The thing probably won't pass code.
Just keep him in jail. New Orleans has enough ex-cons rating its streets.
Go ask the kid how someone can point a gun at a stranger and pull the trigger. It wasn't difficult for this kid to kill, it's in his DNA. He is one of many who are raised to kill in New Orleans. He probably thought that he was overdue to kill. I mean he had reached middle age (for thugs) and was going to prove himself to his crowed.
It may just be me, but I don't want any rehabilitated killers running loose. They belong in one of the many Louisiana jails that the TP had recently raked over the coals. And if we don't have space for them, build another jail. These thugs aren't interested in a trade, they already have one. Put yourself in the place of the victim, not the criminal. If they truly get what they deserve, their headstone will be engraved with their prison number. This may sound cruel; but I have good kids out there who deserve Protection against society's misfits. Too late for one poor fellow.
And this paper wants to know why so many people around here are in jail. Maybe we should all consider this behavior as a different culture's means of working through a disagreement. This happens so often, that it seems to be the preferred solution to almost any grievance. I'm guessing extensive criminal records will be found, and people will ask, why they aren't in jail. My take on the whole Louisiana prison corporation thing is; put all the bad guys in jail for a long time. Do it before a 3 year old is shot. Don't listen to a newspaper that didn't rate amongst its owners enough to not kill the presses for 58% of its copy.
OK, in the past the city had an IT guy who wasn't an IT guy. Is this a case of a city electrician who isn't an electrician? I mean, we're talking about street lights. The technology has been around for a long time. If a fuse keeps blowing, use a crowbar as the fuse; the failing circuit will smoke or blow up. Replace the failing circuit and put the correct value fuse back in.
Those two just showed everybody that they can't handle their jobs. Good thing everyone doesn't run away from their problems, if that were the case we might be part of a 1000 year Reich.
How about calling it, the Louisiana State University Medical Center in New Orleans. I visited the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock a couple of weeks ago; and if that complex would of been named for a local personality , I would have already forgotten the name. Give the building a name that people from afar can relate to.
If the league has anything to say about it, the small markets would eliminate themselves before they reach that game. This year, the NBA loses on the front end (no game revenue) and on the back end. (small market matchups in playoffs) We have all seen that the NBA isn't interested in a level playing field (court); so our chances are slim.
"corral the city's most brutal criminals" That is a brilliant idea. Why hasn't someone thought of that before? Landrieu is a genius. We're saved.
And your paper reports on and sells a whole lot of crime stories. From Bill Jefferson to some low life who sells drugs to kids; not to mention a murder a day. Crime is big business around here. And these local yokel sheriffs aren't the only ones cashing in. The entire prison story wouldn't be possible without the business of crime. Face it, Louisiana has more than its fair share of criminals. And most of Louisiana's citizens don't mind that those who would choose crime would also end of in jail. If some of these thugs would go to jail sooner, rather than later, the TP would have fewer stories of crimes committed. I wonder how the TP feels about that. A criminal not confined may be the TP's next big story.
Didn't the taxpayers recently bailout the Auto Industry in her state? I bet she was all for that waste of taxpayer money. If left alone her auto industry would of all moved to right to work states (down South) in order to get away from $64.00 hr union workers. Hey Lady, The Federal Government, as a whole, is broken. Tweak your own states thirst for the taxpayers money before casting a net of guilt over the rest of us.
It OK to shoot at each other around here, as long as your not a cop shooting at a bad guy.
This paper had a story about why there are so many people in jail around here.
It looks like we have found the reason. It's because people like this thug are
crawling all over this state. Most in and around New Orleans.
And what does it take to go to jail for a long time?
These insurance companys love you (your money) until you file a claim.
How many people were shot in this metro area in just this last week.
My guess is that more criminals live outside of jail then in jail.
Put more in jail.
Statistics are color blind.
And I recall when the Boston Public Schools, bussing in of blacks, was met by a mob
of white parents in the mid 1970's. I doubt all those angry parents were southerners.
"Overly built stadium"? I recall walking to Tulane Stadium (80000 plus seats) through the same neighborhood. That walk was a, greet and meet, through a great New Orleans neighborhood. Seems like a faraway time. It's them and us now.
This will float your boat. Jefferson was sentenced by a Reagan
So this is her idea. Or have anonymous donors given Susan a contribution with a note attached. And the note reads,
"to prohibit the construction or expansion to existing structures of any building or facility within college and university campuses that will result in a building or facility in excess of 250,000 square feet of gross floor area and will cover a footprint of more than 50,000 square feet within any residential zoning district (in a designated zone)."

Specific Benefits
Here are some of the benefits of pre-planning and/or pre-paying at our funeral home:
1. At a time of death, it allows focusing on planning the funeral service rather than business transactions.
2. Making arrangements before a death is handling a family decision. Arranging at the time of death is dealing with a family crises.
3. You can select, with a clear mind, what you want and how much you want to spend.
4. You pay what a funeral costs this year, not what it will cost years from now.
Ex.– A $5,000.00 funeral will cost $7,765.00 in ten years at a national average increase of 4.5%. per year. An $8,500.00 funeral will cost $13,200.00 in ten years.
5. Your insurance-based funeral fund grows without any taxes to pay.
6. Any excess money in the fund is refunded to the estate or named beneficiary.
7. The funeral home will provide the services and merchandise previously selected for no additional cost, regardless of how long the insured person lives.
8. The funeral payment can qualify as an exemption from Medicaid / SSI. Should extended nursing care be needed, the money set aside for final expenses is protected.
9. If you need to begin with a payment plan, early Pay-Off Options are available
10. You have the benefit of knowing another step in planning for the future has been taken.
11. Husband and wife can plan together, not alone.
12. Relocating is not a problem. The funds set aside are transferable to another funeral home.
Personal Choice
Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice. Pre-planning provides you with the time needed to make practical, detailed decisions that reflect your standards, lifestyle, taste and budget. And we assure you and your family that the choices you make will be carried out as planned.
Lower Costs
When you finalize your plan, we can advise you of the total cost. You do not have to set aside funds for your plan, but doing so protects you against escalating funeral costs. By paying today's funeral costs you are ensuring that the necessary funds will be set aside and will help relieve yourself of unnecessary future worry and your survivors of an unexpected expense.

The Census Bureau's annual, national-level statistics on the characteristics of students, from nursery to graduate school. According to the statistics, enrollment in private elementary and high schools was 4.1 million in 2011, down from 4.8 million in 2005 and a high of 6.3 million in 1965. Furthermore, non-Hispanic white children now make up only a slight majority of elementary school students (54 percent), down from 58 percent in 2005.
For the first time, the Census Bureau has developed a series of charts illustrating trends in enrollment from 1947 to the present. These include the distribution of school enrollment by level from 1955 forward, trends in college enrollment by sex and by race, and dropout rates of students in 10th through 12th grades. Internet address: <https://www.census.gov/hhes/school/data/cps/historical/index.html>.
The tables provide information by age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, family income, type of college, employment status, nativity, foreign-born parentage, attendance status (full or part time), control of school (public or private), and vocational course enrollment. They explore issues such as nursery school and kindergarten enrollment, the likelihood of being enrolled below modal grade, and the percentage of young adults enrolled in college. The statistics are produced from the October School Enrollment Supplement to the Current Population Survey; historical tables are provided.
Internet addresses: Main page: <https://www.census.gov/hhes/school/index.html>
and Tables: <https://www.census.gov/hhes/school/data/cps/2011/tables.html>.
Tomorrow, the Census Bureau will release two short reports from the 2011 American Community Survey on the relationship between field of bachelor's degree, earnings and other characteristics, along with an associated infographic.

I grew up on chopped liver, from Grandmom's to my favorite Jersey diner's version (on one of those crazy traffic circles) but I never really saw chopped liver for the gourmet item it is. It's rich, so it is not everyday fare, but so delicious that I find a reason to eat it now and again. The Jewish New Year or Rosh Hashanah is the perfect time to celebrate Yiddish Cuisine and break out the family favorites. This recipe is quick and delicious!
Grandmom had a few rules for making this dish. Use chicken livers that have never been frozen. Chicken liver only, no other kind.
Use schmaltz, which is rendered goose or chicken fat. Gribenes (literally, "scrapings" in Yiddish) which is crispy chicken skin makes a nice garnish. So do Kosher dill pickles and pickled beets.
Hand chop the ingredients. Grandmom would never think of using a machine! The texture should be coarse, akin to a rustic pate du campagne, not smooth like a purée.
image: ediblearia.com
Chopped Liver with Schmaltz and Gribenes
1 pound chicken livers
2 cups finely chopped white onion
3 hard boiled eggs
6 Tablespoons schmaltz
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Gribenes to garnish
Preheat broiler to 500°. Broil livers close to the heat for 3 minutes or so. Remove from the rack and chop finely.
Melt the schmaltz in a heavy skillet and sauté the onions until just browned. Add the chopped livers and sauté for one minute more.
Pour the onion and livers into a mixing bowl. Separately chop the eggs fine and add to liver mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Miix all together until well blended.
Chill before serving. We like this spread on crispy little toasts.
Try this recipe for chopped liver with a good chardonnay or another medium dry white wine.

Below is the poem entitled sweet which was written by poet
nixon. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Simon Nixon
oh to love, ones heart might flutter
words loose meaning chock and stutter
love is heaven love is pure
to love soul wether rich or poor
to gaze apon a lover sleeping
a warm sensation, sweet, fulfilling
to hold them close, tight in ones arms
to be swept away, their sea of charms
feeling sick, the hurt, the pain
cannot wait to see them again
oh blissfull love do not dispare
my heart will carry you with utmost care
my minds a feild, lost in a daze
walking endless in her hearts maze
a fool of love a fool of hope
excape with me, my loves your rope
hearts might be torn not use to rejection
my heart is your for your my sence of perfection
and so with these words for you my heart beats
for you are my world, the sweeter of sweets

Fillies' youth basketball camp begins Aug. 3
Coach Kim Furnish and the Harrison County Basketball Fillies will hold their annual camp on Monday, Aug. 3, through Wednesday, Aug. 5.
The camp is for kindergarten through eighth grade. The camp will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. each of the three days.
The camp will feature instruction from Furnish and her staff along with some of the current high school team. There will also be a tee-shirt for each participant.
Kentucky's Lt. Gov. Crit Luallen was in Cynthiana Wednesday afternoon to help announce the relocation of Continental Mixer Solutions, which is a subsidiary of Commercial Specialty Truck Holdings (CSTH).
The company, which produces Ready-Mix truck bodies, will create 80 jobs and invest $2,125,738 into the Cynthiana project. Continental Mixers has moved to the facility shared by another CSTH subsidiary, E-Z Pack Refuse Hauling Solutions, which employs 100 people in Cynthiana.
Hampton aces No. 7 at Stoner Creek
Cynthiana's Doug Hampton scored his second hole in one Sunday playing in Paris at Stoner Creek Country Club. The ace came on hole No. 7 with Hampton using a six iron on the 161-yard hole.
"I hit the ball well but we thought the hole was in the back of the green," said Hampton. "When we drove up to the green, the hole was just off the front and we didn't see a ball. I waited in the cart for a few minutes before looking in the hole."

For Cynthiana mom Carman Thornton Ratliff, life as she knew it stopped on March 5. And it has yet to resume.
March 5 was the day a sledding trip, which should have been a happy outing for her outgoing, athletic teen daughter, turned into a tragedy.
That day, then-15-year-old Abby Ratliff's sled careened out of control and slammed into a mailbox. Abby's head smashed into the mailbox.
The impact of the collision caused Abby to suffer severe head trauma.

Eighty new jobs and a new partnership were announced last week when Lt. Gov. Crit Luallen and local dignitaries welcomed Continental Mixers to Cynthiana from Texas.
Frank Busicchia, president and partner with Commercial Specialty Truck Holdings LLC, said the company bought Continental Mixer Solutions and E-Z Pack Refuse Hauling Solutions within four months of each other in 2014.
He noted that the idea was to bring the two together in Cynthiana.

A man traveling through Harrison County on Sunday thought he was being pulled over, but sheriff's deputies say he ended up being robbed with a gun pointed at his head.
Josh Roseberry was traveling east on 62 toward Cynthiana between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m. About a mile past the Russell Cave Road intersection between Leesburg and Cynthiana, he saw a black car that looked like a Dodge Charger behind him with blue and red lights flashing, according to Harrison County Sheriff's Deputy Dean Hutchison.
Last Thursday and Friday, the Harrison County High School football team met with Bracken County for 7-on-7 and linemen work. '
On Thursday, the Breds traveled to Brooksville and Friday the Polar Bears paid a visit to the Hilltop.
On both occasions, the skill position players went 7-on-7 and the linemen competed in various strength and agility drills.

What came bubbling up in the yards of some Cynthiana residents last week wasn't black gold.
In the midst of the City of Cynthiana's $5 million sewer line improvement project, an area of town not slated for renewal found yards and a creek steeping in raw sewage.
Cynthiana Mayor James Smith said Tuesday that the crews working on the upgrades switched locations to make immediate repairs.
The trouble area is in the back yards of homes located between Pike and Bridge streets, he said.

Isabella Menard is a little girl facing a mountain of disabilities.
However, some of those disorders might be lessened if she can get the love and companionship of a service dog.
"Bella," as she is called by her friends and classmates at Eastside Elementary, suffers from epilepsy, juvenile dementia, seizures, autism and heart disease.
"I have been approved to receive a service dog through 4 Paws for Ability and I am so excited," Bella said in a statement released by her mother, Tanya Menard.

When The Cynthiana Democrat's annual Back-to-School edition comes out July 30, there will be an obvious missing element.
Classroom assignments will not be included due to the recent passing of House Bill 5.
"They mandate it and we have to abide," said Harrison County Superintendent Andy Dotson, noting that HB5/Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is at the crux of the recommendations.

"Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question."This observation came from Alexis de Tocqueville, the French philosopher, during his U.S. travels, early in our history. If we were a legalistic society then, what shall we call ourselves now? Laws have proliferated at an astounding pace, the courts are widely overcrowded with cases, despite the legal short-cuts we've devised. The threat of lawsuits lingers ever-present: we scheme about how to avoid them, and how to bring them.
Besides resolving disputes, we rely on the law to govern ourselves: to create our institutions, regulate our behavior, and make our policy. We believe the law provides fairness, and thus guarantees democracy. Most importantly, we rely on the law to solve our problems. While our confidence in the law, lawmakers, and lawyers ebbs and flows, we nevertheless believe that the law can change our society for the better. These are powerful myths, yet not everyone believes the law serves such benevolent objectives. Grant Gilmore, writing in the Yale Law Journal, argues:
"Law reflects, but in no sense determines, the moral worth of a society.…The better the society, the less law there will be. In Heaven, there will be no law, and the lion will lie down with the lamb.…In Hell, there will be nothing but law, and due process will be meticulously observed."
Others point to the many "unfulfilled promises" of U.S. law. Some view the law as biased, reflecting an ideology that helps the few at the expense of the many. Still others believe that lawyers do more to impede social change than to promote it. However one assesses the law, its extraordinary role in U.S. culture cannot be denied. Thus, the law ought to be studied widely, and not merely by those who want to practice the law.
Toward that end, the Department of Politics offers a Legal Studies minor, open to all USF students. The minor provides students a broad understanding of the U.S. legal system, including the role law plays in U.S. culture: what legal philosophies have we adopted and rejected, what is the law's history, what practical purposes does it serve, how well does it work. We're interested in the relationship between law and politics, and law and society. What can law contribute to improve society? What is justice? Can the law help to achieve it? Does the law help promote social change, or rather impede it? We'll examine both U.S. law and international law, and study the judicial system from the trial courts to the Supreme Court. We'll consider legal disputes over issues such as capital punishment, human rights, pornography, terrorism, corporate crime, affirmative action, privacy, flag burning, defendant's rights, war powers, euthanasia, drug testing, school prayer, gun control, and so forth. Students will see the law in action, not merely in the classroom. Our fieldwork courses place students in law-related internships with organizations such as La Raza Centro Legal, the Legal Aid Society, the Prisoner's Union, the Tenderloin Legal Clinic, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, and the American Civil Liberties Union. Some will use Legal Studies as preparation for law school. Others may find our courses useful for other educational and career pursuits.
Under our 4 + 3 Law Program, USF students (in any major) will have the opportunity to gain automatic admission to USF's School of Law if they have a minimum 3.2 GPA, a minimum 56th percentile LSAT score, and complete either the Legal Studies or Criminal Justice Studies minor.

WASHINGTON, June 5, 2013 President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping will discuss cybersecurity and other topics when they meet this week for informal talks at the Sunnylands estate in California, senior administration officials said yesterday.
During a background conference call with reporters, White House officials said the leaders will have a bilateral meeting at the Rancho Mirage estate the afternoon of June 7, followed by a private dinner. The next day, they will have informal meetings in the morning and another bilateral meeting that ends midday.
"This is an important opportunity for President Obama and President Xi to meet early in President Obama's second term and shortly after President Xi took office in China," an official said. "We have a very broad agenda that we will cover with the Chinese that touches upon issues that are directly relevant to the lives and interests of the American people, [including] the ongoing necessity of cybersecurity, which is so important to U.S. businesses and security."
The officials said the meeting this week is important now because the two sides will meet July 8-12 during the regularly scheduled U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue. As part of the dialogue, a high-level U.S.-China working group on cybersecurity, announced April 13 in Beijing by Secretary of State John F. Kerry, will meet for the first time.
"This is an issue that we've paid increased attention to over the … last several years, as we saw an increased number of cyber threats from a range of actors, and as we saw the need to strengthen our own defenses," an official said. "That's why the president announced an executive order in the State of the Union [address] that allows for better information-sharing and cybersecurity practices, both by the government and the private sector," the official added. "That's why we're working to achieve cybersecurity legislation with Congress that will better enable us to set high standards for cybersecurity."
The officials said direct and candid discussions about cybersecurity with other countries, especially China, are important.
"We have raised this issue publicly and privately as it relates to cyber intrusions on, for instance, U.S. businesses, and the need to protect both intellectual property and the U.S. economy from cyber threats," one official said. "And to advance that agenda, the two presidents will address the issue of cybersecurity." Obama and Xi also will discuss the agenda for the U.S.-China cybersecurity working group when it meets in July, he added.
The officials said they expect cyber to become a standing issue in the U.S.-China relationship, given the importance of cybersecurity to the global economy.
"We believe all nations need to abide by international norms and firm, clear rules for the road as it relates to cybersecurity," the official said. "I think the message the president will send is that there's an expectation that all of us are working together to protect the infrastructure of the global economy against cyber intrusion, and that countries need to meet their responsibilities. That will be a focal point not just of these discussions, but importantly, of this working group going forward."
Cyber intrusions also will be discussed, an official said. "As part of our interest in protecting U.S. businesses, we certainly will raise with the Chinese any concerns we have about intrusions that we believe emanate from China," the official added, "and we will make clear that … it's not in anybody's interest for there to be a situation in which businesses don't have the confidence that … their intellectual property can't be compromised and sensitive data can't be compromised."
The use of cyber technology is one of the issues that threatens to damage U.S.-Chinese relations, the international economy and China's reputation, an official said, "particularly as a means of obtaining intellectual property from American companies and institutions."
The thing to look for during the informal talks this week, an official added, is recognition on China's part of the urgency and the scope of the problem and the risk it entails to U.S. and Chinese interests.
"The U.S. relationship with China is so broad, it encompasses so many issues, that we need to have the ability to work well in some areas even when we're in competition or have strong differences in other areas," the official said.

Hey, your neighbors.... Technically, the freeze warning is in effect tonight through Tuesday morning, when the temperature will be a little colder, but the general point remains: It's a heckuva lot colder than it was last week!
Good catch, though. I'm adjusting the story.
Good point on the headline and the provisional ballot question, everyone.
Just talked with Mr. Carroll again -- he said he was too upset to take a provisional and he was concerned that the print appeared finer and he didn't have his glasses.
Hey somegirl and massuese (and others) -- Apologies for the loooong delay, but the opinion is now posted in the story as a readable pdf, courtesy of DocumentCloud.
We've just started using the tool and it looks to be a great way to share and read documents, but didnt' get it posted quickly.
Have at it!
Good question, gimpy58 - We were just talking about that in the newsroom.
I probably should have mentioned it in today's weather story, but we're still 1.82" away from the record -- which means it could fall this weekend or early next week, based on the forecast.
Also: The NWS has started a countdown for six of its weather stations, but the only other one within striking distance (seems to me, anyway) is Youngstown, which is about 7" away.
Anyway, here's the link to their countdown page http://www.erh.noaa.gov/cle/wx_events/2011/Precip/precip_countdown.php
@SL -- Good catch. Bess said that.
Got it fixed quickly. Thanks.
Sensational? Not my intention, CO2isLIFE.
Just trying to have a little fun with a mundane topic (and I haven't heard a single boom of thunder yet!), while trying to point out the safety points from the NWS.
Have a great day.
Reminder: I'll be moderating an internet chat on this topic at 3 p.m. today (Friday). Go to Cleveland.com/science and click on the Cover It Live section.
@marcia1983 -- You're absolutely right. I'm on vacation this week, but picked up my Sunday Paper and saw that right away. Ugh. Can't even understand how that could happen. Anyway, it's fixed online....now I just have to go house-to-house to correct 300,000 newspapers!
Thanks for the heads-up
Correct, birdman. I think we're back on track. Thanks.
Good call readers. Headline and story are fixed. A night of staring at election results in seven counties must have left our eyes blurry for a moment. Parma voters were the only ones in Cuyahoga to approve a school levy.
Good point, HP - We should have had that choice in the poll -- especially since that's what our voter turnout story was all about!
I don't think we can go back and add a 5th choice now, but we'll get it next time.
Thanks for the clarification, cuttethmeabreak.
Ground-level ozone and smog are often used interchangeably by the EPA -- http://1.usa.gov/iwYa9B --and others, but I should have tossed in an explanatory paragraph as I have with previous stories.
Nice copyediting catch, boneybenny! Don't know what I'd do without ya, but I've got it fixed now.
Have a good weekend.
Thanks for all the insightful -- or at least impassioned -- comments, everyone.
This is one of those stories that's not ending anytime soon, so we'll try to address some of the issues you've raised, including a better look at the economics, a deeper investigation of the "science" of fracking (especially now with horizontal drilling in Utica & Marcellus shale, compared to the longtime practice of brine fracking in 'straight' wells.)
Also, someone (cvr, I think) commented, maybe joking, that we should just drill under Lake Erie because the deposit goes out that far.
It's been considered before (http://cdn.publicinterestnetwork.org/assets/duFrxRycEV3P01gfZq4Zcg/Lake-Erie-Drilling-The-Untold-Story.pdf)
and Canada is doing it now.
A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers report says: Approximately 2,200 vertical gas extraction wells have been drilled in Canada under Lake Erie since 1913. http://www.lrc.usace.army.mil/GrtLakes/OilGas/faq.html
A correction has been made today (March 22, 2011) on the original story. Amazing how one word can make such a significant difference in this business.
The city drawings reveal that the marina is being built for boats 26 feet longer OR MORE. Not Less. My mistake - and a dumb one.
The drawings show 16 slips for 35-foot boats, 30 slips for 40-footers, five for 50-footers and the final two at the end of the docks with no specified limit.
My apologies. We'll be running a print correction as well.

As part of a special edition series for the upcoming ALA conference in NOLA, Librarian Wardrobe is going to give you some packing and outfit-making insight. A few others are going to be contributing to LW as we try to make it a more comprehensive resource, and I'll be introducing them later this week. We also will have some posts from other librarians on what they're packing. We invite you to use the "ask" feature on the Tumblr to send us questions you might have.
So, to kick things off, I'll introduce myself and give you an idea of how I might be packing for ALA this year.
There is too much data in this post, so I'm going to have to split it up (it wouldn't even fit on Tumblr!). Parts 1 and 2 are about putting some outfits together and Part 3 is packing. Since I've had to be creative in getting the formatting to look nice, the links don't work next to the images, so I will post all the links at the end of Part 3.
I'm Nicole and am the creator of Librarian Wardrobe... hi! I'm a community college librarian in Texas. You can connect with me on Twitter. Not really sure how to explain my style, but it's a mix of vintage items, bike-friendly clothing, and am very pro-layers. I'm also vegan, so that influences what I wear. For example, I'd never buy leather new, but if I see a pair of second-hand oxfords or boots, I might pick those up.
Anyhow, on to choosing outfits for ALA! I am a very light packer... I don't check luggage and always find a way to just do one bigger carry on bag and a medium-sized personal bag. This can be accomplished with layers/mixing and matching. I'll show you some outfits I'd bring that have pieces to be swapped in and out:
And now on to Part 2 (continuing with choosing outfits)....

Pick a Number
On Sunday, President Obama awarded David Letterman, along with several other artists, among them Dustin Hoffman, the Kennedy Center Honors for influencing American culture through the arts.
In his nearly two decades as the host of the CBS "Late Night" show, Mr. Letterman has made his nightly reading of his "Top Ten" list a social ritual of American culture. While he uses his list for comic effect, you can use the same approach to create a structure for your presentations.
Authors Stephen R. Covey and Deepak Chopra used the numbering technique for the structure of their respective bestsellers, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. The popular Politico website regularly calls out the Top Five takeaways from the political events that they cover; how-to newspaper and magazine articles add sidebar boxes that summarize their main tips with a total number; and the help desk web page of product and service companies summarize their customer FAQs with a total number.
In the fast and furious business world where presentations are often hastily cobbled together with a disparate collection of begged, borrowed, or stolen slides and delivered by a presenter who is the only one in the room who can understand what on Earth one slide has to do with another, the numbering technique can be emergency CPR. Simply organizing the different elements into a clear order makes it easy for both the presenter and the audience to follow.
Eric Benhamou, the former Chairman of 3Com Corporation (acquired by HP in 2010), did so under rather trying circumstances.
Mr. Benhamou was invited to deliver a keynote speech at a dinner given by the California-Israel Chamber of Commerce, an organization as diverse as the more than 7000 miles that separate those two centers of business. The event, which was held on a mid-week night at Silicon Valley's large San Jose Fairmount Hotel, began with a cocktail hour that ran for far more than an hour. When the ballroom doors finally opened, the several hundred guests rushed in to find seats at tables they had to share with strangers. After the usual rubber chicken meal, the Masters of Ceremonies presented awards to individuals who were familiar only to Californians, and some who were familiar only to Israelis. Each of the recipients then proceeded to give an acceptance speech that made Academy Award acceptance speeches seem abrupt by comparison. When Mr. Benhamou's turn came, it was nearly nine o'clock.
How would you like to have to deliver a speech in those circumstances?
But Mr. Benhamou rose to the occasion. At the very outset, he announced that he would be sharing the top ten experiences of a recent trip he made to Israel. Each of the experiences was unrelated to the next—one historic, one cultural, one economic, one technological, one a human interest story—but he counted down as he went from anecdote to anecdote. Mr. Benhamou is a gifted presenter, and he held his audience's attention throughout. When he got to his ninth andecdote, the audience began reaching for their valet parking stubs and, as soon as he finished the tenth, they bolted for the doors.
Structure your presentation by organizing your diverse themes into a group of ten or seven or three—many people subscribe to what is commonly known as the "rule of threes." Give your audiences order rather than chaos—or they will start reaching for their valet parking stubs a lot sooner than Mr. Benhamou's did.
This blog post is an excerpt from my new book, just published by Pearson, Winning Strategies for Power Presentations; it is one of 75 lessons from the world's best presenters, and available now from Amazon.

Vent? IT WAS ALL THESE MORONS WAITING AT 4 am for the servers to come online, then hit it all at once that f d it all up!!! Cumon people. I was one of the ppp waiting at 4am est, but how can u blame apple and att for us hitting their servers like they had the cure for aids. I dont care who was selling what, but u have x amount of users sitting with their fingers on the trigger, ANYONES NETWORK WILL COME CRASHING DOWN. att did drop it with the account security but apple was just tryn to make money. Lets all hit the white house web sit and watch it crumble. At least i got my phone. Deliverd to house. As for the whole white phone thing, i was dying to get a white. But oh well. Its apples phone, they can sell em however they want. Lol. If i were them id do the same thing, its hilarious watching ppl squirm and knowing they are still gonna buy it. They could push the launch back, and u know ur still gettn one. This whole thing amuses me. :)
Just noticed at the bottom of my emailed confirmation of reservation of a new iPhone 4, "Pre-authorization does not guarantee iPhone availability at an Apple Retail Store. iPhone is sold on a first-come, first-served basis." Now that could get really interesting, especially if someone hopes to stop by the Store after work on June 24th and finds the supply is gone!
I arrived at the Apple Store near me a little before it opened and within 30 minutes I had a black, 16gig Iphone reserved. I wanted a white Iphone, but I've waited so long that I'll be happy with a black one.
When I got home I had already received my email confirmation. Sorry for those who had trouble, but my experience was great!
@Eric - Any Apple store that is located inside a mall the earliest you can start lining up is 5am... If your store is located in an outdoor shopping center you might get luckier to be able to start a line when ever, but you might want to check with that shopping center to see what their policies are. I know where I live the shopping center probably has some rule about being in the center after hours of business seeing how its in a rich part of town.
Ben...it just so happens to be at a mall and a fairly upscale one so I might just try to roll out around 5 unless I see a line by the 10pm news then I will just go in at 8 and tough it out since I see from the entries here that I will get one no matter what. I will just make sure I lots of movies and music to keep occupied...LOL
No kidding, my phone is loaded with stuff to take care of my boredom. I am ready for this to be all over of course, but the thing that people have yet to start talking about is the 21st. It will take all day for people to download and just as long to activate it again. I remember when 2.0 came out, it took me all day to activate my phone with everyone else trying to do the same. Monday will be crazy none the less.
ill be there for sure!!!
@Jeff - Are you on a single account or a family plan. Remember that the contract is for two years and AT&T only changed those that could upgrade within this year to now. If you signed a two year contract than next year is when you can upgrade. If your the main number on a family plan and upgraded last year than you should be able to this year. The main number can upgrade every year.
I tried about 20 times throughout the day to pre-order for store pickup, and never got through. I had class at night, and when I got home at about 10pm they were all sold out for June 24. My question is if I go to the fifth avenue NYC apple store EARLY, like 3am to wait in line, will they have stock available for first-come first served? It seems like that's what they said, but I can't tell if I'll have to wait until the end of the day instead for first come first served. Usually the 5th ave apple store has the most extra stock of any apple store, but who knows with iPhone 4. Any thoughts?
@Tim - From what I just heard from a manager of an Apple store in a major city, all reservations will be filled and some extra... He did say that reservations are the first they fill and afterwards they will work on first come first serve.
AT&T stores and Best Buy stores will fill all preorders as long as they have stock. I am sure that Apple is only sending out so much to other stores and keeping most for their stores and online orders.
Ok, more information about how the stores will run on Thursday morning. Two lines, one for reservations and one for walk-ins. Both lines get serviced as all stores will have reserve set aside for walk-ins. They will continues to sell all day until all the reserve is sold out and then service the reservations until the close of business.
@Ben - I am on a family plan. Although, usually you can "re-up" after one year to a new two year contract. This essentially tacks another year on to the backend of the contract. For this they give you the mid tier of discount pricing... $399 / $499 instead of the full discounted pricing $199 / $299.
Yes Jeff it does matter, you have a two year contract, and you wife only had a one year contract seeing how it seems shes the main number on the account. Did she as well get the 3GS on release date last year, if so than she can upgrade once every year. If your upgrade date had of been some time towards the end of 2010 than they would have changed.
I got through on AT&T's site at about 8AM EST on the 15th and after placing the order felt good about receiving my new phone on the 24th. The confirmation looks like what follows. My credit card has not yet been charged and the email is not a very comforting one. I really have no idea when I'll receive it!!

How about the reports of AT&T now sending out emails about cancelling orders, hear anything about those?!?!
I'm supremely disappointed in Apple's handling of the launch of iPhone 4, specifically regarding their handling of the white iPhone 4. I bought a white 32GB 3GS last year on launch day. I preordered it thru AT&T. Was an extremely painless process. This year, totally different story. I have no idea when the white one will be available, but that's the one I want. And I'm willing to wait. Still very pssed off. Jobs didn't mention half the phones pictured wouldn't be available at launch. Super disrepectful to customers. Like I said, I'm waiting. But not happy about it. Ridiculous to have the white one pictured alongside the black EVERYWHERE and not mention ANYWHERE about it's availability. Seriously not happy with apple over this. Already emailed Steve Jobs and btched at him about it. He needs to know people are p*ssed.
iPad 2nd Generation??? lol
@Tish - My pleasure. I know that when I was a first time iPhone user that I wanted to know it all at once, but there were a few people out there that took time to help get me in the right direction. I feel it's my time to try to help those as much as possible. This is the only iPhone site I can come to where people are going at it with each other. I am sure one day I will have more questions and I can come here to get the right answers.
I am also keeping my ears inside the management ranks at Apple stores so I can also come back here and give that information to people to help out.
By the way Tish, thank you for saying so....

Christine was escorted by her father. Christine's sister, Katie Horney, was her matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Christine's friend Whitney Finley and sister of the groom, Allison Thurman. The best man was Nick Beckham, and the groomsmen were Craig Boughey and Matt Stine, friends of the groom.
Christine's bouquet featured her great-grandmother's brooch. She wore her mother's ring and carried her grandmother's handkerchief and Joe's grandmother's cross.
The reception was held at the Winchester Opera House and featured family wedding photos dating back to 1918.
Christine graduated from Huntington High in 2004 and Eastern Kentucky University in 2008. The couple met in graduate school at the University of Kentucky, where they both studied Dietetics Administration. Joe graduated from St. Xavier High in 2004 and UK in 2008. They live and work in Lexington.

Top 3 Pet Peeves of an Indie Barista
|Photo by Nick Phillips
|Condescend to me and so help me god I will hit you with this...thing.
Gut Check Code Name: Lil' Spitfire
Position: Barista, independent coffee shop
Pet Peeve #1
LS: Being talked down to. You can hear it in their voice, how they ask for things, like condiments or refills. It's irritating. But I get over it. They probably talk to everyone like that.
Pet Peeve #2
LS: We quit serving breakfast at [a certain hour]. It's the people who go, "Awwwwww, can't you just make me something?" No! [slaps counter]. Wake up earlier!
Pet Peeve #3
LS: People who act like there's no line.
Gut Check: You mean they butt in front of other people in line?
LS: No, they come over here to the side of the counter and pretend like there's no line and quietly try to place their order.
Gut Check: How do you deal with that?
LS: Some of [my colleagues], they say, "In a minute." But I'm kind of allowing of it.

The UTSaver Deferred Compensation Plan is a 457(b) voluntary retirement program that allows you to save additional income for retirement through pre-tax contributions that will reduce your taxable income. As investments grow, the earnings are tax-deferred until funds are withdrawn. The program does not include an employer contribution. Contributions are made through payroll deduction and may be invested in fixed or variable annuities or mutual funds with the approved providers.
Beginning January 1, 2008, upon separation you can defer all or a portion of your unused annual-leave payment to your DCP account, not to exceed your maximum contribution limit. You must submit the Purchase Agreement for Annual Leave Deferral [PDF] to the HRSC no later than your last day of employment to take advantage of this opportunity.
Learn more about turning your annual leave payout into retirement savings.
All employees are eligible to participate.
You can get started for as little as $20 per month or contribute as much as 100% of your eligible compensation, not to exceed your maximum contribution limit per calendar year.
|Regular Contribution Limit
|Age 50+ Catch-up*
|Special Catch-up**
*You must be 50 years old or older during the calendar year of your participation.
**You must be within three years of normal retirement age and must have unused elective deferrals for the previous years in which you were eligible to participate in a 457(b) plan. Contact HRSC for this calculation. This catch-up may not be used during the calendar year in which you retire
The Age 50 Catch-up and the Special Catch-up may not be used simultaneously during any calendar year.
You can participate in both UTSaver plans simultaneously. The contribution limits for each UTSaver program are separate.

Okay, folks, let's take it Around the Horn. And remember our motto, "If it's not snappy, it's crappy!"
* Thank you, Howard Megdal, for this piece of ballsy brilliance. Over at Howard's The LoHud Mets Blog, he came up with a great idea for a writing prompt based on this incident, shown below:
Writes Howard:
I have a copy of Knuckleball! to give away, and it goes to whoever comes up with the best Jordany Valdespin Fan Fiction. I'll publish it on the site, so it needs to be vaguely newspaper appropriate. But I'm leaving this open-ended, because, well, I think Valdespin is open-ended as it gets. Please send submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com. Pasted into email, no attachments, please. Deadline for submissions is next Wednesday, March 20, 11:59 PM EST.
It got me thinking about those classic Reader's Digest health pieces that used to run years ago, "I am Joe's . . . " Each article would feature the inner-workings of a different body part, the pancreas, the liver, tongue, and so on. All the articles were eventually compiled in a paperback, I Am Joe's Body.
I won't be entering, but feel free to send Mr. Megdal a missive titled, "I Am Jordany's Busted Nutsack."
* Speaking of Zany Jordany, here's a good piece about the Mets' colorful prospect, written by Jared Diamond in The Wall Street Journal.
Welcome to the bizarre and magical world of Jordany Valdespin, where baseballs fly over fences, Salsa music plays on an endless loop—and common sense sometimes gives way to exuberance and good times. With Valdespin continuing to build a case for a spot on the major-league roster, the Mets now face the challenge of toning down his antics—without stifling his ability to perform.
As a fan, it's hard to assess these reports from a distance. But I have to wonder how much of the personality issues are a result of a cultural divide in the Mets clubhouse. They are "Los Mets" no longer.
* Sticking with today's zany theme, the Seattle Mariners are thinking about batting Jason Bay in the leadoff position. The reasoning is that since he's not a middle of the order guy anymore, maybe he'll walk. I loved the first fan comment below the article: "Somehow, I'm not feeling this."
* Bryan Zarpentine at Rant Sports makes the argument that Matt Harvey needs to learn how to pitch to contact and strike out fewer batters. In the name of efficiency and working deeper into games. Well, folks, let me go on record to say: I HATE THIS IDEA. I hate it with every fiber of my being. With my pancreas. With my liver. With my busted . . . Sigh. It comes up every year about some pitcher, somewhere, and I always hate it. I'm sorry, but I'll take that one true outcome any day of the week. Can you imagine somebody trying to get into Seaver's ear in early 1968, "Listen, Tom. Strikeouts are not very efficient . . ."
* Chris McShane at Amazin' Avenue asks the question on everyone's tongue: "Should the Mets Pick Up Brennan Boesch?" He concludes:
That said, the Mets wouldn't be risking much by signing him to a minor league deal. If there's one upside to Boesch, it's that he has actually been better against left-handed pitching than right-handed pitching — the Justin Turner split, if you will — and wouldn't be much of a liability in typical platoon situations. He's not an everyday big leaguer at this point, but the Mets aren't exactly loaded with those in the outfield right now and may as well roll the dice on another player.
Personally, yawn, why bother? The Mets don't need more deeply-flawed outfielders who can't field. It's like replacing Lucas Duda with . . . Lucas Duda. I mean, flip a coin.
* Finally, in yet another fine piece of blogging from the team at Mack's Mets, Soto brings the facts and takes a look at the challenges the Mets face as they add to, and discard from, their 40 Man Roster. Worth a ponder, methinks. In the comments section, Mack Ade raises the provocative notion: Would you be willing to feature Bobby Parnell in a trade for a promising outfield prospect?

Ellen Begs Her Way Onto O Cover
Over the last month, DeGeneres has pulled out all the stops to get herself on the cover of O. She documented on her daytime talk show how she called to Harpo Studios -- which run the Oprah empire -- which didn't go over so well. She was put on hold for 11 minutes and never got connected to the proper person.
Ellen also created mock covers of O magazine with Ellen photoshopped in.
Winfrey eventually noticed, and obliged Ellen's desire. The two will share separate December covers of O magazine, which Oprah announced during a live chat on 'Ellen.' "I was so upset that you were put on hold for 11 minutes, I still haven't gotten over that ... When I first heard about this ... I thought it was such a fantastic idea. I was only sorry that I did not think of it myself, so I'm calling to officially invite you on the cover of O," Oprah said to much applause.
In a statement on her Web site, Winfrey said that "Ellen DeGeneres is a woman who can make things happen. When she decided she wanted to be on the cover of O, she pulled out all the stops (just look at her creative concepts here). It worked -- for only the second time in O history, this December, I'm sharing the cover with a woman I adore."
On Monday, Nov. 9, Oprah will interview Ellen about the whole process, and likely a good deal more.

Ellen is certainly a funny comedienne, which helps when there are more difficult worldly issues like war, lost jobs, and a poor economy happening. However, I don't find it that impressive that she (Ellen) made getting on the cover of "O" magazine such a personal and public priority in comparison. It just seems a bit selfish and conceited if you ask me. This stunt of hers is getting way too much coverage if you ask me. Maybe she and Oprah will donate magazine sales to charitable causes, wounded vets, etc., which would be even more impressive instead of lining their own pockets out of ego, when both of those ladies are most likely set for life financially.
- Friday 06 NovemberBy BELLADONNA
Jules, HMMM, I love Ellen, always have. Ellen's job is to make us laugh and forget our daily problems for an hour, not change our economy...that's Obama's job. Let Oprah help with that...
- Friday 06 NovemberBy Sara
It seems to me that Ellen just aims to entertain. If you watch her show, she uses her quirky, live-in-the-moment, lighthearted-with-no-apologies attitude to make people laugh. I doubt this was meant as a serious political stunt to improve her ratings. I just see it just a wacky idea with no particular import, except to seem a little ridiculous and lighten everyone's day.
Way to go, Ellen. It worked on me, and things like this remind me to stop taking everything seriously.
(By the way- she DOES give back to people, and very generously. Do a Google search on the different things she has given away, and you will see what I mean.)
- Friday 06 NovemberBy Angel
Why does everyone talk so much about celebrities giving their money away to other people who didn't earn it?? This is a ridiculous statement. No one comes to your door looking for a hand out if you are the wealthier of the neighborhood. People do NOT have to give their money to other people just because they make loads. If you don't like that celebrities have more money than you do, go out amd make more. No one is stopping you. As far as the O magazine stunt....anyone watching the Ellen show knows she jokes about everything and this was nothing more than fun. Lining your pockets out of ego or out of any other reason is a great idea and of YOU were able to do it just by being funny or talking on a talk show you would. Get over the jealousy people and get a job that puts you in the same financial category.

I'm glad nobody asked you.
- Friday 06 NovemberBy MO
While I find the fact that Oprah sees fit to be on EVERY cover of her magazine extremely egotistical and quite weird in fact I think Ellen is extremely funny and her begging and pleading and making it is great as she is the only other person other than the first lady that Oprah has deemed fit to grace it cover other than herself!! However both ladies spend money on charities and do work for foundations they feel are appropriate,,,,Just because someone is successful does not mean we have to put them down all the time.This is still America!!! And I DO NOT come from money nor will ever have the hope of having any...but just glad to see someone enjoying it!!
- Friday 06 NovemberBy Lindsay
Jules, have you ever done anything just because you wanted to do it? I am sure that not every choice you make is targeted towards making wounded vets better, or giving them money,so why are you downing Ellen? Ellen wasn't handed anything in her career, she worked her way to the top,it took her years & years, so if she wants to be on "O" magazine, she DESERVES it! Why exactly did you feel the need to type something like you did? As if it is Ellen's responsibility to "save" the world, like others posted, it is not her job, her job is to make us laugh & forget about our day to day problems!
- Friday 06 NovemberBy Gee
Yet another loser who turns something that has nothing to do with politics into just that. They dont have to share their money with anyone!
- Friday 06 NovemberBy Doc
Snarky, snippy, incorrect article.
- Saturday 07 NovemberBy periz
have you ever watched ellen? she gives away a ton of stuff to deserving people. and even if she didnt, its HER money so it doesnt matter what she does with it. and horay for ellen on getting on the cover of 'O' i wish opera would share the cover with more people, she has got to run out of posses eventually...
- Saturday 07 NovemberBy carl
this is capitalism, profit boy. Not giving away crap, to the victor goes the spoiles not hand out begging that socialist. the gop has gone from praise the military to hand them your money no no no no no
- Saturday 07 NovemberBy Trizone
What I'm most shocked about is that Oprah allowed her to be on the cover! The ever self-absorbed Oprah allowed Ellen to be on the cover, and yes, it will bring more and more revenue to their already filled to capacity pockets.
- Sunday 08 NovemberBy debbie
Both of these ladies donate to alot of causes, I think you need to read some info on them before you judge
- Friday 06 NovemberBy nvraine
Ellen is a real person. For the life of me, I cannot understand why she wanted to be on the cover of O Mag.
- Friday 06 NovemberBy Marie
Why did she want to be on the cover of O because she wanted to kiss Oprah's butt.
- Friday 06 NovemberBy bandit
I can't understand why anyone cares to watch either one. Oprah has been on the Air way to long.
Ellen cries on TV because Ca. voted NO on Gay marrage, why ? because its wrong, God says its wrong. If you can't make babies because you both have the same body parts their is a reason. God did not intend it the way...... furthermore for the state have allowed it show they too are now getting Divorce.
- Friday 06 NovemberBy Kirk
Is this the new "OE"? The original will be hard to beat.
Both women are pretty incredible in their own right.
- Friday 06 NovemberBy Chris
Why is it so hard for Oprah to share her magazine cover with someone else? To me, this makes her come across as a very egotistical person.
- Friday 06 NovemberBy dagrrl
I didn't even know Oprah was the only one on the magazine's cover. But, when I saw the headline for this and read the article that was my exact sentiment.

The modern skeptic needs to be well armed to deal with the array of woo being spewed these days. Biblical criticism is pretty much a solved game but the new-agers can toss out faux-facts faster than you can say, "Bullshit!"
One flavour making the rounds here recently has been the junk science of Terrence McKenna. An incredibly articulate ethnobotanist of the late 20th century, he was able to public several books that garnered the attention of aging hippies and which seem to have renewed their popularity with contemporary new agers. As a self-described psychonaut, his writing mostly revolved around his ever more desperate attempts to instill perceived empirical value to the observations he made of his own consciousness while higher than a kite.
His timewave zero and novelty theories tied into eschatological prognostications for 2012 – a prophecy failure that his devotees overlook as quickly as the adherents of Benny Hinn overlook his. Perhaps the most entertaining of his drug-addled ramblings was his 'Stoned Ape' conjecture.
In his Stoned Ape conjecture, McKenna tried to convince himself that use of magic mushrooms was the catalyst that sprung homo-sapiens into existence from homo-erectus. He starts by assuming that the magnificent shrooms appeared on the African savanna 100,000 years ago and made their way into the homo-erectus diet – both assumptions being supported by zero evidence. He then misrepresents a scientific study about visual perception to suggest that use of these mushrooms increased visual acuity in our early ancestors – thereby making them better hunters.
Based on his first two unfounded assumptions and an outright fabrication he then jumps to the conclusion that the results performed a miraculous one-time instance of Lamarckian inheritance, altering the offspring of psilocybin-gobbling hominids enough to speciate them from surrounding populations of homo-erectus. It just goes on and on, and he actually managed get published for it in 1992 - Food of the Gods.
I feel this load of malarkey is worth our attention, as skeptics, so we can be better prepared to counter the ridiculous claims of McKennites that we may encounter. I know there is one with us lately and felt he might like to put his thoughts on display here for all of us to observe the workings of such a mind.

Mushrooms aren't plants, and spores can actually survive very cold temperatures, temperatures you'd find in space, in fact. The organic casing of a spore approaches that of a metal, and the violet exterior can withstand high amounts of radiation, and so forth. Why isn't it plausible to think that spores can drift through a kind of Brownian motion like cosmic dandruff?
Mushrooms are, however, eukaryotes and as such share some basic genetic similarities with every other eukaryote on the planet. The evidence that they evolved here, with us, from a common ancestor is overwhelming to everyone except theists. Don't be fucking ridiculous.
What she said.
Don't be fucking ridiculous.
Come on, Heather. Jimmy operates at the frontier of science. You don't have to bother with pesky details like burden of proof, supporting evidence, testability, falsifiability, or even providing a clear explanation of what you're talking about.
The Space Alien Mushroom hypothesis is subjective. I'm sure Jimmy would explain further, but anyone who has never squatted in a submarine at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific ocean while having a hazelnut coffee enema could never understand it anyway. Or whatever.
Yes, and the implication being that this common ancestor may have been an extraterrestrial common ancestor, but you've obviously overlooked this possibility.
LOL! At the last two posts.
Another caveat would be the fact that these things contain psilocybin, a substance that occurs nowhere else in nature but in these mushrooms.
Another caveat would be the fact that these things contain psilocybin, a substance that occurs nowhere else in nature but in these mushrooms.
And let's not ignore that seawater occurs nowhere else in nature but in the sea. Gigantic space alien tanker ships must have made it and transported it here. Sure, there's no proof and no way to test this hypothesis. But fuck it. It's plausible.
Besides, if you've never licked the underside of a movie theatre seat after a showing of "High Noon' on a Tuesday afternoon in the Bronx, you'd never grasp the concept anyway. Or whatchamacallit.
Well, I'm glad you mentioned that, it's also been speculated that water itself may have also derived from asteroidal impacts.
There is a serious scientific hypothesis that bacterial spores left over from the previous solar system survived to drift onto our planet 3.5 billion years ago. This is because of the apparent suddenness with which bacteria appeared. It doesn't sound so far-fetched to me, considering we've had prions and mad-cow disease in the past 20 years. Prions can survive being autoclaved, and come back to give you mad-cow disease.
Unseen is right when he points out that M-theory is controversial among scientists and it's for exactly the same reason: it cannot be tested. So you'll find a sizable crop of scientists that don't consider it to be science, either. The controversial aspect is that different models of M-theory actually can be tested, but only by using mathematical equations.
Basically, while there are such things as proofs in math, they just prove the math and have no implication for science without some actual measurements or quantities to use in place of the terms of the formula.
How about this then....
You state the key points of 'Stoned Ape' as you understand it so we can analyze it, ok?
