Press Review: Anaheim Crowd Wild Over Led Zeppelin "Noise"
Orange County was overflowing with teeny-boppers Aug. 9, as Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull performed at the Anaheim Convention Center. The crowd went wild over Led Zeppelin's noise, but I preferred Jethro Tull's music.
Led Zeppelin, led by the shrieking of Robert Plant, had in it three very fine musicians. Drummer John Bonham performed one of the best solos I have ever heard, and lead guitarist Jimmy Page played excellently. On bass guitar was John Paul Jones. However, Plant's singing detracted from any musical effect the group had. He simply mimicked the lead guitar with his voice… every entertaining. But the crowd loved it, not permitting the group to leave until they had completed a half-hour encore.
Instrumentally, the group was excellent, playing together to produce a very good sound. As if the lead singer had nothing else to do, he would get into the act with mind-blowing howl. [M.Gindes, Aug. 1969]

My very first rock concert
I took my girl friend to this show (even though she had broke up with me the week before, a promise is a promise). I was 16 and had only heard one song (Communication Breakdown, which was the encore that night) before that. I had never heard of Jethro Tull before but did recognize one of the songs they played that night. I became a huge Led Zeppelin fan from that day on although never saw them live again. They also played a medley of Elvis songs and it was probably inside of Whole Lotta Love like on the BBC Session recordings.

Linguacode was a translation matrix used during First Contact scenarios, often employed when the universal translator is unable to facilitate communication. The language was developed by noted communications officer Hoshi Sato in the 2160s. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
In the 2270s, the Epsilon IX station transmitted linguacode friendship messages as the V'ger cloud approached, but received no response. The station was subsequently absorbed by the cloud and destroyed. As the USS Enterprise intercepted the cloud, Captain Kirk ordered Communications Officer Uhura to broadcast greetings in Linguacode; again, V'ger was unresponsive. The giant cloud then opened fire on Enterprise. Science Officer Spock concluded that V'ger was unable to receive their "primitive" form of communication, which was too slow to be received. Spock adjusted their linguacode transmission to a frequency of more than one million megahertz, allowing V'ger to receive and understand their messages of friendship. V'ger then ceased its attack. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
Starfleet Mission Specialist Tam Elbrun suggested that linguacode was insufficient to communicate with the space-going lifeform Gomtuu in the year 2366. Elbrun believed that only "direct mind-to-mind" telepathic contact would suffice. A D'deridex-class warbird hailed Gomtuu with what Commander Data described as a Romulan version of linguacode, but the Romulans received no response from the lifeform. (TNG: "Tin Man")

The toilets are free here to - though you really need to get used to the fact the most public urinals have no doors = it\s all about how close you can manage to learn to the wall without actually falling into the trough!
Don't panic though guys - there are plenty of nice watering holes to use in cafes and dept stores.

Munich Germany, (Munchen, Deutchland) As we fly in over the German country side I remember how beautiful and organised everything looks. It's like a patchwork of farmland with neat and tidy towns and cities placed in perfect position amongst it.
There are many good things about Munich and Germany, it has an extremely well integrated public transport system with U underground/subway, S rail, H Trams, and B buses
Ok that's the good bits! What is annoying about Munich and Germany - they still smoke everywhere... and I mean everywhere... inside, outside, it's disgusting. They are not a very friendly bunch and could learn a lot from Canadians and Americans. Then there is the cost of everything - they use the Euro as do all EU countries, but to give you an idea, if you pay $3.95 for a Coffee in OZ then it will be E4.99=$7.00 here in Munich. It hurts every time you buy anything here. Oh! And when you have finished drinking your coffee, you will have to PAY to Pee!!! It costs to go to the toilet here.... OMG
Now for those of you who know me well - you will know that I dislike MacDonald's (or as I call them Yuk-donald's) But I am tempted to write to the GM of MacDonald's thanking him personally for bringing them to Germany. You can buy something other than fatty cheese and sausage meat with bread..... and that's saying something hehehehe you will also not pay a fortune for it, you can eat in a smoke free environment, and best of all......you can PEE for FREE!!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord for MacDonald's and Starbucks!!!!!

Here's a good question from a pretty serious runner I thought you all might be interested in.
I have a question… my husband and I are ultra marathoners. We are wondering if eating Paleo is safe for us? We ve been on it for almost 5 weeks, no cheating at all. Stuck to the diet but unfortunately, we felt so weak and fatigue. Not to mention crankiness! We have a race this Saturday running 50K…. We try to eat sweet potatoes in small portion, a couple times a week. Upped fats into our diet (coconut oil, bacon grease, EVOO).
We run an ultra marathon once a month. Any suggestion? I do feel lightheaded and out of shape even though we ran GREAT before starting PALEO now we feel like crap and tired. We struggled to lose weight before Paleo and then tried paleo and we did lose 10 lbs (each of us) in 4 weeks but that's it.. im sure it was just the water retention. Feedbacks would be appreciated!
Answer from Neely:
Great question.
If you guys are doing an ultramarathon once a month, you DEFINITELY need to be eating more carbs. Like sweet potatoes and squash and fruit every day. It doesn't surprise me at all that you guys are feeling terrible. Here's what I'd do. Put your food intake into an online journal like fitday.com or myfitnesspal.com or one of those. Figure out how much food you're eating and how many calories you should be eating, given your size, desired weight, and activity level. Then from there, here are some guidelines for changes to make.
1 gram of protein per pound of LEAN body weight. So if you're 150 and you have 25% body fat, you'd need to get 112.5 grams of protein a day. 4 oz of meat has around 25-45 grams of protein, FYI.
At least 100 grams of carbs a day plus about 50 extra grams per every hour of cardio you do. You'll need to get that from sweet potatoes, potatoes, tapioca flour, nuts, fruit, lots of veggies, and honey in your case since you're running so much. HOWEVER…
The thing is that the more fat you eat, the better your body will get at using it as fuel rather than carbs. Try for like 1 g of fat per pound of lean body mass just like the protein. Especially medium chain fatty acids like coconut oil. Some runners and cyclists will actually take coconut oil or almond butter out with them on their long workouts instead of gu or other sugary things because their bodies get so good at burning it. You'll have to work up to this in your training. So put extra coconut oil in your food and eat coconut milk curries, don't skimp on the avocados or bacon fat (within caloric reason, that is) – things like that.
Make sure you're eating enough calories for the work you're doing. If you really want to keep running well, you need to eat enough calories. If you're trying to lose weight, then maybe lay off the running for a little while so you can have a calorie deficit and not feel totally terrible.
If you want specific help with this, I do personal Paleo coaching. Just let me know if you're interested by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, Nell Stephenson at www.nellstephenson.com has some awesome info on this topic. She's a Paleo nutritionist and successful Ironman athlete. In the meantime, read this post for more information about how to deal with being an active Paleo eater.

Thank you for the referral, Neely! : ) My Paleo husband is also an IM Triathlete and eating Paleo has seen him through both the Angeles Crest 100 and Western States.
Please note my new site:
Nell Stephenson
I am a cyclist and when I started the Paleo plan I went out with some cycling friends and we were hammering fairly hard. About 3 miles from the end of our ride I bonked and had to use a Goo pack to help me get home. I eat at least two -three large sweet potato's a day along with other fruits and vegetables what do you think caused this. I am getting ready to ramp my cycling up again real soon and do not want to experience this again. Any suggestions?
I am so suprised that ultra marathoners and long distance bikers are even writing to this site wondering why they are cranky and tired and not training like they used to. You are not eating enough carbohydrates. Period. It's amazing to me that you don't get that. Don't be taken by this way of eating, it certainly is not the only way. You all say you were doing fine before. Keep it that way. Incorporate whole grains instead of refined grains and sugar. Enough said.

Things are only set to get worse in the declining PC market over the next few years, according to a new forecast from the research firm IDC.
The prediction comes from IDC's latest Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker report that was released on Tuesday. In it, IDC says that it's lowered its PC shipment forecast for 2014 by two percent, while its longer-term estimate has been reduced by almost one percent. Now, IDC is expecting global PC shipments to decline to 295.9 million this year, from 315.1 million in 2013. By 2018, this figure will slide to just 291.7 million PCs shipped. IDC's figured include all traditional PC form factors – laptops, desktops etc – but don't account for iPads, Android tablets and Microsoft's Surface tablet PCs.
Last December, IDC was slightly more positive in its outlook, saying it expected a 3.8 percent decline in PC shipments this year, and that things would be "slightly positive in the longer term". Now of course, it's changed its stance, which implies that something has changed the dynamics of the PC market?
So what's changed? Well, the concern is that emerging markets haven't performed as well as had been hoped. While these markets had performed as well as expected in Q4 of 2013, IDC says that "concerns about the impact of slower economic growth, the culmination of some large projects, and conservative expectations for factors like touch capability, migration off of Windows XP, as well as continued pressure from tablets and smartphones has further depressed expectations going forward."
This will have a big impact, because IDC notes that "emerging markets used to be a core driver of the PC market". The change in its forecast is significant, because previously IDC had the PC market would be just shy of growth this year, but now it's saying that it'll face yet another year of decline.
The important thing here is scale. While IDC's forecast has only changed slightly, it's previous optimism was mild at best – with these small changes, it's clear that the PC market is seemingly incapable of halting its decline.
"Overall growth projections for 2014 were lowered by just over 2%, and subsequent years were lowered by less than 1%," noted IDC.
Most worried about this news will be Microsoft, which relies heavily on PC sales for its Windows and Office cash cows. Unfortunately for Microsoft, it's big bet on the radical redesign of Windows 8 has failed to nip this decline in the bud, as consumers continue to shun PCs in favor of tablets and smartphones running alternative operating systems.
In the corporate world, the last of the Windows XP PCs are finally being replaced with newer PCs. But that bit of corporate shopping hasn't offset the general downward trend.

Richmond, Va. The outlook for hourly seasonal jobs is dim, with a more than 40% decrease in holiday hiring levels over the numbers reported just two years ago, according to a new survey from SnagAJob.com.
The competition for available jobs is also higher than ever, with a majority (54%) of hiring managers expecting more applications than last year, the report said.
The survey, conducted by third-party research firm Ipsos Public Affairs, finds that each manager, on average, plans on hiring 3.1 seasonal employees this holiday period. This is 16% fewer workers than the 3.7 seasonal workers they each intended to hire last year. These figures account for the 53% of managers who don't plan on making any seasonal hires this year and the 57% of managers who didn't have recruiting plans in 2008.
Looking back to 2007, the same SnagAJob.com survey reported that each manager reported hiring an average of 5.6 seasonal employees that year (including those who didn't hire any workers), making this year's intentions a 45% reduction from previous employment levels.
Among the businesses that do plan to hire this year, each manager intends to hire an average of 6.7 employees, which is 26% fewer than the nine employees that were expected to be hired last year and a 40% drop from the 11.2 employees hired in 2007.
For those who are hired, their opportunities may actually be better than last year, the report said. Hiring managers with available positions expect to pay seasonal employees an average of $10.40 an hour, an increase of $0.40 over last year.
The Federal minimum wage increased in July by $0.70, which likely contributed to this anticipated increase in seasonal pay.

Charlie Maher to Run Boston Marathon
Indigenous footballer and athlete Charlie Maher will compete in the Boston Marathon in America next month.
- Print page

- Permalink
Given only two months notice, Territory Thunder's midfield winger Charlie Maher has taken on the challenge of the 42km race.
Charlie was one of the four Indigenous runners competing in last year's New York Marathon.
This time he is going alone with coach and world champion marathon runner Robert de Castella.
"I had 10 months to prepare for the New York Marathon so it's a bit short notice...but I'm very motivated about what I'm doing and what I want to achieve" explained Maher.
"I just see it as another opportunity, so I'll grab it with both hands."
Charlie's coach, Robert de Castella won Gold in the Boston marathon in 1986 and has played a central role in getting Aboriginal youth involved in marathons and long distance running.
"He's very passionate about what he's doing; he really cares about us and has become a really good friend."
With such a short time frame to prepare for the marathon, Charlie has had to embark on a strict training regime.
"I've been doing a lot of long runs on the weekend and training seven days a week in the morning and afternoon" said Maher.
"It's pretty full on at the moment but what I'm running for is my family, the people in Alice Springs and to represent the Western Desert dialysis unit."
"We've got a high rate of Indigenous people in the dialysis unit so if I can give back to them and try to raise some money I'm happy to do that."
Charlie works with high school students at the Clontarf Academy which uses football as an incentive to stay in school and is aware of being a role model.
"I want to set a positive example to my students" said Maher.
"I think they really look up to me and if they see me do something positive - hopefully they see that they can do anything they want to do in life."
The Boston Marathon takes place on the 18th of April and is expecting 27000 entrants.
Keep an eye on the ABC Alice Springs website for more news on Charlie's progress in Boston.

The U.S. has deployed an additional 4,000 troops to Haiti as aftershocks rocked the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on Wednesday. The American troop count will reach 16,000 by the weekend as relief efforts hit full stride in the earthquake-ravaged country. —JCL
The Guardian:
A new earthquake jolted Port-au-Prince yesterday, sending people fleeing on to the streets and complicating relief efforts as the US dispatched another 4,000 troops to Haiti.
A magnitude 5.9 quake, the most powerful aftershock since the 12 January cataclysm, rattled ruins in the capital and sowed panic but caused no serious reported damage or casualties.
Seismologists said the epicentre was about 35 miles south-west of the city and the focus was six miles deep. They warned of possible stronger aftershocks to come as the earth adjusted to new stresses caused by the original quake.

Rare non-moonroof V series. I bought it in 2012 and at that time I replaced the front tie-rod ends & had alignment done, replaced rear differential oil with Redline & GM limited slip additive. In Feb. 2013 the clutch was upgraded with a Monster level 1 kit, the rear main engine seal was replaced, the front shocks and front wheel hub assemblies were replaced, Revshift transmission mount insert was installed, and an upgraded shifter & bushings were installed. Have receipts and service records during my ownership. My asking price includes a set of uninstalled Revshift Blue motor mounts with silicone heat shields and a used K&N CAI kit that was on the car when I bought it (it has a stock airbox on it at present). Update 5/22/14: I also had the harmonic balancer (with new bolt) & belt tensioner replaced, engine is smooth and powerful.
Car can be seen at Wheels and Deals in Santa Clara; there are a few pics on the website. This is an awesome machine, quite possibly the best 4-door sedan GM ever made and I am happy to answer any questions. Thank you

by Richard Anthony, Freedom Outpost:
Last week I reported on the fact that Tennessee made the move to nullify all federal gun laws by introducing new legislation. Now West Virginia is following suit with their version of the "Firearm Protection Act."
HB2832 was introduced by Cindy Frich (R), along with five co-sponsors. According to the bill, it prohibits all state public servants from enforcing "act, law, statute, rule or regulation of the United States Government relating to a personal firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition," as long as the item remains "exclusively within the borders of West Virginia."
The bill would ban enforcement of any federal legislation which would seek to:
- Ban or restrict ownership of a semiautomatic firearm or any magazine of a firearm; or
- Require any firearm, magazine or other firearm accessory to be registered in any manner.
According to Judge Andrew Napolitano, legislation such as HB2832 would make federal gun laws "nearly impossible to enforce."

All Black legend Sir Fred 'the Needle' Allen has died aged 92.
Allen played 21 games for the All Blacks, including six Tests, all as captain from 1946-49.
Born in Oamaru, but educated in Christchurch Sir Fred played for Canterbury from 1939-41, but it was with Auckland and the All Blacks for which he is best remembered.
After serving as a lieutenant in the 27th and 30th Battalions during World War II, Allen was part of the 2nd NZEF "Kiwis" Army team that made a wonderfully successful tour of Britain in 1945/6.
After his playing career ended Sir Fred shifted into the coaches' box.
Between 1957 and 1963 he coached the Auckland provincial side, during which the province established a then-record of 25 successful Ranfurly Shield victories.
Following this he was appointed All Blacks selector in 1964 before taking over the reins from 1966 to 1968, where the All Blacks won every single one of the 14 test matches under his tutelage.
Sir Fred was made a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to rugby in 2010.
He had been previously made an OBE in 1990.
In 2002 the NZRU awarded Sir Fred the Steinlager Salver for his outstanding contribution to NZ rugby, and in 2005 he was inducted in the IRB Hall of Fame.

Screws for cabinet install
What are the best screws to use to install 1/2" plywood backed cabinets? Also, what screws are best for connecting the face frames?
Screws for fastening cabinets to the walls:
For fastening faceframe to faceframe:
Faceframes should still be predrilled even though the screws are self drillers. Drill the skinnier hole through the first faceframe and into the second. Drill a bigger hole just through the first faceframe so screw slides through it and bites into the second. I also use a countersink bit to make a slight bevel so the screw head ends up just below flush with the faceframe edge. I also drill a pilot hole just a tag larger than the screws used to fasten the cabinets to the wall.

LaJoie in, Purvis out of No. 4 Chevrolet By Dave Rodman LYNN HAVEN, Fla. (Nov. 19, 1998)A lack of sponsorship for two race teams has forced NASCAR Busch Series Grand National Division team owner James Finch to honor a commitment he made in ...
LaJoie in, Purvis out of No. 4 Chevrolet By Dave Rodman
LYNN HAVEN, Fla. (Nov. 19, 1998)A lack of sponsorship for two race teams has forced NASCAR Busch Series Grand National Division team owner James Finch to honor a commitment he made in mid-summer and end an owner-driver relationship he'd maintained for the balance of 12 years.
On Thursday, Finch said two-time NASCAR Busch Series champion Randy LaJoie would drive his No. 4 Chevrolets in 1999 in pursuit of the championship, with or without a primary sponsor; and with veteran mechanic and former employee Marc Reno as crew chief.
Due to the commitments Finch made and honored, driver Jeff Purvis and primary sponsor Lance Snacks were released from their responsibilities and commitments; and his crew chief resigned.
"I was trying to secure sponsorship for two teams, but I had made an agreement with Randy in June that we would run him in 1999 for a full season, no matter what happened, "Finch said. "We didn't have enough sponsorship for two teams, and I had given my word to Randy, so I had to release Jeff. Marc Reno was coming on board to be Randy's crew chief, so Johnny Allen, who had been my crew chief, resigned."
For his part, LaJoie is enthused about the upcoming season, after winning series championships in 1996 and1997 for BACE Motorsports owner Bill Baumgardner.
"James has got a damn good race team -- very well-run and organized -- and it has been whenever he's raced," said LaJoie, dismissing any concerns. "With the addition of Marc Reno, it's gonna be that much better. They're going to add some people, and I hope to have some input into some of that."
LaJoie, who ran his own race teams in the past and won a championship in what has become the Busch North Series, NASCAR Touring, has a lot of respect for Reno, the California native who also came out of a short-track background. Even though they've never actually worked together, LaJoie said he's familiar with Reno's work.
"I've seen some of the cars he built for (Dick) Moroso and he's helped me out a bunch in a lot of different ways, though never on the race track," LaJoie said. "I think there's no question it's going to be a good combination.
"Marc's a whole lot smarter than I am," LaJoie said of their similar backgrounds. "I understand the fundamentals and I think I'm a pretty good shoe. Learning the business the way he has and the way my dad taught me -- I think we'll mesh real well. The bottom line is we both want to win - and James is going to give us everything we need to put it together and win."
In the past, Finch has raced with his own Phoenix Construction company as a backer. Although that's not his wish, he has a definite goal for the 1999 season.
"We are hunting for a sponsor for Randy LaJoie to run for the championship, but I am committed to running the full season either way," Finch said. "Randy brings a lot to the table and this team -- I didn't consider it a good year, but we were ninth in car owner points, only 53 points out of fourth."
Finch said inconsistency was his team's biggest detractor this season.
"We had 11 top-10s, but we were in about 14 wrecks," Finch said, balancing the ledger. "We had two seconds, two thirds and some other good finishes, and the pole at Milwaukee was another highlight of our season."
While Purvis only failed to finish one race due to an accident, he was suspended, fined and forced to sit out four races at mid-season after being involved in an altercation at South Boston Speedway.
LaJoie's hiring signals the beginning of a new era for Finch, perhaps one of NASCAR racing's most diverse car owners. The North Florida construction executive has raced -- mostly with Purvis, of Clarksville, Tenn., behind the wheel -- on dirt and in such diverse asphalt divisions as the NASCAR Winston Cup Series and NASCAR Busch Series, the ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series and the Slim Jim All Pro Series, a part of the NASCAR Touring Division.
Finch said that decision was maybe the hardest, as Purvis has won for him in many of those venues.
"We've been together basically 12 years -- on dirt, the short tracks, ARCA, All Pro, some Winston Cup and in the Busch Series," Finch said, "but we needed to make a change, both for myself and for Jeff.
"We never had a written contract, and he's always done everything he promised, as I have with him. I'll tell you this -- somebody'll be proud to have him drive their car."
The team's best finish was in 1996, when Purvis won two of 26 starts and finished seventh in the championship chase.
Apparently, Purvis and Lance Snacks will be sticking together and anticipate an announcement on their racing venture in the near future.
Reno had worked for Finch for four years when he was hired prior to the 1997 season by NASCAR Winston Cup Series team owner Robert Yates. Reno was released earlier this season by Yates and, after his contract with Yates expired after the season finale, he has begun working at Finch's North Florida shop.
"We have some associate sponsors committed and we are working and planning to be at the Daytona test in January," Finch said.
LaJoie was optimistic as well.
"When we get to Daytona Beach I believe we'll have the car covered up with a very good sponsor and we've got some good associates," he said. "James has told me not to worry about it, and I'm not worried about it. It would be an added bonus for somebody to put their name on it because we're gonna win some races."

Casting Call: Who Should Play Snowden and Greenwald?
- By Elias GrollElias Groll is a staff writer at Foreign Policy, covering cyberspace and its conflicts and controversies. He has written for the magazine since 2012 and is a graduate of Harvard University.
- elias.groll
- @eliasgroll
Two pieces of recent entertainment news — Oliver Stone picking up the rights to Luke Harding's book on the Edward Snowden saga; and Sony's purchase of the rights to Glenn Greenwald's book — have sparked a heated debate here at FP headquarters: Who should play Greenwald and Snowden?
This won't be the first time espionage and journalism intersect on the silver screen. Last year, Benedict Cumberbatch delivered a masterful performance as Julian Assange in The Fifth Estate. Although Snowden and Greenwald lack some of Assange's more cinematic qualities — the silver hair, the affect — they too will surely serve as central characters in the upcoming films.
Here are our top candidates.
Number One: Ed Norton, whose name has been bandied about here at FP to play either role. It's perhaps not surprising that an actor of Norton's range would be a favorite for both roles. With an intellectual intensity that would seem to match both Greenwald and Snowden, he also falls so deeply into the category of "generic white dude" that he could probably pull off either role.
Andrew Garfield is another name perpetually mentioned here at FP as a potential cinematic Snowden. He's certainly got that vaguely nerdy thing going on, but he'd be doing incredible favors for Snowden's hair.
Beyond a vague resemblance to Greenwald, Mark Ruffalo knows how to play driven. He's currently starring as AIDS activist Ned Weeks in the film The Normal Heart, which tells the story of the early days of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
Perhaps best known for his role in The Office, B.J. Novak also appeared in Inglorious Basterds. A more attractive, less serious version of Greenwald, he'd perhaps inject a much-need dose of humor into the role.
Snowden has often been described by detractors as a disaffected, lonely, slightly weird man. If that's a caricature any of the filmmakers would care to embrace, we have your guy: Jimmi Simpson. You may remember him as the creepy hacker in the most recent season of House of Cards.
So he'd have to dye those brows — or perhaps pluck them — but isn't Daniel Radcliffe born to play Snowden? He began his career as the essential hero of coming-of-age millennials; now he could be inserted into a new morality play, this one about the evil of surveillance.
Peter Dinklage might not be around much longer on Game of Thrones, but his burgeoning on-screen buddy comedy with his brother, played by Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, has me dreading his departure. I can only pray they reunite as Greenwald and Snowden. Who's who? Come on now.

By Eric Boehm | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett issued a serious challenge to the General Assembly last week.
In his third budget address, Corbett called for a $28.4-billion budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. He included healthy boosts for education and public welfare after two years of reductions and also plans to tackle business tax reforms like setting in motion a 10-year incremental reduction to the state's corporate net income tax.
Getting a budget done on time is always a bit of a challenge, but the real test facing the Pennsylvania General Assembly is the ambitious set of other initiatives Corbett outlined.
In the next five months, the governor wants to tackle transportation funding, pension reform and privitazing the state liquor store system.
Not only are those big issues, but they are what is known in legislative parlance as "heavy lifts," meaning issues that force lawmakers to choose between two (or more) groups they normally like to play nice with and do something that will likely cause one of those groups (or, again, more) to fund an opponent when the next campaign rolls around.
I'm not convinced they are up to the task. And I'm not the only one.
A state senator – a Democrat, mind you, but not a particularly partisan one – told me on Tuesday that he has never seen a series of tough lifts like this. And he's been around for more than three decades.
He told me he is doubtful the General Assembly has the stones – my word there, not his – to step up to the plate and get it done.
"These guys haven't had to take a hard vote in years," he said. "I don't think they know what it's like."
He's right. These are the kind of issues that scare lawmakers.
It's always easier to avoid a vote than face a scary issue. And most members of the General Assembly like to take the easy route whenever possible, because the easy route doesn't end with your crucial vote being plastered all over a campaign flyer and stuffed into 50,000 mailboxes by your opponent in the next election cycle.
But Corbett challenged them to avoid taking the easy route.
"Now is not the time to be timid in our approach. Now is not the time to cling to old ideas and the status quo. Now is not the time to make small changes and expect big results," Corbett said.
And the heaviest lift of them all is, fittingly, the most important.
Part of Corbett's overall outline for the year includes making changes to the future pension benefits of current state employees. That, coupled with changes to how new hires are given retirement benefits, will start to chip away at Pennsylvania's $40 billion-and-growing pension liability.
But the public sector labor unions already have vowed to fight it tooth and nail, and to take the issue to court if the General Assembly passes changes to pensions for current employees.
And though they haven't said it directly, every member who votes for such a change knows the labor unions will paint a target on their backs.
That's part of the reason why Republican legislative leaders spent most of last week trying to slowly back away from that proposal — all while still supporting Corbett's agenda — in the legislative equivalent of how you might react if a Doberman was showing its teeth and growling.
No sudden moves, just keep smiling and walk slowly.
In both the House and the Senate, the refrain is that no one is sure whether "we have enough votes" to enact pension reform. Again, it's easier to avoid a vote than to face a tough issue.
But failing to pass pension reforms will mean deep cuts to other parts of the budget, and that's a scenario that also scares lawmakers, who pretty much keep their jobs by delivering more funding, not less.
So, yeah, it's a thorny issue.
Corbett has been criticized by many of his Republican allies in the General Assembly, loudly at times, for failing to lead during his first two years in office. Since the beginning of the year, Corbett and his team have taken a noticeably more active posture on these high-profile issues.
That culminated last week with his call to action.
"Now is the time to embrace new ideas, and now is the time to be bold," Corbett said. "Our job isn't to explain why things can't be better. Our obligation is to make things better."
Corbett has to keep the pressure on, and the General Assembly has to be willing to take up those heavy lifts now that they have a governor trying to lead.
Politically, this is the beginning of the most important five months in Corbett's tenure.
For the future of Pennsylvania, they will be pretty darn important too.

Traffic backed up due to chase, crash on I-465
A police pursuit led to a crash that is backing up traffic on the northwest side of Indianapolis.
The chase started shortly after 3 p.m. near 86th Street and Harcourt Road. An off-duty officer tried to stop a reckless driver, when on-duty units picked up the pursuit. That chase ended with a crash on I-465 southbound at 71st Street.
The crash happened in the left shoulder of southbound I-465.
Two people in a car that was struck in the crash suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Speeds topped 90 miles per hour during the chase.
Two women were taken into custody and a third person was arrested for resisting officers at the scene.
A second, apparently unrelated chase happened around the same time near 29th Street and Harding Street. That pursuit ended when the suspect bailed from the vehicle near I-65 northbound and 56th Street.
The suspect in the second chase fled to an apartment complex, but was arrested. It is not known why the suspect fled police.

Eili Klein, Ph.D
Dr. Klein is an assistant professor in the Center for Advanced Modeling in the Social, Behavioral and Health Sciences (CAM) in the Department of Emergency Medicine. He is also a fellow at the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics and Policy, in Washington, D.C. Upon finishing his PhD in ecology and evolutionary biology from Princeton University, Dr. Klein joined the Hopkins faculty in 2012.
Dr. Klein's research focuses on the role of individual behavior in the spread of infectious diseases. This area of research sits at the nexus of economics and epidemiology, and is premised on the idea of incorporating incentives for healthy behavior and their attendant behavioral responses into an epidemiological context to better understand how diseases are transmitted and how they can be controlled. This nascent field of economic epidemiology is based on the idea of improving policy responses to epidemic diseases by giving policymakers and health-care providers clear tools for thinking about how certain actions can influence disease transmission.
Dr. Klein has authored numerous publications on the evolution and spread of antimicrobial drug-resistance, with particular reference to the emergence of antibiotic and antimalarial drug resistance. Dr. Klein is actively involved in research efforts examining the ecology and epidemiology of antibiotic resistance in the United States, focusing on aspects of the emergence, spread, and economic impact of important pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, and Clostridium difficile. In addition, he is also actively engaged in understanding the impact of seasonal changes in antibiotic prescriptions on changes in resistance levels, and how the interaction between the hospital and the community influences different strains of resistance. Dr. Klein also has active research programs dealing with the emergence and spread of anti-malarial drug resistance as well as research on the role transboundary transmission of tuberculosis (TB), with a particular focus on drug-resistance forms of TB, plays in the epidemiology and economic impact of TB.

Blush Guide: Which Shade Should You Wear?
Having trouble finding your perfect blush shade? We've got tips to help you out!
Blush is one of the hardest products to pick– it's so difficult to know which one looks best! We asked two star makeup artists to help us out with tips: Ramy Gafni, the creator of RAMY beauty therapy, who has worked with Claire Danes and Naomi Watts, and Monika Crouch, Beauty Specialist at Pierre Michel in NYC, whose client list includes Rachel Ray and Mary-Louise Parker! Monika understands that women are hesitant to shake up their blush routine: "In general, people have a hard time choosing blush, so they end up sticking with what they know out of fear of not knowing what to pick!" If you're ready to try something new, or feel like you haven't yet found your ideal blush match, read on for tips!
- Pick the right shade for your skin tone! Ramy says that the following general guidelines should help: very pale skin looks good with a light pink blush, medium tones look best with peachy shades, and darker complexions can carry brighter or rosier colors. Monika suggests that cooler skin tones stick with pinker shades, while olive, yellow, and brown tones try corals.
- Don't be afraid of peach! Ramy says that, because there's generally more pink-toned blush on the market than peach or nude shades, women are drawn to pinker shades and avoid the rest. He says that peach shades (like RAMY's Alive! shade) are actually very complementary to most skin tones, and can even be used together with pinker shades. Just apply the peachier shade all over and then add a pop of the pink color to the apples of your cheeks!
- Don't worry about matching! Ramy says that it's more important to wear a blush that works with your skin tone than it is to match what you're wearing. He suggests wearing a blush that complements your skin tone, and saving the clothes matching for your eye makeup! Monika agrees that you shouldn't concern yourself with matching your clothes to your blush; she says it's more important to keep your face colors (eyes, lips, cheeks) to one "color family," like all warm or all cool colors. This way, your face looks totally pulled together!
- Don't worry about going overboard! Monika sees so many people who say that, because they're wearing a bright lip color, they feel it would be "too much" to add a cheek color, as well. She points out that cheek color actually tones down a bright lip, because it doesn't make the lip color stand out as severely as it does on a bare face. So next time a lipstick seems too bright, you may just need some blush to tone it down!

The Backstory
Back in January 2011, I set forth a plan to purge the forum of close to 25,000 dead accounts.
Back in the day, we used to host the Announcement List through the forum (we do not anymore - please go here to subscribe to the email Announcement List). Because of that (and for pre-sale passwords), many people registered on the forum, but never posted.
Also, through the years, people have registered with work and school email addresses which are no longer valid.
Both of these circumstances have caused the board to be filled with tens of thousands of dead accounts.
Not only did this slow down the board dramatically, but all the dead email addresses bounced to my email account. Every birthday, every missed Private Message, every subscribed thread alert; all of these generated bounced email messages to my inbox.
So What Has Happened?
Back in January, I emailed all users with a "zero post" count an email, saying that if they wanted to stay a member of the forum, all they had to do was let me know (first with a "reply to me" email, and then secondly with a "click here and say hello" email). Out of over 25,000 people, only about 2300 replied.
Of those 2300 (+/-), many replied with email addresses that were not registered on the forum. On some of those accounts, I have taken the liberty of replacing the old email addresses with the new ones. Also, some people replied with "don't delete me", but without supplying the registered email address, or their username. Those people have been deleted (sorry - you did not send an email with accurate information).
What All This Means
If you had a "zero-post" account, it has been deleted. For the 2300 (+/-) people who asked to preserve their "zero-post" account, and who correctly supplied the necessary info to preserver their account, I artificially boosted their post count to one, so as to not get caught in my "zero-post" mass deletion.
Still Want To Post?
Simple: re-register.
If somehow your account got deleted in the sweep, please re-register. Please note, though, that some email domains (mainly gmail.com) are blocked from registering on this forum, due to the amount of spam accounts that have flooded this board.
Please note: To read the board, you DO NOT NEED to have an account. The ONLY REASON to have an account on this forum is if you intend on posting.
If you still want to post, and can follow the rules of the F.A.Q., then register (or re-register).
Thank you for reading this.

From Harrison Kirby of Louisville, KY - Call Congress http://ilovemountains.org/call-your-rep to share your support this amazing action in progress!
Update: 22 were arrested today. Click here to donate to jail support! Visit http://appalachiarising.org/ for updates.
Yesterday I posted about lobbying Congress. I'm back in their offices today, but, well, this time I don't have their permission. Hal Rogers is a congressman from Eastern Kentucky. His district contains more mountaintop removal than any of the other 435 districts. Consequently, it is also the sickest and most depressed, and it has the shortest life expectancy. Meanwhile, he refuses to even speak to any of us about mountaintop removal. My fellow Kentuckians and I will chant, sing, and above all, stay in his office until he talks to us and agrees to end mountaintop removal. He will hear our demands for change, he will see our pictures of filthy water, and we will not leave. Nobody who lives next to a mountain deserves to have to bathe their children in red water. They should not be afraid to let their grandchildren play outside, and they should not have to watch their neighbors die of cancer. Nobody should be afraid of flyrock zooming away from a mountain and killing them in their sleep. All of these things have happened in the past, and they will continue to happen until mountaintop removal mining is ended. Hal Rogers wants to keep mining the tops off of mountains until the coal is gone, but we will stay here until Hal Rogers agrees to stop sacrificing our land and our people on the filthy altar of coal. And we have all day long.
Sit-In at Ky. Governor's Office Demanding an End to Mountaintop Removal; Participants include Acclaimed Author Wendell Berry, retired coal miner Stanley Sturgill, activists Teri Blanton, Bev May and Mickey McCoy
Follow http://twitter.com/deepdownfilm for updates.
Actions spoke louder than words in the capitol of the Bluegrass State this morning as 20 Kentucky writers, grassroots activists and coalfield residents staged a sit-in at Ky. Gov. Steve Beshear's office. The group of local residents, grassroots activists and noted writers demanded an end to mountaintop removal and protection for their land, water and health. Kentucky residents have long lobbied their state government to act in their best interests, yet been consistently ignored by an administration in the pocket of King Coal.
This sit-in is another escalating action in a multi-state campaign that has spanned West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Washington D.C., North Carolina and many other places for the past several years calling for an end to mountaintop removal coal mining.

I have fine, extremely dry, box colored hair, so I have been on the hunt for a hydrating shampoo. This shampoo is not the one for me. The scent is more chemical than anything else and my hair was super frizzy after one use. I tried it 5 more times and each time worse than the last. My hair actually felt more brittle after each use. I had high hopes because I read great reviews...but everyone is different. Maybe if I had healthier hair it would be better but even then the smell of the product is just not for me.1
I bought this without trying it first because I wanted a jasmine scented shampoo. The shampoo smells more like the plant than the flower. It's not a bad smell though not the scent i was looking for.
It works alright as a shampoo, I still use conditioner after using it as a shampoo.
