Mozilla has released an update to their Firefox web browser, bringing us up to version 3.6.4.
The biggest addition to the latest version is the new 'crash protection' feature (as we reported about when it was being tested in the Firefox 3.6.4 beta). If you're a Windows or Linux user (sorry Mac users, you'll have to wait for this one), you can browse the web with more protection from third party plugin crashes when playing online games or viewing video content within sites.
How does this work? If a plugin that you are using happens to crash, you can simply refresh the page, without worrying about the whole browser crashing with the current tab.
"Mozilla recognizes that third-party plugins provide important functionality in many of today's websites. At the same time, plugins can lead to problems for users as they browse. With the ability to automatically alert users when they have out of date plugins, and now crash protection, Firefox 3.6.4 allows users to experience all the content they love without any of the hassles."
Presently, the new crash protection feature offers protection against crashes due to Adobe's Flash, Apple Quicktime and Microsoft Silverlight. In addition to this, the new update also fixes other general issues with security and stability.
If you're already a Firefox web browser user, you can grab the new update by going to 'Help' > 'Check for Updates', where it will be downloaded and applied the next time you start your browser. Alternatively, if you don't currently have Firefox installed on your machine, you can download the this web browser from the Mozilla website.
Also, remember that you can apply custom Firefox themes/skins to the browser and even pick a World Cup Firefox theme to show your support for your country if you wish!

Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: There is great interest to quantify the fate and transport of chemicals in porous media out of concern for contamination of the subsurface environment. The program CXTFIT 2.0 can predict the chemical concentration versus depth and time for several different transport scenarios involving stead water flow. The program also allows the estimation of transport parameters by fitting analytical solutions to experimental observations. The program also includes a stream tube model, which attempts to simulate transport in heterogeneous media by assuming that the field is made up of transport in heterogeneous media by assuming that the field is made up of parallel stream tubes, each with different transport properties. Averages solute concentrations for the field are obtained by averaging the results for all stream tubes. Examples are given on how transport parameters may be determined from laboratory or field tracer experiments for several types of initial and boundary conditions, as well as different zero-order production profiles. A detailed description is provided of the computer program, including the subroutines used to evaluate the analytical solutions for optimizing model parameters. Input and output files for all major problems are included in this manual.
Technical Abstract: Successful predictions of the rate and transport of solutes in the subsurface hinges on the availability of accurate transport parameters. WE modified and updated the original CXTFIT code of Parker and van Genuchten of 1984 for estimating solute transport parameters using a nonlinear least-squares parameter optimization method. The program may be used to solve the inverse problem by fitting mathematical solutions of theoretical transport models, based upon the convection- dispersion equation (CDE), to experimental results. This approach allows parameters in the transport models to be quantified. The program may also be used to solve the direction or forward problem to determine the concentration as a function of time and/or position. Three different one-dimensional transport models are included: (I) the conventional CDE; (ii) the chemical and physical nonequilibrium CDE; and (iii) a stochastic stream tube model based upon the local-scale CDE with equilibrium or nonequilibrium adsorption. The two independent stochastic parameters in the stream-tube model are the pore-water velocity, v, and either the dispersion coefficient, D, the distribution coefficient, Kd, or the nonequilibrium rate parameter, a. These pairs of stochastic parameters were described with a bivariate lognormal probability density function (pdf).

The gedwëy ignasia (meaning "shining palm" in the Ancient Language) was the mark of a Dragon Rider, shining brightly whenever the Rider used his magic. This was a direct result of the Rider-Dragon Bond and it was a silver diffused spiral oval marking that appeared on the Rider's palm after the Rider first touched his dragon. It forms with a flash of light and as Arya described it, it feels like cold water is rushing through you. Depending on the Rider, this could be on either the left or the right palm. Generally, the hand bearing the gedwëy ignasia was the hand the Rider used to direct his magic. It is also called Argetlam, meaning "Silver Hand". The mark does not necessarily have to be on the hand. The mark is placed wherever the dragon touched you first. In Eragon's case that was on his right hand. But it could be anywhere like your neck or your leg. The mark is commonly placed on the hand, because when the rider's first see the dragons, they put their hand out to touch it.
Eragon's gedwëy ignasia was on his right hand, while Murtagh's was on his left. This is probably because left-handedness is traditionally a sign of wickedness, to the extent that left-handed men in the medieval age could not become knights, because it was believed that they were the sons of the devil though it should be mentioned that Arya's gedwëy ignasia is also on her left hand.
Film version Edit
To the movie adaption, the gedwëy ignasia looks like a spiral-shaped scar resembling a stylized "e".
Elva Edit
Elva bore this as a star mark on her forehead. It was given to her by Saphira and she has been nicknamed "Shining Brow" because of it. The spell(or "blessing") Eragon used gave her the ability to sense when she or any one around her was in danger.
Etymology Edit
Airgetlám, often anglicized as Argetlam, is directly out of the Lebor Gabala Erenn (The Books of Invasions of Ireland). In Old Irish it means "Silver Hand". This is, again, from the Ancient Language.
Airgetlám comes from the story of Nuada Airgetlám, the first king of Tuatha dé Danaan. Nuada lost his arm in a battle against his rivals, which according to his peoples laws made him ineligible to remain their king. Nuada relinquished the throne to Bres, who ruled for seven years. During the seven year reign of Bres, Nuada's arm was replaced by Dian Cecht with one of silver, from which he retained the name Airgetlám. After receiving the arm, Nuada was restored to his throne and ruled for 20 more years.
Argetlam and Arget, the word for silver in the Ancient Language, are similar to Argentum which is the Latin word for silver.

23 Celebrities That Have Been Seriously Robbed
In entering the celebrity world, all the fame, glory and glamor is not all that celebrities sign up for. By being in the spotlight, regardless of being a politician, an actor, singer or just being famous for being famous sake and then landing a reality show (not calling any names), that title includes being a target for those sly criminals also.
From golden times to today's modern society, nobody guard or security firm can perfectly protect any celeb from any robbery. Whether it's their voluptuous jewelry being showcased on social media or their mansion of a house that holds magnificent art pieces or just very expensive clothing, there is always something to catch the eye of a thief in any celebrity home. And unfortunately, with such easy access to information via the internet, robberies have become so easily carried out by hacking security cameras and even just following these celebs on social media, criminals know their every move.
Whereas some of these criminal act may be minor, some are serious robberies that are even celebs can't believe happened.

PICHER, Okla. - Members of the Picher-Cardin, Quapaw and Commerce school boards agreed at a meeting Tuesday to a plan for a
voluntary annexation of Picher-Cardin students next year into the neighboring districts.
"It's well documented that our school has suffered many impacts," said Picher Superintendent Donald Barr.
Barr outlined a proposal that would divide his school district's area in half. "Each district will get about 8.5 square
miles of land added to their district," he said.
Barr said he would seek an independent appraisal of all property and assets so they can be divided equally.
"We have no debts at this time," he said. "If we had liability, it would be shared in a similar fashion."
The district's enrollment has dwindled this year to 52 students in kindergarten through grade 12 because of a federal buyout of
residents in the former mining area. The first phase of the buyout focused on families with young children.
Barr said the students in Picher will have the option of choosing which district they will attend next year.
"The permanent records will follow the students," he said. "Older records will go to the Ottawa County
Property that is not wanted by the two school districts could be sold at auction.
A resolution will be drafted for each board's consideration, but the official annexation procedure requires a vote of
Picher-Cardin residents, Barr said. No date for a vote has been set.
"We are here to assist in any way we can," said Jim Haynes, superintendent at Commerce.
Quapaw Superintendent Dennis Earp echoed that sentiment. "We will definitely welcome students," he said. "We've
taken several students, and we've enjoyed them."
Because of safety and health concerns after decades of lead mining in the area, Picher school officials placed a similar measure on
the ballot in February 2007, but the measure failed. There were 142 votes against the proposal to send Picher students to Commerce and Quapaw, and 132 votes
for the proposal.
School officials warned at the time that closing the district, which at one time had 450 students, was inevitable because of the
A report released in 2006 by the Army Corps of Engineers said much of the Picher area is heavily undermined, and that parts of the
town, including areas around the school buildings, could collapse.
The three boards also met in a closed session for about 50 minutes to discuss the employment status of certified and noncertified
Picher-Cardin employees, as well as possible severance compensation, but no action was taken.
Picher Elementary School Principal Kim Pace, a 30-year veteran of education who has taught her entire career in the district, said
she probably will retire at the end of the school year.
"This is distressing," Pace said about the proposed closure of the school. "It's about the worst thing I've
ever had to do."

PINEVILLE, Mo. - The wife of a county commissioner in Delaware County, Okla., will receive probation - conditioned on restitution
to her former employer - under a plea agreement with the McDonald County prosecutor's office, her attorney said Thursday.
Michelle Crowder, 41, of Grove, Okla., pleaded guilty Tuesday to felony stealing. Crowder, the wife of
Commissioner Kenneth Crowder, was charged in 2007 in McDonald County after allegedly embezzling money from Roper Gas Co., of Southwest City.
Michelle Crowder's attorney, Ross Rhoades, of Neosho, said the amount of restitution is still to be determined. Rhoades said
his client's estimate of what she took is between $30,000 and $35,000, although Roper Gas Co. claims she took more than $62,000, according to records.
An evidentiary hearing is planned for determining what the figure will be, Rhoades said.
A phone message left for McDonald County Prosecutor Janice Durbin was not returned Thursday. The owner of Roper Gas Co., Peter
Zouraeff, also was unavailable for comment.
There was no answer from repeated calls to the Crowder house in Grove on Thursday. Kenneth Crowder also could not be reached at the
commissioners' office.
Michelle Crowder was charged in August 2007 after Zouraeff told Southwest City police that she had admitted to taking money from
the company for her personal use, according to a probable-cause affidavit.
Zouraeff then called for an audit, which reportedly found that $62,632.99 was missing.
After the audit's findings, Zouraeff reportedly asked Michelle Crowder to talk with her husband and "see if he would make
the money good like he did two years ago for between $30,000 and $40,000 that she had embezzled," according to the probable-cause affidavit filed by Larry
Huston, assistant Southwest City police chief.
"Her husband said that he would make a $35,000 offer if Peter (Zouraeff) would keep it (quiet) like he did the last
theft," Huston later alleged. "Peter said no way and he was going to file charges on her."
Zouraeff testified during Michelle Crowder's preliminary hearing in January 2008 that she worked for the company from 2003
until about July 2007.
Up next
A sentencing hearing in the case of Michelle Crowder has been set for 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26.

Demolition of old Ottawa County Courthouse set to begin

[email protected]
MIAMI, Okla. - Demolition of the 91-year-old Ottawa County Courthouse in Miami will begin later this week.
County Commission Chairman Russell Earls said Monday that the commissioners awarded a contract to DT Specialized Services in Tulsa
for $68,055. The work is expected to take two weeks.
The contract was awarded a week ago, but the contractor was required to get a permit from the Oklahoma Department of Environmental
Quality for the work, Earls said.
The county grossed $15,000 from a recent auction of furniture, electrical boxes, doors, marble fixtures and other items that were
inside the old courthouse. Marble and granite fixtures were highly sought, Earls said.
"A number of us were sad once they took the marble out," Earls said. "It had a lot of attractive features."
Other debris will be buried about two miles from the courthouse, with the site to be seeded and restored to pasture, he said.
Once the demolition is complete, the area will be used to create 77 parking spaces, Earls said.
Stan Fimple, Oklahoma State University Extension specialist, said the move out of the old courthouse and into a renovated annex
across the street from the new courthouse is welcome.
"We have 10 times more space, and it's cleaner," Fimple said. "We don't have to deal with the dust blowing
in the windows."
The commission purchased the former IBC Bank building at a cost of $640,000 to house the OSU Extension office, small-claims court
and emergency operations. Before the move, public programs offered by the extension office were held in the Miami Civic Center or churches, or had to be
limited to 15 people because of the limited space in the old courthouse.
"You hate to see a historic building torn down, but that building was collapsing and sinking," Fimple said.
New courthouse
The new $5.2 million, two-story courthouse was constructed by Crossland Construction Co. of Columbus, Kan. Voters approved a quarter-cent sales tax for 30
years to finance the construction.

MIAMI, Okla. - The Miami City Council has voted to split the duties of city clerk and chief financial officer into two separate
The clerk and CFO positions were joined in 1986. Under the new measure, the CFO will be hired by and under the direction of the
city manager.
"I understand why they were combined 20 years ago," said Councilman Rudy Schultz. "I don't like to spend the
extra money, but, structurally, it's the thing to do."
Councilman John Dalgarn dissented in Monday's vote.
"I would just like to see us have a say in the hiring of a CFO," he said.
When City Manager Huey Long was asked whether a qualified CFO could be hired for $80,000 a year, he replied:
Long also stated his support of the city manager hiring the CFO.
"I'm concerned that we'll end up hindering our ability to hire a quality person if they're subjected to the
politics of the community," he said.
"As long as the council has jurisdiction over the city manager, you do have oversight," said Mayor Brent Brassfield.
Long said the council would have the opportunity to meet the final candidates and set the salary range.
"What I hear out on the street is they would like to see us rein in some of these high-dollar salaries," Dalgarn
Brassfield said the volume of regulations today and the complexities of government place a burden on one person charged with both
"Sometimes the cheapest person is not the most prudent financially," he said.
In other business, the council:
Adopted an emergency ordinance that establishes a retirement plan for Charles Tomlin, former city clerk and chief financial
officer. Tomlin's last day on the job was Monday after 29 years with the city.
Heard from Long that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has agreed to finance the demolition of 33 homes that were heavily
damaged in the July 2007 flood, saving the city about $150,000. The city has issued an appeal to FEMA regarding 16 more flooded homes for which funding
initially was denied.
Approved plans to seek a loan from the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency, not to exceed $180,000, for construction of two additional
homes in a subdivision started by the city for permanent housing for flood victims. The program is administered through the Miami Development Authority, and
homeowners are eligible for low-interest loans and grants for down payments. One of the two homes to be constructed already has been sold, said Larry Eller,
grant coordinator and community development director. The subdivision has three homes now occupied.

The Miami City Council on Monday approved the location of an arch that will span North Main Street in the 200 block. The arch will
carry the Route 66 logo.

QUAPAW, Okla. - The construction of Blue Stem Park, a new subdivision that is recycling old houses from Picher, is
progressing, with the first units set for possible occupancy in May.
Johnny Seeling, developer of the property, said 30 houses have been moved to the site, but two of them could not be remodeled
because of structural issues.
"We have some of the nicer houses on County Road 620, and 15 in back that are ready for sale," he said. "We
have three under contract."
The houses cannot be occupied because the permits for water and sewer service to the subdivision are still pending with the
town of Quapaw. Seeling said he hopes to have the permit issues resolved in the next 30 days. If that happens, water and sewer infrastructure could be
installed in April.
Electrical service to the subdivision has been installed. About 60 percent of the work associated with natural-gas service
has been completed.
"We've had a lot of interest," Seeling said. "We're cutting in interior streets right now, and
we'll pave them with asphalt after the water and sewer infrastructure is in place. It's beginning to be more like a place somebody would want to
About 90 other structures are awaiting relocation from Picher to Quapaw as the buyout of properties in the Superfund site
continues. A federal study found that much of Picher and Cardin is undermined, and to some degree at risk of collapse. The Lead-Impacted Communities Relocation
Assistance Trust was formed by state legislation to fund a voluntary buyout and relocation of residents.
Seeling said he has been told that the buyout of families could end later this year or early in 2010.
Homes lost
Johnny Seeling lost about 20 houses that could have been moved. The houses were destroyed by a tornado struck the south side
of Picher on May 10, 2008.

Recreational vehicle owners in Langley Township will be allowed two more months to park outside their homes.
The change was approved by council at the Monday afternoon (July 14) meeting after a staff report suggested extending the permitted residential parking period.
The allowable dates were between May 15 and Sept. 15, but since most storage lots bill on the first of the month, RV owners were paying for four weeks of parking that they didn't need, the report by bylaws manager Bill Storie said.
Storie proposed changing the dates to between May 1 and Sept. 30.
Councillor Kim Richter proposed extending the dates yet another month so that RV owners could park their rigs near their homes beginning April 1.
"[Some] people like to start camping as early as the Easter Long weekend," Richter said.
The change was quickly approved by a majority of council. The new April 1 to Sept. 30 dates are now in effect.
The Township tightened RV parking rules in 2011, only allowing them in front yards if they are at least 1.6 metres from the property line and only during camping season.
The rest of the time, owners must store their vehicles off their properties, or within the "side or rear confines" of their property as set out in the bylaw.

pinkish heirloom with flounce collar
This is one of a series of blouses I designed when i was learning to do heirloom techniques. It is made from a very tightly woven linen that is more opaque than some.
One technique i had wanted to use was a madeira border with a pinstitched edge. I like seeing the combination of two different fabrics for that so I combined it with a very lightweight tightly woven cotton that I had treasured for years. In order to make it obvious that they were intended to be together I tinted both so that they are the palest pink imaginable.
The blouse has a circular flounce at the neck and a bell sleeve which is modified circle ( cone shape). The body of the blouse is linen and the collar and cuffs are cut of the cotton and trimmed with a 1 1/4 inch band of linen.
The linen bands were cut to match the pieces they'd trim with 1/4 inch seam allowances on each side. I used a technique I had learned through Martha Pullen & Co. Wash away thread is used to sew the right sides of the bands together. After carefully turning them so that the curves are nice and smooth they get pressed with steam and spray starch until the thread dissolves. At that point the two pieces can be pulled apart leaving a nicely turned under curved edge.
Those bands got sewn to the blouse as one would sew a facing ... but with the facing on the outside. After clipping that seam and turning the band to the right side it is sewn in place with a wing needle and a pinstitch.
The blouse has bell sleeves with an inverted pleat and are joined to the blouse on a curved seam. The blouse closes with bias loops sewn into the left front, the buttons are sewn to a small placket inserted into the center front seam on the right side.
The entire outer edge of the blouse has a 1 1/4 band attached with a pinstitch.
Like my other heirloom garments this can be worn as a special occasion piece or with casual clothes. The fact that it is linen gives it a casually wrinkled look, something that I think makes it imminently more wearable.

Thursday Thirteen is a weekly meme with a simple theme: each Thursday you blog a list of 13 things. What kind of things? Any kind! Just come up with a list theme and run with it.
Brianna's List:
- Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward. Last book I read was Lover Avenged (book 7). I've lost interest in this series but I do want to read Lover Mine (which has been sitting on my shelf since release day) and Tohr's book. And maybe Qhuay's book.
- Sookie Stackhouse by Charlaine Harris. I started reading this series before I started book blogging. Then True Blood was created, which I watched until season 4. Now I need to read from book 10 onward.
- Shifters series by Rachel Vincent. Read the first book, which I enjoyed, and have been collecting the rest of the series.
- Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs. Left off with book 5. This is about the time I got burned out on PNR.
- Fast track by Erin McCarthy. I started reading Slow Ride (book 5) but it was very slow so I put it on the back burner.
- Play by Play by Jaci Burton. I've only read Thrown by a Curve so far. I definitely want to go back to the beginning and catch up on the series.
- The Sullivans by Bella Andre. Book one was okay but I like the author's voice so I'm going to keep going with the series.
- Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill. Read the first 3 books, need to catch up on the rest.
- Virgin River by Robyn Carr. Read book 16. I was thinking about going back to book 1 and catching up for there are A LOT of books in this series so I'm thinking I'll read only those that catch my interest.
- Tracers by Laura Griffin. I'm a romantic suspense junkie and Griffin writes some good RS.
- Divergent by Veronica Roth. I'm waiting until after Allegiant, the 3rd and final book, comes out. The probably I have with a continual series is that I forget what happens when I have to wait a year in between books. And I'm not a re-reader. So I prefer to read series back to back, unless it's a series where each book features a new hero and heroine.
- Razorland by Ann Aguirre. Same thing as with #11; I'm waiting until after Horde releases so I can read the books back to back.
- Dream Man by Kristen Ashley. I started with Motorcycle Man (book 4) because Tack is oh so popular with the readers I follow on Twitter. Now that I've read Tack's book (which was really good, my review to come soon), I want to go back and read the other books.
J9's List:
- Alexandra Ivy's Guardians of Eternity. Book 3, Darkness Everlasting, is one of my favorite paranormal romances EVER so I keep reading the series. I have the latest, book 10, that released in May but just can't get into it.
- Tina Folsom's Scanguard Vampires. I'm awaiting the series' only MM romance which is (hopefully) soon to be released but still need to read book 7, Oliver's Hunger. I didn't love book 6 at all and it's put me in a series' funk.
- Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling. Book 12, Heart of Obsidian, was just released to much fanfare but I object to the price.
- Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark. Book 13, MacRieve, was released this week but the series is financially risky for me since I hated book 12, Lothaire, and didn't love book 11, Dreams of a Dark Warrior.
- Tere Michael's Faith, Love & Devotion. Books 1, 3 and 4 feature one of my favorite MM couples, Matt and Evan but book 2 features another couple loosely connected to Matt and Evan. I will read it but it's expensive and I love Matt and Evan so much I almost don't want to include another couple in my series love!
- Rhyannon Byrd's Primal Instinct. Book 4, Touch of Seduction, was a stellar romance and though the next two were good, I just haven't finished the final two books in the series.
- Sherrilyn Kenyon's The League. I enjoyed the first 2 books but didn't pick up the rest.
- Gena Showalter's Angels of the Dark. I liked book 1 but heard book 2 was PG-13 and I need my x-rated material!
- Samantha Kane's Brothers in Arms. I enjoyed the first 5 books in this historical MMF ménage series but as the series went on the price increased and the story size decreased. I may still return to it.
- Lucy Monroe's Children of the Moon. Book 2 is one of my favorite historical/paranormal reads and I don't know why I haven't read books 4 and 5 yet.
- Courtney Milan's Turner. I loved book 1 and 3 but wasn't feeling the pompous hero of book 2 but still intend to read it.
- Jennifer Ashley's Highland Pleasures. Not sure how I missed book 4 or the two novellas but I absolutely intend to read them.
- Meljean Brook's Iron Seas. Book 3 will be mine as soon as the ebook price comes down a bit.
Which series do you need to catch up on?

Archive for October, 2009:
Omega Dog
I have to tell you, when you live in LA there are few things that startle you. In ten years there, I saw a coyote on the streets twice. But that's no big deal – you always hear about missing cats and how we, the people, had encroached on the coyotes' space so, of course, they were getting their revenge any way they could.
Weirder still, I was at the Coffee Bean one day and upon walking out to my car I saw a chicken. Just a random chicken out clucking in a nice neighborhood. Maybe the chicken truck driver had stopped at the strip mall for a Baja Burrito? Or maybe those sweet folks in the yellow house weren't able to afford market food given what they were paying for their mortgage? Maybe the eight foot tall fence concealed a working farm. Who knows? After I stood there, mouth open for about five minutes, the chicken just wandered off and I never saw another.
There was also a red macaw one day, flying in my neighborhood. And later the news reported a tiger walking the streets of Burbank. That one's bad. Someone owned an illegal tiger and it got away. Well, you can't just come out and say, 'oops! Did Fluffy get out?' 'cause they are going to haul you to jail for that one. You and Fluffy are never getting back together after he has been out terrorizing the kiddies.
Yes, there's all kinds of wildlife in LA and a lot of it ends up at the Humane Society. (No, it's not the 'pound', and it's not even an 'animal shelter' – the good folks balk at those terms!) I have two dogs from the LA system and my sister has had three.
Grammatical Crimes Squad: Qualifier Crackdown
For some reason, people have forgotten what a qualifier does. And because of this these words have been tossed about like seals in a shark pool.
In case you were unaware, a qualifier lessens a meaning. For example: Sylvia can be a redhead or (qualified) sortof a redhead. In the second instance we know that Sylvia's hair might be disputed as 'red'.
I'd also like to point out that Word gives that nasty red underline to 'kindof' and 'sortof' as these aren't real words. And I know that some of you may be cringing at the very use of them. But I'm okay with new words. I like words, legit or not. I am a firm believer that if you don't know of a word for the situation, you should use existing words to cobble a new one together. But you don't abuse the grammar. The rules are what allow us to know what's going on. A smart man is quite different from a smarting one.
My little brother once said that bad milk had a foresmell. You know this, that very faint odor that tells you something is wrong with the milk (even though you often ignore it and take that first, sputtering sip anyway.) There's no word for 'an indicative odor that prefaces a fermented food'. 'Foresmell' follows the rules using a common word and a known prefix. I think we should adopt it and kudos to my brother for making it up.
Grammatical Crimes Squad: Adjective Abuse
There's a serious crime out there. And it goes unpunished every day. In fact, to many people it's invisible, but for those who see it, it makes us cringe and wish we could put a stop to the horror. I'm talking about Adjective Abuse.
I'm not talking about the kind of misdemeanor that results from the slightly off adjective. Though that's often a bad thing, we can all live through "the grisly trees" or "a Curacao sky". In fact, from the right author we just might call it poetic.
Adjective Abuse occurs when the word either changes the meaning to something you know wasn't the intent or obscures the idea to the point of bad advertising.
Here's the most recent one I encountered . . . Perhaps you have seen one of the wand-waving, rune-gathering games that are popping up throughout the nation these days. The one we played this week involved "The Ancient Book of Wisdom". Um, right. The pages were printed on paper commonly referred to in business as 'slicks'. It was folded in the middle and stapled. And a fresh clean copy was handed to each participant. There was nothing ancient about this book. (In fact, even the term 'book' is a misnomer, it was really nothing more than a pamphlet.) I'm pretty sure they intended this thing to be "The Book of Ancient Wisdom." Though, since the company is quite new, I doubt there's anything ancient about it, wisdom included. Though I guess they don't really care about accuracy if you consider the way they are making money hand over fist – some of it mine!
Game day, Game brain.
I'm not sure what it is about a good game that makes people go nucking futs. But there's a clear and undeniable mental shift that occurs when sitting in the stands. And, honestly, none of it reflects well on us.
Within the past five days I have attended an NHL game, a college soccer game, and a JV high school football game. I am seriously played out. But doing so many games in such a short period has left some lasting impressions. Though everything one does at a game seems to be a mental regression, maybe there's a good point to it. You know, even besides backing a winning team.
Where else can you stand up and yell "That's it!" at the top of your lungs and not be looked at like you had a very sudden bout of Mad Cow Disease? Try yelling anything in the boardroom, or giving a good "Hell, yeah!" after a particularly interesting bit of info from your college professor.
Because of this, there's a social 'pass', so to speak, at a game. Others won't call you on behavior that would usually get you kicked out of your circle – say a good hard slap on the back because something great occurred, chest-butting a stranger, or ogling a series of girls in short skirts.
Stupid is as Stupid Does – Part 2
(Enjoy Part 1 from the archives!)
Today I learned something new: I learned that my state is dumb. Sorry, Tennessee, the rankings don't put us very high up . . . in fact we hit the bottom ten. At least we weren't dead last. That would be Louisiana and that probably wouldn't be a surprise.
The creators of this study, Martek, show the top ten states as having a high likelihood of being near the oceans and cite fish consumption as a possible reason for higher brain health. Excuse me? Then how did Louisiana come in dead last? There's a humongous quantity of fish being consumed there. Now, I believe almost all of that fish is fried, but California is getting a lot of its fish in Wahoo's fish tacos, and that's not going to rank too high on the old Omega-3 list either.
The low ten is heavily weighted into the south. Tennessee didn't make the bottom on their own. Aside from a Dakota, there's: a Carolina, Arkansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Alabama, Mississippi, Loo-si-ana and yours truly, Tennessee. Raise your hand if you are surprised.
The Journey of a Thousand Calories Begins with a Single Dip
At this point, none of us should be surprised that a Caesar salad has a thousand calories. We should also be well aware that the bulk of those calories is in the dressing. Even if you didn't see the movie "Supersize Me" you felt its ramifications and learned a little. We all know that the chicken fingers will stiffen your arteries until they resemble corroded lead pipes and we all know that as bad as that is, it's really the sauce that will kill you.
That having been said, we all know it's the sauce that makes the food. Even KFC is hawking grilled chicken these days and even they are recommending that you drown your heart-conscious fare with a side of high-fructose-based sauce – just choose your flavor.
I – for one – am in favor of sauce. Like every other human, I want dressing on my salad. And I know that there's not much we can do about it. Liking dressings and dips is/was an evolutionary advantage. (This is where I have to say that Darwin's Theory of Evolution wins my vote. I can't get behind a God that would build us to crave something so bad for us. I can't get behind the other option there either: That God built us in his image. Because this makes God a mildly obese man, chowing on burgers slathered with mayo.)
Football Equals Oppression
It's fall. And fall means football. For a lot of upset people it's a good time to start up the old 'that's not right' argument. But what is it that isn't right??
First the complaint: many teams (elementary schools all the way up to the NFL) have Native Americans as their mascots. Many feel that this is a huge insult to the Native American population – that it's racist or painting the Native Americans as animals (the standard for mascots).
This is a coin with so many sides that it really comes in as a dodecahedron.
We have to start with the term 'Native American'. It's all wrong. It's a group collective term for a group that isn't a group. Let's face it, had all the Native Americans (for lack of a better term) been a real group, the Americans never would have defeated them. Then take the fact that the people we are referring to aren't 'native' 'Americans' – I'm a native American. I was born and raised here and so were my parents. The Cherokee and Lakota are native whatever-it-was-before-it-was-America-ans.
Not easy bein' green – part 3
(If you missed parts 1 & 2, they are in the archives!)
Going green is one of those things that can be small or big. Small works for most of us. We can recycle more, unplug more, conserve just a little more – and anything that we can add to what we are already doing is a big boon for the environment. If each of us did a little, we'd see huge results. But personally, I like going big.
In the spirit of going big – and in the spirit of eating tomatoes that taste like some thing other than wet sand – I decided to grow my own garden.
Why not? I have everything I need. I have children to help with the manual labor. I have a climate with a natural, almost year-round rainfall. And I have a Home Depot nearby with a seasonal vegetables seed rack – complete with pretty pictures of the foodstuffs that will soon be sprouting in Technicolor in my own little patch of culinary heaven. Easy as pumpkin pie!

text: Politics 9 May 2013 In this week's New Statesman: Eton Mess Cameron's clique and the rebirth of the British ruling class. PLUS: Nigel Farage writes the diary. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Eton Eternal: Jason Cowley interviews the Eton headmaster From the Archbishop of Canterbury and the head of No 10's policy unit to top stage actors and the PM – Etonians have resurged into in public life. In our cover story this week, Jason Cowley meets Tony Little, the school's headmaster. Is Eton guilty of creating "a peculiar form of conformity" in the upper corridors of power? Jason Cowley asks Tony Little. The headmaster replies: " 'There or thereabouts'. I think this is one of those little moments in history that won't be repeated. I'm pleased that it's not just the Conservative Prime Minister, but the Archbishop of Canterbury and actors [Eddie Redmayne, Damian Lewis, Dominic West], who have a rather different take on the world. And that reflects the Eton I live in. The exciting thing about being in a place like this is having bright, young, aspirational people who see the world in very different ways. That is the optimistic view. Whether it holds up to scrutiny is rather more complicated." While debunking misconceptions about this centuries-old school for boys – such as the high percentage of "Russian plutocrats' " children in attendance and the notion that all Eton students "come from castles" – Little also addresses the British education system's role in "flatlining" social mobility and assesses the reforms by the Education Secretary, Michael Gove: "The good bit is rattling the cage and rattling it mightily. We now have these pinpricks of light, of some outstanding practice . . . the Teach First scheme . . . is the single best initiative that has happened in my professional lifetime. "[However,] I see no joined-up plan. Nationally, I'm talking about . . . Huge amount of reform, maybe too much. I think most of the people I work with can't see the big picture we are aiming for. People can see merit in the individual things that are going on, but we don't yet see the whole picture . . ." Plus, Danny Dorling, professor of human geography at the University of Sheffield, explains how social mobility got stuck. ELSEWHERE IN THE MAGAZINE: Nigel Farage: The Diary Storming South Shields, dodging photographers and a new Nigel on the Eurosceptic scene. The Ukip leader, Nigel Farage, recalls a less-than-ordinary week, from the local elections and television appearances to gutting fish and Brussels [On Thursday evening, I take] the train to London to film This Week with Andrew Neil, with a live studio audience and his dog, Mollie. The atmosphere among the programme's acolytes is fantastic, almost cultish. I have since been told their audience figures stretched well beyond a million so I hope it is a format they use again. A few drinks after the show, and it is time to head to my hotel and await the results from South Shields. By around 1.30am the count has finished and Ukip is looking at a staggering 24.2 per cent. Not enough to steal the seat but a breathtaking vote share, in the light of such a short campaign where 60 per cent of votes cast happened via postal ballot. It's a situation that needs to change, castrating the chance to campaign and communicate with the public and protecting the party in power. I am intending to sleep, but as the early results start coming in from Lincolnshire I know that something incredible is burgeoning. I finally turn my phone off at three. The week ends with an unexpected political lift: "Bank holiday over and it's back to Brussels. Tuesday continues the weekend theme of Nigels, as Mr Lawson speaks out against British membership of the EU. The world is slowly becoming a far less lonely place." Laurie Penny: Letter from Reykjavik After the financial crash of 2008, Iceland refused to bail out its banks and overthrew its government. Five years on, has its flirtation with an alternative to austerity ended? Laurie Penny visits on election day. Laurie Penny writes: Iceland is a little human crucible bubbling away in the middle of the north Atlantic, and an experiment in how to build and run a modern democracy. For most of the past 30 years, it embraced aggressive free-market capitalism. Then its banks failed, its population lost faith in conventional politics, and it began to be an experiment in something else entirely. Desperate people across the eurozone cling to the fairy tale of Iceland as a plucky country holding out against austerity – but Icelanders see things differently. Rafael Behr: The Politics Column Everyone's talking about Nigel, but it's Nick who has shaken up Westminster for good, says Rafael Behr in the Politics Column this week. He argues that there is a stark choice facing British politics, expressed in the form of a rivalry between two party leaders with distinct styles and incompatible creeds. Those leaders are, of course, Nigel Farage and Nick Clegg: Labour and the Tories have fought each other to a standstill. We already know the contours of every stone they throw. David Cameron is the haughty toff who cuts public services for pleasure. Ed Miliband is the gormless wonk without the strength to grip the axe. Their repetitive skirmishes win no defectors from the opposite tribe. Read the politics column online now. IN THE CRITICS: Jesse Norman on Edmund Burke In the Critics section of this week's New Statesman, John Gray reviews Edmund Burke: Philosopher, Politician, Prophet by Jesse Norman MP. Burke, John Gray argues, is "the thinker who more than any other exemplifies the contradictions of conservatism". The principal contradiction in Burke's conservatism is between his hostility to "political rationalism" – the notion that society can be remade in the image of abstract ideals – and his commitment to a species of providentialism, according to which the steady advance of liberty is evidence of a divine author at work. Margaret Thatcher, Gray goes on, saw the political settlement she achieved "as a chapter in a Burkean grand narrative of liberty. Unsurprisingly, this settlement has now collapsed." Brian Eno: The Critics Interview The NS pop critic, Kate Mossman, talks to the musician, producer and all-round creative force Brian Eno. "The art world bothers Eno," Mossman writes. Eno tells her: "The art world has got into the habit of believing that its prices reflect its importance." Eno himself has sometimes been on the receiving end of the kind of snobbery that reigns in the art world, mostly for his production work with mega-selling bands such as Coldplay and U2. "People don't think my production is cool," he says. "[But] I like working with both those bands because they are at the centre of something I'm usually at the edges of . . . Snobbery is an English disease." Plus: Sarah Churchwell is decidedly unimpressed by Z, Therese Anne Fowler's novel based on the life of Zelda Fitzgerald The former Conservative chancellor of the exchequer Norman Lamont reviews A Dangerous Delusion: Why the West Is Wrong About Nuclear Iran by Peter Oborne and David Morrison Sophie Elmhirst reviews John Crace's biography of Harry Redknapp, Harry's Games Nick Spencer, the research director at the think tank Theos, reviews The Serpent's Promise: the Bible Retold as Science by Steve Jones Daniel Swift reviews an edition of Kurt Vonnegut's letters edited by Dan Wakefield Ryan Gilbey reviews Our Children, the new film by the director Joachim Lafosse The architect Amanda Levete explains why "resistance is the fuel in the process of design" and why "cities are never perfect".

Adam Lallana has been called into the England squad following in the footsteps of fellow Southampton graduates Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gareth Bale in reaching great success after an education on the Solent.
Southampton Football Club is becoming accustomed to seeing their graduates make the grade at an international level. Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have done so while Gareth Bale is valued as one of the best wide men in football.
They have also become accustomed to a more unfortunate trait with these talents the envy and eventual pickings of clubs higher up the football ladder. But it seems they finally have a player who has stuck by them and has now made the grade internationally.
After a good start to his freshman Premier League campaign Adam Lallana has been rewarded with a place in the England set-up for the game with the Ukraine this week. Whilst there are obviously many injuries in the field at the moment that have helped habituate his presence you can't deny the boys talent.
At 24 years old he has just become captain of the club he has been at since he was a boy and showed off a matured versatility by dropping into the midfield positions rather than one of 3 attackers in the recently traditional Southampton formation.
Named in the PFA team of League One and the Championship in successive years he has now reached the ultimate pinnacle of a football career, the chance to represent your country.
It is a real testament to Southampton as well that the playmaker has not felt the need to move on in order to eventually make this step-up. Instead he has played regular football during a steady climb up the football ladder. Perhaps there is a feeling of gratitude to a club that helped him through a traumatic heart scare as an 18 year old that had to be fixed with an operation.
Since then he has not looked back and rewards Southampton for their loyalty and support with the success of this call-up.
Gary Neville mentioned during Southampton's game with Manchester united how England were keeping an eye on his progress, albeit prompted by Martin Tyler's admiration for the St Albans born stars game.
Southampton can now look on in pride again at one of their home-grown talents playing for England whilst still a Saint themselves, following in the footsteps of Wayne Bridge and the legendary Matt Le Tissier.
A similar future may lay ahead for his current midfield partner James Ward-Prowse, who we tipped for success here at HITC this season, and Luke Shaw the promising England youth international left back compared to Gareth Bale. If Saints could secure their Premier League survival hopefully these, and more players will represent their nations whilst plying their trade at St Marys.
What do you think of Lallana's inclusion?

This production traces the fascinating journey of the human species from its original amphibian state to its ultimate desire to fly.

The wife of a convicted sex offender who was labelled a "grub" by 2GB Radio presenter Ray Hadley has been awarded $280,000 in damages.
Handing down his decision in the Supreme Court in Sydney on Thursday, Acting Justice William Nicholas said he hoped the decision would enable Kim Ahmed to "lay this broadcast to rest in the gutter from which it came".
Taking aim at Hadley's "unbridled tirade" against Ms Ahmed, a former north Sydney fish-and-chip shop owner, Justice Nicholas said he was satisfied Hadley's comments caused her to suffer "anxiety, alarm, distress and anger".
Ms Ahmed sued Hadley and Harbour Radio, which operates 2GB, over broadcasts made in 2008 and 2009.
Ms Ahmed's husband, Emran Ahmed, was convicted in 2007 of the aggravated indecent assault of a 17-year-old girl in the cool room of their fish-and-chip shop.
He received a suspended 12-month sentence.
Ms Ahmed took out an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) against the father of the victim, claiming he had been loitering near the shop and she was scared and intimidated by him.
The day after Ahmed lost his appeal in the District Court in May 2008, Hadley interviewed the victim's father and ended the segment with an "unbridled tirade" against Ms Ahmed which was "spat into the microphone", Acting Justice Nicholas said.
Hadley described supporters of Ahmed as "vile" and Ms Ahmed as his "grub of a wife" before he said he was going to find out if they still owned the shop as they should be put out of business.
In a second broadcast in October 2009, Hadley took aim at Ms Ahmed's failure to have a defamation case against him heard in the Federal Court, calling her a "silly, silly woman".
"If we send you and your husband broke, I'll be absolutely delighted," he said.
Following a civil trial earlier this year, a jury found Hadley had defamed Ms Ahmed in several ways, including by making out she was a "low contemptible woman" who was unfit to run the shop and should be sent out of business.
Hadley has stood by his comments and refused to apologise.
Acting Justice Nicholas said Hadley's "poisoned arrows" had found their mark, leaving Ms Ahmed "sorely wounded" and causing her reputation harm.
The issue of costs will be settled at a later date.
Speaking outside court, Ms Ahmed said she was "very happy" to be vindicated.
"It's been a horrible, long five years and I hope it's now over," she said.
Ms Ahmed, who sold the shop in 2008 and now works as a community mental health worker, said she works with victims of physical and sexual abuse on a daily basis and stood by her good reputation.
"Everything that was thrown at me in court was all proved to be false," she said.
"Hopefully it sends a clear message to not only (Ray Hadley) but other presenters: you need to tell the truth."

Okay, I know there is the featherweight, a 3/4 size machine and a full-size machine...are there actual measurements that would help me determine whether something is a 3/4 or a full size? Or are "we" just eyeballing it?
Regarding Singers: the main difference between a Singer 15 and a Singer 99 is where the tension knob is located, right? Is the Singer 201 a 3/4 size? If not, what is the difference between a 99 and a 201? Oh these little details!
Last question: What is the difference between a 221 and a 221-1? Anyone?

Jennifer Spyker, Litigation Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Sam was my supervising attorney and mentor all throughout law school. I've seen him captivate juries, and persuade judges to rule in his favor where most courts are divided. He cuts to the core and quickly learns who his clients are so he can understand their struggles and tell their stories the way they should be told. Sam is a master of trials and appeals, and I'm glad I get to learn from him.
Thomas Pleasant, Birth injury Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Sam is a superb trial lawyer. He understands how to litigate complex matters like nursing home abuse and neglect cases. Strongly recommended.
Michael Waddington, Military law Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse Marcus. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.
John Eccher, Civil rights Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Sam McGee's reputation precedes him throughout the country. He is well known, by myself and countless other attorneys, as one of the finest trial lawyers out there. If you're looking for an attorney ready, willing, and able to fight for you and demand justice, justice that comes in the only form big businesses understand - big settlements and verdicts against them - then Sam is your lawyer. I happily refer any and all civil matters throughout all of North Carolina to him. I trust Sam. So should you.
Bobby Bollinger, Workers compensation Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Sam is a superb civil trial lawyer. He is very bright and down to earth. I would not hesitate to refer a client to him for a complex civil case.
Michael Brandner, Car accident Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Sam's knowledge of the law and his ability to present a client's story to a jury is unmatched. I would trust Sam with my relative's wrongful death case and be able to sleep at night knowing that he was advocating for every potential element of damage available.
Curtis Paschall, DUI and DWI Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Sam makes me want to live in North Carolina to learn manners, not an easy thing to say for a native Texan. He is the quintessential Southern Gentleman, who walks softly and carries a big stick. The big stick he carries is the depth of caring he has for his clients. I met Sam at the Trial Lawyers College where he learned to take his caring and skills to a level that only he can match. I would trust him with my life and in a certain sense i have. If you are in North Carolina and need a lawyer he is the only Counsel you will need.
Joseph Rome, DUI and DWI Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I met Sam Mcgee at the highly prestigious Trial Lawyer's College. Attorney Mcgee has earned a reputation for effectively representing his clients. He has the necessary reputation, knowledge and experience to maximize recovery. He is a very effective and skilled litigator who has the guts to stand up to the defense. If you or a loved one has been injured you need to speak with Mr. Mcgee.
Daniel Alvarez, Criminal defense Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Sam McGee is the true to life epitome of the gentleman lawyer. Sam not only has a brilliant legal mind but also has such an impressive intuitive know how when it comes to getting results for his clients. When you couple these skills with the fact that Sam genuinely cares about each individual client that he represents, I would submit that there is no better attorney to be found in North Carolina. I highly endorse Sam McGee as the go to attorney for any personal injury case.
Kyle Sherman, Personal injury Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have had the honor and pleasure to work with Mr. Mcgee in trial preparation and skill development. He is one of the most intelligent attorneys I have worked with and he has outstanding trial skills. Although I found Mr Mcgee to be a great lawyer, I was even more impressed with him as a human being. He has the integrity, work ethic and character that clients should look for when seeking their champion.
