John Guerriero: Musical cure for the summertime blues
One year ago, my wife said, "Well, you can't say you didn't get your fill of music this summer." One year later, I think the musical bucket spilled over.
And the best part? Most music was free or low-cost, with one big exception -- the Steely Dan "Best Summer Night" concert in August at Presque Isle State Park. Yes, $100 per ticket is steep, but not all proceeds fattened the wallets of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.
Some of the money will go to restore the Presque Isle Lighthouse. So it wasn't a Royal Scam.
Besides, we had a great time for what appears to be a biennial event after the Crosby, Stills & Nash show there two years ago.
The concert season always gets started in May with a late Thursday night show from Donna the Buffalo, the annual headliner for the Edinboro Arts and Music Festival. This year, I scheduled a vacation day on Friday so I could stay late and enjoy the show instead of coming into work like a zombie.
And this year, the festival closed Sunday with a set from singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale, with Donna the Buffalo as his backup band on a cool, sunny day that presaged our summer weather. The show rocked, though Lauderdale should do something about that leisure-suit style, which I'm sure looked just fine in the '70s.
Both shows were free -- as were all of the others that weekend -- other than a donation to help the festival.
I played the Father's Day card by suggesting another free show at the Pittsburgh Arts Festival to see a favorite -- alt-country rocker Lucinda Williams and her band.
Of course, free is relative. Our charge cards got a workout, with all the cool artwork on sale.
More free stuff: 8 Great Tuesdays on Erie's waterfront, which included a highlight for us -- Here Come the Mummies. And the show ended early enough that I didn't feel like a mummy, I mean, a zombie the next day.
We got a kick out of seeing the Duke Sherman Band (and our neighbor, Mark Murphy on bass) at the annual Blues & Jazz Festival, which seeks only donations.
We've also been introduced to Americana/roots bands, thanks to the great pass-the-hat house concerts hosted by our friends, Steve and Carrie. Humming House, Farewell Drifters and Grace & Tony, all amazing bands from Tennessee, have graced their house this year.
But summer doesn't have to end.
Our schedule this month includes two shows from punk/bluegrass band Grace & Tony -- one in Ohio and a 2.0 show at Steve and Carrie's.
By then, I will have had my fill. Until October.

The Citizens' Jury on Dog and Cat Management has now finished, but you can download the report (PDF, 5.2MB) that was developed by the Jury. Keep up-to-date with the outcomes here.
More than 10,000 unwanted dogs and cats were euthanised in South Australia last year and the issue of cat and dog management has been of long-term interest to the community.
The State Government has recently announced some reforms to dog and cat laws including tougher fines for dog attacks, moves to stamp out cruel puppy farms and changes to the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995.
The Citizens' Jury process was run by the Dog and Cat Management Board.
This Jury was asked to explore what further measures can be implemented or trialled to reduce these numbers. The government also sought a specific verdict from the Jury on the matter of whether de-sexing should be mandatory.
Citizens' Juries hear directly from the community and let citizens take charge of important – sometimes very passionate debates – which have broad implications for the state. This Jury met four times during June and July 2015.

Frankl on the Highest Good
Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning is one of the most powerful books I've read in my life.

Book Review: Is God a Mathematician?
An interesting read from author and astrophysicist Mario Livio. Unlike the title's suggestion, the text is not a metaphysical deep dive on God and the applicability of mathematics. While this may be disappointing, it is important to consider the author's perspective. Livio himself is not religious, though he has respect for those with a religious worldview. The tone of the text is agnostic as his interests are not in metaphysics/philosophy of religion, but mathematics. There is no … [Read more...]

Copleston on Knowledge of God
For Aquinas, knowledge begins with sense perception. 'Our natural knowledge takes its beginning from sense. Therefore it can extend only so far as it can be brought by (reflection on) the things of sense.' (S.T., Ia, 12, 12) Neither a strict empiricist, nor a strict rationalist, though Aquinas believed that though knowledge starts with sense perception, it's completed in abstraction - experiencing the particulars and reasoning towards universals.Knowledge of God entails both this meta … [Read more...]
Bryan Magee on Jesus
A surprising quote from Bryan Magee, one of my favorite historians and commentators of philosophy.

As he's an atheist with a lean towards Kantian metaphysics, we're quite far off on theology and metaphysics, but as truth-seekers and metaphysicians with an interest in morality, we stand together on the … [Read more...]

Scary Movie 3
- Directed by David Zucker
===Story=== This freewheeling parody tosses horror movies, Eminem, ''The Matrix'', and much more into a cinematic blender. ''Scary Movie 3'' centers around Cindy (Anna Faris, ''Lost in Translation''), a bubble-headed young newscaster who believes that a deadly videotape has some mysterious connection to the aliens who've been making crop circles in the cornfield of a local farmer (Charlie Sheen, ''Young Guns''), whose brother (Simon Rex) hopes to win a local rap contest. Along for the ride are Queen Latifah, George Carlin, Anthony Anderson, Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, Jeremy Piven, Camryn Manheim, Ja Rule, dozens of rap stars, and Leslie Nielsen as the President of the U.S. No need to have seen the first two ''Scary Movie'' flicks--though a few of the characters recur, the movie leapfrogs from gag to goofy gag, plundering ''The Ring'', ''Signs'', and ''The Others'' as needed. Silly and slapdash, but with a decent dose of laughs. ''--Bret Fetzer'' ===DVD Features=== * Audio Commentary by Director David Zucker, Producer Robert K. Weiss, and Writers Craig Mazin and Pat Proft * Forty-Five Minutes of Deleted Scenes * Behind-the-Deleted Scenes Featurette * A Behind-the-Scenes Featurette * A Hysterical Making-Of Spoof * Comical Outtakes and Bloopers * Hulk vs Aliens Parody Feature * Feature commentary with director David Zucker * Making of "Scary Movie 3"

I would never have guessed after watching movies about how painters carefully mix their paints from scratch. I am thinking of Matisse and a whole group of impressionists. Kind of breaks the careful mold. Housepaint though had been developed to be very durable and easy to use. That's what a painter wants right? Thanks for the very interesting share. +Jennifer Ouellette

Billy MacLeod Upset Over Pauline Medrano's Ties to Polling Location, Election Judge
In a letter posted this morning to his website, District 2 city council candidate Billy MacLeod urged city and county officials to move the polling location for one of the district's highest-voting precincts and questioned the appointment of its election judge by the office of his opponent -- incumbent Pauline Medrano.
The polling location for 3007 is Medrano Elementary School, the Election Judge for Medrano Elementary School is Ricardo Medrano, and the Precinct Chairman for 3007 is also Ricardo Medrano. I find it highly suspect that when Mr. Medrano did finally recues himself from his election judge position, he did so in favor of a Mr. Armando Cruise, who was then recommended by Councilwoman Pauline Medrano's office and appointed to the position. All this smacks of nepotism and lends itself to the possibility of accusations of impropriety. Today I am asking that you take immediate action to eliminate the shadow of impropriety that this situation creates.
We were told this morning that City Secretary Deborah Watkins went into a meeting about this very issue and was going to return our call; there's still no word hours later. And newly installed Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippens-Poole says she has been informed by the city that it doesn't plan to move the polling location, citing approval from the Department of Justice as a significant obstacle.
MacLeod admits his complaint about Ricardo Medrano as precinct chair isn't up to the city or county -- it's a party-elected position -- but he says it sends the wrong message.
"It's just the appearance," he tells Unfair Park. "It just looks like shit."
Two messages have been left at Pauline Medrano's office seeking comment.

MANCHESTER Police responded Thursday morning to an apparent suicide at the Dana L. Thompson Memorial Park.
Police went to the park around 6:10 a.m. to investigate the death. The name of the person has not been released.
Town officials said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding this death and police believe there is no danger to the public or visitors to the park because of the incident.
Town Manager John OKeefe said it was unusual for the towns police department to make a public announcement for a suicide but some residents who had heard about the investigation or had seen the police presence were concerned about public safety.MORE IN This Just InRutland got two goals from Eli Henni and Ryan McKay made three saves in notching the shutout as...

Fort LeBoeuf's McGuire takes fourth at PIAA Class AA tournament
HERSHEY -- Fort LeBoeuf's George McGuire only had to look to his corner for extra motivation throughout the three-day PIAA Class AA wrestling tournament.
Bison assistant Steve Waite sat next to coach Tim Simon for all of McGuire's matches at Hershey's Giant Center. The senior attempted to become LeBoeuf's first state champion since Waite in 2007.
McGuire (41-7) settled for fourth place in the 138-pound division. However, he reached Saturday afternoon's third-place medal match against South Park's Jake Wentzel with a pin of Palmerton's Josh Evans in the consolation semifinals.
That fall represented McGuire's 146th career victory, one more than Waite's previous standard for LeBoeuf's esteemed wrestling program.
Brad Malinowski, the only other Bison to medal over the weekend, placed eighth at 152. Blairsville's Andrew Doak edged LeBoeuf's middleweight 3-2 in their seventh-place final.
Malinowski went 35-12 in his final high school season.
- North East's Andrew Phelps was Erie County's other Class AA medalist.
Phelps took great advantage of the second chance presented to him when Mercer's Colton Smith, the District 10 titlist at 220, withdrew from the Northwest Region meet. That allowed the previously-eliminated Phelps to inherit the district's sixth seed, which he used to place third at regions and qualify for Hershey.
Phelps recovered from a loss in Thursday's first round to go 3-2 in the consolation field. He concluded his resurrected junior season at 31-8 with a 5-2 victory over Sam McCollum of Bermudian Springs in their seventh-place final.
- Cathedral Prep's Jake Gromacki and McDowell's Scot Augustine tied for the best consolation result by a county wrestler in the Class AAA tournament.
Each placed fifth in their last high school meet, Gromacki (32-4) at 120 and Augustine (40-4) at 285.
Augustine's last appearance with the Trojans stretched into overtime. He recorded back points with 18 seconds left in the extra minute for a 3-1 decision over Ryan Monk of Dallas.
McDowell departed the Giant Center with a second medalist in Tyree Spearman (31-6). The senior placed eighth at 182.

Video: A Coffee Farmer's Journey from Refugee Camp to Prosperity
June 20, 2013
Meet Athanasie Musabyimana, a Rwandan coffee farmer who has overcome tremendous obstacles to create a healthy, prosperous life for her family.
Today, on World Refugee Day, we honor the courage and strength of millions of people forced to flee their homes — men, women and children currently displaced and those trying to rebuild their lives years later.
Meet Athanasie Musabyimana. When violence broke out in Rwanda in 1994, Athanasie, 20 years old and eight months pregnant, fled to Tanzania. In the refugee camp, she gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Nzamwitakuze: "I will give you a name if you survive."
After returning to Rwanda, Athanasie worked the family coffee farm but struggled to make ends meet. Through the Coffee Initiative, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, TechnoServe helped Athanasie improve the quality of her coffee and earn a higher income. Today, Athanasie feels confident and optimistic about her daughter's future. "I want her to be bright, and to progress and prosper." Nzamwitakuze recently graduated high school and plans to attend university next year.

Skylight presents intimate take on 'Porgy & Bess'
In the summer of 1926, George Gershwin returned home from rehearsals for a new musical. Wired and needing to clear his head, he picked up a recent bestselling novel as bedtime reading. He didn't put it down until he had finished it the following morning. The novel was DuBose Heyward's "Porgy."
In "The Life and Times of Porgy and Bess: The Story of an American Classic," Hollis Alpert describes what happened next: Gershwin was so excited "by the story and its author's apparent musical sensitivity" that he immediately wrote Heyward and suggested they collaborate on an opera. Nine years later, it made a now-legendary Broadway debut as "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article(1)

Naked Cowboy battles former stripper
- From: NewsCore
- June 25, 2010
NEW YORK'S famous Naked Cowboy is threatening a bikini-clad competitor who bills herself as "The Naked Cowgirl" with a lawsuit unless she cuts him in on her profits.
Time Square tourist attraction Robert Burck sent a cease-and-desist letter to Sandy Kane in a bid to stop her from performing.
Ms Kane is a fixture of the city comedy scene and former stripper famous for closing her act by lighting her breasts on fire, reports the New York Post.
"Your use of Naked Cowgirl is essentially identical to the Naked Cowboy and is clearly in violation" of Burck's trademark, the letter said.
Burck is demanding that Ms Kane - who began appearing in Times Square in a red, white and blue cowboy hat and matching bikini several years ago - either stop making money off of his trademark or sign a "Naked Cowboy Franchise Agreement."
"If she's going to sell stuff and make money off of it, then, yeah, she's going to have to pay," Mr Burck said.
Most licensed franchisees are required to fork over $US 5000 for a year or $US500 a month and go through a screening process to ape the Naked Cowboy's act. Another Naked Cowgirl, Louisa Holmlund, is already a licensed franchisee.
"I've been naked for years," said Ms Kane, who has no intention of paying up. "You know how much money I make? Two dollars a picture. I'm not selling any products."

Iconoclast of the real world Posted at 12:24 PM June 25, 2010
Hey, he aint naked! That's false advertising. What makes him think he's the only person who's allowed to wear his undies in public. Now he's trying to get a monopoly on exhibitionism.


text: My Wife and I have cruised on the Dawn 2 years in a row Dec 2012 and Dec 2013 and have enjoyed the cruise and the Staff very much. We found out the ship will be moving to New Orleans and we have never been there before. We live in the "Redneck Riveria" Panhandle of Florida and can still drive there so we maybe trying it from New Orleans some day. We like the Tampa Port parking and easy access. We are again going out of there this Dec but on our first cruise ship we lived in the North and went out of Baltimore on the Carnival Pride 2 times to the Bahamas. That ship will now be in Tampa this winter and we will be back on it in Dec. The NCL Dawn was a great ship and we had the best times on it. We do not drink alcohol and it seemed like only a few times we ran into drunks. Security is great. We got interior room by the crews area and meant so many nice crew we felt like we belonged there. Sade the Giftshop lady was the greatest and friendliest lady we have had the pleasure of knowing both cruises. We will miss her. I really enjoyed the Mayan Ruins and was lucky enough to climb 2 of them. Cozumel was beautiful on the beach trip like living in a picture postcard. I took close to 1000 pictures all over on this cruise. I would recommend The Dawn to anyone. We traveled like 1st class but cost was not that much. Really Enjoyed the 2 cruises. Thank you Dawn Crew, we miss you!

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Antoine Roussel scored two goals for the Dallas Stars on Friday night in a 4-1 NHL preseason win over Florida in an NHL preseason game played at the home of the Panthers' AHL affiliate.
Roussel, who netted seven goals last season as a rookie with the Stars, scored less than five minutes into the game when he deflected in Trevor Daley's shot.
In the second period, Roussel took a centering pass after Chris Mueller's rush and quickly bounced the puck under goalie Michael Houser. Mueller also scored with less than six minutes to go.
Dan Ellis, subbing for Stars starter Kari Lehtonen, lost his shutout bid when Tom Gilbert scored a power-play goal midway through the third period.

Well it's been five days since I got to the hospital. It's a roller coaster ride for me. I have my good days and my bad. But the good news is that Adam is doing wonderfully and so is my health. So it looks like he's going to stay put for just a while longer.
My Dr. said she wants him in there until 34 wks which is a week from wednesday. I've been here for 5 days, what's ten more? So I'm thinking that if he makes it in there on his own until March 25th, then my Dr will deliver him. Atleast I hope so. I couldn't imagine spending more than two weeks in this hospital without being able to leave the room and bouncing back and forth from post-partum to L&D.
The only thing at this point that is driving me nuts is the IV in my arm. Other than that, I'm alright I guess. Oh and the bleeding/leaking. I get to shower which is the only thing that will keep me sane in here.
I have been doing crossword puzzles, sudoku and word finds. Also watching a lot of movies.
My boyfriend has been here every day with me. I told him to go out today and hang out with his friends but he insists on staying with me even though nothing is happening. I'm so lucky to have him.
Also, thank you everyone for your wonderful support. I don't know what I would do without the advice given to me.

In every NFL offseason a team has players who win and players who lose. There are players who gain more significant roles while others take a step back and see their role decreased.
Sometimes winning and losing is a product of a new contract or someone holding out, or finding out about suspensions or a number of related circumstances arising.
The Saints have a number of people involved in their organization who won and lost this offseason. Here are some of the most important of those.

Hi all! So I just joined this group and well I am a little bit confused and would like to hear from some other moms who may be going through the same thing. When I was 6 weeks pregnant my DD sperm doner walked out on us and then tried coming back into my life only to tell me to abort the pregnancy which I said heck no and he left again. Said he wanted to sign over rights and wasn't ready to be a dad. Well I said fine and that I didn't want his money or help and he has continued to write me once in a while trying to be an a**hole. Anyways- I had my baby girl on January 29th, 2009 and she is my world. He hasn't helped out what so eevr with anything and has said all along he wants a dna test which I am granting him soon as he gets back from iraq. But my question is..would it be better to go for child support or just file for sole custody or leave it alone all together? One part of me wants that child support because he should have to be responsible to, even though I said I didn't want it and I said that out of hurt and anger. But i've always had this gut feeling that his family ( mainly his mom and sister ) would get into his head and tell him to take my daughter from me, it scares me to no end. What way should I go on this??????

Okay. First, you can file for sole custody AND file for support.
Second--is he a decent person? I assume if he's military he at least isn't a drug addict, and has a steady income. Not that those things alone make a great father, but solely in terms of stability, does he meet those requirements? If he DID get visitation, which is likely if he files for it, would your DD be safe with him?
It is a common thing for NCPs (non-custodial parents) to threaten to "take full custody" if the CP talks about child support. In most if not all cases re: a stable CP, that doesn't happen. But again, he will likely get visitation at the very least. Can you accept that?
Ia gree that a child should have the advantage of financial support from Mom and Dad. But if you answered "no" to any of my questions, then you have to think hard. Can you make it without his help? Filing for CS needs not be about revenge and forcing someone to pay up for their actions. It's about doing right by the child. If that means that getting support financially could put the child's life in danger (if the father is not a safe person), then obviously the choice is clear. If you do trust him and are just angry at how this played out, then yes, I think you ought to file but be prepared for him to be involved.
GL. It's a hard choice. I filed after saying I wouldn't also, and my DD's father was very upset at first. Since then we've made great strides toward having an open communication and work to do what's best for our daughter.

Here is what I have to say....first you have the right to change your mind, simple!!!! So, with that said....I would say you should talk to him...maybe let him meet the baby and go from there. Now, unless your a bad mother, doing drugs, ect..then really, there is no way that they can take your dd from you. Unless your story is really different, then I would say pursue child support...now, there is always a good chance he will get visitation, but he may not want it...or, if he does you will have to allow your child to spend time with her father....good luck...I am sure you will do what you think is right for you and your child!
I kinda had the same situation as you, except almost 12 years ago. He wasn't an a-hole to me, but he was 10 years older than me (I was 18 at the time). And he didn't really seem to want to get his life together and be a father, not to mention he had other kids. He was doing drugs, hanging out in clubs and bars, etc. I moved from FL to NC to be with my parents, got my stuff together coming directly out of high school, and haven't looked back. I don't get child support form him and never have. Sure, times get hard and it would have been nice to have the child support on occassion, but I learned a lot from the whole experience, like how to take care of myself and another person without anyone's help and I feel more than confident I could do it again. Also, there was always the times when I thought about going after him for support, but then relished the fact that I would never have to listen to him bitch at me about where the support money went as some moms do. Not that I would have heard any of it anyway. We are pretty good friends, but I still make the rules and he knows it. Even his mom has commented on how I have managed to hold things together without help from anyone. But it basically boils down to what you think your daughter deserves.
First off, congratulations on your new daughter!
You're going to hear both sides on whether or not you should try to get child support (and the pp is right, it's not one or the other, you can get sole custody and CS).
You'll hear people telling you that it's your child's money and not yours, how dare you steal their money by not getting CS? (maybe you won't hear it here, but I've seen that opinion expressed) In some ways they're right- if you're going to be scraping by and your child will be suffering for the lack of money, then you should consider it.
You'll also hear of others, like me, who haven't pushed for CS because the other genetic contributor is an asshole, or we know it's too much trouble (potentially years in court) for the miniscule amount we may eventually get. I also know that my son will never lack for anything - I have a solid career, and my parents are there to help should we ever need it.
In the end, we cannot tell you what to do. It's going to have to be your decision, and there are no right or wrong answers here.
Now, if your fear is that the father might 'take away' your child by getting sole custody himself, he would have a hell of a hard time doing that unless you were such an awful parent (smoking crack while turning tricks while your kid screams from the floor) that the courts would remove the child father or no father.
Take away meaning get partial custody or visitation/access orders? Yeah, it might happen. Is he an awful person who shouldn't get that? I do understand wanting to have your child to yourself, not wanting to have to deal with another person. Believe me, I'd have a hard time dealing with it if Cameron's SD (sperm donor) tried to come back. But is that fair to your daughter? He may try to get access whether or not he has ordered CS. His family may push him to try this whether or not you have CS ordered.

And welcoming Anna, born 11th Aug 2014!
I want him to meet her and try to be involved. And I think he is a safe person, he saved me twice from a dangerous situation ( none that my daughter will ever be around ) And I know I can provide for her, i'll be going back to work in a few weeks along with starting nursing school in the fall. So that isn't the issue. It's about him needing to do what is right by this baby girl. I understand he can get visitation and that is ok as long as he follows the courts rules. He is active duty in the Army and just reinlisted for another 6 years so hopefully he isn't stupid enough to try anything then again ya never know. Another thing is his family, now I do NOT feel like my daughter will ever be safe around his family. I didn't trust being around them myself, all though they live out of state. So does anyone know how getting sole custody and CS work in Texas? I'm always told it's one or the other. I'm so torn and stressed over this and I hate that it could be rubbing off on DD and that could be making her fussy. Also how does visitations work if the mother is breast-feeding or do they even care about that?
Proud mommy to Payslie Addison who blessed my life on January 29th, 2009 @ 9:03am weighing in at 9lbs 2.8 oz & 20in long!
I advise filing for child support immediately. Law's vary from state to state but in NH if you file within 3 months of the child's birth....the absent parent can be ordered to pay arrearages back to the child's date of birth. Your state's child support division will no doubt order and pay for the DNA testing. And I'm positive the military would love to deduct his child support via wage assignment.
Stop standing in your own way. It is very hard to take a child away from their mother with our judicial system. Even if there are child support orders...that doesn't necessarily mean you have to have a parenting plan/custody agreement. And even if you do script one up in court, you can add any stipulations that YOU want!
Good luck. I would stand up for your child. She is entitled to support from both of you!

Corn Variety Test Data
The corn variety test is made up of tests planted at several locations throughout the state. Multiple-year and multiple-location data are presented which can be used as a basis for variety selection. The locations are as follows: Blackville - Southern coastal plain dry land and irrigated; Florence - Northern coastal plain dry land and irrigated; Clemson - piedmont bottomland. The data for the current crop year is usually posted in October or November.
The Dryland tests at Blackville and at Florence were lost in 2015 due to extremely wet conditions early in the growing season followed by extremely dry conditions.Request data from previous years >

How Much Is A Company That Knows All About Your Financial Behavior Worth? Turns Out A Lot.
It's no secret that consumer financial data is valuable: it determines if you get better rates on loans and allows lenders to predict the likelihood you'll pay back debts.

An income statement is a core financial statement that presents a company's operating results over a specific period of time, often quarterly or annually. Also known as an operating statement, an earnings report, or a profit and loss statement (P&L), an income statement starts with revenues and then subtracts costs and expenses (such as cost of goods, depreciation, amortization, and taxes) to calculate net income. The resulting number is often referred to as the "bottom line." Along with a balance sheet, a retained earnings statement, and a cash flow statement, an income statement is one of the key financial statements that summarize the finances of a company.

Customer Ratings and ReviewsClick here to write a review
It does the job but can be tedious to set and you must be careful when setting shorter irons.The honing guide does the job. I bought this guide to sharpen spokeshave irons. It's a very tricky procedure getting the blade square and at the proper extension. Be careful because you are dealing with a very sharp tool. You may want to consider wearing gloves to set your shorter irons. Once I got the guide set properly and secured I was happy with the job it did.
Stanley Chinese made Honing Guide set.I'd have preferred it to be slightly better finished, but then that's normal for most things from China it seems. For the price I think it's a good product. I've managed to sharpen two plan irons so far. A bit fiddly getting the blade clamped square to the stone but once you achieve that it works well.
Stanley Honing Guide SetWorst piece of rubbish I ever bought. It would work if you could lock your chisels or plane irons securely in place but this is impossible to do the way this guide is designed.The piece that is being sharpened will slide from side to side .The guide went in the bin but I kept the stone. I ended up making a DIY guide which works very well. I have never written a review before but when I came across this page with the great reviews and having wasted €30 I had to speak up.
I like itNever knew just how sharp my tools could really be. I just assumed that I had them sharp. Very satisfied with this Garrett Wade purchase.
Good valueSimple setup, good value.
Great investmentive been sharpening knifes for years with a wet stone and thought I was doing a good job with my planer blades, a few times with this and man was I wrong. This guide is silly easy to set up and use a great investment for success and enjoyment for quality projects.
Stanley Sharpening GuideI recently purchased the Stanley sharpening guide. It's two support rollers make it easier to use than the Lee Valley guide that I've been using, and it's ability to hold properly such things as cabinet chisels is welcome. The principle part, however, the clamping piece, is just stamped steel and although it works, it does not have a good feel. I am satisfied but not whelmed with this tool.
Excellent guideThis has been an excellent buy. I used to think I was getting a nice sharp edge on my planes and chisels until my wife bought this. Now I just feel silly. Even if you are positively sure you can sharpen straight, buy one anyway.
Good InvestmentWorks well on my dull chisels. They were dull until I got this tool. This was my first order from Garrett Wade & I am very pleased with their service. Placed my order Saturday night & it was in my shop Wednesday
Good investmentI purchased this and a chisel set on the advise of a machinist friend of mine. Great sharpener, very easy and effective. Only bad thing, it was so good a sharpening my old set, I didn't really need to buy the new ones. Finish the sharpening off with a fine polishing grit or stropping but it works great as is.

A transsexual screams in Saudi Arabia
We have heard about transsexuals in many countries struggling for their rights and for the freedom to live the way they wish to live. But today we hear about Saudi Arabia, one of the worst offenders of human rights violations. To break the silence and get out of the transsexual closet, Lina Alasfar was interviewed by AAI. This interview makes it clear that religion increases the suffering and intolerance that transsexuals face.
AAI's goal is to promote a secular humanistic world.

My name is Lina, I am twenty years old. I am from Syria but I was born in Saudi Arabia, and I still live there. I am a transsexual woman. I study theoretical physics.
I also write some scientific articles in Arab Atheist Magazine.
2- You know that many readers would like to know what do you mean when you describe yourself as transsexual.
I was assigned "male" at birth but I have a female gender identity. Hence, the gender assignment was incorrect, as it ignored the "sex" of my brain.
I have always had, and having, gender dysphoria (unhappiness). Due to the fact that I am living in the wrong gender group.
3- Did you know at an early age that you were a transsexual ?
I would say, my early memories were having an issue with my gender. About the age of three. I used to completely refuse having my hair cut for instance. I used to like playing with other girls, and other things.
4- Tell us about the transition process. Is it observed by a doctor?
Well, transitioning is – as I see it - a corrective process. It is very hard and dangerous, particularly here. There is no "standard" way to transition. Its aim is to make you authentic and comfortable with your body and gender role.
For my case "transsexualism " I take cross-sex hormones and testosterone blockers, electrolysis to remove the "unwanted" hair, seeing a psycho-therapist, and finally, having a gender affirmation surgery (GCS).
I have started HRT about five months ago, knowing the risk of having a feminine appearance in here, where rape culture is spread, but I had no choice but to start! It is extremely dangerous to be a transsexual here, particularly male-to-female.
5- Other than hormones what are you doing to help you in the transition?
I have recently found a trusted therapist, I hope she could help. However, not much can be done in Saudi.
6- Are you having similar people in contact with you in your area? Did you think of making a group?
TS is not so very common! I wish I could find TS where I live. I have a support group here though. Very small but I am glad I have it!
7- Are you planning to have babies at the future, are you able to do that?
I could be an intersex, but it's not a high probability. Mostly, I don't have a uterus or ovaries. As TS is caused by Androgen-Insitivity in the brain cells, not related to the genitals or gonads. But, like any other woman, I have always dreamt and wanted to bear and have children. I am optimistic that science will be able to transplant uterus and ovaries, mostly for the next generations. For me, adoption is the only way to be a mother!
8-How common is your case in the Middle East?
It is very hard to tell, but generally TS is not very common. However, there are other groups of people more common and being oppressed and discriminated against. Transgender people of non-binary (not male nor female), gays and lesbians. Homosexuals form about 12% of society, and they have absolutely no rights in the Middle East!
Transgender people are less common, but they have no way to seek therapy in an official and safe way. Also society is very hard on them, particularly during transition.
Intersex people, along with TS form about 1% of society, both face an unimaginable discrimination.
9- Tell us about the discrimination by the family.
Growing up in misogynistic society, surely my family will see females are inferior to males. The idea that I will "become" as they think a female, is not acceptable. They have no idea about the difference between gender and sex . So, they think I will "shift" to female, which is the inferior sex. From this vision, you can imagine how they are misguided about the truth.
They consider me a "disgrace", "shame" and wanting to challenge or to drag attention. I have faced a lot of hate speech, violence and threats of informing authorities from the people I love the most.
I have to hide my truth to be able to live, my family would certainly kill me if they had proof I am taking hormones. I know I will mostly lose them forever, when I complete transition and live as a woman – the true reality. It is not my fault, and I didn't ask for any of this! I was born a girl, they assigned me incorrectly, so what can I do ?
I guess the worst part is, you live all these years in a lie, and you have to sacrifice everything and the people you loved and lived with, played with and had nice memories with. Just to get rid of this lie!
10- Do you face discrimination at school ?
I have had some incidents of harassment. I am very careful now, I only show up for lectures or in the library. I have only one friend and he knows about my case.
11- Do they consider you a homosexual?
It is very common mistake to think I am a "gay man". I am a straight woman. My parents think I am and even think I am some sort of "gay prostitute". But the reality is very different, sex is something beyond my reach or interest currently. It is extremely disgusting now!
Transsexuals could have any sexual orientation, I know lesbian, bisexual and straight TS.
12- Do you think there are laws to regulate your case and similar cases?
Not at all, transgender people are not protected by the law. If they aren't fought by it!
I wish I could "elevate" to the level other women are oppressed!
13- May you get jailed?
And even worse, I know a trans girl from Saudi, not very personally. But she got jailed in men's prison and multiply raped and sexually abused. Then lashed for "impersonating" a woman...
It's illegal to get hormones and GCS.
14- How does religion stand against you?
Religion, well as it stands, it is a brutal enemy of LGBTQI+ rights. It clings so much with gender-binary. TS might not sense the problem in this. But most of the trasgender family will be out-of-recognition by that. Also gays and lesbians!
Speaking strictly about transsexuals and intersex, religious authority enforce gender by the apparent sex, and if it's ambiguous then it enforces sex on the individual. This is a crime! There is no recognition of Gender and Gender-Identity in Islam or Christianity. I would be considered " changing god's creation" and not a " real" woman! Some have stopped seeing it this way, and corrected their vision about TS and IS. Like in Iran. Nevertheless, it's still an enforcement of the binary. This is incorrect and inhumane!
Also, as a woman, I am seen as inferior, and I will lose my rights living as such!
15- Did you contact LGBT organizations? Were they helpful?
Unfortunately, there are no Arab LGBTQI+ organisations that actually do something! My life here is in danger. They are only limited to education, which usually misses mentioning trans* . I have talked to a lot of LGB people who don't even know what transgender/transsexual means!
16- How can AAI's readers now help you? What are you aiming at and expecting?
As I said earlier, my life is in danger, and I am sure there are many people like me who have been threatened because of their gender identity and sexual orientation.
I wish to leave this place to a safer one, where I can have a safe transition! And live my life as my true self! From inside and out!
17- Please give your contact info for the readers so that they can reach you closely.
https://www.facebook.com/lina.alassfer . This is the most I can share!
Thank you for the interview, Mr Aziz.

Hey, today is kind of a special day here at Bleeding Heart Libertarians. It's been exactly two years since our first post went up! So we're now two years old. Which means, if my recent experience with my own son is any indication, that the next year should be filled with lots of laughing about boogers and poop, defiant shouts of "No!", and bickering with our little brother and sister blogs. So, basically, more of the same.
It's been a good two years. We've put up almost 700 posts, racked about 1.3 million page views, and attracted almost 15,000 of what are (in my opinion) some of the highest quality comments in the libertarian blogosphere. And our Facebook page – where you can keep informed about what's going on here at the blog and what us BHLers found interesting elsewhere around the internet – just cleared 3,000 likes.
According to the wisdom of Google, our most popular posts these past two years have been:
- "Factual Free-Market Fairness" – Deirdre McCloskey
- "How Did We Get Here? Or, Why Do 20 Year Old Newsletters Matter So Damn Much?" – Steve Horwitz
- "Why I'm Not a Bleeding Heart Libertarian" – Will Wilkinson
- "What Are You Going to Do With Your Gun?" – Matt Zwolinski
- "Dear Left: Corporatism Is Your Fault" – Jason Brennan
Not quite as numerically popular, but among my personal favorites of the last year:
- "Why Libertarians Should Oppose Sweatshops" – Roderick Long (even though he's wrong, of course)
- "Libertarianism…Starting Now!" – Matt Zwolinski
- "Hayek on Serfdom and Welfare States" – Kevin Vallier
- "Thoughts on Unions" – Jacob Levy
- "BHLs and UBIs" – Jessica Flanigan
- "The Distinctiveness of Left-Libertarianism" – Gary Chartier
And, of course, our most recent prized acquisition here – Sarah Skwire – has already made a splash with several of her posts! We're looking forward to more of the same in the coming twelve months.
So thanks, from all of us here at BHL, to all of you out there, for reading our stuff, talking about us with your friends, arguing with us – all of it. It's been a blast.
Steven Horwitz
I should never be more popular than Aunty D! Justice is served. Congrats and happy birthday to all of us.
Aeon Skoble
Congrats on two years of lowering my productivity by being so interesting.
Keep up the great blog. I delight in your thoughtful and well-reasoned arguments for positions with which I generally disagree.
Congratulations! (You're totally wrong, of course, but I've enjoyed disagreeing.)
Michael Stengle
No! (congratulations)
So is Crooked Timber a sister or a brother blog?

Women Artists
The achievements of many women in the arts have, until recently, been downplayed or ignored. Spanning six centuries and hundreds of women, Women Artists presents a wealth of information on the subject, with more than 300 reproductions of works by extraordinary female artists, from pre-Renaissance times to the present.
Margaret Barlow's informative and well-researched text highlights the lives and accomplishments of both famous and lesser-known women who, despite societal pressures and restrictions, pursued successful careers in art through the ages, including Judith Leyster, Elisabeth-Louise Vige-Lebrun, Emily Mary Osborn, Kathe Kollwitz, Angelica Kauffmann, Lilly Martin Spencer, Paula Modershohn-Becker, and scores of others. Also included here are journal entries, letters, and excerpts from autobiographies of several women artists - fascinating for the light they shed on how these women perceived their life and work.

Thank you for visiting us as part of your journey towards better health. Our practice name reflects its founder, Dr. Amir Mehran's, academic background as the past Chief of the UCLA Bariatric Surgery program and the expertise he has accumulated over a decade of dedication to the field of metabolic surgery. In an industry inundated with "quick fixes" and flashy misleading sales pitches, he has strived to distinguish himself through an unwavering commitment to the three fundamental pillars of successful weight-loss surgery: patient education, preparation, and safety. These same guiding principles have been carried over to his new private practice, University Bariatrics. This dedication to outstanding individual care is why patients seeking bariatric surgery consistently make University Bariatrics their practice of choice.
Proven Long-Term Results
According to the National Institute of Health, "Only surgery has proven effective over the long-term for most patients with clinically severe obesity." Metabolic surgery is a significant life altering event. At University Bariatrics, we believe the goal of surgery isn't simply to look "slim", "thin", or "light", but to rid oneself of the many serious & life threatening risks associated with morbid obesity such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea, heart attack and stroke. In most cases, the decision to pursue surgery follows years of frustration and, in some cases, depression after numerous unsuccessful dieting attempts. Likewise, the decision to undergo metabolic surgery, should never be taken lightly, or without a set of realistic expectations. At University Bariatrics, we aggressively educate and arm our patients with a full understanding of the road ahead. We don't adhere to common assembly-line practices, as we feel strongly that they don't lend themselves to positive sustainable results. Instead, we continue to commit ourselves to utilizing superior knowledge and surgical techniques to best serve patients pursuing bariatric surgery.
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy and More…
When performed properly, weight loss surgery is indeed a highly effective tool to significantly improve patients' long-term health and quality of life. Before making the decision to undergo surgery, though, prospective bariatric patients should first be certain that they're receiving the very best care. Over one thousand patients have trusted the experience and expertise found at University Bariatrics & its founder, Dr. Amir Mehran. As a well-known & respected member of the California bariatric surgery community, he is credited with over 200 surgical publications & invited bariatric presentations, and considered to be an early pioneer and champion for vertical sleeve gastrectomy in Southern California.
Contact Us/Service Area
We proudly serve Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Moor Park, Newbury Park, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Camarillo, Conejo Valley, Ventura County and Oxnard.
For more information about minimally invasive sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, adjustable band revisions or other bariatric or non-bariatric operations, don't hesitate to contact us at (805) 322-7050 or use our convenient contact form.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - There are three weeks until the Phillies open the season at Texas, which means Bobby Abreu has three weeks to enhance a spring tryout that is two lackluster weeks old.
"Well," Ryne Sandberg said, "his batting practices are very impressive."
The Phillies manager did not offer much else about Abreu's spring performance. The outfielder turns 40 on Tuesday, and his early birthday gift Sunday was a 272-mile trek to and from Hammond Stadium. Abreu grounded out to the right side three times, one of which was a double play, in a 1-1 tie with Minnesota.
He is 2 for 18 (.111) in eight Grapefruit League games. The two hits are both singles. His .333 on-base percentage is boosted by five walks and a hit-by-pitch.

Season 2012/13 preview: Temple Fortune A
Temple Fortune have appointed Jonathan Cohen as assistant-manager. He has been working closely with boss Lee Fegan who says that Cohen "has settled into his new role very well and has hit the ground running".
Fegan has also appointed Adam Morris as coach and is in talks to bring in another. On the playing front, Jason Miller faces a spell on the sidelines after breaking two ribs in a pre-season friendly defeat against Los Blancos, while Ben Isaacs has suffered a setback on his return from a cruciate injury.
There is some good news for Fortune fans, however, after attacking midfielder Michael Goldberg committed himself to the club following interest from Brixton, Norstar and Boca Jewniors. He said: ""We have a great bunch of lads and hopefully have a few decent signings up our sleeves to add to that.
"Last season was disappointing but a lot of our players haven't stopped playing football over the summer and now it's a new season.
"I really won't be surprised if you see us up there challenging for the title."

GOING INTO the season, everybody pretty much thought that the Flyers' talent level suggested a team that would just make the playoffs or just miss, just in or just out. And so it was last night, when they started the game against the Detroit Red Wings just out of the playoffs and ended the game just in.
