I was, admittedly, a bit of a latecomer to the Sex and the City craze. For years, I staunchly refused to watch the show, convinced from what I knew of it that it wasn't for me. It struck me as self-absorbed and superficial, episode after episode of successful, independent women who should have been perfectly content with their lives, endlessly bemoaning what they didn't have -- Prince Charming and "happily-ever-after" -- over endless rounds of Cosmos. Who wants to listen to four women talking about nothing but fashion and men? Not me, said I. I didn't even drink Cosmos for the longest time, just because I associated them with the show.
And then, one day a few years ago I was going nuts being confined to bed rest with my last child. I'd watched everything on Court TV and more sappy Lifetime movies than any one person should ever have to stomach, I was desperate for something else to watch to pass the time. And there, right by the DVD player, was my oldest daughter's most prized possession: Season One of Sex and the City. What the hell, it couldn't be any worse than re-watching Tori Spelling in Mother, May I Sleep With Danger, right? I slipped the first disc into the DVD player ... and didn't stop watching until I'd watched every episode of the first season. And then I was hooked on the adventures of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.
We'd hoped to review Sex and the City at Cannes, but for whatever reason, it didn't end up premiering there. So I ended up last night at the midnight screening, sleepy and cranky and hoping the film would be engaging enough to keep me awake for its nearly two-and-a-half hour running time. After all the time I'd spent avoiding the series, only to fall in love with it, the last thing I wanted was for this long-awaited big-screen finale to fall flat. I'd been with these four women through countless sexual trysts and love affairs, broken hearts and late-night drinks; could a two-hour movie possibly match six seasons of raunchy, giggly, girly bliss? Why yes, it could, thank you very much.
I can only review this film as a fan of the series, so I'm not sure how well it will play to someone who's completely unfamiliar with the characters and their history, but Sex and the City fans should find it sublimely satisfying. For those who haven't followed the ins and outs of the fashionable friends, a very brief summation, couched within the traditional voiceover narrative by Sarah Jessica Parker, is very kindly provided. I can't speak to how well it sums things up if you've never watched the show, but for me, it worked well to recap what's led up to where the movie's about to head with these characters.
As the film opens, we're brought back up to speed with the lives of our four heroines. Carrie (Parker), who finally found love with her Mr. Big (Chris Noth) in the series finale, is settling into a comfortable routine with her man and apartment hunting with him in Manhattan. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is settled down in Brooklyn with long-time love Steve, the man who finally convinced her cynical, hard-working attorney heart that true love could exist. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is still married to her nice Jewish boy, Harry; unable to conceive a child, the two are raising adopted daughter Lily, who Charlotte is trying in vain to keep from learning the word "sex" when she's around her girlfriends; and Samantha (Kim Cattrall), who's perhaps finally found the man she could settle down with, is living in Los Angeles with younger guy Smith (Jason Lewis), the man who stood by her through chemo after her breast cancer diagnosis.
What could possibly go wrong in the lives of the friends, now that they've gone through so many ups and downs and finally reached a place of relative calm and sanity in their love lives? Oh, plenty. If things didn't go wrong, there wouldn't be much need for a two-hour movie, right? I won't say much about the storyline, other than it involves Carrie and Big continuing to work through issues, Miranda having sex problems in her marriage, Samantha wrestling with the weighty problem of having sex with just one man for five long years, and Charlotte being, well, Charlotte -- sweet, worried about her friends, and not quite able to trust in her own happiness with her husband and child.
We have a new character tossed into the mix in the second half of the film; Carrie hires a personal assistant, Louise (Jennifer Hudson) to help her pull her life together, and Hudson's performance in this role should put to rest any naysayers who predicted that her standout performance in Dreamgirls was a one-hit wonder. She's remarkably engaging in this film -- warm, funny, and relaxed on camera. Louise is both practical and idealistic, and still believes in true love even though her heart's been broken; like Carrie herself 20 years ago, she's come to New York to find it.
For me, it never mattered whether I could relate to every aspect of the lives of the Sex and the City quartet. No, I don't live in New York City (been there, done that), I don't go to Fashion Week (and wouldn't even if I lived there), I don't have a compulsion to collect designer labels, and I never traipse about town in stiletto heels, much less drop $500 on a new pair at the drop of a hat. But you don't have to live the lifestyle these characters live to relate to the truths in their lives; there's a little bit of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte in most women, which is why these characters have had such enduring appeal among the female demographic. Like them, we're sometimes strong and independent, sometimes weak and full of self-doubt; we've sought love, found it, and lost it; we've been betrayed and forgiven ... or perhaps betrayed and been forgiven, and we know that life and love are rarely as simple as most rom-coms would like you to think.
The appeal of Sex and the City has always been about the rarity of a show that revolved completely around the lives of four strong, intelligent women. The show never cared about whether it appealed to the male demographic, and so unlike, say, the Judd Apatow films, which appeal to both sexes even though they still put male-centric humor front-and-center, Sex and the City was all about connecting with women. If men happened to like it, they were welcome to come along for the ride, but for once, it wasn't about them. That's what made the show so enormously popular among women for six seasons, and the movie, thankfully, resists the typical Hollywood urge to boost the cross-demographic appeal, staying very true to the feel of the series. For what it's worth there were, surprisingly, quite a few guys in the audience, and they seemed to have a good time.
I unapologetically, very thoroughly enjoyed Sex and the City. It's long, yes (perhaps the man in your life will find it too long, if you drag him along for the ride), but for me, it never felt overly long -- and I have a very low tolerance for films that drag on past the two hour mark for no reason. After two weeks of gloom, doom, and bloody revolution at Cannes, I was ready for a light-hearted, fun, smartly written romp with the girls, and the film more than lives up to its promise. I love depressing Eastern European dramas and war documentaries as much as the next film geek, but sometimes, a girl just wants to have fun, and Sex and the City is just that -- a deeply satisfying wrap-up to a series that always had, in its heart of hearts, a lot more depth than the Manolo Blahniks it dressed itself up in.
For a different take from someone who never watched the show, see Jette's review over here.

if you get off at the last exit at the end of truckee, go left back over 80 and take a left at the stop sign towards the chevron and 76, then just continue down that road through the gate(not always open I have no idea why its not always) and then you'll see the beginning of the dirt road. you can follow it back for a ways, just a lil bumpy at times

I wear size 12 US shoes and these straps barely fit around my toebox when I try to insert it into the pedal. I have to cram my foot in.
The strap's instructions mention S M L sizes, but the packaging doesen't give a size. The straps are about 12" long.

Minimal ORM for mysql, postgresql and sqlite with complete arbitrary SQL query support (based on brianc's query builder sql)
Minimal ORM for mysql, postgresql and sqlite with complete arbitrary SQL query support.
Based on the node-sql query builder and node-anydb connection pool
Initializing an instance also creates a connection pool. The url argument is the same as in node-anydb
var anydbsql = require'anydb-sql'; var db = anydbsql url: 'postgres://user:pass@host:port/database' connections: min: 2 max: 20 ;
Defining a table is the same as in node-sql:
var user = dbdefine name: 'users' columns: id: primaryKey: true email: {} password: {} ;
You can also add properties to the table that are based on relationships
between tables by adding a
has property
var user = dbdefine name: 'users' columns: has: posts: from: 'posts' many: true group: from: 'groups' ;// user.posts is now a "subtable"
Read about joins and subobjects to see how you can
use subtables with
Queries have all the methods as in node-sql, plus the additional methods:
If you omit the callback from a querying method, a promise will be returned instead.
Use regular node-sql queries then chain one of the querying methods at the end:
userwhereemail: emailget // user.name, ;
Join queries can be constructed using node-sql. The format of the results is the same as with anydb
userselectusername postcontent fromuserjoinpostonuseridequalspostuserId wherepostdategtyesterday all // res[0].name and res[0].content ;
When creating join queries, you can generate sub-objects in the result by
userfromuserjoinpostonuseridequalspostuserId wherepostdategtyesterday selectDeepusername postcontent all // res[0].user.name and res[0].post.content ;
With selectDeep you can also utilize
has relationships to get full-blown
result structures:
userfromuserjoinuserpostsonuseridequalsuserpostsuserId whereuserpostsdategtyesterday selectDeepuserid username userposts all // res[0] is // { id: id, name: name, posts: [postObj, postObj, ...] } ;
selectDeep can accept tables, their fields, their
has relationships,
relationship fields, relationships' relationships etc (recursively)
userfromuserjoinuserpostson useridequalsuserpostsuserId joinuserpostscommentson userpostsidequalsuserpostscommentspostId selectDeepuserid username userpostsid userpostscontent userpostscommentsall // res[0] is // {id: id, name: name: posts: [ // {id: pid, content: content, comments: [commentObj, ...]}, // {id: pid, content: content, comments: [commentObj, ...]}, // ... // ]} ;
To create a transaction and execute queries within it, use
Execute constructed queries within that transaction using
getWithin or
var tx = dbbeginuserinsertname: 'blah'returninguseridexecWithintx;userinsertname: 'bleh'returninguseridexecWithintx;userwherename: 'blah'getWithintx // the user is there! ;txcommit;
When using promises, you can also use the safer API:
and you will get autocommit / autorollback depending on whether the promise returned within the passed function is fulfilled or rejected.
Transactions have the same API as anydb tranactions, but they're extended with the following methods:
Transactions support savepoints
var sp = txsavepoint;sprelease;sprestore;
Will cause the queries executed within the transaction to be logged. This method should be useful for debugging purposes. The parameter is a boolean.
For more info on how to build queries, look at the node-sql test samples and their corresponding SQL
You can close the connection pool using
To execute custom queries, use
dbqueryanydb arguments
db.functions and
db.makeFunction allows you to create a new function supported in the database.
db.functions contains a couple of predefined, common functions.
var max = dbfunctionsMAXvar avg = dbmakeFunction'AVG';var q = userselectmaxuserageas'maxage' avguserageas'avgage';

Born: 12/09/1959
Birth Place: Stoneham, Massachusetts, USA
Born Dec. 9, 1959 in Stoneham, MA, Cantone was the son of restaurateurs Liz and Mario Cantone, Sr. Raised in a large - and by his own description, exceptionally boisterous - Italian-American family, Cantone's comically tumultuous upbringing sowed the seeds for much of the material he would mine later in his career. Having discovered a passion for theater while attending Stoneham High School, from which he graduated in 1978, Cantone enrolled at Emerson College as a drama student. There, he continued his stage work and began flirting with the idea of stand-up comedy. Turning to acting professionally in 1983, Cantone began performing stand-up in New York and had his big break through on VH1"'s ... Continue Bio >>

"The most difficult, yet perhaps the most positive aspect of going solo are all the decisions you have to make alone," says Nina Persson of her new album, Animal Heart. The iconic frontwoman of The Cardigans (remember the '90s hit, Lovefool?) explains, "Somewhere inside, I have a very clear clock, a gut feeling, that says what I think. I have forced myself to just keep going and follow my instincts with this album. I have simply no time to dwell on things anymore, which I did a lot before."
As Persson's first solo album, Animal Heart combines eclectic and upbeat pop tunes and edgy lyrics to create something completely new and of her own. "Face down on the floor of the discotheque, I saw the poetry," she sings. "It said run, run, run put your fur boots on, baby. So long to the beauty salon lady."
Animal Heart is out February 11th via The End Records.

Is that a swarm of drones on the horizon?
While U.S. businesses yearn to launch drones for agricultural, surveillance, and delivery purposes, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) continues to ban almost all commercial unmanned aircraft.
Two years after Congress obligated the FAA to create regulations for drone flights, it is playing catch-up with drone operators and manufacturers. The agency has yet to establish standards for integrating "Unmanned Aerial Systems" into airspace occupied by piloted aircraft.
The FAA said its greatest obstacle is determining how remotely controlled drones will be able to detect and avoid other aircraft in the world's most crowded airspace. The security risk of in-flight hacking or disruption to drones' navigation controls is also a major concern.
The biggest frustration to proponents of commercial drones—some as small as model planes—is the agency's rationale for allowing hobby drone use but banning the same flights if made for commercial purposes like pizza delivery.
In November, the FAA introduced a "roadmap" for drone integration but acknowledged it was behind schedule on regulations, including plans to initially permit drones weighing less than 55 pounds and flying at altitudes under 400 feet, since manned flight must be above 500 feet. This means over the next few years, the FAA would approve drone permits only on a case-by-case basis. But the agency insists coverage of the approval process is rife with myths.
American drone makers say their profits and competitiveness are also hampered overseas by stringent export regulations on sales of weaponizable military drones. The regulations stem from the 1987 Missile Technology Control Regime agreement, conceived to halt the spread of ballistic missiles. Its signatories include many other Western nations and Japan—but not Israel and China.
Apprehensions about spreading advanced weaponized drone technology to countries or organizations hostile to the United States keeps the restrictions in place. But this undercuts the demand for the Predator and the Reaper, two of the world's top deployed drones, made by San Diego-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.
"There are countries like Israel and China that have weapons-capable aircraft and they can sell, so it definitely hampers us with business not just in this region but around the world because we cannot compete," said Billy Gililland, president of systems integration at General Atomics.
Even adding in other U.S.-made, non-weaponized drones, Israel recently upstaged the United States as the leading droneexporter, selling $4.6 billion between 2005 and 2012, almost double the U.S. figures, according to consulting firm Frost & Sullivan. China's state-owned companies also show rapid technological maturity and have manufactured dozens of drones.
Worldwide, drone usage is changing broadcast journalism with aerial filming of events like the Bangkok protests or the Winter Olympics in Sochi. They also monitor crops in Japan and will soon deliver documents in Dubai.
But privacy and regulation dominates political discussion both in the United States and abroad. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is especially vocal about drone surveillance after reporting a drone that watched her through her own window last month. California legislated a total ban on weaponized drones and restricts drone use by law enforcement and government officials in a bid to protect citizens' privacy. Virginia has a blanket two-year ban on drones in effect till 2015.
Once regulations are in place, the FAA expects up to 7,500 commercial drones, some smaller than a backpack, swarming across U.S. horizons within five years. Or as the FAA calls it, "One giant leap for unmanned-kind."

Hi Guys. I'm starting to think about the A Levels I want to do, and know I want to do either Maths, Physics, Economics or Accounting at uni, or degrees to do with these topics. If I took Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Physics at A-Level (you can't do five at the school I'm going to), would this leave my options open for all of these degrees? Also, could you let me know your experiences with these A-Levels. Any other suggestions would be helpful. Long post, I know, but thanks

Not sure about your later question but I am doing those exact A-levels (plus an EPQ)
Edit: This certainly leaves options free for Maths, Physics and Economics, not sure about Accounting.

Yes, those would be good choices for your possible university courses.
Yes it will as accounting requires very basic maths and some unis prefer you to do it up to A level. I did Maths, Physics and Economics and it opened up my options from Maths and Engineering degrees ( except Chemical) all the way to Buisness Administration and Management courses.
My opinions on the subjects:
Maths- my favourite subject of them all, loved almost all sections except complex numbers and some areas from Statistics. Overall quite easy if you keep up to date with work and you're quite good at it.
Physics- Very interesting topics and requires you to think on your own on every exam question. You cannot just study for the exam and turn up and pass, you have to know the subject very well. Overall it was really challenging but manageable
Economics- A really good subject for Universities as it is an essay based subject and like physics, you cannot just study for the subject and pass, you have to understand all areas of the subject. Overall- my least favourite, but I'm glad I chose it. I found it hard in some areas and easy in some. But at least I know how markets work.

All Brilliant choices, though I opted for Politics and Government instead of FM as I want to do PPE.
I did Maths , Physics , Economics and Accounting at A2 . This really opened up my option and they are all good subjects. Hopefully studying Maths with finance at uni, which is mostly maths but with units applied to accounting and economics

Maths days
Yesterday was square root day, and we imagine that most of you celebrated it in the customary fashion by eating square vegetables. It was square root day because the date was 03/03/09 and 3 times 3 is 9. The last square root day was on the 2nd of February 2004, and the next one will be on the 4th of April 2016, so they're relatively rare occurrences. Far more common are Plus's own invention, addition days. The coming Friday is one of them, because the date will be 06/03/09 and 6+3=9. Of course there could also be subtraction days, or maybe exponential days. In fact, with a bit of numerical skill, you can probably turn every day into a maths holiday.
A far more serious affair is World Maths Day, which is in fact today. It's celebrated on the first Wednesday in March and involves student and student groups from around the world competing to solve 182,445,169 mental arithmetic challenges in 48 hours. The winners receive medals and certificates, but of course it's the glory of winning that counts, and last year this was bestowed on teams from Malaysia and the UK, as well as individual students from Australia and the UK. It's too late to register for this year's event, but why not start practicing for next year?
Happy maths day!

Bye bye finance, hello maths and science
We may be in a recession, but according to Gordon Brown, that's all the more reason to invest in science and maths education. In a speech in Oxford today, Brown pledged to increase the number of students taking maths A level from the current 56,000 to 86,000 in 2014, and to make sure that 90% of state schools teach physics, chemistry and biology as separate subjects, also by 2014. The measures are meant to help ensure Britain's future competitiveness, and ease its over-dependence on financial services, which have got us into this mess in the first place. Some of the losers of the recession, those who have lost their jobs but have maths, science and IT degrees, are to be encouraged and supported to take up teaching, to tackle the lack of specialist teachers in these subjects. Brown also pledged to encourage a positive public debate about science in order to improve the public's understanding of its role in society.
Find out more with BBC News and in The Guardian articles Gordon Brown announces plan to boost school science and Brown pledges support for redundant graduates to retrain as science teachers.

Geneticists are usually concerned with picking apart the individual genes that make up a genome, but now two biochemical engineers from the University of Wisconsin Madison have decided to re-assemble all the pieces and give them a good shake. They found that it's not just the genes themselves, but also the way in which they are organised within the genome, that determine the characteristics of an organism.

Life's an algorithm
It's not often that maths makes it into the mainstream media, and when it does, it's usually a very specific bit of maths — a statistical result or a certain application — that's being examined. An article published yesterday on the Guardian website makes a nice exception. It explores how maths underlies almost every aspect of modern life, from traffic lights to iTunes. Thank you, Guardian!

Reports about the 2014 Mitsubishi Pajero suggest that there will be no major changes for this model but also say that we could be getting all-new version for the next year. This redesigned vehicle could be delivered also with a hybrid powertrain. While we are waiting for completely new generation we will write about the currently available version.
We know that there will be two engine options and that the base unit will be the 2.5 liter inline four cylinder diesel unit while the more powerful will be the 3.2 liter turbocharged direct injection diesel powerplant. Base version will pump out 178 hp at 4000 rpm and 4000 NM of torque that will be available from 2000 to 2850 rpm. Larger and more powerful I4 unit in 2014 Mitsubishi Pajero is capable of producing 200 hp at 3800 rpm and 441 NM of torque at 2000 rpm. Power figures might not be that impressive but we are getting a lot of torque that allows this vehicle to accelerate strongly and to return great fuel economy results.
Pajero Sport
On the outside we have one quite elegant vehicle with strong and muscular lines. Since it is not been upgraded for quite some time its age start to show and competitors offer more in this segment. Tou can get this vehicle with either two rows or three row of seats and this dictates total length of vehicle. Fact that this is an update of the update gives it a lot of old features that has been upgraded but still it is far from the top of the market offer.
Interior also shows its age and while modern vehicles come with high quality color display trip computer in Pajero dot matrix style. There is no doubt that we have one quite comfortable interior with decent quality materials but it still needs tech for it to be competitive. We are used to see hi-tech features in luxury vehicles and the price of the 2014 Mitsubishi Pajero can go up to $50,000 to $60,000 which certainly brings it into luxury segment. Where competition offers keyless entry and ignition this car brings old fashioned version.
Since 2014 Mitsubishi Pajero is quite high it can be tricky for people under 180 cm to climb inside. Front and back seats provide enough space and decent support but it would be great to see slightly more side support. To further improve comfort on the back there is a three row climate zone control system that can also be disabled if the kids are playing too much with it.
Ride comfort and handling is on pretty good level and it will be able to soak almost all road imperfections. Handling is even better than we would expect from the vehicle of this size and weight so it can be compared to few full size sedans. Another thing that we really like about this vehicle is the turning circle that allows you to easily maneuver even when there is not enough space.
When it comes to fuel consumption it is pretty good even with the larger 3.2 liter diesel. Expect it to burn about 12 liters of diesel per 100 km in city drive conditions while on open road it can go even under 10 liters per 100 km when driven at constant pace and at about 100 km/h. This can be achieved mostly thankfully to the large amount of torque that is available even under 2000 rpm so there are no needs for you to rev it high, always keeping it in optimum rev range.
2014 Mitsubishi Pajero Review
Tested and proven all wheel control approach has been developed in the harshest environments like Dakar Rally so you can be sure that this four wheel drive system will not ever let you down. Super Select 4WD system is used in new 2014 Mitsubishi Pajero and will send power to all wheels no matter what type of surface giving it great amount of torque and ability to get you out of any tricky situation.

Since the Russian market is one of the most important markets for Mitsubishi and this model it is quite logical for the 2014 Mitsubishi Pajero to be unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show. Plans of Japanese car maker is to even improve sales and that can be quite difficult if there will be no significant changes for Pajero. Have in mind that this car has pretty much iconic status on some markets.

SESI was founded to provide specialized education programming for students who are not finding success in the traditional classroom due to a variety of intensive special needs that require personalized academic and behavioral interventions. In partnership with more than 200 school districts nationwide, we currently operate 60+ schools and programs in 13 states and the District of Columbia for approximately 3,000 special education and alternative education students, providing them with individualized attention, innovative blended learning approaches, and all necessary support services to overcome barriers to education.
Serving as an effective, affordable alternative to restrictive, costly residential treatment centers with both our in-district and out-of-district placements, SESI offers customized services, flexible curriculums, and multiple program options—all delivered in the least restrictive environment (LRE) per student, all meeting core curriculum standards, and all adhering to state and federal guidelines and regulations.
SESI aims to comprehensively, expertly, and holistically educate and socialize students with significant learning and behavioral issues across all facets of their academic and social-emotional development so that they can perform at their highest level and realize productive, fulfilling futures.
We reintegrate students into mainstream settings quickly and seamlessly, whenever possible. For school-aged students (grades K–12), this means returning them to their sending schools once their deficits have been appropriately addressed so they can benefit from interaction with their larger peer community.

Albrighton discusses delight at returning to starting line-up
Marc Albrighton is determined to hold down a regular spot in Villa's starting line-up after producing two impressive displays in the space of four days.
Albrighton returned to Paul Lambert's first XI for the goalless draw at Cardiff following a lively cameo against West Ham a few days earlier.
The academy graduate, who has been hampered by injuries over the past couple of seasons, is delighted to be back in the fold.
And he is determined to keep hold of his starting place.
"It is a massive boost to be back in the starting line-up," said Albrighton.
"I've had a tough time over the past couple of years with injuries and I don't want to keep dwelling on them. I just want to put all that behind me.
"I came in and thought I did well just before Christmas and then I got put to the bench for a few more games.
"But the manager gave me my chance against West Ham and again against Cardiff so hopefully now I can cement my place."
Albrighton was buoyed by Villa's second-half display at Cardiff.
The Tamworth-born winger felt Paul Lambert's team just lacked the killer touch in front of goal.
"We're proud of our second half performance," he added.
"Everything was brilliant in our play. It was just the finishing touch that we didn't quite have and when we did have it the keeper was in fine form.
"So it was a tough one to take but at least we didn't lost the game.
"We've got to look on the positive side and we came out of it with a point."

Central Mississippi Residential Center honored not one, but two employees of the year at its annual program.
Officials say Footprints administrative assistant Doreen Page and CMRC's senior housekeeper Stephanie Thames tied for the honor for 2012.
CMRC director Debbie Ferguson says the entire staff is doing a wonderful job and should be applauded for what they do.
"We wouldn't be here if it were not for the work of our employees," said Ferguson. "And it's just a way for us to celebrate them and the terrific work that they do."
Ferguson says an employee is recognized each month for outstanding service. Then the employees vote from among that group for employee of the year.

link to see customers using the V-top trap:
When scare devices are not providing good enough control, the
only option left is to trap the birds. There are several traps
designed today which work for just about any nuisance bird you
may encounter. Trapping birds is easy. First, you need to establish
a feeding location. This is done by placing a known seed or food
they like to eat at a specific place. Do this daily. The goal
is to get the target birds feeding where you will be able to
set a trap.
If you have a
specific food item birds are attracted to, it makes sense to
use that item as the attractant. Other choices of attractants
include cracked corn for pigeons, old bakery goods for starlings,
sunflower seeds and millet for sparrows. Try to use a location
that will make the birds comfortable. Such areas include a flat
roof, in the birds fly way near the barn or building, a large
vacant lot or asphalt area, wide open fields, or elevated platforms.

Five veteran Freedom Riders reflect on firebombs, mobs, prison time--and what it all means, 40 years later.
Hank Thomas knows irony when he sees it. It was ironic, he thought back in the 1960s, that the U.S. government was sending him to Vietnam to fight for the freedom of the South Vietnamese people when, as a black man, there were places in his own country where he was not free to travel, to eat, or to sit It was ironic, he thought in the 1990s, that when he revisited Vietnam and met with North Vietnamese soldiers against whom he had fought, they embraced him warmly.
Three years earlier, visiting Anniston, Ala., on the 30th anniversary of the Freedom Rides, members of the mob who had attacked him three decades earlier still refused to shake his hand. Eventually, Thomas says he realized the Vietnamese hated him only because of the color of uniform he wore 30 years ago; the mob in Anniston hated him because of the color of his skin--and his skin hadn't changed color.
Now a retired businessman in Stone Mountain, Ga., Thomas might also have found it ironic that 40 years after the first wave of Freedom Riders initially failed in their efforts to ride public interstate buses across the Deep South from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans--thwarted by mob violence, beatings, bombings along the way--that he was finally in New Orleans. He and four other Freedom Riders--Diane Nash, Bernard Lafayette, Benjamin Elton Cox and Ed Blankenheim--stood on a stage at Tulanes Dixon Annex Recital Hall on April 7 and faced another mob.
This time, however, the crowd was applauding, paying a belated but heartfelt--even tearful--tribute to the men and women who, four decades earlier, helped expose the dark underbelly of Southern "minimal compliance" to federal mandates for desegregation. Veteran Freedom Riders were reunited for the first time in 40 years as the culminating event of an international conference on Freedom Struggles in the Atlantic World, jointly held by Tulane and Cambridge universities and sponsored by Tulanes Deep South Regional Humanities Center.
Over the course of the three-day conference, 28 scholars representing 28 American, British, Canadian and West Indies universities had presented papers on the Tulane campus and opened up civil rights discussions with conference attendees that included students, scholars, K-12 teachers from across the South, and the general public. Participants at the conference, which represents an ongoing scholarly collaboration between Tulane and Cambridge, talked about civil rights movements in New Orleans, Charleston and Mobile.
They talked about freedom struggles in Cuba, Kenya and Brazil. They looked at key events of the American civil rights movement: the Brown vs. Board of Education decision, for example, and the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. They examined civil rights in terms of politics, economics, art and culture. But it was the presence of the Freedom Riders--together again, with the perspective of time behind them but the conviction of belief still upon them--that brought the conference its heart and emotion.
They thought they were going to die. Many wrote letters to parents and friends to be mailed in the event of their death; Ben Elton Cox, the only ordained minister among the riders, wrote out his will. These 12 young men and women, some white and some black, were about to board a bus in Washington, D.C., on May 4, 1961, and ride it to New Orleans, finishing up in the Big Easy on the seventh anniversary of the historic Brown vs. Board of Education decision deeming school segregation illegal.
The goal of the riders: to test the enforcement of laws that prohibited segregation aboard buses for interstate travel and in station terminals along the way. They were coached in non-violence and determined not to fight back. And they weren't sure they would make it. This wasn't the first time a group of riders had tested the interstate travel laws.
In 1947, following passage of the Morgan Decision declaring segregation on interstate carriers illegal, a group of riders embarked on a Journey of Reconciliation through the upper South to see if the law was being enforced.
They made it only as far as North Carolina, where several riders ended up laboring on chain gangs near Chapel Hill. Fourteen years later, following an extension of the Morgan Decision declaring segregation illegal not only on carriers but in terminals and stations, a group of students under the direction of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) decided to try again. Calling this trip the Freedom Ride, the group had a major difference in route from their predecessors.
As Raymond Arsenault, professor of history at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg and moderator of the Freedom Riders event during the Tulane-Cambridge conference, said, "They were going to the Deep South this time. They were going into the heart of the beast and see if the Deep South would comply."
Other than a minor skirmish in Rock Hill, S.C., the riders made it to Atlanta on May 13, 1961, without problems and had what has become known as their "last supper." The next day, Mothers Day, they would split into two buses to take on the "Heart of Dixie."
One group would board a Greyhound through Anniston, Ala., and the other a Trailways bus through Birmingham. They would converge in Montgomery and continue on into Mississippi. Or at least those were the plans. The Greyhound bus was attacked by a well-dressed mob of white men in Anniston that broke windows and shouted epithets, then let them pull away. But all the tires had been slashed, and as the bus limped to the side of the road five miles out of Anniston, someone in the following mob firebombed the bus, shouting "Roast them! Burn them alive!"
As the riders fled the smoky confines of the bus, they were beaten, some severely. Hank Thomas staggered off the bus, gasping for air, and was asked by one of the mob members if he was okay. Before he could answer, the man pummeled him with a baseball bat. As writer Lance Morrow has noted, "Hell hath no fury like a guilty and vicious old feudalism dying."
The Trailways bus taking the Birmingham route fared little better, meeting up with Klansmen and mobs--but no law enforcement. Birmingham police chief Bull Connor later claimed the police were short-handed because of the Mothers Day holiday. Battered at best, seriously injured at worst, the Freedom Riders stalled out in Birmingham; no bus driver was willing to take them further. They ended up, those who were able, flying to New Orleans, their work unfinished.
That could have been the end of it but, as Arsenault notes, the front-page images of Alabama violence had caught the attention of too many people. "Up in Nashville, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) decided they just couldnt let the Freedom Rides end this way. So, to the horror of the Kennedy Administration, to the horror of white Alabama--a new wave of rides began." The Kennedy Administration had found media coverage of the violence embarrassing, Cox notes.
"President Kennedy asked Jim Farmer [head of the SNCC] to stop the rides because we were embarrassing America in front of the world." And Alabama promised nothing. "When you go somewhere looking for trouble, you usually find it," Alabama Gov. John Patterson was quoted as saying. "You just cant guarantee the safety of a fool, and thats what these folks are, just fools."
The second ride began in Nashville, among the riders Diane Nash and Bernard Lafayette. Again, the riders were prepared for the worst. "There were 20 of us from Nashville, an integrated group, and we really thought we might be killed," Lafayette recalls. "So we sent the first 10. We held back on sending everyone at once so everyone wouldn't be killed."
Diane Nash says that they felt a responsibility, however, despite the fear. "The illusion of fearlessness was definitely an illusion. I was afraid most of the time. What kept me going was, I did my best not to let other people down. It's an awesome responsibility." The bus took them to Birmingham, where they were summarily put on another bus, driven back to the Tennessee state line, and dumped on the side of the road.
They returned to Birmingham again, this time with heavy police escort that took them all the way to the city limits of Montgomery, where the escorts disappeared and everything became eerily quiet. At the Montgomery bus station, violence again erupted with no police in sight. The riders took refuge in the Rev. Ralph Abernathys church, and were later joined by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The church was surrounded until well after midnight. Finally, King called U.S. Attorney Gen. Robert Kennedy and asked for help.
"This forced the Kennedy Administration to call in the federal marshals," Arsenault says. "They were saved, so to speak, and were able to force negotiations to give the riders safe passage to Mississippi." In Mississippi, however, they were arrested and jailed for disturbing the peace. The SNCC sent out word to college students around the country and sent wave after wave of riders into Mississippi that summer. Hundreds were jailed and spent time in Parchman Penitentiary.
But by the end of the summer, the Freedom Rides were at an end--and so, for the most part, was segregation on interstate carriers. Forty years later, the riders carry scars--some physical, some emotional--that attest to their participation in a pivotal part of American history. They also carry pride. "I'm proud of the small part I played in changing my country," Thomas says. "I'm proud of the small part I played in the Second American Revolution."
For Blankenheim, who was a 19-year-old student at the University of Arizona when he became a part of the first group of Freedom Riders out of Washington, it was a magical time. "We were scared to death, but we were brothers and sisters. And I'm prouder of being a part of that than I am of anything." But they all realize that, while much was accomplished, the civil rights struggle is far from over.
For minister Cox, it goes to the core of his religious belief: "What hurts me the most about America is that of 270 million people, 141 million claim to be Christians," he says. "Why in thunderation do we have racism?" Thomas would like to see young people focus on opportunity rather than oppression. "It's important to get students to focus on the opportunities that are out there for them. Yes, it's true, there are problems. But if you focus on that too much, it will blind you to opportunity."

If you choose to fly Old Glory, here are a couple of flag-flying etiquette reminders:
1. When flying the American flag at night, remember it must be lit directly. That means it must have a light shining directly upon it. Light from your porch lights do not suffice. I used a solar spotlight to shine on a relative's flag that she flies at night. Just make sure it is bright enough to light the flag.
2. If using small American flags on dowels on your porch, in your yard, or in your landscaping, make sure they do not touch the ground or foliage. Treat them in the same manner as you would a full-sized American flag. The flag should fly free, unencumbered.
3. When hung on your porch wall, the union should be at the top and to the viewer's left (or the flag's own right).

Hot and my darn computer
It was another scorcher in CO this weekend. We beat the heat yesterday by going to the public kiddie pool. It was a bit more crowded this weekend than the last time we went, but still fun and refreshing. Ava had a great time and befriended a couple kids around her age – begging potato chips off the little boy's mom (*gasp* – guess there's a first time for her to eat everything – wait a minute, my mommy memory fails me! she has had chips before, just not often) and playing catch with a floaty fishy with a little girl. Good times. :) I'dRead More →

Lot 27 View Catalog
Arthur Burdett Frost (1851-1928)
Snipe Shooting
Signed "A. B. Frost" lower right
19.25 by 26.75 inches
A. B. Frost was born in Philadelphia in 1851, but spent his most prolific years in New Jersey. Considered one of the great illustrators of the Golden Age of American Illustration, he illustrated more than ninety books and produced thousands of illustrations for Harpers Weekly, Scribners, and Life magazines. Frosts illustrative work chronicles the mood and details of the daily life of farmers, hunters, fisherman, as well as barnyards and pastoral motifs. By 1876, he was on Harpers staff working on many books including Tom Sawyer, Uncle Remus, and Mr. Dooley. He also illustrated Theodore Roosevelts sporting book, "Hunting Trips of a Ranchman." Frost was an ardent sportsman who spent his summers and autumns fishing, rowing, and hunting ducks and snipe. He completed hundreds of watercolors and oils of the New Jersey seaside and is probably best known for his hunting and shooting prints that capture the drama of sport in realistically detailed settings. "Snipe Shooting" is a classic portrayal of shorebird hunting, depicting two hunters crouched in a make-shift blind, shooting over two dozen shorebird decoys. The days bounty is piled behind them and the shooters are tensed, ready to take aim at another flock, visible in the distance. This work is illustrated in Drawings, by A. B. Frost, and paired with this playful description: Snipe Shooting Were I a bird Id most enjoy The care-free life of the Decoy, So that, however tame Id be, No one would care to shoot at me. The reason for my wish is thus Ridiculously obvious. -A.B. Frost, "Drawings" The original owner of this work, Isaac Norris De Haven, was a business man and an active member of the Delaware Valley Ornithological Club, where he served as President from 1897-1898. An avid hunter, he often spent weekends on the New Jesery shore where he kept his cat boat "Widgeon." Frost, who De Haven met at a camp in the mountains of Pennsylvania, was a frequent guest on these excursions to the shore. This work was likely painted to commemorate one of the many hunting trips the two men took together.
Provenance: Isaac Norris De Haven, acquired directly from the artist < br>By descent in the family to the current owner
Literature: A. B. Frost, Drawings, New York, NY, 1904, illustrated.

This dude I ride with from time to time bought a beautiful track frame from Ebay. He has no idea who the manufacturer is as it came without decals. However, it has a few unique traits that might be known to someone on here.
- It has a sparkly red paint job; I'm assuming that's the original paint
- It has an XXX cutout on the bottom bracket
- If I remember correctly, it has X indentations on the top of the seat stay tubes
A few guys around here who really know their stuff have taken a look at it and have no idea what it is, though all agree that it's a stunning specimen. Thought I'd throw it out here and see if anyone bites. I'd love to be able to tell him what it is.

May 26, 2016
The Lansing City Council has voted to keep stop signs at the intersection of Washington and Michigan, at least until a renovation project scheduled for 2005. At that time, a round-about will likely be built.
However, several business owners in the area voiced concern Monday over the stop signs. They said it's too busy of an intersection and should have signals. They said people don't come to complete stops endangering the lives of pedestrians.
Lansing city officials said the intersection only has about 6000 cars a day and no accidents have been reported there this year.

U.S.-Andorra Bilateral Relations
Andorra is one of the oldest nations in Europe, originally established by Charlemagne between Spain and France. The country is divided into seven administrative districts and the national language is Catalan, a romance language. French and Spanish are also spoken.
The present Andorran constitution, introduced in 1993, establishes Andorra as a sovereign parliamentary democracy that retains as its heads of state two co-princes, the President of France and the Bishop of Seu d'Urgell in Spain. Andorra's main legislative body is the 28-member General Council (Parliament). The Síndic General (Chairman of the Parliament), the Subsíndic General (Deputy Chairman) and the members of the Council are elected in the general elections to be held every four years. The Council meets throughout the year on certain dates set by tradition or as required. President Antoni Marti is currently head of the Government of Andorra.
Since the establishment of sovereignty with the ratification of the constitution in 1993, Andorra has moved to become an active member of the international community. In July 1993, Andorra established its first diplomatic mission in the world, to the United Nations. In early 1995, the United States and Andorra established formal diplomatic relations. Andorra has also expanded relations with other nations.
Andorra is a full member of the United Nations (UN), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), World Health Organization (WHO), Telecommunications International Union (ITU), United Nations World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), World Tourism Organization, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), World Customs Organization (WCO), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), International Criminal Court (ICC), International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) , Council of Europe, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), EUTELSAT, Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, International Center of Studies for Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage (ICCROM), and Interpol, among others. Since 1991 Andorra has had special agreement with the European Union.
At present, the United States and Andorra have excellent relations. The U.S. Ambassador to Spain is also accredited as Ambassador to Andorra. United States Consulate General officials based in Barcelona, visit Andorra regularly.

Jim Reeves
With his smooth, velvety voice, the pure country singer was one of its biggest stars of the 1950s & '60s.
Gentleman Jim Reeves was perhaps the biggest male star to emerge from the Nashville sound. His mellow baritone voice and muted velvet orchestration combined to create a sound that echoed around his world and has lasted to this day.
Detractors will call the sound country-pop (or plain pop), but none can argue against the large audience that loves this music. Reeves was capable of singing hard country ("Mexican Joe" went to number one in 1953), but he made his greatest impact as a country-pop crooner.
From 1955 through 1969, Reeves was consistently in the country and pop charts -- an amazing fact in light of his untimely death in an airplane accident in 1964. Not only was he a presence in the American charts, but he became country music's foremost international ambassador and, if anything, was even more popular in Europe and Britain than in his native America.
After his death, his fan base didn't diminish at all, and several of his posthumous hits actually outsold his earlier singles; no less than six number one singles arrived in the three years following his burial. In fact, during the '70s and '80s, he continued to have hits with both unreleased material and electronic duets like "Take Me in Your Arms and Hold Me" with Deborah Allen and "Have You Ever Been Lonely?" with his smooth-singing female counterpart of the plush Nashville sound, Patsy Cline, who also perished in an airplane crash, in 1963.
But Reeves' legacy remains with lush country-pop singles like "Four Walls" (1957) and "He'll Have to Go" (1959), which defined both his style and an entire era of country music. Reeves was born and raised in Galloway, TX, where he was one of nine children. Tragically, his father died when Jim was only ten months old, forcing his mother to farm and raise her family.
At the age of five, he was given an old guitar, and shortly afterward, he heard a Jimmie Rodgers record through his older brother. From that moment on, Reeves was entranced by country music and Rodgers in particular.
By the time he was 12 years old, he had already appeared on a radio show in Shreveport, LA. Though he was fascinated with music, Reeves also was a talented athlete and during his teens he decided he was going to pursue a career as a baseball player.
Winning an athletic scholarship to the University of Texas, Reeves enrolled at the school to study speech and drama, but he dropped out after six weeks to work at the shipyards in Houston. Soon, he had returned to baseball, playing in the semiprofessional leagues before signing with the St.
Louis Cardinals in 1944. He stayed with the team for three years before seriously injuring his ankle and thereby ruining his chances of a prolonged athletic career. For the next few years, Reeves went through a number of blue-collar jobs while trying to decide on a profession.
During this time he began singing as an amateur, appearing both as a solo artist and as the frontman for Moon Mullican's band. In 1949, Reeves cut a number of songs for the small independent Macy label, none of which were particularly successful.
In the early '50s, Reeves decided that he would make broadcasting his vocation, initially working for KSIG in Gladewater, TX, before establishing himself at KGRI in Henderson. Over the next few years, Reeves was a disc jockey and newscaster at KGRI, moving to KWKH in Shreveport, LA, in November of 1952, becoming host of the popular Louisiana Hayride.
Late in 1952, Hank Williams failed to make an appearance on the show, and Reeves sang in his place. His performance was enthusiastically received, and Abbott Records immediately signed him to a record contract.
"Mexican Joe" was Reeves' debut single for Abbott, and it quickly climbed to number one in the spring of 1953, spending nine weeks at the top of the charts. It was followed by another number one hit, "Bimbo," later in 1953, establishing that Reeves was not a one-hit wonder; later that same year, he was made a full-time member of the Louisiana Hayride.
During 1954 and 1955, he had four other hit singles for Abbott and its parent company, Fabor, before RCA signed him to a long-term deal in 1955; that same year, he joined the Grand Ole Opry. At RCA, Reeves began to develop the distinctively smooth, lush, and pop-oriented style of country that made him a superstar and earned him the nickname Gentleman Jim.
Peaking at number four, "Yonder Comes a Sucker" was his first Top Ten hit for RCA in the summer of 1955. It kicked off a remarkable streak of 40 hit singles, most of which charted in the Top Ten.
Many of his singles also became pop crossovers, which indicates exactly how much of a pop influence there was on his music. Indeed, Reeves' vocal style derived from the crooning of Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, and early in his career he abandoned cowboy outfits for upscale suits.
In the process, he brought country music to a new, urban audience. Throughout the '50s and early '60s, Reeves racked up a number of major hits and country classics like "Four Walls" (number one for eight weeks, 1957), "Anna Marie" (1958), "Blue Boy" (number two, 1958), "Billy Bayou" (number one for five weeks, 1959), "He'll Have to Go" (number one for 14 weeks, 1960), "Adios Amigo" (number two, 1962), "Welcome to My World" (number two, 1964), and "I Guess I'm Crazy" (number one for seven weeks, 1964). "Four Walls" was the turning point in his career, proving to both Reeves himself and his producer, Chet Atkins, that his main source of success would come from ballads.
As a result, Reeves became an even bigger star, not only in America but throughout the world. Reeves toured Europe and South Africa, building a strong following in countries that rarely had been open to country music in the past. Reeves was at the height of his career when his private plane crashed outside of Nashville on July 31, 1964.
The bodies of Reeves and his manager, Dean Manuel, were found two days later and were buried in his homestate of Texas. Though Reeves had died, his popularity did not vanish -- in fact, his sales increased following his death.
Throughout the late '60s, RCA released a series of posthumous singles, many of which -- including "This Is It" (1965), "Is It Really Over?" (1965), "Distant Drums" (1966), and "I Won't Come in While He's There" (1967) -- hit number one. The previously unissued songs were frequently mixed in with previously released material on album releases, making his catalog confusing but profitable for RCA.
The flow of unreleased Reeves material did not cease during the '70s or '80s -- in fact, there wasn't a year between 1970 and 1984 when there wasn't a Reeves single in the charts, either at the top or in the lower regions. Reeves was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1967, and two years later, the Academy of Country Music instituted the Jim Reeves Memorial Award.
Though the flood of unreleased material ceased in the mid-'80s, the cult surrounding Reeves never declined, and in the '90s, Bear Family released Welcome to My World, a 16-disc box set containing his entire recorded works. ~ David Vinopal.

Tom Lee Gets it Right For Once -- With a Little Help From His Friends
There is a story circulating on the business tabloid for tots that is touting Tom Lee's incredible accuracy as it relates to his 2012 S&P call.
Lee called 2012 to end at 1,430 and it just so happens that today closed at 1,430. Before you reallocate your portfolio to what he recommends, here is a little context.
First, in 2011, Lee called the S&P to end up at 1,475. It closed at 1,257 (said otherwise, 17% off from his projection). Strangely we didn't see any headlines saying he was making doubters of his commentary look stupid at that point.
With a little help from his friends...
As we all know, the market this entire year has been kept afloat by either the promise of more central bank action, or the deed. Either way, that is not a reason to celebrate someone who had the guts to... LOWER his S&P target from his original 2012 beginning point.
Here is the S&P this year before & after Bernanke made some reassuring comments - ie: putting a floor under equities for 2012.
He also said back in 2011 when he made his bullshit S&P call that he didn't see any recessionary indicators coming out of Europe, and that they should be just fine in 2012. Mmmm, ok, let's let that slide. However, once again, he's not going to end up looking too bad to the naked eye with a little help from his friends.
So as you can see, if you're awful at your job, it helps to have friends to bail you out. And also friends in the "media" who will make sure to publish the results (if they're good).
As a reminder: There are still a few trading days left this year, don't give him his promotion quite yet.
- advertisements -
I meant to comment on this thread when you posted. I have bashed this fedwhore's (Lee's) "forecasts" time and again got so tired of it so fast I thought people would have laughed him off the MSM by now.
Thanks CT I appreciate your work especially when highlighting these reckless shills.
Here's my prediction. Lee won't"see" anything in 2013 too. Time for a new prescription.
Housing and Japan? The Japanese comercial bubble killed the Japanese banks of the 90's.... Lee is a PUMPMONKEY his bank and the top 5 holding the swaps are insolvent.. The mantra that the FED canprint the banks reserves? WTF are these PUMPMONKEYS PUSHING... More debt in housing as an unproductive resource? How aout lending money to bail the swaps? http://www.occ.gov/topics/capital-markets/financial-markets/trading/deri...
Tom lee you are the problem turning capital markets into dark pools bloating the size and resources to self feeding usury ponzi criminals. So more government spending to stimulate housing? Ya think the Chinese will go along with this again?
"The Rothschilds, and that class of money-lenders of whom they are the representatives and agents -- men who never think of lending a shilling to their next-door neighbors, for purposes of honest industry, unless upon the most ample security, and at the highest rate of interest -- stand ready, at all times, to lend money in unlimited amounts to those robbers and murderers, who call themselves governments, to be expended in shooting down those who do not submit quietly to being robbed and enslaved."by: Lysander Spooner
