13 Year Old Spider Boy Scales Walls Using Recycled Vacuums
Posted By Brit Liggett On July 1, 2010 @ 11:38 am In DIY,green gadgets,Innovation | 11 Comments
Hibiki Kono had a dream — he wanted to be like his hero, Spiderman. Most little kids would have their parents buy them a costume that they could wear to school. Not Kono — the 13 year-old set to work making his dream a reality. He's used two 1,400-watt recycled vacuum cleaners and a little bit of elbow grease to make a machine that allows him to scale walls — just like his spindly hero!
This DIY [1] genius was shunned at first. When he announced his plans his teachers and parents were doubtful that he'd succeed. Kono's design technology [2] teacher, Angus Gent, told reporters, "I'm hugely proud of him. When he came to me with the idea at the beginning I had my doubts." But to the surprise and delight of his community, the 13 year-old's design was successful and Kono says he completely trusts the machine to hold him up on any wall.
However, his mom's not so sure, she won't let him climb the walls in his bedroom for fear that he, "may pull down the ceiling." Kono thinks that the machine could be helpful for window washers, and in some of his demonstrations shows how one could easily use one hand to support themselves on his DIY machine and the other to clean the surface they're climbing. Kono showed his nifty technology [2] off to a school assembly, but unlike Spiderman, Spiderboy has limitations. His mom won't let him climb higher than the vacuum cleaner power chords will let him. You see, he's got to keep his machine plugged in to work.

Time to get a new doc that will LISTEN to you, run a blood test and even an ultrasound to be sure one way or the other. If they are saying that you are not pregnant, then there has to be some reason you have not had a cycle in that length of time...either way I would find a new doc. Good Luck.posted 08/31/2010 by snseymour
Im having the same problem??posted 11/27/2013 by LorLsMa8
I agree...go to another Dr. Call your insurance to see how to do that without having to pay out of pocket. Are home PG tests coming up negative, too? did the Dr. test your urine, or your blood? Those are the 2 best ways to know for sure. Good Luck! Let us know what you find out. PS. I really wouldn't post your cell phone #!posted 09/02/2010 by Rin68nyr
Yeah you should have a regular doctor, whom has to do test if u tell him something is wrong. dont rush pregnancy sweetie when the time is right it will happen. in the mean time you can lay all your cards down right so when its time your baby will be ready. trust it will happen!posted 12/08/2010 by desire71686
chances are if its negative you arent pregnant. i have gone a year with no period...it didnt mean anything. you can have a condition, some condition causes symptoms of pregnancy. you need to see a doctor and not mention being pregnant...tell them the symptoms u are having and they will take it from therte. i am not sure how old you are but if you are young..and you go in there sayin i think im pregnant they may be bias and think you want to be pregnant. but if thats your belly in the picture it could be anything it could even be a cyst..they can grow to the size of a baby. so you really need to get checked out in general and they will give ultra sounds if u arent pregnant, but not when u tell them to u have to show signs and symptoms of needing one...i once had gas and got an ultrasound!posted 12/06/2010 by desire71686
thanks but where i live if my pregnancy test is not positive they cant get me an ultra sound.!posted 12/06/2010 by Gorgeousmommytobe10
yea THANKSposted 09/07/2010 by Gorgeousmommytobe10
You should get a new doctor or ask your current doctor to give you a blood test. If you request one, they will oblige. If your test comes back negative, your mind could be playing tricks on your body.posted 09/01/2010 by beausmommie

Fierce, thanks for the list. It's not the prettiest of sights, point taken.
acie, this guy Hayes baffles me. I don't know about him other than the numbers that say he's a listed center at 6'6 and grabs three more boards a game(8+) than Glen Davis. I think he put down 7+ points per as well. Nothing crazy and I don't know what his defense on centers is about (something Davis can hang his hat on when he keeps them away from the rim) but it seems like he plays ball. If his defense matches up with Davis, I'm taken the rebounds over the points between the two.
Can anyone re-hash why Chandler isn't a wanted piece for the Celtics, even at an expense. He's under 30, in his prime. The contracts have to come down in years guaranteed at the conclusion of the lockout. So it's conceivable that he could get signed for 3 years at good to bigger money, team option on the 4th year. He's 7'1, in his prime, 10 points, 9.5 rpg. 10 points per isn't a flashy number but he will relish beating the celebrities of the league in order to win a championship with the C's as he has already done so in order to win with the Mav's. Tell me why this makes less sense than Al J. for one year at max money for "trinkets" in a trade. Can Chandler defend the bigger centers 1 on 1 with his lighter frame is the question I guess? And will he garner max money?

Apple Unveils OS X Yosemite, Promises "Continuity"
Apple today showed off the latest version of its Mac operating system, Yosemite OS X, which includes a Dropbox-like "iCloud Drive" that syncs content from apps running on Apple mobile devices, a "mail drop" feature for sending big files in email, and more continuity between Mac and iOS devices.
Some icons, windows and utility apps have also been redesigned in the new OS, making the interface more mobile-like.
The company's senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, appeared onstage at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference to demo Yosemite.
Finder windows, sidebars and the dock now have a translucent design, so users can see their desktop wallpaper through windows. Some native app icons have been refreshed. "You wouldn't believe how much time we spend crafting a trashcan," Federighi said.
Apple's new iCloud Drive feature takes direct aim at cloud storage services like Dropbox, by backing up content across various apps (not just photos and music), and syncing up edits and changes to that content in real-time.
Most significantly, the company focused on "continuity" features in the Yosemite OS that enable greater interoperability between mobile and desktop.
For example, AirDrop, a native mobile app for sharing content like photos between iPhones, now works between iOS and Mac. If users are composing an email on the iPhone, and are near a Mac, the Mac will pick up the email. There is greater compatibility between SMS ("green" messages from other devices for iPhone users) and the Mac desktop running iMessage. Users can also cue their iPhones to make phone calls from the Mac desktop.
"We believe you should be able to use the right device at the moment," Federighi said. "But the transitions between these moments should be natural and seamless."
Some smaller features that got a few "oohs" from the audience of over a thousand developers: The "spotlight" tool now brings up a giant, Google-like search bar in the middle of the desktop. Markup in Mail now includes photo editing, commenting and captioning with the body of an email. And Yosemite will allow up to two hours longer battery life when streaming video like Netflix — without needing to install a plug-in, Federighi said.
Early on in the presentation, Federighi joked that the company avoided a naming-convention disaster by calling the new OS Yosemite — after dismissing "OS X Rancho Cucamonga" and "OS X Weed."
OS X Yosemite is the first significant update to Apple's Mac OS since the company unveiled OS X Mavericks last fall (reviewed in full here). Mavericks has not been without its glitches, especially with Mail, but Apple CEO Tim Cook said early on in the WWDC presentation that 50 percent of Mac users are running the latest software on their machines, compared with just 14 percent of Microsoft Windows users who are running Windows 8.
OS X Yosemite is available to developers today and will be available as a public beta this summer. It will ship to consumers in the fall. As with last year's OS X release, the software update will be free.

Several redevelopment projects may go forward
By: Bridget Jones, Journal Staff Writer
Authority member calls using funds ?an emergency?
The city of Auburn has a basic plan for how to use its redevelopment funds, and some residents think a new sign is a necessity. The Auburn City Council acting as the Auburn Urban Development Authority heard a report from Auburn City Manager Bob Richardson Monday night. Richardson gave the authority a rundown of its redevelopment monies, and the potential projects they could fund. Gov. Jerry Brown has said he wants the state to absorb local governments? redevelopment funds in the future, but the timeframe of when these funds might be frozen is still unclear. Richardson told authority members the city should ?pull fast? on these types of projects, so it could implement as many funds as possible before they could be taken away. Richardson presented four main projects to the authority: Streetscape Phase 2, improvements on the Old City Hall, the Old Town Fire Station renovation and the Brewery Lane parking lot. ?Tonight is not a night of specificity,? Richardson said. ?It?s a night to get a general direction of where you would like to go with these projects.? Richardson said city staff did think the next Streetscape phase should be started. ?We don?t know if in fact we would have those funds available to us at that (future) time,? he said. ?The legislature could freeze those funds at any time. So, staff is recommending we go forward with Streetscape Phase 2.? Authority Member Kevin Hanley said it is likely the funds could be frozen within six weeks. ?I view this as basically an emergency for the city of Auburn,? Hanley said. Auburn resident Virgil Traynor suggested the authority consider a new LED motion sign to replace the current static sign between the Maple Street and Grass Valley Highway Interstate 80 offramps into Auburn. ?In reviewing this I have heard of several comments: 1. It?s too expensive. 2. CalTrans won?t allow it, and 3. There are public perceptions with putting an LED sign up there,? Traynor said Monday night. Traynor said he thinks the costs of the sign would be manageable, because people would be charged for the postings, just like they are with the current sign. He also said he has spoken to CalTrans, and they don?t seem opposed to it. According to resident Bart Ruud, the city owns the current sign, but the Chamber of Commerce manages it. A document Ruud and Traynor had at the meeting shows a breakdown of the signs? costs, and states that the current sign costs $800 a month and the LED sign would cost $1,980. Ruud said he thinks the new sign would more than pay for itself when people purchased postings. Traynor said he didn?t think the sign should become a place for businesses to advertise, but continue to only publicize community events. ?My feeling is it should not be a commercial sign, but be kept the way it is,? Traynor said. All authority members were interested in city staff looking into the idea. Chairman Bill Kirby said he thought the sign should be used for commercial advertising, and the city should take it over completely. ?If there is money to be made, I don?t think we should leave it in the Chamber?s hands,? Kirby said. The authority members also expressed interest in focusing redevelopment funds on Streetscape Phase 2, the Old City Hall improvements and the Old Town Fire Station renovation. Authority members also requested Richardson check into adding street improvements to the redevelopment plan. Redevelopment bonds currently can?t fund street repairs, because they fall under maintenance, but it is possible to change the plan to include those repairs, Richardson said. No action was taken on any specific projects. In other business: · City Council authorized Public Works Director Bernie Schroeder to execute a contract with Maxpower Electronics, Inc. for the Elder?s Station Security Camera Project in an amount not to exceed $14,700.

A horse drawn caisson brought the body of a fallen deputy sheriff to Southern Nash Senior High School while law enforcement officers lined the entire length of the high school.
Deputy Warren "Sneak" Lewis, who was assigned to the U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force, was gunned down Thursday night in Kinston. The veteran lawman and father of two was attempting to serve murder warrants on three suspects. Five people have been charged with the deputy's murder.
This afternoon lawmen from across the state stood in front of Southern Nash Senior High School as Lewis' casket arrived. Family members wiped away tears as Lewis' flag-draped casket was carried inside.
A Nash County detention officer described Lewis as kind, respectful and a family-man, and said his loss will be deeply felt in the community.
Lewis was later laid to rest at Hollywood Cemetery in Middlesex, where he was given a 21-gun-salute. The funeral director says four doves were also released at the grave site--three representing the Holy Trinity, and one for Lewis.
Governor Beverly Perdue asked that all flags in Lenoir and Nash counties be flown at half staff in honor of Deputy Lewis.
Previous Story
Hundreds of people gathered Sunday evening to honor and remember a local deputy killed in the line of duty.
Visitation for Deputy Warren Lewis was held at Joyner's Funeral Home in Wilson. A line wrapped all the way around the building as people paid their last respects to the fallen deputy that spent 24 years of his life serving the community he loved.
Lewis was shot and killed Thursday while attempting to serve a warrant on two murder suspects at a home in Kinston. Lewis was a U.S. Marshal based out of Nash County.
Nash County Sheriff, Dick Jenkins told WITN, "It'll be a void in the law enforcement family, it's just a tragic thing and it'll take us a long time to try to deal with it."
The funeral service for Deputy Lewis will be held Monday at Southern Nash Senior High School at 2 p.m.

In the aftermath of the Supreme Court ruling last month that detainees at Guantanamo Bay have a constitutional right to challenge their detention in federal court, Attorney General Michael Mukasey today called on Congress to spell out how the so-called habeas corpus proceedings should be conducted.
Mukasey said the legislation should clearly spell out that the detainees will not be allowed in the United States for their habeas corpus hearings and that detainees who successfully challenge their detention should not be released in the United States.
The attorney general also said that Congress needs to make certain that in affording the Guantanamo detainees their constitutional rights that U.S. national security is not made vulnerable.
"One could say, I suppose, that these questions should be left to the courts to resolve through litigation, but I do not think that is the most prudent course," Mukasey said in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative Washington think tank. "Unless Congress acts, the lower federal courts will determine the specific procedural rules that govern themore than 200 cases that are now pending. With so many cases, there is a serious risk of inconsistent rulings and considerable uncertainty."
Mukasey's call for legislation comes after the high court ruled 5-4 last month that Guantanamo detainees were denied their constitutional right to challenge their incarceration before a federal judge.
Mukasey expressed concern that the Boumediene v. Bush leaves many questions open that Congress needs to address.
Will a detainee be able to subpoena a soldier to return from combat duty in Afghanistan or Iraq to testify? How will the courts deal with classified information during the proceedings? Can a detainee call on another detainee to testify?
In addition to clarifying that federal courts may not order the government to bring enemy combatants into the United States, Mukasey said Congress should make it clear that habeas proceedings should not delay the military commission trials of detainees charged with war crimes.
"I am urging Congress to pass legislation to ensure that the proceedings mandated by the Supreme Court are conducted in a responsible and prompt way and, as the court itself urged, in a practical way," Mukasey said.
Mukasey expressed optimism that Congress could create legislation quickly, but the attorney general might not want to get his hopes up.
"The Congress must not rush to pass yet another piece of ill conceived legislation," Sen. Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. "The Judiciary Committee will continue to address issues related to detainees and will review and consider any proposal from the Administration on these matters. With so little time left in this legislative session and the complexity of these issues, it may be an issue more responsibly addressed in the next Congress with a new President."

Technical Information
Some ARDF events may have receivers for you to borrow during the competition. While unfortunately there is no commercially produced ready made ARDF equipment sold in the UK, new or second-hand equipment can be obtained from continental Europe, Australia or Japan.
However, many competitors choose to build their own receiver. There is information on this page for those who would like to take up the challenge of building their own receiver, or who just want an idea of what would be involved in doing so.
Most ARDF competitors start out with a cheap and simple receiver and move up to a more sophisticated one once they have gained more experience in the sport.
Receiver resources
144 MHz Receivers
This is a commercially available receiver from Jiri Marecek OK2BWN. More details here.
David Deane's web site details the ROX-2T receiver using the classic TDA1083 'one-chip radio', together with a novel way of controlling the receiver front-end gain. It achieves the low-cost/simplicity objective by single conversion to 10.7MHz. The web site gives further information for integrating the receiver with a "tape-beam" yagi antenna.
There are also references to other designs utilizing the SA6xx family of surface mount IC designed for cellular radio. The RSSI output of the SA605/SA636 chip provides demodulated AM and DC drive for an audio S-meter using the VCO of the 4046 PLL IC. More details here.
Junior 2
This design by Rainer Flosser DL5NBZ uses a BF961 dual gate MOSFET followed by a Siemens SO42P, a ZN414 am receiver chip and an LM386 audio amp. It is designed to be mounted at the feedpoint of the yagi antenna and has a balanced 75 ohm input for this reason. It is fitted in a 112x60x27 Eddystone diecast box. The ZN414 is now virtually unobtainable but the MK484 from Maplin is a reasonable equivalent. More details (in German) here.
ROF 1 from Norway
This receiver, in broad brush terms, is a ROX 2 with a PLL first LO to give accurate frequency setting. Full details are provided. More details here.
DF1FO advanced design
Nick Roethe has designed an advanced receiver based around a dual conversion arrangement reminiscent of the HPE2. It uses dual conversion at 10.7MHz and 455kHz with a phase locked loop for the first LO. Two dual gate mosfets are followed by a TCA440 for the IFs and an LM386 for the audio. The receiver uses a crystal filter, stores up to 4 frequencies and has an audio S meter. There is, of course, a digital display. The most innovative features are auto attenuation when the S meter hits FSD, range estimation, display of the remaining time that each transmitter is on the air and a low battery warning. There is a version that can be built into the boom of a yagi. More details here.
3.5 MHz Receivers
Superfox 3.5GX
This is another commercial offering from Jiri Marecek OK2BWN. The design provides a narrow IF filter which significantly improves the sensitivity compared to receivers which use ceramic filters. More details here (pdf).
Junior 80
This direct conversion receiver uses a frame antenna in its original form. It comprises a BF254 RF stage, a diode mixer (pair BAT41), a BC549C and the ubiquitous LM386. The design is from Rainer Flosser DL5NBZ and it uses three RF transformers. More details (in German) here.
HRX80 from PA0HRX
This design by PA0HRX shows how the TCA440 IC can be used in a superhet scheme with very few extra components. It uses an LM386 as the audio stage. The selectivity is provided by ceramic filters (SFZ455A) with a bandwidth of 4kHz. Two ICs, two transistors and one coil (apart from the ferrite rod) are required for this simple but effective design. More details here.
HRX80 kit from G3ORY
These kits are no longer available due to difficulties with component sourcing. A re-design project is now in hand but will not result in a viable receiver until the end of 2013.

I don't know why I maintain hoping that Michael Jordan will a single working day expand a conscience and present he's over an opportunistic pitchman who overvalues the bottom line.
I'll normally respect Jordan's achievements like a participant and exactly how he helped the NBA turn into a world-wide sport, but I've no respect for a few of Jordan's business tactics.
[+] EnlargeKent Smith/NBAE/Getty ImagesMichael Jordan, now the proprietor in the Bobcats, carries on being the identify at the rear of one particular in the most favored shoe and sporting products brands.
Last week, Jordan and Nike unveiled his retro fitness center shoe, the Air Jordan XI Concords which Jordan wore throughout the 1995 ninety six time, if the Bulls notched a report 72 typical year victories and received the Nike air Max 2011 yellow NBA championship in time for the Christmas rush, nevertheless the distinctive release incited a rash of violence nationwide.
Customers engaged in fights and vandalism. A Jersey guy was stabbed for the duration of a brawl that broke out while folks were waiting in line to acquire the sneakers.
A mom was arrested for leaving her two children, ages 2 and five, in the motor vehicle even though she went within a mall to buy a pair of Jordans in Georgia. And gunshots rang out at just one shopping mall in California, resulting in hundreds to get turned away.
Nike condemned the violence. "We are really concerned to listen to on the described crowd incidents all around the start in the Air Jordan XI at some decide on retail places," mentioned Brian Facchini, spokesman for Nike's Jordan brand name, in an electronic mail statement to Usa Nowadays and many others. "Consumer basic safety and protection is of paramount importance. We persuade any individual wishing to invest in our product to do so within a respectful and secure method."
And enable me restate the obvious: This actions is sad and silly. It is a shoe, hardly worth dying for or injuring an individual more than. (I wonder if a few of these very same people today who camped out overnight for many sneakers would do exactly the same if a free of charge schooling ended up becoming offered.)
Jordan and Nike didn't immediately stimulate this recklessness. They didn't tell persons to trample other individuals who waited in line, and it's not their fault that a segment of individuals have these types of skewed priorities.
But that does not absolve Jordan or Nike for willingly feeding an out of management monster.
Let's place apart the very fact that these Air Jordans cost an nike free run 2 mens absurd $180. The marketing marketing campaign for these footwear is essentially akin to yelling "fire" in the crowded movie theater.
Nike, which produced the Air Jordan brand in 1984, helps make a giant offer away from the very fact that it only releases the Jordan XIs arguably Jordan's most wanted shoe as soon as a 12 months plus they will be in offered only in exceptionally restricted supply.
Translation: Do what ever you have to do for getting these footwear.
And if individuals get hurt within the method, Nike air Max 95 yellow so be it.
Yes, it really is the essential supply and need profits technique, but it is really irresponsible for Nike to ignore the violent complications these minimal edition shoes produce.
It's rarely a brand new problem. Regrettably this experienced long gone on for twenty decades. There happen to be a variety of superior profile, senseless crimes connected with Air Jordans. In 1989, 15 yr aged Michael Eugene Thomas, a ninth grader from Anne Arundel County, Md., was strangled by a different teen and remaining barefoot in the woods near his highschool. In 2005, a 17 calendar year outdated Chicago teenager who worshipped Jordan was shot and killed for his shoes. In 2008, a man was convicted of bashing another man's skull with a baseball bat to rob him of his footwear.
[+] EnlargeAP Photo/Marcio Jose SanchezThe Air Jordan XI is the hottest minimal edition re release.
When I was an adolescent in Detroit, a number of of my highschool peers had been forced to "check in" their Air Jordans (slang for being robbed at gunpoint). And whilst any flashy or expensive merchandise can attract the wrong type of awareness, Air Jordans tend to be more coveted than most merchandise, particularly in internal metropolitan areas.
In 1990, my colleague Roy S. Johnson wrote a thoughtful Nike air Max 95 black piece for Sports Illustrated detailing the astounding selection of younger men and women who had lost their lives around health club footwear as well as other sportswear. For the time, Jordan explained to Johnson, "Everyone likes to get admired, but in terms of young ones truly killing each individual other, then you definately must reevaluate points."
But in gentle in the newest chaos, it seems Jordan looked at how his shoes' acceptance lined his pockets with money and opted to not reevaluate something.
Jordan incorporates a famous popularity for avoiding controversial concerns, but the extremely graphic conscious Jordan should really realize that all this destructive publicity linked with all the launch of his common shoe damages his brand name.
Just as he did with Nike's gradual response and modifications to accusations that its products have been made in sweatshops with kid labor, Jordan has deferred to Nike and continued cashing the checks. The Bobcats referred my questions to Nike, and when i talked to model spokesman Facchini on Tuesday, he stood through the original assertion.
Nike condemned the violence, although the assertion would have been substantially additional meaningful should the shoe's namesake had taken action, or on the quite the very least, publicly pleaded with the violence to end. It is really hard never to observe that a whole lot on the senseless violence connected with Air Jordans includes African Individuals, particularly youthful black men. Jordan is one of the most universally beloved athletes of all time, and he has profited substantially in the black community's unconditional aid. By not addressing this lingering violence, he seems to get creating very clear that he's only intrigued from the black group Nike air Max 95 blue if it may greatly enhance his financial empire.
Would it alter the underside line that significantly if Nike manufactured extra of these Air Jordans accessible to stores? Would the shoe drop any cachet if Nike built retro Jordans only out there on-line in limited supply?
Apple items are also in significant desire, but new items happen to be released with no prevalent violence. Air Jordans have generated billions of pounds for Nike. Requesting some company obligation and a conscience won't seem to be too considerably.

An F-B-I agent says a disagreement over money nearly scuttled the adoption of 17-month-old twins before their biological mother allegedly fled with them to Canada.
The News and Observer of Raleigh reports today that Allison Quets initially sought to put only the male child up for adoption and talked to a couple in Apex about adopting him. F-B-I agent Michael Sutton writes that Quets opted to let Denise and Kevin Needham adopt both children after deciding she was incapable of raising any child.
When Quets told the Needhams they'd have to pay her expenses, the Needhams decided not to go ahead with the adoption. Quets found another couple, but decided not to go through with that adoption because she wouldn't be allowed to visit the children. Sutton says she went back to the Needhams because they would allow her to see the twins.
A custody agreement allowed Quets to take the children for a brief visit last month, but authorities say she never returned them.

Goldfish and Maggots
Our compost pile is completely infested with disgusting little maggots.
Assuming I could get over my disgust to somehow capture a few of them (98 percent sure that I won't be able to do that) could I feed them to my indoor aquarium fancy goldfish?
I know people who catch while things (like wild daphnia from the lake) and feed their fish.
I know others who belong to the same category as i do, which is not wanting to contaminate my tank with stuff like that (especially maggots who couldn't be bred in a more disgusting environment).
Interesting discussion: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?...are-my-friend/
Yeah, that's my general thought as well. I thought that maybe it would be a little safer since the maggots aren't based out of an aquatic system. However, my microbe ecology knowledge is not particularly great. So, you know. I have no idea. Haha.
I read the first few lines of your linked thread. I am almost afraid to continue. :shock:
Maggots are fine but I'd rather feed my own goldfish the same maggots if they were bred from a controlled environment. I worry more about the possibility of contamination from toxic chemicals.

Mixology Promo: Meet Glee Star Vanessa Lengies's Sexy New Character!
If you're already bummed that Sugar (Vanessa Lengies) and her crazy self won't be back to Glee, we have some news that will help you cope: You can already check out a trailer for Vanessa's new ABC sitcom, Mixology!
We have mixed feelings about Sugar's departure from the show. As much as we loved her in New Directions — between her ridiculous quips and her kinda-sorta romance with Artie (Kevin McHale) — we always felt that the show was wasting Vanessa's talents, since she was rarely given much to do.
And now that we've gotten to see the three-minute promo for Mixology, we're realizing that Vanessa really does have star potential. She plays a sexy waitress named Kasey in the sitcom, with one season taking place over the course of a single night in a bar where a group of singletons look for love.
Vanessa has a few key scenes in the trailer, as we see her bluntly dumping a bartender. "It's just, I'm a really positive person, and you're, like, this black cloud of negativity that rains poison on everything and murders it," she tells him. Well, that's one way to move on.
But it appears as though the bartender just isn't that into her, as he calmly goes along with the break-up — and then reveals that he doesn't actually know Kasey's name. Ouch. Good thing Sugar and her self-diagnosed Asperger's wasn't there to give him a piece of her mind.
Mixology — from the writers of The Hangover — debuts this fall on ABC, and we can't wait to watch. We're rooting for ya, Vanessa!

The Vectra Bank in Pueblo was robbed Friday afternoon. Pueblo police believe the brazen robber also hit two other banks earlier in the week.
The Vectra Bank is located at 1250 West U.S. Highway 50.
Pueblo police say the suspect used the same paper for his note, and the note bore the same lettering as in the two earlier robberies. He also matched the same description.
On Monday the man robbed the Sunflower Bank at 1715 S. Pueblo Boulevard. On Thursday, he hit the ENT Credit Union at 305 West 5th Street. [More on those robberies.]
The suspect is described as a white male, 5-foot-5 with a shaved head, an earring in his left ear, and a scar on his cheek. In each robbery he has worn a black hooded sweatshirt, but rather than concealing his face with the hood, removes it during the robbery. The gesture, indicating he doesn't care if his victims see his face, is why police describe him as "brazen."
The suspect has carried a black bag in each robbery and fled on foot.
Police are optimistic that this could be his last robbery because the bank's surveillance system took very clear photos of him this time. They're working to disseminate those photos to the media now.
If you have any information regarding any of these bank robberies, you are urged to call Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 542-STOP (542-7867) or visit www.Pueblocrimestoppers.com. Your information could earn you a cash reward.

I imagine that the preparation for the show I witnessed on Saturday, February 25 at The Basement in East Atlanta Village encountered months of sweat, dancing, tears, and presumably lots of vomit acknowledging the fact that nothing is unusual to the members of Sleepy Genes.
A scantly lit table placed at the front entrance was buried under free merchandise including the EP "Invitation to Love" from Cassandras ,"Passion People" for Sleepy Genes, and the LP "Lungs, Dirt & Dreams" for Damon Moon and the Whispering Drifters. The night of releases was successful considering the table was left spotless by the end of the night!
The first set was played by Cassandras, a band comprised of 5 individuals. The soaring vocals backed by an infectious melody left me restless. Momentarily the band was exuding energetic pop rock rhythms then suddenly ended with the guitarist jumping on top of a speaker and throwing his guitar to the floor. The performance had the right amount of enthusiasm and initiated what was to be an excellent night.
Next up was Sleepy Genes who had a high-powered stage setting. Even with a broken guitar string and misplaced cymbal, the band's energy flowed and exerted off the stage and directly into the crowd as they were instantly pulled closer to the stage once the music hit their ears. When lead vocalist Brett Eidson sang he hovered over that microphone as if to embrace it for eternity. Despite sickness, he never once let it spoil his performance while guitarist Taylor Wynn was dancing, staggering and jumping on every inch of the stage.
The music of Damon Moon and the Whispering Drifters concluded the night where I surrendered my attention to Damon's intimate whispers and desolate tones accompanied by subdued guitar murmurs. It literally had me moving side to side aimlessly as I retreated to thoughts of myself coasting along a bleak background searching to fill the void of my throbbing heart. Just as the music heightened and every instrument on stage was being executed, all six members rocked in a cohesive manner appearing in slow motion to my bewilderment. Jacob Smith had a lap steel guitar resting above his knees while he tapped his foot on an electronic board and lead singer Damon scooted around in his light brown cowboy boots in what limited space he was offered.
All three bands made my first experience at this venue unforgettable and lively. The crowd's movement was nonstop on top of the grungy cement floor overflown with cigarettes and beer cans confirming my night as very doobious.
Cassandras will perform Thursday, March 1st, at the Clermont Lounge with Siberia My Sweet and Kid Portugal. Doors open at 9pm. Admission is $7.
Sleepy Genes will perform Thursday, March 8th, at the Five Spot with Mr. Gnome and Brain. Doors open at 10pm. Admission is $6 in advance or $8 at the door.
Damon Moon and the Whispering Drifters will perform at a warehouse on March 9th located at 840 Dekalb Avenue with Muleskinner Mcqueen and Little Horn. The show starts at 7 pm and the cover charge is $10. ALSO, they will be going to SXSW on March 12th and performing 9 shows in 5 days, so do not miss out on their performance if you are going to be out in Austin, Texas!

Report from March 22 University Budget Committee meeting
Susan Gilbertz and Patricia Vettel-Becker reported items of note during the budget discussion included the move of the Academic Support Center (ASC) to the Student Union, the large new investment for four Student Success Specialists in Student Affairs, five new faculty lines, and additional funding for departmental operating budgets.
The ASC is required to pay rent to the Student Union, as the Student Union is an auxiliary building. The rent will be paid by student fees paid to the ASC.
There is $196,000 in new investments for four Student Success Specialists, each of which is to be placed in the CAS, CAHP, COE, and COB. The COT already has a similar position. The exact role of the Student Success Specialists has not yet been spelled out, but they are to be the link between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs. These positions came out of a recommendation from Noel Levitz that we need better retention and recruitment. It was noted that the one-per-college distribution seems odd. If our greatest retention issues come from students going from their freshman to sophomore year, most of those students are taking Gen Ed courses and most of those courses are in CAS. Also the COE doesn't have a retention issue once students have moved to that college, so perhaps more attention should be paid to CAS students and have the COE Student Success Specialist work in conjunction with both colleges.
It was noted that the Student Success Specialists will need to increase our retention rate by a significant amount in order to pay for their positions. It is certainly possible, but will it happen? It was noted that perhaps four Specialists is too many to start. We could recommend they start with two and use the extra funding to fill another new faculty line.
Þ Motion by Sandie Rietz, seconded by Craig McKenzie that the Senate recommends to the University Budget Committee that they reduce the new investment for four Student Success Specialists to two positions assigned to the College of Arts and Sciences, specifically for students in Gen Ed courses, and the funding saved be moved to the next new tenure-track faculty line on the priority list (the Communications line).
Þ Motion carried unanimously.
It was cited that at the University Budget Committee meeting, none of the members were willing to pass the budget as presented, but rather they wished to take the proposal back to their constituencies for discussion.
The issue of the Student Success Specialists teaching sections of A&SC 294 was raised. In addition to the instructors teaching remedial math and English courses in the ASC, the Specialists will be another group teaching courses and not covered by any union. The COT positions teaching the remedial courses were eventually supposed to merge into either VTEM or the Faculty Association, but it's been eight years and it still hasn't happened.
There is a new proposal coming forward to move the A&SC 294 course into a formal number, A&SC 111, but the A&SC rubric has almost nothing to do with the College of Arts & Sciences. It was cited that we created a curriculum structure for the then College of Professional Studies and Lifelong Learning to formalize their courses. However, that structure was abandoned when the CPSLL was restructured into MSUB Downtown.
A. Academic Senate Fall 2012 Retreat Date: August 30th or morning of 31st
It was agreed the Retreat will be held starting at noon on Thursday, August 30 at the Alumni House.
B. BOR Discussion of Ownership of Online Materials
Provost request for two volunteers to serve on the Intellectual Property & Online Course Ownership Task Force
This discussion will start with online courses, but will expand to all electronic course material, as that is what the current BOR policy includes. Since Lisa Kemmerer originally brought the issue to the Senate, she has been asked to serve. Sue Balter-Reitz indicated she would be interested in this task force. Senators Susan Gilbertz and Scott Murray also volunteered to serve.
C. Committee on Committees/Standing Committee Issue: Removing a Faculty Member from a Committee
The faculty chairperson of a committee of the Senate asked the Committee on Committees chair for guidance regarding a member of the committee who does not participate. This faculty member attends meetings but refuses to vote on any issue, citing a lack of sufficient information. In effect, the committee member's college is not being adequately represented, and the member is essentially obstructing shared governance. The chairperson has not confronted the member about this situation.
Sandie Rietz, chair of the COC, referred this issue to the Senate since we do not have a precedent for this situation. It was agreed that Dr. Rietz should visit with both the chairperson and the committee member to find out what's going on.
The meeting adjourned at 4:54 p.m.

Four Months: The DeetsMadelinePetersen
Tate and I went to the doctor for a check up and his shots. He wasn't too happy after the shots, but he was back to himself after a feeding and a good nap. He is doing so well. Here are the details:
Birth: 7lb 8oz
4 Months: 15lb 12oz
Birth: 21 1/4″
4 Months: 25 1/2″
Acquired Skills
This month was a doozy. You learned to laugh, roll over, and ride in the car without screaming as if you were being tortured. You are starting to try to sit up and are constantly acting as if you know how.
When you are hungry mostly, which let's be honest is most of the time.
You prefer to be held all the time. Your naps are sporadic, usually in the moby or on the boppy after you eat. At night, you still sleep in your cradle in our bedroom, and we co-sleep after your first nightly feeding. You generally go down around 8PM and get up for the day at 8AM.
Eating, snuggling, being tickled, peeakaboo, and happy attention. Anyone talking directly to you with a smile on their face will almost always earn a giggle in return. You also love when we help you stand — always flapping your arms proudly when you are upright.

Hello everyone!
I have an amazing opportunity on Saturday morning to bring your voices and advice into a conference of women donors who care about funding change for women around the world.
We want to know: What do you think are the top 3 capacities or themes that need to be funded to take the global women's movement to the next level?"
Some examples might be grassroots women's organizing, communications infrastructure, educating girls, policy change.....what are your ideas and opinions??
Please post your thoughts by Saturday at 10 am PST!
Warmly yours, Jensine
Hi, Jensine,
Looking at the trending on Twitter over the last few weeks, I think key themes could include violence against women, social entrepreneurship, and microfinancing. Hope this helps.
Thanks and best regards, Anna
_______________________________________________________________________ Life is how you design it.
first i just want to say this is an amazing opportunity to have funders talking about this. As an ed of a womens non profit and of the two or three all women of color run and led in new york city this is such an important conversation.
So i would like them to know that moving forward... i think funders should be looking at multi year funding that really builds th einternal capcacity of an organization to be viable. So many communities already dont trust us becuase so many of us come and go that their is little to no chance to see long term impact which in most countries we are talking about tackling big and dangerous issues.
there also needs to be money toward healing an acknowldegement that women on the frontlines are dying, most often times look towards their higher self, god, the goddess, universe whatever to help them get through but will never say it because they know they wont get funded or becuase cultural and spritual organizing is not seen a womens organizing.
Im sure i have othe rthings but this is what i can think about right now. Good luck and thankyou for being our voice.
In bold hope DEE
In Bold Rebirth DEE
also becuase so many of us are doing this work becuase we have suffered injustice , live in the very community that we are figting with and for, have experience the same violence and oppression we are fighting against...as women when we take on these leadership rolls or organizign positions ... we need time and support to look within, build our skills level to succeed within the funding world, build our vocabulary to give logic models, outcomes etc. sometimes in this work hearing and doing this for the first time. more importantly, we must find our voice, connect to our spirit, and believe that another world is possible. We need funders to give us money to support that transformation within.
In Bold Rebirth DEE
I agree with Anna, microfinancing would be number one, communication probably will be another ( you may tap on Beatrice Achieng Nas she will be attending a communications conference in Iowa this December, she could echo it to the whole global team), women health issues, protection and education are vital too.
If a woman is healthy, financially able, technologically equipped and educated she can take care of herself, her family and enable a community.
take care
Solvitur ambulando (it is solved by walking)
Hi Jensine, Funding is so critical to the survival of a new project like ours. We got started last year with WaveIndia.org thanks to a generous grant but it was seed funding so now we're finding that raising the same amount next year is improbable :(
We realise that we need to change into a social entrepreneurship model as soon as possible as that gives us a better chance to sustain ourselves. But I haven't been able to find too many funds to enable us to develop our social business model.
Personally, I think media programs that sensitise people about issues through a gender lens are important to invest in, not just because I work in a program like this, but because I have become more aware about how impactful this work is.
Besides funding, I think younger women like myself need training and leadership mentoring as well, particularly in areas of social business training, technical training in communications and the web (like VOTF which is great) and strategic planning.
I hope that more people with resources become philanthropists and invest wisely in our future. Thank you ever so much for your inspiring work in the movement,
definitely micro finance as most of the women in my country struggle to find unemployment after they finish their education - even if they have a college degree, improvement on maternal health in developing countries is also i think something that seriously needs to be worked on, more support to women grassroots organisation is important as is the continued support on ensuring good quality education especially for girls thanks Rosebill

Money is a very interesting object. Nobody and never have enough money. Sometimes expert is our friend but we go to another and pay. Organization can make a revision of members to know - have they a lawer? couch? manager? ect. Maybe no. So... The 1 way - to find expert wich want to become a member and help. Another way - to get a scholarship from sponsor. And then used this expert as a couch, not only to consult, but to teach. Sponsors can help to have a newspaper of organization - to give experience of one to all. And, sure, quick internet - is a great help. so, 3 positions. 1. scholarships to make own experts in main stream 2. newspaper 3. internet it is enough for people wich want to do something, but not so much for people wanted only have money.
Я твайго не вазьму, я свайго не аддам! - I shall not take your, i shall not give my.
Just came across your interesting question.
My mother and her mother always told us that you can never climb a tree from the top. You have to start from the bottom up. In keeping with this:
First on the list should be educating women at grassroots level. They need to be taught about the whys' and the hows'. Without this fundamental right, everything else is null and void. Education in this case means having educated women volunteer their time to tutor groups of women on set days. Exchanging of ideas and experiences would go a long way. If you teach one woman, you've taught her whole family. That's the beauty of being a woman!
Secondly, available resources and skills should be put into use. For instance, if it's a community rich in maize plantation, they can harvest, keep what they need to sustain their families and sell the rest to other communities who aren't so lucky in the maize department. Barter trade can be re-introduced.
Thirdly, micro-financing can come into play. The women are in a better position to understand the dynamics as they have acquired some level of education and basic business skills to pull them through.
Warm regards,
Jensine dear,
Girls are importannt asset and become the nation-future as women. I believe when we raise up their voices and build their awareness to gender equality, human's rights and harmony within gender empowerment (working with men) it will expanded to family advancement and become future investment. I believe this PulseWire activity will be very useful to build their perception on gender equality, human rights and many options towards better future in jumping the poverty line.
If possible; many girls need those above now, all victims of Tsunami and Merapi eruption. I am still watching the news and I cried... They have no home, no school, no job and no future.
Most of young people in Mentawai are desperate; they need the donor's angel hands and we can try raise up their spirits thru PulseWire. My network has sent 2 voluntary students to go there.
In a while many from Merapi refugees shall be in the similar condition. They are still shock now due to wave of heat-cloud up to 600C last mid-night. It is a deep concern of all of the nation. Our President has came directly to nearby city to give direction in helping people.
One positive news; after eruption the surrounding areas will be very fertile to plant anything. However we don't know when it will stop. The Merapi is still active by now.
Please pray for Indonesia... Thanks

Dear Jensine,
Thanks for providing us this opportunity to share our ideas directly with you and the donors. In my opinion, the three areas (among many others) where women need most support in developing countries are following:
1-Social Entrepreneurship, 2-Capacity Building 3-Advocacy
1-Social Entrepreneurship: Most women from less privileged communities are deprived from education, employment opportunities and skills etc and in order to survive, they have to manage their own lives and livelihood. Some women, if they are lucky, even mange to develop their entrepreneurial struggle into a full fledged business sometimes but the enabling environment is mostly absent.
2-Capacity Building: Capacity building is important for both individuals (women) and organizations with a focus on women issues particularly but not only women organizations.A lot of training is needed for these organizations and individuals who are willing to work for more than just themselves so that can reach maximum potential with the limited resources they have available.
3-Advocacy:I have noticed this in my community and country, that women have sometimes the rights and resources available but since they are not aware of their rights, they do not know how to reach those line agencies to get help or support. So, more and more organizations need to work on maximum outreach to raise awareness and to sensitize people about their rights.
Hope this input helps although I am sure, that the focus of many donors is already present on these issues. Best wishes,

Hi Jensine,
It is a difficult question as we have so many needs. But sometimes as I see how much we struggle as adult women I wish someone has start with me as a child women. So I think one idea could be start a program for girls when they are childs. And educational program which might leads our little woman into different ways opening new ideas since they are childs. Those will be the real voices of the future. And by taking them into this program this might take WP to another level which might also take the mothers of that girls to a new level.
I also think we might be thinking in programs to empower woman to reconnect them with nature even we need them connect it to technology.
And finally I think we should have a step by step program which could make us believe that we can have dreams and that there is a network to help us to make it happen. I my country woman have little voice. But they have dreams which remain as dreams....so we need a real network to connect people to make those woman dreams to become real....
So I think education (young and adults), networks and capacity building would be my first three.
Good luck!!!!

This is one of the greatest challenges faced.
Meeting basic need, food, shelter and safety. After meeting the basic needs, education is the most important.
1- Capacity building - training and education, having mixed groups - young and mature (young targeting for the future and matures focusing the 'Now') Emphasizing to Martha's point for education (young & adults). Conducting education projects (violence against women, health, rights, seeking help, self help... example of some projects) with an inbuilt action research component with short term and long term targets. Ongoing assessment on improving. Successful programs to be replicated and adapted to suit the context. Focus on Human Resource building within the community. Empower people to do so.
2- Leadership - In my experiences women in Maldives - in remote and deprived islands women are idle. They hesitate to voice their issues and some need approval from a man. Leadership training to be inbuilt within the training program and fund raising within the community. Rose already mentioned advocacy - developing women "thinkers"
As Anna mentioned micro-financing is important. The projects financed should be assessed for sustainability. Above mentioned issues are all crucial. How the projects are implemented and sustained will become important in the success of financing - we will need critical thinkers to implement projects taking in to consideration the context and relevancy.
My views of key aspects when discussing fanancing. Hope this is helpful.
Thank you for the opportunity. Amei
Hi Jensine
It was so great to receive in time the wonderful message you have kindly brought.This opportunity I have been trying and waiting for several years. I am very grateful to you and the funders by myself and on behalf of all women. I have been promoting girls education occasionally quite easily without big challenges. I have two dreams of safer saving women and supporting women to be more powerful which are challenging me because of funding. For more details for my first dream , I want to save the women who are being ill treated and abused. Some might be in courts.One of my friends who is teaching social major in my evening school was trying to accomplish this issue. but she said it was too difficult and seem to paused it. So I am so keen on continuing it by collaborating with her. We can hire some supervisors or lawyers for example of the solutions.
For my second dreams I have had a plan to establish a social enterprise for income generation for the women. In my plan . I am thinking of offering a job to women for making clothes which can be delivered at different markets for their income. I have tried for funding and other assistance. Many people offer their service but not for the fund raising because of financial issue these days. I have already requested a funding proposal somewhere and it was rejected because of no registration with the authority. On the other hand registration also needs quite expensive as well. So up to now I can only do as a freelance ad visor or a participant for the community. I am sure that I can make my dreams come true with the support of funding.I am also expecting any suggestions as well .I hope to see you online soon.
Yours Sincerely
Congratulations on Very Happy Teachers Day through ten years journey!
This is a very good development and critical to the empowerment of women. One thing is obvious , idea varies in accordance with communities problems. In my Country one important, but very critical vices that promotes womens over endurance to voilation is shelter. If women have access to shelter, most of them would never endured the maltreatment, voilation etc. Therefore in my opinion, if the woman after leaving the man's house, has a roof over her head and her children, she is automatically empowered, to fight back. kick against any form of violation. She is given a voice. she will be able to speak for herself, and fight back. She will build up sense of belonging. The practice that women moved to the man's residence at marriage, with no where to fall back at if the marriage failed, hampered women's ability to fight back. My Idea is, if women have access to shelter, empowerment is a walk over. limitations is scaled down to acceptable level. the Woman and her children would have shoulder to len on. The pilot women housing scheme will partner with the government. Land acquired free from the Government, in each of the state of the federation of Nigeria., under the office of the First lady, wife of the Governor, in the case of a state, and President wife in the case of FCT Abuja. Houses build and sole to women at affordable prices, and long term repayment strategy, or as the case may be. This is my idea, as observed, among forces that is impeding meanful progress in women empowerment, within the third world countries.
I have read every word within the posts above my response and will agree tothe importance of mentorship and grassroots support.
The other night during dinner, my friend told me she thinks we communicate so well because I am really 55 mentally. This led to a discussion about the mentors I have had. I mentioned I wished Pippi Longstocking was translated often and available everywhere! She is, perhaps, my first mentor. She had ten times the strength of boys who would pick on her, was in her garden at eleven o'clock at night, and found sheer joy in "thing-finding." I remember reading her and thinking I could be anything and I loved being a girl.
My friend is a poet and she went to a girl's juvenile facility to share some of her songs and spoken word pieces. Some of the responses from the girls were, "Your poem made me feel happy to be a girl," and, "I loved how you talked about the moon, it reminded me my body is connected to nature." The wrote her beautiful letters exposing their lives and experiences, choices they had made that led them to where they were and the value they did, or did not, place on themselves. In so many of the letters, they thanked her for making them want to look more deeply into themselves, understand where they had come from, but not condemn their own histories - but speak them.
Mentorship is important because silence is deadly. When we feel truly listened to we understand that we can be heard which unleashes voice and a large step in the women's global empowerment movement is giving voice to the voiceless, right?
When I was 16 I met my first mentor. She was 50 years older than me and the first woman I met who was well-spoken, well-educated, well-traveled, active, healthy, full of story, a healer. She taught me about chakras and history. We walked nightly and she was an adult who actually listened to what I was saying. The feeling of being heard filled me with the same feeling Pippi did. I had been mostly silent before then.
Again at 19, when I met Joan. We sat and drank tea every evening. She was a recreational art therapist. She, too, was full of story and animated. She was warm and sought to understand. She was giving of herself, but was rooted in herself. I have no idea what would have happened to my mind, education, ability to communicate, thirst to understand the world around and beyond me without these two women and all of the women in my life who are empowering, empathetic, who know themselves and elevate their voices - they save my life every day just by being who they are and teaching me to know myself.
I know you didn't ask for personal stories - but I write these things because I kept reading the word mentorship and was asking myself what that meant to me as a young girl and what it meant going into my early twenties. What do we mean when we say we need more mentors?
Grassroots support is important. I interviewed a local founder of a safe-house for women in Arizona. She said when she first got started with her organization, she reached out to others who had already gone through the process. Often, she was met with little help and noticed people seemed guarded and weary of helping another person who would just add to the competition for funding. Another friend felt buried by the paperwork process, research to understand it, and organization of taking a grassroots org and transitioning into a 501(c)3. A portion of funding could be used to cover fees in situations as the one above. My friend needed someone versed in the documentation she received for the transition. I think she mentioned fees as well, which we had fundraised. In an above post, Sapna mentioned continued funding beyond seed funding and surviving the first year.
Grassroots Mentorship! :)
I noticed in one organization I was involved in that the two founders were on different pages. This made it difficult for everything else to run smoothly, obviously. Everything else was there though! The method which they would navigate the organization, the first few transitional environments they would offer workshops within, seed funding, but then differences in desired demographic to work with would create conflict. Successfully taking one's idea from vision to reality is a process requiring support and resources which deserve funding.
I know you already spoke to them Saturday, but reading the responses reminded me of Pippi and mentors and trouble aboard the grassroots train - so I thought I would share!
Thank you for extending the question.

Mar 2, 2011 16:49:55 GMT -5 Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by campersarah on Mar 2, 2011 16:49:55 GMT -5 I have had a problem with water getting into my gas tank (faulty seal around the gas cap). The first time I was able to take the scooter back to the dealership and they drained the gas and cleaned out everything for me under warranty. While it is still under warranty, I don't have a way to get the scooter to the dealership (I'm at college away from home) and the local shop in town wants to charge me $200! I have a generic chinese 50 cc scooter. The service guy at my dealership back home told me to detach the vacuum line and suck on it and the gas would drain out that way...I was hoping one of you could tell me what the vacuum line was. I'm obviously not well-versed in engines so a picture would be helpful.Thanks!

We know the colors used in KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese have been in the news lately. So we're answering some of your most frequently asked questions.
Why don't you use natural colors?
Actually, we do in several varieties. We know some of you are looking for Mac & Cheese with natural food colors or no colors at all. Here are 14 options you can consider:
Why do you use artificial colors in Mac & Cheese when other countries don't?
All of the ingredients, including colors, work together to deliver the distinctive taste, appearance and texture people have come to expect and love from Original KRAFT Mac & Cheese.
I've heard these colors are bad for you. Is it true?
The artificial colors allowed in the U.S. food supply, including the Yellow #5 and #6 used in some KRAFT Mac & Cheese varieties, have been thoroughly studied for decades and deemed safe for use by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). And the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) shares the FDA's perspective that these colors are safe for use in foods. Scientific consensus on safety is very important when we look at what ingredients to use. You can check it out for yourself. Here are the links to what both the FDA and EFSA have to say.
Why aren't you listening to the 240,000+ people signing a petition on change.org?
We are listening and have been for some time. We've got 14 options with natural colors or no colors at all. We've expanded beyond KRAFT Mac & Cheese Organic and KRAFT Mac & Cheese White Cheddar to now include a dozen others.
And for those of you who have told us you love Mac & Cheese just the way it is and don't want us to change it one bit, just stick with the Original.
I hear you make a similar product in the UK without artificial colors called Cheesey Pasta? Why not just bring it to the US?
Our KRAFT Mac & Cheese Organic Cheddar option is similar to Cheesey Pasta and is currently available in the US. It does not have artificial colors, and has the added benefit of being organic.
Will you ever change the colors in KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese?
Making ingredient changes isn't as simple as it would seem. All of the ingredients must work together to deliver the distinctive taste, appearance and texture people expect from Original KRAFT Mac & Cheese. Our fans have made it clear they won't settle for anything less.

Inspired by the work of Joel Grimes and my friend Patricia's iconic photo this is my interpretation of the female shoulder pad football image.

Traveling Lite
In preparation for my recent road trip to the Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion and then Las Vegas, I toyed with the idea of bringing my studio lights. They weren't that heavy right? How much would the airline overcharge me to bring them? Maybe I could ship them ahead of me via FedEx? Maybe I could rent them there? But after considering the effort, security of the places I would be staying and practicality I opted for my speedlites (4 x 580EX II) instead.
Profoto BatPac Issue
After testing it is our assumption that when the Acute 2R fires, the flash heads power draw is so great that the BatPac can not supply enough electrical charge which effectively turns off the Acute and the built in Pocket Wizard receiver. With the receiver memory now cleared, during re-charge the Acute pack has to re-learn the Pocket Wizard transmitters code again. FLASH, nothing, learning, nothing, learning, nothing, learned, FLASH, unlearn, nothing… You get the point. Perhaps this is a defective BatPac and Profoto USA is looking into that possibility but if not Houston we have a problem that will have to be addressed.

On the other hand, Dual Wield and Bog Wyvern can not hit Feline Kin and do in fact get the boost. So, those one are treated as attacks.
Now, compare the wording of Grappler and Dual Wield's traits:
Grappler: "When this unit executes an Attack action, subtract AT directly from the HP of one random enemy unit within range."
Dual Wield: "When this unit executes an Attack action, do [damage: AT] to two random enemy units in range. Remains after Revive."
So, i'm just wondering whether or not this is an error, and if so which one is right... or if there is something distinctly different between the two. My only thought is that grappler is a subtract effect while dual wield is still a "damage" effect. Could that be the difference?

You may ask, who is Olympia Scarry? Well, she's a Swiss artist adorned by Harper's Bazaar and a regular on their best dressed lists.
I'm particularly loving this beautiful attire she wore at Miami Art Basel Edition, the gorgeous sundress is from Christian Dior and I couldn't find one to even get close a bit to it, only the color.
So, this is more like, inspired by Olympia Scarry rather than Get the look.

Country music star Randy Travis is still struggling with his speech nearly a year after he suffered a stroke.
The "On the Other Hand" singer was struck down by a debilitating stroke in July last year and had psychical therapy to help restore his motor functions.
Although he has made progress and can now walk with a cane, it has emerged that he is still struggling to talk.
Editors at TMZ.com report Travis has not regained his speech, almost a year later.
The singer's representative confirmed the news and added that a therapist hopes Travis will recover and make a return to the stage in the coming years.

News 12 at 6 o'clock; December 15, 2008
AIKEN, S.C. --- The Aiken Mall on Whiskey Road is losing The Gap in January, and other business owners tell News 12 more shops may be closing soon.
Three other small businesses in Aiken are shutting down as well. Two are in the Pine Log Road area and another is in downtown Aiken. Now, two of those owners are speaking out to News 12 about the hard times and their optimism for the future.
Allan Fogle, owner of Shutterbug Photo, has 22 years of memories in the photos he's taken at the store. "It's saying goodbye to someone you've been doing business with for years and years," says Allan. "We've seen a lot of families grow up."
The number of people walking through his doors has been going down, especially over the last two years. Now, his doors are closed for good.
"22 years ago, I was thinking, 'If I can keep it open long enough to pay off the equipment, I'll be happy,'" says Allan. Despite the closing, he's still optimistic about the future, and he's got the pictures to prove it.
"It's like giving up a child, it really is," says Joan Tuck. "It's very difficult because this is my other family." Joan is the owner of Haven of Rest Christian Store on Pine Log Road in Aiken. Her shop is right across the street from Allan and she too is closing her doors at the end of the month.
"It's been my joy for all of these years," says Joan. It's 18 years of memories and it's hard to say goodbye to her friends. "There's a family connection with people that come in here," she says. "That's going to be really hard."
But with more people shopping online and sending e-cards instead of buying cards and more at her store, she's closing too on December 27Th. "I'm sad to go, of course. I'm worried what I'm going to do at home," says Joan.
Again, that big name leaving the mall is The Gap. Its last day will be January 24, 2009. Also, we're learning from other business owners that other stores in the mall will be closing soon. News 12 tried to confirm this with the Aiken Mall, but several calls to the mall were not returned.
For Allan, all that's left to do right now is to pack up. "It frustrates me that small businesses don't get the bailouts the large businesses do," says Allan. "We're just left out when everyone else gets a handout."
We're told the economic situation in downtown Aiken is slower but steady. At the end of the month, many businesses are reporting sales that are not as bad as what's being reported in the news. They say right now, there are only two downtown stores that are empty, and often the turnover there between stores is quick. We do know that the Carriage Home Antique shop is closing there also, but the owner is planning on putting something else in the space.
Fred Hume tells News 12 the economic situation for manufacturers in Aiken is doing okay. They are not seeing as many large number of layoffs as the rest of the country. But he tells News 12 they are not producing as much as usual these days. He adds that companies are not coming in as fast to the area, either.

This week, I have to finish the colors on our NYC Mech story. Last week was crazy busy with the last minute storyboard, and so this week I shall do the remaining pages.
It's looking really good so far. The best coloring I'd ever done.
I'll try to write up a step-by-step of part of it when I'm done, to show here.
Even if no one is looking.
Also, my brother and I have just come up with a new story for brazilian publication. We had the beginning already, but today we sat in front of each other and ping-ponged ideas until we had the whole thing plotted.
It's going to be big.
Nameless, as of right now, but that will change when the pages start to pour (I'm not sure I can say this that way and get my point across, but I'm brazilian, I can write weirdly).
We have been drawing stories other people have written for some time, specially for the american market, but what we really like to do is to tell our own stories. That's why we decided to do comics: to be storytellers.
We have some things to say, and we learned to draw so we could show those things.
Yesterday, we had a long conversation on the phone with Diana Schutz, our editor at Dark Horse, about our upcoming book De:TALES. She made a lot of notes about the order of the stories, about the cover and about the design of the book. We could see that she had spent a lot of time actually reading our stories and thinking about what would be best in one book, and that's what an editor should do: see what works for the book and what doesn't. And tell you why.
She told us all the whys she had for our book.
And she told us we're in very good shape.
The book should be on PREVIEWS shortly.
