Wayland student returns from capitol internship with vivid memories
T. J. Messer knew his fall in the nation's capitol would mean great experience and exposure to the political arena. What he did not know was that he'd have a front-row seat to the heart of a rebuilding country.
A senior at Wayland Baptist University, Messer spent his fall interning with Congressman Mac Thornberry in Washington, D.C. A political science major from Amarillo, Messer was excited to have an opportunity to witness firsthand the political process. He was in for much more.
Messer arrived in Washington on Sept. 4 and was still settling into his duties in Thornberry's office when the nation was rocked by a terrorist attack on Sept. 11. He remembers that day vividly.
"I was going to go hear Laura Bush give a speech to the Senate committee on education and was really excited," he recalled. "I'd arrived at the Senate building and gone to the food court for coffee when I saw the TVs showing the first plane crash (into the World Trade Center)."
Messer said almost immediately the Secret Service guards announced the event's cancellation. He opted to walk the short distance to his apartment and freshen up before returning to the congressional office. Turning on the TV at home, he saw coverage of the crash hitting the Pentagon and knew things were about to change drastically. The office called to say federal buildings were being evacuated and he was to stay at home.
"It was weird to see congressmen escorted out of town by police. My roommate, who was also a Christian, and I decided just to kneel and pray. We knew God would take care of us," he said.
Being just two blocks from the Capitol, Messer and his roommate were able to witness the mass exodus of government staff persons. It was several hours before they could get through the jammed phone lines to let family and friends back home know they were OK.
The next day, Messer participated in a candlelight gathering in front of the capitol along with about 8,000 others including congressmen and staff persons. The group eventually walked down to the White House, he said, and some hung a large American flag over the White House fence.
Washington would never be the same.
"Security was unbelievably tight after that. They had blocked off all the streets around the capitol, so there was much less traffic," he said, adding that the event also changed the politicians he worked with during the semester. "A lot of the time you hear about bickering and partisan wars, but the day of the attack until now you just see a government that is really working together for the good and not fighting."
Messer said that change plus the resurgence in patriotism made for an interesting time to be at the nation's capitol. The events of Sept. 11 also meant subtle changes in his duties as an intern. For the most part, he was responsible for going through mail to the congressman, attending press conferences, taking notes, helping give tours and arranging for flags to be flown. When the anthrax scare threatened government mail, Messer said that part of his job slowed to almost nothing for a while. And the offices themselves were closed for a full week while crews made sure no officials were in danger.
While in Washington, Messer said he got to visit the usual tourist attractions and took a side trip to Baltimore, Maryland, where he participated by cell phone in a Thornberry staff meeting while standing on a street corner. He also got to hear Vice President Dick Cheney give a speech and visited with Attorney General John Ashcroft one Sunday at church. Though he never got to personally meet President George W. Bush, he did get to see him at the national Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
Messer said the experience just enhanced his desire to work in the political arena, though he hasn't decided for sure whether he'd like to be in Texas or in Washington.
"While I was there, all I could think about was getting back to Texas. I missed Nancy (his new wife) and my family," he said. "But now, all I think about is going back."

Disaster Preparedness for Cultural Heritage Institutions
With the physical devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina still a fresh memory for so many, cultural heritage institutions such as libraries, museums, archives, and historical societies are taking more concerted measures to prepare for future natural disasters. Division of Preservation and Access Director Nadina Gardner and Senior Program Officer Laura Word spoke to 30 Congressional staffers at the Cannon House Office Building on Thursday, August 9th about the National Endowment for the Humanities' involvement in disaster preparedness and response for cultural institutions.
NEH's White House Liaison and Director of Congressional Affairs Courtney Chapin introduced the session and was followed by Special Assistants to the Chairman Caitlin Green and Claire Noble who presented testimonials of two NEH grantees, the San Diego Archaeological Center and the Carbon County Museum of Rawlings, Wyoming. Ms. Green and Ms. Noble were followed by Senior Program Officer Kathleen Mitchell of the Office of Federal/State Partnership, who discussed funding opportunities at the state level and State Humanities Councils' disaster response efforts during Hurricane Katrina.
Next, Nadina Gardner and Laura Word were joined by Lori Foley, Vice President for Emergency Programs of Heritage Preservation, a national non-profit organization based in Washington, DC, that is dedicated to preserving the cultural heritage of the United States and also an NEH grant recipient. Director Gardner gave a brief description of NEH's 20-year history of awarding emergency grants to help salvage cultural heritage collections after presidentially declared disasters. She then made note of the three grant programs in the Division of Preservation and Access that fund activities related to disaster preparedness: Education and Training, Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions, and Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections.
Laura Word highlighted some of the grants made in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the Midwest floods of 2008, including Beauvoir, the Jefferson Davis Home and Library in Biloxi, Mississippi, and the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She also discussed how an Education and Training grant given to the Western States and Territories Preservation Assistance Service to fund the presentation of disaster preparedness courses helped ensure that the cultural institutions of American Samoa were able to save their collections after the tsunami of 2009.
Lori Foley discussed Heritage Preservation's work as a grantee creating essential resources for disaster preparedness, such as the Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel and the Field Guide to Emergency Response. She also described the work of its program, the Alliance for Response, which holds forums to forge city-wide partnerships between cultural heritage managers and first responders. In addition, she mentioned the consultation on emergency preparedness and response available to cultural institutions through the Regional Alliance for Preservation, a nationwide organization of regional preservation field services.

"It's got a black man on it with no shirt on, and he's got his arm in a cast and black pants on," she told a dispatcher. "He's beating on the back of this truck window. I don't know if he's trying to break in or something. It just looks crazy. It's a girl driving it.".
This ensures that the ball will not slip through your fingers. Locking your pinkies prevents the football from falling through your hands. Once you have the football in your hands scoop it up and tuck it away. I exhale what seems to be the whole of a Northwest winter. I walk to the corner store and come back the long way. Twigs from last night's bluster clutter the sidewalk.
One of the fundamental aspects of running with a football is ball security. Football teams have lost many games because a couple of players were lax in there ball carrying and fumbled the football. A great way to teach tight ball security is with four points.
Second, bend your knees and get low. Third, once you have caught the ball, tuck it away as soon as possible. Keep your eyes right on the ball. McCarthy ruled twotime Pro Bowl wide receiver Greg Jennings (groin injury) will not play against the Colts on Sunday. The Colts plan to honor coach Chuck Pagano by selling Tshirts, handing out wristbands and promoting a blood drive.

Sounds like you could have some great bee yards csalt! Of course citrus just finished so I'd make sure there's plenty of other forage in the area before you move the bees in. Gallberry starts next week which makes a fine honey....any of that around?Scott
Keeping the bees and getting the honey is the easy part (and fun!) :-D. The hard part is the marketing. If you can find a niche and sell tiny corked miracle bottles of magic organic wound-healing enzyme-packed liquid gold harvested from tiny angels with stings, you'll do great!Ok, that is a bit thick, but IMHO the most important part really is marketing. Developing niches and the types of customers who are loyal. I'm not a marketing guy at all, and I can't do that, so I'm not going to be a full time beekeeper. I think that big operations can produce mass quantities to make it worthwhile at lower prices, but I think the smaller honey producers need a niche to thrive. To be both a successful physical laborer and a marketing guru is tricky and I think a rare trait.There's also queens, nucs, pollination, honey/wax products, etc.As to your overall question...I think that the nation as a whole is moving away from an agrarian society as we have for a long time. Economies of scale eliminate farmers and ranchers, and I don't think that honeybees scale as well which would explain why the #beeks and the # hives are both decreasing. There is so much uncertainty to farming so it is simpler to just have a 8-5 job (or was before last year!!).
I have found that a lot of the younger people just don't eat honey. They did not really know what to do with it.
Quote from: AllenF on April 14, 2010, 11:25:52 pmI have found that a lot of the younger people just don't eat honey. They did not really know what to do with it. Of comb honey, I've actually had a couple of 20 somethings ask, "What do you do with it?" :jawdrop: This newer generation has no clue!

A young teacher has been going through hell. Her hearing was this week and she sent me this e-mail account of it. She has reasons not to post on her own blog.
First of all, of course I am right. The advocate was very good and did a good job of nailing the principal . I had everything documented and had pictures. We caught them in many lies.
Unfortunately, this is a kangaroo court procedure, so it will probably side with the principal. But I am fine with that. I basically wanted to have the satisfaction of making Principal Tyrant look like an idiot.
She made me and my mentor look like idiots. I wanted to nail and trip her up over every lie.
Something bad happened in my personal life today and the only thing that stops me from crying is remembering Principal Tyrant's growls and snarls over the telephone today.

"On Screen: Global Intimacy" brought together 10 artists from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the United States whose works investigate the transnational reach of globalization. Working primarily in video, they project images that traverse national boundaries and highlight the confluence of cultures and technologies that mark our time. These artists engage globalism as lived experience, questioning tradition and modernity.
Guest curator: Tumelo Mosaka, organized by the Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois
Artists: Tiong Ang, Alex Hernandez-Duenas, Andrew Dosunmu, Achilleka Komguem, Donna Kukama, Mendi + Keith Obadike, Kambui Olujimi, Hank Willis Thomas and Fatimah Tuggar.
"On Screen: Global Intimacy" was organized by Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The exhibition and programming were sponsored by Frances P. Rohlen Visiting Artists Fund/College of Fine and Applied Arts; Illinois Arts Council; Krannert Art Museum Director's Circle; Krannert Art Museum Council; the School of Art and Design Visitors Series; and the Center for African Studies (with support of the US Department of Education Title VI grant). Additional support for the exhibition was provided by the H&R Block Foundation and the Missouri Arts Council.

"(Re)Form" explored recent work by graduates of the KCAI ceramics program from the late 1960s to the present.
Curated by Catherine L. Futter, the Helen Jane and R. Hugh "Pat" Uhlmann Curator of Decorative Arts at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the exhibition included pieces primarily in ceramics that have been completed in the last two years and display a wide range of perspectives.
The artists invited to participate in the exhibition include well-known, mid-career and emerging artists who offer a variety of viewpoints — from the vessel and functional work to sculptures, installations and performance art.
Victor Babu, retired professor of ceramics, described the ceramics program at KCAI: "There was a nice mix of information pouring into the department. The students ended up, along with the faculty, in some kind of soup to which flavors were being added, and it got richer and richer and more complex."
"(Re)Form" demonstrates the diversity of artistic expression in KCAI's vibrant ceramics program.
Dan Teran
As part of the exhibition, "Massys' Venus" by Terri Frame was performed and recorded at the Artspace in October 2010.

Photo – A cover photo by Janet Iles of the Greenwood Cemetery in Owen Sound, which was once known as the "People's Cemetery". Read more about its history in "On the Cover" on page 34 of this issue.
The Ontario Genealogical Society's journal, Families (of which I am the editor) was released in February of this year.
As usual, there were two themes to this issue – Ontario Cemeteries, and Ontario Heritage.
The excerpt was from the book, A Better Place: Death and Burial in Nineteenth-Century Ontario, by Susan Smart in which Chapter 6: The Establishment of Cemeteries in Three Towns (the three towns were Peterborough, Kingston, and Niagara-on-the-Lake) was reprinted in full. Plus, a book review was written about the book on page 32.
To continue the cemetery theme, two more articles about Ontario - Rambles Around Some Halton-Peel Cemeteries by Dorothy Kew, in which she gives an excellent review (with photos) of cemeteries of Halton-Peel, and an article, Changing Gravestone Motifs in Quinte and Beyond by Peter Johnson, in which he describes the "changing motif" on gravestones through the centuries – and there are fourteen photos in the paper!
Ontario Heritage
Three papers were published in acknowledgement of Ontario Heritage Day in February, and they were - Family History of a Caribbean Canadian by Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, in which he traces the life of Tom Ashby; Why and When Had Mary Ann and Joseph Whiteley Moved to Grey County by Catherine Whiteley, in which she traces the life of George Forbes; and Hunting for Hidden History: How Slavery Came to the Town of York by Hilary Dawson, in which she write an account of slavery in York Township.
One other paper, Letters Home: Upper Canada to England by Dr. Bill Mills, give a very gripping account of a homesick Christopher Stokes writing home to his family in Nottinghamshire, England.
Families is available only to members of the Ontario Genealogical Society. There are two membership packages available – a six month term for $35.00, or a full year for $60.00. Memberships are available at www.ogs.on.ca/membership.php
Full issues of Families, including an index, is also available for the years 1962 to 2006 through the "Members Only" portal at

The New York composer and trumpeter will work on new music for his ensemble, as a follow-up to their 2011 release Rivers Music. The ensemble will be performing the piece on the east and west coasts and in the midwest, and Doug will be giving talks on the piece as well as some open rehearsals. Additional funding for CMA comes from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
Brian Chin premiers piece at ITG - Sidney, Australia
Trumpeter Brian Chin has traveled to Sidney, Australia to perform the Bukvich Trumpet Sonata (heard on his latest disc, Universal Language) at the International Trumpet Guild's 2010 Conference. Be sure to check out sound clips from the project here.
The Origin Team traveled to France to attend this year's MIDEM conference. Much business in the works- stay tuned.
Composer Daniel Barry recently returned from the Maramures region of Northern Romania. He spent several days at the home studio of master Romanian singer and instrumentalist Ioan Pop. "The rich tradition of Gypsy and Romanian folk music in this part of the world is very profound. It encompasses joy, pathos, banality, great beauty, serenity and frenzy, nearly all of the elements I'm looking for to continue my work."
OA2 Artist Dan Cavanagh's composition, "From the Barrage Comes Clarity," on John Adler's recent release Confronting Inertia, has been chosen as a Prize Winner by Greece's National Academy of Music during their 'International Music Prizes for Excellence in Composition 2009' competition, and awarded a Gold Medal of Distinction. The winners were announced at the Gala concert, at the Public Theater of Sykies in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Well known throughout his native Germany and in his adopted home of Los Angeles as a consummate composer & arranger for film, orchestras, and his Grammy-nominated Big Band, Chris Walden debuts his first Symphony, an exploration of the primal earth, fire, wind and water concepts, conducting the Hollywood Studio Symphony. Besides his recent Grammy nominations, Walden was honored last year by the American Society of Music Arrangers and Composers, and lauded for his ground-breaking Kurt Marti Suite (Origin 82482) for Big Band and 100-member St. John's choir from Hamburg, Germany.

Our Pet Pharmacy features detailed information on commonly prescribed pet medications. The interested owner can learn how a medication works within the body, how the medication represents an improvement on previously used treatments, and what side effects one should be aware of. Understanding a medication and why it was prescribed is helps a pet owner understand the goals of therapy as well as possible pitfalls.
Many people write in to VeterinaryPartner.com to say "great article, but what is the dosage? I need that part!" It is our policy not to give dosing information over the Internet for many reasons, the most of important of which is that it's not ethical to give dosage amounts for an animal a veterinarian has not examined in person. If the weight given is not correct, or if there are problems unknown to the owner that could contraindicate certain drugs and dosages, dosage suggestions could have serious adverse consequences. It's a violation of most Practice Acts to practice medicine on an unexamined patient, and it is a federal violation to prescribe medication to a patient not examined in the last year, so we hope you understand why we cannot give dosage information.

Wanted: Leadership that Makes a Difference for Small Business0
By Dan Danner
Contributing Columnist
Most of us were taught, as children, that "If something looks too good to be true, it probably is."
Those who own and run their own businesses are particularly mindful of this age-old truth. Which is why many small-business owners and economists alike expressed skepticism when the federal government announced that the jobless rate had declined to 7.8 percent last month, in part due to the sudden creation of nearly one million new jobs. Economists have called it a statistical anomaly, pointing out that the less than two percent pace of growth in the current economy would not generate 800,000 new jobs.
And the "rosy" numbers are belied by all sorts of conflicting reports, like the National Federation of Independent Business' (NFIB) reliable Small Business Optimism Index. The Index showed what small-owners know to be true: in the current tenuous political and economic atmosphere, there is little incentive to increase their employment rolls. NFIB chief economist Bill Dunkelberg noted that a majority of new jobs tallied by the government were part-time positions. "A hollow way to reduce the unemployment rate," he said.
Debatable numbers aside, there is no avoiding the truth that the economy simply is not doing well. At what point did a 7.8 percent unemployment become a good thing? That number is too high and shouldn't be touted as a victory for anyone.
It's past time that Washington, D.C. take notice that the normally-optimistic view and expectations of the small-business community continues to stagnate and even slide. The September NFIB Index remained at a recession-level reading—where it has remained throughout the duration of the "recovery." Job-creation plans plunged six points, job openings fell a point and more firms cut employment than boosted it.
Customers also know the truth. The unfortunate-but-truly bad economy is keeping their spirits low, raising doubts about the ability of the federal government to restore it. A Univ. of Michigan/Reuters survey found nearly half of consumers—46 percent—think the Obama administration is doing a poor job of putting things back on track.
The dysfunctional political climate in Washington is chilling for small-business owners, who continue to operate in maintenance mode: spending only when necessary, not hiring, not expanding, not ordering inventories until the future appears certain. They have a lot at stake in the upcoming election and worry that the outcome could send their tax and regulatory burden flying in the wrong direction.
Tax-and-regulation-happy politicians have wasted no time claiming the recent too-good-to-be-true employment bounce as evidence that their flawed policies have launched a recovery. But don't put much faith in their pop-up data. No real action to boost the economy has been made.
What America's economy needs is political leadership that is actually good enough to be true. That will restore small-business owners' faith in government and, in turn, give them the confidence to rebuild our economy.
Dan Danner is president and CEO of the National Federation of Independent Business, which represents 350,000 small-business owners in Washington, D.C. and every state capital.

The Art of "Yes, But …"

I am not an unusually argumentative person. but it is true that I disagree with people all the time. I disagreed with my husband this morning when we talked about what might be causing our stuffy noses. Right now, at work, we are renegotiating some of our duties and in order to express my opinions, I have to disagree with co-workers and even my boss. I even disagreed with my mother just last night on the phone about what she should pack for her trip to visit me. Now, I don't go out of my way to be contrary, but expressing alternate opinions is a normal part of almost all relationships. Just think about it. Who was the last person you disagreed with? It probably wasn't all that long ago, was it?
Most of these disagreements are no big deal. I mean, just because my husband and I disagree about whether we have colds or allergies, it doesn't mean our marriage is on the rocks. In my culture, disagreeing with my parents about something like a packing list doesn't mean I don't respect or love them. I am just giving a different opinion. So, can we agree that our English interactions are peppered with (usually) minor disagreements?

2010 has been a good year for us. I don't think that we can complain. We started the year off with the good news that we would be having a son come August. I spent the spring and early summer remodeling the nursery to make it perfect. I got to travel to Atlanta in April/May for an awesome baby shower. We anxiously awaited our new addition until the August when he finally decided to grace us with his presence. I can hardly believe that I am sitting here on the last day of 2010 with my 4 month old baby boy. It has been a great ride and I can't say that I would do anything differently. We were lucky enough to have all sets of our parents visit us in Germany (some twice!) and I got to spend almost 6 weeks at home in Atlanta after Thanksgiving. It's been a good year. I am looking forward to everything that 2011 might have in store for us. I don't know how it can get any better than this!Tonight we will ring in the new year quietly with a VERY casual dinner, football games and PERHAPS making it til midnight. My how things can change in just a year! Deaner and I met 5 years ago today so it is a special day for us as well. We head back to Germany on Monday and while that flips me out a bit, I guess it is time to get back home. I never really thought I would refer to it as home but I suppose it has grown on me over the past two years. Hopefully we will enjoy the rest of our time here and I won't act like too big a fool come Monday!! Happy New Year to everyone!!

Hi from Atlanta!
Evans and I are really enjoying our time in Atlanta. Even better is that Deaner will be joining us in less than 48 hours! It has definitely been hard to be away from Daddy for so long. We are both looking forward to picking him up at the airport on Wednesday! Then Deaner and I are really looking forward to taking Evans to see Santa Claus to have his picture taken. We are leaving on Thursday to head to Danville, Virginia to visit Deaner's grandmother and introduce her to her latest great grandchild. I hope Evans cooperates. We have been having some trouble with his sleeping since we have arrived and this desire he has for a bottle at 4:30am is really starting to wear me out! I am crossing my fingers tonight!
No matter how much we have missed Deaner, Evans has been getting A LOT of attention around here. My parents have been loving every minute of having him here and the extra hands are ALWAYS appreciated!Evans had a great time helping pick out the Christmas tree. Thankfully it wasn't 12 degrees yet when we went!Aunt Mimi comes over to help at bathtime. Evans' favorite time of the day!Evans and me at my favorite pizza place, Mellow Mushroom. It was here that we told Deaner's parents last Christmas that Evans was on the way. He really seemed to like it! HA!My awesome friend Erin and her husband Steve and baby James came from Nashville to visit us on Saturday night. It was SO nice to get to see them and meet James. We got to have dinner out while Evans and James stayed home and played with Buddy (my dad).Evans really loves spending time with Buddy surfing the internet!All and all we have had a really good time at home so far. I am already not looking forward to going back to Germany. It seems so far away right now and COLD!!! Just want Deaner to get here!! Happy Monday!!

Expert Goes On Record: Bin Laden 9/11 Confession Is Bogus
Expert Goes On Record: Bin Laden 9/11 Confession Is Bogus
Professor says there is no doubt infamous Bin Laden tape is fake,
being used to deflect 9/11 \"conspiracy theories\"
Steve Watson
Monday, February 19, 2007
A leading expert on Osama Bin Laden has officially gone on the record
saying that he believes the so called \"9/11 Confession\" tape, released
shortly after the attacks, is an outright fake that has been used by
US intelligence agencies to deflect attention from
\"conspiracy theories\" about 9/11.
Professor Bruce Lawrence, head of Duke University\'s Religious Studies
program, joined Kevin Barrett last Friday on his radio show
(gcnlive.com, 2/16/2007, first hour) in his first public interview
since comments he made last year indicating that he believes Bin Laden
may be dead and that many of the newer tapes are either fake or
consist of old audio and video.
The \"Confession\" video, played ad infinitum in the wake of the attack
on Afghanistan in December 2001, was magically found in a house in
Jalalabad after anti-Taliban forces moved in. It featured a fat Osama
laughing and joking about how he\'d carried out 9/11. The video was
also mistranslated in order to manipulate viewer opinion and featured
\"Bin Laden\" praising two of the hijackers, only he got their names
This Osama also uses the wrong hand to write with and wears gold
rings, a practice totally in opposition to the Muslim faith.
Despite the fact that the man in the video looks nothing like Bin
Laden, the CIA stood by the video whilst many, including Professor
Lawrence now, have declared it an outright fake.
Lawrence is the author of a book entitled Messages to the World: The
Statements of Osama Bin Laden, which translates Bin Laden\'s writing.
In January 2006 he told ABC news that a newly released audio tape was
missing several key elements and \"was like a voice from the grave\".
The Professor had analyzed more than 20 complete speeches and
interviews of the al Qaida leader for his book, and, while the CIA
confirmed the voice on the tape as Bin Laden, Lawrence questioned when
it was recorded and declared the timing of its release as politically
Last Friday Lawrence, citing informants in the US intelligence
apparatus\'s Bin Laden units, told Kevin Barrett that everyone knows
the tape is fake, adding that the hoax has been kept alive because it
is politically useful to those who wish to bolster the official 9/11
conspiracy that 19 hijackers directed by Bin Laden from a cave carried
out the attacks.
We have previously covered the scores of times Osama Bin Laden has
been used as a tool of fear and control as a tried and tested method
whenever the going gets tough. Many tapes have been determined to be
total fakes by voice analysis or simply re-hashes of old material.
Research led us to discover that the most recent \"Al Qaeda\" video
releases featuring Bin Laden had already featured in a docudrama The
Road to Guantanamo . The media tentatively even admitted that it was
the government that released the tapes.
In a separate revelation, AP reported that an expert on Islamic
extremism deemed the Al Qaeda footage as so out of character for al-
Qa\'ida it could have been taken by a security agency.
Bin Laden was created by US intelligence , worked with US intelligence
in the late 70s and 80s, was used as a patsy by US intelligence before
and after 911 and is now being used as a manipulative tool of fear by
the criminal elite faction currently in power in the US.
In June 2006, Muckraker Report investigative reporter Ed Haas
contacted the FBI to ask why 9/11 was not specifically mentioned on
Bin Laden\'s wanted page on the FBI website.
\"The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden\'s most wanted
page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to
9/11,\" he was told Rex Tomb.
In Bin Laden\'s first interview after the 9/11 attacks he denied any
involvement. This isn\'t like a kid caught thieving in a sweet shop -
terrorists always claim responsibility for attacks they have
perpetrated otherwise why bother killing people to send a political
Then came the now thoroughly debunked \"Confession Tape\".
The fact that the FBI does not consider the \'confession tape\' as
reliable evidence of involvement in 9/11 was subsequently completely
dismissed by the Washington Post and others who still say the tape
proves that Al-Qaeda have, \"proudly taken responsibility for the

We love our living rooms and the reality is that they are really more and more the showcases for our style and decor. Keep the kids out of the living room…and the dog and let your creativity go wild. Deck it out with silk drapes, lined drapes or the combination of the two. Add a rich flowing puddle so that your drapes fall gracefully on the floor. Our Installers will often spend up to 30 minutes per window just detailing and dressing the way the drapery puddle covers the floor. If you are going to choose one room to be your showcase room for your living room drapes than let your color and fabric palette loose. We often suggest a 4-6 inch puddle for your drapes if you are not going to be opening and closing the door frequently. If you are going to be opening and closing the drapes often you probably will want to avoid the puddle and just have your drapes hang just above the floor. If you have any questions on how to measure for a drapery floor puddle or just great living room drapery ideas than give one of our Designers a call.

Au revoir from The Conscientious Omnivore
I started "The Conscientious Omnivore" as a way to share some of what I was reading, watching, and listening to as I sought to educate myself about the modern food system. I occasionally provided original content, such as one (and only one) recipe, which became the blog's most popular post, our re-creation of Whole Foods' classic curry tofu salad. Mostly, though, I passed along interesting pieces of reporting that I'd discovered online. Over time, we covered a wide range of topics under the broad umbrella of "how does the modern food system work?" These included everything from the many ills of factory farmed meat, eggs and dairy; the marketing of junk food to kids; agriculture in the face of climate change and growing global population; seasonal eating, farmers' markets, and community supported agriculture (CSA); the explosive growth in the craft beer movement; the controversies around genetically modified organisms; and the often deplorable conditions in which farm workers toil. I still care a great deal about these and the many other issues we've touched upon, but the time has come for me to step away from the keyboard.
Since I started this blog in September 2011, an ever-increasing number of mainstream media outlets, alternative news sources, and of course bloggers have begun producing regular (sometimes great) writing on "the food beat." So, even without my curatorial hand to guide you, there's no danger of running out of reporting and reflection on how our food comes to be. In my absence, let me encourage you to consider adding some or all of the following to your favorites or your news feed:
- Civil Eats
- Grist
- Harvest Public Media
- NPR: The Salt
- Food & Environment Reporting Network (FERN)
- Mother Jones: Environment
- the Edible Communities publications
- Modern Farmer
- AlterNet: Food
- Humaneitarian: Eat with Care blog
- Edible Geography
Finally, whether you are a one-time visitor, a regular reader, or anyone in between, thank you for stopping by the blog! Whatever it was that piqued your curiosity and brought you to these pages, my parting message to you is the same encouragement that I give myself: Keep questioning. Keep learning. And most importantly—with your voice, your vote, your hands, and your dollars—keep working toward a food system that is more sustainable and sustaining, humane and healthful, and diverse and delicious for all.

The Q2's comprehensive command set allows you to pair, configure, and control your device, as well as make and receive calls, all using your voice.
When the phone rings, responding is as simple as saying the words "Answer" or "Ignore", and to make a call you simply say "Phone Commands" and the Q2 will activate your phone's voice dialing feature. *
The Q2 even provides help and support along the way. It talks you through the pairing process to get you started, and if you forget the voice commands you can just ask the device "What Can I Say?" to hear your options.
When you receive a call from one of your contacts, the Q2 will use its integrated Text to Speech (TTS) engine to announce the caller's name, so you will always know who is calling without looking at your phone.
The Q2 accomplishes this by automatically transferring a copy of your mobile phone contacts after pairing. It can store up to 2,000 phonebook entries for each paired device.
We are constantly striving to enhance the integration between your phone and your BlueAnt device. For that reason we have developed an Android™ application that you can download for free to any Android 2.0+ handset.
Once you have installed the application on your phone, you will hear your incoming text messages read out automatically through your connected Q2 headset.
Click here for more information about the Android application.
Alternatively, BlackBerry® and Android users can install the Vlingo SafeReader application to hear email and SMS messages read out automatically on their connected BlueAnt device.
The Q2 features integrated A2DP streaming audio functionality, so you can listen to music or podcasts, and hear turn-by-turn direction information from a GPS application on your phone.
You can also use this feature to stream audio from a Bluetooth-enabled computer to the Q2.
At BlueAnt we know everyone is different. That's why we've included configuration options for the voice recognition, so you can get your Q2 working just right for you.
If you have trouble getting the voice control to work for you every time, simply use the Sensitivity Level command to adjust the voice recognition setting so that the it works best for your voice.
It's as simple as that...
True multipoint technology means that you can connect two phones to the Q2 at the same time and answer whichever one rings.
With true multipoint, both phones remain connected to the headset at all times, so if you have calls on both phones at the same time you can use the Q2 buttons to switch between calls and phones.

Zengaged necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 1088 diseños de 201 diseñadores freelance.
zEngaged, zEngaged Inc.
zEngaged is a web-based software application designed to take the stress out of planning a wedding. zEngaged features planning tools, guides, a vendor directory, an online magazine, social networking and personalized wedding websites, all designed to help create a true "social union." This is an opportunity to contribute to the creation of an identity for a company that will change the way people think about weddings and marriage. The winning design will be awarded $500 and a credit for the contribution.
Our target market encompasses engaged couples, particularly those who are tech savvy and practical. Our users will also include members of the wedding party and guests.
zEngaged is a combination of the words "zen" (the feeling of relaxation) and "engaged" (the stage before marriage). The logo should incorporate both concepts while remaining gender neutral. It should include a brandable mark that can be used independent of the company name.
We are looking for something more creative than "ZEN" in one color and "GAGED" in another. The website is zengaged as in "ZEN" + "ENGAGED"= "ZENGAGED". It is not "ZEN-GAGED" and not "Z-ENGAGED".
Our only requirement for the company name is that the first "E" in "zEngaged" must be capitalized. (But "E" should NOT be incorporated into the logo. We simply want it capitalized so it's easier to read the word "Engaged.")
Please remember, we are a technology company in the wedding industry. So, AVOID overt bridal references (NO bouquets, champagne glasses, hearts, cursive, etc.) and Asian cultural references (NO yin yangs, pagodas, etc.).

The events in the opera take place at the beginning of the fifteenth century in Spain, with the background of a revolt against the King of Aragon by Count Urgel of Biscay In command of the King's army at Saragossa is the Count of Luna. Years before, when the Count was a young child, a gipsy woman was discovered near the cradle of his brother, Garcia. Terrified servants chased the old woman away, but the boy gradually grew ill. His father searched for the gipsy, accusing her of witchcraft, and had her burned at the stake. The woman's daughter kidnapped Garcia in revenge, intending to throw him into the flames of her mother's pyre. In her frenzy, however, she threw her own baby into the fire and has brought up Garcia as her son.
Scene 1 - Aliaferia palace in Aragon
Ferrando, Captain of the Guard, stands watch with other retainers and soldiers, before the palace while Count of Luna maintains his nightly vigil beneath the windows of Leonora, with whom he is in love. Upon his companions' request Ferrando relates how, as an infant, the Count's brother was bewitched by a gipsy, then suddenly vanished. A child, presumably the same one, was later found dead amid the ashes on the site where the old woman had been burned at the stake in punishment for her crime. The perpetrator of the gipsy's vengeance, he tells them, was her daughter, an evil woman of whom nothing has been heard since. As a clock strikes midnight the soldiers and retainers disperse.
Scene 2 - The gardens of the palace
Leonora, a lady-in-waiting to the Princess of Aragon, tells her attendant Ines of the first stirrings of her love. She met a mysterious knight at the tournament but then, with the outbreak of civil war, she did not see him again. Lately, however, he reappeared to serenade her as a troubadour. Ines tries to persuade her lady to forget the stranger, but Leonora affirms that she would gladly die for him. As they retire to their rooms, the Count appears, determined to declare his love for Leonora. His soliloquy is interrupted by the troubadour's song. Leonora rushes out to greet her love, but in the darkness mistakenly approaches the Count. At this moment the troubadour appears and Leonora realizes her error. The Count's jealousy and anger grow vehement when the troubadour reveals himself as Manrico, an officer in the army of Prince Urgel and thus the Count's enemy in the civil war. As the Count and Manrico rush off to settle their dispute in combat, Leonora falls unconscious to the ground.
Scene 1 - A gipsy camp in Biscay
Several weeks have passed. In a cleft in the mountains of Biscay a company of gipsies greet the dawn with a joyous chorus, to which they beat time with their hammers. In their midst, by a bonfire, sits the old gipsy woman Azucena and by her side Manrico. She is gazing into the fire singing a song full of weird, terrifying images, savage flames, an exulting crowd, a poor old woman dragged and beaten by soldiers, and a ghost that cries `Avenge me!'. The gipsies disperse to the villages to earn their daily living. Manrico remains behind and asks to know the meaning of Azucena's song. She tells how she saw her mother dragged to the stake, while she followed behind carrying her infant son on her back. She called to her in vain to give her a mother's blessing but the soldiers pushed her away roughly Her mother was thrust into the flames; and from the billowing smoke her ghost seemed to cry out to her daughter for vengeance. Accordingly Azucena had gone to the Count of Luna's palace, stolen the Count's eldest son intending to cast him on the pyre. His piteous sobs moved her; and she wavered. Then in a delirium she saw her mother's ghost. Terrified she threw the child on he embers; the mist cleared from her mind and, there was the Count's son by her side. It was her own baby that she had murdered. Manrico is horrified; he has always imagined her to be his mother and now? Azucena hastily reassures him. Of course she is his mother; when she had found him half dead on the battlefield of Yelila had she not nursed him back to health? Manrico recalls with pride how he stood alone against the hated Count of Luna; yet earlier in a duel when he had the Count at his mercy and he could have killed him some instinct had held him back. A messenger appears with dispatches from the Count of Urgel. He has captured the fort of Castellor, and wishes Manrico to take charge of the garrison. Leonora thinking him dead has decided to take the veil. Manrico, ignoring Azucena's frantic attempts to detain him, hurries away.
Scene 2 - A covent near Castellor
It is night and the Count and his men are lying in wait at the convent where Leonora is due to arrive. When she appears with Ines the Count rushes out and seizes her, but Manrico appears and stops him. His men hold back the Count's forces while Manrico leads Leonora away to safety.
Scene 1 - Count of Luna's camp
Soldiers under the Count's command prepare to besiege Castellor while di Luna thinks of Leonora in the arms of his enemy. Ferrando reports that a gipsy woman has been taken prisoner in the vicinity of the camp. Azucena is brought in and explains that she is searching for her son. When she learns that her interrogator is Count of Luna, fear betrays her identity and confirms his suspicions that she was responsible for the abduction of his infant brother. Led to believe that she is Manrico's mother by Azucena herself, di Luna decides to use the gipsy as a pawn in his plan to avenge his brother and reclaim Leonora.
Scene 2 - Inside Castellor
Manrico and Leonora prepare to be married, but she is uneasy with thoughts of the attack on Castellor, which is to come at dawn. Manrico reassures her, telling her that love will strengthen him in the face of death at his enemy's sword. As they are about to approach the altar Ruiz, one of Manrico's soldiers rushes on with the news that Azucena has been sentenced to death at the stake. Manrico resolves to save her and orders his men to prepare for battle.
Scene 1 - The Ramparts of Aliaferia Palace
Manrico's gallant attempt at rescue has failed; both he and Azucena are now imprisoned in a high tower in the palace of Aliaferia. From the garden below Leonora listens to the distant chanting of the monks, with their prayers for the souls of those about to die, and the voice of the troubadour proclaiming his eternal love for herself. The Count appears; in a desperate bid to save her lover's life Leonora offers herself to his rival on condition that Manrico be allowed to go free. The Count agrees. Unseen by him, Leonora swallows poison from a phial.
Scene 2 - The Prison of the Palace
Azucena and Manrico are together in the same cell in the hours before they are due to die. Azucena's fear of being burned at the stake has driven her to despair, and her son tries to comfort her by recalling their gipsy life in the mountains. Leonora comes to tell Manrico that he is free, but he will not leave alone, and suddenly realising how Leonora has gained his freedom, he rejects her; but the poison has already taken effect and as she dies Manrico understands the strength of her devotion to him. The Count appears as Leonora dies and orders Manrico to be taken immediately to execution. He drags Azucena to a window to witness his death, and as he is beheaded Azucena triumphantly reveals that Manrico was the Count's brother.

Someone asked me, reading from a book they just had been given, about the Belgian maneuvers of 1939 and asked how this was not a betrayal of France just at the critical point when World War II is about to begin. This is completely untrue though and I do not understand how anyone could think such a thing. This is the context: Belgium had always been neutral since independence until Germany invaded in 1914. After that, Belgium was allied to France because both countries were of course worried about the Germans, seeing that they would have no hesitation to invade and threaten both countries (or especially to invade France and Belgium would be a useful corridor). So there was an alliance until 1939 when on September 3, after the invasion of Poland, King Leopold III declared neutrality again. The Belgian army was at that time called out and put through some exercises as a show of force, not particularly for Germany, but for France so that they would know that if they tried to violate Belgian territory to attack Germany they would have a difficult fight and Belgium would resist them just as they had strongly resisted the Germans in 1914. This was not a betrayal, this was a realistic view of the on-the-ground situation.
Consider for a moment that prior to this time Germany had gone back on one provision after another of the Versailles Treaty and France and Britain had done nothing. Britain even signed a naval treaty with Germany. Italy had been opposed to Germany at first but left the Allies to join the Germans when Britain or France would not stand beside Italy in stopping the takeover of Austria and then later scolded Italy for occupying Abyssinia. After the Rhineland and Czech occupations and the union with Austria the French had done nothing. This was a concern to Belgium as was the French war plans which many thought left Belgium on its own. Then when Germany invaded Poland the British and then French declared war on Germany. What was Belgium supposed to do? They could do nothing about Poland, even Britain and France could do nothing to save Poland but they had declared war anyway. The Germans had made no aggressive moves against the Low Countries, Britain or France at that time. But the British and French had declared war on Germany so Belgium was suddenly faced with the possibility of France doing the same thing the Kaiser had done in 1914, attacking Germany and marching through Belgium maybe as an easier way to go.
The Allies had, honestly, done a poor job of diplomacy and foreign relations prior to World War II. They had given in to Hitler time after time and then, finally, declared war on Germany on behalf of a country neither of them could defend and which was being occupied by the Soviets also. It was perfectly understandable for King Leopold III to again declare Belgian neutrality and hope that, unlike before, the country could be kept out of the conflict. Later the King joined with Queen Wilhelmina of The Netherlands to call for all the countries to get together and make peace. Today this seems ridiculous because Hitler was a lunatic who wanted to take over the world, but try to remember what the people knew then, not what we know now. All Hitler had done then was to invade Poland and the Soviets had joined in. France and Britain had declared war on him, even though he had not threatened their countries, but they had not declared war on the Soviets for taking part of Poland or for taking over the Baltic republics. All that had really happened by then was that Poland had been partitioned, which was unfortunate for the Poles, but not something new, they had been partitioned between Germany and Russia for years. So, it seemed not unreasonable to many at the time that the two sides could talk through their differences and make peace without another world war.
That did not happen, but it is not the fault of the King that he could not look into the future. He was only trying to do what was best for his country in the situation he was in. When the war came Belgium was as strong an ally as she had been before and fought as hard as possible for 18 days against the crushing Nazi blitzkrieg, in doing so saving the lives of many French and British troops. That is what should be remembered, the free countries fighting as allies against invaders and do not waste time on accusations that are pointless and only efforts to stir up bad feelings between people and nations. There is already enough of that.

San Diego - Mission Bay - Dana Landing
(San Diego, CA)
Welcome to Freedom Boat Club of San Diego. If you are looking to buy a boat to store in San Diego, or you like to rent boats multiple times per year, this is a new alternative without all the hassles that come with owning a boat.
With a membership to our exclusive boat club you don't have to worry about boat maintenance, dock fees, insurance, depreciation, trailers or even clean up. Just gas up and go. You get access to not just one boat but our entire fleet and many more as we expand with new members. We also provide training for the novice boater. Our membership is just a one time membership fee and then monthy dues that cost you way less than just storing your boat would. Call us for more information or visit us at our Ingrahm St. location.
Whether you are a diver, fisherman or just want to enjoy a day on the water, Freedom Boat Club has the boat for you and will save you thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of doing the things you don't want to do. We are here to revolutionize Boating in San Diego!
We are Located on Beautiful Mission Bay which is just minutes from downtown San Diego. Mission Bay Park is a 4,600-acre aquatic playground surrounded by 27 miles of shoreline, with a variety of waterways, inlets and islets to explore. Boaters can enjoy water sports, fishing, or just cruising around. Mission Bay has a designated Skiing area that's perfect for a tubing or wakeboarding. Centrally located in Mission Bay is Fiesta Island. There is a 5 MPH zone on the east side of the island that is popular for recreational water sports. There are bonfire rings around the shore of the island and dogs are allowed off leash. There is a permitted water ski area in Hidden Cove and permits for water skiing only are available from the Lifeguards at their headquarters, 2581 Quivera Court.
Our location at Dana Landing Marina offers easy access to the Pacific where boaters can fish, dive, whale watch, or cruise to San Diego Bay to see the Downtown Cityscape. Dana Landing Market & Fuel Dock is truly the one-stop shop for the fishing, boating, and water-sports enthusiast. Ideally located adjacent to the Dana Landing Mission Bay launch ramp, this marina offers unparalleled convenience and service to the boating public. Fresh deli, food, snacks, and cold drinks will keep coolers stocked, and a complete supply of marine accessories and safety equipment will keep trips from ending before they start.
Mission Bay provides anglers an extremely diverse year-round fishery. The bay is generally shallow, with the max depth in most areas of the bay being only 12 feet with slow sloping sand bottoms. Some areas, including the Mission Bay Channel, Mariner's Basin and Quivera Basin have a max-depth of 20 feet. The majority of the shoreline is sand, but there are several areas (along the Mission Bay channel for example) that are lined with rocks. There is roughly 27 miles of shoreline along Mission Bay, with 19 miles of that being comprised of sand.
Fishing is permitted in almost all areas of the bay, with the exclusion of specially marked swimming and sailing areas. Shore-fishing locations are abundant, generally there are parking lots located on every point within the bay.
A valid fishing license with a saltwater stamp is required for anglers.
Fishing for spotted bay bass and halibut is very good in Mission Bay. Anglers can also target Bat Rays and Leopard Sharks which strain both angler and equipment. Eel grass lines the shoreline in almost all areas of the bay, and provide cover for bass species. Bay Bass can be targeted with both artificial and live bait presentations. Ghost Shrimp make a very good bait for bass and other smaller species of fish. Squid is the go-to bait for larger Bat Rays and Leopard Sharks.
San Diego Bay is a natural harbor and deepwater port located in San Diego County. San Diego Bay is considered one of the best natural harbors on the west coast, and spans 34 miles of waterfront. The bay, which is 12 miles long and 1to 3 miles wide, is the third largest of the three large, protected natural bays on California's entire 840 miles long coastline. In the northern part of the bay, there are two commercial "islands" called harbor Island and Shelter Island.
The Big Bay's Main Channel, directly underneath the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge, is a good spot for catching halibut by boat. Fishermen should look for the bridge pillars, and put up anchor where the main bay channel converges with the Glorietta Bay Channel out of Coronado.
The Shelter Island Pier only extends into the bay about 20 feet past shore, but it is nevertheless a popular and successful fishing spot. The Pier Fishing website recommends using live anchovies as bait. Among the fish that are commonly caught off the pier: perch, Pacific mackerel, yellowfin croacker (a type of cod), jacksmelt, opaleye, halibut, turbot and bonito.
Sweetwater Channel is a South Bay spot that is a successful fishing spot for bonito, with barracuda and more bonito sometimes schooling out of the swifter current at the mouth of the bay.
The eastern shore of Coronado Island, just off the Loews Coronado Bay Resort, can yield bonefish. It is suggested to fish from a boat and making drifts, with ghost shrimp the recommended bait.

Ryan Hreljac began raising money for water projects in 1998, at age six. When he found out from his first grade teacher that people in other countries were dying because of the lack of access to clean water, he began doing chores around his house to raise money for well projects. After raising $70, his first well was built in Uganda, just after he turned 7. The Ryan's Well Foundation was officially formed just two years later in 2001.
This Canadian-registered water charity supports several safe water and sanitation projects through partnership with local, non-governmental organizations and people. Ryan's Well has helped build over 600 wells and over 700 latrines, bringing safe water and sanitation to more than 700,000 people since its inception. People of all ages are encouraged to get involved by making donations, or hosting a creative fundraiser.
We have chosen to feature Ryan's Well Foundation for #charitytuesday, because of the uniqueness of Ryan's story. At only six years old, he had a dream that has since changed the lives of thousands of people. Ryan is an inspiration to anyone wanting to make a difference, whether old or young.
The Ryan's Well Foundation, along with many others, can be found on our list of water charities. If you know of one that is not on that list, please contact us at [email protected] and let us know.

President Glassner comments in national media on college choice, new Obama college plan
August 23, 2013
School ranking and a comfortable environment are two of the top reasons that students pick colleges to attend. But neither of these reasons holds up to scrutiny, said President Barry Glassner and Northwestern University President Morton Schapiro in a commentary published today in the Los Angeles Times.
Also today, Glassner and Schapiro appear with five other experts in Chronicle of Higher Education coverage of reactions to President Obama's newly announced plans to contain college costs.
In the Times piece, the two presidents urge students to "consider where you will thrive, both in the near term and after you graduate." For some, this might mean a school where alumni provide counsel and assistance to students hoping to break into specific industries; a school with strong international experiences for those with global interests; or a school with many hands-on research opportunities.
"The specific schools we recommend depend on the student's needs and passions," Glassner said. "In seeking these matches, we are not looking for the most comfortable place for the student, but rather where he or she can thrive intellectually and psychologically…After all, the goal is to develop the skills and the inclination to educate yourself for life."
In their Chronicle of Higher Education comments, Glassner and Schapiro express their hope that Obama will look beyond the measures of performance and value to "quality and dedication of the faculty, the availability and caliber of majors and minors, academic and other support services the institution provides, study-abroad opportunities, and a general focus on the intellectual and social development of students both inside and outside the classroom."

I personally found this a very interesting read, although I have read similar articles.
I would imagine that a lot of what it says is very true, a lot of it struck home.
I would prolly describe myself as an introvert; I really dislike playing characters that arn't rough mirrors of myself; I think most of you remember the dwarf. ;P I mean, evil characters.. they just don't set well with me anymore, and I never play them. I really didn't really like playing the two evil characters I played, feeling much more at home with goodly characters, like Innoko or the way the Alaghi was moving toward.
Just good read for thinking.

Eight hospital employees have lost their jobs after refusing to get the flu shot, which became mandatory for all staff this year.
Workers at IU Health Goshen Hospital in Indiana had the option to file for medical or religious exemptions -- but were then given the boot when they wouldn't get the vaccine.
The hospital says its new stricter rules are meant to protect patients with weaker immune systems, since the flu can be particularly dangerous and even deadly if those people catch it. While I appreciate that they're looking out for their patients' well-being, I have to wonder: what about the rights of their own employees?
I understand the flu has a high mortality rate in people who already have weakened immune systems and could quite literally kill patients. I even understand why the hospital is trying to force their employees to get the flu shot, since not being vaccinated seems irresponsible when you work directly with sick people.
But if this were any other field and employers were trying to make their staff get this or any other vaccine, it would be considered an infringement on their rights and personal beliefs.
These hospital workers deserve to get their jobs back. For one thing, it's opening the door to other employers to require staff to get shots or other medical procedures as a contingency for employment. And for another, vaccines are a personal choice and carry with them some potential for harm, so if someone doesn't want one, they should not be forced to get it.
There has to be an alternative to people who have dedicated their entire lives to the field of medicine being given a pink slip because they don't want the flu shot. Maybe there should be a forced leave of absence without pay during flu season or a quarantine in which those employees are prohibited from working with patients with compromised immune systems. But it makes no sense that they were given the chance to opt out -- only to be fired. That seems like discrimination to me.
Do you think it's fair to fire someone who refuses to get a flu shot?

You've seen those TV infomercials on practical household items ranging from dental plaque blasters for pets to aluminum wallets to stick-on light bulbs that bear the red "As Seen on TV" logo.
Well, TeleBrands CEO A. J. Khubani, dubbed "the infomercial king," is bringing his search for the next "As Seen on TV" products to San Diego for the first time on Thursday.
In a sort of "Shark Tank" meets "The Apprentice," struggling inventors are given five minutes to pitch budget-priced inventions to panelists who decide which, if any, will "turn on" American consumers.
The tryouts aren't televised, but winning ideas will appear in a blitz of paid TV hype and in stores. Inventors invited to perform Thursday at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront will unleash a parade of products, including a spoon that cools hot foods, a mothproof clothing cover, magnetic page organizer, biodegradable bra liner and pony tail lights.
Khubani, who started his manufacturing and marketing firm 30 years ago with his own invention of Amber Vision sunglasses, says he seeks inventions that solve common problems and have mass appeal, such as today's pocket hose (25-to-100 feet long) and pedicure (PedEgg) device.
As a judge, Khubani doesn't want prior knowledge of products. "Our viewers watch a two-minute spot. I want to have the same experience." If he doesn't "get it" in the brief pitch time, he says it won't be a good investment.
Family man: When local politician Ben Hueso was officially sworn in as a state senator the other day, he was joined on the dais by his wife, Laura, and their four young sons. The boys, wearing ties with matching shirts and sweater vests, made such an impression on Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg that he exclaimed on the record: "Are they sharp!"
Tour de force: San Diego Police Chief William Lansdowne told San Diego Press Club attendees the most significant change he's witnessed during nearly 50 years in law enforcement was women joining the force. When men ask questions, "yes" and "no" seem to be perfectly good answers, Lansdowne explained. "Women ask 'why?' and change the whole dynamic ... suddenly there's greater potential for a conversation that leads to a solution." Guess we could describe that as women breaking the copper ceiling.
Quote of note: Caruso Affiliated is offering Carlsbad residents bus tours to "The Grove," its marketplace in Los Angeles. Attendees then are asked how they would envision development of the 48 prime acres along Cannon Road in Carlsbad that the developer purchased from SDG&E. Yvonne Murchison Finocchiaro,former chair of the Carlsbad Charitable Foundation, is impressed: "Asking the residents BEFORE the plan... what a concept."

Honestly, if it's possible, I'd love to read your version of the movie post-release. You should upload it to script-o-rama.

I don't understand why people give you death threats. They can kill you in the first level of the Shield video game and not even get in trouble. I even lol'd a little.

Word. I'm still toiling in indie-film purgatory, but what you're talking about applies across the board. Glad I stumbled upon this blog via Superhero Hype. Keep it real, and good luck.

Just randomly breezed through here off of Superherohype.com looking for some info on how the new Punisher flick is coming along. From what I've read, your approach to the character, taking him and dropping him in a more real-world enviroment, is what the Punisher needs. The reason I've was disappointed in the two previous Punisher flicks was they were approached as "super-hero" films, which is all wrong for ol' Frank. I wish they went more in the direction you wanted to go.

Fuck 'em if they can't take good writing. And Lexi Alexander RUINED one of the best screenplays I've ever read with Green Street Hooligans.
I admire your balls, Sir.

I tell you what made the latest Batmans great, Christopher Nolan! His vision for Batman was great. Why couldnt that bring the real world feel to Punisher? Oh well, if you can't beat them, fuck'em! And to all you Marvel Fanboys, what in the fucking world is wrong with you?!?! this isn't a comic! it is a film there is more shit that goes into it then cheesy dialog and no end plots. Dont get me wrong I use to love comics when I was younger but death threats over it? COME ON! How about "stop jack-in it to Dare Devil's ass tight reds or I will blow up your car!" Sorry for the rant... man I feel alittle better. Mwahahahaha!!

Now Dietary Supplement Can Prevent Birth Defects and MiscarriagesAugust 10, 2017 10:28
According to the reports, Australian scientist have successfully discovered an amazing dietary supplement which carries the ability to prevent miscarriages as well as various birth defects in the pregnant women.
The report published in Xinhua news agency says that the discovery took place in the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Sydney, where the scientists discovered that Niacin or vitamin B3 can be helpful in preventing various molecular deficiencies which may result into miscarriages as well as birth defects in women.
While speaking to Xinhua, leader of the team Professor Sally Dunwoodie said that due to the discovery new door has opened in improving the lives of the women in the world.
According to the scientists birth defects took place due to the deficiency of the molecule known as NAD, which is vial for overall development of the organs.
For the development of NAD, it is important we have enough amount of vitamin B3 in the body. Vitamin B3 is found in green vegetables, meats etc.
Victor Chang Institute's Executive Director, Robert Graham said that it is important for a pregnant woman to get enough vitamin B3 even before pregnancy.


text: The objective of the panel is to discuss the credibility and authority of information in learning environments, considering the changed circumstances of digital media. The panelists will use theoretical and empirical examples from their own research on how students at various educational levels construct the credibility and authority of information, both in traditional and digital learning environments. Four related research questions will be addressed by the panelists: What constitutes "credibility" for high school students? What is the relationship between students' assessment of cognitive authority of information and their learning outcomes of inquiry-based assignments? How are college students' credibility assessment related to their information seeking goals and strategies? How can credibility and authority of information be understood in a sociocultural framework on information literacy? These questions are constantly increasing in importance along with the growth of new and more interactive digital media. Individuals' responsibility for and capability of critical source evaluation is of significant importance for both information science researchers and professional practitioners. Together, the panel contributes to a more nuanced and deepened understanding of credibility and authority of information in learning environments through the examinations of different empirical settings. The panel therefore wishes, from an information science perspective, to stimulate a continuing discussion and future awareness of these issues. The panel concludes with rich opportunities for discussing the questions addressed with audience participants.
