How so? You admit it yourself, the Borg were "one unifed entity." Why is that mystique lost by any amount if that entity decides to control a physical body as a puppet?
Because it gives the Borg a leader and the Borg more scary and alien without a leader. There is no leader, no one Borg has more authority then another, having a Queen undoes all that. Introducing the Queen was the start of Borg's villain decay. Instead of hailing a Borg Cube and having a wall of Borg drones shouting at you, Janeway would often just be talking with the Queen on a view screen, which made the Borg seem like every other alien race out there.
Plus the Borg Queen was written as an idiot most of the time, she makes so stupid decisions in Unimatrix Zero, its hard to take the Borg seriously after that.

Norwalk City Schools has voted it's necessary to put an emergency operating levy that will generate $1.5 million on the May ballot.
"This is a resolution of necessity. This is the first step," Superintendent Dennis Doughty said. "Literally, this reflects an emergency situation and I think our finances reflect that."
The school board is expected to complete the two-step process at 7 p.m. next Tuesday.
Presented to the board at Tuesday's special meeting were two other levy options, which would generate $1.8 million (about 6 mills) and $2 million (6 1/2 mills). Each of the levies would last for five years.
Board member Rob Ludwig made a motion to support the 5-mill levy that would generate $1.5 million over five years, but there several, long, awkward moments before someone seconded the motion. Board president John Lendrum finally said he was going to do so at least "for the purpose of discussion." The motion passed 5-0.
Each of the members discussed the $1.5 million levy, what Doughty has called the "5 for 5 levy," before the motion and vote.
"I don't look at it as a Band-Aid (solution); I see it as the start of a long-term solution," Ludwig said.
About the three options, he said, "I think what will pass is the biggest question." Ludwig doubted a levy that generated anything more than $1.5 million over five years would be successful.
Board member Ralph Ritzenthaler agreed, saying any levy Norwalk puts on the ballot has to be something that makes the taxpayers "comfortable."
Kevin Cashen, the newest addition to the board, said what he likes about the so-called "5 for 5 levy" is it would force the district to be fiscally responsible and give the public a chance to have its say in five years.
"Also, it gives the state (time) to come up with new funding. It's time for the state to give (districts money)," he said. "(This levy) gives it a chance for that to occur if it occurs."

Don't touch that dial! Remember how TV announcers used to say that before a commercial break?
How many kids today would even know what a dial is? Before you know it, pushing buttons will be a distant memory, too.
Things have really changed since I was a kid (you know, back when they first invented electricity).
We didn't have remotes for the TV set. There were six or seven channels to choose from (we only had that many because we got all the NYC stations) and they were mostly black- and-white.
Shows that were in color would announce this in the "TV Guide." On sitcoms, the husband and wife slept in separate twin beds.
Commercials took up about 10 percent of the total airing time and no one was interested in watching spoiled housewives from New Jersey throw things at each other (not even housewives in New Jersey).
Penny candy cost a penny - have your kids even ever seen penny candy? Soda was sold in glass bottles with caps that had to be pried open.
Straws were made of paper and McDonalds had just sold their first million (not billion) burgers.
We went to drive-in movies, mounted a cheap speaker on the car window, and watched the good guys win (and of course, they always wore white hats).

Train yourself on how to execute a "Late" Release!
$129.00 plus "Real World" shipping
|Good golf is building in the right set of movements so they become instinctive. Let your pro teach you
the correct stance, posture, etc. Then make these things natural and instinctive by repetitive
SwingRite practice. The SwingRite makes it possible to practice your golf swing in a confined space
without actually striking a ball. It enables full concentration to be focused upon technique without the
distraction of making contact with a ball. To improve your game, you should practice every day. The
SwingRite is designed to enable you to do this all year round, regardless of the weather. You can use
the SwingRite in your home, office, hotel room, on the range, anywhere you can swing a club! Plus,
using the SwingRite provides the benefits of vigorous exercise. The great thing about the SwingRite
is that anyone can use it! Men, women, and juniors of all levels can benefit. Choose either the adult
or the junior version, and choose your grip style…then you're ready to stop throwing away power and
start playing the best golf of your life!
Swing the SwingRite just as you would a golf club…it's as easy as 1-2-3! The purpose of the
SwingRite is to hear when the club head has released. A proper release ensures consistent shot-
making, both in distance and accuracy. Listen for the unique "click" sound and discover where your
hands are releasing. For the best golf shot, be sure that the "click" sound is occurring in the impact
zone (i.e. where the imaginary ball is). You can also adjust the head to make it easier or harder to get
that "click" sound to happen, thus working on your swing speed. Work on swing speed anywhere
between 55 mph to 125 mph.

|Overview of the Perfect Putting Machine
The Z Factor Perfect Putting Machine has been ordered by PGA Tour members, PGA teaching
professionals, golf schools and individual golfers of all skill levels. This is because all of these people
know what an amazing revolution this product is with regard to teaching, learning and practicing the
art of putting. The Z Factor Perfect Putting Machine actually allows you to see and feel the perfect
putting stroke, which builds true muscle memory. The machine is adaptable to teach both the Square
to Square and ARC putting techniques.
Square to Square (STS)
With the Z Factor Perfect Putting Machine set up in the STS mode you will be learning the muscle
memory of a SQUARE TO SQUARE putting stroke. In this stroke the putter travels straight back and
straight through on the target line. The face of the putter is always pointed at the target during this
stroke. This style of putting is used by golfers of all skill levels including PGA tour players, but may be
especially helpful for beginners and for practicing short putts.
|Inside-Square-Inside (ARC)
With the Z Factor Perfect Putting Machine set up in the ARC mode you will be learning the muscle
memory of an Inside-Square-Inside putting stroke. In other words, the putter travels INSIDE the target
line on the backstroke, returns to SQUARE at impact, and travels back INSIDE the target line on the
follow through. This stroke is thought by some instructors to be more natural and resembles a
miniature golf swing. During this stroke the face of the putter opens relative to the target line, but
remains square to the arc along which it is swinging. Most of the players on the PGA tour use some
variety of this method.
The Z Factor Perfect Putting Machine has SIX different swing planes from which to choose.
Changing the planes is simple and takes only seconds.
The Z FACTOR IS FULLY REVERSIBLE FOR LEFT HANDED USE
|Each Z Factor Perfect Putting Machine accommodates an optional clip
on, rear-mounted alignment laser ($59.95) that illuminates the target
line. The line projected by the laser will teach your eyes to identify the
target line and help you aim your putter properly at address.
Note: As with all lasers, the Z Factor alignment laser is primarily for
indoor use. The laser may not be visible in bright conditions or

The Window SF, a new rotating SoMa offshoot cafe from the Coffee Bar folks, is popping up at 1599 Howard St at 12th St. with a month's worth of one-night culinary stands starting March 14. The organizers have amassed a pretty impressive merry band of window slingers.
Whilst transforming the former What's Up Dog into its third location, Coffee Bar shares its fully operational kitchen with local pop-ups. Every day through March is booked with talent, from vets like Sweet Jo's Chili & Biscuits and Soup Junkie to newbies like Maite Catering's Colombian fare and Jablow's Meats.
...the Window will be hosting nine different vendors, who range from the familiar to the unknown. Soup Junkie, who's been making a name for himself at Vinyl Wine Bar, will make the most frequent appearances, serving lunch on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Popup veterans Good Foods Catering will show up several times a week, and Seoul Patch, Jablow's Meats, and Sweet Jo's Chile and Biscuits are all taking on shifts.

Supporters Information: Jersey
Details for fans travelling to St Peter
Bristol Rugby face Jersey in the Greene King IPA Championship at St Peter on Saturday (3pm KO).
The club will be open on Friday evening before the game. A good chance to meet some 'native' supporters, engage in some pre-match banter, have a 'recce' of the ground, visit the club shop and pick up your tickets for the game the next day. The Barclays Pavilion will be open between 5.30 and 7.30pm, the Liberation Ale will be tapped and Sean the Club Manager will be providing free nibbles.
The Pavilion Bar adjacent to the Clubhouse will be open to all supporters from 12noon, offering full bar, including locally-brewed Liberation Ale on handpump, plus food such as 'special of the day', 'posh dogs', pasties, burgers etc.
Ground Admission is £15, or £5 for full-time students with suitable ID. Under 17s are free, proof-of-age is required.
Access to the clubhouse will be limited to players, officials, JRFC members and anyone in possesion of a wrist-band.
The Pavilion bar and outlets around the ground will stay open for all supporters until well after the clubhouse is opened to all. Normally things start to wind down between 7pm and 8pm, when people head for St Aubin or St Helier.
For those flying in/out on the day, the ground is less than 10 minutes walk from the airport. A taxi to/from the ground to town (St Helier) will be around £15.
Or there's the No 9 bus to/from St Helier (£1.70) which stops outside the ground or the number 15 to the Airport (also £1.70; get off at the penultimate stop, The Mermaid, and it's a 5-minute walk).
We've had feedback from some visiting supporters who have received large phone bills on their return from the Island because the small-print on their tariffs didn't include Jersey, leading to higher call/ roaming/ data charges.

March 8, 2013
The Promoting Malaria Prevention and Treatment (ProMPT) Ghana project celebrated successful completion of its mission with government and local partners last week, after four years of strengthening Ghana's efforts to tackle malaria. ProMPT's support made significant and broad-based contributions to the achievements of the country's National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP), part of the Ghana Health Service (GHS). These contributions include supporting the NMCP to improve malaria prevention and treatment, mobilize communities to take action to protect themselves and others, and spread evidence-based practices across the country. Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), ProMPT was managed by URC with its partners the Population Council and Malaria Consortium.
Combating malaria, a major cause of sickness and death in Ghana, requires comprehensive, integrated programming. ProMPT's approach comprised four major components: 1) preventing malaria through use of bed nets, 2) mobilizing communities to engage in malaria prevention and control activities, 3) improving management of simple and severe malaria cases and malaria in pregnancy, and 4) strengthening health systems for monitoring and evaluation.
Preventing Malaria
through Bed Net Use
Sleeping under nets is key to preventing malaria: long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) kill on contact the mosquitoes that transmit malaria. To help reach NMCP's goal of universal LLIN coverage (one net for every two people), ProMPT and NMCP developed an innovative model for engaging other partners and donors, civil society organizations, community leaders, and volunteers to carry out regional door-to-door LLIN delivery and hang-up campaigns.
Such campaigns provide opportunities that other distribution strategies do not: while hanging bed nets over sleeping places, volunteers also inform residents about the benefits of routinely sleeping under the nets and teach people how to care for them. ProMPT, with other GHS partners, supported the NMCP to carry out the campaigns, with achievements that included:
ProMPT developed this door to door hang-up campaign model to mobilize partners, donors, civil society organizations, and volunteers to distribute and hang up more than 12 million bed nets nationwide.
Because malaria is such a common disease in Ghana, many people are unaware
of the dangers it presents and do not know how to prevent it. ProMPT supported a
number of social mobilization activities to educate Ghanaians about malaria
prevention and treatment and to encourage communities to take an active role in
combating the disease. ProMPT also assisted the NMCP and GHS to increase demand
for malaria prevention and control activities and establish their sustained use.
Successes included:
Mobilizing Communities to Engage in Malaria Prevention
Above: Drama entertains and engages communities while portraying healthy behaviors. Below: Grade 2 students at Mampong Primary School display insecticide treated nets they received as part of a free net distribution program in Ghana.
Improving Case Management and Malaria in
ProMPT strengthened the capacity of Ghana's health facilities to ensure that health care workers learn how to effectively manage simple and severe malaria cases, with a focus on children under five, and malaria in pregnancy (MIP). Malaria infection during pregnancy in particular poses substantial risk to the mother and her unborn or newborn child. The project supported the NMCP in:
Strengthening Health System Response and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
Good quality malaria data help decision makers, policy makers, program managers, and health workers to understand the malaria situation and take the actions needed to control it. ProMPT supported the health system in building its capacity to monitor and evaluate the national malaria program. Key results included:

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and TEL AVIV, Israel, May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Cephasonics, Inc., a technology-innovation leader focused on delivering mixed-signal semiconductors, modules and subsystems to the imaging and ultrasound markets, today announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with Tritech Ltd. Tritech, a leading Israeli stocking representative and distributor, will be a key partner driving the success of Cephasonics' embedded-ultrasound product offering in the highly dynamic, innovative Israeli medical imaging and device markets. Cephasonics will demonstrate its products, including conducting imaging demos of its CSK9130 complete 64-channel beamforming sub-system, in the Tritech booth at the New-Tech Exhibition 2012 held here in Tel Aviv from May 22-23, 2012.
"We are excited to partner with Tritech to make the exceptional performance and flexibility benefits of Cephasonics' ultrasound front-end sub-system and components solutions more readily available to Israeli manufacturers of ultrasound-based equipment," said Danny Kreindler, senior director of marketing at Cephasonics. "Thanks to Tritech, we've engaged with several Israeli companies developing cutting-edge ultrasound based-solutions. Tritech will provide excellent local support to these customers."
Cephasonics released the CSK9130, its second-generation ultrasound beamforming front-end system, late last year.

Brixham farmer Richard Haddock removes RSPCA boxes from his shop after badger cull comments
Posted: November 30, 2012|
Farm-shop owner Richard Haddock has withdrawn RSPCA collecting boxes from the counters of his Devon store because of the charity's stance on badger culling.
He says the move – prompted by his customers – will leave the society hundreds of pounds out of pocket. But he is handing the boxes back – and calling on all other farm-related businesses to do the same.
Mr Haddock's decision to remove the boxes from the Churston Farm Shop, near Brixham, follows a series of outspoken attacks on farmers involved in the postponed trial badger culls by the charity and its chief executive Gavin Grant.
In recent weeks the RSPCA has called on supermarkets to boycott the milk from farms in Somerset and Gloucestershire where pilot culling is due to take place in the spring, and threatened to "name and shame" farmers involved in or supporting the cull operation.
Mr Haddock, a former regional chairman of the National Farmers' Union, said the tone of the statements "demonstrates how the RSPCA has been hijacked by political interests".
He said: "It is supposed to be a charity which concerns itself with the welfare of animals. All farmers are doing is taking part in an entirely legal operation whose terms of reference have been set and approved by the Government.
"There is no shame in trying to rid the countryside of unhealthy badgers which are not only spreading TB among their own population but are doing untold damage to the livestock farming economy." Mr Haddock said he had been a long-term supporter of the RSPCA, like many farmers, and had even agreed to rescued wild animals being released on his land. But he could no longer ignore public opinion.
"It was my customers who really objected to the boxes being there, because they genuinely felt farmers were being stabbed in the back by an organisation which ostensibly stands for animal welfare," he said.
"My customers realise that so long as diseased badgers are allowed to roam freely in the countryside, the welfare of other badgers and of cattle, alpacas, even cats and dogs, will be severely compromised.
"Until the RSPCA comes to its senses and stops aligning itself with the animal rights extremists ... no farm-related business should be supporting it in any way at all."
A spokesman for the RSPCA said: "We rely entirely on public donations and it is a shame if Mr Haddock feels this way, but of course we respect his views. We are very sorry to lose his support and we hope he will change his views."

Live updates: Israeli-Palestinian violence
Inside the hidden world of hostage taking
12 Aug 2011 12:33 GMT | Arts & Culture, Egypt, Russia
With key interviews with friends and colleagues, Tuschi charts Khodorkovsky's rise from oil billionaire, to political dissident, and finally to jailbird. Most tantalising of all, Tuschi manages to get an exclusive interview with the prisoner himself.
Khodorkovsky was making headlines before it was even screened, as the film was stolen twice – once in Bali and once a week before its premier at the Berlin Film Festival.
Cyril Tuschi joins Amanda Palmer, Al Jazeera's head of entertainment, to discuss the dangers and thrills of making a film that goes to the beating heart of Russian politics.
Written and directed by actor turned filmmaker Karl Markovics, Breathing is a sober Austrian drama that finds hope in the bleakest of circumstances.
Roman, 18, is an inmate at a juvenile detention centre on the outskirts of Vienna.
Presented with an opportunity for parole, he endeavours to improve his chances of freedom by taking part in a work-release programme.
Accepting a position in a morgue to wash and dress the recently deceased, Roman embarks on a journey of self-discovery, finding clues about his family heritage in the most unlikely of places.
Lead actor Thomas Schubert, acting in his first feature film, was awarded the 'Best Actor' prize at the Sarajevo Film Festival.
18 Days
18 Days
The Jan 25-Feb 11 Egyptian uprising changed the country, and the way the world views the Arab world, forever.
A mixture of rising talent and established filmmakers responded immediately to the revolution, taking to the streets and creating 18 Days: a collection of 10 films from 10 filmmakers, capturing moments of human drama amidst the political turmoil.
With characters ranging from the employees of a Cairo psychiatric institution, to a tailor who locks himself in his shop for the entire revolution, 18 Days provides a sweeping portrait of life in Egypt during the most dramatic political period in living memory.
18 Days premiered at this year's Cannes Film Festival, where Egypt was the festival's first ever country to be invited as a 'Guest of Honour'.
Habemus Papam
In Habemus Papam (We Have a Pope), Michel Piccoli stars as a Melville, a hard-working cardinal who is unexpectedly thrust into the limelight when his peers elect him to be the new Pope.
When the Vatican announces 'Habemus Papam!', Melville is completely overwhelmed and runs scared, escaping into hiding.
Wracked with performance anxiety, the Vatican provides the reluctant pontiff with a psychoanalyst, who struggles to get to the bottom of this unusual case.
A delightful comedy that provides a glimpse of a rarely seen world, Habemus Papam has been praised for its warmth, humour and a divine performance from the 85-year-old Piccoli.
Director Nanni Moretti, who won the Palme d'Or in 2001 for his drama The Son's Room, also stars in the film as Melville's psychoanalyst.
This episode of The Fabulous Picture Show can be seen from Friday, August 12, at the following times GMT: Friday: 1930; Saturday: 1430; Sunday: 0430; Monday: 0830.

For all that Thunder players have experienced already in their short time in the NBA, a long and grueling road trip really has not been one of them.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Thunder will not use long road trip as an excuse for mediocrity
Until this past week.
The Thunder returned home Sunday after a 105-96 road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, a disappointing defeat that dropped Oklahoma City to 3-3 on its six-game trip.
It was the longest road trip in the Thunder's brief history, an 11-day odyssey that covered more than 3,500 miles and, quite frankly, was mired in mediocrity.
No one in the Thunder's traveling party wanted to publicly concede that the journey played a role in the subpar performances. And maybe it didn't. But because Oklahoma City is centrally located, and no event annually takes over Chesapeake Energy Arena for a long stretch during the season, the Thunder hasn't had to adjust to being away from home for as long as it was last week.
Last year's lockout-shortened season scheduled the Thunder for two five-game trips. OKC went 3-2 on both. In each of the first three seasons of the franchise's existence, the longest road trips were just four games.
That's a stark contrast to teams like San Antonio, Chicago, the Clippers and Lakers, all of whom annually must vacate their home buildings for seven, eight or even nine games to make way for the rodeo, circus or Grammys.
"It was a long road trip, but everybody has the same amount of road games. It's not like we're the only team that had a long road trip," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks, starting a no-excuse mentality from the top. "It's over."

Reverse Cell Detective
After being successful catching my cheating spouse with a reverse cell detective, I have engaged myself deeply into the topic of catching a cheating spouse permanently. I went through a bad situation after having been married for several years.
I went through a situation where my spouse was cheating on me, and I recall I didn't know how to go about catching her. I didn't know how to use reverse cell detective. Even I was not sure that I want to catch her! I did a lot of research, and I couldn't really find very good information at that time.
So, I just kind of putting together the things I learned along the way. If you are going through the similar situation, I want you to cover three basic things. These three basics will give you some indication, whether your spouse cheating you or not.
First of all, if your spouse is cheating you, you will notice a change in schedule and activities. This is most common. I would say if your spouse suddenly changes her schedule and just alters the time of coming home at night or leaving at early morning or alters normal lunch hours, then the situation is worth checking. However, these are not always the sign of cheating, but definitely can be an indicator and worth kind of evaluating and seeing what's going on.
Secondly, you can catch your cheating spouse with just an unexpected visit. If your spouse is going to launch at 12 AM to 1 PM, pop in there to see if she is there. You could really get a good idea of the situation sometimes with an unexpected visit.
Thirdly, the very basic things you can do are checking mobile phone call records. Usually when your spouse is cheating, her/his mobile phone got to have a lot of miscalls with unidentified names. Generally, these calls are attained with public phone. If you check the received numbers, you can get an idea of what is going on out there. You can identify some types of suspicious activities that you may want to monitor more closely or look into more deeply.
At this point, you could subscribe to a reverse phone detective. With a reverse cell detective, you will get a bunch of identifying information about the suspicious caller at your spouse's cell phone.

DIY How to Repurpose and Build a Succulent Box
What do you have in your house that you want to get rid of?
How can you repurpose it as a gift for a friend?
My friend Jeannie was spring cleaning her bedroom when she decided to get rid of her 30-year-old carpenter's box/ magazine rack that she'd had for years. Her husband was taking it out to the trash when she had the brilliant idea of turning it into a succulents box for a friend's birthday.
Which would be me! I was the lucky recipient of this very cool gift for my outdoor entertaining area.
And just look at the name! :)
In Jeannie-fashion, she painted on the side, Reluctant Entertainer, and using her master gardener's green thumb, she planted beautiful succulents in the box.
How to build a succulents box
1. Find something old, maybe with meaning, that you can repurpose.
2. Stencil or paint on the outside.
3. Drill large holes in the bottom for drainage.
4. Fill the box with good soil.
5. Fill with 4 kinds of succulents.
The succulents will grow and fill in over the years and need no care over the winter months. Easy!
Jeannie sent her husband over to deliver the birthday gift.
Which now sits on our back patio for our family and guests to enjoy.
I love thinking "outside the box." There's really no excuse, even if you don't have a creative bone in your body, with all the new books, TV shows, magazine DIY's, and probably the most popular now – Pinterest. All creative ideas on repurposing and reusing what you have.
Are you growing succulents, and if so, inside your home or outside?

That is such a lovely gift! What a nice friend you have, Sandy! :-)
- #2
That is such a fantastic idea! What a thoughtful gift and a sweet friend.
- #3
I have a fair number of succulents outside, but none in a box. Hey, hey, hey. Want! An inspired gift.
- #4
I have trouble finding succulents – even the local plant store has very few of them – but I'd love to give them a try. They look easier to care for than "regular" plants. :)

The classic details of Kris Kristofferson's original Southern Jumbo blended with modern features.
The Kristofferson SJ Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar is an accurately detailed re-creation of Kris Kristofferson's beloved Southern Jumbo acoustic, and a tribute to his legendary songwriting skills and genuine love of Gibson acoustics. Gibson's luthiers have spared no effort in creating this instrument inspired by the acoustic with which Kristofferson wrote such classics as "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Help Me Make It Through the Night."
Limited to a run of just 300 guitars, The Kristofferson features vintage appointments, blending the classic details of his original Southern Jumbo with several modern features, including the Fishman Matrix—an undersaddle pickup system with endpin mounted preamp and soundhole mounted controls. An aged vintage sunburst finish gives the guitar a beautiful, yet understated look that faithfully captures the distinct feel of the original.
Kris' long-time support for the United Farm Workers is also fully acknowledged through the genuine mother-of-pearl UFW logo on the 12th fret. A donation will be made to the United Farm Workers for every guitar sold. Kris Krostofferson's autograph is notably featured on each Songwriter Series label, and each guitar comes with an exclusive hardshell case designed specifically for this special issue. Play The Kristofferson and experience a fitting tribute to a modern legend, and the rich history of Gibson Acoustics.
Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.
A fine tribute to one of our greatest songwriters. Order yours today.

Comments about Gibson Kristofferson SJ Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I bought this guitar because I attended a performance by Folk Singer John Flynn. The guitar had the best sound I had ever heard from the instrument. Following the show I was able to see it up close and ask him about it. It was a Gibson Kristofferson SJ Acoustic Electric. So I saved up my $$$ and was fortunate to be able to buy one. It is wonderful! And Musician's Friend was great too - very helpful and great prices.
Comments about Gibson Kristofferson SJ Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This is simply a work of art; the design is so simple it will be lost on some but it is truly amazing. From the sunburst finish to the Mother of Pearl Eagle on the 12th fret it is an awesome guitar. I own a Hummingbird (also a work of art), a Super Dove, and a songwriter Studio EC all of which are pure Gibson joy to play but the Kristofferson stands alone in its sound projection and playability. The neck is fast and fluid, but it clearly works well for those with smaller hands or shorter fingers. The binding is all over the body and "aged" to give it a more antiqued touch. I did not like the period authentic tuners at first but have found that they are as good as any on my other guitars and very smooth to tune; they also stay in tune like they should. Gibson clearly makes some of the finest instruments in the world ( I would say the finest), and it is signed by a music legend like Kris Kristofferson which only adds to this amazing artists model. It is the best sounding guitar I have had the good fortune to play so I would HIGHLY recommend you get one if you can you will not be sorry you did!
Comments about Gibson Kristofferson SJ Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I wanted to write this review because of the guitar setup. I own one and I have played around with it for over a year. The guitar comes with the wrong type saddle. It should be vintage wide non compensation saddle with just a full radius which keeps the strings (1st & 2nd) from buzzing. The top can't take a lot of tension. You have to use light strings. I use Martin fx silk strings which are 11's and I tune down the guitar 1/2 step or one fret. So if you normal play a electric guitar or you don't have a stronge grip, this is the guitar for you. You get great tone and bass from light strings and you can bar cord all day long, bend the strings for the blues or play wild jazz chords with great jazz tone.People pick this guitar up in the store and the don't sound good with the set up from the factory. Makes me wonder were Gibsons head is at.I love this guitar. I have had 20 Martins (old and new), Yairi's and Collins guitars. If you like light strings with the tone of medium strings, you will love this guitar too.
Comments about Gibson Kristofferson SJ Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I was lucky to find a used, 2009, example of this great guitar. It plays like a dream and, like all of the current Gibson acoustics, the quality and finish is superb.
Comments about Gibson Kristofferson SJ Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I bought this for my husband who has been a fan of Kris Kristofferson for years. Excellent workmanship and the sound us superb. A beautiful instrument through and through.

The weekend before Spring Break, the Admiralty Moot Court team competed in the Judge John R. Brown Admiralty Moot Court Competition in San Francisco, California.
The members of the teams were:
Team 20
Tim "peg-leg" Fischer, Nathan "Shiver me Timbers" Griffin, and Jake "poop deck" Summers (who was truly a glutton for punishment because he was on the National Moot Court team as well this year)
Team 23
Nathan "Black Jack" Halvorson and Jacob "Landlubber" Strain (the only 1-L in the entire competition!)
Here is a brief recap, in their own words, of their experience.
This is a case about a train wreck. The issues of this case present the Court with the opportunity to pluck the stubborn hanging chad of the circuits and purify the muddy waters flowing from multimodal contractual limitations and the Interstate Commerce Act.
While the Court judicially determined that an Oar is a Shovel, Gonzaga's two teams had an outstanding performance.
On brief, Team 20 received some of the highest marks from the judges – however, one rouge judge's score derailed their hopes of best brief. Their brief did beat out other schools' such as: The University of Texas, George Washington, U.C. Hastings, Louisiana State University, and Cincinnati.
On brief, Team 23 did an outstanding job. Their brief received high marks and beat Team 20 (which they will never let Team 20 forget), and also the University of Texas, Tulane, University of San Francisco, George Washington, and others.
On oral argument, both teams performed well. In the individual rounds, Nathan Halvorson beat the oralist from the University of Richmond (She eventually won best oralist -despite the loss to Nathan). Also, Jake Summers beat the oralist from the University of San Francisco (She won runner-up best oralist – despite the loss to Jake), and despite his a"automaton-like nature" according to the judges
All this despite the crazy remarks from the judges: "Don't ever cite to the record" "Twelve, why are you saying twelve, twelve, twelve twelve" (when discussing the record) "I don't care if it is a unanimous decision from 2 years ago by this Court; I don't care about precedent, I am going to overrule it anyway" "Counselor, your analysis of the law is wrong – (Then from the other judge) actually, Chief Justice – I disagree." (Further, so do the treatises) "We don't care about the Constitution, this is a maritime case."
Further, the team had fun in San Francisco, and Messrs. Halvorson, Summers, and Fischer were photographed for a Japanese Fashion/lifestyle magazine, becoming instant male models, and they will most likely attain cult status in Japan, if they have not done so already. Messrs. Griffin and Strain are mighty jealous.

Speedway: Rebels aim to build on form against Tigers
Posted: May 20, 2014|
For the fourth week in a row the Somerset Rebels hit the 60-point mark at the Oaktree Arena, this time it being the Redcar Bears who were on the receiving end of what can only be described as a near flawless performance by the Rebels.
As a contest, this match was over as early as the 4th heat, each of which had seen Somerset record maximum 5-1 heat advantages to leave the Bears reeling, and from which there was to be no return for the visitors, Somerset final margin of victory being every bit as emphatic as the score-line might suggest, with Nick Morris and Olly Allen ending the night both unbeaten by an opposition rider.
"The boys were just in awesome form and Redcar had no answer to the way we rode here tonight," said Somerset team manager Garry May afterwards, "It's not as if Redcar are a bad side, but we never gave them a look-in as we hit them hard from the off and never let up throughout the whole match on another perfectly prepared race-track."
Somerset: Nick Morris 14+1 (5 rides), Charles Wright 8+2 (4r), Brady Kurtz 6 (3r), Pontus Aspgren 9+1 (4r), Olly Allen 12 (4r), Todd Kurtz 13+3 (6r), Paul Starke 6+2 (4r)
Redcar: Richard Lawson 6 (4r), Hugh Skidmore 3 (4r), Carl Wilkinson 7 (5r), Rafal Konopka 1 (4r), Aaron Summers 3 (5r), Jan Graversen 3+1 (5r), Luke Crang 1 (3r).
The Rebels will be looking to continue their recent excellent run of form when they welcome the Sheffield Tigers to the Oaktree Arena on Friday night in the Premier League.
Although Sheffield have qualified for the semi-final stages of the League Cup, it has not stopped them from making changes to their line-up and have recently dropped Adam Roynon and brought in Australian Ty Proctor.
The Tigers are led by three-time British under-21 champion Simon Stead. The 32-year-old holds the record of being the highest individual points' scorer in a team match at the Oaktree Arena when he posted a 21-point maximum when guesting for Reading in their match at Somerset back in 2005.
Sheffield have experience in the main body of the team with Leigh Lanham and Andre Compton supporting Stead and Proctor, the 'young blood' in the top five being provided by Australian Taylor Poole.
Somerset will be tracking their full 1-7 for Friday's match, Brady Kurtz suffering no ill-effects of his nasty looking spill in heat 9 of last Friday's demolition of Redcar. His withdrawal from the meeting following his crash was a precaution on the part of the Somerset team management.
Rebels boss May said: "On paper Sheffield have a team that could really push us, and with Ty (Proctor) now in their side I am sure that he will be coming to the Oaktree Arena wanting to prove a point, but I think our greater all-round strength should see us through to what we hope will be another maximum three league points."

Do you like this story?Tweet
But don't question their patriotism…
There was a dollop of politics. When Alex Gibney won for his documentary "Taxi to the Dark Side," about the use of torture in the war on terror, the director said he made it to honor his father, a former Navy interrogator, who was outraged at abuses revealed at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. "Let's hope we can turn this country around and move from the dark side to the light," Gibney said.
Out on the red carpet, Paul Haggis (the director whose "Crash" won Best Picture in 2006) said he didn't know what accounts for all these deeply dark, brooding, troubled films. But isn't it obvious, he asked, flashing an orange ribbon on his lapel. Orange, why orange? "It's Guantanamo," his Max Azria-clad wife, Deborah, said, showing off her orange bracelet, which read: "Silence + torture = complicity." Suddenly, we noticed — orange ribbons and bracelets everywhere.

WASHINGTON -- What city contributed most to the making of the modern world? The Paris of the Enlightenment and then of Napoleon, pioneer of mass armies and nationalist statism? London, seat of parliamentary democracy and center of finance? Or perhaps Titusville, Pa.
Oil seeping from the ground there was collected for medicinal purposes -- until Edwin Drake drilled and 150 years ago -- Aug. 27, 1859 -- found the basis of our world, 69 feet below the surface of Pennsylvania, which oil historian Daniel Yergin calls "the Saudi Arabia of 19th-century oil."
For many years, most oil was used for lighting and lubrication, and the amounts extracted were modest. Then in 1901, a new well named for an East Texas hillock, Spindletop, began gushing more per day than all other U.S. wells combined.
Since then, America has exhausted its hydrocarbon supplies. Repeatedly.
In 1914, the Bureau of Mines said U.S. oil reserves would be exhausted by 1924. In 1939, the Interior Department said the world had 13 years worth of petroleum reserves. Then a global war was fought and the postwar boom was fueled, and in 1951 Interior reported that the world had ... 13 years of reserves. In 1970, the world's proven oil reserves were an estimated 612 billion barrels. By 2006, more than 767 billion barrels had been pumped and proven reserves were 1.2 trillion barrels. In 1977, Scold in Chief Jimmy Carter predicted that mankind "could use up all the proven reserves of oil in the entire world by the end of the next decade." Since then the world has consumed three times more oil than was then in the world's proven reserves.
But surely now America can quickly wean itself from hydrocarbons, adopting alternative energies -- wind, solar, nuclear? No.
Keith O. Rattie, CEO of Questar Corporation, a natural gas and pipeline company, says that by 2050 there may be 10 billion people demanding energy -- a daunting prospect, considering that of today's 6.2 billion people, nearly 2 billion "don't even have electricity -- never flipped a light switch." Rattie says energy demand will grow 30 percent to 50 percent in the next 20 years and there are no near-term alternatives to fossil fuels.

3 Reusable Gift Bag Options for the Budget Conscious
When you are on a budget and you may find the need to purchase a gift, gift card and a gift bag a bit beyond your budget. In those cases, having reusable gift bag options for the budget conscious gift giver can be a lifesaver. Reusable gift bags can be found in a variety of places, but the best and most budget conscious bags are usually right in your own home. If you are looking for reusable gift bag options that will fit your budget, here are three of the most popular options that you may have forgotten or looked over.
Up cycling is one of the ways that many budget conscious gift givers and lifestylers will use to help stay within budgets and remain unique. A great way to upcycle a shirt or sweater is to make it into a reusable gift bag. It is unique and can make a great grocery tote for the recipient to use again and again. With hundreds of patterns available online, converting a shirt or sweater to a gift bag is easy. One of the most popular ideas is for wine bottle gifting. You can use a long sleeve dress shirt or button down long sleeve Oxford to create the perfect wine bottle bag. Just remove the sleeve from the shirt, size the sleeve to fit the bottle and stitch the bottom of the sleeve. Add a monogram cufflink to make the gift personalized.
Sweaters can be cut down, adjusted and recycled to become a reusable bag perfect for gift giving and for grocery shopping. By using just a few simple stitches and tricks, you can turn a sweater into a bag suitable for candle gifts, home décor items, pictures and more.
Denim is a reliable and strong fabric that can be reused again and again for everything from gift giving to re-gifting to shopping. Denim skirts and jeans can be sewn and adjusted easily. In fact, in less than an hour you can create a budget friendly reusable gift bag to fit any gift. The best part is that these bags reuse a durable fabric that would normally be thrown away. You are helping the environment while staying within a budget and giving a memorable gift bag for an equally memorable gift.
We all have reusable tote bags in the house. These bags are usually plain, from grocery stores or from gifts we have received over the years. We may have forgotten about them, put them in closets or put them in storage boxes or just tucked them away in a drawer. Why not take them out and use them for gift giving? Some of the bags can be reused as they are. With a simple run through the washing machine or a freshening up, the bag can be perfect for gift giving. Some bags may need a little more work to be suitable for gift giving.
If you have a plain reusable tote bag or grocery bag, then there are several options you can use to create a great reusable gift bag. One option is to screen print a design on the bag. Another option is to use printable designs or iron on designs to create a unique gift bag that fits the personality of the recipient and the theme of the gift. The possibilities are endless and can create the perfect memorable gift with a bag that can be reused time and again. The best part of this option is the ability to remain well within your budget while putting a smile on someone's face.

Decorative Ceramic Plates: Pet Cemetery designs
These decorative ceramic plates by Rococo look dramatically different from most of today's art ceramics. My first impression was quite shocking, to be honest. But the designs are amazing, as many decor objects by Rococo. You got to figure out for yourself what these decorative images dark-themed 'Pet Cemetery' mean, and why this plate collection is called 'French on Fire'. Give Rococo a call to find out. Regardless, these urban-chic style plates by Manuel Diaz will add uniqueness to your contemporary decor. Ink hand-painted over ceramic, the plates measure 28 cm in diameter.

BBC Radio Four has scheduled the four o'clock 'Thinking Allowed' programme this afternoon to be based upon the impact that the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, has had upon British culture.
Laurie Taylor will discuss with Vic Seidler, Professor of Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London, and political writer Bea Campbell about whether the untimely death of the Princess in August 1997 led to significant ramifications within our society's culture by exploring themes such as community, race and gender. Did the dramatic events of 1997 lead to communities being brought together through grief and mutual understanding? Did the Princess' death really spark a Diana 'phenomenon' within society that has been debated by so many over the years?
The Princess of Wales undoubtedly influenced British society when she was in the public eye; she became a pioneer for a huge variety of charitable causes and was a role model for many women of all ages. However it is in this broadcast that the discussion will revolve around how Princess Diana has influenced our social and cultural opinions since her death. Henrietta Moore will also contribute to this discussion by analysing the importance of Ethnographic research and how historical events have influenced such cultural research. With the upcoming film about Princess Diana's last years of her life starring Naomi Watts scheduled for release in September 2013, this broadcast will certainly be a lively and responsive discussion.
This broadcast will be repeated again on BBC Radio Four on Monday 24th June at 00:15, and will be available online to listen after the first show is aired.
Where did you get that awful photograph? Surely there are enough real one to chose from????? Also not everyone by any means want that new film shown-it really should not have been made with so many people involved still living, and no one can play Diana with any reality.

I am now 10.5 weeks and this is my first pregnancy. I am an over weight woman to begin with (starting at 205lbs) and none of my pants fit me anymore. I am only wearing stretch pants right now until I can go shopping for maternity cloths. I too thought i was getting too big too soon. Could it be that it's because i was overweight from the get go? Right now i look like i'm probably 6-7months.posted 08/02/2012 by ekika1815
I am on my second. I am 10 weeks today and look like I am 4 months along. I have had no issues with gas or bloating. I was so concerned that I asked my ob. She stated because this is my second baby and I rarely excersize, my abdominal muscles are too weak to hold in my gastro-intestinal system as my uterus is now filling my pelvis. So while it isn't the baby, I am definitely showing.posted 04/29/2012 by mbanning
I am also almost 10 weeks, this is my 2nd child. There are days that I also feel like I have a bump already and theres days that I look rather flat....Im also thinking it has to do with gassy and bloating affect from our hormones. So dont feel bad!! Because theres days I feel huge ugh!!posted 04/25/2012 by Cupcakes81
Thank goodness I'm not the only one! I'm ten weeks pregnant with my first baby and have gone from a size 6/8 to a 10/12 and a 30D to a 32DD, my waist is pretty non existent anymore, I now have hips and my tummy looks like it's housing a four month old baby! I'm not complaining as I never thought I could have children and I love looking pregnant ..... I just didn't expect it so soon! Does this mean that I will be very big later on?posted 04/13/2012 by debbierosemcneill
I am also ten weeks but with my third :) I have always shown early. Some women get super bloated cause all the "stuff" happening at this point. I think showing early is completly normal.posted 02/10/2012 by rdavenport1

There are many ways to relate The Tech Challenge to what your students are doing in the classroom!
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
The Tech Challenge aligns with the engineering design standards, a core idea K-12.
The design process—engineers' basic approach to problem solving—involves many different practices. They include problem definition, model development and use, investigation, analysis and interpretation of data, application of mathematics and computational thinking, and determination of solutions. These engineering practices incorporate specialized knowledge about criteria and constraints, modeling and analysis, and optimization and trade-offs.
Engineering design standards:
Common Core Standards (CCSS)
What is the difference between the Common Core State Standards for Literacy in Science and the NGSS?
The CCSS Literacy Standards were written to help students meet the particular challenges of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language in their respective fields-in this case, science. The literacy standards do not replace science standards-they supplement them. The NGSS lays out the core ideas and practices in science that students should master in preparation for college and careers.

Huntington Beach Water Polo Club teams turned in strong performances Saturday and Sunday at the Southern Pacific Zone Junior Olympic Qualifiers for age-group teams.
Tournament sites included the William Woolett Aquatic Center in Irvine, Beckman High and the Santa Ana YMCA.
The 10-and-Under coed team, boys' 12U team, both the 14U boys' Blue (A) and Orange (B) teams and the girls' 14U team, competed at the event in order to qualify for Junior Olympics scheduled for last-summer in southern California.
Coach Brian Anderson said the highlight of the competition was the boys' 12U team, which reached the division's championship game before falling to Socal.
Huntington's boys' 14U team placed third in its division. The squad, which put in rigorous training hours in the months leading up to the qualifying tournament, beat United, Corona Del Mar, Orange County and Los Alamitos. Huntington lost to Socal in the semifinals.
"On defense we relied upon great talents of our goalie Alex Wolf and on the offensive end Stephen Marcin scored many great goals" Coach Uros Dzelebdzic said.
The 10U coed team showed its talent against club teams Anteater, Northwood and Los Alamitos. Key contributions came from Emily Tucker and Randal Macias.
The girls' 14U team took 12th place in its division.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The opportunity is fading for Washington to fix the banking system so it can't threaten the global economy again.
With the financial crisis subsiding over the past few months, the urgency to impose new regulations has also eased. The fears of a global financial meltdown have been pushed to the back of the closet.
We're not going to have another Great Depression this year, so who cares if we're rebuilding a system that's sure to fail spectacularly in the future?
On Tuesday, the Treasury and the Federal Reserve gave 10 large banks approval to repay the billions they got from the Troubled Asset Relief Program last October. See full story.
It's probable that these 10 banks never really needed the money anyway. They were forced to take it, however, because the Treasury wanted to shield the really bad banks.
The thinking was that if we sent all the banks to the hospital for a checkup, no one would notice the stinking corpses of one or two of them.
The plan would have worked fine, except Congress found out about it and figured that crucifying the banks over bonuses, private jets and gold-plated toilets would score with a voting public disgusted by the double standard of billions for the rich and $15 a week for the rest of us.
When Congress threatened all sorts of rules about pay, dividends and lending quotas, the healthiest banks decided they didn't need the money or the grief.
Which leaves us with a three-tiered banking system that's just a ticking time bomb.
At the top, we have J.P. Morgan JPM, -0.32% Goldman Sachs GS, -1.04% Morgan Stanley MS, -0.82% and others. These big-foot banks don't have to live under the government's special rules, but they do get to take advantage of all the other government programs to get credit moving again. They can borrow money from the Fed for almost nothing, and they can pay billions to their executives and traders from the profits they can make on the carry trade.
They get the bailout buffet style. Pick and choose.
And most importantly, these banks know that the federal government will bail them out, if necessary, no matter what they do, no matter how many stupid investments they make, or how much they pay their executives, traders and shareholders, or how many gold-plated toilets they install. They get trillions worth of government insurance for nothing.
In the middle tier, we have Citigroup C, -0.52% Bank of America BAC, -1.08% Wells Fargo WFC, -0.76% and others. These big banks are struggling to escape the government's icy grip. Until they do, they won't be able to compete with the top-tier banks. Even though they've been able to raise capital, they are still viewed as damaged goods.
At the bottom tier are all the other banks, thrifts and credit unions that just minded their own business but ended up losing lots of money when the big banks took down the economy and sent even good borrowers over the edge. They can't compete on equal terms against the big banks, either.
The Obama administration and the Fed say they haven't given up on re-regulating the banks to make sure they can't put us back into a predicament like this again.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said Tuesday that the administration will provide more details on its re-regulation plan later next week. He insisted that Washington would make sure that the compensation structure within banks will no longer reward people who make reckless go-for-broke bets that the taxpayers might have to pay off.

Also rock-star stuff, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Auguste Favier gives up plenty of sweet blackberry, sugar cured meats, licorice, toasted spice and butcher shop-like aromas and flavors to go with a full-bodied, sweetly-fruited, fabulously dense and layered palate. As with the Colombis, it's a big, rich wine that stays fresh and pure.Author: Jeb Dunnuck
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
($60; 80% grenache and 20% cinsault) Inky ruby. Wild, explosive aromas of blackberry, minerals, incense and smoked meat. At once large-scaled and sappy, with zesty minerality lifting pure cherry and dark berry flavors. A dense, penetrating essence of dark smoky fruit, with excellent definition and finishing energy. Fully enveloped tannins make this approachable today but this is built to age.Author: Josh Raynolds

CHARLES E. STROUD, a worthy descendant of a pioneer farmer of the town of Lenox, was born May 28, 1832, in Madison County, N.Y., son of Charles and Dardena Stroud. His paternal grandfather migrated from Vermont to this part of New York State when the country was new to white settlers. Buying land and building a humble log cabin, he entered on a farmer's life of the most primitive simplicity in the town of Lenox, where he reared a large family, all now deceased but one, Ira Stroud, who lives in the State of Vermont.

YIELD: Serves 4
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3/4 teaspoon aniseed, ground in an electric spice grinder
- 3/4 cup unsulfured molasses
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- a 12-ounce bottle of stout
- 2 large eggs, beaten lightly
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 cups chopped pecans, toasted lightly
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 350°F. and butter a glass baking dish, 12 by 8 by 2 inches. Into a large bowl sift together the flour, the salt, the baking soda, the baking powder, and the spices. In a bowl whisk together the molasses, the butter, the brown sugar, the stout, the eggs, and the milk and add the mixture to the flour mixture. Whisk the batter until it is combined and stir in the pecans. (The batter will be thin.) Pour the batter into the baking dish, bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean, and let it cool completely in the dish on a rack. Turn the cake out onto the rack.
In a small bowl whisk together the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice, pour the glaze over the cake, and spread it with a metal spatula, letting it drip down the sides. Let the cake stand for 30 minutes, or until the glaze is set.
