Overview: Earth is DOOMED! The good news: several corporations have developed FTL space flight and have the means to pick up Earth's population and deliver them to distant planets. The bad news: it may be the end of the world, but that doesn't mean the corporations aren't still trying to make a profit. As CEOs of these corporations, you're trying to build the biggest customer base (er, I mean, rescue the most survivors), develop technologies, and explore the universe, all while Disaster Looms!
Eric Salyers, president of Break From Reality Games, was able to bring a couple prototypes while he was in town, so I had a chance to play the game and chat a little bit about it. (Since he wasn't able to leave the prototype with me, my write-up is based on memory and photographs, which I hope is pretty close.)
Players: 2 to 4
Ages: 10 and up
Playing Time: 90 minutes
Retail: $50 on Kickstarter; planned $60 retail [Update: the Kickstarter campaign has ended, but you will be able to order the game directly from Break From Reality Games.]
Rating: The most fun you can have while Earth is about to be destroyed by an impending cataclysm.
Who Will Like It? Euro-game fans who like space themes. It has pick-up-and-deliver, resource management, tile-laying and exploration, but not as much head-to-head conflict (i.e., you can't shoot lasers at each other). There's luck of the draw, but no dice-based luck.

News Release
Don't let the next storm catch you off-guard
BELLEVUE – As many residents can attest, the Dec. 14 windstorm was anything but typical. Hundreds of trees fell, taking power lines down with them, and some 700,000 Puget Sound Energy customers were without power, some for as long as nine days. Were you ready?
Mother Nature is powerful, and hits Washington with earthquakes, windstorms, snowstorms, flooding, wild fire, volcanic eruptions and even tsunamis. Will you be ready the next time?
City departments briefed the Council at a study session Tuesday about the city's response to the windstorm.
We cannot stop disasters, but we can prepare for them. Here are a few tips that will make getting ready for, responding to and recovering from disasters a much smoother process. For more details and useful links, go to the Fire Department Emergency Preparedness Division home page.

MIRACLE MEN ON FLORIDA'S GOLD COAST; Their Land Boom Resembles Something Between Fantasy and Farce, But It Is Really the Latest and Most Violent Form of Winter Sport
By ANNE O'HARE McCORMICK ();
March 08, 1925,
, Section MAGAZINE, Page SM3, Column , words
MIAMI. THE boom now booming in Florida is something between fantasy and farce, miracle and merry-go-round. Its first effect upon the lone and innocent bystander who neither buys nor sells real estate is that of being pitched headlong into American burlesque on a South Sea Island. The coral strand is attacked by enterprise, the lotus land made to march.

Police consultant group responds to JS story questioning objectivity
PRI Management Group, the Florida consultant picked to conduct a $25,000 independent audit of the Milwaukee Police Department's crime reporting system, posted an open letter on its website in response to a Journal Sentinel story that raised questions about the firm's objectivity.
The JS Watchdog Report found that in more than a dozen Twitter and blog posts since a Journal Sentinel investigation found flaws with the city's crime data, PRI Management Group has praised Police Chief Edward Flynn and criticized the paper's reporting.
In May, the Journal Sentinel found more than 500 violent assaults were misreported in a recent three-year period and not counted in the city's crime rate. Milwaukee police then launched an internal audit that found more than 5,300 cases of aggravated assault were underreported since 2006.
Titled "An open letter to the citizens of Milwaukee," the post on the PRI Management website addresses some issues raised in the story. There is no author listed.
Part of of the post reads:
"PRI Management Group doesn't know if in fact the police department is fudging on its crime stats. We have no idea of knowing what has truly caused the inaccurate crime stats other than the allegations leveled in the media and the response provided by Chief Flynn. We do know that there is no way of finding out until we complete a thorough analysis of the department's crime reporting processes, technology systems, personnel and facts and figures. That is our job.
We also know that our social marketing efforts which complimented the manner in which Chief Flynn handled himself at a press conference is in no way indicative of some predisposition on behalf of PRI Management Group regarding this matter. Our comments referring to Chief Flynn's calm and professional response in the face of immense pressure and skepticism earned him the accolades he received from many including us. Anyone facing the barrage of attacks, whether accurate or not, would without strong leadership skills be unable to respond in the manner he did."
Last week, Fire and Police Commission Executive Director Mike Tobin said his oversight agency was finalizing arrangements with PRI Management Group to review the findings and methodologies of the internal police audit, as well as examine their records management system to prevent errors from occurring in the future.
Tobin, who estimated the cost of the outside review at $25,000, said PRI Management has no connections to the Police Department or the city. The money would come from the commission's existing budget.

No. 2/3 Notre Dame Hands Cincinnati Road Loss
Feb. 2, 2013
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The University of Cincinnati women's basketball team limited Notre Dame to 36.4 percent (8-for-22) shooting during the second half of Saturday's BIG EAST contest, but couldn't overcome a 22-point half-time deficit as the Fighting Irish earned a 64-42 victory.
Kayla Cook (South Webster, Ohio / South Webster) led the Bearcats with a season-high 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting. The junior guard hit two long-distance shots in the contest, making her 4-for-9 from behind the arc in UC's last two games.
Alyesha Lovett (Newark, N.J. / Malcolm X Shabazz) shattered her career-high assist total, dishing out six in the contest. The sophomore guard also tied a career-high in steals (4) while contributing six points. Lesha Dunn (Toronto, Ontario / Trinity Valley Community College) added seven points and pulled down a team-best five rebounds.
Overall, UC finished shooting 35.3 percent (18-of-51) from the floor while Notre Dame hit 50 percent (24-of-48) of their shots. Cincinnati out-shot Notre Dame 48 percent to 36 percent during the final 20 minutes. Notre Dame held a 38-24 edge in rebounds, leading to a 16-9 edge in second-chance points.
The Bearcats were plagued by a 23.1 percent (6-of-26) shooting effort in the first half, while the Fighting Irish fired at a clip just over 61 percent (16-of-26). UC's slow start on offense allowed Notre Dame to open the contest with a 10-0 run. Kayla McBride added six points during the spurt.
The junior guard went on to score 11 of her game-high 19 points in the first half as Notre Dame used a 17-2 run to push the lead to a 31-10 advantage. Cincinnati added a jumper from Alexis Durley (Houston, Texas / Andy Dekaney) and a three from Cook before the half to head into the break trailing 37-15.
UC found its offensive rhythm early in the second half, opening the final stanza on an 8-2 run. Chelsea Jamison (Indianapolis, Ind. / Broad Ripple) added two jumpers while steals from Cook and Lovett lead to four more UC points. The spurt cut Notre Dame's advantage to 39-23 with 17:42 left on the clock.
However, Notre Dame answered with a jumper from Natalie Achonwa and treys from Skylar Diggins and Kaila Turner to push the Irish's lead back to 47-23. The scoring eventually evened out at 27 for each squad during the second half as Notre Dame earned the 64-42 win over the Bearcats.
UC returns home Tuesday, February 5 when the Bearcats host Syracuse in a BIG EAST contest marked for a 7 p.m. tip off.

Looks like someone is demanding an apology. Casey Cohen wants Bauer Media Group to apologize for several of their magazines that claiming that she was Jay Z's mistress. Click to read what happened!
Casey Cohen, is making waves as she reportedly launches a lawsuit that pertains to rumors that she was Jay Z's alleged mistress. On June 12, Casey filed a cease and desist letter to Bauer Media Group, which owns magazines such as In Touch, that asked the company to take down stories written about her!
Jay Z's Mistress Casey Cohen Submits Cease & Desist Letter
Several US magazines — all owned by Bauer Media Group — included Casey in reports that she was Jay's mistress. Casey, who starred in Bravo's Princesses: Long Island, has denied claims that she was intimately involved with Jay Z, saying in a cease and desist letter that they "have never been in love or intimate," according to TMZ.
The reality star apparently hired a lawyer who dismissed the claims as a "foul and phony mistress-rumor" in the letter.
In the letter, Casey demanded a public apology from Bauer to her, Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z, as well as take down the stories that were written about her.
Casey Cohen: Has She Met Bey and Jay?
Reportedly, Casey claimed in the letter that she had met Beyonce and Jay Z through her job as a VIP hostess in New York, according to The Daily Mail.
The cheating rumors surfaced shortly after Jay Z and Solange Knowles got into an elevator fight on May 5 at the MET Ball.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think about Casey's letter? Do you think demanding the stories to be deleted is too much? Let us know!

Introducing Myself
I went through a couple BM's since I've joined this website and none of them ever made it anywhere worthy enough for a thread. Recently I purchased a 2002 BMW 530I from a police auction for $1,350.00 in near mint condition with 100,051 Miles on the clock. My current plan is to just stay on the forum and read my ass off and take notes! I have pretty tough skin and and very open to constructive criticism. Thanks for reading!!!

Welcome! Looks like a sweet ride, and you got it for a steal! You mentioned near mint condition, so I'm assuming everything works?
The problem with buying a used a car at auction is you don't know what has been replaced and what hasn't... check your cooling system.

Yeah everything works. The only thing I had to replace so far was the lower radiator hose and my right headlight was out but other then that it's in very good condition. When I'm ready to start a thread I'll have someone with a DSLR camera take some high quality pictures of the car. I'm not sure where I want to go with modding. I kinda want to go with the M5 look but not sure how I would work out the exhaust if I was to run an OEM rear bumper. I want some wide rears but I want contact rather then "Stance" (No Disrespect to the Stanced E39's). My care is Automatic so Im not sure where I can go performance wise yet... I'm still doing a lot of reading and taking notes. Opinions and suggestions are very welcome! Thanks!
I would love to have my interior look like this!!!
What did you do to induce the BMs? Or were they natural?
Ed in San Jose '97 540i 6 speed aspensilber over aubergine leather. Build date 3/97. Golden Gate Chapter BMW CCA Nr 62319.
Welcome! I have a 530i Sport as well. Getting the interior how you like it wouldn't be difficult. Too bad my dreams are much more bolder than yours:
Having either would be so awesome....
That second one is nice! I just plan to source all the parts to completely swap my interior black then im going to pay one of you Know Hows that's not too far from me to install it all for me! But damn that second picture is nice! My interior is tan leather!
Hi AristoPei,
Alpine White FTW!
Take a look through this forum and you will pick up quite a good amount of knowledge for the car's systems and various tips and tricks etc. It's a little 'light' on modifying here, most owners preferring the oem only look. The other 'big' channel has more 'modifiers' who will push the envelope out just that little bit more which is where I think, longer term you'd perhaps want your car to be looking and performing like!
So far. what you've thought about, the M5 interior swap, quad exhaust conversion, wheels and a suitable drop without going too low have been discussed perhaps multiple thousands of times now - each is easily doable. You can then look at other more involved modifications according to what you'd like - things like SMG steering wheel, external styling choices, functional modifications both internal and external, performance and handling, braking and then power upgrades.
You'll probably get lots of other enthusiasts saying to change the external door/bumper mouldings to black! my car has the same colour coded ones as yours and I've lost count of the amount of people on forums and in real life at meets saying I should do that! instead I opted for a carbon fibre printed vinyl wrap on the entire roof and had my wheels done in a flash chrome paint with polished lips. For more contrast, I did black bonnet/hood grilles, black ACS mirrors and I have the black of the carbon fibre on the front lip I have.
My car was Ex Police, so led a very very hard life prior to me purchasing it when it was retired from active duty just after it's 3rd birthday in 2006. I also picked it up for an absolute bargain price - though not as cheap as what you have! it was around £6000 at the time, when other non Police E39 Touring's were between £16-22,000. I've of course changed a lot of stuff on the car and there's still plenty to come!
Before the rest of the members chime in, do ensure your car is all mechanically good/perfect and then start to look at modifications etc! - its one of the favourite lines on this forum !
Cheers, Dennis!
Thanks for all of this info and the warm welcome.
When it comes to modding for performance I'm not planning to do too much. I figure if I want something for big power I should just get an M5. I think i'm going to keep it pretty simple. Just Intake (If its recommended), a tune of some sort and Exhaust mainly for sound. This will be more of a daily so I don't want to get too crazy you know.
Thanks for educating me on the picture. I didn't know that was an M5 interior swap. I just seen it and liked it! As for the quad exhaust that's what im currently looking into because my car has pretty good paint. Id say 8.5/10 surprisingly. But since I want to go with the M5 Look i'm currently in the market for the front and rear bumper so im also in the market for the exhaust to match it.
Other then Maintenance I think brakes and suspension are two points i'll start with for now since I need to save a mass part of my money to move back to San Diego at the end of the year! I'll probably do most of my modding out there. For now i'll just read up, keep taking notes from individuals like yourself willing to dish out some knowledge and keep my eye out on parts that I will eventually need that people are getting rid of! Thanks for the info man! Post some pics up of your car!!! The pics im posting is the look I kinda want to aim for without coppy catting detail for detail... but close!
That was a steal! You just stole from the cops! I wish I would fall on a chance like that some day. Congrats of the find and enjoy.

Hi AristoPei,
I understand on your thinking there and perhaps doing things in stages when it suits etc. From what you say, and the pictures you've referenced for what you like, then it'll be relatively easy for you do achieve it. The non M5 car you've shown, I 'think' might be member Narvin's old car and If I'm wrong on that, which I could be, its another one of the regular posting members perhaps here or on the other channel - that said, it might well be a completely different enthusiasts car! I say it's relatively easy to achieve as it's only been lowered and is running 19 inch (might be 20s?) Varstoenn wheels which look very much like the much wanted, genuine BBS LM wheels which are on the M5 picture above. So quality suspension, the wheels, perhaps some rolling and pulling of the arches/fenders, perhaps a set of minimal thickness spacers and you'd be able to get that look. As it's a daily, you might not want to run as low as that, but there are owners who do.
There's quite a few threads on how ot get the quad exhaust setup on non M5's. Have a search through and then look for a local reputable exhaust specialist who can do the job properly and well and you'll be set there too. M5 or Sport front/rear bumpers can be had quite easily from a breaking car or you could go for better quality replica versions - look to forum sponsor Umnitza as a starting point.
For me, I like to push the envelope for modifying a little more, so that means things like as rare or sought after wheels that I like. I don't want wheels the 'masses' have, and although the look is fantastic, the 'BBS LM' look is way too common for me and I've never liked mesh or cross spoke wheel designs either ! I also like other rarer to find items that are oem or, aftermarket products which I feel fit well with the E39 body shape/proportions and styling. Here's a cut n paste of a signature I have in another forum

That thing is nice. There was a wagon in my city on craigslist for $1,500.00 That needed new suspension that I was going to get but stalled on it and someone else got it. If I find one i'm getting that too! And my bad everyone on the "BM" thing. LOL... Thanks for all the advice and tips!
I've been reading and it seems like the very first thing I should get done is my Vanos Seals!!! I've researched the parts and everything... but in my search I found this Rebuilt Vanos System with Solenoid... (http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-57...x3-z4-e60.aspx)
Would it be worth it to just get this instead? Thanks in Advance!!!

Bible Commentaries
Scofield's Reference Notes
Genesis 15
Verse 2
1 "Lord" (Heb. Adon, Adonai)
(1) The primary meaning of Adon, Adonai, is Master, and it is applied in the Old Testament Scriptures both to Deity and to man. The latter instances are distinguished in the English version by the omission of the capital. As applied to man, the word is used of two relationships; master and husband Genesis 24:9; Genesis 24:10; Genesis 24:12 "master" may illustrate the former; Genesis 18:12 "lord," the latter). Both these relationships exist between Christ and the believer John 13:13 "master"; 2 Corinthians 11:2; 2 Corinthians 11:3 "husband").
(2) Two principles inhere in the relation of master and servant:
(a) the Master's right to implicit obedience John 13:13; Matthew 23:10; Luke 6:46
(b) the servant's right to direction in service Isaiah 6:8-11
Clear distinction in the use of the divine names is illustrated in Exodus 4:10-12. Moses feels his weakness and incompetency, and "Moses said unto the Lord Jehovah, O my Lord Adonai, I am not eloquent," etc. Since service is in question, Moses appropriately addresses Jehovah as Lord. But now power is in question, and it not the Lord (Adonai) but Jehovah (Lord) who answers (referring to creation power)--"and Jehovah said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth?. . Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth." The same distinction in Joshua 7:8-11. See, for other names of Deity:
(See Scofield "Genesis 1:1") See Scofield "Genesis 2:4" Genesis 2:7 See Scofield "Genesis 14:18" See Scofield "Genesis 15:2" See Scofield "Genesis 17:1" See Scofield "Genesis 21:33" See Scofield "1 Samuel 1:3"
2 "Lord God" (Heb. Adonai Jehovah). When used distinctively, this compound name, while gathering into one the special meanings of each
(See Scofield "Genesis 2:4") See Scofield "Genesis 15:2"
will be found to emphasize the Adonai rather than the Jehovah character of Deity. (The following passages may suffice to illustrate this:) Genesis 15:2; Genesis 15:8; Deuteronomy 3:24; Deuteronomy 9:26; Joshua 7:7; Judges 6:22; Judges 16:28; 2 Samuel 7:18-20,; 2 Samuel 7:28; 2 Samuel 7:29; 1 Kings 2:26; Psalms 69:6; Psalms 71:5; Isaiah 7:7
See, for other names of Deity:
(See Scofield "Genesis 1:1") See Scofield "Genesis 2:4"
Genesis 2:7
(See Scofield "Genesis 14:18") See Scofield "Genesis 15:2" See Scofield "Genesis 17:1" See Scofield "Genesis 21:33" See Scofield "1 Samuel 1:3"
Verse 18
The Abrahamic Covenant as formed Genesis 12:1-4 and confirmed; Genesis 13:14-17; Genesis 15:1-7; Genesis 17:1-8 is in seven distinct parts:
(1) "I will make of thee a great nation." Fulfilled in a threefold way:
(a) In a natural posterity--"as the dust of the earth Genesis 13:16; John 8:37, viz. the Hebrew people.
(b) In a spiritual posterity--"look now toward heaven. .. so shall thy seed be" John 8:39; Romans 4:16; Romans 4:17; Romans 9:7; Romans 9:8; Galatians 3:6; Galatians 3:7; Galatians 3:29 viz. all men of faith, whether Jew or Gentile.
(c) fulfilled also through Ishmael Genesis 17:18-20
(2) "I will bless thee." Fulfilled in two ways:
(a) temporally Genesis 13:14; Genesis 13:15; Genesis 13:17; Genesis 15:18; Genesis 24:34; Genesis 24:35 (b) spiritually; Genesis 15:6; John 8:56
(3) "And make thy name great." Abraham's is one of the universal names.
(4) "And thou shalt be a blessing" Galatians 3:13; Galatians 3:14
(5) "I will bless them that bless thee." In fulfilment closely related to the next clause.
(6) "And curse him that curseth thee." Wonderfully fulfilled in the history of the dispersion. It has invariably fared ill with the people who have persecuted the Jew--well with those who have protected him. The future will still more remarkably prove this principle Deuteronomy 30:7; Isaiah 14:1,; Joel 3:1-8; Micah 5:7-9; Haggai 2:22; Zechariah 14:1-3; Matthew 25:40; Matthew 25:45.
(7) "In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed." This is the great evangelic promise fulfilled in Abraham's Seed, Christ Galatians 3:16; John 8:56-58.
It brings into greater definiteness the promise of the Adamic Covenant concerning the Seed of the woman Genesis 3:15
NOTE.--The gift of the land is modified by prophecies of three dispossessions and restorations Genesis 15:13; Genesis 15:14; Genesis 15:16; Jeremiah 25:11; Jeremiah 25:12; Deuteronomy 28:62-65; Deuteronomy 30:1-3. Two dispossessions and restorations have been accomplished. Israel is now in the third dispersion, from which she will be restored at the return of the Lord as King under the Davidic Covenant; Deuteronomy 30:3; Jeremiah 23:5-8; Ezekiel 37:21-25; Luke 1:30-33; Acts 15:14-17
See, for the other seven covenants:
EDENIC (See Scofield "Genesis 1:28") ADAMIC See Scofield "Genesis 3:15" NOAHIC See Scofield "Genesis 9:1" MOSAIC See Scofield "Exodus 19:25" PALESTINIAN See Scofield "Deuteronomy 30:3" DAVIDIC See Scofield "2 Samuel 7:16" NEW See Scofield "Hebrews 8:8"

anybody know what model it is? No markings except White. I can't seem to find one like in from pictures on line.
It is a very nice machine - my only gripe is the stitch length is small on straight stitch - zig zag is like a normal Japanese from the era stitch width and length. It is missing the disks - anybody have any ideas?

The May Health Talk presented by Flambeau Hospital will feature speaker Mike Wade, Occupational Therapist, discussing stress management and coping exercises. This presentation will be a fun discussion with a self-assessment exercise and a stress test. Come to this health talk to decide if you will enjoy the rest of 2010 or will you need that Hawaiian vacation! Wade has given several talks about stress management and has lead several support groups on fibromyalgia, pain and stress.
Some stress is normal and even useful. Stress can help if you need to work hard or react quickly. For example, it can help you win a race or finish an important job on time. But, if stress happens too often or lasts too long, it can have bad effects. It can be linked to headaches, upset stomach, back pain and/or trouble sleeping. It can weaken your immune system, making it harder to fight off disease. If you already have a health problem stress may make it worse. It can make you moody, tense or depressed. Your relationships may suffer and you may not do as well at work or school.
Health Talks is a monthly feature offered free to the community by Flambeau Hospital. Presented at 5:30 pm in both Park Falls and Phillips, this months talk will be held in Park Falls on Tuesday, May 18 in the Flambeau Hospital Murphy Administration building classroom 1 and in Phillips on Thursday, May 20 in the conference room at Flambeau Home Health and Hospice.
A different topic is chosen each month and presented by an experienced health professional. For more information please feel free to contact Kathy Klein, Community and Business Development manager for Flambeau Hospital at 715-762-7575.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Ashley wears a gray sweater. You know how they say that hospitals are always cold? That must be why Ashley is wearing this cozy number right in the middle of the warmest season of the year. Because let's face it, nothing says summertime like a crewneck and long sleeves. Though in all seriousness, all things considered, her outfit is pretty great. And hey, maybe Tucker just really likes seeing her in sweaters. To each his own...

text: Here in the "Canadian Mosaic," issues of race are largely stricken from the language of the everyday. We prefer not to speak openly about racism, for deconstructing it might chip away at that illusory façade of Canada as a nation of perpetual tolerance and chronic multiculturalism -- a delusion we all hold dear to our glowing hearts. Unfortunately for all those "liberal-minded" Canadians out there who view our country to be so forward thinking and accommodating that racism is a non-issue, institutionalized multiculturalism is not the same thing as social racial equality.

In the summer of her twelfth year, Frankie Addams feels isolated and disconnected. She is a lanky girl with a crew haircut and skinned elbows. Some of the older girls she has played with the year before have a neighborhood club, and there are parties with boys on Saturday nights, but Frankie is not a participant. That summer, she gets herself into so much trouble that at last she just stays home with John Henry West, her little cousin, and Berenice Sadie Brown, the Addams's cook. Through long, hot afternoons, they sit in the dingy, sad Addams kitchen and play cards or talk until their words sound strange, with little meaning.
Berenice Sadie Brown is short and black and the only mother Frankie has ever known, her own mother having died when she was born. The cook has been married four times, and during one of her marriages, she lost an eye while fighting with a worthless husband. Now she owns a blue glass eye that always interests John Henry West. He is six years old and wears gold-rimmed glasses. Sometimes Frankie grows tired of him and sends him home. Sometimes she begs him to stay all night. Everything seems so mixed up that she seldom knows what she wants.
Then, on the last Friday in August, something happens that makes life wonderful once more. Frankie's brother, Jarvis, a soldier home from Alaska, has come to dinner with Janice Evans, a girl who lives at Winter Hill. They are to be married there on Sunday, and Frankie and her father are going to the wedding. After dinner, Janice and Jarvis return to Winter Hill. Mr. Addams goes downtown to his jewelry store. Later, while she sits playing cards with Berenice and John Henry, Frankie thinks of her brother and his bride. Winter Hill becomes all mixed up in her mind with snow and icy glaciers in Alaska.
Jarvis and Janice bring Frankie a doll, but she has no time for dolls anymore. John Henry could have it. She wishes her hair were not so short; she looks like one of the freaks from the Chattahoochee Exposition. Suddenly angry, she chases John Henry home. When Berenice teases her, saying that Frankie is jealous of the wedding, Frankie declares that she is going to Winter Hill and never coming back. For a minute, she wants to throw a kitchen knife at the black cook. Instead, she hurls it at the stairway door. Berenice goes out with Honey Camden Brown, her foster brother, and T. T. Williams, her beau. Honey is not quite right in the head, and Berenice is always trying to keep him out of trouble. T. T. owns a black restaurant. Frankie does not realize that the cook's pity for the unhappy, motherless girl keeps her from marrying T. T.
Left alone, Frankie wanders around the block to the house where John Henry lives with Aunt Pet and Uncle Eustace. Somewhere close by, a horn begins to play a blues tune. Frankie feels so sad and lonely that she wants to do something she has never done before. She thinks again of Jarvis and Janice. She is going to be a member of the wedding;...
(The entire section is 1213 words.)
In The Member of the Wedding, attention is concentrated on twelve-year-old Frankie Addams, her six-year-old cousin John Henry West, and Berenice Sadie Brown, a middle-aged black housekeeper. Their card-playing, eating, and talking in the kitchen during the last weekend of August constitute most of the action. It has been a bad summer for Frankie. Her best friend has moved away, she is too big to curl up beside her father in bed, and she belongs to no group. A lonely heart, she searches for "the we of me." In part 1, she latches onto the notion that she can join her brother and his bride after their wedding.
In part 2, she changes her name to F. Jasmine Addams and begins to believe that she belongs. She senses a fellow feeling with everyone she meets in town, including a soldier who buys her a drink at the Blue Moon and makes a date with her for that night.
Back home in the kitchen that afternoon, Berenice argues against Frankie's plans for the wedding. To show how foolishly people are served by unrealistic ideas of love, she tells of her four marriages. The first had been blissful, but, widowed, she married a succession of no-good men simply because they reminded her of her first husband. The last husband gouged out one of her eyes in a fight. Berenice's deep voice draws sympathy if not understanding from Frankie. Sometimes they break into song together, with John Henry's high notes sailing overhead and Frankie's voice...

Officials: Air service to continue
What the future of the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport will be in light of Delta Air Lines' announcement that it intends to drop service here, nobody knows.
But what airport officials want residents of the Brainerd lakes area to know is that air service in some form will continue at the airport.
"The name on the plane may change but the anticipation is we will continue to have service," said Steve Sievek, airport manager. "We don't want the public in Brainerd giving up on us. It's not a case of gloom and doom at all."
Sievek said that sentiment was the focus of the airport commission's public relations and marketing subcommittee, which met Thursday. Delta last week informed the city and county, which jointly own the airport, that it intends to cease air service in Brainerd and 23 other small cities across the country.
Rep. Chip Cravaack, R-Minn., in a news release last week said Delta's notice of termination triggered a process where the U.S. Department of Transportation will seek a carrier to provide unsubsidized air service for Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport. Great Lakes Airlines has expressed interest and Sievek said Delta is pushing for Great Lakes to take over that service.
Cravaack, who serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and is vice chairman of the aviation subcommittee and chairman of the Essential Air Service Working Group, said if the DOT can't find a carrier willing to provide unsubsidized air service it will accept sealed bids from carriers willing to provide a minimum level of service with a federal subsidy. Such carriers must document that they cannot make a profit without a subsidy. If no sealed bids are received then Delta Air Lines or its subsidiaries, Pinnacle Airlines and Mesaba Aviation, will be required to continue air service in Brainerd while being federally subsidized.
Sievek will be sitting in Monday on a teleconference with a senior vice president with Delta and on Tuesday he will be in Bemidji for a meeting of the Local Airline Service Action Committee to discuss the issue with other airport managers and Minnesota Department of Transportation Aeronautics.
"Hopefully between these two encounters we may know a little more," Sievek said.
Beth Pfingsten, chairwoman of the airport commission, said what is known is that Delta will stay in Brainerd until the commission has answers to its questions. She noted the subcommittee has been meeting for some time to find a second carrier for the airport. The goal now, she said, is to continue that work while marketing the airport for Delta's replacement.
"We're not going to roll over and die here," Pfingsten said. "We will have a viable airport and, if at all possible, with carrier options. So we're telling people to continue to plan their vacation, continue to fly out of Brainerd. We will be here into the future, we just don't know what it's going to look like down the road."
Pfingsten noted Sun Country uses the airport several times a year for charter flights. She would like to see a carrier with direct connections to Chicago or Denver.

text: It's a small car so what do you expect. That said, my biggest gripe against the Cayman was how claustrophobic I felt when I sat in it, which is why I pretty much gave up on that idea and shifted focus to the 991, so hopefully the F-Type isn't that bad. And on the topic of Rover, my last car was a Range Rover Sport and if you have experience with those, you'll know that they have one of the best driving positions of any vehicle out there (in terms of visibility, etc), so coming from that into a small sports car is a big adjustment. Never in a million years did I think I'd be in my mid-to-late 20's and considering a Jaguar. How do they lease? On the Jaguar USA site, I'm seeing $800/month with $5k down for a base model and you have to pay for excess wear & tear. Not great but not terrible. In Canada, this means $1,200 with $10k down though

Maximum rates of cooling by three programmable freezers, and the potential relevance to sperm cryopreservation
Phillip Matson 1,2,3, Wendy Kappelle 2, Sandra Webb 2
2 Reproductive Biology Unit, Perth Zoo, Western Australia 6151, Australia 3School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences, Murdoch University, Murdoch, Western Australia 6150, Australia.
Maximum rates of cooling for the Asymptote EF 100 and the Cryologic CL8800 temperature controller with either a standard or fast chamber were determined and viewed in the context of sperm cryopreservation. All three systems use liquid nitrogen to cool the plate or chamber which would hold the sample, opposed by a variable amount of heat from an internal heater. Maximum rates of cooling for all systems were a function of the temperature gradient between the liquid nitrogen and the plate/chamber and at a plate/chamber temperature of 15°C were 16.5°C/min, 13.3°C/min and 8.0°C/min for the Asymptote EF100, Cryologic fast and slow chambers respectively. These machines are not suited to the freezing of sperm from species requiring rapid rates of cooling, an important consideration when planning to purchase a piece of equipment for this application, and scientists are advised to discuss specifically their requirements with prospective suppliers.

Model, mogul and all-around diva, Kimora Lee Simmons may have walked away from the fashion world when she left Baby Phat last year, but she's about to enter a new venture – skin care! Remember Kimora's KLS cosmetics line that was sold at Sephora stores a few years back? Well, Kimora's back in the beauty game and will be launching Shinto Clinical, an anti-aging skin care line this spring.
Here's what the Shinto Clinical website says about the line:
"The first signs of aging make us realize how quickly time passes.Shinto Clinical skincare will open your eyes to a beauty that runs deeper than any trend or gimmick. It's about self confidence that allows you to put your best face forward."
There's no word just yet on what items will be in the line or where it will be sold, but I'll pass on info as soon as I get it.
I, for one, am a big Kimora fan and am looking forward to checking the line out! What do you think about Kimora going into skin care? Will you be giving her products a try? Share in the comments!

For a party leader anxious to avoid any more gaffes, what could go wrong buying flowers for the wife?
Plenty, it turned out, as an immaculately suited Ed Miliband turned up at New Covent Garden flower market at the ungodly hour of 6.30am to bag London's freshest roses for wife Justine.
First came the delicate issue of his bacon roll, a vital accessory when meeting the working classes at breakfast time.
Mr Miliband's battle to consume the greasy treat alarmed his media minders, who tried to stop photographers taking close-ups of butter oozing between his teeth. After a few bites, the Labour leader appeared defeated, and the snack was put into the custody of Lord Wood, a senior shadow cabinet member.

Labour's leader chatted warmly with cafe owner Tony Foufas, who proudly mention that his son Christo is an LBC radio presenter. Alas, the Labour leader had not heard of him.
Later, Mr Foufas revealed he was not inclined to vote Labour. "I find the Conservatives are more pro-business," he told the Standard.
This morning's visit was staged to promote Mr Miliband's pledge to help small firms by cutting rates and reforming the banks. It was the start of a 200-mile trek stopping in 10 locations between London and Doncaster, where he will vote tomorrow.
Speaking to the Evening Standard, Mr Miliband said Labour's cost of living campaign had resonated with Londoners.
And he dropped a hint that he was edging towards those who hope to see a bold, radical manifesto in the 2015 general election. "I think the desire of the capital city is to show there can be big change in our country. We've got to show we can make big changes."
He dismissed remarks by Tristan Osborn, Labour's candidate for Chatham, who said the party was failing to attract southern voters. "You always get people who have their own views," he said.
Asked if a rail fares freeze could be in the manifesto to woo London commuters, Mr Miliband grinned before saying: "We'll set out more policy between now and the general election."
As for yesterday's day of media gaffes, when he did not know the name of Swindon's Labour leader and appeared not to know the cost of his family shopping, he ruefully admitted: "It comes with the territory."
And what about Justine's flowers: "I'm just about to do that!" he exclaimed, before choosing 20 stunning scarlet Grand Prix roses from the stall of Bobby Armitt, who charged him just £10 for the blooms which normally cost £15 wholesale.
Clutching the bouquet, Labour's leader headed for his car and the motorway. Justine, at least, should be very pleased with his morning's work.

Journey North,
Here's what we learned about the migration:
Today's flight tallied 20 adult cranes plus 1 juvenile
for a total of 21. That means that the other 91.5% of the flock
has started the migration. That's 226 birds out of 247, and it includes
all known adult pairs. Eighty-eight of these cranes began to migrate
since the last census flight on April 7th. Whooping cranes in migration
have recently been reported as far north as Saskatchewan, Canada.
Some cranes probably headed north today since conditions were very
good for migration with sunny skies and mostly southwest and south
winds after several days of unfavorable migration weather.
of the 21 cranes located on today's flight were singles. The one
juvenile present was closely associated in a group with 3 white-plumaged
cranes, the largest group observed on today's flight. The juvenile's
parents presumably started migrating and left "junior"
behind. "Will he be okay?" you might ask. This juvenile
crane will be fine. It has the knowledge to make the return migration
to Wood Buffalo National Park on its own or with other subadult
Crane Numbers
current flock size is estimated at 225 adults + 22 juveniles = 247.
The estimated peak winter flock size at Aransas was 232 adults +
38 juveniles (270 total), but there were some losses.
Use: A Changing Food Source
For the first time all winter, all the whooping cranes found today
were in a salt marsh. The cranes are believed to be feeding on fiddler
crabs since blue crabs in the marsh ponds are still scarce. This
is due to the continuing drought. A blue crab count done on April
1st found zero crabs in the marsh. The refuge has discontinued its
program of supplemental feeding with corn since most of the cranes
have migrated.
A lightning-caused wildfire that started April 18th
on Matagorda Island burned approximately 10,000 acres of upland
prairie lands. The fire, located between Pringle Lake and Power
Lake, was contained on April 20th and allowed to burn out. The burn
will benefit the prairie habitat by recycling nutrients and controlling

(WABI) – Penobscot representative Donna Loring says the tribe has lost bingo business since the Hollywood Slots Casino opened in Bangor in November 2005.
Penobscot leaders say gaming money is needed to help fund emergency and social services.
Opponents include the State Gambling Control Board and the city of Bangor, both of which have called for moratoriums on slot machines.
If approved, the Indian Island Slots would be regulated by the Gambling Control Board and 1% of the money from the slot machines would go to the state's general fund.

Boomers beware
Page Tools
We were approached to do an article about a group of young people, fresh out university, who had set up a software company out in the sticks. As recruiters repeatedly keep baying, there is a shortage of good software people in the market, so the new company was having difficulty hiring developers.
One would think that in such a scenario the supposedly innovative young people running this new company would have some fresh ideas about where to find good talent. For instance, maybe the company would be willing to take on board a highly experienced and skilled older developer who had recently been made redundant?
No dice, was the short answer. Why not? Well, the new company is a young one with a young team, and an oldie just wouldn't fit the mould.
All right, then, we live in the internet age. If having a mature person around stinking up the place would be too offensive for sensitive young nostrils to bear, perhaps the baby boomer could work from home?
Not a chance, we are given to understand. This particular company wants all its developers to report to the office each day and frequent the pub after work with their colleagues in a display of semi-intoxicated camaraderie.
So what we have is a supposedly innovative young IT company that totally lacks innovative work practices. The management of this company has clearly demonstrated that its enterprise is not an equal-opportunity employer. In addition to its blatant ageism, the company also has demonstrated a remarkable inflexibility in its attitude to working arrangements. As online homeworking becomes more common in large enterprises, we find a young company managed by people in their 20s who refuse to contemplate the idea that not everybody likes to spend 1 hours commuting each day.
Being fresh-faced kids out of university, no doubt the management also doesn't understand that not everybody wants to get smashed at the pub after work each day.
The managers may argue that the company has its own special corporate culture and wants to employ people who are a good cultural fit. However, they may want to consider the fact that most of the world's great companies embrace diversity in their staff. Yes, boys and girls, even Google has oldies on the payroll - Alan Eustace and Bill Coughran, vice-presidents of engineering, are certainly no spring chickens. We wonder how long it will take the young turks to realise that a culture that doesn't recognise the value of experience is not a culture worth fitting into.
Touch base
When Magnus Maynard came to Australia from Britain four years ago to set up contact centre systems integrator Touchbase, there was an added dimension to the usual scenario of a multinational company launching a regional office. Mr Maynard, managing director of Touchbase Australia, is the son of Jeffrey Maynard, who founded Touchbase in 1991, and the brother of Riordan Maynard, the current chief executive of the global group.
Since his arrival in 2001, Mr Maynard has built Touchbase from a small Sydney-based consulting firm of six people to a national company with more than 100 staff. About a third of its staff are engineering technical people who support clients' hardware and software, and another third are client-facing staff. The final third are applications development engineers, building products using contact centre platforms from Cisco, Avaya and Genesys.
Mr Maynard says Touchbase expects to put on up to 30 extra staff in the coming year, mainly in the company's Melbourne and Brisbane offices.
"We have difficulty in finding applications engineers," he says, adding that Touchbase is interested in engineering and technical IT graduates.
The world's large anti-virus vendors have proved to be hopelessly inadequate in coming up with an effective anti-spam solution.
Despite having a top-of-the-range anti-spam filter installed, we still get loads of spam coming through to our inboxes daily. Meanwhile, our anti-spam folder is jampacked with legitimate messages that we have to retrieve.
So it's comforting to know that good old Aussie ingenuity is around to save the day. The only problem is that no one seems to be taking any notice. The company, New Millennium Solutions, has been around since 1997, and its product, Total Block, has been available for the past three years. The way it works is based on a simple acknowledgement protocol. If you receive an email from an unknown address, the system blocks it and asks the sender to verify who they are. Once the senders do that, all future emails from that address get through. Spammers, of course, will never verify who they are and therefore their emails don't make it to your inbox. New Millennium Solutions chairman Peter Stewart believes his company's product is nothing less than the solution to the world's spam problem. "However, we can't get any interest from the ISPs or email providers," he says.

Service Areas: Employment (for Business)
The decision in Stringer and others v HMRC C-520/06 and the conjoined case of Schultz-Hoff v Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund C-350/06 has been highly anticipated and is long overdue.
The decision clarifies the previously confusing position as to whether an employee can accrue their statutory holiday entitlement (under the Working Time Regulations) during a prolonged period of absence from work due to illness.
When the Stringer case was appealed to the House of Lords, guidance was sought from the ECJ on:
· Whether the entitlement to annual leave arises at all where the worker has been on sick leave for the whole of the leave year.
· Whether a worker who has been absent on sick leave for all or part of the leave year in which employment terminates is entitled to payment in lieu of untaken leave; if so, how should that be calculated?
· Whether member states are free to provide that the right to take annual leave is extinguished if not taken by the end of the relevant year, where a worker has been prevented from taking annual leave because of illness.
· Whether a worker on indefinite sick leave must be allowed to give notice to take annual leave, and to take that leave, during a period that would otherwise have been sick leave.
The ECJ ruled (agreeing with most of the Advocate General's opinion) that:
· Annual leave under Article 7 of the European Working Time Directive continues to accrue during sick leave. This only applies to the 4 week minimum holiday entitlement currently provided by the European Working Time Directive and not the 4.8 weeks provided by the Working Time Regulations in the UK. Nor does the Judgment apply to any additional contractual holiday to which an employee may be entitled under his/her contract of employment.
· When employment terminates, workers must be paid in lieu for the annual leave which they have accrued but not taken due to illness. This is so whether the worker has been on sick leave for all or part of the leave year in question. Pay in lieu should be calculated at the worker's normal rate of pay.
· It is a matter for national law to determine whether a worker is entitled to take annual leave during a period that would otherwise be sick leave. However, if a worker on sick leave is prevented from taking annual leave, national law must enable that worker to take their holiday at a later date, even after the end of the leave year. As a result, an employee will have the right to carry statutory holiday entitlement over to the following year if the employee is too ill to take it in the year to which the holiday entitlement relates.
This ruling will have an immediate impact on the public sector. Public authorities will have to give the ruling direct effect, which means that they will have to implement the necessary changes, as ruled by the ECJ, immediately.
The private sector will now have to await the decision in the House of Lords where the case will return for a final hearing. The House of Lords will have to determine whether the UK's Working Time Regulations are compatible with this ruling, if they rule that they are incompatible the Government will be obliged to amend existing legislation.
The practical and financial implications for employers of this ruling are numerous, particularly in the current state of the UK economy. Employers in the public sector may now have to backdate any holiday entitlement not paid to an employee due to the fact they were on sick leave.
Furthermore, if the House of Lords rules that existing legislation is incompatible, thus requiring the Government to introduce amending legislation, many employers will need to review their policies and contracts to reflect this clarification of the law.
Perhaps most difficult for an employer to accept is the proposition that an employee who is dismissed or resigns during a long period of sick leave will be entitled to a lump sum payment in lieu of holiday accrued but untaken.

There's hope for Jon Stewart yet.
Here's Stewart from Thursday's "The Daily Show" lambasting what he perceived as ideological responses to the cataclysm in Haiti (click here for link to video at Air America site) --
STEWART: Clearly the story people care about right now is the earthquake that devastated Haiti. It is unspeakable as a tragedy. It's still unfolding. Aid groups are coordinating their efforts, donations are pouring in. At times like these I guess the only good thing that you can say is that whenever something this horrific happens, everyone comes together - everyone. (pause) Almost everyone.
(Cuts to video of Rush Limbaugh)
LIMBAUGH: This will play right into Obama's hands - humanitarian, compassionate. They'll use this to burnish their, shall we say, credibility with the black community, in both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It's made to order for him.
STEWART (addressing Limbaugh): You know, I think I know the cause of your heart trouble - you don't have one. I guess Rush Limbaugh is not the one you turn to in times of crisis. And why would you turn to Rush Limbaugh in a time of crisis. In times like these, you turn to men of God.
(Cuts to video of Pat Robertson on "The 700 Club" with co-host Kristi Watts)
ROBERTSON: You know, Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti and people may not want to talk about it. ... They got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French.
WATTS: Hmm.
ROBERTSON: It's a true story. Ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other ...
(Back to Stewart)
STEWART: Shut your pie-hole, old man. Out of all the things! Out of all the things that you could draw on from your religion to bring comfort to a devastated people and region. Look, look, look how big your book is! Look at (reads from Scripture), 'The Lord is close to the broken-hearted; He rescues those who are crushed in spirit', 'Fear though not; for I am with thee', 'Be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee.'
But you decided to go with, tough titties, devil folk! Have you read this book?! 'From the depths of the earth you will again bring me up,' 'Thou the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.'
I mean, that almost sounds like it's about f***ing earthquakes!
You got all this and you went with an urban legend about a deal with the devil. Well, (mimicking Robertson) none of this would have happened if those people hadn't drank all those Pop Rocks and Coke. These are terrible events. Can't we put aside ideology for a second?
(Cuts to video of Rachel Maddow from her MSNBC show on Jan. 13)
MADDOW: Development and assistance is what USAID does. And when we're responding to a disaster like the one in Haiti right now, we use USAID and the military alongside one another.
(Back to Stewart)
STEWART: See, thank you -- sober, factual report on America's aid work, working with the military together. No spin, thank you.
(Back to Maddow)
MADDOW: It's also important to understand what USAID is up to because the idea of more diplomacy and development, more USAID-style power, is a major part of the Obama administration's agenda. ... Putting someone as high-profile and powerful and capable as Hillary Clinton in charge of the State Department, all of that, central to what the Obama administration says it wants to do differently than what Bush and Cheney did.
(Back to chagrined-looking Stewart)
STEWART: Not the right time! Congratulations, MSNBC viewers, you're on the right side of this terrible, terrible tragedy.
Medic, Maddow's been hit!
Earlier in the same Maddow segment targeted by Stewart, Maddow exuded the distinct whiff of skepticism about Obama sending US Marines to Haiti in the wake of the earthquake (first part of embedded video) --
MADDOW: A massive rescue and relief effort by the United States government is underway in Haiti tonight. Ships, helicopters, transport planes and (pause, tilt of head for emphasis) 2,000 Marines reportedly on their way to Haiti now ...
Sigh -- there they go again. I half-expected Maddow to bring in Noam Chomsky to denounce yet another example of Yankee imperialism in the Caribbean.
More in this vein from Maddow in the same segment (second part of embedded video) --
MADDOW: If you think about it, there are about maybe, arguably four major ways that America exerts power around the world. One, leading by example. Two, trade and economic leverage. Three, people with guns and bombs, a.ka. military force...
As if no moral distinctions exist among "people with guns and bombs" -- terrorist and Marine en route to Haiti alike. Except that the US-funded development work abroad that Maddow enthuses about with upcoming guest Steve Clemons (third part of video) would be far more difficult if not for "people with guns and bombs," a.k.a. American soldiers and Marines putting their lives on the line for it.
Here's Clemons describing the work of the US Agency for International Development and getting the chronology wrong of US responses to natural disasters in the last decade --
CLEMONS: USAID is probably the most vital, underresourced and often neglected institution in the international portfolio of the United States. When a big natural disaster or we have foreign policy objectives that need USAID, they're there. But during times of calm, they're neglected and severely underresourced as I think they were under the Bush administration. And of course they were a major target in the old days of Jesse Helms and Newt Gingrich and others who really didn't value this kind of international engagement.
When you think back to Katrina and how badly we responded to an own domestic crisis, you can see a real step up to both how we responded in the tsunami crisis in southeast Asia a few years ago and now what we're seeing unfold today in Haiti, which is incredibly impressive.
Problem is, Katrina struck in August 2005, eight months after the tsunami. An error akin to Rudy Giuliani placing 9/11 after Richard Reid's attempted shoebombing in December 2001, a gaffe for which Maddow excoriated Giuliani.
I'm willing to give Clemons the benefit of a doubt he made an honest mistake -- a willingness that Maddow wouldn't extend to Giuliani. Seeing how Giuliani advocates deploying "people with guns and bombs" when necessary.

Left Mitten and The Great Denudation 2004
Sculpture & performance
Fabricated of silicon-coated ripstop nylon, Left Mitten is decked out like a Country and Western performer, replete with fringe, appliqué, and embroidery. Country and Western costuming as a craft was perfected by Nudie's Rodeo Tailor, among others, to outfit Hollywood's singing cowboys and Grand Ole Opry style performers. The style came to represent the Wild West and the rural, not by mimicking the existing styles of those regions, but by creating a stage-ready amalgamation of immigrant and Native American traditions.
An inflatable version of an iconic rock formation, the sculpture Left Mitten can be transported and inflated anywhere with a 110 volt hookup. A performance, The Great Denudation, takes the form of a guided hike around the instant and often animated landscape. The performer points out natural and cultural resources and answers spontaneous questions from the participant visitors.

In the wonderful movie Sliding Doors, Helen runs for a train and just makes it on as the doors are closing. Moments later we see her running again for the same train only to have the doors close a moment before she arrives, forcing her to wait several minutes for the next train to arrive. We then see two versions of Helen's life unfold, one where she had made the train and one where she did not. The seemingly trivial moment in her day proves to lead to two wildly different outcomes.
