All-Rules Mail Bundle: The shortcut to your Mail.app rules
Have you ever wanted to automate some message sorting tasks in Apple's Mail application after you have read a message? I, for example, use one archive folder per account and move all messages into that folder after I've read them. The application's rule system is perfectly suited for that task, unfortunately there is no way to activate certain rules by pressing a keyboard shortcut. That's where this bundle comes into play.
The All-Rules Mail Bundle acts as a plugin for Apple's Mail application and serves just one specific purpose. It provides an additional menu item located under "Message -> Apply All Rules" which applies all active rules to the currently selected messages while ignoring any present "Stop evaluating rules" action.
Where to get the bundle
The source of the bundle is available at GitHub as a standard Xcode project. Feel free to adapt it to your needs if necessary. I will also provide a precompiled binary for those of you who just want to use it out of the box.
- Source: https://github.com/mstarzinger/all-rules
- Binary: https://github.com/downloads/mstarzinger/all-rules/AllRules-0.1.zip
Note that I've developed and tested the thing on my only Mac machine, which clearly is an inadequate test coverage. As always I would be happy about any response. So far the bundle is known to run in the following environment, which is the most recent one at the time of writing.
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6
- Mail Application 4.4
- Message Framework 4.4
How it is implemented
First of all, let me emphasis that this is the first time I actually did some Objective-C coding. But I really liked the feel of it. I was really surprised about the power of the Objective-C runtime. You can do lots of nasty stuff at runtime like changing class hierarchies, adding methods to classes, changing method implementations and so on.
I used one technique known as method swizzling in the bundle, which lets you switch the existing implementation of a method with your own replacement at runtime. This enabled me to override the original
shouldStopEvaluatingRules implementation of the
MessageRule class inside the Message framework.
Unfortunately most of the APIs of the Mail application and the Message framework are private, so I expect my bundle to break sometime in the future. But the API can be easily reverse engineered with the class-dump utility which generates header files out of Objective-C binaries.
To prevent bundles from silently breaking, each bundle includes a list of the exact versions of Message frameworks and Mail applications it is compatible with. I found an article that explains how to fix unsupported plugins after upgrading Mail.app without recompiling them. So if you have different versions running on your machine that are compatible as well, let me know about them.
And last but not least I want to mention one article which helped me a lot in figuring out all those tiny details and really did it's job in demystifying Mail.app plugins on Leopard for me.
Related bundles
The same (and more) could be done with Indev's Mail Act-On bundle, unfortunately that bundle is sold under a commercial license. With my bundle I cloned the essential feature which was indispensable for my personal use.

Speculative Gold, Silver Bets Up Again Last Week
A week after pushing bullish gold bets to a six-month high, speculative traders grew more bullish still on Comex-traded gold and silver futures.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission data Friday showed those traders raised their net long gold positions by 3%. Meanwhile, the same measure for silver jumped 11%. Figures are for the week ending Oct. 2. Platinum and palladium also saw increases.
Gold futures rose for the sixth week in seven, ending last week with a 0.4% five-day gain. The action features a fresh 2012 settle high at $1794.10. Silver was flat on the week after a 1.5% Friday decline. The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU) matched the futures markets' 0.4% weekly rise while the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) was flat. All fund quotes are given on a market-price basis.
The closed-end funds Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) and the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) have also been on the rise. Their premiums of 3% and 4.9%, respectively, are below the 52-week average, according to CEF Connect.

Open files instead of download
When I click on a file (say, an excel or a pdf) in the warehouse, I'd like it to be opened directly in the Warehouse, similar to how it is in google docs.
With proper setup of plugins in browsers, a similar effect can be achieved (browsers download and open inside the browser). But many some will not be set up properly; the NEEShub could make the behavior uniform.
You'd need to use public domain applications such as OpenOffice, not Microsoft Office.

Benefits of Being Tobacco-free
Here are some benefits you can enjoy by being tobacco-free!
- Whiter teeth and fresher breath
- Healthier skin with more elasticity
- Better sense of smell and taste
- More energy
- Reduced stress levels
- Half the risk of stroke than smokers
- Thirty percent greater lung capacity than smokers
- Ten times less likely to develop Peripheral Artery Disease
This month, it's time to kick the habit for good. Take the opportunity to quit tobacco on November 21 during the 38th Annual Great American Smokeout, and you can enjoy a longer, healthier life! The annual Great American Smokeout serves as a platform to encourage smokers to quit for at least one day or kick the habit for good.
If you use tobacco and decide it's time to quit, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi can help! Our Be Tobacco-free program provides covered members with 90 days of medication therapy, including support from the Tobacco Quitline, visits with a "be smoke-free" Network Provider and medication and/or nicotine replacement therapy. Learn more about the Be Tobacco-free program for individuals and tips on quitting.
Quitting tobacco can reduce your risk for cancer, cardiovascular disease and stroke. It is the most preventable cause of disease and early death in the U.S., and Mississippi has one of the highest smoking rates in the country. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 22.7 percent of the population in Mississippi (more than 493,000 people) are current smokers. However, many of those have attempted to quit for at least one day over the past year. While quitting smoking and tobacco use can be difficult, there are many resources available to help make it easier and increase your chance of success. Some immediate benefits include better smelling breath, whiter teeth, improved taste and better sense of smell.
Businesses can also benefit from implementing a tobacco-free workplace. Non-smokers can benefit from a healthier work environment and it may even encourage smokers to cut back or quit. Healthier employees are more productive, miss less work and have lower healthcare costs. Learn more about creating a tobacco-free workplace on our website.
Quitting smoking and tobacco use is one of the most important decisions you can make for yourself and your family.

A server-side authentication plugin is available that authenticates clients that connect from the local host through the Unix socket file.
The source code for this plugin can be examined as a relatively simple example demonstrating how to write a loadable authentication plugin.
The following table shows the plugin and library file names. The
file name suffix might differ on your system. The file location
is the directory named by the
plugin_dir system variable. For
installation information, see
Section 5.8, "Pluggable Authentication".
Table 7.8 MySQL Socket Peer-Credential Authentication Plugin
|Server-side plugin name
|Client-side plugin name
|None, see discussion
|Library file name
auth_socket authentication plugin
authenticates clients that connect from the local host through
the Unix socket file. The plugin uses the
SO_PEERCRED socket option to obtain
information about the user running the client program. Thus, the
plugin can be built only on systems that support the
SO_PEERCRED option, such as Linux.
The plugin checks whether the socket user name matches the MySQL
user name specified by the client program to the server. As of
MySQL 5.7.6, if the names do not match, the plugin also checks
whether the socket user name matches the name specified in the
authentication_string column of the
mysql.user table row. If a match is found,
the plugin permits the connection.
Suppose that a MySQL account is created for a user named
valerie who is to be authenticated by the
auth_socket plugin for connections from the
local host through the socket file:
CREATE USER 'valerie'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH auth_socket;
If a user on the local host with a login name of
stefanie invokes mysql
with the option
--user=valerie to connect
through the socket file, the server uses
auth_socket to authenticate the client. The
plugin determines that the
--user option value
valerie) differs from the client user's name
stephanie) and refuses the connection. If a
user named
valerie tries the same thing, the
plugin finds that the user name and the MySQL user name are both
valerie and permits the connection. However,
the plugin refuses the connection even for
valerie if the connection is made using a
different protocol, such as TCP/IP.
For general information about pluggable authentication in MySQL, see Section 5.8, "Pluggable Authentication".

We're big on digestive care at ReNew Life, and what a lot of people don't realize is that your liver is connected to the digestive system in a very important way. We don't necessarily think of the liver as a digestive organ but it's essential to digestion as well as detoxification.
- The liver filters all nutrients and toxins in the bloodstream that are absorbed from the intestines.
- The liver processes toxins using phase I and phase II detoxification, essential for the proper neutralization and removal of toxins.
As the body's largest solid organ and our center for environmental toxin detox, our livers are under a lot of strain in today's increasingly toxic world. Toxins can build up in the liver and in fat cells, leading to skin, hormonal, and digestive issues, as well as physically depleting your body's energy levels.
There are over 80,000 toxins in use today, and over 1,000 are being added every year. Toxins are everywhere from medications to vehicle emissions and cigarette smoke, food additives, water contaminants—even the glues and chemicals used to make the carpet/flooring in your home.
Give Your Liver Some Love
The good news? You can detox your liver with antioxidant herbs and amino acids that help maximize liver function and take some of the stress off your body's hardest working detox organ. ǂ
NEW Daily Liver Support provides triple action liver detoxification care with a three part liver-focused formula:
- Detox Blend features liver supporting herbs and amino acids to promote bile flow for toxin elimination. ǂ
- Strengthen Blend provides milk thistle extract with silymarin, the best-studied herb for healthy liver support. ǂ
- Protect Blend combines antioxidant rich herbs with turmeric extract, an important antioxidant known to support healthy inflammation response by helping to neutralize free radicals. ǂ
Daily Liver Support is not a one-month cleanse but rather a daily multi-nutrient formula to help you maintain healthy liver function in our toxic world. * It contains absolutely no added artificial ingredients, binders, fillers, or excipients—just pure and active nutrients in a triple action detox formula.

I saw this at the midnight opening, after seeing Thor and Captain America for the first time immediately beforehand (it was an all-day marathon, but I had to leave for a bit so I missed Incredible Hulk and half of each Iron Man movie; I've seen both Iron Man movies but haven't seen the Incredible Hulk). Anyway, I freakin' loved it. The last battle was just one mind-blowingly cool moment after another; truly one of the greatest action sequences I have ever seen in a film. A great deal of that was due to how the characters were treated and used during the battle and for the entire movie preceding it. Just a whole hell of a lot of fun.
All three movies I saw in a row were in 3D, which is the most I've ever seen of the format in one sitting (with 15-minute breaks in-between, but still). I thought it was used really well in all three cases - it definitely helped it feel like you were more "in the world" of the film without being ridiculous. After a while, I forgot I was watching 3D - not because it was used so sparingly, but just because I got used to it. If all 3D releases were as good as this (or TPM, for instance), then I don't think people would take issue with it as much as they still do. (I rarely see 3D movies unless that's a major part of the draw, partly since the level of quality is still such a crapshoot.)Originally Posted by JetsAndHeels

Wray Report
The National Gallery of Australia (NGA) has received the findings of the Wray Report into the actions taken by the NGA to address recommendations from two previous Comcare investigations.
The main message after eighteen months of investigation is that international experts brought in by Mr Robert Wray have found that: 'there was no reason to suggest that the NGA environment constituted a threat to the health of the employees working in the building.'
This finding is reassuring given the level of speculation and allegation made against the Gallery and its staff by certain individuals.
The Wray Report states that the NGA has made satisfactory progress with the implementation of recommendations made in the previous Comcare reports.
It is hardly surprising that after eighteen months of investigation, and four other reports into the Gallery's air conditioning system, some matters have been found to be unsatisfactory. We will work to improve any deficiencies in our current processes and have engaged the National Safety Council of Australia to assist us in this regard.
In those areas where we agree with Mr Wray that we could have done better, we accept responsibility. I have pledged to the Parliament that where matters need to be fixed, we will fix them. Quite clearly we are doing so, and in accordance with agreed timelines.
There are seven recommendations to the report, and we accept all of them. We have no quarrel with Mr Wray's recommendations, but we part company where he says we have not learned by our experience.
It is surely illogical to say that the same staff who have ensured a building which is safe for its employees have learned little about occupational health and safety. Where our processes are not good enough, we will improve them. But I commend our staff in the face of allegations, mostly unsubstantiated and unwarranted, on their efforts on behalf of their colleagues and our visitors to the NGA.
The NGA of Australia looks forward to working with Comcare and the CPSU to assist in making sure that all of Mr Wray's recommendations are implemented.

Not impressed with Jack Del Rio's defense, average Joe QB 20 yard completion average, Broncos deserve to lose
You say he's average, but he's got a 7-4 record in the playoffs and just outplayed Manning after outplaying Brady last year. One dropped pass away from the SB last year.
Flacco is definitley an upper tier QB, even before today's game. He played huge against the Broncos, was on the money with his passes, played clutch and made a solid Bronco's D look ordinary.

Yes, that's what an invisible defense looks like in print. Their linebackers "led" by the ever-invisible A.J. (The Great White Hoax) Hawk never showed up. Capers had it all planned out for Kaepernick, a revolutionary 4-0-4 defense that let him run for the most yards for a quarterback in NFL history. Never been so embarrassed as a Packer backer - and with Green Bay's alleged defense the last few years, that's an awful lot of embarrassment to take into consideration.

Get the latest updates on our courses
Please use our subscription page to register your interest, and we will keep you updated on all relevant information and news about subjects you have chosen.
This course will enable you to use a broader but still limited range of oral, aural and written language skills. Though the emphasis is on speaking you will also learn more grammatical structures and sentence pattern, which are essential for further progression in French. In class you will get ample opportunity to speak through pair-work and group exercises; listen to authentic audio/video tapes; read short texts and complete exercises which will enhance your vocabulary and your knowledge of grammar. Written exercises will be completed at home. In order to maximise your acquired speaking skills this course will be followed by a shorter module concentrating entirely on speaking and listening. In terms of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (DELF and DALF), this course, prepares students for A1. You will learn how to greet people; how to introduce yourself and ask/answer simple questions; order snacks and drinks; talk about everyday activities; ask for/give the time; ask for/give directions and express preferences.
Who is this course for?
This course is for students who have studied French for one year part-time or who have s 'rusty' GCSE, who wish to consolidate and improve their existing language skills.
Learning and Teaching
The emphasis of the course is on participation and students are encouraged to actively participate in class through various non-threatening forms of activities designed to stimulate communication.
Coursework and Assessment
For us the most important element of assessment is that it should enhance your learning. Our methods are designed to increase your confidence and we try very hard to devise ways of assessing you that are enjoyable and suitable for adults with busy lives. To award credits we need to have evidence of the knowledge and skills you have gained or improved. Some of this has to be in a form that can be shown to external examiners so that we can be absolutely sure that standards are met across all courses and subjects. The assessment of this course is divided into four parts to assess each of the following skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. It is designed to enhance what you have learnt during the course. Additionally to the weekly sessions, we recommend that you spend time between the lessons, revising and practising what has been done in class.
Library and Computing Facilities
As a student on this course you are entitled to join and use the University library and computing facilities. You can find out more about these facilities on our website www.cardiff.ac.uk/learn under Student Information, or by ringing the Centre on (029) 2087 0000.

Health-Care Secrets
Chris Dodd keeps his Senate bill under wraps.
Obama has promised a "new era of transparency" in Washington, so perhaps he should talk to the Senate about getting with his program. On July 15, six weeks ago, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee passed an amended $1 trillion health-care bill, with acting Chairman Chris Dodd calling it a "historic achievement." Too bad the committee won't reveal this history even to other Senators, much less to the public.
Three weeks ago Republicans on the committee wrote Mr. Dodd "to reiterate our request for a full copy of the bill as amended, in the four-week mark-up." Mr. Dodd has refused to comply. The Senate bill that is available on the committee Web site is 790 pages long. While that is some 300 pages shorter than the House health bill, that's in part because it doesn't include nearly 200 amendments that passed when the committee redrafted the bill. Amended sections of the bill might as well be written in invisible ink.
The whole process was so haphazard that at one point during the committee mark-up Barbara Mikulski, the Democrat from Maryland, declared: "Giving me language on little pieces of paper on which I'm going to commit the sacred fortunes and honor of the United States for decades, this is not the way to go. We can't do this on the backs of envelopes."
We called Mr. Dodd's committee office last week to ask why the bill isn't posted, and a spokesman explained that it is still being "worked on." Will it be ready by October? "Don't count on it," the staffer said.
Meanwhile, President Obama has been saying that critics are "misrepresenting" his proposals. But who's to know what's reality and what's a myth when the public and Members of Congress aren't able to read a bill that would restructure one-seventh of our economy. We don't have any idea what the bill will cost or how many people it will provide insurance for, because the Congressional Budget Office can't score it. No wonder the public is increasingly skeptical of this entire exercise

"If you aren't going to specifically exclude it's almost like permission." Therefore, not including them in the bill does not exclude them...
It is based on this from the Center for Immigration Studies.So even though:Lack of Enforcement in HR 3200
The America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 (HR 3200) is extremely complex and there's no way to know how the bill ultimately will be implemented. First, it is unclear if illegal immigrants will be required to have health insurance, as would citizens and legal immigrants (green card holders). In its summary of the bill, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) states, "Under HR 3200, all legal permanent residents (LPRs), non-immigrants, and unauthorized aliens who meet the substantial presence test… would be required to obtain health insurance."1 Substantial presence is defined as having been in the United States for at least 31 days during the current year and at least 183 days during the current year and previous two years. No mention is made of legal status in the legislation for determining substantial presence.
The legislation offers affordable premium credits, or more simply affordability credits, to persons with low incomes who meet the substantial presence criteria. Under HR 3200, individuals would use the newly created Health Insurance Exchange to get affordability credits or to enroll in the to-be-created government-provided health insurance program often referred to as the "public option." The credits are based on a sliding scale, with lower-income people getting a larger credit. The income ceiling for the credits and public option is 400 percent of the poverty level. Section 246 of HR 3200 states, "Nothing in this subtitle shall allow federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States."2 But as CRS points out, "HR 3200 does not contain any restrictions on non-citizens — whether legally or illegally present, or in the United States temporarily or permanently — participating in the Exchange."3 So it would seem that illegal immigrants, along with some temporary workers and visitors, would be required to have insurance and could use the Exchange, despite a bar on them receiving taxpayer-financed affordable premium credits.
Even so, the bill does not include any means of determining legal status for those attempting to receive the affordability credits or the public option. Most similar means-tested programs require use of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to prevent illegal immigrants or other ineligible non-citizens from getting benefits. The SAVE program is currently used to verify immigrant eligibility for 71 other means-tested programs of this kind. However, on July 16, an amendment by Rep. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) that would have required the use of the SAVE program to prevent illegal immigrants from receiving the affordability credits was defeated by the House Ways and Means Committee. At present, there seems little to prevent illegal immigrants from accessing the proposed taxpayer-subsidized health insurance.
Section 246 of HR 3200 states, "Nothing in this subtitle shall allow federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States."
Since it isn't means tested, and because those who are legally here will be required to carry insurance, and they will have access to the exchange to shop for a policy, Obama is a liar because they are not means tested by SAVE. I'm not sure why they should means test someone who is not eligible for benefits, but that's what they are saying...

To my mind the President did nothing but a bunch of tub thumping about how great this health care reform will be and that cleaning up all the waste and fraud in the current system will pay for it. So if there's so much waste and fraud in the current system why doesn't he fix that? And then come back and build on that success? I think he truly believes his pathetic fire and brimstone speeches help him win friends and influence people. He's an empty windbag but such an unbelievable narcissist, he just likes the sound of his own voice booming out.

John Coltrane acid blasts rage through the Mars Volta's new The Bedlam in Goliath (Universal). Or maybe they're Jimi Hendrix technicolor explosions — the latest emanations of a sonic zeitgeist that Hendrix named the "electric church."
Either way, the music is a flashback. Not exactly the kind Coltrane might have had after allegedly recording Om (Impulse) on LSD in 1965, but with its thorny compositional sense, impossible-to-follow story line, and blurts of free-form playing, The Bedlam in Goliath is not so far from hallucination.
There's also something frayed and paisley about Louis XIV's new Slick Dogs and Ponies (Pineapple/Atlantic). It starts with the sound of a tape recording being played backward, and if you follow that aural trick in the same direction, you come to 1967, the year that Hendrix's Are You Experienced? (Experience Hendrix) and the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Capitol) brought that studio maneuver to the public. Then fast-forward to, say, 1975 and you reach the Electric Light Orchestra's Face the Music (Sony), whose first track, "Fire on High," starts with a backwards recording of a voice. Before the days of CDs and downloads, it could be decoded by applying a phonograph needle and spinning the vinyl platter in reverse. That revealed bandleader Jeff Lynne intoning, "The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back. Turn back. Turn back."
Today, a new generation of musicians is, indeed, reversing music. Modern rock radio often sounds like a time line snapped by its tail. Death Cab for Cutie and Badly Drawn Boy have hits that could have been plucked from the folk-rock scene of the '60s and early '70s. Jet and the Hives buzz as if they were part of the '80s garage-rock revival, or even the initial wave when the Sonics and the Electric Prunes buzz-sawed into '60s rock-and-roll history. Then there's Lenny Kravitz, who could single-handedly put every tribute band out of business.
One reason so many current rock artists are emulating the sounds of the past is that the very best rockers of bygone times broke ground on territory still fertile for exploration. Especially Hendrix and, given the width of his influence, Coltrane, whose sonic expressionism tripped open all kinds of avenues to the id and to the universe. Another reason is that the great musicians of yesterday are still very much a part of today's cultural landscape, even more than film directors and visual artists. Thanks to the glut of CD reissues and the quick and cheap availability of song downloads, listeners — musicians or civilians — can sample almost any artist of significance who catches their interest.
Bob Marley, Hendrix, the Beatles, and Led Zeppelin all sell more music annually than most current acts, even though they haven't made a new recording in decades. Hell, so do Lynyrd Skynyrd. It doesn't help that today's strictly formatted radio industry affords fewer opportunities to air new bands. But informed young music fans — the kind who will remain passionate about what they listen to as they grow older — stopped caring about most radio years ago. Even before podcasts came onto the radar. They've learned they need to find good music themselves. And they do — which is why most of the people wearing T-shirts with images of performers like Hendrix and Marley weren't even born when those artists died or laid down their torches.

Posted April 29, 2009; 01:41 p.m.
Musicians, artists, scholars and critics will celebrate the sounds and culture of the New South at a symposium Friday and Saturday, May 8-9, in McCosh 50 and Taplin Auditorium, Fine Hall.
"Radio Free Dixie (Or, De Dirty South Broke-down): A Symposium on New South
Sounds and Culture" will examine rock musicians, artists, scholars, politicians, spiritual figures and critics that emerged from the American Southeast during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The symposium is free and open to the public, but registration is required by contacting Andrea Stearly in the Office of Conference and Event Services at <firstname.lastname@example.com> or 258-1741.
The event is sponsored by the Program in American Studies and is presented by music critic Kandia Crazy Horse, the 2008-09 Anschutz Distinguished Fellow in American Studies.
Stanley Booth, author of the books "The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones" and "Rythm Oil: A Journey Through the Music of the American South," will give a keynote address at 4:30 p.m. May 8 in McCosh 50. The address will pay tribute to the late Jerry Wexler, the legendary Atlantic Records music producer who worked with artists such as Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Led Zeppelin.
The event will continue at 10 a.m. May 9 in McCosh 50 with a panel discussion featuring: Camara Holloway, assistant professor of art history at the University of Delaware; Arthur Jafa Fielder, a filmmaker who was the cinematographer for the movies "Crooklyn" and "Daughters of the Dust"; Ned Sublette, a musician and author of "The World That Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo Square"; and Charles Hughes, a doctoral student in history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
An afternoon roundtable about southern music and pop culture titled "(Not Just) Knee-Deep in the Briarpatch" will start at 1:15 p.m. May 9, in Taplin Auditorium. The discussion will feature: Booth; Crazy Horse; Jonathan Wilson, co-founder of the North Carolina band Muscadine; Jennifer Herrema, leader of the rock band RTX; Ernest Hardy, an award-winning arts critic for L.A. Weekly; and Craig Street, a Grammy award-winning record producer. The discussion will be followed by a musical performance by Wilson.
The event also marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Allman Brothers Band, the influential Southern music group. Symposium participants will examine the significance of the vanguard art of the Allman Brothers and the generation of Southern postmodernists who were inspired by the band.
The symposium is cosponsored by the Lewis Center for the Arts, the Department of Music and the Center for African American Studies. For more information, visit the symposium website.

Favorite way to eat Tillamook:
I like our cheese just about all ways. But my absolute favorite is macaroni and cheese where the cheese sauce is a mix of cheeses like our Vintage White with some Sharp or Special Reserve Extra Sharp, and a little bit of Swiss tossed in for the ooey, gooey, melty, cheesy factor. Yummy!
Hobbies & Interests:
I live at the beach, so naturally I enjoy the coast, shell hunting, walking on the beach, and more. I like to do arts and crafts projects, as well as reading, relaxing, and photography.

Harvey sets EWU record for 3-pointers in win over Northern Colorado
GREELEY, Colo. - The Eagles needed a huge effort, but they got a road rout instead – and a school record and season sweep as well.
Sophomore Tyler Harvey set the school's single season record for 3-pointers made en route to a 31-point effort and Eagles Washington University was impressive in both halves to rout second-place Northern Colorado 80-66 in a Big Sky Conference men's basketball game Thursday (Feb. 27) in Greeley, Colo.
Harvey made seven 3-pointers, giving him 104 for the season to eclipse the previous record of 103 set by Shanon Taylor in the 1998-99 season. Harvey is now third in Big Sky Conference history, with the record of 124 owned by Northern Arizona's Stephen Sir (2006-07 season).
Finishing with his sixth 30-point performance of the season, his record-breaking 104th trey came during a 9-0 run that gave the Eagles a 73-54 lead with 4:36 to play. The Eagles also led by as many as 16 in the first half (38-22) and 19 twice early in the second half (61-42 and 64-45).
"It's becoming routine for Tyler -- a 31-point game and 7-of-11 from three," said Eastern head coach Jim Hayford. "He is becoming a very, very special player."
The Eagles won for the sixth time in their last eight games in handing UNC its first home loss of the season in 14 tries. More importantly, it gave the Eagles a season sweep over the Bears, which could come into play in tiebreakers at the end of the season. There are still 10 teams jockeying for seven spots in the Big Sky Conference Tournament.
"This is a great win and they were undefeated in home until we beat them," said Hayford, whose team fell at home to Portland State 87-76 just three days earlier. "Our team showed great character to come back and play this way after Monday's loss. This was our third game in five days. I'm just really proud of our team – we showed great character and great togetherness."
The win moves the Eagles from a four-way tie for sixth into a four-way tie for fourth with a 9-8 Big Sky record. Eastern is now 14-14 overall and next plays at North Dakota on Saturday (March 1) in a game that begins at 12:05 p.m. Pacific time and is broadcast by the MidCo Sports Network. The game is also carried live on ESPN 700-AM and www.watchbigsky.com.
North Dakota, which defeated Portland State 83-73 on Thursday, is now in a second-place tie with UNC at 10-7. The Bears fell to 16-10 on the season while North Dakota improved to 13-14 on the year.
Sophomore Venky Jois was the only other Eagle in double figures with 10 points, with juniors Drew Brandon and Martin Seiferth each contributing seven points and six rebounds.
True freshman Ognjen Miljkovic came off the bench to score 11 points for the Eagles, including a pair of 3-pointer to help EWU to 11 for the night. Sophomore point guard Daniel Hill played 18 minutes off the bench because of a hand injury suffered by Brandon, and responded with four assists and 6-of-8 free throws.
"We got some really good bench production," praised Hayford. "O.G. gave us some really good offense in the second half when we needed some points, and Daniel was solid.
"We won the second half without our point guard," added Hayford, whose team had a 41-30 lead at halftime and out-scored the Bears 39-36 after intermission. "That showed great toughness. Drew was the loudest guy on the bench cheering on his teammates through the whole half. It was an outstanding, outstanding night to be an Eagle."
Eastern held UNC to eight points below its season scoring average (74.7) and out-rebounded the Bears 35-25. Eastern finished at 49 percent for the game – including 42 percent from the 3-point stripe – and held UNC to 46 percent shooting overall and 4-of-16 from the arc.
"We executed really well," said Hayford. "Northern Colorado is a really good rebounding team and we owned the boards. It was a really good team win. We took great care of the ball and only had eight turnovers. And our shot selection from three was really wise."
Northern Colorado had entered the game making 54 percent of its shots at home, including 46 from 3-point range. Eastern held UNC's Derrick Barden to just eight points and four rebounds after entering with averages of 13.8 and 8.2, respectively.
"By committee we did a really good job on Barden," Hayford added. "Our defense was outstanding, but we want to keep getting better on defense."
Earlier this season at Reese Court, Eastern fell to UND 73-61 before knocking off UNC in overtime by a 94-90 score. Last week, the Eagles picked up an 85-74 win at Southern Utah on Feb. 22, but fell two nights later at home to Portland State by an 87-76 score on Feb. 24.

Sudan: Humanitarian operations gain momentum
Humanitarian activities to support people affected by the recent violence in Abyei continue to scale up despite challenges, including heavy rains and insecurity in some areas.
As of 1 June, the World Food Programme had assisted 54,588 displaced people from Abyei with over 700 tons of food. On 1 June 8,444 people were assisted with one-month food rations in Mayen Abun, Turalei and Wunrok in Warrap State. On the same day, food was also delivered to Agok.
A water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) team arrived in Agok on 31 May to assess the condition of water points, sanitation and community needs for water, sanitation, and hygiene. The team delivered 200 hygiene kits, containing soap and a jerry can. Another 200 kits will be shipped to Agok shortly.
In Mayen Abun in the Warrap State, the hand pump accessed by displaced people has been rehabilitated and is now providing water to 1,000-1,500 people per day. Another borehole in the area will be rehabilitated within the coming days.
Heavy rains have also been affecting emergency shelter for displaced groups and pose a serious risk for health conditions, sanitation and the spread of disease. The rains are likely to affect the delivery of assistance, and aid agencies are now pre-positioning supplies before the rains render roads impassable.
Children under five years are being vaccinated for measles and polio. Vaccinations are being provided by humanitarian partners and the state Ministry of Health. Health cluster partners have started mobile clinics in Anyiel, Turalei, Racoyan, Anyiel Kwac, and in Wau in Western Bahr el Ghazal.
Save the Children, in collaboration with UNICEF, has established a child friendly shelter in Mayen Abun, where the activities will be run by teachers and volunteers. As of 30 May, recreational activities had reached 400 children.
In the Agok area, parts of the town market have started to open. However, there is a sizable presence of southern Sudanese security forces and armed civilians on the streets and the situation is reported to be tense.
The estimated number of people displaced from the Abyei area who reached southern Sudan now stands at more than 76,000. The International Organization for Migration and the Southern Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (SSRRC) continue verification and registration of the displaced population.

Friday, February 15, 2013, I drove over to Vicksburg, MS with my son, Drake, and our friend Alan. Alan doesn't hunt but he did attend a hunt test with me last Fall, became interested in the sport and has recently purchased a puppy that is now 12 weeks old. Drake had entered Started with his puppy, Bree, and I had entered Finished with my dog Jack.
The HT was held at the Mahanna W.M.A. awesome test grounds. The members of the West Mississippi HRC did a great job, the judges all did a great job and a good time was had by all. Thank you West MS HRC.
My 16 y.o. Son, Drake, ran his 10 month old puppy, Bree, in Started, passing on both days. Drake has done ALL of the training for Bree from obedience to force-fetch and now beginning force-to-pile. He trains diligently in the afternoons after school and on weekends and it was good to see him smiling when he saw that all of the hard work was paying off and everything was starting to come together.
I somehow managed to pass Finished both days (I guess the judges felt sorry for me for the screwing that I got at the Grand and decided to toss me a bone) but hey, never look a gift horse in the mouth! I got 30 points closer to my "free" jacket. I had a really good time, Alan Sandifer shared some of his training secrets with me, I enjoyed a lengthy visit with Mrs. Gerry Autrey, and socialized with Adam Campbell, Scott Sutton, Thad Simmons, and Richard, Zack and Jack Gravely. I have dubbed two of these guys as "Team RAINBOW"!
We also enjoyed some of Richard Gravely's famous tailgate cooking both days. All in all it was an enjoyable experience and we will be back.

They should get marked down at least once more but I had to grab the Snowtrooper while it was still available. I plan on going back in a week or so to see if they marked them down again and I'll get the rest and maybe an extra of each to open.

Your signature here!
Don't be shy, start looking around other forums for people who are attending the event(s) she'll be available at. Start making connections now, and I'm sure you'll be able to find someone that can hook you up. I've had lots of luck working that way, tons of collectors appreciate the difficulties of the hobby and can't wait to help out.
I picked up the new version of Castle Greyskull this past weekend at KB for only $19.99, so for those who were wondering - yes, it has been released. I never picked up the original release version (the one that works with the chips if the figures' feet) so I can't say for certain how different it is, but the box art features Zodak, Roboto, and Snake Armor He-Man among others.
Well, here's the final finished She-Ra con figure. It looks good, but there's already some folks complaining about the cloth cape and the crappy rooted hair. Eh, I don't care, I'm glad I stopped collecting the line. Especially since Mattel ran it so crappy, that the line is basically dead anyway.
MTFBWY and HH!!MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
Comic-Con International (July 22-25, San Diego, CA), Wizard World Chicago (Aug. 13-15, Rosemont, IL)
SHE-RA - What could possibly be hotter than Keldor? How bout She-Ra? Thats right that She-Ra. He-Mans long-lost twin sister is long-lost no more, as she becomes the newest Masters convention exclusive from Mattel. The figure, which is partially based on a Teela figure, will have rooted hair and come with be available in greater quantities than last years Keldor, but you know the demand is there, so get one fast. ($20)
Jar Jar Binks
AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
I saw that. I think it is a nice mix between MOTU & POP. I like it and hope I am some how able to get one.
"It can't rain all the time."
"Quote the Raven, Nevermore."
I'm not quite sure how I feel... I will probably get one, but It's a figure that I think I could easily customize. I don't like the gold color of her sword, I may paint that.
Your signature here!
I forgot this line still existed, my local comic shop is still trying to get $15 and up for both common figures and Snakemen-sub-line figures. I'm really shocked to hear suggestion that this could be more popular than Keldor, I'm just not seeing it.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Found Man-E-Faces at KB in Panorama City today for $5. All the basics are $5 (lots and lots of Spin Blade Skeletors, but several Orkos, Ram-Mans, He-Man and variations, and Mekaneks too) and there are other items of fairly good price as well. Man-E, Evil Lyn, and big-hand Man-At-Arms (which I'm not sure ever got released) were the last figures I wanted from this line, so it was a cool find.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Do they have any more Evil-Lyn figures left? I'd love to have one if you could maybe help me out!
The "big hand Man-At-Arms" was released - I saw him once at Kay Bee nearly a year ago.
Last time I was out of town, I found tons of the Snake Men line at a Media Play. King Hiss, The General (or Rattlor, as I believe he was originally called), He-Man, Man-At-Arms and the re-cards of Tri-Klops and Whiplash...
I picked up one of the Generals for $8.99 - mostly for nostalgia reasons (as I'm probably quoted in this thread, I was really starting to dislike the Masters line). But when I opened this figure, I was a bit surprised. I didn't mind it too much. The action feature - spring loaded neck - doesn't bother me. It doesn't hinder anything as you can still turn the General's head.
It's articulation is still limited, and I wish it had a bendy tail, but overall, I think this is one of the better figures.
If anyone needs any of those figures, let me know. I'll see if I can pick them up the next time I go (might not be any time soon, but at least I'll know to look).
P.S. Oh, yeah, JT... I'm with Roo Jay. If they have any Evil Lyn's, think you could help me out?
They call them fingers, and yet they don't fing. Noodle that one for a while.

When I was a young Scout there was no better moment at Courts of Honor than being able to pin the "Mom's" pin on my Mom. Having earned a rank and being able to share that with Mom was a special thing. Today the "Mom's Pin" is called the Parent Pin, and I suppose that is a relection on the times that we live in. Everyone must be included and in many cases Mom or Dad may not be in the picture. When I was a Cub Scout we lived in an apartment building. My Den was made up from the boys that lived on the 8th and 9th floors pretty much and we met in someones apartment (ours). My Mom was our Den Mother and she had a few ladies that helped out. It was always fun to wear our uniforms to school and then come home for Scouts, and the gang I hung out with were all great friends. We were close as you can get and Scouting was not really a once a week activity. We lived with each other, played, ran, and went to School with one another. And our Parents were all friends too.
I never knew what divorce was until I got into High School, and even then it was rare. My best friends parents divorced, but were remarried, so he still had a mom and a dad, so it all seemed "Normal" to me. When I became a Cubmaster, I noticed at parent meetings that there was always drama about sharing time with the kids or who's dropping off little Timmy, or "It's my Dad's weekend to have me, so I can't go on the outing". Moving up to Boy Scouts was much the same, but at least the Scouts were older so they could just be dropped off and picked up. But it really hits me at Courts of Honor. When I see our Scouts that are torn between sitting with Mom or Dad, and who gets the pin? the struggle that is forced on the 10 and half year old boy as he stands in front of the crowd and is asked to place the parent pin on … I see the confusion in their faces and the angst of their little bodies as they turn to one parent or the other. 9 times out of 10 though.. the pin goes on Mom.
There is still something special about that pin going on Mom. Sure Dads help and guide that young man, but at the end of the day we all just want to be able to pin that pin on Mom.
I am a product of a set of parents that celebrated their 46 wedding anniversary on Friday. I know nothing else. My kids know that my wife and I have been married for 19 years and that their Grandparents (all 4 of them) have been together since the beginning of time. I enjoy the fact that I never have to see that worry, confusion, or troubled look on my two sons as they turn to pin on the "Mom's Pin".
To all the Mom's out there… HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

from Lawrence, Kansas
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Nashbar Steel Bike Rack:
My boyfriend and I wanted to be able to store our bikes in the house without damaging the walls or ceiling. This rack is a sturdy and convenient way to do so! The bars are easy to adjust, and we're able to move bikes on and off the rack daily without any trouble.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Durable, works great
By Kate

About Me Casual/ Recreational
I've had this rack for about 10 years now. I keep a road bike and a mountain bike on it. It was easy to assemble, looks great, and is as good as the day I got it. The price is excellent. I highly recommend this rack.
Works great
By Project 22
from Northern Illinois University
The bike rack was pretty easy to assemble and it's very sturdy. I needed additional bike storage and this rack works great. It would be terrific if Nashbar could figure out a way to make the bike cradles adjustable. I have multiple types of bikes and I'm only comfortable using this rack for my road bikes.
Great bike stand!
By Tommycyclist
from Mpls, MN
Great price on this from Nashbar. Picked up 2 on sale. Price at Nashbar cannot be beat. Same exact storage stand seen for twice the money with diff branding on other sites. Built sturdy and nice finish on it. Great to get my bikes organized off the ground. Nashbar never fails to be the go-to place for most of my cycling needs.
good solid rack for the price

Sturdy bike rack. Cleans up the clutter. One less bike on the floor.
This is a great bike rack.
I don't have a complaint. This rack is built well. Very sturdy. Her bike goes on the lower rack and mine on top. One less bike on the floor.
Leg leveler scandal adjustable top bar holders
By Scott
from Roswell, NM
My rented garage has concrete walls so that mounting to the wall is impossible. The floor is also uneven. This bike rack is ideal for both. It is a sturdy and stable rack on which I keep 2 bikes, usually with the heavier one on top since I use it less. Despite this configuration, the legs can be adjusted to accommodate the uneven floor. The rack is not easily tipped over and I have never experienced a fall, even with a bike on the top rack with none on the bottom. The arms that hold the bike can be adjusted so the bike is near or farther away from the rack frame allowing for protecting one bike from the other. I have had it several years and it is holding up well. The finish is really tough and does not chip despite quite a bit of abuse. The price is to die for.
1 less bike on the floor

1 less bike on the floor means more space

The one and only!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I want to put a comic book word bubble above your last pic that will read, "Dude: did anyone see what happened to my car?"
Actually, there is a serious side to all of this. The FBI enlists the help of other law enforcement agencies throughout the country to help it out on big cases. For example, the Oklahoma City bombing had literally hundreds of people from other agencies from surrounding states (and beyond) to help work that awful tragedy. That scene was worked 24/7 until it was completed. It takes a bunch of folks to make that happen. The Feds just don't have that much manpower. So, they provide the training and we come a-runnin' when they need us. I've been called out once so far by them and I'm used frequently by our own bomb squad (believe it nor not, California is the Pipe Bomb Capital of the Nation!).
I've also been through arson school. Same drill: you get to burn stuff up and then go find out the cause and origin. Working arson cases is one of the most interesting aspects of my job IMO.
I feel very fortunate to have fallen into such an interesting job (I had planned on becoming a teacher but fate had other ideas). You can imagine there's a lot to the job that's not so appealing as well.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
(j/k: cool job and the work you do is very important to the cause of justice. For that I commend you.)

Here is another picture from my weekend retreat, I am hiding a dollar bill in what is known as the money game. You find dollar bills in the room that other guests have left hidden. They fill out a journal with clues, and you try to find as many as possible. Then you take one of your own dollars and add it to the ones left in the room. Our clue was "not in the bed".

10 Sci-Fi Faster-Than-Light Systems
Designed by Brutal Legend powerhouse Tim Schafer, Full Throttle is a point-and-click adventure about frame-ups, murder, and motorcycles. The dystopian future setting allows for creative dialogue and choices that are more reminiscent of 1990s action stars like Steven Seagal than Uncharted's Nathan Drake. In fact, our hero Ben would probably give Drake a nice little shiner.
Puzzles are sprinkled throughout, though you're typically able to accomplish your goals with brute force. The game's mix of traditional animation with CG looked pretty revolutionary in 1995 and still gets the point across today.
Most Japanese RPGs during the 1990s were set in faraway lands and distant time periods. Right off the bat, Earthbound differentiates itself from the likes of Chrono Trigger and the Final Fantasy series because it takes place in a modern setting, specifically 199X. You control a Charlie Brown–like boy named Ness and collect other characters with differing abilities, leading up to a battle against an evil alien called Giygas. The fights in the game stand out in bizarre tie-dye planes where you use attack and PSI power to defeat your foes.
Unlike most RPGs of its day, Earthbound's dialogue is funny and translated perfectly. And like hardcore action games coming out of Japan today, this game is a look at American culture through an Eastern filter.

Base Station CB Radios
There are not many CB base stations for sale these days. In decades past, there were plenty of options if you needed to have a fixed location radio for your shipping office or management trailer to keep in touch with drivers and heavy machinery operators, or even your shed or garage for shooting skip. Unfortunately, demand for this type of radio has dropped off over the years to the point where it is no longer a profitable avenue for most manufacturers. We do carry the Galaxy DX2547 base CB radio, which is a good product to consider if you are in need of a base station unit.
The only alternative is to use a mobile CB radio connected to a 12 volt power supply. While is is a perfectly good solution, it isn't quite as neat and contained as a true base station home CB radio.
We also have everything you need for connecting an antenna to your radio from the base antenna to the coax. If you are going with the DX2547 you won't need an SWR meter. It has one built right in!
Be sure to check out our guide to CB radio installation in order to get expert advice on installing your base CB radio.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The Mississippi Ethics Commission reversed previous rulings Friday and said legislators who work for health care providers that treat Medicaid patients can vote on Medicaid issues.
The commission also said that legislators with family members who receive Medicaid reimbursements may vote.
The rulings were sought by Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, after six Republican House members did not vote during the 2013 session on funding and reauthorizing the Division of Medicaid for the new fiscal year, which starts July 1. The change could have an impact on legislative deliberations in an expected upcoming special session.
House Democrats, demanding the speaker allow a vote on expanding Medicaid as is allowed under federal law, were able to block funding and reauthorizing of the existing program in part because the six Republicans did not vote.
Presumably, armed with Friday's Ethics Commission decision, Gov. Phil Bryant, an ardent opponent of expansion, will call a special session in the coming weeks to try to reauthorize and fund the existing program that provides coverage to about 640,000 disabled, elderly, poor pregnant women and poor children. The expansion would add an estimated 300,000 to the rolls, primarily the working poor.
Friday's Ethics Commission decision was 5-3, the minimum number of votes for the commission to enact a ruling. The opinions provide public officials legal protection if they adhere to them.
If no votes change from the regular session and the Republican members impacted by Friday's ruling vote with the majority of their party, there will be enough votes to fund Medicaid, but not to reauthorize it. The reauthorization requires a three-fifths majority because it includes taxes on hospitals and nursing homes.
The Ethics Commission has made numerous rulings through the years on Medicaid-related questions.
But in the most recent December decision, the commission reaffirmed that a legislator employed by a Medicaid provider "must recuse himself or herself from any measure which will result in a pecuniary benefit for his or her employer."
On Friday, the commission ruled that while in some instances a legislator who works in the health care industry should not vote on a particular Medicaid issue where there is a direct impact, in general the members could vote on reauthorization and appropriation. The ruling was based in part on the fact that other entities, including federal agencies, affect the amount of money going to health care providers.
Commission member Bill Wheeler of Tupelo said he could not understand the majority's decision since it still took legislative action for those health care providers to receive Medicaid funds.
Ethics Commission Executive Director Tom Hood said the reversal by the commission was made in part because of past court rulings. The courts have ruled that legislators whose spouses are school teachers could vote on education appropriations. He said legislators who work in the health care field were being held to a different standard by past Ethics Commission rulings.
"This is a difficult situation for all of us," said Commission member Paul Breazeale of Jackson, who was part of the majority in Friday's ruling. "We do have opinions that differ in the past. It is a very timely issue."
The Ethics Commission took the additional step of opining that the legislators could vote no Medicaid expansion, but "advises … the requester to recuse himself or herself from any measure which would expand the Medicaid program."
While the House speaker asked for "a blanket" opinion, the Ethics Commission required each individually impacted House member to make a separate request. By law, the names of the public official requesting an opinion of the Ethics Commission are not made public, though it is known that Reps. Donnie Bell, R-Fulton; Lester "Bubba" Carpenter, R-Burnsville, Margaret Ellis Rogers, R-New Albany; Mac Huddleston, R-Pontotoc, were among the six requesting the opinions.
The commission did not rule on one of the individual requests because of a lack of information, but the general ruling would appear to cover all the members.
Rep. Bobby Moak of Bogue Chitto, the minority Democratic leader, said each individual member still should be guided by his conscience on whether there is a conflict and that the Ethics Commission opinions should be part of that decision process, but not the overriding factor.
Moak said he also was disappointed that the House leadership was "going to the extreme" of petitioning the Ethics Commission to make a ruling for "a certain vote."
Commission member Billy Powell of Madison, who was one of three Republican Party leaders Gunn dined with after hours in his Capitol office after the session ended, said the speaker had not spoken to him about the Medicaid issue.

Berlin's Fuck for Forest is one of the world's most bizarre charities: based on the idea that sex can change the world, the NGO raises money for their environmental cause by selling home-made erotic films on the Internet. You must be 18 and over to attend the screening.
NY Premiere!
F--- For Forest (Michal Marczak | Germany | 97 min.)
F--- For Forest, the environmental group that lends its name to this documentary, describes itself as an erotic non-profit ecological organization. Underpinned by the universal understanding that sex sells, F--- For Forest creates and distributes DIY, eco-friendly erotica online, all of which can be accessed for a tax-deductible donation. Think: hairy porn, but with a conscience.
As the film begins, we meet Danny—once an Olympian show-jumper, Danny abandoned his bourgeois upbringing and uprooted to Berlin. After meeting the founders of FFF, Leona and Tommy, he quickly surrendered himself to their quest to save the planet. Without judgment or mockery, Rooftop alum Michal Marczak's documentary quietly observes the lives of this small group of activists, offering a fascinating glimpse into their thriving neo-hippy subculture. F--- For Forest weaves through a world of underground folk gigs and sex clubs with dizzying intensity, exposing copulating flesh and environmentalist rhetoric with a sordid curiosity that is at once strangely appealing and downright bizarre.
As the group journeys down the Amazon into the heart of the rainforest in the hope of donating the money raised from their website to local projects, the film takes a murky turn. The native population is not accustomed to the group's wide-eyed, no-strings-attached altruism. Confronted with the stark reality of the people they encounter, FFF's self-deluding idealism rings hollow. Deep-seated cultural differences reveal themselves and the intractable imbalance of charity itself is laid uncomfortably bare.
Regardless of whether you agree with their means, the unwavering sincerity of FFF is admirable. And although saving the planet may be more complicated than just getting naked and having sex, the members of F--- For Forest remain ardently committed to their cause. As for Danny, he continues to roam the urban sprawl, ukulele in hand, spreading the word about liberating your body to anyone who'll lend an ear. His family still thinks there's something wrong with him, but he says he's happy being misunderstood.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Transparency
As we noted in an earlier post, EFF received the first batch of records from the DOJ in our FOIA lawsuit related to Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act yesterday. The government released approximately 300 pages of records to EFF, but (not surprisingly) none of those records shed any light on the information EFF sought in the first place -- the government's secret interpretation and use of Section 215.
In honor of Sunshine Week, yesterday we reviewed what EFF's Freedom of Information Act requests revealed in the past year. Today, we'll take a look at the FOIA lawsuits we filed last year and the information we hope the suits will provide.
Secret Interpretation and Use of the Patriot Act
As Sunshine Week rolls on, we wanted to highlight EFF's transparency work over the past year. In an era of excessive government secrecy, the FOIA process is becoming increasingly vital to both keeping the public informed and holding the government accountable.
During the past year, EFF's FOIA team filed over 30 different FOIA requests, to dozens of federal agencies, seeking information on the government's use of technology and its effect on civil liberties. When the government doesn't respond to our requests, we are sometimes forced to file suit: in 2011, we filed three new lawsuits, and are currently litigating four others, stemming from the government's failure to release the records we've requested.
Today kicks off Sunshine Week—a week dedicated to focusing on the importance of open government and ensuring accountability for government officials at the federal, state and local levels. To celebrate, EFF is kicking off a new weekly feature to highlight important news regarding government transparency. We will report on important Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests filed by EFF and other organizations, discuss important court cases, provide links to new FOIA releases by the government (voluntarily or through lawsuit), and track any progress—or lack thereof—made in important open government initiatives.
Three years ago this past weekend, on his first full day in office, President Barack Obama issued his now infamous memo on transparency and open government, which was supposed to fulfill his campaign promise to lead the "most transparent administration in history." Instead, his administration has been just as secretive—if not more so—than his predecessors, and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has become the prime example of his administration's lack of progress.
