SEATTLE — By Michael Hill's estimation, 90 percent of the people pumping gas at his station just south of the U.S.-Canada border in Washington state are Canadians.
Gas north of the 49th parallel, he said, is about $1.30 per gallon more expensive than in the United States. But that's not the only product that Canadians seek in visits to Washington state: Beer, wine and milk are significantly cheaper (beer and wine alone are roughly half the price in the U.S.).
Add a strong Canadian dollar and the result is a key element of the economy in the towns of Whatcom County. For example, the town of Blaine, population just shy of 5,000, generates over $225,000 from a penny per gallon gas tax, which is about 30 percent of its street maintenance budget.
That's why Hill and others are troubled by the notion of charging a fee to enter the U.S. by land. Last month, in its 2014 fiscal year budget proposal, the Department of Homeland Security requested permission to study a fee at the nation's land border crossings.
"It's a deterrent," said Hill, whose station is fully stocked with wine and has a reader board that says "Thank you Canadians."
"They should be doing anything they can to get them down here to buy more," he added.Comment on this story
That lone request sparked wide opposition among members of Congress from northern states, who vowed to stop it. A fee, they say, would hurt communities on the border that rely on people, goods and money moving between the U.S. and Canada.
"The imposition of such a toll would act as a barrier to the greater economic integration that we seek, and is the absolute last thing we should be doing to grow our economy," stated a letter sent to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano earlier this month signed by 18 Republican and Democratic House lawmakers.
Currently it costs nothing to enter the country by land. Air and sea crossings already have a fee of under $2, which are included in ticket prices.

Win gets away from Dickey, Mets after 'pen falters
Win gets away from Dickey, Mets after 'pen falters
The situation wasn't ideal, but the Mets had used four relievers to get the previous seven outs and were left with no other real options.
Parnell started by striking out pinch-hitter Juan Francisco, but then allowed three consecutive RBI singles, and the Braves beat the Mets, 8-7, at Turner Field.
Jason Heyward delivered the go-ahead run with a single up the middle that scored Michael Bourn from third base. Parnell said that he threw a fastball down and away to Heyward, who was able to find a hole in the Mets' defense.
"It's a tough lineup, a tough part of the lineup, too," Parnell said. "It didn't go our way."
Parnell's struggles left the Mets with a crushing loss and undid their earlier comeback after a crucial fifth-inning call went the Braves' way.
The fifth-inning drama began with the score tied at 3, one out and Martin Prado on first. Heyward lofted a short fly ball to left field, and Jordany Valdespin attempted to make a sliding catch. The ball dropped ever so slightly in front of his glove, and Valdespin trapped it. Third-base umpire Dale Scott, however, ruled the play a catch. Valdespin quickly got the ball back to the infield, where it was relayed to first base to double off Prado. The Mets began to jog off the field, believing the inning was over.
But the umpires convened and overruled the initial call, awarding Prado second base and crediting Heyward with a single. Manager Terry Collins argued and was ejected.
Scott said that Valdespin's body blocked his view of the ball.
"I never had any evidence that he didn't catch the ball, but I never had a good look at it," Scott said. "I called it a catch."
Mets starter R.A. Dickey said that it looked like a catch to him but admitted he didn't get a good look at the play.
"They may have gotten it right, and if they did, great," Dickey said. "But in the moment it certainly looked like an out, which is a big play."
The Braves took advantage of the call's reversal, as Freddie Freeman drove a two-run double to give the Braves a two-run lead.
The Mets' offense was unfazed by the sudden turn of events in the bottom of the fifth. After Kirk Nieuwenhuis led off the sixth with a groundout, the Mets strung together five consecutive singles. The first three came off Braves starter Tommy Hanson, who was chased after Justin Turner's pinch-hit RBI single plated the first run of the rally.
Collins was happy to see his team rally.
"They had some very, very good at-bats," Collins said. "We fought back."
Hanson allowed six runs on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings. In the first two games of this three-game series, the Mets faced Hanson and Tim Hudson, the Braves' top two starters. Though neither threw six innings, the Mets have nothing to show for it, partially because neither of their own starters went more than five innings.
Dickey didn't fare much better than Hanson, allowing five runs on eight hits in five innings. It was his shortest outing since April 18, when he went 4 1/3 innings in a loss -- also to the Braves -- and marked the third time in four starts he has given up five runs.
Dickey believes his luck will turn and that this is nothing more than a tough stretch.
"Every season has a storm or two in it," Dickey said. "You just kind of have to stay afloat. It'll turn."
The same could be said for the Mets as the second half begins, as they have lost three games in a row and are 3-6 in July.
"We kind of limped into the [All-Star] break, and we're kind of limping out of it," Dickey said.
Ike Davis, who went 2-for-4 with a home run, said the Mets just need to put together a few wins to be right back on track.
"It comes in waves," Davis said. "Sometimes you get the big hits, and sometimes you don't."

As an Ambassador for Avon, Reese Witherspoon wants to make sure her kids, Deacon and Ava, understand the importance of Domestic Violence awareness. She explains:
"We talk about domestic violence and what that means. Although the concept is somewhat foreign to them, they're starting to understand that this happens to families in our country and all throughout the world."
Reese shared that her kids understand it in part because of the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation:
"My daughter knows what happened. My son knows as well. We talk about what is abuse. I think it's important to talk to our daughters – and our sons – in order to educate them at an early age about what's appropriate and what is absolutely not acceptable."

This was by far the best car buying experience in my life! One of the best experiences in general that I have ever had. My husband and I walked up to the car we wanted to purchase to see that it had a "SOLD" sign with our name in the window. Not only that, the car was clean and ready to take home! Upon walking in to the dealership we were greeted with friendly smiles, handshakes and introductions, offered coffee and immediately felt welcomed. Benjamin T. was a pleasure to work with! He promptly called me the next morning after a late night application on the website and went right to work on my loan - which was anything but easy! He called often and kept me in the know of what was happening with financing, what I could expect and made sure I was happy with all of the terms before I even set foot into the dealership. The whole team worked well together and treated us wonderfully. There was no long waiting, the finance department went over everything with my to make sure I understood every detail. We were at the dealership about less than two hours, including the test drive! We would definitely recommend this dealership and working with Benjamin T.! Thank you, Mercedes Benz and Benjamin! All the best, Jillian and Frank J.

The day started with a possible answer to one of the digital era's greatest mysteries: Who created the bitcoin virtual currency that has become a multibillion-dollar global phenomenon?
From there, with the unlikely revelation by Newsweek magazine that it might be Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, a 64-year-old Japanese American living in Temple City, the day only got wilder and weirder.
It featured a media frenzy on his front lawn and a semi-comical car chase through multiple cities as Nakamoto rode in a Prius driven by an Associated Press reporter trying to elude other reporters. And then, a denial from Nakamoto — as he climbed into an elevator at the downtown AP offices — that he was the creator of bitcoin.
"I never was involved," he said to a Times reporter, saying there was only one reason he had agreed to even talk to a reporter. "It was all for a free lunch."

Entry #5
If someone (or anyone) is reading this then by the title you can tell that I am closing my music commissions, but only for a bit so I can work on some personal stuff. This includes music and art but it mostly deals with my online high school classes, I want to finish it so I don't have to deal with its bullshit anymore and so I can finally graduate and basically start my life.
So with that said, my music commissions (my only commissions) are closed and Im probably gonna be inactive (mostly in audio portal) for a while until I get through this. Thank you for reading and goodbye

Hollywood has come to regard the likes of LaBeouf as disposable freelancers: cheap relative to more established stars, there to fill space between the explosions the summer audience really wants to see. In December, LaBeouf used work, without giving credit, by the illustrator Daniel Clowes in his short film, "HowardCantour.com." LaBeouf is currently sitting in a Los Angeles art gallery wearing a paper bag over his head that says "I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE," and while you could quibble with that statement based on all the press he's been getting, there's one sense in which it's true: LaBeouf has now become infamous.
Titled #IAMSORRY, the installation features the actor sitting alone in a room with a bag over his head, while audience participants pass through one by one to witness LaBeouf's contrition. Many are saying that this is another example of LaBeouf's plagiarism, citing a piece by Marina Abramovic where she sat silently while audience members were welcome to do whatever they want with a group of objects, including knives and a loaded gun. When asked her personal opinion of the piece, Abramovic said that the actor was being "manipulative."
Upon entering the exhibit people are told to choose an object from a selection that includes a whip, Transformers toys, Hershey's Kisses, a pair of pliers and a bowl of notes containing Twitter comments about LaBeouf. There are things like a "Transformers" toy, a whip (he starred in 2008's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"), Hershey's kisses, a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey, a bottle of cologne, pliers, a ukelele and a copy of Daniel Clowes' book, "The Death-Ray." There was no photography allowed, but the implements include a leather whip, a pair of pliers, a vase of daisies, an Optimus Prime Transformer toy, a bowl of Hershey's kisses, a bowl of folded slips of paper containing tweets about LaBeouf, a large bottle of Jack Daniels, a small bottle of Brut cologne, a pink ukulele, and the graphic novel The Death-Ray by Daniel Clowes.
Once an item is selected attendees are ushered into a second room, in which LaBeouf sits, silently, at a table, with a paper bag on his head. I sat down. I brought in a stem of daisies and laid it on the table. I ask him if I can take a picture. No response. Right before I got up to leave, I pulled one of the mean tweets out of the bowl and read it aloud to him.
As I stand in the alley afterwards, I pull out an audio recorder and mumble some notes, and I'm sort of surprised to find my voice so tremulous. The whole thing may be deeply ingenuine, but it was genuinely disturbing: sitting across from LaBeouf, whose head-bag is ragged and tear-stained, I found it impossible not to have empathy, to feel ashamed of myself for participating in a public emotional flogging (nevermind that it was orchestrated by the punished, nevermind that it may be even less sincere than Dumb Starbucks). I'll be honest: in the moment after I took that picture, I actually felt something real. But was he sorry, or was I?
Kenneth Goldsmith is a writer and curator based in New York and an artist and writer based in Los Angeles.
Dear Kenneth,
Your report gives few details about this performance so I had to resort to USA Today:
The exhibit is a collaborative project between LaBeouf, Finnish performance artist Nastja Säde Rönkkö and British artist Luke Turner, according to a press release sent to Time.
It took place at The Cohen Gallery, which USA informs us is "is across the street from BuzzFeed's L.A. offices," adding parenthetically, "Probably just a coincidence, right?"
Like you, the Daily Beast's Andrew Romano was oddly moved by the whole spectacle. "I actually felt something real. Something strange and complex. Something like sympathy. …"
This is probably more of a USA Today-type story, and USA Today-type performance art, but it's always interesting to see what you're interested in.
Personally I'd like more sociology on how porous the gallery world and the film biz are in LA. I got messages yesterday that Parker Ito had sold a painting at auction for $93,000 USD, which is pretty good for a n00b, and one of the reasons for the high price tag is that film director Harmony Korine is a collector of his art. Maybe as a cross-NY-LA correspondent and assiduous documenter of the avant garde through ubuweb, WFMU, etc, you can help us understand the interrelationship of art and pure promo hype in the tinseltown art scene.
Best, Tom
Ha ha, this will teach me not to skim and troll (or at least, mouse-over).
Hi Tom, it seems we erred too far on the side of subtlety with this one, sorry about that :P
Coincidentally, I'm going to be in LA this week for a show I curated at a commercial gallery, and we do also have some research ongoing that might open up this discussion in a more interesting way for you.
Pure promo hype just makes everyone feel bad in the end…But, I like a lot of Harmony Korine's work, and I'm glad to hear he's collecting art.
Thanks as always for your thoughtful comments.
It's too late to lobby you about that LA show but here's what I wrote in 2003 comparing Jeremy Blake to a then-lesser-known artist named Cory Arcangel: http://www.digitalmediatree.com/tommoody/?21430
I see your LA show is centered on an earlier Blake work, Liquid Villa, which was more intriguing than the "abstract grid" phase I was referring to (or any of Blake's later work), but the Occam's Razor issues about Blake's computer art – what's the simplest, most un-aestheticized expression a computer is capable of producing? – was never vetted, because the Mr. Market had already decided Blake was important.
Uggh – typo – Mr. Market does not need a definite article.
Semi-correction: I was confusing Liquid Villa with an even earlier Blake work, Bungalow 8. The latter work packed a wallop during its run at Feigen Contemporary, Liquid Villa was basically a repeat performance and not as good (but still, maybe, better than those grid pieces that came later).
Hi Tom - w/r/t your question about LA collectors, this is worth a look:
But did he ever star in "Afghanistan The Movie"?
http://slanderous.org/default_a.htm. It was predicted years ago by Joe Edit.
Michael, thanks for the link to the Simchowitz interview. He is quite the self-regarding loudmouth, or "amplification nodule," to use his term. Interesting that he gives no credit to Rhizome or the pre-Facebook blogosphere for first introducing his stable of "Post-Internet" superstars – it's as if they had no careers or critical recognition before he started pushing them. His presence on the scene should make Rhizome uneasy about continuing to carry critical water for the brand (it certainly does me). Perhaps enough has been done for that particular group of artists – they have him now.

Chef Michael White, who has received vast amounts of praise for his work in two New York kitchens -- Convivio and Alto - visited The Early Show to prepare a traditional southern Italian Easter dinner.
It's funny to note that although he truly has mastered Italian cuisine, White is originally from Wisconsin. He spent seven years studying and cooking in Italy, and returned to the U.S. in 2001.
Lamb is a traditional part of any Easter dinner. White prepared a roast leg of lamb. He chose this cut because:
-- It's very economical ... around $5 a pound.
-- It's the meatiest part of the animal.
-- It's cooked on the bone which means the meat is juicy and flavorful.
-- It's really difficult to mess it up!
When shopping for lamb, look for the pinkest possible meat. This indicates that it's very fresh.
Rosemary is a classic flavor accompaniment to lamb, and White combined the herb with anchovies, garlic, thyme, and orange zest to make a paste which he spreads all over the lamb before rolling it up and placing it in a roasting pan along with carrots, onions and celery. The meat cooks for about two hours to reach medium rare.
Of course you want to let the lamb rest; while it's doing this you can make a pan sauce by deglazing the roasting pan with white wine.
Pallotte Cace e Ova in Brodo
Serves 4
8 ounces grated pecorino or parmigiano cheese
6 ounces fine white bread crumbs
1 tablespoon parsley
6 eggs
Salt and pepper
½ onion, diced
1 carrots, diced
1 rib celery, diced
1 cup chicory or dandelion greens
2 quarts chicken stock
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over in a stock pot. When hot, add the onions, carrots and celery sauté for 3-5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and the greens. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. While soup is simmering, combine cheese, bread crumbs parsley and eggs in a large bowl and mix until mixture forms a ball. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Oil your hands lightly and roll ½ inch balls with your cace e ova dough; place on a plate. Drop the balls into the simmering soup and cook until they float to the top and are tender, 8-10 minutes depending on your preferred size. To serve, ladle the soup and dumplings into a bowl and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil on top.
Roast Leg of Lamb
Serves 4-6
6 oil packed anchovy fillets, drained and blotted with paper towels
3 large whole garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons fresh thyme
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small bone-in leg of lamb (about 5 pounds without the bone)
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 large rib celery, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
2 cups dry white wine
Preheat the oven to 375. In a food processor, combine the anchovies, garlic, thyme, rosemary, orange zest and olive oil and process into a smooth paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Using a small paring knife, make 1 1/2 inch deep slits all over the lamb. Spread the herb paste all over the lamb, working it into the slits; season the lamb with salt and pepper. Using seven or eight long pieces of kitchen string, tie the roast at 1 inch intervals. Scatter the onion, carrot and celery in the bottom of a roasting pan just large enough to hold the lamb and lay the meat on top. Roast for 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours until an instant-read thermometer, inserted in the center of the thickest part of the meat, registered 140 degrees to 145 degrees. For medium-rare, cook to 135. Transfer the lamb to a cutting board, tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, set the roasting pan over high heat. Pour in the wine and bring the liquid to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain it into a small sauce pan, pressing on the vegetables to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the vegetables. Skim the fat from the surface and boil until the sauce is reduced to 1 cup, about 20 minuets, then pour it into a gravy boat.
Remove the kitchen string from the lamb and cut the meat across the grain into thin slices. Serve at once with the sauce.
Sautéed Broccoli Rabe with Garlic
Serves 6
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 pounds broccoli rave, thick stems removed and discarded, cut into 3 inch pieces
freshly ground black pepper
½ cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
In a large deep skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and hot but not smoking. Add the onion, garlic, and pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the onion softens, 5-6 minutes. Add the broccoli rabe and ¼ cup water, season to taste with salt and pepper and toss gently. Cover and cook until the broccoli rabe is softened, about 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water has evaporated and the broccoli rabe is completely tender, 2 minutes longer. Stir 1/3 cup of the pecorino into the broccoli rabe. Sprinkle with remaining pecorino and serve.
Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
Serves 4
2 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into small chunks
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
2 cloves garlic
Coarse sea salt
Preheat the oven to 375. Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; spread them evenly on the sheet pan, and bake, turning occasionally with a spatula, until golden brown on the outside and creamy inside, about 20 minutes. While the potatoes are roasting, finely chop the rosemary and garlic together. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on top of the stove. Drizzle the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes, sprinkle with sea salt and 2 tablespoons of the rosemary-garlic mixture, and turn to mix well and heat the seasonings through.
Serve at once as a side dish.
Pastiera Napolitana (traditional Italian grain pie)
Yields: 1 12 inch pie
1 ounce butter
1 ounce confectioners sugar
5 ounces unsalted butter
½ cup confectioners sugar
1 cup + 4 tablespoons flour
Pinch of salt
3 egg yolks
1 cup grano cotto (soaked whole wheat grain, available in Italian specialty stores)
1 ½ quarts milk
1 lemon rind, no pith
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups ricotta cheese
3 eggs, separated
2 ounces candied orange peel
2 ounces candied lemon people
1 tablespoon Fiori di Sicilia or orange flower water (available in specialty Italian markets)
1. Prepare the pie -- Butter a 12 inch pie pan and sprinkle with sugar; discard extra. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees.
2. Make the dough -- Combine 5 ounces butter, ½ cup confectioners sugar and flour in a food processor with a pinch of salt and pulse to combine. Slowly add in the yolks until the dough comes together. Remove from bowl; wrap the ball in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Make the Filling -- Bring the grano cotto, milk, lemon rind, cinnamon, vanilla, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until milk is absorbed into the grain. When absorbed, remove from heat; discard the lemon rind. In a standing mixer, cream together 1 cup sugar and ricotta on low speed. Slowly add 3 yolks, mixing until incorporated. Add in the grain mixture, candied fruit and fiori di Sicilia. In another bowl, whip the egg whites to soft peak; gently fold mixtures together and reserve.
4. Assemble the Pie -- Roll out ¾ of the baking dough thinly and drape into a prepared 12 inch pie pan. Place the filling into the pie. Roll out the remaining dough; cut into strips and lattice across the top. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour, or until filling has set and the crust is golden brown.

To me, it looks like a text/chat program so it doesn't show up as a text message, but data instead.

Don't make anyone a priority when you are only an option.
My phone is on "manual"--it doesn't go get the email until I tell it to.
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
Some data usage is just the phone being a smart phone.

The thing that devoured the data usage was a 2 hour Skype call he made while my son and I were away at a religious conference.

MyWritingJob.com MyWritingJob.com FALSE ADVERTISEMENT Does NOT Privide Services They Claim Tucson Arizona
This company claims to provide freelance writers with a database of "Fresh" exclusive jobs, and they further claim that you can make back the $34 charge for access to the website within the first half hour of joining.
What a joke. NONE of the jobs listed are exclusive to the site, most are available for free elsewhere on the web, and in nearly eight weeks, I have yet to find a single listing where you can start on the job and get paid the same day, much less "in thirty minutes or less."
They have a second database, specifically for Social Media jobs, which is what I was primarily interested in, but their site would not process my request correctly. I sent them an email immediately requesting that they process my membership to the second site as well.
After three weeks, and still no response, I send them another email requesting a response, and membership to the second site. Nothing. About a week later I got sick of it and requested a refund - their site says that they will give a refund within the first 60 days for any reason. Still nothing. Two more emails. Nothing. A final email with a promise to turn it over to my attorney and their State Attorney General. Still nothing.
These guys are a complete scam, care NOTHING for the writers they claim to be helping, and the phone number listed as their contact number (in the bank transaction) is a cell phone.

SANTA FE, N.M. — President Zuma asks nation to keep Madiba in 'their prayers'
JOHANNESBURG – While Nelson Mandela's health "shows sustained improvement," he is still in critical condition, South African President Jacob Zuma said Monday.
Zuma issued the statement after visiting Mandela at a Pretoria hospital, where he was admitted June 8 with a recurring lung infection. No further details were provided about Mandela's health.
The news that South Africa's first black president, who is revered for his struggle to end white minority rule, remains in critical condition dampened hopes that he could be sent home soon.
Last week, Mandela's daughter, Zindzi, said he could be released from the hospital at any moment. Other reports said he was able to respond with his eyes and smile at well-wishers who visited him last Thursday on his 95th birthday.
South Africa erupted with love and joy when Mandela celebrated the day in the hospital after weeks when he appeared to be nearing death.
"The president once again assured Madiba of the love and support of all South Africans," Zuma said in Monday's statement, using Mandela's clan name. "The birthday celebrations for the former president on the 18th of July were the biggest ever this year, attracting scores of South Africans who engaged in community service in honor of Madiba."
Zuma reiterated his call to the nation to "continue to keep Madiba in their thoughts and prayers."

Bioidentical hormones may be the answer if you're feeling depressed
Can hormones cause depression? The answer in short is yes. Hormones have an enormous impact on mood, sleep and many other factors that are essential for quality of life. While depression certainly can have a number of emotional and psychological causes, the role of hormones cannot be overlooked.

Re: 'Live-Born' Abortions: No Easy Choices, Feb. 7.
The late-term abortion issue has touched my life. An ultrasound showed our second baby had spina bifida occulta. His legs didn't work and his spine looked like an L instead of curling. The technicians at the ultrasound clinic wouldn't even give me a photo to take home. I was past 21 weeks along when abortion was recommended to us by my doctor and other doctors he consulted.
We were given three days to decide. It was their recommendation to have an abortion as it would be a hard life for us and an unfair life for our baby. We thought about it hard, crying for days — before deciding to keep our baby. Our thought process was that we wanted another baby, we tried for this baby and this baby was meant to be here. I didn't think of the inconvenience this would bring; this was my duty as a mother.
Long story short, our baby was born healthy. They handed him to us in the delivery room and the pediatrician shrugged his shoulders. There was nothing visibly wrong with our boy. Now seven, there have been a few times where he couldn't walk or put weight on his legs, 15 minutes being the longest. We don't know what the future holds as problems may arise, but we have been blessed with a wonderful son.
He plays AA hockey, swims and is an A student. In fact, he swears he's going to play in the NHL one day. We have been blessed with our miracle. He has had other health issues, being born legally blind, with a heart murmur and extra large tonsils and adenoids. He can now see with glasses and he has had surgery for the tonsils and adenoids.
I wonder how many miracles were destroyed because of these abortions. I don't believe it's only used for babies without brains, organs or bone diseases, as our case shows. It's a way to control natural selection.
In the end, I'm torn about how I feel as I understand that many others aren't given miracle babies. My brain says "choice" — my heart says "no choice."
Jeanette Moore, Orangeville, Ont.
In the months following our second daughter's birth, we began to notice some physical behaviours that appeared unusual, but medical professionals dismissed our concerns. At five months she began to seizure and was admitted for testing that lasted three weeks. The diagnosis was metachromatic leukodystrophy, an untreatable genetic disorder that would result in early death.
Because Jennifer failed to show any further deterioration after the initial diagnosis, more tests were done with several subsequent diagnoses over a period of four years. All predicted early death.
In the end, none of the diagnoses that we received were accurate. We never knew what caused Jennifer's severe disabilities. A neurologist told me that tests presented visual information that outstripped a physician's ability to interpret what he was seeing. Jennifer underwent so much testing; much of it painful and frightening for her. It told us little that we didn't already know.
Despite the odds, we decided to go ahead and have another child. I had two miscarriages and then a healthy girl and a boy, born five and seven years after Jennifer. Jennifer died at 19 as a result of respiratory problems. The suffering at times was unbearable for her and for us, but our collective lives were enriched beyond words by the 19 years that we shared with her. I wonder how our lives might have been changed by a physician's prediction before a child's birth.
Linda Spruston, Burnaby, B.C.
In common parlance, an abortion is a procedure done with the intent of causing the death of preborn human offspring. This article uses the term rather loosely. Seemingly minor distinctions can have consequences for moral judgements and for the state of mind of those involved.
When doctors tell a family that their baby if born will live only a short time because of a fatal condition, and if the parents choose to deliver the baby by Caesarean section when the fetus is viable, the cause of death is not abortion, it is the underlying condition. As the article points out, the fleeting life of the child born thus or otherwise can be beautiful and memorable for the family.
Since misdiagnosises happens, not aborting could, for some, have an even happier ending. With calm clarity, maybe there is a best choice.
Our little sister lived only one day. Mother has a photograph of her on her dresser, and my sister and I have visited her grave near that of our grandparents.
Nancy Schmeing, Deep River, Ont.
While I don't think anyone is comfortable with the thought of newborn babies being left to die in clinics or hospitals, this article minimizes the effect of this devastating revelation by referencing one tragic experience with a late-term abortion. After describing Carol's late-term abortion, this story notes: "clinicians and veterans of the procedure maintain that in Canada, the only fetuses terminated in late-stage abortions are those whose fates are already sealed" (emphasis mine).
Granted, this is a heart-wrenching case. But there is a major problem to using one case out of 491 to justify inaction. What about the other 490? Are we so certain that the other deaths do not warrant investigation? As has already been reported in the pages of the National Post, there are documented cases of late-term abortions due to abnormalities that are readily corrected through minor surgery.
Discussions concerning human rights should never be rooted in how "perfect" someone is. Rather they should be based on the fact that everyone has intrinsic value and the right to live ought to be paramount. Every human being has purpose, and while we may not know what that purpose is at a certain point in time, all should have the opportunity to experience the magic we know as "life."
Mike Schouten, Campaign Director, WeNeedaLAW.ca, Surry, B.C.
Don't blame MDs
Re: 'Live-Born' Abortions: No Easy Choices, Feb. 7.
Finally! A level-headed article on abortion that doesn't make Canadian doctors out to be murderers. Thank you for putting this on the front page. Doctors study for years, work punishing hours, take the Hippocratic Oath. They are not butchers, nor are they inhumane. They protect life where there is an expectation of quality of life and they relieve suffering where they see a greater potential for that. We should support their struggle in these extraordinarily difficult cases instead of looking for trouble and sensationalizing statistics.

New poster child for Senate reform
Re: Senator Jailed, Booted By Tories, Feb. 8.
Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau — the new poster children for Senate reform. I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories, but you'd almost think that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is stacking the deck to help push his agenda for Senate reform.
David Montgomery, Cambridge, Ont.
Given the recent troubles of Senator Brazeau (and Senators Harb and Duffy) is it not time to consider abolishing the Senate? Our Prime Minister deserves credit for his efforts to democratize the upper chamber. Ultimately though, one must ask why we need a second parliamentary body that performs functions that could easily be fulfilled by our existing MPs.
Canada's system serves us well compared to the deadlock more often seen in the United States. I would not want to see a scenario where the House of Commons, with a majority government, has passed legislation only to see it overturned by an opposition majority in the Senate. The time has come to abolish the Senate altogether.
Ryan Patrick, Oshawa, Ont.
Your boss doesn't owe you anything
Re: A Fair Boss Is Nice, Not A Right, Matt Gurney, Feb. 1.
I couldn't agree more with Matt Gurney's view that family matters are our responsibility and that employers should not be held accountable for decisions that we can't accept. In fact, I would venture to say that they shouldn't be involved at all, except to be kept informed.
When my husband became ill, I continued working around hospital stays and medical emergencies and appointments. As his condition worsened over the course of eight years and I knew that he had about a year to live, I chose to leave a job I held for 20 years. Although I loved that job, it was more important for me to spend time with my husband.
I never regretted that decision. I took my resignation straight to human resources, bypassing my immediate bosses whom I knew would try to talk me out of leaving.
Unlike the sudden onslaught of illness, pregnancy involves choice and if you choose to have a family, you have at least seven months to plan for the future and the inevitable changes to your schedule. Your first obligation is to your family; your employer's first obligation is to his customers. Involving the government in these decisions smacks of supreme entitlement.
Tina Ivany, Whitby, Ont.

Sound — 8
Being the fretless version, the LB75F has a fairly distinctive sound which may not suit some styles (like metal). But it has a really sweet, singing resonance which is great for rock, blues, jazz, or folk (and everything in between). The pick-up blend knob offers and awesome array of different sounds. Noise is my only real complaint with this bass. The included single-coils have a definite hum (I've replaced them with humbuckers since purchasing the instrument). The active electronics make this worse; in particular the treble knob adds some noise.
Overall Impression — 9
I play mostly rock (but also some jazz) and would say this is a pretty good match for my style. If anything it's better for jazz, in particular because it's fretless and has that acoustic-like tone. If it was lost or stolen, I would certainly buy it again, but with humbuckers and probably with frets (or better yet, one of each!).
Reliability & Durability — 8
I've had it for 12 years and have only needed a new output jack, so I'd say it stands up to abuse pretty well. The hardware seems very solid. I'm not crazy about the bridge saddles as they have some play side to side, but they are highly adjustable which is a big plus. I got the optional straplocks and have had no problems with them. The finish is fantstic and after 12 years looks almost like new.
Action, Fit & Finish — 9
Came awesomely setup from the factory. I had no complaints at all. This is a BEAUTIFUL instrument. The finish (including matching headstock) is perfect. The tung-oiled neck is both beautiful and smooth feeling. The only real flaw is that ferrule for the low-B is a bit small and you really have to work to get a new string through the body.
Features — 10
I own a 1998 Carvin LB75F, the fretless version of Carvin's 5-string bass. It has a 24-fret(less) ebony fingerboard, an alder body, and 5 piece maple/walnut neck. Mine has a translucent "greenburst" topic beautiful enough to bring tears to my eyes. It features Active/Passive (you can Switch between these modes) electronics with controls for Volume, Pick-up Blend, Bass, Mid, and Treble. The number of options available when ordering from Carvin is too huge for me to list out all of the details here. Suffice it to say that since you custom order it, it will be exactly what you're looking for. All Carvin guitars ship with a hard case.

While books on the subject of forgiveness abound, until now there have been none focusing on one of the most important aspects of the forgiveness process: apology. In this inspiring and instructive new book from internationally acclaimed therapist and self-help author Beverly Engel, listeners learn why apology is so important to our emotional and physical well-being and why our inability to apologize is the source of a great deal of the dysfunction and unhappiness in our lives.

youre stupid if you think bogut will drop past 2...
youre stupid if you think bogut will drop past 2...
Btw, what you think of this?
Draft Frye at 8
Draft Hodge at 30
Still Trade Resigned Curry
Kurt, Sweetney, 54th
Resign Jackie Butler to LLE
Curry, Butler
Frye, Rose, Taylor
Timmy, Ariza, JYD
Crawford, Hodge, Houston
IR: Penny
This follows through with how Curry needs a defensive-oriented PF to compliment him. We'd have our own version of the Twin Towers, and both Frye and Butler can play the 4 AND 5. And Julius Hodge is gonna be a steal in the 1st Round. He can play PG, SG, and even some SF, and is gonna be a solid shooter eventually. And cmon, he's straight outta NYC.
Don't forget - Curry and Crawford are best friends, so the transition should be smooth. And most important of all, we don't add $$ to the salary....in fact, by letting Timmy and Penny slide off the cap (or resign Timmy to MLE next year), we cut off alotta the extra fat WHILE getting better...
Hello everyone, just joined this website and I would like to say that knicks need to draft a decent center and the best one availible for#8 is Channing Frye , then knicks will just need to draft a guard at#30 and a PF/SF at#54
granger does seem like a player with potentiol, but we cant forget about Ariza, granger would be a good pick, but im not sure if we oculd get him out there, atleast this year, while we're still developing the skills of last years rookie
its funny how much time all us fans spend making up trades that will improve the team, and most likely none of our proposals will ever happen.
instead, isiah disappoints time and time again...getting scrubs like malik rose and mo taylor in his last dealings.
is it me or did i remember seeing frye being listed at 6-10 at one point, then 6-11, and now 7-0. i know guys can still grow, but i have a suspicion that maybe guys "fudge" an inch or two at draft time.
i think hes not mobile/athletic enoguh to hang with the kenyon martins and tim duncans of the league and play the power forward position. and if hes only 6-11, being as skinny as he is, and noting that really every inch DOES count, im not sure about how good a center he could be. i cant think of many great under-7 foot centers except alonzo mourning (who was a lot more athletic and hulk-like than frye is).
i havent seen him play much, but im just skeptical, teams always seem to waste high draft picks on big guys just because they say "welll hes big, we need a big guy, and hes got some skills", and they pass up on a real talent.
i want isiah to pick the most talented guy who can really be a star in the league with the draft. yeah, we need a center, but its not like frye will all of a sudden make the knicks into a great team. we will still suck, with or without frye.
brazililans are lazy. i remember anderson varajeo was at one point a high lottery pick and slowly slipped. he doesnt seem to work hard and i dunno how good he will be.
ive never seen splitter play, but i dunno...maybe all hes got is a big body with some skills...it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to succeed in the nba...seems like those brazilians just like time in the sun and the beach.
nene, who i believe is from brazil, seems more hard working, but he hasnt raelly done too much for a 7th pick, wasnt he the baby ben wallace?
This is a good lineup i dont care what anyone says .
C-Frye 6'11
PF-Sweetney 6'8
SF-Ariza 6'8 / Q 6'6
SG-Richardson 6'6 / Crawford 6'5
PG-Marbury 6'2 / Crawford 6'5
And remember this lineup is not including the other picks at 30 and 54 and the trades that may occur
frye is kinda not built tho rite....sweetney needs to get in shape to become a starter. wed definitely hang onto JYD or rose for some defense and sweets is the offense. im liking it....
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
can we get a poll on the draft......i'd like the knicks to pick webster though it seems Isiah will go for that bust Frye
desde la cuna del chango
#1 K's should go for Danny Granger.
He's a terrific SF in the Scottie Pippen mold.
He's very intense, he comes into the league with a chip on his shoulder after playing in relative obscurity in New Mexico.
He can pass, shoot, drive.. they're saying his game basically has no weaknesses.
But mostly it's that intensity that I like, that chip on his shoulder that keeps a player hungry that we need. Thoughts?
what bout johan petro? first everybody was sooooooooooooooooo high on this guy now we barely mention him
Petro? Haven't we already made the mistake of drafting a big french before? He, like Frye, will be just another benchwarmer at the best, not allstar material... Granger, Webster and Wright will be allstars...Fran Vazquez is the better NBA-ready big man after Bogut...If the pick HAS to be for a big man I'd rather grab Bynum and develop him a couple of years in the NBDL and just try to get Z, Curry or Kwame for the next couple of seasons...Peter Vecsey did report this week that Isiah is fixated on Pau Gasol so that gives me hope he's not going to make the mistake of using that eigth pick on whatever big man is available versus grabbing a future allstar

Pancreatitis and the Effects of Medical Maijuana

Pancreatitis and the Effects of Medical Maijuana
by: Mitch Williams
Behind the stomach is a large vital gland known as the pancreas. It is designed to release glucagon, hormones and insulin as well as producing digestive enzymes that help the body absorb and digest food. Being that the pancreas is a storage base for digestive enzymes, injuries, such as pancreatitis, can become potentially menacing.
Pancreatitis is the inflation of the pancreas due to alcohol abuse, gallstones, physical trauma, medical procedures or medications, infections, high fat levels in the blood or hereditary diseases. The pain correlated with pancreatitis can range from mild to severe and may result in dehydration, hyperglycemia and further suffering such as nausea or vomiting, rapid heart rate or breathing, oily stools, fever, sweating, abdominal tenderness and weight loss.
There are three types of pancreatitis: acute—damage to the pancreas due to inflammation; however, most patients recover completely with treatment—chronic—severe longstanding damage marked by pancreatic necrosis and/or the loss of pancreatic function—and hereditary.
Medical marijuana is not the predominant remedy recommended by most doctors. Yet, the National Cancer Institute states that it provides natural anti-inflammatory effects. Because pancreatitis can lead to further life-threatening complications such as anorexia and cachexia, medical marijuana can alleviate these factors by increasing one's appetite. Gas-forming foods should be avoided and instead, patients should opt for a low fat diet that is high in carbohydrates and proteins six times a day (three small meals with snacks in between) accompanied by plenty of fluids to reduce the workload and pressure on the pancreas.
Food, at times, may cause attacks, or pain to the pancreas, which is why ingesting marijuana infused food products are not highly suggested. Instead, inhalation can be most useful as it helps reduce pain and the use of other pharmaceuticals that many patients depend on to assist in restoring the pancreas or coping with the attacks.

More than mere folklore, it is a biological fact that crickets chirp more when it is hot. For the snowy tree cricket (Oecanthus fultoni), the relationship between the chirp rate and the temperature is so reliable that it is referred to as the thermometer cricket. You can get a very close estimate of the temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) by counting the number of times a snowy tree cricket chirps in fifteen seconds and adding 40.
The rule used to estimate the temperature T (°F) in terms of the chirp rate, R (in chirps per minute) is an example of a function. The chirp rate is the independent variable in this situation, and the temperature is the dependent variable, since it is is determined by the chirp rate.
Describe this function using words, a table, a graph, and a formula.
Use what you know, and the graphing calculator, to answer the following questions:
- For what range of temperatures do you think this relation is valid?
- This situation describes a linear function. What is the meaning of the slope and intercepts?
- Last night was warm and muggy. I heard the temperature was still 75° at midnight! How many times would I expect the snowy tree cricket to have chirped in a minute?
- I remember being on vacation in Vermont last year and counting 15 chirps in 15 seconds one night. What month do you think I took that vacation?

If body suits, cat suits, nurse and maid uniforms happen to be something that gets you horny and if the fetish material that abounds on Love In Latex is how you adore experiencing these uniforms, then get set for an erotic ride.
There are few sites that I can think of with as high a quality of movies as the ones on LoveInLatex. This is of course, providing that I'm not talking about the affiliated sites like LatexAsylum or BPLimited. Unfortunately, while they are promoted, these sites don't come for free, but then it's no wonder since the price of admission is inexpensive for what you get.
Models are stunning, the latex is a complete turn on and while there's little not to simply pleasure on, I wasn't particularly impressed with the member's area, which wasn't any different than the tour page. It's not a huge issue, but separating the tour and member's area would psychologically go a long way in making me feel like I was getting something more than everyone else who wasn't a member. This aside, I also would have enjoyed a search option to find specific latex uniforms, babes or action scenes.
Currently there are 29 photosets and 22 videos. No, this is not a lot, but then again you aren't paying an enormous fee, either and the quality, especially of the videos, is frankly unbeatable.
Aside from latex, it looks as if all the action is focused on solo or lesbian excitement. I particularly loved the bathing beauty and wet rubber scenes, but then I do love water. Not only does it add to the wetness of the masturbation, but I love the way water pearls off the latex. Videos are between three and six minutes and while there are three qualities to choose, there's only Windows Media and Real Player formats. The videos are sharp, angles are perfect, although perhaps more emphasis on the latex would have added a bit of heat, not that the movies aren't sizzling already.
Photos can be viewed online and browsed with ease and you can enlarge them for a better view of the latex or of the babes peeling back the material to expose their juicy pussies (1200x800). The average set contains 20 images and they're much more obviously posed than the videos, yet still a turn-on.
It's hard to know how often the site updates, but there's already an average amount of content, some erotically hot latex and sex play and some amazing quality movies on Love In Latex.

U.S. ag exports seen strong through '08, Fed study shows
Exports hold the key to ag commodity price strength in the U.S., thus today's extended period of high prices and resulting farm prosperity, according to a recent report by the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. But, will this export-driven prosperity continue?
In the last eight years, according to Fed economist Maria Akers and Omaha Branch Executive assistant vice president Jason Henderson, ag exports have left imports in the dust; exports are up 46% to $90 billion in 2008 compared just under $50 billion in 2000. This is up from just over $25 billion in 1976.
Could this decades-long trend be on its way to a turnaround? Akers and Henderson say it's possible, but that the reliance on exports as a farm-income driver will remain fast.
"Prosperity for U.S. agriculture often hinges on exports," according to Akers and Henderson. "Today, booming agricultural export activity is again driven by strong demand for agricultural products and tight global supplies."
But, will these healthy export levels and bolstered farm incomes continue? Like many economic circumstances, export levels are cyclical in nature, Akers and Henderson add. That combined with potential changes in domestic and global grain supplies, could change demand for U.S. products abroad.
"The uncertainties of agricultural export activity are large. Past booms suggest that fluctuations in global food production and other factors that shape global demand, such as changing economic conditions, exchange rates and trade policies will influence global trade opportunities," according to Akers and Henderson.
Other nations like Brazil and Argentina are making adjustments that will improve overall ag output. Combined with the potential for a year of inclement weather in major crop-producing parts of the U.S., this could shift global export demand at least partially away from the U.S. market. "If supplies rise as expected, the demand for agricultural goods will be a key determinant of U.S. exports," Akers and Henderson add.
All things considered, the recent run-up in export-driven grain prices should be sustained through this year, the Fed economists say. Whether it continues beyond '08 will depend on how the world responds to another year of U.S. dominance in the global trade of ag goods.
"Coupled with strong domestic demand, robust export activity is fueling another surge of prosperity at the farm gate, primarily in the crop sector. With expectations of lean supplies and robust demand, farmers could enjoy another bountiful year, due in large part to rising export opportunities," according to Akers and Henderson. "Future prosperity will hinge on a variety of factors, primarily the production response of world farmers, the success of trade agreements and the ability of world economic growth to underpin strong food demand, especially in developing countries."
Exports hold the key to ag commodity price strength in the U.S., thus today's extended period of high prices and resulting farm prosperity, according to a recent report by the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. But, will this export-driven prosperity continue?

The Nissan Juke has a timing chain issue and they are breaking at 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 thousand miles rendering the motor useless with bent valves. Then Nissan wont honor the warranty, says its not their fault the timing chain they use breaks. And the replacement motor they...

|2013 Nissan JUKE Pros and Cons
I compared a lot of SUV crossovers before deciding on the Juke. Unknowns were the CVT and reliability record. However, the turbocharger gives this car a lot of pep. Handling is superb. AWD is a plus for winter weather. Ability to put it in manual is also great for snow...

I love the variety of driving "modes." I can get in, and choose how I want to drive that day. FWD, AWD-auto, full AWD; sporty/eco/balanced; manual or auto shift. The amount of control you have over the performance is amazing.
|2011 Nissan JUKE Pros and Cons
Very unique styling. I get head turns all the time and have even been stopped at red lights and gas stations to receive compliments on my car. It is an awesome experience.

Great AWD and AWD with vectoring performance
|2011 Nissan JUKE Pros and Cons
Inexpensive to fill up, still not bad when you spring for the premium it recommends, an ideal trip car. First road trip it averaged 25.2mpg, driven with a lead foot. The more the Juke is driven the better the milage seems to get.
|2011 Nissan JUKE Pros and Cons
Firm with minimal body roll and the ride is not rough because of its long suspension travel (higher ground clearance). Slip-sensing AWD mode helps grip in snow. Torque vectoring AWD mode fights under steer on pavement and is similar to systems like S-AWC.

Series: Great Alta Saga, the
Part: 1
(From the publisher):
Then Great Alta plaited the left side of her hair, the golden side, and let if all into the sinkhole of the night. And there she drew up the queen of shadows and set her upon the earth. Next she plaited the right side of her hair, the dark side, and with it caught the queen of light. And she set her next to the black queen.
"And you two shall be sisters. You shall be as images in a glass, the one reflecting the other..."
The White Babe, called Jenna, was raised on a mountainside, far from the world of men. Here she learned the arts of the warrior and the ancient lore of the mountain women; most important of all, here she learned how to call forth her dark sister from the depths of the mirror to the land of light and shadow.
Skada was the dark one, able to exist only when the moonlight cast a shadow or lamplight flickered in a darkened room, evaporating like dew in the clear light of day.
The Book of Light tells of the coming of the White Queen—of deception, and war, and the changing face of history. The folksongs of the Upper Dales tell of the bright one's darker twin, bound to her side, confined to the shadows.
Here is the legend of the Black Queen and the White.
And here, also, is the true story.

Each year on this day we are reminded that there are more important things than sports. We are reminded that nothing should be taken for granted, that the freedom we are blessed with does not come without a cost. Eleven years ago today the worst foreign attack on American soil was perpetrated by terrorists bent on destroying our country.
Looking back on that day, I distinctly remember thinking that the world I lived in had changed forever. Our sense of domestic security was threatened that day in a way it had never been before. We felt vulnerable as a nation. I felt vulnerable as 10th grader in rural New Hampshire.
Sports didn't matter that day. The Red Sox had just finished a three game series with the Yankees, but the morning of September 11th neither team existed in my world. Two things mattered, my grandparents who flew out of Boston that day and my two older brothers who were in the military at the time. My grandparents ended up being safe and while one of my brothers ended up in Iraq, the both finished their military service unharmed.
September 12th felt much the same as the previous day with one exception, instead of thinking solely about the horrors of the previous day, we collectively began to think of how to return to normal or at least accept a new normal. By the weekend the decision had been made to cancel all sporting events (remember, airports were barely beginning to re-open in the Northeast). The decision was necessary, sports were still irrelevant when compared to the tragedy we had just suffered, but sports would eventually return and would have to find a place in the new normal.
When all sports seasons resumed the following week the teams and sports took on a different meaning. First, it helped with the healing of the nation. The displays of patriotism and remembrance each team performed as they returned to the field for the first time united the country in a sort of vigil for those who lost their lives in the September 11th attacks. Second it marked the first time many Americans were able to turn off their over worked brains and enjoy something again. Sports began to help us form the new normal.
The Heisman would be awarded in December of 2001 to quarterback Eric Crouch of Nebraska just three months after the attacks. Unfortunately the ceremony would be affected by the events of September 11th.
The Downtown Athletic Club was located just a half mile from the World Trade center and while it did not suffer any damage, the building was forced to be evacuated and closed for an extended amount of time. Because of the forced closure the Downtown Athletic Club had to declare bankruptcy and was closed.
Seventeen Heisman winners collected their trophy in that building, and then went on to serve in the military to preserve the freedoms the terrorists sought to destroy eleven years ago. A majority of those men responded to a similar attack that changed their lives, the attack on Pearl Harbor.
HP and I travel to New York every year to attend the Heisman ceremony and we normally stay in the financial district just blocks away from Ground Zero. This year on an off day we walked down to the WTC memorial, passing by the closed Downtown Athletic Club. HP, a Navy veteran, and I talked about how our lives had been changed by the event and how the world we lived in was drastically different. We didn't talk about sports.
We didn't need to. Sports are part of the new normal.Powered by Sidelines

According to Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Android phones generate enough money as it is to cover any costs of creating software for the phones. Android phones get everyone connected to the internet, while these people are using the internet they are viewing ads that are created by Google, thus bringing in revenue for the company. Now that they are activating around 250,000 phones a day and more, they are increasing revenue each day.
Schmidt also believes there will be a day where there are 1 billion Android phones worldwide, and by charging $10 a year per user, Android could be a $10 billion revenue per year which is half of which they get now($21billion). One other way they could make profit through Android is creating a google mobile music store and selling music and videos to Android users. As we already know, Android is provided free to the manufacturers, so this is very interesting that Google can make this much potential profit through their mobile phone industry.

The PS3 and Vita are capable of cross-platform gameplay. That means it's possible for Vita players to engage in multiplayer matches with PS3 players and vice-versa. Certain games also include cross-platform cloud saves. The catch is you may have to purchase the Vita and PS3 versions of these games to benefit from these features. Fortunately, Sony is running a few promotions that will ultimately save you a bit of money.
Sony's promotion involves Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, WipEout 2048 and Hustle Kings. Basically, if you own these games on one platform, you'll get something for free on the other. For example, if you own Hustle Kings on PS3, you'll be able to download the Vita version for free. It also works the other way around.
For Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Sony and Capcom are letting previously-purchased DLC to carry over to both platforms.
Those who own WipEout HD and HD Fury on PS3 will be able to download DLC for WipEout 2048 when it's released in the spring.

Counting Cars – Season 1 DVD
Danny "The Count" Kokar and his gang have a flair for the dramatic. From boldly colored cars to painted flames spurting across hoods and doors, the guys come up with some bold, unique, and always professional designs to showcase cars from various points in history. History's reality series is a bit of a stretch for the channel—there are a crew of very modern guys creating modern cars out of historical vehicles, but if you liked Danny's guest stints on Pawn Stars, no doubt there is something to find, here, as well.
Counting Cars – Season 1 is notable thanks to History hopefully turning a new leaf with its DVD sets. If you've stuck around for some of the other sets created for History reality series, you know they aren't anything to write home about. A season will be split into two volumes and usually buyers get half of a reality TV season and no extras. However, the Counting Cars offers 13 episodes on two discs, and a variety of extra behind-the-scenes footage that wasn't used during the show. Overall, it's a step in the right direction for History's reality programs, and I hope this full-season format is used in the future.
You can order Counting Cars – Season 1 over at Amazon.
Best Special Feature: There are 19 "bonus footage" scenes available with the set. Some of these segments aren't as great, but a few are really fun or helpful, including a scene where Danny tries to buy a sweet Gangster-era vehicle from a guy who really just wants a paint job and another scene where a tour of the premises and of the workers at Count's Kustoms is undertaken. I'm more of a Pawn Stars gal, myself, but anyone who enjoys some pretty looking cars and the process it takes to give these cars a custom look should enjoy the extras.

"There is a lady sweet and kind, was never face so pleased my mind; I did but see her passing by, and yet I love her till I die..." This well-known poem, attributed to Thomas Ford, is set to a lovely, lyrical melody for male voices. Fantastic for teaching musical line and chordal harmonies, it is also a great beginning-of-the-year piece, appropriate for any concert setting. This is absolutely gorgeous! Highly recommended!

Mead made speedily
Lost Cause Meadery noteworthy for reduced fermentation period
Ian Anderson 4 p.m., Nov. 19
"Our Border" (ourborder.ning.com), an online social networking website set up by Obama administration border czar Alan Bersin, is having a contest to recruit new members:
"We just want to remind you about the Membership Challenge that is still taking place!" says a recent email from the operation, dubbed the "Southwest Border Civic Network." "This gives you the opportunity to spread the word about Our Border. Whoever invites the most people will WIN a Border Patrol hat signed by [Homeland Security] Secretary [Janet] Napolitano! We have already had 82 new members join the Our Border network since the contest started." The contest ends December 8 … San Diego district attorney Bonnie Dumanis is helping launch her reelection bid with a campaign fund-raiser in the form of a "Holiday Cocktail Reception" on Tuesday, December 15, at the home of Sandy Shapery, located in a luxury apartment in the Shapery Emerald Plaza Building on Broadway across from the courthouse. Backers, according to a recent email, include Sheriff Bill Gore, waging his own election battle, San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders, city attorney Jan Goldsmith, and city councilman Kevin Faulconer.
If you support Bonnie, we'll see you there!
On December 15, 2009 - 5:00pm – 7:30pm outside of The Shapery Emerald Plaza Building, 400 West Broadway, San Diego, CA 92101 we will hold a Peaceful gathering to send our message:
"Ms. Dumanis' reign of terror over the San Diego Medical Marijuana Community must end!"
Come one come all and help Stop Operation Green Rx and let Bonnie's supporters know that they are supporting a candidate who goes against the will of the people.
If you are planning on attending either the rally or the fund raiser please let us know.

problem with Berry's plated 45acp 185gr hbrn
I usually load 200gr lswc for my 45 load. My standard load is 3.8/3.9 gr Clays. Recently I decided to try a few different bullets, e.g. 185gr lswc and Berry's 185 plated hbrn. Using the same 3.8/3.9 Clays the 185gr lswc performed well in my 1911's but had feed problems in my Sig. The real surprise was how poorly the
Berry's performed. I seated them them at 1.255 since they have about the same profile as 230gr, just have a hollow base similar the 38 hbwc's. Several searches of "reloading sites" recommended not crimping tightly since they are plated not jacketed. So I crimped to .470 (or about 3/4 turn on Lee FCD)...anyway, there appears to be unburned powder, they won't cycle the 1911's (which have 12-13lb recoil springs), even the sound is more of a poof instead of the normal report. My gut tells me to significantly tighten the crimp but what are some other thoughts?
Regards, Jim

Add more powder.
Powder needs to achieve a certain level of pressure to combust efficiently.
A flat based 185 gr. bullet takes up more case capacity than a hollow based bullet. So, in effect, the hollow base means that (for the same amount of powder) lower pressures are developed.
I'd personally try working from 4.0 to 4.5 and see how that does for you. Five rounds each should be enough of a test.
As an aside, Hodgdon lists 4.9 gr. of clays as max load for a 185 gr. JHP.

rnovi is right, the charge is way low for a bullet that light seated out that long.
Increase the crimp and watch them lead the bore and tumble, .470" is already a touch on the heavy side. You might want to skip the FCD and crimp them in a normal die, the FCD might be swaging them down enough to cause some problems too.
I would start with 4.5 and 4.8 for the next round of tests. 4.8 should be JUST enough to run a gun with stock springs, so your guns will probably run about right.

jim, Not sure which sig you hjave, but my revolution had the same problem with SWC's when i first started shooting them, but the feed ramp broke in, and I rarely have the problem. i also seat to make sure I am right above the case lip with the shoulder of the SWC and all seems fine.
My problem is with my Springfield 1911 shoots low on the same charges that my sig shoots great on.

I shoot the same bullet. Had the same problem. Upped the load, now they shoot great. That's the solution. Its not a crimp issue, its a load issue.
ETA, another reason you need to up the load is that the lighter bullets reduce slide action. That may be causing your feed problems.

Thank you gentlemen.
I will up the powder amount. The answers all made perfect sense:
re the 185 hbrn -- that the hollow base increased case capacity, therefore less pressure and poor combustion (that was my line of thinking when I thought to crimp more which probably would have destroyed the plating), I will load a variety this pm upping the charge and go back to less crimping;
re the 185 lswc and my Sig - it's a 220 with LOTS of rounds through it, does great with 200gr lswc but just not care for the 185gr lswc. I will just stick with 200gr swc for the Sig.
Thanks Again

As little as I currently read comic books right now, even I know that Warren Ellis is one hell of a comic book writer. His work on Planetary is just incredible — at once complex, instantly familiar, and wholly original. I don't know how the guy does it. He takes a bunch of disparate plots, seemingly from old movies, monster movies, and fairy tales, and turns them into engaging comic book stories. That's Planetary in a nutshell. If you haven't read it, I recommend getting the trade paperbacks. Now here's news that Ellis' 6-issue limited series "Ocean" has been optioned for a movie.
The guys shelling out the bucks for the option are Hollywood Gang's Gianni Nunnari and Nick Wechsler. Both men have histories with comic book movies, with Nunnari producing the uber hit "300", before teaming up with Weschler to bring Frank Miller's "Ronin" to the big screen.
Story concerns the thousands of coffins containing angel-like bodies, and a giant weapon of mass destruction, discovered by a scientist on Jupiter's ice-covered moon Europa. A U.N. weapons inspector sent to investigate uncovers a chilling secret about the history of humanity.
Wechsler called the graphic novel "an alien thriller with a fresh take on the origin of man."
Sounds like a winner. That is, if they don't start thinking about "tweaking" Ellis' writing.
P.S. And if you haven't picked up Ellis' "Black Summer", you should start.

MEMORIES OF A VILLAGER [Plough Monday Play at North Collingham, Notts.]
Nottinghamshire Archives Collection, Written 6th Feb.1960, Ref.DD121/1/20, 3pp.
Entry to an essay competition on old village life at North Collingham, Notts. It includes the following;
"The observance of Plough Monday is worthy of mention. Sometimes a small group of farm employees would prepare a play (or perhaps 'sketch' would be the better word.) which they would perform at the bigger farm houses on Plough Monday evening. My Mother recalled some if it to me and it must have been interesting to watch.
She said one of the 'Plough Jags' as they were called, would come to the door singing:-'Good master and good mistress when you're sitting by the fire,
Please think of us poor Ploughboys outside in mud and mire.'
Grandma would open the door to find a man in motley garb, who would enter and says:-'Here comes I who've never been before.
'Seven merry actors are waiting at the door.
'Some can dance and some can sing.
'And if you give consent they will all walk in.'
On entering they would sing:-'God bless the master of this house,
'Likewise the mistress too,
'And all the little children
'That round the table go.'
Then would follow a short play or sketch, after which one man would say 'I'm hungry.' Another would say 'I'm dry,'
Another 'I'd like a drop of your beer and a bit of your pork pie.
These comestibles having been produced, they would sing in chorus:-'Good health to the man who kills a pig and sends his
neighbour a fry,
'Washed down with a drop of best brewed ale and a thumping big pork pie.'
After the play, a collection was taken. If they thought the amount too small, they would often run a plough through the lawn or lift a gate off its hinges and carry it away, thus causing trouble. These tricks brought them into disrepute and gradually the annual sojourn of the 'Plough Jags' ceased altogether. There was often talent in the party however, many having good voices and enough musical talent to play accordians, fiddles and Jews' harps as well."
Mrs. Bealby was born on the 19th May 1880.
