There is something extremely sad in this particular case, though. I do not know about other my fellow- readers but I feel very depressed whenever I encounter a snarling woman- coprophag. That seems so unnatural, so mean, really. Women for me are the symbols of common sense and tolerance, the beacons of a civilized behavior. And when the otherwise intelligent lady of letters suddenly bares her fangs and snarls it is like losing the sense of humanity. Sad, what a waste, really.
Case 3. Three heaps of sh*t for Mr. R.
This case is of a personal nature because it was the only one when I tried a Tabasco sauce approach to cure a coprophag; alas, with no success. Mr. R. is a commenter on the opednews site; he does not write articles. My interaction with him revealed the three heaps of feces he sits comfortably in between:
- The US is the greatest country in the world; it single- handedly won the WWII against the Devil-lead Nazis; and whatever it does is terrific no matter what.
- Israel has to be loved unconditionally and Zionists are saints. All the Jews belong to them and if you love Israel it means you love the Jews.
- All Moslems are prone to violence and irrational behavior because of their religion and upbringing.
Any rational veterinarian would understand from those three edges that here we are dealing with the self- developed coprophag, a person who built his own comfortable, small Universe, powered by the heat from those heaps and feels perfectly happy there. I should have known better before I implemented the Tabasco sauce drop pointing out to him that none of the postulates above have anything to do with the real world and/or truth for that matter.
The unfortunate Mr. R. started snarling right away. At first he called me a 'Moslem cleric', which corresponds to the postulate #3; in his eyes apparently to be a Moslem cleric means to promote violence and intolerance. Then, when he realized his mistake he invented a definition of the 'lost soul, still sad from leaving the former USSR'. He denied me even my Jewishness because apparently it seemed that he 'loved the Jews' but could not stand that one particular Jew, that would be me. He also got really irritated at my statements about WWII and wrote that he was tired of the self- proclaimed expert of sorts. I let it drop after that. No need to bother. But for the sake of the readership there is one thing I need to mention here: I am an expert in the WWII affairs. Not by choice but by destiny. In the country like Russia which lost 27 million people in that carnage the children of those who themselves were children in that war are the true experts.
Our generation, the one born about 10 years after the war, had both the means to absorb the information and enough interest to seek the truth from various sources including the German ones. We could listen to the witnesses, read the documents and make comparisons. We could visit places. We could hear voices. We had the luxury of the free time and reasonably full belly no one before us had and the still smoking materiel no one after us enjoyed. So, yes, take it or leave it, we are the true experts in the field and we can and will tell the truth whenever possible, no matter how bitter it sounds to the coprophags: Russia won that war. The US just jumped on a bandwagon. The nuclear bombardment of Japan was a crime against Humanity, nothing more. Having said all that I hereby leave my triangulated coprophag in his cage.
'They say that the seeds of what we will do are in all of us but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure'
E. Hemingway. The Movable Feast
The Interlude: How To Deal With The Human Coprophagia.
I started writing this article in the seat of the MD airplane right close to the toilet and the stench contributed to my metaphorical mood. Eventually I realized that I was writing about a widely spread phenomena. I could list more and more cases. Hillary Clinton is a coprophag and so is Joe Lieberman. The one really shining coprophag was Jerry Falwell, RIP. Of course, O' Reilly is one and so is Ann Coulter. In fact, most of the Bushites are coprophags except for the Bush himself (he is mad) and Cheney ( he is a vampire). Nice company.
There is one similar feature in all those cases, though and it relates to the coprophagia in the Nature. Coprophags are primarily puppies. In the human world that means shallow, low- level minds, undeveloped, short- circuited or 'drive- through' minds, incapable of real feelings, fearful of deep emotional processes, minds on Prozac, so to speak. Such minds are ideal gateways, entrances for the coprophagia. Once entered it thrives on one and only one feature- arrogance. And that's why it is in abundance in the US- even the most advanced people here are arrogant beyond belief. Once and for all they establish their dominance as the 'happy folks of the true democracy' and once and for all they claim the right to 'do something to those, other people', be those Iraqis, Iranians, Palestinians, Russians or French.
So far I have encountered very few Americans who would state unequivocally that the best behavior for the human being is to mind his/her own business and that should work for the good old USA too.
Arrogance is by no means a uniquely American thing. Yours truly was not immune to it and spent a lot of time in self- indulging misery. In the relative safety of the Empire I caressed my arrogance and stupidity until the day came when the proud citizen of the best country in the world found himself a refugee on the foreign soil. That's when I looked into the mirror and saw a turd hanging out of my mouth. . This is the only way to cure the coprophagia, my friends; you have to acknowledge that you are a coprophag first and foremost. And you have to do that on your own: no one can help you with it.
After that it is rather easy: you must start taking pills of suspicion, guilt and disgust, acknowledge that all people are the same and seek for the roses.
Ah, the roses! There are a plenty of those around. How about the short stories by O' Henry? Or Jack London's 'Martin Eden', or John Steinbeck's ' Traveling with Charlie'? How about 'Horrors of War' painting series by Francisco Goya? And if you want Dostoevsky, how about the ' Teenager', that book of love, compassion and understanding of the process when a boy becomes a man?

Taylor Martinez has been an enigma since arriving in Lincoln. On his third play from scrimmage, he scored on an electrifying touchdown run against Western Kentucky, and Nebraska fans thought they might be seeing the start of something special. But Martinez has struggled in his Nebraska career and been the goat in a number of losses both gut-wrenching and ugly.
This offseason, Martinez has worked with quarterback guru Steve Calhoun to improve his mechanics and get better as a passer. It is encouraging to all Nebraska fans that Martinez recognizes a weakness in his game and is willing to publicly discuss how he is trying to get better. But without a spring game, it's impossible to know if that offseason work will pay dividends. Here are a few things to look for.

It's good to be home. This is what my body said out loud, when I sighed a long and full breath after crawling into my own bed the other day. Nothing beats your own bed after spending a bunch of nights sleeping elsewhere.
I braved the European beds – not exactly known for their comfort – to attend two conferences this month in Paris, Doctors 2.0 and EULAR. At these back-to-back medical conferences, I was a part of many, many exciting conversations with experts, thought leaders and doctors who are leading the charge in improving the way we treat our chronic conditions.
It started with Doctors 2.0 – a gathering of about 400 medical professionals, patient advocates, and technologists at the Cite Universite in south Paris. This two-day conference looked at the many exciting ways that technology, social media and other innovations are being integrated into patient care. It was an honor to represent CreakyJoints in my panel discussion about the role of the ePatient in clinical research. The reception by the conference organizers was very positive, and the networking among like-minded, forward-thinking medical experts was inspiring! (If you want to see what we discussed, go to Twitter and search for #Doctors20)
After the inspiration from the many ways that technology can make us feel better, we had a chance to jump into the deep end of rheumatology care at the annual European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), which is the second largest international congress about arthritis (the first being the American College of Rheumatology, which occurs every fall). This gathering of more than 15,000 experts – from all around the world – gave us plenty to talk about!
Heading into EULAR
Dr. Ben, our Director of Patient-Centered Research, and I tackled the five day congress with our heads held high (at the start of most days, and with less than perfect posture at the end of long days). We attended sessions about the best practices of patient care, we met doctors from many different countries to get their perspectives and advice, and we shared our ideas for how technology can bring us closer to better access-to-care, and hopefully one day, a cure.
What makes EULAR (and ACR, and other smaller, regional meetings) so special is that it is truly the gathering point of many different ideas, experiences, hypotheses, and research findings under one roof. They're all carefully organized (from 6 AM until the wee hours) within lectures, poster presentations, podium presentations, symposia, a pair of exhibit halls and then, the most valuable of all, random bump-into-old-friends-in-the-stairwell impromptu meetings.
We had a Tweet-up + Meet-up of doctors from around the world, which was great fun for us to meet with one another, say hello, high-five one another, and then Tweet out the many pictures of our gathering.
Dr. Antoni Chan of the UK smiles while Dr. Carlo Caballero from Columbia holds up his new CreakyJoints swag-bag
Much more about EULAR and the developments impacting us patients can be found on Medscape: http://www.medscape.com/viewcollection/33147 , and for the curious, another search on Twitter using #EULAR2014 (and #EULAR14) will provide more insight than you can handle in one sitting.
The take away from these two meetings is that our future is very bright! Rheumatology care has come so far in the 15 years since CreakyJoints was born (out of a dorm room bunk bed…which is still more comfortable than a European 3 star hotel bed, but who's counting). The science and the medicine are finally converging, at the intersection of technology and communication.
This means that the result is that we can feel better, quicker, thanks to meetings like Doctors 2.0 and EULAR.

To start things off -- I ADORE the VITA.
Like many avid folks looking forward to the VITA, I received mine today. My fiance purchased a pair, ofcourse for him and I -- both 3G/WIFI, that comes with a 8GB memory card. Along with the VITA's, we got Lumines, Uncharted, Rayman, BlazBlue CSE, and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.
Now, I'm not a fan girl of any one system in particular, but I'm VERY impressed with the hardware thus far, and after 4-5 hours of use, I'm going to spit some insight from my perspective in an easy to digest, list.
The Bleh
(-) Finger Print Magnet - pick it up for 5 seconds, and you'll see nothing but finger prints on the thing.
(-) Memory Card Price - yes, I'm going to bitch about it, IT'S EXPENSIVE!
(-) Camera - this thing is TERRIBAD - unless ofcourse you like VGA quality images. Games that utilize "Augmented Reality", end up looking terrible because the camera is crappy.
(-) Built-in Battery - I don't like the fact that I can't buy extra batteries to have fully charged in-case I'm on an extended flight/trip where an outlet won't be available to charge the VITA's built in battery. I suppose you can go the route of buying "power grips", or extended battery cases, but those look a little dorky. Though -- another option would be to buy those power-bricks that are roughly the size of a cellphone, and can have USB devices plugged into them to charge, but STILL, me no likey the built in battery.
The So/So
(=) Camera (video) - Though it's VGA, i suppose it's somewhat neat that it records VGA quality videos with decent auto exposure.
(=) 3G Data - I'm actually one of the few who like the data connection with the VITA, but 3G only? It would have been nice if the VITA was capable of receiving 3G, 4G/LTE signals, like phones.
(=) Rear Touchpad - i've read that it's being used quite cleverly in sports games, but outside of that genre, I haven't seen current VITA games utilizing it very well, and haven't heard of any future titles making any innovative uses for it as well. We'll have to wait and see if it's really an innovative addition to a handheld, or just a gimmick.
(+) Screen Technology - The OLED screen provides dark blacks, and vibrant colors - say goodbye to those wishy-washy color-gammas. I've been able to play Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 on my VITA in direct sunlight without much issue. There were times during dark stages where I'd have to squint, but it's the absolutely best backlit screen I've seen in the dark, and in direct sunlight. The screen resolution isn't necessarily "HD", but it's quite enough pixel to fill that 5 inch screen. At 960x544, this VITA's screen resolution surpasses that of even super-mega-smart-phone Samsung Galaxy S II, which runs @ 800x480
(+) Horse Power - Having a high resolution screen at 5 inches, it was a must that Sony not let down on the innards, for developers to take advantage of the beautiful screen. If not -- the higher resolution display would actually highlight bad textures, and jaggy edges - ala Ninja Gaidan. Being able to play Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, pause the game, and fiddle around in the home menu takes some power, and the VITA is silky smooth when performing such an action. The games while not exactly console quality, are pretty darn close. Uncharted has detailed textures, and runs buttery smooth, UMvC3 frantic animations never deter it from it's 60 frames per second, and Raymans color's just pop from the VITA OLED screen. This thing is able to produce beautiful graphics, whilst running stable frames-per-second.
(+) Build Quality - the whole thing is made of high grade plastic. The weight is a perfect balance that'll allow you to have the stability to get a little fussy with the game you're mashing in, but also the lightness to stay portable. I've probably (in my OCD fashion); cleaned the screen with a microfiber cloth 50 times throughout the day, and there isn't a single blemish, smear, or scratch on the screen. The zipper of a pouch I purchased actually made a pretty hard impact on the screen when I accidentally dropped it on the puch, and there's no mark. Very resiliant piece of hardware, this VITA.
(+) Accurate Touchscreen - This seems to be overlooked in the touch-screen market, but i've had my fair share of inaccuracies with tablets, phones, and even t he dang debit card processing machines in retail stores. But with Sony forcing you to use the touch screen to navigate menu's -- i've yet to encounter any issue where the screen didn't correctly input a touch or gesture.
(+) Syncing with your PSN account - You keep your current trophies and level, while adding new trophies from your VITA games.
(+) Social Features - "SamShine_ is currently playing Hustle Kings" +add comment. I think it's pretty cool that you can now comment on your friends current status updates. These automatic status updates are games you're playing, games you've played, trophies you've just received, etc. Another cool feature is the ability to see your friends high scores in the same games you play (dependent on the game to show these stats). This kind of information is updated real time if you're on 3G, and ofcourse if you're on WiFi. The group chatting, near application are neat features, but not something I feel I'll be using too often. I'm looking forward to seeing future updates from Sony in the aspect of current upgrades to existing social applications, as well as totally new apps as well.
(+) Controls - The buttons/d-pad are snappy, and the dual analog sticks feel great. The touchscreen is is also responsive, and accurate. I'm really excited to see developers take advantage of the controls. You see -- you have your basic X-Triangle-Square-O buttons, D-pad, and two super cute analog sticks, your basic console fare right; leaving developers the option to develope console-like games on a handheld format, BUT with the benefit of "mobile" (what the industry likes to call cell-phone games these days) gaming-controls; the touchscreen, and the touchpad (this is what i'm calling it) in the back.
(+) Operating System - Say goodbye to the XMB, as seen on the PS3. Say hello to the new "bubble" format that conjugates "pages". Much like your Android or iOS phone. There's "pages", that have up to 10 apps per page. You can customize the background by holding your finger down on any of the apps currently on that page. While in this "customize" view, you're able to expand the information of an app, or delete/uninstall from the PS VITA system.
Any game you play/install, will automatically occupy one "app" space on a page -- so once you start to play a lot of games, it'll start to get really cluttered. i hope in future updates, Sony will allow us the ability to combine apps into a folder, as seen on Android/iOS.
Besides that, the menus are slick, and it's awesome being able to be able to pause the game by hitting the PS/home button, opening the media content manager, camera, system settings, etc -- then resuming the game where you left off, quite cool.
(+) Price - I'm going to flat out tell you guys now -- this thing is BEASTLY for the price. It's difficult for me to understand much of the general public claim the VITA is too expensive. For perspectives sake, look at your expensive smartphone -- do you have an iPhone 4S? Samsung Galaxy SII? Nexus Prime? iPad? Galaxy Tab? Transformer Prime? These juggernaut smart phones have dual core CPU's, LED backlit screens at high resolutions, and 512mb-1gb of ram. Quite the feat -- though, these smartphones, cost $600-$700 unlocked from a carrier.
The VITA? Quad core CPU, Quad core GPU, 512mb of ram, OLED 900x-544 resolution screen (higher resolution than the Sprint Epic 4g touch/Galaxy S2), two "real" analog thumb sticks with a battery that lasts roughly 4-5 hours... for $250.
I was cautiously excited about the VITA. When the technical specifications were revealed, how could I not? But, how well would Sony execute on the quality -- will the touchscreen be gimmicky and inaccurate? Will the smaller buttons cramp my up my fingers? Would all that power under the hood give provide enough juice for a trip? I had several concerns, and I'm happy to say, in the end, my expectations for the system were exceeded. Lets just hope developers keep pushing out quality titles. If you're on the fence about buying the system -- then be sure it's only because you're not satisfied with the current software library, because in terms of hardware -- this handheld really is the creme de la creme of mobile gaming.
Photos/Video + Captions weee!

1993 Mitsubishi Galant Repair and Maintenance
A guide to problems, costs, maintenance and repair for your 1993 Mitsubishi Galant

1993 Mitsubishi Galant ProblemsEngine Stalling Due to Failed Idle Air Control Valve
The engine may develop a low idle or stalling condition due to a failed idle air control valve. Our technicians tell us the replacement of the faulty valve is required to correct this condition.
There have been reports of airbags not deploying in the event of a frontal impact. Some claim that a shorted airbag wire harness can cause this to occur. Unfortunately there is no diagnoses that will isolate this problem other than fault codes stored in the airbag control module. Our technicians recommend to have any airbag light issues diagnosed and repaired in order to help ensure the airbags will deploy when needed.
The seat belts may not properly retract due to an internal fault with the retractor mechanism. Replacement of the seat belt retractor would be required to correct this concern.

The challenge was to create a a garment made of used ... something, anything. Oh, and it had to relate to the theme: environment and water. The results will hit the runway Friday for Redline Milwaukee 2013 Fusion fashion show. Along with a close-up look at the creative costumes, attendees will see a new clothing line developed by four area designers. The show will be 7 p.m. at Redline Milwaukee, 1422 N. 4th St. A cash bar and complimentary treats will be served. Tickets are $25 or $50 and can be purchased at redline-fusion.eventbrite.com.

Oh, the sights you can see Saturday and next Sunday when Historic Milwaukee Inc. holds its third Doors Open Milwaukee. The Milwaukee City Hall bell tower, Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility, the new Brewhouse Inn & Suites, which is part of the old Pabst Brewery, for a start. There are some tours, but most buildings will be open for self-guided visits. Doors Open Milwaukee takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit doorsopenmilwaukee.org for a list of the buildings that will be open and their individual hours. The best part is that this event is free.

(POLL) Registry 101: The Best Bar Carts Under $700
The Best Bar Carts to Register For
Bar carts are a trendy home accessory that seem to be here to stay. From warm wood tones to brassy metals to sophisticated dark finishes, there's a look that works for just about every style. Even if you don't plan on stocking yours up with a full bar (c'mon, that sounds like fun), there are a thousand other ways you can style bar carts. I love when people deck their bar carts out for the holidays (my fave is Halloween—think spiders and pumpkins and cobwebs). There are so many inspiring ways to use a bar cart: corral your bathroom accoutrements, display your favorite plants and home accessories, or even put together a coffee + tea themed bar setup.
I'm partial to my mid-century Craigslist find that my mom bought me as a birthday gift a few years ago; I actually use it as a night stand since we don't do a lot of entertaining these days.
While some bar carts can cost you a pretty penny, we've rounded up our favorites in a range of prices, all under $700. So now we want to know: Which of these bar carts is your favorite? Take our poll below!
- Acrylic Bar Cart
- Gold and Glass Bar Cart
- Gunmetal Gray Bar Cart
- Brass Bar Cart
- Gold Art Deco Bar Cart
- Warm Wood Mid-Century Bar Cart
- Lucite and Gold Bar Cart
- Mercury Bar Cart

Get Dressed.
Lace Fit and Flare Wedding Gowns
I actually bought my dress pretty early on—I think I was scared if I didn't buy it right away it wouldn't come in time. I mean, we've all heard the horror stories about a dress taking MONTHS to come or needing major alterations.
And I'm someone who would rather be five hours early than five minutes late, so I went ahead and got dress shopping almost as soon as we picked a venue. Honestly, I hoped it would make things feel a little more real—but I still don't think I have that "OMG I'm the bride" thing.
I'm a pretty decisive shopper, so I thought picking the dress would be easy, but it ended up taking four VERRRRY patient friends, and quite a few reject dresses.
10 Stunning (and Affordable) Plus-Size Wedding Dress Designers
As a plus-size bride, it can be hard to find a wedding dress that fits, looks nice, and is affordable. After all, you should be able to look in the mirror and feel your most beautiful without having to spend a fortune. So, I've made it easy for you by coming up with a list of 10 plus-size wedding dress designers that have gorgeous gowns at reasonable prices. Of course, "affordability" is in the eye of the beholder, but because I just love a bargain, most of these dresses are under $1,000, with many of them averaging at only $200.
1. JJ's House
JJ's House is one of a number places on the internet that makes custom gowns up to size 26. As well as more formal and traditional gowns, JJ's House has this gorgeous knee length A-line dresses for under $150. In fact, JJ's House has all the classic styles and is a great go-to for a classic affordable gown.
2. Alfred Angelo
Alfred Angelo is one of the more expensive designers on this list, but one of these dresses is worth every penny you'll spend (and it is still "affordable" as far as wedding dresses go). One of the best things about Alfred Angelo is that there is no "upcharge" for plus sizes. While the upcharge from other designers isn't usually that expensive, and while it does make sense to charge more for extra fabric (in theory), it is the principle of the matter.
3. Mod Cloth
Mod Cloth is great for more casual brides. In fact, you may already be familiar with Mod Cloth because they have a lot of gorgeous plus-size everyday clothes. If you want to be really casual, check out their regular dresses for cute prints and simple frocks.
4. Mori Lee (at House of Brides)
One of the best things about Mori Lee is that they make dresses up to a size 32 instead of ending at size 26 like many of the designers on this list. This lacy mermaid-style dress is so gorgeous, and the train adds a little drama to an otherwise sleep style.
5. Sydney's Closet
Doesn't everyone want to look like a Greek goddess on her wedding day? OK, maybe not everyone. But still! I love this dress from Sydney's Closet. The sweetheart neckline and swoop train will look especially amazing on a plus-size bride. In fact, Sydney's Closet is an all plus-size site, so you can trust that they know what they are doing with plus-size dresses.
6. Doris Wedding
This is probably a very polarizing dress; you likely either love it or hate it. I personally love a pink dress, but this one also comes in champagne, ivory, and white. Doris Wedding is another wedding dress website where you can order a custom fit up to a size 26, so even if this dress is not your style, you are likely to find a plus-size wedding dress that is.
7. Igigi
Igigi is another plus-size retailer that makes a few casual wedding dresses as well as regular wedding dresses. Sizes go up to 32, but it can be hard to find a dress that is in stock. However, between the price tags and the cute designs, it is definitely worth checking out. Like Mod Cloth, Igigi is also a great place for everyday dresses as well. (So, keep it in mind for your pre-wedding events!)
8. Lan Ting (at Light in the Box)
OK, let's be honest: I want to get married again just so that I can wear this dress. This dramatic sweetheart dress instantly transforms you into a beautiful princess. Like the other custom sites on this list, Lan Ting has a huge selection of plus-size wedding dresses, and the prices can't be beat.
9. Kiyonna
Like Mod Cloth and Igigi, Kiyonna is a plus size retailer that has a few wedding dresses. I love the lace on this dress and appreciate that Kiyonna goes up to a size 5x.
10. White by Vera Wang (at David's Bridal)
Think you can't afford Vera Wang? Think again. (Yes, this is technically "White" by Vera Wang, and it is from David's Bridal, but have you seen this dress? It's gorgeous!) David's Bridal also has a lot of other plus-size wedding dresses from different designers in all price ranges.
Every bride should be able to have the wedding dress of her dreams, no matter what her size may be! With these 10 designers, you should have no problem finding (and affording) the perfect plus-size wedding dress.
Real E-Rings: Asscher Diamond Engagement Rings
Diamond Asscher Engagement Rings
Be honest: Had you heard of Asscher cut diamonds before Weddingbee? True, they are not the most common style out there, but they are so unique and sparkly. Today, we're sharing real diamond Asscher engagement rings from the hive.
For those playing catch-up, we launched a set of ring surveys, starting with 15 different styles of engagement rings (you can find them here and at the bottom of this post, as well as on the Boards as a stickied post). All you do is fill out the survey corresponding to your ring style (round diamond, moissanite, sapphire, etc.), which will prompt you to upload your ring photo to the Weddingbee Gallery, and then once at least 10 people with that style of ring have filled out the survey, it will become a post on the Weddingbee blog!
The posts will continuously be updated to reflect new ring submissions, and eventually we hope they will be an amazing repository of REAL engagement rings to inspire bees for years to come.
Note: If you've filled out the survey but haven't yet submitted a photo, it's not too late to be included in this post! Simply email your photo along with your Weddingbee username and ring style category to mouse (at) weddingbee (dot) com, and we'll add it to the post!

twistaway's solitatire Asscher diamond engagement ring set in white gold 1.5 mm pave band

The Best Wedding Films Ever, No Challenge
The Best Wedding Films
I may be a high-strung, emotional individual, but that doesn't change the fact that I have a very low tolerance for sentimental drivel. I'm not a "Disney person," I HATE being sung to, and most romantic comedies have me injuring my eyes from rolling them too hard.
You know all the tropes: someone gives a big, heartfelt speech in the middle of someone else's wedding? The lovable, goofy guy who's taken just happens to have a shrew for a girlfriend, so we root for someone else to steal him (hate this one)? Two characters who despise each other end up FALLING IN LOVE?!
Who ever could have seen it coming? | Dripping sarcasm via GIPHY

In Which We Pick a Venue
Chicago Wedding Venues
Brace yourselves: This is a LONG post. But there are pictures. Scroll to the end if you just want to see what venue we picked.
After we picked a date, I told myself I wouldn't sweat planning. I'd relax, enjoy being engaged, and take my time.
Then I had a panic dream—I was standing in the middle of downtown Chicago, in a gown (an ugly gown, might I add) with no CLUE where my wedding was taking place. And with that one dream, my "wait to plan" went flying RIGHT out the window…but there's a silver lining.
We're about seven months from the big day, and I'm mostly done with wedding planning, and FULLY embracing engaged life.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - According to the Israeli Civil Administration, the Palestinian Authority (PA) economy has shown some significant improvement since the beginning of the year.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has removed more than 100 roadblocks and issued additional employment licenses and trade permits to Palestinian businesses, resulting in increased flow of commercial goods to the population.
According to Israeli data, tourism has increased significantly in PA-controlled cities, such as Bethlehem and Jericho.
Palestinian farmers have experienced a 25 percent growth in the produce they're exporting.
Unemployment dropped six percentage points, from 25 percent in 2004 to 19 percent this year.
The IDF's introduction of biometric systems at the checkpoints has facilitated the crossing of more than 500,000 Palestinians in the first six months of this year.
VIP transit passes for Palestinian government officials and businessmen grew to 1,500.

ESPN's College Gameday is every die-hard's favorite show during the fall simply due to the fact that the analysis, entertainment and excitement to start your Saturday is essentially perfect.
However, it is the fans who always make the show flawless due to the creativity and pageantry we see. Most die-hard fans will have some headgear or paint on their face to show off to the cameras, but the signs they always bring are often hilarious.
Always relating to the featured game of the week, the fans will bring signs that are comical and even witty. Every sign is expected to be checked by security before they are allowed on television, but more times than not we enjoy the creativity.
College football after all is arguably the best sport in the world because of its fans, and thus here are your top 50 College Gameday signs that, in my eyes, should be made for the 2012 season.
Note: I list my projected slate of games for every week of the season excluding the SEC Championship. Since some games have two or three great games I will use both of them for that week, but feel free to send your opinions on which signs you would like to see.

No matter what you may read in the next few paragraphs, remember this: a diamond anniversary is no mocking matter. Reaching the age of 75 is an achievement; to do it without changing much from the day you were born is this side of a miracle.
Such is the case for the classic American recipe known as the Ritz Mock Apple Pie, which first appeared on the back of the cracker box in 1934. This dessert is exactly what it says it is, a pie made out of Ritz crackers and a few other select ingredients, which together mimic the flavor of apple filling.
Yes, this is an actual recipe. (See this related story on the Mock Apple Pie taste test).
With our 21st-century zeitgeist that snubs overly processed food in favor of organic produce and eating in season, not to mention our year-round access to most ingredients, it's hard to imagine a period when culinary trends would demand a replacement for the humble apple.
But the Ritz Mock Apple Pie is in fact one in a long line of "mocks," culinary impersonators stretching as far back as Roman times. Every time you bite into a mock apple pie, savor a tangy bit of mincemeat or chew on a marzipan "vegetable," you are enjoying a taste of history.
Cooks in the Middle Ages were experts in manipulating food for the entertainment of eaters. Remember those "four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie?" All true, says Terese Allen, a Madison cookbook author and food folklorist. Well, mostly true: They would cook the pie, leaving an opening in the crust to trap one or two live birds just before serving, which would flutter out when a server cut into the dish.
Elaborate dishes purporting to be something they were not were de rigueur among the wealthy in early 17th-century France, according to Jennifer J. Davis, a University of Oklahoma historian who is writing a book about cooking trends of the period.
She points out that it was common for culinary magicians "to take something that was dead and make it look alive," by, say, removing the plumage of a bird, roasting the bird, then re-feathering it with its skin for presentation at the table.
"It's incredible," Davis says. "(That) kind of overwhelming artifice was really valued as a mark of elite cuisine; it was the mark of a really skilled cook."
The idea of imitation being the highest form of art continued into the 19th century, when cooks would spend weeks forming pastry into elegant, life-size shapes of exotic animals or miniature sculptures of buildings, and then stage complex table entertainments for dinner guests, who would tug on a section of crust to set in motion a domino-like display of pastry-in-movement.
The French chef Antonin Carême, inventor of the chef's toque, was the most famous builder of these pastry structures around the time of Napoleon, Davis says. He was also the first of the breed we now call "celebrity" chefs. Carême pored over architecture books at the national library in Paris in his spare time, to guarantee the accuracy of his pastry creations.
Over time, mocking became an ingenious way to replace or make up for a key ingredient that was hard to find, too expensive or simply out of season.
The most famous mock, Mock Turtle Soup, parodied by Lewis Carroll in "Alice in Wonderland," mimicked a highly prized dish in 18th-century English cuisine, made from the giant Caribbean reptiles brought home by sailors during England's Age of Exploration.
"It was quite a formidable creature to try to kill and cook, which made it very expensive," says Sandy Oliver, editor of Food History News. So almost immediately after the culinary introduction of turtle soup, cooks were devising mock versions.
The method they settled on might turn some modern gourmets off soup for good: They made a broth out of boiled calf's head, then garnished it with calf brains.
In prosperous times, mock foods were about pretense and appearing richer than you really were, Oliver says, but in tougher times they embraced a wistful reminiscence for things lost.
So it was with mock apple pie, versions of which predate the venerable Ritz recipe.
"You know, this is really about coping," Oliver says. "If you're on the Oregon Trail and you've used up all your apples, but you still want an apple pie, well, there's good old crackers, you know. And if you have lemon extract and crackers and sugar and enough cinnamon, you can kind of fool everybody into thinking they're eating an apple pie."
"But that's really a coping mechanism," Oliver adds. So, mock food "goes from being a trick, a way of showing your elite sensibilities without having access to elite food supplies, to being about . . . coping, to aspiring to something better than what you really have."
A wealth of mock dishes, including mock chicken (tuna or peanuts), mock crab (cheese and anchovy paste), mock cherry pie (raisins and cranberries) and mock olives (unripe plums), hit tables in the 1920s mostly because of "housewifely boredom," Oliver says.
They hit their peak during the long period of deprivation that ran from the beginning of the Depression through the end of World War II, when such sugary delights as mock pistachio ice cream (almond extract and green coloring), mock maple syrup (brown sugar and water) and mock toasted marshmallows (gelatin, water and stale macaroons) capped a meal of mock scallops (fried halibut) or mock terrapin (chicken with eggs).
But we shouldn't be so quick to mock the mockers, Oliver says. After all, mocks are alive and well and living in our supermarket. Cool Whip, anyone? How about Tofurkey? Or even the mysterious "turkey ham?"
We like our mock foods. And with the world's diminishing food stocks, and fish-free oceans, mock foods aren't likely to disappear.
"People are willing to accept it. You know, America's the land where if it's not bad, it's OK," Oliver says. "Isn't that true? That's the sign of acceptance. 'Oh, it's not bad. This mayonnaise doesn't really taste that good, but it's not bad. Oh, that (farmed) salmon sort of looks like salmon, so I'll eat it.'"
This recipe is adapted from one supplied by Kraft Foods. One of the most famous of mock recipes, this pie is meant to imitate the look of an apple pie, with a center that tastes more like a sweet lemon pie.
Ritz Mock Apple Pie
Makes 8 servings
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 ¾ cups water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juicePastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie (divided)
36 Ritz crackers, coarsely broken (about 1 ¾ cups)
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut into small pieces½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
In medium saucepan, mix sugar and cream of tartar. Gradually stir in water. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes, until syrup is thickened and clear. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and zest. Cool.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Roll out half of pastry to 11-inch circle and use to line a 9-inch (regular-depth) pie plate. Place cracker crumbs in crust. Pour lemon syrup over crumbs, dot with butter or margarine pieces, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Roll out remaining pastry and cover pie. Seal edges and cut slits in top to allow steam to escape. Place pie on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
Bake in preheated oven 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Allow pie to cool before serving.
This is adapted from the first edition (1931) of "The Joy of Cooking." You will need an ice cream maker. This is an excellent ice cream - and very close in flavor to real pistachio. Use only enough green coloring to tint the cream a faint lime color to mimic the look of pistachio.
Mock Pistachio Ice Cream
Makes 8 servings
1 quart whipping cream (divided)
1 cup sugar1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon salt3 to 4 drops green food coloring
The night before you want to make ice cream, place bucket from ice-cream maker in freezer.
In saucepan, heat 1 cup whipping cream over low heat and add sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves completely, about 8 minutes. Cool and transfer to a large bowl or juice container.
Add remaining cream, vanilla, almond extract, salt and green food coloring until well combined. Chill mixture at least 2 hours.
Make ice cream according to manufacturer's directions for your ice cream maker. Process ice cream up to 30 minutes, or until it has reached desired firmness.
These rolls, adapted from the 1931 edition of "The Joy of Cooking," are "mock" because they contain less sugar than the original roll recipe, which called for 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Mock Rolls
Makes 8
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons butter (divided)¾ cup whole milk or cream
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to dry mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives, until mixture forms pea-size crumbs. Add milk or cream gradually, stirring mixture lightly with a fork, until just combined. Roll out dough to 1/3-inch thickness and cut with a large (2 ½-inch) biscuit cutter. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter and brush it over the tops. Set rolls on a baking sheet, lightly greased or lined with parchment. Allow biscuit rolls to rise about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oven to 450 degrees.
Bake biscuit rolls in preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes, until tops are golden.
Note: If desired, rolls can be folded over, formed into crescents and brushed with more butter before allowing them to rise.
This recipe also is adapted from the 1931 edition of "The Joy of Cooking." Rinsing the tuna with boiling water removes some of the fishy taste. The effect lasts only for a couple of hours; if you put the leftovers in the fridge to eat later, the spell is broken and your "mock chicken" turns back into tuna.
Mock Chicken Salad
Makes 4 to 6 servings
1 can (12 ounces) tuna, packed in water2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper to tasteLettuce leaves
Place 2 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Empty tuna into a strainer; pour boiling water over tuna. Drain tuna well, pressing lightly into strainer, if necessary, and chill about 30 minutes.
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise with poultry seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Add chilled tuna and mix well.
Serve mock chicken by itself on a bed of lettuce or in Mock Rolls (see recipe) lined with lettuce leaves.
Venison was a rare treat in 17th- and 18th-century England, where only the rich owned land enough for deer to roam and be hunted, says Sandy Oliver, editor of Food History News. Veal was the preferred poor man's venison substitute, she says, but lamb would do, too, as it does in this recipe from the 1931 "Joy of Cooking."
Mock Venison
Makes 6 to 8 servings
1 leg of lamb (bone in, trimmed, about 7 pounds)
1 quart buttermilk
½ to 1 cup flour to dredge meatSalt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
½ cup hot vegetable stock
1 cup sour cream
Roasted potatoesParsley for garnish
Set lamb in an ovenproof roasting pan just slightly larger than the meat. Add buttermilk, cover and marinate in refrigerator 24 hours or longer.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Drain off buttermilk and transfer meat to a large, flour-coated bread board. Season meat to taste with salt and pepper, then roll roast in flour to coat. Shake off excess flour and return to roasting pan, fat side up. Cut butter into small pieces and spread over top of meat.
Roast meat in preheated oven, uncovered, for 15 minutes to brown. Add stock and reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. Cover roast tightly and, basting occasionally, cook until done to your liking (see note).
When meat is almost done, remove cover and spread top and sides with sour cream. Return roasting pan to oven and brown, uncovered, about 10 minutes.
If desired, make gravy with drippings and serve meat surrounded by browned potatoes, if desired, and garnished with parsley.
Tester's note: A 7-pound leg of lamb took about 3 to 3 ½ hours (25 to 30 minutes per pound) to be cooked to well done. Shorten the cooking time if you prefer your meat less well done.
To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into thickest portion of meat without touching bone. For medium-rare, the temperature should be 145 degrees; for medium, 160 degrees; and for well-done, 170 degrees. The internal temperature of large cuts of meat will rise about 5 degrees as the meat rests after cooking.

|Safety -- NFPA 70E: the "how' of working around electricity safely
|Issue Archives - July August 2010 issue
by John Boyle
Many workers and engineers are familiar with the phrase, "NFPA 70E," but few understand what the standard offers in electrical protection. The National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 70E addresses electrical safety requirements for employees during installation, operation, maintenance and demolition of all types of electrical equipment.
NFPA 70E covers safety-related work practices, maintenance, special equipment requirements and installation. It focuses on protecting people and identifies requirements that provide a workplace free of electrical hazards.
OSHA bases its electrical safety mandates, found in Subpart S part 1910 and Subpart K part 1926, on information in NFPA 70E. NFPA 70E is related to the National Electrical Code (NEC), which describes how to design and install safe electrical systems.
NFPA 70E is the tool that illustrates how an employer might comply with OSHA standards. The relationship between the OSHA regulations and NEC may best be described as being the "shall" and NFPA 70E being the "how."
NFPA 70E includes…
NFPA 70E applies to all workplaces such as factories, hospitals and even super stores. It is most often enforced on construction sites and in industrial plants. The NFPA 70E standard covers hazards such as electric shock/ electrocution, arc flash (electrical flame/fire) and arc blast (high-energy electrical explosion).
Safe electrical work strategies
NFPA 70E outlines two approaches for ensuring safe electrical work:
Turn off the power. NFPA 70E mandates that whenever possible, electrical work be completed on de-energized circuits. Energized work can only occur under special circumstances using special precautions. Power can remain on if the employer can justify work on energized components, such as when de-energizing creates additional hazards. Examples include shutting down life support equipment, emergency systems or hazardous location ventilation equipment or if power is required for start-up, diagnostics and testing procedures.
If work is near exposed live conductors or parts, NFPA 70E requires a plan for the work. Employers must have a written plan for performing the live work safely by developing an energized electrical work permit that includes:
• a description of circuit and equipment to be worked on and justification for performing work in energized conditions;
• a description of safe work practices;
• results of shock hazard and flash hazard analyses;
• shock and flash protection boundaries;
• personal protective equipment required;
• a means to restrict access to unqualified persons;
• evidence of job briefing; and work approval signatures and
Shock and flash hazard analyses. A shock hazard analysis identifies the voltage to which personnel will be exposed and boundary and PPE requirements. Table 130.2(C) in NFPA 70E can be used to determine boundary distances. The flash hazard analysis determines the flash protection boundary and PPE needed within that boundary.
The flash protection boundary is determined by methods found in 130.3(A) or Annex D of the NFPA 70E standard. Protective clothing is determined by using Tables 130.7(C)(9)(a), 130.7(C) (10) and 130.7(C)(11) in the standard.
Use of personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes flame-resistant (FR) clothing, insulated tools, face shields and flash suits. Each FR garment has an Arc Thermal Protective Value (ATPV) rating that indicates the amount of protection the clothing affords when an electrical arc comes in contact with the fabric. Refer to NFPA Table 130.7(C). (11) Protective Clothing Characteristics for guidance. u

Posted on 04/02/2012 5:01:55 AM PDT by winoneforthegipper
CLINTONVILLE, WI (WTAQ) - Its been a challenge to record them, but Clintonville city officials have the first audio recording of the actual booming noises the city has been dealing with since Sunday night, March 18th. City Administrator Lisa Kuss says a Madison Area Technical College student Brian Sullivan was able to record a boom noise on Saturday March 24th. Kuss says Sullivan has been working with the city on and off for over the two week period whenever he has been available. The booming noises are accompanied with ground trembles that have woken up residents in the middle of the night. The U.S. Geological Survey says the area did experience a 1.5 magnitude earthquake shortly after midnight Tuesday March 20th. The USGS says micro-quakes like the Clintonville event are regular across the United State, but are not often felt. The USGS has characterized the Clintonville phenomenon as likely a swarm of micro-quakes. Late last week, Michigan Tech loaned the city four seismometers, and infra-sound equipment to detect the booming noises and seismic activity. Those are now transmitting data in real time to the USGS.
(Excerpt) Read more at wtaq.com ...
Very clear recording released this morning.
must be those seeeeecret underground bases the New World Order is building ;-)
Is Clintonville next to Monicaville?
Maybe there will be whisps of smoke coming up from underground soon, like that town in PA — Centralia, I think. Any old coal mines under there?
I used to go up to the lake near there to fish. Great pan fishing and bass and Northern Pike. Of course, that was back in the 50s.
Time to get the elephant gun ready.
I am opening myself up to being 100% wrong here, but I sure got a sneaky suspicion some kids are having a lot of fun, and either will get caught soon or someone will not be able to keep their mouth shut and spill the beans all by themselves.
Just a hunch.
If so, kudos to the kids for fooling everyone for so long, and I hope the law takes it easy on them.
Just good ol' boys,
Never meaning no harm.
Beats all you ever saw,
gettin' in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born.
Making their way,
the only way they know how.
But that's just a little bit more
than the law will allow.
My brother lives in that neck of the woods — Sunbury.
Speaking of visiting lakes in the '50s, we lived by Lake Erie and swam in it often. I guess it was the late '60s when that lake was deemed to be extremely polluted. (Maybe that's why my hair is turning grey. hmmm...)
The area has a unique granite base.
Well they say they have ruled out foul play but you never know....lol!
The morlocks are firing up their furnaces!
Hmmmmm, could be the North Korean invasion tunnel is near completion?
Has anybody thought to check any spikes in sales in the town's grocery stores of beans?
I can hear the guy holler "BOOM"!
Upon further review, when I play it on my desktop, the "boom" is clearly audible. Holy sh.., cow!
ok well if this is happening every night, just lay out a grid of observers and triangulate on the sound... how hard is that?
Naw, it's the middle earthers testing their nukes before coming after us. Heard it on Coast to Coast.
And the seismologist survey sayssss....????
Midcontinent Rift. Notice how it dips down into Wisconsin.
Lake Superior occupies the apex of the rift.
I seem to remember, from years ago, reading that underground Wisconsin was the area for a huge submarine communications base. Wonder if it is being expanded or modified.
If that is your story, I'd stick to it! ;-D
Your comment caused me to remember when the bunkers were being built under the VP's house when Cheney was there.
I wonder if Ol'Joe even knows they are there? Does Joe ever remind you of the Grandpa in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
Yeah some are speculating that it was the failed rift to the west of the area. I am not thinking such. Some are speculating glacial rebound but that does not make sense either.
Certainly the longer this continues the more clues they will be able record but it sure is interesting!
On the positive side, at least she said she was satisfied.
Used to work near a petroleum storage tank farm. The tanks made "boong" sounds like that when they expanded or contracted with changing temperature.
they've been talking about this on the news here for two weeks now.
Tell me why. What's different to you?
Very Good point.
Snapping cracking granite - hmmmm....maybe.
Yeah....shaking and booming would have been cool in my college days now....not so much!
Sounds like Seneca guns to me. And who knows what those are?
You're right. I think you're 100 per cent wrong.
Yeah the difference here though that seperates it from other booming events is the quantified shaking and rolling.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that the kid with the recording isn't pulling an April 1 "Ferris Buehler" synth trick on the townfolk...
OTOH, a couple of microbarograph arrays (like used to detect and triangulate on aboveground nuke tests) would be fairly cheap and easy to implement. Using off-the-shelf tubing, sensors, computers, I/O modules and software, and with the help of a good surveyor for precise siting, you could have mB arrays running in a week or two.
(Might need a better master clock than the usual PC provides, though.)
I sure won't argue with you, since I have no evidence.
Whatever it ultimately is, it'll be nice to know.
There are things like this elsewhere.
from an article about North Carolina ————
Such dins are not unique to North Carolina or the modern age. People living near Seneca Lake in upstate New York have long known of similar booming sounds, which they called "Seneca guns." In coastal Belgium, they are known as "mistpouffers," or fog belches; in the Ganges delta and the Bay of Bengal, "Bansal guns;" in the Italian Apennines, "brontidi," or thunder-like; and by the Harami people of Shikoku, Japan, "yan."
And check this out - http://drgeophysics.wordpress.com/2010/05/02/the-bloop-loudest-sound-ever-recorded-on-earth-source-unknown/
You have a good memory
Sounds just like an artillery round or some sort of explosion. Earthquakes that I've experienced lasted much longer and very large explosions kind of roar by you for a few seconds.
Pack the kids honey... We're going to visit grandma and grandpa for a week or two!
Muchas gracias!
A complete historical eyewitness accounts of the great New Madrid quakes.
Have not come across them yet but the USGS suggests there are a few accounts that mention a few booms prior to the day of the quake.
What I have read though has been interesting as heck!
Earth Songs ping
Thanks for the ping!
Lots of activity now in that locale...
Yeah all aftershocks but that was a pretty big one!
It sounds like an acetylene bomb. Short, sharp, distinct. We here them here ever new year!
It went BOOMMmm and the metal roofing would rattle like mad. It would literally scare the hell out of us younger guys...
