These are both terrific and they each have a totally different feel which is really cool seeing that it's the same photo. You're getting very good with the editing, Perry.
As for a favorite, I do like the golden light in the first one, but there's also a soft subtlety that is lovely, too. And that is a great barn! Hope you have a great weekend!

When You're Sad
When you're sad:
1. Write letters to the people you love. Don't seal them; don't send them. Instead, stick them between the pages of library books.
2. Eat raspberries off your fingertips.
3. Venture outside and observe natural life. Watch a honey bee suck the nectar from lavender plants. Watch a snail slowly make its way towards the shade of a tree. Watch a hummingbird innocently fly above your head. Realize how insignificant you are.
4. Smile at strangers; say hello. It will improve their day and your own.
5. Write lists. They can be about anything.
6. Read several pages of the dictionary. Learn new words. Write down the ones you wish to remember.
7. Never feel compelled to apologize when you don't feel sorry. It's okay that you're honest. It's okay that you have a different opinion from someone else.
8. Read books and watch movies from your childhood. A healthy dose of nostalgia is okay. Immerse yourself in your past innocence.
9. Walk to a park and get on a swing. Go as high as you can; feel limitless. The world is yours.
10. Eat if you're hungry. Food is not the enemy. You are a human and need food to survive. You deserve to eat. Put those raspberries on your fingers and sprinkle sugar on your tongue. Taste the summer breeze and sweet aroma of jasmine flowers.
11. Don't marinate in your sadness. You are not a steak. You are a person; you're irreplaceable. Open yourself up to contentment. Bathe in the rivers of Glee. Go for hikes with Satisfaction. Sleep in a warm cocoon of blankets with Bliss. Let endless happiness overcome your hopeless sadness. You deserve to be happy. If life is a game and you are the referee, be biased for once and let happiness win.

Postgame quotes after the Revs fell to Toronto FC at BMO Field on May 22, 2010.
Thoughts on game….
"Obviously a really tough game, we came out of the locker and the first second of the game we had an incredible chance to take the lead. We don't score and then a few minutes they had a really good chance and Stefan makes a save – or hits him in the face or whatever you call it but he did a good job standing up and he makes an important save for us."
"It wasn't the prettiest game you'll ever see in your life but you see two teams that came and fought and two teams that were depleted with the guys – so we knew from that perspective it would be a tough game for us. Coming off a big road trip it was important for us not to give away anything silly and we managed to do that. At the end of the day we scored a goal."
Was asked about what's change since the last loss 4-1 at NE…
"Well, I thought in New England in the first 45 minutes we played really good. We were leading 1-0 and then we made a couple mistakes and a couple of minutes later we are losing 2..3-1. I think we've come a long way; the group is working hard now they believe in each other they are working for each other. That's why you see we are getting a little bit of success."
Talks about missing some regulars in the backline…
"Obviously Jules (de Guzman) and Dwayne (DeRosario) weren't here as well but they are all important players in this team, not just the 11 guys that you see most often, it's everybody. We are a big family, a big team and we win or lose together."
On the save he made early, that went off him….
"It was just more fortunate that he put it very close to me, I mean too close for me to get my hands up so I just tried to make myself big go up, and it was enough to get the ball out. The few chances they had their crossing was pretty good Joseph was open 3 times in the second half…and haven't seen miss too many chances so we were fortunate there. It went our way today and we got the 3 points."
Thoughts on game…which was difficult
"Yeah considering we had a 3 game road trip, then coming back here finishing up the week on a high we did a great job and came thought with the 3 points and the victory."
On backline playing well…
"I think we are getting the "jist" of everyone's tendencies now and we're showing that great in the back, as well as in the midfield and up top. I think game in and game out moving forward we're just getting used to one another and it's only going to get better."
Thoughts on game…
"One-zero was disappointing. I think towards the end of the match we had a couple of chances and we could have put away and we deserved at least a point out of it. Just a bit disappointing. I think we just take care of the ball better and we'll do better the next match."
"I think they played well as a team, they scored the goal that they needed and they prevailed at the end."
On the atmosphere in BMO Field…
"They have the support behind them I think it does a lot for MLS and for them also, you can't say enough about this crowd they were behind them 100% and they were awesome."
Thoughts in general…
"I thought we deserved something out of it, you know we lost the game but it was our own doing. We didn't pass the ball well and whenever we did we weren't dangerous but we didn't do it often enough."
"It's always good to play here – one of the best. Good place to come, good place to play unfortunately we just didn't play it as often as we should of done when we had the ball."

This is an easy trick for windows 9x and I'm sure most of u know it, but if you dont then u can learn it from here.
R u tired of your boring Start up screen? Want to make it cool and funky?
Then try this-
STEP 1- Go to MS Dos and Type
Attrib *.sys
[Press enter\Return]
This will bring this list on the screen-
SHR C:\MSDOS.sys
SHR C:\IO.sys
A SHR C:\CONFIG.sys
A SHR C:\logo.sys
On some computers, u may not have the last item on the list. There could be a file called logow.sys or the file could be present in the windows folder. In those cases, you should copy logow.sys to drive c from the windows folder. If u r a newbie and u don't know how 2 do so, then just type the following-
cd windows
[Press enter\Return]
copy logow.sys c:
You can also do this by using drag and drop method or copy, paste. (RMEMEBER, I SAID COPY, PASTE AND NOT CUT, COPY, PASTE) But this method can be insecure because one can easily mess up with the files. So always keep backups of your files.
This file is hidden system file and a read only file. To remove these attributes,
STEP 1- Go to MS DOS
STEP 2- Type the following-
[Press enter\Return]
attrib logo.sys -s -h -r
This command will remove the attributes.
Next Go to MS Paint, open the file and fiddle with it. Save it back in its folder with the same name and extention.
Then set the same attributes by going to MS DOS and typing-
attrib logo.sys +s +r +h
Now exit MS Dos and restart your computer.
Enjoy your new screen.
(There r some softwares which can do the same but there is no fun using somebody else's software and call yourself a computer enthusiast)

David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' Is Now a Free Digital Children's Book
Artist Andrew Kolb has re-imagined the song 'Space Oddity,' David Bowie's epic tale of disaster in the great beyond, as an illustrated children's book, borrowing Bowie's lyrics for the narrative.
However, since Kolb didn't secure the rights to the song, he realized that Bowie's legal team would be all over him if he tried to sell it. So instead he's offering it as a free PDF download on his website. Check out the first few pages of the book below:

- 1 cup milk
- 8 oz. bowl of Cool Whip
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine ricotta, sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix well.
- In separate bowl, prepare cake "batter" according to directions. Pour into a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan.
- Spoon cheese mixture over unbaked cake batter. Bake for 1 hour. Cool completely.
- Mix instant pudding with milk. Fold in whipped topping.
- Spread over cake, refrigerate until ready to serve.
Terri's Notes
Don't like Chocolate? A listener, Lori Turba-Rogers, sent this tried and true version of their own favorite. Substitute a vanilla cake mix for the chocolate one. Spread cooled cake with a can of raspberry pie filling. Frost with the Cool Whip mixed with White Chocolate flavored pudding mix. MMMMMMMM!!!!
It occurs to me, that spreading a can of Cherry pie filling between the cooled cake and pudding mixture would be great in either version of this fabulous dessert!

We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Start a chat or call us at 1-888-537-6600.
Hi I'm Sheryl
I'm an urban school teacher. Building strong friendships is important to me. I love my family. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
After returning home from a full-time mission in South Africa, I realized I couldn't help everybody everywhere, but I could help somebody somewhere. Becoming a teacher was the way I felt like I could fulfill that personal mission. I love meeting new people and strengthening the friendships I already have. There are many things that I consider fun: hanging out with my family, eating great food, being a matchmaker and dancing!
Why I am a Mormon
When I was 10 years old two young men (missionaries) came to our door and I knew right away that what they had to say was what I was missing in my life. From that point, every good choice I've made has been because of my Church membership (choosing where I went to college, deciding to serve a mission, choosing my profession). When one truly understands who they are as a child of God and that they have a purpose here in life, as I've learned through my membership, then anyone can be happy. That's what the gospel of Jesus Christ has done for me; helped me to be happy because I have found God's truth.
How I live my faith
Attending church every Sunday possible allows me to remember the promises I made at baptism and the lessons I learn while attending strengthens me. Inviting my friends and family to come with me to church to learn more about my faith is something that's important to me. I know this is God's true church on the earth. I must share it with others. Praying daily to my Heavenly Father allows me to give thanks and ask for guidance in my life.

My Neighbor Totoro In Virtual Reality: An anonymous reader writes "Nick Pitton, the developer behind the Spirited Away Boiler Room VR experience, has released his second project: the bus stop scene from Studio Ghibli's famous movie My Neighbor Totoro, once again in virtual reality for the Oculus Rift. Pittom 'hand-painted' the textures in Photoshop to recreated the painted-background feel of the movie. For the characters (Totoro and the Catbus) he used a cel-shaded approached to approximate the animated look from the movie. For his next project, he plans to recreate the ship and characters from the acclaimed anime Cowboy Bebop."

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving tops the list as one of our favorite holidays. A day for family, friends and feasting, we also love that Thanksgiving sets aside an opportunity for us to reflect on yet another year passed and give thanks to all the wonderful things that have brought us joy! This year we asked our editors and writers to tell us what they are thankful for this season, and to share some of the amazing things the year had in store for them. We'd also love to hear what you're thankful for too, so read on and share some of your own sentiments with us ahead!
JILL, Founder and Editor-in-Chief: This year I want to give thanks for my wonderful husband and my supercutey little boy, who has taught me so much in the two short years that he has been in my life. I'm thankful for my family's health, and I'm thankful for New York CIty – best city in the universe! I'm thankful for population density, roasted 'Nuts 4 Nuts' chestnuts, the subway and for good infrastructure, tofurkey, vegan cupcakes, pumpkins, and city planning. I'm also really really thankful that I've been able to make a living talking about my passion in life: design. And since so much of that is made possible by the awesome Inhabitateam, of course I must extend a deep deep thank you to all of our fabulous writers, editors and Inhabistaff who keep the website running and constantly up-to-date with great stories on green design. I know that I probably don't express my gratitude and appreciation enough to you guys, but I am thrilled and honored to be surrounded by such an amazing group of smart and talented people who really care about what's going on in the world and have the passion to try to make the world a better place through the power of good design. And readers – I love you too! Thank you for reading our website, without you there would be no Inhabitat. Thank you for caring!
MIKE, Managing Editor: This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for all of the energy and excitement that is surging through the green zeitgeist. The USGBC recently announced that green buildings are on the rise despite the depression, and Greenbuild 2010 just capped off a record attendance of over 27,000 people, proving that interest and enthusiasm in creating a more sustainable future keeps on building. I'm also thankful for our incredible team of writers and editors who inspire and amaze me every day, and for our vital community of readers who encourage us, challenge us, and keep the conversation moving. Happy Thanksgiving!
YUKA, Senior Editor: This year, I'm thankful for happy mediums. Back when I first started writing for Inhabitat, I was a little militant about the whole green movement – so much so that my own family and friends would hide or roll their eyes every time I would walk into a room and see plastic cups being used or someone not sorting trash properly. My sister and I even got into a pretty ugly argument about water usage (I take full responsibility for the fight now that I realize no one likes someone hovering next to them and controlling the water pressure while they wash dishes). In terms of buying things, I'd put myself on a strict "green only" shopping policy and would not even purchase essentials unless they were organic, recycled or secondhand.
But that was then. Now, I'm way more relaxed about living an eco-friendly lifestyle, and while it may seem counter-intuitive, breaking some of my own rules has helped me save more energy and create less waste. Since I buy less things, I make my purchases things that I will really use for a long time, regardless of whether they are made from green materials. After all, a pair of durable, non-organic cotton jeans that you love will last you way longer than a pair of 100% organic cotton jeans that you are "meh" about. I also think my more chill attitude is helping me be a better spokesperson for the green cause since I'm no longer driving people crazy by forcing them to be eco-friendly. I'm also thankful that my friends and loved ones didn't run away or try to silence me during my slight lapse of judgement!
REBECCA, Communications Manager: This year I am especially thankful for the fact that I am surrounded by wonderfully talented, hilarious and intelligent people (yes they are all that amazing), who challenge what I know on a daily basis. With life being so unpredictable it's their presence that makes it all worth while. I'm also thankful for the pizza place that just opened across the street from my Brooklyn apartment.
DIANE, Architecture and Design Editor: This year I'm incredibly thankful for three things: 1. My oh-so amusing, interesting, intelligent, and inspiring family, friends and coworkers (go team!); 2. The opportunity to explore, learn and write about things I love on a daily basis and get paid for it; and 3. Those giant bags of tiny clementines that always make their appearance around this time of year at Trader Joe's. The days really just get better and better, and sometimes I just can't believe how lucky I am. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
BETH, Inhabitots Editor: I am thankful that there seems to be an increasing shift in consciousness among consumers who want the best for their families and the planet. People are starting to regularly question the quality and ethics behind how everything is made, from food to clothing, and I hope this tide of awareness causes a sea of change in the marketplace and in the way things are produced. On a personal note, I am most grateful for the birth of my healthy and adorable son in August, and for our darling 3 year-old, who is the best teacher we could ever ask for when it comes to living a compassionate life.
BRIDGETTE, Architecture Editor: This year I'm thankful that global warming hasn't hit Park City yet, as we've already received over 4 feet of snow and it's not even December. I'm happy to be both an artist and a writer, both passions of mine, and actually get paid for both. I'm stoked to have a ton of active, interesting and loving friends who are always down to go play and do something fun. And finally, I appreciate all of my family who have always supported and encouraged me in my decisions and my life.
BRIT, New York Editor: I am thankful that Thanksgiving in my family is always full of local, farm fresh ingredients and great people. I'm thankful for the freshly painted bike lane outside my Brooklyn apartment and the new bike stop lights popping up all over New York City proper. I'm thankful to be a part of the Inhabitat team which gets to say "thanks" every day to the great people around the world doing amazing things to help the environment. I'm also thankful for our readers for making it possible to spread these ideas to the farthest reaches of this amazing planet.
TIMON, Contributing Writer: I am thankful for the fact that I have managed to get tickets for the Rugby World Cup(!), that my central heating is working in mid-November, for my girlfriend, and that I have managed to fix my bike's gears so that I can cycle around my hometown of Bristol.
ANDREW, Green Building Writer: As a child, Thanksgiving was traditionally the day where my family would see who could eat the most, and my grandfather "Pinepaw" would always win. This year my wife and I are celebrating Turkey Day with a simple meal at our home and we'll be enjoying the magnificent wild turkeys that occasionally drop by. I am grateful to be reminded of my family's tradition, although I may prove to be too much competition this year.
KESTREL, Operations Assistant: My name is Kestrel — therefore, I am innately programmed to fly away at any given moment because my wings are an integral part of who I am. Having had the opportunity to join the Inhabitat Team recently fills me with thankful thoughts, because it allowed me to fly to New York, and begin a new chapter of my life in this exhilarating city. However, I am also overwhelmingly thankful for each and every moment of this past year that I was able to spend at home with my mom, dad, and brother Forest while I was on the job search that led me here. My family concurrently grounds me and brings me inspiration for flight.
EVELYN, Los Angeles Editor: This year I'm thankful to have enough money in my pocket to share a Thanksgiving feast with friends. I'm thankful for my creative friends and their countless, wonderful ideas to turn something old into something radically unique and totally gift worthy. And I'm thankful for all those in the Inhabitat community that push us to make sure we're posting is the latest and greatest in sustainable design. Thank you readers!!!
LEA, Contributing Writer: I'm thankful for my dog, whose excitement for nature reminds me everyday to stop and smell the roses…and trees, and fallen leaves, and sticks, and rocks, and the neighbor's fence. Oh so many things to pay attention to outdoors!
JULIE, Inhabitots Editor: I'm grateful for my husband-to-be who makes every day that much better, and for the sure-to-be-wonderful little wedding we're planning that's only 6 months away. I'm thankful for every day I get to take my dog Leo to the neighborhood park and watch the seasons change beautifully before my eyes. And I'm also grateful for all the little things that make my world go round — good friends, amazing family, cupcakes, sunshine, inspiring work, and IntenSati, which keeps gratitude in my heart on the 364 days of the year that are not Thanksgiving.
FRIDA, Contributing Writer: Apart from what's right in front of me for which I am thankful everyday – like a fantastic and loving fiancée, waking up in a city that cares about me and being healthy – I would like to give special thanks this day to the fact that I have an education and am able to live off of doing what I love. I'm thankful for being able to inspire and affect people with my words on different levels, especially in a design world seemingly oriented around glossy surfaces and shallow ideologies with an 'accepting' rather than 'questioning' attitude. Thanks for listening.
MOE, Contributing Writer: The day after Thanksgiving I'm off to Cancun for the United Nations Conference on Climate Change. I'm thankful that it's happening. I'm thankful for the Kyoto Protocol, which, if you read in the right light, is kind of heartwarming. I'm thankful for my family and friends – they literally keep me from going insane when the news is too dark, or when the world is annoying the crap out of me. Mostly, I'm thankful for moments of clarity, those times when I can really appreciate all the gifts in my life. Also, I'm thankful for vegan turkey. That stuff is dope.
JAMIE, Contributing Writer: I'm thankful for my family, friends, good books, season 2 of Community, my lovely little cat and media rate shipping…
STARRE, Contributing Writer: This year I'm thankful for the ability and freedom to have travelled as much as I possibly could! It is a rare gift and one that I don't take for granted. I was able to see places I've always wanted to, and though my carbon footprint is high this year, I'm hoping all my years of vegetarianism offsets it a bit, and I'm going to be planting a couple more trees in my backyard (as well as having purchased carbon credits where I could).
Where did I go? My family lives in Australia, so I travelled to Sydney (I'm originally from Coogee Beach, just a few minutes from downtown, but blessed with incredible natural beauty), and checked out Melbourne, Brisbane and Townsville too, via train through backcountry Oz for some of it. I also spent time in LA, which is quickly becoming one of my fave American cities, and flew down to beautiful Asheville, Tennessee for Hatchfest, an emerging arts and music festival where I spoke on a journalism panel. Asheville is a gorgeous town, and very green! Boulder Colorado was also on my list this year, and like Asheville, is a smaller city with tons of great innovative building and conservation going on (not to mention superfantastic local food!). I went to Florence courtesy of Volkswagen, to check out their new hybrid Touareg, and got to stay in a villa that's now a hotel, and finally stopped by London to see my best friend there, as well as check out London Fashion Week for the first time (a long-time dream of mine).
I also got to meet up with my father and stepmom in Paris, where they were celebrating my stepmom's birthday, and took my first trip with my boyfriend, who made the voyage that much more special and romantic. Costa Rica was also on the list in 2010, and I'm excited to share my writing (and videos) about my time there; the country is an amazing example of what can be done very right in eco travel and environmental education. In another week, I'm headed to Aruba to check out the green cred of the Bucati resorts there and then up to Portland and Seattle to visit the Pacific Northwest; I've never been before and can't wait to hike along the coast and check out my partner in crime's hometown and surrounds (not to mention the amazing coffee and bookstores in both cities!). Last, but not least, I made it up to Vermont a few times, which is one of my favorite places in the world, aside from NYC. Speaking of which, I'm very thankful I get to work in what I consider the best city on the planet.
It was so much fun living this year of my life, and I learned a tremendous amount, and am still getting around to reporting on it all for my blog, Eco Chick and my upcoming eco travel spin-off site, Eco Chick Escapes! I am also, of course, very thankful to my friends, family, and roommates, who make my peripatetic life possible, and are always supportive of my crazy adventures.

Part high-end sport sedan and part fuel-efficient hybrid, the midsize Lexus GS450h offers the best of both worlds for eco-conscious auto enthusiasts. With the introduction of the GS450h for 2007, Lexus essentially created a new class: the luxury hybrid sports car.
The GS450h gets its power from a 3.5-liter 340-horsepower gasoline/electric hybrid V-6 engine paired with a continuously variable transmission, which sends power to the rear wheels. The vehicle's name references the fact that the engine's output is equivalent to a 4.5-liter V-8. The powertrain gives the four-door sedan the ability to reach zero to 60 mph acceleration in 5.6 seconds while maintaining an estimated highway mileage of 34 mpg.
In appearance, the Lexus GS450h closely resembles its GS-series sister car, the GS350. Both vehicles feature a sporty stance, fastback-like roofline, and short rear deck. Inside, the five-seat GS450h historically shared many of the same luxury amenities as the GS350, including leather seating, heated and ventilated seats, and a rear sunshade.
The GS450h introduced several unique technology features, including an infrared driver monitoring system with the ability to detect whether a driver's eyes are open and a heads-up display that projects key navigation information directly onto the windshield. A bamboo-trimmed interior also sets the hybrid apart from other GS models.
The Lexus GS450h is best known for its status as the first luxury hybrid sports car. Even though its high-performance hybrid V-6 provides as much horsepower as a typical V-8 powered sport sedan, it achieves significantly better fuel economy. It can reach a top speed of 138 mph. An adaptive variable suspension provides traditional sports car handling, while paddle shifters offer drivers more control over the automatic transmission.
Thanks to its unique engine construction, the GS450h enjoys a certified Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle rating.
Featuring the world's first direct-injected Atkinson-cycle engine, the 2012 Lexus GS450h manages to offer a unique blend of athletic power and high fuel economy. Improvements to the 338-horsepower hybrid engine helped take the four-door sedan's EPA-estimated mileage rating from 28 mpg highway in previous models to 34 mpg highway in 2012.
All GS450h models feature rear drive, a continuously variable transmission with two-speed reduction, snow mode, paddle shifters, and a drive mode system allowing drivers to shift between normal, sport, and eco-friendly modes.
The 2012 GS450h introduces a revised front end with a sharper appearance, new 18-inch wheels, and low and high beam LED headlamps with a distinctive three-lamp design. Notable features for the 2012 GS450h include semi-aniline leather upholstery, 18-way adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation, a powered rear sunshade, side door shades, heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate controls and audio controls, bamboo interior trim, an LED-illuminated instrument panel with analog clock, ambient interior lighting, LED headlights, and contrast stitching on the dash, door panels, center console, and shift knob.
A GS450h Luxury Package adds a bamboo-trimmed steering wheel, rain-sensing wipers, heated and ventilated front seats, and a power rear sunshade. Individual upgrade options include a 17-speaker 835-watt premium Mark Levinson audio system with surround sound, a pre-collision system, night vision system, blind spot monitoring system, parking assist sensors, heads-up display, dynamic handling system, and a navigation system with 12.3-inch LCD screen, cell phone integration, enhanced Bluetooth technology, destination assist, and real-time weather and traffic information.
The sport sedan measures 190.7 inches in length, 57.3 inches in height, and 72.4 inches in width. Its wheelbase is 112.2 inches. Front seat passengers receive 38 inches of head room, 42.5 inches of leg room, and 57.3 inches of shoulder room, while rear passengers receive 37.8 inches of head room, 36.8 inches of leg room, and 55.7 inches of shoulder room.
By redesigning the vehicle's trunk and altering the position of the hybrid battery, Lexus was able to increase cargo capacity to 13.2 cubic feet in 2012, up from 11 cubic feet the previous year.
The 2007 GS450h debuted with the same hybrid V-6 engine that powered later models. Early models had a fuel economy rating of 28 mpg highway, which would later be increased to 34 mpg. Standard features were similar to those found on the 2007 GS300 and the new 2007 GS460. Notable amenities included 18-inch alloy wheels, leather seats, a sunroof, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Lexus made a few small updates to the GS450h in 2008, revising the front end, adding new gauges, and updating the side mirrors with integrated turn signals. A new exterior paint color, Black Opal Mica, was added to the lineup.
In 2009, the vehicle's limited cargo space received a small boost, going from eight cubic feet to 11 cubic feet.
The Lexus GS450h received another mini-facelift in 2010 with clear taillight covers, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a distinctive new grille. A number of technology features were added, including Lexus's Safety Connect telematics system and optional HDD Navigation system.
For 2012, trunk space was increased to 13.2 cubic feet.

Local newspapers were important sources of national news in the 19th century. This article on the sentencing of anarchists for the "Haymarket Riot" appeared in the Turners Falls Reporter. Turners Falls was a small industrial village within Montague, Massachusetts, a town on the Connecticut River opposite Deerfield. The labor violence that caused the trial occurred during a strike and rally in Chicago for the eight hour day (May 4, 1886). During the demonstration a bomb was thrown at police and a gun battle ensued. Eight anarchists were convicted for murder in a widely publicized trial. Four men were eventually executed. The socialist holiday "May Day" originated with this event.

The name of the super-secret project was Suntan. It was to be the ultimate reconnaissance airplane, flying so high and so fast—it was to cruise above 100,000 feet at Mach 2—that detection would be unlikely and interception impossible. But it also would have been a giant winged thermos bottle, with a fuel tank full of liquid hydrogen at –400 degrees Fahrenheit and its outer skin baking at 350 degrees or more. A proposed hydrogen liquefaction plant dedicated to producing fuel for several of the airplanes would have sucked up 10 percent of the natural gas supply of Los Angeles in two years. Flying the highly unstable and explosive liquid to the airplanes' bases would have required a fleet of heavy transports. An accident with one of the transports would have made the Hindenburg disaster look like a campfire.

It was too much, even for the formidable head of Lockheed's Hogwarts-like Skunk Works. Kelly Johnson had accepted the U.S. Air Force challenge in 1956 with his customary take-no-prisoners determination; now, two years later, he had changed his mind, and he told the Air Force that he thought the program ought to be scrapped.
And so it was. If Kelly Johnson couldn't do it, the Pentagon reasoned, it couldn't be done.
Clarence Leonard Johnson was born in 1910, the seventh of nine children, in Ishpeming, on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. His family, Swedish immigrants, was poor; their lives were only a step or two above those of frontiersmen. His mother took in laundry and the young Clarence sometimes delivered the wash on his wagon or sled. Ashamed of his family's poverty, he kept to the back alleys on days when the streets were crowded. "I vowed that one day I'd return to Ishpeming not on the back streets but the best streets," he wrote in his 1985 autobiography, Kelly: More Than My Share of It All.
Johnson was an American stereotype: the poor but hard-working lad who makes his way to the top. Smart, talented, and intensely ambitious, he possessed the fleet-footed self-confidence of gifted youth. To be a character in a movie, he lacked only good looks; later in life he would be described as resembling W.C. Fields but without the sense of humor—not entirely fair, since he did have, though he seldom employed it, a dry and somewhat sarcastic wit.
Attending the University of Michigan on scholarship, Kelly Johnson—he had acquired the nickname in grammar school—studied aeronautical engineering and made spending money by developing streamlined bodies for various clients, including Studebaker, in the university's wind tunnel. In 1933, during his final postgraduate year, he and his professor, Edward Stalker, evaluated a model sent from the small California firm of Lockheed. Stalker judged the stability of the twin-engine, 10-seat airliner acceptable; Johnson disagreed. But the standards of the era were lax, and a university wind tunnel was perhaps loath to issue verdicts that would alienate clients.
After getting his master's degree, Johnson went to work at Lockheed as a tool designer. Ignoring elementary principles of office politics, he immediately informed the chief engineer, Hall Hibbard, that his Model 10 Electra was dangerously unstable. Johnson must have reeled off enough coefficients, and shown a strong enough grasp of practical aerodynamics, to make Hibbard suppress any impulse to fire the upstart on the spot. Instead, Hibbard sent the young apprentice back to the Michigan wind tunnel with the big Electra model crammed into the back seat of his car.
In a series of wind tunnel tests, Johnson removed the model's large wing-root fairings and replaced its central vertical fin with smaller ovals set at the tips of the horizontal stabilizer. A natural arrangement for a twin-engine airplane, the design had been used before; it ensured that if one engine failed, the slipstream of the other would be blowing over one rudder, helping to keep the airplane flying straight.
Johnson's modifications solved the airplane's stability problems, and he returned to Burbank a hero. Leaving tool design behind, at 23 he joined the ranks of Lockheed's five other aeronautical engineers.
Despite his brashness, Johnson had a nerdy side. In his spare time he took classes at the California Institute of Technology, and he amused himself during vacations by solving practice problems in calculus and engineering textbooks. But he was also a flight-test engineer—the person who collects data during test flights—who joked that he needed one good scare a year to keep in touch with what he called "the concern of the pilot"—namely, staying alive.

Is Generation Y Holding Back the Housing Recovery?

The Many Faces of Corruption in the Russian Federation
"No single national score can accurately reflect contrasts in the types of corruption found in a country." Michael Johnston, 2001
Corruption comes in various forms - administrative corruption being one example, state capture (a.k.a. "grand corruption") being another. Although administrative corruption is not necessarily the most damaging form for economic growth and private sector development in Russia, and while its occurrence appears to be declining in Russia, perceptions of "state capture" are worsening.

Ms. Blaine (and other not-so-well-edumakaited folks, no matter their party leanings), I voted for Romney. And I am a registered Republican. But how dare you call me an "anti-free speech thug"? If anything, the U.S. Constitution is something I took an oath many years ago to defend. There was no expiration date on that oath. None. Nada. And it ain't gonna happen.
I don't care if individuals or businesses express their opinions about matters. God gave our forefathers the opportunity to make a great nation, and now we have America. If you want to talk about stuff that you support, go for it! And I will as well. If you don't like something and you speak about it, do it! I do so as well (and usually my opinions are censored by the pinko rags I write them to).
I am not narrow-minded, at least I do not see that. Life in America is not a highway. Instead, it's a huge field for people to come here (legally) and build their dreams and desires (you just gotta watch out for oncoming traffic).
The only hate I have is for communists and cops (no difference, just one wears a uniform). And if you want a sagebrush rebellion, baby, so long as I get rubbed sage on my fried spotted owl, I don't care!
As for any businesses that feel their freedom of speech is attacked, I'm itching for a trip to Moab sometime soon, so you let me know who it is being boycotted. I might boycott them or I might patronize them. Who knows what I'll do. But I assure you Ms. Blaine, as radical as I may be I still stand in support of your freedom of speech, no matter how weird and whacked out it may be.

John Cale | DS065 | Released: 30/09/12
Face To The Sky is the second track to be aired from the forthcoming album Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood. Its craftsmanship and artfulness belies the unparalleled career experience of John Cale, this is rock music at its most sublime. Of its conception, Cale has said,
"I was really into some swirling strings and rhythms for this, but I didn't want it to end up being too complete. I started this with a keyboard riff that seemed impossible to play and then from there I began layering with the idea of really breaking up the comfort level with things that poke out of the track to never quite let you settle in.'
The mark was truly hit with this tightly woven fabric melodies noises so wonderfully elusive unpacking its contents will occupy the ear until the album release and beyond.
The single is backed with the sparse and tender 'Living With You (Organic Mix)' which is a contender for an A side of its own.

WWF Urges Senate Subcommittee to Prioritize Natural Capital in Asia
WWF President and CEO Carter Roberts testified before a U.S. Senate subcommittee
- Date: July 25, 2013
Carter Roberts, President and CEO of WWF-US, testified before the Senate Subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs, encouraging the United States government to prioritize the environment in its rebalance to Asia. Roberts testified, "the rebalance to Asia comes at a time of growing recognition in that region of how the long-term prosperity of most Asian and Pacific countries is tied to wise management of their 'natural capital'."
Recently, rapid economic growth in East Asia and the Pacific has led to increased degradation of natural resources, given insufficient attention to "green growth" and environmental sustainability. Among the environmental threats of concern to WWF are:
- Overfishing in marine areas surrounding the Coral Triangle
- Planned expansion of large-scale hydropower schemes on the Mekong that threatens freshwater fisheries and water supplies of Lao PDR, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam
- Severe haze pollution in Southeast Asia and increased greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of tropical forests in Indonesia
Roberts told the Senate Subcommittee that how the United States and other countries react and respond to these challenges will shape the food, water, economic, and environmental security of countries in East Asia and the Pacific for decades to come.
Reasons for optimism
Roberts also highlighted reasons for optimism. In November, WWF spoke with President Thein Sein of Myanmar and his senior staff about the role of sound resource management in Myanmar's sustainable development. President Thein Sein demonstrated an interest in focusing on the wise management of rivers, forests, coasts and wildlife in order to create a sustainable economy, and one that ensures the country's long-term food and water security.
Leaders of the East Asia and Pacific region are looking to make smart choices to break free of unsustainable patterns of resource use and development. WWF is working with communities, companies and governments throughout the region to support those smart decisions and help this part of the world accommodate rapid development while sustaining its unique biodiversity and rich natural resources.
As Roberts told the Senate Subcommittee, we must help to lock in a new development model that will lead to continued expansion of prosperity in East Asia and the Pacific based in large measure on protecting and enhancing the value of the region's natural capital. The United States has a critically important role to play in bringing about that transition to greener economic development.

Director: Mike Leigh. With Timothy Spall, Lesley Manville, Alison Garland, James Corden. (127 min.)
Sterritt *** See review, page 15.
Directors: Kirby Dick, Amy Ziering Kofman. With Jacques Derrida, Marguerite Derrida. (85 min.)
Sterritt *** Who would have guessed a documentary about Derrida, the great French philosopher of deconstruction and "différence," would be so entertaining? He emerges as a nice guy as well as a brilliant mind, and he's certainly a master at evading questions he doesn't like. Still, the things he says on camera aren't nearly as profound as the passages quoted from his books.
Director: Julie Taymor. With Salma Hayek, Alfred Molina, Geoffrey Rush, Ashley Judd. (120 min.)
Sterritt * See review, page 14.
Director: Henri-Georges Clouzot. With Louis Jouvet, Suzy Delair, Bernard Blier, Simone Renant. (102 min.)
Sterritt *** A sleazy show-biz entrepreneur is murdered, and a crusty police inspector hunts for the killer, knowing that too many people had excellent reasons for despising him. This pungently filmed 1947 melodrama doesn't rank with Clouzot classics like "Diabolique" and "The Wages of Fear," but it's full of hard-boiled charm and has a musical score that adds extra dimensions to its impact.
Director: Dylan Kidd. With Campbell Scott, Isabella Rossellini, Jesse Eisenberg, Jennifer Beals. (105 min.)
Sterritt **** See review, page 14.
Director: Jonathan Demme. With Thandie Newton, Mark Wahlberg, Tim Robbins, Lisa Gay Hamilton. (104 min.)
Sterritt *** See review, page 14.
Director: Stephen Gaghan. With Katie Holmes, Benjamin Bratt, Charlie Hunnam. (99 min.)
Staff ** A promising college senior (Holmes), under pressure to win a plum job after graduation, is being harassed by a former boyfriend, who has been missing and presumed dead for two years. This first directing effort by screenwriter Gaghan ("Traffic") generates a few suspenseful moments, but its leaps between past, present, and future are more confusing than artful. The student's romance with a much older cop (Bratt) is unconvincing, and the muddled surprise ending lacks much punch. By Gregory M. Lamb
Sex/Nudity: 6 scenes of implied sex and innuendo. Violence: 3 instances, including drowning. Profanity: 7 harsh expressions. Drugs: 1 scene with drugs; 4 with alcohol, 2 with smoking.
Director: Paul Schrader. With Greg Kinnear, Willem Dafoe, Rita Wilson, Ron Leibman. (107 min.)
Sterritt *** This movie documents the rise and fall of Bob Crane, popular star of the '60s TV sitcom "Hogan's Heroes," who ruined his life and career when he befriended a technology wonk and participated in living-room orgies recorded by his sleazy companion with then-innovative video equipment. Kinnear gives a pitch-perfect performance as the self-destructive actor, and Schrader offers one of his most harrowing explorations of the temptations and dangers of sensuality, a theme that has fascinated him throughout his career.
Director: Paul Greengrass. With James Nesbitt, Tim Pigott-Smith, Nicholas Farrell. (107 min.)
Staff *** Demanding civil rights for Northern Irish Catholics interned without trial by the British government on Jan. 30 1972, Protestant member of Parliament Ivan Cooper (Nesbitt) led a peaceful march of his Catholic constituents through Derry's Bogside district. British paratroopers, enforcing a ban on demonstrations, opened fire on the marchers, claiming they were armed. They killed 13 and wounded 14. Investigators found no weapons. In pseudodocumentary style, the film believably gives the marchers' side of the case, arguing that Bloody Sunday was an immense miscarriage of justice. By M.K. Terrell
Sex/Nudity: 1 instance innuendo. Violence: 11 scenes, including bloody shootings. Profanity: 18 harsh expressions. Drugs: 6 scenes smoking.
Director: Michael Moore. With Moore, Charlton Heston, Marilyn Manson. (120 min.)
Sterritt *** Contemporary film's most freewheeling documentarymaker turns his sights on the longtime American love affair with guns, including a living-room confrontation with National Rifle Association leader Heston and a discussion with goth-rocker Manson that's amazingly articulate. Moore turns the camera on himself too often for comfort, but he provides an eye-opening array of revelations.
Staff ***1/2Biting, intelligent, relevant, polemic.
Sex/Nudity: None. Violence: 38 scenes, nearly all are brief news clips of violence. Profanity: 8 harsh expressions. Drugs: 1 scene smoking.
Director: Rick Famuyiwa. With Taye Diggs, Sanaa Lathan, Mos Def, Nicole Ari Parker, Queen Latifah.
Staff ** She's an editor at a music magazine. He's a record-company executive. Dre and Sidney have been friends since childhood. They share a love of hip-hop and know every detail about each other's lives, but they have never been romantically involved. Dre ends up getting married and Sidney gets engaged, but did they make a mistake? It gets tiresome when Sidney uses hip-hop as an endless metaphor for her love for Dre. The movie has some funny moments, but it ultimately never crystallizes. By Lisa Parney Connors
Staff *** Mild, fresh, good characters.
Sex/Nudity: 6 instances, including implied sex and innuendo. Violence: 1 boxing scene. Profanity: 13 expressions. Drugs: 11 scenes drinking, smoking.
Director: Ronny Yu. With Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Carlyle, Emily Mortimer, Rhys Ifans. (92 min.)
Staff ** Elmo McElroy has concocted the next great drug: cheaper, safer, and stronger than anything on the street. He flees his boss and goes to England to sell the formula. The American-hating Felix, meanwhile, is stuck keeping an eye on him, a job that becomes difficult when people try to kill him left and right. Add too many fight scenes, too many car chases, an assassin ex-girlfriend, and some skinheads, and you get an entertaining but muddled rehash of Trainspotting. Flashy, profane, and pointless. By Alex Kaloostian
Director: Mike Nawrocki, Phil Vischer. With (voices): Vischer, Nawrocki, Tim Hodge, Lisa Vischer. (83 min.)
Staff *** Squabbling families run their van off a road and wind up in a seafood cafe, where strangers teach them about compassion and mercy through a delightfully updated telling of the Jonah story. Aimed at children, but filled with gags for adults, this is the first theatrical film based on the popular VeggieTales video series. Especially engaging are the angelic choir's Gospel number inside the whale, and "The Credits Song," about music that has nothing to do with the movie you just saw. Oh, and almost all the characters are vegetables. By M.K. Terrell
Sex/Nudity: None. Violence: 5 scenes cartoonish violence. Profanity: None. Drugs: None.
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson. With Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, Philip Seymour Hoffman. (95 min.)
Sterritt *** A small-time businessman copes with a nagging family, eludes a con artist, woos a woman who's as kooky as he is, and wonders how he can attain a happy life when he knows he's nerdy and whiny to his bones. Anderson's filmmaking is quirky and original, but his biggest creative coup is drawing on submerged aspects of Sandler's usual screen persona a wounded insecurity, a sense of repression that's almost violent in its emotional effects to give the comedy an edgy undertone that's one of a kind.
Staff *** Quirky, light, original, spicy.
Sex/Nudity: 2, including phone sex. Violence: 9 scenes, including car crash. Profanity: 28 strong expressions. Drugs: 3 drinking scenes.
Director: Brett Ratner. With Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson. (125 min.)
Sterritt *** Hopkins makes his third appearance as Hannibal Lecter, psychiatrist and cannibal, joined by Norton and Keitel as FBI agents tracking down a new serial killer (Fiennes) with Lecter's grudging help. The story is a rehash of "The Silence of the Lambs" featuring Norton in the Jodie Foster role, with solid acting and hardly a special effect in sight. The violence level is a lot lower than in "Hannibal," but don't expect a gentle ride.
Staff **1/2Good thriller, better than "Hannibal," disturbing.
Sex/Nudity: 4 scenes with nudity, including full male nudity. 1 scene implied sex. Violence: 14 scenes, including stabbings, shootings. Profanity: 26 expressions. Drugs: 4 scenes with drinking; 2 scenes smoking.
Director: Gore Verbinski. With Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson, Brian Cox, David Dorfman. (109 min.)
Staff ***1/2 Rachel, a no-compromise reporter for a Seattle paper, is asked to investigate the deaths of four teens, all seven days after watching a haunted video tape. Urban legend, or deadly curse? Rachel must watch and find out. But soon, her own family is in danger. Will she solve the mystery in time, or will haunting visions from the tape overcome her? This is one of the most intelligent and genuinely scary ghost stories to come around in a long time. By Alex Kaloostian
Sex/Nudity: 1 instance innuendo. Violence: 12 instances, some quite violent, including killings. Profanity: 9 harsh expressions. Drugs: At least 3 scenes with drinking, smoking.
Director: Corey Yuen. With Jason Statham, Qi Shu, Matt Schulze, François Berléand. (92 min.)
Staff * For those who get their kicks from watching karate kicks, meet Jason Statham, Britain's bald-headed answer to Vin Diesel. In this film, Statham's black BMW is a car-for-hire in Southern France be it for carrying contraband or providing robbery getaway. One day, he discovers that the "package" he is to deliver is a Chinese woman who knows too much about a global slavery ring. And that's the whole plot. The two first flee from the bad guys, then return to beat them up preferably 15 thugs at a time. The choreography and editing are sensational, but the nonstop action soon numbs. The story is little more than a karate contest. By Stephen Humphries
Sex/Nudity: 1 instance implied sex. Violence: 14 scenes, including shootings and explosions. Profanity: 11 expressions. Drugs: 5 scenes.
Director: Jay Russell. With Alexis Bledel, William Hurt, Sissy Spacek, Ben Kingsley, Amy Irving. (90 min.)
Sterritt *** A teen girl is abducted by a backwoods family that fears she's discovered a closely guarded treasure the secret of human immortality, available to anyone who drinks from a spring that flows nearby. Meanwhile, she's sought by her worried parents and an enigmatic stranger. The story is engrossing after a slow start. Kingsley is perfect as the menacing outsider.
Staff **1/2 Good cast, dark, predictable.
Sex/Nudity: None. Violence: 10 scenes, including kidnapping. Profanity: None. Drugs: 1 bar scene.
Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo. With William H. Macy, George Clooney, Jennifer Esposito. (96 min.)
Sterritt *** Small-time crooks decide to pull off a big-time heist in their Cleveland neighborhood, with predictably chaotic results. Inspired by Mario Monicelli's 1958 comedy "Big Deal on Madonna Street," which it mimics in many details, the farce is energetically written, breezily acted, and never quite as dumb as the lunkheads it's about.
Director: Peter Kosminsky. With Alison Lohman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Renée Zellweger. (110 min.)
Sterritt ** A 15-year-old shuttles through a series of foster homes after her strong-willed mother is imprisoned for killing her abusive boyfriend. She stays under her mom's sway during their jailhouse visits but eventually realizes she has to chart her own course in life. The acting is heartfelt and Kosminsky directs with quiet assurance. The story is too schematic, though, watching the heroine take on the coloration of each new environment as if she had almost no mind at all, not the unformed but promising mind of a smart, creative youngster.
Staff *** Probing, great cast, crisp, moving.
Sex/Nudity: 8 instances, including implied sex. Violence: 11 scenes, including shootings. Profanity: 4 expressions. Drugs: 13 scenes smoking and drinking.
Director: Majid Majidi. With Hossein Abedini, Mohammad Reza Naji, Zahra Bahrami. (105 min.)
Sterritt **** The setting is an Iranian construction site. The unlikely hero is an Iranian man who falls in love with an Afghan woman after a string of misadventures with an illegal immigrant who works alongside him. Majidi became one of Iran's most internationally famed filmmakers with "Children of Heaven" and "The Color of Paradise," but he far surpasses those melodramas with this expressively filmed story of rivalry, romance, and cultural conflict. In Farsi with English subtitles.

Are Paid Travel Membership Clubs Worth It?
Turns out, sometimes spending money can actually save you money—if you know where to look.
ROAD TRAVEL: American Automobile Association
The Deal Starting at $38, an annual AAA membership gets you free roadside towing and lock-out services, discounts of 5 to 15 percent at thousands of hotels, and offers like $30 off weekly rentals at Hertz (which, weirdly, tops Hertz's own #1 Club Gold membership perks).
Worth It? What you're paying for is really the services, not the deals: We've found that many hotel owners are happy to float discounts comparable to AAA's even if you aren't a member. aaa.com.
AIRLINE: Spirit Airlines $9 Fare Club
The Deal For $40 a year, members have access to exclusive fares, sometimes for as low as a penny. A few recent samples: a one-way flight from Chicago to Myrtle Beach, S.C., for $16, or a Fort Lauderdale to Freeport, Bahamas, flight for a measly $9.
Worth It? Only if you're going to take more than one flight a year—which is potentially a challenge. Deals are usually last-minute and off-peak, and Spirit serves only 40 cities (biased to the East Coast, the Caribbean, and Central and South America). spiritair.com.
HOTEL: Tablet Plus
The Deal Each week, Tablet Hotels, a booking engine for boutique and luxury hotels, offers its Tablet Plus members discounts of up to 70 percent at certain properties (example: $174 vs. $249 at New York's Bryant Park Hotel). Extra bonuses: spa vouchers, upgrades, complimentary airport transfers, and late checkout.
Worth It? Sounds great, but the annual fee of $195 is a real stumbling block. It's even more insurmountable when you find out that Plus members' "exclusive" deals are exclusive for only 24 hours. tablethotels.com.

In July 2013, the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center announced that it is the 68th medical center in the country to receive a prestigious National Cancer Institute designation, and is the only NCI-designated cancer center in the state of Kentucky.
Under the guidance of Cancer Center director Dr. Mark Evers, who arrived at UK in spring 2009, Markey faculty and staff worked tirelessly to make the NCI designation a reality. Earning the designation was a lengthy process that required strong efforts in research, recruiting and improving many of the programs at Markey.
As a result of the designation, patients will have access to new drugs, treatment options and clinical trials offered only at NCI centers. The UK Markey Cancer Center will be able to apply for federal research grants available only to NCI-designated cancer centers, with the potential to bring millions in additional funding to the area.
Additionally, the NCI designation allows Markey researchers to communicate and collaborate on new advances in cancer care with other NCI-designated cancer centers across the country. Locally, Markey will be able to increase community engagement, including volunteers, patient advisory groups, and education and intervention programs.
UK also joins an elite group of medical centers across the country who have earned the "trifecta" of national federal funding. UK is one of only 22 medical centers in the United States that have earned an NCI designation, have a federally funded Alzheimer's disease center (UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging), and have earned the been awarded a Clinical and Translational Science Awards grants.
Previously, Kentucky was one of 16 states that did not have an NCI-designated cancer center, and Kentucky patients had to travel hours out of state to access the benefits of an NCI center. As the major referral center for Central and Eastern Kentucky, Markey's NCI designation strengthens UK HealthCare's overall mission of ensuring no Kentuckian will have to leave the state lines to get access totop-of-the-line health care.

HILLSVILLE — About 23 people caught in the massive Easter Sunday wreck on Interstate 77 used the Grover King VFW Post 1115 as a way station on their journey to get their lives back on track.
Many travelers on the interstate near Fancy Gap had their Easter plans disrupted after the dense fog set in.
While these adults and children, along with three dogs, were caught up in the crashes, they were also bystanders for much of the day.

This is an activity about shadows and how the Sun's location affects the direction of a shadow. Learners will first identify what they already know about shadows and will be asked to share any questions they may have. Then students will be taken... (View More) outside to observe and trace a classmates shadow. From this tracing, students will complete a worksheet by drawing their partner, his or her shadow, and the location of the Sun. Two to three hours later, this observation and tracing process will be repeated, allowing students to witness the movement of shadows as a result of the Earth's rotation. This activity requires a sunny day with plenty of outdoor space to trace the shadows of all students. This is Activity 4 of a larger resource entitled Eye on the Sky. (View Less)
