A man behind a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic chained himself to the building's fence in protest on Tuesday, claiming that a botched DNA test led officials to wrongly deny his daughter American citizenship while also ruining his marriage.
Miguel Familia, a naturalized U.S. citizen from the Dominican Republic, alleged that a DNA test ordered by the embassy to prove the girl was his daughter came back negative and she was denied residency in 2005.
After he received the test results, Familia divorced his wife and accused her of having an extramarital affair, according to his lawyer, Carlos de la Rosa.
But for years his ex-wife continued to insist the girl was his daughter. That led Familia to seek two separate paternity tests on his own earlier this year and both tested positive, de la Rosa said.
By protesting outside the embassy, Familia was attempting to draw attention to his legal case and the mistake that he blames for tearing his family apart. He filed a complaint in the Dominican Republic in July against the embassy and a U.S.-based laboratory, seeking $180 million in damages.
"They destroyed my family and I lost seven years with her," he said of his daughter, Ashley.
A U.S. Embassy spokesman declined to comment on the lawsuit. Officials at the DNA testing laboratory, Clinical Test & Research in Ridgewood, New Jersey, could not be immediately reached for comment.
According the U.S. State Department website, DNA tests can be required for parents who are U.S. citizens seeking citizenship for their child where it is not clear a birth certificate is adequate proof showing a biological relationship.

May 30, 2013
By Jennifer Bihm
LAWT Editor
Having already knocked out incumbent Mayor Eric Perrodin, young and polished urban planner Aja Brown has set her sights on another former mayor of the Hub City in her quest to become the second woman in the history of Compton in the June general election.
"I believe Compton is a beautiful city," said Brown who is running against Omar Bradley to become Compton's next mayor.
"I believe it's neglected [but] I still think it has a huge opportunity to be a world class city…"
At 31, Brown is city's youngest mayoral candidate to since 1973. She's new to the political scene, but as a third generation resident (her grandmother and mother grew up there) and city employee, she knows exactly the kinds of changes Compton needs.
"A lot of issues that we have in the city are not because we don't have the funds, the finances or the ability, but we just really need to have a new system in place," said Brown during an interview with the Social Justice Coalition posted on her official campaign website.
"All of our systems are thirty years old. Our general plan is 30 years old… That's the policy document that really guides the community forward. We don't have a zoning ordinance, which is the legal tool that cities can use to move the community forward. We don't have things like a capital improvement plan, which really is your public works blue print for how you improve your city.
A native, Brown was born in Compton, but her mother moved the family to Pasadena after her grandmother was murdered in her home, she said during an interview.
After earning a Bachelor's Degree in Public Policy, Urban Planning and Development and a Master's degree in Urban Planning with a concentration in Economic Development from the University of Southern California in 2005, she began her career as an urban planning commissioner in earnest.
She has worked in Pasadena and Gardena and has been living in Compton with her husband Van Brown for the last four years.
Brown cites corrupt politicians and mismanagement of funds as blame for Compton's misfortunes, but she is willing and ready to change that. Her vision is to have a plan in place to mitigate all of that. It involves youth and economic development and crime reduction. She also wants to "re brand" Compton and restructure its government operations she said.
"I'm a trained planner, with deep Compton roots, who's worked to bring the employer community, labor unions, youth people, seniors, and the religious community together for job growth and business development."
"Youth Development initiatives, collaboration and direct investment will mitigate crime, improve educational attainment and create positive outlets to develop the city's next generation," according to Brown.
"So, when we look at the city of Compton, you know the people who live here, we love our city and we have a lot of pride about our community but the infrastructure, our streets, our roads, the cleanliness, the crime, you know the graffiti, the lack of healthy food options, the lack of entertainment options… we really are living in a vacuum. And I say that in respect to the communities that surround us. The city of Compton is one of the oldest communities and largest metropolitan areas in Los Angeles County, but yet when we look at the cities of Carson, Gardena, Paramount… they've been able to do some things that Compton hasn't been able to do like keep the city maintained and cleaned."
She believes youth development will have an immediate impact on the quality of Compton's school system and wants to reach youth at every stage of their educational development to transform schools.
"Strong communities are built on strong families and strong families are more apt to locate in communities with thriving schools," she beleives
She has clear cuts goals about reducing crime in the City.
"Establishing a strong partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) is critical. Partnering with LASD to create a city-specific community policing infrastructure will facilitate an information sharing and data tracking model for Compton (modeled after the City of Baltimore's CitiStat Program) will enhance existing crime reduction strategies."
Another priority is "rebranding" the city, which has long held a reputation for being synonymous with crime and corruption: "The 'ReThink Compton' branding campaign will include a variety of projects to showcase the positive aspects, people, and progress of the city through various media formats and partnerships.
"The internal strategy will incorporate intra-community marketing to connect residents with local resources, goods and services."
Moreover, "The external strategy will focus on reconstructing Compton's image through a variety of means, including positively marketing the many great initiatives and achievements throughout our community," Brown added.
"I believe I will be one of the first mayors to really focus on policies. We've had some mayors do some good programs but we really need to look at the policies in the city of Compton," she explained.
"The city of Compton is really a jewel of L.A. County. We have a huge industrial base. We're the hub city because everything comes through Compton. We have 50 percent of the world's trade because of the ports of Los Angeles County they go straight through Compton. We have rail lines, we have our own airports, golf course. We have our own water system… [But] we've mismanaged and we've missed a lot of opportunities. We've had failed leadership and an unstable government so, I'm running to really put some stability back in city government and make sure that City Hall is transparent and inclusive of all people."
Economic revitalization will be another major priority in her administration. "We'll focus on making Downtown a center of activity that is transit accessible and well planned."
Brown says small businesses will power our economic revival and big businesses will employ our residents."
"A city with strong leadership at the policy making level will bring a new sense of purpose and hope to all stakeholders."
"Residents, businesses, community, and Compton's children deserve leadership that can deliver and re-write our civic narrative to be business friendly, building pathways to the middle class, and with quality educational opportunities for every child."
While some many consider Brown a newcomer to politics, she is not a without the support of Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor Chairman Mark Ridley-Thomas and other prominent organizations, and perhaps she is just right for Compton as it's next mayor.

Not DFL in my first Crystal City 5k Fridays race!
April 2, 2016
I wasn't DFL last night. I ran the first Crystal City 5K Friday race last night and was 488 out of 497 for my gender — not last! — and I was the 1,070th finisher out of 1,126 finishers! I am not sure if I was DFL for my age group, but I doubt it. That's […]

I've talked a lot about biking as a great alternative to driving to work, but there is another option that may be a little less daunting: telecommuting.
If you regularly drive to work, telecommuting can save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere and save you a bundle of money to boot.
I only live 3.5 miles from my office. But I found that, with driving costs and a hefty parking fee, I'd have to pay more than $3,300 a year to drive to work. (Calculate your own commuting costs here.) On top of that, my little Toyota Corolla would release more than 1,350 pounds of carbon.
If someone who lives just 10 miles from their office and has free parking were to work from home just one day a week, she could save about $265 and 0.3 tons of carbon a year.
Think those are some pretty good reasons to give it a try? I do too, so I've asked for some advice from those who telecommute on a regular basis.
On convincing your boss:
The first step in making telecommuting a reality is to make sure your employer is OK with it. And unless your company has a telework program, that may mean doing some convincing.
According to Quint Careers, one key strategy is to focus on the benefits telecommuting will have for your employer, not for you. You may love that telecommuting will allow you to be there when your kids get home from school, but focus on how it would be better for them: that you'd be more productive, spend more time on projects, etc.
On creating a workspace:
Designating a workspace is essential, according to Katie Kemple, communications manager for EconomyStory.org.
"My husband and I both work from home and even though our house is small (975 sq ft), we've still found spots to claim as our own," she says. "Mine's the corner of our den. To make it an 'office,' I purchased a rolling laptop table, wall pockets, magazine holders and a file box – all for about $100."
On blending home and work life:
For Chrissy Schwinn, the Conservancy's director of international policy and climate communications, telecommuting out of her house in Berkeley, Calif., isn't much of a choice – the office she reports into is 3,000 miles away.
Having been a telecommuter for the last five years and working with two small kids in the house, she knows that telecommuting "blends home and work life in odd and sometimes entertaining/mortifying ways."
Chrissy bravely shares a few of her most recent experiences, both good and bad:
• Had a 4-year-old show up on a video conference and ask me how to spell "love."
• Started conference calls with Europe at 6:30 a.m. and worked through the day to end with calls to Asia Pacific at 6:30 p.m.
• Held a meeting with visiting work colleagues on the back deck in the sun.
• Cut out in the middle of the day to catch my son's Halloween parade, and finished my "workday" after he'd gone to bed.
• Can often go until mid-afternoon without a single interruption — no water cooler, no "drop bys" at my desk.
• Started a conference call in pajamas and finished it fully dressed.
Her advice? "Learning to live in this fuzzy area between work and home life is crucial to succeeding as a telecommuter."
On other benefits:
Misty Herrin, associate director of strategic communications at the Conservancy and a longtime telecommuter, has a laundry list of other benefits of working from home:
• Eating better and saving money by eating at home;
• Spending a lot less money on work attire and having it last longer;
• Being able to gain momentum on big projects by ignoring the phone and e-mail;
• No water cooler gossip!
• Fewer days out sick; it's a lot easier to brave a work day when you don't have to deal with a commute or risk spreading germs to others.
Not just for your daily routine:
Telecommuting can also be a huge money, time and carbon saver when it comes to conferences. Many organizations are using video conferencing technology in lieu of having people fly to one central location.
Since May, Jonathan Hoekstra, managing director of the Conservancy's climate change team, has used video technology in place of making about 10 cross-country trips and one trip to Australia. By attending remotely, Jonathan estimates about $10,000 in savings in just six months.
While I enjoy biking to the office and some of the perks of working here (free coffee, printer access and a landline phone), I have a feeling that staying in my house is going to look pretty tempting when winter sets in.

After 20 years of addiction, I've finally quit coffee — and developed a raging addiction to green tea.
The addiction swap-out, apparently, means great eco-benefits. According to GOOD, a cup of coffee requires 37 gallons of water to make (from growing the coffee, etc.), while a cup of tea requires just nine gallons.
That isn't why I quit coffee though. Though GOOD's chart compares somewhat similar choices we make in everyday life, I don't think the lower water use option is necessarily always the choice you "should" make. If it were, we should eat oranges (13 gallons) and shun apples (18 gallons), and always opt for beer (20 gallons) over wine (31 gallons). A healthy, eco-friendly diet, though, requires variety — and in my opinion, a fun factor that makes room for individual taste. Picking fair trade coffee — or an organic apple — seems to me more eco-effective than always going for tea or oranges.
But now I really am always going for green tea over coffee. Why? I finally realized coffee was making me a more anxious, less even-keeled person.
I'd been drinking coffee daily since sixth grade, so I thought my anxiety levels and daily energy highs and crashes were just part of my nature. Coffee was just a normal, daily habit, a morning routine I looked forward to. Until recently, I started each day with three cups of French-pressed organic fair trade coffee — and couldn't function without it. In fact, when I started my personal green blog, its main focus was coffee — fair trade, organic coffee, to be specific. I did lots of coffee reviews, interviewed movers and shakers in the fair trade coffee world, and gave advice on drinking the most eco-ethical cup of coffee.
But about a year ago, when I complained about low-grade anxiety, low energy in the afternoons, and some trouble falling asleep at night, a doctor recommended that I try cutting back my daily caffeine habit to just two cups of coffee. So I did. The result? I still felt my energy dip in the early afternoon, but I felt less anxious and I slept better! In fact, I felt so much better that whenever a friend mentioned anxiety or mood swings or insomnia, I waxed lyrical about how much cutting back on caffeine helped my sense of well-being.
Oddly, this did not spur me to explore actually quitting coffee altogether.
I think part of the resistance was that I'd tried to quit coffee before — and failed rather miserably each time. Usually, these attempts to quit were linked to some sort of bigger lifestyle change that sparked my interest — something that forced me not only to go cold turkey on all caffeine, but totally revamp my diet or some other big aspect of my life (one especially tortuous stab at the Master Cleanse comes to mind).
Needless to say, those "change everything" dealios gave me horrible caffeine withdrawal headaches and just made me feel crappy altogether. It's been an extremely slow process, but through the years I do seem to be finally accepting the fact that I generally do better when I try to make gradual changes over time, instead of attempting to alter everything in one go as I'm often tempted to do.
If you're like me, my method of finally quitting coffee successfully might work for you.
My attempt to go from the now two-cup habit to zero began when I decided to do the Crazy Sexy Diet cleanse — in a sane manner that wasn't too shocking to my body. That cleanse recommended, among other things, quitting coffee, but also preached moderation and going at your own pace.
Around the same time, I read Robin Barooah's post at Quantified Self about how he quit coffee due to the "growing suspicion that coffee was causing mood swings and crashes that are bad for my overall sense of well-being." His quitting method? A very gradual and exact self-devised program that required a lot of measuring — and some unfortunate coffee waste:
I made the same amount of coffee each day, using a vac-pot. Although I didn't measure caffeine content, I did control many factors including grind, age of beans, water temperature and water/coffee contact time. From this controlled pot of coffee, I used measuring cups to discard an additional 20ml per week.
He quit successfully — and found his concentration improved to boot! So instead of going cold turkey, this time I decided to channel Robin's anal retentive methodology, minus the coffee waste. How? I counted beans. I started with 100 beans every morning, cutting back five beans every few days and reducing the amount of water I put in the French press. Finally, I had about 15 beans left in my coffee jar — with which I made my last weak shot or so of coffee.
The next day, I drank a cup of black tea instead — without suffering a caffeine withdrawal headache. I had about 20 bags of black tea stockpiled in the apartment, mostly begotten as friends or as samples for review. Those finally got quaffed. Then I moved onto the green tea — I also had about 20 bags of those to get through. After those were gone, I went entirely caffeine-free, starting my days with herbal tea. I even proudly told a number of organic tea companies to not send any more caffeinated tea samples, because I've quit caffeine, to which they replied "Congratulations," and started sending more herbal tea samples.
That caffeine-free streak lasted less than a month.
It ended when I read some nice things about green tea's many healthy properties — things I had certainly read before, but this time, could use as an excuse to enjoy some caffeine in the morning. I guess I'm just not ready to part entirely with a caffeine habit yet, because I don't see a reason to kick it entirely. The switch from coffee to green tea has definitely lessened my mood swings and energy crashes — and I'm happy with the results as they are.
Perhaps 20 years from now, I'll find a reason to quit green tea. For now, I'm slowly becoming a green tea connoisseur, so expect to see more fair trade, organic green tea reviews here. One thing I've discovered so far: Back when I drank coffee, green tea never seemed to "do" anything in terms of a caffeine kick — the effect of the brew seemed no different than just water. Now, I not only feel the caffeine jolt but also can feel the difference in the caffeine levels of cheaper, paper tea bags and the more expensive, premium silk satchel bag or loose leaf varieties. The latter definitely gives you more of a kick!
Have you quit coffee — or tried to? What's your story? And do you have a green tea to recommend?

The following comes from the Vatican Radio site:
In his address to thousands of pilgrims gathered in Saint Peter's Square for the first Angelus prayer of 2013, Pope Benedict likened the new year to "a journey" and prayed that it may lead on a path to peace "for every person and every family, for each country and for the whole world."
Below please find a Vatican Radio translation of his remarks:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Happy New Year to all! On this first day of 2013, I would like God's blessing to be extended to every man and every woman in the world. I do this with the ancient formula contained in Sacred Scripture: "The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and show thee mercy. The Lord turn his face to you and give you peace "(Numbers 6:24-26).
Such as light and heat from the sun are a blessing to the earth, so the light of God is for humanity, when He shines His face upon it. This happened with the birth of Jesus Christ! God hath shown us the brilliance of His face: at the beginning in a very humble, hidden way - in Bethlehem, only Mary and Joseph and some shepherds were witnesses to this revelation -; but little by little, like the sun from dawn comes to noon, the light of Christ has grown and spread everywhere. Even in the short time of his earthly life, Jesus of Nazareth made the face of God shine in the Holy Land, and then, through the Church animated by his Spirit, extended to all peoples the Gospel of peace. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favour rests" (Lk 2:14). This is the song of the angels at Christmas, and the song of the Christians in every clime, a song from the hearts and lips which passes into concrete actions, actions of love that build dialogue, understanding and reconciliation.
For this, eight days after Christmas, when the Church, like the Virgin Mother Mary, shows the world the infant Jesus, the Prince of Peace, we celebrate the World Day of Peace. Yes, that Child, Who is the Word of God made flesh, came to give men a peace which the world can not give (cf. Jn 14:27). His mission is to break down the "dividing wall of hostility" (Eph 2:14). And when, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, He proclaims his "Beatitudes", among them there is also "blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Mt 5:9). Who are the peacemakers? They are all those who, day by day, try to overcome evil with good, with the power of truth, with the weapons of prayer and forgiveness, with honest and well done work, with scientific research at the service of life, with the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. The peacemakers are many, but they are not loud. As leaven in dough, they raise humanity according to God's plan.
In this first Angelus of the new year, we ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, to bless us, like a mother blesses her children who must leave on a trip. A new year is like a journey: with the light and grace of God, may it be a path to peace for every person and every family, for each country and for the whole world.
Dear brothers and sisters!
I share with all the most cordial good wishes for the new year: may it be a really good year, and it will be if we accept in us and among us, the love that Christ has given us. With gratitude I express my best wishes to the President of the Italian Republic and to the entire nation, as well as to other authorities who have sent me greetings.
I renew my affectionate greeting to the young people who came to Rome for the European meeting of the Taizé Community. I express my spiritual closeness to the ecclesial initiatives surrounding this World Day of Peace: I think, in particular, of the national March which took place last night in Lecce (Italy), as well as (this morning's march) here in Rome, animated by the Community of Sant 'Egidio. I greet the members of the Family Love Movement who remained last night in prayer vigils in St. Peter's Square, in Milan and in L'Aquila. To all I repeat the words of Jesus: "Blessed are the peacemakers"!
Greetings to English speaking pilgrims:
I am pleased to greet all the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors present today for this prayer. Today, New Year's Day, we celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. With affectionate trust, Our Lady believed the message revealed to her by the angel's word and bore Jesus Christ, true God and true man. May her powerful intercession bring you a happy and prosperous New Year!

Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignons are an important fragment of the Penfolds story. They are magical wines, steeped in nineteenth-century Barossa Valley heritage, and possess 'an ethereal dimension and saturated blackness on the palate'.
The recent 2004 vintage resulted in beautifully aromatic, perfectly balanced and ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. The next release will be dependent on a bit of luck, ideal weather conditions and the right parcels of fruit.
Will continue to develop and evolve with careful cellaring. Peak drinking window now - 2030.
Only ever released in 1953, 1961, 1963, 1964, 1996 and 2004.
Block 42 played a critical role in the development of Grange. Max Schubert experimented with parcels of Block 42 Cabernet during the development phase of Grange and it was occasionally blended into the early Grange vintages.
Dense in colour.
Intense blackcurrant, dark chocolate and liquorice aromas.
Fine, silky tannins and richly concentrated flavours are in perfect harmony. The sheer volume and weight of fruit explodes across the palate, giving tremendous depth and length of flavour.
Origin: Block 42 Kalimna Vineyard, Barossa Valley, South Australia.
Maturation: Fermentation was completed in medium toast, new 300L oak hogsheads, before the wine underwent 13 months barrel fermentation.
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon.

Sites We Like: Type Twins, Karma, and Harmonizr
Isn't everything better with a friend? Pairing things up in this week's sites we like.
Daniel Eden has pulled together another gorgeous collection of font profiles, this time featuring a catalogue of serif and sans pairings from Typekit. As educational as it is effective, this site explores how "twin" fonts such as Freight Text and Freight Sans naturally balance one another when used on the same page.
On the clean, appealing Karma website, FF Din lends an upbeat style to the body text, with Proxima Nova Alt neatly punctuating each section. Karma's mobile hotspots are designed to be shared with friends, and they express this simple idea effectively and with optimism on this smoothly designed site.
As Harmonizr aims to make modern group collaborations simpler and more fun to manage, their website leads by example, balancing the distinct personalities of FF Meta, Myriad, and Bello into one cohesive and dynamic message.
That's all for this week; share sites that you like in the comments!

Oakland, CA 94609
(510) 652-4888
Four days in
(all photos by Adam Lindsley)
First stop was Pizzaiolo across the bay in
We selected a table in the far corner of the restaurant's back room, a cozy brick-lined area lined with small tables dimly lit from candles and the rustic, sparse light fixtures dangling from overhead. It's a nice space away from the pizzeria's main crowd, and were it not for the Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits playing back to back over the house speakers--rather loudly I might add--it could be considered for a romantic evening with a significant other.
Christa and I started with a simple Caesar Salad ($8). I almost never order Caesar salads, so I'm hardly one to judge, but I found this one quite palatable. The lettuce was fresh and crunchy, bathed lightly in sharp shaved grana padano and a creamy dressing that was thankfully mild on the garlic. It was served with very, very salty croutons that would have been overpowering on their own, but broken into smaller pieces they suited the rest of the dish admirably.
Our Margherita ($13) arrived shortly thereafter. As you can see by the photos, the crust was cooked and charred to perfection (I'd expect no less from such an establishment by this point), with a pleasantly airy cornicione. The crust was good, though it would have benefited from a touch more salt. Then again, after those croutons, nothing could seem half as salty.
The copious amount of tomato sauce on this pie delivers a swift, spicy kick to your mouth, which you usually don't get in a traditional red sauce, and I guessed some sort of chili powder had been mixed in. A quick check with our server confirmed this: each pie, after the dough is spread but before the other toppings are added, is given a light dousing of olive oil and freshly ground calabrian chilies, which becomes infused in the heat of the wood-burning oven. It gives the sauce a smoky bite that sets it apart from other, simpler blends.
Best of all is the cheese. The mozzarella is very creamy and very soft, almost like butter. I don't know how Pizzaiolo gets the cheese this soft, but I want the secret. It's nutty and flavorful, and every bite fortunate enough to include it is ten times better than one that does not. Frankly, I'd be happy if they covered the whole pie in this cheese rather than just the occasional pool.
We wanted a cool, crisp dessert to follow the surprising spiciness of the Margherita, so we opted for the Tangelo Sorbet & Vanilla Ice Cream ($7). The sorbet was far too icy and tough to break apart with the spoon, but the vanilla ice cream...wow. Incredible. Maybe the richest and most full-flavored vanilla ice cream I've ever had. Vanilla can often be ordinary and forgettable in the wake of other, more inventive flavors, but that simply was not the case here. Simple puff pastry sticks were served with it, but these were improved by the ice cream, not the other way around.
A very satisfying meal all around, fantastic service from the attentive staff, and a very good pizza I can heartily recommend. Just one suggestion: show up early, or make a reservation. Their reservation book was filled that night, and this was a Monday. Just imagine how slammed they get on a Saturday. Better yet, don't. Just call ahead. The food's worth it.
The indulgence continues tomorrow with Pizzeria Delfina and Pizzeria Picco.
OVEN: Wood
RECOMMENDED: Margherita (anything with red sauce, really)
*Okay, maybe "pizza crawl" isn't quite accurate. I'm hitting five (maybe six) pizzerias, but over the course of three days, not one. I guess technically that isn't a "crawl," per se, but it's still manly, right?

Stella's column
April 7, 2005
JUDY, JUDY, JUDY: Our feisty state Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka
made a bet with the North Carolina state treasurer, Richard Moore, on the
outcome of Monday's NCAA basketball championship in which our awesome Illini
team lost to North Carolina 75-70.
"If I lose, I will pay him one Eli's cheesecake , one bushel
of southern Illinois peaches and one dozen Parky's Chicago hot dogs," Topinka
told this reporter. "If he loses, he pays me one eastern North Carolina barbecue
dinner consisting of chopped pork barbecue in a vinegar-based sauce and a couple
of dozen hush puppies."
Pay the piper, Judy, it ain't like you bet the farm . . . or the State of
Illinois Building!

Politics Counts: The Red/Blue Retail Divide
It's nice to think that the holidays are bigger than politics. With a long, hard election behind us, the healing can begin as Democrats and Republicans unite in an annual binge of communal consumerism.
Alas, it's not that simple. America's red/blue divide goes deeper than the ballot box.
The socio-economic targeting and demographic slicing that are all the rage now in Washington actually have their roots in consumer marketing. And as the commercial niche-ing practices have grown (and grown better), the red/blue divide has become another way for retailers to better understand where to place their ads and their stores.

Samut Prakarn, ThailandKirsty Turner
Located 29 kilometres south of Bangkok, Samut Prakan is easy to get to and has many interesting tourist activities on offer for those who are willing to take a small step off the usual tourist trail. Built during the Ayutthaya period, Samut Prakan is home to numerous historical and cultural sites.
A great way to get an overview of all that Thailand has to offer is by visiting The Ancient City, which is also known by its Thai name of Muang Boran. This huge park contains large scale models of all Thailand's major tourist attractions. Visitors can hire a bicycle or a small electrical cart and spend a few hours discovering sites such as the temples of Ayutthaya, Sukhothai and Surat Thani.
Many visitors combine a trip to The Ancient City with the nearby Crocodile Farm, while the Erawan Museum was constructed by the creator of The Ancient City and is the world's first free-standing metal sculpture to use a hand-shaped technique. This mighty sculpture has to be seen to be believed as it measures 43.60 metres in height and contains hundreds of thousands of pieces of copper meticulously hammered together to form the shape of the beloved mythological elephant.
An alternative to the popular tourist spot of Damnoen Saduak, the Bang Namphueng Floating Market is newly opened. Unlike other floating markets, this is the real deal, created to help local farmers sell their produce and create employment for the community. The floating market is open Saturdays and Sundays 8.00 a.m. – 2.00 p.m.
Samut Prakarn is home to some interesting temples, including Wat Klang Worawihan, Wat Asokaram, Wat Phaichayonphonsep Ratchaworawihan and Wat Prot Ket Chettharam, which contains revered Buddha images and the Buddha's footprint complete with valuable mother-of-pearl inlays.
Samut Prakarn is home to many unique and interesting festivals, which bring people from all over Thailand. Beginning the 5th day of the waning moon of the 11th lunar month, the Phra Samut Chedi Fair is a lively annual affair. Many people flock to the province for the nine day ceremony where they pay homage to the Phra Samut Chedi. The festival features a float contest and a colourful boat procession along the Chao Phraya River to Phra Pradaeng District Office and back to the Phra Samut Chedi. Other activities include a candle light procession around the Phra Samut Chedi, boat races on the Chao Phraya River, singing and dancing.
The Yon Bua Festival is held each year on the 13th day of the waxing moon of the 11th lunar month. The main feature is the respect paying and procession of the Luangpho To image both by land and water. The event also features competitions of folk activities such as lotus arrangement, boat contests and folk entertainment such as Phleng Ruea or boat songs.

Jadeveon Clowney bench presses less than a punter at NFL Combine
Pat O'Donnell, a punter from Miami (Fla.), came to the NFL Combine and bench pressed 225 pounds 23 times.
Jadeveon Clowney's reps: 21.
MORE: Clowney runs 4.47 unofficial 40 | HAYES: Does Clowney have heart to be NFL elite?
For all the talk about what he'll do in the 40-yard dash, Clowney was quite underwhelming on the bench press. There were only 13 defensive linemen this year who had fewer reps than Clowney and 36 had as many or more. Compare Clowney's numbers to Mario Williams', who in the 2006 Combine had 35 reps.
What does it mean? Who knows, other than it's clear Clowney either lacks the strength or strength endurance to push past a below average performance in this one test. It's worth noting, though, that Clowney has long arms — 34-1/2 inches — which makes reps harder to come by. For instance, running back Jerrick McKinnon from Georgia Southern had 32 reps, but his arms are only 30-1/4 inches long.
PHOTOS: Scenes from the Combine
At 6-5 and 266 pounds, Clowney will surely prove to be one of the fastest linemen at the Combine. It's his speed that has allowed him to blow by offensive tackles en route to the quarterback. He was often double- and triple-teamed this year and his numbers reflected that. Now we see that he may not have been physically strong enough to overpower that kind of pressure, too.
Clowney's college coach at South Carolina pointed out last week that Clowney has room to get stronger and add to his frame. He also said that Clowney's work ethic was "just OK."
"I don't have much to say about it," Clowney told reporters at the Combine. "That's just (his) opinion. I believe I did work hard. If you watch the tape, everybody can see I'm playing hard."
In Spurrier's defense, he never said that Clowney didn't play hard. In fact, he said once the ball is snapped, Clowney is one of the most explosive players the game has seen.
Right now, though, he's just not a strong one. At least not at the Combine.
In other Clowney news, the top-five prospect from Rock Hill, S.C. told ESPN.com that he hopes to be drafted by Atlanta.
"I wish (the Falcons) could trade up for me," he said. "I hope I don't fall to No. 6. I like Atlanta— a lot. They're pretty good. They've got some guys from South Carolina on the team, also. And it's close to home."

Re: Good quality Nike shox shoes with factory price
there is also something called an R4 ( revolution for Ds) it looks exaclty like a ds game chip but u can download about 30 games on there ( depending on how many GB u have on your card if u have 1 Gb u can probably only get about 19 games) Okay so with an R4 u can download any game u want. Its less obvious when u cheat and hack than an action replay because it goes into your ds like any other game chip. cheats are downloaded with the game and its very convienent.

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Rich pour: Brain balances physics of the drink
A. Complex hand-eye coordination guides your hand's couple of dozen bones, muscles and nerves with a flexibility and finesse unmatched in the animal world, says Mark Denny in Froth! The Science of Beer. Fully a quarter of your brain's motor cortex is devoted to fulfilling this seemingly effortless articulation.
Muscles in your hand and forearm control your grip on the glass. Sensory feedback from your fingertips lets you make fine adjustments to the glass without tilting it, crushing it, or spilling any of the brew. Then you gently tip the liquid at just the right angular rate to pour it comfortably down your capacious gullet.
This is tricky stuff: For one thing, the beer is quite close to your eyes, which you may even have closed in an ecstacy of appreciation. Yet all of this happens automatically.
"I once observed a student at an Edinburgh University bar drink a pint of beer while standing on his head– difficult to do even when sober, which this gentleman was not" writes Denny. "Not only did he need to balance using just one arm for support, he also had to carefully bring the beer to his lips without spilling it up his nose. After his success, the appreciative and inebriated audience applauded."
Q. At Boston's Public Gardens, caretakers puzzled over why the eggs of a much-loved swan couple never hatched. Then came the embarrassing answer... –R. M. Brown
A. Both swans turned out to be female, then dubbed Juliet and Juliet, says David G. Myers in Psychology in Everyday Life. At least occasional same-sex relations have been observed in hundreds of species, including grizzlies, gorillas, monkeys, flamingos, owls, and penguins (New York City's Central Park Zoo's Silo and Roy). Among rams, for example, some 6 to 10 percent (to sheep-breeders, the "duds") shun ewes and instead seek out other males. "Some degree of such behavior seems to be a natural part of the animal world," Meyers writes.
Q. "There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary numerals, and those who don't." What's wrong with the speaker's math here? –S. Hawking
A. Nothing at all, nor with his sense of whimsy either, as presented by Ian Stewart in Professor Stewart's Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities. The "10" here is a binary number as used internally in all modern computers (in base-2) whose numerals "translate" into (1 x 2) + (0 x 1) = 2. (Our everyday decimal system uses base-10). In other words, the missing eight kinds of people are for those who don't understand binary numerals, which of course isn't you, right?
Q. In recent baseball history, a triple play occurred in which no defensive player touched the ball. A player could have been struck by it, however. How was this accomplished? –G. Triandos
A. Major league records of all past triple plays show no such listing, according to the Society of American Baseball Research. However, in a 1987 issue of The National Pastime, an article entitled "Look Ma, No Hands" described the following stranger-than-fiction play from a girls' softball tournament: "With runners on first and second, the batter hit a high pop fly toward the shortstop, who had trouble finding the ball in the sun. The umpire called 'Infield Fly.' That's one out. The runner on first, seeing that the ball was going to drop, put her head down and ran, passing the runner on second. That's two out. The runner on second, hearing footsteps, advanced a few feet off the base, turned to remonstrate with her over-zealous teammate, and was hit by the ball as it descended. That's one-two-three, and the side was out."

IRAN'S dreams of a place in the last 16 of the World Cup were ended by goals from Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, Miralem Pjanic and Avdija Vrsajevic as Bosnia-Herzegovina's tournament ended with a 3-1 win.
The Europeans had already made history in reaching the World Cup for the first time in their country's short existence while Iran, who had won just one of 11 previous games at the tournament, were looking to set their own landmark by making it through to the knockout stage.
Group F winners Argentina kept their side of the bargain by beating Nigeria but Iran never looked like securing the victory they needed to progress and Reza Ghoochannejhad's late consolation was immediately followed by Bosnia's third from Vrsajevic - a first for his country.
Dzeko looked lively early on so it was no surprise when he opened the scoring after 23 minutes.
Iran's solid defence against Argentina had won plaudits even in defeat to a late Lionel Messi goal but with victory imperative in Salvador they left themselves a lot more open and Bosnia had no trouble exposing them.
Pjanic was given plenty of time to pick out Dzeko, himself afforded too much space, and the Manchester City striker set off on a diagonal run from right to left before shooting past Alireza Haghighi from 25 yards.
Iran almost produced the perfect immediate response with Masoud Shojaei's shot cannoning back off the crossbar with Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic beaten but Ghoochannejhad was thankful an offside flag meant his botched attempt to convert the rebound was irrelevant.
Bosnia retained a degree of control and late in the half right-back Vrsajevic scuffed a shot wide of the far post with Vedad Ibisevic visibly annoyed he did not cross to him just outside the six-yard box.
Their second - which finally put paid to Iran's chances - just short of the hour was self-inflicted as Jalal Hosseini gave away possession in his own half and was severely punished as Tino Susic provided the pass for Pjanic, who was borderline offside, to slide home.
Ghoochannejhad struck with eight minutes to go but there was not even time for Iran to consider an unlikely comeback before Vrsajevic drilled home Bosnia's third from a narrow angle.

Portland-based chef Andy Ricker, known in the foodie world for his Southeast Asian cooking prowess, has opened the much anticipated hole in the wall Pok Pok Wing on the Lower East Side in New York City. This tiny wing shack will be serving the famous Ike's Vietnamese Fish Sauce wings that have gotten bi-coastal foodies abuzz. As of yesterday, New Yorkers willing to wait in the cold, as there are only a few stools available in the spot that was formerly BaoHaus, can get a taste of the small menu, which offers: Papaya Pok Pok, a spicy green papaya salad, Kaho Man Som Tam, a green papaya salad with coconut rice and sweet shredded pork, and sticky rice.
As for beverages, booze aren't being served yet (they don't even have gas at this point), choose from Portland's finest Pok Pok Som Drinking Vinegars and Stumptown coffee. We're looking forward to the Kafae Boraan Yen, in particular--it's Thai-style sock-brewed Stumptown coffee with condensed milk. Classic Thai coffee made over!
And, that's about it, folks! The menu is small and simple, yet something tells us the offerings will be packed with flavor and a little (or a lot of) kick. Pok Pok Wing is quite possibly downtown's newest foodie gem.
Keep this on your foodie radar: Ricker's full-scale restaurant Pok Pok NY is also on its way--grand opening TBD.
Tune in to the "hole in the wall" episode of "1st Look" Saturday after "Saturday Night Live" on NBC!

I think the research in the paper is good and can agree the story about journalists helping to expose some pedophile priests was made up. I do have some questions about his genealogy research that I want to address in another topic.
But this is on the second to last page:
It should have been pretty easy to do. Really?So how do we explain that? Well, logically, it indicates one of three things: either the Church was completely in on it from the start, they were infiltrated, or they were blackmailed into silence.What do I mean by blackmailed? Well, if the Church wasn't in on it, and was only a target, we would have expected them to have blown the project completely. They would have gone on TV and told everyone these priests and bishops weren't real Catholics and weren't working for them. It should have been pretty easy to do. Except for one thing: it would require blowing the MATRIX entirely. If you go on TV and tell the world that top state officials and wealthy families are staging major show trials and placing huge fake stories in the top newspapers, you have just blown not only the current project, but all projects—including your own.
The rest of the quote also shows his lack of understanding about how the "MATRIX" works. It could have written by another person than the one doing the research.
And then this:
Does someone interested in the truth have to justify why he doesn't support a project based entirely on deception? A project that has an impact not only on Catholics but on all people, as he showed earlier?Of course this begs a very big question, one I cannot really dodge after all I have said above. If I admit the Catholic Church is part of the big historical con, why shouldn't I support this project run against it?
As a reader, I would say that this is really unnecessary, actually a waste of his time. I would suppose his supporters would agree.
And what about the content of his justification? It boils down to this: They are evil but still better than the "plutocrats", their supposed opponents. I am open to that but can you really hope to show that in 2 paragraphs? I am not impressed:
??...Catholics, who have given us some of the greatest art
in history... The church was honest.
OK this should be taken into context, he is obviously referring to a particular period in history and on a particular subject. Probably a time when the church was more powerful than today. But then why should it have weight on Miles' behavior today ? Earlier he wrote that the church cons the masses each day and depends on the MATRIX for his daily existence.
What do native English speakers think of his use of the word "admit" in the second quote? Notice that he has not brought any evidence for his claims about the church.
Instead of this waste of time, I would have liked him to explore the other interesting possibilities he mentioned:
'Either the Church was completely in on it from the start, they were infiltrated,'
Did the church had anything to gain with this particular hoax? Possibly, It could have drawn the public attention away from real victims and perpetrators. Because it was fake there was zero risk that secrets would be brought to light. In other words: everything was controlled.
An interesting question that he didn't ask is "was it a reality that "the church" covered up cases of pedophilia, thereby putting more children at risk?. I think so. I am not exactly defending the Catholics here but keep in mind that it is the majority religion for my country and for my family.
Staying close to the subject of the paper, I was wondering if anybody would like to take a closer look at a world famous pedophile from Belgium, Marc Dutroux. I find it hard to do myself, but I could help providing the stories. There is a conspiracy theory that I think most Belgians who want to know the truth take very seriously, with much support in the mainstream media. It contains much more horrible elements than the official theory. But it is entirely possible that both the official and the conspiracy theories contain fabrications, possibly to protect other pedophiles.
One of the most silly stories was his escape on 23/4/1998 that led directly to the resignation of 2 top ministers and a historical police reform.
Another silly story: Marc Dutroux made a home video of himself building a secret room in his basement, where he would hold his victims captive. During a home search the video was seized by the police. Had they watched it, 2 of his victims would have survived. It was sent to a laboratory where there was no video player available, so it was not watched for a year.
Here is a list of names of important characters:
Marc Dutroux (Du trou= from the hole)
Michelle Martin: his wife and accomplice
Michel Lelièvre: accomplice, betrays him after arrest (Le lièvre= the hare)
Bernard Weinstein: former accomplice, murdered by Dutroux after being drugged (wein=wine stein=stone, Zweinstein is the name of the school of witchcraft, Hogworts in the Dutch translation of Harry Potter)
Michel Nihoul: convicted swindler with the face of a gangster, gangleader of Dutroux according to the conspiracy theory, but only convicted of selling drugs to him
Michel Bourlet: 1 of the 4 judges investigating the case
Michel Bouffioux: investigative journalist, one of the 3 most important proponents of the conspiracy theory
Michel Fourniret: French serial killer without direct connection to Dutroux but with many, many similarities, was also investigated by both Michel Bourlet and Michel Bouffioux
Rene Michaux: policeman in charge of shadowing Dutroux, accused of protecting him or at least being incompetent, national scapegoat
Stéphane Michaux: forester that discovered Dutroux after his escape, national hero
Michel (pronounced just like Michelle Obama) is not an unusual name in Belgium but not that common. In my Thunderbird address book I counted only 1 Michel for 1394 e-mail addresses.
Here is a video that covers the entire case, including the conspiracy theory. It is clearly professionally made, with a narrator with a Britisch accent, but I am unable to find the source. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGCwVniRPkQ
There is a rumor about plans to make a Hollywood movie about it: http://nordpresse.be/marc-dutroux-au-ci ... stan-bale/

Yesterday, a press release about MedTees went out on the wire. Unbelieveable interest and TONS of wonderful comments by LOTS of folks, and with this came some fantastic suggestions from Bruce Rand, a moderator for a site concerned with GI disorders, particularly inflammatory bowel disease. We immedicately began posting some of his suggestions on MedTees. You can see them here.
Seems there's an incredible spirit out there, doesn't it? Folks afflicted with such tough problems, yet keeping their heads above it all. Completely and utterly awesome.
It reminds me of a story (courtesy of our church's pastor, Rev. Gil Bowen):
"One man tells how he and his wife visited an elderly woman in a hospital bed who spoke appreciatively of the light coming into her room towards the end of the day, of the colors of the flowers on the window counter, of her deep satisfaction with her life, of her pleasure in her loved ones, of her gratitude for our simple ordinary visit. On the way out, with a wink and a smile, she got me at a weak moment to contribute to our favorite charities. Then we stopped briefly at a social gathering where I met a young man in the prime of his success and health, who had so magnified some alleged, imagined, or perhaps real trickery of chicanery on the part of business associates, that he had worked himself into a rancor of bitterness, making himself a very miserable person. What a contrast. "
What's the secret then to being like the old woman? I'm not sure its the MedTees site, but perhaps it will help us keep our healh problems in perspective and continue to enjoy the good things we still have.
Have a great day-

Double cardanic curved-tooth gear coupling®
Separable coupling design
Sleeve can be axially displaced in assembled condition
Operative range -25° C to +100° C
Maintenance-free due to material combination nylon/steel"
BoWex® Curved-tooth gear couplings® are flexible shaft connections for a
positive torque transmission and specifically suitable to compensate for
axial, radial and angular shaft misalignment. According to the well-known effect of curved-tooth gear couplings® any edge pressure in the spline in case of angular and radial displacements is avoided so that BoWex® couplings are almost free from wear.
The smooth and hard surface (crystalline structure) and the high thermal stability and resistance to lubricants, fuels, hydraulic fluids, dissolvents, etc. make polyamide an ideal material for components stressed by sliding, particularly for the coupling production.
While any metallic materials tend to "corrode" in case of dry running, slide combinations with polyamide and steel are operative without any lubrication and maintenance.
The material polyamide allows for maintenance-free continuous operation with very low friction on the teeth.
Due to the double cardanic operation of BoWex® couplings restoring forces may be neglected in case of angular and radial displacements and periodic fluctuations in angular velocity do not arise.
BoWex® couplings can be assembled both vertically or horizontally with no need for any special assembly tools.

Knit and Sweaters
An overlooked classic
A good sweater, a casual cardigan or a classic sweater is essential menswear in man's wardrobe. But why are there not more men, who prioritize the sweater? Often the sweater just something you wish for when the old ones are worn out. But a cardigan or sweater should be an essential part of the wardrobe.
Knit and sweaters are incredibly versatile and can be combined in many ways. Combine a pullover with a shirt and a pair of shorts to the mild summer, or use a cardigan with a shirt and a tie for a smart-casual party attire. Or have you heard of layering? Wear a shirt with tie and cardigan with a blazer in addition to last for a complete outfit for a style-conscious man. We encourage and invite you to spread the good style and think knitwear into your next outfit.
More than a warm sweater
At Bertoni of Denmark our knitwear range is a balance between design, comfort and quality to the man who knows what he wants. Explore pullovers, sweaters with v-necks, o-necks, turtlenecks and other knitwear for men here.

< Changes
SSD cache
Using recent kernel (3.9 and later) features for (fast) SSD caching of (slow) ordinary hard disks. Currently two kinds of SSD caching are available in the Linux kernel: bcache and dm-cache. In Fedora 20 basic bcache support is provided by the "bcache-tools" package, this page now provides suggestions on how to move forward in Fedora 21.
The main suggestion is to implement bcache support in Anaconda, which allows easy installation of Fedora on "bcached" root-FS.
Moving forward with dm-cache is not covered by this page, because the LVM team already plans to integrate dm-cache support in LVM2. See http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2014-January/msg00072.html
- Name: Rolf Fokkens
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Release notes owner:
Current status
Detailed Description
Recent Linux kernels support the use of Solid State Drives as caches for rotational hard disks. Because the high cost per GB for SSD devices this feature may bring the best of both: fast end big yet affordable storage capacity. Linux kernel 3.9 introduced dm-cache, kernel 3.10 introduces bcache.
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora will support SSD's in a way that brings the speed of SSD's to the user, while also bringing the capacity of HDD's. The user however does not need to plan what data to put where (SSD or HDD): the Linux kernel will take care of that based on the usage patern.
- Proposal owners: Enable caching features in new kernels
- Other developers: Support the caching features in their respective packages. Special focus should be on making the system boot from a cached root FS.
- Release engineering: All packages should operate in close harmony to make this work. Only a rebuild of the relevant packages is required.
- Policies and guidelines: No changes I think.
Upgrade/compatibility impact
Implementing a caching root FS using bcache requires a reinstall for sure, because bcache requires its own superblock on disks/volumes!
All existing Fedora functionality remains as is.
How To Test
Testing involves doing a clean install of Fedora, while configuring in anaconda a cached root FS. After the installation the cache state should be checked (if it is operational or not.
Additional tests:
- run benchmarks (see performance improvement over non cached storage)
- update the kernel (see if dracut builds a functional initramfs including caching
- ...
User Experience
Users should experience improved storage performance.
Although the kernel supports SSD caching, the other mentioned packages should be changed to support this and make it really work.
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: Revert the shipped configuration of the relevant packages.
- Contingency deadline: beta freeze
- Blocks release? No

Hi all,
Im new to this forum. My GF and i are adopting a Lab/pitbull mix from a local shelter. She is approx. 6 months old and is a real sweetheart. Apparently she was recently found leashed to a parking meter so she's had kind of a hard life so far. We're gonna give her a great home and being right next to central park, a great place to take her to play and for walks. We just want to know more specificlly about the behavior traits that come with such a dog being mixed with a pit, things we should be aware and any training tips. Any info would be a great help to us. thanks!

maddy & ali
Maddy and Ali were up for a fun Engagement session (which is what I like to hear!) so we headed for their local park and more importantly... the playground! We then took a wander up the road into Warwick and found a cute little garden next to Warwick Castle that you had to make a donation before you had a look round. I had such a lovely afternoon with the pair of them and I really can't wait for their wedding next year!
Oh and don't you think Maddy looks a little like a certain someone that used to be on Big Brother? :)

Charlotte and Owen are the sweetest couple... they are getting married next month and due to their jobs, have been living apart... Owen in Birmingham and Charlotte in London so it was sooo lovely to spend a few hours getting some yummy photos of them together.
Charlotte is also one of my FurCoatNoKnickers brides so I'm pretty excited about the big day!

kelly & somik
Kelly is another one of my bride's that has been with me from the very beginning. She got in contact back in November last year and we have been emailing back and forth.... but what you don't expect is an email six months before the wedding saying... 'There's a bit of an issue with our venue... ummm... it's burnt down'. So a frantic search to find a new venue began and when Kelly came back saying that they'd found somewhere and it was The Hospital Club in Covent Garden I was a wee bit excited! Not only is this place a funky, unusual space with amazing food but after spending the day there I would recommend Caz and her wonderful team to everyone! Easily the best wedding coordinator I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
The actual wedding ceremony was held at Bromley Public Hall and if you see the picture of Arthur Lovell (10th image down)... that can be found in the entrance of the hall and is actually Kelly's Great-Grandfather. On Armistice Day in 1928 Arthur saved a child from being run over by a truck and was killed himself. It was a big story at the time and his portrait is there in his memory. It seemed such a lovely tribute to him that his Great-Granddaughter was getting married there and one of Kelly's close friends read the story of what happened in the ceremony.
It was such a lovely day and I think both Kelly and Somik would agree that the new venue ended up simply perfect and once everyone had eaten the gorgeous wedding breakfast and listened to some fantastic speeches the evening kicked off with another very funny photo booth!

I've read several things alluding to him becoming more of a hermit and acting
strangely. That's all speculation though, are there any more direct sources regarding
what happened after the GD fiasco? Particularly regarding the order Alpha et Omega?

BURG looks a lot better and user friendly than GRUB, at the same time it get the job done.
Why Ubuntu have not switched to it?

BURG looks a lot better and user friendly than GRUB, at the same time it get the job done.
Why Ubuntu have not switched to it?
BURG is a one-man fork of GRUB. GRUB is the primary project with an active development community. I don't intend to ever switch Ubuntu to BURG; I would rather focus on improving GRUB.
Look at the commit activity of the two projects (quickest way:
bzr log lp:burg vs.
bzr log lp:grub/grub2). BURG has only had five commits in the last six months - to all intents and purposes, it's moribund. Over the same time period, GRUB has had just over five hundred commits.
BURG did some useful things with themes, although GRUB has most of that - it just doesn't ship them by default, which IIRC was due to licensing problems. BURG supported a different installation mode which helped some people, but now that GRUB has Reed-Solomon encoding and the ability to skip certain sectors in the boot track this shouldn't generally be needed. There are a handful of other small improvements. None of them justify losing the fantastic GRUB community.
Incidentally, I'd thoroughly encourage reporting the reasons you feel BURG is superior to GRUB as bugs on GRUB.
Because BURG is not ready to be deployed on this many machines. It's very early in it's development, and I'm sure later on, say when they have reached a beta version, people will start to look into it.
Check burgs Project Page on Launchpad to keep up with development(s).
As people have pointed out, the boot loader can be considered the most important part of a system. If it doesn't work correctly, none of your operating systems will start. This is why this type of software has to be extremely mature before it gets deployed on a massive scale.
Colin Watson (one of the Ubuntu grub maintainers) also has more information in his answer.
Another, more current reason why BURG might not have been switched to is that it appears to be an abandoned project. The last commit to trunk as of this writing was all the way back in 2010.
Without continued development, new features and - more importantly - bug fixes to make BURG work better with newer hardware and software simply aren't happening. Unless development resumes or the project is forked, there's little chance it will be accepted.
