(CNSNews.com) - Filmmaker and liberal political activist Robert Greenwald is taking another shot at Fox News Channel, accusing the cable network of "continued warmongering."
"Fox wants war with Iran," Greenwald says on his Web site, and he's urging other news networks -- ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN -- "not to follow Fox down the road to war again."
On Wednesday, Greenwald and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) were spreading the word, through a conference call, about a new viral ad campaign to expose what Fox News supposedly is doing. (Viral ad campaigns depend on people passing along a marketing message -- in this case, Greenwald's anti-Fox video -- voluntarily.)
According to Greenwald, Fox News engaged in "daily fear-mongering" in the days leading up to the war with Iraq, serving as a media cheerleader for the U.S.-led war.
"The 24/7 images, sound effects, yelling and threatening were an ever-present drumbeat for war," Greenwald said on his Web site. "We had to invade, and we had to invade now...anyone who didn't see that was a traitor. They (Fox News) viciously attacked those of us who worked to get out the truth," Greenwald said.
Greenwald's "viral" video, called "Fox Attacks: Iran," offers a side-by-side comparison of soundbites and video clips that aired on Fox in the days leading up to the Iraq War with recent Fox News soundbites and clips focusing on Iran.
The filmmaker says Fox -- which commands a much smaller audience than the network news shows do -- intimidated other TV networks into following its pro-war lead. (His video shows CNN reporter Christiane Amanpour saying, "My station was intimidated by the administration and its foot soldiers at Fox News.")
"Please pssst the video and forward it to everyone you know," Greenwald says on his Web site.
"This is a critical moment, and we must send a message to the major television networks urging them to ask tough questions, be skeptical, and tell us what is really happening."
Toward that end, Greenwald has put together an open letter to the networks, reminding them not to "blindly follow Fox down the road to another war."
The letter, which Greenwald's supporters are urged to sign, reminds the networks of their "sacred responsibility to the American people to provide accurate and reliable information."
Greenwald is the director/producer of "Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers" (2006), which he describes as "an expose of what happens when corporations go to war." He also produced a film on Wal-Mart's "assault on families and American values."
And he describes his 2004 film "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism" as an expose of "the right-wing opinion factory known as Fox 'News.'"
Lately, Greenwald has concentrated on a series of short viral videos, including "Fox Attacks: Obama" and "The Real McCain," which he says were seen online by more than 70,000 people within weeks of distribution.

Catastrophe Discourse in Microbiology, Its Rhetorical Form and Political Functionhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0963662507087974 access restricted (by the publisher) to members/subscribers/customers only peer-reviewed
Nerlich, Brigitte and Richard JamesPublic Understanding of Science2009
Abstract:Discourses evoking an antibiotic apocalypse and a war on superbugs are emerging just at a time when so-called "catastrophe discourses" are undergoing critical and reflexive scrutiny in the context of global warming and climate change. This article combines insights from social science research into climate change discourses with applied metaphor research based on recent advances in cognitive linguistics, especially with relation to "discourse metaphors." It traces the emergence of a new apocalyptic discourse in microbiology and health care, examines its rhetorical and political function and discusses its advantages and disadvantages. It contains a reply by the author of the central discourse metaphor, "the post-antibiotic apocalypse," examined in the article.

A new report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that tobacco companies are manipulating their products to avoid taxes and regulations aimed at reducing smoking, undermining the fight against the nation's leading cause of preventable death.
In particular, tobacco companies have mislabeled roll-your-own tobacco as pipe tobacco and increased the weight of many cigars to escape higher tobacco taxes imposed by a 2009 federal law. By keeping the prices of these products low, tobacco companies are attracting kids and keeping smokers hooked.
In a victory for public health, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit today rejected the tobacco industry's attempt to escape any corrective actions despite a judgment that they have violated civil racketeering laws and defrauded the American people for decades.
WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit today delivered a victory for public health by rejecting the tobacco industry's attempt to escape any corrective actions despite a judgment that they have violated civil racketeering laws and defrauded the American people for decades.
Across the United States, youth are playing critical roles in the fight against tobacco. They're encouraging their peers to stay tobacco-free, taking on the tobacco industry and its deceptive marketing and urging elected officials to take strong action to protect America's kids from tobacco.
In a new segment, ABC News Nightline returns to Indonesia, a playground for the tobacco industry where tobacco marketing is inescapable and kids can easily buy cigarettes right outside their schools.
WASHINGTON, DC – By funding a $47 million misinformation campaign, the Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds tobacco companies have again protected their profits at the expense of kids and lives by narrowly defeating a ballot initiative to increase California's cigarette tax by $1 per pack.
Today is World No Tobacco Day, and the tobacco industry is doing exactly what the World Health Organization warns is a typical industry bullying tactic that must be stopped: Tobacco companies are spending more than $45 million to defeat a California ballot initiative that would raise the cigarette tax by $1 to reduce smoking, as well as fund cancer research and tobacco prevention programs.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tobacco giant Altria's launch of a new nicotine lozenge underscores the need for the Food and Drug Administration to quickly extend its regulatory authority to all tobacco products and prevent tobacco companies from continuing to treat American consumers as guinea pigs in their constant quest for higher profits.
I am so honored to have received this award from the Campaign for Tobacco-free Kids, and for the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. to accept it. It's also been very exciting to be able to work with my fellow youth advocates, who have each done amazing things in their communities to prevent tobacco use and help save lives.
Confronted by activists – including youth who traveled to New York City to attend Philip Morris International's annual shareholders meeting this week – Philip Morris CEO Louis Camilleri again played down the deadly consequences of his company's products and claimed the company acts responsibly when the evidence shows otherwise.
At last year's shareholders meeting, Camilleri minimized how addictive cigarettes truly are, stating that "it is not that hard to quit" (he backtracked under a torrent of criticism).
Health advocates and scientists in China have won a major victory by forcing the withdrawal of research by the China National Tobacco Company from consideration for a prestigious national science prize.
The Ministry of Science and Technology announced the withdrawal, which came after the nomination sparked outrage among Chinese and international scientific and public health leaders.
California's newspapers aren't fooled by tobacco industry lies about Proposition 29 – and they're urging voters to beat back the scare tactics and support the measure to increase cigarette taxes, fund tobacco prevention programs and boost cancer research to save lives.
China's health and scientific community is rallying to block the China National Tobacco Corporation from receiving a prestigious national science prize for a research project on cigarettes that are supposedly less harmful.
Pay packages for chief executives at the top three U.S. tobacco companies last year exceeded the amount of money being spent on tobacco prevention programs in all but three states.
A civil magistrate in Pakistan has found the head of marketing for Philip Morris Pakistan Ltd. guilty of violating Pakistan's law that tightly restricts cigarette advertising, criticizing the executive's excuse that he didn't believe placing ads in magazines was the same as putting them in the "press."
The tobacco executive admitted that the company had run the ads, which included full-page, color advertising for Marlboro cigarettes in many of Pakistan's leading magazines throughout November and December. But he claimed he didn't realize these ads were subject to restrictions that limit their size and require pictorial warnings – because he believed the word "press" did not include magazines.
As an appeals court in Washington heard arguments today on the tobacco industry's lawsuit to block graphic cigarette warnings in the United States, an editorial in The New York Times called the suit a "bogus challenge" that is all too typical of tobacco industry tactics.
"The tobacco industry has never been bashful about fighting back against attempts to regulate the promotion of its deadly, addictive products," the Times wrote. "The latest is an effort to derail new regulations requiring large health warnings on cigarette packages by making baseless First Amendment claims."
The first nationwide study of cancer in India shows the clear link between the nation's urgent tobacco problem and cancer rates. The study published in The Lancet is the first to document the burden of tobacco use in India's rural areas, where 70 percent of Indians live.
The global tobacco industry has long put profits before public health. Now China National Tobacco Corporation has taken this cynical formula to a new level: It appears to be the world's 30th largest company by sales, with profits that may rival those of the giant retailer Wal-Mart and the international financial conglomerate HSBC.
Thousands of young people at more than 1,100 events around the country – and even overseas – are taking action against tobacco today, the 17th annual Kick Butts Day.
In all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and on U.S. military bases at home and abroad, youth have planned creative, high-impact activities to promote proven solutions to tobacco use.
Smoking among American youth is a "pediatric epidemic" that isn't occurring by accident: It's directly caused by tobacco industry marketing and promotion that entices teenagers to start smoking and encourages their progression to becoming regular smokers.
WASHINGTON, DC — The U.S. Surgeon General's report released today makes two things perfectly clear: The tobacco industry's marketing is still addicting America's kids, and elected officials – especially in the states — need to do more to protect our children from the scourge of tobacco.

Nine years ago, I moved from the bustling borough of Brooklyn, New York to the quiet community of Cecilton. A stay-at-home mom, with an infant and a husband who traveled for work, I found myself lonely and isolated. Driving country roads, listening to talk radio, I realized, "I don't love talk radio, I just need to hear adult conversation!" Lucky for me, the Cecilton Library was within walking distance from my home.
Cecil County Public Library was a welcome haven of friendly, helpful staff, internet connectivity (broadband hadn't come to the south county yet) and programs where I could meet other moms. There are no community centers or YMCA below the C&D canal, and because my girls were not in school, the library was the only place I could connect. I started attending babytime, singing along with Miss Karen's guitar. Over the next few years, I had another child and the library offered all sorts of resources, from happy sleeping to potty training. At home and in the car, my girls and I sang storytime songs and acted out "two little blackbirds sitting on a hill…" On nights when my husband was out of town, I could watch subtitled foreign film DVDs to my heart's content.
I now work part-time at the Elkton Central Library and am thrilled to be part of such an energetic and resourceful organization. I share my story as a simple example of how important libraries are and that they are a lifeline to resources and a vital connection to the community for so many citizens like me.
In celebration of National Libraries Week, April 8 – 14, I encourage you to share your own library stories and to take advantage of all the resources CCPL offers.
How has the library impacted you?

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Our very spacious and comfortable villa is quite unique in this area of truilli and small houses.
It comprises a very large family kitchen with table for 8 people. The kitchen has washing machine, dishwasher oven, hob iron and ironing board. If you prefer to eat al fresco we also have a dining table poolside. The pool area is surrounded by olive and fruit trees. We have a shady gazebo for those who want to get out of the Puglian sun. This is complete with built in sound system so you can listen to your favourite tunes. Next to the gazebo we have a barbecue and genuine pizza oven, great for fun nights in.
In the lounge we have an open fire and seating for 8 people. We have flat screen TV,DVD's , sky freeview and wifi throughout
There are 2 double bedrooms with en-suites. One of these is accessed via the outside patio. There is another double bedroom with doors leading out to the pool and one bedroom containing 2 singles. There is one very large family bathroom and separate toilet.
We stayed here for a week and had a brilliant time. The villa was very spacious and had great facilities. The selling point for us though was the outdoor area and beautiful pool. This was a major hit with the kids and it was hard to get them away! It was so clean and a perfect way to relax in the beautiful weather. The pizza oven was also great fun.
Ian and Jenny were great and readily available at any time to help or answer any questions we had . I would definitely recommend coming here if you want to stay in an area which isn't very touristy and unspoilt. And I would suggest coming sooner rather than later before it becomes too popular.
Thanks for a lovely holiday Ian and Jenny.
Villa Serranova is superb especially the outdoor relaxation areas. It was great also to have a separate outside dining area undercover. We relaxed over breakfast everyday. Jenny provided lots of information about restaurants before we arrived and everyone of them was great. Carovigno is charming and not at all touristy and the people are so friendly and helpful. For a special occasion Il Cielo restaurant at the Summit hotel in Ostuni was outstanding. Just read the folder that Jenny & Ian have collated and you won't go far wrong. The villa is a great place to relax and unwind and you feel at home straight away. Ian & Jenny are great hosts and they work hard to ensure that you have a great time, nothing was too much trouble for them. We would highly recommend this villa.
Our group of 7 (2 couples, 1 adult, 2 brothers aged 8&16) spent a wonderful 2 weeks in July at this villa. Jenny was very quick and thorough with any inquiries that we had before our arrival, even arranging to have bike rentals delivered to the villa before our arrival. Ian was accessible and helpful during our stay.
The layout of the villa allowed for both private space and group areas.
The outdoor space was spectacular..lots of loungers, a shaded sitting area, large tables, a stereo system, and of course a stunning pool. By far the best feature was the outdoor pizza oven, which our party used almost ever day.
A superb vacation at a wonderful villa...we highly recommend it!
We loved the villa. Spotlessly clean, it is well furnished with a good kitchen and comfortable bedrooms and sitting room. The real star is the outside area with a great pool, plenty of loungers and a shady area (needed this last week as it was very hot!) The air conditioning in the bedrooms was a great bonus. Our party was family of four, (grown up children), and there was plenty of space for us both indoor and out.
Jenny was so helpful before we travelled with lots of useful information about taxis, journey etc and the restaurant and beach tips were very useful too. She also responded straightaway to a couple of queries we had during our stay, so we felt well looked after.
We did not venture too far from the pool during what felt like a very short week, but enjoyed visits to Ostuni and Alberobella market. We ate pizza outside at santa sabina, and had stunning meals down by the sea at the various beaches nearby.
We had a super holiday, and would recommend Puglia and in particular Jenny's villa wholeheartedly.
Great Villa and great hosts. The Villa is really well set-up for two families and we had a lot of fun with the outside pool area and BBQ. Would certainly recommend to others. Best regards Stephen
The pool area at this villa is the absolute jewel in the crown - wonderful shady chill out area with music playing creates a fabulous relaxing vibe, and the pool itself is a great size.
We used the pizza oven three times, which was great fun.
The a/c units in the bedrooms were also a godsend, and so nice to have a fully stocked kitchen with every utensil possible provided.
The dining area at the back of the kitchen was used for every meal and again was comfortable and stylish.
Out and about, we enjoyed the beaches at Torre Canne and Guacedo - not so much the local beach at Specciola. We also took a trip over to Punta Prosciutto on the Ionian Coast - very busy but stunning sea.
Our favourite restaurant in Carovigno was Copula Rossa - so cheap and amazing food and wine.
We weren't that fussed on the zoo safari - was a bit like being on a traffic jam in the M6 with extra animals ! But we did enjoy a trip to Ostuni.
The supermarket at San Vito was perfect - loads of parking and everything you could want food and drink wise - the pizza dough is a must get and is on sale at the deil next to the cheese - it sells out early ! The fizzy rose at €2.20 per bottle was a complete bargain and delicious.
Our favourite thing to do was what our sons called 'a chill out day' - which was to stay at the villa soaking up the sun and relaxing by the pool.
Jenny provided us with loads of hints and tips regarding places to go and restaurants to visit - thanks Jenny and Ian !

Very informative thread. We don't have the option to OC here in NY and never will. Carry on.

Very informative thread. We don't have the option to OC here in NY and never will. Carry on.
I can't speak for the attention seekers and will make no effort to justify their actions but I really don't think my OCing is a threat to anyone's gun rights. I started carrying about a year ago and have decided after trying a variety of guns and holsters that my XDM compact in a Blackhawk Serpa is the most suitable for me. Pocket pistols don't fit my hand well. IWB is fine for church or select situations where it doesn't feel appropriate to advertise but it gets uncomfortable in a hurry. As the weather has gotten warmer and the coat has come off I haven't made any attempt to hide my weapon. I go to the same places and interact with the same people. The same video store, restaurants and grocery store. It's not about getting attention. It's not a political statement. I'm not on any YouTube videos that I know of. I just go about my business and most people don't notice or care that I have a pistol on my side. I've had a few dirty looks but not enough to persuade the law makers. Those who even notice see an armed guy with his armed wife and little girl peacefully going about our day and putting money back in the economy.
Also, a select few people that OC "play cowboy" just like a select few people that CC do the same by intervening in situations they have no business getting involved in. Most do it because they feel it is the best way in which to defend themselves and their loved ones.
Openly carrying a firearm usually has nothing to do with exhibitionism, and everything to do with self-defense. Sure, you can find a few yahoos who open carry and post videos on youtube, but they do not represent the vast majority of OCers. Do the CCers that accidentally shoot themselves or others represent all of the CCers??? I suggest that you do a little bit of research into open carry before you make a judgment call against it. If you don't want to do it, that's fine, but don't spout nonsense about why it is bad.
Ideal conversation:
911 Operator: "911"
Panicked Citizen: "I see a man with a gun!!!"
911 Operator: "What is he doing with it?"
Panicked Citizen: "Well...nothing. He's just carrying it around in his holster."
911 Operator: "This line is for emergencies. Call us back when you have one."
I may be off base here, but I'm seeing a division forming in the ranks. I would be happier thinking that the open carry people would support the concealed carry people and visa-versa. That is how the antis will defeat us all...divide and conquer
Agree. I hereby pledge to only criticize the critics. :danceban:
Amen brother
No one would be forcing you to OC, just like you shouldn't be forcing others to CC.
I've headed north and OC'ed simply because it was very hot and I wanted to see what it was like...nothing, nada, zip, zero, nothing...not one person even glanced at my side arm.
The wife and our grandkids were in all kinds of stores, got gas going north, and even ate in several fast food places...never a concern. (in GA, TN, and KY)
It's whatever the sheep get used to...:yup:

- Jay
Feb 26, 2011 - So I've had my hair cut at the Devachan Salon in NYC. Amazing what they did with my curls. I've been using their products ever since. I have not found anyone who could do with my hair what they did…until now! I was very excited about finding Curltopia online, made my appointment, and told my husband I was going to come home a whole new woman. The salon was chic and clean. My appt was with Jay, who is Deva-trained. She was very knowledgeable about the Deva method and products. She asked me how I wear my hair and what I wanted. She introduced me to their newest curl products - Moroccan Oil. I purchased them. Loved my cut. My curls were super defined and bouncy. I'll be back for future cuts with Jay. I even made an appt for hilites with Jay for next week. Thanks Curltopia for letting us curly girls be ourselves!

Kids Helping Kids
GAINESVILLE - It's devastating news that can break any family apart. Finding out your young one has cancer or any other life-threatening disease can take a toll on you. But in this case it's bringing people together. "Purple Doves, Kids Helping Kids," is an organization that offers volunteering opportunities for kids to help ill kids.
Three year old Ayden Henke has always wanted to be a pirate. However there's once obstacle slowing him down, and that's a brain tumor the size of a softball. Tiffany Henke, Ayden's mom never saw it coming. "So you never know the person next door to you can be the person that you never would know. and without everyone coming out and helping nobody would ever have a clue." She's glad "Purple Doves, Kids Helping Kids," is making people aware of what's out there.
Gerri Gerthe who is behind "Purple Doves, Kids Helping Kids," says, "It's giving kids an opportunity to do community service work and they do it by helping kids with critical needs." Gerthe says, "What started off as a relay for life project for Gerthe and her kids has ventured off to something much bigger, for example this fundraiser has a yard sale, face painting for kids and a bounce house among other things."
The Henke's aren't alone. Brian Williamson was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2011. His dad says, "You know our main concern is taking care of Brian. It's hard but life goes on and we have a family to take care of."
Kaedyn is another child who was in remission for 5 months until recently when he had a relapse his father Nakia Ballew tells us. "I think it's real important for the community to come together and help each other out. I mean, this is the first time that I had ever seen the community come together and actually everybody pull together and support something besides what their everyday normal lives are," Ballew says.
The organization's goal is for every county to have a team to help their local kids. Gerthe says, "So we have the potential to branch county to county and then teach each county to do the same thing and take care of local families."
If you would like to get on board and battle for Brian or help Kylie's cause who are a couple of these kids, don't hesitate in checking out their website: http://florida-kids-helping-kids.com/.

Bilge pump choices
I also have a rule 1500 gph pump with separate float switch and dedicated through hull. This is located in the main bilge but not the deepest part.
I have installed a "smart" Rule 500 gph pump in the deepest part of the bilge. It has a built in float switch and will turn on when the water level rises slightly. Where the hose is attached, I put about 1" of 3/4" tubing to bridge the output lip on the pump and a 3/4" to 1/2" L-shaped connector. After making this connection, you have a 1/2" fixture to which you can vertically connect 1/2" tubing. I then run the 1/2" tubing to a separate (existing) sump drain fixture elsewhere. I dont actually mount the pump, but lower it down as far as possible into the deep bilge using the vertical 1/2" tubing. It has worked very well.
You don''t want to T into the existing bilge line. If you are underway and the pumps are running - you will only be pumping out water at the same rate as the single pump at the electrical expense of two pumps. You also don''t want to add another through hull if you don''t have to. Is it possible to lead the new pump output somewhere else?
Good luck.
Bilge pump choices
You don''t want to T into the existing pump line of a centrifugal pump. You would be then pumping water right back into the bilge through the unused pump.
A friend of mine has a small 360 GPH pump mounted in the very deepest part if his bilge, on a line reduced to about 3/8-inch copper tubing. This pump is powered through the same float switch as the larger pump. Here''s his secret, he''s run the tubing to discharging just a couple of inches above and into a cockpit drain. Now, as he''s sailing along, he has a visual and audible "high bilge water alarm" of sorts. Running the main pump dry for the short amount of time it takes for the smaller pump to clear the bilge is not a problem for a centrifugal pump.
I think his idea is a great one, but I cant use it on my boat. I keep that last space between the floor timbers filled with seawater as I have a swell-fit bung there. Now, my boat dont leak like some wooden boats do and Im afraid that if that bung ever dried out and shrunk, I could be in a world of trouble!
Bilge pump choices
The diaphram pumps are good if you have excess pump height. From the bottom of my blige to the top of the loop is 8''. The submersible pumps are not rated to pump to that height.
Bilge pump choices
A diaphram pump will suck your bilge truely dry. It will not loose prime when the water level drops. I have one and love it. The only draw back is the capacity. For your application with a large sbmersible, a diaphram to get that last gallon makes sense.
Bilge pump choices
I''m getting ready to add a second electric bilgepump to my Kelly Peterson 46. The boat currently has a deep sump w/ a 1500 gph Rule pump in it, leading to a dedicated thru hull w/ seacock. Switch is about 6" above the pump. I''d like to add a small automatic pump next to the big one, to handle day to day drips. What is the best way to handle the outflow? OK to simply put a tee in the existing pump line?
Another bilge pump question? Is there an advantage to the belt driven diaphragm pumps as opposed to the more common centrifugal submerged pumps? They''re much more expensive, but I can''t see a benefit. Thanks for any help.

It's been nearly two summers since the government's "cash for clunkers" program, but one motor oil maker is sounding as if it has a similar idea. Quaker State is offering up to $3,000 for cars -- if they hit 300,000 miles.
The Quaker State Warranty is a gimmick to get motorists to use lots and lots of fresh motor oil on their way to having a gazillion miles on their jalopies. Details here.
The deal works roughly like this: Register a car with fewer than 75,000 miles on the clicker, follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule, keep the car in good condition and keep driving until your magic day arrives.
Quaker State "rewards warranty members with the Kelley Blue Book trade-in value for their vehicle as listed in 'good' condition, a value of up to $3,000," as the pitch goes.

In-car cameras make Ill. cops 'uncomfortable'
Fear they might get in trouble: 'It will take a while to be accepted'
Chicago Sun-Times
CHICAGO — In the 1960s, Chicago cops initially griped about having to wear radios on their belts.
In the last decade, some fretted about having to communicate for the first time through laptop computers in their cars.

Drilling to place curtain pole
Help! I've been trying to put curtain poles up, but upon drilling have hit what I presume to be a metal lintel. Has anyone got an suggestions of how I can continue to hang the curtain pole?
Thanks, Karen
Hey Karen
This is very possible. I think I would first see if maybe if is only a nail or crew head. This would only require you to offset your brackets slightly. If is indeed a lintel I would not expect it to be very close to the surface a short anchor could be used. Another possibility is to use a metal drill bit and tap the hole (I think this would be a unusual last resort). About how old is the home?
My home is about 200 years old, but the curtain pole problem is in a brand new extension. We have tried to put up 6 poles, all with the same issue, so it cant all be screwheads!
From your response, it looks like we'll have to drill into the metal, although the drill I have is obviously not doing the trick.
What is a 'short anchor' that you mentioned?
Hi Karen
Your right it is not screw heads or you better buy a lotto ticket. First of how deep is you drill going before the drill stops? do you know what the wall surface is (ie plaster, wallboard/drywall) if it has enough thickness I have seen dry wall anchors that were 1/2 long. This type I saw was a plastic style that expanded when a screw was threaded into it. fastening its self to the surrounding wallboard. If you don't have at least this much depth I haven't seen any type of anchor shorter. Drill bits to drill into steel can be bought at your local hardware store I am sure the can offer some advice (price verses quality) If you have many holes to drill you may want a cobalt or titanium bit.. If you do end up drilling into the metal you will want to use a variable speed drill and keep the bit speed down or you will burn it and be useless.
good luck
maybe you could just put them up with magnets, ha ha
sorry, I couldn't resist I don't think magnets would work
The drill goes in about half an inch, the wall surface being plaster over dryboard, so the expanding screws sound like just the job. I've not heard of them before, but my work collegue has just told me she has used them effectively herself.
Thanks for the tip regarding the speed of the drill into metal, just incase I have to resort to this solution (fingers crossed that I dont!).
Hopefully you will be able to find them this short. As I said I have seen them but they are not common. The anchors do not work if they are not flush with the surface before screwing into them. (I have been able to cheat a bit in the past by cutting of some off the tip in the anchor. I would say try it first in the lest obvious location you are attempting in case you end up making a bit of a mess. write back if you have problems with it.

More African American women in Delaware choosing natural hair over chemicals [video]
Our hair says a lot about us. It can be a fashion statement. It can be a political statement. For African-American men and women there has been a conflict about hair. That could be changing.
According to a study in 2011, there was a 36 percent increase among African American women who decided to do away with hair chemicals. That means a hair style that might not conform to a certain image.
But is this a trend or is natural hair here to stay?
"Hair going back to the origins of slavery times, hair has always been a marker of difference, has been a marker of racial difference," said University of Delaware Professor Tiffany Gill.
Black hair politics
Traditionally what black women have done to their hair has always been read in a political way, since women wore their hair in afros and braids during the Black Power movement but one Delaware group says there is a growing trend for women who want versatility and better overall hair care.
"You see it not just in the workplace but in magazines, on TV's and in commercials, so I can find more people wearing their hair more natural than anything else so I think that I have seen a trend for that," said Tywanda Howie.
Tywanda Howie decided to ditch hair chemicals in 2009 and started to blog about her natural experience, later forming the group Delaware Naturalistas, before she knew it, a network of women was following her. Professor Gill says while more women are going natural, companies are taking notice and even capitalizing on the natural movement by coming up with hair care products aimed at black women. However, she says that doesn't necessarily mean that it's an accepted trend.
"We can think of that as sort of a victory in some ways but also not to overshadow that there's still discrimination against women in certain industries based on how they wear their hair," said Gill.
Professor Gill has written a book "Beauty Shop Politics: African-American Women's activism in the Beauty Industry".
"African American women sort of asserting their hair in its natural state is just a way to reclaim that their natural state of blackness is beautiful," said Gill.
Reality versus practical
Despite that mindset, Victor Nichols felt forced to cut his hair in the past just to get a job. Now Nichols current employer welcomes his natural hair the way it is. As a result Nichols shares a popular question he often gets from his co-workers.
"Do you think they're going to ask you to cut it and I say there's no reason why they should...why? Cause I want to wear my hair like that too but I don't want to lose my job because of it," said Delaware resident Victor Nichols.
This is all too familiar to local hairstylists who had clients in the past who feared their employer so much they would try to hide their natural hair.
"I've had people who have had locks and I would braid them and they would put on wigs to go to work or put on wigs for an interview because you have to go along with what society wants," said Nicole Scarborough of Get Twysted Salon
On the flip side more hairstylists are now seeing women who hesitated to express themselves naturally finally come out with confidence.
"Somebody who kind of went with the crowd and stuck with the straight hair may not have accept it the beauty of it before but it's coming around people are feeling more comforting with accepting it," said Chanel Williams of Loves Hair Lounge.
No matter what spectrum natural hair among black women falls on, many believe it's here to stay.
"A lot of women are trying to instill that positive self image into their children where little girls are enjoying wearing their hair curly and out, and wild and crazy, and not have a care about it. So I think it's here to stay because we're starting to pass it on, pass on that self love and respect for yourself and hair that God gave you to our children," said Akira Grenardo of Delaware Naturalistas.
The response from African American women in Delaware going natural has been so positive, the Delaware Naturalistas will host their second hair expo this year at the University of Delaware campus on September 28th.

Foam and Elastomeric coats over existing BUR ????
We have a 10 year old built up roof put on our flat roof after a complete teardown here in Phoenix, AZ. Our roof has no leaks but had some hail damage so the insurance company is paying for a new roof. We are wanting to go with SPF (Foam) roof here in the desert climate. Got 4 bids from A+ roofers. 2 said best to tear off existing built up roof and apply the foam and then 2 or 3 coats of Elastomeric. The other 2 said its ok to apply the foam over the existing roof without doing a teardown. Very confusing and we need to make a decision in the next few days. 1) Are we better off to do a complete tearoff of the existing BUR roof system and then Foam with 2 or 3 coats of Elastomeric coating ? OR 2) Are we better to keep the existing BUR system and foam over it then use 2 or 3 coats of Elastomeric? The existing roof has no leaks, basically dried and they say it probably has a year or 2 left but we want to go ahead and go with Foam and 2 or 3 coats of Elastomeric EITHER over the existing BUR OR go with Foam and 2 or 3 coats of Elastomeric after a complete tearoff of the the existing BUR. HELP! Any advice and direction would be very much appreciated!
Can write me direct or post here. Thanks so much. firstname.lastname@example.com
my old BUR roof had a foam roof laid over it without tearing it off.
I noticed that the foam layer did not adhere very well to the old BUR roof perhaps because it wasnt clean or the stone ballast - this seemed especially noticeable along the edges where the weather might more easily penetrate.
If it were me I wouldnt put a foam roof on. I would tear the old roof off, new PolyISO insulation and a white TPO or PVC. The polyiso insulation has the same R value as a foam roof, and the TPO and PVC are reflective. Spray foam over a bur is bad in a couple of ways, if you ever have to tear it off then it gets expensive, and you have a thin coating to be the protection for it. Birds love to pick at it and tear up your new roof. Did they say how often you have to recoat it? Most are 2-5 years, so you have to figure that in too. You do not have to coat the TPO or PVC roofs. The foam doesnt stick to a bur roof if they do not prep it right. Hope this helps. Is this the only type roof your insurance will pay for?

"Illegal Immigrant" Now Head of the Brain Tumor Program at Johns Hopkins
December 5, 2011 at 3:19 PM Leave a comment
Wow, not exactly the picture most people think of when it comes to "illegals:"
Immigration continues to spark intense and emotional political debates between people who favor expansive immigration policies and those who want more restrictions.
But what is often left out of the conversation is the experience of being in the middle space – between being legal and illegal. All this week Tell Me More will focus on those in that position (or who is related to someone who is) in a series titled "In Limbo."
"In Limbo" begins with the story of Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa. His life is like a classic rags-to-riches tale scripted for a Hollywood film. He grew up in the small village of Palaco, Mexico. As a bright young man, he wanted to become a teacher. But he had to overcome many obstacles first, including hunger.
"I am not talking about hungry for success; I was literally hungry for food. My stomach was empty," he says.
Quiñones- Hinojosa was determined to put food on the table for his family, so he did the only thing he could possibly think of: literally jumped over a fence between his native Mexico and the United States and became a farm worker in southern California.
He started by picking tomatoes, corn and broccoli. Later, he operated dangerous machinery in the fields. But things changed for him after a conversation with his cousin.
Fast forward:
His journey then took him to University of California, Berkeley, and later Harvard Medical School. After 10 years, since first jumping over that fence into America, he became a U.S. citizen.
Now, Dr. Alfredo Quiñones- Hinojosa is a respected brain surgeon who directs the Brain Tumor Program at John Hopkins Bayview Hospital. He says more needs to be done to help those who can follow in his footsteps.

Poor Sherman Hemsley.
The beloved Jeffersons star received a sweet sendoff during Sunday's Emmys, but it seems that off camera, his death is not being treated with quite the same dignity.
A Texas judge has ordered that a man who claims to be Hemsley's brother, Richard Thornton, undergo DNA testing by Oct. 15, The Associated Press reports. Thornton, who lives in the late actor's hometown of Philadelphia, is contesting Hemsley's will, which names his "beloved partner," friend and manager of more than 20 years, Flora Enchinton, as the sole recipient of his estate. At stake? About $50,000. The trial is set to start Oct. 31.
Meanwhile, Hemsley's body remains refrigerated in an El Paso funeral home (Hemsley lived in the border town for the past two decades). A small memorial service was held Sept. 22 in Philadelphia.
Hemsley died July 24 at age 74 of lung cancer. A month later, when Thornton's challenge emerged, Enchinton told the AP: "Some people come out of the woodwork -- they think Sherman, they think money."

Polar bear seen in trouble, not endangered
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The polar bear, a symbol of Canada's far north as well as the effects of climate change on the sensitive Arctic environment, is in trouble, but it is not endangered or threatened with extinction, a Canadian advisory panel said on Friday.
The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada gave the polar bear its weakest classification, that of "special concern," but the Canadian government would nonetheless have to develop a management plan to protect the animals if it agrees with the new label.
"Based on the best available information at hand, there was insufficient reason to think that the polar bear was at imminent risk of extinction," Jeffrey Hutchings, chairman of the independent committee said after the panel met in the Northwest Territories.
"That's not to say that it's not in trouble. A special-concern species is a species at risk in Canada and requires legislative action should the government decide to include this species on the legal list."
Canada has an estimated 15,500 polar bears, or roughly two-thirds of the global population. Disappearing summer sea ice is causing a decline in numbers in some areas but other regions are stable and in some the population is rising.
Hutchings said that in addition to global warming, overhunting and oil and gas activity were also pressuring the population of the world's largest land carnivore.
Environment Minister John Baird, who has three months to decide on a response to the committee's report, said the polar bear was "an iconic symbol of Canada" and that Ottawa should not wait until the animal got a "threatened" designation.
"Let's take action now and that's exactly what we're going to do," he told reporters, standing in front of a stuffed polar bear at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa. Continued...

The Audience Award winner at this year's Sundance Film Festival, writer-director Maryam Keshavarz's debut feature boldly takes filmgoers inside a modern Iran rarely witnessed by outsiders: an exhilirating, invisible realm of illicit nightclubs where young hipsters risk arrest, and their futures, as the experiment with sex, drugs and defiance, all while trying to evade the authorities.

text: She was more fearful than shy...and it played itself out in her being aggressive. Medication is always a last resort. It took about 8-9 months but essentially, we started by getting within a comfortable distance (determined by her) of someone walking by and she'd get a reward, food, pet, etc so long as she stayed calm. next step was to allow her to approach people...I was amazed at how few people know the correct way to approach a dog, even when you tell them, "uh, that's not good could you please just stand still, with your side to the dog and don't bend down toward her" So once that step was complete, next step was to have people we met along our walks give her treats... That's the foundation...rewire the stranger reactive dog from "Strangers = danger to strangers = treats" Finally, I began asking people to give her cues.."sit" "down" etc. Now the entire neighborhood loves her and she's everyone's favorite at the supply store. Most any dog can be counter conditioned and it's a GREAT feeling of satisfaction when ya do it. So that was my long way of saying that I would give the dog any sedating liquids, etc. Thunderstorms, different story because so far, no one has been successful at counter conditioning a dog who has thunder phobia. Note: this is why, when people get a puppy they should introduce the dog to dozens upon dozens of people (particularly men and kids) from the age of 8-14 weeks. It'll set the dog up for great social skills. When this doesn't happen, you're always working against how the dog wasn't socialized properly.

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers today announced that one of the largest mail order jewelry businesses in the United States can no longer market its direct-mail sweepstakes to Oregonians and must provide full refunds for jewelry to requesting consumers.
Named in an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance (AVC), filed today in Marion County Circuit Court, are Seta Corporation of Boca, Inc., a Delaware corporation whose principal offices are in Boca Raton, Florida and Catalog Network Services (CNS), owned by the same parties as Seta with offices in Cincinnati, Ohio. The AVC does not admit violation of law.
"We sued this company last year after investigating allegations from Oregon consumers including elderly citizens and their families of fraudulent sweepstakes solicitations," Myers said. "The company ignored warnings from the Department of Justice and another state Attorney General forcing us to take legal action. Today's settlement agreement stops the deceptive practice and assists those that suffered financially."
Department of Justice investigators found that Seta's combination sweepstakes entry and jewelry/cosmetics order form confused consumers and many concluded that they had to buy merchandise to enter the sweepstakes. Others were convinced that they had won or were about to win the sweepstakes and spent thousands of dollars a year buying product when they entered the sweepstakes. Some of the customers received four or more mailings per day from Seta.
Investigators found that the promotions told consumers they had won $25,000 but that they first must sign a publicity release and complete an entry/order form that included an order form to purchase jewelry. Disclaimers of "no purchase necessary" and "odds may vary" were found in small type on the forms. There were no separate rules for entry without purchase.
Attorney General Myers' Financial Fraud/Consumer Protection section received 35 written complaints against Seta. In addition, the Justice investigation produced a list of more than 300 Oregonians who had done business with the mail order company.
In the settlement, Seta agrees to refund the full purchase price of jewelry to Oregonians who return the product with a written request. The company must provide quarterly reports to Justice that include the names and addresses and refund amounts paid to each consumer. Seta paid $200,000 to the Department of Justice consumer protection and education fund.
The Oregon Department of Justice, over the last three years, has filed court actions against other sweepstakes companies including American Express Publishing Company, U.S. Purchasing Exchange, Reader's Digest, Time, Inc. using the name of Guaranteed and Bonded, and American Family Publishers. Attorney General Myers sued Publishers Clearing House in January 2000 and a trial date is set for September 2001.

- I've heard that Hormel successfully sued The Jim Henson Company over the name of this character. Can anyone verify? -- Scarecroe 01:33, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- They sued, but they lost. I remember reading about it in MuppetZine. Their objection was not just to the name, but the fact that the character was a big ugly bad guy. I found a site about the case that looks like it has some pretty accurate information. I can add the link. PrawnRR 01:52, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Oh cool, nice work. If they won, I would have asked why they didn't go after Spamela Hamderson, too. It's all very obvious now. -- Scarecroe 01:56, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, there's an article about it in MuppetZine #15. -- Toughpigs 02:10, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- By the way, I think "Spamela Hamderson" was specifically intended to be a "screw you" to Hormel. They created Spamela just after the Spa'am case was settled. -- Toughpigs 02:18, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- How ironic, then, that Spamela has now been reduced to a footnote in Muppet history, while Hormel's luncheon meat is more popular than ever. TV's KB 15:44, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)

The Canisius College women's basketball team featured zero seniors during the 2011-12 season, a combination that has both positives and negatives. That roster makeup can provide an encouraging future, but one downside can be a lack of urgency in the present.
With this year's team featuring three seniors and four juniors, there will be no lack of experience or urgency as the Golden Griffins return all five starters and 98 percent of their scoring from last year's team that saw its season end in the first round of the MAAC Championship.
"The first thing when you have veterans or seniors, is you have a sense of urgency, since they only have one more chance to play college basketball," ninth-year head coach Terry Zeh said. "They learned from last year that we didn't finish as well as we wanted to. The injuries were a part of it, but we talk about the controllable things that we didn't control down the stretch.
"There is a lot of excitement about a team that returned so many players from last season. That enthusiasm has been a ripple effect for us as coaches with everything we have been doing."
The Golden Griffins have a lot of backourt options - two seniors, one junior, two sophomores and two freshmen - to fill the three guards in the normal lineup. Senior Allison Braun missed the final 12 games of the regular season due to a lower-leg injury, but the second-year captain has returned to her spot in the starting lineup. Fellow senior Ashley Durham has moved from the point guard spot to an off-guard position, looking to provide the Griffs with more of a spark offensively.
Junior Jen Morabito ranked 19th nationally in 3-point field goal percentage last season and has made 111 3-pointers in her first two seasons. Sophomore Kayla Hoohuli earned MAAC All-Rookie Team honors as a freshman, playing the entire season less than a year removed from a major knee injury suffered at the end of her high school career. Sophomore Brooke Angelos started the last three games of the 2011-12 season, averaged 6.0 assists per 40 minutes and had 21 assists in the final four games of the year.
Three freshmen are also in the backcourt, with redshirt freshman Ashley Gomez and true freshmen Tiahana Mills and Emily Weber. Gomez suffered a season-ending knee injury early in preseason camp last year and had minor knee surgery in August as a follow-up procedure. Mills, who played at the same high school as Morabito in Binghamton, has been battling for a starting position at the point guard spot throughout the preseason camp. Weber challenges Hoohuli and Morabito for the most shooting range on the team, giving the Griffs three players who can shoot it from long range.
Aliison Braun
"Allison's energy and enthusiasm is something we lacked during her injury last season, especially when she couldn't practice. She brings that sense of urgency in everything that she does every day, and it is so important to have her back in the fold. On the basketball court, she uses that same energy to do a lot that is really important - rebound, defend and the little things that don't show up in the stat sheet."
Ashley Durham.
"Ashley's ability to get by defenders offensively and make plays off the bounce is something we need, especially when teams are pressuring us. Her experience from the last three years will be beneficial in some crucial situations."
Jen Morabito
"Jen Morabito is one of the ultimate defensive stretchers with her ability to shoot it quickly and from deep. It opens up the space on the floor for the other players to operate. Jen has a great grind about her where she wants to be successful, and she works really hard. That is good for other players to watch."
Brooke Angelos
"I thought Brooke did a good job for us down the stretch last season. Her court vision and her ability to get her teammates easy baskets are important for our success. Hopefully she will learn from that rookie year and use it to her advantage when we need her this season."
Kayla Hoohuli
"Kayla making the All-Rookie Team was a good feat coming off her knee injury from the end of her high school season. She has worked hard in the offseason at things she wanted to improve, and I think you will see a completely different player from last year."
Ashley Gomez
"Ashley had the disappointing injury last year and had a follow-up knee surgery in August. She has worked very hard physically and mentally to get back. We are starting to see the fruits of that labor in practice. She is starting to become the Ashley that we recruited, and she is a jack of all trades in doing a little bit of everything."
Tiahana Mills
"Tiahana is an extremely athletic point guard who has a pass-first mentality. She also can really defend on the basketball. I am excited to watch her progress as she learns the college game."
Emily Weber
"Emily is an incredible long-distance shooter. With great touch and athleticism to score at the basket. I think she can be a really good player in our conference as she learns college intensity and defensive systems."
The Canisius frontcourt features a combination of experience and some talented newcomers. Senior Ashley Wilkes is in her second season with the Golden Griffins, and looks more comfortable with the Division I game. Junior Jamie Ruttle earned preseason All-MAAC First-Team honors after being named to the All-MAAC Third Team following her sophomore season and the MAAC Rookie of the Year in 2011. Junior Jen Lennox provides another 6-foot-3 body for the Griffs and has 59 games of experience, along with 47 career blocks. The frontcourt depth took a bit of a hit when junior Courtney VandeBovenkamp suffered a season-ending knee injury at the end of October.
Two newcomers in the frontcourt are freshmen Jasmine Mungo and Crystal Porter. Mungo comes to Canisius from a very successful high school team at Riverdale Baptist, which finished No. 3 in the country last season. Porter comes to Buffalo from Houston, Texas where she averaged a double-double during her senior season.
Ashley Wilkes
"Ashley's adjustment went really well from junior college to playing Division I basketball. This year, she is on a whole different level. She understands what we want offensively, defensively and we are getting Ashley out of her comfort zone to become a great basketball player. Her ability to rebound the basketball is something you can't teach."
Jamie Ruttle
"Jamie is one of the most talented players in the conference. As she grows and matures, Jamie gets better and better and is adding to her game. I think it is exciting because she can score from so many ways, whether it's on the perimeter or in the post. That makes her difficult to guard."
Jen Lennox
"Jen Lennox's ability to block shots can change the other team's offensive flow. To be able to for us to play with two tall post players can create tough matchups for the opposition."
Courtney VandeBovenkamp
"We are disappointed that Courtney will miss this season with her knee injury. We were looking for some really good things with her. The only good thing is we get to spend another year with Courtney because she is such a nice person and great player."
Jasmine Mungo
"Jasmine is a tough, physical interior defender with a tremendous motor. This makes her a great offensive rebounder and a good post defender."
Crystal Porter
"Crystal is a tough matchup with her athleticism and skills. She has a great feel for the game and is a really good passer."
Canisius opens at home for the third straight year, hosting Buffalo on Friday
night in the KAC. The Golden Griffins have five home games in non-conference
play, including two doubleheaders (Nov. 17 and Nov. 20) with the men's
basketball program. The Griffs will make their first trip to California since
the 2004-05 season when they play in the Beach Classic at Long Beach University
on Dec. 20-21.
Canisius opens MAAC play at home on Jan. 4, on Kid's Day against Siena. The Griffs will play two games on ESPN3 - hosting Niagara in the first game of a doubleheader in the KAC on Jan. 27 and facing Fairfield on Feb. 14, in Webster Bank Arena. The 2013 MAAC Championship returns to the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass. on March 7-11.

It's hard to believe next week Brunswick County residents will be headed out to local stores to try to find the best and hottest deals of the holiday season.
How is it already November? Can you believe the end of the year is almost here?
Here at The Brunswick Beacon, we're already looking forward to what we're going to do in 2011.
From planning special sections and projects to setting individual and team goals, we'll be spending the next few months determining what we do well and what we can do better.
The day before Thanksgiving, this year, falls on Wednesday, Nov. 24.
Experts claim it's the most traveled day in the entire 365. If you're among those who choose to take a plane ride next week, be prepared for a little longer wait time than you're used to.
They say for domestic flights, arrive at the airport an hour and a half early. But in case you haven't heard, there's a "national protest day" taking place that might extend those security lines a little longer than usual.
In that great ledger of the deerly departed comes a recent report about the odds of a driver hitting one in a state-by-state account.
So far, it ain't lookin' good for Dasher, Dancer and the gang this season in North Carolina.
According to a press release issued last month by State Farm Insurance, the likelihood of a vehicle colliding with a deer (and vice versa) within the next 12 months in this state is 1 in 147.
This compares to 1 in 13,011 in Hawaii, the lowest ranked state, and 1 in 42 in top-ranked West Virginia.
It has been brought to our attention that in recent months some individuals may be misrepresenting themselves as Brunswick Beacon employees in our community.
We have had calls indicating individuals have appeared at community events and local businesses saying they are from The Brunswick Beacon, but we do not believe they are.
Concerned citizens have indicated there may have been people shooting photos at community sporting events improperly saying they are Brunswick Beacon employees.
San Francisco could have represented both London and Paris in Charles Dickens' classic, "A Tale of Two Cities" last week.
It was the best of times as the San Francisco Giants clinched the World Series title after defeating the Texas Rangers four games to one.
As a journalist, I take my right to vote seriously.
It would be hypocritical to be involved with issues of newsprint dedicated to telling candidates' stories, challenging contenders, sponsoring forums and encouraging people to vote and then not go out and vote myself.
So I do my part to show up at the polls each Election Day. I thought about doing early voting this year, but I think there's something more exciting about going to the polls on Election Day.
Everywhere I turned last week, good news seemed to follow.
I love visiting schools, and I love good news, so last week was a win-win. Covering the education beat definitely keeps me busy, but I always tell teachers to let me know of any events going on at the school. If my schedule will allow time, I'll be there. From class projects to student accomplishments, I cover them all.
Last week was no different. In less than two days, I spent time at three different schools in the county and was equally impressed with what was going on inside.
The one-year anniversary meeting of the Concerned Citizens of Carolina Shores two weeks ago kicked off just like a party.
It was an anniversary celebration, after all, with members of the political action committee feeling and looking festive.
Everyone who moseyed through the door of the big meeting room at the Calabash fire station was greeted with big smiles and cheery how-dos—even the one-person media in attendance, also known as me.
For the last several years I've suffered from chronic back pain coupled with an inability to sleep regularly at night.
It doesn't help I spend far more of my time at a desk working than I do exercising. It's a problem that keeps compounding itself.
When it comes to elections, I tend to be a bit of a hypocrite. I complain about how much extra work it is, how I can't wait until Nov. 3, when the elections are behind us.
But, at the same time, I live for this. Yes, I'm tired, I'm cranky, and most of all, I'm sick of dealing with candidates, but I love it.
In fact, as much as I say I can't wait for elections to be over, I hate it more when they finally do come to an end.
I'm actually a little sad when they end, believe it or not.

The Mets signed 26 y/o RHP Kevin Mulvey to a minor league deal, this deal seemed to make headlines because Mulvey was part of the Johan Santana deal.
The Parlin, NJ native was a second round pick in 2006 by the Mets and in 2007 went 11-10 with a 3.32 ERA in Binghamton.
Mulvey was the player to be named later when Jon Rauch went to the Twins sending him to the D-backs.
He made 10 major league appearances between the Twins and Arizona with a 7.90 ERA in 27 innings.

It's that time of the year again, June 4. Twenty-four year ago, many of the college students in China who marched the Tiananmen Square to protest against government corruption were killed. Twenty-four years later, the incident is still a taboo topic in China.
After China's social media boom, days around June 4 have become the country's annual Internet "maintenance" period. This year, on June 3, Sina Weibo, China's most dynamic microblog service, rolled out what has been its finest censorship move so far – to temporarily remove the candle icon, which looks like what's in the red circle below, from its frequently-used icon list.
The candle icon is often used for mourning or when netizens feel like sending their blessings or prayers to those who are suffering. Netizens usually just "light" a candle or two when they comment to or share news stories of accidents, natural disasters or cases with human casualties.
The removal may have gone unnoticed if the fire at a poultry plant in the province of Jilin didn't claim 119 lives (at least) on June 3. Usually when such a story breaks, one'd expect to see screens after screens of candles lit by netizens to mourn for the dead. Now all that is left is the word "candle" in Chinese. One netizen 卫庄 commented: "I want to light a candle for my fellow countrymen. But very unfortunately, the candle icon has disappeared from Weibo."
"Explosions after gas leak at Jilin's poultry plant have already killed 113 so far. [Candle][Candle][Candle]."
It's unclear yet whether the order was from Sina's self-censors or from someone above. The official explanation given by Sina is that they were "re-organizing" the icons. But image the frustration and anger Chinese netizens experienced when they found out that even the action of lighting a virtual candle is subject to censorship. Yes, it's June 3 and over-censorship is expected. But something subtle and yet "in your face" like this still makes people unhappy.
One netizen on Twitter commented: "You can blow out a candle, but cannot crush out a fire. You can delete a Weibo post, but cannot erase history. You can force the young to forget today, but every year, there is a June 4…."
What's even worse, after netizens found out about the removal of the candle icon and complained it, the word "candle" now is a blocked search word. When you enter the word "candle" in the search box in Weibo now, the following message shows up: "According to relevant laws and regulations, results for "candle" aren't shown."
An several thousand-year-old Chinese saying goes: "The magistrates are free to set fire, while the ordinary people are forbidden to even light lamps." Sadly, the saying still holds true in year 2013.
[...] (known a the Great Fire Wall) by using special unblockable mobile apps and mirror sites. Last year, Sina Weibo removed the candle emoticon for a few days as that symbol is often used to honour the [...]
[...] has become known obliquely as "Internet maintenance day." Even the candle emoticon has suddenly disappeared from Weibo (again). For examples of specific Weibo posts that were deleted today, see here and here [...]
[...] • Victoria Park (维园) • evening event (晚会) • candle (蜡烛): Like last June, Sina Weibo has removed the candle emoticon. • black shirt (黑衫) • redress (平反) • commemorate [...]
