Daniel Briere and Jaromir Jagr scored 34 seconds apart as the Philadelphia Flyers tallied three times in the second period and posted their fifth straight win with a 5-2 triumph over the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.
Wayne Simmonds scored and set up a goal and Claude Giroux had a pair of assists before exiting after Simmonds' knee hit his head during the second period. Giroux, who entered Saturday's play as the NHL's points leader, did not return to the contest.Briere accepted a feed from Simmonds and beat goalie Mathieu Garon at 2:38 to tie the game at 1-1.
Jagr hammered a deflected shot off the crossbar and past Garon at 3:12. It was Jagr's 656th career goal, tying him with Brendan Shanahan for 11th on the all-time list. Briere and Jagr also had assists in the third.
Simmonds' power-play goal went in off Lightning defenseman Brett Clark's skate at 14:49 for a 3-1 lead.
Vincent Lecavalier recorded a power-play goal 55 seconds into the third to get the Lightning within 3-2.
Defenseman Matt Carle responded at 4:55 on the power play and Scott Hartnell added a late empty netter to extend his goal streak to five games.
Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov also left in the third period and was replaced by Sergei Bobrovsky.

Perspectives from anthropology, history and material culture studies
9-10 November 2009
A conference held at the National Museum of Australia, in association with the School of Archaeology and Anthropology, Faculty of Arts, Australian National University.
A linking theme was the development of local 'hybrid economies' involving the articulation of Indigenous and settler social and economic forms, and the emergence of new complexes of transactions and relations.
We covered a broad variety of economies from whaling to CDEP across the span of more than two centuries.

THE Blues are targeting a fast start against Munster at the Arms Park tonight in order to reassure disgruntled home fans that they are not the rag-tag bunch they looked in their crushing defeat to Leinster last weekend.
Director of rugby Phil Davies, not to mention a selection of his players, some of whom weren't even involved in Dublin, have spent much of the week insisting that 'crisis' is too strong a word for the present situation at the capital city region.
But after five successive defeats, two of which against Sale and Toulon have already put paid to their Heineken Cup hopes, pressure is building on Davies, who badly needs a victory tonight to quieten down his growing band of critics.
Centre Gavin Evans, one of those who sat out the 59-22 Leinster drubbing, is restored to the starting line-up at outside centre, and the former Scarlets man stressed the importance of the Blues setting the right tone from the kick-off.
"It is important we start well, we need a good first 20 minutes because that will send a message that we're not as bad a side as some may think after the Leinster game," said Evans.
"The Arms Park crowd can be like an extra player.
"When it is bouncing the place is a brilliant atmosphere, we felt that when we got the early try against Toulon. The buzz was brilliant.
"I know it didn't look it, but there were positives we could take from the Leinster game.
"It was a difficult one to watch, but it is something we just have to put to bed, though we've analysed our mistakes.
"The boys are in great shape in strength and fitness and, while a couple of results haven't gone our way, that is rugby.
"Munster have quality players, they have flair in the backs with someone like Casey Laulala. He is someone who can produce magic from nothing and he has to be shut down as quickly as possible."
Laulala won't be the only threat, however, with Munster having named a strong-looking side. despite being shorn of their Irish internationals.
Veteran outside-half Ronan O'Gara will pull the strings at fly-half having been allowed back into his provincial camp to get some game-time and former All Blacks wing Doug Howlett will captain the side.
Davies, meanwhile, has made sweeping changes to the team that began against Leinster, although he too is without his Wales international contingent who have been in Poland all week preparing for the autumn series.
In the backs, Dan Fish, Tom Williams, Gavin Evans and Lewis Jones come into the side, while Fijian prop Campese Ma'afu, Rhys Williams, Lou Reed and Robin Copeland are drafted in up front.
Davies said: "It was clear for all to see that last weekend's game against Leinster wasn't a very positive night for us.
"We all knew when we started in June that it would be a massive challenge.
"Looking at the game we have ahead of us, Munster, regardless of what XV they put on the pitch they are going to be hard and uncompromising up front.
"Both sides have got a new coaching group who are trying to develop and change.
"Supporters can look forward to a very competitive match, as it always is against Munster."
That their team is competitive tonight is likely to be the least the Blues supporters will demand.

We're slackers. How lame is it to blog about something that's been going on for months (since November), but is about to close in four days? Until March 13th (this Sunday) you can still get your butt over to the Conservatory of Flowers for some Garden Railway action. It's cool! James Sellier, Artist in Residence at Recology crafted a bunch of new SF landmarks out of recycled materials. The Dutch Windmill's blades are made out of old wooden rulers, love it!
Yes, there really is a bison paddock in Golden Gate Park with real life bison frolicking about. I guess I've never seen them frolic, but I bet they do late at night when no one's looking. According to wikipedia they've been keeping bison since 1891.
No mini Golden Gate Park scene would be complete without a mini Conservatory of Flowers. I love the Aloe "tree".
There are a few non-park scenes going on too. If only the Transamerica building and Castro theater were so close to each other in real life. Coming soon: Amy Stewart's Wicked Plants: Botanical Rogues & Assassins, opening April 7th. We won't wait months and months to go check it out this time around.

I would like to join this as an experienced buyer and point out that i completely agree with your opinions.
I am not sure what a "code of conduct" would do to help and lets be clear most buyers do not behave in this manner however those that do are in most cases grossly out of line. Maybe a pop up on purchase that requires a tick box reiterating that buyers understand that support is not mandatory and nor is custom modification; just as a final reminder.
I have said it load on here before but this marketplace is a two way street. I have bought just shy of 500 files on this account alone let alone our team one and have submitted a grand total of 7 support tickets to authors with only 1 being due to my own stupidity. In the few occasions I have gone to authors for clarification or help they have all been above and beyond helpful.
I am lucky that I have the technical knowledge and the relationships with author son here to cope on my own in 99% of cases, however non experience may be an excuse for mis understanding – it is not justification for rudeness or unfair behaviour. I think it has something to do with the nature and facelessness of the marketplace. I can bet that a vast majority of buyers who unfairly winge and complain here would realise in real life they are in the wrong and never dare to do it face to face in a store.
I know we read that "without buyers authors would be helpless" BUT at the same time "without authors quite a few buyers would be out of business!"
It really winds me up to see buyers unfairly complaining weather it is about no 24 hours support times or lack of custom modifications, but at the same time I genuinely feel sympathy for those who simply do not understand and are polite enough to understand – hence why the unhealthy amount of time we spend here trying to help people out, and do think it is just good manners for authors to at least manage their expectations.
very nicely put, tough i don't mind a constructive criticisms, in the end if you don't like, cant work with it, don't see our help fit, just ask for a refund but do not shout and be rude, specially i hate buyers who get a refund and after that still wants support and uses a theme, now that's a whole different level of nasty.
And you mate… go and buy my item
Here's what I propose, let's create a Buyer's & Prospects Code of Conduct where every author would contribute in enriching it, let's call it "The Charlie's Code of Conduct" :
Before giving this code of conduct a start I think there should be a short notice for Buyers to understand the complexity behind the after sale service and the limitations in terms of time & resources, so I think a short paragraph explaining to buyers the team behind the item(s) and the time zone + working hours + response delays so that buyers can expect when to receive answers
1- Before asking a question, the buyer/prospect should at least read the public information about the item (item description, documentation (if available), knowledge base) in order not to ask the same questions again and again + if possible to read the latest comments
2- Understand where to send the information (comment zone, ticket system, PM…)
3- Greeting when writing for the first time (a minimum is to say Hi / Hello) and ask questions in a proper way/manner
4- Respecting a minimum delay after opening a ticket (some buyers expect immediate answers on a 24/7 basis + expect full custom support based on the 35-60$ purchase
waiting for your feedback to keep on going….
UOU Apps
Ha ha I love this thread and am fully behind "The Charlie's Code of Conduct" and the humbling replies, I want to reiterate the main reason for me posting was to
- Add a buyer perspective,
- Explain that the vast majority of us are not all bad ;
) Prevent anyone suggesting that the thread is overrun by just authors
And most of all to reiterate the importance of both buyers and authors behaving in a way that help manage each others expectation, respect [and blood pressure!]
I do not think there is a general epidemic of bad behavior amongst buyers at all, and the vast majority are polite and respectful. There are some big author names in this thread and all with valuable feedback and great attitudes.
Personally I have learnt more on here form authors than I did in 4 years at uni, and will continue to translate my experience into mutual respect for any author I buy from.
As the for anyothers I am sure that even the "Charlie code" will solve every situation but 99% of the time hopefully it will be a positive experience for at both ends, and I am sure that in the mean time envato will do what they can to help this along.

Harold Evans
Harold Evans is editor at large for Thomson Reuters. In a long life, he has done pretty well everything in journalism: reporter, columnist, broadcaster, author, editor of dailies and Sundays and, in the US, of a tabloid
Have you made a flagrant error, in confusing your alternative choices? The legendary Fleet Street editor Harold Evans proscribes this glossary to solve your language dilemmas
The long read: In 1981, Mrs Thatcher needed a boost from the press. By supporting Rupert Murdoch's bid for the Times and Sunday Times, she made sure she got it. Harold Evans, who led an unsuccessful staff takeover bid, reveals a historic carve-up

Harold Evans: In a new preface to his book, Good Times, Bad Times, the former Sunday Times editor connects the phone-hacking crisis to earlier events at News International
Harold Evans: A free press has always had to contend with police officers waving the Official Secrets Act
In his long career on Fleet Street, the former Sunday Times editor often tangled with the courts when stories became troublesome for those in power
Harold Evans: As a Brit-born American, I see how the two spills – Robert Green's and BP's – are part of one close relationship
Harold Evans: Though many oppose health reform, Barack Obama's rejection in Massachusetts is mainly because millions are still out of work
Harold Evans: Judge Goldstone has been suckered into letting war criminals use his name to pillory Israel
Harold Evans: After he was framed as a bank robber, I helped clear his name. Now he's been singled out for another non-crime
Harold Evans: The US media have been captivated by Obama, at the expense of their curiosity and scepticism
Harold Evans, in a long life, has done pretty well everything in journalism: reporter, columnist, broadcaster, author, editor of dailies and Sundays and, in the US, of a tabloid
Harold Evans: If Al Gore were to become the 44th president, the United States might stand a chance of finding its true self again.
It's time for real action against regimes that stand idly by when reporters are killed, says the eminent former Fleet Street editor Harold Evans
Harold Evans: The Treasury is working on a plan which could land descendants of the elderly with a tax bill that is greater than their inheritance.
Harold Evans: Whether Iraq is now plunged into civil war is a question of definition but President Bush has a vested interest in attempting to avoid the term.
Harold Evans: Bob Woodward's new book should be a gift to the Democrats, but they're so confused they can't exploit it.
Harold Evans: US soldiers are dying for freedom in Iraq, no less than those who raised the flag at Iwo Jima.
Harold Evans: When the actions of a handful of soldiers threaten to stain the name of the US army, remember Joe Rosenthal's classic image of valour.
Harold Evans: The civil rights lobbies are blind to the lethal nature of the new Salafist totalitarianism.
Harold Evans: Before we march and speak out in support of Hizbullah, we should remember exactly what they stand for and what they have done.
Harold Evans: Much of his appeal is based on being the repository of the trust and hopes that Bush has squandered.
In all he did, Hugo Young was a gracious and lucid guardian of "civilised values". His friendships were enduring because of his warmth, his sense of comedy, his integrity, and his remarkable tolerance for those who did not know what silly mid-off was.
Harold Evans: The humiliation of the New York Times is a drama at three levels: the personal, the political and the journalistic.
The papers knew about Dubya's deals in 2000. Strangely, they kept quiet, writes Harold Evans.
The New York Times aims to run an obituary for every person who died in the twin towers. The handful it prints daily have become required reading. Three months after the attacks, Harold Evans introduces a selection.
We were warned. We were warned by some of the best minds in the United States that without a new emphasis on homeland security "Americans will likely die on American soil, possibly in large numbers".
Don McCullin risked his life in the world's war zones, from Cambodia to the Congo, Beirut to the Bogside, to capture history on camera. Harold Evans reveals the empathy that lay behind McCullin's bravery.
Harold Evans assesses the stunning popularity of an outgoing president.
I was up against Garry Kasparov, for 15 years the world chess champion. I captured the pawn offered in his opening gambit. It was a trap. We were on television debating the great Florida fiasco, and he had layers of argument in his arsenal.
Fuzzy maths, continued. And fuzzy history, too. Pundits, who should know better, and politicians, keep citing the 1960 Kennedy/Nixon election as a model for how great men should behave in the little local difficulty we have here.

Great book

About Me Sys Admin
Comments about oreilly Head First C:
As a network guy who worked with routers/switches for about 10 years. This book really explains how things work! stuff I used and took for granted are beautifully explained and it's so cool to know how things really work.Would recommend this book for curious people who would like to know how low level things work. For example - how processes come to life and how they communicate over the internet (and within the computer itself).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not for beginner
By ponghissimo
from Turin, Italy
About Me Developer, Educator, Programmer
This book is fun to read, because the topic is so playful, and is full of images.But this is a book for those who already know the material and wants to re-study.It is not a book to start, because the topics are treated briefly, and many things are considered as already known.This book introduces some commands / instructions without explaining, and this causes confusion in the reader.In short, this book is not a step by step approach, but the arguments are exhibited together, and then explained briefly, leaving many things for granted.This book brings together many concepts at once, that a student novice is hard to digest.However, for those who already know a little the topic, this is a good book, and it is also fun.But it is not for start.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Student
This was my first book about programming but I don't think it's ideal for beginners. The title Head First made me think so unluckily. The book doesn't come cheap though, and it's quite obscure and deal with some concepts superfast. It almost convinced me to give up with the matter. The bright side of its difficulty to understand is that it made me doing many researches and focus a lot so the other books were easier eventually.....books much more better written and found online for free!

Not Recommended
By nooninm

About Me Developer
Bad: You should already know some C before reading this book. Also, it is Linux/Unix centric in spite of claiming otherwise. Good: There were many topics that were touched upon, such as pipes, posix, system, and interprocess communication, that lets you know such things exist.Overall: It seems the book was put together just to have a C book to sell. Definitely not up to par with the other Head First books I've read.

Best C book for anyone
By Adib
from Tehran, IRAN
I like the way this book organized and specially the interview parts was so funny and helpful for getting the main idea.I think anyone who want to be a good programmer should know C and reading this book is really the best choice for them.
I am very happy with Head First C!

About Me Developer, Sys Admin, Syseng
Shifting from the standard O'Reilly book to the Head First style took some faith. However, I've melted my brain trying to re-learn C. Head First C style really made the job fun and gave me lots of ideas for my own programs. Head First C does not teach programming but it covers a lot of ground so you can be using C in a variety of ways.

Gold medalists can get $3,000 cocktail at London club for free
Hennessy Paradis Imperial cognac. Luxor 24-carat gold leaf champagne. A set of handmade 18-carat gold rings.
At the posh Chinawhite nightclub in London, you can get all that together in a champagne glass (yes, even the rings), but it'll cost you a pretty penny. A mighty attractive penny.
£2,012 — or roughly $3,136.31 — to be exact.
But that's if you're not an Olympic champion. Won gold in London? Just flash your hardware (as we're sure some athletes are doing shamelessly at countless London nightspots), and you can get this extravagant golden cocktail for the hard-to-beat price of on-the-house. It's just one of the many perks that come with winning at the Games.
"The golden cocktail is our special creation, and we have given some away," Chinawhite's director James Spallone told Yahoo! Sports. "Every night we have a presentation for the gold medalists, and it has been very well received."
And if you didn't win anything, don't sweat. Chinawhite will be more than happy to still let you behind the velvet rope, so long as you're an Olympian.
"The athletes have been preparing for this for years, so it is great for us to provide them with a place where they can let their hair down and enjoy themselves," Spallone said. "We make sure they have a great time and have some special memories of London to take home."
Gold-medalist swimmers Ryan Lochte and Chad le Clos are reportedly two London 2012 stars who have gotten VIP treatment at Chinawhite since the Games began.
It's not clear if they actually sampled the club's swanky alcoholic concoction. But for Lochte, whom we've heard doesn't shy away from a good time, we wouldn't put it past him.

" - Savage, wasn't it?"
"I'll tell you what it was Dawn," I hunker forward, elbows on blond wood, hands cupping regulation Covent Garden espresso. "You see, I actually quite liked Beckett in the flesh, but when I got home and listened to the tape over and over again, and discovered that what she'd said to me amounted to precisely nothing: nothing of herself, nothing substantive about politics ... well, I was incredibly annoyed and angry."
"I expect you'll feel the same way about me when you listen to the tape over and over again."
Well, no, Dawn, I didn't feel the same way about you, because you aren't a cabinet minister - you're a television executive. We don't look to TV execs for ethical wisdom or social policy; indeed, it's not quite clear to me why we look to them at all, and not simply over their shoulders to the goggle box they service. It's only since the launch of Channel 4 in the early Eighties that the big cheeses in TV have gained any kind of notoriety at all; arguably the salience of the Grades, Birts, Yentobs and Jacksons is a function of the need for competing broadcast networks to extend their branding through their organisational hierarchy and into their very personnel.
Airey, 38, is a judo black belt whose self-confessed love affair with television had her applying for trainee positions after university. She cut her teeth researching, then programme planning at Central, before vaulting over to commissioning at ITV Network Centre. From there she abseiled to Channel 4 as Arts and Entertainment Controller. And it was while she was bivouacking at C4, that Greg Dyke, the Channel 5 expedition leader, selected her for his assault on the summit of commercial television.
She's currently Programme Director at Channel 5 - and as such is, according to Management Today, the 49th most important woman in Britain - but my hunch is that once the station is firmly established, she'll jump ship. This is a woman who has ambitions to be the boss. Last year she was courted by Elisabeth Murdoch to join Sky. In a factitious piece for the Times on her PA, published in July, Airey said: "I was offered a senior job at Sky recently, there were several reasons why I turned it down, but one was because Elspeth" (the PA) "didn't want to commute to Osterley."
At the same time as these human resources problems were bothering Airey, she was dispatched to Harvard to undergo an elite business course which has groomed such stratospheric telly talents as Dyke. He said of this course that a third of the intake "see the light" and leave their jobs, and a further third leave their partners. It's now a year on from the course and Airey and her partner of 19 years have, indeed, recently split. "There was no one else involved on either side, and insofar as these things can be, it was wholly amicable." We mull over the possible impact of the job - she regularly works 15 hours a day - on the relationship; and although she acknowledges that her partner "probably thinks it should take a degree of responsibility", she says that really "we just acknowledged that we'd grown apart".
We're sitting at a round, blond-wood conference table, and to my left, on a rack of tasteful shelving, there are suspended five televisions tuned to five different channels. There are quite a lot of Channel 5 logos posted around the place. Outside the window London's West End roars in a muted sort of a way; and through the glass walls on the opposite side of the office I can see Elspeth and various other 5 employees toiling away. The whole atmosphere is so entirely sui generis that I wouldn't be at all surprised if a little Channel 5 logo actually appeared in the corner of my visual field and remained there despite the most frantic rubbing.
Airey is a smallish, slight, vaguely mannish woman, with a brownish un- hairdo. Here face encapsulates overtones of vole in its rodentine benignity. She's wearing a white, long-sleeved T-shirt-style blouse, with silvery piping at the neck and cuffs. She has on silver jewellery - necklace, bangles - which is inlaid with blue, semi-precious stones and looks vaguely ethnic. I think she has on dark trousers, but frankly her legs are off- screen as far as I'm concerned, tucked under the newscaster's table. She talks with the slightly suppressed, rounded vowels of a Northern woman (she was born in Preston, but raised mostly in the South-West), and holds herself canted forward from the waist, hands loosely clasped. When she chuckles - which she does with reasonable frequency - it has a gendered burr to it: "Her-her-her-huh."
One acerbic telly exec I know said of her: "She's a man really. I mean - she looks like a dyke - "
" - But she isn't."
"Right - she isn't. But she's done this whole number of like being a man. She does all that talking about sport, and how the drive to work was. I've never seen her in a skirt. It's like some decision that she's made."
Another, equally rebarbative, scion of the celestial square had this to say of Airey: "The thing is she's never actually made a programme. She's a stats woman. She sets great store by research - she hasn't anything original to contribute in terms of her own agenda, she's tinkering with a product in order to sell more of it. Pure and simple."
And indeed, to me, Airey plaints in remorseless business-speak of how she is "producing a product which is ruthlessly and aggressively commercial for our shareholders". This is trumpeted time and again, as if such a shibboleth of capitalism were, in and of itself, a justification for all life, all endeavour. In terms of C5 Chief Executive David Elstein's stated audience targets (5 per cent nationally), Airey and her colleagues are almost succeeding. In the year to January the channel increased its audience share to 4.6 per cent, and looks set to achieve Elstein's goal fairly soon. But this hasn't been accomplished without the egregious programming of low-grade sensationalist tat, emotionally voyeuristic drivel, and pornographic schlock. Oh, and a lot of worthwhile gardening and home-improvement programmes.
C5 has received various admonitions from the Broadcasting Standards Commission, including a singular statement damning it for "peddling sex for the sake of sex". It is widely seen to have fallen short of Lord Hollick's vision of providing a "quality service"; although whether this will be viewed by the Independent Television Commission as constituting a breach of its overall remit remains to be seen.
My hunch is that C5 will squeak through on all fronts - for a time. Media analysts point out that while pushing BSC programme codes to the limit may attract audiences in the short term, it does nothing to engender long-term loyalty. And loyalty - in these days of television Balkanisation, as the digital, satellite and cable stations maraud from steppes - is everything. The axe (wielded by Airey herself) is still whistling around the ears of Family Affairs, the C5 soap opera which makes Emmerdale look like La Comedie Humaine. And as for the much vaunted Channel 5 News, with its odour-eater-down-her-pants presenter Kirsty Young, this has suffered alarming plunges in viewing figures as it gets yanked around the six o'clock slot. The real ratings for the channel have consistently been found in football coverage and feature films.
Well, while it may be immensely shrewd to be able to buy in these things with a budget of just pounds 110m (a fraction of the other terrestrial networks), it hardly makes you Lord Reith. Airey sees herself - apparently - as something of a maverick; not an "organisation" woman. I was led to expect someone forthright and outspoken, who wouldn't be afraid to mince her words when it came to justifying programmes like UK Raw, in which a dwarf lifts weights with his penis, another man eats live locusts, and a third shoves lit Roman candles up his arse.
"We're a very intellectual team," Airey says to me of her pairing with Elstein (styled - by some - "the most intelligent man in television", presumably on the grounds of his gaining a first-class degree from Cambridge at the age of 19). I don't doubt that Airey may have some intelligence lurking somewhere inside her, but she seems to have got on the wrong end of the last couple of year's programming. Or, as the acerbic exec put it to me: "If she's so intelligent, why does she spend her whole time thinking about something so stupid?"
She speaks of the channel having "honesty and directness" and not "mediating with our subject matter". I find it hard to imagine how a slice of commercially- sponsored ultra pap like the Pepsi Chart Show could be further mediated by anything, save a voice-over intoning: "And now! Brought to you with no expense whatsoever...!" But Airey says: "I'm neutral about politics, I don't think it really matters." She also opines: "I don't bring my personal morality into the office." But pressed into closer consideration of where this leaves any ambit for ethics in life at all, she retreats into cod futurology: "I think people are getting more hedonistic and concerned about themselves and themselves only." And: "I think the Internet can be a great leveller." Doh!
When asked about the pornography she screens (or "adult programming" as she likes to call it - although what could conceivably be more childish than tossing yourself off in front of baby-oiled slappers dry-humping each other?), the following exchange ensues:
WS: When do you think pornography does start to degrade people?
DA: When it's exploitative.
WS: How do you know when it's exploitative?
DA: Well, I think that's a very, very interesting question, and actually the next series of Sex and Shopping is actually about exploitation, and it's asking that question: who is exploiting who? Is it actually the people making the films exploiting the women, or is it actually the women exploiting the men?
WS: Well which is it?
DA: I actually think it's almost a symbiotic relationship because both parties are getting something out of it.
I'm afraid I found this level of debate scarcely worth engaging with. But Airey is, despite a need to defend her chosen job which renders her intellectually redundant, well worth inquiring into. For she represents, to my mind, all sorts of emerging trends in Blairite society, trends which will soon come to dominate Britain. Airey is very much a Blair babe. She tells me she has always voted Lib-Dem except for "the last time".
Airey's quintessentially Blairite in the following ways: although educated at Girton College, Cambridge she regards herself as an "outsider". She actually adored Cambridge and is clearly an institutional person par excellence; she has that unnerving way which people who loved their time at college have, of talking about it as if they're still there. Still cycling over the Bridge of Sighs with a scarf slung around her neck and the poems of W B Yeats in the basket on the handlebars. Yeuch. She was an executive of both the Union and the JCR, and the Captain of tennis. Her pals were "easygoing and eclectic" - she remains "close friends" with 10 of them, four of whom are "in the industry".
This is highly Blair, this vermiculation of traditional institutional structures by the upwardly-boring provincial bourgeoisie. Equally Blairite is all of Airey's allegedly "value-free" discussion - of work, politics, the media, sex - which consists of nothing so much as values and norms. But most Blairite of all is Airey's avowed childlessness. Her remarks on this are worth quoting at length, because, to give her credit where credit is due, it's unusual to hear any woman talk about this issue with such frankness:
WS: Do you think you'll ever have kids?
DA: No.
WS: Definitely not?
DA: Yeah
WS: Any particular reason for that?
DA: Ahm ... well, actually it's all sorts of reasons. It links into maturity. If you're going to have kids it's the ultimate responsibility and I don't feel responsible enough. Not because I don't like kids, not because I made a conscious decision: career or kids, if I wanted kids I'd have kids and a career. I just haven't felt the need to reproduce myself. That isn't to say my hormones mightn't suddenly go crazy and I'll want a child.
This isn't really a piece concerned with psychoanalytic probing, but when she went on to say: "From quite an early age I thought it pretty unlikely that I'd become a mum." I couldn't forbear from asking her about her own relationship with her mother. She said "Huh!" significantly, and then conceded that it was fair to say that it "wasn't great". In truth, Airey's family, as defined by her, was "totally dysfunctional", and she hasn't remained close to any of them. Now, this may be quite unlike the observable facts about the home life of our own dear Leader, but I do think there are significant parallels here. For, while Airey is content to receive a substantial six-figure salary for peddling porn to an ageing viewer base of social classes C2, D and E, she herself remains aloof; her aesthetics along with her ethics safely in the closet. Is it stretching speculation too far to analogise Airey's never-to-be-born children and the Blair Government's never-to-be-taken responsibility for genuine redistribution of wealth?
The idea that Airey considers C5 to be her "child", I find highly dubious. It's more, that like the Labour leadership, she feels - though does not articulate, even to herself - an innate superiority to the people her channel/government caters for.
While there's no need to descend to intellectual snobbery here, there was something unsatisfying, even worrying, about the way that she slid first into vagueness on the issue of broadcasters' responsibilities, - "are we reflecting or fuelling these situations? It's not a simple answer" - and, latterly, into statistics - "we've done a survey".
Indeed, as my acerbic friend observed, Airey sets great store by audience surveys, or "qualitative research" as she terms it. The ultimate justification for her programming policies seems to come from this "trend monitoring in thousands of Channel 5 homes with lists of questions. On the issue of sex especially we ask exhaustive questions." And the answers lead Airey and her colleagues to an understanding of exactly how much "adult programming" and at what time in the schedule, the viewers can bear. Needless to say - what they'll bear, they're given.
Substitute "policy" for "programme", and "focus group" for "survey" and it all sounds a bit like Blairism. Also Blair-like was Airey's willingness to be a Murdoch poodle. It was stunning to hear a responsible British broadcaster defend Murdoch's inroads into China on the basis that: "If people don't like what broadcasters are doing it's up to their governments to act as regulators." Hmm, if you're a Chinese citizen and object to Fox TV, I suppose you can always watch a television set atop a wall in Tiananmen Square.
Still, I don't imagine for a second that this is all there is to Dawn Airey. Like a lot of consummate institutional people I suspect she's more than capable of recutting her cloth to suit the occasion. I dare say if the position of controller of BBC2 became vacant we might well see an Airey who spends her spare time shelling quails' eggs to the sound of Debussy. Nor is her work at C5 entirely without merit. And nor is she an unattractive or unlikeable person. I admired her honesty about her difficult family, her avowed childlessness, and the demise of her relationship. But at core there seems a vacuity, an "indifference" - to use her own ascription - about Airey. And while there may be something interesting in observing an intelligent woman struggle relentlessly to deliver a product which is ruthlessly and aggressively commercial, it's no more edifying than watching a dwarf lift weights with his penis. 1

London - Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez was disqualified from driving on Monday after failing to provide the required documentation when his car was caught speeding.
Tevez's vehicle broke the speed limit in Morecambe, northwest England, on March 28 when he played for City's reserve team against Morecambe reserves.
The Argentine's solicitor, Gwyn Lewis, told magistrates in Lancaster that Tevez accepted he did not provide identification - which carries six penalty points - and that under the totting up procedure he was now liable for disqualification.
"My instructions are though he was not the driver on that occasion I am not going to argue against a ban on grounds of exceptional hardship," Lewis said.
Lewis asked the magistrates to impose an interim disqualification and adjourn sentencing so that the "no licence case" from Manchester could be dealt with at the same time.
"He (Tevez) has been told that he will not be able to drive this morning," the solicitor added.
Tevez, who did not attend the hearing, will discover the length of the suspension on December 20.
The ban is the latest motoring misdemeanor for the former Manchester United and West Ham star, who had his Porsche Panamera impounded in Manchester on November 15 when he could not produce a full UK driving licence.
Tevez, 28, mimicked driving a vehicle after that incident as he celebrated scoring twice in City's Premier League win at home to Aston Villa.

The recent announcement that General Peter Pace will not be allowed to serve a second term as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is in accord with Bush administration efforts to remove from the Iraq scene all traces of those responsible for its creation.
Don Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Douglas Feith who helped conceive the Iraq War plan have departed for better things to do or other places. General Tommy Franks and General John Abizaid are no longer on active duty, and Naval Admiral Mike Mullen is to head the Joint Chiefs of Staff while fellow Admiral William Fallon is in charge of ground operations in Iraq.
I assume if those in charge at the dawn of creation are not around, Bush hopes to convey the feeling the Iraq War just happened, and he was left with the onerous task of dealing with a problem not of his making. Notice how right wing commentators continue blaming Iran for our problems in Iraq even though Iran had absolutely nothing to do with the American led effort to remove Saddam Hussein. Heck, they hated the guy and welcomed his death.
I await the final denouement of Bush's story of how he was dragged into this unpopular war. Somehow, the evil characters will be liberal Democrats, and the hero will be George Bush who saved America from the fiasco of the "Democrat Party" war in Iraq. I am most intrigued by placing Naval Admirals in charge of ground operations. Perhaps, this is connected to the Bush strategy of shifting blame. Oh, I understand, the Marines will rush to the rescue and save America from the cut and run Democrats who started a war and now want to flee before it is concluded with victory.

Location: Dale Bumpers National Rice Research CenterTitle: 13C discrimination: A stable isotope method to quantify root interactions between C3 rice (Oryza sativa) and C4 barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) in flooded fields Author

Citation: Gealy, D.R., Fischer, A.J. 2010. 13C discrimination: A stable isotope method to quantify root interactions between C3 rice (Oryza sativa) and C4 barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) in flooded fields. Weed Science. 58(3):359-368. Interpretive Summary: Problem – Interaction with weed roots is thought to play a role in the ability of weed-suppressive rice varieties to control weeds. However, evaluation of these interactions under field conditions has been very challenging, largely because crop and weed roots become easily intertwined in the soil and cannot be separated without damage. We aimed to develop and field-test an accurate and efficient method that determines the relative amounts and distribution of rice and barnyardgrass roots in soils of flooded rice fields by measuring ratios of stable carbon isotopes present in root samples obtained from these fields. Accomplishment – The carbon isotope ratios were very consistent over the four years of the experiment, and the (negative) values for pure rice roots were more than double those for pure barnyardgrass roots. This facilitated the development of accurate standard concentration curves for measuring root mixtures of unknown rice and barnyardgrass content. About 50% more barnyardgrass root material was found in the top 2 inches of soil in plots of son-suppressive Lemont rice than in weed-suppressive PI 312777 rice. Contribution – This work represents the first successful use of a stable carbon isotope technique to determine subsurface root distributions of a weed-suppressive rice cultivar and barnyardgrass in flood-irrigated rice fields. It opens the way to more thorough exploration of the important interactions that may occur between the roots of weed-suppressive rice and troublesome grass weeds.
Technical Abstract: Evaluation of crop-weed root interactions in soils under field conditions has traditionally been challenging, largely because roots of the crop and weed can become physically intertwined during plant development. Root interactions between weed suppressive rice and barnyardgrass under field conditions are not well understood. This paper introduces a stable isotope method that can quantify the amounts of roots of rice and barnyardgrass intermixed in flooded field soils. It relies on the biological principle that rice, a C3 (photosynthetic pathway) species, discriminates more effectively than barnyardgrass, a C4 species, against a relatively rare isotopic form (13C) of CO2. This results in different 13C:12C isotope ratios (expressed as 'delta' 13C) in root tissues of the two species. 'Delta' 13C values for monoculture barnyardgrass and rice grown in a standard flood-irrigated system were highly stable over four crop years, averaging approximately -13.12 ±0.80 and -28.5±0.11 ‰ (parts per 1000), respectively, based on analysis by an isotope ratio mass spectrometer. Standard concentration curves relating measured 'delta' 13C values to set proportions of rice:barnyardgrass root biomass or root carbon mass were well described by linear regressions, typically with regression coefficient values of 0.96 or greater. Quantities of intermixed rice and barnyardgrass roots sampled 0- to 5-cm-deep from soil between rice rows were estimated by extrapolation from standard curves based on 'delta' 13C values. About 50% more barnyardgrass root tissue was detected in plots of Lemont long-grain rice than in weed-suppressive PI 312777 indica rice, demonstrating the feasibility of using this stable carbon isotope method in flooded rice systems.

It looks like wolf is back knocking on the door...
Palm is once more facing an uncertain future this week after posting third quarter financial results which suggest that for all the promise of web OS it had merely stalled an inevitable decline.
The key points: a loss of $22m over the last three months and - more worryingly - just 408,000 of the 960,000 Pre/Pre Plus and Pixi/Pixi Plus models it shipped to telcos over the last three months actually found buyers. This figure of 408,000 is down 29 per cent on Q2 and 15 per cent year on year suggesting the public is fast losing interest.
"Our recent underperformance has been very disappointing, but the potential for Palm remains strong," said Palm chairman and CEO Jon Rubinstein as he tried to put a brave face on things. "The work we're doing to improve sales is having an impact, we're making great progress on future products, and we're looking forward to upcoming launches with new carrier partners. Most importantly, we have built a unique and highly differentiated platform in webOS, which will provide us with a considerable - and growing - advantage as we move forward."
Well yes and no Jon. The bigger problems are threefold: when you wowed the world at the unveiling of web OS and the Pre at CES 2009 you then took six months to launch it in the US and a whopping 10 1/2 months to ship it internationally. The world had moved on. Secondly, despite the huge potential of web OS (it multi-tasks more elegantly than any mobile platform on the market) Palm does not have the financial clout to develop it at the speed it needs to in order to compete with iPhone OS and Android. Lastly, this means web OS has not caught the imagination of third party developers so the 'App Catalog' remains bereft of quality applications and consequently the type of purchases that tie users to a platform long term.
Of course Palm may yet rise once more from the ashes with some stunning new handset, though the disappointing incremental nature of the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus (pictured) don't bode well. Consequently, much as it pains me to say it, I think the time has come for one of the major Asian giants such as Samsung or LG to step in and put Palm out of its misery. Both LG and Samsung are wizards at producing formidable hardware, but when it comes to building an attractive and intuitive OSes, their end results have been about as useful as a brain surgeon in boxing gloves.
So let me spell it out once more for the cheap seats: Palm you had a brilliant vision, but you don't have the resources to develop it. Dear Samsung/LG buy Palm, make web OS your core platform, throw your millions at its development team and crowbar it onto such stunning hardware as the Beam and Mini GD880. Problems solved.
Sheesh. Do I have to do everything...

"After rescuing my 7 year old pit bull mix in September, I knew her sweet face would make for a charming holiday card. Not only that, but I know how much she delights my friends and family, so the search was on for a holiday card that would capture her personality. I got rave reviews from those who received the card! It's simple and cute. The card stock is nice and thick, and allowed me to write a message on the back without it bleeding through to the other side. Customization was easy and I was walked through each step of the process. I can't wait to have another reason to buy cards from TinyPrints.com!"

Hey guys, this is my first post to the site. This type of scenario has been on my mind for a long time, and was hoping I could get everyone to sound off on how they feel about it.
Me and my girlfriend are walking home from a game/venue/event in the city. The game let out late and we Were minding our own business walking back to the car when these thugs from this youtube video pop out and start harassing my girl.
Warning: Graphic Video
YouTube Beating: Richmond, VA Beating Posted to YouTube - wtvr
I want no trouble (and NEVER want or plan to pull out my weapon) so I keep walking at a fast pace with my girl. Then I picture all the thugs swarming me like they did the guy in the youtube video. I then access the situation, warn, brandish, and pull out my weapon. Two charge me and I drop the first two, as the others scream threats and vulgarity and take off. I immediately call the police and head to the station.
During press release/pre-trial and trial, my name and/or picture gets out and these guys search and find where me or my family lives....
What to do? You know if they are gang members they will probably be out for revenge. I couldnt imagine living my life paranoid and watching my back for the rest of my life. I have a successful and seated life in which I'm involved in my community. Do you just move?
probably paranoid, but this very thought has kept me reserved about concealed carry. I know its better to worry about this issue then to not be able to defend yourself, but its still in the back of my mind.

Tomorrow is Halloween and you know what that means for us?? Costume parade at grandma and grandpa's house!!! Mommy said that since grandma and grandpa don't have any human grandchildren that we are their grandbabies. It's ok with me because I get lots of presents and kisses but that also means that we have to get dressed up in our Halloween costumes and go over there and let them take pictures and smooch on us. It's hard work, but someone has to do it! Mommy got me a turtle costume. She loves turtles and we have 2 of them, Sticky and Juicy that live in the basement during the winter and out in their pond during the warmer months, which isn't long. My older sister Trixie is going to be the Great Pumpkin and my other big sister is going to be a lobster. My mom calls her a blobster. Mommy is so funny when it comes to our costumes. I hope I get a couple of doggy treats when I am there. Mom doesn't let me go trick or treating because she says she will end up eating my candy and no one passes out my kind of treats so we just sit at home and have a doggy Halloween party and watch scary movies but to be honest I just go to sleep and wait for bedtime to come :) I am just too pooped to stay up and watch movies but I still like it because mommy gets scared watching zombie movies and holds me tight and we get to snuggle. I will make sure mom posts my Halloween pictures, I know she will take a hundred of them! Boy I don't know what I would do if she had real kids, I am glad I don't have to worry about that because I will always be her baby boy. Well, we are off to bed, tomorrow is a big day and we have to get our beauty sleep so we look great in our costumes!!
Wow today is so busy! Being Diary of the Day has made me so popular and happy. I have gotten so many new friend requests and messages of friendliness I can't believe it! Mommy didn't know that anyone was even reading what I was telling her to write. I can't type because I don't have thumbs so she has been typing this all for me.
Today wasn't exciting at all until this happened. Mommy was supposed to go to Cleveland but it didn't work out and now we are stuck here for the weekend with nothing to do!! It's rainy and cold and we don't like to go out in that so maybe I will make mommy take me to the mall or something.
I would like to thank all my dog friends for their support on this my day of great appreciation. Thanks!!! Pee Wee
Mommy goes to school 4 days a week and today was her first day back after the weekend. I saw her getting ready and decided I wanted to go to!! She was so shocked to see me get up from my little man couch and run to do the door and wait to get suited up. She got me all ready and put my vest on and off we went. School was a little scarier than the other places I went to. Everyone was in a hurry but everyone thought I was so cute. Of course some big fat man said that I didn't miss a meal, whatever that meant, but mom was on it and said that he didn't either and he needed to get home to keep his calories up. She is so funny! She always protects me. Mommy and I are in love. Hmmm I wonder what tomorrow is going to bring. Mom said though that I can't go with her tomorrow because she has chemistry lab and doesn't have a pair of dog goggles for me to wear and it would be too dangerous for me to be in the lab. I am sure though we will do something when we get home.

The Bishops' Letter "Economic Justice For All": Twenty-Five Years Later
In November 1986, in the midst of an economic expansion, the bishops of the United States published a pastoral letter on Catholic social teaching and its policy implications. They gave it the title "Economic Justice for All." A quarter century later, the economy is stagnating, the Tea Party and Occupy Wall St. have emerged, and we are in the midst of a prolonged budget crisis.
- How well do the bishops' analysis and prescriptions hold up after 25 years?
- How relevant is Catholic social teaching to today's economic and budget crisis?
- Does the current political deadlock on the budget reflect different views of economic justice?
This event was made possible through the generosity of the Ford Foundation and co-sponsored by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and the Woodstock Theological Center.

This is a quick write up for Transmission Fluid Drain and Fill procedure on 2nd GEN CTS. For you weekend DYI folks that want to give your CTS a quick thank you, this is for you. Keep in mind this particular procedure is not a flush, there will still be about 1/3 of the old fluid left in the tranny. There are some procedures to supplement this where you can add a hose to the transmission cooler supply line, that will flush the old fluid into a bucket. I opted not to do this as my car is only at about 60,000 miles. I would recommend doing this, along with dropping the pan and a thorough cleaning with a new gasket at around 100,000 miles.
Materials Tools used:
~Oil/Fluid Hand Pump
~4.5 Quarts of Royal Purple Max ATF (Dexron VI)
~Oil Drain pan
~1/2" Socket Wrench
~7/8" wrench 3/8" ratchet
~2 Rhino Ramps
~Angled Panel Remover Tool/Flat Head screwdriver
~Telescopic Mirror
Here we Go:
Once you have the vehicle up on the ramps with your parking brake engaged, slide under the vehicle and locate the transmission, between the two exhaust pipes. Find the drain plug and ready your socket wrench to remove the drain plug, make sure you have your drain pain positioned directly under the tranny pan. I would advise wearing latex gloves and have a few shop towels nearby in case it gets messy. Loosen the drain plug with your wrench and then unscrew by hand. Allow all of the fluid to drain completely out, this make take a few minutes. Use this time to clean the drain plug with a paper towel.
The next step is to use a flat head screw driver or in my case I used an angled panel tool to remove the top fill-plug from the side of the transmission. (It's a little challenging to get to to, as it is above one of the shafts leading into the transfer case.) Pop the plug up and remove. Clean the area around the fill hole with a shop towel to make sure no contaminants can fall into the hole when you go back to fill with your pump. Use your telescopic mirror to look around the opening of the hole.
Prepare your 5 quarts of ATF, and affix your pump nozzle and hose to the quart. Position your tube into the fill hole and begin pumping the fluid (remember, we have not put the drain plug back in at this point). Pump about half the quart into the fill hole, allowing it to drain through the pan. At this point put the drain plug back in and tighten all the way. Do not over-tighten.
Now pump the rest of that quart and 4 more. When you get to the half way point of your 4th quart, begin pumping slowly. You do-not want to over fill the transmission, this can cause problems. You want to fill it to the point where the fluid begins to seep out of the opening. At this point remove the fill tube and insert the fill-plug back in to the top of the transmission fill hole.
Clean up your tools and work space. Start the vehicle and shift from park into all of the gears.
That's it! A quick transmission drain and fill keeping your CTS running smooth!

The Planning Department's mission is to guide Anchorage land use development and community resources to meet the quality of life, economic, social, environmental, and physical needs of present and future residents.
Good planning makes for livable neighborhoods, a safe and healthy community, and a sustainable economy. How land use fits in with housing, transportation, community and economic development gives Anchorage its character.
The Planning Department has a staff of 26 that are responsible for a wide range of planning, zoning, and development activities.
On June 5, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved forwarding to the Anchorage Assembly a recommendation to adopt (with amendments) the September 2016 draft of the Anchorage 2040 Land Use Plan.
Click here to go to the project page for additional information.
A Smart Growth America workshop was held in Anchorage on May 10, 2016, resulting in several meaningful recommendations meant to kick-start new development in Downtown Anchorage. Facilitated by Christopher Zimmerman, Smart Growth's Vice President for Economic Development, and Alex Hutchinson, Smart Growth's Economic Development Specialist, the primary recommendation resulted in the identification of the "A Few Good Blocks" project.
"A Few Good Blocks" is underway with new development in a public/private partnership between the Municipality of Anchorage and Cook Inlet Housing Authority at 7th Avenue and I Street. Click here for three reports and the full list of Smart Growth America's recommendations, as well as a story about the workshop in "The Western Planner."
For more information on Anchorage's Smart Growth efforts: firstname.lastname@example.com or 907.343.7993.
Mountain View Targeted Neighborhood Plan
The Mountain View Targeted Neighborhood Plan, March 2016 Public Hearing Draft, was approved by the Anchorage Assembly on September 13, 2016. A final document will be available in early 2017. In the meantime, click here to download the Public Hearing Draft.
Spenard Corridor Plan
The Municipality of Anchorage is embarking on a project to establish a long-term vision for the Spenard Corridor. Over the next year, the Municipality will engage the community in a planning process that will explore the potential for new buildings in the area, identify opportunities to improve circulation for all travel modes, and develop a plan that guides the area's future for years to come. The Municipality held a community workshop for the Spenard Corridor Plan project on July 27.

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

DW Quality, An Amazing Price
DW created the Performance Series to allow a wider range of drummers to tap into legendary quality at an unheard-of price. It all starts with the slick new shell design, known as HVX. The HVX shells blend horizontal, vertical, and diagonal plies of hand-selected North American hard rock maple (eight in total), and are voiced to give you solid low mids and a ton of punch and articulation. The result: The Performance Series drums give you affordable drums that can easily span genres.
But the shells aren't the only new touches on the Performance Series drums, as DW graced these shells with a new look, courtesy of scaled-down versions of DW's trademark turret lug. Also onboard are DW stalwarts such as the STM (Suspension Tom Mounts) True Pitch tuning, and 45-degree back-cut bearing edges. When you hear and feel how much drum you get for the money, you won't believe how affordable the DW Performance Series is!
This is a 6.5" x 14" DW Performance Series snare drum.DW Performance Series 6.5" x 14" Snare Drum Features at a Glance:
- Finish: Natural
- 6.5" x 14" Snare Drum
- Handcrafted in the USA

There are states which boast educational accomplishments of their children, there are states which are proud of their economic development, there are states which are proud of their low unemployment figure, and there are states such as Arizona which are proud to have a state gun. Oh, a few months ago, one of their Congresswomen, Gabrielle Giffords got gunned down, but what the heck, as long ast he gun man used a state gun, that's all that counts. Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a landmark piece of legislation that gives Arizona an official state firearm. The Colt Single Action Revolver is now officially the state gun. So, if you intend to rob a bank or kill a person, please make certain the Cold Single Action Revolver is your choice of weapon. According to the state law, any murder committed with an official weapon results in a 20% reduction in the length of the sentence. Of course, there is one dark side to this event, earlier this year Utah became the first state to make a firearm its official weapon. We all can not be first on the block with the latest important decision.
Unfortunately for Jared Lee Loughner, he used a Glock gun, and since he failed to adhere to the high standards of Arizona in selecting a weapon to use in a crime, the result will be to add on another five years to his sentence. Oh, there are some complaints from sore head Navajo Indians who complain the Colt gun was used to kill their ancestors, but, after all they are just a bunch of injuns.

Wow Pedaheh, that's pretty stunning either way. (And that is a killer look you're giving the camera). It would also be really gorgeous if you sort of combined the two - smooth on top (I love how it has that little "sweep" back from the hairline!) and just bendy on the ends (barely scrunch).
Your hair is as fine and soft as my sister's. I got to "wavy her up" with protein FSG and ArcAngel when she was here last month. Her hair has a very delicate wave pattern too. (See - not wavy imposter, "delicate wave pattern!" It's all how you frame it). It was very cute. She was surprised. I was squealing over the little waves that appeared. Her 7 year old came over and said to her mom, "Hi curly!"
If my hair dries "naked" it still waves and curls, but much less defined and tends to fly around. Sometimes it's cute (if I do say so myself) big waves with curly ends and goofy half-spirals or huge clumps. Products really give us the definition and clumps. I think soooo many wavies never discover their waves because waves can be so delicate people just don't recognize them and that those little bends and flips and twists
actually mean something
Wavy imposter/delicate waves. I like the latter. I'm such a wavy evangelist.

SLIDESHOW: Dancing lions & firecrackers explode at Vietnamese Cultural Center New Year celebration; Mayor McGinn speaks
For SLIDESHOW, click on photo for more, or click on photo from gallery below
The Vietnamese Lunar New Year known as T"ết Nguyên Đán" or Tet, was celebrated today, Saturday, Feb. 16, at the Vietnamese Cultural Center, 2236 SW Orchard St. in West Seattle. Mayor Mike McGinn attended, and spoke. He sported a yellow and red-striped tie, the colors of the South Vietnamese flag, given to him at a prior Vietnamese celebration he attended at Seattle Center. In the background was the community center's second memorial, what some may call a temple, adjacent to the existing memorial. It is under construction and expected to be finished by Aug. 1.
The mayor's opening words were, "Chúc mừng năm mới", or Happy New Year in Vietnamese.
"The Seattle City Council passed a resolution recognizing this flag as the 'Heritage Flag of the Vietnamese Community in Seattle' and I was given this tie in recognition of that resolution," Mayor McGinn told the West Seattle Herald after he spoke.
"This community is here in large part because of the strife that was in Vietnam from the war, the boat people afterwards, and for them this is a very defining part of their community so it is very important that we recognize that history and why in part they're here," he added. "The Vietnamese community contributes tremendously to our city, to our region. This is Tet. It's a big day and I'm glad to be out here. This is my third Tet festival of the day I attended."
"I think it is a beautiful day, and a lot of people came today.," said Cultutral Center Director Lee Ducly Bui. "I hope that it is a good year for the Vietnamese Cultural Center and we are looking foreword to when we officially open the memorial."
In keeping with tradition, the dragon dances and music, were performed by the Âu Lạc Vovinam Lion Dance Team.

Philomela was changed, at her own prayer, into a nightingale that she might escape the vengeance of her brother-in-law Tereus.
The tragical distractions of Tereus and Thyestes are nonsense to us.
The gods were so enraged at this that they turned Itys into a pheasant, Procne into a swallow, and Tereus into a hawk.
Another similar instance is the 'voice of the shuttle' in the Tereus of Sophocles.
The king of birds, transformed from Tereus, King of Thrace, twitters in the following style.
Having brought the war, with the aid of Tereus, to a happy end, he gave him his daughter Procne to wife.
The two wives were changed at their own request to nightingale and swallow, and Tereus became a hoopoe.
In Phocis, he found the belief still existing that larks laid no eggs there because of the sin of Tereus.
Why, Philomela, are you complaining of the cruelty of Tereus, the Ismarian tyrant?
The sisters fled, and when Tereus pursued them with an axe they besought the gods to change them into birds.
