WASHINGTON – A new book asserts the idea of replacing Vice President Joe Biden with Hillary Rodham Clinton was floated in President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, but the White House is downplaying it, saying the president never considered making a swap.
"Had anyone brought that idea to him he would have laughed it out of the room," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Friday.
In their new book "Double Down — Game Change 2012," authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann report that high-ranking Obama aides weighed recommending he replace Biden with Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time
Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley confirmed in a "CBS This Morning" interview Friday that the idea "was looked at" by Obama aides.
But he added: "Not for a moment was there a serious discussion" of dumping Biden for Clinton.
Carney added: "It's important to know that campaigns, pollsters test a lot of things. What I can tell you without a doubt is that the president never considered that."
"Joe Biden has been an excellent partner, in the president's view," Carney said.
Former campaign manager David Plouffe, in a Twitter post late Thursday, said, "Never any – any consideration of VP/HRC switch. Not even entertained by the only person who mattered. Or most of us. Back to Halloween."

This is truly one of the hottest Hawaiian Hunks I've come across in a long time… who am I kidding, I really have no one to compare him to, he's just smokin'! Paul Brumble is a super sexy 21 year old model from Honolulu Hawaii, who just happens to have one of the most sexy stares on the face of this planet. Paul is not shy in front of the camera, having done a photo shoot for PlayGirl magazine. He was "real man of the month" where you can see him in all his glory so to speak, back in 2006. Paul is seen here in many photos by photographer Kurt Brown, so I must give credit to this talented photographer for capturing the unbelievable stunning Paul in all his glory. Hmm that's twice I say that, must be something in the water!

Quaker Voluntary Service
We are a faith based (Quaker) nonprofit organization. We are a national network that provides young adults with service opportunities in areas of peace and social justice such as working to combat poverty, work with the homeless, education and anti-racism.
This is our organization's Vision Statement:
Vision Statement:
Quaker Voluntary Service (QVS) fosters dynamic relationships of service, witness, and worship in a living Quaker faith. In a world oppressed by the powers of violence, domination, exclusion and fear, QVS empowers transformative partnerships in the work of liberation and justice. We seek to be a vessel for the renewal and transformation of relationships with God and with one another. We are called to wrestle, labor, and delight in our blessed diversity, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
People who are young, progressive, spiritual, social justice oriented.
We would be interested in a symbol like a helping hand, a house signifying community, a candle/light imagery, olive branch, etc (definitely not a cross). Quaker distinctive values include simplicity, peace, equality, and community and a logo reflecting any or all of those would be great.

I'm a bartender. I may be changing jobs soon and want to create a business card that allows my customers to get in touch with me wherever I go. I want to include my email, facebook, and phone. Not sure if I need it to say "bartender" or just my name.
facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php…1611033231 (Not sure if I should put this or just my name on my FB, which is Nathan Spear of course haha)
email: email@example.com
phone: 561-339-8517
I'd like it to not be boring, something fun, catchy. I'm a very outgoing person, with a wide customer base. I've thought all types of different cards. From the colorful vibrant, exciting cards, to the flat black type cards that can be catchy at times. Some sort of graphic on the card could be nice. I live in Southern FL, so maybe something that matches that type of atmosphere. To be honest I don't know exactly what I want it to be. It doesn't even have to be a horizontal card, it can be vertical. I'm open to all kinds of ideas. I just want it to catch the eye.
I have very wide range of customers, from College students, to business professionals that I deal with on a regular basis. I'd like the card however to reflect me. I'm a person with a wide range of friends, I make people feel very comfortable at my bar. I'm not cocky or rude behind my bar. I will be working in night club type atmospheres, late night, martini bars maybe... I work at a late night place now. Won't be doing hotel, or corporate type restaurants as much.

ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS: The Blazing LV9000 Wire Connector is sold individually. However, to order bag quantities, please order in multiples of 24.
Blazing Wire Connectors LV 9000 are the low-voltage wire connectors designed for the professional irrigation and landscape lighting contractor. Unlike twist-on connectors, you never have to doubt the connection.
Just squeeze and lock to hydraulically pump and pack waterproofing silicone. Pre-filled silicone fully encapsulates all bare wires, closing all entryways against moisture and corrosion. A double O-ring seal bars water from creeping in, and latches lock the connector around the wires. Blazing Wire Connectors� are vibration-proof and never dangle off the wires.
Are you familiar with the traditional problems of "waterproof" low-voltage wiring?
Blazing Wire Connectors� solve all of these problems with their patented design.
"A poor wire connection will always lead to an expensive and time-consuming call back. A call back takes time and money out of the contractor's pocket... Unlike ordinary twist-on wire connectors that traditionally cause gaps into which moisture can enter and accumulate, Snaploc wire connectors are 100-percent water resistant." --Tech Times, Official quarterly of Irrigator Technical Training School, CA ("Snaploc...Innovation at Its Best!", Fall 2001)
(Formerly known as SNAPLOC� Low-Voltage Wire Connectors.)
The LV 9000 and LV 9500 wire connectors can be used with both solid and stranded wires.
Designed specifically for landscape lighting, golf courses, and larger irrigation wiring.
Not to be sold without installation instructions. Use only in accordance with local and national codes. Contact factory for warranty information. U.S. Patent #6,051,791. All other trademarks, U.S. & Foreign Patents apply.

(Reuters) - The game between the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning that was postponed because of a blizzard in the northeastern United States has been rescheduled for April 25, the National Hockey League (NHL) said on Monday.
The game in Boston was originally scheduled for 1 p.m. ET last Saturday but was pushed back to 7 p.m. due to a snow storm and ultimately postponed five hours before faceoff.
The rescheduled game at TD Garden in Boston, which will be the penultimate game of the regular season for both teams, will start at 7:30 p.m., the league said in a statement.
The blizzard dumped up to 40 inches (1 meter) of snow with hurricane force winds, killing at least nine people and leaving hundreds of thousands without power in the U.S. Northeast.

You know how we claim to loves cars just because of the curve of the hood? Well, now we love a car solely because of its headlights. Sure, the miserably named LS600hL is the world's most expensive hybrid, and it makes 430 hybrid horsepower and we'd like to be buried in the oh-so-luxurious backseat, but just look at those gorgeous floods. Just look at them! Bumbeck snapped pictures of them for thirty minutes straight and Loverman was seen afterwards adjusting his belt. Yeah man, headlights.

I was well on my way to writing another fire and brimstone column about the Bi-County Health Bureau, this time aimed at the Lehigh County commissioners' plan to kill it for good rather than await a more favorable economic climate.
That column was redirected when I learned last week about the Corbett administration's latest salvo in its war on the old, sick, poor, disabled, out-of-work and pretty much anyone else who isn't working in the energy industry. If the Health Bureau had any chance of surviving Wednesday night's vote, Corbett killed it.

BALLOT BOX BUNNY (Warner Bros., 1951)

Now, enjoy the fabulous Warner Bros. style of background art... unashamedly cartoon-eey!

these are really neat! it's interesting too that you say they're cartoony but design wise there's not too much unnatural happening, it's really all in the color. it seems like there's a lot of mostly flat feeling color with very little detail on the buildings and whatnot but were they filled in differently i bet they would take on a much more naturalistic appearance. it's fun to see how much color alone can do!

This may have the best examples of Paul Julian's Old West/Victorian style of architecture.
I've always liked hunting for names of the staff. I never noticed the ones on the statue before. Is 'Nicholson' Sam Nicholson? I'd still like to know who Josiah Freep was.

Awesome backgrounds. I love how solid the perspective was in those days. the compositions where very strong and constructed with a lot care. Another good movie for backgrounds with dynamic perspective is american tale and fievel goes west. The sense of scale is fantastic.

Hi Rob and congratulations,
Amazing research into a fantastic world! I myself am a great admirer of cartoon background artists' work! One of my favourite collections is in the 1957 "Deduce you Say" short. I am still searching for a collection of these works all compiled in a book or a website! Again, great work, don't give up mate! Best regards from Crete, Greece.

An Android Phone for Cost-Conscious Buyers
South Korea's iriver is adding to the global lineup of low-priced Android phones with the launch of the ULALA model.
The maker of digital music players is selling its smartphone on the domestic market for less than $150, mainly targeting businessmen who want a second phone and cost-conscious consumers such as visiting students. A spokesman said the company is considering launching the phone overseas after "good response" in the Korean market.
The ULALA has a 3.5-inch screen and a slot for a second SIM card. It also supports analog radio transmission, allowing users to listen to radio programs without having to connect to the internet. But its biggest selling point is undoubtedly its price.

Breaking News
Thomas Howard – an NFL linebacker who was cut by the Falcons last week – killed himself and another person this morning when he slammed into a big rig truck at more than 100MPH ... officials say.
Witnesses told the CHP ... Howard -- a 2nd round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft -- was blazing down a highway in Oakland, CA when he lost control of his BMW 750Li and smashed into the back of a semi.
Howard's car went airborne and flew across the center median -- and eventually collided with a Chevy Monte Carlo AND a Honda CR-V.
The collision was bad, both Howard and the driver of the Honda -- a 55-year-old man -- died at the scene.
The driver of the Chevy was transported to a nearby hospital. The condition of the semi driver is unknown.
30-year-old Howard was drafted by the Oakland Raiders and blossomed into a star. He also played for the Bengals and most recently the Falcons. He was cut by ATL on November 12.

Topic : 06/06 "I'm Gay, OK?"
(Original Air Date: 10/19/05) Sexual orientation used to be something kept hidden from family and co-workers, but now more and more people are "coming out" and finding acceptance. Anjela says her mother and sister don't support her sexual orientation, and feel she can't be Christian and gay at the same time. Can they reconcile this touchy issue? Then, two men debate whether a person can go from gay to straight, and parents of a 4-year-old boy fear their son's desire to play with dolls and wear heels means he'll grow up to be gay. Are they overreacting to his wishes to be a princess instead of a prince? Talk about gender and gay issues here.

Win or lose this afternoon, Mike Pelfrey will have had a good first half. Much better than anybody would have anticipated considering how he was rocked during spring training.
However, today is more about heading into the break on a positive psychological note than it is pumping up his already impressive numbers.
At 10-3, and on pace for a 19-6 season, Pelfrey is having a breakthrough year, but is going through rough patch, almost a flashback to last year in his inability to minimize the damage and finish off innings, something he has done so well throughout the first half.
After a 9-1 start that unearthed his maturity, including a loss to the Yankees in late June, Pelfrey is 1-2 over his last four starts. That, in it is no big deal, but what has raised a red flag was an inability to finish and a lack of composure, which flared in Monday's loss to Cincinnati.
Pelfrey unraveled after failing to get two calls and the result was seven runs in 4 2/3 innings, his second straight start in which he failed to get out of the fifth.
"I thought for the first time in over a year, I let my emotions get the best of me,'' Pelfrey said in a candid admission. "That wasn't very good on my part.''
Not only did Pelfrey admit to that, but attributed his rough patch to a dead arm period.
"Every year, you just go through a little period where you don't feel like the ball is coming out of your hand like it has that extra life on it,'' Pelfrey said. "I feel like I've been going through that.''
Over his last four starts Pelfrey has been tagged for 18 runs on 34 hits and eight walks. Not All-Star like at all, but also not a regression.
Pelfrey will attempt to put the brakes on his personal and the Mets' team slide this afternoon against the Braves. Beating Atlanta for the third time in the first half would not only pull the Mets within three of the Braves but also give him a positive base from which to approach the second half.

rich@slashlacrosse needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 311 designs submitted by 82 freelance designers.
SLASH Lacrosse
I am a co-owner of the Lacrosse store. We are both passionate about the sport of lacrosse, played it in college and now coach at both the youth and high school levels. Lacrosse is a sport that has an "X" game type feel and culture. The store will have a slightly industrial look and we want a logo that has an "edgy" feel and embodies motion, speed, action and possibly contact.
It needs to be cool and unique. The logo is something that we envision working well for signage, t-shirts and equipment.
Primary target audience is boys and girls ages 8 - 18 and their parents. Kids that play the sport are probably a little outside the mainstream from a sports perspective, more in the line of snowboarders or skateboarders. We will also be sponsoring boys and girls team under the SLASH Lacrosse brand.
We are based in Seattle Washington and we would be a new brick and mortor retail store with a website.
A clean, cool logo that can be used on all company signage, webisite, t-shirts/apparel, uniforms, equipment, letterhead, business cards, stationery, email correspondence and other marketing materials.
The store will have a slightly industrial look and we want a logo that has a cool/edgy feel and embodies motion, speed, action and possibly contact.
Feel free to use your creative minds to design our logo based on what you've read above. We trust you to be as creative and/or edgy as you feel would best suit our company logo. We know that color is important along with graphics and font. That being said, we leave that up to your creativity.

Finizio's surprise move
In a move that appeared to surprise most everyone, New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio declared himself a lame duck Tuesday, announcing he would not seek re-election in November 2015.
The mayor's stated motivation is to set election politics aside and "dedicate myself fully to the task at hand." That task is pushing for the big increase in spending the mayor says is necessary to restore both fiscal health and basic city services.
"Too much of the debate in our city has been focused on me instead of our real financial problems," the mayor said in his State of the City Address Tuesday.
It is, of course, the mayor's prerogative to decide whether he wants to run again and when to announce that decision. If, however, he expects it will help get his fiscal-policy agenda passed, he may be disappointed.
The debate about the mayor and fiscal policy are inseperable. An early announcement not to run won't change that. The question is whether citizens consider his Tuesday declaration, "We are out of money, and we are out of time," to be credible?
Mayor Finizio has made questionable appointments to his administration, kept in place a development agency he promised to dissolve, reversed his decisions on firings after being adamant he was right, and taken on fights a more deft executive would have sidestepped. This has damaged his credibility, and that damage influences the discussion on fiscal policy.
Rebuilding creditability is essential to gaining support for the controversial fiscal policies Mayor Finizio espouses. It is difficult to see how declaring yourself a one-term mayor at this stage does that. Instead, making it clear he will not run could embolden his adversaries, while his influence with City Council allies could wane given the reality that they now know, for sure, he will only be around for a fixed time.
On the other hand, Mayor Finizio will be freer to veto any budget passed by the council that he considers unrealistic, without concern for political repercussions and the friction he may generate within the city's Democratic Party.
Since the start of his administration, this editorial page has backed the mayor's efforts to tackle the serious fiscal problems he inherited. But we also have acknowledged political realities. That is again the case with the mayor's proposal for an $87.1 million budget, a 7.24 percent increase over this fiscal year.
Mayor Finizio is right, the cupboard is bare and cuts in services have gone too deep, impacting public safety and the ability to maintain the city. There is logic to his contention that the recent revaluation, which saw many property assessments drop precipitously, would make a tax increase more progressive, hitting harder those with the greater ability to pay.
Yet voters would petition to referendum a spending increase as high as he proposes - and likely defeat it. The better option is to start rebuilding, moving toward the goal of an 80-officer police force, for example, by next year going from 65 to 72, and adding back six positions to Public Works, not 12.
With sad irony, Mayor Finizio delivered a masterful performance in announcing his coming exit from the stage. He stuck to policy arguments, explained his thinking and made the case for his proposed course of action. This was the mayor the city thought they were electing in 2011, delivering bold, decisive, articulate leadership.
Certainly, factoring into his decision not to run again was the nature of the attacks the mayor has faced. Criticism from some circles was relentless, personal, at times vile, and often sophomoric. Moving forward the city should strive for a higher level of discourse, heeding the mayor's request to "put our own interests aside and � put our city first."

Author Notes:
I had heard tell of a wonderful rice and octopus dish made by the friend of a Brazilian friend of mine, so when I was lucky enough to be in Rio, and eating dinner at his house, I asked him all about how to make it.
I was quite intimidated by the thought of cooking an octopus and unfortunately didn't have a chance to try it out in the presence of Marcelo himself. However, I decided the only way to overcome my fear was to face up to the tentacled creature as soon as possible, so I tracked one down and with the goal to make it taste good. And this is how I did it.
I had heard tell of a wonderful rice and octopus dish made by the friend of a Brazilian friend of mine, so when I was lucky enough to be in Rio, and eating dinner at his house, I asked him all about how to make it.
Serves: 8
2 kilos
octopus washed but whole (if you have a chance to put it into the freezer over night it actually helps tenderise it)
very large onions whole but without the skin
cloves of garlic, cut length ways into fat slices
a bunch of mustard greens or failing this some healthy and good radish greens (which is what I used as I couldn't find the former in that moment), thoroughly washed and picked for the best leaves
a bunch of broccoli, washed and made into smaller pieces, if you have access to broccoli rabe or cimi de rape they are better
a large bunch of parsley, washed, picked and chopped
a large bunch of cilantro, washed, picked and chopped
300 g
basmati rice
EV olive oil
salt and pepper
- Rice cooks in slightly different times depending where you are, so check what it says on the container you buy your rice in. Here in Rome, for instance, it takes 14 minutes. Rinse the rice in cold water in a sieve to get some of the starch off. Put the rice in a pan with a tight-fitting lid and cover with water the width of your thumb above the top of the rice. Put this on a medium to low flame and put the lid on. Set the timer to 14 mins (in my case) and make sure it doesn't overflow when the water comes to the boil (otherwise you have a hard time calculating how much more water to add, how hot for how long , etc.). As soon as the timer pings turn off the flame but leave the lid on to let the rice steam a little longer. After five minutes take off the lid and separate the grains with a fork, perhaps stirring in a drop or two of olive oil
- In a pan that is big enough to hold the whole octopus and the whole onion together with the lid fitting tight, place these two items. Put the pan over a medium flame. This is the scary bit as it seems as though the octopus will burn without any oil or liquid but in fact it starts to pour out its own liquid, as well as the onion, and starts to cook in it. You do have to watch this process (although the first time I didn't very well and it almost dried out) to make sure the liquid doesn't ever completely evaporate, so keep peeping in under the lid and regulate the temperature accordingly
- After about 40/45 minutes the octopus should feel tender and be cut easily and the onion will have practically melted away into the liquid at the bottom of the pan. If for some reason the liquid does evaporate add a bit of water so the animal doesn't have a chance to burn. Once it is cooked take the beast out of the pan and cut it up into bite sized pieces and reserve this on a plate
- Reserve also any of the cooking liquid and mash up the pulpy onion in it
- In a separate frying pan put 3 tablespoons of oil and bring up the temperature. When it is hot enough throw in the garlic in pieces and cook till it is golden. Remove two-thirds of the garlic and reserve on a plate
- throw in the octopus pieces swiftly followed by the broccoli and mustard greens. Cook these thoroughly till they wilt down
- add the rice, most of the chopped herbs, the liquid with the soft and squashy onion from the octopus, and a good dash of extra virgin olive oi
- Mix this all together and serve nice heaps in the middle of plates garnished with more herbs and some of the rest of your reserved golden garlic
- Note for serving: as a bit of a texture fetishist I love to make chifles (fried plantains) and sprinkle them on the top, adding crunch to the whole experience, I have uploaded how to make these too
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Dish with Meat as a Flavoring

In a mailbag post on Mets.com, beat writer Anthony DiComo answered the following question:
Why is general manager Sandy Alderson so against signing Stephen Drew to a two- or three-year contract?
The only explanation I can give you is one I've heard multiple times this winter: the Mets simply don't love Drew as a player.
Maybe some part of that is posturing, but I suspect there's more than a morsel of truth to it. Drew is going to be 31 on Opening Day, he hasn't had a full, healthy season in four years and his career on-base percentage is .329.
While he's obviously an upgrade over Ruben Tejada if healthy, the Mets don't see him as enough of one to justify the risk or the salary.
I think I just said that in a comment today…. But DiComo is right and he is as closely connected to Mets buzz than anyone else, so…
Read his full response and more here.
I guess after three emails with a link to a blurb about Stephen Drew this morning, the consensus is that I'm expected to give an update on the free agent shortstop? 🙂
Okay then, so, here it is… Anthony Rieber writes:
"The Mets have not ruled out a short-term contract for free-agent shortstop Stephen Drew; they are patiently waiting for Drew and agent Scott Boras to find a long-term deal if they can."
Prior to that, the last thing we heard about Stephen Drew, was that the Mets were still mildly engaged but that a deal with the Scott Boras client was more possible than probable.
The Mets, in fact, are prepared to begin the 2014 season with Ruben Tejada as their starter at shortstop.
Sandy Alderson recently said that what he hoped to accomplish before spring training opens in a few weeks, was to sign a veteran reliever on a major league deal and a starter to a minor league deal. You can cross the latter off of your checklists.
Boras will ultimately get Drew his multi-year deal, and while mum's the word in Flushing unless Drew takes a one-year deal, that's not the case in Boston where there's now whispers that they may welcome him back on a two-year deal.
Nothing has really changed on the Drew front, and just like they have been back in November, the Mets are still interested in Drew in mid-January.

My column several weeks ago on the brutal 1956 murder of Myrtle Agnes Bopst brought a flood of emails from people who vividly remembered it. One reader, Turney McKnight, recalled the murder a year later of a Baltimore socialite at the hands of her husband, a lumber executive.
After attending a cocktail party June 1, Robert Jett Van Horn, 52, and his wife of two years, Bernice Ward Flynn Van Horn, 53, decided not to spend the night at Eden Hall Apartments at 3401 Greenway, but at Evergreen Farm, their second home, on Falls Road near Shawan in northern Baltimore County.
Saturday night reverie suddenly turned into a deadly rage when the couple began arguing. As they entered the farmhouse, Bernice Van Horn struck her husband's face with her pocketbook.
He told police at the time of his arrest that his wife had made a "sharp remark."
"I actually saw red," he said.
Enraged, Van Horn beat his wife, proceeding from the steps of the house to a large tree across the yard almost 40 feet away.
"I struck her with my fists and anything else that was available, from the looks of her," he confessed.
The attack was so violent that police found blood at the base of the tree and strands of Bernice Van Horn's hair embedded in its bark. Every one of her ribs was crushed, deep cuts in her scalp went to the bone, and her spine was broken.
After he realized that his wife was dead, Van Horn placed her battered body into his 1956 DeSoto station wagon and drove around Baltimore "to places we had been together," he told police, before tossing her body down a nearby 30-foot embankment near Joppa Road and Interstate 83, then under construction.
He returned to Eden Hall, changed out of his bloodstained suit and drove to the Hanover Street Bridge, where he disposed of it into the waters of the Patapsco River.
Afterward, he drove to his office at the Sierra Lumber Co. at 1901 E. Fort Ave., where he composed two letters, one to county police and the other to his secretary.
In one letter he wrote, "May God rest her lovely soul and may He in His wisdom find means to forgive my horrible act of violence."
Sunday evening, Van Horn returned to the place where he had dumped the body. About 8:30 p.m., police in a patrol car found him sitting at the wheel of his car with a glass of whiskey in one hand and a loaded .32-caliber pistol in the other.
As police approached, he threatened to kill himself. He had been busy writing an odd letter to his dead wife that was part confession and a plea for forgiveness, and part blaming her for provoking the incident.
"Good-bye darling, wherever you are," he began his letter. "Please believe that I am desolate at losing you and heart broken that I made it so. If only you had eased off once in a while!"
He continued: "You have contributed to my being a murderer. Never did I fly off the handle in such a fashion and, of course, there will never be another."
It took an hour before police were able to distract Van Horn and place him under arrest. The coroner stated that he had not run over his wife with his car, as had been rumored at the time.
The Baltimore Country Club and Maryland Club member appeared before a three-judge panel, pleading insanity. He was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 10 years at the Maryland State Penitentiary.
Paroled in 1960, he moved in with his father, a retired Baltimore & Ohio Railroad executive, and his mother, who lived at the Ambassador Apartments on Canterbury Road. He returned to work at his lumber company.
He quietly resumed his life and eventually faded from the scene until 1969, when he married Evelyn Monte, a wealthy widow, and moved to Manhattan. In 1981, the couple retired to a wealthy retirement community in Southbury, Conn.
Van Horn, who was then 83, had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and had appeared depressed, a niece, Lyn M. McKee, told The New York Times in a June 2, 1987, interview.
During the last week of May 1987, Van Horn took a shotgun and killed his wife, 83, and then shot himself.
As he had done with the murder of his first wife, he left behind a note, whose contents police refused to disclose.
McKee, apparently unaware of Van Horn's history, said in the newspaper interview that the couple had both been married previously and that he had been "widowed."

I am a big Star Trek and Star Wars Fan - read this opinion article and tell me what you think.
Charlie Jane Anders
It's hard to overstate how boring Star Trek seemed in 2008. A pointless prequel had sucked the life out of it, the movies were crud, and the whole thing become a source of bland jokes on late-night TV. There were comics, games and novels for the die-hard fans, but as far as mainstream culture was concerned, Trek was toast.
J.J. Abrams brought Star Trek back. And now, with Star Wars in a not totally dissimilar situation, he's been brought in to repeat the feat. Can he do it again?
So first of all, yes, the comparison between Star Wars circa 2013 and Star Trek circa 2008 does seem apt. This happens to every popular universe from time to time: malaise sets in, everything feels like a retread, and too many iterations of the same old thing have invoked the Law of Diminishing Returns, which is way more unbreakable than the Prime Directive.
True, Star Wars has the Clone Wars cartoon, which is keeping it exciting for a new generation. And the Expanded Universe has a bigger reach than things like Star Trek's attempts to create an extended continuity. But to most people, Star Wars is still mostly a set of six movies that first captured our collective imagination... and then starved it.

Watch how to make this recipe.
For the dough: Put the water and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top; let rest until the mixture bubbles, about 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl to break up any lumps. When the yeast is ready, add the flour mixture and olive oil and mix, using dough hook, on the lowest speed until the dough looks shredded, about 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and continue to mix until the dough is smooth and very elastic, (you should be able to stretch it 2 to 3 inches without breaking), about 6 to 10 minutes.
Turn the dough out of the mixer, form it into a ball, and put into a large, oiled mixing bowl. Turn to coat the dough in the oil then cover with a clean, damp dishtowel, and let rest in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 30 to 45 minutes. (Alternatively, refrigerate the dough and let rise 12 to 24 hours before using.) Punch the dough down and shape as desired.
For the zucchini: Heat the grill to medium-high (about 375 degrees F) and rub the grate with a towel dipped in oil. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the zucchini to a large bowl and toss to coat. Grill the zucchini, covered, turning rarely, until tender and charred, 5 to 7 minutes.
Transfer the cooked zucchini to a bowl and add the red wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Season with the salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Set aside until ready to use.
For the pizza: Heat the grill to medium-high (about 375 degrees F) and rub the grate with a towel dipped in oil.
Oil your hands, put half of the dough (about 1 pound) on a piece of parchment paper, and press the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Drizzle the dough with oil. Lay the dough, oiled side down, on the grill and remove the parchment paper. Grill the dough until golden brown, toasted, and grill marks form on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the dough, brush with 1 tablespoon oil and top with half of the mozzarella. Cover with half of the zucchini and half of the goat cheese. Close the grill, checking and rotating as needed to avoid burning, until dough is lightly charred and cheese is melted, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer the pizza to a cutting board, top with half of the basil leaves, and half of the sun-dried tomatoes, and serve. Repeat to make a second pizza.

A new study out has figured out about 60% of the letters of DNA from three different Neanderthal bones. It is amazing how much a scientist can learn from a long extinct relative.
First off, it looks like there was some interbreeding between species at some point. By comparing human and Neanderthal DNA, scientists can tell that around 1-4% of European and Asian DNA came from Neanderthals. And it looks like Africans have no Neanderthal DNA at all.
This is just what might be expected if there was interbreeding because Neanderthals and Africans probably never met. All the evidence so far points to Neanderthals living in Europe and Asia and not in Africa. (source)
Racists have tended to depict Africans as more primitive than Europeans or Asians. However, when most of us think of primitive humans, Neanderthals come to mind. The latest theory on the demise of Neanderthals no longer has them being killed off by modern Man or dying off by an inability to compete. Rather, it looks like the moderns and Neanderthals interbred. They blended in, genetically speaking, with modern man.
Views: 788
I have no idea how racist gets into this but 1-4% does not indicate disappearance by interbreeding. That is way too low.
I was reading how that could happen...
It's a unique case because both species are from common ancestors. The idea that a man called jesus had some 300,000 year old DNA, thanks to Neanderthals is a bit ironic for the new earth idiots.
It never hurts to describe these things properly. It is ironic that Jesus had sponge DNA in him. We all do. Neanderthals are simply a different branch of the same hominids that we are. That they are pegged as having branched earlier does not make their DNA older.
When Neanderthal DNA was analyzed sequences unique to them were found. Turns out they were not unique but are found so some degree in some groups of us. The same is true of Denisovians. It does not indicated older. It is in us. It is as modern as we are.
The theory that Jesus had grandparents that copulated with Neanderthals is just so much more satisfying to me than the fact he shares many gene families with the kingdom of animals. In fact, the creationists made a big deal about the sponge genome study as some sort of lame attempt at disproving evolution.
You mean like David beat Goliath because David was a neanderthal.
The English were pretty barbaric through the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. I don't mean just the peasants, either. However, next door to them were the Scots and Irish who were every bit as backward and tribal as many an African tribe was (and certainly not all African tribes were backward: there were actual civilizations in Africa).
This is great, I watched the documentary a couple nights ago, it included several people in a class that had decided to do DAN testing to prove this point. The person with the most (3%) Neanderthal DNA was the most Aryan in appearance............couldn't help but laugh.
Aryans changed to Indo-Europeans after WWII meant the language group originated in the Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran region of the world. However a more recent study puts the origin of the language group in or around modern Macedonia.
It is not wise to take what WWII propaganda said about the idea of Aryan. It may be a fun joke to laugh at Herrnvolk but in the late 19th c. the English were openly talking about their natural fitness to rule the world. In hindsight which was the silliest?
Guess you just had to be there.
What I do believe is that there is no superior color of the human race. Humans are amazing creatures, we can also be some of the most ignorant.
I plan to continue being happy to be human and find humor (vs anger/annoyance) in our silliness and sometimes misguided misunderstandings of our place in the Universe.
I am still trying to figure that out. Neanderthals were a separate species and now we find not different enough to prevent interbreeding but still not a race. The simplest division of races are Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid and for some weird people Jewisoid.

Lesson 198
Parts of the Sentence - Objective Complement
An objective complement can be a noun or an adjective which follows the direct object renaming or modifying it. It is used with verbs like make, name, call, choose, elect, and appoint. It is not set off with commas as an appositive is. Example: I call my dog Badger.
A verb that has an objective complement in the active voice may in the passive voice have a predicate nominative or a predicate adjective. Examples: My dog is called Badger by me. I consider my dog smart. My dog is considered smart by me.
Instructions: Find the objective complements in the following sentences and tell whether they are nouns or adjectives.
1. NASA found the astronauts healthy and cheerful.
2. Special circumstances can make ordinary people heroes.
3. The group appointed the new member secretary.
4. We have always considered you capable of great things.
5. The minister pronounced the young couple man and wife.

Mary-Kate and Ashley often cast her in their tween hits like "How The West Was Fun" and "Our First Video." She attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, spent a semester studying in Russia at the Moscow Art Theatre School, and met her agent when she was an understudy on a Broadway play. By the time she graduated in 2011, she'd already appeared in several films including "Silent House" and "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding."

text: Harvest Prices and Insurance Payments October 15, 2012 01:42 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Large yield losses leads to higher harvest prices and larger payments By Gary Schnitkey, University of Illinois Courtesy of farmdocdaily Crop insurance harvest prices for corn and soybean in the Midwest are determined during October. Most farmers insured using either Revenue Protection (RP) or Group Risk Income Plan with the harvest revenue option (GRIP-HR), both of which have the guarantees based on the higher of the harvest or projected price. Harvest prices will be above the projected prices this year. Because of large yield losses this year, RP and GRIP-HR will make larger payments with higher harvest prices. Projected and likely harvest prices in 2012 Projected prices are based on settlement prices of Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) futures contracts during the month of February (December contract for corn and November contract for soybeans). This year, the projected price for corn is $5.68 per bushel for corn and $12.55 per bushel for soybeans. Harvest prices are based on settlement prices of CME contracts during October. As a result, harvest prices will not be known until the end of October. During the first week of October, CME prices on the December corn and November soybean contracts suggest that corn's harvest price will be about $7.50 and soybeans harvest price will be about $15.50. Both corn and soybeans harvest prices will be significantly above projected prices. Current prices suggest corn's harvest price will be 32% higher than the projected price (32% = $7.50 likely harvest price / $5.68 projected price - 1). A 32% increase in 2012 would be comparable to the increase that occurred in 1988, when the October average was 33% higher than the February average ($2.89 average in October compared to a $2.17 average in February). Another recent year with a large increase was 2010, when the $5.46 harvest price was 37% higher than the $3.99 projected price. Current price projections suggest that the 2012 harvest price for soybeans will be 24% higher than the 2012 projected price (24% = $15.50 likely harvest price / $12.55 projected price). The 2012 increase compares to the 23% increase that occurred in 1988. For soybeans, several years since 2000 have seen harvest prices above projected prices more than projected for 2012: 1) 2003 when the$7.32 harvest price was 39% higher than the $5.26 projected price and 2) 2010 when the $11.63 harvest prices was 26% higher than the $9.23 projected price. Insurance Payments in 2012 Many farmers will have yield losses that cause RP and GRIP-HR payments. Given yield losses and harvest prices above projected prices, higher insurance payments will occur with higher harvest prices. This is illustrated in Table 1, which shows payments for an 80% RP policy having a 185 bushel Trend-Adjusted Actual Production History yield. For an 120 bushel actual yield, the insurance payment will be $210 per acre for a $7.50 harvest price. The payment decreases to $196 per acre for a $7.00 harvest price and increases to $224 per acre for an $8.00 harvest price. Summary Due to yield losses caused by the drought, many farmers will receive large insurance payments if they purchased either RP or GRIP-HR at relatively high coverage levels. The size of these payments will be impacted by the harvest price. Increases in harvest prices in 2012 are comparable in percentage terms to increases in 1988, a year in which a severe drought also occurred. Back to news

Trouble came into our lives as a 12 week old pup. Full of piss and vinegar. She had a demanding spirit that would be with her forever. The young Trouble was different in a lot of ways than the Trouble you guys knew. Her first 15 months she could not be trusted. She had constant supervision. She ate every corner off every blanket and sheet we owned. She ate every tag out of every t-shirt she found on the floor. She chewed the wood furniture. She even ate a pair of steel toed shoes. If we were gone for even a few minutes, she was confined to the crate. And then one day, the light bulb came on and she was an acceptable member of the family. I'll not say she never again got into mischief after that, she did once get diet pills out of a purse and eat them, she did scavenge things off my night stand (never Bob's, always mine). We did all the things a responsible pet owner should do. We sent her to obedience school, and oh did she excel, but in her true spirit, while she knew all her commands, she often chose whether or not she would respond, especially as she aged. You could actually see her making the decision. "Is it worth it to ME, to do what she wants?"
We were diligent about socializing her. She loved people unconditionally. She always loved the vet – which ever one we were using, she was treated by five vets in her lifetime and she loved each one. She loved the kennel – in her younger days we never had a problem leaving her when we traveled. She was happy as a clam at the kennel, and would come home just absolutely exhausted from all the excitement. She would sleep for a couple of days. She loved for us to have company – everyone came just to see her, don't ya know!
As she aged, she demanded even more. She told us when to cook, she told us when to feed her, she told us when to go out. And it wasn't the 'please do what I want' kind of things. It was more the 'get up off your butt, and do it now' demands. She would NOT rest until you had done what SHE wanted. Ignoring her only made her more demanding. Did she have us well trained – no doubt.
I'll not dwell on the cancer, treatments, arthritis, or the end. You all knew that part of her life. I celebrate all the wonderful things in her life today, the cantankerous free spirit. We were so very blessed to have her with us for such a long time, especially after the cancer diagnosis. We are blessed to share her life with so many others along the way.
Today is the 28th anniversary of her amputation. In celebration, the 26th of each month is officially declared 'Green Bean Snack Day" in honor of the many green bean snacks Trouble consumed in her quest to keep that slim figure.
Happy ampuversary, sweetheart. You are now free.

Community, Music in Bolivia by Ellie Sherwood
I'll hold my hands up and admit it: I am a true believer in things happening for a reason. I do not believe that you have to simply sit back and let things happen; however, when something occurs that is unexpected or surprising, it is best to accept it and to acknowledge that it is, most probably, meant to be.
This ethos was what made me think positively and calmly about going to Bolivia for my Music placement, because in actual fact, I had originally planned to travel to Brazil with Projects Abroad. Unfortunately, this had to be changed about nine months before I was due to set off, and I had two choices: to go to Jamaica or Bolivia instead.
Funnily enough, I had never really heard anything about Bolivia before, and the only ideas I had about Jamaica involved Bob Marley and palm trees. So what made me choose Bolivia? In the end, the main focus of the Bolivian music project was what swayed me to travel there. With a large emphasis on music therapy, this particular project would enable me to simultaneously develop children from different background's musical skills and increase their self-confidence.
Music is unique in the way that anyone can experience it and benefit from it; therefore I knew that the Music project in Bolivia echoed my passion for making a positive difference via music.
My Expectations
Preparing for my trip to Bolivia made me incredibly excited. I frequently visited my 'My Projects Abroad' account, eagerly anticipating new information about the details of my placement. I also continuously read my 'Lonely Planet' copy of Bolivia, and tried to teach myself some Spanish, as my two years of learning the language when I was eleven years old had somehow been completely forgotten.
A rather large part of me could not quite believe that I was actually going to Bolivia for six weeks – even as my flight from London departed, it still did not feel completely real and I definitely did not know what to expect.
After an exhausting 36 hours of travelling, I stepped off the tiny aeroplane at Cochabamba airport and found myself entirely surrounded by mountains gleaming in the bright morning sunlight, and it was at this point where it hit me: I was here, in Bolivia, about to start one of my greatest adventures yet. And it truly was one of the best things I have ever done, and any expectations I had prior to my trip were blown away by what I experienced when I was there. The beauty of the country, the kindness of the people and those who I worked with were greater than I ever could have imagined.
My Host Mum
I felt incredibly lucky to have Edith as my host mum. She had retired from a senior position at a hotel in Cochabamba a few years before, and had a son and a grandson who lived in Sucre. After living with her for just a few days, I gathered the impression that she loved having volunteers to stay as she enjoyed having people to look after!
Edith really was the most welcoming women I have ever met: she made me feel at home instantly, and her no-fuss attitude made me completely comfortable in asking her anything. Having lived in Texas for ten years, she spoke very good English, which was extremely fortunate for me as I still only knew basic Spanish. I remember on the first day, however, when I heard her and my housemate Anne (an American volunteer) converse in completely fluent Spanish – I realised that I had to be speedy in improving my language skills, otherwise I might miss out on a lot of conversations!
One of the best things about living with Edith was her cooking, and I still miss it now. Anne and I were both up early for our work placements so we were left to help ourselves for breakfast, but at lunch time, Edith would cook the most wonderful meals: traditional picante mixto, stir fry, juicy chicken and classic spaghetti bolognaise were a handful of my favourites. Her best friend who lived a few blocks away made frequent visits and sometimes there was nothing nicer than eating amazing food whilst those two ladies giggled and joked away like teenagers.
My Music Placement
Every morning, from Monday to Friday, I worked at The Manuella E.Gandarillas Rehabilitation Centre for the Blind. The centre is open to serving visually impaired individuals from all sixteen provinces in Cochabamba, and it had a mixture of permanent residents and people who visit for the day.
At first, I found it really challenging due to my lack of Spanish; however, music in itself has the great power to communicate with everyone, and therefore I found that by playing and teaching the instruments, I could still interact with the students. In addition, my Spanish did improve throughout my time in Bolivia, which definitely helped!
The people I worked with were the most inspiring and heart-warming characters; I used to leave Manuella every day feeling grateful for leading the life that I have. The ages of people who attended the centre ranged from about seven years old to middle-aged adults. The boys loved to play guitars and charangos, and the girls always wanted to sing and play piano – they particularly enjoyed it when I taught them Western pop songs like One Direction!
We also did recorder sessions in groups, and individual piano lessons. The music professor was also blind, and he was one of the most musical people I have ever encountered. Together, we would sing with the pupils and play different instruments, and one time we took them outside the centre to play in an informal concert nearby.
Working and interacting with blind people was something I had never done before. They were all so funny, hard-working and good-natured people: I remember them finding it hilarious if someone fell into something (or someone), which happened quite regularly! They would instantly recognise each other by their voices, or by the touch of their arm, and the general atmosphere or the centre was good-humoured, cheerful and productive.
There was another volunteer from Belgium who helped out in the lessons, and one of my favourite memories was when we took part in their sports afternoon where we played blind football – a scary yet very entertaining experience!
Travelling around Bolivia
I believe all the other volunteers at Projects Abroad, were of the opinion that if we work hard, we could also play hard. Therefore, during evenings and at weekends, we would really make the most of being in Bolivia. I think we must have explored most of the restaurants and bars in the Cochabamba area during the week, and I didn't meet a single volunteer who hadn't, or wasn't planning to, visit the Uyuni Salt Flats or Lake Titicaca.
Our weekends away were brilliant, and always involved coach journeys, plenty of snacks and little sleep. I visited some of the most beautiful places in the world, and I will never forget watching sunrise over the mountains in Uyuni, or climbing hills in Copacabana. Those trips also helped all the volunteers bond and I feel like I have made some extremely good friends from all over the globe. An added benefit to this is that, if I'm ever travelling again, I have plenty of people to stay with in America and Europe!
Going home was one of the saddest days. I remember sitting at the airport, so tired from going out the night before, and crying wishing that I could stay a bit longer, even if I did know that my university would have not been happy if I told them I was going to be late starting term!
However, not a day goes past now when I don't think of my experience in Bolivia. When I teach music in England, or I'm playing the piano, or I look at photos of my trip, I think back to the people I worked with at Manuella, and of Edith and the volunteers, and of all the stunning places I visited, and feel incredibly lucky to have experienced what I did.
