Icy Surf For 48th Annual New England Mid-Winter Championships It turned out to be a perfect combination of wind, weather and surf, as the oldest, continuously running winter surfing competition took place, this past weekend. This was the 48th Annual New England Mid-Winter Surfing Championships, and it happened at the same beach that the first contest did, in 1968. Sarah Procaccini. Photo Lisa Haase. Despite howling southwest winds, most of the waves held up, as the swell increased throughout the day. By the end of the event, there were solid overhead sets pouring through the contest zone.

Sandtroopers put up images of a Target-exclusive battle pack called Darth Maul Returns. It includes a new Darth Maul with post-"exorcism" cyborg legs, a repack of the hard-to-find armored Savage Opress figure, and an unnamed Nightsister who looks an awful lot like Mother Talzin, but has slightly different hangy downy things in her front and back.
The Maul figure says "First Appearance!" so I wonder if this is included in the 19 basic figures for the year. They should really get it out as much as possible, so probably.
I'd really like to know the story of the Nightsister figure and why it's unnamed. The differences between her design and the look of Talzin aren't that obvious. I remember Derryl saying they were going to make a Mighella in the realistic line before Talzin, so I wonder if they reused any parts from her for this figure. It doesn't look as animated as some of the other figures . . . it's very strange.
Savage doesn't have his lightsaber, which was only available with the armored version. That's too bad for people who didn't get him the first time. I would have preferred that his front left horn would have been modified to be broken, as it is on the show, but oh well.
This set raises a lot of questions, but it's still pretty damn cool.

Understanding Society is an excellent blog that focuses on key issues in sociology – especially contemporary sociological theory – and does a very good job of explaining the concepts. I've been dealing with the issue of social complexity for awhile now in my attempts to think about what it means to be Cambodian, Buddhist, Khmer, etc., etc., in contemporary Cambodia. However, there are many different approaches to complexity, and they are not all commensurate to each other. Here's a post specifically on Social Complexity.
That's all 'theory.' How about some important practice? Nancy Scheper-Hughes, whose name should be beatified upon her passing by the church of Anthropology, is interviewed here, on the Global Trade With Poor People's Kidneys. It's a long piece, on Scheper-Hughes in general; this section is on organ trade. I demand you both read it. 🙂
Cambodians have similar fears to the ones Scheper-Hughes encountered. I am unaware of any studies – or even journalism – that examines the reality of organ trade in Cambodia. Anybody have ideas or suggestions?
Speaking of three-part weblog interviews: here's a good three-parter on the anthropology blog Savage Minds with Jason Baird, about Open Access academic publishing.
Speaking of Open Access academic publishing: the inaugural issue of Hau: a journal of ethnographic theory, is imminently to be released, with articles from very heavy hitters: Sahlins, Graeber, Wagner, and others. Wow. Plus, a dear friend of mine is on the editorial board! Very proud of her, but don't know if she'd want me to name her.
The Religion Bulletin has a new piece on "Hitler, Religion, and the Bible," in which the author examines another person's blog post "overview of the involvement of biblical scholars in promoting Nazi Germany's anti-Jewish policies."

Diving deep into Power's soft data
DETROIT -- J.D. Power and Associates' annual Initial Quality Study always gets more attention than the APEAL Study, even though the data are drawn from the same massive pool of respondents.
But I like 'em both, especially when the unexpected pops up.
And today, the APEAL Study (formally the 2012 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout Study) shows that all those folks downsizing their car purchases aren't suffering, aren't sacrificing, and in fact like their new smaller vehicles as well as the hulks they traded in.
How's that? Going green doesn't hurt? Not even a bit?
Nope, says Power's study guru, David Sargent.
Turns out, buyers score today's average small cars exactly the same as they did mid-sized cars in 2008. And noting that current buyers are trading in 6-year-old cars, Sargent says features and equipment advance "so fast that the cars they are moving into are superior to what they are moving out of."
Back to IQS having more industry street cred than APEAL. I'm not really surprised that "things gone wrong" appeals more to this industry than "things gone right."
As a group, we love quant, things we can count. Like mistakes. Hey, that's broken. One. And that's poorly designed. Two.
But APEAL measures how much buyers like the vehicles they bought. Try to count like. This car goes like stink. Um, is that a one or a two?
And our quantitative inner ego recoils. Oh, that's just soft science.
And APEAL is inevitably skewed in favor of luxury brands. You know, those expensive vehicles with cool features, big engines and fine interiors. Porsche has been rated as the top brand in the study for, oh, eight years now.
It's no accident that luxury brands took the top 12 places this year and economy specialist Suzuki finished last. Buyers know they get what they pay for -- that expensive brakes work better and smoother than bargain brakes.
As Sargent dryly puts it: "Fast, large and premium scores better than slow, small and cheap."

Obama has always made it clear that he was not prepared to simply walk away from the Patriot Act but would not support warrantless activities or actions that undermined due process. My biggest complaint about the business records authority is the ability of the government to prohibit the organization that is subject to records disclosure from telling anyone what happened. The provision allowing phone tapping to move from phone to phone as the individual targeted changes phones is important and does require a special warrant.

I believe that Kevin's "title" was reflecting the original objections to The Patriot Act, not his own view of that legislation.So when did reauthorizing what you previously supported become a "shredding of the Constitution"?
This latest "news" is about, it appears, only the provisions of the legislation that had an expiration date.
Maybe the "real" news is that there is some agreement between the present administration and the previous one?
Evidently, there are others as well. Gates has been retained in the position he was put in by the previous administration, for example.

My first pano ever, taken with a tripod but no robot. Clearly I didn't understand the importance of having the tripod as level as possible. I could of course crop the image but then it would be too small to upload.
Still, not bad for beginner's luck :-)
Update: I have progressed a little since I took this in August 2008. Check this out: share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=20850&snapshot_id=63888.

I am indebted to you aam50. I will rename the pano accordingly. (And yes, it's a fine place to while away a Summer's evening.)
Really nice panorama. I should point out though (as a resident of Saltford!) that the pub is hidden behind the yacht club on the left. The Jolly Sailor - a fine establishment! I really like the cloud formations as well - and don't mind that the image is angled - it adds a certain something.
Cloud alignment is cool... if you could paint as good as you take panos, the National Gallery would seek a visit with you.

The remnants of Ike blew threw my area the other week. I was without power for 5 days and off work for four, so I read!
Read the Fighting First, about the First Infantry Division in WWII with a focus on Omaha Beach. Very good book.
Once I finished that one, I started D-Day by Gilbert. It was like a D-day lite book. It was enjoyable, but I wish the author would've went more into detail on some facts, but I can look into some of those on my own.

By Tiernan Ray
Shares of solar energy technology provider First Solar (FSLR) are off $2.44, or 11%, at $20.11, breaking what had been a run up in the last month or so, after Avian Securities's Mark Bachman today cut his rating on the shares from "Positive" to "Negative," warning that "a reliability issue related to the module junction box on First Solar modules is surfacing."
First Solar, contends Bachman, has been contacting customers to remedy a problem with the so-called junction box that could pose a danger:
We believe the problem is related to the attachment method of affixing the junction box to the back of the module. More specifically, the core plate of the junction box can become exposed, which could pose a danger in terms of electrical shock or possible fire hazard. The core plate of the junction box is the connection point between the module body and lead wires. This is particularly troublesome for rooftop applications, and less so for utility scale solar fields. We believe the company is actively contacting customers in order to replace modules that are in rooftop applications, while also offering a repair procedure for those modules in free-field systems.
Reuters's Sunayan Bhattacharjee and Nicola Groom this afternoon write that a First Solar spokesperson "confirmed the problem but said it would not have a significant impact on earnings." There are 232,000 solar panel modules in the field that can develop a problem with a "loose cord plate," First Solar told the reporters.
The company knows which ones they are and is "working proactively with the system owners to repair or replace the affected modules consistent with our warranty.
Update: First Solar's statement on the matter in its entirety is as follows:
First Solar has determined there are approximately 232,000 modules in the field, manufactured between October 2008 and June 2009, which may over time develop a loose cord plate attachment. We know the serial numbers of the affected modules and are working proactively with the system owners to repair or replace the affected modules consistent with our workmanship warranty. For roof-mounted systems we also will remove and replace the affected modules at no cost to the system owner, which is above and beyond our standard workmanship warranty. The issue is not expected to have a significant impact on earnings and was considered in the updated financial guidance for 2012 that we announced on August 1st.

Wisconsin promotes day to return unused drugs
Collection sites to take drugs April 27
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin residents will be able to safely dispose of unused prescription drugs at sites all around the state on April 27.
Sites are being set up in the state and across the country as part of the national prescription drug "take back" day. Anyone with unwanted, expired or unused prescription drugs can drop them off for free at any of the designated sites.
At last year's event, more than 30 tons of prescription drugs were dropped off during two different "take back" days in Wisconsin. Nationally, about 244 tons was collected.

Captain's ReportTested By Capt. Bob SmithThis year Cobalt is releasing a new model to the lineup. The 272 seems to be following quickly in the tracks of its bigger sister the 343. Handling, speed and thrill factors seem to be in line and the amenities include a cuddy for getting out of the sun or putting the little ones down for an afternoon nap.Cockpit FeaturesCobalt uses gas assist shocks on just about everything that opens on this boat, even the anchor/swim ladder locker up front. The swim ladder is shaped to wrap over the bow and reach all the way to the water. Six people can fit in the bow seating without a shoe horn. Pull the fillers out and a few can have even more space. Each side has grab rails and cup holders and there is even a removable trash bin up front. Easy care snap in carpet makes clean up a snap. Under the carpet up front is a large storage area. The storage space under the helm makes the life jacket kit seem small. A flip over windshield with positive catch along with a bi-fold door keeps the chilly air out of the cockpit in the fall and early spring.In the cockpit, the center floor storage space is large enough for skis and other large boards or lots of small stuff. Bucket seats have hefty stainless steel grab bars and a chart pocket in the back. The seats have swivel and slide adjustments so the companion rider can watch the skier or both can face the friends in conversation at anchor. My test boat had something many of us can appreciate, it had adjustable lumbar support. The line between luxury cars and boats continues to blur. At the ControlsThe helm has a three spoke wood wheel and the instrument panel has wood accents. This isn't the faux wood most builders are using, it is the real deal. All the switches have circuit breakers and they are backed up by main breakers in the back. This is just one more example of Cobalt doing much more than is required. A stereo remote and digital air/water temperature and depth gauges round out the neatly appointed helm station.Seating Abounds The seating in the cockpit wraps all the way from the helm to the companion seat. Don't get too worried about where the drinks are going to rest for the crowd, there are twelve of them arranged around the boat and they are all stainless steel. The ones in the back even have a light so they are easy to find in the dark. The seat bottoms are double hinged to keep them where they belong and ours had an inflator for the water toys in the back along with the battery switches and fire extinguisher.Time to RelaxThe sun pad doubles as the engine hatch which is electrically operated on two rams and two monster hinges, stainless steel, of course. Why, because it is a Cobalt! Cobalt uses a rubber gasket around the lip of the lid and rubber bumpers on the corners for good fit and to eliminate the fiberglass to fiberglass rubbing noise many boats have. The sun pad has an adjustable headrest that can be angled or dropped to lengthen it. The ski tow post is stowable and it is easy to pop up and lock into place. This gives you optimum height for the tow ropes. The bottom of the post even has a drain so it doesn't drip on the engine, it goes into the bilge. The stern platform has a wrap-around stainless bumper to protect against dock strikes and on the starboard side you have a dandy swim ladder with wide step.SpecsCobalt's all new 272 is 26'8" in length overall and has an 8'6" beam. With her drive up, she commands 22" draft and with the drive down she commands 39" draft. Bridge clearance with the beefy stainless steel ski tower is 82". Her dry weight is only 4,700lbs, less than the 250 or 255! She carries 70 gallons of fuel and 10 gallons of fresh water. Got more than a few friends who want to come along? The 272 is Yacht certified. She delivers a smooth dry ride and has 34" freeboard forward and 21" aft.Ride and PerformanceWhen we took the 272 out on the lake, we had two people on board with ½ a tank of fuel and attacked the 1-2 foot chop from a building afternoon storm. It didn't matter to this boat she took on the waves and didn't let them slow her down. We found her best cruise speed at 2500rpms which is 25.9mph burning 8.1gph. At cruise you can expect to get about 237 miles on a full tank of fuel. When you push the throttles to wide open, you find you are running at 4650rpms and 52.2mph and a fuel burn of 29.9gph. Sound levels were within expected levels with 69dBa at idle, 79dBa at cruise and 90 at wide open throttle. She is on plane in just 4.2 seconds and at thirty miles per hour in 6.8 seconds. Our test model had a 375-hp MerCruiser 496 MAG sterndrive installed. Cobalt offers multiple engine options for you to drive off to your favorite destination.

There's no spoilers allowed in this thread.
The new movie is about a year and 7 months away.
Some of you have read the spoilers, and some of you know only what Lucasfilm's determined is O.K. to let leak.
Still, others of you have just been unable to not speculate on what the movie will bring, knowing nothing but the information you have from having seen Episodes 4, 5, and 6.
Finally, many of you have opinions about where the Star Wars saga has traveled with the hindsight of having seen Episodes 1 and 2.
At this time, how do you expect to feel about Episode 3?

Features of Nearly Me® Body Guard® Pressure Pads/Patches
The Nearly Me® brand of mastectomy products was founded in 1976 by Ruth Handler who was also the creator of Mattel's Barbie® Doll. Following a modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer, she had difficulty finding a comfortable, realistic, beautiful, and easy-to-purchase breast prosthesis. She had the resources to design and develop a breast form for herself, and thus, created the Nearly Me® brand so that other women could have access to the same high-quality breast prostheses.
Nearly Me® mastectomy products have been on the market over 30 years and continue to create products that fit the physical as well as the emotional needs of women following mastectomy. Their goal is "to help women look and feel beautiful after breast surgery".

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
Funny you bring that up. Are we now supposed you are wanting all to buy into the fact you are NOT a hypocrite? You Obama sycophants are all the same. Hayel YES, those of us that actually do believe in the Constitution and the 2nd amendment will always wonder just who the hayel you are when you vote Democrat and KNOW that batch of bastards are all in lock step with the regime, and will always vote against what we Americans find important.
Amazingly, even your Senator, the Democrat that isn't even playing any longer with a full deck, voted against that bill. GFF eh? Somehow even he got the message that this bill had nothing to do with just background checks...we already have plenty of those laws. And he isn't up for re-election, so no possible motive other than to believe that bill was a phoney attempt at getting more laws to hinder law-abiding citizens, and NOTHING to do with making it harder for criminals, or providing more protection for school kids or movie goers. Only fools like you that helped elect this oligarchy, and still believe they aren't after a complete confiscation of all guns, continue to genuflect at every bill the Democrats and RINOs want passed so this administration will further their goal to get every gun out of the hands of the law-abiding people.
Just a small reminder that you have obviously forgotten: "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns." Cliche'd, I know, but still true.
PS FWIW, What is your definition of "majority"? When most of the Senators vote against the bill, that's not a "majority" in you Democrat mind?

Subal Kumbhakar named SUNY Distinguished Professor
The State University of New York Board of Trustees has appointed Binghamton University economics professor, Subal Kumbhakar, to a distinguished professorship.
A letter from Chancellor John Ryan noted that Kumbhakar has made "seminal contributions in developing the new field of frontier analysis" and done "pioneering work in the econometric estimation of efficiency, productivity and technical change."
Kumbhakar, who holds master's and doctoral degrees in economics from the University of Southern California, came to Binghamton in 2001 from the University of Texas at Austin, where he had taught since 1986.
Very few people attain the rank of distinguished professor. Fewer than 20 Binghamton faculty members and professors emeritus now hold the title, which is awarded to individuals who have achieved national or international prominence and a distinguished reputation in their field.
Kumbhakar traveled a long road to Binghamton University. He's from a remote village in India, a community so small that in ninth grade Kumbhakar did not have the traditional choice of studying the sciences. There simply was no science curriculum available at his school. He was, however, one of five students chosen for a special math class.
When he arrived at college in Calcutta, he found economics the most appealing subject. After graduation from Calcutta University, he taught at a university before leaving for the United States. His studies took him to California and then to Texas, where he taught for about 15 years.

John Byrne talks to Colm Meaney about his latest role, playing singer Paul Potts' father in the biopic One Chance.
The nights are drawing in, it's getting colder, the Budget's been announced and there are more price increases on the way to put even more pressure on people. If ever we needed cheering-up, now would be good.
In times of austerity such as now, feel-good movies are almost essential in order to brighten up our days a little. Perfect timing comes in the shape of One Chance, a highly entertaining biopic of Paul Potts, the Welsh singer who managed to make his dreams come true.
Played by James Corden (of Gavin & Stacey fame), Potts is the Carphone Warehouse manager from Port Talbot in Wales whose reality TV victory on ITV show Britain's Got Talent turned him into a platinum-selling tenor. And this is his story.
The Devil Wears Prada and Marley & Me's director David Frankel is the man in charge of the clapperboard here, in a comedy-drama that brings movies such as Billy Elliot, The Full Monty and Rocky to mind.
Julie Walters plays Paul Potts' mother, while Dubliner Colm Meaney does the honours as Mr Potts.
John Byrne: It's one thing acting in a movie and quite another viewing the finished article. Are you happy with the way One Chance turned out?
Colm Meaney: I was just thrilled with it. You laugh, you cry – which is always good – you walk out with a smile on your face. It's ultimately a very uplifting film and anyone going to see it is in for a treat.
Just what we need right now – a bit of cheering-up?
I know people are having tough times and economically we're still in the doldrums, a lot of it of our own making, but this story – I wasn't familiar with it, I'm not familiar with British television – I didn't know the Paul Potts story. I thought he was a Cambodian dictator! It's really an uplifting story. The guy went through an awful lot of adversity and there were times he came close to giving it all up and quitting. And that's why the payoff at the end of the film is so big, because the guy has been through so much.
It's pretty much an inspirational story - as is your career, given that you came from humble beginnings in Dublin to become a Star Trek institution and enjoy a long career in movies...
I never thought of it that way... If young fellas grow up in Dublin, and grow up thinking of having a career in whatever field and believe that they can do it, well that's great.
And what was it like working with Julie Walters?
I've loved her since Educating Rita. She's an amazing and wonderful actress – she's just unique. And I finally got a chance to work with her, and she's a doll – a great character.
Julie's role as the mother is encouraging of Paul Potts, while your character's a more practical kind of person...
It's a classic situation. A working-class kid from a working-class background, and he decides he wants to be an opera singer. I can actually relate to this because it's a bit like me telling me da in Finglas: 'I want to be an actor'. And he's like: 'A what?'
And I think people see the dad in the movie as the bad guy, in a way, but in fact it's a perfectly understandable reaction. You want to make sure that your kid is alright. You want to make sure that he has a job. And also, just from an emotional point of view, you don't want him going out there and setting himself up for ridicule.
You're trying to knock some sense into them. 'Look, man – do your singing in the shower or whatever, but get on with it and get a job, and look after yourself'.
A Belfast Story was out recently in cinemas and you're still involved in Hell on Wheels on TV. You're certainly kept busy.
It's busy, yeah. Hell on Wheels is a great show and I love doing it. It's a great character. We've done three seasons and there will be a decision towards the end of the year whether to pick it up or not. But the numbers have been very good in America this year.
One Chance is on general release from October 25.

Looking for a classic seafood dinner? Enjoy this salmon recipe made with soy sauce in 25 minutes.
Why it Works: Flaky Fish
Would you ever confuse a salmon steak for a porterhouse or pork chop? While vastly different in color and flavor, the texture alone sets fish apart from other meats. This difference has much to do with where the animals live and how they use their muscles. Land animals, like chickens and pigs, spend most of their time moving fairly slowly. Their muscles are grouped in long, thin bundles; when cooked, you need a knife to cut through the muscle. Fish, on the other hand, need quick movement in the water in order to swim. Their muscles are short and round; when cooked, their muscles separate and become flaky.

The Tupelo Futbol Club '98 Girls reached the U.S. Youth Soccer Southern Regional Championships last year after winning a state title. This time, they'd like to stick around a little longer.
The TFC '98 team left Mississippi on Wednesday and opens play in Edmond, Okla., on Friday afternoon.
"We have girls on our team from all over northeast Mississippi – Tupelo, Saltillo, Amory, Oxford, Lafayette, Starkville and TCPS," said Diane Rulewicz, who's in her first season as head coach.
"Last year at the regionals, this team didn't get out of the first round," Rulewicz said. "I'm expecting them to maybe get past the second round."
It won't be easy. Her team is in a pool with the state champions of Oklahoma, South Carolina and north Texas. "It's a tough group," Rulewicz said.
Pool play continues through Sunday, with the top teams advancing to Monday's quarterfinals. The semifinals and finals are June 26-27.
The TFC '98 squad is on a roll, having won five tournaments in a row at the end of their season and all four of their games – by an 11-2 margin – at the recent state championship tournament in Meridian.
They've outscored their opponents 57-29 in 19 games with 12 wins and two draws.
"A lot of teams play what I call 'kick and run' soccer but we play a lot of possession soccer," Rulewicz said. "We prefer to attack together as a group."
Regional winners will earn a berth in the US Youth Soccer National Championships, scheduled for July in Kansas.
Starkville Bulldogs
The first team from Starkville to win a state title, the SSA Bulldogs U16 boys team, is also making the journey to Edmond. The Bulldogs defeated Tupelo in a three-match series at Meridian, winning the State Cup 3-0 and 2-0 after a 1-0 loss.
"The defensive effort from our team was exceptional," coach Erik Mylroie said. "We played 270 minutes and only gave up one goal. That is an impressive accomplishment."
The Bulldogs are in a pool with state champions from Oklahoma, Tennessee and Louisiana and will open play Friday morning.

NATCHEZ – In all of my visits to this beautiful river town, how have I missed the estate called Longwood? The mansions with their fanciful names run together if you see too many in one trip, but I've made many trips, toured many grand homes. Never, until recently, Longwood.
I now have a new favorite. The brochures say "Longwood is maintained in its unfinished state by the Pilgrimage Garden Club as a poignant reminder of past glories and tragedies."
It might have added, "and a reminder of interrupted dreams, lost fortunes and making do with less."
Now this is a mansion to which any modest homeowner can relate. There's work that never got done, and never will.
Billed as "the largest octagonal house in America" and "a superb example of the mid-nineteenth century 'Oriental Villa' style," its six floors, 30,000 square feet and Byzantine-Moorish dome with 24-foot finial are not something you see in every subdivision, true.
But the homeowner's story, when stripped to its bones, is familiar. Grand plans. Life's complications. Fleeing workmen. Living forever in a construction site.
A Philadelphia architect named Samuel Sloan designed the home in 1859 for cotton planter Haller Nutt and his wife Julia. Work began in 1860 and was going great guns till April, 1861. Then great guns really did get involved.
When the Civil War started, Sloan's Yankee craftsmen "dropped their tools and fled North." Having worked with a lot of "craftsmen," to use the term loosely, I've seen the dropping of tools and fleeing from a lot less than Civil War. I've seen the dropping-of-tools for a rain shower, deer hunting season and hangovers.
Nutt used "local workers" – read that, slaves – to finish the basement as living quarters. He died in 1864, but Julia and their eight children lived in the basement until 1897. I bet she at times hated the house, the majority of it not useable, the ostentatious exterior a false promise.
Now when I write "basement," don''t envision an Anne Frank situation with a big family huddled in a closet. This basement would hold every house I've ever owned side by side. It is huge, and was furnished well.
But the Nutts had to feel frustration that their unfinished dream loomed above them, mocking the former glory of wealth and privilege.
When the garden club ladies bought the mansion, they had to promise never to alter Longwood, to leave it unfinished. So now the effect – above the basement – is akin to walking around a carpenter's attic. There are bare boards and plunder all about, skeletal cubbies for statuary and glass that never arrived.
I kept humming in my head the old song "Satisfied Mind." Once I was wading in fortune and fame/Everything that I've dreamed for to get a start in life's game/But suddenly it happened/I lost every dime/But I'm richer by far/With a satisfied mind.
I guess we can hope the Nutts came to terms with their circumstance, living without a few thousand extra square feet and five extra floors, but with satisfied minds.

|A little line here, a sag or bag there—your body may be giving away your age, or even making you look older than you really are. But here we've got the best ways to tackle these trouble spots, with at-home fixes or with the latest medical technology.
(Getty Images)
|Childbirth, certain medications, and stress all can cause temporary hair loss, but hormonal shifts that happen around menopause may lead to permanent thinning.
At home: Beginning from the scalp, gently pull a small hank of hair all the way to the tips of the hair. If more than six hairs come out, you have a thinning problem. Dexter Phillip, owner of New York City's DEX salon, recommends Esuchen Hair Care products to add body and shine. Another option: Rogaine, which is available over the counter.
At the doc's: Ask for blood tests to rule out lupus, thyroid disease, or anemia. Hair loss is often a sign that something else is wrong, so take it seriously.
(Getty Images)
|Nora Ephron wasn't the only woman in America to feel bad about her neck. Crepey skin leads to the dreaded "turkey neck."
At home: Pamper delicate neck skin with a moisturizer that contains peptides for collagen production. To draw attention away from your neck, look for tops with ruffles or prints or wear a long necklace, says Alison Deyette, wardrobe expert for TLC's 10 Years Younger.
At the doc's: Fraxel laser treatments can improve the skin's texture, while Botox can soften vertical lines. Some doctors use Thermage or ReFirme, radiofrequency and light devices, to stimulate production of collagen in the neck.
(Getty Images)
|Loss of tissue and fat makes breasts lose their fullness. Gravity, breast-feeding, lack of proper support, and lower levels of estrogen make the girls head south.
At home: Stand sideways in front of a mirror with your elbows bent to 90 degrees. The fullest part of your breasts should hit halfway between your elbows and shoulders, says Patti Ficorilli, a bra fitter for Maidenform. If they're low, tighten the straps. If they're still dragging or if your bra hikes up in back, it's time to get a new bra.
At the store: Ask for a professional fitting. Once you know your size, try on several different styles. Seamed cups offer the most support. If you're full-busted, consider minimizer styles, which can make you look up to an inch smaller.
(Getty Images)
|A loss of collagen leads to less volume, making veins stand out more. Brown spots and other signs of sun damage begin to make their debut, too.
At home: Apply a sunscreen daily on the backs of your hands to prevent further sun damage. Keep hands well-hydrated, says New York City cosmetic dermatologist Lisa Airan, MDs. And ditch the dark polish—pale shades look more modern and take the focus off your hands, says Rodrica Constantin, national trainer for nails at the Red Door Spas.
At the doc's: Laser treatments can repair sun damage, and fillers can plump up hands that have seen better days. There's also photodynamic therapy (a light-based treatment typically used to fade age spots), which may stimulate collagen production.
(Getty Images)
|Years of punishing your feet in ill-fitting shoes can cause painful bunions, cracked heels, and calluses.
At home: Moisturize cracked heels at bedtime. Shop for comfortable shoe brands like Aerosoles, Söfft, or Cole Haan, which builds Nike Air cushioning into dress shoes and boots.
At the doc's: Cortisone injections or surgery are options for painful bunions.
(Getty Images)
|Changing hormones can make eyebrows and lashes sparse. Years of over-tweezing damage the eyebrow follicles, making it harder for hairs to grow back.
At home: Jeannie Mai, makeup expert for TLC's "10 Years Younger," suggests this trick for covering thin spots: Use a small-angled brush to fill in with soft strokes of pressed eye shadow in a shade that matches your hair color. False lashes are another option. "I put them on when I'm having a tired day, and it makes a huge difference," says Amanda Sanders of New York Image Consultants.
At the doc's: Ask your doctor about Latisse (bimatoprost), an Rx solution used to treat glaucoma that's also approved by the FDA to stimulate eyelash growth.
(Getty Images)
|A loss of collagen and elasticity reduces skin volume, causing fine lines and wrinkles. Repeated muscle motions—laughing, squinting at the computer screen, sipping lattes through a straw—etch crow's-feet around the eyes and marionette lines near the mouth.
At home: Prevention is the best treatment, says Tina B. West, MD, a cosmetic dermatologist in Atlanta. She suggests adding these basics to your skin-care routine: antioxidants (which help fight free radicals), sunscreen (look for an SPF of at least 30), and retinoids.
At the doc's: See a doctor for treatments like Botox, fillers, and lasers. In general, think Botox for the upper part of the face (forehead lines, that crinkle between your eyes) and fillers for the lower half (laugh lines, thin lips).
(Getty Images)
|Tooth enamel wears away over time, exposing yellow beneath and making your smile gummy and more prone to stains.
At home: Brush-on whitening gels in trays tend to work better than strips, says cosmetic dentist Debra Glassman.
At the doc's: Debra Gray King, a cosmetic dentist in Atlanta and an expert on ABC's "Extreme Makeover," says Zoom! Professional Teeth Whitening gives the best results: "In less than an hour, your teeth can get five shades whiter."

Focus on Funds
It's a Golden Day for Gold ETFs
It's been a bad time for gold miners, with companies forced to cut jobs, slash spending plans and write down asset values after the precious metal price plunged 23% during the second quarter.
But with gold prices up Tuesday for a second day, shares of Barrick Gold (ABX), the world's largest producer, rose 5.6% to almost $16, and other mining concerns followed suit, pulling exchange-traded funds linked to gold and the mining industry along for the ride.
Direxion Daily Gold Miner Bull 3x Shares (NUGT) soared 13.2% to $6.32, delivering the biggest intraday gains of any ETF tracked by Barrons.com, while its alter ego, the Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bears 3X Shares (DUST) fell 12.6% to $99.
Meanwhile, the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) rose 4.2% to $25.32. The PowerShares Global Gold & Precious Metals Portfolio (PSAU) rose 3.3% to $20.42. And the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) rose 0.44% t0 $124.73.
J.P. Morgan analysts John Bridges and Anant Inani wrote:
Miners are being forced to think very seriously about their businesses and how to ensure it's the right shape for the new environment. It's too late to change past decisions but managements can act constructively. Rahm Emanuel famously said "You never let a serious crisis go to waste". Accounting rules will force write downs on producers. What is going to be more telling is what managements do to improve the operations. Cost cutting is a given but the miners may need to restructure from a shape that was optimized for the 12 year bull market in gold to one that is more suited to a future with less available liquidity… We hope to see a stronger industry begin to emerge from this quarter's results but have no illusions this will be quick.
Granted, the outlook for gold prices remains mixed. Today, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. trimmed 11% and 18% from its forecasts for 2013 and 2014 respectively. Still, it sees metal price averaging $1,413/oz this year and $1,414/oz in 2014.
Yesterday, meanwhile, Citigroup said it expects gold prices to push through $1,100/oz by the end of the year.

Scientists Reject Global Warming: 1.6% of International Scientists Reject the Idea of Human Generated
Original post made by Debunking Global Warming Myth, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on May 16, 2013
As researchers under the guidance of John Cook at Skeptical Science discovered in a "citizen science" survey of 11,944 peer-reviewed articles, 1.6 percent of the authors expressing an opinion on the subject rejected or were uncertain about the consensus that the earth is undergoing anthropogenic (human-generated) global warming (AGW).
And 97.1 percent of the nearly 4,000 articles in which the author(s) took a position endorsed the AGW consensus. (The survey was published May 15 in Environmental Research Letters as an open access article.)

So let me get this straight. I want to make sure i understand this completely. If 1.6% of international scientist debunk global warming...that means 98.4% believe it is real. Mmmmmm, I will go with the majority on this one.

Let us all hope and pray that the Obama administration doesn't try to capitalize on the tragedy in Moore, Oklahoma, to raise our taxes for things like tornado detection, tornado preparedness, and tornado response teams. The whole global warming hysteria has really gotten out of control. As recent studies indicate, higher carbon emissions are actually better for enhanced plant life. Duh. Why is everyone concerned about greenhouse effects when many of us would love to have greenhouse effects in our own backyards for tomato plants, cucumbers, and radishes.

God damn Debunking... you're post almost doesn't deserve the justification of a comment because of the utter ignorance of actual scientific evidence.
Start here: Web Link
Or here: Web Link
If that's too much reading for you I understand. But at least inform yourself what 97% of scientists agree on (not liberal media, but actual peer-reviewed scientists) before you let your dumb fingers hit the keyboard.
I spend my entire day trying to teach Pleasanton kids to not turn out like you.

The attitudes toward Jedi in the OT really don't jive very well with the prequels and associated EU. Like you said, Tarkin talks about Jedi like they're backwards weirdos. Except for Vader (and, later, as we find out, Palpatine), the Empire constantly goes for bigger machines. There's no sign that anyone else in the Empire places any stock in the Force.
Plus, you have plenty of guys like Han, who are "Force atheists." People simply don't seem to believe in the Force. Luke's never even heard of it. At all. Or a lightsaber.
The only people who refer to the Force are Vader and Obi-Wan (who clearly use and put a lot of stock in it), Motti (who mockingly calls it Vader's "sorcerer ways" until he gets a demonstration), and Dodonna (who's older than dirt). IIRC, Leia doesn't even mention it.
And there's obviously no one who Luke can talk with about the Force. At all. He picks up a few tricks on his own before he learns about Yoda, but not much. Certainly, if he'd had any exposure (or, heck, something like a training manual), he should be a little better at it after three years, especially if he can get so full-on Jedi by the end of ESB (after presumably a few weeks on Dagobah).
So, it seems like the Jedi worked in obscurity, seen mostly as legends by people who didn't know of their deeds defending the Republic, who mostly were completely ignorant of the Force or saw it as an outdated belief system.
And, now, we learn that, just a mere eighteen years before, the Jedi were essentially celebrities, and the Force was used openly and widely. According to several sources, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were, because of their exploits in the Clone Wars, two of the best-known individuals in the entire galaxy. Even Yoda was a household name. That's like saying that the American troops in the Gulf War were all 70-foot tall cyborgs who transformed into Porsches and guest-hosted Saturday Night Live, but no one believes that now.
No one ever said to Luke growing up, "Hey, Skywalker--any relation to that hotshot pilot Jedi dude from the Clone Wars?" He must've told someone at some point about his training on Dagobah, even if it just Leia. Surely her dad would've mentioned the galaxy-famous leader of the Jedi, right? Hell, Yoda was friends with Chewbacca! And Luke was babbling about Yoda when Han found him on Hoth--did no one ever put two and two together? "Yoda? You mean a short dude, about yay high, like this he talks? I knew that guy!"
The Empire's propaganda machine simply could not be that effective. Not after just eighteen years, with so clearly a limited reach on so many worlds.
And, if there are so many non-Sith Dark Side users, why not simply replace the old Jedi Order with a new one, and make it look like nothing has changed?

Bye, bye Atlantis!
Yep, it was so long since last post that even the age of the space shuttles has ended. We'll miss them for sure.
And once again I have to recover an old post to reinstall the macbook because of yet another disk failure. This made me realize that:
- Hitachi disks are crap :-P but unfortunately there's the only 7 mm SATA disks available right now here on online shops (bigger ones have gone 9.5 mm thick, not suitable for this macbook).
- Since two years ago price has dropped 40% for the same size :-)
- SSDs are still too expensive for mere mortals, unless you want to sacrifice a lot of space.
Instead the good'n'old Lenny, this time I used the latest point release for Squeeze, 6.0.2, which has been released a couple of weeks ago. The basics of installing Debian on the macbook with MacOS X and an encrypted root partition are still the same:
- Make all partitions with the MacOS installer diskutil: one for MacOS X (~30 GiB), other for /boot (~4 GiB) and the rest for Debian's root (~260 GiB). The later ones formatted as Unix filesystem, never empty space. These will be /dev/sda2, /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda4 because /dev/sda1 is already used by the EFI partition.
- Customize the MacOS X Tiger install so it install a minimal system (~5 GiB) from the first DVD. I don't have a band in my garage (there's just room for the car), neither want a Office or iWorks trial wasting space. In addition this makes this part much faster, and future upgrades to Leopard too!
- Install rEFIt on MacOS X and reboot to see it works and boots MacOS X.
- Boot into Squeeze installer CD/DVD (press 'C' for a while after the macbook startup ta-dah sound), setup partitions /boot and / on a encrypted volume, and install a minimal system (will be overwritten again, so no need to waste time installing).
- The Debian wiki's theory is to install everything but the bootloader, which I followed.
- The next is to reboot, enter rEFIt disk partitioning tool and synchronize the MBR with GPT.
- The installer doesn't recognize the encrypted partition, so I had to setup it again, exactly the same as before and reinstall the system and now the GRUB bootloader into /dev/sda3.
- Unfortunately here, due my excessive minimalistic second installation, I ended with a bootable system, but without root password or any other user.
- Fortunately the Squeeze DVD has a rescue mode in the main menu (after rebooting), which is able to mount the encrypted partition and drop you to a root shell there, so everything can be fixed and even run tasksel to install the rest of the system. Of course this is not the recommended method ;-) but works in case of need.
There's no swap partition in this schema. Instead part of the /boot space is there to create a 2 GiB swap file. There's no difference with 2.6 kernels in running the swap on a file or on a disk partition.
Last step is to speed-up boot time by blessing the boot partition from MacOS X. Figure out the partition name with disktutil list:
/dev/disk0 #: type name size identifier 0: GUID_partition_scheme *298.1 GB disk0 1: EFI 200.0 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS MACOSX 29.9 GB disk0s2 3: EFI 3.9 GB disk0s3 4: Microsoft Basic Data 263.8 GB disk0s4
And then sudo bless --device /dev/disk0s3 --setBoot --legacy --verbose, if your boot partition is the third like mine.
Funny to see the encrypted partition appear as MS data under MacOS X :-)

Where have all the good men gone? Ask women, too
If you believe, as I do, that people respond to models, incentives, and the marketplace, this is not very surprising. The dark side of feminism was creating a relationship environment that put relatively little if any qualifications on any man before you take him to bed, and even less after. If young men are ever going to stop treating women like objects and instead like creatures of value, then women have to stop behaving like objects and stop confusing a wicked strut with life-affirming power. That ship has long since sailed.
Lena Dunham's genius is in recognizing this truth, though she's hardly the first. I think of Dunham as her generation's Rachel Wetzsteon, a tragic figure and a brilliant poet, who anticipated much about the movement of the sexes toward this modern collapse.
Lena Dunham's the single most overestimated entertainment talent of my lifetime.
Robert_Paulson on February 17, 2013 at 9:51 PM
Where have all the good men gone?
Maybe they just don't think women are worth the effort of a serious relationship anymore?
sharrukin on February 17, 2013 at 9:55 PM
I don't want to sound like an old fart even though I'm getting close. Just watch "House Hunters" or pretty much any show anymore and see all of these self absorbed "princesses" acting like the world revolves around them. "Oh, I don't like those counter tops, they are so 2007."

englishqueen01 on February 17, 2013 at 10:15 PM
A big part of the problem is that when feminists cried double standard they chose to act like the worst of men. They thought that acting like animals in regards to sex would make things better but instead many are finding empty lives while scrambling to have kids at age 43.
Far too many women chose to lower standards rather than raising them. When they whined that women were looked down on for sleeping around while men were not they should have said to men you're not getting any unless you're honest and loyal….but that would have been too hard and no fun. Where'd that get ya?

I'll tell you what happened. Allahpundit has a special algorithm that switches the button functions every so often. Then they get switched back so the IT guy can't find anything wrong, if someone complains.
It's a passive aggressive thing. Kittehs are involved somehow, I think.

My wife's sister says she would move from her home in Seattle to here in Dallas if she could find a man like me. I was flattered until I realized this is what she was talking about; men are being conditioned to believe that the traditional "husband" values are just wasted effort.
When the Liberals succeed in destroying all traditional societal values their reward is societal collapse.

I'm having trouble relating to this complaint. I've got a son who fits the bill well and is attached to a very nice woman and six nephews who fit the bill, four of which found good women to fit that bill. I have three nieces who do also one who found a good man already.
My neighbor has a daughter who does and is married to a husband who does. They have a son in a similar match up.
There are two guys who live across the street that are eminently qualified, one attached. I don't know much about her.
There's a few more but lets add up what I've mentioned so far — 12 good men, 9 good women, 7 marriages, two good significant others.
I suppose the problem exists but I certainly don't see it. Maybe these people complaining are frequenting the wrong fishing holes or using the wrong bait.
Dusty on February 17, 2013 at 10:35 PM
Stopped reading at those three words that should never be together.
As for where have the good guys gone. Some have gone to rural areas, churches, or even other countries to seek out women who aren't Flukes and feminists. Others just look at the entire landscape and see no hope in the direction of romance; they've gone to hobby shops, Skyrim, and Youtube.

Re: the woman who cursed him for opening a door:
I know this problem exists, but I'm lucky I don't see it much. The men here (except for the street-scum louts) are chivalrous, and the women like it that way. As the only middle aged lady wandering the ammo aisles at Academy on a Friday, I feel like Queen Elizabeth–men jumping out of my way and saying "'scuse me, ma'am" at every turn I take. Of course those are the hunter/country boy types in the gun aisles. They tend to have more formal manners. Or maybe it's that an armed society makes for a polite society.
juliesa on February 17, 2013 at 10:59 PM
Personally I am waiting until after the ruling class' ponzy scheme collapses to start a family. If I survive the collapse and if the forces of liberty can prevent the forces of tyranny from taking advantage of the terrible consequences of their own folly and corruption, then I would desperately like to start a family on the other side of the crash when there there is a resurgence of liberty and reason to hope. I'm 42 and want to start a family, what I lack is hope for the future. My greatest fear is that the ruling class will be able to continue their ponzy scheme via generational theft (a crime against my progeny) and money printing, turning a necessary short crash to shake out the bad guys at the top, followed by a new spring of freedom, into a long, slow descent into tyranny with the same bad guys at the top all the while. As long as tyranny appears to be winning I will not be starting a family I don't imagine, and I'm not getting any younger. I don't want my progeny to be enslaved to a technologically enforced global tyranny that I fear may never be undone.
FloatingRock on February 17, 2013 at 11:00 PM
In order to empower and enrich themselves, our corrupt ruling class of generational thieves are mortgaging the futures of the children I would like to someday have, turning them into serfs if not slaves. Knowing this, I will not condemn my children to a life of servitude to the ruling class, they will have to find their slaves somewhere else.
FloatingRock on February 17, 2013 at 11:32 PM
If we can somehow topple the generational thieves at the top so I had reason to hope for the future again I would very much like to start a family.

There are plenty of good men left in the 18-24 range. Myself and several very close friends are decent young men.
It seems to me a vast majority of socially outgoing females in my age group are either entitled little princesses, or extremely insecure about themselves. Or both.
That either think they deserve the perfect male specimen (without being anywhere near perfection themselves). Or they go for the jerks who play on their insecurities, undermining them to make them think that they don't deserve better. The sad thing is, when they get a guy that treats them well, they will leave him so fast it will make your head spin. It has nothing to do with confidence. Girls nowadays WANT to be treated like crap. So much for that feminism huh?
YoungAmerican on February 18, 2013 at 12:10 AM
I'm suddenly having a lot of Internet problems, which although probably unrelated, I'd like to point out that the word "topple", according to my Websters dictionary, does not imply the use of force. Voting them all out within the parameters of the Constitution is topple.

"Guys talk about 'Star Wars' like it's not a movie made for people half their age; a guy's idea of a perfect night is a hang around the PlayStation with his bandmates, or a trip to Vegas with his college friends."
a) I'm 60 and I love Star Wars — well, the original one. Was it made for someone half my age? If you think so, you are not the woman for me.
b) PlayStation with his bandmates — well, I don't like video games, but if I did, I might choose a woman who respects my hobbies, even if she chooses not to participate in them herself. In an earlier era, that would have been the huge train layout in the garage, and nowadays — it's a game console.
c) Trip to Vegas. I hate Vegas. My wife loves it. I go with her. She understands. So do I. It's called respect and love.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: In this case, you'll see a number of pages taken from sketchbooks that Hopper used in Paris.
CARTER FOSTER: Hopper goes to Paris three times. The first time was for an extended trip in 1906, 1907. And the French capital had a huge effect on him. He already was interested in French culture and it only made him more interested. And letters that Hopper wrote back to his family when he was studying there correlate really well to these drawings. He describes being fascinated by café life and how different it was from street life in New York. He was fascinated by social class and by the different types of costumes that people were wearing. You can really see that in these sketches, which were done probably very quickly from life, from direct observation while he was sitting in cafés and in parks and on the street.

"Kaufhof" had a 20% off everything offer so I bought Hangar Anakin and 2 Clonetrooper Commanders for 8 euros (7.76$) each! yes I finally got them and I love them! they're great

text: Im with ya RL....... well said.JDog, I can assure you I am anything but scared. The marxist,socialist,anarchist,gltg,gimmedat,parasite s in Your Party can't handle life without the Gubment helping them by confiscating money from the producers. The Hag said it so well, "We're rolling downhill like a snowball headed for Hell" and I just believe if we hurry up and get there my kids might have a chance to put this third world shit hole back together. The mentality of Your Party has turned everything they have touched into a cesspool of human waste since 1965 (LBJ Great Society). You believe if we just try a little harder, give a little more, understand and care, participate with the Goobment, it'll be awright. The older I get (48 this year) the more militant and extreme I become. I see cities like Atlanta, Houston, Detriot, Chicargo, LA, Miami, and any others with more Gimmedats than producers turned into shit holes through selective Breeding. If and when the shit hits the fan, I have a place to hunker down, ammo, food, and plenty of land to live off of. I figure it will take a couple of years to shake out those who can't or won't fend for themselves, it's called survival of the fittest or evolution and possibly then we can reorganize this mess.

Thanks for looking out for me, JB. I hear you about the whole money thing. I think Hasbro went overboard by (technically) releasing 27 figures at the same time. Argh. . .
Then you throw in all these variations. . .
And vehicles you can't even find. . .
And a POTJ wave that has never been seen at retail. . .
Between eBay, TRU, WalMart, Target, my time and fuel, this is becoming way too expensive. I am so overwhelmed that I think I've almost reached the end of my rope.

Shoei Helmets are some of the finest the world has to offer today.
Shoei began manufacturing helmets in 1959. They developed the world's first helmet to utilize carbon fiber in it's construction, the GR-Z. They produced the world's first ventilated helmet as well as the world's first EPS liner ventilation system. With Shoei's long history of helmets and world's firsts in design and production, it's no wonder their helmets are worn by such legends as Wayne Gardner, Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey. Shoei prides itself in being the leader in helmet safety - building the best helmets that technology will allow.
