yoga / pilates balls
Yoga Balls can be incorporated into many different exercise programs at home or at the gym. All are available in bright colors but come in different shapes, sizes and weights that allow the user to accomplish different fitness goals.
Yoga Balls and Pilates Balls - Yoga/Pilates balls by Aeromat are a small weighted exercise ball that feature an attachable strap for securing to the hands and feet for additional functionality when performing Pilates or Yoga exercises. The strap is very helpful in assisting the grip especially for those that are rehabilitating the upper body. For a more ergonomic exercise ball that is better shaped to the palm of your hand, consider an Ergonomic Weighted Exercise Ball by EcoWise. You get the same attachable hand and foot strap as the round exercise ball with even better gripping ability. And, the EcoWise name assures you that your product will not contain Latex, PVC, Phthalates or Chloride.
Foam Posture Balls - A posture ball is a small closed cell foam ball that is firm, yet not hard, and is used to perform myofascial release to relieve muscle tension in hard to reach areas such as the back and hamstrings. The closed cell foam material will not absorb moisture and will retain its shape after each exercise.
Need help deciding which Exercise Ball is best for your fitness goal or facility? Let an Ironcompany.com fitness equipment expert assist you today at 1-888-758-7527

Jews worry for a living. Their dark history and, in the case of American Jews, their legitimate concerns about the security of the state of Israel impel them to do so.
But sometimes those concerns are overblown and reflect a kind of collective cosmic oy vey that gets in the way of sound and rational judgment.
Such is the case in the matter of Chuck Hagel's nomination to be President Obama's next secretary of Defense.
Some of the comments attributed to Hagel about lobbies, Israel and the like come from an interview he gave me for my last book about American Middle East policy, particularly his use of the term "Jewish lobby."
Hagel has said many things about Iran sanctions, Hamas, Syria and Hezbollah, which his opponents have seized upon. Some are out of sync with current U.S. policy. These and other issues are matters that will and should be explored during confirmation hearings.

Unblocking the sink
Here's a useful recipe: a way to unblock the sink without buying expensive products, using stuff you've probably already got in your kitchen.
The sinks in my kitchen usually block in the holidays, when there's lots of extra cooking going on here (generally when we've got 20 for lunch). It's no good blaming the young for putting fats down the drain, it's just as likely to be the coffee grounds I send down once or twice a day (I know, I know, they should go on the compost), or, more likely, the unbeatable combination of the two. Whatever, this is a perennial problem.
This old-fashioned solution is cheap, fun, and, amazingly, it works - although if your outlet is really blocked (and one of mine was), you may have to do it more than once.
To unblock a sink
Bicarbonate of soda (a huge box costs 99p in Tesco)
Vinegar (I used some past-its-use-by that was lurking in a cupboard)
Put three or four tablespoons of bicarb into the sink. Add equal quantities of cheap vinegar and watch them foam. After ten minutes, pour a kettle full of very hot water down the drain. Repeat if necessary.
Worked a treat yesterday.

knitting, homeschool, knitting...
Knitting, reading, and playing along with Ginny and her Yarn Along...
Thinking that maybe this winter I will have time to knit for hours of the day, that sounds very nice. But for now it's mostly just little bits at a time. Sometimes I will try to do nothing but knit and sew for days, (besides the baking, cooking, kitchen stuff), but that can only last for so long, especially during the summer, with garden chores sometimes taking hours of the day.
And then there is all the homeschool planning, which is of course a very happy thing. I always seem to begin thinking about the year ahead in mid-spring, as we finish one year and look ahead towards the next. I then become very consumed with the task of researching and planning out the coming year. Lately I am often thinking about the amazingness of the fact that I now have a 5th grader and a 1st grader, and this will be our first year of all three of us having school days together. Oh my.
(It does make me kind of sad that I didn't write much about our fourth grade year. I would really like to do some homeschool posts soon and keep up with it better throughout the year. After all, it is one of my favorite topics, and I could go on and on...)
So, what I'm reading... lots of homeschool stuff, everything 5th grade Waldorf, old lesson plans from first grade with Chloe, need to decide Chessa's year of main lessons...
I am also reading Rhythms of Learning, selected lectures by Rudolph Steiner. I had been wishing to read this book for so many years and was happy to see it on the shelf at Sara's one day recently. She is very wonderful for having homeschool books to share, I'm lucky like that.
Reading Steiner on educating our children makes me totally inspired to do my best as we continue this Waldorf homeschool journey.
My children totally inspire me to do that too.
Oh yeah, I also have a few random piles of books around the house pictures...
The girls each have their own copy of Tasha Tudor's A Time to Keep, a gift from my sister one year. We consider our books to belong to all of us a family, but with this special book it seemed like it would be nice for them to each have a copy to have in their own homes someday.
Books move around often in our home. These vintage books on top are fairly delicate so I brought them upstairs recently, they sit on the shelf in the hallway now.
We have inadvertently created this little nook for Jason, next to the chair where he sits and reads, we have been keeping his library books there, along with a few others. Also the globe he had when he was little kid.
Now back to knitting, the best for last. Because now she is seven, and in 1st grade, and as she has many times said, it is time for her to learn how to "needle knit".
So I sat next to her on the couch, between the two of them actually, and I taught her how to cast on, and with every stitch added she exclaimed so happily that there was one more. And then she knit her first rows.
And then we all sat there together with our knitting projects.. cardigan, scarf for dad knit by Chloe, and doll blanket knit by Chessa. Such knitting happiness!

How wonderful! I can't wait until my son is ready to knit with needles :-) Happy homeschool planning!!

Dear Renee...So much goodness in here, friend! First, your cardi looks so great. It's really coming along. I am busy with hats as the mountains around here bring cooler weather sooner than we think. Then I'll be moving onto my biggest boy's cardi. It is so heartwarming to think of you three girls sitting together, happily knitting. This is such a dream come true! I have so much to talk to you about with regards to homeschooling, I think I'll have to manage an email:) But, that Steiner book sounds wonderful! Did you ever get the Guardian Angels from your mama? Anyhow, I am pretty excited about homeschooling this coming year and relish my evenings spent selecting fairy tales, planning crafts, etc. Much love to you, enjoy these August days!

It always makes me happy to see young knitters starting on their path!
Also, I have the identical edition of Anderson's Fairy Tales!
I love antique books and my soon-to-be second grade daughter is old enough now that I am sharing them with her one or two at a time.

Super Sports Weekend
The Pine Belt Arena should be the scene of an exciting Saturday of high school wrestling as the venue hosts the Shore Conference Tournament Semifinals and Finals for the first time ever.
As expected the top four seeds all advanced after winning a pair of matches on their home mats last night so tomorrow afternoon Toms River South will face Howell and Brick Memorial will take on Jackson Memorial at 3pm in the semis. The winners will then meet for the championship at 5:30.
Congratulations to South coach Ron Laycock on career victory #200 which came in a round of 16 win over Barnegat last night.
Judy Geiger was the heart and soul of the Beachwood Soccer Club for more than 30 years as a coach, executive board member and director of the micro program for the youngest players. She impacted the lives of thousands of children in a positive manner and helped a countless number of coaches learn everything from organizing practices to ordering equipment. I know because I was one of them.
Judy passed away just before Christmas and tomorrow family and friends will gather at St. Paul Lutheran Church for a memorial service to honor the life of a woman who gave much more of herself then she ever received.
Sunday of course is Super Bowl Sunday and here are some facts:
- More than 1.2 billion chicken wings are expected to be consumed which is over 100 million pounds of wings.
- The food of choice for home parties is actually vegetables. Also, 32% of those attending a party will snack on some form of dip.
- 11 million pounds of potato chips will be eaten and 8 million pounds of avocado will be used to make guacamole for some of those chips. We'll wash it down with 52 million cases of beer that will be sold.
- Domino's expects to deliver 11 million pieces of pizza on Sunday.
- 20% of those surveyed said they would miss the wedding of a family member or close friend to attend a Super Bowl in person. 19% would miss the funeral of someone in their family….I guess the feeling is they would not know.
- Sales of Tums and other antacids increase by 20% the day after the game which we know is the #1 day of the year for people taking off from work.
- The Ravens will win because Baltimore has a lower unemployment rate than San Francisco. In 17 of the last 20 Super Bowls' that stat has held up so I like Baltimore to win 24-22.

It took maybe a little longer than he would have liked, but European-based trainer John Gosden got his second victory in the Grade I Hollywood Derby on Sunday at Betfair Hollywood Park on the final day of the Turf Festival.
The Gosden-trained Seek Again, a son of Speightstown, found room along the inside on the turn for home under Corey Nakatani and outfinished 3-1 favored Admiral Kitten for a 1 1/2-length victory in the 1 1/4-mile grass race for 3-year-olds.
Seek Again, who went postward at a generous 5-1, gave Nakatani, the Turf Festival's all-time leading jockey, his 15th victory in the annual three-day event. It was Nakatani's third victory in the Derby and first since Explosive Red won the race in 1993.
"We thought if we ran big we'd be very happy," said Gosden assistant Les Reynolds. "We got in Thursday morning and didn't clear quarantine until Saturday morning, so it's not been ideal for preparation. We just jogged around once Saturday morning because we didn't want him tying up. I thought maybe we needed a couple more days, but we were always happy with him."
Reynolds said Gosden, who last won the Derby before it was part of the Turf Festival in 1983 with Eclipse Award winner Royal Heroine, probably had the race in the back of his mind for a while.
"You know what Gosden is like. He has a plan for them all," Reynolds said. "I would think the owner (Juddmonte Farms), Teddy Beckett the manager and the boss got together and they had it on their minds a long time ago."
Seek Again, eighth after the first three-quarters, moved up to second entering the stretch, took the lead past the eighth pole and was never threatened while running the distance in 2:00.60 as the co-fourth choice in the wagering.
It was another three-quarters of a length back to third-place finisher Amen Kitten. Rookie Sensation, who came in off a victory in the Grade II Twilight Derby at Santa Anita, finished fifth as the 3-1 second choice.
Seek Again, who'll be shipped to Bill Mott's barn today for his 2014 campaign, scored the first graded-stakes victory of his career and won for the fourth time in eight starts, including four of six on the turf.
"I was extremely confident," Nakatani said. "Any time you see the Juddmonte colors and a horse shipping from England, you know they're going to have a big turn of foot and it's just a matter if they can handle the
tighter turns. He seemed to handle it."
The second Grade I race of the day, the $250,000 Matriarch for fillies and mares at one mile on the lawn, went to the Mike Mitchell-trained Egg Drop, who got a nostril on the wire ahead of hard-luck loser Discreet Marq. Last year's winner, Better Lucky, finished third.
Egg Drop took the nine-horse field gate to wire until the top of the stretch, relinquished the lead to Discreet Marq by a half-length, but re-rallied for the victory in 1:34.03 under Martin Garcia.
Sent postward at 10-1, the 4-year-old daughter of Alphabet Soup scored the first Grade I victory of her 12-race career and raised her lifetime earnings to $494,020 by winning for the fourth time in five tries on the turf. It was Mitchell's first Turf Festival victory.
"These are good fillies, Grade I, and they're never going to give you an easy one," Mitchell said. "She got headed and came on again — just did it on guts. Putting her on the lawn was the key. She kind of scooted over it really nice."
Said Garcia: "The race set up as we planned. I let her break cleanly and she was running very comfortably. When I asked her to go, she responded. (Discreet Marq) went by me very easily at the top of the stretch, but my filly never gave up and came back."

The Adorable Swain Sisters, Roland, Manitoba, 1908
These adorable sisters are identified as Marjorie D. H. Swain, 2 years 3 months, and Ruth M . J. Swain 7 months, August 9th 1908. This real picture postcard was mailed to Mrs. Matt. Emerson, Port Perry, Ontario. The message reads:
Aug 20 1908,
Dear Martha
This is the latest of the children and I think it is your turn to get one. We enjoyed a visit from Waldo over Sunday, he is looking well. Hope the rest of you are the same. Love from Dora.
The two girls are probably the daughters of Ontario-born William E. Swain and his second wife Dora Ellen Swain. William's fourteen-year-old son, Newton E. William Swain, appears with Margy D. H. Swain and her parents in the 1906 Canada Census1. Dora was only 26 years old, so it is highly unlikely that she is Newton's mother. At the time the family lived in Roland, Manitoba.
Five years later, the Swains can be found in St. Paul's Township in Manitoba where four-year-old Ruth Swain makes her first appearance in the census. Newton is not living at home any longer2.
The local history book with the very long title, Trails of the Pioneers. Records, Accounts, Historical Studies, Data, Reports, Letters of the Section of Manitoba, Canada Lying Southwest of Winnipeg in the Red River Valley and Centered on the Town of Roland, Manitoba by George Henry Hambley, has a little bit of information about the Swain family. First, on page 289, there is a brief listing of events for 1909 which simply says, "March 27, Newton Swain died, spinal meningitis from arrow in eye." This likely explains why Newton does not appear with his family in the 1911 Census. Then, on page 89 we learn that Mr. W. E. Swain arrived in Roland in 1899. He seems to have been a farmer, harness-maker, carpenter and real estate/insurance salesman. According to the author, Mr. Swain was born "on the shores of Lake Scugog in Ontario." There is a also a picture of W.E. Swain in the church choir on page 129.
I haven't been able to trace the girls after 1911, except for the following gravestone information I found for a Marjorie D. H. (Swain) Thorarinson, who died 23 February 1937 and is buried in Elfros Cemetery, Saskatchewan. Her birth date is identical to our Marjorie. I suspect she is our Marjorie, though work would have to be done to confirm this.

The safety of the food supply has become an increasingly visible global public health issue. Outbreaks of foodborne illness are seen as a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. The cause of many outbreaks remains unresolved, and issues such as increased international trade, changes in eating habits, and increased travel abroad complicate investigations.
Persistent outbreaks that may directly affect public health, industry, and trade require the immediate attention of the nation's food safety team.
The Agricultural Research Service's national program on Food Safety provides, through research, the means to ensure that food and feed meet foreign and domestic regulatory requirements and are safe for consumers. The program's research, described in its 2011-2015 Strategic Action Plan (available as a pdf at tinyurl.com/FoodSafetyPlan) seeks ways to assess, control, or eliminate potentially harmful food contaminants, including both introduced and naturally occurring pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites, as well as toxins and non-biological-based chemical contaminants, mycotoxins, and plant toxins.
Food safety research has changed during the past decade, moving past simple surveillance procedures to asking complex questions relative to public health. The food chain is a single entity, where each stage of production, processing, and distribution is part of a larger system. Consequently, the program is creative, considering alternate perspectives, exploiting new opportunities and technologies, and crossing conventional boundaries.
Safe food is not just a local issue; it's a global one. Therefore, ARS's efforts involve both national and international collaborations through formal and informal partnerships. Accomplishments and outcomes from research efforts benefit agencies both here (like the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) and abroad (the United Kingdom's Food Standards Agency, the European Food Safety Authority, and the World Health Organization), as well as commodity organizations, industry, and consumers.
During the past few years, there have been many accomplishments from the ARS Food Safety national program. A new method was developed to detect Shiga-toxin-producing non-O157:H7 enterohemorrhagic E. coli, which causes an illness in humans similar to that caused by E. coli O157:H7. And dioxin surveys have substantiated the safety of the U.S. meat and poultry supply here and abroad.
Other new technologies include a process imaging system for the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service to detect small cracks, blood spots, and structural deformities in eggshells and a process for detecting ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxins, and botulinum neurotoxins in foods. These new technologies are superior to any others that were commercially available.
Another new technology, called "QuEChERS," was developed to monitor chemical residues in foods. The method was successfully validated for implementation in regulatory monitoring labs in the United States, the European Union, and other countries and is considered the gold standard for residue detection.
Other research endeavors include determining a baseline for the environmental prevalence of E. coli O157 and non-O157 E. coli in the Salinas Valley, providing the first epidemiological data in the area known as the "Salad Bowl of America." This was in collaboration with the University of California-Davis and the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's Wildlife Services-California.
Our researchers are also conducting studies to better understand the long-term effects of antibiotic use and find alternatives to control foodborne pathogens. The ARS Food Safety national program involves extensive national and international collaborations and scientific exchanges with many sources. Our scientists work with the Center for Food Safety Engineering at Purdue University to develop new technology platforms for improving microbial and chemical hazard detection. We contribute to Combase, the international database resource on the behavior of pathogens in foods. We work with various international partners in the European Commission on integrated projects such as MycoRed, which aims to find strategies to reduce mycotoxins in feed and food. Work is also under way with the Shanghai JiaoTong University in China; the Academy of Finland; Teagasc and University College in Dublin, Ireland; the Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague, Czech Republic; the National Veterinary Institute in Oslo, Norway; the University of Tasmania in Tasmania, Australia; the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Nigeria, Africa; and the Institute of Food Research and the Food Standards Agency in the United Kingdom.
No single program can solve the food safety challenges and issues that confront us now or in the future. Multidisciplinary collaborations are necessary to integrate resources and develop strategies for solving specific problems. In this way, the research program as a whole is expected to substantially enhance the global safety of the food supply.

To install an x86_64 system, follow the MacBook EFI installation instructions. It is recommended to read the UEFI, GPT and UEFI Bootloaders pages before trying any of this on your machine. Also of note, GIST.
See notes on video support before attempting installation!
The following assumes that you have somehow managed to install archlinux to a single partition on your drive, and that you still have your osx installation on a different partition.
Dual Boot
If you want to dualboot osx and linux, the easiest way to do so is to use rEFInd. rEFInd is a updated and maintained fork of rEFIt and should be used in its place.
I've found it easiest to install rEFInd from osx. Depending on your setup, you'll either install it to your osx partition, or to the ESP partition (install.sh --esp). See here for instructions. Installing to the ESP partition can cause some startup delay, which can be overcome by simply renaming rEFInd's installation folder to "BOOT" and the executable to "bootx64.efi"[1]
Assuming that rEFInd was installed to the ESP, I've found it convenient to later mount the ESP as my "/boot" directory. That way, by setting
in your refind.conf, rEFInd will automatically pickup the kernel. All you need to add is a "refind_linux.conf" file to the root of the ESP, containing your boot args. I use:
"Boot with defaults" "root=/dev/sda3 rootfstype=xfs ro add_efi_memmap"
Note that my root partion is sda3 and that I use the xfs filesystem on it, yours may differ! So my ESP partition looks like this when mounted under "/boot":
EFI/ APPLE/ BOOT/ bootx64.efi drivers/ icons/ keys/ refind.conf initramfs-linux-fallback.img initramfs-linux.img refind_linux.conf syslinux/ *** My bootloader of choice, see below *** vmlinuz-linux
Note that the EFI/BOOT directory is normally named EFI/REFIND and that the bootx64.efi is normally named refind_x64.efi.
You should now be able to boot your mac in efi-mode via the kernel's efistub feature. rEFInd should present you with an option to do so. See here for more general information on the topic. This however has some drawbacks, as mentioned in the Video section below.
Booting your mac in csm- or legacy-mode provides a solution. To do so, we need a hybrid mbr, with at least one 'active/bootable' partition. See here for more general information on how to setup a hybrid mbr. Simply boot in efi-mode, then assuming you have three partitions, the ESP partition, an osx and a linux partition you'll need to use gdisk to set things up.
gdisk /dev/sda
Press 'p' to print your partition table, which should look somewhat like mine:
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 40 409639 200.0 MiB 0700 EFI System Partition 2 409640 393186215 187.3 GiB AF00 OSX 3 393186216 625142414 110.6 GiB 8300 Linux filesystem
Press 'r' to enter recovery and transformation mode.
Now press 'o' to print your mbr. It should only list a single partition covering the entire disk. Or depending on with which tools you used to partition your disk maybe some other entries.
Press 'h' to create a new hybrid mbr. You'll be prompted for some input:
Type from one to three GPT partition numbers, separated by spaces, to be added to the hybrid MBR, in sequence:
I chose to mirror my gpt, so I entered '1 2 3', but it should be enough to just use one partition here. In my example, this would need to be the ESP partition, so '1', but in case you don't want to use the ESP to store your kernels, this could also be the linux partition, so '3'. You decide :) Make sure to say 'Yes' to the next promt:
Place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): y
Then set at least one partition as active/bootable:
Creating entry for GPT partition #1 (MBR partition #2) Enter an MBR hex code (default 07): Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): y
Note the MBR hex code depends on the partition type, press 'l' in gdisk's main menu to list them.
Press 'o' (make sure you're still in the recovery menu!!!) again to see your new hybrid mbr, in my case:
Number Boot Start Sector End Sector Status Code 1 1 39 primary 0xEE 2 * 40 409639 primary 0x07 3 409640 393186215 primary 0xAF 4 393186216 625142414 primary 0x83
You can compare start and end sectors between the two tables if you wish.
Press 'w' to write the table to disk and reboot.
Lastly you'll now need a bootloader. I use syslinux because I find it the simplest to setup, but others should also work. Install it via pacman, and then just execute
syslinux-install_update -i -a -m
It should detect your hybrid mbr and install itself automatically. Refer to Syslinux for more details.
Make sure to configure the bootloader's menu entries correctly: (syslinux)
LABEL arch MENU LABEL Arch Linux LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux APPEND root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=865 INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img
Note that 'sda3' refers to the gpt mapping, 'vga=865' means 1280x800 framebuffer resolution, nicer when using the nvidia driver.
Can't find root device
If booting fails, first try to use the initramfs-linux-fallback.img, as it includes more modules than your 'auto-detected' initramfs, and should allow the kernel to actually find your root partition. You'll then need to rebuild your regular initramfs.
I needed to include two modules in the initramfs file. In /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES="libata xfs"
Rebuild it with
mkinitcpio -p linux
Note, that you'll only need xfs if your root partition is actually formatted with it.
Once you reboot, rEFInd should now present you with three options, two linux entries and one for osx. One linux entry will boot the kernel via efistub in efi-mode, the other will call syslinux(or your chosen bootloader) which then should boot the system in csm-mode. Do the latter from now on!
The easiest way to see if you were successful, is to install the Nvidia driver and start X.
Wireless Setup provides instructions on how to identify your card, but if your MacBook Pro 7,1 is like mine then you'll head to Broadcom Wireless and use this command.
$ lspci -vnn -d 14e4:
If from this you discover that your full PCI-ID is
[14e4:432b], then the following advice applies to you: Don't waste time on the
b43 driver. I've been fiddling with it for weeks, and switching to
broadcom-wl made all the problems go away.
broadcom-wl might make your device names funky, but that's easily fixed with the udev rule documented on Broadcom Wireless.
I also recommend
According to the Debian Wiki the MacBook Pro 7,1 has an NVIDIA GeForce GT 320M in it.
Works out of the box, performance however is not that great and your system will get quite hot when running nouveau.
The drivers work, but so far only when booting the mac in csm- or legacy-mode. See here for some discussion on the topic.
In short, booting in efi-mode, will crash the nvidia module when X starts, resulting in a black screen, so in order to use nvidia's driver, you'll need to boot your machine in csm-mode.
This can't be achieved directly, but depends on apple's firmware agreeing that your partition layout warrants this as presumably they implemented the feature to allow booting of windows xp/7, neither which can ordinarily boot off a gpt partitioned disk.
To be continued..

Design Crush: Sarah Richardson
For the longest time now I've been saving images to my inspiration files that have been designed by Sarah Richardson. I just love her design style and have to say she is one of my new all time favorite designers.
Not only is Sarah an amazing interior designer, but she is also a TV personality that hails from Canada. Currently she has a show on HGTV called Sarah's House On the Farm.
Due to a hectic schedule I have yet to watch it. I know bad blogger, but I have been able to see of the eye candy on the web.
Why don't we take a peek and catch up together.
MASTER BEDROOM: I spy my favorite Hot House flower fabric on the toss pillows, a more traditional quilt on the bedspread and an oriental rug on the ground. Normally one would think that nothing would go, but it all works!
MASTER BATHROOM: I don't get to design a lot of country rooms, but it is a style that I enjoy. I love the rustic vanities, plaid curtains and chinoiserie style chair. Again a great mix of things that normally wouldn't sound like they go.
BOYS BEDROOM: Love the wood paneled ceiling! Enough said.
GIRLS BEDROOM: Love, love the shape of the headboard and that teeny peek of polka dot just makes the room for me.
DINING ROOM: I spy a peek of orange floral wallpaper plus a statement lighting fixture!
KITCHEN: More polka dots! Again they totally make the room for me.
LIVING ROOM:Stunning. Check out that massive crest above the fireplace. So cool? Does your family name have a crest that goes along with it?
I'm already hooked! I see that the show is aired on Saturdays. You know now what I'll be doing this weekend!
Do you have a favorite room designed by Sarah?

Practical information and tips from the experts to help you and your family stay food safe.
Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed: Delicious and Safe
On Mother's Day, many kids prepare and serve breakfast in bed for Mom. It's a great opportunity not just to celebrate mothers, but also to help kids learn the basic lessons of food safety. The goal is to serve a safe, delicious breakfast in bed – not give Mom a foodborne illness that will leave her sick in bed!
Lesson 1. Keep Everything Clean
Bacteria and viruses can be hiding just about anywhere: in the kitchen, on a plate and on hands. These invisible enemies can make Mom sick. Always wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds before and after preparing food, after playing with pets or handling pet food, and after using the bathroom.
Wash all fruits and vegetables with running tap water before cutting or eating them. Put food on clean surfaces only. Always use clean knives, forks, spoons, and plates.
Lesson 2. Keep Raw and Cooked Foods Separated
Cross-contamination is the scientific word for how bacteria can be spread from one food to another. To prevent cross-contamination, always keep raw meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood (and their juices) away from ready-to-eat foods.
Always wash cutting boards, dishes and utensils with hot, soapy water after they come in contact with raw meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood. Never place cooked food on a plate that previously held raw meat, poultry, and seafood.
Lesson 3. Cook Food to Safe Temperatures
You can't see, smell, or taste bacteria that cause foodborne illness. That's why you should use a food thermometer to make sure food has reached a safe internal temperature. You can't tell food is cooked safely by how it looks.
Always place the food thermometer in the thickest part of the food, away from bone and fat, to check the temperature. Always cook eggs before eating them. When cooked, eggs should be firm, not runny.
Lesson 4. Keep Perishable Foods Cold
To grow and multiply, bacteria need time and the right environment: moisture and warmth. Most bacteria grow quickly between 40 °F and 140 °F (the Danger Zone). Some bacteria can double their numbers every 20 minutes.
Some foods that need to stay cold (at 40 °F or below) include sandwiches or salads made with meat and poultry; tuna and egg salad; milk, cheese, and yogurt; and peeled or cut fruits and vegetables.
Refrigerate any leftovers from Mom's special meal within 2 hours. Throw out perishable food left out for more than 2 hours, and don't feed it to your pets. Even pets are susceptible to foodborne bacteria. To reheat leftovers safely, make sure they reach 165 °F as measured with a food thermometer.

In Chicago, Cooking and Driving Don't Mix
(Wall Street Journal) — Tiffany Kurtz was cruising the downtown streets here in her powder-blue van when a group of women flagged her down. She punched her hazard lights on, pulled into a loading zone and began selling her wares. Within minutes, a police officer rolled up with his lights flashing. "We're stopping the sale of cupcakes," she recalls him saying, before he handed her a ticket and shooed her away. Food trucks—essentially restaurants on wheels—have taken off in cities such as Los Angeles and New York, spurred by the weak economy, trendy fare and the proliferation of social media, like Twitter. Food & Wine magazine voted an L.A. food-truck chef one of its "Best New Chefs" of 2010 and the Food Network has a show devoted to such vendors. But in Chicago, one of the nation's most progressive culinary cities, the trucks are held back by restrictive rules and operate in a legal twilight zone.

I didn't actually watch the entirety of the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night (hello, Game of Thrones finale! Val Morgulfant! Uh, Valant McMortleburger! Valur VonMo—oh screw it! A man has a seriously effed up calling card!), but I made sure to catch the opening monologue, because I had a good feeling about Russell Brand as show host.
Most of the time the opening jokes during awards shows are as weak as the tortured skits that follow, but Brand's signature rapid-fire style combined with just the right amount of snark made for great entertainment. He didn't play it safe by any means, but he also didn't push things quite so far as Ricky Gervais (thus hopefully escaping the blowback Gervais got after the 2011 Golden Globes).
If you missed Brand's performance last night, here's a rundown of some of his best lines:
Bieber vs the Paparazzi. "Justin Bieber beat up a paparazzi. Well done, Justin!" Brand said, before declaring that he found Bieber "so pretty" that "even if he was attacking me, I think I would do a little orgasm."
Brand's hilarious digs at his own past drama. Hey remember when Brand was arrested for grabbing a photographer's phone and hurling it through a window, and also that time he was married to Katy Perry for all of 14 months? He figures you do: "If after recent events you think it's hypocritical of me to joke about celebrities beating up a paparazzi, wait 'til you hear about what I've got to say about short-lived celebrity marriages."
More from The Stir: Jennifer Aniston Looked Like a 'Dirtbag' at MTV Movie Awards (VIDEO)
Kim Kardashian & KANN-ye's sex tape. Brand said he was hoping for a sex tape from the high-profile lovebirds, and added that "I think of Kim Kardashian as the Stanley Kubrick of sex tapes. They're always brilliant but he only does one a decade."
Michael's enormous Fassbender. Of actor Michael Fassbender, Brand said, "I did literally go to school with Michael Fassbender and I'm embarrassed to admit that at the time I didn't notice his huge, engorged talent as I was too busy staring at his massive cock. I deliberately removed all erotic content from this monologue 'cause he's only there in the second row and if I get him too aroused, I may lose an eye."
The appeal of Teen Mom. "Hunger Games is a story about a dystopia where poor people are humiliated for the amusement of an elite class. That will obviously never happen! Do stay tuned after the show for the new season of Teen Mom, where pregnant women are laughed at for money!"
John Travolta's massage scandal. During his inevitable Rock of Ages plug, Brand said it was the best movie since Grease—and he added that he honored that film by giving Travolta a massage before the show. "He needed it, man. He was so stiff, I'm telling ya!"
One last riff on his marriage. Brand cheerily made yet another reference to Katy Perry by announcing, "The last time I did an MTV awards show, I did end up marrying someone that was there. So tonight I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for my next wife." He then looped back to some earlier jokes, saying, "Fassbender! It has to be. I'm going to get some massage oil off Travolta. Michael, meet me in the dressing room."
Here's the video of Brand's monologue, take a look if you didn't see him in action on Sunday:
Get More: MTV Shows
Personally, I thought he was great, and I'd love to see him take on more gigs like this. Billy Crystal, you've had your day—Russell Brand for Oscars MC!

India Reacts to Hyderabad Attack
India has been put on alert after two bomb blasts in the southern city of Hyderabad killed at least 14 people and injured more than 100. No group has yet claimed responsibility for Thursday's attack.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh described the blasts in Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh, as a "dastardly attack" and said "The guilty will not go unpunished." Read full statement here.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy condemned the deadly blasts as a "barbaric act."
"The state government along with central government will see to it the culprits are booked as early as possible," Mr. Reddy said Thursday.
Hyderabad Mayor Mohammad Majid Hussain described the attack as an "act of cowardice… This is a moment of deep grief and I extend my sympathy to the bereaved families," he said late Thursday.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari called it "a very unfortunate and extremely condemnable incident… The government is wholeheartedly with the families of those killed in the blasts, and we will take total care of those injured," Mr. Tewari said Thursday evening.
Rajnath Singh, president of the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party demanded a thorough investigation. "I express my condolences to the family members of those killed in the blast. This is a condemnable incident. I hope the government will take appropriate action to provide immediate and adequate relief to those injured in the blast," The Press Trust of India quoted him as saying.
Sushma Swaraj, BJP leader said in the lower house of Parliament Friday that "parties unite to fight terror."
BJP state president G. Kishan Reddy said Friday morning that "communal harmony should prevail. Our immediate concern is to see the injured get better treatment."
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences on social networking site Twitter: "News of blasts in Hyderabad is saddening. My condolences to the families of those who lost their lives. Praying for peace & calm there."
Muslim leader Akbaruddin Owaisi, a lawmaker from the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen party condemned the "inhuman and barbaric act." "Many innocents have lost their lives. I appeal to people to maintain peace," he said Friday.
Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan tweeted: "What can one say, that has not been said already ! Vulnerable !!"
In an interview with The Times of India, Bollywood director Mahesh Bhatt said, "The entire country needs to be united and deal with heart-breaking tragedies. We must first defeat the enemy, and then, sort out our political differences.
In an opinion piece in The Hindustan Times, Rajdeep Sardesai looked to Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, saying that the minister might be finding his post "too hot to handle."
"Though Sushil Kumar Shinde is an emblem of upward mobility in politics, he must realize that as home minister, he cannot just smile his way through every crisis," Mr. Sardesai wrote.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (August 16, 2009) - In its final exhibition match of the season, the ETSU women's soccer team outlasted a tough Winthrop team 1-0 Sunday at Summers-Taylor Stadium in Johnson City.
With the win ETSU's confidence will be high as they start the 2009 regular season next week after defeating the Lady Eagles and King College for a perfect 2-0 record this preseason.
As play opened, both teams battled for possession early in the first half with the two clubs firing a number of shots that went just wide of the goal. As play finished in the opening frame neither squad could find the back of the net as the Bucs and Lady Eagles closed out the first half in a scoreless tie.
As second half play got underway ETSU got its first scoring chance in the 47th minute when junior forward Jessica Huntington's (Newport News, Va.), shot hit the top of the crossbar and then bounced back to junior forward Terri Miller (Cape Coral, Fla.), whose rebound attempt fired just high of the goal.
"We've talked a lot about finishing and playing a complete match and today in a close contest we did a better job of that," said head coach Heather Henson. "We did a better job winning 50-50 balls in the air and really keeping our principles as this match went deep into the second half with no score."
As play continued both teams battled for ball control late into the second half, until junior midfielder Alex Meehan (Knoxville, Tenn.), found the back of the net from 25-yards out to break the scoreless tie in the 85th minute.
"Alex is a player that has come along nicely over the past couple of months" said Henson. "She worked extremely hard this summer at getting better and we thought all spring her shot selection and crosses have been the best we've seen since she's been here at ETSU."
Winthrop would go on to have one more scoring opportunity, but great play from ETSU's backline defenders and sophomore goalkeeper Megan Masch (Virginia Beach, Va.,) closed out the Lady Eagles for the 1-0 win.
"I thought Jen (Altimier) played a lot better today on the defensive side of the ball," said Henson. "Overall, we thought today was going to be a defensive battle and anytime that happens you have to stay patient and play within your system. At times players in a close match can worry about the score and try to force the issue, but today I was proud to see our team stay mature and play within ourselves."
Now that the preseason has ended ETSU returns to practice this week before opening the 2009 campaign at in-state rival Tennessee next Saturday, in Knoxville.

Verizon Wireless and Motorola today said fewer than one-tenth of 1% of the new Droid X smartphones that have been sold have experienced a "flickering" or "banding" on the display, and that Motorola has resolved the problem.
With the fix added, the Droid Xs continue to ship after first going on sale last Thursday, the companies said in a short e-mailed statement. The statement refers to "a very small number" of units with the problem, a figure that a Verizon spokeswoman said amounts to "less than one tenth of one percent, but I can't share the number."
Verizon and Motorola acted quickly to address the screen display issue on the Android -based Droid X, given that reports on the problem surfaced one day after it went on sale on a Thursday, and the companies released a statement and a fix the following Tuesday.
By contrast, it was 22 days before Apple CEO Steve Jobs last week offered to provide customers with a free case for the iPhone 4 to help resolve an antenna problem that came to light after the June 24 launch of the device. The reports on the reception issue saddled Apple with immediate negative publicity .
"This is the right way to handle a problem," said analyst Jack Gold of J. Gold Associates. "Nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand. People can deal with a problem if you admit you have one and go ahead and tell them you will fix it. That is called customer service."
Gold said it is "much less expensive to handle a problem in the early stages than wait until lots of units get out there with the same problem and have to take remedial action."
The companies' statement reads: "Verizon Wireless and Motorola are aware of a very small number of Droid X units that have experienced a flickering or banding display. Motorola has resolved the issue and is continuing to ship the phones. Any consumer who experiences a flickering or banding display should contact Motorola customer support center or Verizon Wireless."
Verizon is replacing defective units with a new phone, the spokeswoman said. An over-the-air patch is being sent to other Droid X customers to prevent the problem from occurring, according to various blogs.
The flickering and banding problem was not the full extent of the display problem, according to some users on blogs, including HowardForums , a well-known discussion board for mobile phones. With some units, the display went dead , they said.
HowardForums, which requires a registration to post or read comments, had more than 50 postings about Droid X screen failures as early as July 16, led by this one from someone called vernonator: "While many of you are waiting for your Droid X's to be delivered I already returned mine. I did the pre-order from Best Buy and picked it up 5 min after they opened on Thursday. That afternoon I noticed a line of dead pixels across the screen about 1/3 of the way down - they flickered in and out, but finally stayed on the rest of the evening. This afternoon the bottom 1/2 of the screen went dead...flickered a bit and just died, even when pulling the battery it only showed the bottom 1/2 of the Motorola M on the boot screen.
Took it back to Best Buy and they stated that I was the 3rd one returned today with the dead screen...OUT OF 6 THEY SOLD ON LAUNCH DAY!!!!!!"

How do we reconcile the fact that only 15% of Americans believe that humans are the product of evolution, with no divine guidance, with the supposed drop in religiosity?http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/frontal-cortex/2012/06/brain-...
Views: 388
Thoughtful and interesting concepts.
My experience with the weakly spiritual/religious is that they and/or their children were much more likely to abandon magical thinking entirely than those who were deeply involved in a fundamentally religious community. The spiritual whackos don't have the support system, for one thing, and the fact that they latched onto Deepak Chopra or holistic healing suggests that they had doubts about the traditional Western god.
Certainly any faith based, anti-science belief system will have its vulnerable and its exploiters, but I fear the totalitarian nature of fundamentalist Islam far more that Wicca.
The spiritual wackos usually have a strong support system of friends and family who are equally wacky, or at least blindly tolerant of their wackiness. They have probably also invested a significant amount of money and time into their personal spirituality--and few things make people feel more stupid than to realize they've given their money to a huckster. They will do anything to keep from admitting that including spending even more money to prove themselves. They are not weakly spiritual, and belief in dubious holistic therapies or pop philosophers doesn't mean they have doubts in any traditional gods. The thinking is exactly the same, its just dressed up in a harmless looking costume.
And I don't mean to suggest we have more to fear from Barnes & Nobel religions than theocratic dictatorships. That's a false dichotomy--both are harmful in different ways. Just because Wicca may not be immediately and personally harmful to me doesn't mean I shouldn't be concerned. These people are my neighbors and service workers. They are my friends. I benefit from their health and lack of ignorance. Off the shelf religion robs them of that.
I'm certainly not defending the spiritual and magical, but I won't go along with the suggestion that there are no relatively harmless and weakly held magical beliefs, and, as in my example of the American Ashkenazim, transitions away from strong religious traditions may pass through Chopra, Marxism or other less than critically examined phases. There are certainly a lot of quick transitions as well, directly from fundamentalism to atheism. But, particularly on the larger societal scale, I don't rule out transitional devices on the way to critical thinking and science. And I'm still hopeful that larger percentages of people will go that way in the future - at least until over-population, disease, resource depletion, etc. takes the whole show down.
It's a name a hesitate to even bring up but I was thinking specifically of Silver Ravenwolf and her ilk. Her earliest books read like role playing guides, don't know what they're like in detail now but reportedly she still peddles the same dishonest, white-light crap she always has. I know people who devoted a LOT of time, energy and money in that sort of thing and coming out hurt in the end. That's not the universal experience of neo-paganism or people who practice traditional life ways, I know. But I suspect there are a lot of people who were left out in the philosophical cold when they realized they couldn't buy the thing Silver said she was selling--personal fulfillment.
I was left in a similar boat at one point and literally had no one to turn to for guidance in coping with the cognitive dissonance. It bothers me that there are probably other people out there going through what I went through but are ignored because what they believed is seen as "not serious".
And I think that's not good enough! ;)
Well, that's just it; just because they believe in a type of ID that happens to encompass a proven biological theory doesn't mean they're any more likely to take "our side". These same people could wish death on "our side" for being too secular, too liberal, (even) too scientific, or whatever random thing they wish to believe about secular thinking people who understand and are interested in science.
There's at least one example of a culture moving from fundamentalism to secularism and it may provide a model for others.
In the early Nineteenth Century, Judaism was more or less god-based, patriarchal and all-encompassing. Later in the century came reform, and tolerance of new ideas. Valuing of education was no longer limited to religious education. Today, people who identify as American Jews are primarily secular and are Jews in an ethnic sense only. Others have given up the identity.
By the way, exercise didn't seem to play much of a role in the transition.
Good article, and hopeful. We will reach the critical mass eventually and most people will get that "squirt of blood to the anterior cingulate cortex".
According to nature that part of the brain is enhanced by exercise. Americans don't move much. I see a need for a study to find out if atheists are more physically active than religious counterparts.

Judge sides with CAIR against Michael Savage
Sends message using radio talker's work all right
Michael Savage
A Clinton-appointed judge in California is siding with the Council on Islamic-American Relations in a lawsuit by radio talk-show host Michael Savage.
Judge Susan Illston has issued a terse one-page ruling in the case in which she granted a defense motion for judgment on the pleadings with "leave to amend." Although it was released only today, it was dated Friday, apparently finalized shortly after she held a hearing on the issues at hand.
Savage promised he would immediately take the case to the next level, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which he described as "an even more liberal court – if you can believe it – the most frequently overturned court in the United States of America."
"What I may try to do is have the case removed from California, because I cannot get a fair trial," Savage said on tonight's program. "I may remove it to Alabama, for example, where maybe I could get a fair trial – maybe where there's still America. It certainly doesn't exist here in California."
The San Francisco-based talker originally accused the Islamic organization of copyright violations but later amended the action to include allegations the group "has consistently sought to silence opponents of violent terror through economic blackmail, frivolous but costly lawsuits, threats of lawsuits and abuses of the legal system."
The action in U.S. District Court in Northern California also accused CAIR of using extortion, threats, abuse of the court system and obtaining money via interstate commerce under false and fraudulent circumstances – calling it a "political vehicle of international terrorism" and even linking the group with support of al-Qaida.
The federal government, in fact, recently named CAIR, based in Washington, D.C., as an unindicted co-conspirator in an alleged scheme to funnel $12 million to the terrorist group Hamas.
The lawsuit was the subject of court hearing on Friday, and according to a report from the Associated Press, Illston said she was "leaning toward tossing out" the action.
She did say she was considering allowing Savage's lawyer to submit a revised complaint to keep the case alive, the report said.
Savage's attorney Daniel Horowitz said the copyright claim was valid because CAIR used Savage's material "for purely commercial purposes," but the judge said she found free speech arguments persuasive.
As WND has reported, CAIR has been associated with a disturbing number of convicted terrorists or felons in terrorism probes, as well as suspected terrorists and active targets of terrorism investigations.
"Groups like CAIR have a proven record of senior officials being indicted and either imprisoned or deported from the United States," said U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., co-founder of the House Anti-Terrorism/Jihad Caucus.
Savage and Horowitz, a celebrity civil rights attorney, are trying to use the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act to make the case that "CAIR and its co-conspirators have aided, abetted and materially sponsored al-Qaida and international terrorism."
CAIR launched a campaign against "The Savage Nation," as the program is called, using extended audio clips of the show to make the case that advertisers who supported the talker were actually endorsing "hate speech" against Muslims.
Savage turned the tables on the activist group by initially suing for copyright violation of the show's material, then expanding the case.
Among the charges is that CAIR is "part of a deliberately complex and deliberately confusing array of related organizations" and that its "organizational structure is part of a scheme to hide the illegal activities of the group, funding, the transfer of funds and to complicate investigation of the group."
Other highlights of the suit:
- "CAIR is not a civil rights organization and it never has been. – CAIR was and is a political organization that advocates a specific political agenda on behalf of foreign interests."
- "The copyright infringement was done to raise funds for CAIR so that it could perpetuate and continue to perform its role in the RICO conspiracy set forth in Count Two and to disseminate propaganda on behalf of foreign interests that are opposed to the continued existence of the United States of America as a free nation."
- "CAIR would have to register as a foreign agent if their activities were not hidden under the false claim that they are a civil rights organization that enjoys tax-exempt status."
- "CAIR was tied to terror from the day it was formed. The group was incorporated on or about 1994 by Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad. Both men were officers of a terror organization known as the 'Islamic Association of Palestine.'"
- "CAIR's parent group, IAP, was founded in or about 1982 by Musa Abu Marzook. Marzook was IAP's ideological leader and controlling director from the date of its founding until shortly after his deportation from the United States in 1997. At all time relevant, Marzook was an operative of, and/or affiliated with, the 'Harakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyyah,' or 'Hamas.' Hamas is an international terrorist organization."
- In 1998, "CAIR demanded the removal of a Los Angeles billboard describing Osama bin Laden as 'the sworn enemy,' asserting that this depiction [was] 'offensive to Muslims.'"
- In 1998, "CAIR denied bin Laden's responsibility for the two al-Qaida bombings of American embassies in Africa. CAIR's leader Ibrahim Hooper claimed the bombings resulted from 'misunderstandings on both sides.'"
- "On October 5, 2001, just weeks after 9/11, CAIR's New York office sent a letter to The New York Times arguing that the paper had misidentified three of the hijackers and suggesting that the attacks may have been committed by people who were impersonating Arab Muslims."
- "CAIR further exploited 9/11 as it put on its website a picture of the World Trade Center in flames and below it a call for donations that was linked to the Holy Land Foundation website." The Holy Land Foundation, the suit charges, is "a terror organization."
- "CAIR receives significant international funding. For example, in 1999 the Islamic Development Bank gave a $250,000 grant to CAIR to purchase land for a national headquarters. In 2002, the World Association for Muslim Youth, a Saudi government-funded organization, financed distributing books on Islam free of charge and an advertising campaign in American publications. This included a quarter page in USA Today each Friday, for a year, estimated to cost $1.04 million. In 2003, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal donated $500,000 to distribute the Koran and other books about Islam in the United States. In 2005, CAIR's Washington branch received a donation of $1,366,466 from a Saudi Arabian named Adnan Bogary. In 2006, Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, deputy ruler of Dubai and UAE minister of finance and industry, financed the building of a property in the U.S. to serve as an endowment for the organization. This gift is thought to generate income of approximately $3 million a year."
- "The role of CAIR and CAIR-Canada is to wage PSYOPS (psychological warfare) and disinformation activities on behalf of Wahabbi-based Islamic terrorists throughout North America. They are the intellectual 'shock troops' of Islamic terrorism."
- "The Council on American-Islamic Relations is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization. It works in the United States as a lobby against radio, television and print media journalists who dare to produce anything about Islam that is at variance with their fundamental agenda."
- "CAIR has links to both Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Terrorism expert Steven Emerson has stated before Congress that CAIR is a front for Hamas."
Savage's case also cites another suit against CAIR filed by the estate of John P. O'Neill, the former head of security for the World Trade Center. It alleged a RICO conspiracy involving CAIR led to the 9/11 attack.
"Throughout this period," the Savage suit alleges, "CAIR conspired to support terrorism and to obfuscate the roles of the various participants and conspirators in Radical Muslim Terrorism, and/or al-Qaida and/or the International Islamic Front for the Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders, which conspiracy culminated in the 9/11 attack."
It continues: "The pattern of racketeering activity conducted by CAIR is separate from the existence of Radical Muslim Terrorism, and/or the al-Qaida, and/or the International Islamic Front for the Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders, but was a necessary component of the 9/11 attack. The RICO enterprise conducts terrorism all over the world; the racketeering activity conducted by CAIR funds that activity, which activity culminated in the 9/11 attack."
CAIR has claimed a host of companies have stopped advertising on Savage's show as a result of its boycott campaign.
However, an investigation by WND shows some of those boycott victories are questionable. In one announcement claiming Universal Orlando Resorts "drops 'Savage Nation' ads," CAIR stated: "Advertisers that have already stopped airing, or refuse to air commercials on 'Savage Nation' include AutoZone, Citrix, TrustedID, JCPenney, OfficeMax, Wal-Mart and AT&T."
But AutoZone told WND the CAIR campaign had nothing to do with its advertising decision, and it had chosen not to advertise on any radio talk shows – of all parts of the spectrum – years before the CAIR effort.
CAIR officials declined to respond to WND queries about why it is listing companies as part of its boycott campaign that say they have not participated in the boycott.
Officials of Talk Radio Network, Savage's syndicator, confirmed to WND that companies including AutoZone and JCPenney never advertise on such programs.
"We do not sponsor syndicated radio talk shows," AutoZone spokesman Ray Pohlman told WND. "We have customers of all shapes and sizes and political persuasions. For us to sponsor [any radio talk shows] wouldn't make any sense."
But that policy is years old, and wasn't changed at all by CAIR's effort, he said.
"What I will tell you is the CAIR organization did, in fact, contact the marketing department [of AutoZone.] We responded with our full advertising policy which clearly states that we do not advertise on radio talk shows," he told WND.
The clip used by CAIR from Savage's material included: "I'm not gonna put my wife in a hijab. And I'm not gonna put my daughter in a burqa. And I'm not getting' on my all-fours and braying to Mecca. And you could drop dead if you don't like it. You can shove it up your pipe. I don't wanna hear any more about Islam. I don't wanna hear one more word about Islam. Take your religion and shove it up your behind. I'm sick of you."
The Savage suit says comments like that are taken out of context.
The suit seeks damages equal to the ongoing donations from CAIR supporters "who expect CAIR to act in this manner in exchange for continuing financial support" as well as "actual damages according to proof."
