Hi and welcome to the board from Iowa. This is an awesome doll quilt. What a luck girl who received this as a gift. Thank you for sharing.
Desiderata (Max Ehrmann) - Walk placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
It is adorable! Your friend's daughter will love it. Great job doing such a small piece. And welcome to the board. You will love it here.
I love it. The colors are awesome!

All are sets are now in the hands of the "Postal Gods"! Whoo Hoo!
All are sets are now in the hands of the "Postal Gods"! Whoo Hoo!
barri the postage will all depend on how you pack the envelopes, the thinner the cheaper on postage. they have to fit through the first class letter slot for the lower fees or the envelope gets classified as a package and the postage costs more.
someone mailed me ps squares in one of the card sized envelopes (i.e. birthday card) instead of a legal sized one so she was able to spread them all out for the lower postage. i never thought to use the card sized envelopes as they are taller and have more room to spread the squares out.
with practice you will learn to package the envelopes thinner for the lower postage.:thumbup:
I bought small brown envelopes at Dollar Tree, and they are about the size of the b'day cards. That is why I was able to spread them out, and change the postage. I thought $.85 was good.
I have a list for my mom to take to the post office when she goes to the gym. Everything is packed for the swap. I don't have priority stamps, and I am busy as crud.
Hi, I have browsed this thread several times and have decided to put my Accuquilt Go strip set to work...They do turn out perfect. I'm a little confused with several things...how do you get all 30 sets in baggies flat enough in one little envelope? Do all the sets go to one person? Would I be able to wrap 30 sets of 50 separately then in an envelope with the SASE same size envelope. Will I be swapping with 30 different persons? Who do I send the envelope to? As you can see..I'm confused and don't want to take on more than I can handle... Honchey
honchey for this swap the limit is 30 sets of 50 different fabrics. the sets can be identical but each of the 50 fabrics in a set must be different with no duplicates. each set would be bagged separately, include your name & board name with each baggie then all of these sets (how ever many you choose to make up to 30) would be mailed in one large envelope to mariposa. included with this mailing to mariposa you will include a large sase with as much postage on it as it takes for you to mail your package to mariposa.
a couple of weeks after the deadline date, mariposa swaps all of the baggies received and mail backs a package to the participants with baggies from the other swappers. you will need to send a private message (pm) to mariposa and let her know you want to participate. once you have all of your squares cut, send a pm to mariposa and request her mailing address.
many of us use sandwich baggies to put our individual sets in. some of us use the clear plastic jewelry bags from craft stores to put our sets in. either way is fine. i have found that around $3.30-$3.60 is a good estimate for the sase return postage. i have taken my sase with baggies to the post office before to have them weighed and that is about near what the postage is. i am trying to include just a bit more over what the usps estimate is to account for the different size baggies used and the weight of the various fabrics. i hope this answers your questions.
cmon and join us. you know you want to.:D
I guess the US post office is making money off me.. I use the priority envelopes.
They make $ from me as well- I use the "padded" flat rate envelopes! :) Easier for me too~
Well, I am 1/5 of the way thru...I cut 300 today...1200 to go... Honchey
Just wondering...does this swap occur on a regular basis or is this just a once off swap?

Tyreke Evans contract extension not likely, according to report
Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans looks poised to become a restricted free agent next offseason.
NBA.com's David Aldridge reported Monday that the Kings will likely pass on offering Evans a contract extension.
From Aldridge's report:
Evans has shown flashes in his first three seasons, but not enough to pique Sacramento's interest to give him a deal. The Kings will "probably not" be offering an extension, a source says.
Teams have until Oct. 31 to offer contract extensions to players from the 2009 draft class, who are slotted to become restricted free agents next summer. Aldridge details how that front is likely to be quiet — including with Evans, the fourth-year player who is perhaps the most notable of the crop. Evans has regressed after a stellar rookie season that saw him win Rookie of the Year honors while averaging 20 points, five rebounds and five assists per game. If Evans does end up testing the market as a restricted free agent, the Kings would have the opportunity to match any offer presented.

Mr. Clive V. Bennett
President & Chief Operating Officer
CEPH International Corporation
Urb. Villa Blanca Industrial Park
P.O. Box 8639
Caguas, PR 00726
Dear Mr. Bennett:
This letter is in reference to the inspection of your facility located at 65 Infanteria Avenue km. 13.0, Puerto Rico Industrial Park, Carolina, Puerto Rico 00985 from March 21 to April 22, 2005, by an investigator from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, San Juan District Office. The inspection revealed that the human drugs Omnicef OP 250mg/5mL and 125mg/5mL, manufactured by your firm, are adulterated within the meaning of 21 U.S.C. 351 (a) (2) (B) (Section 501(a) (2) (B) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Act)), as described below.
1. Failure to comply with Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 211.110(a) - The control procedures established to monitor the output and to validate the performance of those manufacturing processes that may be responsible for causing variability in the characteristics of the drug product are deficient. From 2002 to the present, your firm has been obtaining assay out-of specification results due to either low or high fill weight variations of the finished powder (Powder for Oral Suspension) products. Similar deficiencies were brought to your attention during our previous inspection of September 26, 2003. Your firm failed to implement the appropriate corrective
action to prevent the deficiency from recurring.
Your manufacturing processes are required to be robust and reproducible to assure that drug products comply with their predetermined specifications in meeting the requirements of the Act. Your manufacturing and quality control procedures have failed to identify, during filling operations, lots that are out-of-specification (OOS) for low or high fill weight.
During the manufacturing process of Omnicef OP, the following lots reported out-of-specification results for assay, content uniformity, or low fill weight after meeting the in-process weight check specifications:
*Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 250mg/5mL - 30mL
*Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 250mg/5mL - 30mL
*Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 125mg/5mL - 100mL
"Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 125mg/5mL- 100mL
*Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 125mg/5mL - 30mL
" Lot (validation lot manufactured in [redacted]), Omnicef 250mg/5mL - 60mL
*Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 125mg/5mL- 100mL
*Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 125mg/5mL - 60mL
*Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 125mg/5mL -100mL
*Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 125mg/5mL- 30mL
*Lot ------- (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 125mg/5mL - 100mL
*Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 125mg/5mL - 60mL
"Lot (manufactured in [redacted] Omnicef 125mg/5mL- 100mL
Four additional investigations for lots manufactured during [redacted] were on-going at the time of the inspection.
Further review of the evidence collected during the referenced inspection disclosed a lack of assurance of your established fill weight limit specifications. Your firm established that the net weight of the drug product correlates directly to the potency [redacted]. Moreover, the New Drug Application Supplement [redacted] submitted to FDA describes the [redacted] as a [redacted]. The following lots obtained either out-of-specification assay results during release testing from samples that met specifications during in-process fill weight check testing or out-of-specification results during in-process fill weight check re-testing (as a result of an investigation) from samples that met assay specification during release testing, as follows:
Omnicef 250mg15mL - 30mL Lot [redacted] (manufactured in [redacted]). During a re-test, an acceptable assay release result of [redacted] percent was obtained (specification is [redacted] percent to [redacted] percent label claim). The assay result was from a composite sample of [redacted] units that was OOS for the bottle fill weight. The results for the bottle fill weight were between grams to [redacted]. The specification for fill weight is [redacted] to [redacted].
Omnicef 250mg/5mL - 60mL Lot [redacted] (validation lot manufactured in [redacted]). An out-of-specification assay result of [redacted] percent was obtained (specification is [redacted] percent to [redacted] percent label claim) from a sample with a bottle fill weight of [redacted] grams (specification for fill weight limit is [redacted] to [redacted].
Omnicef 125mg/5mL - l00mL Lot [redacted] manufactured in [redacted]). An out-of specification assay result of [redacted] percent was obtained (specification is from [redacted] percent to [redacted] percent label claim) from a sample with a bottle fill weight of [redacted] (specification for fill weight limitit is [redacted] to [redacted].
2. Failure to comply with 21 CFR Part 211.110(b) -The in-process specifications for the characteristics of in-process materials are not consistent with drug product final specifications. The examination and testing of samples do not assure that the drug product and in-process material conforms to specifications.
Your manufacturing and quality control procedures have failed to identify assay and fill weight non-conformance results during normal production processes.
Omnicef 125mg/5mL - 100mL, Lot [redacted] {manufactured in [redacted] was identified as failing to meet weight specifications after initial testing had acceptable results. Initially the lot met specifications for release; however, during a second verification of the unit's weight as part of investigation [redacted] (lot [redacted]) percent of the lot was rejected because it did not meet the fill weight limit specification. Failure of the lot to meet the fill weight limit specification was not detected by the manufacturing and quality control systems during the routine production process of the lot.
Regarding Omnicef 125mg15mL - 30mL, Lot [redacted], (manufactured in [redacted] out-of specification results were detected after the lot was re-evaluated as part of an expanded investigation relating to other lots and after further testing of portions of the same lot. The lot met the assay release specification at the [redacted] percent sampling point. However, during a second verification of the [redacted] percent sampling point, as part of investigation [redacted] for the same lot at percent sampling point, percent of the lot was rejected due to assay out-of-specification results obtained for the [redacted] percent sampling point portion. Failure of the lot to meet the assay specification at the [redacted] percent sampling point was not detected by your manufacturing and quality control systems during the routine production process of the lot.
3 . Failure to comply with 21 CFR Part 211.165(a) - There is no assurance that each lot conforms to its final specifications. Ornnicef 125mg/5mL (30mL) lot [redacted] (manufactured in [redacted] originally met the assay release specification at the [redacted] percent sampling point. However, during a second verification of the [redacted] percent sampling point, as part of investigation [redacted] for the same lot at [redacted] percent sampling point, [redacted] percent of the lot was rejected due to assay out-of-specification results obtained during the re-testing for the percent sampling point portion. There is no assurance that units distributed have the appropriate quality standards.
4 . Failure to comply with 21 CFR Part 211.198 - The current inspection documented under-filled complaints received at CEPFI International during [redacted] and [redacted]. These complaints represent the possible failure of your product to meet specifications. Furthermore, your firm failed to conduct an assessment of eight Postmarketing Adverse Drug Experience (PADE) reports which stated lack of effectiveness and could possibly relate to incidents of the drug product failing to meet assay and/or fill weight specifications. According to your firm's policy, the lot number is a requirement in order to open an investigation. Because these PADE reports did not contain a lot number, these incidents were not investigated. Nonetheless, your firm's knowledge of the assay and fill weight problems should prompt you to further investigate these reports.
5. Failure to comply with 21 CFR Part 211.192 - Your firm failed to identify and correct the root cause of the OOS for assay and fill weight for the Omnicef OP products. Your inability to identify the root cause of the OOS results prevents you from implementing the appropriate corrective actions to assure the quality of each unit being distributed.
We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated May 6, 2005 responding to the Form FDA-483 issued on April 22, 2005. Our evaluation finds that your response does not fully address the assay-fill weight non-conformance problem. Furthermore, you did not provide any corrective measures to assure that all units are in compliance with CGMP.
For example, your response failed to address incidents in which non-conforming units were detected in lots that were previously tested and reported to be in-compliance with their release specifications. In addition, your response failed to address the issue of lots found out-of-specification for assay after initially being reported as complying with the manufacturing weight limit. Your response also failed to address the fill weight limit setting procedure issue. According to the investigator your current procedures take the average weight of a certain number of bottles to determine the fill weight limits used during the filling. This practice may not be appropriate given the variable weights of the bottles, which your fiem has determined as a possible cause of the high or low weight fill problem. In addition, your response does not mention reconsidering the fill weight limit specifications.
Furthermore, within your "Additional Enhancement in the Packaging Area" under the "Predictive/Preventive Control" you mentioned the equipment as a cause or possible cause for the assay-fill weight non-conforming excursions. However, during the inspection our Investigator found no documented evidence that any of the investigations for out of specifications assay results were related to equipment malfunction events. Therefore, although we recognize that corrective actions related to preventive maintenance of equipment is an improvement, at this point the equipment has not been directly related to the assay-fill weight problem, and other corrective actions would be appropriate.
We also acknowledge your decision to cease manufacturing Omnicef OP 125mg/5mL and 250mg15mL. 30mL (30cc) presentation, until the new equipment (filling line) is qualified. However, this corrective action fails to address similar deficiencies documented for the 60mL, and 100mL presentations of this product in either strength.
Federal agencies are advised of the issuance of all warning letters to drug manufactures so that they may take this information into account when considering the award of contracts. Additionally, pending NDA, ANDA, or export certificate requests may not be approved until the above violations are corrected.
You should take prompt action to correct these deviations. Failure to promptly correct these deviations may result in regulatory action being initiated by the FDA without further notice. These actions include, but are not limited to, seizing your products or obtaining a court injunction.
Please notify this office in writing, within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this letter, of the specific steps you have taken to correct the noted violations, including an explanation of each step taken to prevent the recurrence of similar violations. If corrective action cannot be completed within 15 working days, please state the reasons for the delay and the timeframe within which the corrections will be completed.
Your written reply to these concerns should be directed to the Food and Drug Administration, attention: Carlos A . Medina, Compliance Officer, at 466 Fernandez Juncos Avenue, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00901-3223. If you have any questions regarding any issue in this letter, please contact Mr. Medina at (787) 474-9538, firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Check-in before
Small but really convenient apartment. The pictures are very realistic: what you see is what you get.The location is not on walking distance from the innercity, but busstop and large supermarket around the corner (and quiet nights!) make the stay really comfortable. Features are the terrace (pretty private), a good and comfortable bed and most of all the hospitality of Maja and family. They are always willing to inform you and/or help you out in any situation. Maja responses fast and accurate at any question, so you can't wish yourself a more reliable and friendly host. I'm looking forward to get back again :) !
We really enjoyed our stay in Split. The hosts are nice, helpful und friendly.We can recommend the house and especially the hosts and looking forward to visit Split for a second trip.
kind regards
The apartment was very good, everything was perfect!
When we arrived, the host sent for us every important and useful information (bus station, timetable, market address, etc.) and they were very likeable and helpful.
The apartment is very clean, practical and confortable.

Hit-and-run drivers pose serious challenge in Fla.
Catching offenders, proving operation and intoxication is difficult in many cases
By Chris Alcantara
The Palm Beach Post
PALM BEACH CTY., Fla. — Joseph Vinsky remembers the anxiety that filled him as his voice mail played urgent messages from his parents and — more troubling — the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
It was the morning of Feb. 14 when Vinsky, 41, of Allentown, Pa., learned that a 2004 Jeep Liberty had struck his older sister, Paula Vinsky, as she walked along Calamondin Boulevard in Loxahatchee the night before.

If you didn't know it by now, the secret to a good SSD is a good memory controller. It not only greatly influences speed but also is a huge factor in determining long term reliability. So this looks a mouth watering union...
Solid State Drive speed and value masters OCZ are to launch a new flagship line dubbed 'Summit' and a new licensing agreement will see it partnered with Samsung's highly rated new controller.
Performance figures aren't yet available for the exciting range but it is expected to outperform the already jet propelled 250MBps read/180MBps write of current OCZ high watermark, the Vertex series. Capacities are also expected to be available at up to 250GB and possibly more. Power usage is expected to be just one watt at load.
Arrival time? As soon as April. Understandably the RRP remains a tightly guarded secret at present but with SSD prices continuing to drop like a stone (the OCZ 30GB Solid series retails for circa £60) it may not be the wallet shattering shock we all fear.

Please help me. I'm suffering from severe case of enophthalmos. I had a car accident in 2001, which caused laceration to right side of my face. For the past year I've noticed my right eye sinking. I had a cat scan done Feb 2012 that showed no fractures. This is becoming painful, achy feeling in orbit and eyeball often feels like I have sand on it. Can this sinking and pain be caused from orbital fat loss? What can be done to help this? It's causing depression and ruining my life. Please help!
Can Anything Be Done to Help with Enophthalmos, Caused by Orbital Fat Loss? (photo)
Doctor Answers 1
Enophthalmos evaluation
You certainly seem to have some hypophthalmos as well as some enophthalmos based on your photographs. It would be very unusual for this to be such a late sequelae of your car accident. The dry eye symptoms (scratchy feeling) are concerning as well. I would recommend evaluation by a ophthalmologist first and possibly a ENT/facial plastic surgeon. You need to have your vision, cornea, tear production, etc checked out by the eye doctor.
Assuming there was not a missed orbital blowout fracture, you could have a silent sinus syndrome which could be addressed with sinus surgery (if that is the cause). Further recommendations will have to be based on your history, physical exam and a review of your CT scan. Bring a copy of your CT scan with your to your doctors appointments.
Good luck and best wishes.

"He called me that night," said McLee Jr., who goes by the nickname Boo. "He told me about how he played in the Sugar Bowl against Pitt and Tony Dorsett."
The Bulldogs were whipped 27-3 by the top-ranked Panthers that day in 1977 as Dorsett rushed for 202 yards, but Kevin McLee also saw his share of good times at Georgia.
He finished his career with 2,581 yards, including the 1,058 he had in the 1976 season leading up to that Sugar Bowl. He was inducted into the Georgia-Florida game hall of fame earlier this year thanks to his 198 rushing yards in the 1976 game against the Gators.
"I never really saw him on film or anything, but from what everybody says, he was a great player," said Boo McLee, a junior.
Now Boo is carrying on the family tradition with the Mountaineers. Kevin McLee's brother Billy and cousin Reggie also played at West Virginia. Boo McLee, so named by his grandmother because he was such a fan of peek-a-boo as a baby, is tied for his team's lead in tackles this year with 74. He also has six tackles-for-loss and an interception.
"We thought Boo could have a breakout year, and he's had a good year, but I think still think there's another level Boo can go to," West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez said.
The No. 8 Bulldogs (10-2) will take on No. 11 West Virginia (10-1) in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2 in the Georgia Dome.
"It's a real nice matchup to me," Kevin McLee said. "I don't know who to pull for man. I'll probably pull for West Virginia this time around. It's going to be hard as hell. Right now, I'm sweating just thinking about it."
Boo McLee said his dad promised him he would sit in the West Virginia section and cheer for the Mountaineers while wearing a Georgia hat.
"I'm going to have to get over (the hat) because I probably would do the same thing," Boo McLee said.
Boo McLee, who mainly played running back in high school, was raised by his paternal grandparents in Uniontown, Pa. Kevin McLee has lived just outside Los Angeles for the last 20 years and currently works for Prudential Life Insurance. Boo spent some time with his father in California while growing up, Kevin said, but the bond of college football has strengthened their relationship.
"I talk to him a lot more than I used to," Boo McLee said. "We're getting closer now because he experienced a lot of the stuff I'm going through."
Boo McLee's mother, Elaine Murray, lived in Illinois but died two years ago.
"I'm very proud of my son, very proud of my son," Kevin McLee said.
"We've always been close. (Football) has just made us a little closer."
Boo McLee rushed for 1,637 yards and led Uniontown High in tackles his senior season but several schools backed away from him during the recruiting process due to borderline qualifying scores, his father said. Georgia sent recruiting letters but never offered a scholarship and never got an official visit, Boo McLee said.
West Virginia, though, was a constant admirer.
"We really liked the way his motor ran," Rodriguez said. "He was full speed all the time. He's the one guy on defense, you don't have to say 'Sic 'em' to. You have to say, 'Whoa, back off a little' in practice sometimes."
The "sic 'em" must come naturally.

My daughter was bit by a dog on the face and has some horrific scars. There is also railroad tracking from the stitching on the face which makes the face look worse. What causes scaring from the stitches and can you ever eliminate the stitch marks with revision surgery?
Doctor Answers 1
Resurfacing lasers great for scarring
Fractional resurfacing lasers such as Fraxel Re:Store and Fraxel Re:pair can be very helpful for improving skin scars including the stitch marks. If there is a lot of redness, these treatments can be combined with Vbeam pulsed dye laser to reduce the redness. If there is a depression in the area or loss of tissue under the scar, then a dermal injection of filler or a fat transfer can be helpful.

We travel a lot and this remove has been such a great addition to my travel bag. It easily removes 10 nails of non-glitter polish. With glitter you might need two for 10 nails. No spillage in my bags and easy quick change.
Also, the remover feels more nourishing than abrasive. Also, it smells great!
This is an easy add if you are trying to get to free shipping. These wipes are a must for quick change nails on the go or while traveling.
I highly recommend them.

The notorious bacteria E. coli is best known for making people sick, but scientists have reprogrammed the microbe — which also comes in harmless varieties — to make it seek out and fight other disease-causing pathogens. The researchers' report appears in the journal ACS Synthetic Biology and describes development of this new type of E. coli that can even kill off slimy groups of bacteria called biofilms that are responsible for many hard-to-treat infections, such as those that take hold in the lungs, the bladder and on implanted medical devices.
Matthew Wook Chang and colleagues explain that biofilm infections are difficult to treat because the bacteria hide away under a protective barrier of sugars, DNA and proteins. That shield makes them very resistant to conventional therapies. In addition, overuse of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture also have made some bacteria, such as MRSA, shrug off most known treatments, making at least 2 million Americans sick every year. This growing public health threat has motivated scientists to look for new antibiotics and alternative treatments to beat infections. In the past, researchers made bacteria that fight off other microbes, but they had limitations. Chang's team addressed those limitations by making a new kind of bacterial "gun-for-hire" that can sense an infection, swim toward it and kill off the disease-causing microbes.

Got my Pi on Friday. All working great.
4 different OS's working great, easy setup. So much better and easier to setup than the Beagleboard/bone and Pandaboard.
I am having trouble getting wifi to work on anything.
I have two wifi usb dongles - both are supported.
TP-LINK TL-WN821N (version 2 if 'dmesg' is right)
I am trying to replace my AppleTV XBMC setup. I have all software working on Pi and it is happily talking to my server (Pandaboard - Will be a Pi soon enough!).
But its all over ethernet.
Could someone please help.
Added firmware for D-Link, but it failed.
Any time I change the /etc/network/interface file, I can not connect to it again.
I am only trying to solve this issue for XBMC (as this is my main reason for the Pi's).
There is no GUI for XBMC to connect to WiFi networks.
I'm pretty much stuck.

Nope. I couldn't find an option in raspbmc but I did get it working first time using the latest build from Chris Swan's Blog. The link is below:
Give that a try. I used a USB RALink 2501 chipset card and it worked brilliantly.

God alone knows why they do it. The only possible justification for going to the trouble of donning fancy dress is to escape your humdrum life for an evening. But what possesses celebrities to dress up as each other?
Recently we've had Anthea Turner aping Madonna in her Confessions on a Dance Floor/purple-leotard period, Lorraine Kelly having a go at being Lady Gaga and Jennifer Aniston in full Barbra-Streisand-Funny-Girl regalia. Even Fiona Bruce became temporarily infected with the madness, slipping into Diana Rigg's former Avengers catsuit when it was brought along for valuation at the Antiques Roadshow a few weeks ago.
The ostensible motive is homage. Turner's photoshoot is, apparently, a tribute to Madonna to mark the singer's 52nd birthday on Monday. And not at all a desperate attempt to borrow some of the lustre of a celebrity whose star wattage exceeds her own by uncountable orders of magnitude, nor a chance for magazine editors to fill their pages with tasty yet affordable pictures of a tasty yet affordable blonde in something shiny and skimpy.
Kelly claims her makeover in New magazine is the natural expression of her love for Lady Gaga's work. The interview suggests that she is at least aware of and playing with the incongruity of the pairing of quintessential sofa-based presenter with glitter-lobster-sporting pop goddess, even if the main point of the pictures does seem to be reminding people that Brand Kelly is not just about charming mumsiness but incorporates a fully functioning set of bazonkas too.
Aniston's channelling of Barbra Streisand is perhaps the weirdest. She's not a singer. She's promoting a film that has nothing to do with Babs. She is famous enough not to need such gimmicks, and all the photos do is emphasise the gulf between the stellar charisma of La Streisand and the relative lack thereof in the impersonator. Send in the clowns!

It's an eerie sight at E. North and N. Oakland avenues these days.
The burned out shell of Pizza Man restaurant, a longtime popular east side eatery, has given the intersection the appearance of a disaster site, although a relatively minor one given recent world events.
The early morning fire that destroyed Pizza Man on Tuesday left a vivid impression of just how tumultuous it can be to deal with the aftermath of unexpected calamity. The fire didn't just burn down Pizza Man; it also destroyed several neighboring businesses and numerous apartments and disrupted daily activities in a bustling commercial area.
I drive past the location daily - although truthfully I'm more of a Zaffiro's guy when it comes to pizza on the east side - and it's hard to imagine that corner without the familiar landmark.
But it turns out the fire also managed to cast a spotlight on a continuing political battlefield in terms of resources, budget cuts and the need to set priorities in a fiscally conservative era.
Ald. Bob Donovan (a.k.a. "The Human Press Conference") used the fire to highlight his concerns about City of Milwaukee budget cuts that trimmed resources and cut staffing among firefighters. Donovan and firefighter union officials believe the fire highlighted the weaknesses created by the budget cuts because some suburban communities had to be asked to provide assistance at Milwaukee precincts while a large number of city firefighters fought the four-alarm blaze.
Mayor Tom Barrett and acting fire chief Michael Jones said the situation did not put anyone in danger and praised the efforts of all involved.
With so many government departments forced to implement layoffs and furloughs of public servants, including firefighters and police officers, it becomes a question of how much is too much.
What's curious about the budget cuts criticism is that it comes at a time when many citizens are part of a growing populist base that insists taxpayers want less government, not more.
The "tea party" movement, along with other tax revolt groups upset with increased government spending, advocates a new era in which most citizens don't have to depend on government for anything, including health care. When it comes to police and fire protection, however, that seems to fall in a different category.
What matters most depends mainly on your priorities: Would you prefer your tax dollars go to pay for more cops on the streets or filling potholes? What about keeping the county park system one of the best in the nation? Don't forget about public transportation, public schools and of course, whenever you need a firefighter, it's usually always a pretty pressing matter.
The Pizza Man fire site represents a loss for Milwaukee's east side and the city in general. But criticism about cuts in the city's budget ignores the current political environment that forces some politicians to adhere to a frugal mind-set when it comes to tax dollars and say "No" to most requests for extra funds.
That presents a problem for some people; after all, if you really want to get government out of your life, you can't complain when they don't show up exactly when you want them.
Someone smarter than me said it once: You can't have it both ways.

Bill Text - AB-169 Unsafe handguns.
Cross your fingers or pray, what ever works for you.
Vg247 - top gun supply will ship off-roster HK's to CA. I just bought a P30 from them w/o any issues. Just make sure its being shipped to an FFL that can do SSE.
For those in the Bay Area, Tracy Rifle and Pistol will do SSE on HK45's and P30's in both 9 and 40. No extra fees if you actually purchase the gun from them (assuming they have it in stock or can order it). If you purchase from another FFL and have it sent to them for SSE I think its $150 for SSE/DROS/Transfer/etc.
Thank you for the info regarding Top Gun :-)
Heads up for anyone in CA that gets an off-roster HK via SSE. I just got an HK45 and called HK CS about sending it in for a LEM conversion. Once the HK CS Rep realized that I was in CA and not Law Enforcement he said he wouldn't be able to send my gun back to me, If I sent it in, since HK considers the off-roster HK's like HK45's 'illegal' in CA. The real shocker was that he said conversions of HK pistols into single shots are not approved or authorized modifications by HK and as a result void the warranty. Sweet.
This is the first I've heard of this so I'm not sure if it's some new policy or what but I just wanted to spread the word. Folks over in the HK Customer Service forum here have had good things to say recently, but they must not be in CA.
SSE is a legal process in Calif. I could see if the process was not legal that could void the warranty. If the pistol was bought from a FFL in Calif. and you had a issue with it they would be hard pressed not to cover a defect.

...while I'm still on a roll. I bought a bunch of SATA III cables for my next desktop. These were the only ones that would keep the cables out of the way of a graphics card in the tight case I'm using (Antec Two Hundred v2), something they will do well. One minor annoyance is the almost bright red color since the rest of my cables are either black or sleeved black or dark bronze; I find that red rather annoying. I thought about sleeving them but 1/8" is too small and 1/4" is a bit oversized and looks too bulky.
I have a PCI slotcover with two USB 2.0 ports mounted to it with a pair of cables leading to two USB header connectors (very similar to this). The gray body and cables bugged me for the same reason so I removed the connectors from the slot cover and took a black permanent felt marking pen to the connector bodies and cable sleeves. The results look surprisingly good. I was wondering if I could do the same to the red on the SATA cables. I know they can be pretty touchy to sharp bends, which suggests they might be more delicate than the USB cables I recolored, and I didn't know if the solvents (smells like xylene) in the marking pen ink would mess up the insulation.

BAYSIDE, N.Y.—It was interesting to note that Communist leaders in the Russian satellites of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and East Germany have supported Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in his position that war between the Communist and capitalist worlds is not inevitable.
This, of course, differs from that of the Chinese Communists—which is the real orthodox position of Communist doctrine, namely, that the whole world must be Communist or there can be no peace. The People's Republic of China follows the line that we are aggressive toward the Soviet Union and its people, offering as proof our bases on the perimeter of the Communist world. But they would never give the reason these bases were established.
It is possible that this outline of Premier Khrushchev's position acknowledges that times have changed since Nikolai Lenin laid down his doctrines and that this more reasonable stand, proclaimed in public as it was, may prove to be a really important milestone in the relationship between the Communist and non-Communist worlds.
I have a feeling Poland will join the other satellites in supporting this new position. Albania is the only Communist country I do not feel I know enough about to determine what her position will be.
The Soviet Premier's speech draws clear lines of difference between Communist China and the Soviet Union. These may largely be attributed to the passage of time, for the Soviets have had contacts with the outside world longer than have the Chinese Communists and know more about the advantages of coexistence. It will be interesting to watch developments in the future.
I am sure that many people were highly relieved and grateful for Mayor Robert Wagner's pronouncement on the request of George Lincoln Rockwell of Arlington, Va., who says he leads the American Nazi party. Mr. Rockwell had requested the right to hold a rally in New York City's Union Square on July 4, and Mayor Wagner said the guarantee of free speech did not cover incitement to riot and this rally would certainly lead to disorder and bloodshed.
Even Mr. Rockwell's visit to the State Supreme Court building, where he appeared at a hearing in Justice A. Luciana's court to defend his application for a rally permit, created such a commotion that the police had to guard him and take him out by a side door. No small group, it seems to me, has a right to insist on a public rally in a public square when there is such violent opposition from so many people.
It is not merely that this group is considered anti-Negro and anti-Jewish that makes the Mayor's decision important. Certainly veterans' organizations must be outraged that we have an American group which supports the type of thinking against which so many of our boys fought in World War II and, in consequence, so many died.

Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori and Bishop Mark Sisk of New York spoke about the Lambeth Conference today on a web cast. The conversation, a kind of modified press conference with viewers e-mailing questions, will be available soon at episcopalchurch.org
Here are a few things that struck me, feel free to add your own observations in the comments, but remember, we require you to use your full name.
I was encouraged by what both bishops had to say about the future of the proposed Anglican Covenant. The appendix of the St. Andrew's Draft of the covenant, which provides detailed and convoluted procedures by which one province might prosecute and eventually marginalize another, appears to be dead in the water.
The Presiding Bishop said there was "great unanimity in rejecting the latter portions" of the covenant among the bishops at the conference. Bishop Sisk said he felt "great relief" in hearing "almost universally" that the bishops had "no desire to have the coercive element in it."
Regarding the timetable for ratification of a covenant, Bishop Sisk said he didn't think we would receive the document—which must be approved by the Anglican Consultative Council in May—in time to give it careful consideration before our General Convention in July.
Regarding the moratoria on the consecration of gay bishops living with partners and on the authorization of rites to bless same sex relationships, Bishop Sisk said he was surprised by "the extent to which the 'gracious restraint' the Episcopal Church has adopted was unknown."
(Gracious restraint is code phrase for "swallowing our consciences on issues regarding glbt people for the sake of unity in the Anglican Communion.")
Sisk said this restraint had been "enacted at great cost" and that "the spirit I find is one of willingly providing that restraint."
If you are hoping that the General Convention will overturn or otherwise modify Resolution B033 of 2006, you have work to do in the House of Bishops, because Mark Sisk is hardly a conservative.
Bishop Jefferts Schori also spoke about the "Lack of information and the misinformation" that exists about "this Episcopal Church of ours." She said she was asked whether the Episcopal Church held to the basic statements of the creed, etc. "Not everybody believes that we believe them," she said.
Bishop Sisk said that the Episcopal Church is "by no means alone" in working for full inclusion of gay and lesbian Christians. He was pleased at "the number of other provinces across the Communion who are very supportive of the kinds of concerns we are trying to address." However, he added, that in many parts of the Communion, association with a church that is perceived to be "pro gay" is dangerous. This is especially true in areas in which Christians constitute a small religious minority.
"Their lives are quite literally in danger," he said. "[It is] yet another excuse for the dominant culture to demean them and sometimes violently so."
He also said that many bishops in the developing world were frustrated by the amount of time spent discussing sex at the conference.
The Presiding Bishop said she was not optimistic that incursions by conservative primates into liberal jurisdictions would stop. She also said that the Archbishop of Canterbury may be coming to the United States to raise money to help pay the debt of the Lambeth Conference, which is estimated to be about $2 million.

Imagine Rowan Williams coming to the US with his tin cup. What a surprise.
This is too good to be true with the sentence about the ABC raising funds immediately after the sentence about incursions by conservative prelates, oops! primates.
Ron Miller
I thought the ABC was not flying for a year – is he swimming the Atlantic? Re: the webcast — softball questions – seems they were screened for blah-ness. And KJS and Sisk mostly sang yet another chorus of the Lambeth Kumbayah. It will be hard work to get the bishops back to the realities of TEC if they can even hear it through the current "ear worm"
"… the Archbishop of Canterbury may be coming to the United States to raise money to help pay the debt of the Lambeth Conference, which is estimated to be about $2 million."
That prospect makes me ill.
Not to mention that on top of everything else, he spends money that he does not have?
Perhaps The Archbishop of Canterbury will start his "fund raising" tour of TEC in the diocese of New Hampshire…surely he's capable of living up to the modest and humble example of making his pitch "on the fringe!"
Let's try recalibrating the translation-bot for greater accuracy, Jim.
Bishop Sisk: the spirit I find is one of willingly throwing LGBTs under the bus.
Doesn't that sound a bit more like it?
Lord have mercy!
JC Fisher
[I can only pray that Bonnie Anderson—reflecting what I believe will be a more Christ-centered HofD—lays the smack down on the HofB, the way ++FG/+KJS did to the HofD in '06. NO to Princes/Princesses in Purple, Lording It Over!]
I know the feeling, and it includes our bishops in their gracious attitudes and behaviors toward lgbt persons:
"Their lives are quite literally in danger," he said. "[It is] yet another excuse for the dominant culture to demean them and sometimes violently so."
It is interesting that Bp. Sisk doesn't name that this is the same reality lgbt persons often face, including in the rhetoric of bishops. Words too have dangerous power. The spirit lgbt persons experience as rhetorical violence is a spirit of willing graciousness for Bp. Sisk. That gets at the truth about our "liberal" bishops.

Brandon Lloyd: Elite for a Year
Brandon Lloyd: Elite for a Year
Last night, NFL Network presented the No. 60 to No. 51 of their list of the best players in the NFL voted on by the players. Of the 10 players presented, there were three who I thought deserved to be higher: Matt Ryan and Carl Nicks – who we have written individual pieces on in the past few weeks – and Brandon Lloyd.
In his eight years in the NFL, Lloyd has played for four different teams. Prior to the 2010 season, his best year was a 733-yard 2005 campaign. The Twitter outrage that followed his name being called wasn't surprising because, prior to this year, Lloyd was a relative unknown and it was hard to improve standing with the year Denver had in 2010.
His season was one of the best we've seen out of a receiver in our three years of rating players, and he was by far the best in 2010, a somewhat down year for wideouts. He had a PFF pass rating of +23.4 and the next highest was +15.2. While it's fairly clear that the NFL Network's list is not just about the 2010 season, there should be no denying how good Lloyd's 2010 was.
Statistical Breakdown
His base statistics looked like this: He was thrown at 147 times, caught 77 balls for 1448 yards, had 11 touchdowns, and dropped four passes. A few things stand out from that. He only brought in 52.4% of the passes thrown his way which isn't very high, but his 18.8 yards per catch led the league for all receivers with over 100 targets.
When a team has a receiver that is clearly better than the rest, his quarterback will tend to send the ball his direction more often. That partly explains the number of targets Lloyd saw (fifth most in the league) and goes into explaining his relatively low catch rate as there were a number of passes that were thrown his way that were more difficult than the average throw. Another factor was that he rarely played in the slot, with over 91% of his pass routes coming from him lining up out wide.
In order to help account for this, we've previously designed a metric we call Yards Per Route Run. This metric takes the above problem into account, and aids in putting receivers on a level playing field. The league leader in this for 2010 was Kenny Britt of the Titans with a 2.81 YPRR figure, although Britt was injured for a few games and ran fewer routes. He was followed by Lloyd with 2.40 YPRR and Andre Johnson finished third with 2.31.
Another statistic that was in Lloyd's favor was his Drop Percentage. This past week we've taken a look at drop percentage at various positions, and for wide receivers Lloyd's number was the 8th best. He also performed very well on deep throws and you'll be able to read more about his success in that department in our deep threat article that will be posted tomorrow.
While each of these numbers makes Lloyd look like one of the best receivers in the league in 2010, it takes a look into the PFF grades to show why we believe he was indeed at the top this past season.
The PFF Ratings
Lloyd was able to make positive plays at a higher frequency then his peers, and he was also able to make big plays more often. The majority of Lloyd's big plays came when he simply went deep and caught the ball, though he also did well on a number of comeback routes.
Here are the top five receivers in terms of PFF pass ratings including the playoffs, and their outstanding +1.0 or better graded plays, total positively-graded plays, and negatively-graded plays:
Top Wide Receivers, Graded Plays
|Pass Plays
|Big Plays (+1.0 grade or better)
|Big %
|Positive Plays
|Pos. %
|Negative Plays
|Neg. %
|Brandon Lloyd
|Andre Johnson
|Calvin Johnson

It's also important to realize that a receiver's raw statistics are very dependent on the quarterback throwing to them where their PFF rating isn't as much. Players like Andre Johnson and Roddy White had top quarterbacks getting them the ball. While you could say that Calvin Johnson was stuck with Shaun Hill for most of the season, even Hill had a better rating than Kyle Orton or Tim Tebow had in 2010. Larry Fitzgerald went without a strong quarterback in 2010 and his numbers also took a hit. With a better quarterback in place, Lloyd could have stood out even more to the general audience.
Looking Ahead
To be honest, I was surprised Lloyd made the list at all because I thought one year wouldn't be enough for him to reach that point. There's no telling for sure what the players had in mind when voting, is it about the player's full career? the last few years? or just this past year? While we believe he was the best last year, it would take another few years of top level performance for Lloyd to cement himself among the elite.
Players like Larry Fitzgerald, Greg Jennings, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Reggie Wayne and Roddy White have each produced for a number of years and that's how they've earned their respect. When the next season begins, Lloyd will be 30. With questions at the quarterback position in Denver, he may never reach the point where he is widely considered an elite NFL wide receiver.
Lloyd has, however, defied the odds and seemingly burst from nowhere to dominate the position for a year. Now the question is: is it tougher to break out at the age of 29 or to follow up that first stellar season at 30? It is possible for Lloyd to defy the odds again.

Where Does Marvel Avenge Next?
It has been over a week since I saw The Avengers and it dawned on me that I never wrote an actual review of the film. To be honest, I was so exhausted after Hot Docs that writing another review was the furthest thing from my mind. Plus it seems that everything there is to say about The Avengers has already been said. Instead of regurgitating the same praises that critics and other blogs have already showered on The Avengers, I wanted to look at where the franchise goes from here?
There will be no shortage of films coming down the pipeline with sequels to The Avengers, Thor, Captain America, and, of course, Iron Man 3 already in the works. Marvel also recently announced that, to no one's surprise, a new Hulk film would be coming in 2015. Proving with the Hulk franchise that if at first you do not succeed, reboot and reboot again. While The Avengers is a huge success, I cannot help but wonder if the formula Marvel has established will work again? Or will the franchise stumble like the show Heroes did in the second season?
The first season of Heroes was all about building to the point where all the various superheroes would unite and save the day. After the first season of Heroes, fans were extremely excited to see what life as a superhero team would be like moving forward. However, the show made the fatal mistake of trying to replicate the first season's success by separating all the heroes once again and building to yet another team up. The problem was the audience no longer cared about the individual stories and wanted to see how everyone interacted on a regular basis. It is one of the reason's Lost was so successful, despite highlighting one character in each episode, it still showed how they connected to the greater story.
Since audiences now have to sit through more solo films before seeing another Avengers team-up, the question becomes whether or not audiences will still find the characters as entertaining on their own? Besides the original Iron Man, a film universally liked by both comic book fans and non-comic book fans alike, the other Marvel films have been hotly debated as to their levels of success. The Avengers got everyone is jazzed to see a new Hulk film, but can the Hulk be as entertaining without his interactions with Iron Man? Let's not forget it was only a few years ago when The Incredible Hulk, a film I enjoyed, was disliked by many of the people who now proudly proclaim they are Team Hulk. Though I thought he was the best element in The Avengers, the film did turn the Hulk into a Chris Tucker-like figure. What I mean by this is that the Hulk that is shown in The Avengers is entertaining in doses, but it is rather questionable in regards to whether or not he can carry a film on his own. They have had two attempts now and still have not found a way to sustain the perfect balance of humor and depth that the Hulk in The Avengers managed to achieve.
Besides the fact that the audience may not be as keen to see certain solo films, there is also the issue of needing to have some form of continuity running throughout the franchise. One of the major problems I had with Iron Man 2 was the fact that the whole film felt like one long commercial for The Avengers film. Does this mean that we will have to sit through five more feature length commercials prior to the next Avengers film? Hopefully now that the team has been established, the individual films can finally carve out their own unique path without the weight of The Avengers 2 hanging around their necks. However, even this does not exclude the films from suffering from a lack of tension moving forward.
Although comic books, and movies based them, rarely kill off the main character, the best ones figure out how to build in that "they might not make it out alive" style tension. Both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight had these moments that, even if for a split second, made you think "how is he going to survive this?" This is one of the things that the films Iron Man 2, Captain America, and Thor where missing. Those films felt more like you where just waiting for heroes to be triumphant over the villains, rather than having the edge of your seat moments that the Christopher Nolan's films had. Again, part of this is due to the fact that you knew The Avengers film was coming so the stakes were minimal at best in the solo films. Who knows, maybe the solo films will work better now that all of the origin stories are put to bed. For example, S.H.I.E.L.D can finally play a bigger role in the Captain America series and Iron Man can finally get more interesting villains. Still, it will be interesting to see what direction Marvel takes this franchise. Although I am a comic book fan, I would be content with two more Avengers films and call it a day. Mainly because I fear that the more they try and milk the solo films, the more watered down the franchise will feel as a whole. Of course I have been wrong before, for all I know Marvel may already have the master plan mapped out while giving the illusion they are making it up as they go.

I definitely agree with your trepidation.ReplyDelete
I only saw Thor because I knew there was going to an Avengers film.
I too contemplated what would occur now that The Avengers happened...what are these solo films going to be like? I think Thor 2 has the best chance of being successful because it takes place in a different universe or w/e. Therefore, they have alot of stuff to work with.
Whereas Cpt. America is no longer able to fight Nazi's because he is now in modern times. How are Marvel going to keep us interested when we know Avengers 2 is coming?
Regardless, I love the Ironman franchise and think that it will always be good, due to RDJ carrying it.
I think the movies should do what the 1960s Marvel comics did. Once they established all these heroes were inhabiting the same reality, they didn't pretend that everyone was solo. Iron Man would show up for a page or two in the Captain America comic. Spider-Man would harass The Fantastic Four. The movies should have small roles for a single, other Avengers character in each of the films, even if it's only Stark and Banner working on something in the lab, just talking to each other and not "suiting up". It was those moments in between the action that made the Avengers movie so great.ReplyDeleteReplies
I really like the idea of incorporating the sixties comic book esthetics. Instead of having the cameos at the end, just have characters show up when feasible to lend a hand. Or simply have the other character as a sidekick of sorts for a particular mission. For example, Iron Man can show up in the Hulk film chasing after a minor villain, who plays a larger role in the Iron Man flick, that is working with Hulk's enemy.Delete
I won't worry too much about future Avengers movies. They can always gain inspiration from years and years of comic book storylines. But then again, other movies have proven this theory wrong, so...ReplyDelete
As long as Joss Whedon is involved for the 2nd film, I wouldn't be too worried. I have minor interests in the upcoming sequels for Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America but I think a film for the Hulk, done right, could work. Just don't have Bruce Banner be a mopey guy. Have him be in a place where he's comfortable and only bring out the Hulk if he feels threatened.ReplyDelete

I have an odd question that I, for the life on me cannot find an answer to. I started The Primal Blueprint with my husband about a week ago. I have been doing really well, staying between 60-75 carbs a day. I feel great, I am hardly ever hungry and I have tons of energy. I am not sleeping amazingly yet though, but I'm sure that will come. The weird thing that is happening is I have a sweet taste in my mouth ALL THE TIME. Almost as if my saliva is sweet now. It tastes very good and I am not bothered by it at all. I just want to know why it is happening. My breath does not smell any different, it is just the taste that is different. Anybody know what is causing this?
No announcement yet.
Sweet saliva?

Sweet saliva?
Could be that your taste buds are adjusting to life without sugar. Everything tastes sweeter to me now.Sandra
*My obligatory intro
There are no cheat days. There are days when you eat primal and days you don't. As soon as you label a day a cheat day, you're on a diet. Don't be on a diet. ~~ Fernaldo
DAINTY CAN KISS MY PRIMAL BACKSIDE. ~~ Crabcakes
Oh yeah!! I was on a normal American diet before we started this. I ate very well at dinner time but the rest of the day had plenty of carbs and grains.
That is what I thought too, but it is all the time. Like when I wake up in the middle of the night, my mouth is sweet, during exercise when my mouth salivates more, very sweet.
Funky. I've never heard of that... you learn something new every day, I guess.
Perhaps it is simply that you used to have a BAD taste in your mouth for some reason, and now when it's gone, normality seem to taste better because it is a relief compared to the former, even if you never consciously recognized it?
I've also experienced that everything tastes sweeter. Grass-fed eggs come upon my tastebuds like a symphony, bacon is a thousand drunken Irish angels stepdancing over the green fields of taste! I had a jug of fanta a while ago, though... I had to spit it out, because it was so incredibly disgusting. All sugar, salt, and a bunch of things that tasted artificial and that I couldn't even swallow. I used to love Fanta. I used to friggin' live for Fanta. So, yes, taste does change with what you eat. I'm much happier this way, though - an egg and some salad tastes so much better to me now than Fanta ever did.

The Higher Pragmatism
Where to go for wisdom has become a question of serious import. The ancients are
discredited; Plato is boiler-plate; Aristotle is tottering; Marcus Aurelius is reeling; Aesop
has been copyrighted by Indiana; Solomon is too solemn; you couldn't get anything out
of Epictetus with a pick.
The ant, which for many years served as a model of intelligence and industry in the
school-readers, has been proven to be a doddering idiot and a waster of time and effort.
The owl to-day is hooted at. Chautauqua conventions have abandoned culture and
adopted diabolo. Graybeards give glowing testimonials to the venders of patent hair-
restorers. There are typographical errors in the almanacs published by the daily
newspapers. College professors have become--
But there shall be no personalities. To sit in classes, to delve into the encyclopedia or the
past-performances page, will not make us wise. As the poet says, "Knowledge comes, but
wisdom lingers." Wisdom is dew, which, while we know it not, soaks into us, refreshes
us, and makes us grow. Knowledge is a strong stream of water turned on us through a
hose. It disturbs our roots.
Then, let us rather gather wisdom. But how to do so requires knowledge. If we know a
thing, we know it; but very often we are not wise to it that we are wise, and--
But let's go on with the story.
Once upon a time I found a ten-cent magazine lying on a bench in a little city park.
Anyhow, that was the amount he asked me for when I sat on the bench next to him. He
was a musty, dingy, and tattered magazine, with some queer stories bound in him, I was
sure. He turned out to be a scrap-book.
"I am a newspaper reporter," I said to him, to try him. "I have been detailed to write up
some of the experiences of the unfortunate ones who spend their evenings in this park.
May I ask you to what you attribute your downfall in--"
I was interrupted by a laugh from my purchase--a laugh so rusty and unpractised that I
was sure it had been his first for many a day.
"Oh, no, no," said he. "You ain't a reporter. Reporters don't talk that way. They pretend to
be one of us, and say they've just got in on the blind baggage from St. Louis. I can tell a
reporter on sight. Us park bums get to be fine judges of human nature. We sit here all day

MOTORISTS and transport operators may be complaining about the cost of fuel at the pumps with prices now in the region of £5 per gallon.
However, those with long memories might just recall that 40 years ago that same volume could be purchased for little more in the pre-decimal era than the equivalent of 35p.
Farmers are just about managing to survive with higher fuel costs which have seen "red diesel," now priced at over 60p per litre. But the same cannot be said for the cost of chemical fertilisers where demand and supply are currently miles out of balance.
Calum Findlay, a trader with the Lincolnshire based firm of Gleadell, which is one of the leading players in the UK market, is always close to market realities.
Speaking exclusively to The Scotsman yesterday, he said: "It is really quite frightening from the farmer's perspective. Granular urea – that's a form of nitrogen – has recently been trading at 350 per tonne, but my information is that it will soon be close to 390 per tonne.
"Some compounds, especially those containing high levels of potash and phosphate are heading fast for over 630 per tonne and that compares with little more than 200 per tonne 12 months ago. It's a global market with huge demand from China, India and Pakistan."
Another problem is that virtually no fertiliser is manufactured in the UK: not so many years ago the now defunct Scottish Agricultural Industries (SAI) has a massive plant in Edinburgh close to Leith docks. That site is now derelict and destined for commercial and rural development.
Total world demand for fertilisers is reckoned at close to 550 million tonnes, but the harsh fact is that the UK now accounts for less than 2 per cent of that market. There appears to be little prospect of a change and that may cause British farmers to reappraise their farming policies, according to Findlay.
He said: "We have seen a lot of marginal land come back into production following the end of compulsory set-aside, but even with the significant increase in cereal prices, profits now look questionable. I would still advise farmers to place their orders for nitrogen fertilisers now – prices could rise further, especially with sterling weak against the euro. In the short-term crops can be grown without phosphate and potash , but nitrogen is essential."
Meanwhile the international cereals markets have seen some easing in prices as speculators take bank their profits.
The Home Grown Cereals Authority notes that the International Grains Council (IGC) is forecasting a world wheat crop for the current year of 645 million tonnes. down by one million tonnes on last month, but still represents the prospect of a record harvest.
However world stocks for the end of the year are set to be the lowest for 27 years.
The Chicago futures market has recently seen wheat for December 2008 drop by $25 to $311.92 per tonne while the London price has slipped by 4 to 141 per tonne.
The consensus remains that farmers should lock into secure contracts, based on their individual assessment of the cost of production and the margin they seek to make a profit.

GIS folks are two for two this week in Pollination Project grants. First, there was Alex Chaucer's badging grant and now this:
Humpback whales travel the Pacific Ocean every winter to their breeding grounds near the equator. The whales now have a breeding environment that is much less polluted than it was a year ago, thanks to Amy Work and Geoporter, who received a grant so residents of Bahia Ballena, Costa Rica, could use GPS units and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to track community resources. For five months, residents categorized and mapped trash along the streets and beaches in town. With more than 50 inches of annual rainfall, it doesn't take long for trash in the streets to make the short journey to the ocean. Along with trash, technology helps them track the whale sightings during the different migration seasons, helping them understand the patterns today as well to see changes in whale numbers, location, and arrival and departure dates in the future.

First LeBron James said no to the New Jersey Nets, followed by Carmelo Anthony. Then Dwight Howard opted back in down in Orlando, and it appears Deron Williams can't get out of there fast enough either. So what's next for the re-branded Brooklyn Nets as they make their way to home of Biggie Smalls and owner Jay-Z next season? How about Kevin Garnett and Ersan Ilyasova.
This according to The NY Daily News:
Not that the Nets haven't been thinking about backup plans to striking gold in the draft lottery. According to multiple sources, the Nets - who will have roughly $8 million to work with this summer after renouncing the rights to Kris Humphries -- are targeting power forwards Kevin Garnett (restricted) and Ersan Ilyasova (unrestricted) in free agency.
Ryan Anderson (restricted) is the other top power forward available - and would certainly be a welcomed upgrade -- but the Nets want a stronger rebounder to play alongside Brook Lopez.
Garnett, 36, who is reportedly contemplating retirement, is averaging 15.3 points and 8.3 rebounds. Ilyasova, who scored 29 points with 25 rebounds against the Nets in February, is averaging 12.4 points and 8.7 rebounds in his fourth season with the Bucks.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with investing some money in Ersan this summer. Ilyasova has certainly had some monster games, and I think he's a solid young player that will command a significant amount of both money and attention this off-season. He's an upgrade over Humphries for sure, and the Nets are a better team by adding the Ersan without completely breaking the bank to do so. So I'll give them that one.
But KG isn't the answer in Brooklyn. I'm not saying Garnett is completely done, because he probably isn't. But the Nets need to kick that thing off out there with a young star player who's going to be around for a little while. Besides that, why would Kevin want to play with a bad team for the last couple years of his career? Makes no sense to me.
