How To Install A Convertile Top On A Cuda - Drop-Top RebopWritten by on May 1, 2001 Do-It-Yourself Convertible-Top Install
To collectors and cruisers alike, convertible Mopars have a special appeal, but as with any drop-top, it isn't all sunshine. While a tin roof takes decades to rust through, that flexible vinyl covering only goes so far, and with real street duty, sooner or later it will show its age. This 'Cuda's ragtop had been replaced nearly a decade ago, and it held up to the elements remarkably well. Unfortunately, even the toughest hide doesn't stand a chance against a vandal's blade. Slashed and patched, the top on this car would never be the same.
Living with the damage was like paying penance for someone else's sin, so the time had come to start afresh with a new top. Although convertible Mopars are few and far between, the components required to renew a ragtop are now (surprisingly) readily available. The Year One catalog is chock full of items specifically for this drop-top E-Body, including a full convertible-top kit.
The convertible top consists of two separate parts: the rear-window section and the main top canopy. They're available individually, but to make the whole installation look new, we ordered both. Accessories ordered at the same time included a reproduction vinyl well liner and the plastic anti-rattle clips that fit the windshield frame where the top attaches. Year One also has many of the other small items and mechanical parts that might be needed for this particular job.
A professional automotive trim shop installation starts at about $250, a reasonable amount considering the work involved. Though the job is complicated, the pre-sewn top kit doesn't require an industrial sewing machine with a walking foot to install, just basic hand tools and a heavy-duty staple gun. Granted, we'd rather port a set of 440 cylinder heads than tease a skin of vinyl over a 'Cuda's cab, but with attention to detail and enough finesse, the top installation was performed flawlessly. Want to give it a try? Factory shop manuals, available from Year One, have detailed instructions that help, but the job carries a rated installation time of eight hours (that's for an experienced pro), and a mistake can turn your new top kit into a ream of scrap vinyl. With those warnings out of the way, if you've got the nerve and experience to try it yourself, here's how it's done.

The top canopy and rear-window section overlap, and are attached to the body by tack strips bolted around the inside of the top well. To take off the old top, remove the fabric well liner and then unbolt the top at the well.The top on this 'Cuda actually held up to the elements quite well since being installed ten years ago, but a vandal's slash dashed any hope of it looking right again.The top is attached to the rear bow with staples and/or tacks. These, installed by a pro trim shop, were plain steel staples and tacks that were rusty-definitely second rate. The first layer of staples goes through the hideaway strip, which is removed first.The top is also bonded to the front header, under the weather-strip channel, accessible with the top folded. Remove the weather-strip channel, and then peel the material from the frame header.The side tensioning cables are anchored up front to the top frame, underneath the top material. Unbolt the cable here.With everything loose, pull the top canopy back to expose the rear bow, where the rear window is tacked in.The last attachment point of the main canopy is at the rear of the quarter windows, where a flap of material is glued under the weather-strip channel. Access is best with the top lifted to mid-position. At this time, the rear of the tension cables can be unbolted from the top well.
With the top out, the tack strips will still be attached to the rear window panel and canopy. On E-Bodies, the rear tack strips are in three sections: a main rear strip and two shorter side pieces. Mark the strips where the seams of the old top line up, and at the gaps between the sections, though these positions may change some with the new top. Remove the staples to get the tack strips off.The tack strips consist of a metal channel with a weather-resistant cardboard filler. If the filler is decayed, it won't hold a staple, and the installation will be all frustration and failure. These were not too bad, but were chewed in the critical last few inches. New bulk filler material (the stock-type cardboard) was sourced at a local trim shop, cut to size, and the critical ends of the channels were fitted with new filler.Now for the new stuff. First the rear-window section gets stapled to the tack strips. Though they cost five times what plain staples do, rustproof staples should be used. The new top material has computer-punched holes that mark the alignment to the tack strips. Mark the centerline of the rear window (chalk works well), and line it up with the center of the rear tack strip. Staple along the material's guide holes, stretched tautly from the center and working outward.The spec for the rear bow height is 22 1/2 inches for the 'Cuda. This is critical for the top to align properly. Make sure the bow height is correct, and that the bow is parallel to the rear of the car.First the rear window is bolted in by the tack strip in the well, and then it's stapled to the rear bow. Make sure the centerline of the material is aligned with the center of the bow, and staple from the center working outward, always pulling the material taut. Keep the zipper and seam at the top parallel to the rear bow. It has to be exactly right.Once the tack strips are stapled in position, trim the excess material, and cut the bolt holes through.Next, the main canopy is laid out over the frame, the alignment roughly set, and the centerline of the window opening is marked. It helps to let the material get warm and supple in the sun.This is the toughest part of the install. The rear window is unbolted at the lower tack strips, and the main canopy is draped over and overlapped, then stapled along the pre-punched guide holes. It's best to lay a long board across the top well, so the tack strips have a surface to rest on, and to support the rear window's weight (a couple of cans were used under the glass). The main canopy has to lay smoothly and tautly, without bunching up or changing the alignment of the material below. It also must line up with the seams in the correct position, and with the correct amount of overlap in the rear-window area. Once it's stapled into position, trim the excess material and cut access for the bolt holes.
Anchor the front of the tension cables back into the frame, then stretch the material forward with the top frame clamped to the windshield frame. Make a guideline along the front edge of the top. Now prop the top up a few inches, apply contact adhesive to the frame header and top, and glue the material to the header. With the top propped, more slack will be gained up front, and the guideline will be pulled under about an inch from where it sat with the frame latched. This makes the top material taut, since it provides some stretch to the material when the frame is closed and secured.The top has a pocket along its length for the tension cables, and comes with a string running through the pocket to pull the cables in place. With the front of the cables bolted in, tie the rear end of the tension cable to the string and pull it through the top. Leave the rear of the cable loose for now. Once the cables are pulled through, the short side flaps can be glued to the frame, and the side weather-strip channel installed.Now the main canopy gets stapled to the rear bow. It's critical to align the seam perfectly with the rear bow. If it doesn't align, the front or rear will have to be repositioned.The last attachment point is at the quarter window, best done with the top in mid-position. Bond the top flaps in place with the sewn seam in perfect alignment with the top frame, and then replace the weather-strip channel. The tension-cable end can now be routed through the guide loops and anchored at the rear in the top well.Finally, staple in the hideaway strip over the stapled seam at the rear bow. The strip staples in flat, and then gets folded over and anchored at its ends with the provided screws and trim clips.

Beginning Operations
First, we'll learn how to make a coefficient matrix. We'll start with the following examples:
x + 4y = 6
2x – 3y = 9
This is all fine and dandy, we know all about coefficients. The first equation has a -4, while the second equations has a 2 and a -3. But what's the coefficient in front of the first x? That's right; it's a 1. Therefore, our equations are equivalent to:
1x + 4y = 6
2x – 3y = 9
To create the coefficient matrix we make a matrix like this:
That's all a matrix really is: a grid of numbers inside brackets. When it's a coefficient matrix, the coefficients are the entries. The rows of a matrix are the horizontal number groups, so in this coefficient matrix the rows are
1 4 and 2 -3; 1 4 is row one, and 2 -3 is row two.
The columns of a matrix are the vertical number groups, so in this coefficient matrix the columns are
1 2 and 4 -3; 1 2 is column one and 4 -3 is column two.
Now we get to find us some determinants.
Determinants ditch the brackets and use vertical lines instead. Determinants are NOT open-minded. They only associate with square matrices. (Insecurity, no doubt.)
To find the determinant from our coefficient matrix above
You go like this:
(1)(-3) – (2)(4) = -5
Why? Because you multiply down the first diagonal
And up the other one
And put a minus between them. That's it. Crisscross minus applesauce.
Looking for a formula, you math lovers? Okay.
The value of the determinant for the above matrix is
ps – rq
Fun with determinants doesn't end there. Check out Cramer's Rule next.

Mencap responds to HMIC report 'Policing anti-social behaviour: The public perspective'
Thursday 23 September 2010
Mark Goldring, Mencap's chief executive, said:
"The tragic death in 2007 of Fiona Pilkington and her daughter started with anti-social behaviour. This report shows that lessons have not been learnt and sadly this is not an isolated case. At Mencap we frequently hear from people with a learning disability who feel like prisoners in their own homes because they are too scared to leave.
"Tackling anti-social behaviour needs to be seen as a priority and steps must be put in place to ensure that action is taken when people with a disability are repeatedly harassed. Nobody should feel unsafe and under attack in their own home. If anti-social behaviour is taken as seriously as hate crime, and police forces log and analyse calls in a way that flags repeat cases quickly, this would help avoid such tragedies in the future."
For more information please contact Jenny Brannan on 020 7696 6017 or 020 7696 5414. Out of hours please call 07770 656 659.
Notes to editor
Key findings from the report relating to disability:
- Anti-social behaviour is more likely to have an impact on the quality of life for people with a disability or long term health condition
- Only 13 out of 43 police forces surveyed were able to identify repeat and vulnerable victims at the time of their call
- Only 17 out of 43 police forces surveyed gathered and analysed data in an effective way
- About Mencap
Mencap supports the 1.5 million people with a learning disability in the UK and their families and carers. Mencap fights to change laws and improve services and access to education, employment and leisure facilities, supporting thousands of people with a learning disability to live their lives the way they want.
We are also one of the largest providers of services, information and advice for people with a learning disability across England, Northern Ireland and Wales. See http://www.mencap.org.uk/ for more information.
- About learning disability
A learning disability is caused by the way the brain develops before, during or shortly after birth. It is always lifelong and affects someone's intellectual and social development. It used to be called mental handicap but this term is outdated and offensive. Learning disability is NOT a mental illness. The term learning difficulty is often incorrectly used interchangeably with learning disability.

I'm pretty new to Python, so hopefully the problem I'm having has a simple solution.
At work we always us either Shell (ksh) or Perl for all of our scripting work. Since python has been shipped with Solaris for some time now, it has (finally) been given the green light as a scripting platform. I've started prototyping some improvements to our scripts using Python.
What I'm trying to accomplish is taking a time stamp and a string representing a time stamp and creating a datetime object for some date arithmetic.
My example code follows:
import datetime
format = "YYYYmmdd"
yIdxS = format.find('Y')
yIdxE = format.rfind('Y')
if not fileTime[yIdxS:yIdxE+1].isdigit():
print "ERROR: Year in wrong format"
print "Year [" + fileTime[yIdxS:yIdxE+1] + "]"
mIdxS = format.find('m')
mIdxE = format.rfind('m')
if not fileTime[mIdxS:mIdxE+1].isdigit():
print "ERROR: Month in wrong format"
print "Month [" + fileTime[mIdxS:mIdxE+1] + "]"
dIdxS = format.find('d')
dIdxE = format.rfind('d')
if not fileTime[dIdxS:dIdxE+1].isdigit():
print "ERROR: Day in wrong format"
print "Day [" + fileTime[dIdxS:dIdxE+1] + "]"
old = datetime.date( fileTime[yIdxS:yIdxE+1], \
fileTime[mIdxS:mIdxE+1], \
fileTime[dIdxS:dIdxE+1] );
I'm getting the following output/error:
Year [2010]
Month [09]
Day [21]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./example.py", line 37, in <module>
fileTime[dIdxS:dIdxE+1] );
TypeError: an integer is required
I don't understand why I'm getting this TypeError exception. My understanding of Python's dynamic typing is that I shouldn't need to convert a string to an integer if the string is all digits.
So the problem would seem to be I'm either missing something that I need, or my understanding of the language is flawed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Katie Aselton has turned up in a few indie films in recent years, including The Puffy Chair, where she played the girlfriend of Mark Duplass. Duplass is now her husband, and a fairly significant force in the indie film world himself, but he might have some competition at home. The Freebie, Aselton's debut as a writer and director, is an honest, unadorned relationship drama that suggests a new talent on the horizon.
Somehow this very good drama stars Dax Shepard. I don't think anyone saw that coming. He and Aselton play Darren and Annie, a married couple whose seven-year relationship is still full of love but lacking in lust. They adore spending every minute of every day with one another; they just can't remember the last time they had sex. Neither partner feels frustrated by this, though -- and the fact that they're OK with near-celibacy is what starts to alarm them.
They wonder if one solution might be to have a "freebie," a night where they each get to sleep with someone else, one time only, no questions asked, and let us never speak of it again. Perhaps this would reignite the spark in their own relationship. Annie's sister (Leonora Gershman) tells her this is a terrible idea (which hardly needs saying), but the two proceed with the plan anyway. The scenario reminds me a little of Humpday, which starred Aselton's husband and Joshua Leonard, who makes a brief appearance here at a dinner party. Both films are insightful in their examination of a young marriage's external influences, but where Humpday was mostly a comedy, The Freebie is mostly a drama. While it has its lighter moments, too, Aselton resists the urge to turn the premise into a wacky relationship comedy. The dialogue and performances are naturalistic, and Aselton's cinematographer, Benjamin Kasulke -- who also shot Humpday -- has an informal, documentary-like style.
Many of the scenes take place in Darren and Annie's bed, the two of them side by side, talking the way married couples talk. As such, the film lives or dies by the performances -- even one dull actor would tank the whole thing. But Shepard and Aselton are both terrific: earnest, believable, and unforced. The press notes says Shepard was a last-minute replacement for an unnamed actor who wasn't working out, but you'd never know it by what's in the film. You'd think he and Aselton had worked together for years, so comfortable and natural is their rapport.
Also very natural are the reactions Darren and Annie have to each other's words and actions. Men and women are bound to view a thing like this differently, and The Freebie makes no judgments on who's right or wrong, or on the eternal question of whether monogamy is "natural" for humans. The film is so straightforward it almost feels slight -- it's only 78 minutes, too -- but there's an impressive emotional punch packed into it. Perhaps only a first-time filmmaker would be daring enough to make a movie this "small," rather than dressing it up with extra characters or plot twists. Aselton keeps it simple, and in the process makes an astute, powerful film.

A close call for Geoff Ogilvy and the Masters
Geoff Ogilvy came within one stroke of not having to spend the next three months thinking about the Masters.
Ogilvy tied for fourth in the Australian PGA Championship in the final week of official golf this year. He will end the year at No. 51 in the world ranking, falling just short of cracking the top 50 to earn an invitation to Augusta National.
Thirteen players were added to the 2013 field by finishing the year inside the top 50 - Paul Lawrie, Francesco Molinari, Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, Branden Grace, Bill Haas, Nicolas Colsaerts, Jason Day, Hiroyuki Fujita, Matteo Manassero, Thomas Bjorn, Jamie Donaldson, George Coetzee and Thorbjorn Olesen.
Only two of those are full PGA Tour members (Haas and Day), though they have far more opportunities to get into the Masters by either qualifying for the Tour Championship, winning a regular PGA Tour event or finishing among the top 30 on the money list.
There's still plenty of time for Ogilvy and Henrik Stenson (No. 53). Invitations will be offered to anyone winning a PGA Tour event before the Masters (except for the Puerto Rico Open, held opposite a World Golf Championship event), and anyone who gets into the top 50 after the Houston Open.
The field now is at 83 players expected to compete, leaving the Masters in good shape to keep the field under 100 players. Still to be determined is whether the Masters will continue to take winners of all PGA Tour events now that five additional events get full FedEx Cup points.
THE POULTER COLLECTION: The garage in Ian Poulter's expansive new home in Orlando, Fla., might be mistaken for a Ferrari dealership.
Poulter has two of them in the garage at Lake Nona, and he even built a hydraulic lift to stack them on top of each other. Asked how he decides which one to drive, the Ferrari California or the Ferrari FF, he said it depends on how much time he has to bring one down from the lift.
But he's not stopping at two.
"I've got two more coming," he said before leaving the World Challenge in California.
After winning the HSBC Champions and its $1.2 million prize, Poulter said he "already spent the check last week." Turns out it was on a third Ferrari, an Enzo. He didn't get into details as much as he did with the FF, which was customized to include his tartan to line the interior.
As for the fourth Ferrari?
"I'm not going to tell you what it is until I have my hands on it," Poulter said. "It was the first of its type to come off the production line. It was a vehicle I can't say no to. It's a really a special piece."
Poulter doesn't look at the Ferraris as a hobby, the way some people collect fine art or even baseball cards.
"You can say it's a level of investment," he said. "It's one of those cars that's going to stay good forever."
NBC IN HAWAII: As if the scenery in Hawaii doesn't already make for good television, Tommy Roy plans to take it up a notch.
Roy, the executive producer for golf at NBC Sports, is bringing his crew to Hawaii for the opening two events on the PGA Tour schedule. The Tournament of Champions and Sony Open will be televised by Golf Channel (NBC and Golf Channel are under the Comcast umbrella).
It's the first time Roy has worked golf in Hawaii in 30 years, though he might not get the same unforgettable moment - Isao Aoki holing out a wedge for eagle on the 18th hole to win the Hawaiian Open at Waialae.

What's the most efficient way to calculate the byte length of a character, taking the character encoding into account? The encoding would be only known during runtime. In UTF-8 for example the characters have a variable byte length, so each character needs to be determined individually. As far now I've come up with this:
char c = getCharSomehow();
String encoding = getEncodingSomehow();
// ...
int length = new String(new char[] { c }).getBytes(encoding).length;
But this is clumsy and inefficient in a loop since a
new String needs to be created everytime. I can't find other and more efficient ways in the Java API. There's a
String#valueOf(char), but according its source it does basically the same as above. I imagine that this can be done with bitwise operations like bit shifting, but that's my weak point and I'm unsure how to take the encoding into account here :)
If you question the need for this, check this topic.
Update: the answer from @Bkkbrad is technically the most efficient:
char c = getCharSomehow();
String encoding = getEncodingSomehow();
CharsetEncoder encoder = Charset.forName(encoding).newEncoder();
// ...
int length = encoder.encode(CharBuffer.wrap(new char[] { c })).limit();
However as @Stephen C pointed out, there are more problems with this. There may for example be combined/surrogate characters which needs to be taken into account as well. But that's another problem which needs to be solved in the step before this step.

Media Advisory 09-004 Research in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education
Event at NSF offers the latest from researchers on STEM learning, and the best approaches for teaching STEM subjects
STEM education researchers are drawing on cognitive sciences to better understand student learning.
Credit and Larger Version

ILLINOIS (WIFR) -- Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois has completed another successful tax season. The Goodwill Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites located in Rockford, Machesney Park, and DeKalb, Illinois, along with a mobile site that traveled to several locations throughout Goodwill's service area, helped return over $2.1 million dollars in refunds to community members this past tax season. Goodwill also partnered with United Way of Eastern LaSalle County in Ottawa to host a site. Thirty-five (35) volunteers worked hard to perform over 1,459 hours of service to file 2,084 tax returns.
"With so many people struggling financially in our communities, the free VITA program provides a much needed service to those in need," stated Sam Schmitz, President of Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois. "By putting over $2.1 million back into the local economy, everyone wins."
Goodwill saved tax filers over $200,000 in tax preparation fees with its free tax preparation service offered to families with income less than $50,000 and individuals with income less than $25,000. All returns were done with an extremely high acceptance rate for e-filed returns.
Goodwill also partnered with the National Disability Institute and United Way Worldwide to expand free federal and state tax preparation and filing assistance to qualified individuals. Funded by the Walmart Foundation, the My Free Taxes program is a free online option for individuals or families with a combined income of $57,000 or less who prefer to file their own taxes. Goodwill helped individuals file 345 free tax returns through the MyFreeTaxes.com initiative.
In the past four years, Goodwill Industries has prepared over 5,400 tax returns for the community, resulting in over $6.7 million in refunds to local low to moderate income residents. Partners for the tax sites include the IRS, National Disability Institute, Kishwaukee United Way and the CA$H Coalition of DeKalb County, United Way of Rock River Valley, Northern Illinois University Accountancy Department, Rockford CA$H Coalition and the City of Rockford. Goodwill looks to continue to expand this initiative in 2013.
For more information regarding Goodwill's VITA sites, please contact Courtney Geiger at (815) 987-6226. For media inquiries, please contact Shannon Halverson at (815) 987-6237.

Did you know that simple blends of fruits, veggies and herbs can actually help you fall asleep, stay asleep and sleep better?!
Good sleep is a precious commodity. It is essential for functioning at your top performance, for building and repairing the body and even for weight loss. Here are a few hormones, minerals and vitamins and some of the fruits and vegetables associated with them that will hopefully help you get the rest that you deserve and need. If you would like to read no further then just turn to the almighty avocado, which contains almost everything and in high quantities.
Our eyes sense as the day grows darker signaling to our bodies to naturally release melatonin from the pituitary gland right between our eyes. Melatonin is the hormone chemical that controls the body's internal clock to regulate sleep. Some people find that taking natural melatonin supplements (either by pill or sub-lingual) can help them fall asleep more easily. Melatonin is often used to prevent jet-lag as well as help night-time workers sleep during day-time. Unfortunately, there are only a few natural food sources of melatonin and the concentrations are very low.
- Cherries: supposedly contain the highest amount of melatonin by size.
- Grapes: also contain melatonin, but significantly less than cherries.
- Ginger: has about 500 picograms per gram of melatonin.
- Tomatoes, bananas, apples, oranges, peppers and spinach also contain minute amounts.
Tryptophan and Serotonin
Tryptophan is that amino acid that is in turkey that everyone blames for the post-Thanksgiving nap. This amino acid is used to make the sleep-inducing chemicals melatonin and serotonin (a relaxing neurotransmitter) in the brain. Being an amino acid, tryptophan is most easily found in animal products. I personally have never tried juicing a chicken wing or fillet of salmon and frankly that does not sound appealing. Here are a few juice-friendly tryptophan foods:
- Kiwi
- Strawberry
- Spinach
- Seaweed
- Asparagus
- Broccoli and cauliflower
- Sweet corn
- Banana (blend, doesn't juice well)
Potassium and magnesium
These two minerals are natural muscle relaxants. The following are a good source of both:
- Spinach, chard, kale and collards
- Parsley
- Cucumbers
- Bananas
- Apricots
- Peaches
B Vitamins
B vitamins are mainly associated as energizers. For this very reason energy drinks are loaded with them. However, research has found that taking a multivitamin with B's in it or taking B vitamins directly do not affect sleep negatively. B vitamins may help achieve a good night's sleep, but they do not alleviate insomnia for all individuals.
- Red peppers (the little hot ones) are the kings of most of the B vitamins.
- Turnips and apricots:
Vitamin B3 (niacin): Promotes sleep in people with depression-induced insomnia and increases the effectiveness of tryptophan. While not proven, it is thought to help people who can fall asleep but have trouble staying asleep.
- Broccoli, cauliflower and dates:
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): Thought to relieve stress and anxiety. Foods containing B5 also help make melatonin.
- Mustard leaves and strawberries:
Vitamin B9 (folic acid): Helps to regulate mood and sleep patterns, especially in older people.
- Seaweed and cider vinegar:
Vitamin B12: Promotes normal sleep-wake cycles, and has been reported to help people with insomnia fall asleep.
Two-Step Ultimate Sleeper
- 1 cup Cherries (pitted)
- 1 cucumber
…or more to make at least 1 delicious cup of juice
Blend with:
- 1 Banana
- 1 cup Spinach
- ½ Avocado
Drink and sleep better!
"But what about all of that sugar right before bed?!"
- Cherries and bananas are low GI… less blood sugar impact.
- Sugar may theoretically have some effects on sleep, depending on an individual's sensitivity to it. However, the sugar from fruit is far less impacting than processed sugar (before bed chocolate fix? Oops, chocolate has caffeine too.)
- The old adage was to have a glass of warm milk before bed to help one fall asleep. Milk has A LOT of sugar, and I personally do not condone drinking milk, ever.
- The healthy fat from the avocado will also control blood sugar levels (i.e. no sugar spike and crash.)
- Plus fruits are low in fat, reasonably low in calories and packed full of fiber, vitamins and minerals that keep us healthy.

Make use of this information to hype up your very own detoxification! Start now!
The detoxification process can also take in the form of a juice fast. Here at FitLife.TV, we recommend people to try the Alpha Reset (AR). The Alpha Reset is a 5 Day Juice Fast. It is part of the Juice with Drew System. This is the first step in your detoxification process. If you are just starting out with juicing, do not jump right into a juice fast right away. Just try 1 juice per day along with the rest of your nutrition and see how your body responds. If your body responds well to juicing, then ramp up the number of juices per day. These healthy, nutrient-dense juices can replace that coffee you reach for in the morning or that soda in the afternoon. Here are some of our followers that have tried the Alpha Reset!

Bladerunner is one of my all time favorite films and I can't see how you would improve it. It was a product of it's time with stunning visuals and a great sound track. The new version will be all slo mo jumping around and blowing stuff up. Who would play Decard Ashton Kutcher???
Ok let's say by some miracle they get rid of all the porn then what? there would only be one website left called bring back the porn!
This reminds me of a Superman comic I read when I was a boy. Star labs created a organism that would eat and digest dirt. It was used to clean drains and it worked really well, until, the organism say anything with a impurity as fair game and started to eat the city. There is a potential here to create a life form with no cure in nature and Kill gene or no Kill gene could have serious consequences. " Life finds a way" Jurassic park quote.

What most posters here are forgetting is that according to the 2001 Census (http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/profiles/commentaries/ethnicity.asp) 87.5 percent of the population were White British, the remaining 12.5 percent do not constitute a mass immigration IMHO. Having grown up in a muslim culture I can assure you we are all not the same, none of my relatives have never seen a bufka. The BNP should exist, if people don't have a outlet for their frustrations and feel isolated they are more likely to take more drastic action.

Goodell: 10-year deal gives NFL ability to make long-term plans
It wasn't a popularity contest. Remember, the only work stoppages during NFL seasons took place during Pete Rozelle's reign, and he was the most beloved and respected commissioner in the history of sports.
"No," Goodell answered when asked if he was concerned about his popularity. "My job is to get an agreement that works for everybody: the fans and all parties."
Goodell couldn't do it alone. He heaped praise on Spanos, who was in the majority of the meetings over the 2 ½ months leading up to the agreement.
"Dean is somewhat understated in his approach, but he's very direct," Goodell said. "He had a huge impact. He doesn't do a lot of talking. One that stuck out was when an issue was being discussed and a player said, 'We can't do it.' Dean said, 'Why can't you do it? What can you do?' We worked it out and moved on. His timing and directness had a great influence on the negotiations.
"Dean was particularly good on the challenges of getting stadiums built, particularly the challenges in California. This is important to our future, the players and the NFL, and we're determined to find a solution."
For certain, the rules changes to protect players (especially offensive ones) since Goodell took the wheel Sept. 1, 2006, have irked many fans, players and even coaches and GMs. But he pooh-poohs the idea that his game has gone soft.
"I support the changes necessary for player safety," he said. "The game is evolving, and the players did a tremendous job telling us what they think is necessary to prepare for a season. We do talk to coaches. Coaches coach."
Coaches would like, say, 320 practice sessions a year.
Anyway, with fewer exercises in pads and an offseason in which nobody was allowed to do anything with their respective clubs, I asked the commissioner if he's concerned about quality of play in 2011.
"Yeah, I think we'll have to keep a focus on two things — quality of play and injuries," he said. "We want to see if the quality of play continues to rise."
Personally, I don't think overall quality of play has risen in recent years, and I don't think I'm alone.
But by then I had exhausted time with an exhausted man. Exhausted?
"Yes," he said, "I think that's fair to say."
Roger Goodell earned that dollar he's making.

Reports have surfaced that an Atlanta jeweler is locked in an ongoing legal battle with rapper Mase over an unpaid tab.
TMZ.com reports that Aydin and Company has sued Mase for $35,000, with bills going back to 2005.
The company is suing Mase for the tab, attorneys fees, and 1.5% interest per month on the money owed.
Court filings assert that the jewelers were unable to serve Mase with legal papers after trying multiple times at his Georgia home, and have had a process server file an affidavit in the case stating Mase is "evading service."

Grand jury #33 that busted football coach child molester Sandusky is onto the Penn Pike
The 33rd Pennsylvania Investigating Grand Jury (33GJ) gained fame by busting Jerry Sandusky a well-known university football coach on scores of child molestation charges, plus others who covered for the queer creep. 33GJ is also striking fear into guys at the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Court documents were today released that say a three year long investigation by 33GJ covers the Turnpike's "employment practices, procurement practices and use of (state) resources to conduct political activities."
140,000 Turnpike documents have been turned over to 33GJ.
These tid-bits turned up because the Turnpike Commission is asserting attorney-client privileges to deny the grand jury certain especially sensitive documents which the state attorney general wants released.
The Turnpike through Conrad O'Brien lawyers in Philadelphia has filed an appeal to the state supreme court in Harrisburg against the Office of the Attorney General which persuaded a judge the grand jury should have complete access to Turnpike documents.
This is revealed in recently "Unsealed" (no longer secret) court filings.
They show the Turnpike has been resisting release of documents for some time, because their appeal to the state supreme court is against a 'hand-em-all-over' ruling against the Turnpike by a senior judge Barry Feudale in April.
Feudale is the judge supervising 33GJ.
The documents say that agents of the state attorney general have succeeded in copying all the hard drives and a Microsoft Exchange server. They want access to emails between Turnpike commissioners and lawyers, which the Turnpike has so far withheld.
In its filing with the supreme court the Turnpike's lawyers argue that attorney-client privilege is state law and that breach of it, as urged by the office of the attorney-general will "work to the detriment of candid advice, sound decisionmaking, and ultimately good government."
One justice dissented but the other supreme court judges ruled they should take the Turnpike appeal.
The story was broken by Ben Present of The Legal Intelligencer called the 'oldest law journal in the United States.'

In a major relief to lakhs of residents in Delhi, the government has relaxed norms for construction of additional floors in residential flats having multiple ownership.
The aim is to weed out corruption and help people get their building plans sanctioned without any hassle.
As per a new directive, people having right over third floor will no longer require to obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the other floor owners for expansion of third floor.
Top officials in the Lt Governor's office said a "very clear-cut" instruction was given to all the municipal bodies last month not to insist on production of NOC for giving approval for construction of third floor". However, the occupants of the existing floors will have the option of expressing their views to the municipal bodies about expansion of the building.
The Lt Governor directed the municipal corporations to examine structural safety and compliance of building bye-laws while giving approval for construction of the third floor. "It was decided that permission for construction of an additional floor may be granted by respective municipalities keeping with provision of building bye-laws," the official note said.
It said the municipal corporation must look into aspects such as "structural safety, fire safety, non obstruction of passages and air and sunshine for neighbours and neighbouring buildings" before approving any building plans.
Officials said occupants of existing floors will have the option of expressing their views to construct a third floor in a flat but the municipal corporation will have to take decision on applications purely on merit.
While the Master Plan of Delhi (MPD)-2021 allowed construction of third floor in residential areas the Supreme Court in an order in 2007 had stayed the provision till it came out with its final order on MPD.

According to Biography.com, the following is a biography on Mindy McCready:
"Country music singer. Born Melinda Gayle McCready on November 30, 1975, in Fort Myers, Florida, McCready started singing at the age of three in her local Pentecostal church. At age nine, she began training for the opera with a retired Juilliard professor, but later decided that she preferred the kind of country singing she'd learned from karaoke tapes of Trisha Yearwood and Reba McEntire. "I liked Madonna and Michael Jackson," she said, "and I was the karaoke queen of my hometown. It was that Garth Brooks-Trisha Yearwood time, and Trisha had just sung 'She's in Love With the Boy.' I fell in love with it; it's so much about what I was doing and how I was growing up. So when I decided to pursue singing professionally, I wanted to sing country."
After graduating early from high school, McCready moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where she signed her first recording contract at age 17. Her first album with BNA Records, Ten Thousand Angels, was released in 1996 and spawned four hit singles, including the chart-topping "Guys Do It All the Time." The album was certified double platinum and soon McCready was headlining concerts alongside country music legends like George Strait and Tim McGraw. Her songs were notable for their strong female voice and empowering lyrics. She says, "All my songs are tunes that women will want to listen to and say, 'Yes, sister!' They're not traditionally country, in the sense that they have images of dogs in trucks or submissive women. If the women aren't equal to the men, the songs aren't there for me. 'Stand By Your Man' is not the Mindy McCready way. No way. If he's not a good guy, I'm not standing by him!"
McCready followed her smash debut with 1997's If I Don't Stay the Night, which was certified gold, and 1999's I'm Not So Tough, which did not sell well. When BNA dropped her third record, McCready signed with Capitol Records and released her 2002 album Mindy McCready. The album again proved commercially disappointing and McCready was also dropped from Capitol."

SUPER BOWL WATCH: Katrina, Coin flip bets, Modell
- "I don't have any hard feelings. ... "It's time to move on and get ready for next season. We just have to move forward." -Edwin Cowart of Gretna, La., sporting a Jimmy Graham Saints jersey. He says he's following the lead of coaches and players in moving on.
- Stacey Plaisance
We asked AP pro football writer Barry Wilner to pick five key players for each team in this Super Bowl. You'll want to pay attention to these guys on Sunday.
First, for the Baltimore Ravens:
-JOE FLACCO (QB, JERSEY NO. 5): Flacco is on a personal streak this postseason with eight touchdowns and no interceptions in three games. He outplayed top draftee Andrew Luck, then Peyton Manning, then Tom Brady in leading the Ravens to the Super Bowl. And he's been successful in the playoffs over his five-year career - he has an 8-4 playoff record and an NFL record by leading his team to playoff wins in each of his first five seasons.
-RAY RICE (RB, JERSEY NO. 27): Rice has been the hub of the Ravens' offense throughout his career - a threat to break long gains on runs or screen passes. This season, he rushed for 1,143 yards and nine TDs, caught 61 passes for 478 yards. He has two touchdowns in the postseason.
-RAY LEWIS (ILB, JERSEY NO. 52): Lewis has been the emotional engine for Baltimore his entire career, and retires after this game. Teammate Bernard Pollard calls him "The Raven." Lewis missed 10 games this year with a torn right triceps, but has been sensational in playoffs with 44 tackles. He was the MVP of the 2001 Super Bowl, the Ravens' only championship, and Defensive Player of Year in 2000 and 2003.
-PAUL KRUGER (DE, JERSEY NO. 99): Kruger had a breakout season and has been among the best defenders in playoffs. He led Baltimore with nine sacks and has 2 1/2 in the postseason. He's very disruptive and also can drop into coverage, though that's not his strength. He doesn't get double-teamed as much with Terrell Suggs getting healthier.
-CARY WILLIAMS (CB, JERSEY No. 29): Williams is a very up-and-down defender who has two picks in postseason, including one in the end zone in the AFC championship. A so-so tackler, better as coverage man, yet made 75 tackles during the season. Williams joined the Ravens in 2009 after Tennessee cut him.
- Barry Wilner
Repeating something the league has been saying for more than a year, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he hopes there will be HGH testing soon - before the start of the 2013 season if he has his way.
Your turn, players' union.
The league and union paved the way for testing two seasons ago in the collective bargaining agreement. But the sides have been at an impasse, with the NFL Players Association saying it needs more information about the validity of a test that is used by Olympic sports and Major League Baseball. The union also has issues with the appeals process, saying the league won't agree to the independent arbitrator that Major League Baseball's drug-testing program has.

Located on the border between Kirkland and Bellevue is the massive and expansive Bridle Trails Park. Fittingly named for the amount of horses that traverse the many trails and paths throughout the park. With over 23 miles of trails winding their way through the park there is always a new venture waiting to happen to those brave enough to see it for themselves.
The Bridle Trails Park is made possible by the Park Foundation and donations provided there of. It's in association with the Washington State Parks as well and desires to preserve the natural resources of the surrounding areas. Folks in the area that benefit from the park also contribute to the future and preservation of the Bridle Trails park.
Because these trails are very well maintained you may encounter construction or maintenance crews along the way. There is always upkeep on such a large and extensive park. Winding through the park on horse back is really like being in the mountains somewhere. It's hard to imagine you are just minutes from the bustling city. There are markers along the way so you never get lost and can identify places and marked trails.
On the south side of the Bridle Trails park is a huge water tough for your tired horse. Most of the park is dense woods and only the trail is the visible ground you see. Although you can walk it it's best seen on a horse and they have the right away. There are no motor vehicles or bikes allowed and dogs must be on a leash.
Bridle Trails State Park is an equestrian and pedestrian park. To ensure that everyone enjoys the park safely, it is important to follow park rules provided by http://www.bridletrails.org/Park_Rules.html :
From I-405 Northbound:
Exit freeway at Exit #17 (NE 70th St.)
Turn right at end of freeway exit onto 116th Ave. NE
At NE 60th St. Stop sign, continue straight ahead
Park entrance is on the left hand side of the road.
From I-405 Southbound:
Exit freeway at Exit #17 (NE70th St.)
Turn right at end of freeway exit onto NE 70th St.
At light, turn right onto 116th Ave. NE

Twitter enables global State Department briefings
During the month of January the State Department will take five questions from the international Twitter community every Friday after its daily press briefing. The department fielded questions during its first Twitter briefing Jan. 6, responding to tweets that used the hash tag #AskState.
"The Secretary is encouraging all of us to use new technology and innovation as a key part of our foreign policy agenda," said Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland during the briefing.
In its first Twitter breifing, the department responded to questions submitted in five languages from its official twitter feeds: English (@StateDept), Arabic (@USAbilAraby), Chinese (@USA_Zhongwen), Farsi (@USAdarFarsi) and French (@USAenFrancais).
In week two of the exercise, Nuland will respond to questions Jan. 13 from five different languages: Hindi (@USAHindiMein), Portuguese (@USAemPortugues), Russian (@USApoRusski), Spanish (@USAenEspanol) and Urdu (@USAUrdu).
Following the briefing, responses will be made available on the department's YouTube Channel in subtitled video clips corresponding to the language of the question.
Despite more than 500 tweets using the #AskState hash tag, only the following questions were selected for an official response from Nuland:
- In Arabic @Justicefinally1 asked about the U.S. refusal to intervene militarily to stop the massacre against Syrian civilians, and wanted to know why not;
- Through the U.S. Embassy Sina Weibo's Chinese language feed, "Anakin" asked if the United States' global leadership depends more on improving its human rights status or maintaining its global military presence;
- In English @ObSilence asked why the State Department supports regime change in Sudan where government-led genocide continues, where it has taken a different stance in Syria and Libya;
- In Farsi @Aminlv asked a two-part question about Iran cutting off the Internet and the status of the suitcase Internet, and the U.S. procedure on the threats that Iran will close passage through the Straits of Hormuz; and
- In French, @jbhutchinson asked if a scaled-back military strategy will effect NATO.
Anyone looking for a frank discussion of issues may have been disappointed, however. Nuland's responses were fairly predictable and echoed State Department policy on many of the issues raised. Nuland said NATO commitments wouldn't be threatened, the nation is focused on both military and human rights, and the department is committed to Internet freedom and condemns Internet censorship in Iran. Nuland said because Syrian opposition has asked that foreign forces not intervene and because the United States hopes for a peaceful transition to a democratic Syria, it will not intervene militarily.
In response to the question on Sudan with comparisons to Syria and Lybia, she noted that each country and each situation is different.
Nuland's language was slightly charged, however, when speaking on the "bellicose rhetoric from the Iranian regime on the Straits of Hormuz." The United States considers the Straits of Hormuz to be international waters and she said the State Department anticipates the Navy will continue to help maintain freedom of navigation through the Straits of Hormuz.

Bangalore, May 15 (TruthDive): Pushpalatha a woman in 30's in Bangalore who tried to stop the wedding of an advocate, which was going on at Kodigehalli Gate in Bellary Road, claimed the man had married her already in a temple four years back. Pushpalatha and Prabhakar, were in love with each other for the past six years since their college days.
Pushpalatha hailing from T Dasarahalli, along with activists of women's organization reached the hall which was thronged with friends and relatives, in the neck of the moment, a few minutes before the muhurtham. As she entered the hall she ran towards the bride and told her that the boy whom she is going to get married was in love with her since their college days.
They both studied together at Vivekanada Law College in Rajajinagar, and also claimed that Prabhakar has tied the marriage knot four years back at a temple in Pandavapura near Srirangapatana.
Prabhakar and Pushpalatha went to see a movie on Wednesday, just three days before his marriage, but then still he did not reveal that he is going to get married to another one girl. She also said that as there was no evidence to her claims she cannot prove what she said.
She stated that even Prabhakar's parents were aware of their love. Pushpalatha came to know about the marriage only after she received a notice from Prabhakar on Friday, which declared that he had no relationship with her. Unfortunately the next day was a court holiday, she was not able to give a reply to the notice, immediately, Pushpalatha said.
After the police intervened both the parties had an ear to ear discussion in a room and came to a conclusion. Later Prabhakar married Poornima with whom the marriage was fixed. The police said that if Pushpalatha gives a complaint against Prabhakar, they will take action against the advocate.

How can I get my husband to change stinky diapers?
My husband practically vomits if he has to smell or look at our son's dirty diapers. I've been nice about it and tried to encourage him, but now I'm just mad. Is this a normal man thing or is my husband a spoiled, immature brat?

My husband HATES poopy diapers. He is a great dad otherwise, just can't handle the dirties. I understood a little more when he made the following analogy: I detest bugs - of any kind - and demand that any one that finds its way into the house be killed/removed immediately...that is his job and he does it willingly. His "bugs" are dirty diapers -- he can't stand to get near them, same as i can't stand to get near a bug in the house. im a stay at home mom, so i handle the poopy diapers...i figure he does so many other important things for us :) Anonposted 09/22/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
My Dh does not like to change poopies either - and we've been to a marriage counselor regarding other issues, and since that time, i have just learned to let some things go, the small things are just not worth the big fight. as someone else said before, find something else you would rather not do & he does it & consider it fair trade... he takes the kids when i go out, and takes care of things then. in the beginning it did frustrate me, but i let it go. he does other things with our children, and changing a dirty drawer is not going to make him a better father (nor me a better mother). it is something that has to be done, but i am NOT going to let it ruin our relationship and our family. is it worth it? i do understand the fact that sometimes everyone needs a little help and a little break, but it just seems there is a lot of negativity & hostility here, and all that does is breed more of the same... just my opinionposted 06/17/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Hello ladies, I would just like to say stop it! Everyone is being so childish by bashing these guys. Have you ever thought that maybe it isn't the smell. Maybe these guys are afraid they will screw up or not be as good as we are. My husband is great with our 1 month old. Of course he said changing dirty diapers would make him sick but he does it anyway. He changed the first diaper at the hospital and you know the first one normally is the worst looking one anyway. My husband told me before we were pregnant that he knew all there was to know about babies. I knew it was bs but I went along with it anyway. After our son was born he admitted he knew absolutely nothing and that any advice given would be great. So my point is that maybe most men are just nervous. Don't criticize them or demand they do something. Simply ask for help then guide them through what needs to be done. The result is priceless. I mean after all, you wouldn't want him to demand that you do things would you? I hope this helped.posted 06/16/2004 by JennyLeigh23
The question was how do i get my husband to help. Talk to him. Try to make him understand that it stinks (haha) to have to change EVERY poopy diaper. That you would really appreciate if he could take one once in a while. Every once in a while i feel overwhelmed and talk to him about how i need him to help with her, dinner, cleaning, etc. It makes me feel loved and appreciated when he lets me sleep in on the weekend or stays up late with her. This board really shows how differently people feel about how mom and dad's roles should be fullfilled. Congrats to all who do it all on thier own. After my maternity leave ended my husband stayed home for three months. I know he needed a break when i got home from work. Some days he practically kissed me hello and handed her to me. lol. I understood. I really needed help after my emergency c-section, the two months our daughter had colic and need a break now and then since i work full time. So ladies if you feel you need help. Ask for it.posted 06/04/2004 by blackett
Whoever said that changing a dirty diaper is just woman's work? I think it's a shame that some of the women on this board say "He goes and works to provide for us, so i take care of the girls, as it SHOULD be"?!?! In today's day and age there are mothers that work and fathers that stay home, do you think those fathers are waiting until the mom comes home so she can change the diaper? Having children, I believe, means the both of you, (mom AND dad) share in everything. The good times, like playing outside & playing peekaboo AS WELL AS the bad, i.e. kissing boo-boos, comforting in the middle of the night, and of course, changing the occasional stinky diaper. Fathers and mothers should be able to share the responsibilities of raising their children. I think the mother of today that has the mentality of a 60's housewife is a sad sad thing.posted 06/03/2004 by angelbaby0906
my girls have a wonderful realationship with their father. Just because he doesnt change a poopy diaper doesnt mean he doesnt love them. He goes and works to provide for us, so i take care of the girls, as it should be. He plays with them and provides for them so he is not a bad dad for not wiping their butts.posted 06/02/2004 by alaskanprincess
Huh so its a womans job these days to take care of kids all alone? That is not true 90% maybe but, not 100% these days especially with 3 kids I do believe once and a while woman need help! Not only do they need it,Its also a nice gesture from the husband to help with his children. Children are close to their caretakers and the people who provide their needs! SO therefore daddy needs to put in at least 30 min a day. I mean what in the world some men do it all alone and get help from family members right? I believe these woman who think that men should not help huh? well like i said before when you finally have a melt down or have something going on at a moment I guess you do it alone? AMAZING you are. ten stars for you but, 1 day you will wish you hadn't spoke these words!posted 06/02/2004 by jacyemma
I can't get my husband to change ANY of our 8 1/2 month old son's diapers - poopy or not! I thought maybe he's afraid of touching his "little manhood"!posted 06/01/2004 by pipkoons
If your husbund won't change his babys dia[er he is an ignorant fool, with no respect for you or your baby. what a lazy lazy man. My husband is great and he will do it for me anytime, and I f I'm not around he's definatly not going to let him sit around in a dirty diaper.. sick!posted 06/01/2004 by Nataliemiss
I wonder if there are any moms out there who outright refuse to change poopy diapers?* Doubt it. I suspect this "I can't change the poopy because I will get sick" excuse is a strictly male phenomenon? I strongly disagree with Mother of 2 angels and think she must be from the 19th century?LOL. *Excluding pregnant women with sensitive noses/stomachs.posted 06/01/2004 by willowsummers

State sen questioning Big Island election results
By Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) A state senator is questioning the results of a Hawaii County council race after the primary election held in storm-damaged areas of the Big Island.
State Sen. Russell Ruderman says he plans to file a complaint with the Hawaii Elections Commission at a meeting Friday.
He says voters were disenfranchised because they couldn't get to the polls due to damage from Tropical Storm Iselle.
Ruderman also is calling for Chief Elections Officer Scott Nago to be fired.
Nago says he was following the law when his office decided how the election would proceed. Nago says his office was told voters had access to the polls and that no roads were blocked.
Ruderman started the process of a more formal election challenge but changed his mind Tuesday morning.

Sheriff Gets Permission to Hire Additional Deputy
MADISON - Madison County Sheriff Vern Hjorth has received permission from the Board of Commissioners to add a deputy to his staff. At this week's meeting of the County Board, Hjorth explained that many of his deputies have been with the county long enough that they qualify for three weeks of vacation each year. He says one deputy currently spends most of his scheduled time covering for officers who are on vacation or out for other reasons. The sheriff estimated the cost of equipping a vehicle, salary and benefits at about $40,000, but said the deputy would not be hired until mid-way through the budget year, lessening the initial impact. Commissioners authorized Hjorth to hire the extra deputy as well as to hire a replacement for another long-time deputy who is moving to Otoe County. With the new hire, Madison County will have nine full-time deputies.

During my college career, I've attended a ton of basketball games. Everyone across campus goes because we want to support the team. However, my support for the Wabash College basketball team has greatly increased since I've been a Rhyne.
The Rhynies provide entertainment for the crowd during half-time and times outs. Usually, this entertainment comes in the form of building a pyramid, wheel barrel races, and dancing. Now dont laugh when I say we dance. For a bunch of college guys who dont anything about rhythym, we do alright.
We do so well that the Rhynies usually have a dance-off with some other dance team. This semester, we've challenged the girl dance teams at IU, Ball State, and Butler. I have to admit that our final basketball dance of the season was pretty fantastic, but the first we gave this season was pretty good too.
So, I'll just let you be the judge of it yourself. In the Spring 2009 Rhyne's first Youtube appearance, I give you Beyonce's Single Ladies.
PS- The Rhynes dont make an appearance until about 45 seconds into the video

In an attempt to understand the Islamic Republic of Iran—a regime that has bedeviled the United States since the 1979 revolution—U.S. analysts often invoke three historical analogies, comparing Iran to Red China, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union. While the Iranian government—an increasingly militarized theocracy—is sui generis, former U.S. diplomat George Kennan's 1947 essay, "The Sources of Soviet Conduct," reveals instructive behavioral parallels between the Iranian and Soviet regimes. A close reading of Kennan's analysis suggests some key lessons current U.S. policy makers should consider in dealing with Iran, including:
Kennan's wisdom does not call on the United States to shun dialogue with Tehran, but merely to temper its expectations. Talking to Iran will not resolve the real, serious differences the United States has with the Islamic Republic, but given Iran's influence on major U.S. foreign policy challenges—namely Iraq, Afghanistan, Arab-Israeli peace, terrorism, energy security, and nuclear proliferation—it can help mitigate the risk of escalation and misunderstanding.
In the process, Kennan would caution, the United States should remain "at all times cool and collected" until the Iranian regime is forced to change under the weight of its contradictions and economic malaise. "For no mystical, Messianic movement," Kennan wrote in 1947, "can face frustration indefinitely without eventually adjusting itself one way or another to the logic of that state of affairs."

Fall is my busy, busy, busy season at work. Ten hour work days became a weekly occurrence and by the time I get leave the office I am too tired to even think about cooking dinner. Yesterday I did not get home until after 6:30 and I was greeted at the door with slobbery kisses from our 80 pound lab, an extremely hyper four-year old and an excited 7-year-old who wanted to show me her 50th day of school outfit (a 50's poodle skirt, pink scarf and cat-eye glasses).
During my commute home from work, I picked up my phone to call my husband to tell him to order pizza for dinner. Then I remembered that I had put a roast in the crock pot that morning. Even though I had cooked two meals on Monday night, ground turkey tacos and Quinoa Vegetable Salad with Thai Chili Chicken, I was tired of eating leftovers for lunch and dinner for two days straight. It was such a relief to walk into the house Wednesday night and know that dinner was ready and waiting for me. Crock pot meals are this working mom's saving grace when it comes to weeknight meals.
Ever since we turned the clocks back an hour, my kids have been waking up before 6:00 AM. This means they wander into my bathroom in their pajamas while I am getting ready for work and proceed to fight over who gets to sit in front of the small space heater while arguing over who gets to play Crazy Dentist on my phone. By the time I get dressed and get downstairs to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, the kids are asking for me to make them pancakes, the dog is whining at the door to go outside and my patience is already worn thin. Basically I have very little time to spare in the morning, so I LOVED how simple it was to start dinner yesterday.
While I don't usually buy prepackaged meals I had a chance to try a new product from Campbell's this week, Sweet Korean BBQ slow cooker sauce. There are six flavors of Campbell's slow cooker sauces and we have tried two of them. It was super simple – I just opened the sauce packet, poured it over the roast and turned the crock pot on low for 10 hours. There was no need to add any extra seasonings, broth or water.
When my crock pot finishes cooking, it switches over to the warm setting so when I got home last night the roast was still warm. The kids had already eaten dinner, so my husband and I were the only ones who tasted the roast. I thought the Sweet Korean BBQ had a strong vinegar flavor and it was a little oily. It would have tasted better over rice or mashed sweet potatoes and next time I might whisk in some flour or cornstarch to thicken the sauce. My husband commented that it would make delicious tacos, which is perfect since I have leftover taco shells from the turkey tacos I made earlier this week. When he ate roast again tonight, he said it tasted better as leftovers.
Last week we tried a different flavor, the Apple Bourbon BBQ that I poured over a pork tenderloin. I put it in the crock pot before we left for church on Sunday morning and it was ready by late afternoon. Instead of buns, I used small sweet rolls to make mini pulled pork sandwiches.
Based on the description of sweet peppers and brown sugar on the package, I expected a sweeter BBQ flavor from the sauce. Next time I would add some brown sugar or honey for added sweetness and a touch of apple cider vinegar. This flavor was more kid-friendly than the Sweet Korean BBQ, especially served on the sweet rolls. It was still a great base sauce for the pork and an easy way to get dinner on the table quick during the week.
