'Cathy' creator honored her comic strip hangs in 'world's most important museum' — the refrigerator
Here are excerpts from a Q&A with Cathy Guisewite, creator of the comic strip that bears her first name.
Q: Why have you decided to retire Cathy now?
CG: I've loved doing the "Cathy" comic strip and feel so honored to have had my space in so many papers for so long. This career has been a miracle. It let me turn every anxiety into art, be paid for it and connect in such a deep way with millions of other women.
But after almost 34 years of meeting newspaper deadlines, I'm facing personal deadlines that are simply exceeding my ability to procrastinate any longer: a daughter who's starting her last year of high school, who I want to be able to be there for completely while I still get a teeny vote... beloved parents I want to visit more often... and a biological clock that's hitting 60 and panicking about doing everything else in life I haven't had time to do yet.
Q: How did the strip come about?
CG: My career is the triumph of the pushy mother.
In 1976, at the height of the women's movement, I was feeling the full confusion of succeeding at the "new" dream of having a fabulous career in advertising but failing at the "old" dream of having a relationship. I send little stick-figure sum-ups of my frustrations home with letters to my parents.
My mother — who'd said everything I touched since birth was "good enough to be published" — insisted these new scribbles could be the start of a comic strip. When I refused, she marched to the library, researched comic strip syndicates and typed a list of who I should approach. It was only when she finally threatened to send the work herself with a "cover note from Mom" that I sent a package to Universal Press Syndicate, the company at the top of her list.
Instead of the rejection letter I was planning on, they sent me a contract. They said they loved the emotional honesty of my submission, and that they were confident I'd learn how to draw if I had to do it 365 days a year.
Q: When you started, could you imagine Cathy becoming such a huge hit?
CG: The first day that "Cathy" ran, I spent most of the day hiding in the ladies room of the advertising agency in Detroit where I worked praying that no one would read the newspaper. Even though I'd been frantically working on learning how to write and draw a comic strip every night and weekend for seven months, I hadn't told anyone except my immediate family that I was doing it.
The first strips were so personal and vulnerable at a time when women were celebrating such new confidence and empowerment. I thought I was the only woman in the world who came home from a day in her brilliant career and ate a pint of ice cream because Mr. Wrong didn't call.
I couldn't believe I'd ever shown my drawings to anyone, let alone that they were being published. Couldn't imagine that anyone felt the same way. Could never, ever, have comprehended that "Cathy" would have so many biologically unrelated, deeply connected "sisters."
Q: How much of the strip throughout the years has been autobiographical?
CG: Pretty much, the more humiliating the admission, the more autobiographical it was.
The seven different sizes of jeans in one closet... the three-year, $75/month membership to the gym that I went to twice... the begging my mother to return the delusional New Year's Eve outfit because I couldn't face the saleslady again: all me. The visions of total organization, efficiency and clarity: not so much.
I didn't want to call the strip "Cathy" because I wanted to at least get to pretend I wasn't writing about myself. Universal Press thought that people would relate to it more personally if they saw the main character and I shared a name. In keeping with the complete lack of decision-making skills that fueled my whole career, the strip stayed "Cathy" because I couldn't decide on another name in time.
Q: How do you go about creating the strip on a daily basis? What is your creative process like?
CG: My creative process has almost always started with me dumping my purse out on my desk, praying I'd written some partial joke on a fat-free energy bar wrapper, and concluded with my deadline just hours away and me desperately calling my sister, Mickey, to ask if she thought any other woman ever experienced what I was writing about or if it was just something women in our family did. Mickey's the only person on earth I ever tried strips out on before they were published.
I've never once had that experience of just being out and about and having fabulous ideas flood into my brain. I can only write if I'm sitting in a room completely alone with my phone set to speed-dial my sister.
Q: Who are your influences?
CG: I never would have created "Cathy" if I hadn't grown up reading "Peanuts." It never would have occurred to me to work out my anxieties and insecurities in four little illustrated boxes. Charles Schulz not only opened the door for my whole career, but saved me thousands and thousands of dollars in therapy.
Q: What has been your favorite part of doing the strip?
CG: I've loved creating something that helps women feel they're not alone.
I've loved creating something that men will never completely understand.
I've loved getting to connect with women where we live and aren't usually seen: weeping on the floor of the swimsuit dressing room ... planted in front of the freezer at 2 a.m.... stuck behind the desk in the fabulous powersuit we couldn't zip after lunch... standing in the ladies room rehearsing "date" conversations or trying to blow-dry the part of the outfit that just fell in the toilet... and that secret special place in our brains that we go to where we can believe, just for a little bit, that the right new pair of sparkly, stiletto sandals will fix everything.
Q: In what ways have you seen the strip impact others?
CG: I'm extremely proud that my work's been hung on the world's most important museum: the refrigerator door. It doesn't get anymore significant than to be displayed that close to someone's food.
My favorite letters have been from mother/daughter teams who have written to tell me the strip has helped keep them speaking to each other. My own mother, incredibly, still cuts out my strip and sends it to me with little notes saying, "See? We're not the only ones."
Besides the fact that I work alone, I'm a really solitary person by nature. Except for family, I go huge stretches of time without seeing or talking to anyone. When I have gone to book signings or given speeches, it's been incredibly moving to me to meet, and feel an instant connection with, women who have followed my work.
I've had women hug me with tears rolling down their faces and tell me how reading the strip helped them through horrible, lonely times in the exact same way that writing the strip helped me. The women who have shared that with me have changed my life. I've gone home so inspired... and then, of course, so utterly panicked that I'll never be able to create anything else that will live up to the high regard these beautiful women have of me.
Q: What are your favorite "Cathy" storylines, and why are they your favorites?
CG: I've loved getting to scream for all women at the swimwear designers... to defend our need to have 15 virtually identical but completely different pairs of black shoes... to question the male brain's ability to remember every play of a football game twelve years ago, yet forget that Valentine's Day is on Feb. 14... to explain concepts: Why chocolate eaten directly from the freezer has fewer calories because of the extra energy the body expends trying to not rip the fillings out while eating it. Why a salad with 8 ounces of ham and cheese and 2 cups of croutons has 500 fewer mental calories than a sandwich.
I've loved celebrating the giant tangle of mothers and daughters.
I've been criticized sometimes for reinforcing negative stereotypes of women by writing so much about weight and shopping, but to me these subjects are a rich microcosm of the extra pressures and expectations that women live with every second of the day. Now, with so many powerful, positive role models, they're also a microcosm of the feelings of isolation women feel when we try to live up to 10 images at once and can't. In what universe would men one second of life trying to squash themselves into "sexy workout wear"?
Q: Can you offer any insight as to how the strip might end?
CG: The strip will end with me weeping at my drawing board, mascara and anti-aging serum dripping all over the blank page... one hand clutching a pen, one clutching a spoon... on the speakerphone with my incredible parents, snapping at them for calling with their loving support right when I'm so busy being hysterical... frantically rethinking my whole decision... . Oh. You mean how will it end in the paper? If I had the sort of brain capable of planning two weeks ahead I never would have been able to create this strip for the last 34 years.
Q: Looking forward, what are you hoping to do with your free time?
CG: For almost 34 years I've dealt with every frustration by writing a comic strip about it... so I imagine for quite awhile there will be a little trail of crumpled-up drawings following me wherever I go.
Besides finally being available 24/7 to hover over my 18-year-old daughter and parents and drive them insane with my love, attention and opinions, I want to pursue my lifelong goal of cleaning out the trunk of my car.
Most of my huge fantasies at this age involve the storage room: repackaging the past 60 years into neat little plastic boxes ... labeling and backing up five crates of miscellaneous family videos... all 45 million digital and nondigital photos edited, organized and popped into pretty albums.
When I even think about it, I start seeing the words on the page. I know my next creative project isn't far behind.
Q: What would you like to say to your fans?
CG: I'm profoundly grateful to Universal Uclick and the newspapers for taking a chance on me, standing by me all these years and allowing me to have this incredible career.
To the readers who have cheered, cried, screamed, stomped, rallied, wailed, and started all over again and again with me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will always be there with you in the great dressing room of life, reassuring you you're not alone, cheering you on to march out into the world with your head held high, and giving you permission to go by way of the food court.

Rutgers Gets Start it Needs With Win Over Washington State
Rutgers Wins First Big Ten Conference Football Game, Beating Washington State 41-38
Rutgers, an eight-point underdog, won its first football game as a member of the Big Ten Conference at 1:34 a.m. Eastern time Friday, rallying to top Washington State in Seattle, 41-38, and touching off an on-field celebration that coach Kyle Flood relished.
"To see the looks on the faces of the players, that's where I derive all of my enjoyment," Flood said Friday afternoon.
Now the Scarlet Knights just need a win against a Big Ten opponent.
After the game, Flood called a brief meeting in the team's locker room at CenturyLink Field and informed his players they can improve. Included was his often-maligned quarterback, Gary Nova, who threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns.
"I think there are going to be a lot of things we're going to look at on film with the players where we say, 'Wow, we were effective scoring 41 points and we ran the ball well and we had some decent yards passing.'" Flood said. "But we really had a lot more opportunities than that, and that's exciting to me."
Nova was sacked just once Thursday, and his only interception, Flood said, was the result of intended receiver Desmon Peoples being bumped as he left the backfield. Washington State got the ball at the Rutgers 2 but could only manage a field goal.
Flood said he thought Nova, whom he benched for the last three games of last season, was sound at running the offense, but he also said, "I think he could throw the ball better."
Nova threw only two passes on Rutgers's game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter, which ended with Paul James scoring from 3 yards out with 3 minutes 24 seconds left. James had 173 yards rushing, and Flood said the Scarlet Knights went with him late in the game to kill as much time possible.
As effective as Rutgers was at running the ball Thursday—James and Peoples combined for 213 yards—the prevailing wisdom is that Big Ten defenses will be much more stout than Washington State's, so Nova will eventually have to deliver more.
Things got off to a great start on Thursday when Nova lofted a 78-yard touchdown pass to Leonte Carroo on the team's first play from scrimmage. But in the second and third quarters, after his interception, he threw only 11 passes, completing seven for 106 yards.
Rutgers plays its home opener Sept. 6 against Howard before its sold-out Big Ten opener at home the following week against Penn State. Howard, a Football Championship Subdivision school, lost its opener Thursday to Akron, 41-0.
Flood said the Scarlet Knights probably won't face another opponent this year that loves the forward pass as much as Washington State, whose quarterback, Connor Halliday, completed 40 of 56 passes for 532 yards and five touchdowns Thursday.
The Scarlet Knights sealed the victory only when senior safety Johnathan Aiken, who earlier forced the fumble that led to the winning touchdown, broke up a fourth-down pass with 53 seconds left. It was a thrilling upset victory for Rutgers, but it was also a close call.
Rutgers has already begun preparing for Howard, but the Scarlet Knights will have to eventually prepare for Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska and Wisconsin, all in a row. The Scarlet Knights could try battering into those teams, but flying around them would be easier.
"I think this year's version of Gary is different from the past,'' Flood said. "The things he's gone through the last two years have strengthened him. I think he's worked exceptionally hard to become a better player, a better leader and a better quarterback, and have a better relationship with everybody in the organization."

Several business areas may struggle with the hike in minimum wage including housekeeping services, laundry and linen services and especially grocery stores which only operate on a one percent profit margin.
Many in the grocery business fear that bumping up the minimum wage will make it much harder to hire students, because stores simply can't afford to pay almost $7 an hour to an entry level worker with no experience.
Other small business owners say they may have no choice but to charge more for their product or service.
"We'll probably have to raise our prices a little bit," said Mark Geovjian, owner of Melting Moments in East Lansing.
Governor Granholm is expected to sign the legislation. The increase in minimum wage to $6.95 an hour would start in October.

Harassment Reports Rise; Arab Women Complain of Everyday 'Epidemic'
Byline: Anthony Jaffee, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Women in the Arab world who wear modest head-to-toe clothing in part to avoid unwanted male attention are increasingly coming forward to complain about lewd comments, groping, stalking and other forms of sexual harassment.
A recent report by the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights found that 83 percent of Egyptian women polled reported having been sexually harassed, while nearly half said the abuse occurred daily.
The majority of women in Egypt wear the veil, known as the hijab.
The issue of sexual harassment has become less taboo recently in the Egyptian media within academic circles, and has even become a part of daily discourse among women in Egyptian society, regardless of social or economic status or political belief, the report said.
Mona Eltahawy, a New York-based Egyptian journalist, said the findings came as no surprise.
As the survey shows, the situation there is epidemic, she said.
Religious and political leaders perpetuate the behavior, she said, pointing to a public-awareness campaign in Egypt that uses the example of candy to tell women that if they cover up, they will be safe from harassment, as covered candy is safe from flies.
Men and women are getting married later, so obviously men and women are both sexually frustrated, but women have no way of showing their sexual frustration, she said. A combination of religion and politics tells young men and women that unless a woman [is covered up], she is fair game. And now men enact their sexual frustration on women without any sense of shame.
In a recent column posted on the Web site Middle East Online (www.middle-east-online.com), Ms. Eltahawy described her own experience with sexual harassment.
When I [lived] in Cairo and wore the hijab ... I was groped so many times that whenever I passed a group of men I'd place my bag between me and them, she wrote Headphones helped block out the disgusting things men - and even boys barely in their teens - hissed at me.
The women's rights center has declared sexual harassment a social cancer in Egyptian society and has organized campaigns for tougher laws to protect women on the streets.
Blogs have provided an anonymous way for women to describe their ordeals with everyday sexual harassment.
In 2006, several bloggers posted an account of a mob of men who rampaged through downtown Cairo during a religious festival sexually assaulting every woman they came across.
The account put the topic of sexual harassment into the national spotlight and spurred several public demonstrations, although the Egyptian government denied the episode occurred.
Zainab al-Suwaij, executive director of the American Islamic Congress, said the problem is spread throughout the Middle Eastern countries.
I travel to the Middle East quite frequently, and I can tell you these kinds of things are very common, she said.
Ms. al-Suwaij described occurrences in Kuwait during which she and a friend were followed and harassed by men in cars. …

This book contains a significant amount of information on the process of brazing. It was created by Handy & Harman to assist both the novice brazer and the seasoned engineer. For years, this publication has been well received and a very useful tool. This publication has been updated to incorporate the many changes that have occurred within the industry. However, the purpose of this book remains the same: to expand the applications of brazing by relaying the many advantages of it as a metal-joining method -- while being quite candid about its limitations. And we highlight the many people and industries who are now using brazing wherever possible to increase their manufacturing efficiencies.
For ease of understanding, we've divided the book into Five main sections. Section One, "The Idea of Brazing," explains exactly what brazing is, where to use it, and how to perform it properly. Section Two, "Brazing in Action," presents detailed photographic case histories illustrating some of the many applications in which brazing is used today. Section Three, "Choices In Brazing Materials," lists and describes the many brazing products available from Handy & Harman and features useful selection charts to help you choose the best filler metals and fluxes for your particular brazing application. For your convenience, we've also included a number of technical reference tables and related information. Section Four, "Available Reference Materials," lists a variety of other brazing related information available to further assist you in your brazing operations. We know you'll find The Brazing Book informative and helpful. We hope you'll find it interesting as well.

"Auction is Forever" is the name, and fundraising the game of the 38th annual Students for Student Scholarship Fund (SSSF) auction, to be held on Thursday, March 3, at 7:30 p.m. in Reisinger Concert Hall. Every James Bond film has its tuxedoed casino scene, and this year's scholarship auction is no different.
Tux-clad wannabe Bonds and, of course, slinkily clad would-be Bond girls will help auctioneers—including faculty, staff and students—auction off a wide range of items, among them show and event tickets, time shares, paintings and books, lunch with successful alumnae/i writers, and a sailboat trip and island picnic in Long Island Sound. "The auction represents such a mix of people from all across campus—the whole community gets involved," says SSSF Chair Alison Keohane '05 about the annual event that raises money for student scholarships. "It's putting your money—and time and energy—where your mouth is."
The Sarah Lawrence Students for Student Scholarship Fund is one of the oldest student-run fundraisers in the country. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, or to donate items or cash support, please call (914) 395-2575.

Recurring Role
When an intruder enters Mannix's office at night, Mannix knocks the glass lamp off his desk to kill the light and we hear the glass shattering. The next day the lamp is back on the desk, good as new.
The address of George and Amanda Hewitt is listed as "14705 View Lane" on the personal effects label but when Mannix enters the house the number "2400" is visible on the front.
The notation on George Hewitt's personal effects envelope reads "Date of Arrest," but this was adeath bycar crash andthere was no arrest.
The dates given in this episode are all over the place. First Amanda and George were married on April 7 and were married for less than a month when George was killed. The date on George's personal effects envelope at the police station stated October 20, 1970. The date on the note left for Albert Tucker supposedly from George on the day he was killed indicated July 20, 1970 [even if the note were phony Mannix should have noticed the discrepancy]. The date of the Monarch Air Freight plane crash was given as March 1968 while the cargo list/shipping manifest has the date as July 12.
Joe Mannix: It's classified prints I presume
Agent Barnes: The name is Barnes.
Joe Mannix: And I thought it was you who ran Hewitt off that mountain road.

Vacation Doesn't Have to Sabotage Your Fitness Routine
WebMD Feature
Underlying all that resting and relaxation, fitness-minded vacationers may be worrying that their fitness routine has gone down the tubes. But vacationers need not fret. In fact, they might actually benefit from the change in pace and environment, which can provide new and entertaining ways of exercising. And because it's fun, traveling exercisers won't be counting the minutes until the workout is over.
Daytime Activities
Sightseeing is a great opportunity to exercise. Taking a 20-minute brisk walk instead of a stroll can turn a day tour into a workout. Or, for a faster pace, sightseers can rent a bike or strap on a pair of inline skates and head for the park.
For those drawn to the seashore, a bounty of activities can help you burn calories. Beachcombers can take an extended swim or play a bit of beach volleyball. Or consider surfing, canoeing, bike riding and hiking.
If a gym routine is a must, local health clubs typically offer day rates, and some hotels are equipped with gym equipment.
Hotel Workouts
Even without a fully equipped gym, the hotel can still be a good place for a workout. Space-saver circuit routines can be done easily in the confines of a hotel room. The routine involves alternating one-minute each of push-ups, sit-ups, lunges and squats with two minutes of marching in place. Going through the circuit twice in 12 minutes will help you to keep the heart pumping and the muscles toned.

I ran across this interesting interview by Dr. Reagan.
At a Bible prophecy conference Dr. Reagan interviewed 11 well known people in bible prophecy and asked them if they believed the Antichrist will be a Jew? Along with Dr. Reagan's own view point on this topic there are twelve viewpoints given in this article. It is always interesting to read the different answers you will get from some of the top Bible prophecy speakers on the same subject. Like I said in a recent comment, I looked at 20 websites and got twenty completely different interpretations for the seven heads on the Beast in Revelation. lets just say that on some issues there is not a whole lot of agreement. Nonetheless, nobody seems to have a problem teaching their own interpretation as near gospel truth.
I will say this on Bible prophecy. I tend to agree on most issues with those in the old school. A lot of the new people on the block seems to be just trying to come up with a different theory to sell something . I am not saying the new kids on the block are not sincere but most of them would not even be known if they did not have some strange new theory (The twelve in this article are not new kids on the block). So the new names in Bible prophecy might take you down some new roads but you can be sure if you stay on the old roads they are well plowed and you won't get snowed. That is not to say you should never venture on new roads but you might put on your high beams and have good thread on your tires when you do.
Will the Antichrist Be a Jew? ~ Bible Prophecy Today

Will the Antichrist Be a Jew?
By Dr. David R. Reagan
Will the Antichrist be a Jew or a Gentile?
Most Christian are aware of the fact that there is a lot of disagreement about the interpretation of Bible prophecy between those who have completely different viewpoints, like the arguments between those who are Premillennial and Amillennial. But, what many people are not aware of is that there are some strong points of disagreement between those that take a literal viewpoint of end-time prophecies.
Recently, I attended a major Bible Prophecy conference in the Dallas area where I had the opportunity to interview a number of Bible prophecy experts. Out of 11 Bible prophecy experts I interviewed, only 3 said they felt like the Antichrist would be a Jew or that he could possibly be one. We'll start with one yes/no answer, one could be, and one maybe. The next seven people responded with a negative reply. The final expert I interviewed answer may surprise you. Finally, I'll conclude with my response.

To make this a bakers dozen I will also throw in my own viewpoint. The Antichrist has to be from a Gentile nation because he is the Beast out of "sea" (Gentiles) vs the false prophet who comes out of the "land" (Israel). Also, because Daniel says he is the prince who confirms the covenant that comes from the people who destroyed the Temple. The people who destroyed the Temple were Gentiles. Further, because Daniel's prophecy about the last world kingdom in context is talking about Gentile kingdoms.
There are other reasons as well, such as Antiochus IV Epiphanes was an Antichrist type or foreshadow and was a Gentile. He set up a statue of the Gentile God "Zeus" in the Temple. The AntiChrist of the end will burn the monotheistic world Harlot of Revelation and also set up a image of the Gentile Beast in the Temple (himself). That means to me that he gets his following in the last 3 1/2 years from pantheistic new age pagans, when he as a man, claims to be the God of Gods (Zeus).
Now, if I really want to make everyone happy, I could say the Antichrist "could" have Jewish blood by his mother from the tribe of Dan and that he might be a closet Jew or might not even know that he has Jewish blood. But, for certain the Antichrist will come from a Gentile nation. In any case, the identify of the Antichrist is not going to be revealed before the Church is removed so I hope the Church does not lose too much sleep over this issue.

FFR Daytona Type 65 Gets Paint & Body Work- Type 65 Earns Her StripesWritten by on March 1, 2009 Striping A FFR Daytona Coupe
Performing body and paintwork on an automobile is an enormous undertaking. If you're a kit car enthusiast who enjoys doing something you haven't tried before in the construction of your replicar, doing body and paint may be for you. Being a detail-oriented sort of builder helps, as does having the tenacity to be meticulous and not satisfied with good enough. Should you be up to the tasks at hand, this article is designed to give a step-by-step guide to adding Le Mans stripes on an already painted FFR Type 65 coupe.
Since we don't wish to throw you completely into the deep end of the painting pool (so to speak), we'll give you a little advice on the body and painting of this coupe first. You can also obtain a wealth of valuable information from your neighborhood automotive paint and supply store, should you be desire to do all the body and paintwork from start to finish.
Plastic sheeting lines the walls of the detached garage that is Marshal Custom Paintworks. Two floor fans are also deployed for keeping dust away. In the past couple years, within this very converted garage, we've laid down award-winning paint jobs on two Factory Five Racing roadsters and two FFR coupes, the second of which is the star of this stripe story.
So, see how the striping is done and decide whether you wish to render some art on your kit car yourself.
Editor's Note: The author of this how-to coupe striping story, Marshal Gilliland, had a bustling body and paint shop for 10 years before embarking on a different career. Presently, Marshal Custom Paintworks performs body and paint jobs for customers as a fun, artistic-expression fulfilling sideline, which proves that body and paint can be an engrossing, rewarding pursuit for those meticulous sorts of kit car craftsmen. By reading on, you'll get some tips from a part-time car painting pro, which could give you the courage to do some striping yourself. Stripe on!

The bodywork must be finished with 180-grit or better sandpaper. Spray three to five coats of Valspar DTM2000 primer/sealer over the entire car. If painting inside the hood of the car, bodywork and primer must be done as you would the outside. Use a Flex additive in all materials you spray. After primered, let the primer dry for one week or so, allowing it to sit in the sun as much as possible. Wet sand the car with 400-grit sandpaper, blocking areas where needed. Fill in minor imperfections and pinholes.Spray the car with two coats of Dupont 2800 series sealer to prevent bodywork shrinkage. Let dry for one hour then nib sand with 600-grit sandpaper.Wipe the entire car down with a wax and grease remover. Then use a tack cloth to wipe down the car three to four times to pick up any lose dirt or lint. We sprayed the coupe with Valspar Z Base series Diamond White tri-stage pearl, clear coated with three to four coats of Dupont/Nason 466 series clear, adding Bulldog flex additive, up to 1/3 ratio. Allow one to three days to dry.We wet sanded areas of the car to be striped with 800-grit sandpaper, being careful to stay away from edges to avoid burning through. Use a gray Scotch-Brite to sand the edges.Find the center of the body and the hood of the car. Lay down 1/8-inch Blue Fine Line tape for a reference point. Measure areas accordingly and mark with chalk. Keep hands free from any grease while taping.Pull stripe lines with 1/8-inch Blue Fine Line. Taper stripes wide to skinny in most cases. Areas inside the tape will be painted silver and candy apple red. Be sure to overlap the tape and press firmly to prevent from overspray.
Cover the car with paper and plastic to prevent overspray. Wipe car down with wax and grease remover and a tack cloth three to four times to remove any loose lint or dirt particles.Spray the stripe with three to four medium wet coats of Valspar Z Base Aztec Silver. Allow five to ten minutes between each coat to flash, making sure to keep even patterns so it won't stripe. After the silver is dry (about a half hour), tape on the inside of the stripe with 1/4-inch Blue Fine Line. Tape as close as you can get, and always double check. This will give you a silver outline, when the tape is pulled after spraying candy paint.Add one to two ounces of House of Kolor Kandy Apple Red Kandy Koncentrate to pre-mixed clear. Use to your own discretion. The more Kandy, the darker it will get. Apply three to four medium wet coats of tinted clear, allowing at least five minutes between each coat of clear.Pull up the 1/4-inch tape to expose the silver paint, being careful not to touch the wet candy paint. Spray two more coats of clean clear over the entire stripe. Be sure to use flex additive in the clear. Let the coupe dry for one to two days (preferably) in the sun if you can.Now wet sand the entire hood and car with 800-grit sandpaper, so you can clear coat it again. Be sure to clean off all the sanding sludge and use a tack cloth. Spray three more coats of DuPont/Nason clear coat, using up to 1/3 ratio of Bulldog flex additive in the clear. Flex additive helps the paint flex and resist rock chips.
After the final clear coats, let the car dry for three to six days to permit all the material to cure.Wet sand the coupe with 1200-grit sandpaper, staying away from edges so you don't burn through. Using a machine buffer, go over the car with 3M Rubbing Compound. Then use 3M Foam Pad Polish to eliminate swirls. Wash car and rub a hand glaze over it. Don't use wax for four to six weeks. You're now ready to take a trophy at the next show. Well done!

.- In his weekly pastoral letter, Archbishop Braulio Rodriguez Plaza of Valladolid, Spain, has denounced Spanish governmental officials who support abortion, saying their negligence has prevented thousands of citizens from being born.
In his letter, the archbishop recalled the "chilling number of 85,000 abortions in Spain in 2004," which he blamed on the State for failing "to protect and look after the physical integrity of its citizens."
Christians reject abortion, he said, not only for religious reasons, but also because "logically it is incomprehensible." He rejected the idea that acceptance of abortion is a sign of social progress. "It's not a question of legality, or of social progress, but of respect for life," he added.
Archbishop Rodriguez Plaza also reached out to women who have had abortions because of "pressure from society or a lack of alternatives," saying he wished to convey to them a "message of hope," and he expressed his support for crisis pregnancy centers that "provide pregnant women with alternatives."
Likewise, the archbishop criticized a newly passed law in Spain on assisted reproduction, which he said "shows no respect whatsoever for the embryo, and even goes so far as to employ the unscientific concept of pre-embryo." Echoing the words of Pope Benedict XVI to the members of the Pontifical Academy of Life, he said, "The Bible expresses love for each human being, even before he is formed in his mother's womb."
"The love of God for all human beings is already present at the beginning of the life of the embryo before it is implanted in the womb of its mother," the archbishop stated.

Have clicked on Update numerous times with no result. Same with Flipboard - every day it tells me a better version is available, but it won't update. Is there a secret to this?

Plus' Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?, the biggest television game show of the
season, is based on the international Mark Burnett format 'Are you Smarter
than a 5th Grader' The interesting format of the show puts
forward challenges for successful and confident adults from all spheres of
life. The hurdle is that all contestants are stumped when asked primary school
level questions. This builds up the pressure of remembering one's basics and
keeping their reputations intact!
The charismatic host Shah
Rukh Khan opens the show this Friday with the chirpy five classmates as
they groove to the title track of
The second contestant of the evening who is all set to face
the challenge is the 54-year-old homemaker from Kolkata, Poonam Mahajan.
She walks in with a box of sandesh (sweets) and presents it to Shah Rukh
along with a bouquet of beautiful flowers. This enthusiastic woman keeps
hugging SRK so often that he forgets his lines out of embarrassment. Poonam requested him to be her son and hugged SRK. SRK,
surprised at the beginning, very warmly hugged Poonam back and ate sandesh out
of her hands. He lovingly kept calling her 'Poonam aunty' during the show. It
was apparent from his actions that he completely adored the elderly lady.
Shah Rukh says 'Kalvida' reciting a poem written by a fan of the show,
"Likhne padhane se mujhe na agar parhez hota –
Aaj main bhi paanchvi pass se tez hota
Dikhta main TV pe, khabar sansanikhez hota –
Kash main paanchvi pass se tez hota
Chaaro taraf mera hi naam praise hota –
Shah Rukh se zyadaa mera craze hota
Apni duniya ka main Changez hota –
Agar main sirf paanchvi pass se tez hota!"
Will Sagar be able to win the grand amount to purchase Mannat and will Poonam overcome her zeal at hugging SRK and answer questions correctly to win big bucks? Watch the two participants trying hard to focus on the game despite being mesmerized by SRK's style & charisma.

OSU continues strong ticket sales
by Brandon Chatmon
Follow me on Twitter @BChatmon
The loss of two NFL first round picks and several starters has not lessened the excitement for Oklahoma State's football program.
As of this afternoon, OSU has sold about 34,000 season tickets. The 34,000 total includes student season ticket sales which are likely to increase before the Sept. 4 opener against Washington State.
The Cowboys are on pace to have the second-highest season ticket sales in the history of the program behind last year's record total of 45,694 season tickets.
Around 4,000 student season tickets have been sold thus far and student season ticket sales will likely increase in the two weeks before the season opener with classes beginning on Monday.
The Cowboys have sold around 30,000 public season tickets thus far. At this time a year ago, OSU had sold 32,500 public tickets.

The AP reports:
"…members of the Food and Drug Administration's reproductive drugs panel voted 11-0 that the drug's benefits did not outweigh side effects, including fatigue, depression and fainting spells.
Flibanserin failed to increase sexual desire, as recorded by women in daily journals, in two company studies.
The FDA will make its own decision on the drug in coming months, though it generally follows the panel's advise."
When will we learn to put evidence before hype?
To wait until all the evidence is in before promoting something as "the female viagra" – as "the pink pill" that women have been waiting for?
Shame on the journalists who hyped this story leading up to the FDA panel's vote. It resembled free advertising, free marketing, free buildup of demand for an unproven product.
And pity the poor consumers who heard about this every day and bought the hype.
When will we learn to be better evaluators of the evidence?

It may have flopped but at least some media are spouting nonsense.
Here is a link to an NYT article which reports on the issue as if there is no doubt that female HSDD is a serious disorder. Terrible journalism.
i love it, im so glad this drug flopped they need to fire the greedy idiots at BI who tried to make up this disease state. I have an idea why not go after cures which BI has none (no long term money in that). good luck with your me too rat poison.

Brookfield East student cited for drunken driving after crash in school parking lot
Teen's blood-alcohol content was 0.10
An 18-year-old Brookfield man, a student at Brookfield East High School, was cited for drunken driving in the school parking lot Friday.
City of Brookfield Police Capt. Phil Horter said officers responded to a crash in the school's parking lot, 3305 N. Lilly Road, at 3:22 p.m. Nov. 30. The 18-year-old had rear-ended another vehicle, causing minor damage.
His blood-alcohol content was 0.10 when officers gave him a breath test at the scene, Horter said.
Anne Moore, Elmbrook School District director of communications, said the school is aware of the incident and the assistant principal is working with police.
"We do know the student was not in attendance in school Friday, and there will be school-related consequences for the student," Moore said.
It's unclear how long the teen had been in the parking lot or where he was when he drank the alcohol.

New Jersey-based health care giant Johnson & Johnson took a leadership position in open science on Friday, leaving behind competitors who are reluctant to outgrow the current way of doing science and technology, which believes that the highest value accrues from exclusive ownership of knowledge, protected by a punitive patents regime, strong data security laws and a climate of corporate secrecy. This model cannot possibly scale up to the ever-larger questions and opportunities that science and technology will encounter soon. Sharing across national borders and corporate and academic firewalls would be an easier and faster route to take.
J&J has forged an alliance with the Yale Open Data Access (YODA) Project of the Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CORE) at Yale-New Haven Hospital to release clinical trials data to other researchers. Traditionally, pharmaceutical companies have closely held trials data, only sharing with regulators as required. Negative results were especially unlikely to be released. It has been feared that the data can be used by the competition to save development time, or to launch political attacks on the company. Not all criticism of companies in the life sciences is in the public interest, and they are naturally not eager to shovel grist into the mill.
So J&J is being daringly progressive in turning the model on its head. YODA will act as a clearing house vetting requests for data coming in from researchers and practitioners all over the world. Credible agencies will be given access to raw data in bulk, scrubbed of patient identifiers. Starting with drug trials, the programme will eventually include medical devices. Crucially, all the data will be revealed, not only sets relating to positive results, or sets which are immediately germane to the query. Interesting possibilities will emerge, including some which may be unanticipated.
For starters, researchers would be able to verify company results independently. This would have implications for scientific issues which have been overtaken by politics, such as genetically modified foods. In such cases, there is room for politics rather than reason because the tests run are not seen to be entirely compelling, or the testers not entirely disinterested parties. Reappraisals of the raw data by third parties at arm's length could pave the way to acceptable resolutions.
But recursing old trials is only an elementary outcome, though it can have profound consequences for trust. More interestingly, large, cumulative volumes of released data would make big

Wednesday media watch [05.12.12 PM]: Agbonlahor on bright future
ClubCall: Gabby Agbonlahor claims Aston Villa are 'an improving team' and he is 'excited' at the prospect of a successful future at the club. The Villa hitman, who has spent all of his career at the club since breaking into the first team six years ago, has seen many changes in that time with a host of managers and players passing through the doors.
ClubCall: Ashley Westwood claims he has already made big improvements as a player since joining Aston Villa in the summer transfer window. Villa boss Paul Lambert swooped to sign the midfielder on a four-year deal from League One Crewe just before the August 31 transfer deadline.
Best Of The Rest
BBC Sport: West Ham United have been named as the preferred bidders to take over the Olympic Stadium.
BBC Sport: Neil Lennon reckons steering Celtic into the last 16 of the Champions League would be his "best achievement as a manager".
Sky Sports: Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas says he is hopeful injured winger Gareth Bale will only miss one Premier League game.

Leaves of Grass
Leaves of Grass is a collection of poems by Walt Whitman, which was self-published in 1855. It has its origins in an essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson 10 years earlier titled The Poet, which called for a new poetic voice that embodied the spirit of America. Some of its well-known poems include "Song of Myself" and "I Sing the Body Electric," and most were fiddled with and added to over the course of Whitman's life.
Whitman wanted his book to be small enough to fit in a reader's pocket, as it was more likely to be read in the "open air." And he noted "I am nearly always successful with the reader in the open air." The title of the book is also a pun: "Grass" was a term that publishers ascribed to inferior literary works and "leaves" refer to the pages on which they were printed. It was considered "obscene literature" when it first came out, and critics accused its anonymous author of homosexuality. Poetry at the time was highly allegorical, and sensuous references to one's body was more than sensible folk could stomach back then. Leaves of Grass is a masterpiece of American poetry, and it is a song to America itself.
