Uhuru's former college remains silent on inauguration
Tuesday April 9 2013
As the United States offered its congratulations to President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta a day before his inauguration, Amherst College, from where Mr Kenyatta earned a degree in Political Science and Economics in 1985, declined to comment.
In addition to congratulating Mr Kenyatta, the State Department also commended Raila Odinga "for accepting the Supreme Court's decision" upholding the result of the March 4 election.
The US also congratulated "the people of Kenya on the peaceful conduct of the election."
However, asked on Monday whether Amherst College wished to congratulate its alumnus on his achievement, spokesman Peter Rooney told the Nation that the college would have no comment.
Amherst, located in the state of Massachusetts, ranks among the most prestigious liberal-arts schools in the United States.

The first thing that any person looking at you spots is your face and more importantly, the hair style you have. So, it becomes imperative that a person has a good-looking healthy hair that naturally enhances your appearance to the outside world and also enhances your confidence level.
Hair fall is a common phenomenon among people who have hair above their head. It is normal that a little amount of hair falls out from the head on a daily basis, either while combing hair or while shampooing it during a shower, and as such is not a cause of concern that needs attention. In fact, a little bit of hair fall, on a daily basis, is required for the hair to grow. But the problem arises when the hair, on a daily basis, falls more than the normal. This excessive hair fall or loss of hair leads to something like hairless head or baldness, as it is otherwise called.
What might be the causes for baldness? And how to counter or eliminate this excessive hair fall?
Hair loss or baldness might be due to hereditary reasons about which nothing more can be done. If your father or grandfather has bald hair, then there is every possibility that you may also develop baldness, if not already, as days and years go by. This is not the only reason for baldness.
The other reasons cited for baldness include excessive dandruff in the hair, hormonal changes, excessive stress, age, and to some extent deficiency in nutrition or improper nutrition. It has been found that proper nutrition helps in postponing hair fall and keeping your hair healthy. Lack of iron in the body, which leads to anemia, has been cited as one of the reasons for hair loss, especially among women, who need more iron to compensate for loss of blood in menstrual cycles.
What can be done to halt the hair fall and have good-looking healthy hair for a long time?
One can resort to any of the many remedial measures that can be tried, without resorting to the doctor or other means. Some of them are suggested are discussed in this article.
Massaging the scalp with the yolk of an uncooked egg and leaving it at the hair for an hour before washing the hair is one way to eliminate this hair loss. Repeat this process for at least 3 or 4 times a week and you will find that hair fall has reduced considerably.
Fenugreek seeds can be of use in combating hair loss. Take a small amount of fenugrook seeds and soak it in water for some time. Then apply the wet fenugrook seeks on to your scalp and massage it gently. Cover the hair, after massaging, with a cloth and leave it for about 3 or 4 hours. Following this procedure for about 4 to 5 weeks will ensure that the amount of hair you other wise lose would have considerably reduced.
Applying olive oil to the hair frequently or using coconut milk to massage the scalp and the roots of the hair can also provide effective results and reduce hair fall.

As I've already said; floating crap stinks, no matter how long it's been under water.
Compliments of A World of Progress:
Did Koch Industries write the budget deal? Or is it just a coincidence that so many of the the [sic] things Republicans demanded — and got — just happen to line up with the financial interests of the billionaires who fund the Tea Party and much of the "conservative movement?" Cutting money for the EPA, alternative energy efficiency, high-speed rail, efforts to fight climate change — even prohibiting NOAA from creating a Climate Service … it reads like an oil tycoon's wish list.

The Penguins are up 2 games to none and are heading into the eye of the hurricane at the RBC Center and unfortunately for the Canes the eye is the calm part of the storm. The Hurricanes are 4-2 on home ice in the playoffs and lost their last game at home 4-2 to the Bruins. How calm is Carolina home ice? So calm that that they haven't sold out all of their playoff games.
Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby are providing the one-two punch for which Carolina has no counter. Carolina should have stayed down for the 10 count instead got up and tried some old schoolyard kindergarten variety bullying which was more like Semin's slap fest than what we faced in our first two series. The Cardiac in "Cardiac Canes" was diagnosed as a mild case of indigestion and all they have to show for it is the $2500 fine Ray Bayda received for cross checking Chris Letang in the face at 18:41 of the third period and Patrick Eaves getting the tar beat out of him by Miroslav Satan who is garnering a cult following here in the 'burgh this post season.
Do I even need to mention the Swiss cheese that is Cam Ward? What is Carolina's game plan? Throw people to the net, if that doesn't work then throw more people to the net. That's why we have a Hal Gill.
Alright, time for me to spout off a bit:
Cancel your subscriptions! What could have been more appropriate than "Sporting News" announcing Ovechkin as winner of their player of the year award in between periods of a VERSUS game in which Malkin got hat trick while Ovechkin is at home practicing his next dance move. Seriously if those people actually watched the hockey games instead of voting on the post play theatrics they see in highlights, this would never happen. I would normally post a link to the article, but I don't want those idiots getting a cent of advertising money.
Bill Cowher is officially an idiot. Unless Bill Cowher pulls off his shirt and has a Penguin shirt underneath while he is sounding the horn tonight, he is a waste of life in my book. Cowher more than anyone should know from the "Steeler Nation" of displaced Pittsburghers who went out to cheer him on in other cities what it means to be a Pittsburgher. How does he show his thanks to the members of the Steeler Nation? By screwing over Pittsburgh first chance he gets. A big L in the middle of the forhead for William L. (is for loser) Cowher.
Speaking of Steeler Nation. I mentioned I hate the idiot "Hockeytahn" ripoff of Detroit's "Hockeytown" (BTW Detroit lost last night in OT) How about think bigger and we copy the great "Steeler Nation" and have the "Penguin Nation" in honor of all the displaced Penguin fans across the country and the Penguin fans that make the long trips to cheer on the team in other arenas. I'm sure many of these people who would join the "Penguin Nation" are all ready part of the "Steeler Nation".
No suspension again for Carolina. ex Penguin – Colin Campbell the Director of Hockey operations for the NHL for the second time in two series overturned an automatic suspension for the Carolina Hurricanes, this time for the Match Penalty given to Ray Bayda for cross checking Chris Letang in the mouth. "I'm not the guy who gives the suspension," Letang said "There are people hired for that and they have to make the decision"
Pierre McGuire loses out again: Pierre Mcguire who was pining for the Minnesota Wilds GM spot lost out to Pittsburgh Penguins assistant GM Chuck Fletcher. To fill in Chuck Fletcher's spot on the Penguins have promoted Jason Botterill to assistant general manager.

"Black Friday" is here, but are there any deals for comic book collectors? One great gift idea is the graphic novel. Graphic novels are a relatively inexpensive way to get a deal on a collection of comic books (usually a complete storyline), and many times you can find discounts off cover price for the novel itself. Below are the latest deals from Amazon.
If you want to find actual comic books, E-bay may be the place. Several online sellers are running Black Friday or Holiday specials, myself included. You can see some of the deals I've run in my online store below.

Parking zone error made children late for school
A Transport Department mistake caused thousands of children in North District to be late for school during the first week of the new academic year.
The department changed the opening hours for several vehicle-restricted zones near school areas in Sheung Shui and Fanling to after 8am. As a result, schoolchildren had either to get off at non-restricted zones and walk to their schools a few streets away or wait on the bus and miss the school bell while their driver argued with traffic police.
North district councillor Edward Lau Kwok-fan, who has been helping the school-bus operators, said the zones were previously opened to permit-holders at three time slots - 7am to 9am, 11am to 2pm, and 2.15pm to 5pm. But it was changed to between 8am and 9am, and between 5pm and 5.30pm when schools opened on September 1. 'At 8am all schools had started - what good does it serve not to let the school buses in the area until then?'
The department admitted to a mistake due to internal communications, but said it was rectified on Tuesday once it received complaints. It has reverted to the original hours.
Meanwhile, a mother of two mainland children who travel across the border every day to go to school in Hong Kong said the department should also consider opening up the border for more school buses.
Mrs Fong, whose daughter studies in a Sheung Shui primary school, said the girl had to spend up to an hour waiting at the Lok Ma Chau border every day for a school bus.
'Large batches of children run around at the transport interchange as they wait for the school bus, as only six are allowed in every hour. My elder boy once lost his travel document in such chaos.'
There were 6,768 cross-boundary students last year and the number has been rising, but authorities have issued fewer border-entry permits to school-bus operators using the Lo Wu checkpoint this year than two years ago.
The Education Bureau said it had allowed more buses to pick up students at the public transport interchange at any one time. It would also explore such options as securing more parking spaces for buses.
A lawmaker of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, Gary Chan Hak-kan, said the two minibus routes at the Lok Ma Chau interchange, for example, should share one pick-up point, to leave an extra stop for school buses. 'The government can also consider making space for more pick-up points, and widening the roads in the long run.'

Yavanna leans back against the stone wall of the pool and breathes in deeply, letting the clean air of Lórien fill her chest. Her hand rests on the cool water behind her; she knows that if she lifted it from the pool, she would find her fingers slick with algae.
The reminder of what this pool once was frustrates her, and she sighs heavily to herself. She misses Laurelin's dew that Arien once collected and brought here, and this place seems barren without its golden light. It is her nature to create, to help growing things along their path, so much so that it requires a great force of will on her part for her not to create. But the things that come from her mind these days are piteous: algae, or moss on tree bark, or perhaps a blade of grass as she walks over bare earth. They can never compare to what she created in the dawn of Arda. Never so much as a flower, to say nothing of a bush or a....
She stops herself before that thought can run its natural course. For in happier days, earlier days, she helped things grow from seed to full height in but a blink of an eye. 'Twas nothing to her, then. And her special love was for the trees. They were – are, for if two trees stand as specters, thousands more remain alive -- like children to her. She loved – loves, she must correct herself again – them so fiercely, that she petitioned the One to craft guardians for them. And He had. Yet somehow, deep in her bones, Yavanna knows that the tree-herders cannot protect their charges.
How could they? For the tree-herders are but created things, for all their strength, and Laurelin and Telperion fell while all the Valar stood not so far away.
She pushes herself away from the pool's wall, pulls herself to her feet, rubs her hand clean against her gown. The clear water, for all its simple beauty, cannot compare to the memories this place conjures in her mind. She remembers the gleam of Laurelin's dew, a gold glow that suffused this glade with brightness and life. And she sighs again.
A part of her wishes that she could leave, abandon all memory of the Trees. Yet she keeps coming back. She walks among the woods of Lórien, gathering strength from the plants whose longfathers she helped awaken, but she is forever pulled back to this pool of water, where snow and rainwater murmur to her: Eä! Let these things be!
She hates that song, the Song from Before-time, whose echoes she still hears in the water. It reminds her of other things she wishes to forget, from when she first sang that song: how her sister Varda's name would be praised by the Firstborn, and how the Aftercomers would call out to Ulmo and to Oromë, so that her kinsmen would bless their labors. Even Aulë would have children, the stocky creatures who now slept in their halls of stone, waiting to be awoken.
It had never pleased her, her knowledge that the others would have such followers while she would be so easily forgotten by the Speaking Folk. Save of course her beloved tree-herders, fated to failure and slow death through ennui. She desires that reverence for herself that the Children give so easily to her lover, to her sister and brother. But most of all she longs for some good work, some useful purpose, to which she can set her hands. Her greatest labor is destroyed, and she knows not what she still has the strength to accomplish.
She shakes her head sadly, then stares longingly toward the trees. She longs to leave this pool, leave behind the reminders of the two trees that still stand as ghosts on Ezellohar. Perhaps someday she will leave Lórien, leave Aman altogether, and seek desolate lands where green things still need fostering. But for today, something deep inside her bids her stay.
And, as she cannot yet make her feet carry her to the shelter of the trees, she does precisely that. Just for a little while, she promises herself, but she stays nonetheless.

Many thanks for your helpful reply. When I have the spasms in the diaphragm area my abdomen does not become hard. I get a pain like a stitch in my left hand side, my sternum becomes very painful and sore, like the skin has been burnt, so sore I cannot bear to touch it. The spasms affect the secondary muscles of respiration, which is the cause of the breathlessness. Are not the secondary muscles of respiration smooth muscle?

I do think that there might be a problem, or some abnormality in the muscles of us. Being that we cannot feel it. Other than that, we may just have a case of IBS or something rather insignificant and easy to control.

For the person who is mainly physically oriented, subtle aromatherapy may be hard to grasp, because it is dealing with parts of ourselves that most of us cannot touch or see. Although this category can include working with our mental and emotional aspects of life, it also includes affecting our energetic system, that is hidden from normal eyesight and our other senses. Our energetic system is comprised of the Auric fields, chakras, and meridians, and these in turn interface with our endocrine system, and organs. What happens to our energetic system affects our physical systems and vise versa. Everything is interrelated.
The auric field is a complex network of energy threads, like fibers of a feather, that forms a luminous egg around each of us. And this auric field is composed of different layers that correspond to our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. So that when we work with subtle aromatherapy within the auric field, it can affect us on all of these levels.
The auric field is connected to our chakras. These are spinning vortexes of energy; each one spinning at a different frequency. They are places where prana (life force) can easily enter or leave our bodies. The upper ones (5-7) work with regulating cosmic energies and the lower ones (1-3), regulate how we work with the earth energies, or grounding. The Heart Chakra or midpoint of the two, is the place where earth and spirit come together through emotion, love, and compassion. Each chakra is directly affiliated with a specific endocrine gland and organ.
Our meridians run vertically (top to bottom) and also interface with the chakras. They are like energetic veins and arteries. Instead of carrying blood, they allow our life force energy to flow and circulate within the entire energetic system. All of which is vital to our health. This is why acupuncture is such a dynamic and important therapy; it works with the meridians to maintain balance and harmony in our bodies.
When we work with our energetic system through subtle aromatherapy, we have the capability of dynamically shifting our moods, perceptions and consciousness. I am continually amazed at how quickly someone's chakra energy responds when I manually massage it with an essential oil. Typically, when there is a blockage in the heart chakra, I put a very small amount of rose essential oil, (1 drop), on a finger, rub my fingers together, then let the person smell the rose essential oil, and finally cup my hands over the heart chakra. Immediately, I sense a release of old, stuck, energy. Formulas can also be blended specifically to do many things with our chakras, including opening and balancing them. And I have done just that with my Aromatherapy Celebrations! Chakra Oil Set.
Still confused? Or want more information? Just drop me a comment. I'll be happy to fill in the details!

Thus Owls are a transatlantic band comprised of husband and wife duo Erika and Simon Angell. The band originated in Sweden as an outlet for Erika's songs. She met Simon by chance while the two were touring in Europe as part of different bands that were paired on the same bill. Erika recalls that she "fell in love with Simon's sound right away," citing the "harshness and the sweetness combined" of his guitar, as well as his experimental approach to music. It wasn't long before they were married, and making music together as Thus Owls.

Converting more less used forums to subforums of active forums
It used to be subforums on (active) forums were pretty ugly, but thats changed recently along with the conversion to the new current/older/upcoming layout. So since subforums in that have worked out pretty well how about converting a few of the forums which either get very little attention or could benefit from being more organized by being part of a more frequented forum.
Some examples:
I think overall this would only help the sections, since (1) the statistics for (some of) them are quite sad (2) they dont get that many posts so the last post isnt as relevant as it got posts for which a subforum is sufficient and at the same time a more efficient use of space (3) being a subforum of a more popular forum helps attract attention to it an thus increase the chances of it getting used and posts in it getting answered; something a lot of them are definitely lacking.
With some more a tad bit extreme changes, such as moving the now somewhat unused section of Fansub Groups to Tech Support, Music to General Chat, and Suggestions to General Anime, the forum would have just 9 forums total and thus fit in one screen, all the main forums being visible with no need for scrolling.1
1 This may not be 100% accurate as I based it on simply counting how many forums fit on one (average) screen, but its not completely off either. With a few adjustments such as removing descriptions for forums with subforums (since they are quite self-explenatory anyway) they could made to fit, even with the extras that would be generated.

No matter your religion (or lack thereof), you can't argue it has had a big hand in shaping a lot of the world's culture and society. Learning more about it can help strengthen your understanding of a specific country. In terms of Korea, a unique experience to learn more would be to participate in a temple stay program. I was lucky enough to have one sponsored by my education office, and we stayed at Naesosa in Buan down in Jeollabukdo. Here's what it was like experiencing a Korean temple stay.
Experiencing a Temple Stay in Korea
Naesosa's programs are two days and one night. We arrived around 4 pm in the afternoon on a Thursday and quickly changed into a T-shirt and perhaps some of the most comfortable pants ever. We swapped our sneakers and heels for some jelly material flats, made to be worn with socks. We then went into one of the rooms for an introduction to Buddhism from a monk and experienced making the vows to Buddha (don't worry for those of you who are not comfortable with this due to your personal religion. It is perfectly okay to step back and observe rather than participate), and went over the program itinerary. We then had dinner in the temple's small dining hall. Since monks do not eat meat or fish, our meal was entirely vegetarian and incredibly healthy.
Followed by dinner, we went to Daeungbojeon (대웅보전), the main temple to experience the chants and bows monks go through as well as a small tour of Naesosa. We were given some free time to relax before a 9:00 p.m. bedtime…
Because we had a 4:00 a.m. wake-up call! Yes, you read that right. Monks' morning prayers begin at 4:30 a.m. Typically they include 108 bows, but thankfully we were simply informed of this (108 bows is exhausting on the back in normal conditions let alone at 4:30 a.m.). After the morning prayer, we went back to meditate for about half an hour. We then had a Monk's meal for breakfast, learning patience and ritual in eating.
After breakfast, we painted designs based on temple paintings (I made a lotus flower), and then we had a choice to go for a small hike up in the nearby mountains or make prayer beads. After initial reluctance, I went for the hike, and I get it now why people like hiking so much! We went on a small hike, and the views were absolutely stunning.
We went home after lunch and a closing ceremony, stopping by a very cute coffee shop along the sea en route home. Overall, it was a lovely experience, though very rigid in its nature. I would recommend participating in one at least once during your stay in Korea.
Getting There
The best way is by Express Bus: You can take any express bus to Buan Terminal. From there you can take a local bus that'll cost a little less than 3,000 won and take 50 minutes or a much easier way is to take a 30-minute taxi ride for about 20,000 won altogether.
Similar Stays
While I went with my education office, you can find more information here. You can also book similar temple stay tours below. Just click on the links to see the pages.
- Geumsansa Temple Stay – You can choose from a 3-hr program or 2 days, 1 night. Geumsansa is in Bukhansan, which is near Seoul.

Drone Maker Titan Aerospace To Become A Google-Owned Company
Enid Burns for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
Not so fast Facebook. Google just bought Titan Aerospace, a company that makes drones, which Facebook entered into contract to acquire in early March for $60 million.Titan Aerospace has become the target of Silicon Valley giants for its development of a solar-powered drone that can fly for several years without ever touching down. Google did not disclose details of the purchase, the Wall Street Journal reports. It did say that Titan and its 20 employees will remain in New Mexico. Google said Titan Chief Executive Vern Raeburn will continue to run the company, as a unit of Google.
Facebook was interested in Titan and its drones to work on founder Mark Zuckerberg's passion project Internet.org, which will supply Internet connectivity to people in developing countries. Google will use the Titan acquisition to support its Project Loon, in which Google originally intended to supply wireless Internet access from the skies via balloons, which would reach people in remote areas. Project Loon hit a milestone earlier this month when it launched a balloon that was able to circumnavigate the globe in just 22 days.
According to the Wall Street Journal report, the Titan team focuses on advanced material design for lightweight flying vehicles and algorithms for wind prediction and flight planning. Google may expect the Titan team to work outside of its core area of developing and producing drones.
"Titan Aerospace and Google share a profound optimism about the potential for technology to improve the world," Google said in a statement provided to Mashable's Todd Wasserman. "It's still early days, but atmospheric satellites could help bring internet access to millions of people, and help solve other problems, including disaster relief and environmental damage like deforestation. It's why we're so excited to welcome Titan Aerospace to the Google family."
The Titan team may also work with Makani, Mashable reports. Makani is a Google project that is developing an airborne wind turbine.
If deployed, the drones will be capable of more than simply blanketing remote areas with Internet access. Google listed a number of humanitarian efforts the drones can provide. They can also provide high-resolution images of earth, navigation and mapping services and atmospheric-based monitoring systems, BusinessWeek reports. Imaging and mapping systems can enhance services such as Google Maps, and provide real-time updates such as traffic data and weather information.
Google's interest in drones follows a pattern of widening its operations. "Google has been investing in numerous projects outside its core Internet search business to extend its reach. The company has spent on products like connected Google Glass eyewear and driverless cars. Last year, Google acquired Boston Dynamics Inc., which makes robots for the U.S. Defense Department," wrote BusinessWeek's Brian Womack.
Facebook likely backed out of its intent to acquire Titan Aerospace soon after talks became public. The company completed another deal that brought on team members from UK-based Ascenta, PC World reports. Ascenta also makes a solar-powered unmanned aircraft. That deal was reportedly worth $20 million, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Do you turn into a monster behind the wheel of your car or when you're in other seemingly anonymous situations? Why is it that even the mildest mannered, gracious people become Mr. Hyde in certain circumstances?
A friend of mine shared that one of her friends, who lives in LA, was driving and got mad at the driver in front of him. He leaned out of his window swearing, shaking his fist and yelling at the driver. After a bit he discovered that the driver he was yelling at was his biggest client. Lucky for Mr. Road Rage, his client did not notice who was making such a fuss, but it could have been a very costly mistake.
Along the same lines, my friend told me that her husband was doing cold calls – a thankless job for anyone – and twice two representatives from companies slammed the phone down on him. Her husband is a courteous, kind person who owns a graphic design firm. It's hard for me to understand why someone would slam the phone on him.
Both of these stories illustrate something. They show the lack of humanity people can have when they disconnect; when they forget they are interacting with another human being. Most of us are guilty of it at one time or another. I certainly have been.
One time, driving in my car, I almost ran into another driver going around a traffic circle because one of us (not sure if it was me or the other person) was going the short way around it. I started to make an angry face at the other driver when I noticed it was my brother. Oops!
In other instances, I find it hard to be empathetic when someone is rude to me. A friend reminded me that you never know what's going on with someone. Maybe the person just got bad news.
My friend is right; we are all humans doing the best we can. Let's be kinder. I know it's not always easy, especially when someone does something that upsets or bothers us, but I encourage you to slow down and take a breath before responding rudely to another person. Besides being bad for your health, your rude behavior could have consequences – a lost client, a sibling who doesn't speak to you or just bad karma.
Kindness begets kindness. So what do you say, will you give it a try? The next time someone cuts you off on the road, whether on purpose or by accident, assume it was an accident and let it go. When that grocery clerk is surely, smile and compliment her on her earrings or scarf or whatever. Rather than react in anger, respond with love.
Now let's all sing Kum Ba Ya and hug.

Yeah see that's the thing, here in New York it's against the law to defend yourself. You have to get shot and killed otherwise it's unfair to the hoodie. If I shot him then he couldn't be immediately paroled to kill again. If this was a sane world they would make it mandatory that all store owners be armed! But noooo, they have to get killed because the rights of the maggot comes first.
There isn't enough money in the world to keep me in a place like that.
I carried a .357 Derringer in a boot holster while I was there, too!

Today is the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. It's a good day to reflect and ask "have we come a long way, baby?" For those who have fought to keep this right for us, we are grateful. And yet, we know we still must fight to retain this right. We need leaders to protect that right.
Senator John Kerry, our '04 nominee, reaffirmed his support for Roe v. Wade, and all those who fight every day to protect a woman's right to choose, today. His first speech on the Senate floor was in fact a speech in support of women's reproductive rights. Kerry continues to push for strong and unbroken abortion rights to this day.
"Thirty five years ago today, the Supreme Court affirmed the right to privacy in the landmark Roe v. Wade decision," said Kerry. "Ever since that day, the modern conservative movement has spared no resources or energy to try and roll back a fundamental freedom and put personal and private decisions in the hands of politicians not women, families, doctors, and clergy. We've seen the right wing pack the courts and pass backdoor legislative efforts at the local, state, and federal level to chip away at or even undermine Roe v Wade entirely."
"Now more than ever, we need to protect the right to privacy. We must rededicate ourselves to the fight to make it clear that a 35 year old statement of a constitutional right must not be overturned. From the struggle to repeal a global gag rule, to the battle against extreme judicial nominees, to filibusters of conscience against President Bush's most dangerous choices for the bench all the way to the Supreme Court, we have fought for principle, and that fight must continue until we have a voice in the White House who will stand up for a woman's right to privacy rather than work to erode it."
Hillary Clinton announced her campaign agenda for reproductive health care today saying, ""When I'm President, I will appoint judges to our courts who understand that Roe v. Wade isn't just binding legal precedent, it is the touchstone of our reproductive freedom, the embodiment of our most fundamental rights, and no one – no judge, no governor, no Senator, no President – has the right to take it away."
Clinton's "agenda includes preventing unintended pregnancies by increasing access to honest, accurate sex education, contraception and family planning services, ensuring that private health plans offer the same level of coverage for contraception as they do for other prescription drugs and services, ensuring that women who survive sexual assault have access to emergency contraception upon request."
"On the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I am reaffirming my commitment to safe, legal, and rare abortion, and unveiling an agenda for decreasing the number of unintended pregnancies in the U.S. through honest and complete sex education and expanded access to contraception and family planning," said Clinton.
Whoever our next president is must affirm that they will preserve this right for women. There was no question in '04 that Kerry would not back down on this issue and I trust that Hillary Clinton is the candidate in '08 that will ensure that women will continue to have a right to reproductive freedom and privacy.

Veteran's Day.
Well, today is the day we are allowed to thank veterans. The other 364 days are for worshipping "Dear leader" and Thanking Al Gore for creating the internet I guess.
Fact is today is just another day for folks like me. Folks like me who thank veterans every day. For people who when out at the diner, buy an extra meal for the vet in the corner. For folks like me who live every day KNOWING that the Veteran sustained my right to be an American. For folks like me who know that every veteran of the American military deserves gratitude from ALL Americans ALL THE TIME. I thank a veteran every day. So today is just another day for folks like me.
For folks who are so self absorbed they believe they need a government holiday to allow them to thank a vet, today is a good day for you I guess.
Think about this for a minute. Folks on the left, The new Democrat party of today, the ideologies they have pushed since 2006 have been anything but GOOD for Veterans or Active service members. But Today, they are allowed freedom to thank a veteran. They have "Cover" from their Democrat counterparts to say "Thank you" and appear "Pro-Military" The democrat party can go on TV and espouse the "Rah Rah" Cheerleading for Military members for a speech to their sheeple, then go right back to DC and continue stabbing them in the back.
So for you who believe that any politicians speech or statement today is genuine, look what they did the other 364 days in the year. This will help enlighten you to the type of person who is speaking.
Forgive me for being blunt but I'm in a bit of a mood today, probably because I've about had enough of the hypocrisy, double standard and straight up bullshit from people leading the nation.
Veterans in my circle of friends KNOW EXACTLY HOW I FEEL, there's no doubt of my gratitude for what they've done because I've made it perfectly clear ALL YEAR, EVERY YEAR.
This ONE day is for the rest of ya.

I scoffed when I first heard about it, but then I read the article.
It's a bit of a long read, but fascinating and potentially very, very important.
Assuming that the studies it refers to are legit, then it is very compelling evidence that the dramatic rise in violent crime rates in the 60's, 70's and 80's and then the dramatic DROP in those same violent crime rates in the 90's and onwards is due to the increase in cars after WWII and all the leaded gasoline, and then the removal of lead from gasoline. It also means that America could potentially save hundreds of billions of dollars and reduce violent crime rate even further.
I know the first thing people will think: correlation, not causation. But apparently the correlation between removing lead from gasoline and violent crimes works city by city, state-by-state, and even nation-by-nation. These places removed lead from gas at different times, and of course they all had varying other factors, but removing the lead from gas still held up in the correlation with future drops in crime rates of a little over 20 years (the time it takes for a child to grow up and become a violent adult). In New Orleans they were even able to correlate lead levels in soils to violent crime rates to individual neighborhoods, and they matched up. Not only that, but every other theory (baby boom and it's echo, abortion and birth control availability, new policing methods, etc) does not correlate with the data showing the drop in violent crimes. Removing lead from gasoline goes correlate.
Not only that, but research shows that even small amounts of lead in the body leads to behaviors that we pretty much typify with more violent young people.
Hopefully more research will be done to follow up on this theory, because if true the USA and other countries could potentially reduce violent crimes, incarceration rates and costs, and help out their urban areas. It also makes you wonder about our problems with infertility, ADHD, autism, obesity, etc and whether or not there could be a simple answer based on certain kinds of environmental pollution.

Alright, I'll admit, when I think of what alien-themed Summer flick our reader's will appreciate hearing about, I don't jump to Aliens in the Attic, I think of District 9. However, having been lucky enough to have seen District 9 (review coming soon), I can note that the movie has a distinct lack of hot young Disney stars. Aliens in the Attic, on the other hand, has the beautiful Ashley Tisdale. The High School Musical actress seems to be keeping close to the kids movie/Disney path, so we can't expect to see her in any badass action films like District 9 just yet, but isn't her squeaky clean demeanor part of her appeal?
A word from Ashley: "My agent didn`t want me on Disney because I`m older. But honestly, I`m not ready for older roles yet, or even the things older girls do I am still young."
Don't worry, we checked, and she's chronologically old enough for us to recommend that you check out more hot photos of Ashley after the jump!

I have removed exhaust, torque converter shield, removed torque converter bolts, disconnected lines, removed heat shield, removed cross member support, removed wiring harnesses, and removed the 6 stud bolts from transmission to engine. Pull straight back to remove, and nothing happens. Am I missing something here, other than it might be stuck? On left and right side between lower 2 stud locations, I see what appears to me a bolt end, without a head. Are these just guide pins, or might have there been bolts there and broken off? This is where I'm at on this, let me know if you need further info. Thanks and 2 thumbs up for the site.
have the same problem?

Baseball's history is full of players that just came into it and never "trained" at it all when they did play. Shoeless Joe didn't start playing until he got a job at a mill and it wasn't that long after that he was asked to play for Chicago. Walter Johnson, one of the greatest pitchers ever, same thing. Babe Ruth was drunk most of the time and used to chug a soda for every hot dog he would ate, he was known to eat a dozen in a sitting. How the **** does that proves baseball takes intense training to be good? I just named three of the greatest players to ever play the game and I never touched the Negro League players who due to shitty attitudes never had a chance until they were older to actually get a glove and ball.
Where the **** is Ty Cobb when you need him?
Edit: Oh... in a fireman's carry. Never did it that way. Always piggyback.

An endangered Hawaiian Hawk that was wounded by a pellet gun has made a full recovery on the Big Island.
The Three Ring Ranch animal sanctuary was taking care of the bird after it was brought in April.
The bird had a bullet lodged in its chest. But after surgery and rehab, the hawk was released on Monday.
It was the second wounded hawk that was found in a matter of weeks on the Big Island.
Both were apparently shot by a pellet gun, which is illegal.

Anyone who has been in Wall Street long enough has seen it all: the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good is when investors make money and manage to hold on to it, beating the major market averages like the S&P500 (NYSE:SPY) over a long period of time. The bad is when investors amass a fortune chasing after "hot" stocks as a bubble blows and then lose all of it as the bubble bursts, as was the case with scores of individual and institutional investors caught in the high-tech bubble of the late 1990s. The ugly is when investors hire someone to lose them a great deal of money, as was the case with scores of investors who handed their money to Bernie Madoff, or end up buying companies that failed like Enron, Washington Mutual, and MCI Wordcom.
How can investors stay with the good scenario?
By developing and maintaining an intelligent state of mind, as discussed in a book I published recently called Intelligent Investing in Irrational Markets.
Investors are intelligent and emotional beings. As intelligent beings, investors make decisions by carefully examining their financial priorities and constrains, and the "economic fundamentals," the macroeconomic and microeconomic environment that surrounds financial markets.
Emotional investors, by contrast, make decisions by impulse and hype fueled by irrational exuberance and irrational pessimism, rather than reason. They rush and race to buy or sell stocks, simply by listening to "experts," stockbrokers, financial analysts, and portfolio managers who come up with one story or another to support an everlasting trend.
Irrational exuberance and irrational pessimism is most pronounced in momentum investing whereby investors chase after popular stocks—networking in the late 1990s like JDS Uniphase, Ciena, Cisco Systems, and Lucent-Alcatel that now trade at a fraction of their 2001 highs. That's how emotional investors amassed and lost a fortune back then.
Will history repeat itself with today's hot stocks? We cannot say.
What we can say is that developing and maintaining an intelligent state of mind takes the right philosophical approach about investing; set up the right investment architecture; monitor investments closely and set up investment rules; and diversify across asset categories rather than just inside asset categories.

Alzheimer's Disease
Perhaps the most stressful caregiving of all is tending a victim of Alzheimer's disease. Caregivers must be certain to get help. Ask Ethelinn Block of Mesa, Arizona. She was interviewed by Dale Bell.
Only five years ago, Ethelinn's father ran a successful chain of photography studios, specializing in family portraits. Today, the simple act of getting out of bed and taking a shower is overwhelming.
Ethelinn: One of the things that I had to do was very slowly take everything away. Started with the car, then the money, then the phone, certain things in his room. I have to be totally controlling.
Notice one roll of toilet paper, and only one extra roll. I always make sure there's just one. If there's more, he will flush them down the toilet, and has, ten rolls, flooded my whole house. This is my father's closet, that I try and keep as controlled as possible. Shirts. Shorts. The shorts are same color, solid color, so he can't make any fashion mistakes here. You'll notice that there's no shoes. There's no shoes because if he has shoes, that means he's dressed. That means he's all dressed and he's ready to leave. And so, we have to hide his shoes because my father tends to wander and if he doesn't have the shoes, that's one more thing that will stop him from leaving the house.
And as I did it, he said to me, "Can you just leave one pair?" and it broke my heart. I took away his shoes. Taking away the shoes is only one technique that we use. We double lock our doors, inside and out. We have an alarm system. There's no way, short of breaking a window, that he can leave, but he will find a way. When someone with Alzheimer's gets something in their head, they're going. He's going on that streetcar to Los Angeles, or whatever. He's going and there's nothing I can do to stop him, except play, fight, coax, do everything, and I usually have to give him a drug that will calm him down when he's in that phase. Or else, he's out the door.
I cry wondering how much of this he is aware of. Once we were talking about his memory and he said to me, "What don't I remember?" and I said, "Well, sometimes you forget that mom died" and he looked at me and he said, "Maybe I want to."
Arthur: I love all my family and they're very nice to me and I'm very nice to them. That's the way it is.
Ethelinn: There's two victims in this. The person and the caregiver and that scares me, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't even conceive of any other way. We know he's safe. We know he's happy. He sees his grandkids, and I'm already giving so much here that I wonder, at some point, this isn't going to go on forever, will there be any of me left?

Conservation Groups Oppose Murkowski-Begich Alaska Drilling Bill
The Wilderness Society, Alaska Wilderness League, and Gwich'in Steering Committee today expressed disappointment in a bill introduced by Alaska Sens. Lisa Murkowski, (R), and Mark Begich, (D), that would allow so-called "directional" (or horizontal) drilling from state lands and waters adjacent to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in order to reach oil that might be found under the refuge's coastal plain.
The groups criticized the proposal's exaggerated claims about the potential of directional drilling technology, its impact on the fragile Arctic environment, and the ability of the proposal to create new jobs. "We are disappointed because we would rather work with Sens. Murkowski and Begich on a comprehensive Arctic climate and energy plan," said Eleanor Huffines, Alaska Regional Director for The Wilderness Society.

It's that time again all the kids are lining up for another annual sex ed class. Everyone knows what is going to happen, the boring 90 year old man will tell us about how by having sex you can transfer; chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, yeast infections, Hepatitis a,b and c! Not to mention HIV, HPV, herpes, crabs, scabies and last but not least AIDS! They tell you what? The only way to not get a disease is to not have sex.
It's a very informative class, and a fun one too! You get to see the inside of penis and vagina in black and white. You get a little worksheet where you put the words to the parts. For example you need to correctly find where the labia and clitoris are located on a vagina. From the angle the vagina sort of looks like a weird alien lol!
I don't know about you but when I'm going down on a girl it looks more like this.
Now this would be a much better example but let's be realistic those conservative soccer moms would lose their basket. Hell why even tell kids about having safe sex when we could just tell them not to have sex, a fucking full proof plan. No sex=no unwanted babies and no disease. Marry the one you love, who you know is safe. I mean most kids are Christians anyways right. But why should it be the parents responsibility to talk about sex, that conversation is far too awkward to talk about I mean your mom and pa talking to you about sex! Gross! So it should be schools responsibility.
Just hire someone to go to all the schools in the district to talk about Abstinence! Have him show a few videos on how scary STD's are. Show the little ones, how to correctly point out what a scrotum is. In high school teach the same thing, maybe cut out the genital diagrams and just talk more about STD's.
That only problem with that plan is it never worked.
Current Sexual Education
With these numbers it's not hard to figure that the ways were teaching about sex is completely wrong. Over the years schools have tried to modify their plans to turn it from Abstinence only to Abstinence plus. Abstinence plus is modified sex ed that follows a more realistic approach but it has flaws. It teaches that you being abstinent is a good plan but if you do happen to have sex with another partner wear a condom. This is a step in the right detection but like I said it has its flaws.
For starters it still follows the old path of abstinence, telling you that you should try and stay with long time partner if you going to have sex. Teenagers are social beings, if they meet a interesting guy or girl, they will form a mental connection as well as a physical connection. Sex in my opinion is something your body needs, saying things like abstinence makes sex seem like something that needs to be put away, something that should be used for reproduction rather than fun. Abstinence programs make sex seem like something you should be ashamed off, that if you not in year long relationship having sex is wrong.
The second problem with these programs is they fail to cover other subjects such as homosexuality and cheating. Say you're one of these people who are in a abstinent relationship and your partner has sex with another person and infects you with a disease. Many married women as well as some men are infected with STD's like HIV and AIDS because they don't even think about practicing safe sex or testing because the APE tells them that because there in a married relationship there is no need to test. Also this type of sex ed doesn't talk about homosexuality so gays aren't learning all the facts that they need to learn.
Lastly since the programs are abstinence based things like contraception are contradictory. So they will tell you to use condoms and describe how to put a condom on but since they are more focused on abstinence they leave out subjects like where to get condoms and birth control, how to get them if you are low income, what are the side effects, etc'
The parents
As well as school, parents need to step up to the plate and start talking realistically to their kids. The schools aren't doing the best job so you might as well do yours. By telling a kid that they should not under any circumstances have sex won't help them any. Now I'm not saying you have to talk about every intimate details but just talk to kids about if their being safe. Parents need to talk to their kids about the importance of safe sex by using condoms and birth control. They should buy their kids condoms and birth control, it might be scary thinking that your kid is having sex but would you rather them be safe? When I say talk to your kids I don't mean from across to chairs, in serious voice, while polishing your shotgun, I'm saying do it in a friendly environment like when your watching television together or at the dinner table. Don't talk to them about sex like if it were a drug or alcohol. It's something that you know they will do, so make sure they know how to do it safe.
In closing I would like to say that, we need to think about sex in a much more understanding reasonable way, in school sex education programs should cut out abstinence and replace it with contraception, focus on teaching the kids about ways to protect themselves instead of ways to sustain themselves. Make an environment where it is OK to ask question about sex, explain to them that sex is fun and exciting but can be dangerous if you're not smart.
tl;dr sex is not evil, teach safety instead of abstinence
I watched a movie called "Let's talk about sex" and I'm pretty much just outlining the movie, but I agree with the movie and the message so I think it should be spread.

The Craptacular is…
An independent web site bringing you irreverent, colorful commentary on Broadway and it's attendant community of artists and fans.
We strive to capture what's happening (or not happening) in theater, and what you love, love to hate, and just plain can't stand about it.
The number of things we love about theater: Infinite. The number of prisoners we take: Zero.
Recently The Craptacular's creators Lucky and The Mick:
- Wrote for Arts Beat, the New York Times' theater blog
- Spoke at the Public Theater's LAB Speaker Series
- Were named among the Top 100 Theater Tweeters to Follow on BroadwayWorld
- Were cited among the Best Theater Bloggers of 2011 by About.com
- Were named one of 10 Theater Tweeters To Know Right Now by The Huffington Post
We also have some policies and procedures you might want to know more about–you can check them out here.
Who We Are
Lucky is…
Laura Motta, a writer/editor/content whiz who's spent the last decade scribbling, strategizing, launching, refocusing, and voice-ifying for web sites big and small. Her New York City publishing life has included stints at Random House, EverydayHealth, iVillage/NBC Universal, Travelzoo, and ShermansTravel, where she is currently the Director of Publishing.
She is also a massive theater nerd who began her nonacting, nondirecting, noncareer in suburban Massachusetts while listening to lots of showtunes on compact disc, singing in the choruses of many a community theater musical, and generally hanging around stage doors. To this end, she has performed in Oliver!, Hello Dolly!, The Sound of Music, The King and I, The Crucible, and a very excellent mostly-Caucasian production of The Wiz.
As a writer, her work has appeared in The New York Times, Matador Network, airline magazines that no longer exist because the airlines themselves no longer exist, HowAboutWe, Backstage, and lots of other places, including the back flaps of bestselling cookbooks.
She graduated from Emerson College. For a little while, she lived in Paris where there are no musicals. When she's not traveling, she can be seen drinking coffee in Greenwich Village. She's curious to know what you're seeing this weekend…
The Mick is…
Also known as Aileen McKenna — haha, get it?! — a Long Island born and bred Creative Director, writer, and enthusiastic loudmouth. She's passionate about digital marketing, theater, beautiful shoes, Taylor Hanson and telling dirty jokes.
Her career in digital marketing began at the age of sixteen, when she started designing (and coding!) the website for a small software company near her hometown. It has continued with stints at several tech start-ups, an utterly massive corporate bank, and a brief detour through professional services marketing, which is much less dirty than it sounds. (She worked for architects.) Today she's the head creative honcho for the digital solutions group of an insurance direct marketing company, which is very niche, and she'll talk your ear off about it if you care to ask.
Her career as a writer, story-teller, and general filthy-joke maker probably began at birth, or maybe before, because she inherited all of those skills from a long line of loud, enthusiastic Irish people, just like she inherited a head full of really, really red hair. In addition to her work at The Craptauclar, she's honed those skills in places like Backstage Magazine, Stage Rush TV and Broadway Radio.
In her spare time — haha — Aileen is a rabid fangirl of very many things, including boys with tattoos, Irish Literature, and more recently, Harry Edward Styles. She's thrilled to talk about any and all of that to the extent that she probably never shuts up, but like, she wants to hear about what you love, too, so let's share.
He knew he had a problem with theater at age 7 when after seeing his first Broadway show, Les Miserables, he told his parents, "I liked it, but I wish there was more choreography." He's been writing about theater steadily since then, for a few years as theater editor for Rhode Island's Providence Monthly, and more recently on his own site, www.ninedaves.com — where his SMASH Reality Index recaps with Linda have become more entertaining than the show each week. He has a total crush on Raúl Esparza, Norbert Leo Butz, and Brian d'Arcy James. He also may have seen Xanadu more times than he'd like to admit. If you follow him on Twitter, expect way too many tweets about Newsies.
Lovely Linda
She's very excited to be writing for The Craptacular because she enjoys talking about cute boys in shows. Her current top three theater crushes are Justin Kirk, Michael Esper, and Jeremy Shamos, but this is subject to change by the week. She writes about Broadway on her site, Pataphysical Science, where you can read the SMASH Reality Index she writes with NineDaves, and on her Twitter @PataphysicalSci. She also writes features for TDF Stages and Broadway Direct. Her current favorite topic of conversation is Nick Jonas.
Mildly Bitter
Mildly Bitter's first Broadway musical was Starlight Express — roller skating trains y'all. But in the Webber v. Sondheim debate, there is no question she's a Sondheim girl all the way. She prefers plays to musicals but she's DYING for a City of Angels revival. She writes about US and UK theater and can't stop talking about her favorite human, UK storyteller and comedian Daniel Kitson, at mildlybitter.blogspot.com. She's juggling a lot of major talent crushes right now including ones on actors Brandon Dirden, Jeanine Serralles and Steve Rosen, the theater company The Civilians, director Sam Gold, playwrights Annie Baker and Will Eno, and guitar player Bryce Dessner. Follow @MildlyBitter on twitter where she won't shut up about them. Of course she'll buy a ticket to any show which includes the sights and sounds of Will Chase, Jason Danieley, Colin Donnell, Claybourne Elder, Jeremy Jordan or Steven Pasquale. She's only human after all.

Let us say a car was speeding and bumped into another car and causing an accident. Let us say that although no one was hurt, it very easily could have turned out differently that people would have been killed.
Would that make the driver into a Roidef whilst driving? Would he therefore be exempt from paying because of Kom Lei Bedraboh Mineh?
