Grade A Health Rating For The People's Kitchen At OWS, Almost
Occupy Wall Street's eatery gets the coveted top health inspection from the city of New York - or so they thought.
Over the weekend someone posted a 'A' grade health inspection sign at The People's Kitchen, the restaurant of Occupy Wall Street. Stand-up comedian John Knefel tweeted about the rating and posted a picture, which may or may not have been taken seriously by occupiers at Zuccotti Park. Kitchen staff were initially excited about the 'A' grade, as an indication of the cleanliness standards at Zuccotti Park; clearly there are still some resentments after Bloomberg's attempt to evacuate occupiers for the sake of "cleaning" the space. Of course, The People's Kitchen is not officially registered, so it would be unable to acquire a rating anyways.
While The People's Kitchen may not itself be eligible for health inspector reviews, its food has certainly been scrutinized and celebrated elsewhere. The food at Occupy Wall Street has included local fare from restaurants such as Katz's Delicatessen and Birdbath Bakery, serving the protestors famed New York City sandwiches and organic baked goods. There are also shipments of donations and money for food coming in from all over the country, including free Ben and Jerry's.

I asked my girlfriend, "Why are you so stupid?"
Research ››› ››› ERIC ALTERMAN
There's a new Think Again column, "No Substance, Please. We're Journalists," here, and a new Nation column, "Liberalism's Lost Libretto" about "The Coast of Utopia," here.
The Smart Boyz at The Note argue that it's a good thing to spend two years arguing over the minutiae of an electoral campaign because you learn more about the man or woman who might be president. That's a nice theory, too bad most of what we learn is idiotic nonsense that obscures rather than clarifies the truth. For instance, I lack the vocabulary skills to express my degree of annoyance at stories like these. Even if these stories were true in any significant sense, they would be silly and pointless.
Look, David Geffen held a fundraiser. That's all. If you think that means Obama gets to tell Geffen what to say or do when speaking to the press, you understand nothing whatsoever about politics and power. Hillary's camp knows this, but they also know a story like this is irresistible to reporters, even if it is based on a premise they know to be both factually false and intellectually unsupportable. Arianna makes a point here about Hillary's campaign's willingness to be purposely untruthful -- and for what? -- but even so, it's hardly the central one ...
I mean, just look at this crap. Un****ingbelievable.
Meanwhile, The Atlantic thinks my 2004 Hollywood piece is news again.
Bob Reich on trade and labor standards, here.
Hooray for this. I don't let my students use Wikipedia for their papers or oral reports, but you wouldn't believe what a struggle it is...
Ever notice how much Todd Gitlin looks like, um, Wilford Brimley?
(Who the heck is...)
That's why we needed The Politico. We weren't getting enough information about Bill and Hillary in the sack.
Also, I guess there was not enough sucking up to McCain going on ...
Wash. Post published four op-eds attacking prosecution and trial of Libby, none supporting them, here.
Remember, MSNBC hired this guy.
Have you already been swamped by the 2008 presidential madness -- by Hillary, and her swiftboaters, and Obama(mania), and Edwards, and McCain hawking his wares in Iowa, and Hagel, and a gaggle (or maybe a gagel) of lesser presidential candidates, wannabes, and thought-abouts haggling over their prospects, and the latest definitively meaningless polls on the candidates, and whether various giant states are going to swamp smaller states in the race to be first in the primaries, and which of the candidates are ahead in the mad dash to the various moneybags who finance both parties?
Why this media and candidate announcement madness? You won't find out from reading your morning paper or catching the nightly news on TV. Sometimes a dash of history, a bit of historical context, not to speak of a little informed speculation is just what the media rush to the polls is lacking. Fortunately, Steve Fraser at TomDispatch has the antidote to the already headlong race to 2008. A canny historian, he considers the historical factors that go into a "turning-point" election, which previous elections in American history might qualify as such, and whether last November's midterm elections might slip under the definitional wire. He explores what happens when an old order rigidifies and what might (or might not) be born out of it -- and concludes that there is "a good case to be made that the 2006 election may turn out to be one of those rare turning points, or at least a signal that one is looming on the near horizon."

Dear Eric:
Thank you for citing my Wired article on antibiotic-resistant infections in US military hospitals, "The Invisible Enemy." While the Lt. Col. seemed to enjoy the story, he's painting with a pretty broad brush when he says that my story is "not news." For years, Defense Department spokesmen have been telling the press that the source of the bacteria in question, which has infected or colonized over 700 wounded US soldiers and killed at least five civilians in military hospitals, was the Iraqi soil. The Lt. Col. perpetuates this myth by referring to the bacteria as a "foreign bug," ostensibly from Iraq. In fact, as I point out in the article, the primary source of the infections was the US combat-support hospitals themselves.
The proliferation of the mistaken notion that the source of the bacteria was Iraqi dirt leads not only to misconceptions about how drug-resistant organisms are created (and can be controlled), but to bad medical practice on the front lines, which creates more death and disease. In a recent article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, a trauma surgeon in Afghanistan was quoted as saying his team was planning on building double doors in their field hospital to keep out desert sand contaminated with this organism -- though it does not live in the sand, as the DoD has known for at least a year and a half, while saying otherwise publicly.
The fact that the same strains of acinetobacter causing the US military infections have now spread into civilian hospitals in Europe where wounded troops receive care -- resulting in the deaths of dozens of civilians in London -- is worth noting. I interviewed several parents of wounded US soldiers who were never told that their children were infected with a potentially dangerous organism, and thus did not protect themselves from carrying it out of the hospital into other institutions. In one case cited in my story, the mother of a Marine was not even told that her son had died of a bacterial infection, but that he had expired as a result of his war wounds. It took a VA investigation to uncover the truth.
So while the association of war and disease is as old as war itself, and the evolution of drug-resistant organisms is a problem worldwide, I'm confident that my story of this particular pathogen, where it really came from, how it spread, and how this epidemic has been covered up by the DoD, was worthy of bringing to national attention.

Administration cheerleaders like to warn of the dire consequences of Congress meddling in the conduct of the Iraq war, to wit: "If Congress proceeds to throttle the president's strategy, then it will seriously undercut the ability of future presidents to do what they need to do to protect the nation in a time of war," said James Phillips, a foreign policy scholar at the Heritage Foundation. "It's a mistake to think you can effectively run a war by committee."
Thing is, it's being run by committee now. The committee is composed of people who have offices in the White House and Pentagon. For four years, with a compliant Congress, an open checkbook, and a pass from the MSM, the committee running the war has failed miserably. I don't think it's due to the fact that it's a committee, but who is on the committee. Time for a new committee.

While Dana Priest's story on the Walter Reed annex is a good story, what is surprising about it is that it got results. By constrast, Daniel Zwerdling's recent NPR series on the mistreatment of soldiers with PTSD in Colorado Springs apparently sank without a trace.

In re "The Invisible Enemy," here's another compelling, even more troubling story about wounded soldiers and medical complications that was first covered by The Baltimore Sun almost four months ago (see here). It just so happens that it was honored with a George Polk award for medical reporting on Tuesday. Even more notable (and sadly ironic) about this story is that only weeks after the Sun's [reporter Robert] Little produced this excellent piece of on-the-ground journalism, the paper's corporate fathers at the Tribune Company felt it necessary to close the Sun's three remaining foreign bureaus. According to their logic, I guess the public and, more importantly, the bottom line is best served by more wire service stories. Anyway, it's not as if our country is involved in a war (or two).

From the February 22 edition of The Note:
Dust-up in the desert: morning television:
Appearing this morning on "Good Morning America," ABC News' George Stephanopoulos -- the moderator of yesterday's forum -- said that "Barack Obama wants to appear above the fray but it did not work out that way yesterday. I think the Clinton camp hit back hard yesterday because they're getting very frustrated. They think Senator Obama has been getting a free pass from the media on the one hand going out running against negative politics, but in private they believe both his supporters and Senator Obama himself are being very critical of Clinton behind the scenes and they wanted to call him on it."
Stephanopoulos also added, "neither one won this round. Both campaigns want to pull back from this engagement. People like Senator John Edwards who were out of it did well."
He also gave an indication of who could capitalize on the current drama saying, "with this race getting so negative so early, it leaves an opening for someone like an Al Gore to come in very late when people are sour on all the candidates in the race."
NBC's "Today" characterized the Nevada forum as having "descended into trash talk," with the preview headline, "When Democrats Attack."
While appearing on NBC's "Today" show, former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., bemoaned the sparring that took place Wednesday between the Clinton and Obama camps over comments made by Obama supporter David Geffen to the New York Times' Maureen Dowd.
"I think it's awfully early for that sort of sniping back and forth," said Edwards, adding that he intends to run a "positive campaign."
More on the "Political Radar" from ABC News' Paul Fidalgo: LINK
Dust-up in the desert: winners and losers:
Slate's Dickerson says Clinton won. LINK
The New York Post's Podhoretz says the Republicans won. LINK
Newsweek's Fineman says that the Republicans and Edwards won, but he sucks up to Wolfson and Gibbs too. LINK
Dust-up in the desert: Geffen focused:
The New York Times' Patrick Healey and Jim Rutenberg write that yesterday's fighting between the Clinton and Obama camps "was a remarkably caustic exchange between the Clinton and Obama campaigns that highlighted the sensitivity in the Clinton camp to Mr. Obama's rapid rise as a rival and his positioning as a fresh face unburdened by the baggage borne by Mrs. Clinton&," LINK
"One adviser, who is not part of Mrs. Clinton's day-to-day inner circle but speaks to her regularly about politics and fund-raising, said Mr. Geffen's comments might not shock "political insiders" in Washington or New York who are used to hearing bad things about the Clintons. But such criticism, especially from a former Clinton supporter like Mr. Geffen, could surprise and concern average voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and in other politically important states where they are starting to form impressions of Mrs. Clinton as a presidential candidate."
"By pulling Obama into the controversy, Clinton aides hoped to take the shine off a candidacy that has sparked surprising excitement, not only in Hollywood but among many Democratic activists across the country," write the Los Angeles Times' Tina Daunt and Peter Wallsten. LINK
"Clinton, Obama Camps' Feud Is Out in the Open," reads the Washington Post headline on the front-page story by Dan Balz and Chris Cillizza. LINK
"The locale, with the snowy Sierra as a backdrop, was intended to steer the discussion toward regional issues, such as water and land use. But it was the war that dominated nearly two hours of talk by the Democratic hopefuls," writes the Los Angeles Times' Mark Barabak on the Democratic forum held yesterday. LINK
"The first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses may be 10 months away," writes ABC News' Jake Tapper, "but the bitter sniping . . . is indicative of just how competitive the race for the Democratic presidential nomination has become. LINK
"H'wood Clash of the Titans," glares the New York Post's page one story. LINK
In tomorrow's Time magazine, Karen Tumulty compares the Clinton-Obama snit to "All About Eve." LINK
"An email fusillade yesterday left many Democrats shaking their heads that party infighting -- like everything else about the 2008 presidential campaign -- is starting so soon, nearly a year before the first nominating votes, writes the Wall Street Journal's Jackie Calmes under the header "Clinton-Obama Rattles Party Faithful."
For the New York Times' "The Caucus," Jeff Zeleny blogs about Obama's "it's not clear to me why I should be apologizing for someone else's remarks. LINK
ABC News' Teddy Davis calls Sen. Clinton's denunciation of the "politics of personal destruction" a "throwback to the 1990s." LINK
The Chicago Tribune's Mike Dorning and Jill Zuckman call the Geffen spat "the first big food fight of the 2008 presidential election." LINK
Steven K. Paulson of the Associated Press reports that while kicking off his Colorado campaign today, Gov. Richardson said of the Obama-Clinton flap, "I believe it's best if Sen. Obama apologizes for the comments made by David Geffen. This is a small blip. It will be over soon." LINK
Jeff Jones of the Albuquerque Journal reports on Richardson's speech yesterday at the AFSCME forum where he called on all candidates to keep it clean. LINK
John Tabin of The American Spectator compared the Nevada presidential forum to "speed dating," and Noted that, "While Barack Obama skipped the forum, pleading a scheduling conflict, Obama's ghost seemed to dominate the event." LINK
"Behind the brawl between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is a fight over the black vote, a valuable piece of political turf both are counting on to carry them to the White House," writes New York Daily News columnist Errol Louis LINK
ABCNews.com has the video clip of George Stephanopoulos asking Sen. Clinton whether Obama should repudiate Geffen's comments. LINK

Barnard Griffin Fume Blanc 2009
Sauvignon Blanc from Columbia Valley, Washington
Winemaker's Notes
Delivers textbook Sauvignon Blanc aromas of pear and melon with a streak of mineral and herbs. Fresh and appley with a thread of pineapple and tangerine flavors. Racy acidity and an underlying minerality add balance and complexity to this satisfying white.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "This could be called the signature white for Barnard Griffin, for it always delivers astonishing flavor for the modest price. A small percentage of Sémillon is in the blend, but the sappy, spicy, penetrating herbaceousness of Sauvignon Blanc is showcased, not disguised. Done in a Sancerre-like style, under 13% alcohol, this is a gorgeous food wine, but you may just want to sip on it all by itself."
Barnard Griffin Winery
Barnard Griffin Winery was established in 1983 by Winemaker Rob Griffin and his wife, Deborah Barnard. Rob saw the opportunity to make great wine in Washington and moved north in 1977. Pleased with his move to Washington, he says "The northern latitude of Washington and the ideally drained sandy soils of the Columbia Valley make it possible to produce deeply concentrated wines of pronounced character."

About Columbia ValleyView a map of Columbia Valley wineries
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About WashingtonRelated Links:Now the number two producer in the United States, Washington State has also grown in quality.
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

By Morgan Wright The recent events in Mumbai have again demonstrated the importance of the uniformed law enforcement officer as the front line of defense against terrorism. Based on initial reports from the interrogation of the surviving terrorist (one of ten), there are several pieces of information that clearly show how the terrorists engaged in classic actions consistent with the terrorist planning cycle. While there is no universal method for terrorists to plan, to achieve their objectives certain activities and actions have to take place. Over time, many models have been developed. They generally have these steps in common: 1. Broad Target Selection 2. Intelligence and Surveillance 3. Specific Target Selection 4. Pre-attack Surveillance and Planning 5. Attack Rehearsal 6. Actions on Objective 7. Escape and Evasion Uniformed LEO's – the tip of the spear – can have an impact in at least six of the seven stages. In the video blog that accompanies this post, I go into more detail about where you - the LEO - can make a difference and help prevent the next attack. Be sure to click and watch the video below for much more on how patrol officers can watch for and respond to elements of the terrorist planning cycle.

Thank Mew to HQ & All my friends for all your gifties & love in winning the Pirate Page Contest!
Morgan was furry proud of me since he has been training me very hard to be his first mate!
Please furgive my human typest for not thanking everyone purrsonaly - it has been a little overwhelming for her lately.
Morgie's 4th Birthday, me winning a contest, and the sad loss of our older brother Maximum Katzenfergnugen.
We all miss Maxie furry much - he was a good older brother, even when he was grouchy. I tried my best to be nice, and even snuggled up with him to keep him warm. We will meet him again at the Rainbow Bridge. He has furry cool new wings now, and is teaching Bling to the Angels.
On another note - I have a new and furry special Lady friend.
She is a Cougar - how cool is that?
Lots of Love
Yesterday we got a big big box from the Man with the Brown Truck. Usually that means fabric or something else for the humans - but this time it was for US!!!!!!!!!
Mom came home from work and opened the box and told us it as our very own Mouse Pond. She promised we would get it this morning.
So furry early this morning after she had her much needed coffee, she started putting together our Mouse Pond. I of course had to help by sticking my big butt under her chin, tickling her nose with my tail, and then grabbing the plastic bags and running away.
The Mouse Pond is really a Drinkwell 360 Pet Fountain, and it comes with lots of different fountains.
First Up - 4 water fountains. I went round and round, wacking each fountain and soaking the floor really good.
Mom dried the floor, and tried the 3 fountain nozzle. I went round and round, stuck my paws under each one, put my paws in the bowl and soaked the floor.
Mom dried the floor, and then put on the 2 fountain nozzle. I went back and forth, wacked the fountains, stuck my paws in the bowl, and soaked the floor.
Mom dried the floor, put a huge towel underneath the bowl, and put on the single fountain nozzle.
I tap the water with my paw, and drink it as it comes down to the bowl. It's really cold and yummy!
Amigo, Morgan and Apache all like the fresh water!
The doggys were nervous at first - but now they like it too!
Now why is this called the Mouse Pond? Because as soon as I gather up all my brightly colored mousies from under all the furniture, they all be swimming in this furry cool new pond!
Nothing better than swimming cold mice dropped on a humans lap to make them smile!
I have been tagged by my good friend Freddie in the Ice Cream Game.
He is mint chocolate chip, because he is so dark and cool - I have to agree with him!
I am Pineapple Coconut - 'cause I am yummy like Pineapple and I am nuttier than a Coconut!
Mom says I am the snuggliest silliest cat ever! I make her and Daddy giggle every day!
Especially when Morgan pins me and I scream bloody murder. All I have to do is stand up, and Morgan is toast - but I bow to the Pirate Gato!
Purrin for all our special friends to GET WELL! Fela Kitty, Hooch & Tyler

I've had several sets and love them.
I prefer the VZ 320s, they didn't "dig in" as much as my Gatorbacks, and I also have a set on my Hi Power that I really like.
I kept the 320s on my Baer until I got some red/black G10 Hornded Lizard Monkey Grips for it...I think I need to put my VZ 320s on my Springer.
I've been wanting some of the VZ G10 Operators, but that's going to have to wait a while I think.
I'll post some pics shortly.
Here were my black/gray VZ 320s on my Kimber PRO, the only thing I didn't like about them was that they looked like crap when they got damp from sweat or oil deposits.
Here's my Springer w/ black paper micarta standard thickness gatorbacks.
Here's Lima's Kimber wearing the slim gatorbacks. **Note that there's no grip material over the plunger tube**
Here's my black paper 320s on my Baer.
Here's my ball cut VZ Hi Power grips.
Ok, last one...I think

In any case, the question is probably academic for most AdSense publishers, because so far there doesn't seem to be an overwhelming demand for image ads. I expect we'll see more if and when Google succeeds in marketing AdSense to large mainstream corporate advertisers and ad agencies.
I expect that text ads perform better, because they canbe better integrated into the content and aren't highlighted that much as advertisement as Image-Ads are. Regular image ads normally suffer from banner-blindness, too.
Due to the better matching I expect that Image-Ads on Google perform better than Image-Ads from any other regular advertising network.

Maurice Clarett Shares Testimony
Former Ohio State football star running back Maurice Clarett was in Chillicothe to share his story at the Where Waz Eye open forum at Lifting Up Jesus Church, Thursday evening.
Clarett said that he was only 8 years old when he first smoked marijuana and consumed alcohol and was put in a juvenile detention center multiple times when he was a minor. After moving into an environment that allowed him to focus on his athletics, Clarett said he was a three-sport athlete who graduated with a 3.5 high school GPA.
"Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future," said Clarett. "You'd be surprised, even from a positive or negative standpoint, the people that you surround yourself with, they play a huge roll in your development."
In 2002, he helped lead the Ohio State Buckeyes to a national football title, but, in the background, he reverted to living a troubled life that included night clubs, drugs, alcohol, and crime.
"When I was on the football field, I portrayed a certain image that I was here for Ohio State," said Clarett, "but, when I was off the football field, I'm into the streets and into the drinking and drugging, so when football's taken out of the equation, what becomes dominate? The street life and those things."
Clarett's college football career was cut short after he was dismissed from the OhioState football team following an investigation regarding a number of infractions.
He said the problems continued into 2005 when he was drafted by the Denver Broncos. While also suffering from depression, the drugs and alcohol, he said, impacted him physically to where he wasn't able to perform at his full potential. Eventually, he was cut from the team, which was a first for him.
Clarett additionally discussed his 2006 arrest in Columbus in which authorities attempted to stop him after he made a U-turn. He said he fled as he had an AK-47 in the front seat of his vehicle and shared the sense of relief he felt once he was arrested and couldn't harm himself anymore.
Clarett said he went on a "mental journey" when he was incarcerated, and that he developed a passion for learning about things, such as economics. Through reading, he learned, and, through learning, he developed confidence.
Once his sentence was completed, he said he enrolled back into college, had a chance to play football in Omaha, Nebraska, and gave his life to God. Now, he has a fiancée, a daughter, and a number of projects he is involved with that are aimed at helping youth.
"I'm using my experiences from my past to assist others," said Clarett.
Also at the forum to share her story was Pike County resident Audri Beers. She is a recovering heroin addict and said injecting drugs into body led to a bacterial infection that spread to her heart and required her to undergo open-heart surgery and receive a pacemaker.
"Before, I didn't care about anything," said Beers, "and, now, I care about everything, and I have to be very careful with my health."
Both Clarett and Beers said they wanted to share their stories as a warning to others.
And Clarett's message of advice?
"It's simple: get up, go to work, go to the gym, pay your bills, be responsible, stay away from drugs."

Coolant leak
It seems there is a coolant leak from the expansion tank. I'm not sure where exactly though. If I top it off, the tank will be empty in 2 - 3 days, but I don't see traces of a massive leak. The hoses look OK to me, so I'm thinking a crack in the tank that leaks under pressure.
Has anyone dealt with a similar problem? Should I replace #3 in the diagram as well? http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...41&hg=17&fg=05
if you have not done a cooling overhaul, consider the leak as a warning and do it now. Tstat, WP, Hoses, Tank all that.
When I got my car I had those issues it was due to the radiator nd fan clutch being changed and not also replacing the expansion tank.... U may wanna look at your expansion tank and its portholes. Hope you don't have a major headache pending. Good Luck
you may also want to check the side of your radiator that faces your expansion tank. I had the same symptoms, and my problem was a hairline crack in my radiator. It only leaked under pressure
Due to the many common problems with the cooling systems on these cars you should give it a real close inspection. Yes you see leaks in the expansion tank as well as radiators and waterpumps. If you have a way I would pressure check the system to pinpiont what is leaking.
I replaced the pump & tstat about ... well, I guess about 50 000 miles ago. The hoses look good. Maybe I'll try adding some of that glow liquid to the coolant. I sure hope it's not the radiator.
See also:
- Pictorial look at typical E39 cooling system failure modes (1)
The original Behr radiator is around $300 and might not be the problem. I've seen cooling overhaul kits including an aftermarket radiator for about the same price, but I don't really want to replace stuff that does not replacing. I'm considering replacing the pump again as it's a well known failure point, but my upper radiator hoses are nice and soft, the t-stat is new, the lower hoses look OK ... Just need to find the damn leak :confused:
Removing the fan is not a problem. I've done it a few times and i can now take it off in 10 minutes flat, along with all air intake crap.
Also check the aux temp switch sensor on the lower radiator hose. That can be a slow leaker that shuts up when cold. That was actually the first to leak on my car, around 80k miles. The expansion tank started leaking about 10k miles after that for me.
Good luck!
What I do is to whack the wrench with a hammer. That's about enough to "break" the nut. If that does not work, use a long screwdriver to prevent the belt from slipping.
If not, check for coolant from the exhaust pipe. Then maybe if not this, what does your oil looks like? Chances are the leak may be internal.
I found it. I poped the hood and looked carefully - I noticed white spots on splash shield on the driver side. The passenger side was dry, so I took off the air ducks and the filter box. I didn't notice anything at first, but then I noticed it. It's right behind where the two houses connect to the tank. There was a bit of coolant right on top of where the hose is connecting to the tank. Very sneaky and hard to see. I guess the tank is leaking a bit under pressure.
Where does your regulation level wiring harness goes to. Sounds as an electrical problem. I'm guessing some of your coolant in your coolant reservoir goes somewhere around your engine your car system it's a bit complex. Since the level wiring harness it s spliced somewhere. I don't know if your're aware about your coolant lines going directly to the automatic transmission.
It's not electrical. I check the float in the expansion tank and it's completely dry. I also noticed coolant on the side of the tank, where the hose plugs in.
Which tank is the one you're mentioning.
Expansion tank leak
I had a small puddle everyday after work right under the expansion tank so I bought a new tank from ECS Tuning for around $50 and part #3 in the diagram. When my mechanic got in there though it was actually the mounting plate #1 where the tank sets in was cracked so I needed to get #1 for $185 or so from the BMW dealer due to time constraints.
All is well now. :)

Benjamin Sebena, accused of killing his wife, Wauwatosa Police Officer Jennifer Sebena, while she was on duty on Christmas Eve morning, entered a plea of not guilty at his arraignment Thursday.
Benjamin Sebena was wheeled into the courtroom, his feet and hands bound, his upper arms strapped to the wheelchair. He wore a sleeveless suicide prevention garment with velcro closures.
Defense attorney Michael Steinle said discovery materials from the prosecutor had just been handed to him Thursday morning, and he requested time to review them. Prosecutor Mark Williams said the materials were delayed as he had to work with multiple jurisdictions and the crime lab.
Judge David Borowski accepted Steinle's request and a court date for further proceeding was set for March 1, at 1:30 p.m.
The proceeding lasted just a few minutes.

Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Asif's 'B' sample has tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone, leaving him facing a two-year ban, his lawyer said Tuesday.
The 25-year-old tested positive during the Indian Premier League competition held between April and June, and the Pakistan Cricket Board suspended him in July on the basis of his first sample.
"We have just completed the test on Asif's B sample and it has come back positive," his lawyer Shahid Karim told AFP by telephone from Switzerland.
"But I can tell you that the quantity of nandrolone has varied, which we can contest."
Asif tested positive for nandrolone in 2006 along with fellow paceman Shoaib Akhtar. He was banned for one year and Akhtar for two, but the bans were overturned on appeal.
Asif also faces a possible ban or fine from the Pakistan Cricket Board after he was detained in Dubai, while returning from the IPL, on charges of possessing an illegal drug.
He was held for 19 days before police deported him.

12 thoughts on "Detail from The Temptation of St. Anthony — Hieronymus Bosch"
Reblogged this on Art and Culture.
You are a wise man, biblioklept. Are you also prescient? Or is it all just my imagination?
This has all the hall marks of an LSD trip, and I don't say that to demean the artwork it just has little lucid driftings that remind me of what is like to be on LSD.
I read somewhere that Hieronymus could of possibly had ergotamine poisoning from the rye. Or were his visions just that vivid?
St. Anthony practiced the many millennia aged tradition of ascetic monasticism and most likely came by his illusions naturally. Wikipedia has a good recounting of his spiritual life. This practice is alive today in the American native tradition of a boy entering the wilderness, enduring hardships and delusions, meeting his doppelganger and guardian spirit, and returning to the tribe as a man. The monastic tradition is a lifelong process for successful practitioners. Milarepa the Tibetan saint lived in a cave throughout the Himalayan winter while consuming less than a bowlful of grains. One time, when he was returning to his cave, he encountered a giant nine-headed scorpion. Realizing that this was a component of his self, he conquered it by paying obeisance to it and welcoming it in the name of the Buddha, which demon responded by becoming a Buddhist. Only fragmentary records of the experiences of the two saints survive. In the same way that iconic paintings can be considered as windows looking into paradise, LSD experiences can be regarded as gateways out of Babel and markers on the path towards reality. The purpose of this self-seeking is not to pursue a bigger and better mirror, but to become a vessel of the divine spirit of love, and by doing so becoming of use to humanity. From 'Praying With the Desert Mothers', and account of nuns living in the wilderness, "O God of hiddenness and of the anawim, it is not easy for us to be unobtrusive and unassuming, as manifestations of your inner glory within us. This day teach us the meaning of living that draws attention to your goodness and grace, rather than our own pursuit of a reputation built solely on what others think of us. In whatever ways we need to grow in a self-love that is a reflection of your own loving of us, send us your grace to be fully the images and likenesses of your presence." …
As the discussion is taking in a little diversion, perhaps in Gnostic directions? Would you consider, O Learned RK that the Nag Hammadi scrolls is to Razzle what The Holy Bible is to Men Only. Both marvelous publications from the Eighties hey-day of Paul Raymond Publications.
And dear old St Anthony hands in supplication whilst sailing toward a proffered backside. Heaven for some, indeed.
I said publications twice. Oops, three times. Duh.
Thank you for responding intelligently to my perusing. I am not sure what you mean by Gnostic directions? Are the Nag Hammadi scrolls also called the Gnostic Scriptures? Whatever they may be I am not familiar with them. Read the Gnostics (?) many years ago. I do not remember any of it. What is 'to Razzle what the Holy Bible is to Men Only'? My curiosity is further piqued. I didn't mean to diverge from the blog page, but felt that art criticism was best left to people who are interested in such exercises. I am also not informed of the specific symbolism of the demons depicted. I also wanted to, as the Buddha would say, 'stir up the dust and trample the insects' by commenting on the similarities of Saints who see the light, so to speak, such as St. Anthony and Milarepa. And read any responses. Trying to guide the conversation into what the visions mean rather than the 'special effects' of the hallucinations, as Ram Das' guru said about LSD after he dropped a few hits of acid. St. Anthony's life inspired many works of art, including a play by Flaubert. Much the same fascination as inspired in our pre-Apocalytptic world by tragic Van Gogh or sadly, Marilyn M. I would like to know what you are saying. Meanwhile, I'll google and search YouTube for Nag Hammadi, Razzle, Men Only, Paul Raymond. I found some interesting takes on St. Anthony on YouTube besides the usual religious ones.
Ref " Meanwhile, I'll google and search YouTube for Nag Hammadi, Razzle, Men Only, Paul Raymond. I found some interesting takes on St. Anthony on YouTube besides the usual religious ones."
I guess you don't know how funny the above section is. Please forgive my schoolboy humour.
My interest was piqued by your mention of ascetic monasticism, and it got me thinking about the Essenes and their sacred ecstasies or passion, a result of a lifestyle of deprivation and mortification in search of a holy knowledge or transfiguration.
The Nag Hammadi scrolls are the apocryphal and discarded books of the Bible. Eye-opening stuff.
To go on with this. I try to amuse, but often can only pop the punchline by distortion. I googled the Essenes wiki and then recalled having read about the tradition and some of the scripts 30 (?) years ago. I think that they were repressed and excluded from the 'official' biblical literature because having a personal savior does not require the experience to go through a central editing authority. Much the same way that Muslim officialdom represses the ecstatic traditions of their religion. Yes, the Dag Hammadi information was eye opening in the same manner that reading 'The 10,000 Songs of Milarepa' or 'Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism' was when I came across them. What I was referring to was the lifestyles of St. Anthony (and Milarepa) that created the devils throwing stones in their paths on the journey to realization, and the subsequent stories inspiring the art originally under discussion. St. Anthony was the inspiration of the Medieval mind in very direct ways. It seems that things manifest and things of the spirit could easily cross the boundaries between reality and fantasy in the Dark and Middle Ages minds. St. Anthony's fire was the name given to ergotamine poisoning. Praying to him could subdue it. I do not think that considering Brueghel stoned detracts from his art. Where would music be without high musicians? Even the church organist must take a few nips now and then to succumb to the keys. It is possible that Brueghel was influenced by ergotamine poisoning, but his work was so prolific that he probably would have died from it over an extended period of time. There are also Amanitas depicted in some of his paintings. Much of his work seems to be an opium dream to me. More than taffeta came along the Silk Road. His art strikes many as being remarkably modern. And what I have heard expressed often is how could some one from way back then have the mind he had. Brueghel's life and circumstances were not well recorded so that there is not much known about him. So very much knowledge of the past is lost because of the continual filtering by the propriety and religious correctness mindsets. The great cultural and metaphysical civilizations of the Americas were simply burned and the knowledgeable exterminated. This is a planet of war and of death, which is why I try to party as much and as often as possible. Taking it all too seriously is pointless because when you die this life's relevance becomes immaterial if one knows how to free the mind when liberated from the physical plane. Which is why most religions conceive of God as love. The Grateful Dead to me are Brueghelian musicians….'there is a fountain not made by man…'
Reblogged this on prior probability and commented:
prior probability is reblogging this detail from "The Temptation of St. Anthony" to remind ourselves about the importance of imagination and that literature and the arts have more to say about the human condition than science does
Which is why I prefer porno in 3-D to express the human condition, especially the Dialectic.

Capitol Alert: 'Open carry' ban wins approval in California Senate
Printable View
I did not know about it, but it does not surprise me at all.
Well, if I was to walk into a fast food establishment and a nut came in and started shooting patrons, I'd be very happy to find several people who either were OC or CC to put him down before he got to me. But in California, they prefer to just die.
Reason number 20 for me not to return to my roots. Its really a shame even though I'm not interested in open carry. The conceal carry permit for California is what I would like but the chances of getting one is tough. Oh well, Arizona works for me.
Nope...nothing surprising here. Doesn't sound like they are losing much, the "right" to carry an unloaded gun.
CHOICE = unloaded gun vs. no gun Hmmmmm..... :confused:
"Komrad...vee MUST eliminate the zee firearms from zee hands of the proletariat and keep zem ONLY in zee hands of the State!"
"Ya Komrad!...vee MUST!"
"Skol Komrad!"
"Ya! Skol!"
Well, I'm 60 years old and never lost anything in CA. Can't see a reason for going there period.
On a side note, I wonder what they would do if all the OC crowd started carrying a claw hammer in they belt now. Never mind, they'd just outlaw that too.
There are places where common sense isn't common enough to prevail.
California, Illinois, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, all you can do is shake your head,
and do your best not to spend any money in those places, or do business with companies in those states.
It appears they have been surrendered to the "Antis". IMO :yup:
reason #355 not to set foot in CA...
Were gonna have to extend the Border wall from Arizona up to the Utah border
It's California, the land of Fruits, Nuts, Flakes and weepy eyed liberals. And really, if we didn't have that bunch, we "Zonies" would have nothing to poke fun at.
I was born in CA. Got the heck out when I was 3 months old - dang I was smart. :image035:
The bill was approved 21-18, with three Democrats joining Republicans in opposing the measure. This is no landslide, and the trend is positive with eventual victory for 2A. For one thing, the gun grabbers are painting themselves into a corner.
Briefly, you may recall that last December, a U.S. District Court:
Peruta v. San Diego seeks to overturn and is getting a lot of traction with Amici briefs from the likes of the Center of Constitutional Jurisprudence (CCJ), Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership, and the Law Enforcement Alliance of America, represented by constitutional law scholar and former Dean & Henry Salvatori Professor of Law & Community Service at Chapman University, School of Law, Dr. John Eastman. The brief refers to Heller and its acknowledgement of the right to bear.Quote:
upheld San Diego Sheriff William Gore's restrictive and unfair policies in issuing permits to carry concealed firearms.... The District Court held that people do not need a CCW to "bear arms"-at least not loaded arms-for self-defense purposes. The court found that, "as a practical matter," California allows you to carry an unloaded handgun openly in a holster (Penal Code Section 12025(f)) and, if attacked, you can simply load it to defend yourself (Cal. Pen. Code section 12031(j)).
The kind of hodgepodge that is California's scorn for 2A can not stand.Quote:
Renowned civil rights activist and attorney Don B. Kates filed an amicus brief on behalf of Gun Owners of California and Senator H. L. Richardson, discussing the history of California's firearms laws regulating concealed and loaded carry, and how its leaving lawful the open carry of unloaded firearms was a loophole, never intended as a means of self-defense carry as the lower court concluded. It also addresses the trend of liberal CCW issuance from a criminological perspective.
Alan Gura authored an amicus brief generally in support of Plaintiffs on behalf of the Second Amendment Foundation, Calguns Foundation and two individuals weighing in with their view of the proper standard of review in this case....
As the legal briefs filed on appeal point out, and as the ILEETA videos clearly show, there is nothing "practical" about the court's finding. In addition to the various legal restrictions on openly carrying an unloaded firearm, which require one to be in "immediate and grave danger" before a gun can be loaded, the time needed to load it makes it useless in a self-defense emergency. In short, unloaded open carry does not allow for effective self-defense, nor is it an effective way to exercise your fundamental right to be ready and able to defend yourself under the Second Amendment. Plaintiffs are asking the Ninth Circuit to overrule the district court's decision.(

text: Would like your thoughts regarding Bible versions and Male Dominance. It seems very clear that the Bible was written within a culture of Male Dominated societies. And up until the last several decades Western society has also been largely male dominated. Yet that has begun to vastly change, especially in the last few decades. My question is: How closely should Bible versions stick to male dominant language, masculine nouns and pronouns, in modern Bible versions? Or should they drop such language altogether?

Do schools (and universities) kill creativity?
Most of you will be familiar with TED (www.ted.com). It has been there in the back of my mind for some time, but I haven't found the time to watch much of its extensive material. This video sees "creativity expert" Sir Ken Robinson talk about the role of education in suppressing or nurturing innate creativity. I found it entertaining and thought-provoking. His focus is at younger ages, but I would argue that much of his commentary is applicable to universities too and that it is increasingly unacceptable for them to simply accept that the damage has already been done. What do you think?

Dallas Mavericks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Game 1 2012 NBA Playoff Odds
The Dallas Mavericks official defense of their NBA title begins tonight when they meet the second seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of a best of seven series. This evening's meeting between the Mavs and Thunder, last year's Western Conference Finals participants, is scheduled to get underway at 9:30pm ET at the Chesapeake Energy Arena; it will be broadcast live on ESPN. NBA Point Spreads have the Thunder listed as a -7.5 against the spread home favorite and the Over/Under set at 193.5 points.
Dallas looked like anything but a defending champion most of this season, putting together a 36-30 record which proved just good enough to earn it the seventh seed in the Western Conference Playoffs. Even with their postseason hopes in peril the Mavericks played poorly down the stretch, losing six of their of the final 11 regular season games.
Can Dallas find itself now that the playoffs are finally here? It seems rather improbable that a team which displayed little consistency all season long would suddenly develop a some against the league's best competition.
Sure, the Mavericks mowed through the Thunder in last year's Western Conference Finals, beating them 4-1, but they seem ill prepared to repeat that feat. Dallas is 1-4 in its last five regular season meetings with Oklahoma City and its 13-20 road record would suggest it is not capable of making a strong postseason run, not as a seven seed anyway.
The Thunder, who finished 47-19, have not exactly inspired a great deal of confidence lately either. Oklahoma City looked outstanding in December, January, and February, but it began to waver some once March rolled around. Kevin Durant and his cohorts posted a 6-5 record from March 1st through March 20th before closing out the month on a five game win streak. April brought even more inconsistency, though, as the Thunder went 8-7 in their final 15 games, a development which saw them lose their top seed to the Spurs.
Do either of these teams have the heart of a champion? Tonight's series opener may provide a glimpse of the truth, and, depending on one's perspective, the slight revelation may be either good or bad.
NBA Point Spreads Betting Trend: The Thunder are 9-1 straight up and 8-2 against the spread in their last 10 games as a home favorite with a spread between 4 and 7.5 points and total between 190 and 195.

There has been another Hall-of-Fame Twins player that has been in the headlines over the last week. Harmon Killebrew, who could be argued as the greatest Twins player, has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. This battle is going to be a struggle for the former slugger but with the team of doctors that he has he "anticipates a full recovery."
|Killebrew, Morneau, and Kubel at
2006 Spring Training
The first time that I encountered Mr. Killebrew I was a young college student that was attending my first Twins Fest. A good friend of mine, Dustin Dimmler, and I were excited to be able to collect as many autographs as we could at this gathering of Twins players. We were surprised at how short the line was for a player of Killebrew's stature. We were able to move through the line with incredible ease.

In 2006, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Twins Spring Training in Ft. Myers, Florida. Killebrew was also in attendance and on the field with his old #3 on. It was great to get to Harmon on the field interacting with the players and coaches. He would stand next to the batting cage and give advice to anyone that would hear it. And who wouldn't want to take advice from one of the greatest sluggers in the history of the game?

It has been sad to hear about the heath concerns that are now plaguing Killebrew's later years. I am thankful for the few interactions that I have had with him over the years. I look forward to even more interactions in the future.
Get well, Harmon.

Well, after a couple of days of work I have managed to re-design my stats website which to be honest, was pretty much non-existant and/or non-usable before this update. I have put the power rankings, player rankings, and adjusted hits/giveaways/takeaways, and player on ice/off ice and with/without teammate and against/not against opponent data on that website. In a few days I will migrate much of that off of this blog site and move it there where it will be easier to update which means far more frequent updates.
For the regulars to this website, please head over there and take a look at the new redesigned user interface and let me know what you think of the new look? Do you like it? Anything you want to see changed/improved? I ask because my plan is to use an almost identical look and feel here on my blog. I think by moving much of the stats over there and also using a cleaner page design the page will look significantly less cluttered. Eventually i hope to re-design PredictHockey.com in a similar way but before I go ahead and put in all that effort feedback from you would be greatly appreciated. I am almost ready to roll out this new design on this blog so if the feedback is positive I may change it over in the next day or two.

Welcome to another Tip Tuesday!
This week, let's go back to Walt Disney World to discuss one of my favorite non-park activities - mini golf. It's a fun activity that isn't all that expensive. As of this post, a round costs around $14 for adults and $10 for kids under 10. Annual passholders often get huge discounts (as much as 50% off).
I've written previously about Winter Summerland, the other mini golf area at Walt Disney World, located next to Blizzard Beach.
Fantasia Gardens, however, is quite different in many ways from Winter Summerland. First, this activity is within easy walking distance of any of the Epcot area deluxe resorts (Boardwalk, Beach/Yacht Club, Dolphin or Swan) so getting there is pretty easy - at least for these guests - just follow the blue line as noted in the map above. For guests from other resorts, it get a bit more cumbersome without your own transportation. Fantasia Gardens is located next to the Swan Resort. The best way to get to Fantasia Gardens from any non-Epcot area resort via Disney transportation is to take a bus to any park or the Ticket & Transportation Center and then take a bus to the Swan. Alternatively, guests can travel to Disney's Hollywood Studios and then take the Friendship Boat to the Swan and then walk past the pool area to reach Fantasia Gardens.
Like Winter Summerland, Fantasia Gardens has two 18-hole courses, the Fantasia Gardens course or the Fairways course. The Fantasia Gardens course is similar to the two courses at Winter Summerland in that each hole has whimsical obstacles to overcome, often involving water or some other challenge. This course is especially fun for kids as they have to deal with all sorts of mishaps related to the movie Fantasia. Some of these holes can be pretty tricky and it takes a keen eye and often more than a bit of courage and timing to make the right stroke.

The other course, the Fairways course, is a completely different "ball game" (sorry for the pun, couldn't resist!). This course is not your typical mini golf course with dips and tunnels and obstacles. Instead, as the name implies, this course is a putting version of a real golf course, complete with sand traps and other hazards. There are plenty of undulations to overcome and some holes are longer than others.
Personally, of these two courses, I prefer the Fairways course. It is a true putting challenge for golfers. While the Fantasia Gardens course is fun, there is much more skill and finesse required for the Fairways course. For that reason, I wouldn't recommend the Fairways course for young children. They'll just get frustrated and upset because of the higher degree of difficulty.
One other consideration - when to go. If you're visiting Walt Disney World in the warmer months, I recommend waiting until evening to visit Fantasia Gardens as it can be uncomfortable in the heat of the day. During the cooler months, it's not so bad. If you play these courses at night, and if your timing is right, you can catch some elements of Illuminations and Fantasmic in the distance.
So the next time you're at WDW and are looking for something to do outside the parks -- check out Fantasia Gardens and maybe even take the challenge and play the Fairways course!
Good luck!

Alaskan homes showing their age
When it comes to housing, Alaska stacks up a little differently than the Lower 48.
The Alaska Housing Finance Corporation recently released a report that looks at existing housing across the state and compares it to the rest of the country. According to the report, homes in Alaska use nearly twice as much energy per year as homes in other northern states. They tend to be smaller and much less energy efficient. The smaller size also lends itself to another statistic; Alaskan homes are overcrowded — more than twice the national average.
"In 2009, which is when we did the last housing assessment, there were roughly 10,000 homes that were considered overcrowded in Alaska," said AHFC's Jimmy Ord. "Today we stand at 15,000 homes in Alaska that are overcrowded."
Ord estimates there are nearly 90,000 homes in the state that have issues which require updates to make them more livable or energy efficient. Most homes in the state were built during the pipeline boom of the 1970s and '80s, he said, and many are showing their age.
Nearly one in three Alaskan households may also spending too much on their housing costs, the report says. If you're spending 30 percent or more of your household income on housing costs — whether it's rent and utilities or a mortgage and property taxes — you could be putting yourself at risk for affording basic things like food and medical care.

Special awards 3 and 4 will not be given if the judges feel that no entry meets the criteria.
Contest Judging Criteria
The OEC judges use the following scoring weights.
A. [0-20 pts] General Appearance. Is item restored, cleaned, and generally presentable, or just "as-found"?
B. [0-10 pts] Item Rarity. Not as important as authenticity, but it counts for the item to be relatively hard to find.
C. [0-20 pts] Authenticity. How much of the item is demonstrably authentic and not modified? Documentation may be crucial.
D. [0-20 pts] Documentation. Ads, journal articles, books, schematics, news clips, description of historical significance of the item all help.
E. [0-20 pts] Entrant Effort. How much was done by entrant, based on item appearance and documentation.
F. [0-10 pts] Qualitative Bonus. The bonus is based on judges' judgment and experience.
Refinements to these rules and/or the schedule, if required, may be issued well in advance of RadioActivity 2017.

Engine stumble / cough on cold start up
Every morning my X5 starts like ****. At least.. 9 months of the year. Only during the warmest summer months does she not do this.
I turn the key long enough to fully turn the motor over (just like the manual encourages you to do). Yet, every time... the motor stumbles (barely fires) and then coughs (small back fire sound coming from the engine bay). No back fire at the tail pipes. "ruckka tuckka".. almost stalls.. "cough (then a small bang / ca-chunk sound)". Then rough idle for 5 seconds. Then all is fine.
My dealership's mechanic is really good. He almost never gets stumped on a problem. But, they say they cannot reproduce the problem. They've kept the car over night on two occassions. Nadda. No engine error codes either.
My driveway is on a slight down hill. Could this contribute to it? But I've parked her nose first (slight up hill then) and she still does it.
This can't possibly be good for my engine. She sounds terrible. I've resorted to giving it a little gas at start up. If I just baaaaaarely give it a tiny bit, she starts beautifully. The danger is though, that you give it too much. Then the engine starts with a .. VAROOOOM, which isn't good for the engine. Darned electronic throttle makes it really hard to get it just right. Teaching my wife how to do this... not really fair to her. Mechanic says NOT to start it this way. What choice do I have tho ! ?
Anybody else getting this?
Cam sensor? Some start up idle circuit set too low? Any insights appreciated. Thanks guys.
ignition coil?
Did you get it fixed ????
Maybe dirty fuel injectors or fuel filter. You say when you give it a tiny bit of gas it starts beautifully, so I'm thinking it's a fuel problem or like neuro said ign. coils, maybe spark plugs too. Try running some good fuel injector cleaner in there.
vanos issue, common.....stuck exhaust deal in the vanos. Mine does it.

Upon learning a young girl in Tricia Dower's debut novel Stony River was kept imprisoned with her son, readers might be expecting the story to resemble Emma Donoghue's Room. They shouldn't be disappointed when it doesn't.
In taking the girl and her son out of captivity, Dower shines a light on the late 1950s – a time often romanticized by the golden mists of nostalgia – deftly exposing the darker realities of growing up in a small town during an era when nothing was as it seemed. A time when gossip was just dandy, but a good neighbour minded his or her own business and didn't get involved. As one character writes in a school essay, "Stony River is the ground asleep under the snow, its secrets imperceptible from behind a thick pane of glass."
If anything, British Columbia-based Dower's depiction of postwar family and small-town dysfunction in New Jersey is reminiscent of Ann-Marie MacDonald's The Way the Crow Flies. As in that book, pivotal events in Stony River were inspired by a true crime, as detailed in Dower's author's note. In Stony River, however, the true crime is not the inciting event for the novel, but comes later. Dower is expanding on her short story Not Meant to Know, from her collection Silent Girl, in which 12-year-old Linda Wise and 13-year-old Tereza Dobra witness the police leading a girl around their age from Crazy Haggerty's house. She is holding a baby. Until that moment, everyone in Stony River, N.J., thought the hermit lived alone. The girl is Miranda Haggerty and we learn she has spent almost her entire life locked away from the world.
In Stony River, Dower uses the next seven years of these three girls' lives to frame her narrative, and is able to weave a considerable number of elements into this ambitious first novel, while rooting it firmly in these realistically depicted characters.
Miranda has led an entirely sheltered life until the police show up at Crazy Haggerty's house after he dies on the train to New York. She tells the police that James Haggerty was her father, but will not say who fathered her own one-year-old son, Cian. Throughout the novel, she is guided by James's voice in her head.
"Our way of knowing isn't wrong … but others fear it and therein lies the danger for us."
After Miranda and Cian end up in a Catholic orphanage run by nuns, she is forced to examine James's religious teachings and his actions, as she struggles with her own spiritual path.
Dower is gifted in keeping the various voices distinct, and Miranda's tendency to filter everything through the books she read while in James's home – "those whose worlds she naively once believed existed outside their pages" – is especially compelling.
Although she may not be book smart, Tereza has street smarts. Shortly after seeing Miranda leave the Haggerty house, Tereza flees her own home and her abusive stepfather. She knows it's "best not to waste your hope on things like guardian angels, Saint Bernards and nosy neighbours." Before she leaves town, she hides out in the Haggerty house and takes something that will change the course of her life.
Comparatively, Linda has the most traditional family life. "Tereza hadn't spotted a single scab or bruise on those rubber doll arms and legs, but maybe Linda's old man and lady weren't as harmless as they looked." Though Linda doesn't suffer in the same ways that Miranda and Tereza do, she grapples with her mother's strange mood swings and disappointment in her father. And Linda knows firsthand that most threats aren't found at home – a growing concern given the murdered and missing girls around Stony River.
With a less skilled hand, the interweaving story lines and multitude of issues tackled in these pages could have been overwhelming, but Dower artfully layers them throughout. Stony River is a powerful coming-of-age novel, which meticulously evokes time and place, and tackles moral dilemmas, religious dogma, spirituality, sexuality, depression, incest and abuse. It's rare to find such a polished debut and Dower is a masterful storyteller to watch.

Hey Guys,
Hope everyones doing great!
Looking into learning ActionScript 3. Have a fair bit of experience creating basic timeline animated banners in Flash and I would like to expand on that, maybe even try creating a couple applications.
My plan so far is to buy a few Lynda ActionScript 3 CBTs and just hammering away at it for a few days to get the basics down before I do that, I thought I'd pop over to this forum and see whether any of you guys/gals have any advice for a AS3 noob?
I have a fair bit of experience coding PHP OO , JS, etc. Hopefully that will help me out a little.
Anyways, any advice is much appreciated. Cheers! - PixelPopper
If you have experience with those other languages then really you should know enough to be fairly comfortable with ActionScript. AS is based on the same standard as JavaScript so you should feel at home with the syntax. What you need to learn next is the API and the framework as a whole. Definitely read the Adobe help files for an introduction to ActionScript. It is highly useful to read it even if you don't absorb all of it the first time. Then head over to ActiveTuts and take a look at some tutorials for a start on some small projects.

Marzipan has always been a very popular sweet in the Christmas time in Germany, and especially marzipan from Lubeck is known as the finest and best. Now Lubeck is in West Germany, and before the fall of the German wall in 1989 the people living in East Germany had no access at all to anything produced in West Germany.
The other day, I talked to my mom about homemade marzipan and she told me that in East Germany we used to make mock marzipan at home, as nuts in general were hard to get in the shops or very expensive. I asked her to find the recipe for me. I tried it with whole spelt semolina to give it a bit of a healthy touch. It worked fine. According to my mom's handwritten cookbook, the amount of butter can vary from 125g to 250g in 250g semolina. I worked with the amounts given below and was happy with the result. Give it a try or two and you'll see what works best for you.
Combine the basic ingredients and your preferred flavoring and knead until well combined. The batter should well stick together. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a little condensed milk. Make balls of the size if a cherry, and roll them in your favorite coating. Alternatively, press the batter in candy/marzipan molds. Keep in the fridge to cool, then press the marzipan shapes out of the molds.

I just wanted to let it be known that I'm almost 1! While this may not be my exact birthdate it's the closest my mom could guess. You see she adopted me on June 24th, 2006 and they guessed I was 4 months old. So my mom decided that they day I was adpoted I turned 4 months. Fast forward 8 months (holy crap, time goes fast!) and this Saturday I'll be one whole year old! I know my mom and dad have talked about making me a cake.... I sure hope they do!

A London cab driver's wife has launched a £600,000 crowdfunding campaign to take on cab-hailing app Uber's license in the courts.
Artemis Mercer's Action for Cabbies group wants a judicial review of the licence granted to the company in 2012 by Transport for London (TfL).
She claims that TfL followed incorrect procedures and has since failed to enforce the law on issues including background checks and disabled access.
Her group said the radical action was needed to "save the iconic black cab trade and the future of 25,000 cabbies, their families and associated industries."
She said: "When Transport for London granted Uber a license in 2012, it became a law maker instead of the law enforcer it should be.
"We have launched this fundraising to help save our iconic black cab industry and to protect passengers from a woefully inadequate third tier system Transport for London created and that has blurred the line for all taxi regulation."
The app has shaken up the capital's taxi service since it was launched and led to a string of protests by London black cab drivers.
But last October, the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association were dealt a blow when a High Court judge dismissed their claim that Uber was breaking the law in the way it calculates fares.
However, Ms Mercer warned: "When you travel in a black cab, your driver has invested three to four years in training at their own expense – that's why black cabs are voted the best taxi service in the world.
"Transport for London has got it badly wrong. Unless action is taken to enforce the law, the black taxi industry will be decimated and the iconic black taxi extinct."
The Evening Standard has approached Transport for London and Uber for a comment.

New Businesses Opening Up in Yakima
Despite this tough economy a number of new businesses are opening in the valley everyday, including new restaurants. The new Carl's Jr. restaurant is expected to open late next month on south First Street where the former Wendy's restaurant was located. The owner, who also operates a Carl's Jr. in Ellensburg, says he'll start serving burgers around August 20th. Also, Famous Dave's BBQ will open in Union Gap early next year along with a host of new stores, including Cabelas and J.C. Penny.
