Chicago Literary Night with City Lit Books
Join us i the Brewers' Lounge as we team up again with our neighbor City Lit Books on Tuesday, January 15 to present you with a Chicago Literary Night. You'll be treated to readings from three remarkable Chicago authors, Kathryn Born, Joseph G. Peterson, and Raymond Richard. Whether as a vibrant backdrop or an unforgettable character, each author uses Chicago as a rich and compelling part of their storytelling.
The Blue Kind
by Kathryn Born
The Book: Drugs and drug culture are a big factor as this mind-bender of a novel unfolds and the narrator Alison finds herself to be female collateral, a chain in the link to the next drug deal. A cosmic blend of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and William S. Burroughs' The Soft Machine, first novelist Born creates what Booklist calls "a strikingly atmospheric, suspenseful, imaginative, and compassionate novel."
The Author: Born and raised in Chicago, Kathryn Born is a writer, artist and filmmaker. She founded Chicago Art Magazine in 2009, along with other publications about technology and film. She is co-editor of The Essential New Art Examiner (NIU Press, 2011.)
Inside the Whale: A Novel in Verse
by Joseph G. Peterson
The Book: "Written entirely in verse, Peterson's second book (after Beautiful Piece) follows Irishman Jim O'Connor, an aspiring poet and successful alcoholic, as he moves disastrously through life in modern Chicago. In addition to Peterson's narrative, plenty of Jim's 'actual' poems appear throughout, facilitating an effortless shifting between third and first person accounts of the drunken bard's exploits. "
---Publisher's Weekly
The Author: Joseph G. Peterson is the author of Beautiful Piece, a critically acclaimed novel. His new novel, Wanted: Elevator Man, was published by Switchgrass Books in 2012.
Book of Raymond: A Journey from Prison to Praise and Poetry
by Raymond Richard
The Book: Raymond Richard has been to the big-house, lived in poverty on the streets of Chicago, and took to crime and drugs to survive. His poetry is electrifying, terrifying, and awe-inspiring. It literally crackles off the page. He has put his life back together against almost insurmountable odds. He's back to tell his story in poems that are honest, heartbreaking and tender.
The Author: Raymond Richard lives in Chicago and he has devoted his life to helping men and women put their lives back together after incarceration. He has founded Returning Citizens, a nonprofit organization that empowers former prisoners though job training, literature, and the power of the spoken word.

How To Find The Best Free Image/Photo/Graphics Downloads For Your Blog Posts
Posted on January 12th, 2009 at 8:39 am by Michael VanDeMar under apprentice, blogthropology, coding, Google, how-to, SEO, tutorial, web design
Adding images to your blog posts can make them much more visually appealing to your readers. This in turn can increase the likelihood that someone will link to that post or subscribe to your feed, which will of course in the long run help to improve your rankings and traffic. The internet is chock full of images, many of which will fit perfectly with that blog post or article that you are writing. The problem is, however, finding images that are both high quality and that you are actually allowed to use.
The Problems
Two internet no-no's that beginner web publishers often perform, many times without even realizing that they are doing anything wrong, are image theft and image hotlinking. The bottom line is that most images on the Internet are in fact copyrighted, and therefore cannot be used without the original author's explicit permission (assuming, of course, that the original author is still in fact the copyright holder). Just because you find a picture posted on a public forum or on a newsgroup does not mean that the person who posted it had the right to post it, and if they did not then republishing it on your own site makes you just as guilty of copyright infringement as they are. While 9 times out of 10 you might get away with it, using someone else's copyrighted material can lead to troubles (and time wasted dealing with those troubles) in the form of a DMCA Takedown Notice. In extreme circumstances, depending on your host and the degree of the infringement, this can even lead to the interruption of your hosting account.
Hotlinking an image is a little less of a cut and dried issue as far as whether or not it actually violates copyright laws. As far as I know the matter simply has not been tested in court, and legal opinions concerning it can vary. What is generally agreed upon regarding it is that it is impolite at best (regardless of arguments about how cheap bandwidth is). Additionally, you do run the risk of whoever you are hotlinking the image from simply switching it out for a different image if the request shows your site as the referrer (check out John McCain's MySpace Page "Enhanced" for a classic example of this).
The Solutions
Luckily, however, there are plenty of images available out there that you can use, as long as you know how to find them. You can use any images that are within the Public Domain freely, and with a few easily followed terms many photographers and artists offer their images available under the Creative Commons license. Also, there are a few Free Stock Photo sites out there as well that offer a nice selection of images that can be used in blogs posts.
Finding Public Domain Images
Public Domain refers to any work that is not copyrighted or work on which the copyright has expired. Instead of worrying about how to try and find formerly copyrighted images where the copyright has expired, I am going to focus on how to locate ones that were never copyrighted in the first place. In the US, works that are authored by the federal government are not copyrighted, and therefore fall into the Public Domain. It is important to note that the distinction is works that were authored by them, and not all works that are owned by them. If a private individual creates the work, and then sells or transfers the copyright to the government, the work is still copyrighted. Also, some specific images might have use restrictions on them. A good example of this is the NASA logos… the general permission to use all images found on the NASA site does not extend to the logos. Specifically, none of the three logos may be used "by persons who are not NASA employees or on products (including Web pages) that are not NASA sponsored." All others are pretty much fair game.
Now that we know where these images are that we can use, we need to figure out how to search through them and find the ones we want. There are a couple of useful methods for doing this. One of the easiest ways is simply going to Google Images, and performing a "site:{somegovtsite.gov}" search, plus whatever keyword you are looking for. Which federal government site you choose will most likely be based on what types of images you are trying to hunt down. For instance, if you need to find a good wildlife picture, then the US Forest Service at www.fs.fed.us is probably a good place to start. So, if for instance you need a deer picture, you would go to Google Images and type in:
[site:fs.fed.us +deer] (note that dropping the "www" from the "site:" search enables you to pick up any subdomains as well)
While not all of the images are exactly what we are looking for, we can see that some nice matches do come up on the front page:
If you notice results that appear to be from sites other than ones owned by US government (such as Blogspot or Myspace), don't worry… those are people who are using hotlinked images on their own pages. The images themselves are still hosted on the government websites. Some good examples of federal government sites that are rich in images, along with the number of images returned for each by using the "site:" command without a keyword in Google Images, are:
- NASA (nasa.gov) – 1,020,000 image results
- The Whitehouse (whitehouse.gov) – 116,000 image results
- Library of Congress (loc.gov) – 186,000 image results
- Government Printing Office (gpo.gov) – 8,370 image results
- Department of Education (ed.gov) – 23,400 image results
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (noaa.gov) – 317,000 image results
- Department of Energy (energy.gov) – 22,100 image results
- Environmental Protection Agency (epa.gov) – 65,000 image results
- US Forest Service (fs.fed.us) – 122,000 image results
- Federal Aviation Administration (faa.gov) – 9,720 image results
- US Army (army.mil) – 304,000 images results
Using parenthesis and the OR operator, you can also search multiple government sites at once, like so:
[airplane +(site:army.mil OR site:nasa.gov OR site:site:faa.gov)]
Which in the above example will search the US Army, NASA, and the Federal Aviation Administration websites for images matching the keyword [airplane] all at the same time.
Another option for searching the federal stockpile of images is to use the image search functionality on the USASearch.gov website. While you don't have the luxury of being able to restrict your search to specific sites, you do have the added ease of being able to search all of the federal government sites at once, along with certain archives that might not be indexed by Google.
Finding Creative Commons Images
The Creative Commons is a set of free licenses that allow artists to share their work, while still retaining some of their rights. For bloggers, usually the images they will be most interested in are those that are licensed under straight Attribution. That means that you are free to share or modify the images as you need, even for commercial purposes, as long as you attribute the original work of the author in the manner they specify. This is usually done simply via a link back to the original image.
Google has an option on their Advanced Search to only search documents that are released under Creative Commons license. However, for some reason they don't offer the same option under the Google Images search. Even if you search for a keyword and restrict the results to only show Creative Commons results in Web Search first, and then click on the Images link, the url parameter that tells Google that you want to restrict the search results is dropped. Luckily though, adding the parameter in manually does in fact work. I created a small tool on Bad Neighborhood that allows you to enter a search term in, and it will open up a Google Images search with the parameter that restricts the results to only show images released under Creative Commons here:
Creative Commons Google Image Search Assistant
Most of the results that you will see with this search will either be from Flickr and Picasa Web, since those images appear to be the ones that Google has the easiest time identifying the licensing on.
Unless you uncheck the checkbox at the bottom of the last paragraph on the page, you will notice that 2 windows open at the same time when you use that tool. This is because Flickr also has it's own integrated Creative Commons search, on it's Advanced Search page, but since the link to that page doesn't show unless you perform a regular search first, many people won't realize that it is an option. This tool includes a search on Flickr as well by default, without you having to go to the Advanced Search page first.
If you want to perform just the Flickr search, you can go there, and click on the search button. The link to the Advanced Search will then appear just to the right of the search box:
Once there, scroll down to the last set of options, and you will see 3 checkboxes that you can use to search only for content that you are allowed to use under the Creative Commons:
Once you find a picture that you think fits, you can verify that it is indeed released under Creative Commons by looking for the CC logo in the right hand column:
Just remember to attribute the author of any original work that you use.
Finding Free Stock Images
Lastly, there are of course the Free Stock Photo sites that most people are aware of. Last year Donna Fontenot wrote a post about her Favorite 10 Free Stock Photo Download Sites. Out of those, I picked my favorite 7, and built a tool using the same "site:" search plus OR operator method I described above:
Bad Neighborhood Free Image Meta Search
Simply enter your keywords into the box and hit Search. A new Google Images window will open up, allowing you to simultaneously search all 7 sites as once for images matching your keywords. While the selection may not be quite as great as going to each site one by one and using their built in search functionality, it can be much, much quicker to find a graphic that fits your needs this way.
Happy Image Hunting. 🙂

This is a very disappointing post. There are tons of talented hobbyist photographers on Flickr. The best way to find GREAT cc photos is to go to the groups you see in Flickr, find a group that takes pictures of what you want, and use them and then attribute them. Here's the cool part–if your post is about their subject area, they might just have found a blog they want to read–yours.
Michael VanDeMar Says:
January 14th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Michele, while that may be a "fun" way to do things, that is a far cry from the best way to do so. Just to be sure I went and tried your method. For one, the keyword search for finding Groups is not near as effective as the one for finding individual photos, and for another you cannot restrict a Groups search to only Creative Commons images. When I tried, every single photo I found that was halfway decent was Copyrighted, All Rights Reserved.
Reusing someone's photos by attribution is only allowed if the photos are specifically released under the Creative Commons, which by default they are not. Most, much like the bulk of your photos on Flickr, are fully copyrighted, not released under the Creative Commons, and cannot be used simply by linking back to them.
Do you have an example of a blog where you actually used this method by any chance?

Good post with lots of useful information! However, having worked for a small travel website and constantly looking for appropriate photos for 3 years now I must say that for me it is much more effective to search stock photo websites and pay 1 to 3 Dollar or Euro per photo (!) instead of searching for free images. I did search for free images in the first months but found it very time consuming with rather disappointing results. Networks like Flickr are full with bad holiday pictures, often poorly tagged or described. And the Creative Commons license has so many varying versions which requires a close look at what is required if you wanna use a certain picture on your website. Stock photo websites, on the other hand, have some kind of quality control and they use a standard agreement for both photographers and users. So whatever picture you find and like on their sites you know you are on the safe side and can use it on your website. (Some restrictions apply for pictures which show people or artwork.) Prices depend on the image size you choose, but for blogs the small size for about 1 to 3 Doller or Euro per image is fine most of the times. The stock photo sites I use are: http://www.istockphoto.com, http://www.dreamstime.com, http://www.stockxpert.com and http://www.fotolia.com.

Great post, and great discussion — thanks.
One tip for on the Google search — if you use "+(site:.gov)" you'll get all government sites. Your method is better if you want to narrow things down, of course.

When a photographer shoots images for the Feds, it is not generally available for free use unless specifically released. When a federal employee shoots images outside of work scope,even a staff photographer, they may appear on federal websites but are still protected unless specifically released. In fact, it is near impossible to know if an image on a .gov is available for use, unless it says so.
Final thought – the Feds are immune for prosecution for infringement, and they know it. So if you find an image used on a federal site, it may have been used illegally, but no one complained. If you then use it, you are not immune, and may draw complaints.
Given that courts have granted judgements for commercial use of copyrighted images (no trial, no opportunity to argue) I consider it pretty risky to re-use images simply because they are published by federal websites.

- Oct. 21 Crop Progress: Corn crop less than half harvested, soybean harvest closing in on average pace
- Soybeans
More About:
It's been a few weeks since the last USDA Crop Progress report, but despite the lack of reports, corn and soybean harvest has progressed and farmers have been busy in the field. The overall corn crop is nearly 40% harvested and 60% of the corn is in good/excellent condition. Sixty-three percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, and 57% of the crop is in good/excellent condition.
Thirty-nine percent of the corn crop has been harvested as of Oct. 21, 14 points behind the five-year average. Last year at this time, 85% of the corn crop had been harvested. Several of the major corn-producing states are less than 50% harvested, including: Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Wisconsin. North Carolina has nearly completed its corn harvest.
The corn condition has improved over the last time a report was released, increasing 5 points in the good/excellent category to 60% good/excellent. Fourteen percent of the overall crop is in very poor/poor condition. It should be noted that the state of Tennessee has no corn in very poor condition, and 90% of its corn is in good/excellent condition.

Buyers baulk at online shopping tax on overseas purchases
- From: The Courier-Mail
- November 06, 2012
ONLINE shoppers are angry they could be forced to pay tax on goods bought from overseas websites but retailers say it will help revive their struggling industry.
Under recommendations in the Federal Government's goods and services tax review, the suggested changes could result in Australian online shoppers being hit with GST costs when buying goods from international websites.
Online shopper Patricia Tanks, 43, said she regularly shopped online for "convenience".
"There are some things that you can't buy here and there's not as much variety as overseas," she said.
"I don't buy online because it's cheaper, I do it because it's convenient, I'm a mother of three children."
Shoppers don't pay GST on goods bought for less than $1000 on overseas internet purchases.
Shopper Estelle Oliveri said the introduction of GST on goods bought overseas wouldn't put her off buying from international websites.
"I wouldn't be happy about it," she said.
"If I desperately wanted it, I would buy it regardless."
A 2011 review found if the tax-free threshold on internet goods were lowered from $1000 to $100, it would cost about $500 million for the Federal Government to implement and has been deemed far too expensive to do.
But Australian Retailers Association executive director Russell Zimmerman said changes needed to be made.
"It needs to be a level playing field, retailers that are retailing online in Australia have to pay the GST as do bricks and mortar retailers," he said.
"Where those products are coming in from overseas, that's where it's hurting the Australian retailer."
Mr Zimmerman said GST charges on overseas goods would help improve the nation's unemployment levels and boost the economy.
"The industry employs something in the area of 1.2 million people, so from that perspective the consumers are supporting the jobs," he said.
"We are protecting some of those jobs for our kids and grandkids and ensuring the retail industry can survive."
New figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics yesterday showed retail spending rose 0.5 per cent in September.
CommSec economist Savanth Sebastian said if the tax threshold was lowered for overseas online sales, it would be a good result for the Australian economy.
"It makes the environment more competitive and fair across local retailers as well as the online retailers and that's a good outcome," he said. "Yes it means more money into the Government's coffers, but that money can certainly be used in other parts of the economy."
Treasurer Wayne Swan yesterday told radio the Government was not considering changing the GST because it would hit struggling Australians hard.
Retail magnate Gerry Harvey, who has been a strong advocate in introducing a tax on overseas goods, said he did not want to speak on the issue.
He said he was attacked after fighting for changes to be made in 2010.

A West Toledo hair salon was robbed Wednesday night, police said.
A man walked into the salon, ABP Beauty Care, 3812 W. Alexis Ave., just before 9 p.m., and demanded cash from a stylist and a teenage customer.
The stylist told the suspect she had no money, but the suspect started going through drawers and then took a wallet from the client, 17, police said.
The man took $8 from the girl's wallet and then took a metal box from the salon, which had about $100 inside, according to a Toledo police report.
It's unclear if the suspect had a weapon.
Police describe the man as white, in his 40s, about 6 feet, 180 pounds, with salt-and-pepper hair and brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a green button-up short-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and black work boots. Police said the man is "unshaven."

Let's take a quick look at how the Chicago Bulls earned an impressive 93-89 win over the Utah Jazz on Friday night at Energy Solutions Arena. How it happened: After struggling to find a rhythm throughout the game, Carlos Boozer scored 11 straight in the fourth quarter and finished with 19 points as the Bulls grinded out a win they wanted badly. Nate Robinson added 18 points and nine assists and played 46 minutes on the night. Al Jefferson had a huge night for the Jazz, scoring 32 points and pulling down 13 rebounds, but it wasn't enough in the end.

Most Over Rated Missing iPhone Feature
Curious as to what everyone thinks is the most over rated missing iPhone feature?
For me it is copy and paste... Yes I said it. Seriously I understand how at times someone may use it but I've always had it on WM phones and never really used it. Have it on my Bold now - never use it. So for all the people complaining about it, I wonder how often they use it... hmm
Ok, I'm not done... MMS also. MMS is horrid. Inter-carrier transmission of these things is just awful. The carriers themselves don't even handle the routing of these messages. They hire a 3rd party company out. That's why when you call to complain your buddies are not getting pictures you send or vice versa - the polite customer service people tell you it's your friends service, not yours... they are clueless because they can't do a thing about it. So here is what would happen. iPhone would get it... then you send pictures to a friend with Verizon - they don't get it and then the complaining about pictures not be delivered at all or 6 hours later starts on the forums... I can see it now.
Rant off...
Feel free to vote for more than one thing.

I agree with you on both (even though I did not keep the 3G for now, I may return in June ). I have personally used C&P once in the past two years. And why, oh why, people scream so much about MMS I will never understand. If I really have a need to send a pict to someone off my phone, I email it.

I think they are all over rated, but I picked copy and paste.
In order of least importance...
Copy and Paste
Most of what you need it for is taken care of in other ways by the iPhone. Would it be nice to have, yes, isn't it important to have right now, NO!
MMS is complete crap and hopefully in 10 years will be a distant memory as everyone will have moved on to smart phones with push email.
Turn by Turn would be "neat", but not that important. If you can't follow written direction or a dot on a map you need a lot more help than turn by turn.
MMS all the way. I have no need for it and am getting my Mom and iPhone so she stops sending me MMS. I set it up for her to email it to me, but she just can't get it right.

Well, copy and paste is available if you are jailbroken and although I have it installed, I used it ONCE. I also don't understand all the fuss about MMS. Do you really wanna pay a dollar for every photo sent?
Turn-by-turn, on the other hand, would be very useful. I can see myself using it on weekly basis, but I am happy with the current GPS performance right now.

I voted for MMS. I can't tell you how many times I've sent an MMS to someone on another carrier only to have them get it 3+ hours after the fact, whereas if I email them a photo, it's there right away. With more and more people getting smartphones, email is the way to go. A lot of people say lack of MMS on the iPhone is a dealbreaker, but in all honesty you don't need it.

I went with copy and paste. I have only been in about 2 situations where I wished I had it.
I agree that email is better than MMS, BUT there is still a HUGE (majority) of people who don't have email capabilities on their phone. I only have a handful of friends who have email on their phone (the ones who have an iPhone). The inconvenience of the "alternative" is annoying and nearly impossible to keep up with. Not to mention, some people get LOTS of email coming in every hour and don't necessarily instantly check it the moment a new one comes in. They are probably more likely to immediately see a MMS.

I was going to say MMS, but I said turn by turn directions, simply because I don't feel that it is a missing feature. Maybe it is just me, but I still view turn by turn as an extra, not as something that should automatically be included. Maybe it is from years of using TomTom as an extra of my PDA and Treo.

I am going to be switching over from a BB 8800 with no data... I am pretty much sure that there will be very little I will be complaining about.
In terms of the C/P situation... I do use it now and then on my BB when people ask me for someones number.
MMS? My old phone doesnt take pictures... How could I complain?
Hahah, I do like to look at the glass as half full!
But seriously, I am counting down the days till I get my 3G...

Cut and Paste all the way! I had a Treo 700P and a 755P. I kept D2G up to date with all the latest versions as soon as they came out.
Not once did I use Cut/Paste! I did not use D2G all that much. If I ever had to manipulate Docs I would always wait until I got back to my Laptop. But that was just me.

iPhone: on the web, find an article I think BadAsh will enjoy, hit the + button, hit mail link, tap in his address, send.
On cut/copy/paste phones during Round Robin: on the web, find article I think BadAsh will enjoy, curse crappy browser rendering of article, try to figure out what combo of trackball, touchscreen, stylus, and menu/keyboard buttons invoke cut and paste, fiddle to select URL, exit browser, hunt around for email, wait for send/receive to finish, choose new email, fiddle to paste url in body, add email address, send.
Apple tried something different with the iPhone. It doesn't always work the way cut/copy paste would, but in certain situations, it's much more elegant.

I went with C&P, from my previous phones I rarely used it, and i cannot recall a time when it was absoultely essential because i was copying a complicated web address or something, and not just out of lazyiness.
I think you guys in the states must get a really REALLY raw deal with MMS, If it was handled better, and was reliable, I don't think you'd hate it so much. Different in the UK, it's now pretty reliable. I have no complaints with it.

I would have to say MMS for sure. I can't even count how many cell phones I went through in the 4 years before I got my iPhone. But I can count exactly how many MMS message I sent in that time; zero. They charge even more for those things than SMS (which I use a lot). And it's a total waste of money since MMS is just email the carriers run.
The iPhone is actually the first phone that I've sent pics on, using email since it's free and easy. I don't do it very often but I do get quite a few sent to me now, I prefer getting them in email because then I can also get the pic onto my computer much easier.
TBH the other features are also not all that important to me. I don't have much need for copy/paste as I'm not really a user to gets something that I need to send to someone else. My car has a GPS unit already built into the dash, I have no issues with Google Maps.

I am using AT&T service and have been waiting for some time for the SwirlyMMS app to work with AT&T with no issues. But recently I started using my email to send and receive pics. The only hassle is you first have to ask all contacts what service they are using and the pics don't come in instantly since you are using email.
I live in an area where 3G is not available. Cell service and texting work just fine. But if I want to check my email or get on the internet I am pretty much screwed unless I am at home or work where I have WiFi access.
I know MMS is overated for most people but it would be nice to instantly receive or send a photo like some of the bottom line camera phones!

In order of annoyance...
MMS, A2DP support, and copy/paste.
Although, I've never had much of a use for copy/paste, I would use it in rare situations if I had it. But I would never, ever, under any circumstances want to send an MMS, or listen to music with wireless earphones... even if I live to be 1,000 years-old.

The only times i have wanted C&P was pasting a URL into an RSS reader. If the iPhone handled RSS feeds natively (button on safari window) then i wouldn't have needed it at all. Still, clippy is quite good and does everything you would want from it. If Apple was posititoning the iPhone as a true smartphone (sync and edit desktop docs) then we would have to have had C&P. It wasn't so we don't.
Turn by turn? Come on, its a phone, not a sat nav.

4 Tips to Stay Tobacco Free
July 11, 2012
Quitters always win – when it comes to quitting tobacco, that is. So if you have recently quit – we congratulate you! Quitting smoking is beneficial at any age, and you should already be seeing some of the positive effects of quitting1. But staying tobacco free can be a challenge, especially during the first few weeks when physical and mental cravings are at their peak. The following four tips can help keep you on the path to a healthier life.
- Know your "triggers."
Certain locations, situations, and people may cause you to crave nicotine. Be aware of what makes you to want to use tobacco products – create a list of your own potential triggers. Once you understand what your triggers are, you can do your best to avoid them. Take a new route to work, trade your morning cup of joe in for a fruit smoothie, take a walk instead of a smoke break—and don't forget to ask your friends and family members for their support.
- Fight cravings.
Cravings will happen, but you can fight them! Some tips to ease cravings are:
- Keep items on hand that can replace your cigarette. These items might include sunflower seeds, sugar-free gum, celery, raisins, or toothpicks.
- Relax by breathing deeply, and thinking of something peaceful.
- Change your scenery. Go outside, inside or to a different room to distract yourself.
- Remind yourself how hard you worked to quit and focus on the reasons why you did.
- Stay positive.
Quitting tobacco is hard, but you can do it. Just take it one day at a time. If you make a mistake, don't be discouraged. More than half of all adults who ever smoked have quit1. So can you.
- Reward yourself.
Think about all the money you are saving by not using tobacco! Pack-a-day smokers who quit save about $2,000 a year1. That's enough money to take a nice vacation or put a down payment on a new car! Find out how much money you are saving by quitting with Smokefree.gov's savings calculator and reward yourself with something you really want—and deserve.

As the days of Just Say No and Cartoon All Stars: To The Rescue fade further from our collective consciousness, the US is reaching a tipping point regarding marijuana prohibition. With states finally taking matters into their own hands, President Obama said recently that now is the time to have a "serious national conversation" about the popular drug.
Okay, Mr. President, let's converse: the federal government should stop implementing draconian pot laws and let states decide.
Marijuana use for recreational, medicinal, and spiritual purposes dates back to the glorious yester-years of the Bronze Age, about 3000 BC. The cannabis plant itself – or "ganjika" as the O.G. ancient Hindus of Nepal called it – has an even more impressive resume: Chinese civilizations first cultivated hemp to make fibre over 12,000 years ago. For the better part of history, the possession, cultivation, and sale of cannabis enjoyed widespread participation (seriously — Shakespeare was into it) and few legal sanctions.
It wasn't until 1860 (AD) that the US began regulating the sale of cannabis and its derivatives. Originally decided by localities and states, marijuana prohibition quickly expanded to the national level: first as a tax, and later under the Controlled Substance Act of 1970. Today, cannabis remains a Schedule 1 drug: simple possession is punishable by a $1,000 fine and up to one year in prison.
Since the seventies, states have become increasingly resistant to federal prohibition: 18 states and Washington, D.C legalized medical marijuana for residents, and 14 states decriminalized possession for small amounts of weed. In 2012, historic initiatives in Colorado and Washington ushered in the first state laws regulating the cultivation and sale of marijuana for recreational use.
While 50 percent of Americans support legalization, the federal government is taking the opposite approach to US marijuana laws: going full-on narc. Despite releasing a statement in 2008 claiming he "supports the rights of states and local governments to make this choice," ex-stoner Obama showed little to that effect during his first term. In the ultimate buzzkill, states with legally operating marijuana dispensaries saw the most aggressive raids ever under the current administration.
On Feb. 11, US drug czar Gil Kerlikowske cemented the collective come-down, telling a Canadian newspaper that the Drug Enforcement Agency intends to aggressively pursue pot distributors, even in states that voted to legalize marijuana. In a botched comparison to alcohol, Kerlikowske explained that, "Making drugs available without any sanction would only lead to more abuse."
The availability argument is one that prohibition proponents love: increased access means increased use, especially among susceptible young folk. But several studies refute that claim, including a 2010 adolescent survey by the International Journal of Drug Policy that found, "Marijuana use rates did not differ across countries … Based on these findings, the case for strict laws and policies is considerably weaker for marijuana than for alcohol."
There are a lot of problems with the federal prohibition of marijuana. US consumer's insatiable appetite for pot enables a black market that fuels violent crime, money laundering, and human trafficking. Meanwhile, prosecutions within the US disproportionately affect minority and poor communities, and rack up costs amounting to $7.7 billion a year.
The case for marijuana is growing increasingly loud. The medical uses for cannabanoid are extensive, including treatment for cancer and ADHD. And financially speaking, legalizing marijuana is hypothetically a bipartisan lovechild – generating new tax revenue while cutting back on unnecessary expenses.
But such a logical approach must be intimidating to the federal government, which invested the better part of last century in stigmatizing marijuana as a gateway to drug abuse. And although the last three US presidents all admitted to smoking dope (and two of them even admitted to inhaling,) the political conversation remains one-sided from the executive seat.
Using marijuana is a personal choice. But there is an inherent hypocrisy in politicians winking to constituents about a drug-filled past, then condemning the practice in a legal framework. Because the real conversation we should be having — as Obama so aptly demonstrated with his youthful "mistakes" — is about the blatant truth: marijuana is here to stay.
So turn on "Mary Jane's Last Dance," channel Jeff Spicolli, and tune in for the prohibition fight of the century. It's poised to be one helluva time.

Send a Girl to Camp
Girls grow up at camp. They sing. Laugh. Make new friends. Gain confidence. Try new things. And, you can help provide that experience through a partial or full camp scholarship for a girl with a financial need who otherwise would not be able to attend.
According to a recent Girl Scout Research Institute study, 72% of girls improved a skill while at camp. And, girls also develop environmental stewardship through outdoor experiences. Girl scouts are twice as likely to say that they take actions to protect the environment and camping is the most memorable outdoor activity for Girl Scouts (in the study). We think that's pretty cool.
Send a girl to camp today and help her connect with nature and change her world.

'…the most sincere pumpkin patch…'
Do not let the opportunity to sit before "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (1966) pass, this October or any other. So thoroughly evocative of its own private universe that once it's implanted in our cortices it stands little chance of being evicted, the modest TV cartoon remains one of the great masterpieces of American television, a waist-high autumnal idyll like no other, and as evocative of a preteen universe – a place where Halloween has epochal significances, if it's always difficult to figure out exactly what they are – as any film made in English. Of course, it's in our genes, relentlessly rerun in October for 30 years now, but look at it again: it's a lyric, a Frostian ode to the omens of fall, the fire of the imaginative furnace, the awkward tribal brutalities of children, the yearning for a cosmic justice in a landscape where social tension leaves unhealable scars.
What is the legend of the Great Pumpkin if not an answer to the preadolescent rule of might is right, a cry in the wilderness against "hypocrisy," for "sincerity," and in the name of all things unlikely and visionary and hopeful. Linus Van Pelt is the John the Baptist here, a square peg kid in a round-headed world, poignantly compelled to follow his private star, howling against the mundane greeds of America (candy!) and holding out, alone in the night, for something better, something grander and more winged, a pagan god of his own invention. Charlie Brown's tribulations are standard-issue social nightmares, lost as he is in a world where though his contemporaries insult him to his face, unglimpsed grown-ups actually throw rocks in his trick-or-treat bag instead of candy. But Linus's defiant stand has the markings of a grade-school Galileo, an apostate for whom the weedy lots of Middle American suburbia is the desert of the Old Testament, whipped by winds and glowering under a black-eyed sky.
It's not a parable of faith-vs.-greed so much as a paradigm of unorthodoxy; Linus is the hero Arthur Rimbaud and Johnny Rotten wanted to be. And, in the end, he is unrepentant. Heroic.
Still, the cartoon's greatest single passage, and arguably the most mysterious and magical sequence ever animated for TV, is Snoopy's vivid journey through the night battlefields and barbed-wire trenches of WWI, a flight of brain energy making concrete for us finally what we knew as children, and what the single-minded Linus is too rebellious to realize: play is realer than real, and can set us free.

Stray Shot Sends Berry's Gilbert to Surgery
During my time as an SID, as a lacrosse writer and an official, I've had some close calls when it comes to getting drilled by shots and errant passes. I've had balls come so close to my head on several occasions where it raised the hair on my neck.
There but for the grace of God go I.
Berry head coach Curtis Gilbert wasn't so lucky this past weekend. Helping his team warm up prior to an important Southern Athletic Association home game with Centre on Saturday, Gilbert had just shagged balls on the endline and was standing about five feet up from goal line extended and about 15 feet wide of the cage. As he was about to signal for the guys to start shooting again, a shot came directly at him.
"One of the kids just started shooting ahead of everybody else and I kind of turned at the wrong time – really the right time, because it would have hit me in the back of the head – and it caught me in the right cheek. It just dropped me," Gilbert said from his home on Tuesday.
"It shattered a bunch of bones," he continued. "I'm in surgery Friday to have a couple of plates put in. I'm lucky it didn't catch me a couple of inches higher and hit me in the eye. That would have really done some damage."
Gilbert must wait until Friday to see how complicated his operation is going to be. Because the ball also shattered Gilbert's nose, the doctors will have to see whether they can fit a breathing tube down his nose for the procedure. If they can't, it means Gilbert must get a tracheotomy, where the breathing tube is inserted in his throat. If it's the latter, the coach could be in the hospital over the weekend and perhaps longer.
As with most lacrosse coaches, Gilbert only had one concern after he was struck.
"If it was up to me, I would have stayed and coached the game," Gilbert said. "That's the only thing that was in my mind. The trainers kind of forced me to get out of there and go to the ER and miss the game, which was unfortunate."
Gilbert won't be able to make the Vikings' trip to Rhodes and Hendrix this weekend for a pair of conference games because of the surgery, and he sounds truly heartbroken about not being with his team. He has, however, set his return date.
"We have a pretty important conference game coming up against Sewanee (on April 5)," Gilbert said. "We played them in the championship game last year. I've already spoken with them about being cleared for traveling and getting back on the sidelines, but it all depends on how the surgery goes and how I'm feeling. Ideally, I'd like be out there today blowing the whistle and running the drills and maybe letting someone else do the yelling. The plan is to be back in action next week."
Anyone who has been around lacrosse fields knows the inherent danger of a dense ball moving at great speeds. Gilbert certainly did.
"It wasn't like I was behind the cage," he said. "I've been coaching for a while, so I know how to play head's up and I've had my share of close calls, for sure. This was just a freak accident. Maybe it just hooked wrong."
Do me a favor this weekend: keep your head on a swivel, especially during shoot-arounds, and keep Curtis Gilbert in your thoughts during his operation.

The "ALPHA" button gives alphabetic variables. I'm not clear on you saying "in red" because caculators by different manufacturers, and sometimes different models by the same manufacturer, will be set up differently. On the TI-89, for example, on the upper right of many keys, from "=" on the upper left to "." on the lower right, in a gray color are the letters A through w (but not including t- X, Y, Z, and T have separate keys because they are commonly used with specific meanings in formulas). That allows you to name variables in formulas.
For example, if, again on the TI-89, you enter "3" "STO" "alpha" "=", the number "3" will be stored in a memory location labeled "a". If you enter "2" "STO" "alpha" "(" (which has a small "B" above it) , the number "2" will be stored in a memory location labeled "b". If you now enter "alpha" "=" "+" "alpha" ")" "ENTER" (which is the same as "a+ b Enter") you will see "5" on th screen.
If all else fails, read the users manual!

Long flight: what snacks are allowed in carry-on?

I've got a 15-hour non-stop international flight in two weeks. As we all know, snacks are a part of our life while trying to gain or maintain a recent gain. So I'm taking food on the plane, but I don't want to break any rules.
Anyone know if everything has to be in its original store-bought package? My usual snacks are protein bars (packaged), nuts (could buy whole new packs for trip) and dried fruits (could buy new packs). I guess I could check the airline website, too. Also would appreciate additional ideas of what to eat.
Thanks. SSkirt

Things like your protein bars should be no problem. As for nuts and dried fruit I think they should fine if you had them in a little container, its really liquids they are concerned about so unfortunately that rules out anything like a yogurt.
You could also try making yourself up something like a peanut butter sandwich to take. On my last flight it was only a short one 4 hours but meant Id be missing breakfast so the night before I made up a batch of pancakes and took those with me along with some soft cheese wedges to spread on top.
You could also take little bags of museli and snack on it as it is.
Sorry I couldnt be of more help, airlines can be quite odd about what you can/cant take now adays so probably best to actually just check with them first.

I'd avoid bringing peanut butter, just on the off chance that someone sitting near you is allergic.
Fiber cereal is good. How about a trail mix (you made). Do you have kids? If you do you can bring liquid (juice just don't open it till you are at the x-ray) They will have you open it wave a special paper over it then test the paper.
They allowed all snacks (even in sandwich bags) The security guy laughed at me and asked if I was feeding the whole plane with what I packed (3kids + 2 planes + 6 hours = lots of choices)
Don't bring strong smelling foods. Garlic,tuna,etc.
Have a safe flight, remember to wiggle to prevent swelling and flip-flops are your friend as are ugg (type) boots.
Edited to add - You are tring to gain? you have so many options just keep to sodium in check

taking stuff on the plane isn't usually the problem, but taking it into the country you are going to might be the problem if you don't eat it on the flight. (for example fresh fruit, meat etc are not allowed into some countries)
I would also support the not taking strong smelling foods, and don't take things like citrus fruit, which stink when you peel them (and the smell of them does give some people migraines)
We've traveled on long international flights. Besides the advice above re no liquids or fresh produce of any kind I'd add medications. If you take medications you are really supposed to have them in their original, from the pharmacy containers. Because I take a large number of maintenance medications using 90 day prescriptions I took the receipts which listed the medications in addition to the normal containers I used to take them at the right time.
We also used to re-package nuts and trail mix into little snack bags, along with cereals. I also like to either carry an empty water bottle thru security and re-fill it on the other side or buy a bottle of water on the other side. Need to avoid de-hydration on long flights. Lastly remember to get up and walk around a bit, stretch if you can. I used to do a modified sun salutation in the galley area on flights from LAX to Singapore.

Kate Moss Stars in A Weird New Internet Lingerie Movie
It's for Agent Provacateur's new ad campaign for their first bridal line. Highlights include Kate in a white lacey babydoll and a naked harpist.
Kate Moss stars in the new Agent Provacteur campaign for its bridal line and it's a doozy. First we've got six — yes, six — internet movies, each of which correspond to print ads shot by Nick Knight. Each movie and ad are meant to depict "the demise of a bride's 'big day' and serialize the unraveling of the religious organization behind it." The jokes write themselves here, don't they? You can see the print ads here. The themes represented include "The Happiest Day of Her Life," "The Garden of Eden," "Bad News," "Frenzy," "Revenge," and "Let Them Eat Kate."
Now, if you're still following along, the first movie to go with the ads is up at SHOWstudio.com, and is called, yup, "White Wedding." Here's how SHOWstudio describes it:
From [Agent Provacateur founder] Joe Corré's screenplay directions that the heroine bride — Kate Moss — should appear "romantic, pink and full of hope" on the eve of her 'White Wedding', Nick Knight's first campaign image of six addresses all the classic elements of a kitsch boudoir scene: the powder-puff palette; the love heart vignette; the handheld mirror; a sweet butterfly hovering over virgin flesh. Meanwhile the accompanying film employs the help of a naked harpist to push the footage in more poetic direction.
We'd describe it as grainy slow motion shots of Kate Moss posing in a white lacey babydoll within a weird, rocking heart frame, but to each her own. Each day through Wednesday, May 7 we get a new one of these suckers. Oy, this really is the most complicated ad campaign ever.

The Python DevCenter is a portal for anyone interested in the Python language. Python is an object-oriented scripting language. It is free, portable, powerful, and easy to use and learn. If you want to learn programming, Python is the best place to start. Python's simplicity makes it easier for you to understand, its power means you won't easily outgrow it, its portability means you can use it just about everywhere.
In October of 1996, O'Reilly & Associates, strongly encouraged by managing editor Frank Willison, published Programming Python by Mark Lutz. My first experience with Python was reviewing the drafts for the book and trying out the example programs. I loved the simplicity of the language. Like many others more experienced with Perl and C, I occasionally cursed its pickiness about white space. But freedom from all those braces and increased readablity made it worth it. I grew to love it. Being a journalist and editor doesn't give you much opportunity to play with programming though. That is why I jumped at the opportunity to become the Python Bureau Chief. That makes it my job to play with programming and to keep on top of Python developments and report them to you. I get to find Python authors, edit Python articles, attend Python conferences, and for me, that's fun! I haven't had this much fun with programming in years.
My goals for the Python DevCenter are to:
I want you to have fun here too. I am including links to some great online resources. You can find them organized by topic to the left of this article. Every other week we will publish original content. You can meet the authors, talk with other python developers, or leave your comments in the oreillynet.python news forum. Finally, we have all the great features of the O'Reilly Network, focused search engines, Meerkat, FAQs, and the latest news at your fingertips.
If there's anything you want to see in this developer's center, let me know. Leave me a message in the news forum.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(124)
Sony and Media Molecule continue to bring in additional franchises under the LittleBigPlanet umbrella and the latest is Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog. Entrepid LittleBigPlanet fans have been creating Sonic the Hedgehog-centric levels since the game's release, but as of next Thursday, there will actually be an official set of Sonic-themed characters and stickers to download and incorporate into your creations.
The character lineup includes, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Dr. Robotnik and, erm, the Werehog. Sorry about that last one, but there's nothing I can do about it. We must live with the Werehog.
No word on a specific price point, but the characters will be made available individually. To gain access to the sticker pack, however, you'll have to purchase them all at the same time.
Have something to share? Sitting on a news tip? E-mail me. You can also follow me on Twitter.

Paula, good running at the Waltz. You finished just after me. Give it another mile and I reckon you would have caught me!
I used to do that every year until you changed the date. I've never been back since due to clashes and inconvenience (Sunday's never a good day with work the next day). It's a shame because I always enjoyed it so much, especially the tipple at the naughty corner.
Thanks for getting the list started, T Rex. I think I was supposed to be down for the double as well.
I'd love to do that SNOD Trail Marathon. It looks to be 'right up my street'. If it wasn't only 5 days before the Lakeland 100 my name would be on the list. (Sadly it would probably provide a more appropriate build-up to UTMB as well.)
Last night I put my name on the list for the Three Peaks Fell Race now that it doesn't clash with The Fellsman for the first time in a long time. Fingers crossed that they let me in. They have quirky entry requirements, one of which is completion of a road marathon in under 3:20. Dream on, why don't you?
Oh dear DE. That's putting me off.

Economic Development
When the term "economic development" is mentioned, the first thing the first thing that likely comes to mind for many is some type of a business or manufacturing company that will employ dozens of people. Hino Motors' operation in Williamstown certainly is a fine example of that type of economic development.
However, if people think developer Mike Miller's announcement this week of his plans to build a new retirement community is not economic development, they are mistaken.
Miller discussed his plans for Lakeside Landing Retirement Community, a self-contained retirement community, during a meeting Tuesday at Grand Pointe Conference Center in Vienna. The development, which would be the first of its kind in West Virginia, will be built on 300 acres he owns just off the Staunton Avenue exit of Interstate 77. The initial phase of the operation will cost between $28 million and $35 million to complete and will include 100 independent living apartments, 60 assisted living units, three restaurants and several other amenities for residents.
Miller, who owns Ohio Valley Health Care, is showing a vast degree of confidence in Wood County's future. He has owned this property for 10 years. With the economy the way it's been the past several years, he could have sold this land. However, this project has been a dream of his and he has decided this is the right time for this dream to become a reality. With the U.S. population aging, many of the baby boomers retiring with sizable disposable incomes are looking for something such as this in which to spend their retirement years.
Miller said ground will not be broken until he and developers have 70 clients signed on, but we believe that will come sooner rather than later. This project will not only bring employment to Wood County, it will bring spin-off businesses to the community as well.
This development is good news, and we wish Miller and the others involved in this project the best of luck.

Moralistically, my character couldn't justify returning an idol that may have made the "god" even stronger than he already was. He also didn't believe Zot was really a god...I mean what god hangs out in a volcano for centuries and won't even go looking for his missing idol?
|Erevis Cale
My PCs fought Zotzilaha and if I recall correctly they defeated him with no casualties.

My group harboured no notion of starting a fight with the aspect. However, once they knew that they could take some of the treasure, some of the players started contemplating stealing some extras. At that point, the other half of the group is like "Are you crazy? He will see it! More to the point, we're in a freaking volcanoe and he's the one that is making it shake like an eel in a bunghole." I couldn't believe that the group actually split in half arguing whether or not they should steal from the aspect. It was an entertaining night for me, :)
Ultimately, common sense stayed greed at hand and they exited the volcanoe with their lives intact. Pity, I did want to see some mayhem by the aspect, ;) If only to teach them respect for the gods, :)

Special screening Thursday, October 17 at 7:00
The film runs 84 minutes
DISLECKSIA: THE MOVIE is an engaging documentary that weaves vintage classroom footage, celebrity interviews and the comedic touch of dyslexic director Harvey Hubbell V into an engrossingly entertaining film on a serious subject. In the first film to discuss dyslexia as a learning difference, not a learning disability, Hubbell rallies a team of celebrated neuroscientists, heroic educators, high profile celebrities and business leaders with dyslexia who are advocates of Harvey's belief that dyslexia is a learning DIFFERENCE. The subjects of the film showcase the most up-to-date information and in doing so, a blueprint emerges on how best to manage this learning difference that more than 67 million people cope with daily. The film includes a wide range of successful individuals with dyslexia including entertainment industry celebrities such as Billy Bob Thornton, Joe Pantoliano, and Stephen J. Cannell; business moguls such as real estate guru Barbara Corcoran and celebrated neuroscientists and top educators within the dyslexia field.

News Story:TVA officials working to keep up with extra water
Subject: TVA officials working to keep up with extra water
Cite: WBIR Website
Link: http://www.wbir.com/news/article/194...th-extra-water
This is going to be a long winter for tailwater fisherman at the rate things have been going...guess I'll be hitting the mountains more despite the cold temperatures. Better to be out on a stream than not fishing at all...:biggrin:
BTW; I drifted the Clinch last Saturday from the 61 Bridge to Clinton City Park Ramp-don't ask me why; basically because of logistics and time constraints. The water was flowing pretty hard and I did not even see a fish; much less catch one. I am sure most of the fish were holding steady at the bottom or hugging the banks to conserve energy and to be efficient feeders. I saw tons of trash, a few gnats, one sunk boat, a child's 4 wheeler, and some beavers foraging on the bank. It was nice to get out on the water and in the sunshine. But, the fishing sure stank.
Were you fishing much or mostly just floating? Try any streamers? :cool:
I was able to hit the clinch yesterday around noon. I was fishing from the bank, (shawn and rod, im sure you know where) the fishing was very good! Jeremy caught the smallest fish, it was around 12-13". The rest were slots.
You guys must be synchronized to be fishing there as a group.:smile: Glad you are able to get out and fish. I think they are sluicing right now(?).
Looks like they will start spilling tomorrow!:eek:
Predicted Data
Day Average Inflow* Midnight Elevation* Average Outflow*
12/09/2011 24,135 1,009.60 12,700
12/10/2011 14,133 1,009.46 16,200
12/11/2011 9,348 1,009.01 16,200
*Elevations are in feet above sea level. Flows are in cubic feet per second.
Great! just in time for the weekend..... im thinking about traveling a little next weekend. maybe hitting up south holston or caney fork.
I just transferred from TVA nuke engineering to River Ops. Been going to all the generators the past few weeks. It's been crazy to see them all spilling. Amazing stuff.
It's been tough not to throw my rod in the back of the car every work day though. LOL

MPK9 All Breed Dog Training..........AWESOME !!!!
by Carol R. , 03/16/2011
I can't say enough about the training my dog received. My Rott was out of control and I thought I would have to give him away. I called MPK9 Dog Training and I was so happy that they come to my home to train. Gregory ( trainer ) was so knowledgeable about the breed and what we could do to handle him better.
