Happy Mother's Day to My Wife Nanci and Our Daughters Karina and Angie
I am deeply grateful to the Lord for my wife Nanci and for our daughters Karina and Angie! Nanci is a great mom, and a fantastic grandma. I look at Karina and Angie now as moms who are in their thirties—the mothers of my grandsons—and I am just delighted to see their hearts for Christ and the ways God has gifted them.

Holiday Cooking Heirarchy (Love and Latkes)
Today's post is in honor of the Jewish high holidays that of the past few weeks, the traditional Jewish wedding I'm planning and my future Jewish wife-hood (did I mention I'm Jewish?).
Now, what comes hand in hand with Jewish holidays is, of course, food and for the case of the specific story I'm about to tell — the most traditional of all, matzah ball soup! For my entire life, the matzah balls have always been made by my great aunt Tia Adela and my mom. They are a strong two-woman team who didn't need help from anyone else. Every holiday as far back as I can remember, as soon as everyone arrives, the matzah ball cooking commences and once they go into the pot to cook, we sit down for course number one. I have always wanted to help with this, especially in recent years as I've become a more proficient cook. I also love the idea of learning family recipes and storing them for later use to teach my future children about our traditions.
I was home in Florida for Rosh Hashana (the Jewish New Year) two weeks ago to celebrate with my family and the most exciting thing happened! I moved up the holiday cooking hierarchy and was allowed to help with the matzah balls. Now, for my sister and me, the most we've ever been allowed to do is help bring food to and from the table and maybe make a dessert, so this was a major promotion.
As I helped stir the mix, my aunt told me all about adding a little of this and a little of that (no standard measuring units here!) and I started to learn the process, to my sister Sam's chagrin. She finally asked why I was allowed to help all of a sudden and the answer was because I'm getting married so I have to learn. Sam took this in stride and it was even her idea that I write this as a post.
So this got me thinking, who else out there has now been allowed to do certain things now that they are engaged? I'd love to hear from you on what family traditions are now passed down, if any, or if in your family, it's just an age thing, not a marital status thing? Chime in in the comments!

Heroin Strikes Again
Heroin has taken, yet, two more lives. This time in Tomah.
According to
Tomah Police, the two people found dead in a Tomah home in October died as the result of a heroin overdose. Lt. Ron Waddell says that heroin was found in 35 year old Michael Bobak and 25 year old Tracey Small. Toxicology reports were just completed on the pair. Both were found in a residence at 511 North Glendale Avenue on October 8th.
Waddell says that investigators are now trying to find out where either Bobak or Small got the heroin. Anyone with information is asked to contact Tomah Police.

Aggies ready for first true road test in SEC
OCT 03, 2012 2:25p ET
Texas A&M has already achieved some nice accomplishments in its first year under Kevin Sumlin.
The Aggies are on a three-game winning streak, are coming off their first-ever Southeastern Conference victory last weekend over Arkansas and have one of the hottest quarterbacks in the country in redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel.
What the Aggies haven't done yet is gone on the road and won a game in hostile territory. They'll have a chance to do that Saturday night when they travel to Oxford, Miss., for their first road SEC game against Ole Miss
It's something the Aggies (3-1, 1-1 SEC) are looking forward to.
"We're anxious to get there," said Sumlin, whose team's lone road game so far was at SMU and featured as much maroon as red, white and blue. "We don't do any different preparation for that. Good teams are able to handle road and away games.
Playing on the road is always going to be difficult. The better the competitor you are, those environments are the kind you want to play in. We have a new staff, new team. We'll see how these guys handle it."
Ole Miss (3-2, 0-1) should present a solid test for the Aggies. The Rebels have lost their last two games but they were to Texas and No. 1-ranked Alabama. The Rebels played Alabama tough last weekend before falling 33-14.
The key Saturday could come down to the quarterbacks. Ole Miss is still undecided about who will start Saturday. Sophomore Bo Wallace, who has been the starter this season, has lost some practice time to junior Barry Brunetti and the Rebels won't name their starter until Thursday.
The Aggies are preparing for whatever Ole Miss does.
"Our defense and our preparation have been pretty tedious this week with all the formations, all the shifts, motions, things like that," Sumlin said. "The ability to adjust on the fly shouldn't be as difficult for us as it is for some. They're well coached. They know what they're doing. They know what they're doing with that offense."
So do the Aggies.
Texas A&M average more than 100 yards passing per game than the Rebels and Manziel has been the reason. He was the SEC Offensive Player of the wWeek following the 58-10 rout of Arkansas last weekend.
Texas A&M average more than 100 yards passing per game than the Rebels and Manziel has been the reason. He was the SEC Offensive Player of the wWeek following the 58-10 rout of Arkansas last weekend.
Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze knows his team has to find a way to slow Manziel down.
"I don't know that you can ever stop it," Freeze said. "They know what they're doing and do it very, very well. Having a quarterback in Manziel that extends plays as good as any I've ever seen in this game, he not only extends them but makes positive outcomes of the ones he does extend is a very, very difficult task. Hopefully we can come up with a plan that at least limits their quick scores."

We've launched a television ad in Virginia's 5th Congressional District.
"Record unemployment is devastating Virginia," says the ad's narrator. "Even Iraq and Afghanistan veterans face unemployment over 20 percent. But Robert Hurt consistently opposed extending unemployment benefits. He even said that if he were in Congress, he would have voted against extending federal unemployment benefits. An extension the Martinsville Bulletin called 'a lifeline' for people in Virginia. Hurt voted against helping our workers, our veterans and our families - maybe it's time to vote against Hurt."
SEIU's new television ad focuses on Robert Hurt's stance on unemployment benefits because it is an issue that resonates with hard-working families who live in the district.
"I'm a union member from Virginia's 5th congressional district," said Thomasine Wilson, a home care worker with SEIU Local 5 - VAPCA in Charlottesville, Va. "Times are tough. Dollars aren't stretching as far as they used to. I know so many in my hometown who are unemployed. Robert Hurt voted against helping those who are trying to find work. That's why I am voting for Tom Perriello."
SEIU COPE, which is paying for the ad, is funded by about 300,000 SEIU members who voluntarily contribute about $7 per month to have their voice heard in the political process.

Off the mark in N. Korea
Jonathan Power (Powers World) / 30 December 2011
The pundits and diplomats are right: transition after the death of Kim Jong-il in North Korea could well produce an unstable and frightening situation. Kim Jong-un, the son of the dear leader, is too young to dominate the military and chief advisors as his father and grandfather did. There will be power struggles. Anything can happen depending on who gets the upper hand. This nuclear weapon-armed power is worrying to behold.
But on everything else the comments of outsiders have been way off the mark. Do they forget so easily America's stance in the long negotiations with the North — negotiations that began during the presidency of Bill Clinton, arguably his one foreign policy near success?
After seven years of erratic US policies under President George W. Bush — met by equally erratic and bellicose North Korean ones — the Bush administration's negotiations ended up achieving almost the same as Clinton's.
Well, not quite back to where the Clinton administration had to leave off. Since then North Korea has more than tripled the amount of nuclear weapons' material in store. Worse, it has exploded two nuclear bombs and probably has enough material for half a dozen more. This must count as one of President George W. Bush's worst foreign policy feats. Commitments made in tense but productive negotiations were not honoured (and the Republican majority in Congress in Clinton's time also torpedoed commitments made by the administration).
Bush's first Secretary of State, Colin Powell, was made a fool of. After he declared that the new administration would try and complete the work of its predecessor, Powell was publicly repudiated. The insider work of vice-president Richard Cheney and secretary of defence Donald Rumsfeld pulled the rug from beneath him. Even at the one time when Bush tried to take a more positive approach, second-tier officials working in committee at the inter-agency level managed to deflect it - such is the power of the senior bureaucracy. Fortunately, the negotiations were salvaged by secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, who took personal charge of the negotiations and empowered a skilful principal negotiator, Christopher Hill, to burrow through the labyrinthine confusion and misunderstandings that were now heaped one on top of the other. The force and frequency of US negotiating offers were stepped up. Pyongyang's twists and turns and often appalling misbehaviour were more tolerated. In September 2005, the US formally offered a non-aggression pledge and an offer, in principle, to normalise relations.
The Rice/Hill push continued forward. Fuel aid and food were offered as carrots. Surprisingly, the offer bore fruit. The North agreed to disable its nuclear weapons and other important facilities at its Yongbyon nuclear complex. It also said it would allow back both US and UN inspectors. But when Washington stalled on removing the North from its terrorism list Pyongyang also stalled.
Washington capitulated on the terrorism list. A deal was made, with the added bonus of the North agreeing to open up undeclared sites as well, but with the proviso that inspections were agreed to by 'mutual consent', leaving Pyongyang a card to play. It played it — over the question of how the US could verify what North Korea had agreed to, in particular the questions the US had over the suspected building of a uranium enrichment plant, which could be an alternative source of bomb-producing material to the plutonium facility it had agreed to renounce.
The negotiations came to a shuddering halt when North Korea carried out a second nuclear test. Later it revealed that it had indeed built a nuclear enrichment plant, albeit at that time only enriching uranium to the low requirements of producing electricity not bombs. However, despite the war talk, it said it agreed to allow the inspectors of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect the enrichment plant. The Obama administration is going to have its work cut out to resurrect serious negotiations. But the alternative of letting more time pass by is not an option.

It's not a policy election. It's a philosophy election.
Click here to listen to the broadcast of You Tell Me on KTBB AM & FM, Friday, Oct. 28, 2011.
The three Republican front-runners are now each out with tax proposals. Herman Cain has been selling his 9-9-9 plan. Rick Perry came out this week with a plan centered on a flat 20 percent tax rate. Mitt Romney has had for some time a 160 page, 59-point manifesto on taxes and the economy.
None, in my opinion, has yet touched many hearts nor quickened many pulses.
That's because more and more Americans are coming to realize that our problems are much, much deeper than policy. What's in play in this election is philosophy. And that makes it more like a constitutional convention than a political election.
When the country was born, the founders argued vehemently about where to draw the line on the limits of government. If the limits were set too narrowly, the government would be too weak and would thus be ineffectual and the union would fail. But if given too much latitude, the resulting government would, by the very nature of government, tend toward the tyranny from which the fledgling nation had just fought to be liberated.
This philosophical argument, this moment – vigorous and heated – gave us a constitution comprising a spare framework for the conduct of commerce and justice that otherwise pretty much got out of the way.
Prosperity followed.
Independent self-reliance was the cornerstone of the American experiment. There were no safety nets and if you failed, life could be very hard. But fear of failure and its consequences has the virtue of focusing one's mind and energies. Thus focused, America became strong and proud.
Yet, partly as a perverse result of America's massive economic success, the country gradually became of two minds.
On the one hand was the independence and self-reliance that gave America the strength to overcome the depression, win World War II, rebuild the nations it had just defeated and to become the wealthiest nation in history.
On the other hand a wealthy society, with the best of intentions, made it possible for those not just unable but actually unwilling to be self-reliant, to become instead dependent on the government for their daily needs. The once unthinkable idea that one could have shelter, food, medical care, transportation and creature comfort without having to put forth any effort at all, took hold.
Fatherless homes, rampant drug use, unlivable neighborhoods, soaring illegitimacy, generational dependence and a bankrupt treasury soon followed.
The candidates are busy bashing one another on tax policy and immigration policy and health care policy and this or that policy. None has yet reached critical mass with the voters.
And none seems to recognize the moment. The moment is, I believe, of nearly as much consequence as the moment that gave us the constitution.
We have, over a period of decades, gradually mitigated the risks attendant to economic freedom to too great a degree. The result is a cancerous nanny-statism, now of unsustainable proportion, that is threatening America's very existence.
I'm waiting for Romney or Perry or Cain to recognize that this election is different. I'm waiting for one to depart from the conventional political wisdom.
I'm waiting for one to express anew the founders' philosophical belief in the power of independence and self-reliance.
I'll care about tax policy later. Right now, I'm waiting for one of them to express heartfelt belief in the creative energy of the American people and to then campaign on that belief.
If one of them has the courage to do that, I believe that a concerned and reawakened American people will make him their next president, and a very consequential one at that.
Dang, Paul, your editorials are always world class, but this one is especially pertinent. Hopefully at least one of the candidates will get the revelation and passionately articulate it. No telling what a landslide would result.
Paul, With "It's not a policy election. It's a philosophy election" you are again on target. We are at a crossroads where this nation decides if it is to remain a free republic or go down the dark road to socialism. While many would willingly give up their rights and freedom for the false promise of comfort and a free ride, I think more Americans understand what made America great and are willing to fight to keep it so. Yes, as you say, we're looking for a leaders that clearly believes in this nation and not just more big government.
I have about desided that there is no hope left to bring America back to the super power she was for she has lost her moral compass. I can tell you right now that Romney is the worst possible choice. He is a career politician who will say anything to be elected. He has coveted the Presidential office for as long as I can remember, now being his third try. He is a rino, no, worse… He is a wolf in sheeps clothing just as obama was. Perry is not much better than Romney, he talks a good story but lacks the backbone to stand true to his words. There is too much big government in Perry to trust him to do the right thing. The guardasil issue is a very good example along with the Texas corridor. I do not believe that Romney or Perry would make the repeal of obamacare their first priority, which is of extreme importance to be done if we are going to get America back on track. The tax burden upon everyone will be greater still if obamacare is not repealed. But very little is being said about this.
This election, more than any other I have ever seen, will determine whether America will survive or if she will be a footnote in history. To survive, America will need a person unafraid to stand up for what is right and do what needs doing even though they will faced with opposition. America needs to regain her moral compass.
Ditto on your statement: "I'm waiting for one to express anew the founders' philosophical belief in the power of independence and self-reliance."
I have learned through life to pay attention to what someone DOESN'T SAY on a particular issue. The Republican Party and most of their current leaders in Congress DON'T expose the dangers of the Marxist Democrat control of our lives through unconstitutional rule by the Administrative state in Washington (the out-of-control Federal Bureaucracy). On the contrary, these Republicans only want Federal control in order to exercise THEIR particular version of Compassionate Conservationism, another cradle to grave, unconstitutional, exercise that isn't as harsh as the closet Marxist Democrat.
The inexorable loss of proper Constitutional control of Washington's greed for power has all but wrecked our economy over the last 20 years as debt is piled upon debt. Debt has a way of camouflaging the real wealth of a country or person. A near bankrupt person living in a $3 million house is not wealthy – neither is our country.
Until we dismantle the corrupt government that has erected a facade of available unearned benefits to the country at large (Marxism without the inevitable disastrous consequences), we are destined to fall into tyranny of the takers at the expense of the makers. Hence, the death of Capitalism will usher in the fairness of equal outcome – poverty for all – except for the Ruling Class, of course.
In this primary election season, we should only support those that have the knowledge and courage to expose the state of corruption of institutionalized Marxism in Washington and those who promote it.

Rectal Cancer (cont.)
Rectal Cancer Causes
Rectal cancer usually develops over several years, first growing as a precancerous growth called a polyp. Some polyps have the ability to turn into cancer and begin to grow and penetrate the wall of the rectum. The actual cause of rectal cancer is unclear.However, the following are risk factors for developing rectal cancer:
Family history is a factor in determining the risk of rectal cancer. If a family history of colorectal cancer is present in a first-degree relative (a parent or a sibling), then endoscopy of the colon and rectum should begin 10 years before the age of the relative's diagnosis or atage 50 years, whichever comes first. An often forgotten risk factor, but perhaps the most important, is the lack of screening for rectal cancer.Routine cancer screening of the colon and rectum is the best way to prevent rectal cancer.

Casting seating wall in Concrete
4 Attachment(s)
I was working through options on a seating wall for the outdoor kitchen.
I wanted something that would look similar to the oven and rest of the landscaping. With the built up level of the patio, it was a bit too late to dig down and make solid concrete footers. I did not like the modular block look - but that is my fall back position if the mold fails.
So I decided to try my hand at making a form and use it to create 5 seating wall modules. After the seating modules are poured, I'll make another form for the columns between the seats that will have a planter on top and wired for lighting.
Wall thickness is 2.5 to 3 inches - wire reinforced and a bit of rebar as well. I used plain door casing applied to the front to see if it will look like a raised panel after the pour.
I'll use cooking spray as a release agent.
First pour is tonight!
Re: Casting seating wall in Concrete
I'd suggest vibrating the concrete to help minimise the problem of rock pockets and trapped air. If you don't have one, pounding the outside surface of the mold with a rubber mallet helps. Trapped air is such a pain to get out.
Also, when I have tried these sort of things I also found that adding a 1-2 qts of straight cement to the Quikrete or Sakrete stuff helps alot (if that's what you're using for concrete). The bag for Sakrete says not for slabs less than 4" but by adding cement you can get around that limitation. If you're going wetter, upping the ratio of cement to aggregate still results in good strength. I have a graph someplace that shows the curve. That's how concrete pumpers get away with pumping a very wet mix (they run a 6 or 7 bag mix or more for thin sections, elevated slabs, engineered stuff etc. ).
Alot of these products have air entraining additives and that work against getting a smooth finish right next to a mold. But you probably know all that.
Good luck, and be sure to show us pictures of the final product!
Re: Casting seating wall in Concrete
I bought a few bags of cement while I was out today, I'll definately try it.
I'll be hammering on the form as well as trying my electric drill with an unbalnced weight chucked in it for vibration.
Thanks for the advice!!!
Re: Casting seating wall in Concrete
You can also use an orbital or finish sander on the outside for vibration
Re: Casting seating wall in Concrete

I went out and bought a couple 74 lb bags of cement to assist in the pour.
I split one bag equally between 5 ea 80lb bags of concrete and loosened up the mix accordingly.
Having the extra cement in there makes me feel better about a more soupy mix. I don't think I would have had much luck with just concrete in a stiff mix.
Overall it went well. I did not have much mix leftover when done.
Hit it a bunch with rubber hammers - my sander and drill contraption did not have enough umph to make a big impact on the form - I think it's too much mass. So I spent a lot of hammer time.
I did not fix the center cores and they tried to move on me - so that's a lesson for next time.
I went out an hour later and beat it with the hammers again - and did it again an hour after that... I hope it releases.
Looking at the picture - it looks like a huge cinder block!
In two days, we attempt to disassemble the form!!!
Re: Casting seating wall in Concrete
Is that melamine shelving you used for the form? I'm anxious to see if your seating works! I don't need seating, but I have a countertop to figure out, and a leg or post for it to make. I'm still trying to figure that part out...
The way you've set them up is ingenious. Did the bar clamps go on after the cores moved? Did you have any trouble with the long sides wanting to bow?
Sure hope they'e a success for you. Your whole project looks great and has so many good ideas for the rest of us to make use of! :D
Re: Casting seating wall in Concrete
Hi Elizabeth!
I bought several 4x8 sheets of white melamine to make concrete countertop forms. I've done a bunch of reading about it and it looks pretty straight forward.
Those sheets are super heavy - I cut them on the driveway using a straight edge vs trying to run them through the table saw.
Based on the weight of the forms I'm rethinking making 30x96" concrete counterops for my kitchen and will make smaller units and piece them together.
Also - as far as the inner cores on my seat - I wrapped them with some 1/4 inch pink foam - firm closed cell stuff vs fluffy. - My hope is that it will actually allow me to remove the cores without breaking them out.....
We'll see!

I'm back.
Poured the second bench over the weekend.
Lessons learned:
1st pour:
Wiley said it would be a good idea to remove the form on the first day as concrete shrinks - I wrapped the inner core forms with foam so I was not worried. Besides I was away on a business trip and couldn't take them out if I wanted to.
Inner core forms removed fairly well - foam helps.
Rest of form removed easy enough but all of the moulding was stuck in the face of the bench. I drove screws into the moulding to jack them out of their prisons - worked well and did not lose a single piece of moulding.
Melamine form still looks good - no appreciable water absoprtion. BTW I coated all exposed edges with silicone caulk as well.
Had lots of small voids in the bench (no big ones!!!) and grouted them with 100% cement. After hitting them with the sander it looks nice.
2nd pour:
took a while to clean up the dried glue from where the moulding had separated from the form - no glue this time - just a few brads and silicone caulk around the edges.
Put the form back together - used lots of spray PAM - a whole can. Also wired the center cores to the form at the top and bottom they did not move this time!!!
Used same mix as last time but poured half of the bench and used my home made vibrator around all the edges - later found that this made a big difference - almost no voids in the 2nd pour (bottom half).
Pushed the metal reinforcement into the concrete - was not bad as there was enough of the form exposed to make sure I was centered.
Filled up the rest and could not fit my home made thing between the walls and reinforcement wire. Used plan B - Vibrator on the outside and whack it all over the place with my rubber hammers.
This time I took Wiley's advice and removed the forms the next morning. Probably in the form 20 hours.
The form was loose from the bench in half the time and all of the moulding stayed attached to the form!!! - no rework for the next pour.
The forms are starting to show a little orange peel look - I hope I can get 3 more pours out of them. Only 2 sides will show when I'm done - so even If I have to make some new ones it won't be the end of the world.
Was going to pour concrete tops for the benches but am now looking at using IPE decking for the tops - it should warm up all the concrete out there.
Still not sure what do make the planters out of that will go between the benches - Wood or poured concrete? Not sure now. Original plan was concrete with a light embedded in the front.
Going for 2 sections this weekend!! - one on early sat morning and one late on Sunday!!! Wish me luck!! Maybe I will swing by the orange tool store and see if I can score a vibrator.
Re: Casting seating wall in Concrete
Those look great! I like the idea of the decking for the tops. You know, if you make it removable, you could store stuff in there...
I've been looking at hypertufa sites- I think they look neat. Maybe you could fit some of that in there for planters? Or will that mix your metaphors too much, design-wise?
Re: Casting seating wall in Concrete
Very Cool, Christo!!! Again, I'm amazed by the skills, creativity and ingenuity of the people on here!

Seeing what's out there...
Ok, So here it goes... I just joined Match "officially" early September. Thank you to those of you who have winked, left messages and photo comments. I'm sorry if I haven't gotten back to you but I do appreciate all the love :) One reason why I haven't responded is because I am a full time student. I am currently an LVN and am finishing up all my pre-reqs for a BSN program to become an RN. I'm really excited and passionate about my career path. With that being said, I'm usually always in school, studying or doing homework which doesn't give me much free time to respond to everyone.... Hence why I am on this dating site. I really have no time to go out and meet new people unfortunately but I do hope to meet some really fun and interesting people here and hopefully make some new friends, if not more, along the way. So besides having no time to go out and meet new people I have only two girl friends who are single!! Seriously! All my other girlfriends are all either in super serious relationships, engaged, wifed up, or have kids... so that leaves poor little me. lol. They never wanna go out and are always doing couples things and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. And seriously, who wants to hang out at clubs & bars where the kids are all 21, 22, 23 spilling cheap booze all over my expensive shoes!? I feel like a cougar in training :( So that's why I'm here... gonna give Match the old college try. At this stage in the game I believe I've afforded myself the right to be picky. Hell, I've waited this long to meet someone awesome so I'm going to apologize ahead of time if anything I say in the next few sentences that offends you... They type of guys I like are usually... 1. Caucasian. I know that sounds harsh but that's what I'm attracted to (now I'm a bitch) 2. Tall... like 5'11- 6'4..? 3. Not skinny... Not attractive to fat guys either or crazy muscle heads... went thru that muscle dude stage and in my opinion they're all just self-centered dbags. I like big broad shoulders, nice arms... someone who is fit and maybe goes to the gym regularly but not obsessed over it or is gonna be upset if they miss a day. I can appreciate a nice body & mine is far from perfect (I do need to get into the gym more) but if you're gonna weigh out all your meals and be obsessive about it, that's not for me. I like pizza, burgers, ice cream, chocolate... too much! I like someone who can be scruffy and who can clean up well and be super sexy. 5. Funny and like to talk. Is open with his feelings and is okay with the idea of communicating with one another. 6. Close to their family and wants one of their own in the future. I'm very close to my mom, brother and my dad when he was living so it'd be nice to find someone who has the same family values as myself. Also, this is a little forthcoming, but I cant picture my life without kids so you gotta want/ love kids too! 7. I'd like to meet someone who has never been married and who doesn't have any kids... I know, perfect world huh? But this is my wish list and if he's amazing and has been married and has a kid I would never rule him out. 8. Is sincere, honest, trust-worthy, loyal... Can I just get a man where if we're at a party, or gathering of some sort, he's with his friends and I'm with mine we can just look over at each other and smile or wink.... maybe he comes over to see how I'm doing 15 minutes later fills my wine glass, kisses me on the cheek and then slaps my ass then off he goes... perfection! There's so much more but I'll stop there because I know I've scared half of you all away which is fine with me... less for me to weed out! So if you're still interested and think we may have some things in common, email me and lets chat! Have a wonderful day and good luck in your search!!!!!

With social media playing an increasingly dominant role in our lives, it was about time somebody undertook a serious academic study of the way the Facebook phenomenon is changing and shaping behaviour. Daniel Miller is Professor of Anthropology at University College London and his latest work, Tales From Facebook, offers a fascinating insight into the site that 500 million of us spend hours on every day.
The 'tales' of the title refer to individual stories of lives changed by Facebook – from people finding relationships or emerging from the isolation of illness or shyness, to marriages breaking up and privacy being destroyed by scandal. Miller analyses the way our online personas are becoming more 'real' to people, and how the social media site is becoming increasingly vital to business and advertising.
For an anthropologist, the habits and manners of the social network are just as fascinating as any forgotten Amazonian tribe, and as we live out more of our lives in a virtual world, a rigorous understanding of where this might lead is increasingly important. Whatever your feelings about the ever-present Facebook, Twitter etc, they are here to stay, so this book is an intruiging guide to as-yet uncharted territory.
Tales From Facebook, Daniel Mille (Polity Books, 2011)
"Tales from Facebook is a genre-busting tour de force." Tom Boellstorff, Professor of Anthropology, University of California
"For anyone keen to understand what human culture is becoming as the internet becomes its nearly universal vehicle, Tales from Facebook is obligatory reading." Julian Dibbell, contributing editor, Wired.

The Great Cooper River Bridge
The Dream that Connected Charleston to the World
It was once called "the most spectacular bridge in the world!" When it first opened on August 8th, 1929, the great new Cooper River Bridge was the long awaited link between Charleston, South Carolina and its neighbors to the east – Mount Pleasant and Isle of Palms.
To purchase a copy shop www.etvstore.org or call 1-800-553-7752
Constructed in just seventeen months, this three-mile long cantilevered truss bridge gained national attention and rivaled some of the world's greatest bridges in its design and size!
The Cooper River Bridge was named for John Patrick Grace a former two-term mayor of Charleston, South Carolina. It was Grace who became one of primary motivators in pushing for the construction of a bridge across the Cooper River. Upon its completion in 1929, a three-day celebration was held that brought out crowds from both sides of the cooper river to celebrate this magnificent engineering feat!
Many over the years feared crossing the old cooper river bridge because of its height, 150 feet over the main shipping channel; the narrow foot lanes that originally carried two-way traffic; and the low three and a half-foot guard rails that were constructed right up to the edge of the old bridge! There are those who refuse to drive over it to this day!
Due to age and non-conformity with modern highway standards, the old john grace bridge and the more recently built Silas Pearman Bridge, will be dismantled. The huge steel beams and trusses will be transported by barge off the coast of Charleston to create a fishing reef. replacing these bridges will be the new six hundred million dollar Arthur Ravenel bridge scheduled to be completed in early 2006.
"Upon learning of the eventual fate of the original structure, asserts producer Bruce Mayer, I became passionate about creating a history of the old bridge." The John P. Grace Bridge has commanded such a significant presence in charleston harbor for so many years. Hopefully through this program - The Great CooperRiver Bridge, the memories of the old bridge – both good and bad, will be kept alive for generations to come."
Commentators telling the story include, Pamela Gabriel and Jason Annan, authors of the recent book The Great Cooper River Bridge, and mayor of the City of Charleston, Joseph P. Riley, Jr.
The program was produced and directed by Bruce Mayer and narrated by Tom Clark. Production assistance by Tommy Burgess and Kim Combs.

Ragtime is a 1981 American film based on the historical novel Ragtime (1975) by E. L. Doctorow. The action takes place in and around New York City, New Rochelle, and Atlantic City in the first decade of the 1900s, and includes fictionalized references to actual people and events of the time. The film was directed by Milo Forman. The music was the first full feature score composed by Randy Newman. This was the final feature film for both James Cagney and Pat O'Brien; Cagney was ailing during the shoot. Although ambiguous about the year of action within the storyline, architect and socialite Stanford White was actually shot in 1906 and the trial(s) of Harry K. Thaw for the murder took place in 1907 and again in 1908. Thaw's wife, Evelyn Nesbit had a previous intimate relationship with White while she was a teenager. The film was nominated for Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, but lost to On Golden Pond.

The Austin Aztex (14-1-2) needed only one goal from Sito Seoane and allowed their defense to continue to shut down their opponents to advance to the USL PDL Championship game Sunday, Aug. 2 at House Park.
The game took a physical start through the first half as the Aztex looked to maintain possession of the ball and dictate their pace to the game. However, the Nor'easters were quick to knock the Aztex off of the ball and not allow the Aztex to get comfortable at their home field.
The Aztex defense were also able to contain Ocean City's attack throughout the opening thirty minutes. Ocean City had their first chance to score when Nor'easter forward Zoncher Dennis beat an offside trap and was alone for a one-on-one with Aztex goalkeeper Devin Cook. Cook was quick off of his line and was able to thwart the scoring attempt by Dennis.
The save was the beginning of a series of acrobatic and clutch saves for Cook, a USL PDL finalist for Young (U21) Player of the Year and also Goalkeeper of the Year. Cook finished the evening with six saves and pushed his season shutout total to 11.
The Aztex scored the lone goal of the game in the 52nd minute when Zack Pope made a penetrating run along the left side of Ocean City's penalty area. A defender knocked the ball out of bounds and Pope, the Aztex captain, had the presence of mind to make a quick throw in to Sito Seoane in the middle of the area. Seoane took a first touch that hit the ball straight up and then blasted a left-footed a full volley. The ball caromed off the inside part of the far post and into the back of the net.
"The ball was bouncing, but I didn't doubt it," Seoane said. "It's awesome, tonight we're going to enjoy it, but it's not over, we've got one more game. Thunder Bay is a really good team, so we're going to have to be ready."
Seoane chose a fortuitous time to be the hero for the Aztex – not only was it the league semifinal, but the organization was giving out Seoane trading cards at the front gate. The goal was Seoane's third for the Aztex during postseason play.
The Aztex advance to the USL League Championship match, where they will face the regular season champion Thunder Bay Chill (15-1-1) from Ontario. The Chill advanced to the title game after they defeated Victoria Highlanders FC 2-0 earlier Friday afternoon. The championship match will be played at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 4 at House Park.
"We're excited," Aztex midfielder Tony Rocha said. "We have never been in this situation before and we want to bring a championship to this great city."

Rubavu — At least 62 Rwandans yesterday arrived at the western border town of Rubavu from the Congolese town of Goma fleeing from what they called "targeted attacks". By press time, more were expected to arrive from the capital of the troubled North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Mobs, including motorcyclists, are calling on the ordinary people to target Rwandans.
Immigration officials at the border said that over 40 of those who arrived were students at DRC's Goma University and medical interns at Goma hospital.
The students said they were escaping mounting bigotry against Rwandans and other Kinyarwanda speaking communities in the Congo.
Anti-Rwandan sentiments have flared up in DRC in the recent past following allegations that Rwanda was backing the M23 movement rebels, mainly composed of Congolese army deserters who took up arms - in protest of alleged mistreatment - about two months ago.
The fear-stricken Rwandans who arrived at the border yesterday said they were helped to cross over by members of Congolese police.
Chantal Nyiramutarutwa, one of the students, said she was "rescued" by fellow students who alerted the police about an imminent attack. "Our fellow students made repeated calls to the police in order to come to our rescue otherwise we would not have found our way here," she said.
Most of those who returned home said that sections of Congolese civil society in Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, had waged a persecution campaign against Rwandans.
"Mobs of Congolese, including motorcyclists, are calling on the ordinary people to target Rwandans, claiming Rwanda is backing the rebels," said Justin Nsengiyumva, another returning student.
Alphonse Munyurangabo, an official from Rwanda's Immigration and Emigration Department, told The New Times at the border. "There are many others who are yet or were unable to cross; it is very hard to estimate the exact number."
Nsengiyumva claimed that mobs had erected a roadblock in Goma where they carry out checks to identify Rwandans, adding that he was roughed up, robbed of US$50 and had his identification and travel documents confiscated, as he scampered out of the town.
The development will not help the already tense relations between the two countries, coming just days after Rwanda warned of a growing "bigotry" campaign against Rwandans in the Congo, mainly by individuals and groups close to government.
A few weeks ago, Rwanda accused DRC of "dumping" 11 young Rwandans along the common border of Rubavu after "beating and torturing them".
Foreign Affairs minister Louise Mushikiwabo accused some Congolese citizens, both at home and abroad, and media outlets that are close to the Kinshasa administration of instigating violence against Rwandans.
"This is very reminiscent of the rhetoric just before the genocide against the Tutsi in 1994. Certainly Rwanda keeps a very close watch on that kind of pronouncements," she said.
"In our corner of the world, words quickly become deeds and anti-Rwanda rhetoric carries grave consequences...More hateful attacks can be feared as calls for Congolese worldwide to "kill the Tutsis" are being propagated over the internet," she told a news conference at the UN headquarters in New York.
Resentment towards Rwandans in DRC is thought to have worsened following the release of a provisional UN Experts report late last month, which linked Rwanda to the M23 rebels, but dismissed by Kigali as "one-sided" and lacking credible evidence.
Kinshasa also made similar allegations but was accused by Rwanda of sidestepping the ongoing bilateral diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the situation. Rwanda brokered the 2009 deal that had ushered in related peace in eastern DRC.
Meanwhile, the M23 rebels, yesterday, announced they had withdrawn from the eastern strategic town of Rutshuru and two other areas - Kiwanja and Rubare - only a day after taking them, without a fight.
Reports indicated that the rebels retreated as a sign of goodwill and were waiting for Kinshasa to respond to their call for peace talks.
The rebels, under the command of one Col. Sultani Makenga, accuse the government of reneging on the March 23, 2009 peace deal that had resulted in the integration of the then CNDP rebels into the national army.
They, however, warned the Congolese army against moving back into the three areas, saying that would "immediately and energetically repressed" by the rebels.
Last Friday, M23 overran the strategic town of Bunagana on the border with Uganda, sending about 600 Congolese troops across the Ugandan border.
The new conflict has reportedly displaced 200,000 people, with an estimated 70,000 crossing into Uganda and Rwanda

EMCC's iConnect program focuses us, as a college and community, to become actively involved with student engagement. Our iConnect "report cards" help us communicate with each other about 1) how we are building relationships and 2) our experiences within EMCC's Learning College:
Tara Salehpour (Science Lab) - "A student asked me when the NASA center opened, because she needed to rent a calculator. I looked up NASA center employee's email for her, because the student was going to be out of town during the time they were renting calculators."
Nikol Price (Library) - "A student spent an afternoon working with me on the Library desk as part of a job shadow experience."
Joe Delgado (Public Safety) - "I educated a student about the MCCCD Tobacco-Free / Non-smoking policy."
Denise Sievwright (Behavioral Sciences) - "My mentee and I discussed our backgrounds. She completed a Peace & Dignity Journey, where she met her husband. The Journeys occur every 4 years with indigenous runners on opposite ends of the continent."
Clay Goodman (Administration) - "I talked with several students at the Networking Tech Institute meeting. The students were thankful we are giving them info."
Jim Cerven (Administration of Justice) - "I linked a student with the DEA Career Center. The student contacted the center and received answers to questions."

Castle Season 5, Episode 13, "Recoil": Top 5 WTF Moments
You often wish Castle boss, Andrew Marlowe, would auction off a Writer For a Day prize at some event, so you could rewrite some of these scenes, right? We thought so. Sadly, we just have to settle for the rewrites in our heads because sometimes things just aren't right.
Here are our biggest WTF moments from Castle Season 5, Episode 13: "Recoil."
5. Was Captain Gates Ever a Detective? We're Not Quite Sure.
Things happen in that interrogation room. Magical things. Sometimes creepy things. And they usually involve Kate Beckett. Yeah, "I remember everything" quotes. We're talkin' to you.
But this go around, we can't help but question exactly how Captain Gates became, well, captain. Instincts matter. And hers are pointing due SW towards Tennessee.
Beckett full-on announced that Senator Bracken got his kill on with her mom, and the head honcho was watching. She didn't walk up after the statement. In fact, Castle looked all panicky because he knew Becks was going to spill the beans. And she chose now to half-heartedly believe Castle? Say something. Anything that remotely starts your wheels turning that Senator McCrime Boss over there isn't all about kissing babies and eco-friendly solutions. Anything!
Oh, look. The mayor's calling. Go drool over the phone and come back when your reaction is a little more detective-like. Or pry the white hat from Olivia Pope and strut it like you mean it.
4. Beckett Interrogates Bracken!
OK, we're not really sure how this fits snuggly into the WTF moments category, but it was so funny (and serious), that it's worth rehashing. Bear with us while we find a way to connect the dots.
We kinda had to laugh at K-Becks a little for her classic eye rolls and commentary towards Bracken in their private little sanctuary where Beckett secretly was coming up with 34903 different wants to torture him. "Do you have any enemies? Is there anyone you can think of that would like to kill you?" If only TV sets let you add pop-up bubbles during a show and share them with the world (Apple geniuses, take note unless it's already in the works.) This would take place of all the drinking games you currently play when Beckett drinks coffee or Castle wears his Writer's vest. Drink! You spotted the vest, didn't you?
Right. Back to WTF. Sorry, we couldn't come up with one. Oops.
3. What Kind of Car Bomb Attempt Was That?
How much of an idiot do you have to be to botch this job? Bracken was close to the car — close enough to get hurt at least, but we'll get into that in a sec. He was headed inside the limo. All the driver/killer had to do was wait a second or two, and then go boom. We thought it was pretty simple.
Maybe he should have phoned a friend. Let us suggest the Justin Timberlake/Adam Samberg duo, so they could have given him so helpful clues. Yeah, you gotta sing it, too!
1. Put a bomb in the car. 2. Make him get in that car. 3. Now, blow up the car. And that's the way you do it. Bomb in a car.
2. Beckett Saves Bracken From the Explosion and No One Has a Scratch.
It's not too far off to think Beckett could have Kryptonian blood seeping through her veins, well minus that whole "she did actually get shot" detail. But B and B should have had a mark on them or something. We're guessing even the shards of glass and metal are afraid to get on either of their bad sides.
1. Bracken Is Still Alive!
Fans can't catch a break. That's the biggest WTF of them all.

Amongst the families of British landed estates, a portion was the amount of money allocated to maintain all children apart from the eldest after the father's death. Usually the portion was stipulated as one or two year's annual revenue of the estate. Thus if there were five children and an estate worth £10,000 a year, each child would receive £2,000, or the interest thereon. For further discussion, see George Brodrick's English Landlords: An Enquiry into the Origin and Character of the English Land System, with Proposals for its Reform (London: Petter, Galpin and Co., 1881), pp. 89-116. Portions might also form part of the calculations used to establish the dowry of a woman on marriage, whether as …

Leighton Baines | Everton | 97 chances created
We've had wingers, deep-plying playmakers, strikers and attacking midfield schemers, but the most creative player in Europe is currently a left-back.
Yes, Leighton Baines has created the most chances in Europe, an eye-watering 97 opportunities proffered up from the boot of Baines.
He's provided five league assists, and it's his set-piece delivery that gives him the consistent platform to create chances.
But he's equally as effective booming down the left-flank and whipping in a cross.

Commander Sela's insanely stupid plan to conquer Vulcan

Where do people get this idea that Vulcans are all pacifists? Was Spock a pacifist? Was Tuvok (a starship's

Yes, Surak, as we saw him in "The Savage Curtain" was clearly a pacifist (and bear in mind that was Spock's
of Surak, not necessarily exactly who he was, as we saw with Kahless), but that doesn't mean the entire race is bound to dealing with an invasion force Ghandi-style.
(Oh, great, now I'm picturing Ghandi doing that viral video dance).
Seen as Surak was introduced (by Spock) as "The father of Vulcan philosophy", and in Star Trek Vulcan (as every other race) is a Planet of the Hats,
it is safe to assume all Vulcans are pacifist.
That doesn't mean they would go all "Ghandi-Style"
and do nothing when the Romulans attacked. Spock was capable of violence, given no other logic options. (and in cases like spores, atavachrons, ponfarrs, etc
But they would absolutely not cooperate, and with billions of Vucans not acknowledging they were conquered, probably the 2000 Romulan soldiers would kill Vulcans until they got bored then die of frustration.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Ketchup (or catsup) is a tomato-based food condiment. Published recipes for tomato ketchup in America date back to 1801. In 1876, H.J. Heinz (then F & J Heinz), the world's largest distributor of ketchup, launched their brand of the popular sauce. Ketchup is a common food item in restaurants and refrigerators everywhere, and is often served on hamburgers, hot dogs, eggs, meat loaf, and french fries.Ketchup plays a cameo role in Metal Gear Solid. In that game, there is a scene where the protagonist has been imprisoned. To escape, the player has the option to use spilled ketchup on the floor to create the appearance that they have been bleeding, motivating the guard, Johnny, to open the cell.
