Animal picture of the day: 18 pound lobster saved from dinner plateJeremy Hance
August 18, 2011
|Mongabay.com features a Picture of the Day several days a week
Caught off the coast of Canada, this 18-pound American lobster was saved from being cooked by a seafood distributor in San Francisco and now has a new home at the New York Aquarium. Photo courtesy of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
"When we saw that ad for an 18-pound American lobster, we knew we had to have it," explained Jon Forrest Dohlin, WCS Vice President and Director of the New York Aquarium. "He's a magnificent creature that has been delighting our guests since his arrival," adds Dohlin.
Although big, this is not by far the largest American lobster (Homarus americanus) ever found. According to the Guinness Book of World Records that individual was caught off Nova Scotia in 1997 and weighed over 44 pounds. Still the newest addition to the New York Aquarium is a heavy weight and an elder. Based on his weight, experts say this crustacean is 75 years old. And what about the 44-pounder: maybe over 180 years young.

Freedom to Heal: Wounded Libyan Fighters Receive Care at Spaulding North Shore and Salem Hospital
By Bill Ewing
"Because of our proximity to
Spaulding North Shore
, a number of specialists at North Shore Medical Center have been involved in the care of the Libyan patients," says Mitchell Rein, M.D., Senior Vice President for Medical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer.
Jaime Rivera, MD
, performed a life-changing surgical procedure on Belgassem Ali, a 22-year-old Libyan freedom fighter who suffered a gunshot wound to his abdomen during a skirmish with Moammar Gaddafi loyalists.
Speaking through a translator, Ali explained that his injury occurred when he and a small group other Libyan freedom fighters were "trapped by Gaddafi's militia early one morning and came under gunfire." Several suffered gunshot wounds, his through the buttocks and abdomen causing serious damage to his small intestine and colon. Ali received an emergency colostomy at a Libyan hospital prior to coming to the U.S. to receive additional care.
"I was asked to see if Belgassem would be a good candidate for a colostomy reversal, essentially reconnecting his colon so that he could get rid of the colostomy bag and lead a better life," says Dr. Rivera. A series of tests showed that he was a good candidate and Dr. Rivera successfully performed the procedure in the Salem OR. After seven days of recovery on the Davenport 7 med/surg unit, Ali was returned to Spaulding for further rehabilitation.
"This surgery will dramatically improve my life," says Ali. "I feel like I have had the very best care available here in the United States, and I'm very grateful to everyone involved."
In addition to Dr. Rivera's surgery, a number of consultations have taken place, particularly in the areas of psychiatry, neurology and orthopedics. Staff members who work in such areas as dietary, environmental services and security have also been actively involved with the Libyan patients.

The QB Carousel Will Be Dizzying in 2014
A recent slowdown in teams changing quarterbacks from season to season certainly will not continue in 2014. Here's a look at nine teams that could be in the market for a new franchise man and whip the offseason into a full-on frenzy
Patience is not a word associated with NFL teams and starting quarterbacks. All you have to do is look at how often teams change their Week 1 starters from one year to the next. As an example, from 2006 to '11 the number of franchises making changes were 13, 13, 10, 11, 10 and 12. On average, that's a third of the 32-team league each year.
But the carousel appeared to be slowing the past two seasons, when the figure dropped to nine teams in 2012 and only six this season. Finally, clubs could exhale. Or so we thought.
Cue the circus music and stand back, because one of the developing storylines for 2014 is that there could be nearly twice as many new opening-game starters at quarterback as there were this year. Normally I'd rant about how silly it is to look at 2014 when we're only at the midpoint of the current season. However …
When you consider how important the position is in today's game because of the rules changes/enforcements that have opened up the passing game; when you think about how teams have to make quicker judgments on quarterbacks because the new collective bargaining agreement limits rookie contracts to four years instead of five or six; and when you look at what transpired over the past couple weeks … it's hard to not pull out the binoculars.
Consider: In Week 7, St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford was lost for the year to a torn ACL and Chicago's Jay Cutler was sidelined for at least four weeks with a torn groin. That same week, Minnesota's Christian Ponder was benched in favor of Josh Freeman, who had only joined the team the previous week; of course, in Week 8, the Vikings went back to Ponder after Freeman had a bad debut and suffered a concussion. And let's not leave out the Browns, who promoted former third-stringer Jason Campbell ahead of 2012 first-round pick Brandon Weeden before Week 8.
Bradford, Cutler, Ponder and Freeman started for their teams in Week 1, but it's reasonable to think that won't be the case for them or a handful of other quarterbacks next season. They stand to be released, allowed to leave as free agents or relegated to backup status because of inconsistent/poor performances, money issues, health concerns or age. Or all of the above. Another factor is that next year's draft is believed to be deep at quarterback, and teams are more willing to start rookie signal-callers because of the recent success of Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson, who went to the playoffs in their first season, and the flashes of promise from Geno Smith and E.J. Manuel this year.
"Supply and demand" is how one general manager explained it, speaking on the condition his name not be used. He continued, "When you find your franchise QB you keep them under contract as long as you can. Problem is, how many franchise QBs are there when you look at 32 teams? Certainly less than half of that, so you're looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of at least 16 teams playing musical chairs."
This year's changes occurred in Arizona (from Kevin Kolb to Carson Palmer), Buffalo (Ryan Fitzpatrick to Manuel), Kansas City (Matt Cassel to Alex Smith), Oakland (Palmer to Terrelle Pryor), San Francisco (Alex Smith to Colin Kaepernick) and the Jets (Mark Sanchez to Geno Smith). What changes could be on the horizon in 2014? Here's a look (teams listed alphabetically):
Chicago Bears
This one could be interesting. Cutler is an elite talent who was on pace for a career year before his injury. But he's also taken a team to the playoffs just once since entering the league in 2006. If he looks for a mega-payday, I wouldn't be surprised if first-year general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman chose to look elsewhere.
Cleveland Browns
Weeden was thought to be the long-term answer after being drafted 22nd overall in 2012. But that was before a new management and a new coaching staff were brought in—and before he completed just 56.2 percent of his passes and confirmed he has trouble going through read progressions in a timely manner. The Browns have two first-round picks next year, and one of them undoubtedly will be used on a quarterback.
Houston Texans
Matt Schaub is just 46-40 as Houston's starter the past seven years. More notable is that he's 1-1 in the postseason, missed six games with a foot injury in 2011, struggled down the stretch in 2012 and is on pace for a career-worst season this year, during which he threw pick-sixes in four consecutive games, a league-record. He'll be 33 next season and will count $14.5 million against the cap, which isn't huge by quarterback standards but could be unnecessary if the team believes youngster Case Keenum, who will get a second straight start in Week 9, is a capable replacement.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Like Cleveland, Jacksonville has changed management and coaching staff since drafting Blaine Gabbert 10th overall in 2011. Gabbert has been a major disappointment, to say the least. This year alone he has thrown seven interceptions with only one touchdown. He's clearly not the answer; Chad Henne will start again this week even though Gabbert is healthy. Jacksonville (0-8) definitely will wind up with a high draft pick, if not the first pick overall, in May. It's hard to image it won't use the selection on a QB.
Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota used the 12th pick in the 2011 draft on Ponder, but it clearly no longer believes in him. If it did, it wouldn't have started Freeman only one week after Freeman joined the team. That being said, Freeman might not be the answer, either. He's on a one-year deal and was atrocious in his debut, though the staff and management deserve much of the blame for rushing him onto the field before he was ready.
Oakland Raiders
Third-year pro Terrelle Pryor won the job this year even though that was not the organization's plan (Oakland traded for Matt Flynn and designated him the starter coming into training camp). Pryor has had flashes of promise, even in defeat; but the staff believes he still has a ways to go as a passer before it can commit to him long-term. The fact that GM Reggie McKenzie tried to sign Josh Freeman after the Bucs released him speaks volumes that the Raiders are not completely satisfied at the position.
Philadelphia Eagles
Michael Vick isn't the long-term solution. He's in his 11th season, will be 34 next year and hasn't played a full season since 2006, his last year with the Falcons. Father Time is undefeated against aging players, but he's Mike Tyson vs. Michael Spinks when it comes to aging players who rely on their legs more than their arm.
St. Louis Rams
This might be the most interesting case of the offseason. Bradford was selected No. 1 overall in 2010 but had yet to play at a franchise level in his first three seasons. This year he was enjoying his best statistical season before an ACL tear in Week 7 against the Panthers brought his campaign to an end. Some of Bradford's struggles have been due to a lack of perimeter playmakers his first couple seasons; this year the Rams have suffered in the running game and with unimaginative play-calling. Bradford's base salary is $14.015 million next year and $12.985 million in 2015, and of course he faces a long offseason of rehab. St. Louis has two first-round picks in next year's quarterback-rich draft and will have ammunition to trade up if they choose. They also could look to deal Bradford.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Third-round rookie Mike Glennon replaced Freeman as the starter late last month, and the organization hopes he can be the long-term solution. But here's the issue: Because Glennon is limited athletically, inconsistent on the deep ball and completing just 58.5 percent of his passes, Tampa Bay would be foolish to pass up a shot at an elite college prospect with a high draft pick. At 0-7, the Bucs are currently battling 0-8 Jacksonville for the top pick in the 2014 draft.
We're months away from knowing what will happen, but there's no doubt the carousel is being oiled for use.
Vick will be starter or back up for KC,SF or Arz those are teams that suit his skill set.
NFL Draft 2014: Updated Quarterback Rankings http://wp.me/p3Sy77-1vm
I agree the Birds will need a new QB. Vick best days are long gone. I hope we don't get carried away too much into what the Eagles/Foles did against the Raiders. The Eagles are 5 years removed from a good QB. Great article...
The Raiders will ride TP until the excitement wears off which could be a long time. He keeps progressing in confidence and poise. The days of one year and done head coaches and QB's are over in Oakland and there is light at the end of a long tunnel with DA at the helm and TP under center. With the cap space next year this team has a chance to be very good. Who would have guessed a defense that has 10 new starters (11 if you count the flip from left to right side for Lamaar Houston) would be top 10 good? The Silver & Black are nearly back and don't need retread QBs like the three pictured above.
Bradford's not going anywhere fisher already said he will be the starting QB in 2014 . how ever they may benefit from such a QB rich draft . they should get 2 early draft picks Washington and theirs they might just do what they did with the RG 3 trade a teams the needs a QB and trade one of their draft pick for more draft picks.
cutler's agent is Bus Cook - (dirtbag). It's ALL about money for Cook and jay cutler.
Cook wants Flacco $$ for a qb that ain't worth it. Even if the McCaskeys / Emery put the franchise tag on cutler, Cook is sleazy enough to hold him out - and jay is famous for throwing tantrums & pouting as well as not returning phone calls when he feels "slighted" / unappreciated (see Denver)
Jeff George spent a significant time wearing silver & black, and since cutler is the new millennium Jeff George, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go out wearing the same uniform. cutler is about cutler - not the team.
cutler goes to tennessee to replace locker, who is a stiff
There is an abundance of QB talent coming out of college in next years draft.
Cutler is most likely going to be franchised for 2014 then given the payday or become a free agent in 2015. That's the word around the city here.
@George is your first name Jeff? It seems you have spent a lot of time inside Halas Hall and know Jay Cutler real well....NOT.....
You seem not to know much about Cutler or the Bears so i am guessing your not from Chicago. Cutler has his quirks but he he is a hard nosed tough player who can play through alot of pain and takes a beating. No one should get Flacco money and his season after he got that big money will show why that wont happen again. I am guessing they will Franchise him to see how he does another year in with the new staff and thats fine. The Bears wont have a good enough draft pick to get a decent QB that can come i and start and with what is going to be out there he is the best option.
Exactly. They will give hi a second year under the new coaching staff and then make the decision. They dont have a good enough pick for a ready to start draft QB and have other needs. What will be on the QB scrap heap doesnt make much sense so Cutler won't be going anywhere for atleast another full season.
Can't imagine he's being blamed for only 1 playoff appearance in 7 years- pretty hard to take a team to the playoffs when you're planted on your back. If he can't produce after he heals up, I'd doubt he'd ask for a King's ransom, and as long as he continues to play as well as he did pre-injury I can't imagine the Bears will cut him loose. (Kind of doubt Bradford's going anywhere, either).
@JoeHercik @George You may be right, but I think, based on Bus Cook's rep and cutler's past behavior, if the Bears try to franchise him, he and Cook will hold out / demand a trade.
If I was Emery, I'd be shopping him around right now. Time for the Bears to cut bait on quitler.

A newly released video shows millionaire murder suspect Robert Durst in front of a counter loaded with candy — but there's nothing sweet about it.
Tricia Golding will make your day with her enthusiasm, as she made the day of those at the Nonprofit Center of Wichita Falls.
A national healthcare company made headlines in February when representatives of that company announced they'd no longer sell tobacco products. On the heels of that announcement, CVS, which has also changed its name to CVS Health, made good to that promise and did so about a month early.
As CVS sharpens its focus on customer health, the nation's second-largest drugstore chain will tweak its corporate name and stop the sale of tobacco nearly a month sooner than planned.
Starting in October, you won't find any tobacco products at a chain of national pharmacy stores. That's according to an announcement made by CVS Caremark today.

Washington, D.C. Weather Forecast: Hottest Day of the Week
A Heat Advisory is in effect this afternoon, plus an elevated risk of severe storms.
- This Afternoon:
- Partly Cloudy, HOT with T-Storms Late
- Highs: Mid 90s
- Heat Index: 100-105
- Tonight:
- Evening Storms Possible, then Mostly Cloudy
- Lows: Mid 70s
- Wind: Sw 4-8
- Tuesday:
- Partly Sunny with Scattered Showers and T-Storms
- Highs: Upper 80s
- Precipitation: 75%
A lot to talk about in the weather department today with heat, storms and a tropical storm! We start with the heat as we already started the day warm around 80 degrees. A heat advisory is in effect for D.C, along the I-95 corridor, and Southern Maryland for a "feels like" temperature between 100-105. When there is high heat, check the backseat!!! Don't leave the kids or pets in the car.
Showers and thunderstorms will develop late today and this evening ahead of a cold front. Some of those storms may produce damaging winds and hail. All of our area and much of the northeast has an elevated risk. While today will be the hottest day of the week, tomorrow will likely be the wettest. The Mid-Atlantic will be sandwiched between the cold front and Tropical Storm Arthur. There is the potential for heavy downpours with localized urban flooding. The tropical storm will make it's closest approach to us on the Fourth of July, but it will only bring some morning showers to D.C. The beaches will have gusty winds and rough surf. High threat of rip currents Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Keep an eye on the flags at the beaches this weekend if you're heading out.

letter to the London Review of Books:
"Peter McGill mentions those Japanese outcasts, the burakumin (LRB, 31 March). One of the 'unclean' occupations they were assigned was undertaking, a point delicately made in the Oscar-winning Japanese movie Departures. A newly married young man finds himself unemployed and applies for a job without knowing it involves ritually preparing the dead for burial. Although he soon overcomes over his disgust at coming into such close contact with corpses, it takes his young wife considerably longer. To avoid offending its Japanese audience no mention is made of burakumin, and so subtle was the film's handling of the theme, it eluded most Western viewers. I no longer raise the subject with Japanese friends as I have found that, when I do, they pretend not to hear me."

Imagineer the ultimate solution
CADET will house virtual and real prototyping facilities, allowing creative design solutions to be developed almost seamlessly from imagination to reality to manufacture in a single journey. Be it new wind turbines, medical devices, sustainable infrastructure, alternative vehicles or robotic aids, CADET will provide the key elements to 'imagineer' the ultimate solution.
Enhancing the engineering precinct
Constructed at the Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus, CADET is an extension of the engineering precinct, which has seen a $13.5 million investment. The money was spent between the refurbishment of the engineering labs and facilities as well as providing the areas with new equipment.
Inspiring the discovery of engineering
CADET offers activities, experiences, programs and pathways for young people from Year 8 through to PhD level, and encourage students to gain a new insight into the world of engineering. Through CADET, we will link secondary, VET and tertiary education to demonstrate the opportunities that are possible in engineering and design whilst building aspirations for a career in the industry.
Access to high-end equipment
Featuring more than $6 million of cutting edge technologies and specialist learning aids, CADET represents the pinnacle of engineering education within Australia. Focused on digital manufacturing, rapid prototyping, 3D modelling and visualisation technologies students, researchers and industry will be able to experience and master the tools and techniques that will take Australian manufacturing beyond the 21st century. Access to such advanced equipment is the corner stone of enabling Deakin students to creatively explore their engineering and design ideas.
Breaking ground
Construction of the $55 million CADET facility has been completed in 2015. This tri-level building houses a range of laboratories, design studios and interactive learning spaces furnished with industry leading technology and equipment that will provide students with the freedom to create and explore.
Unlocking design in engineering
Recognising that design is a primary function of the engineering profession, CADET will emphasise the importance of design, rapid prototyping and modelling in engineering practice. CADET opens the possibilities of design in engineering through project-based collaborative learning supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure to provide the '21st century' reality of engineering.
Push and explore boundaries
CADET will enable students to explore endless possibilities through desktop manufacture and computer modelling, virtual reality environments, 3D printing and world-leading rapid prototyping capabilities. Students will gain practical experience in next generation computer controlled manufacturing systems and processes allowing them to experience tomorrow's manufacturing today.
Addressing the skills shortage
Australia has a critical shortage of engineers to cope with the demand for major infrastructure and technology projects. CADET will help to address this shortage by preparing students with the knowledge, skills and competencies to become the design focused, solution oriented practical engineers of the future.
Need more information?
CADET is a partnership between Deakin University and the Australian Government.

Some schools object to 'Focus School' label
Being labeled a "Focus School by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is causing pushback from some schools. They claim they're being unfairly labeled as bad and are being forced to spend unnecessary money.
A Focus School designation reflects a large achievement gap between the top 30 percent of students and the bottom 30 percent of students in a school. While the schools may have high performance overall and meet Adequate Yearly Progress, the designation implies there's a problem in reaching low-achieving students. MDE recommends changes in teaching and learning practices that respond to the needs of those students.
The MDE is holding firm even though schools pushing back are looking for more flexibility. The Department doesn't see the need for waivers when a school has 30 percent of its students under-performing, regardless of how top students are doing.
It's questionable whether any help can come legislatively either. Rep. Lisa Posthumus Lyons, House Education Committee chair, isn't making any promises. "We need information from the department. Time is short in the remaining session and I have some other issues I want to address.

Benton Harbor Emergency Manager threatens to terminate public worker contracts under new law
After stripping local officials of all power, state-appointed Manager calls himself "the angel of common sense"
LANSING - During an interview with Fox 2 Detroit last night, the state-appointed Emergency Manager for the City of Benton Harbor, Joe Harris, was asked if he planned to exercise his power under the new Emergency Manager law signed by Gov. Snyder to void any and all union contracts. Harris responded by saying, "It is conceivable that I will terminate the contracts."He went on to describe himself as, "the angel of common sense,"and said, "90% of the citizens believe that I am the angel of common sense."
"First Harris stripped away our voting rights, and now he wants to force public workers who have already sacrificed to accept lower wages and benefits," said Eric Sales, a local public employee from Benton Harbor. "Attacking local firefighters and police officers won't solve our financial crisis, and will only hurt vital public services for our community. We need real solutions with input from local residents, not more attacks on working families."
During Harris' interview with Fox 2, he was also asked if Benton Harbor is a testing ground for what will happen in Detroit. Harris responded by saying, "It's my opinion that the mayor (of Detroit) cannot save the city at this point. The reason is because you have to change the terms of the collective bargaining agreements. Unions do not typically take a back step. They do not step backwards, they do not accept concessions."
"For Mr. Harris to suggest that public workers haven't accepted wage and benefit concessions to help solve our state's economic crisis is simply absurd," said Mary Crayton, President of the A. Philip Randolph Institute of Benton Harbor. "Instead of attacking hard-working public employees who keep our communities safe, Gov. Snyder should require CEOs to start sharing in the sacrifice to move our state forward."

In addition to being the unifier of all things of cloth and wool, needles are also the lesser known healers of the human body. Show some love for the needle and get your chi flowing in the healing directions with today's Groupon: a 60-minute comprehensive acupuncture treatment for R200 at Jing-an.
There are two sides to every needle; the side that sends people into irrational fits of panic, and the often overlooked side that can make any body healthier than a sushi-eating Asian panda. The latter of course, being every body's inner most desire. Though, unlike the copious amounts of sushi that sushi-eating pandas are required to eat, the road to health and relaxation comes far easier for a human being.
Specialising in alternative medicines, Jing-an possesses an army of healers great enough to make Western medicine men weep little girl tears. Masters in the art of acupuncture these healers will carefully activate the flow of chi within your body, teaching it to heal naturally without the use of antibiotics and medicine. The method involves the insertion of different lengths of needles on acupuncture points which lie on meridian pathways within the human body. Similar to a paint by numbers activity sheet, every part of the body has a corresponding colour-coordinated healing point.
Not only does acupuncture activate the flow of chi between organs, cells, blood and muscles, but the treatment is also beneficial for ailments such as infections, retention, swelling and what is referred to as dampness in the body. The session is relaxing and soothing and the amount of skill retained in the hands of these healers will leave your body feeling like a flowing waterway of restored life-force.
Alternative Fact: A treatment named "The accordion" was once practiced in Kuala Lampur. It involved being dipped into a nearby lagoon and then being squeezed very tightly to compress and release tension. The treatment was mainly used calm nerves.

Check out the latest internship postings from M-Edge.
Happy new iPhone day! I'm like a kid on Christmas any day Apple has a keynote event. Some people may think that an announcement about the latest and greatest phone is trivial, but one analyst at J.P. Morgan seems to think that the iPhone 5 "could potentially add between 1/4 to 1/2%-point to fourth quarter annualized GDP growth." I think that the impact could be more than that if the rumors about the iPhone 5 are true. Word is that they're changing the size/shape and the dock connector. Anyone who buys the iPhone 5 will have to buy all new accessories too. That's good news for a company like M-Edge, which is an Odenton, MD based company that "sells fashionable, protective cases for e-readers, tablets, and cell phones." They came it at #91 on the Inc. 500 by riding Apple and Amazon's wave to 3,185% three-year growth and $37.2 million in revenue.
Do You Have an Edge?
One of the fun parts about internship searching (yes, it CAN be fun) is starting with an idea and following it through the economy. Today's Apple keynote is a great place to start. Landing a job at Apple is extremely difficult, but where else can your love of consumer electronics take you? Think of all of the products that have been created specifically for iPhones–apps, speakers, headphones, hands-free headsets, chargers, cases, arm bands, and sleep tracking devices are just the tip of the iceberg. There is an entire economy built off of Apple products (and those from other manufacturers as well), and you can spend all day exploring it and looking for opportunities. M-Edge is a perfect example of how significant the market is–and they're just one of many in the accessories business. What I like about them specifically is that they offer the option to customize your accessories. That's a big deal for people who like to show off their individuality. Now most of the positions posted on M-Edge's Careers page require significant experience, but I did find that they've offered internships in Graphic Design, Product Design, and probably a few other areas. You can reach out to M-Edge about a position, or you can use today's Apple keynote as inspiration to seek out internship opportunities with other companies that are part of the Apple economy.

text: Comment by David MacKay - April 23 2013 @ 09:47 AMThis bag is a must if you travel on an airline. It will be allowed to be carried on even the crappiest of airlines such as bahamasair. It can fit everything you need to walk the flats just in case your luggage never shows up. I used to carry on the fly rod and gear holder until an airline made me check it in. Long story short I almost lost 10 grand worth of gear never again. Carry a rod tube and this bag and you won't go wrong.User Rating:

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I have been trying to get the sound to work in my computer. At boot when
the ALSA mixer settings would be loaded, it fails and says to manually
use "alsactl restore". When I do that, it says "alsactl:
load_state:1134: No soundcards found...". When I google on that, peoples
problems mostly seem to be conflicts between OSS and ALSA when they have
both installed at the same time. As far as I know, the only OSS stuff I
have is the emulation in ALSA. Here is what lsmod says:

Jersey Shore
Watch Snooki Help Restore the Shore for MTV's Spring Fix! (VIDEO)
Remember that pic of Snooki looking pretty in animal print with a tool in one hand and a mask covering her mouth? The pretty guidette couldn't resist dressing as a "flirty feline" while doing some manual labor. It was of course for a very important cause, as Snooki was helping United Way with a special construction project in conjunction with MTV's Spring Fix benefit concert.
For the big event in March, back when Snooks still had her fabulous red hair, she met up with college kids and some of her Jersey Shore castmates to help rebuild Staten Island homes devastated by Hurricane Sandy. The cast also got together for the Spring Fix benefit concert at a local Six Flags amusement park, reuniting to help raise money for the reconstruction project.
In the video below, Snooki enters the house she's about to help rebuild in her Snerdz glasses and a hat with leopard print ears (naturally), looking pretty hesitant as fellow volunteers hand her some tools. "What is this?" she asks in confusion when handed a big yellow nail gun. "I'm scared." The volunteer shows her how to use it, though it takes her a bit of practice before she gets the hang of it.
Snooks shared how glad she was to be there with some awesome students that chose to help out instead of "going crazy" on their spring break, something she definitely did back in her day. We're proud of her for stepping up and helping out, even though she had some trouble learning how to use the tools.
"I'm not a builder," she admitted to the volunteers. "I'm more of like a sweeper." Yeah, we never thought we'd see the day either!
Watch the video of Snooki rebuilding below, then tell us what you think in the comments!

Prettylicious Team Colored Elastic Headbands is an Etsy shop that makes super cute elastic headbands. There are tons of different colors to choose from, but I chose the Black Flower Fabric Elastic Headband to try and I was honestly very pleasantly surprised! I have never been much of a headband fan because they usually give me headaches, make my head itch, and/or never stay in place for more than a few minutes....but this one was much different. I wore it all day long and it was extremely comfortable - I barely even noticed that it was there, and even better, it stayed in the same place all day and I never had to readjust it! The headband is very versatile too - I feel like I can wear it with a t-shirt and jeans or with a dress and it still works!

Mrs. Walker is the type of people we should be lifting up! She has clearly shown herself to be not only a great professional, but a person who actually CARES for our students.
Let's see how many comments we will have following this good story versus ones that follow a negative story...
I've stated this before but didn't have all of the hard facts at the time, just a rational, educated hunch and some facts from neighboring states like Texas. Now the truth comes out as we've known all along.
Gov. Jindal doesn't care about recidivism rates when it comes to inmates learning a trade, becoming educated and being productive citizens of our state. He cares about promoting the Republican agenda at ANY cost and will drown all of us low-income, limited resourced folk just to save face with his party.
This is what we get when we don't get out and VOTE, folks. We must take ALL elections seriously.
Great work, muspench, digging up these numbers. I knew they exist, just didn't have the time to fish them out...
I've stated all along that we can look no further than our neighbor Texas to mimic what they're doing. Texas is good enough to emulate their legislative salaries but not good enough to copy their education policies? Apparently, they work with smaller classroom sizes, up to date study materials, greater teacher pay that continue to attract our graduates and state of the art equipment that rival our colleges.
Change was needed, just not this change the administration rammed down our throats for private companies' namesake and dollars. These charter schools are not held accountable by us, rather appointed officials who believe in running the school like a business rather than an actual school. If you recall, Retired Marine Colonel Al. Davis tried this tactic a few decades ago with no results.
Finally, I can attest that charter schools do the minimal possible to assist special needs children. This law will not be good for low-income children for lots of other reasons I've stated before...
And now, we await the bill that has Louisiana's overall performance tied to the Governor's tenure and salary to be introduced, passed and signed into law... Wait, that'll never happen..
I agree, we need educational reform, but not in this way...
As it states in this article, RSD Schools are on the right track; four straight years of improvement WITHOUT the 'sweeping change' the Governor wants to make. What we don't hear is the fact that charter schools aren't accountable to US the people, rather their 'sponsors.' Also, charter schools do little to be special needs-tailored. Private schools do almost nothing regarding special needs students. I learned this first-hand with my oldest son. The RSD school he attends are phenomenal with the classroom instruction and teaching material.
Why the rush, we ask? It's because the Governor is attempting to make his 'sales pitch' to the Republican party by saying, 'see what I've done? I've stayed true to the Republican values. Put me in the national spotlight again,' while Louisiana's middle and lower class continue to struggle or move away from this state to greener pastures like Texas, Mississippi (dare I state this) and Alabama.
The college tuition increases in the past four years (we don't hear about that) the decrease of public healthcare and the state employee retirement overhaul are ALL sneaky taxes placed on us while the rich keep getting richer...
Keep in mind that we should not hold grudges against the wealthy. We should only show our Governor that he should govern US (the middle and lower income) fairly as well...
Bayouguy, I must respectfully disagree with you, Sir/Ma'am.
Governor Jindal has done things to promote and advance the REPUBLICAN party's agendas. These things in turn, have HURT Louisianians. Let me share with you some of them:
He closed NOAH AFTER a year of his promise to keep it open
He is limiting healthcare for low-income folks AS I TYPE THIS by cutting money from the healthcare budget. This year makes 4 straight years he has done so.
He touts education, yet cuts the education funds, then promotes an INCREASE in state tuition (at least for the third straight year that I know of...)
Just to correct you on some things; the nation's unemployment rate current sits around 8.3%, give and take some tenths of a percentage, not 'double digits,' as you stated. Also, if we do some research, we'll notice our unemployment rate generally is always lower than the country's average, just like our gasoline prices are typcially lower than the national average.
The education reform bill is designed to figuratively starve public schools, Sir/Ma'am. I will be the first to admit that every kid isn't cut out for Newman, Jesuit or Brother Martin. Why force parents to send their kids there? Why not take our public schools and better them? I have made several proposals in the past. Also, my prediction is that we will see the great 'flight' again once low-income children began attending these private schools because the elements of public schools that some parents are afraid of will follow. Also, where is the 100 million dollars in FEMA money for SUNO? Why hasn't the Governor released those funds yet? There are buildings that are STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION to this day, almost 7 years AFTER KATRINA...
Regarding the Medical Corridor, I don't know how familiar you are with LSU HSC HCSD MCLNO (Charity and University Hospitals) but pre-Katrina, MCLNO was a level one trauma center in the southeast region of the NATION. It was easily in the top 5 in the NATION. Don't take my word for it; do the research. A study was done post-Katrina that confirmed the building's structual soundness, but Gov. Jindal wants to pay off some contractors so he must give them some work, hence the current construction we have going on today. Nevermind the individuals that were FORCED out of their homes by the government strong-arm tactics (I knew one of the elderly ladies that lived on Cleveland St.)
Finally, the BP Oil Spill funds HAVE NOT been distributed properly and timely. I had the opprotunity to meet with some of those fishermen and offshoremen when I was activated for the Deepwater Horizon operation and they are ticked off beyond belief. Some of the stories reminded me of Katrina all over again.
What this all adds up to is a governor who was/is a typical politician; use us to get what he wants and leaves us high and dry because we allow him to do so. I don't care about Democrat or Republican. I voted for Gov. Jindal the first time. I care about the PEOPLE and the TRUTH.
By the way, we're still waiting on that 'transparent goverment' we were promised the first term...
This policy of 'do as I say, not as I do' reminds me of my childhood days when my mother would sharply advise me of the same. The difference is we're not children and the Chief isn't a parent of any of us. Even if he was, his position and initial hiring in it screams of hypocrisy...
All of this while the Dept of Justice breathes down his neck. When will we learn? What will it take for us to learn?
The Governor's motives are purely political. The facts speak for themselves. Whethere it's a Republican governor limiting the people from entering supposedly 'public meetings' or if it's a Democratic Mayor doing the same, WRONG is WRONG.
36% of the registered voters spoke at the polls to re-elect the 'Roads Scholar' (I am one of them.) It hurts my heart to wonder what happened to the other 64%, but that's a moot point now.
Gov. Jindal has his eyes set on a higher national stage than before, damn the children or the parents of this state. We've already shown our ignorance and plain neglect of what really matters (healthcare, education.)
I understand where you're coming from and completely agree. I wish you and yours the best, Sir/Ma'am...
God bless the students. They represent the finer individuals and people who truly serve the people.
I would like to extend a special thanks to their family members who also made the sacrifices necessary for their loved ones to continue their studies and ultimately reaching the finish line. You deserve to celebrate! :-)
brc, I agree with you.
There was a lead given somewhere in order for Heebe to know in which direction to 'shine his flashlight.' That's almost how all charges, petitions, affidavits and other court documents are filed. Someone, more often than not, startes off with a hunch, then begin inquiring on that hunch to see if there's any validity to it.
Personally, I think it's not only a black eye to the U.S. Attorney's Office, but to free speech as well. Although this finding doesn't affect free speech, public perception, in my opinion, will be swayed otherwise. Of course, Mr. Perricone will have to deal with any policy violations of his job.
In 2008, the state legislature attempted to raise their salaries to over $52,000 a year. Public outcry forced them to scale it back to over $37k a year, which was still a 100% increase (must be nice). Only after Gov. Jindal got word that an impeachment petition had been filed for him from the Sec. of State did he veto that proposal. Our lovely legislators were trying to tie their raises to U.S. Congress.
This was all reported by this site, nola.com. Here are some of the articles:
Judge for yourself...
modernman, I agree 100%.
For the 'Roads Scholar,' his 'moral imperative' isn't the same as ours. He has proven himself time and time again to be a hypocrite and not friendly to the poor in this state, regardless of color, race, creed or ethnicity, all to save face with his 'republican values.' Of course, we're too blind to see this as we not only re-elect him, but in landslide fashion even if we only turn out roughly 36% of regsitered voters.
I am personally ashamed of us Louisianians with this type of behavior. We need higher education, better healthcare facilities (or at least keep the ones we have OPEN) and more job training, but it appears that everything Gov. Jindal does will only benefit his select folks, not the people who should benefit; US...
You're right as far as I've seen, Bryan.
My oldest is a special needs child and when we put him in private school (his first time ever setting foot in a schoolhouse) they immediately called and stated that they didn't have the means of teaching him. Now we know the law says that ALL children are to be included, but this school that I wil keep nameless did not even make any effort to accommodate him. I'm wondering if that's how they treat other special needs kids?
These voucher programs will only assist higher income individuals, not the folks it appears to help. The 'Roads Scholar' knows this. He's trying to pay back the folks he promised he would. He wants to appear to maintain his 'Republican values' and keep with his base. He has us all figured out and according to the last voting numbers, he's doing a good job of that. The national stage, however soon he will learn, is a whole different ballgame.
I see in New York City they use the National Guard for additional assistance. I've been there several times and each time, I see numerous law enforcement agencies covering all areas and not once did I feel unsafe or uneasy. When I saw the soldiers and airmen walking the subways, again, I did not feel uneasy or 'scared.'
My point is this; let's learn from these lessons, use the ones we've already learned from and get the National Guard back here in New Orleans to patrol areas that aren't hot beds for crimes. Use them for extreme emergencies (i.e. providing additional backup for the regular cops.) Most National Guard members that were here patrolling were law enforcement officers from other areas in the state so they were already trained in being cops.
Bovine, just FYI, Louisiana laws already give military members that are called up by the Governor law enforcement status and powers (LRS 29:7) so anyone that would challenge this would lose big time...
Agreed, more government isn't the answer. SOME government, however, is expected, especially since our tax dollars go into public schools whether we like it or not.
To answer the question of 'how do we make parents more accountable,' do like DSS does when the non domiciliary parent doesn't pay their child support; first send out the letters, next garnish wages (in this case, paying the tuition of said child) third, suspend driver's license, so on and so forth. I'm not saying we have to enact these very laws, but these are some examples of what can be done on the PUNATIVE end.
Before we get to that point, we need to educate our folks to include our parents of these children. I can tell you it works because not only am I a proud product of public schools, but also an example of what a SINGLE, motivated parent can do who didn't have her GED at the time of my rearing in N.O. housing developments. I have seen this in other single-parent families as well but of course we won't read about or hear these success stories in the news, now will we?
Governor Jindal gets no credit from me. He has shown his intentions. For example, do you remember him holding that press conference in front of NOAH talking about how 'important it is to the community' and the services being vital? Guess what? A year later, he shut it down, leaving New Orleans without adequate adolescent detoxification and drug treatment. He constantly cuts higher education and healthcare after promising not to do the same things as his predecessors. If I do what he's done in his job, I'd get fired from both.
I agree with you, 100%. Put the onus on us parents to ensure our children are being properly equipped to the best of our abilities when they step foot in any school, be it public or private.
Having stated that, where is the governor's support for programs to enrich our parents? Where are the GED program fundings? Where are the trade school and higher education fundings? Are these not what helps our parents to be better individuals, better 'teachers' themselves? Statistics show that an educated parent is more likley to value education and thus pass that onto his/her children versus a non-educated one.
More smoke and mirrors by our governor to privatize EVERYTHING at the lower class expense...
The only reason Governor Jindal is opposed to this is because the cuts are coming from a democratic president AND the fact that the other gulf state republican governors are against these moves (by the way, I think we shouldn't cut these funds either.)
This shows yet again the hypocricacy of our governor. It's okay to cut hospital beds in healthcare facilities that are proven to be desperately needed and close detoxification facilities, but not okay to cut other vital programs? Where is the consistency?
Folks, don't fall for the 'Okie Doke...'
Drew Brees has been the most contsistent presence on the Saints' team on and off the field since he got here. He's a proven leader not only on the field breaking all sorts of NFL records while in a SAINTS uniform (when did you think you'd see that day AFTER being a SUPERBOWL CHAMPION CITY) he's also been a pillar in the community. He's volunteered countless hours of community service (I've witnessed some of it myself) and NEVER complained. Now we want to run him out of town? How spoiled we've gotten from HIS labors...
In my opinion, what's happened here is just like others have commented: This story was 'leaked' to be nothing more than a smear campaign for Brees. I recall the salary deal attempting to take place last year, but not to the tune of Manning or Brady money (which, by the way, he deserves.)
This contract that Brees wants pays him more money up front: that's where the $23 mil you hear about is coming from. Manning and Brady did the exact same thing with their contracts. The AVERAGE annual salary works out to about $18 mil, but he'd get less money on the back end of the deal, that's what you're NOT hearing. Notice no one has come out and actually specified even the basic details of the proposal by brees.
By franchising him, Loomis wants to see if Brees will continue his play (which he will) and by that time, we'll wind up paying him more than what he wants to sign for now simply because of market value. If not, he'll leave and the Saints will immediately drop the 'S' and become the Aints of old.
Then, let's see who will blame for that fault... We've become so spoiled of winning now, thanks in large part to the very person we want to run out of town!
We're never satisfied....

CAIRO (AP) — The Egyptian pound fell to a record low against the dollar Sunday as the central bank stepped into the market to try to stabilize trading and stop an anxious public that has been buying up dollars for fear of an even bigger dive in the local currency, bankers said.
The pound slid more than 3 percent on the first trading day after the central bank introduced a new dollar auction system that bankers said appeared designed to allow a "controlled devaluation" of the Egyptian pound. Many economists consider the pound overvalued and propped up by the government, which has used fast-dwindling foreign currency reserves to keep the value artificially high.
Khaled Abdel-Hamid, from Union National Bank of the UAE in Egypt, said the central bank is now directly involved in trading to stabilize the market and will probably help stop speculation on the currency by panicked buyers.
Egypt is grappling with a crippling deficit and foreign reserves have fallen to $15 billion from $36 billion in 2010, before the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak.
The central bank announced the new auction system a day earlier, urging citizens to "ration usage" of foreign currency in favor of the Egyptian pound. It said that foreign currency reserves, which have been hemorrhaging for nearly two years, are at a "critical" level — the minimum needed to cover foreign debt payments and buy strategic imports.
Under the new auction system, the central bank sold all $75 million on offer to banks on Sunday.
As the currency weakened, the prime minister said Egypt will resume talks in January with the International Monetary Fund after Cairo suspended its request for a $4.8 billion IMF loan during the recent political turmoil over the disputed constitution.
Fearing even greater political turmoil, President Mohammed Morsi called off tax hikes and spending cuts that were part of the economic program it submitted to apply for the IMF loan, scuttling the loan request itself. But now that the constitution has been approved in a public referendum, the government has again turned its attention to economic reforms.
Many had expected a currency devaluation as part of the IMF deal, which had gained preliminary approval in November ahead of the outbreak of the political crisis and mass street protests over the constitution.
Over the past week, fears of an imminent currency devaluation led to a rush on dollars, putting further pressure on the Egyptian pound. The worries were fuelled in part by the government's move to cap the amount of foreign currency people can take with them as they leave the country.

If you have a diverse selection of tech-lovers in your family then getting the Christmas list sorted can be troublesome because there is simply so much choice. To help overcome this issue, here are the top 10 tech gift ideas for 2011.
|Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Showcasing Android 4.0 for the first time is the Galaxy Nexus, Google and Samsung`s technological marvel which features a 4.65 inch Super AMOLED screen and a 1.2GHz dual core processor to satisfy your smartphone cravings.
|Kodak PlaySport Zx5
While most people shoot video on their smartphone, the latest PlaySport camcorder from Kodak ups the ante with simplicity of use, easy sharing of high-def clips and excellent durability for hard-wearing performance in the great outdoors.
|Apple iPhone 4S
This unforgettable iPhone update gives you seven times the graphical grunt of its predecessor, an improved eight megapixel camera with full HD video capture and the same pixel-stuffed 3.5 inch Retina Display.
|Xbox 360 Kinect
Motion gaming may have been started by the Nintendo Wii but it is Microsoft`s Xbox 360 that gets the last word on the subject thanks to the Kinect peripheral which has been flying off the shelves this year. Immersive gaming and media features make it fun for the whole family.
|Apple iPad 2
It is unsurprising to see two Apple products on this list given the popularity of the brand and the iPad 2 is virtually the only tablet worth owning thanks to the wealth of available applications and the slender, light design which looks great from any angle
|Amazon Kindle Touch
Getting rid of the keypad has done wonders for the look of the Kindle e-reader as this Touch edition lets you get interactive with your eBooks on a tactile level. You can store a large number of novels on its built-in memory and the e-Ink screen is still one of the easiest to view for extended periods of any electronic device.
|Beats Tour Headphones
Developed and endorsed by superstar producer Dr. Dre, the Beats range is the only headphone family that serious music fans and tech enthusiasts will consider. The relatively high price is more than justified by the quality of the in-ear Tour model and these will make a good accompaniment for any new smartphone or tablet purchase this Christmas.
|Nokia Lumia 800
If you have a family member who does not like Android or has no desire to own an iPhone then it is worth considering the Lumia 800 from Nokia this year. With Windows Phone 7.5 onboard, a 3.7 inch OLED screen and a nippy 1.4GHz processor, it is the best kept secret of 2011.
|Sony CyberShot DSC-HX9V
Camera fanatics will appreciate the sheer range of features built into this highly capable compact digital snapper. A 16 megapixel sensor, 16x zoom and all sorts of video shooting options make it a versatile selection.
|Nintendo 3DS
After a slow start Nintendo`s first 3D handheld console is picking up steam and buyers can benefit from its recent price cut and gaggle of great games including Mario Kart 7. Easily one of the top ten toys 2011 has to offer.

Mustang MonthlyHow To Paint Body
Ford Cobra Jet 428 - Detailing Guide
Detailing The 428 CJ For Concours Show Duty
In 1970, the 428 Cobra Jet was continued in the ponycars-the Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar-but was replaced with the 429 CJ in the mid-sized lines-Ford Torino and Torino GT, Mercury Cyclone and Cyclone GT, and Mercury Montego.
The various 428 Cobra Jet codes for 1969 remained the same for 1970, and the Drag Pack also continued to turn any CJ into an SCJ in Mustang or Cougar for weekend-warrior duty at the strip.
You now know the historical details. Our aim is to get to the hardware components for your concourse edification. Even if you're building up a 428 into a CJ with no plans for judging, the package, stock as a rock, looks good.
For our presentation, we have used two different engines, a '68 1/2 CJ and an equally Dearborn-stock '69 428 SCJ with ram-air. Thanks to Bob Perkins, former MCA National head judge, for the information.
Paint used for Ford Corporate Blue engines:*Ditzler DAR 13358 (acrylic enamel)*Ditzler Delthane Ultra Urethane Hardener, DXR 80 Ditzier DX 265 All-Purpose Flatting Base (25% to 30%)
In Closing
Although the 1968 1/2-1970 428 CJ details are very similar, there were variations in hardware, finishes on the hardware, and paint patterns of the components. These variations even occurred in the same model year. It is important to remember that assembly-line parts and procedures were not always consistent, for many reasons. If you follow our guidelines, you will be considered concours correct for all MCA concours.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sandyclaus starwars christmas i was very pleased with my order from "improvments" shipping was great and i bought my items in an after christmas sale so the price was GREAT!!!!! February 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by FLgal Very cute! I bought the R2D2 one because he best represented the one from the movies, which I have loved since I was 7 years old. I knew I would love to see this in my yard during the holidays, along with my other outdoor decor. When it arrived, it was fairly easy to put together, but the fabric is very weak. I had to stretch it, a bit, in order for the inserts to fit together, and some of it ripped way too easily. I wish the fabric was stronger. There is a part, near the bottom 'leg' that is ripped simply from following directions, and making it reach the inserts, as directed, and that made me sad that it ripped already. I haven't even used it yet. It is very cute for what it is, though, and it looks very nice lit up, but I do wish the price had been cheaper, especially because of the grade of the fabric. November 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rikku Great Present I purchased all three as a gift for a fellow fan. Pros: Adorable, easy to assemble, looks very impressive, very good size. Cons: Cheap quality overall, too lightweight to even consider putting outside, packaging for shipment is rather poor. These LOOK fantastic, but you obviously have to treat them like glass ornaments. Our weather would blow these objects away, so they are strictly indoor decorations. However, they were bowled over by an enthusiastically wagging dog tail. The fabric is very cheap, be EXTRA careful pulling them over the skeleton or you can rip them. The box it comes with is NOT packaged for shipping, they put it in another box that is. So unfortunately, yoda was delivered with a crack at his skull; thankfully the hat covers it. In all, I love these things, enough to get myself a set when the time comes. However, know that these items are not worth the full price. I advise waiting until a very good sale comes along, which I am glad I did. January 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by AnakinSkywalker They look cool I saw Yoda at a HD near me after Christmas and started wondering if that was the only character available. I found the set of 3 at Improvements for an excellent price and ordered them. I can't speak to the durability, since they are new, but I get a little nervous about displaying outside. I put them together with minimal effort, but I fear taking them apart to store them could be a problem. They do look awesome when lit up and I will definitely add them to my Star Wars theme I have going. All in all and good buy. January 13, 2014

|Wikimedia Commons: Arcola, Illinois
Arcola is a city in Douglas County, Illinois, United States. The population was 2,916 at the 2010 census. The city was founded in 1855, when the Illinois Central Railroad was built through the county. The railroad itself was responsible for surveying, platting and founding the town.
Arcola is somewhat famous for the Lawn Rangers, a "precision lawn mower drill team" that marches in formation with brooms and lawn mowers while wearing cowboy hats. Every year since 1980, the Lawn Rangers have marched in the Arcola Broom Corn Festival Parade. The event, held the weekend after Labor Day, honors Arcola's position in the late 19th century as a center of broom corn production. The Lawn Rangers were so named because the Grand Marshal of the Parade in 1980 was Clayton Moore, famous as the Lone Ranger, and they were named in his honor. This unique custom was publicized by humor columnist Dave Barry, who marched with the Lawn Rangers in 1995.
Arcola was the birthplace in 1880 of John Barton Gruelle, or "Johnny" Gruelle, who is famous for creating Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, the loveable American dolls and storybook characters. Gruelle used artistic skills learned from his painter father Richard Buckner Gruelle combined with his self-taught writing skills to create stories expressing regional values and aesthetic images. His artistic granddaughter, Joni Gruelle Wannamaker, manages the Raggedy Ann Museum in Arcola.
A nationally known tourist attraction, Rockome Gardens, which features large formal gardens, concrete fencing and architecture, buggy rides, and many special events from May through October, is conveniently located just outside of the town of Arcola.
Arcola is also known for housing the world's only Hippie Memorial, created by Bob Moomaw. He died in 1998. He worked as a railroad clerk and tax assessor, but did not like either job. As an eccentric, independent artist with strong beliefs, he was able to give voice to his feelings, passions and opinions through his art and the writing on the sides of his buildings. He created the 62-foot-long artwork starting in 1992 to say something about his life and the era during which he lived. A nearby marker gives an interpretation of his work.
In the countryside surrounding nearby Arthur, Illinois, is a prominent community of Old Order Amish, the largest in Illinois. Amish farms occupy much of the farmland west of Arcola, with the highest concentration of Amish businesses around Arthur and the unincorporated communities of Chesterville, Illinois, Bourbon, Illinois, and Cadwell, Illinois. Arcola is home to the Illinois Amish Interpretive Center. This Old Order Amish Museum opened in 1996 and features exhibits on most aspects of Amish life, as well as an introductory video about the Central Illinois Amish. Through the museum, tours can be scheduled of the Amish countryside, Amish homes, farms, and businesses, and meals in Amish homes can be scheduled as well.
Arcola is located at 39°41′1″N 88°18′21″W / 39.68361°N 88.30583°W (39.683545, -88.305844).[1] US Route 45 & Illinois Route 133 run through the town.
According to the 2010 census, the city has a total area of 2.02 square miles (5.2 km2), of which 2.00 square miles (5.2 km2) (or 99.01%) is land and 0.02 square miles (0.052 km2) (or 0.99%) is water.[2]
At the 2000 census,[3] there were 2,652 people, 1,031 households and 748 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,938.9 per square mile (747.4/km²). There were 1,080 housing units at an average density of 789.6 per square mile (304.4/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 89.40% White, 0.26% African American, 0.11% Native American, 0.79% Asian, 8.03% from other races, and 1.40% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 19.87% of the population.
There were 1,031 households of which 33.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 61.7% were married couples living together, 8.2% had a female householder with no husband present, and 27.4% were non-families. 24.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 12.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.56 and the average family size was 3.03.
25.7% of the population were under the age of 18, 8.0% from 18 to 24, 28.5% from 25 to 44, 22.6% from 45 to 64, and 15.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females there were 93.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 91.2 males.
The median household income was $38,125, and the median family income was $46,107. Males had a median income of $30,168 versus $22,723 for females. The per capita income for the city was $18,664. About 2.0% of families and 3.7% of the population were below the poverty line, including 3.1% of those under age 18 and 2.9% of those age 65 or over.

The Legacy of Atropos, the Fate Who Cut the Thread of Life by Robert S. Holzman, MD at the journal of Anesthesiology
In De Praestigiis Daemonum, which Freud called one of the 10 most significant books of all time, Johann Weyer (1515 – 1588 CE) concluded henbane was a principal ingredient of witches' brew, along with deadly nightshade and mandrake. [31] According to Weyer, there were other ointments, but the essential ingredients remained the same in all. The preparations, when applied to the upper thighs or genitals, were said to induce the sensation of rising into the air of flying. Witches were thought to anoint a chair or broomstick with the devil's ointment, and after self‐application, would fly through the air to meet for devil worship at the sabbat. Francis Bacon (1561 – 1626 CE) observed that "… the witches themselves are imaginative, and believe oftentimes they do that, which they do not … transforming themselves into other bodies … not by incantations or ceremonies, but by ointments, and annointing themselves all over."
In an extensive review of psychotropic plant ointments of the Renaissance, Piomelli and Pollio examined transcripts of witchcraft trials, writings on demonology, and the botanical composition of ointments that alleged witches used on themselves during the 15th and 16th centuries. Despite the difficulty with accurate identification of the plants, the documents reported consistent pharmacologic effects. Further, the biochemical logic of applying these plants in a fat‐based unguent was sound, as it would promote passage of the alkaloids through the intact skin and mucosa. The use of soot (slightly alkaline) likely would enhance the passage of organic bases because a weakly alkaline environment would be sufficient to neutralize the positive ionic charge. That this is an effective ethnobotanical technique may be seen with Peruvian coca chewers, who mix in their mouths the cocaine‐containing leaves with alkaline cinders to enhance uptake. There is even experimental evidence for believing that a fatty base was used in these ointments; an ointment from the 13th or 14th century, found accidentally, was subjected to chemical analysis and had an animal fat content of 40%.

"Few men have impressed their peers so much, or the general public so little, as Walter Savage Landor", wrote Sidney Colvin in his biography of Landor (1881). A.C. Swinburne was one among many of Landor's ardent contemporary admirers, writing in the Encyclopedia Britannica (1882), "In the course of this long life he had won for himself such a double crown of glory in verse and prose as has been won by no other Englishman but Milton." Browning was another friend and champion. In his long and energetic career, Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864) was active as a writer of prose and poetry in both the Romantic and Victorian periods, and had some claim to literary and intellectual prominence. He published his first collection …

From New Tang Dynasty TV (NTDTV.com):
And on a lighter note… How does it feel to be both Chinese and Jewish? Our Israeli team talks to a young woman from Kaifeng, China who belongs to both of these ancient cultures. Here's her story.
We caught up with Jin Jin and her father, Mr. Jing, at the airport. He spent the holidays with her, here in Israel, and now he is returning to China.
[Jin Jin, Kaifeng Jew]:
"When I was a little child, my father always told me, 'you are Jewish, you should go back to Israel,' so I said, 'ok, I am Jewish, I should go back to Israel.'"
Jin Jin has been living in Israel for the past two years and learned to speak Hebrew. She can now translate Jewish scri ptures into Chinese, to help the Jewish community in Kaifeng.
[Jin Jin, Kaifeng Jew]:
In Israel it's according to the mother, but in China it's according to father. So, since my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather is Jewish, so my father is Jewish and I am Jewish."
Like all religious Jews ,Mr. Jing wears a Tsisit under his shirt and a Kippa on his head. He shows us his Kippaand explains.
[Mr. Jing, Jin Jin's Father]:
"Here it says Kaifeng in Hebrew. Here it says Kaifeng in English. It's handmade!"
So how is it possible that Jin Jins ancestors were Jewish? We went to see Michael Freund to find out. He specializes in locating descendants of Jews around the world and helps them return to Israel.
[Michael Freund, Chairman, Shavei Israel]:
"There was a Jewish community in Kaifeng for over a thousand years. Jews first arrived there around the eighth of the ninth century, along the silk route. They settled in Kaifeng which at the time was one of the imperial capitals of China. And over the centuries, a Jewish community in every respect, took root there."
Back at the airport, it's time to say goodbye.
[Jin Jin, Kaifeng Jews]:
"I think my father is right, there is a land that God promised to us. Yes, it is our home."

Mazda is the only New Zealand motor company which can offer a choice of towbar styles for each model.
We have developed a range of hybrid style tow bars with both fixed or removable tongue.
While most will be familiar with a permanent fixed tongue tow bar, many New Zealand manufacturers have been supplying a "Shin saver" type of rubber collar because everybody knows that someone is going to walk into the tongue and probably do some painful damage to their shins.
Mazda thinks a better solution is to detach the tongue and keep this in the boot while not actively towing. This is usually only for a small percentage of time anyway.
We believe that your car will look so much better without a tow bar present when you actively towing.
Some people believe that European style tow bar tongues look unusual and this is usually the case to our southern hemisphere tastes.
These European style tow bars are designed to be removed very easily and stored "out of sight".
Mazda has solutions for fixed or removable tongues with traditional 1⅞" or 50mm tow balls.
When Installed to manufacturer's instructions Mazda Tow Bars meet at least one of the following standard's.
However in most cases more than one standard is accomplished.
All Mazda Genuine Towbars are subject to "On the Vehicle" testing certified by a Chartered Professional Engineer and a LTNZ HVET Specialist inspector.
Discuss your tow bar needs and options with your dealer.
