The Australian novelist Richard Flanagan was recently asked by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to read a favourite piece of fiction on national radio and explain his reasons for the choice.
"I was unsure what fiction to read to you this morning," he said. "If we take the work of our most successful spinner of fictions in recent times, [Prime Minister] John Howard (right), I could have read from the varied and splendid tall tales he and his fellow storytellers have concocted…"
He listed Howard's most famous fictions: that desperate refugees trying to reach Australia had wilfully thrown their children overboard, and that faraway Australia was endangered by Iraq's "weapons of hysterical distraction", as he put it.
He followed this with Molly Bloom's soliloquy from Joyce's Ulysses, "because in our time of lies and hate it seems appropriate to be reminded of the beauty of saying yes to the chaos of truth…"
This was duly recorded; but when the programme was broadcast, the entire preface about Howard was missing. Flanagan accused the ABC of rank censorship. No, was the response; they just didn't want "anything political". This was followed, he wrote, by "a moment of high comedy: would I, the producer asked, be interested in coming on a programme to discuss disillusionment in contemporary Australia?"
In a society that once prided itself on its laconic sense of irony, there was not a hint of it, just a managerial silence. "All around me," Flanagan later wrote, "I see avenues for expression closing, an odd collusion of an ever-more cowed media and the way in which the powerful seek to dictate what is and what isn't read and heard."
He may well be speaking for the rest of us. The censorship in Australia that he describes is especially virulent because Australia is a small media pond inhabited by large sharks: a microcosm of what the British might expect if the current assault on free journalism is not challenged. The leader of this assault is, of course, Rupert Murdoch, (far right, with friend) whose dominance in the land of his birth is now symptomatic of his worldwide grip.
Of 12 daily newspapers in the capital cities, Murdoch controls seven. Of the ten Sunday newspapers, Murdoch has seven. In Adelaide, he has a complete monopoly. He owns everything, including all the printing presses. It is almost impossible to escape his augmented team of Pravdas.
Like all his newspapers, they follow the path paved with his "interests" and his extremism. They echo Murdoch's description of Bush and Blair as "heroes" of the Iraq invasion, and his dismissal of the blood they spilt. For good measure, his tabloid the Herald Sun invented an al-Qaeda terrorist training camp near Melbourne; and all his papers promote John Howard's parrot-like obsequiousness to Bush, just as they laud Howard's racist campaign against a few thousand asylum-seekers who are locked away in outback concentration camps.
Murdochism, disguised or not, is standard throughout the media he does not control. The Melbourne Age, once a great liberal newspaper whose journalists produced a pioneering charter of editorial independence, is often just another purveyor of what Orwell called "smelly little orthodoxies", wrapped in lifestyle supplements. Flickering beacons are the visionary Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), which was set up to serve Australia's multi-ethnic society, and the eternally battered ABC.
The ABC is different from the BBC, its model, in one crucial respect. It has no licence fee and must rely on government handouts. In Australia, political intimidation of the national broadcaster makes Downing Street's campaign against the BBC seem almost genteel. Howard's minister for communications, a far-right dullard called Richard Alston, recently demanded that the ABC reply to 68 counts of "anti-Americanism". What the government wants is no less than an oath of loyalty to the foreign power to which it has surrendered sovereignty.
Charges of "left-wing bias", familiar in Britain and just as ridiculous, drone out of both the Murdoch and non-Murdoch press. A Sydney Morning Herald commentator, a local echo of the far right's "monitoring" of the media in America, has attacked the ABC for years. With no guarantee of financial independence, the ABC has bent to the pressure; the censorship experienced by Richard Flanagan is not unusual. More seriously, current affairs investigations that might be construed as "left wing" are not commissioned. As one well-known journalist told me: "We have a state of fear. If you're a dissenter, you're out."
The despair felt by many Australians about this, and the cosmetic democracy in Canberra that it reflects, expresses itself in huge turnouts at public meetings. More than 34,000 attended the recent Melbourne Writers' Festival, where, said the director, "anything political" and "any session that allowed people to express a view" was a sell-out.
The global model for censorship by omission in free societies is America, which constitutionally has the freest press in the world. In Washington, Charles Lewis, the former CBS 60 Minutes producer who runs the Centre for Public Integrity, told me:
"Under Bush, the silence among journalists is worse than in the 1950s. Murdoch is the most influential media mogul in America; he sets the standard, and there is no public discussion about it. Why do 70 per cent of the American public believe Saddam Hussein was behind the attacks of 9/11? Because the media's constant echoing of the government guarantees it. Without the complicity of journalists, Bush would never have attacked Iraq."
Harnessing journalism and reducing it to the "spokesman's spokesman", a branch of corporate and government public relations, is the hidden agenda of the new media deregulators.
In the US, the Federal Communications Commission (run by Colin Powell's son) is finally to deregulate television so that Murdoch's Fox Channel and four other conglomerates control 90 per cent of the terrestrial and cable audience. That is the spectre in Britain, with a Blairite placeman now overseeing public service broadcasting in the new commercial deregulator, Oftel, which has a remit to follow the American "market" path. The next step is to end the licence fee and diminish the BBC to a version of its Australian prodigy. That is Blair's agenda.
The genesis for this – and for the current Blair/Murdoch campaign against the BBC's independence – can be traced back to 1995, when Murdoch flew the Blairs first class to Hayman Island, off the Queensland coast. In the tropical sunshine and standing at the blue News Corp lectern, the future British prime minister waxed lyrical about his "new moral purpose in politics" and pledged himself to hand over the media to the "enterprise" of those like his host, who applauded him warmly.
The next day, satire died again when Murdoch's Sun commented: "Mr Blair has vision, he has purpose and he speaks our language on morality and family life."

of the so called "backup programs" for a few simple reasons.
1. None that I know of back up the registry.
2. Someone is always having trouble with them, I would be one too.
3. Backing up running programs does not work, period, because of reason number one.
Once a week I back up my photos, emails, favorites, documents, etc. If I have a major failure I'll just reinstall the OS. And I have every program installer I have running on my PC. It's just too easy to reinstall a program rather than try to "restore" it.
A good program for backing up Outlook Express, if you use it, is called Outlook Express Freebie Backup. It's at my site below.
Click here to see the CNet faces, learn a little about internet
connections and data, and download free software.
If you're reading this, thank a teacher. If you're reading this in English, thank a U.S. soldier.
I would like to back up a large number of files and directories to multiple DVDs.
The program descriptions for the backup SW I've seen so far don't explicitly state whether spanning multiple DVDs is supported (maybe this is assumed to be present)?
Any suggestions for a good backup/restore app that supports spanning multiple DVDs?
Of course, the key for backups is that restoring works well. Many users seem to be having trouble with restoring files from backups. For any apps that you suggest, can you tell me whether you have successfully performed single file and/or multi-file (directory and/or disk) recovery?

Entry #7
Back in Action (almost)
2013-05-24 14:08:03 by DarkSignal
Evening Gents,
If anyone still out there is wondering why this account has been inactive for a while, it's because I've been playing a part in developing Noppe's Custom NPCs mod for the minecraft game, for any of you who don't know what the mod is, you may check it out Here.
Since Madness day is on the way again, I'll be working on another madness animation over the summer. This one's going to be alot more related to the madness series, and will have that fast paced violence that every madness fan loves. After that, If I have time before the day comes, I'll probably put up some more intermission material.
There's an even bigger madness project that I'm trying to put together as well, and hopefully I can actually start that up soon, assuming I don't get bogged down with other things.
That is all

No. 8: Corey Graham's final interception
Jan. 12, 2013 He already had one, which he returned for a touchdown in the first quarter. This one ended the game. Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was all set to lead his team to the AFC Championship. He aimed for wide receiver Brandon Stokley, but Graham got there first. And the Broncos, with their all-star quarterback and stellar record, fell to the Ravens.

@skelband, I sympathize with your skepticism, but I don't give away my wanderings. There's too much associated with this nym. I'll simply say that a tiny Midwestern town has a single-proprietor PC shop, and when I asked the owner if he sold Linux systems, he made a point of telling me that his basic intro system was Linux Mint. Linux in general, and Linux Mint in particular, is reaching Heartland, USA. |

EMC Corporation has announced ATA disk drive support for its Clariion series of distributed disk arrays. EMC has integrated lower-cost ATA disk assemblies into the existing Clariion architecture. The Clariion subsystems can intermix fibre channel DAEs (Disk Array Enclosures) with ATA-based DAEs. All Clariion functionality, redundancy and availability are retained with the ATA-based arrays.
Additionally, EMC has integrated Clariion with ATA with its own backup and restore application, EMC Data Manager (EDM), and tested and support leading backup vendor applications. EMC Clariion with ATA partners and solutions include CommVault Galaxy, Computer Associates (CA) BrightStor ARCserve Backup and BrightStor Enterprise Backup, KVS Enterprise Vault, Legato NetWorker, EmailXtender as well as Veritas NetBackup and VERITAS Backup Exec.
Clariion with ATA subsystems are immediately available. Clariion CX600 and CX400 arrays immediately support 250GB 5,400 rpm ATA drives. List pricing for a 10-terabyte Clariion configuration starts at $170,000.
Clariion disk drive specifications
Rotational speed | 15,000 rpm | 10,000 rpm | 10,000 rpm | 5,400 rpm |
Latency | 2 ms | 2.99 ms | 2.99 ms | 5.5 ms |

Concurrently with the Clariion ATA support, EMC announced new SAN software. SAN Copy is a Clariion-based LUN replication that moves LUNs/volumes between current and legacy EMC Clariion and Symmetrix storage subsystems.
SAN Copy is managed via ControlCenter Navisphere. It will support both local and remote distances (WAN with FC/IP). LUNs may be copied between Clariion CX and Clariion FC arrays, CLARiiON and Symmetrix (8000 and DMX) and HP StorageWorks and Clariion.(1) A Clariion subsystem acts as a "copy manager" and communicates via World Wide Names. The copy manager uses SnapView snapshot and/or SnapView BCV, TimeFinder BCV or an idle production LUN as its source.
SAN Copy is available immediately and starts at $18,000.
Evaluator Group comments:
The introduction of ATA technology into the Clariion family of arrays represents a major cost saving opportunity for many users. The integration of ATA drives into the existing architecture allows users to take advantage of the management applications that comprise EMC's AutoIS strategy. Clariion with ATA supports EMC Data Manager for high-performance backup-to-disk and recovery as well as EMC Replication Manager for automated recovery. SAN-based and server-less backup capabilities of EDM can be combined with Clariion-ATA for a cost-effective disk backup solution that surpasses tape in price/performance characteristics. The trend of using ATA technology to reduce storage costs continues with this announcement. We believe EMC has made a very smart move by integrating ATA-technology into the existing Clariion architecture.1. The SAN Copy for Clariion and HP StorageWorks is a professional services only service. Currently it will support only the Series of HP arrays.

Summary Project objective is to promote the transfer of students of the universities of Innsbruck and for the first time of Salzburg to companies, offering them possibilities to gain degree related work experience during their studies. Moreover the project aims to assist feed-back from enterprises to universities to inform the latter how to improve their study programmes to better meet the demands of industrial life and to improve the students future employability. Continuous co-operation assists to build a functioning network bet-ween Universities and enterprises opening channels for employment opportunities and international experienc for students.We intend to send students to companies in Europe. The average training period will be five months. The preselection of candidates is done by the placement co-ordinator in correspondence with the students qualification and the enterprise need. The final decision in any case is to the company. Creditation and validation is subject to the final report and to company evaluation of the placement in accordance with the job-description. Possibilities of academic recognition will be checked at the beginning of the placement. All the trainees are obliged to present a report after the placement. The host enterprises are interviewed about the outcome and they will also deliver an evaluation report for feed back.

Setting the VW40 up is unusually straightforward. A single Lens button on the remote calls up a grid-based test screen, with the option to mechanically adjust the image's focus, zoom and vertical position and the levels of flexibility in the zoom (1.8x) and vertical shift departments is impressive, making the projector easily adaptable to almost any room size, really.
A search through the tidily presented onscreen menus, meanwhile, reveals a surprising amount of flexibility for such an affordable projector. Particularly key are its image presets, since these fundamentally alter the basic settings of the image. Not surprisingly, the one we got most joy out of with a selection of films was the Cinema preset - but there were a number of other bits and bobs we fiddled around with too to get things looking just right.
You should definitely pay the Cinema Black Pro memory option a visit, for instance, since in there you can find two critical features: the Advanced Iris options, and the facility to switch the lamp between low and high output. Both these features can have a considerable effect on the quality of the VW40's pictures in terms of their brightness and contrast, and you should definitely play with them at length before you settle on the configuration that pleases your eye the most.
For the record, my own preference was for Auto Iris 1 and the lamp set to low, as I felt this delivered the best combination of black level and brightness to suit my fully blacked-out room.
Within an 'Expert Setting' submenu, meanwhile, you will also find further black level tweaks in the shape of an option to adjust a black level boosting processor, and a Gamma adjustment.
And still there's more. For a Real Colour Processing menu option allows you to adjust the hue of a specific colour without changing the whole image, and the projector ships with Image Director 3 software so that you can fine tune the projector's gamma settings to an almost infinite degree.
Of course, I suspect most home users won't bother with all of this stuff; particularly the RCP and Image Director 3 software. But their presence is sure to make the VW40 a more appealing option to installation companies, so Sony is wise to provide them.
At this point it's probably quickly worth covering some of the key things the VW40 doesn't have that the far more expensive VW200 does. And so we find the VW200 sporting an expensive Xenon lamp to produce a wider, richer colour gamut, a contrast ratio roughly double that of the VW40, and all manner of ground breaking image processing systems designed to optimise the picture for different sources.

President Obama's Weekly Address: "Opening Doors for Small Business"
Weekly Address: Opening Doors for Small Business
Remarks of President Barack Obama
As Prepared for Delivery
Weekly Address
February 6, 2010Even though our economy is growing again, these are still tough times for America. Too many businesses are still shuttered. Too many families can't make ends meet. And while yesterday, we learned that the unemployment rate has dropped below ten percent for the first time since summer, it is still unacceptably high – and too many Americans still can't find work.
But what we must remember at a time like this is that we are not helpless in the face of our difficulties. As Americans, we make our own destiny. We forge our own path. And I am confident that if we come together and put aside the politics that keeps holding us back, we can do that again. We can rebuild this economy on a new, stronger foundation that leads to more jobs and greater prosperity.
I believe a key part of that foundation is America's small businesses – the places where most new jobs begin.
These companies represent the essence of the American spirit – the promise that anyone can succeed in this country if you have a good idea and the determination to see it through. And every once in awhile, these ideas don't just lead to a new business and new jobs, but a new American product that forever changes the world. After all, Hewlett Packard began in a garage. Google began as a simple research project.
Government can't create these businesses, but it can give entrepreneurs the support they need to open their doors, expand, or hire more workers. And that's what we've always done in this country. The folks at Southwest Windpower in Flagstaff, Arizona started their company in a small home. Since getting a loan from the Small Business Administration, they've sold 160,000 wind turbines to about 90 different countries, and are hiring even more workers today. When Sam Ko walked into one of the SBA's small business development centers in Illinois, he didn't have any business experience at all – just a patent for a new metal manufacturing technology. He was given a loan and a business plan, and today his company is still growing, with offices all over the Midwest.
Last year, the steps we took supported over 47,000 loans to small businesses and delivered billions in tax relief to small business owners, which helped companies keep their doors open, make payroll, and hire workers. But we can and must do more. That's why I've proposed a series of steps this week to support small business owners and the jobs they create – to provide more access to credit, more incentives to hire, and more opportunities to grow and sell products all over the world.
Because financing remains difficult for good, credit-worthy small businesses across the country, I've proposed that we take $30 billion from the TARP fund originally used for Wall Street and create a new Small Business Lending Fund that will provide capital for community banks on Main Street. These are the small, local banks that will be able to give our small business owners more of the credit they need to stay afloat. We should also continue to waive fees, increase guarantees, and expand the size of SBA-backed loans for small businesses. And yesterday, I proposed making it easier for small business owners to refinance their mortgages during these tough times.
To give these companies greater incentives to grow and create jobs, I've proposed a new tax credit for more than one million small businesses that hire new workers or raise wages, as well as the elimination of all capital gains taxes on small business investment.
Finally, we should provide targeted support to the most innovative small businesses – the ones with the greatest potential to export new goods and products all over the world. A lot of these companies – like the wind turbine manufacturer I mentioned – are the foundation on which we can rebuild our economy to compete in the 21st century. They just need a little help securing the financing they need to get off the ground. We have every incentive to help them do that.
Next week, Congress will start debating many of these proposals. And if anyone has additional ideas to support small businesses and create jobs, I'm happy to consider them. My door is always open. But I urge members of both parties: do not oppose good ideas just because it's good politics to do so. The proposals I've outlined are not Democratic or Republican; liberal or conservative. They are pro-business, they are pro-growth, and they are pro-job. Leaders in both parties have supported similar ideas in the past. So let's come together and pass these measures without delay. Let's put more Americans back to work, and let's give our small business owners the support to do what they've always done: the freedom to pursue their dreams and build our country's future. Thanks for listening.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP)Reggie Larry scored a career-high 27 points, including the winning layup with 6.1 seconds left in overtime, and Boise State rallied to defeat Fresno State 90-89 on Monday night. Tyler Tiedeman added 23 points for Boise State (15-5 overall, 6-2 Western Athletic Conference), which erased a four-point deficit in the final 13.5 seconds of the extra period. Eddie Miller scored a career-high 30 points for Fresno State (10-11, 3-4), including 20 in the second half. Kevin Bell added a career-high 26 but missed a potential winning layup in the final seconds. With Boise State trailing 89-85, Matt Bauscher hit a clutch 3-pointer with 9 seconds remaining in overtime to pull the Broncos within one. After Hector Hernandez's inbounds pass glanced off Bell's fingertips near midcourt, Boise State took possession under its own basket. Despite defensive pressure, Tiedeman found Larry in the paint for an easy score. Bell drove the length of the court in the final seconds, but his layup attempt rolled off the rim just as the final buzzer sounded. Larry, the WAC's leading rebounder and third-leading scorer, also had 16 rebounds, three steals and finished 3-of-6 on 3-pointers. Matt Nelson added 15 points for Boise State. Bauscher scored all six of his points in overtime, hitting two 3-pointers in the final 1:17. Miller, who had 27 points in Fresno State's 75-68 victory over San Jose State on Saturday, finished 7-of-21 from the field and 11-of-12 from the free-throw line. Hernandez added 16 points for the Bulldogs, including two 3-pointers in the final 1:46 of regulation. Fresno State shot 43.9 percent from the floor compared to 50 percent for the Broncos, who moved into a virtual tie with Utah State atop the WAC standings. After the Bulldogs trailed by as many as nine points in the second half, Bell sent the game into overtime by hitting two free throws with 3.5 seconds left in regulation. The Bulldogs led 40-34 at halftime after closing the period on an 11-2 run. Bell scored six of his 10 points during the surge and found Hernandez for a corner 3-pointer with 35 seconds left. Miller added 10 first-half points for Fresno State despite missing his first four 3-point attempts. Larry and Tiedeman carried Boise State offensively in the first half by combining for 21 points. Both went 4-of-7 from the field, including 2-of-3 on 3s. With 6:53 left in the first half, the game was stopped when the Save Mart Center's automated fire-alarm system instructed fans to leave the arena. It took officials at courtside about 2 minutes to confirm it was a false alarm. |

Chickahominy YMCA offering meals to needy students
Citizen Staff Reports 07/10/12
To ensure that children in the Greater Richmond and Petersburg areas have access to food year-round, the Chickahominy Family YMCA in Sandston is offering free healthy meals and snacks through its summer food program, thanks to a $5,000 grant funded by the Walmart Foundation. The Y has partnered with the Walmart Foundation to address child hunger in communities, with a focus on increasing participation in the USDA's Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which provides free meals to children aged 18 and under while school is out. According to the Food Research and Action Center, only one in seven children who depend on free or reduced-cost meals during the school year received meals though the SFSP last summer. At the Chickahominy Family YMCA, children will receive two meals and a snack each day. This summer, more than 300 Ys nationwide will offer summer food programs with a collective goal to serve five million healthy meals and snacks to 100,000 children. Nationally, the Y is a partner in the Walmart Foundation's 2012 Summer Giving Campaign, which has committed more than $20 million in grants to expand nutrition, learning and employment programs for elementary, middle and high school students in more than 350 communities. The Walmart Foundation contributed a $5 million grant to YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) to address child hunger. Y-USA, in turn, passes the funding along in the form of grants to participating YMCAs. |

Mars Express mission controllers ready for NASA Phoenix landing
ESA's Mars Express mission control team are ready to monitor Phoenix's critical entry, descent and landing onto the Martian surface on 26 May 2008.
The Mars Express mission control team have completed major preparations for supporting the entry, descent and landing (EDL) phase of NASA's Phoenix mission to the Red Planet. On 25 May, Mars Express will point towards Phoenix's planned entry trajectory and record signals broadcast from the lander as it plunges through the Martian atmosphere.
The recorded data will serve as a useful and potentially crucial back-up to compare Phoenix's planned and actual descent profiles. Landing is planned for 23:38 UTC, 25 May, which is 01:38 CEST, 26 May.
"We have tested a specially designed slew for our spacecraft, and scheduled a series of data downloads immediately after Phoenix's landing; NASA will receive our recorded data about one hour later," says Michel Denis, Spacecraft Operations Manager at ESOC, ESA's Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt, Germany.
The Mars Express team will monitor the event from the Dedicated Control Room at ESOC.
Effective reuse of on-board lander communications system
Mission controllers will use the MELACOM (Mars Express Lander Communications) system to point towards Phoenix during EDL; the radio instrument was originally intended for communications with the Beagle 2 lander.
Mars Express will perform a high-speed slew as MELACOM tracks Phoenix, rotating about one axis at a speed some two to three times faster than normal; this action has already been tested and confirmed. The orbit phasing of Mars Express was already adjusted at the end of 2007 to provide visibility to Phoenix.
Data recording is scheduled to begin at 23:21 UTC, and run for 26 minutes, until 23:47 UTC.
"Our MELACOM data will enable NASA to confirm the Phoenix lander's descent characteristics, including speed and acceleration through the Mars atmosphere," says Peter Schmitz, Deputy Spacecraft Operations Manager and project lead for Mars Express Phoenix support activities.
MELACOM data will be downloaded to Earth via NASA's Deep Space terminals DSS-15 and DSS-25. After a 15-minute, 20-second light-speed travel time, ESOC will receive the data transmitted from Mars Express, i.e. at 00:40 UTC ( 02:40 CEST). Recorded data will subsequently be downloaded two more times to ensure no loss of packets.
The ESA spacecraft will also fly over Phoenix's intended landing zone, beginning at 06:12 UTC (08:12 CEST) on 26 May and will again monitor signals transmitted up from the surface.
In the following week, Mars Express will monitor Phoenix using MELACOM 14 more times; at least one of these will be used to demonstrate and confirm that the ESA spacecraft can be used as a data relay station for NASA, receiving data from the surface and transmitting test commands to the lander.
This capability has already been trialed between Mars Express and NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers (MER), now operating on the surface.
In the days leading up to the Phoenix landing, NASA and ESA ground stations also cooperated to perform highly sophisticated 'delta-DOR' (delta - Differential One-way Range) interferometry measurements. This enabled a precise determination of whether Phoenix was on track to meet the planned entry point.
This is the first time that ESA has been requested to operationally support NASA with the delta-DOR equipment installed at the Agency's two deep-space tracking stations, in Cebreros, Spain, and New Norcia, Australia.

Making History: Addie Wyatt
by Olivia Sandbothe | March 28, 2016
The late Rev. Addie Wyatt may not be well-known, but her contributions to building the labor movement were enormous, making her especially worthy of recognition during Women's History Month.
Wyatt, who died in 2012, first took a job in a meatpacking plant on the South Side of Chicago in 1941, as World War II was pushing more women into industrial and manufacturing jobs. She was only 17, but she quickly realized that something needed to be done about the racism and sexism in the industry. After she learned that men working in the plant made 14 cents more per hour than women doing the same job, she began to question the practices in her workplace and became active in her union.
"I realized it was very profitable to discriminate against women and against people of color," she said of her early days in the union. "I began to understand that change could come but you could not do it alone. You had to unite with others."
In 1953 she was elected president of Packinghouse Workers Local 56, making her the first black woman in the nation to lead a local union. She pushed for equal pay and freedom from discrimination in union contracts years before the Equal Pay Act. She would later become an international vice president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which affiliated the Packinghouse Workers — again as the first black woman in the nation to hold such a position.
In 1955 she was ordained as a minister, and became active in the civil rights movement. As a labor adviser to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), she worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King and other giants of the era. She was also tapped by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to serve on a national committee addressing the rights of working women.
Rev. Wyatt was a founding member of both the National Organization of Women and the Coalition of Labor Union Women. Her leadership didn't go unnoticed. In 1975, Time Magazine chose 12 women as their "People of the Year" in honor of the International Year of the Woman. Rev. Wyatt was among them.
As we continue to fight for racial and gender equality in the workforce, we can learn from Rev. Wyatt's example. "We had the responsibility of trying to help make the world better for [our children], and it was for them that we were involved in the struggle," she said. "If the world was going to be better, we had to make it so. "

This cheap DIY mount is slim, solid, and will fit your phone perfectly. Advertisement Lifehacker reader Robbie Khan was sick of his cheap and crappy phone mount. It was bulky, it didn't hold his phone well, and the suction cup wasn't very effective. His clever, and cost effective solution was to craft his own from cheaper and superior parts. He bought a universal Garmin GPS mount with a matching mount plate and an inexpensive hard case for his phone. If you've never owned a Garmin GPS the mounts they include with their units are rock solid and—thanks to a lever-lock design in the suction cup base—they've got great staying power. He used automotive mirror glue to affix the mount plate to the hard case of the phone and ended up with a super slim and stable case that fits like a glove.Check out the link below to see additional photos of the mount, the case, and the backplate glued on.

Unfortunately the VooDoo's manufacturer, Pyro Products, is out of stock of this model. We recommend you look at the Green Vapors (also by Pyro Products) or the Vapir ONE v5.0 if you are interested in a similar style.
The most important part of a quality vaporizer is its ability to control the temperature of the air that is passed through the biomass. Precise regulation of this heat allows users to maximize their aromatic experience while minimizing the number of harmful toxins that hop along for the ride. Many vaporizers on the market actually partially burn the material because they lack the precise digital controls of the VooDoo Vaporizer. And low-grade materials can introduce toxins into the vapor. The medical grade components used in the VooDoo allow you to extract every active part of your biomass toxin free. If your temperature isnt accurately controlled throughout the entire vaporization experience you will either create toxins and smoke (too hot), or waste biomass and fail to release much of its active elements (too cool). VooDoo gives the most precise heat-regulation for an optimal release of potent essences. Our Vapor Balloon System ensures that no mist will be wasted. The vapor stream is continual and the balloon captures and saves the mist released between inhalations.

I love garlic, onion, yellow squash, zucchini and stewed tomatoes. Too bad I didn't have any eggplant. Not that the addition of eggplant would entice my family to try this. More for me I guess.

I wasted an hour this morning learning more about this hilarious holiday tradition. Everyone is so creative in their displays. My favorites were the Inappropriate Elf antics. So I'm breaking out my scary elf and planting him in odd places.
Scary Santa might have to join in on the fun. He is an elf after all. I crack up when I see this Santa each year. I have no idea where he came from.

If Carmelo Anthony is selected as an All-Star starter today, "it could be considered somewhat of an upset," writes the Rocky Mountain News. After all, he's missed 12 games because of injuries and a suspension, provoking Amare Stoudemire, a Phoenix forward contending for the job, to launch an Internet campaign.
But Melo leads in votes, and fan balloting has ended. He is averaging 21.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, but remains on the bench with a broken hand. The All-Star game is next month.Â

When Julia Wade sent along this cozy candlelit affair, I nearly fell off my chair. Because on top of all the romance a girl could ever hope for, it's a day that balances tradition and modernity in the prettiest of ways. The Cotton Room played the perfect setting, and you can have a peek at the gallery + Heart Stone Films' lovely capture for lots, lots more.
From Julia Wade… Get ready for some serious fall/winter coziness. My sweet Susan & Justin put their entire heart and soul into this wedding and what resulted was the warmest and most welcoming wedding I think I've ever photographed. Glowing candles, the PERFECT bride & groom chairs draped in magnolia leaves, and a handmade (by Susan and her dad!) escort card display complete with tiny keys for each of their guests. All of the letterpress was hand written and designed by the groom.
These two were relaxed, knew their style through and through and executed it with lots of love. The Cotton Room was THEIR perfect backdrop.. Celebrating their love for their city and their roots. Susan's parents were married in the same church 30+ years ago.
I hope you enjoy this gorgeous downtown loft wedding in beautiful Durham, NC!

How to make someone smile
Posted: September 10, 2012 Filed under: random, whooo whoooooo Leave a commentIt's been a rough year. If you've been reading what I've written this year, you already know that, so I'm not going to rehash anything.
All I will say is that I appreciate my friends and family that have been there for me in recent weeks, and I couldn't make it through the day without you. To those of you that chose to take this opportunity to kick me while I was down – it makes me sad that you would do that. It happens, though, and life goes on. I ask that you think about what you say to a friend when they are going through some issues. What they need is for you to lift them up, not push them back down. Push them down later, when they get out of their slump!
Anyway, today at work we were joking around and my employees came up with a list of why they loved me. It made me so happy, and it all started out as a joke – but I don't think they know just how much it meant to me. It made me laugh! It's good to know what it is about me that they like.
I'm thinking of making some "reasons I love ____________" lists for others. You should too. You just never know when it might be the difference that makes or breaks someone's day.

Posted: August 9, 2012 Filed under: family, random 2 CommentsI didn't care about turning 30. I thought it would be some huge thing, but it really wasn't. It's funny how the older you get, the more your idea of "old" changes. I can remember being in high school, thinking 35 was ancient. Ha!
I work at a store with a few older women (no, I don't consider any of them "old" – they don't act it, they don't look it) and things are changing. All of my "moms" are leaving me. Abandoning me. On October 3, my beloved manager is retiring and will leave me as the oldest person in the store. I've never been the oldest person at my store. I'm "only" 35. It's been a tough year at work, and although I do not blame any of them for leaving – I feel like I'm being abandoned. It's hard not to feel that way when you've worked together as long as we have – they are my people, my chosen family, my "extra" moms and sisters.
I'm not where I thought I would be at 35. I don't know what I thought that would be, but this isn't it. I have great friends, great husband, great family, great puppies – but I'm just unsettled, I guess. I am luckier than a lot of people, and I am grateful for what I have – but something just seems off.
I've been so busy trying to grow the other blog that tonight I just had to come back to my familiar little corner of the internet and talk. While I would like for the other blog to get bigger and more popular, is it wrong that I want this one to stay the way it is and has been? Everyone needs their safe place, and up until now, oddly enough – my safe place was work.
I don't have that anymore.
I think my work life is screwing with my head. I don't know that it's necessarily the big 3-5 that is messing with me – it is just coincidental. It's a year of change. Hopefully it will end up being a change for the better, but right now it sure doesn't feel that way.
Think of me on Thursday. I have a feeling that 35 is going to hit me pretty hard.

Poor little neglected blog
Posted: August 1, 2012 Filed under: whooo whoooooo Leave a commentI haven't disappeared, I promise.
I've been busy. Starting up another blog. I might be crazy. It's been a lot of work, a lot of begging, a lot of coordination with 5 other people, and a lot of learning. It has also been fun and frustrating at the same time 🙂
After attending Haven Conference, my friends were inspired to start a new group blog. We want to do this up (semi) big. The ones who have never blogged before are learning that it's not as difficult and time-consuming as they thought it would be. The ones that have blogged before are behind the scenes, pushing for posts, tweaking the site, messing with html (yeah, that would be me), looking for sponsors, and just trying to make it work in general so the newbies don't have to do anything BUT post. It's still very new and there isn't much on there {yet}, but we're getting there.
I'm not abandoning you, Lazy Wife, just taking a little vacation. I'll still post more personal things here and more recipes here, just as I've done for the past FIVE (what?!) years.
Come see me at Real {Cheap} Housewives of Texas. It'll be fun! Come on!
My first "commissioned" jewelry order!
Posted: July 23, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 3 CommentsSince I work at a jewelry store, I am familiar with how jewelry is made/put together. As a hobby, I have made jewelry for myself – nothing crazy, just simple pieces. Obviously I don't have a solder machine or welder at my house, so I can only do so much.
Well, my husband apparently bragged about my latest jewelry-making session to the ladies he works with. A few weeks ago, he came home with a baggie of assorted brass-colored pieces, a large octopus pendant, and a chart for a three layer necklace – from his boss.
Seriously? I do this as a hobby for myself! No pressure, right? Well, the ladies he works with made my craft room blackout curtains – he works at a rug and fabric store, isn't that handy? – so I felt obligated to at least try to do what she wanted. After threatening him asking him nicely to not talk about my extracurricular activities while he is at work, I stared at the pieces for a week or so. Then I bought some "antique gold" chains and findings, and some sea glass looking beads. No, this is not real gold. I'm not made of money, and I'm not great at making jewelry – so this was all from Joann and Michaels. With coupons. Never pay full price at either one of those stores!
Today, I decided to get with it. I woke up in a bad mood and probably didn't need to be around people any more than I had to be, so I locked myself up in my craft room for the afternoon and ended up with this:
I went a little crazy. I taught myself how to do a wire wrap on a bead (holy crap! Now I want to wrap everything!) and went to town. I sent my husband out to Harbor Freight, land of cheapass tools, for a precision plier kit because my tools just weren't working out.
Once I made the necklace, I had extra chains, pendants, and beads left. I went ahead and made a matching bracelet. Then I felt like I needed to complete the set, so off I went to Joann again to buy some ear wires.
I hope she likes it – my husband says "the gaudier, the better" – since Kevin has talked me up so much, I feel like I have these really high standards to live up to! We shall see tomorrow…

Pakistan Navy Test-fires Two MissilesPakistan Navy on Saturday successfully test-fired two missiles in the North Arabian sea, some 80 nautical mile southwest of Karachi, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).Spokesman for Pakistan Navy Captain Zafar Iqbal told a press conference held in Karachi that one SM-39, which is a sub-surface to surface missile, was launched from the newly acquired Agosta 90- B submarine. Meanwhile, the other AM-39, which is the air-launched version of the same missile, was launched from the modernized Atlantic aircraft, he said. Zafar said that both the missiles were fired near the maximum range on to the target, which was completely destroyed. "In order to maintain its operational readiness, provide practical operational training to its crews and to instill confidence in them, Pakistan Navy routinely carries out these type of exercises", he added.

The Last Brownie
Have you ever been on a quest to find the perfect ______? Finding the ultimate version of a recipe is not easy.
I discovered that last year when I made an attempt to find the perfect chocolate chip cookie. I learned two things from that exercise. The first is to truly stack up one cookie against another, you really have to taste them side by side. I found each time I would bake a new version, I would like it. I made notes on what I liked about it, how the cookie held up after being stored for a day or three, the size, texture, flavors, etc. But without tasting them side by side it was hard to compare and I realized I liked them all for different reasons. The second thing I learned is the process of trying different recipes is really half the fun of the finding the best one. I have yet to get sick of trying a new chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Though I've made quite a few chocolate chip recipes, I've barely dipped my toe in the water on brownies. Luckily for this month's Secret Recipe Club assignment I was assigned Cindy's blog, Everyday Insanity. And Cindy has tested a lot of brownies. In fact the tag line on her blog header is, "Tackling Life one Brownie Recipe at a Time!"
Cindy and I have been in SRC together for quite a while now and she has become one of my blogging friends. We frequently visit each other blogs and leave comments. So I was excited when I was assigned her blog as I had already bookmarked several recipes I wanted to try. Not surprisingly, they were all sweet recipes.
In the end, I couldn't resist trying the recipe Cindy calls the "last brownie." Meaning there is no need to try other recipes because this is the one. Cindy says she's been on her journey to find the perfect brownie for about the last 35 years. Though she deems this one to be perfect, I would bet this probably will not be the last brownie recipe she'll try. ;)
The last brownie is my kind of brownie. It's rich and chewy with a deep fudgy flavor. That pretty much says it all. I already have plans to make these again.
I have to come clean though and tell you about a little tactical error that I made. I did a trick my aunt does with brownies and sprinkled chocolate chips on top of the warm brownie right out of the oven. The chips melt after a few minutes and then you spread them around to make a chocolate frosting of sorts. But I realized after tasting these brownies that they didn't need a frosting. In the photos on Cindy's blog you can see they have a bit of crackly top...which is just how I like them. So I'm not sure what prompted me to add chocolate on top. Next time, I'll leave them naked. At least long enough to try one. Then I might have to top it with some bright strawberry sauce (recipe also courtesy of Cindy) finished off with fresh whipped cream.
Check out the pretty sauce....
I decided to go big with these brownies, cutting them into 4 massive, 4 inch square, multiple fork, totally sharable, dressed up, brownies.
And check it out after a bite...
After this little taste, I put the camera down and sat down to write the rest of this post while I dutifully had many more bites of this decadent dessert. Unfortunately Hubs didn't want to help me out. Mostly because he doesn't like chocolate or strawberries. What? He totally missed out! This dessert is intense and is a bit much for one person. I ate half and put the other half in the fridge. Guess what I'm having for breakfast? Thanks for two great recipes Cindy!
Oh, and rest assured, this will not be my last brownie. It's way too soon for my brownie journey to be over.
The Last Brownie
slightly adapted from Everyday Insanity
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), cut into 1/2 inch pieces
8 ounces semi sweet chocolate, roughly chopped
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup of flour
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) - I omitted
Preheat oven to 350 and grease 9x9 square pan with butter or cooking spray. (I used an 8x8 pan and baked it for about 43 minutes)
Heat an inch of water in a small to medium sauce pan until simmering. Place a medium heat proof mixing bowl (large enough to hold all the ingredients) over the simmering water and place the butter and chopped chocolate in the bowl. Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until the butter and chocolate are melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to stir for another minute to release heat. Stir in sugar and salt. Once batter is tepid or cool, add eggs and vanilla and stir to fully combine (don't add the eggs while the batter is hot or you'll end up with scrambled eggs). Gently fold in the flour until it's just incorporated. Be sure not to over mix.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until brownie starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted has a few crumbs attached. Cool in the pan.
Strawberry Sauce
adapted from Everyday Insanity
1 cup chopped strawberries (chopped in 1/4 inch to 1/2 pieces)
1/2 cup sugar (if your strawberries are very sweet you could cut sugar in half)
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Combine all ingredients and small saucepan and heat on medium high. Bring to a rapid boil and stir for one minute at rapid boil. Remove from heat and allow sauce to cool.

Thank you, thank you for such kind words. This really is an awesome brownie recipe, I can always count on it. But yes, I must confess that I have made many brownies since this recipe (thanks to TWD) and will continue to try new recipes often!
I do love the idea of sprinkling chocolate chips on the hot brownies. More chocolate can't hurt. The strawberry sauce and cream makes this a perfect breakfast (it contains fruit and dairy). Can't wait to try it!
Thanks again! I do love your blog and always enjoy your posts--keep up the great work.I love the "quest". Looks like next time I'm looking for a brownie recipe, I need to try yours. I'm pinning for later. I think I actually found the "last" poundcake recipe I ever need this SRC go round. It's seriously that good, much like this brownie. I need to go check out your choc chip cookie recipe now.
ReplyDeleteI'm so with you on side by side comparisons - I really need to have everything to taste all at the same time to make meaningful comparisons. That brownie looks amazing, and the fact that you topped it with strawberries and whipped cream? Well, that's just about my perfect dessert - all we need is a big scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream too :)
ReplyDeleteGloria, these look truly amazing! Your photos are stunning and I can almost taste the rich, dark flavor of the brownies! We were going to make chocolate chip cookies tomorrow, but now I think we'll have to switch to these!
I still cannot believe that your husband does not like chocolate nor strawberries! That's plain crazy!

Suppliers routinely grouse about pricing from their OEM customers, but to do it in public is rare. When hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake, the dispute becomes too serious to contain. Visteon Corp. questions the "productivity price adjustments" requested for 2001, 2002 and 2003 by its largest customer and former parent Ford Motor Co. It's way too much, Visteon says, exceeding the supplier's reserves by approximately $125 million before taxes.
On a percentage basis, Visteon says its price adjustments are higher than those given to Ford by other suppliers. Auditors will check the math. Visteon also disputes a $50 million tab left from a unilateral price cut from Ford of Europe for 2001. Visteon will seek mediation and arbitration if necessary.
"We believe the clear spirit of the spin-off agreements with Ford is that Visteon will be treated in an equitable manner — and no differently than other Tier 1 suppliers," says Pete Pestillo, Visteon chairman and CEO. The episode illustrates how badly Visteon needs business with new customers: nearly 80% of its sales are to Ford.
