Kate Moss plans new career as a farmer

Published Monday, October 25, 2010 10:06AM EDT
Kate Moss is planning a new career as a farmer.
The supermodel is hoping to run her own farm from her country estate in the Cotswolds, in West-Central England, and has applied to her local council for permission to transform the surrounding land into a farmyard.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Kate has already converted part of her garden into a vegetable patch and she has submitted plans to convert three outbuildings.
"She loves the idea of keeping animals and wants an end to her partying lifestyle.
"It's the perfect location as there's plenty of space and when she's not there, she'll employ people to look after the animals."
However, not all of Kate's friends are enthusiastic about the move and many think the party-loving model won't be happy with life in the country.
The source said: "Some of her friends have been making fun of her, nicknaming her Margot. They reckon someone who's used to catwalks won't want to be mucking out pig pens in the winter.
"But Kate's stubborn and is determined to prove them wrong."
This is not Kate's first foray into country life.
The 36-year-old catwalk beauty who bought the Cotswolds estate five years ago recently attempted to set up a business selling homemade preserves after perfecting her own recipes.
Kate – whose eight-year-old daughter Lila Grace helps her make the jam - got hooked on making sweet preserves after finding hoards of damsons in her garden.
A friend said: "Kate bought a load of expensive equipment because she's always been keen on the idea of making jam.
"She has so much fruit on her land she wanted to put it to good use."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Shares of Twitter Inc. TWTR, -0.23% tumbled at the opening bell on Wednesday a day after the microblogging site reported weaker-than-anticipated growth in users, even as it posted a surge in revenue. Twitter was down more than 12% to $37.27, hitting a new low. Twitter reported average monthly active users of 255 million, slightly below analysts' consensus estimates. "User growth serves as canary once more," Evercore analyst Ken Sena told clients in a note. "This quarter represents at least Twitter's 4th in a row of stepped user growth deceleration, suggesting to us that some users are beginning to find alternative elsewhere."

From training the Biebs to The Biggest Loser!
Justin Bieber's personal trainer, Dolvett Quince, will join the NBC series as a trainer on its twelfth season, set to begin production this week.
"I couldn't be more excited about joining The Biggest Loser as their newest trainer," the Atlanta-based trainer tells Us Weekly in a statement. "This amazing opportunity allows me to use my expertise to change lives one rep at a time, and encourage contestants -- and viewers -- to find strength beyond muscle."
Quince (seen at left working out with Bieber during a Dec. 16 tour stop in Greenville, S.C.) also designed a fitness and diet plan for the 17-year-old singer for his "My World" concert tour.
The Biggest Loser's new season, set to air in September, will also feature newbie trainer Anna Kournikova and veteran Bob Harper.

ASP.NET (originally called ASP+) is the next generation of Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP), a feature of their Internet Information Server (IIS). Both ASP and ASP.NET allow a Web site builder to dynamically build Web pages on the fly by inserting queries to a relational database in the Web page. ASP.NET is different than its predecessor in two major ways: it supports code written in compiled languages such as Visual Basic, C++, C#, and Perl, and it features server controls that can separate the code from the content, allowing WYSIWYG editing of pages. Although ASP.NET is not backwards compatible with ASP, it is able to run side by side with ASP applications. ASP.NET files can be recognized by their .aspx extension.

Gov. Jerry Brown's administration on Friday announced that $119 million more in untapped money was found in a sweeping audit of state accounts, bringing to more than $286.5 million the sum lawmakers were unaware of as they repeatedly cut government services. The new discovery includes about $30 million for healthcare programs, almost $29 million for reimbursing crime victims and $12.5 million for cleaning up underground petroleum tanks. It follows revelations that nearly $113 million was languishing in a recycling program funded with consumers' bottle deposits and $54 million had gone unreported by state parks officials.

Since lift springs are proving hard to locate, I am looking into the alternatives to lifting my Baja. The spring perch mod. seems to be a good one, but not easily undoable if need be. But, it got me thinking about the possibility of using Daystar or similar spacers under or over the springs to lift them. This would be the same solution as Mudrats, but less permanent.
Has anyone ever tried this on a Subaru, or on another vehicle?

Are you refering to the coil spring spacers that they sell on ebay? If so you won't have a problem if the springs are the same size as the spacers and you don't go to tall as to throw off things like brake lines..etc. I used some on my 88 XJ and they worked great. I put those thru hell and never failed me.
Posted 19 December 2004 - 08:26 PM
I have never looked for them on Ebay, but i guess they are same thing. I saw them on a 4x4 suspension site. These are made by Daystar and are polyurethane. They mount either under or on top of the spring, depending on the vehicle. (I am NOT referring to those little rubber coil spreaders. I have tried those on another car and they lasted to the end of the drive way!) The had sizes for everything but Subaru.
I wonder how I could tell if they will fit and 03 Baja suspension?
I like that idea of being able to remove them.

Fantastic Usher,
|reviewer: Jack from Dayton Ohio
|We saw Mamma Mia on July 26 at 8. Our seats were on the right aisle near the back of the theatre The show was awesome. Equally awesome was an usher on duty in our aisle. As the last grand finale took place, this usher performed all the moves and sang all the words right in the aisle adjacent to us. (Could he be an understudy?) Everyone should see this show!

If you know ABBA you will come out singing...,
|reviewer: Rose G from New Jersey USA
|As an avid ABBA music fan, the idea of combining the music with the story was definitely creative and simply a wonderful theater experience. The play made you laugh out loud, made you want to sing along, dance in the aisles and maybe cry just a little. It was funny, fun and a play I would definitely go see over and over.

Reviewed Apr. 1, 2011
"Quite tasty, but I did make a few changes. Made the lime gelatin w/ 2-1/2 c boiling water the day before eating so well set. Poured mixture into 4 margarita glasses. Just before serving I rubbed the rims w/ a lime twist, flipped them upside down to coat w/ sugar in a bowl, then stirred w/ a fork. Also added a large dollop of whipped cream on top of each dessert (it needs something!). Would make again and the presentation is terrific! A nice light finish to a Mexican dinner."

One tool I use a lot for language learning and teaching is Google. It is a quick way of checking many things and is one of the most useful tools available, although it is not designed as a language tool, so its results should be treated with care. You could use any search engine, but Google is the one I use.
Why is language learning still one of the areas that lags behind in terms of the application of IT?
Most coursebooks teach mixed conditionals, but few look at just how mixed the conditionals can be.

Hello, I am one week postop for breast implant removal. I forgot to ask my surgeon if I should massage the scars and also how long I should wait before wearing an underwire bra? He said I could wear a normal bra instead of my sports bra but I forgot to ask about underwire bras.
How Long After Breast Implant Removal can I Wear Underwire Bras?
Doctor Answers 7
Bra choices after surgery
How Long After Breast Implant Removal can I Wear Underwire Bras?
For more information, please go to my website at:
Regular VS Underwire Bra after Breat Implant Removal
There is nothing nefarious or magical about underwire bras. They appear to place higher pressure along the bottom rim (inframamary fold) of the breat giving a visual greater definition to the breast. The question for the surgeon would be: is there a reason why he would prefer to postpone the application of such forces along the bottom of the operated breasts?
Your surgeon needs to answer the question since he knows what could be done. In the ordinary breast implant removal case there is no reason why a bra choice should be restricted.
Peter A Aldea, MD

Every surgeon is different about allowing udnerwire bras. you should ask your surgeon what his preference is.
Bra after Breast Surgery?
I suggest that you call your plastic surgeons' office; every surgeon has a different "protocol". it's best to follow his, since he is ultimately responsible for your care.
Best wishes.

Type of bra for recovery
I personally have patients wear a soft bra for 6 weeks before wearing a push-up or underwire type of bra. However, that also depends on how well the patient has healed. I also let people start scar massage as soon as the skin is healed and no long raw. Your surgeon may have different ideas about the proper postop regime.

Old guys do you buy guns based on what you had in the past?
At 67 I find my self wanting to replace guns tat I had as a Kid. My first handgun was a S&W k 22. Later at 17 I got a Ruger 357 Blackhawk. A Colt Python was always a desire but when I got one it was soon traded. In the last 30 years there has been a lot of handguns go through my hands.
Presently am happy with Glock 21, Sig 2022 40S&W Walther P99 9m QA for autos and S&W 66, Charter 44 SP and Ruger Single Six. There has been about 200 handguns pas through my hands in the last 30 years.
Have enjoyed having 1911s of all different calibers. The only handgun that I have wanted but never had is a Luger, maybe some day.
A lot of the magnum and heavy recoiling handguns that I had, now hurt my hand to shoot. 22 and 32 are now more attractive than they used to be.

Yes, getting old does suck. There are a couple of rifles from long ago that I would like to replace, but the only handguns I had were either old and beat up or very cheap.

I pretty much still like the same ones as before.
Unless one comes along that does something outstandingly better, there's not much reason to replace anything.

I'm not too nastalgic about guns. I've pretty much modernized my whole collection except for a few. More sentimental value than anything.
Now, if you want to talk cars.........I'd love to have my old 69 Roadrunner or my 67 Chevelle SS back.

I do a lot of research before I buy any gun. I have kept the overwhelming majority of everything I have ever bought. I guess I don't fall prey to the "gee-whiz" factor too much, and stick with my acquisition plan.

Although not old, I did have to buy a Python because of the one I shot as a youth. I've not had the urge to replace anything I've bought and sold as an adult.

Not really in that I still have everything I've ever had . However, I find that as I grow older my interest in historical firearms (most recently, for example, the Colt Walker 1847) does likewise.

Not so much on guns I've already owned, more like guns I wanted for a very long time but never bought. For instance my two most recent purchases were an early .44spl Bulldog 3" and a Colt police positive special .32-20.

Yep, this is a common theme (read discussion point) in our family. At 67, I don't need another gun (hell, I probably shouldn't be buying ripe bananas!), but that said, I have a fondness for those guns that I couldn't afford when I was young. Winchesters of the Model 61 or 62 type, Marlins of most any caliber or action type, Colt 1911's, Diamondbacks, National Match '03 Springfields...you get the idea, and I predict that you'll do the same when your in your autumn years.
I find now, that I just don't have the time left to thoroughly explore those interesting calibers and action types that eluded me in my youth. .218 Bee's, .32-20's, 25-20's, .44-40's in rifle and revolver combinations. Just not enough time left to check 'em out. You younger guys will have to do the exploring.
Now, I'm interested in tramping the long meadows, reliving my youth hunting woodchucks in the hills south of Buffalo, NY. Farmers then (the early 60's) paid a $.50 premium on each chuck tail I'd bring in...saved their dairy cows some broken legs I figured.
But more now, it's the time in the fields that remind me of my boyhood...the sights and smells of autumn, golden rod in bloom, and the apple trees heavy with ripe fruit...ah to do it all again....
Savor your time on this most wonderful planet my friends...for Heaven is really our time on earth....and bring along a young'en to help you find the way home.
Best Regards and keep your powder dry....Rod

I like the ones that worked well, shot well, were easy to maintain, and, now that ammo is getting outrageous, I like the ones that are economical to shoot as far as plinking goes.

Good title. My first handun at 18 was a Ruger Mark I. Had alot of fun with it until I let the big boys sway me to think the real fun was the bigger calibers with a bigger cost to shot. Now I'm loosing some strength in my hands so I sold some of the big toys and got a Ruger SR22 and all the .22lr ammo I can find and having fun again. But I still kept one .357 just in case.

Nope ... I love new guns, tho I still have the first gun I ever bought. Aside from that .. and a Smith .22 semi to replace one I had long ago ... just bought a Ruger LCR 22mag and a few months ago a Springer XDs .45 ... I love nostalgia, but modern weapons are just more interesting to me .. I'm 68, by the way ...
I found I was having a hard time keeping the muzzle down on harder recoiling guns ... I got a Gripmaster, been using it and a heavier successor for the past few years, I swear by it ... I can get back on target far faster and my accuracy is way up .. and ... I can open any jar my wife can bring home from the store ... she's always impressed ...

Yeah, getting old sucks, but it beats the hell out of not getting old.
It is nice, having the kids grown and gone, a more stable cash flow, and the ability to help others. Right now, when I buy a gun, it's normally for a grandkid. I've been giving away more guns lately than I've been buying.
For example, last year two grandsons, who both are left handed, got southpaw bolt rifles for Christmas. This year, another grandson is getting an old bolt rifle that I don't shoot much anymore. That old rifle is a 1983 model Rem 700 ADL in .308 Win with a Leupold scope. I think he'll like it.

PawPaw, I'm also in the same situation as you, especially with my oldest grandson, he's the shooter out of the bunch.

Old guys do you buy guns based on what you had in the past?
Not really, as I have kept my older firearms clean and pristine. My first purchase as a 24 y/o was a High Standard Sport King with walnut grips I added soon after. It still looks pretty much the same as it is today at 64 y/o. The same is true with my Savage Fox B 20 gauge side-by-side. There's no need to restock if they are continually cared for.
Many have the need to sell off their firearm or trade based on need or want. I simply have not sold or traded any of my firearms...only added to them out of want. Have passed a couple to my two Eagle Scout sons which they enjoy.

However, I did recently kind of do the nostalgia thing in that I found a Six inch, nickel, Hand Ejector M&P, 1905, Fourth Change that is very, very much like my Grandfather's revolver (which I choose to shoot no more) so that I could replicate the "feel" and experience of the older S&W revolvers.
Oddly enough, on the same day at the same show, I found & instantly fell in love with a 1952 Colt Challenger (budget model in the Woodsman line) that is the spittin' image of my Father's pistol... that my Mother now has... that my older brother will one day be getting.
And the Woodsman pistols are so fantastic that I just found a '55 Huntsman that seems to be ultra-clean and I'm waiting for it to arrive at my FFL. I chased this one because it's got the longer 6-inch target barrel. Can't wait!
Attention Brass rats and other reloaders: I really need .327 Federal Magnum brass, no lot size too small. Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.

Everyone buys things based on what they KNOW. It's the only way you can make decisions.
Older people tend to have more experience and they find all the newer fancy doodads are just that, doodads.
Younger people tend to, well not have the database (called experience) to make these decisions wisely.

Changing of the guard
About six years ago I sold most of my guns... Funny what I kept: a Remington 870 express and a Gamo pellet gun.
Sold included a bunch of nice revolvers and semi-auto pistols, and an un-fired colt sported with a low number.
Know what? I have had a blast making a new collection! I like the new one a lot better than the old one!
I guess the dream guns of 25 years ago are different than the dreams I have now.

But until senility sets in (which might be in a couple of weeks…) I think gun guys and gals are always on the lookout and willing to give a sniff to new stuff that might actually be useful and fill a need. Take the high capacity, point and shoot, Glock. The fact that it feels like a hunk of 2x4 in your hand and is so ugly you want to put a brown paper bag over it while you shoot it doesn't blind us to the real innovations it has brought to the table.
I think what us old guys are really nostalgic for are the PRICES of the guns of our youth. You know where you had your choice of a Colt Python or an S&W Model 27 for under $300 or a Woodsman or High Standard .22 LR for way under $200. I think the original Ruger Mark I sold for under $100. We just conveniently forget that a lot of us made less than $100 a week back then.

Here, here on nostalgia for the PRICES of my youth! And that we bought guns at Sears, hardware stores, and MAIL-ORDER
I have the Ruger Standard 6" that my Dad bought through mail-order directly from Ruger for $25. I used to examine the Ruger mail-order catalogue in great detail and drool over the .44 mag Blackhawks for $75 or $125? I think it was.
I am mostly interested in modern firearms like the Glock, Sako A7, and AR15. But I do have a few Garands and M1 Carbines because my Dad served in WWII. And I will someday get a SA six shooter because I watched TV in Western heyday. And I want to get a lever gun like my Grandad's 1916 Win 1894 .30 WCF.
But some older designs I like just because they are so well proven, such as the 1911 and S&W revolvers.

Merged Catholic Middle Schools Start New Tradition [AUDIO]
ST. CLOUD – Today (Tuesday) is the first day of school at St. Cloud Cathedral. And for the first time since 1972 the students in 7th and 8th grade are a part of Cathedral — not John XXIII Middle School.
President Mike Mullen says they retired the name over the summer, when the middle school merged with the Saints Peter, Paul and Michael Middle school.
The 7th and 8th grade students from both schools are now at the Cathedral building.

Every once in awhile I do manage to get out to a social sort of event. Recently I was at one such thing. And overhead the following:
Female, mid-40s: When I was in high school, I wanted to be a veterinarian. And I had great SAT scores, high 1400's [out of a then total 1600]. But my high school guidance counselor strongly discouraged me, and told me "those are really more men's kind of jobs." So I gave up thinking about vet school, even though I had the ability.
Male, same age: When I was in high school, I wanted to learn to type. Probably because I just wanted to take what I thought was an easy class, but I kept asking over and over to be allowed to take a typing class. My guidance counselor wouldn't let me register for typing. He told me "you're going to college, you don't need typing. You'll have a secretary to do your typing for you." And then all through college I had to pay people to type my term papers for me, and spend hundreds of dollars on that. My first job out of college, I walk into the office and my boss sits me in front of a computer and says "you'll have to type [complex documents in his industry] on this." Just last week, my current boss saw me pecking away with two fingers and said "I can't believe you can't type."
Sexist gender role expectations are not innocent, and not without effect, even if everybody grows up to have lives that they are more or less happy with. Both of these people have what you would call a nice life. But one of them had her whole life course dramatically changed because of a guidance counselor's sexist beliefs about what jobs belonged to which gender, and another had to spend cash he didn't really have to spare in college, and spends time he doesn't have to spare now on the job, because of another guidance counselor's sexist beliefs about who should learn to type and who would have the typing done for them.
The differential effects of sexism often mean that men are less predisposed to be aware of them - having someone tell you "you don't need to worry about typing" is not quite as dramatic and life-altering as having them tell you "vet school is for the men, little lady". Men do have a lot of privilege to lose in moving to a more equitable system of gender relations, but they also have some things to gain. One of my commenters - I think it was SKM - posted a link on another thread to Men's Lives by Michael Kimmel. It's an interesting looking collection of essays on the intersection of race, class, and gender, focusing on men's lives, of course, as the title indicates. It would be something useful for all the d00dly Zuskateers (is that an oxymoron?) to read and ponder.

A New Attitude
After my last few posts, and the tons of comments from thegoodman and Queef, I've started thinking seriously about my approach to this blog. Maybe I am just a little too angry for no good reasons, too often just calling childish names and not solving discrimination. Perhaps I can do better. Perhaps I should start with a new profile photo, something more friendly and welcoming to all. My proposed new profile photo can be found after the jump. Let me know what you think.
I Had A Dream
Reader Jason commented on my post about compulsory smiling thusly:
I just wanted to thank everyone for the comments here. They've been enlightening... to be honest I had never heard of anyone being ordered to smile outside of greeter/public relation jobs (chalk it up to youthful naivete, I suppose). With that in mind when I first read the post it struck me as an overreaction to something minor, but it's hard to argue with a few dozen women from all over with the exact same stories and reactions.
I don't know if I've ever been guilty of this behavior in my life (I hope not, though I am a cheerful person and tend to strive for that in others), but I will certainly watch for it in myself and others from here on out. Sincerely, thanks.
Isis and JC rightly point out what is so very annoying and maddening about this sort of response, as positive as it may seem. Isis:
If one woman writes about something, it doesn't require the commiseration of every woman on the internet to make it valid.
The reason Jason "has never heard anyone" (not "anyone" little tyke, it's WOMEN!) being ordered to smile is because he is not a woman, men don't hear women, men ignore women, it takes 5 women saying the same thing over and over to be heard once by a man.
I am so on the same page with my sisters. And yet...
First Year Patriarchy Laboratory
Christina Pikas has a nice post about finding information in books.
Sadly, however, she notes the following:
What kinds of things might a book work best for?...not for cutting edge, mostly
What does this imply when you think about our ongoing project to work our way through Allan Johnson's The Gender Knot? Oh crap, we're doing gender equity work, but we're not on the cutting edge?
That's okay, d00dz. Trust me, you so do not want to jump right to the cutting edge of discourse on the patriarchy. Did you walk right into the lab as an undergrad or a fresh grad student and start banging chemicals and glassware and equipment around?** I didn't think so. You had to learn some basics and background info first.
I guarantee you, though, that if you stick with The Gender Knot you will come through at the end knowing a whole lot more about patriarchy and gender issues, in a useful manner, than perhaps you did about chemistry at the end of your first-year chem lab. At least, if your first-year chem lab was like mine.
**If you did, you are just a fool. That shit is dangerous.
Next Gender Knot Post Will Be Next Week
Hi all...just wanted to let you know that I am planning to do the first post for Chapter 2 of The Gender Knot sometime next week, probably mid-week. I have the new edition of the book and have been reading but there's a lot of stuff going on with mine and Mr. Z's family this week. I hope to do a few posts on other topics in the meantime, but we will be back with the Gender Knot next week. Meanwhile. there are still some pretty active discussions on the last few posts. Thanks to my readers for such intense conversation.
Gender Knot Ch. 1 Follow Up: Who Has The Power of the Gaze?
What does it mean when a woman ogles a man in the patriarchy?
Reader RichB commented:
...men being looked at as sexual objects increases their power, but women being looked at as sexual objects decreases their power.
Reader Hope isn't buying it:
Really? So if I ogle a man, I'm increasing his power? If a man ogles another man, he's increasing that other man's power? Or is it just that I, as a woman, have no power to objectify a man? No power, period?
What's the answer? Can a woman objectify a man, or not?
Gender Knot Ch. 1 Follow Up: Intentionality
In light of the great discussion you all have been having on the second post on Chapter 1 of The Gender Knot, I thought it would be a good time to direct you to this most excellent Feminism 101 post at Shakesville, "Sexism Is A Matter Of Opinion". The whole thing is pure gold but I'd like to point out in particular this section on intentionality.
The Gender Knot: Ch. 1 Discussion - "Where Are We?" Part 2
Welcome to our discussion of The Gender Knot by Allan Johnson. This is the second post in the discussion series. We will be discussing Chapter 1 "Where Are We?" You can find all posts connected to this discussion here.
As noted before, there is an updated edition of the book now available. In the first post, I was working with the 1997 edition. I now have the new edition and this post is based on that edition. The first chapter is available online here. If you haven't had a chance to read the chapter, maybe you'd like to go now and read the pages covering "Women and Patriarchy" and "Deep Structure and the Way Out", page 13 to the end.
Just as in the first post, let's start with one important concept. If you take away nothing else from today's post, please at least spend some time chewing on this bit (based on arguments of sociologist David Wellman) which is actually to be found in a footnote on page 15 (emphasis mine):
The words sexism and sexist are commonly used to describe a personal prejudice or the person who holds it...however, that approach is too narrow to be of use because male privilege requires far more than this to continue...I use the term to indicate anything that has the effect of promoting male privilege, regardless of the intentions of the people involved. By judging actions, policies, and institutional arrangements solely in terms of their consequences, [this] conceptualization allows us to focus on the full range of forces that perpetuate male privilege, and saves us from the trap of personalizing what is essentially a social and systematic phenomenon.
We're going to take this concept along with Johnson's metaphor of patriarchy as a tree and use both to look at a particularly illustrative and timely (in the blogospheric sense) case study. Yes, I am speaking of tit-ogling. Come along with me, d00ds, for we have much to talk about.

"What is a Christian?" Lisa asked Mom. They were in the car, driving to piano lessons. "What religion is that?"
"A Christian is someone who believes in and follows the teachings of Jesus Christ." Mom glanced at her. "What's this about?"
Lisa sighed. "Some kids asked me if I was Christian, and I told them that I was Mormon."
"Mormon is a name some people call our Church members because we believe in the Book of Mormon as well as in the Bible." Mom smiled at her. "Do you know the full name of our church?"
"Yes—it's The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
"Right! It has Jesus' name in it because it's His Church, and we worship Him and obey His commandments. So we are definitely Christians." Mom patted Lisa's knee. "But I can think of two quick answers you can use to tell someone about our church."
"What are they?"
"I know that you've already learned most of the Articles of Faith," Mom said. "Tell me the first one."
"OK. 'We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.'" [A of F 1:1]
Mom smiled. "Excellent! Did you listen to what you said? You just told the whole world what Latter-day Saints believe."
"Yes! I did!" Lisa sat up straight, "We believe in Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost."
"Good. The second way to tell people about our church is even easier. This one is a song."
"A song?"
"Can you think of a Primary song about the Savior and the Church?"
"'Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,'" Lisa sang, her voice cracking on the high note.
They both laughed.
"Well, that's a good song," Mom said. "But I was thinking of 'The Church of Jesus Christ.'" *
"Let's sing it together. Listen closely to the words and see if you can hear what we believe. Ready?"
Lisa was smiling when they finished singing. "That is easy!"
"If anyone asks you what church you belong to, tell them, 'I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.'"
"And I'm a Christian!"
"And you're always going to be one of Jesus' sunbeams, too!"

LEE McCULLOCH takes the same approach to answering questions about his team's prospects this season as Kevin Pietersen, the recently deselected England cricketer, does to batting.
The Rangers captain starts off determined to take it nice and easy, playing everything with a straight bat, and offering up nothing that could be considered ill-judged.
Then he is enticed in with a question about the authenticity of any treble Rangers might win this season and he finally cuts loose, ditching the "one game at a time" platitudes to speak freely about just what it would mean should Rangers go all the way and lift the Scottish Cup. First came the question of just where any clean sweep would rank in comparison to previous domestic trebles in the club's history.
Loading article content
Alex Rae, the one-time Ibrox midfielder, had offered his opinion that winning a treble comprising a third-tier title, the Ramsdens Cup and the Scottish Cup should not be considered as significant as the more traditional, rarely achieved set of top-flight title, League Cup and Scottish Cup. McCulloch did his best to laugh it off, listing Rae as an old friend, but felt it would be an impressive achievement regardless. "Well, it would be three trophies and that, to me, is a treble," he said. "Why not? It's not our fault that we're not in the Premiership.
"I'll be shouting about it, whatever we can win. People can talk and we've already been written off for the Scottish Cup - it's been said we're not in the top five to win it. That's just part and parcel of playing at Rangers. You take it on the chin and try to prove people wrong and that's what we're doing."
Winning the Scottish Cup would have seemed like a fairly optimistic ambition for Rangers at the start of this season, especially given the way they were comprehensively defeated by Dundee United in the same competition last season. The exit of several Premiership sides, most notably Celtic, a kind draw, and the fact that both semi-finals this year will be played at Ibrox, however, now makes it a very real prospect indeed. McCulloch could not have been any more polite and respectful to Albion Rovers, Rangers' opponents at Ibrox in the quarter-finals, but eventually there came an acknowledgement that there was a more than decent chance of the season concluding with him lifting the trophy at Celtic Park. "It would mean the world to me if we were lucky enough to win the Scottish Cup," he added. "We're two games away from the final - two home ties. I've won it a few times before but to do it as captain would be a fantastic feeling.
"It would make it more special given that we are in the third tier at the moment. It would be amazing. We have a good chance. We are two home games away from a final but two hard home games I'd imagine.
"I don't think we're favourites. Aberdeen are already in a cup final, as we are, and I think their league form would make them favourites. We just need to keep doing what we are doing. If we can string a cup run together, great. If not, our main priority at the start of the season was the league and it will remain that way."
Rangers could, in theory, win the Scottish Cup without playing a single top-tier team along the way but McCulloch would relish the chance of a match-up with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, St Johnstone, Dundee United or Aberdeen.
"Last season we beat Motherwell and then we were beaten by Inverness and Dundee United. But I think we're better equipped this season. That doesn't mean to say we'll go and wipe the floor with them. But it would be good to get a gauge, just to see where we are."
McCulloch's preference to pad up to some questions comes from a feeling that his words have been misinterpreted in the past. He does, however, stand by his previous statement that there is not that big a gap between the lower end of the Premiership and the other three divisions.
"I said the gap isn't as big in the SPL [Premiership] as it is in the so-called lower divisions and I still stand by that but it got twisted a wee bit by a few people. What I was meaning was potentially the bottom six in the SPL to some of the teams in the lower leagues, I honestly don't see as big a gap as what people think.
"Maybe I didn't explain that well enough or whatever but I think the results are there and the standard is there for everyone to see."
McCulloch elected not to take the chance to address off-field matters such as the players' recent decision not to take a proposed pay cut. "It wasn't unsettling," he said. "We just focus on the football in the dressing room and try to win games and, to be fair, the boys have done that."
Rangers quarter-season tickets are now on sale from the Rangers Ticket Centre, online at www.rangers.co.uk or by calling 0871 702 1972.

It's most often the last thing you put on your deck or add to your patio, but railing serves an important purpose. For safety and aesthetic reasons, patio or deck railing is essential on many layouts. To choose the right railing for your home and to help the installation go smoothly, think about your personal preferences, the size and shape of your patio and the construction of your deck.
1) Think Purpose
Consider what you are going to be using your deck or patio for. Will you be entertaining a crowd or searching for some solitude? Will you want to watch the surrounding wildlife or simply see the book in front of you? The purpose of your patio will be the first determining factor in the choice of railing.
For hosting a crowd you'll want railing that helps to direct traffic and maintains an open feeling. Consider using benches as a barrier to provide extra seating or including multiple levels on the deck with railings installed in the higher areas and the lower decks left open.
A peaceful oasis out of the hustle and bustle means you will need privacy screens. Essentially a fence installed on your deck or patio, this type of railing needs properly supported posts. Either install them directly in the ground for a patio or bolt them strongly to the frame of your deck.
2) Think Perception
No matter what size your patio is, you'll want it to appear larger. Keep an open feeling whenever possible with railing that blends in. Black pickets made from aluminum are ideal for many designs and tempered glass gives you an expansive appearance even in a limited space.
Glass needs to be tempered for safety reasons and is often required to be a certain thickness to comply with building codes. Tinted or patterned tempered glass will help to cut down on incidents of birds flying into the railing. Also glass panels can be installed in wood, vinyl or metal channels, it goes up fairly quickly and is readily available.
3) Think Compliance
If your deck is more than a foot or two off of the ground you'll need to choose a style of railing that complies with local building codes. You may also need to install that railing with the proper hardware or clip system, so be sure to apply for your permit well ahead of time and get what you need to put the railing up.
You will also need to read the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, especially when working with prefabricated sections.
4) Think Investment
This definitely doesn't mean to install the cheapest railing you can find. Investing in a railing that is durable and low maintenance will save you money over the long term. You also want to think of what that railing can add to your deck. Visual interest, safety and security as well as a structure for potted plants, storage and even furniture are just a few of those benefits.
Using stainless steel hardware for the installation may also be a bit pricier, but will result in a structure that's built to last.
Thinking about these four things will help you to choose the ideal railing. It will also help you to install it in the strongest and safest manner, resulting in a complete deck or patio your family can live better on.Posted by: TrustedPros

Lost saves best moment for last in confusing, Jack-centered episode "Lighthouse"
This is the new rhythm for Lost's final season; one groundbreaking episode filled with revelations and amazing characterizations, followed by an episode so static it feels as if the show is running in place.
On Tuesday, we got another standing still footrace, courtesy of the Jack-centered episode "Lighthouse." I've said before that Lost feels weakest when it focuses on the characters which seem to be its stars -- Josh Holloway's haunting performances this season as a disillusioned, mourning Sawyer notwithstanding.
At least we added to our tally of answers for the ultimate Lost questions this final season MUST answer; thanks to a few words from killer hermit babe Claire Littleton. More on that later.
But "Lighthouse" continued that not-so grand tradition of building lackluster episodes around central characters, toggling between two timelines for Matthew Fox's put upon hero Jack Shephard. In one, his plane from New Zealand doesn't crash and he's struggling to connect with a son we've never seen before -- a dark-haired teen with attitude named David whose mother we don't see and history we can barely guess.
In the other timeline, Jack's plane has crashed and he's manipulated by Jacob and Hurley into sneaking out of the mysterious temple where mysterious people are forcing them to stay. (of course, Jacob gets him to leave by revising a hurtful quote from his dead father -- a subject sure to push our headstrong Jack's biggest emotional buttons).
He's led to a lighthouse outfitted with large mirrors; those mirrors can be adjusted with a contraption that assigns the names of various Losties to degree positions, with some names scratched out -- just like the cave where our mysterious villain took Sawyer last episode. When the mirrors are aligned with his name, Jack sees his boyhood home and realizes Jacob has been watching him a looong time.
So, of course, he destroys the mirrors in a classic freakout episode.
At least we get a glimpse into Jack's psyche when he explains why he returned to the island most recently: "I was broken," he said, tensely. "And I was stupid enough to think this place could fix me."
In keeping with my theory, "Lighthouse's" most interesting moments came when it turned to the story of Claire in the post-crash timeline. Living like an extra from a Mad Max movie, Claire has been stuck on the island for three years, developing a reputation as a ruthless killer while searching for her lost son -- who we know was taken from the island by Kate.
The show also continued its tradition of killing off the black folks on screen, as Claire proved her murderous habits by sticking an axe in the gut of a guard from the Temple she captured along with former pal Jin. (I'm only kidding. Sorta.)
Given how plodding and frustrating most of this episode was, it made a certain kind of sense that the most interesting moment would come at the end -- when our villain appears at Claire's tent in the form of Terry O'Quinn's magnetic John Locke.
For fans, that single moment provided a host of revelations, like a key turning over a lock. We can assume our villain, who I call Not-Locke, led Claire away from the rest of the castaways when she disappeared in season four, first taking the form of Jack's dead father and later appearing as Locke.
He's seemingly "recruited" her as a friend, in the same way he tried recruiting Sawyer last episode; and he's convinced her that the folks inside the temple have her baby. For beings of such enormous power, Not-Locke and Jacob are exceedingly good at manipulating regular folks.
So, if the pattern holds, Not-Locke will spend much of next week's episode downloading more revelations, like TV's most interesting Answer Man (fancy writers call that stuff exposition).
If only there was a way to spread that love around to every episode, and break this fitful pattern of boom and bust episodes for good. Jacob, are you listening?

The Old Cattle Market in Helston was ringing with "a repertoire of lively music" during a Christmas party held for the town's senior citizens.
Saturday's event was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard and was attended by 50 senior citizens from Porthleven and Mullion.
Tony Smart, from the rotary club, said: "It was really gratifying to see so many new faces."
Music from Porthleven Band kept the crowd entertained whilst they enjoyed an afternoon tea provided by members of Helston and Lizard Inner Wheel, and sherry and soft drinks provided by the rotary members.
The afternoon ended with a special appearance from Father Christmas, who came to hand out gifts to the guests.
This was the first time the club had used the Old Cattle Market as a venue for its sponsored Christmas party and it turned out to be a great success, with the round tables giving the elderly a great opportunity to chat and be merry.
Special thanks for the success of the event have be expressed to the drivers of Age Concern who provided transport to the party from Porthleven and Mullion.

Back in high school when my friends and I started discovering that we liked girls after all, a common bugbear was when your best mate got a girlfriend and no longer had time for his friends.
On the odd occasion they did come along to something, they'd be off cuddling in a corner, and that wasn't such a bad thing because their sickly sweet conversation was so nauseating you didn't want to talk to them anyway.
I thought that was over as my friends gradually started settling into long-term relationships, shelving the overt public displays of affection and buckling down for the agonising normality of full-time work that was to follow.
But no. A new problem has emerged, and it takes place when your good friends start breeding.
People you've known for years or even decades suddenly change. Understandably they're exhausted from the sheer lack of sleep, but it goes further than that.
Their conversation turns boring – they start talking about how much babies weigh and giggling about those awkward child-rearing home truths like the unusual colour and smell of baby poo and the agonies of mastitis.
They get a new circle of baby-push friends and have picnics, beach-side barbecues and other social events that fizzle out by mid-afternoon.
And they expect their childless friends to do all the visiting.
My wife and I do get a certain amount of pleasure from being the doting aunt and uncle to a range of kids, I'll admit.
We get to enjoy the happiness that comes from spending time around kids, but hand them back when things get messy.
But I think we don't get enough cred for the role we play, which can get really exhausting. It feels like almost every weekend we go baby-kissing. Sometimes we kiss multiple babies on a single day.
We're the ones who rack up the mileage doing the visits and organising catch-ups. And we seem to make almost all the phone calls.
Raising these issues is completely taboo. Have some empathy, man. They've just had their first child! With a double income and no kids, you're practically rolling in time and money in comparison.
Sure, I get that. But I've also observed among our friends some notable exceptions.
From very early in the picture they have made an ongoing effort to keep their former social life.
They bring their newborns to social gatherings, where they get passed around from one friend to another and in most cases seem to quite enjoy the occasion. They play tag where one goes out while the other does the looking-after. And they make conversation from time to time that isn't related to babies.
Others, however, get really insular. Surely it's a healthy thing as a couple to each have some of your own friends and social events, rather than doing absolutely everything together. It brings fresh ideas and experiences into the relationship, and it allows each person to nurture himself or herself as an individual, as well as a couple.
But there are some couples with young kids that are spending every minute as a family unit, and appear to be getting pretty bored with each other, to be honest. Aside from being a shame for friends like me, it's ultimately not going to be sustainable for them either. What interests will they have left when the kids leave home?
The childed and the childless both have a role to play here, and for our part we organise events, particularly around Christmas, where children and adults are all welcome. We go to a park or the beach and have water fights and do other energetic stuff in the afternoon, then go back to ours and eat a big meal.
I'm just saying there is a middle ground here. I'll make an effort to be an affable and doting guest in this noisy, chaotic new world if you make an effort to understand that I don't belong there just yet and your baby looks to me the same as every other.
I know, I know, I probably just don't get how hard it is to raise kids. It makes me think we probably should get our act together and have some ourselves, if only to get a ticket to the baby push events.
Maybe it's a chemical thing. Ask me when I'm on the other side if the conversation suddenly becomes interesting.

Inspirational cancer sufferer from Taverham completes Race for Life challenge two weeks early ahead of surgery
As thousands gear up for this weekend's Race for Life one inspirational cancer sufferer has already completed the event after surgery forced her to undertake the challenge two weeks early.
Kathryn Dugdale-Evans, of Bell Close, Taverham, was faced with the shock diagnoses of bowel cancer last year - just a day before her 34th birthday - after she went to see her doctor with stomach pains.
Following a quick hospital referral, with hopes that she was just suffering from irritable bowl syndrome, it was soon discovered that the pain was more serious.
She said: "It was a real surprise when I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and I was just shocked, especially to get it at my age. There is no history of it in my family either.
"The date of this year's Race for Life in Norwich would have been a year to the day since my diagnoses so I knew it was going to be emotional anyway - that's when I thought of taking part."
Since her diagnoses Mrs Dugdale-Evans has undergone a variety of scans, taken a range of medication and had major surgery to remove tumours in June 2013.
She then endured seven months of chemotherapy and suffered side effects including six anaphylactic shocks and daily nausea and fatigue.
So when her next surgery date was set for April 9, this year, the former general manager of a hotel decided to keep positive by taking part in the UK's largest women-only fundraiser.
She said: "Training was hideous. One side effect of chemo was taking steroids and they had a massive affected on my joints. I could barely move at first.
"My local gym gave me a month's free membership though and before I became ill I use to run as a hobby. I gave myself four weeks to train but then I found out my surgery date had been moved to May 7. I knew I wouldn't be able to run the race on the 17th and I was devastated."
But determined to go ahead with the race and continue raising her sponsorship money she decided to bring the race forward and set up her own 10k on May 4 at Eaton Park.
Joined by 14 of her closest friends and family, with her husband of three years, Lee, 34, cycling by her side, she ran the 10k in one hour and seven minutes and crossed a finishing line creatively made with a roll of toilet paper.
She said: "It was great. I did six laps and each time I went round I could hear my friends and family cheering me on."
Mrs Dugdale-Evans is now recovery well at home since her operation last week and has manage to raise £865 with her efforts.
Previously completing the 5k Race for Life twice before, for the women taking part in today's event she added: "I wish everyone the very best on the day. "I am always inspired by the messages on the back of people's t-shirts and it will be a great feeling for them when they finish. I wish them luck."
Check out our Race for Life guide here.
And warning others who may be nervous about getting themselves checked out by their GP, she said: "Any unusual bowel problems you must go to the doctor. Bowel cancer is only screened for the over 60s so people should get themselves checked."

Verizon Fios includes Internet, phone and TV service, where available. It is built on a fiber-optic network. Verizon is one of the first Internet service providers in the country to offer fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) service. Fiber-optic technology is capable of transmitting more data over longer distances than cable, DSL and dial-up.
The increased bandwidth means Fios customers can reach higher download and upload speeds than other technologies. When you're online, your computer constantly downloads and uploads information. The higher those bandwidth numbers are, the faster you'll be able to load websites, download files—including movies, music and pictures—and upload pictures and files to share with others.
Don't settle for less than 100% of the Internet. Only Fios customers get upload speeds as fast as their download speeds. Use the Internet the way you want, as much as you want.
Ready to get online with fiber-optic Internet? Call now to check Fios availability in your area. Verizon Fios is available to more than 15 million homes across the nation. Millions have switched to fiber-optic Internet from Verizon and the reviews are positive. Call now to see if you can get online with Verizon!
How fast do you want to go? Verizon Fios offers unbeatable speed.
Many cable providers top out near or around the 50 Mbps speed. Not Fios. Verizon Fios offers download speeds up to 500 Mbps1 in some areas of the country! At that speed, you can download a 5GB HD movie in just 1.4 minutes.2
With 500Mbps Verizon Fios service, you can choose and download your movie before your popcorn finishes popping.
Don't plan your life around a slower Internet connection. The fiber-optic network powering Verizon Fios frees you to use the Internet the way you want.

It is with great excitement that we invite you to a PPS-UK national gathering hosted by the London Chapter.
When: Saturday, 21st November 2009, 1-5 p.m + social event in the evening.
Where: London Action Resource Centre, 62 Fieldgate street, Whitechapel, London, E1 1ES
PPSUK has continued to grow after our first annual meeting early this year and now we need to consolidate this growth and take the development of PPSUK to the next level. More and more people are beginning to be concerned with institutional alternatives such as Parecon. In line with this, PPSUK has increased its presence in progressive/leftist circles with our new website hosting a great deal of exciting debate, projects and organising for a participatory society. PPSUK seems to be attracting an extremely diverse group of people. Many are new to activism but are deeply concerned and convinced of the need for alternatives such as parecon. All this is good news! However, to develop further and to win a participatory society PPSUK will need to bring together its membership to move forward on issues such as national structure/decision making and constitutions etc.
Efforts on this have already started on the website forum but we need those that are interested in winning a participatory society to get together at the national level in order to take us forward. The London chapter has organised this meeting as a means of bringing members together for these purposes and to work on other projects etc. We particularly encourage members who don't have local groups to come along and chat with those that have set up and developed local groups in their areas and exchange contacts/network/ideas. We need to build up PPSUK on the local level but also bring ParSoc type institutions into our organisation up to the national level. These are exciting times and we hope to see you there.
As if the chance of a day out in London isn't appealing enough (sorry bit Londoncentric), we will also be having a "festive" social event after business is done.
SIGN UP AS A MEMBER – if you are not already a member sign up on our website
ATTENDANCE – please let us know whether you are attending by logging in to the website and checking 'attending this event' on the events page
CONTRIBUTE TO THE AGENDA – suggest and discuss items for the agenda which we will finalise over the upcoming weeks.
thanks, and hope to see you there!
The PPS-UK London Chapter

There used to be a fun thread back in the day where somebody posts a pic of a player, and you gotta guess who he is without the help of Google... I'll attempt to bring it back, in a way. You can post pics of guys that were once Raptors, and people have to guess their name. Might be some history lessons for the younger folks! If the mods allow it, I suggest we can post pics of any ex-player from any team, while still in the Raptors Forum... You get it right, you can post the next pic of the player of your choice.
I'll start it of with this guy:
If you cheat and use Google, you're just cheating yourself, man!

29 cats, one dog returned to animal sanctuary owner
Wed, 02 Mar 2011 22:05:28 GMT —
Horry County has returned 29 cats and one dog to the owner of Sacred Vision Animal Sanctuary .
The animals were among 227 seized from Elizabeth Owen Tuesday after a court hearing. Horry County Solicitor Gregg Hembree asked for the cats to be removed after getting reports from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. PETA says the cats were not being cared for properly, causing them health problems and in some cases death. http://www.carolinalive.com/news/story.aspx?id=585319
The animals that have been returned to Owen are her personal pets. Horry County's animal care center had the animals checked out by a veterinarian before giving them back.
Horry County still has to care for the rest of the cats until Owen's case is decided in court.
The county is asking for donations of metal food and water bowls, laundry soap, paper towels and newspapers.
You can donate those items and cash to the Horry County Animal Care Center.
The shelter is located at:
103 Elm StreetConway, SC 29526-5116(843) 248-1520

Unknown to most, fax machines have been in use for more than a century. That is not to say that they were always an affordable and popular method of communication, it was not until the early 1980's that the use of fax machine technology became widely accepted in the business world. While faxing can be viewed as an affordable and practical method of business communication, its use is being rapidly phased out of the business world thanks in part to the popularity of email and other methods of electronic document communication.
Faxing technology should not be considered dated or too prehistoric for modern business use, there are still many benefits that can be experienced by faxing – especially for those small businesses tech savvy enough to request Internet based faxing services from their hosted small business VoIP provider.
Some of these wonderful and business enhancing benefits include:
a. Rapid and almost instantaneous data communication. Online fax messages are delivered instantly to the recipients email client (or fax machine).
b. Security and privacy are ensured. Online fax messages can be routed to a private email client. If that email client is secure then the recipient will be the primary individual to receive and view the documents (unlike traditional faxing that would go straight to a fax machine accessible to everyone).
c. Virtual faxes cannot get lost. A common complaint among traditional fax users was that their messages were often lost in a jumble of papers – or never received at all. Since VoIP faxes are delivered directly to an inbox there are no papers to sift through.
d. Online fax can be accessed from anywhere at anytime. Since Online faxes are sent as email attachments they can be received or sent from any correctly configured email platform, including PDAs and smart phones – a huge benefit to employees on the road.
e. No more busy signals. Anyone familiar with traditional faxing knows how frustrating it can be to need to send a fax or receive on only to find that there are dozens of faxes ahead of yours. Online based faxing allows for any number of faxes to be sent or received simultaneously to a single telephone number or email address.

Artist of the day: Rose Bilal
Few would argue about the impact that jazz singer and keyboardist Rose Bilal has had by performing at homes, churches, family reunions and special events throughout Tampa Bay.
Now her friends in the community are coming to her aid. "For the Love of Rose" will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Palladium in St. Petersburg.
Back in May, Bilal suffered a stroke and was hospitalized for a month. Her medical bills exceeded $250,000 and her rehab requires therapy and home health care.
The event, to help defray medical costs, is organized by the Al Downing Tampa Bay Jazz Association, the Palladium Theater and WUSF-FM 89.7.
"She has made a great contribution to keeping jazz alive, as well as making a great contribution to bringing entertainment and motivation to many types of groups," said Bette Gregg, vice president of the jazz association.

Bartlett Updated: Renewing the Idea of a Shared Culture
By JAMES GLEICK;
Published: August 8, 1993
THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW turned over a good part of its letters space recently to a tempest over the line -- mangled in a review -- "A day away from Tallulah is like a month in the country." It isn't in the new 16th edition of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. Six letter writers and the editor attributed it to eight of the usual suspects: George S. Kaufman, Dorothy Parker, Alexander Woollcott, Howard Dietz, Robert Benchley, Ilka Chase, Tallulah Bankhead's husband and Goodman Ace. In another letter in the same issue we found the poet Anthony Hecht upbraiding the novelist Alison Lurie for failing to notice a light-fingered borrowing by the novelist Peter Ackroyd from the poet Wordsworth about some sentimental mist glittering over some plashy earth. This is also missing from Bartlett's -- though the new edition has finally caught up with Evelyn Waugh's far more important plashitude: "Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole."
Pity the editors of any familiar quotations volume. The culture moves so fast these days. Who knows whose bons mots will be borrowed, twisted, misremembered and misattributed in next week's Book Review? John Bartlett himself, having begun in 1855 with the essential smattering of Bible, Shakespeare and mostly English stalwarts, went through nine editions in his lifetime without ever awakening to his contemporaries Whitman, Thoreau or Melville. Today editors have to keep their fingers more tightly on the pulse. Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley have become ancient sages; to capture the words now on our lips and pens, the new edition has felt obliged to canonize less venerable authors like the Doors ("Come on, baby, light my fire"), "Sesame Street" ("Me want cookie!") and Monty Python's Flying Circus ("This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot"). No wonder the editors liked this last one, a micro-Bartlett's, from the Bible to George Eliot in 60 words.
All the Bartlett's editors since Bartlett have been challenged to redefine their work product. Christopher Morley, the 11th edition's editor, described it in words found quotable by the 15th edition's editor: "a sort of anthropology; a social history; a diary of the race." Justin Kaplan, the editor of the new edition, notes a more contemporary-minded mission as well, "both intellectual history and cultural montage, a key to past and present taste." As Mr. Kaplan says, the chronological arrangement of authors in Bartlett's (in contrast to the alphabetical arrangement in such competitors as The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations) makes it a book for not just reference but browsing; it "invites readers to travel over land masses and archeological layers of remembered words."
Cultural montage is certainly right. In this day of multiculturalism, any good quotation book reads as an antidote to the fissioning and fragmenting. It is a monument to the battered idea of a shared culture (monoculturalism? uniculturalism?), treating our language as a web that binds us with strands reaching back to ancestral memories. Never mind whether all these words of Chaucer and Milton and the other dead white men beloved of John Bartlett should be familiar; surprisingly often they are familiar, still. Or if not familiar then resonant in other ways.
If people now read fewer and fewer of the same books, listen to the same authorities or even watch the same television shows, we nevertheless find that we can hardly communicate without falling back on bits of quotation, steppingstones in the muck of daily discourse. At the level of sound bite and cliche, we are always quoting, if inadvertently: "So much for him" (Hamlet). "In my mind's eye" (Hamlet again). "Good -- bad -- indifferent" and "That's another story" (both Laurence Sterne). "The plot thickens" (George Villiers). An "embarrassment of riches" (Abbe d'Allainval). We quote to capture with utmost economy particular nuances or emotions. How else to get across that certain flavor of sanctimonious outrage but say: "I'm shocked -- shocked! . . ." (still missing from Bartlett's, though no fewer than four other lines from "Casablanca" have now made the grade, including one I've already quoted). We're surrounded by this stuff, like it or not.
The editors of Bartlett's have increasingly recognized that the stuff is not just the fine words of literate types but the movie lines and catch phrases that keep ringing in our ears: "Go ahead, make my day" (Joseph C. Stinson, in the screenplay for "Sudden Impact"), a new entry with a Ronald Reagan footnote, "I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers: 'Go ahead. . . .' "). As Mr. Kaplan notes in his preface, there are "nursery rhymes, song lyrics and the like that have so much talismanic force they function on a nearly preintellectual level." There are shards of instant history: "None of us really understands what's going on with all these numbers" (David Stockman). Where our explosively diversifying culture has made the task of a Bartlett's editor difficult is in offering up an ever greater torrent of material. When you browse the final pages of this edition -- "E. T., phone home"; "We are the world, / We are the children," and "All I can say to them is read my lips: no new taxes" -- you start to think of someone standing under a waterfall with a teacup.

Denver • Trucks began rolling again across a southern Wyoming artery that had been shuttered for more than 24 hours and officials in Nebraska made plans to move some primary polling locations Monday following a powerful spring storm that brought up to 3 feet of snow to the Rockies and spawned thunderstorms and tornadoes in the Midwest.
Interstate 80, a major east-west truck route, reopened in Wyoming a day after its closure stranded thousands of travelers and truckers. The interstate quickly became crowded with the trucks that had packed rest areas.
Residents in eastern Nebraska were cleaning up from Sunday's thunderstorms and twisters, which ripped roofs off homes and toppled buildings, but caused no major injuries.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
When he was taken to the emergency room his temperature was very low and they said this was caused by urinary tract infection. after being hospitalized they did a colon exam because of his frequent and loose bowel movements. Yes the doctor was a Gi and all they told us was his colon was inflated and she deflated it and that it had collapsed and that there wasn't anything else she could do.
Yes he is still having bowel movements and this has been on going since Oct. 2010. There is no blood but most of the time it's something clear like mucus. I'm in Georgia.

MAKHACHKALA, August 18 (RIA Novosti) - Four people were injured in an explosion in Dagestan early on Tuesday, the volatile southern Russian republic's interior ministry said.
"An unidentified explosive device went off at 10:05 local time (06:05 GMT) not far from the market in Kizilyurt [a town west of the republic's capital Makhachkala]. The blast went off when a police patrol was passing by. Four people, including two police officers, were injured," a ministry official said.
He said investigation was underway.
Russia's mainly Muslim North Caucasus republics have been swept by a wave of violence in recent months, with attacks on troops, police and other officials a daily occurrence.
Neighboring Ingushetia saw its deadliest attack in years on Monday. A suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden minivan into the gates of the police headquarters in the republic's largest city Nazran, killing at least 20 people and injuring 138, mainly civilians.
President Dmitry Medvedev dismissed Ingushetia's interior minister on Monday and ordered a probe into police performance in the wake of the bombing.
