The Dirt on Soap
Legend has it that around 2,500 years ago, along the banks of the river Tiber, on the lower slopes of mythical Mt. Sapo, handmaidens would wash clothes. Upstream was a temple, the site of ritual animal sacrifice. On days following rain, maidens noticed the river water produced whitish clumps. When fabrics were rubbed with the clumps, the whites were whiter and the colors were brighter. Legend continues that...

Originally written on The Cardinal Connect | Last updated 11/6/12
As I've mentioned numerous times over the past few weeks, this year's Louisville team has a lot of talent. When you consider how the season ended last year, it's hard to argue that Chane Behanan wouldn't be expected to be Louisville's top returning player. Unfortunately, the majority of the discussion regarding Chane Behanan has been about his mysterious suspension. With the MVP of the Western Region in last year's NCAA Tournament suspended for both of Louisville's exhibition games and a "50-50" shot at playing in the season opener, I expected Card Nation to be in panic mode. Although there are some fans concerned about Behanan's situation, the play of freshman Montrezl Harrell has put a majority of the fan base at ease. In all three of Louisville's Red-White scrimmages and their first exhibition game against Pikeville last week, Harrell has arguably been just as impressive as anyone on the team. In previous weeks I've sort of shot down the idea of Montrezl Harrell realistically st

I'm relaxed, enjoy being around people and having fun, and laughing. BBall is my favorite sport to play and watch(NBA, go Sixers!). I love comedy(stand-up big time) and good movies, my loves go back to the silents with chaplin than talkies with chaplin, love abott(Costello's whatever) than bogart, than brando and newman, and than there is a list starting in the 70's that is way to ridiculous to list but nearly half are from SNL, but without a good script or at least some good lines, what you got is nada. LOVE films and T.V shows. Best screenwriters are woody allen, wes Anderson, Kevin Smith, the coen brothers, chaplin, whatever apatow gets involved with, tarintino, whoever wrote Friday night lights the show, and etc. I'm out in L.A to work on my comedy, but also trying to be realistic and use my degree, right now I'm catering and looking for a career, and working on the stand-up on the side. And I'm dropping money on this site to hopefully meet the right one, but just meeting new people is good too. A day without laughter is a day wasted.- chaplin quote once again.

Hello! A little bit about myself... I am a...
Hello! A little bit about myself... I am a Northern California native and have had the opportunity to live in a few different places across the states. I have an incredible group of friends and am very close with my family. I am passionate about my work and am doing my best to make the world a better place. I absolutely love traveling as well as learning and experiencing new things. When I have free time, I enjoy reading (books, newspapers, magazines), playing outdoors (hiking, camping, basketball, boating), traveling to a new place (museum, national park, bookstore), listening to music, going out to eat or cooking a really good meal and visiting family and friends. Basically, I enjoy doing a bit of everything. I am in a great place in my life and am just looking for someone who wants to explore the world with me... whether it be taking a walk in the neighborhood, learning how to fly fish or discovering the unknown.

Neighbors, officials celebrate LBJ Freeway sound wall
Heat climbed into the 90s late Wednesday morning at Armstrong Park in Garland. But as some 60 elected officials, transportation experts and neighbors gathered in the sun, nobody complained about the weather.
Noise from adjacent LBJ Freeway was the bigger problem — and has been for about half a century. Thursday was the celebration of a $3.6 million solution, breaking ground on a sound wall.
At 12 feet in height and nearly a mile in length, it may become known as the Great Wall of Garland. It's also the first of nine sound walls approved for the 11 miles of LBJ Freeway between Central Expressway and Interstate 30.
By all accounts, it gained priority because neighbors refused to let the issue die. Like the noise itself, they weren't going away.
"These folks were beating the crap out of me," said John Willis, who represented the area on the Garland City Council from 2008-14. He made sure state officials were brought into the conversation. "I decided to share the pain."
Indeed, State Representatives Cindy Burkett and Kenneth Sheets and, more recently, Senators Bob Hall and Don Huffines, were on a first-name basis with many of the neighbors at Thursday's event.
"John made sure that we were not going to ignore you," Sheets told the crowd. Well, I'm pretty sure that's what he said. It was hard to hear the electeds at the podium between surges of LBJ traffic in the background.
It is estimated the sound wall will reduce noise levels by 5 to 8 decibels.

Easy Recycled Christmas Ornament 2

The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Use old Christmas cards to create ornaments in a flash with iron-on threads and cookie cutter shapes. Pop these into holiday gift bags or mail the flat ornaments with this year's Christmas cards. These ornaments are a snap!
- Kreinik 1/8" Iron-on Ribbon in your choice of colors (we like 6130 Red, 6225 Gold, 6300 Meadow, 6010 Pearl, or 6020 Silver)
- Kreinik #16 Iron-on Braid in your choice of colors
- Kreinik #8 Iron-on Braid in your choice of colors
- Kreinik teflon press cloth
- Cookie cutters in desired shapes (we used a house shape)
- Old Christmas cards
- Mini iron or household iron
- Ironing surface
- Pen or pencil for tracing
- Scissors
- Turn your iron on to the highest heat setting and let it heat thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, trace the outline of the cookie cutter shape onto your Christmas cards, then cut out.
- To begin decorating, lay your iron-on ribbon at the edge of your card design. Cover the thread with the Teflon Press Cloth, then press for several seconds until the thread adheres. Continue this way, laying the thread around the border. You may want to start and end at the top of your design so that you can leave extra thread for the loop.
- If desired, decorate other parts of the card with the thinner iron-on braids. Always use the Teflon Press Cloth to keep the adhesive in the thread from sticking to your iron.
- Use the thin Iron-on #8 Braid to make your initials or write the year on the front or back of the card ornament.

Labour of our heroes past...
The labour of our heroes past shall Never be in vain. To serve with heart And might, one Nation bound in freedom Peace and unity?
The above stanza in our national anthem is, sadly, not the reality presently. The labour of our heroes past has embarrassingly been plunged into murky waters of corruption, insecurity, bitterness, poverty, discord, and the list is endless! Call me paranoid, or whatever name you may want to call me, I don't care. The fact remains that I am scared to die for this misguided country. The past weeks in the New Year have been enough to make me so frightened.
My country, our country has no care for human lives; the labour of our heroes past. When I say heroes, I am not referring to our past political leaders who gained independence for us. I refer, here, to the idealistic but helpless men who were dragooned to fight in the civil war of 1967. Whether they fought on Biafran side or on Nigerian platoon, these men fought for a purpose. They fought a war that should have ordinarily taught post-war generations of Nigeria a big lesson in nation building.
The colonialists may have mixed us together for their selfish reasons, forgetting or callously choosing to ignore our sensitive differences in language, culture and religion. For some years we have managed to tolerate our differences and tried to move together despite being hobbled by fundamental issues. We all believe in oneness of Nigeria. The 1967 mistake caused us pains and human loss. Why would anyone have wished a repeat of the gory past?
If we hate unity and peace that much, I think our heroes past would have been more than happy to drop their guns and return home to their families. There would have been no need for this deluding cliché: "to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done". The Biafrans would have gladly gone off to their own settlement in peace and Nigerians to theirs. Maybe now, we all would appreciate each other better. Or perhaps, if I had to get a passport to cross to the North to see my friends Idris Abubakar and Zeenat Ibrahim, I would appreciate them more?
However, to further divide us more, ethnic militancy groups like Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafria (MASSOB), Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) and Boko Haram are given recognition and toddlers are growing up to identify with group fighting their ethnic cause. This is a clear indication of our disunity. Why do we prefer to exalt in our individuality as a tribe rather than in our strength as a nation? Why do we use racist words such as Omo Ibo, Onye Ofe Mmanu, Nyanmiri and other derogatory words to qualify our fellow citizens?
Developed countries that understand the meaning of love in diversity have enacted laws to bar the use of these abusive words. Hate and disunity should be obsolete things that should make to shudder in repulsion at the thought of it. We all need each other to exist. I enjoy the vegetables my Hausa customer brings form the North, and he enjoys the palm oil my grandmother produce in my village. I swear to God I love my northern friends. God knows I want Nigeria to remain one.
Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun and Iyayi's Heroes, have exposed me to the gory sides of a war. I get goose pimples each time I recall those ugly scenes. I will hate to experience the horror in reality.
Call it a mistake, call it a blessing, the deed has been done since the 1914 amalgamation. It is a part of our history which we must live with. Nigeria is ours and it must remain so. Let the division stop, so that the souls of men and women who died in the civil war would not curse whatever remains of a country, of which cause they gave their last drop of blood.

THERE may be grounds for doubling the number of African elephant species, according to DNA evidence comparing the genomes of the living elephant species and extinct relatives. The finding backs arguments for conserving savannah and forest elephants separately, rather than treating them as one species.
"The forest elephant is half the size of the savannah elephant and lives in the forest. Their body shape and how they look is quite different," says David Reich, an evolutionary biologist at Harvard Medical School.
Reich and colleagues compared the DNA of 375 genes for the forest, savannah and Asian elephants, and the extinct woolly mammoth; and also from the extinct mastodon which split from these elephant groups much earlier in their evolutionary history (PLoS Biology, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.1000564). They looked at the differences in the DNA to estimate when each population diverged. "What was really surprising was that the forest elephant and the savannah elephant were as diverged as the Asian elephant and woolly mammoth," says Reich.
The study suggests that the two African elephants split at least 2.5 million years ago, and possibly much earlier, although Pascal Tassy at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France, warns that looking at historical genetic divergence does not give the final word on separating species.

Sherwood Boehlert, a New York Republican and chairman of the House Science Committee, told Sean O'Keefe, head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, that the investigative board's charter must be rewritten to specify that it is not bound by NASA's policies and timetables and that it is not dependent on the agency's staff or cooperation.
But O'Keefe, appearing on Capitol Hill for the first time since the space shuttle disintegrated over Texas on Feb. 1, stopped short of promising changes to the investigative board, which is led by retired Navy Adm. Harold W. Gehman Jr.
"We will make changes in any way Admiral Gehman says is necessary," O'Keefe said under questioning.
O'Keefe has resisted calls for the creation of a presidential commission similar to the one that studied the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger in 1986.
O'Keefe said he had told Gehman that he could expand the board to include more outsiders if he saw fit, and he promised to consult with Gehman about potential changes to the board's charter.
"We need to go back and to soul-search on that to make sure that there is absolutely no way [the charter] can be misconstrued," O'Keefe said after the hearing, a joint session of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee and the House Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics.
Several Democrats from both chambers expressed concerns that NASA would exercise too much influence over the board's investigation.
"Mr. O'Keefe," said Rep. Bart Gordon of Tennessee, the senior Democrat on the subcommittee, "I'm afraid this won't pass anybody's smell test."
Sen. Byron L. Dorgan, a North Dakota Democrat, said a presidential commission should be convened, as in the case of the Challenger explosion.
"In almost any situation of this type," Dorgan said, "an agency can't effectively investigate itself."
Congressional aides said they have been talking to Gehman about amending the charter and expect revisions to ensure the panel's independence. Gehman and the other board members could not be reached for comment yesterday, a NASA spokesman said.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Gehman sounded confident that his board is as independent as it needs to be.
"We're going to work just as hard, just as fast, put just as many days in. We're going to get just as much cooperation from everybody involved, no matter who signed our charter," he said.
Also at yesterday's hearing on Capitol Hill, O'Keefe defended NASA's conclusion during Columbia's 16-day mission that possible damage to the shuttle's thermal tiles had not harmed the orbiter in a way that would cause a catastrophe during re-entry.
The day after the launch, NASA engineers reviewing footage of the takeoff noted that a piece of insulating foam appeared to fall off the external fuel tank and strike the shuttle's left wing, possibly damaging protective tiles on the shuttle's underside.
NASA convened a panel to determine whether the incident could pose a risk to the shuttle; its members concluded that it would not. That conclusion has been called into question in light of Columbia's disintigration upon its descent.
"There were no abnormalities that would suggest that problem until 8:53 a.m. on Feb. 1," six minutes before NASA lost communications with Columbia, O'Keefe said. "All the information we have now ... suggests no abnormalities that would have pointed in that direction at all."

Many cruises that call at Rio overnight at the city, so passengers can sample its many charms and lively nightlife. Some stops are timed to coincide with Carnaval (at the start of Lent in February or March) one of the planet's biggest parties with balls and street parades at Sambodromo Stadium, Rua Marques de Saprocal. The elaborate parades feature costumed revelers, floats and entries from top samba schools. Ships that visit Rio during Carnaval generally organize optional shore excursions with reserved seats at the stadium for passengers.

Sugar Loaf Mountain, another of Rio's iconic spots, rises to an elevation of 1,312 feet at the mouth of Guanabara Bay --this bay, incidentally, was the point of arrival for Portuguese explorer Gaspar de Lemos in 1502 --he built a small fort and claimed the bay for Portugal. A cable car takes to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain -- as do hiking trails -- where visitors may watch for marmosets and other birds. Morro da Urca is a separate, lower mountain with a flat top, directly below Sugar Loaf Mountain. A variety of lookout points at both mountains offer views of the city and the bay. Helicopter tours are available to sightsee both at Corcovado and Sugar Loaf Mountains and some cruise ships offer them as options.
Other must-sees include the Parque Nacional da Tijuca with forests that dress the Carioca Mountains ("carioca" is also the name given to residents of Rio) and walks and trails for nature lovers, and the Monasterio de Sao Bento, a hilltop Benedictine monastery that dates from the 16th century located to the north of Rio's city center. The interior of its church features gilt ornamentation in Brazilian Baroque style. Still other Rio highlights include Praca XV, the city's colonial plaza at Rua 1 de Marco, with historic buildings; the Botanical Gardens with some 8,000 plants and trees at Rua Jardin Botanico 1008; the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes, Rio Branco Avenue 199, with an 20,000-piece collection of art including works by Brazilian artists and such international masters as Rodin and Debret; and the Museu Historico Nacional with exhibits detailing Brazil's history at Praca Marechal Ancora.
Those who would simply like to catch some rays are in the right place --Rio has world-famous beaches in which to do so. Among them are Copacabana Beach, stretching for 1.5 miles from the Morro do Leme to Arpoador. This beach sets the scene for one of Rio's liveliest New Year's Eve celebrations with concerts and fireworks. On any given day, kids from the favelas (poor neighborhoods) use Copacabana Beach's wide sands to play soccer, a top national pastime. Other famous beaches include Ipanema and Leblon, located at fashionable neighborhoods of the same names. Sports like beach volleyball are practiced here and beach massages are offered. Beachside cafes are popular spots for a cool drink or snack before or after a swim.
After the day is done, nightclubs and bars beckon. Two to try if your ship stays in port overnight are Mistura Fina, Rangia Elizabeth Belgica 770 (between Copacabana and Ipanema Beaches) with Bossa Nova acts from the 1960s and international artists; and Bar Luiz, Rua du Carioca 62, in Rio, a bar/restaurant serving delectable "petiscos" (tapas) and draught beer.
Local flavors not to be missed include tropical fruit juices like the Acai, an Amazonian palm berry drink said to be packed with vitamins, and grilled meats --Brazil is famous for them--that can be enjoyed at a variety of grilled meat restaurants or "churrasquerias" including the Esplanada Grill, Rua Barrao da Torre 600 in Ipanema. You can wash it all down with "capirinhas" cocktails (a mixture of lime juice and "cachaca," a Brazilian cane brandy, lightly sweetened.
Cruise lines that visit Rio de Janeiro include Azamara, Celebrity, Holland America, MSC, Oceania, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Seabourn and Silversea.

Just as I was finishing writing about the deal that brought defenseman Brayden McNabb to SoCal, the Los Angeles Kings finalized their deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets to acquire veteran forward Marian Gaborik.
The deal is done but what most fans in Los Angeles were worried about, yours truly included, was who the Kings would give up in return. The answer: two conditional draft picks and Matt Frattin.
Of course, I'd be lying if I said that the only aspect of this deal I was worried about was who'd they trade to Columbus. Before that, I was reluctant about the Kings acquiring a player who, despite his enormous talent, is prone to getting hurt - and someone coming off a collarbone injury.
Gaborik, who just turned 32 on Valentine's Day, was limited to just 22 games this season but did score six goals and eight assists during that time. Those numbers may not be overly impressive but the Slovakian's scoring rate this season has been better than that of some of the current Kings. In addition, Gaborik brings something to the table that the silver-and-black don't have much of: speed. That coupled with his 6'1, 204-pound frame could come in handy down the stretch.
Financially, Gaborik is making a whopping $7.5 million this season but is an unrestricted free agent this summer. While Kings' GM Dean Lombardi has never been crazy about trading for rentals, that might be just what Gaborik will be for the Los Angeles Kings. After all, Lombardi didn't have to give up too much: the two conditional picks and a player.
Speaking of said player, sending Matt Frattin to Columbus means no more of the Jonathan Bernier trade compensation in Los Angeles after Ben Scrivens was traded to Edmonton in January. While that news does sound unfortunate, it's not. Despite my initials hope and belief, Matt Frattin has been nothing short of a colossal disappointment during his stay in Los Angeles. I don't mean to sound as harsh as I do but when a team trades a bona fide starter in Jonathan Bernier, one would hope that whoever they receive in return will help out their new club. While Scrivens did do his part earlier in the season, Frattin just wasn't effective at all with this new team.
After putting up 13 points in 25 games for Toronto during the lockout-shortened season last year, Frattin scored just two goals and four assists in 40 games with the silver-and-black this season. Plus, with his departure, the Kings are left with one less pending RFA to deal with. They do, however, still have Dwight King and Linden Vey in that category.
It's unknown whether this is the last of the trades for the 2012 Stanley Cup champions but Marian Gaborik is now the newest member of the Los Angeles Kings.

The TV chef, famed for his no-nonsense approach and Michelin-star food, has confirmed he will open a restaurant at Hotel Indigo Glasgow late next month.
Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill will be situated on the ground floor of the hotel on Waterloo Street and will offer the chef's own brand of "affordable glamour".
He said the restaurant would also cater for different budgets. He said: "It's been a long time in the planning, but I'm absolutely delighted to open my first city centre restaurant in Glasgow - a city that I love.
"Glasgow has a vibrant dining scene and I look forward to offering Glaswegians a taste of something a little bit different; my recipe for 'affordable glamour' which is all about serving quality food at affordable prices. It isn't about Michelin standard food, which for most is experienced as a one-off or for a very special occasion."

YIELD: Serves 6 to 8
Brown the brisket. Heat the oven to 325°F. Mix together the salt, paprika, mustard seed, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and cook until brown on both sides, turning once—5 to 7 minutes per side.
Bake the brisket. Transfer the brisket to a baking dish just large enough to hold it. Then add the rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Add the chopped vegetables and pour in the veal stock, wine, and vinegar. Cover the dish with heavy-duty aluminum foil and bake until the brisket is fork-tender—3 to 4 hours. Transfer the brisket temporarily to a plate while you strain the liquid through a mesh strainer into a small saucepan (discard the herbs, vegetables, and garlic) and wash and dry the baking dish.
Press the brisket. Return the brisket to the clean baking dish. Place another heavy dish on top of it, directly on the meat, to weight it down. The ideal weight for this is 2. pounds, so add some canned goods to the top dish. Then wrap the entire assemblage in foil (over weights and all) and refrigerate overnight and until shortly before ready to serve.
Make the sauce. Meanwhile, heat the strained braising liquid over medium heat until it is reduced to about 2. cups—about 20 minutes. The finished sauce should have a glaze-like consistency. Taste the sauce and add salt or pepper if you wish. Refrigerate the sauce until ready to reheat the brisket.
Complete the brisket. Shortly before ready to serve, remove the brisket from refrigerator and transfer to a cutting board. Also remove the sauce. Cut the brisket into 3-inch cubes: You don't want to waste any of the meat, so the cubes don't need to be exactly this size or perfect along the edges. Place the brisket in a pan just large enough to hold it in a single layer. Pour in enough sauce to just cover the meat (you may add a little stock or water if there isn't enough sauce to do this). Heat over low heat until warmed through—about 10 minutes. Spoon the brisket onto a serving platter; pour the sauce over and serve.
The Jewish Brisket, Modernized
Todd: The exalted position that brisket holds in Jewish American cooking cannot be underestimated. My first exposure to it was interesting as well as inspirational.
Ellen: He came over to our house for the holidays and had his first brisket, which (sorry Mom) was somewhat dry. Braising isn't her forte. Unfortunately, Todd met my grandmother and Aunt Lil in the last few years of their lives when they weren't cooking much anymore, so he never got to taste their brisket, which was glorious.
Todd: The thing about brisket is that it needs to be braised low and slow to keep it moist and then cut against the grain. The traditional way of making Jewish brisket is as a pot roast: searing it and braising for three hours or so in a fairly low oven, often with lots of onions.
I like a non-traditional version that utilizes French technique. You braise the meat (with red wine, veal stock, and balsamic vinegar), then remove it from the braising liquid once it's cooked, press it down with weights to compress it and then refrigerate it. This compacts the meat and presses excess fat out of it. Once the meat is cold, you cut it into 5-ounce blocks (known as pavés in French, which means cobblestones) and reheat them in strained and reduced braising liquid. It's an elegant, modern version of brisket.

Occupy Albany

Monthly Archive for December, 2011
What the Misinformation Surrounding the Eviction Tells Us
The city's professed health and safety concerns which were used to justify the violent eviction of Occupy Albany were so open and brazen a lie that they can only have been uttered in reliance on our willingness to accept an obvious lie in order not to challenge the lie that we have allowed to become the foundation of American society. That lie, of course, is that our governments are legitimately elected representative bodies who rule over us in our own name and interest and that those governments have not been bought by monied interests whose chief concern is protecting and augmenting the wealth of the privileged few.

The occupation is Dead, Long Live the Occupation!!!
Occupy Albany, like occupations across the country, has been rousted, jailed, pepper sprayed and threatened with violence by our local and state government.

Our Eviction from Academy Park
Last night we were removed from Academy Park with little-to-no prior warning. Despite constant contact with city attorneys, an order to clear the park was presented to a judge for approval. We attempted to negotiate with the judge, but our compromises were roundly rejected. We were given some time to remove our belongings, but not […] [Read More]
A Midwinter Education
From Occupier Dan Lyles Many people are having to deal, quite painfully, with the fact that the city government is a smiling, fanged thing that pretends to be their friend, but is basically vicious.

Like our popular "Inside the LEI" series, Alacra's latest Reference Data Alert goes"Inside the GIIN" to detail this identifier and the universe it covers.
The GIIN or Global Intermediary Identifier Number is issued by the IRS to foreign financial institutions (FFIs) as part of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). The goal of FATCA is to reduce US tax evasion by requiring FFIs such as banks, funds, trusts, asset managers and insurance companies to report certain information to the IRS about their US accounts. While insitutions can choose not to comply with this requirement they will be subject to a 30 percent withholding tax on some of their US-sourced payments. In addition, noncompliance could be perceived as an attempt to shield US tax evaders and can create an unnecessary reputational risk for the the institution.

In the world of KYC, Google has become a ubiquitous component of client onboarding, CDD, EDD and Vendor Due Diligence best practices. Searches are often written once and then enshrined in procedures. As a supplement to checks against traditional sanctions, public record, PEP, criminal record, litigation and specialized adverse media providers, a Google search can reveal valuable, risk relevant insights. However, a simple Google search on the subject name will return a great number of results, most of which are neither adverse nor relevant. Many financial institutions attempt to reduce the results to a more manageable quantity by using Boolean logic. That's where it gets a little tricky.
Google's search algorithm evolvesGoogle is often admired for its agility, and its ability to create, deploy, assess market demand for and decide the fate of new products in a matter of days. The search algorithms are similarly agile, constantly changing to improve the search experience. For this reason, the search string entered today may yield different results tomorrow. Why is this?
Google's algorithms learn something about your preferences every time you search. Future search results are then ordered based on your implied areas of interest. So your employees' lunchtime surfing activities could lead to different search results from different users.
Publishers have access to a powerful range of SEO tools and are constantly working to make sure their results are as high on the search results list as possible. Google, from time to time, will improve the algorithms. A recent example is that when you search from a mobile device, priority is given to content that is highly compatible with the mobile devices, potentially demoting relevant information.
You say tomato, I say tomato
Google operates country specific domains, each of which presents search results with a geographical preference. So if like the former British Empire, the sun never sets on your KYC process, you could see significantly different news results depending on which country the search is conducted in. Try searching for "Parliament" at www.google.com, www.google.co.il and www.google.co.uk.
Do you speak Google?
Seasoned investigators, IT professionals and programmers share a common language of syntax, operators, wildcards and other tools that help target and refine searches. The challenge is that Google's syntax is dynamic and unique. For example:
Of course in the above examples, as the search results are the same, it doesn't really matter if you have redundant AND, parenthesis, ~ or + operators. However, there are other scenarios in which knowing how to speak Google will improve your results:
Try searching:
"one OR two OR three OR four OR five OR six OR seven OR eight OR nine OR ten OR eleven OR twelve OR thirteen OR fourteen OR fifteen OR sixteen OR seventeen OR eighteen OR nineteen OR twenty OR twentyone OR twentytwo OR twentythree OR twentyfour OR twentyfive OR twentysix OR twentyseven OR twentyeight OR twentynine OR thirty OR thirtyone OR thirtytwo OR thirtythree"
and you will receive the following error message:
"thirtythree" (and any subsequent words) was ignored because we limit queries to 32 words.

Hello, and welcome to the Smacking of Smackdown, the only Smackdown review on the web written by a communist hipster douche. If you're feeling generous do me a solid and Facebook/Tweet/Google +/Reddit/Tout/Carrier Pigeon this thing to everyone you know, because friendship is magic.
In case this is your first time here, you should know that this isn't like the traditional recap/review that you'll see on this website, because recaps bore me and I'm not very good at them anyway. So what I do is just group things into two columns; Smacked Up (good) and Smacked Down (bad). But, in case you're the type that can't function unless things are in chronological order, here's a helpful guide to aide you in the mind-bending world of non-linear writing.
Randy Orton in-ring segment
The Food Competition
Mark Henry defeated Curtis Axel
Los Matadores defeated the Plymouth Rockers
CM Punk, Wyatt Family in-ring segment
Tons of Funk defeated R-Truth & Xavier Woods
Antonio Cesaro defeated Titus O'Neil by DQ
Awesome Main-Event Nonsense
Anyway, let's get the bad stuff out of the way first.
(Most) images courtesy of WWE.com
Of Course They Had a Food Eating Contest
In a move that was surprising to absolutely no one, WWE celebrated the holiday of giving thanks by jammed a bunch of their Superstars into a small room filled with fake looking food except for the one table that was filled with a bounty that would be used to make one guy blow chunks less than two hours later. I generally don't have a problem with stupid schtick like this as long as it stays short and backstage where I can ignore it, but when you cram a guy with more food than some impoverished children will see in a lifetime, and then put him in a match with a super-human who is basically a human Tilt-A-Whirl, I can connect the dots well enough to conclude that this was going to lead to something terrible.
Nice to see the Gooker is still working though.
I'm Not Sure How to Feel About This
Look, I'll be the first person to say we need more equality in wrestling. Not just gender equality, but little people should be treated with a little more respect for their in-ring abilities, especially if they are as good as Mascarita Dorada and aren't a wrestling buddy brought to life by the Blue Fairy like Hornswoggle. There shouldn't be a size requirement on whether or not someone can or should be successful in a choreographed wrestling match where the winner is predetermined. If someone is skilled, they can beat a guy twice their size. Rey Mysterio has made an entire career based on this principle.
So no, my issue isn't that a small person beat a big person. I like El Torito for his ability, and think he should beat everyone in 3MB with ease, because they are in-canon f**king terrible. Heath Slater got punked out by Flo Rida, so it's not that hard for me to imagine him jobbing to someone with actual in-ring ability no matter how tall they are. My issue is that I'd prefer if Mascarita Dorada—a guy who is genuinely more talented than the majority of mid-level talent WWE is currently employing—didn't have to dress like a goddamn bovine to get noticed.
I know we're probably a long way off from genuine equality in professional wrestling (unless you're watching Chikara) but I don't think I'm asking much when I say a little person shouldn't have to dress like a furry to get some decent in-ring action. But at the end of the day wrestling is still just carnival bullshit, and you need people that are different than you to point at and go "That's weird" so it's whatever.
You Are A Hypocrite, Brodus Clay
Or Hippo-crite, if you want to be punny about it.
Here's a list of Brodus Clay's grievances with Xavier Woods:
1) Xavier stole his entrance music
2) He also stole the Funkadactyls
3) He's a rookie
4) He isn't a main-eventer
And here's the reality of Brodus Clay's situation:
1) Yeah he used Brodus' entrance music, but it's not like it was written for Brodus. It was re-purposed to him when Ernest Miller didn't work out in WWE. So it's not really his music anyway, it's just one of those songs that's in the communal WWE pool that gets redistributed after a character has been gone long enough so only smarks and Internet types will be the ones that notice. It's a dumb thing to fight over, especially since neither of them is as good as Ernest Miller.
2) The Funkadactyls are not Brodus Clay's property. They are two free-thinking women who are currently more successful than the fat dancing dinosaur they accompany to the ring. Don't go down this road with me Brodus, it will not end well for you.
3) Xavier Woods has been a professional wrestler for close to 10 years, and has spend three of those years in WWE developmental. If he's a "rookie" than so is Bray Wyatt and his family. Please go try starting this outdated elitism with them Brodus, I dare you.
4) You are not a main-eventer, Brodus Clay. You are a fat dancing dinosaur that pals around with a guy that hits like a wrecking ball and has an Asian fetish. Xavier Woods might be the K-Kwik to R-Truth's Road Dogg, but at least he doesn't have a racist jokes at WrestleMania stink on him that he's still trying to wash off.
Adam Sandler Must've Written This Smackdown
What did I tell you?
Randy Orton Finally Shuts Up
Yeah, me too Renee.
Triple H is the king shit of unnecessary exposition, but Randy Orton is no slouch in that department either. Sometimes when I see Randy picking up the stick I pull out my pre-made list of chores to do while Randy Orton babbles on about the events of his day in exhausting detail and see how much I can get done before he's interrupted. Thankfully though Renee asked him a question he was confused about for some reason, and Orton had to clam up and walk away to try and process the question.
Still, it could have gone better. If I were writing Smackdown, the interview would've been even shorter:
Renee- You know you're going to lose at TLC, right?
Orton- ...Yeah.
Renee- Do you want to go back to the locker room?
Orton- ...Yeah.
Renee- Okay, go back to the locker room.
End scene.
Mark Henry and Big E Langston is a Friendship I Can Get Behind
Because Ryback and Curtis Axel are still hanging out together (because seriously, who else will be their friends? They at least have something in common) the returning Mark Henry (!!!) was accompanied by new Intercontinental Champion Big E Langston (!!!) and they immediately became the powerlifting BFF's of my dreams.
If you follow Danielle Matheson on Twitter (and if you don't, you should) you'd learn that friendship based wrestling is the BEST wrestling, and it showed here. Big E kept Ryback out of the match, intimidated Axel when he tried to bail early, and assisted Henry with raising arms. It was fun, and if that Carlton and Uncle Phil joke wasn't already beaten into the ground, I probably would have made it here.
I also have to point out how good Henry looks, and I don't mean just because of his haircut. He's slimmed down a bit, and while he's still a monster of a man, he's more flexible and looking healthier than he has in a while. I don't know how much more Henry has in the tank, but the dude that high kicked Curtis Axel on Friday looks like he's got a whole lot more left.
Well This Just Kept Getting Better
A lot of things happened in and around the main-event, and I'm going to try and cover everything without my brain melting.
First, CM Punk spent some time wondering where the f**k Bray Wyatt took Daniel Bryan. Bray explained it by saying "It's all good bra, he's with us and comfortable and stuff" and Punk was like "Nuh uh" and got mad (I assume the Wyatts took Bryan because of his beard (I actually assume it's because Triple H is getting tired of those Daniel Bryan chants and think s that making him a psychopathic hillbilly will get us to stop cheering for the popular dude not named Triple H)).
This led to some shenanigans in the main-event tag team title match between my beautiful Cody and his golden brother against The Shield, because CM Punk had some energy to burn and The Shield is just as bad as the Wyatt's in his eyes I guess, so the match was turned into a six-man tag.
This was AWESOME mind you, because six-man tags are kind of Smackdown's thing, and they are insanely hard to screw up. But THEN shit got even more crazy when the Wyatt's showed up and started looking at everyone all creepily, some words were said, fisticuffs were thrown, and then Rey Mysterio and the Usos showed up and it was turned into a 12-man tag team match.
At this point I looked exactly like this:
It's one thing to make a 12-man tag match, but it's another to systematically build toward it through run-ins and nonsense that makes it all the better. I'm counting the three matches as one simply because f**k you, I'll do what I want, but mostly because it flowed like a wrestling match should. It was no longer a tag team title match, but I'm never going to complain when you add more great professional wrestlers to a professional wrestling match.
So what did you think of Smackdown? Let us know in the comments. Thanks for reading. Next week's article will just be a bunch of GIF's and me typing "And then I felt like this" so I can apply for a job at Buzzfeed.

Why Join The Co-op?
People often ask me, "What is the benefit of joining the co-op?" I would answer this way: At all too many of the places where we do our shopping (including the online shopping world), we customers are viewed as little more than consumers, and as consumers we have little say in how stores are run. Sure, we can take our business elsewhere, and savvy retailers will respond by changing the product mix, redesigning the store, and doing whatever else is necessary to make sure that customers keep on coming in to shop. The beauty of a co-op is that, from its creation, its construction, and its operation, members have both the right and the responsibility to speak up and say how the co-op ought to be run.
That sounds a lot like what it takes to be a good citizen.
David Ahlfeld, one of the earliest members of the Amherst Community Co-op and now our newest steering committee member, has said,
"We citizens need more practice at creating cooperative institutions. The Market has gotten very good at gauging needs and interests and then quickly creating products and services. The average citizen can live without ever engaging with their community to create something. It is all just provided, from afar, at a price. The culture is diminished as a result. What a great opportunity the co-op provides to practice these skills."
A cooperative is made up of the very community it serves and it is governed by representatives of that community. Its success is measured by the degree to which it is inclusive of all the members of the community. In short, a cooperative is an excellent place to practice that most basic duty of a citizen: individuals participating and working toward the greater good of their neighborhoods, their communities, and ultimately their country. The Amherst Community Co-op will give everyone in the community quite literally the chance to design our own market, and beyond that, it will be a priceless opportunity for people to develop the habits of citizenship.
By joining the Amherst Community Co-op, you cast your vote as a member of the community that wants more autonomy, more of a say in what our town's market sells. By joining, you are telling our prospective lenders -- the financial institutions and foundations that will play an indispensable role in actually building the store -- that our community really wants its own market and is prepared to support it. Let's join together to build a market that is truly representative of our community's values!
Hurray! We've Reached 111 Founding Member-Owners!
Very exciting news- we've hit 111 founding member-owners!! What an incredible feeling this is, and thank you to everyone who has supported us thus far.

We've Kicked Off Our Membership Drive!
We had so much fun kicking off our Membership Drive on Saturday the 12th! Around 150 people came to show their support, and we couldn't have been happier with the turnout. [photo credit: Rebekah Hanlon]Read more
You're Invited to Amherst Community Co-op's Membership Drive Kick-off Event!
Amherst Community Co-op is holding its official membership drive kickoff event on Saturday, April 12th. The event will be at the Immanuel Lutheran Church at 867 North Pleasant Street in Amherst, from 4 to 6pm.
The steering committee for ACC has worked for three years to gauge community interest and build support. Amherst's response has been overwhelmingly positive, from the town planner to the Chamber of Commerce to the many shoppers at local farmer's markets. The co-op is now ready to offer equity to the public. This event will be the first chance to buy founding member shares. There will be free food, music, and child care. The event is free and open to the public.
Numerous local co-ops and businesses will be there to promote this new cooperative grocery. Real Pickles has offered samples of their cooperatively-produced pickles and sauerkraut. Apex Orchards will provide a variety of locally-grown apples. Bart's Ice Cream will serve samples of their ice cream, a Valley favorite. Backyard Bakery will be giving samples of hearty bread baked here in Amherst. Guests will be able to sample coffee from Rao's Cafe, and snack on popcorn popped by UMass Five College Credit Union.
Gary Hirshberg, the chairman and co-founder of Stonyfield Farm, will be the keynote speaker. Mr. Hirshberg is a very successful agricultural entrepreneur, having founded the largest producer of organic yogurt in the US. As one of the first graduates of Hampshire College, he has strong ties to the Pioneer Valley. His choice of business shows his obvious commitment to sustainability and the local food movement, and starting this full-scale food co-op in Amherst is a logical extension of that philosophy. He will be introduced by Hampshire College President Jonathan Lash, who is spearheading the school's Healthy Food Transition, an initiative supported by a grant of $1 million from Hirshberg.
Other speakers will include Art Ames, General Manager of the Berkshire Co-op in Great Barrington. Art will discuss the importance of maintaining the balance between providing responsible food and keeping important staple products accessible for all patrons who need them. The Berkshire Co-op participates in a program called The Basics that ensures that all customers can affordably purchase important foods, such as bread, eggs, peanut butter and beans. Amherst Community Co-op plans to implement a similar program.
We will also hear from Jessica Montagna and Angie Gregory, worker-owners of Simple Diaper and Linen, who will speak to the worker-ownership component of our co-op.
Parking for this event will be available on-site. We encourage any who are interested in attending to RSVP via email at email@example.com, through our Facebook page, clicking the orange button at the end of this post, or by filling out one of our self-addressed, stamped invitations that we are handing out at the Amherst Winter Farmers' Market and other events.
The Numbers Are In...
We have received the final amount that was raised through ticket sales at the February 1st screening of Food For Change - $1867.50! This brings a little more than 15% of the way towards our initial fundraising goal of $20,000, which is beyond encouraging and very exciting.
This event could not have been possible without the support and help from our friends at River Valley Market, Green Fields Market, The Old Creamery Co-op, and Home Planet Pictures. And of course, thank you to every person who attended the event!
Next up for Amherst Community Co-op is our Membership Kick-off Drive! We hope you will attend and join as a founding member of our cooperative.
Date: Saturday, April 12th, 2014
Time: 4:00 - 6:00 pm
Location: Immanuel Lutheran Church, 867 North Pleasant Street, Amherst MA.
There will be live jazz music, free kids' games, food and drink donated by local businesses (including Bart's Ice Cream!), and guest speakers. We are excited to announce that Gary Hirshberg, founder of Stonyfield Farms, will be our keynote speaker! Please shoot us an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have further questions.
Happy almost spring!

It appears that there is a nut on the valve pin which needs to be loosened before air can be added or released. I am wondering if it is necessary to depress the valve pin before air can be added to the tube. With the nut on the valve pin loosened, will the pump push air into the tube with out having to depress the valve pin.
I am trying to come up with a system so that I can be confident that the air pressure in the tube is the pressure that was indicated on the pump after the inflator is disconnected. It seems that some air escapes when the inflator is disconnected.
So if someone can explain exactly how these air valves work, then maybe I can put my mind at ease.

It is hard to celebrate the past in an ecumenical way, or even in a fair-minded one, apparently.
Benjamin Franklin believed in prayer but stressed the importance of ecumenical "public religion."
Where are the Jewish leaders, who led an ecumenical campaign to free Soviet Jewry that inspired people all over the world?
late 16c., "representing the entire (Christian) world," formed in English as an ecclesiastical word, from Late Latin oecumenicus "general, universal," from Greek oikoumenikos, from he oikoumene ge "the inhabited world (as known to the ancient Greeks); the Greeks and their neighbors considered as developed human society," from oikoumenos, present passive participle of oikein "inhabit," from oikos "house, habitation" (see villa).
