WAILUKU - For South and West Maui legislators, 2010 will be all about hanging on to what they thought they already had.
Money may have already been budgeted for a new Kihei high school, but South and West Maui Sen. Roz Baker said her top priority for the legislative session would be to make sure that the $27 million already appropriated isn't raided or allowed to lapse as the state struggles to deal with its fiscal crisis.
"The land has been identified. They're in the process of designing it. We just want to keep it moving," she said.

Baker's other priorities for her district include making sure funding stays in place for previously budgeted major projects, including the Lahaina bypass and Maalaea Small Boat Harbor improvements.
"I don't want any of those pieces we put in the budget previously to fall out now," she said.
South Maui Rep. Joe Bertram III also said he would be keeping his eye on the Kihei high school funds and other previously funded projects in his district.
"We put in so much stuff, and it kind of got derailed by this budget crisis," he said. "So the thing now is making sure we don't lose our share."
Other priorities for Bertram included introducing a bill that would fund the development of a master plan for Makena State Park, including plans for a campground and walking trails.
A similar bill introduced last year passed out of the House, but did not make it through the Senate, he said.
"I'd like to continue that, because we do need camping here," he said. "Local families need somewhere to go."
Among the new projects she planned to put forward, Baker said she would try again this year to get funding for the Lahainaluna High School Foundation's "Redo the Imu" campaign to develop a modern athletic stadium at the campus.
"The oldest school west of the Rockies does not have a bona fide football field with a track, lights and all that," she said.
The foundation has determined it needs $7 million to complete the project, but Baker said she would break the request into smaller components so that the project could at least move forward if not all the funding were approved.
"We're going to see how much we can get," she said.
Also in West Maui, Rep. Angus McKelvey said he wanted to be realistic about his budget requests this year. It would be a waste of time to request funding for projects that the Lingle administration wouldn't move forward, he said.
"Here's the strategy," he said. "Realistically, because we're in a deficit year, you need to know what the governor is going to possibly release. I'm going to align my request with the administration, and I think by supporting each other, hopefully we'll get things funded."
He planned to support a $55 million request for realignment work on Honoapiilani Highway and a Department of Transportation plan for improvements to the Kaanapali Parkway intersection.
But he said he would hold off on requesting money for other projects, like a walkway and pedestrian bridge between Wahikuli Beach Park and Canoes Restaurant in Lahaina that wasn't in the Transportation Department's plan.
"I'm not going to propose it because I know they'd withhold the funding," he said.
In other capital improvement projects, McKelvey said he would support a request from the state Department of Education for an erosion control project for the Lahainaluna football field.
"On the makai side of the field, there's huge ravines and rivulets, and it's eating away at the field itself," he said.
He was still waiting to see what projects the state Department of Land and Natural Resources would propose for small-boat harbors in his district.
"I'm hoping the improvements for the dock at Mala Wharf will be included in there," he said.
On the policy side, McKelvey planned to propose another round of reforms to the state's procurement code.
Bills passed last year, including a new law requiring companies bidding for state contracts to put up a bond in order to protest how the contract was awarded, have been "very successful," he said.
This year, McKelvey planned to propose adding a 5 percent "preference" for local businesses that bid on state contracts. The preference would deduct 5 percent from the bid, giving the Hawaii business an edge.
He also wants to shorten the time period allowed for bid protests to be decided.
"It's going to shove money out the door faster into jobs," he said.
McKelvey said one reason he was inspired to propose the legislation was because he saw bid protests hold up improvements to the Lahaina Small Boat Harbor for years.

Sweet Seasons Dairy Queen - Stromsburg, NE - Phone: (402) 764-2811
Take-out, aka take-away food services are fast catching up in Stromsburg. Typically they would mean the customers to eat out, as opposed to eating inside a restaurant. They are usually domestic, small food outlets that serve traditional food and popular local cuisines in Stromsburg. They are convenient facilities for customers to order food online or over the phone. Food may be collected from the outlet, or delivered on one's doorstep.
With the food industry increasingly taking to the web, there has been a sudden spurt of these take-out services. They are usually small enough to accommodate only a kitchen and take-away window to parcel food, and may or may not provide table service.
Quality of a take-out food unit may not always be of rank. Contrarily, some may even compromise with it while serving a large customer-base.
Foods that are commonly available in these service units are sandwiches, kebabs, steaks, wraps, pizzas, sausages, Chinese/Thai/Korean/South Asian side dishes, and other quick snacks.
Today, when every 1 in a 2 is racing against time and wouldn't care to indulge in a time-taking, filling breakfast/lunch/ dinner, the take-out food facility is a boon. It is not too difficult to spot a take-out in one's city, and grab a quick bite. The food is commonly eaten out of its package on the street.
Biofuel: Food In, Fuel Out, But Is It The Answer We're looking For?
(Long Island, NY) In today's environmentally-conscious worldview that is being shared by more and more people, alternative fuel sources are the Holy Grail of the "green" movement. There are many new ways to eschew hydrocarbon-laden gasoline when it comes to filling up your vehicle's tank at the pump, and one of the most oft-talked about are biofuels- mainly ethanol and..

It is a quite sad fact that the olderyou acquire, the less your expectations are bewildered. You start tospot patterns in everything - from peoples behavior to the filmsand music that would once have entranced you. Now and then, though,something springs up that brings you by surprise - a person willapologies for walking in front of you in the supermarket, or you willwatch a film that sends you in entirely the wrong direction.
DragonHunter from Zed is that form of game. Although it falls short in anumber of areas, it succeeds a great deal of brownie points forpulling the rug from under me. My expectations of the game weredependent upon the name, the typical fantasy title display, and anintro that speaks of a magical warrior defeating all the armies ofDevildom. This was obviously going to be an RPG-lite hack nslasher.
It is not, while. There are elements of characterprogression and sufficient of up close and personal encounters onassorted mythical creatures, but at it is heart Dragon Hunter is anold skool 2D shooter.
Playing a winged heroic type with the mostun-heroic name of Eric, you must fly from left to right, blasting allthat moves. This being a mobile shooter, you fire automatically, butunlike in most mobile shooters you have direct control above a handymelee attack.
When you hammer the Okay/5 button,Eric whips out with his bladed weapon of selection, on successivestrikes building up an increasingly destructive combo. Therequirement for such combos becomes apparent when you recognize thatyour enemies scarcely keel above after a shot or two. Each and eachfiend has sufficient hit points to warrant being called a mid-levelboss in most other shooters, on your vanilla attacks barely creatinga dent.
This is where the RPG elements come in, as you spendyour hard earned spirit points on weapon and ability upgrades inbetween levels.Although this creates Dragon Hunter far moreinteresting as compared to most other shooters, still, it as wellcreates it something of a grind to acquire via. Thanks to thehardiness of the cannon fodder, as well as the chunkiness of yourcharacter in relation to the limited display space, repeated death isalmost inescapable.
The developer has allowed for infiniteproceeds, but that just appears to acknowledge the games inherentunfairness. This is the main trouble on Dragon Hunter, over and abovefew dodgy translation work and badly explained upgrade systems.Still, it is packed on only sufficient bright thoughts that it mightonly create the game-of-the year shortlist for a size-able nicheaudience.

On Aug. 7 at a post-show party for his musical, "Guys and Dolls," in London's West End, Swayze told PEOPLE of Gibson, "We are good friends. Leave him alone. He knows he screwed up, he doesn't have an anti-Semitic bone in his body and he's not prejudiced, he's not biased in any way."
Swayze continued, "Sometimes when you have a couple too many you're stupid. … Especially when he's been on the wagon for so long and the one moment he tries to experiment the world finds out about it. It's just sad."
Admitting he has a problem with alcohol, Gibson, 50, has twice apologized for his remarks, which included his saying: "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." The star has since been charged with two misdemeanor counts of driving while intoxicated and has hired criminal defense lawyer Blair Berk, who previously has represented Paul Reubens, Cameron Diaz, Lindsay Lohan and Queen Latifah, according to ABC News.

Devlin, who, along with his wife, is Jewish, also said, "If Mel is an anti-Semite, then he spends a lot of time with us, which makes no sense. But he is an alcoholic, and while that makes no excuse for what he said, because there is no excuse, I believe it was the disease speaking, not the man."

Attention all pet owners!
Mike Richards was overlooked in the beginning.
Leading up to the 2001 Ontario Hockey League draft, scouts focused on blue chippers such as Patrick O'Sullivan, Nathan Horton and Jeff Carter.
Few ventured north to watch the Kenora kid in action. Critics said the 16-year-old lacked polish and couldn't get past his wonky stride.
But former Kitchener Rangers general manager Jamie MacDonald saw potential and used his fourth overall pick to select the five-foot-nine, 160-pound centre.
It was the first year the OHL held the annual draft on a conference call. When the Rangers called out Richards' name in the fourth slot, some general managers burst out laughing.
Now, as the team celebrates its 50th anniversary season, Richards is one of the most successful players in franchise history with a list of accomplishments virtually unrivalled on the ice
RANGERS REPORT BLOG: Josh Brown's top 50 Rangers
The 27-year-old has won six of hockey's top championships — an OHL banner, Memorial Cup, world junior championship gold medal, the American Hockey League's Calder Cup, Olympic gold and, this past spring, the granddaddy of them all, the Stanley Cup.
That's about one title every two years since coming to Kitchener.
"Winning follows Mike and it's not accidental," said New Jersey Devils bench boss Peter DeBoer, who coached Richards in Kitchener when the club won the OHL title and Memorial Cup in 2003.
"This isn't a case of a guy being in the right place at the right time. He's either driving the bus in most of those situations or, if not, he's sitting in the first few seats."
Coaches call Richards 'Clutch.' They say he's quiet, but a competitor. Humble and hard working. Strong willed, but willing to do anything. In short, the kind of guy you love to have on your team, but hate to play against. None are surprised by his achievements.
DeBoer was the first to witness Richards' winning ways nine years ago. It was the skipper's second year behind the bench in Kitchener and he was trying to shed the label as a coach who couldn't win an OHL championship after two failed trips to the final with the Plymouth Whalers.
The Rangers were loaded with studs. Future NHL players Derek Roy, Steve Eminger and Gregory Campbell were among them. But it was a sophomore who stood out.
"There was just a tremendous respect with how he carried himself and his willingness to do whatever it took to win a game," said DeBoer. "He was just a special kid."
DeBoer slapped an 'A' on the feisty forward's sweater, even though he was only 17. The move paid off as Richards led the team in scoring and the Rangers captured the J. Ross Robertson Cup as league champs.
A few weeks later, the club doubled the Hull Olympiques 6-3 to win its first Memorial Cup in 21 years. Richards had five points in four games, but it was his play away from the puck that impressed.
"Stats are always something that people look at," said DeBoer. "He's a true testament that they definitely don't tell the whole story. Mike never finished in the top five in league scoring his entire junior career and he played four years. Yet all he did was win."
Richards' two-way game helped him crack Canada's roster for the 2005 world junior hockey championships. The national team was mired in an eight-year gold medal drought and it was up to Red Deer Rebels coach Brent Sutter to restore the glory.
Canada was teeming with potential. Players such as Sidney Crosby, Patrice Bergeron, Jeff Carter, Dion Phaneuf, Shea Weber, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Richards dotted the lineup.
Sutter remembers meeting Hockey Canada head scout Blair Mackasey during the summer evaluation camp that year to discuss choices for team captain.
"He said one guy that I was really going to like to lead the team is Richie," recalled Sutter. "He was bang on with it. All those other guys are great leaders … it's just at that point in time Richie was the right fit to be the captain."
Richards played on an energy line with Nigel Dawes and Anthony Stewart and was Sutter's go-to guy while short-handed, on faceoffs and against the other team's best lines.
"I don't think there is one specific thing with Richie," said Sutter. "It's just a lot of things that he does, he does the right way. You just have the full package there. That's why he's a leader wherever he goes."
Canada defeated Russia 6-1 in the world junior final to break the winless skid and Richards returned to Kitchener with a gold medal dangling around his neck.
Months later, the Philadelphia Flyers draft pick would be celebrating another feat.
The Flyers' farm team — the Philadelphia Phantoms — advanced to the second round of the AHL playoffs and were looking for a boost. Richards got the call as soon Kitchener was bounced from the OHL's western conference final.
The promotion was a big deal. The NHL cancelled its season due to a labour dispute earlier in the year and league rosters were stacked with high-end prospects.
"It was the best it has ever been," said former Phantoms coach John Stevens, now an assistant with the Los Angeles Kings. "All the young stars today were playing in the league that year because of the lockout.
"At times it can be difficult when you have the team together the whole year and you add players. In Mike's case, it really wasn't.
"He was the guy on his knees at the end of practice picking up pucks and showed everybody a lot of respect."
Richards received rookie minutes early on. By the time the Phantoms swept the Chicago Wolves to win the Calder Cup, he was killing penalties, on the power play and one of the first options late in games.
"He just has a calm about him," said Stevens. "Even in tight games, he was totally focused and was quietly talking to veteran guys, making sure he was on the same page.
"His world is based on how the team is doing around him and not necessarily what's going on with him."
It was that quality that Mike Babcock admired when preparing for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. As coach of the Canadian side, he was flush with talent, but there was only room for 13 up front — four forward lines and an extra.
Richards was in his fifth year with the Flyers at the time and captained the club for a few seasons. Babcock was polling his hockey pals when he gave Stevens a call.
"My last words to Mike were that if I was picking a team, I'd have a really hard time leaving Richards off of it," said Stevens. "He finds ways to win hockey games."
That was enough of an endorsement for Babcock and Richards got the final roster spot.
"So I phone him and tell him he's the 13th forward and he started to laugh," said Babcock, who coaches the Detroit Red Wings. "Excuse my English, but basically what he was saying was '@$&% you, I'm not the 13th forward.' That's him in a nutshell."
A familiar trend followed. Richards inched his way into regular minutes and formed the nation's shutdown line with Rick Nash and Jonathan Toews as Canada went on to beat the United States 3-2 in overtime to win gold.
"He was a big part of it," said Babcock. "He knows how to compete and he's a little bit nasty when he's doing it. It's not by accident some guys keep winning. All the big time players, when the game is on the line, are better."
Richards has always been able to turn on that switch. It was part of the reason the Los Angeles Kings traded for him last year. Stevens, now one of two assistants with the Kings, was quick to support the move.
"He's definitely a clutch performer," he said. "He's able to change momentum physically or by making a defensive play."
Los Angeles claimed the final playoff spot in the western conference last spring, but shocked league champions the Vancouver Canucks in five games in the first round. The Kings lost just three games the rest of the way and went on to claim their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.
"Richards was a critical piece of our puzzle," said Stevens.
Ironically, the Kings beat DeBoer's Devils in the final. And as the coach watched the series unfold, he was reminded about what made Richards special back in Kitchener.
"For me, he has a coach's mind in a world class player's body," said DeBoer. "He had that unique ability to know what was needed at the right time and the willingness to go and do it. Whether that was a big goal, a hit or a fight, he was willing to do any of the dirty work."
Eleven years after leaving Kenora for Kitchener, Richards continues to build a case for the Hockey Hall of Fame.
And those OHL general managers who snickered when the Rangers picked him back in 2001 aren't laughing now.

1. Mike Richards — What more can he do? He owns six of hockey's biggest championships, including an OHL and Memorial Cup title.
2. Dwight Foster — He's the all-time leading point getter in franchise history (382).
3. Brian Bellows — Captain of the 1982 Memorial Cup squad. Enough said.
4. Derek Roy — Helped lead the Rangers back to a national title in 2003.
5. Al MacInnis — Displayed his nasty slapper first in Kitchener. His five goals in one game are the most by an OHL defenceman to this day.
6. Scott Stevens — A physical presence during the team's Memorial Cup drive in 1982 and played the same way, winning Lord Stanley's mug three times in the NHL.
7. Bill Barber — Potted 90 goals in final two seasons and went on to have one of the best NHL careers of any former Ranger.
8. Andre Benoit — Defenceman still holds OHL record for most points (8) by a blueliner in one game. He's also the franchise leader for points by a rearguard.
9. Paul Reinhart — Held franchise record for most points by a defenceman (231) until Benoit passed him in 2004.
10. Wendell Young — Won a series of championships in his career, including a Memorial Cup with the Rangers and two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Edmonton Oilers have hired Rob Daum to replace Craig Simpson (although his duties will be somewhat different from the published job description).
Daum is a westerner, played for the Melville Millionaires (SJHL) a few years before Jarret Stoll was born in the same town. Daum went to the University of Alberta (a very distinguished university that has first class people everywhere, it truly is a quality institution) and eventually got into coaching.
He spent the late 80s in the WHL, the 90s in the CIS with the U of A, and then a couple of seasons ago got a job with the Minnesota Wild coaching their AHL team. Daum's reputation is a very good one, and his hiring at the NHL level is overdue.
What I don't know about coaching is a lot, but I'm hopfeul that Billy Moores grabs the PP by the short and curlies and makes it into something grand (maybe with Daum's help). After all, Ales Hemsky is a license to print money on the PP. Perhaps Daum and Moores can get someone to move their feet, have others hit the fricking net, and convince MacT that a Cory Cross-Toby Petersen type "guarding the blueline" isn't a good bet.
If the Oilers are going to succeed with this bunch it will be due to a glorious, historic powerplay. It starts with new ideas. God knows the old coaching staff ran out of them (PP ideas) a long time ago.

Brad Jones named head coach of the Austin Toros
It's amazing what happens once the NBA season is close. All of a sudden, we have plenty to write about. Today the Spurs announced that Brad Jones will be the head coach of the Austin Toros in 2010-11. Jones takes over for Quin Snyder, who joined the Philadelphia 76ers as an assistant coach this summer.
Per the press release:
Spurs Sports and Entertainment today announced that Brad Jones has been hired as the head coach of the Austin Toros, the NBA Development League team owned and operated by Spurs Sports and Entertainment.
"We are excited to have Brad join our organization,†said RC Buford, president of sports franchises for Spurs Sports and Entertainment.  "We are confident that Brad will provide outstanding leadership and instruction for the Toros players. His coaching style will provide our fans with an outstanding experience while still focusing on the Toros main mission, which is player development.â€
Jones spent the last three seasons as the head coach of the Utah Flash. He was named the head coach of the Flash on May 24, 2007. As a D-League expansion team the Flash enjoyed a successful inaugural campaign under Jones, finishing the 2007-08 season with a 24-26 mark. During the 2008-09 season the Flash posted a 32-18 record and advanced to the 2009 D-League Finals. Utah posted a 28-22 record in 2009-10, making a second straight playoff appearance. Jones was relieved of his coaching duties in July of 2010.
Prior to joining the Flash, Jones served as a regional scout for the Utah Jazz for six years.
Here's the big question in this announcement: Will Jones' former assistant, Mark Madsen, follow him from Utah to Austin?
Okay, it's not the biggest question, but it's still a fun one. In all seriousness, Jones has a pretty solid reputation around the D-League, and should sustain Austin's fine reputation for developing talent.

Product Info
"Linear phase equalization, without the latency." - Blue Cat's Liny EQ is an 8 bands linear phase equalizer with very low latency and comprehensive visual feedback: thanks to its highly optimized linear phase kernel, it processes the signal without phase distortion, with an unusually short latency (less than 3 milliseconds). Its wide range of gain (+-40dB) and multiple filter shapes make it very flexible for a graphic EQ, letting you create unique EQ curves. The dual channels version offers independent settings for the left/right or mid/side channels, with flexible linking capabilities for an optimal workflow. The highly customizable user interface includes a first class spectrum analyzer and spectrogram viewer. It lets you choose the best layout and display options to adapt the plug-in to your own workflow. Thanks to its ability to update the EQ curve continuously using MIDI or automation and its additionnal "Mix" control, dynamic equalization tasks can be performed easily when used together with any of our control generation plug-ins.

ok so i just got all the characters for that book so i can get into the big cannon room in karikaio village, i dont how to spell it. Well i had to go to work so i saved the game as soon as i got into the room with the cannon. Well when i loaded the game back up and it wont let me leave the room or warp the cannon as long as that guy is around, so i fiqured i need to talk to him but their is one small problem, he is no where to be found! and if i try to leave hell tell me where am i going?, what should i do,
your screwed. i heard there is ABSOLUTLY no way to get out. You have to restart your file....
that sounds bad =\ gotta remember not to do that if you have to restart
Post is there ^^^
How dare you state a different point of view, you complete fanboy! /sarcasm
what zelda is a load of crap if has glitches like dat ( how stupid) why send the game out if it has some stupid glitches like dat? i feel really sorry 4 you if i waz you i wud go crazy at restarting and do dis
Spoiler Alert!too bad dat u aint far enough 2 change into a wolf when ever you want depends how far u are
den u could warp out soz
i put spoiler round it incase it might be a give away 2 summut or a surprise that u might not wanna know in da game (until mu get dat far)
lol I assume your not as far in the game as we are, and by that I mean no offence, its just that the place he is refering to is way after you get the ability to transform at will. He even mentioned that he can't warp out of the room for the sole reason the guy is still kinda present. Lucky for me I just spoke to him the 1st time and warped the fuk outta there otherwise I would also be starting over.Originally Posted by twilight_link
Only thing that would bother me about starting over is having to do the roll goal game over to get...Spoiler Alert!Frog Lure, cus them red dips on the last few stages took the piss. I even tried cheatin on one by hoping straight from the start circle to the end, but she said it was classed as cheating when I got the ball straight in
But that wont be a thing when they finally release the ARMAX for Wii, by that time I will have obviously complete TP several times probably, so it wont matter about using codes.

Brezina lacks stamina too. He always seems to run out of gas in his LP.
Lysacek's coach: "It is going to be a long recovery"
Globetrotting by Philip Hersh
1:50 p.m. CST, January 24, 2013
Includes direct quotes from Frank Carroll.
Per this afternoon's tweets from @USFigureSkating, Lysacek spoke to the media in Omaha (Jan 27) (emphases added):
- "I'm feeling great and I'm glad to be here. I'm fully recovered and I'm healthy. If this event was 3 weeks later, I'd be there" @EvanLysacek
- Lysacek says he admires Plushenko and his success after a layoff provides encouragement. Although "I feel like Vancouver was yesterday"
- . @EvanLysacek in next year "the plan is to compete as much as possible. I want to be World #1 like I was in 2010."
- . @EvanLysacek "For the first time, I am pain free."
- Lysacek says he was training two quads for his free skate and noticed the pain during practice. #Omaha2013
- Sounds like @EvanLysacek's quad of choice is the toe. #Omaha2013
ETA, and then the man himself tweeted:
At the @USFigureSkating Men's Freeskate. Sizing up my competition. Check out the live broadcast at 2 on @NBC. @NBCOlympics #Sochi2014

Hey, Evan showed up here in a suit! Does that count? He caused an "Evan Jam" in the concourse. So far we have had Hughes Jams, Weiss Jams, Yamaguchi Jams, etc but no Todd Jams...didnt see him this week. But Rusty Capp, the hired comedian, grabbed Scott Hamilton and checked his credentials and had Ryan Bradley take him away....it was the funniest skit they did all week.
LOL at Evan talking about being World #1 again. Talk about a delusional dreamer.
If Lysacek is surrounded by sycophants like Scott Hamilton and Sandra Bezic, it's not surprising he's so delusional about his chances of defending his OGM.
Talk is cheap. I personally don't think we'll see Lysacek competing again.

The Film
During the four years of shooting this teen chronicle in South Philadelphia, Raelene tackles parenting, Anna struggles with sexuality, De'Yona grapples with loss, and Lisa wrestles with relationships. Filmmakers Jane C. Wagner and Tina DiFeliciantonio render a longitudinal portrait that celebrates the fragility, power, and drama of adolescence with uncommon patience and respect. A rare and disarming peek into the very real lives of teenage girls, the film provides access to the seldom-heard voices of young women working to shape their identities in the '90s.
The Filmmakers
- Jane C. C. WagnerProducer
- Tina DiFeliciantonioProducer
Partners in Naked Eye Productions Ltd. since 1988, Tina DiFeliciantonio and Jane C. Wagner's critically acclaimed work has been screened at museums, film festivals, educational institutions, and, have been broadcast in countries throughout the world. Their collaboration began while at Stanford University's masters film program where DiFeliciantonio made her directing debut with the National Emmy Award-winning film Living With AIDS and Wagner, the award-winning Hearts & Quarks.

kids crew socks
04/01/15 | By Bambi C.
My son, only 3 years old, loves wearing these wonderful socks. He prefers thorlos over other brands of socks. I love that these socks don't strangle my sons ankles, they are luxurious and well thought out.
I love Thorlos!
01/17/15 | By Norma B.
Even though I am a 59 year old woman, I still have childlike feet. (My shoe size is a children's size 2.) I have struggled to find socks that fit my feet, as sock manufacturers seem to want to make socks fit a lot of sizes when they are dealing with children's shoe sizes. This is understandable since children's feet seem to grow quickly, and what fit two months ago, might be kind of snug today. Size 2 seems to be in the wrong place for comfort. Either the socks are too large and bulk up in my shoes, or they are very tight, causing pain in the tips of my toes. Occasionally I could find socks that fit comfortably, but they seemed to be short-lived and disappeared from the market very quickly. Now, however, I have found Thorlo. I am very happy with these socks and other types I have purchased from Thorlo, as they fit comforably, PLUS they provide padding under my soles, making each step a thoughtless activity, since there is no discomfort or pain involved! Yay, Thorlo! Please don't change the sizing of your kid's socks—at least until after I die! :^)—as they are great for me just the way they are!
Holes in socks
08/20/14 | By Elizabeth J.
I was recently informed by a thorlos customer service person that you have to, have to being key wear shoes for their warranty to be honored. We purchased 12 pairs for my son a couple months ago and probably half the pairs have holes in them. I called after we spotted the first hole. And after they told me he had to wear shoes, which he's not allowed to in the house so our carpet stays neat, they would replace one pair. Then I got the lecture on they weren't covered. I was also asked if I purchased the right size of sock to make sure his foot fit in properly, which I did. I will not be buying anymore socks because of the amount of money that we spent a couple months ago went down the drain for socks that didn't last him long.
Small feet need socks
12/27/13 | By John B.
Bought these socks for my wife who wears a size 2 shoe. She has had others before and loves them. She wishes, though, that they would come all white as the blue doesn't always go well with some of her outfits when she occasionally will wear socks with her sandals.

These socks are a wonderful alternative for women who have small feet. None of the adult sizes currently on the market fit properly; they're too big! Try them, you'll love them too. Kathi

My 11 year old boy play tennis and He said he can not feel them the socks are great
Best exercise socks
01/03/13 | By Andrea W.
A lot of cushion, washes well, wicks moisture beautifully and fits great. My only wish is that they offered different styles such as the ankle roll and different colors for boys and girls.
Best socks for small adult feet!
Regular socks bunch up on my adult women's size 5 feet. These socks fit perfectly and are very comfortable. Plenty of cushioning.

During normal school hours, scientists are busily working in Julius Ervin's classroom.
Ervin, Gadsden Magnet Elementary School's new middle-school science teacher said all of his students are scientists once they walk into his classroom.
A first-year teacher, Ervin said he wants to get his students to be just as excited about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) as he is. Ervin also wants to provide his students with a strong foundation in the
This past Friday's highly anticipated game pitting East Gadsden against Rickards High got off to a fast start as both teams scored on its second offensive play. The Raiders struck first: Senior wide receiver Javon Wooten caught a screen pass and sprinted 50 yards into the end zone to give his team a 7-0 lead with 11:29 left in the first quarter. The Jaguars answered less than a minute later when sophomore running back Tony Street scored on a 78-yard run, which tied the game.
Buckwheat's, a new place in town just opened.
I was close to ecstatic when I realized the second word, (in much smaller print), after "Buckwheat's," was "BBQ."
One of my all-time favorite things to do in this lifetime was to get up early and meet my good friend Joe Faggione for a hearty breakfast of buckwheat pancakes.
Now I search far and wide and cannot find a restaurant that serves those delicious, dark buckwheats.

The QEMU Accelerator (KQEMU) is a driver allowing a user application to run x86 code in a Virtual Machine (VM). The code can be either user or kernel code, in 64, 32 or 16 bit protected mode. KQEMU is very similar in essence to the VM86 Linux syscall call, but it adds some new concepts to improve memory handling.
KQEMU is ported on many host OSes (currently Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris). It can execute code from many guest OSes (e.g. Linux, Windows 2000/XP) even if the host CPU does not support hardware virtualization.
In that document, we assume that the reader has good knowledge of the x86 processor and of the problems associated with the virtualization of x86 code.
We describe the version 1.3.0 of the Linux implementation. The implementations on other OSes use the same calls, so they can be understood by reading the Linux API specification.
KQEMU manipulates three kinds of addresses:
KQEMU has a physical page table which is used to associate a RAM address or a device I/O address range to a given physical page. It also tells if a given RAM address is visible as read-only memory. The same RAM address can be mapped at several different physical addresses. Only 4 GB of physical address space is supported in the current KQEMU implementation. Hence the bits of order >= 32 of the physical addresses are ignored.
It is very important for the VM to be able to tell if a given RAM page has been modified. It can be used to optimize VGA refreshes, to flush a dynamic translator cache (when used with QEMU), to handle live migration or to optimize MMU emulation.
In KQEMU, each RAM page has an associated dirty byte in the array init_params.ram_dirty. The dirty byte is set to 0xff if the corresponding RAM page is modified. That way, at most 8 clients can manage a dirty bit in each page.
KQEMU reserves one dirty bit 0x04 for its internal use.
The client must notify KQEMU if some entries of the array init_params.ram_dirty were modified from 0xff to a different value. The address of the corresponding RAM pages are stored by the client in the array init_parms.ram_pages_to_update.
The client must also notify KQEMU if a RAM page has been modified independently of the init_params.ram_dirty state. It is done with the init_params.modified_ram_pages array.
Symmetrically, KQEMU notifies the client if a RAM page has been modified with the init_params.modified_ram_pages array. The client can use this information for example to invalidate a dynamic translation cache.
A user client wishing to create a new virtual machine must open the device `/dev/kqemu'. There is no hard limit on the number of virtual machines that can be created and run at the same time, except for the available memory.
It returns the KQEMU API version as an int. The client must use it to determine if it is compatible with the KQEMU driver.
Input parameter: struct kqemu_init init_params
It must be called once to initialize the VM. The following structure is used as input parameter:
struct kqemu_init { uint8_t *ram_base; uint64_t ram_size; uint8_t *ram_dirty; uint64_t *pages_to_flush; uint64_t *ram_pages_to_update; uint64_t *modified_ram_pages; };
The pointers ram_base, ram_dirty, phys_to_ram_map, pages_to_flush, ram_pages_to_update and modified_ram_pages must be page aligned and must point to user allocated memory.
On Linux, due to a kernel bug related to memory swapping, the corresponding memory must be mmaped from a file. We plan to remove this restriction in a future implementation.
ram_size must be a multiple of 4K and is the quantity of RAM allocated to the VM.
ram_base is a pointer to the VM RAM. It must contain at least ram_size bytes.
ram_dirty is a pointer to a byte array of length ramsize/4096. Each byte indicates if the corresponding VM RAM page has been modified (see section 2.2 RAM page dirtiness)
pages_to_flush is a pointer to the first element of an array of KQEMU_MAX_PAGES_TO_FLUSH longs. It is used to indicate which TLB must be flushed before executing code in the VM.
ram_pages_to_update is a pointer to the first element of an array of KQEMU_MAX_RAM_PAGES_TO_UPDATE longs. It is used to notify the VM that some RAM pages have been dirtied.
modified_ram_pages is a pointer to the first element of an array of KQEMU_MAX_MODIFIED_RAM_PAGES longs. It is used to notify the VM or the client that RAM pages have been modified.
The value 0 is return if the ioctl succeeded.
The following structure is used as input parameter:
struct kqemu_phys_mem { uint64_t phys_addr; uint64_t size; uint64_t ram_addr; uint32_t io_index; uint32_t padding1; };
The ioctl modifies the internal KQEMU physical to ram mappings. After the ioctl is executed, the physical address range [phys_addr; phys_addr + size[ is mapped to the RAM addresses [ram_addr; ram_addr + size[ if io_index is KQEMU_IO_MEM_RAM or KQEMU_IO_MEM_ROM. If KQEMU_IO_MEM_ROM is used, the writes to the RAM are ignored.
When io_index is KQEMU_IO_MEM_UNASSIGNED, it means the physical memory range corresponds to a device I/O region. When a memory access is done to it, KQEMU_EXEC returns with cpu_state.retval set to KQEMU_RET_SOFTMMU.
Input parameter: int nb_pages
Notify the VM that nb_pages RAM pages were modified. The corresponding RAM page addresses are written by the client in the init_state.modified_ram_pages array given with the KQEMU_INIT ioctl.
Note: This ioctl does currently nothing, but the clients must use it for later compatibility.
Input/Output parameter: struct kqemu_cpu_state cpu_state
Structure definitions:
struct kqemu_segment_cache { uint16_t selector; uint16_t padding1; uint32_t flags; uint64_t base; uint32_t limit; uint32_t padding2; }; struct kqemu_cpu_state { uint64_t regs[16]; uint64_t eip; uint64_t eflags; struct kqemu_segment_cache segs[6]; /* selector values */ struct kqemu_segment_cache ldt; struct kqemu_segment_cache tr; struct kqemu_segment_cache gdt; /* only base and limit are used */ struct kqemu_segment_cache idt; /* only base and limit are used */ uint64_t cr0; uint64_t cr2; uint64_t cr3; uint64_t cr4; uint64_t a20_mask; /* sysenter registers */ uint64_t sysenter_cs; uint64_t sysenter_esp; uint64_t sysenter_eip; uint64_t efer; uint64_t star; uint64_t lstar; uint64_t cstar; uint64_t fmask; uint64_t kernelgsbase; uint64_t tsc_offset; uint64_t dr0; uint64_t dr1; uint64_t dr2; uint64_t dr3; uint64_t dr6; uint64_t dr7; uint8_t cpl; uint8_t user_only; uint16_t padding1; uint32_t error_code; /* error_code when exiting with an exception */ uint64_t next_eip; /* next eip value when exiting with an interrupt */ uint32_t nb_pages_to_flush; int32_t retval; uint32_t nb_ram_pages_to_update; uint32_t nb_modified_ram_pages; };
Execute x86 instructions in the VM context. The full x86 CPU state is defined in this structure. It contains in particular the value of the 8 (or 16 for x86_64) general purpose registers, the contents of the segment caches, the RIP and EFLAGS values, etc...
If cpu_state.user_only is 1, a user only emulation is done. cpu_state.cpl must be 3 in that case.
KQEMU_EXEC does the following:
cpu_state.retval indicate the reason why the execution was stopped:
KQEMU_RET_EXCEPTION | n
The virtual CPU raised an exception and KQEMU cannot handle it. The exception number n is stored in the 8 low order bits. The field cpu_state.error_code contains the exception error code if it is needed. It should be noted that in user only emulation, KQEMU handles no exceptions by itself.
KQEMU_RET_INT | n
(user only emulation) The virtual CPU generated a software interrupt (INT instruction for example). The exception number n is stored in the 8 low order bits. The field cpu_state.next_eip contains value of RIP after the instruction raising the interrupt. cpu_state.eip contains the value of RIP at the intruction raising the interrupt.
The virtual CPU could not handle the current instruction. This is not a fatal error. Usually the client just needs to interpret it. It can happen because of the following reasons:
* memory access to an unassigned address or unknown device type ; * an instruction cannot be accurately executed by KQEMU (e.g. SYSENTER, HLT, ...) ; * more than KQEMU_MAX_MODIFIED_RAM_PAGES were modified ; * some unsupported bits were modified in CR0 or CR4 ; * GDT.base or LDT.base are not a multiple of 8 ; * the GDT or LDT tables were modified while CPL = 3 ; * EFLAGS.VM was set.
A signal from the OS interrupted KQEMU.
(user only emulation) The SYSCALL instruction was executed. The field cpu_state.next_eip contains value of RIP after the instruction. cpu_state.eip contains the RIP of the intruction.
An unrecoverable error was detected. This is usually due to a bug in KQEMU, so it should never happen !
The main priority when implementing KQEMU was simplicity and security. Unlike other virtualization systems, it does not do any dynamic translation nor code patching.
Note 1: KQEMU does not currently use the hardware virtualization features of newer x86 CPUs. We expect that the limitations would be different in that case.
Note 2: KQEMU supports both x86 and x86_64 CPUs.
Before entering the VM, the following conditions must be satisfied :
If EFLAGS.IF is set, the following assumptions are made on the executing code:
If eflags.IF if reset the code is interpreted, so the VM code can be accurately executed. Some intructions trap to the user space emulator because the interpreter does not handle them. A limitation of the interpreter is that currently segment limits are not always tested.
The VM code is always run with CPL = 3 on the host, so the VM code has no more priviliedge than regular user code.
The MMU is used to protect the memory used by the KQEMU monitor. That way, no segment limit patching is necessary. Moreover, the guest OS is free to use any virtual address, in particular the ones near the start or the end of the virtual address space. The price to pay is that CR3 must be modified at every emulated system call because different page tables are needed for user and kernel modes.

Syracuse, NY -- Another retailer says it needs no baggage and wants to concentrate on its core biz. If you caught the Store Front e-Newsletter sent Wednesday, you may remember the parent of Sak's Fifth Avenue saying it will close its Club Libby Lu chain by May.
From Chain Store Age:
Talbots to Sell J. Jill
Hingham, Mass. -- Talbots Inc. said today that it plans to sell its J. Jill brand and concentrate on its namesake brand due to current economic conditions.
The company also said it pulled its forecast for the second half of fiscal 2008 due to the planned sale.
Earlier today, Talbots said that its fiscal third-quarter same-store sales fell 13.9 percent, hurt by declining customer traffic.
"In light of the current macroeconomic environment, we therefore feel it is a strong move to focus solely on executing the successful turnaround of our core brand. While we have made solid progress in improving the J. Jill brand's operation, we have made the strategic decision to pursue its sale," chief executive Trudy F. Sullivan said in a statement.
The company said J. Jill will fall under discontinued operations for the fiscal third quarter and all prior periods. Talbots added that Talbots Kids, Mens and U.K. operations closed during the third quarter and will also be listed as discontinued operations.
Boy, howdy. At least Talbots is giving J. Jill a fighting chance by putting it up for sale. Saks is killing Club Libby Lu, though I suspect someone may step up and rescue it, if Saks is willing.
On to...
* Juvenile7198 comments, "hey bob, I just thought I would let you know that another store has or is going to bite the dust. Sak's Fifth Avenue announced they are going to close their entire chain of Club Libby Lu stores by May '09 and that includes the one we have here at Carousel. This is just proving that this expansion they are building is going to be much more worthless especially with all these upcoming chains announcing store closings. By the time they finish building there won't be any available tenants to fill those spots so pretty much in my opinion I am seeing Destiny USA as just a waste of the city's tax dollars."
* jlewisinsyr comments, "Juvenile7198: I don't think it proves anything. There is a pull back in the retail environment, but two things always happen with retail...
1) Retail must continue to expand to continue to grow revenue.
2) Retail outlets will and do fail.
"There are a thousands of stores who we have never seen in this market and some we once did, who,even in this market are looking to come back.
"We are also a test market for many things, and retail outlets is one of them. We sometimes get new store designs before anyone else and our economy Upstate, despite all the doom and gloom, is very diversified and even with contraction in the country (and global) economy we have a stable base to work off of. We are not centralized in one industry as we were in the past (a lot of the pain of the fleeing of manufacturing).''
* izzzalot comments, "I don't think one store closing can be counted as a reason why the expansion will fail. Give me a bunch and I may agree, but Carousel is still in great shape."
I agree with both of you, jlewisinsyr and izzzalot. Good stuff.
But Juvenile7198 makes the same point that scores of shoppers at Carousel have made when they've seen or hear of coming empty spaces at the mall. "If they can't fill this part, how are they going to fill the expansion?"
Well, how they're going to fill the expansion is anybody's guess, since they aren't saying and no one from Pyramid or Carousel seems to want to return my phone. About anything.
But as to the core part of the mall, it's still pretty darn impressive after 18 years. That's getting downright ancient in mall years, yet Carousel always seems full of stores -- I don't know what the current occupancy rate is, but it's got to be quite high -- and full of shoppers. At any given time of day. What it commands for retail rental-per-square-foot is probably at or near the top of the mall industry rates. Again, impressive for a market this size.
And if you do an inventory, many, many of the stores that have left have left because of a situation with the corporate owner -- not because the mall "did something" or wasn't busy enough.
Sure, it could use upgrades here and there (let's start with the restrooms). But again, this is a mall that has a lot of mileage on it, and for the most part, still looks pretty sharp. They've kept it up, and made constant improvements and we often get the latest prototypes of store chains (Hollister and Victoria's Secret, to name but two of many). Plus: In a market with three malls, when people say they are "going to The Mall," you know which one they are talking about.
One more point: Yes, there's going to be a lot of retail blood-letting in early '09, especially if this is going to be one of the worst holiday shopping season in a couple of decades. Chains WILL pull back, and if they pull out, be hesitant about blaming The Mall.
On to...

La Paloma Country Club to Renovate Course
In 1984 Jack Nicklaus played the first round of golf at La Paloma Country Club after he completed his design of the original 18 holes. Nearly 25 years later, Nicklaus has returned to Tucson, Ariz to renovate the now 27-hole facility.
"Some holes I like better than others, but I didn't see one hole that I didn't like," Nicklaus said after a visit last month. The purpose of that visit was to begin plans for a greens and bunkers renovation on nine holes, a project that began in early May.
Over the next three summers La Paloma Country Club will embark on a $3 million renovation for the three nine-hole layouts - called Ridge, Hill and Canyon. The work also involves converting the bent grass greens to a new hybrid Bermuda turf on all 27 holes, and modifying the contours of the putting surfaces.
"We are extremely lucky to have the greatest golfer in history improve on what is already an incredible golf course," said general manager Bill Petrella. "The best part is that at no time will we ever have less than 18 holes of magnificent golf available for members and resort guests."

I'm sorry, but the fact that you say the Browns passed on Wentz because they thought RGIII was better is the dumbest thing I've read, and so far from the truuth that it's downright ignorant. They made that trade because they felt the package of picks they got back in return was better than Wentz. Was it wrong to pass on Wentz? Probably. But saying they did it for RGIII is so wrong. They got a first round pick back (which they thought would be high, either way, its a first round pick) AND they still selected Cory Coleman, who looks to be a terrific WR. So yea, you lost a lot of credibility by saying they valued RGIII over Wentz. I'd actually like to know where you even got that idea from.
No Zane Gonzalez is a joke. Dude is the best kicker in the country.

Looks like there will be no SP2 for Windows 7:
Despite W7 being in full support until 2015 and extended support until 2020. Oh boy, this will be fun to install W7 in two years and then installing the 300+ updates.. and what about the gazillions of post SP1 hotfixes? Are they seriously expecting everyone move to W8? EVEN BUSINESSES? Hey, boys and girls, if you expect businesses to move then you shouldn't optimize the GUI for social-crap primarily.
So, the new product is just a worse deal for a lot of user cases and the reliable older product gets ditched at a phenomenal rate (even the badmouthed Vista got a lot more respect from MS when Windows 7 appeared - it got Service Pack 2 in the same year as W7 RTMed and has received the Plattform Update at the W7 release)
So it's not only about the good old traditional desktop-Windows customer, it really looks like the want to annoy (and lose?) the business consumers as well.
Apple envy too much? Fact is, especially for business Win8 is FUBAR. Just the training costs alone.. and for what? Apps like Win 8 mail? I thought Microsoft's strategy was going experimental with W8 on the consumer and tablet front but keeping serving and tending W7 for the enterprise and professionals. That dual strategy would make sense for now. But with moves like this they are annoying their biggest customers to no end for no good reason.
Are they really this delusional that they think W8 is really this awesome that even business users will love it in its current form? Really?

Judith Regan
What Do Rush, Howard, Beavis and Butt-Head Have in Common? Among Other Things, the Brashest Editor in America
Such tactics have worked for Regan, the hottest, brashest, loudest—and currently most famous—book editor in New York City. Aside from shepherding offerings from Kathie Lee Gifford, Dawn Steel and Georgette Mosbacher into the book world, Regan also made celebrity writers out of Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern. Limbaugh's The Way Things Ought to Be spent 54 weeks on The "Sew York Times best-seller list in hardcover, and the paperback is selling briskly as well. His sequel, See, I Told You So, also went straight to the lop of the charts last year, bumping Stern's Private Parts, which has some 1.25 million copies in print, down to second place. Regan's most recent zeitgeist-savvy product, the Beavis and Butt-head tell-all, This Book Sucks, spent six weeks on the best-seller list as well. "I've never seen anything quite as extraordinary in my life," says her very happy boss, Dick Snyder, chairman and CEO of Paramount publishing.
Still more extraordinary, perhaps, is the way Regan has managed to become a celebrity in her own right, frequently appearing on talk shows and in the gossip columns. Regan's controversial authors have certainly helped—Stern, for instance, refers to her as "Judas Limbaugh" on his radio show, giving her a hard time for publishing his conservative counterpart. But Regan herself, an Isabella Rossellini look-alike who wears Armani into battle, is not exactly shy and retiring. She expresses herself loudly and clearly on virtually any subject, from the brilliance of her authors to how much she hates to shop. And she becomes positively vitriolic on the subject that most consumes her: the "horrible" breakup of her marriage to Robert Kleinschmidt, a New York City financial planner. The couple were married in 1987 and had a daughter, Lara, in 1991. Shortly after that, they split up. The divorce is not yet final, and Kleinschmidt refuses to discuss the matter. Regan, for her part, swears she will never marry again.
In all things, Regan's resolve is legendary. She is famous at Simon & Schuster for trying to control the fate of her books—from editorial content to jacket copy to promotion. "There are very few doors that Judith can't get through," says a colleague with grudging admiration. "If one exists, she'll try to go through anyway."
Naturally, Regan's authors love her passionately. Limbaugh, who says he never considered writing a book until Regan called him out of the blue and began badgering him relentlessly, calls her "flawless as an editor." And Stern's glowing acknowledgment in Private Parts reads: "An editor's job is to push you, teach you and to wear miniskirts with black mesh stockings, all of which Judith did so well." Even her noncelebrity authors have experienced the full Regan treatment. "She hired kids in New York to stencil the sidewalks with the name of my book, says Wally Lamb, a Connecticut high school teacher whose first novel, She's Come Undone, was published by Regan in 1992. "And she [successfully] banged it over the heads of people in Hollywood."
A woman this brash is not without detractors, of course—though they all refuse to be named. Regan knows she has enemies—in fact, she sees them everywhere and quotes them chapter and verse—but she dismisses them. "I don't think of myself as mean, difficult or bitchy," she says. "I think that I'm really strong and have a firm idea about what I want, where I'm going and who I am." Now that she is successful, she believes, people have started "creating myths" about her.
The real Regan story, she wants to make perfectly clear, is not complicated at all. "I am an average woman with average tastes and average concerns," she says. "And everything I have, I've built." She spent her early years on a farm outside Fitehburg, Mass., growing up without a lot of money in a large extended family that included her Sicilian-born maternal grandparents, her parents, Rita and Leo, both schoolteachers, and her two brothers and two sisters. Regan was the middle child or, as she puts it, the "monkey in the middle, craving attention at all times." When she was 10. the family moved to Bay Shore, N.Y. Regan credits her mother for instilling in her the will to succeed. "I still have this morbid fear that I won't get all As," says Regan. "She created a monster!" (Rita Regan, proud of her daughter's success but slightly embarrassed by her tendency lo exaggerate, prefers to say that she was simply "happy" when her children got As. When Regan hears this, she shouts, "She's lying!")
Regan attended Vassar College on scholarship, and after graduating in 1975, spent several years drifting from job to job and city to city. During this era, while living in Boston, she met David Buckley, a psychologist, whom she never married but who is the father of Regan's son, Patrick, 12. Though Regan says she and Buckley have a "decent" relationship, she also refers lo him as "the sperm donor."
In 1978 she landed a position al the National Enquirer, where for three years she wrote and edited stories about Siamese twins and "a little girl who was dying of old age." After that she moved to New York City and did brief stints at Woman's World and Real Life magazines, then worked as a producer for Geraldo and Entertainment Tonight.
In 1987, after meeting with editors at S&S about a book she wanted to write, Regan—with no book editing experience whatsoever—became a book editor. Jack Romnanos, now president of Paramount Publishing's Consumer Group, hired Regan because he liked her tabloid sensibility. "I thought [it] would be an interesting experiment," he says. "We very quickly found out it worked."
It worked perhaps too well. Regan now has her sights set on projects that go well beyond books. She is currently trying to create for herself a new position within Simon & Schuster (which is owned by Paramount Communications) that would allow her to create what she calls "entertainment product"—books, film or television programs—and she hopes to move with her two children to Los Angeles. She has also received an offer to do a radio show of her own. "Judith Regan, voice of rage, voice of reason" would be her sign-off, she says.
In the meantime, she says her biggest struggle—aside from finalizing her divorce—is trying to balance her frenetic work schedule with the demands of Patrick and Lara, whose art projects and photographs she proudly displays. That leaves little time for romance. Though there have been reports linking her with Limbaugh, both parties deny the rumors—she emphatically, he wistfully. She claims, in fact, that it's a relief, after thinking about sex "constantly for years," to be unattached.
And someday she hopes to find the time to write her own book, The Art of War for Women. It wall be an autobiography of sorts. For if nothing else, Judith Regan has fought long and hard to create herself, and the battle lines are clearly drawn. If you are with her, she will fight for you to the death. But if you are against her, well...as she puts it: "I hold a grudge forever. I believe in an eye for an eye." She laughs, then thinks the better of herself. "No," she says, "I believe in two eyes for an eye."

Celebrating the light amid the darkness
Who could ever forget December 2006?
Many of us were without heat, lights and power for eight consecutive days. It was the week that darkness dominated our lives. We were reminded how dependent we were on flashlights, candles or the glow of a cell phone screen.
Night after night as I drove across the I-90 floating bridge toward Mercer Island, I was stunned to see that unilluminated landmass silhouetted against the starlit sky. It was eerie. It wasn't right.
Since the dawn of human history, darkness has been a metaphor of what isn't right. Darkness (as you know) is not tangible reality in itself. It is simply the lack of light. Thus, it is an appropriate word to reference the absence of virtue, knowledge and life.
The godless deceive beneath the cover of darkness. The uninformed are trapped in the darkness of their ignorance. The dead are said to inhabit the "valley of shadows."
No wonder both Judaism and Christianity approach their holy days in December mindful of light. Hanukkah calls for candles. Advent and Christmas do as well. A flaming wick atop a taper of wax symbolizes God's divine intervention in a dark world of despair and hopelessness.
An ancient Hebrew prophet anticipated the day when light would deny darkness its right to reign. "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light. On those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned" (Isaiah 9:2 NIV).
For Jews, those words recall countless times when God has delivered His captive people and illuminated their future with hope. Christians see the birth of Christ as the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy. "In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" (John 1:4-5 NIV).
For both Jews and Christians, the Scriptures offer an invitation to look past this present darkness to a future bathed in the light of goodness, justice and peace. The light that has dawned is in the process of dispelling the darkness.
For now, darkness dominates both literally and figuratively. Wednesday is the shortest day of the year. News headlines are short on hope. Light seems in limited supply. But are you a glass half-empty or half-full person? This season invites you to be the latter. After all, come Thursday, the days start getting longer.
