DIY Nutcracker Wall Art
December 3, 2013 By Rebecca @ The Crafted Sparrow 2 Comments
Hello friends. Have you decked the halls yet for Christmas? I am almost finished. Today I am sharing my DIY Nutcracker Silhouette Wall Art with you. I made these for my son since he begs every year for a new nutcracker. I'm not a huge fan of the traditional nutcrackers, so this was my compromise. I love how they turned out, and they have become a permanent part of our Christmas decor. They are an easy project, you might even have some supplies already lying around the house. Supplies: - Canvas or Wood - Acrylic Paint (white & whatever color you want your silhouette to be) - Paint Brushes, 1 medium & 1 small - A Nutcracker Silhouette (blown up, printed, and cut out) - Scissors & a Pencil I used similar images to these three Nutcracker 1, Nutcracker 2, Nutcracker 3 found by doing a google search for Nutcracker Silhouettes. I then saved the images … [Read More...]

Rondo out with sprained ankle
The Boston Celtics will be without Rajon Rondo for tonight's game against the Brooklyn Nets after the guard suffered a sprained ankle in the third quarter of the Celtics win against the Utah Jazz Wednesday.
Head coach Doc Rivers had this to say regarding the injury:
""I have no idea. With sprained ankles, tomorrow you'll know more. He's not going to play all 82, I doubt. It'd be nice. You know, how I think, guys, the next guy, just somebody has to step up and we have to figure it out."
On the season, Rondo has averaged 14.3 points per game and a league leading 12.5 assists per game.

This Hotel does not pass on any aspect of the hospitality trade.

Did you mean?
Hello,We are two traveling to Beijing and we plan to go to the great wall (Mutianyu section or jinshanling). We want to hire a private car for the day to leave early and avoid the crowd. We can go either on the 19th dec or 20th dec. We are looking for anyone who wants to join us to share the costs. If you are interested do not hesitate to contact me. The cost is around 600 rmb for the day.Diane
For university I am allowed to go on a short trip to Beijing from the 6th to the 14th of December. Are there any interesting educational experiences I could have? I am open to anything realy.
There is one limit though. I am only allowed to go in order to visit a one-time opportunity. For example a museum is not allowed, but a speech is.
It could be about anything. IT would be preferable, but social issues or science would be great too.
Does anybody know whether there is an upcoming event I should visit? I would greatly appreciate your help!
Hi Im Aizul from Malaysia and coming to Beijing this 30 December 2013, My flight arrival in Beijing Capital Airport around 1.30am on 31 December 2013... So how the best way to I take the transportation from the airport to the hotel?? Need your advise about that... Thanks :)
Where could I buy a simcard in beijing and if i would like to get a plan wherein I can access internet which service provider in beijing would be good?
Dear VTers, I recently recommended Alvin of Beijing to be the tour guide of my best friend who will be traveling to Beijing with ther family some time December. Unfortunately, due to the terror attack in Tiananmen last October, Alvin was critically hurt and cannot assist my friend. I am asking my fellow VTers for 2 things:1. For those who believe in prayers, pls pray for Alvin's speedy recovery. He broke ribs and pelvis. He cannot breathe well and is currently confined at Beijing Orthopedic Hospital. Will not post pictures here so as not to offend others who may find his hurt pictures a bit delicate to look at.2. Need your recommendation for another reliable tour guide who can provide van+driver only. My friend does not need tour packages at this point, just a van+driver. Please help. Please send contact details, too.
Thanks in advance.

Here's what we do know - Obama is the President. He is your President, he is my President. He is everybody's President. If he governs in a fashion you do not agree with, it doesn't mean he doesn't represent you, it means he is leading in the fashion he sees fit. If he seems divisive, it's probably because he is dealing with an intractable force that showed from day one they were not going to negotiate in good faith on anything.
Obama is not perfect but he is a remarkably good politician, and now that he has been given carte blanche to proceed with a second-term win, I anticipate he will step on the opposition's neck and break it if necessary to minimize some of the resistance that plagued his first term and kept him from achieving his goals. "Politics ain't beanbag," as another famous Chicagoan used to say.
Amen. Very well put!!

If you would like to request collision data complete the Request for Collision Data form (pursuant to Public Information Release of Collision Data Policy Statement P 2021.00)(pdf 492 kb). You may complete the report online (See Instructions below), then mail to:
Collision Data and Analysis Branch
PO Box 47381
Olympia, WA 98504-7381
Fax: (360) 570-2449
Email: email@example.com
The collision data includes:
Under Section 409 of Title 23 of the United States Code, any collision data furnished is prohibited from use in any litigation against state, tribal or local government that involves the location(s) mentioned in the collision data.
Yes. WSDOT maintains records for collisions on all public roadways in the state. This includes Interstate highways, US highways, State highways, county roads and city streets.
There are no restrictions on who can request the data.
Records for collisions occuring on Interstate, US or State highways are available from 1998 to present, while data for county road and city street collisions are available from 2001 to the present.
The Police Traffic Collision Report (PTCR) submitted by officers and the Vehicle Collision Report (VCR) submitted by citizens were both used as the source data for many years. The PTCR was normally the source of approximately 90% of the finalized collision records with the remaining approximate 10% attributed to the VCR. However, effective January 1, 2009, only the PTCR is used for the reporting of collision data; reports submitted by citizens are no longer used.
Please provide as much information as possible describing the location for which you want the collision data. This could be a specific intersection or stretch of roadway, or a larger area, such as all collisions within a city or county. In addition, if there are any special factors you wish to use to limit the search, such as only collisions involving alcohol, these factors need to be included in your request. Finally, please provide your complete address and phone number so that we may contact you if we need additional clarification to fulfill your request.
In areas where you supply text, click on the line where you would like to fill in the information. A cursor will appear. When the cursor is blinking, start typing.
When you are done filling in a field, click the tab button to move to the next field.
In an area where you would normally place check marks, place your cursor over the area and a pointer (hand with pointed finger) will appear. A single mouse click will place a check mark in the check box. If you click the check box again, the check mark will disappear.

Looking for '47 Percent,' Mitt? Check red states and elderly Republicans
While Mitt Romney may well wish he had expressed himself more "elegantly" at the swanky Boca Raton fundraiser where he denounced half the voting population as shiftless, government-entitled moochers, he isn't backing away from those secretly recorded remarks — although what he said was entirely inaccurate.
Watching him on video, the Republican nominee sounds not only vulgar and arrogant, but profoundly ignorant about the nation he hopes to govern. "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," said the Republican nominee, who proceeded to describe them.
"All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government ... Those people," he went on, "believe that they are victims ... believe the government has a responsibility to care for them ... believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it."

NVIDIA Corporation, in conjunction with the world's leading content developers, display manufacturers, and PC OEMs and system builders, is pleased to announce NVIDIA 3D Vision for GeForce, the world's first high-definition 3D stereo solution for the home. Forming the foundation for a new consumer 3D stereo ecosystem for gaming and home entertainment PCs, 3D Vision is a combination of high-tech wireless glasses, a high-power IR emitter and advanced software that automatically transforms hundreds of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D experiences. Designed to work with the new pure Samsung and ViewSonic 120Hz LCD monitors, Mitsubishi DLP HDTVs, and the DepthQ HD 3D Projector by Lightspeed Design, Inc, 3D Vision unlocks crystal-clear, flicker-free 3D stereo imagery perfect for driving new experiences in 3D gaming, 3D movies, and 3D photography. "Along with gaming innovations in Microsoft Windows and DirectX, NVIDIA 3D Vision proves there's never been a better time to be a PC gamer," said Corey Rosemond, group marketing manager, Windows Gaming. "By including support for previously released and upcoming Games for Windows and Games for Windows -- LIVE titles, PC gamers can expect a new level of immersion in full stereoscopic 3D, and enjoy broad support for the hottest games." Powered by NVIDIA GeForce GPUs, the number one choice of gamers worldwide, 3D Vision is the world's highest quality stereoscopic 3D consumer solution, consisting of: High-Tech, Wireless Active Shutter Glasses - Designed with top-of-the-line optics to deliver 2X the resolution per eye and ultra-wide viewing angles versus passive glasses. Comfortable to wear and modeled after modern sunglasses, offering a stylish and lightweight alternative to traditional 3D glasses. Fully untethered solution, offering free range of motion and up to 20 feet of wireless 3D viewing. USB-based, High Power IR Emitter - Transmits data directly to active shutter glasses within a 20 foot radius and contains an easy to use real-time 3D adjustment dial. Maximum Display Flexibility - Designed for pure ViewSonic and Samsung 120 Hz LCD monitors, Mitsubishi DLP 1080p HDTVs, and DepthQ HD 3D projectors, unlocking crystal-clear, flicker-free stereoscopic 3D gaming for multiple viewing solutions. Out of the Box Game Compatibility - Advanced NVIDIA software automatically converts over 300 games to work in 3D stereo out of the box, without the need for special game patches. In addition, NVIDIA's "The Way It's Meant to Be Played" program ensures that future games will support 3D Vision. 3D Vision is also the only stereoscopic 3D gaming solution to fully support NVIDIA SLI, NVIDIA PhysX, and Microsoft DirectX 10 technologies. Extended Usability On a Single Charge - A single charge using a standard USB cable enables over 40 hours of continuous 3D stereoscopic gaming. Intelligent circuit design built into the glasses automatically shuts the glasses off after 10 minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life. Support for 3D Stereo Photography and Movies - Includes a free 3D Vision viewer which allows consumers to take in-game screenshots and view them in 3D stereo, or import and view stereoscopic pictures and movies from a variety of different capture sources and online web photo galleries. "For gamers, 3D Vision for GeForce represents a whole different way of experiencing the game, and for developers, it unlocks the potential of making the game literally pop off the screen," said Ujesh Desai, vice president of GeForce desktop business at NVIDIA. "From games to movies to photography, 3D Vision delivers a truly immersive awesome 3D experience." 3D Vision for GeForce is available starting today from leading U.S. e-tailers including www.compusa.com, www.tigerdirect.com, www.microcenter.com; as well as direct from www.nvidia.com for a suggested MSRP of $199 USD. Worldwide availability will be announced later, in the first quarter. Source: NVIDIA
Is there any video that shows how this thing works ? Because its expensive and I don't think that anyone is willing to pay $200 for a thing without testing it first or seeing how it works. All I can do now is imagining the experience
so the glasses dont have video built in or do they? It says it goes along with monitors which makes me think it just makes the image on the monitors look 3d. I was hoping for some back to the future style-at the dinner table-DAD ITS NEEDLES-glasses
If they are like the 3D glasses i've been using as a research project at uni (they look almost the same) then the images will not be in the glasses. The system will work with the glasses lenses having a thin, see through lcd material that obscures light when a current is sent through it (requiring a small battery pack in the glasses). The small black box shown plugs into your pc and sends a signal to the glasses saying which eye to obscure, and this will be synced up with altinate frame display in the monitor, which will show a frame for the left eye, then one for the right, one for the left again etc, so on a 60hz monitor you'll get 30fps for each eye, with each eye's rendering having a slightly different perspective to give a 3D feel (on a 120hz monitor you will get 60fps per eye). The problem with this technology is when the batteries start to get low then you do notice a lot of flicker and the 3D effect is lost, as well as a reasonable number of people can become ill with symptoms similar to motion sickness when using the glasses. Not a bad tech and you do get a 3D feel from images, although it isn't breathtaking in its current form (the 3D images are "3D", but i just feel dissapointed with "how" 3D the scenes look, it's hard to describe, it's just that 3D models are 3D but you notice that 2D textures are suddenly noticable as 2D (even with proper shading effects etc) as well as more distant objects still being very flat).
looking up to my Elsa Revelator glasses on the cupboard from ...too old to know :-D In how far are they different to them? or can i just use the new drivers with them...i think they are just the stereo drivers like in the good old gf2 times... wow what a comeback, glasses from ages mixed up with modern technology graphics cards

Man held without bail after hitting boy with car
DARTMOUTH, Mass. (WHDH) -- A man is accused of backing a car out of a driveway at a high rate of speed, crashing through a fence and hitting a 4-year-old boy.
"It was fast, it was fast," said Edward Rebello, the boy's grandfather.
"You never think that a car's going to come into your yard and hit your children," said Tammy Rebello, the boy's grandmother.
Edward Rebello recounted how the 4 year old could have died in his own backyard.
"He was playing in the yard and I guess the guy just did a whole u-turn right into the fence, ran him over," said Edward Rebello.
Cole Kelley has tire marks on his legs, his back and the left side of his body.
"The mother was right there, she grabbed him within a couple -- probably a minute, you know," said Edward Rebello.
"He's a little traumatized. To go through something like that -- he's really nervous about vehicles. We had a hard time getting him into our Jeep earlier," Tammy Rebello said. "He has a lot of road rash, complaining about leg pain. He has a lot of bruising on his back."
Pedro Roias was in court Thursday and charged with driving drunk and a slew of other charges related to the accident.
Roias' landlord said he had two flat tires and had been drinking vodka all day.
"Pedro put in the gas in the car, the car go fast, breaking the gate to my neighbor," said Maria Santos, the suspect's landlord.
Cole was taken to Hasbro Hospital in Providence and was released Wednesday night.
On Thursday, police were back at the scene collecting evidence, including Cole's shorts that he was wearing at the time. Meanwhile his family cleaned up the shattered fence.
"He's doing good. He's hanging in there. He's a tough kid, he'll be alright," said Edward Rebello.
"Cole loves Pedro. He does. They play at the gate, he sings to him, plays with him," Tammy Rebello said.
Roias was held without bail. He has a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Friday.

This is only a short blog as a sort of update to all of you who read my first post on the Leaving Cert Mammy.
So the Leaving Certificate results have come and gone, the college place has been accepted and very soon my first born will head off to start his new life as an undergraduate.
I was very apprehensive the day the results came out, not because I doubted that he would do well, but because his chosen course Computer Science, would see an increase in demand. Thankfully my fears were laid to rest when his college offer came through and he secured his place.
So now I'm in a bit of a limbo.
As I said in my previous blog post, I am excited for him. He even sees a future for himself and he believes it to be here, in Ireland. He doesn't forsee working abroad – he's a home bird (to be honest, in reality I think he knows where his washing will be done) He heads away soon for the orientation week which will be closely followed by full time student life.
So here I am looking at a young man, who my friends call 'mums rock' because that's what he was. All those years of my hubby working away my first born stepped up to the mark without even being asked. When his siblings were small he learned how to make bottles, clean up the playroom and is one of the best when it comes to hoovering. He can even cook using a real cooker!! To this day he is still able to suss if I'm a bit down or tired and will step into the breach. I feel like I'm losing my right arm which I know isn't fair on him, hence my excitement is tinged with a tiny bit of sadness. Looking at him, I wish I was that age again and had even half of the opportunities ahead of me that he'll have. I envy his new found freedom and hope that he'll put it to good use and stay safe while doing so.
His youngest sibling on the other hand, is already eyeing up his bedroom. He doesn't realise that his older brother may actually come home every odd weekend and might need somewhere to stay.
I've no doubt that city living will change him and will give him a new perspective on life. So although I may be saying goodbye to a boy, I'm full sure he'll come home a man, and as such I'll have to be ready.
I don't remember any of this in the 'becoming a parent' manual !!

Osho,Why can modern psychologists not think or write about, or even conceive of enlightenment? Is enlightenment a new phenomenon beyond their conception? Will they ever understand a phenomenon "beyond enlightenment"?Please comment.
Modern psychology is in its very childhood. It is just one century old. The concept of enlightenment belongs to Eastern psychology, which is almost ten thousand years old. Modern psychology is just beginning from scratch, it is at the ABC stage. Enlightenment and beyond enlightenment are the very end of the alphabet of human endeavor: XYZ.
Modern psychology is a misnomer because the word psychology originates from the word psyche. Psyche means the soul. The exact meaning of the word psychology would be the science of the soul. But it is a very weird word. Psychology denies the existence of the soul and still goes on calling itself psychology. It accepts only the physical body and its byproduct, the mind. As the physical body dies, the mind also dies; there is no rebirth, there is no reincarnation. Life is not an eternal principle, but just a byproduct of certain physical material things put together.
You have to understand the word byproduct. Even the idea of a byproduct is not very original. In India, there has been a school of materialists, at least five thousand years old, called charvakas. They describe mind as a byproduct of the body. Their example is very fitting. Remember, it is a five thousand year-old example. We can find modern contemporary parallels to it. In India you must have seen people chewing betel leaves, pan. It consists of four or five things – the betel leaf and three or four things more. You can eat them separately and they will not give the color red to your lips; but if you eat them together they will create the color red as a byproduct. That red color has no existence of its own, it is a byproduct.
In a contemporary example, look at a watch working.
I have heard that Mulla Nasruddin when he retired, was presented with a gold pocket watch by his friends. It was automatic, and from the very beginning he was surprised; he thought what a miracle it was that it went on and on. But after three or four days it stopped. He was very much surprised, what had happened?
When it stopped he opened it up and found a small dead ant inside.
He said, "Now I know the secret! This ant is the driver, and now he's dead how can the watch continue? But those idiots should have told me that there is a driver! – it needs food, it needs water. And sometimes you even have to change the driver!"

March 18. 2013 3:46PM
Spring arrives Wednesday, but don't be fooled.
A strong late-winter storm is expected to plaster New Hampshire today with anywhere from 12 to 16 inches of snow across much of the state.
"It's not very spring like. We're just stuck in this pattern," said Stacie Hanes, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
Winter storm warnings were issued for the entire state as the latest coastal storm moves in with heavy snow expected — at times dropping 1 to 2 inches an hour.
The snow was expected to lighten up later Tuesday morning before another heavy burst in the afternoon, Hanes said.
Because it's late March, Hanes said the snow will be heavier in southern areas, increasing the chance of scattered power outages with the wet snow clinging to trees and power lines.
While the snow may mix with some rain along the coast, Hanes said it's expected to fall mostly as snow.
Unlike other powerful storms that have whipped the state this winter, this one will have lighter winds, with gusts reaching about 20 mph, Hanes said.
The storm comes just as the snow from several big storms in February — including record snowfall during the February blizzard — was melting away and leaving behind a muddy mess.
"I was looking forward to the last snowstorm being the last snowstorm," said Elaine White, 69, as she took a brisk walk through downtown Exeter Monday afternoon on her way to return a book to the Exeter library.
White is looking forward to spring, but as a New Englander she's used to snow in late March and even April.
It looked more like spring inside Stillwells Riverwalk Ice Cream in Exeter, one of the few ice cream shops around that's open through the winter.
Co-owner Stephen Markot said business hasn't been too bad even with all the snowstorms, but he wouldn't have minded another winter like the one last year, when temperatures soared into the 80s in March. The unseasonably warm weather was good for winter ice cream sales.
"There's a big difference this year because of the weather," he said.
Still, the cold temperatures and threat of more snow didn't stop Brenda Gargas and Karin Tenney-Helfrich from grabbing an ice cream during their lunch break in downtown Exeter.
"This is the prelude to spring," Gargas, of Fremont, said as she prepared to dive into her cup of purple cow frozen yogurt.
With maple sugar season in full swing, Tenney-Helfrich of Exeter decided to go with maple walnut ice cream.
"It's New England," she said. "We eat ice cream any time."

I Am An Expert, But How Do I Get The Word Out?
Posted 17 April 2006 - 02:16 PM
I am new to this forum and new, kind of, to being a webmaster. I own annuityiq.com and work specifically with variable annuities, don't go to sleep on me now! I am an expert I have over 12 years experience in the financial services industry. Now I launched my site about 2.5 weeks ago, (and of course I am wondering why I am not number one in google yet cause I am the best ;-)) and I did a press release and got visitors and some sales which is good. My question is how do expand my reach and let people know I am a true expert? If you go to my site I hold nothing back and show people where they can track my record, etc, but I need more mainstream coverage. How or where do I go where I can write on my topic? I know my stuff, but am not sure who to tell it to. Any ideas out there?
Posted 17 April 2006 - 02:25 PM
Posted 17 April 2006 - 02:41 PM
But I want it now! Joke, I know, i actually do have a blog on my site and a forum. Would you be willing to look at it and let me know what you think? annuityiq.com, no hyperlink cause I do not want to spam it here. Thanks for the quick reply btw.
ewo I will check that out thank you, looks interesting.
Posted 17 April 2006 - 05:41 PM
In addition to a blog, you might want to start an email newsletter, and also hang out in forums where your target market hangs out and just be generally helpful and informative there.

Pitch articles to magazines and newspapers. Try to get friendly with local TV reporters so they'll call on you as a "local expert" for stories with a financial angle. Your first press release had some positive effects, so don't stop with just the one. Submit periodic (but not too frequent ) press releases with tie-ins between your services and upcoming holidays, current events, recent news stories, etc. Come up with a presentation or two on interesting topics related to your area of expertise, and go out on the speaking circuit in your area (check with local business organizations, chambers of commerce, etc. to see if they're looking for after-dinner speakers or people to make presentations at meeting). Podcasts. Webinars. An e-book...
Just keep in mind, branding yourself as an expert, like getting top rankings in the SEs, will take work and likely won't happen overnight.

You're taking the right approach by becoming an expert first, BTW. 8 years ago, I had gotten lucky enough times in a row that I thought I was an SEO expert. Compared to the other available experts, I probably was, but it didn't take long for people like Alan Perkins and Jill Whalen to point out how little I actually knew... so I had to go back to school and become an expert after the fact. It's easier to start as an expert.

The inspiration for Mabel McKinley came from the owners' grandmother, whose creative spirit overflowed into handmade Christmas cards, an illustrated cookbook, and beautiful trinkets curated at her own flea market. Mabel McKinley's vintage, handmade, and repurposed goods honor her with their eclectic beauty. Flattering dresses from Shabby Apple and Kiyonna wrap physiques in classic style, and candles, artwork, and home décor make houses feel like homes rather than oversize cereal boxes. The shop assembles a collection of unique pieces from all over the world, as well as Alaskan-made goodies such as art by Brianna Reagan.
Circular outfits voguish vixens in hip designer and eco-conscious women's fashions in a trendy boutique environment. An elegant array of jewelry ($25+) brings eye-catching accouterments to ears, wrists, and fingers with recycled earrings by Resource Revival and woven-gold bracelets by Alkemie. Like a Gatorade-sweepstakes trucker hat, vibrant and textured tops ($50+), designed by LiaMolly and Alice + Olivia, make the bedecked feel like a million bucks. Or shower attention on jealous legs with jeans ($85+) by Reuse, a brand breathing new life into old blue jeans' lungs with recycled denim styles. Dresses by SkunkFunk and Tracy Reese allow ladies to coat their bodies in glamour from head to toe without the sticky residue of papier-mâché pantsuits.
After spending 10 years working in the style hub of Los Angeles, Anchorage native Haley Welsome decided to bring her fashion-centric passions back to her hometown roots. Now she keeps Alaskans abreast of the latest trends with her bustling storefront and informative fashion blog, which details the new arriavls. Dresses, tops, and jackets come in designer flavors like BCBGeneration, Max & Cleo, and Free People. Blush Boutique also carries high-end denim from 7 For All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, and Hudson. Dainty jewelry accessories come in sterling silver or gold-dipped styles. Other items include decorative, scented candles, make-up, and stylish handbags perfect for storing spare change and robot parts .
In 1988, Auntie Anne's founders Anne and Jonas Beiler purchased a Pennsylvania farmers' market stand, where they experimented with dough until they created a pretzel that seemed to strike the perfect chord with their customers. Today, at their more than 1,150 locations worldwide, the pretzel makers still hand roll the original recipe but have added to the menu with inventive options, such as the pepperoni pretzel and eight signature dipping sauces. The team constantly explores new uses for the pretzel dough, such as wrapping it around hot dogs, slicing it into bite-size nuggets, or using it to build historically accurate Austrian villages. To transform the snack into a meal, they accompany it with specialty drinks, including flavored lemonade mixers.
When not twisting dough, Auntie Anne's team partners with the national charitable organization Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, which raises funds to fight childhood cancer. They also reach out to the community through fundraising opportunities.
Bottoms Boutique decorates bodies below the belt with stylish shoes and jeans for men and women. Find ripe offerings from dashing denim distributors such as Miss Me, Rock Revival, and Rock & Republic ($98–$200) or step out in style, treating feet to street stompers by the likes of Betsey Johnson, Naughty Monkey, and Mark Nason ($65–$180). A bountiful stock of accessories under $50, from socks and tights to necklaces and handbags, dances in front of shoppers' eyes as the steadfast staff keep their ears to the fitting-room doors to find out exactly what customers want and their approximate resting heart rate.

With all due respect to Cindy McCain, "rape is rape" is not enough.
Todd Akin didn't mis-speak, he mis-believes. He didn't mis-state, he mis-thinks, and he uses untruths as a basis for his politics. His claim that womens' bodies have a magical ability to prevent pregnancy after a "legitimate" rape wasnt a gaffe, it was an honest characterization of the willfully erroneous thinking behind personhood laws and attempts to ban abortion even in cases of rape or incest.
Think about it: "If You Get Pregnant, It Wasn't Really Rape" is just the natural next single on a Republican Hit Parade that also includes "Put A Bayer Aspirin Between Your Knees," "Just Close Your Eyes," and "That Cluster of Cells Has the Same Rights As You." It's the sexual politics of either a 14-year-old boy or my octogenarian Dad.
But what else can we really expect from a party whose members of Congress traveled to the Holy Land and went around drunk and naked like it was Senior Week in North Wildwood?
But WAIT, one "rational Republican" said to me -- it's not really about the misogyny, its about the direction this country is going in! And with that I couldn't agree more, because Akin is a walking illustration of exactly where our country is going. And that's what scares the hell out of me.
So I don't want to hear the "rational Republicans" in my life (and there are some) disavow Akin's words. I want them to disavow the lies, and the laws that are the end result of Akin's way of thinking. I want them to turn away from political stances that come from fanciful mischaracterization of female biology and a distrust of women to make reproductive decisions without government intervention.
Tom Morello called Paul Ryan the embodiment of the machine his band's been raging against all these years. I say Ryan is the avatar of the Republican war on women. He and Mitt Romney are now the figureheads of a party which has at its core an utter ignorance of 7th grade science coupled with a fear of women and a deep desire to control us.
The frightening thing about Akin isn't what he said. It's that if he said it, it means there are other people who must believe it. This is the same mentality that says if you give a girl a cancer vaccination it'll turn her into the town tramp.
The national GOP is pulling the $5 million it was going to spend on the Akin race, though he'll likely raise more than that in "grassroots" money from people whose knowledge of basic biology is as good as his. Sounds like that $5 million would be better spent sending Congressional Republicans to an 11th grade sex-Ed class.

We need to talk...take 2 (Jensen)
Dinner had been nice for the most part. Fred had tried not to prolong it more than it needed to be, but she really didn't want what was coming next. She had a feeling it was going to be a very uncomfortable time, when all she wanted was nice and cuddly. After cleaning up the mess they made of Hank's lab, not that it had been much, she went with Jake to his apartment.
She felt a little uncomfortable as she stood just inside the door. Her body itched a little from wanting to take a shower; it was the usual feeling after being beaten up and mended. She was glad there was a doctor near by, and she knew she couldn't just hop in the shower quite yet. Actually she wasn't sure she could do it very well with how her side hurt.
"So, did you see my bruise?" Fred gave him a proud little smile. "I don't think I got too burnt." She glanced at herself, knowing the scorch marks were here and there. She was delaying, just a little longer.

The Americana Holiday: Lonely Planet's Best Places to Celebrate Independence
Editor's note: Summer travel season has officially begun! The following guest post was written by Robert Reid, the US travel editor for Lonely Planet. He will be guest blogging on Savvy for the next two months, helping you find some great ideas of how to get your vacation on this Summer.
For most of us, July 4 — unlike family-oriented holidays like Christmas or Thanksgiving — is a true Americana community day. It's when the modern world takes a backseat to simple pleasures like hot dogs and Little Leaguers marching in small-town parades. Basically we all become a bit more like a character in a John Cougar Mellencamp video.
For Lonely Planet's 15 Summer Weekends website, we're highlighting a drive that cuts through the heart of Americana — Route 66. But that's only one of a few classics to consider if your July 4 plans aren't set in stone. Probably the best place to be – everyone should try it once – is where it all started, Philadelphia, where independence was signed and the first Fourth of July celebrations were staged a year later in 1777. The parade, centered around Independence Hall downtown, is a colorful mix of international dancers, Civil War reenactors, drummers, and the like. At night, homegrown band the Roots takes over the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, capped with a fireworks show. Stick around to July 8 for the reenactment of the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. I volunteered as a Loyalist last year.
Be the Star You Are This July 4th With Star Nail Art
You've probably seen lots of intricate nail art plastered all over the Internet, but if the notion of working with special polishing tools to create the impressive looks has you daunted, fear not. This Fourth of July, you can simply apply Big Ruby Tattoos' stick-on star designs ($12). The pack includes 10 star images, with 42 tats for the fingers and 44 additional ones for the pinkies and big toes. It's the perfect way to look cool and festive, all while impressing your friends; nobody will have to know you didn't paint them on yourself.
An Ode to Colonial Era Architecture
Can you picture George and Martha Washington lounging in a pair of Eames chairs peering out their floor-to-ceiling glass walled home? Yeah, me neither. But I have no problem fantasizing myself in a colonial cottage in the northeastern states. While many of us, myself included, covet midcentury modern homes, there's something about classic pillared and white wooden siding that never gets old. In honor of our Founding Fathers, I've rounded up 10 gorgeous colonial homes I would be proud to call my own.
Get Grilled: Hamburger vs. Hot Dog
Which Shirtless Guy Would You Take to a Fourth of July Beach Party?
It's the Fourth of July, a perfect date to celebrate the shirtless wonders of our great country. There are sure to be barbecues, fireworks displays, and parades across the nation, but we're curious as to who you'd like to celebrate with at a beachside party. So, tell us — which shirtless hottie would you take to a beach party?

Many of these serious issues may never get resolved with the closing of the Olive Branch.
"What about New York City, Thinker? Huge restrictions on guns, low crime rate"
Really, Gina?
While figures do indeed fluctuate, the Big Apple, like the urban locales I mentioned previously, is awash in firearms-related violence much greater per capita than areas with less restrictive regulations.
The Sunday Gazette has an editorial and full-page article with photos about Oklahoma City, propagandizing that COS should model itself on OKC. But OKC has more in common with Denver than COS. Both are state capitols, both have a 1M+ metro population, both are avid sports towns with a multitude of major and minor teams, both have downtown highrises, corporate offices, vibrant theatre, etc. Suggesting that COS copycat OKC is not much different from saying we should copy Denver, which is, dare I say it, impossible. Instead, COS should look at the other cities in Oklahoma and see what they are doing to make their city successful in the long shadow of OKC - (just kidding).
Like COS, OKC has just received a USL PRO soccer franchise, to begin playing in spring 2014. The long-time OKC mover/shaker behind this is Prodigal LLC, which is planning to build a soccer stadium. I read several articles and none said Prodigal is using govt dollars to do this. Instead, Bob Funk of Prodigal is looking for development partners and investors. Is Ragain, with his vast fund of inexperience, up to the task of bringing soccer to COS without being coddled and spoon fed with taxpayer dollars? BTW, Prodigal has named the soccer team 'Energy'. This is very revealing as to why OKC is prospering while COS is stuck in neutral.
This looks like a hoot!
The USL PRO (minor league) teams played 14 home games during the Mar-Oct 2013 season. 14 home games! The Sky Sox play 60+ home games. Ragain has said that he anticipates that attendance at his soccer games will be about 5000. I've looked at the USL PRO stats http://dohertysoccer.com/2013-lower-divisi… for 2012/2013 and home game attendance of "old" teams in 2013 ranges from a high of 8053 (Orlando) to a low of 542 (LA). It appears that 3000 attendees would be a more realistic expectation, but even this number is on the high side.
I think we can forget about spending dollars to make the proposed downtown stadium the perfect shape etc to accomodate USL PRO soccer. And I think the mayor should forget about spending apx $1M to update Sand Creek park stadium. Ragain needs to look to some other funding source than the taxpayers of COS.
This reminds me of the old mouse in your pocket analogy. We want this, and we want that, but the individuals using the term we don't speak for all those out there that have to fork over the money. When you say we, do you have a mouse in your pocket?
Yes, I think additional funding over and above taxes should be voluntary. It gives the donor more control as to what it goes toward and the extra money comes from people who really want to provide more money to the school programs.
Rodney Hammond, I have to agree with you totally. I have a medical discharge for the Air Force, with a DD214, and sadly do not receive any benefit from it to assist with employment-in an y way. Everytime I seek employment I am asked of I served. I have to say 'yes, but I am not considered due to a medical discharge." I have suffered, and suffered, living here to get ahead because of the vast job market letting vetereans with vets points exceed past me, and it totally sucks. Just once I would love to be allowed employment on that merit alone, so I can have a gainful oppurtunity that would allow me a life of no suffering.
Since you are capable of posting messages here, UCanSeeClearlyNow, why don't you just tell us what is on your mind, instead of whining and blaming The Independent.
Rich Tosches is clearly a gifted writer - however he wastes his talent by focusing on divisive political issues versus communal city-wide issues.
Do some good Rich - make our city leaders better!
So when is the Independent going to run an article from those who did not think Amendment 66 was a good idea?
Outspent 10-1 they were still able to make their point to the voters - yet they get no voice here?
Money spent watering parks will do more to avert crime than the gang who can't shoot straight can...
Next album a hip hop album. Cool!
Where or why did Fine Asian Cuisine Close or move? I need their Vietnamese egg rolls.
Joe Atencio! You have a little crush on Tosches don't you? I should point out that The Independent is not a "funny" paper and it is not really a newspaper either. The advertisements therein confirm that it is not even independent! Tosches does not tell or write jokes. He writes one joke each week which is called a "column" but it should not be confused with "humor".
Elaine Brush obviously has a derision for The First Amendment as well. Who does she think she is to tell another person that their comment "went over the line"? Her complete lack of knowledge is indicative of the proliferation of stupidity and ignorance. A recall election is how this system is supposed to work and once again the Socialists feathers are showing as she bemoans the recalled acting on their own agenda not their constituents as being the right way. Could you be little bit more wrong Ms Brush? Yes! The expression commonly said is "An armed society is a polite society". Anti-Bill of Rights people show that they have no compunction about being impolite. All the Elaine Brush' are free to leave and settle in a country that suits them but none are free to take anyone else' Rights away. A random act by a lunatic does not make gun owners guilty of anything. Mind and tend to your own as a lunatic's family should have done and then the problems are handled before they become tragedies. Nobody else, not even police will ever protect you Ms. Brush and that is the simple fact so many of your kind fail to grasp. By the way, the use of firearms in self-defense occurs every single day in America far out-numbering the illegal use. Do some research please. Using a firearm in self-defense is the second to last thing anyone wants to do, dying being the last thing.
The Gazette reports that Ragain's future soccer team will play at Sand Creek stadium, a city parks facility adjacent to Security Service Field, in spring 2015. But improvements costing $1M are needed so that Sand Creek meets USL PRO standards. Ragain said that "his franchise will contribute some of that money while the city may provide the rest." Ragain, understandably, is thrilled, "It's a dream come true," he said. It's doubtful, though, that the taxpayers, some of whom would be thrilled just to find a job in this shaky economy, will want to pick up the tab to make Ragain's dream a reality.
Soccer, major league soccer that is, appears to be a sport growing in popularity and even a minor league team should be attractive to private investors looking for a hobby. But Ragain needs to seek and find millionaires who will partner with him in his dream venture because it's unlikely that the taxpayers can afford to cough up the majority share of the $1M needed.
Are there no limits to the mayor's generosity and open-handed spending of our money? Here's hoping the city council will apply the brakes and firmly tell the mayor NO.
Let's back up for a moment, TejonTech. The subject is how to improve public schools.
You wrote, "...educate parents how to parent, how to offer a stable and healthy family system." Your proposed solution would entail hiring more teachers, social workers, and administrators; raising taxes to fund the effort; worst of all, empowering the government to define for private citizens what makes for a "stable and healthy family system." Perhaps the most absurd aspect of your solution is that it will take parents who often must work two jobs to make ends meet away from their children so they can be lectured on how they ought to spend more time with their children.
I wrote that raising the minimum wage would be a much simpler solution to the problem of giving parents more quality time to spend with their children, but you object that some shadowy person, or force, or entity whom you never identify "never intended" for minimum wage jobs to support families.
Look at all the suits in that room. One thing I have learned in my years is that innovation, imagination, and creativity never comes from suits. Suits are only concerned with money.
Mr Kirk Woundy, Thank you for your quick response.I would like to meet with you in person to discuss, Show u documents, and listen to all recorded inappropriate messages. In the meantime you can also do your own research and get public records. Hope to meet with you soon.Thank You

Yang Lian >>>>>Photos<<<<<
Yang Lian was born in Switzerland in 1955, and grew up in Beijing. He began writing when he was sent to the countryside in the 1970s. On his return to Beijing he became one of the founders of the 'Misty' school of contemporary Chinese poetry. Among other things, Yang Lian is known for his poem sequences and long poems which display a profound understanding of, and creative links with, Classical Chinese poetry.
His poems became well-known and influential inside and outside of China in the 1980s, especially when his sequence 'Norilang' was criticized by the Chinese government during the 'Anti-Spiritual Pollution' movement.
Yang Lian was invited to visit Australia and New Zealand in 1988 and became a poet in exile after the Tiananmen massacre. Since that time, he has continued to write and speak out as a highly individual voice in world literature, politics and culture.
Yang Lian has published eleven collections of poems, two collections of prose and one selection of essays in Chinese.
His work has also been translated into more than twenty languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Eastern European languages.
His work has been reviewed as "like MacDiarmid meets Rilke with Samurai sword drawn!", "one of the most representative voices of Chinese literature" and "one of the great world poets of our era'". Yang Lian has been elected two times of a board member of PEN International in 2008 and 2011. He has been living in London since 1997.
January of 2012, Yang Lian has won Nonino International Literature Prize in Italy, the juries of the prize were presided by V S Naipaul.
Yang Lian was also awarded the Flaiano International Poetry Prize (Italy, 1999) and his Where the Sea Stands Still: New Poems was Poetry Books Society Recommended Translation (UK, 1999). Among his 12 books of poems in English translation, his most representative works include Where the Sea Stands Still, a collection of short poems and sequence, (Bloodaxe Books,UK, 1999); Yi, a book-length poem (Green Integer, USA, 2002); Concentric Circles, another book-length poem (Bloodaxe Books UK, 2005), and Riding Pisces: Poems From Five Collections (Shearsman Books, UK, 2008), his latest book in English translation is Lee Valley Poems – A project of poems and translation (Bloodaxe Books, UK, 2009).
Yang Lian and the Scottish poet W. N. Herbert together with Brian Holton are the co-editors of Jade Ladder, a brand new Anthology of Contemporary Chinese Poetry (1978 -- 2008) in English, to be published by Bloodaxe Books in Apr, 2011.
Yang Lian has three volumes of collected works, Yang Lian's works 1982-1997 (2 vols) and Yang Lian's new works 1998-2002, published in China between 1999 and 2003, and one selection of Essays, A Tower Built Downward, published in Beijing in 2009. He published four books of poems and prose in Taiwan between 1994 and 2009.
Yang Lian's latest writing was The Narrative Poem, a book-length poem based on his autographical life-experience. The first edition of the book has been collected back and destroyed by Chinese Officials because of the subject of "Reality Elegy" linked with Tiananmen Massacre in Beijing, 1989, however, the book "marked the new altitude of Contemporary Chinese Poetry", reviewed by Tang Xiaodu, one of the most important poetry-critics.
Yang Lian has been invited to be writer in residence by many international institutions, among others are DAAD (Berlin programme), Amherst College, Bard College (USA), Cove Park (UK), MEET (France), University of Sydney (Australia), University of Auckland (New Zealand).
He was invited to be on the jury for the Lettre-Ulysess Award for the art of Reportage (Germany), International contest of Essays (Germany), and President of the Jury of "The Crystal Vilenica Award, 2008", as well as having been invited to be an adviser of "Free The Word" (International Literature Festival of PEN), International Literature Festival of Berlin, Poetry International Taipei…etc. Since 2005, he has been the artistic director of "Unique Mother Tongue", a privately organized international seminar series based on London.
Yang Lian's website: www.yanglian.net
'The poetic works of Yang Lian, International Nonino Prize 2012, is one of heights of Contemporary Chinese thought. Grounded to the millenary root of his culture, he reinterprets it reinventing and opening it to the tensions of Contemporaneity, touching in his lines all the great questions of our existence and reminding us that "poetry is our only mother tongue". He lives and writes as an exile not only from his land, pushing his view to the extreme limit. An absolute exile and distant profound poet far beyond our space-time. '
- The Motivation of Nonino International Literature Prize 2012, the jury of the prize, presided by V. S. Naipaul (Nobel Laureate for Literature 2001)
TIME magazine's review on Lee Valley Poems
- TIME Magazine
'Yang Lian is one of the most astonishing poets I've read for years. He has a westernist, modernist sensibility allied with an ancient Chinese, almost shamanistic one. He can both excite and frighten you - like MacDiarmid meets Rilke with Samurai sword drawn!'
- W.N. Herbert, Scotsman
'He continues his work bridging Chinese tradition to western modernism. The scope of his creative imagination is astoundingSYang Lian is one of the great world poets of our era'
- Klaus Rifberg, Edinburgh Review
'Yang Lian distinguishes himself in representing the pain of life caught in between historic eras...a new version of an old issue for world literature as well as Chinese literature is proposed: how to continue writing, relying on individual rather than enforced communal inspiration'
- Allen Ginsberg
'It wouldn't surprise me if he became a future Nobel Laureate. His style is one of extraordinary grandeur and ambitionSWithout question, the sequence Where the Sea Stands Still has a monumental drive, a sensuous strength and intellectual clarity; it could prove as enduring an achievement as Montale's Xenia or Elytis's The Axion Esti'
- David Morley, Stand
'Yang Lian stretches poetic language to its linguistic extreme.'
- Orbis Quaeterly International Literary Journal (No1 34)
'Yang Lian's intricate, shocking and baroque masterpiece Concentric Circles is superbly rendered by Brian Holton with Agnes Chan.'
- W N Herbert: Book Of The Year, Scotland on Sunday
'Yang Lian …… the most important voice of Modern Chinese lyrics.'
- Irmy Schweiger: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zietung.
Those lonely Tang dynasty poets may be Yang's original blues brother, but he's much a modernist and symbolist in the vein of Mallarme or Rimbaud, whose famous "The Drunken Boat" is recalled in one poem…… Yang Lian's work is rooted not in geography but his own imagination……to exist in Yang's lines can be a gorgeous but frustrating adventure.
- Tim Kindseth: Time Magazine.
This hauntingly beautiful collection, with its Chinese classical sensibility wedded to modernist methods, is a remarkable addition to London's literature of exile.
- Boyd Tonkin: The Independent.
The poem's timelessness, which equally can be conceived as a receptivity to all times…… it is not some withheld knowledge but a lure toward the unpredictable: "Forever excavating the darkness behind the eyes" ("Thunder 7", YI)…… Yang Lian points out that exile and dissent are simply the condition of Poetry.
- Jeffrey Twitchell-Waas: Chicago Review.
It is Fascinating how Yang Lian's poems uncover memory, explore archaic depth and create a timeless space related to Taoist "emptiness".
- Ilma Rakusa: Neue Zürcher Zeitung

This course has gone to the birds,The tee boxes are full of weeds (some of the weeds were 2 feet high) the greens were terrible, they were dry and cracked and pretty much unkept..It also is full of garbage this place needs help, The green fees are way too high and the management is rude and unfriendly,,the food is subpar at best and I for one will not waste my money there anymore. |

This is the poorest example of golf course upkeep i have ever seen. The greens are dead, The tee boxes are overgrown with weeds,And there is no attempt to treat customers fairly. Thought they had it going early last year, But the owners got rid of the people who were helping make it good again.The bottom line is the course is in really bad shape,and the owners are clueless about customer relations.Join us at trempealeau mountain,it is 5 times the course.

SCEE boss David Reeves to resign, will start smelling roses |

One of the biggest figures in Sony - especially SCEE - is David Reeves. He's been around on top of the Sony Europe food chain for quite some time now, but as of April 30 of this year, he's going to be stepping down.
SCEI has issued a press release of Reeves' resignation from the company, with Sony president Kaz Hirai thanking him for his contribution to the company. See, Reeves has been CEO since 2005, and before that, the President and Co-CoO of SCEE.
You can't possibly deny that this guy's pushed a heck of a lot of sales for the PS3, PSP, PS2 - yes, even the PSOne - across Europe and PAL.
So what's Reeve's got to say about his leaving and what are his plans after April 30? It looks like he's going for a more civic route:
It has been a wonderful ride with PlayStation. I never got to visit all 106 countries but managed 66. I have just two things to say on leaving: I want to thank all of those people who have supported SCEE and me personally in the past 14 years; you have been magnificent! Secondly, I am going to spend my time now trying to repay society for all I have taken from it. If your children are having physics lessons at the local school or wondering why their ski instructor is very elderly, your car mechanic has a bad back, or the social worker keeps bringing you PSP games, then it could just be me! Good luck to everybody at SCEE and everybody who continues to support us.

As much as I didn't like SCEE comments and sometimes Reeves, he was a fantastic person for SCEE who did good things. I wish him well in future endeavors.
