Paris Hilton wants to be Tarantino's next 'Bride'
The blonde says that she loves Tarantino's films and believes he is the only director who can showcase her acting talents properly. "I've always preferred doing reality shows to acting because I can just be myself, but he's the director I'd do it for," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
"I want to be his next 'Bride' like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill," she added.

This is a recipe for a yummy and quite different Indian carrot salad, adapted from a recipe of our beloved Jamie Oliver. Cumin goes fantastically with anything sweet – see my mango chutney recipe! –the same applies here with the sweet, raw carrots. The lemon juice adds zing and acidity, ginger and the coriander and mint a freshness and perfume.
I think you'll like this. Serve with meat or fish, for example with spiced lamb cutlets, or just on its own.
Ingredients (serves 4):
1 pound carrots, peeled
A small bunch fresh coriander, chopped (leave the tender stalks in – they contain the majority of coriander's flavour. Chop off the very bottom thick bits of stalk, leave the top tender ones.
A small bunch fresh mint, leaves picked and chopped
For the dressing:
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 small red onion, peeled and sliced very thinly
1 lemon, zest and juiced
1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
Olive oil
1. Heat a small frying pan on medium high heat, don't add any oil, and when it is hot throw in the cumin seeds and toast, tossing frequently, until they are darker and fragrant. Their scent should be strong and a faint smoke is sometimes visible from the pan. The point of toasting spices is to release their flavours, so this is what is happening here. Once toasted remove from the heat, cool and grind into a powder in a pestle and mortar, or by putting in a freezer bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
2. Slice the carrot very thinly in long strips using a mandolin slicer or just a peeler.
3. To make the dressing: place the lemon zest and juice in a dish and add the onion, cumin, ginger, salt and pepper and about 4 seconds worth of glug of good olive oil. Whisk up with a fork to combine.
4. Toss the carrots in the dressing until combined. Add the chopped coriander and mint and stir in. Taste – add more lemon juice/salt/pepper according to taste if needed. Serve!

Who the heck does the Editorial Board meet with, anyway?
Attentive readers of this blog know that we keep monthly tallies of the columnists we publish on our op-ed pages to assure that those pages are roughly balanced between conservatives and liberals. Every now and then I publish those numbers here.
I posted the numbers on the blog originally in the somewhat naive belief that it would answer en masse one of the most commonly asked questions we get on the Editorial Board – which is usually some variation of Why Do You Publish So Many (@*$($)%$)&% Raving Liberal/Rabid Conservative (your choice) Columnists?
In reality, all it really did was spark debate about who is a conservative and who is a liberal, etc. C'est la vie; let's not go there today. (In June, for you die-hards, we published 34 liberal columnists and 31 conservative columnists. So far this year, we've published 434 such columns and the difference between the liberal and the conservative tally is less than one percentage point.)
But this blog post really isn't about that. It's about another one of the most commonly asked questions we get about the Editorial Board, which is some variation of: Who Does the Board Meet With?
The short answer is anybody who asks. But that's not entirely accurate.
We meet with individuals or groups who ask to meet with us about issues that we're likely to comment about on the Editorial pages. We give priority to state and local issues that are timely and relevant to our readers. We also reach out ourselves and invite people to meet with us who have information or perspectives on issues we're likely to editorialize about.
These meetings can be pretty sporadic. We might have a couple of meetings each day for several days in a row and then we might go for several days without a single board meeting. It all depends on news trends, public controversies, newsmaker availability, etc.
Not all board members attend every board meeting; we try to spread around the assignments and play to natural interests/expertise whenever possible.
Our busiest time of the year re such meetings is election season, of course, when it's not uncommon for us to interview in something like 30 different races in five or six weeks. It gets intense.
Fortunately, June was much calmer than that. And so far, July looks like it will be, too. Here's a list of who the DMN Editorial Board met with in the month of June:
Congressman Joe Barton of Ennis re reflections on his latest year in office and goals for the next.
Congressman Michael McCaul of Austin re Boston marathon bombing and West chemical explosion.
Indonesia's Ambassador to the U.S., Dino Patti Djalal, re U.S. understanding of his country and his understanding of ours.
Rick Halperin, director of SMU Embrey Human Rights program, re 500th Texas execution.
Museum Tower officials:
Steve Sandborg, VP, Sales & Marketing, Museum Tower
Greg Greene, original developer, Museum Tower; chairman, Turtle Creek Holdings
Lyle Burgin, original developer, Museum Tower; partner, Brook Partners
Communities Foundation of Texas: Brent Christopher, President and CEO, re the state of Texas philanthropy.
Janis Monger and Deborah Fowler, Texas Appleseed, re Dallas County truancy issues
New Consul General of Mexico Jose Octavio Tripp re his goals and aspirations for the office.
Mike Miles, DISD Superintendent, fourth quarterly meetings with us since his appointment last summer.
Public Citizen about safety-inspection concerns regarding Texas portion of Keystone XL pipeline
Tom "Smitty" Smith, Director, Public Citizen – Texas
Rita Beving, Dallas County Emergency Response Planning Committee member
Evan Vokes, former engineer of TransCanada

Because we're all pressed for time and money, I thought I'd share this simple craft for fall. It's great because you can bring new life to your children's old T-shirts, and it costs less than five dollars. All you need is an old T-shirt (or something you find at a thrift store) and a bleach pen (be sure to get the one meant "for whites.") I'd recommend this craft for kids old enough to follow directions and those that enjoy art projects, because this one takes just a little bit of patience.

Is your learning-disabled child getting along with his teachers and his classmates? Is she developing strong friendships? Enjoying her after-school activities?
No matter how your son or daughter is faring, winter break is a perfect time to take stock — and to think about parenting strategies that will make the second half of the school year even more rewarding and productive than the first.
Here are a few points to consider:
Teacher communication
Finding out whom your child spends time with will give you a better idea of her social and academic progress. Ask the teacher whom your child eats lunch with, if she raises her hand to ask questions, if he's keeping his desk neat.
Don't hesitate to share your concerns as soon as they arise. Some teachers are happy to receive calls or e-mail from parents. Others prefer to send notes back and forth in children's folders. However you communicate, let the teacher know how much you appreciate her help and insight.
Family time
Spending time with parents and siblings is essential for reinforcing social skills—exercising self-control, sharing, expressing feelings, reacting to failure, and so on. It also gives parents an opportunity to give kids positive feedback about good behavior.
Extracurricular activities
Soccer on Wednesdays, karate on Fridays, Scouts on Saturdays...sound familiar? Extracurricular activities are a fun way for kids to learn key social skills, such as taking turns and sharing. But children, like grownups, need some unstructured time to rest and regroup.
One young patient of mine was signed up for a different after-school activity each day of the week. By the time Friday rolled around, she was exhausted. She talked it over with her parents and decided to drop everything but drama and art—her favorite activities. She became happier and more agreeable—and so did the rest of the family.
Think about which activities make sense for your child. Some ADHD kids have trouble with sports that require close teamwork and intense concentration, like soccer or basketball. Such kids might fare better with swimming, tennis, or another individual sport.
Weekend fun
Excessive down time can also be troublesome. Long stretches on Saturday and Sunday can turn into "hot spots" for kids who are accustomed to the school day's structure. Taking a trip to the movies or a museum—or simply enjoying a favorite DVD at home—can go a long way toward keeping a child on track over the weekend. Of course, it's also important that your child has friends to play with. It used to be easy to scare up a play date on short notice. These days, parents and kids alike are so booked up that it pays to plan days, or even weeks, in advance.
Positive attitude
Give some thought to what you need, as well. A vacation for just you and your spouse? A babysitter who's "on call" one night a week? An occasional massage or a new outfit might help. Parents who take care of their own needs find it easier to take care of their child's.

Christian grumbled to himself under his breath as he paced back and forth along a random hallway. He was bored; there wasn't all that much for the patients to do if they weren't artistically or musically inclined, which he certainly wasn't. "What I wouldn't give for a chalkboard." He groused under his breath. His boredom coupled with the fact that he was sober and celibate for nearly a month weren't exactly helping his foul mood. What he wouldn't give for a bottle of booze. Hell, he'd settle for that piss Americans called beer, he was that desperate. He briefly considered heading over to the nurses' station and seeing if he could convince them that alcohol was a medicine that he desperately needed. Never mind the fact that he did desperately need alcohol, he doubted they'd see it that way.
With a rather loud muttered curse that had a passing nurse jump and glare at him for his rudeness, he headed to the common room. Maybe he could find paper and a writing implement. He was bored, and when he was bored and sober, his mind tended to drift in one of three directions - fucking, boozing, or physics. The first two often went hand in hand, but he rarely exercised the third because he was rarely sober enough to warrant the immense amounts of thought required for it. The common room was about normal with a few equally nocturnal entities hanging around. After a bit of searching, he found paper. Finding a writing implement was harder because this was a mental hospital.
Cursing under his breath, he headed to the arts and crafts room because they usually had something to write with. He was quick in and quick out because he detested pianos. They reminded him of Suzie; she could play piano, and it brought back memories of just sitting back, relaxing, and listening to her play. Tears prickled in his eyes as he fought back his anger and his sadness for her death. It may have been twenty years, but on never quite gets over their murdered wife.
Once back in the common room, he settled into an unoccupied chair and started to write, working through various laws of physics and changing the variables. Other people worked sudoku or did crosswords; Christian worked physics problems. As far as a coping mechanism went, it occupied his mind and kept his wife's death off the top of his head.

She had been in the arts and crafts room mainly because she�d found an extremely interesting talent. It seemed if she wanted to bad enough, she could rearrange molecules. That was interesting. She�d touched a pencil earlier and had managed to turn it into this sticky crap that she now had to clean up. Kind of like a weird goopy paint type substance.
That reminded her of painting which could have been interesting, just to see what she could turn it into if nothing else. She was quite interested when she took a bit of blue paint and took a bit of it in the palm of her hand. Before she could open her hand, she had turned her gaze over to see some guy entering the room. She could smell the tears and offered a curious look. When she opened her hand she found a blue tissue from the paint that was once there.
Well, that was oddly handy. Her eyes moved from the tissue and back to the guy who had just entered and watched as he moved out of the room and into another. She followed his scent a couple minutes later to the common room, the tissue once in her hand now discarded. She could see something on paper in front of him that she just� did not understand at all and kind of didn�t want to understand. Not daring get too close, she did near him and speak.
�If you�re intelligent enough to do shit like that, why the hell are you here?�
Sure it probably came across strongly, but she was honestly curious and that was the exact way she wanted to phrase it to get her point across. What was someone that smart doing in a place like this?

He was just starting on the equation for time passing in space in comparison to earth when a female voice interrupted him, or at least he assumed she was talking to him. He didn't see anyone else working complicated physics problems. He frowned slightly at her question. What did intelligence have to do with mental sanity? He couldn't think of an answer to that question.
He twisted around with an annoyed expression, both for being interrupted and for being asked such a stupid question. The girl in question was of the beautiful but deadly sort. And she was completely useless to him as anything other than a good fuck because she too was a vampire. He made it a point not to drink vampiric blood. For some reason, it made him sick to the stomach. He wasn't entirely sure if it was some sort of weird allergy or if vampires couldn't drink vampiric blood.
Rather than deeming her question with an answer he settled on leering at her. Vampires were always interesting because they were usually rather evenly matched in the strength department, and it was harder to toy with their lust. Of course, he wasn't especially known for his blood-drinking, so she'd probably win in a dominance fight. Unless she was a closet submissive. Either way it would certainly be interesting.
"I am here to fix a sex addiction." And an alcohol addiction, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder. Of course, he doubted his sex addiction was ever getting cured since he had an incubus for a doctor.

She caught the annoyed expression she was shot, and simply offered a stoic glance in return. Over the years she�d learned not to particularly give a damn about the opinions of most others. Most because there was a certain couple she did genuinely care for the opinions of. This one however, at the moment anyway, she couldn�t have honestly cared less about. Momentary entertainment is what he was, and nothing more.
A fleeting conversation really. She was actually amazed it had gone this far. Dealing with Punk for so long she was actually amazed at his serene response. She was actually expecting him to stand up and lash out at her. When he didn�t but simply offered that he was here for sex addiction, she offered the most curious of looks.
�You�re a vampire� and here for sex addiction?�
There was something that didn�t add up. Since vampires� at least the bulk of them fed on human blood they needed a high level of charisma, which included the ability to seduce. Humans were at their weakest when they were aroused or better, in the act. She thought to just pass it by as some random comment. She knew ifs he dwelled on it she�d get a headache.
Was he one of those nutso vampires who preferred animals? She never would understand that at all. Of course her sire wasn�t an animal-feeding vampire or anything, so.

"Is there a problem with me being here for a sex addiction?" Christian asked with a raised eyebrow. He got the feeling that she wasn't impressed by that. Then again, most people weren't. Most people were a bit leery about vampires with sex addictions since he had been known to kill people during bloodlust. That was sadly a side affect to his less than stellar drinking habits.
"I mean, I know most vampires don't have to resort to sex to feed, but it's really the only way I can." Mostly because by that point he was too far gone to care that he despised the taste and texture of blood. Of course, usually he had gone for quite some time without blood that his body's needs overruled his taste buds, so it didn't matter one way or another.
His annoyance had vanished just as quickly as it came, which in and of itself was an annoyance. His moods only seemed to skyrocket around when he was sober. When he was blasted, his moods tended to point in one general direction and stay there. His lack of alcohol was getting to him, he knew. As much as he hated to say it, he was practically normal when he was drunk, as opposed to now when his thoughts kept jumping from one subject to another and he had difficulty sitting still.
"I don't suppose you would know where one could acquire alcohol, would you?" He asked mildly.

When he asked if there was a problem with his being here for sex addiction, she had shaken her head slowly. Wasn�t a problem with her, she certainly didn�t care. Why should she anyway? It�s not like it affected her one way or the other� yet. The day if affected her was the day she�d start caring.
When he continued on to say most vampires didn�t need to resort to sex to feed, she couldn�t help but offer a small, barely visible grin. It lasted but a moment though before it vanished. Her favorite way to feed was to find some mortal male and seduce him. Not for his pleasure, but for her own honestly. Why not be pleased and feed at the same time?
Maybe she just embraced what she was a little better than he, she had no idea.
�Never said anything against it, did I? It�s actually a favorite method personally. Hence the incredible curiosity, since I never did see it as a problem.�
Honesty was the best policy, right? When he asked if she happened to know where one might acquire alcohol, she couldn�t help but offer the smallest of sadistic simpers. She slipped off for a moment to ask a nurse for a bottle of water, which she wasn�t hesitant to offer. She opened the cap when her back was turned toward the nurse and tipped it just slightly, touching the water with her finger just slightly. She moved herself back to the sex addicted vampire she�d just met, sniffing the bottle briefly.
All those hours of practice paid off it seemed, and she was all too pleased with herself at the moment. She recapped the bottle before handing it over. This could get interesting in a manipulative sort of way. He wanted alcohol and she could make it happen. She smelled amusement in the future.
�Clear. Relatively odorless. Enjoy.�

Christian found himself wondering why she was even talking to him, since it was reasonably clear that she wasn't really interested in what he had to say. Still, he wasn't complaining. He was beyond bored at this point, and she was mildly interesting, so he didn't plan on trying to run her off anytime soon. It was also interesting to note that he had no real desire to get into her pants. She was certainly pretty enough, but there was something...off putting about her. It may have been her lack of interest; it may have been something else.
"It's my only method." He muttered under his breath. While he wasn't embarrassed about the fact that he rarely fed properly, he didn't exactly go around advertising it either. "I was a sex addict before I became a vampire. It...carried over, I suppose."
He watched with interest as she snagged a bottle of water from a nurse and did something to it. He couldn't quite make out what it was she was doing to it, not did he really care. When she handed it to him, he sniffed it casually. It wasn't water, that much he could tell. Tentatively he took a sip. It took all of his willpower not to spit it back out all over her.
"It's alcohol alright." He gasped out. He would almost drink blood to get the alcoholic taste out of his mouth. "It's rubbing alcohol." He couldn't help the giggle that escaped him. That was actually pretty funny, and although he didn't mean to laugh at her, he couldn't help it. "Perhaps I should have been more specific," He said amidst the giggles, "beer, liquor, whiskey, other unnamed alcoholic beverages!" Abruptly he stopped laughing. It didn't seem quite so funny now.
Great, I'm losing my mind.
That thought depressed him.

When he had stated, muttering, that it was his only method she hadn�t said anything. She looked fairly amused though, all things considered. When he�d mentioned that he had been addicted before being turned, she couldn�t help but offer the smallest of grins. She couldn�t help but have a few memories floating back to the surface at that mention from him.
�You wouldn�t be alone.�
No she had been too, still was honestly. Never did consider it a problem though, since it was something she�d highly enjoyed since she was sixteen. That said and done though, the moment he brought up alcohol, her interest in him increased ten fold. She was so hoping she�d gotten it right but the moment she saw the unmistakable look of disgust she knew something had gone wrong. That made her spirits plummet.
She was angry, not with him but with herself. If she had to steal a dozen cases of water she was going to get this right, she swore it to herself. Sugar� sugar was an important ingredient wasn�t it? Perhaps if she threw a bit of sugar in with� or better just grabbed a soda from the little bitty fridge. Maybe that would do the trick too.
Add one thing to a mixture and it changes the entire chemistry. When he laughed, she felt frustrated, not with him but with herself. Helping the doctors out wasn�t exactly something she had been intent on doing. She was determined to make this right. Moving herself to the mini fridge, she had grabbed a can of pepsi and opened it.
Same as she�d done before, she�d touched the liquid before setting it back in front of him yet again. Guinea pig anyone?
�Hey, this is a new talent. I discovered it last night. Don�t ask me how; I don�t want to have to explain. I will get this right!�

"What, in being a sex addict? Probably not." He answered wryly. "It makes therapy sessions interesting, I'll give it that." He actually looked forward to therapy sessions, now that he had figured out that his doctor was an incubus and therefore easy to convince to have sex. Although one had to be careful. Apparently vampiric life force drained incubus' or something. He had done that to one of his roommates a few years ago. Nothing quite like waking up next to a corpse.
He had been a sex addict since he was a teen, god that had been so long ago, he'd all but forgotten when exactly he'd first discovered that sleeping with someone helped. Sex had just been an added bonus at that point.
He could tell she was angry, but he wasn't sure if it was at himself or her. Not that he particularly cared. He wasn't the sort of guy that really cared about much of anything anymore. He had cared once. It had cost him his wife, and had nearly cost him his daughter. Never again, he had vowed to himself. He would never again allow his emotions to be used against him.
He was less enthusiastic about her second attempt at creating alcoholic beverages. While it was reasonably better tasting than her first attempt, it was quite clear that Se had no idea how alcoholic beverages were actually made.
"I have an idea. Figure out how to make beer before trying this. If you can perfect that neat little trick, you could make yourself one of the most important patients here." He doubted he was the only alcoholic. If she figured out how to make beer, or even drugs, there was very little that she wouldn't be able to do because some of the patients would do anything for their next high.

She had yet to meet with the doctor, but she�d heard he could be quite entertaining. Perhaps she should schedule a meeting with him soon and see for herself just how interesting he happened to be. Seemed like a good idea to her anyway. The second beverage she had offered had also been shot down almost as quickly as the first at Christian�s suggestion of learning how to do beer first and going from there. She had no doubt in her mind she could very well be an incredibly important addition if she could figure that and drugs out.
This was something she was probably going to devote almost all of her free time too until she figured it out. There were no limits if she could just figure out how the hell to make the stuff that was needed� or desired. It was just going to take practice. She swore the first alcoholic beverage was going to Christian for being her guinea pig� and because she didn�t drink. But more importantly he deserved
for being tortured twice.
�Guess I should apologize.�
Hey she�d admitted it was a newfound talent. It was just� yeah going to take a little bit of time. He was right though, start small. Though she wasn�t sure that was necessarily his point. Perhaps starting by diving into her table of elements would be a good start.
She wondered briefly if the library had any such type of books. She would have to make a note to look later on in the night.
�Once I figure this thing out you�ll have a gift for you. In the meantime, I�m Akala. Your name is?�

Christian was reasonably certain that if she knew how to actually make beer, she could probably make it better using whatever it was she was using. The problem was that it had been years since he'd made his own beer. He had gotten himself a beer making kit as a teenager, and while he didn't remember everything, what he did remember was that it took a lot of time, and there was sugar and yeast involved. How it was actually done, however, was beyond him. He wasn't so great at remembering that far back. Besides, it had been somewhere between thirty and forty years ago.
"I did used to make my own drinks, back in the stone age." He commented to her. "I've forgotten how, though." Besides, it was easier to just buy a bottle of strong liquor to drink.
He grinned widely at her. "No need." He didn't mind too much. His taste buds had pretty much been shot to hell with as much alcohol he had consumed over his life. "There is literally nothing I wouldn't do for you if you were to actually succeed at making bottles of alcohol."
"Nice to meetcha Akala, I'm Christian." He introduced himself. "Since what brings you here?" Especially since he was fairly certain he had seen her in the Rec room when he'd gone in to collect a writing utensil. He wasn't going to accuse her of stalking him, however. God knew he did enough of that himself. There was no need in being hypocritical.

When he mentioned making beer at one point way back when, she couldn�t help but offer a small simper. Just a slight one though, nothing big. What she could do was a little better than throwing hopps into a barrel and letting it vegetate for a while. All she needed was the molecular compound. And of course a little more practice couldn�t possibly hurt anything.
When he continued on to say there�s literally nothing he wouldn�t do for her if she were to succeed in making bottles of alcohol, she couldn�t help but offer a grin.
�I know.�
She couldn�t help but be honest in that moment. Hey at least he knew she was already figuring out how to manipulate alcohol and drug addicts. It was just making the things they wanted that was going to be the only obstacle that needed to be overcome. When he had stated his name, she nodded in response. When he had asked what brought her there, she thought for a very brief moment.
�Antisocial Personality Disorder and Post-Traumatic Personality Disorder.�
Oh yeah both had been super fun, especially simultaneously. Because dealing with them separately would just be way too much like something she could actually handle.

Oh dear, it was entirely possible he had just started a trafficking ring inside of a mental hospital. That didn't bother him in the slightest. If she succeeded in this little venture, he would turn a blind eye to just about anything. Not that he wouldn't in any case, but it was the principle of the matter. The thing about making beer was that it took a helluva lot of practice before one perfected the process.
"PTSD. Fun stuff." He commented wryly. He had that himself. "I've got that. Hence the alcohol addiction, sex addiction, and Bipolar Disorder." He wasn't entirely sure what Antisocial Personality Disorder was, but it sounded like she didn't like being around people, so he'd probably just go with that explanation.
"I wasn't actually referring to that, I was referring to the common room since I'm pretty sure you were in the Rec room a few minutes ago." He could care less why other people were at a mental hospital, but if they were going to share, so was he. Christian was not ashamed of his disorders and didn't mind spreading them around. Especially since there were those that thought it was cool that he was a sex addict. Of course, they usually regretted that when he left them nearly dead from blood loss.

She couldn�t help but think something along a similar line, and honestly wasn�t upset by it in the slightest. It was definitely going to take some time to figure this out but she�d get it. Not like she ever really slept anyway, so she had all the time in the world to figure it out. Well, when she wasn�t in therapy anyway� or trying to get laid. When he said PTSD and fun stuff, she offered him an
are you serious
look, though catching the sarcasm.
�Bipolar sounds entertaining.�
Not really, again sarcasm. She�d known a few with bipolar disorder, and things could definitely get� interesting to say the very least. Those up and downs sometimes just� drove her absolutely nuts. She couldn�t help but be a little curious as to just how bad his was.
�Medication for bipolar by chance?�
At least that way she�d know if she needed to keep his bipolar in mind at a later date or not. When he mentioned her in the rec room a little bit ago she had nodded.
�Ah you meant here specifically, in this room. I caught your look right before you left. It caught my eye.�

He flashed her an innocent look at her unamused one. Clearly she hadn't been impressed by his sarcasm, not that he really cared. He had ceased caring what others thought about him a long time ago. He did recognize her own sarcasm, however. Apparently she wasn't above using it herself. There was hope for her yet. Eventually she might even become a semi-interesting person.
He deliberately ignored her sarcasm and took her word at face value. "Oh it is interesting!" He said brightly. "The high points are awesome and the low points are suicidally depressing." Although anyone who actually knew him would call him anything but suicidal. Christian was far too terrified of dying to ever consider killing himself. There were very few things that he knew he would never do in order to stay alive if the situation called for it.
"Haven't needed it yet." He shrugged. Or if he had, he didn't know about it. Considering the alcohol he consumed, it was entirely possible that something like Bipolar medication ha completely slipped by. "Generally speaking, my moods just kind of bounce around on a whim." He wasn't too bothered by that either.
"Pianos." Christian shrugged. "They're so boring they make me cry." He was lying about that, of course, but he figured that it was none of her business why pianos really made him cry.

Marijuana not kosher for passover
Jewish Week
March 30, 2007
In case you were wondering, marijuana is not kosher for Passover.
That ruling comes from Israel's Green Leaf Party, which sent an alert to members warning them of hemp's possible kashrut problems.
"We are warning our people not to eat anything with hemp products if they follow the practice of kitniyot on Pesach," said party spokesperson Michelle Levine. "We are considering announcing a ban on everything containing hemp just to be on the safe side. We are going with the rabbis on this. People should remove all cannabis and hemp from their homes."
Hemp fits into the category of kitniyot, which includes beans, and is forbidden by most Ashkenazi authorities during Passover.
Of the dozen rabbis whom The Jerusalem Post questioned on this issue, none offered a conclusive statement about how hemp should be classified for Pesach. As Rabbi Daniel Kohn of Bat Ayin explained, the issue ultimately boils down to an individual decision by each rabbi about whether hemp seeds themselves could be considered edible. If a rabbi decides that the seeds are edible, then hemp and, by extension, marijuana would not be considered permissible for Pesach.
Hemp clothing remains OK.
Levine, meanwhile, said one of the party's main arguments for cannabis legalization was biblical references to it. "We would like to ask people if it's listed as not kosher 'for Pesach,' [doesn't] that mean it must be kosher the rest of the year?" said Levine.
Matzah balls
or Easter eggs?
When it comes to intermarried couples, Christian partners are comfortable with Pesach, but Jewish partners have no such affinity for Easter, according to survey results issued this week.
Perhaps the blood libel has something to do with those attitudes.
The third annual Passover/Easter survey by InterfaithFamily.com, an organization that promotes intermarried couples making Jewish choices, looks at the holiday behaviors and attitudes of 236 interfaith couples raising their children solely as Jews. The survey shows that the springtime holiday dilemma brings up the same issues as the Christmas-Chanukah conflict, with some subtle distinctions.
Seventy-eight percent of the Christian respondents look forward to Passover, according to the survey, while only 13 percent of Jewish respondents said they look forward to Easter. More than half, 51 percent, of the Jews said that participating in Easter celebrations made them somewhat or "very uncomfortable."
How influential
Three local rabbis have made it onto a list of the 50 most influential rabbis in America. (We're kvelling, but shouldn't there be more from the nation's capital?).
This list, which appears this week in Newsweek, was put together by Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton, Newscorp's Gary Ginsberg and JTN Productions' Jay Sanderson, with a system that gives points for such questions as: Are the rabbis known nationally/internationally? (20 points); do they have a media presence? (10 points); do they have political/social influence? (20 points); and have they made an impact on Judaism in their career? (10 points).
The three admit their judgments are subjective.
Making the list from Greater Washington are, at No. 10, Bruce Lustig, Washington Hebrew Congregation; No. 16, David Saperstein, director of the Reform movement's Religious Action Center; and No. 41, Sid Schwarz, founder and president of Panim: The Institute for Jewish Leadership and Values.
Lustig says he's flattered to be not just on the list, but ranked so highly. He credits the opportunities he's had working with both Washington Hebrew and the Abrahamic Dialogue he created with Episcopal Bishop John Chane and American University Islamic studies chair Akbar Ahmed for leading to his rank.
And, he says, he doesn't know the three people who created the list, but he found the scoring very interesting.
The No. 1 rabbi is none other than the Simon Wiesenthal Center's very quotable Marvin Hier.
Supersized matzah oven
There must be a better way to make matzah than this. A bus, in the backyard of a home owned by a chasidic rabbi in Spring Valley, N.Y., was turned into a huge matzah oven, fueled by wood and a gas line extended from the house, according to the Associated Press. Police were called to the house after a neighbor smelled smoke, but it was unclear by press time whether the rabbi had to dismantle his oven, or was able to make adjustments to keep it legal.
Today, I am
a man (woman)
A mass b'nai mitzvah ceremony of some 1,000 immigrant teens from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) was scheduled to take place today at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, as they celebrate the completion of a period of intensive learning about their Jewish heritage.
Four-thousand guests were expected, and at the ceremony's conclusion, pairs of tefillin, candlesticks and copies of the Tanakh (Bible) were be handed out to the young people.

Book Review: Ring of Fire
by: Heather Huffman
Ring of Fire by Heather Huffman is a love story that doesn't quite feel like one. Joey and Alexandra don't even like each other when they first meet, and throughout the adventure they get under each other's skin in a way that is reminiscent of a middle-school crush. From the first few pages of Ring of Fire, you are thrown into a dizzying race to stay ahead of the villains trying to end Alex's career and the life of her young Princess friend, Lani.
Alex is a brilliant scientist who is studying clean-energy alternatives on Lani's South Pacific Island, when a big oil company in the U.S. catches wind that valuable minerals are in the soil that Alexandra is studying. The powerful company stops at nothing to make that island theirs.
The chemistry between Alex and Joey, Lani's keeper, smolders through the every chapter. Although they annoy each other unlike anyone else can, they also possess an insane desire for one another. Because so much is at stake, however, they cannot indulge those kinds of feelings. Instead, they must focus on keeping Lani safe and her island out of the hands of the greedy oil company. There is no time for love when you're trying to stay alive and find the answer to the geological mystery that could save the island. The romantic tension builds with each turn of the page!
I found myself cheering for each character as they pursue a true solution that works for all involved. Except, maybe, for the crooked gem hunters. After reading this, you will definitely find yourself a Heather Huffman fan and seeking out her other titles!
Heather Huffman writes novels featuring strong and smart female characters who are relatable and real. She uses her passion for writing to make a positive impact on the world. Working to create awareness of modern-day slavery, a portion of all of her royalties goes to support organizations that fight human trafficking.

[b]Cassini Delivers Holiday Treats From Across The Solar System[/b]
No team of reindeer was necessary for these holiday treats from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. A beam of radio signals, from clear across the solar system, has delivered a Christmas package of glorious images of Saturn's largest, most colorful ornament, Titan, and other icy baubles in orbit around this splendid planet. These treats are being featured today in a public release from the mission's imaging team.
The [URL=http://www.ciclops.org/view_event/167/Holiday_Treats_from_Us_to_You]release includes images[/URL] of satellite conjunctions in which one moon passes in front of or behind another. Cassini scientists regularly make these observations to study the ever-changing orbits of the planet's moons. But even in these routine images, the Saturnian system shines. A few of Saturn's stark, airless, icy moons appear to dangle next to the orange orb of Titan, the only moon in the solar system with a substantial atmosphere. Titan's atmosphere is of great interest because of its great similarities to the atmosphere believed to exist long ago on the early Earth.
While it may be Christmastime and wintry in Earth's northern hemisphere, it is currently northern spring in the Saturnian system and will remain so for several Earth years. Current plans to extend the Cassini mission through 2017 will surely beget a continued bounty of scientifically rewarding and majestic views of Saturn and its moons and rings, as we spectators are treated to the passage of northern spring and the final arrival of summer in May 2017.
"As another year traveling this magnificent sector of our solar system draws to a close, all of us on Cassini wish all of you a very happy and peaceful holiday season," said Carolyn Porco, Cassini imaging team lead at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

Termites are the single biggest threat to your home.
Termites cause more damage every year then all natural disasters combined. Termites cause over 6 billion dollars worth of damage in the United States every year. Termites are masters at avoiding detection, remaining completely hidden within the walls and wood while doing their worst damage. Termites cause an average of $8,000 in structural damage before the homeowner even detects them. Damage that most homeowners insurance WILL NOT COVER.
Once termites infest your home, on average it will cost well over $1,000 just to eliminate the termites (excluding the damage). Due to new technology Rhode Island Pest Control is now offering a proactive program to protect New England homeowners against the attack of Subterranean Termites for the low cost of just $699. Complete with a one year guarantee and a lifetime extended warranty.
The time to act is NOW, before they cause damage.
With Rhode Island Pest Control's program a technician will come out to your property and perform a thorough inspection of your home. He will then treat the entire perimeter; paying close attention to the areas most conducive to a termite infestation. The whole process takes about an hour depending on the size of your home and what the technician determines is needed to properly protect it.
Rhode Island Pest Control guarantees every component of our service. This means that you do business with our company absolutely risk free.

When we think we learned something new, we are quite proud of it. But it wears off quickly for an unknown reason. So, what is wrong with what we do? When you start to think about the things you learn, and what the reason or purpose actually is, then you have to wonder sometimes "is it really something new we just learned". Because having in mind to learn something new can be quite exhausting at times. Maybe we have to start to think about this in a different way, and take a different approach in discovering new things. It is like a treasure hunt, imagine that we are all "pirates" looking for an adventure or treasures. Obviously our life is about searching for something, but most of the time we don't even know what we are looking for. We do this quite instinctively, maybe we are preprogrammed in a way and we are not aware of it. But when you find out "who we are", then everything seams to make sense. Our entire world (Universe) stands on myth and mythology (including our history), making us wonder if it is real. Lets look at life in a different way. Learn more about our history, maybe we can learn from old things our ancestors already new, and then set that aside and try to find your own way. You most certainly will see things with different eyes. This is what our life is all about, it is a soul search where the experience we have along the way is the reward (treasure). In Australia the Aboriginal people are most likely a candidate for such an idea. They go on a regular "Walkabout", which literately means looking for something. They might find something which can be worth bringing home as an idea for which the whole community can benefit from. This is what a walkabout is all about, looking for something which is useful, and has a value in the community. After all we are constantly occupied by making a living or providing for our needs. The westerners actually practice the same thing, we call them the "Backpackers". People who go and see other parts of the world, enjoy the diversity and beauty of nature, as well as other cultures and traditions. Yes, we can learn something old, have a lot of fun and it can be quite rewarding. This book was taking shape, based on an ironic thought; "How much knowledge there is, and we know so little". How come we know so little? We know all the most complicated things there can be, but we know very little of what life is about. What is the cause for all things? How does it all work? What is the reason? And last but not least; How do we fit into everything? Is it possible that we have taken valuable information from ancient Greek knowledge, but ignored one of their most important practices "the philosophy of all things". Has everything to us become scientific or important because sciences can explain the real world. Have we forgotten that this real world we live in comes from a mystical source (something unseen). Something we call a different dimension because we can't possibly explain it. It is such an exotic source, that it would take a lot of ancient knowledge to discover the truth. Do you want to discover the truth? This book might have some answers.

Who would have thought?
I am not for moral victories or counting chickens before they are hatched. Let's get that all out of the way here early.
I am not for reading meaning into sample sizes that are too small or trends that are not complete enough to leave room for regression.
I have grown up following the NHL, and one thing that they say every year around the league is that we need to wait until the Holidays and see what sort of team we have. The implication there is that by Christmas and New Years, you are about 40% of the way through your schedule and your warts will have appeared. Teams hate to make any major moves prior to the holidays because sometimes those moves are unnecessary if you are patient enough to allow things to normalize a bit.
But here we are. At Christmas.
And the Dallas Stars are tied for the top spot in the Western Conference.
To suggest that you could have received some rather long odds on this in Vegas back in the summer when the Stars biggest move was to acquire Adam Burish, well, that would be a bit of an understatement. We all love Adam, but the NHL was not rocked by that signing.
But, the Stars, for the most part flying under the radar, have gone about their business without doing much...other than collecting points over and over again.
In fact, heading into the Christmas break (if that's what you call no games for 48 hours), the Stars have grabbed points in 14 out of 16 games. The game early in the month at Chicago and the game at Phoenix are the only nights with no northward movement in the standings. Shocking, surprising, and wonderful all at the same time.
I have to believe this start is all Dallas Stars fans wanted for Christmas. Oh yes, we can continue to hope Santa Claus buys the team before the trade deadline and perhaps drops a young version of Derian Hatcher down the chimney, too, but are you kidding me?
So, why has everything started to go right for the Stars? There are actually a ton of statistics that are very fun to review over this stretch from roughly Nov 16 to Christmas Day. There have been some great advancements in a lot of areas, but I have one for you.
One that is so dear to my heart, that I wrote an entire blog on it back in October when I was convinced that it was taking the Stars down - the Penalty Kill.
Here is a passage from that essay:

Fed's Decision to Hold Rates May Spell QE3, Standard Life Says
The Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates near zero through at least mid-2013 will boost equity markets and may herald a third round of quantitative easing, according to Standard Life Plc.
"There's evidence of policy makers taking action, and that's very important," Keith Skeoch, chief executive officer of Standard Life Investments, said in a call with reporters today. "The signal that interest rates are staying down for a long period of time also opens up the prospect of further policy action through QE3 if for some reason growth should fade."
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke provoked the most opposition among voting policy makers in 18 years as three colleagues disagreed with the decision to give a specific date to the central bank's low-rate pledge for the first time. The STOXX Europe 600 Index rallied as much as 2.2 percent today, the biggest gain since September 2010.
"It was an appropriate move and very well-designed in bolstering sentiment and giving a long-run signal," said Skeoch, who runs the investment arm of Scotland's biggest insurer. "It should be helpful for markets in the next couple of days."
Standard Life Investments manages 157 billion pounds ($255 billion) of assets and owns 2 percent of the U.K. stock market.
Slowing global economic growth, Standard and Poor's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and a failure to resolve the euro-zone debt crisis have pushed the MSCI World Index to its lowest level since September 2010. The FTSE 100 Index briefly entered a bear market yesterday after falling 20 percent from its high in February.
"We've obviously been through quite a difficult period when markets are mainly driven by fear and panic," Skeoch said. "Equity markets are discounting zero corporate growth if any. What you're beginning to see is the emergence of value. The triggers for that value to emerge will take a little while to come through."

The Final Barrier: Keeping California's Water Clean
Residents of Southern California, it's up to you. You are the last man standing, the end of the line, the shining beam of hope, the guard of protection, the lighthouse in the storm…I think you get the picture. You're it. You're the final barrier; the final barrier against harmful contaminants that unknowingly circulate in your pipes when government measures fail to catch them (which happens all the time!). That is, they fail to catch them until it's already too late… So buckle-up, hunker-down, and get ready neighbors. Let's keep that stuff out!
The director of the Water Quality Association, David Haataja says, "While we rely on public agencies for initial treatment, the best way to ensure safe drinking water is by empowering ourselves. By putting protection in our homes we can offer the Final Barrier against contaminants." In 2012, the state of California left over half a billion dollars in federal funding for safe water unspent. The funds were targeted for infrastructure improvement and the treatment of safe drinking water for residents. Overrun with other problems upon which to focus (though what can really be more important than water?) the government simply cannot be trusted to clean our water anymore; it has to become a personal responsibility.
A 2012 study confirmed that nitrates in drinking water were the cause of birth defects including spina bifida and missing limbs for newborns in the San Joaquin Valley, CA. What if this were your child? Or what if you lived in San Juan Capistrano, CA where drinking water didn't pass 2012 water quality tests – but you didn't find out about it until a year later when the failing results were finally published in the water quality report distributed in July 2013? Sadly these stories are being told more and more often. Trusting residents just didn't know. And by the time they'd heard about the contamination it was months and months, perhaps even a year too late. Filtering your water either at "point of use" (POU) or "point of entry" (POE) is the only true guarantee that your water is safe for consumption.
Nothing is more basic than clean, safe water. No matter where you live or how clean you believe your water to be, educate yourself to know for sure. "Final Barrier" filtration systems – either POU (counter-top filtration, reverse osmosis systems, shower filters) or POE (whole house systems) are available for every home and budget. We offer a wide array of whole house systems HERE, as well as all types of RO machines and counter-top filtrations at our shop. Remember the most trusted guarantee for healthy drinking water is the one you give to yourself.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Two Canadiens- One Up, One Down
by Paul on 12/12/08 at 03:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Allan Muir of Sports Illustrated,
Since joining the team on Nov. 29—not coincidentally, the last game before Latendresse began his exile—D'Agostini has four goals in six games and his energetic play has revitalized linemates Saku Koivu and Andrei Kostitsyn. It's folly to think he can maintain this offensive pace, but 20 pounds heavier and two years smarter, he's equipped to do all the little things that turn a prospect into a pro. At this point, a job is his to lose.
The same can't be said for Latendresse, who seems ill prepared to handle his struggles. His confidence shot and his opportunities limited, he's likely to remain on the outside looking in.
Could Latendresse have benefited from a more cautious route to the pros? Watching D'Agostini make the argument nightly, it's hard to think otherwise.
Also, in the KK Member Blog a few days ago, Slasher98 weighed in on D'Agostini too.

Anchors Aweigh! Abdelkader oversees re-enlistment
Thursday, 04.26.2012 / 3:52 PM ET
By Bill Roose - DetroitRedWings.com / The Wheel Deal

That's what made Thursday's re-enlistment ceremony at Joe Louis Arena so special for the Warren, Mich., native, who graduated from Lincoln High School in 1998.
Standing on a red carpet and about the precise spot on the ice where Karen Newman sings the National Anthem prior to each home game, Mazurek's swearing in ceremony was officiated by Wings forward Justin Abdelkader.
"This was amazing as I've been a lifelong Red Wings' fan having grown up down the street," said Muzurek, 32. "I used to come to a lot of the games and I've watched them in Spain, from Africa, and off the coast of Iraq on a ship."
Abdelkader, who grew-up in Muskegon, Mich., and flew with the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels last July was delighted to administer the oath of re-enlistment to CPO Mazurek.
Abdelkader and goalie Jimmy Howard are set to leave this Saturday for Finland where they will represent Team USA at the 2012 IIHF World Championship.
"My enlistment contract was up and I reenlisted for six more years in the Navy," said Mazurek, who enlisted 14 years ago. "The world travel is my favorite and the stability that it provides in a struggling economy and the training on the most high-tech equipment that you can think of. It's amazing."
Mazurek and his family will remain in Michigan until mid-November when they will move to Virginia Beach, Va.

Cost overruns on one city project have put another project in jeopardy.
The Meridian City Council approved a $10 million bond issue four years ago to pay for the renovation of city hall and the building of a new police department.
But new Mayor Cheri Barry says the cost of city hall has already well exceeded that money, leaving nothing for police department construction.
The mayor says building a new police station is a priority of hers and new Police Chief Lee Shelbourn.
But because there is no money for it, Barry said plans to look for other resources to get the project started. She plans to use a team of city grant writers to try and pull together funds.
Along with not having the money, Mayor Barry says the location selected by the previous administration hasn't been purchased by the city and she isn't sure it is the best location anyway.
As for city hall, in the end, Barry said she believes it will total around $16 million to $18 million in renovation costs. Work is expected to wrap up in another 20 months.

One of the most popular trends in the modern world of tattooing continues to bloom and this is of course the demand for floral body art designs, not least because of the physical beauty involved in these but also for their highly symbolic nature. There are many different shapes, sizes and colours of flowers to choose from so this means an abundance of choice for those seeking one that suits them perfectly. If you are interested in body art of this kind, but want a flower that is less common than some of the more widely requested designs, then why not look into ideas for a sweet pea tattoo. This particular flower symbolizes departure and blissful pleasure.
Since Victorian times, flowers have been used as a means of communication through their symbolism and this is known as the secret language of flowers, from which the expression "say it with flowers" originates. When it comes to body art, a sweet pea tattoo has various meanings associated with this from delicate pleasures and bliss, to departures and farewell thank you's. It is also associated with young children and babies in particular, so it was widely used as a decoration for everything from blankets, bibs, clothing and other baby products. If you were attending a Christening or baby shower, taking a bunch of sweet peas with you as a gift would be very apt, symbolically representing the event being celebrated. As body art, it would be also be a suitable and more individual way of commemorating the birth of a child.
If you are interested in getting a sweet pea tattoo you may want to know more about the history of the flower itself. These originated in Siciliy where they grew in the fields before their popularity spread across Europe and it was in 19th Century England that these really came into prominence. Thanks to its delicate fragrance and the variety of different colours, it became the floral phenomenon of the Victorian era. These come is red, pink, lavender, blue and white and were used in everything from bouquets and corsages to button holes and table pieces. In our modern world gardeners have managed to create a hybrid yellow sweet pea that has been somewhat elusive due to genetic factors, which mean a true yellow can only be created with meticulous engineering and hybridization. If you want body art that is more unique and perhaps expresses a seemingly elusive achievement then this could be the perfect floral tattoo for you.

Fed Clarity On Tapering May Pull Emerging-Market Investors From Sidelines
Emerging-market investors are hoping for a break from the dollar rally as they look ahead to a critical Federal Reserve policy statement Wednesday.
If the Fed hints that scaling down its stimulus program isn't imminent, that could create an opportunity for fast-falling emerging-market currencies to bounce back, analysts say. Most of these currencies were under sharp pressure early Wednesday on the back of positive U.S. economic data, which kept in place some expectations that Fed tapering could happen as soon as September, analysts said.
The Turkish lira and South African rand were down 1% against the dollar, for instance, while Brazil's central bank intervened in the market to prop up the beleaguered real.
For years, emerging-market currencies benefited from the Fed's ultra-low interest rates and easy-money policies, as investors went on a hunt for yield outside the U.S. But the currencies that thrived as the Fed worked to stimulate the U.S. economy took a hit in recent months after Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated that the Fed could begin tapering its massive bond-buying program, called quantitative easing, later this year.
Wednesday's statement from the Federal Open Market Committee, due at 2 p.m. ET, may give emerging-market investors a clearer picture of the Fed's plans. Simply knowing when the tapering is likely to start could be enough to pull some investors off the sidelines, analysts said. The later it is, the more positive the reaction could be for emerging-market currencies.
Many analysts have said this week they expect the Fed statement to reflect the dovish tone offered up by Bernanke in recent appearances, including congressional testimony in July, when he said the economy needs accommodative monetary policies "for the foreseeable future."
"What [the Fed] will try to do is not to rock the boat," said Daniel Tenengauzer, head of Americas research at Standard Chartered in New York.
If that happens, analysts say some recovery among emerging-market currencies could take place, after volatile trading in recent months has made it hard for investors to time their return to the asset class. A steady or slightly dovish tone from the Fed Wednesday could draw some investors to wade back into emerging-market currencies and bonds, Tenengauzer added.
Analysts say the largest reactions could come from the currencies of so-called current-account-deficit countries, like the Indian rupee, Brazilian real and Turkish lira. These currencies are most vulnerable to Fed guidance because they rely so heavily on foreign capital flows to fund their current account gaps.
"If you have higher U.S yields, it's harder to refinance [those] deficits," said Guillaume Tresca, emerging-market strategist with Credit Agricole.
So if Fed tapering is perceived as being less imminent, look for currencies like the Turkish lira, Brazilian real, South African rand, and Indonesian rupiah to see gains, he added.
However, analysts warn there is still a risk of a hawkish slant to the statement, which could weigh on these current-account deficit currencies and others.
There is "the risk that the official voice of the FOMC departs from the dovish tone adopted by the Fed chairman recently, thereby surprising a number of investors in the process," said Benoit Anne, global head of emerging-market strategy at Societe Generale in London, in a note Tuesday.
If that happens, he expects some of the more heavily traded emerging-market currencies to be hit the hardest, including the Mexican peso and South African rand. The Russian ruble, Hungarian forint and Polish zloty could also suffer, he said.
Standard Chartered's Tenengauzer also said investors should expect more volatility and weakness in emerging-market currencies if there's a "hawkish twist," but he doesn't expect these currencies will dive as sharply as they did during the selloff in May and June. For instance, he said a more hawkish Fed statement could drive the dollar above 13 Mexican pesos from MXN12.8472 currently, but not to the highs of nearly MXN13.5 per dollar as seen in June.

SAN JOSE -- The blueprint has completely changed, but San Jose State's offense may have found the spark it needed.
The Spartans rediscovered their lost running game -- using a stable of backs who weren't even on the depth chart at the start of the season -- in their win over Hawaii. It was the type of balanced approach first-year coach Ron Caragher has said he wanted, but this represented the team's biggest commitment to the ground game.
After averaging just 26 rush attempts through the first four games, SJSU more than doubled that total with 55 in the 37-27 win over the Rainbow Warriors.
The three tailbacks who led the attack, as well as fullback Shane Smith, are all freshmen who weren't in the conversation when fall camp began.
"This is a great learning lesson for the future," Caragher said Monday. "The tailbacks who contributed Saturday night, at the beginning of the year on the depth chart were 6, 7 and 8 with a guy who wasn't even listed on the depth chart."
That's how much things have changed for SJSU (2-3, 1-1 Mountain West). Starting running back Tyler Ervin remains sidelined with a high ankle sprain. His backup, Jason Simpson, the starter for the previous three games, participated only on special teams against Hawaii after an injury kept him out of practice during the week. He was available as a running back only in an emergency situation.
The next two backs, freshman Osirius Burke and junior Alvin Jelks, are also injured. The No. 5 running back coming out of spring practice, Jalynn McCain, transferred to Houston.
It's a situation that's truly testing Caragher's motto of "Next Spartan up," but it seemed to work Saturday. Tim Crawley, Jarrod Lawson and Thomas Tucker -- all freshmen -- combined for 230 yards on 45 carries.
"That just shows you've got to work, got to prepare so you're ready when your time comes," Caragher said. "Those guys did a nice job."
The ground game was needed, as quarterback David Fales and the passing attack were a mixed bag. Fales threw two interceptions for the third straight game and completed a career-low 46 percent of his passes, but he did have 318 yards and three touchdowns.
"We needed this, for our morale, to get it going in the Mountain West," Fales said after the game. "We knew what was at stake, and we got it done."
But SJSU isn't breathing a sigh of relief just because it took down winless Hawaii.
"You never take a sigh of relaxation in this game," Caragher said.
The Spartans conclude their toughest travel portion of the season when they visit Fort Collins, Colo., on Saturday to face Colorado State. A trip to the thin air of Colorado a week after visiting Hawaii makes this a tough test.
The Rams (2-3, 0-0), who have lost to SJSU the past two seasons, are fresh off a bye week and three weeks removed from a meeting with No. 1 Alabama in which they trailed just 17-6 early in the fourth quarter.

Accordian Relief
Designed for disaster relief, the Recovery Shelter can house a family of four for a month with eco-friendly components, is cheap to produce, easy to produce, transports, configurate, and is reconfigurable, and adaptable to multiple environments. The shelter can be set up by a single individual in minutes, and collapsed into either of two configurations (horse-shoe or flat). And its made of 100% polypropylene, hence the recyclability.
The ridges of the Recovery shelter, created by its accordian-like design, can collect drinking water, and the structure can be covered in local materials for better insulation.
Shelter for the disaster ridden aside, the Recovery Shelter would make one bitchin' camping tent.
From designers Matthew Malone, Amanda Goldberg, Jennifer Metcalf and Grant Meacham.

This looks identical to some of Bucky Fullers temporary tank repair sheds. I believe he had patents on the products. Some of his designs had five sides instead of the three shown here, but with the identical folding technique. This resulted in a more compact collapsed object and more stability.

Android ported to C#Posted Monday, 9 July, 2012 - 15:51 by flopoloco
After the change of management in Java technology, it's freedom was compromised also. This led Oracle and Google in epic court battles. Xamarin was the force that shaped the success of Mono Framework and now they even went one step ahead to create totally new Mobile Operating System based on C#.
I hope that Google find it interesting and soon switch to it, I am glad I use C# and even more OpenTK, which is the leading cross platform OpenGL solution.
One problem is what is going on with Android applications written in Java if transition occurs, perhaps they could also run in the CLR?

I thought that android doesnt use java internally, you compile it to binary format before uploading it to the device. So one can use any language but compiler must exist.
And I think monodroid and monoitouch (or what these names are), do the same, compiles c# to different binary formats and then one can upload these to right devices (unfortunately these are quite expensive for indie developers, $399 ..)
For more information see Dalvik VM, it's very similar to JavaVM but it's better optimized in deployment aspects.
I have used only Mono Touch so far, your source code is compiled into binary files shipped along with the Mono iOS runtime, also an XCode project is generated that loads all of these, ready for deployment to store. I guess the same goes for MonoDroid. This is the reason why C# succeeded into breaking through mobile development, but having Mono support integrated to the operating system is something else. Could make things even easier, too early though to make a statement.
Also about the cost, in the first months of using MonoTouch is thought that the licence was a big problem, but then by using each technology I see that is humanly impossible to deploy to 3 platforms, too much workload almost make it a dream for an indie developer, the benefits of a single codebase (and correct principles like MVC) lower the cost in any case.
