Police say a body found in an area a few miles from where 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway went missing is "not intact" and that it will take authorities one more day to make a positive identification.
Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso declined to elaborate, but says the search for Jessica continues.
Update at 2:21 p.m. ET: Police say it has been difficult to identify the body found in an area of abandoned mines near Arvada because it is "not intact."
Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso says it will take authorities one more day to make a positive identification.
Update at 8:49 a.m. ET: Police said Thursday that they were not providing any new information on the body found Wednesday evening.
They declined to identify the body. They said that the canvassing of the area in search of missing 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway would continue, and that new spaces in the search would be opened up.
Police have not released the gender or approximate age of the body.
Original post: Police searching in Colorado for missing 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway have discovered a body in an area of abandoned mines, but have not indicated whether there is a connection with the fifth-grader who has been missing since she left home for school Friday, KUSA-TV reports.
The body was removed from Pattridge Park in Arvada, an area used on the weekends by road bikers and model airplane flyers.
It is about 7 miles southwest of Jessica's home in Westminster and several miles south of where Jessica's backpack was found in Superior, KUSA reports.
On Wednesday evening, Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso said, "We are unable to make a connection to the disappearance of Jessica Ridgeway," The Denver Post reports.
Jessica, a blond-haired girl who wears glasses, was last seen Friday morning as she left home on a short walk to school. Police said they believe she was abducted.
Police are now investigating whether Jessica's case might be related to that of an 11-year-old girl who was lured into an SUV in Cody, Wyo., by a man who released her four hours later. She was found by hunters, the Associated Press reports.
Cody is about 500 miles northwest of Westminster.

All About Z-Palettes, Depotting & How to Get Shadows to Stick!

- SheerBeauty (Kayla) said...
Great post! I was wondering could I request a post on how to apply cream shadows the right way. I recently purchased Mac Paint Pots Indianwood and I use it as a primer but I also want to know how to apply cream shadows the right way like what brush is best ect, because I plan on buying more.

Z Palettes now come with metal stickers so you don't have to go through this process. They offer the metal to magnet strong hold and now they come with the palette for the same price. Check it out zpalette.com.

Hi! I think z-palettes are a waste of money when you can get MUFE palettes for only $10....and it's waaay bigger.
You have to order it through the phone [call a MUFE store...not sure if they sell them at sephora] and they shipped mine for free! I think you can also order it online...but I haven't check yet.
It's magnetized, so you don't need get extra magnet stickers, unless your shadow pots aren't metal.

I love my Z Palettes! It's more than $10 but so worth having the clear window and fun colors to choose from. It's also magnetic but comes with metal stickers for the non-metal pans.

@sashagreen thanks for the info
! i just saw them. i noticed they were $5 for 30 round ones which is super convenient especially if you're doing round shadows. my method is for those who want to save $2 and be able to custom cut the metal sheet...plus you get two sheets in a pack!

I used the exact same metal from hobby lobby with my z palette and it didn't work :(

Manufacturers Oppose Minimum Wage Increase
Raising the state's minimum wage $1.50 isn't the only way to help low-income workers.
On Wednesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed raising minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.75 in his State of the State speech. The Democratic governor says New Yorkers at the low end of the income ladder should earn more. The increase would be a 17 percent hike.
However, local manufacturing leaders said there are other ways. Even though the proposed increase wouldn't affect the businesses The Post-Journal talked to – they start their employees at a greater pay rate than $8.75 – company officials said it isn't the only course of action.
Jim Garde, Bush Industries chief executive officer, said the best way to help is to create more jobs.
"We've got to build a more economic-friendly environment to create new jobs," he said. "There is nothing better in raising wages than adding more jobs. The thing holding down wages more than anything else is there aren't many jobs out there."
Garde suggested to state lawmakers they should look to reform workers compensation and do away with useless regulations that only increase the cost of business.
"Look at those things and fix those and I think that will have more of an impact on wages than anything else (Gov. Cuomo) can do," he said.
Herman Ruhlman, Rand Machine Products president, said instead of raising minimum wage, reduce the length of unemployment. He said instead of allowing skilled workers to be on unemployment for 99 weeks, get them motivated to work by dropping the length to 26.
"The problem is the government is paying more than what I can pay them," he said. "These people with skills don't want to come to work, and I don't blame them, but it is wrong. People won't go to work until their unemployment runs out. We've had several people we wanted to hire, but they're making more on unemployment than by coming to work for us."
Ruhlman said he doesn't know how to help low-income workers, but thinks it is a bad idea to raise minimum wage.
"I don't know the solution. I know what they (government) are doing isn't it," he said.
Michael Calimeri, Artone Manufacturing president, said one way to help people making less revenue is to reduce taxes.
"Now the Social Security tax has jumped 2 percent. So the guy making $300 a week has to pay more for that," he said. "If we could give tax breaks to some of the individuals making minimum wage, that would be a greater help."
Andy Johnson, TitanX human resources director, said reducing regulations and taxes will attract more businesses to move and stay in New York.
"It is common knowledge that this is not a business-friendly state," he said. "So if there were more jobs, than there is more competition which will drive wages up.'
Unshackle Upstate and the National Federation of Independent Business are both opposed to a minimum wage increase. Unshackle Upstate is a non-partisan, pro-taxpayer, pro-economic growth, education and advocacy coalition made up of business and trade organizations from all parts of Upstate New York. Unshackle Upstate officials said businesses across the state that are already struggling to compete and create jobs will be further impacted by a minimum wage increase. New York already has the worst business tax climates in the nation and increasing the minimum wage at this time would only make it more toxic.
The NFIB is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization founded in 1943 and represents the consensus views of its members in Washington, D.C, and all 50 state capitals. Mike Durant, NFIB state director, said "The NFIB remains staunchly opposed to any and all efforts to increase the minimum wage and we are disappointed that the governor used his address to make that a priority."

On Friday, June 1, Chemeketa's administrative negotiation team and the faculty's negotiation team reached a tentative agreement during faculty contract negotiations.
Andrew Bone, Chemeketa's executive dean, said, "On Friday, we reached a tentative agreement. The agreement still needs to be ratified by the faculty's union and the Board of Education."
The faculty has not had a contract since Jan. 30 of last year; however, no bargaining took place during the summer.
"It's unusual for these to not be ratified," Bone said.
Mark Ferguson, a math instructor and a member of the Chemeketa faculty association, said, "It is really important, we believe, to students, faculty, and ultimately the entire college."
Negotiations had originally begun in February and March 2012. But after traditional bargaining transitioned into a more informal discussion-type bargaining, mediations went slowly.

Jimmy Carter hatred is alive in Iranian L.A.
President blamed for fall of the Shah
new documentary that follows Jimmy Carter on tour for his controversial book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," has reignited the longstanding animosity many Iranian Americans feel toward the former U.S. president.
The September release of a
The film, "Man From Plains", reveals the sharp criticism Carter faced from Jewish groups for comparing Israeli actions toward Palestinians to the oppression of South Africa's former apartheid regime.
Among Iranians -- whether Jews, Muslims, Christians or Zoroastrians, the majority of whom have been living in the United States for nearly 30 years -- Carter is still blamed for the fall of the pro-American regime of the late Shah of Iran. Many also hold Carter responsible for the loss of innocent lives and of the vast fortunes they were forced to leave behind after the 1979 overthrow of the Pahlavi government.
"I dislike Carter so much that I hate to have my name 'Jimmy' the same as his name," said Jimmy Delshad, an Iranian Jew and mayor of Beverly Hills.
"Not only did Carter cause problems for Jews and non-Jews who were forced out of Iran, but he changed the whole dynamic of the Middle East by his backing of Khomeini, and that has had a whole ripple effect in the Middle East, which America is still trying to recover from," Delshad said, referring to the Ayatollah Rouhollah Khomeini, who led the revolutionary, fundamentalist Islamic Republic.
The Carter film is just one in a series of recent events that have rekindled Iranian Americans' painful memories of Carter. In May, when Carter referred to the current Bush administration as "the worst in history," many Iranian Americans charged that that title actually belongs to Carter's administration.
"I think Jimmy Carter's integrity is questioned," said Dr. Solomon Meskin, an Iranian Jewish resident of Beverly Hills. "The fact that he doesn't even acknowledge the kind of things that are going on in the Arab world and Muslim countries, where people have their rights totally ignored, and he instead cites Israel for apartheid, is totally ridiculous."
Frank Nikbakht, director of the L.A.-based Committee for Minority Rights in Iran, said Iranian Americans are particularly angry at Carter and his National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, who encouraged the revolution in Iran because they believed an Islamic government in Iran would help encircle the former Soviet Union and decimate Iran's communists.
"During and following a regime such as the Shah's, which was so dependent on the U.S. and Britain, nothing like this -- the participation of the army and the Iranian secret police (SAVAK) in the handover -- could have happened without their approval," Nikbakht said.
In July 2003, when General Alexander Haig, NATO commander during the Carter Administration, gave a speech at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, he was the first U.S. official to publicly discuss Carter's complicity in toppling the Shah's regime. Haig indicated that he resigned his post at NATO after discovering the administration had turned its back on the Shah.
Further indications of Carter's activities in ousting the Shah were revealed in a 2004 article in "Nameh," a Persian-language magazine based in Iran that is now defunct. In an interview, Ibrahim Yazdi, a close confidant and former representative of Khomeini to Western nations, described extensive correspondence from Carter in 1978, prior to the revolution.
"These correspondences were going on long before the Shah left Iran, and Khomeini had promised Carter in a letter that he would not disturb the flow of oil from Iran if he came to power," Yazdi is quoted as saying. "Then Carter, in his last correspondence to Khomeini, said the Shah will be leaving soon and asked Khomeini to return to Iran. Carter believed Iran should have an Islamic government, and I agreed with him."
In her book "Modern Iran: Roots and Results of Revolution" (Yale University Press 2003), UCLA professor emeritus Nikki Keddie cites William H. Sullivan, U.S. ambassador to Iran, who said Brzezinski "repeatedly assured the Shah that the U.S. backed him fully," but Carter failed to follow up on those assurances. High-level officials in the State Department believed the revolution was unstoppable.
Keddie writes that Carter could not decide how to stabilize Iran and was against another coup; his failure to move quickly plunged the country into a fundamentalist Islamic regime.
Habib Levy's "A Comprehensive History of The Jews of Iran" (Mazda Publishers, 1999), describes how the unprecedented tolerance and prosperity Jews and other religious minorities in Iran experienced during the Pahlavi dynasty were lost after the revolution.
Although the majority of Iranian Americans have prospered in the United States since they continue to harbor ill will over their losses. Abraham Berookhim, a resident of Santa Monica, is one of many local Iranian Jews who said he holds Carter personally accountable for his family's devastation; Iran's radical Islamic regime confiscated not only his family's multimillion dollar hotel in Tehran, but also executed his uncle in 1980 as a "Zionist spy."
"In my opinion, Carter is the worst human being in the world," Berookhim said. "Carter saw how cruel Khomeini was to the people of Iran who were being killed for no reason, and he did nothing."
Delshad and other local Iranian Jews also say Carter fostered the atmosphere of hatred and discrimination they encountered after Americans in the U.S. Embassy in Iran were taken hostage by the Iranian regime in 1979.
"It was very hostile time for Persians living here. Everywhere I went, I was picked on," Delshad said. "I started wearing American flags on my lapel all the time to show that I was an American and to let people who met me [know] not to include me as part of those hostage-takers in Iran".
Nevertheless, a few Iranian Jewish leaders applaud Carter's immigration polices.
"Iranian Jews also remember the gentle side of President Carter's administration, which opened the doors to the migration of a large segment of our community to the United States," said Sam Kermanian, secretary general of the L.A.-based Iranian American Jewish Federation.
Others point out that that Carter is not the only one responsible for the ongoing situation in Iran. H. David Nahai, an Iranian Jewish attorney and president of Los Angeles' Department of Water and Power, said "We should also not forget that while the revolution took place during Carter, it became entrenched during Republican administrations."

This can't be right since the shader processors run at 2:1 ratio relative to GPU clock speed. If the stream processors are operating at 1400Mhz, the GPU speed would be 700 Mhz not 650.
When Nvidia Corp. unveiled its Fermi architecture first in September, 2009, the firm said that the top-of-the-range offering will include 512 stream processors. However, it released no actual products on the fully-fledged chip. On Wednesday a web-site published a picture of a graphics card that it claims to be powered by the code-named GF100 graphics chip with all 512 stream processors activated.
The graphics solution resembles the original GeForce GTX 480, which comes with 480 stream processors activated, but has tangibly improved power supply circuitry and consumes much more power as it is equipped with two PCIe 8-pin power connectors (together with PCIe x16 slot they can provide up to 375W of power). Based on the image published by Expreview web-site, the board also looks slightly longer than the predecessor, possibly because of higher power consumption and greater heat dissipation.
Nvidia GeForce GTX graphics card. Image by Expreview web-site.
The board carries a chip marked as "4", twelve GDDR5 memory chips and a regular set of connectors, including two dual-link DVI, one HDMI, two MIO ports for 4-way SLI multi-GPU operation support and so on. Considering that all the formal marks of the chip are blurred, just like the revision of the graphics processing unit (GPU) on a screenshot from GPU-Z software, there are some chances that Nvidia plans to use a new revision of the GF100 graphics chip.
Based on the screenshot from GPU-Z program, the board has clock-speeds similar to those of the original GeForce GTX 480: 650MHz for the graphics chip, 1400MHz for stream processors and 3700MHz for 1536MB of GDDR5 memory. The card surprisingly carries the same Device ID as the original GeForce GTX 480 and the software indicated March 26, 2010, release date. Usually, different graphics boards carry different Device IDs, based on which programs like GPU-Z determine the amount of stream processors and other peculiarities. Performance of the board obtained using an Intel Core i7-920-based system (3.80GHz) along with Futuremark 3DMark Vantage also cause more questions than answers since the board only achieves P23904 points, whereas a similar system without overclocked CPU with GeForce GTX 480 gets P21427 points with older drivers.
Even though Nvidia said earlier this year that there were chances to release a graphics card with fully-functional GF100 GPU, the company has never set any dates or concrete plans for it. Provided that Nvidia will need a more powerful offering to compete against ATI's forthcoming Radeon HD 6000 graphics processors due in October or November, it is likely that the company will indeed try to bin certain amount of GF100 chips with 512 stream processors and sell them as limited edition products. The firm may also completely refresh the lineup by introducing GeForce GTX 485 and redesign the remaining high-end offerings.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

Skip to comments.Furloughed Texan Cruz supporters to America: Youve got to stand up
Posted on 10/05/2013 8:55:37 AM PDT by SoConPubbie
HOUSTON Thanks to Texas new senator, Dale Huls is out of a job at least for now. Yet Huls has never been prouder that he voted for him.
Without Ted Cruz this doesnt happen, said Huls, a NASA systems engineer who was among roughly 3,000 federal employees furloughed from Houstons Johnson Space Center after tea party Republicans triggered the partial government shutdown.
This is something Americans have to get used to, said Huls. Even if it affects your livelihood, youve got to stand up.
. . . . . .
The state is one of the richest beneficiaries of federal spending, with its sprawling military bases, Gulf Coast seaports, and nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico, which help account for more than 131,500 full-time federal employees. Only California, Virginia and the District of Columbia have more.
Yet Cruzs firebrand opposition to the nations new entitlement program the Affordable Care Act and his campaign to stop government growth at all costs were also born here, and resonate deeply with many conservatives. In Houston, home to thousands of federal workers and to Cruz himself, the shutdown has brought the love/hate relationship with government into plain view.
Huls said he doesnt believe his job is a waste of money: The public doesnt think much of federal workers these days, but were people with car payments just like everyone else.
Still, he said of Cruz, Hes fighting for what he believes in and Im taking a side.
. . . . . . .
It is not anyones patriotic duty to make Ted Cruz a household name, said Darby, a leader of the American Federation of Government Employees, who said hes at home looking at my two dogs instead of working because of furloughs.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
Gentlemen, I say ye Dan Huls. Hear, Hear!
An earlier thread if anyone is interested in reading the comments thereon:
Kudos toa news organization that will publish the other side to give balance.
There are many people like this guy being affected, furloughed, unpaid, etc (FReepers and others) who fully support the House holding the line. Not everyone connected to the govt is an ObeyMe thug.
God Bless Texas!
These people will be paid once this stand off ends...they always have and this will be no different. So all the hardships are not as dire as they would have us believe.
Anyone who had a gov. job knows how this works and knew this could very well happen, many were prepared for this..been and done it before. It's a paid vacation no matter how you look at it.
Wow. That is an opinion, not a fact. Right out of the gate they throw their crap.
It's so refreshing to see a politician on Capitol Hill whose number one priority ISN'T to stick it to the American people. Politicians like Cruz are hard to find.
I agree fed employees should not get back pay. I'm talking about all the other people out of work due to this mess , they certainly won't. But that doesn't mean they don't support the House.
only temporary furlough. not same as losing a job, its waiting for him as soon as he gets back in the gates.
Yes, NASA.gov is non-operational, too. I went to look up the time for the conjunction of Venus, Mercury, Saturn and the moon tomorrow night. Never mind.......I get the star chart from the Michigan State University. The planets will all be in the western sky around 1/2 hour after sunset, if you all want a look.
Is a government shutdown really a government shutdown when the government in question is providing all necessary public services? NO. The term ''shutdown'' is a propaganda device — a classic ''Big Lie'' — that is now being mercilessly wielded by the Democratic/MSM machine to try to convince people they're in a terrible crisis when they aren't.
Is a single Republican Senator, Ted Cruz, who isn't even in a leadership position, more responsible for keeping the so-called government shutdown in progress than the combined forces of the much more powerful president and Senate majority leader who adamantly refuse to negotiate an end to the impasse? NO. It's just more propaganda.
It took the villagers in the children's story only a short time to realize that the sky was NOT falling and that therefore Chicken Little was a fool for hysterically declaring that it was. Every minute the ''shutdown'' continues, more and more Americans will realize that nothing adverse is happening and that the hysterical Democrats and MSM reporters are fools for declaring that the shutdown is a crisis.
Time is on the Republicans' side. They must not cave in.
Why not?
The House just voted to pay them to be off work, the entire House GOP voted for that, a deal made with Obama and Reid
They hit the lottery.
Taxpayers working non-(GS) government jobs are suckers.
>>The House just voted to pay them to be off work, the entire House GOP voted for that, a deal made with Obama and Reid<<
Harry refused to bring it up for a vote. The Senate has adjourned until Monday.
Taxpayers are accomplices and enablers. Lifestyle trumps liberty.
The Associated Press ran this story? For real? Who got fired for putting this story out there?
Anyone posting here should be going to every "news" site with articles on Ted Cruz and posting a comment of support for this man who represents the tax payer and the TEA Party. The left, the parasites, and the criminals in big government fear Ted Cruz.
This might be part of the reason why DoD ended it's furlough. DoD employees tend to be more conservative than those in other agencies. Don't want them out there making mischief for the libs.
>> These people will be paid once this stand off ends...they always have and this will be no different. So all the hardships are not as dire as they would have us believe.
"Anyone posting here should be going to every news site with articles on Ted Cruz and posting a comment of support for this man who represents the tax payer and the TEA Party. The left, the parasites, and the criminals in big government fear Ted Cruz."
INDEED!!! Yesssss!!! FR is my launch pad. I find such coherent relevant discussion here and then I take it out to the lib sites and they hate it (which just tickles me pink). Everyone should make it a point to hit 10 lib sites a day, including the MSM. WE can't wait to react to the libs BS anymore. That privilege is over.
We must Take The Fight TO Them now! Cruz is leading the charge!!!!!
"...Thanks to Texas new senator, Dale Huls is out of a job ..."
Actually, it's thanks to Obastard and Harry Reid... but hey, why should a newspaper make any attempt to get it right...
Good to hear the guys isn't blaming Senator Cruz. He did the right thing.
If I was a gov. employee I'd have three months saved for times as these....it' goes with the job. These people knew ahead of time the gov. could shut down...they've done it many times before....just as with Gov. saying we should have preparation for surviving natural disasters...so too Gov. employees should be prepared.
Oh I can hear the excuses for not being prepared....from wages to having families and the costs of living. But taking a job with the gov. always means you will face this at some point. It's a "natural disaster job risk".
How will NASA now do all their urgent global warming studies that will save the planet from the global warming hoax. that Hansen creep at NASA was one of the main pushers of this global warming hoax. Also NASA did Muslim outreach. who still thinks government is accountable to the people? not me. gov is not accountable to anyone. they are the power. The IRS oppressed conservatives for 3 years and not one of those criminals as the IRS not even Obama nor Lois Lerner have been punished for those illegal crimes.Government is unaccountable and must be be abolished . it is an evil cancer that will destroy us and our freedom. The only thing the federal government should do is military , border control.
I agree, but we also need American industry.
We need to protect, and to grow, American jobs.
If I was "furloughed" and still getting back-paid — I would be supporting Ted Cruz also. Heck, all gubmint "workers" should be supporting this paid-vacation.
'Germany is all about manufacturing'... and why they are doing so much better than other European countries...they get it in how to put people to work....bring in the industries and let them rip!
As long as the regulations are so stiff and unrelenting in the USA they will not come here.
I love, love, love your quotes!!
I disagree.
The problem is, we are the country without a defensive trade policy.
China and Germany build up their industry.
We need to bring back American jobs. Now.
Not that easy as tweeking the trade policy.....
Yes they built up their industry...but not alone...there were many companies and American investors and investments along side them. Additionally a leadership who went out of their way to accomodate that.
Not so here in the USA....nor would there be with a Government bent on destroying and weakening our nation overall.
You're dreaming if you think this Gov. is about creating an environment for business and industry....who are in fact who creates the jobs. Gov. never does.
Further with all the Unions etc. constantly begging for higher wages we have long lost our best and brightest workforce to other nations as well...and there is a huge "leak" of those moving into other nation states for that. I don't blame them either.
MAny companies who close here offer their employees the opportunity to move to the country they're re-locating the business to. Today 'many' are actually going where at one time it would have never been considered.
The fact is I can't see the USA being much more than a service oriented country..as it is now.
Additionally...if Obamacaare goes thru you don't think business and what industry is here won't be hiring those coming in here from other nations ahead of those here? They get a Gov. subsidy for hiring them...plus they won't have to insure them.
Be prepared to loose your job if someone from another country is here with Gov. invitation.
which is why I have a "Miss me yet? " picture of Bush on my corkboard, as well as the Benghazi Martyrs...hee.hee.
I am convinced that 800 number for Obamcare that spell F-u was a conservative that chose the number to submit.HA!
Repeal zoning and planning regulations. Abolish impact fees. Stop NIMBY-ism, and real production will happen.
Some are just regular people who end up working for government because they need to support their families with whatever job they can find.
I hope all the conservatives who are furloughed will spend a bit of that extra free time posting, writing to their congresscritters, and doing anything else they can to ensure that the socialists (including RINOs) are thrown out.
Thank you to the Texans who are standing up for Cruz. Thank you to all patriotic Americans who are working hard to end this corrupt administration with its cheap political tricks, expensive taxes, deficit spending, and destructive policies.
That would be hilarious, if true!
Mr. Huls illustrates the difference in attitude, mind set and values between an engineer and, say, a social worker.
Well, when Cruz is right, by G-d is he right. Not much more needs to be said here.
And some of us work for the Government because we love what we do, and understand how it is important to the troops we support.
More refreshing: to see a politician more interested in doing the right thing than pandering for votes.
I'm a federal worker (DOT/FAA) who is still on the job but not getting paid as of Oct 1st. I wrote my congressman twice now asking him to fight the good fight and stand with Cruz.
Is it true that the nationwide phone number for Obamacare is 1-800-FUCKYO?
PARTLY TRUE - Technically, the 800-318-2596 phone number cannot correctly be rendered as 800-FUCKYO because that designation omits the essential '1' digit between the '3' and '8'
"Generally, dereliction of duty refers to failure through negligence or obstinacy to perform ones legal or moral duty to a reasonable expectation. In other words, it means willful or negligent failure to perform assigned duties or performing them in a culpably inefficient manner. Dereliction of duty is a specific offense in military law. " (Quote from USLegal.com).
Dereliction of duty is an Impeachable Offense, as stipulated in the US Constitution. Dereliction of duty is also a US Military offense subject to a Courts Martial.
Will our sorry Congressional RINOs do their usual kid gloves, "boys will be boys" approach to Obama's numerous violations of the US Constitution, or will they FINALLY draw up The Articles of Impeachment for B. Hussein Obama?
First, I already knew about the 1-800-F1UCKYO number combination, it's been posted on at least four threads to date.
Second, my comment was to the possibility of the creator of the number being a stealth conservative.
Third, you still use Snopes. Why?

Call Deadline: 26-Feb-2014
Meeting Description:
Recently, collaboration between the NLP community and specialists in various areas of the Humanities has become more efficient and
fruitful due to the common aim of exploring and preserving cultural heritage data. It is worth mentioning the efforts made during the
digitisation campaigns in the last years and within a series of initiatives in the Digital Humanities, especially in making old manuscripts
available through Digital Libraries.
Given the number of contemporary languages and their historical variants, it is practically impossible to develop brand new language
resources and tools for processing older texts. Therefore, the real challenge is to adapt existing language resources and tools, as well as
to provide (where necessary) training material in the form of corpora or lexicons for a certain period of time in history.
Another issue regarding historical documents is their usage after they are stored in digital libraries. Historical documents are not only
browsed but together with adequate tools they may serve as basis for re-interpretation of historical facts, discovery of new connections,
causal relations between events etc. In order to be able to make such analysis, historical documents should be linked among
themselves, on the one hand, and with modern knowledge bases, on the other. Activities in the area of Linked Open Data (LOD) play a
major role in this respect.
A particular type of historical documents are the newspaper collections and archives. Newspapers reflect what is going on in society, and
constitute a rich data collection for many types of humanities research, ranging from history, political and social sciences to linguistics,
both synchronic and diachronic, and both national and cross-national. They represent an important resource for analysis of changes at all
levels which emerged in Europe with begin of the industrialization period.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working in the interdisciplinary domain of cultural heritage, specialists in natural
language and speech processing working with less-resourced languages as well as key players among Linked Open Data initiatives.
They are expected to analyse problems and brainstorm solutions in the automatic analysis of historical documents, uni- or multimedia,
their deep annotation and interlinking.
The workshop is organised in collaboration with CLARIN (
Final Call for Papers:
Extended submission deadline: February 26, 2014.
Topics of Interest:
We are looking for contributions on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the workshop, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Language tools and resources for the analysis of older textual material
- Adaptation of language technology tools developed for modern languages to their historical variants transcription and transliteration
problems and solutions
- Named Entity Recognition for historical texts
- Development of dedicated historical corpora and lexica as Linked Open Data
- (Semi-) automatic extraction of content related metadata
- Semantic linkage of heterogeneous data within digital libraries
- Linkage of historical documents with available Linked Open Data
- Word sense disambiguation in old texts
- Multilingual issues in historical texts
- Applications concerning less resourced cultural heritage languages such as Old Norse, early Arabic, Ottoman Turkish, Old Church
Slavonic, older forms of Balkan languages
A special track will be dedicated to the acquisition and analysis of historical newspaper archives. Submissions for this special track should
address topics related to following aspects:
- Determining if, for a given language and period, digital (or digitised) newspapers exist at all
- Access rights to digital newspaper collection for research purposes, and for publishing the results
- OCR solutions and limitations
- Extraction of articles from digitised archives
- Metadata annotation
- Showcases of successful humanities research projects based on digital or digitised newspapers
- Publishing, sharing and storing results and by-products
Submission Details:
Submissions should be made through the system of the main LREC conference. Papers describing completed work should be no longer
than eight pages. Papers describing work in progress should be between four and six pages. We encourage in particular the demonstration
of prototype systems, and papers including reference to an existing prototype will be offered the possibility to demonstrate their system in a
particular session.
Papers should respect the LREC formatting guidelines. Papers will be reviewed by minimum 3 members of the Programme Committee.
When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense,
i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your
research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.), to enable their reuse,
replicability of experiments, including evaluation ones.
Submissions for the workshop can be done using the following link:

Dramatic Arabic/Indian Inspired Eyes Tutorial
So I got up my video tutorial on the Arabic look I did a while ago. I don't usually read comments on my YouTube wall because I try to keep positive and not let the haters get me down but I happened to peruse them yesterday. I've changed the title of this video three times to make my viewers happy. You can't please everyone, lol.
This look was more of a creative expression of makeup as opposed to a wearable style. It's fun to push the boundaries sometimes and do something bold and unexpected. I'm glad that most of you guys can see and appreciate that :)
I'm shy of 20,000 subscribers on YouTube and I think i'm going to slow down with videos for a while. I'll still do them every week, maybe not twice a week on a deadline like I used to.
Enough rambling, check out my video!
The final look!
Here's What I Used (All MAC unless otherwise specified):
-NYX black jumbo pencil
-black, light pink e/s from Stars Makeup Haven 96 palette
-passionate e/s
-CRC brown gel liner
-L'oreal carbon liquid liner
-Smolder Eye Kohl
-Ardell 118's
-fascinating eye kohl
-shadester sculpting powder
-NARS sin blush
-refined msf
-regular foundation and concealer
-spice lip pencil
-Stila brown sugar lipglaze
-Stila vanilla lipglaze
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

Hey Ren, great look. I know what you mean about comments, some people can be very picky and focus on minor details just to bring you down. Just remove/block as needed and put up videos whenever >you< feel like it, don't feel pressured to put up videos for the benefit of other people if you're not in the mood. :)

Topic: jmaki_widget 'yahoo.dataTable' subscribe question
I am new to Rails development, and especially new to jmaki. I am modifying existing code, and would like to update the content of a yahoo.dataTable widget based on a set of radio buttons. It is difficult to find a template for this. My widget definition is:
<%= jmaki_widget 'yahoo.dataTable', :subscribe=> "/jmaki/table",
:value => {:columns => [
{ :label => 'PRIORITY', :id => 'rule_priority'},
{ :label => 'GERMPLASM TYPE', :id => 'germplasm_type'},
{ :actions => 'Actions', :id => 'Actions'}
:rows => @rows_data
and my button definition (on the same page) is:
<%= radio_button :allocation_rule, :rule_type, "INC" %>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Skip to comments.Does Your Water Need More Ions? The latest health fad is even more ridiculous than most health fads.
Posted on 03/23/2013 8:49:17 PM PDT by neverdem
After so many years of neglect, water appears ready to emerge as a cutting-edge health food. Perhaps it's the fault of Gatorade, that Technicolor concoction of salt, sugar, and water people guzzle to "replenish their electrolytes." The Gatorade inventors, some dweeby physiologists, were just trying to keep football players from collapsing in the Florida heat. They could not have foreseen what was to transpire in the decades ahead as the concept of the "sports drink" took hold, and then, more bizarrely yet, water itself became a symbol of health and status.
With each iteration, beginning with bottled waters derived from glaciers (tres European) to the recent "enhanced water," H2O has moved closer to the first-class cabin. But the latest version is a real head-scratcher: ionized, alkalinized water. Companies such as Chanson, Kangen, and many others are in the game to sell you a gizmo for $1,000 (or $2,000 or $3,000) to run your tap water through. The devices contain electrodes that purport to realign your water, split off some hydrogen atoms along the way, and rid it of various pesky problems so that it will taste better and be healthier and your arthritis will go away. In a week. Maybe two.
In every way, water, at least American water, is a strange target for an expensive course in self-improvement. The number of Americans sickened by tap water, leaving aside the flood-induced Milwaukee cryptosporidiosis outbreak of 1993, is minuscule. Top-notch municipal plumbing remains perhaps our greatest achievement. We confront many ubiquitous environmental risks daily, but water is not among them. It is safe and unobjectionable. Plus it's cheap—and yet...
(Excerpt) Read more at slate.com ...
Hardly a mere dweeb re: the Gatorade: more on Dr. J. Robert Cade, UF nephrologist et al.
Leave it to people to come up with a solution to a problem they don't have.
PT Barnum would be proud, and laughing his way to the bank of the inanity of things like bottled water and "Organic" food.
Does this mean the 'gluten fluten' thing in o-vah?
Go Gators!
Remember the machines that used to be sold that would charge the air in your home with negative ions?
Oh, you mean, like salt?
Btw, Slate, "ionized water" is not new.
Negative ions.... izzat like what guys do around the house?
Reminds me of this old stuff. Very interesting to read about:
I have a client that I used to meet with once a month during the dinner hour. Had to quit because we couldn't agree on a restaurant which had exactly the kind of food she thought she needed to survive. She will not eat anything that is not only organically grown but gluten, carbohydrate, fat, salt, sodium, sugar, and who knows what else free. Drank bottled water without ice cubes or lemon because she wasn't sure how/where the lemon had been grown, whether it had been properly washed and, of course, the ice cubes were probably made with water which wasn't filtered.
People like her just wear me out.
Thanks for the link.
Thanks for the link.
Reminds me of a friend who was buying the wonders of "Oxygenated Water" for the health effects of getting more oxygen into your body.
$12 bucks for 3 ounces. Sohhhhh Stoopit!
I told her she could buy club soda for $.50 cents and there's plenty of O2 in that.
Oh noes, Ionic Change!
I only drink what comes out of the tap or garden hose.
That's why I drink Brawndo. It has electrolytes.
As my dear Mother used to say, some people have too much time on their hands.
I never smoked, drank or did drugs. I was diagnosed with Stage Three Leukemia at age 52. I did Chemo, was in remission for a little over two years, then back to Chemo. My numbers are slipping again after four years, so we'll see.
My Father, an Alcoholic for over 60 years, was diagnosed with Stage Four Lymphoma at age 82. He went through Chemo over seven years ago. Just had a CT Scan and he is as clean as a whistle, just turning 90 last Monday. For all intents an purposes, he is cured of the Disease.
Life isn't fair, and living Life in fear of eating or drinking something that "may" be bad for you is the dumbest waste of time I can think of. That and Voting for Obama.
Everyone I ever knew that I (lovingly) considered Health Nuts have never lived to a ripe old age like my Father. It's just the way it is, you never know when the Fat Lady will sing. When she does, you'll be the first to know, or not.
It blew my mind when I saw that my daughter-in-law in Miami had purchased 48 small bottles of water for hurricane emergencies. They were using gallons of milk on a regular basis. I always keep six gallons of cleaned refilled milk containers full of water for storms and water main breaks. Doesn't cost more than a few cents for the water itself.
Not me! No way! I don't drink water any more. I drink dihydrogen oxide. It's much better for you, plus it's organic, too.
Hydroxic acid for those with too much money
Keep drinking that Flouride y'all.
Where is the science that says public water with chlorine and fhllorine are safe to drink?
No one in this world has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.
Henry Louis Mencken
My 76 years of good health says it's good, I won't drink bottled crap!
Or how about the Ozone lamps that were sdvertised to sanitize things. (I think they actually worked to a certain degree.)
You can find some good details on iodine, fluoride/bromide issues in
I am a huge fan of iodine, it's my new best friend! I never knew how lacking we are in potassium iodine until recently. I grew up on well water and did not develop abnormal conditions until I was living in areas that had only "tap".
Flourine, bromine, chlorine did G*d intend that to be in your body?
Iodides will kill the microbes..end of story.
What did Mencken have against the Amish?
LOL All the stress she is putting on herself finding a goofy set of foods will likely give her a stroke at age fifty.
What did Mencken have against the Amish?
Ultraviolet? Since ozone is a gas it won't come from a lamp. However I believe ozone is bubbled through water to sterilize it.
The hidden variables are that when you moved from the country to the city (or suburb) you also took in more pollution from other sources, stress, etc.
I love your mother's saying. Just hadn't heard it in a while.
So sorry for your illness. We will add you to our Care Group prayer list. There often doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to life sometime. But God says when we get to Heaven it will all make sense.
I'm reminded of a story about two angels who visited a poor farm couple who shared what little food they had and their humble surroundings with them. Their cow who gave them milk and provided a small income to them died during the night. One angel asked another how that could have been allowed to happen. The angel responded that the angel of death had come during the night for the wife but was convinced to take the cow instead. Life is not always what it seems.
May God watch over you.
There are many scams out there. About the only one I know, that really works, is that shrinking garden water hose. Much to my amazement, it really does work.
Yeah, what a joke they were. Overpriced air filters with "space age technology"!
If I was callous enough, I'd wait about 10 years and re-introduce the world the wonders of "Negative Ion Air Filtration"!
I am also one of those never drink/smoke/drugs types and I have had off and on bouts of problems all my life. I am in line to see a neurologist about the latest unexplainable things that put me in the ER a couple weeks back. A mind is a terrible thing to waste except in my case, maybe not so much.....
Two points:
1.Good health is merely the slowest possible rate
at which one can die.
2.Someday Health Nuts are going to feel stupid,
lying in the hospitals dying of nothing.
People like her just wear me out.
It sounds like she has orthorexia. It is an eating disorder characterized by an obsession with eating nothing but "healthy" foods. People with the disorder tend to cut whole food groups out. They do not have a working definition of "healthy", either.
I do not think the disorder is officially recognized, yet, but a definition is fairly well developed. When I first read about it, my reaction was, "Aha!" Because I was raised by a woman with this disorder. When I read expert opinions that orthorexia is not a disorder, but is just anorexia, I want to yell at them--go spend time with my mother and tell me orthorexia is nothing but anorexia! It is not!
There is a danger with orthorexia. It can be deadly, since people cut out so many "unhealthy" foods that they cannot get adequate nutrition. Orthorexic mothers have killed their babies by imposing their pathological food beliefs on them.
I think you can actually buy mock bottles of that online. An underrated movie.
If you wants some serious levels of ions in your water drink pond water.
I'm guessing here a bit, but this marketing stragety is born out of using ion exchange units to clean the water they sell. One problem with deionizers is they tend to make water taste like crap. So water bottlers started added ions back into the water to make it taste normal. At some time they figure this was a good marketing strategy to differentailte their products.

Steve - fantastic journal entry on this pizza! Good camera, too. What's your feeling on high-gluten flour, which you used, for this? Think it's mandatory? I'm going to try the food processor method within the week. I'll post a journal on it, also. I'm going to be using Belaria OO, which I just got the other day. I don't think it's high gluten, but I could be wrong. I'm also probably going to cook one on the pan, like yours, and one directly on stone.Mark
