Hug them even if they can't hug you back.
A New Author – I am very proud to introduce a new author, Karen. She is an Army Mom (hooah) a medical researcher,data analyst and has been very active in the FRGs for her son's units. One son is deployed, one has been injured and is going through that particular hell called Medical Boards. She's also a very proud Grandma.
Welcome to ParentsZone, Karen. We are happy to have you here.
My first post…to this blog was going to be scientific with statistics and research data. After all, I am a medical researcher, data analyst, I manage information; constantly seek answers, always curious. This afternoon however, I had a conversation with a mom whose son has TBI and PTSD…and orders to deploy again. Perhaps then, you will indulge my speaking from the heart instead of from 'my brain'. I guarantee enough of that will be forthcoming.
There is nothing more heartbreaking than to look into your child's eyes and feel compelled to ask"what have those eyes seen?" And the eyes, well what you see is 'dead air'. The definition of "Dead air" is "unintended interruption in a broadcast during which the carrier signal is unmodulated-no sound on a radio signal or a black screen on a television signal."
I've asked my son this very question. I imagine many of you have either asked or wanted to ask your son, husband, sister, brother, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend; Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, National Guard, Reservists…
After my son's first tour of duty to Iraq, his wife (my daughter-in-law) asked him to tell her "what it was like over there." His reply was it would be very difficult for her to understand because she had no context in which to do so.
Prior to March while researching and preparing materials for my web site Military Health Matters Resource Center for "Brain Injury Awareness Month" I came upon a set of presentation/video packages designed to train senior NCOs and Officers on the proper identification of TBI, mTBI and PTSD and correct redeployment protocols. We've all seen films or documentaries of the wars, videos of IED explosions, combat support hospital operations, or the like but none of these have ever come as close to making the kind of impression these did. They were vignettes or scenarios with real people and real situations. Agonizing to watch but impossible to turn away from; invoking the very same feelings you may experience while watching a horror movie that never seems to end. Only this isn't a movie…but it is absolute horror. I am writing an article on PTSD and TBI that I am subtitling: "the living hell within". That would be an understatement.
I was very encouraged to hear Secretary Gate's 2010 budget proposals this week in particular the priority of investment in 'human' capital – our kids and loved ones. More on this next time… as soon as my brain returns.
Hug them even if they can't hug you back.
Proud 82nd ABN Mom

All you privileged men who just don't get this. At one time you wouldn't give us the vote. Forget about working or an Olympic sport. Women just can't play tennis so they don't deserve the same pay as men. Women are stupid and don't have the same brain capacity as men. Women should not be doing any job which is traditionally held by men. Women are the weaker sex. They can't manage the same job as men. Women won't be hired because one day they will get married and have children. Hollywood is perhaps one of the most old fashioned industries in the world. It does not reflect the lives of women. Stories about men, by men, fantasies by men of women who are beautiful, just wives or girlfriends and certainly not doing the same job as men. Hollywood promotes fantasy while living in a fantasy world where women are second. And Hollywood, time and time again, promotes the lie that no one is interested in a female POV. Men – you don't know how privileged you are. I hear of so many amazing stories about strong women over the past decades – true stories about real girls and women – the courage, the tenacity, the power – yet these stories don't get made because you carry on the propaganda that says that men are the heroes – Batman, Superman, Spiderman – and girls and women are the pretty, plain, mother or whore. Look around where you work and where you live. Do you see weak women? Are your sisters, mothers, girlfriends, wives, women friends – all just weak little sexual things who just want to get married and can't do anything without a man? We fight, we are heroes, we travel the world, we create – we are real. We want our stories. We want them, not for selfish Hollywood reason to make $$$$, but to show girls and women out there that life doesn't belong to men. Men are part of it and are amazing, no one is disputing that, what we are fighting for is our stories to be told. How can 52% of the population be treated like 3% of the population? The reason why black actors and filmmakers couldn't get on the industry was because of racism. Everyone agrees with that. Now men don't see that with women that the only reason we don't have more than two female directors at Cannes is down to sexism and not, as is often stated by idiot men, that we just aren't good enough – we don't have the balls to be a director. There was a time when women were not allowed to run a marathon. 2014 – and nothing has changed.

Day baseball
In case you forgot, today is a day game in Cincinnati so tune in now to PRIME Ticket or KABC while you're in the office or hanging out on a summer morning.
After the game, the team flies to Boston, of all places, where everyone will surely have their eyes on Game 7 of the NBA Finals. We all wish the Lakers luck tonight in the finale and hopefully Los Angeles will have another championship by night's end. If not, we'll be stuck watching the parade on Saturday in Beantown.

So sorry Furcal was placed on the bereavement list. Hu will join team later and fly with them to Boston.
Now, let's go Dodgers!!!!
Hi Everybody
Well we had a great time yesterday, Truebluewill and I meeting up with Fan Since 53 and his daughter Fan Since 85
from L.A. and we'll meet up with them again on Saturday in Boston.
We got to try to sweep the Reds today.
Good morning everybody! Glad to see our boys going for a sweep today! This weekend should be very interesting with Manny and his return to Boston. I just hope we can show our stuff off in the AL East!
OldBrooklyn…have fun at the games!
Alright Ely! Way to draw first blood!
I suspected that Manny, perhaps others would get the day off, but having furcal gone more than one game, ouch! although I am a carroll fan! So it seems Ely will do his best to win this game, nice hitting, now keep the good pitching going. This team is beginning to develop a character, already established that they can put some runs up, so even if trailing in the 8th or 9th it isn't over, But lately with the DL issues, the bench has become a good part of the team, yes even Garrett contributed, to become like the stunt men of the 88 team, add the pitching that has come together, improved defense and some good mojo from the bounce of the ball or an ump's call. Go Dodgers!
Oh My I guess their pitcher wants to winn also! Yuck!
I'm listening to Rick and Charlie as I don't have any MLB.TV. yet.
I can't believe he walk Miller.
the last pitcher to hit a 3-run HR against the Dodgers was Billy Swift of the Rockies, on May 7, 1995
by Eric Stephen on Jun 17, 2010 10:16 AM PDT reply actions
Manny hit a grand slam!? Ha shades of his bobblehead night last season. What I don't understand is JT putting him up in that situation, it would not win the game. To think Bils would have been pitching this game. Well glad this is over taking 2 of 3 from a Hot team is great. I really hope kemp can get his bat in order, I'll take this game as an abbreration, we really aren't that bad.
This is funny my post is on real time at 1203 above , weird
I can not believe Dodgers forgot to show up to the game today. Maybe it was too early. Well off to BOSTON.
Prayers go out to the Furcal family. Hopefully Raffy comes back soon!
I guess we are suffering a little Redleg payback today. Disappointing day for Mr. Ely but isn't this the third start in a row where he has not had the magic of his first few starts? I do hope this is only a temporary setback for him and not indicative of what is to come. He certainly was a breath of fresh air for an embattled pitching staff, at least until now.
I will be checking the score using the internet. NO tv's in our office. Should be a fun game today. I have a French Lady co-worker that is talking madness and most of us are Mexican here.LOL! All the Engineers are taking a 2 hour lunch and going to a pub. The architects called it off. And it is just the French lady, my boss (German) and myself left in the office.
lol Corky Miller 2 for 2 yeah right.
I don't know is this will come out.
I've been locked out of IDT for a while
Thamks ~msdodgersrule.
MLB.TV is back, for me.
Good morning ITD.
I saw that stat from Eric. also he said the last three mania pitchers have given up 3-run HR to pitchers. Fernando, Nomo and now Ely. Hey! Mike Brito is still with the Dodgers. I see him at the stadium with his guayabera shirts.
Is unfortunate that we will not have Raffy for a few games just when he was hitting well. I know those bearevements trips back home are tough but most likely he is traveling with his brother who is always with him.
I am excited about the trip to Boston. I'll be at the airport watching the end of the LAker game!
Go Lakers
Go Dodgers.
I know fan since 53! He is the one that is in the Bluetopia movie, right?
I don't have my tickets with me, but I'll let you know tomorrow where we will be. Maybe we can have another group pic on Saturday.
Hi Rosie,
So you will be watching the soccer game? Just a few days before the World Cup, they setup two tvs in the cafeteria and installed a satelite dish. I imagine the caft will be packed at lunchtime. I take a Pilates class at noon Mon, Tues and Thurs at work. I'll stop afterwards to see how the game is going.
Oh ok glad someone reply to that Mike Brito.
Stop the press Sherrill with a 1 2 3 innings
lol even though that was about 5 min early
Urgh why couldn't Manny hit a GS? That would've been nice after hitting 2 homeruns in back to back games.
Well I guess it's time to prepare for the Boston trip.
Like a homecoming for Manny.
On June 21, 1988 the Dodgers beat the Braves 2-1 at Dodger Stadium. The attendance was only 18,485, as LA fans were more enamored with the goings on in Inglewood that night.
by Eric Stephen on Jun 17, 2010 11:25 AM PDT reply actions
I love reading TBLA and we all know what's happen that night.
Today's game was a big dud for the Dodgers. The media is sure making a big deal out of this weekend's games in Boston and will do the same thing when the Yankees come to Dodger Stadium. These two series are intriguing because even though any wins or losses count the same as any other games the Dodgers play, all the attention puts more pressure on the team to do well. I am not sure if the players actually feel more pressure but they cannot be immune to all the excitement and anticipation. So perhaps today was just one of those days where the early mid week start impacted the energy level and we will see a better effort in Boston.
knouff, not sure what it is. He had great control in those first few starts and seemed to keep the hitter off balance. Of course, no one knew what to expect from him but maybe now teams have scouted him a bit. Hopefully he can make the adjustments necessary. Today the home run bug bit him good including a three run shot by the opposing pitcher. Ely did drive in the only Dodger run today so go figure.
Geez Jimenez goes to 13-1, lowers ERA to 1.15.
I cannot see or hear the games, so I really don't know what is going on with Ely. Is he just missing his spots or going away from what we was successful with? Or has the league already figured him out? Like what happened to Bo Belinsky. Does anyone have an opinion?
See Frank………….The Laker fans are really happy right now. Why? ………………because their team just won the NBA Championship!!
That's what Dodger fans want Frank!! We want the whole thing Frank!!! We want and deserve a shot at the ring!!! We want a Dodger Blue and Wedding Gown White parade Frank!!
I don't think Frank can read your post, Nelly. He's probably still soaking up the tears with his Kleenex after the Celtics lost game 7.
That is, unless he magically thought the Lakers have the best fans in all of basketball after moving to LA from Boston in 2004.
Ahh, Game 7. It was the best of games, it was the worst of games…
I can't believe how flat the Lakers came out at the start and we still won. Mitch is such a good GM take notes McCourt.
I think Manny is luck for the Lakers. Did anyone see that interview with Artest? Artest look like he was drunk.
Good Morning All,
Oh man I'm sure our boys in blue are NOT very welcomed in Boston right now. I'm glad the Lakers kick the Celtics butt. But the only part that sucks about his victory is that Frank probably had his money on the Celtics…so there goes our chances in the Dodgers getting a great pitcher….again.
A Laker fan was sporting a t-shirt that read: " L.A. CAN'T BE BEAT BY BOSTON".
Good afternoon everyone……………….
Only thing, I really have to say is………………….
Howzit Goin' Everybody.
Well the Dodgers are in Beantown.
I'll be there tomorrow, with TBW.
Let's hope we all meet up, those of us who are going.
We'll be Sec 36 Row 12 Seats 19 & 20.
GO Monasterios GO DODGERS!!! GO MANNY!!!!!
Good afternoon all! Will be watching the game, but probably not on here too much as my wife will be using my computer. I hope you all have a great game!
Asking a lot from Monestarios today but he is earning a big league paycheck and has to show he belongs. Two familiar faces in the Boston lineup with Beltre and J.D. Drew. Funny, I have good memories of Beltre's last year as a Dodger but other than being a part of the back to back to back to back home run parade, almost no good memories of Drew.
Well at least Manny didn't strike out.
Way to settle down Carlos!

LS Cable started bus duct operations through technical collaboration in 1984 and has supplied bus ducts to various places such as plants, buildings, apartments, large shopping centers, offices, R&D centers, department stores, golf courses, tunnels, semiconductor plants, LCD plants, petro-chemistry, iron manufacturing, IDC buildings, super-high substations of 765 KV, LNG bases, new airports, and harbors. What are LS Cable Bus Ducts?
Bus ducts are similar to cables in that both have conductors and isolators. The greatest advantage of bus ducts is that they can transmit a great amount of electric energy to a conductor of the same volume. Either vinyl or rubber is used for these cables to protect or insulate conductors. Since the isolator cannot protect the bus ducts directly, metal ducts are used to protect and maintain the form of the conductors and isolator. Bus ducts, which have been commercialized since the 20th century, are coming increasingly popular since their merits in high capacity electric systems are emphasized. The electric systems of recently-constructed buildings require a great amount of various types of energy compared to the older buildings. In line with these trends, bus ducts can be installed along with contemporary buildings for the best unity. Their merits include safety and minimum energy loss, among others.
Characteristics and Merits
Large volume of energy transmission - Lower voltage - Easy load bifurcation and simple cabling structure - Easy construction due to a one-bolt structure - High capacity cabling, small occupation area, and cost-efficiency - Strong short-circuit - Easy to handle accidents - Good heat-resistance - Easy management due to a simple system - Nice exterior - Expansion, removal, and installation enabled. Ez-way BUSDUCT
1. Using AL cubicle housing, lightweight product is produced
2. Designed as a cubicle structure that effectively emits heat, a compact-sized product is produced.
3. With KIT method connecting structure joint parts, product is easily installed in a short time. If the temperature sensor system using optical fiber is applied (optional), the temperature for all BUSDUCT line can be monitored to prevent fire and other emergencies in advance.

Lonegan fires aide over remarks
The GOP rival of poll-leading Democratic New Jersey Senate nominee Cory Booker fired his top strategist Friday, after the aide gave an expletive-laced interview in which he questioned the Newark mayor's sexuality.
Republican Steve Lonegan canned aide Rick Shaftan after comments he made to Talking Points Memo.
Referring to a stripper at a vegan strip club with whom Booker exchanged Twitter direct messages, Shaftan said, "It was just weird. I mean, to me, you know, hey, if he said, 'Hey, you got really hot breasts man, I'd love to suck on them.' Then like, yeah, cool. But like, he didn't say that," Shaftan explained.
( QUIZ: Do you know Cory Booker?)
"It was like kind of like, I don't know, it was like what a gay guy would say to a stripper. It's the way he was talking to her. It's just like like there was no sexual interest at all. I don't know. To me, if I was single and you know like some stripper was tweeting me, I might take advantage of the perks of the office, you know?"
They were among the more G-rated of Shaftan's remarks.
In a statement, Lonegan said, "Mr. Shaftan's comments are not reflective of my views or that of my campaign. His comments are distasteful and offensive, and his contract as a vendor for my campaign will be terminated immediately."
The campaign has less than a week left, with the special election to replace the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg taking place on Wednesday.

Neonatal Lupus
Research Registry for Neonatal Lupus
Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, NY
Principal Investigator: Dr. Jill P. Buyon
Given the rarity of this fetal and neonatal disease, which most commonly involves the heart and skin, a central repository of patient information, sera, and DNA was established. The registry provides material for research on the causes of this disease. It is hoped that the registry will facilitate the development of improved methods of diagnosis, as well as prevention and treatment. Information from the registry forms the basis of family counseling and tracks important data such as recurrence rates in subsequent pregnancies. Investigators interested in obtaining information or patient materials for basic or clinical research are encouraged to submit a brief protocol to the registry.

Postcards From Hell: Nazi-era documents shed light on fate of families (Jewish Journal)
Postcards From Hell: Nazi-era documents shed light on fate of families
By Tom Tugend
After arriving by cattle car at Auschwitz, many Jews were handed postcards, with the uniform message thoughtfully prepared by the Nazis.
"Things are going well and we are enjoying ourselves," the prisoner wrote. They added their signatures and the addresses of relatives still in ghettos or labor camps, thus lulling the others into the belief that they had nothing to fear when their turn for deportation to the east arrived.
The Germans dubbed this diabolical deception "Operation Briefkarte" (Operation Postcard), and some of the original correspondence is included in a rare collection throwing new light on the paper trail of the Holocaust bureaucracy.
Designated as the Edward Victor Philatelic Holocaust Collection, consisting of some 2,000 stamps, letters, ID cards, visas, currency receipts and other assorted documents of the Nazi era, it was recently donated by Victor to the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust (LAMOTH).
Valued at $260,000, the collection was painstakingly acquired and organized by Victor, a retired Los Angeles lawyer, over a 30-year period. In many cases, the content tracks the fate of a given Jewish family from the very beginning of the Nazi regime in 1933 to its demise in 1945.
A prime example is the Lachmann family of Munich, comprising father Julius, mother Meta and son Hans.
Included, for instance, are the father's birth certificate, his award of the Iron Cross while fighting for Germany in World War I, and documents certifying completion of Talmud Torah and cantorial studies, and release from Nazi imprisonment in 1939.
Later, there are pathetic letters begging for a job offer and visa to work in the United States, and finally a 1949 notice from the International Tracing Service, reporting that Julius and Meta Lachmann were deported to the Riga ghetto, where hardly anyone survived.
Their son Hans was able to get to America in 1939, taking along the family's early documents and preserving the later correspondence.
Victor also pointed out that concentration camp inmates could correspond with outside relatives, though under precise restrictions, such as no more than two letters incoming and outgoing per month.
For instance, regulations at Dachau specified that letters by prisoners "must be legible … and there may only be 15 lines per side," adding that "[R]elease requests from 'protective custody' to the camp management are useless."
E. Randol Schoenberg, president of LAMOTH, commented that the Victor collection represents written and photo information on an "enormous swath" of hundreds of concentration and labor camps, subcamps and ghettos throughout Europe, as well as refugee internment camps in Britain, Switzerland and Canada.
In addition, Schoenberg said, the new material "fills holes and adds spice" to the museum's existing exhibits and archives, while representing "the first non-monetary donation" since the opening of the new museum in October 2010.
Mark A. Rothman, the museum's executive director, evaluated the new documentation as "drilling down to specific, minute details while framing how the events of the Holocaust happened. … I hope that after seeing the collection, visitors will have a better sense of everyone's personal responsibility in preventing future Holocausts."
Vladimir Melamed, director of archives and library, said that the current archives at LAMOTH are categorized both by themes and time lines. "About 99 percent of all our holdings are digitalized and accessible through on-site computers at the museum," Melamed said.
Some material is available on home computers through the museum's Web site.
Victor got the stamp-collecting bug as a youngster, initially concentrating on stamps from Palestine during the Turkish and British administrations, and after 1948 from Israel.
As he grew older, he started reading about the Holocaust, and "eventually I merged my philatelic and Holocaust interests," he said.
Victor soon discovered that there were many people, particularly in Europe, who shared his combined interests, and he became a regular at auctions, including the largest one held in Switzerland five years ago.
"It is not just Jews who are interested in this field, but many Germans and other Europeans, and one of the largest collections is at the Cardinal Spellman Museum of Stamps and Postal History in Weston, Mass.," he said.
LAMOTH's roots go back to 1961, when a group of survivors pooled their personal mementos and artifacts to start the museum collection. "We were the first Holocaust museum, following Yad Vashem, " Schoenberg noted.
In its new, modern facility in Pan Pacific Park, the museum welcomed some 30,000 visitors, including many public school students, in its first year, he said.
During a quick tour of the museum's 15,000 items, Schoenberg pointed out collections of oral history interviews, Los Angeles newspaper headlines from 1933 on, a photo gallery of top Nazis, and videos of ghettos and concentration camps. There are also cartoons drawn by Theresienstadt inmates, photos of displaced persons camps, resistance and recue attempts, Holocaust music and musicians, and, domestically, the internment of Japanese-Americans.
Outdoor boards with 1.2 million holes, where visitors can place notes, commemorate the children murdered in the Holocaust.
"There are still so many aspects of the Holocaust which are practically unknown," Schoenberg said. "Who has heard of the Maly Trostenets extermination camp near Minsk? Yet, 65,000 Jews were murdered there."

Malaysia is a mix of the modern world and a developing nation. With its investment in the high technology industries and moderate oil wealth, it has become a rich nation in Southeast Asia. It is really very beautiful place in the world...
Really Malaysia is so beautiful place in the world, I want to go Malaysia so can you tell me How much cost will be to Malaysia travel tour?
I found Singapore and Thailand are much better places to visit than Malaysia. Apart from Kuala Lumpur, there is not much tourist spots in this country
To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia - a gurgling, clamoring mixture of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and numerous other ethnic gatherings live respectively in peace and amicability. Our multiculturalism has made Malaysia a gastronomical heaven and home to many vivid celebrations. It's no big surprise that we adore celebrating and mingling. As a people, Malaysians are extremely casual, warm and inviting.
Topographically, Malaysia is practically as various as its way of life. 11 states and 2 government regions (Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya) shape Peninsular Malaysia which is isolated by the South China Sea from East Malaysia which incorporates the 2 states (Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo) and a third elected region, the island of Labuan.
One of Malaysia's key attractions is its outrageous differences which additionally add to this subject of 'assorted qualities'. Towering high rises look downward on wooden houses based on stilts while five-star inns sit just meters far from old reefs.
Tough mountains reach drastically for the sky while their rainforest-clad slants clear down to floodplains overflowing with woodland life. Chill good country hideaways move off to warm, sandy shorelines and rich, sticky mangroves.
For the ideal occasion loaded with shocks, now is the ideal time, the place is Malaysia.

Bind off remaining stitches. Cut yarn.
Pick up 24 stitches from stitch holder, and work the pattern from row 25, reattaching yarn and reversing all shaping. Note: Beginning the second section with a knit (right-side) row, the shaping that involved binding off stitches on the wrong side (rows 26, 30, 62) in the first section will now change to purl 2 together for each bind-off stitch called for in the pattern as you will not be able to bind off at the end of a purl row without cutting the yarn. For example, row 62 will now begin and end with purl 2 together.
Press both pieces using plenty of steam to gently block into shape, smoothing edges to form even curves. Do not stretch the knitting. Pin together with wrong sides facing, matching all edges. With yarn A threaded on tapestry needle, use mattress stitch to sew the pieces together around the edges, leaving an opening at the head or tail for the filling. Stuff the pillow as evenly as possible; do not overstuff. Stitch opening shut, tie yarn tail into knot, and weave in ends to inside of pillow.
Adding Features
Note: Stitch the details into the face using photo as your guide. Knot the tails firmly, pulling loose ends deep into the pillow.
Make the stripe: With yarn C, cast 3 stitches onto 1 double-point needle and make a simple I-cord about 1 yard (91.5m) long. To ensure cord is long enough, wrap it around the pillow in a spiral from head to tail. Unwrap. Bind off I-cord and cut yarn. Pin one end of cord to the underside of the pillow, about 3" (7.5cm) from the tail end. Rewrap cord around worm, ending on the underside about 3" (7.5cm) from head end, and pin it into place. Hide end of cord underneath spiral. Using yarn C threaded onto tapestry needle, stitch cord into place along entire length to secure it to the pillow, adding a backstitch every few stitches. Hide all stitches underneath the cord, with yarn tails knotted firmly and pulled deep into the body of the pillow.
Make the antennae: Cut 6 pieces of yarn A each about 8" (20.5cm) in length. Thread 3 pieces onto tapestry needle and draw yarn halfway through a stitch where the first antenna will be. Remove needle, leaving yarn pulled halfway through stitches. With about 4" (10cm) on both sides, braid the yarn. Finish by knotting strands together firmly. Trim yarn tails to desired length. Repeat with the remaining 3 pieces of yarn for the other antenna.
Make the eyes: Thread 24" (61cm) yarn B onto tapestry needle, pull ends together and tie in overhand knot to create a 12" (30.5cm) double strand. Pull yarn through a stitch about 1" (2.5cm) below first antenna, and thread needle between strands at knot. Pull yarn gently to anchor, and push knot behind stitches. Make eye using a satin stitch, going across 3 knit rows. Make 3 or 4 stitches next to each other, creating an oval for the eye. Run needle up through the back of the stitches made, and push the needle deep into the stuffing of the head and across to where you will make the other eye. Repeat instructions to make second eye. After you've run the needle up through the back of the stitches just made, cut yarn at needle. Knot ends, rethread needle with yarn ends, and pull yarn and knot through stitches to hide inside body. Remove needle.
Make the nose: Make a 11/2" pom-pom. Thread tapestry needle with yarn tails, draw through 3 stitches at the position desired, and pull the nose into place. Draw the needle through the pillow a few times more to firmly anchor nose to face; knot yarn securely. Hide knot behind nose. If you don't want to make a pom-pom for the nose, stitch a nose following the steps for making the eyes.
Our next pattern is quick, easy, and cozy -- keep reading for our hooded jacket and booties pattern.

A Sandwich a Day: The Vietnamese Banh Mi at MC Restaurant & Lounge
Reviews of Chicago sandwiches.
The first time I went to MC Restaurant & Lounge, it didn't go so well. They were out of half of their smoothie flavors, and for some reason, couldn't make the lemongrass chicken. The egg noodles on the stir-fry I got stuck with tasted more like white-flour spaghetti noodles. I had written this place off until I started hearing murmurs that they had a really good Vietnamese Meatball Bánh Mì Sandwich ($5.95, or $6.99 at lunch with a free beer). After passing MC en route to and from my house everyday, their sign constantly blaring the "$6.99 Banh Mi lunch special" in scrolling red letters in my line of sight even when I tried not to look, I decided to cave and give it another go. I am glad I did.
I can't speak for every dish on the menu at MC, but Meatball Bánh Mì Sandwich is something that MC Restaurant & Lounge should be proud to call a staple. The bread comes toasted with a nice crunch that leaves crumbs on your lips. Garlic, sesame oil and and soy sauce are infused into the Vietnamese meatballs, which are also garnished with fresh, chopped cilantro. It's finished with "house pickles" and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Diners that opt for the $6.99 Banh Mi and beer lunch special will be happily surprised to see how well this sandwich goes with a cold Saigon or Tsingtao.

As today is the 40th anniversary of Women's Equality Day, it is an appropriate moment to consider the continuing inequalities women face. As a scholar of popular culture that tracks the way culture grapples with changing conceptions of gender and sexuality, I am struck by the profound difference between Bella Abzug, staunch supporter of women's rights, and today's most popular Bella, Bella Swan.
The November release of Breaking Dawn: Part 1, the first half of the two-part film adaptation of the final book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga, will include the much anticipated wedding and honeymoon of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.
Fans, given previous reactions to leaked photos of the vampire-human honeymoon scenes, will likely clamor for these racier scenarios. Parents, depending on their views of appropriate sexuality and relationship ideals, will be variously delighted by the "happy ending" in marriage or dismayed by the film's sexualized content. Traditional vampire aficionados will scoff at the idea that the lead vampire, Edward, Mr. Sparkly Pants himself, is able to impregnate a human, something that goes against typical vampire lore. But I, as a women's studies professor, will be viewing the film with an eye to how it romanticizes sexual violence.
From where I sit, Twilight wrestles with gender norms, abstinence imperatives, and that age-old message foisted upon females: true love conquers all. No Buffy the Vampire Slayer nor her contemporary descendent, Sookie Stackhouse, the saga's female protagonist is instead a rather weak damsel in distress, traipsing after the two leading men, one a domineering vampire, the other a prone-to-violence werewolf.
Though the bruised body of post-coitus Bella in the opening sections of the Breaking Dawn should concern anyone who cares about violence against women, in all likelihood, what instead will interest viewers is Bella's "morning after" body, which, after a night of Edward's headboard busting and pillow biting, will be covered in bruises and feathers – a sort of modern day, sexed-up take on being tarred and feathered. But Bella's battered body, like the bodies of so many women, will likely be largely forgotten in between frames.
Yet the saga, and this segment in particular, begs the question: "Is sexualized violence acceptable?"
Why don't images of battered women give us more pause, especially on a day like today – Women's Equality Day.
Bella shares her first name with the initiator of today's 40-year old holiday, Bella Abzug. But any similarity stops there. The one Bella was famous for her hats and her saying "This woman's place is in the House—the House of Representatives," the other for her clumsiness, and for promoting the idea that a woman's place is in the domestic home (whether she be cooking for her father – as in the first three books – or bedding her beloved vampire husband – as in the last).
Sure, Meyer's Bella gets a super-power at the end, but it is the power to cocoon others in a protective mind shield – a sort of virtual womb space. Yes, you got it: she is allowed the power to mother.
While the Twilight saga has hints of female power– a Wall-Street savvy female vampire and a smattering of female vampire leaders, the overwhelming undercurrent of romance, sexual violence, and female subordination – as well as the "happy" ending of Bella as wed, bed, and bruised – suggests the best path for us women is not the road to equality but true love, a myth as enduring as vampires.
To be sure, the film is hardly the only one to render females as the second sex and proffer such depictions of violence sex as proof that true love is in the air. But, given the rabid popularity of the saga, and the highly anticipated depiction of the sex scenes, we should take a human moment and consider what the other Bella – Bella Abzug– would make of Bella Swan's treatment in the film. Is the type of equality we seek that in which we can choose to romanticize hot, abusive vampire sex?
I, for one, think we'd be better off wearing a crazy hat and insisting, as did Abzug's resolution, that women not be treated as second-class-citizens, in life or in film. From the onslaught against reproductive freedoms to the rape-blaming that frames women as at fault for the violence done to them, evidence that Women's Equality Day is here in name only abounds, and not only in headlines, but also in representations of domestic violence in the pages of the rabidly popular Twilight saga and its film adaptations.
Though it's been ninety-one years to the day since Congress ratified women's right to vote, women's place in the House of Representatives is still far from equal. And, more pervasively, a woman's body is still not her own.

Editing Django templates with Emacs
This page lists some helpers to edit django templates with the Emacs editor.
I've started hacking on an editing mode for Django templates in Emacs. (Please note that this is the first time I ever do Emacs Lisp, and that what I currently have is nothing more than a start. If you can come up with fixes or improvements, these are much appreciated).
The most obvious benefit that it provides at the moment is syntax highlighting of variables and blocks.
It knows about the Django default tag names and uses a different coloring for comments. At the moment it is configured to automatically kick-in for files with extension
.djhtml (I made it up that way, in order not to clash with other defaults one may have with .html files). Of course you can invoke it with
M-x django-mode in any buffer.
You can get it here: http://unicoders.org/code/hacks/trunk/django-mode.el
Put it somewhere where Emacs can find it then add this line to your
.emacs file:
(load "django-mode.el")
This is a sample screenshot of the results with the "Charcoal Black" color theme:
There is another emacs django templete mode. It is derived mode from html(sgml).
- Elisp Code(.html) http://tsgates.cafe24.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/django-html-mode1.html
- Download(.el) http://tsgates.cafe24.com/elisp/django-html-mode.el
- Example(.html) http://tsgates.cafe24.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/django-html-mode-ex.html
Improved version
There is an updated and improved version of this mode on: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~eopadoan/+junk/django-html-mode
- Updated the supported tags to current (django 1.0b3).
- Added auto-close command (
C-c ]).
To get, run on a shell:
bzr branch lp:~eopadoan/+junk/django-html-mode
MUltiple MAjor MOde is an experimental extension for Emacs that allows one buffer to use multiple modes for different stretches of text. It's bundled with nXhtml, and now includes a basic django-html-mumamo-mode for django templates.
If you are using Yasnippet, you can get the django-mode with many useful snippets. To get, run on a shell:
bzr branch lp:django-mode
And append something like that:
(load "~/Dropbox/django-mode/django-mode.el") (yas/load-directory "~/Dropbox/django-mode/snippets")
to your .emacs.

A Connecticut woman found a venomous eight-legged surprise in her bag of grapes on Monday — but she still insists she will stick to buying only organic produce.
According to News 12, Nora Weiss purchased a bag of Sunview Organic Table Grapes from a Whole Foods store in Fairfield, Conn. When she took the grapes out of the bag to wash them, she discovered a black widow spider lurking in the bag. The spider was still alive.
U.S. & World
Whole Foods issued a statement saying that the claim could be true since no pesticides are used on organic produce. The store also offered Weiss a refund or replacement.
Widow spiders are considered the most venomous spiders in North America. According to National Geographic, a black widow bite can cause muscle aches, nausea and paralysis of the diaphragm, making it difficult to breath.
Human fatalities from black widow bites are fairly rare.

NHL Game Night: 12-15-13 Lightning at Red Wings
Lightning flip the script in Detroit.
Ben Bishop stopped all 28 shots he faced to get the shutout. That there was some more U of Maine Justice!
First Period
Second Period
Third Period
3:13 TB Johnson (8), (St Louis, Palat)
9:16 TB Brown (2), (Thompson)
18:45 TB Killorn (7), (Filppula, Brewer)(EN)
Bishop and Tyler Johnson were the game's first and second stars. In many ways, this was a reversal of the game last night in New Jersey. The Lightning were very patient, got their key saves from Bishop, got their greasy goal, and ended up riding the snowball to a 3-0 win. That's good road hockey, to be certain.
Remember when, going into this season, everyone was saying Detroit was going to eat our lunch in this new division? The Lightning improve to 3-0-0 against Detroit so far this year.
Radko Gudas was +1 with 2 shots, 3 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 23:56. Add Johan Franzen to his list of victims. He hit Franzen and knocked him out of the game in the Second Period. Gudas doesn't care what your resume says you are, to him you're just another target. I think he really sets the tone for the rest of the youngsters on this team. He's not intimidated by the league, and they shouldn't be either.
Mark Barberio was +1 with 2 blocked shots in 9:23. His harrowing moment of the night was when he got stripped by Pavel Datsyuk trying to carry the puck out from behind his net in the Second Period. Like taking candy from a small child.
Johnson had a goal and was +2 with 4 penalty minutes, 3 shots, and he was 23% on draws. He forced the turnover that led to his goal and had his stick on the ice and was in proper position to be the beneficiary of it. Nice play. You make your own luck.
Alex Killorn had a goal and was +1 with 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 16:33. He was awarded the empty netter when he was hooked on the shot attempt. Even if the call had not been made, Teddy Purcell knocked in the rebound off the end boards. Hopefully that opens the flood gates.
Ondrej Palat had a helper and was +1 with 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, and 2 hits in 18:46. He made the pass that led to the key goal and had at least one amazing back checking play defensively.
J.T. Brown had the big insurance goal and was +1 with 2 shots, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 13:41. Good things happen when you go to the net. Hopefully that opens the floodgates for J.T., too.
Matt Taormina had 1 shot and 2 blocked shots in 10:21.
Nikita Kucherov was +1 with 2 shots in 13:39. He set up Panik on a ten bell opportunity in the First Period and had a breakaway in the Third Period. He's a dangerous offensive player, needless to say.
Andrej Sustr had 3 shots and 1 hit in 13:24.
Richard Panik had 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 13:24. That was a pretty good response coming off of the suspension.

Selena Gomez Already Had an Intruder at New Calabasas Home
Selena Gomez just bought a new five-bedroom crib in Calabasas, Calif., the former stomping grounds of her ex, Justin Bieber. It didn't take long for a fan to breach security and for the singer and actress to deal with her first intruder and unwanted guest.
According to TMZ, authorities confirmed that Selena and a friend returned to the property on Sunday night (March 30) when they heard a strange noise. That's when Sel called her security detail to investigate the noise but before her team could heck out what the heck was going on, the "visitor" rang the doorbell. Sel's friend answered the door and the dude asked if the singer was home. The friend said she wasn't and the intruder left.
Cops arrived at the property to look into the issue and discovered that the man, 21, had broken into the guest house. He was then arrested and charged with burglary and trespassing. Yikes!
The perp is being held on $50,000 bail.
Poor Sel. She just drops $3 million on a lovely new home and barely has a minute to enjoy it when she is forced to deal with a security breach. She should probably beef up her security in light of this problem. These breaches are becoming more and more common, with Taylor Swift and Rihanna dealing with similar issues. Stay safe, ladies!

Subversion and system files
Hello, I'm on FreeBSD 7.0 and I've installed Subversion with the intention of placing my system files (/etc and /usr/local/etc) under revision control. Can someone give me a clue on how to do this in Subversion? When I create a repository from /etc all I'm doing is taking a copy of those files; when I check them out and edit them I'm just editing the copy, not the actual file in /etc. Can some explain to me how I'm supposed to be doing this, I've never used any type of revision control software before.
Many thanks.
- we will create our repository in /root/svnrepo_etc.
- /etc will be the working directory.
initial setup:
- create our svn repo. the svn repository is addressed using a URL.
# svnadmin create file:///root/svnrepo_etc
- add the config files to the repo. (you can also add files selectively instead of the whole /etc dir.)
# svn import /etc file:///root/svnrepo_etc -m "etc repo is born"
- make /etc a working copy. (sorry, i can't think of a less convoluted way to do this)
# svn checkout --force file:///root/svnrepo_etc /etc
ready for action:
# svn info
# svn log
# cd /etc
- ok, now lets modify rc.conf
# echo "# test" >> rc.conf
- check for (as yet uncommited) changes made to the files in /etc
# svn status
- check what we have modified in rc.conf. (compare working copy with last commited ver.)
# svn diff rc.conf
- lets now commit rc.conf to the repo. (note: always use good descriptive messages.)
# svn commit -m "just testing svn, no real change was commited" rc.conf
- check all the revisions of a file
# svn log rc.conf
- show differences b/w revision 1 and 2
# svn diff -r1:2 rc.conf
- show rev. 2 of the file
# svn cat -r2 rc.conf | less
- go back to revision 1
# svn update -r1 rc.conf
- discard as yet uncommited changes
# svn revert rc.conf
backup strategy:
- just save a copy of the /root/svnrepo_etc directory.
hopefully this is enough to get you started.

Thankyou very much ephemera, regarding making /etc the working copy, I did find the following in the subversion FAQ but I don't understand it (which is why I posted on this forum):
Ah yes, thats a cleaner way to do what I had given in the "initial setup" section.
Typically, what happens is that the user/programmer will get a working copy (or update his working copy) from the repo., make changes to his local copy (working copy) of the files and subsequently commit his changes back to the repo.
the first time the user does a checkout, a .svn dir. is automatically created in his working copy. This dir. is required for svn to work. But in our case we are starting with an empty repo. so there is nothing to checkout and adding files from /etc to the repo doesn't automatically make /etc a working copy (ie. no .svn is created). so the problem was how to make /etc a working copy. (Or atleast thats my understanding of it. )

text: Recommendation: The U.S. border security system should be integrated into a larger network of screening points that includes our transportation system and access to vital facilities, such as nuclear reactors. The President should direct the Department of Homeland Security to lead the effort to design a comprehensive screening system, addressing common problems and setting common standards with systemwide goals in mind. Extending those standards among other governments could dramatically strengthen America and the world�s collective ability to intercept individuals who pose catastrophic threats.

Police Urge Caution, Common Sense
People who live in Vermont and New Hampshire may be a little more wary of strangers these days. This week, prosecutors said that the Vermont teenagers charged in a brutal murder tried to get into a house by claiming that they needed help. Even before this week's news, police say it was never a good idea to let strangers inside. (VPR)

"Critter cams" bring animal lovers hours of enjoyment by showing us what it's like to soar through the clouds like a falcon or see the world from our dog's point of view. These tiny cameras have also benefited science by helping researchers study behaviors that are difficult to observe in person, such as tool use in wild crows and the bloodthirsty tendencies of house cats.
It's extremely important to study a species' foraging behavior, since how—and how much—an animal eats can help us understand its physiology, energy use, and fitness. But when it comes to animals that find their food underwater, such as penguins, whales, and fish, it's often difficult for scientists to get accurate measures of foraging success. Now, two Japanese scientists have used penguin-mounted video cameras in tandem with tiny accelerometers to get extremely accurate information about the foraging behavior of penguins and other diving animals. Their research, along with some fantastic video, was published this week in PNAS.
The scientists wanted to test how well head acceleration—a commonly-used proxy for prey capture—reflects actual foraging success in wild penguins. The assumption is that, when a diving animal's head accelerates quickly in relation to its body, the animal is catching prey. However, there are questions about how accurately head acceleration represents prey capture rate; for instance, animals may occasionally "miss" their prey, and quick head movements may occur during behaviors other than prey capture.
To test this proxy, the researchers attached 9-gram accelerometers to the heads and the backs of 13 wild Adélie penguins, which averaged nearly 4 kg each. By comparing the acceleration of the penguins' heads to the rest of their bodies, the researchers could determine relative head acceleration during their foraging dives. They added 33-gram video cameras to the penguins' backs as well; these cameras could confirm whether head acceleration actually reflected successful prey capture.
From the hours of diving footage, one thing was clear: these penguins are incredibly successful foragers. Not one penguin was ever observed "missing" any prey item during the taped dives. Furthermore, the penguins were extremely fast at snatching their prey, catching up to two krill per second and as many as 14 fish in 20 seconds. Take a look at the researchers' video of penguins capturing krill [11MB mov] and an Antarctic fish called the bald notothen [10MB mov].
The penguins' head accelerations coincided extremely well with prey captures and when taken with the low miss rate this suggests that head acceleration may be a good proxy for foraging success in this species. However, the researchers noticed that head accelerations also occurred when penguins were searching along the sea floor, moving their heads from side to side to look for prey. Therefore, they caution that studying distinct types of foraging—such as diving versus seabed searching—may require the use of different proxies.
Upon studying the penguins' foraging behavior, another pattern also became clear. Generally, scientists use a normal distribution to describe the foraging success of diving animals; in this type of distribution, the average value (in this example, the average success of an individual's foraging dives) gives a pretty accurate picture of the phenomena. However, data from this study suggest that a power-law distribution may work better than a normal distribution. This difference is important because in a power-law distribution there is so much variation that the average value isn't very informative. Instead, the feeding success of penguins (and perhaps other underwater foragers as well) may hinge on a very small number of highly profitable dives.
While video cameras and accelerometers aren't an efficient or cost-effective way to study foraging behavior over the long term, they are an excellent way to test and validate proxies for prey capture. Having a better idea of how diving animals forage—and having reliable ways to study this phenomenon—will give us insight into the behavior of underwater animals, as well as the structure and health of their ecosystem.

Jennifer Lopez has settled a lawsuit filed last April by her onetime limo driver, Hakob Manoukian, who claimed Lopez, her company Nuyorican Productions and her manager Benny Medina stiffed him out of promised payments.
E! News confirms that the agreement between the two parties was reached on Feb. 6 and a notice of the settlement filed with Los Angeles Superior Court on Feb. 8.
The news comes less than two months after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joseph Kalin dismissed a $20 million extortion countersuit the singer-actress brought against Manoukian. In her complaint, Lopez accused Manoukian of threatening to go public with "potentially damaging" revelations about her unless she forked over $2.8 million.
U.S. & World
The ex-employee's lawyers, however, asserted that their client was being punished after he sued her for wrongful termination and breach of contract. His Honor agreed and struck down J.Lo's cross-complaint on Dec. 21.
Manoukian's suit contended that he was owed on top of his $72,000 annual salary in the form of "production pay" for being on call whenever Lopez had a professional engagement, such as filming or performing. Manoukian alleged that the then-"American Idol" judge and her managers unfairly demoted him to being an "L.A. driver" and he was eventually axed in September 2011 without being properly compensated.
Terms of the accord were not disclosed.
