Schlafly's Straight Talk About GOP's Voter Suppression Sends Ostrich Pundits into Denial
Maddowblog's Steve Benen has unearthed a quote from the right-wing Eagle Forum's Phyllis Schlafly, which proves more than a little embarrassing for Republicans, who have been parroting the "voter suppression? who us?" defense. It goes like this:
The reduction in the number of days allowed for early voting is particularly important because early voting plays a major role in Obama's ground game. The Democrats carried most states that allow many days of early voting, and Obama's national field director admitted, shortly before last year's election, that "early voting is giving us a solid lead in the battleground states that will decide this election."
The Obama technocrats have developed an efficient system of identifying prospective Obama voters and then nagging them (some might say harassing them) until they actually vote. It may take several days to accomplish this, so early voting is an essential component of the Democrats' get-out-the-vote campaign.
To which Benen responds, "Have you ever heard a political figure accidentally read stage direction, unaware that it's not supposed to be repeated out loud? This is what Schlafly's published column reminds me of."
The Schlafly quote will be roundly ignored by the conservative ostrich pundits, like George Will, Russ Douthat, Peggy Noonan and David Brooks, who know perfectly well that Schlafly was telling the raw truth. They will refuse to acknowledge it in any way, because it offends their nostalgic view of their party as stout defender of conservatism, when really it has become the party of contempt for democracy and fair elections, with an increasingly high tolerance for racism.
They also know that there is essentially no voter fraud. But they won't write about that either, because they can't do so and still retain the thin veneer of credibility that they believe separates their columns from partisan hackery.
Like her more genteel conservative colleagues, Schlafly has been known to dance around the truth. But not this time. Credit her with telling it straight, as Benen concludes:
And then there's Phyllis Schlafly, writing a piece for publication effectively saying Democrats are entirely right -- North Carolina had to dramatically cut early voting because it's not good for Republicans.
Remember, Schlafly's piece wasn't intended as criticism; this is her defense of voter suppression in North Carolina. Proponents of voting rights are arguing, "This is a blatantly partisan scheme intended to rig elections," to which Schlafly is effectively responding, "I know, isn't it great?"
It's a sad time for opinion journalism, when the top 'conservative' columnists can't take a stand, calling on their party to defend the democratic principle of fair elections with outcomes based on honest debate, instead of suppressing votes.

Steven Chu: On Energy Policy, Science Meets Politics
Nobel-prize winning physicist Steven Chu laid out his ideas for America's future energy mix at his confirmation hearing Tuesday. In a word, he supports President-elect Barack Obama's "comprehensive" energy prescriptions, including a strong emphasis on using energy policy to tackle climate change. Now, his only apparent obstacle is politics as usual.
Dr. Chu reprised his by-now familiar positions—cautious support for more domestic oil and gas production, more nuclear power, and developing clean coal. But for the past four years, as head of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, biofuels have been his true passion.
But energy policy—especially when it comes to biofuels—hews a lot closer to political calculus than it does to any laboratory; the folks with their fingers on the pursestrings of energy policy don't usually worry as much about science as much as bringing the bacon home.
Take the exchange Dr. Chu had with Arkansas Democrat Blanche Lincoln, when she prompted him to talk about the work he's done on fourth-generation biofuels, including ways to boost biofuel production without tapping into the food supply.
"Finally, we're getting to the science," Dr. Chu said, offering his first big smile of the morning.
Sen. Lincoln pre-empted any detailed lecture on starches or modified yeast. "I just want to make sure it's something we grow," she said, laughing.
"It will be," Dr. Chu reassured her.
Sen. Lincoln's office stressed that the senator, a biology major who hails from a seventh-generation farm family, was genuinely interested in the nitty gritty of Dr. Chu's biofuel plans. "She believes agricultural products and biomass can play a large role in our nation's much-needed transition to a new energy economy and knows that rural states like Arkansas can greatly contribute," her office told us.

The first half of "Revenge" season 3 has been filled with drama, mystery and suspense. From spoilers that have been revealed so far, it looks like the second half will be just as good. While most of the spoilers have to do with Emily, Celebrity News & Style reported on Feb. 10 that there is some information about Aiden. This information could explain some of the mystery that shrouds the character.
Warning: If you do not want to know "Revenge" season 3 spoilers, then stop reading.
There will be flashbacks showing Aiden as a 12-year-old boy. He apparently experienced something quite traumatic and while what happened has not been revealed, E!Online reported that it will explain to fans why he is "so brooding."
There will also be flashbacks with other characters. One is of Conrad and Victoria when they first started their romance. At the time Conrad was married to Stevie, the first Mrs. Grayson and a new character named Pascal will be introduced. He ties into the story because he was interested in Victoria and has a past with both her and Conrad.
It seems that the plot is going to thicken, deeply buried secrets are going to be revealed and the episodes will not just focus on Emily, but on the other characters and their pasts as well.
"Revenge" season 3 will return on March 9.

Scientific Knowledge
Suppressed By Religion

Subject: WebMaster: Positive Atheism Index
Dear Cliff,
First, I would like to thank you for providing one of my favorite sites. Before I happened upon it I was almost ashamed to admit that I was, in fact, an atheist. No longer is this the case, now if the topic arises, I do not even hesitate labeling myself as an atheist. Thank you for the boost in confidence.
Second, I was hoping that you might direct me towards some literature (or web sites, etc.) that deal with scientific knowledge that was known, then suppressed by religion, then "discovered" again (mostly during the enlightenment). For instance, the suppression of the knowledge that the earth was round and went around the sun, etc.
I am an anthropology student at the University of Michigan and I will be using this information for a term paper on memes. The class is actually a biological anthro class, so I will be treating the religion meme as a parasite. Any other information you might know of that discusses how religion spreads, as well as the countless negative effects it has on both the victim of the meme, and the victim of the victim, would be very much appreciated.
Third, I promise to subscribe to the print edition of your magazine when my studies end, and more importantly, when I become employed.
Thank you,

We have the complete History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science by John William Draper. When we posted it, ours was the only copy online, but I think others have crept up since then. We converted it directly from the original, and by then we had perfected our current three-level process of proofreading. Many e-text conversions still run these things through an OCR and it doesn't look like they even checked them.
We still have not found the time to put up a carefully crafted e-text version of The History of the Warfare of Science With Theology in Christendom by Andrew Dickinson White, but several copies of this work exist on the Internet, and most of them are pretty readable. Since this work has probably influenced me more than any other single work, I will eventually convert my first edition to e-text, with notes linked to and from and links from the index. But I have deliberately placed this work on lower priority simply because it is widely available on the Web.
Warfare helped me to forge some important portions of my current viewpoint -- specifically, my attitudes toward the notion that religion has ever had anything good to offer humankind. I'd say that White's work influenced me at least as much as that of Thomas Paine. I am not calling it a reference book, by any means; much has been learned since it was written a little more than 100 years ago.
The gist of the book (that we had developed a certain level of scientific knowledge, but that science was suppressed by religion) is important to keep in mind in our personal outreach toward those who are not as active in their atheism (or perhaps not even aware of their atheism).
Along similar subjects, historian William E. H. Lecky wrote History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe and also History of European Morals (still unposted), both of which showcase the differences between when religion reigned supreme and the delicate twigs of rational thought broke through the cracks in that pavement and eventually grew to push aside entire foundations of dogmatic thinking. Eventually, rationalism broke up the ground and made quick the earth, paving the way room for the natural selection of ideas, freely compared and thoroughly scrutinized, competing for the assent of the community -- only until such time as a newer, better explanation comes along.
I'll use this as an opportunity to plug our e-text conversion proofreading group: if you're interested in helping us proofread any of our converted e-texts, let me know. These are at various stages of completion, and if you, for example, plan to read Draper's book in its entirety, let me know and I'll give you the sheet that we use to find out what kinds of problems plagued this or that project, and thus what kinds of errors to look out for. While it's impossible to get a "perfect" copy o some of these works, it's safe to say that our editions are, for the most part, suitable for quoting. Many e-text conversions out there have been simply fed into a sheet-feeding OCR setup and posted without so much as a first-stage edit.
I'm sure there are more modern works which cover aspects and elements of this, but these, particularly White's work, are the classic pieces in this respect. A good history of science work ought to at least note this fact, if not make it the centerpiece. It's no secret that hardly any stars or constellations were given Christian names when astronomy was in its heyday of discovery. Very few scientists during the Middle Ages and the Dark Ages came from within Christendom -- or when they did, they were prevented from making crucial contributions. The whole point of science is free discussion and careful scrutiny and critical inquiry. These activities were all forbidden under the iron rule of Christ.
The only thing I would caution is that I've read some modern authors who freely quote "historian" this or "scientist" that, but the people they quote are not widely recognized as historians or scientists -- apart from the dust-flap of their latest book, of course. This is why it is important to have a working grasp of sophistry and rhetorical fallacy. With these, combined with a good foundation in liberal scientific method, you can easily identify when something smells like a rat. You aren't any closer to the truth except in the sense that you can filter out many more lies with these tools than you could without them. I get a lot out of the Bibliography section of any book I read. For example, from the Bibliography (and Endnotes) of Richard Dawkins's Unweaving The Rainbow, I found enough "must-read" books to keep me busy for several months. I picked up on Lecky because he was so heavily referenced in Joseph Lewis's The Ten Commandments.
The big thing to look out for in the classic Freethought works of the nineteenth century is that they all still thought that religion, particularly Christianity, was on its death-bed and on the verge of joining Zeus and Eris and the others in The Great Museum of Ancient Mythology. Only within the past decade or two have we discovered plausible explanations as to why people tend to be so utterly religious despite the widespread discrediting of religion and superstition.
Thus we have begun to think that knowledge is not enough: it wasn't back then because religion is still here, stronger than ever (at least in the US). Seeing this shortsightedness on the part of the nineteenth-century writers will help temper their conclusions and recommendations. Again, we don't know what the answers are, but here's one more clue as to what they arent.

Sorry for replying after so long, I was out of town searching for an apartment for an upcoming move. I appreciate your time; the links you sent will certainly add some historical depth to my paper. I am quite angry that you informed me of "A History Of The Warfare Of Science With Theology In Christendom." I intended only to briefly skim-read the introduction last night, however, I ended up having sore eyes after reading for nearly four hours. I am debating now whether I should torture my eyes reading on the computer, spend $300 on ink cartridges to print it, or just spend the $250 to buy it. Anyway, good call -- I am sure I will be citing this book for years to come.
As for the proof reading, I would love to do it. However, since I am a student (and I am about to leave for graduate studies in New Haven for three more years), my time is a bit limited. I would be willing to do it if first, it is for a book etc. that you are not in a tremendous hurry to get online, and second, if you can at least try to make it something good--so I can justify, in my own mind, the time I am taking from my studies. My graduate degree is in architecture, and architecture professors find great delight in depriving their students of sleep!
Thank you,

On Friday, April 18, KOMO 4 News reported that K9 siblings Jaeger and Ziva nabbed suspects in two separate cases only hours apart. According to Seattle Police, K9s Jaeger and Ziva successfully tracked down two suspects on the night of Thursday, April 17.
The K9 German Shepherd siblings, who are from the same litter, began their crime busting spree with Jaeger's arrest. The police dog helped fellow officers track down a man who was suspected of attacking someone earlier that day. The man, who was also wanted on a drug warrant, was arrested and booked into jail for investigation of felony harassment.
Only an hour later that same night, police dog Ziva made her arrest. Officers arrived after they received a call regarding a group of people on the roof of a vacant building. According to the caller, the persons were hitting a compressor with a sledgehammer.
The suspects ran when the officers arrived, but K9 Ziva found them hiding - two in a closet and a third hiding in a roof vent. The three suspects were booked into jail for investigation of burglary.
Jaeger and Ziva were born on November 15, 2007 and were raised by Seattle Police Officer Rory Smith as part of the "von Grunheide Shepherds" police puppy program. The von Grunheide German Shepherds program has officers help raise, socialize, and train potential future police dogs.
German Shepherds like Jaeger and Ziva are known to be loyal, loving, protective, and dependable. According to the American Kennel Club, the German Shepherd is one of the most popular breeds in the U.S. The breed is also popular for military, police, and guard work, as well as being a loving family member.
Jaeger began working for the Seattle Police Department with Officer Smith in 2009 as one of the 11 Seattle Police Generalist patrol dog teams. His sister, Ziva, is one of only two female tracking dogs in Washington. Ziva and her partner, Mark Wong, have been a K9 team for more than three years. According to Officer Wong, it's wonderful to partner with his K9.
"Ziva is a wonderful dog. It's a pleasure working with her and being in the Canine Unit," he stated. "She makes going to work very enjoyable!"
Patrol dogs are a vital part of the Seattle Police force: they work seven nights a week, 365 nights a year, to support patrol officers and assist in the apprehension of fleeing suspects.
When they are not protecting the public, Jaeger and Ziva live with their handlers and enjoy playing ball and occasionally hanging out one another.

User reviews on Big Trouble in Little China
I would start off by saying that "Big Trouble In Little China" is one of my all-time favorite movies. It is about a truck driver named Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) who and his chinese best friend go on a mission to save Jack's friend's girlfriend. They soon discover a hidden underworld beneath San Francisco's Chinatown filled with evil magicians, ninjas, martial arts fighters, monsters and everything. It is absolutely awesome! However, there are some scary moments, and some edgy parts. It would be an awesome family movie for I'd say 10 years of age and up.

Reported November 2011
BOULDER, CO (Ivanhoe Newswire) --Everyone knows the frustration of having a battery die right when you need it. Now researchers have created a new battery with more power, so you can talk, type, or even drive longer. We report on why it really is the battery that keeps going and going, and going./p>
They power our phones, our computers, even our cars. But batteries have one big downside, they die! And its usually way to soon and at the worst possible time. Chemist Amy Prieto and her colleagues at Colorado State University are working to change that.
"If you could make one really good battery, you could put it into a bunch of different areas and really impact people's lives, Amy Prieto, a chemist at Colorado State University told Ivanhoe.
That's just what Prieto did. Calculations predict this prototype battery has a 1,000 higher power density, lasts 10 times longer, can be charged an unlimited amount of times and is a third of the cost of current lithium ion batteries.
"The key to our battery is it's very high surface area, Prieto said.
A high surface area means it will charge faster. The battery is made up of three main parts: an anode-made of tiny copper nanowires, a cathode-made from a rubber-like material, and an electrolyte-made of plastic that separates the anode from the cathode. Nanowires increase the batterys performance and are so small that 25 million of them can fit on the surface of a penny.
"So, they're really tiny, that surface area is about 10,000-times higher, so that's where you get this power from, Prieto explained.
Researchers will first test the battery on electric bikes then smart phones, and one day everything from pacemakers to electric cars.
"A battery could really revolutionize a lot of areas, Prieto concluded.
Its an invention that could be on the market and available to you by next year.
Prieto says they are sending out prototypes of the battery to be tested in the next six months. Then they will try to get it on the market quickly. She also points out that this new battery is less toxic than current models and is better on the environment.

High-level, high-achieving athletes are pretty selfish, they have to be. A large part of their life revolves around their training, nutrition, mental game and performances.
You have got to be pretty self-absorbed in all the fine details of your mental and physical game in order to get to, and excel at, the elite level of any sport. So you make choices that not every athletes makes.
"Sacrifices". It really annoys me when I hear elite athletes saying they've "sacrificed" so much to get where they are. Because it's simply not true.
No one is forcing you to be an elite athlete. You have made a
choice to compete on the highest level. So you have to make
choices that match your desire to be the best. No one really
wants to do hill sprints at 6 A.M. or miss their high school prom
for a roller derby tournament.
If you' have made a big choice to be the best, a choice that most athletes
simply are not willing to make, then you've got to make a lot of smaller
choices to help you get there. And those smaller choices to do what's best for you are a little selfish. Nothing wrong with that.
But I'm going to let you in on a little secret. But the best players in roller derby skaters are the ones who make their teammates better. :::
It doesn't really matter what position you play - at some point, to move yourself
from being good to great, you've got to become a team player.
It's really easy to get wrapped up in all of the things you need to improve on
personally as a player in order to reach the next level.
So while it may be easy to be selfish and stay "me" focused, you need to shift
your focus to making the rest of the team better in order to excel.

A: While strokes can occur in dogs and cats, it is far less common than in humans. Strokes can be definitively diagnosed with advanced imaging in veterinary referral centers. Before this type of imaging is done, your pet should be examined by a veterinarian. Simple blood tests and x-rays may identify another problem that is causing this to happen to your pet.

On Friday evening one channel suddenly dropped in volume and lost it's top end. This was followed by a nasty burning smell from one of the 300B PSE monoblocks. I turned everything off and went to bed!
When I tried the amp again on Saturday I noticed one of the 300B valves was getting really hot. A bit of poking around with a test meter and a shorted cap was soon identified. It was a 100v 100uF Black Gate cathode bypass cap.
Black Gates aren't available any more, so I've ordered a quartet of the Elna Silmic IIs to replace all the Black Gates. Should arrive tomorrow.
Has anyone used these? Do you have any views on them? Do they need to burn in like the Black Gates, which always needed a fair bit of running in before they "popped" and start sounding right.

Suppose that this program and its dual are feasible. Let $\lambda$ be the optimal solution of the dual. If the $k$th constraint equation of the primal is multiplied by $\mu \neq 0$, how could we express an optimal solution $w$ to the dual of this new problem?

Spring is the time to get prepped for summer by treating yourself to a head-to-toe skin detox. In NYC, there are tons of options to choose from, but not all spas are created equal. It takes research to find those truly relaxing, change-your-life type of spots. So we've done the work for you. Following are five of the best day spas that Manhattan has to offer, as well as our top treatment picks. So if you've got some money to spend, go ahead and splurge. You're worth it.
Bliss SOHO
Bliss SOHO
568 Broadway, New York, NY 10012
(877) 862-5477
While we love all of the Bliss Spas around the country, we're particularly enamored with Bliss SOHO, which we believe to be the best of the NYC bunch. The roomy waiting room is one of the reasons: the couches are cozy, there are always treats such as cheese and crackers, as well as pitchers of water and fresh tea.
And of course, all the treatments are divine.
In addition, the front lobby is filled with beautiful Bliss goods. So if you fell in love with something that was used on you during a treatment (such as an oil, scrub, lotion or even a specific tool), chances are you can buy it when you check out. Sure, they're cashing in by creating this beautiful lobby of beauty candy, but you're benefitting too by taking home a piece of your spa experience, which you can recreate in your own shower or tub.
We Love: The Scrubs Deluxe, in which get to lay in a Vichy shower (did you get that? You're lying down. In a shower. Heaven!), and get a full-body scrub using the Bliss scrub of your choice. Once rinsed, the treatment is followed by a through application of your choice of lotion. The Scrubs Deluxe is perfect for ridding yourself of all that built-up dry, winter skin, and you'll leave feeling baby soft and ready for summer.
Cornelia Spa at The Surrey
Cornelia Spa at The Surrey
20 East 76th Street, New York, NY 10021
(626) 358-3600
Located inside The Surrey, one of the Upper East Side's most luxe boutique hotels, the Cornelia Spa is the place to go if you're looking for an exotic, one-of-a-kind treatment. The menu of services is filled with unique offerings, however the spa's master therapists also like to work with their clients to make sure that the treatments chosen are custom tailored to suit their customers' tastes, skin types, problem areas and more.
The waiting rooms are comfortable, beautifully decorated, and stocked with nibbles, water and tea. The gauzy curtains add an extra essence of calm; one could easily sneak in a great meditation session while they wait for their scheduled treatment.
Cornelia also offers "Considered Moments," which are quick, lunchtime or late-day treatments that can be squeezed in between meetings or school pick-up times. If you're in the midst of a hectic day, but could really use a quick pick-me-up, this is perfect. Services take about 30 minutes and include a Mini Facial, a Mini Back Purifier, a Honey Skin Smoother and more.
We Love: The Champagne & Pearl Sugar Glow Body Polish, which is just about as luxurious sounding as a body treatment can get. Mother of Pear powder, which removes the build up of dead skin cells, is gently applied, leaving your skin polished and soft. This is followed by a warm Champagne Shimmer Oil, which heavily hydrates as well as adds a natural sparkle to your now-pampered derma. Lastly, an age-defying gold serum, which is mixed with the Mother of Pearl powder, is applied to your face. You'll emerge from this treatment absolutely aglow, from head to toe.
Great Jones Spa
Great Jones Spa
29 Great Jones Street, New York, NY 10012
(212) 505-3185
Perhaps best known for its indoor water lounge and cascading falls, the Great Jones Spa offers so much more than its curative bath treatments (though they are beyond fantastic, there's no doubt about that). The spa's treatment menu is extensive, and includes massages, facials, body treatments and even hair salon services; you can get a cut, color, conditioning treatment; you name it. Oh, and there's also a juice bar. So there's really nothing missing from this fabulous lower east side oasis.
We Love: Reiki Energy Work. Great Jones offers a Reiki treatment (which they refer to as "energy work") which is an extremely intense, spiritual spa experience. If you're not familiar with Reiki, it's a Japanese technique that is used to reduce stress and help heal and restore the balance of energy within your body. Part massage, part meditation, it involves a technique called palm or hands-on healing, where you lie with your palms facing up, releasing your own universal energy while also receiving energy from your therapist. Clearly, there's much more to it, so just look it up.
But we love Great Jones' Reiki treatment because the session is so comfortable and calming. The therapists are top notch and you leave feeling a true rejuvenation within your soul.
If you're a skeptic and would never book anything with the word "energy" in it, try the Deep Tissue Massage, which should leave you well-worked and satisfied.
The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental New York
The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental New York
80 Columbus Circle at 60th Street, New York, NY 10023
(212) 805-8800
The holistic approach used at this high-end spa is bound to improve your mood as well as your skin. The NYC skyline makes for a beautiful backdrop, but you'll forget you're in the city altogether once you enter the Oriental Tea Lounge, the Amethyst Crystal Steam Room (pictured), or settle in for the specialized treatment of your choice.
The spa contains six treatment rooms with private showers, and the menu of services is wide-ranging and unique. Guests can wait on cozy couches while they relax with a beverage, or they can browse the spa boutique.
If you're really in the mood to treat yourself, you can book a VIP Spa Suite, which is essentially a mini hotel room where you can receive your treatment, which is tailored to the lavish environment of your private space.
However the regular spa experiences are still wonderfully divine, and you'll feel just as pampered by the staff no matter what type of treatment you choose.
We Love: The Oriental Essence Body Massage, which is designed to relieve neck and shoulder tension. It's perfect for people who hold stress in their upper body, and the end result is a calm, soothing release of that stress and often, pain. It's one of the Mandarin Oriental's signature spa therapies and they definitely know what they're doing. Plus, the oil combo of ginger, mandarin and frankincense is an aromatic dream.
Spa Martier & Salon New York City
Spa Martier & Salon New York City
1014 Second Ave. New York, NY 10022
(646) 781-9758
In terms of services, Spa Martier & Salon has just about everything a day spa could offer. It's a full-service hair salon and nail parlor, as well as a spa that offers massages, facials, body treatments and more. Martier also scores big points for their no-fuss blow-out bar and fun weekly specials.
The downside, if you can even call it that, is that they offer so much, the space can feel a bit crowded and the choices can feel overwhelming. That said, all spa treatments are performed in serenely decorated rooms that are removed from the mayhem of the salon.
And if you're into getting your nails done, Martier is a must. Perhaps the most extensive section of the menu are the manis; they offer all kinds of unique services, such as the Gold Leaf or the Green Tea Spa manicure, as well as awesome nail are like gel gradations and holograms.
Oh yeah, and they also have a café.
We Love: The Deep Cleansing Facial, because it's honestly and truly deep. It's incredibly thorough, digging into every crevice and pore that needs unclogging, but at the same time, it's relatively gentle. Of course there's some intense touching going on, but as far as deep facials go, this one doesn't destroy your skin in the process. You won't leave looking like you spent the day with someone who poked and prodded at your face for fun.

Hello, Dannyspl.¿ I'm definitely not one of those above average in looks women you're talking about...I'm pretty average.¿ But I've had close friends who are in that above-average category you're talking about.¿ All of them have said the same thing to me:¿ They have to put up with so many hits from men that if they didn't discriminate--on any basis they can find to eliminate the riff-raff--they'd do nothing with their lives but respond--or not respond--to men hitting on them.
Very beautiful women have their own set of troubles to navigate through to get to a good love match that most of the rest of us women can't even begin to imagine having to deal with.¿ Let me give you an example from my own life:¿ Many years ago, back in Manhattan, I had a very dear, close friend who happened to be stunningly gorgeous.¿ She turned heads wherever she went.¿ We used to like to get together every few weeks or so for dinner to catch up with each other on what was going on in our lives.¿ We tried our best to find out of the way quiet bistros where we wouldn't be bothered--meaning where SHE wouldn't be bothered.¿ But no matter where we went to just talk between ourselves, no matter how quiet or unpopulated the place was, we had to put up with some jerk or another -- several jerks, actually, throughout every meal, coming over to our table to interrupt our conversation in an effort to get my friend to go out with him/sleep with him that night/fly off to the Bahamas with him the next day...¿
My friend had to put up with this crap not just when she was having a quiet dinner with me, but wherever she went, and with whomever she went out with, whether it was a girlfriend she was¿spending time with¿or a man she was dating.¿
This woman was a "real" woman, not a golddigger or a user, or any other kind of scammer.¿ She was quite accomplished in her chosen field.¿ After years of putting up with with such crap, by 35 she'd developed a very thick skin about it--and a rather nasty attitude toward the creeps who reacted so strongly to her looks--and she became quite cynical about ever finding a man who would treat her as just a normal woman with a head and a heart and a soul and real feelings and needs.¿
Thank God, she eventually ran into the man who saw her as a "real woman."¿ The one man for her who saw her for who she was in total.¿ He was not particularly "taken" with her looks--Meaning her¿looks did not send him into "shock and awe."¿ He noticed her looks for sure, but after he noticed her looks, he noticed evrything her "looks" said about who she was.¿ He approached her as one human being to another, and began an intelligent conversation that betrayed nothing of how much¿her looks had initially attracted him.¿ This was easy for him because while he found her beautiful, he also saw in her face a powerful¿and unique intelligence--and he was right.¿ He took the tack of responding to that!!!!¿ He did his best to appeal to her unique intelligence and it worked.
This pair dated for 4 months before becoming physically intimate.¿ FOUR MONTHS!!!!¿ The man who won my friend's heart had enormous patience.¿ He also knew instinctively that he had to touch her soul long before he'd touch¿her body.¿
They've been married for 31--or maybe it's 32--years now, and¿they're still going strong.
I hope this¿answers your question to some valuable to you degree.¿ Beautiful women, who also happen to be highly intelligent and on their own course of accomplishment, very often, especially is they're over 30 or so, appear to be aloof or cold or unapproachable.¿ But they're not.¿ If you have an approach --meaning if you have the good sense, insight and intelligence to look beyond their looks into what they actually LOOK like they¿"might be," -- you can get one of these women.¿ But, if all you can do when you see a beautiful woman is¿say to yourself "WOW" and get a boner and let that boner's head¿decide what you'll say to the woman--you ain't gonna get anywhere with that "broad."
In summary:¿ If a woman is so damn gorgeous that when you look at her across a room all you can think of is how gorgeous she is--and you can't come up with any other ideas about who or what she might be and think and feel except gorgeous--give her a break.¿ Leave her alone.¿ She ain't for you.¿ She is so far beyond you, you might as well be road kill her automobile tires have just run over after 3,786 other automobile tires ran over it.¿
Hope the above gives you some insight into why beautiful women up to the age of 45 or so may still be single.¿¿No offense intented here, Dannyspl.¿ I'm just telling it to you as I know it.¿ If you see a beautiful woman¿who makes you think "Boy, I'd like to boink her," and you can't think of any other reason to approach her and start a conversation, then you're better off NOT approaching her, because if you do approach her with the¿singular attitude that¿"You're beautiful and I'd really like to get to know you," you're going to get your nuts crushed faster than a lone pine tree in an acre wide empty field is going get hit by lightning in a state-wide thunderstorm.
Unless, or course, the gorgeous broad is a hooker,¿in which cas she's¿going take your money....
So, pal, go forth with this motto¿in mind:¿ Beautiful women are people too.¿ Keep that¿right up there in the forefront of your thinking and you'll find¿and connect with the exceptionally beautiful woman you're looking for.

For myself, I have been divorced almost 4 years, and while I have met some great guys... several of them at my age, want to have their cake and eat it too, if you know what I mean. I definetly love to have fun in life and embrace it entirely, but I can't support dishonest ways. I know there are men who have figured it out..how to have a great relationship..but there are still some who are wandering around lost a bit seeing this and that woman.
Now, for me, I went back and got a doctorate.¿I started it while¿I was getting a divorce. It took 3 years and then I had a daughter who was kind of going¿down a dangerous road, so this was all overwhelming a bit....and I was cranky....yep, for sure....I am sure these things were not appealing to any man.
I just had my first boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. Only lasted 6 months, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would still be with him if he could communicate openly and honestly. He admitted this was tough for him. I won't go into further details, but I felt like I would be banging my head against the wall in the near future due to frustration.
Guys, I love you, but I draw the line on the above things....

The Way I Feel
There's no chill and yet I shiver
there's no flame and yet I burn
I'm not sure what I'm afraid of
and yet I'm trembling.
There's no storm yet I hear thunder
and I'm breathless while I wander
weak one moment then the next I'm fine
I feel as if I'm falling every time I close my eyes
and flowing through my body is a river of surprise
feelings are awakeing I hardly recognize as mine.
What are all these new sensations
what's the secret they reveal
I'm not sure I understand but I like the way I feel.
Oh, why is it that every time I close my eyes he's there
the water shining on his skin, the sunlught in his hair
and all the while I'm thinking things that I can never share with him.
I'm a bundle of confusion, yet it has a strange appeal
did it all begin with him and the way he makes me feel.
I like the way he makes me feel.

Oregon Lawsuit Filed: Wright Conserve Hip Implant Caused Metal Poisoning
- Ennis & Ennis
12/09/2011 - Christine Minton and her husband Michael have filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon against Wright Medical. The Mintons are alleging that the Wright Conserve Hip System caused her to suffer metal blood poisoning and permanent injury. Minton also accuses Wright Medical of failing to properly test the Wright Conserve Hip replacement device, as well as manufacturing and selling the defective device.
Minton received the Wright Conserve Hip in February 2007, after which, the lawsuit says, she suffered metallosis a form of toxic blood poisoning caused by the device shedding chromium and cobalt particles into her body.
All-metal hip implants are made with an acetabular cup and ball made of chromium and cobalt. As the joints grind against each other as the recipient walks and moves dangerous amounts of metal debris are shed into patients' bloodstreams. This can lead to tissue damage, premature device failure, the need for revision surgery, and additional health problems.
In May of this year, the FDA requested that manufacturers of metal-on-metal hip replacement devices, like the Wright Conserve Hip replacement device, obtain more information about the level of metal shed by the devices, how dangerous shedding is, and to define metallosis side effects.
The Wright Conserve Hip device was approved by the FDA through the 510(k) fast track program, which allowed Wright Medical to show the device was similar to a product already approved and on the market, instead of having to perform the extensive safety testing required through the normal approval process.
If you or a loved one have suffered or been injured from a defective Wright Medical Conserve Plus Hip Implant or needed a hip implant revision you may be entitled to compensation. Contact the Wright Medical hip Implant attorneys of Ennis & Ennis today for a free confidential case evaluation. Our on staff nurse and lawyers are standing by to answer any questions you may have regarding the Wright Medical Conserve Hip Implants, a possible Wright Medical Hip Implant class action lawsuit, or any other type of defective hip implant litigation.

Nasty tone from blackouts during palm mutes

actually the harmonic is the 3.2 fret harmonic, which on the E string is a B, two octaves above the B I'm playing on the A string. It makes sense that the B would induce a harmonic of the same note, but I'm a little baffled it can sound through my mute. The harder I press my palm mute the strings, the more audible it becomes. My palm is slightly off the bridge, nowhere near the fulcrum position. It should kill everything.
I can only guess that a lower frequency vibration requires more amplitude which my mute destroys, but a higher frequency vibration requires less amplitude, which allows it cut through. This may explain why I'm getting the 3.2 harmonic rather than the 7th fret harmonic, which is also a B but an octave lower.
Here's another piece to the puzzle. The room I usually play in has a node (or anti-node?) that causes B notes to create a resonant peak. I thought my monitors were garbage at first, but it's definitely just the room. I get the ringing harmonic when I'm in headphones and have the monitors off, so the only resonance from the room would have to come from the acoustic noise from the guitar, which shouldn't be enough to cause any feedback, especially with a mute. I feel like the induction is coming from the vibration of the guitar itself. Nonetheless, I need to test this in another room just to be 100%.

Guess it was meant to be. When my new STM Link Shoulder Bag arrived, I thought it was going to be the graphite color I had requested. I don't own a single bag that is not black or dark grey.
So I was surprised to open the package and find a bright red bag. Don't think I have ever owned a red bag, maybe when I was a school kid too long ago to remember.
I had planned to use the Link bag to carry my new Kindle on a trip to Pamplona, Spain. Thought I would read a few books on my Kindle on the long flight to Spain and the four layovers in airports.
Then in Spain, I would leave the Kindle in my hotel room and use the bag to carry my camera, notebook, cell phone and other stuff. So I loaded up the neon red bag anyway. Everything did fit quite nicely.
The bag is well designed which is not surprising. Founded in 1998, the Australian bag and case designer STM is known for creating thoughtful designs that really work.
The Link is part of STM's new Annex collection. The STM website says the Annex line was created "for a more urban, fashion-oriented customer, while remaining organized and protective of daily and digital gear."
The Link was designed to carry just about any 10-inch tablet with room for additional items in various organizational pockets. After I tucked in my tablet and charging cord, there was still room for a wallet, business cards, bit of paperwork, candy and other important stuff.
The bag is equipped with a magnetic closure drop pocket for easy access to keys or phone and a quick cam-adjust shoulder strap for cross body and shoulder carry. It also has a handle which I used quite often to move the bag about or to loop it over my chest.
I love the strap. It is wide and comfortable and stays in place. I usually wear bags in a cross body style, especially when I'm working as I would be in Spain. I'm going to Pamplona to cover the annual San Fermin Fiesta, better known as the Running of the Bulls. The event was made famous by Ernest Hemingway in his 1926 novel, "The Sun Also Rises."
And when I arrived in Pamplona, I saw a big advantage to that unexpected red bag. I was quite in style. The colors of San Fermin are red and white – mostly white pants and white shirts, red neckerchiefs and red bags. So I fit right in.
The bag is made of water resistant 320 D brushed poly main fabric with a reinforced bottom fabric. That is important because although My Fair Lady might say that "the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain," we know that pop-up showers can happen any old time, sometimes in the most inconvenient places. And the bottom of a bag is often what gets the most wear and tear so I was pleased to see that the Link bottom is reinforced and sturdy.
The main compartment of the bag is lined with soft nylex and high density foam to protect my gear. It has a soft front lined pocket for easy access to my cell phone. There is also a pocket for pens, keys, business cards and other items.
A back slip pocket was a handy place for my notebook. And the large super light aluminum zippers are said to be self repairing. The zippers certainly are easy to use and the pulls are easy to find. The zipper pulls aren't some little wimpy things. They are a good size and have a red silky cord loop around them for even simpler use.
So here's what my bag and I discovered at my first running of the bulls.
The co-author of the guidebook "How to Survive the Bulls of Pamplona" was gored in the thigh by a bull and rushed to the hospital for surgery.
One-eyed matador Juan Jose Padilla thrilled fans with his display of grace and bravery in the bullfight arena. The 41 year old lost his left eye three years ago when gored by a bull and had to learn to be a bullfighter all over again.
Charlie Sheen was partying at the same hotel where Ernest Hemingway liked to stay.
And all of that was just a scant scattering of what went on during my first day at the annual San Fermin Fiesta in honor of the patron saint of Navarre in Northern Spain. No wonder it is famed as "the most dangerous party on Earth." San Fermin lasts an exciting eight days in July.
Before I saw the popular Spanish event in person, I had certainly heard news reports about the dangerous running and the foolhardy runners who are injured every year. Since records began in 1923, 15 people have died running with the bulls and every year there are dozens of injuries.
I was fully aware of the controversy surrounding the festival, which reportedly glamorizes the tradition of running the bulls through the narrow ancient streets of Pamplona to the arena where the massive animals meet their death at the hands of matadors.
For more than 400 years, the bulls had been running in Pamplona for a very practical reason – to get them from the stockyard to the bullring. Hemingway and his book put a spotlight on the fiesta and one cabbie did grumble to me that he wished Hemingway had stayed home in America. Hemingway first visited in 1923. His last visit was in 1959, two years before he took his own life with his favorite shotgun.
I stood on a balcony to watch three of the runnings. The six, half-ton raging bulls are fast and their menacing horns come terribly close to the runners. Heck, I think the thousands of runners are dangerous enough. In the narrow street, there is no place to escape. No doors to duck into. No fences to climb to safely. The street is shut down before the run with only runners and officials allowed on it – until the bulls make their mad dash.
The red Link bag stayed safely strapped across my chest. It was far more practical than the bigger black camera bag I usually carry for such trips. I can easily see why the Link is such a popular accessory. It is lightweight, comfortable and – even in some instances – a conversation starter.
Where, several people asked me, did I get such an appropriate fiesta bag? From STM, I answered, but never added that the red color they so admired was not by choice. As I said, it must have been meant to be.

On this Veterans Day, 2011, I would like to extend my heartfelt greetings and sentiments to those I served with in the Air Force during my enlistment between 1968 and 1972 and to all my veteran brothers and sisters in all the branches of service to our country.
I ask God to watch over and protect those servicemen and servicewomen who have been placed in harms way and that they will come home soon.
I would ask that everyone take a minute or two on this day to pay homage and gratitude to all of those who have served in the Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country so that it remains free as it is today. May God bless them and their families who were left behind. We are all indebted to you and you are not and will not be forgotten.

The American
George Clooney is a high-profile assassin with a conscience in this hard-hitting mystery. When the named character arrives in a small European town for his 'last' job, things go awry after he meets up with a beautiful woman who may or may not end up being his target. Sheerly due to the consistent quality of the work of both director Anton Corbijn and Clooney as an actor, this one is a definite See It!!
Robert Rodriguez's immortal Grindhouse faux-trailer received such praise and fan attention that the tale has now come full circle to stand as a gloriously shameless tribute to the exploitation B-movie of old. Danny Trejo (along with a star-studded cast: Steven Seagal, Cheech Marin, others) stars as the titular renegade Mexican assassin turned day-laborer who is forced to pick his…umm… 'sword' back up after being betrayed by a former client. While there will be nothing but blood, violence, and sex driving this one, it's likely to still be an incredibly well-made societal tribute and commentary.
See It!!
Going the Distance
Justin Long and Drew Barrymore star in this romantic comedy about two peeps who fall for each other—the only problem? They live on opposite seaboards… despite both of their commitment issues and fear of flying solo in life, the happy couple commits to a long distance relationship—fluffy and raunchy laughs are sure to follow.
Skip It!!
The Winning Season
A funny/feel-good comedy about a washed up wannabe (Sam Rockwell) who is asked—out of sheer desperation on the part of the school principal—to coach a girl's varsity basketball team. We've all seen this one before in another setting and/or sport film, so there's really not any reason to pay for it again, is there?
Skip It!!
My Dog Tulip
This free-hand, comic-style animated film tells the warm story of an elderly English bachelor who stumbles upon—or is perhaps found by—a lively German-shepherd who quickly becomes the man's best friend. Christopher Plummer and Isabella Rossellini offer their voice talents to this unique and touching story of love and companionship beyond the bounds of humanity.
See It!!
El principe de Broadway (Prince of Broadway)
This Argentinian-produced urban drama follows a New York City street hustler whose world and plans are turned upside down when a former girlfriend drops off a young child—whom she claims belongs to our hero—and splits. As Lucky (the hustler) bonds with Prince (the baby boy), a love that blurs racial and social lines begins to bloom; a powerful, important film for all to see.
See It!!
Last Train Home
This strong documentary chronicles the annual trip back to their homelands of over 130 million Chinese factory and migrant workers. Focusing on the family of one such 15 year old girl, the film aims to provide a relevant and touching look into a society that is segmented by growth and change, as well as by family and tradition.
Rent It!!
S?nqi?ng P?i'àn J?ngqí (A Woman, A Gun, and a Noodle Shop)
Zhang Yimou's remake of the Cohen brothers' debut film Blood Simple sees the story moved from Texas to a remote Chinese province where a noodle shop owner betrays her elderly husband by starting a romance with another man her own age; when the burned patriarch finds out, he hires an assassin to kill both the wife and her lover. A tongue in cheek dramedy that has been described as significantly different from Yimou's other films, but still just as poignant.
Rent It!!
White Wedding
A South African import comedy telling the story of two best friends who are on a road trip en route to one of their weddings; after picking up a hitcher, breaking down, and having to ask for a ride themselves from a variety of characters, hopefully the boys will make it in time for the big day to go off without a hitch.
Rent It!!
As if one vampire spoof wasn't enough this year, he comes another—albeit this offering is a more musically inclined, washed-up rock-star (i.e. Iggy Pop and Alice Cooper) driven tale. One has to wonder—is the title just a clever allusion to that requisite, nourishment-gaining act of the undead, or did the filmmakers here just know from the outset that their 'film' [….] was going to be this bad?
Skip It!!

It was front row for Alice In Chains at The Landmark Theater in Syracuse, NY last night as the iconic rockers played a set list of hits spanning their career. Opening act Monster Truck put on a solid set and definitely gained some new fans. Overheard were some comparisons to Soundgarden. They did have that vibe. The night saw a packed house of 20-somethings and up in a good mood as the crowd waited for Alice In Chains. A lot of milling around the lobby and packed beer lines made walking in interesting if you were not partaking of the brews, but people were polite and made way with no complaints. Once the house lights went down, the full house enthusiastically greeted the band as they opened with the classic 'Them Bones' from the bands second album, 1992's "Dirt." Loud roars greeted guitarist Jerry Cantrell as he put on a flawless performance and his superb guitar prowess was in full display. Cantrell along with bassist Mike Inez and drummer Sean Kinney pounded out the hits with power and talent as vocalist William DuVall strutted, posed, and encouraged the crowd to get louder throughout the set.
DuVall and Cantrell do a masterful job at the dual vocal work that became part of the Alice In Chains brand with Cantrell and the iconic Layne Staley. Every chainhead out there keeps him in memory but AIC goes on strong with DuVall. He plays some guitar too although the main axe is wielded masterfully by Cantrell. I get people having issues with band changes, but in this case, there is no going back to the original so people making that comparison need to get a grip and enjoy. End of story.
"Man In The Box" and the one tune I had to hear "We Die Young" had the building shaking and fans abusing their vocal chords. The band threw in newer songs "Check My Brain" and "Choke" that blended perfectly with the classics. The volume was cranked, but not deafening unless you usually go to folk-acoustic shows, then I can understand the complaints. AIC continues to rock on loud and proud; true rock fans and writers alike loved every second of the show. The band had some fun with the crowd with an impromptu few seconds of a tune by'The Doors' that ended mercifully as the band and fans all laughed. Cantrell introduced the band and pushed for more noise between songs. He is not the long-haired jump around guy of earlier days, but he owns the stage with very subtle work on the guitar that I hadn't noticed before and a way of gazing at the crowd as a whole then suddenly locking eyes with someone and giving them a nod.
If you missed the band then you missed out on a great show with an energetic crowd. If you are an Alice In Chains fan, then get the bands newer albums into your library as they belong right next to the classics. Alice In Chains rocked the house.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carrie my second one- saves money M clothes dry fast, I use it indoors in winter too to save on my gas bills. When not in use it stores out of the way. Very lightweight but sturdy. June 13, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by SpecialKayGT Cheap-ish This drying rack is called "Delux" on the packaging, but that's an overstatement. It is rickety and not even close to being level. It wobbles considerably from side to side, even when weighted down with my bathroom rug. It would take much more than a slip of paper under the foot to keep it steady. It still performs its role as a drying rack, but there's nothing fancy or special about it. June 22, 2013

Going concern
Going concern is a term used to denote a company that has sufficient means to function for the foreseeable future.
Expanded Definition
While the term itself is a positive one, the term going concern is usually only encountered when there is a problem with a company. If a publicly traded company has discovered that there is a significant risk to ability to survive (e.g. lack of funds, impending government regulation, pending litigation etc.) it is required to disclose the risk it may go bankrupt to investors in its SEC filings. This is known as a going concern warning. Obviously a going concern warning is a huge red flag for would be investors.

Currently, this site is ad-free, partly because ads are a hassle and an eyesore (the LocalinLowell.com graphic on the front page isn't an ad, it's my other unpaid project), and partly because I have no idea if anyone would want to advertise on my little blog, which has limited circulation (which it should).
As a self-employed person, I spend a lot of time doing my own marketing and accounting, not to mention the actual graphic design work for which I get paid. This blog is my passion, but it doesn't pay the bills, and I am often spending valuable time away from my business reading what's out there in the news and blogosphere, and then more time writing. I know it sounds like I'm asking for donations to do what I want to do anyway…but like everyone, the rent comes due, and I'm left feeling like maybe my hobby is taking over my career.
Now, I don't assume you find what I'm writing about valuable, cogent, comprehensive, or useful, but if you by chance do, and you aren't broke (if you are, please please do not send me any money), then consider donating any amount you feel it's worth. (Hey, if that's only $1.00, that's great!) I'll continue to do what I do, I promise, so don't feel obligated.
One last thing. Any money I take in via this website is not for a charity, it would be a for-profit part of my business. So it's not tax-deductible.
Thanks for reading, and for considering donating!
