Gas prices up -- -- 33 straight day that's one of the reason some people want President Obama to approve the Keystone Pipeline.
Which would carry oil from Canada to Texas.
But others are opposed and bimetal activists were in DC over the weekend they're worried that the Keystone Pipeline would increase global warming.
They held a protest on one of the coldest days of the year one of them threatened to use any means necessary to stop the pipeline from happening let's.
What aiming at this after the cut but we will dismantle the pipeline we would like -- by any means necessary for this pipeline to not be built whether that means it strikes.
But -- workers or by any means necessary.
-- saying dismantling physically violation of the law -- any kind of -- terrorism higher.
It depends on the circumstances.
I think if it gets a possibility means necessary we mean by any means necessary we would support it.
I think he means business sent Eric can you explain to us a bit -- increase 33 days in a row.
Why people why it's a personal impact guy and he -- necessary Demi says that this is gonna call stat for more money for -- It was it was -- -- -- -- music with the wind chill minus twenty or something like I mean that's it is.
You have to hand it to them they are pretty dedicated -- -- dividend at least I don't remember at least.
Two occasions where they are -- -- global warming conference and it had to be canceled onetime personal tactical.
All right so here's the deal -- pipeline in February Keystone Pipeline -- bring six or seven or maybe even 800000 barrels of crude oil to be used to -- down there.
That will help because 65% the price of gasoline is is -- input price.
More supply bring the price down.
We really need some more refining capacity what once you get that and more crude oil price will drop.
We need one blend of yes adding up and saying that right now -- -- And we have a hundred blends of gasoline there's no reason -- West Coast -- East Coast when Chicago bland outside Chicago bland it's a summer winter fault line that its absence and he dropped -- pick one -- -- -- By Susan -- -- of bonuses to the industries were imported less oil that we have been -- long time one to.
There -- lack there of their group of to have refiners that are down going through their normal winner.
Change of -- and we lost in the past refinery in New Jersey because sandy.
There is something be said about not being -- to refine oil and getting -- of the of the price is gonna go out.
Thanks address that very quickly it's -- highest price.
For February ninth when nineteenth today behind starting price for a minute ago in history so whatever happens of the summer restarted and I -- I think capacity issue has been one that they've that's been building for about fifteen years so it's not like Washington couldn't deal with -- in some -- get -- To get ahead of it the one thing I wanted to to get -- take on this.
A lot of celebrities that it's true he -- -- -- -- -- deal listen to this aria DOS.
This pipeline is now for the benefit of the American people this pipeline is so that we can start selling to China and other places which and then he would stay -- is creating some jobs and it's about bringing in money but most of that money isn't trickling down to anybody.
-- persuade.
Yes I and you knowing that what people say that dolphins are Smart as humans I always roll my eyes.
That -- -- Rosario Dawson and I go maybe their rights may be -- for -- in Iraq look if you could gain energy from the Hollywood stupid you could Howard this world.
And Mars and Venus.
You're talking about radioactive oil spills on -- and -- will semi sterile and that sounds Shakespearean.
Anyway these morons think this and think our cars could be powered by unicorn.
And he goes about that.
Far down.
Three if we had -- -- we we do have to take dodge to deliver natural gas cars and buses a lot of buses use natural gas to get around we have enormous -- natural gas is no reason we don't put infrastructure and so that -- so.
You're gonna fracking are.
I probably Franklin yeah Lyle don't fret about my job I'd say the -- -- -- -- I -- -- -- that you need to get back to -- do nuclear power.
You got -- that cops say it is someone in it but it that one of the first acts of the new administer the second term.
Would be that he would approve the pipeline do you still think is -- you're worthy of the approved but well if he has that he listens to one of the democratic party's stalwarts he might be persuaded otherwise listen to Al Gore.
Junkies -- signed veins in their fellows -- -- in their arms and legs give out.
Am certain you know we're running now is easy to produce oil so we're going to this is tar sands -- What we get when you get.
-- it doesn't interviewing and it's not a -- Things get really hot air Obama could trick everybody just build Windmills on top of the fracking sites and call that a triumph of clean energy -- every celebrity will buy into this like an idea all over the country -- move it out of the -- but it.
That is she natural guess is good and they didn't admit that got you got -- -- -- situation where the reviews analysts that the state.
Local and it and it's especially federal level.
Is not allowing us to have the potentially could in the jobs to cut and what I hear -- Kimberley and -- and here.
When Al -- speaks about -- -- it seems haven't spoken like a true billionaire has never going to have to worry.
About money for the rest like the people families who are dealing with gas prices up 33 days in a row yet on the earliest day of the season -- those families are worried that people have.
Each time mad justifiably intolerant of -- to mean Obama needs to show the leadership that Bob Beckel believes that he's gonna have and put this through I mean really there isn't a good reason not to just because -- some freaks out there.
An out the one that he made -- -- -- as a trade off is due to carbon tax that Republicans have never gonna put at.
But you know that the fact is that there are there in their natural gas fracking wells -- -- -- now.
Because they can't sell goods to look at all of the precious -- something -- depressed -- you.
Guys were against for acting for the longest time and I might get a -- all Bob Bob nobody gets out -- -- -- -- think yeah.
I don't know Bob Bob but I'm single liberal left -- Against fracking was environmental concern but yeah they -- coming out of your you're -- -- that they're putting it off before the election so Obama wouldn't take off.
The environmentally side and a lot of time.
And your benefit -- -- West Virginia and I learned about it and I think it's a good thing but they aren't the hot hot what I do.
Let's Damon that -- the movie that they've that Hollywood -- helped produce Matt Damon what was called.
As anti fracking spend was just a different documentary that was created as it's called -- nation which I highly recommend because I think a lot of people could be persuaded would be -- it's gonna show one thing.
And a map of the United States there are pipelines that exist in the United States -- bears all the pipelines and it added Keystone Pipeline.
To that and it really is not that much more.
Thank you can see that I actually have very good eyesight and I didn't act don't but trust me whenever it's.
Whenever there's a crisis the media -- -- says.
Women in minorities hit hardest.
You know whether to storm whether it's homelessness but never with oil they never -- -- gas prices hit really high they never say.
You know the poor can't hardly -- the single mom didn't get -- If they don't say that because protesters don't care because the protesters -- or their subsidized by their parent I'm glad neither the women are making message about ego I have purchasing and I like this -- -- -- I had -- -- -- ever have to go -- very bad but this is there that chance was.

Hamza Kashgari
Hamza Kashgari Mohamad Najeeb[1] حمزة كاشغري |
Born | 1989 (age 23–24)[2] |
Nationality | Saudi Arabian |
Occupation | Poet,[3] columnist[4][5] |
Notable credit(s) | al-Bilad Columnist (until Jan 2012)[5] |
Hamza Kashgari Mohamad Najeeb[1] (often Hamza Kashgari, Arabic: حمزة كاشغري; born 1989) is a Saudi poet[3] and a former columnist for the Saudi daily newspaper al-Bilad.[4][5] In 2011, he was on a Mabahith watchlist of pro-democracy activists.[6][7] He became the subject of a controversy after he was accused of insulting the Islamic prophet Muhammad in three short messages published through the Twitter social networking service.[8][9] King Abdullah ordered that Kashgari be arrested "for crossing red lines and denigrating religious beliefs in God and His Prophet". [sic][5] Kashgari left Saudi Arabia, trying to seek political asylum in New Zealand.[8] On February 12, 2012, he was extradited from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, back to Saudi Arabia and a Malaysian High Court injunction against his extradition was issued.[10] Whether Kashgari was deported before or after the issuing of the injunction is disputed between Malaysian authorities and Lawyers for Liberty.[1]
Early career[edit]
Hamza Kashgari worked as a columnist for the Saudi Arabian daily al‑Bilad.[4][5](Al-Bilad Translated it means "The City") On February 7, 2012, Al-Bilad issued a statement saying that they had fired Kashgari five weeks earlier for the "inadequacy of his general views for the approach of the newspaper".[11]
Arab Spring[edit]
Kashgari has publicly supported the Arab Spring,[12] and according to the Malaysian NGO Lawyers for Liberty, he is active in a group supporting the Arab Spring.[7] Lawyers for Liberty and N. Surendran of the Malaysian People's Justice Party stated that Kashgari was monitored by Mabahith in 2011 and that he was "on a Saudi watchlist of young pro-democracy activists who had voiced support for the Arab Spring uprisings".[6][7]
When hundreds of people protested on January 29, 2011 in Jeddah against poor infrastructure after the city was flooded and eleven people died,[13] Kashgari criticised the authorities' response in his public writing for al‑Bilad.[14] Kashgari also "raised questions about the religious police".[14]
Kashgari published an article in al‑Bilad about political prisoners,[15] who constitute one of the major motivations in the 2011–2012 Saudi Arabian protests.[16]
Kashgari made blog posts in support of Syrian uprising activists.[12] In early February 2012, Kashgari's group of activists were prevented by Saudi police from "organizing a series of forums to show solidarity with the Syrian uprising".[6] On February 5, 2012, Kashgari participated in a sit‑in at Nawras Circle in Jeddah calling for the Syria Ambassador in Riyadh to be expelled. He was briefly detained by police.[15]
On the occasion of Mawlid on February 4, 2012,[17] Kashgari published three tweets about an imagined meeting with Muhammad:[8][9]
- On your birthday, I shall not bow to you. I shall not kiss your hand. Rather, I shall shake it as equals do, and smile at you as you smile at me. I shall speak to you as a friend, no more.
- On your birthday, I find you wherever I turn. I will say that I have loved aspects of you, hated others, and could not understand many more.
- On your birthday, I will say that I have loved the rebel in you, that you've always been a source of inspiration to me, and that I do not like the halos of divinity around you. I shall not pray for you.
Kashgari described his intentions in terms of human rights: "I view my actions as part of a process toward freedom. I was demanding my right to practice the most basic human rights—freedom of expression and thought—so nothing was done in vain. I believe I'm just a scapegoat for a larger conflict. There are a lot of people like me in Saudi Arabia who are fighting for their rights."[8]
Kashgari described the status of women's rights in Saudi Arabia by stating that Saudi women "won't go to hell 'because it's impossible to go there twice.'"[18]
The statements resulted in reactions that included over 30,000 tweets regarding the subject,[19] a Facebook group calling for his execution that 26,632 members joined as of February 17, 2012[update],[20] another Facebook group in support of him that over 1,500 members joined as of February 12, 2012[update],[21] and a petition calling for all blasphemy charges against him to be dropped, signed by 7,894 people as of February 17, 2012[update].[20] As of May 22, 2012, the petition has 25,158 signatures.
On February 5, 2012, Saudi cleric Nasser al-Omar called for Kashgari to be tried for apostasy, which is defined as a sin or crime by some religions and states.[8] The majority of Muslim scholars hold to the traditional view that apostasy in Islam is punishable by death or imprisonment until repentance, at least for adult men of sound mind.[22][23] Several contemporary Muslim scholars, including influential Islamic reformers, have rejected this, arguing for religious freedom instead.[24][25] The YouTube video clip of al-Omar demand was watched over 650,000 times in the first three days.[26]
Following Kashgari's controversial tweets, racist comments in reference to his Turkmen family background were made against him on Twitter as "[not being] enough of a 'pure' Saudi".[27]
Kashgari said that he had expected "not even 1 percent" of the reaction it elicited.[8] On February 6, Kashgari issued an apology[28] and deleted his Twitter account, saying that "some like-minded friends have done the same".[8] According to Emirates 24/7, Kashgari's letter of apology[29] was published in many Saudi newspapers.[4]
Saudi Media Minister Abdel Aziz Khoja banned him from writing in any Saudi publication.[8][30] On February 8, The General Presidency of Scholarly Research and Ifta, headed by Saudi Grand Mufti Abdul-Azeez ibn Abdullaah Aal ash-Shaikh, issued a statement calling for Kashgari to be tried.[31][32]
Amnesty International,[2][19] Human Rights Watch,[33] Electronic Frontier Foundation,[34] Freedom House,[35] EveryOne Group,[36] and Front Line Defenders[37] called on the government of Malaysia to release Kashgari and not to extradite him to Saudi Arabia.[2] AI also called him a prisoner of conscience.[2] The European Union condemned his deportation, saying it would "[take] all appropriate steps to achieve a positive outcome of Mr Kashgari's case".[38]
Interpol denied any involvement in Kashgari's case[38][39] after news reports mentioned that Malaysia had arrested and deported him based on an Interpol request.[39] The Ministry of Home Affairs and the Royal Malaysia Police withdrew their claim of Interpol involvement. The Malaysian NGO Lawyers for Liberty stated, "The initial claim of Interpol's involvement was a blatant attempt to varnish the arrest with a veneer of international legitimacy since the arrest could not be justified under international law as Hamza was clearly a political refugee".[6] A Freedom of Information Act request to Interpol in the United States returned no responsive documents related to the case.[40]
In mid-February, the Grand Mufti of Egypt, Ali Gomaa, responded to the calls for Kashgari's execution stating, "We don't kill our sons, we talk to them." He listed "three points before [making] any judgments": verifying what Kashgari "really said", deciding if Kashgari's statements were "a form of misconduct, an expression of doubt, or an actual insult", and "if one repents it should be accepted".[41] On February 12, the Association of British Muslims called for King Abdullah to drop any charges laid against Kashgari, stating "Thought crime is no crime at all...Any state enforced penalty for perceived blasphemy runs contrary to the true spirit of Islam, and of our Prophet, peace be upon him, who was compassionate even to those who scorned him...No one should be legally prosecuted, imprisoned or detained for simply expressing themselves."[42]
On February 13, the Washington Post described King Abdullah's February 10 criticism of President Bashar al-Assad's actions during the 2011–2012 Syrian uprising to be hypocritical in comparison with his order for the prosecution of Kashgari and the killing by Saudi security forces of Muneer al-Midani[43] on February 9 and Zuhair al-Said on February 10[44] in political protests in Qatif.[18]
Kashgari and his lawyers believe that the calls for his execution may be politically motivated, as part of a crackdown on Saudi Arabian activists involved in the Arab Spring.[12]
Exile, arrest, and deportation[edit]
Kashgari stated that he wished to apply for political asylum[8] in New Zealand.[9] On February 7, Al Arabiya online reported that Kashgari had left Saudi Arabia.[45][46] King Abdullah ordered Kashgari's arrest "for crossing red lines and denigrating religious beliefs in God and His Prophet."[5] He was then arrested at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia on February 9.[47][48][49]
On February 10, Kashgari's lawyer, Muhammad Afiq Muhammad Noor, said that the Malaysian police inspector general and Ministry of Home Affairs had received his application for access to Kashgari and had not yet granted access. Malaysia does not have an extradition treaty with Saudi Arabia.[33] Kashgari's lawyers obtained a High Court injunction at 13:30 local time, February 12, ordering "the police, the Home Ministry, as well as the Subang and Kuala Lumpur International Airport immigration authorities to stop Kashgari's deportation".[10] The lawyers were told that Kashgari had already boarded a plane, at 10:00 local time (02:00 UTC).[10] According to Fadiah Nadwa Fikri of Lawyers for Liberty, the court injunction against Kashgari's injunction was granted on February 12 at 13:45 (local time). At around 14:15 to 14:30 at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang), Kashgari's lawyers found that there were no immigration records of Kashgari's departure. At 15:15, they found no immigration records of his departure from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.[1]
Malaysian police spokesman Ramli Yoosuf confirmed that Kashgari had been deported back to Saudi Arabia.[50][51] He was arrested in Riyadh on the "night" of February 12.[52]
Legal cases[edit]
Lawyers for Liberty claimed that Malaysian authorities violated international law by not allowing Kashgari to try to obtain political asylum.[6] Lawyer K. Ragunath and several members of Lawyers for Liberty filed a habeas corpus affidavit against the Inspector-General of Police, the Immigration Director-General, the Home Minister and the federal government of Malaysia, alleging that they had been "misled throughout [Kashgari's] arrest and deportation."[1] Fadiah Nadwa Fikri of Lawyers for Liberty referred to the authorities' initial claim of an Interpol request that was later retracted, an incorrect claim of Kashgari's arrival date in Malaysia, and a claim that Kashgari had been deported "according to a 'long-standing arrangement' [between] Malaysia and Saudia Arabia." She said that no such treaty or official documentation exists.[1] Lawyers for Liberty claimed that no immigration records existed for Kashgari's would-be 10:00 departure on February 12.[1]
Saudi Arabia[edit]
According to Arab News, Kashgari will be charged by Saudi Arabian judicial authorities with blasphemy.[52] Human Rights Watch believes that he is to be charged with apostasy and that he has already been declared by Saudi religious authorities to be guilty of apostasy prior to trial.[53] In August 2012, Kashgari's family published a poem by him in which he apologized for the offense he had caused, and they asked publicly for his release, a common practice during Eid Al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of Ramadan. He was not released.[54] Kashgari tweeted about his sudden release on Oct 29, 2013 saying "Mornings of hope...souls that live and never die. Thanks to God." Kashgari's lawyer, Abdulrahman Allahim, congratuated him being released There has been no comment from the Saudi government.[55]
Personal life[edit]
According to Gulf News, Kashgari was born to a family of Uyghur ancestry, which had emigrated from Kashgar, China.[27][56]

The Final Week Push
September 23rd, 2013 | by Ray Flowers |
It's the final week of the fantasy baseball season. With that, the final kick for the finish line is in full effect. It's time to dig in and sprint, as fast as you can, for the tape. Here are some guys that don't have big names but are surging as the season nears it's conclusion. Maybe they can help you to hoist that championship trophy.
The Red Sox only play five games this week.
Teams that have made the playoffs are very likely to rest players, an even if it's just for one game, that can make the difference.
Young pitchers are likely to have their starts cut short if any problems arise during the start. Teams don't want to extend young arms at the end of the season.
Two-start hurlers this week just might end up being 1-time starters.
Be hyper-vigilant with your lineups this week.
Charlie Blackmon leads baseball the past two weeks with a .433 batting average. He's been pounding out the extra base hits with a homer, a triple and seven doubles. He's also driven in eight runs while scoring nine times. I added him in a couple of leagues.
Gregor Blanco is batting .267 with three homers and 13 steals this season. Blah city. However, he's been a star in Sept batting .413 with a .491 OBP and .969 OPS over 17 games. I know, right? He's also scored seven runs while swiping two bags (too bad he's been caught three times).
Cesar Hernandez is a middle infielder on the Phillies. He's also hit .308 with a .370 PBP over 27 big league games, and the last 10 games he's played he's produce 14 hits. Yeah, who knew? He doesn't have a homer or steal though, so it's really all about average and runs (10 runs in those 10 games as well).
Elliot Johnson is batting .203 with a .515 OPS. He's a pathetic, over matched hitter. No way around that. However, he's also a strong source of stolen bases, and he's rolling right now. He's swiped six bases in his last 15 games, and look at that, he's even hitting .271 in September.
Ed Lucas is batting .254 with four homers and one steal in 331 at-bats. But like others here, he's rolling now. In his last nine game he's had at least two hits six times. He's hitting .328 over his last 17 games albeit with one homer and no steals.
Danny Valencia is batting .364 against lefties (88 at-bats). He's batting .404 at home (57 at-bats). He's hitting .353 since the All-Star break (85 at-bats). He's hitting .328 in September (58 at-bats). That's a whole lot of good.
Robbie Erlin of the Padres allowed nine runs on July 7th and that earned him a trip back to the minors. Since being recalled he's made four starts an in that time he's allowed a total of five earned runs. He only has one scheduled start against the Diamondbacks this week. Teammate's Eric Stults and Tyson Ross are set up for two outings each against the D'backs and Giants.
Brandon McCarthy is set to start against the Padres in San Diego and in Washington against the Nationals. If he makes those two starts he's a solid option this week, especially since he's gone at least six innings in each of his last five outings while allowing a total of 10 earned runs.
Charlie Morton is lined up to make two starts, both on the road, versus the Cubs and Reds. One solid matchup and one spotty one. He hasn't exactly killed it on the road this season (3.88 ERA, 1.41 WHIP), but he does have a 1.29 WHIP and 3.19 ERA over his last 10 starts.
Todd Redmond's last four starts have been impressive. In those four outings he's walked five batters, struck out 23 and won three games. Oh yeah, he's also allowed only seven earned runs. He's set to make two starts for the Jays this week. He's only owned in one percent of Fleaflicker leagues.
Yordano Ventura is scheduled to take the bump twice. The youngster throws mid to high 90′s, and in his first outing in the bigs he held the Indians to one run over 5.2 innings. Always tough to trust a rookie in the final week of the season, especially when he's only got 5.2 innings under his belt, but this kid has a dynamic wing.

Release Details
LABEL Alternative Tentacles RecordsRELEASED ON 8/21/2007
GENRES Stoner,Hardcore,Noise
Navigating The Bronze
Though this band has been pumping out about an album per year since 2001, I didn't hear of Akimbo until they made the jump to Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label in 2006, and never actually managed to sit down and listen to the band until their debut Harshing Your Mellow was re-released earlier this year. I don't know what took me so long; not only do I generally enjoy most of the Alternative Tentacles stable, but this latest album was produced by Chris Owens of excellent Louisville, KT band Lords. Like Lords, Akimbo fuses fiery Black Flag-esque punk rock with the mathy dissonance associated with mid-nineties noise rock of the Amphetamine Reptile variety. But where Lords channel this blend through raging semi-grindcore structures, Akimbo coat it in a layer of heaving, Black Sabbath-fed rawk'n'roll. It's not the most wildly inventive take on the hardcore genre out there, but as Navigating the Bronze demonstrates, it's loud as fuck and a pretty fun listen to boot.
Most people don't realize that it actually takes a good deal of instrumental skill to play like you're out of control without actually losing control, and these guys are a great example. Opener "You Can Smell The Honey" flails its way out of the gates in a seething battery acid frenzy, seemingly inches away from implosion, before snapping into a neck-wrecker of a groove—and is that a Slayer riff I hear before the skittering guitar solo? Follow-up "Wizard Van Wizard" is even more bombastic, as fresh guitarist Aaron Walters and drummer Nat Damm's riotous solos tumble all over each other before landing neatly in a Sabbath stomp. From there the album breaks into a more even stride; "Dungeon Bastard," "Huge Muscles," and "Lungless" are all glitchy, groove-driven riff romps that are more viscerally effective than they are catchy, but still get the job done. Amidst them is the huge Bonhamesque drum solo "Roman Coins," which proves that Damm has more than enough in the way of technical chops. The flow of gritty guitar beatings and bassist Jon Weisnewski's strained hollers doesn't let up until the more subdued and melodic (but still crushing) trudge of "Hiding in Paper." Navigating the Bronze closes up with the bristling lope of "The Curse of King David" and the slightly overlong sludge finisher "Stjernborg."
Some fun humorous touches (the song titles and the totally awesome cover art) and a painstakingly analog production are icing on this gnarly rock cake. I have to say, I'm not as blown away by this album as I'd hoped—there's a little less raging punk vehemence and a little more big-ol'-riff type material than I would've liked, but anyone who likes their hardcore a little weird and very in touch with its rock roots will probably dig Akimbo.

Roberto Rosa first discovered his love of cooking at age 13, when he began learning recipes from his grandmother Antonia. Two decades later, the owner of Antonia's Cucina Italiana shares his love of all Italian fare, transforming chicken, seafood, veal, and house-made pasta into colorful dishes during lunch and dinner. Across the three locations, décor and amenities vary, from outdoor seating to exposed brick walls and checkered floors where diners can settle arguments over who pays the bill with games of human chess.
Leaping flames illuminate hibachi chefs' faces as they sear steak, chicken, and seafood in the kitchen of Nikko Sushi & Steak, a Houston eatery whose menu centers on the triad of sushi, steak, and sake. Signature house rolls, such as the spicy baked crawfish roll topped with crabstick, complement sashimi and udon noodles in clear broth. Meats such as tender rib eye and new york strip steak give the menu an American twist without printing it on the Liberty Bell. While they await their dinners, diners cozy up in plush red booths curtained for privacy, sit at traditional tables, or pull up stools to the bar illuminated by hanging lights evocative of traditional paper lanterns.
Inside the kitchen at Katy Cajun, bouquets of spices patiently wait their turns, ready to unleash waves of fragrant bayou flavors throughout traditional Cajun eats from seafood gumbo and dirty rice to étouffée replete with crawfish. In addition to serving as a secret ingredient in the dishes themselves, the spices also add complexity to all of the restaurant's house-made dressings and sauces, including the Louis sauce that appears on po' boys with oysters or shrimp. From the laid-back comfort of a dining room accented with exposed brick and quaint arched windows, diners discover the flavors for themselves, tearing into Louisiana mainstays including plates of fried catfish and blackened soft shell crab arranged in the shape of Huey Long's silhouette.
La Generala Mexican Grill & Cantina's chefs create a menu of authentic Mexican specialties, including favorites such as burritos and tacos with a Texan spin. Enchiladas are top sellers—try the ones that come smothered in red sauce and cecina (thinly sliced, grilled steak)—as are the fajitas, which feature beef, chicken, and shrimp. When the weather's nice, you can take your meal and margarita to the outdoor patio. There's a soccer field next to the eatery and a playground, too, making La Generala a fun place to bring the kids or David Beckham.
With traditional dinner and lunch menus chock-full of seafood, poultry, and meat plates, Las Alamedas quells a litany of cravings in an elegant dining room. In the fajita prime-sliced entrée ($16 for lunch; $20 for dinner), slices of mesquite-grilled beef mingle with onions and poblano peppers on a plate flanked by guacamole, pico de gallo, charro beans, and flour tortillas that can be used to smuggle bottles of hot sauce out of the restaurant. A serving of camarones Cozumel fills bellies with coconut pan-fried shrimp, a habanero and mango dipping sauce, and a side of potatoes ($18 for lunch; $24 for dinner), while the robalo chileno coats a serving of sea bass in herbs and sundried-tomato sauce ($27; dinner only). The vegetarian plate accommodates meat-free diets, slinging spinach-and-cheese enchiladas with grilled vegetables, rice, and guacamole ($15, dinner only) . Though the high ceilings and elegant arched doorways might tempt diners to stay indoors, Las Alamedas offers patio seating for those who want to breathe fresh air or make fake mustaches out of plant life.
Kenzo Sushi Bistro's crafty culinary mariners serve up a fresh, creative menu culled and rolled from the fruits of the sea and much more. Commence the noshery with a hot appetizer such as the succulent scallop butteryaki ($9) or the well-behaved seven-spice calamari ($9), and cool off your tongue with cold starters such as fresh salmon ceviche ($9). Seafarers can sample the cougar roll, a zesty fusion of spicy tuna, cucumber, avocado, and ponzu sauce, or up their bandwidth with a colorful collection of seaweed tubes such as sushi combo A ($16), which includes a luscious LAN party of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and more. Stop by during lunch hour for Kenzo's bento boxes, which pack a wallet-friendly wallop of a veggie roll, gyozo, four-piece California roll, steamed rice, and your choice of entree ($7–$8).

From the Romance and Bridal Issue -- an interview with dressmaker Shaline Kirkpatrick
On most mornings, tiny handprints smudge the display window and front door of Shaline Bridal [1]. Little girls, says owner Shaline Kirkpatrick, are fascinated by bridal gowns — the daily deposit of fingerprints is proof, and she's happy to see them at her Montpelier shop.
"There are people [with] the whole Cinderella attitude, who want the dress of their dreams," Kirkpatrick says in a lilting Canadian accent. "They drop their jaws when they walk in. I have some people come in and say, 'I don't care what it costs. This is what I want.' I have mothers that come in, dads, who say, 'She's my little princess. Whatever she wants, she can have."
Kirkpatrick, 37, has plenty to offer brides-to-be, from custom-designed gowns to off-the-rack models in various styles she's created over the years — nearly a dozen are pictured on her website [1]. (She recently added a line of Winnie Couture bridal wear to her own collection.) Her stock models usually require some alteration, and Kirkpatrick has learned over the years not to clip the inside seams. "I can get almost 2 extra inches," she says. If those additional inches aren't enough to make the dress fit, she'll just copy it in a larger size.
Elaborate beadwork and embroidery are Kirkpatrick's hallmarks. She's known for her ability to work with clients to design a unique gown, and for her sense of which styles work best with a particular body shape.
Kirkpatrick is good at putting her sometimes-anxious customers at ease, and that's apparent in her State Street shop. Fittingly, the place is virtually all white and decorated with bridal accessories. It's light and airy, enhanced by classical music playing softly in the background.
Last June, Shaline Bridal had a grand opening in its current location, but Kirkpatrick hasn't always been so visible. After moving to Montpelier in 1999, she worked first from her home, and then from a second-floor shop at the Capitol Plaza Hotel. This is her first street-level business, and having a display window has been a boon. "The very first dress I had in the window, which took a long time to make, I thought would stay for a while," she says. The $3000 gown sold within a few days.
Kirkpatrick learned sewing from her mother during her childhood in a small town outside Ottawa. She also became adept at embroidery and other handwork. Stitching remained a hobby in her teenage years — enamored of Laura Ashley, she decorated her bedroom with flowing, billowy curtains she made herself.
Kirkpatrick's real passion in high school was the flute: She aspired to play in an orchestra. But breaking two fingers in a soccer game put an end to concert dreams and launched her in a different direction. Kirkpatrick applied to several colleges, contemplating an industrial design major, but ended up enrolled in L'Académie des Couturiers Canadiens in Ottawa. She's been designing, sewing and altering bridal gowns ever since.
In 1990, when Kirkpatrick finished the two-year program, she returned to her hometown and found a new bridal shop opening. "That was totally coincidental," she says. "I walked in and said, 'If you ever need anybody to do alterations, give me a call." That call came within the week, and Kirkpatrick began nipping and tucking gowns on a contract basis under her own business name, Shaline.
Alteration is a labor-intensive business. Kirkpatrick would go to the bridal shop, fit the brides, pin them, and take the dresses back to her studio to sew. "We would have over a thousand dresses come through the shop a year," she recalls. "I would have six weddings a weekend — each with a wedding gown and three or four bridesmaids." by 1995, she had three employees to keep up with the work. "A simple hemline could take an hour or hour and a half," she says. "Fittings alone, almost four hours."
Kirkpatrick notes that Canadians tend to make the process a little less hectic by planning their weddings a year in advance. "If you get engaged in April, you get married the following April. Here, it's usually three to six months."
Brides set the pace of the custom-gown business at Shaline Bridal. Normally it takes Kirkpatrick three months to produce a wedding dress, which starts at around $1200. (Off-the-rack gowns start at $750.) Multiple fittings are needed before the walk down the aisle, she says, explaining diplomatically: "When people get stressed out, they do [one of] two things. They eat a lot, or they don't eat at all."
Consultation is a key part of the process, and Kirkpatrick can spend as long as two and a half hours with a client — she locks the front door and wards off foot traffic with a sign reading, "Fitting in progress, please come back again." Later, she mails the client a proposal with sketches, ideas and fabric options. Some prospective brides end up buying; some don't.
But none of these sessions is wasted, according to Kirkpatrick. "This is the way I would want to have been treated," she says. "That person may not buy a dress from you, but they go back to work and tell a coworker, 'I had this amazing consultation. She made me feel so special.'"
And special is what weddings are all about, she adds. But they can also be stressful, and Kirkpatrick has plenty of experience in the art of soothing pre-bridal nerves. "The whole experience here is to relax and enjoy your dress fitting," she emphasizes. After all, a wedding "is supposed to be one of the most wonderful days of your life."
Has she fielded any unusual requests in her two decades of designing gowns? Some have been interesting, Kirkpatrick concedes. One custom job featured a plunging V-neck that was meant to highlight the bride's bejeweled bellybutton. The back took an equally revealing plunge. Because it had no straps, the whole affair had to be affixed to the bride's body with duct tape. "This was in the days before body tape," she says.
"Some people will come in and ask for a design. I'll say, 'OK. How are you going to get into that?'" Kirkpatrick remembers one woman who wanted no zippers of any kind. She had to sew the bride into her gown at the wedding and cut her out after the service.
The most expensive gown she ever made started out at $7000 and ended up at a whopping $12,500. It featured an Elizabethan collar that had to be braced on the bride's shoulders with poles.
Kirkpatrick's most memorable dress, though, may be the one a bride and her sister brought in for cleaning and preservation, a service Shaline Bridal also offers. "It was raining the day of her wedding, and [the dress] was covered in mud," she remembers. What's more, the bride wore this dress on her wedding night. "She loved her dress so much that she kept it on," Kirkpatrick says. "I think that's awesome."
After all these years, Kirkpatrick is still passionate about designing beautiful gowns. At least one of her customers is just as passionate about her . . . and more committed to Shaline Bridal, apparently, than she has been to marriage.
"I have a customer, a three-time bride, who has had me make her three different gowns," explains Kirkpatrick. "I said, 'Maybe you should go get a different dressmaker.' She said, 'Are you kidding? As soon as I get engaged, I know where I'm going.'"

Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evening, morning, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?

I've had a Central Axis file server for 6 Months. Recently it stopped working. It is worth the cost of a replacement for me to get the data off the drive if it happens to be readably on my pc directly.
The symptoms are:
1. power on.
2. Power light=on Activity light=off Drive Status Light=blinking steadily
3. After 5 seconds: Drive spins up, followd by Activity light flashing randomly.
4. After 10 seconds: Activity light stops, Drive status light(s): solid red, plus steady blinking white.
I took the drive apart. It was fairly difficult, but didn't take too long.
I installed the drive in my computer directly (running Vista). I ran two different Linux EXT2/3 drive mounting programs, and mounted the drive read-only.
I was able to see folders, and copy data from the drive... for a bit.
After about 700 meg, the drive stops working. This is very repeatable. I shut down my computer, start it up. Can copy files, and after a short bit (not heat realated) It fails.
This symptom seems similar to what I've been hearing with the genaral 1TB drive firmware problem. I understand that the problem has to do with the corruption of some data in an area of the drive where the drive stores status information. It loops through this finite space, and once it gets to the end, begins again at the beginning. Since the failure I'm seeing seems to be realated to how much I use the drive, and not how long it's been powered on, nor how warm it is, I'm thinking it is similar the the issues people have had with standalone units.
So the point of my post.
a. has anyone experience similar problems.
b. has someone discovered a workaround.
c. is it likely that if I send it in for a replacement, i'll get a unit with a similar problem.
d. are my observations completely wrong, and why.
The model of drive installed is a Barracuda 7200.11, ST31000340AS, P/N98X158-568
The firmware is D81

I've had the exact same behavior with two out of three Central Axes that I've bought--at least as far as the red solid plus white blinking status light. I found some documentation about the status lights, but it doesn't cover this case.
I haven't gone to the trouble of removing the drive yet. I'm wondering if I might be able to install the drive from one of the "dead" enclosures in the enclosure that seems to be still working to access the data.
Anyone ever tried? Any help would be much appreciated as the data on the drives is valuable to me.
I have had 3 Shared Storage 2TB drives fail, all within one week of having them. Then, they sent me a Cental Axis Business to replace the last Shared Storage. Within 2 days, same problem as you are having. I am 0 for 4 with them. I paid $800 for the Shared Storage last summer - I"m writing it all off as I've spent more hours trying to make it work than its worth. Zero for 4? Come on.
BTW-in all my cases, the issue has been the 'one white blink plus 4 red light blinks', meaning the controller is not working and is not repairable by me (per support).
Yes, that is the same unit - mine is a 2TB unit. Seagate Tech Support just had me send the unit back to them for a specific review of the product by someone on their end and is having a new unit shipped to them for verfication that it works prior to sending back out to me.
The support team was very nice on the telephone, but they still claim that they are not aware of this problem and seem genuinely surprised at it - even though there are quite a few forum listings of similar problems. We'll see how the next one works. Unfortunately, even if it does work, I've lost trust in using it as my #1 backup, so I will purchase another drive for primary backup duty.
I had these exact problems, and called support. My immediate problem was that I had saved everything to my Maxtor Cantral Axis drive prior to a reformat and XP reinstall of my main drive, and the Central Axis drive failed with the flashing red LED during the re-load. I called technical support on June 6, 2009 and was told (1) my drive would not be repaired, but I could get a warranty replacment and that (2) in response to my question about security, that once it was repaired the drive would be wiped to government standards (3) the flashing red LED was not a known failure message. Having read Axis' post here, as well as the post by everest at http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/message?board.
More troubling, by far, was what I saw during the disassembly procedure. It is obvious why these drives fail, and the fingerprints of the design process are all over this unit. The device's design did not consider thermal issues until late in the design process. The thermal management arrangement is pathetic (I will not describe it - despite its shortcomings, it is clearly MAXTOR proprietary) This might have been adequate if the device had had its advertised sleep mode, but with the drive's running constantly, the thermal management system rapidly came to thermal equilibrium with the drive and was of no further benefit. Based upon my expetience (18 years) in reliability and design, every consumer of this product can expect to have to exercise the warranty provisions. From my (admittedly) inaccurate assessment of the system temperature, just by holding it when there is no (intentional) disk activity at all, I estimate the temperature inside the case to be approximately 65C. Several of the components (whose max temperature I checked) on the interface board are rated at only 55C. The constant failure rate portion of the lifetime curve increases exponentially with temperature. This is why these devices are failing. The airflow through the bottom is constricted. There is less than half a millimeter of clearance between the bottom of the unit and its vents. This unit had much of its thermal management inserted very late in the process, probably to meet a shipment schedule. This product really had no chance at all.
The internal drive has been working flawlessly since freed from its literal infernal housing. You will violate the warranty when you crack it open to salvage the drive (and your data), but the option is to return it for a brand new drive. Do you really want to replace a failed drive with one which has the exact same problems? That you must decide for yourself.
In a nutshell, it apprears that although many people have complained about this failure symptom (continuous flashing exclamation point LED), that support has never heard of it. I am being charitible in suspecting that this is because it is the interface board which has failed, and that support's 8 x 11" checklist simply doesn't have that listed. However, I can state that by cracking the drive's case, I was able to recover ALL of my data from this poorly-designed device and I managed to salvage the internal drive (which has been reformatted to NTFS and is now used as a second backup).
To be fair . . .
I had claimed 100% recovery of my data, but I ran a checksum on all of the recovered data I mentioned in my last post. There were a total of 8 files that were not recovered with unchanged checksums. All were images, and, of course, they are really messed up. Now I am looking for an application that can adjust the data in a .jpg image to kill the corrupt portion - they were my daughters' dance recital photos.
I bought this drive at Staples 2 months ago and it failed in this way. It was making clicking sounds for a week before it showed a flashing light. I called technical support from their website and they would only replace the drive - not repair. After reading the posts, I disassembled the drive, and it was as easy as the postings said. It took me about twenty minutes with two screwdrivers. There were two metal blocks which I couldn't figure if I needed, but they were attatched to the casing that was holding the actual drive. I put this drive into my computer and I was able to get data out with Explore2FS. Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the problem I have is I can recover 5-10 GB of data (varies) before the Explore2FS crashes and requires a rteboot. The drive just isn't there anymore. I can't get the whole thing back in one operation. What dio I do? Do I reboot 100 times?
Has anyone had this problem?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Denise Marzullo has a shelf full of books devoted to fundraising. She says that's how her agency Mental Health America of Northeast Florida affords to get by.
"When it comes to the priority and the value that's placed on mental health funding, there aren't too many counties that are lower than us," Marzullo said.
Over the past three years, Florida has cut $34 million from its mental health budget. Florida now ranks next to last in the nation for mental health funding and Northeast Florida is getting the smallest slice of that tiny state pie. The budget for Duval, Clay, and Nassau counties falls about $15 million.
"It hasn't been our priority," said Marzullo of the state.
But that may soon change.
The tragedy in Newtown has brought mental health issues to light. State lawmakers are hearing this week from experts warning them the way we are now just isn't safe.
"When you look at the community, there's a lot more violence because of untreated mental illness," said Marzullo.
And she hopes lawmakers realize they can't wait for another calamity to act.
"If we don't provide treatment for them at a preventative level, we could easily have the type of tragedy that happened at Sandy Hook Elementary," said Marzullo.
According to Mental Health America, for every dollar that's spent on inpatient residential psychiatric care, 99 cents of that could be saved if we put that money toward preventative care.
Florida spends $723 million a year on mental health.

Hey! I cannot find the switch to close the calendar. When I click on Visited: 321 days, 3 consecutive, it pop ups the calendar. But I cannot close it. (Is refresh the only way to close it?)
There isn't any - the only way to get rid of it is to refresh or navigate to a different page. As with other things which might be considered minor annoyances, the easiest way to get this functionality is to write a GreaseMonkey script for it. | |||||||||||||
As Piskvor has said there isn't a built in way to do this but if you copy this JavaScript to your toolbar it will close the calendar for you.

When to brush your teeth
When and how often should you brush your teeth?
from Alan Carr, D.M.D.
The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth at least twice a day.
When you brush your teeth, you help remove food and plaque — a sticky film that forms on your teeth and contains bacteria. After you eat a meal or snack that contains sugar, the bacteria can release acids that attack tooth enamel. Repeated attacks can break down tooth enamel and lead to cavities. Plaque that isn't removed also can harden into tartar, making it harder to keep teeth clean.
In choosing when to brush your teeth, you might also consider your diet. If you've eaten an acidic food or drink, avoid brushing your teeth for at least 30 minutes. These acids weaken tooth enamel, and brushing too soon can remove enamel. If you know you're going to eat or drink something acidic, brush your teeth beforehand.
In addition to brushing your teeth, the American Dental Association recommends that you:
- Floss daily
- Eat a healthy diet and limit between-meal snacks
- Replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed
- Schedule regular dental checkups

The full Cincinnati Council has formally approved the 2013 city budget.
Most of the votes were 6-3…with Qualls, Young, Quinlivan, Seelbach, Simpson and Thomas voting yes and Sittenfeld, Smitherman and Winburn voting no.
Council didn't vote Friday to approve leasing the operation of some city parking facilities to a private company.
By mid-January Cincinnati City Council must decide how much property tax money it wants to collect for the 2014 budget year. The vote will come as the body works to finalize next year's spending plan.The rate must be set earlier because the city is changing from a calendar year budget to a fiscal one. For the last decade Council has been holding the amount of property tax revenue collected steady or slightly reducing it. A Council Member asked Budget Director Lea Eriksen this week what that's meant for the city.

Jeff-Net Report Runner Batch is an
automated report distribution tool for Crystal Reports
. JNRRB works with all versions of Crystal Reports. It makes it possible to automatically run multiple reports on a regularly scheduled basis, all without user interaction. These reports can be printed, FTP'd, posted on a server, faxed, SMS'd, emailed, and even posted to Twitter. They can be exported in most any format that Crystal Reports supports such as Acrobat PDF.
Scheduling is done with our built-in scheduler (that "talks" with Windows Scheduler). This allows you to
time-based report automation
on various days, dates, and times. More advanced event-based report processing is also possible. Just contact us to find out how!
For an added bit of automation, Report Runner Batch can do
batches as well. Bursting allows for using one single report to output (burst) to file names or email addresses based on the group header (GH1) values. For example, you could create an invoice report that bursts invoices to customers daily, for customers who purchased from you on that day. You would just group the invoice on the invoice number, then place the customers email address within that same group (it can even be hidden). The batch will separate each invoice and email it to the customer's email address. It's actually that simple to set up. Additionally, our bursting feature also enables automated email letters and HTML-formatted newsletters.
Did you know that Report Runner Batch can
automatically archive
your Crystal Reports output? Simply set up your archive folder and easily tell Report Runner Batch to archive your report output for any batch jobs. Imagine being able to automatically email invoices and statements to your customers and automatically saving a copy in a customers folder. We've made Crystal Reports archiving easy!
Report Runner Batch pays for itself
. Want to figure out how Report Runner Batch will pay for itself? Figure out how much time per day is spent running and distributing reports. For most companies, it's at least one hour, sometimes more. Multiply that by their hourly rate and you can see how much you're spending per month to do report distribution. Two hours per day, 30 days, let's say $20/hour, and you get $1200 per month in report distribution savings. Even our Enterprise version would pay for itself within 3 months!

Crystal Reports distributor (CRD) you are looking for! Our RRB vs your CRD methods? Our RRB is clearly better than your CRD methods!
