I'm in Rwanda for the next three months with my two littles (3 & 1). We're visiting my parents, and I'll be doing a little bit of volunteer work, but mostly we're just bumming around and I would LOVE to meet up with any MDC mamas who might be around. We're in Kigali. *Please* get in touch if you're around! :D
For greater things are yet to come...
Hey! I am nowhere near Rwanda, but I'm wondering: What are you doing for your kids' malaria prophylaxis? I hope to bring my son to East Africa, where I was a Peace Corps volunteer, and am having a hard time tracking down the guidelines. Hope you're enjoying Rwanda! I would love to go.
At home amongst the redwoods with my husband and my son, born 7/5/11, and #2 due in October 2015 Instant CNM, just add !
We don't do malaria prophylaxis. We're not really in a very high incidence area, and I really think the drugs are pretty toxic, especially for tiny bodies. If they get malaria, then we'll treat it. But, I'm not really concerned. I seem to have really good malaria luck, which I know isn't scientific at all, but I've spent several years in malaria zones and have never taken the prophylaxis. I've never gotten malaria. Everytime I'm in a malaria zone with someone who does take the prophylaxis, *they* get malaria! In any case, like I said, we're not in a high risk area, and we have easy access to very good medical care. Calculated risk on my part. We do sleep under nets though.
It's a tough decision, hey?
I hope you have an awesome trip with your son. :)

Thanks! I hope your good luck holds.

Ooooo... Not in Rwanda, but sooo hoping to connect with mamas there. We are wanting to relocate in 2015 to Kigali. Where do I go to get info on uprooting life here and moving there?
mama- did you find anyone to connect with?

Ariahsmum, isn't your son from Rwanda? Pretty cool that you're planning such a big leap! We're there and back again, and after nearly 8 years, my parents are off to Costa Rica in the next few months. It was really neat being there, and I got to work at an amazing midwifery/prenatal clinic in one of the "slums". I'm only peripherally involved with life there, but would be happy to pass on contacts or places you should go that I do know of.
I never did connect with anybody there from MDC. I met a social worker who was pretty AP, but mostly the parents I met were did not necessarily share my parenting philosophies, and I even met a few proud "Babywise Moms". (gulp) *But*, the MDC-style parents have got to be around!
Best with the big move! :)

I have no idea why I thought stress of third world government processes would be limited to adoption, but it turns out it also applies to immigration. DUH!
I've made some preliminary inquiries and it sounds tough to get a visa extended beyond 90 days in Rwanda. Recently it has gotten even tighter than in the past in fact as a reaction to international views and politics. The Embassy in DC responded to my inquiry by stating that we (all of us) appear before immigration in Kigali to inquire about extending stay beyond 90 days. As a right brained westerner I was hoping for some more clarity about our plans BEFORE packing up a home, animals, jobs, etc and moving to another country for *hopefully* a year. I get pretty unsettled thinking about just sitting and waiting with our family in the immigration office. I've been there and done that, but for adoption which seemed a stressful yet unavoidable part of the process. I'm just not feeling the luv of leaving for an undetermined amount of time- 90 days or one year, who knows!
I wonder if your parents can shed any light on this?
I did in fact adopt from Rwanda. Is a matter of fact, it was my AP style that put off the adoption the first time as I had induced lactation and pumping and ready with milk. The gov't didn't get this, didn't think it was possible with my claimed circumstances (fetal death and complete hysterectomy as reason for childlessness) and they therefore refused us as they assumed we were lying about some or all of our case. In the end we made it thru and now are home and it all seems like distant dream.

I can ask my parents. I know when we stayed past the 90 days, we just went to the office, waited around for 10 minutes to hand over our passports and some money, and then came back a few days later and picked up our passports. It was painless, other than the 20 minute walk in the middle of the day with a 30lb toddler on my back (I am such a heat whimp). My parents and brother are residents, and have been for a long time, but I don't know when or how they transitioned to that. I'll ask when I speak to them next.
Sorry to hear your adoption was rough!
What an adventure for all of you if you can make this work! The library is open in Kigali now, and it looks lovely. There's even a children's section!

Routledge – 2011 – 262 pages
Recently there has been a plethora of work published on the topic of sustainability, much of which is purely theoretical or technical in its approach. More often than not these books fail to introduce readers to the larger challenge of what thinking sustainably might entail.
Combining a series of well know authors in contemporary philosophy with established practitioners of sustainable design, this book develops a coherent theoretical framework for how theories of sustainability might engage with the growing practice of design. This book:
This volume describes a variety of new ways to approach sustainable design and it equips the next generation of designers with necessary conceptual tools for thinking sustainably.
Foreword Part 1: Principles 1. Letter to the Profession of Architecture 2. Art, Politics, and Climate Change 3. Interview with Janet Laurence on Public Art and Ecology 4. The Brunel Lecture Part 2: Ecologies 5. Ecological Modernism and the Making of a New Working Class: Living in a "Cradle-to-Cradle" Master Plan 6. Back to the Garden: An Ecological History of the Atlantic Yards 7. Building Recombinant Ecologies: Triangulating Policy, Models, and Design 8. Ecologies, Assemblages, and the Patchwork CityPart 3: Resiliences 9. Design From the Ground Up 10. Constructive Dialogue: Community Building as a Tool of Social Change 11. Interview with Durganand Balsavar of Artes-Human Development Center 12. The Politics Of The Southeast Asian Smog Crises: A Classic Case of Rentier Capitalism at Work? 13. Designing Resilience: Sustainable Design from a Complex Systems Approach Part 4: Techniques 14. Technique is the Architecture of Sustainability 15. How is LEED Faring After Five Years in Use? 16. LEED After Ten Years 17. Interview with Christof Jantzen of Behnisch Architects 18. Reinventing the Wheels Part 5: Concepts 19. The Sustainability of Concepts: Knowledge and Human Interests 20. Undoing the Subject: The Makings of a Sustainable Life 21. Cultural Symbolizations of a Sustainable Future

Why Korn Is my favorite band?
That question, is easy. Korn from the start of their music, has spoken to me. The first album, to this last one. Every song, has had some kind of impact on me. The song Faget more than any other . It actually, saved my life. More than once. Since the very first time I heard the song, I fell in love. I have been listening to Korn for 5 almost 6 years. Seeing that I am only 15 almost 16, and you guys started around the time of my birth. . .I don't think I could have really known about you. With Head, with out Head, you are still my Favorite Band. Hands down, ever. With Disturbed in a very close second.
Another song that is great: My Gift To You

12/12/12 - Santiago to Pelluhue
Drivers in Satiago (or Chile) are just crazy. I don't know why their cars have blinkers because they sure don't get used. Swerving into other peoples lanes is more then acceptable even for large trucks. With the close proximity of cars in Santiago it's a real nail biter getting out of town.
Ruete 5 here in Chile is a lot like what you'd expected in California, Oregon, or Washington; it's flat, fast and boring as snot. There are some aspects that keep it interesting. There are a lot of people who run across the highway on foot, bicycle and many other versions of transportation. In the US, if someone is on the side of the highway that means there's something wrong. So, it took me a while to not freak out when I see people dashing across 6 lanes. I did see little groups of police officers hanging out on the side of the highway. I'm not exactly sure what they do or how/when they stop people. Parts of Ruete 5 are painted with arrows running down the road. These arrows are spaced apart such that if you keep two arrows between you and the next car then you'll be following at a safe distance. I don't think it helps the Chileans; for them 3 to 4 feet is plenty of following space.
We got off Ruete 5 at San Javier and took the back roads south west down to Cauquenes. This road was fun after being on Ruete 5. It had a couple of hill climbs and the asphalt was in perfect shape. Construction started about 20 miles outside of Cauquenes. In construction zones, it's more then okay to send cars through pretty bad dirt and mud. So I'm glad I was on a dual sport.
After Cauquenes we headed almost due west to Pelluhue. The speed limits here were very slow (40 Km/H) and if you follow the speed limit you will get run over by trucks hauling cut wood. We feel in behind one of those trucks and went way faster then we should have. In fact, I'm not sure I could have gone faster down that road then the truck.
We stopped at Curico for food and gas. Like most place we get a lot of looks when we roll through with the bikes. While my ride companions were in a grocery store, I had a little girl and her mother come up to me; well, more the little girl. She was very excited about touching the bikes and I was getting a little worried that she'd burn her hand. After acting outing burning one's hand the mother caught on and warned her little child after which she starting calling every part of the bike caliente (hot in Spanish). Her mother repeatedly tried to move her daughter away from the bikes and her daughter didn't until she was done. She had an odd affinity for the license plates which she traced multiple times with her finger. While in the same lot a motorcycliest coming down the road saw the bikes and cut up over the sidewalk (which is okay) though a bunch pedestrians at a bus stop (which is also okay) to come talk with me. Through a painful series of poor Spanish phrases on my part I was able to tell him I was from the US (he guessed Argetina), the bikes were mades by Suzuki, the sizes of the engines and our final destination. He shook my hand twice and rode back across the sidewalk to continue his own travels.

I tell you, we bloggers are really taking over the cultural sphere. We're interviewed in magazines, featured in TV shows, granted front row tickets to fashion shows, offered book deals and now we have a TV series about our beloved craft. LOOKBOOK: The Series is the story of Hannah who moves to Los Angeles in a bid to start a new life and enters the exciting world of fashion blogging. She meets Mark, a street style photographer and gets involved with him on a personal and creative basis. LOOKBOOK follows their relationship with is full of twists and turns. However not everything is not so rosy because Hannah soon meets the wrath of Cleo, who is not only Mark's ex muse but the uber queen of blogosphere who is not about to lose her crown or photographer to anyone. She and her sidekick, Julius come up with a devious plan to take Hannah down.
The series launched yesterday on LOOKBOOK.nu, which is a popular user generated personal style community that has been going since 2008. It is created by Bernie Su who worked on The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and produced by Allison Vanore who brought us Hopelessly in June. Su and Vanore use the concept of a dramatic urban fairytale which is told through the canvas of LOOKBOOK.nu and the L.A. fashion scene. The series consists of nine episodes which are between five to eight minutes long.
I love this! I love the idea of having a mini soap dedicated to fashion bloggers. I think it works because fashion has that fantasy feel to it as well as all the drama that is captivating a la The Devil Wears Prada. The street style aspect really adds the contemporary feel to it and the product placement makes it fun to watch. I will certainly be tuning into the next episode.
You can find more information about LOOKBOOK: The Series on the website.

The ongoing saga of Billy Lane, one of the most talented motorcycle builders of our generation has reached a new stage as he was sentenced to 6 years in the slammer with a 3 year probation to follow and a lifetime loss of license today.
I try not to delve too much into other peoples misfortunes but the facts are quite clear. Lane, 39, faced up to nine years in prison after a judge in June OK'd a plea deal in which prosecutors agreed to drop a charge of DUI manslaughter due to a Sept. 4, 2006, crash that left fellow biker Gerald Morelock dead.
Police said Lane's blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit when he crossed a double-yellow line to speed at 68 mph past three cars on State Road A1A south of Melbourne Beach. He crashed his Dodge pickup head on into 56-year-old Morelock's small Yamaha motorcycle.
Today Billy's lawyer plead his case focusing on the positive aspects of Billy's life and the public service he has done with children, the military, and local organizations. He emphasized the good that Billy can do and has done and his ability to reach out to the younger generation.
Billy spoke to the judge taking responsibility for his actions and got quite emotional regarding the killing of Gerry Morelock. He was surrounded by other bike builders and notable members of the motorcycle business. The support for him from his peers as-well-as the members of Mr. Morelock's family with whom he has built up a relationship was truly touching. However, in the end the fact remained that one man lost his life because of the lapse of judgment of another man.
I understand that other people have been in similar situations. A few months ago I lost a relative who was riding his motorcycle because someone ran him over. These tragedies hit our community all too often. Please keep this in mind next time you are in your cage and are driving distracted (read: drunk, on the cell, yelling at your kids, texting) and try to be more aware of cagers, or other potential hazards when you are on your bike.
I don't want to hear about you being in jail or winding up dead, you are all to important to me.

Is it genuine? All previous flash 11's were fake. They were 10's with the version number and some inconsequential files changed.
well, if i dont ask, i wont know.. thanks
Even 10.3 libs shouldn't exist for armv6, so having newer, while even armv7 support is being dropped... Not likely to happen at all.

On Monday, the Oakland school board will issue a resolution to support Assemblymember Sandre Swanson's latest attempt to end the state takeover. AB 791 would require State Superintendent Jack O'Connell to restore the last two areas of local governance — academic policy and finances — to the OUSD board by January 4 July 1, 2010.
In December, state auditors gave OUSD high enough ratings for O'Connell to cut the district loose, but he has yet to make a move. It's been almost six years since the takeover.

The Shabbat after Tisha B'Av is called Shabbat Nachamu, after the haftara that is read: "Nachamu, nachamu ami" (Be comforted, be comforted my people). Why is the word nachamu repeated? To offer consolation for both Temples, which were destroyed.
The word nachamu means comfort. God is saying: with all the hardships you and the rest of the world have gone through, you can still find the deepest of comfort inside yourself. Have you ever felt so sad that you thought you would never stop being sad? Did your dog die or did your best friend move away? But you didn't remain sad forever. You moved on -- you got a new dog; you visit your best friend in the summer. You learned that there was a deep part of you that could heal the pain.
Remember that next time you have lost something very close to you and you feel like you will never be whole again. The feeling won't last. You will "be comforted" and you will be happy again.

Gossip Girl
Top 5 OMG Moments From Gossip Girl Season 5, Episode 15: "Crazy, Cupid, Love"
It just wouldn't be our beloved Gossip Girl if every single episode didn't pack a serious, shocking punch! And with schemes aplenty, "Crazy, Cupid, Love" was just full of 'em!
Top five most OMG-inducing moments, comin' at ya...
Dan sent the video to Gossip Girl!
Okay, so no BIG surprise here, but the fact that it STILL hasn't come out publicly leads us to believe that this mystery is headed for one SUPA-unveil at some point. But when? And HOW? (Are we alone in thinking that this wedding was ruined so far before the vid was leaked that this whole mess is a little tired? Yeahhh...)
The dowry would bankrupt Eleanor.
Yes, if Blair breaks this contract with the royal goons, it's lights out on Eleanor's empire. Now we understand why she's locked herself in the silly arrangement, but still... isn't there SOME way out? There's gotta be! OH WAIT, THERE WAS: Chuck Bass. D'oh.
Lola knows Ivy...
And now she knows that Ivy has been playing her in her mother's schemey, creepy game. This could get good, but at the same time, part of us is wondering if poor Lola is just gonna run for the hills. She seems refreshingly no-nonsense... Which is exactly why we hope she doesn't!
CeCe is sick!
After Ivy figured out her pill-popping secret, CeCe apparently locked her in to be her main caregiver and confidante. Or something? Ivy's been away in the Hamptons dealing with her declining health, and Lily and Carol appear totally outta the loop. Weird? Weird.
Need we say more? Love the pairing or hate it, that kiss was H-O-T! No limo hook-up, but, you know... We imagine more goodness is on its way... (WE HOPE!)
Want more Gossip Girl goodness? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter! You know you love us. XOXO

More Bulletproofing with PHPUnit's Database Extension
In a previous article I discussed how you can create more robust code that queries your relational database through automated testing. But, as you know, querying is just one part of the picture. There are still other database operations, namely create, update, and delete. Just like retrieval, they too should be tested.
I'll be exploring the other features of PHPUnit's Database Extensions in this article while building on your knowledge of database testing in PHP. Specifically, the aim is:
- Learn how to test the result of an insert operation
- Use PHPUnit's Database assertion API to test the operation
I've written this article to be self-contained so that you won't have to read my first tutorial beforehand, but if you are new to Test Driven Development, I highly recommend you read it as well as the introduction to PHPUnit by Michelle Saver.
To follow along with this article, you'll need PHPUnit and the PHPUnit Database extension installed. Companion code can be found on GitHub; feel free to clone the source and play with it.
Setting Up
Like in my first article, we'll pretend that we're the back-end guru of a fictional web-based magazine. The magazine is composed of many sections, and each section has feature articles which are set by the editor of that section.
The first articles app lacked an implementation for saving an article to the database and this is the functionality we are going to test. We'll assume that there is already a web interface where our editors can write their articles and this will the call code that saves an article to the database. The only thing that is lacking is the implementation itself and, of course, the test. By making this assumption, we can isolate the behavior we want to test.
The first step is to use the database dump included in the source code to create the database in MySQL. Here's a bird's eye view:
The next step, since we are writing a database test, is to set up the data. After all, we need something to test the operations on! Create an XML file named
seed.xml, with the root element
dataset and some sample data. For example, here's how the file would look:
<dataset>
 <column>id</column> <column>name</column> <row> <value>1</value> <value>PHP</value> </row>

 <column>id</columm> ...
 </dataset>
I recommend you to write your own data just for practice, although you can always use the sample dataset in the GitHub repo. All the tables there are filled already.
Writing the Test Class
Every time you run the test, you need to clear and insert the initial data into the database. This is done by overriding some methods in a class that extends
<?php class ArticleDaoTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_TestCase { public function getConnection() { $pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=bulletproof", "root", "password"); return $this->createDefaultDBConnection($pdo, "bulletproof"); } public function getSetUpOperation() { // whether you want cascading truncates // set false if unsure $cascadeTruncates = false; return new PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_Operation_Composite(array( new PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_Operation_MySQL55Truncate($cascadeTruncates), PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_Operation_Factory::INSERT() )); } public function getDataSet() { return $this->createXMLDataSet("seed.xml"); } }
In the code above we overrode the
getConnection() method to tell the test class to connect to the database and then get the test data from the return of
getDataSet() method which we also overrode.
Each test will truncate the tables and repopulate them using
seed.xml to re-initialize the database. If you're using MySQL 5.5 or above, you may encounter a problem, since the
TRUNCATE command is not allowed for InnoDB tables that make use of foreign key constraints. To work around this restriction, we need to override its
getSetUpOperation() method.
PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_Operation_MySQL55Truncate class referenced in
getSetUpOperation() is a custom subclass of
PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_Operation_Truncate that overrides the
execute() method:
<?php class PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_Operation_MySQL55Truncate extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_Operation_Truncate { public function execute(PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_DB_IDatabaseConnection $connection, PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_DataSet_IDataSet $dataSet) { $connection->getConnection()->query("SET @PHAKE_PREV_foreign_key_checks = @@foreign_key_checks"); $connection->getConnection()->query("SET foreign_key_checks = 0"); parent::execute($connection, $dataSet); $connection->getConnection()->query("SET foreign_key_checks = @PHAKE_PREV_foreign_key_checks"); } }
As scary as it might look, the
execute() method just remembers MySQL's foreign keys setting, turns it off temporarily so the
TRUNCATE command can proceed, and then restores the setting.
Writing Your Test
Now it's time to get our hands dirty writing the test itself. Suppose we agree on the following update for the
IArticleDao interface:
<?php interface IArticleDao { // here is the new method for saving public function save($article); // already implemented in the first article public function getArticles($sectionId); }
The first test to write is the test for saving an article. It should ensure that the data of the article goes to the correct columns in the
articles table.
<?php class ArticleDaoTest extends PHPUnit_Extension_Database_TestCase { ... public function testSaveArticle() { $article = new ArticleDAO(); $article->save(array( "title" => "PHP is Great!", ... )); $resultingTable = $this->getConnection() ->createQueryTable("articles", "SELECT * FROM articles"); $expectedTable = $this->createXmlDataSet( "expectedArticles.xml") ->getTable("articles"); $this->assertTablesEqual($expectedTable, $resultingTable); } }
First we instantiate an instance of
ArticleDAO and then call the new
save() method we are testing and pass in the associative array representing the article. After we have saved the article, we want to check if the data has been saved correctly. We query for the contents of the table and place them in instance of a
With the results of our
save() operation in
$resultingTable, we have to compare it with an expected data set. But where do we get this expected data set? From the method
createXmlDataSet() and the XML file
getTable() method indicates we only want to get the contents of the
articles table since this is the one we want to compare against our
The final step would then be to compare the
$resultingTable and
$expectedTable which is done by feeding both variables to the
assertTablesEqual() method.
The setup of the data set in
expectedArticles.xml is the same as our
seed.xml; here's an example:
<dataset>
 <column>id</column> <column>title</column> ... <row> <value>1</value> <value>PHP is Great!</value> ... </row>
 </dataset>
Passing the Tests
In Test Driven Development, failure is the first step. If you run the test now it will fail because we haven't written the implementation yet.
jeune@Miakka:~/bulletproofing$ phpunit ArticleTest.php PHPUnit 3.6.7 by Sebastian Bergman. PHP Fatal error: Class ArticleDAO contains 1 abstract method and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (IArticleDAO::save) in /bulletproofing/ArticleDao.php on line 12
The next step is to write the code that will let us pass the test (that is, save an article to the database). Let's implement the method that was added to our
IArticleDAO interface.
<php class ArticleDAO implements IArticleDAO { ... public function save($article) { $db = new PDO( "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=bulletproof", "root", "password"); $stmt = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO articles (title, description, content, preview_image, section_id) value (:title, :description, :content, :preview_image, :section_id)"); $stmt->execute($article); return true; } }
Now if we run things again, we should see a passing test.
jeune@Miakka:~/Bulletproofing$ phpunit ArticleTest.php PHPUnit 3.6.7 by Sebastian Bergman. . Time: 0 seconds, Memory: 3.00Mb OK (1 test, 1 assertion)
In this tutorial we've seen how to write a database test of an insert operation in PHP using PHPUnit's Database Extension. The technique presented in this tutorial should also work for delete and update operations.

Product Reviews
Christopher5 Stars Out Of 5March 13, 2011ChristopherQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Vyhmeister's book is simply outstanding. My professor recommended this book to me for my undergraduate research paper and it has been an invaluable resource for me. It specifically examines and explains how to source citations in footnotes or a bibliography in both Turabian and APA formats, with examples. Vyhmeister explains how to do research, create a Table of Contents, and how to write a paper (for students of religion and theology). It includes four appendices, a selected bibliography and index. I recommend this book for those who are writing a thesis; however, for those of you with a low budget, your school library should have a copy.

The covered wagon is an icon of the American Old West. Although covered wagons were commonly used for shorter moves within the United States, in the mid-nineteeth century thousands of Americans took them across the plains to Oregon and California. Overland emigrants typically used farm wagons, fitting them with five or six wooden bows that arched from side to side across the wagon bed, then stretching canvas or some other sturdy cloth over the bows, creating the cylindrical cover.
Covered wagons were primarily used to transport goods. Small children, the elderly, and the sick or injured rode in them, but since the wagons had no suspension and the roads were rough, many people preferred to walk, unless they had horses to ride.
While covered wagons traveling short distances on good roads could be drawn by horses, those crossing the plains were usually drawn by a team of two or more pairs of oxen. These were driven by a teamster or drover, who walked at the left side of the team and directed the oxen with verbal commands and whipcracks. Mules were also used; they were harnessed and driven by someone sitting in the wagon seat holding the reins.
One covered wagon generally represented five people. A well-to-do family might have two or three wagons, or a group of single men traveling together might share a wagon. While crossing the plains, emigrants banded together to form wagon trains for mutual assistance and occasionally defense.
Prairie schooner is a fanciful name for the covered wagon; the white canvas covers of the wagons crossing the prairies reminded some writers of the sails of a ship at sea.

Hagan defeated titleholders from all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Several of her competitors had grabbed headlines this year because of their backstories.
Miss District of Columbia plans to undergo a preventive double mastectomy to reduce her risk of breast cancer, which killed her mother and grandmother.
Miss Montana was the pageant's first autistic contestant. Miss Iowa has Tourette's syndrome. And Miss Maine lost more than 50 pounds before winning her state crown.
During the opening number at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, when all the queens gave short quips about their states, Hagan referenced last year's superstorm, saying, "Sandy may have been swept away our shores but never our spirit."
The pageant, which started as little more than an Atlantic City bathing suit revue, broke viewership records in its heyday and bills itself as one of the world's largest scholarships programs for women.
But like other pageants, the show has struggled to stay relevant as national attitudes regarding women's rights have changed. More recently, the rise of reality television has provided a superabundance of options for Americans interested in seeing attractive young people in competitive pursuits.
Hagan's boyfriend Charmel Maynard said he knows that pageants are dismissed by some, but he hopes Hagan's willingness to take on the sexual abuse issue will lend legitimacy to her new role.
"I don't think it's taken seriously, but I think she's going to be a great ambassador and it could change," he said.

North Carolina NAACP leader William Barber is defending remarks he made about South Carolina Senator Tim Scott. In January, Barber said Scott is a dummy and implied Scott isn't "black enough" because of his ties to the Tea Party.
"A ventriloquist can always find a good dummy," Barber said. "The extreme right wing down here (in South Carolina) finds a black guy to be senator and claims he's the first black senator since Reconstruction and then he goes to Washington, D.C., and articulates the agenda of the tea party."
Leaders from the national NAACP have refused to comment on Barber's remarks.
Conservative David Webb went to North Carolina over the weekend to confront Barber, who said it is his duty to "tell the truth" about people like Scott, who is the first black Senator since Reconstruction. Webb also asked attendants at a march organized by the NAACP why they think the Tea Party is racist. As usual, marchers couldn't give any specific examples.
Senator Scott responded to Barber's initial comments last week on Greta Van Susteren's show, saying the left is terrified of black conservatives.

Home > Accessories > Radcollector x Hex | A Day at SHUT
As part of our ongoing series with Hex, we recently headed over to our local skate shop SHUT Skate Mechanics on Orchard street in the LES to kick it with our man Michael Cohen. The best thing about SHUT is that you never know who might show up on any given day. On this particular day we had none other than Trevor aka Trouble Andrew and Taji Ameen in the house. Trouble had stopped by to lace up his new coffin deck with a set of Tracker Racetracks, 62mm Bennett Wheels and some Bones Reds while Taji was in the neighborhood shooting for Vice and his site Tajiameen.com. Brad Clarke documented the day, check out his edit after the jump.

A Dutch mariner challenged the devil to pass the Cape of Good Hope. He
succeeded but was cursed to sail forever, landing only once in seven
years. He and his crew could be saved only by a woman who would be
faithful to him until death. He has never found her. The opera opens in
Norway where the Dutchman is going to make one of his visits to land.
Senta, the daughter of a sailing captain, is obsessed with the story of
the Flying Dutchman. Her father, interested only in the Dutchman's
wealth and not knowing his identity, agrees to give her to him. She is
ecstatic, as is the Dutchman, and the two pledge eternal love. Later,
the Dutchman hears her reject a suitor, Erik, who claims that she had
agreed to marry him. Disillusioned and fearing that Senta will treat him
as she apparently treated Erik, the Dutchman announces his departure.
Senta, faithful until death, plunges into the sea, and the Dutchman and
his crew are released from their torment.

Child Labor Operation Shut Down
Dominic Serino, 9, and his neighbor, Ryan Decker, 11, were forced Saturday to shut down their lemonade stand at Salem Common after an employee of a nearby sausage vendor called police, complaining that the boys were hurting his sales.
The budding entrepreneurs had to call it quits, under orders by some reluctant police officers. The boys, after all, did not have a license, and rules are rules. The two packed up and trudged home.

Maybe trying to sell lemonade on a cul-de-sac wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Where do Foodies or Locavores eat in Tampa Bay Area?
Take a peek at Laura Reiley's column/condensed review in the Tampa Bay Times today - top 50 local restos in the area. I will personally recommend all, though we haven't tried Ava or Rooster.
Thank you everyone for the thoughtful responses - they booked Ladder 1 (the old firehouse) for their meal. My Mom grew up in Barre so it's kind of a special historical treat!
Jul 11, 2014cflynn in Northern New England
Thanks Rizzo and Morganna - we appreciate your help!
Jun 25, 2014cflynn in Northern New England
Figured I'd hear from you first M! Yes, it's a high school reunion (my parents) and a pretty tight schedule. Looked at two other places that didn't quite meet their expectations. Any help is appreciated!
Jun 23, 2014cflynn in Northern New England
Best farmer's markets/ farm stands?
Great suggestions all around - we find the Stowe market (route 108) on Sunday mornings excellent as well. It's a little early for produce right now however
Jun 22, 2014cflynn in Northern New England
Looking for a reunion-friendly place and need help! Mid August, food is priority and would prefer a quiet environment. Cornerstone is booked unfortunately. Any thoughts?
Jun 22, 2014cflynn in Northern New England
Where can I buy large quantities (an amount resulting in 8 cups of leaves or more) of basil anywhere in an arc from Ft. Myers to Plant City to Tarpon Springs?
Faithful Farms in Palmetto (just south of the Skyway) should have what you need
Chinese Food - Pinellas County
I will add a few to the above, plus a suggestion:
Ha Long Bay (Chinese and dim sum plus Vietnamese)
Thanks for reporting back on your findings...
Wahoo's on Redington Beach had them last week - they taste like lobster! Bonus points given for serving them head-on
Where can I eat in the Franconia NH area?
Absolutely second the vote on Sugar Hill for food and ambiance though the children may get a bit restless during length of service.

New Vietnamese restaurant Sarasota - any Chow reports?
Had pho bo there the last couple of times - ask for the steak on the side if you want it rare; haven't had a banh mi from JR in a while because I'm stuck on the grilled pork one from Miss Saigon down the street.
New Vietnamese restaurant Sarasota - any Chow reports?
EDIT - west side of 41 and named Leanh's; had the pork banh mi today (excellent). Will post a more thorough report soon.
New Vietnamese restaurant Sarasota - any Chow reports?
New place on west side of 301, couple miles North of downtown; thanks
What's one great place for lunch in St. Pete near the museums?
Two rec's Rona: directly across Beach Drive - Parkshore Grill is excellent and it's still cool enough here to sit outside and enjoy the park/water view; Z Grille - couple blocks south and very worth the trip - Zach is a former JB nominated chef and the atmosphere is fun, food is phenomenal. Best thing to do nearby - come visit our beaches!
Wahoos on the Beach, Redington
Re opening today
Sarasota - hard shell Maine lobsters 5.99/pound
Update - got 4 perfect lively lobsters and a pound of steamers today - just as great as the last time there.
La V - Vietnamese fusion St. Pete
Great new addition to downtown - we had two versions of pho bo and the house special Da Nang noodle soup. Both were served with the traditional sprouts, veg and herbs. The Da Nang was an awesome alternative to a traditional pho - wide noodles with a pungent briny seafood broth - a really amazing flavor. Excellent service from the wait staff. Great Boba also.
Good produce selection in Indian Rocks Beach?
Try Graham's Produce on 54th Ave North - it's probably 20 minutes away from IRB and definitely worth the trip
Downtown St Petersburg - Mahaffey Theater dinner recs needed ASAP
Agreed on the above suggestions, but ZGrille gets my vote - James Beard nominee and cool atmosphere
Returning to Key West after 40 years
Unfortunately Nola, KW is quite different from the 70's - actually very different from the early 80's when I first started my summer long trips there. Some of the old salts still haunt the old places, and the parrot still roams the bar (different bird tho). Positive sign is the growing food scene in Bahama Village - less touristy than old town with great food. Please let us know your findings
Restaurant recommendations in New Hampshire and Vermont
We just returned from Stowe and as previous Hounds have posted, reservations are a must at the better places. We dined at Hen and Blue Moon - both excellent and well worth planning for.
Foliage is in full swing after the cold front Saturday with best views in the sheltered mountain valleys and mid-mountain; best views yesterday were in the Smugglers Notch/Mountain road area.

Sarasota Inkanto Authentic Peruvian Cuisine
Tried it for lunch yesterday with a biz colleague of Cuban descent - we both agreed the food quality was topnotch. The place is extremely comfortable inside and waitstaff must be part of the family - incredibly knowledgeable about the food and wine. Don't miss the yucca app - perfectly fried and tender, almost like eating a jumbo French fry and served with 3 wonderful dipping sauces. Went the healthy route and ordered the marinated grilled shrimp salad which was excellent as well. Next time will be dinner with my wife to try their wines. Try it soon, hopefully their volume will pick up.
Sarasota - hard shell Maine lobsters 5.99/pound
AND they were sweet! Looking forward to the bisque with the leftovers
Sarasota - hard shell Maine lobsters 5.99/pound
Very interesting to hear Juli - their sign out front read 'firm shells - 5.99' and that drew me in; never squeezed them as I was seeking the smaller ones. Just gave the chix the squeeze test and they are certainly not hard shell and not softies either - kind of in between. A summer lobster for sure. Enjoy!
Sarasota - hard shell Maine lobsters 5.99/pound
At Boothbay Lobster Direct on Hillview, just west of 41. I got 5 chix 1-1/4# each as a special for $30 - real nice and lively. Time to take advantage of the fishery glut!
Lunch at Isan Thai in Sarasota today
So I broke out the usual Vietnamese routine for lunch today and tried Isan today - it was excellent quality food: prepared to order fresh rolls with shrimp, Panang curry with tons of veg - served 'Thai hot' as I asked, which usually happens only after visting a place a few times. Really flavorful as well. Great service and authentic setting. Definitely the go-to Thai place in Sarasota!
Romantic restaurant in lido beach/Sarasota area?
Without a doubt, the Beach Bistro is the place - its just up the road on Anna Maria
Sparta NC - a culinary desert?
Ok, we found a jewel in the rough - River Rock Grill in downtown Sparta, maybe 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance. Craving steak, the hotelier suggested this and called for us. A winner for food quality with excellent filets and a very awesome crab cake special. We are Florida folks and know our cakes, and these were outstanding - very little filling and lots sweet crab and no veg mixed in. Nice to see the 'standard' sides were yellow and green squash with red bell pep and not a fried accompaniment. Twice baked potatoes were excellent as well, as was the micro brew and wine selection. Low-key place with a pretty vast bar-ish menu, but you can't go wrong with the specials as Coach told us!
Sparta NC - a culinary desert?
Hello fellow 'hounders - we're heading to Sparta for a property buy this weekend, previous trips have shown nada/zero in quality food. Can you help? Promise to report results. Thanks!
After two recent vists in too long, the food, service and artistry still remains TOP of the food chain in Tampa. First recent meal we sat at requested window table facing south as it was a Saturday night and wished for a quiet, conversational meal - and it was. 'Get Blitzed' tasting menu with excellent pairings served by a trio of educated staff. Highlights: tempura oysters - possibly the lightest, tastiest fried thing I've ever eaten; tuna carpaccio with truffle; risotto with Maine lobster; perfectly prepared filet.
Wednesday's dinner was a planned small plates affair for three of us - tuna carpaccio again (great), cornmeal oysters - slightly heavier and served with a rich aioli and tomatoes; charcuterie plate - all great, highlight was the foie served in a tiny mason jar that didn't really need the currant jam on top but wow still; lobster poutine - better this time than last - yes it's slightly heavy, but a small plate; arugula and beet salad. Several others were good but not highlight worthy. Wonderful kicker was Chef Marty signing the menu for our special guest! The atmosphere is really laid back cool, in contrast to the linen and Riedel glassware.

The worst airline fees for 2012
Don't Waste Your Money
If you're flying this summer, especially with your family, get ready to be nickel and dimed with fees.
Boarding fees, preferred seating fees, baggage fees: wait till you see how much these can end up adding to the cost of your flight.
It started 5 years ago with fees for checked bags. Most travelers have adapted to that one.
CNN and Fox News travel expert Andrea Woroch says the fees are now getting out of hand. New fees include:
--Spirit Airlines $25 carry on bag fee.
--American's fee of $19 to pre board with children.
--US Airways $25 frequent flier seat booking fee.
--Many airlines: now charging more for seats with extra legroom.
Doesn't That Stink?
And from the doesn't that stink file, the newest gotcha fee for travelers: the international lap baby fee.
While infants still fly free on most flights within the US, on international flights parents will now pay 10 percent to 25 percent of a ticket. That means $250 to $500 in many cases.
Many parents are saying "doesn't that stink."
Of course, safety experts say mom's lap is the most unsafe place for a baby, and suggest buying a ticket and a car seat.
My advice? If you are flying with kids or with a group, check with the airline in advance to get an idea of the extra fees you may be facing, especially if you have kids and have a lot of luggage.
That way you're not surprised and you don't waste your money.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
2003 Ford Mustang Cobra Mach 1 Hybrid
Jeff Foster Didn't Buy A Prius-He Proved Out His Own Hybrid
A hybrid is the combination of two or more things aimed at achieving a goal. These days of political correctness and societal responsibility, the term hybrid has taken on a fuel-conserving connotation with the combination of an electric motor and a conventional combustion engine. Obviously, the fuel saving effects of this type of hybrid are to be applauded, but we prefer Jeff Foster's take on hybrid vehicles.
His story begins with his mom. Not because she's his mom, but because she is the one that introduced him to Mustangs. For most of us, our love for Mustangs comes from a male role model, but Jeff's mom was all he had for most of his upbringing. "I remember her telling me we were going to buy a race car," Jeff says. He was 8 years old when his mother purchased a '68 Mustang coupe as a daily driver. The Mustang would serve in that capacity for many, many years-without A/C-in Florida. "With a single mom, things were tight," Jeff says, "but I never knew it."
Jeff now realizes the Mustang was sort of an economy car for them back then, and in a small part, allowed her to provide the things needed to get by. The '68 would eventually serve as Jeff's high-school car, but thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, he sold it for his next Mustang. He has since been able to buy back his mom's Mustang, and says he won't sell it again. Good man.
In his adult life, Jeff has owned a few Mustangs, but when it came time to purchase another 'Stang, like the rest of us, he wanted a '03-'04 Cobra. However, this Mach caught his eye. It was already modified, featuring a stroker short-block and an FR500 intake, which briefly reached rock-star status in the Mustang world. Jeff felt limited by natural aspiration, so he sold off the stroker short-block and the FR500 intake. Using the existing heads that came on the stroker engine and the proceeds from selling the short-block and intake, Jeff built a new bottom end and purchased the Whipple 2.3-liter supercharger you see in the pictures.
The block and crankshaft actually came out of the Cobra of his wife, Virginia, as did the transmission and wheels. Jeff and Virginia bought the '01 Cobra as a project car, and a good portion of that car's drivetrain ended up in the Mach. Jeff added Manley Performance rods and CP pistons to the short-block before bolting on the Mach 1 heads, along with the existing cam covers. Atop the long-block is perched the Whipple, made possible by a huge list of '03-'04 Cobra-specific parts to make the swap "easier."
However, Jeff still had a long way to go. To swap a Whipple onto an '03-'04 Cobra is electronically easier, but to install one on another year Cobra is a challenge. What Jeff found out during his swap is that the '03-'04 Cobra utilizes two IAT sensors, whereas Mach 1s and other non-Cobra Mustangs only have one. For the Cobra, one IAT sensor reads ambient temperature, while the other reads air temperature after it's been pressurized and it's located in the blower housing. Jeff says, "Tuners use that second sensor to know how and where to apply fuel, and more importantly, pull timing based on air temp." Mach 1s only have the IAT sensor in the mass air meter housing, so Jeff had to relocate that sensor's wiring to connect to the IAT sensor in the blower housing, and tune accordingly. "You need a tune that basically makes the computer more or less think like a Cobra," Jeff says.

Do you wake up sleepy after long sleep or just want to feel fresh after short nap? Waking up during sleep phase makes you feel tired. sleepPhaseAlarm helps in waking up between sleep phases. It will propose you the best hour to wake up or will help you to choose when to fall asleep. Healthy sleep consists of 5 - 6 sleep phases. 1 sleep phase lasts approx. 1.5h. @updated version: * layout updated * bugs fixed * new alarm sounds
11/5/2011Works fine for my focus on mango. FYI the trial only lets you use the sleep now function. Settings and other options are locked. Poor trial but it's a decent app.
10/13/2011Really need custom ringtones or better ones. Who wants to wake up to a drill?
10/11/2011It would also help if you could find it when you search on sleep in the marketplace!
10/10/2011Not a very good trial. Wouldn't work on venue pro with mango. Looks promising tho.
10/9/2011It works, I don't see anything broken I bought it 2-3 days ago and used it everyday
10/7/2011Trial is broken. Can't access settings
10/7/2011Alarms are obnoxious. Doesn't run in background on my Samsung Focus with Mango, so it doesn't even work. However it's good to use for setting the WP7 built-in alarm app.
10/7/2011Not working in trial
10/7/20114 stars everything good besides two things.....the alarm sounds...(enable music from the phone) and more background themes

City Clerk Says Voter Turnout A Tricky One To Predict
The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board is predicting voter turnout of 20 percent for the Spring Election tomorrow. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Lacrosse City Clerk Terri Lehrke says this election is a hard one to predict.....so extra ballots have been brought in.
Voters statewide will be electing a Supreme Court justice. Locally, they will be electing circuit court judges as well as town, village, city, county and school board officials. Voters will also have special partisan primary elections for the May 3rd Special Election, in which vacant seats will be filled in Assembly Districts 94.
Lehrke says a 30 percent turnout is her gut feeling but ordered enough ballots to cover a 43 percent turnout.

The subtly-titled Killer Bitch, released tomorrow, is being marketed to accentuate the negatives, and its Campbeltown-born executive producer John Fleming revels in promoting the movie's woefulness.
Loading article content
It's part of a strategy which hopes that awful reviews will be a godsend to fire the imaginations of those curious to see it … an attempt to exploit the "so bad it's good" school of cinephiles.
The movie sees the big-screen debut of Celebrity Big Brother winner, cage fighter and Z-list celebrity Alex Reid, aka Mr Katie Price. He stars in the movie even though he quit halfway through after Ms Price, aka Jordan – model, mother and 21st-century phenomenon – saw a graphic sex scene in which he was involved.
The movie's promoters, with the Scot at the helm, are happy to stoke the furore: denying that Reid was in a rape scene but explaining that the British Board of Film Classification's censors were so unhappy about the movie's sexual content after four separate screenings that the controversial Reid sex scene was at risk of being removed from the film altogether.
In the end the whole movie was passed uncut and given a plain old 18 certificate.
Mr Fleming, who put up all the money for the film, said: "If critics say it is the most appalling film ever made in the entire history of the world, then obviously that's good publicity. If on the shelf it says this film is 'vile and appalling' people will pick it up and buy it.
"I don't mind if people say it's great, I don't mind if people say it is bad, but what I don't want is indifference."
Not one to play down any potential selling-points, Mr Fleming says the movie features real violence, real gangsters and real hardcore sex scenes.
Although the film premieres on Thursday – at an event featuring the same real gangsters, real boxers, real "busty babes" but no real Alex Reid – it will never get near your multiplex. It has gone straight to DVD.
Mr Fleming knows his "crap movie" history pretty well. He says his flick cost more than the £45 legend has it was spent making the shockingly bad British zombie movie Colin, and less than £100,000, the usual price tag on the bog-stardard schlock B-movie.
The publicity surrounding Killer Bitch has certainly been unreal.
Reid was signed up for a pittance as an unknown cage fighter, but then the movie Gods smiled on the production team and Reid started dating Katie Price. They smiled again when he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this year and won.
The resulting publicity, ecstatically spun by the film's producers, was like blood to a starved vampire.
Then Jordan took exception in the tabloids to outdoor sex scenes Reid shot with co-star Yvette Rowland, and the row made headlines around the world.
One Indian newspaper called it "violent porn", Australia's Perth Now labelled it "a vile and degrading movie", and the New York Daily News observed that "the film's producers don't seem bothered by the publicity" … the understatement of the decade, if Mr Fleming's tactics are considered, as every shameful review is worn as a badge of honour by the producers.
One national newspaper described it as the "shoddiest excuse for a film I've seen in my life" while holymoly.com said: "Alex Reid's film Killer Bitch is the worst film ever made".
Despite revelling in bad taste and bad reviews, Mr Fleming and his team are happy to take any plaudits that come along. Film magazine Gore Zone gave it five stars, saying it was "Grand Theft Auto meets I Spit on your Grave" while Heat magazine wrote: "The fast-cut sex and violence ... is unexpectedly avant-garde".
The executive producer, who plays an OAP wantonly slaughtered in the movie, said: "I worked as a researcher on populist programmes like Tiswas, Game for a Laugh, Surprise Surprise and latterly bizarre comedy programmes.
"I think Killer Bitch is populist entertainment sold to the widest possible market. It's not going to win a Bafta but it is very commercially made, maybe overly commercially made."
The list of underworld characters who play themselves in the movie is meant to give the film added notoriety. The cast includes Mitch Pyle, son of the gangster Joey Pyle, Roy Shaw, the armed robber turned bare-knuckle fighter, and former drug smuggler Howard Marks.
When Reid, who had the lead role, dropped out, it meant the script had to be rewritten "to make sense of what had become a nonsensical plot".
And that meant a bigger role for Jason Marriner, former leader of the notorious Chelsea Headhunters, who was jailed for six years for hooliganism.
