Best of 2011: The year's best concerts
All week long we're looking back at the year in music. Here's a list of some of the year's best concerts -- from the people who reviewed and photographed them up close.
All week long we're looking back at the year in music. Here's a list of some of the year's best concerts -- from the people who reviewed and photographed them up close.
AUSTIN -- Day 2 of the 10th annual Austin City Limits Music Festival brought a much-welcomed rain, unwelcome humidity and slightly smaller crowds than Day 1.
TELLURIDE -- The 38th annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival closed amid a fiery storm of music and a downpour of rain on Sunday. Festivarians could have done without the rain -- what's up, muddy tarps?
The vibe at the third day of Telluride Bluegrass was jazzed and excited. It was also one of the more musically polarized days here in the box canyon.
TELLURIDE -- Perhaps more than any artist on the line-up, I came to Telluride anxious to see Steve Earle with the mountain backdrop in the heart of Telluride's box canyon.
Is the Telluride Bluegrass Festival the state's most treasured musical tradition? When you consider the festival's legacy and past artist rosters, its location and unsinkable spirit, it's quite possibly Colorado's most sacred weekend of music.
Over three days of perfect weather Friday through Sunday, the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival celebrated its 20th anniversary in high style, with a diverse array of musical performances from some of the masters of the singer/songwriter craft.

One of the dogs that recently escaped from an Amarillo resident's burning home has been euthanized, according to the director of animal control for the city of Amarillo.
Mike McGee, director of animal control, said two dogs were impounded after they escaped Kathy Camacho's burning home in northeast Amarillo on Nov. 25. The other dog has been adopted, he said.
Camacho said she learned that it would cost $400 to get the dogs from the pound. McGee said he was not sure where the dogs were picked up and was not sure of their breeds, but said they were picked up because they were running loose.
He said it would not cost $400 to release dogs that are picked up by animal control.
"Not even close," he said, explaining that he had no idea where Camacho got that information.
"Her fees would not have been any more than $32 per animal," he said. "Had she had to have paid for animals with rabies vaccination - in addition to kennel fees - it would have been $32 a dog."
McGee said animal control works with animal owners to ensure they get their animals back in cases involving Camacho's set of circumstances. He said Animal Control decides on a case-by-case basis as to whether fees can be waived. An owner may have to pay for a rabies shot if the animal has to have one or if the owner cannot provide proof of the animal's last shot.
He said there had been no attempt made to claim Camacho's dogs for several days after they had been impounded, although he said a woman inquired about them but never followed up. After 72 hours, normally, stray dogs are euthanized.
Camacho could not be reached for comment this morning.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Portland Trail Blazers teammates Damon Stoudamire and Rasheed Wallace admitted they had been smoking marijuana before being pulled over for speeding, police said Tuesday.
The two, along with Stoudamire's friend, Edward L. Smith, were cited for marijuana possession last Friday after they were stopped on the way back from a road game in Seattle.
The arresting officer, Sgt. Rob Huss, didn't recognize the NBA stars until other officers arrived at the scene, said Garvin March, a spokesman for the Washington State Patrol.
Smith, the driver, passed a field sobriety test at the scene; the others were not given alcohol tests, March said.
Officers used a drug-sniffing dog to search the car and found about one gram of marijuana, March said.
"They were asked whether or not they were smoking," he said. "Apparently Wallace admitted first that he was smoking and then Stoudamire and the driver, Edward, later admitted they were smoking."
According to police reports, Stoudamire and Wallace eventually told officers they had been smoking marijuana, but had used it all.
"Stoudamire hesitantly admitted that marijuana had been smoked in the vehicle, but stated that it had all been burned up and/or smoked," the report reads. Later, Wallace told officers "they had smoked one 'J" but that all the drug was gone, according to the report.
But Lewis County Prosecuting Attorney Jeremy Randolph said Wallace wasn't completely truthful in his answer to police.
"The question (the trooper asked) was, is there anymore (marijuana) left and they said, 'No we smoked it all up,"' Randolph said. "And unfortunately they obviously hadn't."
The police documents detailing a search of Stoudamire's yellow Humvee indicate officers found a small quantity of marijuana in the glove box, a burnt cigarette next to Stoudamire's seat, and a small tin with marijuana residue in front of Wallace's seat.
"If they're convicted, they'll do the time," Randolph said. "And they'll do it at the convenience of our court system, not the Portland Trail Blazers."
Stoudamire and Wallace declined to comment at Tuesday's shootaround.
Earlier this year, Stoudamire was charged with a felony after police found a large bag of marijuana in his home while investigating a burglar alarm. A judge has declared the search illegal, but prosecutors are appealing.
On the court, Stoudamire was benched in the third quarter of a game at Houston on Nov. 12 following a heated exchange with Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks. Stoudamire has played in only one game since then.

We seem to be swimming in a sea of "excellence" lately. Restaurants, hotels, automobile showrooms, and now hospitals use the word "excellent." Gone are the days of "very good" or "great."
Are we now to repeat the word in conversations with our patients and hope they will begin to believe we really are excellent?
We need to do more than get our patients to say the word "excellent." We need to earn their trust and respect. We need to create an environment where excellence grows and thrives. We all hear about medical errors, hospital-related infections, and accidental deaths. There is a great deal of (justified) public anxiety about being a patient in a hospital. Our patients and the health care system rely on each of us to do our best. So let's simply be excellent—and let our patients describe us with whatever words they find appropriate.

Session 4 - Space Mission Status.
Display session, Monday, January 15
North Banquet Hall, Convention Center
During the initial six month all-sky survey phase of the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer\/ mission, sources were observed at approximately 90 minute (one orbit) intervals for 10-20 seconds at a time. The survey strategy resulted in individual sources being observed in dozens to thousands of orbits, depending on the ecliptic latitude of the source.
We have analyzed 372 sources from the second EUVE\/ catalog of detections, on an orbit-by-orbit basis, to search for variability in each of the four all-sky survey bandpasses on a time scale of hours to days.
This poster describes the details of the variability testing process, the criteria used to classify sources as variable or constant, and the types of sources found to be variable. This work is supported by NASA contract NAS5-30180.

HARRISBURG — One of Pennsylvania's all-time leading vote-getters proved once again that she could deliver on Election Day.
Incumbent Catherine Baker Knoll survived vocal critics and three challengers yesterday to win the Democratic primary race for lieutenant governor.
In a victory speech delivered in a Pittsburgh bar shortly after 10 p.m., Knoll told 200 supporters that this win was a vindication for her and the first step toward securing a second term for Gov. Rendell.
"What we have here tonight is a celebration of continuity, the continuity of what we achieved four years ago, when so many said it couldn't be done," she said.

Is it Bye Bye Bivens?
As the U.S. Women's Open begins in Bethlehem, Pa., LPGA Commissioner Carolyn Bivens' ability to lead the tour is becoming even more uncertain. Whether Bivens resigns or she takes a buyout or tries to stick it out, she's in trouble. When I wrote this article a few days ago for Cybergolf, I titled it "Is the LPGA's Bivens a Leader?" Leadership is still the issue.
Leadership is a mystery. What makes someone a leader? Can you study to become one? These questions are the subjects of thousands of books and essays. But we all recognize leadership qualities when we see them. When we hear a leader speak, we want to follow and believe in him or her because we believe in their vision and the experience behind it.
The analogy I always go back to is when I was stuck in a white-out at the top of Vail Mountain many years ago. I didn't know if or how I was ever going to ski down that slope. Then I heard someone say, "I know the way - follow me - I know this mountain."
Back to Bivens. When Carolyn assumed the role of commissioner she brought a strong marketing background. And the LPGA needed - and still needs - that. But she lacked experience in the golf industry and with professional golfers in general. And this deficiency showed early in her tenure.
Many will recall that early on she tried to limit reporters' access to LPGA Tour players. She had to back down. That was an early mistake and set her in "negative" confidence territory. She has never fully recovered. It is hard to believe in someone that you have doubts about. That's the bottom line.
I went back over some of her speeches looking for leadership signals. There were lots of reports of accomplishments. There were also snippets of vision. The LPGA was going to be "international." But what does that really mean? How will it play out? How will it create sponsorships? How will it affect the U.S. players and television time?
Every vision is weak on details. A leader using vision-speak must have the confidence of their audience and constituents. You have to believe that the leader speaking knows how to solve those problems and fill in the details. If they don't have the confidence of their constituents, the vision-thing backfires. And that's what's happening to Bivens now. Can she repair her image and trust? That will depend on whether she can deliver on something really great. In this economy with her track record dragging behind, I'm just not sure that can happen.
At the same time that Bivens is struggling, the world's top female players will be attempting to win one of women golf's majors: the USGA Women's Open Championship this week at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa. No Tour players will be talking about Bivens. In fact, as reported in USA Today, Christie Kerr, the 2007 Women's Open champion, began her press conference by stating that questions about Bivens were off-limits.
And an even larger question looms. What is the future of women's golf in the United States, and does it even depend on the LPGA? I'm not sure about that either.
What matters most is the perception that women have of the game. If it continues to be one played mostly by men, where the speakers in the TV booth for men's events are mostly men, and where the PGA of America's gatekeepers at most courses are mostly men along with the mostly-male instructors, it's going to be an uphill battle trying to convince more women that golf is a game for them. I firmly believe that women's golf needs a new message. And it even may need a new messenger - perhaps a few of them.

I'm trying to determine Greg Olsen's true skill level at tight end, and according to DYAR and DVOA he does not appear to have all-pro potential.
So…..I look at Anquan Boldin's stats for 2012 and he looks average. But in reality, he was so much more than average. Is it correct to say that no statistic can REALLY confirm a players true skill level? Beyond a reasonable doubt? I ask this because some bloggers are so entrenched stats, and will not entertain any other arguments at times. At times it turns into an excuse to talk down to what I consider to be potentially valid arguments. I love this site and the statistics it provides, don't get me wrong, but is it innapropriate to once in a while go with the old "eyeball test"?
A penny for your honest thoughts on this issue,

No director takes such obvious joy in making films as Francois Truffaut. This case in point is a black-and-white mystery that seems a homage to the French films noirs and the work of Truffaut's idol, Alfred Hitchcock. It is a loose-jointed, funny, quietly sexy romp. Jean-Louis (Z) Trintignant plays a real estate broker whose hunting companion and slutty wife are murdered within a few hours of each other. Since the hunting pal was the wife's lover, there is only one suspect. Trintignant's secretary, Fanny (The Woman Next Door) Ardant, has no doubt that he is guilty, but she loves him, so she spends the rest of the movie trying to save him. More bodies turn up. A cop with an inferiority complex takes on the case. New suspects materialize, among them a priest, a pimp and a movie-theater cashier. Plausibility is not the point; fugitive Trintignant, for instance, spends most of his time hiding in his own office, hardly the most plausible refuge. Truffaut and co-writers Suzanne Schiffman and Jean Aurel, though, let everyone in on their conceit: Events don't have to be true to life as long as they're true to the tone of the movie. Things whiz to a satisfying but unsurprising climax that includes one of many Hitchcockian touches, the police inspector discussing dinner with his wife (see Dial M for Murder or Frenzy). Francis Coppola, among others, might learn a lesson from this film: A director does not have to make a profound statement every time he rolls his cameras. Sometimes it is sufficient to just have a good time. (In French, with very bad English subtitles: "cannon" becomes "canon," "nice" becomes "niece," and the French word for sweat, transpiration, is translated "transpiration"—valid English but hardly idiomatic.)

Work Continues on Norman Design in Idaho
Even though a fresh blanket of snow conceals all 18 holes of the new Greg Norman signature course in Tetonia, Idaho, there's no hiding the fact that the Teton Rim Course at River Rim Ranch is turning out to be everything the design team and developers had hoped for when ground was broken for the "mountain links" layout in 2007.
Situated at an elevation of over 6,300 feet in the Teton Valley, Teton Rim will stretch well over 8,000 yards from the tips. Multiple sets of tees, including eight on one hole, provide players with flexibility in choosing the length of course they want to play. This same flexibility will also provide staff the ability to set up the course in very unique ways for tournaments and daily play. Wide fairways and large, closely-mown areas around the greens coupled with firm, fast playing conditions lends to the "links" feel that the course embraces.
"Teton Rim is a rare opportunity to design a high-altitude links course. Our design approach fits in well with the large scale and expansive views of the Teton Valley and surrounding mountains." said Norman. "We develop a design philosophy that is unique for each project. It is our goal at Teton Rim, as with all projects, to provide players a memorable golf experience that can be enjoyed by all ability levels. This is achieved at Teton Rim by providing several tees, wide fairways, and open interesting greens and surrounds. The design and course conditions will encourage players to bounce shots into the greens. This is a key element of links course design. I want players to have fun and hit different shots than the typical round of golf."
"I believe that the Teton Rim course will become one of the most photographed courses in the country from the day it opens" states Sean Cracraft, general manager at River Rim Ranch. "Greg and the team from Greg Norman Golf Course Design have been an absolute pleasure to partner with every step of the way. We have worked together to create what we all think will be one of, if not the premier golf experience anywhere in the Rocky Mountain West. The amount of brainstorming that has gone into the course and clubhouse, and even how we will operate the club, is beyond anything I have ever experienced."
Next up for the project will be the installation of drainage and irrigation, then the replacement of over 500,000 cubic yards of topsoil stockpiled from the farm land prior to shaping. Grassing will then commence, with much of the 350-acre site being returned to native grasses and habitat that existed on the property prior to generations of agricultural use. As long as the mountain weather cooperates, the course is targeted to open in the summer of 2010.
River Rim Ranch embraces the agricultural traditions and open-space legacy set forth by the Hoopes family nearly 100 years ago. The Ranch's master plan blends long-term agricultural preservation with discrete residential sites. Described as "the quiet side of the Tetons," a laid-back approach to life is embraced in the environmentally balanced, low-density neighborhood. This vast property involves a lot of diversity, ranging from rolling hills to treed hollows and an open space system that protects more than two miles of the nearly untouched Teton River and canyon.
River Rim Ranch will also offer access to world-class fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, golfing, snowmobiling, downhill, and cross-country skiing, as well as easy access to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
River Rim Ranch is located seven miles west of Tetonia, Idaho on Idaho Highway 33. For more information, call 208/456-8300, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.riverrimranch.com.

In this past week, I have had two clients call to ask me about the offer they have from their employer of an early retirement. The employer has offered to give the employee a lump sum or they can have a monthly pension check for the rest of their lives (plus their surviving spouse if that applies).
Curiousity got the best of me, so I went surfing to see what the rest of the world was doing. Data suggests that about 22% of employers are providing the lump sum as an option to the fixed monthly annuity payment from the employer's pension plan. So a good number of employers are providing this option.
Is this something that my two clients should consider? There are positive sides to this and negative sides. Let's start with the annuity side of the question.
Annuity pension payment
When you retire and elect to receive a monthly check from your pension plan (the annuity payment), you are electing to receive those payments every month until your passing. This could be one month, one year or until age 100, or somewhere in between. If you elected a survivor benefit for your spouse, or someone else, if the plan provides that feature, the survivor would receive a benefit for the balance of their lifetime. The survivor benefit amount would be at least 50% of your benefit up to 100% of your benefit; however, the benefit you receive would be adjusted downward to reflect what you elected as a survivor benefit.
In the vast majority of pension plans, the initial amount you receive as a benefit is the same amount you will receive for the balance of your life time. Thus, the amount you receive will cover less and less of your future expenses as inflation erodes the purchasing power value of your pension payment. By comparison, the social security benefit you receive is increased by the increase in cost of living each year.
While you have a choice as to when the pension benefit starts, the longer you wait to start the benefit the higher that amount will be under most pension plans. So if you delay the start of the benefit from age 62 to age 65, the age 65 amount will be a higher monthly check.
The pension benefit is taxable income at the federal level and may be taxable at the state level. Many states do not tax pension at all or may exclude a certain portion of the pension benefit from being taxed on the state return.
Lump sum pension payment
If you elect a lump sum pension amount, the amount is calculated by a prescribed formula. This formula takes into account what the interest rate is on a certain group of bonds. The lower interest rates are at the time you elect the lump sum, the higher the lump sum payment amount will be that you receive. In this respect, now is the best time for you to get this option because of the very low interest rates we have. Future calculations will probably result in a lower lump sum amount.
You have several ways to receive this lump sum payment, each with different tax consequences. If you elected to take this as a payment to you (versus made to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA)), the total amount would be subject to income tax at the federal and state level plus a 10% penalty if you are under age 59 ½ (some exceptions apply to this penalty not being imposed). This would significantly reduce the amount of the lump sum that you would have available to live on in future years.
If you elected to take this lump sum and have it transferred to a trustee as an IRA, you would have no immediate tax issues. As you withdraw from this IRA in the future, the amount withdrawn would be subject to income tax each year. The amount of tax would depend on how much other taxable income you had each year and what tax bracket you are in for that year.
With this money in an IRA and under your control, you now become the manager of this money. How you invest it will determine what happens to the value of this asset in the future. If you were able to invest it at the same rate as the rate used to calculate the amount of the lump sum, you would be receiving the same amount as what the pension plan was going to pay you each month. That may sound easy but as we have seen in recent years, returns are not guaranteed in any investment class, whether that be cash, bonds, stocks or some other asset class.
The amount you take out of this IRA is totally under your control. If you have other sources of income to meet your living expenses (maybe you found another job after this retirement), then the earnings can remain in the IRA and help the IRA grow in value. That is until age 70 ½ when the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) rules take effect. At that time, you would have to take out 3.78% of the value of the portfolio on December 31st of the previous year. This RMD rate will increase each year going forward as you get older thus the amount you would receive would be higher assuming the value of the portfolio was increasing.
Since this is now an IRA, you get to name a beneficiary to receive the balance in the account upon your demise. So if you should pass away a year after you take the lump sum, the majority of the IRA balance would probably be intact and would pass on to your heir for his/her benefit, a significant difference from the outcome in the annuity situation above.
As an IRA, this money now has the other benefits that IRAs have, the primary one being the ability to convert some or all of it to a Roth IRA, subject to those rules including paying income tax on the converted amount.
Further considerations
While the monthly pension check sounds like a good deal, there are some other issues to be aware of.
As noted above, the monthly amount will, for most pensions, stay the same for the rest of your life. This means less purchasing power with that pension amount as inflation erodes the real value of that pension check over time.
The pension is only as good as the financial health of your company. If the company has financial difficulty or the assets of the pension plan become inadequate to cover the liabilities of all employees covered by the plan, your pension check may become subject to what the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation will provide. They have a maximum amount that is paid each month based on a formula that considers what your age is and the date your company was unable to make payments. This would be a reason to take the lump sum and avoid this as an issue later in life.

Shingles: Picture, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment
What causes shingles?
The varicella-zoster virus is responsible for causing chickenpox and shingles. Both chickenpox and shingles are marked by an outbreak of rash or blisters on the skin.
People who have had chickenpox in the past are at risk of developing shingles because the virus remains inactive in certain nerve cells of the body and can become active later in life.
People in their 70s are now offered a vaccination on the NHS to protect against shingles.
Who gets shingles?
Scientists are not certain why the virus reactivates, or why it only reactivates in about 20% of people who have had chickenpox. There is evidence to suggest that a weakened immune system may cause the virus to break out of its dormant state, multiply, and move along nerve fibres to the skin. You may be at risk of shingles if you:
- Have a weakened immune system (such as people with cancer or HIV)
- Are over 50
- Have been ill
- Have experienced trauma
- Are under significant stress
What are the symptoms of shingles?
Symptoms of shingles include:
- Pain that is itching, stabbing or shooting
- Tingling feeling in or under the skin, which is red in the affected area
- High temperature, chills, and headache
After a few days, a rash appears as a band or patch of raised dots, usually on one side of the body. The rash can appear around the waistline or on one side of the face or torso. The rash eventually develops into red, fluid-filled, round, painful blisters. These blisters usually begin to dry out within a few days or weeks.
How is shingles diagnosed?
Doctors diagnose shingles based on the way the rash looks. The blisters of a shingles rash usually appear in a band on one side of the body. Shingles may also be diagnosed from a scraping or swab of the fluid from the blisters that can be analysed in a laboratory.
How is shingles treated?
There is no cure for shingles, but treatments for the condition can help ease the associated pain and discomfort. Treatments can also help the healing of blisters and rash.
Antiviral medication such as aciclovir, famciclovir and valaciclovir can ease discomfort and reduce the duration of symptoms. In most cases, it is recommended that antiviral medication be started within 72 hours of the first sign of shingles.
Painkillers can also offer relief. Over-the-counter paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen can be effective in relieving mild pain. For more severe cases of pain, prescription NSAIDs or narcotic painkillers may be necessary. In some cases, corticosteroids can be prescribed to ease the discomfort, inflammation, pain, redness, and itching associated with shingles' rash and blisters.
Is shingles contagious?
Yes. People who have never had chickenpox or have not been vaccinated against the disease can develop chickenpox if exposed to the virus.

text: Review Content Truly silent! - Works great! This truly silent air purifier takes the place of the "whisper" quiet purifier that when it was running holding a conversation in the same room was nearly impossible. the Airfree P1000 now sits right next to the couch in my living room and having a quiet conversation is now possible. We can even watch TV! The Airfree P1000 truly cleans the dusty air in my 107 year old house! I love it. I plan to buy two more - one for my kitchen and one for my bedroom. Airfree meets my expectations. I live in an efficiency in an old building which doesnt have all the bells and whistles, so to speak. Since having the Airfree air purifier, I can definitely tell a difference in the air quality. When I awake in the mornings, I dont have the sinus congestion I experienced prior to having Airfree. Really quiet, but makes a difference The full effect of air-cleaning takes several days. It was gradual at first, but quite noticeable at the end of a week. Really quiet and no ozone smell! awesome purifier I like that you dont have to clean the filter. You cant visibly see if its working or not but just the way you feel all the time. Less sneezing or coughing. awesome! We bought the black one for the larger square footage for our daughters room when she was a newborn. Its silent and has its light can be controlled, so it was a wonderful night light as well as air purifier. We felt better knowing the air she was breathing was going to be pure, especially since we have a cat and dander. A necessity. Now we purchased the white one for our basement rec room, because we recently took care of some seepage. Its an ideal product to deal with mold, bacteria and other harmful air particles. Breating easier My air purifier runs constantly in my bedroom. It makes the air smell like clean clothes that have just been taken off the outdoor clothesline on a sunny day. It is lightweight. I could use a carrying case for it because it will accompany me on any trips requiring an overnight stay at a hotel. I was nearly ready to give up staying at hotels previously because of my severe nasal allergies. Air purifiers made it possible for me to enjoy hotel stays once more. The unit does product a little heat, but that is not so bad if you have air conditioning. This purifier is not a rip off or a gimmick. It truly helps my symptoms. the Best of the best this is used in the bedroom but will buy more for the living room its small and compact no noise , clears the air of all smells in fact when you burn candles dont put this on it clears that smell too unless you dont like the smell....Lol so far all is good only have it less than 2 weeks will review again in 6 months meets the need i was looking for kids room in college - works well his frat house Product is so silent, nice desin This is great product, i love it. Big differenece in air quality after working only one day Fantastic! Ive been suffering from severe allergies ever since I got my two adorable felines (which I found out I was allergic to a few months after adoption). We put this in the bedroom on the floor. My Russian Blue with the gorgeous but sneeze-inducing fur, has taken to sleeping by the air purifier! Better nights sleep all around and Ive become fond of watching t.v. in the bedroom because the air purifier is in there. Time to get one for the living room. Id done a lot of investigating between Consumer Reports, [@] and various other rating sites. I was very disappointed that this was never rated on Consumer Reports because its incredible...And, no filter! This got high ratings across the WORLD. Excellent product. Breathing easier Here in WNC ,we have gotten a lot of rain this year .with that increased mold and fungus .i was having trouble breathing at night so I bought this air purifier to see if it would help. My immune system is weak and I had concerns for my Heath also. I have had the purifier for 2 weeks now and am happy to say it has worked wonderful. I could notice a difference the second day. The air feels lighter and clean. I want to get another one for my home. I cough much less then before. A very happy customer!. Filterless Silent Air Purifier - 450SF You didnt really offer any proof that the product would perform the way you said it would. I couldnt prove anything once I got your product. Very sad. I just have to hope you are selling something that you have proven to function as advertised. Fortunately I trust you and that is the only reason I went ahead and bought it, Grandaughter prortector..... My Granddaughter is 11 years old and at night sleeps in a 9 x 12 bedroom with her dog "Lui (The Italian word for "him") cuddled up on her bed With my gift to her of the P1000 filterless, silent, air purifier, I sleep more comfortably at night. Worked immediately to decrease allergy symptoms I bought this for an allergic employee of mine. She saw immediate decrease in symptoms. Because the night light portion didnt work, I sent it back for exchange, but cant wait to get the new one as her allergies are back. In days, no more constant coughing up! I thought I had a serious lung disease because I was coughing up several times daily. Yet testing revealed nothing. Within a few days of putting the heat-activated air purifier into my bedroom, my conjestion and coughing up stopped and my sinus condition improved. I have four Persian cats, yet didnt realize just how much they shed. I vacuum daily, and thoroughly clean weekly, yet I wasnt cleaning the air, until now. Ill be ordering the larger one for the living room. Great product! I live in a studio and this is the perfect solution for me. I simply leave it on - no maintenance! Cleans the air beautifully! Seems to work! Sinuses are clearer in the morning So far so good! I bought this because my 3 year old daughter seemed to be getting sick once a month and we were told by our doctor she has allergies. We have been using this for nearly a month and she is sleeping through the night, no stuffy nose, no sickness. I think this thing really works and plan on buying the 650 sf version for our living room. Highly recommended because there is no need to clean it, ever! This Thing Really Works We live in a small one bedroom condo-and when we close the windows, the air quality is musty. We had an ionic breeze air purifier for our bedroom. It worked ok but it was a pain in the neck to clean. This new air purifier works perfectly. Its quiet and air quality is much improved. We were so happy that we got the larger unit for our living room. Feeling a lot better After 10 minutes of plugging it in I started to feel better. After 2 hours I felt better all around. Its been several weeks and Im able to spend time in my own home with minimal effects from allergies. QUIET, LIGHT, NO MAINTENANCE, KILLS MOLD I have had so many different types of filters over the past 35 years because of my allergies and asthma. These are amazing. They sterilize the air, kill every pollutant, and my husband and I havent sneezed once since we installed them! Allergic Rhino is a mold and yeast infection in the sinus cavities. It creates an environment for infection. These filters do no dry out the air, they sterilize it! Best filters Ive ever had. Clean Air! I bought this to relieve allergies inmy home. Im allergic to my cat and I bought this to help with wheezing and it has definitely done the trick!! Awesome convenient sized air purifier! I had a great air purifier, but it was too large and bulky for the space I needed to place it, this little guy is amazing and attractive and compact enough to put it where I want to, AND my headaches are gone so I know without doubt it is working just fine. Couldnt be any easier being free of cleaning filters!! love this!! New Purifier for me I used to have the big tower ionic breeze and I loved it. It lasted me 13 years and I was sad when it was done. This new one compared to the last one we had is ok. It doesnt give off the clean smell but seems to help alittle with smoke, and we will see come spring if it helps with allegery season. It is silent for sure. Great Buy It is wonderful to feel the use of the absolutely silent air purifier. With winter weather outside, the home is more close than usual and closed up air needs some help with the dander, pollens, etc. that have collected over the open door months. Awesome Product I use this unit in my home and when I travel for business I bring this along. An Excellent Product This is an excellent product for your bedroom - Works silently and tirelessly and ensures you sleep very soundly - can help people with a few allergies. Airfree P1000 -Filterless Silent Air Pur Does it job and supper quiet Great Air Cleaner Small size so you can put it where you want to. Cleans the air great. Small and ultra quite Great small and very quiet air purifier. I have this only for a couple of weeks but it seems to be doing a great job so far. It literally makes zero noise so its great in my sons bedroom.0twenty Really works! My new husband has a severe allergy to cat dander, so with my 4 cats he was pretty congested. I purchased the filterless, silent air purifier for the bedroom hoping it would help, and it has worked like a charm. He is very appreciative, and well be purchasing bigger air purifiers for other rooms in the house! Great product Compact size, quiet and easy set up. Great for studio apts! Good product for a good try! Love the design & the color! Used about two weeks, feel pretty good. So I will keep trying/using it. Seems to be working. I bought this item for my daughter who has asthma, chronic cough and allergies. First off, there was a noticeable difference in the smell alone in her room after a few hours of the unit being plugged in. It air smells clean and light. She sleeps much better at night will a limited amount of coughing compared to before. I noticed her sinuses are clearer and she is breathing better. amazing little machine The air is clean and allergen-free after just a few hours of turning on this machine. I sleep so well with this in my bedroom because I can finally breathe freely. I cant say enough good things about it. I am going to purchase a 2nd one for our family room. Very good product I hope it will help me with my allergy. Better than anticipated!!! its great for some respiratory problems. So quiet its like it doesnt exist! We havent had it for all that long, but one thing I noticed that I really liked was that we had a fish fry one evening and usually the next morning you can smell the deep fried fish all over the kitchen. But this time you couldnt smell the fish or any deep fried smell! That was a pleasant experience, along with not smelling the wet dogs as much either! I would and have definitely recommend the air purifier to others. So quiet-So cute I have not had it very long but the air in my home seems to be fresher and I am sleeping better at night. Also I love that is so quiet. Thanks. It appears to be working None very satisfied with this product. It hasnt done much to help my allergies that I can tell but I do like the fact you dont even know you have it. No filters to clean, no noise to deal with. Happy with Filterless SILENT Air Purifie I work in a CUBE and surrounded with sick workers. Since I started using my air purifier I am feeling much better, others around me are getting well, and Im not so stressed about getting infected at work. I hope to look into one that will be suitable for my home... soon. Thank you! Great Air Purifier After 2 weeks of use my house smells great THE PERFECT AIR FILTER I began to replace old Ionic Breeze air filters with these filters because they wore out after many years of use. I have three levels in my home. I began with four of the Air Free on one level about six months ago. I noticed my allergy symptoms were greatly improving while I was on the level of the home which had these air filters. About six months ago I purchased another four Air Free filters and placed them on the other levels of the house. I am feeling better than ever. I had a systemic yeast/mold/fungus infection (Mycological Syndrome) and Im free of it now. These filters require NO MAINTENANCE and kill every air-born thing to which I am allergic. It really does work! I live in an apt and the dust seemed to accumulate immediately after cleaning! I purchased this product and leave on all the time in my bedroom. After one week, I noticed a significant decrease in dust throughout my entire apt!!!! I also noticed the air smells crisp and fresh...highly recommend this product. This one does the job! I am extremely scent sensitive and have a long history of sinus problems. I had the Ionic Breeze for 5+ years until one of the cleaning wires broke. I decided to try this just under a montha ago because it said it destroys the airborne bacteria and I dont have to worry about cleaning a filter every week. I like darkness to sleep so I turned the blue light off. You still have the on light, but I turned it away from me. I am breathing much clearer now. I do not wake up nearly as stopped up as before. I even have days when I am not congested at all. When I can afford to do so, I am considering buying another one for my computer room or even one of the larger models for the family room. Cleans better than the last one. I move this product room to room after I clean and it helps my daughter greatly, whe suffers from dust mite allergies. great very functional and small enough Great purifier Too bright at night even after light was turned off Clean Air! I use the air purifier every day in my small bedroom. I have not noticed a difference in regards to pet dander but I have noticed a decrease in mold and pollen related allergies. Best air cleaner in the market !!! I used to have 4 Ionic Breeze from Sharper Image, then I saw the new Silent Air Purifier and read all the good reviews about this product, decided to give it a try, bought a 650 black color one for my bedroom, it works like wonder, I can feel the improvement of the quality of air in my bedroom, immediately bought another 450 white one for my bedroom and move the 650 black one to the bigger living room, am considering buying another one for my office. This really is the best air cleaner Ive used so far..... Big Difference After Just 2 Hours! I have severe Athsma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Breathing and Allergies have been a huge problem for me. I see why this unit is used in hospitals. Its really amazing the difference it makes! I only wish Id been able to afford it sooner! Never bought anything made in Germany that would be considered "junk". Great Product! Thanks Sharper Image! Just as advertised! All of the posted reviews are spot-on accurate so I would add that the soft blue light can not only be dimmed but turned off if desired and that if you have a non-polarized electrical outlet, the light will rapidly blink if you need to flip the prongs/ re-plug it in properly. Also, if placed on an uneven/un-level surface, or it is on while you hold it, the blinking light alert will display. THE PERFECT AIR FILTER I have purchased a number of different air filters over the decades. The last group I had were Silent Air Ionic Breeze filters. I loved them and they did a great job. However, they needed to be cleaned every week or so. With Airfree there is no maintenance. My worst allergies are dust mites and mold. The Airfree takes care of both + other air pollutants plus they make no noise whatsoever. Their beautiful blue glow creates perfect night lights. They require no maintenance whatsoever and my sneezing episodes and breathing problems are down by 95%. I love these filters. Great New Technology (to me) I had an older Sharper Image Ionic Breeze and loved it! It came to the end of its life and I needed a new one. I was about to order an updated model when I saw these Airfree Air Purifiers. No filters, no stainless grids to clean, nothing, no maintenance at all! It seemed too good to be true but it is new technology. I thought Id try it. It is great! It is very small and silent. My only question is since there is nothing to clean or replace (the dust, etc is sort of zapped away or burned) I have no way of knowing if it is working or not. I dont have an odor problem in my home so I cant go by that. But it is silent and the light is on. It has an option to turn the light off also, but I like the light. I keep it running constantly. I dont have very much dust in my home so that part is working. I am left to believe it is working and just as it is supposed to. I think it is wonderful that we can have clean and almost dust and bacteria-free air to breathe inside our homes. I bought this model and the higher Whisper quiet, super air purifier Super quiet, and does the job! Love how I dont have to change/replace filters. Cant say enough good things about it, great design, smaller than I thought it would be, and super, super quiet. No extra heat put off by the unit, and we are all sleeping much better these days with breathing clean air. 2nd Times a Charm The first one I ordered didnt turn on when plugged in. Sent it back with no hassle. This one came and was perfect. I now have three, one for each bedroom. Great because of 6 cats in the house, and constant neighborhood burning. Sinus problems have calmed down. I would buy this product again. I am using this in the room my husband smokes in. It help with the smell greatly. quite and efficient put one in each grand child bedroom for allergies and asthma. seems to be helping them both. compact and quite so it fits anywhere. filterless silent air filter I have used other Sharper Image air filters for years. At Christmas I bought my two children this air filter for their homes because of their allergies. My son loved his so much he also purchased one for my grandsons bedroom. This filter is wonderful because there is no matinence plug it in, no filters to clean or change! It appears to be working I havent had this appliance for long enough to gauge but it appears to be doing the job in my bedroom. Am considering buying one for my living area. Sleeping better with air filter in room We are getting a more restful nights sleep since we started using the air purifier, less snoring and dust in the room. A Must Have This is a great maintenance free product. We bought it to put in our camper. I had difficulty breathing due to 4 cats with us. After a few hours I had no problem breathing. I highly recommend this. This system is compact and light weight. I think this is doing what I needed. I purchased this product because I was having unusual respiratory issues over the last 3 months requiring the use of an inhaler. I was up to 4-5 puffs every day. After about 12 days of using this purifier, I am only using my inhaler once per day and occasionally not at all. I am not back to complete normal, but the improvement was good enough to consider this product may have helped. I like that it doesnt make any noise and that I could turn off the colored light on top. Great product! I bought this for my toodlers room because he suffer from allergies and was looking I was hoping to give him some relief. So far I feel like it has been really helpful. :) Best Investment! I purchased this for my husband as a birthday gift and he really loved it. It keeps down the dust in his 18 wheel, controls pet odor, he sinus is much better, no more headache in the morning. Very small and convenience for space. Very good price for the product. Great product I use this product to purify two small rooms less than 300 square feet. The amou t of dust has decreased and I breathe a lot better, less allergies. The only drawback is that the inside gets very hot but thats how it works. No regrets. Great product. Great filter It works in excellent fashion to clean the air "I also bought a larger one" I am an allergy sufferer and prone to sinus infections every fall/winter and I am hoping this will help control the symptoms causing fewer infections. So Far So Good My wife has asthma, we put this air purifier in our bedroom and she is sleeping better. If it keeps working this well we will be very pleased. its quiet and helpful The design of the purifier, and the operating, are very good. I dont know yet how efficiently it purifies -- but think its helped with odors, already. It works ok. We bought this to use for grandpas room because his room gets really stuffy and the odor comes out into the main area which is somewhat unpleasant. After putting the unit in his room (and the second one is in the living room near his doorway to catch what the first one doesnt) it helped a fair amount but never 100% yet. I was hoping this would reduce the odor by at least 90%-100% but it seems to have only been about 50%-60%. But that is better than not having them at all. Getting ready to buy a third We have this air cleaner in our bedroom and the larger size in our living room. Will be buying another one soon for another bedroom. Not sure how they work but we can tell the difference and they are super easy to set up and take care of. Basically there is nothing to do. Love not having filters to clean works great on mold! WE HAD MOLD IN BOTH BATHROOM CLOSETS. AFTER A THOROUGH CLEANING OUT PROCESS, NO NEW MOLD HAS FORMED. THIS IS MY SECOND PURCHASE OF SIMILAR ITEM. BOUGHT THE LARGER SIZE FIRST FOR MY CLOSET. HUSBAND GETS THE SMALLER SIZE FOR HIS CLOSET. LOL! Highly recommend buying this item This has helped me very much with my chronic cough at nights. As I live in an apt., which is pretty closed during this bad winter, it is very, very quiet and is on the whole day. So far I do not have anything negative to say about it. I have even recommended it to my friends and family. so far so good so far it seems to do what the company advertises. Love it. I love the white color,silent&have blue night-night. Amazing product! We live in a high rise apartment in NYC and the dust was killing us. I am very meticulous so I noticed all the dust collecting on our furniture. We received the airefree, read the instructions (so simple! Love it!) and plugged it in. A few hours later ALL THE ANNOYING DUST WAS GONE! Just like magic!!! Love this product!! I bought one for my daughters room because she suffers from dust allergies. Again, all the dust disappeared like magic!!! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT! Air Purifies Located atop desk/credenza. Power cord could be longer so need an extension cord. Helps Allergy Sufferer I rest better at night with the air purifier in my room. Wake up and can breath! SILENT NO MAINTENANCE I now have eight in my 3,000 square foot home. They have created a mold-free, pollen-free environment. They have beautiful blue lights (the white ones) and are used as night lights. I love them. totally silent - no motors I have placed this product in my bedroom and am no longer sneezing frequently. Bought 2 of these This product is completely quiet and durable. I have 2, one in my bedroom and in the den, where the dogs spend time in the house. I have had these a few weeks. Seems to work great and quiet I read that it smells like burning plastic on review and that is true but give it a day or two and smell goes completely away. The company should tell people that odors will occur for first 48 hours. Now it is silent and makes no smell, we do not even know it is there. If you do not like blue light, you can shut it off. Phenomenal and effective! This purifier works as described. It has truly worked to clear the air of allergans. Breathing is easier. Noticeable Difference but with Cons I run it 24/7 and there is a noticeable difference in the air quality of my bedroom. Unfortunately, there is also a noticeable difference in my electric bill. The unit also generates quite a bit of heat and the blue light is always on. Works Great! Love this air purifier. Just had to plug it in to get it to work, and it seems to be making a big difference. I feel much less congested and it has helped make the house feel fresher during the winter when I cant open windows for fresh air. I bought one and have been moving it around the house. Will likely buy another for my office. really good air purifier this air purifier is lightweight and silent but packs a powerful punch. i have it in my bedroom and it is cleaning the air without any problems. i love the fact that this purifier requires no cleaning or maintenance whatsoever. Love it!!! I just bought this for my living room....getting ready to order one for my bedroom and my sons bedroom!!!! Awesome air cleaner I bought this for my daughters room - her allergy to cats flares up when she comes home from college. With this unit in her room, what a difference - no puffy eyes. Was skeptical if it would work but had to have since the cat is still here. Bought 3 more for gifts/other rooms! Awesome and very quiet We bought 2 of these products. After we got the first one everyonbe loved it so we got another for another office! It is very quiet! Well it turns on I dont have a way to test the air quality so I can only assume it is working as it should. I did buy it specifically for pet dander, from what I understand that can be destroyed by heat and that is one of the methods this product uses to clean the air. The air emitted from the top is reasonably warm but not too hot. There is a blue light which I did not notice if I could turn that off, I just read about the product on line and it shows an adjustment on the bottom of the machine that I did not notice so I will go home and see if it is there. It is completely quiet since it uses convection to move air. My 4th one This is my 4th one. I gave it to my parents to replace one of those old tall ugly things that you have to clean. Great product. Started removing smoke from room first day. Great remover of smoke in environment. amazing product i am using it in my bedroom.i am breathing so much better. we have used the ionic breeze for 15 or so years.one finally gave out.so back iwent for 2 more. i guess that says it all. thanks sharperimage. Amazing! I just set up my AirFree filterless silent air purifier...it certainly lives up to its description! This is replacing the Vicks Hepa Nursery purifier in our daughters bedroom. Her Vicks purifier was dangerous for me to clean as I suffer severely from allergies to mold and dust mites, not to mention tedious. The filters were costly to replace every 3 months as well. This little beauty is compact, but will powerfully clean the air in her room silently. There is a dimmer underneath the unit to control the built in LED light which is nice because my daughter already has a nightlight. I love that it doesnt require any internal cleaning! A quick dusting on the outside will do the trick. I placed an order to replace the Vicks purifer in my and my husbands bedroom and also getting another for our living room. Well worth the investment for all the convenience and clean air :) better sleep and less allergy symptoms I am very pleased. I have slept so much better since I purchased this for my bedroom. I also have had the best Spring in years for dramatically less congestion during the worst of pollen season. I just ordered two more for the kids bedrooms after seeing real improvement for myself. So Far its doing the trick. It has only been about two weeks, but I believe its really working. Ive been suffering from allergies (pollen, dust mites, cat, mold) & eczema for the better part of a year. My doctor suggested an air purifier for my bedroom. The unit kind of looks like a helmet but is absolutely silent. I have notice much less dust in my room & that my skin is clearing. It might be my imagination, but the air smells cleaner. Im very happy with the purchase and plan to buy another one for my daughters room. Clean Bedroom Air: No Fuss, No Muss This air purifier is used in our bedroom. It runs continuously and is entirely silent in its operation. It has done a very good job of improving the air quality without the ionizing feature, which we really didnt like. Excellant works great room seems cleaner Use in bedroom so far so good Big improvement in allergy symptoms Keep it on the floor in my bedroom. I have only had it 1 month but I can certainly tell a difference in my allergies. I dont wake up stuffy and with swollen eyes Love it Air is much cleaner, I was coughing all the time ,now I am not . Want to buy another one reform the family room Silent Purifier Really Works I bought one for each bedroom. They are completely silent and seem to really cut down on dust and mold. silence is golden silent It works quietly but very powerful !! I bought this for a smoker relative and it works very well. Amazing!! Still wondering if this is worth it. Im trying this in my bedroom as I could not seem to dust enough. It seems to be effective but seems more limited than its spec listed as far as square feet coverage. Product is well worth the price I share my tiny 900 square foot home with my partner and 4 cats. We have a small enclosed porch that is approximately 12 x 8 feet. We keep two litter boxes with hoods in this room. I keep the boxes clean but because I work and cant constantly scoop the boxes, there was always an odor in that porch. Hence, the purchase of this magical little odor eating powerhouse. I am so incredibly pleased with this. All odors are banished and now I can resume enjoying my porch with my little furballs and no longer worry when people come to the house.

Evening dress
Mrs. Golding (unknown)
Figured silk, trimmed with machine embroidery, net and machine-made lace
Museum no. T.63-1939
Given by Mrs W. A. Horn
This ensemble characterises fashionable evening wear for women in the late 1870s. The elbow-length sleeves and square neckline show that it was probably not a ball gown, but worn for dinner or the opera. By the late 1870s the profile of the skirt had narrowed considerably. The back draped over a bustle, and on evening dresses extended into a train. Cloaks and mantles were still worn for warmth outdoors, but their shape had slimmed down considerably after the 1860s, so as to follow the contour of the dress underneath. Those worn with evening dress were often trimmed with feathers, braid and beaded embroidery.

As much as the average Joe doesn't want to believe it, there are players in the NFL that do earn their salaries. But then there are those who are so overrated that hearing their names only conjures up dollar signs and shrugs.
Chris Johnson is one of those names.
Dez Bryant is one of those names.
As much as fans of the Titans and Cowboys franchises want to believe they have gems on their hands, there is still some proving to be done.
More important than these overrated players are the stories and headlines they bring to each Sunday game, especially in Week 1 of the 2012 NFL season.
Here are the 10 most overrated story lines going into the season that will quickly deflate as the year goes on.

Someone steals shopping bags
To the editor:
I was shopping at a local store on Monday (June 3). In my shopping cart I had my grocery cloth recycle bags. I had to run into the restroom so I left my shopping bags in my cart along with items in the cart, came out, finished my shopping.
When I got to the line to check out I realized someone had stolen my shopping bags! Needless to say I was quite appalled that someone would be so desperate and in such need.
How about some good news?
To the editor:
Lately, it seems, so much of the news that we read or hear about is negative. This tends to make us unfairly skeptical of the integrity of society as a whole.
Recently, when I went to pay for some purchases at a local store, I could not find my wallet. After checking with the store, where I had been previously, and checking the parking lot, I went to the customer service department.
My wallet had been found and turned in, complete with cash, credit cards, and other I.D. items intact.
Thank you, not only for returning my valuables, but for returning a stronger faith in my fellow man.
The environment and autism
To the editor:
Scientists have found patterns of change in gene activity involved in autism in a study that shed light on how environmental factors can work to turn certain genes on or off and contribute to the development of the brain disorder.
In the largest study of its kind, researchers analyzed data from 50 sets of twins to try to find out what might have caused some of them to develop autism while their genetically identical siblings did not. Chloe Wong, of the Institute of Psychiatry (IoP) at King's College London, who worked on the study, explained that epigenetic changes affected levels or activity of genes without changing the underlying DNA sequence.
Scientists think they are one way in which the environment interacts with the genome. Importantly, she said in a telephone interview, epigenetic changes are also potentially reversible, so finding out more about them may point researchers towards the development of new medicines or treatments. People with autism have varying levels of impairment across three common areas, social interaction and understanding, repetitive behavior and interests, and language and communication.
As many as one in 50 school age children in the United States are diagnosed with autism, although some of these will be milder cases that have been diagnosed partly because of better recognition of autism symptoms by doctors. In Europe experts say the rate is around one in 100 children.
Genetic Code previous studies have shown there is a strong genetic component to autism. In identical twins, in around 70 percent of cases where one twin has autism, so does the other. But in 30 percent of cases, one twin has autism while the other does not. Because identical twins share the same genetic code, this suggests non-genetic, or epigenetic, factors may be important. Wong's team studied a particular epigenetic mechanism called DNA methylation, which acts to block the genetic sequences and can turn gene activity on or off.
They looked at DNA methylation at over 27,000 sites across the genome using samples taken from 50 identical twin pairs. Of the 50 pairs, 34 had one twin with autism and one without, five had both twins with autism, and 11 pairs were healthy controls with no autism traits or diagnoses. The researchers found that DNA methylation at some genetic sites was consistently altered for all the children with autism, while differences at other sites were specific to certain groups of symptoms or traits of autism.
The number of DNA methylation sites across the genome was also linked to the severity of autism symptoms suggesting a quantitative relationship, said Wong, whose study was published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry on Tuesday. "We identified distinctive patterns of DNA methylation associated with both autism diagnosis and related behavior traits, and increasing severity of symptoms," she said. Jonathan Mill, of the IoP and the University of Exeter, who led the study, said research into the intersection between genetic and environmental influences was crucial "because risky environmental conditions can sometimes be avoided or changed."
He said the next step was to conduct larger studies to see whether researchers can identify key epigenetic changes that are common to the majority of people with autism and use them to help develop ways of preventing or treating the disorder. It was too early in the process to identify which environmental factors may have had an impact.
Misuse of the Constitution
To the editor:
Historically, tyrants by dynasty, warfare or quasi democratic elections seized power in countries like Russia, Iran, Egypt, Syria and Germany. Electing regimes with such demonstrable ideological antithesis to freedom and liberty is baffling? Is the human psyche easily subjected to dictatorial suppression? Are we predisposed to embrace propagated illusions shrouded in delusions of grandeur that implode leaving us to live in denial?
Fear is a paralyzing venom. Tyrants suffocate opposing cultures by supplanting their historical heritage, language of word meanings, customs, traditions and faith values. Fear of the strong arm of government is a formidable controlling means used by those intoxicated with power securing totalitarianism progressively eradicating freedom and liberty. From the Bible's "that they shall neither buy nor sell" to Orwell's 1984 mankind is captivatingly anticipating a powerful centralized government that seizes every aspect of our lives.
Is America in a battle of ideological world views? Religious beliefs are undeniably intrinsic to the rule of law and ideological world views. Christian and Judaism ideologies anticipate a reigning Messiah. Islam, a Mahdi, ruling a Caliphate Islamic government along with a political leader governing according to Sharia Law.
Deluging scandals with ensuing ramifications are unveiling Obama Democrat's ideological world view. Consider the following. Who gave the "stand down" order leaving Americans to die in Benghazi including heroic Navy Seals Glen Doherty and Tyron Woods? The high profile federal incursion of the Gibson guitar factory, whose CEO is a conservative contributor in contrast to a significant competitor and Democratic fundraiser is suspicious.
Is HHS Secretary Sebelius's "someone lives and someone dies" previewing ObamaCare? The administration selects to not enforce laws according to their political interests. They profusely speak against profiling to identify terrorists, but excoriatingly defamate patriots. There is the unprecedented intrusive administration probe into the "free press" and appearance of manipulating the courts. The "Fast and Furious" fiasco remains unanswered. Secret email accounts. Alleged government agency political prejudice in business grant approvals to liberals while opposing conservatives. The IRS's oppressive targeting of religious, conservative and pro-Israel individuals. Is this acceptable profiling? Is Israel abandoned? Obama Democrat's best defense mantra is that they don't know anything about anything! Remember Clint Eastwood's famous "Empty Chair."
Is Liberal Progressive Democratic Socialism on display? Numerous congressional leaders are Democratic Socialists of America members with others holding strategic positions of power. Are we electing America's demise?
Using government's power to intimidate, punish, suppress or eliminate opposing political speech and religious beliefs is diabolical. Who is being defined as enemies? Obama Democrat's list of friends seems foreign and troubling.
Quoting Patrick Henry, "The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." "Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country and of an act of disloyalty towards the Majesty of Heaven which I revere above all things."
East Palestine
"Prove us wrong -let us in"
To the editor:
After reading Alchemy Acre's letter to the editor it became clear to me that the majority of the public may not be aware of what the standards should be in reference to animal care at a sanctuary/rescue. If you have never worked or volunteered in a venue such as this then all of the points that were made in their letter would make sense. However, if you have been a part of animal welfare and seen how it should be done you know the truth.
I cannot tell you how disappointed I was to read the "reasons" that Alchemy Acres gave for not allowing public entrance into their facility. As far as "hurting the people who work there and questioning ethics of others?" I would question why an animal sanctuary is more concerned with human feelings as opposed to the welfare of the animals! Is it not our responsibility as the public that supports you (through donations and otherwise) to question whether or not the living conditions of these animals is acceptable? We as animal lovers have the ominous task of making certain that every rescue, sanctuary, etc. is operating as they profess.
Alchemy Acres is hiding behind ridiculous excuses. If it is a fact that your insurance policy will not allow the public to walk through in the hopes of adopting then perhaps you should consider a different policy? Maybe speak to other sanctuaries or rescues that have insurance policies that allow viewing? I am aware that you have posted open hours, why not designate just one of those hours for viewing allowing for more exposure and possibility of more adoptions?
Comparing your facility to a foster-based program is moot. Of course a foster home would not consider having five to 10 potential adopters daily wandering through their home. Why? Because they would only have one animal looking for a home not the over 100 your facility has. I would also have to disagree with your statement that "there is obviously a need for all rescues or we would not be here." I would hope that you meant that there is a need for all responsible rescues because both you and I know there are irresponsible ones as well.
I certainly understand the local noise ordinances. And there is truly no need for "strangers from the public to stroll through randomly." However, I would hope that your surrounding neighbors would make an exception if the noise were kept to one to three hours per week total?
Addressing the "cross contamination protection" issue ... seriously? I myself have seen pictures of the inside of your facility and this issue is simply another excuse.
I understand that you call yourself a sanctuary but you also claim to have animals up for adoption. I take offense to you stating that your facility is "home to these animals, not just a menagerie to be gawked at." It may be true that it's "home" for some, but you are being completely unfair to the ones that have a chance at a real home with a real family free from kennel life. I find it difficult to believe that they would be "cringing in the corners" from stress if the public were permitted to visit them only one to three hours a week.
I challenge your statement that "we know our animals here from hours of working with them daily" and that "each animal at the sanctuary receives individual attention multiple times each day ... animals in need of behavioral training, physical/psychological therapies receive the proper care they need for the length of their natural lives." In addition to the above mentioned claims you would also have to factor in everything else that it takes to keep the facility running properly i.e.; feeding, watering, medications, walks, event coordinating, fundraising, vet appointments, cleaning kennels, bathing, animal intake, adoption site postings, application checks, adoption interviews, reference checks, etc. Due to the number of animals you house (over 100) you would have to have over 50 staff/volunteers working a minimum of roughly 12 hours a day for this to be accomplished to par. I (and many others) see no such activity going on reflecting any such claim. Perhaps you can understand why so many are questioning what goes on inside those buildings that no one can see?
I absolutely agree that this "is not a situation to be dealt with lightly" and I too take this very personally as I have to drive by your facility day after day knowing that there are over 100 animals behind those closed doors on days when the temperature is well over 85 degrees outside and way higher inside. You continue to refuse to allow the public to enter and you still have to question our motives?
I too would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have finally decided to speak up and make their voices heard on this issue. These doors have been closed for way too long. I encourage all of you who have been silent in fear of backlash to speak out. This is not a private business run by private funds, this facility is funded by (us) the public and it is our right to demand assurance regarding the welfare of the animals!
I will end with what I believe had been stated in the initial letter to the editor "Prove us wrong -let us in."
Give us back our country
To the editor:
As I write this we find Eric Holder our attorney general, the highest law enforcer officer in the country, meeting with a group of newsmen trying to justify his action regarding his part in signing the warrant allowing the government to pry into the personal life of the newsman James Rosen.
Because this action took place without the knowledge of Mr. Rosen it was a direct violation of the Second Amendment. A few days ago, Mr. Holder stood before Congress and under oath stated he had no knowledge or recollection of being involved in such a transaction. However the records tell a different story. His statement before Congress, while under oath, has cast serious doubt on the man's integrity. The activities of our journalists cannot be invaded by the government in order to seek out sources of information. This is a direct infringement on the constitution.
Mr. Holder has demonstrated in the past his lack of willingness to pursue and prosecute other cases still pending. Congress is still waiting for the actual facts regarding the transfer of guns to Mexico known as Fast and Furious. These weapons were used to murder people in Mexico and took the lives of two Americans killed on our soil.
I would like to quote a lady who spoke before Congress. She is a member of the Tea Party and because of her conservative values has been continuously harassed by the IRS. With tears in her eyes she pleaded with the congress, "Give me back my country."
For the sake of our survival as a free nation I strongly agree with this fine lady. Gives us back our country before the damage is beyond repair.

If you were like many people, you had a device tucked away in your car for emergencies, as voice plans were expensive.

Fifteen years ago the cleantech sector as we know it today did not exist. Green and "clean" were relegated to the tree huggers and granola hippies of Big Sur. But as more scientific research pointed to climate change, and people realized that our oil reserves will one day dry up, a plethora of politicians, celebrities and even businesses took up the cause and began to shift the public's view. People are starting to think differently – companies are starting to think about "greening operations," people are exploring new technologies such as the electric car or solar panels and society is embracing new practices such as recycling – and in some cities like Seattle – even composting.Read More

I have to say I agree with Chaco on this one. I think veganism is inherently moralizing it's just that some vegans do a better job than others of keeping their moralizing to themselves.

Novell 4.91 + Lightspeed Systems- Regaining Internet or an Account
Well, my account was disabled. I guess I was caught on a proxy, use them to read manga and such during teacher aide periods. I can get on the computer just fine bypassing the login screen but from there Lightspeed blocks EVERY webpage except the schools website. I get on by typing in a fake username, hitting the advanced tab, and deleting the context. I can also get onto the network genuinely by using my sisters middle school username and login (I correctly guessed her password) but again no internet. Because she is in a different school it is a different context.
Two years ago we could access the internet just fine by bypassing the login, we did this because it gave us computer administrative rights (still does) but last year they prevented us from gaining internet access. Maybe they upgraded their netware?
I've checked and compared the IP information from both an authenticated account and a login bypass, they are the same. Somehow the admin wised up and figured out how to have lightspeed block all internet traffic outside the school's context.
I know how to access the command prompt, both authenticated and unauthenticated, and I can bring in any program on a flash drive.
1. Could I somehow bypass lightspeed systems? (Remember I cannot reach a proxy site and I hear JAP is slow)
2. Could I log on borrowing someone else's account (one time thing) and use some tool to gain admin rights and either A. Re-enable my old account or B. Create myself a new one?
I really do not mind not having an account so much because I can save all my files to a flash drive, but I need internet access (at a reasonable speed) to kill time during aide periods and do in school assignments that require research. To have the system re-enable my account I need to go through the principal and they have a no tolerance policy with proxies plus who knows how long it'll take.
Also, I can navigate DOS fairly well. I've already been through the network files on the H: drive and used such commands as nlist.exe to view the systems information.
Re: Novell 4.91 + Lightspeed Systems- Regaining Internet or an Account
Look into tunnelling portable apps firefox over ssh. That'll make your traffic go encrypted over port 22 instead of plaintext over 80, which should allow it to pass right by the restrictions.
Re: Novell 4.91 + Lightspeed Systems- Regaining Internet or an Account
I should probably just google this question but im in no hurry, would SSH require my windows account be logged in? I've messed around with putty and such before but it didn't really work out.
I probably should've posted this before but the netware uses Zenworks v5.6. Something about this has interested me.
I can log in through novell with my sisters old account because they are on the same tree (the whole district is on one server). The context my school uses is highland.k12.slcsd. The context I login with is clayton.k8.slcsd. My school uses the server 708-FS1 while clayton uses 408-FS1. When I look at the Novell Connections info it says I have connections to both. I probably should have tried setting 708 as primary before because 408 is primary by default. (I haven't had the chance to try this yet) Also, when bypassing the log in and checking the novell connections there are of course no servers listed.
Two days ago someone crashed lightspeed systems...it was completely gone. Today it came back but now people who bypass login can connect to the internet. I'm sure this won't last long so I'd like suggestions now.
Before lightspeed crashed I had done an ipconfig /all and found both the Windows IP Configuration and the NIC had the Primary DNS Suffix set as the school's context "highland.k12.slcsd.net" and the DHCP was Yes. After the crash I ran it again and both the DNS fields were blank and DHCP was set to no. Could this have something to do with the firewall being able to block out unauthenticated/out of context users?
I've gone into the Control Panel's IP settings and looked at the DNS settings, I can't remember what they were but I tried to set it to manual and type in the context as the DNS suffix with the ipconfigs DNS's listed. I did this before the crash and it didn't work but I probably did it wrong. After they repair everything with the blocks in place could I try setting the DNS suffix as clayton.k8.slcsd.net or would there be conflict like it not working with the two DNS IP's listed? Being in a different school I don't see how this could work because they use two different servers 408 and 708. If this has to do with DHCP and DNS could someone tell me how to set it so that lightspeed would permit connection?
If it isn't either of the above could Lightspeed have a feature that allows it to transport or have copied into it the verification of all the accounts and deny access to someone not on an account? How could it do this?
How does Novell login work? Does logging into novell rather than bypassing mean the computer has been assigned an extra value or had a setting changed? Because without the novell login and without lightspeed I'm still connected to the server with internet (the gateway is the same address as what's typed into the server field of the login screen). It's just this internet is now regulated with a firewall that somehow knows which computers haven't been authenticated.
Finally, like I said before I have access to the command prompt and information on the districts server. After I've logged in on my sister's account I can go to the server's drive letter (h:) and type "cx ." a couple of time to go up a couple directories. When I reach .slcsd I type in "cx highland.k12". Does CX mean my computer has actually changed context or am I just using the prompt like a browser to view information? In anycase I also know the commands Nlist.exe and Map. I don't know how to use map though or know if it even has any use.
Is there a way I could actually change my context while I'm logged on without needing a new account?

BBQ Chicken Tenderloin Kabobs
Compensation was provided by Food Network, Inc. via Glam Media. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and are not indicative of the opinions or positions of Food Network, Inc.
Here's a fun fact about me—I am a huge Guy Fieri fan. Imagine my glee when I found out that he's hosting a fun show on Food Network called Guy's Grocery Games!
Sunday, May 25th's episode, (that you can catch at 8/7c), will feature a grilling challenge. Inspired by the theme, I decided to have a little grilling challenge of my own, right at home!
My mission was to create an original BBQ recipe for the grill that uses no more than 5 food ingredients, so, over the weekend I made a quick trip to the supermarket to gather my ingredients.
I wanted to make a simple BBQ recipe that would be flavorful and satisfying for me and my husband, but also mild enough for my picky children to enjoy.
I ended up creating a super fast and easy barbecue sauce using just ketchup, dark brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and garlic. I put this wonderful barbecue sauce on some skewered chicken tenderloins and boom—amazing BBQ chicken tenderloin kabobs that the whole family loved.
What is it about threading meat on skewers that makes it taste that much better? These grilled chicken tenderloin kabobs were incredible, and will definitely be making their way into my family's regular meal rotation for the summer.
You can grab the recipe below. I hope you love these grilled chicken tenderloin kabobs as much as my family did. You can thank Guy's Grocery Games for the inspiration, and don't forget to check out the new episode on Food Network this Sunday at 8/7c.
Guy's Grocery Games features four talented chefs competing in supermarket-themed cooking challenges as they navigate their way through the aisles, adhering to real-world obstacles doled out by host, Guy Fieri, such as shopping on a budget, substituting out-of-stock ingredients or grabbing groceries at closing time. Ultimately, the food does the talking, as one-by-one the losing chefs "check out," with the last chef standing going on a shopping spree of a lifetime worth up to $20,000!
Watch Guy's Grocery Games Sundays at 8/7c on Food Network.
BBQ chicken tenderloin kabobs
1 1/2 cups ketchup
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 lb. chicken tenderloins, skewered
1. Combine ketchup, dark brown sugar, garlic and Worcestershire sauce in small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to ensure ingredients are incorporated. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer about 15-20 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. You can also cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
3. Preheat grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken tenderloins onto skewers. Brush with barbecue sauce and grill over medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until juices run clear.

Hi Crissy. Oh gosh! I thank the existence of Pinterest coz I found several of your food pins on my feeds. And this BBQ recipe is hella delish. The skewer marks make it even more sumptuous. And the sauce!!! Worcestershire, brown sugar, garlic, and ketchup have always been such a good combo. This is really a perfect example of classic BBQ sauce that never gets old. No need for more spices and flavorings. I make it over and over again in my pantry even without the meat. I like to pour it on my rice, and voila, I have a complete meal.
oops, I mean "grill marks" instead of skewer marks.
Ok now this is making me hungry! I need to get my grill-on and try this recipe ASAP.
Love this Crissy! I'm all about the simple stuff lately. AND we just bought our first grill. Woohoo! Beautiful photos!
This is so perfect for any season.. The ingredients are so easy to prepare.. I'll definitely try this too!
