Budget Increases for Nuclear Weapons Production at the Expense of Social Programs

In the new budget request for 2011 the Obama Administration proposes to freeze discretionary domestic spending for programs such as education, nutrition, air traffic control and national parks for three years while dramatically increasing funding for new US nuclear weapons production facilities. Meanwhile the proposed budget for dismantling warheads retired from the stockpile is down by 40%. Funding for a new nuclear facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory to be used in direct support of plutonium pit production, the CMRR-NF, is increased to $225 million requested from $97M in FY10 (+132%). After FY11, funding is proposed to triple the FY10 amount to $300 million for each of the following four consecutive years.
Funding for a new "Uranium Processing Facility" (UPF) at the Y12 production plant near Oak Park Ridge, TN, is proposed to increase to $115M from $94M in FY10 (+22%). However, its big money is in the following four consecutive years, climbing to $320 million by 2015 (in all a 240% increase from FY10 funding). Totals costs for both the CMRR and UPF are still "TBD" [To Be Determined], meaning they don't know, but each will probably cost $3 billion or more.
Outside of the federal budget, groundbreaking is expected this Spring on a new privately-financed ~$700 million Kansas City Plant for nonnuclear components production for US nuclear weapons, subsidized by Kansas City municipal bonds. This pretty well spans the spectrum of future US nuclear weapons production, with big increases for new facilities for plutonium, uranium and nonnuclear components. At the same time, the Obama budget proposes to cut dismantlement from $96.1 million in FY 2010 to $58 million.
Obama is preemptively surrendering to the nuclear weapons labs, the for-profit private corporations running those labs, and the 2/3rd's Senate majority including Republicans needed for treaty ratifications. All of these special interests explicitly seek to extract more taxpayer funding for nuclear weapons programs in exchange for ratification of a renewed bilateral arms control treaty with Russia and a long-sought-for Test Ban Treaty.
We went through this a decade ago, when the nuclear weapons complex got billions of dollars and but ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty failed. History is getting ready to repeat itself, this time with the nuclear weapons labs seeking the capability to produce future new-design weapons. Obama's new budget begins to give them just that, welfare for warheads that can't be used while American public needs are not adequately met.

Aleurodicus rugioperculatus
Aleurodicus rugioperculatus (known variously as the rugose spiraling whitefly, the Gumbo limbo spiraling whitefly or just the spiraling whitefly) is a species of whitefly found throughout the Florida Keys.[1] The fly was first described by Jon H. Martin in 2004.[2]

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Dave Bolland scored late in the third period to
give the Chicago Blackhawks a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues on Sunday.
Duncan Keith also scored in the third period and Marian Hossa added an empty-
netter for the Blackhawks, who are on a much needed three-game winning
streak after dropping their previous nine. Corey Crawford stopped 29 shots
in the win.
Andy McDonald had the lone goal for the Blues, who had won six of seven coming
into the contest. Brian Elliott turned aside 24-of-26 shots in the loss.
St. Louis got the only goal of the first two periods late in the first when a
scrum in front of the net saw Jamie Langenbrunner kick the puck towards the
goal and McDonald get his stick on it before it crossed the line with 24
seconds left.
Elliott had stopped 13 shots through the first two periods, but Chicago tied
the game 4:52 into the third.
Patrick Sharp had the puck at the top of the left circle and faked the shot
before passing it over to the slot for a cutting Keith, who blasted a one-
timer into the net.
The Blackhawks then took the lead with 6:57 to play. A slap pass from the left
point by Keith went to the low left side for Bolland, who tried to center the
puck, but saw it bounce off the skate of St. Louis' David Backes and slide
into the net.
Hossa sealed the win in the final minute with an empty-netter, his 23rd goal
of the season.
Game Notes
Chicago hosts Detroit on Tuesday...St. Louis hosts Boston on Wednesday before
embarking on a six-game road trip...Chicago was 0-for-3 on the power play
while St. Louis went 0-for-1.

Half-Time Oranges (and Blues): How to renew the Coalition while Preparing for the Next Election
22nd September
Partners: Institute for Government and Policy Exchange
- Jeremy Browne MP
- Tim Farron MP
- Akash Paun, Senior Researcher, Institute for Government
- Stephen Tall, Research Associate, CentreForum
- Peter Riddell, Director, Institute for Government (Chair)
Akash Paun began by explaining the key findings from his recent IFG report, 'A game of two halves: How coalition governments renew in mid-term and last the full term', which identified two main challenges at the halfway point of coalitions.
First, the initial coalition agreement can be overly binding and act as a constraint on innovation. To tackle this, he argued, an honest and open assessment of what has worked and what hasn't is needed. This may not necessarily require a new coalition agreement, but government should at least publicly reaffirm its top priorities.
Second, natural electoral cycles mean that as we approach 2015, both the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives will feel more pressure to distinguish themselves. Paun cited examples from Germany and Scotland where smaller coalition partners have been able to increase or maintain their support by securing popular and high profile policy wins while sticking closely to their larger partners' policies on other large and often painful policies. This approach allows smaller parties to secure a strong identity while also gaining a reputation for governing competence.
Tim Farron argued that pulling out of the coalition would represent the worst of both worlds: the Liberal Democrats would lose governing competence as well as many of its natural supporters. Moreover, the Liberal Democrats must last the distance to show that coalition government and a pluralist approach to politics can work for Britain. Indeed, there was broad agreement across the panel that the coalition must last until 2015. He also suggested that a formal 'Coalition 2.0' would not be sensible, but agreed that it would be worth taking a stock check of progress on the government's reform programme. He also warned of being overly concerned with the agreement, as most of government's work requires reacting to events as they happen.
The Lib Dem president argued that the Lib Dems must stay in the centre, moderate yet radical. He believes that that David Cameron's green husky project has failed because the right of his party is still angry that they did not win the election outright. Despite this, he stated he was comfortable in coalition with the Tories because, as an obvious marriage of convenience (rather than the potential Ashdown-Blair ideological union), the coalition protects the party's identity.
CentreForum research associate Steven Tall echoed Farron's thoughts on the dissatisfaction of the Tory right and put this down to a lack of internal democracy. Whereas the Lib Dems voted on the coalition agreement and have a mandate, the Tories never consulted their members which has led to distrust. Tall argued that in spite of disaffected backbenchers, the two parties can work together for clear policy wins including cleaning up politics and banking.
Jeremy Browne described himself as unashamedly 'Proalition', which he sees as good for Britain and good for Lib Dems. The country benefits from strong government; Browne recounted a conversation with John Major in which the former Prime Minister opined that the current government is stronger than the Conservative government over which he presided. Coalition is also good for the Lib Dems, Browne argued, because it is the first time in his life that Lib Dems have been able to implement their policies. Rather than being commentators, the party is now a participant, and rather than being protesters, it now wields power.

PALM COAST, Fla -- John Pavlos of Flagler County took his jet ski out for a spin Monday off of Bing's Landing in Palm Coast.
"I'm just having a good time on the Intracoastal Waterway," Pavlos said as he smiled.
However, he did not know about the health department's precautionary warning about a potentially deadly bacteria - vibrio vulnificus - found in warm brackish and seawater.
"That's surprising," Pavlos said. "I had not heard about that yet."
Nine people in Florida have died this year from the bacteria. Henry "Butch" Koneitzky, 59, of Palm Coast was one of those people.
"It's horrifying. Totally horrifying," Debbie Stack said. Koneitzky was her brother-in-law.
She says last week he died within 28 hours after contracting vibrio. Reports indicate the bacteria shut down his kidneys and liver.
"They did everything. They tried multiple antibiotics," Stack remembered, "Nothing was touching it. Nothing even phased it."
He had been walking knee deep in the Halifax River in Volusia County, setting crab traps last week.
Health officials say people should avoid eating raw shellfish and going into the water with open wounds.
There have been 26 cases of vibrio in Florida this year, but not all of them were fatal. One case was in Duval, another in St. Johns, one in Flagler and two were in nearby Volusia County.
As for Pavlos, he wants to know more information before going into the water.
"It's a little alarming. I guess," Pavlos said. "It's kind of taken for granted that everything is calm, and you wear a life jacket -- like I was -- and you think you don't have to worry about anything else."

Narendra Modi seeks 300 seats for stable NDA government
BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narandra Modi today asked voters in Himachal Pradesh to give at least 300 seats to the NDA front as a weak government at the Centre could not bring out this nation from the deep morass it found itself to be in.
Mr Modi, who addressed three rallies in the state, met party workers at Solan where he demanded that all the four seats of this state should go in favour of the party.
The Congress virtually put this nation in a deep gorge and the country need a powerful person to bring it out from there and he would able to do so if he would get 300 seats at the Centre.
'Desh aaj kahi main pada hi jisai bhar nikalanai kay liya aik Takatwar Kandon ki Jarurat hai per main aisa tab kar pawnu ga jab aap mujhai teen soa Kamal Khila kar daingay 'Mr Modi said.
Wooing youth voters, he cautioned them that they should opt for strong and progressive rule in the Centre so that their next five years did not go in vain.
Mr Modi also praised the people of this hill state who are serving in armed forces in large number. The farmers of this hill state play an important role in the national economy but under UPA rule they were forced to commit suicide due to anti-farmers' policy.
The Congress government has almost changed the meaning of slogan 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan' by its wrong policy against them, Mr Modi said saying that Congress had now changed this slogan to 'Maro Jawan Maro Marro Kissan'.
Earlier Mr Modi addressed public gatherings at Palampur and Mandi.

Most of us have had at least one amazing teacher who inspired, influenced, or encouraged us to do better, aim higher, or just be more confident. However, most of us have also had at least one teacher whose lackluster performance in the classroom contributed to an academic setback. In Teachers Matter, Marcus A. Winters, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, argues that our failure to identify and reward high-quality teachers has been devastating for public school students. The question is, how do we sort out the good teachers from the bad? Winters shows the shortcomings of the current system, which relies on credentials and longevity, and spells out a series of reforms based on results achieved in the classroom. For the first time, standardized test results offer an objective, reliable measure of student proficiency that can be tied to an individual teacher. Sure to be controversial, Winters's plan will be of interest to the education community, policy makers, and parents concerned about the future of education in America.
View Education Conference Video
Marcus A. Winters is senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and assistant professor at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. His research has appeared in several academic journals, including Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, Education Finance and Policy, and Economics of Education Review. In addition, his articles and op-eds have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, New York Daily News, LA Times, New York Post, City Journal, and National Review.
"Marcus Winters makes a clear and compelling case that teachers
are the most important aspect of schools, which ought to persuade those
opposed to rewarding effective teachers financially and identifying the
ineffective ones that they are jeopardizing student performance."
"In this remarkably accessible volume, Marcus Winters deftly
summarizes the latest research on how to best select, motivate, and
retain effective teachers to improve our nation's schools. It won't be
easy, but this is an invaluable guide for what needs to be done."
"Marcus Winters offers an analysis of American education's most vexing
challenge that is clear, beautifully written, and utterly persuasive. . . . He
is a master of taking complicated issues and explaining them in simple,
easily understood terms. This is a book that everyone interested
in improving the public schools needs to read."

Lonely fight for Sevilla-A A +A
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
MANY of my friends are asking me why primetime television news programs are giving too much importance to the mauling case involving noontime show host and movie comedian Vhong Navarro. Since this issue came out the other day, it has occupied a big portion of the airtime of TV news programs. Competing stations are "feasting" on the case.
Well, I won't question what we call in the journalism profession as "editorial prerogative" because I could end up questioning my own network. GMA 7 Manila has been following up the case.
I explained to my friends that one of the elements of news is prominence. Had the personalities involved in that mauling incident been ordinary persons, the media wouldn't have given it importance. But since those involved are prominent people and the circumstances of the case are unique (love and violence), it has become a hot issue.
But I won't give airtime and print space to this issue in my radio commentary program and in my column. While many people, especially the "masa," like this kind of news, we can't get anything from it. It's their own doing and I know that the protagonists are all lying.
Sa Tagalog pa, "Hindi na ako makisawsaw dyan." Leave that issue to the entertainment world.
Newly installed Bureau of Customs Commissioner John Philipp Sevilla was here the other day to meet with his people in the Port of Cebu and with some businessmen. He also opened several abandoned containers.
I understand it was his first visit here since he assumed office replacing Commissioner Ruffy Biazon, who voluntarily resigned following reports of his alleged involvement in the pork barrel scam when he was still a congressman of Muntinlupa.
Sevilla revealed his plan to cleanse the bureau. He said he would initiate reforms so the bureau can regain its positive image and will become a corruption-free government agency.
I don't know the personal background of this guy but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. Still, granting that he is very honest, his envisioned reforms in the bureau are too ambitious. I think that even if we put a cardinal in that bureau it will not be cleansed of corruption.
I am afraid that what he said was just "pakitang gilas" that he is incorruptible. He warned his people here not to receive bribes and not to extort stakeholders in the import and export industry.
Asa ka dili modawat og padangog o mangilkil sa mga mga negosyante? Bisan gani og legal
imong produkto, padug-on ka man gihapon.
Granting that Sevilla is not corrupt and he is toeing the anti-corruption campaign of PNoy, but can he control the people around and under him?
There are syndicates and groups in the bureau that prey on importers. If you attempt to bust them, it's as if you are touching a house of bees. Morag makahikap ka sa balay sa putyokan.
These groups can even hire public relations people to launch a negative publicity campaign against possible targets, also using their contacts and connections either in the mainstream media or among so-called "hawshaw media" (who receive monthly takes from corrupt bureau officials). And it's happening even in our own port. The "take" is shared every Friday.
Don't tell me that bureau officials use their own money to pay unscrupulous media men. They get it from importers.
It will be a lonely fight for Sevilla. And because there is big money in the bureau, I'm afraid that he might be swallowed by the system. What I mean is, he will become corrupt, too.
There is a saying that "if you cannot lick them, join them." I have known many people who are righteous but when they joined politics and were employed in graft-ridden government agencies, they also became corrupt. This is how our corrupt system works.

BM&FBOVESPA launches new commodity derivatives for the sugar/ethanol sector
São Paulo, January 28, 2013 – BM&FBOVESPA begins trading today new commodity derivatives developed for the sugar/ethanol sector. The first of these is the cash-settled crystal sugar futures contract. The contract is authorized for trading from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (São Paulo time), with after-hours trading from 2:35 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., under ticker symbol ACF and as of the April 2013 contract month. Each futures contract is quoted in Brazilian Reals and the contract size is 508 50-net kilogram bags.
Call and put options on the cash-settled crystal sugar futures contract will begin trading tomorrow (29). These are American-style options which can be exercised at any time. The unit, ticker, trading times (excluding after-hours) and contract months of the option contracts are the same as for the futures contract. The crystal sugar contracts prices the product delivered at the port of Santos in the state of São Paulo, for domestic consumption and for export, and will be settled based on the Santos (SP) BM&FBOVESPA Crystal Sugar Price Index.
New anhydrous fuel ethanol
As of today trading shall also be authorized in the new anhydrous fuel ethanol futures contract, with physical delivery. The contract is authorized for trading from 9:00 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. (São Paulo Time), after-hours trading from 4:05 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., under the ticker ETN and as of the May 2013 contract month. Each futures contract is quoted in Brazilian Reals and the contract size is 30 cubic meters (30,000 liters). The contract price formation will be based on prices from the Paulínia region (São Paulo state), which is the largest fuel distribution hub in Brazil.
Complete portfolio of sugar-energy commodities
The launch makes BM&FBOVESPA into the first exchange in the world to offer the productive sector a complete portfolio of sugar-energy commodities with three complementary contracts: cash-settled crystal sugar, anhydrous fuel ethanol with physical delivery and cash-settled hydrous ethanol.
The BM&FBOVESPA initiative represents an advance for the sugar and ethanol production chain in Brazil. As of now the agents in these markets will be able to execute hedge and arbitrage strategies between the three contracts in local currency and on a single electronic trading platform.

To cut a long story short: R. Bjonnes said that garlic is bad for meditation (he went so far as to call it a "brain toxin"). A lot of people were pretty upset about it; William Harryman wrote an article refuting Mr Bjonnes' claims, and extolling the health benefits of garlic; Mr Bjonnes wrote a refutation to the refutation, and so on.
Here's what I think:
Garlic is toxic, but not to the brain—to our higher, subtle awareness. That awareness is not brain-centered, although most people think it is.
In this article:
- I want to explain how both parties in the recent debate about garlic are right!
- I also want to share some very useful information with you about the nature of your being, and
- I'll share with you some practical tips, including a free, instant remedy for Jet Lag…
When I first saw the original article…I thought nothing of it, except that I was mildly pleased to see the subject broached on a popular forum.
I have not eaten garlic or onion for 10 years. However, I'm not obsessive about it; if I'm in a restaurant or at a friends' home I'll eat it without a thought.
I stopped eating garlic and onion when I trained as a yoga teacher in India in 2001. I learned many, many fascinating things on that course. For example: the ideal consistency of the feces of a healthy person is that of a ripe banana. Useful huh?! I thought so too…
Well, I learned a lot of useful information on that course. I recall thinking at the time that these things should be taught in schools – why, for example, did I have to wait 27 years, and travel to a distant continent in order to find out what my stools should look like? Why, after an expensive public school education in England, did I know the date of the battle of Hastings (1066) and various other utterly, utterly useless bits of information, but not these simple things that affect my everyday life?
During the month that I spent immersed in that course, from early morning to late at night, I felt as if my real education had just begun…
One of the things that I learnt is that according to the ancient yogic teachings, a human being consists of not just one, but three bodies: a physical body (which we're all very aware of), an astral body (which sounds to many people like pure hokum, I know, but bear with me!), and a causal body.
Now, the 3 bodies have 5 'sheaths' (if you thought the astral body stuff was hokum, you'll love this!). The physical body is composed of the Food Sheath (when you die: food for the worms!); the astral body contains the Vital Sheath (think: energy), the Mental Sheath (senses, thoughts, doubts, and emotions, also the sub-conscious), and the Intellectual Sheath (analytical process, discrimination, decision making, and ego).
Finally, the causal body is composed of the Blissful Sheath (bliss, joy, calmness and peace).
Vital (energy)
Mental (senses, thoughts, emotions)
Intellectual (analysis, discrimination, ego)
Blissful (bliss)
The point of all this is: we are complex beings, ironically not unlike onions! We consist of many different aspects. Peel back one 'layer', and there is another underneath.
Now, the whole garlic-eating debate seemed to hinge on a basic misunderstanding that many people have (because it's one of those things that they don't deem important enough to teach us at school).
Our physical body is the densest, most material, gross manifestation of who we are. There is a subtler layer beneath it (or around it, or pervading it) known as the astral body, and an even subtler layer called the causal body.
Our society is focused (like tunnel vision and to the exclusion of all else) on the material. Awareness of the subtle aspects of our being is limited to small groups of people.
That's my understanding of what Einstein meant when he said:
"The rational mind is a faithful servant. The intuitive mind is a sacred gift. We have created a society that honors the servant, and has forgotten the gift."
The rational mind is concerned with, and grounded in the material world – our body, and it's physical environment.
The intuitive mind is more concerned with, and grounded in the higher awareness – energy (prana, chi), emotion, intellect, bliss.
However, the tunnel vision of our society has not always been so. Thousands of years ago in India, the sages who developed Yoga had intimate knowledge of many things that our modern sciences are only now discovering.
For example, on my yoga teacher training 10 years ago there was a lecture by Amit Goswami, a now well-known professor of theoretical physics. (If you've seen the movie 'What the bleep do we know?' then you'll have seen him). What he said blew my mind. In a nutshell, he explained that much of the knowledge of quantum physics that has emerged very recently in the scientific community was already known thousands of years ago!
Now, the misunderstanding that I referred to (as the cause for confusion in the 'garlic-gate' episode) is quite simply due to the lack of awareness that most people have about the more subtle aspects of themselves! (It's understandable because we're not taught about it – we learn about what happened when, and algebra, and oxbow lakes, and 'stranger danger', and grammar, and how to dissect frogs… but not about what our stools should look like, or what we actually are)!
Garlic of course has many wonderful health benefits (as the rebuttal to the original articles clearly showed) – including for the brain. However the ancient yogis never said (as far as I am aware) that garlic is bad for you physically; they said that it interferes with the higher, subtler aspects of the consciousness. They were not concerned with the physical health benefits of garlic, because they didn't need them!
They almost certainly had optimal health (check the link for an very relevant article about what health really is), a highly robust immune system, and extremely strong, healthy bodies. They didn't sit all day in cars and at desks; they didn't have to worry about pollution, genetically modified vegetables, or genetically engineered (Franken) fish. They developed the practice of asana and pranayama and lived in harmony with their environment.
So, I'm confident in my assertion that they were healthy.
I've been practicing yoga (in all it's aspects) for many years, and I find that I also don't need garlic to stay healthy. If ever I need antibiotics, sure, I'll get them from natural sources where possible: and garlic is one of those sources.
Yoga is personal development: in fact, one of the oldest methods of personal development; one that has stood the test of time; and upon which many modern systems are built – Pilates, auto suggestive relaxation techniques, various techniques for concentation and meditation, and so on…
Personal development means development of the person. And Yoga, as we've seen, takes the view that our person is much, much more than a body. So it means developing the physical, energetic, and causal bodies, so that we become truly coherent and integrated as a whole person.
When the physical body is healthy and you want to focus on developing your higher faculties through regular meditation; when you want to experience the world around you not only through your physical body but also through the astral and causal bodies; perhaps even, ultimately, to experience true, lasting bliss; then, it may be that garlic interferes with that purpose.
Certainly that's what the ancient yogis thought, and who am I to disagree with the only teachers I ever had that taught me what my poo should look like?
Another very useful thing that they taught me, which I hope will demonstrate to you very clearly why I hold what they say in such high regard – bear in mind that they didn't have jets 5000 years ago when yoga was developed – is a cure for jet lag…

Ben, nice article. Especially the yogi poop wisdom, which I also learned in India. One friend, though, spent time in an ashram where they ate so many bananas that it became difficult to distinguish between the poop and the real thing. Very subtle science, indeed!
But seriously: I did clearly emphasize the physical health benefits of garlic in my articles above. Indeed, we should increase our research in these health benefits and isolate their compounds from those not so good for the mind. For now, I use turmeric, especially liquid, as an antibiotic, as I think it is as effective as garlic. Good for the astral body and the poop, too.
Hi Ramesh,
I know you emphasized the health benefits… and i fully support your articles, as I think you know… I do think it was a slight error to state that garlic is a brain toxin though… but on the other hand it got a lot of peoples attention, and in this case I think that was good. So…
Ben, point well taken, and I do appreciate and have understood your support! I used the words brain toxin mainly to draw attention (mind toxin does not sound as powerful, does it?) But more importantly, this issue is complex, more studies needs to be conducted on both the benefits and harmful effects of garlic. Moreover the brain and the mind are intimately linked and I am not at all convinced it is all great for the brain neither. I have received many personal emails from people after these articles were posted of them reporting "brain fog." And yesterday I talked to a long time meditator who ate garlic by mistake and was "knocked out" with the same spacey fogy experience, which are similar to those reported by Dr. Beck. Anyway: mind and brain, the yin and yang of consciousness are an interactive pair, indeed.
Natalie, sounds as if you are working hard, and working hard to balance your hard work with good health!
So, if I have any advice for you it would be keep up the good work!
Love, Ben
ps – thanks for the support, it's gratefully received!
Natalie, I would try turmeric instead of garlic. I recently went to the dentist and was prescribed antibiotics but took turmeric instead and my dentist is happy with the progress. There are so many natural remedies that can substitute for garlic: turmeric and ginger (both great against colds) are some of the best. and lots of greens and berries.
and ginger is great or the Vata digestion…
Here's what I (and Lewis Blackj) think: Everyone is different. We're like f''ing SNOWFLAKES. There is NO one recipe for longevity success. We are ALL DIFFERENT. Want to test the theory? Start interviewing old people. My Mama is 92–she lives alone, gardens all day long, and needs little outside help to take care of her house, yard, and gardens. She eats a little of mostly everything. She doesn't NOT EAT anything, and she has no grand design for what she DOES eat. She eats what she wants, when she wants to. Doctors have tried to tell her "you can't eat this". Well, good luck with that. She does what she wants, and it WORKS. Back in the day, when she thought she should LISTEN to Doctors, she had cancer twice, a heart attack, and a very minor stroke. She survived them all, and now–SHE calls the shots, for the most part. She says she doesn't get "worked up" about odd pains in her chest or head, or whatever. She says she's ready to die, but she thinks she's going to live to be 108. I think she's got a good shot at it. I'm following HER lead. Whatever will be, will BE.
Thanks friends. I keep reading about the wonders of tumeric. I am currently practicing my own homemade chai for this winter and it has LOTS of ginger. Diane, your mom sounds AWESOME. I constantly envisoin myself as an old lady gardening, chasing kids out of my yard and naysaying doctors…hope I make it! My Polish grandparents lived way beyond 100, even after surviving wars, camps, more wars and they all lived off sausage and coffee.
Diane Marie, you're so lucky to have your Mama at 92… and you are right, there may not be one recipe for longevity, and who says we are supposed to live that long anyway. many great saints died rather young, but they lived for hundreds if not thousands of us in one short life (Vivekananda was 39). Genes, or in ayurvedic terms, our prakruti (constitution) makes up for most of it, how long we'll live etc. Our genes may be set for 80, and if we live very healthy lives, we 'll live until 100, but if we drink and smoke, we'll die younger. Most very old people have one common characteristic, though, they do not do anything extreme, they are gentle to themselves and generally lead happy, satisfied life. A good mind is the key to health. Good diet is the frosting on an already good and wholesome cake.
In other words, yoga and ayurvedic health tips are about regaining and maintaining balance, and very old people generally lead more or less balanced lives, but no need to be a health freak to live to be very old. My great grandpa lived until 99 and basically dropped dead one day after chopping wood. He was into herbs and lived healthy, in a common sense kind of way.
How we feel on the inside is the most important thing, our diet can certainly help us feel and live better, but it cannot buy us happiness; that comes from a deeper place.
Your chai sounds awesome Natalie and you seem to have good Polish genes! Good combo!
"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long…"
I'd swap one moment of true, unbridled happiness for a long lifetime of mediocrity – not to say to Diane, or anyone else, that you or your parents lives are mediocre! But I live for true joy and happiness in myself and others, and consider long life to be unimportant in the greater scheme of things.
Ultimately, whether you live for 20 years or 120 years, it's a blink of the eye to Mother Earth. It's what we do with our time that counts; and how we feel as we do what we do.
Wowzers. That's an interesting dream… 5 cloves of roasted garlic huh?!
Yes, it's amazing how much what we put in to our *body* affects our mental state. It bugs me that no one told me that when I was a kid. Instead I was given McDonalds as a 'treat'… rewarded with junk!
Of course, when you look at the world through fresh eyes, and realize how everything is SO connected, it makes perfect sense. The trick of course is to always have those fresh eyes… but I know, sometimes those little roasted cloves look so GOOD!
Thanks Lynn
ps – by the way, I'm dreaming OVERTIME at the moment. Every night I have incredible dreams, and that's really something unusual for me.
Fantastic article, Ben. Of course I read it after eating about 5 cloves of roasted garlic that I had tossed in with our potatoes (I swiped as many as I could see). My sleep was disturbed and I had a dream that a kid knocked my son's head off and it turned into a pumpkin. Not a good time. I'm still learning how what I put into my body impacts my mental state. ~Cheers, Lynn

just replied in wrong spot.
Quite disturbing. I couldn't bring myself to look at the pumpkin/head. I LOVE GARLIC. My dreams are usually quite vivid and have been since an early age. Elevators + stairs have been the recent theme. I ate CRAP as a kid. Lucky for me, my metabolism was very fast. Even ate candy bars for lunch in high school along with multiple cans of soda. No wonder I felt anxious! Cheers
Hi Ben,
You bring up an excellent point about education. I feel that there are so many relevant life topics that if communicated during middle school / high school, people & society would be so much happier & healthier. Let's make education relevant for these young children and come from a place of compassion, understanding, love and nurture the entire being rather than the simply the mind. From my experience as a student and and as a teacher in a public school system, children spend way too much time outside of themselves instead of delving into their inner wisdom and self. Slightly off topic, I know, but I feel strongly that public schools can do a better job of determining what is important for children to learn and make adjustments for students to have a more satisfying, worthwhile experience. Interestingly, public school teachers and counselors and taught in their training a conformist view of education ~ let's not make wakes, lets make administrators look good, lets not ask questions and in the long run, its our children who are given a great disservice. It makes me so sad.
Hey Helene,
Makes me sad too. Really sad.
I worked in schools too, and with youngsters (15 – 25) who had been totally failed by the education system (and parents)… and were consequently labelled 'failures' themselves by said system. So, so sad.
More and more people are aware of how destructive and corrupt our society is – more and more people are waking up to the impact it has on the environment, on our health, on our unsustainable economies… but it seems that very very few people are willing yet to give the education system a complete overhaul – which to my mind is what's needed in order to address our long term problems.
The trouble is, change frightens people. So as soon as a politician comes out and says "let's overhaul (anything)" he gets attacked.
I voted for Tony Blair simply because his slogan was: "education, education, education".
But i didn't see any real change, even after his 8 years in power. (perhaps because he forgot his promises and replaced education for war? – would be funny if it wasn't so frustrating huh?)
My kids will have a very different education than I did, that's for sure! Perhaps at home…
All the best, Ben
[…] sight to another (but never wasting too much time at any of them, as we had a schedule to keep!). Still tired from our early flight, we dragged our feet across the picturesque Pont Neuf, bee-lined our way through the verdant Jardin […]

This is a rustic park bordered by the Ouachita National Forest. The sites are grass, and required two blocks to get level--not too bad. There was only one picnic table for all sites, which was an inconvenience. During the night we experienced power issues; when measured with our multimeter we discovered intermittent voltage so we turned off the power for the rest of the night. It seemed fine in the morning. Some sites have fire rings while others had none. The single men's and women's bathhouse showers are old but clean enough. There are two showers and a toilet in the laundry area that were more modern and also clean. This park seems to be a headquarters for folks using the ATV, mountain bike and hiking trails in the Ouachita forest, and its location is ideal for that. Our stay was peaceful, quiet and pleasant. The owner was nice and helpful. We'd return. - leorah

Great location in an area of OK that surprised us with mountains etc. Nice park that could use some TLC - sites not well delineated - some long term. Owners want to sell and travel themselves! Cable TV was fuzzy but that could be due to location. Wi-Fi was good. Good location to ride on the Talimena Scenic Highway and eat at Pam's Hateful Hussy Diner. Would stay here again. - Retired FL CSM

This park is a gem in a great location. Basic but has what you need, and everything works. Owners are very nice and friendly. Spaces are grass, some partly shaded, good-sized. Laundry was small but functional. Talimena Byway and Ouachita National Forest are right there. Stores and gas stations are not, so stock up. I would definitely stay here again. Very good Verizon phone and Internet service there. - JA1800

Hi All,
I installed an automatic subscription php-script on my website, to allow visitors to subscribe themselves to my mailing list.
All works fine except to mail-adresses of hotmail. These mails doesn't reach the hotmail-mailbox. I get the error "unrouteable domain".
Does anybody know what I can do on this problem????
I searched the web, found some things but none of these 'solutions' works for me.
Thanks in advance.

I thought I'd take you through a peek inside one of my favorite places in the neighborhood. Radish is a new gourmet shop here in Williamsburg that has the vibe of an old school general store. It's the place I go when I want something homemade and fresh — but am too lazy, or my refrigerator's too empty, to cook up something myself (consider it guilt-free takeout.) I adore how the entire shop is set up, simply charming. Gray Staub dutch ovens are lined up with the day's prepared hot meals — all with twists on flavor and often many local ingredients. The current menu of dinner foods includes braised Long Island duck legs with a housemade kimchi and half roasted Bobo Farms chicken marinated in yogurt and spices. Wow, right?
The cool vintage refrigerator (they call Dylan) in the front has been restored and works. They also make their own drinks at Radish. I had a plum spritzer that day which was fantastic. And they always serve homemade ginger ale and Irving Farm coffee.
I'm absolutely obsessed with the aprons that all the employees wear at Radish. They are quite simply the best aprons I've ever come across. Not feminine nor masculine — a utilitarian gray fabric with pockets and soft leather ties. From day one, I've been asking for them to sell these aprons (which were made specially for them.) Here's hoping someday.
And the stripey straws! They sell Jack and Lulu's stripey straws! A bunch of paper straws are at the counter, too, so you can grab a free stripey straw for your spritzer.
I love how Amy and Laura of Radish have filled the shop with so many vintage finds. From the vintage sugar tongs to the antique cakestands, it's inspiring to see all the found pieces in the shop. I also love this chalkboard idea they came up with: they had two large chalkboards built and an artist friend painted drawings of the in-season fruits and vegetables for each growing season. That's the summer chalkboard (on the back is spring.)
I'm a huge fan of their sandwiches. I pretty much lived on their steak sandwich for a couple months — the sandwich is made with gorgonzola and balsamic-strawberry jam on ciabatta bread. So good. I ordered a bunch of those steak sandwiches for our Father's Day outing — it was the perfect portable lunch. For summer, they've been carrying some amazing lobster rolls (and I'm a picky lobster roll eater since I get them all the time when we're in Maine.)
Radish also sells some of the best-of-the-best picnic essentials. The tiffin sets are identical to the ones I got as a gift for our wedding — and use all the time. I love their wool picnic blankets with the leather sash tie. They also sell OOTS lunchboxes, biodegradable plates and silverware, and more.
You can actually buy a bottle of one of their homemade syrups to make your own ginger ale or plum spritzer — they also sell their yummy balsamic vinegar by the bottle. The packaging is pitch perfect.
Even their coffee bar setup on a vintage stove is super cute.
Of course there is an iconic radish salad at Radish. Did you know there are so many varieties of radishes that there's always one in season?
A big thank you to the Radish team, and Amy and Laura, for letting me take over their shop with my camera. But mostly, thanks for giving Dan and me a healthy takeout option when we're too lazy to cook at home. It's always a treat to pick up food from your shop.
If you're in the area, I highly recommend picking up a lunch or dinner from Radish. Or just stopping by for a peach rosemary sprizer and a stripey straw.

Richard Murray, 83
Richard Murray
formerly of Bainbridge Island
Dec. 25, 1925to May 16, 2009
Dick passed away peacefully in Salt Lake City.
Born in Beverly Hills, CA, he joined the Navy while barely 17, served as a team leader in Underwater Demolition Team #9 and proudly carried a special license plate UDT#9 on his vehicles. During his naval years he earned two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star.
Graduated from Kansas State University, he met his future wife, Liz Barber, at an Austin Healey Owners' Club meeting in Manhattan Beach, CA. Together they won many trophies for sportscar rallys. In '57, he hired on with the FAA and the couple spent two years travelling the 11 western states as a field engineer.
They settled in Salt Lake City where they raised three sons. Their vacation days were always spent camping, boating, hunting, in Utah, and Idaho. 1972 sent them to Bainbridge Island where he was project engineer on the SeaTac airport expansion. During his time on Bainbridge he taught his family to sail, and built a 37' sailboat in the side yard. It was his pride and joy.
He retired from the FAA and went to work for Martin Marietta for 5 years.
He is survived by his sons Mark (Vikki), Scott, (Vickie) and his uncle and aunt, Arlo and Billie Murray and many grand- and great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his youngest son, Doyle, in 1985.
In lieu of flowers, please feel free to donate to any animal shelter, as Dick had a soft spot for all creatures. A menorial will be held May 30 in Salt Lake City.

Guest testimonials
Here is what previous meeting planners thought of their meeting at the Wakefield Mill
"I attended a conference at the Wakefield Mill and the venue was excellent. The meeting room was well lit, and for breaks we were able to step outside and enjoy the fresh air. In the evening it was nice to walk the paths and have the ability to sit at the various seating areas along it. Sitting and enjoying the water rush by was very relaxing, I would certainly recommend this facility to ours. Thanks so much to all the great staff."
Heather C., via Trip Advisor, June 26, 2014
"Recently I had the pleasure of attending a Business Conference at Wakefield Mill. The Lester B Pearson Conference Room and the bedroom itself were both in the Eco-Lodge up the hill from the Mill itself. Arguably they do not have the heritage 'character' of the mill but they more than make up for this in modern, luxurious, comfortable, tastefully neutral & SUSTAINABLE accommodation for business or leisure travel. The staff were welcoming and efficient - they will even get you a brolly for the walk to the mill if there's a downpour.
Davis H., Toronto, via Trip Advisor, June 23, 2014
"I came to the Moulin Wakefield Mill for a company training retreat and enjoyed the experience immensely. The rooms are comfortable, the setting is beautiful, and the facilities and restaurant were great. I recommend this hotel highly."
Alexander K., via Trip Advisor, June 23, 2014
"On behalf of the Minto Properties senior management team and myself, I would personally like to thank you for hosting our meetings on December 9th and 10th. I appreciate the great efforts put forth by you and your team during these sessions and meals. The staff were very helpful and catered to our every need. We thoroughly enjoyed our meeting space and the delicious food! Everything was very well organized, and all attendees were very pleased.
David Zaltzman, General Manager, Customer Experience/Hospitality, Minto Group Inc., January 2014
"I recently hosted 40 people for a 5-day course at the Wakefield Mill. I have held this course in other venues before but never have I said I would go back. However the Wakefield Mill was a perfect place for our group. The food was excellent, as was the customer service and, of course, the ambiance. I liked that our meeting room was in a separate building from the restaurant so we always had a short jaunt during meal breaks. And to my knowledge, everyone in the group was very happy with the experience. I will definitely be holding another course here in the future."
Erin K., via Trip Advisor, February 2014
"I am writing to express my sincere thanks to the Wakefield Inn team for the support they provided to the Annual Association Christmas Dinner. Everyone thought the evening's activities were first class. The Inn's ability to accommodate our many requests were all greatly appreciated. The food was top notch and the service provided under Jean-Pierre was world class. Such accolades were echoed by all in attendance. Once again, thank you for all your efforts in making this year's dinner truly one to remember."
Ottawa Association, December 2013
"Thank you very much for all your hard work to make our stay here at the Wakefield Mill so memorable. We very much appreciate your support throughout the whole process and your kindness and resourcefulness during the event."

Ike Davis injures oblique, likely out for the year
Ike Davis left Saturday night's game with a strained oblique.
Davis appeared to injure his swing on a sacrifice fly in the third inning.
Update – September 1, 2:15 PM: Davis will return to New York and be examined by doctors at the Hospital for Special Surgery this week, the team announced.
Update – August, 31, 10:40 PM: Terry Collins told reporters he expects Davis will miss the remainder of the season.
Collins said Davis is unlikely to go on the disabled list because rosters are expanding tomorrow.
Michael Baron, ContributorAugust 31, 8:06 PM: During a time Ike needs to demonstrate his abilities, this is not what he needed. Hopefully this isn't a big deal, but side muscles and obliques appear to take around a month to heal. If that's the case, his season could be in jeopardy. I also can't help but wonder if this was Ike's final game as a Met…
This does open up opportunities for Josh Satin, Lucas Duda and Wilmer Flores, should Ike miss significant time.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gearheads have scoured junkyards since the fenders first came off an old flathead Ford V-8, pulling parts from piles of scrap to piece together their high-performance street rods.
Decades later, it's time to do the same to your stock investments. The resurgent car-parts business might be the perfect place to start, particularly as the sector has tapped the brakes along with broader market this past week.
Not so, according to David Silver, an auto analyst at WStreet.com.
"Auto parts suppliers have had a great run since March of last year, but the fact remains, there is room to move higher," he said, adding that he sees a potential boost from consolidation in the space. "The industry is only at about 11.5 million vehicles [per year] now, and I think we get to 14 million by 2012."
Monthly U.S. car sales have been moving consistently higher in the past year, recovery from bankruptcies at General Motors Co. and Chrysler and shrugging off Toyota Motor Corp.'s TM, +1.58% recall crisis.
Taking the pulse of Wall Street suggests that it might take a long time to return to the 17 million cars and trucks sold during the peak years of a decade ago. But 14 million or even 15 million within a couple years isn't overly optimistic.
If carmakers ramp production to meet that kind of demand, those manufacturing the transmissions, hoses, belts and other components will reap the benefits. So will the armchair mechanics who ratchet up their portfolios with the right parts.
One way to play it would be to invest in a fund devoted to the sector, but there just aren't many of those around. The Fidelity Select Automotive Fund FSAVX, +0.02% however, fits the bill. It has rallied 64% in the past year.
The fund is heavily weighted toward the big car makers, with Toyota, Honda Motor Co. HMC, +4.72% and Daimler AG DAI, +2.35% among its recent top-three holdings. Dozens of parts makers round out the portfolio.
For investors looking to weld together some positions, let's start where the rubber meets the road. Literally.
Screeching tires
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. GT, +2.99% has been reshaping its business, slashing jobs and cutting costs, to match up with the stark reality of the recession. But the Akron, Ohio-based tire giant managed to get back on track with strong quarterly results.
The shares are actually down a bit in the past year -- a rare decliner for the group, and could be due for a run of their own.
Gimme Credit fixed income analyst Shelly Lombard recently raised her rating on the Goodyear's debt and lauded its prospects for the rest of the year.
"Companies can't make money just by cutting costs," she said. "Volume is everything and in the first quarter, Goodyear's volume popped back with a vengeance."
Replacement tires make up more than 75% of sales, so Goodyear relies heavily on people's driving habits. But a significant chunk of its business also depends on production levels of the top carmakers. That side of the business was up 60% in North America through the first three months of the year.
Rival Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. CTB, +3.29% is also worth a look, but its stock has almost doubled in the past year. And it doesn't have the manufacturer customers that Goodyear does.
Power up with JCI
Moving up to the metal, a quick look under the hood might actually provide the best opportunity for profit, according to Silver.
"The companies that are going to do well in this environment are the ones that are making vehicles more fuel efficient," he said.
Johnson Controls JCI, +1.97% is a popular analyst choice in that category. Along with car seats and heating and ventilation systems, the company makes car batteries, including the lithium ion kind used in hybrid vehicles.
The stock has gained more than 50% in the past year and is poised to capitalize further on the broader economic comeback as well as growing demand for hybrid technology.
Johnson Controls swung to a profit in the most recent quarter, recovering from the industry disaster of 2009 and setting the stage for it sees as even better-than-expected revenue and profit growth for 2010.
Sales surged 32% to $8.3 billion on increased production in North America and Europe, leading CEO Steve Roell to say that he is now "convinced that those trends will continue into the second half of the year."

It struck me recently that vintage fanciers are relentless optimists; each charity shop could conceal a pristine and worthy treasure, every flea market is rife with possibility and jumble sales are chaotic games of chance. We have all flicked our way through overcrowded racks of suspect garments or rifled determinedly in a box marked '50p' just in case a treasure waits patiently unseen at the end of the trail. On coming up empty from a hunt we shrug our shoulders and reason that there have to be fruitless days in the name of balance and reason that we'll have better luck next time out.
Treasure seeking is such a heady mix of possibility and stories that it is hard to resist - every find has had a life of it's own before it comes to you and there lies so much of the appeal for me – endless promise. The most mundane of objects could tell some of the most compelling histories; of themselves and of the hands they have passed through on their journey. Magpie tendencies can be troublesome - no matter how much space is on offer there are yet more curiosities to fill it with. Lately I have been slightly stricter with myself in what I buy; I'm a pushover and want to give a home to every orphaned teacup or woebegone book I see and can't bear to think of them stuck on a shelf lonely and unloved, but that way hoarding lies! The funny thing is that less is more – a smidgeon of self-control is a beautiful thing – because now every treasure I decide to make my own feels more special for having passed the stringent 'If I walk away from this will I regret it?' test. I'm headed to Birmingham next week to one of my favourite hunting grounds for pretty old junk and I know I'll relish every moment of the chase, I just hope that whatever I find will fit into my suitcase!
Made.com just created a slightly tongue-in-cheek TV advert about how the makers of their furniture find the designs absolutely irresistible, they asked me to share it - and what I find irresistible - with my readers. If you've been dropping by Beautiful Clutter for a while you'll know I'm an incorrigible book fondler and page sniffer so the video struck a real chord with me, let me know what you think!

We went over to do this as a warmup and let the rush hour on Funhouse dissipate - let me advise you that this is not a good warmup route if you're a 5.9/5.10 leader! Funhouse is definitely 5.7....Brown's First is definitely NOT 5.7+ Later on our trip, we bumped in to a local guide who said it's more like 5.9. I found Pine Tree Eliminate, Hotter Than Hell, and Inferno all to be easier than this climb.
The corner looks awesome from the ground, but I quickly found it to be more difficult and awkward than I expected. I led the first 40 or so feet to the bolts under the roof and came back down - so I can't comment on the rest of the route.

|If you break right before the roof it is 5.7. If you go through through the roof it is definitely .9+. It is a little intimidating and old school, so the rating will feel harder. Try the direct funhouse start for and .8 and I think grading wise it makes sense. Did you climb culprits too? Great one or 2 move light .10

Newly slimmed Kirstie Alley leaves her hotel in New York
Photos: Fame
Filed under Kirstie Alley | 5 Comments
Photos: Fame
Kirstie is wearing a Roland Mouret dress, which I think looks great on her. I wouldn't say Kirstie is that size 4 she's trying to get to, but she definitely is looking better!
Not bad for 60!
Photos: Fame
She finally loses a bunch of weight – and this is the dress she chooses to wear? YIKES! Apparently she's a size 6 now, you know. There are just so many things wrong with this dress. Mainly the cut on the top, it's horrible! And I'm not a fan of that mustard color.
Here is Kirstie in NYC last night at a screening of 'Horrible Bosses'.
Photos: Fame
Many people (myself included) expected Kirstie Alley to gain her weight back after 'Dancing With the Stars', but the actress proved us all wrong! She appeared in NYC today looking even smaller than she did on the DWTS finale!
Keep up the good work!

"Four years later, we are still chugging along," ArtWalk organizer Steve Loftis said of the annual event.
Loftis said ArtWalk was formed several years ago after he and others saw the success of the ArtPrize event in Grand Rapids.
"We saw 500,000 people come to Grand Rapids," Loftis said. "We got together and said, 'Let's get a float in this parade.'"
Loftis noted that it only makes sense to tie into the Grand Rapids event and try to tap into the interest of the arts in the community. He also noted that Grand Haven has struggled to embrace the arts for a long time.
"Grand Rapids was an inspiration and Holland was an inspiration," Loftis said.
ArtWalk 2013 is set to begin Sept. 18. It will feature art ranging from sculptures, paintings and photography from local artists displayed in businesses and community buildings throughout the downtown, Centertown and waterfront areas.
Along with public judging and juried voting, the event features public events that highlight artists and venues of ArtWalk. This includes street parties with free food and live music, a community-based art project, school trips, and a youth competition for ages 8-17.
A variety of ArtWalk events near the downtown happen Saturday, Sept. 21, including a new bike parade.
"That is going to be exciting," ArtWalk volunteer Randy Smith said.
Smith said the parade will feature artistically modified bicycles ranging from tricycles to more elaborate creations. The public is encouraged to join the parade with their decorated bikes, which begins at 10 a.m. Art activities will follow immediately after the parade.
"Saturday is going to be a hoot with the bike parade," Loftis said. "And I am hosting the Grand Burger Cookout (afterward)."
Organizers are trying to secure live music to lead the parade of bicycles down Washington Avenue.
Smith hopes for a good turnout for the first-ever event.
"Right now, I am guessing between 50 and 60 bikes, but we don't know what to expect," he said.
Other events slated for ArtWalk 2013 include:
• ArtWalk Kickoff Party: Wednesday, Sept. 18, noon to 2 p.m., featuring the mayor and City Council members at Waterfront Stadium.
• Centertown ArtWalk Experience and Centertown Block Party: Wednesday, Sept. 25, with a self-guided walking tour of the district from 4-6 p.m. and a block party from 6-8 p.m.
• Grand Wavin' Voting and Art Market on Saturday, Sept. 28, from noon to 5 p.m. Grand Wavin' is the 2013 community art project in which individuals and businesses are able to purchase wood sculptures carved into the shape of a lighthouse/wave montage, decorate them, and bring them back to display in the downtown area for a public vote. The Art Market will be on Washington Avenue off Harbor Drive, and allows attendees to purchase pieces created by ArtWalk artists.
• Indie Rock Fest on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 27-28, from 6 p.m. to midnight. Presented by Second Avenue Arts, the concert features bands of the indie rock genre.
• Youth Competition Awards Ceremony and Reception on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 6 p.m. The winners of the ArtWalk youth competition will be announced at Loutit District Library.
• Closing Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at 5:30 p.m.: Public voting on ArtWalk pieces ends at noon, with an awards ceremony at the Fire Barn Gallery that evening.

New Jersey -- Everyone who was directly affected by the World Trade Center attack is urged to seek disaster assistance regardless of their citizenship, recovery officials said.
"We urge people to call the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for help, even if they think they may not be qualified for assistance," said Lt. Edward M. O'Neil, State Coordinating Officer, New Jersey State Police Office of Emergency Management. "Just because someone may not be eligible for all state or federal programs, it doesn't mean that there isn't help available. If there's a way to help someone, we will make every effort possible to locate the appropriate agency for them."
Numerous voluntary agencies, including the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and the New Jersey Victims Crime Compensation Board do not have a citizenship requirement for individuals seeking disaster assistance. To contact any of these agencies through the Family Assistance Center located at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, call the toll free number 1-866-NJ-CRISIS between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Saturday.
Those individuals directly affected by the September 11th attack should call to register for federal and state assistance regardless of their immigration status. Disaster recovery experts will determine their eligibility on a case-by-case basis. The FEMA toll free registration line is 1-800-462-9029. Those who are hearing and speech impaired should call TTY, 1-800-462-7585. Lines are open between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM, Monday through Saturday.
"The State of New Jersey and FEMA are not going to share information about an individual's legal status with any other agency," said Peter Martinasco, Federal Coordinating Officer. "We want to assure that everyone who was affected by the September 11th attack feels comfortable while asking for assistance."
To receive certain types of federal and state disaster assistance, applicants must be citizens or qualified aliens. An individual who is not a qualified alien but whose child is a citizen, a non-citizen national or a qualified alien, may apply for assistance on behalf of a child. All applicants, including qualified aliens who apply for state and federal assistance, must sign declarations of their immigration status.

MONTPELIER - We've heard it many times, "Freedom Isn't Free." Rep. Vicki Strong (R-Orleans-Caledonia-1) of Albany knows that very well. Her son, Jesse Strong, died in a 2005 roadside attack in Afghanistan, a week before that country's election.
Strong is so passionate about freedom, she wrote a bill that proposes that employees have the opportunity to decide for themselves if they want to join or financially support a union.

At the end of the Kings-Pistons game on New Year's Day, the Kings were down six but had the chance for one last play. Jimmer Fredette got the ball and did… this.
Jimmer: take the contact! Get fouled! Go to the line! Don't… do… this. I mean, it's not like this shot could've won the game, so maybe he just wanted to end up on the highlight reel or something. At that, he has succeeded.
On the bright side, Jimmer Fredette deserves to be a candidate for Most Improved Player this year, and he's begun to play much more like he did in college than during his disastrous rookie year. This shot aside.
1. Here's video of the shot attempt:

Ozzfest Lineup 2007 Per Wikipedia
Mainstage Ozzy,
Alice In Chains,
Type O Negative,
Stone Sour,
Shadows Fall,
Killswitch Engage
This is false until I see it on Blabbermouth :D
[QUOTE=ADD;143797]This is false until I see it on Blabbermouth :D[/QUOTE]
lol I agree but still ya never know:D
I don't think SS is gonna be touring at the time Ozzfest shows up. I'm pretty sure Slipknot is recording new stuff. And why would Type O be mainstage or be ahead of KSE or SF.
Tool and AIC will make getting a free ticket worth it. But I'd rather go to some "off fest" dates with nice lineups.
And I'm pretty sure this Tool thing is fabricated. Not to mention I'd hate to have to see them on Ozzfest playing an even more abbreviated setlist full of songs I've seen live twice or three times before, most of them within the last year :hecho:
Now, if they wanna bring out some rarer old shit, and leave the Stinkfists, Sobers, and Schisms at home, then I'll be really super psyched :allan:
I would probably go to that for free.
Hmm, I really want to see Type O (tour goddamnit!!), and I wouldn't be completely averse to seeing Tool and Alice In Chains... we'll see.
[QUOTE=DethMaiden;143799]Tool and AIC will make getting a free ticket worth it. But I'd rather go to some "off fest" dates with nice lineups.[/QUOTE]
Fuck Tool and AIC. Killswitch and Shadows Fall would make the free ticket worthwhile.
I'd like to see Tool. There is a great example of a band perfect for Ozzfest in the sense that I'm not particularly inclinced to go to one of their headlining shows but I'd like a taste from an abbreviated set. Same goes with most of that wiki-lineup. The pee breaks: Killswitch and probably Stone Sour. Maybe Typo O. It's definitley not the most metal lineup.
