When Danielle drinks from the glass of wine, it can obviously be seen that the wine has been changed with water.
When Charlie trips on the skateboard, you clearly see the pad under the rug to protect Charlie Sheen from being hurt in the fall.
Alan says the title That's Summer Sausage, Not Salami in this episode.
It's revealed that Alan's middle name is Jerome.
Danielle: Oh, no, how will I stay warm?
Charlie: I recommend the buddy system.
Danielle: You're cute.
Charlie: I know.
Charlie: I just thought you two might hit it off. I'm even making a little welcome basket for you to give to her.
Alan: So, she's beautiful, rich and single. Why would she want me? I'm broke, middle-aged, twice-divorced, sleeping on your hide-a-bed, and sharing custody of a flatulent, underachieving son.
Charlie: We're gonna need a bigger basket.
Berta: We're gonna need chloroform and a rope.
Charlie: She works for me.
Alan: Well then, tell her when something is on the shopping list, she should shop for it.
Berta: I'm gonna slug him. Can I slug him?
Alan: It's very simple. I've decided that I'm going to start drinking acidopholus milk. It promotes intestinal flora, which aids in healthy digestion. For three weeks I've been writing it on the shopping list. Yet, Berta insists on bringing home 2%.
Charlie: Slug him.
Berta: He's gotta go, Charlie.
Charlie: What am I gonna do, Berta? He's my brother.
Berta: We could make it look like an accident.
Charlie: No woman ever came home from a date complaining that all she did was talk about herself.
Charlie: Danielle—she's not right for you.
Alan: But you said she was perfect for me.
Charlie: I was wrong. She's sick and twisted; that makes her perfect for me.
Danielle: Alan, you're a sweet, gentle guy. Charlie, you're a pig, but I find you very attractive. There's only one reasonable solution. I'll have to do you both.
Charlie: I am sorry about the hermaphroditic incident.
Alan: 'I'm sorry' does not make up for leaving me in a hotel room with a girl who had a vestigial penis.
Charlie: I didn't know! I was as surprised as you were!
Alan: Charlie, no one was as surprised as I was.
(Berta asks Charlie about Danielle)
Berta: Walk me through this again... She's beautiful, rich, divorced, and you want to hand her off to Zippy the Chimp?
(unpacking the groceries and checking them against her shopping list)
Berta: "Salted butter"... Salted butter. "Extra large eggs"... Extra large eggs. "Acidophilus milk"... 2% milk, you whiny pinhead.
The German episode title is "Man fängt nie mit Blähungen an", meaning "Don't Start with a Fart". The French title is "La nouvelle voisine", meaning "The New Neighbor". The Italian title is "Salsiccia affumicata", meaning "Smoked Sausage". The Spanish title is "Eso es Salsa, no Salame", meaning "That's Salsa, not Salami".
The end credits feature Chuck Lorre's vanity card #171.
Though credited, Holland Taylor and Marin Hinkle do not appear in this episode.
When Berta threatens Alan, Charlie responds, "As long as my mother's alive, nothing happens to Fredo," playing on a line said by Michael Corleone in The Godfather: Part II.
Charlie's line, "We're going to need a bigger basket," is a reference to the quote "we're going to need a bigger boat" from Steven Spielberg's 1975 movie Jaws.

Hey, I'm Erin!
Food savorer, laugher, do-er, trier of new things. I love extending hospitality to strangers, hearing stories and perspectives of people from other places, and making new friends.
I'm originally from Virginia, but have lived most of my adult life elsewhere, from the West Coast of the US, to the Deep South, to Canada, to Italy, and many years spent in the Mid-West (Kentucky, Ohio). I had a very nomadic 20s, and have really enjoyed the chance to experience so many different places.
I've traveled a good amount as well, and stayed in many types of places - all of which has helped determine the way I host, and how I've set up the guest room for your use (no clutter, doilies, scratchy bed linens...). I travel using airbnb, used to work for airbnb, and love hosting - more often than not, it helps maintain my faith in humanity, and surely helps me cross paths with a really interesting cross-section of folks that I wouldn't otherwise.
I currently work as Operations Manager for a great local catering company that specializes in sourcing local food products and from-scratch cooking. I wear many hats and sometimes work long hours - and really love my job.

Brief History
The 98th Regiment, Ohio Infantry was organized at Steubenville, Ohio, August 20, 1862. It marched to Washington, D. C. April 29 to May 19 and was mustered out June 1, 1865[1].
The Wikipedia article, 98th Ohio Infantry, gives a brief history of the unit, including places served, battles fought, and commanders.
Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
Company A - many men from Jefferson County

Entropy (state of "disorder") of a closed system always increases, never decreases.
How can we then account for the formation of increasingly complex molecules needed for life from the so-called "primordial soup"? All other planets in Solar system follow this rule - very simple set of chemicals in their atmospheres, rarely anything more complex than basic inorganic stuff. Pretty much all organic molecules are associated with life - created by bacteria or other live organisms.
Can anybody explain this to me, please?

Archived Story
Huntsville/Madison County Chamber gets new communications directorPublished 3:43pm Tuesday, October 11, 2011
The Huntsville/Madison County Chamber Of Commerce has a new communications director.
Patricia Cavanaugh McCarter officially took over the position Oct. 3 from her predecessor John Southerland.
Southerland is now the director of Cumming Research Park.
Southerland "I always respected the Chamber and the work they do, McCarter said. "I know they are quality people here that dedicated to a purpose I believe in promoting."
McCarter was an award-winning reporter for The Huntsville Times from 2000-2010. She then worked as a technical writer for General Dynamics in Huntsville before coming to the Chamber.
"Patricia has a great communications and business background and is well-known in the Huntsville/Madison County community," said Charlie Kettle, chairman of the Chamber's Board of Directors and president of First Commercial Bank. "She is a great hire for the Chamber and we are excited to have her on board."
McCarter's responsibly will include writing articles, taking pictures and helping promote chamber organizations.
"These are challenging times for businesses and industries everywhere," she said. "I really look forward to getting out the word about what a great place Huntsville is for existing businesses or any businesses that would like to expand."
McCarter is active in the community and is married to Huntsville Times columnist Mark McCarter. She has two sons, Miles Stumb, a sophomore at Auburn University, and Jackson Stumb, a sophomore at Huntsville High School, and a step-daughter, Jordan McCarter, coordinator of fraternity and sorority life at Texas Christian University.

Bengals still wary of Patriots without Wilfork
FOXBOROUGH -- Filling the hole left in the wake of Vince Wilfork's injury will be tough for the Patriots. The All-Pro defensive tackle had a pretty sizable role on the team and was respected league-wide for his ability to disrupt offenses.
For the Bengals, the Patriots' opponent on Sunday, there is still a belief that the next man available for the Patriots, whether that is Joe Vellano or Chris Jones, will be just as serviceable. But they concede it won't be the same.
"[Wilfork] has been the center point of that group for a long time," said Bengals coach Marvin Lewis. "They obviously in their minds have planned -- you always plan for the loss of a player. So they're going to have the next guy step up and go with the addition of Tommy Kelly that they had in the offseason. And they have the young players in there also that played when Vince was out and have been rotating in throughout the season. But, he is obviously a good player. I'm sure they have guys that are excited to get their opportunity."
Said Bengals running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who played for the Patriots from 2008 to 2011, rookies Vellano and Jones are worth watching, there's just no replacing what Wilfork did for the Patriots' defensive line.
"Those younger guys have been playing this year, so it's an adjustment obviously," Green-Ellis said. "They can't do the same things that Vincent does, but the guy [Joe Vellano] came in, he got a sack. I remember watching the game and he came in, he got his sack, so obviously he brings some things that are going to challenge the defense as well.
"Every player has strengths, so we're going to have to take away his strengths and make him play to his weaknesses. But obviously, like I said, you never can replace a Vince Wilfork, not in the middle of the season like this. But the other guys, the young guys that they have are doing a good job when he's not in of coming in and playing well as well."
The Bengals (2-2) are coming off a 17-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns in which they struggled mightily on third down, converting on 4 of 14 attempts. They hope to do better against the Patriots.
"We really haven't performed to expectations totally throughout an entire football game," Lewis said. "We can play brilliantly and we can play with a lot of error, and the error gets you beat. So we have to do a better job of taking care of the football, we have to do a better job of converting third downs and we have to get takeaways on defense."
Sunday's game will be the first for Green-Ellis against his former team. Lewis called him a "stabling force" for the Bengals since his arrival in 2012.
"He's got just a great personality, a great work ethic and he fits well with the guys here," Lewis said. "When we bring [in] a guy from another team, a team that has been very successful, they watch how he goes about his business and it really is a great reinforcement for the things as coach that you're always trying engage your guys in and reinforce to your players."
Brandon Tate, a former Patriots wide receiver, returns kicks for the Bengals as well.


text: I like this way because I can use controls that came on the steering wheel from the factory, or I can use the volume buttons on the lilliput screen. Either way it will look like it came from the factory, and all the buttons will be in the same place and more accessible. Plus I save a USB port and buying another freaking USB extension. I was about to buy the powermate until I found this out, but I didn't know where to put the powermate. Having the volume controls at my fingertips is a priority for me, it doesn't make it so obvious that I am trying to tone my wife out.Originally Posted by voidunknown

In my car i use the directed HD Radio. Its by far the best solution for radio in the car.

In my car i use the directed HD Radio. Its by far the best solution for radio in the car.
well Mike (Malcolm2073) hooked my space navigator up with custom red led's to replace the factory blue's that totally clash with my red interior lights at night. Here's the end result. Night shot soon to come
and thanks to Alok at Portal Media i'll soon be adding the TPMS kit to my install. Thats pretty much the only thing i DONT have hooked up to my pc lol
i noticed you say you will soon be replacing your m2-atx PSU. why so and have you done it yet?
yes a few months back i replaced the m2 with a dsatx because the m2 caused my radio to have so much interference it was barely usable. Replacing just the power supply cured the issue.
Sweet install sonic! :high5:
I just got a question for ya: how exactly did you connect the Directed HD radio unit (power, audio and mitch's cable) to the carPC? I've been trying to figure out how to implement the radio without causing too much interference.
BTW my install has changed a bit.. i built a box for the equipment and that cleaned up the install pretty substantially, i have to find the time to update my pics:peep:
What about the RCA and Mitch's HD Radio cable (well, more on the latter). Are you using a Serial-to-USB cable? or did you run a serial extension?
I'm trying to figure out what cables to run my car's length. I figured I'd power the radio unit via the unused power cables from my headunit wiring and run RCA and either an "8 pin mini din extension" or an RS-232 extension to the computer (since USB adapters cause some issues based on what I've read so far). But would that cause signal degradation?
I have a mast antenna (Scion tC)
Sorry for all the questions and thanks!
very nice build!

Why the Cubs went all-in with Edwin Jackson
MESA, Ariz. – Edwin Jackson has pitched for Joe Maddon, Jim Leyland, Ozzie Guillen, Tony La Russa and Davey Johnson.
Jackson has been around Cy Young winners: David Price, Justin Verlander, Jake Peavy and Chris Carpenter. He has played with MVPs like Miguel Cabrera and Albert Pujols. He has seen the next generation of stars in Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg.
That's part of the reason why manager Dale Sveum and general manager Jed Hoyer traveled in December to meet with Jackson in Newport Beach, Calif., at the same time team president Theo Epstein and chairman Tom Ricketts were pitching Anibal Sanchez in Miami.
Their $52 million investment debuted in a Cubs uniform on Tuesday, throwing two scoreless innings during a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies in front of 4,021 fans at HoHoKam Stadium.
Before jumping in, club officials contacted ex-teammates and coaches to find out why Jackson had been traded six times, a perception that doesn't bother the laid-back military brat who only knows life on the go.
"I know I've been moving around, but I don't have a bad rap sheet," Jackson said. "It's not because I've been a nuisance in the clubhouse. It's not because of any altercations or any off-the-field incidents. Half the time I've been moving, it's been to a team that's competing to get further."
The hope at Clark and Addison is that the Cubs will be legitimate contenders during the final two seasons of Jackson's four-year deal.
No one predicted the Cubs would go to five years, $77.5 million this winter before Sanchez took $80 million from the Detroit Tigers. But when the Cubs looked out at their 2014 rotation, they saw Jeff Samardzija and fill in the blank.
[MORE: Samardzija could ride momentum into Opening Day start]
Even with the rotation upgrades, there are still questions.
Sveum said there's an "above-average chance" Garza will resume throwing on Thursday as he recovers from a lat muscle strain. Two Tommy John cases – Scott Baker and Arodys Vizcaino – took respective steps forward by throwing 25 pitches in live batting practice and a side session.
[RELATED: State of the Cubs' rotation]
That's part of the reason why the Cubs signed Jackson to the biggest free-agent deal in the Epstein administration so far.
"You can't sit and wait for there to be a perfect opportunity to acquire a pitcher or wait until right when you're ready to win the World Series and go add 40, 60 percent of your rotation," Epstein said. "We weren't eager to make a significant investment in a player who we would have to sign for a good portion of their mid-30s or who had a significant injury history or hadn't been reliable in the past.
"When a 29-year-old with a very consistent track record of being a solid, effective, 200-inning-a-year, mid-rotation starter emerges – and is available at what was relatively speaking a reasonable cost – we felt like it made a lot of sense.
"You make that type of move knowing what's in your system, knowing what future free-agent classes look like, knowing what your future roster and payroll situation is. And if it makes sense – not only for 2013 but for all four years of the deal – then you sort of hold your breath and move forward.
"I say hold your breath only because free-agent pitching is an inherently risky proposition. And in that risky pool, Edwin Jackson was – knock on wood – about as safe a bet as you can find."
In the end, the Cubs viewed the constant movement as a byproduct of Boras Corp. policy – Jackson left the super-agent last year – and the meter running for someone who made his big-league debut on his 20th birthday.
"He was always put in a position where he didn't sign the long-term contract," Sveum said, "so he was basically trade bait all those times. (That's) just part of the business."
Jackson said the timing and fit didn't work in any extensions talks with teams in the past.
Born in West Germany, Jackson was forced to learn how to make new friends as his family moved around with his father Edwin Sr., a retired U.S. Army sergeant first class.
"He is a great dude," Samardzija said. "He's one of those guys – like Garza and a couple other dudes – that really don't put too much into a contract (or) what other expectations are. (You) go out and get your work in. That's definitely Edwin to the max."
Jackson is more of a lead-by-example type, not a vocal presence. He hasn't hung around his locker much and glides through the clubhouse with headphones over his ears.
"I'm not trying to come in and take over any ship," he said.
Two years ago, Carlos Pena tried to spread all those positive vibes from the worst-to-first Tampa Bay Rays. That 2011 season saw general manager Jim Hendry get fired while the media waited for manager Mike Quade to get whacked.
[MORE: Dontrelle Willis knocked out with a shoulder injury]
There's no magic formula, but the Cubs are hoping that players who've been through rebuilding jobs and experienced winning cultures can make a difference.
As Sveum said of Jackson: "He breeds what we're trying to do here: Bring character in and great people and, obviously, guys that can produce."
Dioner Navarro caught Jackson on the 2007 Rays team that lost 96 games. Navarro caught Jackson on the 2008 Rays team that won 97 games and made it to the World Series. They're reunited on a team that has almost no outside expectations for 2013.
"We just got tired of being the pushovers," Navarro said. "We just got tired of (how) everybody wanted to play the Rays. We said: 'Screw this, we are capable of competing with these guys. Why not? We can do it.' We put our mindset on one goal.
"That's how I think we can get through this year. Why wait for next year? Why wait for three years from now?"
Jackson has gone from being a win-now rental to a long-term rebuilding piece. He won a World Series ring with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2011 and helped the Washington Nationals win 98 games last season.

Jackson has a career 70-71 record and 4.40 ERA, but that's how the price of pitching has exploded. The Cubs are betting that there's more in there.
"It definitely feels good when you know that you have the chance to have some stability on a team," Jackson said. "But at the same time, you can't get too complacent to where you let it get you too relaxed. You still have to have some edge about you when you take the field."

"We were in town to vist with our daughter and family for Christmas. It was a great place to stay!! A couple blocks away. The home is very inviting and warm. Our room was gorgeous and comfortable. The food was great! Theresa and Ralph are very accommodating…"
"The bed was AMAZINGLY comfortable and the room was very clean." From TripAdvisor.

An elegant room located at front of the house, where the morning light enters gently through the east facing window. Theresa has hand-painted the walls in a harlequin theme with Ralph Lauren paints that showcase the queen-size four poster bed and exposed wood floors. Private bathroom adjoins the bedroom.
Tucked away on a lower floor, the Monroe room is very private and ideal for some quiet time away. It boasts contemporary furnishings with a queen brass bed and a desk area. Generous closet space and a small fridge are also provided. This room has a private bathroom with a large antique bear claw bath tub for two, with a more traditional shower head over the top.
The only room named after a General instead of a President, the Fremont room is a light, airy corner room with lots of natural lighting. Although one of our smaller rooms, it is the favorite room of Theresa. She attributes her love for this room to the two windows and the Bay leaf tree right outside one of the windows. Sharing a bathroom with the Jefferson room, this room has a full-size bed and a refinished antique cast iron sink in the room.
An Asian-themed room with orchids painted in Trompe-l'oeil style by a faux painter from Arizona, the Jefferson room has a full-size bed, a sink vanity, desk and built-in cedar closets made by Ralph. This room is especially unique, as it used to be the kitchen during the Victorian era. We converted it into a bedroom in 1986. It shares a bathroom with the Fremont room.
A bright and sunny room with a large window facing out into our scenic gardens, the Harrison room has a full-size bed, antique wardrobe and a comfortable chair for reading. It's burgundy accents and wood furnishings bring a cozy ambiance to an already beautiful room. The closet in Victorian times has been converted into a compact bathroom with a shower and is adjoined to the room, making the Harrison the only full-size room with a private bathroom.
With it's own private entrance, the Cabernet Suite is ideal for your romantic getaway or family vacation. As the largest and most private of our six rooms, it is spacious with a comfy King bed, a queen sofa bed and cozy seating area, and is furnished with its own mini-fridge, a microwave, an electric fireplace and a large-screen tv. The Suite has its own private bathroom with a gorgeous Japanese-style tub and shower. Minimum stay 2 nights.

Respond to Review of Luna Blanca
by earthville
Review: Luna Blanca is one of my new favorites. I ate there several times while in UB, so i got to sample almost all of the menu, which is essentially vegan except for a few items with optional cheese (clearly marked on the menu). For my taste, everything was quite good. The restaurant was founded by three sisters, and all the cheerful staff are meditators. Some speak English quite well. Faves: Mongol Combo Plate, Ariun Zoog, Chef Salad, vegan cheesecake, ginger tea with sesame Good: Luna Blanca special soup, homemade noodles Mongol style, Yin & Yang (vegan BBQ fish), chocolate cake, cookies, hawthorn juice OK: Shish kebab (fine, but less interesting than other comparable items, IMHO), muffins, seabuckthorn juice (recommended only for the adventurous) Note that the place can be packed with locals during the lunch rush. As of May 2010, the map is wrong, so to be clear: Luna Blanca is about a block and a half west of Sukhbaatar Square. Start at the National Museum of Mongolian History and walk westward down Juulchin Gudamj (the same street as the entrance to the museum), and you'll find Luna Blanca less than 2 blocks down on the left, behind a "Japanese garden" that's more like a small park.

I've created a wrapper for my application using boost::python.
This has worked so far by: (number of static libraries/source code) -> python_mapping.so
In this way my shared object is comprised of many static libs, including boost itself (notably boost_thread). I would assume that this so would contain ALL my application information, as I've statically linked everything in.
This compiles just fine.
ldd python_mapping.so
librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00002b7cbad37000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002b7cbaf40000)
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00002b7cbb240000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002b7cbb4c4000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002b7cbb6d2000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002b7cbb8ed000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000327ee00000)
However, when I run my example python application I get this run time linking error: undefined symbol: _ZTIN5boost6detail16thread_data_baseE
It seems that those boost libraries that linked in fine to the static library aren't actually there?
Hey guys, I've made some progress on this. Apparently my shared object doesn't include a lot of symbols the compiler didn't think were being used (because it never saw my c++ objects ever being created, since the are created by instantiating Python Objects).
Kind of like:
//This is a class only created in python
#include "CPlusPlusClass.h"
PythonClass() { }
CPlusPlusClass _cplusplus;
//PythonMappings for PythonClass
#python file
import python_mapping
pythonClass = python_mapping.PythonClass() #This fails saying it can't find the symbol for CPlusPlusClass
Compiler will optimize out the CPlusCPlus class out because it never sees it actually being used, which is totally obnoxious. It does seem to keep the PythonClass itself (probably because of the Python Boost Mapping Macro.
You can get around that a few ways:
- Link all your libraries with:
-Xlinker --whole-archive
- Create dummy uses of the libraries in your shared object
I was wondering if anyone can think of another solution, because it is really annoying to go through all the possible libraries and add them in with --whole-archive

Sizzling Along
After overabusing my leopard prints I Found a pair of pretty legit snake printed pants that im kind of dying over. But wearing them to a vegan joint was a complete FAIL on my part last night. My health nut sister Jane wanted to try out RDF (Real Daily Food) and I must say….as legit as my snake printed pants were…gotta admit this vegan food was pretty legit too!
Here are Some of my Spring Must Haves all in this one look!
1. Minimalistic & basic silhouette tops – Blouse by Zara
2. Bold Printed Pants (doesn't necessarily have to be animal print! ) – Pants by Zara
3. Nude heels – BCBG Maxazria
4. A Collarless blazer – Jacket by Zara
5. Short yet awkward length bed head waves
Besides the 102 degree flaming hot weather today..I will be sizzling along with my new fave sankeprint pants!
wow nice!!! >3<
just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using.
Love your shoes and Pants!!!
Heel in Mint
I LOVE these shoes I am really tall, so I never know how crazy I might look in some serious high heels, but these are cute. I am just now finding out about Zara as well!

We Survived the Premiere Party for Logo's A-List
As for the rest of the series, we're not so sure.
Great News! You've made Logo's A-List," said the invitation that Intel Jessica forwarded along, sending us to the top floor of the Hell's Kitchen gay bar Therapy, expecting shiny young men hip-checking us at the door. But apparently this "A-List" was referring to a motley crew of about ten cranky-seeming journalists, 'cause that's who turned up for last night's screening of Logo's new reality show about six gay men allegedly living a life of dining at Monkey Bar, weekending at Amagansett, and sleeping with Marc Jacobs; a little piece of hellivision that even Intel Chris feared might be bad for gay men. First order of business at Therapy, smartly, was serving us all multiple "Red Velvets," a Stoli-cran concoction, and "Drama Queens," a Stoli-lime juice drink, to ease us into what we were about to see.
"The great thing about being gay in New York is that it's just like being straight in New York," the show's opening explains, before preternaturally tan and weirdly handsome Reichen Lehmkuhl begins talking about his former relationship with Lance Bass, just to get that out of the way. At first, Reichen seems like the smart one: He says he's "A-List" because "A" stands for "Accomplished", and besides having dated a member of *NSYNC, he's also a former U.S. Army Captain who, during the filming of this show, starred in My Big Gay Italian Wedding. But all is not as it appears with Reichen, we suspect, after discovering that two years ago, he had a fling with his co-star Austin A, when Austin was around nineteen. (Bear with us.)
"Austin is sweet, but he's still a kid," Reichen explains. (That's something he should have thought of before they did it, no?) In the series, however, Reichen is seriously dating Rodiney, the Brazilian-model cast-member who moved to New York to be with Reichen! Tall and brooding Rodiney takes Reichen on a cruise around New York in the first episode, to make out with him and tell him he loves him. "Do you love me?" Rodiney asks, as the sun sets over Manhattan. "Yes, I do," Reichen says. Cut to the confessional, naturally: "I like Rodiney," Reichen explains to the audience. "But I don't know that I love him." Oh, dear.
The two were mum on if they're still together, after the screening, but there was no PDA; they hardly spoke. Reichen wrote a book on his time as a gay man in the military, so we asked if he thought this show was good for gay people on the whole. "The trailers are much more salacious. That was just to get a lot of attention, " he said. It's true. The series itself is a bit more, er... nuanced. Alas, "I hear people saying, 'Oh, this is going to be horrible for the way it represents the gay community,'" he said. "What I say to that is: It's a television show. It's an entertainment piece. We're not here to represent the gay community. This is just six guys and who they are. It's not representative of the gay community on the whole."
Forget that man, though. The most important person on this series is Austin, the former model who is trying to lose about 20 pounds to get back in the game. Trust us! Austin already had a brush with fame as Marc Jacobs's post-Jason Preston rebound. (The Cut even wrote him a letter once!) Austin is A-List if A stands for awesome. He still wants to get Marc Jacobs's attention, too, he says, and he seems to want to try things again with Reichen. And maybe Rodiney, too, while he's at it. And the whole cast hates him! Presented without commentary, here's what he told us after the show, about dating Marc Jacobs:
"I met Marc out at a party. I sent him an e-mail a few days later that said, you know, 'Great to meet you, I think you're a fantastic artist.' I never expected an e-mail back. But within two hours, I got an e-mail back saying, 'Come over, let's hang out. Let's have a drink.' The drink was Diet Coke, it was noon. So we sat on his couch at the Mercer Hotel for literally six hours just talking. He smoked about three packs of cigarettes and went through a six pack of Diet Coke. But the dialogue we had was fantastic. We were talking about the war and politics. He's such a phenomenal spirit. He had just broken up with Jason Preston, which was very public. And so when we went out together and got photographed, everyone was like, 'Oh, this is his new boyfriend.' But that wasn't actually the case. You saw us kissing and everything. But the honest truth is he asked me to do that because he wanted to get back at Jason. He wanted Jason to see him out with a guy who was younger and more attractive. It was bad timing. We're still friends. If I were twenty years older, I think we'd be soul mates. I'd love to have him in my life in a bigger way. But I called one time and Lorenzo, his ex-husband I believe, answered the phone and was like, 'Stop fucking calling! I know what you want,' blah blah blah, this and that. So, our relationship for the past year has been rocky because of his husband, or ex-husband, I'm not sure what the situation is. But now if Lorenzo's out of the picture, we can be good friends again. I don't need to be photographed with him. I don't want him to go out and buy me a Louis Vuitton bag, though he has."
Okay, we're going to watch this show after all.

Living & working in Brazil as foreign service family: Our fifth month.
After being in La Paz, Bolivia for the past 2 years, we followed our hearts [and our assignment!] to Brasilia, capital of Brazil. Before I go any further, my blogsphere apologies for the hiatus – being a full-time mom of 3 children, one not yet at school age, who have decided to [re] join the wonderful PEPFAR team, working 40+ hours outside the house, life's still good.
We've adjusted quite well, I'd say. Kids are pretty satisfied with the school; weekend have been crowned with social events, ranging from previously arranged and impromptu play dates, to barbecues at friends' homes, to endless trips to the grocery store.
For the average ' trailing family', we seem to be doing well. With all that said, I believe I can get back into blogging, updating family and friends on our whereabouts….
Work has me traveling quite a bit, which could be seen as exciting, but nevertheless, requiring excelling logistics skills, and a state-of-the-art household managing plan! :) One of my work trips brought the whole family to Rio… and how? Well, October is Children's Month in Brazil. And because of that, one of the airline companies was flying kids for free. Taking advantage of the Columbus Day holiday, we packed our bags, and went to the Cidade Maravilhosa. This post showcases a few images from our visit.
*. Parque Lage
"Parque Enrique Lage" is a public park in the city of Rio De Janeiro, located in the Jardim Botânico neighborhood at the foot of the Corcovado.
The land was formerly the residence of industrialist Enrique Lage and his wife. During the 1920s Lage had the mansion remodeled by Italian architect Mario Vodrel, with interior paintings by Salvador Payols Sabaté.
In the 1960s the land became a public park, with walking trails through subtropical forest. The Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage (Visual Arts School of Parque Lage) and a café open to the public operate from the former mansion.
*. Meeting up with friends in Leblon…. nothing like taking a pic at a bus stop in Rio… so classy!!! :)
*. A quick stop at the Girl from Ipanema Bar… the so famous corner where Vinicius de Moraes and Tom Jobim complosed the long-loved poem to the eternal beach-tanned beauty…
*. …on our way to the beach!
*. Moving on…. Looking at the city from the shoulders of Christ the Redeemer – Nothing like enjoying the view from the "Cristo"!
*. And finally… The Ipanema Hippie Fair… got get there to understand it's size, dimension and unique flavors & colors!
14 Days to Depart Post…
Photography: Pink Flamingos add color to the 'Laguna Colorada', Bolivia.
Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon) is a shallow salt lake in the southwest of the altiplano of Bolivia, within Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, close to the Chilean border.
Exploring the amazing beauty of Laguna Colorada is a sheer delight for any traveler. Laguna Colorada is a breeding ground for the famous flamingos. The algae of Laguna Colorada are the source of food for the rare James flamingos and also for the Chilean and Andean flamingos.
There are also over 50 species of other birds which have made this lake their home. It is an unforgettable scene to watch the flocks of flamingos on the lake as they collect their food and fly over the red water.
The so-called Laguna Colorada covers about 60 sq. kilometers (37 sq. miles), with a depth of about 50 cm (20 inches).
With a high salt content, the fiery red color of Laguna Colorado is derived from algae and plankton that thrive in the mineral-rich water of sodium, magnesium, borax and gypsum; as well as red sediments and pigmentation of some algae.
James's Flamingos abound in the area.
"Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time" Book Review by Brigid Schulte
A couple of weeks back, during my 'usual morning routine at work', I stumbled upon a book review published on the Washington Post, under the 'Parenting' section, and found it so clear, so engaging, that I felt like ordering the book right then!
The review was written by Jennifer Howard, and today I received the 'okay' from the Washington Post editors to have it shared here – for the ones who didn't have the same opportunity read it over there :o here is the link, and below, the full review. Enjoy as much as I did!
'Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time' by Brigid Schulte
By Jennifer Howard, Published: March 21
When did we get so busy? For many of us, life unspools as a never-ending to-do list. Wake up, pack lunches, get the kids to school, get ourselves to our jobs, work all day, collect the kids, make dinner, supervise homework, do the laundry, walk the dog, pay the bills, answer e-mail, crawl into bed for a few fitful hours of sleep, wake up already exhausted, then do it all over again. Weekends, which ought to be oases of leisure, have their own hectic rhythms: errands, chores, sports events, grocery shopping, exercise. Dispatch one task and six more take its place, a regenerating zombie army of obligations.
This brain-eating assault of to-dos leaves its victims wrung out, joyless, too tired to stop and smell the roses (which probably need pruning and mulching anyway — add that to the list). But "this is how it feels to live my life: scattered, fragmented, and exhausting," Brigid Schulte writes early in "Overwhelmed," her unexpectedly liberating investigation into the plague of busyness that afflicts us. "I am always doing more than one thing at a time and feel I never do any one particularly well. I am always behind and always late, with one more thing and one more thing and one more thing to do before rushing out the door.
She could be describing my days and probably yours, especially if you're a working parent in the overcommitted middle part of life. Schulte, a longtime reporter for The Washington Post and the mother of two school-age kids, has a word for this shared unpleasantness: the Overwhelm. She takes her own harried-working-mom life as the jumping-off point for her research on where the Overwhelm comes from and what we can do about it.
Busyness has become so much the assumed default of many lives that it feels as elemental and uncontrollable as weather. So Schulte's shocked when John Robinson, a University of Maryland sociologist known as Father Time, tells her that women have at least 30 hours of leisure a week, according to his time-use studies. She can't reconcile that statistic with how her hours seem shredded into "time confetti — one big, chaotic burst of exploding slivers, bits, and scraps." Nor does she believe it when Robinson tells her that we feel busy in part because we decide to feel busy.
Schulte quickly moves on to other researchers' explorations of workplace culture, gender roles and time management, finding both reassurance and confirmation that she's not making up the Overwhelm. She learns that the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that "acts like a patient yet controlling kindergarten teacher," shrinks under the neurochemical onslaught of constant stress. That lets the amygdala, "the seat of negative emotions like fear, aggression, and anxiety," take over. Anyone who has ever yelled at her kids while searching frantically for the car keys 10 minutes after the family should have left the house understands this.
If the neuroscience Schulte reports is right, feeling busy all the time shrinks the better part of our brains. But busyness also delivers cultural rewards. We feel important when we're always booked, according to researchers such as Ann Burnett, who has studied thousands of the holiday letters people send to trumpet the year's accomplishments.
Burnett's collection of letters, which date back to the 1960s, make up "an archive of the rise of busyness" as something to aspire to. As Burnett tells Schulte: "People are competing about being busy. It's about showing status. That if you're busy, you're important. You're leading a full and worthy life." The more you do, the more you matter, or so the reigning cultural script goes.
That script dictates how many offices and homes run. At work, the cult of the always-available "ideal worker" still "holds immense power," Schulte writes, even as more people telecommute and work flexible hours. The technology that untethers workers from cubicles also makes it very hard to not be on call at all times. (I'd have liked to see Shulte spend more time on how technology fuels the cult of busyness.)
Those who escape the "time cages" of traditional workplaces confront what Schulte calls "a stalled gender revolution" at home, with consequences especially burdensome for women. She cites work by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi on how women's time is "contaminated" by "keeping in mind at all times all the moving parts of kids, house, work, errands, and family calendar."
Only in Denmark does Schulte find a culture that appears to balance work, home and play in a truly egalitarian way. Because "Overwhelmed" sticks closest to the experience of working American parents, she goes after the shameful lack of affordable child care in this country. She even interviews Pat Buchanan, who in the 1970s helped sabotage a bill that would have created universal child care.
While that's a useful bit of policy history to contemplate, and one that still affects us today, the most engaging sections of "Overwhelmed" stick to the here and now and how we let the cult of busyness lay waste to our hours. "Contaminated" time eats away at leisure, according to researcher Ben Hunnicutt, and by "leisure" he does not mean hours spent parked on the sofa in front of the telly. Leisure, to Hunnicutt, means experiencing "the miracle of now" or "simply being open to the wonder and marvel of the present" — the sense of being alive, which no to-do list will ever capture.
Although it illuminates a painfully familiar experience, "Overwhelmed" doesn't speak for or about everyone. It lingers most on the conditions under which middle-class mothers and fathers labor, but the Overwhelm afflicts the child-free, too. The working poor are stretched even thinner. And how workers in China or Indonesia or India or South Africa feel about the balance of their lives is understandably beyond Schulte's scope, although Europeans make a few appearances.
The question raised by "Father Time" John Robinson nags at this book like a forgotten homework assignment. The further I read, the more I began to wonder how much of the Overwhelm is at least partly self-inflicted and to see opportunities to reclaim time. Like Jacob Marley's ghost, we've forged chains of obligation that we drag around with us. But if we made those chains, we can loosen them too, as Schulte has tried to do, with some success. In an appendix, "Do One Thing," she offers useful starting points, such as learning not to give your time away and setting clear expectations about what really needs to be accomplished. Not every to-do item is created equal.
Do our employers really expect us to be on call 24/7, tethered to our smartphones as if they were oxygen tanks? Just because we can check e-mail at all hours, should we? Do our offspring really need to be hauled around to every soccer game and music lesson? Does every last piece of laundry have to be folded and put away before we can sit down with a cup of coffee, stare out the window and daydream? As a neighbor said to me not long ago, your work e-mail can wait. Your life can't.

What Drives Me Crazy?
Oh, boy!
If you asked my husband, he'll clearly tell anyone, I don't need any triggering reason to go insane… <3 He'd state that in a very loving way, and yet, he'd say it!
The 'little voices in my head' would likely echo his statement. But I firmly disagree: it's hard for me to lose my cool, although, a few things would definitely make it to the list of 'strong reasoning facts' that drive me crazy… This morning I was cruising thru the WP 'inspirational' suggestions, and found Krista's topic, on 'She drives me crazy'. In my case, "She" has morphed into a list of well-balanced reasons, which I should name 'boiling point checklist' :
Somebody over here, another 'inspired blogger', came up with a masterpiece on how useless the so-called "inspirational images" from FB [and why not, from other social media channels?] are – I could not agree more with him. That said, thank you very much RichyDispatch for getting me all fired-up for this writing prompt! You've become my instant Monday Hero! :o
Still on the "social media" subject, another boiling point disclosure seems to be the way people describe themselves/their achievements/their fantastic lives on the 'social scene'…. is it me, or, pretty much everyone else out there seems to have the smartest children, their overachiever spouses, the greatest and best paid jobs? Maybe it's just me, but this constant display of 'my grass is greener than yours' gets old very quickly…
Leaving the social media aside, now let's move to another common boiling point-trigger: The School Moms. Oh, my! This is for the many parents out there, especially the ones who try to get involved with their kiddo's school activities. I've got a question for y'all: have you ever had any issues with [not of them, but they've got representatives all over the world] the PTA mafia? If you don't know what I'm talking about, there's no need to worry, and it also means you haven't had any bad experiences with the before-mentioned group – for the ones who understand my pain, that's enough said!
Different scenario, now: the work place/social gatherings:
I'm born and raised Latina, so I believe I've got a pass to share my two cents on this. In most of latino countries, people never miss an event; they're also, never on time! I try my best to get all my household act together before heading out to work. I'm currently living and working at a latino country – the perception of regular/expected work hours seem to differ from one person to the other. And why? Latinos don't believe in a set time, for anything! [again, I can speak out my thoughts 'cause I was born in Brazil, and when I last checked, it's part of the colorful/wonderful Latino community!].
You wanna plan a dinner starting at 8, remember to tell your guests dinner is scheduled for 6. Most people will be there at/around 8:30. It's a good technique, and you don't stress out.
You're throwing a birthday party for your toddler, and it should run from 2-4, don't expect the lovely little ones [and their respective families] to depart before dinner time. That said, get your post-birthday-dinner ready for the tardy ones – they'll likely overstay, and they'll surely be hungry!
Do these type of issues make my blood boil inside my veins?

This article represents Henry Adams as distinctly divided on the question of imperialism. In his memoir about the last chiefess of Tahiti, he found a narrative that at once provided a just representation of his subject and silenced a narrative that implicated himself as biographer in his family's imperialist project.

Barclays, JPMorgan Top Greenwich Structured Product Issuers Poll
Barclays Plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co. topped a poll of providers of structured products to individual investors, according to a survey by Greenwich Associates.
The Stamford, Connecticut-based research company asked 369 distributors of the securities -- which can include advisers, brokers and private banks -- who they thought were the most important sellers of retail structured products in 2012. Forty-four percent named London-based Barclays and JPMorgan in New York as the top firms globally, Greenwich said in a report, which was based on the opinions of the respondents rather than actual transactions.
The company said the two banks dominated the global retail structured products business because their platforms extend across all major regions.
"Barclays and JPMorgan lead this market due to the breadth of their capabilities and franchises," Andrew Awad, a consultant at Greenwich, said in the report.
HSBC Holdings Plc was cited as having the next biggest "market penetration," followed by UBS AG, Credit Suisse Group AG and BNP Paribas SA, according to the poll.
Greenwich also recognized HSBC as a "global quality leader" for providing the best service to distributors, according to the report.
U.S. investors have bought $7.84 billion of structured notes this year, just below the $8.92 billion purchased during the same period last year. European and Asian investors have sunk $18.7 billion into the securities, 13 percent less than the year before, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Banks create structured notes by packaging debt with derivatives to offer customized bets to investors, while earning fees and raising money. Derivatives are contracts whose value is derived from stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies.

Philosophical Topics
Volume 39, Number 2, Fall 2011
pp. 1-20
Sholom Schwartzbard killed Simon Petlura in an act of revenge. He admitted his crime and a French jury acquitted him in 1927. For Hannah Arendt, Schwartzbard's actions show that revenge can, in certain circumstances, be in the service of justice. This paper explores Hannah Arendt's distinction between reconciliation and revenge and argues that Hannah Arendt embraces revenge as one way in which politics and justice can happen in the world, but only under certain conditions. First, Arendt only endorses revenge when the crime calling forth vengeance is extraordinary, one that bursts the bounds of traditional legality. Second, the avenger must give himself up for judgment to the legal system, asking a jury to judge whether his extraordinary act was just even though it was illegal. These are strict conditions and will only rarely be met. When they are, revenge can be a profoundly political act in the service of justice, one that can restore a broken political order.

Introduction: Gena Philibert-Ortega is a genealogist and author of the book "From the Family Kitchen." In this blog article, Gena searches old newspapers to learn more about some of the Thanksgiving traditions families enjoy this time of year.
Family history isn't just about the gathering of our ancestors' names, dates, places, and stories. Family history is also about recording our present-day lives, including our traditions, for the benefit of future generations. What traditions does your Thanksgiving Day include? Besides eating the Thanksgiving turkey what else does your family enjoy? Do you spend time cheering a favorite football team, watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, or do you prefer to get a jump on your Christmas shopping?
Thanksgiving is a day of traditions, some long established and others unique to our individual families. Here are a few holiday traditions I learned more about by searching in GenealogyBank's Historical Newspaper Archives.
The Food
Obviously the main tradition for Thanksgiving is the feast. We collectively associate Thanksgiving with foods such as turkey, stuffing or dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. Looking for some traditional recipes? This article from a 1955 newspaper provides some tips about cooking the Thanksgiving turkey and two different types of stuffing, using bread or cornbread.
Now, you may be asking why we partake in these specific foods on Thanksgiving. Well the old newspapers have answers for this question. What I like about this 1936 version of Thanksgiving food history is that it addresses the fact that turkey may not have been an option for everyone's holiday dinner because of expense – an important statement as people were in the midst of the Great Depression. The author writes that families may have substituted "chicken, duck, beef, rabbit, or even pork and were glad to get it."
What other foods does your family have for Thanksgiving? What is the history of that recipe in your family?
Are you eagerly awaiting the deals that "Black Friday" brings? For some, online shopping has replaced the frenzied crowds associated with the number one shopping day of the year – but for some families, shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving is a tradition. I had assumed that this November sale day was a more modern idea – but judging from this 1915 newspaper article, there was a push in the early 20th century to have shoppers begin their holiday shopping early so as to not overwhelm stores as the Christmas holidays approached. The article states:
It was started as a measure to bring relief to overworked employees in the shops. The call was not only to do Christmas shopping early and thus modify the heavy strain upon the shop workers, but throughout the year to do shopping early in the week, and early in the day, so that there might be no congested period later.
Publicity for this effort included newspaper articles, signs, and even slides shown at the motion picture theatres.
Focusing on one day of sales to overwhelm stores, as Black Friday does today, was certainly not the idea behind this original early-shopping campaign; there was a concentrated effort back then to make people think about when they shop and to consider doing their Holiday shopping in November.
The term Black Friday was in use by the 1960s, but the practice of holiday shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving predates the phrase. This 1927 newspaper article announces that Christmas display windows would debut on Thanksgiving Day, and that sales would begin the next day. Shoppers were urged to get their shopping done early to avoid the hassles of the past:
In former years, when the public, through some peculiar psychological twist, felt that no Christmas shopping could be done until within a week [or] 10 days of the holiday, merchants were slow to put their complete lines of holidays [sic] wares on display. The buying public has forced it upon them.
For some families an impromptu game of football in the back yard or watching a game on the television is part of their Thanksgiving Day. If you are a football fan, you may not be too surprised to learn that football and Thanksgiving have been linked since the beginning of the sport. College and professional teams have played on Thanksgiving Day since the late 19th century.
One early mention of this tradition comes from the New York Herald, referring to Thanksgiving Day 1880 when the Princeton and Yale football teams would engage in "one of their stubborn old time contests."
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Love a parade? If you do, you might be a big fan of the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. The Macy's parade in New York City debuted for Christmas 1924. That first parade, watched by 250,000 spectators, included costumed employees and floats. The success of that first effort ensured that the parade would become a yearly holiday tradition. It wasn't until 1927 that the first balloon became part of the festivities. That balloon was cartoon character Felix the Cat.*
This 1940s description of the parade comes from Bobby Sutherland, whose writing appeared on the children's page of the Richmond Times Dispatch. He describes the parade as starting:
at 110th Street and Broadway at 1 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day…The parade goes down to Central Park West and then south to Macys, which is at Thirty-fourth Street and Broadway. There's always lots of bands and balloons. I'm told by some of the boys in my classes that it some times takes two hours for this parade to pass.
A 1959 newspaper article heralded the approximately 1.3 million people who watched the 33rd annual parade in person, and countless others who watched it broadcast on TV. That year, balloon figures included a turkey, a space man and Popeye.
It is estimated that the parade now attracts 3.5 million people to New York City each year.**

Chocolate is a main ingredient in a relationship.Needs Examples Needs Examples
Chocolate is one of the main components of romance, relationships, and sometimes even sex (not necessarily of that kind, obviously, though it may happen). Chocolate is used, primarily, within these three contexts:
- The context of courting or inviting, when one character gives to another a box of chocolates, for example. A box may also appear in special celebrations, like the one year anniversary of a relationship or Valentine's day;
- The context of sex and intimacy, when one character gives to another a bit of chocolate, usually a bonbon or praline. Generally, it precedes the sex act itself, being part of the foreplay;
- The context of mending issues with their relationship (which is less frequent), with the character who gives usually asking for forgiveness or a pardon.

- In Japan, Valentine's Day was commercially imported from the West by chocolate/candy companies, where the idea is for girls to give gifts of chocolate to guys they like. This idea is so popular and important that some artistic representations of the act even have the girl giving herself with chocolate poured all over her body. White Day was later invented for March 14, where males "return" the sentiments with a gift of their own. The usual method is that of giving him homemade chocolate and cookies, packaged in an embroidered hankerchief and tied with a ribbon. Sometimes, it will involve a handmade sweater as well.
- In the West it was generally common practice to give a girl, either for going out or on Valentine's day, a box of chocolates and/or flowers. Sometimes, a greeting card was also included. In the cases where this is still practiced, the receivers of said box are usually women over the age of 40 or 50.
- According to various studies, chocolate (especially of the dark variety) is one of the recommended foods that you can eat before having sex.
