When the Taliban were in charge, Afghanistan harbored terrorists who struck at the United States. In retaliation, the US invaded Afghanistan and toppled the government. Now, after considerable investment and loss of American lives, Afghanistan is back to its old ways. It is a nation filled with Muslims, many if not most of which are radical and violent people. Their government under Karzai has been unable to govern the land with certainty and security. Today's news that a security guard murdered three American doctors should be taken as continued declaration of war. Just as Tony Blair warned yesterday as reported in the story referenced below, Islam has become a universal enemy to free people because it is evil at its core. What are America's options?
- Withdraw all assistance from Afghanistan and isolate the place.
- Renew the commitment of war with the Taliban.
- Establish new and improved military bases from which to continue the war against the Taliban and governments that fail to fight them effectively and otherwise harbor terror.
"Afghan security guard shoots dead 3 American doctors at hospital
Published April 24, 2014
The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan confirmed Thursday that three American doctors were killed by an Afghan security guard who opened fire at a Kabul hospital.
The shooting at Cure International Hospital in the western part of the Afghan capital was the latest attack on foreign civilians in the city this year. Two others, including an American nurse, were wounded, according to Afghanistan's Health Ministry.
It was unclear whether the Taliban were behind Thursday's shooting, though the insurgents have claimed several major attacks that killed foreign civilians this year, an escalation after years of mostly targeting foreign military personnel and Afghan security forces.
[Content omitted]
In January, a Taliban attack on a popular Kabul restaurant with suicide bombers and gunmen killed more than a dozen people, while in March gunmen slipped past security at an upscale hotel in the Afghan capital and killed several diners in its restaurant.
The hospital shooting is also the second "insider attack" by a member of Afghan security forces targeting foreign civilians this month.
On April 4, an Afghan police officer shot two Associated Press staff working in the eastern province of Khost, killing photographer Anja Niedringhaus and wounding veteran correspondent Kathy Gannon.
The Associated Press contributed to this report."

No one could turn an innocent cup of tea into a prelude to passionate romance quite like Jane Austen, which is why we love the notion of the mistress of Regency love having her very own blend ($8). This custom blend from British tea makers Gillards of Bath is inspired by some of the favorite leaves of Jane's own era. Make yourself a pot to accompany your Darcy daydreams.

$2.00/1- Dove Men+Care Deodorant – (coupons.com)
Final Price: $1.97
I just came back from CVS and the Dove Mens deodorant rings up at $4.99, not the $2/4 you guys are talking about. Very disappointing as I left empty handed as usual. This is the main reason why I stick with Walgreens. CVS's ad are always conflicting.
The Dove Men+Care deodorant is $3.99 at target. Used this $2 coupon with the Target $1 coupon for a total of 99cents PLUS you get a free trial size deodorant or body wash with every full-size you purchase. This was a pretty sweet deal on deodorant for my husband!
This coupon prints out Redeem at Wlmart, So my CVS wouldn't take it, and they are on sale this week 2/$4.
So I took my coupons and my CVS ad to Walmart where they are priced $3.97. Got them FREE at Walmart with the price match and coupons and they also came with a bonus of a trial size of Mens Dove Bodywash!
they are $2.75 at dollar general.
That's one of the reasons I love my CVS….self-checkouts!! The coupons went through no problem!!
I used this coupon at a military base commissary where they are 2.69 each, so a pretty good deal @ 69 cents. I could tell the cashier was reading the "redeem at Walmart line because she paused before she scanned the second one, so I said, "it's a manufacturer's coupon – I know what it says." But she did honor them in the end.
You can use these at CVS today (3/5). The Dove mens deodorant is on sale $3.50 each and if you spend $15 on Dove you get $5 Extra Bucks Back. if you use 5 coupons, your out of pocket is $7.50 and you get $5 in EBs. That makes it like getting all 5 for $2.50 or $.50 each!! And if you have any EBs to spend it is free! I had a $7 EB to use so I paid $.50 oit of pocket plus tax and got $5 EB back! Great deal all the way around.
It doesn't say "redeem ONLY at WalMart", so YMMV but you should be able to use it else where.
If you shop at Publix Dove Men+Care deodorant is $3.50 each
I used it with the $1 off target coupon. Theu came out to be 99 cents.
Same question here. It says on the coupon "redeem at walmart" but does that mean it can only be redeemed at walmart????????
its a manufacture coupon-can't it be used at Target? I have a target printable coupon for $1 off any Dove Mens deodorant or body wash.

New! Sponsor this Writer. Click here for
PARIS -- It's hard to
imagine two performance experiences more diametrically opposed than
Carlotta Sagna's "Tourlourou," a 30-minute tour de force for the
Ballett Frankfurt's Jone San Martin that tore through the Theatre
de la Bastille last week, and Thomas Hauert's "Modify," an indulge-o-thon
which even the radiant New York dancer (and Tere O'Connor alum)
Chrysa Parkinson couldn't save from seeming like the longest 70
minutes of my life. "Tourlourou," by its theme and construction,
treats time as the precious commodity it is, while Hauert seems
to think we have it to waste.
Along with Emmunuelle
Huynh* and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui*, Carlotta Sagna* is the most critical
European choreographer to emerge in the past five years. Like Huynh
and Larbi -- as he's known in Belgium -- she's also one of the few
who's been able to successfully merge dance with theater to form
creations which enrich both disciplines. Also like Larbi, Sagna
has proved herself capable of making work that draws from the social-political
Zeitgeist without submitting to it. "Tourlourou," which takes its
name from that given to natives of the Antilles who fought and died
for France, is inspired by the 2002 Doubrovka theater siege in Moscow,
which ended with many of the hostages being killed by gas pumped
into the theater by Russian security forces. Of the 41 Chechen kidnappers
-- most also killed -- half were women, sporting both veils and
belts packed with explosives.
Sagna's spectacle, which
bowed last summer at the Festival d'Avignon and which I caught in
its Paris premiere January 27, commences when the bare-legged San
Martin, clad in a camouflage-colored tutu and leotard (even her
underwear is a drab olive green), mounts a center-stage platform
decorated with a target, stands on the bull's-eye and announces,
"In 30 minutes, I will exist no more." As a concept, a ballet on
the theme of the "kamikaze ballerine," as the PR put it, may seem
in poor taste, promising more bombast from the house of needcompany,
with whom Sagna worked for a decade, but in practice, it works:
This is a dancer -- and a woman -- trying to fully realize the last
moments of her life, fully aware she's got 30 minutes of it left,
struggling to find the best way to use them and, in the process,
impressing us with the vitality of savoring every moment as if,
in fact, we all have thirty minutes remaining in our account.
What if you knew for
certain, San Martin asks, that tomorrow would be your last day?
How would you pass that day -- in the house; surrounded by friends;
communing with nature "to search for harmony"? "Or maybe you'd decide
to die early." Would you call your friends and bid them "au revoir"
-- literally, 'to see again' -- or "adieu" -- farewell? And so it
goes, as her time -- and ours with her -- winds down. "In ten minutes,"
(or maybe it was three) she says later, "you can tell someone 'I
love you' 600 times," then launches a litany of the many things
you can undertake in this span of time. "In three minutes, you can
take a music lesson... while smoking a cigarette."
Sagna and her interpreter
use melodrama in spare doses, most forcefully in intermittent notes
of the militaristic drum intro to Queen's "We Will Rock You," with
San Martin going through her battements at a staccato pace that
accentuates their inherent regimented rhythm. Staring fixedly ahead,
she even sings the lyrics, her voice trembling in the realization
of her diminishing time. At one point she appears to lose her place;
the mumbled words with which she conveys this -- "j'ai perdu
le fil", "I lost the line" -- form a double entendre that refers
also to the life-line. Dance-wise, she also appears to have lost
her way, struggling with increasing freneticness, legs stabbing
out, limbs reaching to grasp toes as with bent torso she struggles
on the ground.
Towards the end, her
time apparently up, San Martin halts just before exiting through
the curtain upstage right and asks an unseen (and presumably all-knowing)
authority, "I have five minutes left? Three minutes?" then re-mounts
her box. By this point, she and Sagna have us; we relish the reprieve
as much as she does.
By the time she really
does leave, for good this time, we don't need a literal or recorded
explosion to get the point; our world has been rocked and (one hopes)
we will never be the same.
About the only thing Thomas Hauert has in common with Carlotta Sagna
is that they both danced for Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Rosas.
Perhaps it's Sagna's later apprenticeship with needcompany's Jan
Lauwers that makes the difference; she knows how to select, compose,
and edit. Hauert, by contrast, appears to believe we have nothing
better to do than to watch the noodling around of him and his Zoo
company collaborators -- they're all credited with the choreography,
he with the concept (?) and (lack of) direction. In fact, after
I was already locked into my seat at the Theatre de la Ville -Sarah
Bernhardt Tuesday evening, I realized with horror that I'd been
to this zoo and seen this act once before, when Hauert & company were permitted to
monkey around at the Centre Pompidou in 2003. As I wrote at the
time, when my companion, "Mom," suggested the work "seemed to be
about the aimlessness of modern life," I corrected her, "It's about
the aimlessness of much post-modern dance." Hauert has progressed
somewhat; he seems to have a concept this time, as suggested by
Manon de Boer's backdrop: a photo of what could be my apartment,
with clothing and trucs scattered everywhere. The random
disarray is certainly mirrored by the choreography, whose content
is more appropriate to a first session of improvisation than a finished
performance. (At one point, it was so anti-composition I couldn't
help thinking: "Modern dancer on the dance floor!") Notwithstanding
Parkinson -- clearly in her own zone, enhanced here by an extended
dance in a strip of red light -- Sarah Bernhardt would surely have
blanched if not raged to see the theater her devastating declaiming
established defaced by so much doodling.

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice has been confronted with a serious challenge to his freedom and reputation after having had a violent fight with his wife. It appears both he and his wife feel absolutely terrible about this incident. Rice has said he is really sorry for having failed miserably in regard to this incident reported ESPN on May 24, 2014.
His voice was shaking with emotion when Rice extended his apologies for the actions which resulted in his arrest on assault charges. He was arrested back in February in Atlantic City, New Jersey at which time he allegedly struck his fiancee Janay Palmer. The couple was married later in February and clearly want to leave this tragic episode in their lives behind them and move forward now.
Rice and his wife recently addressed the media together about this incident reports TMZ. They each expressed regrets for the violent incident which took place at a New Jersey casino. Rice extended his apologies to the Ravens, his fans, and his wife. He says the couple has since had counseling sessions and they feel this has helped them out.
Rice and his wife have taken time with the help of their counseling to reflect on each other. Clearly they are both committed to working things out and to becoming better people and a stronger couple. Palmer says she is sorry for the role she played in the violent incident although she and her husband have not been real clear about exactly what led up to the incident and what really happened.
Prosecutors have agreed to drop the 3rd degree aggravated assault charge against Rice if he successfully completes a pretrial intervention program. This program lets defendants avoid prosecution pending the completion of a rehabilitation program. It looks as if Rice and his wife are doing well with this deal and now have a chance for a good future together. When the motivation to work on correcting past mistakes and to be a better person is sincere this type of rehabilitation program clearly has great potential.

You may have noticed by now, but we here at Outblush really like anything that helps keep us warm. Cardigans are great for those "tween" days, when it's not cold enough for a coat, but not warm enough to venture out into the world with no extra coverage. Cardigans are also great for wearing around the house or office when we can't quite shake the chill. We think the Garnet Hill Fringed Draped Cardigan ($78 on sale) makes a great addition to our sweater collection. We especially like the way it sweeps the hips and gives the illusion of length. Oh, and it will keep our arms warm. That's nice too.

Keep Your Fitness on Track, Log Your Progress...
As a kid, I logged all my exercising, religiously! Every rep, mile, pushup, pull-up and minute spent hitting a punching bag was accounted for. Nowadays I don't write it down, but I keep a sharp mental tally.
And the American Academy of Family Physicians recommends keeping an exercise journal. Here are some suggestions to keep your fitness on track:
- Write down every physical activity that you do each day, including what you do and how long you spend doing it.
- Don't just log going for a run or lifting weights. Everyday chores that burn calories count, too. Track activities such as cleaning and vacuuming, or even walking the dog.
- Keep the journal with you, so you can write things down before you forget.
- Commit to entering information in the journal every day.
You know this already, but it pays to exercise. Recent research shows exercise curbs appetite and reduces anger and aggressiveness in obese children. Heck, even our president-elect is a fitness junky.
Actually, last year I blogged about my diet and exercise routine for a week.

MEDINA — Some folks who attended last week's Medina County Home and Garden show got an unexpected benefit: They learned they were owed money.
Medina County Treasurer John Burke said his office helped find more than $22,400 in unclaimed funds for residents at the booth set up at the show.
A Valley City resident found he had $1,883.76 in unclaimed funds from a forgotten dividend check and stocks, Burke said in a news release.
Every year, the Ohio Department of Commerce publishes the names of people who have missing money valued at $50 or more, money that the state has received in the past year.
Unclaimed funds are checks or assets that have been turned over to the state after a period of three to five years.
According to the treasurer's office, the most common unclaimed funds are forgotten utility or rent deposits, checking or savings accounts, wages as well as uncashed dividend, insurance or rebate checks, and safe deposit contents.
The list will be published in Tuesday's Gazette.
"If you find your name on this list and need assistance in claiming your missing money, we invite residents to contact our office at (330) 725-9199," Burke said. "We will print the form for you as well as explain the process and procedure. All you have to do is sign it, gather the necessary information and mail your papers to the state.
"This is a free service and our staff will be happy to assist your."
Residents can check if they have unclaimed funds by visiting www.medinacountytreasurer.com and looking for the "Unclaimed Fund" tab.
They also can check the state's website at www.com.ohio.gov/unfd/.
Contact Kiera Manion-Fischer at (330) 721-4049 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Are you looking for high pressure hot water compact steam cleaners The models displayed on this page are low water volume, high temperature for cleaning of components, engineering, floors, walls, catering equipment, kitchens and generally internal areas.
Do you mean hot water high pressure cleaners commercial or industrial hot water high pressure cleaners often called 'steam cleaners' They are a higher water volume and pressure, and used for external cleaning of plant, vehicles or equipment etc. and not generally used inside a building.
New for 2015
See the new VapourSteam REDUCED WATER cleaners.
Take a look at our video to see how the super-heated steam can clean the grimiest of items.
Breaking news: Morclean cleans up 'The Archers'
Listeners to 'The Archers' will have heard the recent problems at Bridge Farm where poor 'Clarrie-luv' inadvertently infected batches of Ambridge Organics produce with E.coli. The story line required the Dairy at Bridge Farm to be steam-cleaned. The production team contacted Morclean to ask their advice. A short time later the BBC sent a team to record the sound of steam-cleaning in action and collected facts and figures to add to the script. Listen to the extract.
The Morclean Pro range of Steam Generators produces saturated steam at an average temperature of 175ºC and pressure of 10 atm. They negate the use of chemicals and are ideal for cleaning surfaces effectively.
They are perfect for use in catering and food processing and they are ideal for cleaning kitchen equipment, fridges, freezers, tiled floors etc. They are also commonly used in the pharmaceutical, mechanical and building industries.
All Pro range models are built in AISI 304 stainless steel. They have pivoting wheels with brakes and a device for using chemicals and detergents mixed with steam.
The boiler can be refilled from the tank provided (continuous duty) and they include a steam gun with low tension controls.
These machines are extremely cost effective and energy efficient. Some models have the added bonus of an integral vacuum cleaner. This ensures that surfaces are left clean and sanitised but also dry and less prone to slippage.
Our steam cleaners have an internal tank with a 2.5L - 10.0L capacity. Tap water is used to make steam at 4.5 bar - 10 bar pressure and produces steam vapour temperatures at up to 185° Celsius. The steam boiler, manufactured in stainless steel, is explosion proof and safety devices provide steam pressure at both constant and variable rates.
Morclean's steam cleaners, providing a large amount of over saturated steam, will hygienically clean all surfaces. There are no applications or restrictions on how the steam cleaners unit could be used however the steam cleaners are mostly utilised for cleaning and sterilising floors and tiles, catering equipment and kitchens including fridges and freezers and engineering applications.
High temperature steam will clean and disinfect any surface by breaking down and melting grease and oil and resulting residue can be removed with an integral vacuum cleaner or with cloths. A 90% reduction of the amount of disinfectant used and a 70% reduction in the use of detergent can be expected. Production of waste water is significantly diminished as the steam cleaners use only 2.5L of water in an hour. The zero use of chemicals, disinfectants and detergents reduces dramatically the amount of pollution to be disposed of responsibly, saving up to 30% of all important time.
The combination of tensioactive ingredients and water constitutes the conventional method of cleaning. Dirt however can lurk hidden from the naked eye in tiny cracks and holes in the surface allowing bacteria to breed and the sense of security created by a freshly washed worktop can be a false one.
The water molecules of high temperature steam terminates the dirt that other conventional cleaning cannot reach, killing bacteria and breaking down grease. The residue can then be washed away with water and micro-fibre material and all waste is 100% biogradable. As steam cleaning will remove all organic material this deters bacteria from regaining a foothold.
Compact and easy to use, our light commercial range of vapour steam cleaners operate to 4.5 bar and 155° Celsius. The high temperature, high pressure steam cleaners come with variable power and options of vacuum fitted and clean many applications effectively without chemicals or detergents.
The Morclean range of commercial steam cleaners are purpose built for use in demanding environments including busy commercial kitchens, food preparation and manufacturing, engineering workshops, hospitals and hotels. Most of Morclean's models are placed in hard wearing stainless steel bodies for an increased working life and to adhere to strict food standards. All machines come with steam clean and / or vacuum accessories for steam cleaning difficult environments. Vapour steam cleaners have many applications.
The Morclean heavy duty range is used where grease and oil create the most arduous of applications or where the vapour steam cleaner is used for lengthy periods of time. The units are continuous rated allowing the operator interruption free working. The steam cleaners are also fitted with a vacuum unit. With up to 9 bar pressure for the most demanding of cleaning situations these are the workhorse vapour steam cleaning machines in Morclean's range. Vapour steam cleaners have many applications.

Construction on Popular Boulder bike Routes - What you need to know!
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From Boulder County Transportation
Neva Road Open – remains unpaved for next two weeks.
Construction continues on the Neva/Niwot Shoulder project. Daytime closures of Neva Road are over for the time being, but a large section of the road remains unpaved so cyclists should use caution and expect significant delays through November. Reply to this email for updates.
Apple Valley Road Bridge CLOSED – Sept 18 to Oct 15
Apple Valley Bridge over St Vrain Creek (north of Lyons) will be closed for four weeks to allow Boulder County to replace the bridge deck and other routine maintenance. Access to Apple Valley Road and the Antelope Trailhead is available from the south entrance to Apple Valley Road (closer to Lyons).
Baseline Repaving, 76th Street to Lafayette – Sept 24 to Sept 29
Boulder County will be repaving Baseline Road between 76th Street and the City of Lafayette the week of September 24 including Saturday, September 29. Cyclists should expect to encounter paving equipment and significant delay during daytime hours.
Highway 119 Intersections Construction (Jay Road and Niwot Road)
CDOT will be reconstructing two intersections along the Diagonal Highway (Hwy 119) between Longmont and Boulder this winter. Once complete, the new intersections will include improved bicycle and pedestrian connections across the highway, including a westbound bike lane for bikes turning left onto the Diagonal Highway.
Work is expected to start in the next three weeks and continue through April 1, 2013. Cyclists will be able to get through but are likely to encounter construction activity, significant delays and at least one period of closure. Construction contact info and any closure information will be posted to this email list once available.

Diagonal at Jay Rd
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I drive Diagonal from Longmont to Boulder almost every day and see the prairie dog colony that lives on the median. I have also observed on a consistent basis the hawks that nest nearby and hunt in that vicinity, as well as coyotes on several occasions. That small parcel of habitat is now covered in stakes so obviously something is going to happen there. But what is going to happen to the prairie dogs? Are they going to be gassed? Buried alive? Relocated?

Never Saw It Coming
The former chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve asks how so many experts, including him, failed to see the 2008 financial crisis approaching. An important part of the answer to that question is a very old idea: Keynesian "animal spirits," the irrational elements of decisionmaking that have been left out of economic forecasting for too long.

text: Anyone else doing the Special K Challenge? I tried it once before and lost 3 pounds. I'm jumping back on the bandwagon. I'm going to eat one meal a day (anything I like, but hopefully healthy) and the rest of the time I'll be eating the Special K cereal, protein shakes, meal bars, snack bars, etc. I'll also be drinking water, juice, and maybe the occasional soda. I'm going to try to get to the gym at least 2-3 days a week. Working out at least 30 minutes to an hour a day. I'm hoping to lose 30 pounds.

Kudos Vehicle Management started as a family run business and over the years has grown to become one of the UK's most respected independent contract hire and vehicle leasing companies.

Kudos, a franchise of Network Vehicles, provides the SME marketplace with the finance rates and vehicle discounts only usually given to fleet sizes of 50 vehicles or more. This gives us greater buying power than our customers, and we promise a relentless hunt to find the right vehicle for you from local dealers to those across the country. Furthermore, through our finance partners we have the ability to ensure maximum discounts, not only for our small business customers, but also for private individuals who are looking for great deals.
For your reassurance, Kudos Vehicle Management is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and as a broker, not a funder, guarantees an impartial and unbiased service to our customers. If you need some advice about leasing or financing your car or van, please feel free to call us.

Thank you for all your work in making this a pleasant experience in purchasing this car.

Ivan Chadwick, Chomarat
"I had to put pen to paper and thank you for my BMW coupe which arrived last week (as promised!). I didn't think for one minute that you would have been able to offer me a better deal than my local BMW dealer but Kudos has saved me a small fortune. I will recommend you to all my family and friends."
Michael Barnes, Apropos Conservatories
"Kudos always give sound advice and are polite, fast and efficient. Total customer satisfaction. I compare several suppliers every time, yet always return to you. You know your business thoroughly. Quite brilliant!"
David Dervish, Northampton
"The Kudos web site is very accurate, efficient and speedy. I love the garage feature!"

Shaun Pinder, Newcastle Upon Tyne

David Darvil, Bristol
"Thanks to Kudos for the best advice and service over the last 10 years. My Range Rover Sport was delivered last week and it was immaculate. Thanks for dealing with my part exchange so promptly. I
didn't want the two vehicles here at the same time and you resolved that for me efficiently."

Alan Moody, Cheshire
"I thought leasing was only for companies. Kudos proved it's also for individuals, and they're good at it too. My wife loves her new VW Toureg and although I had my reservations about buying a car on the net, we saved 3.5k on the dealer price. It was also delivered to our door so there was no hanging around at the dealership. It was all too easy. "
John Huggins, Penrith
"Thank you Kudos for sourcing my Aston Martin DB9 and BMW M6; the cars are great and the service was spot on. Russell Bowker and his team worked nonstop to ensure they found the best vehicle, at the most competitive price and deliver it to your door on the day and time required. It's easy, it's simple, it works. Forget the rest KUDOS is best!"
Neil Dinsmore, Up Holland, Lancashire

Willie Nelson: Blue Skies
Blue Skies
Willie Nelson (vocals, guitar)
Stardust (Columbia / Legacy 65946)
Willie Nelson (vocals, guitar),
Mickey Raphael (harmonica), Bobbie Nelson (piano), Booker T. Jones (organ), Bee Spears or Chris Ethridge (bass), Paul English or Rex Ludwig (drums), Jody Payne (guitar) and strings conducted by Jules Chaiken.
Composed by Irving Berlin.
Recorded: Southern California, December 12, 1977
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
So many famous artists have performed this song—Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong Count Basie, Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Al Jolson, Art Tatum, and Bing Crosby, among others—yet a quick check of the Amazon charts shows that one version out-sells the rest. I can't imagine many people at Columbia got excited when Willie Nelson decided to record an album of old pop tunes, all but one composed before World War II. Yet the execs clearly celebrated the results: a triple platinum album that spent more than two years on the charts.
There are no frills here. Strings are kept in the background, and if they were mixed in any softer you wouldn't even notice them. When the guitar takes a solo, it simply states Irving Berlin's melody. There's nothing to hold your interest . . . except one big thing. Yes, it's hard to pay attention to anything here except Nelson's raw and compelling voice. I have heard critics tell me that there is no such thing as authenticity in music, and that recordings and performances are all deeply coded cultural constructs, a process in which authenticity can play no part. But I can only surmise that they never heard this particular record, or they wouldn't be saying that. This is the real deal, sung by a veteran of many gigs who puts his heart and soul into the words and melody. A more calculated album would never have had the impact of this one, and Mr. Nelson's success is proportional to his indifference to those same deeply coded constructs.
Shortly after the guitar solo, we get a key change and, toward the end, the tempo is cut in half, which is usually a bad move when recording a pop tune, but by then Nelson has the audience at his beck and call, and wherever he takes them—to F# or the moons of Jupiter—they will come along willingly. Even smug jazz artists, who think they have a special relationship with these old songs, one that outsiders can never match, might learn a thing or two from listening to this milestone performance by the man from Fort Worth.

Detroit Police Chief James Craig addresses what neighborhoods can do about crime during forum
DETROIT (WXYZ) - Detroit Police Chief James Craig was among those taking part in a conversation about what neighborhoods can do to help police fight crime in the city.

ISO Accuracy
The actual sensitivity of each indicated ISO is measured using the same shots as are used to measure ISO noise levels, we simply compare the exposure for each shot to the metered light level (using a calibrated Sekonic L-358), middle gray matched. We estimate the accuracy of these results to be +/- 1/6 EV (the margin of error given in the ISO specifications). We found that measured ISO from the Sony SLT-A77 is roughly 1/3 stop higher than indicated across the ISO range - so ISO 100 indicated = ISO 125 measured.
Noise and Noise Reduction (JPEG)At 100% on screen, noise is visible in JPEGs taken across the A77's entire range of ISO sensitivity settings if you look closely at areas of plain tone (like a blue sky for instance) but starts to become really noticeable at ISO 800 and above. Up to ISO 3200, the A77's noise-reduction system keeps things relatively smooth but above ISO 1600 you can clearly see that fine detail starts to suffer. In terms of detail reproduction at default settings there is quite a leap from ISO 800 to 1600 but this is only really apparent when images are viewed like this, critically, at 100% on screen. The noise graph, shown here, doesn't tell the whole story and it is clear that noise reduction is keeping measured noise levels low.
By ISO 16,000, even with noise reduction set to 'low' the medium-contrast detail in this test scene is all but obliterated. It is worth noting though that in 'real world' shooting at this setting, high-contrast scene elements are still relatively well-preserved, which makes images useable (just) for small prints and web use.
That said, the A77 is unequivacally a pretty noisy camera towards the upper end of its ISO sensitivity scale and if you plan on using the A77's highest ISO settings you should keep your expectations relatively modest.
RAW noise (ACR 6.6 Release Candidate, noise reduction set to zero)
The amount of NR applied 'under the hood' is not high, but it does vary by camera (Adobe is attempting to normalize output across different sensors), so we are still looking at a balance of noise and noise reduction, rather than pure noise levels. However, the use of the most popular third-party raw converter is intended to give a photographically relevant result, rather than simply comparing sensor performance in an abstract manner.
Converting the A77 images in Adobe Camera RAW 6.6 Beta confirms the suspicion that we had when examining the camera's JPEG output. The A77's 24MP sensor is producing significantly higher noise levels than the competition, especially towards the top of its ISO sensitivity range. At ISO 1600 and above the disparity is obvious, and becomes more so as the ISO sensitivity increases. Above ISO 12,800, chroma noise from the A77's raw output is very high indeed.
As always, you should keep in mind that this is a pixel-level judgement and these files contain a lot of pixels. In the real world, with judicious use of post-capture noise reduction you can get much more from the A77's raw output than you might expect from the images and graphs on this page. That said, we've found that at high ISO settings in poor light, it is hard to 'rescue' images taken at ISO 6400 and above, even with careful raw post-processing.

Stardust: Crystallized Sugar LED Lamp is All Sweetness and Light
BY: Frida Jeppsson
Start Slideshow
- Stardust Lamp by Won Joon LeeWon Joon Lee recently unveiled a seriously sweet LED lamp at the Milan Furniture Fair that incorporates crystallized sugar as a source of energy-efficient light. Dubbed the Stardust lamp, the piece was created by placing LEDs in a concentrated sugarbath for 10 days, which caused them to grow a rock candy-like shell. The modular lamp was showcased as part of the part of the Loaded exhibition at Rossana Orlandi's.1
- The Stardust is a mudule light system with sugar-LEDsWon Joon Lee was born in Seoul, Korea and is currently studying for his BFA in designed objects at the SAIC in Chicago.2
- The light from the sugar-LED is faschinating on many levelsStardust is the result of an intense two-semester design project that focused on the history, physicality and currency of the materials iron and sugar.3
- Detail of rock sugarJoon Lee wanted to create an object that explored the use of sugar in design -- he states: "As coffee sweetens with sugar, Stardust investigates and peels back the layers of sugar to reveal new meanings to designers, producers and markets."4
- Won Joon Lee's sketch modelThe modular light was inspired by the shape of the sugar molecule, and the design's PCB (printed circuit board) is a metaphor or clue that speaks of the intricate 'mechanical' or 'biological' story.5
- Won-Joon-Lee-Stardust-6To create the sugar light source, Joon Lee experimented with sugar by burning, melting, freezing, breaking and growing it.6
- LEDs out of the water, to be mounted in their modulesHe settled upon submerging LEDs in a bath of concentrated sugar water, which caused light-diffracting sugar crystals to grow around the diodes.7
- The crystal sugar is grown in concentrated waterJoon Lee's Stardust lamp presents a new way of using sugar as an environmentally friendly, sustainable resource at a time when trade is the cause of many problems connected to the design practice.8
- Crystallised sugar is used as light source in StardustThe designer stresses that Stardust is at an early stage in its lifecycle, and if he finds support, he will continue experimenting with colored and fluorescent substances.9
- Stardust, by Won Joon LeeThere are practically as many ways to develop the design as there are ways to take your coffee.10

A.V. S.wrote a review of La Sportiva Boulder X Approach Shoe - Men's on January 30, 2014
Comfortable, sticky, good on scree
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fit: Runs small
These are my favorite approach shoes. They lace snug, and the rubber rand comes in handy more than you would think. This is actually a "reserve" pair, in case LaSportiva changes them before my other one's wear out.

EXPERIENCE: O'Connor began active duty with the United States Marine Corps in June 1968 following graduation from the Naval Academy at Annapolis. He completed Marine Infantry Officer's Basic School at Quantico, Virginia, in December 1968, and then reported to Pensacola, Florida, for flight training, receiving his wings in June 1970. He served as a squadron pilot with VMA-214 at El Toro, California, where he flew the A-4E and A-4F Skyhawk light-attack aircraft. In July 1971, he returned to Kingsville, Texas as an advanced flight training instructor in the TA-4J trainer and was subsequently assigned to VMA-513, the first Harrier squadron home-based at Beaufort, South Carolina. As a squadron pilot, he deployed with VMA-513 to Iwakuni, Japan, and Kwangju, Korea, and completed a 6-month cruise aboard USS GUAM in the Mediterranean. O'Connor is a graduate of the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School and served as a test pilot with the Naval Air Test Center's Strike Test Directorate at Patuxent River, Maryland. During this 3-1/2 year assignment, he participated in evaluations of various conventional and VSTOL aircraft. From June 1977 to June 1979, he was the Naval Air Test Center project pilot for all AV-8 Harrier projects, including the first Navy preliminary evaluation of the YAV-8B advanced Harrier prototype. When informed of his selection by NASA, he was serving as the Harrier class desk officer at the Naval Air Systems Command.
He has logged more than 5,000 hours flying time -- including 4,300 hours in jet aircraft.
NASA EXPERIENCE: O'Connor was selected as an astronaut in May 1980. He was a T-38 chase pilot for STS-3, and was CAPCOM for STS-5 through STS-9.
O'Connor was assigned as pilot on STS 61-M. When that mission was canceled after the Challenger accident, he served as Assistant to the Shuttle Program Manager from March 1986 until February 1988, and as Chairman of NASA's Space Flight Safety Panel from September 1986 to February 1989. From August 1989 to April 1990 he was Deputy Director of Flight Crew Operations. He is a veteran of two space missions and has logged over 383 hours in space. In 1985 he served as pilot on the crew of STS 61-B, and in 1991 commanded a seven person crew on STS-40.
On his first mission O'Connor was pilot on the crew of STS 61-B. The Orbiter Atlantis was launched at night from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on November 26, 1985. During the mission the crew deployed the MORELOS-B, AUSSAT II, and SATCOM K-2 communications satellites, conducted two six-hour space walks to demonstrate Space Station construction techniques with the EASE/ACCESS experiments, operated the Continuous Flow Electrophoresis (CFES) experiment for McDonnell Douglas and a Getaway Special (GAS) container for Telesat, Canada, conducted several Mexican Payload Specialist Experiments for the Mexican Government, and tested the Orbiter Experiments Digital Autopilot (OEX DAP). This was the heaviest payload weight carried to orbit by the Space Shuttle to date. After completing 108 orbits of the earth in 165 hours, STS 61-B Atlantis landed on Runway 22 at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on December 3, 1985.
More recently, O'Connor commanded the crew of STS-40 Spacelab Life Sciences (SLS-1), a dedicated space and life sciences mission, which launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on June 5, 1991. SLS-1 was a nine day mission during which crew members performed experiments which explored how humans, animals and cells respond to microgravity and readapt to earth's gravity on return. Other payloads included experiments designed to investigate materials science, cosmic radiation, and the accelerations on the vehicle resulting from various maneuvers on orbit. Following 146 orbits of the earth, Columbia and her crew landed at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on June 14, 1991, to perform the first high speed nosewheel steering test on a concrete runway. Completion of this flight logged him an additional 218 hours in space.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - The Pac-12 Conference announced on Monday that 10 University of Colorado football players were honored with All-Conference accolades.
Junior offensive tackle David Bakhtiari was named to the second team offense while nine other Buffaloes picked up honorable mention awards.
The honorable mention list included four true freshmen: defensive backs Kenneth Crawley, Marques Mosley and Yuri Wright and running back Christian Powell.
Other Buffs on the honorable mention list included senior defensive lineman Will Pericak, senior tight end Nick Kasa, sophomore offensive linemen Daniel Munyer and Alex Lewis and sophomore punter Darragh O'Neill.
The All-Pac 12 teams are selected by the Pac-12 head coaches.
Also on Monday, Colorado was recognized as one of 47 schools in the nation to earn an honorable mention for the American Football Coaches Association Academic Award. Stanford and UCLA were the only other two Pac-12 schools that were were honored by the AFCA, with Stanford winning the award with Northwestern University.
In order to earn an honorable mention, a school had to graduate 75 percent or more of their football student-athletes based on the NCAA's Graduation Success Rate (GSR) formula.
The GSR is based on a six-year graduation window for student-athletes which is a change from the five-year window used by the now disbanded College Football Association and AFCA. The GSR was developed by the NCAA as part of its academic reform initiative to more accurately assess the academic success of student-athletes. The GSR holds institutions accountable for transfer students, unlike the federal graduation rate. The GSR also accounts for midyear enrollees.
Under GSR calculation, institutions are not penalized for outgoing transfer students who leave in good academic standing. These outgoing transfers are passed to the receiving institution's GSR cohort. By counting incoming transfer students and midyear enrollees, the GSR increases the total number of student-athletes tracked for graduation by more than 37 percent.

The fifth season of the AMC drama "The Walking Dead" begin production next week, and spoilers and information is already leaking out about the newer characters. On April 29 Wetpaint Entertainment posted spoilers about Mary's role at Terminus and the connection to the comic book series. The fifth season is scheduled to air in October.
In the final episodes of season four, some of the prison groups finally made it to Terminus. The first group were welcomed by Mary, a woman who was busy cooking on a grill when they arrived and offered them food. She has a role similar to the one Carol had at the prison, which is keeping things running and everyone fed. Many fans have speculated that the residents of Terminus are the cannibals from the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, a claim that kirkman or anyone else involved in the show will confirm or deny.
Greg Nicotero, a special effects and makeup artist who will direct episodes of the new season, mentioned that the scenes with the blood and bones from the finale was done deliberately to get fans talking about the motives of the citizens of Terminus. He revealed that he knows what Mary is cooking but is not allowed to reveal anything yet. Robert Kirkman, comic book series creator and executive producer also recently revealed that the mystery would not last for long.
On April 29 TVLine posted an interview with Kirkman who talked about how the many questions about the season four finale will be answered early in the season. Kirkman acknowledged that the theory of the citizens of Terminus being cannibals is very possible but not the only option. The Terminus people will be much more dangerous than any other adversaries the group has encountered before.
Terminus is not a place that is trying to rebuild the old world, like Woodbury, and all of the citizens are living in a very specific way. The supposed safe haven is a string of abandoned buildings fenced in with people who lock anyone who makes it there up inside train cars. The scenes for Terminus are filmed at an old train station outside Atlanta.
Current show runner Scott M. Gimple mentioned that each set of eight episodes is like a miniseries, and stories will be wrapped up or expanded with each group of episodes. So from the premiere episode to the midseason finale, there is a story arc that is mostly finished and sets up the second half of the season. This was true with The Governor's death and the attack on the prison leading to groups scattering and finding each other at Terminus in the finale.
Cast and crew members are arriving in Georgia ahead of filming which is expected to begin on Monday. The thirteen episode season will be filmed through the fall, premiering on AMC in late October just like the previous seasons. The fifth season will introduce new characters and take the series in a new direction now that Rick and the other survivors have been captured.

Would You Believe That Slackers Are Less Stressed Than Type-A's?
Science tackles the hard questions.
A new study from the Journal of Applied Psychology found that people who deal with work-life conflicts by becoming busier and asking friends for help got more stressed out than people who avoided their problems and took a nap instead. Where can we get one of these "science" jobs that pays you to explain why it's more calming to veg out than try to form a plan of action based on conflicting advice from a bunch of people who probably don't know any better than you? If there are any journals of psychology looking to find out why people are happier when it's warm out or why girls like it when you compliment them, we promise to unlock the mysteries for half the cost of any researcher.

Terry Richardson
New York, New York
I don't like to exploit anybody. That's not my bag. Everyone has fun on my shoots.
Creative visionary or creative creep? Fashion photographers are an enigmatic and eccentric bunch at the best of times, but perhaps none are more polarizing than Terry Richardson. Having forged a lucrative career for himself through a distinctive raw minimalist photographic style, he's photographed everyone from Lady Gaga to Barack Obama and worked with companies and publications as diverse as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, GQ, and Sports Illustrated. What then could make such a clearly gifted and much-lauded photographer the target of much scorn and industry hostility? In a word: sex.
Not one to shy away for exposing his models (or himself) in the name of photographic art, Terry Richardson has earned a notably scandalous reputation for his graphic photographs of his own sexcapades and faced accusations of manipulative treatment toward the models that he features. A powerful industry figure whose reputation is built on parts mega-success and pieces brazen sexuality, Terry Richardson is, at his core, an artist whose photographs will continue to incite reactions for as long as he's able to keep sharing with us his racy view of the world.
Not one to shy away for exposing his models (or himself) in the name of photographic art, Terry Richardson has earned a notably scandalous reputation for his graphic photographs of his own sexcapades and faced accusations of manipulative treatment toward the models that he features. A powerful industry figure whose reputation is built on parts mega-success and pieces brazen sexuality, Terry Richardson is, at his core, an artist whose photographs will continue to incite reactions for as long as he's able to keep sharing with us his racy view of the world.
Throughout his checkered odyssey as one of the fashion industry's most flagrant sexual players, Richardson has also had a string of visible relationships with a handful of high-profile industry ladies. At the top of the list is Nikki Uberti, a model to whom he was married until an ill-timed divorce saw them separate after her diagnosis with breast cancer. Comparing their coupling to the classic bedmate chaos of Sid and Nancy, Terry Richardson emphasized that drug problems (chiefly his) rather than disease prompted their separation. Since then, he's had notable relationships with Canadian actress-model Shalom Harlow, model Susan Eldridge and fashionable stylist Camille Bideaut-Waddington.
Terry Richardson BiographyThough he was born in New York City to photographer father Bob Richardson, Terry Richardson did not immediately take a liking to the Big Apple or his dad's profession, primarily because his father was in the midst of a challenging battle with drugs and mental illness. His dad shacked up with actress Angelica Huston, which marked the end of the Richardson family dynamic, but only the beginning of the celebrity affairs, as Richardson's mother proceeded to get acquainted with the likes of Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix and Kris Kristofferson. A later car accident rendered her brain damaged and left Richardson with a childhood that at times left him lonesome, angry and poor, with drugs being his primary choice of coping.
As he entered adulthood, Terry Richardson took a liking to music, and as a bass guitar player, he entered the punk circuit of Southern California with a number of local bands. With a diet consisting primarily of noodles, the guitarist also developed a strong hobby in photography and after learning that his father had managed to curb his drug problems, Richardson reunited with him in New York City to make a go at professional photography. Living out of a studio apartment, the two struggled to make ends meet, and the combativeness between them caused them to split when they received a job offer from a magazine called Vibe, which Terry Richardson chose to handle on his own. As such, his work became an award-winning piece and sent him on his new solo photographic journey.
Terry Richardson Works with Gucci and releases TerryworldPhil Bicker, a respected art director from England, caught a glimpse of Terry Richardson's work for Vibe and commissioned him to handle photography for a campaign for Katharine Hamnett. From there, the photographer put out his unique style stamp and consistently delivered a bold vision for clients while satisfying his own need to push the sexual envelope. For the Katharine Hamnett campaign, the final photos immediately got a rise out of Englanders, as they left little to the imagination where the model's pubic region was concerned. On a subsequent campaign for Sisley, Terry Richardson asked Josie Maran to drink milk straight from the udder of a cow. Unmoved by any controversy, Richardson pressed on with additional campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger, Anna Molinari, H&M, and A/X before Gucci asked him to photograph its Fall 2001 campaign.
After initially raising the ire of Tom Ford in the early stages of the campaign, Terry Richardson delivered a final set of imagery that earned recognition throughout the industry and only sent his stock rising further. While he was shooting photographs for advertisers and fashion labels, Richardson was also busy with his own separate projects, which revealed a darker and even more sexually charged style in several photo books.
The 2004 effort, Terryworld, was perhaps the best example of this period, as it featured numerous photos of women engaged in sexual activities with the photographer himself. While he called it art, readers of the book and its related exhibitions called it pornography. Terry Richardson remained undeterred by the reaction and insisted that the sexuality presented in his imagery was consensual, respectful and fun, but he was admittedly pleased that he could get under the skin of so many people.
Terry Richardson faces controversyOver the next few years, Terry Richardson continued to work with bigwigs of the fashion industry, shooting for Tom Ford, Miu Miu, Levi's, and Hugo Boss, while also photographing everyone from Noemie Lenoir for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and President Barack Obama for a 2009 issue of Purple.
The success of the images was matched by the strength of controversy in 2010, when New York-based model Jamie Peck wrote a scathing editorial about an early photo shoot with Richardson that turned uncomfortably sexual. Danish beauty Rie Rasmussen also joined the fray, saying that the photographer was abusing his position of power in the industry to get sexual favors from models while being too important to suffer any consequences. Though Richardson himself didn't offer a public response to the controversy, he did receive notable support from model Noot Seear and Marc Jacobs, who both vouched for his reputation.
Terry Richardson works with Mercedes Benz and Lady GagaDespite the controversy, Terry Richardson continued working steadily through 2010 and into 2011. In 2010, he continued his work for Tom Ford, this time shooting ads for the designer's Grey Vetiver fragrance, while also snapping shots for Yves Saint Laurent, Diane Von Furstenberg and Emporio Armani, along with covers featuring Christina Hendricks (Bazaar) and cast members of Glee (GQ).
In 2011, Terry Richardson stayed busy in the magazine world but also branched out into television commercials and a return to the book world. Following magazine covers with the likes of Kim Kardashian (Bazaar), Justin Bieber (Love magazine), James Franco (Vogue Hommes International), and Mila Kunis (GQ), Richardson teamed up with Mercedes Benz to film a seductive black-and-white commercial for the new Concept A-CLASS, featuring the alluring Jessica Stam. From there, he filmed stark imagery of the troubled Lindsay Lohan, celebrated the release of his photographic family book, Mom & Dad, before building anticipation for his next project, an epic 350 photograph book documenting his seven months taking shots of the one and only Lady Gaga.

Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus carota), also known as the wild carrot, grows wild in open fields, along roadsides and sunny areas around homes. This delightful wildflower was introduced to the U.S. from Europe. Although some consider Queen Anne's Lace an invasive weed, its lacy blooms and fern-like foliage creates quite the show in mid to late summer.
- Queen Anne's Lace grows to heights of two to three feet and produces clusters of hundreds of tiny flowers that form a round, flat head commonly thought of as its bloom.
- The red or purple cluster in the center earns Queen Anne's Lace its name, as it is thought to have garnered the name from Queen Anne when she pricked her finger on lace leaving a drop of blood as a stain, says Wildflowers of the United States.
- Queen Anne's Lace thrives in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soil from loamy to sandy, but does require well-drained soil.
- Plant Queen Anne's Lace in wildflower or meadow gardens to add texture and brighten the landscape.
