Pros: tastes like whipped cream, inexpensive, easy to find
Cons: not the highest quality vodka, may be too sweet for some
My husband and I are regulars at the local watering hole on Saturday afternoons for lunch. The bartender knows us well and recently decided to experiment with a new vodka that they had just gotten in: Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka. I drank my usual mojito, but she decided to give my husband a cocktail containing root beer vodka, diet Coke, and the new whipped cream vodka. We had never heard of such a thing before, so we were happy to be her guinea pigs and check it out. On the way home, we actually stopped at the local liquor store to buy our own bottle of this stuff!
About This Product
Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka is one of the newest options in flavored vodkas. It contains artificial whipped cream flavor and contains 35% alcohol by volume which puts it at 70 proof. The front of the bottle states that it is "made with imported vodka from France" while the back says that it is produced and bottled in Maine, USA. One has to question the quality of the "imported" vodka, though, when a 1.75 liter bottle of Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka costs just $21 and is sold in a plastic bottle.
The company web site has 100 different recipes for this product. Some are predictable like the "Whipped Coffee Cream" (hot coffee, splash of half and half, and 2 ounces vodka), "Orange Smack" (orange juice and 2 ounces vodka), "Cream Smack" (ginger ale and 1 ounce vodka), while others are pretty out there such as the "Birthday Cake Shot" (vodka, 1 tbsp dry vanilla cake mix, 1/2 ounce Irish Cream, and 1/2 ounce half and half), the "Woohoo" (vodka and limeade), and the "Cotton Whipped" (1 ounce whipped vodka, 1 ounce cotton candy vodka, and Red Bull).
Our Experience
We liked our first exposure to Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka that afternoon at the bar and are still enjoying it. It really does taste just like whipped cream! You can discern the different cream and vanilla components in the artificial flavor. I never thought I'd like vodka with a flavor devoted specifically to whipped cream, but I really really do.
The "Root Beer Float" drink is something that you can have one of and enjoy, but it is too sweet for most people to drink for any length of time. We've also had it with orange vodka and a splash of OJ for a "creamsicle", mixed into coffee, mixed into hot chocolate, and chilled as a shot. This vodka is a bit rough if you try to drink it warm, but it becomes smoother if you chill it in a shaker for shots or even in a shot glass with a piece of ice to sip.
With our crew, this Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka will most likely be used for shots or as an ingredient in espresso martinis. We don't make many fancy frou-frou cocktails unless one of the guys brings a new girlfriend over. In that case, maybe we'd have to use it to make some kind of fancy frozen drink. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that we'll be drinking it straight up.
Overall Opinion
I don't claim to be a vodka or alcohol connoisseur, though I certainly have imbibed my fair share over the years. Vodka purists will probably hate this whipped cream flavored vodka as will people who don't like their drinks to be particularly sweet. Less-picky people, fans of sweets, or just regular people like myself may really like this Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka. It certainly is cheap enough at $15 for 750mL and $20 for 1.75L that you can feel comfortable buying and experimenting with it yourself. We will definitely be buying this stuff again!

Free Malware, Spyware, and Adware Protection
Did you get a shiny new computer as a holiday gift? Good for you! It probably came with a time-limited trial of some well-known premium antivirus utility. As the end of the trial nears, the antivirus will start nagging you to subscribe. If you don't, you'll lose your protection at the end of the trial. Don't want to subscribe, or pay for a different premium product? Then you'd better be ready with a free replacement. Fortunately, there are some very good antivirus utilities that cost nothing. We've tested and reviewed 17 of them to help you decide which suits you best.
Your antivirus should definitely have the ability to root out existing malware, but its ongoing task is to prevent ransomware, botnets, Trojans, and other types of nasty programs from getting a foothold. All of the antivirus programs in this collection offer real-time malware protection. Some take the fight upstream, working hard to ensure you never even browse to a malware-hosting site, or get fooled into turning over your credentials to a phishing site.
Free Antivirus vs. Paid Antivirus
If free antivirus tools are so great, why should anybody pay? For one thing, quite a few of these products are free only for noncommercial use; if you want to protect your business, you have to pony up for the paid edition. At that point, you should probably consider upgrading to a full security suite. After all, it's your business's security on the line.
Even for personal use, most for-pay antivirus tools offer more than their free counterparts—sometimes a lot more. For example, Kaspersky Free doesn't include the paid edition's powerful System Watcher component, which monitors processes exhibiting malicious behavior and, if necessary, rolls back changes made by malware. The paid edition of adaware's antivirus adds a similar behavior-based detection tool, along with protection against malicious and fraudulent websites that the free version lacks. And Panda reserves quite a few features for paying customers, among them firewall protection, application control, and detection of insecure Wi-Fi connections.
In addition, many companies don't offer full-scale tech support for users of the free edition. The first time you need extra help digging a particularly stubborn piece of malware out of your system, you might regret the lack of support.
Independent Antivirus Lab Test Results
Around the world, researchers at independent antivirus testing labs spend their days putting antivirus tools to the test. Some of these labs regularly release public reports on their findings. I follow four such labs closely: AV-Comparatives, AV-Test Institute, SE Labs, and MRG-Effitas. I also take note of whether vendors have contracted for certification by ICSA Labs and West Coast Labs.
Security companies typically pay for the privilege of being included in testing. In return, the labs supply them with detailed reports that can help improve their products. The number of labs that include a particular vendor serves as a measure of significance. In each case, the lab considered the product important enough to test, and the vendor felt the price was worthwhile. The labs don't necessarily test a vendor's free product, but most vendors pack full protection into the free product, enhancing premium versions with additional features.
We Test Malware Protection
In addition to carefully perusing results from the independent labs, I also run my own hands-on malware protection test. I expose each antivirus to a collection of malware samples, including a variety of different malware types, and note its reaction. Typically the antivirus will wipe out most of the samples on sight, and detect some of the remaining ones when I try to launch them. I derive a malware blocking score from 0 to 10 points based on how thoroughly the antivirus protects the test system from these samples.
Since I use the same samples month after month, the malware-blocking test definitely doesn't measure a product's ability to detect brand-new threats. In a separate test, I attempt to download malware from 100 very new malicious URLs supplied by MRG-Effitas, typically less than a day old. I note whether the antivirus blocked all access to the URL, wiped out the malicious payload during download, or did nothing. Norton holds the current top score in this test, followed by Trend Micro Antivirus+ Security and Avira Free Antivirus.
If you're interested in learning more about my testing techniques, you're welcome to read more about how we test security software.
Useful Features
Just about every antivirus product scans files on access to make sure malware can't launch, and also scans the entire system on demand, or on a schedule you set. Once that cleaning and scheduling is done, blocking all access to malware-hosting URLs is another good way to avoid trouble. Many products extend that protection to also steer users away from fraudulent websites, phishing sites that try to steal login credentials for financial sites and other sensitive sites. A few rate links in search results, flagging any dangerous or iffy ones.
Behavior-based detection, a feature of some antivirus products, is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it can detect malware that's never been seen before. On the other hand, if it's not done right, it can baffle the user with messages about perfectly legitimate programs.
Any antivirus should eliminate spyware along with other types of malware, but some products include features designed specifically for spyware protection. Features like encryption to protect your sensitive data and webcam control to prevent remote peeping typically show up in commercial products, not free ones. But some free products include features like a simple on-screen keyboard to foil keyloggers.
One easy way to keep your PC protected is to install all security updates, both for Windows and for browsers and other popular applications. Windows 10 makes it easier than ever to stay up to date, but there are plenty of security holes in older Windows versions, in popular apps, and in add-ons. Scanning for vulnerabilities in the form of missing updates is a feature most often found in commercial antivirus products, but it does turn up in some free ones. In the chart above you can see which products include these useful features.
What's Not Here? What About Windows Defender?
This article reports only on free antivirus products that received at least a good rating in our reviews—three stars or better. Among those that didn't make the cut is Microsoft Windows Defender Security Center, with 2.5 stars. All of the independent labs I follow do include Microsoft in testing, but most use it as a baseline. If a product can't do better than the baseline, it's got real problems.
Several free utilities devoted entirely to ransomware protection recently joined the party. Cybereason RansomFree, Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware Beta, and Trend Micro RansomBuster exist for the sole purpose of fending off any ransomware attack that your regular antivirus misses. Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware works by fooling ransomware to think that your computer is already infected. I include them in the blurbs below and encourage you to give them a try. They don't appear in the chart simply because they don't do the job of a full-scale antivirus utility.
There are also numerous free antivirus utilities that work solely to clean up existing malware infestations. You bring out these cleanup-only tools when you have a nasty malware problem. When the malware's gone, they have no further use, since they offer no ongoing protection. Our favorite in this category is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and it's definitely one you should try if you've got a malware problem. But since they're free, you can keep trying others if the first one doesn't do the job. When the scare is over, you'll need a full-blown antivirus for ongoing protection.
What's the Best Free Antivirus?
Our current Editors' Choice products for free antivirus utility are Avast Free Antivirus and AVG AntiVirus Free. Both get very good scores from the independent labs, and in our own tests as well. Both include some useful bonus features. Avast in particular packs a password manager and a network security scanner in its toolkit. If you do have a little cash in your budget for security, the best paid antivirus software does offer more and better protection. If not, try a few of these free tools and see which one you like best.

Liverpool have a player who thrives against Tottenham Hotspur...so could he score against them yet again?
Liverpool welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield this evening in a match that could have it all.
Both sides have goal-scorers and creators who have impressed in recent times, while their defences have both seen marked improvements since their worrying beginnings back in August.
The headline names are obvious – Liverpool have Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho while Tottenham are blessed with Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. But there is another player who Spurs will want to pay very close attention to.
Jordan Henderson is having a wonderful season in terms of assists – 10 and counting – but three goals in 35 appearances is not a record to set an opponents' heart racing.
Except in this case, Henderson's average should be ignored in favour of what he is making a habit of doing against Tottenham.
|Goal Assist
|Jordan Henderson
Two goals in his last three appearances in this fixture – along with two assists – mean Henderson is a key player and one Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will have paid very close attention to in the build-up.
Earlier this season Liverpool ran out 3-0 winners in the reverse fixture, with Henderson setting up one of the strikes, but he will not want to go a whole season without getting what is becoming a regular goal against a side still buzzing from their outstanding success in the North London derby.

The key to reaching Hispanic voters? Speak both their languages!
WASHINGTON, D.C. (September 22) -- Today, The Hispanic Institute launched a bilingual public service announcement video encouraging Hispanics to vote in this November's midterm elections. The video -- which transitions seamlessly between English and Spanish -- is part of the Institute's 2014 Get-Out-The-Vote campaign.
Our Responsibility to Vote! from Aalia Network on Vimeo.
"America's 54 million Hispanics owe it to themselves and their families to make their voices heard at the polls this November," said Gus West, Board Chair of The Hispanic Institute. "Our video appeals to Hispanic Americans' sense of civic duty -- whatever their preferred language may be."
Historically, Hispanics have been under-represented politically. That's largely because they've voted at rates 25 percent lower than blacks and whites.
The Hispanic Institute's video aims to change that. And reaching Hispanics requires bilingual outreach. The U.S. Census Bureau predicts the use of Spanish as the primary language will decrease among Hispanics in the coming years. Already, a quarter of Hispanic Americans speak only English at home.
The Hispanic Institute is looking to air its Get-Out-The-Vote video in five states with the most competitive elections this fall: Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia, and Iowa.
"With the mid-term elections just six weeks away, Hispanics have a historic chance to influence policy on the issues that matter most to them," said West. "Our campaign will call on them to seize that opportunity."
For more information or to schedule an interview with The Hispanic Institute, please contact XiNomara Velazquez Yehuda at (202) 544-8284 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
About The Hispanic InstituteThe Hispanic Institute (THI) is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization that seeks to promote and grow the participation of Hispanics in civic engagement and the electoral process. To achieve this goal, THI organizes and implements Voter Registration, Voter Education, and Get-Out-The-Vote projects throughout the country.

'We've got him over for 10 days and he looks exciting, but the most important thing is how he shows in the games.`
Leeds striker Enoch Showunmi is predicting a bright future at Leeds for young American striker Mike Grella. Grella was still waiting for his first Leeds goal but Showunmi believes the goals would come a plenty once he was off the mark.

Japan Air Probes Dreamliner Fuel Leak as FAA Holds Review
Japan Airlines Co. (9201) is investigating a fuel leak on a Boeing Co. (BA) 787 Dreamliner, the model that experienced an onboard fire last week in Boston and is now the subject of a U.S. safety review.
The leak occurred Jan. 13 during maintenance at Tokyo's Narita airport, Japan Airlines said yesterday in a statement. The jet was the same one that had a leak at Boston's Logan International Airport on Jan. 8, the carrier said.
"Fuel from a nozzle on the left wing used for discharging fuel leaked out," Japan Airlines said in the statement. "This aircraft was not scheduled to be in service today and no passengers or working staff on the ground were injured. Appropriate inspections will be carried out."
The latest incident extended a week of operational setbacks for Boeing's newest and most technologically complex jet. Japan Airlines' first leak came Jan. 8, the day after the fire, followed by a cockpit window cracking on one 787 flown by All Nippon Airways Co. (9202) and an oil leak on another ANA Dreamliner.
U.S. officials pronounced the 787 safe last week even as the Federal Aviation Administration disclosed the special review of the plane, citing concern stirred by the fire and other incidents. Electrical faults forced United Continental Holdings Inc. and Qatar Airways Ltd. to ground 787s in December.
Window Repaired
All Nippon repaired the cockpit window that cracked during a flight on Jan. 11, and the plane came back to Tokyo from Matsuyama in western Japan the next day, airline spokeswoman Megumi Tezuka said by telephone today. In the jet that leaked oil, a heat exchanger has been replaced, she said, adding that all 17 Dreamliners of the carrier are now in service.
Japan Air spokeswoman Sze Hunn Yap today said investigation for the Jan. 13 fuel leak is continuing. Five of the carrier's seven Dreamliners are in service, she said by phone.
"We are aware of the incident and are working with our customer," Paul Lewis, a spokesman for Chicago-based Boeing, said by e-mail.
The two Japanese carriers are among the biggest operators of the Dreamliner, the first jet with a fuselage made chiefly of composite materials. The 787 entered commercial service more than three years late in 2011.
Boeing has marketed the twin-engine jet as a way to open new routes between far-flung cities that don't need the capacity of larger wide-bodies such as the 777 and the 747 jumbo jet. The 787 has become the planemaker's fastest-selling model ever, with 848 orders through the end of 2012.

I've heard Alameda compared to Kansas, Mayberry, and any varation on a small, tranquil little town. But in the last week, I've read not one, but two characterizations of Alameda as people in fictional media.
The first was in the SFGate article about Alameda Point, Diane Coler-Dark said:
"Alameda's been compared to Dorothy and Toto. It's like part of Kansas was plopped down in the Bay Area," Coler-Dark said.
More recently was a session of On The Couch, also an SFGate joint, the purpose of On The Couch is to talk about couples with a cute backstory. The couple featured yesterday was an Alameda couple and buried within the story was this quote:
…[T]hey moved to their home in Alameda. "We love it here," they both agree. "It's like Andy of Mayberry," says Leslie…
Personally, if we are ascribing personality characteristics to Alameda, I would say Alameda is like Alice from the Brady Bunch. Constantly cleaning up after a huge dysfunctional family.

Optional Content
All applicable ECU academic programs prepare students to sit for licensure in North Carolina. In order to comply with U.S. Department of Education regulations regarding distance education and professional licensure ECU is required to make the following disclosure with respect to professional licensure outside the state of North Carolina. ECU cannot confirm whether a particular program meets requirements for professional licensure outside of the State of North Carolina. Please contact applicable licensure board(s) in any state you may want to pursue licensure prior to beginning the academic program in order to determine whether the program meets licensure requirements. It is the student's responsibility to confirm program eligibility for licensure in any state outside North Carolina.
Important Note to Residents Outside North Carolina:
Admission of applicants outside the State of North Carolina to an online degree, certificate or individual online course offered by East Carolina University, is dependent on ECU's ability to secure authorization from the applicant's state of residence, if such authorization is required.
East Carolina University delivers online education programs and courses throughout the United States and internationally. All programs have been approved by the University of North Carolina General Administration. Many states have prescribed an "authorization" process for out-of-state institutions delivering online programs to its state residents to ensure quality post-secondary education, to preserve the integrity of an academic degree, and to instill greater consumer protection for its student citizens.
East Carolina University has taken steps to protect its students and operations through nationwide compliance: by participation in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA); obtaining authorization, approval, exemptions and waivers; or confirming that East Carolina University can operate without such authorization because the state's laws do not pertain to a public institution, to an accredited institution, or to the ECU's activities in that state.
As of November 14, 2016, East Carolina University is approved by to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education. Institutions that are members of SARA are authorized to provide online education to students from all SARA member states. States and institutions that choose to become members of SARA operate under a set of policies and standards overseen by the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements and administered by four regional higher education compacts. For more information about the SARA initiative and the progress of state and institutional membership.Because authorization is an evolving area, please check this site again for the latest statement from ECU.

Today, Congressman Pete Visclosky testified before the U.S. International Trade Commission during their sunset hearing concerning countervailing duties from Turkey and antidumping duties from Brazil, India, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey on certain types of welded pipe and tube. Congressman Visclosky exhorted the Commission to maintain the duties in order to strengthen American steel, preserve American manufacturing, and ensure America's economic competitiveness in the future.
Visclosky's testimony, as prepared for delivery, is below.
I would like to thank Chairman Okun, Vice Chairman Williamson, and all of the members of the Commission for the opportunity to provide testimony on this important hearing involving countervailing duties from Turkey and antidumping duties from Brazil, India, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey on certain types of welded pipe and tube. I deeply appreciate your sincere efforts in this case and in all your initiatives to enforce our trade laws.
As you are well aware, these duties have been in place for some time, and have most recently been extended in June of 2007. There are approximately 1,500 American workers involved in the production of these pipes and tubes right now, and they depend on our trade laws to compete and succeed in this global economy. As our fragile economy is beginning to recover, now is a critical time to ensure that these workers are able to provide their products to American infrastructure and energy projects. Therefore, I urge you to maintain these duties and determine that their revocation would lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury to the U.S. industry.
I also would add that Chairman of the Congressional Steel Caucus Tim Murphy and I will be gathering signatures from other Members of the Steel Caucus for a forthcoming letter on this case that will express the same sentiment.
From a larger economic perspective, I remain adamant that manufacturing is the key driver of our economy, and we must do everything possible to ensure that our manufacturing base remains strong. Currently, less than 10 percent of the nation's workforce is employed in manufacturing, and I would point out that in 1970 over 25 percent of our workforce was in manufacturing. As a percentage of GDP, the numbers are very similar. In 1970, American manufacturing as a percentage of GDP was around 23 percent, now it is around 12 percent. From a global perspective, in 1970, the U.S. had about a 28 percent share of the global manufacturing economy, today we are less than 20 percent, just behind China.
I firmly believe that manufacturing drives innovation. If you stop manufacturing a product in the United States, it is only a matter of time before the engineering and research and development responsible for the product moves overseas. What incentive will there be for our children to become engineers and scientists and researchers in American manufacturing when all of the manufacturing is performed overseas? This is a precarious situation. We must act now to preserve American manufacturing before it is too late, and I encourage you to do so by ensuring that these duties continue.
I thank you again for your fair and thorough consideration of this case, and again appreciate the opportunity to provide testimony to you today.

Xavier University family unites to bring home two new members from Haiti
January 23, 2010
A military transport should soon be taking off from Haiti to bring 109 orphans from La Maison des Enfants de Dieu orphanage, including 6-year-old Sophia Luc and 1-year-old David Valdeus.
Xavier University is known for its extended family and its caring atmosphere. The efforts of a great many members of that family, as well as many others, have resulted in the transport of Sophia and David from a Port-Au-Prince orphanage to the loving adoptive home of Chris and Lauri Pramuk, their son Isaiah and daughter Grace.
Chris Pramuk is an assistant professor in Xavier's department of theology. Lauri is a pediatrician with Group Health Associates. For over a year, they have been in the process of adopting Sophia and Henry David. Recalling a casual conversation last year about the adoption, Rabbi Abie Ingber, founder of Xavier's office of Interfaith Community Engagement, called to check on the children after hearing about last Tuesday's earthquake. Offering to do whatever he could, Ingber was instantly drawn into the effort to get those two children and others already in the process of adoption out of Haiti as quickly as possible. The process often takes as long as five years.
"Having just witnessed the poverty and need in Jamaica, the tragedy in Haiti hit very close to home," says Ingber. "I immediately thought of Chris and Lauri with pictures of their new 'babies' already on their fridge door. They had shared their escalating joy at a hoped-for February trip to bring them home. When I heard about the earthquake, I contacted them and offered to do anything, adding that I believe in miracles. The rest unfolded through the goodness and kindness and prayers and compassion of others."
Many people at Xavier, in government relations, university relations, community relations, faculty, and ministry, as well as alumni, stepped forward to assist in whatever way they could. Students, faculty members and staff have been donating funds to help with rescue and rebuilding of Haiti. Tonight's basketball game will have Hoops for Haiti. Gary Massa, Xavier's vice president of university relations reached out to donors, who made amazing offers of assistance. Congressman Steve Driehaus (D-OH), a co-founder of Xavier's Community Building Institute, and his staff have worked to establish opportunities for saving the orphans. For Sophia and David, it has truly taken a village.
"I am always amazed by the caring and generosity of the Xavier family," Massa says. "Our community, both those currently with the University and our alumni, time after time pulls together in support of those who need it."
After a rollercoaster week-and-a-half, the Xavier family is very excited about welcoming its two newest members and helping them come to love the community, the city and their new home country.

The US bishops have approved and released a letter entitled "Ministry to Persons With a Homosexual Inclination: Guidelines for Pastoral Care." The document was approved at the bishops' meeting in Baltimore.
The document treats of homosexuality — carefully distinguishing between the disorder and intrinsic evil of homosexual acts and the innate dignity and value of the homosexual person.
In accord with the teachings of the Church, the recent document calls homosexuals to live a life of chastity. It says "Chaste living is an affirmation of all that is human, and is the will of God. It is we who suffer when we violate the dictates of our own human nature."
The document does not shy away from the teaching of the Church that says "The homosexual inclination is objectively disordered." It explains that "There is the intrinsic disorder of what is directed toward that which is evil in all cases (contra naturam)."
The document encourages those having a homosexual inclination to seek out true and good friendships as a means of support in their struggle. "True friendships are not opposed to chastity; nor does chastity inhibit friendship. In fact, the virtues of friendship and of chastity are ordered to each other."
The bishops encourage all those involved in Church ministry to reach out to those of the homosexual community and instruct them. It says, "The ministry of the Church to persons with homosexual inclination must always have the overriding aim of fostering the greatest possible friendship with God, participation in the divine life of the Trinity through sanctifying grace."
The document is clear to explain that "the Church cannot support organizations or individuals whose work contradicts, is ambiguous about, or neglects her teaching on sexuality." It goes on to explain that the Church's teaching is frequently rejected in today's day and age because of the prevalence of moral relativity and "an obsession with the pursuit of pleasure" in society.
Church participation, catechesis and the sacraments are offered as some of the means to assist in the struggle to live a virtuous life.
The document concludes with words of encouragement and direction for those with the homosexual inclination who are striving to live out their life in a chaste manner according to the teachings of the Church and also for those ministering to them. "As Jesus Christ came and died for us in order 'to gather into one the dispersed children of God' (Jn 11:52), so we must all work for unity among God's people."

EDITORIAL: Distractions undermine focus needed for special session
Published 1:00 am, Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Any hopes that Gov. Rick Perry would take the high road and decline to add hot-button social issues to the special session faded quickly this week. Perry threw in proposals that would add burdensome regulations to abortion providers, even though the practice is legal and bills like this went nowhere in the regular session. Moreover, the fact that they fizzled allowed lawmakers to concentrate on the real issues confronting them and deal with them effectively.
Just because the governor did this, however, doesn't mean that lawmakers have to take the bait. They need to stay focused in the 30-day special session, which is almost half-over anyway.
They already have to deal with redistricting, never easy, and Perry also has added highway funding - a basic need that should have been addressed in the regular session.
Those issues deserve their attention, not distractions that might be nothing more than fodder for Perry's next presidential campaign.

This is a photo taken of me walking on the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.
For an interview check The Senior Gazette.
Click Current News on menu and look for previous issue of March 2-9, 2009.
My Great Grandfather was a Hudson River Artist, Thomas B. Pope.
I knew at an early age that I was born to be an artist. I received a degree in Art and Art History from Wells College, where my German professor was also a watercolorist. His enthusiasm for the medium created my dream to paint with watercolors.
The dream was on hold during the war years and because of the demands of four children, and in the 1960's I took advantage of New York State's Title II program to receive an MS in Library Science from SUNY Albany.
After 20 years as a Librarian I retired in order to paint full time. My dream had come true at last.
I found many opportunities to study watercolors with the masters.
My first instructor was Carol St.John, followed by Edgar Whitney, Frank Webb, Carlton Plummer, Janet Walsh, Ruth Baderian, Tony Van Hasselt, Charles Sovek among others.
I recommend workshops as a means to explore the many styles and methods of watercolors and to interact with other artists.
This is a 5" x 7" oil painting by T.B. Pope. It is a view of the Hudson River looking north. Pope also painted in pastels and watercolor and like many artists today gave lessons in order to make a living. Pope was a self taught artist and sold to residents of Newburgh, but today his work is found throughout the United States.
Here's a little watercolor by
T. B. Pope that I found in an antique shop.
I prefer working on site or "pleine air", from the French phrase "en pleine aire" meaning in fresh air or out of doors in natural light..
The outdoor experience is sometimes frustrating because of wind, insects, interruptions from other people, the constantly changing light etc.
The rewards outweigh these inconveniences. While you are working all your senses are heightened. You can hear the songs of the birds, hum of insects, music of the trickling stream.
You smell the delicious scents of new mown hay, flowers and herbs, pine trees or the salty air of the ocean. You have a constantly moving panorama of clouds, shadow shapes, other people going about their work and you notice minute details of rocks, flora and fauna.
Being able to reach out and touch the natural world lifts you to another level of joy.
Just don't touch the poison ivy.
Due to age related illness i can no longer paint plein aire, but have beautiful garden and river views from my windows. I will still post new paintings and art events on my What's New page.

As a member of LHVPAP, Lower Hudson Valley Pleine Aire Paintersyou may paint with a group of artists at designated locations absoluely free. All New York State Plein Aire Groups are without charges. For more information about this group contact Jamie Grossman, Director.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of the subjects involved in this aggravated robbery.
Anyone with information is asked to call 210-224-STOP (7867). Tipsters may choose to remain anonymous.

It's called Jerky, which sort of cancels out its privacy settings
SFW Are you a pr0n-loving Fandroid who's sick of having to toggle the privacy button every time you view a grumble flick?
There's help, er, at hand, apparently, with the release of the world's first ever smut-focused web browser.
A developer called Steven Goh has designed a new mobile web browser which is unsubtly called Jerky, a name that presumably doesn't refer to the dried meat dish but the sort of physical action he intends men to perform as they use it.
Fresh from the success of his Chrome extension Go Away Cameron, which allowed users to bypass the PM's porn restrictions, Goh has stepped up his pro-porn mission to another level.
He fears that the crackdown on filth is part of a dirty tricks campaign which could have a chilling effect on internet freedom.
"The UK blocked goawaycameron.co.uk less than a month after it launched, even though it is not a porn site," the developer claimed in an email. "Isn't that quite a clear sign?"
"I don't think this movement of internet censorship will cease, let alone slow down. But the people can fight back. There is the dark internet and other mechanisms, but I think we can do better.
"With Jerky browser, plenty of users are using it not because of its porn bypass, but because it is a helluva browser just on its own.
The "porn bypass browser" features password protection and a built-in private proxy bypass to sidestep ISP filters worldwide.

The dev said that he wasn't so much interested in helping the world see more porn, as wanting to maintain an uncensored internet.
"The world does not need a porn browser. Rather, the world needs more browsers, which are our gateway to the internet, focusing on privacy," he said.
"Now, it also happens that in some parts of the world, the internet is nannied with censorship. I don't believe that power should lie with the government. With the desktop, we have the option of VPN, and even simple Chrome extensions like Go away Cameron that bypass internet filters. But it isn't that easy on a mobile device.
"This is a personal crusade, it is just that people actually like and want porn. And I happen to have zero awkwardness about this taboo. Personally, beyond porn, I believe that there is a lot of room for innovation in connecting people and websites. The fact the internet is so centralised now has brought about quite a few problems like NSA snooping and sniffing or susceptibility to DDoS attacks."
Of course, even the most inept of web surfers can probably figure out how to protect their privacy (up to a point) while browsing. Just click the privacy button, stupid, and clear the history and cookies before fondling your slab in public.
As for "Cameron's porn filter", tech-savvy onanists have pointed out that it is implemented through "opt-out" controls arranged by the UK's internet service providers, and thus is a problem which does not need an additional solution...
On a thread discussing Jerky, one Reddit user wrote: "There is no 'UK porn filter'. There are instead parental controls implemented by the ISP, which, and this bit is the only thing that is new or has been changed, are now enabled by default for new accounts on several major ISPs. You don't need some dodgy new browser to bypass the parental controls, you just need to disable them in your account settings."
An iOS version of Jerky is currently in development and will be rolled out later this year, depending on whether or not it bypasses Cupertino's own porn filter. ®

The pressure on the Internazionale coach, Claudio Ranieri, has increased following their 1-0 defeat at home to rock-bottom Novara on Sunday.
Inter have now lost three of their last four games, a run which has all but ended their Serie A title hopes and also placed a serious question mark against their chances of qualifying for the Champions League.
Andrea Caracciolo scored the only goal of the game in the 56th minute as Novara completed the double over Inter this season.
They even held on to the win after Ivan Radovanovic was sent off with 10 minutes to go.
The Internazionale owner, Massimo Moratti, was forced to issue a statement on Thursday denying the club were considering dismissing Ranieri and replacing him with the former England manager Fabio Capello.
But this setback leaves Ranieri's side fifth in the table, five points behind fourth-placed Udinese and 11 adrift of the leaders Milan.
Elsewhere, Pablo Barrientos scored twice as Catania claimed their first win of 2012 in style with a 4-0 thrashing of Genoa.
The visitors went into the game on the back of two straight wins but found themselves a goal down after seven minutes through Francesco Lodi's penalty.
Barrientos then netted a quickfire double in the 49th and 52nd minutes, before Gonzalo Bergessio rounded off the scoring 10 minutes later.
Atalanta hit the post twice but their problems in front of goal continued as they were held to a goalless draw by Lecce.
The Bergamaschi were the better side at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia but could not find a way past the Lecce goalkeeper, Júlio Sérgio, although both Guido Marilungo and Federico Peluso struck the woodwork.
The result left Atalanta in 15th place, six points clear of third-bottom Lecce.
The matches between Bologna and second-placed Juventus and Parma and Fiorentina were postponed due to the bad weather.

The American people were once again provided a dog-and-pony show as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was brought before televised hearings before the House and Senate committees in regards to the Benghazi killings.
These hearings did nothing to answer questions about what actually took place in Benghazi where four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, were killed by terrorists. What these hearings did was allow Clinton the opportunity to continue on the road to the White House in 2016. If she had not shown up to make a token appearance there is no way that she would be a Democratic presidential candidate in 2016.
All the questions that should have been asked were never asked. Democrats couldn't contain their kudos for Clinton, which took up most of each of their five minutes of a photo op. The Republicans on the other hand spent the majority of their time stating everything about the incident which all was just rerun. Serious unanswered questions were few and far between.
Once again, the people are left without an admittance of blame for a fiasco and nobody's reputation or job has been jeopardized. So, in the world of politics this is considered water under the bridge and time to move on to more pressing things, like raising the debt limit.

New York Mets: Top 10 Games of the 2011 SeasonSeptember 28, 2011
New York Mets: Top 10 Games of the 2011 Season
In terms of wins and losses, this was not a good season for the New York Mets. The team finished at 77-85 and in fourth place in the NL East. Despite this, I feel like this was a step in the right direction for the organization. Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins have changed the culture and the attitude surrounding the team.
With Jose Reyes' impending free agency, this offseason will surely be a busy one for Sandy Alderson. But there will be plenty of time to talk about that. For now, we can look back on the few bright spots from this year.
Here are the top 10 games of the 2011 season.
10. May 13: Mets 6, Astros 4
This may seem like ages ago, but this was the first really exciting win for the Mets.
The Astros led the game 4-0 heading into the seventh. It was 4-1 heading in to the eighth inning when Fernando Martinez (remember him?) blasted a long two-run home run to right field. Just a couple batters later, David Wright connected on a go-ahead two-run shot to left field. The Mets added an insurance run in the top of the ninth, before closing out the game in the bottom half.
9. June 28: Mets 14, Tigers 3
Before this game, the Mets had gone 299 consecutive games without hitting a grand slam. That streak ended in the fourth inning of this game when Jason Bay capped off a seven-run inning with a grand slam to left field. How long would the Mets have to wait for their next one?
One inning.
Carlos Beltran hit a grand slam of his own in the fifth. The Mets went on to win the game 14-3. That was the most runs the Mets won a game by this season.
8. September 9: Cubs 4, Mets 5
The Mets came away with a walk-off victory against the Cubs after a disappointing top of the ninth. Manny Acosta surrendered an RBI single to the pesky Darwin Barney with two outs to tie the game.
In the bottom half of the inning, Justin Turner came up with two on and two out, and cracked a ground-rule double to center field. Then he had a little bit of fun with Kevin Burkhardt in the postgame interview.
Turner quietly had a pretty good all-around season. He's a very patient hitter who doesn't chase many bad pitches. He finished with 30 doubles in 116 games.
7. July 20: Cardinals 5, Mets 6 (in 10)
The Cardinals jumped out to a 4-0 lead against R.A. Dickey, but the Mets battled back like they did many times this year. The game was tied at four heading into the eighth, when both teams swapped runs.
With the game tied at five, Angel Pagan blasted his first career walk-off home run. That was the only walk-off home run of the year for the Mets.
6. May 1: Phillies 1, Mets 2 (in 14)
This was a marathon Sunday Night game. Coincidentally, this was the night Osama bin Laden was captured. The crowd broke out in U-S-A chants with Daniel Murphy at the plate. The players had no idea what was going on.
It was a great pitcher's duel between Chris Young and Cliff Lee. The bullpens did a great job as well, until Kyle Kendrick gave up an RBI double to Ronny Paulino. In his Mets debut, Ronny Paulino went 5-for-7 along with the game-winning RBI.
5. August 26: Braves 0, Mets 6
This game wasn't a dramatic late-inning win, but it was undoubtedly the best pitching performance by a Mets player this season.
Chris Capuano threw a complete game two-hit shut out, while striking out 13 Braves. Many consider this to be the best pitching performance by anybody in the league. Ervin Santana gave up a run in his no-no. Justin Verlander walked one and only struck out four in his, and Francisco Liriano surrendered six walks in his no hitter against the White Sox.
Whether or not it was the best outing in all of baseball is debatable, but Capuano was absolutely dominate that night.
4. August 8: Padres 8, Mets 9
This was an absolutely crazy back and forth game at Citi Field. The Mets led 4-1 after three innings. The Padres put up a three spot in the sixth, and then seemingly put the game out of reach with a four-run eighth. Then things got a little interesting in the bottom half.
A few weeks earlier, the Mets had claimed Queens native Mike Baxter on waivers from the Padres. Well, Baxter made his Mets debut in this game when he pinch-hit in the eighth inning. He ripped an RBI double to left field.
It was 8-6 when former Mets player Heath Bell came in for the save. David Wright drove in a run, and a few batters later Lucas Duda came through with a two-run single up the middle. Duda really came a long way this season, and he had multiple clutch hits for the Mets.
The fact that this one came against Heath Bell made it a little more satisfying.
3. September 22: Mets 8, Cardinals 6
The Mets assumed the role of spoiler in September this season. They played both wild-card contenders and did not roll over for either the Braves or the Cardinals.
The Cardinals led 6-2 heading into the ninth inning, all set to gain a game on the Braves. The Mets, however, had other ideas.
Justin Turner walked in a run and Jose Reyes drove in another with a single. Then, after working quite an at-bat, Ruben Tejada clubbed a double to left field, driving in two runs to tie the game. Tejada is another young Mets player who has developed so much this season. A couple batters later, Willie Harris delivered the decisive blow. He hit a two-run single to right field to put New York on top 8-6.
The Cardinals went quietly in the ninth to end a very impressive comeback victory for the Mets.
2. July 8: Mets 5, Giants 2
If you recall, this was a pretty important game for the Mets. This was the final series of the first half, and the Mets were still in the hunt for the Wild Card. They had yet to trade Carlos Beltran, so there was still some debate whether he should be dealt or not.
Like most Giants games, this was a pitcher's duel. It was tied at two when Brian Wilson came in for the ninth inning. Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston crushed a fastball over the left-field wall, putting the Mets on top. The Mets added two more insurance runs, and won the game 5-2.
A tie-breaking solo home run doesn't seem especially dramatic or exciting, but it really was. I mentioned the importance of the game at the time, and Hairston's homer seemed to lift the spirits of the team. It's too bad the Mets lost the next two games before the All-Star break.
1. July 3: Yankees 2, Mets 3 (in 10)
It seems like most people either love or hate interleague play. I think it's great, especially the rivalry games like this. As a fan, I definitely have a little added angst when watching Subway Series games.
The Mets and Yankees met at Citi Field over Fourth of July weekend this season, and the Saturday game was, in my opinion, the best one of the season.
Brett Gardner tripled leading off the eighth inning, and he came around to score the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly. It was 2-1 when Mariano Rivera came in for the ninth inning, and he quickly retired the first two Mets to face him. He then walked Jason Bay, and allowed a single to Lucas Duda. Up came Ronny Paulino. Down to his final strike, Ronny delivered an opposite-field RBI single to tie the game.
It was an up and down season for Jason Bay, but he delivered the walk-off RBI single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning.
The Yankees will be playing in October and the Mets will not. It isn't much of a consolation, but Mets fans can look back on this Subway Series game very fondly.

"The Reel Affirmations Pride Film Festival started six years ago," says One In Ten's Joe Bilancio. "It was done as a way for us to support the efforts of Pride as well as supplement [the full Reel Affirmations festival] in October, trying to get people excited for the fall early on in the summer."
This year's festival, which commences tonight at 7 p.m at the Lincoln Theatre with Margaret Cho's new stand-up concert film, Revolution, is "fairly light," says Bilancio. Still, he notes that one of the films, the documentary Saints and Sinners, which screens Friday at 7 p.m., is a serious and fairly topical look at the struggles of a gay couple who attempt to get married.
Also up: Eating Out, which screens tonight at 9 p.m., in which a straight man pretends to be gay in order to meet women (only to find the man of his dreams, naturally). Eating Out is this year's cute boy offering, while tomorrow's 9 p.m. showing of April Showers, which recently won a Best Feature award at the Philadelphia Film Festival, is one for the ladies, though Bilancio insists both films have the kind of winning charm that make them transcend gender.
"People will have a good time at this year's festival," he says. "It's really a good range. There's something for everyone."
Bilancio, who joined One In Ten as its full-time program director in February, is enjoying the challenge of making One In Ten's other offerings known to the community.
"I don't know that people know all of the other things we do," he says. "Laugh Out Loud, The Museum Project, Children in the Arts. We're hoping that people will see we're part of something much larger. And if they like this activity, hopefully they'll come out for our other activities."
The Reel Affirmations Pride Film Festival plays tonight and tomorrow, June 3 and 4, at the Lincoln Theatre, at 1210 U Street NW. Revolution plays tonight at 7 p.m., followed by Eating Out at 9 p.m. Saints and Sinners plays tomorrow at 7 p.m. followed by April Showers at 9 p.m. Individual tickets are $9.

Calico System

**BROKE UP** Calico System formed in the summer 1998 as a group of friends who wanted to play music that which adhered to no "rules." This being held true to the current day, the overly energetic quartet, hailing from the St. Louis area, take a variety of different elements from metal & hardcore and seamlessly fuse them with emo, groovecore, punk and various other genres, creating a sound that deftly defies the laws of musical implementation. Then, combining this with: rhythmically complex music, an amazing and entertaining live show, hard work, determination, and the maintaining of good attitudes towards everyone they come in contact with, one can see the basis for what Calico System is all about.Read More...
After solidifying their line-up 2 years ago, they have gone on to independently release two EP's. Their first selling over 2000 copies in less than a year, and in three weeks sold over 600 copies of their latest Love Will Kill All (released march 2003); Both with no formal distribution whatsoever. Also coinciding with Calico System's view that hard work and sweat are the only ways to accomplish your goals, they have successfully completed several independent tours. And to top things off, have gained supporting spots for such bands as: Hatebreed, Poison the Well, Open Hand, Hopesfall, Finger Eleven, Candiria, Sworn Enemy, Codeseven, Dredg, and many others.
Calico System's new album, "They Live", released in November 2005, is easily their best material to date. A video for the single "They Live" aired on MTV's Headbangers Ball

I can't, but maybe if you posted this on the Laos &/or the Cambodia Forum link - where there are more viewers - you may get the results you want.
Also, what does your travel agent (where you live or where you are now visiting) say about this question: after all, that's their business.
