Hello burners, decompressers, community members and friends,
Every year around this time a new group of amazing, creative individuals assembles ad-hoc with the goal of planning and executing the Boston Decompression event sometime in the fall. The Boston decom cycle is beginning anew, however this year due to circumstances well outside of our control we are in need of a new venue. To find this new venue, we need your help! We need ideas, places and venues to look into and scout. There are many people in this extended community that are involved with event production and/or with places and venues which hold events in and around the city. If you have any knowledge, experience or familiarity in this area, we especially need your help!
Please consider joining a meeting to discuss and brainstorm about ideas for a new decompression venue next Thursday, July 14th at 7:30 PM. Please come! The more people we can get to join minds and focus on this challenge, the better chance we have to find a great venue that can facilitate all of the wonderful things we enjoy about decompression!
WHEN: Thursday, July 14th @ 7:30 PM
WHERE: Central Somerville location. Address will be emailed to RSVP'd attendees
WHAT: Strategize and brainstorm to find a new Boston decom venue.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who came out to Boston Decompression 2015: Mimesis and also thank everyone who was involved in making this event the huge success that it was! It was an incredible night filled with joy and laughter, music and art, creativity and community. So many people stepped up to contribute their art, share a performance and volunteer their time and energy to make Mimesis happen. All of that hard work was reflected back in one truly amazing night! Thank you all so so much!
As you can imagine, planning an event like this involves many different artists, various performers, contributors of all kinds, and volunteers; it takes a lot of time and organizing effort. Typically a group assembles anew in June to begin planning the Boston Decompression event, and those planning organizers work through the summer and fall, right up to the event date and beyond. A good number of creative and courageous people are involved in this planning effort. They are dedicated, hard working and eminently capable people who volunteer their time, energy and personal skill sets to make Boston Decompression happen. But as Boston Decompression grows in size and complexity there is always room for more planning help and fresh ideas. So if you think you'd be interested in stepping up to fill a planning role for the next Boston Decompression event, we would love to have you on the planning committee! Please fill out your name and email in this linked form and we will be sure to email you around June of next year to let you know when and where the first planning meeting will take place so that you can join and get involved from the start!
In the next week we will be sending out a link to a survey to gather more info on this year's Decom, this will help us as we plan future events. Please respond when you you receive the email or see the link on Facebook. Your thoughts and opinions will help us immensely.
Ok, until next year, when we endeavor to do this all again!

We first became aware of a potential counterfeit operation when Homeland Security tipped us off to some strange online activity originating out of Cuba. After having an individual send us an authentication photo we realized we were dealing with a real fraud. However, it wasn't until we got another confirmed case, this time right in the metro-Boston area involving a counterfeit ticket in the possession of a cat, that we realized we may have a much bigger problem on our hands. We need your photos to help us determine the size and scale of this counterfeit-imposter operation, so please send us your photo!
Photo identification of these first two confirmed imposters can be seen at the following link on our website, and additional photos sent to us will be posted there. Please take a look, as these photos may help you in determining the true originals from the inauthentic as we go forward:
Please get your tickets to Mimesis NOW, and beware of imitations and impostors!

noun: mimesis
Mimesis is a natural and cultural phenomena. It is a duality: primary and duplicate, authentic and replica, original and remix, real and more real? In ancient times Aristotle and Plato argued about Mimesis, specifically as it relates to Art as Imitation. In our modern Internet age we may find ourselves cultivating online dopplegangers – Identity as Imitation - this is cultural Mimesis in action. A phenomena as adept in our digital world as the natural world.
Much of Burner culture tends to acculturate those who don't know or misunderstand what occurs on the playa. Black rock city is a temporal zone with a permanence in hearts and minds. This change leads us to create our own representations of these memories beyond photos, with regional events and actions. We duplicate Burning Man culture and effect a social wave of radical creativity and acceptance. Contradicting literary scholar of his day, Oscar Wilde, who wrote – "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life". Which do you prefer the real or the unreal? Has today's technology made them virtually interchangeable? Do we create anew or are we continuously recreating?
Join us on Saturday November 7th, 2015, as we explore the abstract and the concrete. Come as you are, or as someone who is something else… bring art, music, talk. Let's create a commotion - a night of situations that move our feet and our souls – let's make the moment art.
Calls for Art, Music, Performance, Volunteering and involvement of so many different kinds will be rolling out shortly! Ticket sales will open on October 7th, $20 online, $30 at the door. Please stay tuned to these channels!

Due to the success of last year's Boston Decompression, The Lost City, we are happy to announce that Boston Decompression will again be offering art grants! Last year, we were able to help fund 8 unique interactive art projects that appeared at The Lost City. The total funds contributed to art grants in 2014 were close to $3,000. We are so excited and happy to be able to give back and support art in this community again in 2015!
If you would like to apply for a grant to fund materials and costs to bring a new or existing project or performance to Boston Decompression in 2015, please fill out the online application form below with the details of your proposal. The grants committee will be considering proposals for new as well as existing works of interactive visual and performance art in any medium. Work that is responsive to this year's theme (which will be announced very soon) or helps to transform the space will be given priority consideration. Grants can be up to $500 and will primarily fund the materials and consumables costs for artwork and performance and, potentially, transportation costs for art coming from outside the Boston area. (The Decompression Art Committee will work with Boston area artists to arrange shared transportation for local projects.)
Here is the timeline for the art grants process:
Art Grant Submissions Open - Now!
Art Grant Submissions Due - Thursday, September 17th, by 11:59 PM.
Art Grant Recipients Notified of Their Selection - Friday, September 25th, at noon.
Following the return of the signed Grant Contract, the first 75% of granted funds is paid out over - Saturday, September 26th through Saturday, October 3rd.
Complete the funded project for Boston Decompression 2015 - Saturday, November 7th!
After successful presentation of the project at Decompression, and the grantee has provided documentation of the project at Decompression, the remaining 25% of grant funds will be disbursed - by Saturday, November 21st, 2015.
If you are the recipient of an art grant, you will receive 75-percent of your grant amount upon confirmation and return of the signed contract. Funds will be transferred to the recipient via Paypal or check. The remaining 25-percent of the grant amount will be delivered to the recipient within two weeks of the 2015 Decompression event in which the funded project has been featured and/or contributed, pending documentation of the grant-funded project.
Online Art Grant Submission Application:
Please note, this form is intended only for applying for an art grant. A general "Call for Art" and participation will be announced around the second week of September. There will be a venue visit and walkthrough opportunity in September.

Hetero Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father
posted by November 10 at 13:00 PMon
Twelve-year-old Ismael Nicholas Bugarin could barely stand as he and his two little sisters ran to a neighbor's house for help Saturday evening, knife wounds on their faces and necks.
Carlos Zavala opened the door when he heard the children banging and yelling. Ismael, known as Nick, collapsed into Zavala's arms. He had a broad slash across his throat, and a 12-inch knife fell from his sweater, Zavala said.
Nick died in Zavala's home in the Valley View Mobile Home Park in Dodge Center, about 20 miles west of Rochester. Next door, the children's mother, Teresa Bugarin, 27, soon would be found dead. Her husband, Ismael Bugarin, 33, was found alive with apparent stab wounds…. When the children burst in on Saturday night, Nick's sisters, 8-year-old Jasmine and 6-year-old Sabrina, clung to Castellanos. One had a slash on her cheek, the other a cut under her chin.
When Castellanos asked them what had happened, the girls cried, "My dad! My dad!"


text: Beaches STUDY: 'Shark Week' Exaggerates Danger, Could Undermine Conservation Efforts By Rebecca Martinez • Jul 5, 2015 Farragutful / Wikipedia The Discovery Channel's Shark Week marathon starts this week. But UNC Communications researchers say the footage showing sharks acting like vicious predators can be misleading. Suzannah Evans and Jessica Gall Myrick co-authored a study of people's responses to Shark Week footage. Evans, a doctoral candidate, says they found that viewers assumed they were more likely to be attacked by a shark than they really are. Here's How To Find The Closest NC Beach When You're On The Go By Charlie Shelton • Jul 1, 2015 DearEdward / Wikimedia Commons You're driving down Highway 58 on Emerald Isle near Atlantic Beach. The air conditioner in your car just broke, you can only pick up one AM radio station, and the kids in the backseat are halfway through "99 Bottles of Root Beer on the Wall." You need to find a beach and quick. Problematic Section Of NC-12 Will Have Beach Widened By WUNC News • Jul 9, 2014 NCDOT / facebook.com The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a $20.3 million contract for beach re-nourishment just north of Rodanthe. The contract is going to the same Illinois dredging company that re-nourished the beach in Nags Head just before Hurricane Irene hit the area in 2011, Great Lakes Dredge and Dock, of Illinois. Cape Hatteras Recognized As Top 10 Beach, 2014 By Carol Jackson • May 24, 2014 Alistair Nicol / Flickr/Creative Commons Cape Hatteras has been ranked as the sixth best beach in the nation by a leading beach expert, Dr. Stephen Leatherman ("Dr. Beach") of Florida International University. Here's the list: Park Service Hustles To Staff Cape Hatteras Seashore With Lifeguards By Rebecca Martinez • Apr 14, 2014 Creative Commons The National Parks Service is trying to keep at least a few lifeguards on the Cape Hatteras Seashore this summer. Federal officials cut the $200,000 program that staffed three beaches seven days a week during the summer. Now, Outer Banks Group Superintendent Barclay Trimble said he wants lifeguard service contractors to offer bids that can accommodate a tighter budget. 8 Degree Windchill? Time To Go Paddleboarding By Carol Jackson • Jan 7, 2014 Coastal Urge On the very first "Cold Stroke Classic" in Wrightsville Beach, NC, it was cold. Very cold. It was January after all. One of the participants remembers it this way: "Two people actually wore survival suits. Most wore wetsuits with jackets over them. It was around freezing, but still, some people acted like this was some kind of nutty Polar Bear Club dare." Turns out, no matter the outside temperature, it's actually not so cold when you stand on a board in the ocean and work your muscles as hard as you can, paddle-racing seven miles around an island. Who knew? Rip Currents Claim Seven Lives Over 4th of July Weekend By Catherine Brand • Jul 11, 2013 James Albright via Flickr, Creative Commons Dangerous rip currents off the Carolina coast are to blame for the deaths of seven people over the 4th of July holiday. That number is double the average number of rip current deaths in a year. Community leaders are calling the tragedies a wake-up call and are trying to find ways to prevent future drownings. Putting signs and red flags up at various beach access points is one of several ideas, says Anthony Marzano, the director of emergency services in Brunswick County, where four of the deaths took place. New Smartphone App Provides Guide To Outer Banks Beaches By Laura Candler • Jul 5, 2013 Inductice Ideas LTD Have you ever visited the North Carolina coast only to have a hard time finding the right public beach access? That's the situation that Sara Brubaker found herself in when she moved to the Outer Banks three years ago. So Brubaker got in touch with the app development company Inductive Ideas LTD to find a solution to the problem. The result is a new smartphone app called Take Me to the Beach, a guide to Outer Banks beaches that provides information about public access, beach amenities, lifeguards, and distances from beaches to food and drink. Report: North Carolina Beach Water Quality Among The Nation's Best By Gurnal Scott • Jun 26, 2013 libby via flickr, Creative Commons Environmental advocates say North Carolina's beaches fared well in their latest water quality study. The Natural Resources Defense Council's 2012 "Testing The Waters" report examined many of the nation's beaches for levels of pollution. NRDC researchers found that two percent of samples from North Carolina beaches registered higher than the state's maximum bacterial limit. Jon Devine, a senior attorney with the NRDC, says states like North Carolina are taking steps to stop bacterial contamination. State Officials Warn Of Dangerous Rip Currents By Brent Wolfe & Avery Kleinman • Jun 10, 2013 Billy Hathorn, Creative Commons Safety officials on the coast are trying to make beachgoers more aware of rip currents. Those are the narrow channels of waves that can pull swimmers dangerously far offshore. Signs along North Carolina's coastline advise visitors to 'Break the Grip of the Rip.' Spencer Rogers is with the governmental research organization North Carolina Sea Grant. He estimates that rip currents account for 80 percent of drowning and says the currents happen almost every day on North Carolina beaches, but are not always dangerous. Pages1 2 next › last »

Baffert-trained War Academy favorite at Arkansas Derby
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. -- Trainer Bob Baffert hopes to once again capture an important race at Oaklawn Park today when he sends out favorite War Academy in the $1 million Arkansas Derby.
A Baffert-trained colt, Bodemeister, won the Kentucky Derby prep race last year, and the Californian guided horses to three straight wins at Oaklawn's Rebel Stakes before D. Wayne Lukas' Will Take Charge snapped that streak last month.
War Academy, who has only had three starts this year, is one of two Baffert horses in today's race. War Academy was made a 2-1 favorite after drawing the second gate Wednesday, and Den's Legacy is at 6-1 from the fifth gate.
Lukas' Oxbow was made a 5-2 choice.

Former standout blocker Kyle Turley, who hasn't played in a game since a 2003 playoff loss because of severe back problems, is poised to make his NFL comeback.
Turley, 30, has reached an agreement in principle with the Kansas City Chiefs on a multiyear contract, a source close to him confirmed Sunday afternoon, but financial details of the deal were not immediately available. The seven-year veteran must still pass a physical examination for the Chiefs, which is scheduled for Monday, and which figures to be extensive given his medical background.
If he passes the physical, Turley will sign and begin working out with the Chiefs this week.
In a surprising twist, Turley, who had originally planned to return as a tight end, a position he has never played at the NFL level, is expected to play tackle for the Chiefs. Team officials have discussed with him returning to his old right tackle spot, where he could challenge for a starting job. The Chiefs might still deploy Turley as a tight end in short-yardage situations.
The other candidates at right tackle include John Welbourn, Kevin Sampson and Jordan Black.
Whether Turley can return to tackle, and at his previous performance level -- when he was regarded as one of the NFL's best strong-side blockers -- might be a factor of how much he weighs now. His typical playing weight was 309 pounds, but it is believed Turley dropped 40-50 pounds to relieve some of the stress on his back, and might actually have to gain some weight back to be effective again.
Last month, Turley participated in a Miami Dolphins' minicamp as an unsigned invitee. He also worked out for the Chiefs and, in recent days, drew interest from the Denver Broncos as well.
After two years away from the game, the former first-round draft choice, who missed only one regular-season contest before his back woes sidelined him, was determined to get back into the league.
The former San Diego State star was released by the Rams in June 2005 after he failed a team-administered physical examination. Turley missed the entire 2004 season when his back problem flared during training camp and he was placed on injured reserve.
Turley has been treated for more than two years now by Dr. Robert Watkins, a renowned Los Angeles back specialist who performed surgery on a herniated disc in March 2004. He reinjured his back four months later and eschewed a second surgery, preferring instead to go through a long rehabilitation that included shedding considerable weight.
During his rehabilitation, Turley originally suggested that he might return to the league as a defensive end. He had decided, it seemed, that he needed to play a position which placed fewer demands on his back, and at which he did not need to carry as much bulk.
Throughout his recovery, Turley has been adamant he would not retire, and remained optimistic that he could someday return to football.
His last game action came Jan. 10, 2004, when the Rams lost to the Carolina Panthers in double overtime of a divisional round playoff game. Turley played in all 16 regular-season games in 2003. Over six years, Turley appeared in 95 regular-season games, all of them as a starter.
The seventh overall pick in the 1998 draft, Turley played six seasons with the New Orleans Saints, and then was traded to the Rams in the spring of 2003.

Well, I had a good birthday.
My parents got me a mini digital video recorder, it can record up to 30 minutes, and it has a USB connection right on it, so it's pretty cool. Chilled out at their place for most of the day, watching tv. Then my dad and I went to go check on my sister's car after she got out of work, the check engine light is coming on again....not cool, so we headed back to parents' house and watched the rest of the chicago and new orleans game then went back home. My sister got me Star Fox Command and 'The Ringer' dvd. SFC is tough. I don't remember star fox on super nintendo being that hard, it's nice that there's a strategic element to the game though.
I'm thinking of walking or running another 2 miler tomorrow morning, but if it's raining I'll probably cancel that.
I think I made a healthy food move the other day by buying a 24 pack of water instead of two 2 liters of soda, and pretzels instead of chips?

New building gives museum-goers a treat
Published: Sunday, April 11, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 9, 2010 at 12:18 a.m.
RALEIGH -- The North Carolina Museum of Art's new building marries light and white in a way that designers say shows off the works to their best advantage, leaving nothing to color visitors' view of the art.
The 127,000-square-foot expansion opens to the public April 24, but reporters got to see the approximately 750 works in their new home recently. The lightness and airiness of the museum are meant to emphasize the art, yet are as important to the building as the works themselves.
"We wanted to push it to the limit," Dan Gottlieb, the museum's director of planning and design, said of the lack of color.
If the design had included color on any wall, "we would have been compromising the singular notion of having this as an experience of light and art. ... This building is about making a pure experience; you're bringing natural light and the absence of color so that all that's left is the art work."
Even the museum's curator of European art -- who was accustomed to seeing Old Masters hanging on deeply colored walls and was skeptical of the all-white concept -- said he accepted the whiteness.
"I tell you, when you see them here, when you see the daylight coming in from the side, these pictures sing, and they look so different," curator David Steel said. "It's a different way of experiencing this collection. Even for me as a curator, who has lived with these pictures for more than 25 years."
New York-based architects Thomas Phifer and Partners designed the building, using light in a way that designers say has never been seen in a museum. The design includes protective elements such as ultraviolet filters, louvers and three layers of curtains. Sensors tell shades to drop when the sunlight is too bright.
The open floor plan -- a sculpture hall serves as an axis from which 40 exhibition galleries feed -- allow the museum to display casts of sculptures by Auguste Rodin in the middle of the floor, rather than up against the wall. The museum has more than 30 Rodin casts, some inside the building and others in a courtyard off the Rodin gallery and accessible from that gallery.
The design has allowed the museum to exhibit new large works -- such as an 18-foot-by-25-foot contemporary piece by El Anatsui of Nigeria, made of bottle caps and pieces of liquor packaging -- and small, older works, such as "Triumph of Chastity," from the workshop of Apollonia di Giovanni.

I've read on some wikis that if you mix two pharmaceutical products, you can create a random drug. But I can't figure out how to mix them. When I'm in my house I see the option to "Use" the Pharmaceutical product, but that shows up even if I only have one, and I believe all that will do is make me take it.
You can't take pharmaceutical products, only mix them. If you have two, click Use to combine the two pharmaceutical products. If you try it with one, nothing will happen.
Yes, you must have two Pharms. Also remember that when you mix the Pharms, you don't always get a random drug, and that if you have the Labratory then it improves your chances of a getting a better drug.

Page 2
Dick Vermeil led UCLA to a Rose Bowl and its first Pac-8 Championship ever. He led the Eagles to an NFC title and the Rams to a Super Bowl victory. He has been named coach of the year on the high school, juco, NCAA and NFL levels. His comprehensive coaching achievements include some of the most significant awards on the mantel, but he's best known for wearing his heart on his sleeve.
Vermeil is a courageous risk taker -- 30 years ago in his NFL head coaching debut he held a citywide open tryout for a spot on Philadelphia's roster. He discovered and signed Vince Papale, the inspiration for this summer's blockbuster "Invincible."
Bold move.
Still, he's perceived as a tearful sap.
Vermeil is a native of Napa Valley with a penchant for fine wine, but he's as humble as the working-class city he represented for six years. He has a porterhouse steak named after him in South Philly, but he's about as tough as an expensive filet.
Handkerchief in hand, Page 2's Mary Buckheit sat down with Vermeil to discuss the Eagles, "Invincible," "Rocky" and raw emotion. She caught him before he'd seen the movie, so there was no weeping in tubs of popcorn to speak of. Here's what he had to say.
How would you rate Greg Kinnear's performance? Was it strange to be portrayed by a well-known actor?
Actually, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I have seen Greg in movies before and I'm anxious to see what it's like. My son worked on "Invincible" for four or five days so he was around the set to see Greg in action. He told me Greg did an outstanding job.
Passed the father-son test?
Yes, he did, in fact my son called me and his exact words were, "Dad, he nailed you." He said it will be scary for me to see someone else being me and doing it so well! That's a funny thought, huh? And I think my son was especially interested in what it would be like to see someone else playing his dad; he was very impressed. My son's known me for 49 years, so you can't fool him, he's been looking at me for a long time. (laughs)
So about the Vince Papale fairy tale, do you think an athletic guy who never played college football could ever make the NFL today?
I think maybe the hardest part of the whole thing would be getting an opportunity to play professional football at 30 years old. That's almost the most remarkable thing about the story -- Vince was 30.
And remarkably, you were willing to take on a 30-year-old. What did you see in him?
Well, it wasn't some great decision, he showed us talent. What you're looking for is a real sleeper, or a guy who can come in and make a contribution -- even if it's only at training camp -- with talent and an attitude that can get the players around him hungry and ready to play. Vince displayed great passion and the desire for an opportunity that he then made the very best of. As for his skill set, once he was given a chance to show it, he was athletic enough to be a wide receiver, but where he really excelled was as a fine punt-return and kickoff defender.
And that's right up your alley, you were the NFL's first special teams coach, right?
That's right, I was. So yes, I really appreciated Vince's talents, and I've always had a compassion for the free-agent-type kid. I've always tried to make sure that if we recognize somebody as having any kind of real talent at all, that we then must provide him with a real solid opportunity.
I'm all for equal opportunity, but as a rookie NFL coach, wasn't an open tryout a pretty bold move?
The idea did surprise some people, but I think overall the search was appreciated. People appreciated the attempt to find the best players. Sometimes the person with the loudest voice or the biggest pin can create an air of negativity, but overall, I think the reaction to an open tryout was positive ... overall.
How common were open tryouts then?
There were actually a number of teams that used to hold free-agent tryout camps. [Hall of Fame head coach] George Allen was actually the one that stimulated the idea in me when I worked for him [in the Los Angeles Rams organization]. In those days, it didn't take a lot of money, it was just time-consuming. Sometimes it was a lot of fun, and once in a while, you found a guy. There are a bunch of coaches who believe those guys are out there.
And in a year when Eagles draft picks weren't exactly blue-chippers, you have to get a little resourceful, right?
Yeah, we didn't have a first-, second- or third-round pick that year.
You had your work cut out for you when you came to Philly, huh, Coach?
Yea-ahh, for three years in a row, no first-, second- or third-round picks. Those weren't easy years. It was tough for everybody. You need numbers to run a good training camp. Gotta have numbers.
So you hold an open tryout and who do you find but a hard working, blue-collar Italian bartender who can run a 4.5 40? Could you have picked a more lovable guy for the people of Philadelphia to embrace?
Nope, he was the one. It was pretty incredible having him on the team. I loved it. "Rocky" had just been filmed in the city, and the people really identified Vince Papale with Rocky -- he was Sylvester Stallone -- Rocky was on our football team, a big Italian kid who could catch the ball and change direction real well. And he was 30 but he played like an excitable 16-year-old. We put him through all kinds of drills. Dick Corey, my wide receiver coach, and Ken Iman, my special teams coach, both liked him. We talked about it and thought, heck, we oughta sign the guy, so we sent him up to Jimmy Murray, our general manager, and Jimmy signed him right there. Before he left that day, he was signed to an Eagles contract. He was quite an athlete.
Who was the best athlete you ever coached?
I'd have to say Marshall Faulk.
Was there a solid football player that wasn't necessarily a naturally athletic guy?
Oh yeah, there were a bunch of those types. (pause) Gosh, I can't think of a guy off the top of my head, but there are certainly positions on the field that don't necessarily demand athleticism. I've had guys who weren't that coordinated, but, boy, could they play football. They were either big enough or tough enough to do the job. That's pretty common.
Who was the greatest football player you've ever had?
Well, first of all, when you talk about great football players, I think it's a description that is thrown around a little bit too much these days. We tend to put too many guys in that category. It diminishes the quality of the real great ones when you put too many in there. Wilbert Montgomery was a great football player. Priest Holmes is a great football player. Marshall Faulk is a great athlete and a great football player. Orlando Pace is a great athlete and football player. Harold Carmichael is great. Go all the way back to David "Deacon" Jones and Merlin Olsen -- these are really great players. Willie Roaf was a great football player, and Will Shields. Kurt Warner is a great football player -- what he did is just beyond expectations.
Which is a better comparison for Vince Papale, Rocky or Kurt Warner?
I tell you, Kurt's story is almost as extraordinary. Most teams wouldn't even give him a chance, wouldn't even give him a workout -- wouldn't even work him out! It's sad. I've always had great luck with free-agent kids, and I have a compassion for those types.
You're a compassionate guy.
Well, I can relate to young folks working their way up when given the opportunity. I have reason to believe in them because of successes like Vince and Kurt, and Herman Edwards, who was an undrafted free agent and look at him now. And I had another guy, a 30-year-old Marine that went to Bemidji State who we gave a shot and he ended up playing for us and doing well. There are other guys out there now, guys like Kurt and Vince, who will never get the chance. It's sad. I really feel for them.
You're known as being a very sentimental guy; much has been made of that trait, it almost defines you, what do you think about that?
We'll I've always been that way. I've always been on the emotional side; I have a hard time holding back my feelings. What I do to control it is not go that way in terms of what I'm talking about because I know that as soon as I start talking about something I'm very passionate about, it draws emotion out of me and I've embarrassed myself many times. I try to discipline myself by staying away from what I know gets me.
You say you've embarrassed yourself, but would you really want there to be an emotional disconnect between you and your work?
I've embarrassed myself many times, but hey, that's me, that's how I am, I've learned to live with it and if they don't like it, the hell with them. Grown men aren't supposed to cry! (laughs heartily) Aaaa-ny-way.
How we doing, are you all set?
One more question. What's Steak Vermeil?
Ha-ha. It's a porterhouse steak cooked medium rare with tons of garlic. There was an owner at this little restaurant in South Philly, his name was Cous, it was called Cous' Little Italy. I used to go there and eat all the time -- I'm half Italian, you know, so I was always in there -- great food, and Cous was a big Eagles fan and he named a steak after me. They still have it [at successor Villa di Roma].
You're a wine connoisseur; what are you drinking with that?
Nothing fancy. I've got a label called Jean Louis Vermeil Cabernet made by On The Edge Winery, a little, tiny family vineyard back home in Napa Valley. Steak and cab. Can't beat it.

My ex-Catholic mother always wore a scarf out-of-doors up until 1979 and we were from TEXAS!
Someone really ought to make a DVD highlighting all the ways the rightwingers have stuck their foot in their mouth the last 7 years. It could just win a best comedy or documentary award.
I totally agree with the spirit of this post, but I'd just like to point out that the last picture of Condi really looks photoshopped.
It is totally Photoshopped. It's a bad one at that.
So how many of these complainers would wear a speedo (or even shorts) to church on Sunday? Why not? In summer, when it's hot, wouldn't it be comfortable? What about a hawaiian shirt and flip-flops to a funeral, or sweats to a wedding? There's such a thing as dressing appropriately, and the unfamiliarity of a custom doesn't in itself make it oppressive. After all, it wasn't so long ago that women had to cover their ankles here. And which end of the political spectrum do you think fought to keep that "moral standard"?
There's a nuance to the way women feel about their dress in Islamic countries -- a nuance that's lost on many western observers -- particularly outside the psychotic theocracies of Saudi and Taliban Afghanistan and (actually to a significantly lesser extent) Iran. For all the times they may wish to dress a little more comfortably (going to beach isn't so much fun in a burka) there are times when women appreciate the camouflage: nobody knows you're fat in a burka, either, or can leer at your ass, and a scarf is nice if you're having a particularly bad hair day. Much like a power suit in the west, there's a respect that others automatically extend to a woman in conservative dress. For women accustomed to it, in a society where it is expected, going out without it feels like walking down the street in a bikini.
Besides, while it's an oppressive dicatoship that tolerates no political dissent, Syria isn't an especially oppressive state by mideast standards when it comes to womens' rights. Women drive, serve in the military, hold jobs where they manage men. Many Syrian women, particularly the younger ones, don't wear headscarves on a daily basis, though plenty do (even some of the Syrian Christian women do). Some of the older ladies wear the full hejab, veil and all (though a couple of Bedu women near Apemia were quite willing to remove it to allow me to take a photo of their facial tatoos). At the entrance to the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus (third holiest in Islam) I watched a guard with a stick block the main entrance to local woman because they weren't wearing headscarves: they had to go around to another entrance, where headscarves were available on loan for them to wear during their visit. (As an obvious infidel, I had to go around to the other entrance too. And I had to take my shoes off -- oh, the oppression of a non-muslim who wouldn't have to remove his shoes in a church!)
The irony of US policy is that the most oppressive states, like Saudi, are close allies, while some of the most liberal states, like Syria and pre-invasion Iraq, are enemies. If these commentators really gave a rat's ass about women's rights, they would be complaining about that.
So what's Drudge's opinion on the dress code (no shorts, no skirts above the knee, no bare shoulders) at St. Peter's?
Hey Barnett, you forgot to include
Laura Bush's wedding picture. You know, the one where she is wearing the veil.
--- Jensen
I have travelled extensively in Asia. I most of SE Asia, I was required to take my shoes off and go barefoot whenever I visited a Buddhist temple or monastery.
Clearly I was being oppressed and subservient. I obviously should have told them to fuck off, and stomped in there wearing my hiking boots.
It seems like the conservative viewpoint -- that women *are* subservient -- is upheld no matter who is wearing the scarf. Condi wears a scarf and reports to a man. Right-wing wives are submissive to their husbands. All's right with the world. Nancy wears a scarf and doesn't report to a man and it looks...well, that's why women can't be leaders. It's a little circular, granted, but try not to notice that.
Meanwhile, the Bush Regime racks up yet more incompetent things this week.
Results matter.
Why the f do they care so much about the oppression in other cultures? You're conservative right? Since conservatives did we take on this "we need to change the world for the better" attitude? As an American let's start caring about America first.
Or at least make it equal in all the animal kingdom; and be pissed that male dogs treat bitches like, well, bitches.
the scarf is a symbol of servatude,to wear it is showing respect for the idea of women being inferior to men. I am surprised many defend it as ok. so what if laura bush wore it, it was wrong if she did and wrong for pelosi to have done it. the difference is that women are forced to wear it in these countries under threat of their lives. you really want to equate that with respect of wearing a suit to church? anyone beaten for not wearing a suit to church lately?

I guess if pelosi goes to the south and wears the confederate flag it is also ok. since she is showing only respect for the culture. next time a repub goes around with the confederate flag, no one on the left should say a word, since they are only being respectful to southern culture
Women in Syria are not beaten if they don't cover their hair, nor were they in pre-invasion Iraq or many other parts of the muslim world (women may have been beaten by their husbands and brothers for other things, but then domestic abuse of women is hardly unheard of here, either). You can stand on a street corner in Damascus today and watch women with uncovered heads go by. In Saudi, in Iran, in Taliban-controlled parts of Afghanistan and tribal areas in Pakistan, yes those women would be beaten or even killed. And that's certainly a problem -- but then religious nutjob fundamentalists are a problem wherever they crop up (the US harbors a few of those too -- though authorities may have arrested Warren Jeffs, for example, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints continues to operate). They're a much worse problem when they are the government and have the force of law behind them, of course. But those same Republicans who are upset at Pelosi don't seem to be cutting off military sales and aid to Saudi, so how seriously do they really take the plight of women in these places, symbolic or real?
At any rate, in a place where the wearing of a particular piece of clothing is a choice, not a dictate, choosing to wear it is not an at of servitude, symbolic or otherwise. If a Catholic woman chooses to wear a cross, is she proclaiming her servitude to a church that does not allow women in its hierarchy? Or might she possibly be expressing devotion to her faith despite that flaw in its dogma? Pelosi as a Christian presumably feels no religious obligation to cover her hair, so either she got caught up in the romance of donning exotic garb (which happens surprisingly often in "the orient") or she was merely trying to be (unnecessarily) gracious to her hosts. Leaving her hair uncovered wouldn't have symbolized anything in Syria, and wouldn't have excited comment either way, so covering it presumably doesn't symbolize anything either. Having her hair uncovered would have prevented any news clips of her time there from airing on Saudi or Iranian TV, however (though everybody gets the Beiruti channels via satellite anyway) and that might have been a consideration: showing a powerful western woman meeting male arab leaders is far more symbolic than anything she might have on her head.
The muslim world is not one huge monolithic block -- though that's often how the west sees it, and it certainly what Osama bin Laden is trying accomplish. Fortunately that's unlikely to happen: the weight of history is leaning the other way. But its possible to help or hinder progress, and youre unlikely to help if you dont recognize that diversity and adjust your actions and opinions accordingly. We want to encourage the more progressive societies without hardening attitudes by being deliberately insulting to traditions, whatever you might think they symbolize. It took Europe several centuries to progress from the middle ages to the enlightenment; the muslim world can make that transition too, and in less time, but you have to pick your battles. Headscarves in Syria is not going to be one that gains you very much.

Husband, father, priestRichard Gaillardetz's "Married Priests: A Countercultural Witness" [1] is thoughtful and succinct.
I am an Episcopal priest, married almost forty-nine years. I know several Episcopal priests who have become Roman Catholic priests and a number who have gone from Rome to Canterbury. My friends who have become Roman Catholic priests have seemed to seek a church in which ordination and clerical celibacy (even for those who are married when they are received by Rome) confer a status of superior "purity," both in some deep-seated sexual sense and by treating the priesthood as a higher state, reflected in a theology that regards ordination as descending "from above."
Anglicanism considers the ministerial priesthood as deriving its ultimate meaning and authority from the baptized—"from below"—with episcopal ordination confirming one's call to minister as an icon of the faithfulness to which we are all called by virtue of our baptism. That I am married, have children and grandchildren, and wrestle with family life, mortgages, and all the other issues my parishioners might wrestle with (including sexual issues) makes it impossible for me to think of myself as purer or above them in any ontological sense. Married priesthood has its problems (ask my wife and children!), but in the long run, it seems healthier for both the...

...diaper free time?Ā I know it's good for LO's bottoms to be without a diaper for some "fresh air" time, but how do you do it without them going to the bathroom all over the place?
I've tried it a couple of times, with terrible results.Ā Thankfully, LO isn't prone to diaper rash (only had it once so far (knock on wood!) and that was due to the Pampers she was using!).
Anyway, any thoughts?

Okay, I understand how to edit core template files (index.php, category.php, etc.) by calling custom template files (i.e.: newsidebar.php).
My question is: Am I able to build an entirely new CORE template file? I want index.php to only show the TWO most recent entries, and then I want the user to click to blog.php to get the "full blog" experience. However, when I try to create blog.php and access it, I get a "no input file specified" error.
Is this impossible to accomplish? Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks very much

A major downtown sewer project that's been one problem after another — and was supposed to be finished two months ago — won't be completed until around spring of 2015.
Underground AT&T wires and two duct banks containing telephone conduits underground, directly in the path of the sewer line on North Phelps Street between West Federal and West Commerce streets, stopped the project in that area in March — a month after it started.
There are about 20,000 splices to fiber-optic lines that AT&T will need to do on that road, and the company will get rid of the two duct banks in the road and replace them with one on the sidewalk, said Charles Shasho, deputy director of the city's public works department.
Although the rest of the Phelps project from West Commerce to Lincoln Ave- nue should be done in a few weeks, Shasho said the portion between West Federal and West Commerce won't even start until next spring.
"We need to redesign it," he said. "It's going to be a significant project. We hope to start bids in the spring. It will take close to one year off and on to complete. There's a lot to it."
Mayor Charles Sammarone said he's concerned about the stability of the brick sewer line, which is about 100 years old, and was to be replaced under this project.
"There's concern about all of our brick sewers," Shasho said. "The need is pressing."
The other issue, Sammarone said, is that AT&T's downtown communications lines are on that street, and care is needed to make sure there isn't a problem with them during work next year.
The locations of the AT&T lines and duct banks were surprises to city officials, Shasho said.
"We sent letters to all the utilities, and they mark the locations," he said. AT&T "didn't mark them all, and some weren't marked accurately."
The cost of this project continues to grow.
The original cost for design and work was $1,215,759.31.
The city's board of control approved $52,356.61 in change orders Thursday for additional construction work, bringing the total cost to $1,673,421.62, a 37.6 percent increase from the original amount.
The city will deduct about $180,000 to $200,000 out of that amount, Shasho said, because of not doing the work between West Federal and West Commerce.
But that expense definitely will grow when proposals are sought for the job next year, he said.
The rest of the project should be done in a few weeks, Shasho said. That work includes putting handrails on a pedestrian walkway between West Commerce and West Wood streets, and some landscaping, he said.
Besides the AT&T problem, other issues with this project included unexpected improvements to manholes and catch basins, and a communications problem with not informing business owners about the project before it started in February.
Whatever happened to the days when a company did its research and knew what it was getting into before it bid a job? And once the job was awarded, the bid price was the price paid?
Seems like a company can bid any price it wants, if it can up the ante every time it encounters something that will take a little more time or cause a little more work.
Modern cities have things like cable banks and utility lines and such on a public access GIS database whereby bidders would all start on the same (web) page so-to-speak. Youngstown just isn't there yet.

Spanos pleads innocent to second-degree murderStaff Report | January 24,2013A man accused in the crash that killed 17-year-old Carly Ferro in Rutland pleaded innocent today in Rutland criminal court to a charge of second-degree murder. Alex W. Spanos was ordered held without bail after entering the plea.
Spanos had been charged in September with manslaughter after the crash on Cleveland Avenue.
Prosecutors filed an amended charge of second-degree murder against Spanos earlier this year.
The murder charge carries a potential lifetime jail sentence with a minimum sentence of 20 years behind bars — a far greater penalty than the 15-year maximum he faced if convicted of manslaughter.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...
