|Product Type
Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula®, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple™, Mega-Kid Multiple™, Inflama-Rest™, the Skin Eternal™ line, Higher Mind™, Essential Enzymes™, Male Response™, and more.
Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas™ help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, we evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Our line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.
Our nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for WellnessSM is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

The Ecologist, Vol. 29, No 2. March/April 1999 The Ecologist's Declaration on Climate Change
W • f E, THE UNDERSIGNED, CALL UPON THE
world's political and corporate leaders to take immediate action to prevent seriously dis ruptive climate change. Evidence of human impact upon the Earth's climate is now irrefutable. We have emitted enough greenhouse gases into the atmosphere to commit the climate to change. I f we carry on as we are, we can expect a rapidly worsening situation that - because of the long life of emissions in the atmosphere - wil l continue for centuries to come. Within a global trend of rising temperatures that could reach levels in the next century that our species has never previously experienced, our climate wil l become more and more unstable, marked by extreme and unseasonal weather. Such climatic destabilisation will have dire consequences for every part of the world, every sector of society and every aspect of our lives. Our health and food supplies will be affected dramatically by increased droughts, heat waves and the spread of disease-bearing insects and pests in response to rising temperatures. Agricultural land and our towns and cities will also suffer substantial damage from rising sea-levels, and increased flooding and violent storms, with huge costs for industry and ordinary people as their homes and livelihoods are destroyed. The scien tists of the UN's Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change predict that millions of people worldwide will die and millions of others will become environmental refugees as a result. The effects of climate change are being felt even now. Global temperatures are rising at a rate faster than for 10,000 years, with the 12 hottest years in recorded history occurring since 1980. There has also been a sharp rise in extreme weather events, with a sig nificant increase in the last 20 years in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, large floods and heat waves that have left a trail of devastation to infrastructure and agriculture in their wake.
trees, causing billions of acres of South American rain forest to turn into desert before 2050, the UK Met Office's Hadley Centre predicts. I f this and other positive feedbacks occur - and they could well do so within the next few decades - we could find ourselves in a situation of catastrophic, runaway climatic destabilisation.
• • •
Yet the political and corporate response to this problem has been grossly inadequate. To stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations at non-catastrophic levels, the UN's Inter governmental Panel on Climate Change stated in 1990 that greenhouse gas emissions from human sources would have to be reduced immediately by at least 60 per cent below 1990 levels. At Kyoto, however, developed countries agreed to a cut of just 5.2 per cent, to be achieved between 2008 and 2012. Worse, the US Con gress has refused to ratify the US' Kyoto commitment. Even i f the Kyoto targets were met, given that develop ing countries are under no obligation to prevent their emissions from continuing to increase, global emissions would rise to 30 per cent above 1990 levels by 2010.
The extent of climatic destabilisation is likely to be even more severe than previously thought i f greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise unchecked. As warming increases, vital natural processes upon which we depend to absorb or contain three-quarters of our greenhouse gas emissions - such as the carbon dioxide-absorbing func tion of the world's forests and oceans - would weaken and even cease to operate. Instead of being net 'sinks', they will become net sources of greenhouse gases.
Hence, i f emissions continue to rise unchecked, we risk releasing billions of tonnes of carbon into the atmos phere as rising temperatures trigger a huge die-back of
We deplore the lack of serious political action to address this issue and we deplore attempts by many large corporations to block meaningful change. For short-term gain, they seem willing to jeopardise the welfare, indeed survival, of a large part of humanity.
• • •
I f catastrophic climate change is to be avoided, we call upon our governments to take the following action with out delay:
• Accept the goal of reducing carbon dioxide concentra-

Today, once again, Oracle has a front page ad in the Wall Street Journal. Here is what you really need to know:
IBM Power Systems and DB2 continues to have the highest performing single server for the TPC-C benchmark(1). Oracle compares the performance of a 384 core cluster using new flash storage with a single 64 core IBM system from almost two years ago. Response time isn't even an official metric of the benchmark. Oracle's energy claim is not verified by the TPC. Take a look at the true energy leadership of Power systems. What about pricing? Is the maintenance pricing Oracle used in the benchmark realistic? And pricing with flash surely makes a huge impact as seen with the outstanding price performance of the recent 8 core IBM POWER7 result which used SSD.(2) Oracle only relies on claims from this one benchmark using only one type of system. Where are all the Exadata benchmarks, by the way? IBM has leadership across a whole portfolio of benchmarks across a wide expanse of systems.
Same old same old.
(1)64-core IBM Power 595 (5 GHz, 32 chips, 128 threads) with IBM DB2 9.5 is the best overall single system (6,085,166 tpmC, $2.81/tpmC, configuration available 12/10/08).
(2)8-core IBM Power 780 (4.14 GHz, 2 chips, 32 threads) with IBM DB2 9.5 is the best 8-core system (1,200,011 tpmC, $.69/tpmC, configuration available 10/13/10).

Leftover Salmon
Spotlight show • "Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass" is one of the best descriptions for a band's sound since The Chicago Daily Tribune first used the word "jazz" in 1915. Last year, Leftover Salmon released "Aquatic Hitchhiker," its first since 2004. It's also the first album that included contributions by banjo player Andy Thorn. While Thorn may never fill the shoes of Mark Vann, who died in 2002, he is "a great player and fun to hang out with," said Vince Herman, the jam band's singer, guitarist and mandolin player. During a recent interview, Herman said the first time playing with Horn "was haunting. It felt like playing with Mark." He said the "band limped along for a few years," but "playing with Andy makes it feel so right."
When • Friday, March 1, at 9 p.m.
Where • Park City Live, 427 Main St., Park City
Tickets • $20 at SmithsTix
Darwin Deez
Spotlight show • As a rule, I never ask musicians to name their genre, because they usually resent the question and start railing about being pigeonholed. When I interviewed Darwin Deez, he happily told me what he does without prompting: "Indie pop-rock." Darwin Deez (real name is Darwin Smith) is returning to Kilby Court after a previous star-making appearance in Salt Lake City. "We did have a really good show there last time," said the Asheville, N.C., resident and Wesleyan University alum. In February, he released his second album, "Songs for Imaginative People," named for his creative tendencies. "I'm susceptible to romantic fantasies," he said. "I pay attention to [dreams]." Besides performing a casual, fanciful style of guitar-pop that utilizes computers and electronics, Deez is known for dancing during his shows. "I did tap-dancing lessons for a while," he said. "The rest is natural." Hang Time and Caged Animals are also on the bill.
When • Friday, March 1, at 7 p.m.
Where • Kilby Court, 741 S. (330 West), Salt Lake City
Tickets • $10 in advance, $12 day of, at 24Tix
Reckless Kelly
Spotlight show • Brothers Willy and Cody Braun leaders of the Red Dirt-inspired alt-country group Reckless Kelly were born and raised in Idaho. They started the band while in Oregon and, for the past 15 years, they have resided in Austin, Texas. "There is a pretty good music scene here," said Willy during a recent telephone interview. "There are 300 bars with live music every night." The group's last album, "Good Luck & True Love," was released in 2011, and the road warriors have booked studio time in March. Willy said the subjects will be familiar territory. "Lots of stuff about the road and heartbreak," he said, adding that the band will focus on mellower material maybe. "But I could write three good rockers by the time March comes around." Opening the show will be frequent tour companion Micky & the Motorcars, featuring Micky and Gary Braun, younger brothers of Willy and Cody. Appropriately, the tour is called "Tour Better Than One."
When • Saturday, March 2, at 8:30 p.m.
Where • In The Venue, 579 W. 200 South, Salt Lake City
Tickets • $18 in advance, $20 day of, at SmithsTix
Spotlight show • Danny Seim, one of the member of the Oregon indie-rock duo Menomena, has a direct connection to Utah. "My dad was born in Salt Lake City," he said during a recent interview. Seim said his family was religiously tolerant, but he did have a "crazy uncle" who liked to antagonize his Mormon neighbors. His license plate read "YRULDS." Fortunately, "Not all of my family are jerks." The experimental band is touring behind its 2012 album, "Moms," a concept album that admittedly "sounds heavy," said Seim. "My mom died when I was 17. I am 34 now. [Bandmate Justin Harris] was going through the death of his grandmother." The band is still dealing with the amicable departure of founding member Brent Knopf, though it presented a good opportunity for the two remaining members. "There is always a clutter of ideas in the band," Seim said. "We went at it like an experiment. With two, there's not an odd man out."
When • Saturday, March 2, at 9 p.m.
Where • Urban Lounge, 241 S. 500 East, Salt Lake City
Tickets • $13 in advance, $15 day of, at 24Tix
Greensky Bluegrass
Spotlight show • Can someone please tell Paul Hoffmann and the other members of Greensky Bluegrass that the Red Iguana is open on Sundays? During a recent interview, I accidentally told Hoffman, the band's mandolin player, that the restaurant was closed on the Sabbath. My bad. The Michigan-based bluegrass band is not bluegrass in the strictest sense. Hoffman said it falls somewhere between The Lumineers and Beyoncé. In the ensemble's early days, a spirited cover of Prince's "When Doves Cry" was an attempt to win over fans at bars where bluegrass was often ignored. "People would hear it and say, 'Hey, I do like the banjo,' " Hoffman said. Even today, the band, which also sprinkles a liberal helping of traditional songs in its sets, has fun arranging pop songs for bluegrass bands, with the banjo often taking the synth parts. "I am a sucker for pop music," Hoffman said. Ryan Montbleau Band opens.

Salvador Santana
Spotlight show • Latin instrumentalist and keyboardist Salvador Santana has an impressive pedigree. He is the son of Carlos Santana and the grandson of Saunders, a blues icon, and Jose Santana, a legendary violinist and mariachi bandleader. In a phone interview, Salvador said his father taught him how to drum when he was 3. "My father thought it was imperative to learn rhythm and tempo," he said. But it was the piano, which he discovered at age 7, that turned him on. "It resonated with me. It made sense." After leading the Salvador Santana Band for a half-decade, Santana went on his own and released the genre-defying "Keyboard City" in 2010. It received rave reviews for the way his spoken-word vocal style flowed alongside his jazz- and blues-inspired compositions. Santana is releasing new songs off a forthcoming EP, including "Into the Light" and a song dedicated to his grandmother, "Mi Tesoro." "I'm honoring my lineage and history," Santana said. "I'm at a place where I'm learning so much. I don't really want to settle."

Well I decided I didn't want to spend $140 on a pair of Caboots, just too much for me. Some things I can justify, but just not for these boots.
So I decided to make my own. Here's how.
This was for my Holiday Special Fett which I showed off at Dragon*Con!
The started out as a pair of $30 "Kenneth Cole - Smooth and slicks" that I bought off eBay.
These had one zipper on them and not "U" elastic
I desided to mask off the boots and make it look like it at elastic and piping. So I used a template and some electrical tape:
Placed a few layers of tape on a piece of styrene and the cut out the "U"
Then I cut small strips and placed them where the "piping" would go: (You can see a Caboot in the background, it came with my suit. They were way too big though).
Then off to paint:
Since this is for the Holiday Special Fett, I painted them light blue. His were light blue, squared toe boots.
I did about 4 coats. Waiting about 15-20 minutes in between each coat.
Once dry, I removed the tape.
I don't have a close up image of the finished product, but you get the idea. I ended up painting the sole white, and installed toe spikes. The toes spikes didn't work too well because the sole was so then, and they weren't made to fit those boots.
As you can tell the spikes kept pointing up... the would even out when I stepped a certain way though.
Tell me what you think.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by allezfred, Feb 13, 2011.
Anyone else watching?
I'm going to watch at 8 tonight when they come on BBC America.
I can't but I'll stick around here if you comment on outfits and stuff
Helena Bonham Carter has won for Best Supporting Actress.
Jonathan Ross has gotten so heavy....
In Ireland, we're stuck watching on tape delay BBC1.
The girl from True Grit manages the incredible feat of looking simultaneously slutty and grandmotherish in her dress.
So I guess she's a cougar in training?
Paul McCartney to present Original Music. And the winner is......
The King's Speech. I think they're going to have a big night.
Jennifer Lawrence and Jesse Eissenberg present Special Visual Effects. And the winner is:
I've just been reading about the results -- want me to spoil you?
Was Winter's Bone not released in Great Britain or did it just not receive any nominations?
No thanks.
Okay, I'll be good.
It was released here in Ireland last autumn, so I imagine it was released in UK too.
I think the most frightening thing about Black Swan may have been how Barbara Hershey looked.
Best Supporting Actress goes to........
Helena Bonham Carter for "The King's Speech". Surprise, surprise.
Not as out there fashion as usual, but she just picked out a wedgie onstage.
Kevin Spacey presenting "Outstanding Debut" or some such nonsense. Much better is his Bill Clinton impersonation.
That's OK. Bit annoyed that it's not live. What's the point innit?
"The King's Speech" wins Outstanding British film. Is this the film equivalent of giving 10s in PCS at nationals to influence the judges at Worlds aka The Oscars?
Jessica Alba looking very thin in blue presenting Supporting Actor.
Goes to Geoffrey Rush for "The King's Speech".
Rosamunde Pike almost announces winner of Original Screenplay without presenting the nominees.
Anyway, it doesn't matter because the winner is "The King's Speech".
Neve Campbell in stunningly unflattering dress. From the back it looks like she's wearing a tank top.
"Toy Story 3" wins Best Animation.
Julianne Moore's dress looks like she ripped out a blue velvet curtain and wrapped it around herself.
Adapted Screenplay goes to "The Social Network".
In the U.S., BBC America will air their tape delayed BAFTA broadcast from 8-11 pm Eastern tonight, with a repeat showing at 11 pm.
Not sure what to say about what Tilda Swinton is wearing. A suit at the front and a kimono at the back.

Let me get this straight. You admit that you don't do your job (properly manage bees), yet you expect others to pick up the slack for you?
What I do have a problem with, is when a beekeeper won't take the time to properly manage their hives, but expects others to pick up the slack for them by calling them when their hives swarm - which is EXACTLY the way you said you run your operation.
Any farmer who let his livestock get out, and then expected everyone to call him when his livestock got out would not be treated warmly in the community.
No offense beemaster Jersey drivers are at the top of the list i have family there and when they come to visit here in the country they drive 10 feet off of each others bumper thinking someone might get in front of them.
It's simple......I call the farmer when the cows get out, and he calls me when the bees swarm. He is happy, and so I am. And I am not interested in any other arrangement less than that.

Deepest Horizon of Suspicion
posted at 5:02 pm on May 30, 2010 by Dafydd ab Hugh
Would President Barack H. Obama be moving more swiftly to put the full weight of the federal emergency system behind stopping and cleaning up the Gulf oil spill — if the region affected comprised liberal Democratic states? Could the president of the United States be that cold-blooded and vindictive against one particular part of the country, a region he particularly detests because of long-past racism and current conservative leanings?
As usual with liberals, when we allow our thoughts to pull us where the evidence seems to lead, we sound paranoid; we back away, embarassed at even thinking such a thing. Who could imagine such a vicious plot… it must just be a curious concatenation of coincidence.
Liberals routinely rely upon that natural tendency, hatching conspiracies so bizarre and brazen that nobody would ever believe them, from attempts to nationalize much of the Amerian economy to wild orgies with White House interns in the Oval Office (rather, the little room just off the Oval Office). Even Republicans like Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt scoff at the "conspiratorial" ideas of "lunatics":
- That Obamunism might include deliberately wrecking our capitalist economy with unsustainable debt, just to pave the way for a liberal-fascist, public-private "partnership," à la Venezuela or Japan;
- That ultra-liberals might welcome a flood of illegals into the country, reasoning that once they're mass-naturalized in a bona-fide amnesty (not like the legitimate path to citizenship proposed by George W. Bush and John McCain), they'll vote reliably Democratic;
- Or that the American Left actually wants to see America lose in Iraq and Afghanistan, to be repeatedly humiliated by Iran, Russia, and China, and to be driven away from our allies in South Korea, Europe, and of course Israel, all the better to "humble" us and drive us, out of desperation, towards supporting greater internationalism and the leftist dream of one-world government.
But at some point, we must ask the fundamental question: Can all the damage inflicted upon our country from the left side of the aisle, over the past century or more, be attributed to mere incompetence? Are the relentless heavy shoves all in the same direction just coincidence piled upon happenstance wrapped with synchronicity? Or at some deeper level, does the Left — and today, the people surrounding the president or even the Man himself — intend the consequences they consistently provoke?
I once spent an entire year keeping track of the number of times a restaurant bill was added incorrectly (this was in the days before all such bills were computerized). During that year, I received fourteen misadded checks; thirteen of them were mistaken in favor of the restaurant, only one in my favor.
It's tempting (easier, less truculent, not as scary) to suggest that such improper arithmetic is just a silly error; but if so, then shouldn't the error be in the customer's favor roughly half the time? When the errors so overwhelmingly favor the restraurant, the "null hypothesis" is effectively disproven. At that point, the most reasonable conclusion is that the misadditions are deliberate, not random.
Similarly with the incessant "missteps" and "incomprehensible errors" and "foolish mistakes" in domestic and international policy from the most liberal (or leftist) administrations: When nearly all, virtually without exception, trend in the same direction — towards more government control at higher and higher levels of organization, cutting against individual liberty and local control — then it's hard not to conclude that pattern matches the "Misadded Restauant Check" fallacy; and that the curiously coincidental errors are not such coincidences after all.
There are five American Gulf states: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. The first four voted against Barack Obama by a whopping average of 58-42; now Florida is clearly trending back Republican after its brief flirtation with radical "hope and change," restoring the solid conservative, Republican South.
And this very day, Obama is enjoying another vacation, his second (!) since the BP spill began just 41 days ago. Yet he still hasn't ordered the most obvious responses, from directing the Army "Corpse" of Engineers to help Louisiana build barrier sand berms, to using fire booms to burn off the oil, to sending in oil tankers to try to scoop up the 20.7 million to 32.7 million gallons of oil that have erupted into the Gulf so far (the Exxon Valdez spill was a paltry 10.8 million gallons), to at least considering using powerful explosives to plug the well. (At least the president, never shy of bragging about the wonders he's going to perform, hasn't even mentioned the possibility.)
Is Obama merely a fool, or is he willfully dragging his feet because the primary victims of the disaster are by and large anti-Obama Republicans? Is this his way of punishing them for their apostasy against the One We Were Supposed to Have Been Waiting For?
Democrats might not like the implications of that question, but I say it demands an answer.

best way to fade the way you want
if you are going black to red or the flip of that it would be a better look doing the pearl over both like a red pearl that would give you like a red fliping to cherry look just black to red would no go so well other wise because any pearl you put in the black would not flip as good as you would be after the red to black with the pearl red over them both would give you the best flip just watch the fade so when you are doing it it is a slow fade not a red stop black start
|You probably know this already, or at least I hope you do. I always start with the dark color first then spray then next lightest making sure I overlap the dark color at least 10 inches and make it lighter toward the dark one. Depending on what you use at times you can shoot a lighter color 1 coat over the entire dark color and continue this with all the colors. This way you will get a smooth transition and some color change between the colors. House of Kolors is the paint for me although PPG makes some very good multi coat paints.
One word.

Hi mustangmatt89,
Just so happens I used to paint custom fades and it is not as easy as you would think, but it also can be made easy to understand.
I'm not sure you would want me to explain it all here but I will tell you now
that the basic method requires at least 12 differant colors you can mix your self and a good understanding of stableized toners, don't know what they call that now. Yes you can use pearl and differant color pearls and toners to blend between colors and between certain distances of the fade you can also flip the whole fade to a solid color. Just to give you an idea.
Thanks, Scot
factory fade
I remember seeing a Ford truck come off the end of the assembly line, the hood didn't match one side of the body, hoods were painted on a different paint line, The color code was chalked on the front of the radiator support and one of the painters mis read the code. It was a metalic Bronze and metalic brown, It had a good blend on the tailgate, cab and roof.
|painted jester
You could use silver and gold flake base for the candy and blend the basses (fog) that way you shoot the candy red and it looks like two different shades of red fogging together blending well Ive done that many times and is an excellent affect Metelflake Brand, House of Color and PPG are very good, and my favorites! You can also add different color dry pearls to your candy red to change the effect and it would blend together nicely and pop When the sun hits em!! Ive also done skulls and effects with flip flop pearls that are invisible until you walk around the car and they just pop out, as the light angle changes!
How much of this kind of painting have you done?
How did I get on here Its from 2010 I think I hit a picture on the bottom of the page! This post so old and not finished should have been locked!!!
|Bad Rat
My 69 Bonneville is in the paint shop now for a fade job,, its gonna fade from candy black on the bottom to graphite on the top,,
the painter said he was going to shoot the whole car in Graphite, then start the fade on the bottom and work up,,
He painted my bike so I trust what he does with no questions asked,, probably the best painter I have seen,, and I.ve seen a bunch
painted both of these bikes
Flat black the whole car in primer, then use a brush and paint in white Jolly Rogers on the hood.
|Rag top bird
|I have 2 friends of mine that were painters at southern comfort before they shut down one of them help me do a fade on a 90 chevy it was black on top and purple on the bottom its not that hard to do if you keep your colors close like dark red and black the way we done it was to paint the black below the door handle then sprayed the purple up to the handle then came back with the black and over reduced the black then turn the paint gun down aimed at the ground and down the side of the truck then go from front to back I had to go over it 3 times to get the fade look right
|I think what you will need to do is shoot your black base as an overall, then start to build your red over it starting at the bottom then do a reduction in red by adding a little black, then reduce the that some more until you have your faded color into the black. By reduction, I mean a red/black mix, cutting the red each time with a little black. Then you could topcoat with the clear/pearl mix. Although if it was me, I think I would have the pearl in the paint and not the clear. I've seen too many pearl/clears that seem to lose the depth over a pure clear. I know what I'm thinking in my head but putting in type might not quite sound right.
|Thanks a bunch just so happens that i do a lot of Rc cars so ive been spraying small areas quiet frequently. I have done a couple of fade jobs in the past in both base coats white and silver but have never had the two finished project together to see which came out better. Im not afraid of the paint scheme at all i would just like some feed back on color schemes. I guess i can go look at a color chart but what fun would that be? what do you think of this:burgandy fade to candy apple on a black background?
|Gene Winfield is one of the masters of the fade in- fade out paint jobs. He has a huge following at the HAMB. He's given paint classes as well as metal working classes, google him, you may find a ph.# to give him a call. Personally, I would give House of Color a shout, they can help you as well as anyone. I do think doing this over black would be your best bet as you would need less coats, and have less chances of mottling, as Brian says. Be prepared to finesse the colors, as in mixing a blend , darkening or lightening the color as you move back. I have noticed that position of the gun is important, close to the work will be a more defined line, away will create a fogging look. Practice on some panels. Maybe ask a motorcycle painter, they do cool things all the time in a small area, less room for error.
Ok, first off I am no custom painter, painted all my life (mostly for a living) but only done a little custom work.
But this is how I see your questions, first off, forget the "Pearl" part. You aren't going to get much of an "effect" fading a "Pearl". Now, if after you do a fade job using candies if you were to apply a pearl over the whole thing, that is fine. But fading a pearl isn't going to do much for you.
On the base, the lighter the base the more vibrant the candy, and the harder it is to spray without mottling or uneven colors.
If you get a HOK color chart you will see what these candies look like applied over the light or dark bases, VERY different colors are produced.
And on using "regular" paints added to clears, don't count on it. Most bases are not transparent enough. I have tried it, even with "low strength" toners that you could see thru as you poured it, when added to a clear mid coat they were HORRIBLE, all cloudy, just pure crap. A REAL candy is recommended from this non custom painter.
This is what you MUST do to pull this off. Go by a bodyshop and ask for some old panels to test your ideas on. If they are like where I work, there is a big bin full of nice sheetmetal with nice OEM paint, super easy to prep and do some testing.
Buy some candy, some bases and spray it out, see what you get. You are jumping into pretty dangerous waters. What you WANT may not be what you are capible of. But that is what the test panels are for, give it a try and see what you can do.
Custom colors
allrighty then.. all kidding aside here is the real question? i want to do a candy apple red flame over black primmer, silver base coat, then back it again in candy apple red and then airbrush some skulls in the flame. What color would you use to fade into the candy apple red?? any suggestions would be helpful.

energy-efficient appliances
It's been 14 years since the EPA introduced the Energy Star labeling program to identify energy-efficient products. Today, it's an important determinant of the appliances architects and clients choose. Energy Star-qualified refrigerators use about half as much energy as a pre-1993 model, and dishwashers use 25 percent less energy and less water. Allison Ewing, AIA, Hays + Ewing Design Studio, Charlottesville, Va., likes to spec single-unit washer/ dryers because they use one-third the water of a conventional unit.

"This is my 2nd canvas print ordered from Tiny prints. I was so pleased with the quality of the 1st that I would never order elsewhwhere. The second photo turned out amazing. I captured my pregnancy and a picture of my son"
"This was THE EASIEST, most pain-free process ever! From choosing the product to uploading the design, it doesn't get any simpler. Our picture canvas is amazing - beautiful! It's absolutely perfect. We chose a black and white color option. The picture print is incredible. We have received so many compliments and we literally can't stop looking at it!"
"I was reluctant to enlarge to 20x16 since I was unfamiliar with the printing process. Plus I had read that someone was happy with the outcome of a card, but not the enlarged canvas with the same print. However, I had taken this particular photo on an SLR with a telephoto lens, so I knew it was a quality shot. Also, Tiny Prints assured me I could return it if I wasn't 100% satisfied. So I took a chance. It arrived in 2 days, & it's absolutely beautiful! The color & detail came out perfectly clear, down to every last drop of water spilling off an ocean wave! I highly recommend to anyone wanting to enlarge a favorite memory. The canvas truly makes my photo a piece of art!"
"I ordered the photo on canvas as a holiday gift for my husband. He was the one who took the photo of our infant son. My husband was very pleased. The photo hangs in our living room and we are getting many complements from family and friends."

text: Shining examples of students and public higher education faculty Governor Deval Patrick, Education Secretary Matt Malone and state higher education officials honored 29 outstanding public college and university students and their mentors Thursday at the third annual "29 Who Shine" awards at the State House. The awards celebrate the 29 scholars – one each from the state's community colleges, state universities and UMass campuses--and the faculty or staff member named by each of the students as having had the greatest impact on them during college. The event is co-sponsored by the MTA and the Department of Higher Education.This year's list of 29 Who Shine includes Mariano Gomes, a native of Guinea Bissau, who grew up amid grinding poverty and war and was forced to immigrate to Cape Verde, where he formed an organization to call attention to human rights for his fellow exiles. Gomes, who speaks seven languages, studied chemistry at Bristol Community College, serving as a supplemental instructor assisting fellow students. Gomes recognized Cynthia Hahn, adjunct instructor of chemistry, as his mentor. Gomes said Hahn was his first chemistry professor at BCC and "she makes complicated materials fun and easy. Through her class I developed my passion for chemistry. She is my hero." Mariano Gomes and Bristol Community College adjunct chemistry professor Cynthia Hahn At a luncheon following the ceremony, Hahn returned the compliments, saying Gomes started in her developmental chemistry class and within a couple of semesters was tutoring the other students in chemistry. "The students adore him," she said. "He takes his tutoring as a sacred responsibility." Gomes has been named a Commonwealth Honors Scholar and has won a prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship to continue his education at a four-year college or university. Raymond Dunham is a father of six who enrolled at Berkshire Community College after suffering a severe spinal injury. He became a role model for his own children and fellow students at BCC. He was a Student Government ambassador and the elected student representative on the Board of Trustees for two years. The criminal justice major, with a 3.7 GPA, is one of 50 Gold Scholars for the 2012-2013 Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team, and is continuing his studies at UMass Amherst. Dunham chose to recognize Deborah Carderella, administrative secretary in the Humanities Division. He said Carderella is "always honest and supportive…. She made sure I stayed grounded and kept focused on my long-term plans."Andrew Curran, of Greenfield Community College, combined his love of filmmaking and the cause of social justice. Along with leading the GCC Film Society, he was president of the Peace, Justice and Environmental Action Alliance, where he facilitated a themed film and discussion series on environmental issues. A December graduate of GCC, Curran is now a student at Amherst College. Curran chose to recognize Trevor Kearns, an assistant professor of English at GCC, who "encouraged my interest in film and gave me the opportunity to explore film in a formal, academic way."Nicole Ouimette of Holyoke Community College founded the SAAVE (Students for Affordable, Accessible and Valuable Education Club). She organized campus speak-outs on student loan debt and helped organize the March 5 Student Advocacy Day, which drew hundreds of students to the State House to lobby for affordable, high-quality public education and where she was a featured speaker with Governor Deval Patrick. Ouimette's recognized her mentor, Vanessa Martinez, an assistant professor of anthropology. She said Martinez "really engages students in the learning process and is always committed to helping them succeed." The liberal arts major will attend Westfield State University to pursue gender and ethnic studies.Lauren Underwood, a civil engineering major at UMass Dartmouth, is also the lead student ambassador in its Admissions Office, one of the first faces prospective students and families see. Within the Engineering College, Lauren is the student representative on the Civil Engineering Committee and the Undergraduate Engineering Student Council. She is also Secretary of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Chairperson of the New England Regional Concrete Canoe Competition and a member of Engineers Without Borders. Underwood chose to recognize Kelley Mahoney, assistant director of admissions, as her mentor. She said Mahoney "brought me stability and has always been there for me both professionally and personally."

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Rocastle, Dec 17, 2011.
We can all agree that Stuckey is a better PG than Kwame Brown, right?
Dude looks like a thug, that's the reason. Thug look is okay for me 'cuase me looked more ugly than him.
FYI, Afflalo got 5yr/$43M.
Do I think Stuck is the player I thought he'd be 3 years ago... heck no. I do think he's a good player in the NBA, and while he has had the silver spoon shoved down his throat from day one (to mine and mosts horror), he has also had 3 years of horrible coaching and a GM with his hands tied. I didn't want us to give him the moon in a contract, but with the contract he was given I am ok with it. I think there is potential still there to be a better then average guard in this league.... and on a team with leaders he can follow. He can't shoot a lick from outside, but when paired with Knight who can shoot from outside, I think the combo can work. Knight runs the team, but at times Stuckey can run the play... where he drives and kicks or goes to the hole. He can handle some point, he's just not a PG. A cheap mans Dumars, and maybe thats why he's so stuck on him... he see's himself all over again.
All Stuck has to do is demonstrate that he did more over the past seven months than count his soon to appear cash. If he was in the gym every day putting up a thousand or so jumpers, working on his form, making his game better, then he's worth the money. If his jumper is no better this year then his agent is a con artist and Joe is a fool. The weaknesses in his game were clear, and what he could do to alleviate them was also clear. Time will tell.
Um, ...no. We would have signed somebody else besides Rod Stuckey. Perhaps a player with a more versitile skill set than putting his head down and plowing into the teeth of the defense. A shooting guard who can "shoot" perhaps? The amount means something to me. I happen to be a Pistons fan who wants to see his team spend their money as effectively as possible. Allocating resources to a dude who could help us in the frontcourt (ok ...NOT Kwame Brown) seems like a good idea to me. SG is the easiest position to fill in the NBA. No need to over-spend to get one. ...and yes, Joe most certainly DID bid against himself. No amount of LSD would allow me to conjure up a hallucination where another team would have offered Rodney Stuckey $8 mil a year. I hope that Rodney proves me wrong this year. I hope that Larry Frank lites a fire under Collider's butt and he manages to add things to his game that he has severely lacked up to this point in his career. I'm losing hope though. Rodney's been a rookie guard for way too long for me to continue to "hope".
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7...-nuggets-re-sign-arron-afflalo-five-year-deal Did any other team covet Stuck.
Afflalo, Danilo Gallinari, and Ty Lawson are generally regarded as the most valued players, along with Nene, in the Nuggets' post-Anthony world, according to most basketball followers... Rodney Stuckey is generally regarded as a valuable player by Joe Dumars. I would assume a big fat NO........
My favorite quotes from the same Freep article. Glad to know he spent his downtime working hard and trying to get better. Now he isn't talking about Stuckey, but maybe this is why Joe thought Stuckey should be a point. If Stuckey could of figured out the first three parts of being a traditional point guard maybe he could of been a traditional point.
Stuckey was not, is not, and won't be your traditional point guard. We have to live with it, I guess. Therefore for Stuckey you need very clever coaching - somebody very experienced...
Oh for crying out loud. Stuckey to Brandon Knight: "No, no, no. You need to keep your head down and drive. Let's try it again..."
By Franks definition he has 2/5 the qualities of a traditional point. Its not like we have any other guys on our roster who are complete players.
okay i'll play along - name some SG options we could have gotten instead. you said SG is the easiest position to fill in the NBA...i don't think any position is easy to fill. i might agree if you think it's the least important position to fill, but quality SGs are not as common as most people believe. and i still believe rodney would have gotten at least $7 million offered for 4+ years from another team if he was an unrestricted free agent.
Here's a harsh but IMO realistic article about Stuckey: http://www.detroitbadboys.com/2011/...plenty-of-time-at-shooting-guard-in?ref=yahoo Some excerpts:
I also won't agree with the sentiment that Stuckey's game improved steadily. There was a big jump in his numbers from his rookie season to his second rookie season, but that has more to do with Billups' departure than anything else. Other than that, his improvement has been limited to blips on relatively flat stat lines: 07-08: 19.0mpg/0.40 FG%/0.19 3p%/0.81 FT%/2.3rpg/2.8apg/1.37 TO/ 7.6ppg 08-09: 31.9mpg/0.44 FG%/0.30 3p%/0.80 FT%/3.5rpg/4.9apg/2.19 TO/13.4ppg 09-10: 34.2mpg/0.41 FG%/0.23 3p%/0.83 FT%/3.8rpg/4.8apg/2.23 TO/16.6ppg 10-11: 31.2mpg/0.44 FG%/0.29 3p%/0.86 FT%/3.1rpg/5.2apg/2.21 TO/15.5ppg His other sophisticated stats (win shares, PER etc) might have improved, but that's more because the team around him got progressively worse IMO. The reality is he is exactly the same player he was 3 years ago. Monroe has shown more improvement in the second half of the season last year than Stuckey did in 3 years. If this guy is unwilling to learn, or put the effort in to learn, then he is a lazy complacent player and he won't ever get better. If he is willing to learn and is working hard, then whatever he's doing, or whoever he has as a trainer, isn't working and he is too ignorant to realize that fact and therefore he won't ever get better. Stuckey is not a bad player; there are far worse players in the NBA. But he has peaked IMO. This is his ceiling. Whether it is a natural or self-imposed limit is irrelevant.
I will agree that the improvement has been marginal. Here are his stats per 36 min: Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Stuckey's only shot at being a truly special player is at PG where he can use his size as an advantage. Previously, when he's played PG, he's been guarded by another PG. He played along side Rip who has good height for a SG. When Stuck played the Off-Guard, McGrady was running the point and Stuck benefited by being checked by the opposing PG. With the current crop of Piston Guards, Rodney will almost always be checked by the oposition's big guard as Gordon, Bynum and B-K will be defended by the other team's PG. No more days of having a size advantage for the Collider with Rip and Tracy out of the picture.
We will see how it works out. Fact is, we don't know yet, and it's one of the reasons I will be tuning in this year. I do seem to remember Rodney having some decent games alongside Chucky Atkins a couple years back though.
I'll go ahead and post this so lee doesn't have to bother with it: ANYONE looks good playing along side Chucky Atkins. ...there, done.

Yes wool suiting is expensive, but it would look nice. I folded the fabric at an end a couple times and got the impression that it too was a bit thick. I plan to try cotton and see if I can lightly spray paint on a stripe
The capes I make don't have any stitches at the seam since I use a serger machine. There isn't a commercially available dye that I've found for the stripe. Tests with dye to try and get a crisp line have always had extreme bleeding ad well. I did a circuit of stores today and there is wool suiting thin enough but no colors other than black or striking patterns. I will have a new cape to show tonight
In doing some research of fabric types, and having access to seamstress of about 40 years, I think the cape might be linen based. As for the stripe, I don't think it's died.... trying to get a line that clean as I've been told is very hard, not impossible but really hard.
And there is a way to sew that stripe where the seam isn't visible.
I'm hoping to have something to show after the first of the year.......
None of the capes I make have visible seams. Linen is a fabric with a texture to it in different degrees. I don't see any of hat in the cape. Here's a shot of the seam on one of my capes.
I'm concerned with the recent CRL changes that the requirements for the cape fabric are going to be changed without knowing what the real cape was made from.
Unless we can say for sure what it is, there would be no reason to change it...... the CRL that is.........
Good discussion....
This is the wool cape I made. I had to dye it and spray paint on the stripe.

I think to make a two sided invisible seam would mean a double layer of fabrics.
Looks really nice....

Thanks a lot, man! I appreciate it!

A newsletter reader wrote me asking, "I'd love to see an article on ways to organize all the family genealogy folders on my computer. I have e-mails, digital books, photographs, vital records and more. I'm looking for a common system to apply to all families I research. Do you have any suggestions?"
Yes, I do.
If you have my book Finding Your Ancestors Online you'll see that after experiencing the frustration of not being able to find a family file, I began filing everything on my computer by surname or locale.
One of the easiest ways I know to begin your computer organization is to create directories (or folders) for each surname you research, and within that directory, create sub-directories for items like vital records, images, census, and correspondence. (See the resources below for how to create files and folders on Windows.) The number of sub-directories probably will increase as you collect more and more data.
Once you've made surname directories, create directories for the major counties or states you research. For instance, if your family lived in several different Pennsylvania counties, you'd create a main directory for Pennsylvania and sub-directories for each county. Then, within each sub-directory you could file correspondence (e-mail and snail mail), county histories and images.
Don't forget, too, to add a way to track allied families (families that aren't related to you, but since they knew your family, you research them for genealogical clues). Make a sub-directory for an allied family inside the major directory of the surname with whom they're associated. For example, my Hendrickson family traveled with and married Moores, Hattons, Shirleys and Birds. So I'd create a sub-directory for each of those surnames within the major Hendrickson directory.
No matter which way you decide to organize, you'll ease your future research if you're consistent and use the same directory structure with all of your surnames and locales.
Follow the links below to learn more about how other people organize their data. And if you have a foolproof method, please write and let me know.

We are amazingly complex beings, especially when it comes to our psychology. Current research is showing that much of our behavior is driven by deeper, more emotion-based parts of the brain. Therefore, my approach to therapy addresses both the immediate, short-term habits of behavior, as well as the deeper roots of our feelings. Depression, anxiety, fears, anger... all these can be the result of unresolved feelings and injuries. Together, we can explore the most effective approach to healing.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
In my area of Canada, we don't do heartworm preventive at all. The only time my dogs were on it was the month we went to southern Ontario and Nova Scotia and the two months after. Even then, the vet had to special order it since they don't keep it in stock.
Unfortunately, the reports this year say that heartworm is moving into the area along with deer ticks. We'll see what happens when I eventually get a puppy.
What a great report, thanks for posting this.
My friend with the Huskies just got talked into buying the Hill's metabolic diet food two days ago!
I'm glad I've been questioning our vet practice this last year. Molly needed to be on Rimadyl, 75mg 2x day. I wanted generic, the problem was generic comes in 50 or 100mg. The vet tech 1st suggestion was to see if I could get the prescription filled at Costco because the rimadyl at the vet was $$$. I said I could get a pill splitter. The tech then went to the ortho vet and he said for Molly's weight she could take a maximum of 150mg at one time and the meds stay in the system for 24 hours. So I ended up getting the cheaper generic 100mg.
When my cat was under anesthesia for teeth cleaning. the vet wanted to remove a lump she's had for a couple years. I told her it doesn't change, but you can give me an estimate for the removal. It was an extra $300, most of the cost for was biopsy, so I chose to save money and declined to have the lump removed.
I did opt for an extra $500 so that Molly could have arthroscopic TPLO and have a minimal incision and glad I did. My neighbor's pitbull had the same surgery without the arthroscopic option and the incision site was huge, more risk for infection.
I agree that the heartworm thing, especially in Canada, a cooler climate year round, seems unnecessary.
|Saw it when it aired. Does not surprise me in the least. At least my vet now understands that I will do my research before making medical decisions. It's so much nicer now than when he first took over the practice and treated me like one of those uneducated sheeple.
oh you'll be barking mad !

Castro pleads not guilty
(Cleveland) - As expected, Ariel Castro is pleading "not guilty" to the 329 count indictment handed down last Friday.
Castro was arraigned Wednesday on charges that he held three women captive in his home for a decade while raping them.
He kept his head down and did not say a word. Castro was dressed in a orange jumpsuit in front of Judge Deena Calabrese. Bond was continued at $8 million.
Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were found at Castro's Seymour Avenue May 6th.
The 52-year-old Castro is charged with aggravated murder, kidnapping and rape.
The murder charge involves Castro's allegedly starving and punching a pregnant woman in captivity until she miscarried.
A Cuyahoga County grand jury returned the indictment last week against the former Cleveland school bus driver, who was fired last fall. The case was assigned to Common Pleas Judge Michael Russo.
Casto's attorneys told the media, there are some charges they know they cannot dispute but hope the proseuctor will drop the aggravated murder charge so the three women don't have to go through a trial.
(Photos by Colleen O'Neill/WTAM 1100)
After the arraignment, Jim Wooley, attorney for Berry and DeJesus, and speaking on behalf of the third survivor, Knight, issued a statement:
"We understand the legal process needs to run its course. That said, days like today are not easy. We are hopeful for a just and prompt resolution. We have great faith in the prosecutor's office and the court."

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Daniel writes:
Dear Vincent and his fellow TWIMsters,
Hello, my name is Daniel, I am a first year graduate student at Michigan State. I would like to thank you all for making a great podcast. I recently caught up to the most current episodes by having my own TWIM marathon during my 6 hour drive home to Wisconsin over the holiday break.
I'm not sure where to begin explaining how much I value this podcast. As someone who cares for outreach, education, research and in general having a good time with science, you folks are first rate. This series has been accessible all the way through for grandparents to grad students. When things maybe get a little to verbose you have done well to bring it back down. But you also make it just intriguing enough to hold the attention of the grad student in me. I have even been known to actually follow along in the articles. :) And of course I have had a great time learning and exercising my mind while listening in. You guys went even further to impress me with the discussion of Jo Handelsman's research last time, it gave me lots to think about for the future. Please keep up the great show!
I also wanted to share a paper with you all that I thought about after listening to TWIM #47: Resistance On the Surface. Michael said something that made me remember it during his discussion of the paper in reguard to conjugation. He said, "It's having sex wicked fast!", and you guys went on to exclaim about how fast conjugation was happening.
In this Science paper by Babic et al. in 2008 they are using a very beautifully designed experiment to visualize DNA transfer by conjugation, and it agrees... wicked fast! I suggest the supplemental videos. The experiment involves a recipient strain that is Dam- or defective for DNA methylation by Dam methylase, and which has a SecA-YFP fusion . (Note by MGS--- it is not SecA...it is SeqA ) SecA being (correct me if I'm wrong) the protein that keeps replication from occurring when hemi-methylated DNA is present in the cell. Effectively keeping multiple rounds of replication from occurring at once since newly replicated DNA has not yet had the time to be methylated on the new strand.
The result of this recipient cell is no DNA methylation, or SecA-YFP binding and diffuse fluorescence. The donor cell, however, has Dam methylase and will donate methylated DNA during conjugation. When this happens, the donor DNA will become hemi-methylated upon replication allowing SecA-YFP to bind and show a localized fluorescence to that DNA. This means we can watch it happen at a single cell level! They do show a rather surprisingly fast transfer of DNA, as well as make other neat conclusions in the paper which include the use of a red fluorescent gene on the donor DNA to measure expression of conjugated DNA, but the e-mail is long enough already. It's not a bad read, and I hope my explanation was TWIMable enough.
Thank you for providing a wonderful supplement to my microbiology education, and Happy New Year,
Here is the link to the article.

I am listening to eps 49 and heard the mention of biodynamic vineyards. Biodynamic farming is similar to organic farming, with the addition of such things as burying dung in the horn of a bull and sprinkling magical powders around the farm. Take a look, it's quite entertaining total nonsense.

I'm slowly getting caught up with TWIM after Christmas and just listened to episode 43. I came away very confused and I hope you can clarify something for me.
I understood that the major problem with using phages for disease was due to FDA regulation. However when speaking about acne you suggested that there were ways for the FDA to approve them as a type of drug treatment. If this is the case, then why on earth aren't they being used to treat anti-biotic resistant TB or other such diseases?
If you could do a show on the interplay between the FDA, government regulation and commercial use of phages to control disease I'd be quite excited. I confess I get confused when hearing about the problem of antibiotic resistance on the one hand and phages on the other.

Long time listener, 2nd time emailer. ID doc. Mostly i treat HIV patients and hospital acquired infections. You've talked a lot about copper as an antimicrobial and that ancient civilizations might have used it to reduce war wound infections. I'm not aware of it's use in modern wound care. However silver based products are used a lot in wound care and on catheters, etc. I would be interested in understanding the antimicrobial properties of silver, and in why copper is not used topically if it is so effective at killing bacteria. Thanks.

Hi all,
Thought Michael Schmidt might like this reference. It is to a Canadian podcast called Quirks and Quarks.
The reference is: http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/episode/2013/01/19/january-19-2013/index.html#3
In this episode, they discuss a paper by Jayne Danska talking about diabetes in nonobese mice. The outcome of diabetes can be changed by changing the microbiome in young mice. It reminded me of Michael' s thinking on how the microbiome might come into play in the future.
I found it very interesting after hearing the TWIM episode.
The paper appeared in Science.

Well I did find that the orgiginal discovery in the late 1980's was meant with extreme skeptacism (not surprisingly) but then I also found

WaPo Suggests Congress Can Solve Voter Suppression During Shutdown
Blog ››› ››› SERGIO MUNOZ
The Washington Post blithely suggested that Congress should "rewrite" the Voting Rights Act (VRA) rather than allow the Department of Justice to hold states accountable for voter suppression in federal court, seemingly oblivious to the government shutdown caused by the historic obstructionism of the GOP-controlled House of Representatives.
Although the conservative wing of the Supreme Court recently gutted significant protections for the right to vote in last summer's infamous Shelby County v. Holder, judges still have authority under the VRA to enjoin voter suppression after a discriminatory law is enacted. The Department of Justice is suing the states of Texas and North Carolina under these Section 2 powers, and if a court finds that the voter suppression attempted in either of these states was done with the intent to discriminate on the basis of race, Section 3 of the VRA could require these states to once again "pre-clear" their election changes.
In the middle of a Republican-caused government shutdown due to opposition to the Affordable Care Act, however, the Post opined that rather than sue states in court for clear violations of the VRA, it would be "easier and fairer" for Congress to "rewrite" those pre-clearance sections that Shelby County struck down. From the editorial:
EVER SINCE the Supreme Court gutted a key section of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Attorney General Eric H. Holder's Justice Department has been trying to patch it, using the sections of the law that the court left in place to reconstitute the checks on discrimination that had existed for decades. The Justice Department's latest move, involving a challenge to odious new voting restrictions in North Carolina, demonstrates that Mr. Holder is committed to the effort. It also demonstrates why Congress, not the Obama administration, should be the branch of government offering the primary response to the court's ruling.
With a series of wins in cases such as North Carolina's, the Justice Department could reestablish the pre-clearance requirement in many places where it used to apply. The easier and fairer way to revive pre-clearance, however, would be for Congress to rewrite the formula for which places should be covered. The Supreme Court left lawmakers that latitude, and large bipartisan majorities in Congress historically have supported pre-clearance. If lawmakers want to get back to doing something productive, resuscitating the Voting Rights Act would be a good place to start.
Considering DOJ's obligations under the VRA, the Post's objection to legally holding states accountable for voter suppression would have been unnecessarily deferential to the legislative branch in any context. In the reality of a government shutdown, the Post's call that "[i]f lawmakers want to get back to doing something productive, resuscitating the Voting Rights Act would be a good place to start" is downright bizarre.
Under Republican control, the House of Representatives was already historically unproductive due to its ideological opposition to long-standing New Deal and Great Society law. Now that Republicans have shuttered the gates on a congressional session that had already become a legislative graveyard, DOJ's decision to not count on the House's ability to fix the VRA looks prescient.
Federal courts have already found that Texas' voter suppression efforts violated the VRA, and in the wake of Shelby County, North Carolina managed to pass restrictions on the right to vote that are widely considered to be just as patently illegal. But the Post asserts that DOJ should abandon these strong cases because the "easier and fairer" way to have the voter suppression of incorrigible states checked is ostensibly through Congress, and not the courts.
This unjustified claim would have been less shocking if it hadn't been made in the middle of a government shutdown of embarrassing and potentially catastrophic consequences. In the current mess, abandoning strong VRA lawsuits against Texas and North Carolina to a dysfunctional Congress makes no sense.

Georgetown University's David Cole to lecture on post-9/11 civil rights, Nov. 15
"The 10th anniversary of the tragedy of Sept. 11 presents an important opportunity for thought and reflection," said Peter Hammer, Wayne Law professor and director of the Keith Center. "We are honored to have Professor Cole, a leading expert, present the inaugural Keith Center Post-9/11 Civil Rights Fellowship Lecture. Individual rights and liberties are often most threatened at times of perceived national crisis. Law schools present an appropriate forum in which these difficult issues can be examined in a sober and thoughtful manner."
In addition to his role at Georgetown, Cole is a volunteer attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights, a legal affairs correspondent for The Nation, a regular contributor to the New York Review of Books, and a commentator on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." He is the author of six books. His first book, No Equal Justice: Race and Class in the American Criminal Justice System, was named Best Non-Fiction Book of 1999 by the Boston Book Review, and best book on an issue of national policy in 1999 by the American Political Science Association. Enemy Aliens: Double Standards and Constitutional Freedoms in the War on Terrorism received the American Book Award in 2004. Less Safe, Less Free: Why America Is Losing the War on Terror, published in 2007 and co-authored with Jules Lobel, won the Palmer Civil Liberties Prize for best book on national security and civil liberties. His most recent book is The Torture Memos: Rationalizing the Unthinkable (2009).
Cole has litigated many significant constitutional cases in the Supreme Court, including Texas v. Johnson and United States v. Eichman, which extended First Amendment protection to flag burning; National Endowment for the Arts v. Finley, which challenged political content restriction on NEA funding; and most recently, Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project, which challenged the constitutionality of the statute prohibiting "material support" to terrorist groups, making speech that advocates peace and human rights a crime. He has been involved in many of the nation's most important cases involving civil liberties and national security, including the case of Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen rendered by U.S. officials to Syria and tortured there.
Cole has received numerous awards for his human rights work, including from the Society of American Law Teachers, the National Lawyers Guild, the ACLU of Southern California, the ABA Section on Individual Rights and Responsibilities, and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
This lecture is free and open to the public. RSVP at http://events.wayne.edu/rsvp/post-9-11-civil-rights-lecture/#rsvp. Parking is available for $5 in Structure #1 across from the Law School on West Palmer Street.
