A Documentary by Mark Lipman of San Francisco, CA
Film Synopsis:
Winner of multiple audience awards, States of Grace intimately captures the profound transformation of a revered physician and her family in the wake of a life-changing accident. For Dr. Grace Dammann, a pioneering AIDS specialist who was honored by the Dalai Lama, a routine commute across the Golden Gate Bridge turned tragic when another driver crashed head on into her car. After seven weeks in a coma and a dozen surgeries, Grace miraculously awakened with her cognitive abilities intact, though her body was left shattered. States of Grace follows her return home to the Buddhist community where she and her partner Nancy "Fu" Schroeder live with their teenage daughter Sabrina, who was born with cerebral palsy.
Family dynamics are turned upside down as each of them must negotiate new roles and responsibilities. As the only able-bodied person in their household, Fu becomes the primary caregiver to Grace while also taking on a more active role as parent. Grace, meanwhile, must reconcile her joy at still being alive with the frustration of being so dependent on others. With dry humor and brave candor, the three of them slowly recalibrate their lives together and apart.
Through verité footage and interviews with doctors, family, and friends, States of Grace paints an inspiring portrait of devotion and trust as it delicately documents one woman's fight to reinvent herself.

Oracle Updates Linux, Sticks with Intel and Promises SolarisOct 06, 2011, 00:57 (1 Talkback[s])
Oracle Linux is compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, though Oracle has its own kernel called the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, which debuted at OpenWorld in 2010. According to Screven, Oracle's kernel is 75 percent faster than Red Hat's. Oracle is now updating that kernel to version 2, delivering even more performance thanks to an improved scheduler for high thread count applications like Java. The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 2 release also provides transmit packet steering across CPUs, which Screven said delivers lower network latency. There is also a virtual switch that enables VLAN isolation as well as Quality of Service (QoS) and monitoring.

What The Hell Is Happening In This A Cure For Wellness Trailer?
Earlier this month, director Gore Verbinski told a room full of reporters, this writer included, that he wants A Cure for Wellness to do for health spas what Jaws did for the beach. Having seen the first 30 minutes or so of the gothic thriller starring Dane DeHaan, I can safely say that while I'm not terrified of getting a massage (yet), I have no idea what the fuck this creepy movie is about. There's an ominous buck, and a tub full of eels (!!), and Lucius Malfoy (a.k.a. Jason Isaacs) playing a potentially crazy health professional.
And then there's Mia Goth, who spends all of her time hanging out and looking sad atop the old-ass European structures.
Again, I've seen 30 minutes of this movie and all I can tell you is that DeHaan's character is a young corporate hotshot who's sent to Switzerland to retrieve a board member who apparently lost his damn mind at this so-called "wellness spa." Of course, the longer he stays at the spa—and there is something rather unfortunate that forces him to extend his stay—the more he suspects that the idyllic centre's treatments are anything but healthy. Cue the eels and the naked men in water chambers.
I am now 99 per cent sure this movie doesn't actually exist and that it is, in fact, all a fever dream. I guess I'll have to wait until February 17, 2017 to be certain.

text: While not the first cat you think of for inventive bars, Oscar-winning Memphis rap legend Juicy J can still surprise with his winning witticisms, and on "Errrday" he takes the gold with a nifty nod to Kobe Bryant (who, sadly, may not be Juicy J's neighbor much longer). That quotable—part of Juicy's somewhat unexpected but no less triumphant resurgence this year—lifts what might have been a run-of-the-mill joint to year's-most-memorable status. Let's face it, the song illustrates many of 2011's prevailing themes—in beat structure, lyrical content, and young x old collaboration. Inspired by the Triple Six legend, Wiz digs deep in his stash of rhymes, making us want to hear this one "Errrday."

According to an ancient myth, it was Demeter the goddess of the earth, who created the mint plant by punishing the disobedient nymph Minthe and turning her into what would later be one of the Western world's most popular herbs. Our cool and sweet peppermint comes from a small farm at the foothills of Mount Minthi, not far from the fields where the plant gained its name in antiquity. The fragrant leaves of the plant are left whole, allowing you to revive the aromas right when needed, by rubbing them with your fingers just before use.
Apart from drinking alone or with thyme as our eat or drink set suggests, dried peppermint leaves can be used to give body and fragrance to many sweet or savory recipes, from biscuits to tomato sauces. Spice up your freshly squeezed lemon-orange juice by sprinkling a couple of dried peppermint leaves on top of it just before serving.
Choose between this version or the premium caddy.

The international climate justice movement Ende Gelaende ("Here And No Further") calls for a mass action of civil disobedience in the Lusatian lignite fields of Eastern Germany on 30 November 2019. Hundreds of activists from all over Europe will put their bodies on the line, to block lignite mines, train tracks, and power plants. To stop the climate crisis, Ende Gelaende calls for an immediate coal phase-out and a transition away from fossil fuels and growth-dependent capitalism.
"Millions of people have taken to the streets together with Fridays for Future, protesting for climate justice. But the government still ignores the urgency of the climate crisis and is about to pass a climate law that will lead us into a world which is 3 to 5 degrees hotter. We won't let this happen. The climate justice movement is stronger than ever and we know what we have to do: we will take the protests one step further and shut down Germany's dirty coal industry with our own bodies. Our future depends on it", says Ende Gelaende spokeswoman Nike Mahlhaus.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg visited the Hambach Forest near Cologne, Germany, today. The forest has become an internationally recognised symbol for the impacts of coal mining and the movement for climate justice in Germany. It has been occupied by climate activists for seven years and saw demonstrations of over 50,000 people for its protection during an eviction last summer which lasted for weeks. On her way to the New York Climate Summit, Thunberg met youth climate strikers, activists, and local residents facing resettlement due to coal mining. The forest is currently experiencing existential stress due to ongoing drought, worsened by the climate crisis.
After three days Ende Gelände is ending a mass action against coal mining. More than 6,000 people blocked key places of the RWE's mining operations in the Rhineland coalfield. Since Friday activists occupied tracks which are the supply line of Germany's biggest power plant Neurath. Yesterday thousands of activists entered the Garzweiler mine and stopped coal excavators. At the same time as Ende Gelände actions were happening, about 8,000 people joined a demonstration by NGOs and local initiatives in solidarity with villages threatened by coal mining. On Friday, 40,000 students marched on a climate strike in Aachen. Ende Gelände demands an immediate coal-phase out and fundamental system change.
Activists have cut off Germany's largest coal power station from coal supply. Several hundreds of activists of the anti-coal alliance Ende Gelände have been blocking the coal rail tracks leading to power station Neurath, in Rhineland, for more than 15 hours. The activists have spent the night on the tracks.
Yesterday, 4,000 activists had started from a protest camp in Viersen to block coal mining operations in Rhineland, Europe's largest source of carbon dioxide emissions. Another 2,000 activists have departed from the camp this morning. Yesterday 40,000 students from Fridays for Future protested in Aachen, only 50 km distance from the open coal mine. For today Fridays for Future and environmental NGOs have announced large protests directly next to the mine.
Breaking – Several hundred climate activists are occupying the tracks of a coal trainline this moment, thus cutting off the supply line of Germanys largest coal power plants Neurath and Niederaussen. Several thousand activists are on their way to interrupt coal infrastructure at other places.
"We are putting our bodys on the line today to shut down Europe's second dirtiest coal power plant. The power company RWE continues to extract coal and destroys our future for short term profit. We are not only shutting down this coal plant, we are standing up against a destructive economic system", – explains Kathrin Henneberger, spokesperson for theEnde Gelaende coalition.
Today around 4,000 climate activists will start from the Ende Gelände protest camp in Viersen to block the coal fields in Rhineland. They will depart from the camp in two waves. More activists are expected to arrive at the camp throughout the day, and to start a third wave of blockades tomorrow. The alliance Ende Gelände demands the immediate coal exit and a fundamental system change.
"We still have hopes, the door is still open to a future within the 1.5°C limit. But we will miss this last chance if we don't act immediately. Today we set out with thousands of people towards a future without fossil fuels, without exploitation and without this destructive quest for infinite economic growth." states Sina Reisch, spokeswoman of Ende Gelände.
Viersen, 16 June 2019. The climate alliance Ende Gelände will set up camp in Viersen, near Mönchengladbach, starting today at 2pm. Local police authorities had rejected the organizer's request to have a camp at this location. However, yesterday afternoon the administrative court in Aachen ruled that the camp site was legal.
"We are looking forward to have a place where we can express our protest for an immediate coal phase out to confront the climate crisis. The court ruling confirms: Choosing a site for a rally is an essential part for the freedom to assembly", explains Kathrin Henneberger, press spokeswoman of Ende Gelände.
At the invitation of the German Communist Party (DKP), representatives of Communist Parties from the Baltic Sea region came together in Kiel last weekend and took part in activities in memory of the November Revolution. The activities included the conference "Baltic Sea - Sea of Peace" by DKP and SDAJ, at which a resolution was passed.
The conference, attended by Communist Parties from Poland, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany, received contribution from Communist Parties from the Russian Federation and Finland as well.
The World Federation of Trade Unions, which is the militant voice of more than 92 million workers in the five Continents, strongly condemns the far-rightists gatherings and manifestations that take place in Kemnitz, Saxony, against migrants and refugees who live in Germany.
We also denounce the violent attacks and intimidation against migrants, as well as the spreading of racism, xenophobia and hatred by political powers which participate in the gatherings.
The German Communist Party (DKP) Leadership has released a press statement on June 19th, on the government crisis between the ruling CDU and its Bavarian partner CSU on the refugee question.
Despite the ostensible conflict between the Ministry of Interior Seehofer (CSU) and Chancellor Merkel (CDU) on the issue of refugees, the DKP interprets the situation differently, as the two actors are "playing together", as they have the same intention. According to DKP, the Merkel-Germany is making use of the refugee debate to intervene with the national sovereignty of other EU states, and Seehofer threatens those states to shut down the doors for refugees that applied to other countries unless they comply with the EU directives.
The German Communist Party (DKP) leadership addressed a declaration regarding the case of Skripal and German-Russian relations.
The DKP declaration, signed by the Party leaders Patrik Köbele, Hans-Peter Brenner, Wera Richter, referred to the march for peace that took place last weekend, under the motto "Disarm, no further arming", which was also one of the resolutions of DKP addressed in the recent Party Congress.

How can we help you?
(919) 833-1040
The recent announcement of Al, 62, and Tipper, 61, Gore's pending divorce is making marriage experts and psychologists take notice of the rising numbers in late-in-life divorces.
The pair have been married for forty years but experts expect their separate careers and busy lives contributed to them filing for divorce. Furthermore, as late-in-life divorces have increased over the past few years, experts cite generational changes in the baby boomer generation. Baby boomers, they believe, have more independent values and are more self-centered than previous generations.
The Office of National Statistics has stated that divorce rates are falling in all categories, except in the over 60 category.
Last year, Bertie and Jessie Woods made history as the world's oldest divorced couple, divorcing when both were 98.

Meeexicooooo! Nearing 30,000km, and although I am feeling tired at times, I'm still going strong and not ready for the adventure to end. I can't believe I'm just a few days away from the U.S. border. I haven't quite realized the success of my trans-continental peregrination yet and don't think I will for a long time. I'm still surprised when I look at my map and see all those countries, towns, mountains and rivers. Then again, I still have the entire United States to cross, which is a massive section on its own. It's a similar feeling to when I hiked across France on the Way of St. James trailing, the GR65. I loved it, but every couple of days I'd think, "Maybe I'll be ready to stop soon. But not yet." Before I knew it, I had hiked 800km across nearly the entire country and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Here are a few photos of the Central American portion of the trip.

Chiefs add defensive lineman Jimmy Staten to practice squad
The Chiefs filled out their practice squad Wednesday as they signed defensive lineman Jimmy Staten.
Staten, 24, replaced the spot vacated by defensive end David Irving, who was lured by the Dallas Cowboys' offer of a 53-man roster spot Tuesday.
Staten, who is listed as 6-foot-3 and 311 pounds, was a fifth-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 2014. He was selected after a senior season at Middle Tennessee State in which he recorded 30 tackles and two hurries.
Staten was claimed off waivers by the New York Giants in August and was waived again roughly two weeks later. He signed with the New England Patriots' practice squad but was later waived.
Here is Staten's NFL.com draft profile.

D-backs lose Mathis to broken hand
NEW YORK — Jeff Mathis was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a broken right hand, leaving the Arizona Diamondbacks without their top catcher as they make a playoff push.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said it's too early to tell whether Mathis will miss the rest of the season. The 13-year major league veteran, valued for his fine defense and leadership, was injured Monday night against the New York Mets when his bare hand was hit by a foul ball.
"We're going to miss him," Lovullo said.
Arizona began the night a half-game behind Colorado for the first NL wild card and 3 ahead of Milwaukee for the league's final postseason berth.
In other moves, the Diamondbacks reinstated outfielder Reymond Fuentes from the 10-day DL and recalled right-hander Jake Barrett from Triple-A Reno to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen. Right-hander Jimmie Sherfy was optioned to Reno after pitching a perfect ninth inning Monday for his first major league win.
Fuentes had been sidelined since July 18 with a bruised left thumb.
Mathis has started 55 games this season while sharing catching duties with Chris Iannetta and Chris Herrmann. Mathis is batting just .213 with two homers and 11 RBIs but has thrown out 10 of 28 attempted basestealers (35.7 percent), one of the top rates in the majors and by far the best on the team.
Iannetta was set to make his 49th start Tuesday night against the Mets. He was hitting .223 with 11 home runs, 29 RBIs and a .316 on-base percentage.
Herrmann was batting .158 with eight homers and 23 RBIs in 30 games, 22 starts.
"We have two guys we feel really good about," Lovullo said. "It's time for them to step up. There's going to be some adjustments and we're going to continue to share information the way we have and do the things that we have done. These guys are ready for the challenge."
Lovullo said his plan right now is to play Iannetta three games out of every five, with Herrmann getting the other two.
The 34-year-old Mathis got dinged in the fourth inning Monday night but remained in the game until the sixth.
"Just speaks volumes about his toughness and the example he sets," Lovullo said. "So we're going to continue to play hard for him and do what we're supposed to do to pick up the slack for him."
Mathis will see a hand specialist when the team returns home.
"Jeff's an extremely tough player. He's a tough man. So if there's one person that can come back on the low side of the timetable, it would be him. What that timetable is will be determined," Lovullo said. "At this point I've been told that surgery is not something that is a possibility. But obviously, we know things can change quickly."

גיטין לט, א
אין אדם מוציא דבריו לבטלה
A person does not say things without reason...(Gittin 39a)
In a discussion about the nature of a slave's ownership rights, the Talmud questions the degree to which a person's inarticulate declaration may be understood. Rabbi Meir (c.~2nd century CE) is cited as establishing an important hermeneutic principle, which has become known as the Principle of Charity. This principle has been widely discussed by contemporary philosophers, most notably by three Americans, Willard Quine (d. 2000), Ronald Dworkin (d. 2013) and Donald Davidson (d. 2003).
The Principle of Charity
The Principle of Charity asks the reader (or listener) to interpret the text they are reading (or words they are hearing) in a way that would make them optimally successful. Here's how Moshe Halbertal from the Hebrew University explained it:
[A]lthough a person's words might be read as self-contradictory and thus meaningless, they should not be interpreted in that way. If someone tells us he feels good and bad, we should not take his statement as meaningless but rather understand by this that sometimes he feels good and sometimes bad, or that his feelings are mixed. (Moshe Halbertal. People of the Book. Harvard University Press 1997, p27.)
Other philosophers of language, like the late American analytical philosopher Donald Davidson developed this Principle of Charity. "We make maximum sense of the words of others," wrote Davidson, "when we interpret in a way that optimizes agreement." But sometimes The Principle of Charity requires that the reader change the meaning of the text in order to maximize the likelihood of agreement with the author's words, as long as such a rational or coherent interpretation is available to the reader. It is the attempt to read the text in the "best" possible light.
We could include in this discussion Ludwig Wittgenstein (d. 1951). In his Philosophical Investigations he claimed that there is no single correct way that language works. Instead, there are "language games" - with the rules of the game changing as the needs of the speaker change. Or the American philosopher John Searle's important work Speech Acts, in which speech follows certain rules, and it is the context of the words that determine which rules are in force. Or the father of deconstruction, the French Sephardi philosopher Jacques Derrida (d. 2004) who believed that once they are cut off from their author, words can mean something other than what they meant in their original context. Or J.L Austin or Paul Ricoeur or, well, we could go on and on.
But from today's daf, we should remember that it was Rabbi Meir who first introduced us to the hermeneutic Principle of Charity. Now can you please fix that Wiki article so that Rabbi Meir gets his just recognition?
[Partial repost from Ketuvot 58.]

Leaning In Together: Empowering Women Through Advertising
When Sheryl Sandberg's book, Lean In, was released in 2013, many championed it as the modern-day feminist movement for women in the workplace. However, the book has been divisive in its reception, as some felt it was a sales pitch for privileged women and did not speak to the nation's 'average' female worker. Despite the differences in opinion, here are two main ideas that customer experience designers can take away from the "Lean In" movement:

I am interested in the primal relationships of fire-molten glass, metal, sand-earth, wood; constructing a parallel between process and the material object. Each piece takes on its own qualities of light, texture and form-defining space and a sense of age and time. Contrasting blown and cast glass forms with steel, paint, resin and found objects broadens the vocabulary. The use of glass in my work goes beyond the beauty of the material, to emphasize the rawness of it in its most basic states: hot, cool and cold. This elemental quality is inherent to the material and fundamental to how I use it.
Cast resin, found object, steel, wood. 34" tall and 20" tall
Hand Tools and Arms deals with the fine line between construction and destruction. The human power that assembles and wields these tools/weapons is an integral part of this work; which questions the ambiguous relationship between building and destroying, reconstruction and war.
Cast resin, copper, paint. 45" wide
Found objects, sculpted and blown glass, wood, steel, rubber
Glass, wood, steel. 29"–50" high
Glass, wood, steel. 55"–88" high
Glass, wood, steel. 27" wide
Blown and mirrored glass, found objects, wood.
Conference is a response to the anger I felt when the US bombed Iraq. A war sold to us using fear tactics, neatly packaged for our consumption with phrases like "Shock and Awe" and "Operation Iraqi Freedom"— sexy and shiny and so far removed from reality.
Blown and mirrored glass, found objects, wood.
Houses: Skeleton, Heart & Lungs, Bones
wood, pigment, flame worked inclusions in cast glass
Built on Their Bones recalls those who have gone before us—individuals and entire civilizations that have been forgotten as we build our lives upon their remains.
Thorn, Seed, Moon
blown glass, steel, cast bronze, electro-formed copper
The powerful traditions that integrate myth and magic were sources of inspiration for earlier work, vessel forms that refer to family, place, health, growth, memory and rites of passage. In the Ritual Vessels Series, glass organs representing the pulse and breath of life are completed with cast bronze lids, which are symbolic of their ritual purpose. The components of each vessel have levels of significance that when assembled tell specific stories of life experience.

Written by Cynthia Dial for JustLuxe.com
It's been said that of the more than one million passengers who use Lexington's Blue Grass Airport each year, about 600 of those are horses. Though certainly an unusual stat, this mathematical indicator is illustrative of the region's love affair with the magnificent mammals. Upon arrival an oversized, gilded-gold and ornately-framed portrait of Big Lex (a Thoroughbred racehorse of the 1800s named Lexington, now the municipal mascot) serves as the unofficial greeter to this city situated "where the South begins."
Airport greeting, "Big Lex"
Traveling its roads deep into horse country, past acres of green grass and alongside rows of wooden post and rail fencing, a visit to a horse farm here is the equivalent of a tour of Buckingham Palace in London – it's quintessential Lexington. Of the more than 400 farms, the choices are many. Our choice: Ashford Stud – now home to American Pharoah (the first horse to win the Triple Crown and Breeder's Cup) – is a spare-no-expense equine estate.
American Pharoah
Described as a "serious, serious industry," it's necessary to prearrange a visit to a private horse farm. But though a bit of planning is prerequisite, these behind-the-scene tours are legendary – taking guests into the pampered world of these four-legged studs to see the horses in their lavish digs and learn the ABCs of breeding (fun fact: American Pharoah, whose stud fee is $200,000, is sometimes paired with three mares each day).
Situated at the epicenter of horse country, Lexington is typically defined by a Thoroughbred theme – from its pristine horse farms to its renowned Keeneland Race Course (a National Historic Landmark). "My Old Kentucky Home" is the state song, sweet tea and Benedictine tea sandwiches (cucumber, onion and cream cheese) are considered standard afternoon fare and counted among its one-time sons and daughters are J. Peterman (of Seinfeld parody fame), George Clooney and Ashley Judd. Yet, as soothing and southern as these specifics seem, Lexington is much more.
A prime perch from which to explore Lexington is the city's less-than-a-year-old 21c Museum Hotel. Situated in downtown's iconic 1913 First National Bank Building (the city's original skyscraper), showcasing a distinctive and ever-changing art gallery and named for the 21st century, this cutting-edge boutique property coddles those who cherish tradition and invigorates those who appreciate innovation. However, it's likely the art best remembered will be its whimsical mascot – the 4-foot-tall blue penguins (think University of Kentucky blue) scattered about the hotel.
Art at 21c Museum Hotel
A stroll through Lexington's historic homes is a walk back in time. Perhaps most famous is Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate – a manor set on a 17-acre wooded plot that played host to such back-in-the-day guests as James Madison and Daniel Webster. The Headley-Whitney Museum – the former home of jewelry designer George Headley and heiress Barbara (Vanderbilt) Whitney – features a shell grotto, a selection of the jeweler's noted bibelots (small decorative objects without purpose) and elaborate dollhouses. Called "the nation's first shrine to a first lady," the Mary Todd Lincoln House, which is walkable from most downtown locations, is the childhood home of the wife of President Abraham Lincoln.
Lexington's food scene – from its rich bourbon heritage to its southern-rooted restaurant scene – is a compilation of everything local, everything organic. Here's a delicious peek into its eateries and their specialties.
Found at 310 West Short Street, Table Three Ten features such addictive dishes on its blackboard-style menu as pecan cinnamon rolls and chicken with waffles topped with peach hot sauce and bacon powder.
Cole's 735 Main, known for its apple cider braised pork belly, bourbon-glazed Scottish salmon and more than 130 bourbons, whiskeys and moonshines, claims it is "where dining is elevated to art."
The signature dish of Portofino – an Italian eatery found in a renovated downtown edifice – is ravioli della casa. Thinking it presumptuous to name his restaurant "Portofino" without his chef visiting the Italian town, owner Wayne Masterman sent his chief cook to the Amalfi Coast.
Lexington's typical Southern fare
Lexington offers a vibrant cultural scene, including an opera house, professional orchestra, two ballet companies and live theater options – ranging from the historic Lyric Theater (past performers have included B.B. King and Ray Charles) to productions performed in such atypical venues as a murder mystery staged in a funeral home and the play "Love, Lost and What I Wore" presented in a consignment store.
To take an art walk, begin at 21c Museum Hotel (staff members can conduct an art tour; brochures are provided for a self-guided tour). Exhibitions typically reflect current events and timely news, change every six to eight months and surpass the imagination. Of its six permanent exhibits, don't miss "Tomorrow's Weather," a colorful, ever-changing piece of art suspended from the dining room's ceiling and designed to predict the next day's climate.
"Tomorrow's Weather" art installation at 21c Museum Hotel
When popping into the Downtown Central Library Gallery for its invitational exhibition, be prepared to be mesmerized by the foyer's Foucault pendulum and world's largest ceiling clock suspended over artist Terri Pulley's mosaic floor design, which is comprised of 45,000 to 50,000 tile pieces (note the quarter imbedded into the floor mosaic; it represents Lexington).
While additional stops might be Ann Tower Gallery, Arts Place and New Editions Gallery, for an in-person one on one with an artist, go to the Artists' Attic – a collection of 21 studios of such professionals as equine artist Cissy Hamilton and Eric Johnson, creator of Norman Rockwell-like artwork.

All Photos by Cynthia Dial
If your visit coincides with the third Friday of the months of January, March, May, July, September or November, participate in the LexArts Hop and sample a selection of approximately 50 city galleries between the hours of 5 and 8 p.m., alongside 600 to 700 fellow art lovers.
With shopping as varied as its eating, opportunities include Artique, a store featuring more than 1,000 American craft artists; Glover's Bookery, an antiquarian bookstore specializing in Kentuckiana, books on horses and military tomes and Savane Silver, known for its contemporary jewelry featuring such semi-precious stones as the Kentucky agate (found in the state's east-central creek beds). Then there's L.V. Harkness. Owned by Southern belle, Meg Jewett, known for her unassuming style and exquisite taste, this in-a-class-by-itself boutique offers such hard-to-find specialties as the Laura Bush Pickard china magnolia pattern she selected for the White House, traditional julep cups and equestrian-inspired everything.
However, Lexington's calendar of events best illustrates the town's legendary lures: High Hope Steeple Chase, a race at Kentucky Horse Park over brush and timber (May); Festival of the Bluegrass (June); Keeneland Yearling Sales, an annual auction attracting around-the-world horse buyers (September); Perryville Battlefield Reenactment (October) and Holidays at Ashland, Henry Clay's home decked out in the grandest of styles with a different historical theme debuted each Christmas (December).

Toronto windmill stops spinningPosted by Car at 8:34 PM
Update May 1, 2011: Windmill is back in operation, lights burn brighter.
The large 91m Windshare windmill in the Exhibition grounds, installed in December2002, has stopped spinning as the bearings have given up the ghost and currently wait for replacement. These blades have nothing to do with the Toronto green power generator, but you can see the windmill working in my shot here.

The National College Access Network (NCAN) will soon assume leadership of College Goal Sunday, taking over for USA Funds after its three-year stint at the helm.
NCAN, an organization of 400 members, works to "build, strengthen, and empower communities committed to college access and success so that all students, especially those underrepresented in postsecondary education, can achieve their educational dreams." The organization has big plans for College Goal Sunday, aiming to give it a strategic plan and, ultimately, to undertake a new national FAFSA completion campaign in 2017.
To devise the plan and campaign, NCAN will gather a national steering committee of members, including NASFAA and other representatives from national nonprofit organizations; higher education, state and federal agencies; the business and philanthropic sectors; and representatives of existing state College Goal Sunday programs," the organization announced in a press release. NASFAA also plans to help make NCAN's College Goal Sunday efforts a success through information dissemination, including through Today's News.
"We look forward to building on the nearly three decades of College Goal Sunday success as a volunteer mobilization strategy to reach more of the millions of individuals who fail to file a FAFSA each year and therefore forgo college entirely or eventually drop out because of financial hardship," said Kim Cook, NCAN executive director, in the press release.
Whether through program administration or in advisory capacity, NASFAA has long supported the mission of College Goal Sunday. In 2015 alone, the efforts are expected to help approximately 30,000 students and parents to file the FAFSA, according to the press release.

Mountain/Barren Ground Caribou
The Tombstone has taken exceptional Mountain Caribou every year. We have a good population of the local Hart River herd in our area. Mountain Caribou are an excellent add-on to our sheep and moose hunts, or can be a separate hunt throughout our season.
The Tombstone also has the pleasure of witnessing the famous Porcupine Caribou herd that migrates throughout the area various years. This is truly a remarkable experience to witness! This is a late season hunt that is typically hunted on foot, and because there is no guarantee of when they will migrate we book these hunts on call.

I wrote a book. You should read it.
Have you been sucked into a black hole of distractions online? Of course you have. It's a rhetorical question. Everyone has started choking on all the information that is now available at our fingertips. I wrote Reset to do three things:
explain to people why the internet is built to be so addicting
lay out the principles that can be used to counteract the addiction
walk through the process of using them in your daily life

Back in World War II, two scientists invented a special tube that produced microwave power called the magnetron.
When combined within Britain's radar system, these microwaves were able to locate Nazi airplanes and foiled an attempted bombing.
Several years later Percy LeBaron Spencer of the infamous Raytheon Company (part of the military industrial complex) found out that microwaves also actually cook food. What he discovered was that radar waves actually melted a candy bar in his pocket. As a result, the first microwave oven was called the Radar Range and was massively oversized.
These strange beginnings help give us some insight as to why more and more researchers are speaking out against microwaves.
How are microwaves dangerous?
Inside of your microwave there are approximately 2.45 billion hertz which is fine IF the seal on your microwave door is not leaking. The frequency amount proven to harm the human body is just a measly 10 hertz. So be cautious and never ever stand near a microwave that is on. You will never actually know that your body is being harmed until after the fact.
How does a microwave harm our bodies?
- Causes birth defects
- Cancer
- Cataracts
- Compromised immune system
- Lowered resistance to viral and bacterial infections
- More prone to illness in general
What does the microwave oven do to our food?
- According to a study by Swiss scientist Hans Hertel's microwaving degrades and depletes food of its nutrients
- The radiation from the microwave degrades and deforms the molecules in food, creating dangerous unwanted radioactive compounds
- In 1992, a study from the Search for Health, researched the effects of participants that consumed microwaved vegetables
The research demonstrated that they experienced:
- Dramatic rise in cholesterol levels
- Decrease in hemoglobin causing an anemic-like conditions
- Decrease in white blood cells
- Increase in leukocyte which indicates poisoning and cell damage
- Microwaved breast milk lost 96% of its antibodies
- Microwaved Infant formulas' structure is damaged changing the components in amino acids, which creates immunological abnormalities
Even if your microwave oven has been perfectly sealed, you are still at risk of being exposed to harmful levels of electromagnetic fields. These fields, or EMF, can penetrate right through the human body (which is exactly why they are used for x-ray machines) and can cause serious health problems.
The EPA recommends maximum exposure of about .5mG – 2.5mG of EMF. If you stand just 4 inches away from your food cooking in the microwave, you will be exposed to 100 – 500mG. Standing 3 feet away from the operating microwave will expose you to 1 – 25mG. Either way, it poses a health risk.
Microwaves may indeed be faster and also more convenient than a conventional oven, but the nutritional needs of you and your family will end up having to pay both financially and physically later on as a result.
Best course of action is to simply get rid of the microwave!

Rents are typically 10 per cent more expensive – although in some towns, they exceed mortgage payments by almost 40 per cent, according to the research by property website Zoopla.
It blamed a lack of affordable mortgages, which has forced potential buyers to remain in the rental market, helping to push up demand for rental properties. At the same time, house price falls and low interest rates have reduced the monthly cost of owning a home.
Nicholas Leeming, a director at Zoopla.co.uk, said: "Buying has always been somewhat cheaper than renting, but we're now seeing a real insider-outsider divide in the housing market.
"For those who are able to buy a home, costs are low, but for those who can't, costs are much higher – and the doorway to entry into the housing market is narrower than ever. The freezing up of credit has put home-ownership beyond the reach of many renters, and it's driving a larger and larger wedge between them and owner-occupiers."
The research found tenants pay 9.9 per cent more on average than an owner with a mortgage with a pay rate of 5 per cent.
Some areas are worse than others for tenants – in York, rents exceed mortgage payments by 39 per cent, leaving tenants who pay average monthly rents of £978 as much as £3,270 a year worse off.
A further 13 of the largest 50 towns and cities in Britain saw rents exceed mortgage payments by more than 20 per cent.
- We have been asked to make clear that the comparisons in the research were between renting and an interest-only mortgage at 5 per cent, which would require the repayment of capital at the end of the term.
