Cruz defends style a Democrat likened to McCarthyism
LEANDER, Texas (Reuters) - First-term Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas on Tuesday staunchly defended his aggressive, in-your-face style that already is raising eyebrows in Washington and has led a Senate Democrat to suggest his tactics reminded her of McCarthyism.
"Washington has a long tradition of trying to hurl insults to silence those who they don't like what they're saying," Cruz told reporters on a visit to a Texas gun manufacturer. "I have to admit I find it amusing that those in Washington are puzzled when someone actually does what they said they would do." Employees at LaRue Tactical near Austin cheered the senator enthusiastically during his appearance. Cruz, 42, raised eyebrows in Washington by aggressively criticizing former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, President Barack Obama's nominee for defense secretary, during a Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing. Cruz angered lawmakers in both parties by suggesting, without giving evidence, that Hagel might have taken money from countries such as communist North Korea. In comments published in the New York Times on Saturday, Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer of California compared Cruz's accusations about Hagel to those made by former Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s in his hunt for communists. (snip) At LaRue Tactical, which makes semiautomatic rifles for civilians and also makes guns for the military, marketing director Mark Fingar said Cruz was a "no-nonsense senator." "He's our type of guy," Fingar said. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-02-19/news/sns-rt-us-usa-texas-cruzbre91j04o-20130219_1_republican-senator-chuck-hagel-gun-control-measures-connecticut-elementary-school

1. marketing director Mark Fingar said Cruz was a "no-nonsense senator." "He's our type of guy,"
Does that mean he plans to arm all the Hispanics??

and Cruz you are one of them."

3. I wonder how many hate groups and terror organizations
have endorsed Cruz and/or fellow Republicans?
We know that white supremacist group has been big fans of Ron Paul for a long time, and there was a branch of Al Qaeda that endorsed Bush in 2004. I think Iran endorsed Bush as well. |

Hi, I'm 3 days post op from a chin implant. I've got a 7 mm medpor implant. My chin looks a lot bigger than I want it to be but my ps says it is just swelling that looks my jaw so huge. However he doesn't say how much of it is swelling. I used to have a small and short face and now it looks quite long and unpleasing to me. Can you tell me how much percentage of it is swelling by looking at this picture? Thank you!
Chin Implant - Swelling or Wrong Implant Size?

At three days post-operative there is still a considerabel amount of swelling. Try to be patient.
Web reference: http://www.sullivancentre.com
Just 3 days after surgery it is impossible to know if you have normal post-op swelling or an implant that is too large. Be patient. Ultimately, if your not satisfied the implant can be replaced.

Hi Malin 1984,
It is still very early in the recovery period for you. There is usually a lot of swelling following a chin implant for at least the first week. Without knowing you pre-operatively and not having been in your surgery, it is difficult for anyone other than your surgeon to say how much is swelling and how much of it is the implant. Just realize that it is absolutely normal to be swollen 3 days after surgery and try not to worry. In the next couple of days the swelling should slowly start to come down.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The French presidential election will get plenty of digital ink on Sunday, but it may not have much of an impact on U.S. markets in the coming week because Wall Street likely has priced in the expected victory of Francois Hollande over Nicolas Sarkozy. What's more likely to roil equities is the drama at the polls in Greece, where the population is frustrated with both the socialist and conservative parties.
"That's why the Greek election is more important for the market, because what you may see is a template in Greece of citizenry just basically saying we don't want this austerity," said Quincy Krosby, Prudential Financial market strategist. Brian Lazorishak, portfolio manager and quantitative analyst at Chase Investment Council, agreed that the market has already factored in a loss by Sarkozy, a development that complicates how the eurozone deals with its sovereign debt troubles because it's not clear how Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will work together. "I think the French election is something people are talking about a little," Lazorishak said. "I'm not sure what kind of impact that will have on the U.S. markets. Certainly it's having one on Europe." > > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll The major U.S. equity indices just endured their worst week of the year. The big blow came on Friday when the April employment report came in weaker than expected, showing that only 115,000 jobs were created during the month. Investors are worried about a repeat of the last two years when stocks peaked in the spring. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.46%, or 192.62 points, this week, closing on Friday at 13,035.77. The blue-chip index has risen 6.7% year to date. The S&P 500 dropped 2.21%, or 30.9 points, to close this week at 1,369.08. Year to date, the index has risen 8.86%. The Nasdaq Composite lost 3.49%, or 106.8 points, to close on Friday at 2,956.34. The index has climbed 13.48% year to date. Even though the French election may not weigh very much on the U.S. markets, it will bring Europe back into the forefont of investors' minds after they had a sharper focus this week on US. economic news, Lazorishak added. "If there's nothing better to trade on in the market, it trades on Europe," Lazorishak said, noting that in the absence of meaningful U.S. economic data or earnings, the market's focus will be on Europe. The bigger pieces of economic data next week are the producer price index and the University of Michigan read on consumer sentiment, both of which come out on Friday. The producer price index was flat in March, and the consensus is calling for more of the same in April, according to Thomson Reuters. Last month's consumer sentiment report was revised to 76.4 from the first reading of 75.7. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com expect the survey to tick down to 76.2. Krosby will be watching Thursday's initial jobless claims report, in particular the four-week moving average. She said that, "especially after Friday's number, you want to see the data get better or get materially weaker to have the Federal Reserve show its hand. We have mixed data right now." Initial jobless claims are anticipated to come in at 365,000, according to Briefing.com. Another area that Krosby will be watching next week is the 10-year and 30-year Treasury bond auctions. She's been keeping an eye on the 10-year yield because "it's disconcerting that the market is going higher, but it's not being confirmed by the 10-year yield. That's telling us that investors still believe the economy is slowing." This week marked the start of trading in May, and the old adage "Sell in May and go away" got lots of play. Krosby thinks that there may be some selling happening in May, but it's a little different this time around. "It's not because of the calendar, but it's more to do with the data," she said. "And it has more to do with the Fed and the notion that things get bad and Bernanke has said the Fed will be more accommodative. It makes it hard to sell in May and go away when the Fed may come in with the June meeting maybe and offer the market more accommodation. You don't want to be out of the market when the Fed is going to be helping to stimulate market activity."

Five of the Least Important Reasons Not to Drive Drunk on New Year's Eve
We all know driving drunk is dumb. We all know doing it is dangerous and literally kills a lot of people every year. We also know it is completely avoidable. With New Year's Eve coming up, the drunkiest holiday of the year, it is time for us all to reacquaint ourselves with the concepts of a designated driver, the taxicab, and the tried-and-true pass out on the friend's couch maneuver. This could save your life and the lives of the innocent people you crash your giant pile of metal that used to be a car into.
But there are other, much less important reasons not to drink and drive. They are superficial and petty, but so are many of you, so why not highlight them. Because if the thought of not dying and/or killing someone because you were dumb enough to get behind the wheel hammered this New Year's doesn't stop you from actually doing it, maybe one of these reasons will.
5. It's a cliché.
I mean, seriously, driving drunk on New Year's Eve? It's like getting thrown out of an Irish bar on St. Patrick's Day or being the subject of an angry Taylor Swift song. It's dumb and it makes you look like Lindsay Lohan. Gross.

4. You got all dressed up and now look at you.
Some of you (ahem...ladies) spend a tremendous amount of time getting all dolled up for New Year's Eve. You buy clothes. You get your hair did. You do your nails. You get things waxed that probably shouldn't get waxed. If you go and drive drunk and get in an accident, your mugshot will look like a hotel hooker's. Don't look like a hotel hooker.
3. You'll wake someone from a drunken stupor with your call to get bailed out.
Friends don't let friends drive drunk. Friends also don't call other drunk friends at 4 a.m. asking for bail money. No one wins in this scenario.
2. Being hungover in jail sucks.
I, personally, have never had the unfortunate pleasure of puking into a metal toilet in the corner of the drunk tank, but I hear it is just lovely. You think a hangover headache is tough in your jammies with a bottle of aspirin and your comforter, try it in the same clothes you had on the night before, in a cold jail cell sitting on the concrete floor. Happy New Year!
1. You will look like an idiot.
If someone gets busted for a DUI on a Wednesday or even on just a random Saturday, it could be construed as a series of bad mistakes. If you do it on New Year's, the one night of the year when EVERYONE knows not to do it and there are free cab rides and METRO buses and the like available, you will look like a freaking moron. Try to at least look smart even if your behavior often belies it.

Stabat Mater
- Genre: Classical Artists
- Release Date: 2/19/2016
The Stabat Mater is Dvořák's most celebrated choral work. He began composing the piece in late 1875, but set it aside. Then, two tragedies befell him and he was plunged into an uncharacteristically melancholic mood. The deaths of his eleven-month-old daughter and three-year-old son compelled Dvořák to complete his masterpiece. Even though stricken with grief, Dvořák still could not resist writing simple, folk-like, melodies for his luminous Stabat Mater. On this performance, acclaimed conductor Mariss Jansons leads four superb soloists and the combined forces of the chorus and orchestra of the Bayerischen Rundfunk.

Sewing Cake: Hummingbird top - Green view
When Steph unveiled the Hummingbird pattern, at first I wasn't going to bite. I had made a peplum top that I don't love and I have a zillion skirt patterns, but the more I looked at it, the more I realized how much I loved all the details. So I jumped and ordered my pattern just days before the presale ended, which means I get to play along with the sewalong! Yay! Go, Violetear House!!
I started with the top. I was going to keep pace with the sewalong, really I was! But I got impatient to wear my top.
Although it wasn't something I initially noticed about this pattern, I really LOVE the neckline! It hugs the neck closely in back and along the shoulders, but has a demure, but sexy scoop neckline.
The cloverleaf peplum was one feature that really drew me to this pattern, and it totally lives up to the hype. It falls gracefully and is so flattering. Mitch generally dislikes full skirted styles on me - says they make me look hippy - but he says this top is quite slimming. I also love the way it falls in gentle scallops. I actually thought I'd chop the peplum even once I had it sewn on, but I really like it this way.
The pattern uses Steph's creative customized sizing system, and I was very pleased with the fit. This hot pink is actually my second version, but I changed nothing between the two. So nice to have it fit right out of the packet!
This one is my first version. I made it out of a mauve poly/nylon crepe knit from FabricMart. It's kind scratchy and I really just wanted it out of my stash, but the color is really pretty, so I'll likely wear it a bit despite the fabric imperfections.
I made this one on Saturday. My In-laws came and took the monkeys so that I could sew. I finished up the Hummingbird skirt (which I will show you tomorrow) and then whipped up this top. Since I already had the pattern ready, it took about an hour and a half from cut to finish. Not too shabby! I made this one out of a raspberry pink rayon/lycra jersey from Spandex World. It's very soft and the color is really amazing.
So, Humminbird green is definitely a win for me. It's comfortable, classy, sexy and easy to sew. And both versions look awesome with my brocade printed jeans!
Cake Patterns,

this might be bad commenting, but your bewbs look amazing in that top. also, those jeans are FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete Very nice! I'm most of the way through a Hummingbird Green top at the moment, and have been debating whether I like the shape or not, but after seeing your versions, I'm gonna persevere in the hope it looks at least a fraction as good as yours when I'm done!
Also, I love that hot pink colour on you, looks fantastic. :-)

Recently, I've posted two entries about exchange traded funds. One was a general overview of ETFs, the other discussed gold ETFs. Today, I want to dig into the topic area a little more deeply by looking at Proshares and a controversy that continues to rage in the ETF world.
Proshares is one of the five largest providers of ETFs in the United States. They currently offer 92 different exchange traded funds. But these aren't your run-of-the-mill funds. Proshares specializes in inverse and leveraged ETFs. These funds are assembled with the goal of outperforming the index to which they're tied and are often based on shorting.
Let's say you thought frozen concentrated orange juice was going to drop today. You could buy into one an short-based, or inverse, ETF. If frozen concentrated orange juice dipped 5%, you'd theoretically post a gain of approximately 10% (that's the leveraged part). And, of course, the Duke Brothers would be very upset.
Proshares is really focused on funds of these sorts and has marketed them fairly aggressively. Unfortunately, not everyone really thinks they've been entirely above-board in their efforts. That's where the controversy comes into play.
Gilman and Pastor, LLC, is a law firm that is pursuing a class action lawsuit against Proshares, alleging that the company is selling defective security product. The firm states:
ProShares touted its UltraShort ETFs including those listed above, as simple-to-execute investments which go up when markets go down. Although ProShares touts its securities and cloaks them with certainty due to allegedly reliable mathematical formulas, their math does not add up.
They go on to argue that the math Proshares is using is only good for a single day and that anyone holding these investments for more than one day can't expect the kind of leveraged performance Proshares touts. They maintain that Proshares marketing was deceptive and that the company failed to provide adequate information to investors about these "extremely confusing products." You can read the whole complaint here, and it does make an interesting and rather compelling case that leveraged ETFs should only be considered day trading tools.
Another law firm, Zamansky and Associates, is also hot on the heels of Proshares. They have a long list of complaints about the nature of the funds and the way those funds are marketed and allege (among other things) that Proshares:
* Failed to disclose the long term risks and inverse relationship between the funds' and indexes
* The negative consequences of market volatility
* The negative effects of the funds' daily adjustments
* That leverage ETF's are unsuitable investments
I've been close enough to law firms and those who populate them to approach some of these claims and the motivations behind class action lawsuits more than a little bit. I'm not saying that these firms are right or that they're wrong about Proshares. I just want to make it clear that I don't necessarily think they're pure-hearted white knights.
In any case, Proshares has weighed in on this controversy, too. In an open letter published at their website they discuss whether they're leveraged ETFs are really just quick-hitters for the day-trading crowd or a credible investment strategy. On a "facts and fallacies" page, they take on many of the other claims levied against them.
I don't know how the legal issues will play out, but I'd be willing to bet on my overall perspective regarding leveraged and inverse funds like those at the heart of the controversy. They're probably not a smart toy to put into the hands of novices. They're inherently more risky than traditional plays–anything that promises twice the potential return comes with twice the risk. It makes sense to do just what Proshares recommends, which is to check them as often as daily to see if you need to rebalance.

The office lady who told me I look like Owen Wilson (both of those conversations really happened) just walked by my desk.
She said, "Hello, Mr. Olsen."
I assume that she meant "Mr. Wilson" or "Owen Wilson," and not my neighbor "Mr. Olsen." She got it wrong the first time she tried to tell me too. She said "You look like that actor. What's his name? Wilson Owen."
I don't know. She's from Barbados or something.

Rock Star: Supernova threw the contestants a curve ball this week by setting up faux interviews to challenge and test their behavior. All passed without mishap with the exception of Dilana. Apparently, she felt it her position to provide critiques on her fellow rockers, pointing out whatever flaws she perceived they possessed making them not right for Supernova. Major trust damage was inflicted among her fellow mansion-mates, her standing with fans was rattled by her crass behavior. This episode smacked of Big Brother, or Survivor. Fortunately for Dilana, this unveiling of her double-dealing appeared in the elimination show, so she remains out of the bottom three. We'll see how this all wraps to affect her standings next week.
Controversy aside, Toby Rand picked this week to come out of his box and give cred to his title, "Thunder from Down Under". He rocked; he rolled all over his previous performances and emerged a contender for the hot spot. Toby scored the Supernova song, but still had to contend for a spot on the show in the elimination rounds. Magni roiled with angst and passion Tuesday night, but also hit bottom three. His elimination number was on fire; he needs to ignite that match next time. It was Patrice's time to go this week. She played one of her original songs, looked and sounded the best yet in the show, but the voters spoke and she goes home to Texas.
Magni the Magni-ficient! Tuesday night he performed Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" with passion, intensity, and power. The audience went wild. He's no poser; this man comes across as authentic. How he ended in the bottom three this week is completely beyond my comprehension. He performed Jimi Hendrix's "Fire" during the elimination round with his guitar and blew the roof off the studio. The Iceman was so hot, he may have made an impact on global warming. His performance stands as one of the very best in the show so far this season. There was no way he would go home after that display; he did not just play rhythm guitar, he played lick for lick with the house band guitarist, for one of the best parts of the song. His vocals are always amazing, the best in this show. I put him at number one and not just for the Tuesday night Nirvana tune; I'm including the Hendrix tune in the total package. The only thing holding him back is himself; he needs to deliver the fire he put into Wednesday night's "Fire". My advice to Magni: let that power unleash.
Ryan "Dark Horse" Star was able to do one of his original picks, thanks to Magni, who stood up for him. He did "Back of Your Car" with passion; Star also plays guitar passably well. He's definitely trying hard to win the lead singer spot. His songwriting skills aren't bad as his song was well received by Supernova and the studio audience. One criticism regarding his act: his throwing the guitar. Previously, during Magni's review by Supernova and Navarro, Tommy Lee expressed his thought that Magni should have done the song with guitar and pulled a Cobain (you, know smash the thing). Dave chimed in with a remark to the effect he wants to see something broken before the show was over. (Yeah, that's real excitement, Dave, smashing your Les Paul truly makes you a rawk star.) So to comply, when Ryan was at a particularly energetic point in the song, he slid the guitar away from him. Yes, slid. No breakage there, and probably not a lot of damage to the guitar. But hey, they wanted to see a guitar fly so Ryan had to make it happen for them. Advice to Ryan: don't become their puppet or performing monkey, it will become obvious and hurt you in the long haul.
Toby Rand gave credibility to his moniker, "Thunder from Down Under", he brought it loud and proud this week. He performed Eric Clapton's famous song, "Layla," and gave it a modernized twist that worked. An absolutely brilliant delivery, he took a well-known classic that could have been a disaster and made it his own in style and tone. I'd like to hear Mr. Rand record that one. My only critique was for the Chippendale-esque portion of the performance – somebody needed to tuck a bill in the top of his pants. He scored the Supernova song of the week with the band and made me completely forget Dilana's act with the boys last week. Toby's "Wow" factor is way up now, he's turning it on when it really counts. More of this and we won't see him in the bottom three again.
Storm took the song nobody wanted again. This week, it was Steve Tyler's "Crying". I thought she performed the song well; it is most likely one of the more difficult songs offered to the contestants so far. Dave commented this performance was one thousand times better than last week's and I agree. She is truly a talented singer but her performances come across as a choreographed display, not a real passionate, heartfelt delivery of a song.
Lukas Rossi did Lukas Rossi. Let me explain. His delivery of the Killers' "All These Things That I Have Done" was energetic – he left no inch uncovered on the stage: swirling, twirling and shaking it while singing. He paused briefly to check his hair in the mirror-finished guitar, really funny. Gilby Clark doesn't seem as enamored of Lukas' antics and called him on not facing or delivering the song toward them. Lukas plays to the audience and to and with the house band. I don't think he should have to spaz dance over in front of Clark and the guys and sing like a performing monkey begging for their attention. Downside, if he alienates one or more of the band, he will not stand a chance as their front man. I think Lukas has too much of an independent nature, too much pride to suck up to Gilby for the job as lead singer. I find the trait admirable but it could cost him. I think he needs to change it up for next week. Even though he has a huge fan base, the other contestants are upping the ante.
Dilana's ranking sinks like a stone this week for multiple reasons and I will most likely make many fans angry with what I have to say. First, her song this week, "Every Breath You Take", the overall delivery was just plain bad. The beginning with "Everybody breathe" was lame, she hit flats, she quavered, her dance moves more on the choreographed side, but not rehearsed enough. The kicker was she inserted her own name into the song. Like subliminal messaging, "Dilana, Dilana, Dilana, Dilana", she chanted in place of "I'll be watching you". She ended it with demonic lip licking, while gazing upward through three-inch long lashes. Trite. Remove the rose-colored glasses folks, Dilana, Dilana, Dilana, Dilana went down, down, down this week. I'll be watching to see how she constructs damage control back at the mansion. In faux interviews established to check how the contestants will handle the press, she failed miserably, dishing dirt on every one of her fellow housemates. Of course, this makes good TV, and ratings should be up next week at her expense.
Patrice picked "Original Song", and performed "Beautiful Thing". By far the best performance she's produced in the show. She was very comfortable with her guitar and she looked great. It was inevitable that she go this week after hitting bottom three four times now. Supernova seemed genuinely sad to see her go.

Ryan Anderson is a humorist and writer with a degree in journalism and philosophy that just sits in a box in his attic.
You can read more of his musings here: http://www.twitter.com/kolchak
Today (May 7) celebrities mourned the loss of Hollywood effects legend Ray Harryhausen, celebrated teachers, and obsessed over a murder trial.
Mila Kunis has been recognized by FHM magazine as the world's sexiest lady, beating out a slew of other lovely women for the title.
No longer content with lacy bra shots, Amanda Bynes upped the ante and posted topless photos to her Twitter feed on May 1 before getting caught up in some major Twitter drama with Jenny McCarthy and a questionable publicist.
On April 30, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their five-year wedding anniversary by renewing their vows, just like they did last year (apparently it's super hard to remember them otherwise).
Today (May 2), the celebrities mingled a bit and diagnosed a Twitter hack. And one in particular weirded us out.
When Reese Witherspoon was nabbed for disorderly conduct after getting mouthy with a cop during husband Jim Toth's DUI arrest, there was lots of talk about what, exactly, she told the arresting officer.
Behold! The dash cam tape is here!
When Martha Stewart was on the 'Today' show on Monday, April 29, she revealed that she'd created a Match.com account -- because the only man in her life right now is Snoop Lion.
Now the details of the profile have emerged, and they're pretty much exactly what you'd expect.
Christina Sander, a Danish tourist, recently visited Boston. Meanwhile, Kevin Spacey, renowned 'House of Cards' actor, was taking a jog in the city -- and the result of the two crossing paths has gone viral.
Katie Couric's talk show 'Katie' is still on the air, gaining more traction than Anderson Cooper's sadly canceled daytime effort.
So to celebrate her 100th episode, Katie had a 'Friday Happy Hour' episode on Feb. 22, on which Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa appeared. But what wound up on the air was not the entirety of the interview.
Justin Timberlake dropped by Ellen Degeneres' talk show on Thursday, April 25, and had nothing but good things to say about his marriage to bombshell Jessica Biel.
Country music star Billy Currington was indicted in Chatham County, Ga. this afternoon (April 24) on charges of making terroristic threats and "abuse of an elderly person," which is pretty much the worst kind of abuse ever.
Today in celebrity tweets, Lisa Lampanelli has some suggestions for Reese Witherspoon's PR team, Yoko Ono had a super boring dream, James Deen warns about rogue animals, Tony Robbins spits platitudes and Lena Dunham keeps her finger on the pulse of the music scene.


text: Dear Readers,The Arizona pendejas have emboldened hundreds of Know-Nothings in the past week to boast to the Mexican that they're not racist if they support SB 1070 because, according to them, they believe in the law and they have no problems with immigrants as long as they're legal. Nosotros los buenos know that argument is almost always demonstrably false due to culture, and know that Americans were bashing swarthy Sicilians even after the immigration officer at Ellis Island signed them through and shortened their name from Fabruzzo to Faber.But I feel magnanimous this week. Maybe it's the pre–Fourth of July Herradura before me, but I'll indulge the anti-racist protestations of Know-Nothings with a test. If—with apologies to Rudyard Kipling—If you can keep your cabeza when all about youIs banda and mariachi blaring near you;If you can see six Mexi kids and their pregnant mom in front of you,But make allowance for their tough times too;If you can wait in the emergency room and not be tired by waiting,Or, being lied to about a rooster in the backyard, not report to Animal Control those lies,Or, being hated by Mexican soccer fans, not give way to hating,And yet don't look too good in a sombrero, nor talk like Glenn Beck, who isn't too wise;If you can dream of Ozzie and Harriet's America—and not make sueños your master;If you can think about cars parked on front lawns—and not make thoughts your aim,If you can meet with an Aztlanista and an Arizonan disasterAnd treat those two babosos just the same:If you can bear to hear the truth about Mexican assimilation others have spokenTwisted no longer by pendejos to make a trap for fools,Or watch our border, broken,And stoop and build it up with humane tools;If you can pool your lifetime winningsAnd risk it on a business in a barrio where soccer balls get a toss,And lose, and start again at your beginningsAnd never blame illegals about your loss;If you can force your heart and nervios and sinewTo not sell your home long after your white neighbors are gone,And so hold on when the only English speaker is youExcept for those pochos that say to usted: "Hold pinche on";If you can talk with Mexican crowds and keep your virtue,Or walk with ICE—nor lose the ability to allow a DREAM Act student's story to touch;If neither George Lopez nor "Press one for English, two for Spanish" can hurt you;If truly bigoted relatives count with you, but none too much;If your local pool gets disturbed every minuteWith 60 Mexicans in jeans—and you don't make them run—You're not a racist and truly about laws,And—which is more—you're a chingón, cabrónemail@example.com

Over the last two months you have been hammered with USB 3.0 articles and that isn't going to change anytime soon. Last year GIGABYTE and ASUS worked very hard to integrate USB 3.0 into nearly all of their motherboards and now the second half of the equation is bearing fruit. Just about everyone, and I do mean everyone, is hitting the ground running with USB 3.0 storage products. We've seen small, large, medium sized and even micro sized USB 3.0 storage drives. Some of these products sell with drives and others are just enclosures, but one thing is for sure, more are on the way.
Those looking at USB 3.0 enclosures are doing so for one reason, speed. USB 3.0 is a 5Gbps interface and so far we've seen up to 240MB/s being transferred over a single cable. To be able to achieve high levels of performance you need a high performance target and it doesn't get any faster for storage than solid state.
Kingston's HyperX MAX 3.0 is a solid state drive, the same one used in the new V+100 models. The MAX 3.0 and V+100 use the same flash and more importantly the same Toshiba T6UG1XBG controller. This is our first run with this controller, but we've heard a lot of positive things about its ability to withstand solid state fragmentation. Since TRIM commands currently are not supported with any USB interface, this is an area of great importance for any true SSD being used with USB 3.0.
We've spent a lot of time with USB 3.0 storage and USB 3.0 solid state drives. Today we will take a look at Kingston's new HyperX MAX 3.0 that is just starting production (our drive didn't even have a serial number) and compare its performance to a few other high end USB 3.0 products.
Specifications, Pricing and Availability
Being a preview product that isn't even mentioned on Kingston's website, we don't have a list of official specifications today. Kingston has been very quiet on the pricing details as well, but we do know the MAX 3.0 will be offered in 64 (our sample), 128 and 256GB capacities.
The MAX 3.0 consists of three main parts. First there is the all-aluminum enclosure that is engineered very well, something that we will go into detail on later in this article. The second piece to the MAX 3.0 is the solid state drive. As we mentioned, the MAX 3.0 uses the same drive configuration as the new V+100 solid state drive that is already on sale.
The third piece is a SATA 3G to USB 3.0 bridge. We've seen this same bridge in countless products over the last couple of months.

The coexistence of undernutrition (low birth weight, poor growth) alongside overnutrition (mainly obesity) is a phenomenon afflicting many countries as their economies develop and food availability increases. The focus of the book this phenomenon, otherwise known as the 'nutrition transition', which becoming increasingly prevalent in many emerging nations.
The nutrition transition relates to broad patterns of diet, activity and body composition that have defined our nutritional status in various stages of history. The world is rapidly shifting from a dietary period in which the higher income countries were dominated by patterns of nutrition-related non-communicable diseases (NR-NCDs; while the lower and middle world were dominated by receding famine) to one in which the world is increasingly being dominated by NR-NCDs. Dietary changes appear to be shifting universally toward a diet dominated by higher intakes of caloric sweeteners, animal source foods, and edible oils. Activity patterns at work, leisure, travel, and in the home are equally shifting rapidly toward reduced energy expenditure. Largescale declines in food prices (e.g., beef prices), increased access to supermarkets, and urbanization of urban and rural areas are key underlying factors.

Surfing is one of those sports infused with a mysterious aura. A cult sport. One with defined traditions and cultural connotations. Michael Fordham's The Book of Surfing puts all that into perspective. With sections on the roll of surfing in film and art, surfing legends, cultural constructions and generally riding a board, it's a pretty complete effort. Those of you who haven't been on the waves, but fell for Riding Giants (or if you're older Endless Summer) will surely get great pleasure from the books pages. (via It's Nice That).
Check out some page shots after the jump.

First ever Christmas Crawl hopes to draw people downtown
Wichita Falls Downtown Development is using clever ways to attract people to downtown Wichita Falls.
They held the zombie crawl in October and now, they're using the Christmas season to lure locals and tourists.
The first Christmas Crawl was held on Thursday evening.
The event's goal was to support local businesses.
Downtown Development member Dusty Potter estimates around 700 to 1,000 came out.
The organization hopes activities like this one will help make downtown Wichita Falls thrive.
Business owners like Ricci Amador say activities like the Christmas Crawl help get people out and about downtown.
"It's finally starting to really pick up a little bit. I know with all the events that we've been holding down here, it's really gotten the interest of people that, 'Hey, downtown is a really cool spot to be at' so it is definitely picking up for us," Amador says.
Amador says the community would be surprised to see how much there really is to do.
"Come down, there's lots of great shops. There's great people. All the shop owners down here are amazing people... and we just want people to come down and just experience it. It's really fun," Amador exclaims.
Potter says about 25 retailers and restaurants participated in the crawl.
He says the holiday season is the perfect time to support local businesses.
"What we have down here are products and services that you can't get anywhere else in town," Potter says. "It's retailers that are truly local and every dollar that you spend is going back into your local community."
Wichita Falls residents like Nita Stevens say events like the Christmas Crawl help get her and her friends downtown to explore everything downtown has to offer.
Stevens says, "I think that's a good thing to get people out to come out to something like this. They need to have more activities like this. I think that would help the downtown area."
It's help that can only come if the community gets involved.
Potter says, "Oh absolutely, we're planning on this being an annual event every year and we're really excited about it.
Stevens agrees, "Oh definitely, I think it's a good place to be. I love the old parts of downtown. I like the building and just the area. I like it a lot."
"Just help support the local businesses. Help us little guys because we're really trying to do something different down here," Amador says.
We want to know what you think about our downtown.
What's your favorite thing to do.

text: It's a wonder there aren't more man-eater-based horror movies out there. Similar to vampires, they can sex up a scenario, but, unlike vampires, they aren't done to death. In fact, David Bruckner's portion of V/H/S is an excellent candidate for expansion. First off, Bruckner actually manages to nail a prime requirement of the found-footage format – the need for a good reason for characters to be filming. A group of guys hoping to make an amateur porno with a hidden camera? Makes sense. But then we get Lily, a pretty yet oddball target. The idea of the guys letting a seemingly socially awkward girl tag along is totally innocent and reasonable, but what follows most certainly is not.

Stars of constellations Orion and Taurus above the rim of Meteor Crater in the northern Arizona. Scientifically known as Barringer Carter it is one of the most recognized meteorite impact craters on the Earth. It is about 1200 m in diameter, some 170 m deep, and is surrounded by a rim that rises 45 m above the surrounding plains. The crater was created about 50,000 years ago by a nickel-iron meteorite about 50 meters across. Wally Pacholka/Astropics.com

text: TiVo Getting Switched Video Privileges For More Channels via CableCARDChristopher Mascari11/26/07 8:20pmFiled to: TiVoCableNCTASDVSwitched Digital Videoswitched video10EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink TiVo and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association (NCTA) have announced a new external adapter that will bring switched video capabilities to CableCARD devices, such as series 3 TiVos. Due in the second quarter of 2008, this adapter will finally put good use to that spare USB connector found on new TiVos. This might not sound that exciting, but it actually benefits the consumer more than you think. Advertisement Because CableCARD devices only have the ability to receive information from the cable company, this new adapter will give devices the ability to send information back. This plays a major role in getting switched video used by the masses. Switched video, more specifically switched digital video (SDV), is a way for cable companies to only feed you the channels you are watching at a single time, which in turn allows for less use of bandwidth. This lowered bandwidth consumption means the cable company can then provide a greater selection of channels, since the the only bandwidth that will be used is for the channel that is currently being watched.So, this means cable companies will be able to provide a greater selection of channels, not to mention HD content, to their customers, and since TiVo is involved in this adapter, it will make TiVo users the first with the ability to watch this new content, that other CableCARD set-top boxes can not.

Oh Might and Magic brand, how we've missed you! We really hoped that this wouldn't be the swan song for your venerable RPG series and Ubisoft didn't disappoint. The company has just announced Might and Magic Clash of Heroes, coming to DS this August.
Now, we'll admit that we weren't necessarily hoping for a puzzle RPG developed by Capybara Games (you know, of Critter Crunch fame?). But at least there's two-player peer-versus-peer mode, so that's something, right?

Jetting There with Savoir Faire
As thoughts this week lead to flying this Friday, I am always drawn to what is commonly known as one of the "golden ages" of travel, that of the early 60's. Jet travel by Boeing airliner or jets from other manufacturers on both sides of the Atlantic was capturing the public's imagination. Images of exotic locations speed and luxury tantalised the travelling public. It was also the heyday of the graphic artist.
However, when it comes to the manufacture and marketing of new jets it seems that the Europeans had a bit more Savoir Faire and imagination when naming their latest products. Whereas the Americans were sticking to a nomenclature based on a numerical system such as Boeing 707 and DC8 the Europeans were firing up the public's imaginations with names such as Comet, Viscount and Trident.
One incredibly stylish offering from the Europeans was Sud Aviation SE 210 Caravelle, which entered service with mainly European Airlines in the late 50's. The name was devised from a highly maneuverable sailing ship called a Caravel developed in the 15th century by the Portuguese. Radical in its design, the Caravelle established the aft-mounted-engine, clean-wing design that which portrayed a futuristic elegance. Also another unique feature was that passengers could also board the aircraft via a set of air stairs that descended from the tail of the aircraft. A futuristic elegance was portrayed with the whole design.
Ok, technicalities aside, Airlines took advantage of this new aircraft and advertised the use of it heavily. Not only did the public have a choice of which airline it would travel with, but also by a choice of aircraft. By no means the fastest or the biggest, it was however one of the most stylish!
Graphic artists of the era did a wonderful job in illustrating this. Stylistic representations of the aircraft both humorous and serious adorned travel agent walls and magazine pages.
Personally I think I would rather fly by Caravelle instead of an A380 which really does not do much for the imagination.

Sharpie markers may not be soluble in water, but they are soluble in rubbing alcohol. Use this property to your benefit to create some wearable art (and science)!
Place a dish pan or plastic shoe box inside a plain white shirt. Pull the shirt taut and rubberband it in place.
Use the markers to make a ring of dots where you want the pinwheel to appear.
Using a dropper, drop rubbing alcohol into the middle of the ring.
The alcohol will move outward, through capillary action, and carry the ink with it.
If the ink is made of a mixture of colors, you will see the colors separate. If it's made from a pure color, you will simply see the color radiate outward.
Move the shirt on the box and make another pinwheel.
Get creative...
...try making your ring of dots with a variety of colors
...what happens if you make your dots in a shape other than a circle?
...what if you start with one central dot?

Some of you may know about this already, but a blogger friend of mine is contemplating suicide, having been rejected by her church, she is despondent. She has made a statement that she will kill herself today. Please pray very much for her in this time crisis. Thank you!
14 comments:
Please let her know that though the church might have rejected her, God has not rejected her. No matter how messed up or challenged we are, God does not reject us. I pray for her today, and also for the situation that caused the rift with the church, that all may be resolved.
I will offer Divine Mercy chaplet today at the Hour of Mercy for this individual and the situation.Jesus I Trust in You!!
God Bless.. Sara

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Talk about boom and busts. Investment clubs, which have gone from being a social phenomenon with more than 200,000 members in the mid-90s to around 6,000 today, seem to follow the fortunes of the stock market. Two crashes and recessions in this century have really hurt their membership.
But now investment clubs make more sense than ever and are coming back. They are not only great ways to invest, you can do it in a social setting and have fun.
My family investment club was a way for my wife, brother-in-law and a close friend to discuss picking stocks and reinvesting dividends. Although we had to liquidate the club to pay for medical bills, it made the difference between having money in an emergency and dipping into my 401(k), which we never had to do.
I recently spoke before the national conference of Better Investing, the non-profit education group that supports investment clubs. Around since 1951, it provides training, support and classes for those who want to learn about long-term stock investing. Although I was talking about my book Keynes Way to Wealth, I discovered some interesting things about the investment club movement since I first began addressing these groups in the mid 1990s all over the U.S.
* You're always the right age for investment clubbing. While most of the investment club audiences I've addressed over the years are in their seventh decade and beyond, it's a perfect activity for anyone from a pre-teen to a retiree. When I was signing books at the Better Investing conference, a 93-year-old man, who had just lost his wife of more than 60 years, said he was still investing!
You learn how to pick stocks that grow over time and pay dividends. You generally don't try to time the market and buy shares throughout the year using "dollar-cost averaging." So you're rarely buying at the absolute top and getting more shares when they drop in price.
* A Social Setting Will Keep You on Track. You can form a club of one or include just your family or neighbors. You all make a monthly contribution, keep records and make purchases together.
The social aspect balances out the casino mentality of some investors and tempers it with the discipline of running the numbers on a company's balance sheet and projecting future growth.
* You Can Start Small and Grow Big. One of the oldest investment clubs -- the Mutual Investment Club of Detroit -- started in 1940 and grew to more than $6 million in assets. I knew some of the original members, many of whom founded the National Association of Investors Corp. -- the forerunner to Better Investing.
Many of the Detroit club members were able to tap their club holdings to pay for any number of things from retirement to college educations. They were able to withdraw some $4 million.
Every club starts out small. Our family club started by contributing $50 per member on a monthly basis. So anyone can start up a club. It keeps you saving and investing over long periods of time.
* The Process is . Instead of taking a flyer on a company or pursuing a gut feeling, you are examining things like earnings per share growth, profits, sales and dividend payments. You put it all on a simple chart that tells you if a stock is likely to go up or down. It's really boiled down stock analysis.
If you want to get away from the roulette wheel of picking companies based on instinct -- which rarely pays off -- investment clubs are the way to learn how professionals do it.
If you want to start a club, consult the many publications and software packages offered through Better Investing, which also can send you a free weekly newsletter. Another good resource is ICLUBCentral, which offers support and software (also a part of Better Investing). If you want to get your feet wet and want to know the basics about organizing a club, you can also check out my Investment Club Book.
At the very least, if you're only investing through a 401(k) or want to learn more about stock investing, give an investment club a try. It's hard to invest profitably by yourself. Doing it in a group will give you a sense of camaraderie and focus that you can't find on your own.

For God's sake, try an editor
I knew you were no writer before the end of the opening paragraph and it did not improve.
Please tell me exactly what an "uncomfortably place" might be? Or is it a where?
When one tries to form actual words, doesn't "Who" qualify as one? What exactly is an actual word?

Overweight, Yet God Is Still Sovereign
I sometimes have a hard time understanding the sovereignty of God in tandem with the responsibility of Man. The Bible is clear that God is sovereign over all things, but equally clear that man is responsible for his own actions. I know that both can be true at the same time, but the inter-workings of … Continue reading

NBA's Rise In Popularity This Season Hasn't Yet Translated To Increased Profits
With NBA Deputy Commissioner & COO Adam Silver during All-Star Weekend saying the league "will not make money this year," TRUE HOOP's Henry Abbott asked, "How can the league be so shockingly popular this season, and not yet profiting?" The league's books are "not public, and thus there is not an independent answer." The explanation from the league is that the "cuts in player costs roughly match the losses from last year." But this year the league said that there were "an additional $200 million in losses related to the lockout, for instance due to lost ticket revenue and corporate sponsorships that didn't happen." Abbott wrote, "More importantly, popularity only equals big changes in revenue over years." The "most obvious way that happens is with more lucrative national TV deals, but the old deals are still in place for two more years." High TV ratings have "not meant new TV revenues for the league," and corporate sponsorships "similarly take time to develop" (ESPN.com, 2/25).
INJURIES ABOUND: In New Orleans, John Reid noted some coaches have "shortened their shootarounds and eliminated some practices altogether" as they are "struggling to keep players off the injury list." Still, the injuries "continue to pile up." The Bulls were "forced to go five games without" G Derrick Rose, who injured his back. Knicks F Carmelo Anthony "missed seven games with a strained right groin," and Clippers G Chris Paul "returned last week after missing five games with a strained hamstring." Among the 24 players selected to play in Sunday night's All-Star Game at the Amway Center, "11 were sidelined with injuries at some point during the first half of the season." Hornets Coach Monty Williams said, "I just think guys exhaled when the union disbanded during the lockout and guys figured we wouldn't play until January. But I think it caught a lot of guys off guard, and I think that's why you see so many hamstrings, sore foot and back issues. Guys were not in shape'' (New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE, 2/27). -
Hockey Canada, USA Hockey Weighing Rules To Curb Fighting In Many Non-Pro Leagues
USA Hockey and Hockey Canada "are seriously considering rules that would effectively end fighting in nonprofessional leagues as soon as next season," according to a front-page piece by John Branch of the N.Y. TIMES. Even the "three top junior leagues in Canada, major fight-friendly feeder systems to the NHL, are considering immediate ways to make fighting a rarity, not an expectation." The increased recognition of the "long-term dangers of brain trauma, across all sports, has forced hockey's leaders to consider ways to reduce blows to the head." Most leaders believe that "rules to deter fighting will be significantly stiffened during organization-wide meetings this summer." Hockey Canada President & CEO Bob Nicholson said, "The official stance from Hockey Canada is that we want to get rid of fighting as quickly as we can." For decades, "debates centered on whether hockey could survive without fighting." But lately the talk is "about how long the sport can live with fighting." USA Hockey's Junior Council in January "discussed emergency legislation that would combat fighting with much harsher penalties, starting as early as next fall." The council "may propose a system like that used in the NCAA, where players are immediately ejected for fighting and progressive suspensions are doled out for subsequent bouts." Proposed changes would be "subject to the vote of USA Hockey's board of directors, which could come in June." Branch notes the NHL and most pro minor leagues in North America "have shown little appetite for altering rules to reduce fights" (N.Y. TIMES, 2/28).

"Hell is other people" – something London commuters may be forgiven for muttering to themselves on their daily Tube journeys. It is certainly not a phrase they would expect to hear the driver announce, not without feeling a slight pinch of panic.
Yet these words, from the Parisian existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, are part of a book of sayings given to London Underground staff, who are being encouraged to dispense them over the Tannoy to try to spread some joy and intellectual inspiration.
At the moment these pearls of wisdom are only being communicated to the lucky passengers on the long and winding Piccadilly line. So, to ensure travellers on the rest of the network did not miss out, we decided to spread the word on the Circle line – one of London's most-hated Tubes because of its infrequent service and frequent signal failures.
Nearing rush hour on a hot and sweaty day, I try out one of the Gandhi quotes chosen by Transport for London (TfL) to create a relaxed and soothing atmosphere. "There is more to life than increasing its speed," I announce loudly to my fellow commuters, only to be met with endless death stares mixed up with the odd why-did-I-have-to-choose-the-carriage-with-the-crazy-person sighs.
Perhaps the idea of being told to slow down when stuck on a packed and clammy Tube does not sit well with everyone. "I think it's a ridiculous idea and a waste of money," moaned Jo Byrne, 37, a payroll officer from Romford, Essex. "Surely it's not safe either, the Tube driver should be concentrating on driving the train rather than reciting some philosophical quotes."
Others seemed to love the idea of having their minds expanded by the wisdom of Einstein and Dostoevsky. "I think it's great as long as they don't do it too often, because then it risks becoming a bit annoying," said Anna Waterer, 34, an architect from Putney.
"I always like it when Tube drivers say something spontaneous, it brightens up your day a bit. Commuting can be such a solitary experience so when you share a laugh with a stranger because of an announcement, it takes your mind off the slightly absurd situation you face when you are on a packed train deep underground."
The quotes are collected in a passport-sized pamphlet, What is the city but the people? (from Shakespeare) that has been handed to Tube drivers and platform staff on the Underground. The project is the brainchild of the Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller, who said he was motivated by annoyance at the recorded announcements that bombard Tube passengers, such as "mind the gap" and "stand clear of the closing doors".
His original idea, a day with no announcements, was rejected by Tube bosses, "so I came up with the idea of giving staff a collection of quotes and the idea grew from there".
"I often wish announcements were more personal and reflected the realities and absurdities of living and working in a big city," Deller said. "The travelling public enjoys some humour and unexpected insight during their journey."
Drivers who agreed to take part were given tips on delivery by the stand-up comedian Arthur Smith. Piccadilly line driver Susy Wells told the BBC that the sayings helped liven up a job that "can be a little bit monotonous at times". TfL has asked passengers who hear the announcements to send in their reactions by email.
Train of thought: TfL's philosophy quotes
Trouble will rain on those who are already wet – Anon
Never criticise a man until you have walked a mile in his moccasins – Native American proverb
Those who lose dreaming are lost – Aboriginal proverb
It is no longer the time of day for making plans, but for having them – Greek proverb

Here is a recipe for recreational cooking: take a cookbook, find the recipe you want, note down the ingredients, go to the shops and buy what you need, return to your kitchen and cook what you have bought, serve on a plate, eat. Use your imagination, make your own mistakes, learn from them. Why let a grinning, swilling TV cook take away the mystery and the enjoyment? You might as well head for the chiller department in M&S and heat and serve. Stand the heat, get into the kitchen.

Today's TV chefs are an anomaly. Working women have little time or energy for cooking, and serve pre-cooked food from supermarkets. Cookery programmes should concentrate on helping them, or on haute cuisine as entertainment.
Delia Smith clones should be sought - honest and helpful. Why not have a series on dishes that cannot be pre-cooked - a souffle, simple when explained, or things to do with batter, or Irish soda bread - a lifeline when shops are shut.
For cooking buffs, a series on master dishes by experts would be inspiring and might preserve the art of creative cooking.

What daytime television viewers need - almost by definition, I would suggest, since an addiction to that kind of programming suggests deficiencies in some key areas - is an education in the basic principles of the kitchen. A short course in domestic science, with lessons on why a souffle rises, how to recognise fresh produce, would be infinitely more valuable than a teasing invitation to spend vast sums on exotic ingredients for frou- frou dishes made to impress the neighbours.

My grandson's eyes are so deeply brown, I feel I could just fall into them. He's the first one in my family with brown eyes.
Clever title. We're all blue-eyed, too, but brown eyes are so intriguing. I like how you've played up your chocolate theme.
Now I have to go find some chocolate to eat! /> Your mask that highlights his eyes really draws attention exactly where you want it. Interesting page!
Love the alphas. Great page.
They are beautiful eyes and I really like your title in the chocolate kisses.
