How many 60-year careers in anything you know about? Huh? Much less a performing career, especially one that stayed substantial and interesting to the very end.
Ernest Borgnine first appeared on my radar as the star of the "Bilko of the Navy" TV sitcom "McHale's Navy" (both Pacific and European theaters).
But as I began to work through the great films, I was surprised to find Borgnine in so many of them. Try this list: "From Here to Eternity,"
|Borgnine as Fatso Judson, the sadistic prison chief, in "From Here to Eternity."
"Vera Cruz," "Bad Day at Black Rock,"
of course "Marty," for which he won an Oscar;
the original "Flight of the Phoenix,"
"The Dirty Dozen,"
"Ice Station Zebra," "The Wild Bunch,"
"Escape from New York." And some howlers, of course -- "Willard," "The Devil's Rain," "The Poseidon Adventure." A disciplined professional, he elevated even TV movies such as "Legend in Granite," a biography of Vince Lombardi, and the wily Katz in "All Quiet on the Western Front."
|"All Quiet in the Western Front," 1979.
203 credits worth of pure Borgnine pleasure. Thanks, Ernie.

I love these boots!
"So I purchased these snow boots by reading the reviews on DWS, since I didn't see them at the store. They are extremely comfortable and I've gotten lots of compliments when I wear them to work. I highly recommend them."

Stylish warm boot
"I bought these at the store, and had no idea about the Pajar brand. I looked them up online to learn more about them, and what a coincidence that they are from Canada as we are taking a trip up to Canada! That's why I needed boots, for the cold winter up there. They are perfect! Very warm, comfortable, completely adjustable, and they look cute, not clunky. The only thing is that I feel they are a half size too big, even with thick socks, but I bought them anyway, because they were the last pair left in the store. I usually wear a size 10, and the 9.5 would've probably been a better fit, but I like them so much that I will make do! I bought the charcoal grey. DSW, please bring back more sizes and colors!"

Great boot
"I love the look of the boot. Wore on first snow day @ 22degrees. Boots kept my feet toastie while outside and not overly hot while I worked indoors, a 7 hour shift. My only surprise is that they run a bit long which is unusual for my size 10. I've been a 10 for over 30 years and NO brand is ever a 9 or 9.5. I'm always a 10 or wish some brands came in a 10.5. This boot fits a bit loose in length but I'm not going to risk returning for smaller size and then they are to tight. Think I'll just buy some insoles to make them a bit more snug. I no longer care if my feet look big/long :-) Just want warmth and comfort at a price I can afford."

Internet acronyms can be a little annoying and childish...oh wait, BRB, B/C OTPHJ FTW! Just FYI. To put a different kind of abbreviated spice in your life, hit OMG Taco, opening Friday.
From a former San Diego food truck owner, OMG (an acronym for "Oh MmM GoGi", of course) is a Korean taco jib with a bubble-shaped neon-lit lounge and an adjacent counter area with street-centric trimmings including a mock food truck built into the kitchen, plus a mural with a mermaid and tags by local graf artists Ser2, Poest, and Perve, so bring your sister, cause he's like the nicest guy ever. Tacos're served with Monterey jack & mild cheddar, and include chicken or short rib w/ house soy sauce, spicy pork w/ sweet chili paste & garlic, and SD-style beer-battered fish; burritos are similarly stuffed, and can be topped off with mixes like "OMFG", with cilantro, green onions, roasted sesame seeds, caramelized kimchee, and a mayo base, which's where Storm "Really Big" Shadow hangs out when the rest of the Cobras are out being less fat. Aside from cocktails you can get drinky via glasses, bottles, or flights of Korean rice wine in flavors like natural, red, plum, and Soju, while for beers there're six taps (Fat Tire, Leinenkugel's), plus 20 bottles including Belhaven Scottish, Belgium's Leffe, and Korean lager Hite, which sadly is only guaranteed to add to your width.
They'll also have chef's specials that change weekly, plus buyable canvas art rotated every 30 days from respected local tagsters like Totem, who, BTW, def should've been called Totes. SMH.

Some people asked for a review on these pedals. So here's the lowdown.
Eastern Bikes Aluminum Pedals
Sealed bearings(Non sealed are available)
10 pegs on each side of pedal(40 total between both pedals)
Chromoly Spindles
Available in multiple colors(Ones tested were in gold anodized, looks more like bronze though.)
Cheaper than alot of the other makes in the market.
After the past month of abusing them really hard, no play at all with the spindles and pedal bodies. The pedals provide a really good stable feel when carving turns or in the air. These pedals grip very well, any shoe works good on it, even tried tennis shoes on them and had good grip, best type of shoe to use on them though is a gum soled skate/bmx shoe(510's, Globes, DC's, etc.) Was very grippy mentioned? The only complaints to date is that if you break a pin, they are a little bit of a pain to replace(The pins come out hard) and that the finish comes off really easily(But who cares about that though in the end they will wind up looking all beat up anyways.)
Overall these pedals are a very good for the price, will probably stick to these for future builds. Long term to follow.
Ok, now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Comment Re:The Million Dollar Question (Score 1) 56
No. Despite the apparent similarities (ball, bat, runs, etc.) cricket and baseball are very different games.
In baseball, there will be (at least) nine innings, each of which last until 3 outs. It's a competition between pitcher and batter that little can interrupt. I don't think many baseball fans realise that cricket is much more to about about managing resources than a gladiatorial contest.
So, for example, in a 5-day match every ball you decide to face is one less opportunity for you to dismiss the opposition, and if you don't do that (twice) you can't win the game, this is why a draw is a valid result. And why, if you think cricket works like baseball, it can't make sense.

Material Manufacturer
Scientists at Xerox Corporation are conducting advanced research into micro-opto-electromechanical systems (MOEMS), or microscopic machines on a chip, to find ways of using the devices to boost performance, speed and cost-efficiency of Xerox products. A futuristic vision for decades, MEMS is now emerging from the shadow of microelectronics to be a field all its own. Xerox, which has spent the last several years miniaturizing its functionality into smaller and smaller spaces, is an industry leader in advancing the development of silicon-based MEMS.
The new optical switch technology builds on a broadly enabling MOEMS fabrication platform developed under a grant provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in its Advanced Technology Program. Xerox is the lead partner in the Optical MEMS Manufacturing Consortium. Other partners include Palo Alto Research Center, a subsidiary of Xerox; Corning IntelliSense, a MEMS foundry and software company; Microscan, a data acquisition firm; and Coventor, a MEMS software company. They are tasked with developing a manufacturing process for Optical MEMS, which can be used broadly.
In addition, Xerox is a founding partner in New York State's recently announced Center for Excellence in Microsystems and Photonics, an advanced research and manufacturing facility that will help speed the transformation of this research into reality.
At Xerox, MEMS research began in 1993 and Optical MEMS in 1998. Using Optical MEMS, Xerox is working to improve color image quality during the color reproduction process. Optical MEMS devices could eventually eliminate the need for high-cost precision manufacturing of components that stabilize movement in Xerox photoreceptor belts.
For the first time, Xerox researchers have developed, on a single silicon chip, technology that could help route high-capacity fiber optics "the last mile" to small businesses and homes. The technology is drastically smaller and much cheaper than devices currently in use. The Optical MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) switch is integrated with light circuits to route fiber optic signals.

Countdown to ISME 2016
|Glenn E. Nierman
United States of America
ISME faces some enormous challenges in the decade ahead. Philosophically, our profession continues to struggle worldwide for music to be recognized as a subject that should be known and practiced by all people. Numbers and letters are not the only mediums of knowing; music enables us to know ourselves. Many countries have experienced a loss of instructional time for music in the curriculum; decreasing the chances that music teachers will experience a most cherished rewards - a child's excitement when realizing musical growth! Challenges may be viewed as opportunities, however. If elected, I would contribute to the continuing ISME vision of "promoting music education for people of all ages . . . throughout the world." Building a worldwide community of music educators should be ISME's primary goal for the future. Together we can make the vision of enhancing the quality of life through music a reality for all people!
Dr Glenn E. Nierman (BM, Washburn, 1972; MM, Cincinnati, 1977; DME, Cincinnati, 1979) is currently Steinhart Professor and Associate Director of the School of Music at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he teaches graduate classes in research, as well as a non-major popular music guitar class. He has authored numerous journal articles; made presentations at the National Association for Music Education (NAfME, formerly MENC) conferences in the United States; and given addresses at the World Congresses of ISME in every biennium since 1986 (except 1988, 1992 & 2002). He is a past chair of the ISME Music in Schools and Teacher Education Commission, and he is currently completing his first term on the ISME Board of Directors. Glenn is currently President-Elect of his country's National Association for Music Education. Honors include recognition for Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching (1987) and receipt of the Steinhart Endowed Professorship (1998-present)..

With a name like The Joint, I was excited and expectations were high. The restaurant is located in Bywater and on the outside isn't very fancy, and the inside isn't fancy either, but its a barbeque joint and with fun decor and picnic tables as seating, you feel relaxed eating there and hanging out for a little while.
In any case, the food was gone with the wind fabulous! My mom was in town and we both ended up having the Pulled Pork since the Chicken she really wanted was out. The pork was deliciously smoked and tender. In three words - slow roasted, seasoned and savory! The sauce came on the side; there was 3 options. For my sides I had the Mac & Cheese and Coleslaw. The Mac & Cheese was good and so was the Coleslaw. I liked the Coleslaw because it wasn't doused in mayo and you could actually taste the vegetables. My mom had the Mac & Cheese also and the Baked Beans which she thought were really amazing!
My boyfriend ordered the half-rack of Ribs and loved it! The meat had that yummy smoked flavor and was very tender and juicy but not overcooked to the point where they were falling off the bone. It is the kind of great ribs you expect in the South.
The food was scrumptious, the prices affordable and the portions more than one can handle. I want more, I want more!!!

Video: Jihadis raid site of U.S. jet crash in Anbar
posted at 12:39 pm on November 28, 2006 by Allahpundit
The Jawas have it. There's only a glimpse of smoke in one shot, so the crash had probably occurred some time earlier. How come U.S. forces weren't on the scene immediately?
The body of the pilot was taken after the video was shot, but given what happened to Tucker and Menchaca, I've got a feeling we'll be seeing it again.
The crash happened in Anbar, by the way, where AQ is either widely despised or extremely popular, depending upon whom you read.

Monte is Competing in Week 5!
University of Montana Grizzly mascot Monte squeaked by in last week's Capital One National Mascot Challenge.
University of Montana Grizzly mascot Monte squeaked by in last week's Capital One National Mascot Challenge.
The kids are pretty cool in the latest entries for the Griz Super Fan contest.
Tis' the season for home improvement. Fortunately for you, many of the items in the Seize the Deal Missoula Online Auction are geared toward creating an awesome living space.
Do your bicuspids, canines, and lateral incisors need some work? Have you been looking to get work done, but just haven't had the means to do it? Look no further!
This event has been cancelled due to lack of entrants. Please join us again next year.
The Texaco Country Showdown is back in Missoula and we are ready to help find the most auspicious country music talent in America! The Texaco Country Showdown is the largest country music talent showcase in the world! It gives performers a chance to start their careers as the newest up-and-coming talent in country music. Over 4,000 radio stations nationwide are holding settings to display all of the never-before-seen emerging artists — but the clock is ticking! Your only chance to see if you are the next big thing is June 1 at the Sunrise Saloon in Missoula!
Really, GuySpeed? You are making this too easy. Pitting our lovable mascot up against some of the (dare we say...) unattractive school mascots is just simply too unfair for our rivals. First, it was Otto the Orange which lost by a whopping 84% of the votes, and now this week, everyone's obvious favorite furry grizzly bear is up against yet another slightly odd looking team spirit costumed character.
With a vote of 84%, Monte Bear sent the over-sized Syracuse orange mascot rolling back home with its vine tucked between its legs (orange's have legs?) and will move on to the next round in the March Mascot Madness contest.
I realize we have been a bit bracket crazy lately, but when we see our lovable Monte Bear in need of help in an online March Madness mascot duel, those of us with Montana pride can't help but rush to his aid.
We Missoulians all love this beautiful city we feel lucky enough to call home. We know we are unique and we are proud of it. From being one of the top five greenest places to live, to being just a few short miles away from four ski resorts, to being known as a city for inspiring entrepreneurs, Missoula has it.
ScreenCrush and GuySpeed are partnering up for a weekly DVD giveaway. This week, we're offering up a copy of the box office-smashing, record-breaking, James Bond flick, 'Skyfall,' starring Daniel Craig as the infamous 007.

Drug Safety:
not a bad seene at all.
Drug Safety:
Lots of weed on-campus. You'll definitely find people who do that. There's definitely a harder underground drug-culture, as evidenced by the two deaths this year, but that's not noticeable at all. You'd really have to seek it out. The public parties are fun for people who don't drink if they like dancing, but more private parties would be pretty awkward if you don't drink. However, people who don't drink have fun if their friends don't as well.
Drug Safety:
There is no Greek life and little access to drugs
Drug Safety:
Beer is definitely prevalent but there is absolutely no pressure to drink unless you want to. Lots of Rice students don't drink and lead great social lives. People here respect each other's decisions so nobody judges non-drinkers and vice versa.
Drug Safety:
They're getting stricter, so we're seeing more problems. Did problems exist before they started cracking down? I'm not sure, but I liked how life was when the alcohol policy was more lax when I was a freshman.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Most students feel that drugs are a non-issue at Rice. People that want them can seek them out, but for the most part, you will rarely encounter anything other than alcohol unless you go looking for it. At Rice parties, alcohol plays a very key role, and it's highly visible, but drugs are not. Nevertheless, it's very feasible to have a normal and happy social life without partaking in drugs or alcohol.
As far as the scene itself goes, pot is definitely the most widely-used illegal substance—most people who do experiment with drugs do so carefully, and very few students are ever expelled over drugs. All in all, the drug scene at Rice is practically invisible. As with anywhere, it can be sought out, but it is certainly not prevalent and unavoidable.

I bought a BOSU at Costco. I leave it in our family room and if we find we are sitting too long watching TV in the evening I get up during commercials and do some exercises on the BOSU to work the core muscles.
Break your two minutes of brushing time into 30 second segments. Do a wall sit during the first 30, rest during the second 30, wall-sit during the 3rd segment, and rest during the last. It makes sure you brush your teeth long enough, too!
When you are doing core workouts or any cardio, it is better if you do not arch your back. It does feel good to do so, but it is not recommended.Keeping the back straight imagining that it is stiff helps in both cardio and core work.
I am a music teacher, and have students coming and going from my class every 30 minutes. While waiting for my next student to arrive, I do a set of core exercises, which takes +- 2 minutes. In a 6 hour teaching day, I manage to do at least 20 minutes of core work. Each second counts 41

Training yourself to become a better fighter doesn't necessarily mean that every weekend you are encouraged to frequent sports pubs and engage in physical altercations. In fact, becoming involved with close combat training can effectively enhance your ability to defend yourself in those unexpected situations.
I think we all understand which situations I'm speaking; the one where you're simply minding your own business on a street corner when somebody approaches you with demeaning words and unwarranted anger – this is where learning how to defend yourself physically can come in quite handy, because it's almost certain that this person advanced with the intention to fight.
In short, MMA or mixed martial arts is defined as a full contact combat sport, and it permits a large variety of fighting methods, including those of tradition and non-tradition. This means that grappling, as well as striking, is allowed. Most fights actually end in a grapple, followed by a submission move (i.e. arm bar). Congruently, this is why learning mixed martial arts for self defense is so beneficial. It's true that most physical altercations, whether they are during after hours at a town bar or in the parking lot outside of a gym, almost always end up on the ground in a furious jostle for position.
But if you truly want to subdue your attacker, you must learn the various styles and techniques of handling your opponent while you're both on the ground. A take-down is typically followed by the most common hybrid of "ground and pound," where you have your foe on his back while sitting on top of him throwing devastating punches. But MMA ground fighting isn't always defined by clinching mixed with knees, elbows and punches to the face. In fact, it's what's known as "submission grappling" that gives note to a well rounded MMA fighter.
When I say submission grappling, I mean putting your adversary in a choke-hold and/or any of the following:
• Joint locks
• Arm-locks
• Leg-locks
• Clinch holds
• Compression locks
• Pain compliance
• Pinning
There are a few intricate others, including the "Grapevine", but these are the top categories that define submission holds. These are a part of many different disciplines including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Catch Wrestling, Judo, Sambo, Shootwrestling, Pankration and more.
Let's not forget one of the most important elements and differentiators to boxing; kickboxing/Muay Thai. Certain MMA fighters specialize in areas like kickboxing provided they're strongest in that area. The same goes for clinching and ground and pound – fighters will determine their strong areas during practice and routine, effectively mastering their most powerful kick and/or submission move. This is evident while viewing any MMA fight. You'll notice that some MMA fighters almost always strike at the hips, venturing into a takedown and eventually ending the fight in submission while others enjoy staying on their feet and throwing lots of punches.
Nevertheless, all of these traditional styles and disciplines mixed with a combination of modern or non-tradition styles envelope what we commonly refer to as Mixed Martial Arts today. The sport is growing in popularity. Congruently, more people are taking an interest into learning some of these self defense techniques. Not only does engaging in such activity come with the ability to defend, but it naturally enhances fitness.

ATLANTA (AP) - Federal drug enforcement officials say they've seized millions of dollars from Mexican cartel members operating in Atlanta.
Authorities say some of that money will go to help Georgia law enforcement agencies.
Drug Enforcement Agency Special Agent Rodney Benson says Operation Four Horsemen resulted in the seizure of $23.8 million
and more than 500 kilograms of cocaine.
Benson says 23 cartel members have been arrested, including two
brothers accused of running drugs along the East Coast.
Authorities say $8 million will be divided among agencies that provided key help in the investigation - the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Georgia Department of Public Safety, Lawrenceville
Police Department, Henry County Sheriff's Office and the Troup
County Sheriff's Office.

Roland (Ro) Coit, left, and Rick Williams, the co-owners of Burn Rubber in Royal Oak will star in the new web series, "Detroit Rubber, " which debuts online at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
- Filed Under
Burn Rubber co-owners Rick Williams and Roland (Ro) Coit say their unique partnership is behind the success of their Royal Oak sneaker boutique. Now the dynamic duo is hoping a new collaboration with Eminem's Shady Films production company will make "Detroit Rubber" a must-see worldwide web series.
The show launches online at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
"It's more like a reality documentary than a traditional reality show that's got all that crazy stuff," Williams said of the series' six 10-minute episodes. They focus primarily on the day-to-day lives of Williams and Coit and depict them with their ...

No tropical cyclones came near the Hawaiian Islands this year for the first time since 1979 because of La Nina conditions, or cooler-than-normal temperatures of ocean surfaces near the equator, the National Weather Service said.
Hurricane season, which began June 1, formally ended yesterday.
In a typical year the Central Pacific region, which includes Hawaii, has four to five cyclones, including tropical depressions, tropical storms and hurricanes.
"Last year we had a very active season, and this year it's been really super, superquiet," said Robert A. Ballard, science and operations officer for the National Weather Service in Honolulu.
Ballard said yesterday that while tropical cyclones peak in September and October, they can occur at any time and could still occur in December -- though the likelihood decreases in the winter months.
Warm ocean temperatures near the equator help create storm conditions that spawn tropical cyclones.
Ballard said although this year has been extremely quiet, next year could have an above-normal number of tropical cyclones.
Ballard said the years following a quiet cyclone season usually have a normal or above-normal number of cyclones.
La Nina conditions began prevailing in May, he said.
The Weather Services' Climate Prediction Center in Washington, D.C., expects La Nina conditions to prevail through spring.
BLOWN AWAYNumber of tropical cyclones in the Central Pacific Basin, which includes Hawaii:
2010: 0
Source: National Weather Service
Ballard said that with La Nina the forecast is that Hawaii will have wetter than normal conditions this winter, even though November has been drier than normal in a number of places.
Last month's rainfall, excluding yesterday, was 25 percent of normal rainfall at Honolulu Airport, 35 percent at Lihue, 60 percent at Kahului and 67 percent at Hilo.
A tropical depression occurs when showers and thunder showers wrap around and into a center, with winds blowing up to 38 mph. A tropical storm occurs with storm conditions where winds are blowing between 39 and 73 mph.
A Category 1 hurricane occurs when storm winds blow between 74 and 95 mph.
In the past five years, the Central Pacific region has had 15 tropical cyclones, including eight hurricanes, four tropical storms and six tropical depressions.
One notable hurricane was Category 4 Hurricane Iniki in September 1992 with winds blowing at 140 mph and gusts up to 175 mph that, according to the Red Cross, left 14,350 damaged or destroyed homes on Kauai. Six deaths were attributed to Iniki.

Is the "Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC" Safe and Helpful?

I did not intentionally download this software called "Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC". In fact, I do not know how it came to my laptop. I guess it came when I downloaded some applications for work.
This "Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC" always pops up after I log into my laptop and asks me whether I want to run it. Is "Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC" safe? Does it really help in speeding up? Or, I should delete it?
Thank you for your guidance.

There are several possibilities
1: It was one of the bits of junk put on your laptop by the supplier. A lot of software suppliers pay to have their apps put on your laptop, and in a recession the suppliers are glad of every penny. You may even find it is on the recovery disc they supplied.
2: You downloaded some other "free" app which is paid for by advertising. There was some
print which you didn't notice saying you had to try the speed up app along with it.
Those two scenarios are benign. If either of those is the case, it is a minor annoyance. If your app was paid for by advertising, then uninstalling speed up may cause your app to stop working. Begging the question of whether you want that sort of app in the first place.
3: There are websites which charge only £9.99 to clean up the junk on your computer. I can probably find one and it will tell me there are 12345 bits of junk in my registry, and if I pay the £9.99 it will tell me it has deleted them. Brilliant. Even on my Linux box which ain't got a registry!
4: It may come bundled with ad‑ware, which monitors your browsing habits and sends you targeted advertising.
Less benign, just a minor scam or moderate annoyance.
5: It is
bona fide
I think it is probably not malware, otherwise your anti‑virus program would have found it and complained. I searched for Uniblue etc on CNET and found
, which reassures me the program is not harmful. If you click through the CNET link, it makes some interesting remarks at the end of the review.
1: Set a system restore point and take a backup of your work
2: Uninstall the speed up program.
3: Get some anti-adware apps, eg AdAware, Spybot search & destroy. There are others. If you use SS&D, read the licence agreement carefully. You can find several apps
4: Run a full malware scan with your anti‑virus program.
5: Run the adware and spyware programs. It may be worth using more than one, but don't run two scans simultaneously.
6: Get the adware programs to remove anything they find.
7: Set a new system restore point.
8: Make a new recovery disc and take a new backup.
You may find that improves the performance of your PC more than any tune‑up program. Ashampoo make a tune‑up program which you can try free of charge for a week.

Pubs with Food near the Menier Theatre
nomad Tuesday 30 March 2010 6.02pm
We are going to The Menier Theatre this week and as the Nomad Family is now increasing, eating out is becoming more expensive; so apart from taking sandwiches, we would like a snack at least before the performance, could any one recommend decent places close to the Menier to share a couple of bottles of wine and tapas/ selections of cheeses or meats or even sandwiches!
jw Friday 2 April 2010 5.01pm
The Menier restuarant itself is good - they do a set meal which is cheaper for theatre goers.

Wish I could share a sun-soaked forecast with you this morning, but it appears it's just not going to work out for us today....or tomorrow....or Tuesday....(gulp!)
Low pressure is stuck in place, and will continue to control our weather pattern for the next several days. As a result, we can expect plenty of cloud cover, with moisture in the form of snow and rain showers sliding through the Pine Tree State from time to time. Today it appears the snow will become more steady in northern counties, particularly during the afternoon and evening hours. Something positive about this forecast (yes, I'm reaching...) temperatures will stay fairly mild with overnight lows in the low 30s with daytime highs around 40. More positive news: sunshine shall triumphantly return by the end of the week. Something to look forward to for sure!

This is Iron FUCKING Maiden for fuck's sake! Be VERY glad that they're either coming to your city or that you can afford to travel to see them. There are many of us, myself included, who don't have either of those options available. If Maiden ever does make it to my area, I will NOT complain in the LEAST about the set NO MATTER what it is! This band isn't going to be around for too much longer and soon NONE of us will be able to see them. So, please try your VERY best to enjoy EVERY second of the SUPER MEGA AMAZING performance because this could very well be your LAST chance to see them!

Larisa Brass: State's solar strategists' hopes not dimmed for industry
Tennessee's solar industry appeared ready to shine when two of the world's largest companies involved in the manufacture of photovoltaic panels announced plans to invest billions in the state.
Four years later, global economics and local policy have raised questions about the brightness of the alternative energy's future.
Hemlock Semiconductor and Wacker Chemie have both delayed their production for the polysilicon used to make solar panels. Hemlock laid off 300 employees at its $1.2 billion plant in Clarksville, Tenn. before production began, while Wacker Chemie has slowed construction of its Cleveland, Tenn., plant with an eye towards postponing its opening until 2015.
In Georgia, following a state-mandated, 50-megawatt pilot project, the utility has chosen to develop 260 additional megawatts of solar power, which will be purchased at no additional cost to customers and reflects the energy source's increasing affordability.
Volkswagen invested in solar energy because of its environmental commitment, not to save money right away, says Guenther Scherelis, the company's Chattanooga spokesman.
The 33-acre installation helped Volkswagen become the first automotive plant in the world to achieve the U.S. Building Council's LEED Platinum certification.
"Sustainability is one of our core values of the group," Scherelis says. "We assume that in the long-term, energy prices will go up."
Matt Kisber says changes in state incentives, a potential property tax increase for solar installations and cutbacks in TVA programs promoting renewable energy have made solar development in Tennessee more difficult. "My sense is companies want to locate and do business in states and communities where they feel appreciated and wanted," he says. "The state needs to have policies that support their activities. … Georgia has taken our place (in developing solar as a power source). And they're doing it for economic development objectives. There are a number of other Southeastern states that are actively recruiting (solar manufacturers)."

"THE ORIGINAL RIOT GRRLS ARE BACK! JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS SOUNDTRACK JUMPS FROM No. 82 TO No. 16 ON THE BILLBOARD TOP 200 AS THE MOVIE OPENS NATIONWIDE
"New York, NY—Before Courtney Love, before the Go-Go's, before the Runaways, there was Josie, Melody and Val, the original Riot Grrl rockers who solved mysteries in their spare time in the classic Saturday morning cartoon Josie and the Pussycats. Thirty-one years after their debut, the 'Cats are back and appearing at a theater near you. The soundtrack was released on Tuesday, March 27, and as the movie opened this week, it jumped up the Billboard Top 200 chart from #82 to #16. Sales are topping 100,000 after just three weeks in stores."
Ah yes, the "original" riot grrrls. Remember the episode in which Josie chain sawed a dildo while Mel and Val scrawled SLUT and INCEST SURVIVOR on each others' midriffs to make a point about the way women are treated? Me neither. (Chris Ziegler)Press Release of the Month: First Runner-up
From a Maverick Records promotional kit trumpeting 17-year-old singer/songwriter Michelle Branch: "With all the prepackaged musical fiction going on these days, it's a blessing to hear a young artist who was born to share her old soul. Citing her influences in the Beatels [sic] and Led Zeppelin, she wasted no time going after her dreams." A true blessing, however, would be for record-label publicity departments to hire proofreaders who know how to spell the names of historically important rock bands. (Rich Kane)

text: Ok guys... I've got a problem that, frankly, I don't know what to do to fix. Whenever I go from a knit stitch to a purl stitch, that knit stitch always seems to be loose and misshapen and there tends to be a gap between the two. Now, the gap isn't a huge issue for me because the "rib" (so to speak) generally hides that. But the loose knit stitches are the bane of my knitting at the moment. I've tried tightening them 10 ways from Sunday and I still can't get them even. I don't know if it's something weird like the angle I purl at, but it's always when I go from knits to purls. Here's a picture. Any ideas?

Re: Star Trip: The ...What? Generation
Well, of course they have the "right" to make this video. No one is suggesting otherwise. But having the right to do something isn't the same thing as HAVING to do it.
There's freedom of speech in this country, I have the right to make a video using every offensive word, slur and stereotype there is. I can do that, it's my right. But that doesn't mean it won't be offensive to people.
And, really, we should be in an "advanced" enough society that doesn't tolerate such parodies and caricatures. I go back to my black-face reference above. If a movie was made today with white men playing black men using black face and other offensive features common to turn-of-the-(last)century performances (big, red lips, monkey/ape-like features people would call it offensive and would rightfully protest the movie.
It shouldn't be tolerated to treat a group of people in such a manner and that's how I feel about this gay-stereotype in the video. It's highly offensive and its very obviously a gay stereotype. Sure they have the right to do it, and I support that right, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to be offended by this depiction. Even if it was under the guise of the character "being a woman."
For me, and for many of us, the future is now in the past.

David's Last Words
1These are the last words of David the son of Jesse.
The God of Jacob chose David
and made him a great king.
The Mighty God of Israel
loved him.#23.1 The Mighty … him: Or "He wrote Israel's favorite songs."
When God told him to speak,
David said:
2The Spirit of the Lord
has told me what to say.
3Our Mighty Rock,#23.3 Mighty Rock: See the note at 22.2.
the God of Jacob, told me,
"A ruler who obeys God
and does right
4is like the sunrise
on a cloudless day,
or like rain that sparkles
on the grass."#23.4 sparkles … grass: Or "makes the grass grow."
5I have ruled this way,
and God will never break
his promise to me.
God's promise is complete
and unchanging;
he will always help me
and give me what I hope for.
6But evil people are pulled up
like thornbushes.
They are not dug up by hand,
7but with a sharp spear
and are burned on the spot.
The Three Warriors
(1 Chronicles 11.10-19)
8These are the names of David's warriors:
Ishbosheth#23.8 Ishbosheth: Hebrew "Josheb Bashebeth," which seems to be another spelling of Ishbosheth. See the note at 2.8, although this is a different Ishbosheth. the son of Hachmon#23.8 the son of Hachmon: Or "the Tahchemonite" (see 1 Chronicles 11.11). was the leader of the Three Warriors.#23.8 the Three Warriors: The most honored group of warriors. They may have been part of the Thirty Warriors. "Three" and "thirty" are spelled almost the same in Hebrew, so there is some confusion in the manuscripts as to which group is being talked about in some places in the following lists. In one battle, he killed 800 men with his spear.#23.8 with … spear: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text (see 1 Chronicles 11.11).
9The next one of the Three Warriors was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite. One time when the Philistines were at war with Israel, he and David dared the Philistines to fight them. Every one of the Israelite soldiers turned and ran, 10except Eleazar. He killed Philistines until his hand was cramped, and he couldn't let go of his sword. When Eleazar finished, all the Israelite troops had to do was come back and take the enemies' weapons and armor. The Lord gave Israel a great victory that day.
11Next was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. One time the Philistines brought their army together to destroy a crop of peas growing in a field near Lehi. The rest of Israel's soldiers ran away from the Philistines, 12but Shammah stood in the middle of the field and killed the Philistines. The crops were saved, and the Lord gave Israel a great victory.
13One year at harvest time, the Three Warriors#23.13 the Three Warriors: Or "three warriors." Hebrew "three of the thirty most important." went to meet David at Adullam Cave.#23.13 Adullam Cave: This may have happened during the time that David was an outlaw (see 1 Samuel 22.1-6). The Philistine army had set up camp in Rephaim Valley 14and had taken over Bethlehem. David was in his fortress, 15and he was very thirsty. He said, "I wish I had a drink from the well by the gate at Bethlehem."
16The Three Warriors#23.16 the Three Warriors: Or "three warriors." sneaked into the Philistine camp and got some water from the well near Bethlehem's gate. But after they brought the water back to David, he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out as a sacrifice 17and said to the Lord, "I can't drink this water! It's like the blood of these men who risked their lives to get it for me."
The Three Warriors did these brave deeds.
The Thirty Warriors
(1 Chronicles 11.20-47)
18Joab's brother Abishai was the leader of the Thirty Warriors,#23.18 the Thirty Warriors: The second most honored group of warriors. They may have also been officers in the army (see the note at 23.8). and in one battle he killed 300 men with his spear. He was as famous as the Three Warriors 19and certainly just as famous as the rest of the Thirty Warriors. He was the commander of the Thirty Warriors, but he still did not become one of the Three Warriors.
20Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a brave man from Kabzeel who did some amazing things. He killed two of Moab's best fighters,#23.20 Moab's best fighters: Or "big lions in Moab;" one ancient translation "sons of Ariel from Moab." and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion. 21Another time, he killed an Egyptian, as big as a giant.#23.21 Egyptian … giant: First Chronicles 11.23; in this verse the Hebrew text has "good-looking Egyptian." The Egyptian was armed with a spear, but Benaiah only had a club. Benaiah grabbed the spear from the Egyptian and killed him with it. 22-23Benaiah did these things. He never became one of the Three Warriors, but he was just as famous as they were and certainly just as famous as the rest of the Thirty Warriors. David made him the leader of his bodyguard.
24-39Some of the Thirty Warriors were:
Asahel the brother of Joab
Elhanan the son of Dodo from Bethlehem
Shammah from Harod
Elika from Harod
Helez the Paltite
Ira the son of Ikkesh from Tekoa
Abiezer from Anathoth
Mebunnai#23.24-39 Mebunnai: Or "Sibbecai" (see 1 Chronicles 11.26-47). the Hushathite
Zalmon the Ahohite
Maharai from Netophah
Heleb the son of Baanah from Netophah
Ittai the son of Ribai from Gibeah of the tribe of Benjamin
Benaiah from Pirathon
Hiddai from the streams on Mount Gaash
Abialbon from Beth-Arabah
Azmaveth from Bahurim#23.24-39 Bahurim: Or "Barhum."
Eliahba from Shaalbon
Jashen#23.24-39 Jashen: Hebrew "sons of Jashen."
Jonathan the son of Shammah the Hararite#23.24-39 Jonathan … Hararite: Some manuscripts of one ancient translation (see 1 Chronicles 11.26-47). In the Hebrew text Jonathan and Shammah are separate members of the list.
Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite
Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai from Maacah
Eliam the son of Ahithophel from Gilo
Hezro from Carmel
Paarai the Arbite
Igal the son of Nathan from Zobah
Bani the Gadite
Zelek from Ammon
Naharai from Beeroth, who carried the weapons of Joab the son of Zeruiah
Ira the Ithrite
Gareb the Ithrite
Uriah the Hittite
There were 37 in all.

My name is Gabbi Calabrese, and I used to run a YA book blog called BookBreather (http://bookbreather4lyfe.blogspot.com).

So, I would like to start a new blog. For lack of better words, I would like a fresh start. But the truth of the matter is, things have not eased up since I decided to quit blogging last time. Therefore, I am hoping that enlisting a partner on this adventure will make it slightly less difficult to maintain a blog.
I'm not saying that BookBreather was a wildly popular blog, but I do have experience in the blogging community. I'm full of ideas and willing to contribute my part to the blog.
If you think you would be possibly interested in partnering up with me, please contact me either through this website, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

|The interaction of banana MADS-box protein MuMADS1 and ubiquitin-activating enzyme E-MuUBA in post-harvest banana fruit.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23007689 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|KEY MESSAGE : The interaction of MuMADS1 and MuUBA in banana was reported, which will help us to understand the mechanism of the MADS-box gene in regulating banana fruit development and ripening. The ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1 gene fragment MuUBA was obtained from banana (Musa acuminata L.AAA) fruit by the yeast two-hybrid method using the banana MADS-box gene MuMADS1 as bait and 2-day post-harvest banana fruit cDNA library as prey. MuMADS1 interacted with MuUBA. The interaction of MuMADS1 and MuUBA in vivo was further proved by bimolecular fluorescence complementation assay. Real-time quantitative PCR evaluation of MuMADS1 and MuUBA expression patterns in banana showed that they are highly expressed in the ovule 4 stage, but present in low levels in the stem, which suggests a simultaneously differential expression action exists for both MuMADS1 and MuUBA in different tissues and developmental fruits. MuMADS1 and MuUBA expression was highly stimulated by exogenous ethylene and suppressed by 1-methylcyclopropene. These results indicated that MuMADS1 and MuUBA were co-regulated by ethylene and might play an important role in post-harvest banana fruit ripening.

Schnitzel, pretzels, brats and beer
Keeping the German tradition alive with Oktoberfest
The German celebration of Oktoberfest continues to have a strong presence with Holloman Air Force Base as it returns for its 17th year Sept. 13 and 14, at the Jim R. Griggs Sports Complex, in Alamogordo.
Celebrating the German customs of Oktoberfest since 1996, the city of Alamogordo and Holloman AFB expects to welcome a crowd of about 6,000 to partake in the mug clinking, dancing and delicious treats offered during the weekend event.
"Expect lots of noise, amazing aromas, and a different language besides the everyday English and Spanish," said visitor Katrina MacAhan-Donoho, of Albuquerque. "No matter your age, whether you drink or not, or who you come with, you are bound to enjoy yourself. People are super friendly there, which is awesome."
With a goal to focus on more than just the beer, the community and Holloman project team have been organizing the details and happenings for the event for weeks. The team decided to move the event to the complex to allow for a more original festival-style venue, as originally celebrated in Munich, Germany. Changing the location for the first time in 17 years, the celebration will be held at Griggs Sports Complex instead of on base. The complex serves as the perfect venue, accommodating more than 3,000 visitors, 2,000 of which will find seating under the main tent. The upcoming deployment to Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho has put the usual hangar under maintenance for two weeks, leaving Holloman AFB to "rethink" their location.
"It's so cool learning about the German culture and how they celebrate Oktoberfest," Tyrell Jordan of San Antonio said. "The food, drinks, and dancing is something that everybody should experience."
Authentic style Bavarian dress, traditional German foods and souvenirs and skits are prepared in advance.
If you've ever wondered what the German version of an American dance party is, prepare yourself for what Senior Airman Glenn Atienza calls his favorite part of the festival.
"My favorite might be the good mix between German "Gemütlichkeit" and the American party, including 'Cupids Shuffle' or 'Wobble Dance,'" he said.
Music and entertainment will include a Bavarian-style brass band from Germany and folklore presentations.
Friday, visitors will get up and dance to ChoiceS, a local "Germanrican" classic rock group hitting the stage at 9:30 p.m. The band plays everything from Elvis and Santana, to Journey and Bruno Mars. A DJ will also be providing music throughout the event.
On site will be two inflatable castles for the kids, kids Parkour, a kids high striker and souvenirs for all ages. Minors are allowed to stay on the festival grounds until 10 p.m. and must, at all times, be accompanied by an adult.
Saturday an outdoor movie provided by FunFlicks will begin at sunset.
"First time Oktoberfest visitors can expect delicious German food, beer, souvenirs and great entertainment," Atienza said. "It's a fun event for the entire family."
To ensure ultimate authenticity, food is prepared by four professional chefs from the German Armed Forces Logistics School. Typical dishes include schnitzel, Bavarian meatloaf, brats, pretzels and spaetzel. It is $7 for an adult meal and $4 for children. There will be several water, wine and soft drink options for those who aren't fans of Paulaner Oktoverfestbeir, the German beer of choice.
Holloman AFB holds safety as a top priority for the event combining Alamogordo police and security officers to total more than 1,000 personnel at the event. Three bus routes, two in the city limits and one to and from Holloman AFB, will be provided both days.
"For the first timers, I'd just warn them about the German alcohol, it's a lot stronger than people think," Jordan said. "It's cool to go for the drinking, but experience the food, dancing, and the German culture. It's an awesome experience."

Shattering the American Illusion
The Revolution in Egypt is a geopolitical game changer.
For over half a century, America has been celebrated as the land of liberty whose foreign policy is synonymous with promoting freedom and democracy. But now, in the wake of WikiLeaks and the people's revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, we finally have confirmation of what many of us have long suspected: America is no longer living up to its noble promise. We know now that for years, America has been giving millions of dollars of military aid to the Tunisian government, a regime that America's own ambassador called, in a leaked diplomatic cable, "a police state, with little freedom of expression or association, and serious human rights problems." [1] Likewise, in Egypt, America has provided billions of dollars of mostly military aid to a government known to use torture, as another leaked cable testifies: "torture and police brutality in Egypt are endemic and widespread" and "there are literally hundreds of torture incidents every day in Cairo police stations alone."[2] Worse still, is the evidence that Egypt tortured individuals on America's behalf as part of the CIA's illegal rendition program. [3]
The rhetoric of democracy can no longer hide from the world the reality of what America has become: not a bastion of liberty, but a disgraced state and anti-democratic supporter of tyrants. We are now entering a post-American era. Global geopolitics will never be the same. Can America get back on track?

British officials said one person has died and at least two people have been wounded in an attack in southeast London. Scotland Yard said officers responded to reports of an assault Wednesday afternoon in the London neighbourhood of Woolwich. London Ambulance service said one man was found dead at the scene and two other men were taken to the hospital, with one in serious condition. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant) (Alastair Grant)
LONDON (AP) - British Prime Minister David Cameron says there are "strong indications" that a brutal attack in London is terror-related.
Two men attacked another man near a London military barracks on Wednesday. One man died and the two others believed to be have weapons were shot by police.
Speaking at a press conference in Paris with French President Francois Hollande, Cameron called the attack "the most appalling crime" and said there are "strong indications" that it is a terrorist incident.
Hollande says a British soldier was killed in the attack, but Cameron didn't immediately confirm that.
Cameron said he would be cutting his trip short to return to London.

The Dangers of Ionic Air Purifiers
By G Clark
For a while there, ionic air purifiers took the world of air purification by storm. People were drawn in by their quiet operation, the fact that they don't use or require filters, and for their energy efficiency. It seemed as if HEPA air purifiers had some legitimate competition for the very first time. It didn't take long, though, for news about the problems with ionic air purifiers to spread. The biggest concern that haunts the supposed benefits of these machines is their close association with ozone. Indeed, ionic air purifiers produce ozone as a byproduct – and ozone is a proven lung irritant that flies in the face of improving indoor air quality.
The Problem with Ozone
To understand the growing concern that many people have about ionic air purifiers, it is necessary to get a handle on why ozone is so problematic. Most of us are familiar with ozone due to the ozone layer, the much talked about protective bubble that envelops the Earth's atmosphere. Nearly everybody knows about the ever increasing concerns about ozone layer depletion and what it means for the health and safety of people around the world. In that regard, ozone is a very important and necessary molecule in the Earth's stratosphere; it's when ozone gets into the air we breathe that it creates trouble.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued warnings regarding the dangers of ozone exposure. Basically, breathing in ozone can cause a laundry list of health problems. Chief among these health problems are coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain and an irritated throat. Breathing in ozone on a regular basis can exacerbate or worsen existing respiratory conditions including asthma and allergies. Without a doubt, all of us are better off avoiding ozone at all costs – yet an air purifier that is designed to clean the air we breathe produces it as a byproduct.
How Ionic Air Purifiers Work
Ionic air purifiers work in a completely different way than HEPA air purifiers. They release a continuous flow of negatively charged ions into the air. Those ions connect with airborne particulates, making them negatively charged as well. Over time, all of those negatively charged particles group together, become heavy, and fall to the ground or onto nearby surfaces. They are removed from the air, but not removed from the room. Instead, they create a film of sorts on things around a room and can even be stirred back up into the air.
Ozone and Ionic Air Purifiers: A Troubling Connection
As beneficial as ionic air purifiers may sound, they come with one very negative side effect: ozone production. In order to produce the negatively charged ions that they do, these machines must emit ozone as a byproduct. Considering that the American Lung Association (ALA) has issued stern warnings about exposure to ozone in the past, it stands to reason that using an ionic air purifier just doesn't make any sense. Why introduce such an irritant into the air in your home if you can help it?
Controversy Swirls around Ionic Air Purifiers
Sharper Image – a popular retailer of unique, high tech gadgets – coasted on the popularity of their ionic air purifiers for quite some time. In fact, Sharper Image actually sued a consumer watchdog group that raised concerns about the health issues caused by ozone production. That suit was thrown out of court, and Sharper Image actually ended up paying damages. Ultimately, the negative press generated by the ozone production of their ionic air purifiers hurt Sharper Image's sales considerably; they even had to file for bankruptcy when all was said and done.
HEPA Air Purifiers for Tried and True Indoor Air Quality
Despite their initial threat to the popularity of HEPA air purifiers, ionic air purifiers actually ended up cementing and proving the benefits of HEPA air purifiers in the end. Quality HEPA air purifiers do not produce ozone and do not introduce any contaminants into the air in your home. Unlike ionic air purifiers, HEPA filtration effectively removes 99.97% of all airborne pollutants, including mold spores, bacteria, dust, pollen and viruses, making it easier and healthier to breathe. HEPA air purifiers are the genuine article when it comes to superior respiratory health.

Enterprise, Environment and Digital Directorates (Scotland)
|This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
Scotland in the EU
The Scottish Government Enterprise, Environment and Innovation Directorates are a group of civil service Directorates in the Scottish Government created by a December 2010 and then a June 2014 re-organisation.[1]
The individual Directorates within the overarching Enterprise, Environment and Innovation Directorates report to the Director-General, Graeme Dickson.[2]
A general concordat, drawn up in 1999, set out agreed frameworks for co-operation between the pre-existing Environment Directorates and the United Kingdom government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs[3] and there is another specifically on the subject of genetically modified organisms.[4]
There is no direct relationship between Ministers and the Directorates. However, the activities of the Directorates include those under the purview of the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment, Richard Lochhead MSP, whose responsibilities include: agriculture, fisheries and rural development including aquaculture and forestry, environment and natural heritage, land reform, water quality regulation and sustainable development. He is supported by the Minister for the Environment and Climate Change, Paul Wheelhouse MSP. John Swinney MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Employment and Sustainable Growth and Fergus Ewing MSP, Minister for Energy, Enterprise and Tourism, also have responsibility for some of the work of these Directorates.
The overarching Scottish Government Directorates were preceded by similar structures called "Departments" that no longer exist (although the word is still sometimes used in this context).[5] As an overarching unit, the Enterprise, Environment & Innovation Directorates incorporate a number of individual Directorates entitled:
- Agriculture, Food & Rural Communities - Director: Jonathan Pryce
- Business - Director: John Mason
- Energy and Climate Change - Director: David Wilson
- Environment & Forestry - Director: Dr Bob McIntosh
- Marine Scotland - Director: Linda Rosborough
- Chief Scientific Advisor (Rural Affairs & Environment) - Professor Louise Heathwaite
Agencies and other bodies[edit]
The Directorates are responsible for one agency:
The Directorates also sponsor several non-departmental public bodies including:
- Cairngorms National Park Authority
- Crofters Commission
- Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority
- James Hutton Institute
- Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
- Scottish Environment Protection Agency
- Scottish Natural Heritage
The Rural Development Council was set up in 2008 to advise the Cabinet Secretary on rural affairs and to "consider how best rural Scotland can contribute to the creation of a more successful country, through increasing sustainable economic growth".[6]
Prior to the creation of the Enterprise and Environment Directorates in 2010, many of their responsibilities were undertaken by the Scottish Government Environment Directorates and prior to 2007 by the Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs Department (SEERAD).

Directors-General focus on the performance of the whole organisation against the Cabinet's agenda. The new structure means that the old Scottish Executive Departments no longer exist. Instead, each DG supports and manages a number of Directors, with these Directorates leading, presenting and developing policy for Ministers."

Time and time again I write about my love for animals and I try to stock my store full of different animal related items. This brand of cards was something I was not going to pass up. Le Canot Rouge donates 10% of gross sales to animal welfare causes and prints solely on process 100% recycled fibre paper. Sounds awesome Eh? Not only that but all of the animals illustrated on the cards reside in Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada. Want to know more? Click Here!
