Sign Language Ban Imposed on N.J. Girl
School officials have threatened a hearing-impaired girl with suspension if she uses sign language to talk to her friends on the school bus, the girl's parents say.
Danica Lesko and her parents say sign language is the only way to for the 12-year-old to communicate, especially while riding to school on a noisy bus.
But officials at Stonybrook School — which is not a school for the hearing-impaired — and district officials in Branchburg, N.J., apparently believe signing is a safety hazard. They have sent a letter to the Lesko family ordering Danica to stop using sign language on the school bus or risk a three-day suspension.
"The Board is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to all students with disabilities, and is satisfied that there has been no violation of that policy in this case," officials said in the statement. "The Board is also committed to assuring the safety of all students who travel on District buses, and will continue to take appropriate steps to accomplish that goal."

Commenting on tax avoidance as executives from Google UK, Starbucks and Amazon speak before the Public Accounts Committee, Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson, Stephen Williams said:
"If big names like Starbucks, Google and Amazon want to make money in the UK then they must be made to pay their fair share of tax here too."It's outrageous that Starbucks had sales of nearly £400m in the UK last year and paid nothing in corporation tax."People are already speaking with their feet by buying elsewhere and the Coalition Government is taking a tough approach, investing heavily in clamping down on tax avoidance."For every £1 we spend on tackling avoidance we will get £7 back."Our message is clear; everyone, no matter how wealthy, must play by the rules and pay their fair share. Those who don't will not get away with."

so, to be really paranoid:
1. setup a hdd password
2. use drivecrypt or other full disk encryption system to encrypt the disk.
3. create a container with 2 layers with truecrypt
4. in the inner container put a password protected rar file (3.x), in the outer container some pr0n.
5. encrypt the rar file with some unknown encryption system, one you made yourself for example.
finally put the laptop in a safe where the inner side is composed of some material which will ignite at >50 degrees celsius.
If you don't give m the key / password to the safe they will have to use a torch or drill to open it. This will cause enough heat to ignite the safe itself and the laptop with it.
It'll be a hassle to work with the data every day, but if it's for storage then it should be fine
Get a big magnet and set it up with a remote and keep the remote next to you at all times. If needed, turn the magnet on. That can get a little expensive though.

I have been natural ever since I've started (A year and a half ago), and the most dangerous stuff I've tried are probably commercial fat burners lol.
I am at 10% BF now and a guy at the gym (really big, really shredded) told me about Anavar.
-Should I take it ?
-What are the possible side effects ?
-Is it okay if I stick to pill form (would it have any less results, because I'm not too fond of injections) ?
-Will anavar impact me in a way that I'll have the physique of a really shredded fitness model (ideal beach body) after a 6 week cycle at 50mg/day ? Here's a photo I took minutes ago relaxed (sorry can't embed because I'm a new poster):
If it matters, I'll still be taking 220g of whey protein/day, take 3 scoops of jack3d preworkout, and sipping on xtend during workout. Would really appreciate feedback as I might do the purchase in less than 12 hours .

Can anyone help???

Shelby County is booming. The Birmingham suburb is lined with strip malls, subdivisions, and small factories, in what was once sleepy farmland. The population has grown fivefold since 1970 to about 200,000. Change is afoot in this bedroom community, at least on the surface.
But the federal government thinks an underlying threat of discrimination remains throughout Alabama and other parts of the country in perhaps the most hard-fought franchise in the Constitution: the right to vote.
Competing voices in this county, echoes of decades-long debates over equal access to the polls, now spill out in a 21st century fight, one that has reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
"I think they are looking at this situation through rose-colored glasses," says the Rev. Dr. Harry Jones, a local civil rights leader, about the current majority white power structure in Shelby. "I think they have painted a picture to make the outside world believe that racism is no more. But if you dig beneath the surface I think you'll find what you are looking for."
A longtime county leader, however, says things truly have changed for the better.
"Here, now, in this decade, we have black registered voters at a percentage that is equal, and at some occasions exceeding, the voting of the white population," says County Attorney Frank "Butch" Ellis Jr. "It's hard to find that there's any discrimination here, and certainly there's nothing in the congressional record."
Major case for court this term
Now the nine-member high court is poised to rule in coming days on whether the key enforcement provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 should be scrapped, as a constitutionally unnecessary vestige of the civil rights era.
Known as Section 5, it gives the federal government open-ended oversight of states and localities like Shelby County with a history of voter discrimination.
Any changes in voting laws and procedures in the covered states must be "precleared" with Washington. That could include something as simple as moving a polling place temporarily across the street.
The provision was reauthorized by Congress in 2006 for another 25 years. Shelby officials subsequently filed suit, saying the monitoring is overly burdensome and unwarranted.
This case is one of the biggest the justices tackle this term, offering a social, political, and legal barometer on the progress of civil rights in the United States and the level of national vigilance still needed to ensure minorities have an unburdened path to the election process.
Test of federal authority
Civil rights groups say Section 5 has proven an important tool to protect minority voters from local governments that would set unfair, shifting barriers to the polls. If it is ruled unconstitutional, they warn, the very power and effect of the entire Voting Rights Act would crumble.
But the provision's opponents counter it should not be enforced in areas where it can be argued racial discrimination no longer exists.
The appeal presents the court and its shaky conservative majority with two of the most hotly debated issues in politics as well as constitutional law -- race and federalism.
It will be a major test of Washington's authority, and the extent to which the central government may consider vestiges of voting discrimination that may still linger, potentially keeping some minority voters disenfranchised.
The Voting Rights Act was a monumental political achievement during the Civil Rights era. It banned such things as poll taxes and literacy tests that had long suppressed black voter turnout. States like California and Texas also have a history of discrimination against Hispanic voters.
In upholding the coverage requirements, the high court in 1966 succinctly summarized the law's purpose: "Congress felt itself confronted by an insidious and pervasive evil which had been perpetuated in certain parts of our country through unremitting and ingenious defiance of the Constitution," said the justices. "Congress concluded that the unsuccessful remedies which it had prescribed in the past would have to be replaced by sterner and more elaborate measures in order to satisfy the clear commands of the Fifteenth Amendment."
The act was to expire in 2007 but was extended by Congress to 2032. It places all or parts of 15 states with a record of past discrimination -- mostly in the South -- under strict requirements on election procedures.
The Justice Department has defended continuing use of the preclearance provision in court, but the NAACP has led the charge to raise public awareness of the case.
"Closing off the paths to the polls and by trying to deter people from voting is too often practiced and trained and focused on minority communities," said Debo Adegbile, special counsel with the group's Legal Defense and Educational Fund, who argued before the justices in February. "It doesn't happen everywhere but it happens too much."
Shelby County is 11% African-American, compared with 28% statewide.
Frank Ellis and his family have deep roots there. He is a former state senator and the county attorney for a half-century. His son, Corley, serves on the nine-member, all-white county commission.
From his comfortable law offices, Ellis was persuaded to bring this legal fight because of what he says is a fundamental question of inequality in the Section 5 regulatory scheme.

EPA Violation Summary
No violations were reported for this system since 2004.
Information on violations is drawn directly from EPA's national violations database in the Agency's Safe Drinking Water Information System. Analyses by others have raised questions about the quality of the information in EPA's database. For the purposes of this investigation, EWG is not showing below or including in our analyses, those violations for individual water suppliers that occurred on days for which the total number of violations assigned by EPA to that water supplier was greater than 20. This criteria was based on common characteristics of incorrect violations data as identified by water utilities, from a review of EPA's violations data by several hundred utilities prior to the release of EWG's investigation.

Twinkle's Kitchen: Holiday Wine Pairing Tips
Thanksgiving dinner is a literal smorgasbord of different tastes, from side dishes to dips to gravies and, of course, the turkey. And after you've cooked and slaved away, pairing the wine should be enjoyable, not add more stress.
Choosing the right wine for Thanksgiving dinner can be a little tricky if you aren't sure which one pairs with what. It's not rocket science, but a little help from an expert doesn't hurt.
Arthur Black, Master Sommelier and wine educator, says forget the stress.
"The number one rule of food and wine pairing is drink what you like and eat what you like, it's as simple as that."
A few questions, however, still need to be answered. What do you like? What are your guests going to like?
J.B. Andrews, bar manager at Bluebeard in Indianapolis, recommends something a little dry, a little sweet and a little fizzy.
"One of the most palatable wines to start your dinner with is Vouvray. It's got a little bit of bubbles. That is going to help kickstart your appetite.," he said. "Vouvray isn't an over-the-top wine, it's not too aggressive. And if you like it, it could very well carry on through the meal and pair with the turkey as well."
• J.B.'s food pairings for Vouvray: cheeses, potato chips, French fries, sweet desserts, salted nuts.
Another great starter wine, and more familiar with most, is chardonnay. Nice balances of acidity, oak and alcohol level, chardonnays are a perfect food wine according to Dave Poore, an expert in wine pairing and manager at St. Elmo's Steak House.
Poore recommends this rich white wine to compliment not only your starters, but says it can be a perfect match for whiter meats, potato dishes and, of course, the classic Green Bean Casserole.
RECIPE: Twinkle's Kitchen | Classic Green Bean Casserole
It's also a crowd pleaser. "Chardonnay is one of those wines, if it's a good quality, can please most all guests."
• David's food pairings: Green Bean Casserole, mashed potatoes, turkey breast, roasted chicken, creamy cheeses, white gravy.
If red wine is what you are looking for, then Pinot noir is the best choice for Thanksgiving. This seemed to be the consensus of everyone I talked to about wine pairing for Thanksgiving.
Pinot doesn't fight with your food, says Andrews. It's got enough acidity to cut through any fattiness and pairs well with turkey and ham.
If you want to drink New World wine, Andrews, Poore and Black all agree that any Pinot coming from the Willamette Valley in Oregon is the way to go. The wines are not only excellent, they all say, but reasonably priced and accessible everywhere.
Food and wine pairing shouldn't be intimidating, says Black, but it's also a time to treat yourself. "You've spent hours preparing the turkey, cornucopias of food, sometimes you just slide on the wine. Thanksgiving is the time to treat yourself to something nicer."
• Arthur's wine pairings: Turkey, ham, darker leg/thigh meat richer side dishes
Tips for wine pairing:
- White wine shouldn't be confined to spring and summer. Whites are wonderful with a lot of fare prepared during fall and winter, especially feasts like Thanksgiving.
- Don't put too much stock in vintage. Although important, reputable wineries will make great wines at any vintage. Find one you like, and most everything they make will be great.
- You don't want extremely high alcohol wines when pairing. The alcohol can overpower any flavor from your food.
- You need sugar in your wine if you have sugar in your food. Sweeter wines are the best choice when pairing with desserts.
- Be adventurous! Pick something you've never tried before. One of the best parts of drinking wine is sharing and trying new things.

Yes it is about taking rights away and the auto argument is silly. Rights vs. privalege.
Have you read the Heller or the Miller renderings of the court? I thought not. It is about removing rights and as we all know by reading history, registration always leads to confiscation. Always.
If gun owners give in now it will never stop until we are simply working for the state a slave to what others wish for us. No thank you.

Parks Canada
Home > National Historic Sites > Prince of Wales Fort National Historic Site > What's New > Fort Wall Stabilization Project
Parks Canada has undertaken a multi-year program to stabilize the walls of the Fort. Water freezing and thawing for 250 years within the rubble interior of the walls has contributed to the weakening and collapse of some sections of the walls. Throughout the summer engineers, archaeologists, and stonemasons will be seen working.
Large wooden trusses have been placed to shore weak sections of the wall. Step by step, the stonemasons take apart and then rebuild the section of wall supported by a truss. So far the work has been completed at 2 trusses on the southeast bastion. This is the wall visible from Cape Merry Battery across the Churchill River. The stonemasons carefully remove the outer face stones, stabilize the inner core stones, and finally reset the face stones back in their original locations, just like putting a puzzle back together again.
Meanwhile, the archaeologists work ahead of the crew. They complete archaeological investigations of the ramparts before any other work goes ahead. One of the most exciting discoveries was a previously unknown section of the original 25-foot inner wall constructed between 1731 and 1740. Hudson's Bay Company records implied that this section had been dismantled at some point between 1742 – 1771 when the walls were expanded to 40 feet thick.
An important part of the project is the installation of a drainage system on the walls. Over 100 boreholes were drilled in the south, east, and north ramparts and the SE and NE bastions. These drain water from the top of the Fort to the footings and ground water. Moisture monitoring sensors were placed in several boreholes to provide constant, accurate information about the moisture levels in the walls. The next step is to install a waterproof membrane on the ramparts to channel water rain and meltwater into the boreholes to drain.
Parks Canada is working to preserve Prince of Wales Fort for future generations. Parks Canada staff on site at the Fort will be pleased to answer your questions about their work.

Trailing 6-0 in the early going, the Buena Vista wrestling team then got momentum with a technical fall and back-to-back pins to help send them past visiting Briar Cliff University (0-6) on Tuesday night, 30-13.
Sophomore Casey Paprocki got the spark started with a second period technical fall, 17-2, at 174 pounds before junior Brian Broll and senior Joe Klinkel recorded back-to-back pis at 184 and 197 pounds, respectively. Broll, wrestling at 184 pounds after competing at 197 during the first half of the season, improves to 23-1 on the year while Klinkel notched his 11th win.
The Chargers got within 17-9 after winning the heavyweight match 3-2, but junior Austin Mogg, ranked fifth, quickly pushed the margin to 23-9 with a 32 second pin at 125 pounds, while running his overall record to 24-7.
Luis Flores, who led Briar Cliff with 13 wins coming into the meet, posted the team's final win at 133 pounds before the Beavers closed things out with freshman Steve Gutschenritter's 15-1 triumph at 141 pounds followed by fellow freshman Hunter St. John picking up a 6-1 victory in the final bout of the night at 149 pounds.
With the win, Buena Vista evens its season record at 3-3. The team will continue its home slate on Thursday night, as it welcomes top-ranked Wartburg College (11-1, 1-0 IIAC) to Siebens Fieldhouse for an Iowa Conference match-up beginning at 7:00pm.

Saturday, was it? Your one crept up upon American critic Keith Tuma, near to a street exhibit of squeaky squeaky musician marionettes fixed by wires to some impressively impassive invisible cranking / pedalling, leant well back giving it a siiiide-long stare, then there's a very slight nod of approval & your man fishes for a coin.
No pic. Anyone got a pic? (At the corner, Mike Wallace-Hadrill with a Black Peter ("here's one I made" BOOOM AAARGH) rollie or "secret agent," oblivious to the puppetscape let alone the imputed discernment of its foot traffic natural constituency).
Keith praised the work as it "ventriloquized intelligence and wit."
Rachel read, 11 Days & something else I can't remember. Then Reitha. I was a replacement for Gerry, Gerry for Peter & Peter for me. Previously (see previously) a rumour rabbit ran panicked through the pews that Reitha wasn't coming either. "Reitha? Nice to meet you." "Yes! I think we've met." That's why poshos say, "How d'you do." You can add ". . . that weird thing with your jaw blent on glitch?" or whatever, &, safe. Reitha read from Some Fables and something else. It was delicate, ultra-erudite, polysyllabic-symphonic stuff. From Some Fables:
No deluge: now the dove's mouth
carries grass. The undersong of
the "economic cosmos" is heard in
the meadow where the herbicides
work swift harm for a margin like
inharmonic blue prairie fires. In
this one, sous get stone again, miser
bereft, the pain is phantasmal or
in the pocket, coffered in the grove
in locked land of external goodness
for: "who dothe enuy at the treasury?"
I read a series of crude shirk tactics. Redell and nick-e were mortified they'd both used tiny "me" puppets during their readings. I don't really know how to take advice. "[C]ultivate the little apple / to counterweight the jewel" (James Cummins)? I think not knowing how to take advice is probably one of the silver linings of the UK's critical constipation. The poo doesn't come through so the silver collects as a residue. I can give advice yes.
& even though I may advise, "Adam & to some extent Mark, don't try to fill up the time you're allotted, then you're less likely to go over," and even though I may coax, "John, tell us less about the poems & read more of them, from over a longer period of time," & even though I may guide, "Rachel, read just that fast, but try scattering some sections into little bursts, interspersed with pauses, so that the words wind up in people's working memory can uncoil & start to crash into consciousness, just as you start up again," & even though I may caution, "Keith, do whatever you did this time, but don't do whatever you did that other time, and ditto Gerry, to a lesser extent, & also bring the SINE wave of the 'commentaries,' which sometimes definitely overlap the 'poems' & sometimes don't, slightly closer so they overlap more often, though I know it's too late; it would also help the poems if you lived on a boat," & even though I may posit, "David, they were beautiful poems which I was more than happy to roll around in, like a cur in ivory tower turds, & then forget – & in that sense they are at odds with your prose & letters. All it would take are a few fewer adroit placings & a few more dense & confrontational maxims, of which you clearly produce ten before breakfast, to gloss them & they would pulse in me yet I bet," & even though I may tremble, "Justin, read the whole glossary to Song City, sing Pringle with surtitles, which I can mock up if you like, & be calm, & unlike versified sports (cf. q.v.), at least once either before, during or after your reading," & even though I may counsel, "Reitha, in case you've heard differently, the swaying around in the microphones no fly zone was fine – but tell me just a few things about the poems to get me started," & though I may yet bell you, "Geoff, I hate the online Irish dictionary," & though I may yet tell you, "Karen, I have no notes, though Steve, when you suggested I stop listening, I did for about three minutes – too much deferral?" & though sometimes I may instruct, "Sara, prepare a Powerpoint presentation, like in band camp. And respect the Irish people," & furthermore coach, "Trevor, rewrite the words for performance, adjusting away from the wrought & towards the prosaic – otherwise everyone's eyebeams (cf. Donne) get stuck on the actual signifier's orthography replete with hazardous gouging serifs, & the things mentioned remain hazy apparitions," & in the quiet of the evening though I may murmur, "Sam, get a second opinion on your poem glosses before you bust those pups out. Or skip the second & get a third. Learn to love the cur Jiggy: for she is like us," & even though soon I may even determine, "Peter, drop the more rare words into your conversation in the days prior to your reading such that their context will automatically elucidate them. Do the menacing flashback you did to me to James, only without having spoken to him first," & even though I know for certain, "Alice, stick around. Scott, a few funny voices never hurt nobody. & you could thereby differentiate the nicked stuff. Jimmy, wear a stetson. Fergal, read naked, on your belly, with Pepsi in your anatomical snuff box & peacock feathers stuffed up your anatomical vase. If you spill one drop, leave & never return. Randolph, calmly evaporate. Condense elsewhere, facing the other way. David Toms, let's roll – read our poems no more! Laura, clip one toenail with each line. Treasure them in your palm, then the other. Feeder Mate, petite bisous? Thomas, attend every reading, thereby satisfying yourself of the festival's music deficit. Then open your mouth as wide as you can and emit a deafening peal of bells. Sarah, go on so. Steve, Tess, do something about Vanessa Place. Mike, awake with the eye gunk web pinning you, stridgel, shower, shave, tux, suck-face for breakfast, all troop. Name me after a sweet gunmetal grey dolphin & laugh," I don't really know if I mean it; the advice – I kind of don't care about it or for it, & I certainly don't know what its wider implications are. Is it another category error, applying the general habits of a bespoke & pampered & entitled life to a corner where they doubly don't belong? I think the space between preferences & what's best is undertheorised, basically (NOTE).
Afternoon session. James Cummins read from his new booklet Origins of Process & from work-in-progress FLASH BANG, the latter a lot faster. It was a different fast from Rachel's – not as fast, more semantically jagged & there were more rappy moments in it. There was a sing-along. For breakneck it was very lucid – clear, for instance, that "Lincoln was a line dancer." The Origins sequence is pensive, some phenomenological stuff with words like "syntax" & "identity" shifting in & out of, & overlapping with ("The road as dark as the air in front of me") glimpses of landscape ("leaving silt, revealing the road doubling back on itself") & all kinds of linguistic detritus more-or-less welcome, though not too much of it, & kneaded in with ginger care. For some reason the lines I liked most were "one of us / still in jammies or in night dress" (maybe a stupid one, like the play of "jammies" & "Jimmy"). I wonder if he's read my PhD on certain theological aspects of Tom Raworth's Ace?
Justin Katko read mostly recent work, including "Rhyme Against the Internet," "Wario Moped," a "Song City" fragment with some glossage & he sang songs from The Death of Pringle, which when it was written was the first new poem for almost 200 years, & now is imminent from Veer. "Negatively ringing from the Adversary's grip." "Infidels, you showed up at your own funeral just to fuck us." I talked myself into liking the hard-line line fragment. The text is partly withheld, as it might be with a very timid reader, but the opportunity cost of the text — what there might have been, if not the text — is different, in a way which might be crucial in understanding fragmented "texts" (whose sheared surfaces glow raw in sociological space) rather than fragmented "words on the page."
We are brilliant in viscosity
At this oceanic depth,
Inlaid with differential moss
Accumulating in our breast.
Oh once we reach Aklavik,
And once we reach Lodi,
Oh once we reach Tilden,
And once we reach Covehithe –
I will dress you up in streamers
So to rend those colours flying,
To the smashing of our femurs,
Eaten, spent, and over-piling.Eternal in Acroceraunia, we
Are melting through our fingertips,
Which be negatively ringing
From the Adversary's grip –
Oh that we'll bind him
Far from the savage
Liquid tress gate
Where your legs meet,
East of your ankles
Which in coitus be anchored, yes;
You will light the path to leap
And you will stake the ground,
Which undertows the ruddling
And the keening of our crown.
Mark Weiss progressed with assurance, & a variety of jiggles to keep time, through incantation, aphorism, anecdote, bald wordplay & a whole splay of other modes. "The revolution will not be marketed" was the maxim which struck me most & it struck me in relation to the vogue, plausibly the ethically as well as metaphysically necessary vogue, for insisting upon certain contradictions in thought as real contradictions with material bases, which should not be pretend-dispelled by being displacing elsewhere or by being dissolved in stipulated vocabularies. What is insistence in this context? Is it a legacy issue, to do with the beards projected of our brood, whose fontanella still close, miraculously dead to the world? To do with that & sleeper cells? My hunch is that this insistence is marketing. Another possibility is that it is even marketization. A real Buddhist thread in Mark's stuff too, which made me wonder about the recent incursion of Buddhist philosophy into postmodern Christian theology. "You will lose a finger, but it won't be yours." "The thing about the ephemeral is that it's ephemeral. That's what gets you. The thing about the ephemeral is that it's ephemeral." "Bone-smasher, that tooth is gone, & [I've forgotten], his friend." & something about being permitted to refuse to be reborn. Which re, Mark confessed he'd gone on too long. Yes – although to be fair, I think the previous five readings had all come in under time, disfiguring the shared standard of the phenomenal half hour. I'd've liked to talk sexual politics (especially the yuck faculty sex queue – cf. the "male staircase" where Alice Notley wound up) plus Buddha with Mark – I got a brief post-gloss from him about an attempt to lay bare the evidence of life rather than to take up its stories and voices.
Saturday evening. Steve MacCaffrey flushed me down inside some ice along with it along the ice. Some of his stuff seemed very good at bleeding into pragmatics without exactly betraying the words themselves, especially via patter segue. Do you know what I mean? Like, if "in" your poem you take off your shoe and chuck it at, say, Josh, you are foregrounding & utilising the paralinguistic and extralinguistic conditions of the production of meaning, but your technique is not credibly essential to your poem – maybe it's part of the performance, something like that, but it beggars taxonomy to keep it in the same set of lockers you keep semantic content, for example. The first poem was an experiment in deferral which divisively indexed a number of those present, & proposed who would & would not like it. It never really got to it, although of course it also was it. Is Steve an evil poet? Don't answer too quickly. The first time I went to SoundEye I met someone called Kobra who claimed to be an evil poet whose poetry "made the world a worse place to live in" & I haven't seen him since which is a bit worrying. "Universal access to paedophilia." & there was a poem where we all had to get out our mobiles & then actually needn't've. I liked the later poems best – cerebral, funny, weird.
Peter read from a book he bound himself with a binding machine he bought very cheaply in Lidl – but they seldom have them. "Deracinate earache in a spider's eye." "Freckled pelican." The way in which Sourdough Mutation makes annotation difficult is by its own abundance. "Regarding ling." If you put anything in your head about Sourdough Mutation you may just lazily be not being arsed to put some more Sourdough Mutation in your head. "Adjoining ninja." Sourdough Mutation contains a prosodic machine which feeds itself the poems' past to produce their future. There are duplications, rotations and flips at the letter grain, and the phoneme, word, impression, polysemy, concept, echo and I think "intermediary" grains. (It is also therefore covered in ghasts of implied and excluded words). The manipulations are prosodic in an enlarged sense. They can be called mutagenic. But the mutagen machine is entirely at the service of a commitment to concrete imagining. That commitment is fed & governed independently of the machine. (NOTE) There is a faint question, as with the epic list, of order and honour. (Cf. the epic list in "john hurts [from idiot]"). It slightly reminded me, oddly, of recentish work by Stephen Emmerson. It slightly reminded me of earlier works by Peter, for instance, The Baffle Stage, and Adjunct. Peter also said that after he finished writing Sourdough Mutation he still had something of it in him. I guess it was the mutagen machine. For the viaticum of sourdough he made the machine flow a final self-containing effluvium. He also read this final poem / exterior coda. Adjunct seemed to give me stamina by allowing me to think sentences which it would have admitted were true. It vouchsafes a straightforward sense in which prosody (in a sense only slightly enlarged from the usual, a sense similar to the stipulative "mutagen" sense) is cognitive. That is, getting used to the voice of Adjunct teaches you to replicate it with respect to life which confronts you. Sourdough Mutation is not so straightforwardly available as a resource. It is catchy, but the disposition is not an inhabitable autopoiesis. Even so. Blessing in sorrow is moreish. Earlier Fergal Gaynor, not me, in strict confidence characterised the plain people of Ireland as "humorous and melancholy" – I trust you will keep it to yourself – in the context of sketching an extraordinarily absorptive pan-Ideological quietest ideology in Ireland. But he gave a good imitation of the not boundless patience of the plain people of Ireland, plus their blasé prodders leaping along behind.
There was an odd sound-link between Peter & Alice Notley, I think to do with the more-than-customary amount of emphasis. (Cf. Simon Jarvis on John Wilkinson's "unfree verse" maybe). She said at the beginning that she had a perverse belief that poetry was better for telling stories for prose. "Oh. I forgot to say. Marie is writing – a codex." There's a bathtub. "You might well think to protect yourself. What more can be done to me? she said. Plenty, he said." In the story, Mercy is tired, but she can't turn them down. Frightening, foul, lovely, chatty, heartbreaking, brutal, brave, craven, cravy, grievy, mysterious, hilarious, wishy. It made me think of: (a) bits of Dorn's Gunslinger; (b) Jennie Nuttall, who did for instance the cover of a Scotland Cleaves; (c) Kathy Acker ("I have to do what Daddy says. He makes me real"); (d) bits of George Macpherson, & that's just me, but something for ghosts to think about is, sometimes inside I'm hart musk.
Later your one & Steve & me invented I think the double-punchline joke. You need an accomplice.
STEVE: What kind of tea do computers drink?
CELEBRANT: Uh . . . electricity?
STEVE (simultaneous, front): PC TIPS! (starts running immediately)
ACCOMPLICE (simultaneous, back): LAPTOP SOUCHANG! (ditto)
NICK-E MELVILLE (simultaneous, nobody expected it): IT! (bats eyelids, lingers)
NOTE: But I'll tell you what they told me. Reitha (England) said it was good to melt everyone a new arsehole & she had anticipated it (not the arsehole) going on forever. Sam (England) said run that porno rationale by me one more time? cris (America) thought my stuff was being held back by – argh, I can't remember, it sounded good! Something like in-crowd sourcing, provisional community shout-outs mapping. Karen Mac Cormack (America) said, "Do there have to be so many similes? We get it." I think we need all the similes we can get! Also you requested a non-linear sing-a-long ball, whereupon I kneed myself in the groin after Peter Manson. Then I kicked myself – I should have kicked myself! Steve (America) mentioned a bunch of stuff, mostly drawing parallels with precedents. Andrea Brady & Marianne Morris at least had had to pull out, & I think maybe someone else & I tried to mention why in my reading & also change the part that had been a response to John Hegley's glassespo, the better to recognise flaming pigeon cris cheek, Karen Mac Cormack pelican crossing & Gandolf Healy (& sort of Steve Willey, Tessa Whitehouse, Peter Manson, Scott Thurston).
NOTE (unlinked): If I found just the same prosody machine at Lidl I could use it, but the two workstreams would be like chalk and Chong. I guess this is just an unsubstantiated claim that the deep reciprocal implication of certain senses of knowledge & prosody in this poem are not sufficient to each other but imply & require some kind of third term.
NOTE (unlinked): Gender & understudies. Injustices big & small are propagated via temp special circumstances which supposedly are non-generalisable. Cf. state of emergency à la Schmitt, Benjamin & Agamben. In fact special begging is profoundly general. Obv. An extraordinary sequence of events is where our most general norms are likely to be found.

Anti-Biotin MicroBeads have been developed for indirect magnetic labeling and separation of cells or other biological materials that are labeled with a biotinylated primary antibody or ligand, or with a cocktail of biotinylated antibodies.
The biotinylated molecule is recognized by a monoclonal anti-biotin antibody coupled to MicroBeads. Anti-Biotin MicroBeads have the advantage of not binding to free biotin, which is often present in culture media. This feature provides the most sensitive labeling and separation of cells.

In our digital marketing and e-commerce careers guide, published at the beginning of the month, we put together some of the industry's best advice on how senior digital professionals can improve their career.
As so much great advice was contributed that we couldn't include in the report itself, we've been publishing blog posts featuring the commentary we received.
Last week we asked whether it was better to be a generalist or specialist in digital marketing, and the week beforehand we asked what attributes were most sought after in senior digital professionals.
This week our contributors answer the question: do digital leaders need both client-side and agency-side experience?

What's in a name? Well, if you believe the digital versus direct debate that has been raging in the marketing industry recently, the answer would be 'a hell of a lot'!
On the one hand, digital agencies are criticised for being overly focused on a channel, whereas the 'direct' guys sit across different channels but are tainted with a historical focus on spammy practices and tactics.

Many marketers still find themselves spending hours of time having to review raw query reports with the slight hope that keyword expansion tools might be able to help them identify those key terms that their campaigns are missing.
Adding new keywords and refining match types might be important for optimisation, but it's not necessarily the fastest way to increase volume. Often, advertisers focused on growing their paid search programs pay too much attention to keyword expansion activities.
This isn't surprising, especially given the multitude of keyword tools out there such as Wordstream, Trellian, or Adgooroo, each promoting their own version of keyword data.
However, once marketers have built out their core search programs, the process of adding long-tail terms can require a massive expansion and yet only return a slight impact on traffic volumes.

Digital marketing campaigns sometimes seem to have drifted too far from the products they exist to promote.

If you were to ask digital marketers how effective their marketing budget is at delivering results, they'd probably share some great statistics about metrics, return on investment and customer engagement.
The fact is that while few will admit it, not many companies are getting maximum return on investment for their digital marketing efforts.

text: Sitka is one of Alaska's most historic cities, and the strong Russian influence of its past is still apparent today. In 1804, Local Tlingit natives battled Russian forces along the city's shores in a 6-day siege and eventually lost control of the area. Then, in 1867, the Russians finalized the deal to sell Alaska to the United States here. Today, Sitka's Russian Bishop's House is one of the few remaining examples of Russian colonial architecture in North America. The city is on the west side of Baranof Island overlooking the Sitka Sound, and is home to attractions like Sitka National Historical Park and the Alaska Raptor Center.

It looks like Jamal Lewis can get a jump start on that trucking business he wants to start with Nate Newton and Bam Morris. He's done playing football after suffering a season-ending concussion. Vince Young might want to stay off his radar if he doesn't want to get the Hoge treatment from him.
Jamal Lewis Archives
Jamal Lewis, Nate Newton And Bam Morris Should Go Into Business Together
Say it ain't so, Cleveland. Jamal Lewis is going to pack up his bags and retire at the end of the season. The bruising running back is sick of losing and he isn't going to take it anymore. He's got bigger and better things to do like build his trucking business.
"The decision I made had nothing to do with this season, how it's going or whatever. It really didn't," Lewis said. "My whole decision was based on my [trucking] business and what I have going on outside of football and things that I want to be able to give 100 percent to. I can't do that right now because I'm here. I've got to give 100 percent to this."
Sheeeeit! Why didn't you say so, dawg? If you want to build your trucking business, you gotta go to the godfathers. Forget the Mafia. Nate Newton and Bam Morris are where it's at when it comes to trucking. If Lewis is smart, he'll get together with those two and create a trucking powerhouse. 200 yard games aren't anything compared to moving a couple hundred pounds of Mary Jane across state lines.
Think about it. Who knows how to make the deals? Lewis. Who knows how to transport it? Newton. Who knows how to distribute it? Morris. One stop shopping at its finest. It's a combination that can't lose. Fuck Parker Lewis.
I can see the commericals now. Toby Jones should be the spokesman.
They can get Jonah to do the music. He also does a bad ass Chop Suey. If he costs too much, a guy from DC playing some go-go beats on buckets would work too.
"Call LNM Trucking when you need to move that stinky stinky today. And you know this, man!"

Jane E. Michael of Boca Grande, and formerly of Marion, OH passed away on Dec. 23, 2011, after a brief illness. She was 87-years-old.
The News - Obituaries
BY JIM LABINSKI - Great prizes and a few new twists abound when animal lovers and tennis fans converge on the Clubhouse Restaurant at the Boca Grande Club on Wednesday, Jan. 25 to celebrate and raise money for the Suncoast Humane Society at the Tennis Ball.
Festivities begin at 6 p.m. Sixty percent or more of the $100 ticket will go to Suncoast. Artwork, photography, wine and jewelry baskets, golf and party packages are among the silent auction items up for bids.
The News - Featured News
BY SANDY ROSS JACOBS - We skipped our annual trip to Italy this summer. A combination of circumstances brought this about. First, I was in the middle of having a tooth implant. I had been through a year of preparation for this, and July was the target month for finishing the procedure.
Anticipating all sorts of side effects, I felt safer staying within the country. Along with this, the economy was failing fast and we decided to spend our money on our home turf. But most importantly, our daughter, an ex-pat living in Denmark with her husband and kids, was particularly homesick for the U.S. and wanted to spend some time with us and her gang at the place we had enjoyed so many summers long past: the Jersey shore. And when she speaks, we listen.
Craig Borden Wolcott of Cape Haze, Fla. passed away suddenly at his home on December 23, 2011. He was 68.
She calls herself a "traditional, representational artist." Her love of flowers and the land around her is obvious to anyone who sees her "Florida" or "Inland" landscape galleries, or her series of "In the Garden" botanical paintings on her website, shandorfpastels.com. Dianna Shandorf loves Florida, and she really loves a pastel medium. She is, however, a Minnesota girl.

Menopausal Stoners World Headquarters to Remain in NYC
Simultaneously, Velvet has been admitted into New York State's premier university: SUNY Binghamton. Binghamton has worked very hard to compete with the Ivy League, and if you can believe all the press, has accomplished that mission. Velvet would prefer Binghamton over SUNY College of Environmental Sciences and Forestry because he already has friends to party with at Binghamton and the girls are more attractive.
Parties and Girls seem to be Velvet's highest priorities when it comes to choosing a college which is why University of Colorado at Boulder is his first choice. Notably, the only two college applications Velvet filled out on his own were University of Colorado at Boulder and Denver University. Everything else required substantial parental involvement which in our happy little home means plenty of attending drama since I will get theatrical when I'm agitated. In the meantime, Rice University has rejected the boy, and that suited him fine since he was flat ass opposed to living in Houston. Can't blame him for that. So his task is to convince Boulder that he should pay the same tuition to attend their school as the Colorado Residents.
All this college stuff will be settled by May 1 since that is when everyone has to sign on the dotted line.
I was still getting used to the idea of being here indefinitely yesterday morning when my buttroy assistant allowed a pot of candle wax she was melting for a project with the kids to ignite while simmering on the hot plate in the classroom corner. Most of the kids were over in the block area, and the fire never spread beyond the pot, but the moment did illustrate the bullshit involved in working with her. Making candles with a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds had been her big idea from the beginning, and she had convinced me that she knew 100% everything about making candles in baby food jars.
Having never made candles myself because the whole idea sounds like too damn much trouble to me, I was not aware that wax should be melted in a double boiler. I simply saw the direction she was headed and had informed the office that she was fixing to set off the smoke alarms in the building roughly three minutes prior to the pot catching on fire. Fortunately, the office is right beside my classroom, so I just had to shout for the fire extinguisher and they all came running.
The kids found the scene highly entertaining and were pleased to go to the roof playground a little early yesterday.
I was looking forward to "retiring" to Austin this summer, but it seems that all is right with the world anyway. My contract with Buzz Kill runs through 2012. Velvet is delighted that he can continue dropping popcorn all over the floor in familiar surroundings when he comes home from school. He couldn't have all his friends over to play Dungeons and Dragons until 4:00am and sneak a blunt on the terrace at Buzz Kill's primarily because (1) Buzz Kill has no terrace and (2) Buzz Kill carries on about disturbing Vagina Denata. As much as Velvet adores Vagina Dentata - who, for the record, loves Velvet to pieces - her apartment is not conducive to teenage activities. Plus Velvet would have to sleep in a maid's room that Vagina Dentata turned into an enormous walk-in closet. There's a twin bed in there among all the hats, shoes, handbags and clothing archives, but it's not an ideal location. Buzz Kill has been living in the room where he spent his own youth ever since he stomped out of this place a couple of years ago.
As a good Bokonist, I know that things happen As They were Supposed to Happen. There are worse fates than being forced to remain in a big, sunny apartment on Central Park West especially when the trees are finally fixing to burst into bloom.
Besides, as soon as Whole Foods opens across Columbus Avenue, my place is practically an Austin Outpost on the Upper West Side.

HUGE congratulations to Velvet for his acceptance to a great college. And congrats to you too Mom.
You seem resigned to staying in NY for a while longer.It all makes good sense.
The candle wax fire? I agree with you that making candles seems like way too much work. I have entertained the idea, using all my 'candle ends' ..it never moved past an entertaining thought. :-).
You are way cool
Love Gail

Congratulations to Velvet on being accepted for college. How would you feel about him going to Colorado? Surely his priorities of parties and girls are wholly healthy for his age?
I look forward to hearing more yarns from NYC.

University of Denver is where my third husband got his PhD in Creative Writing. In my humble opinion DU is a shit hole. And Denver is like the Windy City without all the charm and culture. I hated Denver, but I was supporting a petulant asshole who was sleeping with undergraduates in his spare time while I was slaving away.
You live on Central Park West? You bitch! You haven't even invited me to visit. I would give the rest of my teeth to be in you position. Can you see the shade of green I have turned? - March 29, 2009 at 4:29 PM

Utah, one of the small gratifications in this life is having someone you envy be envious of you. Must be some sort of twisted mutual admiration thing.

• rife •
Printable Version Pronunciation: raif • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Highly prevalent, occurring widely and profusely, filled with, packed with. 2. Occurring in great numbers over a wide area; superabundant, plentiful, abounding in.
Notes: As we will see in the Word History, today's Good Word is a genuine English word, not a borrowing, which means it is subject to the original English comparative forms, rifer and rifest. The adverb is rifely and the noun, rifeness, though they are rarely used.
In Play: Today's Good Word is particularly appropriate as we approach Thanksgiving in the US (November 22), when we stop to give thanks for the bounty of our lives and particularly the rifeness of the land: "The country markets are rife with freshly picked flowers and vegetables this time of the year." But then rifeness can be a blessing or a curse: "My e-mail is so rife with spam I can barely get to the messages I want to read."
Word History: This word, as mentioned above, seems to be an English original. The Germanic languages are rife with relatives: Dutch rijf "abundant," Icelandic rifr "abundant" and Norwegian riv. Icelandic reifir "giver" may also be related. It does not seem to be related to ripe (German reif) and reap, even though the semantics of all these words touch: ripened fruit is usually reaped at the height of its abundance. Clear evidence, however, is lacking. (I hope our thoughts today are rife with words of gratitude to Chris Stewart for suggesting a word inclined toward US Thanksgiving from his home in South Africa.)

Designed specifically for compliance monitoring of inorganic anions in accordance with US EPA Method 300.0 (A) and 300.1, the Thermo Scientific IonPac® AS22-Fast represents the culmination of more than 20 years of column development, and is a key complement to our award-winning Reagent-Free™ IC system.
- Super-Fast isocratic separation of the common inorganic anions in under 5 minutes
- Carbonate peak well-resolved from the common inorganic anions
- Same selectivity as AS22 column
- Meets performance requirements specified in US EPA Method 300.0 (A)
- Fast alternative for AS4A-SC, AS12A, AS14, AS14A, and AS22 inorganic anion applications
- Simple, accurate eluent preparation with the AS22 Eluent Concentrate
- Optimized for a 30 °C operating temperature to ensure reproducible retention times
The AS22-Fast is designed for the fast determination of inorganic anions and low molecular weight organic acids including fluoride, acetate, formate, chloride, nitrite, bromide, nitrate, phosphate, and sulfate. The AS22-Fast can be used with isocratic carbonate/bicarbonate eluents and suppressed conductivity detection. Common inorganic anions can easily be separated in a variety of sample matrices including drinking water, wastewater, process streams, and scrubber solutions.
The AS22-Fast can be used in combination with the Eluent Generator and the Electrolytic pH Modifier (EPM) which automatically produce potassium carbonate/bicarbonate eluents from water. The AS22-Fast column is the newest carbonate eluent column recommended for super fast analysis of inorganic anions and is a faster alternative, using carbonate-bicarbonate eluents, for AS4A-SC, AS12A, AS14, AS14A, and AS22 inorganic anion applications.

How Far Will a 5 Star Hotel Go to Keep a Guest Happy?
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Services
Five star hotels don't get that rating simply by having the highest thread count sheets and gourmet room service meals, they will bend over backwards (literally if need be) to keep their guests happy. So that begs the question: how far will they actually go for a client?
It might surprise you. From sending staff to get iPhone training at a local apple store (so they can help a guest learn to work hers) to last minute damage control and orchestration of a wedding proposal involving a hot air balloon, they really will do it all. Read about more crazy stories here, and if you have any of your own please share!

Sinclair Lewis: Main Street36. CHAPTER XXXVI (continued)She got so far only because Kennicott was slow in shaking off respect for her. Now he bayed: "That'll be about all from you! I've stood for your sneering at this town, and saying how ugly and dull it is. I've stood for your refusing to appreciate good fellows like Sam. I've even stood for your ridiculing our Watch Gopher Prairie Grow campaign. But one thing I'm not going to stand: I'm not going to stand my own wife being seditious. You can camouflage all you want to, but you know darn well that these radicals, as you call 'em, are opposed to the war, and let me tell you right here and now, and you and all these long-haired men and short-haired women can beef all you want to, but we're going to take these fellows, and if they ain't patriotic, we're going to make them be patriotic. And--Lord knows I never thought I'd have to say this to my own wife--but if you go defending these fellows, then the same thing applies to you! Next thing, I suppose you'll be yapping about free speech. Free speech!
