I still have quite a bit of my childhood figures and ships. Most are well played with condition. But I have a Darth Vader case and a case full. A few mini-rigs and ships. The X-wing is the saddest of the bunch.

Regio- and Stereoselective Hydrogenations and Hydroformylations with Homogeneous Transition Metal Catalysts
Prof. Armin Börner
Homogeneously catalyzed hydrogenations and hydroformylations play an important role in a number of synthetic routes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, as well for the preparation of synthetic fragrances, odors and agrochemicals. In particular the hydrogenation can be considered as one of the most versatile methods for the preparation of alkanes, alcohols and amines starting from different starting products. The hydroformylation is an pivotal reaction for the transformation of alkenes into aldehydes. The latter represent important starting compounds for the preparation of other functionalized compounds (alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines etc.). A particular advantage of homogeneous catalysts lies in their high potential to run the reaction in a highly chemoselective, regioselective and stereoselective manner. The production of enantiomerically pure compounds is an important field of activity in the department.
In the department we have more than 20 years of experience in both areas. All aspects of modern catalysis research are considered, e.g. synthesis of substrates and chiral ligands, synthesis and comprehensive characterization - e.g. 103Rh-NMR and in situ HP-NMR spectroscopy, in situ HP-IR spectroscopy, in situ UV/Vis spectroscopy – of precatalysts and catalysts, investigation of stability of ligands and catalysts, DFT-calculations and kinetic investigations.
Reactions can be investigated under normal as well as under enhanced pressure (till 200 bar), including the use of parallel autoclaves. Up-scaling by up to 3000 l can be performed in collaboration with a permanent partner of the industry.
Besides these activities, strategies based on multi-step synthesis employing hydrogenation or hydroformylation steps are developed in order to avoid existing patents. Since a few years also heterogeneously catalyzed reactions are under investigations.
In close collaboration with the industry practicable solutions are developed, targeting catalyst improvement, catalyst substitution or the creation of entirely new approaches. Currently, more than 10 innovations developed in the department have been commercialized or are running in an industrial scale.
Cooperations exist or have been successfully carried out, respectively, with: BASF (Ludwigshafen), Bayer Healthcare (Wuppertal), Boehringer-Ingelheim, ChiroBlock (Wolfen), Degussa Homogeneous Catalysts (Hanau), DSM (Basel), Esteve (Barcelona), Grünenthal (Aachen), Hansen & Rosenthal (Hamburg), Miltitz-Aromen (Leipzig), Miltitz Aromatics (Bitterfeld), Mitsubishi Gas Chemicals (Düsseldorf), Mitsubishi Gas Chemicals (Tokyo), Hüls AG/Oxeno C4-Chemie/Evonik Industries (Advanced Intermediates), ratiopharm (Ulm/Basel), Taminco (Gent), Solvias (Basel) and Uhde/ThyssenKrupp (Leuna).
The department is divided into three topics:
- Kinetics and mechanism of asymmetric catalysis (PD Dr. Detlef Heller)
- Asymmetric hydrogenations (Dr. Jens Holz)
- New catalysts for hydroformylations (Dr. Detlef Selent)

These gloves work great for cold weather riding, your hands will never get cold wearing these. The only reason I don't give it a 5 is because they are bulky but at least you will be able to feel your fingers!

The reward of a visit to Beale Street is clearly not worth the risk for the East mMemphis "white" devils.
Wendi is at it again...selling fantasy instead of reality.
Beale street is NOT a safe place and has not been for a very long time.
Charging admission would definitely help solve the problem by "disenfranchising" the very people who are the root of the problem...therfore it almost a certainty that no admission will ever be charged.
You obviously know nothing about the subject of Beale, yet that didn't stop you from posting this poop.

Washington, D.C.—Today, Congresswoman Barbara Lee joined fellow members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus at a press conference marking the introduction of The Balancing Act, a bill to repeal the sequester and achieve balance in long-term deficit reduction between revenue and cuts.
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) issued the following statement regarding immigration reform:
Washington, DC – Today Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13) released a statement recognizing the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.
"As we recognize the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must remain vigilant in protecting a woman's right to access safe and legal reproductive and preventative health services.
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) issued the following statement in response to the President's Plan to Protect our Children and our Communities by reducing Gun Violence.
As Afghan President Hamid Karzai returns to the United States this week, he will meet President Barack Obama at a time when the overwhelming majority of the American people and a strong bipartisan coalition of Congress believe it is long past time to bring the war to a safe and expedited close.
Introduces Key Legislation to Fight Poverty, Restore Equity and Promote Global Peace & National Security
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Barbara Lee reiterated her commitment to fighting poverty and creating opportunity, restoring income equity and promoting global peace and national security as she introduced a number of bills at the start of the 113th Congress.
After last night's Republican Plan "B" debacle and failure to find agreement within their own Caucus left them with no pathway forward, it is now time for all parties to unite around a new plan, a Plan "D" on the deficit deal.
Oakland, CA – Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) provided the following statement concerning decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the issue of marriage equality.
Many of us in the Congressional Progressive Caucus recognize that no serious plan to address the deficit can go forward without defense spending reforms on the table. The bloated Pentagon budget has increased a staggering 95 percent dating back to 2000. We continue to spend billions upon billions of dollars on a nuclear arsenal and Cold War-era weapons system designed to fight a phantom Soviet army.
Bi-partisan letter to Obama: No military solution in Afghanistan, bring troops home
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Congressman Walter Jones (R-NC) were joined by over 90 Members of the House of Representatives in sending a bipartisan letter to President Obama, calling for an accelerated end to the war in Afghanistan.
Simply put, the big idea behind the Robin Hood Tax is to generate hundreds of billions of dollars. That money could provide funding for jobs to kickstart the economy and get America back on its feet. It could help save the social safety net here and around the world. And it will come from fairer taxation of the financial sector.

Acoustic Jim and the Wires - Hanging up my cape album review
Looking out on a dank and dreary day in Liverpool is not something I would recommend to anyone but on listening to Acoustic Jim and the Wire's album "Hanging up my cape" made it all the more brighter
Acoustic Jim Hustwit, 31, is a Leeds-born singer song-writer and producer whose catchy infusion of soulful acoustic pop won him the title of 'Best Male Solo Artist' at the People's Music Awards. Jim has just self-released his eagerly awaited debut album "Hanging up My Cape" which he wrote and produced. The album boasts an eclectic contrast of brooding strings, bold brass arrangements and driving bass and beats. The sound is best described as Jack Johnson/Ed Sheeran with the soulful edge of James Morrison and funky side of Jason Mraz. He's spending August touring the UK to promote the album.
The album has a varied mix of styles from the reggae styled sound of "Time" to the upbeat, trumpet fused sounds of the first track " Superhero" and a lot of catchy, hooks and harmonies.
The first track grabs you and wants you to keep listening and keep listening you should as Acoustic Jim takes you calmly by the hand through the album. Obviously a lot of acoustic guitar plays heavily through the whole album but with the mixture of trumpet, string and Jim's sweet penetrating voice makes that second fiddle.
"Stand and fight" has a gorgeous string section playing through-out and they compliment the lyrics and vocals beautifully.
The album goes from slow to upbeat in a blink of an eye and although this sometimes can be quite disconcerting it seems to work well and the use of the trumpet on many of the tracks is not over done and does not take anything away from the whole eel of the album.
"She's the one" stands out for me with its Spanish, flamenco style and quick paced lyrics its an ideal song to cheer you up as does "Les fourmis" which is sung entirely in french. I have to admit this was a curve ball when listening to it but a most welcome one.
The album on the whole has a glorious summer feel to it and would not be out of place in a hot sunny day and us highly recommended to brighten up the most dreary of days. A brilliant piece of work and I look forward to seeing them live if they are ever in the Liverpool area.

THE MAROON Volume XV Z-257 LOVOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1938 No. 1 SODALISTS MAKE ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE Members Of Varsity Debating Team Announced Students Dance At Yacht Club Strieman's Orchestra Will Play For Year's First Social With Al Strieman and his orchestra furnishing the music from 10 till 2, students and alumni of the university will journey to the Southern Yacht club tonight for the first student dance of the New Year. This will be the last all-university social function before the semester examinations begin and a large crowd is expected to be on hand for the fun. In addition, the Southern Yacht club is the favorite spot for Loyola student dances, if past affairs held there may be taken as an indication. The dance marks the first appearance of Strieman and his musicians at a Loyola function during the present school session, and the announcement that he would play excited favorable comment from the student body. The orchestra is very well known in the city. The committee will continue the policy, recently adopted, of limiting the invitations to members of the student body and of the university alumni, Richard E. Wright, chairman, stated Wednesday.Coeds are reminded that they must secure invitations from the office of the Rev. F. L. Janssen, faculty director of extra-curricular activities. Invitations for ' male students at the regular price of 75 cents per couple and 50 cents per stag may be purchased from any member of the dance committee until 2 p. m. The committee is composed of the following: Wright, Smythe, Wallace Treme, Stephen Bailey, Ed Jeansonne, Dan Lehon, "Jiggs" Maerz, Robert Smythe, A. J. O'Donnell, Jr., Andy Reising, Cy Broussard, Buddy Schrieber, Clay Calhoun and Danny Lyons. Forum Initiates 3 New Members * Three new members were formally admitted into the Accounting » Forum at a meeting of the group i yesterday in Room 45 of Marquette hall. They are: Alphonse Elmer, William Simpsan and Michael Fusaro. At the meeting, Prof. John Ruswinckel, faculty moderator, addressed the members on "Auditing."Parker Speaks On Task Facing Modern Youth Economist In Address Before Members of Commerce Club "You men will soon be in control of business, and you will probably be appalled by the magnitude of the job," stated Walter Parker, economist connected with the firm of Fenner and Beane, in an address before the members of the Commerce club at their last regular meeting. Mr. Parker, who spoke on the "Opportunities in Latin America," showed how our national debt is accumulating and that the young men of today and their posterity after them will have to bear this crushing burden. Business affords one method of meeting the obligations. "Americans with their finances can develop Latin America and find markets for their products. This can be more readily accomplished," stated Mr. Parker, "if Frosh Win Debate To Tie Series Albena and Allain Gain Unanimous Decision in Annual Event Arguing the affirmative of the question, "Resolved: That the National Labor Relations Board be empowered to enforce the arbitration of all labor disputes," the Freshman debating team, composed of Michele Albena and Alex Allain, defeated Singleton Neyland and Charles Peck of the Sophomores in the annual Hausmann Trophy debate held December 22, in Marquette auditorium. This victory by the Freshmen brings the Hausmann Trophy series into a tie, 1 to 1, the Sophs having won the first event, the annual tug-o'war. The final winners will have to emerge victorious in two of the remaining three events. The two Freshman debaters brought out some strong points, and were helped by strong delivery. Albena placed emphasis on the argument that "while the National Labor Relations Board may not be the answer to our national labor crisis, it is one logical solution and cannot be overlooked as such."

Aineworth and Joseph J. Miranne, Jr. At the lower left is Andrew J. O'Donnell, Jr., and at the lower right, Robert F. Morrow. McCann, Aineworth and Morrow were members of the squad last year. They will probably bear most of the burden of the debate schedule for this year. Circolo Sets Plans For Spring Play The Circlo Universitario Italiano is making extensive plans for the presentation of an Italian play, one of the major activities planned by the club for the new year. This will mark the third activity of the club for the school year, the other two having been a social at the beginning of the first semester and the Italian Night. Several dramas are being considered by the moderator of the society, Mr. A. E. Papale. The play, to be given in Marquette auditorium, will be presented during the latter part of March or in early April. Plans are also being made for a lecture to be given during the first part of the second semester. The speaker will be named at an early date, it was announced. Members of the club have been invited to serve on the reception committtee of a Carnival ball, to be given in the Municipal auditorium Feb. 20, by the Circolo Elena di Savoia, prominent women's social club, the moderator announced.At the end of the current school year the Circolo will give a social in honor of its graduating members.MID-TERM EXAMS TO BEGIN NEXT FRIDAY Mid-term examinations in the college of arts and sciences are scheduled to begin next Friday, January 14, in all classes. During the week, January 18 through 24, regular classes will be suspended. A complete schedule of all exams is posted onj the registrar's bulletin board. Society Names 5 To Debate Squad Team to Make Tour On East Coast In Spring; Marquette, Stanford Debaters to Appear Here Five men were named as members of the Varsity debating squad for this year at the regular meeting of the Edward Douglass White society, Wednesday night in Marquette auditorium. The society voted that last year's members of the varsity squad, Harold Ainsworth, John J. McCann, and Robert F. Morrow should retain their places on the team. A. J. O'Donnell, Jr., and Joseph J. Miranne, Jr. were named following a series of elimination debates. Louis J. Dutrey was selected as alternate for the team. The selection of O'Donnell and Miranne was made by three judges, the Rev. Terence King, S. J., the Rev. Michael Walsh, S. J., and the Rev. Denis Curen, S. J., after 16 members of the society participated in the tryouts. Ainsworth, junior law student, was a member of the varsity debating squad last year, is president of the White society and ,past winner of the gold medal awarded the best speaker in the annual debate between the night and day school debating societies. McCann, junior law, has been a member of the varsity squad for the last three years, and is a former officer of the White society. Morrow, senior arts and sciences, is former vice-president of the debate group, a member of Professors Return From Conventions Nine Members of Faculty "Represent Loyola At National Meet Several members of the faculty of the university attended various conventions throughout the nation during the recent Christmas holidays as official representatives of Loyola. Dr. James T. Connor, dean of the school of law, led a delegation composed of Professors Antonio Papale, Joseph Dainow, and Mark Walker to the thirty-fifth annual meeting of the Association of Law Schools at Chicago. The convention was held on December 29, 30, and 31. Various problems affecting law schools were discussed, and the association passed an important amendment to the articles of the group, making it imperative for all the pre-legal studies of students to be considered in application for admission to a law school. "This means that failures can no longer be ignored in transcripts which otherwise contain sufficient credits for entrance," Dr. Connor stated Wednesday.

FRANK CARRIERE TO DIRECT BIG AFFAIR Sodalists, Nuns to Keep 123- Year-Old Pledge Made by Ursulines at the Battle of New Orleans Approximately 2000 sodalists j from the various colleges and high schools throughout the city, will participate in the seventh annual pilgrimage to Our Lady of Prompt Succor, to be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p. m. The parade will form in the I horseshoe in front of Marquette hall of the university and proceed by way of St. Charles avenue and State street to the shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor at Ursuline college. Frank M. Carriere, junior commerce student and member of the college council of sodalities, which is sponsoring the event, is in charge of all arrangements. He will be assisted by Rev. S. H. Ray, S. J., director of sodalities at Loyola and the Rev. John McAtee, S. J., director of high school sodalities. The pilgrimage is made each jyear in conjunction with the 1 pledge made by the Ursuline nuns 123 years ago at the battle of New Orleans. At this time the nuns promised to honor Our Lady of Prompt Succor each year as they prayed for deliverance. Since 1932, the sodalities of the city have joined with the sisters in WWL Power Increased To 50,000 Watts Right Is Won From Federal Body After Years Of Struggle An increase in power of from 10,000 to 50,000 watts for the university radio station, WWL, was announced by Vincent F. Callahan, general manager, Wednesday.Permission for the change was received from the Federal Communications Commission following a fight of more than three years duration. The original application was filed on November 17, 1934, but the final decision was not handed down until December 30 of 1937. Work Begins Immediately Work on the additional power, to which WWL is to have a clear claim, will begin immediately. A new transmitter, antenna and other similar equipment will be prepared and installed near Kenner, La. "That increased power will improve our coverage greatly," Mr. Callahan said in comment on the improvement, "I believe the Communications commission has realized tht value of better radio stations in the South.

Darkness falls over BV's finances
MANLIUS – A power outage during a winter storm at Bureau Valley High School on Monday night did not stop board members from conducting regular monthly business.
After the meeting was called to order, a near two-hour closed session took place, which forced a large number of students, staff and community members to wait in the lobby of the district office. During this time, lights continuously flickered on and off, which eventually activated the building's emergency backup lights.
When open session of the meeting reconvened, the board room was lit by only two backup lights, which left some board members and the audience relying on the light of their cellphones to read their agendas.

Crop Circles: The Art of the Hoax
They may not be evidence of UFOs, ancient spirits or secret weapons, but there is something magical in their allure
- By Rob Irving and Peter Brookesmith
- Smithsonian.com, December 15, 2009, Subscribe
When Doug Bower and his co-conspirator Dave Chorley first created a representation of a "flying saucer nest" in a wheat field in Wiltshire, England, in 1976, they could not have foreseen that their work would become a cultural phenomenon.
Almost as soon as crop circles became public knowledge, they attracted a gaggle of self-appointed experts. An efflorescence of mystical and magical thinking, scientific and pseudo-scientific research, conspiracy theories and general pandemonium broke out. The patterns stamped in fields were treated as a lens through which the initiated could witness the activity of earth energies and ancient spirits, the anguish of Mother Earth in the face of impending ecological doom, and evidence of secret weapons testing and, of course, aliens. Today, one of the more vigorously promoted ideas is that they are messages, buried in complex numerological codes, concerning a Great Change connected to the pre-Columbian Mayan calendar and due to occur in 2012.
To appreciate how these exotic responses arose, we need to delve a little into history. Before today's circle-makers entered the picture, there had been scattered reports of odd patterns appearing in crops, ranging from 17th century pamphlets to an 1880 account in Nature to a letter from astronomer Patrick Moore printed in 1963 in New Scientist. In Australia, the mid- to late-1960s saw occasional reports of circles in crops, and they were often ascribed to UFO landings. At around the same time in England, the Wiltshire town of Warminster became a center of UFO-seeking "sky watches" and gave birth to its own rumors of crop circles, or "saucer nests." None of these, unfortunately, was photographed.
It was such legends that Bower had in mind when, over a drink one evening in 1976, he suggested to his pal Chorley: "Let's go over there and make it look like a flying saucer has landed." It was time, thought Doug, to see a saucer nest for himself.
Since then, crop circles have been reported worldwide in a multitude of crops. In southern England, which sees most activity, circle-makers tend to concentrate on canola, barley and wheat. These grow and are harvested in an overlapping progression: canola from April through May, barley throughout May and June, and wheat from June until early September. In recent years the occasional rudimentary pattern has been found in corn, extending the crop circle season as late as October. Since Bower and Chorley's circles appeared, the geometric designs have escalated in scale and complexity, as each year teams of anonymous circle-makers lay honey traps for New Age tourists.
A crucial clue to the circles' allure lies in their geographical context. Wiltshire is the home of Stonehenge and an even more extensive stone circle in the village of Avebury. The rolling downs are dotted with burial mounds and solitary standing stones, which many believe to be connected by an extensive network of "leys," or paths of energy linking these enchanted sites with others around the country. It is said that this vast network is overlaid in the form of "sacred geometries." The region has also given rise to a rich folklore of spectral black dogs, headless coachmen and haunted houses.
Crop circles are a lens through which we can explore the nature and appeal of hoaxes. Fakes, counterfeits and forgeries are all around us in the everyday world—from dud $50 bills to spurious Picassos. People's motives for taking the unreal as real are easily discerned: we trust our currency, and many people would like to own a Picasso. The nebulous world of the anomalous and the paranormal is even richer soil for hoaxers. A large proportion of the population believes in ghosts, angels, UFOs and ET visitations, fairies, psychokinesis and other strange phenomena. These beliefs elude scientific examination and proof. And it's just such proof that the hoaxer brings to the table for those hungry for evidence that their beliefs are not deluded.
False evidence intended to corroborate an existing legend is known to folklorists as "ostension." This process also inevitably extends the legend. For, even if the evidence is eventually exposed as false, it will have affected people's perceptions of the phenomenon it was intended to represent. Faked photographs of UFOs, Loch Ness monsters and ghosts generally fall under the heading of ostension. Another example is the series of photographs of fairies taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths at Cottingley, Yorkshire, between 1917 and 1920. These show that the motive for producing such evidence may come from belief, rather than from any wish to mislead or play pranks. One of the girls insisted till her dying day that she really had seen fairies—the manufactured pictures were a memento of her real experience. And the photos were taken as genuine by such luminaries as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle—the great exponent, in his Sherlock Holmes stories, of logic.
The desire to promote evidence of anomalous and paranormal events as genuine springs from deep human longings. One is a gesture toward rationalism—the notion that nothing is quite real unless it's endorsed by reasoned argument, and underwritten by more or less scientific proofs. But the human soul longs for enchantment. Those who don't find their instinctive sense of the numinous satisfied by art, literature or music—let alone the discoveries of science itself—may well turn to the paranormal to gratify an intuition that mystery dwells at the heart of existence. Such people are perfectly placed to accept hoaxed evidence of unexplained powers and entities as real.
And so, the annual appearance of ever more complex patterns in the wheat fields of southern England is taken by "croppies"—the devotees who look beyond any prosaic solution for deeper explanations—as signs and wonders and prophecies. The croppies do, however, accept that some people, some of the time, are making some of the formations. They regard these human circle-makers as a nuisance, contaminators of the "evidence," and denounce them as "hoaxers." The term is well chosen, for it implies social deviance. And therein lies the twist in the story.
In croppy culture, common parlance is turned on its head. The word "genuine" usually implies that something has a single, identifiable origin, of established provenance. To the croppy it means the opposite: a "genuine" circle is of unknown provenance, or not man-made—a mystery, in other words. It follows that the man-made circle is a "hoax."
Those circle-makers who are prepared to comment on this semantic reversal do so with some amusement. As far as they're concerned, they are creating art in the fields. In keeping with New Age thought, it is by dissociating with scientific tradition that the circle-makers return art to a more unified function, where images and objects are imbued with special powers.
This art is intended to be a provocative, collective and ritual enterprise. And as such, it is often inherently ambiguous and open to interpretation. To the circle-maker, the greater the range of interpretations inspired in the audience the better. Both makers and interpreters have an interest in the circles being perceived as magical, and this entails their tacit agreement to avoid questions of authorship. This is essentially why croppies regard "man-made" circles as a distraction, a "contamination."
Paradoxically, and unlike almost all other modern forms of art, a crop circle's potential to enchant is animated and energized by the anonymity of its author(s). Doug Bower now tells friends that he wishes he had kept quiet and continued his nocturnal jaunts in secret. Both circle-makers and croppies are really engaged in a kind of game, whose whole purpose is to keep the game going, to prolong the mystery. After all, who would travel thousands of miles and trek through a muddy field to see flattened wheat if it were not imbued with otherworldly mystique?
As things stand, the relationship between the circle-makers and those who interpret their work has become a curious symbiosis of art and artifice, deception and belief. All of which raises the question: Who's hoaxing whom?

Like Bigfoot and UFO's, some Crop Circles are fakes and some are not. There are always those who are willing to take credit for something they had nothing to do with.
Posted by Ralph Cramden on November 30,2012 | 05:30 PM
Check out circlemakers.org. They obviously have made intricate and well formed designs in crops. Since they can be manmade and many have been for sure, the simplest assumption (not to mention logic) is that all the crop circles are manmade. I like the only example I know of in the US, the one for the Korn concert in Bakersfield CA. And see the video of the Norwegian lady 'researchers' going gaga over a design actually featuring a program logo commissioned by the BBC. I love the work of all the 'hoaxers'. But the vehement denial of all the believers (and they seem to be particularly strident in the US) is a bit scarey.

Until this moment, I believed that Smithsonian was a trusted source of scientific information; I guess it is true that "you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." Or, was this Smithsonian's April Fools Day article? Otherwise, where is your scientific evidence that crop circles are a hoax? Of course, somebody will confess just for the publicity, but why have we NEVER caught anyone in the act? Why are the circles all so perfect... people are not consistently capable of such perfection. So far, the only thing for certain is that they exist.

Of course there are many fake crop circles. Even the huge intricate ones could be done by a group of guys -it would only need an army of men with GPS (only relatively recently available) -and certainly lights, communication, maybe helicopters:- all of which would make a lot of noise and would require some serious funding. Yet some highly intricate and perfect forms a third of a mile long sometimes appear silently from dawn to dusk. No boot trails. To automatically rubbish such events isn't showing a scientific mind, but a closed one.

There is no way that human beings could have created these complex patterns in living crops that CONTINUE to grow. They are called "aliens." Give me a break. They are our family, and probably seeded the earth with people. Do we believe in God? Should we limit Him to creating humans only on this planet? Wake up, folks. Life is teeming in this Universe, and the crop circles are a way for the Others to help our planet in the form of sacred geometry.

Crop circles are among my favorite pieces of art work. They are selfless gifts to all who wish to receive them. placed within the sacrid beauty of Nature, upon earth as a canvas, these temporary beauties pass with time and always allow room for more, without crowding/clogging up the world! Energy is flowing freely within the "world of crop circling". To me, this is the epitome of beauty in a 21 century world. Also, (for me) crop circles represent "extreme art" -- like extreme sports. The form is extensively multidisciplinary, involving design, math, aesthetic sensibility, philosophy, social enthusiasm, photography, site location ability, physical agility, communication skills, scripting, etc... Article well intended!

Many of you should realize that crop circles are clearly one of three phenomenon. First, they could be generated by Yeti because they are intelligent,often leave no footprints and very difficult to see during the day. Second, they be generated by the Virgin Mary to send a message to adults as opposed to the little children in Portugal she did one hundred years earlier. One more and even better explanation is that God is directly sending us a message to do better in math in school. In any case, I keep my doors locked at night from the Yei, I pray to the Virgin Mary, and I fear God for He is all powerful.
Posted by Chuck Roche on April 1,2012 | 11:18 AM
I for one believe that those crop circles are pure public opinion manipulation. The term hoax is too weak for such a propaganda operation. It is clear that the ones behind it work by an agenda, in order to strengthen certain beliefs and weaken others. On thing is sure, those circles cannot be the haphazard traces of so-called ufos. The patterns are intended a little bit like logos. It is clear that the religion to be propagandized is the new age thing, not any form of Christianity (despite the fact that an even richer visual symbolism is already available in the Norman cathedrals very nearby), nor any form of Islam (whose symbolic geometry would be ideal for such patterns), nor any form of real hinduism (which has little to do with the new age counterfeit of it), nor any religion of the kind of those simple people having a devout faith in God and invisible forces without the help of any media or book-learning past and present, like the Breton peasants used to be, like many Haitians still are. The crop circle symbolism can only appeal to half-learned and ill-bred people already in quest of curiosities, and that is most contrary to real faith which demands persistence in simple activities such as traditional agriculture, as for instance is recommended not only by the Gospels but even more so by Zen monks. A real believer in things spiritual would not marvel at those patterns but deplore the suffering caused to the plants themselves supposedly done by evolved beings. On the other hand it is not an amateur's work, considering not only the sheer number to those patterns, but the necessary technology to achieve such an elaborate result, including the molecular transformation of the plants involved, but such a technology is available to great earthly powers, albeit costly. I don't buy that extra-terrestrial thing : real extra-terrestrials would either keep perfectly unnoticed and abstain from such ego-showing pseudo-artworks, or go and talk directly to people.

Have any of you people read even one of the many published books on crop circles? No one is speaking of the SCIENTIFIC lab analysis between the hoax circle plants and the "real thing" plants. The hoax plants are crushed and show no chemical to cell structure changes, nor do they have uniform 90 degree angle bends of all the plants. "Hoax" circles have flattened areas of crop, while the "real thing" has consistent evidence of vortices, nesting phenomena in the center of circles, and a precise weaving of all the stalks that could never be done with ridiculous clumsy use of boards. Also, crop circles have been reported since the 1700's all over the world. People who refuse to accept that there is an unseen force that is capable of making this happen are stupidly ignoring the fact that an unseen force also makes your heart beat, your fingernails grow, the sun heat our world,the planet spin, the ocean tides happen...get the idea? If you believe in "God" and that with God all things are possible, you insult that very same God's ability to BE by saying "no aliens, no UFO's, no crop circles, no invisible forces, no anything that my puny little human brain can't understand..." Be the believers you say you are when you go to your church, synagogue or other place of worship, and believe that whatever made you can do whatever it pleases, and understand that it has, it does, and it will even without your arrogant approval. Crop cirles have been made by man and they have been made by invisible forces. Have you ever heard of any forgery without first having an original to copy? People who cannot accept this idea are afraid. Just simply afraid... Of accepting that they are not the masters of the universe.

You can divide up the 200(400) among different organizations. These donations also reduce your federal income as a charitable contribution.
Question - can you take the tax credit for just one contribution per year, or if you make contributions to multiple organizations that serve the working poor, can you get multiple credits?
Icecld: Just an oversight on the upload. I'll put it up later today.
Why did you leave out "Ask A Mexican" AGAIN!!!????!!!????
Dan, that sounds puzzling. I too enjoyed Vanderpool's meaty articles and his propensity to ask tough questions. Too bad. Any chance we might have him back someday? If not, I hope his successor is worthy. :(
Nam6870vet: Wait, are you talking about the Cover-Up or a concert mentioned in an advertisement? If it's the Cover-Up, you have the dates wrong...it ran from the 12th through the 14th. If it's an advertisement you're talking about, I don't have any control over those...I don't even generally see them until the paper is printed.
So, thanks for noticing something, I guess?
Here's an interesting observation for the editor; the issue is dated the 12 of December and yet an advertisement in the paper's header is for concert on 10 December. Nice job!
We'll be there! But it's a Secret which date, venue and artist, whose Cover Band WE know the Identity of.
See Ya.
Yes in another era Uncle Tom was the kind old slave the master loved, like but no more than his favorite pet hunting dog! For those who do not see my comments connections to the column, its feelings......we all have them on a variety of issues and many of us display them on line!:-) I still think James T. Harris of 104.1 FM is a black fellow trapped in a white fellows body and proof is his denigration of black folks as lazy, shiftless, worthless and entitlement addicts, my feelings are mine and 1st amendment allows me to express them and anyone who wishes me to stop might use control of their own mind and not read my comments!:-) Have a blessed day!:-)
And this has what to do with Mr. Gibson's column?
A small mind denigrates any black intellectual who writes, orates on conservative politics. I could fill this space with doctors philosphers university professors, until my dinner grows cold of black folks who craft sensible dialogue on our nation's future. And you, you make senseless drivel about it. Pathetic.
Has anyone wondered how Jon Justice and his shill Katie Pavolich came to be connected since her days in college and being a regular guest host on his local radio show here in Tucson 104.1 FM? I mean she goes from college straight to a high paying job with a Washington DC right wing blog, gets some guest spots on Fox and Friends on the Five, just the other day was with her pal mocking the low wages paid to fast food workers, funny two people who cannot even relate to low waged workers other than maybe being served by them when they dine out have the nerve to mock, joke and laugh at the minimum wage being a poverty wage! Katie Pavolich has some strange connections to John Birch society see link
So I am not surprised at her and Jon Justice being connected, they do say birds of a feather tend to flock together, now they have imported a black right winger into the show a black fellow trapped in a white mans body who constantly denigrates his own race on air! I guess this is needed to feed the right wing white supremacists who unfortunately inhabit many parts of America!
So um, have you picked a winner yet?
From my own personal experiences on Tucson roads, elderly, demented (diagnosed and not), drivers are far more dangerous and numerous than impaired and teen drivers combined.
With that being said, Dan, you are an inspiration for us chubby guys. However, I am keeping my fat ass on the couch.
Susan: As you might imagine (and I've told you in at least one other environment) that I can't legally discuss personnel issues with people other than those directly involved. However, you're welcome to discuss the issue with Mr. Vanderpool (you're connected to him in some way, yes?) himself.
Thanks for your concern, however. Investigative reporting is incredibly important to me and will remain a part of our mission, as it always has.
Yes Dan, the weekly has changed!!! Gone is Tim Vanderpool!!!I personally would like to know why. While I can respect that you, as the man at the helm, can make any changes you would like, the last thing that interests me is your cover or the movie section. The most important issues are those that are at hand in our community and Tim was one of your best writers. So, enlighten us Dan, why is he no longer among your flock?
I hope you will find the time to reply to this post. I know about 30 people off-hand that would love to know the answer. And while that might seem like small potato's to you, Tucson really is a tight community.
Hopefully it will not seem like a minor detail to you. Investigative reporting is important to us as a community. I often relied on your paper to accomplish this. Now I am dismayed by your ethics and integrity. I have no other understanding of Tim's disappearance, other than, his articles are gone. It is disturbing to me as a reader. While I know many times you have pontificated, about how many readers follow the weekly, I feel it is important to offer an explanation to all of your readers. I'm not sure which readers are the important ones' in your eyes, but hopefully I will be one of them and you perhaps will resolve this issue and bring back Tim and his articles!!!!!(and explain) He is sorely missed!
Oh for God's sake, all you naysayers, give the guy a break. I think the Weekly's looking fine, Dan. And you're still scooping me on some stories, so in my eyes you're doing great :-)
We love you Dan, think you have done and are doing a bang up job. The fact that you do get yourself in trouble and on Romenesko is what is so endearing about you.
M Duer: funniest comment ever!!!
I'm just glad the movie times have been restored to their rightful place. What with the internet, regular phone, and giant marquees I could never figure out which "lowest-common-denominator Hollywood flick" I would be able to squeeze in between community service and the methadone clinic. Keep up the good work, Dan, and don't let the bastards get you down!

Are your tools covered with dirt and rust?
Clean, sharp, quality tools can mean the difference between drudgery and efficiency. Take advantage of rainy afternoons or the off-season to keep your tools in good shape. I'm talking about cleaning and sharpening.
Let's start with shovels, a tool every gardener uses. Use a wire brush to remove any caked on soil or lots of rust. Once you've broken through that first layer of dirt, use the steel wool to finish cleaning. Cleaning does take some time and sweat, but it's a great way to burn off calories. Once clean, give your shovel a nice sharp edge. Use a three-sided file to bevel the edge so it moves smoothly through the soil. Turn it over and remove any burrs that form on the backside. Use steel wool to clean and smooth the edge. With proper care, your tools will probably last much longer than some of those perennials you put in your garden.
Just a bit more information: Save yourself a lot of work by cleaning your tools after each use. Wash off excess soil with a strong blast of water from the garden hose. Dry with a cloth rag or an old pair of cotton socks headed for the recycling bin.
Consider enlisting some additional help when the rust is more than your wire brush can handle. Check out some of the new environmentally-friendly rust removers or follow the lead of your fellow gardeners who use undiluted white distilled vinegar. Soak rusty tools in a bucket overnight; wipe tools clean and dry before using or storing.
Invest in a vise to secure tools to your work station or tool bench while cleaning. The vise holds them in place allowing you to safely clean and sharpen. If nothing else, it is a good excuse for building your tool collection while keeping your existing tools in better shape.

I had a slow leak in one of my tires, so I requested an appointment thru the myChevrolet app on my phone. I received a reply in minutes from Bill Baremore the Service Manager stating that I did not need an appointment, just come by the Quick Lube department any time they were open and they would have a look. This helped a lot since I work during the week and live and work in Springfield, so I came down on Saturday morning and they found a nail in the tire and fixed it under the road hazard warranty i have on the tires, they had me fixed in about 10 minutes and i was on my way again. Thanks for the great service. Read More >>

We purchased a 2008 Cadillac CTS. The salesman was knowledgeable concerning options on the Cadillac. He was very helpful.

The service and the staff at Mayse Auto were wonderful, everything was the way that it was told to me, and there was no surprises. That was very important to me as I drove 728 miles one way to pick up the tracker that was sold to me by telephone. Putting a lot of trust into the sales person whom I talked to (Kelby). Even though the distance is very great, I would do business with these people again, very, very good dealership! Thanks guys! Dave Walters Read More >>

Quotes from authors born on Feb 28th
Well, I've always just - I've never really gone out looking for work. I always waited for it to sort of hit me on the head.
Frank Gehry
If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.
Michel de Montaigne
The rule in the art world is: you cater to the masses or you kowtow to the elite; you can't have both.
Ben Hecht
I did this within a philosophical framework, and a moral and legal framework. And I have been turned into a cartoon of the greatest villain in the history of lobbying.
Jack Abramoff
I approached the bulk of my schoolwork as a chore rather than an intellectual adventure.

Pillar of Success and Distinguished Service Awards
Trine recognizes Rick L. James with Pillar of Success and Distinguished Service Awards
ANGOLA, Ind. – Trine University honored Rick L. James with its highest honor, the Pillar of Success Award, during the 17th annual Touchstone Donor Recognition in Ketner Sports Center.
This Pillar of Success award recognizes individuals for their achievements and accomplishments, leadership, service, philanthropy, commitment to their community and their profession and to Trine University. The award has, in the past, honored alumni, friends, faculty, staff and members of the board of trustees.
A 1977 business administration graduate and university trustee, James has enjoyed an amazing career. He has served as chairman and CEO of Metal Technologies for the past thirteen years. Metal Technologies employs many Trine graduates and offers internships to Trine students. Rick was president and chief executive for Auburn Foundry for nine years, and served the company in various other positions, including vice president for sales, sales manager and production manager for 12 years prior to that time.
James is a current member of Trine's Board of Trustees. James was elected Chair during the Trustee's homecoming board meeting.
Rick James also received the Trine University 2012 Distinguished Service Award, which is given each year to an alumnus or alumnae who has performed outstanding service to society in his or her profession, personal achievement or community; and who has manifest interest in Trine University and has supported it by contributions of time, talent and money; by recruitment of students; or by placement of graduates.
While James continues to make a nationwide impact in industry, he has impacted the lives of many students at his alma mater. He and his wife, Vicki, have played an instrumental role in the university's annual Black and White Scholarship Gala for many years. Most recently, they spearheaded the Books and Beyond Scholarship Program, which has raised tens of thousands of dollars for deserving students who need financial assistance with textbooks, class supplies and more.
"Much of the James' philanthropy is anonymous and takes place behind the scenes," said Trine University president Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D. "Earlier this year, Rick and Vicki have agreed to lend their name to the Rick L. and Vicki L. University Center as an encouragement for others to support Trine's transformation moving forward."
