Expert advice FOR LAMA
- Notify your doctor if you are or planning to become pregnant.
- Amlodipine can cause swelling in the ankle or feet. Notify your doctor if it bothers you.
- The missing dose of the Amlodipine can cause your blood pressure to go up suddenly, which raises the risk of heart attack and stroke. You can take the medicine at the same time every day to avoid forgetting it.
- You may get a headache that lasts for a short time, after starting Amlodipine. This should become less noticeable after a few days.
- Amlodipine may cause dizziness in the first few days of starting the treatment.

I don't care who you vote for, but I do care if you don't vote
I recently celebrated 8 years as a Webster resident. That's officially the longest I've lived in any one place. Today is Election Day 2012, and voting is one of the things that makes me feel like I'm an important part of my community.
A friend from church donates her time every year as an Election Inspector. She spends the entire day at the Webster Public Library, taking a quick break to eat lunch in a back room. And the very first time I showed up to vote in 2004, she remembered my name.
She has never made a comment to me about which candidate I should vote for. I don't know what political party she belongs to. But I know she would be disappointed in me if I didn't show up to vote on Election Day. To her, as I believe it should be to all of us, it's the act of voting that counts.
Thank you, Mary Margaret, for your hard work that, every year, renews and strengthens my faith in the process that our country-men and -women are still fighting to protect. And I'll see you at the polls.

Bananas Foster
Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse
- The Essence of Emeril
Here?s an indulgent treat that?s long been a New Orleans favorite. This recipe easily can be cut in half, or doubled. And if you leave out[ the liqueur and rum, it?s a perfect dessert for the kids!]
- 4 ripe bananas, peeled
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup banana liqueur
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- 1 pint Vanilla Ice Cream, recipe follows, or good quality store bought vanilla ice cream
- Vanilla Ice Cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split in 1/2 lengthwise
- 6 large egg yolks
Cut the bananas in half across and then lengthwise.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add the bananas and turning, cook on both sides until the bananas start to soften and brown, about 3 minutes. Add the banana liqueur and stir to blend into the caramel sauce. Carefully add the rum and shake the pan back and forth to warm the rum and flame the pan. (Or, off the heat, carefully ignite the pan with a match and return to the heat.) Shake the pan back and forth, basting the bananas, until the flame dies.
Divide the ice cream among 4 dessert plates. Gently lift the bananas from the pan and place 4 pieces on each scoop of ice cream. Spoon the sauce over the ice cream and bananas, and serve immediately.
Combine the cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla seeds and bean in a medium heavy saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl until frothy and lemon colored, about 2 minutes. Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg yolks in a slow, steady stream. Gradually add the egg mixture to the hot cream, whisking constantly. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface of the mixture to keep a skin from forming. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.

It begins with a crass concept: A young man looking to make a quick buck becomes a frequent depositor at a nearby sperm bank. How frequent? Try 693 donations over a 23-month period resulting in 533 children, 142 of whom wish to know the identity of their fertile father.
Less than 30 minutes in, however, it becomes clear that Starbuck, the French-Canadian film by director Ken Scott, is more than just a compilation of 'who's your daddy?' jokes. On the capable shoulders of leading man Patrick Huard, Starbuck is a witty and whimsical comedy full of surprises and warmth.
Starbuck premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to positive reviews and went on to place second in the festival's People's Choice Award. In March, it was released in Los Angeles and New York, and it has now moved on to Palm Beach County. The film opens today for a limited engagement in Boca Raton at the Living Room Cinema and Regal Shadowood 16, in Delray Beach at Regal Delray Beach 18 and Movies of Delray 5, and in Lake Worth at Movies of Lake Worth.

Patrick Huard portrays David Wozniak, a down-on-his-luck everyman who makes a living driving a delivery truck for his family's butcher business. He has the usual laundry list of slacker problems: He owes $80,000 to loan sharks that sporadically break into his apartment, he's slightly overweight and he just found out his girlfriend is pregnant. When he learns his frequent trips to the sperm bank twenty years ago (all performed under the alias Starbuck) led to 533 children, 142 of whom are suing the bank to reveal his identity, David's life gets a bit more complicated. He enlists his good friend and semi-legitimate lawyer (played with comedic force by Antoine Bertrand) to defend his anonymity.
|Patrick Huard as David Wozniak. Property of 2013 Entertainment One Films US.
Before a trial begins, however, David is presented with an envelope containing the identities of each child. Unable to help himself, David picks a paper at random, and the child turns out to be a famous soccer player. After catching one of his professional games, David is overcome with parental pride. "It's like an extension of me scored the game-winning goal," he says. He becomes addicted to seeking out his children, not to reveal his identity but to act as a guardian angel of sorts to each and every one.
At its core, Starbuck is a story about accepting people at their worst and loving them at their best. David's girlfriend Valérie (Julie LeBreton) struggles with letting David into the life of their unborn child, even before he reveals to her that he's fathered 533 others. But there's more to David than his slacker attitude. Much like an onion, his sour qualities are only on the surface. Begin to peel back the layers and you find a deeply senstive and selfless man. David's widowed father sums it up best: "If you can live with his shortcomings, you're in for plenty of beautiful surprises as well."
This statement could act as the thesis of Martin Petit and Ken Scott's script. With family, no matter the size, the goal is always to embrace them wholeheartedly. This concept can verge on the cheesy from time to time (there is literally a 146-person group hug at one point) but those moments are undercut by dry, painfully funny humor ("This is a bit weird, huh?" David's brother murmurs during the aforementioned hug). Few comedies succeed in striking such a balance, and that characteristic alone makes Starbuck a must-see.
After Starbuck's success in Canada, American studios came knocking. Dreamworks bought the rights to the script and is producing an English version entitled Delivery Man and starring Vince Vaughn, Cobie Smulders (Robin on How I Met Your Mother) and Chris Pratt (Andy on Parks and Recreation) with Ken Scott returning to direct. Palm Beach County residents are now presented with a unique opportunity: You can catch the original Starbuck during its limited release–which starts today–and then see Delivery Man upon its national release in October 2013. Then, let us know what you think! Write to us and explain which you preferred and why. Films are given legs when you are able to discuss them with friends.

"To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil." –Ecclesiastes 5:1
Obedience to God is a fundamental requirement of the Christian life. With our constant recitations of "thy will be done," it may seem a rather obvious point, but while many of us are comfortable with the basic aims and directives of the Gospel – feed the poor, serve the needy, steward your talents, love your enemies – when it comes to the actual implementation, we tend to defer to our own designs and desires.
Yet no matter how much spiritual frosting we may apply, that basic question still longs to be asked: "Lord, what would you have me do, and how would you have me do it?"
In a free society, wherein individual choice and action are largely uncontrolled and often empowered, we have increased opportunities to align our lives and actions to God, and thus to others. But this same elusive freedom can also mean heightened temptations to become wise in our own eyes. For the Christian, such freedom is only as authentic as it is subservient to the true and the good — a perplexing and paradoxical notion, to be sure. (more…)

Superconductivity, ultrasound, microbubbles, and mechanical dynamics
At Keio University, the Sugiura Laboratory, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (Faculty of Science and Technology) is investigating various phenomena through analysis and experiment. These phenomena involve coupling between electromagnetics and mechanical dynamics, as well as nonlinear dynamics. Currently, the researchers are focusing on three topics. The first is nonlinear oscillations in superconductive magnetic suspension systems. In such systems, objects are levitated, so energy loss due to friction is very low.

Intel Corp. has launched its first solid-state drive (SSD) that offers high-performance and improved reliability at an affordable price point. The new SSD does not provide truly high capacity, but are designed to speed up loading of modern operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows 7.
Intel X25-V SSD has capacity of 40GB and features sustained sequential read speed of up to 170MB/s and sustained sequential write speed of up to 35MB/s. Intel declares 65ms read latency, 110ms write latency, random 4KB reads of up to 25000 IOPS and random 4KB writes of up to 2500 IOPS. Performance of the X25-V is comparable to OCZ Technology Group's Onyx SSD released last week, which will cost even less than $100.
Intel X25-V is based on multi-level cell NAND flash memory made using 34nm fabrication process as well as Intel's controller feature 5-channel parallel architecture. The SSD supports Trim command for performance optimizations. The manufacturer declares 1.2 million hours mean time before failure (MTBF) for the drive.
"Adding the Intel X25-V to our existing family of high-performance SSDs gives our resellers a full range of high-performing, quality SSDs for notebook upgrades, dual-drive desktop set ups or embedded applications. SSD adoption continues to be one of the more exciting trends in personal computing, and this entry-level product enables users to enjoy the productivity and performance benefits of Intel SSDs at a new price point," said Pete Hazen, director of marketing for the Intel NAND solutions group.
The release of Intel's value-series solid-state drives marks the company's entrance onto the market of mainstream storage. At $125, the new SSD has a chance to become much more popular than the company's X25-M solid-state storage solutions that offer higher capacities, but come at a much higher price-point, which limits their addressable market to workstations used by professionals demanding ultimate performance.
Intel recommends adding an SSD option to current desktop PC in a dual-drive or "boot drive" set up. In a dual-drive configuration, the Intel X25-V SSD is added to a desktop with an existing hard disk drive. The SSD is loaded with the operating system and favorite applications to take advantage of the speedy performance which is nearly four times faster than a 7200RPM HDD, according to Intel.
The X25-V is priced at $125 for 1000-unit quantities and is currently stocked and available in worldwide distribution.

Evaluating teachers by videoPosted Monday, April 28, 2008, at 10:15 PM
This Australian newspaper points out, www.smh.com.au/news/national/video-camer..., how some school districts, both there and in the United States, are installing video equipment in classrooms specifically so administrators can evaluate teachers more thoroughly.
I can see both pros and cons. From one side, since teachers are in a highly public position anyway -- lecturing 20-30 students at a time and, at higher grade levels, many students over a day's time -- why not video them?
But those videos may not capture the one-on-one teaching that's often so effective.
One problem teachers face is parents with personal vendettas against teachers over issues from discipline to grades, especially when the teacher's actually in the right.
Ever seen anything like that? I'd be amazed if you haven't.
Often the vendetta-spreaders are so out for revenge that they won't stop until they've practically destroyed someone. Could videos be effective in preventing situations like that?
And I realize security cameras are already in use in hallways, etc., but it seems like classroom and school bus discipline problems could be handled better with visual evidence, much like some police traffic stops are recorded.
Of course, some parents would insist their child be allowed to get by with anything.
Showing comments in chronological order
[Show most recent comments first]
I'd like it if the teachers,students,etc. didn't wind up playing to the camera.
Even more than scheduled visits by the parents or superintendant,video monitoring could instill an artificial quality,prompt a few people to be "hams" and distract from real learning.
There's a spontaneity to authentic learning experiences that could be lost and more than a few children would hide behind an audience-friendly facade rather than reveal confusion or pain.
If they do film classes for such purposes,it should be intermittent and secret so no one knows when they are being watched.
(Film of their actions could surface at any time.)
An alternative use for such film would be to have a record of a class taught by a good teacher that could be checked out by an absent student or used to audit a class when that particular class is unavailable (due to schedule conflicts,cancellation,it already being full or other reasons).
I think we might be as surprised by the lack of scandalous results as we would be by the few shocking departures from intelligent behavior.
-- Posted by quantumcat on Tue, Apr 29, 2008, at 12:44 AM
I sometimes have a video camera on a tripod in my room. Sometimes I film myself so I can see what I look like teaching (not for vanity, but for effectiveness and clarity of instruction). I usually leave it mounted for convenience, but you can't look at the camera and tell when its recording. It's amazing how much behavior improves with some students who think they are being recorded.:-)
I personally wouldn't mind a camera being on while I'm teaching. I'd prefer not to be watched during my planning.
-- Posted by Jacks4me on Tue, Apr 29, 2008, at 7:23 AM
If I were a teacher, I would probably be uncomfortable at first. I would also want the videos to be closely protected for the students sake, but in the end, I think they would be good.
We had a poor experience with a private school and wish we had video and audio of the teacher's conduct. Chances are, the issue would have never arisen if they had known they might be taped. It would also have helped convince the administration that things were not as they should have been.
As mentioned above, it could also be useful in instructing parents on what their little darlings do in class.
-- Posted by stevemills on Tue, Apr 29, 2008, at 7:33 AM
I think cameras are great idea in the classroom because it would be the best evidence in case an issue occurred with a student or teacher. You would have the proof needed for proper discipline.
While I do believe some teachers in the wrong, it is shocking to see how many parents of today think their little Johnny or Susie can never do wrong and how they want to place the blame for a situation on anyone but their child which is more and likely caused by bad parenting.

May be good, and may be a waste of money that we do not need to be waisting. If their is a paticular teacher questionable then yes. But their are more people "Entire School Staff" including Principals and people working in the front offices that are dealing with these children "Daily", and therfore they "ALL" should be (Video - Taped). They all are getting paid by the Government, working with the public and need to be Evaluated TOO.
-- Posted by Momof3&3step&1gran on Tue, Apr 29, 2008, at 9:55 AM
I would like to see cameras at other places where county employees work, and the com center is one of them. This way people could see what is going on behind locked doors.

I think it would be great also for alot of different good reasons...But it would cost so much to do this...Right now we are having problems keeping the budget in the good with the price of gas for all the buses...It is something for the school board to think about..But i really do not believe our schools could afford to have this done..It would be great to have it as a law like we have fire alarms in the schools....Maybe if all schools every were had this maybe..just maybe a child would think twice about bringing a gun to school or even drugs...Yes it would be GREAT to have it in the schools..
-- Posted by rebelrose on Thu, May 1, 2008, at 12:53 AM
They do have them in the schools they are in the hall ways. This story is talking about putting them in the class rooms so that "Administrators can evaluate the Teachers".
-- Posted by Momof3&3step&1gran on Thu, May 1, 2008, at 9:22 AM
I think it would be good to have this in the classrooms..But I do hate to see it come to this..I never thought that it would ever have to come to this..We could spend that money on so many other things in our school..But if it would help to keep our students and our teachers safe then I am for it..This way if a students does something it would be all on tape for proof..I believe that it would stop alot of the things that do go on in classrooms...A teacher could have proof if he or she ever has a sexually charge thrown at them from a student...I believe it would help in alot of way's..

This is the best cigar lighter I've ever had. It's solidly constructed, and has always worked on the first strike. The triple flame can be adjusted as low as you need it, and the butane lasts a good long while. I usually use mine to toast my cigar before I light it, and it works flawlessly. It's a little bit of money up front, but you'll never need another lighter so far as I can tell. 3 years, and still going strong.
Best lighter I ever owned.... I've had the Xikar Trezo for 2 1/2 years now and it has worked flawlessly. The big thumbwheel flame strength adjuster is a nice plus and so is the confidence of the LIFETIME warranty... Buy this beautiful lighter and never buy another again. It's worth it!
I had this Xikar Trezo Lighter for a year and I have to say this is the best lighter I ever had. This was well spent money.

Topic: basic javascript toggle without making an ajax server call
I've been struggling with that for several days and I could not find a simple tutorial that explains what I want to do.
I need to do javascript toggle:
if a check box is checked then show a div, if it is unchecked then hide the div.
I don't want an ajax call for that, because there is no need for a server action, this can slow down the page display to the user, and I'm just questionning whether there is a simple javascript solution to perform such a simple action.
Ideally I'd like to use an :onselect option directly in the checkbox tag, something that would look like:
<%= check_box_tag(ingredient.id, "1", false, :onselect => 'function() { ... }' ) %>
<div id="quantity" style="display:none"> ... </div>
Could you please help with the syntax of this, and/or point me to a tutorial.

Norma,I think maybe you have reached the point, or are close to it, where you have to make a business decision. For example, I think you have demonstrated that you can make a 1-3 hour, high-yeast, emergency Buddy's clone dough at market. A good part of that effort was to try to reverse engineer and clone the Buddy's dough and pizzas and, in that respect, you have done an exemplary job. However, if such a dough is not practical at market, you might now want to shift your attention to a dough formulation and related dough preparation and management that is better suited to market. That might be a cold fermented version of the Buddy's dough such as you have tested on several occasions.At the moment, I am only aware of one pizza operator that makes a cold fermented Detroit style dough. That is Via 313. I don't know their dough formulation, and particularly the hydration the Hunt brothers use to make the dough, and also the amount of yeast, but if you look at the photos of their pizzas, such as the ones shown at their website (http://via313.com/) and in Yelp reviews (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/via-313-pizza-austin?select=quBst2A8N8Sx8gMCl7E7Jg#571KK5bmUn7n9fZZAva86g), they do not strike me as having a great deal of height in the finished crust. In the absence of insider information, I have no explanation for why the Via313 pizzas do not have especially thick crusts, at least in my opinion after having looked at a lot of photos of their pizzas.If you decide to concentrate now on a cold fermented version of the Buddy's dough, you will want to determine all of the relevant parameters. These include the duration of the cold fermentation period, when you want to use the dough to make pizzas, and what resources you will have available to make and manage the dough. Once these parameters have been defined, they will be used to determine what hydration to use, how much yeast to use, and what finished dough temperature to target. In this latter regard, it is possible that the finished dough temperature you used for your last batch of dough balls was too low, and may have caused you to rely more on your Hatco unit to compensate.Peter
Looks great to me Norma! Even though these may not have been as tall as you've been making, that crumb shot in pic 8 looks killer. Almost identical to the Via313 pics Peter linked to...delicious looking pizza you are making and I was glad to see you try one with pepperoni on top. You were right, it's not a "cupping" type pepperoni.The Buddy's box was a cool touch and your friend Dave's card is real cool too. Merry Christmas Norma....thanks for all your hard work!! Bob
Norma,I was reading a Buddy's Yelp review recently where a diner described the Buddy's cheese as "nice, robust and stinky"...Peter
Gene,Since you are from Detroit and have eaten at Buddys would you describe the brick cheese on Buddys regular pizzas as mild tasting?Norma
I've only eaten at Buddy's twice, but thought the cheese was mild tasting.
Jeff,Thanks for telling me that you thought the cheese on Buddy's pizza was mild. That is what Steve and I thought from the partly baked pizza I purchased, but just wanted to make sure what other members might think, since my Buddy's pizza did have to be baked again.I think using part cheedar and mozzarella do also give a Buddy's clone pizza a good taste, but probably won't be able to purchase brick cheese for my Buddy's clones at market. Probably in the end I will have to offer a modified Buddy's clone.Norma
I personally like that blend or mozzarella provolone blend on those type pizzas sometimes.
Jeff,The mozzarella provolone blend sounds good to me too. I did try something like that one time here on this thread when I used the Grande cheddar, provolone and mozzarellas blend. I thought that was good. Do the edges taste as good with only the mozzarella provolone blend?Norma
I think it does. Different but still good. I'm fortunate to have Grande mozzarella and provolone right at my local deli which I like. In the past I've gotten provolone that didn't have much flavor or a fake smokey flavor that didn't work for me.Have you ever tried Weyauwega Dairy cheese? I'm not sure if they are distributed by you but they make good cheese that is always fresh and flavorful including brick. Their website is http://wegastardairy.com/
No, I have not tried any Weyauwega Dairy cheeses. I see their brick cheese is aged. Did you ever try the Weyauwega brick cheese? Thanks for the link for Weyauwega cheeses. I havent seen Weyauwega cheese in my area, but I can check it out.Norma
I've had quite a few of their cheeses including the brick and like them all. They sell quite a bit direct around here, so it's always fresh. If you see it around try some!
Norma,I have been thinking about your situation. Do you have storage capacity for cold fermenting the dough balls directly in the pans?Peter
Norma,I had planned to list many of the ways that a dough formulation like the Buddy's clone dough formulation can be modified to speed things up in the context of a cold fermentation but saw that you already mentioned a few of those ways. However, I thought that it still might be useful to provide that list. Also, in your case, I think I would target 10:30AM at market as the time at which you would be able to use the dough to make a pizza. However, even then, you may need to use your Hatco unit to take the chill off of the dough and get it to rise a bit sooner. In no particular order, here is my list:1. Increase the amount of yeast.2. Increase the finished dough temperature (as by using warmer water or a heating/proofing unit of some sort).3. Subject the finished dough to a brief fermentation period at room temperature before cooling.4. Increase the amount of dough.5. Increase the formula hydration (with maybe a few stretch and folds).6. Temper the dough upon removal from the cooling unit at an elevated temperature.7. Various combinations of the above.I did not say anything about salt in the above list but in your case I would not use any salt. That should also help speed up the fermentation process because there will not be any inhibiting effect that salt at normal levels has on yeast performance. Also, as I have discussed before, as hard as I tried working with everything we know about the Buddy's dough and testing several different scenarios, I was unable to establish that Buddy's uses any salt in its dough. If is is there, and assuming that Buddy's Nutrition data is correct, it is minuscule at the dough ball level and will not have any material effect on either dough performance or the taste of the finished crust.I do not have a magic wand to wave to come up with the best combination of the measures given in the above list to use in your case. You operate with too many possible variables at market to come up with a one-size-fits-all dough that will work to fill an order at any give time of the day at market. You will no doubt have to juggle use of your heating and cooling units at market to keep the dough where it needs to be to make an acceptable pizza. One advantage you have, however, is that you have the option of making an emergency Buddy's clone dough at market if you have a roughly 1-3 hour available to you within which to make such a dough. Aside from logistical considerations, you might be able to use both cold fermented variations of the Buddy's clone dough and emergency versions of that dough at market.In your case, leveraging off of what we already know about what you have done to date with the Buddy's clone doughs, you might try the following: Increase the amount of dough to about 9.5 ounces, increase the amount of IDY to 1%, target a finished dough temperature of about 85 degrees F, and let the dough ferment at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooling. I would put the dough balls directly into their pans at the outset to then go into your chosen cooling unit. The following day, you would visually assess the degree of expansion of the dough upon your arrival at market and determine whether there will be a need to use your Hatco unit to warm up the dough before using.At some point, I think it would be interesting and instructive to try increasing the amount of water used in a Buddy's clone dough, maybe from about 71% to about 73%. That measure might be additive to the measures suggested above. However, I don't see a need for such a hydration increase at this point and would perhaps only suggest same if the other measures do not do the trick. Of course, there is no reason why you can't conduct hydration experiments, or any other for that matter, at home. They don't all have to be done at market.Peter
You dont think there would be any possible way I could use an emergency dough for all day long, without making more than one batch of dough do you?
Norma,The main problem is getting the 10:30AM emergency Buddy's clone dough balls. If you were to go to market about three hours sooner, that is, at 7:30 AM, you could make your 0.80% IDY Buddy's clone dough balls at about that time and use the first one at 10:30AM and hold the rest of the dough balls in one of the cooler units until needed to fill later orders. An alternative approach would be to use, say, 1% IDY and a finished dough temperature of around 90 degrees F, and make one-hour emergency Buddy's clone dough balls at about 9:30AM. The first one could be used at 10:30AM and the rest could be held in one of your cooler units until needed to fill later orders. If the 10:30AM dough balls were not needed, then you could use less yeast (depending on when you decide to make the dough) and spread the use of the dough balls in a more balanced way across the day. You could do the same sort of thing with cold fermented dough balls. The more yeast that is used to make the dough balls and the higher their finished dough temperatures the harder it is to make them last throughout the day without overfermenting. You have to juggle use of your cooling units and learn when to pull the dough balls/pans to get them ready to make the pizzas. I suspect that Buddy's avoids these types of issues by making multiple dough batches throughout the day, based on historical volumes for each day.Peter

Marvel Unlimited Edition: (G)Roots Of The Guardians Of The Galaxy
The Marvel Unlimited app is a gigantic, messy cache of awesome and terrible old comic books: a library of 13,000 or so back issues of Marvel titles, available on demand for subscribers with tablets or mobile phones. Like any good back-room longbox, it's disorganized and riddled with gaps, but it's also full of forgotten and overlooked jewels, as well as a few stone classics. In Marvel Unlimited Edition, Eisner-winning critic Douglas Wolk dives into the Unlimited archive to find its best, oddest and most intriguing comics.
Two spin-offs of Guardians of the Galaxy launch in recent weeks: The Legendary Star-Lord and the already-surprise-hit Rocket Raccoon. Marvel Unlimited's got a fairly thorough, if not quite complete, selection of most of the Guardians' previous appearances, especially the ones in the Annihilation/Annihilation: Conquest/Annihilators sequence. But their prehistory is worth digging into, too, and there's some choice proto-Guardians material in the archive.

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- In their own subtle, business-like way, the San Antonio Spurs reminded the Los Angeles Lakers - and everyone else - that they are the NBA champions. Tony Parker scored 29 points as the Spurs ended the 11-game winning streak of the Lakers and continued their own late-season push with a methodical 95-89 victory. "They've been playing better than any other team in the league, and for us to come in here and win means we're getting better," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "We still have a ways to go. But at least we can feel comfortable in the sense that we are getting better and that we're in the hunt. It was a great win." "They are defending champions until someone beats them," admitted Lakers guard Kobe Bryant. While the Spurs have operated beneath the radar, the Lakers have been the talk of the NBA virtually all season, with a lineup of four future Hall of Famers and what seemed to be a weekly issue involving at least one of them. Over the last three weeks, all four superstars have been healthy, allowing the Lakers to put together their longest winning streak of the season. Some said they had become unbeatable and were tuning up for another championship. But it was the Spurs who ended the three-year title run of the Lakers last spring and it was the Spurs again stopping the Lakers cold, controlling the last three quarters of the nationally televised game. "It's always been like that. We are not paying attention to that," Parker said. "I think it is normal that we talk about them. But it's OK. We'll be there for the playoffs. Because we're San Antonio, we are a small city, so they don't talk much about us." "You don't have to talk about us," said swingman Bruce Bowen, who had his usual stellar defensive game. "We're just vanilla, whereas the Lakers are Chunky Monkey, or something like that." The key was Parker, the French point guard who ran the pick-and-roll with superstar Tim Duncan to perfection. He repeatedly got inside LA's defense for easy shots for himself or teammates, collecting nine assists. The Spurs exploited Lakers superstar center Shaquille O'Neal, who is reluctant to move his feet against the pick-and-roll. When O'Neal came out, Parker went past him. When O'Neal dropped back, Parker found Tim Duncan for jumpers. "It may have been the pick-and-rolls," Parker said. "With Timmy and Kevin (Willis), we did a pretty good job with the pick-and-rolls. I was pretty open. I knew if I made a couple of shots on the outside it would open it up for Timmy." "Today we just weren't rotating quick enough, and they hit some big shots on us," O'Neal said. "And Tony Parker played good. He had his way with us. So we have to figure out how we're going to play this team." Duncan had 18 points, 13 rebounds and six assists for San Antonio (52-25), which has won six in a row. The Spurs are one game behind Los Angeles (53-24) in the Western Conference and 1 1/2 behind Minnesota (54-24) in the Midwest Division. "We need to try and win all the games left and see what happens," Parker said. "We're confident we can win on the road. So it doesn't matter if we get the top seed or not. It is great to have that home-court advantage, but if (we) don't have it, we can win on the road." Bryant scored 28 points, Gary Payton added 21, O'Neal 17 and Karl Malone 12. But the four superstars were the only players in double figures for the Lakers, who never led in the second half. "I never felt that we had the kind of energy in the game that I like to have," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "It felt like the direction or tempo that controlled the game was all Spur ball." Parker did that at the end of the first half. With O'Neal off the floor with foul trouble, he scored the first seven points in a 9-0 run that gave the Spurs a 53-42 lead. In the third quarter, LA surged into a 56-56 tie before San Antonio took the lead for good as Duncan hit three straight jumpers off the pick-and-roll, helping open a 69-62 lead. "We're moving the ball really well, running the offense real well, running pick-and-rolls with Tony, so we're just finding different ways to attack people," Duncan said. The Lakers had just one basket in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter and their frustration showed as Malone was whistled for a technical foul. Three free throws by Manu Ginobili gave the Spurs their largest lead at 84-70 with 6:19 to go. Two foul shots and a drive by Parker stemmed a surge by the Lakers and made it 88-80 with 4:14 left. The Lakers got within 88-84 with 3:02 remaining, but Duncan drilled an 18-footer, then whipped a lefthanded pass to Parker for a 3-pointer that sealed it. Bowen scored 12 points and limited Bryant to 9-of-26 shooting for the Spurs, who had lost the first three meetings between the teams. However, all three came in the first six weeks of the season, and Duncan missed two with an injury. "They were playing with a lot of confidence and we came here and we did a great job and beat them," said Ginobili, who scored 12 points. "They were really rolling and playing very well, beating everybody. It was very important for us to get a win here."

Perk of Working From Home: Enhanced Quality of Life
Posted Jun 13, 2012 in LMT Surveys
From financial benefits to more family time, home-based laboratory owners are singing the praises of not having a commute.
"Very satisfied" is how three-quarters of home-based lab owners feel about their decision to work from home, according to LMT's Small Lab Survey. The financial benefits include lower overhead, no commuting costs and tax advantages. But more importantly for many respondents is the enhanced quality of life: more family time, flexible hours, more relaxed atmosphere and the ability to balance work/home demands more easily.
"I have been a working mother who was always home when my kids were home. We have a close-knit family and I think working at home has allowed me to have a career and a family and balance them—something that is difficult for many women to do. It's really nice to be able to start the burnout and do a casting as soon as I get up, or run downstairs to press something in the evening to get started on my work for the next day. I also get to start dinner for my family and get my work done at the same time," says Susan Krivichi, Dental Harmony, Ltd., Menomonee Falls, WI.
In fact, 58% of our respondents who now operate their labs from home were previously located outside the house. In addition to the convenience and economics, many moved home to downsize and focus on what they love best—working at the bench—rather than managing employees.
One of the misconceptions about home-based labs is that the owners never stop working. On the contrary, nearly half of these home-based lab owners say they work fewer hours because their lab is located in the house. In fact, they work about six hours less per week than their non-home-based counterparts; 74% of our home-based respondents prefer to maintain a flexible schedule rather than work set hours.
Work/Home Separation
The key to separating work from home life is discipline, learning to multi-task effectively and keeping the workload in check. "I keep my head down and do what needs to be done when it suits me. I look at it like I am living with a conveyer belt (time) that never stops. I can step up to the belt and process the work any time of day or night that I choose but the work must ship on the day I originally designated--no exceptions and no excuses. It works for me. I am pretty much able to come and go as I wish," says Rudy Ziegler, Ziegler Dental Laboratory, Oakland, OR.
Another fallacy is that home-based laboratories aren't quality oriented or embracing the latest technology. In fact, 13% of our respondents have a CAD scanner and 5% have a milling unit. "We're in our fifth year of scanning and digitizing our lab. We're custom-coloring presintered substructures and modifying full contour crowns in the occlusal areas to enhance the natural look of the anatomy. We will install our Roland 5-axis milling machine next month so we'll have full control and ability to mill our own zirconia, PMMA and wax frameworks. It will take us to the next level of technology," says Tim Tyndall, CDT, Owner, Creative Expressions, Winterville, NC.
Almost all—95%—of our respondents say their clients know the lab is located in their home "Our dentists have visited our lab. They have confidence in us and know we produce good work, regardless of the location. In other words, a commercial location really has nothing to do with the quality of the work being done," says the owner of a C&B lab in California.
Be sure to check out the profiles below of 10 home-based laboratories whose owners are proud of their businesses and eager to show off their facilities.

Topic: Autocomplete search algorithm
Hi, I'm looking for the best search algorithm for autocomplete.
I am weak at SQL and I'm hoping someone will give a hand.
I need autocomplete to suggest best matches for artists.
Thedatabase may look like this:
John Smith
Smithers Burger
James Alsmit
The corporation
Corporate Kidz
Searching for "cor" I would expect it to find "The corporation", "Corporate Kidz"
and "Corpse,The"
Searching for "the cor" It should find "The corporation", "Corporate Kidz" and "Corpse,The"
with preference to the ones containing "the"
Also If I start typing "smi" it should display "John Smith" and "Smithers Burger" and James Alsmit with preference given to the ones beginning with "Smi"
I have constructing various MySQL queries but none seem to get it right.
I would expect an algorithm like this to be almost standard on my SQL search queries.

Thanks to ZENCHA for sharing this very edible idea.
OK, TeaChatters, I sense there are those who love to cook, and certainly those who love to eat as well.
We have TeaDay to share what TEA you are drinking. Soooo, let's see where this topic goes. Please feel free to jump in any time the urge to share what is cooking, what is on your plate, in your bowl, etc ... today.
It does NOT have to have anything to do with tea, but of course it can. It can also reflect a fave food culture's influence ... or not.
So, get cooking and share with us today ... everyday if you want.
Mod Edit: this will be a single running topic, not a new topic daily like TeaDay ... so keep the topic rolling by posting. It is located here in the TD forum to promote the topic, it will likely be moved soon to its permanent home.
Hmmm, though this seems like an interesting location. So, you can share what is in your cup in TD and come here and share what is on your plate ...

Lets' get that road opened
As all of you know by now, the Quinnesec/Lake Antoine Road in Iron Mountain is not being opened for truck traffic. This road is not being finished this year due to a conflict between MDOT and the contractor. Apparently there is an issue with the mix design.
I have recently contacted the Dickinson County Road Commission and found out that they have been doing everything possible to get the conflict resolved.
So, let's get some public and trucking industry support and contact Representative Ed McBroom and Senator Tom Casperson to put pressure on MDOT in Lansing. Let's get that road opened up as soon as possible. The large amount of unnecessary truck traffic through downtown Iron Mountain is not only dangerous to pedestrians, students walking to school and the general downtown public but it also puts undue stress upon the streets. We have a lot of log trucks going through town when they could be using the Lake Antoine Road to get to the mills or their destinations.
Write or call:
Representative Ed McBroom, Phone 855-347-8108, S-1487 House Office Building, P.O. Box 30014, Lansing, MI 48909 or email email@example.com
Senator Thomas Casperson, Phone 866-305-2038, P.O. Box 30036, Lansing, MI 48909 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fletcher: We need to trim fat from government
Now that I'm getting to what I think of as a fairly advanced age, I decided I would get a fancy annual physical at the Mayo Clinic to serve as a baseline assessment when (not if) my physical well being started to decline due to age.
I had the exam a couple of months ago and happily there was nothing much amiss at this time. This is not to say there was nothing wrong as they had me don a Speedo and get into a contraption called the Bod Pod.
This infernal device is a smallish cabinet into which you arrange yourself and then they close the door. Actually the measurement is about how much air you displace which indicates your body mass index. The BMI is a scale of how fat one is. I was thinking that at 170 pounds and 5 feet 9 inches, I was in pretty good shape to ace this test. Alas, I am moderately obese and consequently on a self imposed diet.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity can lead to hypertension, cholesterol or triglyceride problems, Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gall bladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, respiratory problems and some cancers including endometrial, breast and colon. I got on a diet.
As someone with training in economics, I just naturally got to thinking about the spending habits of our federal government and how they remind me of morbid obesity. We don't need a Bod Pod to tell us government is too fat; we have other methods. The federal budget has a lot in common with me – we're too big. Too much eating and too much spending led to big problems. Cutting the fat is a way to better physical and economic health.
If we slim down we will have more physical and economic energy which equals more jobs done and more jobs created. We will be better looking to others and to rating agencies. As individuals and government we will have more confidence when working and interacting with others. America and I will probably have more self esteem. Best of all, we will exist longer at a lower weight.
America's government spending is measuring about 2 1/2 axe handles across the butt and shouldn't ever go bare mid-drift until we as a nation take some steps to pare it down a bit. Our spending, like over eating, needs some modification.
I heard an economist from a major U.S. bank say we might be in danger of losing the dollar's most favored position as the reserve currency for the world which is worth billions of dollars in trade advantage. I spoke to him after his speech and reminded him the world's fastest growing economies of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) had already established a currency of their own for trading among themselves. Essentially, those five had established a new reserve currency for each other.
We are getting an economic malaise while Congress and the Administration ignore the economy. They are afraid of the hard work at reducing spending for fear that they won't get re-elected.
The economy got into the Bod Pod but the doctors of the economy just can't pull it back out. America's economy is just too fat. If we are to create long-term economic growth and jobs, we have to lose a little weight.

Real Life Travel Adventures along the lines of Anthony Bourdain of CNN's Part's Unknown have become the popular way to experience foreign lands. Global.Li is seeking to help provide that experience. I was exposed to them via the PhocusWright Travel Innovation Conference. Last week I wrote about how most of the "innovators" were either a new travel booking site or another social media site for travel. Not very innovative. However, Global.Li clearly stood out as they seek to fill a real need.
Global.Li is an exciting new start up that provides a way for travelers and Travel Agents to connect with small boutique hotels and tour operators that do not advertise in the world market. This is a significant development. Read more

In short: Brilliiantly organised, fantastic martials, scenery and value for moneyIn full: A superb day all round. Brilliant organisation and superb support from the martials, checkpoint staff/feed stations and catering staff etc etc.Wonderful course with stunning vistas and testing trails. By far the hardest race I've ever done but what a very memorable day!Value for money too was outstanding and it was a very nice touch to offer runners a place to kip down the evening before for free!I can't remember attending a better organised event which offered such oustanding value for money!I'll be back!!!Date of review: April 10, 2013
In short: The yellow thing in the sky helped make this a cracking raceIn full: Very friendly set up, really enjoyed it. I do feel running these distances is just silly but if I do it again I'll come back here.Date of review: April 9, 2013
In short: Excellent course and organisation. Some tough hills.In full: The sun was out at last! Big bonus for this excellent event. Praise for the race HQ, parking, organisation, marshals and the excellent testing and varied course. Open fields, woods, steep hills, gradual hills, track, tarmac, dirt. Over 2000 feet of climb on the 20m lap. I found it all pretty hard work this time around - so tough, I quit after lap 1! Can't fault any aspect of this one. Great value considering the t-shirt inclusion as well.Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: A brilliant, friendly race. Beautiful scenery and excellent aid stations. In full: We couldn't have asked for a better day. The sun was shining and the views over the hills just breathtaking. Excellent organisation and a really friendly atmosphere makes this race possibly my favourite race of the year. Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: Quite tough run through beautiful countryside In full: Fantastic race: the weather was perfect and the scenery wonderful, especially above Streatley and back through to Compton. Very friendly event and plenty of jolly conversation during race. The trail was clearly marked and the water stations well stocked. Basically, this echoes everything that has gone before!Not sure how many good reviews this needs to qualify for the annual best race in RW but this certainly deserves to be a contender.Date of review: April 7, 2013
In short: Excellent trail race through beautiful countrysideIn full: First time doing the Compton Challenge. I opted for the 20, but will be back for the 40. The race is really well organised and very friendly. The course is spectacular and very well marked & marshalled by very friendly people. I would highly recommend this race to anyone who wants a longer distance off-road challenge.Date of review: April 7, 2013
In short: Great race and weatherIn full: First time on this race - usually away for easter - but the timing for this was perfect. Goof varied course - even though I did the 40 - still enjoyed the 2nd loop (hills were a lot tougher 2nd time around)Organisation was brilliant - that's to everyone involved - be back next year.Date of review: April 7, 2013
In short: Stunning courseIn full: Great organisation at the start, with the use of the school all day.The route was well marked with plenty of checkpoints providing tea, coffee, cola, soup and sweet and savoury snacks. Marshals were very friendly and helpful, providing a smile and a chat even to those of us bringing up the rear of the 40 mile event.Great t-shirt at the end, with hot food and a showerStunning scenery, mixed terrain with some gorgeous views. This was my first time at this event and this year the course was altered slightly due to flooding, so that it was 2 laps of the 20 mile course. This meant that those of us running the 40 were treated to "that" hill twice! A bonus... Excellent course, brilliant organisation and all for the bargain price of £15. Would definitely do again.Date of review: April 7, 2013

Iris Blandon-Gitlin
Assistant Professor & Researcher on Racial Profiling
Stephan F. Austin University
Dr. Theo Joseph's work in applied social psychology has shown how a researcher can have an immediate impact on his or her community. As part of his doctoral portfolio, Theo chose to tackle the hot question of whether a local police department used racial profiling when making pretextual stops. Armed with his Claremont training, a handful of speed calculators, a wardrobe of safety vests, and a team of graduate student volunteers, Theo ran a study to compare police records to the demographics of who was actually speeding. Needless to say, his research quickly had the community and the local government talking.
Now graduated and teaching at Stephan F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas, Dr. Joseph is continuing this research. His current projects examine the role economics play in pretextual traffic stops. Once the data has been collected, Theo will take the work into a lab, where he and his team will look at the cognitive processes involved in pretextual stops. The completed project will show how a knowledge of applied statistics, social behaviors, and brain functioning can be used to improve our knowledge of how society works—and how it could work better.
Theodore Joseph settled in Brooklyn after leaving Trinidad in 1993. After earning his B.A. and an applied counseling degree (both with honors) in New York, Theo joined the Applied Social Psychology program at CGU with a full-tuition fellowship. While at CGU, Theo was the graduate coordinator of the Minority Mentor Program, a university-wide project that focuses on retaining minority students in graduate education. His research at CGU focused on the assimilation of Haitians into American society in Florida, stigmatization of Indo-Americans after 9/11, and his ambitious project to examine alleged racial profiling by law enforcement authorities. He has now settled in Texas with his wife and children, and has stayed in close contact with professors and old friends from Claremont Graduate University.

Although history books usually begin with the 19th-century gold rush to the central Rockies, the real cradle of Colorado is here, on the wind-swept plains of the Southeast. It was here, in the 1540s, that the first gold-seekers arrived - Francisco Vasquez de Coronado and his band of conquistadores. It was here, in 1806, that Colorado received its first emissaries from the United States - the expedition led by Zebulon Pike. And it was here, in 1833, that the first American settlement was raised - Bent's Old Fort. __The Arkansas River represents a direct line into the past. The Santa Fe Trail ran right alongside it, bringing traders and, later, armies into one of the country's last Native American strongholds. For legendary frontiersmen such as Kit Carson and John C. Fremont, the Arkansas provided a gateway to the Rockies. Homesteaders traveled upstream in their wake, moving in tandem with the railroad crews and building towns - Lamar, La Junta and Rocky Ford - that still dot the banks of the river. The two largest cities of Southeast Colorado, Trinidad and Pueblo, made their wealth on ranching, coal mining and commerce. __Today the region possesses the dignity that comes with age. There's no heritage of hurry here, no rush to riches at the foundation of the culture. Time is as plentiful as the prairie shortgrass. Visitors who overlook this quiet corner of the state are missing out on something special. In the vastness of its landscapes and the bottomless depth of its roots, Southeast Colorado conveys a sense of the eternal.

Early dismissal for FD schools
Home triangular for Dodgers
The Fort Dodge wrestling team returns home this evening for a triangular with long-time rival Mason City and No. 7 (Class 3A) Ankeny.
Action begins with the Dodgers and Mohawks at 5:30 p.m. Mason City will then wrestle Ankeny at approximately 7 p.m., followed by Fort Dodge facing the Hawks at around 8:30 p.m.
With districts less than a month away, FDSH head coach Bobby Thompson knows each time his squad steps on the mat is an important one.
"The big thing for us right now is getting ready for districts," Thompson said. "Everything we are working on in practice, and hoping to see out on the mat, is geared towards that."
Fort Dodge (4-3 overall, 1-0 CIC Northern) is led by second-ranked Duke Egli, who is a perfect 25-0 and competes at 170 pounds. Riley Prescott is rated eighth at 195, while Kyle Johnson is No. 9 at 220.
Mason City (9-12, 2-0) has earned conference victories over both Ames and Marshalltown, and can clinch the league dual title with a win over the Dodgers. Kaz Onoo leads the Mohawks, as he is the top-ranked wrestler at 113 pounds and is 21-2.
Stone Sturges is sixth at 152, while Andrew Bartel is seventh at 160.
"Likely, the winner between us and Mason City is going to win that first CIC title," Thompson said. "While that isn't the most important thing for us right now, it is something I think we'd all like to pick up if we can. You want to win as much as possible, and we know (the Mohawks) are going to bring it to us.
"This is a long, storied rivalry that was competitive when I was (wrestling) here and will be competitive (Thursday)."
The dual with Mason City is also important for Thompson because they will see the Mohawks on Feb. 9 at a district meet back inside the FDSH gym.
Ankeny (15-1) features eight ranked grapplers, including Joel Lanning, an Iowa State University football recruit. Lanning is 8-3 on the year.
Austin Anderson is 20-1 and rated fourth at 120, while Xavier Quigley is undefeated (20-0) and No. 4 at heavyweight. Other ranked wrestlers for the Hawks include Patrick Steffen (No. 10, 145), Lucas Lockhart (No. 10, 152), Sam Pickard (No. 8, 170), John Ware (No. 10, 182) and Wil Simpkins (No. 10, 195).
"Ankeny is a typical Ankeny team: big, strong, athletic and deep," Thompson said. "I feel like we match up with them pretty well, but we are going to have to be mentally strong and not give up any bonus points."
The Hawks have only lost to Southeast Polk this year, and own 107 falls as a collective team. They have allowed just 46 pins against the opposition.
Ankeny is coached by ex-Dodger standout Dave Ewing, who placed second twice for FDSH in 1979 and '80.

Having a jar of quick pickles in my fridge makes my weeknight cooking both easier and more interesting. It's a two for one deal: you get something delicious and crunchy that goes with almost anything, and you are 90% of the way to a finished dish. They're a cinch to put together and will last throughout the week, at which point you can choose another vegetable to pickle.
In the few days since I made this batch of pickled fennel, I have: chopped up the fennel and mixed it with rice, along with some of the pickling liquid and olive oil; added the fennel to blanched fresh cranberry and green beans and dressed the mixture with pickling liquid, olive oil, and herbs; chopped the fennel and added it to a salad, and used the pickling liquid to make the dressing; eaten the pickles with cheese and crackers; added them to a sandwich.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
General Description
The shell is large, up to 110 mm long, rather thickwalled and solid. It is moderately short, wedge-shaped-modioliform, little variable, and modestly inflated. The shell is equivalve, with a length/height ratio of 1.8-1.9. The beaks are almost terminal to terminal or even slightly protruding anteriorly. The anterior margin is narrowly rounded, whilst the ventral margin is visibly concave in the middle part, occasionally with a well-marked crease at the end of the first fourth or fifth of the valve, which makes the anterior part appear bent ventrally. The posterior margin is ventrally broadly rounded ventrally, and the postero-dorsal margin is markedly convex. The postero-dorsal corner is well rounded. The ligament plate is more or less arched. The exterior has well developed, dense, irregular growth lines. The umbone is broad and somewhat flattened.
The periostracum is thick, dark chestnut brown in colour, and is smooth and dull, with no periostracal hairs and no byssal endplates. The umbonal region is generally eroded in half-grown and larger specimens. The hinge is toothless, with the anterior hinge margin strengthened to a buttress along the valve edge and protruding ventrally. Posteriorly, the buttress does not abruptly end, but gradually passes into the subligamental shell ridge. The ligament is opisthodetic, strong, and extends to more or less in front of the postero-dorsal corner (depending on the situationof the latter), and ends abruptly without any taper. The subligamental shell ridge is faint, visible along two thirds of ligament length and from both ventral and lateral perspectives. The anterior adductor scar is small and oval, under or just behind the umbone. The posterior adductor scar is a large rounded-oval, united with the long scar of the posterior pedal and byssus retractor muscle. The scar of the anterior bundle of the posterior retractor is not at all or hardly separated from that of the posterior bundle, with the anterior end situated under the posterior third or fourth of the ligament. The anterior byssus retractor scar is in the posterior part of the umbonal cavity, well behind the beaks, and is visible only when viewed from posterior and ventrally. The pallial line is only weakly concave in the middle.
The shell without periostracum is a dull whitish colour, whilst the interior is white and slightly nacreous.
The animal is not known, but judging from the muscle scars, it is evident that it has an almost continuous multibundle posterior retractor.

Diana Adams is an attorney in Brooklyn. I imagine there are a lot of those. But Ms. Adams' work focuses on attaining marriage rights for people like herself: those living in polyamorous living situations. To get a sense of this:
Along with her primary partner Ed, she is currently romantically involved with several other men and women.
An interview with Ms. Adams is currently featured in The Atlantic. She was asked, after stating that we humans have a "hard time with monogamy," what the consequences of a traditional married lifestyle are.
I think it's interesting to see the way that when people get into a monogamous couple dynamic, they often have to neuter their sexual desires.
"Neuter" is an interesting choice of words. It's not the one I'd choose, although I tend to agree with Ms. Adams here: marriage requires holding our appetites in check. This, then, brought to mind a show featured on TLC, "My 600-lb Life." The show focuses on morbidly obese people struggling to lose weight. Often these folks are bed-ridden, literally trapped in their own flesh. They've completely lost control of their appetites. (more…)

Sheriff urges caution when out ice fishing
ESCANABA – Safety may not be the first thing ice fishermen are thinking about when they take to the ice this winter, but a little forethought could save lives.
According to Delta County Sheriff Gary Ballweg, the best way to protect yourself if you fall through the ice is to be prepared.
When a victim falls through ice, the ice surrounding the opening will crack easily, making it difficult to escape. Ballweg suggests anglers venturing out on ice should have spikes with them to grip into ice and pull themselves out of the water.
Anyone who is attempting to climb out of a hole in the ice should kick their feet in the water – like they are swimming – while pulling themselves onto the surface of the ice, he said.
When a victim pulls themselves out of the water they should roll away from the opening rather than trying to stand. Rolling spreads out the victim's body weight and limits pressure points on the ice, which could cause them to break through again.
If a group of people out on the ice hear a crack, the group should spread out and lie down before crawling to safety. Just like rolling away from an opening, lying down distributes weight over a larger area.
Escaping the ice and frigid water is only half of surviving a plunge into the water.
"The biggest danger is hypothermia. If you fall through the ice and manage to climb out you need to seek medical assistance quickly," Ballweg said. "Regardless of the situation call 911 right away."
Knowing how to escape the ice and prevent hypothermia in case of an emergency is important, but there are things that fishermen should consider before venturing onto the ice.
Snowmobiles and other off-road vehicles are frequently responsible for ice-related fatalities. The heavy, loud machines can break through ice with little warning for their operators.
"It is absolutely not safe to take a snowmobile or ORV out there," Ballweg said.
River crossings also present extra risks due to currents under the ice. Parents should be aware of the dangers of river and stream crossings and keep their children away from those areas.
Many deaths and near-drownings happen when dogs and other family pets wander onto dangerous ice and their owners try to retrieve them. Instead Ballweg recommends coaxing the animal back to safety.
If the ice breaks under a pet, owners should not attempt a rescue.
"If it can't hold the weight of your pet, it can't hold you," Ballweg said.
