"I don't really understand why Republicans don't take Obama's offer to freeze taxes for everyone below $250,000 — make it $500,000, make it a million," Kristol argued. "Really? The Republican Party is going to fall on its sword to defend a bunch of millionaires, half of whom voted Democratic and half of them live in Hollywood?"
This line of thinking is becoming increasingly common amongst Republicans and conservatives nowadays. Progressives in the media are encouraging President Obama and Democrats in Congress not to bail on the game of chicken and just allow the set of policies that encompass the fiscal cliff to come to pass and then retroactively deal with the problems created. If that's the case, Republicans might have little to bargain for - but the progressives might still find that Republicans have a little fight in them yet.

Oysters are pretty cool creatures. They live most of their lives in a shell at the bottom of rivers or bays – except for those that get eaten! That may sound like a pretty boring life, but these animals are actually very important and very exciting. That's because oysters help clean up the water they live in. Oysters eat by sucking water through their bodies, pulling out the nutrients they need to grow. It's just like when you eat your fruits and vegetables. At the same time, oysters remove the bad stuff that pollutes the water and their bodies send clean water back into the waterway. Hundreds of years ago, there were so many oysters in the Chesapeake Bay that the entire bay was cleaned every few days. Now it takes more than a year!
Oysters are known as a keystone species. That means that water with oysters makes a good home for other animals, like fish and crabs. So we need oysters to have a healthy Chesapeake Bay. That's what the Oyster Recovery Partnership works on.
Kids can help. Shelly, ORP's oyster mascot, and Lucky, Shelly's mud crab sidekick, have these suggestions:
Learn about oysters: Lots of schools and communities have environmental fairs and other events. Look for ORP at an event in your area. We'll teach you about how oysters are raised in laboratories (to help Mother Nature along) and how they are "taught" to live in the wild. If you visit our "Little Nippers" display, you can practice tonging for oysters like real Maryland watermen.
Recycle oyster shells: If you have friends or families who eat oysters, remind them to recycle those shells. Recycled shells are cleaned and used to make homes for baby oysters. Soon after oysters are born, they look for something to cling to so they can start eating and growing. We clean up old shell for these babies, since there is not enough shell in the Bay anymore. Lots of people and businesses help us recycle shell so we created a special club for them, called the Shell Recycling Alliance or "SRA." Click here to learn more about the SRA and learn where you and your friends can take oyster shells to be recycled.
Spread the word: Encourage your friends and family to take good care of the Bay and all natural resources. Don't pollute the environment and recycle whenever you can.
Test your oyster knowledge: Click here for a Word Game you can print out.
Plan an Oyster Project: Click here to learn about how you and your friends can work with ORP to help oysters.
Pearl Girls
Here's a group of kids that are helping oysters and the Chesapeake Bay. Five 6th graders created a cool video about recycling oyster shells. They visited restaurants to pick up used oyster shells and convince more restaurants to recycle. They decorated buckets for the restaurants to use. And they raised $1,000 for ORP's work to help oysters. They call themselves the "Pearl Girls." Incredible work, ladies. Click here to learn more about them and watch a cool video they mad

[quote] Richard Widmark was beyond evil. [/quote]
Widmark was beyond sexy in that movie, too. He pretty much created the giggling, sociopathic villain in Kiss of Death.
His best performance was in No Way Out where he played a racist redneck opposite Sidney Poitier (his film debut). In fact, Widmark has performed in some of the best film noirs to date: Panic in the Streets, Night and the City, Pickup on South Street, The Street with No Name, No Way Out, Road House, .etc.
I think Widmark's presence in film noir is as strong as Bogart's and Mitchum's .

The 1948 version of "Road House" with Widmark, Ida Lupino, Celeste Holme and Cesare Romero. .. And the 1962 version of "Cape Fear" with Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum. (Polly Bergen was also in it.) .. Didn't care much for the remakes.

Another vote for "Road House": great Lupino performance, featuring her unforgettable rendition of "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)." She was the finest of all the noir actors, IMO--she's also fantastic in "The Hard Way" and "High Sierra."
A few more I love, beyond the most famous (like "Double Indemnity," "The Postman Always Rings Twice," and "Murder My Sweet:
"The Narrow Margin"
"Born to Kill"
"The Red House"
"Niagara" (far and away Marilyn Monroe's best performance, with great color cinematography)

Why does Islam have the concept of jihad or holy war, which some use to justify violence and terrorism?
Islam and Peace
Islam comes from the root word Salaam, which means peace. It also means submitting one's will to Allah (swt). The word Salaam is also an attribute of God. In this context, it means 'The Giver of Peace'.
Muslims greet each other with Assalaamu alaikum which translates to wishing peace for one another. Even […]

Google Analytics gives web site owners good information about what's clicking with visitors to their site, how those users got there, and more. But, attaining that insight can be somewhat laborious for those not well-versed in the tool and its interface, says Nick Cassimatis, associate professor in the Department of Cognitive Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He's the founder of natural language processing technology startup SkyPhrase. His take: Apply SkyPhrase to the task, and things get a lot easier.
The startup in February began private beta testing of its NLP interface to Google Analytics. "Google Analytics lets you ask things like how many people from California visited the site last month, or which of your pages were most visited on mobile devices," says Cassimatis. "Our system lets you ask these questions in natural language and get answers to them" more seamlessly than using Google Analytics alone.
Previous to bringing its NLP help to Google Analytics, SkyPhrase had a public site that let users run natural language searches of their Gmail or Twitter accounts, as well as flights and music.
Its technology, for example, could understand Gmail and Twitter queries missed by Siri, Cassimatis says, such as "emails tagged receipts from Southwest the last three months" or "PDFs John sent with subject 'resume'," as well as "yesterday's tweets about the debate" and "search twitter for pictures of NASA." Flight queries SkyPhrase understands that Google does not included items like "Delta flights from San Francisco to Los Angeles that leave tomorrow and return on Friday," and "next Delta flight out of Chicago to Boston."
"If you could just tell your computer what you wanted to do, that would save time. And that is the goal in natural language understanding," he says. Siri got the ball rolling in a big way around social search. But, he says, there are still drawbacks in most NLP apps, in that they tend to understand simple queries best, and "they are narrow and brittle and expensive to develop." One of the largest software teams at Apple, he notes, is the one working on Siri.
How is SkyPhrase different than other NLP players? "It lets you ask more complicated queries, do more complicated things, understand more complex language with greater precision, and [with a forthcoming API release] it makes it easy for third parties to develop natural language interfaces for new domains," he says. In experiments with the API, he says, people without programming skills were able to put together a natural language interface that exceeds Siri or Facebook search within a couple of weeks.
SkyPhrase was born out of the work done by Cassimatis and his research group at RPI. The team's careful study of linguistics and original artificial intelligence (AI) research led to advances in its AI algorithms that made them more suited towards how it modeled language scientifically, he says. "We did a really good job of developing AI algorithms that were suited for language, whereas a lot of other approaches basically wouldn't be able to make these mutual advances together in linguistics and AI."
As far as the private beta test it's running using SkyPhrase on Google Analytics, progress is good, he says. "It's a very small sample of people but we find they use it more and do more complicated stuff," he says. In the near term, he'd like to find other areas where natural language can help with otherwise complex tasks, such as analytics, as well as enable a developer platform. And longer term? "In several years we want to be this platform for all the world's data and services, that they are being used using natural language. If you have data, a web site or service, you can surface it using natural language and using SkyPhrase," he says. "We want to be the platform people develop for that, and that they access data through."

Discipline among Netball players diminished after homosexual scandals. After losing World Cup disgracefully, homosexual acts take centre stage
During the period of the netball World cup in early July, the manner some players behaved there had been a conflict between the Officials of the Netball team and the Minister of Sports. During the stay in Singapore two members had been caught red handed in engaged in Homosexual acts. This was investigated on their return and after which there had been a clash between the novices and the veteran players.
They have broken all ethics and gone shopping along the streets of Singapore in the nights. It is surprising as no disciplinary, investigations had not been done. After they returned the Manageress of the team had summoned the entire team and warned and told that those found guilty would be punished. This was confirmed to the Sports Minister and the Chairperson of the Interim committee of the Netball Federation.
Although a report had been submitted on the performance of the team in Singapore, but it is very strange that homosexual acts had not been mentioned in it. Before this tournament the netball team toured Scotland. The same two players were again caught red handed indulging in homosexual activities.It is reported that the Chairperson of the Interim Committee of the Netball Federation has brought it to the notice of the Sports Minister about this misbehaviour.
Sri Lanka is ranked 18 among 25 netball playing countries in the world.

Welcome to 2014! May we actually get some real, protected infrastructure this year!
At the end of last year I ruffled some Vehicular Cyclists' feathers by posting this: Avid Cyclists as policy makers are going extinct and they've no one else to blame but themselves (I still stand behind my analysis though I would probably now use the more accurate label of "Vehicular Cyclists" to better reflect the ideology and not just people cycling in car traffic because they have no other choice). Buried in the controversy was my mention of Dr. Monica Campbell, Director of Healthy Public Policy at Toronto Public Health, who had won an award at the 2013 Toronto Bike Awards.
(Photo: TCAT. From left, Dr. Monica Campbell, Nancy Smith Lea of TCAT)
Dr. Campbell is no Lance Armstrong. This is something which Vehicular Cycling seemingly holds as a prerequisite for a transportation planner - as in "If we all just rode at top speed all the time and never made errors then we'll be perfectly safe in car traffic". She is not that kind of expert, but one who knows how to bring science to the transportation planning profession; a profession that has notoriously avoided dealing with most injuries, deaths and health impacts such as obesity and asthma that are a direct result of our car fetish society.
The Toronto Centre for Active Transportation, who presented the award, describes Dr. Campbell's work thusly:
Dr. Campbell has city-wide responsibility for ensuring the development of evidence-informed public policies that best protect the health of Toronto residents. She was selected by a majority vote of the TCAT steering committee for her leadership in demonstrating the link between active transportation and health and for spearheading numerous evidence-based initiatives within Toronto Public Health to improve the safety of cyclists and pedestrians in Toronto.
Under her leadership, Toronto Public Health has been producing reports such as the recent report "Improving Safety for Bicycle Commuters in Toronto" and has become more active in creating safety guidelines for cyclists and pedestrians (something which you'd think would have already been a higher priority for Transportation Services).
Some of the safety items that Public Health is pushing for, for which most cyclists will be pleased to have:
- making construction zones safer for cyclists
- stop using bike lanes for "storage"
- review the "Watch for Bikes" by-law and improve it
- advocate for side guards on trucks (only the feds can implement this but have been dragging their feet for years)
- improve safety of cyclists at intersections
Her work, I think, is a signal that the underbelly of our municipal government is slowly understanding the new reality where fighting obesity and improving the safety and the comfort level of citizens is more important than obsessing about making cars go faster. Thank you Dr. Campbell for helping to make Toronto more equitable, safer, healthier and more fun in 2014.

I sure being a vehicular
I sure being a vehicular cyclist does not mean "... just ride at top speed all the time..."
It means riding with a certain amount of confidence, awareness and skill, attributes that are also necessary to operate a car safely.
What ruffles my feathers is the opinion that bicycle infrastructure is inadequate unless it is made specifically to accomodate those who cannot ride with confidence, awareness and skill. In Toronto's case, it over-complicates the process of adding bike lanes by bogging it down with studies and committees.
Just paint some white lines and be done with it.

There have been instants, especially in the U.S., where environmental assessments were used to delay and prolong the implementation of bike paths and/or lanes.

In an interview with CNN, Weird Al talked about how his writing process has changed since those ol' days of cassette tapes. "The internet is the new MTV. I'm basically marketing to the online audience. I used to think about, what would the MTV executives like? Now it's basically, what do I like, what do my fans like?"
It's not really a new observation, this "the internet is the new MTV." Pretty much a well-established reality at this point, but no matter, I can get behind that. Straight to the fans, Weird Al. Like an arrow to the heart, as a certain songstress might say.
Yankovic's new video for "Word Crimes" is amazing. It is his hilarious, brilliant tirade, to the tune of "Blurred Lines," against those who butcher the English language with poor grammar and punctuation. We're on the same page about the brilliance, right? I've seen you all get fired up in the comments over misplaced commas and the like. We're of the same mind, you readers and myself. (Ha! Just messing with you their. Ha! Did it again. Okay, I'll stop now.)
You've probably seen it because, at press time, it already had 6.2 million views on YouTube. In case you missed it:
The fact that "Word Crimes" is so good — arguably the best Weird Al song ever, though I'm not a connoisseur — does make the case for eliminating the middle man between artist and audience in cases like Weird Al's. Listener empowerment is the order of the day. Weird Al could probably have made whatever song he wanted, even if he involved all the executives in all the land, but it's interesting to hear him say that the absence of any suits influenced his thinking and freed him up to make the music he thought his fans would love. Maybe we'll get more meaningful, exciting and quality work when gutsy musicians are removed from an apparatus that has "executives" involved.
Not that all musicians should be throwing the executives out with, you know, the executives water. Weird Al is an exceptional case, as musicians go: he's been releasing music since the 1980s, has sold over 12 million albums, and is already famous enough that his parodies get parodied.
And of course, he's dealing with songs that are already immensely popular, transforming an existing hit into yet another hit. The man doesn't have to start from scratch, financially, musically, or otherwise. For a new artist who still likely sees YouTube as a springboard to a real record deal and not an alternative to one, there is no answer to "what do my fans like?" because there aren't any fans yet. But for Weird Al, it works.

Day Three Begins At United Bamboo
As is typical of shows at the Altman Building, and with United Bamboo in particular, things are pretty low-key this morning. Rather than keeping invitees standing in a line that wraps around the corner (like last night at Rag & Bone, Robert Geller, etc...) people are sort of aimlessly wandering in, coffees in hand. A great way to start the day if you ask us. Stay tuned for our runway gallery from the Fall 2009 United Bamboo show which we hear will include Deka Ray jewelry and Falke hosiery--very important details indeed. After that, Karen Walker, Adam Lippes, VPL, and much, much more.

A priest accused of having sexual conversations with teenage boys has been excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix for starting his own ministry.
The diocese announced Monday that Monsignor Dale Fushek and another Catholic priest who helped open the ministry are now prohibited from receiving church sacraments.
Fushek was the second highest-ranking administrator in the diocese. He is awaiting trial on charges including assault and indecent exposure over conversations from the 1980s and '90s.
He had been placed on paid leave, but his salary was cut off after Fushek started the ministry in defiance of the bishop's orders.
A message left for Fushek wasn't returned Monday.

Club Calpella matching night's monetary donations, dollar for dollar.
Ukiah Daily Journal
Locals will have a chance to catch some great live music by the "Twin Cobras" while supporting the Ukiah Food Bank during the Rock for Food event at the Club Calpella this Thursday from 8 p.m. to midnight.
Matching dollar for dollar donations for the night, the Club will also be accepting non-perishable food donations in lieu of a cover charge.
Previously of the band Hookahstew, Johnny Young and Mike Masters have embarked on a new musical venture, Twin Cobras.
Johnny describes their sound as "stripped-down blues," adding, "if you dig the Black Keys or the White Stripes ... it's a two piece band, but there's a lot of music coming out."
After 20 years of constant touring, it was decided the name Hookahstew would be retired, in preference of new musical adventures.
"We all wanted to spread our wings and pursue other things. Plus, you can't have a reunion tour unless you break up first," joked Johnny. The third member and bass player of Hookahstew, Kirk Fortin got an offer in Vegas, and according to Johnny, "we figured it was a great time."
Supporting food bank efforts is a cause near and dear to Johnny's heart. Through hard times his father raised he and his brother with the help of community meals.
"As a kid I relied on food banks after my parents split. I've eaten my share of government cheese and powdered milk," reflected Johnny. I don't think anyone in this country should be hungry. It's ridiculous."
As a result of his experiences growing up, Johnny says he's been producing the Rock for Food fundraiser "up and down the coast for several years."
Having become a Mendocino County resident, Johnny says he approached the Club Calpella about the event because, "They're really proactive in the community," adding, that owners, Steve & Tammy Bogart, as well as their staff are very accommodating and a lot of fun.
"We'll play a few sets, enlighten folks on what the food bank does, but anything can happen," laughed Johnny, "anyone can walk through the door."
The Club Calpella is located at 6175 North State St., in downtown Calpella. They can be reached at 485-8630.

I bought this bottle from the Object Gallery here in Sydney in 2009. When I bought it I could not take it home straight away because it had been booked into a photo session with Australian Vogue magazine.
The bottle is signed by Ben Edols '09 on the base. I think the Italians would call it 'vetro a canne di zanfirico alternate'.
Ben Edols is part of a well known Australian glass partnership: Edols & Elliott. They have been working in partnership since their first joint exhibition at the de Vera Gallery, San Francisco in 1993.
But in 2009 Ben Edols started to produce a series of pieces that showcase his abilities as a glass-blower and reflect his interest in the techniques of the Murano masters. He combines striking colours in objects that are both decorative and functional. His attention to detail results in the finest glass pieces.
"Benjamin Edols has been blowing glass since 1987. He received his BA from Sydney College of the Arts and went on to successfully complete a postgraduate diploma at Canberra School of Art in 1992. Since that time Ben has travelled to work alongside colleagues in America, Italy and Japan. Ben has given glassblowing workshops at Pilchuck Glass School, The Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass, Toyama Institute of Glass Art, Niijima Glass Centre, The Jam Factory and Sydney College of the Arts."
"This series of work revolves around a technique called cane work. Cane working is an intricate technique using thin rods of coloured glass. Ben groups these rods together and rolls them up on the end of a glass blowing pipe. He then melts them together and manipulates the hot glass to achieve coloured stripes through the vessel. This is a technique used by the original masters of glass, the Venetains. Ben is greatly influenced by these amazingingly complex glass blowing techniques. He is considered to have mastered them and is regarded as one of Australia's most skilled glass blowers."

Like a fairy-tale curse, poor money skills can screw up your kids, their kids and their kids' kids.
Good money habits, on the other hand, can insulate kids from making major mistakes later in life and will positively impact their quality of life as adults.
To raise money-smart kids, parents should start at a young age and regularly reinforce money lessons as children grow up.
Unfortunately not all parents consciously try to foster money skills in their offspring. A recent survey by TrueCredit.com found that about 20 percent of parents, nearly one in five, had never spoken with their kids between the ages of 4 and 18 about money basics.
Unlike a birds-and-bees talk or don't-do-drugs speech, money skills must be taught to kids, experienced hands-on and consistently modeled by parents.
The alternative could cost kids a fortune -- literally!
Children must learn these four important lessons before they flee the nest to go to college or into the real world.
It is hoped you started your children's training early because the foundation of successful personal finance -- everything from mortgages to investing -- hinges on budgeting.
Luckily, it's very easy to train little kids to budget. It has to start with money, and that means putting cash in kids' hands.
The best way to do that is with an allowance. According to Neale Godfrey, founder of the Children's Financial Network and author of "Money Doesn't Grow on Trees: A Parent's Guide to Raising Financially Responsible Children," allowances serve two purposes: They teach kids to work for money and they can be used to introduce -- and enforce -- good budgeting habits.
"I start when they are age 3, when they start saying, 'I want, I want,'" she says.
Godfrey recommends paying the child's age in dollars per week.
"So a 3-year-old gets $3 a week, a 10-year old gets $10," she says.
Some experts recommend half that amount, but it's really whatever parents feel comfortable with and then you can adjust as you go.
When teaching kids about money and budgeting, parents should implement a tiered system, with savings for charity, spending and long-term goals, say most experts.
Lori Mackey, author of "Money Mama and the Three Little Pigs" and founder of Prosperity4Kids, uses a 10-10-10-70 system for teaching kids to budget.
"When your child gets their first dollar, we suggest that you teach them to save 10 percent, invest 10 percent, give 10 percent and live from 70 percent. When you give them a dollar, you give them two quarters and five dimes and then you sit with them and say this dime is for something that is important to you or that you want to help," she says.
"And they will automatically tell you it's going to be animals or nature or maybe they have a family member that's gone through some type of an illness so you can help them understand what giving back means with 10 cents out of a dollar," says Mackey.
Parents should briefly explain saving for the future and investing while putting those dimes aside.
"And then you give them 70 cents and that's what they're able to spend. So from the first dollar they ever get they will learn not to live paycheck to paycheck and spend 100 percent of their money," she says.
There are other methods or systems for budgeting training wheels. For instance, Greg Karp, author of "The 1-2-3 Money Plan: The Three Most Important Steps to Saving and Spending Smart," recommends breaking money down into three components.
"I give my kid three Tupperware-type containers. One is labeled 'save' and one is labeled 'spend' and one is labeled 'give.' Every week I started them off with $5 -- $2 would go in spend, $2 would go in save and $1 would go in give and the $1 would be the one they take with them to church on Sunday, for example," he says.
Godfrey recommends a similar system, this one involving four buckets.
"Ten percent comes off the top for charity, to get them involved in the idea of giving at a young age," she says.
"The remaining 90 percent is divided into thirds. There is the cash jar for instant gratification. They worked hard, you want them to be able to spend some of their money, and then you're teaching them to make choices, but you set the overall parameters, like no candy or gum or automatic weapons," Godfrey says.

The 2012 outlook for construction materials shipments, highway and bridge construction, and residential construction remain flat with no significant growth expected until 2014. This is obviously disappointing for all in the industry; however, it appears to be an opinion shared by most producers.
According to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association, the highway and bridge construction market is expected to contract by 6 percent, to $72.6 billion in 2012, from an estimated $77 billion in 2011. The Portland Cement Association has revised its forecast for cement consumption to increases of 1.1 percent for 2011, 0.05 percent for 2012, and 7.4 percent for 2013, which is approximately half of its previous forecast. McGraw-Hill, in its 2012 Dodge Construction Outlook, is predicting that overall U.S. construction starts for 2012 will be flat.
The main factors driving the decline in highway and bridge construction include the winding down of infrastructure investment under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), continued weak growth in the U.S. economy, state and local budget deficits, and a federal highway program that has not been reauthorized since September of 2009. The residential homebuilding sector is expected to remain flat or experience modest gains due to huge levels of unsold new homes, lack of jobs, and concerns about further declines in home values.
Deal activity in the construction industry will follow this trend and not show any significant increase until the outlook improves.
Recent transactions and activity
Oldcastle Materials, Inc. acquired the assets of Powers Stone, Inc. in Susquehanna County, Pa. The company consists of three aggregate quarries and expands Oldcastle's presence in a market that is benefiting from growth associated with the natural gas development from Marcellus shale formations.
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. made a hostile offer in December to acquire Vulcan Materials Co. for $4.8 billion in stock. Including the assumption of Vulcan's $2.7 billion in net debt, the deal is worth $7.5 billion. The deal is priced at 24 times EBITDA based on Vulcan's EBITDA of about $306 million in the past 12 months. According to Martin Marietta, the deal would save up to $250 million in costs from bulk purchases and duplicative operations leaving the deal closer to 13.5 times adjusted EBITDA. Prior to the deal announcement, Vulcan's market value had fallen 63 percent from its peak of almost $11.8 billion in 2007. The Board of Vulcan Materials has unanimously rejected the offer.

URCHFONT completed their first home match of the season and maintained their pursuit of Division One leaders Wootton Bassett with a six-wicket victory over Bradford on Avon.
Having put Bradford in a tight opening spell of bowling by Morlon Simon (12-5-15-2) and Keith Bills (12-2-31-4) and brilliant fielding allowed Urchfont to capitalise on early chances.
Captain Patrick Bromley led from the front with a spectacular catch in the deep at full stretch.
Bradford made a recovery in the form of Matt Harrington (33), but they were out for 106 in 42 overs.
After a good start Urchfont lost three quick wickets as Tony Laws led the attack for Bradford with figures of 9-1-38-3.
Toby Dorgan (35 not out) and Ben Hodder (25 not out ) brought stability to the innings and earned Urchfont the victory in the 20th over.
Skipper Bromley said: "We bowled and fielded exceptionally, taking all of our catches.
"This year we have a very athletic outfit and we feel our bowling and fielding is the best it's ever been.
"I would like to praise Toby Dorgan and Ben Hodder for their composed innings to see us home. They are a great pair to have in the middle order.''
Rich Foley scored an unbeaten 36 and took 3-23 as Box secured a 17-run victory over Swindon Civil Service.
Foley's knock and 58 from Steve Hall saw the villagers to 172-8 from their 45 overs.
Service's innings ended at 155 in the 41st over, despite Dave Batchelor's 40.
Dave Crawford took 6-36 for Box.
Beanacre & Melksham restricted Swindon Nalgo to 135 all out, despite dropping five catches. Jack Footner (3-11), Steve Rendell (3-31), Dean Wallington (2-28) did the damage.
Beanacre had the score racing along until Matt Hunt departed for 19.
Another quick wicket fell before Paul Gilbert (38), Steve Rendell (49 not out) and Gary Burns (25 not out) saw the visitors to a seven-wicket victory with 10 overs to spare.
Sam Lawro scored another century as Wootton Bassett beat Hinton Charterhouse by 106 runs to stay top, but Harvey Cummins' cameo at the top of the order caught the eye of captain Darren Beasant.
Cummins spanked a quickfire 59 to get Bassett into the groove early at Rylands Way, before Lawro (101 not out) – dropped at slip without scoring third ball – anchored the innings as the hosts reached 239-8 from their 45 overs.
Beasant said: "Harv had been struggling most of the year, managed to get 20 or 30 at Malmesbury, seems to have a smile back on his face and did what he does best.
"He went out and bombarded a few of the houses on Rylands Way. If you bowl him a half-volley he blocks it, but if you bowl him a length ball he whacks it 80 yards back over your head.
"He went out and got us 50 or 60 in the way only Harvey can and got us off to a flyer and we went quite hard from there."
Tidy bowling from Lee Stevens and Ian Lancaster, who shared seven Charter-house wickets for 61, helped reduce the visitors to 133 all out.
Malmesbury maintained the pressure on the leaders with an 81-run success over Collingbourne.
James Gillespie fired an unbeaten 104 – his maiden Malmesbury century – to help his side to 260-5 off 45 overs.
Josh Langley then took 6-40 as Collingbourne were dismissed for 179, despite Craig Watts scoring 61.

However, 4-23 from Nanthakumar Thevasutan, plus Robb's 4-8 from 3.5 overs left them sweating before they got home in the 33rd over.
Steve Copland was on form with bat and ball as Lacock claimed their opening win of the campaign by 54 runs against Spye Park.
Copland and Chay Forrester scored 39 in Lacock's 164-7, as John Beal took 3-12 and George May 3-55.

In reply, Beanacre suffered the early loss of Tom White, but Wiltshire and Steve Day rebuilt the innings.
Wiltshire departed for 38, leaving Day and Joe Lewis to complete the victory with a boundary to finish on 77-2 after 17.3 overs.

"The libraries have received a lot of positive feedback, especially from younger people now visiting the libraries. We hope that providing free wireless internet will encourage more people to visit the wonderful library facilities on offer throughout the City," she said.
The trial at five of the City's busiest libraries found library users were enthusiastic about taking advantage of the hassle free, and wire free, internet.
The rollout of free wi-fi, which has a range of up to 25 square metres, will mean library visitors bringing their own laptops into library areas will be able to access free, high speed internet. Local residents, business people and visitors to the City will be able to utilise the service for a variety of purposes.
This is on top of the internet access available throughout the library's existing network of desktop computers.

ANKARA: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday his government was determined to settle the three-decade Kurdish conflict and would guarantee safe passage for rebels wishing to leave the country.
"If you are sincere and honest, you lay down your arms," Erdogan told his ruling party lawmakers in parliament, referring to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
"If you don't want to live in this country, you are free to go to any country you like. We assure you that ... we'll do our best not to let what happened at our borders before happen again," he said.
Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran all have Kurdish minorities in regions straddling their common borders.
In the past there have been clashes between Turkey's security forces and the PKK as they were leaving the country for northern Iraq where the group enjoys safe haven.
Ankara has acknowledged that a fresh round of talks was being held between Turkey's secret services and the jailed Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan with the ultimate aim of disarming the rebels.
Turkish media have speculated that the nascent talks have produced a roadmap to end the long-running insurgency in Turkey, which has claimed 45,000 lives, mostly Kurdish. But the reported roadmap has not been confirmed by either party.
Erdogan's remarks came as six PKK rebels, including two women, were killed in clashes with Turkish security forces near the Syrian border, a security source said.
The conflict erupted in the village of Dogancay in the southeast some 50 kilometres (30 miles) from the Syrian border and was continuing, the source added.
Erdogan said his government wanted peace but would not make concessions on fighting against "terrorists".
"We have opened our hearts to our Kurdish brothers. We did not drop bombs on them. We are dropping bombs on terrorists," Erdogan said.
"Today and tomorrow our fight against terrorists will persevere. There is no concession there."
The PKK, which took up arms for autonomy in the Kurdish majority southeast in 1984, is branded as a terrorist group by much of the international community in addition to Turkey.

Hotel met my expectations as far as a place to sleep. Stayed here after a concert. Left my very favorite pair of house slippers given to me as a gift ( cute, unusual dog slippers). Wore them the morning of my departure, realized I had not packed them. Called immediately and was told to call back the next day. I did and was told I had not left them. I assured them I did, told them where they were, and again was told no one saw them. Told to talk to a manager. She told me she would look, talk to staff and call me back. She never did. I called backed the next day and was told by the manager that she could guarantee me that no one on her staff would keep my shoes. Not sure how they got out of that room, but I can assure you they were there. I did not get to my room until 11;45 pm and left by nine the next morning. I, nor anyone in my party has them. Would not stay in this hotel again.

The room (actually it was a full suite) was beautiful, comfortable and very spacious. The pool was gorgeous. We loved that the room was a pool side room. The free breakfast that was not some cheap little buffet of pre-packaged donuts and muffins; it was a full breakfast cooked just for us.

DUNEDIN — Stephen Beney has a bad heart, but as the sun beat down Monday he shoveled dirt into bags at Dunedin's free sandbag site.
He and his wife, Ann, both 78, already had tucked away their lighted artificial palm trees and flamingo statues, including the one that lights up at night.
As a final precaution, they thought they'd get some sandbags to barricade their garage and back door.
The couple moved to Dunedin 20 years ago from Ohio, where she worked as a telephone operator and he walked a mail route.
They didn't seem scared by Fay.
"We'll just take what comes and hope for the best," Ann Beney said.
Judy Blackwood of Clearwater decided to fill a few bags after picking up her daughter Marisa, 13, at the nearby Dunedin Fine Arts Center.
"We were laughing because they call them sandbags, but they are really dirt bags," Blackwood said.
She planned to pile the bags around her lanai. That will make the Blackwoods really prepared. They installed hurricane doors on the garage and hurricane film on their windows. They have plywood in reserve for big storms. A generator, too.
"It does help settle the nerves when you think you've done as much as you think you can," she said.

I remember Mattias Fredrickson's
Team Scanada Deep Summer show
like it was yesterday. I went home inspired and a new dream was born. I'd just started to ride and shoot bikes that summer, it looked like so much fun and Crankworx was already my favourite part of the year.
Looking back at my first images, I had no idea what I was doing. Not knowing the sport, I had no clue how to take a good biking shot. Despite my crappy shots I felt excited any time my camera and bikes got involved. As the years passed, I recalled
Jordan's Manley's winning show
. I didn't sleep that night, thinking to myself 'one day...'
Fast forward another year, and I watched
Robin O'Neill
take a win. All the shows were amazing and I knew, I was ready.
The desire to be part of this amazing event was so strong, I wanted it so bad. I had numerous sleepless nights last winter. For some reason my brain thought the best time to think about it was between 2am - 5am. Fun times!
It was time to submit my work and wait. The first reply was "Thank-you, but we have already sent out the invitations." A little disappointed, but definitely relieved, I felt I'd done everything I could to get in... that was, until the end of May.
An email appeared in my inbox, while I visited my family back in Europe, asking if I am still interested to participate. One of the photographers wasn't able to make it and they offered the spot it to me. Oh, man. Shit just got real!
I'd keep reading the email over and over, not really believing it, pacing around my room talking to myself, "breathe, breathe. Oh, shit! I am in! I am in! Oh shit! OK, I can do this."
The two weeks in Europe were a blur, trying to chill out with my family and friends while desperate to get back to Whistler, it took almost a month before I could share the news. The toughest secret I've ever kept for sure.
Finally, the photographers were announced. I can't believe that I am competing against photographers like Scott Markowitz, Reuben Krabbe, and Ian Hylands. I didn't know much about Jon Hayward at that time and wildcard winner Mike Zinger hadn't been announced. Checking Scott's and Reuben's websites didn't help at all. By now, I was in full panic mode. Time to refocus, time to think about the riders and the theme. Thinking about it, I could possibly work with some of my favourite riders. How rad would it be to have Cam McCaul, Matt Hunter, or Thomas Vanderham on my team? Pretty cool, as I imagined bossing Hunter around. There were a few themes in my head, but one of them kept surfacing more than the others. More and more I thought about "Generations" I knew it was the keeper. I said goodbye to Hunter, McCaul, and Vanderham and start focusing on reality.
The idea of Generations came from my own experience. I noticed that people I ride with are not necessarily my age. Thanks to biking I started to ride with guys almost 20 years younger or older. There is no generation gap. We share the same passion for riding no matter how old we are, no matter what age you are, we bike for the same reason. I just needed a team to tell my story.
My first rider was Fiona, we met less than two months before the competition during a mountain bike camp. She was the sweep in my group and we ended up chatting most of the day. I couldn't believe her abilities on the bike. Late in her 50's, she only started to ride DH four years ago. It's never too late. She is smart, funny and a very successful business woman - an inspiration to many of us.
The next one was Steve, a rider in his early 30's and possibly the nicest guy out there. We'd done a couple of shoots earlier in the year and I instantly knew he'd be one of my riders. He would come to our meeting with written notes about his suggested shooting locations, he would show up injured and during the nastiest weather conditions for a seven hour shoot just to help me to finish an assignment. I knew I could trust him and he would be an asset when it came to scouting.
Through Steve I met Ollie, a 20-year-old kid with a crazy British accent. When I think of Ollie, I think roost. That kid can roost anything and all the time.
Finn, the 9-year-old local ripper has been in my mind for a while. I've seen the videos of him and was stoked to get him on the team. I wanted a shot of Ollie showing him a feature that he'd never done and the drop he did in the show was his first time. It was cool to watch these two guys talking about it and checking it out and to see the smile on his face once he did it. The whole team was stoked. It wasn't just about the photos. Something that I believed in was actually happening in front of my eyes.
The toughest part was to choose somebody in their 70's. There's no shortage of great riders that age in Whistler, but I was looking for a great personality. Someone who would gel with the team and work well with Finn and younger guys. Tom Thomson was that man. We all had such a great time while shooting his segment, he had unbelievable stories to tell; so much so, that we almost missed the Top of the World trail on our last day as we had such a hard time leaving his home and art studio.
The team would not be complete without Mike Gamble and Ben Shaw, both from SheGNARnigans, helping me through the days. Gamby had done an outstanding job with editing and putting the slideshow together. Considering he didn't sleep for almost a week, he was still editing the video for GoPro Dirt Diaries during the first day of Deep Summer. With nine hours of sleep in four days, this was the best week of my life.
I met people that became close friends and I lived my dream. To top it off, two of our riders got podium finishes and our SheGNARnigans team won 2nd place with our Dirt Diaries video. I can't even describe how I felt when my name was announced to get 3rd place for my show. Everything at that moment became a blur, but the thing I remember the most is the loud cheer from the audience. I will never forget that. Local support from friends is amazing and I am so proud to be part of this community.

You might ask what I am up to these days. The snow is melting and we are slowly getting the bikes out. A few shoots are planned before a big trip to an exotic location with SheGNARnigans happens this spring. We have less than a month left of planning and sorting out any final details about the trip.

"For the past several years through the Fresh Food Initiative, clients of CKP have been given access to free raised (plant) beds and farmland, seeds, tools and technical assistance in gardening and marketing produce throughout the community.
Their new garden is at 2305 Slataper St. next to McCormick Place. They have two fenced acres with water, a hoop house and storage. Over the fall they built 36 raised beds and sold Community Supported Agriculture shares in which subscribers get shares of produce. Now they have 36 little farms, and clients were able to choose among 36 different varieties of plants. Four of these plots were bought by nonprofits; St Mary's Soup Kitchen, Miss Virginia's Mission House, Redemption House Ministries and Wellspring Interfaith Social Services.
Holly Chaille, director of CKP, said they have allocated extra space for these nonprofits in a big bed used for overflow.
"Redemption House had their clients come out and work in the garden, a little sweat equity." Chaille said.
In addition to working with their immigrant clients CKP has added a new program called the new farm management-training program. The refugee participants are paid interns who will complete nine training modules including financial literacy, crop management, business management sales and marketing and grow it forward.
In "grow it forward" the trainees will have to go into the community and teach a nonprofit how to set up a garden. In the farm management program they must speak English only. Chaille said over the years they have found that the practical application of speaking English to others seems to stick better than things they learn in a traditional classroom.
"It's a really neat angle on integration because they are working with yet another marginalized part of the population, which when you bring groups like together you are integrating them into the common fold," Chaille said.
This Saturday, from 10 a.m. to noon CKP will hold a drop-and-swap at the farm, 2305 Slataper. People who have extra shovels, gardening tools, trowels, shears and stakes or hoses can drop them off and swap them for a packet of vegetable, herb or flower seeds. They will also be planting fruit trees; Arbor Day is Friday.

Wald to dress up new Toyota 86
In this package
- Wald to dress up new Toyota 86
- $entry.content.articleTitle
Wald International is a Japanese tuning company usually catering to ultra-high horsepower machines, or to the Bippu movement prominent in Japan.
Bippu, of course, is the VIP style of modifying saloon cars by slamming them down onto the ground, dialing in absurd angles of negative camber and slapping on huge chrome rims.
But besides Lexus, Infiniti and Honda, Wald International will also sell you bodykits for your Rolls-Royce, Bentley, or Aston Martin, for example. Even minivans don't go unnoticed…
But up until now, the new Toyota 86 has gone unnoticed, because Wald has, just this week, released its plans to dress the little sportscar up to the tees.
Keep in mind that the tuning programme hasn't been given the green light yet, as
these are just preview images, but the plans are substantial.
Whether you call it a Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, or Toyota 86, Wald's kit for the Toyobaru follows the JDM school of thought with a much more aggressive snow-plough front apron and a bigger mesh-grille intake set in the bumper, plus new side skirts, fender vents, rear spoiler, and an integrated rear diffuser flanked by a quad-tip exhaust system.

It may be unsporting, even politically incorrect, to say this – but a larger cause might be served if India do not win the Champions Trophy. This is not fair on the captain and players who have performed superbly so far. India are the best team in the tournament. Yet, an on-field victory might be reflected in one off-field if it saves the necks of those who have dragged the fair name of the game through mud in recent weeks. The spot-fixers, the bettors, and indeed the BCCI itself. All will be forgiven, and perhaps forgotten. Can we afford that?
That a massive clean up operation is called for in the administration of the game in the country and the way the IPL, for one, is run is hardly news any more. In fact, the focus has already shifted away from the shenanigans of the BCCI, team owners and the players who are allegedly involved in the fixing racket. This was bound to happen; public memory is short, the memory of those responsible for the mess is conveniently short too, and nothing trumps an internal scandal like an international victory.
While victory in the Champions Trophy (this might sound presumptuous, with India yet to play their semifinal match, but that doesn't change the argument) would be seen as a breath of fresh air in the foul-smelling cricketing establishment in the country, we might end up paying too high a price for it.
On the positive side a win would be endorsement of India's status as the No. 1 side in the world, and more importantly, the confirmation that in one-day cricket at least, the transition is both complete and successful. A new pair of opening batsmen, a strong middle-order, a bowling attack that is steadily coming to grips with requirements and above all an energetic fielding outfit – this is the team that has emerged from the ashes of some recent embarrassments. With the World Cup two years away, the defending champions are beginning to look like the favourites already. This is heady stuff.
But can victory be the great forgiver of all sins, the final arbiter in the struggle for the game's soul in the country? The choice need not be starkly in black and white, of course. In the ideal world, India would win the Champions Trophy and cricket at home would get the cleansing it deserves. And there is no reason to imagine these two events are mutually exclusive. Yet, for the authorities, there is much to be gained by sweeping everything under the carpet; and a victorious national team provides the ideal excuse to do so. Why rock the boat when everything is so palpably fine?
Conflict of interest? What's that? And why is it such a big deal? Betting? Ah well, boys will be boys. As for spot fixing, it is so difficult to prove anything that it is futile to spend time and effort in pursuit of that bogey. Only the joyless will pursue uncomfortable truths – victory is the great justification for everything, the final validation. The school of thought which believes all this will grow stronger should India win the title (which will be theirs in perpetuity since this is the last edition of the tournament).
A loss might be the price the players and the fans will have to pay to ensure that the focus remains on the ills of the game in the country. At stake is the credibility of the game itself, and by winning Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men will throw a lifeline to the racketeers in the cricketing fraternity who have been using the sport to further their own, selfish, often illegal ends. Even the promised inquiry against Dhoni and his conflict of interest as captain of India and possible stakeholder in a player management company will run out of steam. When Caesar returns triumphantly from a campaign abroad, they tend to offer him a crown, not a parking ticket for his chariot.
Perhaps I am overstating it. The tournament will take its course, and the law too will take its own course. In a mature society, the one ought not to affect the other. But…

This is my Captain's USN M-1 WW2 helmet. As was a normal way of preserving items around saltwater in the 40's-60's, the helmet was overpainted in shellac, postwar.
This German SS M42 WW2 relic was found by a highway crew in Russia.
I do not know the origin of the helmet painted red. I think it may be a USN Safety Officer helmet from a ship board fire detail (USN helmets and ID markings vary from ship to ship, ask any Navy vet). The yellow in "SO" is typical of ship primer coat. USN helmets were painted and marked with whatever paint was available on the ship. Some USN helmets are obviously done in haste and tend to be "sloppy" rather than neat.
The last helmet is a WW2 U.S., M-1, front seam, swivel bale with a "salty" WW2 Marine cover.
