WITH HER DUAL WORST ACTRESS NOMINATION for 2010 (LINK) JENNIFER ANISTON IS at a TIPPING POINT in HER CAREER: SHE CAN EITHER REDEEM HERSELF by CHOOSING HER PROJECTS with MORE CARE and CLASS UP HER ACT...OR SHE CAN KEEP GOING the WAY SHE HAS BEEN, and WIND UP BACK on a SITCOM in FIVE YEARS THAT MAY LAST 5 EPISODES on the CW.
JUST GO WITH IT, in WHICH ANISTON CO-STARS with 10-TIME RAZZIE® NOMINEE (and OUR 1999 WORST ACTOR "WINNER") ADAM SANDLER, MAKES IT LOOK LIKE ANISTON HAS DECIDED to HEAD BACK to SIT-COM LAND. ANOTHER of THOSE WRITTEN-by-a-COMMITTEE/BIG STUDIO 'PACKAGE' FILMS, GO WITH IT TAKES ITS PLOT from the 1969 OSCAR® WINNER CACTUS FLOWER, for WHICH GOLDIE HAWN WON BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS. IT CENTERS on SANDLER's CHARACTER GETTING CAUGHT in a LIE, and COMPOUNDING HIS ERROR by 'JUST GOING WITH IT.' SEEMS SANDLER WEARS a WEDDING RING to WARD OFF ANY THOUGHTS of MARRIAGE from the ENDLESS STRING of BODACIOUS BABES WHO NATURALLY GRAVITATE to HUNKY ADAM's BOUDOIR (APPARENTLY, IT's ALSO a ROMANTIC FANTASY -- AT LEAST for SANDLER's EGO) BUT WHEN 'THE RIGHT ONE' COMES ALONG, RATHER THAN ADMIT the RING IS a LIE, ADAM INVEILS UPON JENNIFER to PRETEND SHE's HIS WIFE. ADAM HAS HER TELL the NUBILE NEWBIE THAT SHE WANTS a DIVORCE, and ALL BUT PUSH 'MS. RIGHT' INTO BED with SANDLER. IN the ORIGINAL, SANDLER's PART WAS PLAYED by WALTER MATTHAU and ANISTON's by...INGRID BERGMAN(!)...
THE RESULTING FILM IS UTTERLY PEDESTRIAN, with a TRULY WRETCHED SCRIPT, INANE DIALOGUE and ROBOTIC PERFORMANCES. AS the ICING on the TURD, IT WAS HELMED by HACK-for-HIRE (and 2-TIME WORST DIRECTOR NOMINEE) DENNIS DUGAN, WHICH ALL BUT GUARANTEED IT WOULD BE the CLUNKER IT SO PAINFULLY IS...
IF YOU'D LIKE to GET IN ON the RAZZ-ING, HERE's the LINK to DO SO...
SHE LOOKS LIKE a TRAINED DOG JONESing for a
MILKBONE...and HE LOOKS LIKE HE'D RATHER BE
for 'SCREEN CHEMISTRY' in 2011??

For one-night only on September 11 (sets at 7 & 9) at the Dakota, jazz fans are in for a rare treat with a performance featuring the United Trumpet Summit consisting of some of today's most respected and celebrated modern trumpet players including Randy Brecker, Eddie Henderson, Jeremy Pelt, and Leon Jordan, Jr.
You may recall trumpeter Randy Brecker performed with the JazzMN orchestra not long ago, and Jeremy Pelt appeared at the Artists' Quarter a few years back. It's good to welcome them back to the Twin Cities in a whole new setting. Brecker is the brother of the late influential saxophonist Michael Brecker. The versatile musician is at home playing everything from jazz, and rock, to R&B. And like Pelt, Brecker also played with the Mingus Big Band. Continue Reading →

Spring Break In Tampa
Could there have been a better place in March to hold a woodworking show than in Florida? This last weekend, March 16-18, the Woodworking Shows opened their doors in Tampa at the State Fairgrounds. We have used this venue for years so the area woodworkers knew where to find us and we knew what to expect.
On Friday, a nice crowd awaited the starting bell at noon and attendance stayed fairly consistent until about 4PM. Saturday was definitely the busiest day of the weekend with packed aisles and good sales reported by the vendors. Sunday started light but the crowd grew all day right up to the free bandsaw giveaway at 3PM. Attendance at the educational seminars seemed pretty strong throughout the weekend and those who came to my classes spent the entire day in the booth. I think that we all enjoyed each other's company.
I also had a great weekend. I had the chance to spend some quality time with a couple of good friends. I was invited out to the home of Mark Hensley. Mark was well known to show goers when he sold Leigh jigs and later as a lecturer teaching finishing and model building. The "professor" and his wife provided great company at their home in the country. Though he misses the show circuit, he said that he is really enjoying his retirement. I also had a chance to sit for an hour and have a cup of coffee with a very prolific blogger and WOOD Magazine contributor, Tom Iorvino. As the "Shop Monkey", Tom has a unique perspective on the interests and motivation of the average woodworker and writes about it with a very engaging touch of humor.
I was impressed by the interests of a local woodworking club. The Florida West Coast Woodworkers Club has partnered with PET FL-Tampa. The PET group produces hand carts to enable those with ambulatory difficulties. Hundreds of these carts have been sent to all parts of the globe with the help of the volunteers at the Florida Woodworkers Club. To get more information about this very worthy cause, you can visit www.pettampa.org.
The Show Off Showcase had some very nice entries this last weekend. The overall winning vote getter was the "Turning Block Sofa Table" by Terry Sanchez. Second place went to Charles Kested"s "23rd Psalm" and finally, third place was awarded to Philip R Aalli's "Toward The Sunrise". Each winner chose a tool from the Bosch Tool Company. There was a nice crowd at the award presentation and they were encouraged to submit one of their own efforts for next year's show.
I apologize that there are no images with this week's post. I did not go home on Sunday as I usually do and I've had some issues getting my traveling computer to do as I've asked. You can find images of the weekend at www.thewoodworkingshows.com and also on their Facebook page.
All in all, the Tampa show was a good and it will be on the schedule for the 2012-2013 season. And, with the current season quickly coming to an end, I hope that you'll get a chance to see us at one of the last two shows. We will be in Charlotte at The Park on Briar Creek the week of March 23-25 and finally in the Houston area in Katy's Leonard Merrell Center March 30-April 1. Make sure you preregister to beat the lines at the door and, while you're there, check out the coupon to save $2 off the admission price. When you come to the show, make sure to stop in at the WOOD Magazine booth. And when you do, plan on staying a while. I've got a lot to show you. Besides, I like some good conversation.
The Woodworking Shows is very proud of the product that they have created and promise to add even more to next year. Your feedback is very important to those of us involved in planning for an enjoyable experience. Feel free to offer suggestions at www. thewoodworkingshows.com.
'Til then, I'll see you on the road.

Thanks for getting my order out so quickly, even with it being placed with the manufacturer. I received my Carolina boots last week. Thank you also for being one of the few places to carry women's steel toe boots. They are required at my job, and I am really happy to have these new high-quality boots!"

WASHINGTON – The next few weeks may be a good time to buy that HDTV.
March and April typically mark the time when new television models come out and retailers mark down older models to move them out the door. But there's another reason why now might be the best time to buy.
Consumer Reports says some major manufacturers are moving to a pricing policy on certain television models that would penalize retailers for selling them below a price set by the manufacturer.
The move means some stepped-up 2012 sets will have fixed prices, similar to how Apple and Bose products are sold at the same price point regardless of the retailer, according to Consumer Reports.
Samsung and Sony are expected to make the pricing switch April 1. To see which television models are likely to be affected, follow this link.

Two part-time 4-wheel drive (4WD) systems, one with low-range gearing, are now available for the Mercedes Sprinter. To prevent the slab-sided Sprinter from being blown around, Crosswind Assist uses the Electronic Stability Program to keep the vehicle in line. Service interval for the 2015 Mercedes Sprinter is extended to 20,000 miles.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is all-new this year, with new exterior and interior styling, a new standard 4-cylinder diesel engine with a 7-speed automatic transmission and additional accident-avoidance safety equipment. There is more high-end optional equipment too, such as an available onboard navigation radio by Becker.
The vast majority of Mercedes Sprinters will be commercial vans, acting as delivery vehicles, airport shuttles, executive transport, and far more. The Sprinter van is available in five configurations, ranging from the Sprinter minibus to the bare Sprinter cab chassis. All are available as either the Sprinter 2500 or the heavy duty Sprinter 3500. The larger size, greater carrying capacity, and more comfortable driver's area of the Sprinter van will make it a favorite of professional drivers. The purchasing department will scrutinize Mercedes' promise of lower long-term operating costs when it sees the Mercedes Sprinter van's higher purchase price. Competition is led by the far-less-expensive Ford Transit and also includes the new Nissan NV and Ram ProMaster, and the aging Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana.

FLOR story: Music to Our Ears
Posted by FLOR | Filed under Musings
We love to hear when one of our customers falls in love with their FLOR. Check out how Lisa used Short Shag and Velvet Twist to create the perfect rug for her not-so-perfectly-shaped space.
Dear Flor,
Attached is the rug I designed for my piano room. The room has angled walls, and your square rug concept allowed me to create a rug that not only match the space with regard to color, but also match the shape. Only Flor could have made this rug perfect for my space. The checkerboard pattern of flat and shag carpet is elegant and unique. And the boarder is just amazing. We love the rug and Flor. We currently have three Flor rugs and are working on the fourth right now.
Thank you,
Lisa K

[1] So in original. Probably should be "willful".

In subsec. (f)(1), "section 60105 of title 46" substituted for "section 4197 of the Revised Statutes of the United States (46 App. U.S.C. 91)" on authority of Pub. L. 109–304, § 18(c),Oct. 6, 2006, 120 Stat. 1709, which Act enacted section 60105 of Title 46, Shipping.
1996—Subsec. (f). Pub. L. 104–324amended heading and text of subsec. (f) generally. Prior to amendment, text read as follows: "The Secretary of the Treasury shall withhold or revoke, at the request of the Secretary, the clearance, required by section 91 of title 46, Appendix, of any vessel, the owner or operator of which is subject to any of the penalties in this section. Clearance may be granted in such cases upon the filing of a bond or other surety satisfactory to the Secretary."
1990—Subsec. (b)(1). Pub. L. 101–380, § 4302(j)(1), substituted "commits a class D felony" for "shall be fined not more than $50,000 for each violation or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both".

This week in the crazy, it was one of us.
Well, one of us who clearly had a few mental problems — and I'm not talking about James Lee's manifestoed belief that the world is overpopulated by "filthy" humans. That part's true, as is the part about war being incredibly damaging.
But just because you're right about some things doesn't mean you're right about everything. Lee's chosen methods to get his point across … more than that, really. The delusional Lee wasn't really trying to his point across to the Discovery Channel. He wanted the Discovery Channel to get his point across to everybody else for him. Bottom line, James Lee wasn't interested in dialog or debate. He wanted absolute change.
And that is Difference No. 1 between Lee and, say, Richard Poplawski, the Pittsburgh nutcase who holed himself up in the house he shared with his mother and killed three cops. Poplawski wasn't looking for change. He believed Barack Obama was coming for his guns because Glenn beck told him so. Poplawski wanted things to stay the same.
It's truly disheartening when One of Us adopts the tactics of the conservatives, who generally have no internal prohibitions on using violence, physical or verbal, when they don't get their way. We're supposed to be better than that, aren't we?
But alas, leftists have a history of violent outbursts too, although, as noted above, it's generally employed in the service of change to an unbearable system. Sometimes it works for the better (the American revolution) and sometimes it doesn't (the Bolshevik revolution in Russia).
Still … why would a guy who holds a lot of the same ideals we hold arm himself to the teeth and barge into Discovery Communications? Frustration, maybe. We filthy humans appear to have no clue what we're doing to the planet with our pollution and unsustainable population growth. The latter, in fact, is the elephant in the room that nobody, and I do mean nobody, wants to talk about. "Be fruitful and multiply" made sense back when earth's entire human population was maybe about 4 million widely-spread people. Now? Not so much.
Frustration, though — that shouldn't spark violence.Iif it should, there'd be even more violence in the world than there already is.
Some of my esteemed colleagues, particularly those with progressive tendencies, are pointing to some apparently anti-immigrant lines in Lee's screed — filthy anchor babies, etc. — in an attempt to portray him as a right-winger. But what he writes in that section reads more like an add-on — he heard this stuff on the television in the background of his delusions and thought it fit with his general "humans stop breeding" campaign, so he added it.
He wasn't a right-winger though. They don't come in an atheist, Darwin-loving variety, although, frankly the Darwin-loving part is a little skewed. He seems to be more interested in returning to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle pre-dating the invention of farming, and I can't quite figure if he wants us to shrink the population or eliminate it. It was certainly more sustainable then. But he is quite right about modern life messing up Darwin's theories a bit. Natural selection has become very unnatural selection — ain't nothin natural about having more money than god or the ability to build and deploy the nastiest weapons.But neither is wrapping yourself in bombs and bringing guns into a television network, although now we approach Difference No. 2 between our man Lee and, say, Jim David Adkisson, who charged into a Tennessee church during a children's performance and started shooting, killing 2. In fact, Lee wouldn't have done any damage even if he had stormed in with guns a-blazin. He was carrying a pair of starter pistols.
Adkisson, like Lee, left a manifesto — and the latest books by Fox personalities Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly — although his manifesto was handwritten and not posted on the interwebz. In it, he complained that liberalism was America's worst problem and that liberals are "a bunch of traitors." Oh, and liberals are evil too. That's why he picked a Unitarian Universalist church for his attack and clearly declared it to be "a hate crime," "a political protest" and "a symbolic killing."
Liberals are a pest like termites. Millions of them. Each little bite contributes to the downfall of this great nation. The only way we can rid ourselves of them is kill them in the streets. Kill them where they gather.
Adkisson fully expected to be killed by a police officer, but instead the evil liberals wrestled him to the floor, holding him there until the police arrived.
James Lee didn't go in shooting. He did go in wired with explosives. The cops are not yet sure how much damage his homemade bombs would have done, but apparently they were not very powerful. They almost certainly would have killed him, but the hostages were likely safe unless they were very close to him. Very close.
And here we are, at Difference No. 3 between James Lee and say, Timothy McVeigh, who meticulously planned and carried out the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Cuilding in Oklahoma city, which killed 168 people, some of them children at the building's day care center.
Despite his anti-human rant ("The planet does not need humans"), James Lee didn't kill a soul, and likely never even planned to harm a single living human, with the probable exception of himself.
McVeigh's body count was much higher than Lee's, which was zero. In fact, McVeigh's was the worst act of terrorism on American soil until September 11, 2001. And while some on the right have hailed him as a hero, he was the last American my colleagues have easily called a terrorist. "Home grown" terrorist no longer means people like McVeigh, Poplawski, Adkisson or Eric Robert Rudolph — now it just means American Muslims, because "terrorist" only applies to Muslims.
I have a funny feeling they may change their tune a bit about Lee. He wasn't white, you know.
Lee was, clearly, a sick puppy, like, say white supremacist James von Brunn, who believed a Jewish conspiracy was afoot to "destroy the white gene pool." To keep that from happening, von Brunn spent months planning an assault on the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. He walked into the museum in June 2009 firing a .22-caliber rifle and killed the security guard who opened the door for him.
But James Lee, he wanted a fundamental change in the way we live. His delusion led him to believe the Discovery Channel was the perfect outlet to get his message out. He spent years trying to get the network to change its message, to warn the world's people that they are the root of the world's problems. Finally, when Discovery wouldn't listen, he armed himself and marched into the network's headquarters to force the network to do his bidding. He didn't go in shooting — in fact, his guns weren't even real. His bombs were, of course, and regardless of his beliefs and intentions or lack thereof, his actions were wrong.
Some on the right have unbelievably tried to pin Lee's assault on Al Gore, apparently the only environmentalist they know by name. But Al Gore has never advocated anything remotely similar to what Lee did. The same can't be said for the right-wingers who fed lies and other bullshit ideas to von Brunn, McVeigh, Adkisson and Poplawski.
If Lee had only actually been a right-winger. Then we wouldn't have to fret for one little moment about what happened, why and how. We'd just chalk it up to Second amendment remedies and go on with our lives.
On the other hand, we all really ought to be better than that.

Baby Tum-Tum
Yes, that's the phrase that Will is speaking into my belly button these days...
"Baby! Tum Tum!"
And yes, it was quite ironic that my last thoughtful post was on being grateful.
I have another little one to be grateful for!

Nice to 'see' you. The author of "Breathe" is Keri Wyatt Kent. It is a wonderful book about God's purpose of peace in our lives and how he is a sanctuary. In quiet and stillness, we can focus on him. This book has wonderful ideas for the Sabbath etc.

Thanks so much dear ones for your kind words and encouragement (for I certainly need it! :)
Anna...I couldn't find the Homespun Heart blog? I do love the Lisa Leonard jewelry and wear my necklace constantly.
Christine and Laurel...I am due July 26th so not too far along (I always tell everyone right when I find out!) The nausea hasn't hit yet, but I know it will. I am trying to finish up Christmas gifts and make some freezer meals before it hits!!
Rebecca...I missed Mom's Night Out too!!! Sam has Cub Scouts every Monday night so I watch the other three at home while Mike is there with him. Hopefully next month!
Katrina...I took that photo of the clothesline b/c that's how I told my husband that we were pregnant! (He's always been with me when I found out with the others) They were ones that I had embroidered to sell, but then walked him out there and told him that I couldn't sell them b/c we were going to NEED them!
Oh Lelia, I am always blue when you leave :( I'm telling you that I hope that NC is just a STINT for y'all and somehow, someway, sometime, you come back :)

Let's get the ball rolling.
Shade is a good opening
- forces your opponents to either play a level 2 units or an emerald carbuncle variant.
- possible 1 SP hit, although unlikely. However, it does happen.
- can take a hit for your valuable level 3 units, if it is not killed turn one.
- activates first SS, punishing early aggression
- lashes other shades
- can play a level 3 unit turn 2
- using is means sacrificing one LP
- ....that's all I can think of.
It's pretty good.

Four Time NBA Champion John Salley Speaks at Vol State
Submitted on January 15, 2013 at 9:17 AM
John Salley was the first NBA basketball player to take the court with three different championship-winning teams. The television host and actor has moved into a different arena recently, advocating a vegan lifestyle and speaking out as an animal rights activist. He brings his unique insight and experience to Volunteer State Community College on January 23 to speak for Vol State Unity Day. Each year Vol State celebrates Unity Day to keep the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. alive.
Salley is perhaps best known for his role on the Detroit Pistons in the 1980s, as they took two championship titles. He played with Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls 1996 championship team and finished his career with the Lakers during their championship-winning seasons of 1999 and 2000. He holds four NBA championship rings. After retiring from basketball, Salley, appeared in films, including "Bad Boys 1 and 2" and "Confessions of a Shopoholic". Salley co-hosted the Emmy nominated "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" on Fox Sports Net for seven years. He runs his own production company called John Salley Presents.
John Salley will speak at 12:30 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. in the Wemyss Auditorium in Caudill Hall on the college campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. After each engagement he will be signing books. Refreshments will be served at the evening appearance. The events are free and open to everyone. For more information call 615-230-3461.

Matt Ryan threw his 100th career touchdown pass, Roddy White had 102 yards receiving and the Atlanta Falcons defeated the Denver Broncos and error-prone quarterback Peyton Manning 27-21 on Monday night.
The Falcons (2-0) took advantage of three interceptions by Manning in the first quarter and raced to a 20-0 lead. Manning brought the Broncos (1-1) back with two fourth-quarter scoring drives, but it wasn't enough to make up for his awful start.
The only other time he's been intercepted three times in the opening quarter was with the Colts in a 2007 game at San Diego.
Ryan was much more efficient, completing 24 of 36 for 219 yards. He hooked up with Tony Gonzalez for a 1-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, then went to White on a 4-yard score in the third period.

Go ahead and stake out your opinion on whether a state's death-penalty law will deter future murderers.
But don't pretend that opinion is based on any remotely credible evidence, according to a consensus of criminologists, economists and other academics who have reviewed deterrence studies from both sides and officially declared them useless.
The National Academy of Sciences picked apart decades of deterrence research last year and recommended "that these studies not be used to inform deliberations" on capital punishment. In a blunt report, the academy's National Research Council noted it had made a similar survey 30 years before and was "disappointed" to learn each study since was equally futile.
Such pessimism, and accompanying admonitions to move on to other death-penalty topics, has not stopped statisticians from attempting proofs and rejections of deterrence.
The Death Penalty Information Center points to higher murder rates in states that have the death penalty as proof the sentencing threat does not deter crime. The gap grew in the 1990s, these opponents of executions say, to the point where death- penalty states currently have 35 percent more murders per capita than those who have abolished it.
If deterrence worked, how could Texas, which executes a dozen inmates a year, have a higher murder rate than Colorado, which has executed one murderer in more than four decades?
"There's no credible evidence of deterrence," concludes John Blume, a law professor with the Cornell Death Penalty Project.
Death-penalty proponents have all sorts of problems with that comparison. Maybe those states instituted the death penalty because they know they have more murders and want to stop them. How high would the murder rate have gone in those states if they didn't have executions?
"I can assure you, anyone in Texas who might kill somebody knows there is a death penalty in Texas," said John McAdams, a Marquette University political science professor who has reviewed deterrence studies.
"If the death penalty has a deterrent effect, and we fail to execute murderers, then we are allowing the murders of innocent victims," McAdams said. "If we do conduct the death penalty and it doesn't have a deterrent effect, all we are doing is killing murderers."
Deterrence will come up often after Gov. John Hickenlooper's call for a statewide debate on the death penalty, as he gave a temporary reprieve to death- row inmate Nathan Dunlap on May 22.
The father of one of Dunlap's victims brought up deterrence in his criticism of Hickenlooper's decision. The move will invite "all would-be murderers to come to Colorado," said Bob Crowell, whose daughter, Sylvia, was among four people Dunlap killed in an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant in 1993.
University of Colorado at Boulder professor Michael Radelet surveyed 90 leading crime researchers around the nation in 2008, seeking their professional critique of deterrence evidence. Reflecting a previous 1990s study almost exactly, 88 percent of his respondents said they do not believe the death penalty is a deterrent to murder.
Those who say deterrence is impossible to sort out cite these main challenges:
• There's no way to tell if a murderer was aware of a state's death-penalty status when the crime was deliberated, or what impact the knowledge had.
• Studies have not tried to discern if the threat of life without parole makes an equal impression on potential murderers.
• Violent crime rates have fallen nationwide due to an aging population, tougher incarceration of criminals and other factors. Pinning the death penalty's share of that decline is fruitless.
• Many states have death-penalty laws but rarely if ever get to an execution, muddying the potential impact on criminal minds. Colorado has executed one prisoner since 1967 — in 1997.
A flurry of pro-deterrence study results landed in the past decade, largely from economists and statisticians who said they could filter crime rates for dozens of factors and still get conclusive answers.
A 2002 study said each execution prevented five to six murders, and pardons from death row led to more murders.
Soon after, Emory University researchers, including Paul Rubin, said that national sorting of crime rates showed each execution prevented 18 deaths.
A colleague of Rubin's did a later analysis saying the effect did not hold true in states like Colorado that go decades between executions. Infrequent executions can actually increase the murder rate in those states through a "brutalization effect," said Emory law school researcher Joanna Shepherd.
"However, if a state executes many people, then criminals become convinced the state is serious about the punishment, and the criminals start to reduce their criminal activity," Shepherd wrote.
"We don't look at the mind of the criminal," Rubin said. After allowing for differences between counties and states on race, poverty, age and other factors, the impact was real and measurable, he said.
The Emory study and others have looked at thousands of counties individually and calculated how soon after an execution the crime rate might have changed.
The main criticism of such studies is that executions are so rare, and skewed by just a few states like Texas conducting most of the executions, that the numbers are spread too thin to mean anything.
The New York Times pointed out that in 2003, with 16,000 homicides nationally, only 153 resulted in death sentences, and only 65 people were actually executed.
Two Pepperdine University professors made a quantitative analysis in 2007 that argued an even greater role for deterrence, saying each execution from 1979 to 2004 stopped 74 murders the next year.
Statistical nonsense, countered the National Academy of Sciences panel.
The only reliable study, the researchers said, would look at murders in one state that did have a death penalty, then look at the same state in the same time period with only life in prison as the top penalty — a geographic and chronologic impossibility. And they'd still have to dive inside the decision-making of the murderers and near-murderers who changed their minds — even less likely.
The high bar for reliable answers has put off even those once convinced deterrence was real.
Emory's Rubin said scholars raise so many doubts about statistical models in deterrence that it "may not be a fruitful area for more research."
Opponents of the death penalty believe they found a trump card against the idea of deterrence in a survey of 500 U.S. police chiefs. The Death Penalty Information Center asked chiefs to comment on a statement that the death penalty does not provide deterrence because criminals do not consider the consequences of their violence.
Fifty-seven percent of the police chiefs agreed.
Wyoming attorney Traci Lacock said she has seen the deterrence question both as an academic, working with Boulder's Radelet, and as a public defender. For her, deterrence issues became much simpler over time.
Her clients accused of violent crimes were coping with grinding poverty, mental-health issues and other challenges, Lacock said.
"Are you really going to be asking the question, 'Does my state have the death penalty or not?' when you are doing something horrific to another person," Lacock said. "Just basic common sense says no."

The world lost an important teacher, poet and excellent, barbecue-loving soul this weekend in the form of Jake Adam York. He passed away at the age of 40 from the effects of a massive stroke, and we can't help but think about having heard him read his stunning work in person this past October at the Southern Foodways Alliance annual symposium in Oxford, Mississippi.
"We need poems, like we need barbecue, as occasions to invite grace into our lives," said York. Here's your chance to open the door.

Karkus was the Gurg of the last known remaining giant colony on Earth. Karkus presided over the effective extinction of their species when his people began fighting and wiping each other out, and they were forced to live (by wizards) in a dip beside a mountain lake between four extremely high mountains in Russia, leaving them no choice but to stick together for their own protection. Karkus was described as being twenty-three feet tall, the weight equivalent of a couple of bull elephants and having skin like rhino hide. He was a lazy giant who spent his days lying in the centre of a valley with his wife and waiting to be fed by the other giants.
In 1995, Rubeus Hagrid and Olympe Maxime, at Albus Dumbledore's request, journeyed to the colony to serve as envoys to the giants, in the hopes of making peace with them and securing their allegiance against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters, before Voldemort could convince them to join his side. After a month's trek, the envoys found them, and carefully approached Karkus the next day, identifying him as the Gurg because he was the biggest, ugliest and laziest, sitting there waiting to be brought food by the others, such as dead goats.
Karkus, at the time, was lying by the lake roaring at the others to feed him and his wife, when the envoys approached. Karkus received gifts of magic (which is favoured amongst his people), the first being a branch of Gubraithian Fire (or Everlasting Fire), bewitched by Dumbledore to burn forever more, which is something that not just any wizard can do. Hagrid proceeded to lay the branch down in the snow by Karkus's feet and said "A gift to the Gurg of the giants from Albus Dumbledore, who sends his respectful greetings". Karkus did not speak English, but knew enough to yell for a couple of giants who did and translated for the envoys. Once he understood what it was, Karkus liked the present. Hagrid then told the very pleased Karkus that "Albus Dumbledore asks the Gurg to speak with his messenger when he returns tomorrow with another gift", and departed. He wanted to take things slowly so he didn't overload Karkus with information.
The following morning, Hagrid and Maxime returned, and Karkus was waiting for them, sitting up and looking eager. Karkus was then presented with a goblin-made, indestructible battle-helmet, and then sat down and talked with Hagrid and Maxime. Karkus and the other giants didn't talk much, but Karkus had heard of Dumbledore, and how he had argued against the killing of the last Giants in Britain, and seemed to be quite interested in what Dumbledore and Hagrid had to say. Hagrid and Maxime then departed, returning the next day with another gift; a roll of dragon skin.
However, that night a fight broke out between the giants, which happened quite often. Hagrid and Maxime could hear the fight from their cave, which according to them went on for hours and made an "unbelievable" noise. During this fight, Karkus was killed by another giant, Golgomath, and his head was ripped off and found lying at the bottom of the lake the next morning, his helmet taken by his successor and murderer.
Karkus' name may reference his eventual status as a carcass, a dead body or corpse, at the hands of Golgomath.

Raffia, as we all know (and love), comes from a genus of Raffia palm trees native to the tropical regions of Africa. Fibers are carefully removed from the underside of each leaf and sun-dried to produce natural string. Similar to hemp twine and straw, these palm fibers are then woven to make breezy neutral accessories.
Raffia's sustainability also makes for eco-friendly fashion, as the cultivated fibers are biodegradable and regenerate themselves post-harvest. With a feel-good material that's also resort-ready, what's not to love?

MUSCLE FUSION's™ multi-stage complex carb matrix is made of organic oat fiber, organic oat bran, flax seed powder and other fortified carb sources.This critical component time-releases after you consume it, allowing for slow and consistent blood glucose levels and continuous glycogen formation. This steady supply of glycogen will keep your body slamming out reps long after your brain has told you it's time to quit!
MUSCLE FUSION™ contains our cutting-edge Penta-Stage Sustained-Release Amino Acid Enhanced Protein Matrix, which provides your body with premium fast and slow releasing protein isolates. Rapid-release proteins, such as whey protein isolate, are complemented by slower-digesting proteins like casein hydrolysate. The overall action of these proteins results in a constant nourishment of your muscle tissues and a hyper extended 8 hour period of muscular growth. This innovative matrix is also enriched with added aminos like the Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine, which further stimulate protein synthesis and muscle recovery.
When searching for a protein supplement that will support your personal goals, you will often be let down by other products that contain either basic proteins or isolates of inferior quality. MUSCLE FUSION™ contains only the purest, most premium sources of protein, including Whey Hydrolysate, Cross Flow Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Concentrate, and Micellar Casein.
MUSCLE FUSION™ contains Nutrabolics® signature lipid-based fat-loss support formula - SUPERFATS.™ This advanced healthy fats matrix provides essential fatty acids like CLA and Sesame Seed Extract that spare the use of proteins and carbs for energy, which maximizes their respective potential for recovery. SUPERFATS™ also helps to promote natural fat-burning processes in your body so you can stay lean while you build up tons of new muscle.
As a dietary supplement, mix 2 scoops of MUSCLE FUSION™ with 12 to 16oz (depending on desired consistency) of water or skimmed milk. Consume 1 to 3 servings daily.
Whey protein is without question the top supplemental protein source available, what many people don't know is that whey varies greatly in processing quality. Cross Flow Microfiltered whey is among the purest forms available, and has an exceptional BCAA profile along with the highest Biological Value (BV) rating available in supplemental protein.
Many protein supplements cut corners by limiting the quantity or quality of isolates that are built into their formulas, or by loading their blend with sugar and simple carbs, which burn up shortly after consumption. MUSCLE FUSION™ on the other hand is low in sugar and contains complex carbohydrates, which release into your system in timed intervals for extended endurance. MUSCLE FUSION™ also utilizes only the most premium isolates available and has enriched its formula with additional BCAAs and amino acids to help ensure you recover fast and to the fullest!
MUSCLE FUSION™ was designed to help you maintain a continued nutrient supply for high-powered, dynamic workouts. Firstly, our signature Penta-Stage Amino Acid Enhanced Protein Matrix will release premium protein isolates into your body in timed intervals. To start the process, fast-absorbing, high BV (Biological Value) whey protein isolates will start protein synthesis immediately after your first sip of MUSCLE FUSION.™ Later on, slower proteins like Micellar Casein will ìkick inî to sustain the anabolic processes developed in your muscles. This sustained anabolic effect is also aided by an additional dosage of BCAAs and aminos. Secondly, MUSCLE FUSION™ helps to maintain a steady, prolonged supply of glycogen by balancing glucose and insulin levels through a fast and slow absorbing carb matrix. With complex carbs like organic oat bran, organic oat fiber, and organic flaxseed powder, this matrix produces a gradual release of energy that will keep your stamina at a consistent level and help ensure that you arenít hitting the wall prematurely.
Because it's effects are based on a multi-stage, time-released process, we recommend that you take MUSCLE FUSION™ prior to your workout for maximum anabolic and metabolic potential. MUSCLE FUSION™ can also be consumed as an evening snack or throughout the day to satisfy cravings.
MUSCLE FUSION™ is perfect for bodybuilders of all skill levels because it can provide a hassle-free way to ensure that you are getting a balanced, time-released supply of quality protein, carbs, and essential fats. If you are looking for a protein only boost to your diet we recommend our powerful triple isolate protein ISOBOLIC.™
This product, to start, has a great content profile. Also, the flavors are spot on. When mixed, the shakes do tend to run a bit on the thicker side. I have been seeing a steady weight management while supplementing this into my diet cycles. It gets the job done.
Mixes and tastes amazing, surprising how full you feel after a shake with how lean it is for a MRP.
This is by far the best tasting protein powder I've had. Tastes like nestle quick's strawberry syrup! So good for a late night snack! Hits that sweet spot for sure.. When your tring to bulk you can mix it with milk and it tastes even better! I highly recommend trying this product. Nutrabolics nailed this one! As they always do!
Overall, a decent protein. I bought it when it was on sale and wanted to give it a try. Cookies and Cream flavor isn't that tasty, but still an effective product.
Satisfying product with above good taste and mix-ability, if anything it may be a little too sweet so add some milk or a little more water, digests easily, its light, up there with the top brand protein shakes.
Strawberry flavour is VERY tasty and even when mixed with water has a thick texture. Mixes well. I've gained 3lb using 5 scoops a day for 3 weeks, without much fat.

I am thrilled to be serving on the host committee for PRSA's 2010 International Conference: Powering PRogress. This year's Conference comes at a pivotal time. Disasters like the BP oil spill and the mistrust in major institutions has brought the need for public relations to the forefront. And, to be honest, it couldn't have come at a better time.
When the economy took a downturn, many companies' communications departments took a hit, while a number of agencies nationwide laid off thousands of highly talented professionals due to the lack of business. I can relate because I was one of thousands of public relations professionals laid off during the recession. Many organizations did not see the value of public relations because it wasn't "a revenue generator."

With Beryl coming our way public officials are preparing for potential floods, and say you should be doing the same.
The best option out there is to not drive at all, but engineer Preston Hunter says if you need to travel, at least be smart about traveling through roads that have already started to flood.
"You don't know what's under that road, you don't know how deep the water is. So you just don't need to go through it. That's the biggest problem we see is people trying to go through water, " said Hunter.
Hunter says along with driving through water, speeding is definitely a major problem during flooding. Members of the North Carolina Highway Patrol in Greenville told us that going the speed limit isn't enough, drivers should be going as slow as they need to based on the conditions.

- Abstract
- Much time and money has been committed by governments, private business, and the third sector over the last 5 years in establishing opportunities for underserved populations to gain access to new forms of information and communication technologies, in an effort to overcome the so-called 'digital divide'. This article traces the efforts that have been made to establish a networked community at a single high-rise public housing estate in inner Melbourne, Australia, and considers some of the potential opportunities for and barriers to ensuring the continuity of the network, which is large, complex, costly, and potentially fragile, into the future.

California-based Airline and Leading Carbon Offset Provider Launch Option for Travelers to Support Innovative Emissions Reduction Projects
Silver Spring, MD and San Francisco, CA – Dec. 4, 2008 – As part of a continuing effort to implement innovative environmental sustainability practices, Virgin America, the California-based airline, has partnered with Carbonfund.org , the nation's leading nonprofit carbon offset provider, to allow travelers to help offset the environmental impact of their flight. Travelers on the new airline can choose to offset their flight at the time of booking through the Virgin America ticket purchase confirmation web page. Coming soon, Virgin America will also give guests the opportunity to offset during their flight via the airline's touch-screen seatback inflight entertainment system.
"As both a Virgin-branded company and the country's only California-based airline, it is in our DNA to make environmentally sustainable practices a core priority in our business model," said Virgin America Senior Vice President Dave Pflieger. "While our investment in new aircraft and consistent use of operational practices already make us one of the most environmentally efficient airlines in the U.S., our partnership with Carbonfund.org will give our guests the option to help us further reduce our carbon footprint through fully-vetted and impactful offset projects."
Virgin America and Carbonfund.org selected offset projects focused on emissions reductions in renewable energy and energy efficiency. As with all projects supported by Carbonfund.org, these projects are independently verified. The new carrier also looked to Environmental Defense Fund's (EDF) CarbonOffsetList.org to help select credible and meaningful offset projects. EDF's carefully researched list provides a strong and independent starting point for selecting carbon offsets that represent real reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Virgin America's selected projects include:
• Inland Empire Utilities Agency Biodigester, a methane capture project that creates clean, renewable energy and reduces more than 8,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year, while also protecting the quality of the region's groundwater. The project is located in Chino Basin, Calif.
• IdleAire, a truck stop electrification project that reduces tailpipe emissions from trucks by connecting truck cabins with electricity at rest stops and eliminating the need to keep engines running for power. This approach saves a gallon of diesel per hour.
"Our partnership with Virgin America means support for two innovative projects in the fight against global warming," said Executive Director Eric Carlson of Carbonfund.org. "We are excited to partner with Virgin America, an airline that has been committed to sustainability practices since day one. Providing travelers a way to get involved in the sustainability effort, by offsetting their flight emissions at the time of bookings, fits well with our goal of making it easy and affordable to offset one's carbon footprint and support emissions reductions."
"While leading companies are eager to purchase carbon offsets to help meet their sustainability goals, many remain unclear where to start in selecting these offsets," said Tom Murray, managing director, corporate partnerships, EDF. "We developed CarbonOffsetList.org to enable companies such as Virgin America to confidently choose credible offsets. CarbonOffsetList.org eliminates the guesswork and offers buyers direct access to a list of thoroughly vetted projects that meet EDF's high-quality criteria."
Developed through a rigorous review process in collaboration with a committee of external experts, CarbonOffsetList.org identifies pre-screened, independently verified offset projects that meet EDF's criteria for high-quality carbon offsets. Of the 11 projects featured on CarbonOffsetList.org, four are offered through Carbonfund.org.
Virgin America launched in 2007 with the goal of building an airline from the ground up that makes environmentally sustainable practices a core part of its business model. Virgin America operates a fleet that is up to 30% more fuel and carbon efficient than the average fleet flying domestically. From its launch, the airline has employed progressive practices to reduce its carbon footprint, such as single engine taxiing, idle reverse landings, maximizing use of efficient ground power, utilizing advanced avionics to fly more efficiently, and cost index flying – the practice of regulating cruising speeds to reduce fuel burn. The airline's company-wide sustainability principles can be found at:http://www.virginamerica.com/va/html/sustainability.pdf
More details on the offset program and selected projects can be found at:www.carbonfund.org/virginamerica.
EDITORS NOTE: Virgin America is a U.S.-controlled and operated airline and an entirely separate company from Virgin Atlantic. Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group is a minority share investor in Virgin America.
About Virgin America: Launched in August 2007, Virgin America offers guests attractive fares and a host of innovative features aimed at reinventing air travel. The carrier's base of operations is San Francisco International Airport's ultra-modern International Terminal. The airline's new Airbus A320-family aircraft offer touch-screen inflight entertainment, moodlighting and power outlets. In 2008, Virgin America was named "Best Domestic Airline" in Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards and "Best Domestic Airline" in Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards. The airline recently became the first commercial passenger airline to join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Leaders program, and is affiliated with the Virgin Group, which has committed to reinvesting profits from Virgin-transport related businesses to renewable fuels research and other initiatives that combat climate change.

And for the thief set, I'll just go ahead and give u the coordinates (hope you can find it).
The first set (can be wear by commoner also): all five of them are in the town
coordinates: (x271,y200); (175,249); (158,21 eight); (133,329); (222,121)
Second set for thief (can be equipped by kungfu master and hunter):
armor is located in a dungeon on the south map, this is the coordinate after entering the dungeon (88,174); the lower body armor is also inside the dungeon (165,3 eight)
If you can't find the dungeon or don't want to; you can buy these two recipes from a npc located in the map north of the newbie town for 1k each, his coordinates are (x548,y379).
The arm, shoes and hat can be found in the north map (scattered around),
coordinates are (205,597); (653,290); (287,332)
A note: to create the second set, your alchemy skill must be lvl 5; for the 3rd set, lvl 10; the 4th set, lvl 15. And to get over lvl 10 and reach lvl 15, you have to raise your alchemy skill level when you are a commoner (just like any other harvesting skills). All these credits go to the japanese wiki site I posted earlier; i didn't find anything of these on my own; so a big thanks to them.
And why I use "eight" instead of number in some cases because when I post the reply, the number eight turned into an icon; so I substiute it with word...

Comments On May 10, 2013:Great gloves, holding together after a few rides and working on the bike...showing a little wear in the palms, but that could be me holding on too tight. They fit great and look sweet! I would buy again!
