially enabling attackers to disguise themselves as authorized entrants to gain access to any secure area that requires a RFID badge for entry. RFID proximity badging systems are among the most popular and are used in millions of buildings and businesses across the globe.
"The susceptibility of RFID badging systems has been known for some time, but until now, the attacker had to be within centimeters of a legitimate badge in order to read its data," explained Brown. "We'll be demonstrating a method of attaining badge data from several feet away, showing it can be done without the victim's knowledge. This makes it possible for someone to copy a badge using a much wider array of social engineering tactics, and then come back later with the cloned badge and gain entry to secured areas."
In his talk, Brown will demonstrate methods of cracking higher-privilege badges in order to gain access to high security areas such as data centers or vaults. He will also outline methods for creating cloned cards and planting physical backdoor devices into a secure area so that the attacker can come and go at will.
"This talk will change the way many businesses view and use RFID proximity badging technology," said Brown. "We will also offer recommendations for preventing the theft of badge data."
The two talks are representative of Bishop Fox's unique approach to enterprise security – developing highly tailored security programs for its clients. The firm is made up of an offensive practice and a defensive practice, and so is positioned on the cutting-edge of both threat identification and defensive strategy.
"The manner in which we will share our research, emphasizing not only the threats but also the solutions, reflects Bishop Fox's philosophy of contributing to both attack and defense," said Vincent Liu, Partner at Bishop Fox. "We believe that offensive penetration testing is only one side of the coin. Identified vulnerabilities should inform and improve an organization's approach to enterprise defense."
Bishop Fox provides a wide range of offensive and defensive security consulting for a broad array of businesses, governments, and private organizations. For more information, visit http://www.bishopfox.com.
