Skateboarding is born in Venice, California in the mid-1970s when local teenagers swap surf for tarmac. But sponsorship deals and international fame drive a wedge between former friends who are in danger of losing sight of their sports rebellious roots.
Hot on the wheels of skateboarding documentary Dogtown And Z-Boys comes Hollywood's fictional version of the same true story – a reflection of a reflection of reality. Is that a '360 Kickflip' too many for the judges? No, because, if anything, Lords Of Dogtown gives a more vivid impression of what it must have been like to hang out with the coolest kids on the block.
As an insider from the original Zephyr Team, Stacy Peralta was in prime position to source matchless archive footage and one-on-one interviews for his documentary. Peralta's screenplay credit guarantees authenticity here, but Catherine Hardwicke – director of Thirteen – plays to different strengths, emphasising mood, drama and acting. In her hands, Heath Ledger delivers his first truly adult performance as burnt-out hippie Skip Engblom, while Emile Hersch nudges the young ensemble cast into deeper and darker emotional territory as troubled skater Jay Adams.
Anyone less than overwhelmed by the documentary will think they've been here before: the skating tricks become repetitive and again the soundtrack is an iPod shuffle of 70s rock (stick around for Sparklehorse's cover of 'Wish You Were Here' on the closing credits). Fans, however, will discover that the original's history of the sport has been fleshed out with a focus on the people and their problems.
A hanging-out movie thats as close as youll ever get to soaking up the time, the place and the attitude. Too slack for mainstream audiences, though.

Huckabee violating Fox News' reported order to stop conflict of interest promotions
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
New year, same Fox News ethics.
On December 21, the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz reported that Fox executives told host Mike Huckabee to stop plugging his website "on the air after learning that it linked to his political action committee, which the network deemed a conflict of interest":
His HuckPAC has been involved in local races, raising $305,000 in this campaign cycle. His Web site urges followers to "Vote No Against Senate Health Care Bill" and invites fans to join him and his wife, Janet (for just $3,999!), on a tour of Israel next month. Fox executives told Huckabee to stop plugging the Web site on the air after learning that it linked to his political action committee, which the network deemed a conflict of interest.
As we've noted, Huckabee has used his Fox News program to promote the website "balancecutsave.com," which redirects visitors to a web page soliciting donations for Huckabee's political action committee.
Huckabee's personal website, MikeHuckabee.com, actively promotes and links to his political action committee. The large and small HuckPAC graphics and "Vote No ..." graphic direct readers to HuckPAC.com.
But despite his bosses' reported order to stop promoting a website that "link[s] to his political action committee," Huckabee promoted MikeHuckabee.com on his program last Saturday:
Huckabee's FoxNews.com website also promotes MikeHuckabee.com:

Sunscreen creams may not be protecting people against the harmful rays that can cause skin cancer, according to new research.
Even when the creams are rubbed on in the correct dosage ultraviolet A (UVA) light still penetrates, causing changes in the skin that can lead to the skin cancer melanoma and premature ageing, scientists from a medical research charity have found.
Cases of malignant melanoma have doubled every ten years since the 1950s and the cancer now kills around 1,500 people each year.
It is predicted that by the year 2010, the lifetime risk of the disease will approach 1 in 50 of the UK population, the Restoration of Appearance and Function Trust (RAFT) has stated.
The organisation now wants to collaborate with sunscreen manufactures to test and develop more effective creams.
A spokeswoman for RAFT, based at the Mount Vernon Hospital in north west London, said: "Since the use of sunscreen creams encourages people to stay longer in the sun and the protection afforded by these creams against UVB far outweighs that against UVA - the use of sunscreen creams may therefore indirectly increase the risk of developing the skin malignancy melanoma rather than protect against it."
UVB rays cause redness and burning and some forms of cancer, while UVA rays, which previously had been thought to be less damaging, are causing concern that they may be responsible for ageing and the main cause of melanoma.
Researchers from RAFT used a technique to detect free radicals - chemicals that can destroy cells - that are thought to cause melanomas and are released when UVA light penetrates skin.
They used discarded skin from consenting patients who had undergone surgery and exposed it to UVA light at intensities similar to that of sunlight.
Three commonly available high sun protection factor creams, which stated they contained some UVA protection, were applied to the skin in recommended doses and did not offer sufficient protection against the release of free radicals, a RAFT spokeswoman stated.
RAFT's advice to holidaymakers is to keep out of the sun or cover up completely.
The organisation also wants further funding to take its research forward.

I am 25 years old and have had 2 kids. My once 32B breasts are now riddled with stretch marks and severely "deflated." I have wanted implants for a long time and now more than ever. I feel like I have no breasts any more. Having kids temporarily gave me a size 38D, but it didn't last.
Since my skin is so stretched out, will I likely have more problems with implants? (as far as being noticeable or any ripples) Also, do you think my stretch marks will be less visible?

(CNSNews.com) – Fresh off a win over incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary, Rep. Joe Sestak is still obligated to answer questions about a job he says the White House offered him as an inducement not to run against Specter, a leading House Republican said.
"Could the reason why Congressman Joe Sestak refuses to name names is because the very people who tried to bribe him are now his benefactors?" Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said in a statement Wednesday.
"For months, Sestak has repeatedly said without equivocation that the White House illegally offered him a federal job in exchange for dropping out of the race," Issa said.
"Was Joe Sestak embellishing what really happened or does he have first-hand knowledge of the White House breaking the law? If what he said is the truth, Joe Sestak has a moral imperative to come forward and expose who within the Obama Administration tried to bribe him," he added.
Sestak on Tuesday defeated the incumbent Republican-turned-Democrat Sen. Arlen Specter in the Democratic primary even though Specter had the support of President Barack Obama and most establishment Democrats.
In February, Sestak said that a White House official offered a high level administration job to drop out of the primary against Specter. If this is true, it could violate federal statutes dealing with bribery, or with interfering in a federal election.
Philadelphia news man Larry Kane first asked Sestak, "Were you ever offered a federal job to get out of this race?"
Sestak answered, "Yes."
Kane followed, "Was it the Navy secretary?"
Sestak, a retired Navy admiral answered, "No comment … I would never get out for a deal. I'm in this for the Democratic principles."
Kane asked again, "OK, but was there was a job offered you by the White House?"
Sestak said, "Yes."
Since then, Sestak has reaffirmed in several interviews that the job was offered but never gave details.
Issa said the end of the primary contest between the two did not mean it is a dead issue, because the issue is finding out whether a felony was committed by a White House official.
Issa also formally asked Attorney General Eric Holder to name a special prosecutor to investigate the matter. Holder declined to answer questions about whether the justice department would investigate the matter or name a special prosecutor during a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee.
In April, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs only said, "I've talked to several people in the White House; I've talked to people that have talked to others in the White House. I'm told that whatever conversations have been had are not problematic. I think Congressman Sestak has discussed that this is – whatever happened is in the past, and he's focused on his primary election."
According Issa and several legal experts, at least three laws might have been broken by the offer.
Title 18, U.S.C. Section 211 says, "Whoever solicits or receives, either as a political contribution or for personal emolument, any money or thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in obtaining for any person any appointive office or place under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year or both."
He also refers to Title 18, U.S.C. Section 595, which says, "Whoever, being a person employed in any administrative position by the United States … uses his official authority for the purposes of interfering with, or affecting the nomination of, or the election of any candidate for office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representative…shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both."
Finally, Issa referred to Title 18 U.S.C. Section 600, which says, "Whoever directly or indirectly promises any employment position, compensation, contract, appointment, or other benefit provided for or made possible in whole or in part by any Act of Congress, or any special consideration in obtaining any such benefit, to any person as consideration, in favor, or reward for any political activity or for the support of or opposition to any candidate or any political party in connection with any general or special election to any political office … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both."

You should also read the 7.x-1.x README.txt as it may be more up to date than this page.
Use Solr 1.4.x, 3.5.x or 4.6.x
The configuration files use features from Solr 1.4.x, so Solr 1.3 is not supported. Solr 4.6.0 or 3.5.0 or later is now preferred.
Installation Prerequisites
Prerequisites: Java 5 or higher. For Drupal 6.x-1.x, PHP 5.2 is recommended, but PHP 5.1.4 will work if you install the into PHP the PECL json extension or (for those who cannot install PHP extensions) if you install the Zend Framework JSON classes as described in the README.txt
For Drupal 6.x-1.x you need the PHP library from the external project. The project is found at: http://code.google.com/p/solr-php-client/.
This library can be installed either in the apachesolr module directory (required for 6.x-1.x), or in sites/all/libraries/. The latter requires you to have the Libraries module installed, but has the benefit that the library does not need to be reinstalled when performing module upgrades.
To install the library, go to either the apachesolr module directory or sites/all/libraries/, and run this command:
svn export -r22 http://solr-php-client.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ SolrPhpClient
Note that revision 22 is the currently tested and suggested revision. It is generally not needed to install newer versions (like r60). Make sure that the final directory is named SolrPhpClient under the apachesolr module directory.
Installing Apache Solr
Instructions for installing apache solr on your environment can be found here
Enabling facets
(7.x or 6.x-3.x)
(in order to do this, you have to install FacetAPI)
1. Go to Administer > Configuration > Apache Solr Search > Settings
2. Click "facets" next to the search environment you're currently using.
3. Check the facets that you want to add an click "Save configuration".
4. Go to Administer > Structure > Blocks. A block for each facet that you enabled will be available. Place the block in the region where you want it to show.
5. Click "Save blocks."
Enabling facets (6.x)
Enable blocks for facets at Administer > Site building > Blocks.
Upgrades from 6.x-1.x or 6.x-2.x
IMPORTANT: there is no upgrade path from 6.x-1.x or 6.x-2.x. If you previously
installed those modules you must disable and uninstall them prior to
installing 6.x-3.x or 7.x-1.x.
You will have to install the new schema.xml and solrconfig.xml files, and restart
the Solr server (or core) and delete your index and reindex all content.

iPad Skins From MusicSkins
iPad Skins That Show Off Your Musical Taste
Although skinning your new iPad may not be the first thing you're thinking about doing once you bring it home, skins do provide a layer of protection against hard and uneven surfaces and will keep nasty scratches at bay. Let me just warn you now — the iPad is a little awkward to carry (it's pretty likely you'll drop it a time or two) so a skin may help give you some traction against the slick back surface. And if it's a skin you're looking for, why not slap your favorite band or musical artist on the new gadget?
MusicSkins released a line of skins for your iPad today that represent your musical taste, but they're doing it in a pretty classy way — the designs aren't generic and obnoxious, and some even look like works of art! For $20, it's a reasonable investment for your new purchase. And don't laugh about my inclusion of Third Eye Blind in this roundup — you know you love them too.

After their mother's death, nine year-old Damian (Etel) and seven year-old Anthony (McGibbon) move house, but the kids' adjustment is interrupted when they find a duffel bag containing a quarter of a million pounds.
Danny Boyle's career has been a distinctly up-and-down affair. In the early '90s, with Shallow Grave and Trainspotting, he was hailed as (yet another) 'saviour of the British film industry'. But since then there's been a series of less triumphant outings: A Life Less Ordinary was an over-egged attempt at romantic comedy (which brought to mind Francis Ford Coppola's similarly top-heavy One From The Heart); The Beach was misconceived and miscast, while Alien Love Triangle continues to be sat on by Harvey Weinstein; a fate barely worth contemplating.
But the one thing it hasn't been is predictable. With Millions he rings the changes again, moving from the gooey nihilism of 28 Days Later to a shamelessly heartwarming family pic. In doing so, he delivers his most unalloyed success since Trainspotting.
Millions, like all kid-powered movies, stands or falls in the first place on the performances of its child actors, and Alex Etel and Lewis McGibbon both delight. McGibbon plays a moderately cynical nine year-old whose expertise in emotional manipulation is typified by his wail of, "Our mam's dead!" in order to appropriate chocolate biscuits from relatives, while Etel - a ridiculously, utterly unselfconsciously sweet-natured child - dazzles as Damian, a boy whose essential goodness leads him to use the money to ôhelp the poorö, a group he at one point identifies as a bunch of crusties whom he treats to a feast in Pizza Hut.
Frank Cottrell Boyce's deft screenplay manages to undercut the risky levels of religiosity with sparkily surreal wit ù saints pop by to sit in DamianÆs cardboard castle for a smoke and to shoot the breeze ù while Boyle banishes the Children's Film Foundation feel that this could have had with his usual sophistication: a heist sequence which crosscuts between a train robbery and the same events acted out by a group of ten year-olds with Tonka Toys is a standout, while the opening titles have the boys' new house springing up in real-time around them.
Irresistible performances from the two boys makes Millions that rare thing, a sweet-natured triumph of a family film without a hint of mawkishness.

Dr. L. David Gassiraro is the best Dentist . I have been going to this office for over fifty years and I have all my teeth. I am very greatfull
He seems like a very nice person and clearly understood my problem teeth. But I was stunned at the estimate for the work. It was about four times what I expected based on what I had been charged over the years for similar work when I lived elsewhere. I did not have the work done because it was completely unaffordable. As one other reviewer said, I could have bought a new car for that amount of money.
I have been a patient of Dr. Gassiraro since he started. He has been consistent with his services over the years. I have had 3 crowns and 1 root canal. The quality of his work is very high and I have not had any complications.
Dr L. David Gassiraro in West Roxbury, Boston is the best Dentist, Prothodontist. I had my front 4 teeth capped and they look amazing. I am 1001 % pleased. He is about 20% more expensive but you get what you pay for. I did my homework and Dr. Gassiraro is an excellent value!! THANK YOU Z.
I had allot of work done at Dr Gassiraro's office. His brother makes the teeth. What a team! He has a gental Endodontist who does the root canals. Excellent job I would recommend this office to everyone. I am very very pleased.
Dr. L. David Gassiraro is the Best of Boston Dentist. He is very easy to talk to and explains things clearly.
I needed a new dentist my old closed for some strange reason. Dr Gassiraro's office is great. The staff is very friendly and he is very knowledgeable with out the hard sale. The hygentist is very gentel with detail. If you need a new dentist or need work this is the guy.

We had one hour for this first visit. He examined the fit of all her old dentures smiled and said I can help you. He has different techniques which make a tremendous difference. It has been about a year with her new teeth. My mother has no sore spots and we are thrilled. She can eat everything apples,corn on the cob even steak. She does not have implants or use that glue. Her health is better she feels better and seems much happier. WE are very grateful. Dr. Gassiraro has changed both of our lifes

Sue Mariotti's Profile
I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, home to beaches, mountains and forests filled with amazing wonders. I am married and have two children and I work in the banking industry. I am a lifelong crafter and love working with my hands to create a unique treasure meant to be shared and enjoyed by others. I love terrariums and all the unique ways to plant and present them.
I opened my shop to give others a peek into the beautiful and magical world of terrariums. Living in Seattle, I have access to wonderful plants, mosses, branches and rocks that I use to create these one-of-a kind works of art. It's really amazing the joy and pleasure you can get from gazing into your terrarium and their unique miniature landscapes. Whether you like the beach look with sand and shells, the rustic and woodland look of a green, mossy terrarium or if succulents are more your style, you will find it here…

text: A questionable face mask 15 yard penalty. Even the announcers thought it should have been only 5 yards. A real bad late hit call against the Bears and the announcers thought it was a terrible call. Owens gets a TD and starts doing sit ups and no flag for taunting. I have seen flags thrown for taunts that are nowhere near as bad as that. Too bad one of the Bears didnt do an elbow drop on Owens. It would be worth the penalty. What a shame the refs have to be there for the Eagles agaisnt a Bear team with 3 rookies startin on defense and their starting QB out for the year.

The Prime Minister, John Howard, will visit the Solomon Islands on Monday where the Australian-led intervention force is coming under increasing pressure to deal with high-level corruption.
There are many allegations against politicians, including the Solomons Prime Minister, Sir Allan Kemakeza, whom Mr Howard will meet.
Allegations against Sir Allan range from improper receipt of hundreds of thousands of dollars in government funds to complicity in a failed assassination bid on an ethnic militia leader. There are also claims of improper dealings with foreign logging companies and the international export of live dolphins.
A opposition member in the Solomons, Alfred Sasako, called on Mr Howard yesterday to press Sir Allan to stand aside pending an independent inquiry into claims against him. "This is an opportunity for Mr Howard to use his influence because Sir Allan Kemakeza has become an impediment to the return of law and order and honest government," he said.
Mr Howard's arrival in the capital, Honiara, will come three days before the militia leader Harold Keke is due to reappear in court over a 1998 robbery, following his surrender last week. Wider inquiries are expected to result in murder charges.

Black Conservatives Join Supreme Court Brief to Put Aside Race Preferences in Michigan, Support Will of Michigan's Voters
Brief Argues Lower Court Allows Discrimination to Thrive
Filing Comes Days After Supreme Court's Setback for Race Preferences in Fisher Decision
Washington, D.C. - The Project 21 black leadership network has joined an amicus curiae ("friend of the court") brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Michigan voters who overwhelmingly sought to remove preferential race policies in that state.
The filing in this case came just days after the U.S. Supreme Court sent the University of Texas at Austin's race-conscious admissions policy back to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals for re-evaluation under a strict scrutiny standard.
"The people of Michigan agree with the drafters of the 14th Amendment -- the state government shouldn't predicate hiring, firing or scholarship and admissions decisions to whether one is white or black," said Horace Cooper, a legal commentator and co-chairman of Project 21.
In the case of Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, which will be argued before the U.S. Supreme Court during its term that begins this October, the Court is asked to determine if the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals correctly voided an amendment to the Michigan state constitution, passed by voters in 2006, that prohibits preferential treatment in public employment, education and contracting based on "race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin." The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, which became Section 26 of the state's constitution after its enactment, was supported by 58 percent of Michigan voters. It was struck down by the 6th Circuit in 2012.
Project 21's brief argues that the legal doctrine of political structure (popularly called the "Hunter/Seattle doctrine" among lawyers) that was used to outlaw discrimination in lesser government policies such as housing and busing cannot be used to invalidate Section 26. The brief explains, "Section 26 enhances protections against discrimination and covers all Michigan government action -- not just a single political issue."
In analyzing the historic use of this doctrine, the brief points out: "Both Hunter and Seattle necessitated the finding of an impermissible racial classification in the challenged law before the political structure doctrine was invoked... The clear effect of Section 26 is to prohibit the State and its political subdivisions from adopting race- and sex-based preference programs."
Project 21's Cooper explains: "The 6th Circuit misapplied the test when they reviewed the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative. The so-called 'political structure doctrine' applies only in circumstances where a specific anti-discrimination statute is repealed, not when a state or local government affirmatively adopts race neutral policies going forward." The brief also notes adherence to the Hunter/Seattle doctrine would essentially make racial preferences permanent. It is noted that "[n]o government institution is required to institute race-based preferences, yet Hunter/Seattle prevents institutions from repealing them... [T]here will be no stopping point for racial preferences -- they will be required by the Constitution." Similarly, the brief adds: "No case has cast doubt on the constitutionality, under the political structure doctrine, of a law which -- like Section 26 -- treats all racial matters the same by outlawing discrimination and preferential treatment by government in all cases. This should not be the first."
In the brief, factual data is presented about how the prohibition of race-based preferences in California has increased diversity and minority retention rates. Similarly to Michigan, California voters outlawed race preferences in public college and university admissions in 1996.
"Americans all across the country are coming together to reject the temptation to use raced based preferences to address the problem of race," added Project 21's Cooper. "Michigan is another example of the progress we're making in achieving Martin Luther King's dream of a nation where we are judged not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character."
Written by the Pacific Legal Foundation, the brief to which Project 21 is a party is also joined by the Center for Equal Opportunity, American Civil Rights Institute, National Association of Scholars and the Cato Institute.
During the last term of the U.S. Supreme Court, Project 21 was involved in the race preferences case of Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin and the voting rights case of Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder. Project 21 legal experts and other members have discussed these cases in media interviews this year on MSNBC, Fox News Channel, HBO, Glenn Beck's Blaze TV, the nationally-syndicated Jim Bohannon radio show, Florida Public Radio, the Christian Science Monitor and Reuters.

ADDING A BAG: After 10 years in the business, Alice + Olivia is introducing handbags to its offering of contemporary apparel and footwear. The brand's designer, Stacey Bendet Eisner, said she wanted to perfect the other categories before she turned her attention to bags. "I like doing things one step at a time," she said. "I'm a part of all of it. If we're too scattered, I can't give my full attention."
The brand, which is on course to bring in $175 million in retail sales in 2012, is releasing three bag styles, named the Olivia, See and D, as well as clutches for spring. Clutches will start at $220, while the larger bags, which come in five different colors and various skins, including snake and lizard, will start at $495.

H&M Under Fire For The Use Of A Ridiculously Tan, Blatantly Altered Model
H&M made Tanning Mom so proud with their new swimwear ad, which features model Isabeli Fontana flaunting skin the color of coffee beans. The Swedish fast-fashion retailer was forced to apologize Thursday after the campaign in question left doctors, critics, and cancer groups roaring with outrage. The photos are clearly altered — though Fontana, who is of Brazilian descent, is naturally bronzed, the skin tone she's been given is closer to that of an African-American. It seems like the change was meant to highlight the contrast between the complexion and the brightly-hued bathing suits, but if that's the case, why wouldn't they just use a black model? Regardless, the Swedish Cancer Society in particular was not amused and reached out yesterday morning with a piece in the country's most-circulated newspaper, Dagens Nyheter. The letter reads:
"The clothing giant is creating, not least among young people, a beauty ideal that is deadly. Every year, more people die in Sweden of (skin cancer) than in traffic accidents, and the main cause is too much sunning. Regardless of how the H&M model got her tan, through sunning or a computer programme, the effect is the same: H&M tells us we should be very tan on the beach. It is sad to write this, but H&M will through its latest advertising campaign not only sell more bathing suits but also contribute to more people dying from skin cancer."
H&M's response was rudimentary ("We are sorry if we have upset anyone with our latest swimwear campaign. It was not our intention to show off a specific ideal or to encourage dangerous behaviour, but was instead to show off our latest summer collection.") and failed to highlight the root of the problem, which is encouraging an unrealistic level of tan as something not only achievable, but desirable. I ask again, why wouldn't they just use a black model? I guess that's another discussion entirely. [Daily News]

According to AllHipHop rapper Nas plans on moving to Africa after the release of his new album 'Life Is Good.' His decision to move out of the United States came from avoiding paying the government $6.5 million in owed back taxes.
His lawyer gave him two options: "Let the government take every dollar you make for the next 4-8 years or extradite yourself to a country where they can't touch your earned income. Nas been talking about moving out the U.S. for years anyway so he was like, "F*ck it. Let's drop the album and I'm out." Africa's his escape from the debt problems."

I then was desperate and hired Jasmine with Bella Vita Consultants and I was able to receive a quote within 72 hrs sent $250 deposit and called Elizabeth and confirmed my surgery date. The $150 was well worth it. I would suggest anyone that is having a difficult time getting a hold of Duran and is desperate as I was and want to be stress free to contact them. firstname.lastname@example.com.

Recipe by Thorsten
Not overly sweet and lime, mint and white wine (Pino Grigio or a very dry and fruity white wine) give this Granita a summerly freshness. The sweetness of a ripe cantaloupe melon is often enough, so that you don't need to add more sugar. I like the cantaloupe not too ripe with a still lightly green colored flesh. In this stage the cantaloupe has some pear flavors and a sweetness of honey. This goes well together with lime and a dry white wine. The mint or peppermint add just a hint here. I prepare a Granita often one day in advance and mix it with a fork from time to time. Served in chilled glasses or a freezed half melon it is a wonderful dessert on a hot summer day.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cantaloupe (see note)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2⁄3 cup white wine
- 8 peppermint leaves
- 1 -2 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- lime wedge
- peppermint
Directions See How It's Made
- Half the melon, remove the seeds with a spoon and spoon out the flesh of the melon halves.
- Cut the melon into chunks and put into food processor. Add the remaining ingredients except for the sugar. Don't add sugar at this time.
- Mix until smooth.
- Pour into a container and freeze.
- Get it out after one hour and mix with a fork, so that you don't get too large ice chunks. Add sugar to taste, if it is not sweet enough to your taste.
- Put back into freezer for at least one hour. Mix again with a fork to your desired consistency.
- Serve in chilled glasses or in the melon halves. Garnish with lime wedge and mint leaves.
- NOTE on melon: you need about 1.3 pounds melon flesh. Do not add sugar first, because ripe melons are sweet enough. You can add sugar later to your taste.
- NOTE on serving: I serve this granita also in the remaining melon halves. Chill them too. This dessert can be made in advance. You can prepare it the day before serving, but mix it with a fork from time to time.

Census Bureau: Hispanics lag in education
WASHINGTON (AP) Hispanic adults overall are far
less likely than non-Hispanics to be high school or college graduates, and wide
differences exist for subgroups within the Hispanic population as well, the
Census Bureau says.
Twenty-three percent of Cuban-Americans age 25 and over
had at least bachelor's degree, a new Census Bureau report being released Tuesday
shows. The results are from a survey collected by the bureau in March 2000,
and are not results from the 2000 census.
Among Central and South Americans, 17.4%
of those 25 and older graduated from college, along with 13% of Puerto Ricans,
and 6.9% of Mexicans in the country.
Analysts attribute the disparity to a variety of reasons:
Cuban-American immigrants tend to be older and make more money.
In addition, many Cubans who arrived in the United States
over the past several decades came for political asylum and with a higher level
of education, while many Mexican-Americans immigrated to take low-paying jobs
and had less educational achievement, said Raul Gonzalez, education policy analyst
with the National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest Latino civil rights
However, analysts pointed out that Hispanic adults overall
still had a lower levels of educational achievement than non-Hispanics:
Advocacy groups hope the Bush administration will help
close those achievement gaps, said Marisa Demeo, a lawyer with the Mexican American
Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Hispanics, who can be of any race, are projected
to pass non-Hispanic blacks as the nation's largest minority group next year.
"It shows how important closing that gap is, not just for
Hispanics, but for the entire U.S. population and economy," Demeo said. "If
you have a growing population lagging in educational achievement, it's a national
problem, not just a Hispanic problem."
Overall, though, the Hispanic population benefited greatly
from the recent economic surge, Census Bureau analyst Roberto Ramirez said.
About 22.8% of Hispanics lived in poverty in 1999, compared
with 7.7% of non-Hispanic whites. That compared with 25.6% of Hispanics in 1998,
and 8.2% of non-Hispanic whites in 1998.

WooHoo! This is my 504th post!
I'm convinced Steve needs one.
It's very cloak and dagger though - are there limited numbers? Do I need to stay up until 1am on 15th May?

Nothing cloak and dagger about it; the 15th just seemed like a good idea at the time, because when I made the above post this morning I had already scheduled the last Parcelforce collection for shipment this week.
Plus, I want to get out in the garden this afternoon and use my Pallet Bar to reclaim the timber for the other planters that I am making: Lois is getting a little anxious about the growing season slipping away from her.

Gareth, not been in touch because we're not sure it would work with the pallets we get - they look different to yours, we think. All the loose ones have been 'butchered' so we need to get the tarp off our pile and check them out.

The Cargo Cycles Pallet Bars are suitable for stripping both 2 way and 4 way Pallets.
A 2 way Pallet usually comprises of full length stringers and planks and is only approachable to lift by a Forklift Truck from the front and the back.
A 4 way Pallet usually comprises of a block in each corner, 1 in the centre of each end, and usually 3 blocks along the centreline, making 9 blocks in all. This allows a forklift to approach the the pallet from 4 different directions.
The top Pallet in the photo is a 4 way Pallet. The blocks are marked A. and the wide head of the pallet bar is Marked C.
The bottom Pallet is a 2 way Pallet, and the full length stringer is marked B. Normally the stringers on 2 way pallets are 2 inches or less wide, and the narrow head of the Pallet bar is Marked D.

If you are unsure as to whether a Cargo Cycles pallet Reclamation Bar is suitable for stripping the kinds of Pallets you have or can obtain.
Please refer to the illustrations of different types of wooden Pallets on the left hand side of the page at this link:
The Cargo Cycles Pallet Reclamation Bars can be used to effectively and efficiently strip all of these types of wooden Pallets, with the exception of the full covered plywood , SOLID DECK Pallet at the bottom of that page.
Here is a photo of a full covered Plywood, SOLID DECK Pallet. Please excuse the paint and glue drips, etc. .... this is my Garden work bench top.

We took delivery of our Pallet Reclamation Bar yesterday and I can whole-heartedly recommend it.
It's fab! Although I may come to regret standing there like a 12 year old insisting "Let me have a go!"
It's just too easy and I have nowhere to hide behind "I can't do it".
I thought it would be too heavy for me to use but the balance of it is excellent and you hardly notice you are holding it (if that makes sense).
You are a star. Not only for the product, but also for the excellent service.
However.... I'm thinking that your family can always guess what you've bought them for Christmas?
Seriously though, I was impressed with the minimal packaging.

Thank you for your comments and recommendation regarding the Pallet Reclamation Bar.
May I also thank you for the email communications that we had. Your questions highlighted that I had not fully explained the types of pallet that the bar can be used to strip effectively so that the timbers can be reclaimed for use in other projects.
I have now put together a single page pallet identification chart so that potential customers can see at a glance the the types of wooden pallet that can be stripped with the Cargo Cycles Pallet Reclamation Bar.
Here is a downloadable PDF version of that chart; but if you require it as a Word Document version, please do not hesitate to email me to request one:

Post subject: Greetings from White Springs, Florida U.S.A.
Hi Gareth
I found this site/forum while researching wooden pallet uses and happened upon your clever invention.
I sent you an Email Friday regarding purchasing one to use for some building projects I have in this rural north central part of Florida.
White Springs is a little country town with 850 people and no traffic lights.
My next door neighbor just put up a Pole Barn and has some pygmy goats. This is an area of rolling hills, pine trees, and lots of farm land and very different from what people think of about Florida -Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, etc. Two blocks away is the famous Suwannee River that Stephen Foster wrote a song about.
Please let me know Gareth if you received my Email and how I may purchase your Pallet Reclamation Bar.
Thank you

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
Triple Chocolate Cupcakes
These are the best chocolate cupcakes I've ever eaten. I topped them with some homemade chocolate buttercream frosting and they were gone very quickly. Many people have already asked for the recipe. If you like chocolate, you can't go wrong with this recipe!
Muy Excelente!
These cupcakes were very delicious and so easy to make. I gave them out to my friends in band at MSU and everyone loved them. They commented on how moist and delicious they were!
love chocolate
If you love the taste and smell of chocolate this is the recipe for you. Easy to make and much easier to eat.
Easy to make, better to eat. Great chocolate fix.
Great birthday cake
This is a very moist, rich, creamy cake. I have made this many times for family birthday parties and always get compliments. I have made it in a 9 x 13 pan and in (2) 9 inch pans with success. It does require you to cook a little longer than the box directions. This is a very delicious cake.

Lisa LoVullo: It's a joy to help kids build time machines
I can remember some moments of school vividly, as though the simple action of closing my eyes and thinking can take me back to that time and place. My senses reach a nostalgic overload as I am transported back to crowded hallways, musty textbooks and a variety of voices that speak volumes of learning memory. I become what I was, braces and all, and so I am able to reminisce, revisit and relive at will while discovering new memories I had long since tucked away for a rainy day.
Then there are other moments when my time machine seems to run out of gas. When memory asks me to brush away cobwebs of unused information, I start to wonder if I was ever really there.
Why can't I remember what teacher stood before me, why X doesn't equal Z or what a sedimentary rock is? After some frustration has passed, I start to assess the relevance of my delirium. If I can't remember the most basic detail of the material I learned, did I ever really live through it? Did any actual learning occur?
Thinking back on my educational experiences while putting on my teacher hat, I've come to realize what the difference is between these two methods of thought. The moments I cannot recall well, those moments where my memory time machine has failed me, are those moments when I failed to make meaningful connections.
I could memorize anything with the best of them, often reciting more information than I thought my brain could store in one sitting, but the effort was set aside for a short-term goal – getting a 100 on a test or reciting facts when the teacher called on me. I became a passive learner in that respect, getting through material for an anticipated end result.
The truth is, I loved school! I was one of those kids who loved to learn and thrived in a competitive atmosphere. What I was not, though, was a kid who was naturally gifted. When I couldn't conceptualize something instantly, I struggled and had to work that much harder as a result, which is probably where the memorization piece came into play.
I was in my element, though, when I could smile, laugh and express myself. The latter type of memory is where the time machine part works for me now. I can recall not only sensory details of those memories, I can also recall exactly what I was learning about.
The difference between the forgetting and the remembering is the relevance of human experience. I not only learned those moments, I lived them, and they come back at the most opportune times – when I can apply the information learned.
As a teacher, I find myself trying to re-create those types of experiences with my students. Teachers are taught to cover specific information, to prepare students for standardized tests and to help make them career-ready. Of course I understand all of that, and although I may have my own opinions on the laundry list of requirements, I also acknowledge that I have a specific job to do.
In a world of fast-turning trends, pressures and technology, it becomes increasingly important for me to do what's best for my students, to speak to them. I think that is best accomplished through memory-learning experiences. I want them to build their own memories just as I did. No matter what type of students they happen to be, maybe if I try hard enough, my students will get in their own time machine some day.

Financial planners will face less competition after accountants were stripped of the right to establish do-it-yourself superannuation funds, under sweeping reforms that would also force planners to adopt similar professional standards to doctors and lawyers.
The federal government's response to a parliamentary Joint Committee on Financial Services outlines measures to improve financial advice in light of the collapse of companies including Storm Financial Group, which destroyed the life savings of thousands of ordinary investors.
The government went further than suggested by the committee by proposing accountants lose a controversial exemption from licensing laws that allows them to establish DIY super funds for clients provided they do not give advice on investments within funds.
The reforms would also give the Australian Securities and Investments Commission more power to act against unscrupulous advisers, establish a professional standards board and establish an expert review into a potential statutory compensation scheme.
But Opposition Leader
"We need to send a very clear and strong message through our law that Australians deserve first-class financial advice that isn't tainted by commissions or kickbacks – advice that is clearly in their best interests and nobody else's," the federal Minister for Financial Services,
Most of the proposed reforms will start on July 1, 2012. Sales commissions on retail financial products will be banned from the same date, making legal a prohibition that was agreed voluntarily by the industry last year.
In a move designed to stop the mis-selling of margin loans, advisers will be allowed to charge fees as a percentage of a clients' assets but will be banned from including borrowed investment capital in the calculations.
Investors will be able to opt out of paying for advice each year in an bid to stop financial planners charging for services they do not provide.
The proposals were broadly welcomed by most quarters of industry, but the opposition criticised the ban on commissions, saying it limited the payment options for people who chose to seek financial advice.
"Our motivation is to allow individuals to come up with arrangements that suit them," opposition financial services spokesman
The opposition has previously indicated it favours a system that would improve planners' disclosure of how they are paid to allow investors to choose if they wish to engage the planner. But Mr Bowen yesterday rejected that option.
"Improved disclosure has been tried in the past: it doesn't work," he said.
The Financial Planning Association said the impact of the reform package on the financial planning industry was potentially larger than the 2003 Financial Services Reform Act, which introduced a licensing regime and set minimum education levels for financial planners.
"First, there is the scale of the reform itself. It's a monstrous package of reform," FPA acting chief executive Deen Sanders said.
"We need to look at it carefully. We don't know how it will work," Mr Sanders said.
He said the implementation of FSR was managed very poorly and the FPA was concerned that if not managed well, the new package could be a repeat of that.
"It took a long time to settle and it's still not settled in some cases," Mr Sanders said. "What we don't want to see is this slow release of regulatory guidance documents."
The reform package, dubbed the Future of Financial Advice, is one of a number of initiatives likely to have a significant impact on the advisory industry.
The Super System Review, chaired by
Any fees for advice would be charged separately to other MySuper costs and members would have to request advice, rather than be deemed to receive it automatically.
The Henry review, which is due for release on Sunday, examined the viability of making financial planning fees tax deductible.
However, Mr Bowen indicated yesterday that the government was unlikely to support such as proposal.
"The tax deductibility of financial advice fees would be very expensive for the government and I think it would be difficult to justify," he said.
One of the biggest changes in the reforms is the imposition of a fiduciary duty on advisers that makes it illegal for them to benefit from their relationship with a client without the informed consent of the client.
It would also mean they could not act when a conflict of interest was present, although Mallesons Stephen Jaques partner Mark McFarlane said it could be difficult to write fiduciary duties on individuals into the Corporations Act.
Accountants argued that not allowing them to establish DIY super funds created an uneven playing field as financial planners were recently exempted from new laws that imposed higher professional standards and tough penalties on tax advisers.
"If you're building a wealth portfolio for someone, you can't do it without tax, so to exempt financial planners from being licensed tax agents makes a mockery out of saying accountants need to be registered to do financial planning," Chartered Accountants chief executive Graham Meyer said.
A controversial exemption in the law means accountants can establish DIY funds without needing a licence but cannot give investment advice. Financial planners have sought for it to be scrapped.
Big super funds and advisers said the fact that accountants could only give advice about DIY funds meant their clients did not get proper information about other options that were available.

[Plugin: Developer Formatter] W3C Validating pages with devformatter content
I recently tried to validate my pages with devformatter content and was getting a long list of errors. I ended up making the following changes to get validation working with XHTML Transitional. Perhaps these or equivalent could be integrated into the next release? No hurry, it's currently working for me. However, if it could be patched so that it will continue to work after the next update, that would be great.
You can see the code changes working at this post — which talks about this code. You can even use the Copy to Clipboard feature with this very code.
Anyway, there were four things that the validator did not like about the plugin output:
- The Javascript script tags used language="Javascript" and did not include type="text/javascript".
- The flash (for the clipboard) used embed, which is a Netscape proprietary extension.
- WordPress automatically adds paragraph tags and either the code block was in a paragraph with other content or it was in its own paragraph. Unfortunately, pre is not a valid child of p, so the validator barfs.
- Even if I strip the paragraph tags, the pre contains a table. Again, table is not a valid child of pre.
I added the type to the script tags, e.g.
echo "\n";
I changed the embed to an object:
'background-position:50% 50%;width:16px;height:16px;vertical-align:middle;">' . "\n" . '<object id="ZeroClipboard'.$DevFmt_CodeIndex.'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="'. DEVFMT_URL.'_zclipboard.swf" width="16" height="16" style="vertical-align:middle">'. '<param name="movie" value="'. DEVFMT_URL.'_zclipboard.swf" />'. '<param name="FlashVars" value="id='.$DevFmt_CodeIndex.'&width=16&height=16" />'. '<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />'. '<param name="loop" value="false" />'. '<param name="menu" value="false" />'. '<param name="quality" value="best" />'. '<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />'. '<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />'. '</object>' . "\n" . '	'.
I changed the pre to a div:
return $regionflag[0].'
'. $Toolbar.'
'.$ACode.'

'.$regionflag[1];
In devfmt_ContentFormat, I added three new lines, just before the content is returned:
$AContent = str_replace('', '
', $AContent); $AContent = str_replace('', '
', $AContent); $AContent = str_replace('

', '', $AContent);
Finally, in devfmt_common.js, I changed the embed selector to an object instead:
EmbedObj = jQuery("object#ZeroClipboard" + id)[0];
With these changes, I am now able to validate my page as XHTML Transitional with the W3C HTML Validator. If I took off the language="JavaScript", removed target="_blank" from all my links, and updated my DOCTYPE, I could validate as XHTML Strict.
- The topic '[Plugin: Developer Formatter] W3C Validating pages with devformatter content' is closed to new replies.

Pirie & Co. a street level bar above and live music venue below sits in the heart of Adelaide city. Pirie & Co enlisted The Colour Club to bring both venues to life and give each its own distinct identity. Beginning with identity and logo development that reflected their position in the market, attention was then turned to creative direction of the interior design, including original illustrations by Australian illustratior, Little Bones. Collateral was developed, followed by the design and development of the Pirie & Co and Social Club whiz-bang website.
Balmain Brewing is a fast growing Australian craft brewing company. Colour Club was awarded the job of creating an identity and brand for Balmain that identified with the heritage and roots of the area, while still maintaining a modern and fresh edge. Colour Club was also responsible for developing the website, posters, signage and in-store tap decals.
C Coconut Water is Australia's leading organic coconut water company supplying organic coconut water and coconut oil Australia-wide and internationally. The Colour Club designed C Coconut Water a mobile responsive, e-commerce, website in response to the company's need for a professional online presence, online store and social media portal.
Rocks Brewing Co. is a craft brewery producing 100 per cent Australian Ales. Our mission was to create packaging for the entire range; each beverage defined by a notable resident of The Rocks area in convict times. At Colour Club, we saw the potential of this story and developed and illustrated a set of quirky characters who hold their own on the shelf yet work together as a strong brand story. These award winning package designs have no doubt sparked conversations throughout Sydney and beyond.

But, Miss pross suddenly became afflicted with a twitching in the head and body, and retired into the house.
They were only three at table, and Miss pross made the third.
Within a few minutes, Miss pross stood whispering at his side.
The savage Frenchwoman tried to tear her away, but Miss pross seized her around the waist, and held her back.
However, father and daughter did at last appear, and Miss pross was ready at the street door to receive them.
Miss pross, submitting herself to his judgment, the scheme was worked out with care.
Seeing in this arrangement the hope of rendering real service in that pressing emergency, Miss pross hailed it with joy.
Something of this is implied in the slang word pross, since it also means "to sponge upon a comrade," &c., "for drink."
Madame Defarge looked at her scornfully, but still with something of Miss pross's own perception that they two were at bay.
There was no one bidden to the marriage but Mr. Lorry; there was even to be no bridesmaid but the gaunt Miss pross.

4 Arrested in Boyd Co. after Police Discover as Active Meth Lab
Four people were arrested Friday by the Boyd Co. Sheriff Dept, after deputies find an active meth lab in Boyd County. Officials say they got a tip about a meth lab located on Ike Patton Road in the Summit community of Boyd Co. When deputies arrived on scene they found an active meth lab and morphine tablets, along with two old meth labs in a dumpster outside. Arrested were Doug Menshouse, Brent Johnson, Derrick Caudill, and Angela Bailey, all charged with manufacturing meth, unlawful possession of meth precursors, and trafficking controlled substance. All four were lodged in the Boyd Co. Detention Center.

Police at the scene say they made contact with James D. Doyle, 48, of Mays Lick. Police say they recovered several thousand dollars worth of stolen items, including, firearms and chainsaws. Doyle was arrested and charged with Possession of Firearm by a Convicted Felon and Possession of Marijuana. Doyle is being held in the Mason County Detention Center.
About 280,000 Kentuckians Losing Current Coverage
About 280,000 Kentuckians will have to give up their current insurance policies in the months ahead and enroll in alternatives that comply with the Affordable Care Act, the federal health care reform law. Kentucky Department of Insurance spokeswoman Ronda Sloan said individual policies for about 130,000 people will be discontinued, as will small group policies for about 150,000 more. Those affected, Sloan said, will receive discontinuation letters when their policies come up for renewal. "This is because their current plans do not meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act," Sloan said in an emailed statement. "Instead, they are being transitioned to new ACA-compliant policies. This is not a 'cancellation' or a 'termination.' No one is losing coverage."
Kentucky has been receiving good reviews for its handling of the health care reforms so far. A month into the rollout, more than 31,000 Kentuckians have signed up for medical coverage, the vast majority of whom will become Medicaid recipients. Coverage is set to begin Jan. 1. Kentucky's online insurance marketplace has avoided the widespread technical glitches that have plagued the federal health benefit exchange.
Gov. Steve Beshear issued an executive order last year calling for Kentucky to create its online marketplace where residents can shop for insurance coverage. The state received more than $250 million from the federal government to set it up. Beshear has said four out of five Kentuckians will be eligible federal subsidies to help cover the cost of coverage. Those subsidies, based on income, range from less than $100 to more than $500 a month to help pay premiums.
Floyd Mine Among 3 to Receive POV Notices
The U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration has announced that three mining operations have been put on notice of a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards under Section 104(e) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The POV screening is the first one conducted since MSHA's revised Pattern of Violations rule went into effect on March 25. These revisions improve MSHA's ability to act when it finds a pattern of violations.
One of the three mines that received POV notices includes a Floyd County mine, Tram Energy LLC's Mine No. 1. According to MSHA, the mine received 120 S&S violations during the POV review period, with more than half of those violations involving elevated levels of operator negligence. MSHA issued 40 closure orders at Tram Energy during the POV review period, the most of any mine in the country. The company has incurred approximately $170,000 in civil penalties since it began operating in 2012, but to date has paid only $666.
The other two mines cited included Brody Mining LLC's Brody Mine No. 1 in Boone County, W.Va., and Pocahontas Coal Company LLC's Affinity Mine in Raleigh County, W.Va.
