Any talk of a Chicago event coming up?

I know there was discussion of Kevin and BA's Jim Callis doing an event here in Chicago; Stu Shea and I pulled together a Chicago observation of SABR Day last year. As is, I'm still on the fence between going to NYC for this (Joe, you'll have an answer soon, I promise), but would strongly encourage folks to go, because of the great lineup, but also because Foley's is just a great place to hang out and talk baseball, with friends or with the folks you find there.

Limited space this time around. Given the response, we're certainly going to have more of these events over the course of the year...hopefully in different locations.
Dec 17, 2010 12:51 PM
any kind of standby list we can get on?
Dec 17, 2010 13:03 PM
I'm going to look into a few options, but can't guarantee anything at the moment. As soon as I have more information, I'll let everyone know. But for now, assume the event is closed. Thanks

Jason Parks and I considering a casual, non-official gathering that evening after dinner at a bar to be determined . . . we'll let you know.
Dec 17, 2010 13:43 PM
There is a bar called Stout on 33rd street that is big enough to accomodate a large crowd and has a great beer selection. Food isn't bad either.
Dec 17, 2010 14:45 PM
My fantasy league gets together at Stout for the All*Star game each year. Great bar, kinda loud, but that's what you'd expect, right? May not be so bad on a Sunday afternoon, unless there's a Rangers game...

text: Politics 23 April 2007 Maoists who moved on Observations on Nepal Sign up for our weekly email * The suits looked the same and the handshakes felt no different, but the two Nepalese Maoist politicians opposite me had helped mastermind a deadly insurgency. The ensuing civil conflict and civil-rights abuses by both army and insurgents claimed more than 13,000 lives. Until last year, the two were in hiding. Nepal was ruled by an autocratic king who had dissolved parliament, had arrested opposition leaders and seemed determined to keep the people tied to their feudal past. Protests and negotiations between mainstream parties and the Maoists led, earlier this month, to the formation of an interim government committed to peace, with five Maoist ministers. Elections for a new constituent assembly are planned for June. This was the first meeting between any foreign minister and the Maoists since the peace agreement was signed. But while the Maoists deserve credit and recognition for their journey from conflict to government, Nepal's veteran prime minister and the skilful home minister deserve particular recognition for their pursuit of difficult peace negotiations in the face of Nepalese and international scepticism. In meetings with the Maoists, I emphasised that they had to refrain from any intimidation during the upcoming elections and fully respect the peace agreement. An immediate task for the interim government is to give a voice to huge numbers of Nepalese under-represented in the corridors of power. Women hold only 18 per cent of seats in the parliament and two out of three Dalits (once called "untouchables") cannot read or write. But two months before the assembly elections, the electoral system has yet to be decided, key legislation is not in place and voter education has to begin. The UK is one of Nepal's biggest donors. Because of its dialogue with the Maoists during the conflict, UK aid for Nepal continued to help marginalised groups. Our ongoing support for healthcare, education and road building is now backed by support for the peace process. Long-term development in Nepal proceeds slowly: a fifth of the nation's provinces have no road connections; Aids is a growing problem and 12 women die every day from complications during pregnancy or childbirth. The Nepali government knows it must tackle these issues, but as with other countries recovering from conflict, the key to long-term development is lasting peace. It has to monitor the peace agreement and resettle some of the 40,000 people forced to flee their homes. The people and politicians of Nepal are marching into a future with many unknowns. There is optimism but also uncertainty, and Nepal's friends, particularly the UK, must continue to help.

It requires a leap of faith.
Fitting, actually, since there are 115 people on a Wednesday afternoon sitting in the annex of a Catholic church in Land O' Lakes. The gospel this day is tax reform and the preacher wears a sport coat and open-collared shirt.
The sermon comes from U.S. Rep. John Linder, R-Georgia. He pays homage to U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite in absentia. This is her 5th Congressional District and she is one of the 76 disciples in Congress, co-sponsors of Linder's legislation to abolish the Internal Revenue Service, eliminate the personal income tax and replace it with a national sales tax called FairTax. (U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis is on board as well.)
It is a tax rate of either 23 or 30 percent depending on who spins. But what it means is of every $100 you spend on new consumer goods and services, $23 will be set aside in federal sales tax. The tax cost is inclusive; that is, it is embedded in the price you pay at the register.
It is not a new idea. Dubbed a value-added tax in previous incarnations, Democrats chairing the House Ways and Means Committee advocated for it circa 1980 and again in the 1990s. A 1992 presidential candidate included it in his platform, and the Clinton administration suggested it as a way to pay for health care reform. Many of those ideas, however, also maintained some variation of the income tax.
So, what happened? The first Democrat, Al Ullman of Oregon, lost his 1980 re-election bid after 24 years in Congress; the second, former U.S. Rep. Sam Gibbons of Tampa, lost his chairmanship when Republicans gained control of the House in 1994. The presidential candidate, Democrat Jerry Brown of California, wasn't taken seriously, and the Clinton health care reform died a political death.
Let's just say the political will hasn't been particularly strong since. Linder believes that is changing and will continue to do so. He points to Mike Huckabee as proof. The little-known former governor of Arkansas came from nowhere with little money to win the Iowa Republican caucus in January. It was not the evangelical vote that propelled Huckabee, says Linder, it was the FairTax advocates.
The end result, he maintains, is inevitable.
"We're going to come to this point whether I'm here or not,'' Linder tells the (mostly) faithful.
The crowd is predominately retired and men outnumber women. Many have read Linder's two books on the subject. A few are rightfully skeptical, not because they are fans of the IRS, but because they doubt the federal government has the ability to change or to cut spending.
Gary Wilner, a Pasco Republican stalwart from Trinity, wants to believe, but not quite. Why, he asks, would home buyers purchase a new house and pay the national sales tax — $69,000 of a $300,000 price — when the same preowned house is exempt and could be had for $231,000?
The theory holds that housing prices will follow the falling labor and material costs because the built-in overhead of a payroll tax is eliminated. Wilner is not convinced. Afterward he poses the same question about boats, luxury automobiles or any high-end purchase. Why buy new and absorb the added tax costs?
It is indicative of the non-believers not being ready to leap. For the FairTax to work as envisioned, there must be no exemptions. Services must be taxed. State legislators must roll back their own sales tax rates and eliminate the exemptions. (Ostrich feed, stadium luxury boxes and lap dances, anyone?) Businesses must reduce the retail price of their products to consumers. Otherwise, all this does is add accountants, tax attorneys and lobbyists to the unemployment line in the name of corporate profits.
"You believe in the marketplace or you don't,'' says Linder. "I believe in the marketplace.''
The statistical data is too voluminous to detail here, but can be found at www.fairtax.org. Here is a sample of why this discussion is taking place: Complying with the U.S. income tax code costs up to $500-billion annually, money and productivity that could be of better use elsewhere. Data from 2001 showed Americans with more than double the amount of consumption dollars, $8.55-trillion, than taxable income, $4.22- trillion. Most of the rest of the industrialized nations charge similar national sales or value added taxes, meaning Lender's plan should level the playing field for U.S. manufacturers competing in a global economy.
In theory, it should create jobs, invite investments, increase productivity, reduce retail prices, and produce greater revenue for Social Security and Medicare.
What is needed to achieve all this? The believers ask.
"It's political will,'' answers Lender. "The biggest problem in America is inertia.''

Is your kid a reluctant learner?

West Nile virus is an illness that causes flu-like symptoms in about 20% of people who get it. You get the virus by being bitten by a mosquito that carries it. The virus originated in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, but has spread to other countries in the past decade or so. Kunjin virus , a variation of West Nile virus, has been found here in Australia. There is no vaccine against the virus, so it's important to take steps to avoid it.
West Nile virus is caused by one of the group of flaviviruses . People get it from being bitten by a mosquito. You don't catch it from other people.
For most people, West Nile virus is not serious, and they don't have any symptoms at all. Only about one in five people who get the virus will experience flu-like symptoms. But, in a very small percentage of people, West Nile virus can cause meningitis and/or encephalitis which can be life-threatening.
You can prevent West Nile virus by avoiding mosquitoes. If you will be in an area where mosquitoes are common, make sure that your kids wear long pants and sleeves. Use flyscreens and insect repellent. You can also remove the breeding grounds for mosquitoes by emptying standing water from pools, puddles, and drains. There is no vaccine against the virus.
Most people who are bitten by a mosquito will not get West Nile virus or Kunjin virus. If your child does get the virus, he will most likely experience mild, flu-like symptoms like fever, muscle aches, headache, and fatigue. Less than 1% of people who get the virus will experience more serious symptoms such as stiff neck, very high fever, convulsions, pain and coma. These symptoms indicate a condition called West Nile fever.
Since the illness is a virus, at-home treatment includes paracetamol for fever and pain, and lots of rest and fluids. Antibiotics don't work on viruses. West Nile fever needs to be treated in a hospital and includes medications to handle secondary infections, painkiller, and other treatments. Recovery from West Nile fever can take months, and some of the symptoms, like muscle weakness, can be permanent.
Always call the doctor if you believe your child has been exposed to West Nile virus or if he has symptoms of the virus or West Nile fever. Call the doctor immediately if your child has a fever, stiff neck, or other signs of encephalitis or meningitis.

Clyfford Still. For the opening of the Clyfford Still Museum, founding director Dean Sobel has installed a career survey of the great artist. Clyfford Still: Inaugural Exhibition starts with the artist's realist self-portrait and features his remarkable post-impressionist works from the 1920s. Next are Still's works from the '30s, with some odd takes on regionalism and some figurative surrealist paintings. Sobel saw a seed for Still's abstract expressionism in the line following the shoulders of the figures in these works that appears throughout the artist's career. Then there's his first great leap forward as the representational surrealist works give way to abstract ones. Still makes his big break in the early 1940s, becoming the first artist to arrive at abstract expressionism. Seeing so many classic Stills at once is an indescribable experience. Looking at the work dating from the '40s and '50s, it's easy to see why Still is regarded as one of the great masters of American art. Sobel has also done a survey of Still's career in miniature using the artist's works on paper. Through December 31 at the Clyfford Still Museum, 1250 Bannock Street, 720-354-4880, clyffordstillmuseum.org. Reviewed January 31.
Connection and Mai Wyn Schantz. For Connection, Space Gallery director Michael Burnett has put three very different artists together. First is Michael McClung, who works in the unusual medium of burned paper — a technique referred to as "pyromania." In many of these works, McClung uses a shaped, heated iron to impress all-over patterns across the composition. Opposite the McClungs are some simple circular compositions made of cut and translucent sheets of paper that are both minimalist and vaguely traditional. Accenting these wall pieces are sculptures, some of which have been suspended from the ceiling, by Marleen Seckendorf. These abstract pieces are light and lyrical and were made from twigs bound together with string. The best of them really work, with the pieces conveying both a sense of presence and one of being barely there, like three-dimensional scribbles. Finally, in the back are some strange takes on traditional Western art by Mai Wyn Schantz in which she paints classic icons — aspens, stags — on aluminum sheets, allowing the bare metal to fill the backgrounds. Through May 19 at Space Gallery, 765 Santa Fe Drive, 720-904-1088, www.spacegallery.org.
Metier, Clapper, Lobato. Gallery director Bill Havu has brought together a trio of the state's top abstract artists for this show. The marquee event is The Space in Between: Amy Metier. Though it could definitely be said that this selection of strong compositions are well within Metier's signature style, they are also more consciously representational than her work of the last few years. But these new pieces do hark back to her early work of a couple of decades ago. Essentially, she's using actual settings as a taking-off point for her expressive brushwork. Inserted throughout the Metier show are small sculptures that are both minimalist and organic in form; these make up the self-titled Michael Clapper. One of the sculptor's great strengths is the way he effectively combines different materials. Do not miss Emilio Lobato, upstairs on the mezzanine, where the notable artist is presenting a selection of his recent neo-constructivist wall-relief sculptures made of found and ready-made materials. These pieces represent a coherent extension of Lobato's abstract paintings. Through May 26 at the William Havu Gallery, 1040 Cherokee Street, 303-893-2360, www.williamhavugallery.com.

Persistent Terrain. Curators and gallery directors sometimes organize the work of different artists into thematic group efforts that function more like unrelated solos — and never jell into a coherent whole. That is the case right now at Ironton, where hyper-realist paintings by Lanny DeVuono sit uncomfortably cheek-by-jowl with neo-surrealist ones by Melissa Furness. DeVuono likes to capture aerial scenes as well as views of the sky, often putting different paintings together to form a single piece, some with picture planes at different levels. All of her work is carried out with an admirable level of technical skill, while her interesting palette tends toward moody and muted shades. Furness's pieces, on the other hand, are exuberant, colorful and expressive. One interesting feature of some of them is the elaborate patterns that serve as grounds but are so subtle that you need to look closely in order to perceive them clearly. Both artists have a lot to recommend them, but their pieces just don't interact well. Through May 19 at Ironton Studios and Gallery, 3636 Chestnut Place, 303-297-8626,www.irontonstudios.com. Reviewed April 26.
What Is Modern? Department of Architecture, Design and Graphics curator Darrin Alfred has put together this large show dedicated to furniture and decor from the early nineteenth to the early 21st century. Alfred has included groundbreaking tables, storage units, lighting and — no surprise here, considering Alfred's specialty — graphics. Laudably, Alfred takes a chronological look at how technological advancements informed the development of modernism, starting with a bentwood chair from 1808 by Samuel Gragg. Its overall form is very sleek, with a gracefully curving back, but the details are very different, being almost precious, like the little hooves that mark the termination of the legs. One of the newest pieces in the show is "Roadrunner," a chair from 2006 by Colorado's own David Larabee and Dexter Thornton working together as DoubleButter. Made of a cheap synthetic, the chair is nonetheless elegant. In between the two chairs, Alfred has installed a wide assortment of classics from the annals of modernism. Through November 30 at the Denver Art Museum, 100 West 14th Avenue Parkway, 720-865-5000, www.denverartmuseum.org. Reviewed December 23.

I have 2x2 framing in by basement. Should I remove and use 2x4 or build out from existing to get to 2x4? Gas was cheap 35 yrs ago!
Hi Michael, If you have gone as far as exposing 2X2 framing, you might as well go all the way and take it out as well. I am assuming these are the exterior walls. You should not let the new framing contact the walls anyway. You should decide on your type of insulation before new framing. If you are using batts, best practices would be to put up a breathable vapour barrier directly on the wall (reversed tyvek or equivalent) and then frame in front of that, leaving a gap to get insulation behind the studs. This will create a thermal break between the concrete and studs. If you are using spray foam, you don't need the vapour barrier but should frame with the same gap to allow the foam to expand behind the studs. Chances are you are only going to do this exercise once so you might as well do it as well as you can.
Jim Kuzma
Kettleby Handyman Services
Jim is correct. One other alternative is to apply rigid foam insulation on the foundation wall and then construct your 2x4 frame in front with batt insulation. You will not need a VB in this scenerio. Also, do not forget to place a sill gasket under the base plate and ensure you insulate the RIM joist space as well.

INFOBITS: Strategies In Setting Secure Passwords For Social Networking
Registrations with social networking sites continue to soar. Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, lists over 150 major "active" social networking websites to date. The variety of interests that the networking sites focus on is endless, everything from dating, athletics, clubbing, gaming, photo sharing, blogging, knitting and crocheting, business networking, investing, scientific research, fantasy and sci-fi, anonymous gossip, Alumni, Veterans, or motherhood. There are "invitation only" sites such as the European jet set and social elite site aSmallWorld; and even sites for those wishing to create their own social websites and social networks.
While social networking fosters the benefit of camaraderie, caution in sharing of information via these websites is warranted. Never post information online that you wouldn't mind sharing with a stranger on the street. One of the biggest areas of security concern in registering with any of these sites is a common denominator that they all require, passwords. Weak passwords are the welcome mat for strangers to hack into your profiles and collect personal information such as contact lists and phone numbers that they can use in targeting email attacks or for selling to spammers.
You should always have separate and secure passwords for log-in to each social networking site you register with and each of your email accounts with them. Repeated use of a weak password is an open door for hackers to access your multiple accounts and perhaps reset your passwords without your knowledge; you need to create STRONG secure passwords. Always avoid using passwords that are easily guessed in combination with any of your online profile information like your spouse's name, favorite sports team, favorite vacation spot, astrology sign, or a pet's name. You should also avoid real dictionary words (zigzag, aardvark), letters or numbers in sequence (abcdef, 123456, 222222), don't use any part of your birthday, or social security number. Hackers use sophisticated programs that can easily decipher weak passwords.
Information Technology Services' recommendations for creating STRONG passwords can be accessed online at Password Guidelines. One of the ITS guidelines concerns the STRENGTH of passwords; they should contain a mix of special characters, numbers, and the alphabet. This is a security item that requires some creativity on your part; you should develop a personal strategy or methodology for creation of and remembering your passwords. Here are some ideas to consider:
- Use a sentence or passphrase that is easy for you to remember, however it should be something difficult for others to guess. "My favorite toy at age five was a Slinky."
- Turn this into a password by only using the first letter of each word, MFTAAFWAS
- Add complexity in several ways:
o Mix upper and lower case letters - mfTAaFwaS
o Use numbers instead of words - mfTAa5waS
o Substitute numbers for letters or vice versa; A=1, B=2, C=3, etc. – m6TAa523aS
o Reverse the number/letter scheme – A=26, B=25, C=24 – m21TAa54aS
o Use punctuation marks – m21TAa54aS!
Other strategy options might be to:
- Use capitalization in random places – 25 Dole Street becomes 25doLestrEet
- Use the entire keyboard !@#$%^&*()_+ - @%doLestrEet
- Misspell words - @%doLestrEt
The longer your passwords are and the greater variety of their characters the STRONGER they become against being deciphered. As long as you remember the original words, letters, or numbers and the basic methodology used to create them your passwords should be easy to recall. Be cautioned not to write passwords down on paper or list them in a text document on your desktop where curious prying eyes or hackers can easily access them. One alternative method of password management is the use of a password safe. With a password safe you have control over the organization and access to multiple passwords in one encrypted online location; you need only remember one master password, however if you forget that password access is lost to all stored passwords. A free open source version of Password Safe is available online.
Creating strong passwords, having separate passwords for each website, changing passwords periodically, and using a password safe are all positive steps which can help you feel a little more secure about social networking.

I'd like to attach it directly to the shield using headers but I'm concerned it will be subject to damage if it hangs out too much.

The Pizza Press in Anaheim Shows Quick Service Custom Pizza is the New Chipotle
Blaze Pizza
Anne Marie Panoringan
When three or more concepts are too close for comfort in similarity, us Forkers deem it a trend. Last year, we found Pieology sprouting by Cal State Fullerton, paralleling Chipotle's concept across the way. The "kustom" pizza strategy took off just down the street from where Yogurtland founder Philip Chang first tested out his do-it-yourself frozen yogurt method within his Boba Loca chain. Nowadays, his corporation thrives (150+ spots strong) in their new Irvine headquarters. I loved their $7.50 price point, relaxed atmosphere and generously-sized meals. Pieology is set to open location two this winter at Irvine Spectrum, one of the busiest
"lifestyle centers" outdoor malls in the county.
A trendy interior and the promise of a meal in about two minutes (Pieology boasts under five) compels on-the-go college crowds some competition against Old Faithful z Pizza just around the corner. Plus, they served alcohol! We gave a thumbs up for scrumptious toppings like perlini mozzarella and crumbled meatballs, "fast fire'd" efficiency and user-friendly reheating instructions.
What we didn't realize was that over a month ago, The Pizza Press launched in its own prime market, across from the busiest place in Anaheim and attached to Carousel Inn. Although it might be suffering from what I call "Bruxie syndrome"-- tight parking, no attached bathrooms, et cetera, we're still left with a quality product. They also proclaim Cordon Bleu graduate Craig Orell as creator, so it better taste special. We stopped by for lunch and were greeted by Bootlegger's and Anaheim Brewery on tap, Lola's Cookie Monster ice cream sandwiches(!!) and exceptionally courteous staff behind the counter of this Newsies-themed quick-service.
And the pizza pie? I ordered the Chronicle for $10, a mass of veggie goodness, for all those who lament about me adding meat to everything . . .which I almost did. Toothsome and filling, topped with mushroom, tomato, red onion and artichoke hearts, to name a few. If we're going to ding them for anything, it's that they are the only one without a wood-burning oven. The time spent waiting was somewhere between Pieology and Blaze's. After tasting all three brands, while the absence of this attribute is apparent, we're not complaining.
We only hope that folks disperse between Pieology, Blaze, and The Pizza Press so that the lines are manageable, because we found an alternative to our deep dish. If we had to summarize, Pieology was literally the biggest bang for our buck. Blaze possessed the most quality ingredients. Pizza Press offers local brews and desserts to complete your meal. That's amore all around.

Jermaine Dupri – Rappers Who Were Born Rich
For Jermaine Durpri, the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. The So So Def founder was introduced to the music industry at a young age, thanks to his father Michael Mauldin, former president of Colombia Records. At the age of 12, Jermaine landed a gig as a dancer for the group Whodini. He eventually gave up dancing and set his sights on producing music and discovering artists. While he's known for being a producer and executive more than he is for being a rapper, Dupri had no problem launching the careers of hip-hop artists Kris Kross, which led him to write their mega-hit 'Jump.' In 1998, the dancer turned producer released an album of his own titled, 'Life in 1472′, featuring his popular hit with Jay-Z, 'Money Ain't a Thang.' Over the years, Jermaine has been responsible for producing tracks for artists like TLC, Janet Jackson, Usher, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys to name a few.

Suez Canal Toll Rise May Lead More to Cape Route
The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) notes that, for all but the smallest ships, the Suez Canal toll increases range from about 3% to 5%.
ICS secretary general, Peter Hinchliffe, remarked: "Most international ship operators are trading in the worst shipping markets in living memory due to there being too many ships chasing too few cargoes. This is not the time for the SCA to be announcing increases, which for some trades seem very dramatic indeed, and which many shipowners will find impossible to pass on to their customers."
He added: "We recognise that, with pressure on Egypt's tourism and its other economic problems, there is increased pressure on the SCA to maintain what is now the country's biggest source of foreign revenue. But the effect of these increases will be to give a spur to those owners who may already be considering the Cape route as a serious alternative."

ManiFesten at Trolley Gallery
Join the Trolley Gallery for an unforgettable dinner party where the set, food and entertainment has all derived from the minds of artists.
Dine on a sculptural construction created by set designer Robert Storey, where individual chairs move towards the ceiling and in turn, the table is lowered towards the diners. Experience bread rolls suspended in mid-air from artist Caroline Hobkinson, who concocted the feast based on the medieval, mythical land-of-plenty, Cockaigne. Curator and artist Ian Giles has organised - and will partake in - performances, featuring artists such as Eloise Fornieles, Edward Fornieles, Kate Hawkins and Tessa Lynch. Then take home one of the souvenir limited edition napkins by artists Hobkinson, Boo Saville and Henry Hudson.
The feasts take place over six evenings from Wednesday 2nd June and with only 12 spaces per night some nights are already sold out - so grab your tickets now from the Trolley Gallery. If you don't manage to get hold of a ticket, you can still enjoy the free public performance before dinner is served.
Read the press release below, or for more information contact the Trolley Gallery.
Boo Saville ManiFesten napkin
Ian Giles ManiFesten performance
Robert Storey ManiFesten chair
Trolley Gallery is pleased to announce its forthcoming summer group show. Entitled 'ManiFesten', over a six day period, the artists selected will respond to the theme of food and eating in the gallery, with a program of performance on the bandstand atop neighbouring Arnold Circus, traditionally a place of music and public interaction. The theme of food, eating and public performance responds to the desire for an unusual approach to the group and summer show format. ManiFesten explores the roles that artists have played both artistically and socially in food and dining, from Rothko's commission for the Seagram Restaurant, New York to the Futurist Cookbook by Marinetti and the YBAs patronage of St John's restaurant in London. In this respect the artists selected incorporate these ideas into their own practice, and here work together to create the show's format.
Trolley Gallery will be transformed into an interactive installation by artist and set designer Robert Storey. Each night 12 members of the public will dine in a site-specific sculptural construction, incorporating the traditional role of chairs around a central dining table, but playing with ideas of scale and the role of encounter and the unexpected. Storey's work utilizes found materials such as reclaimed wood and household objects such as ladders, to create surreal constructions that can subvert the original, intended or expected use. His work is inspired by artists such as Christoph Büchel, who engages with the viewer by inviting them to partake in an unexpected encounter with the work. Storey creates sets and elaborate and imaginative costumes; for ManiFesten he will create 12 individual chairs that will lift the sitter towards the roof of the gallery, before lowering the ceiling to reveal the table around them as they sit.
Each evening will commence at 7pm with a unique performance outside and near to the gallery, which will be open to the public. The programme has been curated by artist Ian Giles, and will include performances by an exciting selection of up and coming artists in this field: Awst and Walther, littlewhitehead, Tessa Lynch, Edward Fornieles, Eloise Fornieles and Kate Hawkins, as well as Giles himself. The artists will respond to the historical use of the local area for public performance, and will be open to everyone.
The concept of the menu has been created by artist Caroline Hobkinson, who runs gastronomic art tours of the area surrounding the gallery's location in Shoreditch. Hobkinson has recently created art food concepts for, among others, the Barbican. For ManiFesten she has explored the idea of the Land of Cockaigne, the legendary country of bountiful food and drink described in medieval tales and depicted in the work of Flemish artist Peter Breugel. With the focus on a feast, both visually and gastronomically, the artist has created a three course menu, that will be presented in relation to the theme of unexpected fantasy and inverted proportion of Storey's sculpture. It will be formulated from the best and most delicious ingredients for, as it is in Cockaigne, the food is plentiful, the 'skies rain with cheeses' and 'cooked fish jump out of the water and land at one's feet'. As the ceiling is revealed, 12 freshly baked bread rolls will be suspended in mid air in front of the diners mouths, interspersed with cured sausages, followed by a whole oven-baked halibut stuffed with little tiny fish and vegetables, followed by a giant magic porridge pot, in the form of creme brulee.
Guests will take home a limited edition napkin by Hobkinson, as well editions by artists represented by Trolley, Boo Saville and Henry Hudson.
The intention of ManiFesten is to engage guests with an original experience involving artists and food re-located to the gallery environment, and public performance in a readymade location. ManiFesten is itself an edition of 6 nights, with tickets only available in advance direct from the gallery. The total for each ticket is £69 and includes all food, wine and a limited edition artist napkin.

The Liberator of Santa Ana Unified
Photo by Jack GouldA specter is haunting Santa Ana—the specter of Nativo Lopez. All the powers of old Santa Ana have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this apparition: mayor and superintendent, Unz and Tuchman, Latina mothers and Republican mercenaries. Feb. 4 was supposed to be the end, the day when the oppressed peoples of Orange County's largest city threw off the shackles imposed by the Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) trustee and recalled the tyrant. But the specter of Nativo Lopez continues.
This was the cautious update recall leader Tim Whitacre delivered to the Santa Ana Women's Republican Club on March 27. The GOP ladies attending—all 12—invited Whitacre to regale them with tales from the end of Lopez's corrupt regime. But instead of reassuring his compatriots that their city was now safe from the bilingual bogeyman, Whitacre did what all national security apparatchiks do: he kept the threat alive.
Balding and goateed, Whitacre, who is also a Republican Central Committee member, wasted no time in attacking Nativo, referring to Lopez by his pocho name, Larry.
"Larry has a narrow Marxist view of America," Whitacre boomed, jabbing at the podium.

Then he backtracked. "I respect the man for having his views," he said. "I'd put him in a foxhole with me."
Then he backtracked again and accused Lopez of harboring secret plans to turn the Southwest brown.
"He's a reconquista!" Whitacre asserted.
"My main role in the recall was to show people this man was just a man," Whitacre continued. "The aura that was put in front of him was that he could invade your house and kill your pets. The city was paralyzed by all of this bigger-than-life stuff that was accredited to this man."
Lopez has indeed haunted Orange County for years, withstanding vicious assaults by Bob Dornan, the Los Angeles Times, even his own school board yet never suffering defeat. So only direct engagement could topple Nativo, assured Whitacre. "So I went up to him once and said, 'As far as you're concerned, I'm invading your country. As far as I'm concerned, you're invading the Constitution. I swore to defend it. We can agree to disagree. But you need to know something, right here and now. If you want to go head to head, bayonets with bayonets, we'll go toe to toe, every time, everywhere, every store. And that's what you want to do.'
"When I stepped onboard [for the recall campaign], I saw where we had to be, and I realized we had to pick up the steam," he continued. "So I ran it like a military campaign."
More like guerrilla warfare.
"We couldn't go head to head with Lopez," Whitacre recalled, "so we would do things to give the impression that we could match him." This included, he said, protesting on a street corner for 30 minutes, then packing up and going to another location to delude Lopez into thinking the opposition was mightier than it actually was.
Whitacre's battlefield strategy was successful—more than 70 percent of Santa Ana voters chose to recall Lopez.
Earlier in the evening, SAUSD board president Rosemarie Avila raved about Whitacre's store-to-store fight. The 12-year board member spoke of the atrocities she and her supporters supposedly suffered under Lopez's rule: sabotage, favoritism, a lack of self-discipline. "We felt like we didn't have leadership, real choice or options," she mournfully confessed.
And life after the Whitacre-led liberation? "There's a sense of relief," she gushed. "I see joy! People can relax and not watch their backs too much."
But Whitacre wrapped up his briefing by urging eternal vigilance in the face of the mustachioed menace. "We must remain diligent," Whitacre concluded. "Because if we don't . . . He's not gone! Just like Saddam, he's not just going to go away. I've told folks he's not done; he's going to try to rear his ugly head. And until we can really, really render him totally irrelevant, he's going to continue to knock on our doors and try to harass us folks."

Prescription Pressures: 'It did help with the grades, quite a bit'
EUGENE, Ore. - As many as 1 in 3 college students admit to using pharmaceuticals to give them the competitive edge in academics.
Yet medical professionals are finding that some students are becoming addicted when using those pharmaceutical shortcuts.
Addiction specialist Dr. Ron Schwerzler said some students looking to boost their study habits use prescription drugs containing methylphenidate, which is found in brands like Adderall, Ritalin or Provigil.
"It made school easier. It made work easier, and then it made life easier," one University of Oregon student told our KVAL News team on condition of anonymity.
Schwerzler helped put KVAL News in contact with students willing to talk about their use of the drugs.
They are stimulants initially prescribed in the 1990s to help boost focus in children with Attention Deficit Disorder.
"I think the past five years particularly, not a rise so much in methamphetamine illegally, but we've seen a lot of the legal amphetamines being misused by adolescents and young adults," Schwerzler said.
Abuse of methylphenidate is growing on college campuses. One UO student told KVAL News he used to make quite a lot of money selling his Adderall prescription.
"A good 80 bucks a week, towards the end," the student said.
Why are so many young adults abusing these medications?
"It did help with the grades, quite a bit. It's almost like an unfair advantage," another student said. "Feeling pressure to get it all done at once, so I'd take Adderall or other substances."
Schwerzler said drugs like Adderall and Ritalin are considered Schedule II controlled substances, regulated the same as other addictive narcotics like oxycodone, methadone, and even forms of cocaine.
"I think the main thing about them is that they are addicting," he said.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hello Mello
Who is he to you?
What are your ages?
Hello Mello,
Thank you for that additional info. The best thing is that he's already calling you, so that indicates that there is some interest there. Being that he felt a little slighted in the past, be careful how you approach things, because he may still feel defensive. Now that you feel like you want to get closer to him, he may feel like he has the upper hand, so you want to sit back a little, allow him to contact you, don't always answer his calls, sometimes let it go to the machine and call him back later. If you're on the phone with him, make a point of being the first to get off the phone first. These will keep him on his toes and not let him feel like he's controlling the situation.
Once you do start hanging out, just be yourself. It's obvious he likes you for who you are, so don't try to impress him or do anything you wouldn't normally do. Ask him about himself, show interest in him as a person and the things he likes. It's as important to listen as much as you talk. When he talks, ask questions about what he's talking about.
I'm not sure if you've been intimate with him, but holding off on that as long as you can is important. At least until you have an idea of where he wants it to go. Unless you're not interested in a relationship, then by all means, do what you feel. I welcome your thoughts, let me know if you want to talk more.
Yes, of course. You can tell me as much or as little as you like. Of course the more info I have the better I can help.

text: For some time I've thought I was giving Emaks FB Glossy plenty of time to fully develop. I've lately experimented with contrast control through shorter exposures and longer development. Now I've found with normal exposures increased density is quite evident up to at least 100% more development. Short or long exposures, short or longer development, blacks have been very good. What's the answer? Dan

Fergie gives back with make-up line
Fergie plans to donate funds from the sale of her cosmetics line to benefit "really important" charities.
The Black Eyed Peas star will launch the new Perfect Pout V.I. Pink lip colour she developed with Wet n Wild today.
The shimmery pink shade will benefit the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) with 50 cents from each $3.49 product sold going to the cause.
"For me, it was really important to have a charitable component to my cosmetics line," Fergie told WWD. "I did the MAC Viva Glam campaign [in 2008], and I was very inspired by the cause and motivated to do something myself. Wet n Wild has been amazing, and we've really pushed this forward and embraced it with open arms."
To coincide with the product launch, Fergie has invited her Twitter followers to Times Square in New York City this morning.
During the event the singer will help make over three Good Morning America viewers. The beauty will use the cosmetics from her CenterStage colour collection to transform the selected members of the public.
"We really wanted to include social media with this," Fergie said. "We'll select three winners and feature the makeovers on live television and on social media. [This cause is] very close to my heart."
The pregnant pop star was named beauty ambassador for the American cosmetics company last year. As well as her make-up line, Fergie has been keeping busy working on her fragrances with Avon. Her latest scent for the brand is Viva, which she described as "very fresh, clean and crisp".
She plans to branch into more product categories in the future, but says her immediate priority is her new arrival.
"I have my hands and plate full now," Fergie laughed. "Being pregnant, it's great to do a lot of work from home. I do it being comfortable and not worrying about hair and make-up. As far as what I'm going to do when the child comes? I have no idea what I'm going to tell you."

Whatever the conclusion, at least the NIF is a controversial issue now, and they and their friends are not helping with the tactics they've used in their counterattack: Australian groups cancel Chazan appearances
Former Israeli lawmaker Naomi Chazan's visit to Australia was canceled following allegations that the organization she heads helped provide information for the Goldstone report.
Chazan, president of the New Israel Fund, was invited by the Union for Progressive Judaism -- the Australian equivalent of the Reform movement -- to address fund-raisers next week for the United Israel Appeal in Melbourne and Sydney .

Week 3 of the 2011 NFL season is almost ready to kickoff, which means it is time to start getting your fantasy football lineups in order. Athlon Sports will try to help you do that each week with its Start or Sit suggestions. Keep in mind that these are suggestions and you are the owner of your fantasy team, and setting your lineup comes down to what you think is right.
This is how I work out fantasy football scoring in my mind: I want to average 16 points from my QBs, RBs, WRs and Flex and average 10 points from my TEs, Ks and DSTs. It rarely works that way, but if you could get the skill spots to average 16 and the other three to average 10, that's 132 points in a 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 FLX, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DST setup; it's a score that should win you most weeks.
Check back each week for Start or Sit and see who we are giving our thumbs up or thumbs down to and whether we had success or failure the week prior.

John Kasay (NO) vs. Houston — Who's the No. 1 fantasy kicker? The soon-to-be 42-year old that was signed by the Saints at the end of August. He has three field goals and seven PATs and should have opportunities for both against the Texans.
Jason Hanson (DET) at Minnesota — Trailing Kasay by just one point is the 41-year-old Lions kicker. If the Lions keep putting up numbers like they have, might as well use the kicker that already has four field goals, including one of 50-plus, and nine PATs.
Nick Novak (SD) vs. Kansas City — The Chiefs have already given up 89 points and are allowing 11.5 per game to fantasy kickers. The Chargers should be able to pile up points, and if the injuries they are currently battling slow them down, let Novak pick up a few FGs and PATs to help you and them out.
David Akers (SF) at Cincinnati — He could get the field goals and make me look like a fool here as he did in Week 1 with 15 fantasy points, but then he follows ut up with 8 against Dallas. I see a number more like 8 happening again. No Braylon Edwards, an oft-injured Michael Crabtree and a relatively quiet-so-far Frank Gore means the 49ers should have trouble moving anywhere, particularly on the road,
Shaun Suisham (PIT) at Indianapolis — A few PATs is all you should get from Suisham, the 27th-ranked kicker in Athlon scoring. Pittsburgh should move the ball at ease and have no need for a Suisham 3-pointer.
Mike Nugent (CIN) vs. San Francisco — Nugent has five field goals so far, but I don't see the need for 3-pointers against San Francisco. The Bengals perhaps try and pour it on as a Swan Song as this could be the last we see of RB Cedric Benson (pending suspension) and WR Jerome Simpson (the marijuana story) with the team for a while.

Want to make a simple, ten-second check on the state of your health? Sneak a peek at your feet.
"You can detect everything from diabetes to nutritional deficiencies just by examining the feet," says Jane Andersen, DPM, president of the American Association of Women Podiatrists and a spokeswoman for the American Podiatric Medical Association.
The lowly left and right provide plenty of insightful data: Together they contain a quarter of the body's bones, and each foot also has 33 joints; 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments; and countless nerves and blood vessels that link all the way to the heart, spine, and brain.
Unresolved foot problems can have unexpected consequences. Untreated pain often leads a person to move less and gain weight, for example, or to shift balance in unnatural ways, increasing the chance of falling and breaking a bone.
So when the feet send one of these 18 warning messages, they mean business.
1. Red flag: Toenails with slightly sunken, spoon-shaped indentations
What it means: Anemia (iron deficiency) often shows up as an unnatural, concave or spoonlike shape to the toes' nail beds, especially in moderate-to-severe cases. It's caused by not having enough hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein in the blood cells that transports oxygen. Internal bleeding (such as an ulcer) or heavy menstrual periods can trigger anemia.
More clues: On fingers as well as toes, the skin and nail beds both appear pale. The nails may also be brittle, and feet may feel cold. Fatigue is the number-one sign of anemia, as are shortness of breath, dizziness when standing, and headache.
What to do: A complete blood count is usually used to diagnose anemia. A physical exam may pinpoint a cause. First-step treatments include iron supplements and dietary changes to add iron and vitamin C (which speeds iron absorption).
2. Red flag: Hairless feet or toes
What it means: Poor circulation, usually caused by vascular disease, can make hair disappear from the feet. When the heart loses the ability to pump enough blood to the extremities because of arteriosclerosis (commonly known as hardening of the arteries), the body has to prioritize its use. Hairy toes are, well, low on the totem pole.
More clues: The reduced blood supply also makes it hard to feel a pulse in the feet. (Check the top of the foot or the inside of the ankle.) When you stand, your feet may be bright red or dusky; when elevated, they immediately pale. The skin is shiny. People with poor circulation tend to already know they have a cardiovascular condition (such as heart disease or a carotid artery) yet may not realize they have circulation trouble.
What to do: Treating the underlying vascular issues can improve circulation. Toe hair seldom returns, but nobody complains much.
Clues your feet give about your health, 3-4
3. Red flag: Frequent foot cramping (charley horses)
What it means: The sudden stab of a foot cramp -- basically, the hard contraction of a muscle -- can be triggered by fleeting circumstances such as exercise or dehydration. But if it happens often, your diet may lack sufficient calcium, potassium, or magnesium. Pregnant women in the third trimester are especially vulnerable thanks to increased blood volume and reduced circulation to the feet.
More clues: Charley horses tend to rear up out of nowhere, often while you're just lying there. They can be a single sharp muscle spasm or come in waves. Either way, soreness can linger long afterward.
What to do: Try to flex the foot and massage the painful area. You may also be able to relax the muscle by applying a cold pack or rubbing alcohol. To prevent cramps, stretch your feet before you go to bed. Then drink a glass of warm milk (for the calcium).
4. Red flag: A sore that won't heal on the bottom of the foot
What it means: This is a major clue to diabetes. Elevated blood glucose levels lead to nerve damage in the feet -- which means that minor scrapes, cuts, or irritations caused by pressure or friction often go unnoticed, especially by someone who's unaware he has the disease. Untreated, these ulcers can lead to infection, even amputation.
More clues: Oozing, foul-smelling cuts are especially suspect because they've probably been there awhile. Other symptoms of diabetes include persistent thirst, frequent urination, increased fatigue, blurry vision, extreme hunger, and weight loss.
What to do: Get the ulcer treated immediately and see a doctor for a diabetes evaluation. Diabetics need to inspect their feet daily (older people or the obese should have someone do this for them) and see a healthcare professional every three months.

Last week's defeat of ISIS (al-Qaida 2.0) at Mosul, Iraq, and the expectation that the insurgent group will soon lose its "capital" of Raqqa, Syria, has led many to wonder what will follow the fall of ISIS.
I was in Iraq in 2008-09 after the defeat of al-Qaida 1.0, and it looked like peace. Killings were down substantially, Sunni and Shi'a were working together in the Council of Representatives to pass legislation, and — boosted by the oil price rise beginning in 2009 — the economy was in a construction-led boom.
But the peace was short-lived.
There were political, diplomatic and military obstacles that led to the collapse of Iraqi optimism and the...

This is my reward for getting excited about things. While it is due out in Japan on December 26th, Square-Enix announced on Monday that Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster will be delayed until March 2014 for us folks in the West. Not only that, but the PS Vita version of the game seems to have been delayed indefinitely for anyone outside of Japan. Those in North America will get their hands on the PS3 version come March 18th, with Europe able to play Blitzball a few days later on the 21st. While this may seem like unfortunate news (and it is), I choose to see it in another light.
It's my belief that the delay is intentional and not due to localisation issues or other, unavoidable setbacks. I have a sneaking suspicion that we may have a pleasant surprise on our hands.
Back on the 10th of October, Japan was given the brand new PS Vita Slim. As well as being available in a plethora of different pastel colours, it was also thinner, lighter and had a longer battery life than its predecessor. It skimped a little on the display technology, opting for LCD as opposed to OLED, with most people agreeing that the Slim has a slightly inferior picture quality as a result. However, most also agree that the difference is only noticeable if you've either got the two models side-by-side or are a display aficionado, neither of which will apply to me.
I've been increasingly interested in the Vita, ever since its close ties with the PS4 were further expanded upon (among other reasons). It was a little disappointing to hear that only Japan were getting the Vita Slim to begin with, but now I have cause to believe that the rest of the world might get the new model.
If you've not guessed by now, it's my belief that Square-Enix are postponing the release of FFX/X-2 HD because Sony intend to release the Vita Slim in March 2014 (or shortly thereafter).
I dislike rumour based on incomplete information, but this is nothing so concrete. I am basing this theory on pure speculation and observation. That bundle may be slim (aha) evidence, but the more I think about it in conjunction with other, known facts, the more plausible it seems.
Consider first that Japan will not see the PS4 until the 22nd of February 2014. This delay isn't mirrored exactly when you consider the Vita Slim; a March release would put the disparity at 5 months. However, it is almost exactly 3 months after FFX/X-2 HD is due out in Japan (December 26th). Alone, this means almost nothing: certainly not enough to base a console refresh on. But there's more.
Remember that there was no mention of a delay prior to now with regards to the Western Vita version of FFX/X-2 HD. Certainly the Japanese version for both the PS3 and Vita is complete. If there were any localisation issues, surely this would affect both versions for us here in the West? In other words, why are we only getting the PS3 version in March? Is the Vita version still coming, albeit with a shiny Slim bundle to tempt us into purchasing?
Then there's the recent price drops of the original Vita model. It's been happening all over the place, with most retailers offering just about any combination of Wifi, 3G and bundled-games models for £169 here in the UK. If Sony intended to keep making a sensible profit on the different packages, they would price them differently, in my mind. This seems more like them trying to get rid of stock of the old model before introducing the Vita Slim.
It's all conjecture at this point, but it's something I came up with on my own. I'm not basing it on any whispered rumours or confidential contacts; just hope and reasoning. There's every chance that this announced delay means absolutely nothing and that we're never going to see the Vita Slim come to our shores… but I choose to believe otherwise. I believe that all signs point towards Sony giving me exactly what I want come March this year; May at the very latest. If I'm wrong, then I'll be briefly disappointed. Luckily, I'll have an excellent PS3 game to cheer me up.

Michigan Bride Arrested Goes to Jail in Wedding Dress after Wedding
Police say a Michigan bride -- still in her wedding dress -- was arrested on a felony warrant and briefly jailed after exchanging vows!
Ooops. Looks like this happened in the lovely city of Jackson, MI.
She was 53 and had a warrant out for her arrest for Identity theft... oops. I wonder if her name was published in the paper?

Please understand that I am not a purist. I don't have a lot of experience with a wide range of equipment and so my sentiments have limited value.
I like their products.
The multistage press is a good option. I converted mine to four positions (cost was about 17.00 and I did not use the progressive rod) but I would not have needed to do so. I don't typically use a factory crimp die so three positions is really all I need.
I have a turret set up for each of my calibers (.357, .44 Mgnm, .45LC, .45-70 govt and .45 ACP). This reduces the time required to set up the press. I just run a coulpa rounds through to make sure the set up is still good.
I have Lee molds which I like much more than the Lyman/Ideal molds I have for round balls. For bullets I use only Lee molds but that is because I just never tried higher price molds. They work fine.
I have a Pacific single stage press and also used an old single stage press from another manufacturer (can't remember whose) and those presses are extremely high quality, but a single stage press just doesn't work for me.
I have the Lee hardness tester which I like because it does the job for a low price.
Also have the Lee ten pound production pot. This is my second one. The first Production Pot was still working fine but I figure after 35 years I deserved to spend the 57.00 on a new one. I gave the old one to a friend and he is still using it.
The dies from Lee are easy to set up and give good consistent rounds.
