NEW ORLEANS - The University of Alabama men's track & field squad was named the 2014 Indoor Scholar Team of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) it was announced this week.
"This is an amazing honor, one that speaks highly of the hard work our team puts in on the track and in the classroom," UA head coach Dan Waters said. "We are dedicated to putting forth a championship effort in everything we do and this latest honor is a testament to how far we've progressed in a short period of time. I am very proud of our men's and women's team for fulfilling the athletic department's mission of competing at the highest level athletically and academically."
As the highest-placing team with at least a 3.00 cumulative team grade point average at this season's indoor NCAA Division I Championships, Alabama stood out among 116 men's programs that combined academic and athletic achievement to earn All-Academic Team honors this season. The Crimson Tide was the highest-finishing men's team at the NCAA Indoor Championships to earn All-Academic Team honors, finishing sixth place overall with a 3.14 cumulative team GPA. This marks the first time the Crimson Tide men have earned Scholar Team of the Year honors. The Tide men also finished 15th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
The Tide women also had an outstanding year both on the track and in the classroom, ranking 13th nationally by cumulative grade point average with a 3.52 and finishing 19th at the NCAA Indoor Championships and 18th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. This season marked the first time in school history that both the Alabama men and women finished in the top-20 at both the indoor and outdoor NCAA Championships and posted cumulative team GPAs better than 3.0.

Awarded Grant - Acute Care
Improving Trauma Outcomes: A Patient Centered Approach
FOA Number: CE06-005: Research Grants for the Care of the Acutely Injured
Project Period: 9/1/2006 – 8/31/2010
Application/Grant Number: 1-R49-CE001003-01
Principal Investigator: MacKenzie, Ellen J.
Bloomberg School of Public Health

Baltimore, MD 21205
Email: email@example.com
Importance: Despite substantial improvements over the last two decades in the organization and delivery of trauma care, severe injuries often result in poor long term functional outcomes for working age individuals. Several studies have highlighted the limits of medical treatment alone and demonstrated that larger
Improvements in outcome will only be possible through interventions that also address the psychosocial needs of patients and assist them in self-managing the multi-factorial consequences of their injury.
Intervention: It is in this context that the American Trauma Society developed the Trauma Survivor's Network (TSN) Program, a patient centered intervention designed to fill critical gaps in the care and rehabilitation of trauma survivors. The TSN program consists of four integrated components - health care provider training, efficient access to information and referral, a peer support program, and a self management course – linked together through a customized Information Technology application.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the TSN. We will: (1) determine the use and satisfaction with services made available through
The TSN Program; and, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of the TSN Program in improving primary, secondary and intermediary outcomes for trauma patients.
Study Design and Participants: The prospective clinical trial will use a pretest-post-test lagged-control design to evaluate the TSN. A total of 324 patients will be enrolled prior to implementation of the TSN at two Level I trauma centers. These individuals will serve as the control group and their outcomes assessed at 9 months post-injury. Following implementation of the TSN at both trauma centers, a second cohort of 540 patients will be enrolled and followed at 9 months post-injury. These individuals will serve as the intervention group.
Outcomes: Primary measures of effectiveness will include: self-reported pain, anxiety, PTSD, depressed mood, and positive mood. Secondary outcome measures include: function, return to usual major activity and quality of life. Improvements in primary and secondary outcomes will result through the impact of the intervention on self efficacy, patient activation and knowledge, catastrophizing and social support. If shown to be effective, the TSN will provide an additional critical component to the care now available in trauma centers throughout the country and ensure comprehensive patient centered trauma management to improve long-term outcomes and quality of life.

A scheduled event at the Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco with "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson was canceled Monday morning (November 10) when a crowd of roughly 3,000 fans quickly turned violent, according to a report on TMZ.com.
According to firsthand accounts on the Twilight Lexicon Blog, at least one girl was left bloody and several dozen others were pushed and prodded by the melee.
The event was presented by Hot Topic and promised the first 500 fans that lined up an opportunity to purchase a "Twilight" Tour T-shirt and a chance to meet Pattinson. When reached for comment, representatives from the Stonestown Galleria management and security offices transferred MTV News to Hot Topic's corporate offices. As of press time, Hot Topic had not responded to our requests for comment.
According to comments on the Lexicon Blog, the event was a disaster due to poor organization and planning, with just one security guard responsible for corralling thousands of screaming fans.
"There was one security guy trying his best to control everyone, but soon there were more fans. … Hot Topic and the mall should have organized this better," user Patty wrote. "I mean, come on, only 500 people were going to be allowed. I see why it turned into chaos. Everyone wanted to be part of the 500, including myself!!"
Apparently, some fans tried creating their own list of 500, only to be rebuffed by late-comers (the list was not officially sanctioned as part of the process). Adding to the confusion, fans were reportedly told they could line up at different times.
"It was completely RIDICULOUS this morning!! I was there at 4 in the morning and signed up on a 'list' that was supposed to let how many people were supposed to get in, but apparently this list wasn't valid," user Cheyenne wrote. "It was completely UNORGANIZED and the Hot Topic people told us they 'weren't prepared for this big of a crowd.' "
While details remain murky, there is apparently one thing all "Twilight" fans can agree on.
"All those who pushed, shoved and disobeyed should be ashamed of themselves," user Returned Secrets wrote. "It is stuff like this that will continue to propagate the stigma of 'Twilight' fans as uncontrollable screaming girls. I feel sorry for those who tried to be on good behavior and were injured in the process."
The Hot Topic "Twilight" Tour will continue throughout the rest of the week, with planned appearances by the cast in cities across America. To see if the tour is stopping in your neck of the woods, head to HotTopic.com.
We've got the biggest exclusives from tomorrow's blockbusters today.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa football team changed the look of its football helmet for Saturday's game against Michigan, in honor of members of the military and Iowa's recognition of Veterans Day in Kinnick Stadium.
Iowa's black helmet featured Iowa's tigerhawk logo on the right temple, in red, white and blue, and not the normal gold color. This logo is in recognition of men and women, in all branches of the military around the world, who are serving, or have served, their country.
The left side of the helmet did not include the tigerhawk logo and was left black, in honor of all men and women of all branches of the military who gave their lives in the line of duty.

Homemade Peanut Butter & S'mores Cups
Submitted By:
{HWTM} The Hungry Mouse -
Candy shells
3-4 cups chocolate chips
Peanut butter filling
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
S'mores filling
1 cup marshmallow fluff
2 graham crackers, broken in pieces
Candy wrappers 24 mini muffin liners
6 regular muffin liners
Melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Set the chocolate aside to cool.
Put the peanut butter and powdered sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until smooth and uniform. Add the vanilla extract and stir until you have a smooth paste. Set aside.
When your chocolate is cool enough to handle, make the chocolate-coated cups. Put a spoonful of chocolate in the middle of a muffin liner. Using the back of your spoon, smoosh it around to completely coat the inside. Set it aside on a sheet pan. Repeat until all liners are coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 min., until the chocolate is solid. Let the rest of the melted chocolate hang out on the counter at room temp.
When you're ready to fill the cups, take them out of the fridge. If your melted chocolate is too solid to work with, pop it back over a pot of warm water to loosen it up a little.
Put a small lump of peanut butter filling in one of the mini chocolate cups. Fill them at least halfway up, so there's a fairly even ratio of chocolate to filling. With a finger, smoosh the filling down so that it's flat. Top with a spoonful of melted chocolate. Spread the chocolate around with the back of your spoon until the filling is completely sealed in. Set the finished peanut butter cup on a sheet pan. Repeat with the rest of the mini chocolate cups.
To make a s'mores cup, fill one of the larger chocolate-coated muffin liners a little more than halfway with marshmallow fluff. Set a piece of a graham cracker on top of the fluff. Press it down gently. Top with melted chocolate and spread it around with the back of a spoon to seal it in. Set aside on a plate or tray. Repeat with the rest of the larger chocolate cups.
When all your cups are filled and topped with chocolate, pop them into the fridge to let the chocolate harden up. Give them at least an hour depending on how thick your top layer of chocolate is. Enjoy!

Does anyone have documentation or tooling to help migrate from a config file based asterisk deployment to a database deployment?
I don't have an automated migration script, but the gist is that you make with an extconfig.conf file that maps a traditional config file name to a table name (and set of MySQL or ODBC/DB credentials), and then a set of tables with slightly normalized (but nearly line-for-line) equivalents to what would be in a local config file. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+RealTime has more.
Another way to do realtime database-backed call routing is using AGI or Fast AGI. We recommend AGI to our Asterisk hosting customers because it decouples call routing logic from phone/PBX functionality, something that's not at all true with an Asterisk dialplan (Asterisk RealTime or not). Your dialplan then uses the AGI command (with an agi:// URL) instead of calling embedded dialplan commands.
That also lets you write the call logic/routing in whatever programming language does the job best, which is rarely AEL. help.cloudvox.com has a bunch more AGI docs.
I was looking for the same thing and ended up writing my own quick and dirty script using Asterisk::config modules from CPAN, hope it saves sometime of somebody else:

Brewing up a new packaging solution
Northern Brewer uses an overhead delivery system for on-demand, de-centralized distribution of inflatable packaging.
October 06, 2011 - MMH Editorial
Companies shipping directly to consumers are constantly searching for an edge in the market. That was certainly the case for Minnesota-based Northern Brewer, one of the first companies to provide all the tools to make home-made beer, wine, mead and sake.
The company recently realized one way to set itself apart with customers was through a new approach to packaging (Sealed Air, http://www.sealedair.com) for its BrewSaver Shipping, which provides shipping for a flat rate of $7.99.
While investigating alternatives to the void fill and protective packaging it was using, Northern Brewer agreed to become a beta test site for a new method of quickly creating packaging materials on-site and on-demand. The system was designed to eliminate the need to store large amounts of bulky materials while the compact size and speed of the system allows operators to create inflatable cushioning at workstations, online or for batching processes. The end result is a cushioning system that retains air and maintains cushioning performance throughout Northern Brewer's transportation cycle.
After conducting internal package testing, Northern Brewer found that the new material retained more air than any other inflatable packaging solution it compared.
Northern Brewer uses an overhead delivery system for on-demand, de-centralized distribution of inflatable packaging from overhead bins at each station. overhead delivery system allows the brewer to free up valuable floor space for storing products rather than packaging supplies. The resulting redesign of the packaging stations provided a more ergonomic design for Northern Brewer's fulfillment associates.

PM Netanyahu: It is essential that Iran be made to live up to Security Council resolutions that demand an end to enrichment and enrichment capability and an end to plutonium heavy water capability toward fissile material for nuclear weapons.

(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Wednesday, 23 October 2013), met with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Rome and said at the start of their meeting:
"The foremost security problem that we face as you said is Iran's quest for nuclear weapons. Preventing that is a goal I share with you and President Obama, and you have said, I think wisely, that Iran must not have a nuclear weapons capability, which means that they shouldn't have centrifuges or enrichment. They shouldn't have a plutonium heavy water plant, which is used only for nuclear weapons. They should get rid of the advanced fissile material and they shouldn't have underground nuclear facilities, underground for one reason – for military purposes.
I think you're right. I think no deal is better than a bad deal. I think a partial deal that leaves Iran with these capabilities is a bad deal. You wisely insisted there wouldn't be a partial deal with Syria. You were right. If Assad had said, you know, "I am ready to dismantle 90%, 50% or 80% of my chemical weapons capability," you would have refused and correctly so, and I think in the case of Iran, it is essential that it be made to live up to Security Council resolutions that demand an end to enrichment and enrichment capability and an end to plutonium heavy water capability toward fissile material for nuclear weapons.
I think we're very close together and I agree with you that the goal is to get it peacefully, peacefully. The best way to get it peacefully is to maintain the pressure on Iran. That's what got them into these renewed negotiations in the first place. The leadership of the United States and the President have shown on the issue of sanctions I think has been centrally important.
I think it'll be a tragic mistake to stop right before that goal is realized. And I look forward to discussing this issue with you.
The second thing we're discussing all the time, and I'm not revealing state secrets if I tell you that we, the Secretary and I talk more or less every other day about these twin goals –is to advance the peace the Palestinians. That peace is premised on mutual recognition, of two states for two peoples, of the Palestinian state for the Palestinian people mirrored by the Jewish state for the Jewish people. I think that's fundamental for any peace, but equally it must be a peace that, as President Obama has said, a peace that Israel can defend by itself, for itself, against any conceivable threat. I think these are the two twin pillars for peace and I look forward to discussing how we can advance both goals in our discussions today and undoubtedly our discussions tomorrow as well."

Las Mujeres
Conversations from a Hispanic Community
Three very different women—a Chicana, a Jew, and an Anglo-Scot—who met at the University of Albuquerque in the 1970s, collaborate to produce an oral history of four generations of Hispanic women living in and around Albuquerque, and to consider questions about the retention and loss of ethnic identity as one becomes "American." The volume is filled with memorable stories of women and girls trying to live in harmony with each other and with men, while stressed about money, eager for education, and worried about the diminution of their cultural identities as they move from rural to city lives.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Duran, Becca (Rebecca Rose)
Duran, Becca (Rebecca Rose), jazz vocalist, educator, composer, lyrcist; b. Montebello, CA, 16 June 1944. Following six years in the war, her father (born Ruben Duran, 1924) played baritone and alto in a big band while completing his undergraduate studies on the GI Bill in California. Her mother, a civil rights activist (born Rita J. Gonzales, 1926) gave birth to five other children (Alicia, b. 1945, Celinda, b. 1954, Dennis, b. 1956, Therese, b. 1962 and Katy, b. 1966). As a child Becca completed almost a year of piano lessons. In 1954 her family moved to Washington State where her father earned a Phd. In 1959 the family relocated back to California. In 1962 the family returned to Washington state where Becca earned a bachelors and masters degree in languages and early childhood education respectively. She attended school for one year in Veracruz, Mexico in 1965. During a brief visit to California Bobby Troupe and Julie London heard Becca sing at a private party. Both encouraged her to pursue a vocal career.
Finding herself a resident of Seattle, Washington in the early 1970s, Becca in addition to a full-time career in state and federal government education agencies, pursued jazz vocal study with Joni Metcalf, who directed the jazz vocal curriculum at Cornish Institute at the time. After only 3 months of study Metcalf hired Becca to sing with the Joni Metcalf Group and it was during this period from 1974-1980 that Becca sang part-time in Seattle jazz clubs and acquired studio experience. She worked with seasoned players like Julian Priester, Basie alum, Bill Ramsay, Red Kelly as well as with younger players like Denny Goodhew and Jim Knapp and many more. She continued to focus on vocal study working with Jay Clayton, George Peckham, Marie Weltman, Paul Ingham and Tom Blaylock. From 1980-1984 she sang on television commercials, recorded background vocals for television films and performed in jazz duos, trios and quartets. Still employed in her education career in 1980 she was named Supervisor of Music and Arts Education for the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction. In 1984 she retired from state government and decided to pursue a full-time career in jazz music.
At this time she met and worked with Jay Thomas, jazz trumpeter and together they traveled to perform throughout the Northwest, Alaska, Hawaii and began to tour in Japan working jazz festivals, clubs and hotel venues until the 1990s. In 1994 she and Jay Thomas married. From 1994-1999 in addition to gigs and recordings she taught Music History and Music Fundamentals classes part-time in the music department of South Seattle Community College. In this period Becca also began singing with two Seattle big bands, Friendly Fire and the Usual Suspects, both directed by Jay Thomas. She continues to sing with these bands as well as with Acquired Involuntary Narsicissm, an innovative, contemporary jazz orchestra directed by trombonist, writer arranger, Chris Stover. She has conducted vocal jazz clinics at universities and high schools including Central Washington State University, Eastern Washington University, Roosevelt High School in Seattle and the University of Alaska.
Throughout her career she has composed her own material and has co-authored songs with her husband, Jay Thomas. She has credits as a lyricist having written text for Richie Beirach, Bernie Senensky (Canadian pianist), Danny Embry (guitarist) and Jack Van Poll (Dutch pianist). She continues to perform, record and tour. She won Seattle's Earshot Jazz Vocalist of the Year Award in 2001. In 2002 she was named by the Washington State Business Women of Color Hispanic Woman of the Year in the Arts for her achievements as a jazz vocalist. Her most recent Japanese tour was in summer of 2002 where she played the Miyazaki Jazz Festival and sang in jazz clubs and larger performance spaces throughout Kyushu, in Hiroshima, Fukuoka and Nagoya. She continues to perform in the Seattle area at well-known venues like Tula's, the New Orleans Jazz Restaurant and Patty Summer's Cabaret.
She is currently engaged as a lyricist and is slated for a new recording in Los Angeles with Bill Cunliffe (pianist, arranger) sometime in 2004.

LOS ANGELES - The UCLA women's soccer team was selected to compete in the 2010 NCAA Women's Soccer Championships on Monday and will host first and second round action at Drake Stadium beginning this Thursday.
UCLA (12-7-1) opens up the tournament against BYU (16-3-2) on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. The other first-round match that day features fourth-seeded Central Florida (14-4-3) taking on WAC Champion Fresno State (9-8-5) at 8:00 p.m. Thursday's winners will advance to the second round on Saturday at 7:00 p.m.
It marks the 13th year in a row that UCLA has been chosen to host NCAA early-round action. It is also the first time since 1999 that the Bruins are not seeded in the tournament.

The Massachusetts field hockey team has made a habit of overcoming ranked opponents in recent years.
UMass knocked off six teams ranked in the Top 25 last season on its way to the NCAA Tournament and have already beaten two ranked opponents just five games into 2013.
The seventh-ranked Minutewomen (5-0) will have a shot at win No. 3 over ranked teams when they take on No. 6 Syracuse - a team they played twice last season, winning one at home and losing the other in the Tournament - on Friday at 3 p.m.
Why so many nationally-ranked opponents?
According to UMass coach Carla Tagliente, it's a perfect measuring stick for her team early in the season...

Is it possible to filter e-mail to different IP addresses based on the recipients address. For example if there was a situation where one group of staff e.g. business critical users were hosted on a more expensive platform and and another group of staff e.g. normal users were stored on a cheaper platform.
The key would be that all still operated from the same domain name.
Is there a way of achieving this?

We did promise something cool this morning (or night in the US) via Twitter and here it is — a video interview with Mark Jaquith, WordPress Lead Developer. Taken last weekend at WordCamp San Francisco 2011. The interviewer is Adria Richards and if you listen carefully you'll hear her in the back, sorry we didn't have an extra mic ;)
Mark talks a little about himself and about his contributions to WordPress.org. Plugins, patches, the transition from Movable Type and then a few words about CDN setups and locking yourself into various providers. Good responses about training, learning and practicing, tips to Cowboy Coders, newbie developers and more! Thank you Mark for such a great interview!
Here are the questions that we asked Mark:
- Introduce yourself and let us know what you do with WordPress
- What were some of your first contributions to WordPress?
- What is your preferred way of using a CDN (Content Delivery Network) with WordPress?
- In your talk yesterday you said that "you can't learn these things on the fly". How can a developer prepare themselves for large scale site installs?
- How do you stay up to date on new technology? How should developers manage their time between clients, running their business and learning?
- What tips can you give to cowboy coders?
- Do you think starting a family caused you to rethink your cowboy coding work style? Has a work/life balance become more important to you?
- What do you thik WordPress developers are overlooking when working with this platform?
- How do you think the security plugin session went? Did you want to see more submissions? Do you think you conveyed enough information the audience to benefit them? Did you hold back on some details to protect sites using some of the plugins reviewed?
- What are some best practices sites and resources that WordPress developers should follow?
- What's the best way to participate in the WordPress community as a developer?
We've got a few more video interviews of other folks lined up to air next week. Tell us what you think of this first one and who would you like to see next? Use the comments section below to leave your thoughts and thanks for staying tuned to our feed.

Earlier this summer, the Carlton Complex fire grew to become the largest wildfire in Washington State's history, burning more than 250,000 acres and destroying 300 homes. One person died fighting the flames and countless animals perished in the fire. But one little survivor from the Washington wildfires continues to beat the odds, thanks to the dedicated staff at Lake Chelan Veterinary Hospital.
Alta Kitty was discovered near Alta Lake Golf Course by good Samaritan, who took her to the Washington State Animal Response Team (WASART). WASART volunteers took the burned, sooty little cat to Lake Chelan Veterinary Hospital, where she has received top care from the entire staff.
On Monday of this week, Dr. Shelton from the veterinary hospital took the day off to drive Alta five hours to Pullman, Washington, for treatment at the Washington State University (WSU) Veterinary Clinic. After examining Alta, Dr. Fransson at WSU stated that her treatment thus far had been absolutely perfect - and that she wouldn't change a thing. The fourth year veterinary students dubbed the resilient little cat "Adorable Alta" and someone was with her 24/7, providing Alta with constant love, care, and attention.
Lake Chelan Veterinary Hospital's Facebook page stated on July 30: "Alta will be back with us at the end of the week. As you can imagine, we all miss her, her happy little purrs, and her sweet cuddles. Thanks for all your well wishes and healing thoughts...we know they are making a huge difference in her recovery!"
Alta came in to the veterinary hospital with second degree burns and abrasions across her body, including her eyes, ears, nose, and pads - but she's responding well to treatment. The swelling on Alta's face has decreased and she has regained her vision. Alta bravely endures dressing changes on her burned feet. Even with her burnt ears and face, her beauty, affection, and gratitude shine through. And Alta is helping other animals, as well: her amazing rescue inspired a fund to help other animals like her recover from these devastating fires.
The "Alta Good Samaritan Fund" will help the animals who have been impacted by the fire. Donations can be sent to Lake Chelan Veterinary Hospital, P.O. Box 1238, Chelan, WA 98816. Please mark "Attn: Alta Good Samaritan Fund" on all checks. Donors can also call the office at (509) 682 5812 for credit card donations.
The towns of Carlton and Pateros - where Alta came from - are devastated. It's a miracle that Alta walked out of the fire. And she will continue receiving the best veterinary care – and the love of a community that appreciates her courage and embodiment of hope during this tragic time.

US aerospace giant Boeing Wednesday reported higher first quarter earnings due to a tax credit, despite fewer deliveries of its problem-plagued Boeing 787.
Net income for the quarter came in at $1.1 billion, up 20 percent from the year-earlier period of $923 million. That translated into earnings per share of $1.44.
The earnings were boosted by a 19 cents per share gain for a 2012 research and development tax credit.
Revenues were $18.9 billion, down 3 percent from the same period last year.
Boeing, which has said the 787 problems would not significantly affect company earnings, also reaffirmed its 2013 profit forecast.
Boeing last week received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to implement its fix to the 787's battery, which had overheated in some commercial flights.
Boeing only delivered one 787 in the most recent quarter, down from five in the year-earlier period. Overall commercial deliveries were flat compared with last year at 137.
"Our first priority in the days ahead is to fully restore our customers' 787 fleets to service and resume production deliveries," said chief executive officer Jim McNerney. "Our outlook for the year is positive, and our financial and delivery guidance is reaffirmed."
Boeing's "core earnings", a closely-watched benchmark that excludes pension and post-retirement expenses, came in at $1.73 per share, compared with analyst expectations of $1.48 per share.

"Arrow" episode 215, "The Promise," for which the CW released promotional photos on Tuesday, Feb. 25, is all about Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Slade (Manu Bennett), past and present, going off of what has been released so far about the episode – and it sounds like it's going to be a good one.
In this upcoming "Arrow" episode, in the present, Oliver is shocked to find out that Slade is in Starling City. But how much of what Slade has been up to in Starling City will he know about by the end of the episode?
As for what happened back on the island, Oliver, Slade and Sara (Caity Lotz) prepare to take over the freighter, but Sara pulls Oliver aside and tells him he needs to kill Ivo (Dylan Neal) to keep him from telling Slade the truth of what happened with Shado. Oliver may be feeling guilty, but he knows that Slade's growing rage from the Mirakuru makes him very unpredictable and he'd likely turn on them if he thought Oliver was responsible for her death. Oliver agrees to kill Ivo, and the battle begins.
The slideshow of "The Promise" photos offers a look at Roy (Colton Haynes) with Canary and Diggle and Slade with the Queen family and Roy, which could only mean trouble – and why do he and Moira (Susanna Thompson) look chummy? – in the present, and Oliver possibly facing trouble from The Butcher (Ronald Selmour), Ivo and Slade on the island. Does Slade find out the truth on the island in this episode? Could Ivo tell him before they can execute their plan?
"Arrow" season 2 airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on the CW. "The Promise" airs March 5. What do you think of these episode 15 photos?

TC TO KARL AUGUST VARNHAGEN VON ENSE ; 22 October 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18451022-TC-KAVE-01; CL 20: 34-35
Chelsea, 22 Octr, 1845—
My dear Sir,
You have again, as you are on all occasions doing, deserved many thanks from me. The German Books, all right and fit according to the requisition, were announced to me as safe arrived, three weeks ago, while I was in Scotland on a visit to my native place there. They were sent straight to the fair hands to whom they now belonged;1 and due thanks, the real ownership of which was yours, were paid me by return of Post. The Friedrich der Grosse, I find, was perfectly correct; not less so, I will hope, the Geist der Kochkunst [Essentials of the Art of Cooking]!2 In fact you have very much obliged me by your goodness in this matter; and now if the Bookseller will send his account, it will complete the favour; and this important little matter, more important than some greater ones, will be well and kindly finished.
A few days after I wrote last, there came to me, from Lewis, your Book on Hans von Held.3 Lewis had been unwell; had hoped always to bring the Book, and never till then decided on sending it. For this Book also I will very heartily thank you. It it like a Steel Engraving;—has vividly printed on my mind the image of a Man and his Environment; and in its hard outlines, bound up by the rigours of History and Authenticity, one traces indications enough of internal harmony and rhythm. As in the Tirynthian Walls,4 built of dry stone, it is said you may trace the Architectural Tendencies that build a Parthenon and an Iliad, of other materials!— I found much to think of in this Life of Held: new curiosities awakened as to Prussian Life; new intimation that the soul of it as yet lay all dumb to us English, perhaps to the Prussians themselves. They begin to seem to me a great People: a kind of German-English, I sometimes call them; great dumb Titans,—like the other Mecklenburgers that have come to this side of the Channel so long since!5—
In my Scotch seclusion I read Preuss's two Books on Friedrich, which you sent me a long time ago.6 The liveliest curiosity awoke in me to know more and ever more about that King. Certainly if there is a Hero for an Epic in these Ages,—and why should there not in these ages as well as others,—then this is he!— But he remains still very dark to me; and Preuss, tho' full of minute knowledge and seemingly very authentic, is not exactly my man for all purposes. In fact I could like to know much more about this King; and if of your own knowledge, or with Herr Preuss's help, you could at any time send me a few names of likely Books on the subject, they would not be lost upon me.
About the middle of next month, the Cromwell, which is waiting for a Portrait, and also for the return of London Population from the Country, is to make its appearance; and your Copy shall have the earliest conveyance I can find. You will, of course, try to read it; and if you can get across the rind of it, will find somewhat to interest you. Glück und Segen [Good luck and blessings] always! Yours most truly
T. Carlyle

The past twenty-five years have seen some pretty seismic shifts in my life. I've gone from freelance writing to a career in criminal prosecution, and then managed to combine both fields. I've evolved from a stay-home soccer mom intimidated by the thought of leading a group of first-grade Brownie Girl Scouts to representing the State in criminal court proceedings. I've beaten back a life-long fear of public speaking enough to address law school classes, writers' conferences and the state Supreme Court. My latest book—When the Shoe Fits: Essays of Love, Life and Second Chances, which debuts August 1 on Amazon—chronicles some of these adventures.
The turning point in my career occurred nineteen years ago while I was taking jumping lessons in a horseback riding arena. After clearing a particular fence, I felt that something was fundamentally "off" in the way I was balancing in the saddle. I had nearly lost a stirrup on the landing. Nevertheless, my instructor announced that I was doing just fine. She insisted that I trust her judgment and take the fence again rather than practice on a lower one until I found the root of the problem. The result of that second jump was a broken back (though I didn't know it at the time) and three months in a body cast. Once the breath-stealing pain finally started to fade a little, I vowed that I would never again ignore my gut feelings regarding a course of action. That "little voice" inside me would never be stilled again.
After the accident, I left a thirteen-year career as a newspaper journalist and magazine writer, and went to law school, balancing four children and a marriage on life-support. I wrote about it for MORE.com. For a while it seemed as though I had made the leap to a whole new life. But I've learned that, if we're really living, we're always learning and doing something new. There's rarely a "before" and "after" that are completely unrelated. "Reinvention, or, as I like to think of it, "evolving," is life. Here's what else I've learned:
1. We can do more than one thing well at a time. When I started law school, I was convinced that the creative side of my life would be gone forever, left behind in the wake of this new and demanding passion. But I still loved to write, so I became a blogger, and then an author. And then I took up digital photography. I can't imagine giving up any of these passions—and I don't have to.
2. Our personal history can be a source of strength. At forty, I wasn't a traditional law student. My youngest was starting kindergarten. I was absolutely terrified at the outset, but when the time came for me to take those all-or-nothing semester exams, I knew that I had more toughness and resilience than any three twenty-somethings put together.
3. The right shoes can boost our confidence, catch an opponent off guard, or empower us to try something new. I know this sounds strange, but I'm convinced it's true! I bought my first pair of spike heels at the age of 48. The first day I wore them to the office, the sheepishly admiring compliment that burst from a male colleague was an enlightening "eureka" moment for me! Women who are older than me often tell me they danced the night away in spike heels when they were young and gave them up by the time they're fifty. I just got it backwards. But spike heels aren't the only kind of shoes that can spark transformation. A pair of black leather motorcycle boots took me into an entirely new realm of possibilities. I've come to see many parallels between shoes and life. For example, when I find shoes that work for me, I take care of them so they'll last. The same lesson holds true for other things or people I value. Also, even though something may still technically "fit," if I've outgrown it emotionally, I give myself permission to move on.

It's time for Canada's commercial seal hunt to end.
Every spring, seal pups between 3 weeks and 3 months of age are brutally shot, clubbed and skinned. Their carcasses are left to rot on the ice or dumped into the ocean.
Seals are dying needlessly for an industry that wouldn't exist but for government subsidies. Most of the world no longer needs or wants seals products. Still the killing continues.
Canada's new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has a historic opportunity to end the commercial seal hunt once and for all.
Please take action today to save seals.
Tell Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Dominic Leblanc to develop a plan to buy out commercial sealing licenses, and end the commercial seal hunt now.
A quick note from you today can help save seals. We have prepared a template email for you to send as is, or with your own respectful comments.

Once a year I wake up to an emptyish inbox and it take me a few minutes to realize that it's not a global campaign of "nobody talk to that farmer Phil today" but yet another Thanksgiving. Eerily quiet as my buddies in the US of A will be busy deep frying turkeys and relaxing. So not much point in me rattling on about saving the planet, data center energy efficiency or self service software deployment even..
Luckily, being a farmer means that I always have a few pig/cow/sheep pictures up my sleeve, and last weekend my old friend from the Microsoft days Dave Follant, who also works for 1E ,came to visit us on the farm with his family. Timing was great, as I'd just taken delivery of a new boar and some sows for him to frolic with..the boar I mean, not Dave..
We're looking for a name for the old boy, and contenders so far are Homer and Fiddler. Hmm, not sure yet but if you would care to come up with a name please feel free to drop me a line! Here he is.
It's also been a fairly busy Summer for the Galloway cattle, with 8 new arrivals including this little chap who is shaping up nicely into a breeding bull for the future.
Of course I can't leave out the sheep, and we recently took on 50 Herdwick lambs from high up in the hills of the Lake District. They will stay with us for the winter as we have more grass here – before returning in the spring. Cute aren't they! Taste great too…
Normal service will be resumed tomorrow, with more Power Management tales, but for now, have a great Thanksgiving.

Things are still tense between Adam Lind and Chelsea Houska and especially between Adam and Chelsea's dad Randy. A sneak peek preview of the "Teen Mom 2" reunion, posted on OK! Magazine on Monday, March 31, shows Adam arguing with Chelsea and Randy about whether he is as bad as the show portrays him to be. When Chelsea and Randy say that he really has behaved like an "a**hole," Adam defends himself by bringing up Chelsea's past promiscuity.
The reunion sneak peek shows Adam saying that he behaved wrongly because of the way that he was treated by Chelsea. He claims that when Chelsea was pregnant with Aubree, she slept with his friend. He also brings up the fact that Chelsea slept with his brother, something which Chelsea and Randy clarify happened before she met him.
Adam also lashes out at Randy for mocking him on social media, such as making fun of his receding hairline.
Unlike at other past reunions, Chelsea doesn't cry over Adam. Randy himself recently tweeted that his daughter has become stronger.
"You get to see a new side of Chels in this reunion #strong #notears #takesnoshit," he tweeted on Monday, March 31.
Part one of the reunion airs on Tuesday, April 15th at 11 p.m. Part two airs the following week, on April 22nd at 11 p.m.

CINCINNATI — Uniform supplier Cintas Corp. is transitioning companywide to a more environmentally friendly detergent.
In conjunction with Washing Systems LLC, Cintas has begun introducing Structure at its U.S. facilities. The product's environmentally friendly and biodegradable components are free of phosphates and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), which have been found in some instances to alter the oxygen and metallic levels found in the environment.
"Cintas is committed to being a good environmental steward and seeks to help our customers and communities make positive impacts on the environment in any way we can," says Scott Farmer, Cintas CEO.
In 2008, the company transitioned to detergents free of nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE). Two years later, the Environmental Protection Agency issued an Action Plan Summary to eliminate use of NPE from all industrial applications and consumer products.
Once the latest transition is complete, Cintas will employ washing standards that are entirely NPE-free, phosphate-free and EDTA-free at all of its 175 uniform laundry facilities throughout North America, the company says.

Sometimes we overlook the process of leveling our professions and the amount of money/time we waste either gathering the materials or outright buying them at inflated prices on the auction house. We are the same people who level a character and post our items for the lowest value or worse, with whatever auctioneer automatically determines for that item to be the normal value. We're not only getting robbed blind but we're giving ammunition to our robbers! Let's change this mentality, shall we?
Bidding on Mithril Ore/Bars
Bidding is an important part of playing the Mithril game. If you make an effort to search this ore during your resale scans then you will often find a few up for the low bid, high buyout price range. Place a bid and go back to playing the game. If you're lucky you will end up with some very cheap Mithril, if not, you'll get your money back. Don't be a fool and tie all your money into this stuff either, in case you don't have all that much. It will take time not only to win the bids, but also to sell the ore and bars later on.
Selling Your Items
Since you won your items at a bid, you have the luxury of selling them at the normal value or for an inflated price. Make your decision based on how quickly you want your gold back and how much competition is currently present. Be sure not to flood all your winnings up at once and also try to separate your items into the easiest stack to sell. That could be one at a time, a stack of 5, 20, etc. Mithril bars are used in a quest that requires one bar, so just sell those one at a time. Mithril ore is used by prospectors or blacksmiths, so sell in stacks of 10 (divisible by both 2 for blacksmiths and 5 for prospectors).
NOTE: Currently the wow gold guide is selling for $27 and it will go back up to $37 at the end of today. Get your guide while you can at this fantastic low price. With the success of 20kleveling thus far, there are plans to possibly increase even further by the end of the year. I want to give fair warning to you all as JMTC fans before this happens.
Also, if you haven't checked out the wow coaching program, you're missing out on an awesome one on one resource.

In almost 2 months, the Harry Potter saga which inspired a full generation, will finally come to a close. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will hit theaters July 15, 2011. Since his first appearance in the movie, Daniel Radcliffe alias Harry Potter, became a superstar of the big screen.
Now let's talk about the man himself – or may I say, the boy ? … I think you know already where I stand with twinky boys… for Cock's sake… really not my cup of tea ! But I know that some of you like the young fresh boyish look. And I'm sure that some you fantasized about humping the "round glasses boy ". So, what do you think ? Would you use your magic wand on him ? Would you do him ?
(follow the jump to see the famous magician naked or click here to see other celebs)
Ummmm I wouldn't do him.. I will let him do me lol there's something about him that I like;however I don't like twinks nor boys..
I like twink poyes ok, but I don't think I'd do Harry Potter (and what's with all the fur on his belly? *shudder*).
BTW the nude is a photoshop job.
he has a beautiful uncut dick. i would suck his magic wand anytime!!!
He's smokin hot!
I'd pimp him at the truckstop! Make him my low dollar ho!
oh yeah he'll have the best sex of his life lol…. and mines too. he's hot!
I would do him. He has a nice body even if I am not into the age range.
I agree with RicanCutie, I would probably like to have him do me. There is an assurance about him, a confidence.
I'd do him. I love a twink!
Absolutely!… Without passing Hogwarts, without collecting £200, I would go directly to the Griffindor dorm with Daniel Radcliffe!
yes i would. he makes my heart flutter.yum yum
I would love to be his bitch
Id do him for sure, he's more of a man now than a boy
Hell yes I Would.. A handsome face, beautiful body.. Two kinds of people in the world A: the people who WOULD DO Daniel B: The people who say they would'nt and Would if their friendfs dont know about it
hell yeah! always thought he was cute, but then he grew up and turned into a hottie! Now if only we could get Tom Felton to join in the fun…
I'm a 36 yo Blk guy, and frm da dirty dirty! And as much as I love young white guys, I would have to pass young Mr. Potter up!! Dnt get me wrong he iz cute and all, I guess he just ain't or dnt appear to be as rugged as I like my tighty whities, maybe if he do like da late handsome Heath Ledger, and appear as a rugged gay cowboy in a movie… then he mite get my attention! Lol
I'd do him in a minute! He's got a nice bod that begs a tongue to roam all over him.I'd love to tastew his load.
Oh heck NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
he looks weird
Daniel is one of the sexiest guys in the spotlight and given the chance, I would do him in a heart beat. I love is face bone structure and if I ever got the opportunity to meet him, I would just freeze up and probably wouldn't get anything out to say. Oop!! Now we all know that's not going to happen. I'm never shy about anyone I'm totalling interested in.
I would not do him, but he could sure do me as long as he wanted to. I have always like him, and really like the younger guys.
Yes, hot hot hot! Nice package. Who would have thunk it!!
I would definitely do him, lusted for him for a long time 🙂 and have naked pics of him from Equus.
No matter what anyone say he is goregeous the twink face and nice refined body I would love for him to do me love uncut dick and the accent just grabs me with all emotions
I'd do him… I'd do him so hard! 🙂
Yea… he's got a big cock!
yeah i think i would. i've avoided twinks for a long time and just last month I was "stalked" by one who wanted a fuck daddy. I gave in and it was an excellent fuck on both ends and he has asked to see me when classes end this spring
He is fucking hot! I love twinks and would let him do me anytime.
Hell yeah! I would do him then let him do me all night long!
Hell Yeah I would do him…and make him do me.
Yeah I would do him for sure. I would feel like a perv while doing it but oh yeah he is a very attractive young man!
I would rather have him do me- it's always good for my ego when a younger man shows interest in me. But generally twinks don't have anything to do with non-twinks (real men).
In a heartbeat…as long as he's the bottom!! Not much into twinks, but something hot about his thighs and ass!
hell yes. id lick every inch of his sexy body, starting with his hairy pitts. YUMMY
Oh hell yes… I haven't bottomed in years but just say the word.. and would love to ram all I have up his boy hole with him yelling more daddy more… …
Hell yeah I would do him and have him do me!! What a hottie
I'd do him and let him do me as long as it was bareback so we could feel our sex.
Hmmmm Daniel Radcliffe yes, in a heart beat. Yes he's a bit twinkish, but he's also very nicely built. Now the idea of doing the character of Harry Potter…nah, too young and definitely projected to hold that young image deliberately so.
He's kind of cute, but I'd rather have him do me, I think.
I saw Daniel up close and personal(VERY up close) in Equus two years ago on broadway. I can assure you he is a wet dream in person and nothing like the nerdy charactor in Harry Potter. A definite YES
hell yeah id do him shoot he could do me even. hes one id NOT kick out of bed for any reasons
I would do him in a heartbeat!!!!
would do him as i drove my 8,5cut deep in him
That pic is a fake. There are are real ones out there from when he did Equus, but that pic isn't one of them. For one- he is not uncut. Saw the play from the 4th row, and got a VERY good view. Still, he is VERY hot and yeah, I'd do him.
Yes, he is very handsome and quite the charmer. Cheers!
Its hard to say but for the man himself I think I'd enjoy a nice flip flop session, where be both kiss deeply as he enters me from behind, and leaves a magic potion that Professor Snape & Slughorn would both be proud of. And then as I am entering his furry little ass and just about to explode deep inside him, who should come in but Ron(Rupert)and Draco(Tom). As Ron says sorry mates, but I caught this wanker watching from the common room. we agree his punishment for starters is to suck off Ron first, And we all take turns fucking the cute Draco Malfoy, until he shoots a load of cum equal to what we left in his ass and what Ron left in his mouth. 😉 Deep down I think he always lusted for Harry's wand and he finally got what he wanted and then some
Yes I would love to suck on the nice uncut cock he has and savior every drop of his cum as he deposited it in my mouth.
There is something hot about this fine young man
Yes, I would do anything and everything with him!!!
a ittle young and twinkish for me but i'm always a sucker for a hairy belly and nice pubes. very hot.
Oh, fuck yea. I jacked it countless times when I first saw that picture of him from Equus. I don't for one second believe it's fake. Mmmmmmmm…thinking of jacking it again.
you bet I would!
Puh-leeze… Get in line…Right behind me. rofl
Absolutely. Young white boys are not my type but he's a total hottie. And whoever had a problem with the fur… get over it!!! As for the nude pic… when that came out, the word was that it wasn't him at all, but was faked. What's the deal?
Hell yes – in a heartbeat… take him slowly – doggy style first and enter him with ease building up to a passionate pounding… every position I know and then some… don't care if he's multi-orgasmic – I am and would love to load him up over and over and over again.. come on Daniel – let's get naked and fuck !
Omg I have had the biggest crush on him since the first time I ever saw him he is georgious I would love to lick him all up and down swallow his hot warm man juice and pump my rock hard dick up his tight ads I would Fuck the shit out of his face and jizz in his throat. Im not usually a bottom but id let him Fuck my ass as hard and fast as he wants I love him!!!"
I think he is amazingly hot and yes, I would do him!
Hell yeah id do him twice.
all night long
id do him HARD!
dorks, but he is quite fetching in an average guy way
People he is over the age of 21 !! He has the same build as i do so i think it would be a blast he is one hot fucking man !!
i would milk him dry. then i would lick his hot ass clean.
I love his accent, I'd suck him real good like the sucker I know I am…& I'd let him do me, as long as he wanted to. 🙂 I have a thing for guys with accents and I've always thought Harry Potter (Daniel) was so cute!!
Definitely, he is hot, and from what I have seen in interviews has a really nice personality that adds to his attractiveness.
i will take a pass on this one guys. frankly i find him over rated. over generalized and hardly worth the effort. why have some one that every one else has had in their minds. he is almost as pointless as edward. lol and forget harry and except hairy.
At times I find him handsome and I'd consider it … but only if he was gay (which he isn't).
BTW, as has already been stated here (only once, oddly), the nude pic you've posted for him is a widely acknowledged fake; think that should be emphasized.
Steve: who cares if it's fake or real !?
Yup, repeatedly…without batting an eyelash!
Would do him anytime and if he wants to "69", that would be nice also
I have already done him several times (in my mind & wettest dreams)… not the child/boy, of course, but the young man/boy that he has become!!!
I'd admire his body, it is hot, but I wouldn't do him. I would hire him to serve cocktails at my next party, wearing just a cockring. He needs a touch of a butch upgrade!
of course EVERYONE would most likely 'do' him for one reason or another. The "nude" pic is a famous photoshop edit- it is NOT a nude of d.r.
No. I saw him in Equus. He doesn't have hat I crave.
yes i will only if he give me a million dollars lol
Hell ya, take him to a vacation cabin and be naked all weekend. wow would we have fun
He is really talented (See him in How to Succeed.. currently on Bway.
I saw him in Equus…he didn't look uncut to me…Was it makeup?
I would absolutely not have sex with him. First off he's uncut and second he's got a hairy belly. Both are non-starters.
I would massage every each of his body and make him cum multiple times, he is very hot!
HELL YEA I DO HIM!!!!! hot little papi,plus i let him do me tooo and i dont let many do me…i wnt taste the potter:)
Although I prefer older MEN, he is a cutie. So why not? Bet he has some nice feet too. 🙂
yes I would do him also. I would love to suck on that and lick his butt. then he could do me too.
i would do Daniel three or four times. and he can bring along his friend Rupert too.
he is cute but just not the type i like
yeah i do him in heart beat chain to bed keep nake plow him over and over he one cute and hadsome twink
of course i would do him! every hour on the hour, 24/7 for a week!
HELL YEAH< daniel is a hot twink i'd fuk him good
I think for me the attraction lies in several places: 1) the accent; 2) his inteliigence and personality; 3) natural body – not pumped up; and 4) kissability.
He's definitely on the "hot list"….
Sometimes its the wand that choses the wizard 😉
id do him nd den ill ride him alnite…
Yes… i mean look at his eyes and how beautiful he is. Not to mention he comes across as very gay friendly if not a latent homosexual in some of his interviews, especially when flat out asked about gay stuff. He's handsome, intelligent, and seems to be making a good transition into an adult movie star. also, i saw them naked photos and video of him in that play, he ain't got nothing to be ashamed of.
Next movie should be Harry Potter and the british obsessed power bottom who threw the booty back at him.
Hell yes! But he'd have to keep that sheepish attitude at bay. He's all grown up and I'd love to hang out man to man with him!
I would in a heartbeat, me and him are about the same age and i love english man. They have a way with their tongues!And you know wat they say,… uncut men bottom better! Ha

I have a point layer with multiple data points in QGIS, but I want to add some extra data points to it and adjust some info that we missed because the ground was wet and we needed to go around it. I can't figure it out. I would think you would go in edit mode and have an option to add points, but can't find it.
You are now good to go. Points will be added wherever you click so long as your layer is highlighted in the layers-list. You can save your edits at any time by clicking on the little disk icon in the Digitizing toolbar (between the pen icon and three dots icon). When you are finished, toggle editting off by clicking on the pen icon again. If you toggle digitizing off without saving, you will be prompted to save your edits.

Challenging food can encourage appetite, spirit and even togetherness. In megibung (shared meals) tradition, it is started by bitter flavor like that of star fruit leaf vegetable. Next, it is followed by other nicer flavor. Meanwhile, this delicacy attempts to present similar flavor with grated coconut spice. It combines distinctiveness of bitter gourd, fried peanut and small crispy fried or grilled anchovy being familiar seafood with Balinese life. As religious community, the Balinese also present this food for elements of their oblation.
Ingredients needed is 100g small anchovy, 1 pc bitter gourd (slice thinly), 100 g peanut. There are certain spices also need to be prepared such as 1 cup of grated grilled coconut, 2 grilled small chilies, 1 clove shallot (grilled), 2 large chilies (grilled), 1 slice kencur (grilled), ½ tsp salt and 2 pcs kaffir lime leaf.
After that, slice thinly the bitter gourd and boil until cooked. Take out, sprinkle with salt and then squeeze. Next step is cleanse anchovy thoroughly and then fry. Similarly, do the same to peanut. Then, grind all spices finely, except for kaffir lime leaf, coarsely ground. Then, mix all ingredients and spices, salt, and grated coconut evenly. It is ready to serve now!Bitter gourd has many health benefit.
The vegetable is very low in calories, providing just 17 calories per 100g. Nevertheless, its pods are rich in phytonutrients like dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants.It notably contains phyto-nutrient, polypeptide-P; a plant insulin known to lower blood sugar levels. In addition, it composes hypoglycemic agent called charantin. Charantin increases glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in the cells of liver, muscle and adipose tissue.
Together, these compounds are thought to be responsible for reduction of blood sugar levels in the treatment of type-2 diabetes. Fresh pods are an excellent source of folates, contain about 72 µg/100g (Provides 18% of RDA). Folate helps reduce the incidence of neural tube defects in the newborns when taken by mothers during early pregnancy. So try dish delicious meal while enjoying its benefit. (BTN/punia)

The Celebrity Memoir Has become the breeding ground for TMI… among other parasites!
The 77-year-old actress, says she got crabs after a fling with former New York City Mayor John Lindsay in the 1960s.
In her new memoir, Henderson says she cheated on her husband after the also-married Lindsay put the moves on her at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Henderson recalls waking up the next morning at home and seeing "little black things" crawling on her bed and body. After a call to the doctor, Henderson found out she had pubic lice.
Lindsay, who was the mayor of New York from 1966 to 1973, sent a note of apology and flowers. "Guess I learned the hard way that crabs do not discriminate but cross over all socioeconomic strata," she says. "He must have had quite the active life. What a way to put the kibosh on a relationship."
Lindsay died in 2000. So obviously isn't here to defend himself, or his Crabs.

My husband and I just got married in March. We are living in a small condo that my husband had bought about 5 years, when the housing market was at it's peak. He bought it for 110,000 and we are at 100,000 on the mortgage. We checked into the value of the home because we want to start a family and buy/rent a bigger place. The value is $54,000. We also have about 35,000 in credit cards between the two of us. We have tried everything to get out of this house, get our cc's interest rate down, but nothing is being done.
What can we do to get out of our house or something with our mortgage and our debt?

10 Creepy Vintage Valentines
People like to complain that ValentineŌĆÖs Day is too commercial, that itŌĆÖs all an excuse to make us buy overpriced chocolate and flowers. Well buck upŌĆöwe may be wasting our money, but at least weŌĆÖre not traumatizing our loved ones! Because based on these ValentineŌĆÖs cards from the 1940s and earlier, thatŌĆÖs what the holiday used to be all about. It's Valentine's day so here is a a light-hearted look at this special day of love.
The Valentine card you give says a lot about you. A handmade card says youŌĆÖre thoughtful, a Batman card says youŌĆÖre rad, and this card says youŌĆÖre going to kidnap your lover and perform experiments on them in your basement laboratory.
Look at . . . her? It? She/he is half vampire, half evil doctor and all terrifying. Anyone who can do that with their mouth is either Gene Simmons or a monster, and you shouldnŌĆÖt have sex with either one. The ŌĆ£secret formulaŌĆØ theyŌĆÖre working has to be some sort of love potion, which is just a polite term for rape juice. If you get this Valentine, just run. DonŌĆÖt stop to ask questions, or it will already be too late.
Dude, look at yourself. ThereŌĆÖs a reason she built a wall, youŌĆÖre dressed like Captain Sex Offender. If you need a magic ray to get access to your loved one, sheŌĆÖs not playing hard to getŌĆösheŌĆÖs playing ŌĆ£traumatized victim.ŌĆØ
Her expression says it all. SheŌĆÖs not in love, sheŌĆÖs trying to calculate her best escape route while she still has time. Superhero themed ValentineŌĆÖs cards were even more popular in the past than they are today, but based on this one they probably released clouds of knockout gas.
Look, IŌĆÖm not here to question how you express your love. If you and your partner like to dress as sailors and tie each other up while adorable mice and chicks watch, thatŌĆÖs none of my business. But please, please leave your kitten out of it. Nothing ruins a night alone with your special someone quite like the SPCA busting down your door.
It doesnŌĆÖt help that the cat is terrified. Sure, at first glance he seems happy enough about the situation heŌĆÖs in, but look closer. Never mind the Exorcist-esque contortions needed to rotate his head like thatŌĆöthereŌĆÖs someone behind him, theyŌĆÖre coming closer, and he is terrified. Whoever put him in that position is either not playing nice or has a serious misunderstanding of the idea that cats enjoy playing with string.
Sorry, sweetheart, but the only thing you need to be surrounded with is prison bars, and lots of ŌĆśem. I donŌĆÖt know what laboratory you escaped from (the vampireŌĆÖs?), but love should be the last thing on your mind. Focus on the pitchfork wielding mob thatŌĆÖs no doubt chasing you down and cursing you as a blasphemy against nature.
This 1936 Valentine gets weirder the longer you look at it. Where are her feet? TheyŌĆÖre not in her shoes. Why is her dress clearly made for a much larger woman? Did she murder her creator and steal her clothes? Is this the grim origin of the ŌĆ£duckfaceŌĆØ that now plagues Facebook profiles worldwide? So many questions, so little time to answer them before you run screaming in horror.
WhŌĆ" why does he have light bulbs for eyes? Are those light bulbs? Whatever they are, donŌĆÖt look at them. One way or another, they will destroy you.
I shouldnŌĆÖt criticize the poor guy though, because heŌĆÖs obviously in agonyŌĆölook at the mouth, locked in a silent scream that will never end. ItŌĆÖs like heŌĆÖs a robot that was taught to kill but learned how to feel pain. Hunting and other ŌĆ£manlyŌĆØ activities were common themes in old-timey ValentineŌĆÖs cards, but that doesnŌĆÖt even begin to explain whatŌĆÖs going on in this one.
This poor creature needs to be put out of his misery for the safety of all. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm out hunting for a ValentineŌĆØ isnŌĆÖt a cute metaphor, heŌĆÖs literally hunting the most dangerous game. ŌĆ£Are you ŌĆśgameŌĆÖ?ŌĆØ indeedŌĆöŌĆ£Because I am going to shoot you, because I am a killbot. Ha. Ha. Ha,ŌĆØ is how the text would finish if there was more room.
Look, thereŌĆÖs no way around thisŌĆöhis cannon looks like a penis. DonŌĆÖt accuse me of being a pervert, they knew exactly what they were doing here. If you think of a cannon you picture a black one, right? So why is his flesh colored, and rather strategically positioned? ItŌĆÖs ŌĆ£loadedŌĆØ alright, and itŌĆÖs clearly ready to fire. What, pray tell, is it firing? Well, letŌĆÖs just say IŌĆÖm willing to bet thatŌĆÖs not an ellipsis, but rather the word ŌĆ£juiceŌĆØ after the censors got to it.
Also, is it just me, or is the cannonŌĆÖs barrel twisted? Whether you think of it as a literal cannon or symbolism for the most well-endowed little boy in history, it shouldnŌĆÖt look like that. If someoneŌĆÖs going to fire his ŌĆ£loveŌĆØ at you, you at least want a proper delivery method.
Guns used to show up all the time on ValentineŌĆÖs cards, which makes senseŌĆökids played with toy guns a lot back in the day, and cultural attitudes towards firearms werenŌĆÖt what they are now.
That being said, itŌĆÖs difficult to read this as anything other than a threat. I donŌĆÖt care what the context isŌĆöunless youŌĆÖre trying to seduce a member of the NRA, this will come across as creepy. It might as well read, ŌĆ£Please be mine, because IŌĆÖm willing to use force if necessary.ŌĆØ And yes, that may get you love, but probably not the long term romance youŌĆÖre hoping for.
Okay, I may have been exaggerating on the previous entry, but thereŌĆÖs no hyperbole hereŌĆöthis is a pro-rape Valentine. ThereŌĆÖs simply no other way to read it. Good lord, can you imagine what your Valentine would think of you if you gave this to them? Trick questionŌĆöanyone who gives this doesnŌĆÖt care what they think, because theyŌĆÖre only using it as a distraction while they re-enact the portrayed scene. ŌĆ£Now will you be my Valentine?ŌĆØ sounds even scarier when itŌĆÖs being whispered to an unconscious body.
Was ŌĆ£youŌĆÖre so cute I could just eat you upŌĆØ a phrase that used to be taken literally? Or were people simply turned on by cannibalism and horror once upon a time? I donŌĆÖt know the answer, but does it really matter when all the potential explanations are equally terrifying? I wanted to dismiss this as some weird attempt at a dark joke, but it turns out ŌĆ£cannibalistic cardsŌĆØ is an entire genre.
Maybe before it was traditional to eat chocolate at ValentineŌĆÖs it was in vogue to eat human flesh. Or maybe WWII veterans were trying to work out their PTSD through the medium of cards. Perhaps this what prisoners made before they started working on license plates? We may never know.
A suicide themed Valentine is already inappropriate enoughŌĆöit doesnŌĆÖt help that the skunk isnŌĆÖt screwing around. A gun or a heavy rock would be enough for most people, but no, he needs both. And based on his facial expression, heŌĆÖs about five seconds away from using them. And this was made by Hallmark, a company so wholesome their business plan is hugs. I donŌĆÖt even want to think about what more risqu├® manufacturers would have produced.
Again, this was an entire genre, not a one-off by some clinically depressed Hallmark employee. Apparently it used to be that if you werenŌĆÖt on a ValentineŌĆÖs date you were either committing or trying to talk someone out of suicide.
Yeah, thatŌĆÖs right. If you canŌĆÖt find love today, there are countless sappy movies and clich├®d TV shows out there to assure you it will happen sooner or later. If you couldnŌĆÖt find love in the past? Kill yourself. ValentineŌĆÖs Day used to be hardcore.
