Boys and Their Toys: Understanding Men by Understanding Their Relationship with Gadgetsby Bill Adler
"The key to understanding men is in understanding how they relate to their gadgets. Just because they may seem to show more interest in their computers. . . or their remote controls... or their fancy watches or their power mowers or their stereos... doesn't mean that their toys are really the most important things in their life. In Boys and Their Toys, bestselling author Bill Adler, Jr. explains how men use toys to assert their independence and freedom, relieve stress, connect to their lost childhood, and even express their nurturing side (without having to admit it). Written in Adler's fun, humorous style, the book reveals how women can: * learn how a man's interest in particular ""toys"" can be used to predict his behavior * know when a guy's passion for gadgets crosses the line into obsession and what to do about it * take advantage of the human-gadget relationship to improve the human-human relationship Smart and funny, Boys and Their Toys helps readers understand what makes their men tick. . . and grow closer with them in the process. "
Dianaby Bill Adler
In between her fairy-tale wedding and her premature death, there lived the most beloved royal presence of our century, surely as multifaceted as any celebrity of our time. The radical twists and turns in her brief life drew the fascination of millions. Yet the most photographed woman in the world was also the least quoted--her actual words were seldom heard, and never gathered, until now. This unique book is the result of a scrupulous worldwide search for every one of Diana's significant quotes. Upon reading this collection, one will find that behind her shy veneer dwelled a woman of extraordinary resourcefulness, stamina, and, perhaps above all, vulnerability. In fact, her open frankness about the events and people around her is both disarming and startling. The reader will discover the sharp clarity, endless warmth, and ready wit that she brought to her legendary life in this intimate self-portrait. This is the closest we will ever get to an autobiography from the People's Princess.
The Eloquent Jacqueline Kennedy Onassisby Bill Adler
As her own words prove well, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis could be at times funny, buoyant, candid, irreverent, and of course poignant, too. This collection of quotes shares her thoughts on marriage, family, political life and ambition, publicity, privacy, and more as she confided them to intimate friends, family, and interviewers alike. Memories of her childhood, her love for Jack, her children and grandchildren, the Kennedys, her often misunderstood marriage to Aristotle Onassis, her years as a widow, and her later companionship with Maurice Tempelsman are all represented here, as are some rather remarkable correspondences with the Johnsons, the Nixons, and the Khrushchevs. A sampling of her wit and wisdom: "I was a tomboy. I decided to learn to dance and I became feminine." "Well, I think my biggest achievement is that, after going through a rather difficult time, I consider myself comparatively sane." "When Harvard men say they have graduated from Radcliffe, then we've made it." "If Jack proved to be the greatest president of the century and his children turned out badly, it would be a tragedy." Forty years ago, when the nation was coming out from under a period of mourning, Bill Adler edited The Kennedy Wit and in so doing helped the world remember a man and a president, not just a sorrowful event. To commemorate the tenth anniversary of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's death, he has edited yet another book of quotes celebrating life -- this time the life of Jackie. The accompanying DVD documentary is considered by many to be the definitive film biography of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and was produced by CBS News Productions for Arts & Entertainment Network.

Kids' Letters to President Bushby Bill Adler
Bill Adler, compiler of bestsellers such as Kids' Letters from Camp and Kids' Letters to President Kennedy, is collecting children's letters to the president in which they ask political, personal, and poignant questions; give advice; and tell the president about themselves."Did you always want to be president, or did you ever want to be a real person?" "What do you and Mrs. Bush talk about when you have dinner?" "What will you do after you are president? Will you write a book and make a lot of money like the other presidents?"

Letters from Vietnamby Bill Adler
"No heroes, everyone did their part, and everyone was scared to death." They are the words of soldier Mark W. Harms in 1968, summing up his combat experience during the Vietnam War. His stunning letter home is just one of hundreds featured in this unforgettable collection, Letters from Vietnam. In these affecting pages are the unadorned voices of men and women who fought--and, in some cases, fell--in America's most controversial war. They bring new insights and imagery to a conflict that still haunts our hearts, consciences, and the conduct of our foreign policy. Here are the early days of the fight, when adopting a kitten, finding gold in a stream, or helping a local woman give birth were moments of beauty amid the brutality ... shattering first-person accounts of firefights, ambushes, and bombings ("I know I will never be the same Joe."--Marine Joe Pais) ... and thoughtful, pained reflections on the purpose and progress of the entire Southeastern Asian cause ("All these lies about how we're winning and what a great job we're doing ... It's just not the same as WWII or the Korean War." --Lt. John S. Taylor.) Here, too, are letters as vivid as scenes from a film--Brenda Rodgers's description of her wedding to a soldier on the steps of Saigon City Hall ... Airman First Class Frank Pilson's recollection of President Johnson's ceremonial dinner with the troops ("He looks tired and worn out--his is not an easy job") ... and, perhaps most poignant, Emil Spadafora's beseeching of his mother to help him adopt an orphan who is a village's only survivor ("This boy has nothing, and his future holds nothing for him over here.") From fervent patriotism to awakening opposition, Letters from Vietnam captures the unmistakable echoes of this earlier era, as well as timeless expressions of hope, horror, fear, and faith.
Outwitting Squirrels: 101 Cunning Stratagems to Reduce Dramatically the Egregious Misappropriation of Seed from Your Birdfby Bill Adler
The 48 million Americans of all ages who enjoy feeding wild birds and spend more than $3 billion a year on bird food alone all share a common enemy--the squirrel. For 25 years, Outwitting Squirrels has been leading the charge to help bird lovers defend their feeders from these fast, greedy, incredibly crafty creatures who pillage birdfeeders before owners' very eyes. This classic defense manual for the besieged bird feeder has been fully updated to deal with the more tech-savvy, 21st-century squirrel. It provides 101 cunning strategies, both serious and hilarious, for outsmarting these furry, but not so cute, creatures. Author Bill Adler Jr. discusses the different bird personalities and the best seed to attract them. He rates birdfeeders based upon how squirrel-proof, or squirrel-vexing they are, and discusses creative anti-squirrel structures and devices. Spooker poles, Perrier bottles, baffled fishing line, Teflon spray, Vaseline, water bombs, cayenne pepper, and Nixalite--the author has tried them all and he regales readers with his squirrel adventures and misadventures.
The Quotable Giulianiby Bill Adler
"If you've got a problem with New York City being the capital of the world, take it up with the Pope." As the mayor of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani was as controversial as he was determined to revitalize "the greatest city in the world." Never one to pull punches, he did things the way they had to be done, not the way everyone else thought they should be done. But during the chaotic aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, Giuliani's courageous actions and bold decisiveness propelled him from his place as the leader of a city under siege to the beloved Mayor of America. On that day and for many days afterward, he stood up and spoke with strength and compassion -- and for that he will be remembered by not only New Yorkers, but all Americans. Now, in his own words, readers can experience the wisdom, inspiration, and genuine "New Yawk" attitude that have brought Rudolph Giuliani from the tough streets of Brooklyn to the carnage of Ground Zero and into the annals of history.

The Reagan Witby Bill Adler
Legendary for his clever gibes, bits of wisdom, and ability to laugh at himself, Ronald Reagan endeared himself to the public from the moment he entered the political arena. Few presidents have been so frequently quoted for their one-liners or quick comebacks. Now, for the first time, The Reagan Wit offers the Reagan humor in hundreds of quotations, both famous and unfamiliar, from every phase of his life, all in his own words. Following Reagan through his youth, college years, military service, acting career, two terms as governor of California, presidency, and post-presidency, The Reagan Wit takes a look at endless priceless moments. Included here are well-known gems like Honey, I forgot to duck (after the assassination attempt on him) as well as lesser-known but equally entertaining statements such as, Im not worried about the deficit: its big enough to take care of itself, capturing the charm that has made Reagan a revered figure. Whether hes playing a mischievous college prank, cajoling his staff members, or jousting with the press, The Reagan Wit gives an all-encompassing and hilarious portrait of Reagans remarkable comic timing.

SimpleTest is Drupal's custom testing framework. During the Drupal 7 development cycle SimpleTest has become an integral part of the workflow, and it has been moved into core as the Testing module. It has significantly enhanced the way core is developed and made it possible to make major API enhancements with confidence. In Drupal 6, it is known as the SimpleTest module and it lives in the contributed repository.
Drupal 7 HEAD is much more stable than any release we [have] ever had. -chx
Drupal 7 has seen major benefits from embracing the testing framework.
Tests in Drupal core are usually one of three types:
- Functional tests are most common. They create a fresh database installation and specifically create data for the test in the database and then make assertions based on expected results.
- Unit tests work without a database installation in the backend and are useful for isolated functions that don't make assumptions about the larger system.
- Upgrade tests use a database dump from an earlier version of Drupal and import that to run update.php and then check assertions.

I received this e-mail from New Buffalo Superintendent Mark Westerburg, and he raised some interesting points on a variety of school issues that have been discussed the last week.
He said it would be OK if I shared his thoughts with Head of the Class readers.
"At what point is someone going to say that big districts don't function well? If Detroit, Grand Rapids, Flint, Saginaw are saving money it is at the expense of education of the students.
"One of the primary reasons schools of choice and charter schools were created was to give parents decisions about where to send their students, apparently the flavor of the day is now centralized control to save money.
"If the state would stop trying to micromanage local schools and set some standards for maintaining a school, it would fix itself. The lower performing district list is very clear and should be the focus of concern. I propose they spend their resources on the district who student fall below the 70 percent proficient status.
"The local vote of the community should control the destiny of a district, not Michigan Education Department.
"The state can't decide if it want us to operate like a business or a puppet. If they want schools to function like a business, stop the micromanagement and central control because MDE has more rules and forms than the Environmental Protection Agency.
"I am all for accountability and believe we should be held to standards set by our student performance and accountable to the community for how we spend our funds. Using this logic the local municipal governments should consolidate to save money as well.
"Maybe the University of Michigan should take over all the colleges so everyone could graduate from U of M. 'Oh wait, where would the $20,000 a year per student come from.'
"The real problem is the economy is down and Michigan has an old-school industrial base model that needs to change just like many other states.
"In a school district of growing unemployment and free and reduce lunch students maybe the 50 million could be used for creating jobs."
Starting with his first point, Flint has about 14,000 students, and Saginaw has about 9,500. I have to ask if it their size that makes him believe they don't function well, or the people running the schools or the challenging population they serve.
Forest Hills has more than 10,000 students, Kentwood is not far from there and the Rams are catching up. I don't think anyone would say that those districts don't function well.
Superintendent Westerburg, like others, calls for communities to be in total control of their districts. But the problem then ensuring across-the-board quality.
In light of our series on consolidation, a colleague was sharing a story about a wonderful program her high school's guidance department used to help students prepare for college. I asked why students in Grand Rapids didn't get that same treatment.
Michigan had tremendous gaps in support from one community to another, and the argument was that your ZIP code shouldn't determine the quality of your education.
As for the $50 million in incentives for schools to consolidate or share services, state Superintendent Mike Flanagan told me he considers that an investment, and that the state could save hundreds of millions of dollars over time.
I'm assuming that Superintendent Westerburg is talking about saving jobs of people living in his district, as opposed to district employees.
If there are operational savings in consolidation, the theory is that districts won't have to cut programs or classroom staff as state money continues to shrink.
I thank the superintendent for sharing his thoughts, and always welcome a good discussion about schools.

Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.) are among the most foolproof of garden vegetables, simple for novices to grow and reliable for almost every gardener. They're such a garden basic that many creative gardeners have developed new and unusual ways to grow them. As long as they experience warm air and enough moisture, cucumbers thrive in any number of planting methods.
The simplest way to grow a cucumber vine is to plant the seeds in the ground and allow the vine to sprawl all over the garden. Most gardeners plant the seeds in a hill, a slightly raised area that holds three or four plants. The vines spill down the short sides of the hill and grow unchecked in any direction. While this method takes the least amount of work, the yield may be the lowest, because the cucumbers grow on top of the dirt and are subject to rot and a greater number of pests from the ground.
Backyard chain-link fences seem to be made for cucumber vines. Suburban gardeners have been taking advantage of these natural trellises for decades. The seeds are planted in a row at the base of the fence, and the vines twine readily up to the top. The small fruits grow all over the surface of the fence, up in the air away from many pests. The yield from this method can be much greater than that from hills, and the fruits tend to grow straighter, instead of bent or curled, because they are hanging in the air.
Upside Down
Upside-down tomato planters have been popular with container gardeners in recent years. This planter allows the plant vine to grow out of the bottom of the planter, allowing a gardener with little planting room to grow a crop up in the air. While this method can produce cucumbers where there is little room for planting, these planters usually need frequent watering and may end up too heavy to stay in the planter if there is a particularly good crop.
Creative gardeners with small children can entertain the kids while simultaneously growing a bumper crop of cucumbers. A tepee-shaped frame of bamboo poles is the framework for an unusual child's summer playhouse. Plant one or two cucumber seeds at the base of each pole, and allow the vines to grow upward and cover the structure. Garden twine wound around the structure adds additional support for the vines, and the interior of the frame eventually becomes a cool and shaded spot for a little one's play space.
Gardeners with little or no in-ground gardening space often turn to container gardening as a planting solution. Cucumber vines grown in a container do well when a trellis is planted in the container along with the cucumber seeds. Growers have developed cucumber plants specifically for container gardens; they have shorter vines yet produce the same amount of food as the full-sized version.

Corey Rawlings is looking to do bigger and better things for the Patriots' football team this year.
Rawlings, a rising senior, has been a standout for the Fort Dorchester varsity baseball team since his freshman year but he joined the Patriots' football program just last season. His only prior experience in the sport was the two years he spent as a linebacker for his middle school football team.
"I just wanted to give football another try so I did and it was fun so I stuck with it," Rawlings said. "I feel I'm getting better every day. Baseball is definitely my sport but it's fun to do something else. Playing two sports allows you to experience more."
His baseball frame wasn't ideal for a Class AAAA linebacker so the Patriots' coaches moved him to the receiver position and worked him out as a punter.
The team already had a lot of talent at the receiver position so Rawlings saw limited time with the Patriot offense last season. He did start three games at the position and had one reception, a 16-yard TD catch in the Stratford game.
His contributions as a punter were far greater. Rawlings punted the ball 42 times in 2012, averaging 37.3 yards per punt. He pinned 12 punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line. His longest punt was 93 yards and he didn't have a single punt blocked all season.
His kicking performance led to him being named the Patriots' 2012 Outstanding Special Teams Player as well as to the 2012 All-County Line all-star team.
That success carried into the baseball season when Rawlings went 5-3 as a pitcher and for the third consecutive year finished the season with a batting average over .400. As a baseball player, Rawlings has earned all-state honors for three straight seasons. Last spring he was named the Co-MVP of the Patriots' baseball team.
Soon after the end of the baseball season Rawlings shifted his focus back to football. All summer he and many of his teammates maintained a rigid workout schedule, coming to the school several times a week to condition.
Their workout routine began with weight lifting, followed by wind sprints. Then players broke into groups for position-specific training.
But for Rawlings that didn't mark the end of his workout. After he was done running routes with the other receivers he stayed on the field to work on his punting.
"I don't mind because I feel I can improve at all those things if I work at it," he said. "I want to do whatever I can to help the team be as successful as possible. My personal goal is to contribute in every game in some way that helps us pull out a victory."
If his performance during the Patriots' first scrimmage of the summer is any indication Rawlings stands to be an impact player this season.
"He was a part of six touchdowns in that scrimmage," Fort Dorchester coach Steve LaPrad said. "Corey has a lot of athletic ability so we are hoping for big things from him this year."
Rawlings played as both a quarterback and receiver in the scrimmage against Camden. He threw a TD pass, made three TD receptions and rushed for two TDs. One of the scoring receptions netted 60 yards.
Last year marked the first time since LaPrad took over the Patriot football program that the team did not make the playoffs. That hasn't set well with the players returning to the team and Rawlings says the Patriots are out to prove they are a playoff-caliber team.
"We are psyched about this season," he said. "Coming off a disappointing season last year we were all eager to get back to work. We have some talented athletes and everyone is ready to get out there and play."

a doctor or a technician as long as you keep striving you will eventually
achieve your goals. If you can't afford to go to college the Navy provides
a way to get an education, and support and you get to do a lot of traveling.
(I saw half a dozen countries before I was eighteen.)
Future Goals
I plan to stay in this job as long as it continues to be fun. I think
I might like to teach fourth or fifth grade science at some point.
Building models is something I enjoy doing in my spare time. This is actually
not that different from what I do at work, with scale model of an airplane.

It's said the word was coined by Japanese journalist Nobuyuki Takahashi in 1984 when he wrote a feature about US fans dressing up for a masquerade (a combination of a skit show and fashion parade for people in cosplay costumes) at a science fiction convention in Los Angeles. Since then, the term has caught on and it's now inconceivable for an anime convention anywhere in the world not to have a substantial cosplay element to it. At the ultimate level there's the World Cosplay Summit held annually in early August since 2003 by the Aichi Broadcasting Company in Nagoya with participants from up to fourteen countries. The main events are a cosplay parade in the Ōsu district and the championship show itself, held in the public areas of Oasis 21. Read More

Sometimes they are to post that I thought never got posted because after I posted them I could not see them. Then I go to the board to reply to the post and my post and the post that replied to mine are not visible. It's pretty frustrating. However this is in reply to a post about TA by Doc.
I use TA for short term trends, not for anything that is more than say 3 months. For that I use fundamentals. I look at short term trends as being associated with market sentiment as stocks become over bought or oversold because of sector rotations or in response to news events that may or may not be relevant to the stock in question.
What people were doing here for some time, where they were betting on cyclical predictable behavior, I do not consider this to be classical TA because it is based on understandable events and the chart is only used as a means to confirm that a repeatable pattern exit. I would not call that a trend but more of recognition of a pattern caused by large spikes in prices due to large dividend payouts and SPOs. For years this pattern seemed to dominate over the market volatility but that was before non dividend investors started to flock toward dividend stocks including mREITs. And I think that these new investors have increased the volatility of mREITs which makes these repeatable patterns harder to exploit, so it seems. My guess is that those trying to repeat past performance using a strategy that worked well when volatility was low will find that the hit to miss ratio is not as good as it used to be. That said, if the volatility returns to what it used to be then I would be inclined to use this strategy myself but not now. I just don't think the current volatility makes it certain enough to justify the risk.
I'm new to dividend stocks myself and frankly I was quite surprised to see that options pretty much ignore these predictable events allowing one to use calls and puts to profit by them. I thought the market was more efficient than that. But I came too late to this knowledge to profit by it as it seems the now higher volatility has killed the golden goose. All I can do is collect the dividend on as portion of my portfolio and watch out for the Fed and what their actions may mean for the future stock price. I'll buy when price to book value is one or less and sell when it gets too high to keep from getting slaughtered.
There seems to be a general consensus market wide that investing in stocks for growth only isn't working like it used to in the past. At least it has not for the last 10 years. The long term buy and hold strategy is dead for now, at least to those who recognize the futility of it. There will always be the Warren Buffet followers who never say die and probably would being doing better with simple interest but are too stubborn to change.
Agree with everything you said. I, myself have noticed now, for the past 18 months, that even the option market is getting harder and that, indeed, it is a rigged game, in favor of the Short option trader.
Hence, I changed my MO and now have 80-90% of my option "in plays" in Short Spread positions. I am on the other side of the Longs who are paying that higher premium, due to that increased volatility you mentioned.
I am wrangling, as I type, to get filled on some short Dec37Puts. They are priced just right and the MM's expect the EX to be B4 OPEX, which gives me great opportunity if management makes the EX date post OPEX. They will automatically reduce in premium by over 1 dollar, at any PPS lower than 35.00.
Evolution on a micro scale. I used to be 99% long options. Mutations, in this lone case, are not, so far, deleterious.....;-)
Good luck,

My heart is broken for Marilyn Monroe, a beautiful actress who was so blatantly used and abandoned.
LEANNE STOVER, Section, Ala.
What more will be unearthed about the virile Kennedy brothers as we continue to exhume the past? At least their father, Joseph, didn't love 'em and leave 'em...dead.
Norwalk, Conn.
I have just two words for those who point the finger at the Kennedys for Marilyn's death: Prove it.
She couldn't act. She couldn't sing. She enjoyed having sex with married men. So why is Marilyn Monroe worshiped?
COLLEEN ROWE, Huntington Beach, Calif.
I got to know Marilyn in 1960, when I was a young screenwriter and she was studying at the Actors' Studio in New York City. Marilyn Monroe, the star, was a creature of the studios and the press. Norma Jean Baker, however, was a girl who suffered the slings of desertion, beginning with her mother, whom she talked about all the time. Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller tried to love her. But the screaming child inside this lovable but insecure human being shut them out when the dark shadow of her childhood terrified her into thinking they had stopped caring.
The thing Marilyn seemed to want more than anything in those last few years was to be able to sleep. Even drugs could not give her the rest she needed. She became tormented by the lack of understanding from her studio, her agent, her doctor and her lovers. It seemed they all wanted a piece of her and when done, dropped her without a proper farewell. It was, again, the same kind of desertion she had felt as a child.
It wasn't the Kennedys, the Mafia, or the Communists who issued the final curtain. It was the lost child, Norma Jean Baker, who silenced Marilyn and finally permitted her to sleep. It would be fitting if we would allow her to do so in peace.
PETER COLE, Zephyr Cove, N.Y.
I hope readers do not get the impression from your sidebar, "One Death, Many Theories," that I subscribe to the theory that Marilyn was killed by her psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson. It is only one of a litany of various theories I address in my book, Peter Lawford: The Man Who Kept the Secrets. By the way, nothing in Marilyn: The Last Take, the new book by Peter Brown and Patte Barham that was excerpted in PEOPLE, has changed my personal belief that Marilyn's death was an accidental suicide.
JAMES SPADA, Los Angeles
Getting back to the farm may have been therapy for Maj. Rhonda Cornum after being sexually assaulted as a prisoner of war in the Persian Gulf. But rape will continue to be a real danger in war should women be allowed in combat. No amount of basic training could prepare women to let their bodies be used in such a manner in the service of our country.
Somers Point, N.J.

We've seen Bruce get divorced, remarry, become a father and form a new band. Only two things haven't changed. He is still the Boss. And I can't get my hands on any front-row seats for his concerts.

Sarah Palin Wanted to Adopt Grandson and Raise As Her OwnSunny Chanel
It sounds like Sarah Palin was not ready to be a grandma. According to Levi Johnston, who is the father of her grandson, Palin had a scheme to adopt her daughter's son and raise it as her own. Does she just like children that much or did she want to try to hide the fact that her daughter got herself knocked up, was unwed and did so at such a young age? Levi told Vanity Fair magazine:
"Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging — she wouldn't give it up. She would say, 'So, are you gonna let me adopt him?' We both kept telling her we were definitely not going to let her adopt the baby. I think Sarah wanted to make Bristol look good, and she didn't want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid."
He continues to say in the interview that the Palin home wasn't what people would think it was like. "The Palin house was much different from what many people expect of a normal family, even before she was nominated for vice president. There wasn't much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn't cook, Todd doesn't cook — the kids would do it all themselves." And he also states that Palin ain't the hockey mom or hunter she claimed she was saying that she rarely went to her son's hockey games and had to ask Levi how to use a gun.
The Palin camp has not commented on this story but had previously discounted Levi's claims.
Do you think these things are true or is Levi just trying to hang onto his 15 minutes as long as he can?

McCann wins National Book Award
Fiona McCann
I always wanted to be able to say that, and now I can, thanks to Colum McCann, who won the prestigious National Book Award for fiction last night for Let The Great World Spin. For his book about a young Irish man and the characters he meets in 1970s New York, McCann goes home with $10,000, a funky bronze statue, and some serious swagger, given that he now joins the ranks of previous winners like Jonathan Franzen, Susan Sontag, Philip Roth, E. Annie Proulx and John Updike. Not bad going. And speaking of awards, John Banville made another shortlist this week . . .

What if the Messiah were alive today? James Frey, author of the massively successful A Million Little Pieces and Bright Shiny Morning, attempts to answer that question in his provocative new book The Final Testament of the Holy Bible (available April 22).
But perhaps even more intriguing than Frey's forecasts about the return of Jesus are his predictions on the future of publishing. The Final Testament will be released in two very different forms: as a $10 digital book and a much lovelier, spendier $50 printed book. Frey also plans to show the book off at an exhibit at the Gagosian Gallery in New York City.
James Frey was kind enough to answer a few of my questions about The Final Testament as a story, a book, and a piece of art.
Amazon: What inspired the controversial concept behind The Final Testament?
James Frey: It's something I've thought about for 15 years. What would it actually be like if the Messiah arrived, or if Christ returned? Who would that person be, how would they live, what would they believe in, how would we recognize them, and how would society react to them? I don't claim to have the answers. I just wanted to tell a theoretical version of the story.[More from James Frey and photos of The Final Testament after the jump.]

New Orleans Police are hosting another crime prevention meeting for Algiers apartment complex managers after police called the kick-off meeting last month a "valuable asset." The meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 2 at the Fourth District police station on Sanctuary Drive.
Commander Brian Weiss has increased his district's focus on apartment complexes as officers try to get a handle on persistent residence, shed and vehicle burglaries throughout the district. Based on crime statistics, burglaries are by far the most common crime in the Fourth District and typically apartment complexes can offer tempting targets because of the large concentration of vehicles in one location.
Last month Weiss met with complex managers to try to get to know them and hear their concerns about the police and crime. He also discussed crime prevention strategies complex managers can employ. Weiss has discussed the possibility of stationing police vehicles in or near complexes whenever manpower levels allow it. The crime prevention meetings may become monthly events.
Interested complex managers should contact the Fourth District at 504.658.6840.

St. John Neumann opened last season with only nine players but still recorded the best year in program history. The Knights broke their record for wins a second straight time and reached the playoffs for the first time.
And that might have just been the start.
OK, it might take a while before that statement becomes fact but good times appear on the horizon again. Just give it some time.
Neumann (0-3) has 14 players out this season so it actually has a bench. Half of those players are freshmen, however, and many of the starters are newcomers. Still, improvement is being made and the future looks bright, especially since the junior high program also is solid.
"If the girls stay together, just think of what we're going to be," Neumann coach Ray Perchinski said. "Once we get a few more games and some practices outside we'll be OK and that's the big thing."
Neumann did not have any outdoor practices before playing its season opener against Bloomsburg. It lost that game 20-8 and struggled defensively, but has steadily improved since. Although the Knights lost 10-0 at Muncy last Tuesday, they showed plenty of promise, playing a solid defensive game. Freshman pitcher Marice Fischetti also scattered seven hits and showed that she too is developing.
Muncy is a HAC-III title contender that was an out from beating Class A state finalist Southern Columbia in last year's district semifinals. Still, the Knights were competitive and did not really struggle until the fifth inning. It was an encouraging upward trend against a good team.
The Knights have some really good players too. Catcher Rachel Danneker is one of the best around. She has a rocket arm and nearly threw out three runners against Muncy. Maddie Dincher is a solid hitter and freshman shortstop Megan Helminiak is coming on strong.
Conditions have been tough for a team that desperately needed ample preseason outdoor practice time. Still, the Knights are making progress. Who knows what the record will be by season's end but it does not matter. The future is where Neumann appears especially strong and that is when it might again make history.
"After our first game I asked the girls what they thought of their first practice outside," Perchinski said. "With what we've had to work with they are doing a nice job. I think we showed that our infield is going to be pretty solid and it's fun. This is why we do it. I like where we're going."
EVERYBODY PLAYS: First-year Muncy coach Chris Ebner really does not have a set lineup. Watch the team's 20 regular-season games this year and one might see 20 different lineups. The Indians have a blend of talented underclassmen and returning starters and that provides a lot of depth.
It also means every player should be ready to go at a moment's notice.
"These young ladies are working hard and I told them other day I'll change lineups all year long. That's what we do and how we do it," Ebner said. "That's what we preach: be ready. I'm not a fan of going with the same nine all year. That starts to make it hard to keep practices going and meaning a lot."
The approach has paid dividends so far. Muncy is 3-0, outscoring those opponents, 30-0. Pitcher Amanda Kustanbauter has allowed just five hits and thrown 17 straight scoreless innings while the offense has been productive up and down. The bench has come up big too as pinch hitters Nikki Scott and Nicole Harer combined to go 2-for-2 with two RBIs against Neumann. All three pinch-hitters Ebner used in that game reached base.
Muncy was an out from reaching states last year and has some good players back from that team, especially at the top of the lineup. Still, the outfield is all new and the Indians are trying to replace more than 250 career starts. The more help they have, the better. That includes Ebner's assistant coaches too who he said also have been instrumental to the team's solid start.
"Everyone is working extremely hard. Every single girl is an athlete and you'll see lineups all year long that are different. It's where you're at going into it," Ebner said. "They are athletes and that's how I treat them. The coaches we have are great and they give me perspectives on different things and I take all input. if I'm missing something I want to get called on it. I don't want to see everything through my eyes."
EXTRA BASES: Liberty started strong last week, routing Sullivan County and Bucktail by a 27-2 combined margin. The Mounties delivered 23 hits in those wins and five players delivered at least one multi-hit performance. Mariah Berguson went 5-for-7 with five RBIs ... Jersey Shore's offense came alive in an 11-10 loss at Milton on Friday. The Bulldogs collected 14 hits and Kayla Allen went 4-for-5 with a triple. Holly Peacock, one of the area's premier players, had three hits and finished a home run shy of hitting for the cycle ... Montoursville (2-1) has won two straight games and pitcher Cayla Treaster is off to a strong start. She has allowed just six runs in three games. She also held Central Columbia to a season-low three runs. That is especially impressive considering the Blue Jays have scored eight and 23 runs, respectively, against 2012 state finalists Warrior Run and Southern Columbia.

This great tit has leucism which gives it a 'washed-out' look
Image: Bev Dillon
Leucistic or 'dilute' birds are abnormally pale
or washed out, although the normal pattern and colour of the
plumage is discernible. This plumage aberration is perhaps more
frequent than any except albinism, though still very unusual.
In erythristic birds chestnut-red replaces
other forms of melanin. The best known example probably being the
rare 'hepatic' phase of the female cuckoo.
Xanthochromism involves the loss of dark
pigment and abnormal retention of yellow pigment, and has been
recorded in wood warbler and yellow wagtail.
Some birds obtain their red or yellow colour from carotenoids in
their diet. Diet deficient in carotenoids can make the bird
gradually fade and become white. The flamingo is a good example of
Conversely, a bird that normally has no red pigment, may assume
an orange or crimson colour if fed on a diet high in eg yew berries
or capsicum.

I am sure you might be wondering why the name of the blog is "Plain Chicken".

If anyone asked me what I was going to order, before I could answer, my brother would chime in with "plain chicken". I was searching for a good name for the blog and I thought "Plain Chicken" fit perfectly. (And, yes, I still order my chicken sandwiches "plain" in a restaurant.)

Bacon-Wrapped Brown Sugar Smokies
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 3 hrs
i take this to our christmas party at work every year, it's expected, and it disappears very fast. no worries about the bacon, it cooks quickly and creates a wonderful sauce w/the brown sugar. and you can prepare it the night before and just plug the crockpot in a few hours before you need to serve it.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 453.59 g bacon
- brown sugar
- 453.59 g package Little Smokies sausages
- toothpick
- cut strips in bacon into 1/3's.
- wrap 1/3 cut bacon strips around each lil' smokie and secure with a toothpick.
- place one layer of bacon wrapped smokies in bottom of crockpot.
- cover completely with brown sugar.
- repeat with layer of bacon wrapped smokies.
- repeat layering until you finish w/a layer of brown sugar.
- cook in crock pot approximately.
- 3-4 hours.
Most Helpful
I make these all the time but I bake them in the oven for about 45 mins. The brown sugar gets alittle carmelized like and crispy in places on the smokies and the sauce is yummy. I have never made them in the crockpot but I would imagine you wouldn't get the crispy carmalized stuff in the crockpot as you do the oven. So just wanted to share in case anyone wants to try them in the oven. They are YUMM!!!!
These were very good. I ended up using about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of brown sugar. I think they cooked 4-5 hours on low and they were great. Sweet, smokey and salty. Thanks for the recipe!
so so good! great for weddings too.

IdleHearts / Samuel Butler
All dogs know what most humans don't that the principle business of life is to enjoy it.
It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not be rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.
People are lucky and unlucky according to the ratio between what they get and what they have been led to expect.
Youth is like spring, an overpraised season.
There are two great rules in life, the one general and the other particular. The first is that every one can in the end get what he wants if he only tries. This is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is more or less of an exception to the rule.
Silence is not always tact, and it is tact that is golden – not silence.
Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Running back Chris Rainey was released from jail on his own recognizance a day after allegedly slapping his girlfriend.
Rainey was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers after his arrest on Thursday morning on a charge of simple battery (dating violence). After spending the night in the Alachua County Jail, he had his first court appearance on Friday morning.
'ABSOLUTE MESS': Retiring Jets coach rips team for mishandling Tebow
He was not required to post a bond, and he was ordered not to have contact with the victim, according to Huntley Johnson, Rainey's attorney.
Rainey, who starred at Florida before being drafted by the Steelers in the fifth round last year, was arrested after a dispute with his girlfriend of 9 months over his cell phone.
According to Gainesville Police, Rainey slapped the woman and pulled her out of a car in an attempt to get his cell phone out of her purse. He chased her when she ran away, grabbing her bag and knocking them both to the ground.
In 2010, Rainey accepted deferred prosecution for misdemeanor stalking after his arrest for texting his on-again, off-again girlfriend of three years, "Time to Die bitch."
In his rookie season with the Steelers this year, he played mostly on special teams. He had 26 rushing attempts for 102 yards and two touchdowns and averaged 26.5 yards on 39 kickoff returns.

The state wrestling tournament began Thursday morning in Hershey. Berks wrestlers took to the mats to begin their quest for state gold at the individual level.
It was the 2A grapplers who kicked things off at the Giant Center. Berks County had eight representatives in the 2A class, but it would be a tough opening round for most of them.
In fact, only two of the eight won their first round bouts. It was a pair of familiar faces, Brandywine Heights seniors Peter Renda and Adam Mackie.
Renda pinned Forest Hills' Zack Pinkas at 1:04 to give him a berth in the quarterfinals.
One mat over, fellow Bullet Adam Mackie scored a 14-9 decision over Penns Valley's Mike Rogers to earn himself a quarterfinal berth.

LSI won't update the BIOS on their SCSI card to support
those new-fangled U320 drives, so I need to "upgrade"
my SCSI card. I want to stay with parallel SCSI, since
I just upgraded the drives, and want to avoid vendors
who don't support their hardware (e.g. LSI). I also
need a low profile card for my low profile case.
Adaptec has a new U320 PCI-E (1x) card - the 29320LPE.
Anybody used it? They claim it works under Linux, but
I've heard that before ... .
Fwiw, I currently use Slackware 11 (2.6.18, I think).

Zig-Zag (company)
Zig-Zag is a brand of rolling papers that originated in France. It is marketed in the USA by National Tobacco, in Europe by Republic Technologies, and in Japan by Tsuge Pipes. The Zig-Zag brand produces primarily hand-rolled tobacco related products such as cigarette rolling papers, cigarette tubes and rolling accessories.
Zig-Zag products[edit]
- Cigarette papers: Made from wood pulp and flax, and uses natural gum Arabic, they come in five sizes. One size is the single wide. This size is often called "the white pack" because of its color. Another size is the size 69 often called "the orange pack" (or "orangies" in some areas) because of its color. The third size are the kings, or king size, also known for their orange or reddish hue, the fourth is 1½ and the fifth is double wide. Usually the white pack and orange pack are sold together in many stores across the United States. In Canada, the most popular size is the single wide, but with "kut-corners". In Australia, the most popular size is King size. There are also varieties within these sizes including Liquorice, Water Resistant, Slow Burning, and Free Burning.
- Cigarette tobacco: Sold in four varieties.
- Filtered cigarette tubes: These are filters for hand-rolled cigarettes.
- Filter cigarette making machine: This is a basic rolling machine, used to roll tobacco into cigarette papers; it provides an alternative to rolling cigarettes by hand.
- Cigar Wraps: Flavored cigar wraps, officially made for use with cigar tobacco.
- Cigarillos: Flavored mini cigars, similar to that of Phillies. Common flavors are mango, grape, and natural.
History of Zig-Zag[edit]
The company was founded in 1879 by Maurice and Jacques Braunstein. Based in Paris, in 1882 the company built the Papeterie de Gassicourt, a cigarette paper production plant near the town of Mantes-la-Jolie. In 1894 they invented the process of "interleaving" rolling papers. They called their papers Zig-Zag after the zigzag alternating packaging process[citation needed]. In 1900, Zig-Zag was awarded a gold medal at the Universal Exposition in Paris.
Success led to expansion in 1919 to a new mill in Thonon-les-Bains. During World War II, the company's original facility in Mantes-la-Jolie was destroyed and at war's end, all production was shifted to the Thonon factory.
With the death of Jacques Braunstein, in the 1950s Zig-Zag was sold to a partnership of the Group Bolloré and competitor JOB. In 2000, Zig-Zag became part of Republic Technologies of which Group Bolloré owns 19 percent.
Captain Zig-Zag[edit]
The zouave soldier portrayed on the front of Zig-Zag products is colloquially known as the "Zig-Zag man". The choice of a member of this French North African regiment as a Zig-Zag icon originates from a folk story about an incident in the battle of Sevastopol. When the soldier's clay pipe was destroyed by a bullet, he attempted to roll his tobacco using a piece of paper torn from his bag of gunpowder.[1]
In an advertising campaign in the 1960s, Zig-Zag published leaflets with the zouave facing the viewer (much like Uncle Sam) and the caption, "Captain Zig-Zag wants YOU!" The reason for using the rank of "captain" is unclear as the Zig-Zag man is portrayed in the fez and embroidered jacket of an ordinary zouave and is not an officer.
In January 1969, a band called "Captain Zig-Zag and the Acid Test" (featuring a lead guitarist who was a lookalike for Captain Zig-Zag) was the warmup band for Led Zeppelin's Whisky a Go Go debut (Alice Cooper was also on the bill).
Counterfeit Zig Zags[edit]
In recent years Zig-Zag has had issues with counterfeit products.[2]

Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants was able to speak with Mats Zuccarello about his recent decrease in ice time…
"Guys go through ups and downs," Zuccarello said after this morning's optional skate. "Obviously, almost all the (injured) players are back so I get less time on the ice. All players want to play as much as they can but I do the best I can. I just have to stay positive. I try to pay attention to everything out there. It's exciting, too. It's like watching a game on TV but with better seats. Obviously, if we win, it doesn't matter."
MZA's ice time has gone from an average of about 15 minutes per game down to a season low 8:24 against the Kings last night. Zuccarello has 3g, 11a in 24 games this season.
…this was a topic of conversation when I was on Blueshirt Banter Radio the other night. If MZA is only going to get 8 minutes a night should he be sent back to the Whale so he can get first line minutes? I think that answer depends on what the organization's plan is for this team. If they want to develop young players at the NHL level he needs to be getting ice time over players such as Wolski, Prospal, Avery (hurts to say it) and Fedotenko when he comes back. However, if they want to develop these guys while being competitive then maybe sending him down to the Whale isn't the worst idea.
…either way, giving him just eight minutes a night isn't helping anyone.
…this philosophy also goes for Del Zotto.
