Adjustabeds.com, one stop shopping for your bed
Shopping: Sleeping is critical for health and well being. So where and how you sleep is equally important. It used to be there was little to decide in terms of traditional sleeping choices. It was an innerspring or coil mattress and box springs. The choices were largely made on size: Twin and Full were once the leading options, King and Queen jumped quickly to favor both for the extra width but also the extra length.
Choices: Now there is a myriad of choices as to how you sleep. If you are shopping for a new bed or an additional bed for a guest room or den, you may find all the choices a bit overwhelming. Consider a location like adjustabed.com that offers a wide range of mattresses and frames choices. This allows you to compare beds side by side to understand the best choice for you.
Style: This is the style of the frame and the material of the mattress. Many of these choices will be made based upon whether you have any health conditions or sleeping requirements that are best served by one type of mattress over another.
The bed can be innerspring but more often than not the contemporary shopper is considering a range of options from memory foam, to air or water options.
Support: The frame options are equally varied. Platform beds that were once the domain of waterbeds, have been updated and modernized to allow for more options than just a waterbed; memory foam, air and even the traditional innerspring can be set on the platform. Some sleep experts recommend the platform style for back support, others suggest for back and other pain a memory foam mattress combined with the flexibility of an adjustable bed frame is the better choice as it can help with more than one medical condition, or for those looking to work or watch TV in bed.
Comfort: Do you want the bed frame to be split so that each sleeper has options for maintaining comfort control? In a split adjustable frame the king and queen options provide separate mattress areas, which can be a great choice if there are substantial size differences in sleep partners, or if the sleeping needs are significantly different.
Recommendation: Adjustabed.com offers a range of brand names, frame styles and adjustable frame choices. This allows you to look at the specs side by side and make an informed choice.

Terrorists claiming to be from 'Free Syrian Army' aiming rockets towards residential areas of Damascus. They start by showing a radar, then in the distance rockets mounted on vehicles, then members of a captured army unit who were responsible for the rockets, then more fixed rockets. They say that these SAMs are aimed towards the President's palace in Damascus. The missiles are not designed for that purpose and the palace is located in a residential city, and if launched this will cause carnage and death of civilians. They promise to launch them, and say that this is the final warning.
It is interesting that the speaker says they are aiming 'towards' اتجاه the palace. They cannot strike with accuracy the palace itself. It is also interesting that several videos have appeared by the 'Free Syrian Army' claiming the government is on the brink of firing SAMs, which would appear to be misinformation prior to an anticipated attack on civilian areas.
The terrorists justify the inevitable killing of civilians by saying this is in response to the Houla and Al-Qubair massacres. It is unclear who conducted these massacres. False testimonies and fabrications abound, but they are worth their weight in propaganda to cause more death:

Here are the answers to our most frequently asked questions:
Is it scary?
YES, it's scary! We work hard year round to develop a fun, safe, and scary Halloween event, and we strive to give you what you paid for. Unfortunately, not everyone will allow themselves to let go and have some fun being scared, so we try to entertain those individuals in other ways. You may scream, laugh, shield your eyes, or any number of things… but we hope you leave ENTERTAINED.
How long does it take to go through?
The attraction is a self guided walk-though maze. From the moment you buy your ticket to the moment you leave the facility it is not uncommon to take 20-30 minutes. Your experience will be longer if you take the time to enjoy the attraction and all the details we put into it, interact with the staff and characters, and walk slowly! Your times may be inadvertently extended if you are caught and trapped by one of the monsters. It also depends on how fast you run. Our monsters like to scare you, and if you run through the entire maze with your eyes shut, your experience will be unnecessarily short! TAKE YOUR TIME AND PLAY WITH US!
What happens if I'm too scared to get through?
In the highly likely event that you cannot make it though the attraction, use any of the labeled "Exit" doors or tell one of the cast members that you would like to immediately exit the attraction. They will help you find security personnel and assist you out of the building. If you choose to exit before completing the show, please remember – there are no refunds.
Is it appropriate for my kids?
Circle of Ash tries to deliver a show that is appropriate for PG-13 audiences.
What is the maximum group size that can go into the attraction together?
We try our best to keep your group together when you visit Circle of Ash. Large groups, unfortunately, must usually be split into smaller sizes to get the best experience for everyone. As such, we try to keep group sizes around 6 people. Exceptions are made for 7 people… but groups of 8 or more are almost always broken into two smaller groups. You can help us by deciding WHO you want to go through with BEFORE you get to the admission gate.
Will the actors touch me?
The acting staff is specifically trained to invade your personal bubble without touching you. However, things happen in dark, tight spaces and you may indeed experience an accidental brush with an actor. Some scenes require voluntary physical interaction with the cast, however those interactions will not be unexpected. We will touch you for an additional, appropriate charge.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, we accept all major credit cards at the door. We also accept cash and bank issued cashiers checks. Online payments are processed through TicketLeap.
Do you offer group or corporate rates?
Groups of 20 or more people qualify for group rates, but you must pre-register. You may mail personal or business checks 10 days in advance of your attendance, or you may pay via cash/credit card/cashiers check on site the day of your visit. ALL GROUPS MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE. To register, visit our online ticketing system.
I lost my Phone/Camera/Wallet/Sunglasses/Purse/etc in the attraction. Can you go look for it for me?
Sorry, we cannot stop the show and look for your lost item. Our actors are always on the lookout for lost items, and when found they will be brought to the ticket booth. You may return the next operating night to claim your items.
It's raining/snowing outside. Will you still be open?
YES! In fact, coming during the rain or snow might just be one of the best times to visit our attraction. Sure, you may get a little bit wet, but you are likely to have to wait less. AND, we have a significant amount of indoor waiting so you are unlikely to be waiting in the rain. Bring an umbrella, though, as you will have to walk about 1 block from your car, and if it's a late October night, there may be a small wait outdoors.
What kind of special effects are in use?
Our attraction uses Strobe lights, fog and other atmospheric effects, loud sounds, scents and smells, lasers, projections, black lights, and dark areas. We also have areas of uneven floors, ramps, and extruded flooring surfaces. A microwave may be in use on the premise at any given time.
Are you handicap accessible?
YES! Our attraction was built ADA compliant and we have many visitors every season that use wheelchairs to navigate the attraction. We've had some great feedback as a result of our accessibility, and we take great pride in delivering a show that everyone can enjoy.
I represent a radio to television station, newspaper, magazine or other media outlet. How can I contact you?
Media inquiries can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please note that the vast majority of our advertising decisions are made a full year in advance, however in-kind trades or sponsorships are considered year round. Special appearances or requests to use our sets and scenes should be made with at least 10 business days of notice.

Travelers take airport security in stride
Lindbergh arrival delays
Several flights were delayed arriving Tuesday night at Lindbergh Field due to weather problems elsewhere in the country, including snow in Utah, an airport spokesman said.
One flight was expected to arrive as late as 2 a.m. Wednesday, the spokesman said.
- Susan Shroder
Women who fly? Wear slacks, says airport veteran
Darlee Crocket of La Jolla is a grandmother of seven, a breast cancer survivor and a veteran traveler.
Imagine her surprise when, after opting out of a full-body scan at Lindbergh Field over radiation concerns , she was singled out of a full-body pat-down.
The Oct. 27 event made her quite possibly the first Lindbergh passenger to receive the controversial procedure. The Transportation Security Administration had introduced the invasive frisking only days before, linking it to anyone opting out of a scan.
Crockett said she hadn't even heard the phrase "opt out" until a week or so after her experience.
What surprised her was how long it took the TSA to find an officer versed in the new pat-down procedure.
"Four times I had to remind them that I was here. I could have missed my flight," she said. She was told it could take as much as a half-hour before a handler arrived. "They were rude. It was as if they were trying to talk me out of the pat-down," she said Tuesday night.
Campbell has written a letter to the TSA complaining about the way she was treated.
When the TSA handler did arrive, Campbell said, she was courteous and professional. She offered Campbell a private room for the pat-down, which she declined.
Though almost no part of Campbell's body was left untouched over her slacks and sweater, " I didn't feel like my body was being groped," she said. The handler wore Latex gloves and ran only the back of her hand around Campbell's body, explaining every step along the way.
"It didn't take long at all," said Campbell.
"I still don't plan to go through the scanner," she said of the next time she flies. "The TSA needs to come up with more option."
One other thing she does not ever plan to do is wear a dress when flying.
Considering where TSA agents place their hands, "that could be uncomfortable," she says.
SAN DIEGO Coming and going, air passengers at Lindbergh Field on Tuesday seemed only moderately concerned with intensive new security screening procedures that have rolled out across the country and roiled up a segment of the population.
Petite Mary LaPierre, 63, arriving from New Orleans to visit grandchildren and family, said she found the security process more inconvenient than disturbing. Of her first encounter with airport security in two years, she said, "I don't like it but, honestly, whatever I have to do to be safe, I don't mind doing it."
Those heading out of San Diego during the afternoon also were mostly concerned with safety, willingly if grudgingly submitting to the inconvenience.
Isaiah Staley, 33, rushing to meet his flight to Colorado in Terminal 2, summed up the feeling of many: "I'd rather be safe on planes, so if it takes that ... then it is OK with me. If it makes it harder on them to blow me up, then I'm not opposed to it."
Murray Bauer, director of terminal operations, arrived at the airport at 4:30 a.m. even though the first wave of jets didn't take off until 6:30 a.m.
Bauer says he is "pleasantly surprised and pleasantly pleased" with how smoothly traffic has been flowing.
"Very routine," he added for emphasis.
Besides the absence of any discernible opt-out protest, Bauer said changing travel habits in the last few years help.
"Wednesday (before Thanksgiving) used to be the busiest day of the year," he said. "Now people leave earlier in the week and stay longer."
Despite the relative calm that pervaded the airport on Tuesday, Baur said that would be the busiest day of the holiday, next to Sunday when everyone heads home.
While departing traffic came in waves Wednesday morning, passengers were flowing smoothly and quickly through security lines toward their destinations.
In Terminal 1, a line that stretched down the main corridor with perhaps 100 people had completely disappeared in less than 20 minutes.
Baur said he will stay on the operating floor with other Airport Authority staff and the volunteer Airport Ambassadors staff, assisting passengers through the day.
In two hours of interviews with passengers, perhaps tellingly, none of those arriving had been subjected to the controversial and invasive pat-downs. Those who went through full-body scans were more intrigued by the randomness of their selection.
Travis Boyer, 39, heading home to Houston, said he wasn't concerned about the process. "It is actually more along the lines of what is going on internationally," he said. "I'm all for it. ... It will be more tedious probably, getting in, but I think it is worth it when it comes to your safety."
What was missing from conversations with most passengers was the emotional intensity that might fuel an airport-disrupting protest such as the one called for today, the day before Thanksgiving, which is traditionally one of the busiest travel days of the year.
An Internet-based movement has proclaimed Wednesday as "National Opt-Out Day," encouraging passengers to refuse to pass through recently installed body-scanners, forcing Transportation Security Administration officers to reroute them through metal detectors and conduct time-consuming pat-downs.
Concerns about the scanners and pat-downs have been expressed from everyday travelers to President Barack Obama. Transportation officials say they will look to make adjustments, but not until after the Thanksgiving weekend.
The controversy was fueled by John Tyner of Oceanside after he was escorted out of Lindbergh Field Nov. 13 for refusing to submit to a full-body scan or a pat-down. His warning to a TSA agent not to "touch my junk" immediately became a pop culture sensation.
Objections to the scans and pat-downs range from privacy concerns to worries about radiation exposure.
Marine Cpl. John McClellan, 30 of Michigan and heading to San Antonio Tuesday, had no such objections. "Invasion of privacy?" said the Iraq veteran, "You've got to take what you can get, give and take"
At three Lindbergh Field security stations observed Tuesday afternoon, all passengers were being sent through the full-body scanners. No passengers went through the metal detectors. It may have helped that traffic was light at the time, enabling TSA staff to make more use than usual of the slower full-body scanners.
Airport traffic picked up as the day wore on.
Passengers arriving from several Texas airports, Denver, New Orleans, Pittsburgh and elsewhere were all reporting lightly populated airports and fully-packed airplanes around the country. None saw any significant problems or concerns in passing through the security gauntlet.
According to Deb Dieter, 55, the TSA staff at the Madison, Wis., airport was "pretty friendly, pretty serious, but friendly." She added in a helpful tone, "I got my palms swiped — but I did not have any bomb remnants on my hands."
The experience of her husband, Ward, 60, was even less traumatic. "They put my bag through twice," he said, "because I have about 15 pounds of CDs that I'm hauling to our daughter."
Sativa Segovia and her two young children breezed through security in El Paso, Texas. "We went through the metal detector," she said as her husband pulled luggage from the carrousel. "They didn't pat us down or anything. They have the body scanners, and people around me went through them, but I don't know why we didn't."
"The El Paso airport is never busy," she added.
"That's why it is the best airport," chipped in her husband, Petty Officer Richard Segovia, who is attached to the guided missile destroyer Pinckney in San Diego.
For some, the new pat-down procedures are more disturbing than the scanners.
San Diegan Dolores Nelson, 73, experienced a pat-down in a Botswana airport a couple of weeks ago that was very similar to the U.S. procedure. "I was kind of shocked," she said, while preparing to enter security for a flight to Salt Lake City.
"We really do need to cooperate in order to stay safe," she added, "but the pat-down — I'm not at all comfortable with it. I'm happy to go through the scanners. I really don't want anyone patting me down again."
Veteran coast-to-coast flier Glenn Gorges, 61, of Phoenix feels the same way. "I haven't personally been subjected to the scanner or pat downs," said the man who commutes from Phoenix to New York twice a month. "I don't object to the scanners, but the pat downs I might object to."
Perhaps the most outraged passenger of the day was Julius Satterfield, 44, a jazz pianist from Carlsbad.
"Well, it's crazy to be testing everyone equally," he said before checking in for his flight to Colorado. "I'm not a big fan (of full body scanners). What I understand is, the TSA has never caught a terrorist. They are batting zero."
He found the idea that everyone gets scanned so no one is discriminated against, kind of absurd. "if focusing on one group would be a question of their civil rights, " he said, "this is a question of my civil rights. Seems to be competing to me."
But even his outrage has limits. Satterfield said, if it came down to it, he would walk through the full body scanner.
"It is the lesser of two evils," he said. "You've got to fly."

How we make connections in a disconnected world
Relationship disaster movies
Carla Nell 2 p.m., Aug. 31
Hey, Matt!
Do kids these days still get cooties? And what's a cootie anyway?
-- Buglady, San Diego
Cooties live! Science has not yet found a cure. According to our survey of neighborhood short people, you can still get cooties from your classmates. Nobody could describe a cootie, exactly. They're just the same vague but nasty emanations they were back when Matthew was a tyke. A wonderful school tradition that links the generations. The word "cootie" is a borrow (ca. 1915) from the Malaysian word "kutu" -- lice.

One of my betta girls looks like she's permanently flaring on one side because the gill cover is open. I don't know if it's open because it's infected and swollen or if there's a tiny piece of gravel caught in there. It does look as if there might be something black & gravely in there but it's really hard to see (as you might imagine).
I tried putting her in a shallow bowl and gently irrigating the gills with water and a medicine dropper. Didn't work.
Then I thought that if she flared hard enough it might dislodge itself (if in fact, there is something there, which I'm not 100% sure of) so I put one of the boys in the bowl with her and watched them like a hawk. She flared really hard at him but it didn't fix the problem. I put him back.
I read that the gill of a betta may become inflamed because of nitrate poisoning or possibly bacterial infection, and the treatment is to add antibiotic (Picking one that treats inflamed gills) to the water. In the case of nitrate poisoning, add one drop of methylene blue in bettas jar.
I've put her in a separate bowl and put bettamax in her water. Bettamax is a blended antibiotic for bacterial and fungal infections but it doesn't actually say anything about inflamed gills.
The ammonia is 0, nitrite is 0 and nitrate is 5.0 in the tank she was in.
Any ideas? Is bettamax strong enough?
Gill cover not closing

Republicans Put Out a Digital Change Jar
Brad Haynes reports on the presidential race.
Barack Obama may have John McCain beat when it comes to online fund-raising and Facebook friends (click here and here), but Republicans have an edge in one form of Internet campaigning – and it's growing 2.3 cents at a time.
When supporters install a GOP toolbar for their Web browser, the Republican National Committee collects a few pennies every time they use the Yahoo-based search function. The gadget was designed by http://www.freecause.com/ FreeCause Inc. , which gets the micro-payments from Yahoo and passes them to the RNC, after collecting its commission. Users can track the total in their digital change jar, which tops out at the Federal Election Commission's $28,500 limit. That would amount to more than 1.2 million searches. Users can also do their online shopping through the browser tool, which directs 1% to 8% of their spending to the RNC.
FreeCause co-founder Casey Adkisson says the company has worked mainly with charitable causes like the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer organization and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
When McCain's former chief strategist John Weaver heard about the new technology, his firm, The Network Companies LLC, bought the rights to the technology in the political marketplace. Beyond the fund-raising potential, Weaver sees the future of political communications and organizing in Web tools like this one.
"We're all looking for a way to get around the media filters, to go directly to the consumer," Weaver said. "The browser is the new desktop. Now we've got a communications tool in front of the user for six to ten hours every day. It will have a revolutionary impact."
Weaver said the toolbar will incorporate an RSS feed as well as scrolling news, breaking alerts and two-way communication with supporters. For now Republicans are the only ones with the tool at their fingertips, although the FEC mandates that the technology must be available to the Democratic party as well. "They didn't say we had to do it at the same time," Weaver said. "You'll see, their version will be on the way."

By Sgt. Nicole Dykstra, 99th Regional Support Command Public AffairsNovember 14, 2010
As veterans around the country were being honored for their commitment to the safety of the nation, the commanding general of the 99th Regional Support Command addressed visitors at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York during its annual Veterans Day ceremony, Nov. 11.
Brig. Gen. William D. Razz Waff, commanding general of the 99th RSC, spoke first to a group of Intrepid member veterans, including former crew members of the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid.
Opened in 1982, the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum is centered on the aircraft carrier Intrepid (CVS-11), now a national historic landmark. The Intrepid was commissioned in 1943 and served in World War II. It went on to serve as one of the primary recovery vessels for NASA, three tours of duty off Vietnam, and submarine surveillance in the North Atlantic during the Cold War. It was retired in 1974.
Waff praised the former crewmembers for their service and expressed what an honor it was to speak before them on Veterans Day.
"To be here in your midst today is just wonderful," said Waff. "You stood at the cusp of when civilization could have ended. It is on your shoulders that our current servicemembers stand."
Waff also lauded the efforts of the museum's staff in their mission to educate New York while continually finding new ways to support veterans of all services.
Annually, more than 915,000 people visit the museum.
"This institution's education mission for the school-aged children of New York is unparalleled," he said. "Please continue to reach out and educate."
Other speakers included Ray Stone, who served aboard the Intrepid as a radarman from 1943-1945, and Gerry Byrne, Intrepid trustee and Vietnam veteran of the Marine Corps.
Following a short tour of the museum's displays, Waff made his way to the flight deck and addressed a crowd of more than 200 visitors who had come out to pay tribute to our nation's heroes past and present.
Coast Guard Chaplain Lt. David Rozanek provided an invocation followed by the posting of the colors by a Color Guard from the Naval Operations Center from Bronx, NY. Sgt. Veronica Gonzales, a vocalist with the 319th Army Band, 99th RSC, Fort Totten, NY sang the National Anthem.
Waff then thanked veterans in attendance, as well as their families, for their sacrifices to the nation, and challenged them to help to continue the military's long history of exceptional servicemembers. He asked them to connect with other veterans and to inspire other citizens to join the armed forces.
"Our military's technology far outpaces what we thought possible even five years ago, so we need to continue to attract the best and the brightest," said Waff. "The sacrifices you've made throughout the history of the republic are phenomenal. We need you to share that with today's youth."
In remembrance of those veterans who had made the ultimate sacrifice to the nation, Waff was joined by Stone to lay a memorial wreath in the Hudson River.

Last Friday morning, there was something different about Mark Cuban when he appeared at the studio of the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning Show to celebrate co-host Kellie Rasberry's 20 years on the program. The difference? He was about $1 billion richer than he had been on Thursday morning.
It turns out that Cuban was not just pulling a Trump when he said that Forbes magazine's January valuation of his Dallas Mavericks of $765 million was way too low. He told this newspaper that if someone offered him $765 million for the team, he would "laugh at them."
Forbes guesstimated the Mavs to be the 8th most valuable NBA team.
The L.A. Clippers were 13th on the Forbes list with a value $575 million.
Last Thursday, it was announced that former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer would buy the Clippers for $2 billion in the wake of the V. Stiviano/Donald Sterling unpleasantness.
Even putting a vanity discount on the Ballmer purchase (he is worth $20 billion, so what the heck?), the deal has got to put the Mavs in the $2 billion ballpark, significantly raising the net worth of the majority owner.
But the Kraddick in the Morning crew wanted to know about CyberDust, Cuban's new texting app that makes messages disappear immediately after they're read.
Cuban released the product after a federal jury cleared him in the SEC's dubious insider trading case against him.
"I had a little fight with the government," he told the Kraddick team, "but I kicked their (mild expletive deleted)."

How Rock the Garden happens
CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER | Updated 6/19/2013
Behind the scenes on how 89.3 the Current and the Walker make Rock the Garden a reality.

So it goes with Rock the Garden. The annual concert outside Walker Art Center returns Saturday with another instantaneously sold-out lineup — the assembling of which was anything but fast and easy.
"It seems like every year, there's at least one point in the process where we really start to fret and say, 'Oh, God, I don't know if we're going to be able to pull it off,' " said Philip Bither, the Walker's senior curator of performing arts.
Time and budget constraints hinder Rock the Garden's booking process more than most big concerts. Then there's the simple challenge of getting two of the Twin Cities' most finicky arts organizations to agree on the right bands for their biggest one-day event of the year.
Planning for RTG "pretty much starts while we're watching the bands the year before," explained Jim McGuinn, program director at 89.3 the Current, which has co-organized the event with the Walker each year since 2008.
"We're definitely an opinionated group of people," McGuinn noted.
The two organizations assemble a tally of about 100 possible acts. That includes the usual pipe dreams (Radiohead, Prince), plus perennial favorites who have yet to play RTG, including this year's pair of Minnesota-bred acts, Bob Mould and Low. In keeping with the Walker's experimental aesthetic, there's usually a short list of left-field surprises, evidenced by Tune-Yards last year and Dan Deacon this year.
The list then gets updated — largely on the Current's end — with acts that have released buzzed-about albums. Metric is the prime example of that this year.
The Canadian synth-rock band already had ties to the Current and its parent Minnesota Public Radio, and it booked a date with MPR's "Wits" the night before RTG this year. Still, Metric nearly had to pull out when it was offered a major tour-opening slot (a tour that fell through).
"They were a shoo-in, but even then it comes down to timing," said McGuinn.
Some of the other names that came up included the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Alabama Shakes, Vampire Weekend and Michael Kiwanuka (who will play the RTG after-party at First Avenue). Also in the mix were newly minted "Thrift Shop" hip-hop hitmakers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, whom McGuinn said he viewed as "a hip sort of indie-rap act like Atmosphere."
The Walker's staff saw otherwise. "We try to avoid anything that might be come off as a one-hit wonder," explained Doug Benidt, assistant curator at the Walker in charge of RTG's production. "I'm still catching grief for picking MGMT," which delivered an infamously lackluster performance at RTG 2010.
By October or November, McGuinn and Benidt are hard at work putting in calls and checking whether acts are available. Said Benidt, "There's a lot of work and especially a lot of luck involved."
The show is always the same Saturday in mid-June, so organizers have no backup date to offer bands. What's more, a summertime Saturday is a top payday for bands of the rock-fest ilk, but RTG usually offers less than optimal rates. Performers instead take the inherent Current airplay for trade, as well as the satisfaction of raising money for the two nationally recognized nonprofit organizations (last year's RTG cleared about $32,000 after covering $690,000 in costs, per the Walker's annual budget report).
"The good news is, I think word is getting around among the bands and their agents that it's a great gig," said Benidt. What makes the process harder, he said, "is we feel more and more pressure each year to keep the momentum going."

In the Toyota family, the Scion branch is where the cool kids hang out, away from mom and dad and the grandparents.
There is a younger group being targeted with these rides, which are designed to look sharp and catch your eye, and not necessarily focus on the same type of features you'll find on Toyota and Lexus side of things.
I recently had some time behind the wheel of one of the new Scion models, the 2014 Scion tC, and I'm back with a full report on what it offers and who might want to pick one up.
Fitting with the general theme of the Scion lineup, the tC is a sporty-looking coupe, featuring two doors and the hatchback trunk, and a design that is pretty low to the ground.
From the outside it doesn't look like there would be much space inside, but it is still somewhat roomy though vs. others in its category. I got a child seat in the back comfortably, and even with the driver seat pushed all the way back someone was able to sit in the rear and not be squished.
You get a panoramic glass moonroof with power tilt/slide, which are a nice option in warm weather.
The odometer, etc. have the signature Scion Red/black features — and are almost racecar-esque in their appearance (while we're talking racecar style, if you really want to get a car with this kind of look but that's even more racy under the hood, the Scion FR-S is the way you want to go).
In terms of performance, the Scion tC is good from a stop, quickly getting up to speed, but acceleration isn't quite as impressive once you get up to higher speeds. It's understandable though that you won't be blown away, as you're relying on 179 horsepower from a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine. Manual or automatic transmission is offered, with a slightly higher price on the automatic.
Handling was very responsive, road noise was so-so, and the ride wasn't too rough. It's not a cocoon, but you're not going to hear and feel everything outside.
Music controls on the Scion are done via the 6.1-inch touchscreen Display Audio system, which worked well most of the time but sometimes didn't respond as well to touch as I would have liked.
An 8-speaker, 300-watt AM/FM/CD/HD Radio system is standard, (and it can be upgraded to the more impressive BeSpoke Premium Audio).
AUX/USB with iPod connection are standard; If you get the BeSpoke system, you get navigation and smartphone integration, so you can stream wireless music and make calls with your voice.
In terms of safety, the tC features: vehicle stability control; traction control; anti-lock brakes, brake assist and start-stop technology, plus a tire pressure monitoring system. It also has excellent ratings in crash protection.
You won't get more advanced safety systems offered on other vehicles — like lane keeping systems, rear crosspath detection, etc. — on the tC. Those are generally reserved for more family-oriented vehicles, as they tend to drive up the prices of a new car and this vehicle is also aimed at a younger crowd that tends to be less focused on those kind of features.
The 2014 Scion tC starts at just under $20K. After adding a rear spoiler, illuminating door sill (a cool little inside touch) and the Bespoke premium audio (which costs an extra $1,198), and the destination charge, the total came to about $23K.
The Scion tC won't be everyone's cup of tea (it's definitely not a family-oriented vehicle, eliminating quite a large group right off the bat), but it's a fun ride and has a clear target market — namely younger males. Toyota and its Scion branch have a well-designed vehicle with lots of features to like, and the 2014 Scion tC could be a popular choice among those looking for a fun, sporty ride.

The Wanderer
by Anonymous
Lines 30-39 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 30-32
He knows who tries it how cruel is sorrow,
a bitter companion, to the one who has few
concealers of secrets, beloved friends.
- Again, the earth-stepper returns to the theme of his loneliness. Instead of real friends, the exile has sorrow as a companion.
- This passage marks an end to the earth-stepper's reflections on his own experience. Now, he begins to think about the fate of all exiles more generally.
- The earth-stepper subtly announces an idea he will return to later on with "he knows who tries it." The idea is that those who have experienced exile possess special knowledge that others do not.
- The translator expands the Old English, leofra geholena, "beloved friends" or protectors, to characterize these friends as "concealers of secrets." He does this because the word after leofra is unclear in the manuscript. The characterization of friends as "concealers of secrets" fits well with the idea in lines 9b-14, that the earth-stepper's lack of friends leaves him with no one he trusts to talk to.
Lines 33-37a
The exile-track claims him, not twisted gold,
his soul-chamber frozen, not fold's renown.
He remembers hall-warriors and treasure-taking,
how among youth his gold-friend
received him at the feast.
- This passage contrasts the joys of the exile's past with his current desolation. Instead of possessing gold, he is possessed by exile. Instead of earth's (fold's) fame (renown), he gets a frozen "soul-chamber."
- With the idea of the frozen soul-chamber, the imagery of winter returns. This time, it has penetrated the ferðlocan (soul-chamber or spirit-chest), deep inside the exile's body.
- The earth-stepper began his speech while remembering the slaughter of his kinsmen. Here, the idea of memory returns, but this time the memories are joyful. The exile remembers what life was like back when he had a hall to hang out in.
- The "gold-friend" who receives the exile at the feast is his lord. He is a gold-friend because of his role as dispenser of treasure to his noblemen.
- The exile's memories of more joyful times foreshadow a section in lines 40-44 in which he dreams that he is back in the hall, kneeling before his lord.
Lines 37b-39
Joy has all perished!
So he knows, who must of his lord-friend,
of loved-one, lore-sayings long time before.
- As he will again in lines 94-96, the exile laments the passing of all good things with the exclamation "Joy has all perished!" His memories of happier times disappear with his return to the reality of his situation.
- The twisted grammar of lines 38-39 makes them kind of difficult to understand. Basically, they're saying that a person who has been deprived of a lord for a long time knows that the good times are over.
- With "so he knows, who…." the speaker returns to the idea of the special knowledge born from experience, a special knowledge that all exiles share.
- In previous lines, the lord was mainly characterized by his treasure-giving capability. Now, he has a new function: he's a dispenser of "lore-sayings," or wisdom. In addition to treasure, the exile is deprived of his lord's wisdom.

You can't play the game on Google Chrome, but you can play it on Foxfire or IE.
Good game, btw!

Pretty good. Though when i get to the level one boss the loading messes up. It intializes the level, then it loads, thenit goes back to the initializing screen. I've tried clickign reload and trouble loading, but nothing seems to be happening. What should I do?
I guess just try clearing your cache and starting from the start. And it might be going back to the initialize screen because you clicked the reload button more than once. Sorry about the issues.

Hey what about a game about being a Nazi guard killing people in a concentration camp?
Go watch Hirsch movie.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
It was entertaining overall, but I would have made the level requirements greater. I always managed to go to the boss before I finished all the missions. :/

Psalms Resources
Read 'em all, King James style.
Itching for some Psalms at 3:00AM? We'll do you one better—here, they're set to music.
Rastafarian culture has used Pslams in reggae music for decades. What do you think—a good mix?
When the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, the writings contained a collection of psalms, and a few original writings that are psalm-ish.
A Holocaust survivor depicted all 150 psalms in painting. And now he's here to tell you about it.
These things were written thousands of years ago, and here we are reading them out loud today. Barack Obama chose Psalm 46 for this particular occasion.
The Psalms even move Charlie.
Not the most moving reading, but a nice way to hear what they sound like out loud.
U2 has dabbled in the Psalms, and in this live video they perform Psalm 40. Awesomely, we might add.
Psalm 137 has been set to music more times than you can image. Here you can check it out in reggae.
Ancient Israel was a crossroads between Egypt and Mesopotamia. Oh, and those rivers up there on the right? Those are the rivers of Babylon (remember Psalm 137?).
This older map tries to place Biblical cities in context. Plus it's colorful.
Even in the desert, former empires left their marks.

(WOMENSENEWS)--Shortly after giving birth, Berivan Dosky was forced to flee her village when Saddam Hussein's forces gassed it in 1991. Another chemical attack confronted Dosky with a Faustian choice: use her only gas mask for herself or for her 2-year-old son. She decided neither; both would live or die together. They did survive, but Dosky says she is forever emotionally and physically scarred.
At 14, Katrin Michael was arrested by Iraqi authorities for joining the Iraqi Women's League. She recounts harrowing tales of torture under Saddam's regime, notably the practice of gang raping political dissidents' wives, daughters and mothers in front of them.
These are just some of the grisly tales Iraqi exiles have been telling at recent roundtables hosted by U.S. State Department. They are part of a campaign to link the war against Iraq with atrocities against women, much the way the Taliban's unspeakable cruelty to Afghan women was used to justify that military operation.
"We have fought this war both to rid Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction and to free the Iraqi people from the clutches of a brutal dictator--and that includes Iraqi women," Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs Paula J. Dobriansky said in a recent speech at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
Dobriansky is also spearheading an effort to include women in Iraq's future regime. She insists that "empowering women is a top priority in shaping Iraq's provisional government. Ensuring women's rights benefits not only individuals
. . . it also strengthens democracy."
Women Question U.S. Commitment to Iraqi Women
U.S. women's rights activists here and abroad, however, are questioning the U.S. commitment to this ideal and warn that early indicators do not bode well. They also argue that Afghanistan is not like Iraq, where women enjoy the right to vote, drive, get educated, work and hold political office--rights they could actually lose under a U.S.-backed regime.
"Our concern is how much the rhetoric will be matched by serious levels of funding for Iraqi reconstruction and for women's programs in particular," says Ritu Sharma, director of Women's Edge, an international aid group. "The only indication is a program that puts an emphasis on girls, but there's a whole lot more that needs to be done."
Others also point to the first U.S.-choreographed "town hall" meeting in Iraq last week, which brought together 80 Iraqi opposition leaders and exiles to plot the country's democratic course. Only five women attended. And the man widely considered the U.S. pick for leading a new government, Ahmad Chalabi, is head of the Iraqi National Congress, which has been criticized for failing to put women in leadership positions.
British Member of Parliament Joan Ruddock said she was "shocked" by the gender imbalance at the meeting. She issued a warning to Jay Garner, the retired U.S. general tapped to head the interim government in Iraq, about the sheiks and clerics who turned out in full force.
"Despite all the brutality of Saddam Hussein's rule, Iraq has a long history of secularism, in which women have not suffered the specific gender repression often found in Islamic societies," Ruddock wrote. "Many women will be deeply concerned by any attempt to put Islamists in control because of the effect this would have on women's rights."
Anxious to avoid charges of imposing a government on the Iraqi people, Dobriansky insists that while "the women of Iraq have a critical role to play . . . the U.S. will not dictate what the future Iraqi government will look like. Those decisions are for the Iraqi people to make."
Those words make Women's Edge's Sharma cringe.
"We have to get away from the view that women's rights are a cultural thing and we have to let the country go at its own speed. Rights are fundamental and ideally we'd like to see Iraq go back to the tradition of women's participation. We have to be very careful to guard against fundamentalist elements that may not want to honor that history," she said.
Such has already been the case in Afghanistan, she adds, arguing that in its desire to build a pluralistic Afghanistan and let Afghans lead their own country, U.S. officials have allowed in "very fundamentalist elements."
"The question of women and women's priority are something that gets negotiated away very quickly," said Sanam Anderlini. Iran-born Anderlini, director of the Women Waging Peace Policy Commission in Washington, believes Dobriansky is sincere in her efforts for Iraqi women, but she notes the growing rifts in the U.S. administration.
State Department May Lack Enough Clout
"We might have the State Department saying one thing, but you have to bear in mind the level of their influence," she says, pointing out that it's the Pentagon running Iraq's reconstruction show and that officials there have said nothing about involving women.
In fact, one of the first agencies already up and running, the coalition-appointed legal team currently developing a new legal code for Iraq, is made up exclusively of male lawyers and judges.
The administration dismisses concerns about the lack of women's participation. Officials hail the success of their first town hall meeting, where delegates adopted 13 principles, including a role for women.
"The meeting in Nasiriyah was only the first, only the beginning of a complex process to help Iraq in its transition to a representative democracy," a State Department official said when asked about the poor showing of women. "Given the dark, political background and the fact that the closing statements from this first meeting in 25 years placed as number five a goal that Iraq must be building in diversity, it is magnificent."
And while the upcoming series of town halls in Iraq are still likely to want for women, at least Washington will be flooded with them this week when the State Department hosts a two-day conference on how to promote female leadership in Iraq.
