Queen Victoria - an ordinary girl with an extraordinary life
Published 04/10/2008
She pads into the room without any fanfare. Even in flip flops, 'boyfriend' jeans and a T-shirt that either cost a bomb or was made in school by one of her boys (I suspect the former), she looks gorgeous and perfectly pert.
Her face is fresh, quite perfect and doll-like and her skin glows, She's not too skinny either. But most of all it is her very Victoria Beckham-ness that gets you. We see her so much, as an icon, that you kind of forget she is a real woman, who is the basis for the image and the brand and the icon that is Victoria Beckham.
I tell her it's a bit unsettling, a bit like seeing Marilyn Monroe or Elvis in the flesh. She pronounces herself flattered. But, in fact, she knows exactly what I'm talking about. Because later she will tell me it happens to her, sometimes, too. She is sometimes taken aback by the sight of Victoria Beckham.
"It's kind of weird," she says, "I was designing my dresses the other day [she has just launched a new high-end fashion range] and I put the dress on — because it's very important that everything is very me. So I put the dress on and I put the shoes on, got the handbag, I put my big sunglasses on and I looked in the mirror and I was almost a bit freaked out because I went in like this, in jeans and a T-shirt, and then I turned into Victoria Beckham, and I said: 'Oh my God. I look like her!' It's kind of weird. I mean, I don't read tabloids, I don't read magazines unless I have to, unless we're going to be suing someone. But it is kind of weird."
We're meeting in Manchester to discuss the new scents by Victoria and husband, David. This is one of the only print interviews she's doing for the launch. The people from Coty, with whom she does the perfumes, all seem genuinely impressed with how involved she is in the whole process. The perfume is Signature. There is one for men and one for women, and it is actually classy. It is an important one for dVb, the brand that Victoria co-owns with David and Spice Girls manager and 19 Management supremo Simon Fuller. This is their first proper launch into the US market, though their last perfume did very well there without a big launch. It will be sold in all the high-end department stores around the world.
Victoria says: "Everything that I put my name on is part of me. I'm not just another celebrity who has got a licensing deal. This isn't just about me saying: 'I'm Victoria Beckham; sell this.' I think there are lots of celebrities who don't have any involvement with what they do. I don't think there's anything wrong in that, but I'm just blessed that I do and I can continue to be as involved."
The interview is kind of supposed to be about perfume and, from what I've heard about similar set-ups, that generally involves the interviewer sitting with the talent and 10 of their 'people' around them waiting to jump in at any sign of a real question. Amazingly, no one sits in on our interview. There is just one of Victoria's people in the suite with us and she sits in the next room, albeit with the door open. What started out as a 10-minute chat turns out to be about 45 minutes where we chat freely about everything from David Beckham, to family, to, well, being Victoria Beckham. And I can report that she's lovely and she's normal and well adjusted. She's also one of the smartest cookies you could meet.
Basically, she seems to reconcile her own down-to-earth nature with the very unreal notion of being an international icon and brand, recognising, sensibly, that we play different roles in different aspects of our lives. So, of the style-icon business, she explains: "I love fashion and I love to have fun with fashion. I like to play with different images. I wouldn't say it's playing a role. I think that it is definitely part of me, but I have another side of me which is dressed like this, knocking around at home with the kids. I never wear make-up unless I'm going out or going to work. I'm much more relaxed at home. But I love clothes, I love to put on an image and that's definitely me as well."
Certainly, she can, at times, say things that sound wildly unreal, but that's just because of the extraordinary nature of her life. So she can be telling you how a lot of their social life in LA is just, you know, normal stuff like going to other people's houses, but then it will emerge casually that other people's houses can often mean Tom Cruise's house. Her kids, too, seem to have taken the reality/unreality in their stride. She tells me about when they first watched Spiceworld: The Movie a couple of years ago: "We were living in Spain, and I was out working on the jeans collection and I came in and they were watching Spiceworld. Romeo ran up to me and he said: 'Mummy, have you been at work?' and I said: 'Yeah,' and he said: 'Have you been with the Spice Girls?' and I didn't have the heart to tell him no, and he said: 'Have you been riding that bus?' because obviously I drive a bus in the movie, which was quite cute."
With Victoria Beckham, any topic of conversation invariably comes back to one thing — family. For example, when she's talking about perfume she drifts back to reminiscing about her mum, who is clearly also her role model. She remembers fondly the Eighties when you would "smell someone before you saw them". Her mum wore Raffinee.
She has also just designed a range of dresses and, like the perfume, this is a high-end endeavour. The clothing range is "handmade in London, with great fabrics — some handmade embroideries from India. It's things that I like to wear, dresses that are timeless, that are good quality, that are flattering, relatively simple. When you invest in one of my dresses, you'll be able to wear it for years."
While she was mentored in the project by her friend Roland Mouret, he did not design the dresses. She did. I believe her on that, too. But still, all the work is organised around David's schedule and the needs of the kids. The only reason she can sit happily talking to me today is because she knows her boys are with her mum at the theme park Diggerland, near London.
Is it strange for her that her kids, for the time being anyway, are growing up American? "Well, I mean they
have little American accents," she says, "but myself and David, we're very British. But it's a great place to live with the boys. They're playing ice hockey, basketball, soccer, American football, gymnastics, they do everything. Surfing, breakdancing, which is great, you know. I think that we're lucky that we can travel but, as I say, we are very British, the way we run our home."
Very British seems to mean partially that Victoria is quite traditional in her role as wife and mother and also "quite strict" with the boys. I'd imagine it would be very easy for them to get a bit spoiled, I say.
"Of course it would. I mean, I've always been very strict with them. Even now my three-year-old will say: 'Excuse me, Mummy.' At three years old! And 'please' and 'thank you', and if they don't say 'please' and 'thank you', then they just don't get. You know, they're free spirits and they're fun and they have very good personalities and sense of humours, and they're all very, very funny. But they're incredibly well behaved. You know, every time we fly to Europe — and it's a long journey for a kid, it might be 11 or 12 hours — they are perfectly behaved and every single time, without fail, someone will compliment me, or David, if they're travelling with him, on how well behaved the boys are. And I think that's important, that's how I was brought up."
Are the kids very aware that mum was a Spice Girl? "Not really. I mean, obviously I've told them, you know, they've heard songs on the radio and I'd say: 'Well, this is Mummy.' But up until the Spice Girls reunion, really everything in our family revolved around football and what David does, and I'm lucky that with my job I can do that when the kids are at school, because I don't like to spend very much time away from David and the boys. I'll always make sure my priority is my family. But they're becoming more and more aware of what I do. That's the reason that I did the tour, for the kids to sit in the front row and see Mummy as a pop star. You know, I don't just moan and say: 'Do your homework, clean your teeth,' you know, wow, Mummy's cool. I was the cool one in the family for a while, which was great, you know."
Clearly, the family is what keeps her so grounded: "I think it helps that we're so close as a family, not just with my family but with David's as well. We do really regular stuff." The first thing they did when they touched down in England this time was to go to the local Chinese with David's sister and the kids to celebrate David's dad's birthday. On Sunday, they took his nan and granddad out to the local pub for lunch.
Normality is also helped by the fact that Victoria manages to avoid a lot of what is written about her. "I don't read newspapers," she says, "and I don't read magazines, so I'm kind of a bit unaware of it. I'd like to say I live in my own little world, but I mean that in a very normal way. I don't see myself, possibly, as maybe other people do. I'm too busy running around after the kids. Everything I do, I do for the kids."
I believe that living in LA has helped the Beckhams live a more normal life than they might be able to do elsewhere. LA is probably set up a bit more for celebrities to live normal lives. "You know," she says, "I think it depends where you go. I think that sometimes you go out and you know you're going to get photographed, which is fine, you know. Make sure you do your hair, and put some nice make-up on. But quite often we go out and we might socialise around people's houses or go to restaurants where they're not restaurants that are going to call the paparazzi. So we have a really great social life but we tend to mix more with the children and do things with our friends at their houses as opposed to going out."
But she is firm that "we can definitely still go out". She would never, she says, become "some sort of recluse" and she will never start leaving her kids at home because she is worried about them being photographed. She is determined they will have a normal life.
Again, all so normal, until you consider that the friends they might be calling around to with the kids could be Eva Longoria, Gordon Ramsay or even Tom and Katie.
"Tom is a really nice guy," she says, "and I always say he's a very normal guy and people always think: 'How can Tom Cruise be normal?' But you know what? He is. He'll invite us around to his house on a Sunday with Katie, and the kids, and if my mum or dad are there, or David's mum, we will all go. They will open their house to all of us and they are really normal people."
So, when you hang around with celebrities like that, does it kind of ruin any interest you might have in celeb culture?
"You know, Tom is incredibly talented and I have enormous respect for him," she says. "Celebrities that have talent I have an enormous amount of respect for. There's lots of celebrities nowadays; I mean, I have respect for anybody, any human being, but you don't have the same kind of respect because you can be in Big Brother and then be a celebrity." And is it a case that she can trust the kind of people she meets in LA more because they are less likely to be jealous of her
or less likely to be trying to get something out of her? "I think that, you know, you've just got to have your wits about you. I think that we've met some great people living here in Manchester, living in Madrid, being in LA, there are people that, if you like, are full of shit, let's just say, anywhere. It makes no difference if you're in LA, if you're in London, it makes no difference whatsoever, I think that you've just got to try to have your wits about you. You know, I always listen to my gut instinct. Sometimes you're right, sometimes you're wrong. But we're very true to ourselves and, like I said, most of the time we hang out at home with the boys. We might be socialising with Tom Cruise one day but then the next day I'll be round with one of the mums from school, you know, who has a completely different profession. I enjoy their company just as much."
Settling in LA has also meant, you suspect, that they are getting to spend more time together as a family. Is there much time apart these days?
"Not so much now," she says, "because my work is in LA. I have offices there, the boys are at school there and while David travels if he has away games, that's the day before the game and then he's back the day after. So, we're more settled now. But, I mean, the only reason that we were ever apart in Madrid really, at the start, was the fact that the boys couldn't get into school and we didn't have a house and, obviously, when you have children, their schoolwork is very important. As soon as the kids got into school, you know, we were over there. David used to go away a lot more when he was playing for Madrid: they'd go away a few days before a game.
"It's a little bit more relaxed now, which is nice, and everything I do, I plan around David. I'll never work when he's got days off."
Her husband is another of her favourite subjects for enthusiastic conversation. Despite the three kids, they make sure to take plenty of time for their own relationship, and, mainly, they seem to have a great laugh.
"We always spend time together," she says. "We go out a lot together, we laugh. I think that the most important thing is that you can really laugh with the person you are married to. We were just saying the other day how it's funny that we still make each other laugh after all these years. I still get excited when I know that he's coming home from training, you know, I'm there waiting by the door for him to come home."
But, she insists, they still love Britain and Europe and they are very much still European. Exhibit A in the 'you can take the girl out of Britain but not Britain out of the girl,' is that she still loves the high street. She's enthusiastic about Claire's Accessories, one
of her favourites, and she is still partial to a bit of Oxfam. "It's incredible," she says charmingly, "what some people throw out."
But can you really just go into Oxfam and browse around without there being a riot?
"Yeah, I mean, every now and then there might be some press outside, or I might say to my sister: 'You know, I've seen something in the window I quite like, can you pop in and get it for me?' I mean, to be fair, I haven't really been shopping in London for a long, long time and I don't really go shopping a lot in Los Angeles."
So how does she shop then?
"I do a lot of internet shopping," she says, "because I know very well my shape, I know what's going to suit me, so I buy a lot of things on the internet."
She goes on: "I'm very lucky. I get sent lots of nice things as well, which is really great. You know, I'm very lucky and I wake up every morning and I think: 'Crikey, I'm really lucky.'
"I would never take it for granted. I would never ask for anything. And I will always ring everybody who sends me anything. Someone sent me a batch of baby wipes for the kids and I phoned them to say thank you. It can be something as small as that or a fabulous new Prada bag, and I will always ring and say thank you and send a thank-you note, and I think that's really important."
So, basically, any new bags or stuff that comes out, people send it to her in the hope that she'll be seen wearing it?
"Yeah, a lot of the time they do."
So do you have mountains of stuff you've never worn?
"No, I wear most things."
After all, this is a person who thinks that it's amazing what some people throw away.
That night, Victoria is out in Manchester and there is a frenzy in the newspapers about what appears to be dirt in her ears. Before, I would have probably just have looked at those pictures and thought nothing of it. But when you've met her, and when you've just met her, and it is fresh in your mind what a normal person she is, you can't help but think that it is extraordinary to have to live life like that, to literally have the insides of your ears pored over in the newspapers.
In the following week, I read dozens of other pieces of tittle tattle about her and I begin to understand why she never reads newspapers. Because, truly, the person that is sometimes portrayed in the gutter press bears absolutely no resemblance to the person I met.
And I don't think even Victoria Beckham is that good an actress.

A great squash for baking! Great foliage, the fruit are smooth, thin skinned and rich. Plump seeds look like they would be good for roasted, but I saved all mine for re-planting.

What are the pros? Fruit matures early
What are the cons? none
Of 6 varieties from Baker Creek this one was the great success. Grew and matured an abundance of fruits through a warm spring and cool summer. Was the first vine to die down but by then it had produced a good crop. Easy to peel with a banjo peeler and great tasting. Can recommend for the average, dreadful, British summer.
21 out of 21 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Huge squash, very attractive a
What are the cons? Vines died quickly
Our spring turned cool and cloudy just after starting seeds in peat cubes so germination was poor. Got enough to plant two hills and vines went wild, growing into neighbor's trees. Only four fruit set with lots of male blossoms and few female blossoms but fruit grew fast. Three were over 2 feet long, the fourth was 12 inches long. Lots of dry hot weather this summer interspersed with overcast mornings--not ideal weather for garden. Vines died early but squash ripened okay hanging from trees! I'll save seed and try next year again. Excellent sweet flesh that bakes up well with good texture. Froze cooked meat for future pies and quick breads. I'd recommend this variety.
34 out of 34 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Can take hot weather
What are the cons? none at this time
Very tolerant of both cold and hot temperatures and very vigorous growth. One tip for this variety: North Georgia Candy Roaster has leaves that look different from the other varieties grown along side it. The shape of the leaves are the same but have a different coloration from the others. A light green/grey color forms along the veins of the leaves. Do not let this worry you or misinterpret this as a disease or nutrient deficiency, it is simply a unique quirk of Georgia Candy Roaster and is part of its genetics. Definitely worth a try if you want a unique and delicious winter squash.

So, the free-for-all games have continued giving me trouble because it never ever puts me in a full lobby. It just loads and loads and loads. I decided to try the other modes and see if I would have better luck. I tried Manhunt first, got on a team quickly, won the game, and moved on for a round of Alliance. My partner and I got our asses kicked all over the map (but hey, we tied on deaths and I had more kills/points, so huzzah?) and I thought no good could possibly come from that match. The fates had something different in mind!
Fast Learner - 25G - Kill your target and escape your pursuer in less than 10 seconds (multiplayer only)
I thought that was going to be damn hard to get, and it probably is most of the time, but for me it was dumb luck. I was slowly moving toward my target, who was hanging out in the center of the market, when I saw red flashes that alerted my that my pursuer was about to jam a knife up my ass. Since I haven't been able to stun anyone yet (I suck?) and my smoke bomb was still recharging, I decided to do the next best thing and run like a fucking mad man. I bulldozed into the plaza and, completely unintentionally, right into the little group that my target had blended into. She stunned me and I dropped to the ground just as my pursuer got into range for the kill, but since I was stunned I guess he couldn't kill me. Conveniently, my pursuer was also my target's target (still following me?), so my target promptly killed him. She wasn't paying attention, though, and my stunning wore off. I stood up as she was standing over her target/my pursuer's warm body, took a step forward, and stabbed her in the back.
Achievement Unlocked.

Review: Patton Oswalt's 'Zombie Spaceship Wasteland' is poignant, hilarious
Zombie Spaceship Wasteland is the title of the new book by Patton Oswalt. Part memoir, part essay collection, the book is alternately revealing, hilarious and, and livid, a description that would seem to apply equally to his work as a stand-up comedian. That anger is one of the things that I find serves as a dividing point for many audiences. Some people don't want to be infuriated by a stand-up, and other people think that's one of the primary purposes of stand-up comedy. If you're not provoking or poking at the soft spots in things, then what are you really doing? Oswalt is fully capable of a shotgun blast approach to things he finds infuriating or stupid or disappointing, but he is equally capable of turning that same excoriating insight on himself.
In the interest of full disclosure, I've known Patton for a while now. I met him while I was at Ain't It Cool News. One night, I went to see Aimee Mann and Michael Penn perform, and Patton was part of the evening, coming out to speak between songs as the two artists played separately and together. It was a great show, and I was already familiar with him as a stand-up. That night, though, he made reference to Ain't It Cool while he was onstage, which sort of blew my mind. I wasn't used to hearing us referenced anywhere, and when I mentioned it in an article later that week, Patton dropped me an e-mail to introduce himself. Over time, he either may or may not have contributed occasional articles to Ain't It Cool under various names. I am not willing to divulge that information, even if someone like Peter Travers is eager to do so. All I know is I stayed in touch with him because I recognized in him a very similar type of film fandom. He grew up in the same sort of suburban hellscape that I did, although I think I grew up in more of them by virtue of moving so often. And he worked the same sorts of jobs I did in high school, taking roughly the same path to the decision to move to Los Angeles. I'm sure that's a big part of why I have always enjoyed Patton's work as a comedian… we have a common cultural vocabulary.
I like that everything about the book is part of the joke of the book, right down to the description of the typeface used at the end of the book. I love the "Also By" section at the beginning of the book, and I wish I could read all of those today. I like that his bibliography touches on pretty much every nerd archetype, and his science fiction series, his fantasy series, and his children's books all sound absolutely insane. The closest comparison to this would either be Woody Allen's books like Without Feathers or Steve Martin's Cruel Shoes.
The "Preface Foreward Intro" outlines the way Patton fell in love with books and with reading, and one of the things he talks about is how books were his real gateway into a larger world, more than anything else. I agree completely. My parents were fairly strict when it came to movies, and I had to campaign for months to get to see an R-rated film. With books, though, as soon as I had a library card, I was let off the leash, and I can't remember my parents ever looking at a book and saying, "Oh, no, you can't read that." Before I ever saw anything explicit on film, whether violence or sex, I am sure I had already read about it many times over. Books were so much wilder, so much grander.
The second piece in the book, "Ticket Booth," is probably my favorite, which isn't to say the others are weak. It's just that he wrote this really personal, confessional piece about working at a movie theater while in high school, and the dynamics of that place and the feeling of boredom and anxiety and rage and terror that is just cloaked around you at that age, and reading it is sort of like having an acid flashback. It brings back a flood of tactile memories for me, nights spent standing in the box-office of the Regency 8, late nights in a closed movie theater, things we'd do to stave off inertia. Moral failures, large and small, mixed in with moments of joy and moments of sorrow. My life revolved around movie theaters for years, and even though I never met the specific people Patton's writing about, I knew them. I knew my own versions of them. And his writing about all of just feels true. Dead on and true.
Just as true is "Punch-Up Notes," a piece that is structured as Patton's notes to a friend regarding the fourth draft of his screenplay "You May Miss The Bride," which sounds like every single disturbingly stupid Hollywood comedy in which people don't behave like real human beings and everyone lies to everyone else about the most ridiculous things and there's lots of boners and vomit and maybe even some talking animals. It is a furious piece of comedy, and he speaks from experience here. Patton's done punch-up work on more films than you would believe, and he's seen the evolution of studio comedy scripts over the past decade close-up. The film he describes in this piece doesn't exist, but I guarantee I could pick ten films released last year that fit its description perfectly. Savage.
There's Dungeons & Dragons material, a story told in comic form, fake greeting cards, and more. The other best piece in the book, at least as lacerating as "Ticket Booth," is a look at an eleven-day gig Patton booked in Surrey in 1993. As told, "The Victory Tour" is a nightmare, and it encapsulates everything that is bizarre about the entire notion that people would pay other people to stand in a room and tell them jokes. I believe in stand-up as an art, but that's certainly not the way it's booked or presented in most places, and Patton's seen the business go through several cycles now. He's a survivor, and when people say that a job like his is "easy," they should read this piece and ask themselves if they think there's anything easy about the lifestyle it describes. The greatest comics I've ever seen do what they do for the same reason as most of the great artists I've ever met: they have to. That's what they're wired to do. That's all that they're wired to do. It's not a life I think people choose for glamour or for non-stop reward.
Patton Oswalt has earned his voice with his time on the road, and with his time in the trenches of Hollywood, and I sincerely hope Zombie Spaceship Wasteland turns out to be the first of many books for him, and that one day, that "Also By" page is too crowded for any fake titles to be included.
Zombie Spaceship Wasteland arrives in bookstores today.

SALEM, N.H. — Each trying to sound every bit the nominee, Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum looked past each other to run down President Barack Obama's economic policies Thursday as they jockeyed for support in New Hampshire and reached out to voters in conservative bellwether South Carolina.
Newt Gingrich and Jon Huntsman were happy to level their criticism at Romney, casting the front-runner as too timid to take on Obama and bring about needed change.

Are you looking for how to apply for the DICKS Sporting Goods Credit Card? Have you been unlucky in finding the online application as well as the login page for whenever you need to access your DICKS Sporting Goods Credit Card account? You are finally in the right place that part is for sure. What we have for you here is the news you need to know regarding the DICKS Sporting Goods Credit Card. You can't actually apply for the DICKS Sporting Goods Credit Card online. Even if you access the link we have provided here for applying, we have supplied that link so you can see their page which says you must apply in the store only. Needless to say finding their information was very difficult as their site isn't very well put together in the least. It seems they have all of the pages but they aren't connected to each other properly.
There seems to be tons of problems connected to the issue of the DICKS Sporting Goods Credit Card. We will just kind of list them for you here so you can get the point quickly. There site is such a disaster that we want to make this very painless.
1. If you are going to make purchases outside of the store, they will give you one point but it will be for every $3 instead of the usual $1 most all rewards cards offer. Perhaps with their disaster of a site this was a typo on their part (hopefully).
2. You really don't have a say in what type of card you will be approved for.
3. You really just might have a hard time trying to maintain your account online is you can't find the proper link. We have provided that link for you here though and hopefully their site developers won't change it on you or else we will change it again for you here when we find it.
You could be very well be trying to only get the in-store card but they may approve you for the MasterCard and there's nothing you can do other than try to cancel it. Yes, TRY to cancel it.
4. GE Capital Bank is the one behind all of their financing and things of that nature, and we all know just how horrible THEIR reputation is.
5. There really aren't many benefits on the card, like at all. You have to use an outside source if you want to try to get some real benefits.
Other than the problems, here are some of the things you can expect out of the DICKS Sporting Goods Credit Card:
1. You will get 10% off your initial purchase with your DICKS Sporting Goods Credit Card.
2. You will be able to get three times the points you would normally get only during the month of your birthday.
In the end of it all, we really don't think any of you should be wasting your time with this company or the DICKS Sporting Goods Credit Card for that matter. Maybe if their site was easier to access people could feel more comfortable with dealing money with these guys. However, of course it's your decision to make. Hopefully you are able to find some place that happens to be way better than this place to get a card from.

An average election in the United States has around 60% of the eligible voting population turning out at the polls. There are a variety of reasons why people don't get out and vote: their job schedule does not allow it, they are away and didn't apply for an absentee ballot, disillusionment with the political atmosphere, among others. With the rise in popularity of suppressive voting legislation, we may see an even lower turnout than normal in this election. What can we do to get out the vote?
Tell your neighbors
Remind your friends, neighbors, family members, and congregations to vote on November 8th. Let them know that voting is one of the best ways to make our voices heard. If the political system is not what they'd like it to be, they can change it through voting. Remind them that Election Day involves voting far more than the presidency - important local issues are also at stake. A group of you and your friends can get together and organize a night of phone banking before the election to call the families in your church directory and remind them to vote.
Help out
Some people you know may not be able to make it to the polls. If you know of someone who does not drive, offer them a ride to their polling place on Election Day. If you know many people who don't drive, ask a few friends to volunteer. Single parents or working parents may not be able to leave their children alone to go to the polls. Offer to babysit. If you have a teenager who is not old enough to vote but can watch younger children, ask them if they'd be willing to volunteer to babysit so parents can go out and vote.
Know your laws
With the rise of restrictive voting legislation, people may not vote because they aren't sure what identification they will need at the polls, or they feel it will be too much of a hassle. Find out the requirements in your state for registering, voting, early voting and more via the Election Protection web site.
Teach your kids
The largest block of eligible voters who don't turn out at the polls are young people. Start talking to your children (and nieces, nephews, friends' children, and grandchildren) about voting. Explain to them why you believe it's important to vote, and get their ideas on why some people may not vote. Let your children know that their political opinions and their vote matters so future generations will turn out at the polls.

If you have an inexpensive IPsec VPN endpoint router and want to connect to the LAN behind it while you're on the road, you'll need to use a VPN client. Microsoft has included an IPsec client in Win 2000 and XP, but it is not the most intuitive thing to configure, and many have given up trying in frustration.
Contrary to what you may read in the forums and newsgroups, Microsoft's IPsec client can be made to work! This article will show you how to get it up and running so you can be tunneling away in no time!
The Setup
Figure 1 shows the network configuration that I'll be using as an example. It uses all private IP addresses, so you should be able to set it up and try it without having to be actually connected to the Internet.
Figure 1: VPN Test setup
This procedure uses a Linksys BEFSX41 as the VPN endpoint router which handles two IPsec tunnels, but should also work with Linksys' BEFVP41, which supports 70 IPsec tunnels. You don't have to use these Linksys routers and could use any other router with built-in VPN endpoint. But many other inexpensive VPN endpoint routers have tunnel throughput in the 400 - 800kbps range vs. the SX41's 2.5Mbps - a limitation you'd definitely notice.

Orlando -- How'd you like to play golf for 10-15 percent of the usual green fee? That's the pitch from Bid4Golf.com, a new website founded by David Robinson, a former club manager from Canada.
Related: Highlights from Demo Day at the PGA Show
The catch -- or maybe a big part of the appeal, depending on your personality -- is that you'll have to participate in a "penny auction" to buy it. Penny auctions were popularized by the website quibids.com, where people purchase electronics and other items in lively, rapid-fire auctions. Each bid increases by a penny. Unlike eBay, where bidding costs you nothing unless you win the item, in a penny auction you pay anywhere from 50 to 75 cents per bid.
The launch date for Bid4Golf.com is March 1. Robinson aims to start with daily fee courses in Phoenix, Southern California's Inland Empire, Dallas/Fort Worth and possibly Calgary and Edmonton.
The appeal to courses, as Robinson tells it, is that they get help filling their tee sheets at their full green-fee rate. Here's how it works:

After a meal, contractions of the stomach occur either when the stomach contains very little food or when it is completely empty. These contractions are usually associated with the sensation of hunger (Carlson1). The contractions of the empty stomach may be influenced through the nervous system by impulses from the vagus and splanchnic nerves. Emotions such as fear, rage, anger or joy cause an inhibition of the contractions primarily throughthe stimulation of the splanchnics (Carlson2). The motility of the empty stomach also seems to be influenced chemically by means of the condition of the blood; i. e., the injection of blood from a starved dog into the veins of a normal animal is accompanied by the onset of gastric contractions (Carlson3). Therefore, foods that are quickly digested and readily absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract should probably delay the oncoming of hunger contractions as compared with those that

Even fans of extreme minimalism still need on and off switches—after all, what good is a beautiful lamp if it doesn't work? Industrial Designer William Lee, though, has figured out how to banish the on/off switch using a simple tilting mechanism that knows to kill its soft glow when the lamp's been knocked over.
This is The Switch. It's half pepper shaker, half salt shaker, and entirely something I wish I'd thought of years ago.

A recent Apple patent for an iSight camera located behind the screen instead of above it sounds like a cool idea—too bad a system just like it has already been invented.
The first time we saw the Google phone (codenamed Switch) we weren't sure what to make of it. Two months later the Internet is buzzing again with claims that the "GPhone" will be BlackBerry-like and available on multiple carriers, rather than just one.

We're all for homages and sharing ideas, but this Sears ad looks a bit too much like the old Apple Switch ads in timing, editing, and style. It makes us ashamed that we bought our Xbox 360s at Sears early this year when demand was high and supply was low. We're still paying for it now, as Sears continues to spam us…

Will consider issues raised by Rahul on return: PM
By IANS - WASHINGTON
Published: 27th September 2013 08:02 PM
Last Updated: 27th September 2013 08:02 PM
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Friday the issues raised by Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi about a controversial ordinance sent to the president would be considered on his return to India.
"The issues raised will be considered on my return to India after due deliberations in the cabinet," said a statement issued by the Prime Minister after Rahul Gandhi said the ordinance that seeks to protect convicted lawmakers was "nonsense" and, in his personal opinion, "should be torn up and thrown away".
The Prime Minister who is in the US where he is to hold a bilateral summit meeting with President Barack Obama, said that Rahul Gandhi had written to him on the issue and also made a statement earlier.
"The Ordinance cleared by the Cabinet pertaining to the Representation of the People Act has been a matter of much public debate. The Congress vice president has also written to me on the issue and also made a statement. The government is seized of all these developments. The issues raised will be considered on my return to India after due deliberations in the cabinet," the statement said.

Two-Story House and Garage
Location East Williamsburg
Price $300,000 (2001)
Square feet 2500 (lot)
Occupants Mike Ballou (artist; builder; director, Four Walls Projects and the Slide & Film Club), Kara Van Woerden (graphic designer)
An important thing happened. You, Mr. Williamsburg, in the neighborhood since 1983, living on the edge, in a garage, cold for 18 yearsyou have just bought a house and the first stove you've ever owned in your adult life! Now I hear your action has set off a buying frenzy among your Williamsburg colleagues in their fortieswell, maybe six of them, who have been living similar, touch-and-go existences in commercial buildings. What made you do it? [Mike] I'd been thinking about buying for a while. I heard about this place last summer. You hear all these horror stories. But this was almost headache-free. Mary, the owner, had raised a family here, and she had a really reasonable price. My mortgage worked out to be cheaper than my old rent. Here's a picture of us at the closing: a group of people agreeing on something we all want.
I heard you broke out in hives before the closing. That was before September 11. Aftermy closing date was September 12, but we postponedI realized there are far worse things that can happen than losing everything you own. Everybody who buys a house fears this. Look, there's an arbor in the garden. The grapes are glorious, so sweetred, white ones. It's like being in paradise. There's all this stuff from the Italian immigrants, people around here were mostly from Naples. There's a winepress in the basement, a fig tree. We're putting an herb garden here. [Kara] No, that's for the climbing vegetables. [Mike, inhaling his cigarette] Another wonderful day on Maspeth. The garden is Kara's call. But I have a very green thumb. I'm going to widen the garage about eight feet, make it my studio.
Your house has yellow siding, like your video piece, a meditation on 95 kinds of siding. Here's the Afro study roomorange walls, dark wood.

What's this Post-it note on the computer? "I love you and will daydream of you today." That's from Kara.
Fortunately, being a big, tough builder, you know how to do renovation. I'm working myself to death here. I'm convinced I'm cheating myself on the job.
I heard you goofed up your kitchen counter. The contractor's curse! Counter tops are pretty expensive, so I thought I'd just make them out of yellow pine stair treads and laminate them. When the time came to cut, I fucked it up. You do really nice work for jobs, but when it comes to yours . . .
How did you and Kara meet? Kara had bunion surgery. I saw her recuperating with crutches on her roof. This was last year. I waved. I said, "It looks like it hurts." Later that day, I was working on some scaffolding. It fell. I broke my foot. A week later, we ran into each other. We were both on crutches. The rest is a very happy life.
I came over thinking we'd be talking about how Four Walls was always part of your house, how early on you became this prime force in an alternative world with one-day exhibits and art panels with hairdressers, priests, and psychiatrists in all those Williamsburg years when people carried knives to survive, and then that July day in '88the barbecue by the river; 200 came, you said. The streetwalkers were out and it was like groovy. You saw thunderclouds coming from New Jersey and you all thought, Nothing can hurt us. But then it rained. This was after you went to the Minneapolis School of Art and read Heidegger with a local plasterer and . . . [Kara] Did you see the worms?
Don't come near me with that plastic chest! [Kara] They're just for composting.

After little debate, the Greeley-Evans School District 6 Board of Education decided on Monday that the replacement school for John Evans I.B. Middle School will be named Prairie Heights Middle School.
"I was torn between Evans and Prairie Heights, but Prairie grew on me," said Doug Lidiak, board president. "I like the idea of the reflection of the location, and its view of the plains."
In addition, the school's mascot will be the hawks and its colors hunter green and silver.
"Hawks just seems like a good fit with Prairie Heights," Lidiak said. "The colors seemed really, really unique."
The school is expected to open in the fall of 2015.
District officials, parents and students narrowed the field of names that drew more than 100 choices from community members to three for the board to chose from.
» Prairie Heights, which reflects the topography of the location, as the school is on the prairie but it is on the rise and offers a good view of the plains and the mountains. There are no other Prairie Heights schools in Colorado.
» Ashton Creek, which comes from the land the school will be built on residing next to the former Ashton School House and nearby the Ashton Estates subdivision.
» Evans, to honor the original building name and the person it was named after, John Evans. It also gives emphasis on the geographic location of the new school, in Evans. It was most popular among students.
Finalists for the mascot were the Hawks and the Dragons and colors were dark green and black, black and gold or hunter green and silver.
Vice President Julia Richard said Prairie Heights seemed the best fit 50 years from now when people look back on the area.
"It harkens back to the days of the prairie and can be seen from the heights of the mountains," she said.
