|Lt. Governor Simon to record holiday message for troops
|News Releases - Stage & Theatre
|Written by Kathryn Phillips
|Tuesday, 13 December 2011 09:33
Lt. Governor Sheila Simon will spread holiday cheer to service members this season, thanks to a new "digital care package" project launched by the Illinois Center for Broadcasting.
Simon will work with student broadcasters to record a holiday video during the school's first "man on the street" recording session at 4:15 p.m. Thursday across from the iconic Chicago Theater sign at State and Lake Streets in downtown Chicago.
The ICB is also taking appointments from military families and supporters who want to record a free message at their holiday studio between Thursday and December 16. The video messages will be distributed to military members stationed throughout the country and in Iraq and Afghanistan by the U.S. Army and Illinois National Guard.
"The selfless dedication of our service members should be recognized year-round, but the holidays are often more difficult for our troops overseas and away from their families," Simon said. "I encourage all that are able to send a warm greeting from home to our service members stationed across the world."
As chair of the state's Interagency Military Base Support and Economic Development Committee (IMBSEDC), Simon works to preserve military installations throughout the state and provide support for military members and their families.

Lindsay Lohan Tosses Taylor Momsen to the Floor
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
As if tweens needed another reason to swoon over Chace Crawford, he gave Taylor Swift a post-VMAs pep talk, telling her, "I'm so proud of you. Don't let anyone take your spotlight ever again." Swift claims he's "like an older-brother type," but we're skeptical. Crawford also partied with Dennis Quaid at the John Varvatos store Tuesday night, but the Village Voice's Michael Musto got stopped at the door. Lindsay Lohan refused to pose for photos at the G-Star runway show, then rearranged all the celebrity seating cards, even tossing her Fashion Week BFF Taylor Momsen's to the floor. When an event producer approached her, she muttered, "Don't [bleep]ing touch me." Yankee outfielder Nick Swisher stayed close to Gossip Girl's Joanna Garcia all evening at Bryant Park's QVC Style Party. Mischa Barton stumbled into the show's Bowery Hotel after-party with a posse of eight, slurring, "I'm here for the D.J." Five thousand copies of WWD spoof WWWWD have been floating around the Bryant Part tents, touting headlines like "Yigal Azrouël Spring/Summer 2010 Collection Looks Better After Third Drink." And a too-skinny model passed out at Jeffrey Chow's Poleci show, causing producers to swarm over her with cold Coca-Cola cans and fruit.
Megan Fox tells Rolling Stone that she's bisexual and used to cut herself, but she thinks that's pretty normal, and claims to be insecure about her appearance, noting, "I see what I look like, but there are things that I like and things that I dislike. My hair is good. The color of my eyes is good, obviously. I'm too short. But overall, I'm not super excited about the whole thing." Abercrombie is suing Beyoncé over the name of her new fragrance, Sasha Fierce, since they already have a men's cologne by the name of Fierce. Because everyone would mistake Beyoncé for a male Abercrombie model. Despite issuing an apology for blasting obscenities at the U.S. Open, Serena Williams isn't losing any sleep over her behavior and doesn't plan to change her ways anytime soon, commenting, "I'm still gonna grunt, I'm still gonna argue, and there's nothing wrong with that." Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. checked into rehab, and Burt Reynolds checked out after being treated for an addiction to painkillers. And regardless of his recent drunk-driving arrest, Charles Barkley decided to bartend after the Basketball Hall of Fame's reunion dinner last week.
Barbra Streisand supposedly rigged a "cute pet competition" so that one of her friends (and the breeder of her own dog) could snag the prize, two tickets to her September 26 concert. The cast and crew of the Sex and the City sequel are heading to Morocco after they wrap up shooting in NYC. Four Seasons co-owner Alex von Bidder is launching a children's guide to etiquette that he co-wrote with author Leslie McGuirk after meeting her on vacation in Mexico. Nicole Kidman sported a tight red minidress to a ladies' night out at Hotel Griffou. Jon Gosselin's lawyer is having a hissy fit over claims that Gosselin slept with his kids' nanny nine times while all eight kiddies were asleep. And not that anyone asked for a mental image of TomKat, but Tom Cruise gushed to Leno that sex with him was like flying, boasting, "I try to excel in all areas, and I've never been asked for a refund."

|Judiciary Exec: Gimmicks in President's Justice Dept. Budget
|News Releases - General Info
|Written by Grassley Press
|Monday, 20 February 2012 15:40
Prepared Opening Statement of Senator Chuck Grassley
Ranking Member, Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Executive Business Meeting
Thursday, February 16, 2012
Mr. Chairman,
We have a request to hold over the Hurwitz nomination. We can voice vote out the remaining nominees – Baker, Lee, Tharp and Russell.
Before we vote on the nominations, I'd like to say a few words about the release of the President's fiscal 2013 budget that was released earlier this week. Specifically, I want to talk about the Department of Justice budget which this committee has a distinct interest in reviewing.
The Justice Department budget, like the rest of the President's fiscal 2013 budget, is loaded full of budgetary gimmicks and sleight of hand.
While the budget claims to be nearly $1.8 billion below the fiscal 2012 appropriations, many of the savings achieved in this budget are one-time recessions from existing balances that remain in Justice Department accounts. These one-time recessions are more than just deceiving, they are actually harmful to the long-term viability of the federal government's budget.
For example, those who attended yesterday's hearing heard from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) about how the Justice Department has been carrying over a balance in the Bulletproof Vest Partnership program dating back as far as fiscal 1999. According to GAO, those funds include $27 million sitting in an account that could be deobligated and used to offset future appropriations. This is the same tactic being used by the department throughout the rest of its budget.
Now, using unspent or unallocated funds is a good thing—and the department shouldn't be carrying over significant balances—otherwise, we'll need to cut down future appropriations. However, this becomes a problem when these one-time recessions are used to offset base-line spending increases—as the department's fiscal 2013 budget does.
These one-time recessions are used to mask spending increases for a variety of Justice Department accounts. For instance, the Marshals Service has a net increase of $29 million, but it only appears to be a $12 million increase to the baseline when offset with $17 million in one-time recessions from construction and salary funds. The FBI appears to be reduced by $48 million, but in reality the FBI sees a net budget increase of $114 million, offset by a one-time recession of $162 million.
Same story with the Drug Enforcement Administration budget where they show a net increase of only $10 million, when in fact the baseline increase is $25 million offset by $15 million in recessions. The list goes on and on throughout the rest of the budget.
Perhaps the most concerning part of the department's budget is the fact that many of the spending increases will be paid for out of the Crime Victims Fund. This fund was created in 1984 by the Victims of Crime Act. It is financed by fines and penalties paid by convicted federal offenders, not from tax dollars. The funds in the account are to be used for victim's services and assistance.
For years, the fund has had an administrative cap placed on it by the Appropriations Committee. This arbitrary cap limits the amount of funds that go to help victims, creating an additional funding stream for appropriators to pay for programs they want to fund.
The fiscal 2013 budget does manage to increase this cap from $705 million, to just over $1 billion. This should be good news for victims, but it is not.
Instead of providing this money to victims, the department's budget, in the department's own words, "proposes to preserve important OVW and OJP grant programs that directly or indirectly assist victims of crime by funding them through [Crime Victims Fund] receipts…rather than with discretionary budget authority." So, instead of asking Congress to fund grant programs, the department is asking to use Crime Victims Fund money to pay for programs that "indirectly assist victims".
This is a significant change and one that allows the Justice Department to continue to increase funding for bureaucratic components like the Criminal Division, Civil Division, Tax Division, and law enforcement components like the FBI, DEA, and Marshals, while decreasing net expenditures.
What this does is essentially allow the Justice Department to increase the size of the bureaucracy, without looking like they're spending more money. Instead, the crime victims fund takes the hit.
This is not a budget that seeks to lead for the future. It is not a budget that faces the reality that the federal government is too big already. It is an election year ploy to say they are cutting the budget while using gimmicks to pay for it.
The only solace is that Majority Leader Reid has already signaled that he has no intention of bringing such a dead on arrival budget to the Senate floor.
So, keeping with the practice that the Senate Majority has followed for more than 1,000 days, we don't really need to worry about voting for the gimmicks in the department's budget. However, we'll need to keep an eye out so that these gimmicks don't find their way into an appropriations bill.
Thank you.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi
With the current state of economic affairs, it's not surprising that the business world has adopted a shrewd profit margin and bottom line approach to business. If it doesn't make money, it doesn't work and gets tossed away for a newer, better concept. Corporate America has created such a distance between itself and the consumer that we often wonder whose interest is actually being served and protected. Even in smaller business venues, such as the home-based business arena, we are seeing signs of a similar attitude.
Many of us are trying so hard to make money - and make it fast - that we are not concerned with the financial state of anyone else. Dog-Eat-Dog. Separation. Limitation. This is how we were raised. This is what we have been taught in schools across the nation. This notion has been so ingrained in us that it seems ludicrous to even consider how helping another person become financially secure and wealthy is the smartest and fastest way to ensure our own wealth.
The truth is, helping others get what they want does help you get what you want - tenfold!
The natural laws of the universe supports this very concept: Give away to another that which you wish to have for yourself. This speaks volumes to the wondrous and abundant universe that we live in. This simple yet profound act says: "I have that which I seek" (faith), and "I want others to have the same" (love), which activates more of the same in your life experience.
You get what you give!
There are so many who feel that it is necessary to hoard wealth and are afraid to share it or allow it to circulate and flow in their lives. Instead, they squander and horde wealth, which we feel sends an opposite message to the universe: "I feel lack and there is not enough to go around. I want it all for myself." This creates more lack, limitation, and fear of loss, and in turn attracts more of the same, which makes the experience seem more real as they are in a constant fight to beat everyone else. Often times these people feel lost; these people feel afraid; we actually want the same things, we all do, and want to find the way to a freer existence.
The power for positive change lies within the individual.
We are abundant by nature. I am, YOU are, someone like Microsoft's Bill Gates is, and even a homeless person living on the street. Nothing is intrinsically different between you and me; at our core we are ALL ONE, we come from the same source. The only difference between us is the way we think, the actions we take daily and the individual vibration we activate and carry with us. Take a moment to listen! What is your inner voice saying to you? Is that voice empowering you? Or is that voice hurting you?
The good news is YOU have the power to change! We all do! And the power to change lies WITHIN every single person on this planet.
It is time travel to the EDGE of what we feel is real or possible... we need to faithfully JUMP - AND FLY!
We intend to EMPOWER you with ever-evolving, high-end, high-quality, state-of-the-art, result-producing tools, which are not commonly found in the home-based business arena.
But most importantly, we wish to EMPOWER you by example.
We intend to shine a light into this world where a light has never shone before. This is Business with Heart. This is business with love and care for our fellow human beings.
It's an existence of giving, sharing and helping each other succeed!
"It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest
by helping others to succeed." ~ Napoleon Hill
A new way of business is emerging in our world, and we at Flying Man Productions / Enagic® Web System are dedicated to being the change and bringing a new light into the lives of many.
You too can create a life experience of wealth, abundance, success, and joy while developing a deep-rooted and peaceful state of being. We want this for you, we want this for us, and we want this for our world.
Begin with us and we will set the example. Believe in yourself

Rangers 5, Avalanche 1: Wrapping up
For the most part, the Rangers did exactly what they wanted to in a 5-1 win over the Avalanche Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Rangers had not played since Friday. The Avalanche were playing on back to back nights and for the third time in four days. So the Rangers applied relentless pressure from the start and maintained it through almost all of the game, except for a second-period stretch. In short, the Rangers best defense against a speed skating, transitional team such as the Avalanche was to play keepaway.
"We had a real strong start," coach Alain Vigneault said. "Obviously, we were meeting a team that was tied and we were fresh. But we came out the way I thought we needed to come out and that was a determining factor tonight. The other two determining factors, in my opinion, were, at 2-1, we came right back and made it 3-1 and we killed off that full five-on-three where Hank (Lundqvist) made some unreal saves. Those were probably the three biest points of tonight's game."
The Rangers outshot the Avalanche, 20-4, in the first period and took a 2-0 lead on two goals from Ryan Callahan, who wore the celebratory Broadway Hat after the game. More on him below the fold but, with Callahan, it's moments like tonight when it's almost impossible to imagine Callahan not being with the Rangers. But the reality is business is going to supersede the heartstrings and Callahan's two-goal performance could still wind up being one of the final great moments in his tenure as a Ranger. Callahan acknowledged after the game the easiest part of his life right now is the 60 minutes he gets to spend on the ice during a game. He also said his very public contract negotiations are both motivation for him and something he wants to block out.
He certainly played an inspired hockey game Tuesday night, with his first three-point performance of the season. But he was just one of a group tonight.
"I liked the fact that we were pushing the pace and playing fast," Vigneault said. "We created 11 or 12 scoring chances, which is real good, to their one. We were able to score two goals, so that was a big way to start."

lazygal is another static web gallery generator written in Python.
It can be summed up by the following features :
- Command line based (thus scriptable).
- Reusable engine (to make a GUI for instance).
- Lazy : do not build what's already there. There is still stuff to do in this area (especially regarding directory and templates modification time), but lazygal is already quite lazy.
- Recursive : generates subgalleries.
- Does not change your original pictures directories (the source argument).
- Tells you what should not be in your generated directories (and delete it if you want to).
- Can generate multiple sizes to browse pictures according to your screen.
- Sort pictures in the same directory by EXIF date if available, else file modification time.
- Theming.
- XHTML and CSS compliance for provided themes.
- Support for album meta data.
You can find more information about Lazygal at its website: <http://sousmonlit.dyndns.org/~niol/playa/oss/projects/lazygal>
In addition to command line, you can specify parameters in configuration files. Configuration files are looked up as follows, the next taking precedence for already declared variables over the previous :
- Lazygals's defaults.
- ~/.lazygal/config
- %SOURCE_DIR/.lazygal
- command line.
Example configuration file :
[lazygal] theme = image-index clean-destination = Yes image-size = medium=1024x685,small=640x428 thumbnail-size = 150x100 quality = 90
Additionally you can define template variables in special section [template-vars], for example:
[template-vars] lnkcolor = #e0e0e0 bgcolor = #202020 txtcolor = #d0d0d0 lnkdecoration = underline
In this example, those are made available in the templates as $lnkcolor, $bgcolor, $txtcolor and $lnkdecoration .
Those template variables may also be set on the command line using the --template-vars option.
Specifying album meta data
Each album can have defined some meta data such as name, description and image shown on listing (note that not all themes use all of these).
Currently only supported format is borrowed from another album generating tool - Matew. To add such metadata, create file album_description in folder where you want to add metadata. Each line is treated as one possible tag, unknown lines are simply ignored. Example content of this file follow, I hope it is self explaining:
Album name "My album" Album description "Description, which can be very long." Album image identifier relative/path/to/image.jpg
# vim: et ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 tw=72 spell spelllang=en_us

I'm a Research Fellow at QUT in Brisbane, Australia. I work with the People and Systems Lab on various projects. In the broadest sense, what I do can be described as Design Research.
My background is in what people call "IT" though I have spend most of my time thinking about Human-Computer Interaction, or how people use technology in their work and life. My PhD was about the lived experience of people who use large vocabulary speech recognition systems in the workplace.
My research expertise is in conducting studies of people doing stuff with things (or, if you like things with stuff) and then analysing that situated activity to learn something interesting about people and designed objects. This type of research can take place in a controlled environment but more often takes place in the places where people naturally are.
You can contact me by email at: email@example.com. Obviously, if you email me at that address it is possible that the email will disappear into a spam trap by mistake. If you're particularly motivated you can look me up in the QUT Staff directory.
I maintain a tumblelog about things that are interesting. I take photos. I tweet. I blog about cars that are (usually) brown. I am an avid hat wearer.

Due date: 04/28/13
I have a 12 day old son named Abram Christopher. For some reason I'm already planning future children's names. Silly, I know, but the name Roman has been in sticking in my mind. What do you think? Do Abram and Roman go well together? (I'm thinking of Roman after The Book of Romans in the Bible.)

Ayurveda and Weight Loss
To create a daily parade of joy throughout your body, while losing weight, improving your skin, energy and concentration try this 5,000 year-old Indian way of life.
Now here's something to think about, 90 percent of serotonin, the primary ingredient of anti-depressants, is naturally created in your gut.
Not in your brain, it's in your intestines. Serotonin is then transformed by your liver into happiness cells that are carried on a parade of joy through your body. But your gut is only happy when you're feeding it the right food.
Because most of us don't think before we put food in our mouth, we've created a roaring industry for drug makers. It is estimated that every American spends around $500 a year on laxatives and fiber supplements. I can think of many more fun ways to spend $500, than on, er, feces.
And that's before we add the billions spent on mood stabilizing meds. Many of our stomach problems start with us taking too many prescription tablets in the first place; constipation is a well-known side effect.
To create a daily parade of joy throughout your body, while losing weight, improving your skin, energy and concentration try Ayurveda. It is a 5,000 year-old Indian way of life practiced by modern sages like Deepak Chopra.
According to Ayurveda we have three doshas or personality types. If we eat according to our dosha we lose weight, get energy, and become happier. Vata personalities are energetic, have a small build, dry skin, and are light sleepers. Pitta have sharp minds and sometimes a temper. Kapha people tend to be heavier in build, have soft, oily skin and thick hair; this is the dosha happiest in front of the television.
If your dosha is unbalanced then a Kapha will gain weight, feel slow, and congested. A Vata imbalance sees indigestion, bloating and wind, while Pitta has heartburn, gastritis and diarrhea.
To practice Ayurveda you need to eat the right foods for your personality type, for example, Vata should mostly eat hot foods, while fiery Pitta's should eat cooling foods. Spices are good for gentle Kapha.
And you need sufficient sleep; lights out by 10 pm and awake by 6 am. Enough sleep is essential for weight loss.
Before you clean your teeth, scrape your tongue with a special metal scraper, and rinse your nostrils with salt water from a Neti pot. The tongue scraper helps reduce addictions, and cleaning your nostrils helps reduce infections, it is particularly good for asthmatics.
After a shower and before bed, oil your body (sesame is best).
The first drink of the day is hot water with lemon to wake up fat-burning enzymes. If you're puffy boil a handful of pearl barley in a quart of water until soft. Drain – keeping the water – to which you add honey and lemon before drinking. The barley can be added to your meals.

text: Moore, editor and independent scholar, informs readers that the first "real" novel--written by Xenophon of Athens in the fourth century B.C.E. and entitled Cyropaedia (The Education of Cyrus)--has a reputation for being "uncommonly dull." Moore detests "dull," so he explains that Xenophon was actually "feeling his way to a new form." In this gargantuan volume, Moore's primary goal is to provide a complete history of the novel from its beginnings to the year 1600, giving special attention to "innovative, unconventional" works, while his secondary goal is to respond to literary critics who attack writers for following "the dictates of art rather than those of entertainment." Moore identifies and discusses novels from the ancient, medieval, Renaissance, Eastern, and Far Eastern worlds. He writes authoritatively and enthusiastically about "the various forms and permutations of the novel" and seeks to "demonstrate the genre's age and infinite variety." His observations include the following: Giovanni Boccaccio's Elegy of Lady Fiammetta is his most daring literary experiment, The Perfect Generosity of Prince Vessantara qualifies as the first Buddhist novel, and Luo Guanzhong's Three Kingdoms deserves to be ranked among the greatest novels ever written. VERDICT Moore is serious in his effort to produce a useful work for the general reader. Recommended especially for literature students as well as curious laypersons seeking information and entertainment.--Kathryn R. Bartelt, Univ. of Evansville Libs., IN[Page 102].

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Ballast Inc., (OTC BB: GBLL) announced today that State Systems Inc., a privately owned total protection company based in Memphis, Tenn., has installed Green Ballast's patented daylight harvesting fluorescent light ballasts in their corporate headquarters and warehouse facility.

But before I start looking for a specialized saddle, I wanted to get your opinions. Is this Brooks a good saddle? Are there other good ones out there that you would recommend. Please let me know.

Click Here For All of Techland's Avatar Coverage
What follows is a minimally edited cut-and-paste of an e-mail exchange between the Techland staffers the morning after we saw Avatar.
Lev Grossman: Here's my master theory about Avatar. Which I said last night. This is Cameron remaking Aliens from the aliens' point of view. He even has a big boss battle against the bad guy in powered armor, like Ripley at the end of Aliens, except backwards. Maybe for Alien 5 he'll merge the franchises. Sully can sync w/ the Alien queen and they'll take down Weyland-Yutani together.
Peter Ha: Honestly, I didn't think the story was all that great. It was basically Dances With Wolves. The Sky People come in with guns blazing to take whatever it is that they want and the natives fight back. But the visuals were so mind blowingly awesome. Everything about Pandora looked so frakkin real. Oh, and there were tons of blue side boob.
LG: Seriously. I kept expecting Zoe Saldana to look at me out of the screen and say hello? My eyes are up here?
PH: I totally thought she was naked in that one scene with the tree.
Steve Snyder: She could seriously be nominated for an Oscar here you guys realize – wouldn't that be the very first Oscar-nominated, entirely-CG performance? Just like we were all complaining about, in terms of Gollum a couple years back? (Read Techland's Avatar Review)
What blew me away about this whole thing is that it took us two solid hours to get to any explosions, and I actually preferred the first two hours to the rest. You know what I mean? The focus here, unlike most sci-fi movies nowadays, wasn't on blowing up stuff real good, but on creating a world we could get lost in. I think that's sort of profound, actually – that Cameron was more interested in creating an immersive experience. The battles were even sort of restrained….
LG: I think we can look forward to some really detailed freeze-frame analysis on the Web. But I guess it's a tribute to the success of the FX that the blue boobs were hot. The uncanny valley is over. Those blue dudes looked real. I see them.
Allie Townsend (the intern, and lone female in the conversation): "I see you."
PH: Hahahahhahaha. Amazing.
AT: It's always all about the boobs. Sigh.
I liked the plot, overall. I loved the whimsical Na'vi history and connection to nature. I think the way they explained Pandora as running as a complex network of energy was fascinating. What I thought was weak was the reason humans had invaded in the first place. There was zero explanation of Unobtainium. What was so great about it?
PH: Good point, Allie. They definitely skimmed over a few things. But you all see my point about this being a Native American thing, right? They're all about the land and their connection to it.
LG: I'd be connected to the land too if the whole world was some kind of botanical Internet. That I could plug my hair into.
I think the Earth has run out of oil, and it's some kind of super-coal? Or something? Yeah, blink and you missed that part.
More on Time.com: Q&A With James Cameron
PH: The Home Tree battle was definitely understated. The Sky People did what they had to do and that was it. Although, the douche in charge seemed like the type to just blow everything up for the hell of it.
What's this about Oscars?
SS: Given the romance at play here, and that it's not just a fanboy dream, I think "Avatar" has a serious shot at the awards race, don't you….
LG: I can't tell if you guys are joking about the combat being restrained. A dragon grabbed a helicopter and used it to beat another helicopter out of the sky.
But yeah, the romance. I gotta admit, it was pretty convincing. I hereby release Sam Worthington from movie jail for his part Terminator 4.
AT: As far as awards go, I bet your assumptions are correct, HOWEVER that end credits song was no "My Heart Will Go On," though I did get some major ship-breaks-in-half-sinks-into-the-ocean flashbacks during the battle for Home Tree. Anyone else?
LG: Cameron should get every FX Oscar there is, this year and in all future years, forever.
About the tree, I think one of the marines in the movie expressed my thoughts best: "That's one big tree."
I was also wondering if it was a reference to Agent Orange. And I was thinking, gosh, if the planet's a network, you gotta figure it's plenty redundant. I mean, if one root name server goes down, the whole Internet doesn't crash.
SS: These battle sequences, at least the ones involving the Na'vi, ended way before I thought they would. I think the ads are making this look like intergalactic warfare, and it takes a long, long time to even get to the first shot being fired. There's more going on here than an action-fest…something that I think is far more impressive, actually. Just like "Titanic" – if you can go back to a time before it made a gazillion dollars and we all hated it – was about more than a boat sinking, "Avatar" is about a WHOLE LOT more than two species going to war.
LG: If you wanna talk about what Avatar was about, I thought the movie had more subtle things to say about moviemaking than it did about the environment. We get it, killing plants is bad. But the whole idea of the avatar, putting yourself in someone else's body, immersing yourself in another world, is one big metaphor for watching movies. And the thing about watching a movie is, you don't want it to end. You want to go live there forever.
AT: I'm actually moving tomorrow…
Another praise for Cameron's moviemaking: His female characters kicked all sorts of ass. Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez and Zoe Saldana were fantastic. Action writers/producers/directors could learn so much from Cameron's style. (I'm talking to you, Michael Bay.)
LG: I'm just wondering if there's going to be backlash from Native Americans or other minority groups though, re: the many cliches of "exotic indigenous peoples" Cameron uses. Tribal drummin', face paintin', nose piercin', earth lovin', etc. Not to go all Edward Said here, but it's pretty boilerplate orientalism.
More on Techland: Avatar, First Look: Why This Geek Hopes Pandora is the Future of Movies
SS: They are definitely the "other," and there's a level of fetishism here to be sure. But in the way Cameron plays it all out, allowing us to experience their way of life and learn to love it more than the drab habitats housing the humans on Pandora – I think he goes a long way towards celebrating them, rather than gawking at them. Does this make any sense? I would have failed anthropology in college for sure –
LG: Yeah, but perpetuating stereotypes, even positive ones, is still totally damaging. It's like saying Asian kids are good at math. Still not cool.
Whatever. Back to blue boobs. Actually my favorite part is the first time Jake gets dressed up in Na'vi (what does that apostrophe even mean?) clothes, thong included, and you see him try to pick a wedgie. Nice touch.
SS: Lots of nice touches, actually, when it comes to him becoming a member of the Na'vi. I love that he still talks and thinks like a marine in the early moments. He's crass and gruff. He doesn't assimilate easily – which I think is a mistake that many other films might make, in making him a member of the clan. He gradually falls in love with this world, and its people, and for me it really worked. The movie never felt overdone, nor rushed….the pacing helped a lot….
AT: I think you're right about the stereotyping, but like was said last night, it also had a lot things to say about imperialism. I think the tribal characteristics are used as a device to really polarize the sides of the argument. Let's face it, if the Na'vi had been speeding around in futuristic taxis, chain smoking and littering they could have been bought, making Cameron's plot unfeasible. (Sidenote: To me, the romance had a very Disney's Pocahontas feel to it) But I think the message, overall was very positive. I think the Na'vi were depicted in this way because it is so contradictory to the American mindset. If you think about the ultimate battle when it comes to "Americanization," it's Cowboys vs. Indians. We've been playing it for years, and it doesn't surprise me that Cameron took this route.
PH: Like I said before, I didn't think the story was anything special. The FX were batshitf**kingcrazy. And this is totally Cowboys vs. Indians.
LG: Probably we should think about wrapping this up and putting it up.
PH: Yeah, I'm done. Blue boobs. Dances With Wolves.

Tower of Mzark

|Tower of Mzark
|The Pale
|South of Dawnstar
|Discerning the Transmundane
Elder Knowledge
Tower of Mzark is an ancient Dwemer ruin located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.The Tower of Mzark is an ancient Dwemer tower and lift that connects to Blackreach. The iron gate on the surface is initially locked, however, it can be opened from the other side by pulling the lever next to it. The quests, "Elder Knowledge" and "Discerning the Transmundane" concurrently unfold here.
Accessing the tower
To reach the other side, Blackreach must first be traversed. The only way to do this is to have started the quest, "Discerning the Transmundane" Septimus Signus' Attunement Sphere is required to open a door to Blackreach.
From Blackreach, the Tower of Mzark can be accessed; the lift up to the surface can be ridden to the top, where the gate is opened. After, the lift can be entered from the outside anytime the tower is traveled to.
"Elder Knowledge"
The Elder Scroll needed to learn Dragonrend is found inside the Tower's main rooms. This room houses an oculory that holds the Elder Scroll. It can only be accessed by using a Lexicon obtained from Septimus Signus for the quest, "Discerning the Transmundane".
Puzzle clue
There is a named, inanimate skeleton named Drokt lying in the tower, with a journal that provides a clue to the puzzle.

DEARBORN - Lincoln February sales are up 36 percent from this point last year, selling 6,661 vehicles in the year's shortest month. This also is the fifth straight month of positive sales growth; with four out of five in the double digits.
The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid enjoyed its second best sales month ever, selling 919 units. The best month ever for MKZ Hybrid was August 2010 when 998 vehicles were sold.
U.S. Sales Analyst Erich Merkle said that a year of new product launches should help the brand continue on its path to growth in 2014. "The Lincoln MKC is launching this summer in the industry's fastest growing segment, the small premium utility vehicle market," said Merkle.
Other products, like the Lincoln Navigator launching this fall will offer drivers a better powertrain with the addition the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine that delivers more horsepower, fuel economy and torque.
"Don't underestimate what EcoBoost can do for the Navigator. It will provide better performance, lighter weight and with Lincoln Drive Control and continuously controlled damping the new Navigator will have more improved handling characteristics," said Merkle.
Outside of metro Detroit, the highest-selling Lincoln MKZ markets have been New York City following by Orlando and Miami.
"While the brand is showing encouraging results, the company recognizes there is much more work to be done. Lincoln's progress is going to be measured over a period of years," said Merkle.

I always thought that you only got free tapas with a drink in Granada, Jaen and Almeria provinces in Andalucia. I then recently discovered that there are quite a few bars in Madrid that give you a free tapa/pincho with a drink as well.
I've now found another part of Spain that does free tapas - Caceres in Extremadura. I was up there last weekend for the WOMAD festival.
The tapas was fairly basic run of the mill stuff like tortilla, Russian salad, cheese and bread etc... It was all pretty good stuff though. The paid for tapas/raciones were even better though.
Caceres is well worth s visit. The old town is stunning. According to Wikipedia:
Cáceres was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO in 1986 because of the city's blend of Roman, Moorish, Northern Gothic and Italian Renaissance architecture.
Here are some photos I took of the medieval part of town:

No brotherly love allowed in Lily's world
My 6-year-old daughter is extremely jealous of anyone else I show affection to, outside the family.
She quizzes me relentlessly about how much I love the person -- often a friend of hers I gave a hug to, or was nice to. So I told her that "God says we should love everyone.''
Her response was, "Well, I don't.''
Ever since then she is constantly checking the level of mommy's Love for Complete Strangers. It's a concept she cannot accept.
I took her to T.Y. Park in Hollywood Saturday for her birthday. She wanted to know if I loved everyone there at the park that day, and if so, how much, compared to my love for her.
I've tried to explain the concept of loving people as friends, but she doesn't understand it. Ditto for the idea that people are capable of infinite amounts of love, and giving my love to someone else does not require subtracting any from her.
Still, my rule of thumb is if your child is seeking affirmation of your love, you give it, even if it's wrapped in an annoying interrogation where you are the Betrayer for calling another child "Sweetie.''
I'm beginning to conclude, though, that some people are born with insecurities and they're not all the product of experience, as I had once thought.
Yesterday she even found herself struggling over the idea that before she was born, I did not love her! This is an idea she came up with, of course.
And she was talking it out with me, trying to come to grips with a world in which her older brother, Creed, was the sole object of momma's affection.
"But you didn't even exist, Lily!'' I told her in my own defense.
She frowned and I could see her trying to accept this explanation. She's probably still mulling it over.

Establishing an On-Line Recertification Course for WSSA Lesson Modules on Herbicide Resistant Weeds 2012
Download the entire report in pdf format, 70k
Project Leaders: Russell R. Hahn, Crop and Soil Sciences, Cornell University, and Mary E. McKellar, Crop and Soil Sciences, Cornell University
Cooperator: Ronald D. Gardner, Pesticide Management Education Program, Cornelll University
There is ongoing concern about the increasing number of herbicide resistant weed biotypes. As a result, the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) developed five lesson modules on herbicide resistant weeds. This project provides New York Certified Pesticide Applicators the opportunity to enhance their knowledge about herbicide resistance, and about the advantages of utilizing integrated approaches to weed management while earning recertification credits. Ten pre- and post- test questions were written for each of the five WSSA lesson modules. Once the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) approves these lesson modules and test questions, they will be available to applicators through the Cornell On-Line Recertification system managed by the Pesticide Management Education Program (PMEP).

07-28-08 -- University of Oklahoma defensive end Auston English is out indefinitely after having his appendix removed.
OU spokesman Kenny Mossman says English had emergency surgery last weekend in Norman and is expected to fully recover.
Mossman says he doesn't know when English will start practice but says he expects him to play in the season opener Aug. 30 against Tennessee-Chattanooga.
English was named preseason Big 12 defensive player of the year last week and is on the watch list for the Ted Hendricks Award given to the nation's top defensive end.
He was All-Big 12 last season after leading the conference with 9.5 quarterback sacks despite missing more than three games because of a broken bone in his leg.

Jade Holder, 19, died after being attacked in the Augusta Youth Development Campus. (WRDW-TV / Nov. 9, 2011)
Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The hearing for a 16-year-old inmate at the Augusta Youth Development Campus has been put on hold.
The juvenile is accused of beating a fellow inmate at the YDC back in December.
The inmate will have to get a psychological evaluation first. The plan is to get the evaluation completed and back on the trial calendar within three weeks. The case will be moved to a superior court.
A 15-year-old male inmate was injured in the fight and sent to the hospital.
After the fight, the YDC was put on lockdown and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called in to investigate.
This isn't the first time the YDC has been in the spotlight. The beating death of 19-year-old inmate Jade Holder in 2011 prompted the firing of facility director John Brady. Ronald Brawner was then named director but was fired in October after five inmates escaped from the facility. Interim Director Melvin Womble was fired after the most recent assault in December.

A shortage in human blood donations is a serious and life-threatening issue that plagues developing countries, battlefields and healthcare facilities alike. Professor Elmer's research is focused on finding a universal donor "blood substitute" that is safe, stable at room temperature for long periods of time, and is an effective oxygen carrier. He can also speak to the development of novel vehicles for gene delivery within the human body to treat cancer.

Battlefield 3 Trailer Showcases Battlelog, a Social Network for BF3 Players
With the Battlefield 3 beta now open to all, gamers are finally getting a chance to see if the game can live up to the massive hype. There were more than a few complaints about bugs in the game, but it is a beta, so bugs are to be expected. What might anger players more is the new Battlelog feature. Dice is calling it a "social network" for Battlefield 3 players. But it will also be the only way to launch the game for PC players. Dice claims that moving the server browser to the web will cut down on wait time, but that remains to be seen. Take a look at this trailer and judge for yourself whether the new social network is worth having.

City loosens purse strings on relief money
Rec Center repairs and local grants get first slice of funding
Many residents gathered at the beach two months ago to see actor Billy Crystal present a giant check to the city for its Long Beach Relief Fund. Since then, many have wondered how that money would be used.
The City Council approved the use of the first chunk of money from the fund at last week's meeting: $200,000 for Recreation Center repairs that aren't covered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Additionally, the city will set aside $100,000 for grants for community organizations as they continue their recovery efforts.
The city established the relief fund shortly after Hurricane Sandy, as a way to accept donations. In June, Crystal donated $1 million to the fund — $888,000 he raised with celebrity friends plus $112,000 from Crystal and his wife, Janice. The fund's balance is now $1.4 million.
From the beginning, it was decided that before any of the money was used, proposals would be voted on by the City Council.
At the meeting, City Manager Jack Schnirman explained that the city sought to use the funds to help rebuild the Recreation Center, since the cost of many items needed to restore the facility is not reimbursable by FEMA. The money will fund the replacement of lockers and benches, a new liner for the pool and new tile for the pool deck, among other upgrades.
"If our residents had to endure having their facilities closed for quite a substantial period of time, the least we could do is use a little bit of our relief funds in order to make them better than they were before," said Schnirman.
The city decided to direct aside some of the funds to community organizations to help them "resiliently repair, restore and rebuild." The city posted the application for such grants on its website earlier this week. The deadline for applications in Oct. 4, and an organization may submit only one application.
There were chuckles among the audience when Councilman John McLaughlin asked whether the funding process would be easier than NY Rising, the state's Sandy grant program, which many residents have denounced as too slow and complicated.
Schnirman assured McLaughlin that the application was easily accessible, simple and short. It asks only for basic information about an organization, whether it has received any other grants in the past two years and what it plans to use the grant for.

Hatha Yoga Therapy Asanas
Back Bending Asanas
Back Bending Asanas allows us to face the outside world and open our heart and body to embrace others. They are extroverting and invigorating for the body, mind and our consciousness. They expand the chest and encourage inhalation. They are dynamic asanas which moves our body opposite to gravity thereby requires more energy and strength to perform.
The back bending asanas tones the spinal and abdominal muscles thus creates a dynamic equilibrium between the two groups of muscles while twisting, extension and bending. The abdominal and back muscles are toned and strengthened and provides more flexibility to the spine and lower portions of the body like pelvis and hip joints. The spinal nerves are decompressed. As the spinal nerves provide functional ability to all other nerves reaching the major organs and muscles of the body, it speaks a lot about why healthy spine is so crucial for our overall state of physical and mental health.
The spinal column is a stacked pile of vertebrae and discs. Maintenance of the spine in a straight line and in an aligned position depends entirely on the supportive contraction and tone of the muscles working in balance and integration with each other. The muscles themselves controlled unconsciously through the posture. Tension and strain in the activity of the back muscles results in 90% of the back problems which is nothing but the imbalance in the activity of the back muscles. If these imbalances are prolonged and left untreated then these imbalances can result in misaligned vertebral column. It results in straining ligaments and symptoms of spondylitis, slipped disc, sciatica, and osteoarthritis manifest with time.
The practice of balanced sequences of backward bending and forward bending asanas can correct postural defects and neuro muscular imbalances of the vertebral column. It's very important to perform all these asanas with proper control and synchronization with the breath and body movements to achieve desired and uniform contractions as anything more or less would result in injuries.
Normally, impure blood stagnates in the lower back region due to sluggish circulation in that region and more often due to continuous upright position people keep while sitting in office or working on the desk on computer. These back bending asanas help in maintaining the circulation and remove the stagnant impure blood from that region, replacing it with new fresh oxygenated blood which not only tones the back muscles but also improves their normal function. They create a negative pressure in the abdomen and pelvis, helping to massage and tone all the related organs.
People with excessive lower back ache and Lumbar curve (Lumbar lordosis) should not practice these asanas except saral bhujangasana, easier variation of Gomukhasana and ardha shalambhasana. The intense backbends like ustrasana, dhanurasana and urdhva dhanurasana should be completely avoided initially. They can be performed only by people with healthy and flexible spine as it requires much energy, strength and muscle coordination to perform them. These asanas are not recommended during pregnancy as they are weight bearing asanas on the abdomen.
Finally the back bending asanas must be a part of your daily Yoga Asanas regime and schedule. Ignoring back bending asanas and focusing too much on forward bendings, inversions and standing asanas would not be a good balanced holistic approach. Most importantly, forward bending asanas should either precede or follow the back bending asanas to maintain the dynamic equilibrium of the spine.
Only with healthy spine, the healthy body can exist.
