80s at 8 for 10-16-13
Thanks for visiting the 80's at 8 blog, updated daily with each day's content and the music videos for all the songs we played! If you remember being jealous because your friends had automatics and you had to learn how to drive a stick shift, if you still take relationship advice from VC Andrews, even though she died halfway through "Heaven", if you loved Coke but became a Pepsi drinker when Coke switched up the taste on you, and if you miss being able to screen calls and ignore the phone without your friends having a total meltdown, then you are in the right place, this is the 80's at 8, and we start off today with one of the last songs the Bangles recorded before splitting up, here's "Eternal Flame"
From 1986 New Order "Bizarre Love Triangle" If you remember the days when Dan Akroyd had one thing on his mind, and it was the Stay Puft marshmallow man, If you remember loving your favorite sports hero without wondering whether or not they juiced up, and if you remember anything positive about O.J. Simpson at all, then stick around, this is the 80's at 8, and coming up next, from 1981 Human League "Don't You Want Me"
From 1983 Duran Duran "Union of the Snake" If you see no need to be embarrassed by your collection of Ernest movies, if you've tried a Vegemite sandwich only because you herd it in the song "Down Under", and if you remember when Boy George was controversial, then this is the show for you, it's the 80's at 8, from 1982 Madness with "Our House"
Here is the answer to the timeline, in what year did the following things happen?
Major League Baseball players began a 49 day strike over the issue of free-agent compensation.
Luke and Laura made daytime television history with the highest rated hour in soaps when they married on General Hospital.
Dudley Moore starred in Arthur and began practicing for the role he would later perfect in his actual life, in 1981, the same year Loverboy released his debut single, which found great success with the BDSM/leather community due to its sadomasochist overtones. Here's "Turn Me Loose"
From 1984 Pet Shop Boys "West End Girls" If nothing makes you more excited in the summer than having someone roll out the slip and slide (check for rocks, ALWAYS check for rocks), if the sleds you used as a kid were les fun toy and more hurtling machine of death, and if you were into Transformers long before Megan Foxx came to the scene, then you're in good company here, it's the 80's at 8, and from 1984 Autograph "Turn up the Radio"
From 1982 Eddy Grant "Electric Avenue". If you liked Anthony Michael Hall better when he was a geek, If you liked Tom Hanks better when he was a cross dresser, and if you will NEVER play cards with Dustin Hoffman, then pull up a seat and listen in, it's the 80's at 8 and up next from 1983 The Fixx "One Thing Leads to Another"
From 1989 Roy Orbison "You Got It" If you wish that your favorite radio jock would say "goooood morning Vietnaaaaaaam" just one more time, if you hear the words "this is your brain on drugs" whenever you crack an egg into a pan, and if you know that Goonies never say die, then this is the show for you. It's the 80's at 8, and coming up next from 1989 Fine Young Cannibals "She Drives Me Crazy"

On every card I make, I always add some kind of rhinestones or pearl embellishments, so when I saw this mega bundle of bling, there was no hesitation and I ordered right away. All the product is from Queen & Co., which are my favorites when it comes to bling. Their adhesive is great and they really sparkle! Tina
I love Queen and Company and you can't buy it around here because AC Moore only has selected items from there so I got lots of goodies that aren't available in stores. And to think I was going to wait until Queen and Company attend the CKC show in Manchester NH. I'm sure I will have used quite a bit so I will need to stock up on more!!!
Mega bling kit is wonderful! It has all kinds of colors and patterns. Lots of multi-sizes of the same color, which is great on a scrapbook page. I loved it, and was so happy I ordered the kit!
This was an INCREDIBLE deal. There were so many new items from Queen & Co. I absolutely love this. If you get a chance to purchase this item, you will not be dissatisfied!
Amazing is the only way I can describe my order when I opened it. Sooooooo many uses for the beautiful bling. My cards will sparkle all over the place! Thanks.

In high school, the first thing we would do at the beginning of track practice was sit on the ground for 10 minutes and perform stretching exercises like reaching for our toes. These types of flexibility exercises are called static stretching and have been a common fixture in warm-up programs for decades.
Static stretching has traditionally been performed for two primary reasons: injury prevention and performance enhancement. However, new research has found that static stretching can be detrimental to performance and does not necessarily reduce the occurrence of injuries. Some of these findings point to the fact that:
No difference has been found in the prevalence of injuries between people who statically stretched and those who did not.
It has been shown that static stretching decreases strength for as long as to an hour after the stretch.
Static stretching can cause a decrease in coordination and explosive movement after the stretch.
More recently, coaches are adopting a form of stretching known as dynamic stretching. Dynamic stretching consists of functional based exercises which use sport specific movements to prepare the body for movement. These stretches involve motions that are performed quickly with little resistance, and act to improve flexibility, coordination, balance and elasticity of muscles and ligaments.
Dynamic flexibility activities can be as simple as:
kicking while walking;
walking lunges;
high knee skips;
jogging while swinging your arms in circles;
carioca exercises.
A good way to structure your exercise session would be to perform five to 10 minutes of light exercise, which could range from walking quickly to light jogging. After a gentle warm-up, perform five to 10 minutes of dynamic stretching activities that stress the body parts and movements performed in your exercise activity.
At the end of a training session, spend 10 minutes performing static stretching activities and cooling down.
It's that time of the year that we all try to shed those winter pounds. A proper warm-up followed by some dynamic flexibility exercises will help keep you on track by limiting those nagging injures and pains while allowing you to give a peak performance.

Inter-Collegiate Peace Fellowship Conference
When Friday January 31, 2014 (1270 days ago)
Where Seminary, Martin Chapel
The annual student-run peacebuilding conference for all Anabaptist colleges will be hosted by EMU from January 31 through February 2.
The theme of the 2014 Intercollegiate Peace Fellowship Conference is Peace in Practice: What does it look like when our theories become action? The keynote speaker — Lisa Schirch, Director of Human Security at the Alliance for Peacebuilding — and additional workshop speakers will address how they have engaged in peacebuilding at all levels from local to international and how it can be integrated into various work such as art and community engagement.
Workshops will be offered on a wide range of topics, including "A Subversive Shalom: Enacting Radical Peace" with Carl and Carolyn Stauffer; "Home Front: the Untold History of Radical Veteran Peacemaking" with Veterans for Peace; and "Our Community Place: Promoting Personal Growth and Community Well-Being" with Philip Fisher Rhodes and Ron Copeland. Other topics to be covered range from "The Relationship Between Islam and Peace" and "Restorative Justice in Our Schools" to "Arts, Theater, and Peacebuilding."
We anticipate the conference to be a fruitful time of exploring and learning together about what it looks like to build peace locally and globally.
The Intercollegiate Peace Fellowship Conference is sponsored and organized by EMU's Peace Fellowship, a student organization that organizes campus-wide activities, regular space to share meals and discussions, and special speakers to spark meaningful dialogue. For more information about ICPF or Peace Fellowship, contact the applied social sciences department.

Health Canada warns of synthetic marijuana risks
Source: CBC
Health Canada has issued a public warning about the risks associated with herbal incense that may give a high similar to marijuana, following a CBC News investigation into the substances.
The investigation found that the herbal incense products, which are available in stores from St. John's to Vancouver, contain explicit health warnings that they are not for human consumption.
However, undercover reporters have found stores where staff suggested the incense is meant to be smoked.
In a statement issued Wednesday, a day after results from the CBC News investigation were made public, Health Canada warned consumers about the risk associated with those products.

Last edited Wed Feb 27, 2013, 09:31 PM - Edit history (1)
I would much rather have people smoking a plant that has been in use for thousands of years without a single fatality than smoking a substance which we really don't know much about and is likely far more dangerous than the real thing.

7. It's not even that it isn't legal...
It's that it doesn't yet show up in drug tests ... or at least most tests. If pot is legalized, that doesn't guarantee your place of work won't test for it - as is the case in some areas where it's legal now. I have a few friends who smoke spice and it's illegal to buy here, but they smoke it because it doesn't show up on their piss tests yet. It isn't because they have a more difficult time buying the real stuff (in fact, it's probably easier finding a dealer who sells the real stuff) ... but that they don't want to risk their jobs smoking the real pot. Once spice is easily detected on all forms of drug tests, it will die out because that's really the only reason it survives in many of these areas (and yes, it helps it's legal in some places ... but that's changing).

10. Excellent point. One more unintended consequence of drug war totalitarianism.
Since most drugs clear your system in a day or two, but pot can stay for weeks, employment drug testing is primarily aimed at pot smokers. Now, workers who want to keep their jobs resort to worse--but undetectable--drugs.
I wonder what workers could ever do to get out from under employment drug testing. Maybe they could all get together and form a group to represent them for their mutual benefit and confront the bosses to get rid of it....Nah.

"Synthetic" suggests a man-made version of the natural drug. These are different drugs, whose effects are mostly poorly known.

Wales' first hatchery for lobster opens with curators looking to release up to 600 babies a year off the north Wales.
Conservationists are working with fishermen to help lobsters get over
the first crucial six months.
What began as a small-scale breeding programme has now turned into a full scale project due to £50,000 European funding from Objective One.
The hatchery is also open to the public, to help educate people about lobsters and the need to preserve their stocks.
Assistant curator Clare White said: "About 20 years ago, there was a serious problem off the coast here but levels have come back up and we hope this will continue."
The zoo plans to work closely with more local fishermen, to help achieve a balance between conserving fish stocks and helping the industry.
One fisherman already brings into the zoo "berried" or pregnant female lobsters, who can each lay between 2,000 and 20,000 eggs.
But only a fraction of these get through to the larvae stage, which may leave between 20 or 30 juveniles from each brood to grow to maturity.
The hatchery, which has a capacity for up to 2,000 lobsters a year, will release them when they reach six or seven months old - then they have to take their chances.
Ms White said: "The first couple of years are the most crucial - if they survive that and pass the dangers, they can live to the age of 60."
"They don't really have any predators apart from humans or the odd seal who might take their chances with the shell."
The zoo is also marking the mother lobsters with a "V" notch on their tails as a sign to fishermen, which lasts up to three years and should allow them a chance of greater breeding time.
A EU-funded £200,000 tail-notching scheme involving the North West and North Wales Sea Fisheries' Committee expects to see 15,000 lobsters released back into the sea over the next three years.
Fishermen are reimbursed for mother lobsters which are notched and returned to the sea.
A spokeswoman for the NWNWSC said: "The programme would not work without the committment and dedication of the fishermen.
"We have a good relationship with the Sea Zoo, who educate visitors coming to their lobster hatchery and help advertise the importance of conservation programmes such as the lobster notching and return of lobsters to the sea."

Why flare wrench needed to replace brake lines?

well like the two previous posts mentioned, the nut for the fitting is a softer alloy. so to grip all corners (so not round off the corners) you'd want a box end wrench. But since a box end would not allow you to remove after its tight(because it would have a brake line inside it). so there is a flared end wrench that has a slit in it large enough to allow the brake line to pass.
strip that fitting and you have to cut the line, get a new fitting and then flare the line (with a flare tool) to get it back. big hassle for stripping it

Memory card storage limitations (just in case anyone else is as dumb as me...)

Memory card storage limitations (just in case anyone else is as dumb as me...)
If anyone else has invested in a 2GB card, tried to transfer more than about a hundred files to it using libprs500 and got an error message what they do not understand, the way round that i've found is to use a card reader and create folders on the card. Put about a hundred files in each folder and it works. Of course, the Reader takes about a hundred years to work through the card when booting up and shows all the files at once, so navigating through to the book you want is a page-by-page job, but then, if you didn't want that many files on the Reader at once, why get that big a card?
(i know this is probably thuddingly obvious to all the aficionadoes on here, but i couldn't find a thread on it so this is a PSA to all the beginners like me.)

Anyone who is a bit of a geek (like me) knows about the Mojave Phone Booth. It has its own "Mojave Phone booth" wikipedia page summarizing its raise to fame and later demise due to all the traffic of geeks who went there just to play with it. It was removed in 2000, and even the plaque placed there has been removed by the National Park Service. *sigh*
It was the very first thing I thought of when I read this:
Here at TVF we have just launched the very first attempt of live viral ever.
We put a guy in the desert of the south of Spain, his name is Rob, with a camp and a phone box, and he will be there answering calls of anyone from
around the world. And there will be an amazing suprise...
Check this out: phoneboxexperiment.com
Who will be the first one to enter this viral into the Mojave phone booth wikpedia page, I wonder. I should probably care about the sender, or wonder what the surprise may be, instead I'm busy pouring out a little jolt on the ground for old desert phone-booths no longer with us.

Great, clean hostel. Only issue is that the bunk bed situation is a tight squeeze. I would definitely recommend this hostel because of how clean and friendly it is.

Close to Old Street bars. They had recently painted, so the fumes are still there. There is an interior courtyard where a lot of people gather to smoke. I'm a non-smoker, so the fumes and cigarette smoke weren't a pleasant combination. My room was on busy Kingsland Road, and with no air conditioning, we left the windows open all night--lots of loud sirens. Also, shower smelled like pee and didn't have enough water pressure to get shampoo out. Ran out of TP in the middle of the night.

The application for Santa's Workshop is now available online.
Santa's Workshop is a nonprofit organization that provides Christmas gifts to military families in need. Selected families will be invited to Santa's Workshop and parents can select a family game, a book and a toy to wrap up and give to their kids on Christmas Day.
Carolyn Crissman, organization president, said the volunteer board is expecting about 2,500 applications this year. They can only accept 1,600.
"The more information they can put about their financial situation on the application, the better informed decision we can make," Crissman said.
Both soldiers and spouses can apply for assistance, but it must be done through their command financial specialist between Oct. 17 and 21.
Crissman said spouses of deployed soldiers can apply and can seek help from their family readiness group leader or their family readiness support assistant.
She also suggested to get applications in as early as possible.
For more information go to www.swfh.com.

Rare pre-1900 "Hana" Painted Nippon Vase
Double gold handles, gold work with "jewels" around top, gold base with "bumps", scene of Mt. Fuji with stream, purples, blues, green grass, two light colored cows (?). See pictures.
Double gold handles, gold work with "jewels" around top, gold base with "bumps", scene of Mt. Fuji with stream, purples, blues, green grass, two light colored cows (?). See pictures.
"M" standing for "Morimura" in a wreath, crowned by "Hand painted" and below, NIPPON. Introduced in 1911 and possible in use until 1921. Noritake first produced dinnerware for the American market in 1914. Typical back stamp of Noritake, the letter "M" in a wreath and the words "Hand painted." Does NOT "say made in Japan".
Came across this about fake Nippon marks: "Most fake "M in Wreath" marks are a bright green but are also found in other colors. The mark is larger than the authentic mark and usually sports a rounded "stem" on the bottom rather than the protruding, squared off stem. There are also two other fake "M in Wreath" marks; each is messy looking and muddy and generally in the bright green color, some missing the stem altogether. The real marks are not found in the bright green color. Authentic "M in Wreath" marks (M is for Morimura Brothers) are found in a deeper green, maroon and blue."
Not saying yours is a fake but check out Noritake collectors guild for images of fake marks so you can compare yours to it. Makes a huge difference on the value.
I also checked out the fake back stamps from the Nippon Collectors site. One thing about this vase is that it's been in my family and has been passed down through the generations. It was my great grandmothers to begin with as far as I know being to first to possess it. The only living surviving child is now almost 100 years old; my aunt. However, my grandmother lived her entire life with my mother and my mother now lives with me and this vase has virtually "lived" in the china cabinet all of these years later. So without a doubt I know that this vase is at least as old as the 1860s to 1870s which is the span in years my great grandmother Rosalie first had the vase. The only thing I am unsure of at this point is if it was passed down to her or how she came to get it.
Also, I know that before the McKinley tariff all pieces imported from Japan did not possess the "made in Japan" mark but after the fact, it was law. So that is the reason this particular piece and due to it's age does not have that on it. However, I am still curious as to what I actually have and will check with Noritake for direction.
Thank you for your imput.
Your vase was produced between 1891 and 1921, which was the time frame that the McKinley-Tariff act was in place. Therefore, this does not go as far back as 1860-1870 as you may have thought. It's a nice piece, and the current value on it in a retail environment would be about $400-$450. If you were to put it on ebay, I would think it would close around $350 or so. Please feel free to check out my ebay store, NIPPON COLLECTOR HEADQUARTERS. Scott
I also have one of these vases. It has gold handles like yours with some beading. It has geese on one side and a scenic view on the other. It has the same stamp which looks like ït says "hana" painted not hand painted. It has been in the family for a long time. I believe it belonged to my great-great grandmother. I am wondering if it is a fake.

But first, let them take an Oscars selfie! Chrissy Teigen, Jared Leto, and more took to social media to share their behind-the-scenes snaps.
Stepping out for some promotional duties, Anna Kendrick showed up at the ArcLight Hollywood Cinemas on Wednesday night (February 11).
The "Pitch Perfect" starlet was joined by costar Jeremy Jordan as she posed for photos ahead of the big premiere of their new movie "The Last Five Years."
Ever since the first film took over the world we've been waiting for a sequel and now "Pitch Perfect 2" is on its way to theaters.
She's one of the most lovable actresses in Tinseltown and Anna Kendrick is gearing up for a special performance at the 87th Academy Awards on February 22nd.
Executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron released a statement this week, noting, "Out of the woods and on to the Oscar stage, Anna will be performing something special that is sure to be an 'Only on the Oscars' moment."
Unlike many of her celebrity peers, she's managed to keep her act together in Tinseltown and Anna Kendrick is sharing some great tidbits in her O The Oprah Magazine feature.
The "Pitch Perfect" stunner reveals her best guilty pleasure as part of her "My Best Life" interview- "I Love spending hours scrolling through baking blogs. I like reading about people's journeys to master a recipe. It feels like a small victory in the world."
Treating herself to a smashing good time, Anna Kendrick
headed over to the Beverly Hilton Hotel to catch all the action at the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards tonight (January 11).
Always a fan favorite, the "Into the Woods" star looked lovely in her designer ensemble while mingling with fellow famous folks in the arrivals area.
He's never afraid to take a chance on a role, and Ryan Reynolds gets a little nutty in his forthcoming film "The Voices." The "Van Wilder" hunk is joined by Anna Kendrick, Gemma Arterton and Jacki Weaver in the flick, slated to hit theaters on February 6th.
Talk about some serious girl power, Ellen DeGeneres welcomed Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep and Anna Kendrick to her popular talk show this week.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said two men's recent guilty pleas of forcing a 14-year-old into prostitution is the latest of eight sex trafficking convictions obtained by his office since tougher penalties for such crimes took effect in 2007.
"The defendants in this case admitted to forcing a young girl to perform sexual acts with various men against her will," Brown said. "Sex trafficking is a serious and disturbing crime that my office continues to vigorously pursue and prosecute."
According to the DA, Shaquan Gould, of 135-38 123rd St. in South Ozone Park, and Evan Harrington, of 658 E. 234th St. in the Bronx, both 21, pleaded guilty to the charges of sex trafficking in Queens Supreme Court last Thursday.
The men were accused of bringing the 14-year-old victim to Gould's house on approximately April 19 of this year and forcing the girl to engage in prostitution acts in the home and give her earnings to them, according to the DA's office.
According to the charges, the victim told Harrington she did not want to work for him or Gould anymore, but Harrington allegedly told her she was not allowed to leave and hit her in the face and torso.
The victim escaped April 26 and called a relative who called the police, a release from the DA's office said.
Queens Supreme Court Justice Steve W. Paynter set sentencing for Oct. 23, and Harrington and Gould face three to nine years in prison, according to the DA release.

Wire reports
Texas Tech men's basketball coach Bob Knight used his hand to push player Michael Prince's chin while talking to him during a timeout during Monday night's game. Here's a look at some of the coach's outbursts over the years:
1976 — Upset over two turnovers in a Big Ten game, Knight grabs sophomore Jim Wisman by the jersey and jerks him into his seat.
1979 — Knight is charged and later convicted in absentia for hitting a policeman before practice at the Pan American Games in Puerto Rico.
1980 — Playfully fires a blank shot at a reporter. A week later, Knight and his wife take turns chiding an Assembly Hall crowd for not cheering enough during a game.
1981 — Uses his weekly program to show films of a "sucker punch" involving Isiah Thomas and Purdue's Roosevelt Barnes, which he said proved Thomas' innocence. Brought a donkey wearing a Purdue cap onto his TV show. In Philadelphia for the Final Four, Knight gets into a shoving match with an LSU fan, who says the coach stuffed him into a garbage can.
1983 — Knight criticizes Big Ten officiating by standing at midcourt and cursing at Big Ten Commissioner Wayne Duke, who is in the press box. Two days later, Knight assails the referees for the "worst officiating I have seen in 12 years."
1985 — Tosses a chair across the court during a game against Purdue, prompting his ejection and a one-game suspension.
1986 — Receives technical foul for shouting at the officials during a game against Illinois, then kicks a megaphone and admonishes Indiana cheerleaders for disrupting a free-throw attempt by Steve Alford.
1987 — Bangs fist on the scorer's table after being assessed a technical foul during a game against LSU. NCAA fines university $10,000, and Knight receives a reprimand. Refuses to let his team finish an exhibition game against the Soviet Union after he was ejected for arguing with a referee. He's later reprimanded by the university.
1988 — In an NBC interview with Connie Chung, who asked how he handles stress, Knight says: "I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it." He explains he was talking about something beyond one's control, not the act of rape.
1991 — Asks not to be renominated to the Basketball Hall of Fame, calling the voters' rejection of him in 1987 a "slap in the face." Nevertheless, he was elected and inducted into the Hall. Publicly feuds with Illinois coach Lou Henson, who called him a "classic bully" who thrived on intimidation. Bars a female Associated Press reporter from the locker room, saying it was inappropriate for her to be there and also against university policy. All reporters subsequently were barred from the locker room.
1992 — Gives a mock whipping to Calbert Cheaney, a black player, during practice for the NCAA West Regional, offending several black leaders. Knight denies any racial connotations and notes the bullwhip was given to him by the players.
1993 — Is suspended for one game after a sideline tirade in a 101-82 victory over Notre Dame in which he screams at his player son, Pat, and kicks at him. When fans behind the Indiana bench boo, Knight turns and responds with an obscenity.
1994 — Head-butts Sherron Wilkerson while screaming at him on the bench but says it was unintentional. After the next game, the Hoosiers' home finale against Wisconsin, Knight takes the public address microphone and recites a profane verse directed at his critics.
1995 — Is reprimanded and fined $30,000 by the NCAA for an outburst at a news conference at NCAA tournament. Upset that an NCAA media liaison erroneously says he would not attend the news conference, Knight lashes out at him.
1998 — Is fined $10,000 by the Big Ten for berating referee Ted Valentine, whose officiating Knight calls "the greatest travesty" he had seen in his coaching career. Knight receives three technical fouls and is ejected by Valentine during the second half of a loss to Illinois.
1999 — Is investigated for possible battery after allegedly choking a man at a restaurant. The man reportedly confronted Knight as he was leaving, contending he heard Knight make a racist remark. Prosecutor refuses to file charges. Assistant Ron Felling is fired after Knight allegedly throws him out of a chair after hearing him criticize the program.
2000 — Is investigated in March by university after former player Neil Reed says Knight choked him at a practice in 1997. In May, Knight's suspended for three games, ordered to pay a $30,000 fine and barred from having physical contact with a player or university employee by IU President Myles Brand after an investigation found a pattern of inappropriate behavior. Is accused on Sept. 7 of grabbing a student by the arm, cursing and lecturing him about manners after the coach was addressed "Hey, Knight, what's up?" Three days later, Knight's fired for violating "zero-tolerance" policy and for what university President Myles Brand calls a "pattern of unacceptable behavior."
2001 — General manager at the Compaq Center in Houston says Knight, now coach at Texas Tech, offered to fight him over remarks the coach made about the arena's locker room — it "would have been very, very cramped with four midgets."
2003 — Launches into a profanity-filled tirade after an ESPN reporter asks about his relationship with former player Steve Alford, who also was participating in the interview. Alford's Iowa team was playing Texas Tech in Dallas. Knight later apologized.
2004 — Gets into a loud verbal spat with Texas Tech's chancellor at an upscale Lubbock grocery store. Is reprimanded — but not suspended — by the university.
2006 — Approaches Michael Prince, using his hand to push his chin, apparently in an effort to get him to look up while talking to Knight during a timeout.

Amnesty slams 'bankrupt' vision of US in damning report
Page Tools
The United States has proved "bankrupt of vision and bereft of principle" in its fight against terrorism and invasion of Iraq, human rights group Amnesty International charged yesterday in a scathing report.
The London-based organisation's 2004 report, while also damning of rights violations in dozens of other nations, particularly targeted the Washington-led "war on terror" for sanctioning abuses in the name of freedom.
The unilateral nature of the conflict to unseat Saddam Hussein in Iraq had additionally "virtually paralysed" the United Nations' role in guaranteeing human rights on a global level, Amnesty said.
The 339-page document, which detailed the human rights situation in 157 nations and territories, reserved the most column inches for the United States, with damning criticism also meted out to global giants Russia and China.
Other perennial violators were also highlighted such as North Korea, Cuba and the central Asian state of Turkmenistan, where Amnesty summarised the human rights situation simply as "appalling".
However the overriding theme of the report, outlined by Amnesty International Secretary General Irene Khan in an opening statement, singled out the United States for condemnation.
"The global security agenda promulgated by the US administration is bankrupt of vision and bereft of principle," she charged.
"Sacrificing human rights in the name of security at home, turning a blind eye to abuses abroad and using pre-emptive military force where and when it chooses have neither increased security nor ensured liberty."
The notion of fighting a campaign against terrorism so as to support human rights while simultaneously trampling on them to achieve this was no more than "double speak", she added.
The year 2003 had also "dealt a mortal blow" to the UN's vision of universal human rights, with the global body "virtually paralysed in its efforts to hold states to account" over the issue.
While the report only briefly dealt with damning allegations that US and British troops tortured Iraqi prisoners - these came to light relatively recently - it had harsh words about the nations' overall record in Iraq.
"Coalition forces failed to live up fully to their responsibilities as occupying powers, including their duty to restore and maintain public order and safety, and to provide food, medical care and relief assistance," the report's section on Iraq said.
Elsewhere, Amnesty detailed a long list of abuses in Russia, noting that the country's security forces "continue to enjoy almost total impunity for serious violations of human rights and international law" in the breakaway republic of Chechnya.
China, despite the accession of a new political regime under President Hu Jintao during 2003, had made "no significant attempt" to end the use of torture and other abuses, which "remained widespread", the report said.
In the Middle East, both Israel and the Palestinian Authority were taken to task for alleged rights violations, with Amnesty saying that some actions by the Israeli army, such as the destruction of property, "constituted war crimes".
One of the most damning assessments was handed to Cuba - a "severe deterioration in the human rights situation" during 2003, most notably through the jailing of dozens of dissidents after "hasty and unfair" trials.

CLAUNCH-L ArchivesArchiver > CLAUNCH > 2001-07 > 0994648344
Subject: Jeremiah Claunch descendents in KY, TN, TX
Date: 8 Jul 2001 21:12:24 -0600
I am going to post parts of a letter that I received back in 1984 from a shirt-tail cousin who was a Claunch researcher at that time. It provides quite a bit of foundational information about Jeremiah Claunch and Pulaski Co., KY descendents who moved farther west.
You may know that the Pulaski Co., KY Claunches descend thru Jeremiah and Jane Claunch. They settled in that area in early 1790's. He must have died in late 1790's and Jane re-married in 1804 to Zachariah Adams. She died 1841 at age 85 and was buried in Flat Lick Church Cemetery. They appear to be living in Washington Co., VA prior to the move into KY.
Ernestine descends from William and Jane Claunch thru their dau., Cassandra, who married Lafayette Moore. She has a letter written in 1928 by Alexander Moore of Ash Grove, MO, who was a son of Cassandra & Lafayette Moore. I have a copy of this letter in which he states the Claunches came from Holland, originally, and that his grandparents, William Claunch and Jennie McKenzie, had 10 children. He named 9 of those children, and we still aren't sure who was the 10th child. The 9 he named were: Betsy Smith, Ann Gastineau, Nancy Yancey, Cyrus, Josiah (later refered to as "Uncle Joe"), Peggy Nichols, Cassa Moore, William, and Jim.
He mentioned that Uncle Joe's two daus., Martha and Amanda, lived "here in Ash Grove," and that "Uncle Jim's son, William, went to Texas many years ago." The letter was signed--Alex Moore.
From this we know the 9 children: 1. William, Jr. died 27 Jun 1847-left a noncupative Will (did not name a wife or any children) 2. Cyrenius--married Minerva M. Huff 3. Josiah AKA "Joseph"--married Elizabeth Moore 4. Nancy married John C. Yancy 5. Anna--marrie William Gastineau 6. Cassandra--marrie Lafayette Moore (bro. to Elizabeth) 7. Margaret "Peggy"--married Thomas B. Nichols 8. Elizabeth--married John Smith, Jr. 9. James-married Susannah Barron 10. ?
We believe William was a son of Jeremiah and Jane Claunch. Jane remarried Zachariah Adams, and she left the bulk of her land to her son, Christopher Claunch, because he took care of her in her old age.
You have a copy of Christopher's Will which names his surviving children. Besides those, we think another son was the Christopher C. or G. Claunch, b. 21 Oct 1816, d. 23 Apr, 1839, buried in James Family Cemetery, next to Christopher. so, for Christopher and Mary "Polly" Hardister Claundh we have these children: 1. Jane--married William Cox 2. Thomas Jefferson--married Dorcas Gillispie 3. Christopher C. of G.--died 1839, buried next to Christopher 4. Nancy--married Patrick Gillispie 5. William M.--married 1st Elizabeth Richardson 6. Mary "Polly" Ann--married Henry S. Guyer 7. Catherine--married William Logan Graves.
The John Claunch who married Susannah Richardson ins 1815--not 1811 was a son of Jeremiah and Jane. There were 2 Johns on 1850 Census which is confusing. The John and Susan on 1850 Census would have been awfully young to have been married in 1815. Yet only one John appears on the earlier census records.
The marriage of Jeremiah Claunch to S. Richardson in Book I is an error. Scratch it! Jeremiah married Elizabeth Kelly and this family migrated to McNairy Co., TN. I believe he was a son of Jeremiah and Jane.
As you probably noticed before, Cyrus and Cyrenius are the same person--my Cyrenius Clounch is the (age 14) one living in the family of Fountain Cundiff. Sarah Hamm was age 17 in the family of Nancey Faris. They were married in 1861 with Nancy Faris, kinship unknown, declaring the bride was 26 yers. old, and the groom was (over) 21.
Hopefully this information will help someone in their research efforts.

With the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs, the start of the off-season comes. At the very start of the off-season is the buy-out window, which will also feature compliance buy-outs for the second season in a row. For a team like Edmonton, that needs so much help, could a player that gets bought out help fill some holes? It's possible, and there is going to be some talent out there this year.
Let's look at the most likely buy-out candidates and if they could help this Oilers roster.
Chris Kelly – Boston Bruins – Center: The Bruins are entering a bad spot cap wise, and could be inclined to dump one of their overpaid bottom-six forwards. The B's will have to re-sign a number of players, and make upgrades on an estimated $9 M in cap space. Add in rumors that bonuses put them over the cap last year and they will have to pay those this year, and it's clear to see they need relief here.
Kelly is a good player, but at $3 M per season he is overpaid. He's decent offensively, and is very good defensively, is great in the circle, great on the PK, and is a good guy in the room by all accounts. The B's considered buying him out last year, and the team proved it could survived without him, as he missed time with injury this year.
If Kelly were to get bought out, he'd be a decent bottom-six center for Edmonton at the right price. He's still a good NHL player.
Brad Richards – New York Rangers – Center: Richards is the biggest name on this list, but there is a reason he is on the list for a second season in a row. Richards has a ton of talent, but he is starting to slow down, and he struggled for stretches during the Rangers run to the Cup Final this spring. Richards has a massive contract and has declining point production, a bad mix.
The Rangers need some cap space, and will need to add a big gun offensively this summer, and the cash tied up by Richards could give them that player. A buy-out is likely here.
This is a player that could very well help Edmonton out, but only at the right price. Richards would be a great role model for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and is still producing at a top-six rate. He's not the player he once was, point wise or advanced stats wise, but he is still a good player that can play top-six minutes. Again, if the money is right, Edmonton should be all over him.
Ville Leino – Buffalo Sabres – Forward: Maybe the worst contract in Sabre history, Leino has been one of the biggest busts in free agent history after signing a monster deal a few July's ago. He scored a grand total of zero goals in 58 games this season, and finished with just 15 points, an awful year by anyone's standards.
He's been terrible since signing on with Buffalo in nearly every regard, maxing out at just 25 points in 71 games in his first year. His Corsi For % has been in the low 40's as well the last two years, and he is barely a solid NHL'er at this point.
His career has fallen off of the cliff, and he will likely have to rebuild it on a short term contract, or even in Europe next season. The Oilers don't have room for a small player who has bad possession numbers and can't score. This is one buy-out candidate with no use for the team.
Marty Havlat – San Jose Sharks – Winger: Whether he is a buy-out or a trade we aren't sure, but Havlat is done in San Jose, the Sharks have said as much. Havlat is on the down-swing, and hasn't been the same player since he left Chicago a few years back. He had only 22 points this year, with twelve of them being goals, but it came in 48 games.
His Corsi For % was pretty good at 50.3%, but playing for the Sharks makes it better than it looks, and to be honest that isn't a great number for a team that was a juggernaut during the regular season. He was awful in the one playoff game he got into, and he clearly was no longer a trusted option in San Jose.
He was a healthy scratch at times and wasn't trusted like he used to be, while his Corsi For % and point totals started to decline. Marty Havlat was a good player, but it's clear he is on the back nine. He doesn't exactly help the Oilers anywhere, and the team should pass on him.
David Booth – Vancouver Canucks – Winger: Seen as a major get when he was acquired, David Booth has struggled in a big way offensively in Vancouver. His Corsi For % is pretty good, as he was at 52% on a non-playoff team in 66 games this past season. He was over 60% in 2012-13, but only played in 12 games that year.
Offensively, he's struggled. During an injury riddle 2013 shortened season, he scored three points in 12 games, and this past year registered only 19 in 66 games. That's ten goals total (one in 2013, nine this year) in his last full season. Injuries have also played a big factor here as well, as Booth just can't stay healthy anymore.
That all being said, Booth has decent size and isn't exactly an old player, in fact he is only 29 years old. He's still got talent, and his advanced stats are pretty good. He could use a change of scenery, and could be a good bounce-back bet on a small, low-risk deal.
To me, a guy like Booth, with good offensive potential, size and other intangibles is a decent risk contract, and I'd consider him for a bottom six role in Edmonton.

Obama's celebration of failure
President Obama announced this week that 7.1 million Americans enrolled in the Affordable Care Act. Whatever that means.
First, let's go over the administration's dishonest history of that 7.1 million number.
On June 24, 2013, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters 7 million enrollees by March 31, 2014, was the goal. She reiterated this goal in September during an interview with NBC News: "I think success looks like at least 7 million people having signed up by the end of March 2014."
The goal of 7 million enrollees had been set, twice, and it was time to get the job done. But as the months flew by, it started to look more and more like the administration wouldn't be hitting its magic number. In response to the slow trickle of sign-ups, White House press secretary Jay Carney, at a January daily briefing, declared that the 7 million enrollee figure was never the White House goal.
Fast-forward to April Fools' Day 2014, less than 24 hours after the original open-enrollment period for ObamaCare ended, and Barack Obama arrogantly entered the Rose Garden with his head held high to announce: "Last night, the first open-enrollment period under this law came to an end. And despite several lost weeks out of the gate because of problems with the website, 7.1 million Americans have now signed up for private insurance plans through these marketplaces — 7.1."
The crowd cheered. Nancy Pelosi clapped and Barack Obama smiled. Joe Biden did weird things with his face.
To recap, when it looked highly unlikely the White House would meet its enrollment goal, the White House denied ever having one. Then, after a bogus "surge in enrollment," which came only after the administration redefined and extended the enrollment period with no accountability for actually signing up for a plan, the administration wildly celebrated the original enrollment goal it claimed it never made.
In socialist systems, mediocrity and failure are celebrated. Propaganda and changing stories by government are also tolerated. This is exactly what we saw happen this week at the White House.
Americans are paying trillions of dollars to keep ObamaCare from dying in the bureaucratic system. The projected cost has gone from $900 billion in 2010 to $2.3 trillion in 2014. The administration has spent $600 million on a website that was not only down for weeks when it launched, but crashed on the final day of the enrollment period. Further, team Obama has spent $648 million in taxpayer money on advertising to bring some positive PR to the legislation and to get young people enrolled. When you break down these numbers, the federal government has spent millions of dollars per person in order to enroll 2 percent of the country in a massive government program.
To make matters worse, just 53 percent of Americans are paying federal taxes funding this boondoggle.
The website failed. The advertisements failed. But that didn't stop Democrats and the White House from celebrating 7.1 million ObamaCare enrollees, which amounts to just 23 percent of the uninsured population in America and just 2 percent of the entire American population.
Finally, with the recent "good" news about enrollments, President Obama is back to personally calling the Affordable Care Act ObamaCare.

Complaints against health professionals under Australia's new national regulation system are taking years to process, leaving patients aggrieved and practitioners in turmoil for long periods of time.
There are also concerns about the way in which complaints are being assessed and resolved by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, with patients and practitioners saying the regulator has let them down while leaving the community at risk.
Submissions to a state government inquiry into the agency, which has been operating since 2010, reveal that complaints against doctors are taking more than two years to be investigated, and some complaints are being considered behind closed doors with little transparency about decisions.
As the agency deals with a 25 per cent surge in complaints against doctors nationwide this year, medical groups, hospitals, insurers and patients are calling for greater scrutiny and reform of the agency, which was set up largely because of concerns about rogue practitioners and patient safety.
The Australian Society of Orthopaedic Surgeons is so dissatisfied with AHPRA that it has called for it to give up control of registration and disciplinary matters, which, the surgeons say, should be totally returned to state-based medical boards.
The head of advocacy for medical indemnity insurer Avant, Georgie Haysom, said her company had assisted several doctors with AHPRA investigations that went on for more than two years, causing ''significant distress and disruption to the health practitioner concerned, as well as to the notifier''.
In her submission to the inquiry, she said the regulator had also lost important documents in some cases, denied health practitioners natural justice and procedural fairness, and risked reducing public confidence in the complaints handling system.
Dr Anjali Dhulia, the director of medical services at Southern Health, which includes Monash Medical Centre and Dandenong Hospital, said she was also concerned about delays with complaints made under mandatory notification laws which compel doctors to report colleagues for sexual misconduct, drug and alcohol abuse, or mental and physical impairments. In her submission, she said the agency was too slow to respond to such reports and that health services expected the agency to provide information about the investigation and ''reasonable time frames for resolution''.
Victoria's acting health services commissioner ,Dr Grant Davies, said that although AHPRA had improved over time his office had experienced delays in dealing with the agency when the two organisations were trying to decide which one would investigate certain complaints.
In a submission, Dr Davies also raised concern about how panel hearings of complaints against health practitioners were being carried out. He said panel members, who decide whether practitioners will be given a reprieve or penalised for wrongdoing, had expressed concern about a lack of supervision of their work. He said ongoing professional development and training for these people was ''critically important''.
Furthermore, Dr Davies said, the national law governing AHPRA's procedures meant people who complained about health professionals - or ''notifiers'' - were given inadequate responses about why the agency had decided on particular outcomes. ''They are not told why a matter has been concluded. The only information provided to the notifier is the outcome of the notification, whether 'no further action' is to be taken or a limitation to registration [is the outcome],'' he wrote, adding that this often caused people to pursue other avenues for complaints that may or may not still be open to them.
In submissions to the inquiry, AHPRA and the Medical Board of Australia said that the national scheme had been implemented successfully, but it was still working to improve its systems, including the management of complaints.

Dakota Johnson Meets With 'Fifty Shades' Author E.L. James
Fans can protest all they like, but the Fifty Shades of Grey team is standing by their Anatasia Steele.
Following a week of backlash since she scored the part, Dakota Johnson got a chance to bond with the bestseller's author E.L. James and the producer of the film adaptation, Dana Brunetti, in New York City.
"The beautiful, talented, funny as feck, Dakota Johnson," James wrote on Twitter, sharing a snap from their Saturday afternoon together. "Oh and that bloke @danabrunetti."
Meanwhile, on the opposite coast, Charlie Hunnam — who will play sexy billionaire business Christian Grey, who seduces Johnson's college-aged Anatastia Steele — boasted about their on-screen chemistry.
"As soon as we got in the room and started reading with Dakota, I knew that I definitely wanted to do it, because there was a tangible chemistry between us," he told reporters in L.A. over the weekend. "It felt kind of exciting and fun and weird and compelling, so that was it."
Fifty Shades of Grey, which will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, starts production this fall. It's due out in 2015.

"The whole story is completely false," said Supreme National Security Council secretary Hassan Rowhani.
The FBI has reportedly begun an inquiry to see who passed information to Mr Chalabi and if it damaged US security.
Officials said the alleged leak helped cause a parting of ways between the US and its former favourite Iraqi leader.
According to US officials, Mr Chalabi told Iran's chief spy in Baghdad in April that the US was reading the Iranian intelligence service's communications traffic.
US intelligence is said to have discovered the alleged betrayal when it read a cable which the station chief sent to his superiors in Iran detailing the conversation with Mr Chalabi.
"Chalabi was mostly in America. Sometimes, we met him at conferences, for example in London or northern Iraq. Iran had no special intelligence contacts or activities with Chalabi and we don't have now," Mr Rowhani said.
He also scoffed at the report that the US had intercepted a cable to Tehran.
"Between Iran and Iraq is an open border. To get a document is easy and there is no need to message it on the telex so that the United States may intercept it. The story is wrong from its foundation," Mr Rowhani said.
Intelligence questioned
Much has changed since last year, when Mr Chalabi was one of the first Iraqi exiles to be flown back into Iraq following the US-led invasion.
He became increasingly distanced from Washington after criticising the US-led coalition and that allegations that he was linked to Iranian hardliners.
The US has since questioned the quality of intelligence provided by his party, the Iraqi National Congress, in the run-up to the invasion.
The Pentagon had been paying Mr Chalabi's party $335,000 a month as part of an intelligence-gathering programme, but cut off funding last month.
A few days later, American and Iraqi forces raided his home and offices, seizing documents and computers.
The New York Times says it knew of the allegation against Mr Chalabi for some time, but was asked by the Bush administration to withhold publication in order to avoid compromising a vital intelligence operation.
That request was withdrawn on Tuesday, says the paper. Mr Chalabi has strenuously denied passing any classified information to Iran.
An official at his Iraqi National Congress party said the report was "fabricated" and part of "a campaign to marginalise our role because we have been demanding full sovereignty from the US-led coalition".

Release Date: Apr 23, 2013
Larimer County Sheriff's Office
John Schulz, Public Information Officer
Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith will host a School Safety Summit tomorrow, April 24th, at the Larimer County Sheriff's Office. Representatives from the three school districts in Larimer County and law enforcement officials from Fort Collins, Loveland, Timnath, Berthoud, Windsor, Estes Park and Larimer County will attend.

A discussion of building a stronger on-going dialog between school safety personnel and law enforcement will be followed by looking at future threats. Larimer County Sheriff's Office Patrol Captain John Manago will facilitate the discussions.
Sheriff Smith said, "School safety is a top priority for all of the law enforcement agencies in Larimer County. We hope these discussions will strengthen an already solid relationship with the schools and provide a coordinated plan for the future."

Collapsed buildings aren't the only thing plaguing 16th Street lately. According to a flier posted on the block, there's a "large, lean dark grey cat" roaming the area and bullying both felines and humans alike.
"Your cat comes to my yard all the time," the note said, "and has attacked my cats in my yard on many occasions! It hisses and snarls at me when I go into my own yard and he is there."
Are aggressive cats, feral or otherwise, common in the area? Our cat was an indoor cat, but for those of you who let your pets outside, what are some issues (if any) that you've had with their safety in the neighborhood?
On the flip side, if you knew your cat was the aggressor, would you continue to let them out?

This Air Force 1 Supreme "Huarache" has been talked about for a couple months now since pictures first surfaced of it months ago from a Mom & Pop shop in New York. Since then we have seen a few higher quality pictures of the Air Force 1 that is inspired from the original Nike Huarache collection designed by Tinker Hatfield. And now it's time to give you a detailed look at these Supreme AF1's, scheduled to drop in a few months. This AF1 features an all White upper that uses a rich premium leather with the Nike Air logo lasered in the heel but the best part about these shoes is the Ice midsole and outsole that really gives the shoes a personality of it's own. In order to show that the shoe's inspiration came from the Nike Huarache lineage of sneakers the Air Force 1's tongue was changed up a little bit to resemble some of the original Nike Huarache sneaker shoe tongues. Look for these to drop at select Nike Sportswear doors in the upcoming months.

Employers in the automotive service and repair industries prefer to hire individuals who have received training from automotive schools. In Oregon, it typically takes between six months and one year to complete these training programs. Through both hands-on experience and classroom-based coursework, auto mechanic schools in Oregon prepare students to work with the latest automotive, diesel and motorcycle technology. Online education programs allow working professionals to develop advanced skills in areas such as automotive HVAC, transmissions, routine maintenance and more, all while earning a certificate or degree.
In addition to finishing an education at an auto mechanic school, students may want to pursue certification from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). ASE certification is considered to be the industry standard and is available in several different areas such as truck equipment and service. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, auto mechanics and service technicians in Oregon earned a mean annual salary of approximately $40,580 in 2016. Bus and truck mechanics earned nearly $46,160, while automotive body repairers earned approximately $43,270.

About the Book
I'd been looking at Lock Baker's work for some time before finally meeting him. In person, he's not at all what I'd expected based on having seen some of the downright outrageous designs roll from his shop, Eastern Fabrications.
To be totally honest, I had no idea what to expect based on seeing his machines... they were just that different.

Apple House Play Set
So adorable! Such a lovely travel friendly play set for wee ones 10 months and up. I love how the apple tree has holes for the animals to crawl through.
I'm not sure what I'm more excited about - my daughter opening this present on Christmas or all the fun I'm going to have playing with her with this amazing toy.Added 8 Years Ago from Magic Cabin
This amazing play tent can be used indoors or out to instantly create a woodland hideaway. It features lots of great details like a mushroom chimney, weighted "roots" for stability, and a detachable plush squirrel and owl.
