When people choose to start an organic vegetable garden they may not initially think how their little palatable oasis can actually help to reduce soil erosion, reverse carbon emissions and help save planet Earth.
The Rodale Institute, a non-profit organization who is a leader among the organic farming community for more than sixty years, recently published a white paper in April 2014 urging widespread awareness of the critical need for regenerative organic farming. If given a little thought and pre-planning, even the most novice gardener with the smallest of spaces can do his or her part to help reverse climate change and move towards a sustainable future.
These proven organic methods, if implemented by enough people, could be the solution.
Cover crops. Plan for them and plant them. Check out this scary yet compelling statistic about the world's soil depletion each and every year, found at Worldometers, a real-time, world statistics counter.
"It is estimated that, worldwide, 5-7 million hectares of land valuable to agriculture are lost every year through erosion and degradation", per the Dimensions of need: Restoring the land – FAO document.
Planting cover crops will ensure the soil is enriched by adding nutrients, not letting them dissipate. The benefits will pay off immensely and keep crops growing bigger and tastier every harvest. Without cover crops the soil becomes barren and depleted and gardening and farming might as well start from scratch, each planting season.
Create your own compost. Be the environmentally conscious individual by keeping a compost bin. It is simple and it reduces the amount of waste we send to landfills each year. Surprisingly, the average person produces 4.5 pounds of trash a day, says ecolife, a guide to green living website. Composting your kitchen scraps the smart way, will ensure you are doing your part to cut down on greenhouse gases and emissions.
This gooey goodness will not only nurture your soil, it will contribute to sustainable practices for future generations. Teach your friends and family what to compost and what to toss. Find a great guide here, published by eartheasy.com.
Natural pesticides and organic fertilizers only. Obviously, you would not go grab your bottle of Roundup or Bug-Be-Gone and spray it in your mouth so, why would you want to eat food laced with virtually the same toxic ingredients?
It's proven that synthetic pesticides and fertilizers are not only bad for your health but, they are extremely bad for the environment and the soil, of which we are so dependant. Although it was once considered a life saver, the industrialization of our food system has essentially put our entire conventional food supply in jeopardy by using synthetics, over the past seventy plus years. Do your part to reverse the destruction.
Take time to look at the labels before applying anything to your plants or soil. Natural fertilizers and organic pesticides help to create a sound ecosystem, which nourishes and replenishes the nutrients in the soil.
One way to be sure you are using certified organic products on your delectable delights is to look for the OMRI symbol. OMRI, which stands for Organic Materials Review Institute, is a nonprofit organization and the gatekeeper for the certified organics product lists; a list of products used for the purposes of production and processing organic food and which also fall within the USDA and Canadian Organic Standard guidelines.
Crop Rotation. Ok, so maybe you are a small time gardener with only a few containers of peppers and tomatoes and you're wondering, "Will rotating what I plant in my containers really matter?"
Even on the smallest scale mindful, organic gardening practices can make a difference. When using containers you can utilize the soil time and time again and stave off bugs, if you simply follow a crop rotation guide.
In a small backyard garden or even on a large family farm, crop rotation is critical to building nutrients, fighting bugs and creating organic matter and microorganisms. Crop rotation and cover crops combined will result in wonderfully rich, nutrient-based soil.
There are detailed and thorough planting guides available online and in your local garden store to help you plan your crop rotation. Details such as getting to know your plant families and determining which crops are considered heavy feeders versus those that are light feeders, and what you actually like to eat,will all determine your particular strategy.
So there you have it. Easy ways you can help save Earth. If you are a gardener and aren't following these practices, then consider being more mindful about the current soil depletion and implement at least one of these elements immediately. If you are using these practices today, then kudos to you for being conscious about the environment; now become an advocate.
Being aware of the small things, even one person can do to make a difference, brings hope in reversing the damage done.

On a recent jaunt to Seattle, I was in desperate need of coffee and wifi, so you do the math. But a BrixChick never likes to do the expected, so I thought I would try the latest "Inspired by Starbucks" location, 15th Ave Coffee and Tea Initially they had me at "artisan pastries". To my delight, free wifi is just part of the service! So nice, too. They individually grind and prepare using several methods. My server recommended a Clover drip method which made the aromatics leap out of the cup. They discuss several other brewing methods on their website . The location is stunning! Decorated with repurposed items and materials, the feel is like Anthropologie for coffee. Everything was gorgeous and comfortable. The pastry did not disappoint--as tender and buttery as the best NorCal has to offer with a hint of lush pastry cream and perfect Washington apples. The Puerto Rico coffee I was helped to select was perfect as well. Inky and rich without being bitter. Yum! My only regret was that I did not get to sample the wine! Ha! Well a handy scheduling error on my part put me on a flight that DEPARTED at 8:40 pm ( I really thought it said ARRIVED), with the afternoon free and no shortage of my need for free wifi, I jaunted back to 15th Ave for wine and a cheese plate. Beecham's Cheese very nice and local no less. As well as a lovely Goose Ridge G3 Red Table wine. Great together! I spoke to someone who said that this is a pilot venture. Starbucks places a lot of emphasis on making the location blend into the local neighborhood like 2% of cofermented Viognier can soak into Syrah! So this location is also an

Something Wicked this way comes - Review of new Inspired by Starbucks locale
Wicked good! So, sometimes people do not so much love the Starbucks. For blogger ethical disclosure I have to admit that I am currently in a serious relationship with Starbucks; I would marry them if I could. Their consistency is as reliable as death and taxes and if you roam at all, you will find that someone's beloved local coffee hangout is some one else's bitter, reach for the prilosec moment or someone else's vibrant arts cafe is someone else's scary urban experience. Not Starbucks! On Hampstead Heath, Nolita, or lovely Modesto, I know what I am getting with my double tall nonfat no whip mocha. And I love that!

YOUNGSTOWN — Ex-con and former congressman James A. Traficant Jr. will have a special guest Thursday when he guest hosts Dan River's show on WKBN 570-AM from 10 a.m. until noon.
Rock guitarist Ted Nugent will join the show via phone from his Texas home. Nugent is an outspoken conservative known for his pro-National Rifle Association, pro-hunting views.
He's "very outspoken when it come to other issues that hit close to home; including politics, the Second Amendment and crime," according to Nugent's own Web site, www.tednugent.com.
The number to call in the show is (330) 729-9977.
Excellent choice for a guest !
Ladies and Gentlemen , we have our presidential ticket for 2012.
By the way, is it really necessary to throw in the ex-con thing? I mean , when I'm in public talking about Bertram De Souza I dont start my sentence with , Local hack writer and all around whiny broad Bertram De Souza Wrote an article today........
Excellent comment. That is exactly what I think every time I read something by DeSouza!
And by the way, after listening to the entire radio program featuring Traficant and Nugent, I can honestly saw that was one of the best 2 hours I have ever heard on the airwaves!
Those two are excellent together!
Ted Nugent and his wife are two of the most admired "American Activists" I know. They truely represent what every American feels (and wishes) America should be like.
Jimbo & Sarah Palin are Ted's 'blood siblings from the North.' Did any of them put on a uniform and ever have to face real danger???
Before I reply, I'd like to say that those who serve in our armed forces are all heroes, and should be commended as such.
However, I didn't know that in order to be taken seriously about issues in this country you had to at one time be in the armed forces. The fact is that our government has become so entagled in trying not to offend the voters that place them into office, that no real issues are to ever be addressed. I have never served in the armed forces, but respect those who have, and have close relatives who have served in the past and currently serve. Their stance on political issues are the same as mine in some respects, and we differ on others. Your argument about why two people are wrong in their political stance because they have never worn a uniform is absurd. Perhaps if you made a valid point you would be worth listening to, but until then please try to keep your idiotic thoughts to yourself, as you bring those who wear our country's uniform to a lower level by grouping yourself in with them.
I actually did read your post. I was replying to Tugboats comment, THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY POSED THE QUESTION. I'll try to be more precise next time. Not sure I understood the second half of your post though. Were you calling me a wannabe or Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin wannabes? Either way, Please don't take offense to the fact that I am pointing out a faulty argument. You are right, the "career politicians" are whats wrong with this country. We can agree on that. And though I'm not a democrat or a republican either, I don't classify myself as anything, I simply like the title of AMERICAN.
Boardman wrote: "Your argument about why two people are wrong in their political stance because they have never worn a uniform is absurd."
I was including Ted in the mix. I'll try to be more precise next time also.
Obama doesn't go on-stage and rant about firearms and killing.
I think Jimbo is leading you far right conservatives down a dark alley.
I'll bet the ranch Jimbo doesn't run for Congress or anything else.
Do you really think most of the people around here is really going to vote for an ex con? Maybe the same one's who still think the steel mills are coming back.
Wake up people---we're way past Jimbo.May he rest in peace.
By the way--Jinbo had a 100 people come see him speak in Warren yesterday.
That will get you elected to Congress or the Senate.
How about Dog Catcher?

Hey TugBoat , tug on this.... As a matter of fact Jimbo did wear a uniform as Mahoning County Sheriff, serving warrants on a bikers gang hangout that was armed with a machine gun in the front window. I'd say yes he did face real danger. Know what your talking about moron.

Obesity is big news in the media today. Everyone wants to get involved (including the government - check out yesterday's big news regarding a sugary drinks ban here), they want to fix it, to discover what is causing it, and to do this without putting in the actual work required to make the necessary changes in ones life to better manage their weight. In a recently published study, it has been found that technology may also be a culprit to the growing obesity epidemic. "Social Jetlag" is a term used in psychological circles for a mix up between our body's internal clock and our daily schedules. In easier terms it is simply our growing refusal to listen to our internal biological clock. Think of the body like a machine; it works at optimum when you give it the best fuel, run it every once and a while, and allow it to sleep when not in use. Setting a schedule is key and not overworking a machine keeps it from breaking down. The same applies to the human body; albeit this is a more complicated machine.
This machine (the human body) has a consciousness and can make decisions that impact its health. Its subconscious creates the optimal and appropriate time for rest (to keep it healthy) which is often referred to as the internal clock. When we stop listening to this internal clock we create more problems than just insomnia or lack of sleep. Some of the links have been made to increased smoking, contributing to obesity, increased consumption for both alcohol (depressant) and caffeine. In other words, ignoring our internal clock can be very bad for our health and way of living.
In response to this recent new evidence; Till Roenneberg at the University of Munich has recently started compiling a database on human sleep and awake patterns and behaviors which will be used to produce a world sleep map.
It stands to reason that lack of sleep is becoming a factor of obesity; on average a person burns about 45 calories during one hour of sleep. On an eight hour schedule that equates to 360 calories, if you cut that down to six which is the recommended minimum time for rest it equates to 270 calories. Four hours equals 180 and… well you see the connection.
The problem is, in the case of social jetlag, the person is sacrificing sleep to be online in most cases, this burns very few calories and keeps the brain from shutting down for the much needed rest it requires.
Obesity is on the rise that the government, in their own misguided way, is getting involved in the fight. Thursday the news was on fire discussing the ban proposal New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg regarding 'supersized' sodas and sugary drinks (click here for more details), which has caused quite the controversy. With government attention, comes government funding. There are sure to be more studies created in the near future looking for the correlation of obesity to technological advancements.
What are your thoughts on this matter? Do you get enough sleep every night? Do you think lack of sleep has an impact on the rising obesity in the United States? You opinion matters, feel free to leave a comment below with your thoughts.
As always, thank you for reading, and have a great day~

100 days until frogs (photo by Daniel Tako)
In Minnesota, it is only 100 days until frogs! When it is put that way, spring seems like it is almost here, and any New Year's resolution seems more manageable when put in this perspective. In 100 days, the bedroom windows can be opened which will make the frogs in stereo upstairs. If you are feeling worn down after the holidays and cold and beaten down by winter, there it is. Have hope and time and perspective to accomplish your organizing goals or any other goal.
Be kind to yourself. Don't try to accomplish all your New Year's resolutions at once. If you want to "get organized," tackle a small area each day. Don't get burnt out. Set the timer for ten or fifteen minutes a few evenings per week and tackle a spot that bugs you. You will be pleased by your progress!
Goal setting or New Year's resolutions boil down to time management which, if we are honest, is life management. Try How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life by Alan Lakein. It is the "original" time management book, cited by 100 other books on this topic.
Now for a little perspective: 100 days until frogs. Time passes regardless of what you do or don't do in work, in relationships, in life. You get to decide what you do with it. If you "fall off the wagon," don't beat yourself up. Try again tomorrow. It doesn't matter how many times you fall. What matters is that you pick yourself up each time and begin again.

Really Funny Episode
There's so much hilarious stuff in this episode this is propaply the funniest one of them all. It's especially funny when she says Snowy, your all wet and they laugh alot then she says it wasn't that funny. The character designs are way more improved as I can tell especially Snowy you can really tell the movement this time. The plot really twists in this although I wish it was a bit clearer, anyways, great timing.
The storyline twists around alot which is great but the problem with the storyline is it's to confusing. Like half of Episode III apparently didn't actually take place and most of it was just nightmares which really confused me. You should have summed up Episode III in a nutshell for us so we understand exactly what happened, such as if her friend she beat with a shovel actually died.
This is definetly one of the funniest episodes I'd watch this episode a few times although it's predecessor The Nightmare, was really confusing.
-TY Reviews
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Once again, I like how you make indirect references to the environment: Snowy's got killed by the greenhouse effect, ha! Just like in the first episode (Climate change! No, just an overheating lamp...Using an incandescent light bulb whose 80% of the energy output is heat instead of light.)
Other than that, great animation, love the cinematic references and plot holes as usual.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
wtf again with the plot holes
this is one crazy seris

The ones with the trigger guard seem to function ok. A little scary for most, too much trigger exposure.
anyone used them? seen them? any experience or info for me?
The ones with the trigger guard seem to function ok. A little scary for most, too much trigger exposure.
Take a look at www.pantherconcealment.com or www.ridgidholsters.com
I have a belt from ridgid and an owb from panther. Both family owned and very personal with the highest quality equipment and great prices.
You don't have to remove anything to re holster.

Criminals don't register guns...
seen them both, not asking for holster opinions right now, just asking for opinions on this one but thank you
Mine is in the drawer with my other rejected ones, FWIW.
thank you, i have not seen one in person or tried it yet but i was intrigued by it, not much difference in the way I carried my Kel Tec P32 with the belt clip on it
I'd say it's much better than a belt clip, at least one side of the trigger would be covered when you reach down to draw it. One downside of the Versacarry is if your pistol has prickly levers and sharp edges, you will feel all of them against your skin, even if you wear a shirt. Holsters do more than protect the trigger and keep the gun from falling down your pant leg!
Had a VersaCarry for my Bersa Thunder .380 it worked okay but after wearing it a couple weeks I got rid of it and bought a Remora Tuckable holster with no reinforcement. MUCH better!

SANTA BARBRA, Calif. - The final day of play was a learning experience for the Wildcats.
Susan Mc Rann and Kim Stubbe played Denver's Berger and Najera-Salas for an 8-6 loss in doubles consolation finals.
Stubbe and McRann were set to play each other in the singles finals but opted not to play due to the long weekend.
"The girls did everything right in the doubles, except finish points" head coach Vicky Maes said. "They are clearly starting to understand what they need to do, but had a difficult time with execution. I know they are disappointed with today's performance, but we are learning and that's what matters in these tournaments. Also, due to a long few days and lots of tennis, we decided to forego playing the singles finals."

MicroRNA-33 and the SREBP host genes cooperate to control cholesterol homeostasis.
Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA.
Proper coordination of cholesterol biosynthesis and trafficking is essential to human health. The sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are key transcription regulators of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis and uptake. We show here that microRNAs (miR-33a/b) embedded within introns of the SREBP genes target the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), an important regulator of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) synthesis and reverse cholesterol transport, for posttranscriptional repression. Antisense inhibition of miR-33 in mouse and human cell lines causes up-regulation of ABCA1 expression and increased cholesterol efflux, and injection of mice on a western-type diet with locked nucleic acid-antisense oligonucleotides results in elevated plasma HDL. Our findings indicate that miR-33 acts in concert with the SREBP host genes to control cholesterol homeostasis and suggest that miR-33 may represent a therapeutic target for ameliorating cardiometabolic diseases.

The nation's governors are holding a conference in Washington over the next few days. Many of them are upset with one of their alums. A Former Texas Governor wants to cut federal funds for a program that's already a budget buster for the states. And now that he's president, he just might have the power to do it. Marketplace's Scott Tong reports on concerns about Medicaid.
It's Friday. And you know what that means. The time to check the week on Wall Street, with stockbroker and business analyst David Johnson in Dallas.
Gambling on the outcome of Sunday's Academy Awards is illegal here in the U.S. And that includes Nevada. If you could, though... The oddsmakers seem to think it's the Aviator that'll take best picture. Here's something you can bet on: A seriously lavish fashion show. Commentator and attorney Conrad Teitell wonders who'll be paying for it.
There's a credit card company that asks "what's in your wallet?" If you say "my wallet's empty", creditors start to panic. Last year, more than a million and a half Americans said bye-bye to their debts by filing for bankruptcy. For many years now, creditors have been begging Congress to make it harder for consumers to walk away. This may be the year they get what they've been asking for. Marketplace's Amy Scott reports that on Monday, the Senate takes up bankruptcy reform.
This week, French President Chirac seemed to be serious about mending fences with President Bush. What's next: an American-style workweek? Maybe... Next week, the French Senate is expected to confirm a measure that could doom the 35 hour workweek. The Government in Paris says 'in a global economy, France must get more competitive'. From our European Desk, Steven Beard reports.
Sales of existing homes ticked down a tenth of a percent in January. It's still the seventh highest pace on record. That from the National Association of Realtors. Plenty of factors go into picking a new place to live. And its obviously not just the price. Take Santa Clara County in Northern California. The median home price there is now $615,000. They're willing to pay that kind of money, in part, because of the schools. But shopping around for the right school has become more of a numbers game than you might imagine. Marketplace Work and Family correspondent Sarah Gardner reports.

There are many sites across the country that are home to some of the world's most haunted locations. However, there is nothing like visiting a haunted lighthouse. Many of the lighthouses, especially those that are haunted, have some of the most interesting history and are absolutely breathtaking to see up close. Not to mention the view from the top of the lighthouse is just as amazing.
Here are the top five haunted lighthouses in America:
- Heceta Head Lighthouse in Yachats, Oregon - Several entities have been sighted here, including one small girl who s responsible for setting off the fire alarm and moving objects around the keeper's house. A second entity here is believed to clean up after workers and is known as the "Gray Lady."
- Owls Head Light in Owls Head, Maine - Mysterious footprints are found in the snow are believed to belong to a former keeper.
- Point Sur Lightstation in Big Sur, California - Sightings near the visitors center have been reported of a man wearing a 19th-century keeper's uniform.
- Port Boca Grande Lighthouse in Gasparilla Island, Florida - Sounds of a young girl giggling and playing upstairs in the keeper's house.
- St. Augustine Lighthouse in St. Augustine, Florida - Many strange occurrences have been reported here, including the scent of cigar smoke, footsteps in the tower, a prankish girl having fun in the keeper's dwelling, a tall man roaming the basement and a poltergeist in the gift shop.
Though this is not a complete list of haunted lighthouses in America, it contains those highly recommended by the Treasure Coast Paranormal Travel Examiner. Keep checking back for more haunted lighthouses and other haunted travel destinations across the country.

An increasing number of children in America are considered at risk because of poverty, homelessness, hunger, family violence or other social ills. As part of its "Youth at Risk" initiative, the national Cooperative Extension System started school-age child care (SACC) programs to promote positive youth development by providing high quality, after-school care. UC Cooperative Extension and 4-H participated in this effort, supporting SACC sites in targeted communities throughout California. This report summarizes the California portion of a national evaluation to determine if the SACC programs are having their desired effects.

JWC TO THOMAS CARLYLE ; 16 April 1841; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18410416-JWC-TC-01; CL 13: 102-103
Friday [16 April 1841]
How very sorry I am to have occasioned you this anxiety— Have you swallowed another pill? Or did it never occur to you that your last letter but one would leave me uncertain of your whereabout? Anyhow it was very criminal in me not to write, in case of your staying on, and feeling uneasy—
I am afraid the letter I sent off yesterday will not reach you till tomorrow— Railroads with all their wonderful speed are still too dilatory—
Be at ease about my health— I am getting better—surely, which is better than rapidly— I feel a little bit stronger every day—sleep about a quarter of an hour longer every night—eat about a quarter of an ounce more at every meal— I spend my time very much to my mind—because my mind is alone consulted in the spending of it— I do nothing as virtue—simply consult my sensations, tho Darwin said when he found me sewing a table cover the other day that I "looked decidedly virtuous"— One gets horribly meager and moony on "virtue's own reward"—as I have found—and so I go now upon the prescription of Mrs Booth's Dr1— "Keep yourself always comfortable" only leaving out the "with cordials"—for Porter does not exactly mount into the sphere of cordials.
I am glad you are going to the Marshalls—and I would have you go into Nottinghamshire2 as well—it will all work together for your good—after if not at the present—and you will have so many biographical notices to bring back to me—!
Mr Ogilvy3 has got a house at Bayswater for a month commencing from the 23d— Today they are actually off to Windsor— I do not think I have another item in shape of news to tell unless that Ruffini dined with a Greek the other day and eat three dozen and a half of snails! I shall never be able to endure him any more— O dear me I wish I could make this pass to you like a flash of lightening to relieve your uneasiness and you will not get it till Monday God keep you your affectionate

Simon Cowell is now a proud father. He and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman introduced baby Eric on Valentine's Day, according to a Feb. 16 New York Daily News report.
Cowell and Silverman brought their new bundle of joy home from Lenox Hill Hospital on Sunday. It didn't take paparazzi long to catch up the happy couple.
The stern and sharp-tongued "X Factor" gushed about his son on Twitter. He's already been busy tweeting pictures of his two-day old son, Eric Cowell.
Cowell shared black and white photos of him holding his son. In one of the photos, the former "American Idol" judge is seen caressing his baby's head.
Eric Cowell was born at 5:45 p.m. on Feb. 14. He is reportedly weighed in at 6 pounds.
The baby was reportedly carried out by his proud father and a hospital staffer in scrubs. The two were followed by Lauren, her dad, Steven and stepmother, Rosy Davis.
A friend close to Simon Cowell told The News that he plans to spend the next few weeks with his son at his Upper East Side apartment.

02:38, UK, Tuesday 02 March 2010
Top city financiers have held a secret meeting over a possible bid for Manchester United, according to Sky News sources.
Representatives from law firm Freshfields and investment bank Goldman Sachs, among others, are involved.
Sky sources said the group, informally known as the Red Knights, met to discuss the possibility of taking control of the football club from the Glazer family.
Sky's city editor Mark Kleinman, who broke the story, told Sky's Jeff Randall: "I should caveat all this by saying that the Red Knights campaign is at a very early stage, and while it has the support of influential fan bodies such as the Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST), it's possible that those involved may conclude it's not ultimately viable."
He added: "Having said that, the summit - the first formal gathering under the Red Knights banner - is the most significant evidence so far of the seriousness of the campaign to win back control of United."
Any serious offer would need to raise around £1bn, Kleinman said.
A statement from the Glazer family said the Old Trafford club was not for sale.
Many Utd fans are bitterly opposed to the Glazer family, staging weekly protests at home games while dressed in green and gold shirts and scarves.
They are angry that the club has been allowed to accrue debts of around £700m.
The Glazers' recent £500m bond issue has crystallised opposition among fans to their continued ownership of the club, Kleinman said.
They claim the the debts have prevented manager Sir Alex Ferguson dipping into the transfer market.
Cristiano Ronaldo was sold last season for £80m but United fans have seen little in the way of big name purchases to replace a man considered the best footballer in the world.
The Manchester United Supporters' Trust distributed thousands of anti-Glazer attire at Sunday's Carling Cup final against Aston Villa at Wembley.
The colours refer to Newton Heath, the club founded in 1878 that then became Manchester United in 1902.

Fans of "Project Runway" have loved Tim Gunn for years, and now he's got his own show. "Under the Gunn" premieres Thursday night on Lifetime, and fans are dying to get started with it. On Jan. 16 Zap2It shared a bit about what fans can expect from this new show.
Tim Gunn isn't the only familiar face "Project Runway" fans will see in "Under the Gunn." Former contestants Nick Verreos, Anya Ayoung-Chee and Mondo Guerra are on hand as well. The premise will feel similar to "Project Runway" in many ways, it seems.
The 15 contestants will be embracing the opportunity to work with one of the three previous "Project Runway" designers. Someone will be eliminated each week, and if a mentor loses all of his or her designers, they are done. "Under the Gunn" was filmed in Los Angeles, which Tim Gunn loves. He says the challenges are very difficult, much like "Project Runway."
This seems like it will be an attractive vehicle for Gunn. He gets to still mentor, but with a new approach. Viewers will see new designers, but they will also get to watch "Runway" alums that they have loved in the past. So far it's sounding like a win-win for both Tim Gunn and "Project Runway" fans.
Which of the three new mentors will have the most successful approach in leading the new designers? Viewers can't wait to find out. "Under the Gunn" premieres on Lifetime Thursday, Jan. 16.

Great site guys... and great job! I have a request for a cartoon. I would love to see a small president bush in the hands of Uncle Sam. With President bush pointing and looking in a direction with the president saying ("onwards"). Or something to that extent. Thanks again and nice to see the comments added.
my best
First....Thanks everyone. You've made the "silly season" very satisfying. And we're just getting warmed up!
Did you notice the strange evolution of Kerry's caricature? Over time, I realized a cutting exaggeration (beady sloping eyes set wide apart, the hooking nose over a tiny downturned mouth, and of course, THE CHIN) could be improved with closer observation, NOT LESS.
I imagine the caricature process can be described as learning to see in high detail and then taking a wrecking ball to the mundane,
Rest assured, as new faces pop up in the news, I'll keep swingin' for the fences.....

Great site, keep up the great work...i visit daily and always laughPosted by Brandon at November 4, 2004 06:40 PM
This comment is for your Victory cartoon, no comment link there. Now that the election is over, the cartoon could give valuable advice to George the Younger on future dealing with the Dems. In the words of Rawhide, "Don't try to understand them, just rope and roll and brand them."

Sharp, incisive, insightful... and these are your WEAK points! You guys are tops!
I've gottta get my scanner fixed and start posting caricatures and political-commentary cartoons! Until then, you're untouchable!
And THANKS for opening up comments!Posted by Carridine at November 4, 2004 09:44 PM
don't know if you guys read the comments or take suggestions on updating cartoons, but the first pic at the top deserves a little update, adding Dan Rather's head to the wall along with Edwards, Teresa, and maybe McAuliffe. If George Lucas can get away with changing entire scenes in his movies, I don't see a problem with re-using a fantastic idea and tweaking it a little :)

Wooohooo! Comments!
I just wanted to say Thanks guys.
I've printed out several of your cartoons and sent em to my hubs in Afghanistan. You keep both of us laughing.
Thanks Again.Posted by Tink at November 5, 2004 02:05 AM
Since you've opened comments for a bit, I'd just like to express my gratitude for all that you've done over the past few years. Excellent, brilliant work. I know it's been said many times before, but I find it disgusting that you're not in more papers. I mean, heck, Ben Sargent has nothing on you guys. I don't think you've had a strip yet that hasn't made me think and laugh at the same time. Unlike most political cartoonists these days, your work isn't driven by some juvenile spiteful hate, and as a consequence your work is far more trenchant than that of the editorial writers.
Good luck! We all love you. Even some liberals I know...Posted by Jeremiah at November 5, 2004 10:05 AM
Thanks, guys. I look forward to owning your new book-especially to that full-color Uncle Sam. I love your work.Posted by evariste at November 5, 2004 11:01 AM

Johnson Earns Third Southern Defensive Player of the Week Honor
For the third time this season Princeton women's water polo freshman Ashleigh Johnson has been named CWPA Southern Division Defensive Player of the Week. This is the goalie's fifth career weekly conference honor, as she has been named Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week once already too.
Versus four ranked opponents at the Aztec Invite, Johnson made 36 saves, seven steals and two assists to help the Tigers to a weekend split. She made eight and 10 stops in wins over then-No. 16 UC Davis and No. 13 CSU Northridge, respectively on Mar. 16. Against then-No. 8 Hawaii and No. 7 San Diego State, she combined for 18 saves for the second consecutive day.
On the year, Johnson has 197 saves, 24 steals and five assists. She has started all 18 games this year and is 14-4.
The Tigers head next to the LMU Invite in Los Angeles to tackle four opponents.

The web is buzzing this week due to a report that Megan Fox (Transformers, Jennifer's Body) has been cast opposite Christian Bale and Michael Caine in Christopher Nolan's unnamed third installment (not yet confirmed) in the Batman saga. Gordon Smart's Bizzare from The Sun (a UK based tabloid) reported this piece of news earlier this week claiming that Megan Fox has been signed on to play Catwoman and Batman fanatics have been up-in-arms regarding this piece of news. The Sun used outlandish remarks such as, "Megan will need to get into practice with her talcum powder application..." to claim this piece of rumor mill to be true only to have it debunked by entertainment news groups such as Ain't It Cool News. That being said, Megan Fox's publicist has mentioned that Megan is a huge fan of Christopher Nolan's Batman films and is open to such casting.
Since this news came up, many people (especially on Twitter) have been complaining about the possibility of Megan Fox becoming Catwoman. Rather than quoting all these complaints here, I will give you my take and picks of the perfect Catwoman.
Lets face it. The 3rd Batman film will needs a female character to play off of Batman and Bruce Wayne. Rachel Dawes was the anchor that kept Bruce Wayne grounded in the first 2 movies (Katie Holmes in Batman Begins and Maggie Gyllenhaal in The Dark Knight) and now that she has died (sorry if I spoiled her death to you, but if you haven't watched Dark Knight yet, you deserved it) there is a void that must be filled in the next movie. Catwoman is a perfect choice as a new character to introduce in Christopher Nolan's Batman saga. Catwoman has been everything from villain to love interest since her introduction in 1940 (Batman #1). Of course, this article is not really about why Catwoman should be in the next Batman movie, but which actress would be most suitable to play her.

We know that it is very frustrating when your air conditioner is not working. Murphy's Law is that the air conditioner will normally quit working on the hottest day of the year and/or you are expecting 20 guests in your home in three hours.
It is even more frustrating when the Service Technician shows up, works about 5 minutes "flips a switch" and hands you a bill for the service call. The service call fee can vary from $90 and up.
Before calling for service, you might want to consider checking the following items. Checking these items may prevent a service call or help us diagnose your system problem quicker.
- Check your filters and registers. We have found that this is one of the most common problems when a system doesn't seem to be cooling enough or not functioning at all. An extremely dirty air filter can block air flow. In some cases, if the filter is really dirty it can shut the entire system down. Also, if the system doesn't seem to be cooling enough check to make sure that all registers are open and not obstructed.
- Check the settings on your thermostat. Make sure the temperature control selector is set below the current room temperature, and the system switch is on the COOL or AUTO position. The fan switch should be set to ON for continuous airflow or AUTO if you want the blower to operate only while the air conditioner (or heat pump) is operating.
- Try to get the air conditioner (or heat pump) to turn on by lowering the thermostat to its lowest temperature setting.
- Check power disconnect switch by each unit (outdoor and indoor).
- Check the fuse/breaker at the electrical panel for both the outdoor and indoor unit.
If the problem persists, please call us. We offer 24 hour emergency service with no overtime rates for after hours or weekend service. You can give us a call or fill out the form below (for non-emergency service).
Provide us some details and the experts at T.A. Kaiser will get your appointment scheduled. In order to follow up with you, some information below is required. (None of this information will be shared with others.)[contact-form-7 404 "Not Found"]

The Nashville Predators beat the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks in regulation Friday, April 4. The San Jose Sharks are not about to pay them back with hospitality for helping in a chase for the division by losing Saturday.
The defending 2013 Pacific Division champions are still a game up and own the tiebreak. San Jose has just four games left, but winning all of them could be enough. If the game in Anaheim is won in regulation, it opens the door to a title if the rivals even drop two of their other possible eight points.
In short, any combination of seven points earned by the Ducks or missed by the Sharks means a repeat champion in the Pacific Division. The Predators have a tragic number of four to be eliminated from the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs and have used their top goalie, and should be beaten at home.
Then again, they might not otherwise be spent after leading more than half the game by three goals. Former San Jose prospect Carter Hutton will be solid in net for a the kind of squad his former teammates tend to be uninspired against, no matter how much they protest that those teams can be tougher when playing for pride.
Teams fighting for Stanley Cup seeding do not also have pride? The Sharks should have both fueling them, and maybe that win or the two in the only other meetings of the 2013-14 NHL season will get the Predators respect.
Nashville offers an extra challenge. No one wants to have elimination be final so late in the season, and this is a better team than its statistics: San Jose scores three more and gives up four fewer goals in every seven games, taking 5.7 more shots and allowing 1.2 fewer, with a slight edge in faceoffs, a 4.8 percent better penalty kill but 1.3 percent worse power play, with almost one additional block and takeaway per game but almost three more giveaways.
While the Sharks have struggled with major contributors Raffi Torres and Tomas Hertl out most of the 2013-14 NHL season and had as many as seven forwards out with injury at one time, the Predators have been hit team-wide. Not one player has played every game, with star goalie Pekka Rinne being the most notable extended absence.
He is back and the team upgraded from Kevin Kline to Michael Del Zotto on the blue line. With a perennial Jack Adams candidate behind the bench in Barry Trotz, this is a Stanley Cup-playoff team despite almost certainly missing it for the 2013-14 NHL season.
The Sharks can start their own playoff preparation by effectively eliminating a playoff-worthy team while facing an elimination of their own—a loss pretty much ends any hope of winning the Pacific Division. Now is the time to get used to games with those stakes to prepare for closing out series in the coming weeks.
Other than approaching the game with killer instinct, there are three keys to victory...
Barry Trotz has disciplined teams. The Nashville Predators are among the teams with the fewest penalty minutes and they stick with a defensive system and wait for scoring opportunities on a counterattack or the power play.
The San Jose Sharks have to remain the team they have been thus far, with the fewest times shorthanded in the 2013-14 NHL season. They also must stay disciplined in their play, not letting frustration over scant scoring chances make them press and open the door for a potentially road-weary team.
Turn their D
The Nashville Predators are coming off a game down the coast the night before. Going through California is Death Valley for many teams in the NHL because strong Pacific Division contenders can feast off tired teams that have played their rivals.
That is what the San Jose Sharks must do. Part of the patience will be knowing that the plays do not have to be made early because they can be made later if the Predators are worn down.
San Jose's strategy should be to turn the defenders around to chase the puck all night, especially the dynamic Shea Weber who plays so many minutes every night. If Nashville has to work hard to defend and to get its scoring chances Saturday, the gas tank will run low by the third period.
Secondary scoring
Even with the San Jose Sharks getting the last change to match lines as they want, Shea Weber will spend a lot of time defending against Joe Thornton or Logan Couture. The other one will probably have to face the solid checking lines.
Beating the Nashville Predators is going to require someone else step up. The Sharks need secondary scoring to win this game.

NORTH BEND, Ore. (AP) — The Coast Guard has rescued another kayaker along the Oregon coast after his watercraft overturned.
The agency diverted a helicopter crew on Tuesday to Sunset Bay, southwest of the entrance to Coos Bay, to rescue a 64-year-old man.
The crew spotted the man wearing a life jacket and floating next to his overturned kayak.
A Coast Guard rescue swimmer hoisted the man into the helicopter and he was delivered to local medics on shore. He was not identified.
On Sunday, a Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued a 65-year-old man after his kayak overturned at the entrance to the Salmon River near Otis, Ore. A rescue swimmer was able to reach that man, who was trapped on some rocks at the river entrance.

Price Check Movie Reviews
User reviews on Price Check
This is a workplace comedy about Pete Cozy who is coasting through life until his new boss Susan turns his world upside down. It is a low budget film that has it's charms but I do not think that it is worth seeing it in the theaters. I was not a fan of the way the main female lead was portrayed, I felt that that the filmmakers were bashing the image of a powerful woman and that is just a shame. I did think that Parker Posey did a great job with her role and I enjoyed the way she delivered the dialogue. The film had some great moments and I think it is worth seeing it at the comfort of your home.
Workplace comedies are usually fun. They are the best outlet for all of life's most entertaining and frustrating relationships and dynamics: sex, love, money, ambition, failure, and awkwardness go hand in hand in hand. How else can we explain the super success of cult movies like Office Space and Horrible Bosses and TV classics like Murphy Brown, Ally McBeal, and (of course) The Office? We like our work spaces bizarre, wacky and completely related to all the madness of life's greatest triumphs and tragedies.
The same holds true in the winning new comedy Price Check which stars indie darling Parker Posey as the new boss to a failing grocery chain who descends upon the premises to revamp much more than the endcaps on aisle 10. Eric Mabius (who you'll probably remember as Daniel Meade from Ugly Betty) co-stars as Pete Cozy, a one-time wannabe bigshot in the music biz who has failed his way into the land of a thousand canned soups. He doesn't care much for his job as a price fixer at a failing grocery chain, but it is his life's work (by default) so he has little choice but to make it work. Things get dicey when Susan Felders (Posey) shows up to correct the sinking ship, which she does by behaving in an alpha female way that is, well, more sexual than anyone may have anticipated.
Susan is a huge mess on heels. She calls her ex-boyfriend from work to harass him when she should be looking at sales figures. She invites herself to one of her employee's kid's preschool Halloween parties . . . dressed as s***ty Pocahontas. She also does the nasty with the office douche bag during an actual office party. Needless to say, she is not the savior they were expecting.
It's pretty funny for the first half, but then things go decidedly somber when it's revealed that all Susan really wants is a baby. (Really? This is a woman who should be bearing and rearing offspring?) She is as off-the-wall and emotionally blunted and patently insane as any cartoon creation Looney Tunes ever animated. She is, however, very real, brought to life by an audacious performance from Posey who plays the part like an intoxicated construction worker with a motorized sledgehammer. Bystanders beware. And everyone else too, actually.

I started embroidering when I was in Jr. High and then in college I saw a friend doing cross stitch. I then fell in love with cross stitch. Also as a young girl my grandmother taught me to crochet and knit. As time passed I did not continue to knit and crochet. A year ago I took a knitting class and have been learning more and more.

It's been just a little over one year since I took over the 4-6pm slot on KPFK. I hope to be here for many years to come and hopefully this will be our tradition for future anniversary shows, showcasing the best performances from the prior year. Since the end of May last year we've had the good fortune of bringing in Pacha Massive, The Gories, Chicano Batman, Francoiz Breut, Quadron, Belleruche, La Sera, J-Rocc, Bing Ji Ling and most recently Corin Tucker. There are a handful of other bands I tried to get in, local, national and international, but things just didn't work out, but hopefully will in the future. During the show I talk a bit about the interviews, some behind the scenes things and also about my hopes for the future of this program. Full versions of these performances/interviews can be found in the "Be Our Guest" section of this blog. It's really been a pleasure hosting this show during this first year, even with the incessant fundraising, and I really appreciate those of you who listen to the show and have been spreading the word. Next week we're back to regular business as we move on to year #2!!!

Immunovaccine signed a research agreement with Weill Cornell Medical College to advance a vaccine for treating cocaine addiction. The new vaccine would stimulate the body's own immune system to prevent cocaine molecules from reaching the brain, blocking the effects of the drug before it produced pleasurable sensations.
The project will combine Cornell's cocaine antigen with Immunovaccine's DepoVax adjuvanting platform. Previous studies have shown potential in animals, and the new study seeks to create a stronger and longer-lasting immunity in mice. If successful, the study, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, could speed the way to human trials with a more effective vaccine than the one announced by Cornell only last year.
The previous studies used a viral vector platform linked to a cocaine analog to formulate the vaccine candidate. These results showed the anticocaine vaccine raised antibody levels high enough to sequester the cocaine molecules before the drug reached the brains of the mice and prevented cocaine-related hyperactivity. The new study will determine if the addition of the DepoVax adjuvanting technology will trigger an even stronger and longer-lasting immune response.
DepoVax works with a variety of antigens to form vaccines to be used in the treatment of cancers and the prevention of many infectious diseases. It has been shown to create a unique depot effect that attracts antigen-presenting cells to the injection site to generate a rapid and robust immune response. Immunovaccine is currently conducting human trials in ovarian cancer.

Last month, recently-revived American automaker Detroit Electric unveiled its Lotus-bodied SP.01 – it's said to be the fastest pure-electric car on the market. Although only 999 of the cars will be built, the company did state that other models were in the works for next year. At the recent Shanghai Auto Show, Detroit Electric and China's Geely Automobile Group (which owns Volvo) announced they they would be teaming up on one of those – the EC7-EV. Read More
Swedish automotive icon Volvo is celebrating its 85th birthday and will reenact driving the first mass-produced Volvo ÖV4 off the production line and through the company gates in Göteborg. Volvo heroically focused on the safety of the occupants of its cars long before other manufacturers decided it was fashionable, pioneering many of the features (such as the three-point seat belt) we find in the cars of today.Read More
One of the most imaginative concept cars we've ever seen turned up at Auto Shanghai this week and it didn't come from Japan, Germany, France or America – it was the result of two years work in China by Geely engineers and is the synthesis of over 60 IP-protected ideas. In essence, it's an ultra compact, two-door, four-seater with a built-in, folding three wheeled electric scooter in the rear. When the scooter is docked, the car shares both its battery and electric motor to extend the all-electric range or ensure the scooter is fully charged. The vehicle is proposed as having choice of gas-electric hybrid or fully electric powerplants. Sheer genius … and a catchy name which must surely attract a legal challenge.Read More
China's meteoric rise to become the center of the world's automotive industry was well documented last week in our article and video on SAIC's YEZ Concept car. This week another Chinese manufacturer is making global headlines by buying Volvo Automobiles. Unlike Government-owned SAIC, Volvo's purchaser Zhejiang Geely is a public company controlled by Li Shufu (top left) a self-made 47 year-old billionaire who is being heralded as China's Henry Ford. Geely's ambition knows no bounds – it already plans to produce the world's cheapest car (the tiny gullwing at top right), has a range of green drive trains ready for market including full electric and parallel and serial hybrids, has plans to produce a serious sports cars (bottom right) and now the first fully-owned Chinese prestige auto brand looks set to grab a fat slice of the Government fleet which makes up 8% of China's auto market.Read More
November 17, 2006 The scarily large and growing Chinese automotive industry will impact everyone on the planet in more ways than just rising fuel prices and greenhouse gas emissions – it will also significantly influence design, so don't be surprised to begin seeing new brand names you've never heard of on some pretty dashing automobiles … like Geely f'rinstance. The Chinese auto maker will introduce the Fengying concept car at the Beijing Auto show, complete with styling borrowed from the aero industry and scissor doors.Read More

Sukuk industry booming in GCC region
Gulf Islamic bond sales are beating Sharia-compliant loans in the Middle East, Europe and Africa (EMEA) for the first time since 2006 as borrowers seize on tumbling yields to finance roads and airports.
Sales of sukuk in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have almost quadrupled this year to $18.5 billion as Saudi Arabia's state-run Civil Aviation Authority and Qatar's government sold $4 billion each, according to data. Loans that comply with Islam's ban on interest, by comparison, have risen 57 per cent to $11.4 billion in EMEA.
Borrowers in the GCC, home to about a third of global oil reserves, will rely more on Islamic bonds after yields dropped to a record, Standard & Poor's said in a report on October 8. GCC sukuk sales make up about half of this year's record $38.3 billion of global sales. The average yield on global sukuk fell 103 basis points, or 1.03 percentage points, in the period to a record 2.96 on Tuesday, according to the HSBC/Nasdaq Dubai US Dollar Sukuk Index.
"Sukuk are becoming a legitimate competitor for traditional Islamic loans and you will see them staying like that for a while," Abdul Kadir Hussain, chief executive of Mashreq Capital DIFC, which had $265 million in assets under management in June, said by phone from Dubai on Tuesday.
"It's now a product that is more known to investors and issuers." Companies and government agencies in Saudi Arabiahave raised a record $8 billion from sukuk this year. - Bloomberg News as the state spends more than $500 billion to create jobs, build airports, roads and houses.

More than 7 million children were without health insurance on any given day in 2008, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Of these children, 4.7 million were eligible for either Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), but were not enrolled. As a result, the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services and Education have issued a challenge to enroll 5 million children in either program within the next five years.
Here's a summary of each program:
Medicaid. This is a jointly-funded federal-state partnership that is administered by the states. Medicaid provides health care coverage to certain low-income individuals and families. Whether you qualify for Medicaid may depend on your age; whether you are pregnant, disabled, or blind; your income and resources; and whether you are a U.S. citizen. Children may be eligible for Medicaid even if a parent is not. Each state has a unique set of eligibility rules and benefits.
For more information on Medicaid, go to https://www.cms.gov/home/medicaid.asp
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This program is a state and federal partnership that provides low-cost health insurance coverage for children in families who earn too much income to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford to purchase private health insurance coverage. States have considerable flexibility to establish income eligibility rules for CHIP, but children enrolling in the program must be otherwise uninsured.
Within federal guidelines, each state determines the design of its individual CHIP program, including eligibility parameters, benefit packages, payment levels for coverage, and administrative procedures.
For more information on CHIP, go to: https://www.cms.gov/home/chip.asp.

I was chatting with a friend of mine a couple of days ago, and he asked me:
"So, who's running for anything down there?"
I said, "Well, we have one announced candidate in the 18th, and one announced candidate in the 49th for Pridemore's seat due to his impending retirement from elective politics."
Last cycle, there were ten candidates announced by now in just the 18th. (Barnett, Bittner, Carson, Dean, Haugen, Kampe, Rivers, Russell, Vick, Orcutt)
Locally, we have precisely zero challenge candidates announced for the legislature or county commission. Even Jaime Herrera has no serious opposition when I believe her to be particularly vulnerable because of her demonstrated lack of courage.
Where are all the candidates? What is happening out there?
You hear rumbles out there... but that's all. I hear the name Tanner bandied about, for example... but as a democrat with a voting record in the legislature, he needs to be careful. This isn't going to be a democrat year in SW Washington.
Still, no names announced... just a bunch of rumors.
Time's getting critical; filing has moved back yet another month to May... that's right around the corner.
The blog that NOBODY reads... but everyone gets upset about. Exposing the dark underside of the political world of Clark County, Washington... The least read and most talked about blog around.

How would you rank Miley Cyrus?
What other guys thought:
Watch the video
Why is Miley Cyrus desirable?
The tongue-exposing, illicit-substance-ingesting, wrecking-ball-riding Miley Cyrus is the most controversial figure of the moment. With her Hannah Montana days far behind her, she's become a boundary-pushing superstar whose music comes second to her brand. Sure, her act may be carefully designed to garner attention, but we're still looking forward to seeing what stunts she pulls this year.

I am writing an XML generator per my manager's request. For less typings' sake, I decided using ElementTree as parser and SimpleXMLWriter as writer.
The result XML require attributes named "class". e.g.
<Node class="oops"></Node>
As the official tutorial suggested, to write an XML node just use this method:
w.element("meta", name="generator", value="my application 1.0")
So I wrote:
