In today's world of music The Knux is the phenomenon that's just waiting for that last bit of street buzz that catapults them into everyday conversation. They're a two-man musician team—Al & Krispy—that took their influences of the Kinks and Portishead (among others) and mashed it up with the hip hop they grew up with and made an energizing live show that reeks of long-dead originality.
How long have you guys been out and how long did it take for you guys to get on that LA Weekly cover?
It took us 2 years to get on that cover. Been out here for 3. And we deserve that cover. We're the only hip hop act on the sunset strip that wasn't already known. We've been grindin and doin our thing. We jump on tours and festivals AND worked on our album. We want to spread our word but not in a cheesy way so we're doing it old school and grassroots. We work real hard.
Tell me how you landed yourself as openers for Common, Nas and Lupe Fiasco.
We went on tour with Common on the Finding Forever tour and we were the only ones on tour with main support—it was the Knux and Common. That's it. Knux. (pause) Common. Common came up to us and said that he heard about us. Talkin about how he saw one of our shows live and how it reminded him of Big Daddy Kane. You see we don't come out yelling and muffling up the microphone we come out to make you dance and sweat. That's what Common wanted us to do when we opened up. He wanted it to be hype when he comes out. Old school hip hop guys are the best judges for music. You all can talk about them and how they'll say that hip hop is dead cause their records are not sellin but those are the guys that know real hip hop.
Describe your live show.
There's not a show that we haven't done where we didn't have crowd participation. We're talking about songs that they've never heard in their life and they'll know our chorus before the end of the song. There's people that follow us—like people would The Grateful Dead. We performed with the Roots in Salt Lake City and there was 10,000 people out there to see the Knux and the Roots perform. Blistering heat. Standing on top of each other. We rocked it. We performed in Montreal, Canada—there were people that came out from Vancouver to come see us perform! You gotta look at the Knux more like a punk band. We don't go out there all clean and flashing jewelry. Matter of fact, leave your clean shoes at home cause there's Energy at our shows.
Would you be more on the N.E.R.D. side of hip hop than the Snoop side.
Kinda. We're not on that cool hip hop look-at-my-Ice-Cream-tennis-shoe shit. Every show we perform we're in some dirty ass Chuck Taylors. If you see me in these shoes you should think that I might stage dive, dog. We're not coming out to show our chains and look cute. We come to get at shit.
Krispy when you were a kid around 15 years old everybody listened to the same type of hip hop—what music were you listening to that made you switch gears to make you reach this path?
It wasn't just hip hop. You see we're trained musicians and we play our own instruments so we're more open to stuff. When I was 15 I wasn't just listening to Wu-Tang and Nas. I was listening to Portishead; The Prodigy came out with stuff like Firestarter and all that. Listening to that I thought that I wanted to do it someday. By the time I graduated high school The Strokes had just become mainstream. The Strokes was sicker than any hip hop that was out at the time. It made me go back and listen to the Kinks and Pixies and shit like that. At that point I was done with hip hop cause there was nothing new in hip hop that could influence me.
With all these influences what is Remind Me In Three Days about?
The body is all hip hop—but the clothing it wears is all sorts of other genres. We brought the breakbeat back to the mainstream. You'll hear influences of electronic, dance, garage rock, drum and bass, jungle… it's all influenced on the production side. But it's all hip hop. We spit our asses off so it ain't no corny raps. Hopefully we'll get hip hop listeners to open their ears to other genres.
When you jumble up too much urban America gets confused so this style of music might be accepted more by the stereotypical "white guy". What do you say about that?
You couldn't make a person buy a Lupe album. They'd have to love it. A label can't just market him and get a response. Honestly he doesn't really have any strong label support. When Atlantic had first signed Lupe (We used to write songs for Atlantic) we were trying to see if we could write hooks for him. The label told us "Don't write for this album. It's not going to sell." That album took off with out Atlantic supporting that shit. There's a middle genre now. Some people call it the hipster realm. It's an in-between genre—it's not underground and it's not mainstream. It's not white and it's not black. It's got no color to it. You've just got a whole bunch of people enjoying a style of music. Kids want a blunt rolled with all types of styles now and they're listening to everything. It's a good time right now. You don't have to be in a box. It makes other artists get on their grind and impress a little harder now—and stop the bullshit..
Everything happens in cycles. No one really invents something new. Do you think The Knux hit that sweet spot and are in the right place at the right time?
We're going for longevity but we're still gong to blow it out of the water. I'm not looking to just float around in hip hop just to be "in it". We're not trying to be modest about it. We have the will to knock down the walls of a genre and if we will be the sacrifice for it we're going to do it. We'll go hard or go home. We want this album to be a bridge between genres.
Between what of artists does The Knux lie?
We really just do what we do but we're someplace between Gym Class Heroes and Jay Electronica.
If you were to do a show who would be your first 2 openers.
It don't really matter who opens up—when we get out there they won't remember them anyway.
Last question: Katrina—Blessing or Curse?
It's a blessing and a curse. Blessing because…ummm. Fuck you know what? It wasn't a blessing at all! It was some bad shit for us. We lost family members. We lost memories. There was no good out of that Katrina thing at all. Oh you know what! There WAS a lot of legal shit. I mean, we had a LOT of court shit. Lots of it got dropped after Katrina. I guess there's the plus!

Think your kids spend too much time in front of a screen? A visit to the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria will put a context around all that content.
The museum's core exhibition, Behind the Screen, investigates how films, TV shows, and video games are developed and produced. Spanning two floors and 14,000 square feet, this is a treasure trove of cultural artifacts, computer-based interactive experiences, hands-on demonstrations, video game play, and film screenings. Kids can improvise and record a video flipbook that can be purchased for $5 at the museum gift shop on the way out. They can experiment with stop-motion digital animation, too, by photographing arrangements of plastic cut-outs of vintage swimmers, jars of marshmallow fluff, trout, Christmas turkeys and more. They can learn about music supervision by changing the musical arrangements in scenes from popular films, or explore automated dialogue replacement by recording their voices into famous movies. Demonstrations include sound and film editing, and the kinetoscope, an early motion picture viewing device. Classic movies and cartoon serials screen daily in Tut's Fever Movie Palace, an artist's tribute to the Egyptian-inspired movie theaters of the 1920s.
Grownups will also be fascinated by the wide-ranging collection on display. Among the highlights are studio promotional portraits of Hollywood stars, an early mechanical television, and a Yoda puppet from the 1980 film, The Empire Strikes Back. There are also a Sony Betamax videocassette player, the dinosaur replaced by VHS format; costumes worn by Hedy Lamarr as Delilah in Cecil B. DeMille's 1949 epic film, Samson and Delilah; and the "roach" wig worn by Robert DeNiro in Martin Scorsese's 1979 Taxi Driver.
Located on the site of the old Astoria Studio, the museum houses the country's largest and most significant collection of moving image artifacts, with over 83,000 items representing one of the most important collections of its kind worldwide. Built in 1920 across the East River from Manhattan, the studio was Paramount Pictures' east coast wing, considered "the largest, busiest, and most significant motion picture and television production facility between London and Hollywood." The site was later used for independent film production and by the Army Signal Corps Photographic Center.
The William Fox Gallery on the museum's first level is closed for renovations until 2009; however, the core exhibition and screenings will continue unhampered.
Where: 35th Avenue at 36th Street, Astoria. On weekdays, use the R or V train to Steinway; on weekends, take the R or G.
When: Wednesdays and Thursdays, 11am-5pm; Fridays, 11am-8pm; Saturdays and Sundays, 11am-6pm. Screenings: Fridays at 7:30pm; Saturday and Sunday, afternoons and evenings. Classic movies or cartoon serial screenings: 1 and 3pm daily.
How much: Admission is $10 adults; $7.50 seniors and college students with ID; $5 children ages 5-18. Galleries are FREE Fridays 4-8pm (does not include film). Screenings of classic movies are FREE with admission.

Could Fez, Kelso, Donna, Jackie and the That '70s Show gang be headed to the big screen? Wilmer Valderrama sure hopes so.
Reuniting with his cast mates Ashton Kutcher (Kelso), Mila Kunis (Jackie) and Laura Prepon (Donna) to film a FOX 25th anniversary network special looking back on their series earlier this month, Valderrama (Fez) now says he'd love to see the program make the jump to the big screen.
PHOTOS: Best and worst movie remakes
"I can't tell you it's really happening, but we're thinking that a That '70s Movie would probably be more appropriate than a '70s [TV] reunion," the actor, 32, told E! News Thursday, reflecting on the program that skyrocketed him to fame through its eight-year run from 1998-2006.
Shortly after the cast regrouped to reminisce about their series, Kutcher, 34, and Kunis, 28, broke off from the group for three days of alone time.
On April 19, Kutcher -- now appearing on Two and a Half Men -- whisked his former costar away to Carpinteria, Calif. (87 miles outside Los Angeles) for 72 hours of shopping and dining.
Though the pair have been spending quite a bit of time together, Kunis remains wary of Kutcher, whose marriage to Demi Moore dissolved after he famously cheated on her with San Diego 22-year-old Sara Leal.
VIDEO: Sara Leal opens up about her affair with Ashton
Says the source of Kunis: "Mila wouldn't stand for that kind of stuff. She's a strong, smart girl."

the Complete Guide to the National Park Lodges
by David L. Scott
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0762701196, Paperback)The Complete Guide to the National Park Lodges is utterly comprehensive, describing lodgings from the Ahwahnee in California's Yosemite National Park to Zion Lodge in Utah. Fine hand-sketched illustrations show travelers exactly what their dollar will buy them. The Scotts provide essential information on rooms, rates, locations, seasons, food, facilities, and activities for each entry in long, detailed passages, as well as in bullets for quick reference. Consider it the Lonely Planet of park guides: "North Rim or South Rim? The two sides of the Grand Canyon are so different that they share little other than the same canyon and river. The more popular South Rim has easier canyon access, more facilities, and many more visitors.... Vistas from the North Rim seem more intimate, and fewer people will be standing next to you straining for the same view." Going far beyond the dry, encyclopedic style one might expect, this guide offers descriptions of furnishings and amenities--so you'll know if your room will have a TV and a sofa bed, or if you'll need to bring your own wood for the fireplace. Whether you're planning to view geysers at the Old Faithful Lodge Cabins in Yellowstone or take a gander at Kilauea from Volcano House, the oldest continually operated hotel in Hawaii, The Complete Guide will tell you everything you need to know, and more.
An added bonus: The Globe Pequot Press will donate one dollar from the sale of each copy of this book directly to the National Parks Foundation to help repair trails, clean up waterways, protect animal populations, conduct research, and preserve historical and cultural sites. --Jhana Bach

Ridge vents and/or fan?
I apologize if I don't know the correct terms and I'm sure this has been discussed... I've heard that people say to use only ridge vents OR a fan, but it's been suggested that we get both by a very reputable roofer (one who is premium/elite for Owens Corning). He said that other people will say not to get the fan too b/c it counteracts the vents, but that we might need it for our house since the ridge vents might not be enough and that it might not be 100% effective, but would be about 98% effective...Another roofer said the same thing and that we could turn the fan on if we want to, but maybe we could set it pretty high (like 160 degrees) and if it got really hot that the fan would kick on. One roofer said ridge vents only and another said fan only... They say our roof is a little difficult b/c there are several gables, areas that stick out and not much "peak" (I think it's called...) The house is 2700 sq ft 2 stories, so I don't know how much that is on the roof. There would be about only about 36 feet of ridgevents I think-and that's 3 different peaks... There has been an attic fan (that I guess hasn't worked for the last 6 years we've been here...didn't even know it should have been on), a couple gable vents (only in the front of the house), soffit vents and quite a few (11?) other "vents" in the roof. This obviously didn't work b/c the shingles deteriorated after 12-14 years...
We're really trying to make sure we get good shingles, but also want to make sure that they have the correct ventilation so they'll be valid for the warranty. We're looking at 30 year architectural shingles, so we'd like them to last! We're only looking at roofers that have great ratings on kudzu and premium/elite roofers for owens corning/GAF/Certainteed. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I have used both power vents and ridge vent when there's a lot of hips in the design of the roof, thus not enough ridge area.
I would not recommend power vents only so long as there is some ridge.
I would set the power vents at the highest setting so they only kick on when absolutely needed,
except for the power vents that are on sections far away from the ridge vents, they would be set to kick on more frequently.
When looking for your roofer, get multiple estimates 'which its seems you have all ready' but also make sure you get everything in writing.
Insurance, work to be done, time frame for completion, guarantee, etc.
Vents different than fan?
I think the roofers have been talking about just one attic fan. What exactly are power vents? We had some vents (11), but all roofers had said they would cover them with plywood. I don't think they are power ones-just vents I think? Is an attic fan not enough? If you have power vents, how many do people normally have? Is it one thermostat or one for each vent?
Most PAV's, (Powered Attic Ventilators, Power Fans, Powered Attic Fans, etc...), burn out the motor if there is not enough Intake Ventilation.
All ventilation requirements calculated need to be done precisely for the square footage of your personal home's attic floor square footage, from outside edge to outside edge in every dimension.
If the exact calculations are not done, how does anyone know how much Intake Ventilation and how much Exhaust Ventilation is needed?
Also, another factor that creates a need for additional Ventilation Requirements, is the slope of the roof.
A steeper sloped roof contains a significant more amount on cubic feet of air contained within. If the roof is a 7/12 or 8/12, then 10% more NFVA, (Net Free Ventilated Air flow), is required. For a 9/12 and 10/12 pitch, then 20% more is needed and an 11/12 or 12/12 needs 30% more.
Even the size, or CFM, (Cubic Feet Per Minute), of the PAV needs to be calculated for the correct square footage of your attic, otherwise it will burn out the motor or Suck the conditioned air out of the interior living quarters of your home through points of entry that are inherent in the Building Envelope of most homes ever built.
Ask whichever roofer that took the most detailed measurements, what the "Horizontal Footprint" of the attic floor space is. Report that back to us and I can offer to calculate the precise amount on both Intake and Exhaust Ventilation you require.
The Lanced or Perforated Aluminum soffit panels only provide between 5 to 9 square inches of NFVA per square foot, based on there new and clean performance capabilities. Most wind up getting the vent holes clogged with dust and cob webs and more importantly, with the attic insulation.
An interior attic inspection should have been performed to determine if your Intake Vents were open and flowing or clogged. This is critical.
Under NO circumstances, should you have a PAV in addition to any other upper roof vent systems, inclusing the small box vents, any ridge vent or upper gable wall vents. When the PAV turns on, the exterior weather, snow or rain, can also get sucked in through any of those intended Exhaust portals, which now have become Intake portals to allow the weather into the inside of the attic and cause interior leak damage.
A power vent is and exhaust vent installed in the roof that sucks air out of the attic.
Each power vent you install will have it's own power source and thermostat setting.
I can't comment on rather or not you need one, two or more,
or if you need any at all because I would have to see the roof 'style' and take measurements to determine that.
I was just stating that there are circumstances in which I have used both ridge vents and power vents,
but I never used only power vents, because no matter how you set the thermostat on a power vent it will not run 100% of the time, thus there will always be some build up of heat if only power vents are installed.
Ridge vents and box vents both operate on gravitational pull, thus they are operating 100% of the time.
The type of Powered Fan that gets installed in the ceiling of a house, to pump the interior air into the attic is called a "Whole House Fan."
You need plenty of Intake Ventilation for these to work correctly also, but in this case the Intake would normally be opened windows.
If there is not enough intake air sources for a Whole House Fan, then pilot lights can be extinguished from the suction.
I used soffit & ridge vent
Then I added a fan to the gable vent - venting out
The fan was on a thermostat setting in the attic
If it was hot enough the gable fan would go on
It was strong enough to pull air from the soffit vents & the gable vent at the opposit eend of the attic
In addition I added a switch to manually turn the gable fan on
At nite after it cooled off I would turn on the fan for about an hour
This would cool off the attic & pull nice cool air into the attic
It was nice to be able to do this
I use a Whole House Fan with opened windows to achieve the same affect.
I like that I can cool down my entire home in about 5 minutes or less.
I'm afraid I'm getting even more confused about what to do! We're not concerned about cooling the house-in fact the A/C does a good job, so we don't usually have the windows open (we're in Atlanta, GA, so the windows are mostly closed, except some in the spring and fall:) I'm mainly concerned about making sure the shingles last as long as they should. We definitely have the soffit vents (and I think they're clear), 2 gable vents (just vents, not powered) but they're both on the front of the house. The back of the house and the sides don't really have any vents... Of all the roofers who came out, not one went into the attic and I had suggested it... I'll check with some other roofers-if there are any left-or check with the one who did give the most detailed information. (I'll see if he has the "attic footprint".) Thanks for the info and I'll definitely take more:)
The measurements used to calculate the square footage of the roof,
can also be used to determine your exhaust ventilation needs.
Some ventilation companies actually provide charts showing the scenario's of doing so.
I apologize for steering the conversation off course about the power vents.
The fact of the matter is, none of us in the forum can give you a real recommendation on how many or what type of vents you need with out actually seeing your home.
I was just commenting in my own experience I have installed both ridge vents and a 'fan' - power vent when ridge vent was not capable of venting all areas of the roof.
Good Luck.
I recently was in a discussion about gable vents with ridge vents and soffit vents and went to the internet for answers and came across the "Ed and Dennis Show".
I have an engineering background and believe in the scientific studies. I have all 3 vents in my single ridge-line ranch and am trying to decide whether to close off the gable vents. The only thing I wonder about is in the winter when we get a big snowfall, the snow can completely cover my ridge vent. Will there still be enough ventilation through the snow to ventilate if I close off the gable vents?
2 Attachment(s)
Dennis and I have had very respectfull debates over the years and he does raise some interesting points, but in his self created studies, he did not offer his proof with blind study testing and an associated case history to see what would occur.
But, it is good for each of us to push each others knowledge a bit farther, where all concerned are the better for it.
Here are 2 job photos from 1 1/2 years ago during winter, 2007. Both have 100% continuous Intake Ventilation using the Smart Vent Shingle Over style intake ventilation system from DCI Products, Inc. They also both contain 100% continuous Ridge Exhaust Ventilation, using the Shingle Vent II from Air Vent Inc.
The bungalow roof had just received 14" of snow the evening before and the 12/12 2 story had just received 6" of fresh snow the evening before.
Notice how there are no hot spots on the attic, as evidenced by the continuous and even amount of remaining snow and mostly, please take note of how the Hot Air Exhaust being dispelled from the Ridge Vents on both structures have completely melted away the snow build up at it's exit point.
2 Attachment(s)
Now, lets take a look at some neighbors homes from the same day at each location.
Remember Ed that some of those older houses in the sixties had no venting (sealed attic). It was made to do that, but it is still incorrect and should be updated.
Nice pics. :thumbsup:
MJW, you are right and also the living habits and insulation R-Values are most likely not anywhere near the same, but the opposing neighboring photos were just added as a visual aide, for how the melting and ice formation starts to get created on an improperly ventilated roof.
The uniform and slower melting of the snow from the 2 roofs with Smart Vent and Shingle Vent II clearly demonstrate how proper balanced ventilation will ease the pain of potential ice damming occurrences.

|Bullies: Innocent Bystanders
In a bullying situation, there are usually bystanders, but they aren't exactly "innocent".
Bullying usually happens with other kids around, right? Having an "audience" is very important to a bully. She wants people to see what she's doing, and that she has power over the person she's bullying. It's usually because a bully wants a reputation for being tough or strong, or because she thinks it'll make her more popular.
So what about the people watching the bullying? Why are they letting it happen? Here are some possible reasons:
Did you know that if one person watching a bullying situation says "Stop it!", half the time the bullying will stop? This can be hard to do, but it's important to try. When you stand by and do nothing, that's saying that bullying is okay with you. It makes you no better than the bully himself.
Here are some things you can do if you see someone getting bullied:
If you see someone being bullied over and over again -- whether that person is a friend, sibling, or classmate -- you can make a big difference in helping to stop it:
Do NOT use violence against bullies or try to get revenge on your own. It's possible that by speaking up or helping someone, you've made the bully want to come after you. Be prepared for this, and hold your ground. You already have adult support on your side.
Try to remember the Golden Rule:
Treat others the way you would like to be treated. Stand up for someone when he or she needs it, and when you need it, someone will stand up for you.

Glenn Beck Launches "Declaration Of Rights & Responsibilities"
Blog ››› ››› OLIVER WILLIS
Glenn Beck, as he has done before, has released yet another project for his followers to be involved with. This time it's a "declaration of rights and responsibilities" that he released during his televangelist-style speech during the "Restoring Courage" event in Israel.
The document initially echoes the Declaration Of Independence, declaring "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" to be inalienable rights, then adds that "with those rights come responsibilities." Beck goes on to list these responsibilities, some of which include:
- " I have the responsibility to honor the right of others to worship as they see fit" (flashback: Beck to first-ever Muslim congressman: "[W]hat I feel like saying is, 'Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies' ")
- "I have the responsibility to show humility and express gratitude for all the blessings I enjoy and the rights I've been given" (flashback: Glenn Beck: Self-proclaimed world-historical figure)
- "Because I have a right to the truth, I will not bear false witness nor will not stand idly by as others do." (flashback: 15 Whoppers Beck Did Not Get Fired For In 2010; Beck Lies About His Attack On Israeli Protesters)
And so on.
Beck has a history of launching ambitious-sounding initiatives that he either discards or forgets about ("e4 ," "40 Day Challenge," "The Black Robe Regiment," "In Or Out 2010"), so it remains to be seen just how much longer this new declaration has.

Men's Basketball Opens 2013-14 Season on Saturday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – When the Green Bay men's basketball team had its season-opening tournament in Atlanta cancelled just two weeks before the start of the 2013-14 season, fourth-year head coach Brian Wardle took the opportunity to give both the Phoenix fans and Phoenix players alike a chance for an extra game in Green Bay. The unlikely scenario also allowed a regular season game to be played on campus at the Kress Events Center for just the second time.
Green Bay will open its 2013-14 season on Saturday afternoon at the Kress, hosting Northern Michigan at 1 p.m. With all ticket package purchasers receiving a complimentary ticket, seating will be general admission with adult tickets priced at $5 and youth tickets sold for only $3.
Leading the Phoenix into the opener is the All-Horizon League duo of Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.). Both were among the top-three vote getters in Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year voting and are major reasons that the program was voted the conference's preseason favorite for the first time since 1995.
Green Bay is 34-9 in home games under Wardle, including a 12-3 mark in 2012-13. Sykes was especially effective last season in Green Bay, averaging 16.5 points and five rebounds at home.
INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay and Northern Michigan have met 29 times previously, with the Phoenix holding a 19-10 edge and winning the past nine contests in the series. The last time the two squads played was on Nov. 18, 2009. The Phoenix won that meeting 70-64.
BACK WHERE IT ALL BEGAN: The Green Bay men's basketball team has played only one previous regular season home game at the Kress Events, and that game happened to be Wardle's head coaching debut and the first game of Alec Brown's Phoenix career. On Nov. 13, 2010, Green Bay defeated Minnesota-Duluth 75-36. Brown started and played 18 minutes, registering seven points, six rebounds and six blocked shots.
HIGHS AND LOWS: The all-time series with Northern Michigan features some interesting scores, including two games in which the Phoenix scored 100 or more points. The 106 points Green Bay scored on Dec. 29, 2005 are tied for the most by a Phoenix team in the Division I era. On Nov. 22, 1996, Green Bay opened its season at home against Northern Michigan and posted a 46-21 win over the Wildcats. The game was 14-3 Phoenix at halftime, and the 21 points allowed are the fewest in program history.
SCOUTING THE WILDCATS: Northern Michigan is beginning its first season under the direction of Bill Sall, who spent the past 11 seasons as the head coach at Ferris State. The Wildcats return three players from last season's squad. Northern Michigan was 5-21 a season ago.
WELCOMING WISCONSIN: Next Saturday, Green Bay will welcome No. 20/21 Wisconsin back to the Resch Center for the first time since 2009, when the Phoenix posted an 88-84 overtime victory. It was announced earlier this week that the two squads will compete in front of a sold out crowd of nearly 10,000 fans at the Resch Center.
COMPETE, DEFEND, REBOUND: This signature Brian Wardle mantra was on full display in 2012-13 for the Phoenix. In Horizon League play, Green Bay led the conference in rebounding margin, field goal percentage defense and blocked shots. With freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) grabbing 8.3 boards per game, Green Bay's plus-6.4 was more than four rebounds clear of second place. Aided by a league-best 5.6 blocked shots per game, the Phoenix was also the only conference team to hold opponents below 40 percent from the field. Both were on full display in the team's exhibition game, with the Phoenix claiming a 57-25 edge on the glass and holding the V-Hawks to just 24.1 percent from the field.
IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN: Brown will be in select company heading into this season. In fact, Brown will be in a group by himself as the nation's only active player with 1,200-plus points, 600-plus rebounds and 200-plus blocks. The 7-foot-1 versatile post player is a two-time All-Horizon League player and was on the All-Defensive Team in 2012-13. Brown is only the second player in HL history to accumulate those career numbers and is on pace to be the first league player to finish his career with 1,500 points, 750 rebounds and 250 blocks.
FREE AND EASY: Led by Sykes, Green Bay led the Horizon League in free-throw percentage in conference play, shooting 75.2 percent from the charity stripe. Due to both quantity and quality, Sykes was a major reason why. The 5-foot-11 point guard raised his free-throw percentage by nearly 15 percent from 2011-12, hitting 81.5 percent. Sykes got to the line with great regularity, leading the Horizon League and breaking the school record for free throws made in a season with 159. Brown also made more than 100 free throws (109) and enters the 2013-14 season just outside of the program's top-10 with 304 career free throws made.
All tickets for the 2013-14 men's and women's basketball seasons are on sale now.

[AMERICANS ABROAD] For Brad Guzan's Aston Villa, the new English Premier League season on the road began a lot better than the last season ended. Villa, loser of its last six away games, beat Stoke City, 1-0, to open the 2014-15 campaign.
The clubs of the other two Americans -- Jozy Altidore (Sunderland) and Tim Howard (Everton) -- in action on Saturday both drew, 2-2, on the road.
The big surprise of the day
on the American front in the EPL was that Geoff Cameron, a fixture in the Stoke lineup for two seasons, watched the game against Villa from the stands as Phil Bardsley, picked up from Sunderland, got the nod at right back.
Teenager Emerson Hyndman again went the
distance for Fulham, which dropped its second straight decision -- a 1-0 loss at home to London rival Millwall -- in the League Championship.

Re: Vectorization
That's because the construction of the LONG complex vector uses far
more time than long real vector.
To simplify the matter, just throw Sin away:
Table[I Random[], {1000000}] // Timing // First
I Table[I Random[], {1000000}] // Timing // First
1.983 Second, 3.786 Second.
The frist one is the contruction ONE complex vector, while in the
second one another vector is contructed due to the I * {...}
operation. And 3.786 Second is about 2 * 1.983 Second.
As a comparision,
Table[Random[], {1000000}] // Timing // First
2 Table[Random[], {1000000}] // Timing // First
0.29 Second, 0.411 Second.
In your example,
Table[Sin[I Random[]],{1000000}]//Timing//First
will generate only one complex vector, while
Sin[Table[I Random[],{1000000}]]//Timing//First
will generate two complex vectors. ----- The time saved by
vectorization is less than that used by the contruction of a complex

So I've entered (yet another) Threadless Loves contest in my endless quest to finally win one. The theme of this competition was Threadless Loves Pinups, and pinups are pretty much one of my favorite art subjects, so I really wanted to submit something good. I ended up doing an homage to Gil Elvgren, who always included narrative elements of surprise and flirty faux shock in his pieces, limiting myself to an Elvgren-authentic palette and brushstroke style. Feel free to click on the link and vote on my design.
The other image is a steampunk skeleton watercolor that I did for a friend's birthday. I liked the idea of a clockwork skeleton quite a lot - a concept we brainstormed to life together - and I've been dwelling on mortality, hearts, and clocks and all the interesting inbreeding in between those themes. The final piece came out fairly well. It's on a small art card, accented with washi tape to frame the top and bottom, with accents in acrylic copper and tarnished silver paint and black ink.

Argentina blasts Britain over islands and Antarctica
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
In a letter to Prime Minister David Cameron published in the British media today, Argentine President Christina Fernandez de Kirchner attacks Britain's claim on the Falklands, known in Argentina as the Malvinas:
One hundred and eighty years ago on the same date, January 3rd, in a blatant exercise of 19th-century colonialism, Argentina was forcibly stripped of the Malvinas Islands, which are situated 14,000km (8700 miles) away from London.
The Argentines on the Islands were expelled by the Royal Navy and the United Kingdom subsequently began a population implantation process similar to that applied to other territories under colonial rule. Since then, Britain, the colonial power, has refused to return the territories to the Argentine Republic, thus preventing it from restoring its territorial integrity.
The Brits have a different version of that history, reports the Guardian:
The FCO also disputes Fernández's claim that Britain kicked out the island's original Argentinian inhabitants. It says there was no civilian population on the island in 1833, with the Royal Navy expelling an Argentine military garrison that had arrived three months earlier. "We can't talk about sovereignty unless and until the Falkland islanders agree to it," the FCO said.
Fernandez's latest broadside comes two weeks after Argentina made a formal complaint over Britain's decision to name a large swathe of Antarctica after the queen. Queen Elizabeth Land — which is nearly twice the size of the U.K., falls within what London considers British territory, but Argentina claims part of it as well.
The 1959 Antarctic Treaty isn't much use on this one — it forbids new territorial claims on the continent but doesn't renounce or make any judgment on previous ones. Both Argentina and Chile have overlapping claims with Britain and the foreign ministry in Buenos Aires attacked the naming move for "anachronistic imperialist ambitions that hark back to ancient practices".

Granted, this is pretty much an amazing camera with a smartphone attached. The rest of the spec sheet will not cause anyone's heart to start fluttering, although overall the device is plenty competent.
In our review of the PureView 808 last summer, we acknowledged all of the Nokia's warts and still gave Symbian a thumbs up. The main attraction of the PureView though is the camera, and what a camera it is. From its large sensor to pixel oversampling which enables higher quality photos even when shooting in automatic 5MP mode, to lossless zoom to capturing images in full resolution, the optics do not disappoint.
In addition to the mega-camera unit, there are a number of shooting modes, including a setting called "creative" which allows you to manually adjust all the settings. In short, photos simply come out great. Check out the compilation put together by Martin Roth with a Nokia PureView 808. Naturally, selecting full screen and 1080p will make the difference when enjoying the scenery. The images were taken last summer in Denmark.
However, to view as the photographer intended, select "original" for resolution. You might want to be sure you have solid graphics capability and make sure you have a good internet connection as the photo resolution is 7728x4354.

Building frame for painter's canvas
This isn't a typical carpentry task, but I have to build a frame for my daughter to show a painting at her college's art gallery. We can't afford to order stretchers from a professional art supply company.
The dimensions of the canvas are 7' x 3-1/2'. As we don't have access to a truck and would prefer not renting one for the day, I am planning to build it as what amounts to two frames to be fastened together at the college. I am ripping two 8" kiln dried douglas fir 2x4s into four 8' pieces . I want to cut six 3-1/2 footers from three of those 8' pieces. From the fourth I want to take one piece and rip it again. The idea is to end up with two square frames, with each square having one thinner side.
The rest of the material will be used to make corner braces and cross braces. If there isn't enough material taken from those two 2X8 boards, I have some scrap.
I plan non mitering the corners, gluing them, and nailing them with a 25 gauge.
One square frame will be bolted or screwed on top of the other frame, with the two thinner sides interfacing one another. I will run a ledger board across the front of the lower part of the frame so as to ensure that when the top square is stacked on it the pieces are parallel.
To get the paintable area of the canvas off the wood, I will tack on some quarter round along the edge.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can do this better on a budget. I don't have the knowledge or equipment for motise and tenons.
do you have access to a biscuit joiner? that would work.
otherwise, pre-drill and screw the rails and stiles.
if you have a table saw, half-lap the corners?
You might try using 3/4" ply as it's a more dimensionly stable wood. How you buid it depends on the tool situation. If you have a table saw you can do 1/2 lap joints.
New Saw tomorrow, frame due tomorrow
Thanks Ron & jlhaslip.
I wanted to go with the 1/2 lap joints, but it was a little shaky cutting them with my old bench saw so my daughter wanted me to do miter joints on the DeWalt miter saw. I think the lap joints would have been stronger and less susceptible to twisnting.
The biscuits idea was a great one, but I don't have access to and have never used a biscuit joiner. That is on the wish list.
This past weeks, I already bought a used Bosch barrel grip jig saw and a new Rigid R4511 granite top table saw. I would have liked to have had the new saw to make this, but the frame has to be finished tomorrow and the saw is being delivered then. (No way is this old man trying to move a 477 pound saw (boxed).)
My daugther is now concerned about the weight and wants to forego bracing. I braced it with 9" corner braces and cross braced each 3-1/2' section. As the two are bolted together to make up one 3-1/2' x 7' canvas stretcher frame, I will glue on a 6" strip of 1/4" plywood at the joint to reduce the wobble.
Thanks for the help. I also cleared a space in the garage for the saw being delivered tomorrow.

Cambell Compressor Specs
I might be able to get a Campbell Hausfeld VT5587 (or VT558704) compressor. It's an upright 60 or 80 gallon deal. Anyone have any specs on these? I couldn't find a manual or anything on it. Anyone know what this would be worth? Here's the best pick I have:
it looks pretty nice if it works good and the price is good buy it looks like 80gal
Get all the information from the nameplate and get online and do some research on it.
You need to look at what really matters and whether it's 60 gallon or 80 gallons don't mean squat and will make no difference in performance THERE IS NO DISCERNIBLE DIFFERENCE in performance between a 60 gallon tank and an 80 gallon, all other things being the same! What you need to consider is the compressor type and motor, in this case that is just a simple single stage pump of a very common model sold on home type compressors. The motor will be a 240 volt, most likely a Century or possibly an Emerson either of which is so-so quality. The point is don't pay much for this thing because it can be bought for as little as $400 new if it is the 3 1/2 HP 15 AMP version (usually mounted on a 60 gallon tank), that 3 1/2 HP can be listed as high as 6 to 7 HP "Peak" but if the motor is 15 AMPs the HP is about 3 1/2 and the "Peak" rating is just sales gimmick non-sense. These little single stage pumps have a comparatively short service life to a good two stage so if it has a lot of time on it then it may have reduced performance. Open the drain valve and check for rust colored water which would indicate internal tank rusting, if it rusts through and starts leaking it is scrap and CAN NOT be repaired! Check for excessive oil around the pump crankcase vent which would indicate pump wear and blow-by which are common ailments of a high time pump. Regardless of what kind of specs you find published by the manufacturer about the best you can expect from that little single stage pump is going to be about 10 to 11 CFM@90 PSI for the 15 AMP version and no more than 13 CFM for the larger versions, that's if and only if it is like new because these figures decline as pump time increases. Once again, look at what counts and DON'T be swayed by the size of the stinkin tank it simply will not make the thing perform any better in spite of the common myth!
BTW, since "Peak" HP has been discussed so much here in the past I thought it might be of interest that CH has recently started rating that 15 AMP motor at a much more realistic 3.2 HP instead of the BS 6 1/2 HP number! :)

London • The Museum of London is turning its magnifying glass on the most famous Londoner who never lived — Sherlock Holmes.
The museum on Tuesday announced an exhibition devoted to Arthur Conan Doyle's Victorian detective, featuring everything from hand-written manuscripts to the coat worn by Benedict Cumberbatch in the BBC series "Sherlock."
It's the first time the history museum has built a show around a fictional character. But Holmes is one of those rare creations who has long outlived his creator and captured the public imagination for more than a century.
"There are people out there who think he's a real person," said Alex Werner, the exhibition's lead curator. "His profile has never been higher."

At a book party at Johnny's half shell on the Hill, Boehner acknowledged the elephant(s) in the room.
Tearing it loose he saw at this place a dark, purplish spot just like one on the other half shell.
Season two dozen oysters on the half shell with salt and pepper.
The half shell of an egg will remove bits of shell from broken eggs much better than a spoon.
There was also oyster stew, oysters and clams on the half shell and mince pies that some soldiers wife had made for us.
Like them, you have eaten oysters on the half shell, and they're usually alive when you gulp them down.
The secret of this lies in the fact that the performer is provided with a half shell of clear glass.
He found that a thickened muscle near the middle part was fastened to the half shell.
Spread this paste on top of a dozen oysters on the half shell, and bake in oven for about five minutes.
The half shell of the cylinder as shown occupies 196 degrees or the larger arc embraced between the radial lines k and l.

Arvo Pärt: Tabula Rasa [Deluxe Re-issue]
Arvo Pärt's music is immediately recognizable for its quiet, compelling sense of gravitas. Yet its apparent simplicity was achieved through multiple, painstaking revisions. A reissue of Tabula Rasa, the Estonian composer's 1984 minimalist classic, is just out in a deluxe edition marking his 75th birthday. It comes with a hardcover book containing a CD, manuscript, study scores, essays and photos that trace the work's genesis and impact.
Although this piece has been recorded several times since, this original version offers a now legendary lineup of performers from the ECM canon, including Dennis Russell Davies, Gidon Kremer and Keith Jarrett. Also on the album are Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten and Fratres, in versions for violin/piano and 12 cellos – all the pieces that comprised the original Tabula rasa album.

Investa Property Group is set to become one of the country's biggest owners of prime real estate worth more than $12 billion after it secured the management rights of the listed ING Office Fund.
The deal, as foreshadowed by BusinessDay, will see Investa, which is owned by the US investment house Morgan Stanley, own and/or manage 60 office buildings, across the country, as well as some key residential and industrial properties.
Under the long-awaited deal, Investa will buy a 2.5 per cent stake in ING Office, equal to 68 million units, currently owned by the Dutch ING Groep, and will rename it the Investa Office Fund, with the same ASX ticker, IOF.
Investa bought the 2.5 per cent stake in ING Office at 58 cents a unit. The securities closed up 2 cents at 59.5 cents on solid turnover.
It will allow the unlisted Investa to work on its previous plan to have a listed office trust.
As details are worked through, Investa will replace the current ING Real Estate Investment Management Australia as the Manager of the Fund. It is intended that over time, ING Real Estate Management will seek unitholder consent to install Investa as the overall responsible entity.
ING Groep put up its management rights in the five ING listed trusts last August as it restructured its operations to focus on Europe. The current Australian manager of ING Office, led by chief executive Denis Hickey, had also been working on an internalisation plan and late lasst week the Brisbane-based Cromwel Group also entered the fray.
Both attempts were unsuccessful with Investa coming out the victor.
The stablemate ING Industrial Fund was taken over by Goodman Group 10 days ago, while the ownership of the other trusts remains unresolved.

By Jonathan Underhill
Nov 2 (BusinessDesk) – New Zealand shares fell, led by Sky Network Television after one of its oldest supporters exited its 11 percent stake. Infratil fell after the Commerce Commission questioned the profit made by Wellington International Airport and Tower rose after selling its medical business.
The NZX 50 Index fell 17.80 points, or 0.5 percent, to 3914.07. Within the index, 25 stocks fell, 13 rose and 12 were unchanged. Turnover was $325 million, the busiest day this year, reflecting the sale of Todd Capital's Sky TV stake.
Sky TV, the nation's dominant pay-TV operator, fell 4.9 percent to $5.10. Todd Communications, part of the privately owned Todd Corp, agreed to sell its 11.1 percent stake in Sky for $218 million, ending a 22-year tie up. Todd sold the 43.2 million shares at $5.05 apiece, a 5.8 percent discount to their trading price yesterday.
"Sky has under-performed – the market has been concerned with their growth profile," said James Lindsay, equities manager at Tyndall Investment Management. Todd's holding "is a very chunky stake." Investors are also pondering the threat from internet based rivals such as Netflix, he said.
Infratil declined 1.8 percent to $2.20. Wellington International Airport, which is co-owned by Wellington City Council and Infratil, has "excessive" earnings targets that aren't being pulled down by stricter disclosure rules, according to the Commerce Commission.
"It is a reasonable sized asset for Infratil and the value of the airport has been hit slightly," Lindsay said.
Auckland International Airport, New Zealand's biggest gateway, fell 1.5 percent to $2.64.
Tower, the insurance and wealth management company, rose 1 percent to $1.95 after announcing it had agreed to sell Tower Medical Insurance to ASX-listed nib holdings for about $102 million and plans to return the capital to shareholders. Tower Medical has a market share of about 13 percent and competes with Southern Cross.
The unit "was probably sub-scale" for Tower and it was seen as one of the harder units for it to sell, Lindsay said.
Among smaller stocks, Lyttelton Port Co fell 4.6 percent to $2.10 after the company told shareholders that it sees 2013 annual profit falling by as much as 23 percent as it moves outside its indemnity period for cruise revenue and on smaller volumes of coal exports.
Wellington Drive Technologies, the unprofitable maker of efficient electric motors, tumbled 15 percent to 16.6 cents after it posted a 23 percent slump in third-quarter sales after switching its focus this year to commercial refrigeration markets. It doesn't see much good news on the horizon.
Sales fell to $6.6 million in the three months ended Sept. 30 from $8.8 million in the same period a year earlier, the Auckland-based company said in a statement.
TeamTalk, the owner of the CityLink fibre-optic broadband service, fell 0.4 percent to $2.61 after saying it wants to buy rural telecommunications provider Farmside Group for up to $42.1 million as it looks to grow its footprint beyond urban areas.


text: NEW YORK, May 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), the New York-based specialty athletic retailer, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Runners Point Warenhandelsges. mbH ("RPG"), a specialty athletic store and online retailer based in Recklinghausen, Germany, for total cash consideration of 72 million euros (approximately $94 million). RPG is currently majority owned by the private equity firm HANNOVER Finanz. The Company's Chief Executive Office, Otto Hurler, and Chief Financial Officer, Harald Wittig own the balance of the Company. Both Mr. Hurler and Mr. Wittig, along with other members of senior management, will remain with the Company post-acquisition. The transaction is subject to review by merger control authorities in Germany. RPG has a leading position in the German athletic retail market, operating more than 200 stores --- with its most prominent banners being Runners Point and Sidestep --- as well as an online subsidiary, Tredex. RPG previously announced sales of 197 million euros ( $254 million) for calendar year 2012. Most of the stores are in Germany, although there are also Runners Point and Sidestep stores in The Netherlands, Austria, and Switzerland. While most of the stores are owned and operated by RPG, 28 of the stores are operated by franchisees. The purchase price will be allocated between the sellers and RPG's primary creditors, delivering to Foot Locker, Inc. an entity which is substantially debt-free. "We are excited to be adding Runners Point, a fast-growing, multi-format and multi-channel business, to our already-strong European operations," said Ken C. Hicks, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Foot Locker, Inc. "This acquisition will enhance our position in Germany, the strongest economy in Europe, and also provide us with additional banners to further diversify and expand our European business. We also intend to leverage Tredex's strong digital capabilities to accelerate growth in our own developing European e-commerce business." "Our association with Foot Locker will significantly enhance the Runners Point team's ability to capitalize on the growth strategies we have been actively pursuing in recent years," said Mr. Hurler. "We look forward to working closely together to maximize the performance of our business as part of one of the world's leading specialty athletic retailers."

Overpaid Carlson a TE. Need more weapons. #4 Browns - Kalil They have Joe Hayden but have a need for a #2. Good draft for CBs though. #5 Bucs - Trent Richardson I could also see them trading back to stock pile. Maybe Cincy wants to move up and grab Richardson. Bucs have Talib, Wright, Barber (hes been invited back) #6 Rams - Blackmon if he's there...or Reiff. signed Finnegan to a huge contract #7 Jaguars - Coples/Ingram Maroons when it comes to drafting.

Aspen City Council to revisit three-story issue
January 13, 2013
ASPEN – At the Aspen City Council's first regular meeting of the year Monday, an issue that took much of the council's time last year – three-story building development in the downtown area – will be revisited.
Postponed at the council's last regular meeting on Dec. 10 was a final vote on an ordinance that would ban free-market residential development in the downtown area and also put an end to three-story building projects – unless the top floor had a commercial purpose such as office space or lodging. Council members wanted to give City Attorney Jim True time to study the legal ramifications of an amendment offered by Mayor Mick Ireland that sought to allow three-story developments on only the north side of a street.
After conferring with True and taking into consideration the council's comments a month ago, the city's Community Development Department will return tonight with three options:
• Allowing three-story development in the commercial core and commercial districts but limiting all third stories to 50 percent of a parcel's size and limiting their uses to lodging, commercial and affordable-housing uses. A third-story setback of 35 feet from the property line would be instituted for all developments on south sides of streets.
"Free-market residential development is not allowed under this option," a memorandum from long-range planner Jessica Garrow states.
• Allowing three-story developments in both districts but only on properties on the north side of a street. Any property on the south side of a street would be limited to 28 feet, thereby ensuring that they are no more than two stories. As in the first option, all third stories would be limited to 50 percent of a parcel's size and only for lodging, commercial and affordable-housing uses. No free-market residential development would be allowed.
"While this option is legally defensible, staff remains concerned that simply banning south-side development creates inequity and confusion within the zone district," the memo says.
• Keeping what is basically in place today: All development in both districts would be limited to 28 feet. A change to the existing policy would be the prohibition of any new free-market residential uses.
The Community Development Department is recommending passage of the first option.
Monday's meeting begins at 5 p.m. in the basement of Aspen City Hall at 130 S. Galena St. The three-story-development topic is listed at the end of the meeting agenda and includes a public hearing to allow public comments.

Audi to build production plant in Mexico, maintaining its drive for internationalization
Supervisory Board welcomes plans for Audi plant in Mexico
Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG: Excellent basis for sustainable growth
General Works Council Chairman Peter Mosch: Stepping up production capabilities guarantees capacity utilization of main plants
Exact Location to be selected later this year production to begin in 2016
The decision has been made: AUDI AG Board of Management and Supervisory Board of AUDI AG approved plans to build a North American plant in Mexico. The exact location for the new plant, which will manufacture an SUV model starting in 2016, will be chosen by AUDI AG later this year.
As an established carmaking location, Mexico offers an excellent economic basis for Audi production operations, declared Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. Mexico is one of the worlds top ten automotive locations and offers a blend of tradition and experience. The group parent Volkswagen already has an automotive plant in Puebla and an engine plant in Silao. Good infrastructure, competitive cost structures and existing free trade agreements played a significant role in the choice of Mexico, emphasized Stadler. This trailblazing move will help us safeguard our position in the world market. Our German locations, too, stand to benefit from it.
When I saw this on Faceyspace, I figured the old chestnut of the Emkay 4 world: "Mexico or Germany" would rear it's mouth-breathing visage. I was correct.

We can count on the French to be there when they need us
Check this out!
Army Knife | 911 Eiffel Tower
| Shut Up |
French Guilt |
6-17-05: Boycott Watch dot com joins the list of boycott resources below. Boycott Watch helps tries to set the record straight on which products are actually French owned and which are only French sounding or have an office in France. You might want to check this out in case you find something there you are boycotting that you don't have to do without.
5-24-05: Maybe we can get the French to boycott themselves! You might remember Charles de Gaulle. On the 13th of November, 1945, the first Constituent Assembly unanimously elected de Gaulle as head of the French government. He held the post until resigning on 20th January, 1946. Even their own leader, unanimously elected, couldn't stomach the French. As reported in the Sunday newspaper magazine Parade on May 22, 2005:
9-10-04: Kenneth Timmerman, a New York Times best-selling author, lived and worked as an investigative reporter in France for 18 years. His latest book, The French Betrayal of America, was released last week from Crown Forum. In his book he exposes France for the pant load of corruption it has become. Included in his charges are:
For an in depth interview of Kenneth Timmerman about his new book, visit National Review Online.
6-18-04: Still in mourning for his business partner Saddam Hussein, French president Jacques Chirac refused an invitation to attend Ronald Reagan's funeral, nor did the French government even plan to send a representative until a stink arose that rivaled Chirac's unwashed French armpits. Chirac, a rude and petty little man with a deep hatred for America, was only an hour away from the funeral proceedings as he was attending the G-8 summit in Georgia at the time of the funeral. Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader of the Soviet Union during the time it was defeated by Reagan attended the funeral for criminy sake! Hat's off to Gorbachev for being such a class act in this instance by the way. Whether you cared for Reagan or not, Chirac's snub was an insult to ALL Americans and should be considered a further warning to America that the French government harbors us ill will and is no longer an allied nation. You can order a "Boycott France" bumper sticker to show your disgust with the French government.
2-6-04: I have another France bashing political cartoon for you. I love this junk and I'm guessing you like this stuff too but are too politically correct to admit it for fear all your compassionate, open-minded, big-tent, inclusive, liberal coworkers will hate your freaking guts and ostracize you forever for having an opinion that differs from theirs. Here is what you do: put your coat over the monitor then, peeking through the sleeve hole, hit the link to the Boycott France page and click on the Surrender Monkey link in the "Check This Out" box. If you start to giggle just tell them that you are reading a hard hitting online LA Times article about how stupid Bush is and that if they do as you are doing they can see it too. Guaranteed good for a second giggle as you watch them peer through their sleeve holes to try to see how stupid Bush is.
1-15-04: Just when you thought it was safe to be a woman and wear no pants, there is an update at the Boycott France page! It is a political cartoon that throws the assertion that GW is a cowboy back into France's hypocritical face. Of all the countries to accuse the US of that, what gaul, France is one of the most imperialist countries ever to exist on planet Earth! It makes sense that they hate to see a dictator replaced by a democracy, that is their own history time and again! OK, I'm through ranting. Click on the "French Quilt" link in the "Check this out!" box.
As reported on FoxNews 10-8-03: France honors a brutal convicted cop killer! In another example of France seeking to hurt the USA, the Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoe, has made convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal an honorary citizen. Abu-Jamal is waiting on death row for the cold blooded murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. In her own words officer Faulkner's grieving widow said, "I feel that the French society is really twisted in doing such an unspeakable act as making this man an honorary citizen" Abu-Jamal shot officer Faulkner in the back and as the wounded officer lay on the ground, Abu-Jamal stood over him and emptied his gun into Faulkner's face. Abu-Jamal has since lost all his appeals and because of the reams of evidence to the brutal and heartless crime, is deemed by the fair minded to be truly guilty. However UCLA teacher and Black Panther sympathizer, Angela Davis and the extremist Hollywood activists Susan Sarandon, Ed Asner, and Mike Farrel have taken up this jerk's cause and have given him celebrity status in the hearts of those who hate America, including France. Like the heartless thugs they are, Susan Sarandon, Ed Asner and Mike Farrel never responded to the letters from the widow asking for a discussion on the matter. Shame on them all!
As reported on The O'Reilly Factor on 9/15/03 - Recently Secretary of State Colin Powell tried to convince the United Nations Security Council to help the Coalition secure Iraq. The U.N. is ready to do so but France is standing in the way. This puts the Coalition forces in jeopardy as instability means more violence against our troops in Iraq. Has France become an enemy to America? In an ongoing (as of this week) poll at billoreilly.com 91% of over 25,000 respondants said "Yes"! billoreilly.com also provides a list of French websites you can visit that will allow you to email the French companies and tell them what you think. Look for the Bill O'Reilly link below in the List of Boycott Resources.
Reported in the first week of July, 2003 on The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News - France is harvesting the rotted fruit of their anti-American positions and statements. It is estimated that 43% of Americans are participating in the boycott. Wine sales in America are down 26%, French imports in general are down 10% and tourism is down 25%. The slow down in the tourist trade has had a devastating impact on the hostelry industry with French hotels operating at 30% of their capacity. Even the gigantic annual French air show saw ONE THIRD of the American buyers it normally enjoys. Keep up the great work fellow citizens, it is through our grassroots efforts that ordinary folks like you and I can make our collective voice heard. Hopefully even that America hating dunce Jacques Chirac will see how wildly unpopular his terrorist-and-dictator-nurturing rhetoric has made his country. By the way, Fox News reported on 7-16-03 that Hollywood actor Johnny Depp says that he is sick of America and wants to move to, and raise his kids in, Paris France. Lets all chip in for his plane tickets and get that done!
As reported on The O'Reilly Factor on FOX News 6-17-03, France recently refused to isolate or impose sanctions on Hamas, a well funded terrorist group who is responsible for the death of over 350 men, women and children over the last 3 years. Why the hell would you try to protect such horrifically evil people? Why does the French government think it is a good idea to run interference for a notorious and brutal terrorist group? All the more reason to renew your resolve to boycott France. Let them know what you think of their actions in the only way you can make them listen, through their wallets!
France has every right to disagree with America. But France has moved from simple dissent to active hostility toward America. French President Chirac warned East European nations that if they side with America, France will oppose their membership in the European Union. France went to Africa to twist the arms of client states to oppose America in it's efforts to protect the world and depose a brutal dictator.
William Safire reported in the New York Times that France has been secretly helping to arm Iraq and has been helping Iraq build long range missiles banned by the United Nations sanctions against Iraq.
Bill O'Reilly has reported that France conspired with Iraq and Syria to move Iraq's weapons of mass destruction to Syria to hide them with the intention of discrediting America. If nothing else, France is responsible for helping to preserve some of the worst weapons of mass destruction in human history.
Fox News reports that French embassies in Damascus Syria have been very busy filling out visas since the fall of Baghdad, presumably for high ranking Iraqi fugitives. Israeli intelligence reports that high ranking Iraqi's are leaving Damascus on flights of undetermined destinations. You connect the dots.
Fox News reports that the CIA has confirmed that France has issued visas to top Iraqi Officials since the war with Iraq started and that these officials have escaped to Europe.
Just as France is exercising its right to disagree, Americans can exercise their right to boycott and avoid helping companies and countries that do not stand with America.
Ever heard of Lagardere SCA? No? Well maybe because it's a French company. OK ... have you ever heard of Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S.? Probably not, but Hachette Filipacchi publishes some magazines you may have heard of. Those magazines would be Elle, Car & Driver, Women's Day and others. Now it's getting familiar, isn't it? OK, so we have Car & Driver which is published by Hachette Filipacchi which is owned by Lagardere SCA which is a French Corporation.
So .. are we finished here? No, not quite. It seems that a man who has been the news quite a bit of late owns around two percent of Lagardere SCA. About $90 million dollars worth. His name? Saddam Hussein.
In the last 18 months there have been over 400 hate crimes against Jewish targets in France including, in recent days, arson attacks against synagogues, Jewish institutions, beatings of Jewish school children and pedestrians and other acts of threats and intimidation.
Join the "Boycott France" Campaign
Since this grass roots "boycott France" movement has started tourism in France has fallen 20%, sales in French wines have dropped by 10%. You CAN make a difference.

Help is on the way for mothers who struggle with breast-feeding
There are 14 comments on the The Santa Fe New Mexican story from May 9, 2009, titled Help is on the way for mothers who struggle with breast-feeding. In it, The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that:Don't let anybody kid you: Breast-feeding can be torture. During those first weeks of nursing, unthinkable things can happen to your body.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at The Santa Fe New Mexican.

There aren't many children or infants or women of childbearing age in Santa Fe, but what the hey, it's a mother's day article. A great time to think about "cracked and bleeding breasts".
#4 May 10, 2009
What needs to happen is that the St. V's administration should be training all nurses and doctors on how to take care of these breastfeeding mothers as soon as they have thier babies from the onset. Every mother should be comfortable enough to trust these nurses who are suppose to be trained the same way on how to breast feed the new babies. If the hospital has to hire an expert with the background in breast feeding techniques that work in the best interest of the mother and child, then, hire them and put them to work. What is so difficult to teach nurses on how to breast feed a child from the experts who know thier stuff as mentioned in the story? Babies deserve a strong connection between thier mothers and their is nothing wrong breastfeeding them, especially if the mother is healthy and strong enough to take care of her own business with her child.
#5 May 10, 2009
What a sad little article to feature on the front page of the Santa Fe New Mexican on Mother's Day.
I nursed both of my babies and it was a "piece of cake". Also, it was a pleasure. It made me feel happy and I knew that it was what nature intended....and what was best for both me and my babies.
This article makes mothers appear to be sad, uneducated, poor pitifuls.
Mother's Day is a day of celebration....elation...happi ness...JOY!
The front page story should have shown smiling mothers and babies....celebrating MOHERHOOD!
In short, I consider this article to be very inappropriate for the front page featured story on Mother's Day.
#7 May 10, 2009
This is not news, this is marketing and IMHO, is a negative commentary to newspaper. Couldn't sell them ad but have them nearly on the hook?

Oh my gawd!!!!! Breast feeding is not torture! What an odd article for the paper to run and on Mother's day to boot! Ugh!
God save us from industrial medicine and the hospitals that kill us.
Woman empower yourselves........take back motherhood, child birthing and breastfeeding.........and heed less attention to the advice of healthcare professionals.
Get in touch with an elder woman who has breastfed if you are in doubt about the process or if you are disconnected from someone in your family who can teach you......contact your abuela or tia........they'll show you how to breastfeed..........screw the overworked, multitasked nurse.
If that doesn't work get in touch with a dietitian at your local WIC office or a support group like the La Leche league.
#11 May 10, 2009
I am not surprise that we still have a few idiots out there make stupid comments such as this one.
#12 May 10, 2009
Good for you! However, there are cases when all does not go well and in the case of early C-sections the baby may not be ready. Mouth and palate formation may not be conducive to breast feeding. In the case of my daughter, successful in breastfeeding her first child for a year, the second child was quite a challenge. I applaude her and all the professionals whom she consulted. She is pumping and making sure that her baby is fed breast milk. She is not pitiful. She is a professional in mechanical engineering and has become very proficient in what it takes to feed a baby right when the need arises. Thank you New Mexican for presenting diversified issues.
#13 May 11, 2009
i was so upset to see so many negative comments to this article. While i may not agree with everything that is in there, i certainly appreciate the effort. for me, breatfeeding WAS a challenge and im proud of myself for going through with it, i did get help, and i had no idea about the resources mentioned in the paper...
i received tons of formula samples even before my baby was born, but nothing ever concerning breastfeeding, and i think that it is very WRONG. i guess since no one makes money on breastfeeding, it gets largely ignored, i am glad that the paper addressed this issue. even if it's once a year.
#14 May 11, 2009
oh, and by the way, regardless of how many babies there are in santa fe, i believe each and every one of them deserves the best start which is what breastmilk is for, and every mother deserves the best care for her efforts, it is so sad that some people just dismissed the worthiness of this article under the pretext that there are not many babies born in santa fe
#15 May 11, 2009
Anna had a difficult time breastfeeding between remedial english and PE. God bless her little 13 year old soul.
#16 May 11, 2009
oh sorry my english offended you, Mark, or whatever it was. it is not funny. and for many mothers it isn't, i thought this area was for discussing the article and not other people.
#17 May 11, 2009
Lactation consultants are very important resources and St. Vincent's Hospital should invest in such services--not that it would come out of the pockets of St.Vincent's because you know mothers would be billed for their services but it is worth it. Even if mothers are on Medicaid when they deliver, the investment in breastfeeding support is worth saving the $$ these women would request from WIC (I think WIC gives mother's 9 cans of formula a month, at $12-$20 a can that is $100 a month for 1 year). This is of course assuming women on medicaid also qualify for and use WIC.
Some of the comments here imply that women can only breastfeed if they are smart and educated or that not knowing how to breastfeed on your own without support is dumb. NOT TRUE.
From experience, breastfeeding is a challenge and does not always work out perfectly. I am a graduate student and consider myself intelligent. I still became frustrated and emotional when breastfeeding was not successful after my newborn came home from 13 days in intensive care at the hospital (not in NM).
