Safety standard changed after gas explosion
There is a new safety standard designed to prevent the type of explosion that occurred at the Kleen Energy Plant in Middletown, CT, last year.
The new National Fire Protection standard, NFPA 56, covers the cleaning and purging of flammable gas piping systems.
The explosion at the Kleen Energy Power plant on Feb. 7, 2010 killed six workers and injured 50 others.
The investigation determined the explosion at the Kleen Energy Power plant was the result of a process known as a "gas blow," in which highly pressurized natural gas cleans debris from pipes. The explosion occurred when the highly pressurized natural gas discharged into the atmosphere without the proper controls.
NFPA 56 (PS) prohibits using a flammable gas as a cleaning agent to clean out pipes. The new standard will also address a broad range of gas process activities such as pipe cleaning, repair, replacement and removal procedures conducted at power plants and industrial, institutional and commercial applications.

Here is my take on her idea:
This card is made with a technique called "collage stamping" -- all of the images are on one piece of Whisper White card stock, and the images are stamped over top of each other. I used Melon Mambo, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Momento Black for this card. I used a small heart punched from our beautiful Silver Glimmer paper instead of a button. Here is the inside of the card:

Molly Sims had motherhood on her mind at Montblanc's 24 Hour Plays at the Broad Stage Theater in LA. She blew out a candle on a cupcake to mark the one- year birthday of her son Brooks. While the tiny tyke wasn't at the event, Sims frequently checked in on him with a special iPhone app. When talk turned to Kanye and Kim Kardashian's baby name North West, Molly said it was "very cute." She also observed Kim "should not focus on weight, and just the joys of motherhood."

One of the biggest European club games of the season is set to be staged in front of almost 60,000 empty seats at Twickenham.
Only 21,000 tickets have been sold so far for Sunday's Heineken Cup semi-final between Saracens and Toulon, significantly lower than the anticipated 70,000 attendance for the traditional Army v Navy match 24 hours earlier.
Despite the presence of Jonny Wilkinson and a host of other big names in the Toulon line-up, officials say the stadium will be two-thirds empty for a match which should be among the most compelling in this year's tournament. Barring a sudden late rush, it is likely to be the third-lowest Heineken Cup semi-final crowd in the past decade.
Responsibility for semi-final ticket sales lies entirely with European Rugby Cup Ltd, which insists no cut-price deals or group rates can be made available on such occasions. With ticket prices ranging from £35 to £50 and few Toulon supporters in the habit of travelling abroad with their team, the television cameras will have to be creative to divert attention from the massive gaps in the stands.
Saracens' chief executive, Edward Griffiths, who expects his team to attract crowds in excess of 60,000 when they play two showpiece games at Wembley next season, stressed the club could do nothing about the situation. "It's not ideal for a sport to have a big game like this between two big clubs in a stadium where there are gaps," he acknowledged. "Having said that, I'm not saying ERC are culpable. They have to run a complex competition across a number of territories and they say the easiest way to do it is to have one set of rules applied equally across all of them. They're simply applying them."
This lack of flexibility, however, serves only to highlight the English clubs' view that a club competition should not be controlled by the unions. None of the clubs involved in the semi-finals receives any direct income, with all monies going into a central pot. The choice of Twickenham as the venue, rather than Milton Keynes, which is one of the stadiums Saracens have used as a home ground this season, was agreed following mutual consultation. But the game is now likely to be watched by fewer people than saw London Irish play Toulouse at Twickenham five years ago, when the attendance was 30,559.
There are no such issues at the weekend's other European semi-finals, with Clermont Auvergne's game against Munster and the Amlin Challenge Cup games hosted by Leinster and Perpignan all expected to be full houses.

Pressure Cleaners
Pressure pool cleaners operate by the pressure of your pool return (Polaris 65/165 and 360), or from the power of a booster pump (Polaris 380/3900 and Letro). The water pressure entering the cleaner powers the drive train, the venturi jets and the sweep tail. Pressure cleaners are loved by millions for their power, speed and cleaning ability, although the price to retrofit a booster pump cleaner is often prohibitive.
- Inground Pool Cleaners (44)
- Above Ground Cleaners (14)
- Suction Cleaners (18)
- Pressure Cleaners (12)
- Robotic Cleaners (22)
- Battery Powered (9)
- Polaris Cleaners (11)
- Kreepy Krauly (8)
- Hayward Cleaners (12)
- Aquabot Cleaners (13)
- View All
Pressure pool cleaners, also known as Booster pump powered, are powered by a separate booster pump that sits by your pool pump. This makes this class of pool cleaners fully automatic, because the booster pump can be operated on a timeclock, turning itself (and the cleaner) on and off at specified times. Other cleaners will run whenever the filter pump is running, increasing wear and tear on the pool cleaner parts. Pressure-side automatic pool cleaners are powered by water pressure and feature internal vacuum bags. These cleaners attach to the pressure side (return) of your pool's circulation system,have their own hydraulic power plant, and are propelled by the water that is pumped or "pushed" back to the pool. Being on the pressure side, these units have distinct advantages. They are helpful in distributing clean filtered water around the pool and having their own debris bag means that they don't compromise the filter system by bringing dirt and debris into the pump basket and pool filter. Even with the bag full, a pressure cleaner still operates, stirring debris up; it just won't suck up much more debris until the bag is emptied.
Pool Center carries top brands like Polaris, Hayward, and Kreepy Krauly so you can find the best of choices in pressure-side cleaning, and enjoy a clean pool without any hassle.

New Delhi, June 18:
The Supreme Court will on Friday hear a plea to re-conduct the All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) examination it cancelled on Monday following a leak of the question papers.
An apex court bench headed by Justice R.K. Agrawal on Thursday agreed to hear the matter on Friday after Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar told the court it was not possible for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to re-conduct the exam within the four weeks time directed by the court.
The CBSE has sought three months time to re-conduct the AIPMT exam held on May 3. The court cancelled it after it was found that the question paper had been leaked and the answer sheet had been circulated with the help of electronic devices. (IANS)

Despite his Olympic scandal in Rio, United States swimmer Ryan Lochte is set to compete on ABC's Dancing With the Stars season 23.
USA Today Sports broke the news Wednesday.
Advertisement - story continues below
Lochte has been stuck in the spotlight over the last week and a half following an exaggerated claim that he and three other teammates were robbed at a gas station in Rio by men impersonating police officers.
Authorities in Rio, however, rebuffed Lochte's claims. They announced at a press conference last week that, following an investigation into the robbery claim, Lochte had fabricated the story from the beginning.

Instead, authorities said that Lochte and his teammates showed up at the gas station drunk and vandalized a bathroom.
Still, the truth appears to be a bit murky. USA Today Sports reports:
Advertisement - story continues below
An investigation by USA TODAY Sports into the police account found the trashing of the bathroom never happened and that police never even asked the swimmers about it. The swimmers never entered the bathroom or even forced the door, according to their testimonies to Rio authorities. Video doesn't show them doing anything to the bathroom and the only damage is to an advertising poster torn down by Lochte as the swimmers left. They urinated in bushes behind the building because the bathroom was locked, they said in statements to police.
The swimmers, however, were detained by badge-carrying, armed prison guards working a private security detail, USA TODAY Sports confirmed. They were held at gunpoint as a translator worked out a deal for the swimmers to pay 160 reais – about $50 — for the damage to the poster and be allowed to leave, they said in statements.
The entire incident led a Brazilian judge to seize the passports of Lochte and teammate Jimmy Feigen, the other swimmer who allegedly gave a false report to police.
Subsequently, police detained the other two swimmers involved — Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz — as they were aboard an airplane destined for the U.S. At the time, Feigen was also still in the country. Lochte, however, was not.
After Conger, Bentz and Feigen sat down for a formal interview with authorities, they were allowed to leave the country. Police, though, first made Feigen pay a fine before coming home.
Lochte later apologized for his actions and "exaggerated" claims.
Advertisement - story continues below
The entire incident led four different companies to drop their sponsorship deals with the decorated swimmer.
Lochte may not be the only Olympic star set to compete in season 23 of Dancing With the Stars. It's rumored that gymnast Simone Biles will also be competing.
The entire lineup is set to be announced on Aug. 30. Competition is slated to begin on Sept. 12.

Day 13 is a fictional book.
I have chosen Karma Girl by Jennifer Estep.
My friend, Amber, had given me this book in July when I was in Idaho hanging out. I started reading it and it was super cute. Not what I would have normally read because it is a romance novel of sorts but still very cute. It is book 1 in a series about Superheros and Ubervillians in a town called Bigtime. If you are looking for a light fun read you should definitely check it out.

Early Life
Chris Killip was born in Douglas, Isle of Man, in 1946. He left school at the age of sixteen and went to work for a hotel on the island as a trainee manager. A cycling enthusiast, Killip was searching a copy of Paris Match for photographs of the Tour de France when he saw a photograph of a small boy carrying two bottles of wine, taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Killip was mesmerised by the image and by what separated it from other photographs in the magazine. Deciding to pursue photography, in June 1964 he took up beach photography before going to London to work as an assistant for the advertising photographer, Adrian Flowers.
North England
In 1969 Killip stopped commercial work to focus on his documentary projects. In the same year, his work was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and he returned to the Isle of Man to photograph the disappearing way of life on the island. His images of the community were published in his first book, Isle of Man, with an essay by John Berger. Whilst photographing the island, Killip also worked in his father's pub, and would return to London occasionally to print his images. In 1972 Killip received a grant from the Arts Council to photograph Huddersfield and Bury St Edmunds for the exhibition, Two Views – Two Cities. This began a body of work that would focus on communities in the north of England.
Killip moved to Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1975 and became a founding member of the Side Gallery, which would become influential in the repositioning of photography as a fine art. Killip photographed the struggling communities of the North East that were regarded to encapsulate the despair of the years of Thatcher government, focusing on the effects of the government's policy for dismantling industry. The poet, Don Paterson, has said, "Killip's depiction of the effects of this policy on the coastal towns of the North-East was a metonym for a wholesale dismantling and dereliction". The post-apocalyptic landscapes, strewn with detritus and populated by disenfranchised workers, stem from a period of widespread political malaise in the North of England.
Killip published the images from this period in 1988 as In Flagrante. The publication ensured Killip's place at the forefront of a generation of photographers interested in depicting socio-political inequalities. In Flagrante includes photographs of a community in Lynemouth who made livings by collecting coal from the sea. Killip first went to photograph Seacoal Beach in Lynemouth, Northumberland, in 1976 but it took him six years to gain the trust of the people working there. He lived intermittently in a caravan in the Seacoal camp from 1982 to 1984. The antiquated methods used to collect the coal along the beach, using horses and carts, led Killip to say "the place confounded time; here the Middle Ages and the twentieth century intertwined". In Flagrante is often called the most important photobook to be made in England in the 1980s.
Exhibitions and Awards
In 1989 Killip received the Henri Cartier-Bresson Award and 1991 he was invited to be a visiting lecturer at the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies, Harvard University. He was made a tenured professor in 1994 and continues to live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, teaching at Harvard.
Killip's photographs are held by many institutional collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; George Eastman House, Rochester; the Museum Folkwang, Essen; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; the Getty Museum, Los Angeles; the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Loney, Dear, Loney, Noir, and live at Union Hall, Brooklyn, 3.12.07
Photo Credit
By Charlotte Deaver
When a single-artist, multi-instrumentalist tours, suddenly a "band," he (or she) doesn't always get his act together, literally, as well as he does in the studio. So I didn't expect much from Loney, Dear's live performance. But my goodness, they were playing right down the street, and I had these damn songs of theirs looping and looping endlessly in my head.
Happily, however, this band was focused and tight. Headed by Emil Svanangen (from Sveden), each band member locked into the other completely, keeping a close eye on their leader, and clearly feeling each voice, each different instrument, and each song. And what gorgeous songs! They're melodic, both lush and spare, intense, private but open, and always driving forward. Many songs build, formulaically yet effectively, as layer upon layer of instruments and voices create a pulsating crescendo, to the point of leaving me, ever susceptible to this genre, a little high, a little ecstatic. "Carrying a Stone," "Hard Days, 1, 2, 3, 4," "Saturday Waits," "I Am John," "Sinister in a State of Hope" -- those songs got me to the show. And there are so many others, as this is at least their fourth release.
Most striking for me, the harmonies were actually better live than on recordings. Louder, freer, and never off-key (as is rarely the case with live performances). The sweet keyboard boy was on top of every note, every electronic shift, and blended every harmony perfectly. And the lovely female singer, also at a keyboard but sometimes percussing or jangling something in her hand, although strictly supportive in her role, sings with that wide-open, "full-throated ease" (Keats) that I've always wished I had. Not a huge or belting voice, but the voice in the band that especially seared into my brain.
Emil's high notes, a major part of his sound, are sometimes too high. I prefer his lower register (still not very low!), and his Peter-Pan-crowing style, which he provides only occasionally. There seemed to be more variety in his vocal textures at the live show, which was welcome.
As I watched and listened to them all I was reminded of what it's like singing in choir, where you learn to keep your eyes up, out of your music or your reverie, and on the director, especially at key moments -- beginnings and endings, musical changes, and tricky parts. I fantasized that they all grew up together in their Nordic, frost-bitten, melancholy local church, singing requiems and hymns and other choral music. The following text on Loney, Dear's myspace site reveals that part of my fantasy wasn't too far off after all: "Textural newcomers include clarinets, floortoms and pumporgans to enhance the sonic landscape surrounding the beautiful melodies that sometimes echo age old church hymns." But no, they surely did not grow up singing together as the band-members' names are not even listed on the Loney, Noir CD or on the myspace site, which is, to me, rude and annoying. Especially after being so joyfully entertained not just by Emil, but by them all.

Bill Rea — This is for you, Jan
There are those experiences in life to which we eagerly look forward.
We rejoice in our hearts as they take place, and we feel let down when they are done.
I'm feeling let down as I write these words. I don't regret the experience, but I do regret it's over.
There is a high school in the west end of Toronto called Humberside Collegiate Institute, which is marking its 125th anniversary this year. The main celebration took place over the weekend.
I attended that school; a member of the Class of '77. I therefore attended and participated in the observances, but there was more to it.
For many years, Humberside benefitted from the services of a music teacher named Janet Keele, who ran the choirs, as well as directing annual musical productions. I took part in both during my high school years. They gave me an appreciation for music that has greatly enriched my life. They also gave me the chance to do things before live audiences of which I would have previously sworn I was incapable.
There was, and still is, a quality to her that I have always revered, and I know I am not alone. I well remember the day more than 40 years ago when Jan said she could tell who the Grade 13 students were because they now addressed her by her first name.
That same teacher, who has been retired for some years, organized an alumni choir to put on a concert Friday night in honour of the anniversary. I learned late last year from my brother Michael (Class of '72) that plans were in the works for a celebration, and that a choir would be assembled for a concert. I sent my former teacher an email, assuring her I would be on deck for being pressed into such service.
Some of you may have noticed that I was absent from community events in town the last several Wednesday evenings. The explanation is simple — I was in rehearsal, along with about 140 other alumni, spanning the more than 30 years this lady taught there. Consequently, I spent those evenings with an eclectic mix of people I hadn't seen in years and a whole lot of total strangers. We were all under the command of a woman we all love very much.
The dynamic was impressive, especially when I reflected back some 40 years. I had seen this lady draw pleasing sounds from the diaphragms of a couple of hundred kids, overcoming things like changing voices, smart remarks and asides from a bunch of teens who thought they had suddenly become sophisticated, and a hell of a lot of hormones. But being a good teacher, she knew how to get around that.
For a lot of those kids, it was an easy credit. To others, myself included, it was a labour of love, never to be forgotten. That's what drew us back to the routine over the last several Wednesday evenings.
But things were different. Jan was no longer dealing with a bunch of teens. Many of her charges over the last couple of weeks are in their 60s, and a whole bunch of others (like me) are looking forward to that imminent milestone with a certain amount of dread.
She frequently had to interrupt the reminiscing taking place in the ranks by barking the word "Stop" in her very distinctive voice (she's still got it). She was very gentle when it came to telling some of the women that unless their voices were well trained and practised, they simply might not be able to hit a high G any more. At one point during one of the rehearsals, she asked the assembly to stand, after we had all been sitting for more than an hour. She was rewarded with a 30-second chorus of grunts as a room full of 60-something joints creaked.
She also somehow drilled into us a repertoire, that included show tunes, works by Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Simon and Garfunkel, and Vivaldi, among others. I had sung some of the pieces when I was a kid (I got through the Rachmaninoff largely on memory from the mid-70s).
And then there was the actual concert Friday night. I know I missed the last note in Scarborough Fair (I was close, but my voice wasn't where it was supposed to be), and I know I had a lot of company. But a couple of pieces later, we did a medley from Richard Rodgers, which concluded with a rather moving rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone (another one I was able to do pretty much from memory). Jan's body language at the end told us that was one we nailed.
The final work was the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah.
Most of the concert can be found at www.facebook.com/hcialumni/videos/1507460605955649 (I'm the grey-haired, bearded, bespectacled guy somewhere in the middle), and I have to say I think the Hallelujah sounded pretty good. A lot of people I talked to later agreed, including Beth and Michael.
The last couple of weeks have been a tricky time, as I had to free up my Wednesday evenings. Like about 140 other people, I did it because I wanted to. Jan led us through it all because she wanted to.
Humberside marked its centennial 25 years ago, and Jan, who was still teaching at the time, had put together an alumni choir, which I joined with appropriate eagerness. I walked away from that experience happy that I had participated once again in something that had been such a special part of my youth, but sad as I realized I would probably never get a chance to do something like that again.
But I did get another chance, and am now a lot more hopeful than I was 25 years ago.
Right after Friday's concert, I approached Jan, asking her when she would be forming her next alumni choir. I told her to count me in.

Newspeak for taxing the rich at 85% – "Solidarity Tax On Fortunes". Because bending over and taking one from the government is patriotic…
¡No Pasarán!: After Dissing Depardieu's Self-Proclaimed Tax Figures, French Government Forced to Admit That 85% Tax Is Entirely Plausible.
After stating that it was impossible for any one taxpayer to have to pay 85% of his income or fortune in taxes, as (the departing) Gérard Depardieu was claiming (i.e., suggesting that the movie star was lying), a government minister has had to admit that the members of the government were, or at least that he himself was, wrong and did not know the nation's tax figures.

|Ruby with Kevin Jr (September 2013)
Ruby was captured during the government's 'Wildlife Intervention Plan' in September and was in good health at the time so simply given a hormone implant and released. Unlike our other koalas, she did not move once all the trees in that patch died. Two weeks after her health check, she abandoned her joey (I searched to no avail). Three weeks after that, she was dead. She had lost 3kg in just a few weeks. This is just the beginning. I have no doubt that I will find more dead animals next week
Although I understand the complexities of koala management, I question policies behind decisions that allow healthy koalas to be released back into unhealthy habitat. I would have preferred to see Ruby euthanased rather than released back into habitat that could not support her and her joey.
..... And the manna gums also continue to die, and the government still does not provide any support to landholders who are frantically trying to save at least some of their trees.
I have written to our state government pleading for help. If you would like to write too, Victoria's Minister for Environment is Ryan Smith (email@example.com).

For the last month and a half, I have set and reached a goal every single day. And I've been pleasantly surprised to find that Big C, in all of his nearly 6-year-old wisdom and maturity, has willingly and enthusiastically joined me on this adventure.
When I decided to overcome my black thumb and plant an herb garden, he was right next to me transferring soil to the pots. When I focused on conserving energy, he was like the electricity police, practically issuing me a ticket every time I left a light on. And he hasn't forgotten the day I set a timer and took 3 deep breaths every hour. Just the other day when I was beyond frustrated with my leaking furnace and lack of heat, Big C calmly asked, "Mommy, do you need to take a deep breath?"
The fact that Big C has not only been participating with me, but has been taking some of these lessons to heart made me realize that this project I created for myself is growing into something so much more than I intended. It's gone far beyond simply satisfying my need to spruce up my life a little. I'm actually teaching my children a lesson I wish I had learned years ago:
A world of opportunities can open up if you just jump out of your comfort zone once in a while and embrace new experiences.
Today I wanted Big C to do something outside his comfort zone, help him embrace a new experience. So I signed him up to read to therapy dogs at our local library. As a kindergarten student, Big C is only beginning to hone his reading skills, and when he gets stumped on several words in a row, he tends to give up. The purpose of the therapy dog reading session is to allow children to gain confidence by reading to an audience that is calm, nonjudgemental, unlikely to interrupt, and more than likely to offer wet kisses as rewards.
Big C was excited all day anticipating his time with the dogs. But when we arrived at the library and were told that parents were encouraged not to accompany their children in the meeting room, Big C's enthusiasm vanished. "You can do it," I prodded. "Once you see those dogs you won't even miss me."
Sure enough, Big C walked tall into that room, and 45 minutes later when I was allowed in to get him, his smile had returned. And in the car on the way home, I couldn't help but smile myself as he asked, "When can I do that again?"
In my excitement to help Big C with an adventure of his own, I neglected to think about how Little C would react upon seeing the dogs in the library. (After all, I've never seen dogs in a library, so for all I know, Little C was wondering if the Cat in the Hat would be next to walk through the door.) The only way to distract her from the dogs and the fact that she wasn't allowed to play with them was to let her to peruse every single picture book in the libary. Ok, I exaggerate. But I certainly wouldn't want to be the librarian in charge of reshelving books tonight.

"Really, Robin Thicke? This is how you're gonna get your soon-to-be-ex-wife Paula Patton back?" Lindsey Weber wrote in Vulture last week when the R&B singer released the track list for his new album, titled, with an extreme lack of subtlety, "Paula." With track names such as "Love Can Grow Back" and "Still Madly Crazy," the album promised to be several unnerving steps beyond Lloyd Dobler's courtship-by-boombox strategy. Robin Thicke is in pain, and we are all expected to bleed with him.
When the album's first video, "Get Her Back," premiered this morning, much of the reaction was to the imagery of the clip, which suggests a violent fight between the couple, over Thicke's plea for a reconciliation. Although I understand the impulse to feel outraged by the idea that domestic violence is an occasion for a romantic grand gesture, my reaction was actually somewhat different. I was bored.
Sexism can be outraging, exhausting and terrifying. Experiencing it can make you despair, or change your life to avoid it. But even the sharp spikes of horror brought on by the most extreme expressions of hatred for women are undergirded by the same thing: a sense of monotony and predictability. Sexism's real power comes less from the occasional shocking setback or act of violence, than from the grinding sameness and persistence of it.
Robin Thicke's biggest hits and headlines in recent years are a perfect reflection of this kind of stifling dullness.
Sure, it is disturbing that his smash single "Blurred Lines" aims an eraser at the line between consensual sex and force. But as a matter of both artistry and sexism, it is incredibly tiresome that we are supposed to get excited about grade-school dirty puns that substitute for rhyming or Thicke's celebrations of the size of his genitalia in an unrated cut of the music video.
The smug expression on Thicke's face when the much-younger Miley Cyrus twerked up on him at the 2013 Video Music Awards was the look of a man who thinks he is getting away with something. Thicke was apparently unaware that "dirty old man" is a well-established tradition, and joining it was not a particularly daring or clever act. The firestorm that enveloped the pair in the days that followed, and the fact that it mostly scorched Cyrus, was entirely predictable.
Now, once again, Thicke seems to have confused the intensity of his own emotions with any sort of public interest in his efforts to reconcile with his wife.
I suppose we are meant to think it is in some way significant that Thicke illustrates the video for "Get Her Back" with what we can only hope is an imaginary text message conversation between himself and Patton. But Thicke is not actually subverting narratives of domestic violence, relationship conflict or even his own musical genre by self-flagellating in public, or by seeming to accept criticism of his drinking, embarrassing behavior, or even intimate violence.
Singing "I gotta treat her right, I gotta cherish her for life," or any variation thereof, is not proof of self-awareness or artistic insight. It is a massive cliche, and one with sometimes-deadly implications for the women who are urged by violent or emotionally abusive partners that this time it will be different. This is not even to mention the idea that my colleague Ann Hornaday identified as so prevalent in pop culture, that the simple fact of male persistence ought to be enough to bring a woman around to loving him.
Good art can play with tropes like this one. The second season of "Orange Is the New Black" has a sensitive exploration of why a woman might stay with a violent man who was good with her children. Thicke's protestation of reform, set against women's naked bodies and blooming roses, does not meet that standard.
For artists, this should be a cautionary tale. Whether art is ideologically correct is not the measure of its entertainment value. But dragging listeners, viewers and readers through the same, endlessly boring things they are asked to swallow every day ought to be.

Pu'u Ola'i, a large cinder cone resembling a scrub-covered fedora, frames the view to the left. A protective cove curves inward to the right with a crescent of sand just visible in the distance. Swaying palms dot the thick and fragrant foliage in the foreground. This beautiful spot called Makena plays a significant role in Maui's history, and with new development plans in the works, will be a changing landscape in Maui's future.

A BRAND new Welsh butter has been created especially to cater for discerning Welsh taste buds that traditionally like their spread a little saltier.
Welsh Valleys Butter – being launched across all 43 Welsh Tesco stores today with an introductory price of 99p – has been made especially to appeal to the Welsh palate that prefers salty flavours.
Its maker, Collier's, said the recipe combines freshly-churned Carmarthenshire cream with 2% sea salt which gives a "rich, creamy, full flavour".
Collier's marketing manager, Crickhowell-based Chris Swire, said despite falling demand for butter in the past 25 years, sales of it had now stabilised as discerning customers favour butter over margarine and spreads because it is a "pure and natural product".
"In Wales, we have always liked our butter to taste a little bit saltier," he said.
"Collier's is a truly Welsh product – using milk from Carmarthenshire dairy herds, it is packed and distributed from Cross Hands."
Professor Peter Stead, a Welsh culture historian based at Swansea, said salty butter has a flavour that the Welsh find hard to resist because it was favoured by miners working down the South Wales pits.
And he said Welsh consumers' liking for more salty foods could have several other causes too.
"Living near the coast we are used to the salty air," he said.
"We live in an Atlantic climate with heavy rainfall, so there is salt in the grass that our livestock eat, and it affects the flavour of the meat too.
"The Welsh economy was founded on manual labour such as mining and farming, and sweating during physical work would increase the appetite for salt.
"There was plenty of salt in the diet because it was used as a preservative and that seems to have affected our taste buds today."
Tyrone O'Sullivan, who was the National Union of Mineworkers branch secretary at Tower Colliery for more than 20 years, said miners had acquired such a taste for salt, that they would probably have added extra salt to unsalted butter.
"My one weakness is Welsh salted butter on fresh bread, I love it," he said. "I keep a special smooth knife, with a wooden handle that has been in the family for years, just to spread butter.
"When Collier's came up with the new cheese product they came to Tower for us to taste it.
"Miners loved salt and they would have too much sugar, too."
Launched in 2002, Collier's is made from Welsh milk at the Llandyrnog Creamery in Denbighshire. It is made to an old and closely guarded recipe.
Joy Cowan, of Fayrefield Foods, the UK's largest privately- owned dairy company that markets the products, said: "Collier's have been in business several years. Its cheese is popular in England as well as Wales, so that's why we've gone into butter.
"The brand stands well for Wales. Customers like its provenance, as part of the move towards regional food."
Mark Grant, Tesco senior buyer for Wales, said he is keen to source as many local products as he can.
"We are very pleased to be able to offer our customers yet another great product made in Wales," he said.
Catherine Washbrook, a public health dietician for Cardiff and Vale NHS Wales, agreed that people tended to prefer butter to margarine, especially in baking.
"It is all down to individual taste and there's nothing quite like butter spread on your toast in the morning," she said.
"Butter has had a bad name in the past but there is no such thing as bad or good foods. It is more a case of bad or good eating habits.
"Eaten in small quantities, butter is fine but it has saturated fats and can cause cholesterol and add calories in large quantities.
"People get so much salt in processed food that they no longer need added salt.
"Problems can arise if it is kept in the fridge and it tends to be hard so you can end up using a lot more of it than margarine, which is easy to spread thinner and can increase levels of good cholesterol HDL."
She said for health reasons, it could be a good idea for diet- conscious consumers to have both butter and margarine in their fridges, using smaller amounts of butter and larger amounts of margarine.

Israeli archaeologists have uncovered an ancient well built approximately 8,500 years ago, on the western side of the Jezreel Valley, south of the Lower Galilee region in Israel.
The well, some eight metres deep and 1.3m in diameter, was found during excavation work prior to the widening of Highway 66 in northern Israel. Artefacts recovered from the well suggest that it probably belonged to farmers, according to archaeologists.
"The impressive well that was revealed was connected to an ancient farming settlement and it seems the inhabitants used it for their subsistence and living," Yotam Tepper, the excavation director, speaking on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), said. "The finds include, among other things, deeply denticulated sickle blades knapped from flint which were used for harvesting, as well as arrow heads and stone implements."
The upper part of the well is built of stone and the lower part hewn in the bedrock. Two capstones, which narrowed the opening or were probably used to cover the well when not in use, have also been found.
Artefacts apart, animal bones and charcoal remains were also found in the well's shaft. Archaeologists believe that the organic remains will help future studies about the domestication of plants and animals in prehistory. The well also reveals the surprising quarrying skills of the people in the region, thousands of years ago.
"The well that was exposed in the Jezreel Valley reflects the impressive quarrying ability of the site's ancient inhabitants and the extensive knowledge they possessed regarding the local hydrology and geology which enabled them to quarry the limestone bedrock down to the level of the water table. No doubt the quarrying of the well was a community effort that lasted a long time," Tepper added.
The well unearthed in the Jezreel Valley is one of the three oldest prehistoric wells yet discovered. The other two were found at sites in Cyprus and Atlit Yam. These wells indicate the beginning of human domestication.
"The exposure of these wells makes an important contribution to the study of man's culture and economy in a period when pottery vessels and metallic objects had still not yet been invented," Dr. Omri Barzilai, head of IAA's Prehistory Branch concluded.

The eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be checked in a number of ways. The client may be asked to recognize illuminated letter or objects of varying sizes on exactly what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. Stress within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In specific illness, especially in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased markedly.
However, it needs to be well bore in mind that a patient with an eye problem may have other issues too. Often other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can notify the doctor and the client to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
One's dependence on sight is emphasized when one deals with a temporary or possible irreversible loss of this vital sense. Hence, when corrective procedures are looked for, specific types of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with the truth that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were established to motivate reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is go to the website another form of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is fixed permanently.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, allowing much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals must understand. Most likely, the main reason this type of eye surgical treatment has ended up being well accepted is since the majority of its cases had actually succeeded.
In spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the see page most sensitive parts of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be very risky.
In other words, a simple mistake could nearly trigger an individual's lifetime loss of sight. It is important to consider many factors before deciding whether LASIK eye surgery is the best corrective measure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a ideal procedure
LASIK eye surgery might fix your vision however it does not always suggest that it can offer you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always indicate they have ideal vision.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK might not always be the ideal eye surgery the way the majority of people article view it
On the other hand, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in several methods. It needs to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can inform the patient and the doctor to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction.
2 Details Individuals Do Certainly Not Have Information Concerning LASIK Eye Medical Procedures

I was talking to a friend the other day who asked, what exactly constitutes mid century modern. I was surprised because the aesthetic of MCM has become so ubiquitous in the last few years, I thought everyone knew by now. A lot of people throw around the term "modern" when what they probably really mean is contemporary. Contemporary means "now", it's the fashion or the design of today. "Modern" tends to refer more to something that happened at a moment in time. Mid Century Modern happened right smack dab in the middle of the last century. Think mid 1940s through 60s.
This design style has never totally gone out of style, though in the 70s people thought it looked "dated". Some people with good taste never did get tired of it and it sort of evolved into a kind of Scandinavian design concept.
It's a lovely style full of clean lines and designer chairs and lots of linear feel. It has the ability to be warm and austere all at the same time.
Here are some great examples of mid century design, and after the photos a re-cap of some of the recent posts (with links) I've done on particular styles of home design, all prompted by questions from blog readers and other who want to know what separates one style from another.

Welcome, Time Warner Subscribers, to NBA TV
Tonight at 7:30 p.m., the Knicks will tip off at Madison Square Garden against the Charlotte Bobcats. For the second time in 2012, if you are a Time Warner subscriber, you will not be able to watch it. Thanks to that billionaire-corporation face-off, Channels 27 and 727 won't take you to the MSG Network and the Knicks game tonight. They'll take you to NBA TV. It's no Knicks game, but you should know: The network does kind of rock.
Generally speaking, we tend to prefer league-owned and sport-specific networks to, say, ESPN: What you lose in editorial independence (and that's far more of an issue in theory than in practice), you more than make up for in obsessive overcoverage of the sport you care about enough to watch a whole channel about it. (And it's not exactly like ESPN is renowned for its "editorial independence" anyway.) It's the type of thing that makes you want to go watch The NFL Network ... oh, right, Time Warner won't let us do that either. [bangs head]
Anyway, we've been watching NBA TV for a few years now, down on Channel 488, right in between ESPN Deportes and the MLB Network. It's been on the regular sports tier for a year or so, but we originally paid extra for it on a bonus tier. (It came with CBS College Sports, which we ordered to watch an Illinois basketball game.) We became obsessed with it pretty quickly. The whole channel is basically patterned after TNT/TBS's Inside the NBA — it even reruns that show a couple of nights a week — and features several Charles Barkley wannabes, from Chris Webber to Steve Smith — even Brent Barry. That's okay, though, because they're all very good, and their signature show, NBA GameTime, is essentially a jazzier, more fun SportsCenter that's solely about the NBA. Also, it's only half an hour, so you can pop in and pop out in no time at all.
The network has other shows like Open Court — which is like the MLB Network's Intentional Talk, except about 45,000-times more tolerable — and NB80's, which is a short doc show about eighties rivalries. It also randomly shows old games as NBA Hardwood Classics; Thursday night, they'll be showing Game 6 of the 1994 NBA Finals, if you dare watch it.
But the real key might be the number of actual live games it shows, not just in their entirety — tonight's Knicks-Bobcats replacements are Wizards-Magic and Rockets-Clippers — but also the live cut-ins they do during their live "NBA Game Time" segments, essentially turning the channel into the NBA Red Zone channel. Which, for many people, is the best way to watch the NBA anyway.
Sure, you still won't be able to watch Knicks games — even the ones slated to be on NBA TV at season's start — and that certainly stinks. (We recommend tuning them in on the radio while following along on NBA.com's TV Companion. But until Time Warner and MSG stop acting like the jerks they are and giving us games, it's a perfectly reasonable substitute. Once the MSG Network comes back, you might find yourself, when it comes to NBA TV, addicted. Which is, of course, always the point.

The Night Before Batmas
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the Asylum;
Not a felon was stirring – Well, except Tweedledum.
The straightjackets were tightened up on the felons with care;
With hope that in the morning, they'd all still be there.
The guards all wished they were home in their beds;
And took bets on which monster would remove their heads.
Dr. Arlham in his office, was reading a tome
When suddenly there was a crashing KABOOM!
From the prison yard it came, this loud booming noise,
That threatened to awaken the twisted girls and boys.
Away from the windows guards flew like The Flash.
Fearing they'd soon have a smile-shaped gash
On the moon shone a light, yet a shadow as well.
The image of a bat, from straight out of hell.
And there in the yard, what should appear?
But the one grim avenger those monsters all feared.
With his dark volumus cape and pointed cowl,
He stood and stared at the villains all foul.
Then behind him from shadows more heroes arose.
All with grim expressions and dramatic pose.
"Come Robin, now Nightwing. Now Spoiler and Halo!
On Knight and on Squire, Red Hood and El Gaucho!
Take up a perimeter, keep eyes on the wall
Remain here at guard, lest Gotham fall"
Then they dropped back into the shadows, like ninjas of old.
Leaving only one hero, there out in the cold.
So up to the building, he dramatically stalked.
His footsteps like a ninja as he soundlessly walked.
And then! With a jingle a batline stuck the roof
Then swung away that knight, both dark and aloof.
Seconds later in the main cellblock, he suddenly appeared.
Surrounded by villains – some insane, some just weird.
They were dressed all in orange, in rooms made of foam.
Their criminal acts had made Arkham their home.
They were paying the price for the crimes they'd committed.
For in the court of the Batman, few are acquainted.
His eyes –how they gleamed – lit with fire within
His jaw set with confidence that justice would win.
His grim mouth didn't smile, not since he was eight.
The day of a movie, some pearls and his fate.
The gleam of a batarang was seen in his fist.
As Zzazz and Croc in their cells booed and hissed.
The Batman ignored them and just turned away.
He had a more important mission that day.
He was brave and bold, a caped crusader indeed.
But today he was thinking of a different need.
He went to the fireplace in the break room and stood.
Then tapped and knocked at a joist made of wood.
The wall slid open, the secret mission revealed
Behind that wall was the Joker, now unconcealed.
The Batman was silent, he simply let loose with his fist
The clown prince of crime simply could not resist.
As he was led to his cell, that murderous clown,
He looked out a window at the skyline of town
And then he cackled, in evil delight
"Merry Batmas to you, and to all a good-night!"

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit
December 26, 2013
Randy G. SPENCER, Plaintiff-Appellantv.JACKSON COUNTY MISSOURI; Kenneth Conley, Defendants Carter; Williams; Anthony, Defendants-Appellees Nurse Jane Doe, Defendant.
Submitted: Sept. 26, 2013.
Page 908
Matthew G. DiMeglio, Law Student, Washington U. School of Law, St. Louis, MO, argued (D. Bruce La Pierre, Prof. of Law, David A. Collier, Allison E. Jones, Law Students, Washington U. School of Law, Brian C. Walsh, Bryan Cave LLP, St. Louis, MO, on the brief), for appellant.
Tracey Chappell, Asst. County Counselor, Jackson County, Kansas City, MO, argued, for appellees.
Before MURPHY, MELLOY, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
MURPHY, Circuit Judge.
Randy G. Spencer filed this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Jackson County, Missouri and employees in its detention center, alleging violation of his constitutional rights by Margo Carter, the supervisor of the inmate worker program, and case managers Gale Anthony and Brenda Williams. The district court granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment. Spencer appeals the dismissal of his First Amendment claims. After carefully reviewing the record, we reverse and remand.
Page 909
On this appeal from the grant of defendants' motion for summary judgment, we view all facts in the light most favorable to plaintiff Randy Spencer. Spencer was booked into the detention center in January 2005 on charges of tampering with a motor vehicle, assaulting a police officer, stealing over $750, and resisting arrest. Spencer's prior criminal record included a number of past charges of second degree burglary, stealing over $150, and parole violation. He was described in his detention center inmate worksheet as " [m]ature, cooperative, [and] non aggressive."
Spencer was approved for the detention center's Inmate Worker Program (IWP), also known as the " trustee program," on February 14, 2005. Inmates in the trustee program receive job assignments within the detention center and are paid for each shift, with an opportunity to earn more for additional work. They also receive a number of privileges and incentives. They are housed in a trustee module and are eligible for late nights, weekend contact visitation rewards, and access to popcorn, soda, and a movie player. One of Spencer's work assignments in 2005 was in the kitchen; inmates assigned to the kitchen receive extra food and may have one meal per work day in the break room area.
According to Spencer, he and his program supervisor Margo Carter (then Margo Hurse) had a good relationship during his 2005 stay in the IWP. After Spencer participated in a question and answer session for a university criminal justice seminar, Carter wrote him a letter on April 18 stating that she " sincerely want[ed] to thank" Spencer for his participation in the IWP and wished him " luck in [his] future lifelong endeavors." Spencer left the IWP in late April 2005 to enter a drug and alcohol treatment program which he successfully completed in May. He then requested reentry to the trustee program. His case manager, Marvin Walker, congratulated him on his completion of the treatment program and wrote that he would " get [him] back in the [trustee] program A.S.A.P." Spencer was again approved for the trustee program and remained in it until he left the detention center in June 2005.[1]
Spencer filed a lawsuit against Carter and other employees of the detention center in 2006, alleging that he had received inadequate medical and dental care there, lack of response to his requests and grievances, and retaliation by Carter. Spencer asserts that Carter received notice of the action because he sent her " interrogatories, requests for admissions and production of documents requests."
On October 17, 2009 Spencer returned to the detention center on a new charge of stealing over $750. He was at this time 53 years old and aside from the new charge his criminal record was the same as in 2005. He was again approved for the trustee program. Then on October 28, Spencer spoke to Carter while she was investigating an incident that occurred in the trustee module. Spencer claims that Carter recognized his voice and face during this conversation, during which he told her he was sorry for filing the lawsuit and expressed the hope he could stay in the trustee program. Carter replied, " I don't know." Then, in " what seem[ed] like only a few seconds," Carter came to tell him that he was being terminated from the program. Spencer was then terminated and moved from the trustee module to H module, a housing area without the special features of the trustee program.
Page 910
One day after being terminated from the trustee program Spencer submitted a Request for Administrative Remedy form (known as a " JPO" ), which is generally required before filing a formal grievance, asking Carter to " reconsider [her] decision." He wrote that " you wouldn't have even known about it had I not said something and I did that out of my heart because I was concerned if you were mad[ ] at me and that was because I thought we were friends at ...
