Disney's announcement that it will permit same-sex couples to participate in its "Fairy Tale" wedding service surprised some Disney-philes. But not Jeffrey Epstein and Eddie Shapiro. As authors of the irreverent and informative Queens in the Kingdom: The Ultimate Gay & Lesbian Guide to the Disney Theme Parks (Avalon Travel Publishing, $17.95, out in May), the duo had lauded Disney's "inclusiveness" even before the policy change. Epstein, entertainment editor at Us Weekly, and Shapiro, a former director of AIDS Walks in New York and L.A., say they've been to the parks, oh, about 784,012 times, give or take a few, and wrote the book to support their habit. They give USA TODAY's Jayne Clark an insider's tour.
Q: Why do gay people love Disney so much?
Epstein: For me personally, when I was 7, I was a burgeoning little gay kid, and while I came from a very supportive family, I endured a lot of ostracism from my peers. Going to Disney World was perfect. It was like entering a fantasy land. I was accepted.
Shapiro: For me, the gay thing and Disney is ephemeral. It's the same way you can say gay people love Barbra Streisand and Madonna. And who knows really why? It's love of musical theater and fantasy. Plus it's all very neat and tidy. And you know how gays like things neat.
Disney World on the cheap: Money saving tips for the Magic Kingdom
Q: Does Disney like gays?
Shapiro: Do gay people have money? That's the cynical answer. Disney is all about inclusiveness. Everyone gets to be a Mouseketeer.
Epstein: We've heard a rumor there are one or more gay cast members in the Disney parks.
Q: But why do gays need their own guide to the Kingdom?
Shapiro: The idea is to point out things gays wouldn't get from a straight guide. These are things that will specifically ring bells for them.
Q: What aresome of the pinker places in the Kingdom?
Epstein: There are the obvious things: Ellen's Energy Adventure hosted by Ellen DeGeneres. But there are more subtle things. Honey I Shrunk the Audience was directed by Randal Kleiser, who is openly gay.
Shapiro: The way you might look at something as a gay person is different than a straight person. In the Hall of Presidents (I call it Disney's tunnel of love — it's dark, air-conditioned and half-empty), at the finale is Abraham Lincoln, who says our (government) began by affirming rights.
At a time when we're talking about gay marriage and a government that is curtailing the rights of a large number of its populace … for gay or lesbians that's going to ring bells.
Q: How significant is Disney's policy change regarding same-sex weddings?
Shapiro: It's huge. I think this is tantamount to Disney's approval of gay marriage. They're saying, "No matter what the government says, if you want to get married, it's fine by us."
Q: I was going to ask you if theIt's a Small Worldride makes you want to jump overboard. Then I saw you gave it a four-star (out of five) rating. Why in the world?
Shapiro: That was me. I like the travelogue.
Epstein: Eddie doesn't get out much. So for him, it's sort of like seeing the world.
Q: Disney is known to tightly control the message. Did they attempt to rein you in while you were researching the book?
Epstein: They were incredible. We worked with Disney from the get-go because we wanted to be accurate, but they also were supportive.
Shapiro: This is conjecture, but our guidebook isn't competition to their guides. They can't do this outreach on their own.
Q: But wouldn't Walt be spinning in his grave to read the Top 10 Places to Share a Gay Moment, one of the features in your guide?
Epstein: We talked to some gay imagineers and some gay cast members, and the pervasive feeling is that Walt was a very progressive man, though he was conservative.
Q: If you truly were the queens of the Kingdom, what would you change about the Disney parks?
Shapiro: We'd get rid of the other people.
Q: I enjoyed the Fairy Facts (gay trivia) sprinkled throughout the guide. Do you have a favorite fact?
Shapiro: (The employee) in a Mickey costume is usually a woman because of size issues. So when you see Mickey and Minnie hold hands or kissing, you know a secret.
Epstein: The Indiana Jones animatronic figure has nipples.

Dichloroacetate (DCA) is a small molecule that has been used for years to treat lactic acidosis and rare metabolic disorders in humans. Further testing now shows that it may suppress the growth of human cancer cells. Tests of DCA on human cells cultured outside of the body found that it killed lung, breast, and brain cancer cells, without affecting human normal cells. Tumors in rats that were infected with human tumors also shrank considerably. Most cancers are characterized by a resistance to apoptosis (cell death that removes abnormal cells) that makes them more likely to grow as well as be resistant to most cancer treatments. Plus, many current cancer treatments kill both cancerous and healthy cells and are highly toxic. DCA works by reversing the damage to the mitochondria that is present in cancer cells, thus reactivating the apoptosis (cell death) mechanism in them. The result is the death of the cancer cells. This mitochondrial reactivation presents an entirely new approach to treating cancer.
DCA is known to be relatively well tolerated with few significant side effects and its selectivity, effectiveness and ease of delivery (oral) make it an attractive opportunity. It is hoped that one day this treatment may become a safe and effective treatment, either along or in conjunction with other treatments, for many forms of cancer.
As cancer cells have a hyperpolarized mitochondrial membrane and deficiency in Kv channel expression, it was postulated that the reversal of this observation may increase apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth. Bonnet and colleagues reported that the administration of DCA led to the switch from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation in the Krebs Cycle through inhibition of PDHK. This was associated with an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species and a decrease in hyperpolarization of the inner mitochondrial membrane, leading to efflux of proapoptotic proteins and apoptosis as measured by increased in TUNEL-positive cells. In addition, DCA also decreased the expression of survivin, an anti-apoptotic protein. DCA upregulated the expression of Kv channels in cancer cells, leading to efflux of potassium ions and further increased the proapoptotic effect of DCA. Such change in energy metabolism and apoptosis was not observed in normal cells. DCA was also shown to inhibit tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, inhibition of PDHK by DCA represents a novel anti-cancer therapy target with reasonable toxicities to normal tissue. It is therefore of interest to study DCA in refractory cancer patients.
Although the bioavailability was only 50-60% in normal subjects treated with 2.5 microgram/kg of DCA , in a study using clinically relevant dose of DCA at 50 mg/kg, the bioavailability was 100% in health volunteers. DCA administered at 50 mg/kg/day can achieve plasma concentrations above those require for inhibition of PHDK, the target enzyme for at least 24 hours, without exceeding the concentration for maximal lactate lowering. There was a high incidence of peripheral neuropathy in adults with MELAS after administration of DCA at 50 mg/kg/day for 6 months, but peripheral neuropathy is part of the MELAS syndrome, and many adult patients with MELAS develop diabetes mellitus, which commonly presents with peripheral neuropathy. In the contrary, no peripheral neuropathy was observed in children with congenital acidosis after prolonged treatment with DCA at 50 mg/kg/day up to 2 years. Therefore, with exclusion of patients with any grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy and with careful monitoring of peripheral neuropathy using monofilaments, the likelihood of developing severe peripheral neuropathy in adult cancer patients should be minimized. Given the presence of significant neuropathy in adult patients with MELAS after treatment with DCA at 25 mg/kg/day, it is judged to be safe and reasonable to establish the starting dose at 12.5 mg/kg/day in adult cancer patients.

Because of the way the whole nose Tilts up it would be difficult to create a tow hook. That being said I believe Dan Elam may have addressed that problem with his race coupe.
Also, I have an idea that might work but no longer have a coupe to try it on. You can e-mail me at email@example.com and we can discuss it.
CHP 342/Modified T-5/carbed w(air/tilt/cruise/remote keyless entry)/IRS/13\"brakes on F5 coupe.
Front: Just add pin and cable loop.
We use a belt setup that comes out of the nose and attaches at the sides of the long round tubes. Unfortunately, I can confirm that the setup works great. We use out of date seat belts in a 'Y' and then use a strap to come forward. It is strong and still lets you open the hood.
The back is pretty straight-forward as well:
Just a standard tow hook attached with d-bolts.
The through-the-hood setup doesn't strike me as the way to go for a couple of reasons. First, I think they look ugly. Granted that isn't a safety consideration, but if you have a choice, why have them look bad and disrupt the visual appeal of the cars.
My biggest reservation is over how the thing works in it's intended role. At many of the tracks we just have a truck who pulls out of the mud/gravel. They typically are pulling from their tow hitches which is pretty low. In the case of a gravel setup, that means the car actually gets pulled down and into the gravel, defeating the purpose. A hook on the bottom pulls the car up and out of the gravel.
The through-the-hood tow hook does have advantages in situations where the entire car has to be lifted up, but this isn't the most common situation. In fact, most cars with conventional front tow hooks end up losing the hook if the accident is so bad that they want to lift the car up straight with a wrecker crane. Most tracks just take the 'good' end and tow the car or put it on a flat bed. It is extremely rare that they lift the entire car into the air.
We're playing with an idea to adapt the coupe setup to the spec racers and the preliminary look suggests that it will work. It is cheap, easy, unobtrusive, and if it works, it will work better.
If you need more pics on how ours attaches to the coupe, let me know.

You certainly hit on what was our biggest concern, but it has worked out just fine.
Rob Burton
If you take a look at some of the pics of what guys used to race it is downright scary.
So here we have a fence that can decapitate you without losing much energy before you hit the beams for the barn. If you are fortunate enough to roll the car over, you might be merely crushed to death - all the more likely since it has the little embankment to throw a car onto it's roof if you slide off sideways.
The pic below is one my favorites: the official is standing on the track and you have a telephone pole on the side of the track! Equal opportunity danger!
Of course, the crews weren't any safer: here is the VIR front straight. Notice that there isn't a single bit of guardrail or protection from the main track to pit lane.
Even the old driver's suits used to be made of fast-burning cotton. Since the drivers were often also working on cars, that meant oil or gas-soaked into the fabric.
Sometimes the racing groups end up with junk science stuff (like requiring seat belts to be changed every two years), but for the most part track safety advances and improvements to the cars and driver safety gear has resulted in transforming automobile racing from a death-defying act to something that pretty much anyone can enjoy safely.
BTW, Don had shared with us what he was going to do for a tow hook and we obviously liked the thought and engineering, but we had been concerned about lift and were thinking we might need a front splitter (we do). We wanted to avoid the hard metal setups so that we could still use a splitter and also not have to worry (as much) about catching it in dirt or a berm during an off-track excursion. If this were a street car, we would go with something like Don's setup.

Tim Dog, RIP
by Fred Pessaro
In a time when all eyes were west, transfixed on Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy E and their crew NWA, a Bronx MC had the balls to scream what a legion of New York MCs wanted to: "Fuck Compton." That MC, Tim Dog, passed away at age 46 from a seizure brought on by his longtime battle with diabetes.
Tim Dog was primarily a solo artist and released a few albums besides the killer debut Penicillin on Wax. Later on, the Bronx MC even collaborated with Kool Keith as a member of Ultra and then again as a member of Project X. Those groups released one LP each.
RIP Tim Dog. Though you were nailed on a dating scam by Dateline NBC, you'll always be remembered for that scathing diss track and the accompanying album Penicillin on Wax but, more importantly, your contribution to the hip hop culture as a whole.

Pursuit (2003)
by L. A. García-Roza
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Another bizarre plot in the 5th of the Inspector Espinosa series set in Rio de Janeiro.
A psychiatrist becomes convinced that he is being stalked by a patient. Yet, as the plot unfolds, it isn't clear just who is being stalked and exactly what is happening to the psyciatrist and his family. Espisoa eventually becomes involved in the increasingly bizarre story; he is not the major figure in the stroy but more of a bystander, tangential to the main plot line.
Very impressive writing, making the story believable and keeping the reader completely at sea as to what is really happening.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0805074392, Hardcover)
When his daughter disappears and a patient emerges as the prime suspect, a troubled psychiatrist comes to Espinosa for help, in the fifth novel in the beguiling Brazilian crime series
A hospital psychiatrist feels he's being stalked by a young patient. For as long as possible, he convinces himself that the young man is harmless, but when the doctor's daughter disappears and the patient goes missing, too, he calls on Espinosa for help. Soon after, the patient turns up dead.
With his death begins a chain of other deaths, each more mysterious than the one that preceded it, each seemingly linked to the doctor and his former patient. As Espinosa learns more about the doctor's history, it becomes harder to discern the stalker from the stalked, reality from fantasy, and the sane from the diabolical. In this installment of the "seductive, fascinating" (The New York Times Book Review) series, the sultry maze of Rio de Janeiro's streets conspires against Espinosa, confounding his judgment, stymieing his search, and, somewhere, concealing a murderer.

Yamaha EF2000is Generators w/ Twin Tech Cable and GenTran Transfer Switch
3 Attachment(s)
Hello All..
Im sure some of you had seen some of my prior posts on getting my GenTran transfer switch hooked up. Well, today I got around to testing the generator setup on the switch.
I have two Yamaha EF2000is Generators connected w/ the Twin Tech cable.
This setup gives me a rated 25 amps of power, and peak 30 amps.
I ran almost everything I wanted to with no issues.
I had approximately 200 watts of lights bulbs (led/cfl's)
1 LG Refrigerator
1 Entertainment System (Led TV, Tivo, Surround System) (appx 150 watts)
Nat Gas Furnace (smaller 2 tons sized unit)
Nat Gas Tankless (instant on) Hot Water Heater appx (50 watts)
Security Alarm / Home Networking (router / verizon fios system) (appx 100 watts)
If I turned the furnace off (leaving the rest of the above on) I could also run the following...
A hair dryer
A 1100 Watt Microwave
(Not at the same time of course)
I also plan on having my father-in-law fabricate a custom wood cover for the main panel and transfer switch, he has saw dust running through his veins.
I plan on putting together a You Tube video of this setup, as I couldnt find one before I did this.

Libertas Institute (pronounced lih-bear-tuss) derives its name from the Roman goddess of liberty, who has long been incorporated into symbols and statues throughout American history.
Our Vision
Libertas Institute envisions a day when individuals, families, and communities throughout Utah champion the principles of liberty and the voluntary creation of a moral society by persuasion and example to improve our great state. That day will come, we believe, when individual liberty is stubbornly secured, private property is rigidly respected, and a market free from regulatory burdens and government interventions flourishes within Utah.
Our Mission
Libertas Institute advances the cause of liberty in Utah using a holistic approach that includes accountability for elected officials, liberty-based legislation, strategic litigation, and effective and widespread education.
Our Benefits
The Institute's vision will be for nothing if no results are achieved. We aim to persuade the public dialogue and public policy such that sufficient political will is generated to substantially reduce taxes, eliminate regulations, repeal code found to be inimical to individual liberty, and lift regulatory burdens from the market. Individuals, associations, and corporations all stand to benefit from the Institute's efforts.

Re: Energizing Bunnies
@ruthsdad - they're not sad. They're tweaked. See the caffeine-awake stare in their eyes?
@jones21403 - you underestimate my laziness. Usually once my comps are done I won't change anything anymore unless it's super important. However, next time I do something bunny related (and I very well might), I'll remember to add in the mouths.
@fablefire - I think the mouths wouldn't make that much of a difference either way. Hey Fable, is there any time frame for when Threadless says if they'll print or not? Your toaster has been waiting a couple of weeks...
@jones again - Yeah, they could probably use an indicator of joyful mood. Still, wide-eyed staring is ok too.
@invisiblecrazy - Sorry. Stare at my second entry for a while to cut down on that, since it's getting no love at all. And we'll go with the "intense" reasoning.
@eyeslikesugar - That's high praise! ^^
@rglee129 - High praise as well. Thanks rg. I'm disappointed that your programmer-bot couldn't make it through to the end, though I guess that saved me $15.
@theinfinityloop - Thanks much. Your cat and my bunnies should get together sometime.
@goldndrkness - I hope you're not genuinely broke. I'm not sure I'd want to place if it meant putting you on the street.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone!

I'm hoping your edits are sufficient enough to skate past that rule, because I really do like the art on this. =)
Its already been said, but very good with making the icon small and off-to-the-side. Quite appropriate.

Meh, the government cant control the fact that we cant build a frictionless bearing (or surface). Thats why these things can never even run themselves very long, much less yield any form of output (other than heat from friction, and mild amusement when someone claims that it is the answer to all our energy problems).

At first I didn't like the size and placement of the coffee cup, but after thinking about it, I agree with the other posters who liked it small and where it is.

A thorough eye examination contains several tests to help your eye doctor evaluate your eyes and vision. Part of the eye examination that helps your doctor assess the overall health of your eyes is the dilated funds examination or dilation of the pupils.

Dilating eye drops

Special eye drops are used during an eye exam to make the pupil of the eye grow larger. The pupil is the opening or hole in the middle of the iris that controls the amount of incoming light. Pupil size is controlled by two different systems in the body, one acting to constrict the pupil and the other to make it larger. Therefore, two different types of medicinal eye drops are used for dilating the pupil. They are available as a combined eye drop and as separate drops. They are also available in spray form, which is easier to administer in people that are extra sensitive.

Some dilating drops also act to relax or temporarily paralyze the muscle that allows the eye to focus on near objects. Drops that accomplish this are called cycloplegic eye drops. These drops are used more in children to improve the accuracy of checking the child's overall vision. Sometimes the cycloplegic effect is simply a side effect of a dilating drop and other times the cycloplegia is the purpose of administering the drop.

Why does the doctor need to use dilating drops?

Although some parts of the inside of the eye can be viewed by looking through an undilated pupil, the view is similar to shining a flashlight into a tiny keyhole. Dilating the eye is like opening the door and turning the lights on. A dilated pupil allows a much better view into the eye to diagnose abnormalities and eye diseases. Some dilating drops produce a cycloplegic effect that relaxes the focusing muscle. You might think this would be counterintuitive when measuring a child's need for vision correction, but it calms down the visual system so the doctor can measure only the raw data with little influence from the child.

Do eye doctors use dilating or cycloplegic drops for anything else?

Yes. The cycloplegic effect of dilating drops is used to treat eye inflammation after eye surgery or for inflammatory eye conditions such as iritis or uveitis. Pediatric eye doctors use them to treat amblyopia, a condition commonly called "lazy eye" in which a child develops reduced vision for a variety of reasons. These types of drops are given for a much longer duration, sometimes even months.

How long will the dilation last?

Eye drops administered during an eye examination will usually keep your pupils dilated anywhere from 3-4 hours to 24 hours. Dilating drops are available in different strengths. Eye doctors tend to use stronger dilating drops when performing eye examinations on children or prescribing them for the treatment of inflammation or amblyopia. The duration of dilation also depends on the individual. People with light colored eyes will stay dilated longer than those with dark brown eyes. The pigment in darker eyes binds the dilating drug, lessening its effects.

What are the side effects of dilating or cycloplegic eye drops?

Because dilating drops enlarge the pupil, you will become light sensitive. Protective sunglasses should be worn outdoors for a few hours post-dilation. Because some dilating drops relax the focusing muscle, your vision may also be blurred at a close or near distance. These side effects gradually disappear over a few hours. While rare, some dilating drops cause some children to become disoriented or even hyperactive for a short time. Side other rare side effects include fever, dry mouth, flushing of the face, and rapid pulse.

Does dilating the eyes hurt?

Some dilating drops may cause temporary burning or stinging upon instillation. Occasionally, eye doctors will first apply an anesthetic numbing eye drop that sometimes stings as well. This drop acts not only to lessen the stinging and burning of the dilating drops but also to allow the dilating drops to penetrate the eye better, causing a better dilating effect.

Post of the Day
August 30, 1999
From our
Dell Computer Folder
Posts selected for this feature rarely stand alone. They are usually a part of an ongoing thread, and are out of context when presented here. The material should be read in that light.
Author: cameronj
What I also found totally amusing is the AMD / Intel processor prices. The Athlon / 600 is 30 dollars more expensive that the PIII / 600, which had always been AMD's self-touted claim to fame, that they could build them cheaper.
What a wonderful lead-in to a discussion of processors in the PC market (you didn't think I was going to talk about Dell, did you? (on my own defense, I had already posted this article a week ago, so don't say I never mention Dell) (I mean nothing against you, emtwo))...and number 3...) Nested parentheses :)
Anyway, one quick thing before I get into it: AMD has never claimed that they could produce their chips for less than Intel. Mention such a thing at a computer exhibition and you will be laughed out of the place. AMD has always been content to sell their chips for less than Intel, but was never anywhere near being able to produce them for less.
Also, I own a short-term position in AMD, hoping to ride what I see as an inevitable rise in earnings over the next 9 months or so. I plan to exit AMD with at least a 100% gain in that period. After I exit, I plan to watch AMD slowly slide down the drain to oblivion.
So, on to it. The Athlon is a superior chip to the P-III. There is no question of it. If you wish, go to www.tomshardware.com, www.sharkyextreme.com, www.firingsquad.com or www.anandtech.com, to name a few of the best sites on the web for true computer technical reviews. It is superior in office computing, it is superior in gaming computing, it is in fact superior down to the very core design concepts.
At 600 MHZ, the Athlon bests the P-III in nearly every (if not every, I just hesitate to ever say every) test. To add insult to injury, the Athlon is available (a relative term, since you can't really get your hands on it yet, more on that later) at 650 MHZ as well, whereas P-III maxes out at 600. This 650 chip beats everything Intel has on the consumer desktop in every mark, and even bests the Xeon in many tests.
Further, Athlon is just at the bottom of it's speed ladder, while the P-III is at the end. There will probably never be a P-III built on the current 0.25 micron process, because the architecture just gets too hot. When Intel moves to 0.18 micron 'wires,' it will be able to move further up, but we will not see 1 GHZ for at least another 9-12 months, possibly more. Conversely, Athlons scraped together by the aforementioned sites (and my word is all I have to offer for these sites, they are by far the most truthful and accurate and complete sites around, including PCmag,week,comp and world) have been able to be overclocked up to 700 MHZ and beyond, without special cooling. So it is safe to say that once AMD gets production rolling, they will easily be able to pull out a 700 MHZ chip for Xmas.
The Athlon will be the fastest chip on the market for 6-9 months. There will be review after review that shows a CPQ or IBM system as 10-15% faster than the Dell system. This we will have to get used to, there is nothing we can do about it. As you see above (way above), Dell still wins over the others, even without the fastest system.
Some of you will now be near the point of madness, screaming at your computer to tell you why MD is so stupid to pass up a great opportunity. Many of you already know what I will say, but I'll say it anyway. Athlon's availability and producability(my own creation) are in question. Dell has a world-beating inventory of 6 days, while AMD has a world-beating inability to deliver a product. Can you imagine trying to mesh these two companies' products? I can't.
I predict that Dell will not use the Athlon before next spring, if ever.
AMD must show that it can deliver the kind of quantities that Dell needs, on time, every time. Right now, AMD will have plenty of orders to fill from CPQ and IBM, its very close buddies, to grab all the fastest chips.
It seems to me that AMD very much needs Dell to sign on, and that AMD might be willing to give them a huge discount on chips. It would certainly help AMD's credibility, to have the name of a company like Dell who refuses to sacrifice quality to save a buck (like CPQ will). Of course, the price is probably not the biggest issue for Dell, though they are probably getting a nice price break from Intel for being the last bastion there. The key is that AMD proves it can deliver, and deliver big. If AMD can write a contract for Dell guaranteeing first-grab of all processors, I think Dell will jump at it. Just wait for AMD to get their wheels going, and then we shall see what will happen.
In the meantime, it is clear from the above review that Dell will not be missing out on the party by not having Athlon on board.
That's about all I know in the world, my brain is squeezed dry (though still a bit gooey, I suppose...)
nighty night,

Did you pick your jaw up off the floor yet? Yes, you're reading this right, Bristol Palin will be dancing in the finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 11. Brandy and Maks were voted off tonight, and viewers at home weren't the only one to gasp…..Derek Hough's mouth hung open, Jennifer Grey seemed shell shocked….heck, even the uber exuberant Kyle Massey seemed taken aback as well. So what does this say about the show? IS this a show about dancing? Or is it about garnering enough viewer votes to get that trophy, even when consistently scored low by the judges…..professionals mind you. I'm not so sure at this point but take comfort Bristol detractors, all hope is not lost. IF Jennifer and Kyle bring it next week, and Bristol does her usual so-so, the deficit between them in judges scoring could be enough to give one of them the win over Ms. Palin. Sure, you're saying "But she scores low every week"…….BUT think of it this way, there's only 3 of them to split judges votes.
The tabulation of final scores on DWTS is done this way. Every week the cumulative amout of points the judges give overall is divided into the individual overall totals. Whatever that percentage is gets added to the percentage of viewer votes and voila, you have your final results.
For Bristol fans, congrats, gotta give it to you, you got your girl to the end. Congrats as well to those voting for her as a joke, I won't name a particular site but I'm sure y'all can guess. Wink wink.
What do you think, can this girl take it all? This writer personally doesn't think so. Will the mirror ball trophy rightly go to either Kyle or Jennifer? Will Johnny Castle's prophecy of nobody putting Baby in the corner come true once again? Come discuss it in our forum here and share your thoughts! And remember, if you don't like the results, you have to VOTE VOTE VOTE!

DVD Parental Controls
Most of you probably know that setting parental controls for the Internet limits your children and grandchildren to certain Web sites. But I'm willing to bet that you've never heard of setting parental controls for DVDs that are watched using Windows Media Player, am I right? Well, it's true! You can activate Windows Media Player's parental control feature to restrict your children from viewing any DVD movies with a rating at or below the one you specify. If you're interested in that, keep reading for all the details!
If you have DVD decoder software installed on your computer (it usually comes with it), Windows Media Player can play movies using your DVD ROM drive. Yes, it's a great enhancement to Windows XP's multimedia capabilities, but one downside is that not all DVDs are suitable for young children. If you have kids who use your computer and you have DVDs you don't want them to watch, you should definitely enable the Windows Media Player parental controls. That will allow you to set a rating for your children, ranging from G to PG-13. Any movie higher than the rating you specify cannot be viewed unless the user knows the correct password. Note: For the feature to work for you when assigning multiple user accounts with parental controls, you will need an Administrator account. So, with all that out of the way, let's get started!
1.) First, go to Start, All Programs and then click on Windows Media Player.
2.) In the top right hand corner, click on the Access Application Menus button.
3.) Scroll down and click on Tools. A second box should then come up on the left of the first box. Click Options.
Now, the Options dialogue box will appear.
4.) From there, click on the DVD tab.
5.) Checkmark the Parental Control box.
6.) Next, click on the drop down bar and select the rating you prefer.
7.) Go ahead and click OK when you're finished. Once you do that, Windows Media Player will remind you to set up your user accounts. That can be done by setting up an account and a password. Then from there, you can set up limited accounts for your children or grandchildren.
8.) Lastly, finish it up by clicking OK in the Windows Media Player reminder box.
There you have it. You can now control what your precious little ones watch!

The task of information sharing can be daunting with so many separate police departments and jurisdictions.
Information sharing failures occur every day in law enforcement jurisdictions throughout the country, resulting in unsolved crimes committed by repeat offenders. This situation is about to change in King County.
"It is rare when robberies aren't done in a serial way," said Keith Haines, Chief of the Tukwila Police Department, one of more than three dozen law enforcement agencies serving the 1.7 million residents of King County, Washington. "But right now we just don't have access to information about where a person may have committed other robberies."
Haines heads an information sharing committee for the King County Police Chiefs Association (KCPCA) and is working together with Microsoft to develop and implement a system allowing simultaneous real-time access to information contained in the records management systems of all the county agencies.
"In the past, law enforcement, like many other industries, has been too concerned with its own territories and not been willing to share information," said Haines. "Recently we've gotten a core of leaders here that believe strongly in allowing other agencies to access their data to make it more effective."
The KCPCA members already had access to the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC), as well as the state's crime database. But the NCIC only reflects convictions, and the state database doesn't list someone until an arrest is made.
What was needed was the means to share operational data impacting ongoing investigations at a local level.
The association designed WIRE (Web-based Information for Regional Enforcement), a Web site where the agencies post crime bulletins and analyses available to other agencies via a search engine. While this was better than nothing, only information on major crimes was posted with data uploaded perhaps once a week. Overall, it proved too limited and too slow to meet the needs of the officers.
"The information collection on suspects, locations and vehicles has gone on for years so our databases are huge," says Haines. "There are mountains of useful information to be sorted through and WIRE just provides a tiny slice of that data."
The KCPCA, therefore, started investigating information sharing systems used in other parts of the country but found little that approached the functionality it sought. Then in stepped one of King County's more famous companies, Microsoft Corporation, to lend a hand.
Led by Jeff Langford, a Technology Specialist for State and Local Justice and Public Safety Team at Microsoft, the company offered to donate the expertise necessary to link the different databases being kept by the county's agencies.
Sharing the Wealth
A pilot of the new system, called the Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) has already begun. Initial participants are the Tukwila Police Department and the King County Sheriff's Office, which provides contract services to 14 cities.
Rather than having to combine all the data from the different agencies into a huge centralized database in a specialized format, RISS utilizes Microsoft's .NET architecture to link the data that the agencies are already keeping regardless of the format.
"The technology we are using is agnostic as to what platform the agency is using," Langford explained. "Whether they are using IBM's DB2 on a mainframe, an Oracle database on a UNIX server or one of our products, the information is in the same basic format so that everyone is talking the same language."
To participate, the agency needs a server running the Windows 2000 Server operating system and Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS), together with Microsoft's .NET framework software, which makes it possible to share information between the databases. The combined cost for the hardware and software is about $3,500 per participating site.

Most Paris museums open, strikers consider options
PARIS (Reuters) - Most top Paris museums were open on Sunday but unions said a strike against government cost cuts could resume next week, closing the doors of major attractions.
The modernist Pompidou Center, whose workers have led the demonstrations, was shut for the fourteenth day in a row.
But all the other top draws, such as the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay art galleries, opened their doors to avoid angering the public. Entry to museums in the French capital is free on the first Sunday of every month.
"They decided to make a gesture toward the public. This strike is not against the public," said a spokesman for the culture branch of the powerful CGT union.
However, he said union workers would meet on Monday and strikes were expected to resume.
"There is a pause in the action but meetings are planned for Monday to restart the movement," he said.
The unions are angry about a government plan to fill only half the vacancies left by retiring officials. They say the reduced staffing threatens the security of the priceless art.
They also complain that a new emphasis on costs and ticket sales is overshadowing cultural worth as a measure of success.
The Culture Ministry has said it hopes to have a dialogue with the unions soon to ensure all museums are open to visitors. Continued...

Major changes to hospital services across South Wales will have an impact on patients and services at the University Hospital of Wales, a senior health official has warned.
Paul Hollard, director of planning at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, said although the proposed changes under the South Wales Programme are for hospitals outside of the region, it is vital that residents understand there will be knock-on effects to Wales' biggest hospital.
Proposals put forward under the Programme will see at least one hospital from a choice of Bridgend's Princess of Wales, Llantrisant's Royal Glamorgan and Merthyr Tydfil's Prince Charles lose consultant-led maternity and neonatal care, inpatient children's services and emergency medicine (A&E).
Health bosses have said the "best fit" option, which scored most highly on issues such as safety, quality and access, would be to remove these services from the Royal Glamorgan site.
But Mr Hollard said the changes, which are currently in the last week of public consultation, could mean that some other services in UHW could be affected.
He said: "I think the first thing to remember is that while there's a lot of focus on hospitals outside of Cardiff and the Vale, that all the options will result in some impact on the University Hospital of Wales, particularly in respect of paediatric and A&E. Obviously if there are increasing numbers of patients then there's an issue about what services within the health board may have to move to accommodate them.
"At the moment we are not in a position to assess that because it varies across the options, and the consultation is still ongoing. We hope to be making these decisions around October. We will then have to make decision and engage with the public about these changes to accommodate the services.
"What's really important is that there will be an impact on UHW and there will be an issue in terms of accessing services. The flow in UHW will depend on what changes occur around us.
"We are committed to using all the hospitals involved to make this programme function. We may look at providing some services across hospitals, which does happen now, where patients have treatment that falls in and out of Cardiff and the Vale."
So far the consultation, which finishes on Friday, has seen nearly 12,000 questionnaires have been completed.
The questionnaire can be completed at www.wales.nhs.uk/SWP/swp-questionnaire or people can email their views to email@example.com

Great Accident Lawyers
Why You Should Contract Reliable Accident Attorneys
As a car accident happens suddenly and changes your life, you should contract an accident attorney to deal with all the consequences of your car accident including paying for medical care expenses. If your car accident has been caused by someone else's fault or negligence, you should contract an accident attorney because you cannot be too objective when it comes to dealing with the aftermath of the car accident you've just experienced. By contracting a reliable and trustworthy accident attorney in order to provide you with the necessary legal guidance and assistance, you will also be helped to handle each of your compensation claims related to being a victim of an accident.
Your accident attorney will speak to the police, doctors and the witnesses who could provide information regarding the circumstances of your car accident in order for you to stay focused on getting recovered and gaining your healthy condition back. In fact, relying solely on the insurance provider of the guilty driver to provide you with the maximum compensation package for all your injuries and damages is not a wise idea because the insurance company will disappoint you. Read http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tag/car-accident for news concerning car accidents.
But before contracting an accident attorney from www.siegfriedandjensen.com/practice-areas/auto-accidents, you should find out everything about his/her level of expertise and previous experience. This way, you will get to make sure that you will be provided with quality expertise and in-depth knowledge that can easily make the difference when it comes to securing a successful outcome for your case. You should contract an accident attorney who can provide you with maximum compensation for your injuries, loss of past and current wages, severe pains and suffering especially because you cannot think about money issues in the aftermath of the accident due to the intensity of what you've just experienced. The accident attorney will make sure to employ a separate team in order to find out everything about the circumstances of your accident and also gather the evidences in your accident spot.
Additionally, your accident attorney will provide you with deeper analysis regarding the true cause of your auto accident in order to have your case handled in the best way possible and also make it more favorable for you. The redirected accident attorney you contract will handle all the negotiations with your opposition and once the guilty party and his/her insurance provider refuse to pay up for his/her negligence or fault, your accident attorney will take your accident case up to the court.

Chavez, Duddy promise great fight
By Rafael Soto /Top Rank
Photos: Rafael Soto/Top Rank
Unbeaten "Son of the Legend" Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Ireland's John Duddy both promised a great fight on Saturday when they collide in the "Latin Fury 15" pay-per-view headliner at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. "This is the most important fight of my career and I prepared very well because I know I have a very strong opponent. I think the people will win on Saturday because it will be a great fight," Chavez Jr. said during the final news conference. Duddy echoed the sentiment, saying, "We know that a victory in this fight will put the winner close to a title shot and I'm sure it will turn out to be a memorable fight."
In the semi-final match of the night, three-time world champion Marco Antonio Barrera (65-7, 43 KOs) will face Brazilian Adilton DeJesus (26-4, 21 KOs). Also in an all-Texas shootout, local heros Gabriel Elizondo and Raul Martinez meet in a highly charged super flyweight clash and featherweight Salvador Sanchez II goes against Tomas Villa. "I think this is one of the editions of the Latin Fury series that looks more competitive, especially the main event event between Chavez Jr. and Duddy, which doesn't have a clear favorite. Both fighters can win," stated Hall of Fame Top Rank promoter Bob Arum.
Chavez Jr. (40-0-1, 30 KOs) of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico and Duddy (29-1, 18 KOs) from Derry, Ireland will fight the WBC Silver middleweight title, with the winner becoming the mandatory challenger for the WBC middleweight championship.
Fernando Beltran, president of Zanfer, said he has known Chavez Jr since childhood, when his father conquered the boxing world. He has been with the son of the legend since his pro debut and believes Chavez has never been as physically prepared as he is now.
"It was great to see him with Roach and his team, and I recognize the attitude Julius Caesar Jr now has and that gives us confidence that this Saturday he'll give his best performance against a dangerous rival in Duddy," said the Mexican promoter.
Prior to the fight, Chávez joined Freddie Roach and his team for five weeks in Los Angeles, California.
Barrera (65-7, 43 KOs) of Mexico City will face DeJesus (26-4, 21 KOs) of Bahia, Brazil in his first fight in 15 months.
"I want to be the first Mexican to win four championships in four different categories and why I'm here with Top Rank who will help me achieve that goal that I still have in boxing. But, first I must defeat DeJesus and then look for that dream of the lightweight belt,"said the 35-year-old Barrera.
DeJesus, a very strong fighter, expects to come out with a win over the legendary champion Barrera.
"I came very prepared and I have great confidence that this preparation will help me get the biggest win of my career against a great boxer like Marco Antonio," said De Jesus.
In a fight that has aroused much interest among the local fans, Martinez (26-1, 15 KOs) will take on Elizondo (22-3-1, 10 KOs)for the Texas state super flyweight belt. Both hail from San Antonio.
"We've gone a long time without a world champion San Antonio. The last was Jesse Leija. Gabriel and I are regarded to be the next world champions from the city following our great amateur careers. Elizondo is a good friend, but this is business and will be a great opportunity for both of us to shine on a big fight card," said Martinez.
In the opening TV fight, Salvador Sanchez II (1-3-2, 9 KOs) of Tianguistenco, Mexico faces Tomas Villa (22-7-4, 14 KOs, of Midland, Texas (formerly from Oginaga, Chihuahua, Mexico) in an eight round featherweight match-up.
"This an opportunity to appear on a big card and show my talent. I am working with a new team and you'll see the results of this great preparation on Saturday," said Sanchez II, who trained in Big Bear, California under the tutelage of Abel Sanchez.
Further undercard fights featuring undefeated young prospects Joseph Benavidez (6-0, 6 KOs) of Phoenix, Arizona and Omar Henry (9-0, 6 KOs) of Houston, Texas, will be streamed live over the Internet at www.toprank.com/TRLivestream.
Super lightweight Benavidez will face Josh Beeman (4-6-2, 2 KOs) of Providence, Rhode Island and junior welterweight Henry will clash with Hilario Lopez (12-9, 8 KOs) of Nampa, Indiana.
The weigh-in will be on Friday at 1:30 pm at the Arnison River Theater in downtown San Antonio.

Is it ok to let Ditra set to subfloor today, then lay tile tomorrow?
Hey gang,
Its getting late in the day and I dont forsee laying any tile today but have time to lay the Ditra. Would it be ok to thinset the Ditra to the subfloor, let it sit overnight, then tomorrow thinset over the Ditra and lay my tile. Or does the tile have to be laid ASAP after the Ditra is put down?
No, the advantage is that you don't have to wait. You will do fine leaving it until tomorrow.
I concur no problem letting it set up.
Sometimes I let it setup anyway.

Barney Josephson, Owner of Cafe Society Jazz Club, Is Dead at 86
By JOHN S. WILSON
Published: September 30, 1988
Barney Josephson, who brought down racial barriers as the owner of the legendary Cafe Society and who brought recognition to Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson, Alberta Hunter and other jazz singers and musicians during nearly half a century of showmanship, died of gastrointestinal bleeding yesterday at St. Vincent's Hospital. He was 86 years old.
When Mr. Josephson opened Cafe Society in a basement room at 2 Sheridan Square in December 1938, he changed a longstanding custom in American nightclubs.
''I wanted a club where blacks and whites worked together behind the footlights and sat together out front,'' he once said. ''There wasn't, so far as I know, a place like it in New York or in the whole country.'' Incubators of Talent
Although from the earliest days of jazz, black musicians played for white audiences, few nightclubs permitted blacks and whites to mix in the audience. Even the famous Cotton Club in Harlem, where Duke Ellington, Lena Horne and Cab Calloway made their names, was a segregated place, admitting only an occasional black celebrity to sit at an obscure table. In 1938, Mr. Josephson's Cafe Society was the first nightclub in a white neighborhood to welcome customers of all races.
For the next decade, Cafe Society and Cafe Society Uptown, which he opened two years later on East 58th Street, were consistent incubators of talent, producing a long list of singers, comedians, jazz musicians and dancers who came to prominence there.
They included Billie Holiday, who sang in Cafe Society's opening show in 1938 and remained there for nine months; Lena Horne, Sarah Vaughan, Nellie Lutcher, Rose Murphy, the Golden Gate Quartet, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Hazel Scott, Josh White and Susan Reed. The boogie-woogie pianists Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis and Pete Johnson, along with Big Joe Turner, the blues singer, were in Cafe Society's first show and remained for four years, stimulating the boogie-woogie fad that swept the country.
Jack Gilford, who had been a stooge for Milton Berle, was the comedian and master of ceremonies in that opening show. He stayed for two years and was followed by Zero Mostel, making his professional debut; Imogene Coca; Jimmy Savo and Carol Channing, among other comedians.
Pearl Primus and the Krafft Sisters danced at the two cafes, and such jazz musicians as Mary Lou Williams, Art Tatum, Teddy Wilson, Red Allen, Joe Sullivan, Edmond Hall and Eddie Heywood played there.
Mr. Josephson was in his mid-30's and had had no experience in the nightclub or entertainment fields when he opened his Greenwich Village club. He had worked in shoe stores in Atlantic City and Trenton, where he was born in 1902, the youngest of six children, two years after his parents emigrated from Latvia. His father, a cobbler, died shortly after his birth. His mother, a seamstress, worked for a ladies' tailor. Two of his brothers, Leon and Louis, became lawyers.
When Mr. Josephson graduated from Trenton High School, his oldest brother, David, put him to work in his shoe store. After the store went bankrupt during the Depression, Mr. Josephson got a job in another shoe store in Atlantic City, earning $40 a week as a buyer, window trimmer and orthopedic fitter.
''I knew it all,'' he said years later. ''I still think I know more about shoes than I do about the cafe business.''
He soon tired of Atlantic City and the shoe business, however. In the mid-1930's, he moved to New York with $7.80 in his pocket and a vague notion about opening a nightclub.
During a vacation in Europe he had become fascinated by the political cabarets of Prague and Berlin. He had also become a jazz fan as a result of trips to Harlem to hear Duke Ellington's band at the Cotton Club when he visited New York as a shoe buyer. 'It Infuriated Me'
''One thing that bugged me about the Cotton Club was that blacks were limited to the back one-third of the club, behind columns and partitions,'' he said. ''It infuriated me that even in their own ghetto they had to take this. Of course, in any club below Harlem, which had black entertainment, such as the Kit Kat Club, a black couldn't even get in.''
Mr. Josephson, a trim, soft-spoken man, was offended by ''the mugs, the gangster-looking people with policies of clipping and padding checks,'' who, it appeared to him, ran most nightclubs. ''Why can't the nightclub business be legitimate, like shoes?'' he asked.
In the fall of 1938, after seeing a political cabaret put on by the Theater Arts Committee, he decided to try his hand at a ''legitimate'' nightclub. With $6,000, borrowed from two friends of his brother Leon, he rented the basement of 2 Sheridan Square for $200 a month and had the bare walls covered with murals by prominent Greenwich Village artists - Adolph Dehn, William Gropper, Sam Berman, Abe Birnbaum, Syd Hoff, John Groth, Ad Reinhardt and Anton Refregier.
''I told them I was going to open a political cabaret with jazz - a satire on the upper classes,'' Mr. Josephson later recalled. '' 'You guys paint anything you want,' I said. I told them I'd pay them each $125 and a due bill for another $125 so they could come in and eat and drink any time.''
