To baby or not to baby? That is the question on this week's SATC. Or, more to the point, can you have a baby and still be you? The girls get invited to the baby shower of an old "wild child" friend of theirs and this gets them all thinking: Carrie misses her period and wonders if she would make a good mother, or whether she wants to be one at all. Charlotte definitely wants to become a mother, but wonders if it will ever happen. And Miranda and Samantha continue to be their usual baby-hating selves. They're like baby, baby, baby, oh no!"
This week in Manhattan, there appears to be a mysterious condition afflicting thirty-something women - Miranda lost two sisters to it, and now their close friend Laney has succumbed. (Call the CDC! They're dropping like flies!)
It's called "The Motherhood".
Symptoms include: Crazy eyes...
...Multi-coloured ribbon-like growths on the scalp...
...and unfortunately frumpy outfits.
Losing Laney to "the 'hood" seems to particularly shake these single girls to the core because Laney used to be wild and crazy - dating rock stars and stripping on tables at parties (hey, if a girl makes Samantha jealous, she's gotta be pretty wild, right?). Now she's married to an investment banker, lives in a huge house in Connecticut (with a dog and a garden) and wears pink cardigans. Oh the horror!
It must be discussed that, in the flashback to the "Old Laney", not only do we get treated to a view of Laney's...well, everything, but we also get a hilarious little fashion flashback of the fantastic four:
Needless to say they have all toned things down a little since what I presume is sometime in their mid-to-late 20's. They are a combination of tacky AND trashy, which is quite the feat. However, amen on the chicness of your ensembles, new girls. I cannot wait until I reach my 30's and I don't have to try so hard. Although I am actually kind of loving Miranda's very French flapper hair from her earlier years - let's bring THAT back!
Appropriately, the girls dress for Laney's baby shower as if they are going to a funeral:
Well, Miranda's going to a funeral. Sam looks like she is planning on providing some entertainment when they get there (although I am thinking a different type of dancing than the "belly" style that Carrie suggests). From the neck up = love; from the neck down = oh honey, no. What did I say earlier about the girls having toned down the tacky and trashy?
Meanwhile, I guess Carrie plans to move in with the Amish once they get to Connecticut?
Are there Amish in Connecticut? Anyway, at least the clothes underneath the black and leather have some colour:
Miranda - for once you are not dressing like a man! Bravo! In fact, you are looking very fem and chic in this striped top. The stripes kind of remind me of those jail prisoner costumes, which is appropos since she feels trapped in this house full of kids and moms in pastels (ironic, isn't it, that she hates babies so much when *spoiler alert* she turns out to be the first of the girls to get pregnant? Sigh, the poor thing has no idea what's coming...DUN-DUN-DUUUUUN!!).
Not having a baby doesn't seem to be any concern to Sam. She's more focused on what happens to her couch! She even throws herself an "I Don't Have a Baby Party" and wears a rockin' hot dress (because DUH! That's what you do when you don't have a baby, silly):
Sam looks pretty ecstatic about her life. Well, at least until Laney crashes her party and creates super-awkward vibes by making a complete ass of herself. Apparently, people only love you making an ass of yourself when you're 25, single and working for a record company. Carrie tells her that party girl is "not who you are anymore", and frankly I am ok with that. Girl needed someone to pin her down.
Carrie is not so comfortable with the idea of becoming a completely different person one day, though. For some reason she would like to stay a young, pretty, slim, fashionable writer with a gorgeous NYC apartment and a stream of guys willing to sleep with her forever. I can't imagine why. Regardless, we sense a bit of disappointment at the end of the episode when she finally gets her period. Now she can only imagine how things might be different if she had turned out to be pregnant.
For one, she might have to actually start wearing bras...and would probably have to give up the 6 inch Manolos. But! But! She wouldn't be Carrie if her nerps weren't showing and she were wearing sensible shoes! And maybe that's the key...maybe we don't have to change unless we want to.
Care-Bear, I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
(Although, it couldn't hurt to look into the bra-wearing thing. Just sayin').

"She can't live with dwarves. They're beneath her!"—Muddles
We heard great things about A Snow White Christmas, so we were excited to check out the Panto for ourselves at the Jeanne Wagner Theatre on Friday night. So we can honestly say to believe the hype.
If you're unfamiliar with a Panto, it's a musical show based on a fairytale with a bunch of modern/pop culture references thrown in. It's also interactive—the audience is part of the show.
This Panto is brought to SLC by the Lythgoe family—directed by Bonnie Lythgoe, written by Kris Lythgoe and starring Nigel Lythgoe (So You Think You Can Dance creator and judge) as the magic mirror. "You're all about the arts. You're all about bringing families together," says producer Becky Baeling Lythgoe on bringing the show to Utah.
The first time the magic mirror descends from the ceiling, the kids' eyes open and jaws drop. But unlike other shows that make the claim, this really is for the whole family.
The show follows the story of Snow White, with a few changes. The Wicked Queen (Margo Watson) is the queen of SLC. She's hoping to marry the Prince of Park City (David Osmond). But the prince is hoping to meet and fall in love with his childhood friend, Snow White (Amy Whitcomb of NBC's The Voice).
The character we see most often is the court jester Muddles (Jonathan Meza), who's helping the prince find his love, along with Herman the Huntsman (Dustin Bolt). And of course, we meet the seven dwarves, all played by kids.
The cast earned their standing ovation. The interactions between characters feel natural. Nothing seems staged or awkward, except for maybe the mascot-type costumes with mouths wide open on the dwarves. We expect to see that in Disney on Ice, but for this type of production, we really hoped for something done with makeup.
Scenes to look out for, without giving too much away, include a dance-off between Muddles and a young dancer and an intense poison apple scene (even the grown-ups were on the edge of their seats).
The choreography and music might be the best I've seen in a family show. Songs include pop hits from Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Bruno Mars. Older folks are given a nod with hits from Huey Lewis and the News and Hall & Oates.
Other than Santa being around to greet kids and a few references to Christmas, the show isn't very Christmasy. If you're looking to really get into the holiday spirit, try A Christmas Carol at the Hale Center Theatre. If you want a fun family show—especially if your family loves dance, pop and fairytales—this is the show for you.
A Snow White Christmas is playing through Dec. 29 at Jeanne Wagner Theatre. Arttix.org for tickets.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore may just have started filming the show last season, but she was quick to judge some of the co-stars. For one, she revealed last year that Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida were not the people that they were portraying on the show. And while there hasn't been any evidence of that just yet, Kenya hints that these new fraud charges are a perfect example of what she was talking about. According to a new Radar Online report published on Jan. 26, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore is now speaking out about Apollo Nida's recent fraud charges.
Over the weekend, the news broke that Phaedra Parks' husband had been charged with fraud and identity theft. He was released on a $25,000 bond and he is due in court on Feb. 12. However, Phaedra hasn't really talked about her husband's charges. She is focusing on her books. But Kenya has been skeptical of Apollo.
"Losers never win. I have always seen through ppl and I was the first to tell you last season about these ppl and who they really are," she revealed on Twitter after learning of the fraud charges. However, Phaedra hasn't been as vocal about the whole thing. "I'll be doing a reading & singing books Friday, Jan. 31," she wrote several times Saturday, hyping her appearance at Atlanta's city hall. But fans were curious. "How does a true southern belle handle being the wife of a criminal?" asked one.
What do you think of Kenya's comments?

The Drought of 2011
"In serious drought conditions, Texas does not and will not have enough water to meet the needs of its people, its businesses, and its agricultural enterprises." --From the Texas Water Development Board 2012 draft State Water Plan
Clean, reliable water has traditionally been viewed in this country as an inalienable right. Often taken for granted in even the more arid parts of the country, in Texas changing weather patterns, record heat and wildfires formed a formidable threat to the long-held belief that water will always be here for us to use as we wish. In Texas, the drought of 2011 fundamentally changed the landscape. Texans have realized that we have a new reality:
- The 12-month period between October 2010 and 2011 was the driest in Texas history. One hundred percent of the state experienced some form of drought and virtually all Texas counties were under a near-permanent burn ban. As of January 2012, there were still 118 counties (of 254) under some sort of burn ban, primarily in south, west and north Texas.
- Half of all the rivers in Texas are flowing at 10 percent or below normal flow. Lakes Buchanan and Travis—which serve Central Texas communities—are currently at less than 40 percent capacity. As of December 2011, agricultural losses had topped $5 billion; many ranchers sold off their cattle and those still hanging on have been paying premium prices for supplies.
- According to a January 2012 report from the Texas Forest Service, as many as 500 million trees across the Lone Star State died as a direct result of the 2011 drought. That's 10 percent of Texas' 4.9 billion trees.
- Texas' population is set to double to nearly 50 million people by 2060, but our water supplies will decrease by 10 percent. Our Texas State Water Plan has a $53 billion price tag and calls for one quarter of our future water supplies to come from conservation. But it currently sits on a shelf, unfunded. And there is no comprehensive game-plan for achieving the conservation numbers.
If history has shown us anything, it's that things can unfortunately get worse—some meteorologists predict this drought will continue through at least 2013. While we cannot control the climate, we can change course and engage in serious-minded conservation tactics.
What we can do as a state is encourage lawmakers statewide to fund the Texas Water Plan. We've got billions of dollars in ideas but they mean little if our state plan goes unfunded. As part of this, the Conservancy will continue doing its part to draft and advocate legislation that makes a difference.
One of the most important tools in our toolbox is land protection—protecting the land where our water first falls. Since 95 percent of land in Texas is privately owned, The Nature Conservancy works diligently with landowners, citizens, local governments and business and to ensure protection of vital watersheds and aquifers. In partnership with the city of San Antonio and private landowners, we've helped protect more than 85,000 acres of land using public funds, including 21 percent of the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone.
Some of our recent protection projects include:
- The acquisition of Nash Prairie, a pristine piece of prairie land that helps filter water flowing into the Trinity River.
- A partnership with Austin to protect 600+ acres atop the highly sensitive Edward's Aquifer recharge zone
- A collaboration with Travis County to conserve waterfront property along the Pedernales River and protect the iconic Hamilton Pool.
We also use one of the most straightforward but elegant tools out there—water protection funds. These water funds can be used on a large scale in major metropolitan areas across the state, and best of all, they are citizen-approved public investments in water protection. They are practical, customizable and proven to work. In the last decade, the Conservancy has worked extensively and with great success alongside local governments in Central Texas to invest over $500 million in water protection funds.

I've been thinking for a while about trying to find my youngsters breeder! he's just turned 3 and a half date of birth is 10 june 2007. he's 14.2hh, been slow to grow. vets says she thinks he's a caspian arab x cob or welshie. he's been very succesfull out in showing in scotland, he's a very good looking man. Vet think he's been bred for preformance as he's such a unuasual cross. I'd love to find his breeder simply because I'd love his history. He has no history before 9 months wereby he was sold in yorkshire to a woman called vanda (I know her history and I don't need her details, she's been worse than useless considering what she put him tho.) I got his passport and mirco-chip so thats no use. niether is his name as i gave him it, he was terrified or everything, some one had taken there time breeding and producing him for him to become scared of his own shadow! I got him at 15 months old as you can tell he was still thin.
He's my pride and joy and in all honest he will never leave my side! If you think you may know where my lad came from I'd be interested to know.

Any idea where in Yorkshire ?
My first thoughts would be to hit Google and try to find out details of any horse breeders concentrating on the coloured / arab / cob / welsh ones first.

PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State University men's basketball's Cougar Team Camp, which features 58 teams from all over the Northwest including Alaska and Canada, wrapped up today on the Pullman campus.
"Team Camp is an important part of the summer for our staff and we are thrilled with this year's turnout of nearly 60 teams," WSU Head Coach Ken Bone said. "Camp is a unique environment which brings schools from all over the Northwest together and allows for matchups between teams that have previously never played against one another. The level of competition at camp this year has been high and it's fun to see teams really competing throughout the week. It's also a great opportunity for us to showcase our program and promote basketball in the state of Washington."
The camp, which included over 550 basketball players and 60 coaches, was designed for high school teams, freshmen through varsity. The teams were separated into four different levels, large school varsity, small school varsity, junior varsity and freshmen teams. Within those levels the teams competed against each other in full-court games, complete with officials, throughout the week.
Team Camp, which began Tuesday, is traditionally designed to help teams prepare for the upcoming season, while giving them the opportunity to play against high-level competition. This summer marks the second year of the Team Camp for Bone and his WSU staff.

The country Americans and our combat soldiers knew as Iraq no longer exists. It has been replaced by three uniquely separate states, according to former CIA director Gen. Michael Hayden on Friday.
Hayden told Newsmax TV, "The state of Iraq as we know it is gone, and it's not going to be reconstituted. It's certainly not going to be reconstituted by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.''
What will be the U.S. strategy to help the Iraqis as they are now, without stepping on the toes of individual factions. The only way out may be "a science fiction-type scenario." Hayden quipped. "I'd get in the way-back machine, go back three years and undo some incredibly unwise decisions that we made then. That's really the nub of the issue."
The general is referring to President Obama's quick December exit in 2011, leaving no American personnel behind. Unlike other post war exits such as Germany, South Korea, etc., American military personnel was not left for the sort of chaos that now envelopes the country.
Hayden, a retired four star Air Force general added, "We've got three successor states there now. As much as we might look for opportunities to keep Iraq together, we need to be prepared for the reality that it's not going to stay together. We should snuggle up comfortable with the Kurds in Kurdistan, who have always been pro-American and actually have a functioning society and state right now. We should give help to the Maliki government, sufficient to settle the current conflict so it just doesn't turn into a humanitarian disaster."
These are tall orders without American combat boots on the ground. Hayden tried to be more specific. "For example, there's fighting around Beiji right now, the oil refinery north of Baghdad. Baghdad needs that for that part of the country to survive, and so we've got to settle the lines of this conflict in a way that Nouri al-Maliki's surviving state, which I'll call Shiastan, has Beiji within it."
The situation becomes more complicated. The general continues, "Then we've got Sunnistan, and that's the state under the control of ISIS right now, and frankly, we've got to treat that as if it were a safe haven for terrorists and begin to think about it the way we had thought about Waziristan for the last decade-plus. That's a tough message, and I'm afraid that's where we are. Now we're at a point where we really don't have good options."
The criticism of the president is relevant in the removal of American combat troops. Some sort of force should have been left behind to keep the peace we had established at the cost of over 4,000 Americans. But we didn't and now the situation is so complicated, we have difficulty telling friends from foe.
Hayden said, "This is all going to be very, very hard going forward, and we frankly may have to limit our objectives. In other words, seek to achieve things less than we would have thought to achieve had we made different decisions a few years back."
There are no good options for America's interests in Iraq until the dust settles and one group declares "victory." The U.S. hopes against hope the army they trained to fight before we left defeats the al Qaida forces advancing.

The Pro Bowl is just one of many major sports All-Star games that need a makeover. With the latest Pro Bowl being held on Jan. 26, one week before the Super Bowl, the NFL will try anything to make it relevant before Super Bowl week is in full force. This year's latest experiment to turn the Pro Bowl into a fantasy game between Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders certainly qualifies as something.
Instead of the usual NFC vs AFC format for the Pro Bowl, Rice and Sanders basically held a fantasy draft days ago, forming their own teams from the crop of NFL All-Stars. Of course, not every All-Star is available for this game, as those from the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers certainly couldn't show up.
This is a lasting consequence from holding the Pro Bowl one week before the Super Bowl -- the last big idea the NFL came up with to revitalize the event. Perhaps if the likes of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman could play in this game, if only for a quarter or two, it would bring some added intrigue. Instead, Rice and Sanders had to choose from the best of the rest, along with players who were only selected as replacements.
No matter what the NFL tries, it becomes harder and harder every year to justify keeping the Pro Bowl alive. Of course, it's been getting harder and harder for major sports' All-Star Games to stay relevant in general. The NBA and baseball have been coasting on their skills competitions the night before their midseason classics, although the Slam Dunk Contest and Home Run Derby have seen better days.
Football has had a trickier time, since it can't hold its All-Star Game in midseason. Doing it a week after the Super Bowl in Honolulu used to work just fine for decades, but the Pro Bowl has seemed more and more outdated in recent years. Now the NFL is counting on two of its old legends to give it a boost, although Rice and Sanders can only do so much.
Nevertheless, the Pro Bowl is the only football game to watch this Sunday, before the grander finale in the much colder MetLife Stadium on Feb. 2. But first, Rice and Sanders' little fantasy game will be held at 7:30 p.m. est on NBC.

I generally write about experiences that have already passed -- PAST TENSE. This article is geared toward the future. I have realized that I often visit events, write about them, and the event is over by the time my article is out and ready for the press. I feel like my readers might actually be missing out on all of the fun.
So, I want to give everyone a heads up on some events that are coming up in the next few weeks and months. I always try to find events that are somewhat spread out throughout the Midwest. I enjoy taking road trips to Southern Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Chicago -- perhaps the only place I am missing out on is Ohio... Is there anything going on in Ohio? Hopefully someone will give me a response on that question, because I honestly have no idea (insert snarky face).
Anyways, I will just break it down, by location, north to south, regardless of the chronology.
I have two events to offer up for Wisconsin. First there is the Craft-apple-ar on August 25th at Lapacek's Orchard in Poynette, Wisconsin. All I need to say about that is – Crafts – Vintage – Antiques – Apples! There is also the 10th Holiday Craftacular on November 29th at the Madison Masonic Center. The unique thing about Craftacular is that the vendors create amazing arts and crafts from vintage and recycled items. The event, which is run through Vintage Flea and Finds Market, only accepts purely vintage or antique items that have been upcycled, recycled, and tweaked.
Moving a little south to Chicago, I have three events to share with everyone. First and foremost is Beehive Chicago Vintage Collective. Beehive is great because it is open every Saturday from 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM (all other days by appointment). So there is never a weekend where you will miss out!
The second event in Chicago is Vintage Garage Chicago, which is coming up on August 17th. The idea behind Vintage Garage Chicago is a fun one; essentially a parking garage is filled up with artwork by little-known, unknown, and still to be known local and regional artists. There is also a large supply of great vintage items that provide for affordable, unique, and attractive accents for the home and office.
Last but not least is the Randolph Street Market, which happens to be on August 30th and August 31st from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM. This event is a little bit more exclusive than its predecessors mentioned above, and I say this because it requires tickets. However, the Market has so much to offer – 250 Vintage, Antique, and Indie Designer Vendors as well as "fancy," global foods.
Moving even further south to the Region aka. Northwest Indiana I have one great event to share with my readers… BEATLES FEST 2014. Beatles Fest is probably one of the coolest attractions in NWI. It takes place at the corner of Hohman Avenue and Fayette in downtown Hammond, Indiana on August 9th. Talk about a true throwback experience... There are multiple Beatles tribute bands that look and dress the part (accent and all).
Aside from the Beatles concert, there are food and beverage (alcoholic) vendors, as well as other vendors such as Paul Henry's Art Gallery (the topic of my last article). Notably, Paul Henry's Art Gallery is raffling off a Beatles painting done by local artist, Kathy Rangel. The painting has a Warhol theme and is titled "Beatles' Fest." The catch is -- You MUST purchase a Beatles Fest ticket to participate in the raffle. I have to be a little cheesy and add a one-liner here – Come Together – and enjoy the Fest!!!
My last stop is in Indianapolis at the Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace. The Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace is a monthly event. There is a showing on September 1st in the popular and attractive Broad Ripple neighborhood at WARMfest; and there is also another showing on October 4th at the Glendale Town Centre. The Vintage Marketplace has one goal on its website that I must share – "The goal of the Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace is to enhance the experience of living as a more responsible consumer by promoting the positive aspects and downright fun of vintage, antique, locally sourced, re & upcycled goods."
Now that it's all out there, everyone can start trekking to see what the vintage lifestyle is all about.

Hilario Isola and Matteo Norzi
Collezione Privata
Hilario Isola and Matteo Norzi
Collezione Privata
GAM Entrance and Lower Level
9 february - 31 march 2012
ollezione privata – Private Collection
31 March 2012
Private Collection
project by Hilario Isola and Matteo Norzi is a project of visual investigation based on
x-ray photographs of Nineteenth and Twentieth century Italian artworks
in search of the figurative and symbolic evidence that hides beneath the layers of painting. The duo's intervention originates from their careful reading and close dialogue with the works they have selected and interpreted in the light of
any possible clue that could
reveal traces of second thoughts and alterations that had remained concealed
. Thus, some decades later, Isola and Norzi operate to uncover the psychological and creative processes behind the artists' compositional choices.
Collezione Privata
alludes to the secretly intimate story behind each work, as it reveals the paths and
that shaped the genesis of the creative process.
Isola and Norzi bring to the forefront the idea of
artwork as a mental and psychological space
, as a panel where to trace back the infinite turning points the author faced, with an investigation that literally finds its space through the layers of pictorial matter. The two artists proceed by
following the series of subsequent traces and underdrawings
; they cross the void left by the doubts and second thoughts disclosed by the
electromagnetic photographs of the works
, and ultimately bring to the surface the phantoms of new original versions for these masterpieces of Italian art.
The works on exhibit have been
specifically created for the exhibition
in relation with some important works by
Giacomo Balla, Enrico Castellani, Angelo Morbelli, and Amedeo Modigliani
. The last three are part of the GAM collection and have undergone x-ray inspection.
The sophisticated
x-ray technique
used in
the restoration and preservation of artworks, allows our vision to move beyond the surface of the painting, opening the way to introspective paths along that mental landscape the artist had envisaged while creating the original work.
Private Collection
is an invitation to force museum paradigms, presenting the GAM collection under a new possible hermeneutics, where philological rigor is accompanied by an emotionally aware interpretation of Art History. For this show in particular,
Isola and Norzi
present their
free re-elaboration
Un Natale!
Al Pio Albergo Trivulzio
by Angelo Morbelli,
dated 1909, and
La ragazza rossa
(Testa di donna dai capelli rossi)
by Amedeo Modigliani,
dated 1915. The artists start from the surprising subjects discovered underneath the surface of the works, which for the first time were analyzed under x-rays.
Morbelli's work reveals different ideas for the set of the painted scene, with changes in the number and position of figures,
and many variations in the light angles, to the point of reshaping the final symbolism of the scene.
On the other hand,
Modigliani seems to have dismissed the original presence of a different female face on the painting ground
. In Isola e Norzi's investigation the mutable weaving of the variations underneath the visible surface of the paintings seems to trace the psychology of the artists' hearts.
Collezione privata
thus becomes a phantasmic phenomenology of artistic reflections, emotions, and feelings, which are all inscribed in the micrographic sedimentations of the analyzed works. Hilario Isola and Matteo Norzi (Torino, 1976) have exhibited internationally, including at Art in General, NY; Artists Space, NY; Sculpture Center, NY; Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal; Museion, Bolzano; David Roberts Art Foundation, London; Fondazione Bevilacqua la Masa Venezia; Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, Montecarlo.
This exhibition has been carried out with the support of the Associazione Amici della Fondazione Torino Musei
GAM Torino. Via Magenta, 31 Entrance and Lower Level
Under the title
the GAM Torino dedicates a new space to young contemporary Piedmontese art, showcasing new works by a number of local artists who have emerged on the national art scene. The project is divided into
a series of exhibition cycles
, each involving a different curator. Every curator will define a theme and select a number of artists who will specifically create new works for the gallery's exhibition spaces. Scope of the project is to present a significant overview of the local artistic production.
First Cycle:
curated by Luigi Fassi
September 27, 2011 throughout July 31, 2012
The first part of Vitrine has been assigned to a Turin-based young curator,
Luigi Fassi
, who has selected eight local artists born between the Sixties and Eighties. His cycle of shows,
Con gli occhi chiusi
– With Closed Eyes
is titled after Federigo Tozzi's first novel published in 1918. The nearsightedness of the main character that Tozzi alludes to forces the reader to experience the world from a different perspective, with a blurred uncertainty that warps the vision of the outside world, but also that of the self. The 19th century metaphor of
Con gli occhi chiusi
suggests an interpretative key to the exhibited works, highlighting the artists' intention to present bordering or neglected perspectives.
Con gli occhi chiusi.

I download a UEC style Ubuntu Precise image from http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ that I want to use in an OpenStack cloud, but I want to make some modifications to it before booting the VM.
Installing packages is fairly straight forward. I first mount
precise-server-cloudimg-amd64.img and use
apt-get after chroot-ing to the mounted folder. However, I also want to remove the default
linux-image-virtual kernel (and
precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-vmlinuz-virtual) and install and use the
linux-image-generic one.
How can I achieve this in a chroot environment that I have mounted the cloud image?

The temperature in Phoenix hit 84 degrees this afternoon, tying the record high set in 1977.
Mark O'Malley, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Phoenix said there is still time for the temperature to rise another degree and break the record.
Sunday is the third day in a row that Phoenix has tied or set a new record high temperature
Saturday's Phoenix high temperature reached 86, surpassing the record of 83 set in 1977, said National Weather Service Meteorologist James Sawtelle. Sunday's high is forecast to reach 85, one degree above another 1977 record.
On Friday, Phoenix's high of 85 tied the record set in 1957, according to the National Weather Service.
Three Northern Arizona cities and four Southern Arizona cities also set new records for high temperatures Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
The high Saturday in Prescott was 74, breaking record of 71 set in 1971. Springerville reached 71, surpassing the 1957 record of 69.Winslow shattered the 2011 record of 72, recording a high of 79.
Yuma's high Saturday was 89, exceeding the 1947 record of 87, according to the National Weather Service. Tucson recorded a high of 88, surpassing the 1957 record of 85. The high temperature at the Bisbee-Douglas Airport was 85, breaking the 2011 record of 79. Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument hit 91, exceeding the record of 85 that was set in 2000.
Charlotte Dewey, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Phoenix, said a high pressure system hovering over the West Coast during the past week caused 80 degree temperatures to make an early return to Arizona.
Daytime highs in the Valley are not expected to dip below 80 until Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Monday is still expected to be unseasonably warm with a high of 84, though it misses the record high of 87, according to the National Weather Service. Next week's evening lows are expected to be in the low to mid 50s.
Tuesday is expected to have a high of 83; Wednesday's high is predicted to be 80.
Thursday is when it begins to cool down into the 70s; the high for that day is expected to be 78. Friday is expected to reach 76 degrees.
By the time Saturday rolls around with an expected high of 73, "it will be closer to normal" temperatures, Sawtelle said.

Barack Obama Makes Obama "Diss" Tape
Black rappers have this thing about making "diss" videos, where they go and say pretty nasty things about their rivals. It seems to be adherent to black people in general, as in schools they constantly get into fights and then make 'your mother' jokes as I've heard them bring into my classroom time and time again.
So really it is no surprise to see Barack Hussein Obama joining them in making one of these things. He sees fit to poke his nose into Hollywood politics by making a diss video of Jay Leno, showing that Ted Turner has Obama in his pocket. So really this is just Obama uncle tomming for Ted Turner, roll tape:
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

2014 is an election year in Illinois, and Examiner.com is sitting down with some of the candidates for key races so that the voters will be able to make informed decisions. The next in this series is a phone interview with senatorial candidate Sharon Hansen, the Libertarian Party nominee for United States Senate.
Sharon Hansen is a wife, mother, and grandmother. As a former critical care nurse and now a bed and breakfast owner/operator, she loves to take care of people. "If elected, I will still be taking care of people which is what I most enjoy doing."
We spoke with Hansen regarding her run for the United States Senate.
Why are you running for office?
I'm a new grandma and I want my grandson to grow up in a free country, and I think the way we're headed, he won't. We need more and more regular folks, not career politicians across the country to step up and run for office. I actually thought about it a couple of years ago, but I didn't want to do it. Then I had a near death experience and I thought and prayed about it, why God didn't want me yet. I was in pain, I wanted to die, I prayed to die, but I didn't. I thought about what I had done and what have I not done. I thought maybe this is what I'm supposed to do and if God wants me to do this, I'm not going to refuse to do it.
The Libertarian Party is wonderful. The people are so giving and helpful, even at church I haven't met people like them. They gave up their time to help us get enough signatures so we could get on the ballot and they have helped me with my campaign. All the years I voted, I didn't like the democrats or the republicans. It was "eeny meeny miney moe." I woke up in 2012 when the republicans did what they did to Ron Paul. I looked at the Libertarian platform and decided that I was a Libertarian. I agreed with everything in their platform. Somehow I got on a mailing list in Bloomington and I replied and said "I decided I'm going to run for the US Senate in 2014." The libertarian political director for Illinois was also on the mailing list so, when I replied, it went to everyone, including him. He called me and said "If you're serious you have to talk to me." I told him I was serious, and here I am.
What are your qualifications?
Our founding fathers wanted regular folks to go to Washington and that's what I am. I'm not a millionaire, or a lawyer and I don't have money in the stock market. I don't know anybody in Washington. There's nothing I would vote on that I have a personal stake in. Most of our representatives in Washington are representing themselves, their friends and their families. I don't care how many of us are raising cain, contacting them, telling them how we feel about things; they already have their minds made up. You're wasting your time to contact them, that irritated me. They're being paid to represent us, not themselves. I can't imagine lying to people. I have a hard enough time keeping track of things when I'm being honest. If you're representing the people and they tell you to vote a certain way, if anybody gives you a hard time about it, you just tell them that you're representing the will of the people. That is what they are supposed to be doing, but none of mine are.
Third party candidates have a reputation for being spoilers for the two major parties. Do you agree with this assessment?
No, I don't. I was a little concerned about that initially. There was a pretty good guy running for the republican nomination, I almost hesitated to run because of him. From what I could tell he seemed like a good guy and I was sure he'd win the nomination. The guy who was running against him is always running for office. He finally gets elected and a year later, he's already running for another office. That guy got the nomination instead of the guy I thought sounded pretty good. I'm glad I didn't give up. I remember one election where our senator didn't have anybody running against him. That should never happen.
Why do you think that you have a better chance than past third party candidates?
I believe I'm the only woman who's ever run, and people are fed up with the two major parties. There are less than 50% of the population who now consider themselves a democrat or a republican. There are more independents and 3rd party voters than the two major parties. The democrats and republicans have failed America. The people are waking up to that fact.
Same-sex marriage appears to be heading toward legalization in most states.
I'm heterosexual, I can't even fathom how men are attracted to men and women are attracted to women. But I don't care what they want to do, if men want to marry men, if women want to marry women I don't care. The only one who has the right to judge them is God. I believe that people should be free to do what they want. Personally, I think it's wrong morally; but I would have to leave it up to my constituents, however they want me to vote. I would represent the people, not myself.
What is your opinion on oil fracking? Do you have any environmental concerns about it?
I don't know enough about it to have an opinion. I've read some pros and cons, but I don't know who's telling the truth. Each side is a special interest, there's something they're trying to gain by being for or against it. If people have a vested interest you can't trust them. I can't really say if I'm for or against it because I don't know enough at this point but again it would be up to my constituents to tell me what they want me to do.
Do you support an increase in alternative forms of energy, including green energy such as solar and wind?
I support it if it's realistic and cost effective. I think we need to find another way besides fossil fuels. I think it can be done. There are powerful people that make a lot of money off of fossil fuels. I've read that the government doesn't want to hear about alternative forms of energy because those who make all that money donate to the campaigns of those who get in the way of alternative fuels. It's hard to know who to believe. That's a plus for me, I don't have a personal interest in anything. I can be as unbiased as any representative in Washington. I don't think anyone is as unattached to Washington as I am.
Do you support the legalization of marijuana? I do, even though I can't stand the smell of it. If it never becomes legal I'd personally be okay with it because I can't stand the smell, but I know it really helps some people and those people shouldn't have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get the help they need. I know someone who was born hyperactive, literally bouncing off the walls. He's like that naturally. They gave him drugs as a child so he could pay attention in school, and he hated it. He'd spit the pills out because they made him feel weird. He discovered pot in high school and it made him feel normal. If pot makes him better, and makes him feel normal, he should be able to smoke it. I've read many stories of people being helped by it. I see no reason to continue the war on marijuana when there are so many who can benefit from it.
Do you have any lasting concerns about the regulatory and safety of marijuana?
No, not really. All the reading that I've done seems to support the fact that it's only a problem because it's illegal, just like prohibition. When alcohol was illegal crime was rampant, and when they let people drink again, crime went down. Now it's drugs. Gang association and crime are because it's illegal. It makes criminals out of people who wouldn't normally hurt a soul. I read about someone who was sent to prison for 80 years because cops coerced him into selling some marijuana. He's already served 20 years. I think that is more than enough. Peoples' families have been destroyed by this "war" against drugs. That's horrible. I think it's time to bring it to an end.
What is your opinion on gun rights?
I'm very strongly pro Second Amendment. You'll never get me to vote against the Second Amendment or change it in any way. I believe that it's our right to defend ourselves. It was originally set up so we could defend ourselves from a tyrannical government. The government is calling those who support it potential terrorists and criminals and that's baloney. That really irritates me.
What, if anything, will you do in order to make the Affordable Care Act more palatable to your constituents?
I wouldn't do anything to make it easier to swallow. It has nothing to do with health care, it's to control us. I would vote to repeal it. The costs are astronomical. We're fortunate that my husband works for a company that has a good plan. But the costs are going up, we're paying more, his employer is paying more. I looked into it, if we had no choice but to get it at our age, it would cost us $2,000 a month. I didn't check the deductibles, but from what I could gather it looked like it would be around $7,500 a year, plus we'd be paying 25 percent of everything. We couldn't afford that, there's no way. If there was something life threatening we'd have to live with it (or not). I think it's unconstitutional, we didn't ask for it and we are being forced to buy it? It would have been less expensive just to help those who had catastrophic or pre-existing conditions and leave the rest of us alone.
Do you support school choice in the form of vouchers?
Yes I do. There is another thing that I'm really passionate about and that is Common Core and the Department of Education. As best I can calculate, the Department of Education spent $38 billion last year. If we got rid of the Department of Education and returned the money to the taxpayers, the parents and teachers could decide what the kids need. I've looked at Common Core. They treat all students the same. Bright kids are having problems learning some of what is being taught and are getting discouraged, not to mention the kids who aren't that bright. They need to learn life skills as well. Combined classes of all levels of student performance hampers the learning of all students. No one benefits from Common Core, except for the bureaucrats and corporations getting involved with education. The taxpayers, the students and education all suffer.
Do you support an increase in the minimum wage?
No, I don't. I don't agree with the minimum wage because I believe that employers (if that person has started their own business) should have the right to pay their employees what they're worth to the employer. If you don't think you're getting what you are worth, go get another job. I think employers should decide. If someone like my sister, who has a learning disability, could have a lower skilled job and get paid less, that's really good for them. When they can't get any job, that destroys a person's self esteem. I think dictating wages by the federal government is ridiculous. Seattle raised theirs to $15 per hour, and now the people aren't happy. Now they can't get overtime because the employers can't afford it. Employees have to get another job, so they're working the same amount but without the time and a half. People are losing hours, they're losing insurance, and they are losing income. I don't think it's any the government's business.
How would you handle the current immigration crisis?
I would send them all back to where they came from. It's not fair to people who've gone about it the right way and followed the law. The politicians supported a free for all for selfish reasons. They don't care about immigration, they don't care about what it's doing to the country. They just want more people voting and voting for them. I heard about a senator who said he'd rather see a child sold into slavery than lose his senate seat. I don't know how someone can feel that way and live with themselves, and we should not be voting for people like that.
Do you have anything else you'd like to add?
If I get elected I will have a problem. I can't see my face to put on my makeup without glasses. I'm would have to take my sister with me so she can help me put my make-up on. She's really good at that. That way she will have a job and I will look presentable!

The Biggest Names in Pro Cycling Share their Thoughts on the USPCC
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
Just two days before the start of the 2012 US Pro Cycling Challenge, many key riders got a chance to share their thoughts about racing at altitude, Colorado fans, the Olympics, recovering from injuries and beating American riders on American soil at today's USPCC Press Conference:
Taylor Phinney (USA)
BMC Racing Team
On riding in the London Olympics:
"The Olympics were great. Two fourth place finishes is sort of a bittersweet place to finish up. As a country, I think we really finished up really well there."
On the USA Pro Challenge:
"I'm excited for this race. This is my home race. I missed it last year. I was just struggling in the Vuelta a Espana. I would go to bed and just be crying watching these guys in the USA Pro Challenge. I'm excited to be here and pay back my friend Tejay for the outstanding work he did in the Olympics. We have a great team here. This is a great opportunity for us and for me. I'm so so happy to be here."
On his Colorado roots:
"I am Colorado born and bred, but I haven't raced in Colorado in four years or so. To come back is really fabulous. On the way here, we were just looking up at the mountains thinking, 'these are awesome.' I'm excited to support Colorado at this race. And hoping to do really well and get that BMC jersey to the top step of the podium."
On his goal for the race:
"The last day is going to be a spectacle and the distance is going to be perfect for me. I'm really targeting that day."
Tejay van Garderen (USA)
BMC Racing Team
On his racing in July:
"July was a fun month. It went better than I could have imagined. It's one of those things...it's fun now that it's over. Even during that month I had in the back of my mind that I still wanted to be fit and ready for the USA Pro Challenge because it's my hometown race."
On the race last year and goals for this year:
"I think the crowds and the organization blew everyone away. I was motivated last year as well. I remember when Levi took the jersey off me last year...it was pretty emotional. I'm hoping to pull it off this year and maybe take the jersey home. I'm going to fight here for the victory"
On his schedule:
"I had a pretty busy schedule from April through the Olympics, which is why I decided to skip Utah. I love that so many American races are getting bigger."
Tom Danielson (USA)
On what it's like to be back here in Durango:
"As we all know, this is really my hometown. I started my cycling career here at Fort Lewis. I grew my cycling career here with the community. And just being here with the race start is just amazing! I'm blessed to be part of this Durango community."
On his injury at the Tour de France:
"July sucked. That's bike racing. That's our sport. That's what we do. We're addicted to the challenge. Levi was a big motivation to me and just seeing how he overcame his injury. You have to give it everything."
On the USA Pro Challenge:
"I love this race. I love Durango. I love Boulder. I love everything in between. We are ready to give it all and kick some ass. This is what we do as bike riders. We pick ourselves up and get it done."
On the varying degree of climbs in the race:
"Initially when you look at a climb you think nothing is going to happen on the short ones and the long ones will be difficult. You have to know your limits. I think the short climbs will be decisive. The level of riders that we have here with the first guys punching it at the front, they will take everyone to their limit. Flagstaff is going to be nasty. Altitude does crazy stuff."
Christian Vande Velde (USA)
On what the race means to him:
"Just having the opportunity to race this caliber race in U.S., let alone at home in Colorado means a lot to us. We always dreamed of this as young and even older professional riders. Judging by last year, I can't even dream of what this year will bring us. You always want to do well on your home soil."
On the team:
"We have great depth to our team and we have a few other tricks up our sleeves. Pete Stetina is looking pretty good. The team is looking forward to the race and hopefully we'll have as much success, if not more, than last year."
On decisive points in the race:
"I think the race is going to be nickel and dimed throughout the whole thing. For sure Flagstaff is going to be brutal, but it just depends on how the race plays out."
Levi Leipheimer (USA)
Omega Pharma-QuickStep
On the inaugural USA Pro Challenge:
"Last year was fantastic. You could really feel that Colorado has been bursting at the seams for a race of this caliber for 23 years, since the Coors Classic. People just came out with all that enthusiasm. Last year's race was epic. It was awesome. I've been looking forward to it ever since we finished that memorable day in Denver last year."
On his most memorable moments from the 2011 race:
"There were a lot of great moments last year, but the Vail time trail was so special. I read about that time trial when I was 13 years old (Coors Classic). That was a very emotional day. It's hard to pick out one moment though."
On his recovery:
"Any injury is difficult to come back from. That was one of the hardest in my career. You have no choice but to work as hard as you can and come back as strong as you can. I feel good and I'm looking forward to racing here in Colorado."
On the route this year:
"It's going to be difficult and it's daunting because there's not a lot of opportunities to gain time, but there is a lot of opportunities to lose time."
Cadel Evans (AUS)
BMC Racing Team
On coming to the USA Pro Challenge:
"Last year I came to the inaugural race for two reasons – I've raced a lot in Colorado. It's been 18 years since I first visited Durango. Also, I just thought it's a great place to have a race. It fits so well in the world of cycling. I was excited to see it work so well last year. I'm more than happy to come back again this year."
On racing at altitude:
"One of the biggest difficulties to those of us coming from Europe is coming over here and adapting to altitude, but fortunately we have Tejay who lives here. I've been over here for a week to train and trying to minimize the difficulties. I don't think you can eliminate them on this kind of course, but I want to minimize them as much as possible."
On beating the Americans:
"With bike races, we want to win whenever we can. There are only so many days to prepare, but we're bike racers so we want to win wherever we can."
Vincenzo Nibali (ITA)
On Colorado and the race ahead:
"This is the first time that I have been to Colorado and I am pretty happy for the welcoming I have received so far. I arrived a few days ago for small training camp. I think it's going to be a good race with strong riders and it's going to be ok."
On the altitude:
"It's difficult for the Europeans to ride at these elevations for this week."
On the team:
"We have a really strong team here. It's young, but strong. The team is really strong and we expect a good race here."
Jens Voigt (GER)
On what makes the USA Pro Challenge special:
"It's the warm welcome from the fans and I continue to be surprised by how far they've traveled. There are people here from Florida, and that's not exactly around the corner. Last year up on Independence Pass, they were stands a few lines deep. It was a goosebumps feeling with people yelling at you and cheering."
On his team:
"We brought a good team here. We have Matt Buche, who just finished second in the Tour of Utah, we have Chris Horner. I think we probably have somebody for each position. We don't expect too many sprinter finishes, which is why we didn't bring a sprinter. I wouldn't say we feel intimidated, but look at the team that BMC has up here. There are a whole bunch of great riders and great teams here."
On retirement:
"That's not in my vocabulary. Sorry."

I've found an interesting site the attempts to tell you how influential you are.
The problem is that it comes to this "score" based on how often you post to Facebook, how often you Tweet and how active you are with other social media.
In other words, if you are influential in ways that do not include the online world you have a low level of influence on Klout.com.
However, if you are very active online you might be interested in what your Klout rating is. The site says the average score is 40. I'm a 10. One of the people I follow on Twitter, ESPN Sportscaster Mark May, is a 79. Everyone else is below 40.
In today's world, do I need to be very active in social media in order to be influential? I hope not. I have friends that aren't on Facebook or Twitter, but I believe them to be influential in their communities.
But if I'm interested in how active online I am compared to others, this is an interesting tool.Warren Mills is the webmaster for WTHR-TV. He has been building and working on web sites since the mid-1990s.

Before the days of Twitch, YouTube Let's Plays and 24/7 video game news sites, video game fans relied heavily on print media to learn their way around their favorite games. Special strategy guides with detailed maps and tips from the pros were especially popular in the pre-internet era.
One man, 32-year-old Brian Smith of Colorado Springs, Colorado, is working to bring that bygone era to the modern day.
"The classic publications of Nintendo Power were great," Smith stated. "Back in the day before the Internet they were one of the only sources of information on how to get past that part of the game you just couldn't figure out. They were high quality and fun to read, and its too bad they aren't published anymore."
During his modern-day efforts to collect merchandise for Nintendo Entertainment System classic The Adventures of Lolo, Smith noted that strategy guides were printed only for the first and third games in the puzzle game series. He decided to do something about this apparent oversight.
"Since I loved Adventures of Lolo for the NES as a kid and was never able to buy it at the time, about five years ago I set out on a quest to collect the games and merchandise in the Lolo / Eggerland series, which is a quite large series with all of the Japanese Eggerland titles," he recalled. "The USA release of Adventures of Lolo had three titles in the series, and Hal published strategy guides for the original Adventures of Lolo, and the Adventures of Lolo 3, which I added to my collection. But they never published a strategy guide for the Adventures of Lolo 2. I don't know if it is because I am OCD or what, but it bugged me that they published a guide for the first and third titles in the series, but not the second. So I decided I would write and publish my own guide for the Adventures of Lolo 2."
After publishing his throwback guide for the second Lolo title, Smith found further inspiration. After viewing one of the many video game documentary films of recent years, he was moved to follow up with a second strategy guide for an even more iconic puzzle game classic.
"The Tricks of the Classic NES Tetris Masters book came about after I watched the awesome Ecstasy of Order documentary movie about the Tetris World Championships," he said. "It was incredible to see what the world's top NES Tetris players could do in the game. After watching the movie I went online to find out how they managed to play the way they did at Level 19 and beyond, which seemed completely impossible to me. After a lot of research I was only able to pick up a little information here and there about the tricks of the game, and I couldn't find anything with complete, detailed information on how to master the game. So I decided the best way to learn for myself was to write a book on it."
Smith stated that each book took around six months to complete, due in large part to taking time to receive feedback from known NES experts via noted Nintendo fan websites. The result of his hard work is a pair of books with the look and feel of the classic Nintendo strategy guides with the advantage of decades of expert play strategies.
"For classic games I think the physical strategy guide book has some appeal over a website or video," Smith added. "Physical books have high quality information, can be collected and have that retro feel like they did back in the day."
Both of Smith's throwback strategy guides are available on Amazon.com.

COMPANIES operating vehicle fleets are becoming more discerning, targeted and sophisticated with their driver training as the range of options on the market grows.
According to Jonathan Mosley, director of sales and marketing at E-Training World, gone are the days when every driver would be 'plonked' on a half day course, with companies now mixing online training with in-vehicle tuition, and addressing specific issues rather than opting for a 'sheep dip' approach.
He said: 'If a company used to have a poor accident record, many would simply place all drivers through an in-vehicle course. However that happens far less often nowadays.
'Most businesses use an initial online risk assessment to draw up a profile of each driver, so that they can determine their strengths and weaknesses. In many cases this is then compared to accident records and fuel usage to decide what training is required, if any, and what form of training is most appropriate.
'With such an extensive array of online courses available as well as the traditional on-road defensive driver training, fleet managers can select a menu of training interventions that will be pertinent to each driver – whether that's speed awareness, manoeuvring, use of mobile phones or whatever the issue is that is causing accidents and costs to rise.
'All drivers are different and this results in a far more sophisticated approach, as well as channelling investment into the right areas.'

Washington D.C. —Today's approval by the House of Representatives of federal telework legislation sets the stage for a welcome and much-needed potential expansion of telework among federal employees, said President Colleen M. Kelley of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).NTEU has been the leading advocate for expanded telework opportunities among federal workers and supported H.R. 1722, a bipartisan bill sponsored by Reps. John Sarbanes (D-Md.), Frank Wolf (R-Va.) and Gerald Connolly (D-Va.). "Passage of this legislation is a terrific step forward for employees, their agencies and the public," President Kelley said. "Increasing federal telework saves gas, reduces road congestion and improves work-life balance."The House now joins the Senate in actively pushing federal agencies to increase telework opportunities among federal workers. The Senate approved similar legislation in May, which NTEU also supported. Minor differences in the two bills will need to be reconciled before final passage.The companion bills require agencies to have a written telework policy and to appoint a telework managing officer. Additionally, the legislation would expand telework opportunities for greater numbers of federal workers by ensuring that all those eligible for telework could do so.The legislation also creates a pilot program for trademark attorneys at the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) that cuts down on the number of days employees who telework from outside the commuting area are required to come into the office.President Kelley, who sent a letter earlier this week urging every member of the House to vote yes on the legislation, noted that a recent survey of federal employees showed that only 10 percent telework at least one day a week. The same report said that an additional 23 percent would do so if permitted by their agency.NTEU has not only encouraged expanded telework opportunities generally among federal agencies, it has pushed them both to develop well-defined programs with eligibility guidelines agreed to in negotiations with employee representatives and to generate increased support from all levels of management, but most particularly from those at the front lines of the workplace."I am confident that as more and more front line and middle managers become willing to accept telework as a valuable tool to help accomplish their agency's mission, the built-in success of these programs will feed on itself and lead, in turn, to still more telework opportunities throughout government. Everyone wins with a well-designed, effective telework program," President Kelley saidAs the largest independent federal union, NTEU represents 150,000 employees in 31 agencies and departments.

Another baffle clearing for today, I'm finally getting to an embarrassingly childish review of Proving History by Stephanie Louise Fisher (a doctoral student in biblical studies). Her review (published through that nutter R. Joseph Hoffmann's website…and I'm not throwing "nutter" around lightly, I genuinely think he might be insane) is ironically titled An Exhibition of Incompetence: Trickery Dickery Bayes. Ironically, because she betrays her incompetence in logic and mathematics and reading comprehension throughout, and yet is claiming I'm the one who is incompetent. Her review is also close to libelous and on at least two occasions overtly dishonest.
The immaturity of the review, with its gratuitous insults and intemperance and slanders and complete failure to actually engage with the book, gave it a low priority for me, since it really just discredits itself to any mature reader. But now I have time to cover it. Even right off the bat, a review written like this demonstrates no sense of irony in its author who opens with the claim that they are the one "drawing attention to [my] unprofessional attitudes and prejudices." Her absurdly repetitious claims of my alleged incompetence characterize the whole thing, despite my having a Ph.D. in the history of ancient religion and philosophy from a top ranked university, and a published background in mathematical arguments (in peer reviewed journals no less), as well as official training in statistics, calculus and electronics engineering…and despite my book having been formally peer reviewed by a professor of mathematics and a professor of biblical studies. (Note that Fisher, at present, and so far as I can discern, can claim none of these qualifications.)
Certainly, claims of incompetence have to be backed up with considerable evidence in the face of such conditions and qualifications. Fisher provides none. Let's look at what she does argue. [Read more…]

This burger was absolutely delicious!!! I didn't use cilantro but they were still a big hit with my very picky husband and son!
"Fajita" Burgers
From EatingWell: May/June 2008, July/August 2012
This healthy burger recipe features a spicy fajita burger slathered with a spicy chipotle mayonnaise and topped with roasted Anaheim peppers and a delicious slaw. Serve it on an oblong bun.
8 Reviews for "Fajita" Burgers
This may be the best burger I've ever had! Great flavor! I thought the cilantro would be the overpowering taste, but that was not the case at all. Be careful not use too much chipotle chiles - they pack a lot of heat; but they also pack a lot of flavor. Everone liked these and I will definitely be making these again!
My husband loved these burgers!! (I was not able to try them). I improvised a ton and they still turned out great. I was out of Chili powered, so I added a little extra of the other spices (especially cumin) I also added some Cayenne pepper. I only had white onions, and no scallions so I chopped a bit more white to add. I used red peppers because that is what I had. Also created my own sauce, with mayo, lime juice, chili paste and a few drops of hot sauce. My husband it wasn't a stand out in a bad or good way, but loved the whole burger! Can't wait to try it with the right ingredients! Maybe some mini burger appetizers......
These were no ordinary burgers. Absolutely delicious. Everyone wanted more.
These are AMAZING. My husband is very picky and so it's hard to find foods, especially healthier foods, that he will like! He LOVED these. I will be making these often.
