While we're undeniably jazzed it's the weekend [1], we need to stop and give thanks to a week that was jam-packed with all kinds of fantastic fashion news. Consider what we learned this week: whether or not we're basic b*tches, that Mindy Kaling is a bona fide fashion icon, and the type of stone we should consider for our engagement rings. You're intrigued, right? Keep scrolling to catch up on all of it in case you didn't see it the first time around.

Are You Basic or Not?
The web started buzzing about being basic, and we immediately turned toward the closet to figure out the key pieces that could identify whether or not you're afflicted [4]. The verdict's still out on how many of our Twitter followers are guilty.
East Coast vs. West Coast
After J.Crew style star Jenna Lyons [5] started dishing on the differences between style on both coasts, we got to thinking: which would our readers side with [6]? Thankfully, the Facebook community is never shy about expressing its opinion.
Your Stone Style
It looks like a lot of our Facebook fans are considering taking the next step in their relationship if the popularity of our diamond-deciding quiz [7] is any indication.

Getting Dressed Was, Um, Different
Fashion Revolution Day, which honors the victims of the Bangladesh clothing factory horror last year, blew up across social media: Facebook was fascinated by checking out all the style setters wearing their stuff inside out [11].

A Breakup Letter
With warm Spring weather still playing coy with NYC, we're angry and totally over wearing black tights with dresses and skirts. We're betting a whole bunch of Twitter agreed with the "we're done" letter we penned [13] to the offending item.
Mindy Is a Surprise Fashion Girl
Twitter loved finding out that laugh pro Mindy Kaling is, actually, a secret style star. We studied her Instagram account for her best style takeaways [14].

Shoe Support
We narrowed down the 10 pairs of shoes every woman should own [16], and Pinterest showed their approval. Something missing from your closet? Time to go shopping!
Thank Goodness For Kate!
The Duchess's (style) tour might be wrapped up now, but that doesn't mean we have to stop gushing over her pitch-perfect outfits. We have some like-minded Facebook fans, too, who were eager to see each outfit as it debuted [17].
Get the Most Gorgeous Wedding Photos Ever
Whether you're in the throes of wedding [18] planning or simply like to keep things in mind for, you know, the future, we're here to ensure you get the most jaw-dropping images of your dress [19] ever. Our Pinterest followers loved the tips!

Former American President Jimmy Carter, right, and former Republican Governor of New Jersey Christine Todd Whitman pay their respects at the grave of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, Saturday Jan. 8, 2005.
1. "He was a rough man, but there were times when his caresses could be ever-so-tender..." "We know, Jimmy, we know."
2. "Yo! Beer man! Over here!"
3. Carter fondly recalled, "After I lost the election in 1980, Arafat offered to blow-up a busload of Republican children. He was always thoughtful that way, always thinking of others."
4. And none of them ever found out, "Rosebud" was his favorite pair of nipple clamps.
5. The men were saddened, but Christine was still puzzled by the word "Eskimo" underlined in Arafat's copy of Moby Dick.
6. Carter fumed. "Daisies! He hated Daisies! Where are the Merigolds! Oh, someone is going to get such a bitch-slap."
7. "He was actually something of a health nut," Carter would tell them later. "I remember looking in his medicine cabinet. It was full of vitamins A, Z, and T."
8. My own personal nightmare: Finding myself at Arafat's gravesite, without a huge bag of dog poop.
9. No amount of flowers could cover the stench of Arafat's rotting feet, coupled with the leftover funk of Michael Moore that Carter never got out of his jacket, and tripled by Carter's own uncontrollable uncontinence.
10. "I wonder if they ever got the gerbil out," Carter wondered.

Operation and Maintenance
Quaternary Ammonium Compounds
We are having operational issues with a small activated sludge treatment plant that serves a truck stop with an in-store fast food restaurant. We think this may be the result of improper usage of sanitizers, quaternary ammonium compounds in particular. This is a small plant, average flow only 4,500 gallons per day. Wanting to know if others have traced plant upsets to these sanitizers.
Unfortunately, more than likely, you'll not get an answer here at the WEF Operation and Maintenance Forum. There is a posting at www.waterandwastewater in regards to quaternary ammonia with quite a few responses. Use the following link to view it:
This Forum is much more active.
David, some years back we noticed a degradation in a lagoon we used for an industrial facility. Our first cell went from its usual healthy looking color to a grey dishwater appearance. We ultimately traced it back to an onsite cafeteria that was doing chemical sanitation for dishwashing. Part of the problem was that the cafeteria worker washing dishes had figured if the label called for a tablet of sanitizer, several would be great.
After we got the 'tablet feeder' calibrated, our problem went away.
With your relatively small volume of water, I would think you could definitely see a problem with the sanitizer, particularly if they overuse the product.
Worked with a small SBR facility that served a conference center. Several years ago starting having problems with the facility. Poor BOD/TSS removal and microscope indicated complete lack of protozoas. Investigation found automatic quat compound dispensers recently installed in kitchen. Further found kitchen staff had very little training or knowledge of how to use the sanitizers. Final straw was when one of kitchen staff turned off auto feed to manual and forgot about it, needless to say the biomass was completely wiped out. Finally convinced the kitchen manager to go with other less lethal sanitizers such as iodine, and have not a problem since.

Welcome to the June 2012 edition of the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) eNewsletter, where you'll find information about the CPUC's small business efforts, the 408 area code, and more!
The CPUC was a part of the University of Southern California's Looking Ahead: Small Business Contracting Connections in Los Angeles in May.
The CPUC spoke about its General Order 156, the CPUC's Utility Supplier Diversity Program, which encourages investor-owned utilities to purchase 21.5 percent of its goods and services from diverse firms (15 percent minority owned firms, 5 percent women owned firms and 1.5 percent disabled veteran owned firms). In addition, the CPUC's Small Business Program focuses on two areas 1) Promoting procurement opportunities with the state and utilities; 2) Providing education and outreach necessary to raise internal and external awareness of various regulatory and legislative policy issues impacting the small business community. The CPUC also assists small businesses with utility related complaints and issues and informs small businesses of CPUC contracting opportunities.
Return to Top
More than 120 senior citizens in San Jose learned about helpful consumer programs during the CPUC's presentation at the Berryessa Community Center.
Attendees were provided with CPUC packets of information that included fact sheets on energy and water conservation, how to recognize phone scams and prevent from falling victim to them, dialing 911 during emergencies, preparedness tips in the event of a power outage, how to contact the CPUC with utility/utility service concerns, California LifeLine, and information on the new a visual component to the Speech-to-Speech service through the CPUC's Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program.
The presentation focused on how seniors can participate in the energy discount and payment arrangement programs such as CARE, FERA, Energy Savings Assistance Program, Medical Baseline, and Balanced Payment Plans. Attendees were encouraged to visit their "My Energy" account on PG&E's website to take advantage of real-time information to take control of their energy consumption.
The CPUC, through its Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program (DDTP), has launched a visual component to its Speech-to-Speech service in order to make placing assisted calls easier and faster for customers. This visual component to California's Speech-to-Speech service is the first of its kind in the U.S.
Speech-to-Speech service enables a person whose speech is difficult for others to understand to communicate by telephone with the help of a Communications Assistant, who remains on the line to assist during the call. With a Visually Assisted Speech-to-Speech call, in addition to a basic phone call to the relay service, the Speech-to-Speech caller is also using a webcam or videophone with Skype to connect with the Communications Assistant at a relay call center. This enables the Communications Assistant to see the Speech-to-Speech user as they are speaking. Seeing the Speech-to-Speech caller's mouth movements, facial expressions, and gestures, and possibly even cue cards (e.g., yes, no) can enable the Communications Assistant to better understand and re-voice for the caller. Users of Augmentative and Alternative Communication devices can also share the information they are typing via Skype, using computer emulation.
The DDTP is a program of the CPUC, providing Californians who are deaf and disabled with specialized telephone equipment and relay services through the California Telephone Access Program and California Relay Service, respectively. Speech-to-Speech is a part of the California Relay Service. The Program serves people who are challenged using a standard telephone because of difficulty seeing, hearing, speaking, moving, or remembering.
Consumers in the 408 area code should begin dialing 1+ area code + telephone number as the best way to prepare for the introduction of the new 669 area code overlay later this fall.
In October 2011, the CPUC approved an all-services overlay that added a new 669 area code to the same geographic region as the existing 408 area code in order to provide additional telephone numbers to meet increasing consumer demand. The January 2013 forecasted 408 number exhaust prompted the CPUC's action.
All consumers having telephone numbers with a 408 area code should start dialing 1 + the 10-digit number (1 + 408 + telephone number) before October 20, 2012. After that date, 1 + the 10-digit number dialing will be mandatory. (To complete calls from a mobile phone in the 408 or 669 area codes, callers do not have to include the 1 when dialing the area code and phone number.)
After October 20, 2012, calls made without 1 + the 10-digit number will not be completed and the caller will be instructed to hang up and dial again. Beginning November 20, 2012, new communications services may be assigned numbers with the new 669 area code.
The 669 overlay will only change dialing patterns. It will not change a customer's existing telephone number, including current area code, or the cost of a telephone call, coverage area, or other rates and services. A local call will remain a local call regardless of the number of digits dialed.
The 408 area code is predominantly in Santa Clara County, as well as neighboring cities and small unincorporated portions of Alameda and Santa Cruz Counties. Cities in the 408 area code include San Jose, as well as the cities of Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, and a portion of Palo Alto.
To prepare for the new 669 area code that will be overlaid on the 408 area code geographic region this fall, consumers should ensure that their automatic dialing equipment or other types of equipment that are programmed with a 7-digit telephone number are re-programmed to use the new dialing procedure. Some examples are life safety systems, fax machines, Internet dial-up numbers, alarm and security systems, speed dialers, gates, mobile phone contact lists, call forwarding settings, voicemail services, and similar functions.
Visit our Consumer Information Center for more assistance. Consumers with utility complaints can call our Consumer Affairs Branch at 1-800-649-7570.

Manhattan Psychiatrist And Medicaid Recipient Charged With $50,000 Medicaid Fraud
Attorney General Spitzer today announced that a Harlem psychiatrist has been charged with stealing more than $50,000 from taxpayers, in part, by allowing one of his patients, a Medicaid recipient, to treat patients. The Medicaid recipient has also been charged in the theft.
Dr. John Bolling and Eric Westry were arraigned late yesterday afternoon before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice John A.K. Bradley on a 31-count indictment. They were charged with the crimes of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, and Offering a False Instrument For Filing in the First Degree. If convicted, they each face up to 15 years in prison.
According to prosecutors, in carrying out a five-year scheme, Dr. Bolling allowed Westry, an unlicensed counselor and Medicaid recipient, to treat patients. Dr. Bolling then billed the Medicaid program as if he himself had provided the psychotherapy sessions. In addition, Dr. Bolling defrauded Medicaid by inflating the amount of time he actually spent treating patients, and by billing for many "phantom" patient sessions that never took place.
"The taxpayer-funded Medicaid system was designed to assist citizens in need, and my office will continue to aggressively pursue and prosecute those individuals who steal from the taxpayers of this state," said Spitzer.
Dr. Bolling, 61, maintains a practice at his residence at 203 West 138th Street in Manhattan. He was charged with one count of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, thirteen counts of Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree, and seventeen counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree.
Westry, 33, of 61 Brentwood Drive in Waterbury, Connecticut, is a school counselor for the Waterbury school system. He was charged with one count of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree and eight counts of Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree.
Spitzer noted that his office has referred the case to the State Health Department's Office of Professional Medical Conduct for a review of Dr. Bolling's medical license.
Special Assistant Attorney General Cassandra Bethel, of the New York City Regional Office of the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, is prosecuting the case. All cases are handled under the direct supervision of Deputy Attorney General Jos? Maldonado.
The charges against Dr. Bolling and Westry are accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Abraham Lincoln
There are those who still think that they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression singing songs to freedom. Garet Garret
A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers .... The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth." Aldous Huxley Brave New World foreword to 1946 edition
By CHELLIS GLENDINNING
Surveillance of private calls and emails. Cameras documenting every move. No habeas corpus. Unimpeded entry into personal financial records. Voting machines changing election outcomes with the flick of a switch. Protest defined as terrorism. Many people hope that the loss of civil rights Americans have endured since the onslaughts mounted by Bush Administration II is a political reality that can be reversed through electoral will.
Established mechanisms of political power are, of course, the immediately available means for attempting change. Notions of citizens' rights, freedom, and democratic participation are compelling paradigms that have consistently stirred the bravery of U.S. citizens – and yet elder political scientist Sheldon Wolin, who taught the philosophy of democracy for five decades, sees the current predicament of corporate-government hegemony as something more endemic.
"Inverted totalitarianism," as he calls it in his recent Democracy Incorporated, "lies in wielding total power without appearing to, without establishing concentration camps, or enforcing ideological uniformity, or forcibly suppressing dissident elements so long as they remain ineffectual." To Wolin, such a form of political power makes the United States "the showcase of how democracy can be managed without appearing to be suppressed."
Wolin rightfully points out that the origins of U.S. governance were "born with a bias against democracy," and yet the system has quickly lunged beyond its less-than-democratic agrarian roots to become a mass urban society that, with distinct 1984 flavorings, could be called techno-fascism. The role of technology is the overlooked piece of the puzzle of the contemporary political conundrum.
What are its mechanisms of control?
The use of telecommunications technologies for surveillance is obvious. So are willful alteration of computer data for public reportage, manipulation of television news for opinion-shaping, and use of microwave-emitting weapons for crowd control.
Less obvious are what could be called "inverted mechanization" whereby citizens blindly accept the march of technological development as an expression of a very inexact, some would say erroneous, concept of "progress." One mechanism propagating such blindness is the U.S. government's invisible role as regulatory handmaiden to industry, offering little-to-no means for citizen determination of what technologies are disseminated; instead we get whatever GMOs and nuclear plants corporations dish out. A glaring example is the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that, seeking to not repeat the "errors" of the nuclear industry, offers zero public input as to health or environmental impacts of its antennae, towers, and satellites – the result being that the public has not a clue about the very real biological effects of electromagnetic radiation. Inverted mechanization is thrust forward as well by unequal access to resources: corporations lavishly crafting public opinion and mounting limitless legal defenses versus citizen groups who may be dying from exposure to a dangerous technology but whose funds trickle in from bake sales. In his Autonomous Technology: Technics-Out-Of-Control as a Theme in Political Thought, political scientist Langdon Winner points out that, to boot, the artifacts themselves have grown to such magnitude and complexity that they define popular conception of necessity. Witness the "need" to get to distant locales in a few hours or enjoy instantaneous communication.
Even less obvious a mechanism of public control is the technological inversion that results from the fact that, as filmmaker Godfrey Reggio puts it, "We don't use technology, we live it." Like fish in water we cannot consider modern artifacts as separate from ourselves and so cannot admit that they exist.
Social critic Lewis Mumford was among the first to make sense of the systemic nature of technology. In The Pentagon of Power, he identified the underlying metaphor of mass civilizations as the megamachine. The assembly line -- of factory, home, education, agriculture, medicine, consumerism, entertainment. The machine -- centralizing decision-making and control. The mechanical – fragmenting every act until its relationship to the whole is lost; insisting upon the pre-determined role of each region, each community, each individual.
Mumford deftly peels away false hope from a social reality based on principles of centralization, control, and efficiency. In 1962 he peered into the future and saw the pentagon of power incarnate: "a more voluminous productivity, augmented by almost omniscient computers and a wider range of antibiotics and inoculations, with a greater control over our genetic inheritance, with more complex surgical operations and transplants, with an extension of automation to every form of human activity."
Inverted totalitarianism is both inverted and totalitarian because of the power of modern mass technological systems to shape and control social realities, just as they shape and control individual understandings of those realities. Its contemporary existence is most definitely the result of the efforts of a group of right-wing fundamentalists who hurled themselves into power through devious means -- but today's desperate social inequities, dire ecological predicament, and fascist politic are the offspring of long-evolving technological centralization and control as well.
The challenge is to see the whole and all its parts, not just the shiny new device that purports to make one's individual life easier or sexier -- which in itself is a contributor to the making of political disengagement. The whole is a megamachine, with you and your liquid TV, Blackberry, and Prius a necessary cog.

These sunglasses complement your look with an accessory that is a cut above the rest. True to the Edel-Optics motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", you are on a par with celebrities, impressing in every environment.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. Rectangular models are particularly suitable for round and oval faces. The rectangular shape also builds a bridge to corners and edges from an image aspect. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Black eyeglasses are a must-have. They can be combined with anything and refine any style. Whether at your desk, in a club or at a fashion show - black always fits. Grey lenses are a classic in sunglasses. Their high degree of neutrality with regard to the field of view, makes them particularly suitable for everyday use. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
If you press the button "order with prescription lenses', our digital dispensing optician will install the lenses in the original tint or as you wish. Your dioptre values are the only thing we require from you.
If this pair is your favourite, you can order them without hesitation. We have them in stock and can send them off immediately at a super affordable Edel-Optics price. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

text: Filson tries to evaluate each product incident to gage if we should repair/replace items damaged in use. Some products cannot be repaired; other times, we may be able to repair it for a small cost of labor required to mend it. In some cases we cannot accept responsibility for repair or replacement (product has been in use for many years, misuse, abuse, etc.). We tend to err on the side of doing what is right for each customer and the particular circumstances. I had always held Filson in high esteem for the wonderful line of upland clothing I had seen in catalogs and on "other" hunters. I personally started buying Filson gear regularly when I got into the Outdoor Industry 13 years ago and had them as a client. I had not even had so much of a hiccup with anything I had purchased until one day in Northeast, MT on a winter pheasant hunt about 8 years ago. A group of 6 friends or so had been scouring the fields outside of Plentywood, MT for a couple of days. On this particular day I was walking an irrigation ditch opposite a soy bean field with my ever present hunting companion, my black lab Drake. As I was looking for a clear area to drop down into the field I became distracted by movement off to my left and while looking (and walking) my next step was into a critter hole. The next thing I knew I was ass over tea kettle rolling down the hill…gun going one direction with shells flying out of my shell pouch everywhere. When I finally came to a stop my dog was standing over me and looked at me like "what the _ _ _ _ !". Not one of my finer moments in the field. I got up and brushed myself off, checked myself out, Grabbed my hat and then started to comb through the brush for shells and anything else I may have lost out of my pockets at the time. I picked up my gun checked it over good and again started on my way. As I was walking however I noticed an airy sensation on my backside and upon further inspection discovered that somehow I had torn a rather large hole in my Filson Lightweight Brush Pants. Soon enough my buddies had all caught on to my airy derriere and ribbed me pretty good. I had a second pair of Filson's on the trip so things would be fine. Upon my return to Seattle I stopped by the store to see if my pants could be repaired; figuring I would pay them whatever to sew them back up. I had after all apparently caught them on something pretty sharp on my tumble since the tear was in an "L" shape and not on a seam. The person at the counter that listened to my story, chuckled, then said, "This looked to be quite a spill"… I concurred recollecting the event as it unfolded. Then to my surprise he pointed towards the shelf in the back and said, "Go grab a new pair!" without batting an eye. Wow…was all I could think and thanked him immensely. I have been a true Filson believer ever since and have told this story countless times. It's this kind of attention to Customer Service and backing up of a quality product that will keep me coming back as a loyal Filson customer for years to come.

Kevin Federline Apologizes To Ex-Fiancée Shar Jackson
Britney Spears' former husband Kevin Federline has apologized to his ex-fiancée for dumping her to pursue his romance with the pop superstar.
Federline met Spears while he was working as one of her backing dancers and he was engaged to Shar Jackson, who was pregnant with the couple's second child, when he became romantically involved with singer. He went on to marry Spears and have two sons with her before they split in 2006.
Federline has now apologized to his former fiancée on TV during an episode of Celebrity Fit Club, which saw them both compete with other contestants to lose weight. Jackson burst into tears and hugged her former partner after he told her his behavior at the time had been "selfish" and acknowledged the "pain" he had caused her.
Federline said, "I've seen her go through so much stuff before the show, and I'm a big part of that. I know I've caused you a lot of pain. I've been really selfish. I guess I got so wrapped up in all this other s**t that I never really got a chance to sit back and apologize to you. I really do want you to know that I am sorry. I think I got caught up in my own selfishness. When you're in a moment like that you don't really think about anyone else."
"It's just been a wild ride the last few years and I'm sorry that you got a big s**t at the end of that stick."
Jackson accepted his apology, adding, "That meant the world to me."

SAN JOSE MINE, Chile — Florencio Avalos, the first of 33 miners to be rescued, has surfaced after 69 days underground.
He stepped out of a rescue capsule amid sobs from his young son and received a bracing bear hug from Chilean President Sebastian Pinera.
Mr. Avalos smiled widely as he hugged rescuers, then Mr. Pinera, as his wife, two sons, and father looked on. His 7-year-old son Bairo sobbed, as did Chile's first lady, Cecilia Morel. Then Mr. Avalos was escorted into a medical triage center for the first of a battery of tests.
The plan was for the rescue capsule to be sent back into the mine. The other 32 miners were to be brought to the surface one-by-one. The whole process was expected to take more than 24 hours.
The 69 days the miners spent below the surface was the longest anyone has ever been trapped underground and survived.

Bill Murray Celebrates 20th Anniversary Of 'The Late Show' Dressed As Liberace
Bill Murray, who was the very first guest on "The Late Show With David Letterman" in 1993, celebrated the show's 20th anniversary by exiting a vintage car on stage and dressing up as Liberace.
It was the 26th appearance for the actor.
Murray made a grand entrance in a white vintage Rolls-Royce. He wore a flamboyant cape, carried a white toy poodle, and donned Liberace's signature hairstyle. He was escorted out of the vehicle by a young, blonde man wearing a gold and white chauffeur uniform.
"Wow. Delightful...I didn't know you had a dog," Letterman commented.
"I had to get something that went with this outfit," Murray responded.
Murray unearthed a time capsule - using a pickaxe and jackhammer - as part of the festivities.
In related news, HBO's Liberace miniseries "Behind The Candelabra" has received Emmy nominations for "Outstanding Miniseries or Movie" and "Outstanding Lead Actor In A Miniseries or Movie" (Matt Damon and Michael Douglas)

The Big Chill
Seven days in, 2014 has (IMHO) been a challenge. Last week (during the blizzard) I had an unfortunate run-in with a deer while navigating my way home, and although I'm happy to be alive, I'm sad that Bambi didn't make it. The front end of my pickup is gone, but both Dharma (the Wonder Dog) and I survived, and for that I'm grateful. Desperately wanting to smoke, I managed to get the truck into the garage (after five attempts), shoveled a path to the front door and hunkered down, (foolishly) glancing at the thermometer. Cringing at the reading (minus eight), I flipped on the television, seeking diversion. Scrolling through my choices, I threw an ashtray at the wall and wept. "200 Cigarettes" was playing, and while I might be a fan of Ben Affleck and Dave Chappelle, I was in no mood. Grumbling and cranky, I flipped channels. Because of the holiday, re-runs were rampant, so I began a search for a film that would take my mind off the temperature, smoking, my truck and snow. I love old movies and am a fan of both Bogart and Bacall, but "Key Largo" sounded frustrating, (too many palm trees) so my search continued. "What are the odds?" I whimpered to the dog as "Coffee and Cigarettes" appeared on screen. Described as "a series of vignettes that all have coffee and cigarettes in common," it did not seem prudent, so I continued to scroll. "Turner Classics sounds safe," I rasped at the screen, and having never heard of Warner Brothers' "Bright Leaf" I settled into the couch, covered in blankets, with the pup ensconced on my lap. I dimmed the lights, ignoring my desire to smoke and sighed. Minutes into the movie, made in 1950 and starring Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal and (once again) Lauren Bacall, I sat up and screamed, causing the pup to run for cover. As it turns out, "Leaf" centers on a 19th-century tobacco farmer (Cooper) building a successful cigarette empire, while seeking revenge on old enemies and finding romance (Bacall). Oh Em Gee. A preview of "Now Voyager" featuring Bette Davis blowing smoke in Paul Henreid's face was enough to cause me to turn off the TV, while flinging the remote, howling.

PAMPA - A preliminary investigation into an explosion that killed a Pampa woman Tuesday indicates the blast was accidental, likely caused by a spark that ignited chemicals.
Gray County Chief Deputy Kelly Rushing said Wednesday that investigators from the fire marshal's office and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had concluded the preliminary investigation into the explosion at Titan Specialties Inc.
"Their preliminary finding is that it's going to be accidental," Rushing said. "They (Titan employees) were mixing some chemicals back there using a machine, and somehow a spark set off the explosion. They don't know if that machine malfunctioned or if there was another source."
The blast, which happened Tuesday morning, killed employee Karen Standefer, 41, and critically injured another employee, Merry Jenkins.
Rushing said the last update he had on Jenkins was that she was still in critical condition in the burn unit at the University Medical Center in Lubbock.
Things were subdued at the Titan plant Wednesday as employees struggled to get back to work while still dealing with the loss of a well-liked employee.
"They came to work together ... spent all day together and left laughing ... together."
Mike Gandy
"The plant has been reopened," said Jerry Wilson, executive vice president.
"We're still kind of in a grieving phase right now. We had a meeting this morning and told the employees if they weren't ready to work, to take the time they need."
The Titan plant at 2838 Alcock St. manufactures equipment for the oil-well service industry.
Co-workers at Titan said Standefer - who had worked as an assembler for about a year - was a friendly person and a valued employee.
"She was really a very easy to get along with person," said Mike Gandy, human resources manager. "I suppose everybody has a bad day at work when they don't want to be there, but it seemed like every day was a good day for her."
Rushing said Standefer apparently moved to Pampa a couple of years ago from Florida and had little or no family in the area.
Employees said it only seemed natural that her best friend and closest connection to the area - Jenkins - was with Standefer at the time of the blast.
"Her and Merry, it wasn't too hard to see the two of them together," Gandy said. "They came to work together, in the same vehicle, spent all day together and left laughing at the end of the day together."

It has been noted that historically, future generations of "Arminians" departed from the orthodox view of the Trinity, falling into the Unitarian heresy. The same sad state of affairs happened to many Presbyterian (i.e. Calvinistic) congregations during the eighteenth century. Therefore, it is puzzling how Arminianism is solely charged with inevitably leading one to a Unitarian understanding of God.
Monthly Archives For June 2010
Jacob Arminius: Disputant to Open Theism
Vincent of Lerins (early fifth century Christian writer in southern France) said that orthodoxy is "that which has been believed everywhere, always, by all."1 What has been the orthodox view of the Church on the matter of God's knowledge? Exactly what does God know, and is there any limitation to that knowledge? How does God know what He knows? Can He foreknow future free will decisions? And, what did Arminius believe on the foreknowledge of God?
The Influence of Arminianism in England
The following is part of Geoffrey F. Nuttall's address presented at the Arminius Symposium in Holland, August 1960: "The Influence of Arminianism in England."
I am inclined to begin by recounting two recent incidents which together may serve as an interesting pointer. Among the papers required for a higher degree in one of the English universities is an essay with three or four alternative subjects, and one of these subjects a few years ago, I remember, was: "Since Wesley, we are all Arminians."
One of the alternatives that year was an invitation to discuss the dictum, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" ~ so we need not assume that the assertion that Arminianism is now universally accepted was regarded as indisputable! It is interesting, nonetheless, that the assertion could be made.
Friday Files: Who is Episcopius
Hello. I know our Friday Files have been lax for a couple of weeks. Because of this, I wanted to take the time to mention what the Friday Files is all about.
Our purpose is to provide resources for better understanding Arminianism. Because our primary objective is resources, and not our own thoughts or opinions, we primarily highlight the individual work of our members, and point to their sites.
The purpose of Friday Files is to highlight articles and blog entries from the archives here that we believe would be beneficial for you guys to look at.
This week, we are looking at Episcopius, who was an essential actor in the initial rise of that particular articulation of the truth: Arminianism. This blog entry gives a good brief run down on who he is. Those who are interested in the history of this debate may want to bookmark this piece:

Thoughts on Original Sin
Bob Hamilton, Copyright 2000
The traditional view of "original sin" includes two related ideas:
John Piper on the Relationship between God's Sovereignty and Tragedy
John Piper was asked by Cathy Grossman, from USA Today, what he would tell the children who lost their parents on 9/11. She understood Piper to be suggesting that a victim should concentrate on the greater opportunities that God had granted to the children now, instead of focusing on their past loss. Piper responded that he did not suggest that scenario. Instead, he offered the following:
Jack Cottrell on "Whether God Has Free Will If He Can't Sin And What This Means For Human Free Will"
Taken from http://arminiantoday.blogspot.com/2010/06/jack-cottrell-on-free-will.html
QUESTION: Many (usually Arminians) argue that without free will in a significant (libertarian) sense, i.e., the ability to choose between good and evil, human actions would not be worthy of praise or blame. Thus in order to preserve moral responsibility, human beings must have free will in the libertarian sense—the freedom of opposite moral choice. But is this consistent with the freedom of God Himself, whom we assume to be the ultimate model for freedom? The following are said to be true of God:
1. God is surely the freest being in the universe. He is free to do whatever he pleases (Psalm 115:3), and all his choices are surely praiseworthy.
Open Theism: An Arminian Pentecostal Response
The following article by James H. Railey gives a brief critique of Open Theism and supports the traditional Arminian position that God foreknows all future events, including the free choices of His creatures.: Railey. Open…
The Historical Orthodoxy of Arminianism (Part Two)
It has been noted by some Calvinists that Calvinism was the dominant theological position of the Church throughout its history. For example, Calvinist Loraine Boettner writes:
- The great majority of the creeds of historic Christendom have set forth the doctrines of Election, Predestination, and final Perseverance, as will readily be seen by any one who will make even a cursory study of the subject. On the other hand Arminianism existed for centuries only as a heresy on the outskirts of true religion, and in fact it was not championed by an organized Christian church until the year 1784, at which time it was incorporated into the system of doctrine of the Methodist Church in England.1
The Historical Orthodoxy of Arminianism (Part One)
Arminianism was condemned at the Synod of Dort (1618-19). And what of it? A group of supralapsarian Calvinists joined theological and political forces, calling on foreign political allies, to ruin the reputation, ministry, and systematic theology of some theologians who disagreed with their doctrines on soteriology. And this local phenomenon is supposed to carry weight in thwarting Arminianism? History itself is a witness to the sham of an operation under which the Calvinists instigated the hearings of the Synod of Dort.1
Verses All Arminians Should Know
This list was compiled about a year ago by many members of The Society of Evangelical Arminians. I was asked to put it into blog form, and have finally sat down and gotten it done.
I hope for this to be a useful resource for any Arminian needing good scriptural texts that display his or her view. It should be cautioned that proof texting is far too easy for anyone to do, and with any of these verses the context should be considered. Far too often, context is ignored and erroneous interpretations are formed. So, use these verses, but corroborate their contexts. We strove to carefully consider the contexts and, in our minds, these verses and explanations faithfully represent the author's intent, showing Arminianism to have strong Biblical support.
Also, if you see any verses that you think should be added, comment on the post and let me know.
Verses that show election is conditional:
James White says He could have Chosen Otherwise
I had previously listened to James White's refutation of Molinism on the dividing line, but I just had a chance to listen to the full presentation on youtube. For the most part, it's the same information, with one exception that caught my attention. In the dividing line presentation, James White argued that Molininism conflicts with mans' freewill. However, the youtube clip (around 35 min. in) James White claims Calvinism provides greater freedom than Molinism; that Molinism makes man robots and Calvinism does not.
A cell phone goes off right in the middle of Dr. White's speech. He makes a joke about it, then asks if he had to make that joke and claims he could have chosen not to. He then argues that in Molinism, such an ability is a problem.
Corporate and Individual Election
Corporate election is the idea that election is primarily about a group and secondarily about individuals. It's most clearly seen in the OT concept of Israel and the NT concept of the church. Philip Limborch addressed the objection that corporate election rules out individual election:
In the first place it is objected that the predestination we have defined, is not that of persons, but of faith; since faith is thereby predestined as a condition of salvation. Answer. He who elected faith as a condition to be performed by men if they would attain eternal life, has truly elected men under that condition, and in His decree has an immediate regard to people. Therefore these two things, viz., the person and his qualification, are never to be separated, but are always to be joined together. (Philip Limborch, A Complete System or Body of Divinity, both Practical and Speculative. P 344-345)
Scripture paints a manifold view of election:
Bavinck on supra/infra-lapsarian predestination
I recently read Herman Bavinck on supralapsarian and infralapsarian predestination. (link) Bavinck's approach is intriguing. He argues that both the supralapsarian and infralapsarian systems have their strengths and weaknesses, so he cherry-picks the strengths and discards the weaknesses as he presents his own unsystematized views on the subject of predestination. To be clear, he is not saying that he is unable to systematize predestination, but rather that the topic cannot be systematized.

Call of Duty 2
The last game we are going to look at today is Call of Duty 2. even though it is based on Quake 3 engine, it looks very up-to-date and moreover, has very strict system requirements. Although, this has mostly to do with the graphics subsystem, of course. For some reason, the game developers freed the CPU of its usual routine tasks: the enemies behavior models are managed by scripts and not by the game AI, besides the physics is not calculated as thoroughly as in many other contemporary shooters. The results are obvious: the gaming performance in Call of Duty 2 is primarily limited by the graphics card and hardly depends on the CPU power.
Our tests prove this statement with all certainty. We carried out the tests in 1024x768 with disabled full-screen anti-aliasing and medium level of detail.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the overall fps rate is quite average in this game in general. As we see, it is not the slow processors that we should blame for that, as the processors performance doesn't scale down that much in Call of Duty 2. The game must be very demanding on the graphics subsystem. Therefore, the processors do not have that much influence on the fps rate as in other games we have already discussed.
However, we can still observe certain tendencies. First of all, I would like to stress pretty good results of the Pentium 4 processors in Call of Duty 2. We can actually state that they are running on equal terms with Athlon 64. And this is a true wonder for the gaming applications. Pentium 4 3.8GHz CPU appears faster than Athlon 64 4000+ and Athlon 64 3800+, yielding only to Athlon 64 FX solutions.
The second surprise is good dual-core architecture support. Just like in Quake 4, Athlon 64 X2 and Pentium D outperform single-core CPUs working at the same clock speed. The additional core in Athlon 64 X2 allows them to catch up with the single-core K8 processors working at about 200MHz higher clock speed. If we try to make the same analogy for the Pentium D processor, the "cost of the second core" will get as high as additional 600MHz.
Here I would like to stress that Pentium Extreme Edition 840 performs pretty weakly in Call of Duty 2, as well as in Quake 4. Each physical core of this CPU consists of two virtual cores managed by the Hyper-Threading technology, however, the processor is still defeated by the dual-core Pentium D 840 with no virtual cores at all. The modified Quake 3 and Doom III gaming engines seem to be optimized for multi-threaded calculations performing them in two parallel streams. However, the task manager cannot distribute these streams to actual physical cores of the Pentium Extreme Edition 840. These streams seem to be sent to the virtual cores, which are evidently considerably slower.

- Arizona Veg IPM: insecticide use, lettuce drop, pigweed and the lysimeter
- Management considerations for lettuce drop
- Pigweed
- What is a lysimeter?
- Pyrethroids, applied as foliar sprays and chemigations, are consistently the most commonly used insecticide class in desert head lettuce;
- Pigweeds are easily identified by physical characteristics but one species of pigweed can hybridize with another and become less distinguishable;
- A lysimeter is a device to measure the amount of evapotranspiration - the sum of evaporation and plant transpiration.

2010-2011 insecticide usage in head lettuce
By John Palumbo, UA Research Scientist and Extension Specialist
Results from the recent Lettuce Insect Losses Workshop reveal some interesting trends in insecticide usage on desert head lettuce. Data was summarized from pest control advisers (PCAs) and grower surveys completed over the past seven years.
When compared by class of chemistry using the IRAC mode of action classification system, the pyrethroids, applied as foliar sprays and chemigations, have consistently been the most commonly used insecticide class by far. Over the past few years the usage has been declining, but only slightly.
The spinosyns (Radiant and Success) are the second most commonly used class of insecticides, where the usage increased this season compared.
In contrast, estimates of diamide usage (Coragen, Voliam Xpress, Vetica) showed that PCAs used almost 20 percent less of these products in 2010 and 2011.
Not surprising, Ketoenol usage (Movento) was up about 40 percent compared to 2010 and neonicotinoid usage remained about the same.
The usage of the broadly toxic, old chemistry (organophosphates /carbamate/endosulfan) on head lettuce acreage continued to decline in 2010 and 2011; relative to the newer, selective reduced-risk products which overall increased considerably this season.
The most commonly used insecticides in fall and spring lettuce also correspond to the key pests that typically occur throughout the season.

Who is Kick butt? Anyway how am I andy's clone? I got hurt the most and I didn't roll the one. Also have you ever wondered what happens when you roll a 1 with magic spell to hit them. I think this is what happens. On a nearby planet of peaceful beings they are trying to reach Tenne to tell them the secret of life. *Cue your planet destroying magic attack here* You can piece it together.
Sword chucks are impossible anyway. (intil I get enough armor and get better at using them) Now four swords is what I want to use. Four swords you say, this is how I will hold them. I will throw 2 in the air then attack with 2 then throw those 2 in the air and get the other 2.
And would me rolling a 1 chop off my arm or something. In fact anything other than 20 should chop of my legs.
