MO - Carolyn Williams, stabbed in her home, Columbia, 1989
Missouri Cops Ask College Students to Help Solve Murder Mystery
Friday, July 03, 2009
COLUMBIA, Mo. Columbia police are hopeful that DNA evidence and help from some college students may lead to a break in a 20-year-old murder mystery.
Carolyn Williams was stabbed to death in her Columbia home on Jan. 2, 1989. Police believe the murder was drug-related.
Tips have come in the latest in 2005 but none has panned out, Detective John Short said.
The case is getting new attention after students in Columbia College's Cold Case Homicide class chose to focus on it during the last semester. The elective class for students pursuing forensic science and criminal justice careers is taught by retired Columbia police Detective Mike Himmel.

Picture: Arnold Schwarenegger Duke of Edinburgh's Award: Young Americans' Challenge Calabasas, California - 11.05.07
Movie tough guy Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to stun fans with his latest movie - because he wears a comic dark curly wig in it.
The 56-year-old actor and Governor of California cameos as sex-obsessed PRINCE HAPI in AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, a role he filmed before allegations of his own sexual conduct surfaced last year (03).
And Schwarzenegger was keen to wear the hair-piece in the comedy adventure movie in a bid to soften his action man image.

The walkway down the school was the same as usual, busy, full of people bustling around, some being inconsiderate by pushing and shoving. I was used to it and continued on my way to class. I looked around, taking in what I saw.
My gaze caught on two people talking, I'd seen many stop at this spot to talk, usually one or two pairs daily. However, there was a bit more to it than just friends talking, I could tell.
The guy had a certain fondness in his eyes, they were flickering from her eyes to her lips and back. His gaze was lingering, his posture leaning close to her, attentive. He was letting her do most of the talking, lips slightly parted almost as if he were urging to say something, but didn't. It was more than just a platonic sort of like, I could tell he liked her; I swear the infatuation was visible.
I didn't get to see her actions and expression, her back had been to me and I only looked over for a moment, just a glance. The look lasted a few seconds, not enough to stop me or make me look back, and I went on my way again.

"Battles of Napoleon" is a new boardgame series with the goal of re-creating Napoleonic warfare at a tactical and operational level, using 1/72 figures to represent units and formations on modular game boards.
The rules are of average complexity, with enough detail to simulate the most important features of the battles of the Napoleonic age, such as formations, maneuver, the relevance of combined arms. At the same time, they are simple enough to be fun and playable for beginners.
Each set in the "Battles of Napoleon" series will include unpainted figures, modular boards, terrain elements, cards, dice, rules and scenarios. Different sets can be combined together to create larger battles.
1. Maida (July 4, 1806)
2. Cerro De Medellin (Talavera, July 28, 1809)
Battle of Salamanca (July 22, 1812)

Re: Support 4 Graphics (Images)?
I am trying to insert an image into a ThML (dictionary) module, but receive an error message, saying something about the size of the image and also that I am not using "ImageMagick".
I am using Xiphos 3.1.3 under Windoews XP.
First, upgrade to 3.1.4, available via http://xiphos.org/, just on general principles.
Second, the error message is regrettably out of date. We no longer use ImageMagick internally to determine image size. The size is determined in order to resize (scale) the image within the pane where the image will be displayed.
If you are consistently getting this sort of problem, then you probably do not have the image placed correctly within the directory hierarchy which makes up your module content. By convention (and only that), one typically creates a subdirectory "images" in which such files go. Then the reference within your module's content should be <img src="/images/YourImageFile.png"> or somesuch similar thing.
The other possibility is that the image's type is not known, though this is unlikely. Xiphos (using GTK) understands at least gif, jpg, bmp, and png.

Parole, probation sweeps across San Gabriel Valley net 17 arrests
There are 15 comments on the San Gabriel Valley Tribune story from Oct 1, 2009, titled Parole, probation sweeps across San Gabriel Valley net 17 arrests. In it, San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports that:Law enforcement officials in the southwest San Gabriel Valley had their hands full this week, arresting 17 in a parole sweep targeting a street gang Thursday while investigating a pair of shootings that occurred earlier in the week.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at San Gabriel Valley Tribune.

People with parole violations having weapons; meanwhile, the law abiding citizen is disarmed while we see anti gun laws not working. If owning a gun is crime, then only criminals will have guns. Wake Up Southern Cal. Contact your representatives.senators since supreme court is voting to ban hand-guns. Join the NRA if you want to keep your rights. Another thing, if your boyfriend or husband does not want a kid, then don't have one. There is too many people joining gangs that have no fathers. Quit having kids with people who do not want kids. Women need to be more responsible since in this day of age, if you don't want a child, then there are many options besides abortion to stop from being pregnant. Like Tom Leykis says always wear a rubber.

Good for the cops, get those cholo's and put them away.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Another thing, people join gangs because the education system failed them. Lastly, this street blockade down the street is really annoying.
United States

Yes indeed you are a Top Turkey! Officers risk their life when they bust open doors! Then who will protect the top turkey from getting eaten? Either the Christian in you made you hate cholos, who in your white eyes see Hispanic or you are just an uneducated turkey?! Parolees are in every race. Let's "put them away" at your house in hopes they may scare away the devil in you. And yes I am Mexican-American but the Christian in me would not be happy if you or your loved ones are put away in a tiny cell. I would rather pray they change their life around.
#5 Oct 26, 2009
did they deport the illegals?
#6 Oct 26, 2009
What a ef'ing joke that is. You really don't think you are fooling anyone with that statement do you? School districts bend over backwards to keep these losers in school. The importance of an education starts at home. They choose to drop out of school because they don't give a damn about an education. Only thing they care about is being lawless, harming and bullying people.
Can you think of any more excuses to give them?
#7 Oct 26, 2009
People join gangs because, well first cause they are losers, but to continue with your phraseology.. people join gangs because THEY failed the educational system.
There are kids from every school in America that go on to do great things.

Ah a self loather, explains a lot.
#13 Oct 27, 2009
Are they from another planet? Are they human? If you must name call do it the right way and call them illegal immigrants. Maybe it would do you some good to go back to school. Once Obama puts through the Immigration Plan (of course he needs to hire a Immigration Zar first) then, most if not all will have amnesty. They need to target the Asian gangs too.
#14 Oct 27, 2009
BULLSHIT! you obviously don't know the school district. They can't wait to get rid of the young men and women who they consider trouble. Our schools SUCK......
#15 Oct 27, 2009
Not a Turkey is a DUMB TURKEY. They go to jail, jail is over crowded they do a few months, maybe a year or 2 then they are out, street wiser, tougher and stronger. Why?(glad you asked) because our jail system and the prison system are ran by gangs only difference is they are legal gangs that have been given permission to carry a gun. They get more drugs and respect in jail. The state needs to reform the jails and prisons then, put people away. GOBBLE, GOBBLE.

Need to make a minor retraction - when I reviewed Twist Collective last time, I failed to realize that when you click on the "More Information" button especially in the Paper Dolls section you can see the patters on real people. Thanks to heyfatlulu for pointing that out.
Off the Needles
Completed the Cabled Feather Cowl. Sarah loved it, and she came up with a new term to always give me a chuckle when I am cursing over weaving in ends: Proofreading.
On the Needles
Still working on the Bramble Beret; I messed up in my stitch count in one of the cable repeats so I am debating to either fudge it, tink it or keep going - I am more of the keep going/fudge it school; Leah won't notice it too much because it's only on one of the repeats and its towards the top.
Right now it's on scrap yarn because I needed the 16" cable for a cowl I am designing; I got some yarn recently and didn't like the patterns available for that DK weight yarn for a cowl - went to my Cables and Arans Harmony Guide and looked for a bit of inspriation.
Stashers Anonymous
So you know how I am talking about ways to get over knitter's block? Well...getting new yarn that you normally cannot get in an update from indie dyers helps a bit too. Even though MS&W was recent and I added to the stash there as well, and was a bit overwhelmed by it there are just times when there was a yarn when you have wanted/kept and eye on for a very long time and if you have the chance to get it, you do. It's like waiting for months and months for a pair of boots that you like to go on sale and when they do, you take the opportunity. Especially if you do have plans for it which is usually my MO.
I was able to get a skein of Leah Clearwater from Fresh from the Cauldron in a June 1 update from her new site. I really wanted it b/c the colors are lovely: plum, rose pink, brown, mint green, kelly green and also to knit something for my sister with it beacause her name is Leah - she approved.
I may be able to get two cable hats out of this - going for the very slightly slouchy look and I am going to design these as well - I looked at what was available for fingering weight hats, and they were either too slouchy, too lacy/leafy or too poofy for me. I sound like Goldilocks here, but this is also a good opportunity for me to flex my brain a bit too. Again, I think I am going to go for a dense fabric, and intertwining cables. One word about this yarn: SQOOSH.
Prior to that, I actually caught a Skein update! Skein is an indie dying company run by Kristen in New South Wales Australia. I've had my eye on her yarn for quite awhile and never seem to catch an update, and love her use of color - bright but still subtle and rich earthy and jewel tones.
I did get a skein of Super DK 100% SW Merino in Blush (deep rose pink and cream with hints of rosewood, wine and burgundy) which is what I am using for the cowl I am designing, and a skein of TopDraw Sock 85/15 Merino/Nylon in Tuscany: cream, brown, red, sienna - both of these are not my usual colors but I loved them a lot.
Tuscany reminds me of my honeymoon in Italy when we were in Florence. Stitch definition on the Super DK is excellent - the cables really pop! So I am definitely going to buy from Skein again, especially for sweaters since it would be a great investment. I definitely see this yarn knit up in either the Goodale, Larch, or cardigans.
And then...there are the Harry Potter skeins. Tri'Coterie is run by Maylin who is in France and does alot of self-striping sock yarn; every month is a theme and this month is Harry Potte, so I picked up Ravenclaw for me, Gryffindor as part of Leah's birthday gift.
Knitting Travels
Summer in the city means outdoor knitting in beer gardens; the NY Times recently published an article about them. A few weeks ago, No Sheep Till Brooklyn met up at t.b.d., a beer garden in Greenpoint that is close by where we usually meet. Hung out at Spritzenhaus on WWKIP Day which was also the day of Renegade Brooklyn.
Did not complete my Rose Lace Stole (evil Provisional Cast On) but I had a lot of fun hosting. Congrats to phoenixfire and lapurplepenguin! They will receive stitch markers from Velvet Hippo.
I do have a prize/sponsor for a future KAL from Creatively Dyed and would like to hear from you about what you would like for us to do next.
Thanks again for your patience during the (unintended) hiatus and for this episode which is a bit of a catch-up epi.

I completed the Monkey Socks!
Now that I have finished my first Cookie A pattern, I'm looking to start another of the free patterns that also re-appear in knit.sock.love - which pair of cookie a socks should I knit next? Any suggestions?

I also began my first Ysolda project: Ripley.

Knitting Finds
The new Knitscene is out - great first summer issue! Love the Amy Christoffers section the best. Still puzzled over the French Creek skirt and the Clipper Mitts.
Knitting Travels
Went to South Carolina with side trips to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC and to Savannah. MEt up with my friend Mary Beth and had Chick-fil-A and went to Hobby Lobby. AMAZING. Petted an angora bunny at the Biltmore Estate. Picked up Twisted Sisters Petite Voodoo in Grean Teas(e) and Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk in Kiwi from Wild Fibre in Savannah. Knitted in the golf cart while Mel played golf (I refuse to play since I stink at it and I'm left-handed; no left-handed set of clubs to be had in his family). Drank alot of Arnold Palmers.
Confirmed that my Travelling Woman shawl is indeed cursed (horrible car karma) as we got a stuck in traffic for 3 hours on I-95, got caught in the 62 tornadoes along the VA/NC border, got a nail in the tire and discovered it in Asheville, the gas gauge broke AND stuck in traffic for another three hours heading into Staten Island. In that order.
Beginning a Knit-A-Long for the Rose Lace Stole from Interweave Knits, Spring 2011 with Kristin of the Yarngasm podcast. Here are the rules (taken from Kristin's blog, as she wrote them out wonderfully):
Events and Knit-A-Longs
Ravelry Meet-up at Knitty City was two weeks ago.
Maryland Sheep and Wool vendors are UP! I have started my preparation by making a list of what I want to get yarn for and taking stock of what I have.
Beginning a Knit-A-Long for the Rose Lace Stole from Interweave Knits, Spring 2011 with Kristin of the Yarngasm podcast. Here are the rules (taken from Kristin's blog, as she wrote them out wonderfully):
- The KAL officially begins May 1st.
- On that day, Kristin and I will post a thread in our Ravelry groups for participating listeners to discuss the KAL and share their progress, etc.
- Choose a group (Team YarnGasm or Team Subway Knits-- it really doesn't matter, this is just for fun)
- KAL ends June 30th. On that date, Maria and I will pick 1 winner from each group using a random number generator.
- Each winner will receive a set of stitch markers from Velvet Hippo.

A headline is not a eulogy. A headline's purpose should be to help us to determine what's important in a news event. And while I realize the constant assault of our newsfeeds leads to higher-stake headlines, what's important is that a teenager -- not an "honor student" -- has been killed.
Sadly this is the reality our country lives in. Many Americans, young and old, do not pay attention to local or state elections. Less than 18 percent of registered voters cast a ballot in Michigan's primary this year.
We grasp tightly onto our dirty, old habits of prejudice by focusing on the surface issues of race, when instead I believe the world is much more dynamic and simplified if we infuse a larger dose of humanity back into it.
To the modern right, black gain is white pain. The more respectable among them have learned that if you pretend to believe that racism does not exist, despite the undeniable evidence, you can perpetuate white supremacist outcomes indefinitely.
This cause is part of America's great unfinished business. We all have a moral obligation to carry on until the dream of equality is reached in full.
The crime of killing someone is now turned into a battle of narratives where the only other person who could challenge the narrative is dead, and millions of people simply believe that the unarmed black man deserved his fate.
The election of Barack Obama was the Lexington and Concord in the latest great battle of race in America. We are a nation at war with itself. For all of our desire to move beyond the narrow confines of many of the events of our tragic history, we cannot. The president's election gave new life to what had been lying dangerously dormant for the better part of 50 years.
If you happen to be a follower of Jesus who believes LGBT people have suffered injustice at the hands of the church, your response to that injustice is a moral question.
f I put myself completely in the shoes of Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown, or even a black man denied the opportunity to board a taxi cab, I must accept the reality that my world and my America isn't their world and their America.
For the majority of unarmed black folks who everyday fear for their lives, despite them doing nothing wrong, my advice to you is stop leaving the house unarmed. Arm yourself with knowledge of the system, civics and politics
At Served Fresh, tasteful designers craft delectable treats for hungry fashionistas inspired by urban news and trending topics. Their unique designs serve as walking billboards emphasizing important and distinct messages.
Despite good grades, accomplishments, pleasant manners and common sense, many of our sons are seen as aggressive or prone to violence. When they transgress, as kids will always do, they are judged on a double standard.
It's time to listen to the hopes and fears of all Americans. It's time to recognize the injustices that we must eliminate to ensure all Americans can pursue their dreams. And we must do it before the rage our nation has witnessed permanently supplants hope.
What is needed is exactly what the Kerner Commission recommended to the country 46 years ago: a comprehensive shift in the priorities of our social spending away from the military-industrial-prison complex and toward widespread development of impoverished parts of America.
One possible way to empathize with the plight of my fellow Americans is to imagine a world where statistics from the Pew Research Center, NAACP, and other reputable sources are reversed.
The history of the prosecution of alleged perpetrators of violence against African American victims brought about with heavy public and political pressure hasn't been good for the alleged victims and those who conducted the prosecution.

Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences 6(1) 53-59 (1993) 53 STABILITY OF CYANOCOBALAMIN IN PARENTERAL PREPARATIONS IQBAL AHMAD AND WAHID HUSSAIN Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan ABSTRACT The stability of sewn commercial parenteral preparations of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) on storage under normal laboratory conditions for a period of twelve months has been studied using a two component spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of eyanocobalamin and the degradation product, hydrosocobalamin, at 550 and 525 rim. The single ingredient vitamin H12 preparations have been found to be stable and the potency lies within the B.P. limits. In multi-ingredient (B1 + B6 + B12) preparations cyanocobalamin is unstable and degrades from 28% to 37% with concomitant formation of hydroxocobalamin (1.7% to 25.5%) and oxidation products amounting to 56.4% ± 9.3. Thus more than half of the vitamin content is lost during storage and these preparations are not suitable for parenteral use. INTRODUCTION Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) injection is a sterile aqueous solution of cyanocobalamin containing sufficient acetic acid or hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH to about 4 using a suitable buffering agent (B.P., 1988). The official requirements for the pH of cyanocobalamin injections are between 3.8 and 55 (B.P., 1988) and 4.7 to 7.0 (U.S.P., 1990). Commercial cyanocobalamin parenteral preparations are available either as vitamin BI2 alone or in combination with B vitamins such as thiamine (B1) and pyridoxine (B6). Sterile aqueous solutions of vitamin B12 are stable at pH 4.5-5. However, the presence of reducing agents even in trace quantities can markedly influence potency as a result of irreversible oxidation (Macek, 1960). Cyanocobalamin is converted to hydroxocobalamin (B12b) at pH 35-65 on exposure to light (Baxter et al, 1953) as indicated by the decrease in absorbance at 361 nm (Bayer, 1964). The photolysis follows zero-order kinetics (Vogler et al, 1976) and cyanocobalamin has maximum stability in the pH range 6-7 (Ahmad et al., 1992). In parenteral solutions, cyanocobalamin is unstable in the presence of thiamine and nicotinamide (Blitz et al., 1954, 1956; Mukherjee and Sen, 1959; Dale and Booth, 1976) as well as their degradation products (Feller and Macek, 1955; Mukherjee and Sen, 1959; Heathcote and Wills, 1962). Amide cyclization and amide hydrolysis in acidic and basic media also contribute to the overall stability of B12 solutions (Kirschbaum, 1981; Connors et al., 1986).

54Stability of cyanocobalmin in parenterals The study of the stability of cyanocobalamin is complicated by the fact that in degraded solutions the official methods (B.P., 1988; U.S.P., 1990) for the assay of cyanocobalamin (361 nm) and hydroxocobalamin (351 nm) are not applicable due to their mutual interference. The presence of even up to about 10% of Bum in degraded solutions may not show any shift in absorption at 361 nm and preservatives absorbing in this region may also interfere with the assay (Hasluni, 1973). Other methods (Bader et al., 1953; Heathcote and Duff, 1954; Bayer, 1964; DeWitt and Muck, 1973; Horvath and Szepesi, 1978) for the determination of B12 and B12b are time consuming and give only approximate results. In the present work a newly developed spectrophotometric method (Ahmad et al., 1992) has been applied to investigate the stability of cyanocobalamin in parenteral preparations by simultaneous determination of B12 and B12b at 550 and 525 nm. Similar specific methods (Fareedi, 1976; Husain, 1987; Ahmad and Hussain, 1992) have been used to study the photolysis of cyanocobalamin in presence of other vitamins. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cyanocobalamin and hydroxocobalamin (Eur.P.) were obtained from Fluka (Switzerland) and were found to be chromatographically pure. All solvents and reagents were analytical grade or of the purest form available from BDH/Merck. Parenteral preparations of cyanocobalamin made by different manufacturers were procured from the market (Table 1) and stored in the original containers and packaging at room temperature (25°-28°C) for a period of 12 months under normal laboratory light conditions. Cyanocobalamin and hydroxocobalamin in fresh and degraded solutions were determined according to the method of Ahmed et al (1992) by a two-component spectrophotometric assay at 550 and 525 nm. All determinations were carried out in duplicate and the results are presented as averages. When the duplicate results showed a variation of more than five percent, the assays were repeated until satisfactory data obtained. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION All commercial samples of vitamin B12 preparations, on storage for 12 months, showed the presence of hydroxocobalamin as a degradation product. This was confirmed by thin layer chromatography on silica gel using the previously described solvent systems (Ahmad et al., 1992). The pH of the samples varied from 3.25 to 5.50 (fresh) and from 3.53 to 5.96 (stored) indicating a slight increase in the pH value during storage (Table 2). This is probably due to the formation of hydroxocobalamin [Co3+ OH] which exists as an equilibrium mixture with aquocobalamin (pKa 7.8; Hayward et al., 1965).

IQBAL AHMAD and WAHID HUSSAIN 57Among the stored samples of vitamin Biz the single ingredient (BI2) samples 1,2 and 3 (1000 µg/ml), contained 99.0, 102.6 and 95.0% cyanocobalamin respectively of the labeled amount, and 25,12 and 27 µg/ml (2.5,1.2 and 2.8%) respectively of hydroxocobalamin as a degradation product (Table 2). Since the official limits for the content of anhydrous cyanocobalamin in B12 injections are 95.0 to 115.0% (B.P., 1988) and 95.0 to 115.0% (U.S.P., 1990) of the labelled amount, the cyanocobalamin content of single ingredient samples (1-3) lies within the pharmacopoeia) limits and, therefore, storage for 12 months under normal laboratory conditions does not appear to affect the potency of these preparations. The multi-ingredient (B1+ B6 + B12) samples 4-7 (B12 1000 µg/ml), on storage for 12 months, showed 37.0, 36.9, 27.8 and 28.0% cyanocobalamin respectively of the labelled amount and 52.7, 6.5, 95 and 20 µg/ml (12.4, 1.7, 25.5 and 5.3%) respectively of hydroxocobalamin (Table 2). In all the samples, vitamin B12 loss is much greater than the prescribed pharmacopoeial limits and, therefore, these samples are not suitable for clinical use. Since the loss of cyanocobalamin is not in accordance with the formation of hydroxocobalamin, the possibility of further degradation to irreversible oxidation products (Macek, 1960) can not be excluded. An estimate of the degradation products indicated that more than half of the vitamin content (56.4% ± 9.3) is converted to the oxidation products and about one-tenth (11.2% 3 10.8) to hydroxocobalamin. The large deviation in hydroxo-cobalamin value (1.7 to 25.5%) may be due to variations in the degree of interaction of B12 with other vitamins in the preparations and subsequent loss of Rim to oxidation products. Vitamin B1 and its decomposition products, which possess reducing properties, are known to destabilize cyanocobalamin solutions (Blitz et at, 1954; Mukherjee and Sen, 1955) and cause degradation of B12 to B12b and other products as observed in the compound preparations of vitamin B12. Appropriate stabilizing agents (Linter, 1973; Kirschbaum, 1981; Martin, 1983) may be used to preserve the potency of cyanocobalamin in the presence of other vitamins in parenteral and other liquid preparations. Such preparations should be protected from light during storage to prevent the formation of B12b, which leads to the destruction of B12 to inactive products. On the basis of the data obtained in this study it may be suggested that the manufacturer should use reliable stability- indicating methods to determine the intact drug content during storage testing and ensure that the product would maintain its labelled potency within the prescribed pharmacopoeial limits until its expiration date. Due consideration should be given to drug interactions in multi-ingredient preparations and suitable measures taken to minimise them during storage.

But the father-son connection is nothing compared to husband-wife. The relationship between a father and an adult son is psychological and abstract; the connection between husband and wife, concrete and quotidian. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife. George Bush, pere, didn't move back into the White House in January 2001.
Which is why Hillary's problem goes beyond discomfort with dynastic succession. It's deep unease about a shared presidency. Forget about Bill, the bad boy. The problem is William Jefferson Clinton, former president of the United States, commander in chief of the Armed Forces, George Washington's representative on earth.
We have never had an ex-president move back into the White House. When in 1992 Bill Clinton promised "two for the price of one," it was taken as a slightly hyperbolic promotion of the role of first lady. This time we would literally be getting two presidents.
Any ex-president is a presence in his own right. His stature, unlike, say, Hillary's during Bill's presidency, is independent of his spouse. From day one of Hillary's inauguration, Bill will have had more experience than her at everything she touches. His influence on her presidency would necessarily be immeasurably greater than that of any father on any son.
Americans did not like the idea of a co-presidency when, at the 1980 Republican convention, Ronald Reagan briefly considered sharing the office with former President Gerald Ford. (Ford would have been vice president with independent powers.) And they won't like this co-presidency, particularly because the Clinton partnership involves two characters caught in the dynamic of a strained, strange marriage.
The cloud hovering over a Hillary presidency is not Bill padding around the White House in robe and slippers flipping thongs. It's President Clinton, in suit and tie, simply present in the White House when any decision is made. The degree of his involvement in that decision will inevitably become an issue. Do Americans really want a historically unique two-headed presidency constantly buffeted by the dynamics of a highly dysfunctional marriage?
Only one solution comes to mind. Argentine-U.S. relations are quite rocky these days. The posting of a charming and dynamic ex-president to the Kirchner court in Buenos Aires might do those relations a world of good. The Romans had a fine appreciation for the art of exile. This might be an excellent occasion for us to start cultivating it.

Fireworks vendors ready for end of year
Published: Friday, December 23, 2011 at 10:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 23, 2011 at 10:42 p.m.
With the year almost at an end, fireworks tents and stands are popping up across the area, ready to cater to holiday revelers.
"This is a big time for us," said Denise Pitre, who was setting up a Cajun Fireworks stand in Bayou Blue on Wednesday morning.
Fireworks stands opened Dec. 17 in Lafourche and will remain open through Jan. 3. The sale and use of fireworks is banned in Terrebonne and inside the incorporated parts of Thibodaux.
"People set off fireworks on Christmas Eve, all during Christmas Day, and of course during New Year's," Pitre said.
Mary Bertinot, who operates another Cajun Fireworks stand down Bayou Blue Road from Pitre, said she usually sells about $30,000 worth of fireworks this time of year, comparable to Independence Day weekend.
Of that amount, about a third is sold before Christmas, while the rest is sold before the New Year's holiday.
Both vendors say the most popular kinds of fireworks are family or variety packs, which include a mix of sparklers, Roman candles, mortars and other standard explosive fare.
Also popular are speciality rockets and water dynamite, especially down the bayou.
"Kids love to throw that stuff into the water and see it shoot up," Bertinot said, grinning.
Enjoying fireworks safely during the winter requires extra precautions, fireworks vendors say.
"For the Fourth of July, everything's humid and basically wet," said Ray Bertinot, Mary's husband and co-operator. "During the winter, everything's drier, so you have to be a lot more careful with where your light goes."
Strong winds are also more common during the winter, which the Bertinots say can easily steer airborne fireworks into dangerous areas — like neighbors' roofs.
"A lot of people don't think the wind is going to take things as far as it does," she said. "If it's really windy out, you need to think about maybe waiting until it's not so bad."
Winds can also blow out lighters and matches that party-goers use to light fuses, which sometimes makes people stay closer to the fireworks for longer — a recipe for disaster.
That's why Pitre recommends buying "punks," inexpensive wicks that can be found at most fireworks stores.
"Those let you stay back from what you're lighting," she said. "And they don't go out so easily."

Nice work.
Just beautiful i just wish it was 1920x1080 for dam this cloud be a nice wallpaper and you are just epic!
how do you feel when you look at these photos of yourself?
Very Nice!
Amazing cosplay ^^
Read a little bit of your Aspen build from your web site. That is helluva job you did building the Fathom suit. Good job. How come there isn't more photos as Aspen?
Whoa, that's really great! The armor looks fantastic. My only critique, which is more for the photographer, is that your shadow is being cast behind you from the lights used for the pic and the sun should be casting it back the other way.
I get what you're saying. It was really a rushed job though because it was so freezing cold. We didn't want to be out there very long and for that I'm grateful for how fast he was able to manage putting these together. Sure they could have been better but hey, I'm pretty happy with how these turned out too.
She came from the sea.
Any cosplay, that justifies showing you in an outfit like that gets a thumbs up from me
In all seriousness, breathtaking shot!
In all seriousness, breathtaking shot!
Beautifully done!!
I love Fathom. Great job.
Wow looking good
I love the detail work of the armor. Was it specially form fitted to your body? It looks like it would be comfortable.
Yes I sculpted it on a fiberglass body double of myself. It wasn't that comfortable since it didn't have much stretch to it, but it wasn't too bad.

Narrow your search
There are better 4G phones to be found, but none of them come close to the low price tag on the Kogan Agora 4G.
Typical price: $229.00
There are some limitations, but overall, this is a quad-core Android smartphone that represents impressive value for money.
Typical price: $179.00
The Agora ICS tablet is great value for money, so long as you are prepared to sacrifice performance and battery life for an astonishingly low ticket price.
Typical price: $179.00
If you're familiar with Android, you'll feel at home with an Agora Dongle in your living room. Just be sure you don't want an Apple TV first.
Typical price: $99.00
The Agora is cheap for an Android tablet, but its not good value for money. For all of the features on offer, we can't overlook the significant sacrifices in core elements of the tablet computing experience.
Typical price: $189.00
The Agora brings the concept of a low-cost netbook firmly back on the agenda, but its woeful wireless performance seriously detracts from its value proposition.
Typical price: $539.00
Kogan's budget Agora phone gets a 4G upgrade, offering a solid experience for a very low price.
The Kogan Agora is a new Android phone that costs just £120, with two SIM card slots to save you money when travelling.
So, you want a tablet, but you're not willing to pay iPad prices for one? We rip the plastic off the AU$179 Kogan Agora tablet to see how much computer you get for your money.

Like many people, I have a computer hard drive crammed with files: documents, audio, video, PowerPoint presentations — you name it, I have it.
When it was time to replace my aging PC a couple of months ago, I got price quotes for a blazing fast Windows 7 machine that came with mega huge storage. "You won't need another machine for a few years," said my IT person.
I was all set to buy it when I walked into the Apple store with my son to get the machine he'd been saving for for months . . . and a half hour later, walked out with a 13″ MacBook Pro.
At first I thought I'd use the machine as my personal laptop. It's small, it's portable, but it definitely was not a business computer.
When my aging PC started acting funny, I began migrating my business to the Mac — thinking I'd purchase a larger iMac later in the year.
In the process of moving, however, I discovered having a "small" computer was actually quite freeing.
Based on the "less is more" principal, here's how having the small MacBook has made me much more productive:
1. I dumped (almost) all of my software — With the exception of the slimmed down version of Microsoft Office for the Mac, all other software is now cloud-based.
2. I cleaned up my hard drive — Last year I spent a week cleaning out my physical office and removed piles and piles of paper. This past month I've cleaned out megabytes of unneeded files gathering dust on my hard drive. Cleaning out all this junk has made it much easier to find the files I need on a day-to-day basis.
3. I work glitch-free — With my PC, I was spending increasing amounts of time dealing with technology. Due to anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-pop-ups, anti-scripting, anti-anything software and browser plugins, nothing worked right.
Clients would point out things on Websites that I couldn't see. Java never worked properly, rendering some applications useless. Then of course, there were the famous Window reboots that would happen right in the middle of a project I was working on. Argh!
Now everything just works. I'm finding I'm much more productive since I don't have to stop mid-stream to deal with some "small" technological glitch that would leave me pulling out my hair.
In short, having my MacBook has freed me to do what I love: Create.
Have you moved from a PC to Mac? If so, what kind of Mac do you own and what do you find is the biggest benefit?

Greetings bidders, I require a currency trading checklist/journal, made in excel 2010 and compatible with excel 2003,2007 and the MAC equivalent to excel. It is to be used as a rule based process for entering trades, and to also use the information of each trade to be used as a trading journal for learning. I will eventually require this same checklist to have an "upload" capability that has the ability to post the excel checklist fields to a MySQL database. This database will be used to run future web-based accessible trading journal, and possibly iPad trading journal application, that allows the user to be able to view all the trades as a trading journal format. The future database driven web-based journal and iPAD journal application mentioned is NOT part of this project. I just wanted you to keep that in mind so when you design the basic structure of this checklist, that it can be incorporated to support that additional functioning at a later date when I am ready for phase 2.

Affected by someone else's addiction
Affected by someone else's addiction
Addiction can affect the lives of families, friends, partners & carers. If you are worried about someone else's drug or alcohol misuse, or you need some advice or someone to talk to, CRI can help.
Our local services can support you with up-to-date advice, factual information and support. CRI can support families, partners, friends & carers to share your experiences of living with or caring for someone with drug or alcohol problems, and help to keep you safe throughout that process.
Many family members find themselves asking whether they are to blame for their loved one's problem – "What did I do wrong? Is it something I've done?"
You may also experience feelings of guilt, hopelessness, shame, isolation, depression and anger. Many people feel overwhelmed by trying to cope with someone else's problems with alcohol or drugs.
Your concern for the person you care about can make it hard to consider your own wellbeing, so CRI family support services are here to help you recognise that your quality of life, health & well-being are just as important.
CRI support services can help you to think about what you would find most helpful in living with the presence of substance misuse. We can support you to reduce your stress and increase your personal wellbeing by teaching you to climb off the merry-go-round, to stop being the rescuer or enabler and to put yourself first.
It can be all too common for violence and substance misuse to go hand in hand. If this sounds familiar, you need to understand how to keep yourself safe. CRI family support services can help you learn how to do this and can assist you in ensuring that you have a safety plan in place.
Useful hints to keeping safe & well
- Ask someone else to take over things at home, or decide to let things just take care of themselves for a while
- Access your nearest family support group
- Make time to do something nice just for you
- Revisit activities you enjoy that you may have let slide as life became harder
- Call 999 in emergencies.
When things are at their worst, it is hard to think about what you can do, or to consider simple things such as:
- Have an emergency bag packed with a change of clothes & containing all your essential & important documents
- Identify another family member or close friend who would be willing to make their home a safe haven for you
- Have the number of your local domestic abuse service(s) on your person at all times
These are just some of the things you can put in place. CRI family support services will be able to help you to identify patterns to your loved ones drinking &/or drug use alongside any red flag alerters.
Don't suffer in silence & isolation, take the first step in your own recovery today & call your nearest project.

RTL.DE: DSDS 2013 - Bill and Tom Kaulitz made a clear statement!
DSDS 2013: Juror Bill Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel looks forward to the tenth season of DSDS with Dieter Bohlen in the jury.
The tenth season of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" starts on 5th January 2013, at 20.15 on RTL. This time, the twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz are beside Mateo Culcha Candela and Dieter Bohlen in DSDS jury. In the interview, the two reveal why they have decided to take part in the jury of "Deutchland sucht den Superstar" 2013, and to give useful tips to the candidates.
What motivated you to take up the job as a judge on DSDS?
We spent the last year trying to pull us completely out of the public and go to the studio, but especially times to take a break. This year, it just fit at the request of DSDS, and we can realize good addition to the current and ongoing work in the studio.
Tom: So far we have rejected all offers of this kind.
Bill: We have also always said that if we are jurors somewhere, then in the original and the biggest show.
Tom: The very last kick has given us Steven Tyler, when he was a juror the last year in the American version of DSDS (American Idol). We think it's right that casting formats rely on real artists as jurors and thus get another seriousness and musical level.
Do you two can see the success of DSDS?
Bill: I think it's the show with the highest quality production and that the winner is the biggest platform for commercial success.
Tom: DSDS has almost something traditional. It is the classic format and casting will probably be successful forever.
DSDS judge Bill Kaulitz: "I will recognize him/her immediately if he or she stands in front of me"
What do you need to be the future superstar?
Bill: If it fits, it fits! I will recognize him/her immediately if he or she stands in front of me. Basically I want strong characters, individuality and recognition!
Tom: In addition, we would be happy to female applicants with genuine talent. In Germany there are only few good artists!
What tips would you give to the candidates?
Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel will be a strict judge.
Tom: All girls, put on something short! Then you've already managed half! This is a man's jury. Tip for others: Stay at home if you can't sing!
Bill: Prepare yourself well, I have no desire to guess lyrics or waiting to melodies. Pick out the song that you can sing the best and not the one that is most difficult.
Will you be a strict jury?
Tom: Yes!
Bill: At least I'll try to be honest.
Are you looking forward to your colleagues?
Tom: Of course! That will be quite funny. Dieter Bohlen is yes for DSDS. We don't know about Mateo, but let us surprise you. We were so far in Germany and this with DSDS will help us to be fully charged before we go one the road with the band.
Bill: We are looking forward to work with Dieter Bohlen in the tenth season of DSDS.

Thank God For Friday And Other Stuff
Standing at the entrance of the Christopher Street PATH station our bike trip had come to a standstill. I doubted I had the upper body strength to carry my Russian tanker of a mountain bike and Savanna's snazzy Aqua blue Schwinn down those killer stairs. I had two choices: turn back now and send my daughter the message it's okay to give up, or break my neck trying.
I was ready to offer Savannah ice cream in exchange for nixing the idea of biking in Hoboken when I heard a voice from behind. "Can I get this for 'ya?" it said.

Why I Empathize With Woody Allen
On Friday Woody Allen responded to his daughter Dylan's sexual abuse allegations with a letter in the New York Times. (See New York Times).
When I read the Op-Ed I felt sick to my stomach, and not because I think the famous writer/director is a pedophile, and for the fact of the matter, nor did the experts at the Yale-New Haven Hospital who investigated the case 21 years ago and found the claims unsubstantiated. It's because I too have been the target of an angry, vindictive ex years after we've parted ways.

When the woman at the Jersey Boys Box Office asked if I wanted to sit in the orchestra, I immediately thought it was some sort of theatre scam.
I have been a "Balcony Girl" my entire life and the tickets, as a testament to my status in the theatre world caste system, were bought during a Theatre Week promotion. I was prepared to take my tickets and head north, but noticed she was eyeing the seating chart on her screen.

Is It The Mother Or School?
I recently found out that U.S. ranked a shameful 16th out of 23 countries in literacy proficiency. Topping the list is Japan, Netherlands and Finland.
It begs the question: is it the teaching and testing methods in those countries or that more mothers are on board with screaming every morning: "Put your coat on. We're going to be late for school!"

|Also Known As:
|Ethan Green Hawke
|November 6, 1970
|Cause of Death:
|Birth Place:
|Austin, Texas, USA
|Cast ... actor novelist screenwriter director editor
Even though he exhibited star-making potential in films like "Dead Poets Society" (1989) and "Reality Bites" (1994), actor Ethan Hawke chose instead to be something of a Gen-X Renaissance Man, starring in offbeat movies, publishing modestly-acclaimed novels, directing artsy independent films and even forming his own Manhattan-based theater company. Though he did make occasional forays into pricey studio films like "Gattaca" (1997), "Great Expectations" (1998) and "Training Day" (2001), Hawke was more at home pursuing his artistic ambitions for art's sake, not for large pay days or widespread recognition. Perhaps nowhere was this more apparent than his several collaborations with director Richard Linklater, with whom the actor most notably starred in "Before Sunrise" (1995), "Waking Life" (2001) and "Before Sunset" (2004). Hawke did suffer the fate of most celebrities by landing in the tabloids for his widely publicized divorce with actress Uma Thurman after rumors of infidelity, but he continued to chart his own course on both stage and screen, making Hawke one of the more intriguing and unpredictable actors of his generation.
