In the 1930s, Shirley Temple was America's sweetheart, a hugely popular child star with enough personality and charm to hold even the Great Depression at bay. With her dimples and curls, she became an enduring icon of Hollywood's softer side, although her box office power faded as she grew up. After a short-lived marriage to actor John Agar in the late 1940s, Temple retired from films, married Charles Black, and reinvented herself as a political figure and ambassador. Still, the image of the precocious musical star lives on in books, dolls, and the popular imagination, and her movies continue to appeal to little girls and classic film fans today. Born in 1928, Temple died on February 10, 2014, at the age of 85, but you can still see her in her prime in these ten classic movies, which represent some of her best performances.
1) "Little Miss Marker" (1934) - In this early starring role, Temple plays a child who is left in the care of a bookie and ends up stealing his heart. Adolphe Menjou costars as Sorrowful Jones, and Alexander Hall directs.
2) "Bright Eyes" (1934) - Temple plays an orphan who is sent to live with a wealthy couple; David Butler directs a cast that includes Jane Darwell, Jane Withers, and James Dunn.
3) "The Little Colonel" (1935) - In the first of two Civil War era films, Temple stars as the daughter of a Southern belle and a Union supporter. Lionel Barrymore plays her disgruntled Confederate grandfather, and the rest of the cast includes Hattie McDaniel, Bill Robinson, Evelyn Venable, and John Lodge. Temple would return to similar territory with "The Littlest Rebel" (1935), with Bill Robinson also returning to dance with the tiny star.
4) "Curly Top" (1935) - Back in her usual orphan guise, Temple plays one of two sisters taken in by a wealthy man, who then falls in love with the elder girl (Rochelle Hudson). The supporting cast includes Jane Darwell, Rafaela Ottiano, and Arthur Treacher.
5) "Stowaway" (1936) - As the orphaned daughter of missionaries in China, Temple spends this picture finding herself a new family, with Robert Young and Alice Faye as the replacement parents she has to bring together. Eugene Pallette, Arthur Treacher, Willie Fung, and J. Edward Bromberg make up the supporting cast, and William A. Seiter directs.
6) "Wee Willie Winkie" (1937) - Temple makes one of her darkest films with legendary director John Ford in this loose adaptation of a story by Rudyard Kipling. Victor McLaglen wrings tears as a soldier whose heart warms to the little girl, while Cesar Romero has a memorable role as an Indian rebel.
7) "Heidi" (1937) - Allan Dwan directs this adaptation of the beloved children's book by Johanna Spyri, in which Temple shines as the title heroine, an orphaned girl left to live with her grandfather in the mountains. Jean Hersholt costars as the grandfather, while Arthur Treacher, Mary Nash, Sig Ruman, and Marcia Mae Jones appear in supporting roles.
8) "The Little Princess" (1939) - In another literary adaptation, Temple plays one of her signature roles as Sara Crewe, who begins life in comfort and wealth but is thrown into poverty when her father goes missing in the Boer War. Cesar Romero, Mary Nash, Arthur Treacher, and Anita Louise appear in memorable supporting roles.
9) "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" (1947) - Temple stars in one of her better known teen roles as a young girl smitten by the charms of Cary Grant in this comedy from director Irving Reis. Myrna Loy plays Temple's successful older sister, while Rudy Vallee appears as Grant's romantic competition for Loy's attention.
10) "Fort Apache" (1948) - Temple returns to a John Ford film for this excellent Western, which also stars Henry Fonda, John Wayne, and Temple's then-husband, John Agar. Ford regulars like Ward Bond and Victor McLaglen round out the cast.
For even more movies starring Shirley Temple, try "Captain January" (1936), "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" (1938), "The Blue Bird" (1940), and "Since You Went Away" (1944). Learn more about Temple by watching the video at the top of this article.

I looked a bit but didn't see any duplicate of this so my question is which free (open source) OS do you use on servers and why do you use that OS?
I have a VPS at Linode. There is a broad range of options for which OS I can put on it including both 32 and 64bit OSs. I just use it to run my small blog and for hosting random files. It's very low traffic.
I have been using 64-bit Arch Linux on my VPS and though I love the OS for general usage, for a server the constant breakage is troublesome. So I'm considering trying something new and am looking for suggestions.

Commission considering Florida Power & Light rate increase
Published: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 1:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 1:54 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE - The state's consumer advocate is participating under protest in a hearing on Florida Power & Light Co.'s proposed rate settlement.
The Public Service Commission on Monday began the hearing scheduled for up to three days in Tallahassee.
Public Council J.R. Kelly says the settlement between Florida's largest electric utility and a small number of business customers is a bad deal for other consumers.
That's because it includes elements not in FPL's original request to raise base rates by $690.4 million per year effective in January.
The proposal would increase rates by only $378 million in 2013, but Kelly says they'd go up by more than $1 billion annually by the end of the four-year agreement.
FPL contends it would be in the best interest of all customers.

This is an easy-going but potentially quite dramatic plant, since the foliage takes on reddish tints around the edges in hot, dry conditions especially towards autumn. This makes a spectacular trailing or ground-hugging background for the flattish clusters of gold and bronze-orange tinted flowers that are produced from mid-summer into early autumn. It looks good teamed with Euphorbia dulcis 'Chameleon' in a well-drained border, and also grows well in cracks and crevices in walls and pavements.

Slowly learning (warning: long, honest, and emotional post and a little bit of belly-aching)
Friday, February 22, 2013
I'd like to rant just a little bit:
Is it possible to eat right/lose weight *and* still stay above my anxiety and depression? I get so overwhelmed sometimes with just life that the thought of trying to count calories and fitness minutes completely overwhelms me. What am I missing?
OK, rant over. Now time for honesty.
This whole "healthy lifestyle" experience has been a real struggle for me.
I suffer with depression and anxiety and while I may feel great for months, January and most of February were not included in that greatness. Looking back, I feel like much of the last month and a half are in a blur. At one point I was so stressed that it was all I could do to just get up and go to work. Forget about counting calories and doing weigh-ins, exercising and drinking tons of water - I was just trying to survive.
Now that the worst has passed and I am feeling a bit better mentally and physically, I am trying to think about what I can do differently to stay on top of things more. There are times when I almost feel disconnected from myself - like my outer life is on auto-pilot and my insides are shutting down because I am so stressed. Usually after talking it over with my counselor and really facing my situations, things are better. But now I'm trying to process what I can do better in order to keep from getting to that place.
I know that stress is never going to stop. I know that deadlines are going to loom and frustrations will never end. What can I do differently to keep these things from shutting me down emotionally?
I realized as I was processing these things this past week that I viewed taking care of myself as doing something relaxing or fun (which it can be sometimes!). However, I forgot that taking care of myself is also a responsibility. It may not always feel like the easiest thing to do. It may not always be what my body *wants* to do. Either way, good self care includes doing the things that I need to do to stay healthy.
This includes:
- getting adequate sleep
- moving more (a little is better than none. maybe I should quit aiming for miles and go for just one?)
- drink more water (so I didn't get eight glasses in - six is sure better than one)
- make better choices (last night, instead of binging on cookie dough, I just had a "cookie size" - and stopped there. yay!)
- healthy substitutions (tonight I'll be using light alfredo instead of full fat)
- processing the whole journey...writing and thinking things through
- don't give up after one bad day (oops, guilty!)
- talking to my support group instead of hiding in shame
Self care is not going to exclude doing something fun and relaxing, but maybe I can exchange my comforting rituals (sleeping, eating, watching TV) for something healthier (eating a better snack, drinking hot tea, walking on my treadmill while I watch a show).
I'm pretty much writing this to brainstorm and to prove to myself that I do know how to make better choices. That it is ok to not be perfect, but to strive for something better.
Oh yeah, I also realized last night that I have this craving/urge for food if it is available. If there is something good available (pizza, cookies, pasta) I feel like I can't say no because I'm afraid I'll miss out or feel dissatisfied. Hmmm, sounds like a mental/emotional thing I need to get over.
And now, if you are still reading, thank you for hanging in there with me. If you have any suggestions or advice, I would love to hear from you. Or if you struggle with depression/anxiety/anxiety disorders and have/are successfully losing weight, I would love to hear what works for you.

Friends, loved ones, and supporters of missing Michigan mother Jessica Heeringa will host a fundraiser Saturday, November 30, 2013, in Lowell, MI, in an effort to fund search efforts related to her disappearance.
It was shortly after 10:50 p.m., on Friday, April 26, 2013, when Jessica Heeringa vanished from her job as a night clerk at the Exxon Mobil gas station in Norton Shores. It is believed she was abducted shortly before her shift was scheduled to end.
A customer who found the store deserted alerted police -- who then responded -- found the store empty, and Jessica gone.
The 25-year-old blonde-haired, blue-eyed mother of one seemed to vanish without a trace, boggling law enforcement, and leaving many unanswered questions for her family, friends, and fiancee. This weekend, her loved ones and supporters will gather to honor Jessica, and to raise funds that will directly offset expenses related to the search effort to locate her.
The fundraiser will be held from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday, November 30, 2013, at Larkin's The Other Place, 301 Main Street, Lowell, Michigan. There will be 50/50 raffles, food, drinks, desserts and music, for a $20 per-person entry fee.
The event is being organized by Jill Sloma, a close friend of the Heeringa family. We spoke with Karlene Bradford, one of the volunteers for Saturday's event -- via phone -- from her home in Michigan.
Jessica was gone without a trace; and this is our effort to keep her name and face in the forefront, while funding the efforts of the private investigator who will help us find her".
Those efforts include the creation and distribution of missing person's fliers, search-and-rescue (SAR) efforts, and following up on leads and tips submitted in the case.
The suspected abduction of Jessica Heeringa has generated support -- and assistance -- from hundreds of people in and around the United States, who vow not to stop until she is found and returned to her family.
Jessica has brought together so many people, and doesn't even know it," Bradford said. There's not a moment I can't say we need volunteers to do this or that; and they step up every time. So many people are helping to find her, and I want them to know how grateful we are for their help and support".
Very little information has been released regarding the disappearance of Jessica Heeringa, which is currently being handled by the Norton Shores Police Department. In May 2013, Newser.com reported a small amount of blood belonging to Jessica had been identified by law enforcement, giving her family hope that she fought her alleged abductor, was not mortally injured, and is still alive. The information is providing hope to her loved ones that Jessica is still out there, and they are asking for an intensified search and investigation, hoping "fresh eyes" will lead them to finding her.
Jessica's family is now asking for the case to be transferred to the jurisdiction of the Michigan State Police (MSP) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). For those wishing to support that request, the petition may be signed here.
At the time of her disappearance, Jessica Heeringa was 25 years' old (now 26), with shoulder-length, strawberry-blonde hair, weighing approximately 100 pounds. She has blue eyes -- one of which is a lazy eye -- and wears wire-rimmed glasses. At the time she was believed to have been abducted, Jessica was wearing a bright blue polo short with 'Sternberg Exxon' on it, a black tank top underneath, blue jeans, and high-heeled boots. She also has several tattoos: a music note and peace sign on her left ankle, a star on her back, sleeping "zzzzz's" on her left foot, and a sun & moon on her right calf.
A $15,160 reward is being offered for any information relating to the recovery of Jessica Heeringa. Fifteen thousand of the reward was donated by her employer, Exxon Mobil.
Anyone with information related to Jessica's disappearance is asked to call the Norton Shores, MI, Police Department at: 231-733-2691.
The organizers of Saturday's event would like to offer a special "thank you" to the following for their support and donations to the fundraiser: Larkin's Other Place, Daisy Floral, D.J ... A and W Disc Jockey's , Lowell Floral, The Barefoot Gardner, Subway, Jet's Pizza, Fazoli's, Papa Johns, El Mariachi, Mecican Grill, Canfields Plumbing, City Looks, East Town Salon, Riverbend East Salon, Shakedown Street, Spring Grove Smokey Mountain Tobacco Danielle's Beads, Sherri Veihl Talcott, Diane MaGraw Weemhoff, Yvonne Maurer, Deb Hartman, Tammy Patrick, Colleen Pelz, Bethanne Bouwman Cupp, Marge Bechtold Cherneski , Sheila Radeke Herrington, Cody Dykhuis, Karlene Bradford & family, Dan Sloma, Terri Nevins, Mary Kimbel. In addition, they want to thank the the "Help Find Jessica Heeringa" & "Find Jessica Heeringa" groups for all the dedication(s) they have made to help bring Jessica home.

The D&E Senators baseball team entered the weekend series against WV Wesleyan with their backs against the wall in hopes of earning a spot in the WVIAC baseball tournament. With inclement weather approaching Saturday both teams took the field hoping to get the doubleheader played.
Game one started out well for the home team as they would score two runs in the bottom of the 1st inning. Senior Brenton Kopecek led off the game with a single and advanced to second on a balk by Bobcats pitcher Andrew Ornes. Two batters later, Junior Matt Barr delivered an RBI double to left field scoring Kopecek with the first run. Barr would score later in the inning after an Eric Doyle double and a single by Lance Vannoy.
Pitcher Josh Kehr held the Bobcats scoreless through the first two innings allowing his team to jump out to a 3-0 lead. The Bobcats would answer, though, in the top of the 3rd with a 3-run HR by Mark Darlington that would tie the score at three. The game would remain tied until the bottom of the 7th inning as both pitchers did a good job of keeping the hitters off balance.
With two outs and Kyle Crist at first base, Doyle delivered his second double of the game allowing Crist to score all the way from first with the game winning run.
Kehr picked up the victory to pick up his third win of the season. On the day, he had 7 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 BB.
Offensively, the Senators were led by Brad Banzhoff who was 3-for-3 with a 2B and 3B. Eric Doyle ended the game 3-for-4 with 2 2B and an RBI. Brenton Kopecek was 2-for-3 with a 2B and a run scored.
As game two got underway, the rain clouds began rolling through Elkins. The game would be halted in the middle of the 4th due to the rainfall with the intent of starting it at this point Sunday afternoon.
The restart of the game, however, was met with controversy as Bobcats head coach Randy Tenney claimed to not have agreed to a halted game before start of play on Saturday. The game was concluded under protest by WV Wesleyan.
The Senators picked up the 9-2 victory in the protested game.
Before the game was halted, the Senator bats jumped out to a 6-run lead, scoring five in the 2nd and one in the 3rd. Wesleyan would score two runs in their half of the 4th before the rains put a stop to the action for the day. With the Senators leading 6-2, the game was halted by the umpiring crew. As play resumed Sunday afternoon, the Senators picked up where they left off, scoring three more runs in the bottom of the 4th to put the game away.
Senior LHP Zach McElroy picked up the win going all seven innings over the two days. He gave up just two unearned runs on four hits while walking four and striking out four. His 98 pitches were broken down to 65 on Saturday and 33 on Sunday.
Catcher Eric Doyle finished the game going 2-for-3 with a 2B, 3-runs, and 2 RBI. Freshman Lance Vannoy went 2-for-3 with a run. Drew Ford was 2-for-4 with a run and 2 RBI.
The final game of the 3-game series didn't start off well for the Senators as Wesleyan plated three unearned runs against starter Tripp Staley. The Senators would battle back scoring a single run in the 3rd and one in the 4th to cut the lead to 3-2. Wesleyan would score three more in the 5th to build a 6-2 lead. Again, the bats of D&E would scratch and claw to score single runs in the 7th and 9th innings. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be enough as Wesleyan took the win 6-4.
Lance Vannoy went 2-for-4 with a run scored. Brad Banzhoff was 2-for-3 with a run scored. Matt Barr connected for his 8th home run of the season in the 9th inning.
Staley worked 4 1/3 innings giving up 6 runs on 10 hits, walking one and striking out five in taking the loss.
The Senators have two more games left against Bluefield State at Harpertown Field on the Allen Athletic Complex next Saturday, May 5th beginning at 1:00 pm.

Mara Abbott 1st American to win overall Giro Donne
Monza, Italy (July 11, 2010) — Mara Abbott (Boulder, Colo./Peanut Butter & Co TWENTY 12) riding for the USA Cycling Women's National Development Program, won the overall Giro Donne today in Italy. The 25-year-old soloed to wins in stages 8 and 9 and finished in the main pack in Sunday's final stage 10 to win the race's general classification. The team exercised its strategy perfectly, defending Abbott's pink leader's jersey while her fellow USA Cycling and Peanut Butter & Co TWENTY 12 teammate Shelley Evans (Scott Valley, Calif.) took the sprint victory in the final stage on Sunday.
"I am very proud of these riders," said USA Cycling's women's endurance program manager and the team's director sportif Manel Lacambra. "Three stage wins and the overall victory is amazing for a national team. These girls displayed great teamwork even though it was the first time they had raced together. We are more than a team, we are friends working hard, growing and racing together for a win. Without the good work from everyone on the team we could not have won the hardest Giro d'Italia ever."
Abbott became the first rider from the United States to win the Giro Donne, following her second place finish last year. The former collegiate cycling star held onto a 2:05 margin over HTC-Columbia's Judith Arndt (GER) and another full minute over world champion Tatiana Guderzo (ITA/Team Valdarno) in the final standings.
On Friday, Abbott finished stage 6 from Chiavenna to Livigno one minute, 27 seconds ahead of Emma Pooley of Cervelo Test Team and 1:40 ahead of Arndt. The victory propelled Abbott into the maglia rosa after starting the day in sixth overall, 1:54 behind Dutch rider Marianne Vos.
The stage started to climb almost immediately, and the American women led the charge early on to set up Abbott. "The whole team was working full gas in front of the group," said Lacambra.
Abbott attacked about 28 kilometers into the stage, and only Pooley was able to stay on her wheel. By the 50K mark Abbott and Pooley shared a lead of 1:05 over the peloton. Eventually, the gap grew large enough that Abbott became the virtual leader on the course. Pooley began to fade before the second of three summits, the Passo Bernina, leaving Abbott to ride on her own through the finish line.
In Saturday's penultimate stage, Abbott again went off the front with Pooley amidst the mythical Stevlio climb, but in the final kilometers Abbott attacked and again rode solo to the stage win. Unfortunately, Abbott's USA Cycling Women's National Development Program teammate Amber Neben (Irvine, Calif./Webcor Builders) was involved in a downhill crash, breaking her clavicle.
The famed race concluded Sunday, July 11 in Monza, Italy, with Evans winning the bunch sprint ahead of Kirsten Wild (Cervelo TestTeam) of the Netherlands.
Supporting Abbott in Italy and integral in the USA Cycling Women's National Development Program's success were Amanda Miller (Fort Collins, Colo./Team TIBCO), Carmen Small (Durango, Colo./Colavita-BACI p/b Cooking Light), Sinead Miller (Pittsburgh, Pa./Peanut Butter & Co. TWENTY 12), Alison Starnes (Mill Valley, Calif./Team TIBCO), Theresa Cliff-Ryan (Cedar Springs, Mich./Colavita-BACI p/b Cooking Light), Neben, who was in seventh overall before the stage 9 crash, and Evans. Riding for her HTC-Columbia squad, American Evelyn Stevens (New York, N.Y/HTC-Columbia) was the next best American GC finisher in 15th overall.

My sister over in Queens is always telling me of these cool fellows she sees when she visits one of the many flea markets in Brooklyn. When she mentioned that one of them was Mast Brothers, my interest was immediately piqued and did my best to accompany her on one of her trips as soon as I could. I've heard of Mast Brothers before, and to be fair I had acquired these bars and had tasted them this past November. At the time there was only whispers about Mast Brothers on the internet, as they sold exclusively in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at the time. As of now they're found in select shops in the Five Boroughs with no online sales yet.
In recent months they've gotten lots of attention, one of the most notable was a write up in the New York Times. The Mast Brothers started from humble beginnings that they remind faithful to. They're New York City's only bean to bar chocolate maker, with each bar hand crafted by Rick and Michael using cacao beans acquired from small family coops. Needless to say, their ideas and processes are certainly heartfelt and full of quality.
When I was at their table at the flea market. I was immediately torn between the selections. Firstly, they have a lot to offer, and it was difficult deciding on which to try to get a good idea of their range and flavors. The other factor is the packaging. It's simply gorgeous. I felt the pull to try a bar that I wasn't as interested in, tasting wise, because the paper that it was wrapped in was just too beautiful. That's a good problem to pose to your customers.
I finally narrowed it down to three bars:
70% Dominican: Dark in color with a nice gloss and red undertones. The snap is hard and the break is clean with only intermittent air bubbles. I can tell there's lots of cocoa butter here, as it melts easily under my fingers as I hold up a piece to examine. The bar smells very fruity: berries, tart cherries, cranberries, coffee, cocoa, vanilla, coconut. It breaks nicely when bitten into. The flavor starts off cool and dry with light cocoa notes, then blooms with a tartness of red berries and coffee. Those tastes linger and fade away to leave a somewhat tannic flavor of cocoa powder and cream. The aftertaste is extremely clean. Love it.
80% Fleur De Sel: This bar's color is deep, dark brown with blue/gray undertones and a subtle sheen. The snap is hard with a nice solid break. The bar smells strongly of cocoa, coffee, caramel, and strawberries and coconut. The flavor is dry at first, but quickly opens to light flavors of cocoa, red fruits, coconut, and green coffee. I'm pleased as this chocolate is quite mild, especially for an 80%. There are only a few slight dry/tannic notes at the finish. Thankfully it's not sour at all. The salt is barely noticeable, as I taste them more as grit in the bar. If I really pay attention, I do notice a little saltiness, but it's not terribly noteworthy. A great bar.
60% Salt and Pepper: A nice medium brown color with only a very light gloss. There's flecks of pepper and salt easily visible in the bar's backside, and it's really beautiful. The chocolate smells lightly of chocolate (of course!) with notes of berries and coffee. The bite is soft and the chocolate is very creamy and smooth. You notice the light saltiness right away, and it really compliments the milky, caramel flavors of the chocolate. The pepper shows later, about halfway through the flavor. It tastes sharp and floral, but not overly so, it makes a great, spicy addition to the chocolate. Again, I love this, as it's unique and very tasty.
Needless to say. I'm impressed. I'm floored. This is some unique and tasty chocolate and I can't wait to get my hands on more.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA dropped 316.99 points to 16,563.37 on Thursday and another 69.93 points to finish at 16,493.37 on Friday and for the end of a week that saw the DJIA over 17,000, reported Marketwatch.com today. This is the its worst showing since Feb. 3. It finished the month of July at 1.6% lower and its performance for the entire year of 2014 in the negative, reported Marketwatch.com. The word coming from news outlets on Wall Street that the "correction" was caused by Argentina. But Wall Street is not crying for Argentina, rest assured.
The DJIA also dropped on good news this week which saw second quarter GDP growth at 4 percent, positive news on jobless claims that showed layoffs have stopped and the Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report showed 200,000 plus new jobs for the sixth month in a row. The economy added 209,000 jobs last month outside the farm sector, the Labor Department said Friday. Although hiring tapered off after a 298,000 gain in June.
The question being asked tonight on Wall Street, but not so much on Main Street is whether this a bull market correction or the beginnings of a new bear market.
The DJIA skidded in its biggest one-day drop in six months, as a combination of earnings, economic news and a default by Argentina triggered a broad selloff. There is also market nervousness about tomorrow's Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly jobs report. Damned if it does and damned if it doesn't. Of course investors want a strong jobs report as Fox Business News is projecting a consensus gain of 233,000 jobs and that the headline unemployment rate will hold steady at 6.1 percentage or lower. Should it exceed that expectation and the number is a crushing 300,000 jobs and the unemployment percentage dips below 6 percent, which could be viewed as bad news too.
Her is why in two words: The Fed.
The fear of a strong jobs report could mean that Quantitative Easing (QE) is coming to an abrupt end. What is QE? Why is it now referred to as QE3?
QE, but now QE3, is an unconventional monetary tool used by central banks to stimulate the economy. QE accomplishes two things: Injects more cash into banks, thus allowing them to lend more. And secondly, it lowers interest rates.
Should the fed "ease" the "QE", then that stimulation of the economy will come to an end and the theory goes, cause the stock market to fall quickly. Time will tell.

Babies are awesome. Bouncy, smiley, dimply. We can't get enough of them. After a recent period of fecundity in these offices, we're even trying to organize an Allure Bring Your Baby to Work Day. There's just one problem with babies: their hair. It's terrible. Flat, lifeless, downright patchy. But Toppik, maker of a hair-thickening powder, is here to help:
OK, so Toppik isn't really for baby use. (Seriously, don't use this stuff on your baby.) But the video does its job. After 60 seconds, we started rethinking a product we've known about for years but dismissed as a moderately desperate option for bald men. Adir Abergel, a celebrity hairstylist based in Los Angeles, tells us that he always has a bottle of Toppik in his kit to use on female clients. "A lot of women have wide parts or a little bit of thinning around the hairline," he says. Often, filling in those areas makes the whole style look fuller. Rather than letting the powder rain down from above, just shake a little into your hand and use an eye-shadow brush to tap it along a wide part or patchy areas around the hairline. The keratin protein fibers adhere to your own hair (they're held in place by static electricity), and stylists swear that they withstand brushing—and camera close-ups. Sprinkle-on hair might just be worth a second look. And if you need your baby to have a lusher style? Try Baby Bangs. Actually, don't. Please don't.

On Thursday, July 31, 2014, The Samsung Shape Summer Mix series hosted the band Oh Honey, which consists of Mitchy Collins and Danielle Bouchard. They were interviewed by Billboard's very own, Andrew Hampp. Both Mitchy and Danielle provided guests with interesting encounters on their different tours throughout the United States. Mitchy mentioned the pranks that occurred with a fellow band. "They took my cell phone and told the crowd to text my number in order to win a meet and greet with Oh Honey."
When Hampp asked the band about how they were established, Mitchy said that he met Danielle through mutual friends and began to record music with one another last summer 2013. They just want to make honest and genuine music. Hampp also asked about the traveling conditions on the tour bus and their favorite thing to do on the bus. Mitchy and Danielle stated that like listening to specific kinds of music on the road.
The band also enjoys listening to some classic songs by the R&B king himself, R. Kelly. After the panel, Oh Honey performed some classic 1990's songs, along with their single, "Be Okay". Their single "Be Okay" was released in September of 2013. Mitchy states that this is the song that put them on the map.
On July 31, 2014 AEG announced that Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull will reunite for a 24 city AEG Live tour that kicks off on September 12, 2014 at the Prudential Center in Newark. Latin urban star J Balvin will serve as the support act for the show. On Thursday, Sep 25, 2014 the guys will rock Madison Square Garden.
Yesterday on August 1, 2014, Fashion Rocks unveiled part one in "The Road to Fashion Rocks" series. The series features five videos of previously announced Fashion Rocks performers like Duran Duran, Nico & Vinz and Afrojack. In the videos, Duran Duran shares great stories about how the craze of music videos really took their career to new heights.
Simon Le Bon said that the video for "Hungry Like The Wolf," "did more for us than all the time we spent in the studio because that was able to be all over the world at the same time." Fashion Rocks, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, will air live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday, September 9, 2014 on CBS. Jennifer Lopez, KISS, Miranda Lambert, Pitbull, Rita Ora, The Band Perry and Usher have all been announced as performers.
Rudimental kicked North American tour yesterday on August 1, 2014 with an appearance at Chicago's Lollapalooza and then the band will travel through mid-September with a special headline show in New York Friday, September 5 at Terminal 5. In other UK music news, British electronic breakout group Clean Bandit announced their first-ever North American headline tour last week to support their debut album, "New Eyes" out now on Big Beat/Atlantic Records. The tour kicks off September 15 in Toronto, and continues through the month with a stop in New York Tuesday, September 16, 2014 at Webster Hall. We love the song and video for "Rather Be."
On July 29, 2014 The NorthStar Group on behalf of The Source Magazine announced the first annual Source360 concert on Saturday, September 20, 2014 at the Cushman & Wakefield Theater at Barclays Center. The Wu-Tang Clan are reuniting, The Diplomats will perform together for the first time in three years, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Dom Kennedy, Lil' Kim, Curren$y and more are all set to attend. "The innovation and diversity of hip-hop is well known," said The Source Magazine's owner and publisher, L. Londell McMillan in a statement, "Source360 is proud to present a ground-breaking concert with these iconic acts at Barclays Center in Brooklyn."

Benefit information - New Hires
Welcome to Southern Oregon University! As you meet with the Service Center staff to complete your new hire paperwork, you will be scheduled for a Benefits class.

After initial enrollment, changes may be made only during the annual Open Enrollment period or within 30 days of a qualified family status change (i.e., birth, death, marriage, divorce, employment status change). Open Enrollment occurs in the late fall, and changes made during Open Enrollment are effective January 1 of the following year.
In addition to the 'core' and 'optional' benefits, additional programs are available to SOU employees. These programs include participation in a Tuition Subsidy, a Employee Assistance program, and a variety of wellness activities, some of which have financial incentives.
Retirement plans are offered to all eligible employees. There are 2 plans available, both with different eligibility criteria.
Other Benefits
Voluntary Saving Programs
Two tax-deferred programs are available to employees: the OUS Tax-Deferred Investment 403(b) plan and the Oregon Savings growth 457 Plan. Contributions to these plans are made before federal and state taxes are imposed. Payroll deduction to purchase U.S. Savings Bonds is also available.
You may change your contributions to the TDI plan at any point. Simply complete and return this form to the Benefits Office. Forms received by the 10th of any month will be effective with that month's payroll.

Thanks to digital readouts on today's car radios, the question of "who does that song," when a familiar song comes on the radio, can usually be answered by a quick glance to the radio control panel. Rather than guess at who performed "The Logical Song," or "Take the Long Way Home," one quick look and you now know it was Supertramp. But the question of whose unique voice you heard singing those songs still remained unanswered. A visit to the Wild Horse Pass Casino's Ovations LIVE! Showroom on Friday, April 25, 2014 at 8 p.m., will give you the answer, as legendary singer/ songwriter, Roger Hodgson, formerly of Supertramp, and his band, will perform those songs and more.
If you've listened to classic rock radio at all, or if you listened to any music in 1979, you've heard a song by Supertramp. The band, whose name was derived from an autobiography, "The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp," was formed in 1969 in London, England, when Hodgson, fresh off working with a session keyboard player named Reg Dwight (aka Elton John) was introduced to keyboardist/songwriter, Rick Davies.
Although most Supertramp songs are credited to the songwriting team of Davies and Hodgson, like Lennon and McCartney, each composer wrote separately, despite the joint writer's credit. Lead vocals on Supertramp's songs were given to the individual writer of the song.
Supertramp was hardly an overnight success. It wasn't until 1974, with the release of Hodgson's composition, "Dreamer," from the band's "Crime of the Century:" album, before Supertramp had a top selling single. It took two years later, with the Hodgson penned song, "Give A Little Bit," before the group had a top twenty United States hit.
But with Supertramp's 1979 album, "Breakfast in America," Supertramp became international stars. The album was the fifth best-selling album of 1979 and has sold over 20 million copies. With three top 15 hits including, Hodgson's "The Logical Song," and "Take the Long Way Home," "Breakfast in America" marked the zenith of Supertramp's popularity.
Thirty five years later, Hodgson is ready to embark on his 2014 Breakfast Around the World tour with the Chandler, Arizona stop being the opening show of the tour. With performances currently scheduled for the 2014 Breakfast Around the World tour in only three North American cities, Chandler, four sold out nights in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and at Ribfest in Naperville, Illinois, the Chandler show marks a rare opportunity for audiences to catch this unique talent.
Two years ago at his Chandler, Arizona concert, Hodgson remarked he was a performer who you "know his voice and songs but not his name." Until digital car radio readouts add another line for lead singer, that still may remain a problem. But if you were or are a fan of Supertramp, then Roger Hodgson's show is not to be missed.
Tickets for the April 25 show still remain and are available through the Wild Horse Pass Casino website. Remaining ticket prices range from $35.00 to $55.00 plus any additional taxes or fees. Discounts are available for active Gila River Player's Club Members. All tickets holders under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Darnell Smith, P & S, Economics
Over the past two decades, the percentage of Iowa's agricultural land that is leased on a cash basis has roughly doubled, moving from 21 to 40%. Because of this rapid change in tenure, it is very important for landowners, renters, and lenders to have accurate estimates of current cash rental rates in their local area by land quality.
To obtain accurate estimates of cash rental rates for Iowa's agricultural land by quality and region, calculate summary averages by county and land quality, and disperse that information to stakeholders by publication and through the Extension web site.
A survey form was prepared and mailed out to interested farmers, landowners, agricultural lenders, real estate brokers, and professional farm managers around the state of Iowa. Close to 1,000 responses were obtained and average cash rental rates were calculated for high, medium, and low quality cropland by county, as well as land devoted to hay production, oats, pasture, and cornstalk grazing. A summary publication was prepared and results are posted on the Extension web site.
The overall impact of this activity is that, by providing accurate information on cash rental rates for agricultural land, all stakeholders involved will be able to make more informed decisions leading to increased business efficiency. Even with the results posted on the Extension web site, roughly 700 respondents indicated they would like a hardcopy mailed to them. This is a good indication of the public interest in having accurate information about current cash rental rates for Iowa's agricultural land.

Henry Poole Is Here Movie Reviews
User reviews on Henry Poole Is Here
If you missed Luke Wilson in this film the first time around, I encourage you to check out the recently released family version. I absolutely loved this movie! It was such a great story about a real life guy who was struggling with his faith and accepting it. This is something that I've been struggling with myself for the past couple of years. It was such an encouragement to see this played out. And it's really cool that I've found a site, http://www.henrypoolebelieves.com. Right now it looks like they are giving away 10 copies of the movie for free. If you haven't seen the movie yet, or even if you have, you could always give it to a friend, but it's definitely worth checking out! PERFECT film for a FAMILY movie night!
this is a great movie.the worst word in it was \'holly s***\'. that nothing like the others.it a family movie.it nice to see a movie that dont have f*** in it all the time>
We loved this movie. It\\\'s a simple movie about giving up and about getting hope. And how just by being who we are, we help each other, even without trying. Good for adults and children.

|True Vault Hunter Mode
|Rubi or Sloth
|Wildlife Preservation
|Borderlands 2
|Mission Type
|Optional Mission
Rakkaholics Anonymous is a mission given by Mordecai.
- "Bloodwing's dead, Jack's nearly got the Vault open - I dunno about you, but I need a drink. Or, more like a lot of drinks. The Hodunks run rakk ale out of the Dust - blast the kegs off one of their booze runners and get 'em for me."
- Pick up kegs o' beer 0/10
- Bring beer to Mordecai
- Bring beer to Moxxi
The booze that Mordecai wants is fastened to the roof of a moonshiner van that races around The Dust. The moonshiner is slower than a light runner and travels the Dust in a counter-clockwise circuit that loops around in front of Ellie's Garage at one end and Old Dahlwell Oasis at the other. The barrels must be shot at, which dislodges them so that they can be collected by the runner.
When five barrels have been collected, Moxxi ECHOs her intent to offer Rubi in exchange for the booze. Mordecai then counters this with an offer of a sniper rifle. Subsequently they continue into back and forth ECHOs concerning the breakdown of their brief relationship.
- "You delivered the booze. Huzzah, and stuff!"
Turn In: Mordecai or Moxxi
Moxxi rewards the Rubi, while Mordecai rewards the Sloth
- The first NPC talked to (Mordecai or Moxxi) while the turn in is active (without turning in the mission) becomes the result of the turn in, regardless of who the mission is actually turned in to.
- Where Angels Fear to Tread (Part 2) is turned in Mordecai which will count as the reward of Sloth for this mission unless Moxxi is talked to first

The Bible narrative points to the dangers of being spiritually unequally yoked together, a term that those with agricultural knowledge are quite aware if incorrectly hitching a strong and weak force together as oxen, it is much more difficult to go in a straight line or be in agreement.
It is not an impossibility to reconcile different outlooks, but it sure makes it more difficult when dealing with relationship essentials as entertainment or leisure time, financial decisions, or how to raise children.
The clashing of values will typically take place when compromises are attempted, but unfortunately some adjustments will be less about compromise and more about someone sacrificing their beliefs to keep the peace.
Dating by Biblical requirements direct believers to only consider other believers as partners because it is difficult to reconcile light and darkness principles. Anyone can look wonderful for a short period of time. Getting married is relatively easy, but staying married is the true test of a solid relationship.
In ministry one sees the results of spiritually diverse individuals seeking counseling in the church office in a desperate effort to resolve ongoing issues. Much of the strife is generated when a believer and non-believer's value systems cannot be amicably resolved. The subject base is really irrelevant since it could be a large issue with how to spend Sundays to the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back". As the Bible states, "it is the little foxes that spoil the vine".
It is difficult to have a healthy outcome because it all gets back to submission, respect, spiritual authority, and sacrifice. The ambiguity of compromise and how one feels about it today can take its toll on any relationship, particularly if one perceives themselves as the one giving in more than the other.
Samson and Delilah were unequally yoked together and it came to a head by the revelation of the secret of Samson's strength during a quiet moment and the ongoing pursuit Delilah had to know Samson's secret. You had two different perspectives processing the moment, one acquiescing to persistence to keep the peace, and the other persisting in order to get financial gain.http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/IVP-NT/2Cor/Unequal-Yoking-Unbelievers
This exchange between Samson and Delilah represents why it is so difficult because the ultimate goal could easily be diametrically opposed to what the other is thinking or expecting. Samson's giving in to Delilah could be translated over to a lot more innocent disagreements today, but the consequences could be just as devastating.
Divorce and infidelity is more rampant inside the church than outside, however what is an ongoing theme to much of this turmoil is that many church couples have unequally yoked themselves to somebody with different spiritual authority and values. The common theme is…well, they will change or I can change them. The other changes all right and it is usually for the worse.http://www.ngabo.org/propheticvoice/sexualimmorality.htm
The variables as patience, sacrifice, self-control, and forgiveness play a huge role of whether an unequally yoked relationship can survive or not. The dating period is a time where these limits, boundaries, and middle ground can be set, but every scenario is difficult to predetermine. Things can fall apart over something big or small that is unanticipated.
Opposites can be an attraction, however there will be a point where somebody will be required to compromise should a point be reached in the relationship when one may tire of being sacrificial. There is a defining moment in most relationships where "one cannot serve two masters", and this is particularly true when the parties are unequally yoked together. One spiritual authority will usually acquire dominance.
The problem is…..which one?

Thaddeus O'Sullivan ("Into the Storm"," "The Heart of Me") is set to direct an adaptation of the award-wining Sebastian Barry novel "The Secret Scripture" for Voltage Pictures.
Jessica Chastain and Vanessa Redgrave are attached to star in the Ireland-centric story about a 100-year old Presbyterian woman who has been in a mental hospital since World War Two.
With the facility closing, a psychiatrist tries to piece together why the woman is there, not knowing she has been hiding a diary under the floorboards detailing her harsh treatment both during Ireland's civil war and at the hands of an abusive priest.
Chastain and Redgrave will play older and younger versions of the woman. Noel Pearson will produce.

MoDOT is planning on tearing down this bridge, but local historians are against it.
There is a movement to keep the bridge:
Historic Route 66 bridge could be renewed connection to state park -- http://openspacestl.org/historic-route-66-bridge-could-be-re...
The demolition of this bridge is ridiculous. Glad I visited this bridge during a brief visit to this region this past fall. My site visit indicated that there was absolutely nothing seriously wrong with the superstructure. They could have put a new deck on and celebrated a piece of Route 66 history.
Being dismantled:
The last I heard the deck was removed to reduce the dead load and give the truss a better chance of surviving while money is found repairs. I suppose it's good news that someone cares enough to worry about tge deck - it's bad that this bridge is that close to collapsing.
I drove pasted yesterday. I did not have time to stop and check closely - but the deck has been removed. I also didn't see any stringers, but there might not have been any to begin with. I also could not tell if the work was "repair" or "remove"...
Our stakeholder's effort received another important grant... this time from National Park Service's Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program. It will allow for the preparation of a much-needed Historic Structures Report. Along with the prior planning grant from National Trust for Historic Preservation, its a substantial step forward.

That is awesome news! I know I will be writing a check to help out. I just hope this doesn't drag out for years.
Looks like there is hope for this bridge: http://rwarn17588.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/grant-awarded-to-...
This historic bridge became the westbound lanes of I-44 / U. S. 66, following opening of a new eastbound bridge in 1954. I remember going out to Meramec Caverns and crossing this bridge when the speed limit was 70 MPH on I-44. A new westbound span was added in the 1970's beside the eastbound bridge, making the Meramec River US 66 bridge obsolete. It is now one of only four Warren deck truss spans left in Missouri. Sad to see this go.
Demolition of the bridge is scheduled to begin in Feb 2012 unless a NEW OWNER comes forward.
MoDOT had a public meeting on Sept 13, 2010 supposedly to collect comments from attendees - they seemed to be set on tearing the bridge down with no plans to replace it.
The link below has some addition information MoDOT handed out to those that attended.
This virtual public meeting offers information presented during a public meeting, sponsored by MoDOT, to talk about the future of the Route 66 Meramec River Bridge (also known as the Route 66 State Park Bridge) in Eureka. The bridge was closed in 2009 because of safety, and MoDOT needs to find an organization to accept liability for the bridge or MoDOT will need to remove it in the near future.
The meeting shared MoDOT's decision to close the bridge, information about the historic preservation process and the expected timeline for decisions on the bridge.
This information will remain available until September 30, 2010. People can make comments about the process below.
What does MoDOT think? Click link above. The bridge could collapse under its own weight in two or three years. It's not even safe for pedestrians(?).
This article is dated January 17, 2010 and does include photos of the deterioration of the bridge:
Here is more information about the situation from Joe Sonderman's website about Route 66.
This past December, I went to photograph this bridge when I heard that it had been closed. It's so very sad to see the barricades across the portal to the bridge.
This bridge needs help. What the general public do to help save this bridge from demolition?
It seems association with the "Mother Road" isn't even enough to inspire MoDOT to break out of the box and preserve a historic bridge. I find the 10-20 million dollar estimate to repair the bridge to be suspiciously high, especially if the bridge were restored for pedestrian traffic only. I bet a firm with experience in historic bridge preservation could rehab the bridge for less.
Here's the link to the current article about the bridge:
This is really sad!

It's time to brace yourself for cold and flu season, not because of the colder weather, but because with tomorrow's holiday we'll have officially kicked off the high-sugar season. That's what I've come to call the time between Halloween and Easter, and back in May I shared why. The article, "It's Time for Sugar Mommas (and Daddies) to Rethink Breakfast, Snacks and Dessert" was inspired by reports that revealed the high amount of daily calories consumed by children from added sugar. When you understand the effects of sugar on the immune system, it's clear to see why our kids suffer from colds, coughs, flus and other infections more during this time of year than any other.
It's also motivation to take a look at your own child's diet to find ways to creatively cut the added sugar and simple carbs. Before you call me a no-sugar-witch, I'm here to tell you that your kids don't have to be limited to a bland diet to enjoy sweet treats! It does take some creativity and planning, however, to do it right!
Let's take tomorrow's holiday for example. Kid's roaming the neighborhood collecting candy in mass quantities; it's not uncommon for one child to bring home more candy than a whole family should eat in a year! In a sea of candy bars and suckers, I'm often surprised to see kids opt for the unconventional items they find in their bag of goodies. That's where I take my cue! Here are a few examples:
Raisins: Yes, I know raisins are concentrated fruit, and as such are high in sugar, but it's the natural kind. Plus, they have way more vitamins and minerals than your average piece of sugary candy so they get a pass from me on Halloween. Plus, those individual serving size boxes are pretty convenient!
Juice Boxes: Again, juice is high in sugar; however, if you're diligent to purchase the 100% juice varieties, you've got a Tootsie Roll beat in terms of nutritional value. If you're feeling creative, you can decorate your boxes to fit with the Halloween theme! Check out these cute juice box mummies made from crepe paper!
Boo-nanas: This is an easy and fun project (even the kids can help with this one). Purchase your bananas and add a scary face with a marker or stickers. We know fresh fruit in the trick-or-treat bag is sometimes looked upon with suspicion; however, if you're like us your kids only visit the neighbors they know. As an extra measure, include a note in the bag with your name and phone number should any parent wish to call and confirm the origins of the treat.
Jack-o'-lanterns: These aren't your typical carved pumpkins but are actually oranges (or you can use tangerines or clementines for something new). As with the Boo-nanas, just add a jack-o'-lantern face with a marker or stickers. Another fun and easy project for the kids!
Novelties: Don't underestimate the appeal of toys (even small ones). The rubber spiders, skeleton rings, eyeball erasers and monster pencils are always fun and are enjoyed much longer than a miniature candy bar. This year we're handing out glow sticks at our house…I'm pretty confident we've got a winner with that one!
What ideas do you have for healthy Halloween treats? I would love to know! Please post in the comments area below and let's create a fun reference that parents can use for years to come.
Dr. Tiffany
P.S. We also invite you to make Healing Touch Chiropractic a stop on your trick-or-treat route this year! We've got some fun tricks and treats planned for the kids, plus a Halloween Costume Contest (grand prize is a $50 savings bond!). We're located at 45 21st Avenue East, Unit D, in West Fargo. Hope to see you!

I'm having a problem with my desktop whereby it sometimes resets itself semi-randomly. For example, I'll switch it on, it'll boot an OS and shortly after getting to the desktop it will immediately reset with no warning. The time isn't consistent - sometimes it does it before reaching login.
I'm pretty sure it's not an OS thing; have tried Ubuntu and a Windows install and both exhibit it. It also doesn't appear to be heat-related because sometimes it appears to be able to "get past" it and will then run stably even under load; if anything it seems to be worse from a cold start.
My gut feeling is some kind of power issue but I'm clutching at straws a little. Any suggestions on how I could go about testing it or trying to narrow the problem down would be appreciated.
The machine is four years old now so while I can replace components if needed, it's not worth enough that I'm comfortable buying new parts without being pretty confident that they'll fix the problem.
Thanks in advance for any help :)
Edit: Okay, the motherboard is a MSI K8N SLI; CPU is an Athlon64 X2 4200+. Has one video card, a GeForce 7800GT. 1GB RAM, not sure of brand; 3 hard drives, two SATA and one PATA. Flashed motherboard to latest BIOS some time ago.
Edit the Second: I thought I'd narrowed it down to the PSU for a while, but then it recurred again. I ended up pulling everything out but CPU, RAM and motherboard and it still seems to be stuffed (if anything, it's gotten worse in the last couple of days). I assume it's one of those three components, but the machine is old enough that I don't really want to spend money replacing any of them. So thanks for everyone's suggestions; much appreciated!

After holding out for salary negotiations, CBS happily announced, yesterday March 12, that once again they are renewing "The Big Bang Theory" for another three years. This will keep them safe through the 2016-2017 season. The last time CBS renewed "The Big Bang Theory", it too was for three seasons that put it safe until this season.
Fans were holding their breath for this news since the stars were holding out for larger salaries. At this time, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch, who play Amy and Bernadette, have signed their new deals $60,000 per-episode with increases each year.
The three leads, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, and Johnny Galecki are currently getting paid $300,000 per episode while holding out for a $200,000 raise to $500,000 while Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar get $125,000 and $75,000 and are looking for more as well. We are assuming that the salary negotiations were met successfully with these five.
Nina Tassler, chairman of CBS Entertainment, said, "Comedy is a big part of our schedule, and "The Big Bang Theory" is the biggest comedy force on television. This multi-year deal further strengthens our network's position for future seasons and marks another chapter in the great partnership CBS enjoys with Warner Bros. Television for delivering audiences the best in comedy. We're proud to work with and showcase the incredible talents of Chuck Lorre, Steve Molaro and this amazing cast every week."
At this time "the Big Bang Theory" is still number one in its category and is still bringing in 19.79 million viewers per week.

Dvd Release Date: 2006-08-29
Genre: Documentary,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 15min
A thrilling, comprehensive guide to New York's buzzing downtown underground post-punk scene. Director Scott Crary kicks things off with the birth of No Wave in the late 1970's, providing an angular rush with a priceless collection of live performances from Suicide, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, the Theoretical Girls and DNA. From this initial explosion of artistic energy, the film moves through the 1980's, passing the torch to Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo of Sonic Youth and Michael Gira of Swans, before crashlanding in the noisy Now! of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Black Dice, Liars, A.R.E. Weapons and the Gypsy stylings of Gogol Bordello. Interviews connect the threads between the past and the present, an ever-fertile scene is defined, celebrated and trashed with equal amounts of enthusiasm, and the creators of some of the most challenging rock music of all-time get to explain what they do, why they do it and where it's all heading.

As the Khartoum regime continues its assault against the civilians of South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, more and more refugees are attempting the arduous trek into refugee camps in South Sudan and Ethiopia. The influx of refugees has escalated just as the rainy season has begun, making the delivery of additional supplies extremely difficult and expensive. Antonio Guterres, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, has urged donor nations to ease "the enormous humanitarian tragedy." Meanwhile, Sudan President Omar al Bashir and South Sudan President Salva Kiir met in Addis Ababa, on the sidelines of the African Union summit, for a continuation of negotiations – no agreement has yet been reached on oil wealth sharing, final borders or other security concerns, and many believe the two countries will miss an August 2 deadline imposed by both the AU and UN for final status agreements. Outrageously, as Bashir continues his genocidal campaigns in Darfur and South Kordofan/Blue Nile and a violent crackdown against protestors in the capital, he has been nominated for a seat on the UN's Human Rights Council. Take action with JWW here.
Additional Resources:
Congolese President Joseph Kabila and Rwandan President Paul Kagame met this Sunday on the sidelines of the African Union summit and agreed to the implementation and deployment of a neutral international force to combat the M23 rebellion, as well as other armed groups in eastern Congo. The proposal comes in the wake of mounting accusations against Rwanda – including in a UN Group of Experts report – charging that elements within its government and military are supporting and arming the M23 rebels. It's unclear what the development of a new international force would accomplish – the largest international peacekeeping force in the world, known by its French acronym MONUSCO, is already deployed in Congo. The Congolese by and large consider it a partisan force that has failed in its primary mandate – to protect civilians. In addition, the negotiation of such a new force – to be established by the AU, UN and the regional body the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) – will likely take a significant amount of time to organize, fund and deploy. Meanwhile, the M23 rebels continue to hold their positions less than 30 miles from North Kivu's capital, Goma, leaving more than 220,000 civilians displaced. The UN Security Council yesterday issued a condemnation of continued attacks by M23, which have also killed at least one UN peacekeeper.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
It's not the least expensive portable table saw you can buy, but reviews point to the DeWalt DW745 portable table saw as a better choice than the cheapest entry-level saws. It cuts smoothly, and thanks to its 45--pound weight, travels lightly. This is a bench-top saw, but an optional stand (Est. $65) is available.
Excellent cutting performance for the price. Reviews praise the saw's light 45-pound weight, excellent rack-and-pinion fence and easy adjustments. The telescoping rails extend to provide a maximum rip capacity of 16 inches; other support is needed if cutting large panels. The motor isn't soft start, but most reviewers say this saw cuts fairly smoothly, with plenty of power. Popular Mechanics notes that's because despite its relatively low speed, the 3,850 rpm motor produces plenty of torque. The plastic miter gauge is the main weak point. It's also not designed to be used with a dado blade set. If you need dado capacity or to cut miters to fit out-of-square corners, consider the well-reviewed Bosch GTS1310 (Est. $370), which also has better onboard storage.
Portability personified. The DeWalt DW745 is a benchtop table saw with a small footprint and roll cage, designed to be carried around as needed. The saw can also be bolted to an optional folding stand, the DW7450 (Est. $65). Reviewers say that it is worth the price for those who need a stand. "Sturdy when open and compact when folded, the stand is well worth buying if you have this saw," says Jesse Wright at Tools of the Trade. Wright also notes that the dust collection system is "reasonably good," but that you'll want to attach a vacuum for best results. Fine Homebuilding says that the rest of the feature line up is in line with what you will find on other "high-quality" table saws: "easy depth and bevel adjustments, simple two-wrench blade changes, standard-size miter slots that work with aftermarket accessories, and a large power switch on the lower left front of the saw body, where it is visible and easy to reach."
Safety features that are easy to use. Thanks to voluntary UL standards, most table saws come with effective safety features including riving knives and blade guards. What some table saws don't come with are safety features that are easy and convenient to use. With the DeWalt DW745, that's not an issue. Gary Katz at ThisIsCarpentry.com says that installing and removing the blade guard has been made simple and easy. "Trust me, this is one table-saw guard you won't throw away in frustration," he adds.

1. Popular Mechanics
The DeWalt DW745 gets a respectable 4-star rating in this roundup review comparing it with 10 other portable table saws, earning kudos for its accurate fence and "enviable power." However, it doesn't rank at the top -- it loses points for its limited ripping width and lack of dado capacity.
Review: Portable Table Saws: We Test 11 to Find the Best, Roy Berendsohn, Not Dated
2. Popular Mechanics
This thorough, objective review compares the DeWalt DW745 with the Bosch GTS1031. Performance is judged equal, based on tests cutting plywood, shelving, 2-by-4 lumber and red oak -- including some beveled cross-cuts -- but the DeWalt blade leaves a smoother edge. Although the Bosch can be stored on edge and can accommodate a stacked dado, editors give DeWalt the lead overall: it's lighter, and adjustments are easier than on the Bosch.

3. Tools of the Trade
A finish carpenter provides a detailed, well-illustrated review comparing the DeWalt DW745 with its main competitor, the Bosch GTS1031. Both saws have blade guards that are judged excellent and easy to use. Jesse Wright finds the rack-and-pinion fence on the DeWalt its best feature; it's very easy to adjust. Overall, though, he prefers the Bosch because of its onboard storage and easy transport.
Review: Ultra-Portable Table Saws, Jesse Wright, Oct. 13, 2011
4. ThisIsCarpentry.com
This review examines the DeWalt DW745, with specific focus on its blade guard and riving knife. Gary Katz compares it to the one found on Bosch portable table saws and awards the lion's share of kudos to DeWalt's implementation. He does grouse a little that it takes a lot of cranking to raise the blade fully, and that the noise level of this saw is high.
Review: DeWalt DW 745 10-in. Portable Table Saw, Gary Katz, Nov. 18, 2011
5. ThisIsCarpentry.com
Carpenter Michael Inskeep compares the DeWalt DW745 with the Bosch GTS1031, using both with a Rousseau table that comes with its own fence. Both saws have fine blade guard systems. Despite the nice roll-cage design of the Bosch, the DeWalt is the favorite of both the author and his whole crew. Inskeep finds that the DeWalt cuts smoothly with all three blades he tried, while the Bosch wobbles too much even with its own blade. Not all of the nearly 50 readers commenting here agree; many defend the Bosch, especially since it can accommodate a dado.

6. Fine Homebuilding
This single-product review of the DeWalt DW745 praises the rack-and-pinion fence "which is easy to adjust, and has an excellent hairline indicator to make zeroing in on precise measurements a cinch." Other adjustments are also deemed easy to use, and the miter slot takes aftermarket accessories. Camp says the DeWalt has "plenty of power for any task I threw at it," and notes only two drawbacks: the lack of dado capacity and a supplied blade of poor quality.
