Once There Was A (White Trash) Snowman
When you promise your 2 year old that she can make a snowman at Grandma and Grandpa's house, you better do all that you can to make it happen. Even if that means driving to the top of a freezing cold mountain.
No carrot or top hat? No problem! A paper cup and licorice should do the trick. I think they call that adaptive parenting... ;-)
Milo got off easy and slept snugly in the warm car the entire time. Smart man...next time I'm sticking with him.

Rosario impressing with progress, work ethic
MIAMI -- Rockies catcher Wilin Rosario had his 13-game hitting streak snapped on Friday and has yet to collect a hit in the first two games of the series against the Marlins.
There's been some speculation that Rosario might end up being groomed to play first base, which is where he played Wednesday night against the Phillies in Philadelphia. However, Rockies manager Walt Weiss thinks that it may be best to keep Rosario behind the plate.
"I see him as a catcher," Weiss said. "He's a young catcher and he's got some things to improve on, but the skill set is certainly there. He's a great athlete. With the things he can do offensively, for a catcher, he can be one of the elite players in the game."
Rosario, who was not in the starting lineup for the Rockies' final game Sunday against the Marlins, has certainly done his job at the plate this season. He entered Sunday with a .281 batting average and .485 slugging percentage with 20 homers and 70 RBIs. He's also made strides sitting behind the dish.
"I wasn't around last year, so I didn't get to see him up-close every day, but I saw enough of him," Weiss said. "He's come a long way. He was thrust into a tough position last year, skipping Triple-A, coming up here from Double-A with a very young staff. It was a tough assignment, but he's certainly made a lot of improvement this year."
Rex Brothers, who again has assumed the role of closer with Rafael Betancourt's recent trip to the disabled list, has nothing but praise for the way Rosario has progressed.
"His work ethic is second to none," Brothers said. "He takes a lot of pride in his game, which is why I think he's going to be playing for a long time. It's fun to watch a guy put that much work in and start reaping the benefits. It's good to see those results."
Reliever Matt Belisle has noticed, too, especially Rosario's defense.
"The offense was always there," Belisle said. "He's taken pride in improving his defense this year."

Who is Dr. Moondog?
Moondog was born in a Lincoln Log™ cabin in Wonderbread, Kansas in 1962. At age 17, he left the heartland for the bright lights of Nashville, where he got a job working in the Rhinestone mines.
As the result of publicity he received for jumping off the Shelby Street Bridge one evening in 1984, he was elected to two terms as Mayor of Elliston Place. His political career ended abruptly in 1991 when he was forced to flee the country amid allegations that he had shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
Moondog spent the next 10 years in hiding on the island of Madasgar. During this time he studied Theology, Metaphysics, and Origami, earning a Doctor of Divinity degree from the Univeral Life Church, whereupon he offically became "Dr. Moondog".
In 2001 Dr. Moondog quietly returned to the Unted States disguised as a Dutch tulip importer on the Norweigain cargo ship Hüsker Dü. Later that same year, he wrote a series of essays on "The American Condition" which became the first incarnation of Moondog Free Press.
Of course, 99% of what you just read is completely made up, but at Moondog Free Press we don't believe in letting facts get in the way of a good story.

The '80s Camaro IROC-Z was meant to be a road version of the International Race of Champions Camaro race car. Amazingly, John Davis and MotorWeek went to see how the two compared.
Of course, the race version was a tube-framed stock car while the road car was much like any other rattley, plastic fantastic Camaro of '80s. Do we care? Hell no, these cars are rad!
But stop listening to my mindless blabbering and watch John Davis serenade you with his inimitable charms.

"Joka vuosi miljoonia lapsia lääkitään ADHD:n vuoksi. Joidenkin lääkärien mukaan kyseessä saattaakin olla virhediagnoosi ja lapsille annetaan lääkkeitä joita he eivät tarvitse. Kenny Standish oli ennen tarhan aloittamista rauhallinen poika. Tarhan aloittamisen aikoihin kaikki muuttui. Kenny muuttui yliaktiiviseksi ja ajoittain agressiiviseksi.
Ensimmäisellä luokalla hänelle annettiin diagnoosiksi ADHD ja lääkitys aloitettiin. Lukuisien lääkärikäyntien seurauksena lääkitystä nostettiin aika ajoin koska sen vaikutus heikkeni. Eräänä päivänä äiti kokeili Kennyn käyttämää lääkettä. Lääke aiheutti hänelle voimakasta huimausta yms. Hän päätti että lapsen ei ole turvallista käyttää lääkettä.
Äiti vei Kennyn tutkimuksiin ja hänellä havaittiin punkkien välityksellä tarttuvat bartonella ja babesioosi. Taudinaiheuttajat aiheuttivat Kennyn raivonpuuskat ja yleisen huonovointisuuden.
Tri Schallerin mukaan 99,9 %:ssa tapauksista infektioita ei diagnosoida oikein. Kennylle aloitettiin mm. antibioottihoito ja hän voi jo paremmin."
ADHD misdiagnosis
updated 8:12 a.m. ET, Fri., March. 20, 2009
LEE COUNTY: Every year, millions of children are medicated for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but a local doctor says they could be misdiagnosed and taking drugs they don't need.
"He was such a good kid. So calm, so laid back, never argued," said Jenny Miner.
That's how Kenny Standish was before kindergarten.
Then he changed.
"A little overactive. A little bit hyper," said Miner. "When he would get upset he would just go in his room and tear everything off the walls."
Kenny's behavior worsened. By first grade he was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
"I wanted him to feel well and do well in school," said Miner.
Miner set out on a road shared by millions of parents and medicated her son to control the ADHD.
"He calmed down and regained focus and we were hopeful and I thought okay. But then it wore off and we had to up the dose," said Miner.
Specialists followed, so did stronger medications.
"It made me feel dizzy. I was going across the room and it was going this way," said Kenny.
"I took it. The same dose and I kid you not, the kitchen floor went diagonal on me. I said that's it. This is not for children," said Miner.
Miner searched desperately for answers, but all along she had a hunch.
"Did I think he was born with what he had? No," said Miner.
It turns out she was right.
In his bloodwork, doctors saw bacteria around his cells. The bacteria match the symptoms of ADHD and are transmitted by ticks.
She learned he had bartonella, which caused his rage and temper flare-ups, and babesia, which caused him to feel miserable.
Dr. James Schaller is a leading researcher of parasites and infections passed on to humans by ticks.
He says bartonella and babesia are rarely discovered.
"It's going to be missed 99.9 percent of the time," he said.
Schaller says that's because most major labs don't have the time or technology to check for them.
"You may need 2 hours to see this and no lab will do this so it's routinely missed on a manual blood smear," said Schaller.
Schaller has written five books to raise awareness about babesia and bartonella. He has one simple message.
"You are at risk any place in the U.S., anyplace including Florida," said Schaller.
Dr. Schaller treated Kenny with medications including antibiotics.
Now there are no more episodes of rage, no hyperactivity or lack of focus.
"I feel a lot better," said Kenney.
Miner says it's now her mission to tell other people.
She says she remembers finding a tick on Kenny when he was just a few months old. Over the years they've spent around $200,000 on doctors and medications.
In the end- the special blood test that found the bartonella and babesia cost $265.
The Collier County Health Department is working to confirm Kenny's case with the CDC.

Who are they?
Anaeli and Masuyo are ladies with character: they are strong and self-assured whilst remaining undeniably feminine... Forthright and outspoken, they can also be rather aloof, with ice around the edges at times. Self-controlled as well as impulsive; they can be domineering and occasionally very hot-tempered. This duality is the reason for a certain amount of inner-conflict. Sensitive and touchy, they can be known to lose their cool if their ego feels threatened as they are somewhat unsure of themselves. This disconcerting tendency to bounce from one extreme to another in a matter of seconds can be observed in all spheres of their lives. For example, Anaeli and Masuyo are capable of living their lives with great discipline, scrupulous and focused for a length of time, then allow themselves to drift aimlessly into apathy and indifference. Shy and retiring one day, plucky and defiant the next. Depending on the moment, they can imitate the raving mad Virgo of the zodiac or the level-headed and unshakeable Scorpio... At the same time, these are women of great strength and courage who are extremely determined: once they have set their hearts and minds on something there is no point in trying to convince them otherwise, you´ll be wasting your breath! With them, anything is possible - anything and it´s opposite that is. They are quite highly-strung and need to be active, and physical exercise can provide an excellent outlet for this excess nervous energy. Even as children they are prone to mood swings and loathe being told what to do. They can often be jealous, and are genuine but uncompromising and intense in their relationships with others. They will probably prefer building dens to playing with dolls, especially if they have a birthday on the 5th, 8th, 14th, 17th, 23rd or 26th of the month, if their life Path Number is equal to 5 or 8, or if they were born in May or August. Furthermore, and especially if they were born on the 4th, 7th, 13th, 16th, 22nd, 25th or 31st, or during the month of April or July, they are likely to experience significant setbacks and complexes. These are virtuous creatures and their parents should take care to ensure that they are conscious of their value, helping them to overcome their lack of self-confidence.
What do they like?
They have a love of power and were born to fight. Not indifferent to material life, actually far from it: Money can indeed be very useful and they are certainly not oblivious to this fact. They even have great business sense, and are down-to-earth and practical. Romantically, they are not always easy to live with: they can be stern, rigid and overbearing as well as possessive and argumentative... They intend to be in charge and do things the way they see fit... However, gentlemen, these are strong women who can be depended on, and they are anything but wishy-washy.

Anaeli and Masuyo are not exactly model housewives even though they could be if they wanted to with such talents for cooking and gardening. However, if they find themselves encumbered with this role, they will be happy to satisfy their ambition and craving for power through their partner´s career. However, more often than not they will have their own career, and are likely to be drawn towards occupations in connection with power or involving some personal risk (law enforcement, sport, military...), business (accounting, economy, finance, banking, management), the land (agriculture and livestock), property management and construction.

Recommended Anatomy Books:
Anatomy Coloring Book
The Anatomy Coloring Book is one of the best study and reference books for beginning anatomy students. The diagrams are clearly labeled and allow you to see the relationship and placement of the various structures of the body. You will also be surprised how the act of coloring will help with recall. But this is not just a beginners book, it is also great for practitioners and therapists to have on hand to use with clients and patients to use as a visual reference.
Human Muscle Anatomy
The Trail Guide To The Body is another excellent book to help you learn the musculature of the human body. Though the book is geared toward massage therapists and physical therapist assistants, the book with its illustrations and text helps anyone gain a thorough understanding of the human musculoskeletal system and movement. I highly recommend this book for anyone studying anatomy and believe that MTs, PTAs, and teachers of body movements should have this book in their possession. I also highly recommend this book for the lay person who wants to gain understanding of the muscle, skeletal system and how our bodies move. This book will not disappoint!
Basic Clinical Massage Therapy
Out of the scores of books in my office Basic Clinical Massage Therapy is by far the most referenced book in my library. The musculoskeletal system is overlaid on human models allowing you to learn the precise location, origin and insertions of each muscle. The models are pictured in various poses throughout the book which also helps you visualize muscles in motion and their actions relationship with the skeletal structure and other muscles. Though it is written for massage therapists, it is an excellent book for anyone who wants to learn about the muscular system. MT's will benefit from recommended treatments for each muscle.
Muscle Anatomy Flashcards
Musculoskeletal Anatomy Flashcards Are you a student or professional therapist who needs to brush up on the musculoskeletal system? Dr. Joseph E. Muscolino DC has developed a comprehensive set of flashcards that will help develop a mind's picture of exactly where the muscles lie under the skin. A highly recommended study aid for students. Great for non students who want an easy comprehensive anatomy guide.

I have really loved making these!! They are so fun and a really useful little kit to have in your purse or car so that you can always work on a project no matter where you are. :)
I just want to be clear that I cannot claim this idea as my own! All of the credit goes to the fabulous Tamiko of Patchwork Notes! She is fantastic and so talented and graciously gave me the go ahead to make up this little tutorial. I was so inspired when I saw her hexagon sewing kit and really wanted one of my own. So, thank you Tamiko!! :)
***update: if you want to make the patchwork version, here is the tutorial for that version***
I will warn you that this tutorial is VERY long!!! Please do not be discouraged by it's length!! This kit is not difficult to make but has lots of parts and steps and I wanted to be as thorough as possible so that you could all create one too! :)
Ok! So as for materials, the majority of the kit can be made with scraps but you will need three strips that are WOF (width of fabric) for the binding and the closure strap and thread strap.
materials needed:
- fabric scraps for the exterior, interior panels, and pockets (2 fat quarters would be plenty and you would have lots left over)
- cotton batting measuring 16" x 7"
- 4 to 4 1/2" x WOF for the binding (I will explain below why the measurement can vary)
- 1 1/2" x WOF for the closure strap and thread strap
- small scrap of velcro measuring 1/2" x 3/8"
- small piece of wool or wool blend felt for needle book
- scissor case pattern (this pattern was made to hold my gingher embroidery scissors that measure 4 1/2" long and 2" wide at the widest part of the handle, please measure your scissors to make sure they will fit)
- thread
- rotary cutter and mat
- iron
- pins
- exterior - 15" x 6"
- cotton batting - cut to 16" x 7"
- inside panel pieces - cut two (2) at 5 1/4" x 6" and one (1) at 5 1/2" x 6"
- pockets - cut one (1) at 4" x 5 1/4" and one (1) at 3 1/2" x 6"
- scissor case - cut your fabric piece for the scissor case using the pattern that you downloaded above. The inside lines are your folding lines, don't worry about those now.
- binding - cut two (2) strips measuring 2" x WOF *please see above note on binding*
- closure strap and thread strap - cut one (1) strip measuring 1 1/2" x WOF
- needle book - cut your wool felt piece to 4 1/2" x 2 3/4"
Almost done!!! Now you need to bind your sewing kit with the rest of the 2" binding that you made in the beginning. Sew your binding on the outside of the piece and then hand stitch the binding onto the inside. Don't forget that I linked to a great binding tutorial at the top of this post too!!
You now have something that hopefully looks like this! :)
All we have left is to sew on the tie! Take your tie piece and mark 12" from one end. Then take your sewing kit and place it face up on your table. You are going to need to find the stitch line on the exterior of the piece that corresponds to the left side seam line on the inside. I know this sounds confusing! Simply, you are going to stitch your tie to the exterior but you want the stitches to be disguised by the seam on the inside.
Find that seam on the exterior and mark the middle. It will be 3" from the top and bottom and approx. 5" from the right edge when the piece is laying exterior side up on your mat. Match the two marks, the one on your tie and the one on your strap. Pin in place and sew on your strap from the inside so that you can make sure your stitches are masked by the seam.
You are all done!!! Woo hoo!! Now fill it up with goodies!!!
I hope you all will love making these fun sewing kits!! I would LOVE to see yours and please make sure you add it to the lots of pink here tutorials flickr page!!!
If something is unclear, PLEASE let me know. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or leave me a comment on this post. If you leave a comment make sure that I have an email address for you so that I can respond!!
Don't forget to stop by Tamiko's blog too and say hi!!! Thanks again Tamiko for the inspiration!!!
Stop by tomorrow and I will share some other sewing kits that I made and I will have lots of links to some great embroidery resources that I have found.
***Please note that this tutorial is for personal use only!!! Please do not make items to sell using this tutorial! I am happy for you to make as many as you like for gifts or for charity!***

The Eagle Scout Wallstevejb68 on January 12, 2014 in collections, Eagle No Comments »
Melrose Boy Scout Troop 68 does not have a building or a room to call its home, so my basement family room is the place I have created a "Scout Room". It contains collections of Scouting coffee mugs, awards, and other stuff. The troop holds its patrol leader council meetings, committee meetings, and some training meetings there.
Photos of Troop 68 Eagle Scouts hang on the west wall. There was always a couple Scouts missing because I did not have a good picture to post on the wall. This morning I decided I needed to have photos of everyone, whether they were an actual Eagle picture or not. I searched through my photo collection and picked the best pictures of those missing Scouts, printed them, and placed them into frames.
The wall is now complete. All 21 of the Boy Scouts of Melrose Troop 68 who have earned the rank of Eagle Scout now have a place on the wall. There is even room for one more. Could that spot be filled by the Boy Scout who has an Eagle board of review on Tuesday?
By the way, do you have any idea how hard it is to take a picture of a wall of framed glass photos and not get a reflection?

The report la based on a comprehensive survey by the labor offlce with money supplied by the FLOODS IMPERIL VALLEY TOWNS OF MISSISSIPPI Attempt To Dynamite Levees Thwarted; Thousands Already Homeless. SUMNER, Miss., Jan. 3—(I P) —The flood waters of the Tallahatchie river and its tributaries continued to rise steadily tonight despite efforts of several thousand men.including 1,000 convlctB, to crub them. An added guard had been placed on levees in the Tallahatchie valley after new threats were made to dynamite the dikes and release the pent-up waters to flood thousands of acres of farm land. At Grassy Lake guards found 12 sticks of dynamite along the levee. Simijar dynamite threats were reported in three widely separated places along the 100-mile overflow district. Levee breaks were expected momentarily at many points and several thousand persons were prepared to evacuate. Appeals for medical supplies and tents have been made to national Red Cross officials and to Maj. Gen. Frank McCoy, commander of the fourth corps area, at Atlanta. The food supply was rapidly diminishing and there was a reported shortage of drinking water. Webb, 10 miles south of here, reported that 200 negro refugees were living in freight cars, and that more were being brought there in boats. OIL COMPANIES TO Twentieth Century Fund of New York. It is a statistical study of the cost of living in 14 European cities, as compared with that of minimum wage employes of the Ford Motor company at Detroit. LIVING HIGH The cost of living in Europe ls surprisfngingly high In view of the fact that wages, when compared with the Detroit group, are so low. Taking Detroit as 100, for a standard, the survev found the following figures to obtain in European cities: Berlin—83 to 90. Frankfurt—85 to 93. Copenhagen—83 to 91. Stockholm—99 to 101. Helsingfors—83. Parts—80 to £7. Marseilles—75 to 81. Antwerp—61 to 65. Rotterdam—65 to 6*. Manchester—70 to 71. Cork—85. Warsaw—67. Barcelona—58. Istanbul—65. To compare clothing prices, samples of clolhing bought In Detroit were sent to the 14 cities and comparison made of prices. Though a difference of local customs arose again here, lt was inferred that American women may obtain stylishly-cut dresses at lower prices than the European woman of small means. It was difficult to malch children's clothing sent from America to Europe because the clothing of most continental workmen's children is made at home. NO BATHROOM The predominating type of home used by Detroit workers is equipped with a bathroom, whereas European homes of the same type No. 66 FISCAL BILLS UPFORACTION IN CONGRESS Tariff, Farm Loans, Tax Increase. To Occupy Legislative Attention. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3—(UP) — Congress returns tomorrow facing a maze of economic and political Issues with the degression furnishing tbe hazards and the 1932 election the goal. The session will convene at least until June. The end of the two-week congressional recess finds leaders with fairly definite paths of action charted. 1. The Democratic House chi6f-tains have given right-of-way to a moderate tariff bill which does not afTect Hawley-Smoot rates directly. ECONOMIC BILL 2. Then will come the $2,000,-000 reconstruction finance corporation bill, center of the Hoover economic program, with indications that the House Democrats will make several changes. 3. Writing of a Democratic tax Increase blll. much more moderate than the *920,000,000 Mellou-Hoov-er-Mllls plan, will be started by the Ways and Means committee. IMPORTANT MEASURES Travel By Air Is Cheaper Traffic Experts Find NEW YORK, Jan. 3—(UP)— Traffic expert*, after a study of more than 4,000 cases, have found that air travel, although it costs a little more than railroad travel, is cheaper in the long run. In other words, traveling men can save enough on their salaries and living expenses to more than offset a slight increase in transportation cost. In many cases thc net saving amounts to 20 per cent or more. These figures can be mathematically demonstrated in planning many business trips over a fairly wide area. As a result, a bureau, known as the Business Travel Planning service, -which does nothing but plot commercial trips for business men, has been established. DR.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3—(l'P)— Chicago's legislators have decided that the sea of red Ink which has swept their home Into bankruptcy must b« mada deeper by hundreds of millions of dollars before America's second largest city can emerge again upon the shoals of solvency. So vast 1s the morass of debts facing Cook county (Chicago) that lt best can bn summed up by saying the municipal governments owe almost $650,000,000, with hardly a cent in their treasuries to pay. The only way out consists of tbe selling of $338,000,000 more In bonds to fund uncounted taxes from 1928 and 1929 and all the taxes from 1930, the harried lawmakers have decided. If they can sell the bonds, they hope then to reorganize the tax collecting machinery so that In 20 years the city's debts will hsve been settled. Critics of the scheme call it the taking of a second dose of poison by a dying man, the multi-million-dollar weight of straw which will pulverize the camel's back. Be that as it may, bonds are being defaulted by the millions of dollars, all city employees, including school teachers, police and firemen, are going salaryless, and Chicago, according to Mayor Anton J. Cermak, fast Is approaching the greatest emergency ever to face an American city.

GENERAL LABOR STRIKE IN CHILE IS THREATENED President Montero Ordered To Dissolve Cosack and Disband Congress At Once. SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. 3—(UP) —President Juan E. Montero was served with a notice tonight that unless his government immediately dismissed congress and ordered the dissolution of the National Nitrate company (Cosach) all labor organizations In the country would declare a 48-hour general strike Jan. 11th. The union leaders also demanded that tho government grant amnesty to imprisoned sailors convicted of participation ln the Communist-Inspired naval revolt of last September, and adopt colonization measures delivering public and unoccupied land to the country's 150,000 unemployed. The present congress took office during the presidency of General Ibanez, who was overthrown last July, and labor leaders feel that elections should be held to select legislative representatives who would bo moro In accord with present popular sentiment.

BOMBAY, Jan. 4.—(UP)—British authorities dramatically raided the headquarters of Mahatma M. K. Gandhi in the darkness of early morning today, and placed th* little revolutionary leader under arrest. Their artion, eoming as a surprise move, was expected to unleash thc full force of the Indian Nationalist campaign of civil disobedience against the forces of empire, and to fa.v Into artiv* flam* the ''spiritual warfare" tp which Gandhi haa pledged his millions of followers. AIDE TAKEN The Mahatma was detained until the police had also taken into custody hls chief lieutenant, Valla-bhal Patel, president of the National congress. The two leaders were then taken to Poona, whera they wer* locked up in the Yejav-da jail, Candht believed he was to be arrested later today, when he planned to Journey to Ahmedabad, hls provincial home. He had postponed his departure from Bombay on eleventh-hour pleas to await one more attempt to soften ths vice regal authorities In their attl-ture towards the National congress. The arresting forces, appearing suddenly at Gandhi's residence long after tho multitudes of his followers had dispersed for the night, were armed with a simple magistrate's warrant. Under the new ordinances—against which the Mahatma has mada a determined fight during the past two-weeks— no trial need be held, and (iandhl may be Incarcerated at tho pleasure of the government in whatever prison the authorities choose. ARREST LEADERS Tha drive against leaders of th* National congress Is expect*d to reach spectacular heights within the next few days. Every person of importance In the revolutionary movement, lt is understood, will bo placed under arrost, and th* political funds of tbe political organization will be confiscated. lt Is the purpose of the govern ment to render the congress powerless, through lack ot funds and communication facilities, to press a boycott and disobedience campaign which, they fear, would wreck British Industry in India witb grave consequences at home. Gandhi's flrst action on his return was to deliver a belligerent speech, in which he predicted a "flery ordeal' 'and urged his followers "to undergo any amount of suffering" for tbe causo of Indiau independence. Passage by the British govern- 1 ment of ordinances designed to check Inflammatory speeches and action by organizers of the boycott and civil disobedience campaign drove the Mahatma to further expressions that warfare—of the non-violent type—was inevitable, and the National congress began Its preparations for tbe conflict.

Psychologist Richard Wiseman, the author of "59 Seconds: Change Your Life in Under a Minute," has a simple test to determine whether you are a good liar or not.
It's called the "Q" test and it takes about five seconds to complete.
Here's how it works: Using the first finger of your dominant hand, draw a capital letter Q on your forehead. OK, you're done.
Now, which side of your forehead did you draw the tail of the letter Q?
If you drew the tail on the left side of your forehead (so it could be read by someone facing you), then you are aware of how other people perceive you and you are good at lying.
If you drew the tail on the right side of your forehead (so you can read it), then you are more of an introvert and you are bad at lying.
Wiseman explains how to do the test in the video below:

The WebKit team has announced its next-generation JavaScript engine, called SquirrelFish Extreme, before the previous SquirrelFish even made it into a shipping product. In the last three months, though, serious speed gains have been made, making regular old SquirrelFish look old 'n' busted and leaving the current competition in the dust.
Earlier this year, both Safari and Firefox made major updates that introduced significant speed boosts in JavaScript execution. Then in June, the WebKit team introduced a completely redesigned JavaScript engine called SquirrelFish that uses a JIT bytecode interpreter. This approach netted a 50 percent speed boost when benchmarked using the SunSpider benchmark.
The new-new SquirrelFish Extreme even kicks its own old-new SquirrelFish ass.
Graph by Maciej Stachowiak.
SqirrelFish Extreme easily bests the latest from Mozilla and Google. Graph by Charles Ying.
SquirrelFish Extreme leaves both engines spinning their wheels by adding four technologies to the JIT bytecode interpreter. First, the team added significant optimizations to the bytecode interpreter. They also added polymorphic inline cache, context threading, and an optimized regular expression engine. If that's all over your head, though, fret not. Just know that future versions of Safari and MobileSafari will be wicked fast.
Though the competition is fierce*, it only benefits end users in the long run. As more and more applications and services are moved online, and make use frameworks like jQuery, SproutCore, or Cappuccino, JavaScript performance becomes an increasingly larger part of making a snappy web experience.
You'll soon be able to find a more in-depth look into SquirrelFish Extreme by JavaScript genius and creator of jQuery John Resig here on Ars (probably on our open-source journal, Open Ended) if you're interested in the dirty details. Stay tuned.
*Actually, my guess is that the competition is probably pretty friendly.

Shell WindEnergy Inc. and Luminant announced last week that they plan to build a 3,000-megawatt wind power plant in the Texas Panhandle. That's more than four times the size of the largest wind farm currently in operation. The proposed wind facility would be located in Briscoe County to take advantage of excellent wind resources and a relatively low cost of transmitting the wind power to wholesale markets. The two companies will also explore using compressed air energy storage, which uses electric fans to force air into underground caverns, compressing it, and usually involves employing the compressed air as an oxygen source for a gas turbine. The companies did not announce a timeline for either project. Luminant was formerly called TXU Power and is a subsidiary of TXU Corporation.
Texas already holds the record for the world's largest wind farm, the 735-megawatt Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center, which was completed by FPL Energy, Inc. in late 2006. It also is the site for the nation's second-largest wind farm, the 504.8-megawatt Sweetwater wind project, the fourth phase of which attained commercial operation in May. Catamount Energy Corp. and Babcock & Brown developed and constructed Sweetwater 4, and are currently funding the development and construction of the project's fifth phase, which will add another 80.5 megawatts. And Colorado will soon host the nation's third-largest wind farm (erroneously announced as the second largest) with the construction of the 400-megawatt Peetz Table Wind Energy Center in northeast Colorado. FPL Energy broke ground on the project in May and expects to complete its construction this year.
FPL Energy is a leading U.S. developer and operator of wind farms, and it plans to maintain its leadership over the next five years. The company announced on Monday that it intends to add another 2,000 megawatts of wind power to its portfolio by the end of 2008, followed by 1,500 to 2,000 megawatts of new wind power capacity each year through 2012, for a total of up to 10,000 megawatts of new wind power. The company currently has 1,000 megawatts of wind power under construction, including the Peetz wind plant, and claims to have more than 14,000 megawatts of wind power projects in various stages of development. See the FPL Energy press release.

New psychology research shows that exposing people to alcohol-related words can influence aggressive behaviour in ways similar to actually consuming alcohol.
Researchers found however that this aggressive behaviour occurred when people were subjected to provocation in a way that was not a clear-cut insult.
Although it has been long known that drinking alcohol can increase aggression, a team of five psychologists, including Dr Eduardo Vasquez of the University of Kent in the UK and others from two US universities, demonstrated in two experiments that participants exhibited aggression following exposure to alcohol-related words - known as alcohol priming. This effect was demonstrated in situations when they were provoked in a way that was ambiguous or not obvious.
These findings will have implications for understanding the way people behave in situations where alcohol is present, including bars sporting events and parties.
The study - titled, Are You Insulting Me? Exposure to Alcohol Primes Increases Aggression Following Ambiguous Provocation - was conducted via two experiments involving US undergraduates.
In the first, half of the students were exposed to alcohol primes - for example, the words 'wine', 'beer' and 'whisky' - while the other half were exposed to non-alcohol primes - for example, 'milk', 'water' and 'juice' - prior to receiving feedback on an essay they had written. Participants demonstrated increased aggressive retaliation when provoked by the essay feedback, but only when the provocation could not be clearly interpreted as an insult. An unambiguous or clear provocation produced highly aggressive responses, regardless of whether a person was primed with alcohol or not.
The second experiment showed that the effects of alcohol priming are fairly short-lived - the effect begins to diminish after seven minutes and is gone after about fifteen minutes following exposure to alcohol words. It also showed that alcohol priming influenced aggression by making the ambiguous provocation appear more hostile.
Dr Vasquez, of Kent's School of Psychology, said: 'These results provide another strong demonstration that exposing someone to alcohol-related words alone can influence social behaviour in ways that are consistent with the effects of alcohol consumption.
'Our research also examined the parameters within which alcohol priming is likely to affect aggression. These effects seem to occur primarily when the provocation is not clear-cut and obvious, and are thus more open to interpretation. Under alcohol priming, the interpretation becomes more negative, and people become more aggressive.
'We've shown that people attending events where alcohol is typically present do not have to drink to experience, or be subject to, the aggression-enhancing effects of alcohol, a fact that would seem to suggest caution in all such environments.'
The paper, titled, Are You Insulting Me? Exposure to Alcohol Primes Increases Aggression Following Ambiguous Provocation, is published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. Its authors are: William C. Pedersen (California State University, Long Beach); Eduardo A. Vasquez (University of Kent); Bruce D. Bartholow (University of Missouri); Marianne Grosvenor and Ana Truong (California State University, Long Beach). See online version here: http://psp.

U.N. inspectors returned to Syria on Wednesday to look into at least a half-dozen claims of chemical weapons use -- some allegedly by the regime, others allegedly by rebels.
The team has already confirmed the August 21 use of chemical warfare near Damascus but did not explicitly say who was responsible. According to U.S. estimates, that attack left more than 1,400 people dead.
Among their tasks, investigators will try to figure out if chemical weapons were used in the northern city of Khan al-Asal in March. State-run media blamed rebels for the attack, which it said killed 25 people and injured more than 110 others. Syrian rebels, meanwhile, accused government forces of a chemical weapons attack on the rural Damascus suburb of Ateibeh.
But the inspectors face a litany of challenges, like trying to find physical and forensic evidence from more than six months ago.
Then there's the security situation. During the inspectors' last visit, mortar shells landed near their hotel in Damascus, and their convoy came under fire while en route to a scene.
And just like their investigation into the August 21 attack, the inspectors will only try to determine whether chemical weapons were used during this trip, not who was responsible.
A collection of some of Syria's most powerful rebel brigades have rejected a Western-backed opposition group that announced the creation of an interim government in exile this month.
The 13 rebel groups, led by the al Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front, also called on supporters of the Syrian opposition to embrace Sharia law "and make it the sole source of legislation."
The move appeared to sideline the flagging National Syrian Coalition, which recently announced the formation of an interim government in exile led by Ahmad Tomeh, a dentist and dissident from the Syrian city of Deir Ezzor.
In a statement released late Tuesday, the 13 rebel groups declared that "the coalition and the putative government headed by Ahmad Tomeh does not represent or recognize us."
Among the signatory rebel groups were Ahrar al Sham, Al-Tawheed and Suqoor al-Sham, three major fighting factions that control considerable amounts of territory in Syria.
Members of the Syrian National Coalition contacted by CNN declined to comment, saying they were still working on an official response to the rebel statement.
In a speech Tuesday to the United Nations, President Barack Obama pledged $340 million in additional assistance to Syria, while reiterating his support for what he described as the country's "moderate opposition."
But moderate opposition groups appear to have suffered a series of setbacks this month as hard-line jihadi groups have pushed to grab more territory and resources.
Last week, another al Qaeda-linked group drove rival rebels out of the strategically placed town of Azaz near the Turkish border. The group, whose ranks are bolstered by foreign jihadi militants, later accused the ousted rebels of being traitors for supporting democracy and for meeting previously with U.S. Sen. John McCain.
Cash-strapped secular Syrian activists have been warning of the rise of Islamist groups in opposition-controlled parts of Syria.
"If anybody does a humanitarian project that is not under their (the Islamists') agenda, then they feel threatened," said one activist who runs humanitarian projects that help feed and house displaced families inside Syria. The activist asked not to be named, for fear of reprisal from Islamist groups.
Turkey, an opponent of the Syrian government that has long allowed opposition fighters to travel freely back and forth across its long border with Syria, has recently begun sounding the alarm about extremist groups.
"This is a big security threat to us, and it directly concerns us," Turkish President Abdullah Gul told journalists in New York last weekend.
"These people may not have been radicals or terrorists at all in the beginning, but the conditions have brought them to this point," Gul said. "People who would not harm a fly can find themselves in a position where they can mutually resort to atrocity and violence."
It is not clear what effect the Islamist rebel groups' announcement will have on Salim Idriss, the English-speaking former Syrian army general who now heads the Supreme Military Council of the rebel Free Syrian Army.
Idriss has enjoyed the support of Western governments and officials such as McCain. He was filmed in April at the Turkish-Syrian border receiving a shipment of nonlethal assistance from U.S. State Department officials.
Officials in the Supreme Military Council also declined to comment on the Islamist rebel announcement.

O Captain! My Captain! Our fateful troth (& hairdo) is done
By Christine M. Flowers
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | (MCT) My high-school haircut is in mourning today: The Captain and Tennille have called it quits. This one definitely came out of left field, and while the last time I thought of them was when Reagan was still in office, it's hit me pretty hard. Why, you might wonder, am I grieving over the breakup of a couple I never met and that was capable of producing "Muskrat Love"? It's complicated.
At the most simplistic level, I hate change. Those who think that evolution is what keeps us alive (beyond the literal, Darwinian sense) are cheerleaders for renewal and have very little attachment to the past. Memories to them are quaint ephemera, pleasant but nonessential. The future is what counts, in all of its unpredictable promise. But those of us who cling to the past are less enamored of seismic movement, and don't embrace change for the mere sake of it. Of course, some change is good (the Civil Rights Act, the 49th and 50th states, self-grip hair curlers), but the concept itself does not necessarily raise us to a higher plane.
But this doesn't really account for my sense of sadness at the news that Muskrat Susie and Muskrat Sam are headed for divorce court. Maybe it's something only a child of the mid to late '70s can understand, someone who grew up at a time when everything was colored in glitter and elevated on platform shoes and orchestrated to the "thump-thump" beat of a disco hit. Personally, I had little use for Donna Summer and Studio 54 and all the really bad music that formed the soundtrack of my high-school dances (which, who am I kidding, I only decorated for and never actually attended).
When the Captain and Tennille burst onto the scene in 1975 with "Love Will Keep Us Together," I was thrilled. This was my kind of music: kind of hokey, with a throwback beat and written by Neil Sedaka, a man who actually understood the mechanics of lyric + melody = magic. It wasn't a song that existed as background music for your "Saturday Night Fever" (which was, in 1975, just a slight cold). And the best part about it, aside from the really cool hairdo that Toni Tennille sported, was the fact that the two people singing about staying together really were together. The year they came out with the song, Daryl Dragon and his lady got hitched, and it looked as if they'd stay that way forever.
None of us believed it, of course. Through all the appearances on "Bandstand" and on tour and in their television specials, we were just waiting for the second clog to drop. In that age of zipless whatevers (thank you, Erica Jong) and in the midst of the escalation of a sexual revolution started by the boomers (who looked ridiculous stomping down to "Burn Baby Burn," because anyone over 30 looks really bad twirling around in polyester), here were two nice people who actually had musical talent and loved each other. It couldn't last.
But, impossibly, and against all of the show-business odds, it did. For 39 years, the Captain and Tennille sat at that piano and made beautiful music together. OK, perhaps beautiful isn't an apt description for "Do That to Me One More Time," which is the type of song that makes you wish you were the product of asexual reproduction when you hear it while driving in the car with your father. Still, it was sung by a woman who quite obviously adored the man who was accompanying her, and that counted for something substantial.
I was so enamored of this couple that I copied Toni Tennille's haircut, unadvisedly as it turns out. While the modified Dutch Boy do, with bangs that were more impenetrable than the Berlin Wall, was actually flattering on the songbird, it didn't make a chubby 15 year old with Coke-bottle glasses look particularly appetizing. Still, it helped me camouflage the damage of a Lilt perm, and for that I was infinitely grateful.
So, to hear that this iconic couple of my adolescence has fallen victim to the scourge of separation makes me incredibly sad. Even though I know that many marriages end in divorce, and that second and third marriages are now a de rigueur part of the social portfolio of average Americans, I nonetheless cling to that quaint notion that some unions can withstand the erosion of time, grief and apathy. A man and a woman who make it through four full decades of cohabitation, ones that seemed from the outside like a kinship and twinship of souls, give you hope that some things survive.
And some things don't.
I divorced my haircut long ago, but always had affection for the lady who inspired it and the sphinx by her side. If only love could have kept them together.
