Smart People
Drama, Comedy, Romance
Professor Lawrence Wetherhold might be imperiously brilliant, monumentally self-possessed and an intellectual giant--but when it comes to solving the conundrums of love and family, he's as downright flummoxed as the next guy. His teenaged daughter is an acid-tongued overachiever who follows all too closely in dad's misery-loving footsteps, and his adopted, preposterously ne'er-do-well brother has perfected the art of freeloading. A widower who can't seem to find passion in anything anymore, not even the Victorian literature in which he's an expert, it seems Lawrence is sleepwalking through a very stunted middle age. When his brother shows up unexpectedly for an extended stay at just about the same time as he accidentally encounters his former student, the circumstances cause him to stir from his deep, deep freeze, with often comical, sometimes heartbreaking, consequences for himself and everyone around him.

HEUVELTON - It was a typical Lisbon versus Heuvelton matchup on Monday at Stephanie Putney Field as the Golden Knights fended off Heuvelton in a 2-1 decision in front of a solid crowd in NAC West Division Boys Soccer play.
I thought we did very well against a very good team in Lisbon today, said HCS coach David Steele.
Were young and inexperienced and Lisbon has some good players. Lisbon had the better of the play but we didnt quit and made them work,
One of those talented Golden Knights is Adam Kelley who scored both goals of the contest.
Kelley finished off a shot at the 18 from the right corner into the far top corner of the net in the 15th minute assisted by Jordan Carr. Kelley tucked home a shot from the right corner wing to the near side post in the 59th minute to the near side post for a 2-0 lead. Aiden Scagel broke Heuveltons scoring silence with nine minutes to play on a goal off a short pass from Joe McDonnell.
It was just another Lisbon - Heuvelton battle. Always tight and usually by one goal, said Lisbon coach Bill Reed.
Jimmy Robinson made four saves for the Golden Knights (2-0, 3-1 overall) and Zach Lashomb had 12 saves for Heuvelton (1-1).
Meanwhile in the West, Harrisville moved to 2-0 with a 1-0 shutout over Edwards-Knox and Hammond evened its mark to 1-1 with a 4-1 decision over Clifton-Fine, and
Harrisville 1, Edwards-Knox 0: Tim Fowler scored from in front of the net off a cross from Jared Dreythaler with 26 seconds remaining in the game to give the Pirates a well-earned NAC West win. It was nice goal. He (Tim Fowler) took the cross on his foot and put it in the back of the net, said Edwards-Knox coach Joe Knox. Zane Mono stopped four shots in the shutout and Kaden Dandrow handled 10 shots for E-K.
Hammond 4, Clifton-Fine 1: The Red Devils scored the last three goals of the game and received single goals from Tristan Simons, Brock Tulley, Zeck Davidson-Cunningham and exchange student Alex Fokesson who Coach Katina Dillon feels is a fine addition of the team.
Alex just completed his necessary practices and is a good player. He has nice foot skills, said Dillon. Assisting on Hammond goals were Matt Martin and Payton Frisina to back eight saves from Nick Jewett. Ryan Jones scored the lone C-F goals unassisted and Jordan Planty stopped 18 shots.
Harrisville 1, Edwards-Knox 0: Courtney LaBeau scored the only goal from Sam Reynolds with 12 minutes remaining in the game. Abby Lafaver stopped 10 shots for a shutout and Kelsey White handled nine shots for E-K.

About 50 Fort Drum soldiers, veterans and military family members will get a day out fishing on the waters of the St. Lawrence River on Saturday, as part of an effort coordinated by a group of state troopers.
New York North Country Troopers Assisting Troops, founded in April, has been raising money with several organizations and businesses for months to get the event together.
These guys have given a lot to be in the position that theyre in, and we want to give something back, said Michael C. Pastuf, a senior investigator in the Watertown barracks and an organizer of the trip.
The guests will be taken out during the day by a group of 12 professional fishing guides from Cape Vincent, Clayton, and Alexandria Bay, starting about 8 a.m.
After a few hours of fishing, the charter boats will come together at the Clayton Town Dock about 1:30 p.m., where they will be greeted by local first responders. The group is asking for the public to be at the dock around that time to welcome the honorees.
The event stems from an initiative from Troopers Assisting Troops, a collection of active and retired New Jersey state troopers who last year bused in a group of soldiers for a similar fishing event, and a lengthy procession that lined the road as soldiers came in for the event.
It was one of those things you look at and think theres no way we cant do that here, Mr. Pastuf said.
Many of the Fort Drum soldiers fishing Saturday are from the posts 3rd Battalion, 85th Mountain Infantry Regiment, better known as the Warriors in Transition Battalion, which readies injured soldiers to either return to their unit or leave the service.
Adam A. Swenson, a state police investigator based in Alexandria Bay and one of the guides, said many of the soldiers from out of the area had not had an opportunity to do something like the fishing experience they will have Saturday.
They probably dont realize what we have up here, he said.
Mr. Swenson said he hoped the fishing experience would be able to give these guys a glimpse of what theyre fighting for.
He added that the charter boat captains have sacrificed hundreds of dollars to offer the trips for free or at a reduced price for the day. On land the guests will have a shore lunch, and Mr. Swenson said several local businesses and restaurants have donated food for the event.
The group hopes that a successful event Saturday will help it create more events to support military service members and their families. More information about the event and the group can be found at www.nynctat.org, or by calling 767-7447.

Midwest Living Review
This Des Moines-area amusement park with the throwback feel (it opened in 1974) upped its offerings in 2010 with the addition of Adventure Bay, a water park with 13 slides, a lazy river, a swimming pool and swim-up bar -- all included in the price of admission ($30 per adult, plus $5 to park).We love Adventureland because it's easy to navigate among the 100 rides and attractions, and the staff members are genuinely interested in making sure visitors have a good time. There are plenty of rides appropriate for the preschool set and some faster, more thrilling options for tweens and teens. An old train chugs around the property and pulls into a station set along a smaller version of Disney's Main Street U.S.A. A sky glider cruises over a lake, and a white-water raft ride give patrons a place to cool down on hot summer days. Get there when it opens at 10 a.m. to avoid huge lines, and check local grocery stores and banks for discount coupons before you go. Beware of concession prices; they are high. If you're looking for ways to save some cash, skip eating meals there and stop at one of the fast-food restaurants across the street on your way out.

text: Edith Wharton's masterpiece, The Age of Innocence, presents the reader with two haunting questions. First, how can a novel with "innocence" in its title be so filled with feverish longing and smoldering desire? Second, how can a love story this passionate express itself with such respectable restraint? The answer to these questions can only be Wharton's particular genius for portraying the mysterious contradictions of the human heart.

He was taken to ECMC and treated for minor injuries. No one inside the home was injured.

Welcome to my scratch of virtual land. Here you'll find my creative work, random thoughts, immersive travel narratives, essays on the writing craft, and other uber-nifty™ stuff. To stay in the loop, join my crew by filling out the form below.
This entry's a bit different than my usual fare. After watching the video embedded below, I started writing a comment. After about 500 words, I realized it was more of a blog entry. Then I realized I have a blog! So despite not really being in the "dating" phase of my life, I wanted to add my thoughts.
So, here are my advicey thoughts.
I almost always asked people I was interested in whether or not they're single. Which, I know, sounds awkward. A lot of people prefer to beat around the bush on this one, hinting at what they want to find out without directly saying it. Oddly, my experience has taught that it's a lot more pressure than just saying, "By the way, are you seeing anyone right now?" If you don't make a big deal out of it, it usually won't feel like a big deal.
Sure, there are ways to get your answer without asking. They may have already mentioned their status, and you can always check their Facebook as a preliminary measure. If the relationship status of your lovely somebody remains unclear, I seriously recommend asking outright.
That said, I also recommend setting up a situation where you can reply with a non-awkward response if they say they're romantically unavailable. So, for example, talk about a movie and then say, "By the way, are you seeing anyone?" If they say yes, suggest a double date! You wanted to get to know this person better because you thought they would be a awesome addition to your life, right? Well, now maybe you can have two awesome additions—plus the incentive to go find someone else interesting enough to ask out.

I've spent the last four years as a full-time freelancer, and there are plenty of things I wish I'd known about creating high-impact content when I started. The most valuable thing I've learned is how to write the types of content that get audience engagement. There are plenty of ways to do this, of course, and I've sometimes been surprised by the content that went viral. Among the tried and tested types of high-engagement content, however, you'll find a concept known as a "linkbait list."
Basically, you provide a rapid-fire list of tips, tricks, ideas, facts, or examples targeted at a specific topic. I really enjoy both writing and reading linkbait lists, but as you've likely seen for yourself, some of them are terrible. This article will walk you through the types of linkbait lists that have the highest success rate—and that leave both writer and reader feeling satisfied.

This is one of those posts that only about 15% of you will care about. It's not profound, creative, or even particularly well written. Rather, it's my update on what I've been doing—accompanied by a reassurance that neither myself nor this blog are dead.
Those of you who are members of the crew heard from me at the beginning of this month. About a month before that, I sent the third email outlining my current projects. Even telling you about my projects was a project I didn't follow through on.
Some of what's been going on is applicable. I've been working as the managing editor of a literary journal, presenting at a conference on engaged learning, preparing to present at a conference on educational development in Sweden (ICED 2014), writing a book on engaged learning (with a team of seven other writers), solidifying a creative writing community in my area, attending classes, and obsessively reading the Song of Ice and Fire series. (Season 4 premieres in just over a week! Gotta prevent spoilers!)

Today's technology provides innumerable new resources for hopeful writers, and one of the most powerful learning hubs is found in online video. When used appropriately, services like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and the countless other online video hubs provide some of the most powerful, thorough, and affordable learning centers for up-and-coming creative writers.
Are you finding that difficult to swallow whole?

Happy National Grammar Day! (No, seriously. It's a thing.)
This holiday is relatively new (circa 2008), and comes to you from a group of enthusiastic grammar nerds. Now, I may not be quite as deep into the "should" of language as many of the most passionate members of the grammarian community, but I do take pleasure in the elegance of a well-formed sentence. Grammar lets us communicate clearly and effectively—and, just as important, it gives us a set of rules that we can intentionally violate for effect.
I wanted to fill you in on some details of the day. The rest of this article will give you information on the holiday, a few of the nerdy happenings and opportunities available for you, and some of my favorite grammar-related videos.
From Albrecht Mar of Tilyun—Royal Scribe and Royal Historian of the Court of the Castellonian Empire—writing to His Eminent Lord Cammen Castell III—Emporer of the Central Lands, King of Ten Thousand Kings, Liege Lord of the Castellonian Empire—on this, the 17th day of the Silona (17.8), in the 157th year of the Castellonian Era (157 c.e.), being 1126 years after the conclusion of the Ventian Era (1126 p.v.).
You have asked me, My Most Eminent Liege Lord, to write you concerning the journey I wish to undertake. While I hope its political and diplomatic benefits are satisfactory on their own merits, the true questions of this voyage are tied to history (as my position inclines me) and philosophy. I have spent much time researching the history of heroes, and I believe our common mistakes in discussing heroism lead to questions well worth asking.
The first great misstep we often make is believing that heroes are the foundation of the world. Often, histories are told with only the mention of great men who led movements or armies or kingdoms, while little mention is made of the things these men led. In truth, even the greatest among us are but a weak force in the creation of the world. Heroes are made of the same flesh, blood, and bone as the rest of us. They are toppled by steel and spellwork. Their mightiest plans are felled by sickness and storm and momentary lust. When they die, even kings are laid to rest and make that final descent to dust with the aid of nothing but heavy time.

from Associated Press:
OAKLAND, Calif. -
The City Council decided not to appeal the case and agreed Tuesday to settle as a business decision after its attorneys fees in the 12-year-old case topped $4 million.
"What we analyzed was looking at a settlement in hand versus an unknown future," said Karen Boyd, a spokeswoman for the Oakland city attorney's office.
Earth First! activists Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney were arrested in May 1990 after a bomb exploded in their Subaru while they were driving in Oakland. Both Bari and Cherney were hurt in the explosion. Bari, who was at the wheel, suffered a crushed pelvis.
Investigators contended that the pair, who were at the time organizing a series of protests against the logging of old-growth forests, were carrying the bomb for some act of environmental sabotage.
But the case fell apart weeks later when prosecutors said there wasn't sufficient evidence to bring charges.
Last year, jurors found that Oakland police and FBI agents wrongly blamed the pair for the explosion in an effort to silence their environmental activism. In the federal suit, Darryl and the estate of Bari, who died of cancer in 1997, won a total of $4.4 million - $2 million from the city of Oakland and $2.4 million from the federal government.
The settlement comes two months after the Oakland City Council declared May 24 "Judi Bari Day" to honor the late activist.
07/01/03: EFF Launches "Let the Music Play" Campaign
Electronic Frontier Foundation Launches "Let the Music Play" Campaign Urges 60 Million Music Lovers in U.S. to Demand Legal Rights
San Francisco - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) on Monday, June 30, launched a "Let the Music Play" campaign urging the more than 60 million U.S. citizens who use file-sharing software to demand changes in copyright law to get artists paid and make file-sharing legal.
The EFF Let the Music Play campaign counters the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) announcement that it will file thousands of lawsuits against individuals who use file- sharing software like Kazaa, Grokster, and Morpheus.
"Copyright law is out of step with the views of the American public and the reality of music distribution online," said EFF Executive Director Shari Steele. "Rather than trying to sue people into submission, we need to find a better alternative that gets artists paid while making file sharing legal."
EFF's Let the Music Play campaign provides alternatives to the RIAA's litigation barrage, details EFF's efforts to defend peer- to-peer file sharing, and makes it easy for individuals to write members of Congress. EFF will also place advertisements about the Right to Share campaign in magazines such as Spin, Blender, Computer Gaming World, and PC Gamer.
"Today, more U.S. citizens use file-sharing software than voted for President Bush," said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Fred von Lohmann. "Congress needs to spend less time listening to record industry lobbyists and more time listening to the more than 60 million Americans who use file-sharing software today."
According to online media analyst Big Champagne, more than 60 million Americans are using file-sharing software.

06/18/03: World Land Speed Record Broken in New Mexico
A rocket-powered sled that can reach speeds of approximately 10,300 km/h has broken the world land speed record.
The un-piloted monorail sled reached Mach 8.6 - about nine times the speed of sound - beating the previous record of Mach 8 (9,852 km/h) set in 1982.
Both records were broken at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
Travelling down a 5 km straightway, the vehicle reached its target in around 6 seconds. Because of the sheer speed of the sled, observers heard only silence until a split second before it reached the end of the track.
"Psychologically, you think it's over", says Lt Col. Russ Kurtz, Director of Operations. "But then comes the sonic boom. I know it's coming. But I always jump a little".
"There were a lot of high-fives, hugs, handshakes all around," said Lt. Col. James Jolliffe, Commander of the 846th Test Squadron. "My hat's off to all the people that made it happen."
06/16/03: Musicians Labeled 'TRAITOR'
lifted from www.dotmusic.com/news/May2003/news29452.asp -
A number of stars including Madonna, Eddie Vedder, Dixie Chicks and Fred Durst have been singled out as "traitors" by right-wing website probush.com.
The site follows in the wake of widespread U.S. media coverage of a commercially available deck of cards depicting figures that have been outspoken in their criticism of the current American administration, called 'Deck of Weasels'.
The site also names Sheryl Crow, Barbara Streisand, Rage Against The Machine's Zack de la Rocha and Tom Morello, Mos Def, Ani Di Franco, Michael Franti and a host of other musicians, writers and public figures.
Both the probush website and the 'Deck of Weasels' use the legal disclaimer that they are satirical, though the website reads: "Parody. Not to be taken seriously. These "traitors" are not legal "traitors" of the United States. Though we wish they were."
Speaking to daveyd.com, Iriscience of the hip hop act Dilated Peoples and one of the artists named by the site said: "Things like this are ridiculous and irresponsible especially in today's political and social climate where a handful of powerful people are trying to squash dissent.
"Most of the people on this list had an anti-war stance not an anti-American stance. It's ridiculous to equate anti-war sentiments with being Anti-American.
"What's ironic is the fact that I'm out here trying to promote peace and end violence so you would think I and others would have a bigger platform to speak out. Unfortunately, we have people trying to silence and ridicule us for promoting peace."
06/04/03: Beer ice cream goes on sale
from the BBC
The distinctive taste of Newcastle Brown Ale has become the latest ice cream flavour from a family-run Northumberland dairy
Newcastle Brown Ale flavoured ice cream was launched on Tuesday by Doddington Dairies, and will only be available during the summer months.
The makers say the handmade ice cream reflects the region's identity, and was even handed out to the European Capital of Culture 2008 judges on their last visit.
Newcastle Brown Ale has already been used as an ingredient in locally produced products, such as bread.
Famous brand
Although the ice cream is made using the ale, under licence from brewers Scottish and Newcastle, the cooking process means it contains less than 1% alcohol.
Jackie Maxwell, director of Doddington Dairy said: "We were looking for an ice cream flavour that was distinctive, and had a strong identity with the region.
"Newcastle Brown Ale has all of that.
"It has been a fantastic challenge working on a product like this, with one of the world's most famous brands.
"Every part of the process has been great for us - from the design of the cartons, through to testing the ale syrup for just the right flavour.
"The ice cream highlights Newcastle Brown's unique flavour characteristics."
Award-winning products
Mrs Maxwell said the product had a caramel flavour with a "subtle" taste of Newcastle Brown and said it had gone down well with the Capital of Culture judges.
She added: "I think they liked it, they thought it was great. We got some feedback from the organisers and they said they had tasted it and enjoyed it."
Sharon Annette, of Scottish Courage, who brew Newcastle Brown Ale, said: "Doddington Dairy are an award winning North Eastern company, Newcastle Brown is an award winning North Eastern beer. It's a perfect partnership."
The Newcastle Brown Ale ice cream goes on sale at supermarkets and speciality shops across Newcastle and Northumberland from next week.
Wesley Willis, Alternative Tentacle's Rock Star, had to undergo emergency surgery on June 2nd at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, Illinois to identify the source of, and to suppress internal bleeding.
On Sunday, June 1st, Wesley was at a physical therapy appointment when he started bleeding. He was rushed back to the hospital where doctors tried to determine the source of his bleeding. Despite exhaustive attempts to locate the source of his bleeding via non-intrusive methods, doctors decided that they had to operate. So, on Monday, June 2nd, at around 1pm CST, Wesley was in surgery for 6 1/2 hours. They were able to locate the source of the bleeding and suppress it. Tissue has been sent off for tests to see if his leukemia has spread to other regions.
Wesley Willis, who has released over 50 albums - 3 of which on Alternative Tentacles - was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) at the end of 2002. It is not clear if this bleeding was related to his leukemia. This form of leukemia is treatable. Wesley has been undergoing care for his leukemia, and his doctors are very hopeful that the treatment will be successful. Prior to this incident, he has responded well to treatments. But this will be an ongoing battle. Wesley is clearly not out of the woods yet.
For more information on this type of leukemia, you can visit http://leukemia-lymphoma.org and we will have updates of his condition on our website.
All touring plans for the rest of the year have been cancelled.
Wesley celebrated his 40th Birthday on Saturday, May 31st.
Well-wishers are encouraged to send Get Well cards to Wesley care of the following address :

05/21/03: Oakland Declares Judi Bari day!
The city of Oakland has gone from proclaiming Judi Bari to be a terrorist to honoring her with her own official city day. This remarkable turnaround was proclaimed yesterday, May 20, in the chambers of the Oakland City Council nearly a year after a jury award Bari's estate along with fellow activist Darryl Cherney $4.4 million for violations of their civil rights committed by Oakland Police and FBI agents thirteen years ago. Bari and Cherney were falsely accused of car-bombing themselves while on a musical organizing tour for Redwood Summer 1990. The First Annual Judi Bari Day of Oakland will take place this Sat., May 24 at 11:30 am and consist of a quiet anniversary gathering at the site of the bombing at Park Blvd. nd MacArthur in Oakland, in front of Oakland High School. The public and media are inviated to attend. The resolution follows below this release.
Activist Darryl Cherney, who was riding with Judi Bari the day a car bomb almost killed her noted that in these days of the war on terror, "The government can not be trusted to decide who is a terrorist and who is not in many cases." Cherney said, "There is a political agenda that the federal government follows in declaring peaceful activists to be terrorists while anti-abortion groups and the Ku Klux Klan remain unscathed. Thankfully, the City of Oakland has righted a wrong. They should do this more often, like in the case of the activists who were shot by police at the port of Oakland during a peaceful anti-war rally. It's OK to admit you're wrong and make amends."
Cherney presented the Oakland City Council with a statue of "Gaia," the ancient Greek Goddess representation of the living, breathing Mother Earth. He said that she would be watching over them as they make their decisions about school closures and police brutality. The statue is the work of Oberon Ravenheart of Mythic Images in Sonoma County.

05/16/03: U.S. Army video game to train soldiers
By Reed Stevenson
For the past year, the Army has been handing out free games as part of its recruiting efforts, but in the coming months it will also turn to a video game to train squad leaders in real-life combat tactics.
"If you enrol in the army of the future, you'll get your helmet, your gun and one of these discs," said Wil Stahl, a game designer at Pandemic Studios who led the three-year project to develop the game based on the Army's requirements.
"You have an Xbox -- they assume -- at home," he said.
The combat simulator, which Santa Monica, California-based Pandemic showed off for reporters at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles this week, puts players at the head of two light-infantry teams locked in a running firefight in a vaguely Middle Eastern city.
The "bad guys" pop out from behind walls and pull up in pickup trucks with automatic-weapons mounted on the beds. When shot, they fall with a burst of blood from the head.
In developing the game, which is now being spun off as a mass-market release titled "Full Spectrum Warrior, Pandemic said it was careful to fictionalise details of the game's setting and to make sure that the U.S. soldiers acted with discipline and professionalism.
As for the digital battleground, the look shifted from Bosnia-like terrain to a more Arab-looking street during the course of development, he said.
"We can't ignore the fact that we are in Afghanistan. We are in Iraq," said Stahl.
The commercial version of "Full Spectrum Warrior" will be published by Calabasas, California-based THQ in early 2004 for Microsoft's Xbox game console.
The project is not without its critics, especially among experts who question the relationship between video games and violence among children.
"It seems to me that they're using the Army's involvement to legitimise the violence," said Joanne Cantor, a professor who researches issues concerning violent games at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
Separately, the U.S. Army said that more than 1.1 million people have gone through "basic training" in its "America's Army" personal computer game, which debuted at the Expo in Los Angeles last year.

05/06/03: Major Labels To Mess With Your Computers?
May 5, 2003, 4:48 AM PT
URL: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-999652.html
Some of the world's largest record labels are quietly financing the creation of programs by small software firms that, if deployed, would sabotage the computers and Internet connections of people who download pirated music, according to a published report.
Citing industry executives, The New York Times reported in an article that appeared on its Web site on Saturday, that the efforts bear varying degrees of legality including attacking a computer's Internet connection to slow or halt downloads and overwhelming distribution networks with programs that masquerade as music files.
"There are a lot of things you can do--some quite nasty," the Times quoted Marc Morgenstern, chief executive of software company Overpeer, as saying. The company receives support from several large media companies, it said.
If large record labels roll out the programs, it would be the most aggressive tactic yet in the music piracy wars by the recording industry, which has claimed that music piracy costs it more than $4 billion in annual sales worldwide.
Last month a federal judge in Los Angeles ruled that file-sharing services Grokster and Morpheus were not guilty of copyright infringement.
The Times said approaches under development range from relatively modest in degree to quite severe.
One method is a "Trojan horse" program that simply redirects users to Web sites where they can legitimately buy the songs they had tried to download.
Another locks up a computer for a certain amount of time, minutes or hours, risking the loss of data that was not saved if the user restarts the computer, the paper reported.
The industry's big five labels--Vivendi's Universal Music Group, AOL Time Warner's Warner Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Bertelsmann's BMG and EMI Group--have all backed the development of counterpiracy programs, according the industry executives, but none would discuss details publicly, the paper reported.

04/17/03: Missing Arms Cast Doubt on War
by Scott Ritter (former weapons inspector!!!) �
The remarkable images of the fall of Baghdad, while not signaling the end of "Operation Iraqi Freedom," do bring to an end a critical phase of the military operation - that in which coalition forces wore special protective equipment in anticipation of the use by Iraq of chemical and/or biological weapons.
The orders to strip down to regular battle dress reflect not only the advance stage of the campaign to liberate Iraq, but also the recognition by coalition commanders that the threat from Iraqi chemical and biological weapons has been all but eliminated.
The fact that these protective suits were not needed by coalition forces is a cause for celebration. But the total lack of chemical weapons on the battlefield, combined with the inability of the coalition, to date, to uncover any of the massive stockpiles of prohibited weapons or weapons-manufacturing capability, raises disturbing questions about what was supposed to be the main justification for the American-led military action: disarming a recalcitrant dictator.
While the days to come may bring with them the uncovering of weapons of mass destruction and/or associated production facilities, the inescapable fact is the allegations of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction used by the Bush administration to sustain the legitimacy of its Iraq intervention remain, as of this point, unsustained.
This uncomfortable fact must be addressed. It is not that anyone should shed tears for the demise of Saddam Hussein.The world will be a better place without him and his regime. But the world should be concerned about the damage the American military incursion did to the credibility and viability of the United Nations, especially given the dangerous world we all live in today.
Now, more than ever, the world needs a sound strategy for non-proliferation and disarmament. The United Nations had been, until recently, the accepted forum for dealing with such issues.

04/16/03: (hoax) WORKER DEAD AT DESK FOR 5 DAYS
(of course we put this story up on our site and then found it wasn't true. Good story nonetheless in this day and age.)
WORKER DEAD AT DESK FOR 5 DAYS (New York Times)
George Turklebaum, 51, who had been employed as a proof-reader at a New York firm for 30 years, had a heart attack in the open-plan office he shared with 23 other workers. He quietly passed away on Monday, but nobody noticed until Saturday morning when an office cleaner asked why he was still working during the weekend.
His boss Elliot Wachiaski said: "George was always the first guy in each morning and the last to leave at night, so no one found it unusual that he was in the same position all that time and didn't say anything. He was always absorbed in his work and kept much to himself."
A post mortem examination revealed that he had been dead for five days after suffering a coronary. Ironically, George was proofreading manuscripts of medical textbooks when he died.
You may want to give your co-workers a nudge occasionally.
Moral of the story: Don't work too hard. Nobody notices anyway.

RebeccaAlexandria, VAGreat WaxI recently cut my hair semi-short for the first time since Kindergarten and I was at a bit of a loss on how I should style it. When my stylist cut my hair she finished it with a spray wax which added a lot of texture, but the wax left my hair really sticky. This dry wax is not sticky at all. Moreover, I am able to slick back my hair (pompadour style) with it. My only problem with the wax is that it doesnt create much hold, so I find myself fidgeting with my hair often. Other than that, it smells okay, washes out easily and doesnât leave my hair looking greasy the next day!1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Anson LingUSA CADry And Matte, Just Perfect!I have tried many waxes but most creates a shine that I do not desire. They also feel "oily" after being applied regardless of the time frame. However after this wax is applied, it dries fast and does not leave a shine which is an eyesore in my opinion. It holds great and has an attractive fragrance to boot. The only cons of this product is the bang for buck value. It cost $20US shipped to me and the canister was a lot smaller then the competition such as Paul Mitchell Dry Wax and the like. For $20 I dont think I will be ordering this wax again as I would be in search of a better alternative.3 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

ALEXANDRIA BAY Leaders of the Republican Town Committee in Alexandria are being accused by fellow Republicans of trying to rig the fall election.
The head of Jefferson Countys Republican Party says that some of the committees actions may have been ill-advised, although it did not break any laws.
According to Ronald G. Thomson and Daniel B. Peterson, town committee Chairman James E. Parker and longtime member F. Sampie Sutton chose which candidate petitions would be presented to voters and also called the police on some candidates and their supporters for attending a publicly advertised local committee meeting in May.
Neither Mr. Parker nor Mr. Sutton returned several calls seeking comment since Wednesday.
Mr. Thomson is running for a seat on the Republican Committee, and Mr. Petersons wife, Shannon M., is running for town clerk.
In an email to the Times, Mr. Peterson said the committee is supposed to carry petitions for all candidates who had notified it of their intent to run without prejudice and leave it up to voters to decide whom to support.
But this year, the committee, at the direction of Mr. Parker and Mr. Sutton, helped gather signatures and file paperwork for certain people, Mr. Peterson said.
Jefferson County Republican Party Chairman Donald G.M. Coon III said, however, that there is no obligation on the part of the committee to carry all of the petitions.
Mr. Thomson, owner of several Alexandria Bay businesses, including Uncle Sam Boat Tours, said he held three informational sessions to help all Republican candidates file their paperwork in a timely manner.
Apparently, at least one committee member had taken offense and sent out a meeting notice for May 29 at the Plessis Fire Hall with a footnote at the end that reads, This is the official Republican Party not the Uncle Sam Tea Party.
When people showed up more than a dozen candidates and a couple of supporters for the May meeting, Mr. Parker abruptly declared the meeting a private function for committee members only, Mr. Peterson said.
The meeting notice, however, invites all candidates and others interested in helping with the petition process.
Mr. Sutton subsequently called police to have people removed and even made threats of violence to one of the people in attendance, Mr. Peterson said.
Mr. Thomson said one of the state troopers, upon reading the meeting notice and talking to people at the scene, declined to remove anyone from the crowd but offered to arrest the person who had threatened harm if the alleged victim wanted to press charges.
At that point, Chairman Parker decided to cancel the meeting, Mr. Peterson said.
It wasnt illegal but probably ill-advised to try to throw them out, Mr. Coon said.
Mr. Thomson said the local Republican committee is clearly broken and he is advocating for change.
He and Mr. Peterson had recently filed objections with the Jefferson County Board of Elections against five petitions, those of Alexandria Highway Superintendent David H. Bain, running for re-election, and Republican Committee candidates Mr. Sutton, William E. Elk, James R. Hagan and Timothy J. Honeywell.
All of their objections were upheld Tuesday and the petitions were removed for lack of sufficient signatures.

Whether you ride a chopper, a sport bike, a touring motorcycle or any other type of bike, you need a great seat. It provides comfort, sets your posture and largely defines your overall riding experience. When it comes to motorcycle seats, you can't go with something second rate. That's why for our selection of aftermarket seats, we've chosen to carry some of the finest options available. That means that you're going to recognize the big names here. Are Mustang motorcycle seats your preference? We have quite a number to choose from. Or do you prefer Saddlemen or Cobra? We have those too.
It's essential to find a seat that provides adequate support. Many are available with built-in (and sometimes removable) backrests. Others feature a comfortable ergonomic design. We even have a motorcycle gel seat or two that will be perfect for your bike. In many cases, you have the option to choose from either a solo seat or a passenger seat, so whether you like to bring along a partner or just go it alone, you'll be able to find what you need.
We've got seats for every major motorcycle manufacturer – Honda, Harley-Davidson®, Yamaha, Victory and many more. Enter your ride's make, model and year at the top of the page to discover exactly what's available to fit your machine.

I should have purchased this seat years ago. High quality and very comfortable. You will never want to use the stock seat again after using the Sargent Seat.Read All Reviews

Very low profile and good quality made seat. The seat pan is heavy duty and all the stitching appears good quality. Seat is compact and looks good, is not the most comfortable. Also I would prefer it to be a little taller, as it sits lower than my stock seat and I'm a taller rider, 6' 2".Read All Reviews

Installed this seat on 2004 Road Star. Matches the bike great, looks great and most important feels great! Tons better than the stock seat! Always been a fan of Mustang seats and this one has kept me a fan! Great quality and looks for a fair price!Read All Reviews

Seat fit perfect and I really liked the style of it. Passengers wont be happy on long rides, but for around town and short trips its ok.Read All Reviews
Walt in ON
Nice looking seat, but not what I expected. It is smaller than I though it would be and a little too narrow. Should have purchased the 17 incher. Will keep it and try it but only because the price was right.Read All Reviews

This Mustang seat is a big upgrade from the original stock seat on our Suzuki Volusia. Looks great, very stylish, and much more comfortable. Nice back support for the driver. The biggest advantage is for the passenger. Much more comfortable for them. You still get a little saddle sore, but twice the milage before you have to stop. Highly recommend.Read All Reviews
