Novel to its Board of Directors. "The Chicago Cultural Mile is fortunate to have two board members who will bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the organization. Like the association's famous founder, Lawrence M. Pucci, these men have a passion for the area's many offerings," according to J.R. Davis, President of the Chicago Cultural Mile. John W. McCarter, Jr. is President Emeritus of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago where, until his retirement in 2012, he served as the museum's President and Chief Executive Officer for 16 years.

Additionally, the Chicago Cultural Mile recently hired Sharene Shariatzadeh as its new Executive Director. "Sharene brings an artistic passion and a proven track record in business development to her work at the Chicago Cultural Mile," Davis said. Prior to serving in her current position, Shariatzadeh served as Director of Business Development for the Chicago News Cooperative, a start-up not-for-profit news agency best known for producing the twice-weekly Chicago Report for The New York Times. She also served as Director of Business Development & Strategy for Real Green Media where she developed and managed funding partners and executed programs that teach students about the environment.

Student Journalists Highlight 'Reality' Inside NYC High Schools
The current editions of student publications are teeming with insight as to what the daily experience is for school-aged teens in the city. From hard lock downs and testing overhauls to waste surveys and feminist clubs, a recent survey of school newspapers and news sites highlighted how much of a role students are taking in their own learning and engagement.
Safety and Risks
In light of school shootings in other parts of the country, local school safety procedures came under the microscope at International High School at LaGuardia Community College and at Benjamin Banneker Academy.
Soft and hard lock downs are used "when there is a threat or intruder inside of the building," writer Deborah Kubwayo explained in The Scholar Warriors Journal. "Teachers and staff are to turn off the lights and usher all students against a wall out of sight from window or doors and to pull in any students that might be in the halls. Students are to remain quiet and look from instructions from teacher."
The International Insider stayed true to its name with a third of the stories in a recent 18-page edition focused on international news. However, school news wasn't ignored. Gabriella Cianci covered a controversial decision by the principal of CSI High School for International Studies to ban cross dressing on Halloween, due to an incident at a previous school he worked in. Some students felt the rule was a human rights violation but Principal Joseph Canale told Cianci it was a matter of student welfare.
"We wouldn't dress up as a blind person or a person with down [sic] syndrome," he told the paper.
The Scholar Warriors Journal didn't shy away from racy topics either. Johana Saimbeau's page one story "Going for a 'Home Run'?" informed students that is possible to get an STD from oral sex. "An unwanted doctor's visit is not where you end up," Saimbeau wrote.
Change is the New Normal
Midwood High School piloted a new approach to improve on its academic record, the Argus newpaper reported. Instead of making students who are most likely to cut classes walk from classroom to classroom, increasing the likelihood they won't get to their destination, the students stay in one place and the teachers come to them.
Getting on board with the city's trial of composting, Curtis High School's environmental club held an event to show students how food waste and paper could be turned into fertilizer instead of landfill, The Curtis Log reported. In a similar vein, The Clinton News, the 101-year-old newspaper of Dewitt Clinton High School, covered the school's first waste audit. According to Maribel Vitagliani's front page story, 50 percent of the school's waste is from food and 17 percent from paper. The Environmental Affairs Club initiated a paper recycling campaign as a result of the audit.
The school might waste less food if it had a bagel bar, like Midwood High School. As the only site for the city's trial program for the breakfast addition, the school fed 150 more students a day during the two-week period, Argus reported.
"I usually never eat breakfast, but since the new bagels were added, I started going to second period with a bagel I made at the end of first period," student Jacky Cham told the paper.
It's a tactic that Bard High School Early College could learn from. The Bardvark reported that cafeteria numbers are so low that the school may lose it, a problem for the 150 students at the school who qualify for free lunch. On average the cafeteria serves fewer than 60 lunches a day, Iolanthe Brooks wrote.
An ingenious article by Vivian Yan in the BaccRag provided students ways to make school lunch more appealing at the Baccalaureate School for Global Education. Examples include "Mashing Sun Chips with your first or heavy binder until you can feel little crumbs. Put the crumbs between your sandwich for a nice and satisfying crunch" and "Squirt a lot of salad dressing into a section on your tray as a dip for carrots and cucumbers."
After School Specials
Even late into the school year new clubs are popping up in the high schools. Bard started a feminist club called Students Taking Action for Gender Equality, according to The Bardvark. Table tennis and badminton will be added to PSAL offerings at Townsend Harris. McCourt News profiled the "Random Acts of Kindness" club at Frank McCourt High School. The goal of the new club, Afia Eama and Tamara Casco wrote, are "projects that can make people within the school just simply smile."
Students at Stuyvesant High School devised a creative outlet for themselves with Project Ink. The goal: "Create an original novel by stringing together stories contributed by multiple Stuy students," The Spectator reported.
The joy of literature isn't lost at other schools either. The Classic found that 58 percent of Townsend Harris students read more than three hours a week for pleasure. And the book club at Queens Vocational and Technical High School has more members than it has books, the Voc Voice reported.
The Opinion Page
An opinion by Jake Christensen in The Survey protested rulings in Texas, New Mexico and Utah that allow computer language courses to meet foreign language requirements.
"Computer science is more than learning a programming language, and is more about math and science than language arts. This makes putting them in the same subject area very counterintuitive," the Brooklyn Technical High School student wrote.
A French exchange student shed some light on the cultural difference between New Yorkers and Parisians in an article for the Horace Mann Record. Jean Clavero noticed "that kids here procrastinate more." He also said his Parisian cafeteria is only open for lunch and the menu is "not very healthy (it can sometimes be pizza and fries)." While here, he experienced Passover. "While my host family thought their seder lasted so long, it was only two hours-- most dinners in France last until midnight."

Individual rights are strangers who have never knocked on the door of the Iranian government since the religious clerics who run the nation regard anyone who disagrees with their world view to be either an unbeliever or heretic. Iranian police shut down the offices of Nobel Peace Laureate and lawyer, Shirin Ebadi, as part of a nation wide crackdown against human rights activists. Ebadi was told by police to leave the premises and not to return. A government agency argued Ms. Ebadi's human rights group did not have a permit from the Interior Ministry to operate. It would be unusual for an Interior Ministry to issue permission to an organization which regards its behavior as illegal and in violation of international law regarding freedom of speech. The police ransacked the offices and insulted those who worked for human rights.
Shirin Ebadi and a small group of lawyers have been fighting for human rights against an entire government structure that regards such activities as illegal. She has criticized the Iranian criminal code as in violation of basic Islamic views on women and their rights.

Love World Of Goo, but can't sneak in the occasional round while you're supposed to be working? Fret not — Kyle Gabler of 2D Boy has released the game's official soundtrack, so you can pretend you're playing.
The soundtrack is 49 minutes long, and consists of a rather awesome blend of digitally synthesized instruments. It's also free, which should be enough to convince devotees to give it a download. If you haven't actually played the game yet, it's easily well worth $20, and available on the PC, Mac, and Wii.
The file weighs in at 85MB, and you'll want to grab it while you still can — mirrors are popping up, but the site is being obliterated by ravenous fans.

Severe Rattle - Rear Liftgate Glass
Vibrates over bumps and continuously over 75MPH. Anyone sale had this problem? Reminds me of my rolling scrap metal WK.
Also, creaking is coming from my steering column and something broke loose inside my drivers side door and is rolling around (very annoying).
...and my seat heater won't stay on more than 10 minutes. Once it switches off it won't come back on either.
Going to the shop Wednesday but damn I really don't want to be dealing with these types of issues again.
13,5XX miles.
Can someone call the whaaaambulance for me?
Re: Severe Rattle - Rear Liftgate Glass
Hopefully the dealer will make it right. Maybe the flipper glass lock has to be adjusted. Just my 0.02
Re: Severe Rattle - Rear Liftgate Glass
Check the hinges of the flipper glass. They are glued on, and some members had them comming loose, scratching the paint. :eek:

Hello! What have you been up to recently? Since Christmas I've been working very hard on two really big projects. One is called Wise, which is the Work In Sport Exhibition. We're trying to get businesses to take on retired sports stars, so we're educating the athletes and the businesses about the benefits. And also a big event for a charity called Wings for Life, where we've been trying to raise lots of funds by organising a big world run.
You do a lot of charity work and TV presenting. How much time do you spend training these days? And does it ever involve jumping over hurdles? I never jump over hurdles! I only jump when I need to demonstrate to young people … but I never actually do them myself. I haven't got the power! But I really enjoy being active. I think of training as something you do just to keep active, so it can be anything you want it to be, from hill walking to climbing, going on a bike, going to the gym … I do a lot!
Where is your favourite place to run and why? My favourite place to compete used to be Rome because conditions were always perfect; it was just a magical place. You feel a sense of history even when you are just warming up for the event.
Do you remember your first ever race? I do! I was four years old and I was third in my competition in the city of Cardiff, so I was the third-fastest four-year-old in Cardiff.
Where are the two who were in front of you now, then? Prison! No, I remember it really well, I can still remember the nerves were virtually identical to what I felt in the Olympics or World Championships. Perhaps that's what set me up well.
What's your greatest running achievement? Probably my first global title as a youngster. I was 19 when I won the World Junior Championships in Athens. That really was important and special. That would be my number one.
When someone asks for a training tip, what do you tell them? Have fun! If you can't have fun you won't work hard, and if you don't work hard you won't get the benefit of your training. So it is an easy training tip for people to understand.
Do you like a running gadget? If so, what's your favourite? Probably my iPhone because it's got everything, and all sorts of statistics on there. I use that a lot, all the different training apps that are available. So it's probably the most important gadget for me.
Do you run to music? I don't run to music, no. I do like skiing and snowboarding to music, which is perhaps strange, but not running – it's just not something I've been used to.
What's your favourite post-race indulgence? Chocolate! Plenty of it: 200g of chocolate. That's a BIG bar, trust me. And a nice cup of coffee to wash it all down.
What is the worst thing about running? The worst thing is the potential for getting injured; that's the thing that nobody enjoys. You spend so much time in recovery that you always seem to be getting back to where you left off.
And the best? The best thing is that it makes you feel like you are free. To me, when things are going well, it's a really wonderful feeling. Liberating is the word I'd use.
What do you eat on the morning of a race or a long run? Not much. Most probably yoghurt, coffee, maybe some fruit. Then later on some eggs, but nothing too elaborate.
What's the furthest distance you've ever run? 19 miles.
That's very exact! Yes, and I said it with venom, too! It was supposed to be only a half marathon but I ended up running 19m for a friend's event. I survived!
If you had to choose who to watch, would it be Mo Farah or Usain Bolt? That's an awful question! I enjoy both for different reasons. The jeopardy of watching Mo is what's nerve-wracking. A 10,000m race is like a chess game and you are watching, wondering what's going on and what's going to happen. And Usain is just the whole excitement of watching his performance because you're just never sure what he's going to do. Well, apart from win!
Who is the greatest runner ever? Ooh … I think you judge a runner by the way they inspire you. The person who inspired me the most was Edwin Moses, so I'd put him up there as the greatest runner ever.
• Colin Jackson is an ambassador for the Standard Chartered Great City race, which takes place on 10 July. The race raises funds for Seeing is Believing, a global initiative that helps tackle avoidable blindness.

John Woo Talks Expendables Sequels
He's Open to Directing! I can't imagine how awesome an Expendables III would look like with John Woo behind the lens. The man is a legend. We got an exclusive from our associate who personally knows Woo and he took that chance to ask Woo about "The Expendables" franchise. The man writes :
Que : I've just seen The Expendables II and would like to know if you have seen it and your opinion about the film?
Woo : It was very big in China and all over the news. It was a great movie. I saw it with my family. We all love the action. Van Damme made a believable villain.
Que : Yes Van Damme, he worked with you before in....?
Woo : Hard Target Yes. and we are planning to work again real soon. He has a residence here in China so sometimes we catch up with things. Van Damme is very big in China.
Que : I look forward to that and also there is some news on the Internet about fans lobbying you to direct Expendables III if it happens. Will you do it?
Woo : (Laughs) I read that. I am a big fan of all those guys and I will do it but I want less studio and producer interference. I want to shoot the movie the way I want. That's the difference making a movie in China and Hollywood. In China, The Studio and producer allow flexibility to the director. One thing for sure is, I want it to take place in China. I also have a vision of this big fight between Jet Li and Van Damme but then they have killed him off.

Dome Light Stays On...Doors are on
OK, I've had problems with my dome lights since I got my Jeep. They will turn on and off whenever they want. Headlight switch is off, they will be on. Fuse 4 is pulled, they are on. Doors open or closed, they are on. I think it's a short and after some playing around, I think it's on the driver's side. I noticed the dome light would flicker when I slammed the drover's door. I jiggled all the wiring from the speaker bar to the dash and opened up the dash and wiggled wires. It stayed on.
Well, duh, the door was open. I closed the door and off it went. OK, so I moved something and it worked. All the wiring looks stock, in other words no one has hacked into it. Any likely areas to recheck? Places where wires are known to rub and develop shorts? Just trying to not have to check every inch of wiring if I can help it. Thanks!!
When I pull on the harness behind the small kick panel by the door strap hook, the dome light was going on and off. Now when I pull on it it stays off. Must be something in that area. Just too hot outside to keep at it for very long. Driveway will be in shade soon.
I am having the same issue right now with my interior light by the pedals flickering. I have played with all the wires and grounds that I can find. This has been an electrical nightmare since I got it from the PO, and his teenage son wired up anything he wanted to anything else. Since I bought a high-school electrical experiment, I have been fixing all sorts of things. This one has me stumped. I replaced the dash speakers last week, and since then, it has been doing it more often than it used to. Checked all the connections near the speakers and I see nothing rubbing. Hoping to fix it soon, becuase it is hard to tell after I close the door if the light went out in the daylight hours, and I would hate to come out to a dead battery after work.
To reitterate the question asked by the OP, is there somewhere that is a common place for wires to cross? Does anyone know where that little light is grounded at so I can check/move it? Any help is greatly apprecaited!
I would disconnect the door switch and see if the problem goes away. These are known to go bad and are fairly cheap to replace if they are the culprit.
Door switches were unplugged by the PO (he loved taking the doors off), and were just dangling under the dash. Must have been touching something to complete a circut, because after I plugged them in, problem went away. Thanks for the help!
Well...problem seemed to go away, but didn't. Light still flickers on, mostly when going over bumps in the road. I have to hit the knee board a few times right by the light to get it to go out. Any ideas??

I did that to a couple boards a few years back. Makes for a fun little project. A lot of times you can buy a blank deck at your local skate shop for stupid cheap.
My experience was that they didn't turn particularly sharp, but they were really easy to kick and felt super stable (granted my max speed was maybe 35).

Thanks to "Jens" for his help, I found the way to export the Mathematica
3.0 formulas into Word graphics with good resolution:
Put in the notebook (or any notebook) the line:
SetOptions[Display,ImageResolution->600] and execute it. Next export
the notebook to HTML.
Then use PaintShopPro to convert the .GIF images of the formulas to .TIF
images and import those images into your word document where you want
it. Then adjust the size of the pictures (to 19% of original with font
11p does it for me).
I still don't know how to adjust the size of the pictures while
decreasing there measures to view them in a browser.

This is caused by an oversight in the internal code for Residue.
In early versions of Mathematica, hyperbolic functions were automatically
converted to exponentials, so functions like Residue never had to
deal with hyperbolic functions directly. When these automatic conversions
were removed, Residue was modified to include the new functions, but
a typo in the modification causes it to fail for Csch.
As you point out, Residue does know how to do the problem if Csch
is converted to something else:
In[30]:= Residue[Unevaluated[1/Sinh[z]], {z, I Pi}]
Out[30]= -1
n[37]:= res[f_, x_] :=
Residue[Unevaluated[f], x] /. Csch[t_] :> 1/Sinh[t]
In[38]:= res[1/Sinh[z],{z,I Pi}]
Out[38]= -1
In[39]:= res[Csch[z],{z, I Pi}]
Out[39]= -1

Tennis ends with tourney
Barbara Lawlor
Last Sunday, Oct. 13, was a typical fall day, perfect for a tennis tournament. Cool, not much wind, a bit of sunshine and aspen leaves drifting onto the court. Even after the late spring snow and epic flood rain, it was a great season. The Nederland Tennis Association welcomed pickle ball, the new sport that has been embraced by the Nederland Area Seniors and requires a net and a court.
Because the Nederland Hockey Association needs to have time to make board repairs, the tennis season is ending earlier. The total use over the summer was 1,042. Thirty season passes were sold and used 115 times. There are 24 NTA members.
Sunday about 20 people started out in the doubles tournament and by late afternoon it came down to eight participants who took turns playing with each other so everyone played with everyone else. At the end, players received a point for being on the winning team of each game and all the points were added up.
Debbie Davenport took first place; Kate Crain took second place and Dallas Masters took third place.
After the tournament, the players gathered at the Wild Mountain Smokehouse for hilarity, drinks and food as the awards were presented.

Thousands visit remains of youngest Catholic saint near Chicago
By Nikitta Foston
ORLAND PARK, Ill. (Reuters) - Thousands gathered at a church in suburban Chicago on Wednesday to visit a display holding the remains of Maria Goretti, an 11-year-old Italian girl who became the Roman Catholic Church's youngest saint.
The skeleton of Goretti, who was stabbed to death during an attempted rape in 1902, was encased in a wax statue lying inside a clear glass coffin. Viewers waited for hours to approach the display, and many were moved to tears. Goretti is seen as a symbol of forgiveness and mercy in a violent world.
The display at the St. Francis of Assisi church in Orland Park, southwest of Chicago, is part of a first-ever visit to the United States, and will take in 16 states. The remains also drew huge crowds at a viewing in Chicago on Monday.
Visitor Kathy McNolte, 43, said Goretti was an example of how violence could be met with mercy - a message she said was especially needed in Chicago, which saw 435 homicides in 2014, according to the Chicago Tribune.
"She showed mercy and we need to show that," said McNolte, who has three sons. "I'm here for my boys. They need someone to emulate. We need people who are kind and loving and forgiving to look up to."
Goretti was stabbed 14 times near Anzio, Italy, but asked forgiveness for her 20-year-old attacker before her death, according to the church.
"I forgive Alessandro Serenelli ... and I want him with me in heaven forever," she said in the hospital. After Serenelli's release from prison, he became a lay brother in a monastery.
The tour is a prelude to the "Year of Mercy," set to begin Dec. 8. It was declared by Pope Francis, leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics. Continued...

Those who have installed them. Which clips did you use in the front and which ones for the rear. Seems like either one could work front or rear. The diagrams look the same and I'm sad to report I can't read Chinese. LOL
I'll check tomorrow and let you know!
Thanks. Hopefully i can clean my car and get them on this weekend.

For those of you who haven't received delivery of your car yet, you might try what I did. I purchased my slash guards, then when my car was delivered to the dealer, I asked if they would install them before I took delivery. My salesman made this happen, and there was no charge.
Installed mine this past weekend. I'll post pics up soon. I just need to snap a few.

Joey Barton maintained his focus was on returning stronger to boost QPR's drive towards Barclays Premier League stability after accepting he deserved to be stripped of the club captaincy and fined six weeks wages for his sending off at Manchester City on the final day of last season.
Barton, 29, was hit with a lengthy suspension and fined £75,000 by a Football Association-appointed independent regulatory commission last month. He was dismissed for elbowing Carlos Tevez, then kicking out at Sergio Aguero as he left the pitch in the match on May 13, before aiming a headbutt in the direction of Vincent Kompany.
Although Barton will not be part of Mark Hughes' squad for the pre-season tour of Asia, the midfielder said in a series of Twitter posts: "I wish to put it behind me now and help QPR, once available of course, push on towards the top half. I was stupid and that what happens when u [sic] do dumb things. I am confident ill [sic] bounce back. Cannot wait."
Barton has been warned that his contract will be terminated should he "seriously breached the club's disciplinary procedures again".
Barton added: "I was reckless and deserved every punishment I received. Money comes and goes, it's not important to me. Losing the captaincy and missing 12 games is what really hurts."
Barton has a long history of controversy, both on and off the pitch.
In 2008, he was given a six-month jail term after admitting assault and affray. During his time as a player at Manchester City, Barton was fined after he stubbed a lit cigar in the eye of young team-mate Jamie Tandy during the club's Christmas party. Earlier this month, Barton was arrested for affray following a night out in Liverpool with his girlfriend.
In his official club statement, the player issued an unreserved apology.
"My behaviour was wrong and I accept the punishment that has been imposed upon me as a result," the statement read.
"I apologise to the manager, my team-mates and of course the QPR fans for my actions. I also apologise to the Manchester City players, staff and supporters."

I love when special gifts become a part of daily life for the recipient – the personalized coffee mug that he'll use every morning, the calendar she'll enjoy year-round, and of course, that classic yet stylish piece of Silver Artisan Jewelry that you'll notice her wearing again and again. Our Heringbone Bracelet is exactly that kind of piece. It is one of the styles I would immediately select when looking for a Silver Jewelry Gift that is sure to get a lot of use. It's an elegant design that will never go out of style, and its sturdy clasp ensures that she'll never lose her favorite accessory. All of our Silver Artisan Bracelets are handcrafted with .950 sterling silver, with the highest standards for quality. Browse the whole collection to find the one that is perfect for that special someone.
Happy Thanksgiving to our readers and customers. We all have so much to be thankful for, and we hope you enjoy a relaxing day with family and friends. Friday is the official start to the Christmas shopping season, but instead of dealing with the crowds at the mall, why not enjoy a cup of coffee in your pajamas while browsing through our selection of unique Jewelry Gifts? Shop by price range or style for a simple, stress-free holiday. You can also be confident in your purchase, knowing we guarantee the quality of our .950 sterling silver jewelry, and that a portion of our proceeds goes back to the artisan community in Peru. We're thankful for the opportunity to support artisans while sharing this unique jewelry collection with our fans.
It's November 1st, or to many people, the first day of the holiday season! The Nor'easter that surprised New England this weekend has also added to our excitement for the winter holidays. With snow on the ground, it seems fitting to start making our Christmas lists and thinking of unique gift ideas. What could be more unique than a real Butterfly Wing Necklace? One of the most popular designs from our Butterfly Wing Jewelry collection, this heart-shaped pendant is handcrafted with .950 sterling silver. The butterfly wings are gathered after the butterflies live their natural lives, and preserved in jewelry so their beauty is eternal. This particular butterfly is called the "88" because of the figure eight designs on its wings. It is native to Peru and South America, and is a reminder of the exotic sights of the Peruvian landscape. And of course, the heart is a reminder of your love for the one who receives this gorgeous gift. This Peruvian Jewelry style is handmade in small quantities, making it a unique treasure.
Halloween will be over within a week, and then everyone will start focusing on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Many people have already started their holiday shopping, and Christmas trees and snowmen are popping up in stores. Whether you'd like to do your shopping early this year or are just starting to think of ideas, Tikanchay has a collection of unique Silver Jewelry Gift ideas that make fool proof presents. With the price of gold skyrocketing, many people who love fine jewelry but also value bargains are looking for high end sterling silver designs. Tikanchay jewelry is made with .950 Peruvian silver, which puts it in a class all its own. In addition, the native Peruvian stones, shells and other natural materials make it exotic and unique. Your friends and family aren't likely to forget the real butterfly wing necklace or hand carved gourd pendant you chose for them, and are sure to be impressed with your thoughtfulness. Keep these unique designs in mind as you make your shopping list for the 2011 holiday season.
Handcrafted Peruvian accessories like Huayruro Seed Jewelry make unique gifts for any occasion. Travelers often bring back alpaca scarves and hats, carved gourds and Huayruro accessories for friends and family after a trip to Peru, but other than that, many people don't know where to find these exotic handmade gifts. Our sister site, Lucky Seeds, is now selling Huayruro Seed Jewelry in many styles at affordable prices. And with flat rate $5 shipping, buying online is the easiest way to find a unique gift. Within the next four to six weeks, everyone will start thinking about interesting gifts for the holidays. Lucky Seeds could be your one stop shopping destination for the women in your life, without ever leaving your couch! Choose a Huayruro Seed Bracelet or earrings for all of the important ladies on your list. You can even give two gifts in one with this Reversible Huayruro Seed Bracelet. This organic good luck jewelry is always handmade with natural seeds from Peru, making it a special gift that won't be forgotten.
How can a gourd be used to make gorgeous artisan jewelry? With the talent of Peruvian artisans, of course. Their tradition of carving gourds goes back thousands of years, and was once a way of relaying information and telling stories. Today, virtually any kind of pattern or design can be found on gourds throughout Peruvian markets. Birds, butterflies, flowers and animals are among the most popular gourd carvings. Others depict traditional dancers, the Amazon jungle, or a series of intricate traditional motifs, like the Carved Gourd Necklace pictured here. I own an entire collection of gourds with all of the aforementioned designs, and I am still amazed when I see a new and creative take on gourd carving. Before carving, the gourds are dried in the sun. This preserves them for decoration purposes and allows for the intricate details that make gourd art so fascinating. Some gourds are cut in half in a zigzag pattern to become little boxes, and others are cut into pieces so the tiny designs can be inlaid into gourd jewelry. These carved gourd necklaces, bracelets and earrings are a very unique form of organic jewelry.
Silver artisan jewelry is one of the most popular categories of accessories in stores today. Although fashion jewelry of lesser quality is still common as well, today many women are choosing to spend their money wisely, on jewelry pieces that will stand the test of time. Silver artisan bracelets, necklaces and earrings can be worn again and again, without the tarnishing, broken clasps and other issues with cheaper jewelry. Artisan jewelry is, as the name suggests, handcrafted by artists who have mastered the craft of jewelry making. Forging silver and setting semi-precious stones is a true art form, as shown in this Inlaid Silver Artisan Bracelet. Along with a blend of traditional and modern designs, you can also get a feel for an artisan's personal style while looking at their work and the work of other jewelry makers. Each piece of artisan jewelry starts as a vision, and ends as a wearable piece of art.
Good luck jewelry is one the most thoughtful gifts you can give. There are so many special occasions when we like to wish our family and friends good luck. A new transition, move, job or baby, a marriage or engagement, a graduation; the list goes on and on. You may think the only option for a good luck charm is a traditional good luck symbol like a four leaf clover or a horse shoe, but a new form of good luck jewelry is available for the first time in the U.S. It isn't new to Peruvians, however, who have used this exotic good luck charm for centuries. It's called huayruro jewelry, and it is made with natural seeds that grow in the Amazon rainforest. Each seed is both red and black, and the striking colors make them the perfect material for creating exotic jewelry. However, they aren't just worn for their beauty. Peruvians believe the seeds have the power to ward off negative energies and attract wealth, good fortune and abundance. These meaningful good luck necklaces, bracelets and earrings make great conversation pieces, and are sure to be treasured by the recipient. This good luck charm necklace is exotic enough to receive attention and compliments, but is simple enough for everyday wear.
Peruvian sodalite is a very interesting stone. Sodalite is a stone for writers, public speakers and anyone who desires clear communication. It is said to increase clarity of thought and help people convey their true feelings, especially in important relationships. With increased communication comes less stress and tension, so sodalite is also said to bring peace and relaxation to those who wear it. Aside from these fascinating metaphysical properties, sodalite ranges from a cloudy light blue to a rich royal blue. The deeper the stone, the more desirable it is, but this also depends upon personal preference. Some sodalite stones are dyed to look more attractive, but the stones in Tikanchay jewelry are natural. They are cut and polished for the most attractive look, but they are not altered from their original color. Each piece of Sodalite Jewelry from Tikanchay is made with authentic Peruvian Sodalite. This includes the Sodalite Pendant to the left. The stone is accented by a handcrafted sterling setting and chain.
As everyone takes out their summer clothes this week, it's also time to go through our favorite accessories and pack some away for next winter. Summer accessories should be lightweight, fun and flirty. The right jewelry can dress up a simple sundress effortlessly. These Hammered Spiral Artisan Earrings are one of our favorite pairs for summer. The spiral represents the sun, which is an important traditional motif in Peruvian art. It can also represent eternity. Don't we all wish the sun could be out everyday? Celebrate the sunshine and change of seasons with these Artisan Earrings, or another pair from our Artisan Jewelry collection, and you're sure to start the season off on the right foot!

Before I start this blog I warn you it might get short as I had far too much beer.... more about it later on!
Yesterday I actually managed 550km, still without sheep fur on the saddle though. Conclusion: 400-450km are ok, everything else is worth a message to Human Rights Watch!!!
From the cosy motel in the middle of nowhere I drove through to Haines Junction and the landscape was still just breathtaking: simply incredibly wide and huge; the colour green dominates, just broken up by a few pink Lupines.
Wildlife seen so far: none! But then, at 1350km I finally see three wild animals. They saved my day: 3 super small rabbits... isn't that cute? But from bear and co. still no trace. But hey, I do not want to moan after all the three rabbits were wild.
I set up my tent in Haines Junction and as WIFI wasn't really working fine I just went to sleep.
Besides the rather restless night - not bears but a massive snoring tent neighbour (10 meters away)! - I was waken up this morning by 3 USA motorcycles. What normally would be a nice sound, something I do not need at eight o'clock in the morning. Really: the engines running for 15 minutes, practically next to my tent.
After I got up I had to do some duties first: tensioning and lubricate chain, which worked out quite well. Otherwise a rather modest start to the day. Well, what can I say,the day was somehow not going to get any better as once back on the road and after about 50km the odometer broke down .... hmmmm .... ok, then we "feeing". Not bad either ;-)
As it flickered every now and then on the display, I assumed that it just had contact problems - unlike me ..... So I should somehow manage that in the evening (tutoring in "contact finding").
Once in Whitehorse, I set-up the tent quickly at the Hot Springs and drove back to the city, finally I buy a SIM card for Canada -easier said than done. After what felt like 1000 hours we found out that my cellphone did not work in Canada ("grey-market cell phone, other frequencies, blah blah blah...). So I just bought the cheapest phone in Wallmart (still way too expensive) and headed back to the campsite. Wanted to actualise my blog and take some pictures of the squirrels running around. But you know what? my camera just did not work; the display a mix of grey and white ggrrrr, ggrrrrr ...., I'm giving up now.
I went to calm down in the Hot Springs. What a relief after all these troubles.
Since I was able to recharge my laptop in the hostel office, I allowed myself something small to eat and to drink in the restaurant of the Hot Spring. That was the plan - I looked briefly at the menu (with US small draft beer show up always first) and ordered the beer right at the top. The waitress did not flinch a second and brought me the ordered Pitcher - 1.89Liter beer !!!!!!! with out any questions? About the salad (at least something healthy), the potato specialty of the French cooking chef and about the price, I do not leave any more words...
Conclusion: Tonight I probably will have to flee many times out of the tent, tomorrow I will have to buy a new camera and try to establish the contact of the odometer... and hope that it will be a better day.

write the summary of the poem "song of the rain". i need this!!!!
Rain is dotted silver threads dropped from heaven by Gods which Nature takes away to adorn her fields and valleys. She is beautiful pearls plucked by the Daughter of the Dawn from a Sovereign's crown to embellish her gardens. The clouds and fields are lovers and she is a messenger between them. By pouring out she cures the cloud, and by coming down she quenches the thirst of the field. The voice of thunder declares her arrival and the rainbow her departure. When she cries coming down, the hills laugh and when she reaches down, the flowers rejoice; and when she has seeped down deep into the soil, all things are elated. She emerges from the heart of the Sea and soars with the Breeze. When she sees a field in need, she descends and downpours and embraces the flowers and trees in her own million little ways. In human houses, she touches the windows with soft gentle fingers and all can hear her welcome song which only the sensitive can understand. She is born out of the heat in the air which in her turn she kills, exactly as a woman overcomes a man with the strength she takes from him. Rain is the sigh of the sea, the laughter of the field and the tears of the Heaven and Love.

: Fitbit...anyone have one?
Has everyone heard of this? It's basically just a pedometer, but apparently it's works well and can sync wirelessly with your iPhone and computer to track your steps and calories burned over time.
Fitbit Zip Wireless Activity Tracker
They have one you can wear while sleeping that apparently can report how good your sleep is, too (I guess by how much you're moving around?)
Basically, if it really works as a pedometer, and syncs easily, I want one. I love data, and I think it will help me to walk more if I can really see it. With regular pedometers I know they're sensitive to where you clip them...I'm not sure if it's the same case with this. I guess that's my question. It says you can clip it to your bra, even. But I guess I want to know if it really has to be dangling off of me, or if I can actually secure it more. I don't want it to be too visible where people ask me about it!

PARIS, Fra.–A review of railway freight development has been completed at the request of International Transport Forum member country Mexico, to support the Mexican government's work in transforming its railway sector over the last fifteen years.
The International Transport Forum is the transportation arm of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The report will be presented to the Mexican Senate Commission on Transport on February 19 . It provides specific recommendations regarding strengthened regulation and improved data collection as a basis for sound policy decisions.
Drafted by a team of ITF experts, the report was produced in close collaboration with the Ministry of Transport as well as key industry players including major railway companies and the Mexican Railway Association, said an ITF release. The report will be published shortly.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but this just isnt in N.O.
This is a discussion on No justice in N. O. within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; truly amazing, this is what happens when a legal system collapses. http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/frontpa...140.xml&coll=1...
truly amazing, this is what happens when a legal system collapses.
Sorry to burst the bubble, but this just isnt in N.O.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
Well please allow me to be the first to point out that from my scan of the article it deals with a civil right that is just as vital as the 2nd ammendment ( speedy trial ) . If the prosicutors cannot make a case in 180 days from an arrest then the accused SHOULD walk free . I dont care if they are accused of murder , or possession of a firearm during an emergancy ( NO specific charge i belive lol ) . Point is it takes probable cause to effect an arrest , and if the .gov dingleberrys cannot move from that to trial in half a dammed year , why should anyone be wearhoused in a jail untill it meets the convienance of the .guv drones to address the case ?
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
We have the right to a speedy trial, even though it means some scumbags get let out on the streets.
We have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, even though it means some ******** with slick lawyers will beat the rap.
We have the right to keep and bear arms, even though some idiots will use a gun to hold up the local stop-n-rob.
We accept the cost of bad people misusing these rights because guaranteeing these rights to law abiding citizens is worth far more than the damage criminals do when they misuse them.
i think 60 days is plenty of time for charges to be brought against a criminal. actually, i think that's more than enough time.
More targets on the loose.
Most of you guys have no idea what New Orleans is like. It is another country, not another city. The pretty pictures the media attempts to paint for the sake of tourism is a gigantic lie, just look at their murder rate. Native Louisianians have known for decades exactly what NO is, and it ain't pretty. New Orleans has a population that has been government supported for generations. Our tax dollars pay for their housing, schooling, medical needs, food, utilities, EVERYTHING. With no need to have a real job, they have plenty of time for their criminal enterprises. In the 2000 Census, New Orleans had a population of 484,674. It is no different now, except for 99% of the honest citizens will not go back, so that leaves a larger criminal element and fewer potential victims for them. I have been to New Orleans twice in 40 years, both times I was heavily armed, with very good reason.

that post came up pretty quick. i'm wondering how long it would have taken me to realize that point. the first natural thought is "how can you just let these murderers go free" but you really have to look at all the angles and all the reasons.
What's this button do?
Best thing to do with N.O. was not to fix the dikes so people could not return. Damn place was built below sea level. Let the sea have it back. Most of the flooding was where the scum bags lived anyway. I am tired of my tax dollars being sucked down the hole by their mayor and freeloaders. IMHO.

(500) Days of Summer [Blu-ray Boxset] [Includes Digital Copy]
2 discs
Region 1 USA/CA (
Fans of HIGH FIDELITY and ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND will be charmed by this quirky film that sheds a linear plot in favor of a memory-driven look at a failed romance. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (BRICK) stars as Tom, a greeting-card writer who dreams of becoming an architect and finding his true love. Zooey Deschanel (THE HAPPENING) plays Summer, a vintage-looking beauty whose ideas about love are entirely modern. As Tom remembers his 500 days with Summer, his mind jumps from moment to moment, largely thinking of the good times in their trouble-filled relationship.
Indie darlings Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt are perfectly cast in this sweet, funny film that infuses the typical romantic tropes with reality. Anyone else would have caused audiences to hate Summer, but Deschanel is adorable enough that she still endears herself to viewers. Arthouse favorite Gordon-Levitt hasn't played a traditional romantic lead since 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU in 1999, but here he proves equally adept at portraying Tom's sweetness and his neuroses. Music-video director Marc Webb makes his feature debut with (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, and it's easy to see influences of his past work. The soundtrack boasts songs from Regina Spektor, Doves, Feist, Wolfmother, and, of course, The Smiths, the band that brings the couple together. Webb also adds an innovative style to the dramedy, combining a naturalistic look at love with a non-linear plot, animated vignettes, and a triumphant musical sequence. The film's mixture of cynicism and romance makes it perfect viewing for happy couples, the recently dumped, and the hopeful singles in the audience.

Critic Reviews
"[The] compelling premise is given the rueful temporal hopscotch of ANNIE HALL, adapted to two twentysomethings and new cultural references..."
Film Comment
3 stars out of 5 -- "Screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber and director Marc Webb show a real insight into the contemporary audience by creating a movie that almost literally alternates between scenes of a relationship's glorious beginning and the details of it falling apart."
Box Office
4 stars out of 4 -- "[A] delightful comedy, alive with invention....There's a little black and white, a little musical number, a little Fellini, which is always helpful in evoking a man in the act of yearning."
Chicago Sun-Times
"Much like ANNIE HALL did for a previous generation, (500) DAYS OF SUMMER may be the movie that best captures a contemporary romantic sensibility."
USA Today
"[A]n original romantic comedy....It bristles with energy, emotional and intellectual, as it flits about the dizzying highs and weeping-karaoke lows of a passionate entanglement."
Los Angeles Times
"(500) DAYS OF SUMMER finds just the right scale and tone, neither trivializing nor melodramatically overstating the delicate feelings it explores."
New York Times
"As Gordon-Levitt matures and age begins to burrow into his boyish face, he's become a relaxed yet still cerebral performer....[Deschanel] intrigues by holding her cards close to the vest."
"Marc Webb's bright bauble of a boy-meets-girl comedy is a rueful tribute to the wisdom of hindsight..."
Wall Street Journal
"In its brightest moments, (500) DAYS OF SUMMER delves honestly and insightfully into the mysteries of love and romantic chemistry, and how elusive a connection can be."
A.V. Club
"(500) DAYS is like a mood ring cued to the ups, downs, and confusions of modern love....[The film is] not just bitter or sweet but everything in between." -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[T]he sublimely smart-sexy-joyful-sad (500) DAYS OF SUMMER hits you like a blast of pure romantic oxygen. It turns the genre on its empty head and sees relationships for what they are -- a bruising business."
Rolling Stone
4 stars out of 4 -- "The hopeless romantics are sure to fall head over heels with this one."
4 stars out of 5 -- DAYS offers astute, funny insight into the confusion rife in love and infatuation. Gordon-Levitt anchors the film with an emotionally candid turn...
Total Film
Included in Entertainment Weekly's "The Best Films Of The Year" -- "[E]xciting to behold...Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel beautifully catch the mood-ring melancholia of two lovers..."
Entertainment Weekly
Ranked #9 in Rolling Stone's "The 10 Best Movies Of 2009" -- "[Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt] are star-crossed lovers to die for."
Rolling Stone
Ranked #6 in USA Today's "Top Ten Films Of 2009."
USA Today
4 stars out of 5 -- "A sharp spin on the usual rom-com formulae, this is funny, sensitive and challenges the genre's gender conventions."

Why do I mix up the word Bureau with the word Burro?
*No disrespect to the hard-working horse-like animals.
This is a discussion on BATFE just spiked my PO meter, rebranding itself "Violent Crime Bureau!" within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I'm thinking the booze was flowing over at the ATF, or is it BATFE, or is it Violent Crime Bureau, when the focus group came ...
I'm thinking the booze was flowing over at the ATF, or is it BATFE, or is it Violent Crime Bureau, when the focus group came up with this doozy. Trying to rebrand themselves into something they are NOT. Very few "A" alcohol cases (why?), very few "T' cases (why?) and they're getting their BUTTocks slapped over "F" Fast & Furious. So that leaves "E" and they've probably found a way to screw that up too. So really they are the "Bureau of Nothing Except Screwing with your American Rights of Firearm Ownership," AKA "BONES ARFO."
ATF Keeps Its Name, but Adds a New One - Law Blog - WSJThe agencys current name is something of an anachronism because it brings fewer than a hundred alcohol and tobacco cases a year. And its reputation as a firearms regulator took a hit because of the Fast and Furious scandal, the subject of a new report from the Justice Departments inspector general.

Well, between ATF, BATFE and now VCB, it's going to get confusing as to which bunch it is that's shown up across the street in their raids. And how much does all this cost just to sew the initials on the back of the uniforms even. I think they just ought to kill 2 birds with one stone. They can use initials that describes it well and one that everyone already knows. IDK ought to do it.

A burrito with some alcohol will make for an explosive enough situation that you won't need firearms to constitute deadly force.
This seems to be another example of the growing militarization of our country's justice system. These people scare me and I don't trust them to do the right thing. I believe there is power in a name--power to influence others' perception, but more importantly, their image of themselves. Already they strike me as the types that like to run big, expensive ops that let them play with their most dangerous toys, break things, and intimidate people. I seem to recall several times when they have been involved outside of their own operational domain. Frankly, I don't see the need for them. If we must have them, why not put them under the FBI; or just re-size of the FBI to handle the increased load? I dislike the current notion of needing more and more heavily armed federal agents running around inside our country with such a clear absence of oversight.
Look at it this way, the Violent Crime Bureau will be tied up for decades investigating itself.
Why don't they rename it BARF-Bureau Actually Redistributing Funds. Our funds!
Slight of hand. They're hoping the people (sheeple) will forget all it's past transgressions if it's name indicates it is now working to solve and eliminate the countries "violent crime." Sad thing is, it will probably work.
If you put lipstick on a pig.....It's still a pig....
"ATF acting director B. Todd Jones said, Thats a concept that we batted around. He added that the agency was focused on returning to its fundamental mission and said, How its labeled is less important than what it does."
Then why are you sitting around contemplating a name change? "It" wasn't doing anything while you were sitting around talking. It all seems rather pretentious to me.

|Unruh Civil Rights Act (Cal. Civil Code § 51)
Curran v. Mount Diablo Council of the Boy Scouts of America, 17 Cal.4th 670, 952 P.2d 218, 72 Cal.Rptr.2d 410 (1998), was a landmark case which upheld the right of a private organization in California to not allow new members on the basis of their sexual orientation.[1] Its companion case was Randall v. Orange County Council, 17 Cal.4th 736, 952 P.2d 261, 72 Cal.Rptr.2d 453 (1998).
In 1980, eighteen-year-old Tim Curran, an Eagle Scout, applied to be an assistant Scoutmaster in the Mount Diablo Council Boy Scouts of America. Members of the Boy Scouts of America, however, had recently learned that Curran was gay after reading an Oakland Tribune article on gay youth which featured an interview with Curran. Based on his sexual orientation, the Boy Scouts of America refused to allow Curran to hold a leadership position in their organization.
Curran sued in 1981, alleging that the Boy Scouts of America's membership requirements amounted to unlawful discrimination under California's Unruh Civil Rights Act, which required "Full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges or services in all business establishments".
This case was ultimately decided in 1998, when the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Boy Scouts of America. The court held that because the Boy Scouts of America was not considered a "business establishment" under the Unruh Civil Rights Act, it could not be required to change its membership policies so as to include homosexuals.
Psychiatrist and lawyer Richard Green was co-counsel for Curran.[2]

The search for Waldo is on at local businesses, library
The search for Waldo is on at local businesses, library
Milo Clarke is a genius. I guess every grandmother would agree. At the age of 2, he would scour the pages of the "Where's Waldo?" books and find the elusive Waldo before I did! While I would get sidetracked by the amusing characters and scenes on each page, Milo was on a mission — finding that bespectacled world traveler in his red-and-white striped shirt and hat who could blend into any crowd.
"Where's Waldo?" was created by British illustrator Martin Handford in 1987. Waldo, who began his exploits in the United Kingdom, going by the name Wally, has become a multimillion-selling global success. Around the world he has been given local names — in Croatia, he is called Jura; in France, he is Charlie; Walter is his German name; and Hetti in Hindi.
Of course, creator Handford is pleased with Waldo's success and states, "I'd like to inspire children — to open their minds, to explore more subjects, and to just be aware of what's going on around them. I'd like them to see wonder in places that might not have occurred to them."
The Westerly Library will be participating in a "Where's Waldo?" scavenger hunt, sponsored by the Other Tiger bookstore. Last summer, 250 bookstores in cities and towns across America hosted these hunts in a salute to the 25th anniversary of the publishing of the first "Where's Waldo?" book. Now it is Westerly's turn! During the month of July, a Waldo figure will be hidden in 24 local businesses and the library. Anyone who would like to play will receive a "Find Waldo Local" passport to be stamped at each venue when they discover Waldo's hiding spot. Prizes will be awarded throughout the month, and it all culminates with a Waldo shindig at the The Other Tiger on July 31.
So join Milo. Bring your children and grandchildren and enjoy the adventure of finding Waldo in Westerly!

Google Apps users need love too...
So aiming to kick-start development specifically for them (the majority of which tend to be businesses), the search giant has announced Apps Marketplace. This is a site which works similarly to Android Marketplace or the Chrome Extensions site allowing Apps users to browse applications that could prove useful to their company's current Gmail, Calendar, Docs, etc integration. Unlike Android Marketplace, however, applications produced in Apps Marketplace bolt onto Google Apps services so are entirely Cloud-based.
"The Google Apps Marketplace offers products and services designed for Google users, including installable apps that integrate directly with Google Apps," says the site's official blurb. "Installable apps are easy to use because they include single sign-on, Google's universal navigation, and some even include features that integrate with your domain's data."
Currently highlights of the Apps Marketplace include video web conferencing tools, expense reporting applications and secure eSignature services while Google has confirmed over 50 launch partners.
As for the developers themselves, they get a rather good deal since Google charges a $100 sign-up fee, but then takes just a 20 per cent revenue share of sales no-matter how many apps the developer makes or what price they decide to charge. Given that virtually all business related apps carry either an initial or annual fee, this could prove quite lucrative.
So get your best programming head on and perhaps some of Google Apps' high profile customers - which include national newspapers and even governments - could soon be topping up your bank account...
