There are palpable tension in Jos, the Plateau State capital over the insistence of some muslim faithfuls to hold tommorow's Ramadan prayers at the Rukuba prayer ground located in a Christian dominated area.
About a week ago, it was authoritatively gathered that the faithfuls swore to use the location disregarding advice of political and religious leaders to shelve the plan.
It was learnt that the Special Task Force which has promised tight security had indeed pleaded that an alternative venue be used to avoid breakdown of law and order in what may result in a bloody clash.
Meanwhile the youths of Rukuba have vowed to resist any attempt to use the open ground. They believe the move is a delibrate affront on them and a threat to their territory. A resident said "If the tantrums from both sides is anything to go by, the fragile peace may once again be lacerated".
Jos North remains a volatile district owing to regular conflicts between Northern muslims and Middle Belt christians. This has over the years led to loss of hundreds of lives and destruction of properties.

My favorite moment: confusing elucidate and hallucinate.
THAT was an hour well spent! Reasonable discussion. Nazir did an excellent job of articulating his thoughts...
I found it extremely interesting that the State senator, a DEMOCRAT, BTW, was fully cognizant of the realities of the problem, not interested in taking guns or magazines; while the State representative, a REPUBLICAN, BTW, was worried about stigmatizing the mentally ill, and all for taking the guns off the street...
Thank you for that post...

I've sent this email to NCGV (the organization that Gail Neely represents) even though I'm not in NC.
"Did Gail Neely actually graduate from high school?
Just wanted to know, because I saw a video of a gun rights debate in Winston-Salem on Feb 8, 2013, and I could not believe the idiotic, ignorant statements that she believes as facts.
You need to show your ID to vote? Really? Where is this? Or does she not actually vote?
The Second Amendment was created to "stop insurrectionists"? And then she giggles and says, "That's absurd" when she is corrected? Are there no American History classes taught in NC? Or maybe she was asleep that period? Of course, she COULD have bothered to read the Bill of Rights before she tries to infringe on those rights, but what fun would that be, correct?
"90% of the American people, right now, right here, that want these laws put in place." "75% of NRA members that want these laws." Isn't it fun to make up statistics to suit your viewpoint? Have you ever looked at any REAL statistics, rather then making them up on the spot? Not nearly as satisfying, is it?
I won't even address the ignorant statements made by the other panelists supporting your position, but I did want you to know that there are citizens around the country that are watching even local debates like this, and forming their opinions based on facts, instead of on fantasy."
Now did anybody watch the video posted by cn262? That really was well done... and it's worth the hour to watch that... the other one is a waste of time...

I watched the hour-long video and I agree that it was probably a better discussion than many that have been recorded recently.

Martyrdom in Japan
The beatification of a group of Japanese Catholic martyrs.
And finally, a story that we didn't quite get time to bring you in last week's program.
The 17th and 18th centuries were a time of intense persecution for Catholics in Japan. The ruling shoguns devised punishments for anyone caught practising Christianity, punishments that made the cruellest ancient Roman emperors look like amateurs. And it's thought that during the persecution, as many as 50,000 people were killed, from babies to the elderly. Well, a couple of weeks ago, 188 of those Catholic martyrs were beatified at a mass celebrated in a Nagasaki baseball stadium, attended by a crowd of 30,000 people.
Among the worshippers was Father William Grimm, editor-in-chief of Japan's Catholic Weekly.
William Grimm: The Japanese bishops wanted to have a group of people who were representative of all the martyrs, so of the 188, 183 were lay people. Families covering all ages, the oldest of the group was 80, the youngest was two 1-year-old children. There were people who were members of the nobility, samurai, but then there were also farmers and fisherfolk. So that was the reason for doing it and the reason I think there was a huge response from Catholics in the country. Because this was the first time it was felt 'these are our people'.
David Rutledge: It happened in the late 18th century, the process with Rome to get these martyrs beatified has gone on for 27 years. It begs the question, why has it taken so long?
William Grimm: Well Rome requires a lot of documentation. The whole process started in 1981 when Pope John Paul was here and talked about the Japanese church as a church of martyrs, so the Japanese bishops said, 'Well, OK, it's time for us to get a really representative group.' And it took a few years to compile a list which people were they going to use, which criteria were they going to have. Then, was there sufficient documentation on these people? Did we know their names for instance. Some of them we don't have names for, we just have such-and-such a family, the names of the family and two of their servants, that sort of thing. Do we have any eye witness accounts of it? There were a surprising number of eye witness accounts of the martyrdoms, because frequently Christians were allowed to watch as a lesson. So just compiling all that information took years. Then it had to be sent to Rome and verified, and Rome is the Eternal City, they're not in any hurry. So actually 27 years is probably pretty quick.
David Rutledge: This is a ceremony that looks back, it's about history as much as anything else, but to what extent was it also a celebration of the strength of Christianity, today in a culture dominated by Shintoism and Buddhism?
William Grimm: Well I think the fact of getting 30,000 people to show up for it. And I think what it was, it's an opportunity for Japan's Catholics and other Christians as well - there wasn't a Catholic monopoly at the thing - to just say, 'We are here and we have been here, and we are a part of Japan's history.' Because for the most part, the martyrs are not looked at as being really much of a part of Japan. It belongs to some exotic religion from the West. I think it was just a chance for Japan's Catholics to stand up and say, 'Folks, we're here and we are Japanese.'
David Rutledge: Japanese traditionally have a syncretistic approach to religion, you know, you take a bit of Shinto here, a bit of Buddhism there, depending on what the situation requires, and all the while they can say that they're not particularly religious in a personal sense. Christianity makes a much more uncompromising demand for exclusive commitment. How easily do you think it fits in to Japanese culture?
William Grimm: Well obviously it doesn't fit in too easily. Japanese religion is a sort of a free-for-all, you take bits and pieces of what you need at different times, and the attitude is that religion is more a matter of the rituals that one does at different times. Whereas Christianity emphasises a relationship with God. Japanese religion's not so much tied in to the idea of a relationship that influences my day-to-day life. What Christianity calls for is something that's difficult for people to buy into, and frankly, difficult to buy into even in the West. We have a lot of I think Christians in the West who are Christian simply because it's the way you get around in society. It's what happened to them as children. But here, there's a real challenge to people, and it means that some of the most remarkable Christians I've ever run across are Japanese. They're not going to get killed for being Christians any more, but they're still looked upon as being somehow or other strange. To become a Christian makes such a break with their culture and their background with so little support. But these people have a really heroic faith.
David Rutledge: Is the sense that these people are a little bit different, is that as far as it goes, or is there a sense in which Christians are looked upon with something less than complete favour in Japan?
William Grimm: Well one example was when Pope John Paul was here 26, 27 years ago, I was watching the broadcasts of his mass here in Tokyo, and you could hear in the background sound trucks outside the stadium where the mass was being held, and they were shouting, 'Are you Japanese or are you Christians?' So certainly from the far right, there would be the sense that Christianity is something foreign and alien and probably shouldn't be here. Other people just have some peculiar notions about Christians. They assume that we're very good, and they couldn't become Christians themselves because the demands are too great.
David Rutledge: And that practical or ritualistic aspect that you see operating in Shintoism and Buddhism, does that feed into Japanese Christianity to an extent? I mean as an American yourself, do you look at Christianity as it's practiced in Japan and completely recognise what you see? Or is there something about it that is distinctively Japanese and different?
William Grimm: Well the first thing that's most noticeably different is just the amount of dedication. I can claim all sorts of credit for being a missionary, but oh boy, I can't hold a candle to these people. Some of the attitudes on rituals and such, a certain sense that things have to be done properly, that's a cultural thing I suppose. Any country that can turn drinking a cup of tea into a ceremony is going to expect well-done rituals. Japanese tend to focus I think in terms of 'what does it take to fulfil your responsibilities', whether those responsibilities are to a company, to the country, or to the church. At times they can actually become in my view, a little bit rule-bound. What are the rules that have to be obeyed to measure up? And if we don't obey the rules, then we're not being good at it. So that would be something I think we'd be a little less inclined to worry about in the West.
David Rutledge: Does that make them conservative Catholics?
William Grimm: For the most part I would say they tend to be somewhat more conservative than what I'm used to as a New Yorker, but the conservatism, it's not a reactionary conservatism, it still is one that holds very strongly to the sense that persecution only ended 140 years ago, and so it's important to hold on to what we've got. The church in Nagasaki is the prime example, because that's where the focus on persecutions were, and they're only now moving beyond, as their Archbishop says, 'the era of keeping the faith to becoming more of a church that shares the faith.' So people traditionally down there lived in tight knit communities of Catholics, and didn't make a big deal to outsiders about being Catholic. Now unusually, for the Japanese, they've tied up with the church in Korea to learn how things are done there, they've expanded a lot. One of the interesting things that's happening in Japan is the huge influx of immigrants, many of them from Brazil and the Philippines, who are Catholics, and the one place in Japanese society that's giving them a welcome is the Catholic church. People see them and say, Right, you know, you look funny, but you're one of us. Japanese society as a whole does not welcome the outsider, but the Christians of Japan have done a rather good job of it.
David Rutledge: Father William Grimm, editor-in-chief of Japan's Catholic Weekly, on the line there from Tokyo.
And that's the program for this week. Thanks to Noel Debien and John Diamond.

It's been awhile since I wrote anything about the European chemical legislation REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances). Under Reach regulations, substances that are manufactured or imported into the EU in quantities of more than 1,000 tonnes/year and hazardous substances must be registered up to the November 30 2010 deadline.
My colleague Anna Jagger recently had an interview with Geert Dancet, executive director of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), which supervises REACH. According to Dancet, companies currently have four months to add information to incomplete registration dossiers but ECHA could extend this to six months from 1 October 2010.
Check out Anna's interview on this video. Complete story is also available on ICIS News (subscription only). By the way. ICIS has a forum about REACH called ICIS Connect, if anybody wants to ask questions, get information, send out information or just lurk around and see what everybody is talking about regarding this legislation.

Congratulations greencup13! Let us know how it goes
After reading the other posts, I agree that curls are by no means unproffessional, and that the issue is really whether a person's hair, clothing, and appearance in general is well groomed. I personally have always worn my hair curly for interviews, regular work days, important meetings, etc. and never experienced any negativity or discrimination because of it (and I work for a large, conservative corporation). But there are definite stereotypes, especially in the media, about curly hair vs. straight hair. In my opinion, the romantic, free nature of curly hair is a beautiful counterpoint to the more rigid/structured aspects of the workplace, and I love to see other professionals rocking their curls.
2c/3a, botticelli/wavy/'swavy (huh?)
fine, dense, normal porosity/elasticity, dry climate
My favorite brands are Kinky Curly, As I am, Curly Kinks, Curl Junkie, and Darcy's Botanicals. Also love sealing with oils (loving argan oil right now) and styling with jelly products (KCCC is my current favorite).
Mostly trying to keep it simple!

I recently feel in love with sushi and have been to some resturants in Tulsa, OK but always knew if I went to the coast I could find amazing sushi. I was in Denver a while back and a friend recommended Sushi Den for dinner. I atmosphere was great and the sushi was amazing. Sushi Den is owned by a Japanese chef who flies in fish from Japan every week. I look forward to the day I can go back to Sushi Den.

China Glaze Creates Color-Changing Nail Polish
Posted Monday January 7, 2013 6:00 PM GMT
Remember mood rings? Now you can shift the attention to, and color of, your nails.
With the surge of innovation in the nail polish world over the past few years, it's no wonder that China Glaze is looking to set itself apart from the rest of the pack.
The beauty brand's new "Tranzitions Collection" is truly unique in that the various colors are all capable of shifting to new hues.
According to China Glaze, the six shades react to a clear top coat that can be applied in a plethora of different ways to really customize each nail.
Among the colors are dusty pink (shifts to fuchsia), mint green (vibrant teal), periwinkle blue (indigo), teal blue (turquoise), silver grey (blue charcoal), and smoky violet (dark purple).

One of the great things about summer lax is the unique uniforms you see on the field. Every year teams try to push the boundaries and get just a little more creative with what they're taking the field in and this year certainly hasn't disappointed.
Surely, you've heard of Illadelph's Quint Kessenich unis and there are definitely some others that are pretty classic — Century Engineering and Salt Shakerz (coming in Part 2) are a couple of my favorites so far.
From Century Engineering's sweater vest and khakis to Team Wedding Crashers' tuxedo printed jerseys, there is plenty to take in on the fields from a fashion perspective.
We started out the day catching IL/ESPN analyst Mark Dixon's masters team play. Despite the wet fields from the downpour early this morning, the team looked pretty good. We've also caught parts of other games here and there. Saw North Carolina FOGO R.G. Keenan on the field for the Crabs alumni team, which also has Duke's Christian Walsh on the roster.
With so many teams taking part in the tournament this weekend, we're going with two separate posts to cover all the uniforms out here so check back later for Part 2. In the meantime, sound off in the comments on which one you think takes the cake.

Introduces Gamma Knife Technology
Northside Expands Radiation Oncology Services at Atlanta Campus
Radiation therapy is one of the most common cancer treatment options. It involves the use of special equipment to deliver high doses of radiation in order to destroy cancer cells. Like surgery, radiation therapy is a localized treatment and may be used externally or internally (also known as brachytherapy) to eradicate cancerous tissues. It may be used alone, or in conjunction with other types of cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and surgery.
The recent expansion of our cancer center network provides a new level of convenience for our patients, allowing them to receive the most advanced treatments close to home. Northside cancer patients see success rates exceeding national averages.
Northside's Cancer Centers are accredited by the American College of Radiology.
Northside provides comprehensive radiation oncology services across our system including:
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) – A radiation delivery method that involves significant and complex computer planning. It's a technique for delivering highly controlled (modulated) radiation beams of varying intensities. This allows us to customize and sculpt the radiation dose to avoid or reduce exposure to healthy tissues. IMRT also limits the side effects of treatment while maintaining therapeutic doses to eliminate the cancer.
Rapid Arc IMRT – Delivers radiation directly to a tumor faster than the conventional IMRT. The treatment machine rotates 360 degrees around the patient in order to deliver the radiation to the tumor from multiple angles.
Gamma Knife – Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a non-invasive alternative to brain surgery. It is designed for treatment of malignant and benign brain tumors, vascular abnormalities and functional disorders. The Gamma Knife uses focused beams of radiation from 192 sources of cobalt 60 directed at the target. Thousands of Radiation Beams can be generated from these sources with a level or accuracy of better than 0.5 mm. By using so many beams, this allows for the optimal treatment plan to be generated to treat the target and at the same time minimize the amount of radiation to the surrounding healthy tissue. Due to the accuracy of the Gamma Knife Perfexion, the full dose of radiation can be delivered during a single session, even in situations where multiple tumors need to be treated. Treatments are delivered in the outpatient setting and the patient can return home the same day after the treatment is completed.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) – A highly precise form of radiation therapy that delivers focused beams with an accuracy of within one to two millimeters to area in the Brain.
Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) – Delivers precise radiation for treatment of small to medium size tumors in the body. SRT is usually prescribed for one to five sessions over the course of one to two weeks.
High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy – Uses catheters that are placed inside or very close to the tumor. The radioactive source is then inserted into the catheter and the treatment is delivered. This technique allows a maximum dose of radiation to be delivered to the cancerous tissues while limiting the radiation exposure to the healthy surrounding tissues. Upon completion of the treatment, the radioactive source and the applicator are removed.
Prostate Seed Implantation – An outpatient procedure that is performed in the operating room by an urologist and radiation oncologist. Radioactive seeds are permanently implanted into the prostate gland. The number of seeds and where they are placed is determined by a computer-generated treatment plan. Ultrasound imaging is utilized for guidance of the placement of the seeds.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy – Images are obtained of the patient while on the treatment table and in their treatment position. The treatment machine is equipped with special imaging technology that allows imaging immediately before and during the time the radiation is delivered. Using specialized computer software the images are compared to reference images taken during simulation. Any necessary adjustments are made to the patient's position or radiation beam in order to achieve precise and accurate treatment delivery to the treatment area while avoiding surrounding healthy tissues.
Vision RT – Vision RT provides the ability to accurately position and monitors the patient on the radiation treatment machine without exposing the patient to any additional radiation dose. While it can be used to assist with the treatment of a majority of radiation patients, there are certain procedures offered at Northside where the technology is an essential tool for treatment. For example, deep inspiration breath hold is a technique designed to minimize radiation dose to the heart for patients receiving radiation to their left breast. By taking a deep breath during treatment the patient's heart moves away from the breast tissue therefore reducing the heart dose. Vision RT provides visual feedback throughout the treatment procedure to ensure that radiation is only delivered when the patient is in the correct breath hold position. Similarly, the sub-millimeter precision of it offers the ideal tool to assist with the setup and monitoring of patients that are receiving very high radiation doses to small targets within the body.
Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) i.e. MammoSite, Contura, and SAVI – A form of brachytherapy used to treat breast cancer after a lumpectomy. Because the treatment works from inside the breast, a higher dose of radiation can be used for a shorter period of time (five days). The procedure involves inserting a small balloon inside the lumpectomy cavity, the radioactive source is placed inside the balloon and the treatment is delivered. Once treatment is completed the balloon is removed and the patient can return to normal activities.
CT Simulation with 4-D Gating – With this technology, the radiation oncologist is able to create a computer-generated treatment plan for delivering radiation to tumors that move when a patient breathes. An infrared camera connected to a CT scanner takes 4-D images in a video sequence that demonstrates how the tumor moves during the patient's normal breathing cycle. This enables the physician to determine how to deliver the desired radiation dose to the tumor with the most precision and minimal risk of damaging healthy surrounding tissue.
Total Body Irradiation (TBI) – Irradiation of the entire body, used primarily to prepare patients who are undergoing stem cell transplantation for hematologic conditions such as leukemia or lymphoma. TBI suppresses the immune system and kills diseased bone marrow cells, which helps reduce the risk of the patient's body later rejecting transplanted tissue and increases the likelihood of a successful transplant.

Napa River Inn
500 Main Street, Napa, CA
0.4 mi from
Went with wheelchair. Despite an old hotel, everything looked new, although maintaining the old fashion look, and barrier-free. Right restaurants on the block, right behind is the river with paved ramps and walkways, perfect for strolling in a wheelchair. Breakfast room service comes standard with the stay. Best wheelchair vacation.
Room was clean and beautiful. Beds had feather beds, down comforter, down pillows. Beautiful marble bathroom had robes and and all amenities. Very generous with towels. Breakfast from wonderful bakery next door was included and they pour you a glass of wine on check-in. Rooms had coffee maker, and they deliver water and chocolate later in the day. Walking distance to all of downtown restaurants, etc. Free wifi & parking. It was just perfect. nothing! It couldn't have been a better experience
The staff was very friendly and helpful in arranging a winery visit. Several of the "amenities" were closed or inaccessible during our stay. We were also placed in a room adjacent to the massive ac system which of course droned on during the whole of our stay, making it difficult to enjoy the balcony much less get a good night's sleep.
Standard Westin property. Good location for Napa Valley visit. Property seemed to be trying just a little too hard to be a super-luxury resort, but then came up short in delivery. Had to ask multiple times for items promised earlier. Front desk lost a package we left for another guest.
The rooms were spacious and I loved the pool area and the beauty of the facility. Being so close to the Silverado Trail was a bonus. It was pricier than it should have been.
Location Overpriced
Informal but attentive service,comfortable roomwhere everything worked . Young friendly helpful staff. Great breakfast. Walking distance toany shops and sites. I was at a Hyatt property,Pier 66, in Fort Lauderdale last month and it was BAD, a disaster and i almost canceled this booking glad I Didnt
The bed was uber comfy. Bathroom slider style door doesn't afford any privacy. Street rooms are very loud making it impossible to leave slider door open to enjoy the crisp Napa air. Inconvenient self parking, no real self park entrance to lobby for check in. Overall the condition of the room lacks consistent maintenance between guests, i.e. Unknown origin of wall stains in sleep room and bathroom. Will NOT return to this property for future stays in Wine Country.
Great breakfast, great location Great service
hotel itself is nice - rooms are great, location is great, free parking. check-in process and staff are not service-oriented at all. i was told the room would be ready (early) by noon, then when I arrived they said they didn't know when it would be ready, but they only guarantee by 4pm. At 4pm, they said that housekeeping was making up the room, but when I walked by the door, I could see that there was no one there. no apologies, no empathy. at 4:30pm, here was my exchange with them: check-in staff: they're working on your room right now me: 'no they're not, i just walked by the room and no one's there check-in staff: i'm not sure but they're working on your room right now me: i literally just walked by the room - there's no one working on it check-in staff: they're working on it right now, and we'll let you know as soon as its ready oh, and did i mention I have diamond status with Hyatt? Can't even imagine how they treat 'regular' customers.
The highs -Beautiful bathroom -Extremely fast check in -Complimentary wine -Complimentary non-alcoholic snacks and drinks in the room -The bed -The Decor -the SILENCE The Lows -That we stayed such a short time
Bed was comfortable. They placed us in a room that was the first one by the lobby and restaurant. It was loud and noisy. The balcony overlooked right into the restaurant's outdoor seating, which was very disturbing. So the 2nd night, I requested a change. They placed in another room that smelled like hospital. I wouldn't stay here again with cost/reward not attractive.
Decent room, most staff was very friendly Lost our reservation and ended up with a King + sofa sleeper instead of 2 queen beds. The staff at the restaurant seemed really rude.
The lobby area/bar was inviting, clean and comfortable. We had a glass of Napa wine by the fireplace and ordered appetizers. The back patio was inviting as well! Just a nice set up. People who had been in the fitness room working out, very sweaty, came straight to the breakfast room to eat without consideration for others. Gross!
The staff was very attentive and hospitable during our entire stay! A staff member greeted us at our car upon arrival to ask us for help and another member (RJ) turned on the fire pit for us when we were having a family lunch. My son gained a new friend. None
I loved the bathroom, it has a very romatic setting. I also loved hearing the birds in the morning very peaceful. I would recommend that you offer a welcome wine and cheese infront of your fireplace area. That would have topped it off for me.
Very clean people at the front desk were very helpful and were to go and how to get they! Would say just a very quint place to stay if you are going to wine country
great value for your money subpar lobby
The hotel is localized in a wonderfull place.Our room was at the river side,it was fantastic!! We didn't like the lack of room in the breakfast.
Hotel and rooms are nicely appointed first floor river view rooms have no view of the river
free continental breakfast, airline check-in kiosk, location, great staff
Hotel location is very good close to downtown riverfront and a quick walk to the oxbow market. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Nightly free wine tasting. They had smores kits available at the fire pit at no charge which was nice treat. I thought the shower was not hot enough and wish it was more high pressure
Good size room. Clean and functional. Common areas. Lobby and bar were very dark and uninviting. Looks like they may need a redo with some lighting. No bellman -- you're on your own with your bags.
Close to the sites in Napa that I was interested in. Staff was friendly, but not helpful. Desk clerk had been drinking when I checked in. Safe in room was broken, and staff didn't offer any solution. Probably only needed a new battery. Room was smelly
It was convenient and we were able to make a reservation last minute. The room was comfortable enough. How it looks when you approach the building. The arrows directing you through the parking lot send you what feels like the wrong way. There was a loud window unit in the room that did not have a temperature control and it did not work as it was supposed to.
close to River Walk area Room was small. Bathroom was tiny,
Location Broken handle on shower-bath fixture. Out dated furniture. Was on the third floor and the ice machine was on the ground floor and was outside the security door.
Staff very helpful with travel ideas With they had a large pool
The location was great, walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Napa wineries were only a 15-20 minute drive away. Very informative and friendly staff. Mostly clean. Small bed, funky smell in the room, what seemed like a couple blood stains on the wall behind the headboard and on the lampshade. The bathtub wouldn't drain one night, and then the toilet clogged on the same night. A staff member came as soon as we called to fix it. Used the plunger in the toilet and then used it again in the tub. Could hear upstairs guests walking around.

Serves 4
The pre-Colombian Tainos had no significant form of domestic or wild livestock, other than some species of aquatic birds or parrots, to complement their diet of tubers and seafood. The arrival of Columbus, and later the Spanish colonists, changed life in Puerto Rico through the introduction of every imaginable European wild and domesticated fowl. Quails, pheasants, ducks, geese, turkeys, chickens, pigeons, guinea hens, soon became commonplace on The Island.
As happens in nature, adaptation to the environment dictates the ratio of survival for species. On The Island, none of the wildlife species survived, but the domestic variety adapted well, and some chickens and cocks eventually evolved into regional breeds identified as del pais ("from The Island"). These are still bred today in small numbers on farms and in backyards by sentimental individuals.
I call the following recipe Taino Pollo Picante, as a personal tribute to the Taino Indians, who were not able to overcome the hostilities of a newly-imposed environment. And who ultimately chose not to adapt.
Garnish: lemon wedges
Serving Suggestions: Serve with White Rice and Black Beans, Puerto Rican style. On the side, an Avocado Salad would be great, as would any tender root vegetable.

Jonathan Swift's observation that satire is "a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own" almost certainly applies to moviemakers who ape the work of their peers with comic intent, as evidenced by a well-chosen selection of films on view in Boulder this week. Under the umbrella title "Parodies and Satires of Cinema," the Boulder Public Library Film Program will show Bending Hur, a 1925 parody of the great silent epic Ben Hur; History of the Cinema, John Halas and Joy Batchelor's delightful 1956 burlesque on the progress of movies to that point; Woton's Wake (1962), a parody of and homage to the films of Alfred Hitchcock, Ingmar Bergman and many others by the young Brian de Palma and collaborator William Finley; De Duva (The Dove) (1968), which takes comic shots at dark Bergman classics such as The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries; and Hardware Wars (1978), a thirteen-minute parody of the original Star Wars in the form of a theatrical trailer.
Screenings start at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 9, at the Boulder Public Library, 1000 Canyon Boulevard; admission is free. For information, call 303-441-3197.

New ***** for sale!
IDK if I can legaly put this here, but im gonna give it a shot, if i cant then just say so and you can delete it to if you want, but I couldn't find a spot in the classifieds that made sense with what im trying to sale.
Here is a new ********* im selling, it has red/white striping and a monster witha pompadore on the side of the front of the box. Here's a li nk to another board i am saling it on: *************
I am asking ******* for it total , and will ship only to those in the US. Please pm me with any questions, or an ything like that. You can post to buy here in the topic, pm me, or email me at ********.
Til Next Time
Advertising is not allowed on these boards. That is what the Classifieds are for.
yes but as stated, I couldn't find a spot that made sense with what I am trying to sale.
It does not make sense to me to advertise on a site that does not allow advertising....it also does not make sense that if your going to do it anyway...to put it in the HotRod Art forum.
It does not make sense to me for you to be a DICK!!!!!!!.......Two words....can you count that high? **** YOU!!!!! And your Pooch!
That pal............is good for 60 days suspension...............Maybe, you will learn not to be such a "******** Richard" when you return.
I needed a good giggle. This thread reads like a vaudeville skit, with Poncho62 providing the "ba-da-boom" on the snare drum.
Shame on you, Henry Highrise, for coldly stating the advertising policy! Can't you see that artistic license was involved in advertising outside the advertising section? It's your fault that buzzard on headers swooped in.
BTW, I have this really neat grease+gunk+dirt ball from cleaning the underside of a '49 Olds. Guaranteed to be somewhere between 31 to 57 years old. Since it's a _real_ work of art, and there's no Dirtball section in the classifieds ...
Nevermind. :D
This thread should be stickied. :thumbup: I laughed hard when he emphasized DICK!!!!!!!! Yet another person who gets all butthurt when you simply tell them advertising is not allowed. Oh well, I got my laugh for today at least. I'm sure he'll be laughing when he can't log on for 60 days, zing!
We'll be watching to see if he smartens up when he gets back or if the suspension becomes permanent.
You would be surprised. Many do come back. Some just to cause trouble, but in most cases they're dealt with pretty quickly. Some, once they realize we don't put up with the kind of crap that resulted in their suspension, actually come back and contribute to the board. We'll see in this case, but I'm not going to hold my breath....
What gets me is that Henry was stating what should have been obvious and received a sharp ad hominem attack as thanks. Now, either someone was wired to the gills on 'spresso, or else the plain facts hit bullseye on a deliberate attempt to sneak by the rule.
The organization and policies of HR are such that you don't have to dig through every forum to find what you're looking for. Things for sale are in the classifieds. Letting that slip would eventually lead to every forum being ad space.
Everybody screws up from time to time, but that one is just plain obvious. Best hope, IMO, is a return with, "Yeah, I shouldn't have tried that. Won't happen again."
Yep....all he had to do was say..Sorry I did not know that and then go edit his post. But no he had to be a _ _ _ _ I won't say it...I do not want to stoop to his level.
As someone who just happened onto this thread, I thought the guy was upfront about his intentions, saying it was OK to delete it.
Henry stated policy.. fine, as he should.
The guy tried to make an explanation...
Henry became obstinant.
The guy returns fire..
Moderator free for all.......
Maybe I have been here too long. :(
It takes all kinds to make life interesting - and most actually take the advice and abide the rules. I thought this was a pretty simple request and for someone to say "Oops - I screwed up and I'll move it to misc. parts for sale". HH, good job.

In 1925, the people of Dayton, Tennessee arrested a young science teacher, John Scopes, for teaching the theory of human evolution in public school. They dragged him from his classroom and threw him in jail to await trial. The town leaders called in the well-known biblical literalist and politician William Jennings Bryan to face off against famous (agnostic) defense attorney Clarence Darrow in "the trial of the century," and to help ensure Scopes' conviction.

ELSEWHERE: What Are The Clergy's Views On Faith And Science?
May 22, 2013 by Leave a Comment
In 2012, the Barna Group interviewed over 700 pastors from a wide range of churches and denominations regarding their views on creation and evolution, faith and science. The results have recently been posted, and in some ways, they're not surprising (e.g., the majority of clergy subscribed to some version of young earth creationism). There was also considerable agreement on the importance of faith/science questions, and whether pastors should address scientific issues in their ministry. … [Read more...]

Machine Code Challenges Amazon's Mechanical Turkers
A recent experiment asks: who's better - "the crowd," or the computer?
Researchers at the review site Yelp wanted to see if Amazon's Mechanical Turk was indeed better at cataloging than a machine algorithm. They tasked 4660 Turkers to identify the proper category for a business based on a multiple choice test. Of the sample, only 79 were successful. The 79 successful Turkers were then split into groups of three and each group given a second task of categorizing businesses. The 79 Turkers scored around 62% accuracy. They then sent the same set of tasks to a supervised learning algorithm – a Naive Bayes classifier, to be precise. The results showed that the algorithm succeeded about 80% of the time, handily beating the Turkers by a wide margin. The results suggest one of two things (or possibly both): that the Mechanical Turk process needs to be refined to encourage better work, or that perhaps crowdsourced cataloging is steadily being threatened by the growing sophistication of machine algorithms. In either case, the future of work is likely to be influenced by more such challenges pitting humans against their machine counterparts.

With the warm weather I'm really considering shutting the AA down. It's a matter of heat in my garage that I don't need in the summer.
Our family is the typical four. Two men, one woman, and one girl that thinks she's 25 already. Previous to tying an indirect on with the AA we used a 30 gallon LP water heater. It's old, probably has less insulation than some of my long johns, and a pilot light. On top of that all is the fact that three of us shower between 7:15 and 8:00AM. The last person in usually isn't a happy camper when using the propane.
I'm wondering what you guys think of either a new tankless or just a new, more energy efficient tank style water heater. Electric is out of the question unless you own electric company stock here.
The big drawback I see with a tank style is the open center allowing heat to escape constantly. Could one put an electric operated damper on the exhaust to close when the burner is off?

CHRB investigating sudden deaths at Hollywood, Santa Anita
ARCADIA, Calif. – At least seven instances of sudden death have occurred in Thoroughbreds at Hollywood Park and Santa Anita since late November, according to a source who has seen the necropsy reports. Incidents of sudden death are being investigated by the California Horse Racing Board although it was not clear from comments made at a Thursday board meeting whether the rate of sudden deaths was unusual or whether the deaths were somehow linked.
When asked on Thursday for more details, racing board chairman David Israel said, "We can't comment on an ongoing investigation."
At least two of the horses who died – Consulado and Miners Daughter – were trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert. Other Thoroughbred trainers with horses who suffered sudden death in recent months are Myung Kwon Cho (Riveting Reason), Kathy Walsh (Coolofthevening), Sean McCarthy (Glory Quest), Mike Mitchell (Truism), and Jack Van Berg (Warren's Hottie).
Baffert declined to discuss the instances of sudden death when approached at his stable during morning training at Santa Anita on Thursday. "I'm not going to comment on that," he said.
According to several published reports, Baffert has had as many as seven instances of horses suffering sudden death in the last 16 months. During that time, there was at least one prominent instance of sudden death in a Baffert-trained runner when the 5-year-old Irrefutable collapsed after finishing second in the Vernon Underwood Stakes at Hollywood Park in November 2011.
Glory Quest never raced and was stricken by a heart attack shortly after a workout at Santa Anita in late February, McCarthy said on Thursday.
"She had a heart condition that we never knew about," McCarthy said. "I don't know if a valve broke or if she had a weak valve. She never showed any signs of anything."
Truism suffered a heart attack at Santa Anita in early March, Mitchell said.
"He never skipped a day of training," Mitchell said. "He was strong as an ox. It was a heart attack. It took everyone by surprise."
Walsh said that Cooloftheevening was stricken as she was walking off the track after exercise in early January, and appeared to have suffered a heart attack-related injury.
At a racing board medication and track safety committee meeting at Santa Anita on Wednesday, Dr. Rick Arthur, California equine medical director, said that 20 sudden deaths of all breeds of racehorses throughout the state were reported in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011; 19 in 2011-12; and 17 in the current fiscal year, through Tuesday.
Arthur declined to comment on specific instances of sudden death in racehorses after the full board's meeting on Thursday.
At Thursday's racing board meeting, commissioner Bo Derek reiterated Arthur's findings to the committee in a summary of Wednesday's meeting.
"Sudden deaths has not spiked in California," Derek said. "Dr. Arthur clearly reported that number of sudden deaths has been consistent in the past 20 years in the neighborhood of 20 per year.
"To be clear on another point, no trainer or trainers have been mentioned."
Without discussing specific cases, Arthur said on Thursday that the leading causes of sudden deaths include cardiac failure; respiratory issues, such as excessive bleeding; and vascular failure, such as a ruptured aorta.
Arthur said on Wednesday that two of the horses who have died suddenly in the last five months were found to have rat poison in their systems during necropsies.
Arthur said that in the two incidents in which horses tested positive for rat poison the deaths of the unnamed horses were attributed to internal hemorrhage. He said foul play was not suspected and that the level of rat poison found was at "trace level."
Derek said on Thursday that the rat poison found in the horses was not the same material used by Hollywood Park and Santa Anita for pest control.
At of all the horses stabled in the state 7 horses died from sudden death, come on people, this is just another story once again to give the Sport Of Kings a black eye.
Sometimes when a horse is injected with a syringe, it can die within seconds from anaphylatic shock. Don't ask me about the bilogogical causes but it happens. I always handicap with drugs in mind. If a trainer is a known drug user, then I decide whether he's trying to win dirty and if I should bet and win dirty also. It used to be the cheap horses were the lab rats for betting but now with the excess amount owners spend on horse flesh to win the "Grade Ones", anything goes for their future investment in the breeding shed or sales ring. How good was Smarty Jones?....good on the track and poor at stud. What about super horse Curlin? We all know about Big Brown. Without the steroids he would have been called Little Brown. It would be nice to see their offspring carrying on the bloodlines, or was their anything in the blood biologically that could be inherited in the first place? EPO use in soccer players finds their blood "sludging" and they drop dramatically to the pitch with heart attacks. I have cause to beleive Paynter suffered the same fate last year (no heart attack of course) but I can't say how the horse managed to purchase and inject it himself. Anytime a really good horse goes off in performance, be suspicious punters. Ask yourself how good the horse would have been with just plain old hay and oats. Hank Aaron knows how good he was and we all know how good Barry Bonds turned out to be in the courtroom. And then there's A-Rod, Manny, Mark and Canseco - the first to spill the beans and everybody said he was a liar. How good of liars are today's trainers? Baffert, it is stated, is a Hall of Fame trainer. I beg the question, "Which Hall of Fame"? There appers to be two kinds of fame or maybe its better called infamy or notoriiety these days. Say, what does Lindsay Lohan do for a living besides drugs? There's no Hollywood past performances to warrant her infamy. Give credit where credit is due.....the possee is still out looking folks....
almost as many in 3 months as in an entire year and they claim it is proportionate? Come on I'm not necessarily saying something is wrong but do question it.
Paynter comes to mind as he had unexplained complications. Horses running out of their skins suddenly and at a young age is unexplained as well. I've been away from the game for a few years. Observing how horses perform today without foundation and without logical progression makes me wonder about the integrity of the sport, and the lack of apparent horsemanship from prominent owners makes me wonder what the heck are they doing in this sport. As for the trainers of top performers less than 5% of their horses are lasting more than a handful of races. If it talks and walks like a duck, it's a frigging DUCK!
Terrible, a disgrace. First of all, I would do away with race horse insurance. There was a scam going on in Yonkers Raceway back in the day when I worked there. trainers and some vets were killing horses for insurance money. I owned horses and I NEVER carried any kind of race horse insurance. First of all, I was a do it yourself stable. Did everything. myself. I would not have been able to afford insurance anyway. I think it is so sad that someone who works with a horse everyday would do such a thing. I hope that they find anyone who was involved.
They give pills to people for everything, why not horses?? Same stupid concept, drugs kill people everyday, who talks about that ?? We wouldnt have all these positions available for all these wonderful doctors we have today if we didnt allow them to give us drugs ! How many horses r stabled in all of Calif. Does that include Los Al. must be 8000 at least. 20 deaths really people!!
To all the peta lover's, who have no intrest in horseracing, but like to leave idot like comment's.................reply here.
Bo Derek says no spike in deaths. That's it - investigation over.
Baffert no comment???? WTF! you put a camera or microphone on this guy any other time and he never shuts up. The volumes this speak about how much of a cheater of the sport he really is. -- Two faced.
I know one thing, the insurance companies just had to shell out a WHOLE lot money!

The "Dancing with the Stars" pro dressed casually in a gray button-down shirt, blue jeans, and a gray beanie while his gorgeous sister rocked a red and black plaid button-down, black T-shirt, and black jeans as they headed back outside.
Before stepping into the QVC's FFANY Shoes On Sale (October 1), Julianne Hough chatted exclusively with GossipCenter on the Waldorf Astoria's red carpet in New York City.
The 25-year-old bombshell rocked a stunning Marc Jacobs gown with a sultry red lip and dished to us about her bestie Nina Dobrev, her brother Derek's big Emmy win and her new role on "Dancing with the Stars."
Mixing old Hollywood glamour with theatrical, modern dance moves, "Dancing with the Stars" celebrated Hollywood night on Monday evening's episode (September 30).
Taking the stage first was "King of Queens" beauty Leah Remini and her partner Tony Dovolani who danced a James Bond inspired Rumba to the tune of a 24 out of 30.
Competition is fierce in the new season of "Dancing With the Stars," and yesterday (September 23) the contestants looked focused as they prepared for the evening's performances.
Thankful for some family support from his mom Sharon Osbourne and sister Kelly Osbourne, Jack Osbourne seemed to be in good spirits as he strolled around outside the Hollywood studio.
Supporting her reality competition series with her nominated brother, Julianne Hough showed up at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles earlier tonight (September 22).
The "Dancing with the Stars" champ was all smiles as she posed with Derek Hough the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, showing off her designer duds as fans and photographers looked on.
Taking time for some R & R in the Big Apple, Julianne Hough sat down for dinner at the Hakkasan restaurant for some Chinese (September 20).
The "Safe Haven" hottie looked stunning in a glamorous white shirt tucked into a gray skirt and high heels, holding a silver clutch.
Look at those abs! Julianne Hough shows 'em off after an intense workout at a Studio City, California gym on Friday (September 6). She's gotta look good for new boyfriend Ari Sandel.
The former pro (and two-time champion) on "Dancing With The Stars" has clearly moved on from her former beau Ryan Seacrest. She and Sandel became an item back in July and have been spotted at various restaurants and clubs throughout the Los Angeles area.
Taking care of her to-do list, Julianne Hough hit up the Tracey Anderson Gym in Studio City, California on Wednesday (August 28).
The "Footloose" starlet looked sporty in her workout gear, later heading over to Spot! in West Hollywood to purchase some doggie steps for her pooch pal.

Hello again!! My girlfriend Sugar and I have started a group called Dogville-The Place For Dogs. If you would be kind enough to join you can post anything you want or invite any dog you want, just as long as its allowed. So please join! Thank you!!
Hello to all my dog buddies!! This is my first diary entry...I hope you enjoy. This morning, I ran around the house like a maniac (man was it fun!).After that, I ate all my breakfast so now I'm stuffed. So now the only 2 things I can do are sleep, and annoy my owners by following them. And sometimes, I think of how my sister is a cat. I really can't seem to figure it out. My mom was a dog, my dad was a dog, so how could my sister be a cat?? I thought, oh I know, I can just ask one of my owners. But that's when I realized, I can't talk. Oh well, I'll keep thinking about it. Until then, I'll be sleeping. Good night!

A Cloud withdrew from the Sky
Superior Glory be
But that Cloud and its Auxiliaries
Are forever lost to me
Had I but further scanned
Had I secured the Glow
In an Hermetic Memory
It had availed me now.
Never to pass the Angel
With a glance and a Bow
Till I am firm in Heaven
Is my intention now.

Submitted to: Zootaxa
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/7/2008
Publication Date: 6/6/2008
Citation: Prena, J. 2008. A synopsis of the orchid weevil genus Orchidophilus Buchanan (Curculionidae, Baridinae), with taxonomic rectifications and description of one new species. Zootaxa. 1783: 18-30. Interpretive Summary: Many organisms have been introduced inadvertently to foreign regions by global trade and traffic. Orchid weevils are one such example. Although not particularly common in their native range, they have become notorious hitchhikers since the onset of the global trade of orchid cultivars approximately 100 years ago. In the United States, at least six species have been intercepted, one of which now is established in Hawaii. Their sporadic and locally confined appearance all over the world has led to numerous isolated studies and inconsistent views regarding their names. Most strikingly, many local authorities consider these weevils to be regional problems and are unaware of their global importance. This paper provides an overview of our knowledge of these insects, clarifies their scientific names, and promotes general awareness toward introduced species. This information will be valuable to those in the orchid trade and action agencies such as APHIS.
Technical Abstract: Six species of the weevil genus Orchidophilus Buchanan are recognized: O. epidendri (Murray) comb. n. (=Acythopeus genuinus Pascoe syn. n., =Baris orchivora Blackburn syn. n., =Apotomorhinus orchidearum Kolbe syn. n.), O. aterrimus (Waterhouse), O. eburifer (Pascoe) comb. n. (=Acythopeus gilvonotatus Barber syn. n.), O. peregrinator Buchanan, O. ran Morimoto, and O. insidiosus Prena sp. n. These species appear to be native to Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and possibly Thailand and Australia but are dispersed frequently with orchid cultivars by global trade. Orchidophilus aterrimus has been intercepted most frequently and now is established in several Indo-Pacific regions outside its native range. Nearly as common as, and occasionally confused with the former is O. epidendri. Orchidophilus ran is of some significance in Japan and Korea, while O. peregrinator, O. eburifer, and O. insidiosus were intercepted occasionally at scattered locations before 1970. An identification key for the six species is provided. Lectotypes are designated for Baridius aterrimus Waterhouse, Acythopeus genuinus Pascoe, Baris orchivora Blackburn, and Apotomorhinus orchidearum Kolbe; a neotype is designated for Centrinus epidendri Murray.
