How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)
6 mistakes
Directed by: Ben Washam, Chuck Jones
Starring: Boris Karloff, June Foray, Thurl Ravenscroft
Continuity mistake: At the end when the sled full of Christmas stuff is on the mountaintop, it starts sliding off the edge. It's going fast enough that it should be long gone by the time the Grinch reaches it, but when he does it's still right near the top of the mountain.
Continuity mistake: When the Grinch has his change of heart, his eyes change from red to blue. However, when he looks up and sees that the sled is about to fall, his eyes are red again.
Other mistake: When the Grinch is cutting Max's antler, the pieces that have fallen on the floor suddenly jump several inches closer to Max.
Continuity mistake: When the Grinch goes into the first house, you can see the Christmas tree in the background and it has a silver star on top. But later when he steals the star, it's gold.
Revealing mistake: When the Grinch is cutting Max's antler, the cut lines appear on the prongs before he actually starts to cut.
Continuity mistake: When the Grinch puts the antler on Max's head it has five prongs. But when Max tips forward, one of the prongs disappears as it's hidden behind his body. The Grinch only cuts off four prongs, but when Max goes upright again, the fifth prong is still gone.

Tonight I was driving in Corvallis, OR, a cycling-friendly college town (a dangerous combination IMHO). Windy, very windy, and torrential rain. Very difficult to see as a driver.
Was spooked a couple of times by cyclists passing me, with no apparent headlight and marginal tail light. Saw other unlit bikes (this was all after dark).
I noticed how hard it was for me to make out the lines on the road whilst driving, and how the glare of headlights and taillights, and the bright advertising signs, and the constant change in lighting from moving from under a street light to areas in between.
I also noticed how my eyes (I'm 53) don't care for the new bright blue headlights, and especially the cars that either are using driving lights or leaving the lights on high beam.
I came to the conclusion that there are some times where cycling is just plain dumb. Drivers, no matter how conscientious, are going to have a hard time seeing even a well-lit cyclist in these conditions. I just scratched these weather conditions off my ride day list - even though it will impact my commute and my monthly mileage.
Sure, the right to ride is there - but even the most careful driver is having trouble in these conditions, and I couldn't help but think that the folks I saw out there today hadn't really thought it through very well.

Lt. Col. Davis's 'Manufacturing Consent'
Over the weekend, Rolling Stone magazine published a full copy of the unclassified report that Lt. Col. Daniel Davis submitted to Congress. Davis is of course the army whistleblower who has written and spoken out against the "rosy official statements by U.S. military leaders about conditions on the ground" in Afghanistan, which he claims bear "no resemblance" to the truth.
Unlike other recent leaks – like the January National Intelligence Estimate that concluded the war is still a "stalemate," or the highly classified report that revealed most Afghans expect the Taliban to retake control of Afghanistan once the U.S. leaves – Davis's report is not necessarily an expose of the failures on the ground. At its core, the report is a window into the propaganda that the U.S. military continuously disseminates to the American people, which is then eaten up by cowardly politicians and a gullible, uninformed public. And it is not couched in delicate language. He is straightforward.
"Our current military leadership," Davis writes, "is so distorting the information it releases that the deterioration of the situation and the failing nature of our efforts is shielded from the American public (and Congress), and replaced instead with explicit statements that all is going according to plan."
Davis goes into the genesis of how the U.S. military handled the media during the first Gulf War as it "began to pay more attention to the role of media in conflicts and how it could be used to support operations." The Pentagon calls it Information Operations, defined by Brigadier General Ralph O. Baker as "activities undertaken by military and nonmilitary organizations to shape the essential narrative of a conflict or situation and thus affect the attitudes and behaviors of the targeted audience." The U.S. military considers this a "core competency" in wars that is "on a par with ground and air forces."
None of these propaganda efforts could work, of course, without a compliant news media. As Davis explains:
The first point is also probably the most obvious: in today's world of major journalism, it's all about viewership ratings which directly drive the bottom line: advertising revenue. If CNN doesn't put more news shows on that draw larger audiences than FOX News, they've got to adjust. One of the key permutations of this requirement comes in which reporters get the best, most accurate news and in the world of military and defense news, that means access to senior leaders, whether uniformed or civilian.
The military, of course, is well versed in this game and is keenly aware of the power that gives them. If reporter A does not cover a story the way senior military leader B desires, reporter A suddenly finds his access to B greatly reduced – or in some cases outright eliminated – even if A works for a major outlet. If reporter X shows he or she will routinely give the slant that is supportive of the IO outlined in the section above, military leader Z will not only find time for them, but will from time to time give them a scoop. Other times reporter Z will be invited to a VIP-level tour of certain locations on the battlefield, sometimes with a three-star general as an escort.
That a Lieutenant Colonel with multiple deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan is explaining these propaganda models to Congress, I think, is remarkable. Most Americans get turned off even by the word propaganda, certain such deviousness is only utilized in authoritarian states like North Korea. It gives incredible weight to media criticisms that have been coming from sensible, antiwar voices for years. Or rather, it would…if the media had chosen to highlight Davis's dissent, which it has not. Instead, a smear campaign has been waged against him by the Pentagon and has been dutifully amplified by the news media, almost exemplifying the predictive power of Davis's report.

Excellent analysis. Hopefully the Rolling Stone posting will get at least 10% of the attention it deserves.
The US actually has a long history of propagandizing efforts to go to war against other countries and then even more efforts to continue the war. The Sedition Act of 1917 was an infamous example of crushing any news organization that spoke out against our entry into WWI. The famous Gulf of Tonkin Incident was overly hyped to drastically escalate the war in Viet Nam. More recently, McClatchy was kicked off Bush's 747 for telling the truth about Iraq and told they would have to earn their way back on.
Continuing- Generals Petraeus and Caldwell willingly lied through their teeth about the shaped charge explosive devices from Iran (easily made in Iraq) as part of a Cheneyesque plot to justify an attack against Iran and they were rewarded with promotions. Luckily the top Generals stopped those attempts. General Anthony Taguba was forced into retirement for his scathing Abu Ghraib Report. It is important to have a protector or political patron at the Pentagon. Lt Col Davis has none, so the Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon will try to fry him.
continuing–There is too much money to be made in contracts and more promotions if the quagmire can be kept churning for a few more years. Be willing to write your US Senator and Congressman and ask them to read the Davis Report.
Continuing– I just read 25 pages of the Davis Report and it is scathing towards Petreaus and Caldwell for their spinning and lying about the success of the surge and training and reliability of Afghan troops. He also points out the DOD and Pentagon history of propaganda and the willingness of main stream media to accept it so they will have access to more propaganda.
I have read 52 pages of the Davis report I am mad as hell that our Government here in Oz is giving us the same crap. As yet there has been no mention of the Davis report in ANY media in this country that I know of…..Fairly typical.
Where oh where is my comment Mr Moderator?
"cowardly politicians" – Check out what happened to former Rep.s Cynthia McKinney twice and perhaps Jim Traficant and perhaps others. Cowardly implies being afraid when there is no real danger.
THE FACT THAT THE US IS CONDUCTING UNILATERAL NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE TALIBAN, ie: the Karzai and Afghan government are not involved, CONFIRMS LTC Davis' CONCLUSIONS.
I am a little surprised that Lt. Col. Davis would submit any report to Congress – they don´t seem likely to be interested in anything negative about their wars and occupations. Did Congress respond to his report?
Thanks for this post, I am a large fan of this website, I would like it to continue being updated.

too little too late, does this ungrateful person even care about his country and fellow man, ah NO, people are affected by his actions. He is really stupid to do this when the war is almost over! and disrespect his superiors?? how was he raised even to act like an insolent brat. He needs to get over himself, he got his 10 minutes in the spotlight, did he need money that bad to do such an ignorant thing
Great to know the article about the Lt. Col. Davis's 'Manufacturing Consent'.If you have more information like this.Please update me time to time now.
I'm not going to lie, I'm really impressed. Its rare for me to find something on the internet that's as entertaining and intriguing as what you've got here.

Assistant prosecutor Molly Kettler hugs Charles McGinnis, father of murder victim Abreeya Brown, at the conclusion of sentencing for the four convicted of the killing and torture of his daughter and her friend Ashley Conaway. (John T. Greilick / The Detroit News)
Detroit — After calling one man a "merciless mercenary" and another a "disciple of destruction," a judge on Friday handed down life sentences to three men and lengthy prison time to a fourth in the murders of two young Hamtramck women.
Wayne County Circuit Judge Vonda Evans sentenced Reginald Brown on first-degree murder charges Friday before sentencing Jeremy Brown and Brandon Cain, whom she called the "mastermind" of the murderous plot, to life in prison as well. Brian Lee was given 45-80 years for his role.
The four were convicted of torturing and murdering Abreeya Brown, 18, and Ashley Conaway, 22, earlier this year.
The defendants were brought in separately Friday for a sentencing hearing that lasted nearly three hours. Lawyers for Cain and Reginald Brown argued their presentence reports were inaccurate. Lee's attorney maintained there was no evidence that tied his client to the case, but Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Molly Kettler rebuffed his claims.
They were also sentenced on other charges, including torture and unlawful imprisonment.
Prosecutors say Cain was the ringleader in the plot. Reginald Brown was portrayed as the general contractor and his cousin, Jeremy Brown, as the subcontractor and lookout man.
Evans said that while Cain was a "gifted" person who could persuade others, he "used it in the wrong way."
Latrina Conaway, an older sister of Ashley Conaway, said Cain was a natural leader but a master manipulator of people in a 20-block radius of a northwest side neighborhood.
"You could have led people to be better, but instead you led them to take two innocent young women 'cause Ashley did not want to go home with you," Latrina Conaway said during the sentencing hearing. "You became angry at Ashley. How could you do that? She was the sweetest thing."
The women, best friends, were found shot to death execution style in a shallow grave in Eliza Howell Park near Telegraph and West McNichols.
The pair had been kidnapped at gunpoint outside their Hamtramck home on Andrus Street on Feb. 28 and their bodies found nearly a month later.
Prosecutors, police and family say the women were killed for going to the police in connection with a shooting involving Cain and Lee that occurred in early February that left Conaway, Cain's girlfriend at the time, with a minor head wound.
On Friday, extra deputies were brought into Evans' courtroom, which was packed with family members of the victims, defendants and investigators.
Before Reginald Brown's sentence was read , Latrina Conaway addressed Brown, saying: "I ask that you have no rest ... that you remember what you did."
Abreeya's mother, Lois Brown, said: "It's not about the impact (their murders) had on me. It's about what you did to my child."
Evans called Reginald Brown a "merciless mercenary."
The judge told Jeremy Brown he chose "loyalty over liberty" following his cousin, Reginald, into the kidnapping and murder plot.
Evans called Lee a "disciple of destruction" to his "master of doom" (Cain).
Abreeya's father, Charles McGinnis, told Lee that he "destroyed my world" when he and his friends murdered his daughter and her friend.
But Lee said, "I am an innocent man," and Reginald Brown said, "I'm not guilty of these crimes."
A fifth man, Miguel Rodriguez, was sentenced last week.
Family members planned Friday to visit the graves of the murdered women.

Please also check this CN post. By running the "USB connection chain" displaying software, you can identify how your "heavy bandwidth" consuming USB dongles are arranged.
I am not claiming USB bandwidth is the only bottleneck that will be THE issue; other components in your PC (CPU, memory, and hard drive) can also be issues as well.
By using that USB displaying tool, the goal is trying to spread the traffic to three different root hubs, if you can make it happen that way.
Three big bandwidth eaters (isochronous feeds at CCIR656 rate) competing over the same fixed sized pipe can be an issue.
Clear Skies!

Hopefully your CPU can be swapped out for a quad core, that's always a good idea if one can be found inexpensively and extends the life of a system. The GPU can be upgraded and you can put in a solid state drive.

Al, I think a video card will help you a lot. As long as you have an open slot, you could try one with 1gb RAM. Nothing fancy is needed because it's much less intensive than gaming, a $50 one is fine. At some point, all the Windows updates and spam overwhelm an older system, no matter what the CPU speed, RAM, etc. I also only use Miloslick 1.x because I couldn't switch between frame grabbers without shutting it down.
I am running 2 frame grabbers on one USB 2.0 long repeater chain and another on another long run USB repeater. I find the system handles this load ok until I use splitcam to broadcast on NSN.. Then it just hangs and slows down huge... So I think it's the splitcam and NSN that crushes the speed and responsiveness... Is this a GPU or a CPU or a RAM problem you think?

I think the problem is the PC is having to do the mpeg encoding on raw video and its eating all the bandwidth. You can buy a box that does the mpeg encoding for you and will reduce loading on PC over 90%. The WinTV-HVR-1955 is one box than can encode mpeg. Its meant for cable/antenna TV, but should work on a video camera.

That is true Charles, but if I understand correctly most are trying to get the best picture quality so encoding into a compressed format goes against that. Having said that, if there are ancillary channels that quality isn't as important then this would be a good solution. For example, I'm thinking of putting one of those LN300 based astro cams on my Celestron Firstscope as a finder, in such a case I don't really care about quality but mostly sensitivity is what I'm looking for.

Just when you thought you'd seen about everything in the world if digital photography, famed camera manufacturer
Hasselblad drops the digital SLR to totally end all digital SLRs. And what's more, the 22 megapixel Hasselblad H1D
forgoes storage cards entirely, favoring an integrated 40GB hard drive (which is entirely necessary, considering that
each of the images it produces weighs 132MB). Yet somehow, even given the size, we're wondering how practical it is—but
come on, what's practical about 22 megapixels anyway? We live in times of glorious tech excess.

A lot of automobiles today are equipped with a gadget named a catalytic converter or cat con abbreviated, an apparatus that changes many harmful exhaust emissions into safer byproducts. If you have a broken or spent Oldsmobile Bravada catalytic converter, you must get a replacement item right away to prevent expelling poisonous gases into the environment.
Quite a few people object to adding a catalytic converter as these are believed to hinder the flow of exhaust, bringing about lowered capabilities. Although it could be valid in several instances, most catalytic converters for your Oldsmobile Bravada will not lower motor efficiency. In case you notice fractures and dents on the cat con body, increased harmful emission levels, and buildup of carbon deposits, then these indicate that a replacement is required to keep your Oldsmobile Bravada environment-friendly. Don't buy just about any alternative item-be sure to buy only the best-quality catalytic converter for your Oldsmobile Bravada.
Fortunately, there are lots of catalytic converters sold in the market these days, with numerous well-known makers to select from including Davico, Catco, or Eastern. We have all the top vehicle products at cost-effective price tags only here at Parts Train, so you now know where to shop for the Oldsmobile Bravada catalytic converter you require.

Word from Auto Express is that General Motors has given Vauxhall the go-ahead on a new coupe project based on the Epsilon II platform. That may mean that a similar model is headed to the land of the free under the Tri-Shield badge. After all, wherever Vauxhall goes these days, Buick is sure to follow. In the old country, the upcoming coupe is rumored to pack a 2.8-liter turbo V6 under its pretty little bonnet, though there's no telling what a Buick version would rely on for power. Auto Express r

Police search Issaquah home for man linked to North Bend murders
April 25, 2012
By Warren Kagarise
NEW — 10:30 a.m. April 25, 2012
Police searched a home in Issaquah's Summerhill Village neighborhood Monday for a man linked to a pair of North Bend murders.
King County Sheriff's Office investigators searched a condominium in the 23000 block of Summer Hill Lane, agency spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West said.
(The neighborhood is on the Sammamish Plateau near the intersection of Southeast Issaquah-Fall City Road and 238th Avenue Southeast.)
The occupant, a relative of the North Bend family, asked for police to search the home for Peter A. Keller, West added. The occupant had been out of town during the murders, and believed Keller could be hiding inside the Issaquah home.
Police did not locate Keller at the home, and the search continues.
The sheriff's office identified Keller, 41, as a person of interest in the shooting deaths of Lynnettee Keller, 41, and Kaylene Keller, 18, at the family's rural North Bend home.
Lynnettee Keller and Kaylene Keller suffered gunshot wounds to the head.
Eastside Fire & Rescue responded to the house early Sunday after neighbors reported smoke emanating from the structure. Firefighters discovered the slain women inside, plus seven gasoline cans scattered throughout the house containing varying amounts of gasoline.
Investigators said Keller is a frequent hiker on trails along the Interstate 90 corridor. On Tuesday, police asked for information about a red Toyota pickup often parked at trailheads in East King County.

Ranger Graduates From Guatemala's Kaibil School
Very cool. We had a couple dudes in my Company graduate from Colombian Lancero school. They said that you had to be in a patrol base by 5pm during Jungle Phase because it gets so dark under triple canopy. I also heard all kinds of horror stories that really made me want to go and check it. This is the first time I've ever heard of any Americans going to the Kaibil School so I'm sure SSG Rodriguez had an interesting experience to say the least. -Jack
FORT BENNING, Ga. (USASOC News Service, Dec. 18, 2012) – For the first time in more than 25 years, an American Soldier has graduated from the Guatemalan special operations Kaibil School, in Poptún, Guatemala.

Congrats to SSG Rodriguez, these are a rough bunch. I have worked with these folks many times on private contract in Guata since 1994. I never attended thier course nor did I want to at anytime...There were real problems diplomatically with them and the US for various reasons. It's good to see a level of normalcy taking hold with regard to relations between our forces again. For many years the Israels ran the game in this AO and many restrictions on us and what we could do. I have seen more and more Americans popping around on occasion these days. Respectfully
The link to the article is not working on my end. error 404.

Good work, Sgt Rodriguez! I hope he didn't have to sleep with one eye open as a good number of Kaibiles have left to work for the Zetas and other narco groups over the last few years. It's unfortunate the amount of collusion between many Latin American gov'ts and narco groups.
I would hazard it's a safe bet that Ranger Rodriguez will be going to selection in the near future and has a very bright future. Best wishes.

The National Association of the Deaf has sued the University of Maryland at College Park, charging that it is violating the Americans With Disabilities Act by failing to provide captions in athletic facilities with the information being provided via public address systems. The association says that it has told Maryland previously that it should add caption systems, and the suit asks that they be added to the large scoreboards that convey other information for the fans.
"Athletic events are tremendously popular for the general public to attend, and this is true also for deaf and hard of hearing fans," said a statement from the association's CEO, Howard A. Rosenblum, "All professional and collegiate sports teams need to recognize that many fans, not just those who are deaf or hard of hearing, need captioning in sports stadiums and arenas to understand what is being announced. Every sports team should implement quality captioning systems visible to everyone not only to comply with the law but also to meet the needs of everyone."
A spokesman for the university told The Washington Post that Maryland believes it complies with the law by creating a website for the captions, so that fans with hearing disabilities can read the captions on their smartphones or tablets. The spokesman also said that Maryland will provide game-day loans of tablets to those who need them.

I want to thank those working at the Auditorium Theatre for a recent performance of Memphis.
We thought our tickets were going to be in a pretty good place, but they turned out to be way up in the back of the second balcony. That night there were hundreds of high school students up there. They were not doing a thing wrong, but being busy. I wondered how we were ever going to see and hear the performance.
A supervisor came up and took us to some empty seats way down by the stage, and we had a really enjoyable evening because the Rochester Broadway Theatre League people realized that we were sort of out of place where we were sitting. I want to thank those who were watching out for us that night. Rochester is a good place.

Attracting and retaining nurses in primary care
Peacock, Richard and Drennan, Vari and Andrews, Sarah and Sidhu, Rajinder (2006) Attracting and retaining nurses in primary care. British Journal of Community Nursing, 11 (6). pp. 242-246. ISSN 1462-4753
Full text is not in this repository.
This item is available in the Library Catalogue
Peacock contributed a systematic review of the literature which provided the foundation for this Department of Health funded project. There is increasing demand for nurses to work in primary care. This is driven in part by the need to retain current levels but also by the modernisation plans for primary care services, which require new roles for nurses, new ways of working and more nurses in primary care settings. While campaigns for increased recruitment of hospital nurses and doctors has been largely successful in recent years, primary care has still to see the impact. This article reports on a Department of Health (England) funded project that aimed to identify strategies and exemplars to assist primary care trusts (PCTs) and the workforce development confederations (WDCs) in strategic health authorities in attracting and retaining nurses to primary care at registered nurse level. It reports on the range of initiatives identified, the perceived benefits and challenges. It concludes by proposing a strategic model for planning for the recruitment and retention of primary care nurses.

Bone Photos by Francois RobertPosted on April 29, 2013
Francois Robert was at an auction in rural Michigan. It was the mid 1990s. A school was selling off supplies, and Robert was looking to buy some furniture for his studio. "I was interested in buying some lockers, and they had three for $50." Two of the lockers were empty, but not the third. When Robert opened it up, he found a human skeleton.
The skeleton, fully articulated and in reasonably good condition, must have served as a teaching aid in a science class. Francois Robert is a photographer. He took the lockers back to his studio in Chicago. It took him years to figure out what to do with the skeleton.
"Bones have always fascinated me," says Robert. His portfolio has always included images of animal skulls, recovered from the desert. By 2007, the recession was taking its toll. "I had so much extra time. What was I going to do with it?" He turned to the skeleton in his locker.
Since then, Robert has spent hundreds of hours working with those bones, arranging them painstakingly into striking, iconic shapes, each five or six feet wide, and photographing them with a 4x5 Hasselblad rigged to a boom to provide a bird's eye view. He calls the resulting images "Stop the Violence." Each shot takes a full day to set up. "I was on my knees for all of 2008," Robert remembers.
The results are beautiful and haunting. Robert confesses that more than anything else he is motivated by the fear of death. "The bones are something left behind, a form of memory," he says. "I try to treat that person on my studio floor with respect."

I just discovered ReciPress last night and I'm amazed. Thank you Tammy!
I'm planning to use for a project which will hopefully help me make some profit, so I'm very happy that I see you're supporting your plugin's upgrades enthusiastically in this forum.
I was wondering if you'd include the following features in your plugin, either in the free or in the pro version:
1. Multiple recipes in one post.
2. Multiple cuisines/courses in one recipe.
3. Language support: My site is in Greek and I've hardcoded the translations of the output (e.g. servings, cost, etc.). I'm pretty sure these translations will be lost in future updates of Recipress, so is there a way that they won't be lost?

Livingston - Reaction from Michigan lawmakers to President Bush's announcement Wednesday that he plans to send more than 20,000 additional troops to Iraq was lukewarm, at best.
U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, who has been a supporter of the war from the beginning, said he has concerns about what supporters are calling a troop "surge." Critics call the plan an "escalation" of the four-year conflict.
"While I have concerns that a surge in troops may not have the desired outcome, I do believe the commander in chief needs to be able to make his case to the nation," Rogers said in a written statement before Bush's speech.
Rogers had been briefed Tuesday on the contents of the speech, his spokeswoman Sylvia Warner said.
Rogers statement continued: "America's military men and women who have sacrificed so much must know that the new way forward in Iraq is a plan in which the military mission and the rules of engagement are clearly defined, and specific benchmarks are outlined for Iraqis to take over so our troops can come home."
Criticism from other Republicans was more stark, although many GOP leaders in Congress offered their support.
In December, when the Iraq Study Group's report came out, Rogers said he agreed with its finding that diplomatic outreach to Syria and Iran would be helpful.
The Bush administration has been reluctant to do that, and the president specifically said he wouldn't do it in Wednesday's speech. In fact, the said the U.S. would act against countries meddling in Iraq.
Rogers was not available Wednesday to answer more detailed questions about diplomacy or Iraq, Warner said.
U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Holland, supported the move, albeit cautiously.
"President Bush's proposal to send additional members of the U.S. armed forces to Iraq requires careful evaluation as Congress debates the way forward in the coming weeks," Hoekstra said. "It cannot be considered in a vacuum, but in the context of its impact on American security and our partnerships in the region. The risks associated with failure are very significant, including providing a base for radical militant Islamists and greater regional conflict. But we need to outline exactly what success should look like and develop a plan to measure it."
U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Menominee, wasn't impressed by the plan.
"While the country voted for change, the president seems to be staking out a course of more of the same," Stupak said. "I did not hear anything tonight that makes me believe this escalation in forces will be more successful than the previous troop escalations. Since June, this administration has twice escalated the number of troops in Baghdad and neither of these troop surges had the desired effect of bringing stability and security to Iraq."
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Detroit, has been a longtime critic of the war, was also unmoved by the president's speech Wednesday night.
"I oppose increasing the number of U.S. troops in Iraq as the president outlined. An escalation of American troops is a flawed strategy for two reasons: it implies that there is a military solution to the violence when what's needed is a political solution among the Iraqi leaders, and it suggests that the future of Iraq is in our hands, not theirs. More promises by the Iraqis to take responsibility for their own future and more statements by the President on the need for doing so are no substitute for U.S. actions to force political compromises by the Iraqi," said Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "The president did not set benchmarks for the Iraqis that have hard deadlines and clear consequences for failure."

DENVER (AP) Authorities are investigating after a recreational vehicle exploded in a grocery store parking lot in the Denver suburb of Thornton.
Police say the RV had been broken down for several days, and the owners were working on the fuel pump when the vehicle burst into flames and exploded at the King Soopers on East 120th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard on Saturday afternoon. KUSA-TV reports no one was injured, and the blast is believed to be accidental.
Fire officials say a nearby car was damaged from heat generated by the explosion.

Cordtlandt Lanes in Cordtland Manor. / File photo by Frank Becerra Jr./The Journal News
On a summer night, there's nothing like bowling a few frames with your friends. And if you can get a strike or two? All the better.
Our online partner HudsonValley.Metromix.com tracked down the biggest and boldest bowling alleys in the region. So get out there and hit the boards. Don't worry if you can't remember if your bowling-shoe size matches your regular shoe size. Just don't throw a gutter ball. Here are a few places to get your game on.
AMF White Plains Lanes
About halfway between Westchester County Center and an entrance to I-287 is AMF White Plains Lanes. Xtreme Bowling - which includes lights, music, bowling challenges, food and drinks - is one of the place's biggest nightlife draws.
47 Tarrytown Road, White Plains. 914-948-2677; amf.com/whiteplainslanes.
Cortlandt Lanes
Sure, Moonlight Bowling is fun with its glow-in-the-dark goodness, prizes and hot music. But this place goes the extra frame when it comes to creativity. Get a morning breakfast special on weekends, when you can get two hours of bowling and breakfast for just $15 per person. On Fridays between noon and midnight, you can spin a wheel to determine how much you pay for your bowling (free to $4). For an even more reliable bargain, bowl on Sunday nights from 6 to 9 for just $2.50 per game.
2192 Crompond Road,
Cortlandt Manor. 914-737-4550; cortlandtlanes.com
Homefield Bowl, Yonkers

Jefferson Valley Bowl, Yorktown
After a recent renovation, that includes automatic scoring, new carpet and new lanes, Jefferson Valley Bowl offers a clean, simple environment. Plus, in the summer, it's easy to get a slot for open bowling every day from 9 a.m. to midnight.

Hi Tor Lanes, West Haverstraw
Built in 1957, Hi Tor Lanes' vintage exterior has all the look and charm of a "Mad Men" episode. Things are a bit more modern on Saturday nights, however, when Moonlite Bowl takes over with a live DJ, colored-pin prizes, glow-in-the-dark lanes and smoke machines.
45 Route 9W, West Haverstraw. 845-429-8000;
Lucky Strike, West Nyack

New City Bowl
Starting as just a bowling alley in the early '60s, New City Bowl added batting cages in 1998. These days, the place has 24 lanes with automated scoring and glow-in-the-dark events at night, as well as a full-service bar, snack bar, lounge, pro shop, dartboards and a pool table.
90 North Main St., New City.
845-634-4977; newcitybowlandbattingcages.com

From 4 to 8 p.m. Sundays, up to 12 people can bowl in a single lane for a total cost of $30 and shoe rental is free for up to four people per lane.
23 Old Route 6, Carmel.

A certain Division of an Auxiliary gave a dance not long since. I went and looked on. What did they dance? Two-step, two-step and two-step. How did they dance? When we used to waltz, we clasped arms easily, took a nice, respectable position, and danced in a poetry of motion. Now, girls, how do you two-step? In nine cases out of ten the dear girl reposes her head on the young man's shoulder, or else their faces press each other. He presses her to his breast as closely as possible, and actually carries her around. Disgraceful? I should say so. Do you wonder at the ministers preaching on dancing as a sin, when it looks like this to a woman like myself who believes in dancing and has danced all her life? Mothers, as you love your girls, forbid them to dance after this manner. [letter in the ladies' section of "Locomotive Engineers' Monthly Journal," March 1898]
To the Two Step may be accredited, serious injury to the Waltz, awkward and immodest positions assumed in round dancing, also as being a prominent factor in overcrowding the profession and causing a general depression in the business of the legitimate Master of Dancing. ["The Director," March 1898]
concerning which Touffon ye are to vnderstand, that in the East Indies often times, there are not stormes as in other countreys; but euery 10. or 12. yeeres there are such tempests and stormes, that it is a thing incredible, but to those that haue seene it, neither do they know certainly what yeere they wil come. ["The voyage and trauell of M. Caesar Fredericke, Marchant of Venice, into the East India, and beyond the Indies"]
This sense of the word, in reference to titanic storms in the East Indies, first appears in Europe in Portuguese in the mid-16th century. It aparently is from tufan, a word in Arabic, Persian, and Hindi meaning "big cyclonic storm." Yule ["Hobson-Jobson," London, 1903] writes that "the probability is that Vasco [da Gama] and his followers got the tufao ... direct from the Arab pilots."
From the thighs downward he was nothing but coiled serpents, and his arms which, when he spread them out, reached a hundred leagues in either direction, had countless serpents' heads instead of hands. His brutish ass-head touched the stars, his vast wings darkened the sun, fire flashed from his eyes, and flaming rocks hurtled from his mouth. [Robert Graves, "Typhon," in "The Greek Myths"]
The Greek term [typhos] (smoke, mist, fog) was employed by Hippocrates to define a confused state of the intellect, with a tendency to stupor (stupor attonitus); and in this sense it is aptly applied to typhus fever with its slow cerebration and drowsy stupor. Boissier de Sauvages first (in 1760) called this fever "typhus," and the name was adopted by Cullen of Edinburgh in 1769. Previous to the time of de Sauvages typhus was known as "Pestilential" or "Putrid Fever," or by some name suggested by the eruption, or expressive of the locality in which it appeared, as "Camp," "Jail," "Hospital," or "Ship Fever" (Murchison). [Thomas Clifford, ed., "A System of Medicine," New York, 1897]Related: typhous (adj.).
In the exact sense, a tyrant is an individual who arrogates to himself the royal authority without having a right to it. This is how the Greeks understood the word 'tyrant': they applied it indifferently to good and bad princes whose authority was not legitimate. [Rousseau, "The Social Contract"]
Originally in Greek the word was not applied to old hereditary sovereignties (basileiai) and despotic kings, but it was used of usurpers, even when popular, moderate, and just (such as Cypselus of Corinth), however it soon became a word of reproach in the usual modern sense. The spelling with -t arose in Old French by analogy with present participle endings in -ant. Fem. form tyranness is recorded from 1590 (Spenser); Medieval Latin had tyrannissa (late 14c.).

It's a ruff life for Bow Wow.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest, but a rep for the 24-year-old rapper tells E! News that this "ongoing dispute" is under control.
So just why is the hip hop star in trouble with the law in the first place?
He's in contempt of court. Back in 2009, the rapper was ordered by a Tennessee court to pay fees to a tour bus company after allegedly not paying his bill. Then on October 20, 2011, a judge in Georgia ordered him to produce documents for the other side. (The tour bus company transferred the suit from Tennessee to Georgia, where Bow Wow lives.)
He's failed to produce the documents, and as a result, the tour bus company filed a motion to have him held in contempt; the judge has since granted the motion and ordered Bow Wow to be taken into custody. (He was also ordered to pay for the other side's legal fees, but it's unclear whether he adhered to this request)
Bow Wow cryptically tweeted a picture of himself in a jail cell on Monday with the caption, "Been here before…. Haha"
"All I know is im on a world tour and I gotta sold out show in Paris France tomar," he wrote. "All they doing is making my album gain momentum."
The rapper's rep told us he "recently hired a new legal team to resolve this and another pending legal matter" and that "his attorneys are handling the affairs through the proper channel and plan to have everything resolved soon."

They're coming off a summer in which 11 players weren't brought back to defend the Cup, including several impact players who not only were fan favorites, but key role players. Hulking 6-foot-4, 257-pound net screener Dustin Byfuglien, hard-nosed multi-Cup winner Andrew Ladd, playmaking forward Kris Versteeg and unflappable goalie Antti Niemi are just a few of the big names on the list of departures.
What's not as obvious is the good news for the Hawks, at least as they see it -- despite adding veteran goalie Marty Turco and returning their top-five point scorers and seven of the top 10, not many outside Chicago believe they can repeat. And for a team full of young stars who thrive on proving people wrong, that's exactly the kind of motivation they need.
Who needs "hair of the dog" to cure a Stanley Cup hangover when there's plenty of doubt to go around?
"As far as I've heard, no one is picking us to win this year, which is something that will work in our favor."
-- Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews
They're ready to prove themselves all over again, even though it seems like just last week they were parading down Michigan Avenue, with celebratory confetti making the city look like a giant snow globe. Before long they will raise the first Cup banner in Chicago since 1961, and then the fight will be on to do it again.
Defenseman Brian Campbell thinks the Hawks will be up to the task. There are a slew of hungry, young prospects on the cusp of joining the mix, plus a few select veteran additions that could be key contributors -- starting with Turco, who was signed to replace Niemi when the club walked away from his arbitration award. Turco's puck-handling proficiency and knack for stretch passes could be a dangerous combination with the Hawks' fast-skating, puck-moving defensemen -- especially against teams that like to forecheck deep in the zone.
Changes like that are what have players like Campbell confident in the possibilities.
"You look at the pieces that we have in place and you add some different elements through trades and signings, at the beginning of the year you'd have to say we're a contender," he said. "I think we're going to be a contender for a lot of years in a row, and that's all you want is the opportunity to be a contender for a lot of years."
Forward Troy Brouwer sees no reason to disagree, even with a shortened offseason to heal the bumps and bruises of a daunting championship run.
"You don't get as much of a chance to recover," he said, "but when you take the proper amount of time off … there should be no reason why a team such as ours, with so many good players -- and good returning players -- can't win the Stanley Cup again."
Doubters think Chicago will fall short because the Hawks dropped so much talent and proven depth in order to get under the $59.4 million salary cap. The Hawks, meanwhile, see motivation being the biggest potential pitfall.
"I've talked to some (other) coaches who have won the Cup as head coaches," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "The one thing about it is that you want to make sure throughout training camp you gauge what's going on, and as you march into the season you're guarded for that hangover. I think the freshness of the new guys coming in could alleviate that concern, and hopefully that's the case."
Motivated newcomers, plus the star-studded "core group" just might be enough for the Hawks to again compete for the Cup.
"It's still going to be a really good team, and we're still going to have a chance at winning the Stanley Cup again," Brouwer said. "That's what we're focusing on now. It's tough to see friends go, but at the same time we've got to focus on ourselves. We've got a lot of good players coming up, and they're going to be real important keys to our success this year. They're excited to win a Stanley Cup."

"Diamonds aren't a girl's best friend, freedom is!" -@TheRealCamilleG #TBT #RHOBH pic.twitter.com/jf73XPOHcV
— Evolution Media (@evolutionusa) April 3, 2014
Camille Grammer starred on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" for three seasons, and while she stepped out of her role on the show last year, a recent report claimed she decided to return to the series for the upcoming fifth season.
"Producers have approached Camille about coming back to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in a part-time role," a source told the site. "She is interested in returning in a small role, because she likes her time with the women, but she doesn't want to expose too much of her personal life and her children aren't allowed to film."
At the time, it was assumed Grammer would be seen on the show in a "friend of the Housewives" role or guest role, as opposed to the "official Housewife" role which she held during seasons one and two.
However, according to our source, there is no truth to Grammer's return.
Speaking exclusively to CableTV, the source confirmed that Grammer is "not coming back to housewives." And that means she won't be seen "as a housewife or as a guest role."
Following season two of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Grammer announced she would not be returning to the show, but later changed her mind and rejoined the show for season three as a "friend of the Housewives." Then, ahead of season four, she officially quit the series, choosing to focus on her family, including son Jude and daughter Mason, and her health.
Although Grammer is not returning to "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," she is maintaining friendships with her former co-stars, including Kyle Richards and Brandi Glanville. Last weekend, the three ladies were spotted out together in West Hollywood, visiting both The Abbey and P.U.M.P. Lounge, which is owned by Lisa Vanderpump, another star of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Throughout their night together, the trio posed for a handful of photos, some of which they shared online.
The ladies' night out certainly added to the speculation of Grammer's return but, courtesy of our exclusive source, CableTV can assure you Grammer will no longer be seen on the Bravo series.

SA tennis players forced to play abroadComment on this story
Johannesburg – South Africa's Davis Cup captain John-Laffnie de Jager says the lack of local tennis tournaments poses a threat for development in the country.
"The system in South Africa is not good for our players, and if players want to do well in tennis, they have to go play for an American college to develop," De Jager said.
"The system in this country with university tennis is not good. They don't have competitive tennis and yet you have to play against players who will push you at your game if you want to improve."
He said local players often struggled with their careers when they turned professional and it was too expensive to fund their careers from South Africa. They were forced to sign up for scholarship opportunities abroad.
South Africa's top singles player Kevin Anderson, currently ranked 22nd in the world, played three seasons of college tennis in the US at the University of Illinois before pursuing his professional tennis career full-time.
Nik Scholtz, who represented South Africa over the weekend in the Davis Cup, is also based in the US where he plays college tennis at the University of Mississippi.
"In an American coach, you have the right coach, you get sponsored and you have a full technical team that takes care of you."
De Jager said more effort was needed in ensuring players were properly developed in South Africa.
There should be more ITF Futures events on the local calendar, which would give many unranked players opportunities to enter tournaments and earn crucial points to climb the rankings, he said.
Futures events fall under the ITF Men's Circuit and represent the lowest entry tournament for professionals who look to earn ATP ranking points.
They enable young professionals to progress onto the ATP Challenger Tour and ultimately the full ATP World Tour.
While South Africa had hosted five Futures events during 2012 and 2013, there were no further events planned for 2014.
"Futures is the best and cheapest way of developing tennis in our country. With Futures, we are giving 15-16 players an opportunity to play each week and that's great for development," De Jager said.
"We know sponsors just want big events, because that's where they get all their publicity, but if you look at all the strong tennis nations in the world, they have a massive amount of Futures.
"Our kids need to learn how to play in our country at altitude. It gives them an advantage to get points and when they travel and play overseas they get more points.
"Government also needs to help the cause and pump more money in because that develops skills."
South Africa defeated Monaco 3-2 in the Davis Cup Euro-Africa Group Two first round tie over the weekend in Pretoria. They face Lithuania, at home, in a second round tie in April. – Sapa

Yeah, this reeks of troll bait. While I'll concede that these ads aren't as brilliant as the I'm a Mac--I'm a PC ads, they effectively show off the phone's new features. Of course, I was one of the few people that liked the Genius ads too. I thought they showed off the fact that Apple offers free assistance and classes to its customers while the competition doesn't.

Fruita is the Grand Valley mountain biking city putting the area on the map, but the town of Palisade is hoping to get in on the fun, too. Town officials are planning a mountain bike race for June 11th that could lead to more recognition of what they say are some of the Grand Valley's great trails, but putting the event together has not been an entirely smooth road.
The original route for the race took bikers into the watershed area above town, up the flank of the Grand Mesa, but some landowners on Rapid Creek Road do not want the race crossing their properties. Race planners are now considering an alternate route in the Horse Mountain area, south of town.
The race will have three lengths for different ability levels, from 10 to 28 miles. Organizers say they'll start with a small family–friendly event this year, but hope to develop this into a larger mountain biking festival in years to come.

Raw foo specialty in a cafe is not a bad thing. There are lots of cafe these days offers raw foods because there are lots of people who are now more into raw diets. I myself doesn't eat raw foods at first but then as I taste green smoothies I am drag to eating nothing but raw.
Best Raw Food Restaurant Orange County 2007 - Good Mood Food Café
Leave your expectations at the door when you enter the tiny Zen space at Good Mood Food Caf?. Don't let the idea of "raw" discourage you, though?what you'll find here is scrumptious, unusual and energizing. Diners can munch on vigorous salads, their own sandwich creations, or such Good Mood favorites as Ursula's Famous Nutburger (a hearty patty of mashed raw vegetables and nuts piled high, with just-ripe slices of avocado, date-carmelized onions, pickles and plenty of greens). Save room for dessert: You'll be amazed at how good an apple pie pressed into a nut "crust" can taste without an ounce of wheat, milk or eggs.

Let me start out by saying that I am a big fan of Japanese anime. Cowboy Bebop, Paranoia Agent and Bleach are key words when explaining my favorite television shows. The bright colors, exaggerated facial features, extravagant costumes and character design, and the unique humor found in this particular genre has turned me into a bit of an anime junkie.
I am particularly fond of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon. The story of average students-turned-superheroes with color-coordinated outfits, superpowers, and astrological connections have made both the manga and anime versions of Takeuchi's idea incredibly popular.
And who wouldn't want to be one of the Sailor Senshi? With bright miniskirts (or seifuku, for Japanese schoolgirl outfits) and knee-high socks, the characters of Sailor Moon are truly adorable. Yet there is something slightly perverse in the fact that these characters are originally meant to be young girls in their early teens. What is it about this age bracket and their innocence that is so fascinating to us?
The idea of purity intermingling with sexuality (intentional or not) has been present for ages. With media stimuli in the form of music, fashion, magazines, television, and other mediums providing an endless stream of imagery and expectations, the perception of women and girls has changed to become something inherently sexual.
While popular culture isn't anywhere as conservative as it once was, there are still undercurrents of traditional values that have yet to disappear. One extreme is the feminine archetype of overt sexuality usually displayed through provocative clothing and behavior. In contrast, there is the "virgin" standard portraying females as pure, innocent, and naïve when sexually inexperienced.
The constant sexualization of the female body has ultimately crafted a feminine dichotomy: part sex kitten, part baby doll. Cultural icons exude this duality, sometimes prominently, other times with much more subtlety. The girlish yet sexy 1930s cartoon character Betty Boop is famous for her representation of both female roles. And who could forget the disturbing world of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita? The creepy story of a coquettish young girl and her much older legal guardian is burned into many a reader's mind.
Even my beloved Sailor Moon is liable to fall into this category from time to time. Those barely-there outfits may be adorable, but I cannot ignore the sexual implications that lie within such a popular anime.
This brings us to examine the connection in modern culture with what some refer to as the "virgin-whore complex," a belief that women must either be debased to be desired or saintly to be respected, with no middle ground. This notion was championed by the infamous psychologist Sigmund Freud, who dubbed it the Madonna-whore complex, in which men were unable to view women as anything more than one sexual extreme.
Cultural values often raise young women to believe their sexual inexperience is their utmost worth. This lack of experience (and penetration, let's be frank) is regarded as "purity" and "innocence." Yet in my opinion, there is really no significant difference between a woman who has had sex and one who hasn't.
Some will rely on the argument of intact hymens to establish a distinction between virgins and non-virgins. While we don't need to elaborate on the issue, anatomical studies have shown that relying on an "intact" hymen is not a good litmus test for proving virginity, as exercise, use of tampons, masturbation, as well as sexual penetration, can cause tears to the tissue. Virginity is still so highly praised in our society that hymen reconstruction surgeries are now possible.
Not only is the obsession with virginity creepy and invasive, it is also largely founded on double-standards and misogyny. While male virginity is insignificant, even embarrassing to some, female virginity is supposed to be cherished. Closely tied with slut-shaming, the virgin-whore complex posits that while women should be virgins to earn moral purity, they should also be sexually desirable to men, whose role in society is to lose their virginities in symbolic acts of their virility, strength and masculinity. Quite complicated and hypocritical.
If pop culture is anything to base our judgment off of, having sexual experience before marriage isn't an absolute taboo anymore. So why the obsession with virginity and purity in a sex-fueled world? This is a reflection of the twisted dichotomy implicit in our culture, where the word "feminine" is largely synonymous with "girly." Yet to be feminine, society expects you to be a woman, and many women are sexual creatures, aren't they?
The obsession with purity when concerned with women is misogynistic and unsettling. It is a cultural paradox that needs to be examined on a public level. It is incredibly contradictory when girls are expected to play with dolls such as Bratz that put emphasis on commonly sexualized features of the female body, yet grow up to retain naivety and purity. Not only are these values expected of females, they are forced on women for purposes they will not benefit from.
Does it matter what the status of my body is when the right to it will be given to only those I see fit? Will I stop loving schoolgirl outfits or Sailor Moon, even if they are mildly reflective of this female sexual dichotomy? Probably not. Those miniskirts are too damn cute, whether I'm a "virgin" or a "whore."
Do you feel virginity is a genuinely physical concept, or is it just another cultural construct that oppresses women? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Ke$ha's been going through a bit of a makeunder lately. In recent months the pop star has hit red carpet events in somewhat tamer fashions (sans the side-butt LBD).
But even though she may have ditched the wild wardrobe and blue lipstick, according to the star there's one thing that's never gonna change.
"For me, I like showing off my legs because I work really hard on them," she told Self magazine. "So you will rarely find me wearing pants."
Which explains why for her cover shoot for the July issue, the 26-year-old opted for sexy onesies and high heels. Plus, inside the magazine she also shares her five favorite exercises for toning up her legs.
Besides her anti-bottoms stance, the singer also keeps it real when it comes to her diet and fitness.
"I don't have a perfect body but I think it' really important to celebrate what you've got," she says. "I'm not always perfect but I try to keep a balance in my life."
That means steering clear of weight measurements.
"I stay far away from a scale because it's not about a number, it's about how I feel. I try to eat healthy because it makes me feel good."

Measuring outcomes
Generic Learning and Social Outcomes
The Inspiring Learning Framework helps museums, libraries and archives to capture and evidence their impact by identifying generic learning and social outcomes for individuals and communities.
This section of the site will help you identify
- Clear aims and outcomes of the activity/project you are going to evaluate
- Which generic learning or social outcome will help you measure these aims
- What methods and tools would be best to use - the researcher's toolkit can also help you
- Your capacity to manage the data you will generate
- How you will analyse your results - the Inspiring Learning checkists can also help you
REMEMBER you do not have to use every outcome when evaluating your project/activity.
You could use your findings to
- Develop and improve your organisation or programme
- Develop new partnerships
- Support a funding bid

I have a pattern that is the correct size for me. However, I would like to make it in a stretch knit and the pattern calls for a woven. I read somewhere one time to just make the pattern a size smaller. However, my size is the smallest size on the pattern. I would just buy the envelope that has the smaller size, but this is a pattern I bought at a thrift store, so it is way out of print. If I just grade it down a size, do you think that would work? -- Edited on 9/25/12 3:15 PM --
I have made one dress recently in a knit. The pattern said you could use a knit or woven. It was my first ever knit dress. I wanted to play it safe, so only went down (at cutting stage) one size at the waist and cut everything else in my usual size.
My knit was very stretchy and I ended up taking in one size at the hips, at least 2 sizes down from my original waist size and I think it still needs taking in. So yes, I would go down at least one size overall.
I would look at the size change between your current size and the next size up and use that as a guide to size down. Good luck!
How stable is your knit? And how heavy? Amount of stretch and thinness or thickness of fabric could make a difference in the size you need.
In general, you can use a knit for any pattern designed for wovens (can't go the other way, though). However, as has been pointed out, the stretch and weight of your knit are factors. A firm cotton double knit should be almost perfectly interchangeable with a woven, but a thin, stretchy rayon/lycra could be another kettle of fish.
The neck and shoulders--from which the garment hangs--should be about the same. The tricky bits are the amount of ease around the bust, waist, and hips.
Why not either overlay or flat-pattern measure your woven pattern with a favorite knit pattern, to compare the shape and ease? -- Edited on 9/25/12 8:45 PM --
