finished this a while ago but it think its my favourite scarf ive knitted - despite not loving orange!
i remember having a hand me down jumper that looks similar.
now im working on a green moss stitch scarf that is taking foreveeeer due to 5mm needles.
What is the stich in the scarf - its very nice I would like to make one myself?
its just moss stitch and two rows of each colour apart from the ends obviously.
I like the colour of your scarf. It looks very refreshing. I would also like to see the one you call pistachio. I know I am affected by "happy colours". You mentioned the price of yarn. There are bargains out there and often you can find something good and reasonably priced on sale. I know for example elann always has something on sale.
the camera isnt very good with colours so thats not really the right colour.
i managed to find some 'forest green' acrylic 100gm for AU$4 a ball today so im happy. it doesnt feel like plastic is its nice.

M.A.M.C. : Institutional Profile
MAMC Website
Maulana Azad Medical College
Maulana Azad Medical college and associated hospital complex consist
of four integral units, namely, Maulana Azad Medical college, Lok Nayak Hospital, Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital and Guru Nanak
Eye Centre. The college was established 22 years after the commissioning of the Irwin hospital, a well established general
hospital drawing patients mainly from Delhi and from neighbouring states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh
and Rajasthan. This idealy situated general hospital, with long years of reputation paved the way for realization of this
medical college. The college made its humble beginning in hospital block of Irwin (Lok Nayak) hospital in 1958. In 1964, Govind
Ballab Pant Hospital was added to the complex to provide training facilities and superspecialities. The Guru Nank Eye Centre
came into existence on 20th December, 1977 with the commissioning of a separate out patient department for ophthamic diseases.
The wards for the indoor patients were added in 1986. The long awaited demand of the residents of Union Territory of Delhi
for a Dental wing was met with the establishment of separate Dental Wing in 1983. Plan for a fullfledged Dental College has
materialized with the formation of the Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences. The Medical College is named after
a great patriot and educationist, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. The foundation of main building of the college was laid by Pandit
Govind Ballabh Pant, the then Home Minister of India, on 2411 October,1 959. This building was declared open by the first
Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru on 261" February, 1961. The steady growth of MAMC is the outcome of
sound traditions, established by the leadership in the formative years, reinforced with a relentless and continuing struggle
by the dedicated faculty and the disciplined students. The primary aim of this institution is to produce competent basic doctors,
specialists and superspecialists. It has encleavoured to promote all facilities conducive to learning and furtherance of knowledge
by: ·Contribution towards national health care delivery system providing efficient and expert medical services through
the associated hospitals. ·Establishing routine and specialized laboratories of excellence and other investigative facilities.
·Pursuance of objectives of medical education by improving course contents, continuing education and strengthening research
activities. ·Extending medical support to the local authorities for health programmes. ·Extending health care facilities
to the 30,000 rural population of Delhi through its organised centres in the community.
Established in 1936 as " IRWIN HOSPITAL" with a bed strength of
320, Lok Nayak Hospital is a premier public hospital under Govt. of N.C.T. of Delhi with a present bed strength of 1400.
During these six decades of its existence this hospital has grown enormously in its size and volume so as to cope with the
growing needs of the ever increasing population of this capital city. The catchment area of this Hospital includes the most
thickly populated old Delhi areas including Jama Masjid and Trans Yamuna Area. However with the opening of G.T.B. Hospital,
the pressure from the population of Trans Yamuna Area has reduced. On the other hand, patients attending this hospital from
the neighbouring states and other part of the city have increased manifolds. This shows the popularity of the hospital in
terms of various services provided by it. The hospital provides the general medical care encompassing ail the departments
like Medicine, Surgery, Gynae, Paediatrics, Burns & Plastic etc. It also provides specialised services like Dialysis,
Lithotripsy, Respiratory care, and others. It also provides tertiary care connected with National Programmes including
family welfare, maternity and child health care. The hospital provides various services for health care of the
public. These are (a) Casualty/Emergency (b) Out patient (c) Indoor care & (d) Investigating and other ancillary services.

Services were provided including 3,85,378 Investigations in pathology lab and over 5,00,000 Investigation in biochemistry
laboratory. Over 2,00,000 Xray were done and around 15,000 Ultrasound and over 4,000 C.T. Scan were undertaken. Over 10,000
Units of blood were issued by the blood bank after screening the units various infections including H.I.V. Major Achievements

functional. ·New Casulaty and Emergency wings have been madefully operational. ·Additional whole body C.T. Scan for
emergency has been made functional. ·New building has been constructed for 160 beds for patients care in various wards.
·Senior citizen's clinic on Sunday has been started.

In our viral day and age, the Internet has become an increasingly important aide on the path to stardom. Every day, thousands upon thousands of wannabes upload their acoustic covers of chart toppers, detailed dance routines and carefully edited comedy spoofs hoping to be lifted out of obscurity and into to mainstream through the powers of the world wide web. Initially, the plan might work out quite well. Your snippet gets emailed, retweeted and posted on millions of facebook walls, and in return your view figures skyrocket. Sadly, for many, that's it – fifteen seconds of online fame, before being dispatched to the barren wasteland that is the home of the YouTube has-beens. Every now and then, however, you do get the occasional success story. The acts that manage to break down the viral wall and take their first cautious steps into the mainstream. Acts like The Midnight Beast.
The trio, consisting of Stefan Abingdon, Dru Wakely and Ashley Horne shot to YouTube fame last year with their parody of Ke$ha's inane, but annoyingly catchy TiK ToK. The video currently boasts over 9 million views, with the numbers still increasing. This was likely helped by Ke$ha herself tweeting its praises (she would later admit that she wished they had directed her video) and it featuring on the front page of the MTV website. Cashing in on the massive Internet exposure, the boys have now set their sights on conquering the real world. They've released their first EP, Booty Call, they're currently hosting a regular segment on Alexa Chung's Gonzo report and over the summer they hit the festival circuit, culminating in a slot at Reading and Leeds. Recently, they also wrapped up their first headlining tour, complete with impressive stage production and even backup dancers, selling out all seven dates.
When I caught up with the boys before their Leeds gig, they definitely seemed most excited about the live performance aspect of their newfound fame. "It's been amazing, to be going to different places that we haven't been before and seeing people singing the words," says lead singer Abingdon. Impressive as it might be to have an hugely popular YouTube video, it's a far cry from being able to fill up a venue like the Leeds Cockpit, a point which has in no way escaped the group. "Obviously on the Internet it's amazing, but at the end of the day it's just numbers and you don't really think that that's gonna translate into real people. We played a gig in Brighton and I think 2000 people just turned up on the beach. To see that after just looking at numbers on your computer screen over the Christmas holidays is mental," he elaborates. "It kind of brought it home and made it a bit more real," adds Wakely.
Despite their ever-growing popularity, they're adamant that they never believed it would go this far. Abingdon does however admit that releasing a parody of such a well-known track definitely helped kick things off. "Dru and I had written Ninjas before we did TiK ToK, but then once we'd done TiK ToK with Ashley it just kinda went through the roof." The attention garnered from the TiK ToK success allowed them to gradually start releasing more and more of their own material, which has arguably become an even bigger hit amongst their by now, relatively sizeable fanbase. "It was just amazing that people got the original stuff as much as they did the other peoples."
Though they've now started to make their name as a comedy act, that wasn't always the plan. Abingdon and Wakely have both been in a number of more serious bands, including Clik Clik, an inide four-piece that generated considerable buzz among music pundits a couple of years ago. Horne on the other hand was pursuing an acting career, landing small parts in Eastenders, Foyle's War and Doctor Who. (Speaking of the latter, I was asked to make a point out of most of his lines being viciously cut out. So, to any Doctor Who editors reading this: for shame!). They stress that it was never a conscious decision on their part to stop doing what they were doing and move on to comedy. "It would be so weird if we though we were funny. All we were doing to each other were private jokes, and the fact that everyone else got it was brilliant!"
Looking at their videos it is indeed clear that it all must've started out as insider jokes between boys, with song topics ranging from dropping your trousers in public, to girls who don't fancy you being lesbians. In print it seems somewhat bizarre and even childish, but there is no doubt their sense of humour has caught on, with their combined YouTube channel views currently at around 25 million. Abingdon explains that a lot of their inspiration comes as a reaction to the pop music of today. "You just think how can it really be possible that that's in the charts? Why is everyone writing about going to clubs when they're clearly not mental?"
"And DJ's! There are so many songs about DJ's!" Horne pipes in.
In the end, the guys believe their popularity stems from not trying to be popular. "A lot of artists write for other people and think about what's gonna sell but we're just writing to make each other laugh."
And their strategy seems to be working. Queuing up outside, I met people who had travelled up from London solely for the show, people decked out in merch from head to toe, chanting "TMB". The boys seem somewhat embarrassed by the newfound and sudden fame. "Recently it's started to go a bit mental," Horne admits. I mention screaming girls, and he apologetically retorts "we're the biggest geeks you'll know!"
In addition to the above, the guys can tell of especially devoted fans bringing gifts to gigs. Abingdon has been given bras (standard rock star), while Wakely is regularly showered with Twixes (watch their tear-jerker "Daddy" to get the reference). Horne on the other hand is getting a brand spanking new pair of shoes. "They're bringing them to me on Monday, so I'm looking forward to that," he says with a grin.
So, with such a loyal fanbase and an already impressive CV, I wonder what the future holds for the Midnight Beast. They seem positive, saying they would love to cross over into other mediums. "We absolutely want to do both TV, music and film, whether it's our own indie way or on a bigger scale."
As they step onto the stage, facing a horde of screaming fans, with another tour already lined up for February, it seems clear that this viral wonder is well on its way to conquering the real world.

Dave Koz on Kardashian wedding: 'It Didn't Feel Right'
CORPUS CHRISTI - Smooth jazz saxophonist Dave Koz became part of reality TV history in August when he performed "Here Comes The Bride" during the wedding of Kim Kardashian and pro basketball player Kris Humphries.
Of course, what may be remembered most about the lavish spectacle is the divorce that came just 72 days later. Looking back now, Koz realizes that he sensed something was amiss during the ceremony and filming.
"Honestly, in retrospect, I've got to admit it didn't feel right," he said.
"I've played a lot of weddings. Of course, this is a television show. But it felt like it was scene from a wedding, like a movie and not an actual wedding, if that makes sense Who knows whether they were in love or not, but it just didn't seem to have authenticity in that moment for me."

DO NOT CALL ME PRINCESS. We can all have different opinions, isn't that the beauty of this forum? Why don' you keep the condecending name calling to yourself.
You're right. You don't need this accident to justify what you're saying because it doesn't justify judging someone you know nothing about...or an accident we clearly know little about.
The driver of the Camry was 71. I would hardly consider that "elderly". How insensitive and judgemental do you have to be that you would insinuate that this is a reason for the "elderly to renew and pass driving tests." Maybe we should just force anyone with grey hair to ride the bus, that way these accidents won't happen.
Well I am writing because my Grandmother was driving the green Toyota and the woman who died is her relative. I am not heartless for asking about what happened because the Republican is telling me more in this article than the police have told us in two days. I know the investigation is on going, but when you have an injured family member and a three car accident, it would be nice to know at least a little, what happened.
I would def say that speed could have been a factor for the Suburban.
Also did they move th vehicles before these pics were taken? Because what is in the story doesn't really match where the vehicles are pictured. These pics look like the Suburban hit the silver Toyota...
I agree. This intersection is absolutely horrendous. I am not surprised something like this happened. It's just awful. This should be a wake up call in regard to the danger involved with this area. Given the info in this article, who would be at fault? This is a tricky situation.

I have started working with Cassandra database. I am planning to use Datastax API to upsert/read into/from cassandra database. I am totally new to this Datastax API (which uses new Binary protocol) and I am not able to find lot of documentations as well which have some proper examples.
When I was working with Cassandra CLI using the Netflix client(Astyanax client), then I created the column family like this-
create column family profile
with key_validation_class = 'UTF8Type'
and comparator = 'UTF8Type'
and default_validation_class = 'UTF8Type'
and column_metadata = [
{column_name : crd, validation_class : 'DateType'}
{column_name : lmd, validation_class : 'DateType'}
{column_name : account, validation_class : 'UTF8Type'}
{column_name : advertising, validation_class : 'UTF8Type'}
{column_name : behavior, validation_class : 'UTF8Type'}
{column_name : info, validation_class : 'UTF8Type'}
Now I was trying to do the same thing using Datastax API. So to start working with Datastax API, do I need to create the column family in some different way as mentioned above? Or the above column familiy will work fine whenever I will try to insert data into Cassandra database using Datastax API.
If the above column family will not work then-
First of all I have created the KEYSPACE like below-
CREATE KEYSPACE USERS WITH strategy_class = 'SimpleStrategy' AND strategy_options:replication_factor = '1';
Now I am confuse how to create the table? I am not sure which is the right way to do that?
Should I create like this?
CREATE TABLE profile (
id varchar,
account varchar,
advertising varchar,
behavior varchar,
info varchar,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
or should I create like this?
CREATE COLUMN FAMILY profile (
id varchar,
account varchar,
advertising varchar,
behavior varchar,
info varchar,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
And also how to add-
crd as DateType
lmd as DateType
in above table or column family while working with Datastax API?
Any help will be appreciated.

Federal and State Educational Loan Repayment Programs
Federal: The National Health Service Corps has a federal loan repayment program for approved sites located in federally designated Health Professional Shortage Area. Once a site is designated as a loan repayment site, clinicians with traditional outstanding education loans who work at an approved site must apply for loan repayment. If funds are available, requests are generally approved.
Website: National Health Service Corps keeps an updated list of eligible sites on their website.
State of Oregon: The state of Oregon has a loan repayment program designed for clinicians interested in working in rural communities with "unmet health needs" as defined by the Oregon Office of Rural health. Loan repayment for qualified educational loans is based on a percentage of an individual's total loans if they agree to work in a designated area.
Contact: Oregon Office of Rural Health at 503.494.4450 or 1.866.674.4376

Video:How to Hang Streamerswith Jacob Taxis
Streamers are a classic party decoration and always help create a fun atmosphere. This About.com video will show you how to hang streamers.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Hang Streamers
Hi, I'm Jacob Taxis for About.com. In this video, you will learn how to hang streamers.
Streamer Materials
To begin, you'll need:
- Party streamers
- Clear tape
- Scissors
Once you've decided on a color scheme and the desired effect of the decorating, start hanging your streamers. While there are no concrete rules for hanging streamers, there are a few tried and true techniques that have satisfied many a streamer enthusiast.
Hang Streamers From Windows and Doorways
First, try hanging streamers from window frames, door ways, and banisters. In warmer months, streamers hanging from the frame of an open window can be a fun, welcoming sight.
You can also hang streamers from the top of a door frame so that they create a fun, flowing room divider. Or, try twirling streamers up and down your staircase banister. Experiment with different color patterns to create your desired effect.
Twisting Streamers
Another great option is the classic twist. To begin, take two different colored streamers and cut them to the same length. Lay the streamers on one another, taping them at both ends so that you have one long streamer. Then, tape one end of the streamer to the ceiling.
Take the other end and twist it a few times until the streamer is spiralled. Finally, tape the other end of the streamer to another area of the ceiling to make an inverted arch. Experiment with various lengths, colors, and patterns across the ceiling.
You might also want to try stretching streamers along the length of cabinets and doors. To prevent broken valuables, avoid connecting streamers to fragile items around the house.
Using the Fold-Over Method
For a little more pizazz, try the fold-over method for hanging streamers. Begin by picking out four differently colored streamers, each the same length. Pair the streamers together two by two. Lay one end of one pair of streamers over the other pair to form a right angle and tape them together.
Begin by folding the bottom pair of streamers over the top pair. Then, fold the top pair over the bottom pair. Continue until you've exhausted the length of the streamers. When complete, release the folds to reveal a beautifully geometric streamer design, perfect for hanging from the ceiling.
Thank you for watching. For more, visit About.com.

A Beginner's Guide to American Beer Styles

Are American beer lovers more than just a bunch of IBU-chasing hopheads? Today's guide looks into a wide range of American beer styles, from adjunct lagers to Imperial porters. More
Two new beers that aren't too boozy, but take no prisoners when it comes to hop attack. More
What's the best hoppy beer on the market today? More
If you like your beers fruity, resiny, piney, and crisply bitter, these hop-driven session beers are the ones to seek out for your summer satisfaction. More
The folks at Dogfish Head are constantly experimenting, but they haven't released a new year-round beer since 2007. This month, Sam Calagione and his team are offering up a new core beer that brings together beer and wine in one 12-ounce bottle. Sixty-One is the brewery's classic 60 Minute IPA with one addition: syrah grape must from California. We gave this wine-beer hybrid a try. More
Sometimes the ideal setting can elevate an excellent drink to perfection; relishing a place can make an enjoyable flavor even more delicious. I was lucky enough to experience this phenomenon in Burlington, Vermont, where I enjoyed one of the best beers of my life. More
By focusing on just two ingredients, you can filter out the other "noise" and learn your Centennials from your Chinooks and your Munich malt from your Vienna. You'll know exactly what each ingredient tastes like, and learning those flavor and aroma characteristics on their own will help you tweak recipes with more components later on. More
The best beers for cheese puffs, barbecue potato chips, Cool Ranch Doritos, and more. More
Smuttynose used their Finest Kind IPA as a starting point for this limited edition beer released in a 750 mL bottle. It's a beer that evolves during each sip from the sweet scent to the round malty core, to full orangey hop fruit flavors, and then a super dry finish. Bring this one along to a barbecue. More
Citrusy, resiny, and bitter, the American Imperial IPA is an aggressive beer—and a rich one. This style grew out of the demand for hoppier beers at the start of the American craft beer revolution. As IPAs were brewed with more and more hops, the amount of grain needed to balance out the bitterness increased. The results were IPAs that were so extreme that they took on the moniker Imperial, which was previously reserved for only the biggest stouts. Here's how to brew one of your own. More
The words on the lower half of this limited-edition bottle from Stone Brewing Co. read "Ruining Palates for Ten Years." And this one is definitely a palate-wrecker. More
With their hopped-up intensity they easily overwhelm most foods and seem harsh and astringent with many dishes that can stand up to them. For my palate they're a bit too bitter and boozy for sweet dishes and add too much fuel to the fire for spicy. But that doesn't mean you should take double IPA out of your pairing toolbox altogether. More
We've got nothing against regular Newcastle. Smooth and creamy, with a nice toffee flavor and just a light bitterness, we're happy to drink it while watching football and eating chili. So our interest was piqued when we heard that Newcastle's releasing a new limited-edition beer. But a "Winter IPA"? What does that even mean, and can the Newcastle/Heineken folks pull it off? More
Almost every time I decide to try another Black IPA, I end up wanting to brush my tongue. The two-pronged aggressive bitterness of hops and roast often clashes like a couple of guitarists trying to play over one another. New Glarus Brewing Co.'s Black Top Black IPA, which won gold at GABF this year, takes a more measured approach. More
The San Diego stalwarts have always seemed to be more comfortable leaning on the big, bold, and sometimes brash side of the craft beer spectrum. Their latest creation, Stone 15th Anniversary Escondidian Imperial Black IPA, is no exception. If this isn't your last beer of the evening, it'll most certainly be the last one you taste. More
The novelty of black IPAs to the beer scene is highlighted by a total lack of agreement about what to call them—you may see them described as Cascadian Dark Ales or American Black Ales, and the American Brewer's Association pithily calls them, American-Style India Black Ales. (ASIBAs? Yeah, that'll stick...) Personally, I hope that Black IPAs are here to stay. We tasted a dozen of them, all solid beers, and very diverse. We've divided them up into two categories—heavier and intense, or lighter and more quaffable. More
For years I have recommended homebrew ingredient kits to people as great way to homebrew. I'm not talking about a Mr. Beer kit or a homebrew-in-a-box, which can be prone to sitting on the shelf for too long, but a recipe that comes prepackaged by your local or online homebrew shop. A homebrew kit not only saves you the time it takes to research and put together a recipe, but also puts all the ingredients together for you in one simple package. More
When Deschutes brewmaster Larry Sidor and Boulevard brewmaster Steven Pauwels decided to collaborate, they harnessed their breweries' respective strengths and created two beers from the same recipe. Combining Deschutes' deft hand on the hoppy side and Boulevard's talent with all things wheat, the collaboration colors outside the style lines. It's one part Belgian Witbier, one part American IPA, a fistful of white sage, a bit of lemongrass, and voilà! White IPA. But despite starting on the same page, the two beers are quite different. More
This week we continue our hoppy tour of the US, visiting the states south of Virginia and east of the Mississippi. The South isn't particularly known for India Pale Ale, but we found a number of breweries making tasty examples of the style. Have you tried these beers? Which southern-brewed IPA is your favorite? More
For homebrewers, the American IPA is the perfect style for exploring the flavors of different varieties of hops. Ever wondered what new hops like Citra or Nelson Sauvin taste like? Or what flavors would come through when combining Sorachi Ace and Simcoe hops? Making an IPA that showcases just one or two varieties of hops will really give you a feel for their different nuances.

We have to get back to basics in education, like ensuring that our children are developing the reading and writing and math skills they need to effectively compete in a very tough and increasingly global job market.
I support Congressional efforts to rebuild America's crumbling schools and have advocated legislation that would address the backlog of deferred maintenance and repair in our elementary and secondary schools and help to modernize classrooms with new science and computer labs and upgraded technology infrastructure.
Likewise, I am taking a lead role in advocating legislation that would promote literacy and help reduce high school dropout rates. I am a cosponsor of the LEARN Act, a bill to prioritize and align reading and writing disciplines across grade levels, starting with early childhood and extending through elementary and adolescent education. The LEARN Act would provide funds to states to develop literacy programs and to help teachers improve reading and writing lessons and effectively implement literacy intervention strategies.
I am fighting hard for our schools, teachers, and children – and, it is a quite a fight in this Congress – with some determined to roll back investments that will undoubtedly leave our children at a disadvantage when it comes to finding a well-paying job.
Most recently, the House of Representatives passed legislation, which I opposed, that would lock in $1.3 billion in education budget cuts, slashing funding for afterschool and literacy programs, as well as other programs aimed at improving early childhood education and safe- and drug-free schools, and reducing high school dropout rates and modernizing schools.
That flawed measure, H.R. 5, which would rewrite the lapsed No Child Left Behind law, would turn away from teacher development and eliminate funding that helps teachers improve their classroom performance. It would strip away and weaken Federal academic performance standards and accountability systems. It would leave states with budgetary challenges to bear more of the burden of closing achievement gaps and improving struggling schools, and it would undermine efforts to ensure students are prepared for college and careers after high school. It also would repeal critical safeguards to ensure accountability for how Federal taxpayer dollars are being spent.
I support efforts to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and to reform the burdensome and unworkable requirements of the No Child Left Behind law. But, we also must find ways to make new and better investments in education, and especially programs that promote careers in the sciences, math, engineering, and technology, which will diversify our economy and bring new jobs to our region.
As the son of hardworking parents, who always stressed the importance of getting a good education, I learned early on that there is no substitute for learning, and the powerful value knowledge affords. A quality education will enrich our children's lives and open doors to opportunities that ensure a higher standard of living and quality of life.
We must be diligent in our pursuit to encourage learning, improve graduation rates, and ensure that our children have the 21st century skills to compete in the ever-growing global economy.
When it comes to investing in the education of future American generations, I believe it is a sacrifice worthy of our best efforts.

As Occupy Wall Street protesters attempt to reclaim Zuccotti Park after it was cleared out by police yesterday, the radical magazine that first inspired the movement is recommending a way for Occupiers to save face while retreating (via Verum Serum):
STRATEGY #2: We declare "victory" and throw a party … a festival … a potlatch … a jubilee … a grand gesture to celebrate, commemorate, rejoice in how far we've come, the comrades we've made, the glorious days ahead. Imagine, on a Saturday yet to be announced, perhaps our movement's three month anniversary on December 17, in every #OCCUPY in the world, we reclaim the streets for a weekend of triumphant hilarity and joyous revelry. …
Then we clean up, scale back and most of us go indoors while the die-hards hold the camps. We use the winter to brainstorm, network, build momentum so that we may emerge rejuvenated with fresh tactics, philosophies, and a myriad projects ready to rumble next spring.
Adbusters also outlines a strategy for staying put, but seems to acknowledge the risk of keeping the movement going through the winter. "[A]s winter approaches an ominous mood could set in … hope thwarted is in danger of turning sour, patience exhausted becoming anger, militant nonviolence losing its allure," it argues. "It isn't just the mainstream media that says things could get ugly."
It's a little late to start warning about an ominous mood setting in. The rampant crime at Zuccotti Park and other protests has already been well-documented, and protesters seem to have no interest in retreating.
Adbusters seems to realize it's created a monster, and is trying to cautiously rein it in before it completely destroys its own image. The OWS movement was supposed to evolve into a populist grassroots political coalition, a la the Tea Party. Instead, it's rapidly discrediting itself.

Posted: February 15, 2013
Source: Teamster Nation
A tea party stooge planned to deliver a Hitler Valentine to Arizona Republicans who support workers. At the last minute he backed off.
The Arizona Capitol Times reported yesterday,
This morning, Stephen Viramontes, the state director of FreedomWorks in Arizona in 2012, wrote on his Twitter page that he would "be down at the Capitol shortly to give a few legislators some (Valentine's Day) cards." The post included a photo of a card that featured a drawing of Hitler along with the words "Be Mein."
He later posted that Hitler was one of six different dictators featured on a set of cards he planned to distribute to "all those (lawmakers) needing some help in supporting and passing #PaycheckProtection."
(Paycheck deception laws are aimed at weakening workers' rights by making it hard for unions to collect dues.)
Umm, let's get this straight. Stephen Viramontes belongs to a front group that gets secret funding from billionaires. It's an offshoot of a
Benedict Arnold Koch brothers front group. The group is part of a vast, shadowy billionaire-and-CEO conspiracy that bullies state lawmakers. Their goal is to pass bills that empower corporations, destroy workers' rights, privatize government services, subvert democracy and raise taxes on everyone but the wealthy.
And Viramontes has greeting cards designed that compare democratically elected unions to a dictator? A dictator who abolished trade unions in May 1933?
Let's get the record straight, because billionaires' lackeys like Viramontes will try to confuse it: Hitler needed to appease and confuse the masses. He eliminated trade unions, jailed their leaders and seized their assets. He then formed the German Labor Front and called it a union. It wasn't a union. It lowered wages, eliminated collective bargaining and abolished the right to strike. That's not what unions do.
Today, billionaires and CEOs try to do pretty much the same thing. They claim they're trying to empower workers when they're actually crippling workplace democracy. Right now they're hell-bent on passing so-called "right-to-work" laws in Missouri, Pennsylvania, Maine, Ohio and Kentucky. (They failed two days ago in New Hampshire.) The laws they want confer no rights on workers, but take them away. And like the German Labor Front, they lower wages and all-but-eliminate collective bargaining and the right to strike.
Check out what else those charming folks at FreedomWorks are up to: Mother Jones just reported they produced a video showing a fake panda performing a sex act on a woman wearing a Hillary Clinton mask.
Fortunately it isn't bad taste that's timeless.

Did you think I'd died? I've been learning to speak to computers. " FGU265DYDY3Q " I declare, claiming this blog as my territory. As if any of you real, live, human beans ever had any doubts. "FGU265DYDY3Q, Technorati," I mumble, practicing my pronunciation. I'm beginning to think speaking Chinese IS easier.
Now and then, this blog goes into hibernation, like a bear. (I have no idea why, then, I chose an elephant for a background - except, I suppose, that it remembers things and a blog is a good place for random reminiscence. Or something.)
This is one of those annoying "verify your blog" posts.
It's likely to vanish without notice, leaving in its wake a hideous 404 error. Forgive it, in advance.

Steven Taylor could force Newcastle move
NEWCASTLE defender Steven Taylor says he may be forced to seek a move.
The centre-back, 27, made his first appearance for four months in an Under-21s win over Norwich on Friday.
He said: "I want to play football. If I'm not going to get in the team, then obviously we will have to look at something else.
"I'm ready and fit for selection, so I just have to knuckle down and see what happens.''
QPR boss Harry Redknapp has denied he is poised to make a loan move for Taylor.

There have been multiple efforts to educate passengers about flying. ICAO has hosted conferences about the fears of flying and Virgin Atlantic has an iPhone app to explain different phases of a flight.
But I've never seen quite an effort as South African LCC Kulula has carried out. Readers of the Airline Business blog may remember Kulula's quirky telephone system, and that quirkiness isn't lost on these photos of their specially painted (err, decaled) 'Flying 101′ 737.
Stickers explain parts of the aircraft, like engine and seats, but also mention "the big cheese" for the captain's seat and explain the lavatory as "loo (or mile-high club initiation chamber)". Click on the photos for a larger view.
(These photos have been making the rounds on e-mail chains, so I suspect these images are from the airline, but if you have copyright info please let me know.)
5 Feb Update: These photos are from Flickr user shanair (Malcolm Nason). At the time I posted them I did not have any copyright info, photographer info, or know the photos originated from Flickr. Apologies and great photos Malcolm!

Nice pictures. I really liked to see more but one thing bother me was it's colour. It has very weird colour..Ration Packs
Michael Ford 5 February, 2010 at 6:21 am #
I really like this aircraft – especially the color… great article!
Will Horton 5 February, 2010 at 11:09 am #
Sharp eyes, Gary!
It seems the OK rego is temporary as the aircraft came from a Czech airline. I found some info here: http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19530
The pictures are taken by a photographer named Malcom Nason:
As you can see there, they are clearly marked as copyrighted – all rights reserved.
As much as I enjoy your site, I can't help shaking my head at your observation that you don't know their copyright status. As you know, this is not an afirmation taken lightly by anyone…
I'm sure something can be worked out if you try to contact the guy. If you don't succeed, maybe it'd be better to just link to the pictures; copying them is a big no-no, no matter how many e-mails "circulate".
Malcolm Nason 5 February, 2010 at 6:54 pm #
Just wondering who gave you permission to use my photos without any credit ? I would have no problem if you just had the manners to ask. Photos posted on Flickr are copyrighted.
On the subject of the OK- registration, the ex New Axis aircraft was ferried from Ostrava to Shannon by GECAS for painting as OK-PIK and was rolled out for photos with the South African reg before returning to Ostrava for final paperwork with the Czech reg taped back on
Will Horton 5 February, 2010 at 7:26 pm #
Hi Barbu,
Thanks for your comment.
As I indicated on the post, the images were sent to me without any copyright information. I had no idea until your comment they originated from a Flickr user.
Because the images show the aircraft emerging from the paint shop (not an area anyone can have access to), were high resolution, and are of a professional standard, it was easy to presume they originated from a PR agency.
I don't think it's fair for you to shake your head since we did not know they were copyrighted! We take copyright quite seriously. As you are aware, we generate much media and articles ourselves.
Now that we know the origin of the photos I'll communicate with the photographer (who has since left a comment).
Thanks for pointing out the photos are from Flickr.
Will Horton 5 February, 2010 at 7:36 pm #
Hi Malcolm,
Please see my reply to Barbu's comment. The images were sent to me without any copyright info or photographer credit. Since they were high-res, professional, and taken outside the hangar (which not everyone has access to), I assumed they were from a PR group as we receive many similar types of photos. (For an example, see: http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/flight-international/2010/01/thomson-airways-christmas-plan.html)
Apologies for the mishap. I have since amended the post. I would love to keep your photos up, but if you would like me to take them down then please let me know.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Jacqueline Laurita Says the Worst Thing About The Real Housewives of New Jersey Is …
As an original member of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Jacqueline Laurita has had to put up with more than anyone's fair share of drama, catfights, and table flips, but as the show starts filming its fifth season, Jacqueline is opening up about her least favorite part of being a reality TV star.
She tells Parents Magazine that while the show is a great way to meet wonderful people, she's not a fan of viewers who are intentionally hurtful. She explains, "The worst part of being a reality TV star is the hateful people who reach out only with the intent to hurt me because they think they know me...but they don't."
And for those viewers that think they really do know all there is to know about Jac and her family, think again!
"The cameras are not on us 24/7. People are seeing an edited version of the whole picture. Learn from it, or change the channel," she declares.
Haters gonna hate, but we're glad Jacqueline is willing to put them in their place. How well do you think you know the Lauritas?

|From Priest & Bright's "Quantum and Woody"
"'Why don't you write comics anymore?' I get asked this a lot, so much so that it made sense to me to post something about it. At some point I was no longer a writer. I had, somehow, become a black writer. This perplexed me, considering that, back in the halcyon 80's, where Marvel was a hotbed of scathing, litigiously un-PC sexism and racism (reference: Rescue Me's potty-mouthed fire house), I was never seen as a 'black writer.' I competed with everybody else, with guys who had much more experience than I, and did the grunt work and odd jobs just like anybody else. Nobody at DC hired me to reboot Green Lantern in Emerald Dawn because I was a black guy, and Fabian Nicieza seemed to not notice or care about my skin color when he approached me to dream up a Power Man/Iron Fist-esque buddy book for his startup imprint Acclaim. Pre-Milestone, the subject just didn't come up. Which isn't to suggest racism did not exist, it surely did, but that, for the most part, my race had nothing to do with the assignments given me (or not as the case may be). Somewhere along the way, Marvel became much more PC and I became inexplicably much blacker."
Some annotation here. I worked for Nicieza at Acclaim (the former-former Valiant), and what Priest writes here is spot-on. Gender and race did not seem to be an issue for Fabian. We had a very diverse staff, diverse creators, and diverse characters -- but the key was, it wasn't diverse "by design," to fit some quota. It was just an organic combination of people and ideas.
Point two: I feel a similar hyper self-awareness of being female in the comic industry, always have and probably always will. When I wrote comics and comics-related articles, I was a "Female Writer" -- all opportunities offered me had to have a component of highlighting my Femaleness, my status as Female Writer, Female In The Comics Industry. I was not a person, a writer, a fan of comics -- I was a quota, I was a person whose intentions and qualifications were suspect because of my gender, I was a figurehead to be trotted out during Women's History Month Time and then put back in the box.
In fact, the only comic writing gig I ever got that felt completely devoid of this aspect were a couple of journalistic assignments I received for Marvel's X-Men magazines, in which I was hired because I "knew" X-Men; my editor never made me feel anything other than I was just another writer, my gender not influencing the matter in any way. Of course, by the time I wrote that material, I had changed my professional writing name to the genderless "V.R. Gallaher" -- because I felt I would be taken more seriously in comics if it wasn't immediately known that I was a Female Writer.
But that sort of shit really bothered me. And reading back Priest's words, I totally get it.
|From Priest and Bright's "Quantum And Woody"
Priest goes on to elaborate how virtually every project he was offered post-Acclaim was related to his "blackness":
"I've said, repeatedly, that if a publisher wants to get real and offer me a gig—not an opportunity to run in circles and then jam me—I'd look at it. Flash, Green Lantern, Thor, Deadpool. But if my name only comes to mind when looking for a writer to helm The New Black Mambo, thanks but no thanks. It really won't bother me to never write comics again."
This is how I felt when I started turning down opportunities to write for more female comics anthologies and other "Representing The Femaleness" type guest-posts and convention stuff. I am not anywhere near as accomplished a writer as Chris Priest, but I guess my point is: if someone with his impressive resume is treated like this (and there are many, many others who have faced the same situation), I don't have a shot in Hell. I really don't.
Other than to create my own work, in which writing novels seems to be a lot more cost-effective and less stressful than brokering comics deals -- because in the end, I still have to go to the well and try to sell comics to people who look at me as A Female Who Wrote A Comic Book. I still have to make the decision: do I use the "female cachet" to help get these books sold? Is that whoring myself? Or will I be suspected of being a whore if I'm a female in comics anyway? Isn't that always the refrain on message boards? "Whose dick did she have to suck to get that writing gig?"
Well, I'm V.R. Gallaher. I'm not even female. I could change the name to my Blogger tag "Verge" -- see, now I'm no longer human, I'm some sort of intangible Internet Entity. So there you go. Problem solved.
Again, I think the basic problem is that mainstream comics lacks that organic diversity. You know this is true. Fabian Nicieza didn't hire Priest because he was African-American -- he hired him because he was talented. Fabian didn't go: I have this new black superhero here, who is a black writer I can use to write him? But this happens often in Comics: I have this "Women's Tribute" comic, who are females that we are never going to hire again who can contribute? We have a book about a female character which is written by a female! Amazing! When we were trying to figure out who would write it, we were like: we need a female writer, because that would be cool and then women can get involved in writing our books and shit.
It just makes you feel shitty, especially when you have spent a good deal of your life in this fandom and business. You are constantly weighing keeping your integrity against just being that figurehead for Women's History Month and getting the scraps that come with it. "If I play up the woman thing, I will get more sales. I'll get sympathy sales. They won't even read my fucking book. They'll just buy the comic and feel good like they've contributed to a charity."
And so in the end, I agree with Priest about just not being able to take it anymore. Feeling dehumanized. Not being accepted for who you are, but what you "represent."
Which is why, going back to "Quantum and Woody," if it turns out that Priest/Bright were cheated out of the rights here -- or if not exactly cheated, "Alan Moored" out of them -- I'm going to be really really sad. Because "Q&W" was more than a comic book to me -- it represented a sort of utopia where people were hired for who they were and the ideas they contributed, where making comics was fun, where people poured their soul into the creation of characters. I sometimes feel that this era is over. I sometimes feel like Acclaim was a great anomaly, a bubble.
One day, I will have a lot more to say on this topic. One day.
Postscript: To those females in comics who so vocally jump to the mike every time this topic is brought up and proudly reply that they have NEVER seen any sexism in mainstream comics and don't know what I'm talking about -- you are the WORST. Ditto to people of color who say there is zero racism in the industry. I hope being a "good soldier" gets you plenty of work; it will only last for so long, though.

Tulsa, Okla. (January 17, 2009) – In just his fifth start at the annual Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, Roush Fenway Racing's rising star Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., advanced directly to Saturday night's A-main for the first time in his career. Stenhouse, Jr. competed in Saturday night's finale in the Esslinger-powered RFMS Racing No. 132 Spike but it would turn out to be a long 50 laps for the 21-year old.
"I felt pretty good going into Saturday's A-main," said Stenhouse. "We had a good car on Tuesday and won the heat, the qualifier and fell just shy of winning the main. The car was tight on Tuesday but we figured out that we had a few issues so we got those fixed for Saturday."
Stenhouse, Jr. maintained his eighth-place position for the first half of the race while veteran driver and four-time Chili Bowl champ, Sammy Swindell drove away from the 25-car field. In an effort to advance his position, Stenhouse, Jr. moved to the top of the track but to no avail, he fell steadily from eighth to 14th. The coveted Golden Driller trophy eluded the Olive Branch, Miss.-native when an ill-handling car ultimately saw him finish 14th. A disappointing day for the open-wheel stand out.
"I don't know the car just didn't handle that great." Stenhouse, Jr. continued, "I ran the bottom for a long time then got bored so I went up top to see if I could make something work and all I did was fall backwards. At that point, you either win or you don't. I was definitely disappointed but we'll give it a try again next year."
Swindell went on to capture his fifth Chili Bowl title followed by Tracy Hines and Brad Kuhn in second and third. Stenhouse, Jr. will assume driving duties for Roush Fenway Racing on April 11 when the Nationwide Series visits Nashville. Stenhouse, Jr. will pilot the No. 16 CitiFinancial Ford Fusion for six races and the No. 16 3M Ford Fusion for one race in 2009. Stenhouse, Jr. will share seat time with veterans Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle and Colin Braun.

"Bob's Burgers" won't be the best show on Fox's Sunday night Animation Domination, but it's better than "American Dad" or "The Cleveland Show."
This January, Fox is adding the new comedy "Bob's Burgers" to their Sunday night Animation Domination block. The show about a family-owned burger joint features the voice talents of H. Jon Benjamin, Kristen Schaal, and Eugene Mirman.
Fox has picked up 6 episodes of the animated adaptation of 2004's most quoted movie, Napoleon Dynamite. Deadline has the deets:
The original cast of Napoleon Dynamite led by Jon Heder is back to voice the animated series, which follows the misadventures of an awkward high school teenager and his quirky friends as they struggle to navigate life in rural Idaho. The film's writers Jared Hess, who also directed it, and Jerusha Hess wrote the adaptation with The Simpsons veteran Mike Scully.
Seems like the perfect movie to turn animated considering the film itself is insanely over the top. I always understood the llama for a pet and awkward teenage boy desperately in need of psychological counseling, but side ponytails? C'mon, no one wears those anymore!

Here's some nice - and very contrasting - concert news from two artists we've blogged about before. First up, Jane Berthe, who is an excellent source of inspiration for creative, themed programming, will perform a new recital, "Fantaisie Française". This concert is dedicated to the turbulent century of French history 1850 - 1950, where the harp was such a source of fascination for French composers. Jane's first performance of this programme will take place at the Muffendorfer Sonntagskonzerte in Alt Martin, Bonn-Bad Godesberg in Germany, on February 3rd at 5PM.
Meanwhile, Maria Christina, who has recently been working with Dominic Murcott and the blue harp in London, will play at Athens's Half Note jazz club with Pete Long at the end of January. Pete is, among other things, the director of the Big Band at Ronnie Scott's. He also has a fantastic biography, an inspiration to all of us who find our pens hovering over a long list of conductors we've worked with.

2010 BMW X3 Interior
This interior review was created when the car was new. Some links may no longer point to an active page.
Most critics praise the BMW X3's high-quality, luxurious cabin. Its main downsides are the sometimes confusing controls and a cramped rear seat.
- "Where the X3 disappoints is in the intangible and tactile, how the interior looks and feels. Textures and materials have been improved, including a higher quality of optional leather, but there's still no mistaking the X3 for one of BMW's luxury sedans." -- Automotive.com
- "Interior materials are fairly nice, but some testers feel they're not as rich as they should be given the X3's lofty pricing. ... Some minor rattles were noted in the cargo area of one test example." -- Consumer Guide
BMW X3 Pictures
The 2010 X3 offers ample room in the front seats, though the rear is a bit cramped -- a typical complaint in the compact SUV class. Leatherette upholstery is standard. The optional Cold Weather Package ($1,000) comes with heated front and rear seats as well as retractable headlight washers.
For a more spacious and comfortable rear seat, consider the Audi Q5, which costs about $2,000 less and comes with a sliding rear seat to increase seating or cargo space.
- "As always, we appreciated the impressive interior layout that yields a nearly perfect driving position while offering rear passengers the kind of legroom they might expect in a one-size-bigger ute." -- Car and Driver
- "The standard front seats are comfortable and firm, with sufficient support for sporty driving; there are also optional sport seats and sublimely comfortable 16-way power seats. The rear seats are quite agreeable as well, with plenty of head- and legroom for average adults." -- Edmunds
- "Inside, the X3 masks its compact dimensions well. The driver's seat, which comes with standard eight-way power adjustment, has lots of travel in all directions. Combine that with the telescoping steering wheel and there should be adequate room for drivers of all sizes." -- Cars.com
- "The front seats are supportive and comfortably bolstered. The standard seats are more comfortable than the Sport seats and quite adequately restrain occupants' posteriors when the road begins to wind." -- Automotive.com
- "Seat cushion is set a bit low for optimal adult comfort, but overall [rear-seat] room is more than sufficient." -- Consumer Guide
Interior Features
Reviewers like the quality of the X3's interior appointments, although some have complaints about the button-heavy dashboard. Standard features include a leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic steering wheel, vehicle and key memory, automatic climate control, an auxiliary audio input, a service interval indicator, HD radio (newly standard for 2010), and remote entry/tailgate release.
A Premium Audio System ($675) comes with eight speakers and a Digital Sound Processor that has settings to make acuoustics within the car sound like a jazz club, concert hall or cathedral. A Navigation System is available for $1,800, but reviewers find it frustrating to use and caution against it. The X3 doesn't offer a rear DVD entertainment system, which may be a testament to the fact that it's a little small to be a good family vehicle.
- "The X3's interior has fold-flat second-row seats and tasteful wood trim on its instrument panel and center stack. This wood also decorates gracefully sculpted front door pulls that angle front-to-rear between twin door-storage pockets at their lower ends." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "The driver's cupholder is in the center console, rather than popping out of the dash to the left of the steering wheel, as it does on some Bimmers. This is a blessing, because dash-level cupholders always seem to splash beverages on your left knee during hard driving in a small vehicle like the X3." -- BusinessWeek
- "A few features proved frustrating. The optional navigation system is a bear to use -- even without BMW's much-maligned iDrive system. The center console box ratchets open and shut in noisy motions sure to awaken sleeping passengers. The auxiliary jack for MP3 players is mounted on the back of the center console, facing the backseat. That makes for a long reach for drivers." -- Cars.com
- "Previous X3 interiors never felt quite up to par with other BMWs, but that is no longer the case. More soft-touch materials and a healthy amount of lustrous wood trim dress things up convincingly, although BMW's button-heavy ergonomics remain. The navigation system is a joke, making us almost wish for iDrive." -- Car and Driver
- "Audio and climate controls are logically arrayed and marked, but some are a bit out of easy reach. The navigation system includes a screen that flips up from the dashtop at eye level. It only absorbs a few audio functions, but some testers find it difficult to program." -- Consumer Guide
With the rear seats folded down, the X3 provides 71 cubic feet of cargo space. This is quite respectable for a compact SUV and beats out some competitors. By contrast, the Audi Q5 provides only 57.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Interior storage areas, however, are sparse. They include a front center console armrest, storage nets on the front seatbacks and front passenger footwell, and dual cupholders.
- "Cargo area, at 71 cubic feet, is impressive." -- Automotive.com
- "Storage throughout the cabin is generous: each front door has two lower bins, both fully enclosed for more secure small-item storage." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune
- "Cargo area has compact station wagon floor space but SUV height. Rear seatbacks fold without removing the headrests or flipping the lower cushion, but don't rest fully flat. Generous front-door map pockets are nice, but interior storage is meager otherwise." -- Consumer Guide

ANDERSON, S.C. -- Investigators say a man shot another man to death in a Honea Path bar because he was tired of the victim bragging about how he beat the other man up.
The Anderson Independent-Mail reported the testimony was part of a preliminary hearing Friday. A judge ruled a murder charge against 31-year-old Alex Anderson can be taken to a grand jury.
Authorities say Anderson told them he was angry with 38-year-old Broadus White Jr. because White knocked out some of his teeth in a fight over a drug deal. The two men were in the same bar on Aug. 3, and Anderson got angry and shot White after hearing him tell a woman about the fight.
Anderson's attorney says he shot White after the victim reached in his pocket.

Mark Hughes unveiled as new Stoke City manager
Posted: May 30, 2013|
MARK Hughes swept into Stoke City for the first time this morning and immediately set his sights on a consistent top-10 finish.
Hughes told a packed press conference he was delighted to have the chance to manage such a well-run Premier League outfit.
He praised previous boss Tony Pulis for leaving such a strong outfit behind - but vowed to make his team more offensive.
The 49 year-old Welshman acknowledged there could be a potential shift in power in the Premier League next season because of all the managerial changes.
He said: "If there's disruption in the Premier League, let's see if we can take advantage and be in that top 10.
"That's where I want us to be consistently.
"I believe that's where Stoke City can be for many, many years.
"It will take a lot of hard work, but I feel with the support we will get that we have the basis of a very successful football club.
"I'm here because I believe this is where I should be."
He defended his managerial record, but admitted there had been mistakes in his last post at QPR before his sacking in November.
"At the end of the day I felt I improved the squad, but for whatever reason it was difficult to galvanise the group.
"There were reasons behind it and I tried to address it, but it didn't come off for me."
