An Indiana witness at Jamestown reported watching a triangle-shaped UFO fly low overhead after watching other odd lights in the sky on March 12, 2014, according to testimony in Case 54650 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was driving to her mother's home about 11:30 p.m. along Highway 100 south when a star-like object in the sky was first noticed.
"I had seen this same 'star' a few months before and asked my sister and mom what it was," the witness stated. "My mom said it looked like an airplane but then realized it had to be a planet since it was stationary yet bigger than a star. I didn't think much of it driving home but I decided to be daring. As I pulled into my mom's driveway I stopped diagonally halfway in her driveway and halfway in the road facing my headlights directly toward the object in the sky and I flashed my brights twice. Right after the second time flashing my brights, the object disappeared and seemed to turn into a very small object (like a small plane) and slowly flew away. It changed from a planet-like changing color orb to an aircraft four times smaller that had a faint blinking red light."
The witness then entered her mother's house.
"My mom arrived at the house around 11:50 p.m. and I invited her to look out of the back French doors to see if the planet-like object would show up again..The night sky was clear of clouds but it did have an occasional plane flying normal routes above."
The two did not have to wait long.
"About 30 seconds after looking out of the back doors we both witnessed a huge triangle-shaped aircraft that flew directly over our house. We watched in shock scrambling to try to get our phones/cameras to take a picture. I got an iPhone video but you can't even see the moon, better yet a flying object. The object was at least as big as a large commercial aircraft, maybe a lot bigger depending on how low it actually was flying. It was flying around half the speed of a commercial aircraft and it was flying extremely low compared to all of the other planes/ helicopters I've seen."
The witness got a good look at the undercarriage of the triangle-shaped object.
"The craft color blended in with the dark black night sky. It had a red (non -flashing) light in the middle or front bottom of the craft - with white pulsating/flashing lights on the two back corners of the triangle. The white lights were flashing or pulsating slightly out of sync but they kept blinking in a steady pattern. And it seemed to have really, really small pinpoint-like white lights outlining the craft making it obvious that it was a triangle and not a cigar shape with two wings like an airplane. It flew directly from north to south and it disappeared around two to three minutes later into the tree line."
The object was not seen again. No photos or videos were submitted with the MUFON report, which was filed on March 13, 2014. The witness did provide one illustration of the object.
Jamestown is a town in Boone County, IN, population 958. Indiana has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Indiana had 6 UFO reports in February 2014 - the 21st highest reporting state - while California had 59 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.
You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page. The above quotes were edited for clarity. If Indiana MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will post an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Born: 1910.
Died: 1980.03.01.
However within TsKBEM there were no relative priorities for the projects competing for resources. The R-9 and RT-2 ICBM's, the orbital, circumlunar, and lunar orbiter versions of Soyuz, the LK lunar lander, the N1 booster -- all were 'equal'. It seemed folly to be pursuing the orbital ferry version of the Soyuz when no space station had to be funded. But it was felt flying the spacecraft would solve reliability questions about the design, so it was pursued in parallel with the L1 and L3 versions.
After the death of Korolev in January, a letter was sent to the Central Committee requesting that Mishin be appointed director of OKB-1. Ustinov tried to line up support for Mishin, but by the time of the first first Saturn IB orbital flight on 26 February 1966, no decision had been made. America was progressing on the path to the moon, but Russia was stalled. An alternate that had been considered was Sergei Okhapkin, another Deputy Chief Designer at TsKBEM. But Okhapkin knew only spacecraft, he had never developed complete launch-booster-spacecraft systems. By the time Mishin was appointed, it was clear that the race was lost. The American's planned their first Saturn V launch in September 1967 and their first manned flight in 1968. Mishin could not expect trials of the LK lunar lander until 1969 at the earliest. There were insufficient funds allocated, and the schedule had no allowance for test flight failures. Ustinov, Morozhin, and Keldysh pointed fingers as to who had presented such unrealistic schedules to the Politburo. Keldysh now supported unmanned robot lunar landers in development by Babakin. Even these would not land until 1970, allowing three years of flight trials to achieve reliability. Khrushchev, it seemed, was to blame for such enormous unaffordable projects. This in turn put Ustinov in danger, as Khrushchev's point man for space.
Keldysh proposed that further work on the L1 be abandoned, and Proton boosters instead be used to launch the Ye-8-5 lunar soil return robot spacecraft being developed by Babakin. Babakin had been accelerating this programme since the beginning of 1968 with the support of Keldysh, even though it would only return around 100 g of lunar soil, versus the tens of kilograms the Apollo manned flights would return. However it now offered an interesting possibility - he proposed obtaining lunar soil and returning it to earth before an American manned landing. The government's organs of mass communication would say that the Soviet Union's lunar program only consisted of robot probes, emphasising that his was much safer and that Russia would never risk it's citizen's lives for mere political sensation.

[PATCH 3/3] ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: fix LED handling on older ThinkPads
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh <at> hmh.eng.br>
The less tested codepaths for LED handling, used on ThinkPads 570, 600e/x, 770e, 770x, A21e, A2xm/p, T20-22, X20 and maybe a few others, would write data to kernel memory it had no business touching, for leds number 3 and above. If one is lucky, that illegal write would cause an OOPS, but chances are it would silently corrupt a byte. The problem was introduced in commit af116101, "ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add sysfs led class support to thinkpad leds (v3.2)". Fix the bug by refactoring the entire code to be far more obvious on what it wants to do. Also do some defensive "constification". Issue reported by Karol Lewandowski <lmctlx <at> gmail.com> (he's an lucky guy and got an OOPS instead of silent corruption ). Root cause of the OOPS identified by Adrian Bunk <bunk <at> kernel.org>.

Georgia Sentate panel OKs bill to ease access to medical marijuana
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Thu, March, 13th 2014 by THCFinder
ATLANTA – A Georgia Senate panel this week unanimously approved a newly-revised bill that would legalize marijuana derivatives in Georgia for treatment of patients with cancer, glaucoma and seizure disorders.
The Senate Health and Human Services Committee amended House Bill 885, the original House version of the medical marijuana bill, to make it easier for Georgians to gain access to cannabidiol (CBD) oil, a non-psychoactive derivative of marijuana.
The major change would grant immunity from prosecution in Georgia for possession of CBD oil obtained legally in a state that permits the use of medical marijuana.
Twenty states have legalized medical use of marijuana, and two states, Colorado and Washington, recently legalized recreational use.
The original HB 885 was sponsored by Rep. Allen Peake, R-Macon, who championed the legislation to help children who suffer from serious seizure disorders. CBD has proved effective in reducing the number and duration of seizures, according to parents and physicians.
Under the Senate committee version of the bill, children with seizures or patients with cancer or glaucoma could use CBD or other marijuana derivatives as soon as they were able to secure them from outside Georgia. And patients could take them directly without supervision by a Georgia physician or an academic medical center.
But there's still a legal catch if the bill is passed. Transporting any marijuana, medical or otherwise, across state lines is a federal crime. That means Georgia parents or adult patients would risk arrest by federal authorities if caught bringing CBD from another state, such as Colorado, where the oil is manufactured. Some Georgia families already have moved to Colorado to get legal access to the oil for their ailing children.

Poll: Americans View Marijuana As Less Harmful Than Sugar
Category: Culture | Posted on Thu, March, 13th 2014 by THCFinder
Americans believe that consuming cannabis poses less harm to health than does the consumption of tobacco, alcohol, or sugar, according to the findings of a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released today.
Respondents were asked which of the four substances they believed to be "most harmful to a person's overall health." Most respondents said tobacco (49 percent), followed by alcohol (24 percent) and sugar (15 percent).
Only eight percent of those surveyed said that they believed that marijuana was most harmful to health.
The poll possesses a margin of error of +/- 3.10 percent.
Commenting on the poll results, NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said: "These results once again reaffirm that an overwhelming majority of the American public understands that any potential risks associated with the use or abuse of cannabis are relatively minor to those associated with many other legal and regulated substances. Criminalizing cannabis and those who consume it responsibly is a disproportionate public policy response to what is, at worst, a public health issue but not a criminal justice concern."

Black Berry Kush - Indica
Category: Nugs | Posted on Thu, March, 13th 2014 by THCFinder
Blackberry Kush is a mostly Indica Kush with a strong blackberry smell and pink and red hairs. It truly lives up to its name, with a remarkably strong blackberry / piney / hashy smell. As a potent Indica, Blackberry Kush is couchlock weed, and so it is not recommended for high-activity moments.
The Entourage Effect Of Marijuana
Category: Culture | Posted on Thu, March, 13th 2014 by THCFinder
When Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a practicing neurosurgeon and the head medical correspondent for CNN released a documentary in which he completely about-faced his opinion on marijuana, stoners were shocked. Potheads and patients everywhere threw up their joints/bongs/whatever in celebration that such a prominent person in the media spotlight was not only speaking for marijuana but had recently spoken AGAINST the plant, showing others that people can change their opinions rather then believing nonsense for their whole lives. Now, Dr. Gupta has released a second installment in his marijuana series, an episode which includes an interesting take on what marijuana does to our brains.
The new documentary includes the journey of a scientist named Raphael Mechoulam. This man is responsible for determining the structure of CBD, the ingredient in cannabis that heals and helps to improve human life, even more so then THC. His discovery of CBD happened in 1963 and a year later, Mechoulam became the first person to isolate delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol. His team of scientists continued to isolate the compounds found in cannabis, furthering their knowledge of the previously mysterious plant. They discovered the first known endogenous cannabinoid, or the cannabinoids that our bodies produce on their own and named it "anandamide", which translates from Sanskrit to English as something like "supreme bliss", showing Mechoulam's feelings towards the plant.
At the age of 83, Mechoulam describes his "entourage effect" in the new CNN special. According to this incredibly smart man, the effect is exactly as follows;
" There are more than 480 natural components found within the cannabis plant, of which 66 have been classified as "cannabinoids." Those are chemicals unique to the plant, including delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiols. There are, however, many more, including:
-- Cannabigerols (CBG);
-- Cannabichromenes (CBC);
-- other Cannabidiols (CBD);
-- other Tetrahydrocannabinols (THC);
-- Cannabinol (CBN) and cannabinodiol (CBDL);
-- other cannabinoids (such as cannabicyclol (CBL), cannabielsoin (CBE), cannabitriol (CBT) and other miscellaneous types).
Other constituents of the cannabis plant are: nitrogenous compounds (27 known), amino acids (18), proteins (3), glycoproteins (6), enzymes (2), sugars and related compounds (34), hydrocarbons (50), simple alcohols (7), aldehydes (13), ketones (13), simple acids (21), fatty acids (22), simple esters (12), lactones (1), steroids (11), terpenes (120), non-cannabinoid phenols (25), flavonoids (21), vitamins (1), pigments (2), and other elements (9)."
Yes, I know you're probably stoned so in pothead terms, this basically means that the many different kinds of substances contained in the cannabis plant work together in order to give us the desired effect. The compounds work together to calm, relax, and enlighten humans, where as if they were alone, the same effect wouldn't be achieved. Think of it like this; by eating real fruits and veggies that are grown on a farm and harvested provides your body with a lot of really great vitamins that you need to function. You can get the same vitamins from taking a pill, but you get added benefits from eating the real fruit, as there are extra minerals and vitamins in skins and seeds. Many drugs seem to be made with single compounds, which as we study further, will be shown to be more then ineffective when fighting illness and disease. The multiple compounds of cannabis offer a far greater effect, as the multiple compounds have many added benefits.

Create DIY Home Winter Masks and Moisturize Dry Hair
This entry was posted on November 29, 2012.
If you're already suffering from a itchy scalp, dry ends, and hair that's losing its luster, you're most likely suffering from dry hair from the winter. The cold weather unfortunately strips your hair of its natural moisture and the result is dry tresses that makes you anxious to make your hair long and silky smooth again!
Avocado Coconut Milk Mask
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
Yogurt, Banana and Honey Mask
- 3 oz of plain yogurt (I use organic, but you can use whatever you have. You may need more or less depending on the length and thickness of your hair.)
- 1 banana
- 1/4 cup of honey
Mash up the banana using a fork or spoon and combine all 3 ingredients together to form a thick paste. Apply to hair and leave it on for an hour before rinsing off. It's best to put it on dry hair and thoroughly rinse it out in the shower, but don't shampoo. You can use this weekly if desired, or less often. It's recommended to apply this mask on your tresses only one day of the week so that your hair doesn't get overly greasy.
Now that you know two DIY home winter masks your hair will become shiny and beautiful again during the cold winter months. Be careful with how often you use the winter masks because some of the ingredients can cause oily tresses, especially honey and coconut oils.
If you're overly concerned with having oily hair only use the hair masks on days when you don't plan on going out. Also, be aware that the results may not show up for a few days, but when they do you'll have gorgeous hair that's shiny and full of life!

It was obvious to me for the following reasons:
1) Played by the same actor.
2) No change in facial makeup (the only difference between Sideous and Palpatine is that Sideous changes his voice slightly and has his eyes covered by the hood). When Sideous is seen from the side, his face looks EXACTLY like the Emperor's face in ROTJ when he is talking to Vader and the camera focuses on him in profile. The only change is that in ROTJ his chin is a little more wrinkled and pale.
3) In the Star Wars movie novelisation, they call him "Emperor Palpatine." Thus it's always been "Palpatine" that has been the official name of the Emperor. I didn't expect Lucas to change this major detail, even though it was never stated onscreen. Just like how the word "Sith" is never mentioned onscreen until Episode I. It's just one of those details that Star Wars fans always "knew."
4) Sideous makes constant references to "the Senate" as if he has control of it. Since Palpatine seems to be a manipulator and shrewd leader anyway, this makes perfect sense. Finally at the end of the film when Yoda and Windu are talking about "which was destroyed, the master or the apprentice" and the camera pans over to Palpatine and focuses right on his chin (the most visible part of Sideous's face when we see him).
5) And finally, they dress the same. Sideous in the shadows wears the cloak and broach thingy just like the Emperor does in the classic trilogy. When Palpatine is "deformed" he puts on the cloak though it's a slightly different than the one the Emperor wears in Episode VI. I don't recall if he has the broach thing on at that point in Episode III, though.
With the audio commentary for TPM being available in 2001, (iirc it was the Episode I commentary), Lucas comments on the DVD how he wanted people to recognize Darth Sideous by introducing him in a hologram, just like he introduced him in Empire Strikes Back. Emperor from ESB = Darth Sideous from TPM. (Unless I'm confused and he said this on the ESB commentary released in 2004, in reference to TPM, so somebody feel free to correct me).
Now beyond that in AOTC it's even more obvious, as more references are made to Sideous being on Coruscant and being happy about the war starting, etc.
Now the only "glitch" is that the Emperor in ROTJ has yellow and red "Sith eyes" (Darth Maul is the first person in Star Wars to demonstrate them to us after Palpatine) and prosthetics on his face to make him look ancient and Vampiric. He also has rotten teeth. Now we could have just imagined that he was a really old man and didn't take very good care of his health. The EU theorized that he used the Dark Side so much that his body decayed and aged faster than normal, forcing him to transfer his soul from one cloned body to the next.
In any case, we finally were shown absolutely that they were the same person all along in ROTS. Palpatine's face is disfigured by his own Force lightning somehow and we see his voice change back and forth between the Palpatine in TPM and the Emperor we know and love from ROTJ (and the cackle is now the same). His face is shown in profile when he first puts on his hood, and it looks just like the Emperor from ROTJ. They start referring to him as "Emperor." Vader starts calling him "My Master" or "My Lord." The transformation is complete!
But yes, I was 99.99% positive that Palpatine was always supposed to be the Emperor we saw later in the classic movies. Before I listened to the audio commentary I thought, well maybe 0.01% chance that Lucas will make them different people in some horribly contrived way just to throw everyone off and make a "big reveal" like Vader being Luke's father. I figure Lucas does this sort of thing, so it might happen. But then it was exactly what all these "they are clones of each other!" people EXPECTED, so it was extremely doubtful.
The only thing that to me was not "obvious" that a lot of people assumed, was that this "Darth Plagueis the Wise" was really Palpatine's master. Until I read the novelisation and the Visual Dictionary, I assumed he just made up the story in his ploy to trick Anakin into thinking the Sith had the answer to all his problems. It's sort of like how I assumed that Sifo-Dyas never really ordered the Clone Army in AOTC. It seemed obvious to me that Count Dooku simply assumed the identity of a dead guy and ordered the army in his name, with the Kaminoeans being none-the-wiser. Now it turns out that officially, Sifo-Dyas really did order the Clone Army, under the urging of Dooku, and then Dooku killed him (though Dooku recruited Jango Fett, under his Sith name Tyrannus as mentioned in the movie). That such a thing could happen to a "Prominent Member of the Jedi Council" without anybody knowing or figuring it out for 10+ years is pretty incredible.
Oh well... so much for subtlety!
Oh, I realized I forgot to directly address the opening post:
Was it always obvious that Palpatine was a Sith? No. Because when he was first introduced in the Star Wars novelisation (only mentioned in the movie) he was depicted merely as a scheming and corrupt politician. No indication that he had any force abilities whatsoever. We never saw him, he was merely a background figure mentioned a few times. Darth Vader was the only "Sith Lord" we knew of. Everybody thought so until Empire Strikes Back or possibly even Episode I (
Star Wars: Behind the Magic
from 1998, for example repeated the line that there was only ever one Dark Lord of the Sith at a time, and that was Vader!).
As soon as Empire Strikes Back came out, it was obvious that he had the Force, since he talked about sensing the future and a disturbance in the Force, etc. Though the term "Sith" is never used, we assume he is powerful in the Force, and a Dark Side user, since that's what Vader is. Is he a former Jedi? We are never told, though in ROTJ he makes disparaging remarks about Jedi so we assume if he was ever a Jedi, he's not one now, yet ANH makes references to Darth Vader being part of the Jedi or a former Jedi (Obi-Wan refers to himself as being "once a Jedi, the same as your father").
I forget if the ROTJ novelisation actually refers to Palpatine as a "Sith." It may, it may not. The EU authors were forbidden to write about the Sith for many years before TPM, so they used the term "Dark Jedi" instead, though the term Sith Lord was always connected with Vader specifically. Then they had those Tales of the Jedi comics which came up with a history for the Sith.
I guess we could put two and two together and assume that if Palpatine was Vader's master and they both used the Dark Side, they both must be Sith Lords. When Episode I comes out, it's clear that nobody ever thought Palpatine had the Force or was a Jedi (though he clearly had the Force in secret, never demonstrated in action until Episode III... though you'd think he must have used the Force to "cloud the perception" of the Jedi so they couldn't sense that this powerful being of the Dark Side was standing right there under their noses the whole time), so he wouldn't be a fallen Jedi.
Since he was the master of Maul, identified as a Sith, then it was clear from Episode I that he was a Sith. So he's always been a Sith, even if never stated onscreen, it makes sense from the other materials. Even if you just had Episodes V, VI and I, you could figure it out.

By JOE GORMAN | email@example.com
A National Transportation Safety Board proposal to lower the blood alcohol content to be considered driving drunk from 0.08 to 0.05 is meeting with skeptics in some quarters.
Lou Kennedy, owner of the Royal Oaks bar on Oak Street, said he does not think the new proposal would do much to cut down on drunken driving, and will only increase arrests for people accused of driving under the influence as well as cut down on alcohol sales.
He said hardcore drinkers will not be deterred by the lowering of the limit, but other customers will.
"People who drink, drink," Kennedy said. "It's the other people that come out. It's the husband and wife that go out to dinner and the wife will be afraid to have a glass of wine. It'll cut into alcohol sales."
The NTSB earlier this month recommended the limit be cut. It based the recommendation on the fact that 100 countries have a limit of 0.05 and they have far less accidents and fatalities from drunken drivers. It would equal one drink for a woman weighing 120 pounds and two drinks for a man weighing 160 pounds.
Youngstown Police Detective Sgt. Patricia Garcar runs the Accident
Investigation Unit for her department and said she does not believe lowering the limit will help to decrease the number of serious crashes.
She said in all the serious crashes with alcohol she's investigated usually the driver's limit is way over 0.08.
"I've never had one that low [0.05]," Garcar said. "It's been
significantly higher."
Campbell police Detective Sgt. John Rusnak also said he does not think lowering the limit would do much to curb drunken-driving accidents. He said serious accidents involving drunk drivers are often caused by people who are much over the legal limit.
"They're way over 0.10," Rusnak said.
He also said it would cause normal people who only wanted a drink or two to be afraid they were breaking the law — and it would not stop serious drinkers from getting drunk.
"A drinker's going to drink," Rusnak said.
Calls to the local Ohio State Highway Patrol posts were referred to spokeswoman Lt. Anne Ralston in Columbus.
She said troopers who pull a driver off the road they think is impaired weigh several factors before seeking a test for their blood-alcohol content.
She stressed that the proposal by the NTSB is just a recommendation and did not say either way if the
patrol supports or disapproves of the proposal.
Ralston said she remembers when the state limit was 0.10 before it was lowered, and the message to drivers is the same now as it was then: To make sure they think before they decide to drink and drive a vehicle.
John Lavanty, owner of Nicolinni's Ristorante in Austintown said he does not think the proposal would
affect his business that much because it does not have a bar that stays open all night. But he did add he could see it cutting into alcohol sales at places that have a large bar business.
Michael Pasquale, owner
of the Boulevard Tavern on Southern Boulevard in Youngstown, said such a change probably would not hurt his business much
because he does not sell hard liquor and most of his business is food.
He did say he could see businesses that cater to younger customers taking a hit, however.
"They'll take it on the chin," Pasquale said.
Kennedy of Royal Oaks said he thinks the proposal is nothing more than someone in the federal government having too much free time on their hands.
"It's just more legislation," Kennedy said. "It's somebody's job as a lawmaker to make up more laws."
U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson,
R-Marietta, said in an email he thinks drunken driving is a serious problem, but
individual states should study the NTSB recommendation to see if it is best for their
individual state.
"Drunk driving is a very serious issue, and determining the threshold at which point responsible behavior becomes impaired is both important and difficult," Johnson said.
State Rep. Sean O'Brien, D-Brookfield, is an attorney
and former Trumbull
County Prosecutor in Eastern and Central District courts. He said he does not think lowering the thres-hold would be a good idea because it would lead to more litigation.
He said lawyers would be handling more OVI cases and it would clog up the court system.
O'Brien said since he has been an attorney the limit has been lowered from 1.5 to 1.0 to 0.08 and he wondered low it could go.
"To keep lowering it you might as well be saying there's no drinking and driving at all," O'Brien said.
O'Brien said the measure is one he would probably
oppose at this time given all he knows if it ever came to the floor for a vote.
I have a better proposal which would not involve more police intrusion into our lives, reduces the risk of inadvertent violation of the law, and virtually cures the problem of drunk driving in very short order.
Instead of lowering the limit, raise the limit back to 0.10%
Don't increase enforcement efforts, simply change the penalties:
1st offense – Loss of license and all driving privileges for one year. No other possible sentence. No discretion, no mitigating circumstances, no consideration for school or employment. No driving, period.
2nd offense – Loss of license and all driving privileges for five years. No other possible sentence. No discretion, no mitigating circumstances, no consideration for school or employment. No driving, period.
3rd offense - Loss of license and all driving privileges for life. No other possible sentence. No discretion, no mitigating circumstances, no consideration for school or employment. No driving, period.
Driving (drunk, sober, or otherwise) while license is suspended as described above – life in prison with no possibility of parole. No other possible sentence, No discretion, no mitigating circumstances, no excuses. NO DRIVING, PERIOD.
Wouldn't this be wonderful? We could have police near almost any restaurant with a bar and, whoopee, income from a new checkpoint. So many freedoms are gradually being eroded as we sit idly by.
You do realize that people would just drive anyway with out a license.
If you revoked some one's license for the rest of their lives with no hope of getting it back they ll just drive illegally with out insurance.
You can't buy license plates without a driver's license. Buying license plates in a straw-man purchase to facilitate the habitual drunk driver's driving is punishable by jail time. That's the answer to MacGowan's objections. There's a paper trail all around the drunk driver who simply drives without a license. Whose car is he driving? They go to jail, too. Whose plates are on the drunk's car? They go to jail, along with the drunk. See how easy that is?
Or just ban bars and parties. That is what having a limit of .05 really is doing: making drinking a thing that people can only do alone at home.
Does designated driver, cab or limo mean anything to anyone??
O'Brien said to keep lowing it , you might as well be saying there is no drinking and driving at all...... hello, that is what it is now. You can blow below the legal limit and still get an OVI, because it is still driving under the influence. Big money maker is all it is!
dees2cents is correct. The 0.08% BAC limit is the presumptive limit for intoxicated driving. Someone can blow a lower amount but still fail field sobriety tests or show outward signs of intoxication. You can be arrested after taking on dose of Nyquil! Most accidents seem to occur when the driver is close to 0.2% BAC The limit should be raised back to 0.1%. I can tell you that I am far safer driving at 0.1% than other people that drive while yaking on a cellphone or texting.
From dees2cents: >> Big money maker is all it is! <<
Having a few drinks at the local pub never was much of a problem.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving made it a much larger issue. When the trial lawyers and local governments realized the revenue possibilities blessed by the shift in attitudes MADD et al had started, there was no going back.
Reducing the limit any further doesn't mean much....usually a genuine "drunk driver" is way over either number. Changing the rule from DWI to DUI already made it a catch all. Suspending license for super long periods of time (for many infractions) is ludicris (not the rapper) since they will simply drive anyway and take their chances. Making all laws mandatory is good for some things but can be a little dangerous for most......
you do realize it costs about $80,000 a year to imprison a person in jail. Assume a person has his license permanently revoked. He gets his friend to go and purchase a vehicle. So both of them go to jail. If they are in jail for a year each then you've spent $160,000 to keep non violent people locked up. For the same price you could have paid for 3 teachers or 3-4 Police Officers.
that is the total sum of the average number of inmates housed in the Mahoning County Jail (Non Federal inmates) then taking the total operating costs of the jail and dividing.
You have to provide 3 meals a day, pay the guards, provide Medical and Dental care, Psychiatric services, Court transportation costs, Heating, Electric, Water etc etc.
Well that is the official cost as reported by the jail. Take it up with them.

Playing with more energy than displayed in the morning session, the
On the heels of an erratic 15-point win this morning over the
Sophomore forward Marcus Williams scored a game-high 19 points and added seven rebounds and three steals in the victory. The 6-foot-7
Williams effort Saturday evening was emblematic of the entire UA squad, which bounced back nicely from a sub-par effort in the day's first game. He connected on 8-of-15 field goal attempts against UBC after hitting just 3-of-11 attempts earlier in the day.
Williams claimed to be more assertive, saying, "This morning's game was ugly. I tried to be more of a leader tonight and get us off to a good start."
The Wildcats led by a point, 11-10, at the 14:10 mark of the first half when they went on a 19-9 run over the next seven minutes and never trailed again.
The second half was more of the same as
From that point on
Hitting just 15-of-31 free throw attempts only compounded the problem.
"We did two things poorly tonight," said UA head coach Lute Olson. "We shot miserably from the free throw line and we turned it over way too many times. I thought defensively we did a really good job of forcing them to take tough shots and into a number of turnovers."
Junior guard Daniel Dillon had another strong performance Saturday, totaling 14 points on 4-of-8 shooting, to go with three rebounds.
"I'm more comfortable shooting the ball right now," Dillon explained. "I've got more freedom and I'm getting more minutes, so I'm doing what I can to help us win both offensively and defensively."

I don't know what has taken Instagram, or Facebook for that matter, to get off its asses and unleash Instagram for Windows Phone 8, but it looks like those days could soon be over.
A WMPoweruser has pointed out some remarks that Nokia's executive vice president, Chris Weber, who said that Instagram is finally coming to Microsoft's mobile OS, but he didn't provide any further details or a possible release window. Considering Instagram is one of the major apps that Windows Phone 8 is missing, you would think it would've been here by now.

As a self-proclaimed modern and sophisticated male, I embrace many things once reserved only for women. I've indulged in manicures, I've waxed my eyebrows and I exfoliate and moisturize regularly. Shaving my legs, however, is one step over the line.
It's not that I have anything against shaving. Not at all. I've been shaving my chest for years, because it serves a purpose. With a hairless chest, clothing feels more comfortable, and there's nothing more unsightly than chest hair poking through the buttonholes of your shirts. But when it comes to legs, I find it hard to believe that hairless legs would feel any more comfortable than legs with hair on them. Personally, my leg hair has never been a source of discomfort.
It is said that male swimmers shave their bodies because it makes them more aerodynamic. This is fine if your goal is to break the world record in the 500 meter freestyle, but for the average man it is unnecessary. Why would the typical American male need to be more aerodynamic anyway? So you can shave off 1/1000th of a second on your way to the office water cooler? Outside of competitive sports, there's no reason why being more aerodynamic would have any benefit in the real world.
Some men may argue that shaving the legs a matter of comfort. This argument may be true when it comes to shirts or underwear, but very few men out there find wearing pants uncomfortable because of leg hair. If this is the case, your legs must be extremely hairy or your pants must be extremely tight. Perhaps it is a combination of both.
Outside of Olympic swimming, I can see only a few reasons why it would be necessary for a man to shave his legs. If you are a bicyclist and your leg hair gets caught in your bike chain then, yes, it wouldn't be a bad idea to shave your legs. If your legs are so hairy that you trip over your own hair when you're wearing shorts, then you would be a good candidate for leg shaving. Outside of these rare circumstances, there is no reason for leg shaving.
My guess is that men who shave their legs do so because it was requested by a wife, girlfriend, or significant other. Throughout history, men have done downright stupid things in order to please a woman, but if your woman gets a thrill from seeing your hairless, knobby-kneed chickenlegs, there are obviously deeper issues that need to be resolved.
The decision to shave or not to shave the legs is one that should not be made lightly. If you opt to shave your legs and then decide that you made a terrible mistake, just remember that until the hair grows back in, you will be quite itchy. And that type of discomfort will easily outweigh any discomfort your hairy legs may have given you to begin with.

My Chase No-Cost Refinance Experience (It's Not A Scam)
About two months ago, I received a Fed Ex letter in the mail from Chase, the bank that serviced my home mortgage at the time. In it, Chase offered to do a no-cost refinance of my remaining mortgage balance at a rate almost 2% lower with absolutely no closing costs and, they claimed, no hassle. Naturally, I was skeptical and I obviously wasn't the only one: a quick Google search turned up dozens of pages of forum posts wondering the same thing, many of them outright calling it a "Chase refinance scam." Fortunately for me, I also found quite a few Chase refinance reviews that convinced me, somewhat reluctantly, to proceed. I'm glad I did.
The Chase No-Cost Refinance Is Not A Scam
As it turns out, the Chase no cost refinance pitch is part of a government program where the government pays a commission to mortgage holders in exchange for giving borrowers a lower rate. A few minutes on Google didn't turn up the exact details of the deal, but it appears only mortgages owned behind the scenes by Fannie Mae are eligible. Also, Chase isn't the only bank doing them, although they are the most prominent. I have no idea why I received the offer and others didn't. There must be something about my mortgage behind the scenes that matches some specific set of criteria. Read more from Clark Howard, if you care.
It's true what they claim: I paid no closing costs whatsoever. No appraisal fee, no title insurance, no nothing. The only thing I had to account for was the amount paid into my escrow account for property insurance. What Chase did was take my escrow balance and apply it toward the principal of my previous loan. Since property taxes still have to be paid this year, however, I had to cover this balance somehow. You can either roll it into the new loan (effectively a break-even proposition since they had already paid down the previous loan by the same amount) or bring cash to closing, which is probably your best bet if you can swing it. It was only a few hundred dollars in any case and since this is escrow money, it can't be rightfully called a closing cost.
As for the claim of being hassle-free, Chase really delivered on that front. I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with my Chase refinance guy who was based out of Arizona. He gave me his full name and mortgage license number, which I promptly googled to make sure he was legit. He asked me a long list of qualifying questions; questions like "is this property your primary residence" and "do you intend to live there as our primary residence for at least a year," etc. Once it was clear I qualified, he went over the specifics of the proposed loan and emailed me a bunch of documentation. Those of you who have ever taken out a mortgage know how much documentation is involved, but my Chase rep told me he only needed three signed pages from me, giving me the exact page numbers. Additionally, he needed proof my property was insured. He then ran my credit right over the phone(check out annualcreditreport.com for a free copy of your own credit report). All I had to do then was fax in the requested documentation the next day. On closing day, Chase sent the closing attorney to my office. I had him meet me on my lunch break and the whole process took a bit less than 30 minutes, leaving plenty of time for me to eat my lunch. Altogether, it took less than an hour and a half of my time from start to finish.
So yeah, this offer is legit. You might want to Google your mortgage broker's name and license number if you are the suspicious type, but the offer certainly isn't too good to be true. If you are really paranoid, you could even call the Chase customer service number from the website and ask about the package you received. They should be able to connect you to the proper office, presumably after a few relays.
Well, It's Not REALLY A No-Cost Refinance
Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch. This no-cost refinance offer came with a catch: a higher interest rate. I ended up getting a rate about 0.4% higher than prevailing rates. Not worth it, you say? It was for me, and here's why. My mortgage balance was only about $71,000 at this point. The difference between paying what I eventually got (0.4% over the prevailing rate) and going rates would have amounted to a relatively small amount of money, less than $50 per month. Under normal conditions it would still be worth going with the lower rate: after all, $50 a month is $50 a month. But in this case, the fact that I didn't have to pay any closing costs (or even roll them into the new loan) sealed the deal. At $50 per month, it would have taken me YEARS to earn back the closing costs of a traditional loan. Since I'm pretty sure I won't still be living in this property 5 years from now, a traditional refinance didn't make sense. It was a better deal for me to take the no-hassle Chase option.
Does taking this or a similar offer make sense for you? Maybe. Just be sure you understand how much of a rate premium you're paying and do the break-even math yourself. It may make sense to pay closing costs in your situation, especially if you plan to live in your home for a long time. Either way, I couldn't be happier with my Chase refinance offer experience.
Do you know your credit score? Is it high enough to get the best rate on your refinance? Get your credit score from all three credit bureaus from Equifax.

Jan. 26, 2011
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - The Pac-10 Conference announced its 2011 Pac-10 Hall of Honor inductees and this year's Husky selection is Todd MacCulloch. It's the 10th year that the Pac-10 inducted one member from each institution into the Hall of Honor.
MacCulloch arrived at the University of Washington a raw, unpolished basketball player that redshirted his first year on campus. By the time he left campus in 1999, MacCulloch was one of the greatest centers to wear the Husky purple and gold, who challenged many of the school's all-time records.
Standing at 7-foot-0 and 280 pounds, MacCulloch was the Huskies main cog from 1996-1999 and led the team to NCAA Tournament appearances his junior and senior seasons. He averaged 18.6 points and 9.7 rebounds in 1998 when Washington advanced to the Sweet 16 before falling to Connecticut on a last-second shot. As a senior, MacCulloch averaged 18.7 points and 11.9 rebounds - the seventh highest rebound average in single season.
MacCulloch was twice named first-team All-Pacific-10 Conference and a two-time Playboy All-American during his career. He joined Jerry Lucas as just the second player in NCAA history to lead the nation in field goal percentage three consecutive seasons.
MacCulloch ended his UW career as the school's all-time field goal percentage (.664) leader, second all-time in blocked shots (142) and fifth in total points (1,743) and rebounds (985). His yearly field goal averages rank as the top-four all-time single-season marks in school history. His eight games with 30 or more points ranks as the second most all-time at UW.
He also holds several single-game marks that still stand today, including field goal percentage (10-10 vs. ASU, 2/29/96) and most rebounds in a game since 1977 with 21 twice.
After completing his career, MacCulloch was a second round draft choice (47th overall) by the Philadelphia 76ers. He amassed 1,369 career points in a four-year NBA career before injuries forced him to retire early.
Where MacCulloch Ranks All-Time In the Husky History Books:
Scoring - 1,743 (5th)
Field Goal Percentage - .664 (1st)
Rebounds - 985 (5th)
Blocked Shots - 142 (2nd)

The Lego Movie review: Full-on brickyardMovies
A Michael Bay movie in Lego
How do you make a hit movie out of Lego? Film writer Garry Maddox finds out from Animal Logic chief executive Zareh Nalbandian and animation director Rob Coleman.PT4M18S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-35mwj 620 349 March 28, 2014
Reviewer rating:
(PG, 101 minutes). Opens Thursday.
Directors: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller
We're used to seeing Hollywood blockbusters as by-products of toy, game and comic franchises but there's something especially blatant about The Lego Movie. As one of its creators freely admits, the title sets you up for a 90-minute toy commercial.
And despite its many pleasures, the film never quite succeeds in banishing that thought. The problem is the pace. It never lets up. The directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, seem so spooked by fears of their young audience's short attention span that some of their best touches go by in a blur. The film is bursting with ideas. It seems that Lego insisted on them. In deference to the playful spirit of inquiry that helped the company grow from its beginnings in a Danish carpenter's workshop in 1932, its chiefs wanted something in line with the brilliance of Toy Story. And they got it. Threaded between the fireworks are a string of clever jokes aimed at some of Hollywood's fondest cliches, together with a well-pitched storyline in praise of lateral thinking, but you don't get much time to dwell on them.
It's a classic theme. Lord Business (Will Ferrell), the tyrannical tycoon who runs Legoland, has imbued the place and its citizens with a crippling sense of conformity. Emmet (Chris Pratt), a construction worker, has become so used to obeying the rules that he can't imagine living any other way. Then he tumbles into a deep hole on a building site and is treated, like Lewis Carroll's Alice, to an entirely different view of the world.
During his underground adventure, he meets a new mentor, Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman), an ancient wizard convinced that Emmet is the "special" - the long-awaited saviour, who's destined to overthrow the ruthless regime of Lord Business and usher in a new age of freedom and innovation. So it's a plot very much in line with the teachings of Joseph Campbell, whose work on comparative mythologies and their heroes has inspired so many Hollywood scripts. But this one tweaks them a bit. Vitruvius is no Obi-Wan Kenobi. His prophesies are the product of guesswork rather than wisdom, and Emmet doesn't come into his own as a hero until he's mastered the art of delegation.
Even so - or rather, because of his reluctance to play the great man - he's made a big impression on certain political commentators in the US. A Huffington Post columnist recently decided that he could give the left some crucial lessons about the power of collective action, and that President Obama, in particular, could learn a thing or two from him. And if you find something deeply depressing in the idea of the American president taking advice from a Lego figure, you're not alone.
Emmet's adventures take us on a comprehensive tour of Legoland's diverse districts. We visit the city, the country, the Old West and the medieval era in company with Lego versions of Batman, Gandalf, Dumbledore, Wonder Woman, Superman and an assortment of Star Wars characters - which, in itself, is a tribute to collective corporate action. Emmet also develops a crush on his feisty guide, Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), and Liam Neeson enjoys himself hugely giving voice to a cop who possesses a good and a bad side and switches between them at a bewildering rate.
The animation, by Australia's Animal Logic, is superb. Elaborate Lego worlds are constructed, destroyed and re-assembled in even more fabulous configurations as you watch. Despite the speed at which the whole thing unfolds, the figures move in a way that's entirely in keeping with their brick-like forms.
With all this going for the film, you can understand why Lego should be so pleased with it and why it's already had such box-office success internationally - but its relentless action and pounding soundtrack sent me out feeling battered rather than uplifted and the nine-year-old who came with me had the same response. If only Lord and Miller had demonstrated more faith in the wonders they were putting up on screen, it would all have been a joy.

The Seven Year Itch – Billy Wilder
A delightful and witty farce, The Seven Year Itch combines the talents of Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell with hilarious results. Adapted by George Axelrod and Billy Wilder from Axelrod's Broadway play, it is essentially the extended reverie of a plain, middle-aged publisher of paperback books concerning his amorous fantasies. Ewell's deft comic timing, Wilder's brisk direction, and the radiant presence of Marilyn Monroe give luster to this sophisticated comedy.
The script sets up situations bound to have many comic possibilities, then explores most of them inventively and at a rapid pace, and quickly finishes before we tire of the gags. New Yorker Richard Sherman (Tom Ewell) sends his wife, Helen (Evelyn Keyes), and son, Ricky (Butch Bernard), to Maine for the summer so they can escape the city's heat and humidity. Although he has a vivid sexual imagination continually kept sharp through its exercise, he is determined to lead a sensible life during the summer and not be like the other men he knows who start playing around as soon as their wives leave town. The very first night he is alone, however, he finds his good resolutions severely tested by The Girl upstairs (Marilyn Monroe)—she is never given a name—a summer tenant in the building where he lives.
Having decided not to smoke, drink (following the orders of Helen and his doctor), or give in to other forms of temptation, he goes to a vegetarian restaurant for dinner. All the other diners are elderly. Even the waitress is plain and middle-aged and does not accept tips; she does, however, solicit a contribution for the nudist fund, explaining that without clothes there would be no wars: soldiers would not be able to tell enemies from friends. Depressed by this experience, Sherman returns to his comfortably cluttered apartment, stepping on one of Ricky's roller skates in the process, and then prepares to read a manuscript his firm is planning to publish.
At this point he meets the new summer tenant in the apartment above his—a shapely, wide-eyed blonde in a tight dress. The meeting triggers his always active imagination, and instead of reading the manuscript which he has brought home, he begins to fantasize. Written by a psychiatrist, the manuscript is about the repressed urges of middle-aged men. Sherman thinks it will be boring, but when he later reads it, he finds it describes a condition particularly applicable to himself—the tendency of men married for seven years to seek extramarital adventures. The psychiatrist calls it the seven-year itch. In his fantasy, Sherman tells his wife he has an "animal thing" which arouses something in the women he meets. He tells her of the attempts of his secretary, a beautiful nurse, and finally her best friend to seduce him (the scene with her best friend taking place on a deserted beach with waves crashing on the shore in a parody of the famous love scene in From Here to Eternity, 1953). His wife, however, refuses to take him seriously and just laughs at his stories.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will host a Hall of Fame Series interview with 2011 inductee and Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman on Wednesday, August 10th at 7 p.m. in the Museum's Foster Theater.
Holzman will be joined onstage by the former Elektra Records chairman Joe Smith. Questions will be taken from the audience at the end of the interview.
Jac Holzman founded Elektra Records in 1950, initially operating it out of his college dorm room. After dropping out of college, Holzman returned to New York, where he pursued the growth of Elektra in earnest. The label primarily focused on folk music throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, but in its determined pursuit of the cutting edge, Elektra signed some of contemporary music's most groundbreaking acts in the latter half of the Sixties. Establishing a presence in Los Angeles, Elektra signed Love (its first rock group), the Doors (its biggest act of any kind) and cult bands like Clear Light, Crabby Appleton and Rhinoceros. Honing his radar on Detroit, he signed the MC5 and the Stooges, both of them explosive, uncompromising rock groups whose impact on popular music would be felt for decades. From London came Queen, an eclectic glam-rock group that rivaled Led Zeppelin for popularity in the Seventies. Since departing the label in 1973, he's stayed heavily involved in the conjoined worlds of music and technology with such companies as Pioneer Electronics and Panavision. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011 by John Densmore of the Doors.
Former Elektra Chairman Joe Smith's career began in New England, receiving his Bachelor of Arts from Yale University and working as a sportscaster and deejay, later appearing in the film Jamboree. In 1961, he moved to California and entered the music business as National Promotion Manager for Warner Brothers Records and within a decade, he was president of the label. During those years, he discovered and guided the careers of artists such as Peter, Paul and Mary, Rod Stewart, James Taylor, the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, Deep Purple, the Allman Brothers and many more before becoming Chairman of Elektra/Asylum Records in 1975. Later in his career, Smith was named President and CEO of Home Sports Entertainment and later Capitol/EMI Music before retiring in 1993. Smith serves on the board of the Recording Industry Association of America as well as the Black Music Association.

During SSWC this weekend we got to test an iZettle. iZettle is a chipreader and an application you can use to accept payments and make withdrawals through your phone. So what you need to use it is an iPhone, an iZettle and a chip-card. The device and the iPhone app doesn´t cost anything and there are no monthly fees. This is a truly amazing thing for small business owners who sell stuff and it will be awesome if they start using this is restaurants aswell. No to mention being at a restaurant with your friends and wanting to split the check. Now one can pay for all and then the rest can just use iZettle to make their payments to the friend who paid for everyone.
When my friend Johanna tried the iZettle this weekend she withdrew 100 SEK wich is possible if you have cash on you. So now you can be a wandering ATM. Right now iZettle is only released in Sweden and for beta-testers only, but I look forward when it´s properly released and I can get my hands on one! If you want to know more about how it works you can watch the video below.

Miss Robbie, the soul food slinging soul sister from St. Louis, is stressed out and screaming bloody murder if her employees don't shape up. She needs some extra help, but Tim is back in Houston searching for another Sweetie Pie's location. As for other family members, Charles shares some sound advice with Monique who has visions of managing the Mangrove in her eyes where pupils used to be.
As soon as Tim arrives back in St. Louis, he has a meeting (behind his mom's back, of course) regarding marketing a Sweetie Pie's brand of sweet tea. The start-up cost for this venture runs between $50-$60 thousand dollars. This is too much money for a piggy bank to hold but enough cash to cause Miss Robbie to remind her son of the days of the almighty spanking.
The staff members at the Upper Crust are not getting along well with each other and are not pulling their weight, which forces Miss Robbie to pull double-duty. In other words, she is spending far too much time helping in the kitchen than she should. So Tim brings some of his staff from Mangrove to assist in the berating and belittling in hopes of whipping Upper Crust staff into shape and bond with each other.
Ike, who finds a teaspoon out of place, demands to know if a worker is using it to sneak and eat. Tim's friend, J.R., has donned on an apron and joined Tim's band of staff shapers even though he was never officially hired. Miss Robbie thinks she needs to the intrusion like a fish needs an umbrella. She changes her mind though when Tim explains the motive behind his madness and adds that her staff is now working together like a team. It's us (Mangrove) against them (Upper Crust).
Monique confides in Janea her desire to manage the Mangrove and Janea basically gives her the same speech as did Charles. Monique finally goes to Tim with her idea and what does he think about it? He thinks this is a ploy masterminded by Jenae to use Monique as a spy. Why can't anyone believe the girl has ambitions of moving up in the family business once Tim relocates to the Lone Star state? However, Tim does agree to give Monique a try using baby steps.
Tim and Sterling Moody, the president of a consulting group, meet with Mr. Bussey about bottling the tea. Mr. Bussey actually likes the idea. When asked if he's run this by Miss Robbie yet, Tim says no and was hoping Mr. Bussey would do it. It becomes a laughable moment at this point.
One more "finally" occurs when Tim approaches Miss Robbie with his global plans for her sweet tea. As usual, Miss Robbie tears into him for going behind her back before discussing it with her first. She does eventually warm up to the idea, but if it ends up a no-go, he must treat her to a two-week vacation to go do whatever it is old people do. Brainstorming Tim also has another suggestion up his sleeve for encouraging team spirit among the co-workers. He wants to organize a team sport competition, namely kickball.
Janea takes TJ over to see his dad, Tim. The two of them talk. When Tim tells Janae about losing the turnkey in Houston, she asks if he thinks this is a sign for him not to move to Houston. You can tell Tim is holding on to his tongue and his mule on this one. No! In fact, he goes on to inform her he's found another turnkey to rent and it is better than the one they lost. He has not said anything to Mr. Bussey or Miss Robbie about it and plans to rent the place using money out of his own pocket. Didn't Miss Robbie just chastise him for going behind her back?
Janae and TJ visit Monique. Of course, Monique dishes the details to Janae on her conversation with Tim including the part about Tim's "spygate" suspicion. Janae is slightly upset and Monique regrets mentioning it.
The tea samples are in from the chemist, but Tim does a little cheating in giving his mom the tea test taste. The glass should contain her recipe and the bottle should contain the sample. Should. She tastes and likes both. Both are actually the sample tea because he never poured her recipe into the glass. So again, Miss Robbie concedes Tim may actually have another good idea on his hands.
Its game time and the Upper Crust and Mangrove teams are "kicking" it out on the field. There is a lot of trash talking and hardly any rules, but everyone is having a blast and Mr. Bussey called the game a tie. Everybody wins.
Tune in next week, when the true nature of Tim and Janae's relationship comes into play. Is it really over between these two?
Watch 'Welcome to Sweetie Pie's' on Saturdays at 9:00 PM on OWN.

Brrrr blog #2 today and day 97!
Tuesday, January 08, 2013
Must say that even though it is day 97, my walking amt and time has slowed with this cold weather, and my cough. Hoping that once my cough is better ( which it seems to be a bit better today and hubby and I both have apts with duty dr this eve) Allie and I can continue walking more. As long as it isn't super slippery or I go buy another set of those spiky things as I lost mine.
So biggest loser last night... what do you guys think? After the first night of Jililan right in your face yelling, I was ready to not watch but want to see how the kids do and like seeing the weigh ins. I honestly understand the need to get to someone to get into their heads, but last night showed it can be done without yelling at being right in their face. I was impressed with last night but sad for the guy that had to leave. Both that have left were ones that needed to be there but hope they continue on doing well.
Been doing some thinking thanks to a sparker. I need to learn to do things for me. I know to me it was a big deal to go for green tea lol with MOTHER-NATURE the other day as I rarely do anything just for me. I won't take the time, or won't spend the money. Anyway the other day in the paper were free courses set up by the local health team. like low intesity exercise... stretching and strengtening course, get a handle on pain, stop smoking, literacy, all diff stuff. But the one that clicked for me was the strength and stretching. So going to call and sign up. hoping I can go as you have do a pre sceening questionaire. I should be able to do what they need. So that starts Jan 15th. 4:30-5:45 wasn't impressed with the time but really who cares of supper is late hubby said oh go to that dont wait for the one in april. He supports me it is me that knocks me down.
forgot to see who the duty dr was when I called. There is one I will not go to and guess I will be cos not paying to cancel.... she was my dr, but I changed, cos she nevr told my mum she had lung cancer. Dr at emerg. said well you have lung cancer that is part of your issues, mum said what he said it is here on your chart from about 6 months ago didn't your dr tell you...... so our family isn't impressed wht her at all. But I didnt ask and want hubby to go as he is stil worse than I and I would like my chest listened to so will go hope it isnt her.
As soon as my Long term pay comes in I will be booking my chiro and massage apts again. Sure could use them both so that is self care too.
Okay getting off here and want to get some stuff done around. and lol perhaps it will get me warm I am freezing even with my sweater on. BRRRRR
HUGS all and thanks to a sparker who makes me think!!

The adage "too many cooks spoil the pot" has no place in this raunchy kitchen.
In the upcoming very-R-rated sketch comedy film, "Movie 43," which stars 28 (!) celebrities, directors ranging from Peter Farrelly to James Gunn to Brett Ratner plumb the depths of the "ensemble comedy" to bring you just pure and total insanity. There's bathroom humor galore, leprechauns, sexually transmitted diseases — a regular cornucopia of comedy.
The cast includes (deep breath!) Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Bell, Halle Berry, Leslie Bibb, Kate Bosworth, Gerard Butler, Bobby Cannavale, Kieran Culkin, Josh Duhamel, Anna Faris, Richard Gere, John Hodgman, Terrence Howard, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Knoxville, Justin Long, Stephen Merchant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloë Grace Moretz, Chris Pratt, Liev Schreiber, Seann William Scott, Emma Stone, Jason Sudeikis, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts, and Kate Winslet.
But seeing is believing — take a look at the newly released NSFW trailer above. "Movie 43" hits theaters in January 23.

Someone in IT thought it would be a good idea to modify the default behavior of the command
cd in our tcsh environment. As of Monday the "upgraded" version of
cd always prints out
$PWD after it navigates to the new directory.
% cd ~/
Directory: /nfs/pdx/home/rbroger1
which cd yields no results so it isn't being alias'd.
Is there some environment variable or normal tcsh variable that is being set in our setup scripts to produce this output? I don't want to change all my scripts to use a wrappered or alias'd
cd. I just want plain ol'

Reviews for Blueberry-Blackberry Rustic Tart
"Delicious !!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I will make this many times in the coming months. Good"
"This is soooo good! And fairly easy, as evidenced by my daughter making it for our family! Well worth the effort and expense of buying the fruit. In season it's not too expensive though. I would spray the parchment with a spray oil to more easily facilitate removing the tart from the paper after it is cool."
"I thought this recipe was delicious. I never thought to incorporate corn meal in a pie crust before and am pleasantly surprised how good it tastes with the fruit. I'm thinking of putting blueberries in my corn muffins next time I bake them."
"Tried this the other night and my husband loved it. I did use crust already made and it was still delicious."

I ALWAYS buy a Haynes manual now for my boats/cars/trucks and pickups. They are so good and save me a lot of time!! Keep up the good work, Haynes! "

Singer-songwriter Linda Perry produced the annual fundraising event for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center called "An Evening with Women" over the weekend. Perry and her iconic 80s rock band 4 Non Blondes were the evening highlight as they performed a concert set which included their hit "What's Up?" The performance marked their first appearance as a band in nearly twenty years.
ABC Family's freshman series "The Fosters" received a special award for their realistic portrayal of a lesbian couple struggling like any other couple, trying to raise a blended family of children, including a number of foster children.
Special items auctioned off during the night, which raised over $650, 000, included a trip to Bora Bora, Linda Perry's personal piano signed by celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Courtney Love, Jenifer Lopez, Ozzy Osbourne, Sara Gilbert, Britney Spears and more. All proceeds from the event benefited the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's services for women and girls.
Two of the celebrities that attended the event were "General Hospital" actors Bryan Craig and Kelly Thiebaud, who play Morgan Corinthos and Britt Westbourne on the popular daytime soap.
Daytime TV Examiner spoke with the duo about the event and asked what was ahead for their characters on the show. Britt is currently having a hard time in Port Charles after the reveal of her raising the son of Dante and Lulu Falconeri as her own. Morgan is going through his own troubles as he recently discovered his father, Sonny had slept with his girlfriend Ava.
Check out the interview with Kelly and Bryan on this page.
"General Hospital" airs weekdays on ABC.

South-East Asia poised to defeat visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar)
19 October 2015 | Geneva −− Three countries of WHO's South-East Asia Region – Bangladesh, India and Nepal – are poised to eliminate visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar) as a public health problem. The number of cases has reduced by 53%, from a high of 182 000 cases during 2005–2008 to 85 000 cases during 2011–2014. The 10 209 new cases reported in 2014 represents a 75% decrease from 2005 when the Kala-Azar Elimination Programme was launched.
Call on WHO to lead a network aimed at the control of leishmaniasis
16 January 2015 | Geneva −− WHO is and has been making efforts to coordinate and provide support to strengthen leishmaniasis control in various countries in the Maghreb, Middle East, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
What is leishmaniasis
The leishmaniases are a group of diseases caused by protozoan parasites from more than 20 Leishmania species that are transmitted to humans by the bites of infected female phlebotomine sandflies.
There are three main forms of the disease: cutaneous leishmaniasis, visceral leishmaniasis or kala-azar, and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis.

How to Choose a Perfume
Perfume is almost essential to a woman's beauty routine! But there are so many. Luckily, this article can help you decide on the perfume that's right for you.
1Go to a fragrance or perfume store to try out the perfumes they have on display. Try all all of the testers. Something to remember is that after even the second or third fragrance, our sensitivity towards the smell of the fragrance decreases. It would be better to leave the store for a while, and come back after your nose has gotten back the sensitivity to detect the scent differences. Most people say that spending too much time in a fragrance store hurts their head so be careful about how much time you spend in the store.
2Ask for a sample of the perfume you want to try. Put some on a pulse point (wrist, crook of elbow, etc.) and walk around the store for 20 minutes. Smell it again, and then make your decision.
3Think about your personality. If you're outgoing, go for something fruity. If you're more of the shy type, try something cinnamon.
- Another option is to go by season. Something watermelon would go good in spring or summer while something cookie-scented could go good in winter.
4Go by occasion. Wear something a bit romantic if you are going to a wedding! If you're just going out to the mall, do the above step.
5Ask for help if desired. The saleslady is not meant to just stand there. However, don't let her bug you. See Warnings!
6Compare prices to get the best deal. The best way to do that is to look at some online store prices like Ebay, Nordstrom, Macy's, and similar places. The prices of perfumes of these big store name brands are much higher than at cheaper discount websites.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Bring a good friend along to help you decide!
- Your sense of smell is the strongest later in the day. It's better to try then.
- Don't go scent shopping at the end of your menstrual cycle: Your sense of smell is at its weakest at that time. It's greatest at the beginning of your cycle.
- Perfumes actually have many stages of scents. There is often a beginning scent, a middle scent, and ending scent in the perfume. Make sure that before you make a selection, you can identify and like all of the range of smells in each fragrance.
- Don't let the saleslady pressure you into buying something you don't like or think is too expensive. It's your choice!
- Most perfumes are composed of many different ingredients, some synthetic and natural. Some perfumes may cause allergic reactions when they get in contact with skin. Make sure that you are not suffering from any common allergies before trying out the scents.
