Most of the time, I tend to view advertising with the same level of appreciation that I reserve for bacteria, intestinal parasites, and Jessica Simpson. All four things are annoying, constant, and inescapable. Admittedly, they may be beneficial at times; after all, bacteria is responsible for the flavor of cheese, intestinal parasites can help one lose weight, and pop culture has kept Ms. Simpson off welfare. Still, given a choice, I'll generally choose to avoid them.
That having been said, there are times when advertising moves beyond annoying chatter and approaches transcendence. For example, anyone who was politically aware in the mid 1980's will probably remember the famous "Where's the Beef?" slogan that made its way from Wendy's commercials to Fritz Mondale's lips.
Similarly, the term "Breakfast of Champions," while a great message for Wheaties, was also a wonderfully surreal title for Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. Some, like Miller Light's "Great taste, less filling," practically beg to be used as a punchline; others, like Clairol's "Does she...or doesn't she?" are redolent with double entendres.
Recently, looking over Inc.com's Ten Best Slogans of All Time, I began to think that, maybe, there's something to be said for the perfect slogan. After all, when it comes to latching on to emotional truth, you just can't beat the real thing!
Bruce Watson is a freelance writer, blogger, and all-around cheapskate. Apple's "Think Different" campaign inspired him to deface a lot of posters by adding the suffix "-ly." Is that "different" enough for you, Steve Jobs?!?

Bruce came to personal finance writing the old fashioned way: he didn't have much money, but wanted to do cool things. Clearly, some creativity was in order. From traveling around Europe to paying for a wedding, moving to New York to raising a child, he's figured out how to have fun without spending much money. In the process, he's also learned a few things about how politics and economics can help (or hurt) middle class finances. As DailyFinance's senior features writer, Bruce gets to combine his two favorite things: learning how the world works and explaining what he's learned to his readers.Read More »

Reviews for Dead Rising 3
Not a step forward or back, just a sidestepIthuraen | Dec. 15, 2013 | See all Ithuraen's reviews »
Much like Forza 5, DR3 is much too similar to its previous titles in the series, with some notable exclusions just so we can enjoy "next-gen" graphics. Difficulty is down due to never-ending supply of weapons from weapons cabinets, and crafting simplified by being able to make anything anywhere, but having to find blueprints before creating a new item seems like an odd change, maybe trying to promote exploration. I find the graphics very pretty, some disappointing pop-ins though, though compared to DR2 or even 1, that is the only improvement in the series. Finding and escorting survivors is, as always, frustrating and annoying. AI in a zombie game took a backseat of course, though perhaps the path-finding is better, hard to tell. Never used the smart-glass features, maybe the game is amazing suddenly because you can use your phone to blow zombies up... but as it is I don't find anything other than a rather above-average game that doesn't really justify the purchase of an Xbone. That said it is most probably the best of the launch titles, so there's something for the tagline.

Will some disclosure bring public closure?
So the parents of Samantha Goodyear want to be left alone, now that they've got their daughter back.
However, this story is NOT fading quietly into the night.
There's been an uproar on talk radio programs, and in the comments section at media web sites, from people who say they want – no, NEED – to know more.
Normally, the vast majority of people would back off in such an instance. But this time, it's different. Most voices are insisting on getting just a bit more information on what exactly happened to Samantha Goodyear. They don't want the whole story – just a brief explanation.
The intense public interest in this story was driven by Goodyear's parents, especially the father. His raw emotional appeals for assistance in finding Samantha were gut-wrenching, and generated a strong reaction from the public, mobilizing many to help in any way they could.
His anguish stirred another reaction: fear. With another young woman already missing, it looked like a serial killer might be on the loose. Parents started worrying about their children, despite assurances from the Constabulary that the two cases were not connected.
Because of the parents' open display of emotion, people became personally and emotionally invested in this story. The family's heart-rending appeals made us care so much about Samantha's fate. The mood was summed up yesterday by a caller to VOCM Open Line; a woman who said the following (and I am paraphrasing, from memory):
"The pain the parents were feeling hit me right in the heart. I cried when that father cried. Every day, I said a prayer for that family. And when she was found, I was so relieved. But now, I feel like we have a right to know what happened to her. The public needs closure on this."
Those four words sum it up so well: the public needs closure. People were dragged along on this emotional roller coaster, but now they're left hanging at the end.
Here are a few anonymous comments that make this point, from a recent story at cbc.ca/nl (and I did fix a lot of typos here):
I am glad she is home safe but I needed a little bit more information on what happened. Was she out on her own, did someone have her, etc. I don't need full details and have a 15-year-old daughter who was afraid to stay home by herself because of this story and she is asking what happened to her. I don't need full disclosure but if you were on media asking for help I think some sort of explanation is warranted.
And this bit of insight, from an anonymous healthcare worker:
I am glad she was found alive and is ok. However, I am a healthcare professional, and if her "mental crisis" or whatever is wrong with her was that severe she would have been admitted to a Mental Health Unit. I don't know of any medical condition that causes temporary disorientation, causes a person to vanish for 6 days, then voluntarily return to their home. If she were that sick, she would be in hospital. I am sure her parents had a reason to fear for her safety, but did not disclose a reason why to the media. I think the public do have a right to know what happened to her, because MANY people spent hours searching for her. Her parents made it seem as if someone had kidnapped her off the street. There is more to this story than meets the eye...
Some commenters defend the family's right to close off communication. Here's a sample:
While I can understand everyone's curiosity, this is NOT your favorite TV episode that got yanked off the air, this is real life and her family has a right to privacy and figure things out.
So what should the media do? The RNC can stop talking about the case if they like. That is their prerogative. However, they can't prevent others from doing so. Legally, the media can keep asking questions if they like. The simple truth is, you cannot be sued for telling the truth, no matter how inconvenient that truth may be. And it is not a crime to report information, unless there is a court-ordered publication ban in place.
The question is, what should the media do? Keep digging for more? Or accede to the family's wishes? I suspect this has been the subject of considerable debate in newsrooms across the province.
Really, it depends on the editor, or whomever is in charge of the newsroom. The reporters may voice their opinions on the matter, but what the boss says, goes. In this case, it looks like most newsrooms are respecting the family's wishes.
If I was boss, I think I would keep asking questions.
What would you do?

It is WAY too early for early pregnancy symptoms. I also had clomid for the first time this month. Around ovulation time I had cramps so bad I called my doctor. He told me that it is normal that clomid causes more camps than normal. Sometimes women who take clomid end up with ovarian cysts which can also cause some additional cramping. I don't know how long your cycle usually i but it sounds like you are just a few days behind me. Hang in there.posted 11/16/2012 by MonicaMarieB

DY5 Bulletin 4:
The next morning (28th), we walked up the beach to Wat Mai for breakfast. The walk was beautiful as the sun mounted in the east and the cool sand was delightful to the feet. Along the way, we met some friendly fisherfolk, both Muslim and Buddhist. The meal at Wat Mai was hosted by a friendly abbot under a large Bodhi tree beside a lotus pond. Afterwards, we followed sandy roads paralleling the beach. We passed many "farms" that bred the Tiger Prawn fry that are so devastatingly raised throughout the South. These farms appeared clear and may not pollute much themselves, but their spawn are raised to market in much less happy surroundings, which we were soon to see.
We entered Sating Phra town from the back and came to Wat Jating Phra, a 1000 year old temple with a Singhalese style Stupa containing a Buddha-relic brought from Sri Lanka and a 500 year old Sleeping Buddha from the middle Ayuddhaya period. Today was a day for learning about the ancient history of this area. Tomorrow we will return to the lake.
From Wat Jating Phra, we headed east towards the lake, leaving the traffic noise of last night behind. Rain clouds were up, so the walking was pleasant, and the asphalt never got hot. Only a few drops of rain fell.
Once back on the west side of the Sating Phra peninsula (only 6-7 km wide at this point, we entered Khu Kuud township (9 villages) which we had landed in & walked through on the 25th. As we passed into Klong Ree township to the north of Khu Kuud, an important difference became obvious. The Local Administration Organization (LAO) of Khu Kuud, under pressure from many of its people and local activists, has forbidden tiger prawn farms within its area. Once we entered Klong Ree township, we saw many tiger prawn farms.
Tiger Prawn Farms & Local Politics
The word we have been hearing from many of the locals is that the local LAO is dominated by people with tiger prawn interests. The Kamnan (traditional head of the township, now elected) owns a tractor that digs the ponds and sells inputs to the prawn cultivation. The village headmen of some villages are middlemen in getting local farmers to sell their land to outsiders. (This is a phenomenon we saw repeated in tiger prawn farming areas during the first & second walks (1996 & 97).)
Historical, structural note: The LAOs replaced the Township Councils that were made up of each township's (tambol) Kamnan, the Headmen of the villages (Pooyai Ban) within the township, and a councilor from each village. (The Kamnan and Headmen were & still are under the control of & serve the central state bureaucracy.) In the transition period to the new system, the Kamnan and Headmen are automatically on the new LAOs for the first term of 4 years, along with 2 elected councilors from each village. After the first transition term, the Kamnan and Headmen revert to solely administrative functions under the state apparatus (although elected by the people) and the LAOs will be made up of councilors elected solely to serve on the LAO. The first townships began this transition about 4 years ago, while the last have just begun.
While LAOs are directly elected now, rather than automatic, they tend to be dominated by the same old interests. Further, the purpose of their creation was not really "decentralization & democratization," as claimed by national politicians at the time (1995). Actually, they were a clever ploy for the political parties and the big business interests they represent to shift a lot of power from the bureaucracy — in particular the Ministry of the Interior which has controlled the Kamnan & headmen — to themselves. As LAOs were first formed, the political parties quickly moved in to establish their control. The result is that most are under the influence of local MPs and "influential persons."
The people who have been whispering their complaints to us are upset that their rice fields are being harmed by pollution from the tiger prawn farms. The way that tiger prawn cultivation has been promoted here relies on intensive cultivation that relies on high stocking rates and heavy inputs requiring a lot of investment. Salty or brackish water is used to help control diseases. After each batch is harvested, the ponds must be flushed clean and the waste water is dumped back into the lake, streams, and the sea, as well as neighbor's lands. (Remember that many of the tiger prawn farms are owned by outsiders.) This waste water is salty and is full of antibiotics, chemicals, and prawn feces. All of these are harmful for lake and rice field ecologies. In the areas were tiger prawn cultivation was first established, the ponds had to be abandoned after 5 years, sometimes less, due to accumulated pollution. Afterwards, nothing could be grown for many years. After old ponds are abandoned, new mangroves and rice fields must be taken over. It is a voracious vicious circle chasing after profits without regard for posterity, Nature, or Dhamma.
Due to the involvement of "influential persons," who are often inseparable from local politicians (including MPs), the rice farmers are afraid to speak out publicly or to take any action. They feel that doing so would threaten their lives. Yet another example from the real world of "democracy Thai-style" in action. I wonder if this is recognized as a human rights issue in the circles that debate such things.
Walking up the road towards Tha Kura (breakfast) and continuing past it, the east side of the road is all rice fields & Danot palms, much as they've been for centuries. To the west, between the lake 2-300 meters away & the road, modernity has inserted itself blatantly. Except for a village every kilo or so, and the occasional rice field of a local farmer who doesn't want to sell out, it's prawn pond after prawn pond. Many Danot trunks are piled in the ditch next to the road. The Abbot from Tha Kura commented that thousands have been cut down. The once beautiful view to the lake is now more industrial than natural. (Notes from previous walks go into more detail about tiger prawn cultivation and the associated problems.)
Mutual Causality
The contrast between east & west reflects chains of mutual causality. Why is the west side so much different? Due to over fishing in the lake & gulf, often with destructive methods, shrimp & fish populations are way down, depriving many families of food & livelihood. Government policy keeps rice prices depressed, which is common throughout the world with staple crops & probably represents World Bank-IMF policy. During the bubble economy (before the famous crash), land speculation was rampant & rice fields were bought up for reasons the farmers didn't understand (the ponds weren't dug until the last year or two, some as we passed by). The government's export policy (again, encouraged by World Bank-IMF, that is, the West) depends on unsatisfied greed among the people.
These conditions support the development of tiger prawn farming and tiger prawn farming in turn locks in these structures on the local level. The mutual causality between causes & effects means that effects are also causes & vice versa. Understanding this complex web of mutual causality or inter-relatedness (idappaccayata) is crucial to find strategies for improving the situation. The challenge is to find strategic interventions that undermine the above chains of mutual causality and encourage healthier patterns of inter-relationship. I will explore this more fully in one of the final bulletins.

Ruffin Receives Yale Leadership Award
Dr. John Ruffin, director of the National Institute
on Minority Health and Health Disparities, was recently honored with Yale Universitys Bouchet Leadership Award at the 8th annual Yale Bouchet Conference on Diversity in Graduate
Education, where he delivered the keynote address.
The theme for the 2011 conference was the Future of the Academy: Maintaining and Strengthening Academic Diversity in the Midst of the Current Economic and Political Climate. The conference is a collaboration between Yale and Howard University, named for Yale alumnus
Dr. Edward Alexander Bouchet who, in 1876, became the first self-identified African American to earn a Ph.D. in any discipline from an American university and the sixth person to earn a Ph.D. in physics in the western
Ruffin discussed the influence of Bouchets achievements on the education of generations of African Americans and underserved populations
who followed. He described the state of the U.S. educational system and emphasized the importance of mentorship in shaping the career path of future leaders and scientists. We have to create opportunities and stimulate in our young people the discipline to excel, persevere and be resilient, said Ruffin. We cannot afford to lose brilliance to ignorance.
Despite his intellectual abilities and educational achievements, Bouchet was denied numerous professional opportunities. We now have a chance to remove systematic and institutional barriers that can hamper the professional advancement
of racial and ethnic minorities, said Ruffin.
Ruffin was honored along with Dr. Sidney Altman, Sterling professor of molecular,
cellular & developmental biology and professor of chemistry, past dean of Yale College, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1989 for discovering
catalytic properties of RNA.
Bornstein To Receive Hall Award for Developmental Psychology
Dr. Marc H. Bornstein, senior investigator and head of NICHDs section on child and family research, will receive the G. Stanley Hall Award at the American Psychological
Association convention in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 6. The award recognizes distinguished contributions to developmental psychology, including contributions in research, student training and other scholarly endeavors. Evaluations
are based on the scientific merit of the individuals work, the importance of this work for opening up new empirical or theoretical areas of development psychology and the importance of the individuals work in linking developmental
psychology with issues confronting the larger society or with other
OD Alumnus Gee Dies at 92
Dr. Helen Hofer Gee, who retired in 1987 as chief, Analysis and Evaluation Branch, Office of the Director, passed away at age 92 on May 7 at Brook Grove Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Olney.
She began her NIH career in 1963 at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development as a behavioral sciences consultant. In 1972, she became director of program evaluation, which she defined as an effort to use social science
methods to gain a better understanding of how science progresses.
She was a pioneer on campus for evaluation research of many of NIH investments
in research and research training, particularly in the use of such metrics as bibliometrics, citation analysis and patent analysis, said Dr. Lois Cohen, consultant
for the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.
Gee is survived by a sister, Clara Armstrong of Bishop, Calif. Donations in Gees memory may be made to the Montgomery County Humane Society, 14645 Rothgeb Dr., Rockville, MD 20850.

Sasha Cekerevac: America's total government debt is rapidly approaching $17.0 trillion. While the budget deficit has dropped over the past year, it's still in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
This doesn't even include unfunded government debt liabilities, but let's stick with just the massive $17.0 trillion government debt.
What some investors might not be aware of is that we are, yet again, embarking on another round of bickering by our so-called leaders in Washington. It now appears that House Republicans, specifically members of the Tea Party caucus, have caused a bill, which would allow the government to spend after September 30, to be cancelled—a move that could lead to a government shutdown.
Officially, America will run out of money at the end of September, unless the U.S. government debt ceiling is raised—yet again.
The big hurdle is the new healthcare plan, the Affordable Care Act. There has been much heated debate over this new healthcare initiative, with both small and large business owners worried about the impact the new regulations will have on the bottom line. With the budget deficit continuing to add to our nation's government debt levels, the last thing we need is the politicians in Washington putting up additional hurdles considering our relatively weak economic recovery.
Unfortunately, investors will begin to see more bickering among politicians at the federal level, as each side tries to gain favor from the nation's voters. While both sides talk about doing what's best for America, they seem to be forgetting that actions speak louder than words. Frankly, regardless of who's in power, it appears the U.S. is incapable of not running a budget deficit, as our government debt has grown massively over the past several decades.
Now, with the economic recovery as fragile as it is, we are going to get plenty of news coverage of this childish behavior from our politicians in Washington. It seems that both parties are focused only on the very short term—or as the old saying goes, they're kicking the can down the road.
Has either party really put together a legitimate long-term plan to reduce the budget deficit as well as the government debt total? Since politicians are focused on getting elected over the next couple of years, real long-term, multi-decade planning is extremely difficult—meaning the budget deficit and government debt issue have been pushed to the back burner.
What does this mean for your investments?
Luckily, America is not alone in having inept politicians who make strategic errors. If you think American politicians are inept, take a look at some of Europe's (NYSEARCA:VGK) leaders.
In spite of the hurdles placed before American businesses, it is the energy and creativity of our citizens that have allowed the U.S. to remain a force to be reckoned with. America is still a leader in technological innovation in a variety of fields, even with Washington as an anchor on growth levels.(...)Click here to continue reading the original ETFDailyNews.com article: What The Government Debt Ceiling Means To Your InvestmentsYou are viewing an abbreviated republication of ETF Daily News content.

in Garden design
I want to re-design my small back garden as I've hotched-potched it over the years around an over-sized patio. I've been trawling books and t'internet for months now, and the thing that strikes me about all these designs is no-one seems to take into account the washing line or, as in my case, a rotary airer.
Am I the only gardener who dries laundry outside? Has everyone succumbed to an electric drier? I'm all for gardening forever, housework whenever, but even I have to wash the occasional item. Anyone seen a useful book? Companion planting and laundry? Wildlife gardening and undies?
You have a patio; stick it in the patio.
my rotary dryer is situated in an area with winter flowering shrubs as a background..as I tend not to use it much during that season, leaving it closed up most of the time... relying on my tumble dryer instead...plus a hefty electric bill....as the weather warms from April I start using it again but by now the rest of the garden takes over, and it doesn't interfere so much... ideally it would be hidden behind trellis...
When we had a smaller garden (well, a tiny back yard really, no bigger than our dining room) we had a similar problem - we made a circular paved patio with a hole in the centre for the leg of the rotary drier - when it was not being used it was taken down and put in the shed, otherwise the garden couldn't be used. As I said, it was a small garden and the washing did occasionally get 'involved' with the runner beans, but we managed to keep the rambling rose away from our undies.
Now we have a bigger garden which had the usual linen posts and line across the lawn. We've removed this and had a sturdy post with a metal ring incorporated in the fencing - two of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VILEDA-CORDOMATIC-IN-OUTDOOR-WASHING-CLOTHES-AUTOMATIC-RETRACTABLE-LINE-15-METRE-/360662072814?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 are fixed to the house wall, and when the lines aren't being used they are retracted and we can use the whole garden without being garotted. The only thing we had to consider when planning the rest of the garden was the siting of large shrubs, so they're not too close to where the washing lines are when they're in use.
Hope that gives you some ideas
I use those concertina airers (Wilko are doing them for £10 at the moment) then if it rains I can pick up the whole shebang and rush to the conservatory, where the clothes carry on drying.
My "twirly thing" is located in the centre of the lawn and gets put away after use. Must admit it is an eye sore and I find myself trying to co-ordinate the colour of pegs to clothes It can't go further down the garden due to apple tree and the birds would use it as target practise.
I like the idea of a Dove line, but don't have a wall to fix to. My neighbour has one but it makes their patio unusable when the washing is out.
If we lived in Greece we'd put the washing out overnight so it didn't fade, and then we wouldn't see it in the day.
It's a perennial problem if there isn't room to tuck it away out of sight somewhere. As Salino says - hiding it with a screen is possibly the best option if you don't want to buy another type of line. Erect a simple screen even with hazel sticks/bamboo if you don't want to do trellis and grow something temporarily on it to disguise your smalls and help hide it. Either that, make the rest of your plot so attractive you don't see it.
I've also done a similar thing to Dove in the past - a large hook on the house wall and one across the garden onto the pergola. I just coiled the line up when I brought the washing in and tucked it out of sight behind the planting at the house wall.
I had a wobbly rotary line when I moved here so I concreted the spike into a standard builder's bucket then dug a hole and put it in and covered the top with the surrounding gravel. I can now move it to another location as I'm redesigning the garden anyway.
I think the best option is a rotary dryer tucked away on the patio, as its over-sized anyway so wont do any damage to any treasured plants or flowers. we have a rotary dryer in our small london garden close to a clematis montana and a rose, and occasionally it gets tangled in the clematis or the rose loses a few flower buds especially if the wife is doing the drying, as she has no clue about gardening and plants. Saying that, what is the fun of gardening without casualties and own goals. it hurts a few minutes when it happens but hey life goes on, and sometimes for the good of the plant. wink
For me practicality has to take priority over aesthetics. I've got my clothes line right outside my conservatory doors criss crossing about from my hanging basket things to the washing line pole over to the fence. It's also away from my seating area...
It used to be my grass area , but thanks to my chickens it is now just a decent sized chicken zone and laundry area. This does have the added benefit of keeping the wildbirds away from the washing as the chickens chase them away.
It's a permanent feature with pegs kept on at all times. The last thing you want when you're dragging a cat blanket or duvet cover outside is to be messing about.
Yes it looks like a poor mans string of fairy lights, and sometimes things get caught on my apple tree/trellis but like franco says it's not the end of the world.
Thank you for all your replies and ideas. My current rotary drier is a collapsible one and also has a cover which makes it a little less noticeable (if you squint). My back garden sounds about the size of Dove's old garden - maybe a bit bigger, but currently half of it is patio, and this is what I want to reduce and grow more plants. I'm even toying with turning it into a no-mow herb lawn. I saw some fake grass today.....Nah
So with regards to the drier, yes Victoria practicality will have to take priority. It will have to stay where it is. I've removed the lower branches from the Damson tree and pruned the Corkscrew Hazel so the duvet cover and sheets are free of green stripes and captured bees. Back to the patio dilemma
I found a really great British company who sell these rotary lines. They have a great selection of sizes but i bought the small one because when i spoke to a gentelman there he advised the dimensions and completely took any risk away from buying by reminding me of my rights as a consumer regarding distance selling and advising that i could return for a refund if it didn't fit where i wanted it. The company, i hear you all ask is http://www.thehomelaundrycompany.co.uk/ and they also sell via Amazon. Better still all the roataries are covered by a 5 year guarantee. This is my a story of my personal experience and i would reccomend the company to all.
Mark, please excuse my cynicism - we get a lot of advertising spam posted on here - do you have any commercial/financial involvement with the company you're 'advertising'?
It's very unusual for anyone other than a Spammer to make their first post advertising a non-gardening product - Spammers usually find this site by Googling the item they're selling - in this case it looks as if you've googled 'rotary washing lines' and found this site - hence your post.
If I'm wrong and you found this site because you've an interest in gardening, then please accept my apologies
I'm looking forward to helping Mark with his gardening - do you think he's into roses, salvias, honeysuckle etc, or is he more of a veg man
He is a lawns and patio man i think Dove. That is going off his comments list.
Well at least he got a bit of traffic flow through his site.
Have you thought about an old fashion washing line but it rolls back when not in use
See picture
GWRS - we have two and recommended them earlier - see my post of 26/04/14 - really useful.
Have a simple clothes line alongside top path. It is not really an eyesore esp if I colour-co-ordinate the arrangement of undies
hate those rotary clothes airers. They really have no advantage over a clothes line. I grow plants to look as good as possible but accept readily the need to be practical too. Clothes line does not spoil the garden for me
Verdun , I hope you colour coordinate your pegs?
GWRS wrote (see)
Verdun , I hope you colour coordinate your pegs?
I don't know if Verdun does, but if I'm using the plastic pegs I do
But I like the wooden pegs the best

Road Bikes of the 2013 Tour de France
Orbea Orca Race – Euskaltel-Euskadi
16 / 22
Basque bike company Orbea debuted the Orca at the Tour de France ten years ago. This year, they unveiled a new version of the top-end model, a bike that Orbea claims is 10-percent lighter, 8-percent stiffer, and generally more aerodynamic than its predecessor. Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 9070 components turn Shimano wheels. PRO components, and Vittoria tires complete the build. And to celebrate the team's Basque heritage, there's a red, white, and green flourish on the seat tube cluster.

Re: Looking for a backpack DSLR bag that can be used a airplance carry on
Also look at Think Tank's Airport Antidote 2.0. I'm always amazed at how much gear fits inside this bag compared to the outside size. Mine easily holds two pro bodies, a 24-70, 70-200, several primes and TCs, three speedlights, and assorted accessories and chargers without problems.
It's specifically designed to be carryon sized in even the smallest planes, and the laptop portion is actually a small separate bag that can detach from the camera part if you need to get the bag even thinner, or if you want to put the bag in the overhead compartment and take the laptop to your seat.

What if you knew someone who, every time you tried something new and wobbled a bit, or expressed your perspective less than gracefully, got in your face and started berating you, yelling like a drill sergeant, red-faced and spluttering with flecks of spit.
Would you tolerate that? Probably not. But if you're like most people, you do it to yourself at least some of the time.
As I often say, we are our own worst obstacles when it comes to creating a rich, meaningful lives for ourselves. And one of the ways we get in our own way is by being unkind and critical. Sometimes it's just a passing negative judgment. Other times it's full-on drill sergeant mode.
However it manifests, it gets in the way of your stepping into your full potential. it limits you, reinforces doubt, and tears you down.
I started to think about the obstacles we often create when I read this blog post on how to be kind to yourself. There are some good ideas there. I would like to add three more:
Celebrate your success
When you do something well, stop and take time to pat yourself on the back. Acknowledge that you just did something good. It can be as simple as stopping, closing your eyes, and spending 60 seconds to reflect on what you did and how you did it.
Or you could ratchet it up a notch and tell a comfortable friend that you want to spend a few minutes celebrating out loud, describing what you did, what went well, how you solved the problems you ran up against, etc.
The key is to create space to focus on and acknowledge the positive.
Celebrate yourself
You don't need to wait for a specific accomplishment to tap into the power of self-celebration. Try celebrating yourself on a regular basis. Take stock of what you like about yourself. What do you do well? What are your gifts and skills? What are you proud of? What do other people tell you that you do well? What do people compliment you on?
Start by just making a list. Then keep adding to it over time. Challenge yourself to spend time adding to it at least each week. Then, when you start to feel down on yourself, pull it out and go through it. Or pull it out, tell a friend what's on it, and use it as a springboard for a positive conversation.
Push pause
When you feel that critical voice start build up pressure, like a geyser getting ready to erupt, hit pause. I know it's hard to do, especially in the heat of the moment, but try. You might not even be able to manage more than a brief pause before the momentum of that critic spills over, but the more you practice, the more space you will be able to put between the feeling and the reaction.
In that space, try to whip out your curiosity. Ask questions. Is this really an accurate reaction? Are you doing black-and-white thinking when there are actually a full spectrum of colors in the picture? Could there be a different way to see it? What could you learn from the situation?
Pushing pause lets you take back control so your internal critic doesn't have the opportunity to get up a full head of steam.
How about you? How are you kind to yourself? How do you accentuate the positive? How do you curb that internal critic?

One day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep ageing – they get hurt and sick, but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight.
With all the extra people, resources are finite. It's said that in four month's time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can't be a natural event – someone's got to be behind it. It's a race against time as CIA agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking: "What is Torchwood?", he's drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human ... for ever.

Goofs: At the very end of the episode, when Rex is checking his phone, when the camera is facing him, his phone is being held in portrait, but when the camera is over his shoulder, looking at the screen, the phone is in landscape. This is shown twice, when the camera shots switch.
Trivia: Gwen and Rhys's Welsh cottage is called "The Old Rectory" and is owned by the British National Trust. It can be rented as a holiday cottage.
Torchwood. Outside the government, beyond the police. Tracking down alien life on earth and arming the human race against the future. The 21st century is when everything changes... and you've gotta be ready.

Don't waste your money on this mask unless you like a poorly constructed product that doesn't perform as advertised. Seriously, this product appears to have been sewn together by a Chimp or child with absolutely no skills. Where is the quality control? Another reason you might like this product, if you are one of the afore mentioned who like poorly made products, is the smell. Do you like the smell of chemicals, children? Wear this mask for five minutes and you will taste neoprene the rest of the day. The smell of this mask will taint the taste of all you eat or drink hours afterwards.

The Living Screen project produces new poetics, made possible by fusing bio-technology into a living cinematic apparatus. It embodies and anticipates renewed cinematic techniques and modes of expression, while also offering an alternative approach to understanding Bio-Art, which is, 'Bio-Art as a Freak Show'.
The project examines early cinema history and brings film theory into play to approach ones engagement with a Bio-Kino. Screens are grown or scavenged from different tissue sources and nano-movies are projected over these living canvases, via the bio-projector. (The projection is 25-50 µ (microns) in size).
The Living Screen is a new species, a living cinematic apparatus. When we gaze through it, we are engaging with a machine-organism. This work is a research and development project exploring what occurs when we cinematically engage with a living screen. It employs film theory to bring into question ones spectatorship with Bio-Kino.
The screens are alive, transform, react and change over time and eventually die. Therefore, it contorts the projected nano-movie in unknown ways, and confront the spectators with issues such as life, death, virtuality and reality.
There are four elements to the Living Screen project:
1. The bio - projector is the machinery of the cinematic apparatus that includes the projector device, the microscope and the optical lenses.
2. The Living Screen functions as part of the cinematic apparatus. Different types of screens, prepared and obtained from varying tissue cultures, are projected onto the screen, each one of them symbolic in a different way. The properties of these screens inform the content of the projected nano-movies.
3. The nano-movies conceptually link the living screen that they are being projected onto.
4. The spectator is you. When you peer through the bio-projector, and gaze at the nano-movie being projected onto the Living Screen, you become the final ingredient in this Bio-Kino apparatus.
The combination of film theory and bio-art is as of yet unexplored from our particular approach. In overlaying digital pixels over biological pixels we intend to explore the tension between the inanimate and the animate and the digital versus the biological. We hope that spectators will undergo a powerful engagement with the living screen. This projection chooses the raw, fleshy, unprocessed aesthetics over the hyperrealism of the digital.
The Living Screen has many connections to primitive cinema, early motion pictures that pre-date 1905 that fall under the category of the 'cinema of attractions'. Tom Gunning defines the 'cinema of attractions' as a form of confrontation that addresses the audience directly. "Rather than being an involvement with narrative action or empathy with character psychology, the cinema of attractions solicits a highly conscious awareness of the film image engaging with the viewers' curiosity."
The screens will transform, react and change over time and eventually die. This is the confrontation that the spectator must face. "Confrontation rules the 'cinema of attractions' in both the form of its films and their mode of exhibition. The directness of this act of display allows an emphasis of the thrill itself – the immediate reaction of the viewer." What thrill will the spectator receive when it clearly confronts the spectator about life and death.

When Lady Gaga showed up at the 2011 Video Music Awards, she wasn't Lady Gaga anymore; she was Jo Calderone.
Gaga's creative director, Laurieann Gibson, spoke to MTV News days before the show went live, and she explained why Gaga wanted to stay in character all night long.
"The idea of her being a performance artist — and it's starting the performance on the red carpet and the idea that the performance never ends for her — is the first time I've experienced this with an artist," she said. "I love it. That's something that is specific to her, and the whole night was the performance, and it was important that Jo was a part of the whole night."
Gaga — or, rather, Calderone — opened the show with a lengthy monologue before launching into Gaga's "Yoü and I." Jo then hung out with Kanye West in the audience, paid tribute to Britney Spears and even shared a kiss with the pop star. Not once did Gaga break character. In Gibson's eyes, this type of performance is groundbreaking.
"I hope that the Monsters and the music industry [connect to] the idea that as long as you execute to the highest level of your ability, that you make a statement, that you push your creative ability to the max, and it doesn't mean one thing or another," she said.
"It could mean standing under one spotlight, it could mean tons of camels and belly-dancing girls. I don't know one is not necessarily better than the other," she continued. "But it is about who's the artist; it belongs to the artist, so in that one moment you have to take it and give all you can. And so I hope people take the fearlessness away [and] the creative notion that we constantly push boundaries, that we're not followers."

Various Memories
< Trips and Adventures | All Categories | What Mac Means >
My memories of Mac are many
Jim Haigh
I lived in Dayton and Kirk Halls and two years off campus, worked in the cafeteria and library, met many interesting people including some of the foreign journalists, nurses, trips to the river, Green Mill, Sarges, sports, mixers, and when we arrived at Mac in the fall of 1960 thy had built fences around the girls dorms which I never figured if that was to keep the guys out or the girls in, probably both, the majestic elm trees, convocation, and yes, Old Main.
Breakfast dress code
Louise Roome Klimoff
I liked being able to eat breakfast in PJ's and bath robe. I remember "the stacks" in the library and many an interesting conversation there in spite of trying to be invisibly sequestered there before an exam.
Blessed by many magnificent friends
Arthur (Bud) H. Ogle, Jr.
I met Donna, the love of my life, and Jesus, the purpose of my life, in high school but Mac taught me how to grow that love to include each and all of God's creation. Roomates Dave Crow, Don Gemberling, Julian Ako and Larry Demarest joined Donna in sustaining, inspiring and challenging me. Throughout our lives we continue to be blessed by many magnificent friends. The young people of Dayton Avenue Church, Mac's international students and great faculty and friends like professors Armajani, Dupre, Sayegh, Hill, Thompson, Adams, Mitau, Wigfield, Gustafson and Georgiana Palmer coaches Mosvick and Bolstorff, deans Kramer and Moy continue to teach and inspire me I have been working for peace and justice ever since, being privileged to work with Bill Coffin, John Israel, Martin Luther King, Nancy and Joe Gatlin, and George Rupp and so many others.
Far and away, four of the best years of my life
Richard Doerr
The four years I spent at Macalester were, far and away, four of the best years of my life. To have had such inspiring professors in all disciplines, to have had so many stimulating and insightful classes, to have had as classmates and friends students from all over the U.S. and the world, two trips taken to Mexico and my participation in the summer, 1963 SWAP program (Spain), there are just too many experiences of all kinds to enumerate here. But they all, in one way or another, enormously impacted and changed my life thereafter.
A few things stand out
Dorine Woseth Martinez
Dr. Mitau, Dr. Adams, Old Main, the big chairs and big windows in the library, the grill, chatting and studying in the off campus women's lounge, the bagpipers (walking by the field house & hearing the beginner bagpipers practicing!)
Collage of people
Judy Frazier Johnson
The wonderful laughs of Eunice Stanfield and Ann Boshen,
Jan Tank and her ultra blonde hair, Susie Beimers, Ardie Larson, Cindy Holley, Judy Bartosh, Marge Patrick, and so many others from Turck whom I remember fondly,
the grubby little café in the student union basement, being able to usher at Northrup and singing with the choir at Northrup, dances in Old Main, JoAnn Cummings and her beautiful singing voice, being lucky enough to travel to Istanbul via the SWAP program, unforgettable professors Blakely, Westermeier, and Walters, rooming with Marilyn H. and Carol H off campus during senior year, poaching the cat from the art department, and getting a terrific, liberal education---I remain grateful.
A few recollections
Margaret Thomas Human
I happily keep track of old roommates (Bev Abraham, Alice Rotzel) as well as Susan Lundberg and Connie Eckhoff. Also recall details: Wally Hall with its eccentric housemothers, grace minutes, dreaded assigned seats in the dining hall, hilarious singing while working dish crew. Being asked what I wanted to be or do in 10 years by Dr. Dupre. Learning in Old Testament History that the Bible was passed down by oral tradition and had many sources. Watching Dr. Mitau explain dramatically that the world was NOT black and white, as he scribbled wildly on the black board. Listening to Jeanie Norris learn to play the bagpipes, beginning with the chanter alone. Living off-campus in the Honor House where Karen Kunzman wrote KK on her eggs in the fridge and someone sang, Puff the Magic Dragon in her sleep. Learning to ski at Lutsen. Picketing against apartheid at a St. Paul theater. Learning much from the psych professors observing Dr Minks (cloned) preschooler, working one summer for Dr. Anne Pick, who taught me about basic research. (What happened to other Psych majors, like Karen Rogness?)
My hypnotic state
Kathleen Daniels Center
Another interesting evening came after I had been hypnotized by the campus doctor from our Psych Club. The suggestion was that I would be cured after I sat down, fell asleep & woke up. We had a Drama Chorus performance that night. I never sat down the entire evening!
My memories
Jean Mahle Sage
Lifelong friendships made. Dorm life. Great faculty and environment. Curfew and the Good Night kisses at 10PM and 12PM Really? Russ Wigfield's guidance to our well being and relationships. Swim meets for the guys. Title 9 unheard of for women. GRA and PE major, Synchronized Swimming was all their was for us to participate in. French fries and coke for breakfast at Sarge's. Typing papers on either Elite or Pica Royals depending on length needed.
Sandra C. Schramm Krough
Following an off-campus party our freshman year, 14 of us were arrested for underage drinking - not a proud moment but memorable.
I moved off campus sophomore year to 196 Vernon, Clara and Allen Pruden were "campus parents" for next three years.
Freshman year chapel was required - by senior year no longer required - confrontation was offered.
Following our sophomore year the theater (WWII quonset construction was torn down. When they started to throw out costumes, Jack Westin found a truck and the Eastside Theatre was born.
Theater activities were scarce. My advisor, Doug Hatfield, introduced me to Theater-In-the-Round. Community theater was a god send.
Senior yr - 1st "J" term - econ and theater went to NYC and Washington, DC (JFK grave site) by bus (underline this word)
Mary Gwen Owen- drama choros - classic lady - most unique
After watching the never ending games of bridge in the Grille, I vowed not to learn...until senior year. Good thing - night before graduation there was a storm - no power - bridge game at Pruden's ended at 2:30 a.m. We dried our hair next day in motel room of parents.
Best ever - memories of Art and Theatre students taking over the back room of the Grille for games of Botticelli - the artsy version of 20 questions.
MAC for me was magic time.
Mac memories that have stuck with me
Sara (aka Sally) Henderson Walker
- learning to play bridge in "the grill" in the basement of Old Main ~~ sometimes when I should have been in class.
- being a p.e. major with Pat Weisner and Dorothy Michel as my advisors, teachers, role models and mentors.
- being a member of a jump rope team that performed around the Tri-Ciities
- living at 196 Vernon St.~ an off campus, private home with 4 other girls, only after our freshman year in a dorm
- the study sessions and study breaks we took to play cards and get food
- the fresh baked cookies that would appear on the top of the piano as we climbed the stairs to our rooms
- the winter snows that we trudged through to get to class and how beautiful the campus was then
- babysitting (English prof.) Jack Patnode's baby daughter, Maude
What an artist should look like
Carol DeBoer-Langworthy
There we were, sipping coffee and discussing Art with an Art major in the original Grill in Old Main sometime in the early 1960s. My friend Anne Harbour recalls the conversation with Jerry Rudquist and that guy, Wayne E. Potratz. Wayne was defending that new artist, Andy Warhol, from their criticisms. Although Warhols art was different from Waynes, Wayne was going to mat for Warhols right to try new things.
At the time, even us kids from small towns in the Midwest knew what an artist should look like. Sort of like a Beatnik, right? If male, a sculptor had to have long straggly hair, wear a lot of black, smoke cigarettes and possibly other things, drink alcohol, curse, frown a lot and be generally wild. But here was someone who obviously had great talent and was organized, serious about studying German, and brought a lunch to school every day from home. Wayne was an Eagle Scout with a crewcut and squeaky-clean. There went all my stereotypes of The Artist.
I worked for and received a fine education
Barbara Black Baird
My earliest memory of my time at Macalester was a case of desperate homesickness, something I had never before (or since) experienced. The following four years were filled with interesting classes, great professors, and good friends. I was no A student, but I worked for and received a fine education.
Ever the same (except for the buildings)
Janice Dickinson
Buildings that were here when we were and/or are now gone or renovated:
- Wallace Hall no longer has an attic its now rooms for students. I first lived in the attic of Wally in a private room (3 of us) and our own bath. The only drawback was any phone calls that came for us were on the third floor so we had to be called down. Now students have cell phones and I think the hall phones are gone.
- Old Library now the administration hall with offices
- East Old Main with grille and the breezeway to get to the Little Theater now the DeWitt Wallace Library (new library just celebrated its 25 anniversary). Place where faculty offices were, some classrooms (Wild Bill and his literature class), the womens commuter lounge; classes for typing (remember those)
- The Grille in the basement of East Old Main with those delicious custard filled donuts, coffee, conversation, bridge games
- Student Union now Ruth Stricker Dayton Campus Center. The guys and off campus students ate in the grille with those punch books that never lasted the entire semester, the bookstore in the corner, and the pos where you went every day to check you spo! Cochran Lounge upstairs where you could study, relax, enjoy concerts, dances, talks, etc. Offices on the upper level. Political Emphasis Week held there
- Little Theater now Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center. Beginning construction of this during our senior year. The theater for our productions, offices, the language lab where you could fall asleep listening to the tapes.
- International Center now the Presidents Home. The meals and receptions for the visiting lectures for the WPI journalists; receptions and dinners for international students; offices for the staff and the attic area where Harry Morgan and his family lived.
Finding my passion
Anne Harbour
Halfway through my last year at Macalester I researched potential careers for English majors who did not want to teach and chose publishing, having visited the editorial offices at Better Homes & Gardens. A few months later, Ray Livingston asked me what I planned to do, when I was able to reply, 'Go into publishing.' He promised to introduce me to his editor at the University of Minnesota Press. By sheer good luck, his editor had just lost her assistant to the Peace Corps. I began my new job immediately, attending classes mornings and working afternoons early graduation in August 1963.
Predicting the Lunch Menu
Gail Dufelmeier Stremel
I remember they only served spaghetti for lunch when I wore a white blouse.
President's Tea
Gail Dufelmeier Stremel
I remember wearing white gloves to the president's tea for incoming freshmen.
Frozen Hair Style
Gail Dufelmeier Stremel
I remember when the winter swim class was at 8 am, there were no hair dryers and my hair froze as I walked back to Wally.
Sarge's Scot Stop
Mark Nelson
Also Sarge's Scot Stop where I liked to play pinball and hang out.
Motivation From a Wheaties Cover
Mark Nelson
I remember the guest speakers we had in the old gym like Ogden Nash, a Mark Twain impersonator and the guy that made the cover of a Wheaties box as a pole vaulter who talked on motivation.
Work and play
David Ranheim
I remember doing the twist to Chubby Checker's music in the old Dayton Hall lounge and dressing up for the "formal dances" in the old Cochran Lounge. I also remember working as a cafeteria line cashier for the infamous "Miss G" in the basement of the old Student Union.

Black Liberation Theology and Rev. Jeremiah Wright
Professor Dwight Hopkins answers questions about the black church, black liberation theology, and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
When I was at the press conference he pretty much said he was surfacing for three reasons. One, he felt that people were mischaracterizing him as a religious leader. Two, he felt that people were mischaracterizing his church, Trinity. And three, he felt that people were mischaracterizing what he said, "My momma's faith." So he had to speak up, he says.
People can disagree in terms of political fallout and consequences, but you have to understand his side on his terms. People got into a political frame, "Well, you know, he's politically motivated to hurt Obama," as opposed to looking at the religious implications. I think that mixing of the political and religious frame is not doing full justice to what's going on in this historic moment in America.
At one point, Jeremiah Wright said, This is an attack on the black church. Is that right? It's a United Church of Christ church. How does this all fit together?
UCC is a predominantly white denomination. UCC has become one of the more liberal/progressive predominant white denominations on the gay/lesbian issue, on the ecology issue, racial justice issue, the ordination of women issue, Native American issues, the antiwar issues. So that's why Reverend Wright can feel comfortable in that denomination. The largest church within the UCC nationwide is Trinity. Trinity gives the most money to the national office, and the most monies for foreign--overseas missions. So that's how it situates itself, both in terms of the progressive liberal theology of the larger denomination and its commitment to this predominantly white denomination.
On the issue of attack on the black church, when I heard him say that, I took [him to mean] it was an attack on the progressive prophetic wing of the black church.
For the last 7 1/2 years, President Bush has promoted five black preachers who are prosperity gospel people. They are legitimate members of the black church. From my perspective, they have a different theology and a different biblical interpretation. But, clearly, Wright, who preaches against prosperity gospel, would not be including them in his statement.
Who are the prosperity gospel preachers that you're talking about?
You've got Creflo Dollar, Eddie Long, T.D. Jakes, and there are about two others. They've had access to President Bush, and he's actually promoted them for the last 7 1/2 years. I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm just saying they have similar theologies that have political consequences with the president.

Strong winds and blowing dust dramatically reduced visibility for drivers in Pueblo Monday afternoon, resulting in multiple crashes and snarled traffic on the interstate.
At least 20 cars were involved in crashes Monday. Seven people were taken to the hospital with injuries ranging from minor to serious.
Troopers said the situation stemmed from two semi-trucks that were involved in accidents. Those accidents then triggered other crashes.
One man who found himself caught in the middle of the chaos told 11 News he was "glad to be alive."
"Just bumps and bruises, we're blessed...it was a pretty scary moment," Matt Baumgartner said. "Obviously an opportunity to be wedged between an 18-wheeler and tanker usually doesn't turn out well."
Wind gusts clocked in at over 40 mph in the area Monday. Blowing dust made it hard for drivers to see more than 10 feet in front of them, according to State Patrol.
The crashes shut down the southbound lanes of I-25 near Pueblo Boulevard for five hours. State Patrol said some of the drivers involved may be ticketed once troopers finish their investigation.
Wind has been an issue in Pueblo for the last couple of days; the same area was also closed briefly Sunday because of multiple accidents and low visibility in the area.
