Letter: ID request rebuffed
Jim Williams, Memphis
Last August Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security commissioner Bill Gibbons wrote a Guest Column titled "Obtaining voter ID needn't be a burden." He apparently had never encountered the Millington Driver Service Center.
I am a senior with a non-photo driver's license. I recently tried to obtain a photo ID at that center, but unfortunately encountered staff not fully informed of the guidelines.
According to Gibbons' article and the tn.gov web site, quoted below, I have two ID options:
"You may obtain free photo ID for voting at the nearest Department of Safety and Homeland Security driver service center. To obtain a free photo ID, you will need: Proof of citizenship (such as a birth certificate), and two proofs of Tennessee residency (such as your voter registration card, a utility bill, vehicle registration/title, or bank statement). . . .
"If you have a non-photo driver's license, the Department of Safety and Homeland Security or participating county clerks' offices will add your photo to your license free of charge."
I had all the documents listed above and more, including my voter registration card and proof of my Social Security number. The employee showed no interest in any of them and only asked to see my driver's license. Although I said I wanted a photo ID, it became clear the paperwork was for a new driver's license. I said I did not want my license replaced, but wanted the photo ID instead. She told me that if I wanted a photo ID, I would have to replace my non-photo license for a photo one.
Seniors who are 65 and older may obtain a permanent photo ID, and this makes more sense to me. That is the option I wanted but was unable to obtain. I wasted time and gas on a 28-mile round trip.
It is not the place of the Millington Driver Service Center to tell me what ID I must have. The state Republican Party is responsible for this ID mess. I hope those senior citizens who have managed to obtain a photo ID remember this when they vote.

USA gave Transylvania to European Mexicans (Romanians), so it is only fair Texas goes to real Mexicans.<quoted text>
And Hungary should go to SLOvakia, too! Dumb arse.
Thankfully, there was one decent American, Major General Harry Hill
General Bandholtzs daily contact with the Romanian military and diplomatic personnel for these six months gave him a unique learning experience. He made no secret about his conclusions. On November 11, 1919, he wrote in his Diary:It is simply impossible to conceive such national depravity as those miserable Latins of Southeast Europe are displaying.
Having spent six months in Hungary, General Bandholtz was impressed by the Hungarians. Before his departure he concluded in his Diary:
Personally I came here rather inclined to condone or extenuate much of the Roumanian procedure, but their outrageous conduct in violation of all international law, decency, and humane considerations, has made me become an advocate of the Hungarian cause. Turning over portions of Hungary with its civilized and refined population will be like turning over Texas and California to
the Mexicans. The great Powers of the Allies should hang their heads in shame for what they allowed to take place in this country after an armistice.

Most Helpful Opinion
Girls hate it when guys mess around. What you have to do is call her and ask her, straight up, what is going on. Tell her your feelings for her, and what makes her special. Tell her she's different and special and her boyfriend was dumb to dump her. Tell her that was the past, and the future should be spent with you.

Black Heart Sweet Potato Vine Ipomoea batatas
Garnet-purple, heart-shaped foliage
Plant Needs
Use in hanging baskets, beds, borders and window boxes
Ipomoeas are great additions to combination planters, but they can sometimes overwhelm less vigorous plants. If you are like me you can let your combination plants duke it out Darwinian style, however, if you prefer to keep a more balanced look to your combination planters, you can cut back or remove stems at any time.
Ipomoeas also make great annual groundcovers in the landscape. They love the heat and humidity (growing up to 36" a week in the Deep South), cooler temperatures and low humidity cause them to stay more compact.
While Sweet Potatoes all come from the same parent material out of Southeast Asia, there is a big difference between the Sweet Potato you buy in the store and the tubers produced by the Sweet Caroline and the Illusion plants. Commercial sweet potatoes have been bred for over 100 years selecting for those with the best sugar to starch content (hence the name SWEET Potato), the ornamental have been bred to produce good leaves and no tubers, though they do form, they are composed of almost pure starch and no sugar; making them a poor choice for eating. So yes you can eat the tubers, but don't expect anyone to come back for seconds! Also always be careful when eating any ornamental plant unless you know how it was grown, and if pesticides or fungicides were used on it before you got it; a tuber is a storage root, and yes they store chemical as well as starch.
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.

text: I went to the first grad nite last night. Went on Rock It Mountain 3 times. Every line was a walk on and there were only about 5 schools there. So not that crowded in the park. But anyway back to Rock It Mountain. The first lift hill and second lift hill were different. And while on the ride you are able to see all of the tracks and even the ceiling. Whenever you went around a turn red and purple lights were flashing. The music was also different. But usually on the regular SM the projections on the wall are asteriods and planets. But on RIM the projections are people dancing...this is the only thing i didnt like about the ride. Also as you are going up the lift hill a voice comes on and says something about the class of 2006. and right at the end where they take the pic the audio comes back on and says "Congratulations class of 2006 you have made it through the intergalactic space travel. There was also a fireworks show. But it seemed like they used all of the effects from "Remember Dreams Come True" show but mixed it up. The music was all different types from Gwen Stefani to Black Eyed Peas. Tinkerbell also came down from the Matterhorn, it was a little wierd to see her come down to the music of Gwen but that is just my opinion. I will post pics later.

There are multiple sources of federal funding for advanced energy research, development, and demonstration programs. However businesses often have difficulty finding required matching funds, lack support in developing applications, and need commercialization services after the funding is secured. To help address those needs, NextEnergy launched the MATch (Michigan Accelerating Technologies) Energy Grant on December 1, 2012. It is funded by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and provides matching funds to eligible Michigan businesses and universities applying for advanced energy-related federal funding. Our goal is to leverage public and private resources as an incentive to drive increased federal support of Michigan advanced energy organizations. The matching funds directly support the commercialization process for applied research projects, and seek to transform federal programs into job growth for the state of Michigan.
- In addition to matching funds, NextEnergy will provide federal funding application services to select companies and universities with high-quality proposals to better position them for success.
- For selected companies and universities who go on to win competitively-bid federal funding opportunities, NextEnergy will also provide commercialization services as needed (eg. technology to market intelligence, value chain analysis, etc.)
It is highly recommended that you apply for the MATch Energy Grant early in your federal grant application process. This will allow NextEnergy staff time to assess your needs and support you throughout the process.
For more information, please contact Danny Allen at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 313.833.0100.
*SBIR/STTR grants are not eligible for MATch Energy grant consideration. For more information about SBIR/STTR grants, please visit Emerging Technologies Fund and BBC.
**Please contact us only if you are currently in the process of applying for a specific federal agency or department Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). A current list of eligible funding opportunities is available in the feed below.

For you to be certain that you will have four points, every pair of which is connected by a red line, or four points, every pair of which is connected by a green line, you will need 18 points, and for you to be certain that there will be five points with this property, you will need -- it's not known exactly - between 43 and 55. With enough points, you will inevitably find unicolored islands of order as big as you want, no matter how you color the lines.
A whole mathematical subdiscipline has grown up devoted to proving theorems of this same general form: How big does a set have to be so that there will always be some subset of a given size that it will constitute an island of order of some sort?
Ramsey-type theorems may even be part of the explanation (along, of course, with Diaconis' dictum) for some of the equidistant letter sequences that constitute the bible codes. Any sufficiently long sequence of symbols, especially one written in the restricted vocabulary of ancient Hebrew, is going to contain subsequences that appear meaningful.
Finally, of more direct relevance to evolution and the origin of living complexity is the work of Stuart Kauffman. In his book, "At Home in the Universe," he discusses what he has termed the aforementioned notion of "order for free."
Motivated by the idea of hundreds of genes in a genome turning on and off other genes and the order and pattern that nevertheless exist, Kauffman asks us to consider a large collection of 10,000 light bulbs, each bulb having inputs from two other bulbs in the collection.
Assume that you connect these bulbs at random, that a clock ticks off one-second intervals, and that at each tick each bulb either goes on or off according to some arbitrarily selected rule. For some bulbs, the rule might be to go off at any instant unless both inputs are on the previous instant. For others it might be to go on at any instant if at least one of the inputs is off the previous instant. Given the random connections and random assignment of rules, it would be natural to expect the collection of bulbs to flicker chaotically with no apparent pattern.
What happens, however, is that very soon one observes order for free, more or less stable cycles of light configurations, different ones for different initial conditions. Kauffman proposes that some phenomenon of this sort supplements or accentuates the effects of natural selection.
Although there is certainly no need for yet another argument against the seemingly ineradicable silliness of "creation science," these light bulb experiments and the unexpected order that occurs so naturally in them do seem to provide one.
In any case, order for free and apparent complexity greater than we might naively expect are no basis for believing in God as traditionally defined. Of course, we can always redefine God to be an inevitable island of order or some sort of emergent mathematical entity. If we do that, the above considerations can be taken as indicating that such a pattern will necessarily exist, but that's hardly what people mean by God.
John Allen Paulos, a professor of mathematics at Temple University, is the author of the best-sellers "Innumeracy" and "A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper," as well as of the just-released "Irreligion: A Mathematician Explains Why The Arguments for God Just Don't Add Up " His "Who's Counting?" column on ABCNEWS.com appears the first weekend of every month.

Chiefs cement top spot
Tikoirotuma bags four in high-scoring thriller
Last Updated: 02/06/12 2:01pm
Winger Alaesi Tikoirotuma played a starring role as the Waikato Chiefs beat the Auckland Blues 41-34 to consolidate top spot in the Super Rugby standings.
Tikoirotuma ran in four tries - equalling the record for an individual in a Super Rugby match - including the winner, to ensure the New Zealanders break for the June Test matches in pole position.
Tikoirotuma's first try, in the 15th minute, gave the Chiefs a 10-7 advantage and they held that lead to the end, though it was constantly under siege from the determined Blues who were galvanized by the return of backline stars Rene Ranger and Rudi Wulf.
The Chiefs opened up a 20-10 lead after 31 minutes when All Blacks midfield star Sonny Bill Williams crashed through a number of would-be tacklers to score his third try of the season.
But Auckland showed the spirit that prevailed throughout the match when they struck back with a try, conversion and penalty to winger Lachie Munro to level the scores at 20-20 by half-time.
The Chiefs edged ahead again courtesy of Tikoirorutma's well-taken second try and on 55 minutes the game looked up for the Blues when the Fijian-born wing completed his hat-trick to put the visitors 34-20 to the good.
But, inspired by the sin-binning of Michael Fitzgerald, the Blues hit back once more and stunning individual scores from Wulf and Ranger tied the scores at 34-34 with 14 minutes remaining.
With both sides threatening the try-line, it took a moment of attacking brilliance from the league leaders to seal victory.
All Blacks fly-half Aaron Cruden put in a perfectly weighted kick for Tikoirotuma and the wing showed electrifying pace to win the race to the ball and touch down.

Dunigan 'Y' breaks ground for $3.5 million expansion
To be completed by December
EVANSVILLE - After four years of planning and fundraising, the YMCA of Southwestern Indiana has begun construction on a 20,000 square foot expansion at its East Side facility.
A groundbreaking Wednesday marked the start of the $3.5 million project at the Lowell and Helen Dunigan Family YMCA at 6846 Oak Grove Road. Completion is expected by December.
Plans include construction of an outdoor splash pad with fun activity features and an outdoor space for teen activities. The expansion also includes a new early childhood learning center, an expanded youth and teen activity center, expanded health and wellness center, a new cycling studio, and three additional multipurpose rooms for youth, adult and senior programming.
Jim Sandgren, president of the YMCA Board of Directors, said, to date, about $3.2 million has been raised from a combination of 75 individuals, corporations and the Dunigan family's continuous support. The funds are in the form of multiyear pledges that the YMCA will receive over the next five years.
Larry Dunigan's family became involved with the YMCA when the East Side location was being planned. He said he feels humbled to have this expansion in honor of his parents, Lowell and Helen Dunigan.
"I'm grateful for how we have been blessed and how we are able to share some of those blessings with the community," Dunigan said.
Dunigan, 69, said this project has "gone beyond our wildest hopes and dreams."
Derrick Stewart, CEO of YMCA of Southwestern Indiana, is enthusiastic about the future of the YMCA.
"I'm excited about the opportunities that this will create," he said. "The support that we've gotten from the community to raise over $3 million to make this a reality. The fact that we're actually out there moving dirt. And that we sort of have an idea when this is going to be finished and open."
With more than 26,000 members and program participants visiting the Dunigan Y each month, and more 60 percent of those members being family units, Stewart believes this project will engage youths to join youth programs, develop character, build self esteem and teach core values.
"I think more than anything, the YMCA is committed to responding to the needs of our community," Stewart said. "To add a new youth activity center, almost 70 percent bigger than the core youth activity center, to encourage kids to be active, have fun, get out from in front of a television, out from inside the house and get out in their community and build relationships with other kids. To add more wellness space to encourage adults and seniors to be active, be healthy, and to make good decisions about their health and well being."
"We would've liked to maybe have started the project a couple years earlier," Sandgren said, "but as we dealt with the downturn of the economy, we felt that it'd be best to try to time it right, and I think things are starting to slowly recover."
With most of the construction happening on the outside of the building, Stewart said only minor inconveniences will occur during certain stages. Those will include the track needing to be closed for about two weeks, and when it's time to connect the existing building with the new expansion.
"We think we can make it a pretty seamless process for our folks using the Y," Stewart said.
Dunigan is eager about the addition and believes it will help the community.
"From day one the only complaint I ever heard about the Y was that it was so full and it was so busy that people had a hard time getting in," he said. "And I think perhaps this addition will help in that area."

As promised, here is a dispatch from the knitting basket.
I've finished my first pair of toe-up socks. They were destined to be a Christmas present, but when I saw how well they fit on my own feet, I uh, changed my mind. And, I'm fully converted to knitting toe up socks with a short row heel. They fit way better than the heel flap in my opinion.
Of course, not a day went by without me considering what socks to knit next. I've long planned to combine some sock remnants with a solid yarn. I've had this Nature's Palette in my stash for ages and this leftover Pagemill sock that I've been longing to see together... here are the results:
I'm almost done with the second ball of my Clapotis, just 1.5 balls to go. This is the project that is taking up most of my time. I really want to finish it in the next week or two so I'll have time to make a bunch of little things :)
I've also (guilt twinge) added to the yarn stash. I blame the BMFA mill sale. I didn't make it there, instead buying some stuff off of ravelry. I think I still saved money this way, but still added to the never ending yarn stash. When will I get the time to knit all of this yarn?
So how's your knitting going? What have you added to your stash?
I'm Angela.
Mom. Wife. Crafter. Succulent Gardener. Co-op Preschool Parent. Housing Activist.
What's going on now?
Became a housing activist. Knitting at city council meetings is much more fun than I imagined.

"Braves Close To Acquiring Octavio Dotel
Interesting development via Ken Rosenthal: the Braves are close to a deal for Royals' closer Octavio Dotel. They apparently have made a better offer than finalists Cleveland and Los Angeles.
Royals GM Dayton Moore knows his way around Atlanta's farm system, of course. He had all kinds of player development roles within the Braves organization. The Braves' top three prospects heading into the season per Baseball America were Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Elvis Andrus, and Matt Harrison. With those three out of the picture perhaps Moore is going for outfielder Brandon Jones or first baseman Scott Thorman.
Quite a day for Atlanta...now to snag a starter..."
wouldnt it be nice to9 see the Reds someday better themselves to WIN?? i hate the braves, but i wish we had their ownership

The Other Boleyn Girl is based on a wideyl inaccurate and absurd historical novel by the otherwise gifted writer, Phillipa Gregory. It is about Mary Boleyn, Anne Boleyn's older sister, who had a brief affair with Henry VIII before Anne captivated the king and convinced him to divorce his first wife, the Spanish Katherine of Aragon.
The movie, like the book, tries to make Mary, an unimportant and rather silly and trampy girl, into a likeable character by blackening the image of her more (in)famous and infinitely more facinating sister. Gregory perpetuates the wild myths and slanders that have dogged Anne throughout history during her lifetime and long afterward, even though most modern historians have dismissed or disproven them... and then presents them as historical facts. The movie is even more annoying in that the characters frequently speak into the camera, "revealing their thoughts" to the viewers... a jarring and bizarre directoral decision, because I'm pretty sure film cameras weren't invented in the 16th century. But is that being too picky?
Bad acting from usually gifted actresses is likely due to the appauling script. While no movie really comes close to giving audiences a real glimpse into the character of Anne Boleyn, this one is much worse than most.... don't even think about renting this one... trust me!
Incestuous royal romp.
I have many griefs with this movie, so let me break them down.
First, the movie is a huge departure from the book. Huge. So much so that I think it warrents another title. Maybe "The Boleyn Sisters." I don't know. But to have the same title as the book and not carry any of the themes or ideals with it isn't right. One of the best aspects of the book is that you really connect to Mary and her storyline. You share the ups and downs of her story. To me, this was more about Anne Boleyn than Mary. Both sisters come off in a very different light than the book depicts. That to me, makes it an entirely different story.
The cinematography was just horrible. In such a rich and presitigious age, I feel that it could have been much more beautiful and majestic looking. The camera is shaking during parts and frankly, I don't understand some of the camera angles during scenes. And I say that being a photographer. It could have been carried off in a much different manner and produced a higher quality film.
The story itself was jumpy. There was no flow to the storyline. Perhaps that is because they butchered the basis of the book so bad they had to at least show the few main scenes that had to happen. Mary's romance, Anne's Romance, and then Anne's execution. Instead of flowing and telling the story, the movie actually jumps for scene to scene and forces the story to happen.
Bodice-ripper? Not even close. There are 3 big name, attractive movie stars in this book. The love scenes and passion could have been scaled way up. You don't feel any sort of love and affection between Henry and Mary and then you don't feel sexual tension between Henry and Anne. There are only two instances were you feel the Anne actually even stepping up and being provacative with her actions and words. And then suddenly both Anne and the King say they are "equals." Very strange and feels out of place.
I can't say anything about the acting. I found it to be pretty good but the movie unfortunately, can't survive without a more concise storyline. I'm more surprised that the 3 stars signed onto the movie. But, without them, it would be straight to DVD or a TV non- HBO mini-series.
This was a decent period piece. Eric Bana did a wonderful job as a young King Henry. You can even imagine him growing into the much older and fatter Henry that we all know and love outside of the Twentieth Century youth-obsessed versions epitomized by Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the Showtime TV-show, The Tudors. Scarlett Johansson did Mary Boleyn justice while Natalie Portman simply infused women's live into her role as Anne Boleyn making Eric Bana's Henry VIII as a wimpy character simply defined by his lust for Anne. Historically, his desire for Anne was much more complicated than what was portrayed. It was almost an insult to my intelligence how easy it was for Henry to dismiss his religion based on Anne's whims and his own sexual desires, too easy that is. Otherwise, this was a fast-paced movie and I nearly did not realize how the two hours simply went by. Jim Sturgess, as the Boleyn brother named George, also portrayed his character as a complete wimp, when indeed some suggest that the historical George may have been a homosexual and thus another sort of sexual deviant for the time period. It was not simply how she said, he said would have played out. An accusation taken so seriously by the King without any evidence seems a bit odd in the circumstance after all that had taken place. Check out the movie, but understand that the bantor was simply that. This movie makes a lot of suggestions that the viewer just has to accept. Although I never take these movies as complete historical, it would have been nicer if the movie seemed a bit more historical.
This weekend my wife and I went to see 'The Other Boleyn Girl." Despite the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes this movie is excellent. All actors gave a wonderful performance. Particularly intriguing performance by Natalie Portman. She was exceptional. Her emotions came out on each scene as it should have been portrayed. We also watched this season "There Will Be Blood" and could not even remember the movie. You walked away wondering - huh? With "The Other Boleyn Girl" you left with happy and sad emotions both pulled.
I am most always disappointed with a movie when I have read the book beforehand so I knew what to expect yesterday when my husband and I went to see "The Other Boleyn Girl." Not only was this movie a disapointment from the book, it was a bad movie all the way around. I don't imagine Philippa Gregory is too happy to have her name strung along behind this movie. This movie was a sappy mess
:) Theatre
My Review: This is fiction - it's not historically correct. You go to this movie for the entertainment value, not for historical accuracy, although I agree that if the movie was to be made at all, it could have been more accurate. However, it was entertaining. The lead characters were fine, but Natalie Portman stole the show. The costumes, sets and locations were wonderful. It was an enjoyable two hours as it had all the elements of a good story: intrigue, treachery, suspense, sex, loyalty, deceit, and murder.
Based on the best selling novel by Philippa Gregory, The Other Boleyn Girl is an engrossing and sensual tale of intrigue, romance, and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in history. Two sisters, Anne (Natalie Portman) and Mary (Scarlett Johansson) Boleyn, are driven by their ambitious father and uncle to advance the family's power and status by courting the affections of the King of England (Eric Bana). Leaving behind the simplicity of country life, the girls are thrust into the dangerous and thrilling world of court life -- and what began as a bid to help their family develops into a ruthless rivalry between Anne and Mary for the love of the king. Initially, Mary wins King Henry's favor and becomes his mistress, bearing him an illegitimate child. But Anne, clever, conniving, and fearless, edges aside both her sister and Henry's wife, Queen Katherine of Aragon, in her relentless pursuit of the king. Despite Mary's genuine feelings for Henry, her sister Anne has her sights set on the ultimate prize; Anne will not stop until she is Queen of England. As the Boleyn girls battle for the love of a king -- one driven by ambition, the other by true affection -- England is torn apart. Despite the dramatic consequences, the Boleyn girls ultimately find strength and loyalty in each other, and they remain forever connected by their bond as sisters.
See it for the pure emotions that these amazing actors show on screen and somehow inspire in your own heart as you watch an incredible plot unfold. Admittedly, the plot unfold hurriedly at certain points, but it allows more time for the worthwhile parts - the clashes, interactions, and conflicts between characters. Natalie, Scarlett, and Eric are at their best here.
This movie will leave you feeling blown away, one by the emotions, two by its reality. Every moment is intense, and it carries along quickly enough to always keep you holding your breath in concern for one of its characters. Although there are two divisive sides in the story, you cannot help but cheer for both and lament that only one can conquer. It is a movie to witness innocence and raw ambition, and the responsibility/power/horrors of love.
'The Other Boleyn Girl'
Directed by Justin Chadwick
Nothing about The Other Boleyn Girl feels original or freash. We all know the story about King Henry's desire for a male heir and his struggle to do so. In this case, two sisters compete against their will to be the mistress turned wife that can bring the King a son, and their family wealth. Unfortunately this is an easy, safe, and predictable movie that for lack of a better term, is kind of boring.
I just felt kind of like I was waiting for the inevitable to happen, and that lets in a lack of suspense. Natlie Portman and Scarlett Johansson are fine as the two female leads, but its Eric Bana who pretty much underwhelms throughout. I don't think Bana has ever really been impressive except for his role in Munich.
Anyways, betrayal and family greed lead to a game of musical chairs between King Henry's mistresses, but the whole thing is meant to get us to say, "Oh, how awful!". Which it is, but this is a part of history that we're all too familiar with.
The Other Boleyn Girl tries to impress us with wideshots of the English Channel and extravagant costumes, but in all honesty, that's just not enough now-a-days. I hears someone say after the movie, "It was really well done". But I hate that argument these days. Pretty much every movie that comes out every single week has a nice, healthy budget behind it. Even TV miniseries' can afford large, beautiful, intimidating costumes. It's what you do apart from those other films that seperates you.
In this case, its being compared to the other countless period piece movies, and it just doesn't do enough to seperate itself in this day-and-age where people seem to have a short leash for the genre.
Grade: C+
I just kept wanting to scream to the women in the theater what REALLY happened in the book. I really, truthfully HATED this movie. The book was AWESOME, I read it several times and am re-reading it again. They left out SO much of the book! And I read a review that said Phillipa Gregory knew they were going to tone the movie down a little bit...but for me, they really didnt. They took it up a notch, in fact (at least in one part). For instance, I have no memory of Anne being raped by King Henry in the book, and in the movie he rips her skirt up and starts poundin' away! And yes, they cut out that George and Anne ACTUALLY SLEPT TOGETHER....hence the monster child Anne gives birth to later...they also cut out that Mary had TWO (2) children with the King; Mary was married to William when she was eleven, while Anne was in the French Court; Mary is the Queen's favorite "lady-in-waiting; Anne comes back, falls in love with Henry Percy, marries him, and is banished to HEVER, the family castle; while Anne is at Hever, Mary seduces and falls in love with the King; Mary gets preggo, Anne comes back to court to help her and to keep the Kings eye on the Boleyn/Howard Family, Mary has baby GIRL named Catherine, Mary goes back the King, but he is Anne's during the day and Mary's at night; Mary becomes pregnant again, has a BOY Henry. By this time the King is enchanted with Anne, but still looks to Mary for comfort.
I'm tired of bitching now...but seriously, they didn't even cut this much out of the effing Harry Potter books.

New York enacts first gun control measure since Connecticut school massacre
U.S. President Barack Obama will unveil his own proposals in response to the Newtown, Conn., tragedy on Wednesday.

ALBANY, N.Y.—Jumping out ahead of Washington, New York enacted the United States' toughest gun restrictions Tuesday and the first since the Connecticut school shooting, including an expanded assault-weapon ban and mandatory background checks for buying ammunition.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the measure into law less than an hour after it won final passage in the state legislature, with supporters hailing it as a model for the U.S. and gun-rights activists condemning it as a knee-jerk piece of legislation that won't make anyone safer and is too extreme to win support in the rest of the country.
"Common sense can win," Cuomo said. "You can overpower the extremists with intelligence and with reason and with common sense."
Owners of an estimated 1 million previously legal semi-automatic rifles, like the Bushmaster model used to kill 20 children and six adults in Newtown, Conn., a month ago, will be allowed to keep their weapons but will have a year to register them with police.
In another provision, therapists, doctors and other mental health professionals will be required to tell state authorities if a patient threatens to use a gun illegally. The patient's weapon could then be taken away.
Richard Aborn, president of the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City, said Cuomo clearly understood gun violence is a complex issue requiring solutions more comprehensive than simply banning a particular weapon.
"I think that's an important message for the nation," he said.
In a statement, the National Rifle Association said: "These gun control schemes have failed in the past and will have no impact on public safety and crime."
"While lawmakers could have taken a step toward strengthening mental health reporting and focusing on criminals, they opted for trampling the rights of law-abiding gun owners in New York, and they did it under a veil of secrecy in the dark of night," the NRA said.
U.S. President Barack Obama will unveil his own proposals in response to the Newtown tragedy on Wednesday. He favours sweeping gun legislation, including a ban on assault weapons. But because of powerful opposition from the gun lobby, he is said to be weighing 19 steps he could take through executive action alone.

After two years of serving as the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator, Rob Chudzinski is now the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. But Panthers leading receiver Steve Smith says his goal of being the head guy was obtained at the expense of the Panthers offense. H/T: The Charlotte Observer "The prior offensive coordinator really was positioning himself to just apply for that head coaching job," Smith said Wednesday on a teleconference with Seattle reporters. "I think our offense suffered a little bit because of that. At times, we got cute," Smith said. "We did things that weren't necessarily us, like the under-utilizing of (fullback) Mike Tolbert. But we're out of that. The past is the past." I think Steve Smith hit the ball on the head here. The Panthers have always been a run first team and the past couple of years they got away from that. But in real life and especially in the cut throat word of the National Football League, people use folks to get ahead ALL THE TIME. Unfortunately, that's how most people at the top get there, so can we really fault him?

11-Year-Old Girl Escapes Arranged Marriage "I'd Rather Die" [VIDEO]
Even today, there are still customs around the world that many don't question.
Even today, there are still customs around the world that many don't question.
The royal baby is here. Kate Middleton went into labor around 6am London time and delivered a baby boy at 4:24pm. Watch live video.
A statuette at the Manchester Museum was recently captured by security footage showing the statue moving on its own.
Yesterday, there was a dramatic eruption of a Mexican volcano that was caught on video.
An airshow in Madrid, Spain ended in tragedy when a vintage jet slammed into the ground and exploded. The pilot reportedly survived the initial crash, but died at the hospital.
A civilian cargo plane crashed at Bagram Air Field north of Kabul in Afghanistan. Seven people were killed, four pilots, two mechanics and a load master. One of the victims has been identified as Brad Hasler, a father of two whose wife is pregnant, from Michigan.
In the words of Ron White, you can't fix stupid. In Germany, a group of friends wanted to make their own 'Harlem Shake' video in front of a bonfire. And it's like all the other 'Harlem Shake' videos. One guy dances by himself, then on cue, his other friends start dancing like crazy too. Only in this video one of the friends falls RIGHT INTO THE BONFIRE. Another friend drags him out and luckily he only suffered minor blisters.
A meteor lit up the sky in Argentina Sunday, and there are a bunch of different videos of it. It happened in the middle of the night, but it was so bright it looked like daytime for a split second.
Today is "Earth Day", a day when we recognize that we live on a fragile planet that needs our efforts to preserve it. Traditionally on this day, many local groups and individuals put forth efforts to help clean up parks, streets, creeks and streams from picking up litter to recycling discarded items.
Margaret Thatcher has died. According to AP on Twitter, the former UK Prime Minister suffered a stroke. She was 87.
While visiting Scotland PRINCE WILLIAM was dissed, by a four year old little girl. He and Kate Middleton were shaking hands with locals when William got shot down by a four-year-old girl he THOUGHT wanted a kiss from him. He asked if she wanted a kiss, but she yanked her head away right when he leaned in. Ouch!

- Senior Lecturer
- The Bartlett School of Architecture
- Faculty of the Built Environment
Barbara Penner is Senior Lecturer in Architectural History at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. She is author of Newlyweds on Tour: Honeymooning in Nineteenth-Century America (University of New Hampshire Press/University Press of New England, 2009) and co-editor of Ladies and Gents: Public Toilets and Gender (Temple University Press, 2009) and Gender Space Architecture (Routledge, 2000). She has most recently contributed essays to Toilet: The Politics of Sharing (NYU Press, 2010), Handbook of Interior Design (Berg, forthcoming) and Globalization in Practice (OUP, forthcoming). She is presently completing Bathroom, a cultural history of the bathroom (Reaktion, forthcoming).
In recent years, Barbara has been invited to give lectures in institutions across the UK, Japan, and North America, including at Aoyama Gakuin University, Cornell University, and the Canadian Centre for Architecture. She serves as a member of the editorial boards of The Journal of Architecture (2011-) and Interiors: Architecture, Design, Culture (2009-) and as a contributing editor to Places (www.places.designobserver.com/). With Charles Rice, she served as Books Reviews Editor for The Journal of Architecture (2006-2011). She is a Board Member of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain.
Barbara Penner's research covers a wide range of subjects: nineteenth-century commercial architecture (hotels and department stores); twentieth-century tourist destinations (honeymoon resorts); the domestic interior; urban infrastructure; and public conveniences. Her primary research question is how such seemingly everyday spaces and commercial building types enable the formation of particular social and cultural identities and can promote social inclusion or its opposite. Her work is consistently informed by an interest in feminism. It is also interdisciplinary in nature, typically drawing on work from anthropology, literary theory, history and cultural studies. Her experiences in the field have also led her to write explicitly about the impact of interdisciplinary studies on the disciplinary limits of architectural history.
Barbara is author of Newlyweds on Tour: Honeymooning in Nineteenth-Century America (University of New Hampshire Press/University Press of New England, 2009). She has also co-edited, with Olga Gershenson, Ladies and Gents: Public Toilets and Gender (Temple University Press, 2009), and with Jane Rendell and Iain Borden, Gender, Space, Architecture (Routledge, 2000). She has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed publications such as Winterthur Portfolio and The Journal of Architecture, edited collections such as Architecture and Tourism (Berg, 2004) and Negotiating Domesticity (Routledge, 2005) and journals such as Architectural Review, Cabinet and Places. She also enjoys an ongoing collaboration with Charles Rice (School of Art, Design, and Architecture, Kingston University). They have co-authored articles about the domestic interior and its representations, most recently in The Edwardian Sense: Art in Britain, 1901-1910 (Yale University Press, 2010).
Barbara's current project is a cultural history of bathrooms, under contract to Reaktion as part of their Objekt series (forthcoming, 2012). One of its main objects is to trace the rise and global spread of the Anglo-American bathroom. It considers how the Anglo-American model of water-borne sanitation, as well as its sanitary wares, have been successfully exported, leading to a global preference for Western-style bathrooms even in situations where it is not economically or ecologically viable or even culturally appropriate. With the assistance of a UCL Global Health Grant, her research has most recently taken her to South Africa, to consider the roll out of dry sanitation technologies and to explore the social and cultural resistance to alternate forms of provision.
Barbara has been an invited participant in several research groups, including Edwardian Opulence, Yale Centre for British Art (supported by the Andrew Mellon Foundation), Writing Art History, The Courtauld Institute of Art (supported by the Andrew Mellon Foundation), and Sensing Cities: Tokyo – London, Aoyama Gakuin University, UCL Bartlett, and UAL TrAIN (supported by the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation).
In her teaching, Barbara Penner aims to expand students' understanding of the social, cultural and material context of the built environment's production. Since 1997, she has taught a range of modules that have served undergraduate (Years 2 and 3) and postgraduate students (Masters and PhD). It is primarily through this work, that she has brought her own research interests to bear, running courses on subjects as varied as Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia, detective fiction as an urban genre, domestic design and identity, and the 'expanded field' of architecture in the 1960s. Since 2005, she has also co-taught the Masters module, Representation of Cities with Iain Borden and Ben Campkin, and has twice coordinated the Masters module Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Architecture, taught mainly through site visits in London.
Since 2003, Barbara has been the Director of BSc (Hons) Architectural Studies, a multi-disciplinary programme to provide students with an alternative to the BSc Architecture. The course has proved to be very successful and its graduates have gone on to further studies and/or careers in law, management, journalism, architectural history and the fine arts. Barbara is also the Director of the PhD Architectural History and Theory, as well as being the first supervisor to six PhD students who are researching topics from nineteenth-century convents to 1960s photographers. She has examined MPhil and PhD dissertations at institutions including Birkbeck College, Kingston University, Dublin Institute of Technology, Swansea Metropolitan University and UCL.
She welcomes inquiries from potential graduate students, particularly those interested in gender, sexuality, domesticity, consumerism, tourism, design history, interior culture, and infrastructure.

Although Emmitt Smith was eliminated from the weekly television competition on Tuesday night, 49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh is making sure the National Football League is still taking part in "Dancing with the Stars." Under the glare of local and national media attention at the team headquarters Wednesday, Harbaugh displayed a nifty 49ers Quick Step as he danced around the subject of the day -- the quarterback controversy involving Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick -- which he dismissed with a flourish by declaring, "We don't have a quarterback controversy." Harbaugh insists that is the name of the tune to which his team will dance, despite the fact he will not name which quarterback will start this Sunday in New Orleans. This issue became Topic A news, apparently not to be confused with controversy, when Kaepernick, the second-year quarterback from Nevada-Reno, started against the Chicago Bears Monday Night while the eighth-year veteran Smith sat out because of a concussion. Kaep...

- " There as a limited number of bathrooms and toilets. The shower spilled water and the floor was really wet. We could listen to the staff talking loudly from outside every morning. The room was really clean, bright and spacious. We missed plugs. "

- " I think this was the worst hostel where I have ever spent my vacation. Dirty, stinky rooms without windows. To enter your room, you have to cross another room, so you pay for a room with supposedly 4 beds, but in reality you are in a room with 12 beds, and since people sometimes have to leave and arrive, you will always be woken up. Stuff is not really helpful, except for one or two girls. There is only one shower for a full corridor, tehrefore sometimes you need to wait a lot for your turn. "

Pizza Pro Pizza Cutter promises DIY pizza antics
You can hear the infommercial now: "Do you love pizza? Do you find cutting it difficult? Then this is the ultimate kitchen gadget for you!"
What the heck is it? Well it's the Pizza Pro Pizza Cutter of course, designed to make light work of your pizza. If that's not all, the circular-saw shaped pizza cutter will, say IWOOT.com, "make you feel like the tough guy you are..."
No it's not motorised and don't ask us to clean it, it looks like it would be a bugger. Available in May, it will cost £10.99.
