In 2003, Booklist Books for Youth Senior Editor Ilene Cooper's Jack: The Early Years of John F. Kennedy was published by Penguin's Dutton imprint to critical acclaim. In fact, it was included on the independent booksellers' list of top JFK books of all time (adult and youth). This year, as the fiftieth anniversary of the Kennedy assassination approaches, Puffin is publishing a new paperback edition of Jack to appeal to a new generation of readers. Below, Ilene talks about the return of Jack.
I know that seeing Jack in paperback has been a dream of yours. How does it feel now that it's happened?
Cooper: I'm so excited! With all the books about JFK out there, this is the only one that takes a detailed look at his formative years and describes the family dynamics and other influences that made him the man he became.
Why did you decide to cover only this time period?
Cooper: Well, having been something of a Kennedyphile from the time I was a kid, I knew there was an interesting story there. Jack was a sickly boy in a healthy family. His illnesses gave him time to become a reader and the space to be an observer, rather than just a participant in the family dynamics. I wanted to tell the fascinating story of mischievous Jack and his contentious relationship with his older brother, Joe, the family's golden boy. This relationship, and his father's influence, defined Jack's early life.
You've had 10 years to test this book with children. How have they responded?
Cooper: I have to say they're fascinated. When I visit schools, I show pictures of the Kennedy family, and the kids are intrigued—first to see these nine siblings, because so few people have families that large anymore. Then, they are caught up in the saga of Jack and Joe, because what child doesn't relate to a story of sibling rivalry? And when I talk about what Jack was like as a boy and a teen, they always express surprise that someone who seemed like such an unlikely person to make a name for himself actually became president.
You've mentioned showing pictures of the Kennedys. Were they easy to find?
Cooper: I did research at the Kennedy Library in Boston, which I have to say was one of the highlights of my writing career. Even 10 years ago, most of the visuals from his career were digitized, but the old family photos were just in a box. I felt like I was discovering treasure. Since I was focusing on just JFK's boyhood, I was able to use many more childhood pictures than I would have if I'd been doing a full biography, and some of these had never been published. Senator Ted Kennedy sent me a letter after he received the book that said that he'd enjoyed "seeing so many photos I hadn't seen in such a long time."
The paperback edition is a bit different from the hardcover, isn't it?
Cooper: Yes, it has a lighter look. As my Puffin editor Dana Bergman told me, the aim was to edit the book in such a way that the text and visuals were balanced equally and complemented each other, "like a museum in book form." Puffin reformatted the interior to place even more focus on Jack and his upbringing. Dana said that Jack is near and dear to their hearts, and that's why I'm so excited, because it is to mine as well. I'm so lucky it's getting new life, especially at a time when the Common Core State Standards have brought nonfiction to center stage.

Massage >Massage Heights-River Oaks
2055 Westheimer, Houston, TX | Directions 7709829.742651 -95.410053
M-F 9am-9pm, Sa 9am-7pm, Su 10am-6pm
Neighborhoods: Central, Neartown/ Montrose
Buyer Beware! I was a member for a year and massages for the most part were good with a few bad ones in there but my biggest complaint is trying to get out of your contract. Read every word carefully because they will make it very hard to get out of it. I was told I had to cancel it 30 days in advance and use all my massages before my next billing, which I did. I called to cancel before my next billing and was told no problem, she would mark my account and then when I had my last massage by the month end just sign the paperwork, which I did. I even asked if I was all done and I wouldn't be charged again and she assured me I was all done, no more monthly charges. But noooooooooooo- a charge appeared a month later so I called and spoke to the manager, I even had names of who I had spoken to. He said he would look into it and get back to me but he wasn't nice about it or apologetic. Still no response from him and the charge is still on my credit card. I will tell everyone I know not to go to Massage Heights, I feel ripped off!!! I will also be letting the BBB know.
great service – This was my first massage at massage heights vintage park and it was amazing.....!!!! cynthia was my therapist and she was so great. She made me feel very comfortable aand relaxed. If you get massages i highly recommend you to have cynthia be your therapist. If you have not gotten a massage i recommend you trying one....it is so great to relieve stress...my back was so tense and tight from stress and after that first massage i could tell the difference. with me stress takes a toll on my body, so, this is the perfect thing...i have my next appointment already scheduled...!!! (thank-you cynthia!)
Horrible – Front Desk Staff - Helpful
I was assigned a lady therapist. The massage was Ok for the first 40 or so minutes, but when she rolled me over on my back, she made several sexual advances on me. She was "accidently" brush my private areas and waited to see if I would respond. After several embarrassing and awkward attempts, she asked me, "Do you not want this to be a part of your massage?" I WAS FLOORED! I had no idea this behavior existed at a franchise chain such as this one. Needless to say, I left in a hurry and never returned.
I assume if you are a male in your early 20's and single, this may be just the spot for you.
worst massage ever – The laddy that massaged me was terrible late, coming eating something ( I can hear her chewing some smelly food)
I ask for deep tissue massage, she was bulky to start with, but I can see and hear her foot against the wall to push her elbow against my bones ( yes bones forget the muscles) . I felt like a fire starter, was painful
When I asked her to slow down, she said "that is deep tissue honey"
Terrible pain for a week not from my muscles, that were still hurting, from her rough massage.
I put ONE start in case they trigger 5 stars if I do not check any., NO STARS at all
BAD SERVICE, BAD EXPERIANCE – You may think $39 is cheap for a massage BUT horrible service! Their reception desk doesn't know anything and tell you incorrect info. Do not get their membership because they simply do not know how to take care of their customers. They do not call to remind you of your appointments and do not care that your membership ends enough to tell you. Read the complete contract before signing. Also a very sterile environment, feel like i am at a doctors office rather than a spa. I have got many massages and been to way better spas in Houston. Now I know I rather fork the $100 for good quality service then this place. Go else where!
Long time Happy Member! – I have been a long time member at the River Oaks location. Great new management, always make me feel like I matter. Warm, friendly atmosphere always smells so good, clean restrooms. I go twice a month, sometimes once a week! Referred alot of my friends. Very pleased!
Great Massage – Been looking for a great massage. A friend recommended patrick at massage heights and it was one of the best I have ever had. Can't wait to go back.
Think twice before signing up for a membership – Think twice before signing a contract with any Houston Massage Heights. I have had great massages there but unfortunately in the end, the hassle trying to communicate with the office staff (not massage therapists) has been a true nightmare. I fulfilled my one year membership, notified them at the end that I would not be renewing and gave my 30 day cancellation notice. However, that was over 45 days ago, and low and behold, I got membership dues deducted again from my bank account. After numerous attempts to get Andrea, the assistant Manager, to reply to my emails I contacted the Area Developer because I was getting nowhere. I'm still not getting acceptable communication from the River Oaks management (either none at all or what little I've had has been nothing but one excuse or lie after another) and I still do not have a refund on the membership dues that were charged to my bank account by mistake (they have acknowledged it was a mistake on their part, but claim it was due to a "programming error" in the cancellation system). After they've assured me they've put the credit through to my account (on March 17th and it's now March 25th), I still cannot get anyone to send me a copy of the refund receipt to my bank account nor are the funds back in my account. For a company that promotes relaxation, they sure have given me lots of stress and frustration!
Not impress – I showed up early for my massage appointment and found out I had no appointment. I asked if I could get booked with another available therapist.The young lady working the counter said they only had two thrapist. I couldn't believe it. Only two therapist. Are you in the buisiness of trying to make any money.
Great Deal on 1 Hour Massages – I had never had a massage before and some people at my office were recommending Massage Heights. My wife actually bought a gift certificate for me for Christmas so I finally went in for a one hour massage appointment. I definitely recommend going there. I told my therapist to use firm pressure and she worked out some knots and stress points in my upper back and shoulders. It's very affordable and I actually signed up for a membership so I'm going to get a one hour massage once a month now. Go check it out for yourself! I went to the location off of Shepherd and Westheimer.

Mark Munoz gives a heartfelt message on how Mayhem Miller can conquer his inner demons
Last weekend after UFC 146, we went with one of our trusted sources and published on our Sunday Morning Rumor Mill that Mayhem Miller got in an incident involving a UFC employee and nearly had an altercation with CB Dollaway. We were right about the UFC employee, wrong about Dollaway. Hey, we can't get them all right. That's why once a week we just sling all the stuff that's rumored in the MMA industry and see what sticks. If we don't publish the SMRM, you guys complain and when we do publish it -- you guys still complain. Stop getting so angry at life, folks. At least your face is not getting eaten off by a zombie in Florida.
We like to call Mark Munoz the 'Filipino wrecking machine' even though he hates that name. I'm sure if a zombie apocalypse went down, we can give him the moniker of 'Zombie wrecking machine' or maybe the 'Filipino zombie wrecking machine.' However, according to that name, people may think Mark Munoz is only wrecking Filipino zombies. Let's hope that Munoz doesn't discriminate in the face of a zombie takeover. We need him to be an equal-opportunity zombie destroyer.
Yesterday, LayzieTheSavage caught up with Mark Munoz to discuss Mayhem Miller and how he can truly overcome his inner demons and show fans the Mayhem that we've come to know throughout the years.

Great to see Mike is doing shows with the guys again. He will always be my favourite Monkee.
Great set list - bet it was a joyous night! Must be really weird without Davy though. I can't imagine a Monkees show without him.

A freakin Plus – Never had such good ribs i will be back very shortly for another helping
Quiet, great food, local - a special place – A truly local place off the Abbott Kinney beaten track. Everything on the menu has been great in the 5 or so times I have gone there. Really good value as you being your own beer/wine, no corkage. Loved the pork sandwich, salmon was excellent, taco special a total deal. Candles & quiet, often there is just you and maybe another small group.
Mellow Space and Delicious Dinner in Venice – I love this hideaway spot for dinner. The candlelit patio has a great feeling and everyone is attentive, warm and friendly. The food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced especially for this neighborhood. A real gem.
I Love This Place – I have eaten here several times for lunch and dinner and love everything about this place. It's a warm and friendly family owned restaurant which is so refreshing to see now a days. The cozy patio atmosphere is relaxing. They go the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of and have a wonderful experience. The quality of food, the taste, the presented and the portions are exceptional. Plus it's priced very reasonably. A shinning star among the restaurants of Venice, believe me I have eaten at all of them.
Great Lunch and Dinner – I have been to Marla's four days out of the last five and once was for dinner. I have not tried something i did not like yet. They make everything from scratch from their sauces to their desserts and everything tastes so fresh! Simply Amazing.

KENDUSKEAG - Bill and Tammy Kelley have been racing their 26-foot homemade canoe for 10 years in the Kenduskeag Stream Canoe Race, the highlight of a 20-year racing career. The giant "Kenduskeag Screamah" they raced last week falls under the "open" class in the Bangor race, although in other races it's part of the so-called "war canoe" class.
Cho Loring mans the bow seat of a voyageur-style canoe named the Kenduskeag Screamah, as it takes a practice run on Kenduskeag Stream in Bangor. The voyageur-style canoes, some of which seat 10 or more paddlers, have long been popular in Maine.
Photos by Michael C. York/Special to the Telegram
The Kenduskeag Screamah holds six and has molded seats instead of having paddlers kneel on the floor of the craft. Mainers have been racing in these big voyageurs for decades.
Here in Maine, however, the common term is a misnomer.
These longer voyageur canoes -- crafts that can seat 10 paddlers or more -- have been raced in Maine for decades. But historians say there are no roots in the state for the so-called "war canoe" or even for the voyageur canoe used in the fur trade.
"There weren't any special war canoe constructions in Maine. In British Columbia and Alaska, but not here, not that we know of, not in the Northeast," said Arthur Spiess, senior archeologist at the Maine Historical Preservation Commission in Augusta.
Spiess said the tradition of longer canoes came to Maine only in the last century.
Then, he said, they were a throwback to the Canadian fur trade activity, chiefly the commerce fueled by the Hudson Bay Company of the early 1800s.
The canoes built by European settlers in the 1700s, called voyageurs, were in excess of 30 feet long and could move a lot of fur quickly along rivers to the coast for transport to Europe.
Birch bark canoe builder Steve Cayards of Wellington, who has studied canoe-building techniques with native tribal communities across the Northeast, said the big canoes used then were for commercial use.
"From the 1700s and well into the 1800s, it was a long era of furs trapped in Canada being shipped to Europe," Cayard said.
"The beaver hat like Lincoln wore, those were the fashion of the time, and the roads were the rivers back then. They had a system of canoe routes through Canada to the coast. They had canoes up to 36 feet long. They were big birch bark canoes. Not many of them survived."
Cayard said native tribes outside of Maine may have used longer canoes for wartime purposes, but not the Wabanaki tribes in Maine, and not the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Micmac or Maliseet.
"What the tradition of these war canoes in Maine comes from, from what I understand, is something that started from summer camps and canoe clubs, probably in the wood-canvas era in the early 1900s. It was not native. It was an invention of white people," Cayard said.
Indeed, in New England summer camps of the early 1900s, voyageur-style canoes were a big hit. The longer canoes could pack a lot of campers in one boat.
"In southern Maine there are old postcards picturing canoe activity with big 25- and 35-foot canoes at summer camps," said canoe builder Mike Maybury in Brewer.
"I went to camp when I was a kid, 50 years ago, in the Berkshires, and they had a 35-footer, and a 25-foot canoe."
Maybury has become something of a Maine authority on the voyager-style canoe. He and his wife, B.J., have been running canoe trips on the Penobscot River in Brewer in big, 28-foot canoes for most of 20 years at Riverkeepers, a nonprofit environmental education organization.
Maybury now has seven voyageur canoes and the Riverkeepers have four, all of them 25-31 feet long. The big boats are the most efficient way to teach students about the Penobscot and its rich history.

Hi, everyone.
I'm definitely no expert on Leia's senatorial dress, but mine came out more or less okay so I went ahead and put together a tutorial to share how I made it. Perhaps it might help others who struggle with sewing and pattern making as much as I do!

Just a note for those "Tall" Leias. You may need to make this in two pieces with the seam hidden by the belt, otherwise the sleeves will be too short.
And I totally understand the "dress within a dress" stitching mindbender! I didn't have a dress form, and was about ready to rip my hair out!

I'm slow going on it, because I've got a zillion projects at once, but I am working on a tutorial for this dress with a waist seam. I can't promise when it'll be up though...

I sewed mine a little differently. I sewed the 2 layers as in the tutorial, and then sewed them to one another at the wrists.
Next I did the same thing with the slit in the back - folding the edges under and pinning, then turning the 2 layers inside out (going in from the bottom of the dresses) and sewing them. That way you get a nice clean edge along that slit. I then sewed the bottoms to one another, pulling the fabric up through the neck hole.
Then I attached the hoodlet and collar as in the tutorial.

it should be hooks, I only use 2 one on top of the collar and one at the bottom of the collar leaving the keyhole "open"

Yup, that's exactly what I used, too. There is one hook that is just slightly above the collar seam, and one that's near the top of the collar. They're white, so you can just barely see them in the gap of my collar in this picture. (I really should take a closeup of that for the tutorial... I'll add it to my ever-expanding to-do list!)
Pam :-)
P.S. Thanks for the kind comments and the additional ideas, everyone!

Nicely done Pam! I'm on my I think, 4th or 5th version of the dress. I always almost blow my head off with the hidden seam allowances, but I always sewed the layers together from the start, ending with the sleeves, and let me tell you, that gets insane trying to figure out which way to turn it inside out and which way to sew! I may have to try the fabric you were talking about, because I currently have a seam in the middle of my dress (hidden by my belt) because although I'm not tall (5'3"), I seem to have long arms. Anyway, thanks for the website!

I have an OR jedi costume that I regularly troop in, and am just getting tired of being called Princess Leia... not really tired of it... but it's frustrating... so I have decided to start on Leia's gown from ANH! I'm so excited to use your tutorial, Pam! I helped a friend do a Mara Jade a couple of years ago and love your simple instructions. I am not an expert seamstress, and I don't get bogged down in the terms and lingo.
I'm ordering fabric this week and will start straight away!

QUEENSBURY (AP) - Warren County is shelling out $270,000 to fight an invasive species in a popular Adirondack lake.
The Glens Falls Post-Star reports that the county supervisors voted Friday to put up the money to help fight Asian clams in Lake George. The funds come from the county's tax on hotel and motel room stays.
Lake George Park Commission Executive Director Dave Wick told the supervisors the commission is hard-pressed to treat newly discovered clam colonies this fall. The work is labor-intensive, requiring divers to spread plastic mats on acres of sandy lake bottom to smother the tiny mollusks.
Asian clams reproduce quickly and can degrade water quality by causing green algae blooms. Lake George is known for its crystal-clear water, and officials aggressively fight invasive species there.

Ambervilleby Tim Davys
What does it mean to be bad? Eric Bear has it all: a successful career, a beautiful wife, a blissful home. He knows he's been lucky; a while back, his life revolved around drugs, gambling, a gang of stuffed-animal thugs, and notorious crime boss Nicholas Dove. But the past isn't as far away as Eric had hoped. Rumors are swirling that Dove is on the Death List and that he wants Eric to save him. If Eric fails to act, his beloved wife, Emma Rabbit, will be torn apart, limb by limb. With a nod to the best of noir and the wisest of allegories, and interlaced with greed and gangsters, Amberville depicts an alternate world that mirrors our own realities and moral concerns, and reminds us of the inextricable link between good and evil.
Lanceheimby Tim Davys
A fast-paced literary and psychological drama in which the trials and tribulations of a group of stuffed animals illuminate the moral and philosophical dilemmas we all share While finishing what was to be his greatest symphony, famed composer Reuben Walrus discovers he is going deaf. Desperate to stave off the encroaching silence, he embarks on an odyssey to find a fabled creature named Maximilian, rumored to have healing powers but only traceable via an underground network. But as Reuben gets closer to the truth, he must ask himself: Just who-or what-is Maximilian? The story of the legendary creature is recorded by Wolf Diaz, Maximilian's oldest friend and most loyal follower. Oddly, unlike the other stuffed animals of Mollisan Town, Maximilian did not arrive by green delivery truck. He cannot be identified as any particular species and is made from a material unlike any other with almost invisible seams. And most puzzling, he grows in size. As Maximilian matures, he begins to preach odd parables, attracting a legion of followers hoping to learn from his teachings. But his believers aren't the only stuffed animals paying attention as his growing influence threatens the power of the darker forces currently ruling Mollisan Town. Now Maximilian is in hiding . . . and time is running out for Reuben to find him. As his search widens, the composer encounters a detective mouse, a giraffe who swears Maximilian miraculously cured his stomach cancer, and a mink who may hold the key to Reuben's salvation. But it's a race against time as Reuben's world steadily goes silent, and his desperation may ultimately lead to his undoing. With biting prose and compelling plot twists, Lanceheim is a tour de force all the way to the last sentence, as the true natures of Wolf Diaz, Reuben Walrus, and Maximilian are uncovered. Through the stuffed animals living in the imaginative world he introduced in the critically acclaimed Amberville, Tim Davys explores the hopes and fears, strengths and weaknesses, that define humanity as he pens a story that is both gripping and extraordinary.
Tourquaiby Tim Davys
A horrendous crime sets off a disturbing chain of events that will force the citizens of Mollisan Town to debate profound issues of free will and destiny in this powerful tale from the internationally acclaimed Tim Davys. In the Tourquai neighborhood of Mollisan Town, Superintendent Larry Bloodhound is the keeper of the peace and ruler of the streets. But there are others more powerful than he-a cadre of wealthy elite, including Oswald Vulture, who live above the law's reach. When Vulture is found headless in his ornate office atop Mollisan Town's most exclusive building, Bloodhound knows he must take special care in the investigation. But with the head missing and no sign of a break-in or murder weapon, this just may be the perfect crime. The search for answers leads Bloodhound and his team, Anna Lynx and Falcon Ècu-along with his closest friend, private detective Philip Mouse-deep into the exclusive, secretive world of Mollisan Town's most privileged. Who had the most to gain from Vulture's demise? His slithery and sexy secretary, Emanuelle Cobra? Or his seductive mistress, Jasmine Squirrel? And what about Igor Panda, a desperate gambler whose debts may have pushed him to do the unthinkable? But before he can find the truth, Bloodhound must face his own weaknesses. As he did in Amberville and Lanceheim, Tim Davys weaves an intricate plot around larger questions of human nature, exploring issues of fate, loyalty, good, and evil. As Bloodhound uncovers the secrets behind the world of stuffed animals, so, too, does Davys reveal greater truths about the world of humans.
Yokby Tim Davys
Tim Davys is one of the most uniquely imaginative novelists writing today--the architect of Mollisan Town, a dark urban nightmare located in an alternate world populated by stuffed animals that lie, cheat, dream, despair, love, and kill. In the final installment in his acclaimed Mollisan Town Quartet, Davys leads us into Yok, a district of dashed hopes and broken dreams--the seediest neighborhood of "a unique place that is both strange and familiar" (Boston Globe)--and employs an engaging cast of damaged animate plush toys to explore provocative questions of life, death, and morality. Yok is nourishment for readers hungry for off-beat, literary fiction, and fans of Christopher Moore, Neil Gaiman, Clifford Chase, and Jasper Fforde will be inexorably drawn into Davys' ingeniously sculpted world.

Daily Joke
Yossi and Janine, an elderly Jewish couple, are sitting together on an aeroplane flying to the Far East. Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning, and this plane will be going down in a few minutes time. The good news is that I can see an island below us that should be able to accommodate our landing. The bad news is that this island appears to be uncharted - I am unable to find it on our maps. So the odds are that we will never be rescued and will have to live on the island for a very long time, if not for the rest of our lives."Yossi turns to Janine and asks, "Janine, dear, did we turn off the oven?" and Janine replies, "Of course."
"Janine, are our life insurance policies paid up?"
"Of course."
"Janine, did we pay our pledge for the synagogue appeal?"
"Oh my God, I forgot to send off the cheque."
"Thank Heaven! They'll find us for sure!"

Celeb: Nicole Kidman
Designer: Emilio Pucci (dress), Bottega Veneta (clutch), Manolo Blahnik (sandals), Fred Leighton (earrings)
Event: 2013 White House Correspondents' Dinner, Washington DC
Verdict: Nicole looks beautiful! I love this fully embellished lavender gown by Emilio Pucci. I mean, do I think it is completely ridiculous that celebrities come from all over to rub elbows with the President and the First Lady? Absolutely. Buuuut, that is for an entirely different conversation, one I won't get into at present time. Anyways, back to the important stuff. Fashion. Like I said, I think Nicole looks amazing in this dress. And I am so happy that she kept everything else super simple: minimal makeup, loose curls and a pair of Fred Leighton drop earrings. She let the dress be the focal point, as it should be. Very nice. A+ Nicole!
What do you think? Do you like this light purple Emilio Pucci dress on Nicole? Love it? Hate it?
Happy Monday, friends!

From my pal Chris Calo…
On Sunday, we will pass 1,000,000 in attendance, through 36 home games. That is the fastest to 1 million in the last 8 seasons, when it took 35 home games to pass 1m in 2004.
I have compiled the "games to" 1 million and 2 million in attendance.
N/A = Did not reach 2 million

Boy, does this rig save a lot of time. Not only is it good for slotting nuts, I use it over the whole neck to see what's going on. Now if only it would work with the guitar in the playing position for a little more accuracy.
Love this gauge and I've gotten to the point I would hate to be without it. Use it for not only nut measurements, but relief, string height, etc. Seems like they should be more durable, or at least fixable. But again, this is my go-to for setups and adjustments. Love it!
This gauge makes the job so much easier. I have found that pushing down on the stem works well with repeatable results.
I'm a Novice repairman, not in any way a professional repairman, that I know comes with years of experience, but this device makes it easy enough that even I can set the nut the way I want it..with more accuracy,, a lot easier than feeler guages.. Good Product
I saw a tech using this tool at my local guitar shop (Quinns Music) and I immediately knew I needed one in my tool kit.. I use it for setup as well and I can now duplicate my fav on all my strats.. Great tool
It's a good tool
I tried to use my nut slotting gauge to file the nut slots on my Strat to the correct depth, one thing I noticed was that the accuracy was a bit out, I discovered this by using the gauge to file a string slot so that there was 0.018" clearance between the top of the first fret and the string, then I used a 0.018"-thick feeler gauge blade to check, the string clearance was actually more than the feeler gauge, as far as I knew, I was using the nut slotting gauge correctly, also the dial being marked back-to-front makes it hard to read so you need to do some mental gymnastics to interpret the reading.
The Stew-Mac nut slotting gauge is an awesome tool for dialing in the exact string height your after. I run 13-56's on all my guitars, (regardless of scale length) for all my standard E & Drop D tunings. With the gauge and a set of nut files, I can set my string height exactly where I want it (15/1,000th). The gauge couldn't be easier to use. It didn't scratch, ding or leave the slightest mark on my fretboards. I highly recommend this tool for anyone who runs heavier than 10's, and enjoys doing their own work.
Worked great! Wish I would have had this long ago. No more feeler gauges. Took the time to measure all of my instruments that played great and now I can see why. I'm now in the process of adjusting the action on my other guitars. Not sure why others have had a problem with the dial reading backwards. Just count it off as you push down on the string, 10, 20, 23. Sure the dial reads 77, but who cares, just count. And yes, if you take three readings you will get a variation of .001 to .002, but then you are not building a rocket, this is close enough.
elegant , well engineered tool. No more fumbling around with feeler gauges and the fly by night, guessing game action set up. 40 years of running by "feel" is over thanks to this fine tool. I am happy!!

King Dannel I? Last month, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy proposed legislation that would put state government's watchdog agencies firmly under gubernatorial control. This week, Gov. Malloy announced his support for a bill that would eliminate the Connecticut Commuter Rail Council, which advocates on behalf of rail commuters and whose membership is chosen by the legislature. The council's successor would have less power, and its chairman would be appointed by the governor — not council members — allowing him to exert control over its agenda. Sen. Toni Boucher, R-Wilton, told the Republican-American's Andrew Larson, "It would be like the superintendent choosing his own Board of Education chairman. You would be more beholden to the superintendent than to the voters." It is widely believed that Gov. Malloy plans to run for re-election. If he keeps up his current path, one could be forgiven for believing he is running for king.

The network service in my computer (Ubuntu LTS 12.04, upgraded) suddenly stopped working. The only clue in
/var/log/syslog are lines like this,
Mar 8 16:51:51 Rafid-Hamiz-OptiPlex kernel: [ 14.617413] init: network-manager main process (879) terminated with status 127
Mar 8 16:53:56 Rafid-Hamiz-OptiPlex AptDaemon.NetMonitor: WARNING: Failed to determinate network state
(Just before that time I remember running
nmap (http://nmap.org/) once without root privilege,
zenmap (http://nmap.org/zenmap/) once with root privilege. Are these connected in any way?)
I use a static address wired network with fixed MAC.
ping to my NIC address shows that the network process is not running.
service networking status
showed that the service is stopped.
service networking restart
did not improve the scenario.
Rebooting the machine was of no help either.
When I tried to set the network from System Settings, I got message in the line of "the network type is not consistent or some such". I forgot to take a screen shot.
None of the user accounts in this machine can get network. Even the network icon does not appear.
Now, when I booted the machine with Ubuntu CD (the same 12.04), and set the network parameters (IP address, MAC, gateway) just like my original one, network started working. This is how I am asking this question.
I do not know even where to start the remedial process. Which setting got corrupted in my machine? How do I get network service in the original machine and stop working from CD?
Any help will be appreciated.

The UCLA School of Law (UCLA Law) Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) is designed to aid UCLA Law J.D. graduates who wish to undertake qualified public service employment for nonprofit public interest organizations or government agencies. Starting with January-June 2010 application cycle, we integrated our LRAP with the Income Based Repayment (IBR) option and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness provided by the federal government's College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 (the Act).
NOTE: Graduates seeking to participate in LRAP must begin participating in the Program within three years after the end of their loan grace period, which normally ends six months after graduation.
Standard Option vs. IBR OptionStarting with the January-June 2010 application all applicants must select either the Standard Option or the IBR Option. The Standard LRAP Option provides for up to $105,000 in student loan debt with an annual income ceiling of $80,000. The IBR Option will provide assistance to many graduates with student loans greater than $105,000 and takes into consideration pre-law federal debt. IBR Option guidelines require making IBR payments. The IBR Option also has an annual income ceiling of $80,000. Starting with the graduating Class of 2011, UCLA's LRAP debt service for all applicants will be determined based on the IBR repayment regardless of the applicant's actual repayment plan.
For a comparison of the parameters for the Standard Option and the IBR Option, click here:
Comparison Chart: Standard Option vs. IBR Option

If you bought white sewer pipe that doesn't say "Schedule 40" or DWV; if it is that thin white stuff that is similar to the kind that has holes in it and used for french drains, then you should take it back and get some that at least says DWV.
Another way you can check is to see if it fits a DWV fitting such as a Wye or Tee.
And your clamps should have a piece of metal that covers the full length of the rubber cylinder.
If it is the right pipe, you will not be able to break it with the clamps.
You can cut the pipe with a chain cutter/snapper device, or you can cut it with an abrasive wheel on an angle grinder. I have also occasionally cut a piece with a very good and heavy duty saber saw. You could probably also do it with a SawZall. I would be more inclined to use a saw or grinder device near the concrete where the consequences of breaking the pipe into the floor are severe.

Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid. It is a powerful psychoactive drug and one of the oldest recreational drugs. It is best known as the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages and thermometers. In common usage, it is often referred to simply as alcohol or spirits.
Ethanol is a straight-chain alcohol, and its molecular formula is C2H5OH. Its empirical formula is C2H6O. An alternative notation is CH3–CH2–OH, which indicates that the carbon of a methyl group (CH3–) is attached to the carbon of a methylene group (–CH2–), which is attached to the oxygen of a hydroxyl group (–OH). It is a constitutional isomer of dimethyl ether. Ethanol is often abbreviated as EtOH, using the common organic chemistry notation of representing the ethyl group (C2H5) with Et.

Jamie Lynn Spears just got engaged to her businessman boyfriend of three years, and a lot of people are probably noticing the couple's odd moniker situation -- they have the same name!
Britney Spears' 21-year-old sister will be walking down the aisle with a 30-year-old Jamie Watson, so if she takes her fiancé's last name, she'll also be Jamie Watson. But surely everyone who knows the pair throws the "Lynn" in there to avoid confusion during conversations with the couple.
Hopefully Jamie Lynn Spears and Jamie Watson's relationship will last since most celebrity couples with the same first name seem to have a hard time staying together. Here's a look at a couple of moniker-sharing pairs that have called it quits:
Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner
The two Taylors became an item after meeting on the set of the romantic movie "Valentine's Day." Swifty was allegedly into the idea of dating Lautner because "she thought the buzz about the two Taylors dating was cute." However, cuteness will only take couples so far, and Taylor squared called in quits in December 2009 after a few short months together. The couple did remain friends, and Lautner got to join a very exclusive club -- he's one of the few exes T-Swift actually wrote a flattering song about. It doesn't look like Harry Styles will be so lucky.
Paris Hilton and Paris Latsis
This pair of Parises got engaged in May 2005, and it's not hard to see what Ms. Hilton saw in her suitor -- the Greek heir purchased his princess a 24-carat engagement ring worth $4.7 million. Surprisingly, money couldn't buy Hilton's love for long, and the couple broke things off four months later. But Latsis probably dodged a bullet there since Hilton's idea of love is turning her boyfriend's bleeding leg into a photo op.
Other Strange Name Situations
Not many stars want to share their first names with their significant others, but there are some other celebrity couples who've had to deal with similar strange situations involving the same names.
Before Kimye happened, Kris Jenner was a little creeped out by Kim Kardashian getting engaged to Kris Humphries. Here's what she told "Access Hollywood:" "I don't think it's a good thing if your fiancé's name is the same as your mother. What if you're in bed and you start yelling out your husband's name in the middle of sex? It's weird. It's just a little creepy." Momagers are always right, so now Kim has found a new man with a "K" moniker that won't make her mother uncomfortable.
David Hasselhoff's name situation is similarly icky. The former "Baywatch" star has a 20-year-old daughter named Hayley, and he's currently dating a model named Hayley Roberts who's young enough to be his daughter. The Hoff says that being almost three decades older than his girlfriend doesn't bother him, but maybe the age difference and the name of David's daughter does get to Roberts -- David keeps proposing to her, but she keeps turning him down.
So do you think that celebrity couples with the same name are cute or just plain strange? And is it even weirder when celebs' significant others share names with their family members?

Reducing animal suffering in disaster prone Bangladesh.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) will direct its efforts towards long-term sustainable solutions that will reduce the affect of disasters such as cyclone Sidr on animals and the communities that rely on them in Bangladesh.
The need for a longer-term approach was confirmed by the organisations second post-disaster assessment in four months, carried out over the past fortnight. A previous assessment in August of this year, following the country's worst floods in living memory, led to WSPA delivering veterinary treatment and emergency feed aid.
Dr Ian Dacre, Disaster Management Director for Asia, said: "In a country battered by natural disasters several times a year, it is crucial to plough the resources we can into effective and sustainable risk reduction efforts to prevent such widespread suffering and damage in future."
This approach will involve working with Government and other agencies to consider ideas, such as models for improved infrastructures and education, that would help to maintain feed supplies for animals and animal health.
In addition, WSPA plans to share the knowledge gained during its recent animal welfare assessments with other agencies working in Bangladesh..blog comments powered by Disqus

Iconic 'Home Of The Fighting Sioux' sign to be auctionedGRAND FORKS — Ralph Engelstad Arena announced today that one full set of "Home Of The Fighting Sioux" letters removed from the exterior of the hockey palace last fall will be sold through an online auction this month.
By: Chuck Haga, Forum News Service, INFORUM
You want to spell out just how dismayed you are that UND no longer is "Home Of The Fighting Sioux"?
In big letters?
Ralph Engelstad Arena announced today that one full set of "Home Of The Fighting Sioux" letters removed from the exterior of the hockey palace last fall will be sold through an online auction this month.
"We received quite a few inquiries from folks about what we were going to do with the signs," said Chris Semrau, director of events and media relations at REA.
The six sets of letters were removed from the REA and the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center starting in late October to comply with terms of the 2007 settlement agreement that ended a lawsuit brought by the state of North Dakota, acting on behalf of UND and the State Board of Higher Education, against the NCAA.
Efforts to reverse or alter the settlement have continued, and in September the NCAA agreed to amend it to allow most Fighting Sioux imagery to stay — but the six large exterior "home of" signs still had to go.
Each of the letters is 24 inches in height. As installed on the arena's exterior, the phrase "Home Of The Fighting Sioux" measured about 70 feet in length, Semrau said.
He said proceeds from the sale will go toward offsetting the costs of the signs' removal. He did not cite a figure for that work, but said "it was significant."
The online auction is to open at 8 a.m. Monday and close at 5 p.m. next Friday, Semrau said.
"Letters will be sold 'as is' without warranty of any kind, either express or implied," Semrau said, but they are in good condition.
The phrase is to be sold in its entirety, not letter by letter. But that opportunity may come, Semrau said, depending on how successful next week's auction is.
"We're doing one set now and then we'll re-evaluate and decide what to do with the rest of the letters," he said. "No plans have been made" for the remaining sets.
Potential bidders may inspect a limited number of the letters in the REA administrative office during regular business hours. The arena will assume no responsibility "for any repairs or additional costs required to display these letters," and the winning bidder must pay shipping costs.

More efficient use of energy and water, reduction of greenhouse gases and waste must start within our own business operations. We began measuring our emissions in 2005 when we published our first Environmental Statement and have been reporting on our global operational footprint ever since to several sustainability rating agencies, including the Carbon Disclosure Project.
Our direct footprint consists mainly of paper, energy usage and business travel. We take a critical look at our use and procurement of resources essential to our day-to-day operations, and have set ambitious targets to reduce this operational footprint. By 2012, we aim to reduce our carbon emissions by 30 per cent compared to the 2007 level. In 2011, the absolute amount of carbon emissions from our business operations had decreased by 20 per cent.
