So throw it up there.

" Brand: Rosebud Perfume Co / Type: Lip Balm "
* Prices may differ from that shown
***Why I want the product?***
As everyone knows I have an obsession with lip products, whether it will be gloss, lipstick and most importantly lip balms/treatments.
In my last review I stated my love for Carmex Lip Balm and while this is true I felt I had to stray once more and delve into the world of Rosebud Perfume Co.
***About the company***
Rosebud Perfume Co was created in 1895 by George F. Smith in a small drug store, that quickly found them expanding into a large building that was formerly known as a hotel. Rosebud Perfume Co now ship to almost every country in the world.
Rosebud Perfume Co are known for the lip balms/salves in metal retro tins and Smith's Rosebud Salve is the best selling product to date but in 2011 they launched their new product Salve in a Tube.
***About the product***
Salve in a Tube comes in three different flavours/scents to tickle your taste buds. You have the original Smith's Rosebud Salve, Strawberry Lip Balm and Mocha Lip Balms. I have personally gone for the original Smith's Rosebud Salve in a Tube.
This world famous lip salve has been discovered by Hollywood stars and makeup artists and is their best kept secret. Rosebud Salve is still a favourite to aid chapped lips and dry skin. This little miracle can also be used on minor burns, dry cuticles and nappy rash, dry elbows...
***What ingredients are in Smith's Rosebud Salve?***
Cotton Sead Oil, Aromol, with a blend of trade secret essential oils blended in a special petrolatum base.
Lip balms that contain any type of petrolatum I usually hate, I always find this ingredient is more a barrier on the lips and does no moisturising what so ever, in fact I find this ingredient to dry my lips the more I apply. However, I knew this lip salve would be different due to all the five star rave reviews, celebrities and makeup artists loving it.
Rosebud Perfume Co are known for their vintage packaging, their tined balms are always in retro, vintage styles that grab the buyers attention. It makes you feel special and makes you feel like a lady.
The tube is no exception. This product comes in a 15ml white semi-opaque plastic squeezable tube. The design feels a little more modern than the tines but still has the retro/ vintage feel that makes you feel special. The front tells you about what the product is, the back tells you what the product contains and the expiry, which is a staggering 30 months!
The navy blue screw off lid is easy to take off and closes securely back into place with no mess.
***What does the product smell and look like?***
Because this product is in a tube and not the tin I find it has a more slidified texture that is softer than its tin, which is solid. Squeezing a small amount to the back of my hand the first thing that hits you is the smell, and a smell I cannot put my finger on. It smells minty, with a vanilla undertone with strawberries mixed in. It is not a horrible smell, more of a smell that is uplifting, refreshing and leaves you wanting to smell it more.
The colour is pale pink and the formula is soft and glossy without being sticky in anyway.
***Applying the product, and how it feels***
Applying the salve to my naked lips I am greeted with the softest and comforting feeling that really does glide on like a dream. The look from this salve looks like I have just applied an expensive gloss with a pink tint. The salve is none sticky and none waxy, which makes it, stand out for me. It really does feel like an expensive gloss has been applied with all of the moisturising benefits.
Only a tiny amount is necessary for it to glide over your entire lips.
As it is a softer formula than in the tin I find the product to transfer quicker, but this is only the first layer, which is a gloss. I find even though the gloss may have dimished a little the product is still there moisturising away until I need a little re-apply.
I love to apply a thicker amount before bed so the product can work uninterrupted for hours on end. I wake with soft, beautiful lips that are relieved of any dry, chapped or sore skin.
I have also mixed this salve with lipstick for extra shine and moisture. Rosebud have also stated on their website, during allergy and cold season, dab on a dry, irritated nose to relieve discomfort.
Another thing I love to do for a special treat is to apply the salve onto my cuticles at night. As the salve is a light moisturising formula it doesn't take long for the product to sink in with a little help of massage. My cuticles are left softer than any cuticle oil I have ever used.
***Price and availability***
I purchased this product from amazon.co.uk for £5.93.
***What I think about it/do I like it?***
Although the price may be expensive for some this really is a brilliant product, it really keeps my lips soft and moisturised for hours and feels a luxury to apply, whether it will be on your lips or cuticles like I use it. It softens my lips that well that actually look plumper, which is a first.
In all a fantastic product from Rosebud Perfume Co, and a product I will no doubt re-purchase.

A Level 3 sex offender who relocated to Carmel a week ago is on his way to a new residence after a furor was created due to the proximity of the convict's location to a nursery school and day care center.
Carmel Police reported last Friday that Lance Smith, 45, had moved into an apartment on 25 Seminary Hill Road in the vicinity of Church Street across the street from a day care center, less than one block from a nursery school and two blocks from St. James School.
Smith was arrested in June 2005 and convicted the following year for Criminal Sexual Act in the First Degree—a Class B felony carrying a maximum 25 year state prison term for becoming sexually involved with a "non-stranger female girl under the age of 11."
After spending just five years in state prison Smith was released on parole and according to Carmel Police is being supervised by the NYS Division of Parole.
A Level 3 sex offender is the most serious category and is considered the most likely to reoffend.
On Friday, State Senator Greg Ball was joined by Carmel officials who demanded that the Probation Department relocate Smith immediately.
Police Chief Michael Johnson said "sex offenders have to live someplace. They must be relocated where they will not have the temptation to repeat their crime."
Supervisor Kenneth Schmitt charged that "elected officials must take very step to ensure the health and safety and well being of our children whether they attend a daycare center, a nursery school or an educational facility. A convicted sex offender being located within a stone's throw of a daycare center is totally ludicrous. Children must be protected."
Senator Ball described the current state law relating to child safety zones as being "bone-headed. This is insanity. Loopholes must be closed by setting up a 1,000 foot barrier for all schools including pre schools and day care centers as well as parks and bus stops. Kids must be kept safe but it appears as though common sense has been lost in favor of a convicted sex offender. It's our duty and obligation as elected officials to keep children safe."
The New York State Sex Offender Registry lists 18 Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders as residents of Putnam County.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — The leader of Portugal's main opposition party says talks aimed at resolving a dispute over changes in the coalition government have failed.
The coalition nearly split July 2 when Foreign Minister Paulo Portas, the leader of the junior party, threatened to resign.
A compromise was reached when Portas was appointed deputy to Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho.
But President Anibal Cavaco Silva asked the government to reach a consensus with the Socialists, Portugal's leading opposition party.
On Friday, Socialist leader Antonio Jose Seguro said his party had left the talks.
He said Cavaco Silva must now accept the compromise agreement or call early elections.
The dispute caused turmoil on financial markets as fears arose over Portugal's ability to uphold the terms of its 78 billion euro ($102 billion) bailout.

Canterbury, England • While Christians waited to learn whether the Church of England would approve the consecration of women bishops, the church's governing body — the General Synod — quietly voted to drop all future references to the devil in a new baptism service.
The simplified wording was written after priests said the traditional service was unnecessarily complex and might confuse people who are not regular churchgoers.
In the traditional service, godparents are asked whether they are ready to renounce the devil and all his works for the sake of the child being baptized.
The new wording, approved Sunday, asks only whether parents and godparents will "turn away from sin" and "reject evil."

Ann Hirsch works in a diverse range of materials, from clay, resin and wood to bronze. Her work, both static and mobile, explores the merging of her formal figurative training with contemporary approaches and new materials.
Hirsch's work for public spaces is driven by a strong interest in 'theater' as the public presentation and meaningful organization of symbol, figure and space and by the integration of historical modalities with contemporary practices and perspectives. Her automata encourage viewer interaction through various mechanisms. Each work is an investigation into the narrative possibilities of the particular material, technique and site.
Hirsch earned a BA in Art History at Barnard College, a Master's degree from NYU and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art. She is the recipient of grants from the Mellon Trust of New England and the Prince of Wales Foundation and was recently awarded commissions for public artworks at Boston's City Hall Plaza for the Bill Russell Legacy Project and Patriot Plaza at Sarasota National Cemetery in Florida.

Then came Egypt. The spring semester had begun and I had to sneak away from my graduate studies and teaching obligations to check the New York Times every hour for updates on what was happening in Tahrir Square. This revolution took just 18 days, even faster than Tunisia. At Stony Brook, we made comparisons between Egypt 2011 and Tiananmen Square 1989, hoping that the outcome would be different this time, that the army would side with the revolution rather than the state. We were right, but then we were wrong. The Egyptian military did support the revolution, but then they held onto power and crushed dissent afterwards.
That anti-government protestors in Egypt were influenced and inspired by the Tunisian revolution spoke to a larger, transnational movement. We have come to call it the "Arab Spring."The Wikipedia account of the Arab Spring suggests the following rippling domino-effect of anti-government protests around North Africa and the Middle East. In January 2011, between the beginning of the Tunisian Revolution and that of the Egyptian Revolution, protests began in Algeria, Jordan, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. By February, the Yemeni Revolution had begun; the ongoing struggle for Bahrain began. The conflict in Libya also began in February, as did the conflict in Morocco and Western Sahara. Syria was perhaps the last major protest movement to begin, in March 2011. And of course it still continues as the focal point of the "Arab Spring" in the spring of 2012.
The transnationalism of this protest movement was of course facilitated by the internet. Indeed, the Arab Spring will be considered the first global protest movement that took advantage of social media technologies like Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. For example, one important way we in the United States learned about the revolutions was through the videos uploaded to Youtube and other file-sharing sites by activists and citizen journalists on the ground in Cairo and elsewhere. At some point, the editorial board of the New York Times had to decide whether they would use these videos or not; in the end, they decided to do it. The Lede Blog on the New York Times website was one website that I visited frequently to follow amateur video and twitter updates from the revolutions in Egypt and in Syria.
The transnationalism of this movement was also facilitated by widespread literacy and fluency in Arabic. Indeed, U.S. viewers of the Arab Spring only consumed a small fraction of the media output from these events. True, some videos whether in Arabic or English could simply speak for themselves - especially videos of violence. But it was harder to get involved and stay independently informed when one's options were either to poke around online trying to make sense of Arabic-language media, or rely on huge mainstream media outlets with professional correspondents in the Arab World.
Beyond the Arab Spring: the United States, Europe, and Global Revolution
The transnationalism of the Arab Spring was evident in the United States early on, in the public protests in support of collective bargaining rights and labor unions in Wisconsin beginning in February 2011. Those protests began on Valentine's Day, only three days in fact after Hosni Mubarak had fled Egypt, a milestone victory in the Egyptian Revolution. The protests in Madison grew in size until over 100,000 people were occupying the Capitol grounds (and occupying inside the Capitol building, too, with sleeping bags, food stations, etc.) in opposition to the Governor and the Republican-controlled Senate. (Democratic senators, meanwhile, were hiding across state lines in Illinois, believing - ultimately falsely - that they could prevent a vote by preventing a quorum.) On March 9, after approximately four weeks of daily public protest and occupation of the Wisconsin State Capitol, the Republican Senators passed the bill without the Democrats. The occupation of the Capitol building, in some form or another, continued into the summer of 2011.
From our view here in New York, the Wisconsin protests appeared as a resurgence of the dormant American left - the same left that had elected Barack Obama only then to discover that he wasn't as "left" as we had imagined him to be. It was during the Wisconsin protests in the spring of 2011 that I became more interested in my own union, the Graduate Student Employees Union. I attended some solidarity rallies in support of the Wisconsin protests, and was proud to raise my hand as a "proud union member!"
The occupation of the Capitol building and grounds in Madison, Wisconsin, in the spring of 2011 was influenced and inspired by the Arab Spring, particularly the occupation of Tahrir Square. But for whatever reason, the transnationalism stopped there, and no other cities in the United States developed Tahrir-style public protests or occupations at that time (despite some midwestern populaces also fighting to preserve collective bargaining rights for labor unions that spring in Ohio and Indiana).
In May 2011, the Arab Spring went transnational, again, as people in many European countries came to recognize that their anti-austerity fight was similar to the economic crises that had originally brought about the Tunisian and other revolutions across North Africa. The two strongest movements appeared in Spain and in Greece. In Spain, the Indignados movement began on May 15, 2011, and continues to this day. The Indignados movement featured an occupation of Madrid's Puerta del Sol, as well as occupations all across the country. The initial occupation began with only about 100 people at Puerta del Sol (not dissimilar from the numbers at the beginning of Occupy Wall Street). The occupation of Puerta del Sol featured a "general assembly," a decision-making body utilizing direct democracy and "consensus." This occupation continued officially through mid-June, but the Indignados movement continues to this day.

In summer 2011, while the Arab revolutions began to devolve into violence - or at least that was the perception here in the U.S. thanks to NATO's involvement in the Libyan War - anti-austerity protests began to sweep from Europe to the United States. In New York City, tens of thousands demonstrated in May in solidarity with a global call for anti-austerity protests. Hundreds of protestors established an occupation outside City Hall known as "Bloombergville"which lasted for at least two weeks in June 2011. The organizers of "Bloombergville" modeled their occupation on what they had seen in Tahrir Square in Egypt. Citing a court decision that stated that sleeping on the sidewalk was a constitutionally-protected form of free speech, hundreds - but sometimes only tens - slept on the sidewalk along Broadway downtown until the city passed an austerity budget anyway and then the protest fizzled out.
Over the next two months, July and August 2011, the New York City General Assembly formed. The assembly uses direct democracy and makes decisions based on consensus. The NYCGA was inspired by the assemblies that were held by the Indignados in Spain who used a similar model for self-governance. The goals are: transparency and horizontality - removing hierarchy and thus preventing the rise of authoritarian leaders. This is direct democracy, not representative democracy. Everyone has an equal voice and an equal vote. Assemblies were held in the summer to plan for a new occupation (since "Bloombergville" had then ended). The Canadian magazine Adbusters put out its famous "call" for an occupation of Wall Street in July.

The American (and Global) Autumn
Therefore, what we saw on September 17, 2011, in New York City, and then across the United States and across the world in October, was a model of public protest based in certain principles and strategies - like the physical occupation and the general assembly - that Americans had witnessed in action already from Tunis to Cairo to Madison to Madrid.
The transnationalism of Occupy Wall Street became especially clear on October 15, 2011 when a "Global Day of Action" occurred. According to Wikipedia's account of the day's events, over 950 cities in 82 countries witnessed globally-coordinated public protests in support of Occupy Wall Street. All told, several million people around the world participated. I was in Times Square that evening, as part of New York City's participation in this global event, where somewhere between 5,000 and 15,000 people came out and saw the headline "Occupy Wall Street Movement Goes Worldwide" projected onto the mainstream media billboards surrounding the square! Surreal.

The October 15, 2011 Global Day of Action marked one month of Occupy Wall Street and exactly five months since the beginning of the Indignados movement - thus showing the great influence the Spanish protests continued to have for Occupy and for the world's many revolutions. The day was not only about solidarity with Spain and NYC, though, but was also an opportunity for the world's most vibrant movements at the time, like Occupy Wall Street, to show solidarity with other movements around the world. For example, the most violent protests that day were in Italy where people were facing the same depressed economy and austerity measures facing Greece and Spain. We all supported each other's own national movements.
Tens of thousands also came out in Germany, where protests and occupations continue to this day, in opposition to austerity measures across Europe.
In London, protestors occupied the London Stock Exchange, beginning Occupy London, perhaps the strongest "Occupy" movement to emerge in Europe, and one - thanks to language similarities - that has been in frequent communication with Occupy Wall Street in New York.
This was also the day when most small-town "Occupy" movements in the United States began. Some, incredibly, continue to this day.
October 15, 2011 showed how the internet and social media could be utilized to organize a synchronized global protest involving millions of people in 82 countries. Wow.
In the Wake of Occupy: 2012
Following Occupy Wall Street's eviction from Zuccotti Park on November 15, 2011, as well as further high-profile evictions of other occupations throughout the United States in November and December, it was undeniable that the Occupy Wall Street movement shrunk in size and influence as we moved into the winter of 2011-2012.
By December 2011, the revolutions in the Arab World seemed deadlocked: many wondered if the Egyptian Revolution had, in fact, failed; Libya was "free," but only after tens of thousands had died in a bloody civil war aided by NATO bombs; the Syrian Revolution was now becoming a civil war. Meanwhile, Occupy Wall Street was dismantled by local police across this country, thanks, we now know, to local governmental coordination with the U.S. federal government, with federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, that tried their best to put an end to our popular movement.
But there was more...
After widespread electoral fraud in Russian elections on December 4, 2011, the largest anti-government protests in two decades came to Moscow. Tens of thousands rallied in a series of demonstrations throughout the winter against President Vladimir Putin and his ruling party. And when Putin cracked down on the protests this spring, people in Moscow developed new strategies, including an occupation in the style of Occupy Wall Street and leisurely strolls through the city involving tens of thousands of people!
There have also been ongoing student movements around the world. Last fall 2011, we in the U.S. were all in admiration of the student protests in Chile that involved hundreds of thousands of students. The students brought a creativity to their direct actions that have since been widely discussed and sometimes even adopted by Occupy Wall Street, including various forms of street theater. The Chilean protests involved student strikes and the occupation of, and shutting down, of universities.
While the Chilean student movement has appeared to quiet down in the winter of 2012 (which is, of course, summer in Chile), a new student movement has since begun in Quebec. The student strike in Quebec began with only a few departments at just one university declaring a strike in mid-February 2012. By mid-March the strike had included at least 150,000 students on an indefinite "general strike" that has paralyzed Montreal. At its peak in mid-March, the student protests have brought out hundreds of thousands of students and supporters into the streets. On May 18, one week ago, the provincial government of Quebec passed a bill known as "Bill 78" which criminalizes certain forms of public protest. Despite that fact that most academics and lawyers in Quebec believe the law is blatantly unconstitutional, the police of Montreal have already begun to enforce the law, arresting hundreds of students for the crime of engaging in political assembly without giving notice to authorities.
Hundreds of thousands of students march through Montreal, March 22, 2012

On May 22 (exactly two months since the march depicted in the photograph above), hundreds of thousands of Quebecers marched through Montreal in direct violation of Bill 78. In Toronto, Vancouver, Paris, and here in New York City, hundreds of people showed solidarity. That Occupy Wall Street organized solidarity actions and a march to support the striking students of Quebec, and that Occupy Wall Street has at least temporarily adopted the "red square" of the Printemps érable (Quebec's "Maple Spring" movement), shows that the transnational nature of these revolutions continues.
Transnationalism in the Streets
I share this brief interpretation of the history of the global revolutions of 2011-2012 as a historian but also as a participant. In the classroom, we talk about "transnationalism" all the time - as a historical phenomenon, for example, although of course we do not deny that transnationalism is an element of contemporary processes as well. Of course today's revolutions are not the world's first transnational revolutions. There was, of course, the great "Age of Revolution" in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when new nations formed through public protest, civil disobedience, and violence - for example, France, Haiti, almost all of the present nations of Latin America, and, of course, the United States. It took longer for those revolutions to influence each other, but that's because the transnationalism of the 18th and 19th century revolutions depended on the technology of sailing ships circulating letters and most importantly, people, who traveled between Europe, North America, and South America, and spread ideas. Some, like American radical Thomas Paine, even jumped into the fray elsewhere, as he did in revolutionary France.
But what is remarkable about today's "Age of Revolution" is not just the new technologies and the speed of transnational communications, but that people like myself - a teacher, a student, an activist - are aware that we are taking part in something that most of the time we have just talked about in class and studied in dusty history books. As a participant in a global revolution - of a very uncertain outcome, of course - it never ceases to amaze me how my own experiences of these movements either relates, or fails to relate, to the theories about human history that we so often promulgate in the classroom and in our scholarly publications.
The term "transnational" comes up all the time in my own work and in my seminars and teaching, but I had never really thought much about how it applied to my own life until I became involved in Occupy Wall Street.
It has taken me quite some time to recognize our movement's indebtedness to the Indignados of Spain. Our general assembly process - our commitment to direct democracy and consensus - this we learned in part from their experiments in Barcelona and Madrid. Our use of media - especially Youtube and Twitter - to overcome corporate media suppression and ignorance, is based on what we learned from Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Spain.
I remember on November 17, 2011, at a rally of thousands of students on strike at Union Square in New York City, hearing Egyptian students make use of the "human microphone" - where we amplify each other's voices through repetition - to tell us about the connections between their struggles in Egypt and ours here in New York. That fall, scores of Occupy Wall Street participants had planned to travel to Cairo to meet with some Egyptian revolutionaries and begin a conversation, but they eventually had to cancel that trip due to the sporadic violence in Cairo. Nevertheless, this conversation between Tahrir Square and Liberty Square (Zuccotti Park) was essential, and for me it was particularly inspiring.
From the Indignados (I assume), we adopted a Spanish-language chant: "A-anti-anti-capitalista," which has since become a favorite dance-chant of Occupy Wall Street participants. At a March 2012 action against Bank of America, I remember watching a group of Occupy Wall Street members dancing and chanting "A-anti-anti-capitalista" in front of a line of police. I overheard an NYPD officer say to the officer next to her, "I bet they don't even know what they are saying!" And to be honest, I, too, at first did not understand the chant. But now that I have learned that the chant is in Spanish, and not garbled English(!), I teach it to others at rallies and on marches.
"Anti-capitalista," among other chants, all mashed up with musical accompaniment by the Rude Mechanical Orchestra, May Day picket of Chase Bank, May 1, 2012, New York City
Using the Spanish language is not only important for continuing a dialogue with the Indignados in Spain, but also for reaching out to Hispanics in the United States. I am proud that Occupy Wall Street has now begun its own newsmagazine and website in Spanish for Spanish-language readers: Indig-Nación.
Two nights ago, as we showed our solidarity with the striking students of Quebec, we learned a French-language chant, "So-so-so-solidarité."
These are the little things - the multi-lingual chants and cardboard signs - that speak of the larger transnational and perhaps even dialectical relationships between Occupy Wall Street and other protest movements around the globe. We have all learned from each other and also teach one another. Critics will say that "the revolution is dead," or that it never even was, but it is clear to me that the crest of the revolution continues. If Tahrir Square was the focal point in Spring 2011, and Wall Street in Autumn 2011, then it is perhaps in Moscow or Montreal today where we should look for the continuation of this transnational struggle, even as so many struggles continue in many places where the foreign media has packed up and left while the revolution is still mid-stream.
My role in this transnational movement has of course been in attending assemblies and marching in the streets. But I am most proud of my work as a "citizen journalist." Inspired by the use of social media in the Arab Spring, I started a Youtube account last fall to post videos about Occupy Wall Street. I actually posted my first Youtube videos in a different account last summer (2011) while protesting at the New York State Capitol in the days preceding the Senate's vote on the Marriage Equality Act. (Interestingly, some of the activists I met advocating marriage equality have since appeared at Occupy Wall Street events in the city!) I thought, as in the Arab Spring, that it would be important to document our protests in Albany in support of marriage equality. So I made a Flickr page and a Youtube account and leapt into what were new realms of social media for me.
At Occupy Wall Street events, I always carry my camera. I take photos and videos. I have learned to videotape every arrest because my video can later be used in court to potentially vindicate falsely-accused protestors. I am constantly videotaping the police - not because I am paranoid, nor do I believe they regularly engage in "brutality"; they do not. I videotape the police because the NYPD frequently break the very laws they have sworn to protect, and I feel it is important to document that.
I have recently come to realize that I enjoy the role of "journalist" primary because I am a historian. I believe documentation is so important because if people in the past had not documented their own lives then we today could not attempt to understand history. Historians of Occupy Wall Street will not be lacking in data to interpret - indeed, I don't know how they will begin to make sense of the vast amount of data that has been produced since last September - but I do think I can add something to that. And I am not naive about the propaganda effect of my documentations. Yes, I am documenting history as it unfolds, but I also rush to upload my videos to Youtube because I recognize that this media is not just history, but also news! Often the professional news media mischaracterizes or just fails to mention an Occupy Wall Street event, and therefore my photos and videos can help inform potential audiences as to what in fact occurred.
"Citizen journalists" can tell stories that the corporate media ignores. For example, this photograph of mine captures a scene from New York City's May Day parade. The taxi cab reads: "No Disability Insurance. 15 Years on the Job. Garage Greed Shames Even Wall Street." Major news media outlets reported almost exclusively on May Day's arrests and violence, all the while neglecting the fact that a 10,000+ person march down Broadway occurred, and that the march was led not by hooded white male anarchists, but by immigrant taxi drivers, just one of the myriad constituencies participating in Occupy Wall Street as part of the "the 99%."
This gets to the crux of the matter of "citizen journalism," which is that, for all of us who use Facebook or Twitter or similar social networking platforms, we increasingly get our news from each other rather than through corporate media outlets like television or newspapers. I don't have time to read multiple newspapers, listen to podcasts, and watch videos all day, so I rely - as many young people do - on the gleanings of online friends to tell me what topics I should learn more about. When lots of friends "like" a particular article, photograph, or video, I am more likely to pay attention to it. This is partly why I take so many photos and videos at Occupy Wall Street events. My photos are not released publicly, but they still reach about three hundred friends on Facebook. My videos have, as of today, reached nearly 80,000 people! And, by the way, this very blog, "Pacific Dreams, New York Life," has in its two-year lifetime already reached over 20,000 people.
This "reach" - on the blog and on Youtube, for example - is incredibly transnational. This blog's readership is predominantly in the United States, but of the 20,000 who have viewed it, a few thousand reside elsewhere. Readership is especially noteworthy in Australia and New Zealand, thanks, I am sure, to the Pacific theme of much of my scholarship and teaching.
My reach on Youtube is also predominantly in the United States, but certain videos have taken off in foreign countries thanks to transnational social networking. My video of a musical ensemble from Brittany, France, performing on the outskirts of Zuccotti Park on the six-month anniversary of Occupy Wall Street (until the NYPD stopped them and threatened them with arrest), for example, has been viewed more times in France than in the United States. Based on comments posted on Youtube, it is apparent than many in Brittany were proud that musicians from their region had gone up against the NYPD in order to show their musical solidarité with Occupy Wall Street.

My latest video, of our New York solidarity march with the students of Quebec, has now been viewed over 40,000 times in just the past 36 hours! This is thanks to viewership in Canada, predominantly in Quebec, as noted by the hundreds of messages of merci and solidarité from viewers across the province. Certainly our solidarity action was meaningful with or without the transnational dialogue facilitated by Youtube. But the video helps us express our solidarité in a powerful way. Hundreds of students and supporters in Quebec have written to me saying that the video gives them renewed hope to continue marching and to continue fighting the Charest government. We were only two hundred New Yorkers in the streets, but we have mattered to 40,000 Quebec viewers and counting. Now that's solidarité.
"Solidarity with Striking Students of Québec," May 22, 2012, New York City
I end here, with great hope for the future. Wherever people are fighting against repression, against authoritarianism, against police brutality, against austerity, we should recognize our role - indeed, our responsibility - to support them. There are numerous ways to support these ongoing revolutions. Wherever you are, get involved with a local movement for social justice and democracy. Locate media sources that you trust, and remain informed about what is going on all over the world. Go online and read about the Arab Spring, about the Indignados, about the European debt crisis, about Occupy Wall Street. Look at photographs and watch videos. It is never too late to make a change, whether it is personal, collective, local, national, transnational, global, or even interplanetary! ;)

In a second round of user-needs tests, patrons of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), the Library of Congress's talking-book program, underscored the need for a system that is durable, lightweight, and easy to use.
"With each round of testing, NLS gains a deeper understanding of user and librarian needs, which helps us further refine player requirements and design," says Frank Kurt Cylke, NLS director. "Patron and librarian feedback is essential to building the best machine possible."
Sixty-nine current and potential patrons with varied visual, physical, and cognitive impairments participated in the study. Users ranged from children to seniors and were grouped by gender, age, and skill. Testing was facilitated by the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) in Baltimore and Cleveland and by the Trace Research and Development Center of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Interviews with library staff also yielded valuable insights into the cartridge and player's functionality.
"This series of usability tests was intended to see if engineers are getting the design right from the perspective of librarians and patrons," notes Michael Moodie, NLS deputy director. "From the results of these tests, we were able to validate and refine some requirements and turn them into specifications for the machine."
For the first time, users conducted operational tasks on models of talking-book cartridges and players. The models incorporated suggestions and feedback from initial user tests. While constructed of a special modeling foam, these models had functional buttons that were connected to actual digital talking-book recordings to simulate reading. This study is an essential part of the NLS project to convert its current cassette system to a digital flash-memory format by 2008.
More than 23 million copies of recorded and braille books and magazines were circulated to a readership of 799,718 in 2004. The International Union Catalog provides access to 423,500 titles (19 million copies). Audiobook readers borrow an average of 31 books and magazines a year. Braille readers average 20 books and magazines a year.
An overview of the NLS digital talking-book project may be found in Current Strategic Business Plan for the Implementation of Digital Systems at www.loc.gov/nls/businessplan/index.html. For enrollment information, visit www.loc.gov/nls or call 1-888-NLS-READ (1-888-657-7323).

Salon Essie It's been almost 20 years since Essie set off for a three-month vacation from Iran. She decided to stay here, and seven years ago, she opened her salon on Richmond. You'll still catch the enchanting lilt of Farsi fluttering through the store in between casual banter with her customers. Men's haircuts all too often become a painful exercise in forced pleasantries or chillingly apathetic silences. Salon Essie soars above all of that with gracious, swift service. We especially miss the departed Paul -- the gregarious Lebanese stylist who's quite possibly the nicest guy in Houston to snip, shave and shape our locks. Dudes might still balk at the prospect of getting trimmed up anyplace without a candy-cane barbershop pole outside; but let your inner metro open the door, and Essie will take care of the rest.
McGowen Cleaners Young professionals in the know swear by this particular dry cleaner, which is nestled in the Montrose area just west of Dunlavy. And it's not because McGowen offers any gimmicks or a particularly sexy product; it's simply good at cleaning, dryly. One customer swears they can get out any stain. Another notes that they've never once broken a button -- which, alas, is more than we can say about some of their competitors. It's also endlessly reliable: If you give McGowen your clothes, you'll get them back, clean and on time. And isn't that the point?
Heights Floral Shop Established in 1935, Heights Floral Shop is one of the oldest florists in Houston. Age doesn't always indicate excellence (just ask any Hollywood agent), but this family-owned and -operated flower joint is thriving more vibrantly than ever. Take this summer, for example. While many florists reduce their employees' hours during the balmy months, this cozy old house on 20th has its crew working as much as ever. "We do a lot of funerals," says in-house designer Jimmy Castillo. Their beautiful fresh arrangements, Tuscan pottery and lush houseplants not only comfort the bereaved and give hope to the ill in Heights Hospital across the street, but they also give brides that special blush and beautify family celebrations. And through it all, the folks at Heights Floral Shop remain approachable and modest.
Spectacles on Montrose Like the librarian type? Then pop out those contact lenses, man. LASIK is vanity, but eyewear is fashion, and the folks at this friendly boutique can fix you up with the sexiest specs in town. Spectacles on Montrose offers a sprawling variety of über-chic styles, and owners Evan Mape and Corey Theige make choosing a pair a blast. Need an eye exam? No problem. Step in the back, and Dr. Mape will give your peepers a once-over. Unlike other doctors, he'll let you play with that monstrous mechanical eye machine, and he'll even allow you to peer into your sweetie's cornea. You'll never look into that pair of eyes in the same way.
Central Market At Howard E. Butt's megamart, Central Market, there are enough varieties of coffee beans to make Starbucks and Juan Valdez very jealous. The coffee buyers at Houston's gourmet paradise scour the globe to bring you the finest in roasted bulk beans. Blends from Zimbabwe, Kenya and Ethiopia sit alongside beans from Honduras, Costa Rica and Mexico. On each coffee name placard you'll find a helpful description of its flavor. The San Fran blend, for instance, is great for those seeking "good acidity and a spicy lingering aftertaste." Looking for a cup with a fruity aroma and smoky finish? That'd be the mustang blend. And if International Delight creamers aren't cutting it for you, Central Market offers a healthy stock of flavored beans (tiramisu, coconut cream and Texas pecan). Grinders are provided on site, so you can bust up your beans in the traditional style or pulverize them into dust for your French press. If you just don't know where to start, there are samples available and coffee experts on staff.
Takeout Taxi For those times when getting dressed to go out takes too much effort and yet you're tired of zapping your food, you may think your only option is Domino's or Chinese. But you don't have to settle for oversalty kung pao chicken or limp pizza ever again, since the good folks at Takeout Taxi are willing to do all the legwork for you. For a $4.99 delivery fee, Takeout Taxi delivers dishes from more than 100 different restaurants. There's a $15 minimum, but that's not bad, considering you can get Otto's rib plates, Mama Ninfa's carnitas or La Strada's Angus steak salad delivered right to your door.

In this week's installment: learning to paraglide from YouTube videos, attempted robbery with a caulk gun, and how to win a $1,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of a $20 doormat.
Curses, Foiled Again
Authorities investigating a burglary in King County, Wash., found that in addition to a digital camera, laptop computer, iPod and DVD player, the intruder took clean clothes and left behind his soiled underwear, jeans and shoes. Sheriff's Detective Cary Coblantz said he "specifically requested that the underpants be analyzed for a DNA profile," which identified a 39-year-old man with a long criminal history as the suspect. He was already in jail for several counts of residential burglary but had been out on bail when the underpants burglary occurred.
German authorities reported that robbers who tried to blow up a bank cash machine in Malliss miscalculated and wound up reducing the bank to rubble, completely obliterating its roof and damaging cars and buildings within a 100-yard radius. The only thing left intact was the cash machine. "Something evidently didn't work the way the robbers wanted it to," police official Niels Borgmann said, noting, "The explosion was so big, they had to run away without the money."
Classical Gas
A German sewage-treatment plant is saving $1,200 a month by using the music of Mozart to motivate microbes to break down waste faster. "We think the secret is in the vibrations of the music, which penetrate everything—including the water, the sewage and the cells," said Anton Stucki, chief operator of the Treuenbrietzen plant. "It creates a certain resonance that stimulates the microbes and helps them to work better." Stucki believes Mozart works because the composer "managed to transpose universal laws of nature into his music."
Not So Much Fly As Plummet
Having paid $440 on eBay for a paraglider, Britain's Roy Dixon, 45, learned to fly it by watching video clips on the Internet. For his maiden flight, he also made the mistake of tethering the paraglider to his car. The flight lasted less than a minute, and he fell 40 feet to the ground, breaking his back in two places. "I went shooting up in the air, then banged down on the ground," Dixon said from Newcastle General Hospital. "I should have joined a club and got lessons, but I was trying to teach myself and learn from bits I had seen on YouTube,"
Homeland Insecurity
Firefighters responding to a fire in Jersey City, N.J., found no one at home in the apartment, where a pot on the stove had boiled dry and cloth inside had ignited. They also found 60 to 80 half-gallon containers of unknown substances and an envelope with President Obama's name on it, triggering a massive response by Secret Service agents and a hazardous materials unit. When the apartment resident returned, he said he must have forgotten to turn off the stove burner when he walked to the store. The 80-year-old man explained he uses the chemicals to make perfume, which he sells for a living.
Duty First
David Boruchowitz, a sheriff's detective in Nye County, Nev., was charged with burglary and assault to try to harass candidates for public office after an investigation, which he conducted himself. Boruchowitz, who handles media relations for the sheriff's office, issued a press release about his arrest, accompanied by his booking photo, that noted his duties include investigating and arresting people who commit crimes, "no matter who they may be."
When Guns Are Outlawed
Police in Austin, Texas, accused Jose Alejandro Romero, 17, of trying to rob a gas station with a caulk gun. Clerk Johnnie Limuel, 68, thought it was a joke, until the robber hit him with the caulk gun. Limuel responded by hitting the robber with a plastic trashcan. According to the police affidavit, Romero fled empty-handed, accompanied by a transgender prostitute.
Google Map Follies
The Louisiana Senate unanimously approved a bill that would increase penalties for crimes committed with the aid of a "virtual street-level map." The Internet-generated maps show the locations or pictures of homes and other buildings. The measure would add at least 10 years to sentences where virtual maps are used to commit acts of terrorism and at least one year in jail for burglary.
Slightest Provocation
Police investigating a stabbing at a home in Northport, Ala., said the attack occurred after two men got into an argument over how many championship rings basketball coach Phil Jackson has. The 30-year-old victim required stitches. Jackson, 64, now has 13 championship rings—two as a player and 11 as a coach.
Slick Solutions
A scientist proposed protecting the Louisiana wetlands from British Petroleum's Gulf of Mexico oil slick by having the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers open existing dams to divert more water toward the mouth of the Mississippi River. Calling the river "the biggest tool in the toolbox," marine scientist G. Paul Kemp, vice president of the National Audubon Society's Louisiana Coastal Initiative, explained upstream flooding to increase the river's flow into the Gulf could not only block the inland flow of oil, but also help flush oil that has already collected on the fringes of the marshes.
After Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., urged BP America President Lamar McKay to resign, Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao, R-La., suggested a harsher course of action. "In the Asian culture, we do things differently," the Vietnamese-American lawmaker told McKay. "During the Samurai days, we just give you a knife and ask you to commit hara-kiri."
Spendthrift Conservatives
Critics derided Canada's government for spending nearly $2 million to build a media center in Toronto for reporters unable to cover the Group of Eight global economic summit in Huntsville, 140 miles to the north, which could accommodate only about 150 of the 3,000 journalists assigned. "This is supposed to be a meeting about dealing with the international debt crisis," opposition lawmaker Mark Holland said. "We're supposed to be leading the world in showing austerity, and we invite them to our doorsteps to sit around a $2 million dollar fake lake." Prime Minister Stephen Harper insisted the lake, which is only a few blocks from Lake Ontario, is really only a reflecting pool intended to promote tourism.
Justice at Any Price
Now Advanced Metal Technologies in East Spokane, Wash., offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the identity of whoever stole its doormat, worth $20.

Aviation experts say lives are being put at risk by youths flashing laser pens at incoming flights to Cardiff Airport.
Statistics from the Wales Air Forum, which has provided a voice for the industry since its creation in 2011, reveal there have been 10 incidents of pilots being stunned by light from a laser this year.
A spokesman for the Air Forum said there were also 28 incidents reported on flights arriving or departing Cardiff Airport in 2011.
The spokesman said "Aircraft are particularly vulnerable during critical phases of flight, such as take-off and landing.
"Any distraction to a pilot's attention during these phases is dangerous.
"An aircraft on final approach at 1,000ft has around one minute before it reaches the threshold of the runway and touches down.
"A pilot dazzled by a laser can be blinded for up to 10 seconds followed by over a minute of impaired vision."
Individuals caught shinning a laser at an aircraft can now be charged with the specific offence of targeting an aircraft in flight with a laser of light.
The maximum penalty is a fine up to £5,000, and/or five years imprisonment.
Two such incidents have been recorded in Cardiff in the past two months.
On August 14 an airbus A320 seating 180 passengers suffered a laser attack while on its final approach at Cardiff Airport.
It is believed that the light was shone from the Caerphilly area.
On August 21 a 21-year-old offender from the Ringland Centre in Newport was arrested in the Ely area of Cardiff for shining a laser at an aircraft.
He was sentenced to six months imprisonment at a young offenders' institution after pleading guilty to recklessly or negligently acting in a manner likely to endanger an aircraft at Cardiff Crown Court.
Inspector Gary Smart, who oversees the Air Support Unit for South Wales and Gwent Police, said at the time: "People shine laser pens with no concept of the risks imposed to the crew and the public as a result.
"The reality is that shining lasers at the aircraft can have fatal consequences.
"We take this extremely seriously and will continue to take action to prosecute anyone carrying out this offence."
Inspector Smart added: "We're hoping parents will see this message so they can remind their children, if they have access to laser pens, not to use them irresponsibly."

Clunking in Front end
Just recently, I noticed that when I drive over a bump or my dirt road I'll hear a clunking noise near the front end, and occasionally the back end. :banghead: I had strut problems with my previous car and it sounds almost exactly the same...I'm thinkin its the shock absorbers because when you rock the Jeep back and forth, it'll take a while for it to stop. :doh: I was thinking of getting a 2 inch spacer lift kit with new shocks. Think this will help?
And if anyone was curious, yes a Jeep will make it through a 6' snow drift without four wheel drive engaged...Yup.
If its your shocks that are making the noise, then yes it will probably go away if you get new ones. If its your sway bar bushings or any of the other possibilities, then it probably won't go away with new shocks. If you are planning to get the spacers and shocks anyways, then that would let you know if that was the problem. My sway bar actually slid over far enough for the bolt to wear a groove in the frame and it was clunking on the part of the shock mount that is welded to the frame right by it.
Check your sway bar, the little ball joint that the factory link uses is known to separate.
^^^ x2
I had a very similar "clunking" sound recently, sway bar joints needed to be replaced. Normal wear and tear. Check the condition of the boots, if they are cracked, then its time to be replaced.
Just took a look at the sway bars and they seem to be fine, joint and all. I'll get the lift kit and if that doesn't solve my problem, it was a good excuse to get it. I probably won't be able to install it since I have 2 feet of snow in my driveway though...Is it worth have a mechanic do it?
It's almost never worth having a mechanic do the work. Depends on what size lift you want. If its small just do it yourself they are simpler than you think. If you don't feel confident in your abilities or have any doubts only then would i consider having a mechanic do the work. Also, I would double check the sway bar links even though you said they look fine. My jeep just had the same problem a couple months ago, the joints may look fine, but they can still be damaged.
2 inch spacer lift is a simple as it gets. I installed one on my jeep this spring. Me and my body got it done in about 3 hours. (no air tools or spring compressors :( ) It was very easy. Neither of us had any mechanical experience. Don't even consider a mechanic. And you may as well get new links for the sway bar, because after you lift it, the stock ones will most likely break.
In order to do the lift you need to have jack stands, a floor jack and basic hand tools. 2 jacks stands and 2 floor jacks make life nice. You can support the frame and using the floor jacks raise and lower either side of the axle you are working. Make sure you get jack stands that have ample capacity and are tall enough to support the frame and allow the axle to droop all of the way without the rotors hitting the ground.
The most difficult part will be the upper front shock studs. I just cut them off rather than fighting with them.
Mine does this..especially going over railroad tracks. I can feel something bouncing in the front end under my feet.
I guess I could try doing it myself. It's just that everything it covered in ice right now and I don't have a flat driveway. I could probably find somewhere to do it though. Do you think I could lift up the front or rear end of the Jeep with a Hi Lift Jack?
No High Lift, as stated above.
Get everything you need for the lift together before starting. Gather every tool, make sure you have the sockets, wrenches, extensions, vice grips, WD40/PB Blaster, a meands to cut off the upper shock studs after you round off the nuts....
A couple of days before you plan to do it, spray every nut and bolt you need to remove with you choice of penetrating oil. Do it again the night before working.
Installing a spacer or basic spring lift is EASY. What will cause the frustration is trying to free up stuck bolts and not having the right tools.

What a difference! To see properly you have to get really close to a part (like the other 10x monocle mags I saw), but I can live with that. It's comfortable and sits nicely over my glasses.

Nice, this is one of these "why didn't I think of that first?" cases. Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one to think that this looks almost steampunk-ish.

text: NFL draft preview: Cornerbacks 10:40 AM CDT on Thursday, April 16, 2009 By RICK GOSSELIN / The Dallas Morning News rgosselin@************** STRENGTH: 6 WEAK STRONG A cornerback has not been drafted in the Top 10 since 2005. The Class of 2009 likely will extend that drought to four consecutive drafts. There's plenty of size and speed on the cornerback board but so few of the prospects have both. Player School Ht. Wt. Noteworthy Malcolm Jenkins Ohio St 6-0 204 Thorpe Award winner Vontae Davis Illinois 5-11 203 4.40 speed in the 40 Darius Butler Connecticut 5-10 183 4-year starter Alphonso Smith Wake Forest 5-9 193 21 career interceptions Jairus Byrd Oregon 5-10 207 Son of former NFL CB Gill Byrd Sean Smith Utah 6-3 ½ 214 Biggest corner in the draft Kevin Barnes Maryland 6-0 187 4.45 speed in the 40 Bradley Fletcher Iowa 6-0 196 152 career tackles Jerraud Powers Auburn 5-9 188 16 career passes broken up Chris Owens San Jose St. 5-9 ½ 181 13 career interceptions Asher Allen Georgia 5-9 ½ 194 Also returns kickoffs Keenan Lewis Oregon St 6-0 ½ 208 Started 47 college games Coye Francies San Jose St. 6-0 185 Oregon State transfer Brandon Hughes Oregon St 5-10 ½ 182 4.40 speed in the 40 D.J. Moore Vanderbilt 5-8 ½ 192 Two-time All-SEC Potential first-round draft picks in bold Spotlight on: Chris Owens, San Jose State Competition brings out the best in any athlete. It certainly brought out the best in San Jose State cornerback Chris Owens. Owens started for three seasons – two opposite his former roommate Dwight Lowery and last year opposite Coye Francies. They all drove each other to become better. "We were really competitive," Owens said. "In practice we'd really go at it, see who could get the most picks, who had the most hits, who had the most tackles. ... Then we just carried it over into the game." Lowery led the NCAA with a school-record nine interceptions in 2006. Owens picked off four passes on the other side of the field. Lowery intercepted four passes in his senior season in 2007 and Owens led the WAC with six. Lowery became a fourth-round pick of the New York Jets last April and wound up starting 10 games as a rookie, intercepting one pass. Owens benefited immensely from playing those two seasons with a future pro. "I saw his work ethic and study habits," Owens said. "We'd go home and watch film and that was something new to me. Dwight helped make me a better player." Owens served as team captain as a senior and earned All-WAC honors, despite intercepting a career-low one pass. Francies earned second-team All-WAC acclaim with his three interceptions. Both project as mid-round draft picks. The Best: Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State Malcolm Jenkins started three years at Ohio State and was an All-Big Ten pick each season. He has the size the NFL covets to line up against players like Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson. Because of the physical nature of his game (173 career tackles) and borderline speed (4.51), some NFL teams project him as a safety. But cornerback or safety, Jenkins is all about winning. In his last six football seasons as a starter, he played in three state title games in high school and two national championship games in college. Sleeper: Don Carey, Norfolk State Carey started 42 games in his four seasons and was a two-time All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference selection. He also was a three-time academic All-MEAC. He started his first 1 ½ seasons at safety, then moved over to corner. His ability to play two positions increases his value on draft day. So does his productivity – he intercepted 10 career passes. Best of Texas: Brice McCain, Utah The Terrell product started three years and was selected second-team All-Mountain West in 2008. He's the fastest cornerback on the draft board with a 4.33 clocking in the 40-yard dash at his campus workout. McCain (5-9, 181) also returns kickoffs, averaging 22.8 yards in his career. Draft projection: Mid-rounds Notable: Family affair: Jairus Byrd isn't the only CB in this draft with a father who played in the NFL. Western Michigan CB Londen Fryar is the son of Irving Fryar, the NFL's 13th all-time leading receiver. Others with family connections: Vontae Davis is the younger brother of San Francisco TE Vernon Davis. Darius Butler is the nephew of former Saints S Gene Atkins and the cousin of Ravens RB Willis McGahee. Miami's Bruce Johnson is the nephew of Seahawks CB Kelly Jennings. In a rush: Virginia Tech's Victor "Macho" Harris was a 2,346-yard rusher in high school at Highlands Springs, Va., and Boston College's Kevin Atkins was a 2,065-yard rusher as a prep in Lansdale, Pa. Underclassmen: Eight juniors bolstered the cornerback board: Asher Allen, Jairus Byrd, Vontae Davis, D.J. Moore, Jerraud Powers, Sean Smith, Captain Munnerlyn of South Carolina and Donald Washington of Ohio State. Legends: Alphonso Smith leaves Wake Forest as the leading interceptor in school history and the leader in ACC history with 21. Central Florida's Joe Burnett and Cincinnati's Mike Mickens were also their school's all-time leading interceptor. Top 10: Smith also set marks for passes broken up (40) and passes defensed (61). Here's a list of the top interceptors in this draft: Player School Int. Alphonso Smith Wake Forest 21 Jairus Byrd Oregon 17 Joe Burnett C. Florida 16 Macho Harris Va. Tech 15 Mike Mickens Cincinnati 14 D.J. Moore Vanderbilt 13 Chris Owens San Jose 13 DeAngelo Smith Cincinnati 12 Malcolm Jenkins Ohio St. 11 Speed to burn: Malcolm Jenkins was a state 400 meters champ as a high schooler in New Jersey and Mike Mickens won the 300 meters as a prep in Ohio. Stanford's Wopamo Osaisai was the Pac 10's 100-meter champ in 2008. Mr. Versatility: D.J. Moore was an all-state performer at wide receiver in football, point guard in basketball and as a high jumper in track at Broome High School in Spartansburg, S.C. He won state championships in all three sports.

Hardy vs Reiner - back in the UK
CWFC fans who were unhappy over the recent USA event where 2 of the 4 UK vs USA scheduled bouts were cancelled on the night will be pleased to learn that at least one of the missing fights is back on.
As Warrior Promotions have at their own expense organised for the controversial Hardy vs Reiner bout to be staged at the upcoming Enter the Rough House 6 in Nottingham UK on April 19th
Hardy was already scheduled to fight and face Mattias Awad at the event. Awad has kindly agreed to change at the last moment and he will now fight 'Judo' Jim Wallhead, another Rough House veteran & Warrior Promotions fighter.
Andy Lillis, Fight Director of Cage Warriors commented 'this was probably the easiest match to make given how much these two fighters want to get in the cage together - all we had to do was pay!'
Thanks also to Mattias Awad who graciously swapped opponents so late in the card and we hope everyone attending and viewing the event gets treated to a great night of MMA action'.
Hardy & Reiner were sorely disappointed on the night of March 29th when the final two bouts of the evening were cancelled due to circumstances beyond the promoter's control. This also affected the Winner vs Roddy bout and caused much gnashing of teeth from the UK fans and fighters who had come a long way for half a card.
It will be confirmed later whether this fight will be an official title bout for the vacant Cage Warriors Fighting Championship Welterweight Belt - when asked if it would be for a title, Hardy, already Light Welterweight Champion quipped 'I hope so, then I can have two, one for each shoulder'.

The Night Before Christmas: A Goblin Tale
Did you know that goblins celebrate Christmas too? In this rambunctious, funny take on the time-honored holiday poem by Clement C. Moore, a feisty family of goblins is bursting with anticipation for, that's right, Santa's yearly visit. Only in this home the visions of sugarplums look suspiciously like sugarbeetles, and that's not the only thing that's different. In gleeful, glowing illustrations, Jacqueline Rogers perfectly captures the Christmas spirit of the classic poem while adding plenty of her own visual mischief. Children both naughty and nice will chuckle at this portrait of a most unusual Christmas Eve! Illustrated by Jacqueline Rogers.

Examining the effects of an eco-driving message on driver distraction
Rouzikhah, Hossein, King, Mark, & Rakotonirainy, Andry (2013) Examining the effects of an eco-driving message on driver distraction. Accident Analysis and Prevention, 50, pp. 975-983.
Accepted Version
(PDF 234kB)
This paper examines the effects of an eco-driving message on driver distraction. Two in-vehicle distracter tasks were compared with an eco-driving task and a baseline task in an advanced driving simulator. N = 22 subjects were asked to perform an eco-driving, CD changing, and a navigation task while engaged in critical manoeuvres during which they were expected to respond to a peripheral detection task (PDT) with total duration of 3.5 h. The study involved two sessions over two consecutive days.
The results show that drivers' mental workloads are significantly higher during navigation and CD changing tasks in comparison to the two other scenarios. However, eco-driving mental workload is still marginally significant (p ∼ .05) across different manoeuvres. Similarly, event detection tasks show that drivers miss significantly more events in the navigation and CD changing scenarios in comparison to both the baseline and eco-driving scenario. Analysis of the practice effect shows that drivers' baseline scenario and navigation scenario exhibit significantly less demand on the second day. Drivers also can detect significantly more events on the second day for all scenarios. The authors conclude that even reading a simple message while driving could potentially lead to missing an important event, especially when executing critical manoeuvres. However, there is some evidence of a practice effect which suggests that future research should focus on performance with habitual rather than novel tasks. It is recommended that sending text as an eco-driving message analogous to the study circumstances should not be delivered to drivers on-line when vehicle is in motion.

Tracking advice?
So we're currently working our way towards our BH, expecting to get it at the club's September trial (Berlin, 15 months).
We havent done a ton of tracking work. I will be speaking with my trainer on Sunday about doing more. But for now, I've simply been stomping out big circles in the grass, marking 3 sides with a flag, dropping hot dogs or other high value treats behind me as I stomp, and then leading him up to the circle, commanding "track", and releasing him. He seems to be doing good staying on the circle and sniffing out the treats.
I'm not an expert on tracking but my dog is pretty consistent. The first thing I would do is go to one flag to indicate the presence of a scent circle/start of track, and remove the others. The 2nd and 3rd flag are visual indicators of the edge of the circle and you don't want the dog to become accustomed to that. You want them to use the nose to determine that.
I use one flag and I pull the dog off before he gets all the food, so he doesn't wander around and get bored. Are you doing circle tracks or scent pads? If I do scent pads, they aren't that big (maybe 4'x4').
Circle tracks, we've yet to do anything with scent pads. And yes, I do pull him off before he is done to avoid him losing interest.
Good idea about the flag, I never thought about that
I was taught that scent circles are the beginning foundation. Step 2 would be dial outs, or straight lines leading out of the circle (one per circle). Step 3, once the dog understands footstep tracking is to introduce articles separately from the track.
Since you are doing schutzhund/IPO tracking, you might want to consider that all trial tracks will be straight lines with 90 degree corners. Not sure how circle tracks would benefit you.
Scent boxes, circle tracks, serpentines, stair tracks and other ideas teach the dog to work the scent carefully and not just blow down the track until they lose scent (hit a corner).
Agreed but wouldn't they be added once a foundation has been established?
Not necessarily. Some trainers do these from the start to create correct behaviors and then mix them in for the life of the dog.
Different strokes, I guess. We go from scent circles to dial outs to the long table. You can't exactly serpentine up there.

I *WAS* of the opinion that "hot-rodding" was pretty much a baby-boomer phenomenon ... but there are lots of young guys on this board that are proving me wrong. For their sake, I hope the government stays out of this hobby.
As far as the "global warming" aspect goes ... I don't know. Based on what I perceive to be a percentage of "smoke-belching old cars" on the road at any given time, I don't think they're hurting much.
Most of us are driving "emissions-friendly" newer vehicles as our "daily drivers" and just pull the rods out when we need an adrenaline fix, aren't we?
Besides ... most of us will keep our "old iron" (pride and joy) in a better state of tune now than most were back in the 60's and 70's.
Point ignition is pretty much history, as well, and I believe that was a cause of a lot of unburned HC's.
On a related note, I hate to think of what it will take for the average Joe to be a hot-rodder when the 2006 vehicles become the "hot-rod" of the future.
Cripes ... everything is crammed in like a plumber's (and electrician's) nightmare ... and replacement *assemblies* cost an arm and a leg. For example. there are no "wheel bearings" any more ... you have to fork out $300.00+ for a hub assy.
Parts prices for "creature comfort" items are just bizarre. I looked up a DVD player for an (off-warranty) 2003 Ford Expedition (Eddie Bauer version) today. Although the Exped is a very nice vehicle, buying one of these at nearly $8,000.00
would probably just about double it's value.

>Practice fields at Mankato improved
If you're going to Mankato for training camp this summer perhaps the biggest change fans might notice has to do with the practice fields. The practice complex has been totally renovated and the fields, which previously had a 4% grade have been shaved down to a 1.5% grade. New sod, a new drainage system and a new sprinkler system have also been installed. The steep 4% grade had been an issue for the Vikings and the renovation solves that problem. The cost for the upgrades was approximately $400,000 and was shared by the Vikings and the university.
>Longwell an exceptional golfer
Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell is not just a NFL player, but he is also an excellent golfer. He is ranked among Golf Digest's top 220. In fact among current and former pro athletes he comes in tied for No. 6 with a 1.8 handicap.
>Confidence in Jackson high at Winter Park
It's true that second-year quarterback Tarvaris Jackson has a lot to prove this season, but according to Sid, the people that matter most at Winter Park have great confidence in him. "Well, time will tell on that," Vikings VP Rick Spielman said. "I know coach [Brad] Childress and the organization have the upmost confidence in the kid, and he's going to have some growing pains, but he has all the tools to hopefully be successful for us."
>Vikings' interior line ranked second in NFC
The Vikings' interior offensive line of Steve Hutchinson, Matt Birk and Artis Hicks ranks No. 2 according to this TSN report, behind only the Bears' trio of Olin Kreutz, Ruben Brown and Roberto Garza.
>Williams gives back with free camp
All-Pro DT Pat Williams (photo) conducted a free football camp at Sterlington High School in Monroe, La. this weekend. Williams will spend another week in Monroe with his family and friends before returning to Minnesota to continue training for the 2007 season.
>Studwell is 'king' for a day in Packer country
Vikings director of college scouting and his family will be honorary guests for an annual festival on Bone Lake in Wisconsin, deep in the heart of Packers' country, on July 7.
>Doss camp a success
Vikings safety Mike Doss hosted his free football camp this weekend in his hometown of Canton, Ohio. "The most important thing is the kids," he says in this story. "It's all a free camp. The Mike Doss Foundation, it's my vision. This is the second year running, and I just hope I can keep it going. Someone did this for me when I was young. I just want to do it for the next group and feel like I'm giving back."
>Spach helps out with former teammates' football camp
Free agent TE Stephen Spach helped out with former Fresno State teammate Cameron Worrell's camp this weekend.
>Gaither could get second-round consideration
Maryland junior OT Jared Gaither could get second-round consideration in the NFL supplemental draft on July 12. It will be interesting to keep tabs on the Vikings' interest in the huge (6-9, 350 pounds) tackle with a ton of upside potential.
>Acceptance in Pittsburgh coming slowly for Tomlin
People in Vikingland loved him, but it sounds like the folks in Pittsburgh are still hesitant to embrace new head coach Mike Tomlin.
