Jayne Appel the key for Cardinal
Jayne Appel could only watch. As time wound down on Stanford's Elite Eight game — maybe on the Cardinal center's college career, too — Appel was on the bench. She had fouled out after scoring only eight points and playing just 18 minutes against Xavier.
She had become a spectator, a cheerleader, a helpless senior. "It felt horrible," Appel said. Stanford survived without her, thanks to a pair of blown layups by Xavier forward Dee Dee Jernigan and a buzzer-beating dash to the basket by Cardinal guard Jeanette Pohlen. But for the Cardinal to stay alive much longer — a national semifinal game against Oklahoma awaits Sunday at the Final Four — it needs Appel on the floor. "She is the key to our success," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said earlier in the NCAA Tournament. "Jayne makes other players look better, and that is a mark of a great player." For the past three seasons, Appel has been at the center of this Stanford team, literally as its starting post player and figuratively as its leader. With her, Stanford is a team that can compete with the Connecticut juggernaut. Without her, the Cardinal seems vulnerable. And there have been several occasions this season where Stanford has been without the 6-foot-4 Appel. She has been injured and sick, sidelined and hurt. In June, there was surgery to repair a meniscus ligament in her left knee.
FINAL FOUR NO. 3 OKLAHOMA VS. NO. 1 STANFORD→When: 6 p.m. Sunday →Where: Alamodome, San Antonio →TV: ESPN (Cox 29) →Radio: KOKC-AM 1520 →Tickets: All-session tickets are $175 for lower level, $100 for upper-level sideline and $75 for upper-level end zone, available at www.TicketMaster.com or (877) 622-2849.

After splitting from his recording company contract at Vibrarecords, Fabri goes underground and unheard from for a year, until he resurfaced with a new deal at major recording company Universal Music Italia and under the production of Fish and brother Nesli Fabri created his most commercially and artistically successful album, Tradimento . His first single, released in Europe 4 April 2006 was Applausi Per Fibra. The single covers personal and life experiences overcome by Fabri himself, not without a certain emphasis on self-praise, a technique more akin to U.S rap style but slowly spreading into Italian rap. Only a week after the official launch (6th June 2006) the album achieved an astonishing commercial popularity and success that allowed it to reach the number one spot in album sales. However it did not escape the criticisms for its use of expletives, indifference in approaching provocative themes and its misgoynist views of women, all of which were found across the album. However on television, the popularity of Applausi Per Fibra with a music video gains Fabri fame and success from fans and throughout the album plays on these sensationalist themes. Following the success of club style single Applausi Per Fibra the second more urban themed single Su Le Mani was released and then followed with the release of Mal Di Stomaco on the 28th August. Mal Di Stomaco gains instant infamy, most notably for the originality of its music video (a fabricated broadcast of SKY TG24 - a Satellite news station) that reports on the death of Fabri Fibra in a car accident. The authenticity is sealed with "live coverage" reports, interviews from famous stars such as Fernanda Lessa, Eva Henger, Jimmy Ghione, and rappers/producer Fish and brother Nesli. The video ends with Fabri's body disappearing from the morgue. His latest single is Idee Stupide with a black and white video which whilst not as original as the former video, uses a Rocky style montage that compliments Fabri's underdog lyrics.
Fabri Fibra's return has been announced on the Internet. The new album, "Bugiardo", came out on November 9th 2007, after the release of the street-single "Questo è il nuovo singolo (This is the new single)", which came out on October 5th. The first official single, "Bugiardo", came out on October 15th.

5 Ways to Control Your Anger
Anger is a normal and healthy emotion, but expressing it in a constructive way can be a challenge for some people. Everyone feels angry and acts in ways he or she regrets from time to time. But for some people, feelings of anger manifest as risky or out-of-control behaviors like recurrent, heated arguments with co-workers, family, and friends or as physical violence. For people like this, learning anger management skills can be life altering. Anger management generally refers to learning how to recognize when one is becoming angry and then taking action to deal with the situation in a healthy way. One of the most tried and true anger management techniques is to take a time-out from the situation. This could involve taking a physical break from the source of tension or it could mean simply counting to ten before responding to it. During this time-out, it can help to engage in relaxation techniques like breathing deeply from the diaphragm, perhaps counting to 3 during the inhale, holding the breath then, for a count of 3, and then exhaling to a count of 3. Many people also find it helps to repeat a soothing phrase, such as Take it easy, or slow down. Another great way to deal with anger is to find humor in a tense situation. For example, if you want to call someone a dirt bag, try instead, to literally picture them as a bag of dirt. The idea of a bag of dirt making rude phone calls or driving recklessly may just be ridiculous enough to help cool your anger. Or, you may find that putting yourself in anothers shoes helps you gain a different, more understanding perspective on the situation. Once you acknowledge your anger, it often helps to discuss it. When doing so, make a point to use I statements, which helps you avoid placing blame. For example, instead of saying: Youre always late! try saying, Im upset that youre late. Similarly, practice good listening skills, which can help improve communication and ease future tension between two people. And, remember that anger management is NOT ignoring or suppressing your feelings. Rather, its the ability to EXPRESS your anger in assertive, but mature and non-destructive ways. If, however, you feel that you cant control your emotions using these self-help steps or if your anger is negatively affecting your relationships seek help with a mental health professional!

I am having trouble believing this whole ordeal. Do you really think a doctor would be that stupid to risk his practice for that? Is it that important for some guys?
General Off-Topic Board / Re: Strangest gift you have ever received...« on: August 02, 2004, 07:12:45 PM »
Picture this...
It was valentine's day and my bf and I were about to exchange gifts. Along with purchasing some fun items, I also stayed up late the night before to bake hime some cookies. The moment arrived and I went first. When it was his turn, he went out to his vehicle and came back with the scariest contraption I had ever seen. After eyeing it dumbfoundedly for a couple of minutes, he finally explained what it was. It was a lower body suit for me to wear when I went rollerblading. Imagine... big pads for my inner and outer thighs along with butt pads. Gee that is just what I needed... more thickness for my thighs and butt. At the time I was so angry because he would laugh at me if I wore knee pads when I rollerbladed. Can you imagine the ridicule I would have to endure for wearing a massive padded lower body contraption.
Looking back, I should have gladly accepted it. I ended up cracking my tailbone on a curb fall a couple of weeks later. Ouch!
Usually I am not at all picky about gifts or lack of them. However, when I tried that crazy body suit on he laughed and laughed and laughed. Gee, I can't imagine why I would not want to keep something like that?!

O.K. just playing the Devil's advocate... Obviously the guy wearing the inappropriate shirt is a huge piece of crap. However, I wonder if the airlines have any sort of clause about inappropriate attire like most food establishments do. If not, I don't see how they can kick someone off a flight because someone is not particularly fond of a passengers shirt. Just throwing that out there.

It's strange the words you forget in your own language when living abroad. Usually my memory lapses only last for a minute, but there was one word that I could not remember for the past five months.
I knew it didn't really exist in France so I never bothered to search for it in the dictionary. I could have searched online or asked one of my American friends, like I did for multiprise. But instead I did nothing but try to remember.
Finally I attempted to explain what it was to David, knowing that he wouldn't really know anyway. But something strange happened. As I was describing it and complaining that I couldn't remember it for the past five months, it came to me.
Not the disease, the roofing material. But I have no idea why I was trying to remember that word in particular since I rarely have the habit of talking about roofing in English, much less in French (especially since shingles don't even exist in France!)

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Oil Review
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Oil ($27) is one of those simple and effective cleansing oils that does not have fragrance and is created with a natural oil-like ingredient from the Castor Bean Plan.
I'm always terribly surprised when folks, especially oily skin ones, shy away from cleansing oils. Believe me they really should be a stable in your makeup removal regime as they do an excellent job of completely eliminating makeup and no, they do NOT make your face oily! Makeup god's honest truth!
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Oil is a clear, lightweight cleansing oil that all skin types can use. Compared to other cleansing oils I own and use I'd call it quite thin and lighter in texture but still has an oily feel as you apply it. It rinses clean away and does not leave a film over my face after use. If anything at all in regards to the final finish after using the product I'd say my face was fairly balanced. I don't feel dry and tight after using it nor do I feel too hydrated, moist, or oily. My skin, simply feels like my skin after use and I like that. Too many formulas end up making me feel tight after rinsing or I feel like I have an odd film on my face after rinsing but this formula truly does well at rinses completely away and doesn't strip or add anything to my skin in the process of removing my makeup!
To use it, simply pump a few squirts into the palms of your hands and smooth it all over your dry face! No need to wet your face first. I love cleansing oils around my eyes because I don't feel like I'm tugging around these delicate area and they glide across my lids easily to remove my mascara and eye makeup. After massaging on you'll add a little bit of water to your face to emulsify the oil. It'll go milky white as it breaks down! After this simply rinse. Done! Your face makeup will break down and you'll be nice and squeaking clean. Some folks follow up after cleansing oil with a cleansing foam as well so that is an option should you like!
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Oil is quite nicely formulated and does an excellent job breaking down makeup! Just be warned it does give me trippy cloudy vision when used around my eyes! Cleansing oils are known to do this. If you want to avoid this you can always remove your eye makeup prior and don't use the oil around your eyes!
This is available now exclusively at Sephora and Sephora.com.

I want this!!! I love their Take the Day off for eyes and lips! Happy Dance!! Okay, really need to cut back on the caffeine!
8/6/14 23:32 Kimkats:
Hey Muse how do you like it compared to the DHC oil? That one is kinda my HG, but I like all the TTDO products I have tried – their eye makeup remover is my fave!!
8/7/14 1:32 Jenny:
Would you consider this one of your favorite cleansing oils love? Im just about done with the Garnier one I've been using and was thinking I might try something else. Would love your recommendation, thanks!
8/7/14 2:24 Maggie:
I always read your reviews before I buy a cleansing oil. This is next on my list.
8/7/14 8:01 Bonnie:
I have tried cleansing oils even though I have the oiliest face of anyone I know. They truly are very luxurious. I do like them a lot, and have paid way more than normal for oil cleansers because they do cost more, but the difference in how it feels washing your face with a typical cleanser vs washing with an oil cleanser is very clear: the oil feels like a spa treatment.
8/7/14 8:25 Celine:
How does this compare do you think to their balm? That is I feel a staple in my makeup removing.
8/8/14 10:08 Celine:
Oh, you should! The balm is actually an oil when rubbed on your face. It's also great at taking eye makeup off and you don't get that cloudy vision either. I feel very confident after using that balm that my makeup if off and then I follow with another cleanser.
8/7/14 10:31 Majick:
DHC Cleansing oil is the only one I've used that I like. I would consider trying this one but the "thinner" consistency makes me think I may waste it. Of the two, do you have a preference?
8/7/14 11:31 Lauren:
As an oily skinned girl with sensitive skin, anything with oil scares the bejeezus out of me. I am not only worried about oilier skin, but I worry that a cleansing oil will break me out. Often, products that are not oil free will cause huge cystic acne to develop. I don't want to take the chance of breakouts because it can take weeks to clear up and I'll be left with hyperpigmentation for months. I'm sure cleansing oils are great, but I'll stick with traditional cleansers!
8/8/14 10:10 Celine:
Interesting that you say break out cause I have very dry skin and rarely break out and when I started trying an oil cleanser I have been breaking out. Wonder if that's why?
8/11/14 6:14 guest:
In chemistry class they tell you, "like dissolves like" because oils dissolve oils, water based dissolves water based, etc, so based on that, I tried the Bobbi Brown cleansing oil. My skin is super oily but not blemish prone at all, so I thought the oil would dissolve my natural oils. I have to say it was not for me. The oil was really runny and therefore hard to use and it never left my skin feeling clean. I don't use super drying cleansers, so it wasn't a matter of me being used to my skin feeling tight and I thought that meant clean, it just never felt like I removed all my make up or that I started with a fresh canvas in the morning.
That being said, I haven't tried any other cleansing oils, so I am not an expert by any means. I'm just saying that as someone with ultra oily skin, the one I tried was not for me. Everyone's different though, so if it works for you or anyone else, then cheers to that
8/19/14 14:10 Sydney:
As the review said, this cleanser does not contain oil; it is an oil-like substance. I have sensitive skin and have broken out with other oil cleansers but not this one. I just wanted something that was water-soluble, which this one is. Hence, there is no residue with this product when rinsed with water.
8/7/14 18:06 Eli Caroline:
I am a recent convert to cleansing oils. My goodness, I love them. I am going to try this one soon. Right now, I'm using the Take the Day Off cleansing balm, and it's really good too.
8/8/14 0:34 Katie:
After reading your reviews on cleansing oils, I've been soo determined to try and get one. But it's hard to convince myself to spend a lot of money on them. I know there's a few drugstore options, but in your opinion are the higher end oils worth splurging for vs drugstore oils such as the Garnier?
8/9/14 22:26 heather:
i'm a big fan of the garnier cleansing oil even after trying a lot of high end ones. the only thing worth mentioning that you may not like is that it is heavenly fragranced.
8/8/14 11:35 Maria A:
Have you tried boscia rose cleansing gel? If so, which is better?
8/31/14 19:25 Anh:
I was thinking of doing Korean skincare regime which starts with an oil cleanser followed by a foaming cleanser, do you think this oil cleanser would fit this regime or would it be too harsh?
10/2/14 10:33 Amy O.:
Does this contain mineral oil?
7/15/15 1:43 anjelica ibrahim:
i have large pores, and I find this dries out my skin?

Places you can find a caterpillar
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
You'll need a caterpillar to complete number 38 on our list of 50 things to do before you're 11 ¾: bring up a butterfly. Butterfly caterpillars can be tricky to find so don't worry if your caterpillar is a moth caterpillar instead.
You can usually find caterpillars in wild gardens and meadows. Here are some of our favourite caterpillar-hunting grounds:
- There are lots of wildflowers and woodlands around the Penshaw Monument, County Durham, so this is likely to be a good spot for finding caterpillars.
- The Weir, in Herefordshire, has a very natural garden and is normally home to lots of caterpillars and butterflies.
- Purbeck, in Dorset, is home to lots of caterpillars in spring and summer, especially on the coast.
- Knightshayes, in Devon, have a wild meadow and kitchen garden which are both the perfect habitat for caterpillars. Please be careful where you tread in the meadow as this space is home to lots of plants and little creatures.
- Code-y-Bwnydd woodland is very near to Clytha House, in Monmouthshire, and is a great place to find caterpillars and other wildlife.
- In the walled garden at Beningbrough Hall, Yorkshire, there are lots of caterpillars and butterflies. If children are careful they are welcome to adopt a caterpillar from here.
From racing snails, to spotting an owl, we've loads more top tips and ideas for you. Sign up for the 50 things challenge.

Originally scheduled to air on MTV this past Saturday, the taping of Broadway musical Legally Blonde will now have its television premiere on October 13 at 1pm. Set your VCRs!
Monthly Archives: September 2007
Duran Duran To Play the Broadway Stage
With the rash of terrible jukebox musicals appearing all over Broadway the last few years, the mere mention of a popular band and Broadway in the same breath is enough to inspire fear in the hearts of many theater fans. However, when Duran Duran ("Hungry Like the Wolf," "Ordinary World") comes to Broadway this November, fortunately it will not be in the form of a musical. The British rockers are merely using Broadway's Barrymore Theatre as a concert venue to promote their new album, Red Carpet Massacre.
It's quite unusual for a band to play Broadway rather than one of the many concert halls in New York City, but lead singer Simon LeBon says "Staging a run on Broadway is something that we've often talked about over the years," and it seems that they've finally found an opportunity to do it. Duran Duran will play a series of gigs at the Barrymore from November 1 through 12. Tickets go onsale through Telecharge beginning October 1.
Casting for Broadway's Cry-Baby Announced
The casting for Broadway-bound musical Cry-Baby has been announced. The title role, played by Johnny Depp in the 1990 film on which the show is based, will be played by newcomer James Snyder. Harriet Harris (Thoroughly Modern Millie, TV's Frasier), Carly Jibson (Hairspray), Chester Gregory (Tarzan), and Christopher Hanke (In My Life) also star. The musical will open at La Jolla Playhouse in November for a run, and then hopefully come to Broadway soon after, but no date has yet been set.
Lone Star Love Cancels Broadway Production
Lone Star Love, the new musical that puts Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor in a Wild West setting, has canceled its Broadway engagement. The show, which stars film actor Randy Quaid, is currently playing at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle (through September 30) and was supposed to open on Broadway on December 3.
Broadway Flea Market Today!
Don't forget to drop in to Shubert Alley today to visit the Broadway Flea Market and Grand Auction, benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The event begins at 10AM, when the various Broadway shows and Broadway-related organizations set up their tables full of goods (old Playbills, props, CDs, theater merchandise, and you-name-it). The auction, which includes walk-on roles in Broadway shows, starts mid-afternoon. And throughout the day, television and Broadway celebrities will be signing autographs. The festivities end at 7PM.
A Hair-y Weekend in the Park
In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the landmark musical Hair, the Public Theater is presenting three free concert performances of the show at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. As with the Shakespeare in the Park shows, tickets for Hair are being passed out at 1pm in the afternoon (but be sure to get in line early!). The first performance was today, and the remaining shows are on the 23rd and 24th at 7pm. The talented cast is headed by Jonathan Groff, who is currently starring on Broadway in Spring Awakening.
Annette Bening Out of Female of the Species
Actress Annette Bening has withdrawn from the Broadway-bound play The Female of the Species. The Joanna Murray-Smith play is set to open at the Geffen Playhouse in February 2008 before hitting Broadway later in the Spring. No word yet on who will replace Bening.
Broadway-Bound Catered Affair Opens in San Diego
The new musical version of the 1956 film A Catered Affair, which is set to open on Broadway in March 2008, is starting previews in its pre-Broadway engagement at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego tonight. The musical has a book by Harvey Fierstein (who also stars), a score by John Bucchino, and direction from Tony-winner John Doyle.
Date Set For 2007 Tony Awards
The 62nd Annual Tony Awards show, which honors the best of Broadway each year, will be held on June 15, 2008 at Radio City Music Hall. As usual, the ceremony will be broadcast on CBS. With the Broadway season just now beginning, there isn't much buzz yet on which shows are most likely to be Tony contenders, but come Spring, the Broadway community will surely be engaging in heated debates over who will take home the statues.
Live From the Pink Carpet!
Today is the live taping of Legally Blonde, and MTV is rolling out the pink carpet for the event. Cast members from the MTV show "The Hills" will host, and there will be a pre-show event featuring other TV and tween celebs. Last week MTV gave out free tickets to fans of the bouncy Broadway musical, all of whom are 15-25 years of age and will be wearing pink (no, seriously!). This certainly ain't your grandma's Broadway!

St. Louis (KSDK) -- Mizzou football fans should be on the lookout for fake football tickets, according toUniversity of Missouri Police DepartmentCaptain Brian Weimer.
At the Georgia game last weekend, ticket scanners recorded more than 400 "missed scans," which could indicate fraudulent tickets.
Weimer recommends people only buy tickets through the Mizzou ticket office or online through mutigers.com. He suggests fans avoid online auction sites or buying tickets from strangers.

CHICAGO, January 16, 2007 – GTCR, one of the nation's leading private equity firms, announced today the closing of the sale of HSM Electronic Protection Services, Inc. ("HSM" or "the Company"), a leading provider of security monitoring services in the United States, to The Stanley Works ("Stanley") for $545 million. HSM provides design, installation, maintenance, and monitoring services for electronic security systems to commercial and residential customers. GTCR acquired HSM in 2004 from Honeywell International.
HSM marks the second highly successful partnership between GTCR and security industry veteran James Covert, who previously worked with GTCR to build Cambridge Protection Industries ("Cambridge"). Operating primarily through its SecurityLink brand, Cambridge provided electronic security services to more than one million customers. Cambridge was ultimately sold to ADT for approximately $1 billion in cash.
"HSM has been another rewarding experience with GTCR," said Covert. "We have achieved the goals we set when we acquired the business, and we believe Stanley represents a good home for the Company as it continues to evolve."
GTCR Principal Collin Roche added, "Partnering with leading executives to acquire and build businesses is the core of GTCR's investment strategy. In addition, we have a long history of success in corporate carve-out opportunities such as HSM and Cambridge, where we can add world class management like Jim Covert and his team to established operations."
Lehman Brothers provided financial advisory services to GTCR and HSM on the transaction, and Kirkland & Ellis provided legal advice.

Montana in the Fall is a unique experience
Fall is an exciting and wonderful time to visit the western states. Not only is it a peak time to see and photograph animals in the national parks, but the lodging and travel rates are advantageous.
One of the most interesting locations is southwest Montana. The location allows easy access to Yellowstone National Park, which is in part of Montana, but mostly in Wyoming. The park was established in 1872, and is one of our favorite spots to visit. The park covers more than 2 million acres (the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined). In addition to a variety of large and small mammals and fish, it has some of the most interesting landscape in the world.
The thermal features are unrivaled and Old Faithful geyser is one of the most visible of these. Yellowstone is home to approximately one-half of the world's hydrothermal features (10,000) and more than 300 geysers. Fall is a good time to visit the geysers, since the cold temperatures magnify the visibility as the steam condenses in the cold air. Steam vents, mud pots and hot springs are numerous and many have boardwalks, allowing easy access for viewers.
Three of the larger mammals are moose, bison and elk. Moose are solitary animals and are found in isolated areas near water. Much of their time is spent feeding on aquatic plants. They submerge their huge heads and lift them with long tendrils of succulent plants hanging from their mouth.
Bison are numerous throughout the year and the big herd bulls are enormous. They often challenge each other for the right to claim a herd of cows. They are an awesome sight as they paw the dust, snort and joust until one is vanquished. They mingle with the traffic on the narrow park roads and sometimes challenge vehicles for the right-of-way.
Elk are different in that the huge bulls are more secretive until the fall when breeding season draws them near the herds of cows. The magnificent bulls with 6 x 6 or larger antlers are majestic, and in contrast to the shyness of summer, seem to pose for photos.
In addition to these large animals, mule deer, pronghorn antelopes, coyotes, bald eagles and Canada geese are spotted throughout the park.
One must travel cautiously in the park (45 mph speed limit) and even outside the park to avoid collisions. As we traveled one day to Jackson Hole, Wyo., we took a side trip up Signal Mountain to view the Tetons. As we returned, down the winding switchbacks, a doe mule deer bolted down an embankment in front of the vehicle, and we made a sudden stop to avoid hitting her. Even on our trip to the airport in Bozeman, Mont., our shuttle van driver almost hit a group of mule deer as they crossed the road. He has been a resident in Bozeman for 35 years and, in mid-October, he had a moose visit his back yard.
On previous trips to Lamar Valley we have seen a grizzly bear on a bison kill with wolves trying to scavenge scraps as he jealously guarded his kill. On a day trip this time to Cooke City at the Northeast portion of the park, we had lunch at the Buns and Beds Barbeque and Deli. The Cooke City Club was great and the owner told us that a grizzly had been hanging around his yard for a week. He kept his beagle inside and it sounded the alarm each time the grizzly came near.
The town of West Yellowstone is a strategic location to use as a home base. It allows easy access to the park for animal viewing and photography and fishing opportunities on the Madison River, Gallatin River, Gibbon River and the Firehole River. The Firehole is unique because of the hot springs that feed into it. In the summer, it is too hot to be attractive to trout, but in the fall and winter, the warmer water brings an influx of trout and offers excellent fishing for small to average fish and the occasional trophy trout. The Madison has an infusion of lake run trout that come upriver from Hebgen Lake, northwest of West Yellowstone. These fish are large, but are difficult to catch.
West Yellowstone has four major fly fishing shops of national fame: Bud Lilly's Fly Shop, Madison River Outfitters, Blue Ribbon Fly Shop and Jacklyn's Fly Shop. In addition to retail sales, these shops do major catalog and Internet business. Ennis is another fly fishing center on the Madison River and is 71 miles northwest of West Yellowstone. They have two major fly shops (The Tackle Shop and Madison River Fishing Company). MRFC said that 60% of their business was catalog and internet oriented.
Bob Jacklyn had just returned from a fly casting competition in New York, judged by Joan Wulff. He took first place in the 50-foot accuracy competition and came in second in the distance casting. He said, " I had a great second cast of the two allowed distance casts until I stepped on my line." Jacklyn is a very friendly and genuine person and a legend in western fly fishing.
Lodging is discounted in the fall. We had a suite at Yellowstone Park Inn and Suites, with a sitting room, bedroom, refrigerator, microwave and bathroom for only $59 nightly. Gasoline is comparable or a little higher than home, and food costs are higher, but overall the savings at this time of year are significant. Some of the shops are closed, but a sufficient number are available for the happy shopper.
Restaurants offer a wide range of menus, with bison and elk readily available. If you fly into Bozeman, make it a point to eat at Tony Corino's Italian Restaurant. Their 16-layer lasagna is scrumptious. They have restaurants in three Montana locations and in Texas.
If you are a game hunter, fall seasons are open for deer, elk and small game. Out of state licenses are expensive, but hunter success rates are high, and the opportunity for a trophy of a lifetime exists. Grouse, Hungarian partridge, waterfowl and some pheasant hunting is available. Some of the outdoor shops offer fishing and hunting guides for all species of game.
Regardless of whether you are fisherman, hunter with firearms or camera or just looking for a beautiful place to visit and enjoy, you would have a hard time finding a more beautiful or interesting location.

Deadly tsunami hit Oregon 45 years ago
This is a press release courtesy the State of Oregon
Forty-five years ago today, a massive magnitude 9.2 subduction zone earthquake struck Alaska, unleashing a deadly tsunami that would ultimately claim 5 lives in Oregon and cause damage to coastal Pacific Northwest communities from northern California to British Columbia.
- WERE YOU THERE? Share your memories or share video/photos online
The Good Friday quake claimed 128 lives, most of those from the tsunami generated as the earthquake ruptured the ocean floor off the Alaskan coast. The tsunami, traveling at 500 miles an hour, reached the Oregon coast about 4 hours later where it destroyed cars and homes in Seaside, wrecked wharves, houses and the Elk Creek Bridge in Cannon Beach, tore out docks and smashed boats in Gold Beach and swept 4 children out to sea at Beverly Beach near Newport.
Because of the continuing threat from local and distant tsunamis, coastal communities in Oregon prepare, train, practice and drill year round in anticipation of another tsunami. Plus, every year Governor Kulongoski proclaims April as Earthquake and Tsunami Awareness Month and encourages all Oregonians, as in years past, to "review their family emergency plans and update their emergency kits."
As part of Earthquake and Tsunami Awareness Month, Oregon Emergency Management (OEM), the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), the NOAA National Weather Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency will be conducting tsunami preparedness workshops in seven south coast communities beginning April 4th in Brookings.
The Tsunami Roadshow workshops will feature experts on emergency preparedness, the science of tsunamis and how to make your community Tsunami Ready. Workshop participants will learn how the tsunami warning system works, the critical difference between a local and distant tsunami and the latest tsunami research being done at the coast.
Learn more about Tsunami Roadshow workshops on the DOGAMI Web site. Look for the Tsunami Roadshow workshops in these communities:

thanks for sharing this video.............. love the that you added the hand spanking
Not a bad spanking - but those jeans should have come down right from the start. And hand-spanking - meh.
Awesome! Bet Sarah didn't feel great anymore lol! Thank you both for sharing!
Why is Sarah not allowed to be spanked bare on camera? Also, is she your girlfriend? You two seem very close.
I'm going to start writing again as a tribute to all you guy's hot largesse.
Happily agreeing with the commercial : ) Audry I know from Dallas Spanks Hard and Pixie Amber in her own right. That's one of the things I expect to contribute to this site. I've been posting stories to alt.society.spanking and alt.sex.spanking since the mid-90s under various nom de plume. I've been too thoroughly enjoying this site to come around and dig those out of old hadrdrives I have sitting on my shelf. They were received to popular acclaim and criticism at the time. Some of them are in Spanish, which is loaded in it's own particular way. Thanks all y'guys for making this site happen! Even though I'm "straight" and a Top I'm enjoying all of these vids. Particularly the serious longer ones with all the action and little dialogue.
I need a girl like that to spank,,that was awesome,,,thanks
She must have an arse of steel - because that was one of the harder spankings I've seen him give - and um - wow. She took it very well. I love when she said she felt good - and it pissed him off - classic!!! Would never be me - but - this was a great video.
Man! He really wore her little back porch out--and she hardly made a sound. I'm impressed!

And I'm getting kind of sad!

Ellen von Unwerth, Guy Aroch, and Helena Christensen are three people we're accustomed to seeing behind the lens for fashion magazines photographing pretty young things. Drew Barrymore, on the other hand, is usually the one mugging for the camera. Not this time, though!
The pregnant, just-wed Barrymore shot fellow actress Rachel McAdams for one of the four covers of Vs. magazine's September issue (a magazine she herself covered back in 2009). We knew she was a multitalented kinda gal — let us not forget that Best Coast video she directed starring Chloë Moretz or her Shailene Woodley cover shoot earlier this year — but, being a September cover, this is probably her most high-profile lensing gig to date. While we're not blown away by the image, it's a solid effort, and it's not as if she was short on competitition from the high-impact pairing of von Unwerth and Coco Rocha or the haunting gaze of a Wild Things-style Liv Tyler.
What do you think? Do Barrymore's shutter skills measure up? Or should the actress consider sticking to her day job?

Last night, there were many a Fashion Week party. While we hung out at Prabal Gurung's Meatpacking shindig, others saw Odd Future perform at Alexander Wang's or went celeb spotting at the Purple party at Le Bain. But it was the Carine Roitfeld Barneys fete that has everyone talking. It all comes down to one word and one word only: KARAOKE.
Roitfeld entertained her guests at Westway, a former strip club near the West Side Highway. We knew the former editor loved karaoke, but we are beyond impressed that Roitfeld was able to get her fashionable friends to join in on the fun. The Cut's Bennett Marcus was there, and here is how he described what went down:
Roitfeld jumped on the runway — undoubtedly used by the strippers in the club's previous incarnation — to launch the karaoke with a gleeful rendition of George Michael's "Careless Whisper." Roitfeld's bravery loosened up the crowd and Simon Doonan followed, rocking "Nasty Girl." Stefano Tonchi joined Anna Dello Russo in a duet. (Actually, Dello Russo joined almost everybody on duets.)
Oh, don't worry. WE HAVE PICTURES. And then…Valentino and Giancarlo Giammetti arrived. And they sang "Unforgettable" and "My Way". Oh, don't worry. WE HAVE VIDEO. Thank you to the Billy Farrell Agency for capturing this amazing moment on film:

Big Data Implications for the Production of Official Statistics
Unless you live completely off the grid, you likely have heard of, and contribute to, "big data," the often-used catch phrase describing massive (and ever-increasing) volumes of information stored digitally on computers, servers and clouds.
From advertisers using data mined from customer interactions; to government agencies making data public so developers can create beneficial mobile apps; to farmers applying statistical data to determine their production and marketing practices, a wide-variety of people and industries use big data.

A.J.P. Taylor wrote this in 1970:
Until August 1914 a sensible, law-abiding Englishman could pass through life and hardly notice the existence of the state, beyond the post office and the policeman. He could live where he liked and as he liked. He had no official number or identity card. He could travel abroad or leave his country for ever without a passport or any sort of official permission. He could exchange his money for any other currency without restriction or limit. He could buy goods from any country in the world on the same terms as he bought goods at home. For that matter, a foreigner could spend his life in this country without permit and without informing the police. Unlike the countries of the European continent, the state did not require its citizens to perform military service. An Englishman could enlist, if he chose, in the regular army, the navy, or the territorials. He could also ignore, if he chose, the demands of national defence. Substantial householders were occasionally called on for jury service. Otherwise, only those helped the state who wished to do so. The Englishman paid taxes on a modest scale: nearly £200 million in 1913–14, or rather less than 8 per cent. of the national income. … broadly speaking, the state acted only to help those who could not help themselves. It left the adult citizen alone.
Is there anywhere in the world today so free?
Hat-tip to Daniel Pipes.

I'd be interested to know what my Greek friends think of Napoleon Linardato's take on the Greek economic situation. It certainly seems very unhealthy for one in four workers to be State employees.
Thanks to Mom for forwarding this clip of a submarine rescuing airmen some seventy miles off the coast of Japan. Neat seeing it in colour too.
This is abso-frickin-lutely
insane: a
woman in Texas was convicted of a felony for spanking her daughter.
She didn't use a belt. She wasn't (apparently, from
anything I've read on the case) beating the girl; she just spanked
her. Judge Jose Longoria told her,
you don't spank children
today, and sentenced her to five years of probation. As it's
a felony, she'll never be permitted to vote or own a firearm
It's conceivable of course that she really did overstep the bounds, but I doubt it: from the facts as reported in multiple sources, I suspect this whole thing was really a ploy for her ex's mother to get the kids. Well, the grandmother has them now, and the mother's life is ruined.
I wonder if the judge has kids, and if so exactly how rotten they are.
No, Judge Longoria, one does spank a child today, if he or she needs it.
I just discovered this wonderful Who's Who of Isaac Asimov's Foundation and Robots series. Very good to have on hand if you, like me, discovered Asimov at an impressionable age and devoured every single thing you could get your hands on.

Jeffrey Goldberg marks this Fathers' Day with a story about Thomas Woude, a man who died saving his son. I've no doubt that my own father would have done the same for us—fortunately, it has never come to that.
I just discovered Lightweight Portable Security a Linux distribution released by the US Air Force. The idea is that it's a system which boots from a CD or flash drive and works entirely in volatile memory—thus any malware is unable to survive a reboot.
They even have an LPS-Remote Access which is the only way to access government systems without government-furnished equipment. That's pretty cool!
It's a nifty idea, particularly for folks who have to travel and use unknown hardware a lot. Of course, a true paranoid would develop his own version of LPS, not use one from the Air Force.
Well, today marks a centuury since International Business Machines was founded. I know we employees like to complain a lot, but it really is an amazing company—and has paid my wages for over a decade. Here's to another hundred!
One of the few things I miss about Fedora when using Ubuntu and related GNU/Linux distributions is the ease of setting up fairly complex disk partitioning schemes. I'm a big believer in disk mirroring (to protect against hard drive failure) and in encryption (to protect against data loss due to hardware theft), and Ubuntu requires use of an alternate, text-based installer while Linux Mint doesn't even do that much.
Fortunately, this is Linux, which means I have all the tools I need to get this to work. Many thanks to this guide from 2008, which provided the base instructions.
Note that I do not set up software RAID (mirroring) in this case, as these instructions are for a laptop. If you want mirroring, my advice is to build two partitions on each mirror, one for /boot and one for the mirror volume, then build an encrypted volume atop the mirrored volume; add that encrypted volume to a volume group; and finally build logical volumes in that volume group.
A note about naming: throughout these instructions I refer to rootvg as the root volume group. This is fine for small installations; however, if you ever move disks between computers that also have their own group called rootvg, this causes trouble (generally, failure to recognise the new physical and logical volumes). For that reason, in practice I usually name my volume group with some unique name, perhaps related to the hostname.
cryptpv /dev/sda5 none luks
/dev/mapper/rootvg-swaplv none swap 0 0
dm_mod dm_crypt sha256_generic æs-i586
After following these instructions, you should have a fully-encrypted root volume running Linux Mint.
A star in the constellation Scorpio has been named after Saint Afanasy of Kovrov, who was persecuted under the Soviet union. I think naming objects after great heroes—whether of the Church, of the State or of the Academy—is a splendid idea.
Babbage, over at The Economist, explains why mobile phones can't cause cancer. It's a basic principle, really: they simply don't emit enough energy to produce free radicals.
Granted, it could be that wearing them causes shifts in how one moves, and that might conceivably cause certain health issues like osteoporosis. But that would apply equally to other things one wears (like pistols or purses). And of course it's not cancer.
In today's edition of The World is Doomed, we review a case wherein cops who claim children under ten years are only allowed in their parents' yard.
Now, this is on the face of it absurd. Almost exactly four years ago I mentioned a story about children losing the right to roam which featured a great-grandfather who would walk six miles to go fishing. There's nothing at all wrong with that! In fact, given the very large number of Americans who are morbidly obese, maybe more six-year-olds should be playing outside their parents' lawns.
Regardless, if parents wish to allow their kids to run free (and of course assume responsibility for any misbehaviour those kids get up to), that's the parents' right. Neither the State nor its agents have any business intruding a nose where it's not wanted.
It's an open secret that the position-filling business is badly broken. The employer doesn't have any real confidence that the selected candidate is a good fit; the employee doesn't have any real confidence that the selected employer is a good fit; instead the employee assuages the employer with a thesaurus-generated resumé and the employer assuages the employee with money. This is just dumb.
Jason Freedman suggests an alternative that just could work: being on potential hires as short-term contractors. Both parties can then get some experience working with one another and see if the position is a good fit. And if it's not, the psychological cost of severing the relationship is much lower than even with probationary periods.
It's probable that HR departments would have to refashion themselves to do this, especially in larger corporations, but that's their job.
I wonder if anyone can think of downsides of this idea. The only one which comes to my mind is that current law assumes too much about people being long-term employees (e.g. with the way health insurance is taxed). But that can be changed, and probably should anyway.
Caught a reference to this on a blog today:
My Love is of a birth as rare
As 'tis, for object, strange and high;
It was begotten by Despair,
Upon Impossibility.
Magnanimous Despair alone
Could show me so divine a thing,
Where feeble hope could ne'er have flown,
But vainly flapped its tinsel wing.
And yet I quickly might arrive
Where my extended soul is fixed;
But Fate does iron wedges drive,
And always crowds itself betwixt.
For Fate with jealous eye does see
Two perfect loves, nor lets them close;
Their union would her ruin be,
And her tyrannic power depose.
And therefore her decrees of steel
Us as the distant poles have placed,
[Though Love's whole world on us doth wheel],
Not by themselves to be embraced,
Unless the giddy heaven fall,
And earth some new convulsion tear.
And, us to join, the world should all
Be cramp'd into a planisphere.
As lines, so love's oblique, may well
Themselves in every angle greet:
But ours, so truly parallel,
Though infinite, can never meet.
Therefore the love which us doth bind,
But Fate so enviously debars,
Is the conjunction of the mind,
And opposition of the stars.
—Andrew Marvell, 1892
I particularly like the seventh stanza.
As part of my ongoing series covering the imminent death of Western
civilisation, I bring you the
chemistry set. I think this is the inevitable
result of a few of the trends in our society, partly the War on Some
Drugs but also the infantilisation of childhood.
Guess what, parents—your kids won't grow up if you
don't let them! When I was a boy Mom & Dad bought us these
great chemistry sets with all sorts of poisonous and caustic chemicals,
and yet we didn't kill ourselves or anyone else (no, not even with
the cobalt or the cyanide). And I was playing with that stuff at the
age of 8 or maybe even younger. By the time one is 10, one is
definitely old enough to use real, potentially nasty chemicals—or
suffer the consequences. But this set is absurd. Growing crystals is
for kindergarteners;
slime and gook and bubbles are
for toddlers.
Worried about your kids hurting themselves? Here's a radical idea: supervise them! Or here's another radical idea: tell them what not to do, and why not to do it, and expect to be obeyed. If they've not learnt obedience by the age of ten, their lives are in for some pain anyway.
We are doomed, all of us: doomed.
Max Barry speaketh truth:
The difference between people and human resources is that people have brains. People don't need a company policy on how to ascend stairs (stay left, hold the handrail at all times, look straight ahead). People can figure that out for themselves. Human resources, on the other hand, are dumb as a box of hammers. They need everything spelled out.
Human resources are basically office equipment with legs. They're talking furniture.
No company which treats its employees as human resources can innovate: innovation is the product of men, not of resources.
I am a free man, not a human resource!
Every one of us is created and fashioned in the image of God, and every one of us in like a damaged icon.
But consider this: if we were given an icon damaged by time, damaged by circumstances, or desecrated by human hatred, we would treat it with reverence, with tenderness, with broken-heartedness. We would not pay attention primarily to the fact that it was damaged, but to the tragedy of its being damaged. We would concentrate on what is left of its beauty, and not on what is lost of its beauty.
And this is what we must learn to do with regard to each person as an individual, but also—and this is not always easy—with regard to groups of people, whether it be a parish, or a denomination, or a nation. We must learn to look, and to look until we have seen the underlying beauty of the person or of a group of people. Only then can we even begin to do something to call out all the beauty that is there.
Listen to other people, and whenever you discern something, which sounds true, which is a revelation of harmony and beauty, emphasize it and help it to flower. Strengthen it and encourage it to live.
—Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom), of blessed memory
From the wife of a Seabee, here's a (quite serious, not funny) things one shouldn't say to a military wife. Spare a thought for these married single moms who have to move every few years and put up with stresses most (but not, of course, all) can't even imagine.

Back in the Bad Old Days, it was the custom in India to burn widows alive. Eventually the British conquered the subcontinent and outlawed the practise. When a delegation of Hindus took General Sir Charles Napier to task for this interference, he replied with these immortal words:
You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows.You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.
That's my kind of multiculturalism!
I found this illuminating graphic of how long the net worth of various people could power the federal government's borrowing. If we confiscated every last penny of Bill Gates's fortune (not his income—his fortune), it would only finance 12 days and 8 hours of borrowing. If we were to confiscate the fortunes of the 400 richest people in the country, it wouldn't even cover a year of what we're borrowing.

Mark Bittman (one of my favourite cooking authors; his How to Cook Everything is superb) recently had a really useful article on simple, customisable soups. Starting from four basic recipes (a creamy spinach soup, a simple broth with toast, an earthy bean soup, and a hearty minestrone) he proceeds to offer two additional variations on each, for a total of twelve different soups. Over the past few weeks I've been making the ones that sound good (no tomato soup, natch) for myself & my kid brother.
The curried cauliflower and squash-and-ginger soups are top-notch, as good as anything one might find in a restaurant. I made the spinach soup with lettuce; it was delicious, almost minty, the night I made it and loathsome the next day. I've also made a broccoli and ginger soup, which was tasty. I need to experiment more with blended soups: I really, really like them.
His broth recipe is thick and good; I'm going to have to use a variant of it in my future bone stocks. The egg drop soup was tasty, but I agitated the soup too much and the egg drops became more of an egg foam. The rice-and-pea soup was good but perhaps a bit too thick. I might try it again with less rice, or a different kind of rice.
The bean and black bean soups are good. I'm going to do more cooking with dried beans: they're cheaper than canned, and have less sodium. The problem with the chickpea soup is that even soaked overnight, dried chickpeas take forever to cook. I'll have to play with it some more.
I haven't tried the minestrone or mushroom soups yet. I may make the former tonight. As for the latter, neither of us is a great fan of mushrooms, but perhaps with non-button varieties it could be palatable.
One nice thing about these recipes is that, having made them all, one should never again be at a loss for something to throw together at the last minute for dinner.
Here's a nifty bit of history: in 1929 USS Lexington was used to power Tacoma, Wash. for thirty days. How cool is that?
The Chicago Tribute has a great article about a school where the lunches are good-tasting and good for the students. The students are mostly (93%) low-income, so the chef must rely on the federal $2.73/student subsidy to cover costs. He manages to do so and actually save money, by hiring skilled people to cook fresh ingredients from scratch rather than hiring unskilled workers to reheat prepackaged, processed foods.
The Chicago public school system awards a single food-service
contract to cover all of its schools, leaving students with the
dubious pleasure of a
fish taco composed of a tortilla and a
few fishsticks; Chef Boundas works at a private school, which frees
him to prepare meals such as
white [fish] fillets…in a crunchy
panko-cornmeal crust or baked in olive oil, lemon and herbs, with
collard-flecked teriyaki brown rice, olive oil roasted potatoes,
steamed broccoli and freshly squeezed lemonade.
It occurs to me that this model of doing things from scratch with skilled people rather than hiring the unskilled to roll out products purchased from vendors might be applicable in more than school kitchens. Perhaps in Information Technology or home-building…

Last year about this time I had the honour of touring USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7). Off the galley there's a small room with some historical items relating to the battle of Iwo Jima, including a memorial with the names of the 6,822 killed taking the island—including my dad's uncle Robert Victor. I was lucky enough to be able to return later and snap a picture:
It was almost exactly 65 years since the day he died, 14 March 1945. According to my grandfather, Great-uncle Robert Victor had previously parachuted with the assault group onto Vella Lavella in 1943; we still have one of his silk parachutes. If I remember the story from when I was a boy correctly, he rallied his men and led a charge on a machine gun nest or pillbox, which is how he was killed. He was awarded a Silver Star posthumously. Just one story in about almost half a million.
It was a real privilege to see his name there. May his memory be eternal.
I recently read an amazingly insightful comment on Slashdot regarding leadership:
Everyone wants to be called aleader.Even when the situation requires a competent clerk.
- Leaders will lead you into new fields.
- Managers will make manage the people, equipment and time to achieve the goals of the leader (or the manager above them).
- Clerks process the paperwork needed to acquire the people and equipment requested by the managers.
- And then you have the individuals (akathe talent).
A task that requires a competent clerk will be a complete mess when handled by a competent leader with a deficiency in clerk skills.
On the other hand, an extremely capable clerk can perform almost as well as a competent manager.
Too often, corporations claimleadershipby trying to manage through emphasizing paperwork (clerk skills) and records.
This is so, so true. And among the sad things about it is that a good manager or leader may be a competent clerk, but selecting for that skillset excludes potentially great managers and leaders. Likewise for management: a good leader may be a good manager, but he doesn't have to be.
When we select for clerks, what we get…are clerks. Which is fine for a clerical position. It's not so good when one wants a manager or a leader.
There are no more known American veterans of the Great War: Frank Buckles, sometime corporal in the United States Army, has passed away. My dad has told us how when he was a boy World War One veterans were grandparents; I have in my possession a picture of my great-grandfather (an artillery officer in that conflict) with my grandfather, dad & me when I was roughly a year old. And now there are none left at all.
Makes one wonder how long until the last WWII vet passes away—and that was practically yesterday!
Levs meditates
on the experience of (accidentally) delivering his son. My only
real critique of the piece—moving as it is—is that
it's awfully self-centered: unless I missed something, neither his

the entire piece is
Daddy. That's a bit unfortunate in a

Absolutely disgusting and abhorrent: a London museum removed the cigar from Winston Churchill's mouth. What sort of perverse historian thinks this is appropriate?
I think the text of the President's speech tonight (not up at the White House yet, hence the news link) was excellent. It struck exactly the right notes and was eminently presidential; it was fitting for both the head of government and the head of state.

Colonel William Bower passed away today. He had flown Fickle Finger of Fate in Doolittle's Raid and was the last surviving pilot therefrom (only five from the crews are now left). Not enough folks remember the raid today: less than six months after Pearl Harbor, USS Hornet and the Army Air Forces took the war home to the enemy, striking ten targets in Tokyo, two in Yokohama and one each in Kobe, Nagoya, Osaka and Yokosuka.
Unable to land their bombers on the carriers, the crew knew it was a one-way mission; their goal was to land in a friendly base in China, but due to the friction of war they were unable to do so, instead bailing out in Japanese-controlled territory and helped by friendly Chinese to safety. The Japanese murdered approximately 250,000 civilians in retaliation for that assistance.
Although the raid wasn't materially significant, it served a valuable psychological purpose, putting the Japanese on notice that they were not invulnerable. Less than two months later we won the Battle of Midway and Japanese had lost the war: the next three years were spent explaining the fact in precise detail.
Col. Bower was an honest-to-goodness hero. May his memory be eternal!
2,059 years ago today (if I got the year difference
right…) Julius
Cæsar crossed the Rubicon and started the Roman Civil War.
Under Roman Law, an appointed general from the provinces was forbidden
to exercise power within Italy (only elected magistrates were allowed to
do so); it was in fact a capital crime to do so, or to obey orders thus
given. By leading his army across the Rubicon which marked the
northernmost Italian border, Cæsar and all his soldiers
irrevocably became outlaws under Republican Roman law; they had passed
the point of no return. As he noted at the time,
the die is
As it turns out, this worked out well for him and them, and rather poorly for the Republic. The city which once cast out its king now found itself with an emperor.
Byron York notes that officialdom and the commentariat that called for caution after the Ft. Hood murder spree leapt to unwarranted conclusion regarding the recent Arizona shootings. The same folks who couldn't find it within themselves to blame radical Islamism for the actions of a radical Islamist have no problem blaming the Right for the actions of someone who is apparently about as far from the right wing as is possible to be.
What's particularly annoying to me are the folks who keep calling, now, for civility in politics, despite two inconvenient facts: first, that this murder appears to have nothing to do with politics; second, that (to my knowledge) not one of them complained when it was the Left openly advocating violence and assassination. What's sauce for the goose is apparently not sauce for the gander.
Regarding the topic of strident language directed at one's opponents, I can't see how it will be avoided. It seems like a basic part of human nature, for good or for ill.
This may ruin your day, or even week: ærial photographs of Floridan housing developments. What was beautiful rolling land, shaped by the hand of God, is now rolled flat and constrained by straight strets; where once the paths might have followed the natural curve of the land, now the developer cuts a road along a line. Instead of homes laid out in a reasonable fashion, it's row after row of identical buildings. Instead of walkable neighbourhoods in which one can live, all there are, are residences connecting to the street. It's a monument to the car.
I remember that great moment in Prince Caspian when the river cast off the bridge which had enslaved it. Florida could use Aslan and Silenus…

The LEIBINGER JET3pi is used for marking dark substrates with light colored ink. The inkjet printer works with pigmented inks, also known as opaque inks (due to the high opacity). Paul LEIBINGER is one of the few manufacturers specializing in pigmented inkjet printers. The printers come equipped with a one-of-a-kind hydraulic system and guarantee maximum reliability when printing with light colors such as white ink.
The JET3pi is ideal for marking and coding applications in which a strong contrast is to be created between the imprint and a product with a darker substrate. Examples include black cables, pipes, wires, automotive parts or brown beer bottles that have to be marked in white for clearer legibility. White and other light-colored inks, as well as dark inks with high opacity, contain pigments and cannot be used in standard printers as a result. The pigments they contain also make the inks particularly UV-resistant.
A special combination consisting of the hydraulic system, the "Sealtronic" system and the stirring device in the JET3pi ensures that the pigmented inks do not settle, making them ready to use at all times. During breaks in production, an automatic timer ensures that the agitator stirs the opaque inks regularly—even when the printer is switched off. The automated "Sealtronic" nozzle seal ensures that the nozzle is sealed airtight, allowing ink to be circulated through the entire system. The ink tanks of the LEIBINGER JET3pi have a new design, increasing the efficiency of the technology for pigmented inks.
The low-maintenance hydraulics concept ensures that the LEIBINGER JET3pi pigmented inkjet printers do not require costly external compressed air to generate the ink pressure, nor do they need maintenance-intensive gear-wheel pumps. This eliminates the possibility of contaminating the pigmented ink using compressed air (water, oil, rust) and avoids unwanted heating of the ink by gear-wheel pumps.
Pigmented ink colors:
White, black, yellow, orange, blue, silver-grey
The JET3pi is also available in IP65 protection class protecting against jets of water. The dustproof and waterproof solution, which also works with pigmented inks, is a combination of the LEIBINGER JET3pi and JET3pro printers. For more information, use the direct contact or contact form to the left.
Additional information about the advantages of the JET3 series can be found here.

In case you missed it….
Former Giant LB Carl Banks says he never took a painkilling shot during his 12-year NFL career (Myers) "I never took a shot as a professional athlete ever," he said. "The time I played, I know for a fact that our training staff with the Giants wasn't big on shooting guys up. I don't think the Giants staff was reckless in that regard, randomly handing out painkillers."
QB Ryan Nassib may have to win the primary backup job to make the Giants' roster. (Graziano) From Rotoworld: The Giants only like to keep two quarterbacks, so Nassib will have to hold off Curtis Painter and Josh Freeman. If he loses out, Nassib isn't going to be worth keeping as a developmental third-stringer. Nassib struggled in three preseason games last year and needs to perform well in training camp to avoid getting cut.
Free agent TE Jermichael Finley (neck) said he had "awesome news" this week only experience another "minor setback." (Demovsky)
