OK, I have to say this.
As a mom, I'm really kind of creeped out by this. Not that I don't respect women who breastfeed. I do. There are very good reasons to do so.
It's healthy.
It's natural.
It's easier for a baby to digest.
It's a way to pass on antibodies.
I get it.
But when you have a kid who's old enough to play little league, maybe – JUST MAYBE – that's enough!
At that point, it's no longer for the child. It's for the mother.
It's a way to keep a child attached and dependent on her.
It's a way to boost the mother's ego.
It's an easy way out to quiet a fussy kid. He screams? Just shove a tit in his mouth!
It's about the mother's inability to let go and allow her child to develop and learn.
And for some mothers (yes, I know ones like this), it's a way to avoid going back out into the world – a way to avoid working – a reason to stay at home. "Well, I can't go out and get a job! My baby depends on me! I'm still breastfeeding!" Never mind, the kid is now taking karate lessons and going to school!
This chic attachment parenting bullshit has been making me crazy for years.
No, you don't need to share your bed with your infant at night. He needs to learn to fall asleep on his own. He needs to develop a set schedule. And hell, you and your spouse/significant other need some damn time to yourselves as well. Trust me, you aren't doing yourselves any favors by sharing your bed with your baby. Besides the risk of one of you rolling over and squishing him, you do need rest.
No, you don't need to breastfeed a four-year old! He's old enough to eat solid foods. He's gotten about all he's going to get out of your breast milk. At this point it's about you, not about him!
Yes, you do need to allow your child to explore the world around him, without being constantly attached to you. That's how they learn. That's how they develop.
Yes, your precious punkin will survive if you don't slather him in antibiotic gel and wrap him in bubble wrap! And no, you Munchhausen by Proxy-ridden hypochondriac – your kid isn't fragile and sensitive to eggspeanutsglutenscornsyrupwhatevertheboogiemanofthedayhappenstobe, so stop treating him like he'll break the moment he leaves your sight!
Seriously, folks. Some common sense please?
Yeah, I'm mom enough.
I am raising two intelligent, curious, courageous, independent, healthy children.
I've taught them common sense, logic, courtesy and personal responsibility.
Yes, I breastfed the Redhead, but I put him to bed when it was time, I set a schedule for him and I helped him become an independent human being.
Yes, I bonded with him. I sang him songs in a rocking chair at night before putting him in his bed. I played with him. I taught him how to do simple jigsaw puzzles when he was two years old.
But I didn't force him to be dependent on me by keeping him attached to my breast until he could read.
I didn't stroke my own ego by having a small human glued to me, vulnerable, with me as his security blanket and savior.
So yes, I'm mom enough.

- GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi)
- PCI Express 2.0 x16
Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
Great card for the price 12/07/2012
This review is from: EVGA SuperClocked 012-P3-1573-AR GeForce GTX 570 HD w/Display-Port (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
- REASON: Great card, I am ordering my second GTX-570 because I'd like to use SLI and get a bit more performance for my gaming. Using a single card you'll be able to play most new games at ultra/high graphics settings with a decent fps, but lately I'm finding I'm only getting 30 fps or even lower.
- PRICE: I don't have it in the budget for the latest and greatest so I figure running dual 570's should do the trick without spending a lot of money. Very affordable option for those looking for a decent card and wanting to play the newer games and get the best graphics.
- PERFORMANCE: You can overclock them, but you don't really need to deal with that. Overclocking just overheats them, but for the most part the built in fans keep it steady, haven't had any issues. I do livestreaming so they are put to the test and hold up well.
- Haven't had any issues, they're getting a bit dated now as far as performance and benchmarking, but that's expected.
Other Thoughts:
Haven't had any issues, just looking to upgrade to dual GTX-570's and keep my machine up to date and get a higher fps for streaming my games live.

Where I stayed
Bareo (or Bario as we know it) is a 50 min flight from Miri in a twin-otter plane which holds 18 people. You are weighed with your bags BEFORE you get on the plane - say no more!! I flew over acres and acres of Palm Oil plantations and then jungle with brown winding rivers among this jungle area. We stopped at Marudi on the way - deposited some people and picked up a refrigerator, a bed, an outboard motor, lots of foodstuffs and other packages. The human cargo had to sit in the front of the plane and all the rest were put on the floor and seats behind us!! It was a sight to behold - the only things missing were the farm animals! The pilot and co-pilot chatted to us from the cockpit as we flew - they had the connecting door between the flight deck and passenger area open all the time!! Anyway, we all arrived safely and had a smooth flight.
The airport at Bario is just a tiny strip and the plane looked like a child's toy as the pilot swung it around on this strip
In 1973 the Evangelical Missions came to this region and converted them all to Christianity. I went to a service on Sunday and it was a really happy occasion with lots of singing and tambourines and a LOOOONG sermon!! The services usually last abut 3 hours so those of you who complain about the length of our services, should give this one a try. I left after one and three quarter hours, mainly because I could not understand one word of their language. Many of these people attend a service every morning at 5.30 before they start work - a gong is rang to call people to prayer - this woke me up but I remained in bed!
The place where I stayed was beautiful - it was a converted longhouse and my bedroom was in the art gallery - how cool is that
There is no TV - no Internet access (only at the airport), no wi-fi and up until this year there was only one wind-up telephone in the grounds of the school, where the locals had to queue up and wait their turn to use this really old-fashioned phone!! Now there is a mobile phone connection but still no land lines - so they all have mobile phones - the first sign of ruining this peaceful and nomadic region of people. I suppose it had to come sometime - I am just glad I went there now because in another year the roads will be all sealed and concrete - no doubt there will be wi-fi and satellite TV and junk food - what a shame.
The first afternoon Stephen took me for an orientation of the area - saw the local school (where the children eat, sleep and learn and go home at week-ends to far away villages
I had 4 nights in Bario and it was the most peaceful place I have been to - I could have stayed another few nights - it had a most magical atmosphere and so laid-back. There are 4 rooms here for accommodation and at the time I was there, the visitors were from Kuala Lumpur, Brunei and Argentina - we all had dinner together in the evening - together with our hosts. On one of the days I went for a trek with the girl from Argentina (who lives in Japan) - the countryside is beautiful and you can hear a pin drop - it is that quiet - apart from the beautiful birds. It is amazing - not having the shackles of a western life-style - how contented these people are - it reminded me of my youth in Ireland, when you did not have a care in the world. It also reminded me of the very first time I visited Lourdes, (where Our Lady appeared to St Bernadette) - the serenity was so unexpected and quite surprising.
There is one very long hike one can do - by boat and foot - but the weather forecast was too unpredictable and it would mean fording rivers on foot, if the rains were very heavy - so, I decided to be sensible and just enjoy my immediate surroundings!
When Stephen and Tine (his wife) took me to the airport when I was due to leave, I felt quite sad to be saying good-bye to them and Bario - I had a most wonderful time there and am honoured to be part of that place for 4 days.

Check out Secret Life star Megan Park's Anti-Fur Ad!

Megan Park is joining Lea Michele, Khloe Kardashian, Carrie Underwood and more in Peta's ban against fur. The Secret Life of the American Teenager star released her ad this week in Toronto urging her fans to choose faux fur over the real deal. "The way they get fur is awful and it's horrible and I think that people just don't want to think about it," she said. Megan's ad definitely pulls at the heartstrings. Who would want to hurt a cute pup?
Do you think it's effective or goes too far? What do you think about wearing fur? Share your thoughts in the comment section!

Ask anyone at Campbellsville/Taylor County Rescue and they'll tell you seconds count. And if you ever need Rescue, chances are they'll respond quickly.
The average response time for Rescue in July was 7.46 minutes. While there is no set standard, the national average is 9 minutes.
Rescue Director Allen Bottoms was pleasantly surprised with the average response times. This isn't a statistic that he checks often.
"We're pleased with that time," he said.
The Taylor County Courthouse will soon look different inside, but not just because Taylor Circuit Clerk Rodney Burress' office won't be there.
Many offices in the building will shift locations after Burress moves his office to the nearly completed Taylor County Judicial Center.
A committee to coordinate the move met Thursday to discuss the changes in office and storage space.
They are the best of the best. They've earned the highest rank the Boy Scouts of America can bestow. The six members of Boy Scout Troop 149 in Campbellsville are now Eagle Scouts.
And to have six scouts from one troop earn that distinction is nearly impossible.
In fact, according to the Boy Scouts of America, only about 5 percent of all Scouts earn the top honor. Add Spencer Dalton, Kris Spegal, Zach Bottoms, Andrew Eppers, Tyler Bland and Matt Eppers to the short list.
Children need proper nutrients to grow strong and healthy, but treats and serving sizes also need to be limited so that children will not develop weight and health problems.
Taylor Regional Hospital will host a class that will assist caregivers in learning principles of good nutrition and how to involve children in food preparation. Healthy snacks will be prepared and served during class.

Magistrates have agreed to pay an outstanding bill for work on the now complete Courthouse Square and Streetscape renovation projects.
But they have also agreed to hold off on paying nearly $6,000 in project change orders that some officials say weren't approved before completed.
If paid, the change orders would put the project at more than $30,000 over budget. And officials involved aren't sure how the project's cost rose above its budget and who exactly is responsible.

Participants needed for Running Study
A research project at the University of Roehampton is currently looking to recruit endurance runners for a project, which is investigating the effects of rinsing the mouth with different carbohydrate solutions on 10K running performance. Recent research has reported that rinsing (but not swallowing) a carbohydrate solution activates the same area of the brain that is activated when a carbohydrate solution is actually drunk, and that cycling performance is improved. We are looking to see if running performance could also be improved by using this technique and whether there would be any differences in performance times if different concentrations of carbohydrate solutions are used.
So what will you have to do?
If you agree to take part in this study, you will be required to complete a VO2max test on a treadmill, a familiarisation trial and three 10k races preceded by a 90 min preload at 65 % VO2max, also on a treadmill, in which you rinse your mouth with either a carbohydrate solution (two different solutions) or a placebo solution. You also need to keep a food diary for 24-h before your first visit to the laboratory.
So what are the benefits of taking part in this study?
In return for participating, you will receive feedback on your fitness, VO2max and if desired, nutritional feedback. You will also get insight in how studies are done, and you would get the results of the study when it is finished.
So who are we looking for?
I am looking for male runners aged 18-50 years, with at least 2 years running experience. You will also need to currently be undertaking 2 days of endurance training a week.
Contact Information
If you are interested and would like more details please contact Lars Guren by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone 0776 55 57615
What do you class as 2 days of endurance training p/week ?
Also, how many times would one need to visit your lab?
I'm 26 and knock out around a 38min 10k
Just to make sure that the people joining the study are able to finish the study, as you will be running for about 2 1/2 hour without stopping. Please send me an email if interested, and I can give you more information about the study.
Quick question - when will this be starting? Currently injured at the minute but planning on lowering my 10k pb over the summer and Roehampton isnt to far from me!
I need to be done with my testing at the end of July, so if you recover from your injury, it should be fine. Please send me an email if you are interested and want some more information.
Probably a bit early for me, don't think I will be racing again until late-July / Mid-August, so the thought of 3 x 10k races before EO-July doesnt sound feasible Thanks for getting back on that, good luck with your research

Images: KC bomb squad investigates suspicious car
Bomb threat closes downtown streets for hours
What started as a quiet Friday in downtown Kansas City quickly turned to a tense situation shortly after noon, drawing FBI and bomb squad investigators to a car in the 600 block of East 12th Street.
In the end, the FBI said nothing suspicious was found inside the vehicle at the Fletcher Daniels State Office building.
KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reported that bomb squad members were called to the area about 12:15 p.m., and focused their attention on the car parked in a handicapped spot.
Police sources told Mahoney that a man parked at the state office building Friday afternoon and then walked into the federal building, asking to why he was on a terrorist watch list.
Police spokeswoman Sgt. Marisa Barnes said a federal bomb-sniffing dog "hit" upon something in the man's parked car, and federal officers then called police.
The state office building was evacuated as a precaution. Some workers in the federal building were given the option of leaving early for the day, Mahoney reported.
A worker at the federal building told KMBC's Cliff Judy that employees on the south side of the complex were told to move to the north side early in the afternoon. The man said he has worked in the federal complex for several years and this is the first time the entire building has been affected by a threat.
Mahoney reported that the Jackson County Jail, which is in proximity to the suspicious car, was put on lock down.
A 5,000-foot, 1-mile temporary flight restriction was also put into place about 2 p.m. It was lifted about 4:40 p.m.
Investigators essentially took the car apart. At first, a bomb squad robot was sent in and removed a green blanket and a tire from the trunk of the car. Shortly after 4 p.m., bomb squad members, in full protective gear, walked up to the car and took a closer look at the vehicle.
FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton released a statement late in the afternoon, saying nothing of concern was found in the car.
"While the individual was detained and is being questioned , there is no public safety concern and we determined no personnel inside the federal building were in harm's way. The individual walked into the Federal Building to clarify whether he was under investigation by a federal agency. The individual did not make a threat of a bomb or explosive device being contained in his vehicle. Federal Law prohibits the FBI from discussing whether a person may or may not be included on national security related lists. Local Police and FBI Agents acting with an abundance of caution responded appropriately with the initial limited information they had based on witness accounts of what happened. A police canine sniffed the person's car and alerted to a possible explosive substance. A closer look has determined that no items of concern have been located in the individuals vehicle. Again, the primary concern was for the public's safety which made the actions today necessary."

@Ronnie Roper: I was waiting to see if someone else would mention that connection to print design! I think a lot of web designers came from print/graphic design (I did – before moving into web development), and these designs remind me of those days.

Here is an other one. No heavy use of paper but …
Biz Apr 13 2009
Very interesting paper-like designs. They are very good as a refresher after so many boring generic web designs.
Daniel Apr 13 2009
Sorry, pls delet the last two comments. Didn´t read that the comment is awaiting for moderation. Sorry for this.
jane Apr 13 2009
Great examples. I have always viewed paper in web design as connecting back with our print roots…for those that have roots in print design..
Zoheb Apr 13 2009
This was very interesting to look at. Thanks for sharing…
It gives me a lot of ideas!
Sean Apr 14 2009
Really inspiring designs! Where is the "forward to a friend" link on your blog posts?
I find my self wanting to send these posts to friends but hate having to copy and paste the link every time.
Its a good idea to generate new visitors.. Just a thought :)
myDevWares Apr 14 2009
Very inspirational designs. Now perhaps you write a post with plenty of free paper resources (brushes, textures, etc.)?
Eric Franklin Apr 14 2009
Thanks for including my site on the list!
Jacob Gube Apr 14 2009
@Sean: Good idea – I'll see what I can do about that.
@myDevWares: Good idea, but in the meantime, you can check out the Six Revisions freebies section for Grungy Paper Textures and Cardboard Textures and Objects set which are free for use in any project.
Matt Smith Apr 15 2009
Hi Jacob
Thanks for including my design on your list (dorsetwalk). My back ground is also in print design, and I still do a little from time to time (currently doing art direction for an extreme sports magazine). I find most of my work involves the web these days simply because I find it so much more interesting than print – there's so much more to learn and each project can be so different from the last. Do you do much print work these days or are is your work all digital now?
Great site, by the way – I'm currently working my way through your jQuery tutorial list, and will definitely be back to check our the rest of the articles.
Dave Rau Apr 15 2009
I designed the first site (the peace river) a few years back, but have long been using my own scanned and photographed old paper textures, stains, page tears and rips, masking tape, grungy paint splatters, etc. I take a lot of inspiration from our messy and decaying world, so my textures and analogue elements are a hat tip to the past, but also a bit of a fight against anonymous corporate design that's dull and uninspired.
if you're looking for more worn elements check out my site and my offerings on istock:
p.s. I use a lot of my grungy textures and elements in t-shirt and wallet designs on http://www.ResistToday.com
Jacob Gube Apr 15 2009
@Dave Rau: Thank you for the valuable tips and sharing your technique/experience. Those t-shirts are rockin', I may pick up a couple!
Vedoza Apr 16 2009
nice post, I love paper designs.
aravind Apr 16 2009
another great post.
I think this post would have been more better if you had included some related tutorials as well.
Gary Callaghan Apr 17 2009
I've always loved the use of paper in today's modern web designs it gives them a sort of homely feel that's my opinion. As aravind said you should include a follow up post including tutorials on how to create such websites or even just a navigation tutorial.

Ashely Adams Sep 11 2009
I think I've seen a few web designs that used paper as a design element…….they do look quite good. In fact, it's very interesting the way they've used them. I liked The Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster and Hillwood Residential the most. Thanks for sharing.
Svetainiu kurimas Oct 13 2009
The real challenge when using paper, especially with lines or patterns is to synchronise and harmonize the text/imagary that appears above it.
stacey Jul 23 2010
Web design is also plays the major in the website.
dev Aug 30 2010
i like the top 3rd most.
grafiMike Oct 28 2010
Glad that there's a polish site too :))
Lisa Smith Sep 28 2011
I like the 5th one from the top, its a great design

It's not magic, it's not even unique, and its appeal is niche at best, but that doesn't mean you should dismiss the Apple Magic Trackpad offhand. We'd certainly suggest you think carefully about whether you want to spend around £60 on a device that doesn't really add anything new to your computing experience, but that's not to say the Magic Trackpad doesn't have its merits.
Although it's a relatively minor consideration, the industrial design of the Magic Trackpad definitely resides in the list of "plus" attributes. If you're familiar with the dimensions of Apple's aluminium keyboards, you'll find it unsurprising that the Magic Trackpad lines up exactly with one, when placed side by side. In figures it measures 133mm x 130mm x 183mm at its highest point, dropping to just 4.6mm at its lowest.
The tube-like section of aluminium that elevates the rear of the Magic Trackpad also houses its two AA batteries. Obviously any cells will do the trick, but if you want to play the purist, Apple supplies its own charger kit that comes with six batteries - enough to have two charging while the other four power your keyboard and mouse. Obviously there are no wires - perish the thought! - so connection is over Bluetooth; as a nice but pointless touch a special TrackPad icon pops up when one is found by your Mac.
The touch-sensitive area is 130mm square and has the same aluminium-coloured glass finish as the trackpads on the MacBook Pro range. It's more of a design understatement than something to remark upon, but it's certainly an attractive device.
The surface area is just the right size to fit an entire hand on at once, and there's just enough elevation at the back to put your hand at a comfortable angle when resting it. As MacBook users will know, the surface is finished such that it has a good balance between being smooth enough that frequent use isn't irritating, while still providing enough friction that you know your gestures are registered.
The entire surface works as one large button, as we'd expect given that MacBook trackpads work the same way, with the feet at the front clicking into the trackpad when pressed down. The action not only feels satisfyingly mechanical, but also emits an almost tactile "click" noise, imparting confidence in the build quality.
Sensitivity is excellent, as long as you don't turn the pointer movement speed up too high in the Trackpad System Preferences pane. Higher levels not only reduce accuracy, but also the amount of trackpad space that you'll be using. For most applications where you're not moving across large screen distances, you'll rarely be using the full surface area of the Magic Trackpad anyway -- especially with pointer acceleration enabling fine movement when required, while also letting you track across large distances quickly when you need to.

They made this for a bet, right? Otherwise, how on earth could such an utterly pointless idea have made it from R&D to production?
PS I love the comment, "when using a mouse, most movements are made from the shoulder and elbow". Really? That must be one big mouse you're using.
"And, while it's of course possible to make fine adjustments with your fingers when using a mouse, most movements are made from the shoulder and elbow which are both far less dexterous than your digits."
I beg to differ. I have been using a mouse for many years and input controls are made from my fingers and wrist, not my elbow and shoulder.
"And, while it's of course possible to make fine adjustments with your fingers when using a mouse, most movements are made from the shoulder and elbow which are both far less dexterous than your digits."
If you rest your forearm and elbow on the desk you're only using your wrist and hand..
You'd only be using the shoulder and elbow if you lifed your whole arm up off the desk which would be very uncomfortable..? How do you use your mouse normally Hugo?! :O
Am I the only who can see all the Macbook Pro owners rushing out to bag one of these?!
Gamers do it with their wrists! - could be a bumper sticker
I once read in an article on calligraphy that said the way to improve your handwriting is to use the whole arm from the shoulder and not the wrist. I think it's still a better idea than PC touch screens though.
There are two camps of mouse users, some use the wrist others the arm. Although actually I vary depending on what I'm doing and what mouse I'm using (but maybe that's just a result of the peripherals at our London office being nigh-on useless?).
"It's not magic, it's not even unique."
Indeed. It's a concession that cramming multitouch onto the Magic Mouse was a bit awkward. Has to be said, you were able to obtain iPods a lot quicker than this. We've read all the reviews - bit pricey, nice consistency with keyboard, does what it says on the tin.
Yeah, we're a bit late to the party, but we finally wrangled one out of Apple and thought it better to have a review than not. Allegedly people do in fact use the search box - crazy, right?
Apple design department overlook USB for the humble battery. Unless i'm thick and overlooked this, I consider this a right howler.
@ravmania errr Macbook Pro owners have a multitouch trackpad, why would they want two ?
It does have to be said when I'm at work using my laptop I still sometimes try and multitouch :o)
I was going to rant about Apple's arrogance and form-over-function ethos, embodied by this gimmicky toy, but it's a stale argument, so I won't.
@hank: Great idea, but then you'd need a loose USB cable or charger dock lying around on your desk. Not a very 'Apple' approach, they'd rather have you swapping out batteries.
Maybe your just a camp mouse user Hugo ... ;-)
Yes, all valid points - but lets not forget people: this is an Apple product meaning the muppets will be queueing up for it ...!!
And I was wondering who would buy a notebook keyboard for desktop system :) This product is bigger joke then mouse with one button.
I have a Mac Mini connected to my living room TV as a HTPC & general PC. I struggled for about 18 months to find the right control to use while sitting on the sofa or beanbag (tried airmouse, etc...) & this trackpad has proved to be ideal.
It is expensive & I can't see it being used on a desktop, but it's the best solution that I've found for controlling a PC/Mac from a sofa (probably not a large segment of the market though).
Would this work with the PS3? It would be a great feature to use for Youtube and things, seeing as Sony have yet to update software for the Sony Bluetooth remote to actually move the cursor.
@Oh Dae-Su: It should work, it's just a Bluetooth HID after all, but I imagine driver-based features like multi-touch won't work.
Alternatively, there are keyboards with integrated touch pads that work with the PS3, like this:
or if you're feeling flush, this:
Got to be honest, I sometimes use an i7 MacBook Pro and when you use it for a while the sharp front edge does start to irritate your wrists, in fact, can make them quite sore! The Apple wireless keyboard, Magic trackpad and humongous Apple Cinema screen suits me just fine. I also like to use the same items with my Mac Pro. Stick to your ancient PC's and mice, prehistoric, essentially unchanged (other than the use of an LED rather that a ball) since the 80's. Thanks to Apple, PC's are moving forward, virus free and reliable. My Mrs is using a Sony Vaio VPCEC1S1E Windows 7 machine (fully loaded £1100) and it is quite simply not a patch on my Snow Leopard OS. Consequently, she uses my machines because hers crashes all the time! Typical Microsoft, 'let's let the public Beta test our operating systems'. When are the public gonna wake up!!! They've been doing this for years! Honestly, move to Apple, MSDOS is garbage, and always has been. Having used Apples now for about 5 years, I have NEVER received an error message, it just works. Check these out http://www.hongkiat.com/blo...
No, it is not as good as a mouse,but is good for a trackpad-better than the trackpads on Apple laptops-more sensitive,faster, easier to use.

Amid growing water shortages in parts of the United States, more communities are considering tapping their sewage treatment plants as a new source of drinking water.
The conversion of wastewater into tap water could help meet increased demand for one of life's most essential resources, according to the article "Treating Sewage For Drinking Water" scheduled for the Jan. 28 issue of Chemical & Engineering News.
C&EN Associate Editor Jyllian Kemsley notes in the article that some communities have used recycled wastewater for decades to replenish their drinking water supplies and wastewater often finds agricultural use for irrigation. Droughts, environmental concerns, and population growth now are forcing water utilities to consider adapting or expanding the practice, Kemsley explains.
Earlier in January, for instance, California approved operation of the Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF), the largest water reclamation plant in the nation. It will yield 70 million gallons per day of drinkable water from sewage. That's about 10 percent of the district's daily water demand for its 2.3 million residents. Although AWPF's purification process is complex, it produces clean, pure water that meets or exceeds all drinking water standards, the article notes.

Machete-Wielding Man Killed by Panhandle Officer
Published April 23rd, 2012
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - A machete-wielding man was shot and killed by a Panama City police officer.
Police say the man was holding a machete and screaming in the middle of a street when officers arrived Sunday. They asked 40-year-old Clifton Delaine McKinney to put down the machete and surrender, but he refused.
The Panama City News Herald quoted neighbor Kathy Simmons saying it looked like McKinney planned to surrender until he charged the officers. Simmons says the man was swinging the machete wildly.
Panama City Police Chief John Van Etten says officers used a stun gun several times on McKinney, but it didn't have the effect it normally does. An officer then shot the man.
An investigation continues.

By getting involved in your community's decision-making YOU CAN HELP preserve land and reduce sprawl.
Urge your local board or council to adopt policies that:
- Encourage compact developments in areas with existing services like utilities, roads, and schools.
- Preserve natural areas and farmland.
Participate in the master plan revision process. Communities must revise their master plan every 5 years and are required by law to involve the public in that process.
Comment on possible zoning ordinance amendments. Zoning ordinance amendments require time for public participation and comment. Many communities have established citizen groups that help them identify ordinances and ordinance amendments to improve their land use planning decisions. Offer to participate in or start such a group in your community.
Comment on specific developments during a site plan review session. Voice concerns you may have about the development's impact on wetlands and other natural features in your community. Encourage designs that use land efficiently and employ effective ways to treat water runoff.

Housebuilder Bovis Homes reported a 74% jump in profit, helped by its focus on selling family homes in the relatively buoyant south of England, and said it expected a strong 2012.
Bovis, one of the smaller midcap London-listed housebuilders, reported a pretax profit of £32.1 million in 2011, up from £18.5 million a year earlier and narrowly beating a consensus forecast of £31.1 million provided by the company.
"This profit improvement has been delivered through ... increased volumes, improved sales prices and stronger margins," said chief executive David Ritchie.
"Looking forward, based on current market conditions continuing, increasing profits combined with further improvements in the use of capital will deliver a strongly increasing return on capital employed in 2012 and beyond."
Bovis is proposing a full-year dividend of 5p a share, a 67% increase from 2010.
The company said the average price of houses sold so far in 2012 was modestly ahead of its expectations and that it had entered the year with 568 houses on its order books, a 35% increase from the same period last year.
Bovis expected market conditions would still be tough in 2012 because of continued economic uncertainty in Britain but hoped a new government-backed mortgage indemnity scheme would help more first-time buyers get on the property ladder.
The average private selling price of Bovis homes rose 5% to £180,100 in 2011.
Bovis, along with other housebuilders, profited in a stagnant market by concentrating on higher margin land, particularly in the prosperous south of England and selling houses rather than cheaper apartments.
Housebuilders Barratt and Redrow also reported profit jumps last week and said they expected a pick-up in sales to continue in 2012.Reuse content

Battle bikini-line bumps by changing your razor frequently. Not only will your shave be closer, you'll also avoid bacteria buildup on the blade, which could otherwise cause irritation. More Tips >
The whines of the Millennial generation have been heard across the universe. If there is one thing Millennials have taught humankind, it's how to complain about the slight inconveniences of living in the first world. Here are seven first world problems you will only understand if you were born between the early 1980s and 2000s.
1. Not knowing whether to Tweet, Facebook, Snapchat, GChat, text or send a freaking carrier pigeon to your friend. Asking your friend what they're doing is not as easy as it used to be. We've got many, many options. Sometimes it can take a whole minute to decide how to contact someone. And sometimes that decision can feel so hard we just give up.
2. Growing up a snowflake child. Do you know what it's like growing up being told the sun rises just to shine on you … only to find out you're pretty much as super special as everyone else? So when we don't get that second interview (more on that later), we are left wishing everyone in the world would be replaced with our mothers. They would have hired us on the spot.
3. Not getting a decent-paying (or any) job after college. Thanks, Internet, we get it. We're just lazy and spoiled snowflake children, right? Sure the economy is bad, but you just got to try harder, say all the people who grew up when the economy was fine and dandy. Too bad our great-grandparents weren't around. They'd understand our struggle #GreatDepression.
4. Being able to buy pretty much anything we want, when we want, from where we want. Who really shops in stores anymore? I mean, you can always find something cheaper online. Plus, it just shows up at your door a few days after you click a few buttons and surrender your payment information. It all happens so fast it's almost like it didn't even happen at all. And then you check your bank account. Whoops, definitely happened. OK, I lied earlier, because we definitely go to stores to return things we bought online because they don't fit … or more likely because we need our money back in order to feed ourselves.
5. Running out of dry shampoo. Other (I can only imagine greasier) generations went without this miracle product for a long time. Reportedly, they sometimes would sprinkle (and not conveniently spray) talcum powder to soak up their excess hair grease. We are
spoiled blessed with having dry shampoo to instantly gratify our desire for clean, silky locks. So what to do with post-I-danced-my-heart-out-on-the-dance-floor hair when you don't have dry shampoo on hand? Or, even worse, when your dry shampoo runs out when you've only done half your hair? Are we actually expected to spend our precious energy, time and youth showering? Obviously we need an online store that both sells dry shampoo and does same-morning delivery.
6. Having to figure out the correct hashtag or handle. So you go to your friend's birthday party and get your Instagram at the ready, but was it #JamesTurns21 or #LegallyJames? You can't be the lame-o who uses the wrong hashtag. The horror. You'd rather show up to the party wearing the same dress as someone (which would at least be share-worthy, #twinsies). It seems everything has a specific hashtag or handle (often @NothingResemblingActualName) these days, and not using the right one is like singing along to the wrong song at a concert.
7. Trying to read online articles that aren't in "Millennial Format." You click a link to an article and you see paragraphs of varying lengths separated by nothing but space, and you're like: You expect me to read that? Millennial Format, as it shall hence be called, is a time-saving, skim-reading-friendly way to lay out an article. It includes lists (you're welcome, readers), gifs and super short stanzas. It's not because we're lazy … it's because we're "internet efficient."There are so many first world problems that only Millennials understand. Share them with us @TheStyleGlossy #FWMP
I think we can all agree that being a passive princess is not the way to achieve a rich, happy and adventure-filled life. It's time to give Sleeping Beauty a rest, which is just what Disney has done in Maleficent. The movie instead tells the fairy tale from the perspective of the villain who cast the spell that sent Ms. Beauty into a long-term stupor. Played by Angelina Jolie, Maleficent is a reminder that action -- not slumber -- is the modern girl's mantra.
And here, from three modern self-help books, is some advice on how to cast a spell of empowerment in your own life.
Practice Self-Love Meditation
You know how you're always telling your best friends how amazing they are and that they deserve all the goodies in life -- a great guy, great job and great apartment? Well, it's time to turn that love on yourself.
"You can choose to wish yourself well," writes psychologist Barbara L. Fredrickson in Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do, and Become. "You deserve this kindness as much as anybody."
Sit in a comfortable chair, your feet flat on the floor. Take two or three deep breaths, bringing your awareness to your heart. When you're ready, repeat to yourself the classic wishes of what's known as loving-kindness.
May I feel safe and protected.
May I feel happy and peaceful.
May I feel healthy and strong.
May I live with ease.
Strengthen Your Stick-to-it-ness
Whether it's quitting smoking, getting to spin class more than once a week or cutting down on chips and cookies, we all need willpower to reach our goals. In her book, The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters and What You Can Do to Get More of It, psychologist Kelly McGonigal says that we'll all experience lapses in self control now and then. Instead of being ambushed by these willpower dips, prepare for them.
Ask yourself: When am I most likely to be tempted to give in? How am I most likely to let myself get distracted from my goal? What will I say to myself to give myself permission to procrastinate?
Imagine yourself in the scenario of facing a willpower failure and turn it into a willpower success by identifying specific actions you could take to stick to your resolution. These might include re-focusing on your motivation, getting yourself away from the temptation or calling a friend for support.
Make a Where/When Plan
When you wish upon a star it might make no difference who you are. But, as you've no doubt learned by now, wishing alone won't make your dreams come true. What you need is what Shane J. Lopez, a Gallup scientist and author of
Making Hope Happen: Create the Future You Want for Yourself and Others,
calls a "when/where" plan. It's simple and straightforward: Each time you set a goal, choose the day and time you will start working on it and the place where you will work. For example, if you want to clean up the thousands of email messages that have piled up in your inbox, your plan might look like this:
When: Saturday, June 14 after yoga.
Where: At Intelligentsia Coffee Bar. Bring laptop.
If you need a reminder, you can use a website like futureme.org to write yourself a note that will be delivered to your inbox on the day of your "when." It's a method that's way more reliable than a crystal ball.
Got an hour or two to get beautiful in the morning before you head to work? Of course you don't! We all lead jam-packed, overbooked, running-late, forgot-to-set-the-alarm kinds of lives. And that's not going to change anytime soon. Still, with some savvy planning and smart product choices, you can leave home looking polished and near perfect -- even when you're slipping your shoes on as you head out the door. Here's how to look gorgeous in under five.
Embrace Multi-Tasking Products
Drugstore shelves are loaded with genius multi-tasking products that shave minutes off your beauty routine -- without sacrificing results. My morning regimen has a lot fewer steps now that I'm using a tinted sunscreen instead of a separate sunscreen and foundation; a two-in-one shampoo-conditioner; a moisturizing body wash; and an amazing BB cream for hair that controls frizz, protects against hot tool damage, helps to soften and smooth locks and boosts shine all at once.
Do Your Sunday Prep
Every Sunday evening (OK, on some Sunday evenings), I spend an hour or so washing and chopping all the great veggies and fruit I picked up from the farmer's market and putting them in little serving size containers. And to maximize my time, I also apply my favorite self tanner to my legs and a deep conditioning mask to my hair. From the cutting board I go straight to the shower. By the time I've dried off I have healthy hair that will look gorgeous all week long and bronzed skin that's ready for leg-revealing summer dresses, skirts or shorts so I don't need to get into a sweat when I'm deciding what to wear. I also have my fridge loaded with good-for-me salads, sliced fruit and ready-for-the-stir-fry skillet veggies, so making healthy eating choices will be even easier than ordering in pizza. Plus, I feel virtuous and de-stressed -- a definite beauty boost!
Anticipate Insane Mornings
I live in Los Angeles, so I have an earthquake kit stocked and ready. I hope I never have to use it, but I regularly call upon my other emergency kit: Stored in a clear acrylic shoe box I stash in a bathroom cabinet are all the essentials for getting ready when you have absolutely no time to get ready. I call it my "slept-late-gotta-go" beauty kit. The contents include: dry shampoo; a foolproof pot of sheer color I can apply to lips, cheeks and eyelids with my fingertips; a tinted brush-on brow gel so I don't have to fuss with powders or pencils; a volumizing-and-lengthening mascara with a big chubby brush that will pump up my lashes with a single coat, and a body lotion with SPF 30 that has a tiny bit of shimmer to it. Use these products and you can clock out, looking fabulous, in three minutes or less.
Dryness … breakage … frizz … the words alone can make your hair stand on end! Worse still: Using the wrong hair products can further the damage instead of repairing it. Fortunately, there is hope for getting limp locks back to gorgeous. Here's why your hair woes started in the first place and what ingredients you need to look for now to make your strands shine once again.
Hair Woe No. 1: Dryness
Parched hair is a result of exposure to extreme heat (think 410 F flat iron), chemical treatments and the sun or wind. These offenders strip hair of its moisture and natural oils, says Vernelle Murphy, Owner of Salon V in New York.
Hair Rx: What you need to do now is return moisture to your hair with a combination of water-based products and nourishing oils. Two ingredients to look for: Panthenol, found in moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, serves a moisturizer and humectant for thirsty strands. Natural oils, like argan oil, have the power to transform your hair, adding shine to dull tresses.

Hair Woe No. 2: Breakage
The breakage breakdown: Hair that is weak due to damage caused by over-processed and even over-styled hair will split, getting worse over time. "Dry, damaged hair has a rough cuticle and tends to matte up, so when you brush through rough hair, it rips the hair, causing more breakage," says Murphy.
Hair Rx: The key is to rebuild the hair's structure with strengthening ingredients. Look for products with keratin, a protein that gives hair its elasticity, in your shampoo. Since breakage is often a result of dry and vulnerable strands, also use products with glycerin, a conditioning alcohol. Remember, never brush hair when it's wet!

Hair Woe No. 3: Frizz
That pesky layer of fuzz that often appears during humid weather is caused by overly dry hair that is trying to absorb the air's moisture.
Hair Rx: Keep hair smooth and moisturized with such ingredients as argan oil or avocado oil. Products containing silicone ingredients, such as dimethicone, will also coat each strand, giving you a sleeker look.SEE ALSO: Argan Oil: How It Changed My Hair From Hay to "Hello, Gorgeous!"

Fly anglers are offered several options - the ever popular "Chuck and Duck"
method, which employs a thin diameter running line a weight and most often a
tandem dropper fly rig. This rig is a very effective method for pursuing fish
in larger rivers that typically hold on or near the bottom. We generally use
7-8 wt. rods for steelhead and 9-10 wt. rods for salmon. Both
configurations are outfitted with high quality fly reels loaded with a
thin running line.

Of particular note last week was an interview with our floundering Prime Minister David Cameron in the Daily Telegraph in which he appeared to accept that his economic policy had failed, warning that austerity would have to last until 2020, plus that there were more spending cuts to come. He appears to now be merely (mis-)managing decline, and has absolutely no clue how to turn the economy around; more of the same won't do.
The data over the last week were dominated by bad news but did have a couple of positive signs on the economy, including an unexpectedly large drop in CPI inflation, which now stands at 2.4 per cent in June, down from 2.8 per cent in May. This is the third month in a row that the annual rate has fallen. It is now at its lowest since November 2009, when it was 1.9 per cent. I have every expectation it will be below the MPC's 2% target within three months or so.
There was also a small drop in unemployment of 65,000 on the rolling quarter, although this was dominated by a fall in London of 50,000. It does look like the puzzle over why the labour market has held up so well is explained by the fact that around 100,000 people have been hired over the last couple of months into temporary Olympics-related jobs. Once they are over, expect unemployment to rise again.
But the bad news was pretty awful. The reports from the Bank of England's agents suggested that private-sector employers do not expect to increase hiring over the next six months. The Bank of England's Trends in Lending Survey showed that the annual rate of growth in the stock of lending to UK businesses was negative in the three months to May. The stock of lending to small and medium-sized enterprises also contracted.
Wage growth continues to fall; weekly earnings grew by only 1.5%, which still implies continuing falls in real earnings, and that is likely to keep consumer confidence at its current low levels. It was unsurprising then to find that data on retail sales were, to say the least, disappointing, rising by a meagre 0.1% in June –, a much smaller increase than was expected by the consensus (0.5%).
The government's deficit was again larger than expected in June. A deficit of £14.5 billion compared with £13.9 billion in June of last year means spending so far this tax year is some 11.7% higher than for the same period last year, against the government's target of reducing the deficit by 4.6% this year. Chris Williamson of Markit noted that "the risk that is materialising here is that implementing austerity in a period of weak domestic and overseas economic growth is having the opposite to the desired effect on deficit reduction in the short term". It's hard to argue with that.
Then the IMF made two interventions – both of which were terrible news for Slasher Osborne, who has on numerous occasions claimed that the IMF supported everything he did, no matter what it was, and his Plan A was the best plan designed by anybody, ever, even though it wasn't. First, in its latest World Economic Outlook, the IMF reduced its growth forecast for the UK by more than any other G8 country in 2012 with a rise in GDP of just 0.2%, compared with a previous forecast of 0.8% and 1.4% in 2013 – a 0.6 percentage point cut from its previous 2% forecast. In contrast, it raised its forecast for growth in Spain by 0.4% for 2012.
Then on Friday, it produced its latest mid-term report on the state of the UK economy, and it was devastating. Its key points were that recovery has stalled and post-crisis repair is likely to be more prolonged than initially envisaged. The IMF argued there was room for more expansionary demand policies, as well as additional monetary stimulus via quantitative easing and "possibly cutting the policy rate as well as better targeting of transfers to those most in need".
Fiscal easing measures in such a scenario, it argued, should focus on higher infrastructure spending and temporary tax cuts that are targeted (for example, to lower-income households) so as to boost their multipliers, as these measures they suggested are more credibly temporary than increases in current spending. This has given Ed Balls lots of ammunition to fire.
As my old friend Jonathan Portes noted in his must read blog (http://notthetreasuryview.blogspot.co.uk), paragraph 43, page 38 of the IMF report was of particular importance as it "explodes whatever is left of the credibility of the analysis underlying the government's fiscal strategy".
Indeed it does. This is the relevant part: "Further slowing consolidation would likely entail the government reneging on its net debt mandate. Would this trigger an adverse market reaction? Such hypotheticals are impossible to answer definitively, but there is little evidence that it would.
"In particular, fiscal indicators such as deficit and debt levels appear to be weakly related to government bond yields for advanced economies with monetary independence. Though such simple relationships are only suggestive, they indicate that a moderate increase in the UK's debt-to-GDP ratio may have small effects on UK sovereign risk premia… Bond yields in the US and UK during the Great Recession have also correlated positively with equity price movements, indicating that bond yields have been driven more by growth expectations than fears of a sovereign crisis."
As Portes notes, the IMF agrees that the reason gilt yields are low is weak growth, as I have argued on numerous occasions, not confidence as Slasher has tried to claim, saying that he could "loosen policy with minimal risk and probable benefit". He should of course, and now.
The IMF did not say when the government should act, as politically it is hard for it to tell one of its paymasters what to do, but pressure is mounting to act to get growth going. That pressure will become almost impossible to resist on Wednesday if the first estimate of gross domestic product growth published by the Office for National Statistics for the second quarter of 2012 comes in negative as I suspect it will.
Capital Economics, for example, which I trust, is forecasting –0.5%, which seems credible. That would mean three quarters of negative growth in a row and five of the last seven. I gather that panic has set in at the Treasury on the need to do something fast. About bloody time.Reuse content

Atheist chaplains in the military? Pundits at Fox News joke that this is an oxymoron and that Humanists/atheists do not deserve a place in the Military Chaplaincy program.
But for the freethinking servicemen and women who represent the second largest "conscience demographic" behind the military personnel who identify as Christian, it is not a joking matter.
This Thursday, we will be privileged to speak with Jason Torpy, the President of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers (MAAF) who will tell us why Humanist (or atheist) chaplains are needed. MAAF has been at the forefront in advocating for atheist chaplains to serve the non-believers in the military, and Jason will dispel some of the myths promulgated by those opposed to the idea that atheists and freethinkers should have equal rights to spiritual counseling in the military.
Torpy is a graduate of West Point and a veteran of the Iraq war. In addition to serving as President of MAAF, he serves on the board of the American Humanist Association.
The show is scheduled for Thursday night, November 17, 2011, at 6:00 Pacific, 7:00 Mountain, 8:00 Central and 9:00 Eastern time. The call in number is 914-338-0452 and as always, our web-based chat room will be open. You will need a log in name to participate in the chat room, which is anonymous and free of charge.
