News: Cromartie, Landry Selected to Pro Bowl
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
Via the Jets' official twitter feed, the NFL announced that Antonio Cromartie and LaRon Landry have both been named to the AFC roster for the 2013 Pro Bowl. Both players will be backups.
For Cromartie, I don't think anyone would argue that he deserves this honor. Landry had a shaky start, but has been much better over the second half of the season, although this is only going to increase his asking price when he hits free agency.
D'Brickashaw Ferguson was named as a second alternate and Nick Mangold and Joe McKnight were named as third alternates. When you compare the season he's having with the season he had last year, it seems ridiculous that Ferguson was selected last year, but not this year. As for the fact that Muhammad Wilkerson wasn't even named as an alternate, don't get me started…

With One Person I Never Got Bored
We come to this world, don't ask me where from, and we leave it after dancing on it for a while, don't ask me where to. But some of us are otherworldly all through. I had the fortune to get to know one of them: Charlotte Zutrauen, who passed away this spring after more than a century on the planet.
Charlotte was born in 1908 and already at a young age she became an institution, an icon, in the emerging Hollywood. She was connected to an Indian guru, who was a spiritual advisor behind the scenes to movie moguls and other leading figures of the silver screen industry. Soon, so was Charlotte.
I met her in 2001, when I spent a couple of weeks in Los Angeles, several times in her inspiring company. Already at our first meeting she did, as they say, blow my mind.
Having written books on astrology and what-not, I've had my share of encounters with self-proclaimed New Age gurus, few of them making any kind of impression. Charlotte was nothing of the kind. She was the real deal.
Me and my friend Philippe Morotti picked her up at her rather modest house high up on the Hollywood Hills, for a ride downtown and a lunch. Before we were even halfway down the Hills, she had described my personal life dilemma in a nutshell. My curse. I get bored so quickly – with people, activities, anything.
She told me not to feel guilty about it, but to accept it and come to peace with it. That might not sound very profound, but think again: What could me more of a blasphemy than boredom? A splendid universe opens up to us when we leave the womb. Billions of people surround us, ready to interact and share. How ungrateful it is to quickly grow bored of this formidable gift!
So I tend to get bored, and then to be ashamed of it. Much of my life I spend struggling to hide my boredom, like a perversion even Dante could not have imagined. My dark secret.
When she revealed this, just a few minutes after meeting me for the first time – and showed complete acceptance of it – I felt deep relief. Instant therapy. Those words of hers still have the power to console me.
Later, when I got home to Sweden, I told my mother about this encounter and what Charlotte had stated about me. Although we had never ever even touched the subject before, my mother immediately nodded and mumbled a spontaneous confirmation. She knew in a second that Charlotte was right.
But Charlotte wasn't ready with me just yet. She made me start working on a movie script – giving me the glimpse of a theme and urging me on. Not that a movie script changes the world in any way, or even me, but because I just had to do it. And she understood that writing is what makes me tick.
When it comes to my writing, I never allow anyone else to guide me. I never listen to suggestions. There's no point. What I need to write is so particular to me, others are extremely unlikely to contribute. It's just a waste of time.
Again, Charlotte was different. She found the seed of the story deep within me – or she planted it there, what do I know? Anyway, I felt it rising from inside, like any other story I ever wrote, and I threw myself at the laptop, starting to write.
It was finished in a few months, which is sort of record time for me, at least the last couple of decades – my first full-length movie script. It's called Chastity and is set in Medieval times. A drama about impossible love. It's still floating around somewhere in Hollywood.
I wouldn't mind seeing it turned into an actual movie, of course, but that's not as important as the experience of writing it. The plot, the dialogue, everything came to me automatically, and the result was a story of which I felt immensely proud. It was what I wanted to write, without previously being aware of it. Many thanks, Charlotte!
A couple of more screenplays quickly followed. Now, I'm back to books again, but the scripts took me on a voyage I had not imagined beforehand. I'm sure I will get back to it, one of these days.
I left Los Angeles. Charlotte and I exchanged a few letters and an occasional phone call, but I never saw her again. On May 1, 2011, she passed away, 102 years old. I don't care. In my mind she is still very present and active. I never get bored of her.
The portrait photo of Charlotte above was taken by my old friend Philippe Morotti, who was also the one to introduce me to her.
PS: Charlotte's last name Zutrauen is German for confidence. Indeed.

Sometimes we meet people who leaves a great impression in our life and turn it in another direction. Don't get bored! just remember Charlotte and look for others like her, there is so much in this world and don't forget the Aikido there is still a lot you can discover and do with it, only think about how we can help with that art O'Sensei left us.ReplyDelete
Thanks for an interesting post, although I don't share the boredom:)
Aikido is one of the few things I keep on doing - not that I escape fighting boredom also there, occasionally. It's an art. That's why it continues to intrigue.ReplyDelete
I'm reading After dark by Haruki Murakami and one phrase Mari, one of the characters said reminded me you and Charlotte: she met a chinese girl under bad circumstances, translating for her and explaining the case to the other character she said that this girl became part of her, knowing that they will never meet again. So maybe in a sense Charlotte became part of you, just a thought.ReplyDelete
Boredom is rough. It makes it hard to stick with anything. I've decided that when I'm bored it's an opportunity to try something new. Will I continue with it? Probably not. But I will enjoy my time doing it, and life should be enjoyed.ReplyDelete
Irreverance, something new is always exciting, at least for a while. I've found that what prolongs the experience is how much it gets me curious. Maybe they are the ultimate opposites: curiosity and boredom.ReplyDelete

Dear Stefan,ReplyDelete
Charlotte left another incredible influence in her wake, showing us that we never leave this earth, but leave strands for the future folks to weave in. I picked up one of her strands.
In late 2011, I was looking for a house. A listing came up in the street of one of my best friends. The street was narrow with steep fall-offs on the side. If it had not been for my friend, I probably would have been a little too scared to even look at that location, but I went. As I was leaving the house, the flap of the mailbox opened, and I looked in. I saw a name on a random ad letter: "Charlotte Zutrauen". Since I am German, I knew immediately what it meant: "Confidence", "Trust yourself" - and I did: I ended up buying the house from her trust.
She was born in the same year as my grandmother who I was very close to. Two incredible women. I wished I had met CZ. Thank you for your blog.
Anonymous, many thanks for that wonderful little anecdote from life. I am not surprised that Charlotte continues to do her magic. And I remember the house high up on Hollywood Hills, also the scary road leading there. Very symbolic, that too. Facing one's fear, one is generously rewarded.ReplyDelete
I'm sure you'll have a marvelous adventure unfolding from that location, but you know it already.

PennyVancouver, BCHairBlackThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairPerfection In A BottleI absolutely ADORE the Azulene Oil! To be honest, I think whether or not you use Parissa products (but if you don't, you really should!) you should still use the Azulene Oil. It works, plain and simple. It does exactly what it's advertised to do. It removes any traces of stickiness easily--I even use it for taking sticky tags off of things--not to mention it calms your skin, is virtually odourless AND prevents ingrown hairs! I did some research (because I'm a nerd like that...) and it's all natural! It's extracted from the chamomile plant, that's why it's so calming! And the blue colour is natural too! It's just something that happens during the process. Anyway, all in all, it's a really great product!1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

It's light and absorbs quickly leaving no greasy residue.
It has no smell which is great for people like me who are sensitive to harsh chemicals.
Best of all it's inexpensive, a little goes a long way.3 out of 4 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Everything depends on how you define democracy. In its most basic sense, democracy means majority rule. But there can be majority rule in a free country or in a country with an authoritarian or even a dictatorial government.
In this age of sloppy uses of words, many people include freedom in their conception of democracy. But whether democracy leads to freedom is an open question, not a foregone conclusion.
In the United States, when the Union army of occupation withdrew from the South, years after the Civil War, majority rule returned to the Southern states — and the freedom of blacks was drastically restricted from what it had been under military rule.
Those who applauded the spread of democracy in the Middle East seemed to assume that the "Arab Spring" meant greater freedom. But there was no reason to assume that beforehand — and certainly no reason to believe it after the fact. Christians in Egypt have already lost whatever security they had under Hosni Mubarak.
The idea that "all people want freedom" is one of those feel-good phrases that some people indulge in. But you do not get a free country just because everybody wants freedom — for themselves. You can have a free country only when people are willing to let other people have freedom.
Nazis were free to be Nazis under Hitler and Communists were free to be Communists under Stalin and Mao. But nobody else was free.
Toleration for others is a precondition for a free society — and it is hard to think of more intolerant societies than most of those in the Middle East. There have been female heads of state in some other Islamic countries, but not in the Middle East.

This would help me get all my old records out!
VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine from Soundstage Direct Sweepstakes
According to the company:
The HW-16.5 is the standard in affordable record cleaning machines but neither its build quality nor its cleaning power has been compromised. Its high-torque, 18 RPM turntable motor is more than capable of withstanding the pressure of heavy scrubbing during extended cleaning sessions, and its 35-second cleaning cycle per side makes quick work of even the dirtiest records. Now with self aligning vacuum suction tubes for even more accurate cleaning, the HW-16.5's high-powered vacuum ensures quick, deep cleaning.
The newly designed vacuum pickup tube automatically adjusts to accommodate records of any thickness. The internal fluid collection system is made of stainless steel to prevent corrosion, and the fully enclosed design prevents splashing. In the VPI tradition, all components are extra heavy-duty and professional grade.
"I have found the HW-16.5 to be an outstanding performer. The record surfaces are microscopically clean and are so pristine they look new!" -- Bert Whyte, Audio Magazine
Clean your records with the HW-16.5 and hear what you've been missing. Includes: Built in dust cover 8oz bottle of VPI cleaning fluid & cleaning brush

Saw one of these in action once. Really amazing results!
I've wanted one forever but have never been able to free up the funds. This would make my year!
Just what I need when I am thinking of pulling out my LP collection.
Stereophile rules!
I'd love to be the winner of the esteemed VPI record cleaner thingie.
I've had my eye on this one for a long time!
So, I have records the survived a flood, would love to find out if this would help them!
Hey! Well, I don't have a record cleaning machine and cleaning by hands is a pain. I can definitely use this! I'll keep my fingers crossed on this one for sure
I have 30 years worth of records that have never been vacuumed...
Could really use this on my dad's collection that I was raised from the crib to college listening too, and plan on passing down in time. It's a bond we share and one of the few things that make sense in todays world. This would be a step up from the "original" discwasher brush I use. Thanks.
I have a friend who drools over VPI stuff and has thousands of records that could use a good cleaning. Would love to give him this wonderful gift! Thank you.
Make my box of dusty records clean so they can sing!!
Suck that spinning surface super smooth!
how about me, boss?
thanks for the contest!
Everytime I clean a record, I will think of Stereophile.
I would be beyond pleased to win this. I've been wanting one for years.
Can't afford a decent record cleaner. Do want.
My records need a cleanin' ... if I win I'd be a gleamin' ... !!!

VIDEO — Ryan Strome Scored Two Goals Before You Woke Up
Kevin Schultz
This morning at the World Junior Championship, the Canadians had a minor scare after they found themselves in a 2-0 hole early against Slovakia. With two goals from Ryan Strome (hockey news cover, right) the Canadians roared back to score four times in the second and twice in the third for a 6-3 win.
Also of note were the Canadians getting two game misconducts for hits on Slovakia players. The second, when Anthony Camara lit up Patrik Luza, looked like an especially painful shoulder-to-head hit.
In other Isles news, Griffin Reinhart picked up an assist as did Ville Pokka, although Pokka's Finns lost 3-1 to the Czechs.
Full video of Canada's win is after the jump including all goals and hits. You can find Strome's first goal at the 1:30 mark and his second, a nice breakaway finish, at the 7:00 mark.
The Canadians are back in action Sunday morning at 4:30am against the United States. Up next for Finland is Switzerland at 2:30am Sunday.

Hey Baby, What's Your (Style) Sign? How To Dress According to The Zodiac
- 1 of 37
After some hard-nosed research, we've concluded that the cosmos do indeed wield a certain power over our personal style. And the more you understand that power, the more you can harness it to your sartorial advantage. To that end, we've complied a brief primer on the respective fashion profiles of the twelve signs of the zodiac. Read on to learn (and, of course, shop) what your horoscope dictates you should be wearing.
- 2 of 37
Capricorn (December 22 to January 19)
Complimentary Colors: Dark shades including indigo, green, and black.
Style: You're all about effortless sophistication. Tailored pieces (blazers, cigarette trousers) and luxurious fabrics (hello ,cashmere!) should be your wardrobe mainstays.
Famous Capricorns: Kate Moss (pictured), Sienna Miller, Kate Bosworth.
- 3 of 37
Helmut Lang
Gala Twill Blazer ($460)
- 4 of 37
Women's Cashmere V-Neck Sweater ($80) in Green
- 5 of 37
Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)
Complimentary Colors: Electric blues, violet, and turquoise. Bright colors, especially red.
Style: When it comes to trends, you like to have fun and experiment. A sheer maxi skirt? Bring it on. Your fashion is reflection of your up-for-anything nature, so let your freak flag fly with an eccentric pair of shoes or a dramatic piece of jewelry.
Famous Aquarians: Emma Roberts (pictured), Elizabeth Olsen, Chloe Grace Moretz.
- 6 of 37
Chrome Eyelet Tee ($198)
- 7 of 37
Vanesa Arizaga
Kosmic Blues Necklace ($255)
- 8 of 37
Pisces (February 19 to March 20)
Complimentary Colors: Pastels like lavender, seafoam green, pink, and light blue.
Style: The Pisces woman's sense of romance should extend to her wardrobe. Look for feminine silhouettes, shimmering and soft fabrics, and lots of dresses and skirts. Also, never turn your back on a pretty heel.
Famous Pisces: Olivia Palermo (pictured), Jessica Biel, Rihanna, Dakota Fanning.
- 9 of 37
T By Alexander Wang
Drape Suiting V-Neck Dress ($295) in Celadon
- 10 of 37
Banana Republic
Chevron Striped Sequin Mini ($110) in Gold
- 11 of 37
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
Complimentary Colors: Red. Bright colors that pack a punch.
Style: Thanks to your natural born confidence, you shouldn't be afraid to try new trends and put your own spin on them. Seek out bold hues (red is your best color), daring silhouettes, and statement accessories.
Famous Aries: Jessica Hart (pictured), Victoria Beckham, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Emma Watson.
- 12 of 37
- 13 of 37
Solar Knot Chest Piece ($828) in Bronze
- 14 of 37
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
Complimentary Colors: Blues, earth tones, and neutrals.
Style: For you, style is synonymous with quality. Don't feel guilty about holding out for that designer handbag. We get it, you're not a label snob: you just appreciate fine craftsmanship. In terms of shopping, you're better off eschewing of-the-moment trends for investment pieces that won't go out of style five minutes from now.
Famous Taureans: Miranda Kerr (pictured), Penelope Cruz, Cate Blanchett.
- 15 of 37
Tuxedo Collar Blazer ($129) in Navy Blue
- 16 of 37
Louis Vuitton
Vivienne Bag ($4,150) in Black
- 17 of 37
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
Complimentary Colors: Vibrant yellows, orange, and magenta.
Style: Given the dualistic nature of the Gemini woman, your wardrobe can seem a bit all over the place (you prefers the term "eclectic"). That said, you're best off looking for classic staples (i.e. a cashmere blend coat) in one of those bright, cheery hues that suit you so well, along with some fun accessories that speak to your inner magpie.
Famous Geminis: Natalie Portman (pictured), Angeline Jolie, Heidi Klum.
- 18 of 37
Man Wool and Cashmere-Blend Coat ($895) in Fuschia
- 19 of 37
Isabel Marant
Sam Bronze Cuff ($430) in Yellow
- 20 of 37
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Complimentary Colors: Light shades like white, silver, and pastels.
Style: You're not a big style risk-taker and prefer to look pulled together in a ladylike kind of way. Indulge your sentimental side with vintage clothing and keepsakes. Also, on your next shopping excursion, pick up some silver jewelry. You might be surprised by how much you like it.
Famous Cancers: Diane Kruger (pictured), Selena Gomez, Olivia Munn.
- 21 of 37
Bespoke Foster Beaded Dress ($275) in Cream
- 22 of 37
Fin Ring ($88) in Sterling Silver
- 23 of 37
Leo (July 23 to August 22)
Complimentary Colors: Dramatic hues like red, gold, and black.
Style: Your fashion sensibility is informed by a) your taste for luxury and b) your need to be the center of attention. As such, you should seek out bold looks and (if your wallet can handle it) pieces by designer labels. In other words: Tom Ford.
Famous Leos: Jennifer Lopez (pictured), Cara Delevingne, Madonna.
- 24 of 37
Iris Print Wrap Shift Dress ($260) in Blue
- 25 of 37
Tom Ford
Suede-Toed Signature Pump ($750) in Scarlet
- 26 of 37
Virgo (August 23 to September 22)
Complimentary Colors: Earth tones. Black and white.
Style: You're usually something of a neat freak, but when it comes to fashion, you look your best in cool, boho togs (think: flowing maxi dresses, furry jackets). Black and white is your signature color combo – look for it in a bold pattern like stripes or chevrons.
Famous Virgos: Rachel Zoe (pictured), Nicole Richie, Blake Lively, Rachel Bilson.
- 27 of 37
Issa London
Short Sleeve Kaftan ($1068)
- 28 of 37
Short Furry Jacket ($100) in Tan
- 29 of 37
Libra (September 23 to October 22)
Complimentary Colors: Pink, blue, and white.
Style: A true lover of beauty, you can appreciate a wide variety of styles. However, don't let this result in a case of fashion relativism. Indulge in your natural predilection for luxurious, soft fabrics like silk and cashmere and classic, feminine pieces (a Libra woman should have a dress for every occasion).
Famous Libras: Gwyneth Paltrow (pictued), Kate Winslet, Camille Belle.
- 30 of 37
T By Alexander Wang
Silk-Satin Camisole ($99) in Jade
- 31 of 37
Red Valentino
Flared Twill Dress ($595)
- 32 of 37
Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)
Complimentary Colors: Black. Deep blues and reds like dark plum and midnight.
Style: You're drawn to daring pieces that accentuate your curves, but this doesn't have to mean a body-con mini. Scorpios are known as much for their sex appeal as for their sense of mystery. This season, try a pencil skirt with a zip-up slit or a pair of over-the-knee boots.
Famous Scorpios: Lily Aldridge (pictured), Katy Perry, Chloe Sevigny.
- 33 of 37
Nasty Gal
Zip It Up Midi Skirt ($48)
- 34 of 37
Sam Edelman
Kayla Over The Knee Boot ($275)
- 35 of 37
Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)
Complimentary Colors: Purple is the Sagittarian power color. Light colors like peach, white, and beige.
Style: Although you definitely care how you look, you put a premium on comfort. Your staples should include a good pair of boyfriend jeans, flowing, unrestricted dresses, and a soft and elegant blouse. And be sure you have a handbag big enough for all the stuff you like to cart around with you!
Famous Sagittarians: Katie Holmes (pictured), Taylor Swift, Amanda Seyfried.

GOUVERNEUR A Chemung County woman was arrested Sunday morning after she tried to smuggle 50 latex fingertips filled with drugs into the Gouverneur Correctional Facility, state police said.
Darcelle L. Tomlin, 26, Elmira, and her 6-year-old daughter went to the facility at 112 Scotch Settlement Road to visit an inmate, troopers said, when officers discovered that Ms. Tomlin was attempting to bring synthetic opiates inside.
Information about how she allegedly was transporting the contraband was not immediately available, state police said Tuesday.
Ms. Tomlin was arrested at 8:25 a.m. and charged with four counts of first-degree introduction of dangerous goods into a prison, a class D felony; three counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance: possessing a narcotic drug with intent to sell, a class B felony, and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor.
Ms. Tomlins daughter was placed temporarily with an area foster family until arrangements could be made for her to be handed over to relatives, state police said.
Ms. Tomlin was committed to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, in lieu of $20,000 bail, where she remained Tuesday.
Gouverneur Town Court officials said a preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for today.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG senior forward Hakan Ilhan (Stuttgart, Germany/Univ. of Stuttgart) has been named this week's Blue Chip Performer sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina after leading the Spartans to a 2-0 start in Southern Conference action.

MORRISTOWN – Shawn R. Macaulay, a lifelong resident of Morristown, believes his years of community engagement qualify him for a seat on the town council.
Currently in his third full year on the Morristown Central School Board of Education, Mr. Macaulay, 45, is also a 20-year veteran of the Brier Hill Volunteer Fire Department. He has served as chief for the last 12 years.
In addition to his work with the fire department and school, Mr. Macaulay is a supervisor at the state Department of Transportation, where he has worked for 20 years.
I have a lot to offer, Mr. Macaulay said, highlighting his experience working on budgets for the school and fire department and his work dealing with personnel issues as a DOT supervisor.
Mr. Macaulay said he believes his background has prepared him for serving on the town council.
I want to support my town, Mr. Macaulay said when asked why he wanted to run. I dont have an agenda. I want to be open minded.
Mr. Macaulay said he is interested in pursuing renewable energy sources within the town, noting the potential for solar power to help reduce the energy bill for the town government.
And Mr. Macaulay said he hopes to keep taxes as low as possible for residents if he gets elected.
I want to do whatever is best for the town, Mr. Macaulay said.
So far, Mr. Macaulay said, he has been talking to people within the town to spread the word about his campaign. He plans on putting up signs soon as well.
I know a lot of people [in the town], Mr. Macaulay said. I think Id represent them well.
Most importantly Mr. Macaulay said, if elected, he would make an effort to be available to residents who want to talk about issues that are important to them.
There are two council seats open this year, those currently held by Howard Warren and David W. Stout III. Frank L. Putmans term as town supervisor is also expiring.

vegetarian girl with no friends.
i live and breathe music, get at me.
I was born. I was happy. I was sad. I accepted it.I became neutral. Became vegetarian/animal rights activist. Music is everything, writing is second to that.
I was born and raised in Canada, music is my life, I enjoy yoga, photography and just being around others. Peace, Spiritual enlightenment, and freedom are my core in life. looking for a friend, or just some one to talk to, I'm here for you. :)
I've been a vegan for a year now. I always loved animals as long as I remember. I want to become a vet when I grow up (I'm already in training) and well thats all I want to be. I'm a goth, advance in math and Biology, a big fan of books, and sadly I'm a loner at school most of the time. I am the middle child of three kids. I love being different in many ways but at school I'm an Honor student and I'm a freshmen. I do my best o help animals which means I do have like 6 animals now. Oh and I love RATS!
Been through so much it takes a lot to affect me. Have people who won't acknowledge me,and my relationship with my mother is difficult.
I'm 17 I write songs and poems I love tattoos and love drawing and painting. my dream is to be a veterinarian when I grow up and make a difference in many animals as well as their owners and this world :)

I forgot to share this San Diego tidbit from last week. When at my first swap meet in years (where some friends were selling some ceramic goods), I met Dave Hester from Storage Wars.
There he was, on Sports Arena Blvd in San Diego, with a stall at the swap meet. He was hawking shirts, hats, and stickers with Yuuup on them. He also had old junk, presumably from storage lockers, out for a dollar. And folks were buying it!
I told him I liked him on the show and that we argued in my office about the other chowderheads. Like Jarrod and Brandi, both of whom I find annoying. (But the Senior Chief, who I work with, likes. . .)
Dave said something very interesting: If you love me, I am in your heart. And if you don't love me, I am in your mind. And I win either way. Good quote.
I asked him if the show was coming back and he said its season premiere was in a couple of days. Of course, he did not mention the massive lawsuit he was in with the producers:
"Storage Wars" may have a real war brewing with one of its stars.
Dave Hester, a former cast member, has filed a lawsuit against the show, according to RadarOnline.
In the lawsuit, Hester is claiming the series is fake, and he says when he made complaints to the network about the staged portions of the show he was fired, Radar reported.
The popular A&E reality show follows auctioneers and buyers as they bid on various storage units blindly and then raid their purchases in hopes of finding treasures. According to Radar, Hester claims show producers plant valuable items in the units to presumably make the show more interesting.
The suit also claims the show rigs the bidding process. In one part of Hester's suit, he goes so far as to say the network paid for one female cast member's plastic surgery to increase her sex appeal and make her more appealing to viewers.
Good luck, Dave, in everything you do. I know your business will be successful. . .

LizzieSeattleHairBlackDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairPretty Good!I recently bought this, and it's pretty good! It's not super fantastic, but not super horrible, you know? It smells like coconuts, and a little goes a long way! I have super dry, wavy, a few inches past shoulders-length hair, and conditioners never really make a difference, it's mainly oils and straightening that get my hair to be soft, so I didn't have high hopes for this, but it's just like any other conditioner I've used.

JERICHO/NEWPORT–The 2012 North Country girls tennis team got their season underway last week against Mount Mansfield.
While it was partly sunny with seasonable temperatures here in Newport, it was miserable in Jericho.
From the moment the team arrived at the courts rain poured down upon the players, forcing them to deal with the miserable conditions until the matches were eventually suspended.
FAIRFAX–The Lake Region Lady Rangers opened their 2012 softball season much like they did in 2011. With snow still twirling around the air and temperatures straddling the 40-degree mark, the Rangers could not overcome first-game jitters, falling to perennial powerhouse Fairfax, 8-3.
Fairfax got things rolling in the first inning, pushing across four runs (three of which were unearned), as Lake Region generously assisted their hosts with four errors.
ORLEANS – "The goal for the season is to compete, be productive and have an athlete compete in every event." Those were the words of Coach Auclair during a preseason workout.
This season's squad will be larger than usual, with 20 girls and 16 boys making up the 36 member team. 10 freshmen have also made the jump to the track and field team.
JAY PEAK - Team Canada woman's coach Dan Church is in his first year as head man of the national team. He has been around the block in terms of hockey experience however and knows the pressure that is on his team.
"We tell our team that pressure is a privilege," he said. "When you represent Canada, you are expected to play well. That pressure is a good thing. I don't know if I agree that we are the favorite since we have had trouble winning the World's lately. But we expect to play well each time out."
The rivalry with the USA has made both teams better.
NEWPORT–A cold day with a mix of sun and clouds greeted the North Country boys tennis team as they kicked off their season against Mount Mansfield Wednesday afternoon.
With the Falcons and Cougars splitting the six matches, it came down to total games won, and with a 61-57 advantage, North Country picked up the win.
Dave Durivage dropped the first set 2-6, but rallied to take the next two 6-1, 7-5, defeating Dave Poleson in the number one slot.
"Dave's match was all about ebb and flow," said coach Gary Atchinson. "He fought his way through it and toughed it out in the end."
JAY PEAK - With the Ice Hockey Women's World Championship just a couple days away, Sweden's women's hockey team is working hard. The team, housed at Jay Peak's golf course condos, is getting prepared for the eight-team tournament that starts Saturday at UVM's Gutterson field House. The tourney will feature the best eight women's hockey teams on the planet.
For Team Sweden, it's another chance to keep building a program that has become a contender for the medal rounds over the last few years. The team is generally acknowledged as a top five club on the world ratings chart.
ORLEANS–Coming off of a season where they reached the quarter-finals, the Lake Region softball team is looking to maintain that same level of play in 2012.
"We have set the bar pretty high over the last three years, and the group we have coming back this year is a veteran group, so they know what is expected," said head coach Matt Tinker.
Depth has been an asset for the Rangers in recent seasons, and they will have to utilize that depth again this year to fill some holes in the line-up.
Lake Region lost four players to graduation last year, all four being major contributors to the team.
NEWPORT–With the season getting underway this afternoon, the North Country boys tennis team is ripe with promise.
"We've got a good blend of upper and underclassman this year," said head coach Gary Atchinson.
Said senior Maoz Knight, "It looks good. A lot of the guys have gotten better, and we have all improved. I think we should be pretty good."
The team finished 4-9 and missed the tourney last season, but with a very balanced team in 2012, Atchinson is feeling good about this year's chances.
ST. JOHNSBURY–The NEK Pythons traveled forty miles south on Interstate 91 this past Saturday for a wrestling event held at the St. Johnsbury Academy.
The team faced some very talented wrestlers, but still came home with a first place finish as well as several second third honors.
Cazian Comeau-Elman was lone wrestler to take home the gold, wrestling in the 44 lb. weight class.
This is Comeau-Elman's first year with the program, and the first grader pinned all the opponents he faced.
Here is how the rest of the team fared on Saturday:
DERBY–The Northeast Kingdom Roller Derby women made their debut with an exhibition at IROC on Saturday evening.
The seven Busted Cupcake skaters played host to the Upper Valley Vixens from Enfield, NH and the Twin City Riot from Barre, introducing the sport of Roller Derby to Kingdom residents.
"I think it went really well," Ellen "Poison" Apple, Captain of the Cupcakes and League President, said of the evening.
The three squads split into two teams for the friendly exhibition match, and spectators on hand were intrigued by the action.

Undeveloped St. Lawrence River waterfront in the town of Oswegatchie is for sale and being touted as a prime site for housing.
A 27.16-acre parcel of United Helpers-owned land located on Route 68 with 1,605 feet of river frontage and 1,670 feet of road frontage is for sale for $1.3 million, according to Bruyere Chadwick Realty, Ogdensburg, the firm handling the sale.
Realtor Allison B. Chadwick said Monday she wants to sell the lot as a single parcel, ideally to a developer who will then subdivide the property and build single-family or condominium housing.
Mrs. Chadwick called the site virgin property that was ideal for development.
There is a tremendous amount of waterfront, she said Monday. Its always saleable, but it (the value) does go up and down with the market.
The property is located just west of the city of Ogdensburg line. It is included in the Ogdensburg City School District and can be connected to city water lines that service the United Helpers RiverLedge campus across Route 68.
The property also contains the former Pythian Beach, once a popular public swimming site.
Two years ago, the Greater Ogdensburg Chamber of Commerce considered it when examining the possibility of opening a public beach along the river.
United Helpers has owned the property since 1974.

The old adage about everybody being a comedian has become only a slight exaggeration here. So, on a recent Tuesday, I sat with about 80 wannabe comics, all hoping for an open-mic night slot.
This is a new phenomenon, and no one is sure exactly why or how it began.
"It's a big question," says local comedy king Ian Karmel. "I started an open mic at the Brody Theater when I booked my first show. I asked seven or eight people to come—which was almost everyone doing comedy in Portland at the time."
That was only three and a half years ago. Maybe it's the rise of slouches like Louis C.K., who make the art of talking on stage look dangerously easy, or the influx of local comedy venues, including Southeast's Helium and Funhouse Lounge. The Bridgetown Comedy Festival, a four-day festival taking over town this weekend, might even have something to do with it.
And I'm part of the boom. I don't know when performing a standup routine scraped its way onto my bucket list, but it did. In college, my roommates sent out Facebook invites for their DJ gigs and I started littering my laptop with sticky notes for plausible standup bits.
So, last week, I finally decide to try.
My night starts at Southeast Hawthorne's Helium Comedy Club, part of a small chain of clubs originating on the East Coast. I arrive at 6:30 pm with a routine involving Phish, cocaine and the Roseland at the ready. Amateur night sign-ups start at 6 pm, so I figure I would go for the "fashionably late" approach to avoid milling around.
I'd heard the night is popular, so I stack the decks, bringing three friends and having them write their names below mine. If any of us is called for one of the 25 slots, I'll do my routine.
The list is posted 30 minutes before showtime, after everyone has had time to spend some money at the bar. Even with the numbers in my favor, none of us makes the cut. (I later heard Helium's list isn't totally random, but "curated.") Some rejects belligerently stumble over to Funhouse Lounge for what appears to be a more inebriated alternative to Helium's amateur night. My crew follows.
The Funhouse Lounge is a year-old modern cabaret of sorts on Southeast 11th Avenue, only a half mile from Helium. The open-beam ceiling is lined with dim, rose-colored bulbs that resemble the pulsing lights of a Zoltar Fortune Teller Machine, bringing out the "creepy" in the black velvet clown paintings and carnival-swank memorabilia adorning the walls. There are no draft beers or stiff drinks to coax your throat, but there are enough Colt 45 and Rainier tall boys to go around. The host, a modest Russian gentlemen, agrees to put me on the list if I'm willing to wait.
A quick glance over either shoulder reveals what appears to be a makeshift writers convention, an underground who's-who of hacks and heroes with notepads. The bulk of men and women seem to know one another. The Portland flannel seems to be a staple among men, as is the haphazard "I decided to grow a beard for winter" approach and their passive demeanor, but the handful of women there don't seem to mind the skewed gender proportions. At 23, I'm one of the youngest in the room.
I recognize several from Helium, but no one says a word. I wait patiently by the bar, clinging to my beer, surveying the audience with a mix of skepticism and admiration. Within minutes, my hopes of performing early in the night are dashed. Everyone in the audience is a comic, too.
I stick it out the next three hours, watching nearly 40 comics in the process. It dawns on me that the Funhouse Lounge is not a place for polished acts, but rather a spot for people to test out new material without tarnishing the reputation they've built elsewhere. "Strippers never die, they just grind to a halt," says one middle-age guy closing out a series of one-liners. Another rants about how grocery checkers shouldn't inquire about a customer's well-being since his grocery list says it better than he can. Sometime in between the two Morrissey impressions and Karmel's raunchy bit about tasting your own semen, a few standups stand down, either forgetting their act entirely or cutting it short because of the time constraints.
Downtime between comedians is kept to a minimum. The barrage of acts is hit or miss, the humor fluctuating between deadpan one-liners and lengthy tales of observation. The host introduces one after another, complimenting all as they make their way to the stage until I'm the last comic standing. The room, once brimming with laughter, is bare and hollow.
"Jam bands are a fucking commitment," I hesitantly mutter into the mic. "I tried to get back into that recently. My roommates downstairs decided to watch all the Lord of the Rings, back to back, extended editions. I went upstairs and put on a Phish album, Salem '94 I think. Frodo and company had saved Middle Earth before Trey and the boys even got through the opening licks to 'Emotional Rescue.'" The next three minutes drunkenly whiz by.
Fewer than 10 people remain when I return the mic and reclaim my seat at the bar. My friend congratulates me and slowly turns his head, a smug twinkle in his eye.
"Dude—I could do this."
Five to see at Bridgetown
The label "comedian" doesn't quite fit someone as uniquely talented as Reggie Watts—the man is also a musician, entertainer, beatboxer and sweater enthusiast. On stage, Watts tends to construct astounding songs using samples of his own vocal arrangements, making him more of a one-man band than a true stand-up comedian.
From the song "Fuck Shit Stack": "You take some fuck, then some shit / Then some fuck, then some shit / You've got a fuck shit-stack—a fuck-shit stack."
Matt Braunger
Portland native Matt Braunger has since moved on to bigger and better things in the realm of comedy and even the business of show—opportunities not available to him in his beloved hometown. Braunger, though, who co-founded Bridgetown six years ago, hasn't turned his back on his roots. Whether it's his tall, lanky frame or his brash, guffaw-style delivery, Braunger's workmanlike charm is endearing to audiences of all ages.
On living alone: "I had a guy say to me, 'So you live alone—you cook for yourself?' Yeah, it's not the '50s, dick—yes, I cook for myself. What I tried to say was, 'Well, I eat a lot of Hungry-Man dinners," but I screwed up and made a perfect Freudian slip, and instead I accidentally said, 'Well, I eat a lot of Lonely-Man dinners."
Howard Kremer
Not many performers at this year's festival can call themselves rappers. Then again, not many are the indelible enigma that is Howard Kremer. One half of the brilliant Who Charted? podcast, Kremer moonlights as rapper Dragon Boy Suede—with three albums to his credit—and is a rampant enthusiast of all things summer. Kremer's goofball stage presence and deliberately absurd mannerisms are not so much a part of his act as an extension of his personality.
From the song "Newborn Baby Colt": "I shoot lightning, I hit you with a bolt / I'll have your legs wobblin' like a newborn baby colt."
Janet Varney
Though men outnumber women at Bridgetown nearly 5-to-1, the women this year constitute one of the strongest groups in the festival's brief history. Leading the way is Janet Varney, co-creator and co-producer of SF Sketchfest, host of the ladies-only podcast The JV Club and cast member of the hilarious Burning Love series. Varney's contributions to this year's festival branch out beyond the traditional set of stand-up—she'll perform sketch comedy while also hosting an episode of her podcast.
A recent tweet: "Today I feel like saying to the dry cleaner, 'YES, OK? YES, I get mustard on EVERYTHING.'"
Moshe Kasher
Moshe Kasher is something of a polymath: stand-up comedian, co-host of The Champs podcast, hip-hop aficionado and published author. His fascinating childhood memoir, Kasher in the Rye, details his troubled early years with splashes of demure, self-deprecating wit and comic disquisitions on seemingly mundane details.
On his hairy arms: "Anybody distracted by my arms
right now? Who likes it or thinks it's sexy? I kinda like it—I'm into
it. Sometimes I scare myself, 'Ah, rodent! No, that's my body—that comes
with me.' I like it because I think it makes me look masculine, and I
think we can all agree I need all the help I can get."

It's the book your grandmother and mother probably learned to cook from, the book you gave your sister when she got married. This, the first revision in more than twenty years, is better than ever. Here's why:andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;-Every chapter has been rethought with an emphasis on freshness, convenience, and health.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;-All the recipes have been reconceived and tested with an eye to modern taste, and the cooking knowledge imparted with each subject enriched to the point where everyone from a beginning to an experienced cook will feel completely supported.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;-The new Joy continues the vision of American cooking that began with the first edition of Joy. It is still the book you can turn to for perfect Beef Wellington and Baked Macaroni and Cheese. It's also the book where you can now find Turkey on the Grill, Spicy Peanut Sesame Noodles, and vegetarian meals.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;-The new Joy provides more thorough descriptions of ingredients, from the familiar to the most exotic. For instance, almost all the varieties of apples grown domestically are describedand#8212;the months they become available, how they taste, what they are best used for, and how long they keep.

America is a lost nation. When an epidemic of vampirism strikes, humans find themselves on the run from vicious, feral beasts.

Simply known as Mister, the vampire stalker takes Martin on a journey through the locked-down towns of America's heartland, searching for a better place while taking down any bloodsuckers that cross their path.

Playing in a jazz band there are often 5,6 or 8 silence bars. This is no problem as I can count it with my fingers. But how do you count bigger numbers of silence bars, e.g. 52, 112 or even more in classical pieces?
What techniques do you have in order to count large numbers of silence bars?

Comments about LaCrosse Big Chief 600G Waders - 32'':
I'm on my second pair. The first took me through five Northwest Duck seasons with 3-5 hunts per week on average. They stay up on their own without having to strap them to your belt. They didn't start to leak until five years, and, interestingly, both went within days of each other. I bought a replacement immediately. Prior to these, I got--at most--two seasons out of my boots, and these are way better in every way.

OGDENSBURG After passing a difficult budget, the City Council received news of another looming financial burden the rising cost of health care.
The city, which is self-insured, received some advice from representatives of Niagara Risk Management, its benefits consultant.
There is a chasm between the citys expenses and property tax income, said Zachary J. Zuckerman, Niagara Risk Management vice president. Weve seen that gap continue to widen.
Mr. Zuckerman painted a dire picture for the city where its health care costs, expected to be a little more than $2.5 million this year, will increase to $2.8 million in 2013.
By 2017, your plan costs will exceed $3.3 million, he said.
Mr. Zuckerman said the cost of providing health care for city workers is trending up by around 6.3 percent per year.
Mayor William D. Nelson acknowledged the crisis.
If we dont do something, it is going to continue to grow out of control, he said. The taxpayers cant sustain any more.
Mr. Zuckerman attributed the rising costs to advances in medical technology and techniques and increased utilization of the health plan.
One of the problems is revenue, he said. If we took our 6 percent increase and put that on top of a 2 percent property tax levy increase, we have a major growing problem that we have to try to manage.
Adding to the problem is the Affordable Care Act, sometimes called Obamacare, which will impose a 40 percent excise tax on insurance plans that cost more than $10,000 per member per year. Currently, Ogdensburg is projected to exceed that cost between 2018 and 2024.
Obamacare is here to stay, Mr. Zuckerman said. It has added some nice services. For example, your preventative services will now be covered in full but your members arent having physical exams.
The city covers 231 employees, 515 members total, in its plan.
Mr. Zuckerman said Ogdensburg would have few opportunities to lower its health care costs between now and 2018. Insurance coverage is an element of contract negotiations with unions representing city employees.
Compounding the problem, Ogdensburg has under-budgeted for its insurance costs for the past five years, meaning it has had to dip into other funds to cover the cost. This year, the city used a transfer from its water fund and its fund balance to supplement general fund spending and artificially lower the property tax rate.
To help find a solution to the rising costs, Mr. Zuckerman recommended creating a health care task force to review options for covering retired city employees and to push disease management and wellness initiatives for current employees.
Retirees receive the same benefits as active city workers, but could be changed to a Medicare Advantage or supplementary plan. There are 70 retirees receiving coverage, costing the city $561,569 in 2012. Mr. Zuckerman said switching to a supplementary or Advantage plan could save up to $250,000 each year.
Wellness and disease management initiatives would save money by preventing catastrophic illnesses, but cost $11,000 a year.
The thought is to manage people before they become seriously ill, Mr. Zuckerman said, thus reducing the number of large claims the city sees each year. Mr. Zuckerman said claims of more than $25,000 have increased from a total of $328,000 in 2011 to $501,000 so far this year.

We'll respond shortly.
We have an html table with rows that correspond to
database rows. We'd like an easy way to implement per- > row editing of this data, but <TR>s are not happy to be
wrapped in a <FORM>. How fix?
We're using ActiveResource as a foundation for our API client, but it doesn't process JSON errors correctly. How fix?
This has been in the issues tracker for ActiveResource for over a year and is marked low priority. HttpParty was suggested as an alternative, anyone else have something they like?
Some folks are using HTML5 Canvas and are taking IE9's canvas support for a spin. Turns out that if you apply some font settings to text on a canvas and then rotate it, IE9 will actually shift the center point of the text, creating a surprising jump, diagonal in this case. If you don't want your text to hopscotch across the page, you have to rotate it first, then apply the font.
Webrat used with selenium doesn't follow redirects with Rails 2.3 on Mongrel. One team used thin instead of mongrel, which solves this problem. Using webrat with thin requires a patch
Backbone would work well. For each object, you make a model. For each model, a view. The view renders the TR with input elements in it (not in a form).
Then bind keyup or onblur or whatever to the input elements, which the view uses to run a save call on the model.
That way, you don't need forms, just the input elements.
Typhoeus is a good (and really fast) alternative to HTTParty.
