Ides of Gemini
Los Angeles trio Ides of Gemini is nothing if not evocative. For this particular listener, Constantinople conjures images of a caravan trudging into some unknowable wilderness, wrapped in the gauzy patina of memory. The music seems to speak of wide open spaces, but that vastness is always attenuated by a sharply inward eye. Constantinople is simple, plaintive, and haunting; you may find yourself traveling elsewhere, but these songs will have followed you.
Guitarist, principal songwriter, and veteran metal journalist J. Bennett has said that the focus of his songwriting for Ides of Gemini has always been to provide the most effective showcase for the voice of his partner, bassist and lead singer Sera Timms (also of velvety darkness-slingers Black Math Horseman). It's a wise decision, given that Timms's superlative voice ranges from an earthy, low alto to a starkly declarative upper register; her vocals are made all the more alluring by the unencumbered simplicity of their delivery.
With only three players, the songwriting naturally focuses on parsimony. Even setting aside the layered lead vocals and backing vocals of Sera Timms and drummer Kelly Johnston, respectively, these songs are crafted to wring the greatest effect out of a gestural minimalism. Thus, the tonal palette and principal songwriting motifs are highly uniform across the album. Although there are dynamic shifts, they take place on a highly compressed spectrum, and it may take the ear a few listens to calibrate to this. Still, once one's ear has attuned itself, those shifts become great microdramas, as with the switch to distortion on the guitar for the slinky, descending swing into the chorus of "Starless Midnight," or the jarring tremolo and uncharacteristically bouncy snare work that appear halfway through "Martyrium."
Most of Constantinople's songs feel like equal parts hymn and manifesto, but the watchword is always restraint. The drums effectively carry the melody on opener "The Vessel & The Stake"; they're not just pushing a beat, they're dictating the narrative pace. The chorus to "Martyrium" repeats "Go tell God…" for so long that one isn't quite sure whether there's an end to the statement. Not until the very end of the song is the thought completed: "Go tell God: 'I am one of your heresies, like the beasts who pulled each piece apart from me.'"
Despite these strengths, the album truly succeeds because of the vital hinge formed by the conversation between its two central songs, "Resurrectionists" and "One to Oneness." One is hesitant and timid, the other bold, declarative; their canny sequencing is, in fact, the key that unlocks the rest of the album. The settling of the carefully plucked guitar of "Resurrectionists" against the simple, almost languid drum beat seems to chart the beating of the heart -- patient, insistent, yet always threatening to flag behind. The lyrics speak of physical weakness and an intensely inward anxiety: "Cover me, I've lost my divinity," and then the chorus, heartless in its naked lament, "How will I rise? This body was once mine." That anxiety is the foil against which the album's few moments of triumph stand out, as it is on "One to Oneness," which banishes the previous plaint with its rippling cascade of drums and Timms's most impassioned vocal turn: "I am the truth!"
Constantinople is not a flawless album, and those for whom the question of whether a given album or artist is or is not even rightfully called "metal" are unlikely to be convinced by Ides of Gemini's gloomy, atmospheric lullabies. The band's songwriting economy occasionally becomes counterproductive, as on "Slain in Spirit," where the vocal melody is too unwavering in insisting that every phrase throughout the verses finish with the same half-note dip downward. It matches the downcast tone of the marching instrumentation nicely, but over four-and-a-half minutes becomes rather grating. Beyond that, it's a little disappointing that all the songs from the 2010 demo The Disruption Writ are present here, meaning that only five of the nine songs are new. Still, the sound is different enough between the demo and this album to make hearing those older tracks a reasonably altered experience; the guitars are less of a distant wash, Timms's vocals are slightly less wraithlike, and the human touch of Johnston's drumming is a welcome improvement over the demo's drum machine.
In the end, although Neurot is probably as good a spiritual home as any for Ides of Gemini, I'm not entirely sure for what sort of audience Constantinople will have the greatest appeal, and that's okay. Like folk songs from an imaginary country, or a poem you wrote years ago and then forgot, these songs will meet you where you are. Maybe they can make something of your pain.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pasta has always been one of America's favorite foods, offering limitless options for recipes, flavors and comfort. Even better, pasta is one of the most effective delivery systems for other healthy foods, such as fresh vegetables, lean meats, fish, poultry and beans, which one needs in a well-balanced diet. And Americans are getting it right! Pasta Fits (www.pastafits.org), a nutrition and culinary education and resource initiative sponsored by the National Pasta Association, reports that its most shared pasta recipes are those containing fish and poultry. Fish and poultry recipes are five times more popular than any other type of recipe Pasta Fits offers.

"Pasta is a perfect foundation for healthy, nutritious and satisfying meals, as it can be easily paired with nutrient-dense food partners, such as fiber-filled vegetables and beans, heart healthy fish and monounsaturated oils, antioxidant-rich tomato sauce and protein-packed cheese, poultry and lean meats," says registered dietitian Diane Welland. "Fall is a wonderful time to take advantage of the seasonal ingredients and try new colors and flavors."
In celebration of National Pasta Month, Welland offers the following tips for experimenting with recipe ideas:
Have Fun with Flavors, Colors and Textures
Experiment with different varieties of your favorite fruits and vegetables or try new foods altogether. Fall is a time when many fruits and vegetables are at their peak and markets are overflowing with ripe, and sometimes local, selections. Take advantage of the season and look for heirloom varieties like orange pumpkin or winter squash, snow-white cauliflower, crinkle-leafed kale and crisp apples. Explore a local farmers' market and experiment with a new food. Pair it with pasta as a way to introduce more unusual foods to your family.
Color is Key
When preparing a meal, take note of the variety of color in the ingredients. For example, ripe red tomatoes, dark leafy greens and bright yellow corn offer a diversity of flavor, nutrients and make for a beautiful meal. Importantly, when selecting fruits or vegetables, those that are deeper in color – whether red, orange, yellow or green – tend to be more nutritious, loaded with vitamins like A and C, minerals like potassium and magnesium and fiber. Think spinach, sweet potatoes and beets. It is these brightly colored, nutrient-dense foods that offer more protective health benefits against cancer and other diseases, as well as help control calorie intake and blood sugar, due to an assortment of plant compounds.
Grab a Handful of Herbs
Fresh chopped herbs are a great way to bump up flavor without upping the fat or salt content of a recipe. Most fresh herbs are milder than their dry counterparts, so more is needed in a recipe. There are many delicious herbs in season now, such as parsley, chives, rosemary and thyme. Generally, if a recipe calls for dry herbs, simply double or triple the amount for fresh herbs. Fresh herbs are also a source of healthy antioxidants. And when it comes to pasta, fresh herbs add color and aroma as well as flavor. Another tip: dressing pasta with herbs while it is still warm enhances the taste. Choose favorites like thyme, rosemary, sage or dill or create herb combinations like basil-oregano or parsley-basil-oregano for an extra dose of flavor.
There are so many ways a food lover can celebrate National Pasta Month, from learning how to cook the perfect pasta to how to pair a sauce with a shape. For recipe ideas, tips and resources, please visit www.pastafits.org.

Reversed Polarity
- ‹ Previous program
- 165 of 2172
- Next program ›
When a character in TV science fiction faces a tough technical problem, one solution always seems to work: reverse the polarity.
That may not fix problems in real life, but for the scientists who study the Sun, reversing the polarity is a big event. It signals that the Sun has started a new 11-year cycle of magnetic activity.
A new cycle began in January, when telescopes on the ground and in orbit measured a small sunspot -- a relatively cool, dark magnetic "storm" on the surface of the Sun. The observations showed that the polarity of the sunspot was reversed from that of the sunspot before it.
As the Sun spins on its axis, different layers of hot gas spin at different rates. That generates a powerful magnetic field around the Sun.
Over a period of several years, the lines of magnetic force get twisted and tangled. That produces many more sunspots. The lines can also cross each other, creating "short circuits" -- powerful explosions of energy and particles. These outbursts can disrupt communications and electrical systems on Earth.
At the end of a cycle, the Sun's magnetic field flips over: magnetic north becomes magnetic south, and vice versa.
The Sun has been quiet for the last few years. But the start of a new cycle means that it'll get busier in the years ahead. The new cycle should peak around 2012, and end around 2019 -- when scientists will once again be waiting for the Sun to reverse polarity.
More about the Sun tomorrow.

Companion Cube
Posted by Shawn Boles in Development, TechnologyFor the gaming/programmer community, Portal is THE GAME. Seemingly from nowhere, this game burst upon the scene and took the nerd world by storm. Excellent storyline, snappy dialog, challenging puzzles, and an awesome space-warping gun combine to create an incredibly memorable game.
Nearly overnight, the hacker lexicon got some new words and phrases. This guide will help you make sense of most hacker conversations you may hear that refer to Portal.
The Cake is a Lie
The artificially intelligent computer that runs the series of puzzles (known as the Aperture Science Computer Aided Enrichment Center) goads your character along by stating that "cake" will be served to you if you survive all the tests. However, graffiti on the walls of the center proclaim otherwise… stating that the cake being promised is a great, big lie.
Hackers generally use this phrase either as an icebreaker or as a description of a situation where somebody is motivated to do a difficult task for a promised but unverified reward.
I'm making a note here: Huge Success!
At the end of the game, the computer gives you your final review. At the beginning of the review, it says "This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: Huge Success!"
Like Trekkies shouting "Qua'pla!" (Klingon for "Success!"), programmers are now known to say that they are "making a note here: Huge Success!"
The Companion Cube
The Companion Cube is an inert storage cube imbued with a personality by the game programmers to trick game players into carrying this cube throughout a puzzle, but then requiring them to destroy it at the end. They did such a good job, however, that game players have become attached to this "Companion Cube," going so far as to build little paper models or buy plushies of this "character." Generally, you'll hear a hacker talk about how they would never let go of their companion cube, or something along those lines.
Aperture Science Thing We Don't Know What It Does
Programmers find long multi-word names for products to be humorous. The game developers played on this concept:
- It's not the lab. It's the Aperture Science Computer Aided Enrichment Center.
- It's not a storage box. It's an Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube.
- It's not a button. It's an Aperture Science 1500 Megawatt Superconducing Super Button.
The joke is to take, say, a mouse, and turn it into an "Aperture Science Rotational Axis 2 Dimensional Vector Detecting Peripheral".
Now You're Thinking in Portals
With this guide handy, you can start to understand the conversations of your Portal crazed coworkers. You will no longer be confused when a coworker bursts out laughing when holding a slice of cake. You won't wonder why he has a background with little hearts all over it, displaying a strange box. You can now safely laugh at any name longer than 4 words, knowing that it's most likely a joke. This won't help with any of the other strange things developers say, but at least their conversations should be a little more transparent now.
For more information, check Wikipedia, or better yet, Watch the trailer and play the game.

The 50 most controversial movies ever
Fans of Brian De Palma's coke-laced remake owe themselves a visit to the original, considered wildly inappropriate in its day. Hollywood censors objected to the violence, the glamorization of crime and intimations of incest; they insisted on both a new ending and a new title, Scarface: The Shame of the Nation. Megabucks producer Howard Hughes scoffed and disowned the edit.—JR
Times Square hustlers, lowlife junkies and free-lovin' hippies—could suburban audiences stomach John Schlesinger's nightmarish New York City? The MPAA didn't think so, instantly slapping this depraved drama with a dreaded X rating. Oscar voters thought otherwise, though, making it the only "adults only" movie to win Best Picture.—DF
When Vilgot Sjöman's sexually explicit Swedish drama was brought into this country, custom agents seized it at the airport. Suddenly, this foreign film became a cause célèbre; the case went all the way to the Supreme Court before obscenity charges were dropped. The bold movie paved the way for all the art-house smut and porn-chic that followed.—DF
It doesn't matter that much of this "documentary" was faked (director John Alan Schwartz, working under the name Conan le Cilaire, also played the leader of a flesh-eating cult). It still represents an essential rite of passage for thousands of teenage sleepovers, inculcating a taste for naughtiness. Monkey brains? Nah. All special effects.—JR
Forget the billing order: The breakout star(s) of this tawdry Western was Jane Russell's bust. Obsessive producer-director Howard Hughes featured Russell's assets prominently in both the movie and its leering promotional material. The outcry over immorality delayed general release for three years—at which point this mammary-obsessed pet project became a mammoth hit.—DF
Philip Kaufman's adventurous biopic about libidinous literary mavericks Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin proved that the new NC-17 rating carried the same stigmas as its X predecessor, with media-outlet boycotts turning the film into cinema non grata. Overnight, Kaufman's erotic love story became a culture-wars flash point.—DF
Queer and feminist activists were vexed by Jonathan Demme's much-lauded chiller, due to its flamboyantly transsexual villain, Buffalo Bill, and his relish for skinning women. Protests were held at screenings, and a clearly shaken Demme tried to atone with his next fiction feature, the courthouse AIDS drama, Philadelphia.—KU
Many predicted Spike Lee's incendiary take on Bed-Stuy race relations would stir up riots. But the only trash cans hurled through pizzeria windows were verbal: Lee accused reviewers of blind prejudice, while heated editorials were plentiful. The film became a political football, and its provocative influence persists.—KU
Moral pundits don't like seeing wanton sex, drug usage and criminal activities in movies; throw in underage teens doing all the above and you've got a bona fide uproar on your hands. Photographer-turned filmmaker Larry Clark certainly didn't skimp on the adolescent bad behavior in his film debut (scripted by budding auteur Harmony Korine), prompting accusations of child porn and forcing Miramax to buy back the movie from its parent company, Disney.—DF
Sexual intercourse is implied rather than shown in this frenzied German film about a love triangle (tame by today's standards). But the close-ups of blushing Hedy Lamarr, in clear rapture during an illicit encounter with a hunky construction worker, were enough to raise the hackles of the National Legion of Decency, which banned its importation. Pope Pius XI publicly denounced it, which didn't help either.—KU

mid 2011, Couldn't do a Debian netinstall, because neither the wireless nor the ethernet interfaces were correctly detected during the base system install (maybe just a Debian problem? not sure). I had to separately download the wireless firmware and install it after installing the base system from usb, then apt-get everything else.
Also manually copied over wpa_supplicant deb and deps and had to edit /etc/network/interfaces
There was some other trickery needed due to having an e1000e ethernet but I can't recall what.

Being new to this game it's all a bit confusing to me. I have started a few characters to get the feel of the game, but I would like a good build to follow. I'm interested in either a Ritualist or a Summoner.
I have found the complete builds in Irma2's post "Mainstream TitanCalc class compendium" but I need to know how to build them. Which mastery do I start with, what order do I need to add to the masteries, which stats should I boost and what stats should I look for in the gear I wear?
I like the idea of a caster (using a staff) supported by pets, preferably being able to heal myself or my pets as necessary.
Any help welcomed. I'm open to suggestions for either build and/or opinions on which build would suit me best. Thanks for reading.

Georgia is strategically important to the United States in the war on terror and an indispensable transit point for energy supplies between Asia and Europe. Though the countrys November 2003 revolution of roses is the most positive event to have occurred in the countries of the former Soviet Union in more than a decade, Georgia is entering an unstable period of transition as its new government tries to promote national coherence among the countrys ethnic groups and takes steps to dismantle the corrupt power structure that thrived under former president Eduard Shevardnadze. This timely report, written by an expert on conflict prevention in the Caucasus, recommends steps the United States and the international community can to take to bolster President Mikhail Saakashvili as well as moves his government should make in the short and long term.

In the not-so-distant future, Supernaturals have announced their presence to the world. But now a secret government agency is rounding them up, hoping to use them for its own purposes.
With Supernaturals going missing every day, Nick has been careful to guard his own secret, never giving anyone reason to notice him. That is until Ellie comes careering into his train carriage.
Instantly drawn to her, he tries to help. But soon both their secrets are revealed, and they find themselves on the run in a desperate bid to escape from the mysterious Time Keepers, whose net is closing in around them.

I bought this as a light weight and hands free alternative to lugging around my tackle box. I have used it 3 times this year and have been very pleased with the quality and ease of use. Plenty of room for everything I need for targeted trips.
One minor nit. I would have preferred a better colour

Rated 2 out of 5 by FlyfishermaninIndiana Poorly designed sling pack
I own several different sling packs as this one is no different. It will not fit a large person well. Not enough pockets and too few pockets for my use. No place to attach and good net. I disliked it so much I gave it away to a neighborhood boy for Christmas.

HOME | Arts | Health | Language Arts | Math/Science | Social Studies | World Languages | Glossary
Alaska Department of Education & Early DevelopmentationArts Glossary |
Glossary of Terms Common Chapters
Assessments. Processes of appraising or evaluating student work. (See Evaluation below.)
Constructivist. Referring to an educational theory (constructivism) that posits that people construct personal understanding by modifying their existing concepts (or schema) in light of new evidence and experience in order to reduce discrepancies between past knowledge and new observations. This implies that students do not simply accept what has been taught, but rather shift their understanding in response to what has been taught.
Content Area. The subject area: in Alaska the arts, English/language arts, geography, government/citizenship, history, math, science, skills for a healthy life, technology, and world languages.
Cooperative Learning. Instructional strategies that develop cooperative group behaviors including the division of tasks, peer teaching, and individual and group accountability for products. Cooperative learning strategies explicitly teach students how to be productive and supportive group members.
Curriculum. Curriculum is what students should know, be able to do, and be committed to (content), how it is taught (instruction), how it is measured (assessment), and how the educational system is organized (context).
Curriculum Framework. A document that provides information, guidelines, suggested resources, and models for districts as they revise curriculum.
Developmentally Appropriate Practice. The use of content, instruction, and assessment that meets the student's ability to reason, interpret, focus, communicate, and interact, both socially and academically. These abilities change significantly as a result of age and experiences.
Embedded Assessment. Assessment that occurs during the course of instruction and is indistinguishable from instruction. A test at the end of a unit is not embedded. Maintaining a checklist that is recorded by the teacher at any time when the teacher witnesses the student reaching an expectation is embedded.
Equity Evaluation. Inventories and assessments of the behaviors at sites or in districts that support or discourage equitable participation and success by students of all cultures. These can include collecting data on the participation and tracking of diverse students in particular classes, the cultural representation among visible learning partners in the schools, common instructional strategies, text analyses, library collection analyses, and attitude inventories among students, faculty and staff.
Evaluation. The process of testing, appraising, and judging achievement, growth, product, and process or changes in these using formal or informal techniques.
Hands-On Learning. Instructional activities in which the students manipulate the materials, as contrasted with activities in which the students simply read about or hear about phenomena.
Inquiry-Based Learning. Instructional activities that are initiated through central questions or investigations. In inquiry-based learning students often determine the answers by collecting and synthesizing their own data.
Integrated, Interdisciplinary Instruction. Instruction that addresses standards from more than one content area. This can occur in a variety of forms: applied projects, thematic instruction, service learning projects, social-issue investigations, science-technology-society investigations, simulations, etc.
Interdisciplinary Curriculum. Topics and concepts tied together, i.e., thematic instruction.
Key Elements. Itemized lists that further describe the content of each standard. Key elements identify the major component parts, features, traits, or dimensions of the Alaska content standards.
Learner-centered Instruction. Teaching and learning focused on the students' needs, interests, and abilities.
Learning Partners. Parents, elders, primary care givers, other family members, the business community, mentors, and other volunteers who work with students both in and out of the classroom.
Learning Styles. People tend to have preferences in their approach to learning tasks. Some prefer to make random associations. Others are more comfortable with structured interpretations. Some prefer abstract interactions with ideas, while others require a concrete experience to introduce a concept. Research suggests that most of us learn best when information is presented in a way that matches our preferred learning styles. Research also suggests that our learning style preferences can be broadened.
Measurement Yardsticks (Processes, Instruments). The tools of assessment, including, but not limited to, checklists and other rubrics, portfolios, and tests.
Modality. A generic term referring to ways of thinking, including both learning styles and multiple intelligences.
Multiple Intelligences. Howard Gardner proposes that all humans are endowed with seven forms of intelligence: mathematical/logical, linguistic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, spatial, and kinesthetic. Schools usually emphasize the linguistic and mathematical/logical intelligences.
Preservice. Training prior to being employed as a teacher.
Reference Kits. Collections of reference books, articles, and tapes for curriculum development committees to use during the curriculum revision process. These can be borrowed from the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development.
Reliability. The consistency of assessment results from an instrument over time or over a number of trials.
Rubric. A scoring guide including a summary listing of the characteristics that distinguish high quality from low quality work.
Scaffolding. Instruction that is organized in a way that identifies the students' prior knowledge about a topic and creates connections between past understandings or experiences and new knowledge.
Scoring guides. See Rubric.
Standards. Broad lists of what students should know, be able to do , and be committed to. The State of Alaska has created student standards in the following areas: English/language arts, history, geography, civics/government, science, mathematics, arts, world languages, healthy life skills, and technology.
Statutes. Laws enacted by the legislative branch upon which educational regulations are based.

iPhones are supposed to be easy, right? Well, they are extremely easy to set up, as long as your Exchange environment is ready for ActiveSync. If these are the first devices you'll be using as ActiveSync clients, you may have some work to do, primarily if you are using a single-server Exchange environment.
At first, I had lots of trouble, with not a lot of ideas on where to start troubleshooting. You try with the basics like HTTP logs, firewall logs, and the Windows event log. Well it's not always easy to tell when you're on the right track.
In any case, when you run your Outlook Web Access system on the same server as your mailbox stores, you generally are going to have a lot of set-up to do for Outlook Mobile Access, ActiveSync, or RPC over HTTP.
On to the fix. After trying several things, I stumbled upon a word doc on Microsoft's site, highlighting the steps to take when you'd like OMA and ActiveSync to work on a single-server Exchange installation. The Page numbered Thirteen is where the tasty bits start.
Essentially, services like OMA and ActiveSync are built on top of Outlook Web Access, only they are unable to communicate with the OWA services via HTTPS. The steps in the document lead you to a way to create an instance of OWA on your server which will be accessed by only by OMA and ActiveSync. After going through the steps in the document, the shiny iPhones worked like champs, and the IT staff at my company can begin evaluating their fitness as Blackberry killers. The prospects are good for full on Blackberry annihilation, except there has been reluctance about the on-screen keyboard.

I guess that's my version of the "Hello World". So let's get to the point, why is MuslimGamer.com here?
Why not I guess? I have been gaming since the Commodore 64 and I'm over 30 now and still going. So I guess I have played my fair share of games and systems over the years. When I had a look around on the net and searched for "Muslim Gamer", all I came across were random posts or groups across the net. So while I start this with humble beginnings, Insha'Allah some kind of community forms around it and it will develop into "Muslim Gamers" rather than the single gamer.
I have the attention span of a hamster so let's see how much well I am at keeping this maintained. The plan Insha'Allah is to have a bit of everything really. While it will be about gaming, I also plan on updating it with general stuff that is going on around the world, techy – geeky stuff and the odd review here and there. If more people find the site then I'll put some forums up and Insha'Allah the community will form from there.
Personally I'm more of a RTS and FPS person myself, but I have dabbled in MMO's and Sims. I love my gadgets and try and upgrade (more than I should) as often as I can.
My current gaming rig is as follows
Crossfire Sapphire 6950 rig
Core i7 930
6GB Ram
3 Samsung Syncmaster 2443 24″ monitors running Eyefinity
Logitech G9, G13, G35, G940, G19, G25
So more than ample to play anything out there these days.
I'm open to any suggestions, tips, requests or questions so feel free to contact me anytime.

What a difference a year doesn't make for tablets, observes writer Alan Cohen. The iPad 2 looks a lot like the original iPad, but without awaited new features like a super-high-resolution screen. Even so, would-be contenders to the tablet throne -- one of the latest being the Android-based Motorola Xoom -- aren't quite up to Apple's challenge.

Researchers didn't see any differences by age groups. And, while the black children had higher levels of phthalates as a whole, the association with obesity happened at relatively low levels of exposure, Trasande said. The study used data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2008 nationwide testing of chemicals in people's bodies.
It's possible black children are simply more exposed, or they metabolize the chemicals differently, said Emily Barrett, a professor at the University of Rochester who studies exposure to environmental chemicals.
Many factors – including nutrition and stress – could alter how different children metabolize chemicals, said Jennifer Adibi, an epidemiology professor at the University of California, San Francisco.
In a study released late last year by Trasande and colleagues, another hormone disrupting chemical – bisphenol A – was linked to obesity in only white children.
Trasande controlled for diet, television watching, gender and age in the phthalate study. Pinning chemicals to weight gain is a challenge, but the study forces some new thinking about obesity, he said.
The next research step is to look at phthalate exposures from fetus to childhood to try to tease out whether the chemicals are contributing to obesity, he said.
Adibi said the findings are "interesting and scary." While it's not enough evidence to spur policy changes, she hopes it will reframe the conversations about risks to disadvantaged communities.
"This is another reason to increase awareness among low income, African American and Hispanic populations and let them know they're at an increased risk of exposure to these chemicals and that we're seeing these associations (with obesity)," Adibi said.

Brown Paper Packages...
We have had a house full of visitors the past week or two, and it has been so much fun! (Well minus the cold that Avery has been afflicted with.)
But now that things have slowed down a bit...for a few days at least, I am busy busy working on some Christmas gifts. But I can't show you photos of those.
I can show you photos of the wrapping though...which to me, is almost as good as what's inside.
Growing up, my mom went to special effort to wrap presents beautifully. It was so fun to walk past the tree and admire the gilded papers and yards of fancy wired fabric ribbons tying them. Yeah, Meier and Frank had nothing on her! It was something that started first thing in December and we got to enjoy all through the month. You could always tell which gifts were purchased and wrapped early in the Christmas season, and which were quickly done the night before, by the fanciness of their wrapping.
I love to make things look beautiful. I love giving gifts, because it means that I get to think about how I am going to wrap them. I love using real ribbon, and pretty tissue paper, and most often a plain brown or white box. I love crafting a note card. And it is all kind of silly and fleeting...but that's what makes it special I guess. Anyway, I love wrapping gifts, and I hate waiting until the last minute to do it.
This year I am reprising an idea I had three or four years ago. I lived in Omaha, and the great thing about Omaha (yes there are some) is that folks still think their junk is junk, and don't realize the wonderful repurposing potential. Their yard sales, and thrifts stores were a trove of crafting goodness.
I found these gaudy costume jewelry earrings at a yard sale and bought the lot. Then I just broke the post off the back and glued a pin in its place (although in retrospect...I could have just kept the post on...but who wants weird ear gunk on their ribbon?). Then I wrapped the gifts with simple plain paper, tied with a pink, brown, or blue velvet ribbon (LOVE velvet ribbon!), and finished with a sparkly jewel.
Honestly it was hard for me to part with them, so if you received one, I really love you. Funny thing is that I remember exactly who I gave which jewel package to, and what color of ribbon went with it, but I have no memory of what gift I gave them.
I kept at least one of each pair of jewels, and I might just part with them this year,
...unless I decide to put the posts back on and actually wear them. I am kind of tempted.

What a great idea, I may have to steal it. If I got a package like that I would probably be more excited about the package than what was in it.

So beautiful!
Also, I nominated you for a "blog award" (see my blog). I'm not really into chain-email-type-things (which this reminds me of), so I'm not beholding you to anything by nominating you. You can pass it on or not, but I thought you'd like to know . . . - November 11, 2008 at 1:29 PM

My mom always wrapped with brown paper package wrapping too! She made the most elaborate bows!

The evening of January 22, 2007, on a desert highway near Baghdad, a roadside EFP [Explosive Formed Projectile] exploded under the Humvee that Army Sergeant Michelle Rudzitis was riding in. Rudzitis lost her leg and suffered multiple other injuries. The driver, Army Specialist Brandon Stout of Grand Rapids, was killed in the explosion, as was the Iraqi interpreter, Kevin—a nickname given to him by the soldiers he worked with. The gunner, Army Specialist Derek Gagne of the Upper Peninsula town of Wilson, was also seriously wounded.
Seated at a picnic table at Traverse City's Clinch Park Marina on two sunny Up North afternoons this summer, the Purple Heart recipient and Traverse City resident talked with Traverse, Northern Michigan's Magazine about the trauma of being a veteran and the challenges of building a new life. Sergeant Rudzitis is a member of the 46th Military Police Company, Michigan National Guard. Listen to a recording of the interview.

The text from my friend, Stevie, popped up on my phone. "We made the Hall of Fame! Woo Hoo!!!"
Hello Readers, it's me, Dixie Dew again. There was such an overwhelming response to the column I wrote a few months ago, that I was asked to give y'all an update. For those of you who might be so uninformed as to not know who I am, let me fill you in. I'm the adorable red dachshund who is known and loved by many. My ...
Once I was aboard a riverboat called the American Queen on which I had spent several days cruising along the majestic Mississippi River. I boarded in New Orleans and, along with the other passengers, crawled toward St. Louis.
Let's agree: This will be a new year unlike any other in recent time. Let's each make a vow to do something bold, unexpected and something that will make a fresh imprint on the path of our lives.
If the experts are to be believed, then Christmas seldom lives up to our high expectations, and that's why so many are stricken with depression and gloom during the holidays. It's a letdown after a big buildup.
I guess it had been more than a year that I had been thinking that I wasn't as funny as I used to be. When you make your living with witty observations and entertaining stories, this isn't an asset you want to lose.
Out of the blue one day, I got an email from an old, beloved friend from my NASCAR days. In the days when first I met him, Jim Freeman was the public relations director at the Talladega track. That was when the publicity at all the tracks was run by men, some college educated, some not, who were amicable, back-slapping and well-liked.
When Miss Virgie, my beloved mentor on all things Southern proper, came to visit with her husband, Bill, she lovingly lectured me whenever I fell short.
It's a Thanksgiving tradition, albeit one started accidentally a few years ago. Now, it has become as important as turkey and dressing and cherished as much as the dinner with family and friends.
A couple of years ago, I was in Fayetteville, Ark., having dinner with a few folks including two of the loveliest people I know, Gen and Frank Broyles.
My brother-in-law, Rodney, called me up one day. He's one of my favorite people, and even when I should get mad at him, I never can. He's so charming and funny.
When word filtered out that she was gone - just packed up and disappeared like a vapor in the broad, bright light of day - I found no surprise in it.
Jerry and I were talking the other day. We've known each other since the day I was born, he having entered this earth the day before I did.
In accordance to our weekly routine, we gather at my sister's house every Sunday for dinner following church. Normally, she who does most of the work chooses the menu, but the tradition is that each one of us gets to choose lunch for our birthday.
A while back, after a speaking engagement, I was signing books when a woman somewhere in her 40s I suppose, came through the line. We exchanged courtesies then I handed her books back to her. But she didn't walk away, despite the long line of folks waiting behind her. She looked at me expectantly then leaned a little closer.
It happened recently: The 20th anniversary of the death of stock car racer Davey Allison. Maybe you remember him. Maybe you don't.
Tink had been in Los Angeles for a week so that morning before his plane left LAX, it occurred to me that a good, wifely thing to do would be to welcome him back to the Rondarosa with a home-cooked meal.
If New Year's is a time to regroup and look toward the upcoming year, then Thanksgiving is a time to gather and reflect on the year that has passed.
We had a funeral at church the other day which was not unusual.
She was not a pretty woman in the days of her youth. Her lips were too thin, her forehead too high and her eyes so round they seemed to bulge into the lens of the glasses she wore.
For years, I blamed it on those richly royal blue, suede high-heel pumps. The ones with the ridiculously tall, spiked heel and absurdly pointed toe. I was 22 when I bought them, and 36 when I donated them to the Salvation Army.
The woman looked over the selection of books, picked up four and smiled.

Questions & Answers for Level8 15" WORLD Pro Super Sleeve for MacBook Pro/MacBook Pro with Retina Display
2 Questions from the Community
Many products marketed as fitting MBP 15" with Retina Display are to big for a secure/snug fit. How snug is the fit of this product?
- Asked by Adam R from Columbus
- Dec 17, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerVery snug fit -- essentially perfect, with no play. But make sure you get *this* one. There's a slightly larger version with a shoulder strap which is also labeled as fitting the 15" Retina MBP, but is actually an inch longer and almost an inch wider. I got that version and returned it for this one.

Grab a Button!
Product 209/266
After accepting a job at a rural, private club, Raina Malloy finds herself lured by the amorous though edgy and diverse practices of its manager, Steel Hunter. She soon discovers her predecessor died at the end of a knife, and that Steel's brother, a partner in the BDSM club, is missing.
Somehow, it all appears trite next to the stalking assailant she can't escape. And fairly inconsequential to Hunter's commanding passion, his magnetism or the certainty that she has found something secure and binding in a life that had been shattered and traumatic.
Along the way, Raina discovers a taste for Hunter and his eclectic lifestyle practices. Even as their love unfolds, threatening forces amass around them, and hint at a legacy that neither could have foreseen. A legacy that ends in death.
"Red," he shouted. "Red!"
Eyes enormous, Raina realized she was somewhere she didn't wish to be. She understood the scene, a Dominatrix and her slave. Why in the world did her brother steer her to such a place? Why indeed? The answer emerged like a sword from a sheath, desperation. They needed the medical coverage and from Raina's inquiries, this job supplied it. Her second epiphany was an understanding of where she was. This placed catered to the unusual. Could she separate herself from that reality? Hoping as an artist, she wasn't expected.... She did not finish her thought.
The woman threw her arm back and the leather straps of the flogger connected with the man's thighs. Its crack rippled as he cried out, and again screamed. "Red!"
The word red sounded as if it held purpose. Raina suspected this must be his safe word. The woman purposefully ignored him.
Raina took a step forward even though this was none of her concern. Momentarily she rationalized, that he could be a masochist and might not appreciate Raina interrupting. Should she intrude where she wasn't wanted? Yet it didn't at all seem like he was enjoying himself. Her compassion moved her feet forward. As if to confirm her suspicion, a whimper of despair seeped past the man's white-pursed lips, which was followed by the woman's cruel laugh and harsh words.
"Since when do you have limits, maggot? You are mine and I'll beat you to a pulp if that's my pleasure."
"Red," he cried, this time in a tattered tone. "Please Mistress, no more."
Another blow which appeared harder.
Tears bubbled from pale, blue eyes that rolled back in his red-face.
A sharp snap of leather to flesh echoed in the small chamber, its rip insisting.
Raina didn't have a clue whether there was proper protocol in this situation, or if there was any, but this man was in trouble. She could tell by his sparse breathing and a harsh, choking sound that the man was about to have a seizure. She had seen her brother in this state.
Bursting into the room like an avenging angel, Raina shoved the much larger woman aside with enough force to have her stumble. "Are you out of your mind? He's in trouble."
"How dare you!" the woman roared, her brightly painted lips an effigy of fury. She raised her lash to Raina.
