Clever Lids Convert Tin Cans Into Stylish Containers
Posted By Lea Stewart On July 29, 2009 @ 2:30 pm In Decorative Objects,Green Products,Innovation,Recycled Materials | 2 Comments
Not since the advent of the tin can telephone [1] have we seen such an ingenious use for cast-off cans! Designer and recent graduate of Northumbria University [2] Jack Bresnahan has created a set of nine lids that will turn any ordinary can into an industrial-chic container that looks like it came from a museum store. Made from biodegradable plastic [3], the sterile-looking white lids will transform a can into a vase, soap dispenser, sugar caster, tea and coffee canisters, toothbrush holder, money box, or desk organizer.
Jack Bresnahan recently showed his collection of can lids at the New Designers [4] exhibition in London. Bresnahan says that "concentration should be given to a product's life from birth to death and designers should take responsibility for their products when they eventually need to be disposed of." The standard "tin" can was patented in 1810 [5], but since the 1960's they have been made primarily with aluminum, making them entirely recyclable, corrosion resistant, and durable.
Far superior in style to competitive products, such as those cheap looking plastic lids used for half eaten dog food, these clever lids will make you anxious to feed fido so that you can salvage the can. We applaud Bresnahan's concepts and hope to see them commercially available in the future.

May 3, 2016
A harassment charge has been filed against a Long Island man who police say approached former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (joo-lee-AH'-nee) and threatened to hit him.
Authorities say John McCluskey repeatedly went up to the former Republican presidential candidate Saturday afternoon while he was walking in the tony beach town of Bridgehampton, a haven for the rich and famous on Long Island's eastern end where Madonna fell off a horse last month.
Southampton Town police say the 69-year-old Amagansett (am-uh-GAN'-set) resident was arrested on a second-degree harassment charge and was released on bail.
It's unclear whether McCluskey has a lawyer. A woman who answered the telephone at his home said she was renting the place for the summer and knew nothing about the case

The exact cause of a massive explosion and fire that killed three children and injured 16 at a remote Delta County lodge last month may never be known.
Sheriff Fred McKee says the fire that followed a March 19th blast at the Electric Mountain Lodge near Paonia burned so hot -- that it likely erased clues to its cause. But McKee says there's no reason to believe the explosion was anything other than an accident.
Investigators are now all-but-certain that a propane leak allowed gas to build up in the lodge's basement. An unknown source ignited the gas, blasting doors, windows and people out of the building on a Saturday afternoon.
Several visitors had reported smelling gas up to two days before the blast, but no criminal charges are expected.
The explosion and ensuing fire killed 12-year-old Leslie Ann Bilbrey and her two-year-old brother, Isaac Michael Watkins, both of Paonia -- and their 16-year-old cousin, Jamie Marie Reade, of Kansas City, Missouri.
Authorities have recovered human remains. D-N-A testing is now under way to make positive identifications.

I took a few days out of my regular Bible study plan to complete a packet on idolatry we were given in our community group. I was under no obligation to complete it, but the pages sat folded up in my Bible, and I'm pretty sure the Spirit was whispering "Go there. Study that packet."
Studying the packet has meant honestly questioning and analyzing my idols. The packet talks about our desires for comfort, approval, power, and control, and then asks questions such as "What are you most proud of?" "What do you turn to when things go wrong?" and "What do you spend the most time thinking about each day?" I answered these questions as honestly as I could by listing out all the fleshly impulses and thoughts that stream through my mind each day.
And you know what? My idols are beautiful.
Seriously. My idols are gorgeous. They are attractive to me and they probably look really good to onlookers as well.
Here are a few of them...
I love control, self-discipline, and meeting really high standards. When things go wrong, I micromanage and check things off a to-do list until everything feels right again. This is an ugly part of my heart, but it looks really good on the outside. It looks like always having a clean house, always being caught up on laundry, working out four days a week, and making a lot of home-cooked dinners.
It looks really freaking pretty.
And so I wondered, "What do you do when your idols look really good? Both to you and others?"
But then I realized, all idols look pretty. The Bible tells us that idols are covered in gold. They are crafted carefully by human hands to be breathtaking and captivating. Isaiah 40:19 says, "A craftsman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts for it silver chains." Idols are always gorgeous, so they camouflage the evil within.
In theory, I can think of "ugly" idols. I think of an eating disorder and the desire for control that leads to starvation and emaciated bodies. I think of binge eating and purging and it's not attractive. But do you know what IS attractive? Slender bodies and seeing a number you like on the scale. Eating healthy. Having the discipline to eat in moderation and saying no to sweets. Eating disorders are ugly, but they are covered in hundreds of beautiful jewels called "good health" and "discipline" to hide the ugliness beneath the surface.
Another ugly idol is the pornography industry. It makes me sick, especially that it's a gateway to the trafficking industry. It's such an evil, entrapping business. But you know what? It also looks beautiful to many. For those who dabble in it as consumers it looks like sexual desire fulfilled, relief and relaxation at no expense to others. For the women in the industry it looks like fame, beauty, and approval. For the producers, it means money and the comforts and security that come along with a big paycheck. The pornography business is one of the ugliest out there but it's covered by a million glittering jewels.
And my idols are covered with jewels and sparkling as well. In order to have a clean house, I run around all day fretting over chores and inwardly sigh when people come over and make a mess. I rearrange my whole schedule around going to the gym and will forsake social time and relationships to the treadmill. I keep everything in order around my home and then erupt in anger if Micah misses a dinner I prepared, leaves his clothes out, or asks me to be flexible about my schedule. The truth of the matter is my beautiful idols are really, very ugly.
And my idols only point to deeper issues in my heart. Having a clean house and a well-used gym membership are not the real problems. The real problem is that whenever I face difficulty, uncertainty, loss, or disappointment I turn to my to-do list instead of to the Lord. When I run into a problem, I try to spray it away with Windex instead of bringing it to God. When I am upset, I turn to a quick-fix of exercise-induced endorphins instead of crying out to my Savior.
I have a God who loves me utterly and who gives unending comfort, yet I turn to my to-do list in moments of anxiety and let the beautiful gods of discipline, chores, and routines rule my heart and my life. Change my heart, God. May I find my comfort in You and not a checklist. May I cling to You, rely on You, and be consumed with the knowledge that Your love and care will sustain me always.

text: Home Culture Sarah Palin Responds to Critics About Arizona Shootings In an eight-minute video posted on her Facebook page, the former governor blames journalists and pundits for creating "blood libel" against her. By: Nsenga Burton Posted: Jan. 12 2011 9:41 AM 0 Sarah Palin responds to critics. MSNBC is reporting that Sarah Palin has posted a nearly eight-minute video on her Facebook page condemning those who blame political rhetoric for the Arizona shooting that gravely wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Last spring Palin targeted Giffords' district as one of 20 that should be taken back. Palin has been criticized for marking each district with the crosshairs of a gun sight. In the video, she blamed journalists and pundits for manufacturing what she referred to as "blood libel" that incites hatred and violence. Interesting, because that's the same thing they were saying about her, but without the newly minted term. Palin said she had "listened, at first puzzled, then with concern and now with sadness to the irresponsible statements from people attempting to apportion blame for this terrible event." "Puzzled," "sadness" and "irresponsible" remind us of what we feel when listening to the former governor of Alaska. While she is obviously not directly responsible for the shootings, this incident presented an opportunity for her to address the need for responsible use of language in political rhetoric from both parties and some self-reflexivity. Clearly it was a missed opportunity. Read more and watch the video at MSNBC. In other news: Virginia Gov. McDonnell and Republicans Reveal Controversial Plan.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — A pan-African magazine says Africa has many more billionaires than previously reported, 55 of them worth more than $143 billion including a Nigerian said to be the richest black woman in the world.
"Move over, Oprah!" Ventures Africa says in its latest edition published this week.
Editor-in-chief Uzodinma Iweala said Tuesday the magazine's estimates are "on the conservative side."
The report predictably identifies Nigerian manufacturer Aliko Dangote as the richest African worth $20.2 billion, among 20 Nigerians listed.
Africa Ventures put the average net worth of Africa's billionaires at $2.6 billion and their average age at 65. The oldest billionaires are Kenyan industrialist Manu Chandaria and Egyptian property tycoon Mohammed Al-Fayed, both aged 84. The youngest billionaires are Mohammed Dewji of Tanzania and Nigerian oil trader Igho Sanomi, both 38 years old.
Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt had the highest numbers of the richest Africans, with nine in South Africa and eight in Egypt. It said Algeria, Angola, Zimbabwe and Swaziland only have one billionaire each. It identified billionaires in only 10 of Africa's 53 countries.
The magazine's survey surprised by identifying oil tycoon Folorunsho Alakija as the richest black woman in the world, saying that she is worth $7.3 billion.
Forbes magazine in its respected list had estimated Alakija's fortune at $600 million and Oprah Winfrey's worth at $2.9 billion.
The Forbes list of Africa's 40 Richest has only 16 billionaires including two Nigerians.
Last month, Forbes published a story describing Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos' daughter, Isabel, as Africa's only female billionaire worth about $3 billion.
"I think being more rigorous and being closer to the ground makes it easier to figure out on a continent where information is not as readily available and things are not as transparent," Iweala explained in a telephone interview.

The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger continues his chase for top quality players in his attempt to avoid events like the ones from last summer where the Gunners saw themselves forced to lose Fabregas and Nasri with virtually no time to negotiate deals with other players who were supposed to replace them.
Wenger wants to transfer the most part of the players he's after early on in the summer and get ready to hit the Premiership hard next season, and it seems that he just added a new name on his already unusually big transfer list.
This time it's not a star like Hazard, Vertonghen, Gotze or Podolski who are also wanted by Wenger, but it's a young hotshot who is sure to prove his skills big time in the future.
Wenger knows that second string keeper Fabianski is likely to leave the club in the summer because he grew frustrated by the fact that he can't seem to be able to catch the first team in front of Szczesny ever since his injury, so the Frenchman wants to have a replacement for him.
Arsenal seems set to transfer Birmingham's extraordinarily skilled young 19-year-old goalkeeper Jack Butland who also represents the English national team side at the U-21 level. Szczesny should really be worried about his spot if Butland is going to be brought as he's one of the most promising goalkeepers in the world at his age.
11 Responses to "Wenger Enlarges Wish List With A Top Young Englishman"
We need at least two top class keepers,so Arsene,go for Butland.
Gunner by Birth
I agree with you mate, so if we can get these players this could be the team next season: 1.Szczesny,3.Sagna,4.Vertonghen,5.Vermaelen,2.Gibbs,17.Song,
19.Wilshere,14.Gotze,11.Hazard,13.Podolski,10.Van Persie(C)!
12.Belhanda,15.Chamberlain! Please leave a comment on want you think guys.I'm a GOONER till I DIE!
Perfect gooner.I had the same lineup.U only omitted Jr Hoilet.
he will probably go spurs or he will stay at blackburn
Koscielny to start, Vertonghon should be on the bench. I can't see Santos or Coqulin and Roscisky in your line up
I rate Koscienlny over Vertonghen at CB. I would also rate Rosicky (assuming current form continues) over Ramsey & Arteta. I actually think our current 1st 11 could really challenge for the title. We just need to make sure we have real quality to step in if any of them are injured – also another real top class striker for when RVP gets injured or needs resting – or we aren't winning with half an hour to go.
completely unrealistic team,
never guna happen!
well maybe if you were playing football manager
to jack essex: how old are you?you are not going to be serious with that dream line up?how much wenger will have to dig for that players and i doubt about it..maybe 3 players the most we can get..be realistic mate
Andre santos suppose 2 b d 1st left bk choice
mine, instead of Hazard and Gotze, I'll prefer Dries Mertens from PSV and Jr Hoilet.
Szcesney mannone butland martinez – that is 4 top class keepers.
almunia fabianski and mcdermott can leave
with charles-cook vickers and huddart as well our keeping situation would be in good hands.
i would offer birmingham fabianski and mcdermott in a straight swap for butland.
djourou and squillaci plus cash for vertonghen
Chamakh plus cash for podolski
I would also go for clyne and hoilett
imo that is all we need. i know everyone wants another couple of kids like gotze and hazard. but honestly if we could add hoilett to walcott gervinho arshavin chamberlain miyaichi song coquelin frimpong arteta ramsey wilshire lansbury diaby rosicky eisfeld ozyakup yennaris wellington and gnabry why would we want hazard and gotze? Imo we already have enough players of that ilk. rvp podolski chamakh park bendtner vela campbell afobe there is 8 players to compete for the lone striker role its not hard to work out who is first choice rvp and 2nd choice podolski but between the other 6 there is enough quality for understudies. Wenger just needs to find out which of them is up for the job and who can actually do the job. by that i mean which one can come on for 20 minutes here and there and do a good job as well stand in when rvp and podolski needs a rest or is injured.

Three other local players also selected, including SDSU's McFadden by Cleveland
Gavin Escobar will be catching passes from Tony Romo next season.
On Friday, the Dallas Cowboys selected the former Aztec tight end in the second round of the NFL Draft, making him the 47th overall pick.
Escobar had gone out to the backyard for a second when his phone rang, and a number with a Texas area code flashed on the screen.
The first person on the phone was a Dallas Cowboys scout. Then, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones came on the line.
"We think highly of you," Jones told the shocked tight end. "We're going to draft you."
"I was so excited I didn't know what to do. All I could say was 'thank you,' " Escobar said over the phone from his home in Orange County. "It's all kind of surreal. Just the feeling that I'm a Cowboy now, and that's where I'll be playing.
"It's a big relief. Draft day has been suspenseful."
One round later, it was Leon McFadden's turn.
McFadden was selected by the Cleveland Browns with the 68th overall pick, and he'll go to an organization where he'll get to compete for the starting cornerback spot opposite Joe Haden.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Browns General Manager Mike Lombardi told reporters that McFadden has starting ability and can play inside or outside.
McFadden finished his SDSU career as a four-year starter and a three-time All-Mountain West first-team selection.
He was the 11th cornerback off the board.
Other locals drafted
• Former Helix High and Boise State cornerback Jamar Taylor was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the second round, with the 54th overall pick.
Taylor earned All-Mountain West first team honors in 2012 and finished his senior season with 51 tackles, including 2.5 for loss, and 2.5 sacks. He also had nine pass breakups, four interceptions and three forced fumbles.
• San Diego native and Kentucky alum Larry Warford, who played his first two years of high school at Oceanside, was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the third round with the 65th overall pick.
Warford started 37 games for Kentucky at offensive guard.

Soldiers' daughters show love for fathers through ice skating
February 17, 2011
By Sgt. Luisito Brooks (4th Bde., 2nd Inf. Div. Public Affairs)
Story Highlights
- Five servicemembers from JBLM were given an ice skating treat by their daughters
Standing in uniform on an ice rink in front of a large crowd was not the easiest thing for Sgt. 1st Class Mark Bowman to do.
It was proof of a father's love.
"I was so nervous out there on the ice," said Bowman, a platoon sergeant in B Company, 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. "The last thing I want to do is slip and fall in front of everyone."
He and five other servicemembers from Joint Base Lewis-McChord carefully made their way to the center of the rink, where they stood smartly in formation.
As "God Bless America" played in the background, nine young girls - skaters from the Lakewood Winter Club - conducted a graceful performance in front of the Soldiers on the ice.
After the skaters' individual routines, each young lady glided up to a particular servicemember and kissed him on the cheek.
"It doesn't take very much to honor the sacrifices made by our servicemembers," a voice echoed over the ice on a loud speaker. "And the daughters of these servicemembers are doing just that."
The tribute to the six Soldiers was part of a Pierce County Parks and Recreation event titled "Honoring Our Hometown Heroes" at the Sprinker Recreation Center in Tacoma Saturday.
The all-day event featured games, local vendors and physical fitness activities, ending with the military-themed skating show.
The skaters performing for the event came from a variety of age groups and skill levels.
Bowman's two daughters Brooke, 13, and Hailey, 8, said that in contrast to their father's jitters, they felt very prepared and ready for the ceremony.
"I wasn't nervous at all," Hailey said. "I have performed in front of a crowd like this before."
She joyously added that honoring her dad for his service was a great experience.
"Having my dad out there was cool," she said. "I enjoyed it."
Their mother, Jennifer Bowman, recalled that her girls discovered their love of skating in the family's back yard.
"One day when it was freezing cold outside, we filled a court in our neighborhood with water," Jennifer said. "When it froze over, the girls went out on the ice and they haven't stopped since."
Encouraging their daughters' interest in the sport, the Bowmans enrolled the girls in lessons at the Lakewood Winter Club, a 70 year-old organization nationally known for its figure skating program.
The girls' six day-a-week lessons have so far paid off, with Brooke winning a regional competition in her age group.
Their coach for the past six years, Stephanie Rowland, said that events like these are a truly special way for the community to show their support for the military.
"I don't have family in the military, but I consider these children and their parents my family," Rowland said. "We share a lot of love with these families."

Nexus 7, splitting audio, and gadgets?
Hey guys, For our upcoming trip to Paris/5T/Florence/Siena/Rome I'm planning on bringing my Nexus 7 and possibly my Asus Transformer Infinity TF700T w/ docking station or a Macbook Air (still unopened - debating whether or not I really need it). The TF700T would be great for when the both of us want to browse or read (hopefully over wifi) during downtime at the hotel, etc. The purpose of bringing the Nexus 7 would be to have something on-the-go to look up maps/directions/navigation (offline/cached Google maps and also tethered to my Droid 2 Global if necessary for data usage) and to listen to the Rick Steves audio walking tours. For the latter, on listening to the walking tours, I'm trying to figure out the best solution for splitting up the audio between my wife and I. 3.5mm splitters would be the cheapest, but I don't want one of us to be leashed haha. The other option is buying a bluetooth splitter and a couple of receivers (or BT stereo headsets) - this could get expensive though.
Anyone know if it's possible to listen to audio simultaneously through the 3.5mm jack AND the built-in bluetooth on the Nexus? This would probably be the cheapest and most flexible solution, if it's possible. I don't have a BT stereo headset/receiver to test with so was wondering if anyone else has experience. Any ideas?

UWM Sustainability Fund
It is important to engage all stakeholders of the UWM community when it comes to sustainability. Every student, faculty, and staff should have a way to become a part of the changes happening around campus. It is one thing to put a solar panel up that is funded by an outside resource, but it entirely different for a student to be able to say, "I did that. I was a part of that change"
The Sustainability Fund offers the UWM community a way to connect with their surroundings. Their efforts, and dollars, can amount to something real that will benefit the entire campus.
The Sustainability Fund is managed through the UWM Foundation with primary purpose of supporting projects to make UWM a more environmentally sustainable community. Such projects might include, but are not limited to, harnessing renewable energies, improving recycling, managing storm water, or improving the energy efficiency of campus buildings.

WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Dick Cheney said he had the wireless feature of the implanted defibrillator that helped keep him alive in 2007 disabled because he feared terrorists could use it to kill him.
"It seemed to me to be a bad idea for the vice president to have a device that maybe somebody on a rope line or in the next hotel room or downstairs might be able to get into, hack into," Cheney said on CBS' "60 Minutes" program airing Sunday night. "I worried that someone could kill you."
A similar scenario was later used as a scene from the Showtime television drama "Homeland." Cheney said the scene was "credible" and an "accurate portrayal of what was possible." Cheney was on CBS to promote his new book "Heart: An American Medical Odyssey," co-written with his cardiologist Jonathan Reiner.
Cheney, 72, has had five heart attacks — his fourth during the 2000 presidential recount — and underwent numerous medical procedures including quadruple bypass and having the defibrillator implanted before he got a transplant last year.

With the heart transplant, which he called "a miracle," Cheney said he is able to fish, hunt and spend time with his granddaughter. He said he doesn't ski, though — "but that's because of my knees, not my heart."
Cheney told correspondent Sanjay Gupta that his health was so tied to his political career, just 67 days after taking the oath as vice president, he prepared a letter of resignation to President George W Bush, which he could hand over if he felt his health deteriorating.
Cheney discovered there was no provision in the constitution to replace a vice president who is alive, but incapacitated. So he drew up the letter of resignation.

I have bought these curtains for 3 rooms because I love them so much! They hang beautiful and the color was light and elegant. I would highly recommend these to anyone. I bought them for one room and then went back to buy more. :)

The curtains arrived promptly, looked beautiful, & had a nice feel. I only returned them because they are dryclean only & that is not in my budget. I will search for something washable. Customer service was awesome as usual.
mattieny from WestchesterCounty,NewYork, 06/05/2015
We chose a neutral color and are pleased. The fabric texture is heavy enough to hang well without wrinkles. The curtains block out the light very well.
lindasl from Texas, 06/05/2015
Bought these curtains because I have an open winding staircase which allowed cold air to cool my apartment. My heating bill was cut from $400+ to slightly over $200. Just the savings alone make this one of the best purchases I've ever made. The product obviously speaks for itself in terms of keep warm air in and cold air out, the color of the curtains was true to how it appeared online. Would definitely recommend this to all.
mushieb from Queens, NY 05/21/2014
Perfect curtain, perfect length. Be careful with color and length, because it is a pain to return. I picked the wrong color at first. Love the quality of the curtains. They look great and have good blackout for sleeping in.
thurmond01 from Green Bay, WI 05/21/2014
I really wanted blackout curtains for this window as the morning sun is quite fierce. While it dims well, it is NOT a blackout curtain by any stretch of the imagination. If you need true darkness to sleep during the day this is not the curtain for you. Otherwise the texture, weight of the fabric and color are great.

I bought these curtains because I needed thermal drapes and the color appeared to match the Urban Putty color on my walls. While I was a little concerned that they would look cheap, I ordered anyway figuring I would buy better quality drapes at a later date. I was amazed at how close the color came to my wall paint. The material looks expensive and hangs beautifully. And they really do block the heatt (and the cold). I am very happy with the quality, the low cost was a bonus.
loeye from Louisiana 05/21/2014
These are very nice panels; I did return them because I decided to go with a different color.
dianekj from Ohio 05/21/2014
Had to return thus item because it was dry clean only. Even though the website said...machine washable....which was the main reason I got them....I had to return. I was shopping for machine washable..
debbh from Hky, NC 05/21/2014
Nice material, heavy, good blackout (although not completely) I used these curtains in my room that had a color scheme of greens/beiges and it looked very elegant. My curtains were hung from ceiling to floor and this made the room look very elegant. The color is more of a yellow beige than a brown beige
lanhy from FL 05/21/2014
Love them... nice fast service 5 star....first halfpricedrapes purchase and I will be back!
suehobart from massachusetts 05/21/2014
The curtains are much softer than previous blackout curtains I purchased which actually allowed for a better "seal", so-to-speak with the window- blocking out more light then my stiffer sets (which I purchased from ***) which are so "stiff" they don't conform to the window well & light seeps out around the sides & bottom. Not so with this set- highly recommend! Much higher quality.
mckoygirl from New Jersey 05/21/2014
We bought these drapes to cover some very large windows that face north in in the southwest. We get a ton of sunlight in our windows all day, and needed drapes that would provide light control and insulation...these do a great job of both. We are very pleased with our purchase, and the price was very good for the quality.
jacquelinedb from New Mexico 05/21/2014
Alway shop halfpricedrapes first. Needed neurtral drapes to block afternoon sun and heat. Also desired some room darkening. Selected many sites, but went back and ordered the first set on halfpricedrapes. Good quality, good construction, hung straight from bag to window and the few wrinkles droppped out within days....no ironing needed. Would buy again.
shoppingwithaview from Las Vegas, NV 05/21/2014
The panels arrived and I was very please. The color match exactly to my decor.
intexas09 from Fort Worth, TX 05/21/2014
Nice heavy fabric and I love that they are wide also. I purchased eight of them for my outdoor patio-just the perfect touch to block out sun and add coziness to the space.

HURLEY LINE LAUNCH FEATURES THE RAMONESYouth brand Hurley (Hurley.com), who have strong roots in beach culture, skate, art and music, have announced the release of an exclusive clothing and eyewear collection influenced by the art of iconic punk rock band, the Ramones.
The collection consists of 16 styles for men and women, and is a graphic-rich interpretation of Hurley's signature boardshorts, hoodies, basic tees and eyewear.
Featuring premium fabrics and innovative treatments, the Ramones collection by Hurley incorporates select artwork from various Ramones' albums and concert posters. The collection was launched during an eclectic art show at Hurley's Headquarters in Costa Mesa, CA this past Friday and will be followed by retail launch events at Fred Segal in Santa Monica, CA tomorrow, November 6th, and American Rag at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, CA on November 8th.
"I love the Ramones for their energy - the songs are exciting, brilliantly simple, and fun" said Bob Hurley, founder and ceo, Hurley. "I used to make surfboards for a living and every morning at 4:30am, I'd cruise into my factory, switch on the lights, insert my cassette tape and crank up some Ramones super loud. Their music gave me energy and inspiration; and the group changed the status quo, which is something that has always appealed to me."
Hurley's association with the Ramones began as part of Hurley's "Against The Grain" art series, which the company established in Summer 2005 to celebrate the intersections of surf, music, art, and the creativity that influences youth culture. The first "Against The Grain" series launched with a show featuring the art of the Ramones by Arturo Vega and surfboards by legendary shapers from the original punk rock movement.
The Ramones collection by Hurley will be available at select boutiques nationwide immediately following the launch events, with prices ranging from $50 for tshirts and $150 for hoodies.

Vanderbilt 74, South Carolina 64
March 9, 2013
Recap |
Box Score |
Notes |
AP Photos |
Howell's Photos
Vanderbilt Head Coach Kevin Stallings Opening Comments:"I'm proud of our team for hanging in there this season and fighting until the end. South Carolina got in a bit of a run in the second half when they made two or three three-pointers in a row, but for the most part, we did a good job. I think we took care of the ball against their pressure and they had to play against our set defense, which I thought was critical." On Vanderbilt's free throw shooting:"We were able to get to the line more in the second half. Kedren [Johnson] did a good job of getting to the foul line." On the upcoming SEC Tournament starting for Vanderbilt on Thursday:"There have been other teams that have won their conference tournaments after playing five games, although I wouldn't be confident about our team winning five games in five days. We're happy to play in the tournament. I'm excited for our team. It's a great place to have the tournament, in Nashville." On Vanderbilt forward Rod Odom:"If he hit that last three (in the first half), I think the house would have come down on him. His run got started with a backdoor layup. He has played better for us at the end of the season, which is part of the reason we've had so much success." On being the defending SEC Tournament Champions:"I don't think that's going to make any shots for us. We're proud of that championship. We'll always be proud of it. We're proud of that team coming together at the right time and doing some special. That's a pretty neat moment in our program's history." Vanderbilt forward Rod Odom On his 16 first half points:"Dai-Jon (Parker) made a couple great passes to me and that got me going. I got my confidence up and was able to get inside a couple times. I got a lot of good looks that were set up by my teammates." On how much more confident the team is at the free throw line now:"I think a lot of guys didn't have game experience and hadn't been in those situations. When you miss a couple, it really messes with your confidence. They've really settled down and the coaches really helped with that by staying after practice and shooting more free throws." On what is different now compared to a month ago when the team couldn't hold onto leads:"One thing that resonated with me is that Coach (Stallings) said when a team goes on a run, our body language was really bad and everybody would drop their shoulders. We were like, `Oh man, this is happening again.' I think now, when a team goes on a run, we know we have to stay composed and makes shots and make our free throws. I think guys have a lot more confidence in themselves down the stretch."Vanderbilt guard Dai-Jon Parker On closing out the game at the free throw line:"I think it was a big game for us as we go down the stretch. I think we got the chance to show our poise and maturity. We did a good job today, as we went 23-of-28." On if he called `glass' on his three-pointer:"No I did not, but everybody knows the bank is open on Saturdays. I didn't have to call that one. The backboard isn't up there for no reason, so I guess it helped tonight." On going into the SEC Tournament as defending champs:"People probably forgot we were the defending champs, but we're not going to look at it that way. I think it will give us a good chance to get off our feet (by not playing until Thursday). It should help motivate us since we are the defending champs. We're coming up from behind, so look out."South Carolina Head Coach Frank Martin Opening Comments:"I give a lot of credit to Vanderbilt. I'm a fan of Coach Stallings and it's been fun watching him coach those young kids and the way they've grown since back in November. I enjoy watching their team play because they play the right way." On if Vanderbilt concentrated on locking down Brenton Williams early:"Obviously when a kid comes off a 38-point game, I think as a coach you address that with your team, and obviously they did that. I don't think Brenton utilized some screens that we were trying to set for him early in the game as aggressively as he did a couple days ago." On if he has talked to his team about the SEC Tournament:"Those are things we'll address over the next few days. You coach the season and then you coach the postseason. I don't believe you integrate the postseason and the regular season because they are two separate entities, two separate set of emotions. We have guys who have been through it and guys who haven't, but it's the first time we're going through it as us (this year's team). We'll regroup like we have all year and be ready to go and try to play the best game we've played all year on Wednesday."

- Travis Henry at ease with big fatherhood statistics
People don't have to deal with death to experience tragedy.
If the accusations of a failed drug test against Travis Henry are true, he would become a living definition.
According to my dictionary, a tragedy is a drama in which the main character is brought to ruin or suffers extreme sorrow, especially as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances.
In a matter of weeks, if not days, Henry may well become the quintessential tragic hero. It's all there for the Broncos running back. He is blessed with so much strength and quickness and an innate ability to carry a football.
He is one month through a five-year contract that includes $12 million in guarantees, although we'll now see about that.
He gets to play running back in the NFL's most prolific tailback system of the past dozen seasons. Through four games with the Broncos, Henry was the NFL's leading rusher.
"We need Travis Henry," said Andre Hall, the Broncos' third- string running back. "He's perfect for this offense. Right now, nobody does it better than him. We need him. I need him. I need him as a friend and to learn from him. I just hope to God everything's negative."
The Broncos counted on Henry. Pretty much placed all their footballs in his equipment bag. And now the Broncos are caught holding the possibility of a lost season.
The best chance for the Broncos, it seems, is for the judicial system to live up to its reputation of putting off today what can be postponed in a few months. Henry tested positive for marijuana for the second time in two years, third time overall. He insisted, through court documents he filed to abscond the results, "there is no valid reason why any unlawful substance would be in my urine. This must be a mistake."
According to sources, Henry's THC levels were so minuscule, there's reason to raise suspicion about the testing. If his claim is ultimately rejected by the hardly lenient NFL, however, the mistake would be on the Broncos. Providing NFL lawyers - let's call them the New England Patriots of the U.S. legal system - get Henry's complaint dismissed in court, he would be on his way to a 16-game suspension.
It might as well be a lifetime. Anyone seen Ricky Williams in the league, lately?
Barring an unprecedented victory by his own legal team, pot may well bring ruin to Henry as a football player and suffering of extreme sorrow to Broncoland.
Few outside Colorado would say the Broncos got a bad break with Henry's latest indiscretion. They knew the risk he presented and they signed him, anyway.
The other 31 teams will not say the Broncos got what they deserve.
But after getting to know Henry these past seven months, I understand why Broncos coach Mike Shanahan gave him a shot.
Henry is genuinely friendly. He not only likes to laugh, he will laugh at himself. He is polite, mannerly.
And he is a heartbreaker.
"I pray for Travis because a lot of negative things have been written about him in the newspaper about situations which I don't approve of," Broncos strong safety Nick Ferguson said. "Because we all have situations, we all have problems. To have all this media scrutiny on this one player, and he's not a bad guy. If this were Joe Trash Man, would anyone care?"
I feel bad for Travis. I feel worse for Henry's nine children. And I feel for Broncos fans.
As Henry continues to carry the ball until the protracted court system plays out, some fans may feel funny about cheering for him.
How tragic.

Jomama Jones: RadiateA Workshop Presentation
The triumphant return of the legendary soul singer you can't quite remember, but will never forget.
Decades after her departure from the spotlight, Jomama Jones returns to Los Angeles for 2 nights only in her American comeback tour. Rooted mysteriously in the sounds of the 70s and 80's, this soul sonic superstar promises an intimate concert awash in love and light, reminiscent of Diana Ross, Josephine Baker and Teena Marie.
Conceived by Daniel Alexander Jones with Bobby Halvorson, JOMAMA JONES: RADIATE is an interactive concert event – part happening, part revival, a whole lot of risk – in which Jones takes us on a hilarious and inspiring journey of story, song and self-discovery.
- The New York Times

in The potting shed
When we moved here 18 months ago all my tools were organised neatly on hooks and shelves on the garage wall and I could find everything - then my parents moved into a Res. Home and I became responsible for bits of their furniture (that nobody wants) and crates of their belongings (that can't be got rid of ) - there're all in front of my gardening tools
When I retire one of my first jobs will be to empty it out and organise it - but for this season I'm going to have to burrow underneath the heaps if I want to find anything
No matter how big the shed, it will always be full of something.
That's not a shed ............ it's a barn
Yes, I took this just after treating the wood.
We had pulled down a wall at the back of the house,that provided the stone, the timber cladding was very cheap because the local timber yard machined it the wrong size for a customer.
Oh some of these look good! Is that sad? I'll have to read these thoroughly when I get back from work..no time now!
Highland Jeannie wrote (see) I wonder whether people's sheds are like their houses for order & tidiness?? (We can't throw away anyhting "just in case" & our house, loft, garage & shed all reflect that) Ah, someone after me own heart, sounds just like us, Jeannie. Main thing is that it feels like home!

Every time I throw something away I need it. Unless it's total rubbish of course. One day I will be back to 9 stone and I will need all those clothes - and they'll be back in fashion because fashion goes round in cycles!
Gardening Grandma wrote (see)
Don't kid me, Zoomer. You are a neat and organised person. I might open the door, shut my eyes and throw, shutting the door fast before anything could fall out again!

GG- That sounds just like my sister's kitchen...
Brum I think I saw that too. I have a shed here which is a novelty for me. Last house had a huge garage and a workshop so room for masses of 'stuff' and my house before had a garage so I kept tools in there- and my car- unusual I know! The girls had a playhouse which we kept various pets in and I made a little window box for it and grew climbers up it so it was quite sweet.
This shed is a decent one and the lady I bought it from left lots of useful stuff but I will be putting up hooks and shelves for all the bits and bobs so that'll keep me busy.
On a related note- has anyone done the 'green roof' on their shed? I'd quite like to do that and wonder if anyone has had success with it. All suggestions gratefully received!
I have one and a half sheds, both are former outside toilets.
The whole shed is outside the kitchen door, still waiting for warmer weather to finally take the toilet bowl out and panell the walls so I can hang stuff on. The half a shed has stupidly thick walls and no door or roof so that is the main project for the summer.
I have a wooden shed, has anyone tried a metal shed?
I have a metal shed that I use for horse food and grooming kit. It got very hot in summer so I stuck some aluminium foil type insulating stuff on the ceiling and it's much better.
We have recently got a shed so its very tidy at the moment, with just a few tools hung on hooks. There is a double shelf/bench running along one length under the window (potting shed) lawn mower also in there. The rest is in the garage. It locks with a key but we also have a padlock on it. We back onto fields and woods.
and summer house with olympic flags our youngest son was a games maker
heres mine a few years back .6x6 post war ex council .
No missus, but I do have one.
Well I suppose it could be said that I've sharpened the odd pair of shears in my time.
Trouble is with these interior shots, you can only get a little corner in shot.
I have a rather long narrow outhouse too, that's where most of the gardening stuff lives.
I design and construct outbuildings, sheds and garages for a living, and often think that I'd love to be able to afford what I construct. Example below. Sadly I never get to lay them out inside though.
The shed/workshop that I built at our last house was this one, which I spent many happy hours in. It was just as a man cave should be, and was a bit of a meeting place for evening socialising with mates.
But since we moved some four years or so ago, other than the shed below that I made to house the usual gardening gear, I have been without a shed. The only cost involved in making the shed below was for the ballast and cement to cast the base. The rest was just salvaged rubbish.
Just this week I decided that the time has come for me to make a proper man cave, so I have decided to convert half of the garage into a shed/workshop. I have only just started the project, but you can get the idea. With any luck it should be neat and tidy inside with everything just in it's place.

This is a template that is used as part of the Installation instructions which covers: the process of partitioning and filesystem creation. Templates are being used to allow multiple variant install guides that use most of the same re-usable parts.
Prepare Hard Disk
In earlier times, there was only one way to boot a PC-compatible computer. All of our desktops and servers had a standard BIOS, all our hard drives used Master Boot Records, and were partitioned using the MBR partition scheme. And we liked it that way!
Then, along came EFI and UEFI, which are new-style firmware designed to boot systems, along with GPT partition tables to support disks larger than 2.2TB. All of the sudden, we had a variety of options to boot Linux systems, turning what once was a one-method-fits-all approach into something a lot more complex.
Let's take a moment to review the boot options available to you. This Install Guide uses, and recommends, the old-school method of BIOS booting and using an MBR. It works. There's nothing wrong with it. If your system disk is 2TB or smaller in size, it won't prevent you from using all of your disk's capacity, either.
But, there are some situations where the old-school method isn't optimal. If you have a system disk >2TB in size, then MBR partitions won't allow you to access all your storage. So that's one reason. Another reason is that there are some so-called "PC" systems out there that don't support BIOS booting anymore, and force you to use UEFI to boot.
Our recommendation is still to go old-school unless you have reason not to. We call this method the BIOS + GRUB (MBR) method. It's the traditional method of setting up a PC-compatible system to boot Linux.
If you need to use UEFI to boot, we are supporting two options. One still uses the BIOS to boot, but with GPT partition tables to support system disks >2.2TB in size. We refer to this method as the BIOS + GRUB (GPT) method.
There is also another method, which avoids using the BIOS for booting at all. Instead, it uses UEFI, with GPT. We call this the UEFI + GRUB (GPT) method.
Partitioning Recommendations
Below are our partitioning recommendations in table form. For MBR-based partitions, use the MBR Block Device and MBR code columns with
fdisk. For GPT-based partitions, use the GPT Block Device and GPT Code columns with
|MBR Block Device (
|GPT Block Device (
|MBR Code
|GPT Code
|GRUB boot loader partition
|not required for MBR
|For GPT/GUID only, skip for MBR - no filesystem.
|2x RAM for low-memory systems and production servers; otherwise 2GB.
|swap (default)
/ (root)
|Rest of the disk, minimum of 10GB. Note: to compile the
debian-sources kernel, as described later on this page, requires a minimum of 14GB free space in
/tmp; consider a minimum of 20GB in this case.
|XFS recommended, alternatively ext4
/home (optional)
|User storage and media. Typically most of the disk.
/dev/sda4 (if created)
/dev/sda5 (if created)
|XFS recommended, alternatively ext4
|LVM (optional)
|If you want to create an LVM volume.
/dev/sda4 (PV, if created)
/dev/sda5 (PV, if created)
Partitioning Using fdisk (MBR)
If you need to create a GPT partition table, see Partitioning using gdisk or Partitioning using parted.
These install instructions assume you are installing Funtoo Linux to an hard disk using Master Boot Record partition tables (MBR). If you are installing Funtoo Linux on a machine where another OS is installed, there is an existing Linux distribution on your system that you want to keep or any other scenario (such as differing swap size requirements), then you will need to adapt these instructions to suit your needs.
fdisk is the tool used to create an MBR partition table. MBR is well-supported on PCs and is recommended if your system disk is 2TB or smaller.
First, it's a good idea to make sure that you've found the correct hard disk to partition. Try this command and verify that
/dev/sda is the disk that you want to partition:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes, 1250263728 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: gpt
# Start End Size Type Name
1 2048 1250263694 596.2G Linux filesyste Linux filesystem
Now, it's recommended that you erase any existing MBR or GPT partition tables on the disk, which could confuse the system's BIOS at boot time. We do this using
This will make any existing partitions inaccessible! You are strongly cautioned and advised to backup any critical data before proceeding.
# sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda
Creating new GPT entries.
GPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the disk using fdisk or
other utilities.
This output is also nothing to worry about, as the command still succeded:
*************************************************************** Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format in memory. ***************************************************************
Now we will use
fdisk to create the MBR partition table and partitions:
# fdisk /dev/sda
fdisk, follow these steps:
Empty the partition table:
Command (m for help): o ↵
Create Partition 1 (boot):
Command (m for help): n ↵ Partition type (default p): ↵ Partition number (1-4, default 1): ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: +128M ↵
Create Partition 2 (swap):
Command (m for help): n ↵ Partition type (default p): ↵ Partition number (2-4, default 2): ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: +2G ↵ Command (m for help): t ↵ Partition number (1,2, default 2): ↵ Hex code (type L to list all codes): 82 ↵
Create the root partition:
Command (m for help): n ↵ Partition type (default p): ↵ Partition number (3,4, default 3): ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: ↵
Verify the partition table:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 298.1 GiB, 320072933376 bytes, 625142448 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x82abc9a6
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2048 264191 131072 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 264192 4458495 2097152 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 4458496 625142447 310341976 83 Linux
Write the parition table to disk:
Command (m for help): w
Your new MBR partition table will now be written to your system disk.
Creating filesystems
Before your newly-created partitions can be used, the block devices need to be initialized with filesystem metadata. This process is known as creating a filesystem on the block devices. After filesystems are created on the block devices, they can be mounted and used to store files.
You will not create a filesystem on your swap partition, but will initialize it using the
mkswap command so that it can be used as disk-based virtual memory. Then we'll run the
swapon command to make your newly-initialized swap space active within the live CD environment, in case it is needed during the rest of the install process.
Note that we will not create a filesystem on the GRUB boot loader partition, as GRUB writes binary data directly to that partition when the boot loader is installed, which we'll do later.
You can see the commands you will need to type below. Like the rest of this document, it assumes that you are using a GPT partitioning scheme. If you are using MBR, your root filesystem will likely be created on
/dev/sda3 instead and you will need to adjust the target block devices. If you are following our recommendations, then simply do this:
We generally recommend XFS for root filesystems, although ext4 is also a good choice. This tutorial assumes the use of XFS. If you want to use ext4, then be sure that your
/etc/fstab file reflects this.
When deploying an OpenVZ host, please use ext4 exclusively. The Parallels development team tests extensively with ext4, and modern versions of
openvz-rhel6-stable are not compatible with XFS, and you may experience kernel bugs.
To use ext4 as your root filesystem:
# mke2fs -t ext2 /dev/sda1 # mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3 # mkswap /dev/sda2 # swapon /dev/sda2
To use XFS as your root filesystem:
# mke2fs -t ext2 /dev/sda1 # mkfs.xfs /dev/sda3 # mkswap /dev/sda2 # swapon /dev/sda2
Mounting filesystems
Mount the newly-created filesystems as follows, creating
/mnt/funtoo as the installation mount point:
# mkdir /mnt/funtoo # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/funtoo # mkdir /mnt/funtoo/boot # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/funtoo/boot
Optionally, if you have a separate filesystem for
/home or anything else:
# mkdir /mnt/funtoo/home # mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/funtoo/home
If you have
/tmp or
/var/tmp on a separate filesystem, be sure to change the permissions of the mount point to be globally-writeable after mounting, as follows:
# chmod 1777 /mnt/funtoo/tmp

Treasury warns NHS trusts over tax avoidance
A minister has warned hospital trusts about using schemes to avoid paying tax, reports Nick Huber.
Back in June, ITV News revealed that as many as 30 NHS trusts in England were using new forms of short term contracts, on which tax is not payable, rather than using the traditional agency model where locum agencies charge the hospital a fee and VAT on top.
But according to ITV News, the chief secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander, has said...

Avoiding VAT .... by claiming it back
So why can't the hospital just offset VAT paid against other VAT .... or hasn't it kept the receipts ?
Claiming back the VAT ...
... sounds like a plan, except ...
... what do you think will be the value of taxable supplies attributable to the costs of hiring locum doctors?
I realise this is a gross over-simplification but if the VAT on such services requires to be paid in full and is a best partially recoverable, then presumably the NHS trusts will require more funding from the taxpayer to balance their own budgets which would presumably come at least in part from funds raised from VAT? It gives the Civil Service something to do I suppose.
Another sort of contract perhaps
To avoid issuing lots of P45's, perhaps a new sort of employment contract could be devised that gives employment status, but without the obligation to provide any fixed hours. It could be called a 'Zero Hours Contract'.
Can't imagine any problem with that at all.
Healthcare should be zero rated
Healthcare should be zero-rated.
Forget EU rules. (Let's quit if need be).
Let's look at benefiting society in the UK instead.
The health of the nation is paramount.
The cost of healthcare would be less if it were zero rated rather than exempt. VAT accounting and administration costs would be simplified too.
So, I suggest that VAT avoidance by providors of healthcare is morally excellent - cutting the cost of healthcare is to be applauded.
Healthcare VAT
For the record healthcare is VAT exempt and NHS Trusts cannot normally claim back VAT incurred, other than on certain "contracted out" services. Over time the list of such services allowable has been reduced by Treasury/HMRC and this increases the cost of agency staff. There are other examples of normal business taxes and penalties increasingly being applied to NHS bodies. No funding adjustments are done to increase NHS budgets but it seems to help HMRC achieve their targets. An example of mission creep?

DH & DD went to Stockton to watch team mates compete at States. Since they're not much into seafood, especially the shellfish kind, I decided to make the Zarzuela, Spanish Seafood soup, that I found in Raley's "something extra" (Jan/Feb/Mar 2012) edition. AMAZING! I put the recipe in my recipes, but accidentally put the recipe as 1 serving instead of six so the calorie count was astronomical. Sigh. I couldn't find a way to edit the recipe after it was submitted. Darn!
Tonight, I'm having a 'play date' with my best bud. We had planned to walk in Crissy Field, but it's pretty miserable out so we decided to go roller skating then out to late lunch early dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Since sashimi, miso soup & salad worked so well for me last week, I'm having that again. Yum!!
I still need to choose a couple of meals for this week. Time to check out the cookbook then plan grocery shopping.
I also have to train some coaches this morning. Work is never done.
There's something my doctor said to me that made an impression. She said, "Don't be afraid to go to bed a little hungry". Over the past few weeks, I took that to heart. In the past, I have always eaten dinner until I was FULL, sometimes to discomfort. I was a dedicated member of the "clean your plate club". I even went so far as to clean everyone else's plate, too! I hated seeing other people's plates having food that just got thrown away. Now, though it still bothers me, I let that food get thrown away. At restaurants, I even leave food on my plate, too. Yes, it still bothers me, but I let it go. I either take it home if it's enough to make another meal, or leave it on the table. Now, every evening, I think about whether or not I'm a little hungry before going to bed. Weird.
