Your arms and legs, etc do not have "powe r" in them.
That being said, are you by chance left-handed? When moving energy to direct it at a magical goal one normally projects the energy flowing through you with the dominant hand. So if you're left-handed you would send out the energy to accomplish that goal through your left arm. It's not that your arm is "powerful" but that it is a conduit for energy.
Both hands can be used, but more often then not one uses one's dominant hand to project energy.

A local leader is changing his mind about the presence of officers in schools in the wake of the school shooting that killed 26 people last month in Newtown, Conn.
Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Cory Stewart originally pushed to cut the number of police officers in county schools due to budget problems. He estimated the cuts could save around $500,000 in the new fiscal budget.
However, Stewart is now pushing to increase the number of school resource officers throughout the county.

Clinton warns Dems not to stir gun passions too hard…and a few other tid bits
Former President Bill Clinton warned a group of top Democratic donors at a private Saturday meeting not to underestimate the passions that gun control stirs among many Americans.
"Do not patronize the passionate supporters of your opponents by looking down your nose at them," Clinton said.
"A lot of these people live in a world very different from the world lived in by the people proposing these things," Clinton said. "I know because I come from this world."
Clinton said that Republicans have been struggling in presidential politics since 1992 — noting that 2004 was the only time a Republican has won the popular vote in more than 20 years. But, he said, the party has been successful in energizing its supporters for midterm elections.
"You have the power to really democratize America," Clinton said. "You can do it on immigration reform, you can do it on these economic issues. You can do it on implementing the health care bill."
But, Clinton warned, the issue of guns has a special emotional resonance in many rural states — and simply dismissing pro-gun arguments is counterproductive.
Clinton ought to know about all these things. He was born and raised in Arkansas. It doesn't get more southern and rural than Arkansas. Clinton also should know what its like to be vilified and hated. I remember well how hated he was by the right wing of the Republican Party–hated so much he was accused of murdering his friend Vince Foster who had committed suicide.

Festival created to help curb violence
The City of Sydney has backed the organisers of a new festival in the Kings Cross nightclub district to help change the culture of violence and anti-social behaviour in the area.
The Council and State Government have been trying to tackle violence in the area since the death of Thomas Kelly after he was king hit earlier this year.
The inaugural Kings Cross Festival will be held over five days next month and Lord Mayor Clover Moore says entertainment is a powerful way to manage crowds.
Ms Moore says she hopes the musical and other attractions of the festival will help to change the character of Kings Cross.
"The young people who are attracted to this area every Friday and Saturday night are going to start engaging with some real entertainment rather than just, you know, getting pissed and bashing up their friends," she said.
"So, you know, we know that's what goes on and we know that there are terrible fights around the taxi ranks at three and four am and we know that residents here are, you know, really over all of that."

I'm not entirely sure on the issue you're having. You say the slim trousers ruffle too much on standard shoes, but then you say they're only okay when standing dead still (which is where I'd expect them to ruffle more), so I'm a little confused. Unless you're using the term "ruffle" to describe something other than the "break" of the trousers.
Where do you want the trousers to sit on the standard shoes, and where do you want them to sit on the loafers? I can't really suggest anything further without more of an idea on that. My personal preference with slim trousers is to have them sit naturally on the shoe (which with my slimmest is only just on the top) with a little break so that they look long enough, but at the same time not too bunched up.
As for the link you provided, I think the trousers are breaking too much in the opening image with the loafers, whereas the image before with the tan brogues they're sitting nicely. However, further on there's an image with the loafers where he's holding a bag, and they look fine there.

HOUSTON — Shares for Houston-based Cheniere Energy gave reached a record high this week after the company announced its first deal to liquefy and ship natural gas from a planned facility in Corpus Christi to Indonesia.
Shares in Cheniere set a record Thursday and then jumped past $44.72 during trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, a dollar more than the previous high of $43.72 set on April 21, 2006. The company's stock has jumped more than 13 percent this week.
Cheniere owns the Sabine Pass export facility under construction in Louisiana that is slated to be the first to ship U.S. natural gas overseas, but the company's Corpus Christi project is still a work in progress.
The new contract for the $12 billion Corpus Christi project, announced late Wednesday, was a major milestone for the company. It also had components that were more lucrative than prior liquefied natural gas contracts signed by Cheniere.
In the deal, Pertamina, an Indonesian state-owned energy company, agreed to buy 0.8 million tons per year of liquefied natural gas from the Corpus Christi site. That total is a small fraction of the project's planned capacity of 13.5 million tons per year.

As with other contracts signed by Cheniere, Pertamina will pay a fixed rate to reserve the gas liquefaction capacity at Corpus Christi for 20 years, even if it does not actually choose to take its full quota of gas at any given time.
The fixed rate for the contract of $3.50 per million British thermal units was higher than Cheniere's prior contracts to ship natural gas from Sabine Pass. All of the contracts signed for Sabine Pass so far have had a fixed rate of $3 or less per million British thermal units of liquefaction capacity reserved through the deals.
A variable component of the deal maintained terms similar to prior Cheniere contracts, with Pertamina agreeing to pay a 15-percent premium on any gas that it liquefies and ships.
Cheniere has been attempting to get higher rates for its new contracts to ship gas from Corpus Christi and from an expected expansion at Sabine Pass. But the company is now competing for customers with other projects that have been approved for exports or have been backed by much larger competitors, such as Exxon Mobil.

jQuery is an awesome JavaScript library that can do some very heavy lifting in very small amounts of code. Take the example below where we are simply removing a div element from the DOM.
Here is the HTML code:

Remove me by clicking the button below.

<button onclick="removeDiv('removeMe');">Remove</button>
Line 1 defines the div element with id=
removeMe that we are planning to vanquish from the DOM. There is some inline CSS thrown in for aesthetics and I apologize for that. It just makes the div easier to visualize.
Line 2 is our button where the
onclick event calls the
removeDiv JavaScript function. In addition, the id of the div is passed over as an argument to the function.
Simple enough. Now to the more exciting stuff.
Here is the JavaScript code:
function removeDiv(divId) {
That's it and that is why I <3 jQuery =)
Let's break down line 2 because there is actually quite a bit that is going on here with 22 characters.
$("#"+divId) is jQuery syntax which uses the ID selector to help us select our div. The divId parameter is appended to the ID selector so that the function is dynamic and can handle any div or element in the DOM. When a user clicks the button, the
removeMe argument is passed over so the selector becomes
$("#removeMe") after the variable is interpolated.
Ok, so now we have selected our div element, we want to remove it from the DOM. This is where the
.remove() jQuery function comes in handy. Simply append this function to the selected element and the rest is history.
Oh but the fun does not stop here. With the use of the all-mighty jQuery selector, we can easily remove multiple elements at once. Looky here.
Here is the HTML and CSS code:

Horror filmmaker Eli Roth fantasizes about torturing Kate Hudson on the big screen.
"The Hostel" director has had Bijou Phillips and Jordan Ladd tortured in his movies, but would love to see romantic comedy queen Hudson in a gritty horror role.
He tells Details magazine, "I'd love to torture her. But then again, sitting through one of her romantic comedies is its own form of torture.
"If I had to choose between watching 'Raising Helen' or vomiting because of something I'd seen on the screen in 'Hostel: Part II,' I'd pick the vomit every time."

Lykov is in the cushiest position possible for a male model here in Milan – on a Gucci exclusive. He works with the designers all week doing fittings and looks, doesn't have to go to any castings, walks in just one show, and gets paid fairly well too. I would say it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, but I won't – he was rooting for Italy in the game. But who can blame him. It makes sense to support those who support you.

Chemical security bill passes House HSC
The full House Homeland Security Committee (HSC) passed H.R. 5695, the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006, last Friday before leaving town for the August recess. Stories in GovExec and the Bergen (NJ) Record provide a solid rundown of the markup. The bill contains language which would allow DHS to mandate inherently safer technologies in certain extreme instances (and with review) as well as language that makes clear that states would be allowed to set stronger standards. Overall, these seem like sensible security-focused compromises.
These developments apparently took chemical industry lobbyists by surprise, according to a subscription-only story in CQ today, which also suggests that industry leaders are now looking more fondly at the Collins-Lieberman bill that they had fought so hard (with partial success) to water down, and then did nothing to stop Sen. Inhofe from blocking. The National Petrochemical & Refiners Association issued a press release on Monday bashing the House's bill.
Why did the Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee decide to pass a bill that contradicts the wishes of the chemical industry? Perhaps it has something to do with the political vulnerability of many House Republicans in this election season. The parts of the country (Northeast, upper Midwest) where chemical plants are concentrated are also the areas where Republicans are facing particularly tough races, compounding this vulnerability. This issue could become a real liability for Republican candidates if they are seen to be blocking sensible legislation that would improve the security of millions of people. The Democrats in Congress apparently sense opportunity on this issue, as witnessed by Sen. Schumer's events in upstate NY on chemical security last week.
Perhaps this dynamic increases the likelihood of the passage of sensible chemical security legislation in this session of Congress. If that's what it takes to get the job done, then so be it. The important thing is to get a bill signed into law that addresses this long-standing vulnerability in our nation's security.

Sylvia critic is defendant in court case
A Co Fermanagh-based solicitor has been listed as a defendant in a Dublin court action launched by aggrieved overseas property investors.
Solicitor Seymour Major — a prominent Conservative Party member in Northern Ireland — has said he will be strongly contesting the proceedings, which relate to an Indian investment project.
The main focus of the case is on an Irish businessman and his property company.
Mr Major is named as the third defendant due to a past role as a legal adviser to the firm.
The solicitor told the Belfast Telegraph yesterday that he will be strongly defending himself in the case, but could make no further comment at this stage.
The case is being taken through the Republic's legal system against businessman Kieran Murphy and his property investment firm Kuvera Ireland.
It has been initiated by the Kuvera Action Group, representing people who invested money into two Kuvera-promoted property development projects in north east India.
These development plans have stalled and the investors are now seeking to recoup almost €9 million (£7.8m).
Their case will be heard in the Commercial Court.
In a statement last month, Kuvera Ireland said it had not misappropriated any funds but was concerned that investors' monies may have been mismanaged by Indian-based companies.
It also stated that it had commissioned an investigation into the situation in India.
Mr Major's law firm, Seymour Major Solicitors, is based in Enniskillen.
He comments on Northern Ireland politics from a Conservative perspective on his blog website ' Tory Story'.
It hit the headlines last month with a call for action to be taken by the UUP over Lady Sylvia Hermon.
The website noted that she had made no commitment on supporting her party's electoral link-up with the Tories.
Lady Sylvia has subsequently stated that she will not be standing on a joint Conservative-UUP ticket at the next General Election.

Notebook: Club more good than lucky
Credit: AP
Some 11-4 records are the product of luck. Others are legitimate and earned, however, and a perusal of the stats makes it clear where the Red Sox fall on the spectrum. In virtually every measure of offense, defense and pitching, the Red Sox rank among the American League leaders, which is why their success early this season doesn't remotely appear to be a mirage.
"It's fun to watch," starter Jon Lester said after completing a sweep of the Indians on Thursday night in Cleveland. "Guys take the extra base. They're aggressive, but also under control. The at-bats guys are putting together just fouling off pitches and grinding them out, it's been fun. And then seeing our bullpen come in and doing what they've been doing lately.
"You can't put your finger on one thing. Everybody's doing what they need to do and we're playing good baseball right now."
Consider the team's rankings in the following categories, entering yesterday's games. Offensively, the Sox rated among the AL's best in runs per game (5.0, third), steals (15, first), on-base percentage (.333, fourth), and OPS (.745, sixth).
Defensively, they're second in fielding percentage (.996), with only two errors for the entire season. They also lead the league in defensive efficiency (.731), a more advanced stat that measures the percentage of balls in play converted into outs.
But best of all has been their pitching. The Sox lead the AL in ERA (2.69) by almost a half a run over second-place Texas. Their pitchers are also second in strikeouts (149) and WHIP (1.134), while allowing the fewest hits per nine innings in the league (6.9) and the most strikeouts per nine (10.0).
Red Sox starters have allowed three runs or fewer in all 15 games, the longest such streak to start a season since the 1981 A's ran off 16 straight.
"We're trying to play the game right, take the extra base and do the little things to help us win the ballgame," second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. "We've been doing that lately, and we've got to continue to do that."
Ortiz' return
The postponement of last night's game against the Royals also postponed the return of slugger David Ortiz.
With the city locked down by the manhunt for the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, Ortiz found himself waiting one more day to make his 2013 debut after missing the start of the season because of lingering soreness from last year's Achilles injury.
His teammates can't wait to see Big Papi reclaim his spot in the middle of the order.
"It's going to help us out a lot to have a hitter like him come in our lineup," said Mike Napoli, who began the day tied for third in the AL in RBI (17) while picking up the slack during Ortiz' absence.
"We're playing good baseball, but having him in there is going to make us better — a lot better. We all can't wait. We wanted him at the start of the season. We want him to be right and healthy."

Australian Jon Johanson has done what no other homebuilder has done with his or her aircraft. He has flown it around the world, not once, but three times.
Jon's adventures have taken place during the summers (Northern Hemisphere) in 1995, 1996, and 2000. The information here on our site is an article that was compiled by Jeremy Benedict about Jon's first two flights.
Jon Johanson appears to be a normal man and he had what is, for pilots at least, a normal dream. He wanted to build an airplane and fly it to Oshkosh. Oh, there were a couple of small problems: people told him he was not capable of building an airplane, he
didn't have the money or place to do it if he was, and he lived in Darwin, on the north coast of Australia, about 10,000 nautical miles from Wisconsin, on the far side of the world's biggest ocean. Well, it turns out this ordinary fellow is capable of extraordinary things.
Jon, a 38 year old nurse-midwife now living near Adelaide, did not aim from boyhood to follow in the footsteps of Charles Kingsford-Smith or Gordon Taylor.
"I was never good in school...actually, I was pretty awful" Jon recalls. "Corporal punishment was common in Australia when I was in grade school. We got a whack every time we missed a word on a spelling test. Spelling tests were always ten words, and I regularly got seven or eight thumps."
This kind of encouragement went on for several years. "I never quite quit, but the message I got from school was that I was too "thick" to amount to much, so I shouldn't expect much out of life. So for a long time, I didn't. I just got by, day to day, not thinking much about anything."
Out of school, Jon ended up as a carpenter's apprentice. It wasn't something he particularly wanted to do, but when you don't think much about the future, one thing is as good as another. He found himself on a small crew, building homes.
"We poured concrete, framed structures, hung doors and windows, everything except maybe the wiring and plumbing. And we did it in all kinds of weather." Jon says. He found he could hold his own, could learn what he had to to get a job done. Nobody on the crew seemed to think of him as anyone special, but they weren't calling him thick, either.
One day, on a lunch break, he was talking with one of the older guys on the crew. Somehow, the subject turned to flying, something that had begun tickling around in the back of Jon's brain. Whenever he had thought about it consciously, though, he had pushed it away. Flying was something for other, brighter, types; certainly not something for someone thick or slow.
Jon's companion had been around, and in the course of his woodworking career had spent some time working for an aero club, repairing wood gliders.
"I dunno," he said, "Didn't seem to me that the chaps flying those aeroplanes were so different. They all learned how, one step at a time, same as you're doing here. They'd make mistakes and fix 'em. Sometimes they'd make mistakes, and I'd fix 'em. But they were an ordinary bunch, having a good time... seems to me you could do it if you wanted..."
Two weeks later Jon was at the local airfield. He found that flying lessons cost $25.00 an hour. He was making $27.00 a week. Even so, he managed a lesson every second or third week....
Not long after he got his license, construction work began drying up and even though he had successfully completed his apprenticeship, he found it difficult to stay employed. His mother had always been interested in health and medicine, but the realities of raising four children had kept her from pursuing it as a career. Jon must have inherited some of the fascination, because he made the decision to pursue a new career as a nurse.
He enrolled at a hospital -- at the time, most nurses in Australia were graduated from hospital programs with a certificate, rather than from a university with a degree. The programs were focused and intense. Jon, who arrived a day late to begin the course, was behind from the start.
He ground away the days in the hospital and classroom, the nights studying. Even after the successes of his apprenticeship and achieving his pilot's license, he could hear echoes of his earlier schooling...maybe he just wasn't smart enough to keep up. He never quite failed, but his grades floated around in the lower strata. The final exams at school were tough and it took him two tries to pass. And there was the final hurdle; the dreaded Board Exams, necessary to gain the certificate and practice. Wrung out by months of work and strain, Jon knew he simply did not have the reserves to "sit the exam" more than once. He just could not afford to fail, even though the exams were so difficult it often took top students more than one try.
"I threw everything I had into it. I come from a religious family, and my mother and grandmother prayed. My mother asked God to see me through and keep me from despair if I didn't make it, but my Gran wasn't settling for that! She more or less told Him that she wouldn't settle for anything less than my passing with honors -- a "distinction", we call it." And this time, when the marks were posted, there it was: Jon Johanson, with distinction.
"Never underestimate your Gran." says Jon.
After graduation, Jon left Australia for a six month stint in the shattered country of Cambodia. He ended up staying two years. "Until you do something like that, you have NO idea how fortunate you are to live in a country like the US or Australia." he remembers. "We kept people alive, even healed them, in conditions where it didn't seem possible. I don't think I even started to realize, until then, what people could do if they really, truly, had to."
When Jon left Cambodia, he settled in Sydney, in southeastern Australia. He soon tired of the politics of nursing and besides, the flying bug had bitten again. He free-lanced in local clinics and slowly paid his way through flight training, eventually gaining the Australian equivalent of the ATP.
"In Australia, to get a entry level flying job, you have to know someone or get lucky, "Jon says. "I got lucky."
Luck came in the form of a Partenavia, a light fixed gear twin. Jon flew charter work out of Darwin, ferrying people and goods in and out of strips all over Northern Australia. Rules restricted charter pilots to a certain number of hours a month, but in the relative remoteness of Darwin, they weren't always strictly observed. "I'm not saying I flew more than I was supposed too" Jon grins. "I'm just saying I flew a lot. Quite a lot."
Droning away in the Partenavia, dreams of having his own airplane, something that helped him through some bad times, resurfaced. Neither nursing or flying paid enough for him to even consider a factory airplane, so his ideas began to revolve around homebuilts. When he heard rumors about an homebuilt project in Darwin, he tracked it down. He walked into the workshop, and there was an airplane he had heard about before, in Cambodia. Something called an RV-4.
"This thing was just the ticket. Rugged, simple, went fast, went slow, could handle bush strips. But I didn't know anything about metal or how to build with it, and I didn't want to get into something I couldn't handle, so I didn't do anything." Still, he couldn't stay away, and every time he was in Darwin, he stopped by to see how the RV was coming. Finally, the builder, in exasperation, asked Jon when he was going to quit looking and start building his own airplane. "I gave him the usual excuses." Jon remembers, laughing. "No money, no tools, no place to work, no skills..."
"I'll bet you've got a thousand dollars somewhere." the builder challenged him. Jon allowed that he reckoned he could scrape a grand together.
"Well, then," said the builder, sweeping a load of scrap off a workbench with a crash. "Here's your place, there's your tools, and I'll show you what to do when you need it. What's your next excuse?" Jon didn't have one. The order went to the States the next week.

Burnout At Work Can Burn Out Your Heart – The Daily Orbit
Why you need to take a break for your heart's sake.
What's bursting onto the astronomy scene.
Don't drink and drive says your iPhone.
And men have it so easy on today's Daily Orbit!
Hello and welcome to the Daily Orbit. I'm Emerald Robinson.
Happy Pi Day everyone! It's March 14th, and we're celebrating this very special little mathematic constant—the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter! Gotta love Pi! Great, now I'm hungry!
Punching the clock might be puttin' a hurtin' on your old ticker. A new study says that burnout and stress at work can lead to coronary heart disease—the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries that can lead to angina or heart attacks. Burnout can result from high stress, heavy workloads, lack of control over your job situation, a lack of emotional support, and long work hours. The new research suggests that burnout is a stronger predictor of coronary heart disease than more classical risk factors like smoking and physical activity. The team says these findings are valuable for preventative medicine, and doctors should more closely monitor their stressed out patients. My prescription? Take a vacation! Just what the doctor ordered!
Scientists have discovered that the most vigorous bursts of star births in the universe took place much earlier than previously thought. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array telescope, scientists were able to see some of the most distant starburst galaxies ever observed, formed when the universe was a baby…a wee one billion years old. Starburst galaxies convert reservoirs of gas and dust into new stars hundreds of times faster than in spiral galaxies like our own. To pinpoint the distance of the galaxies, the team had to compensate for gravitational lensing, where light from a distant galaxy is distorted by the gravitational influence of a nearer foreground galaxy, which acts like a lens and makes the distant source appear brighter. I love how our universe is considered young at a billion years old.
Add this to the list of things your iPhone can do—be your own portable breathalyzer. Starting in July, you can make sure you're good to drive. This tiny little breathalyzer plugs right into your iPhone through the headphones jack. You just blow into and it to get your blood alcohol content. Although the company is still raising funds for the device on Indiegogo, you can pre-order yours today for a July shipment for $100. Wanna save a little? Wait til January and pay as little as $25. But if you have a tendency to not know when you've had enough, I suggest throwing down the extra $75. Don't drink and drive.
And here's another discovery of something really, really old. Under 505 million year-old rock layers, scientists have unearthed a strange looking phallus-shaped creature in Canada's Yoho National Park's Burgess Shale fossil beds. Scientists believe this creature is a member of the acorn worm family. Now this new discovery pushes the fossil record of acorn worms back 200 million years and changes our understanding of evolution from this period. These spaghetti-shaped, soft-bodied creatures left little record of themselves as they don't have teeth and bones. These little creatures were important as they connected the two main hemichordate groups: the acorn worms and a phylum of marine worms. Spaghetti anyone?
And why is everything easier on men? A new study says that men handle sleep deprivation better than women. Researchers say that a lack of sleep can be very dangerous for women putting them at a risk of developing heart disease, blot clots, depression or other psychological problems. Also sleep deprived women have higher inflammation markers, meaning they're more likely to be in pain throughout the day. And don't make a tired woman mad! Lack of sleep in women increases feelings of hostility, depression, and anger. But why is it so much harder on women than men? Because we multi-task meaning, guys, we use our brain more so we need more repair work at night. Just further proof that men often don't use their brains.
Well that does it for the Daily Orbit. Mmm pie.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn (WVLT) -- National Coal Corporation is selling it's Kentucky coal operation.
The Knoxville-based company announced today it reached an agreement with Xinergy Corp., to sell it's Kentucky Straight Creek operations, for approximately $11 million in cash.
The Company intends to use the sale proceeds to repay its $10 million senior secured term loan scheduled to mature in December 2008.
"This sale will facilitate a number of positive changes for us," said National Coal President and CEO Daniel Roling. "It will improve liquidity, strengthen our balance sheet with the early repayment of debt, and allow us to focus our production activities on those properties that we believe give us greater flexibility to react to the growing demand for coal we expect to experience this year."

In his new book, The Last Goodnights: Assisting My Parents with Their Suicides , lawyer and author John West publicly tells a story that most people would have kept silent. He does it so that one day others may be able to kill openly and without fear. That's not how West puts it, of course, but I'm afraid that's what it boils down to.
West's parents were prestigious psychiatrists. As West wrote, "Neither was at all religious, but both had deep insight into the human condition. . . . And they knew what they wanted."
What they wanted was to die "on [their] own terms." When West's father was diagnosed with cancer, he asked his son for help in taking his own life. In West's mother's case, "advancing cognitive decline" led her to fear that she would "turn into a bowl of Jell-O in her head." A couple of weeks after West assisted his father's suicide, his mother made the same request.
It's hard to listen to West talk about his parents' deaths, as he recently did on NPR's Diane Rehm Show . As he describes it, when talking about their impending deaths, his parents kept resorting to euphemisms like "do the trick" and "achieve the goal."
No euphemism, however, can do away with the stark reality of death and what West had to do to kill them. For instance, he had to wake his father, who was groggy from pain pills given to him by a hospice worker, in order to take the extra pills that would kill him. West admitted that his father might not have finished taking the pills had he, the son, not fed them to him.
In California, these acts were against the law, but as West proclaimed on Rehm's show, "Everyone in the medical world knows that it happens all the time." (As it happens, both a doctor and a hospice worker contacted Rehm to disagree.) At any rate, West considered this a case where "it was more important to do the right thing than to follow the letter of the law."
So, according to West, murder of an innocent is the right thing?
West is publicizing how he helped kill his parents to promote assisted suicide, which he wants to see legalized.
But as West's story itself shows, our culture and our legal system have already begun to acquiesce to murder, to the point where more and more of these assisted suicide cases are allowed to slip by. Diane Rehm asked West whether he might face any legal repercussions for his actions. His response was that he had heard nothing from the authorities so far.
No good can come of allowing people to kill others—even if they claim they were acting out of the most purely humanitarian motives. The authorities need to uphold the law.
Make no mistake: Legalizing assisted suicide is a big step on a dangerous and slippery slope, especially in a world where human life is growing cheaper by the minute. We've already seen that legalizing assisted suicide has led to non-voluntary euthanasia in the Netherlands. And we've talked recently on BreakPoint about how increasing health-care costs have spurred Britain to deny certain citizens life-prolonging treatment.
I will say it over and over, until I am blue in the face: Every human life, from conception through natural death, is sacred. And to take that life unjustly is simply murder—the kind of thing the state has a sworn duty to stop.

Abstract: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder that affects about 9%–13% of the general population. IBS is one of the main reasons to consult a primary care physician, and nearly 30% of visits to a gastroenterologist are for IBS. The diagnosis of IBS relies on subjective, patient-reported symptoms, thus making urgent the need for IBS-specific biomarkers. The same biomarkers, or perhaps different ones, can also be used to monitor disease evolution and response to treatment. A significant number of studies have looked in the immune system for establishing IBS biomarkers, based on the concept that IBS might represent a condition of immune dysregulation somewhere in the spectrum between health and inflammatory bowel disease. Such biomarkers can be detected in blood, intestinal biopsies, or luminal contents. Overall, results are rarely consistent between studies; small sample size, patient and disease heterogeneity, presence of comorbidities, and variation in sampling might contribute to these discrepancies. So far, studies have failed to provide a diagnostic immune biomarker for IBS, but they have considerably advanced our understanding of the disease pathophysiology, including the role of the individual's genetic make-up, and of the host–microbial interactions. High throughput analysis of a large number of well characterized patients holds promise for developing appropriate biomarkers for IBS.

Color Ablation/ Depainting
Efficient Removal of Colors and Lacquers
|テキスト The cutting in two dimensions is a domain of the CO2 laser. Typical cutting speeds for mild steel are for example at 18m/min for 1 mm, 4.5 m/min for 3 mm and 1.5 m/min for 8 mm material strength. Basically, the cutting of metals with lasers happens through the local heating of the material above its melting point in the focal point of the focused laser. The resulting molten material is ejected by a gas flow oriented coaxially to the laser beam so that a kerf is formed.
|テキスト For low-alloyed steels in particular, oxygen is typically used as cutting gas. At the moment the maximal processable counter thickness for laser flame cutting of steel is approximately at 25 mm.

I can't believe it…I'm back! Thank you all for understanding that sometimes a gal just needs a bit of a blogging break now and then. I was so fortunate to be able to spend the past two weeks with my little family to enjoy Christmas and New Year's. Being able to just spend time together was a fantastic and much needed break, but now I'm back and ready to start sharing with all of you again.
I love January for so many reasons. It's a fresh start on the year, it's my birthday month, and it's the time of year when I absolutely love to get organized. One small way I always try to stay organized on a day to day basis is to carry a mini notepad with me anywhere I go. I know in this day of iPhones that a lot of people don't do the whole "pencil & paper" thing anymore, but I know I always will be a sucker for jotting down a nice old fashioned list!
While I was organizing my craft supplies {because I'll be honest, it looked like a bomb went off in my office closet}, I found these cute little notepads that I had purchased this past summer at the Target Dollar Spot and some black glittery letter stickers. Instant {and free–well kind of} project!
I simply added stickers to personalize the notepads so they felt a little more "me."
On one, I just put the letter M for my first name…
I figured that I'd use this notepad to jot down quick lists for the grocery store or errands that I had to run that day.
And on the second, I added the word "ideas"…
This one will serve as my blog project idea notepad. I don't know about you, but I always get inspired to create while I'm out during the day {at the grocery store, sitting at a red light, you name it really}. Having this little notepad will definitely help me to remember those great ideas that pop out at me!
How do you stay organized on the go?
Linking up here!

Recently, as I sat across a table interviewing a nice person, I started to worry I might be staring into his eyes and/or at his face too much. (Not in a romantic way.) Was I coming across as a creeper? But then when I tried looking off in the distance or over his shoulder, I worried I looked like I was bored with what he was saying. The interview was on a deeply personal topic (why yes, it was cancer) and he was super interesting.
Luckily he mostly looked other places as he was talking, which seemed normal, so maybe my intense (?) staring wasn't freaking him out, but when he did look at my face, I felt like maybe there was too much mutual staring going on.
I'm so awkward sometimes! At least, I frequently feel awkward. Feeling awkward probably means I am awkward. I tell myself it's because I'm a writer and writers are sometimes lacking in finer social skills, but it's probably just me.
How often should you look directly at someone's face while they're talking? What about while you're talking? It seems to me that if you're the one doing the talking, it's OK to look away because obviously you're engaged in the conversation if you're the one talking. But if you aren't the one talking, maybe it's incumbent on you to look at the other person while he's talking?
So after a while I decided to look at his chin instead of in his eyes, but then I felt like maybe I was overthinking the whole thing and he'd wonder if he had something on his chin. So I went back to looking at his eyes, which sounds weird but I swear I wasn't trying to be.
I got back to the office and on my Facebook feed was a Mashable link to this article about how it's generally not a good idea to look someone in the eyes.
In my defense, I used to have this friend who never, ever looked at me when we were talking. She was always looking over my shoulder, as if she was looking around for someone more interesting to talk to. It was off-putting.
I know what you're thinking: she was probably trying to avoid your creepy-intense eye contact! But I did mention her weird habit to mutual friends and they all experienced the same thing. So it isn't just me. Really.
Which leaves me with the question of where to look during interviews. Any help from you non-creepers out there would be appreciated.

Connecticut owners praise Obama's possible choices for first dog
Published 1:00 am, Monday, January 12, 2009
And while its name isn't known yet, we have a pretty good idea of what it will be like -- medium-size, curly-haired, smart, and not sneeze provoking.
That's because the two finalists for first dog that President-elect
Barack Obama
mentioned over the weekend are a Portuguese water dog and a Labradoodle.
Fanciers of both breeds think they are a great pick.
"Portuguese water dogs love attention. They need a lot of activity and they love to travel," said
Elyse Shapiro
of Redding, who has had three of the dogs, including Brenna, her latest. "They'll go anywhere. And they don't smell and they don't shed."
Peg Thomas of Ridgefield is equally enthusiastic about her Labradoodle, Yankee.
"I've had a lot of dogs in my life -- shepherds, Norwich terriers, Labradors, rescue mutts," Thomas said.
Yankee "is the best dog I've ever owned. He is so smart, so wise, so kind -- all wrapped up in one big body," she said. "And they shed so little."
"Oh, my God," said
Eileen Zeid
of Redding, who owns two Labradoodles, Yoshi and Genghis. "They are the best dogs in the world."
The Portuguese water dog has the longer lineage, going back hundreds of years. Similar dogs -- compact, curly-haired, and great swimmers -- may have been aboard the ships of the Spanish Armada in the 16th century.
According to the
American Kennel Club
, Portuguese fishermen trained them to retrieve broken nets and tackle-dive for fish, carry messages between boats and shore, and guard the master's boat.
Lisa Wiley
, of Bethany, who breeds Portuguese water dogs -- including Brenna -- said there is one big drawback to the breed. They're sociable in the extreme. Left alone, they get bored and into mischief.
"They don't like to be left alone for any length of time," she said. "They're super-smart, but they're super-needy. If you don't like a dog that wants to follow you into the bathroom, you don't want one."
Labradoodles can't be purebreds. They're a deliberate cross between a standard poodle and a Labrador retriever. First bred in Australia in 1989 for people who needed a guide dog but were allergic to dog hair, they are -- like poodles -- dander-free.
"That's why we have them," said Zeid, whose husband, David, has allergies.
Bred properly, they can combine the best of the two lines.
"They have all the intelligence of a poodle and all of the warm, loving nature of Labradors," Zeid said.
The problem with Labradoodles is that since they caught on a lot of people have been breeding Labs and poodles, and Labradoodles to other Labradoodles, indiscriminately. The mix isn't always a good one, or even a hypoallergenic one.
"The breed has taken off, and people are charging humungous prices for them," Thomas said.
Obama said Sunday his family hopes to get a rescue dog -- one that's been abandoned and needs a home.
Thomas, one of the founders of ROAR -- Ridgefield Operation for Animal Rescue -- said the Obamas should be commended for doing this, but they'll have to chose carefully and work hard to make sure a rescue dog is a good match for them.
Amy Bolotin
, ROAR's shelter director, said the process takes some patience.
"It takes an adopted dog two to six months just to know the routine," she said. "It has to know it's in a safe place and that it's cared for."

Obama's options Portuguese water dog Have worked with sailors for centuries. Males are 20 to 23 inches tall and weigh 42 to 60 pounds. Females 17 to 21 inches tall and weigh 35 to 50 pounds. Coat can be wavy or curly. Can be black, white brown, or a combination of black or brown with white. Is spirited, brave, and very resistant to fatigue. Exceptionally intelligent, loyal and obedient. "It obeys its master with facility and apparent pleasure," the American Kennel Club says. Current celebrity owner is U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy . Labradoodle A cross between a Labrador retriever and a poodle. First seriously bred in Australia in the late 1980s. Size can vary greatly. Crosses between a Labrador and standard poodles can be 24 inches tall and weigh 70 pounds. Crosses between Labs and miniature poodles are much smaller. Colors can range from black to brown to apricot to reddish-brown. Coats are often thick and curly, like a poodle's. Very intelligent and affectionate. Current celebrity owners are Vice President-elect Joseph Biden , golfer Tiger Woods , actress Jennifer Aniston .

Middle class tax rescues and budget reconciliation
If I were the President, and I wanted to make sure a budget reconciliation initiative with agreed-upon changes to health care reform got 51 votes, maybe introducing some mild tax relief to middle class families is just the ticket.
Because I wouldn't want to be the politician running for office who voted against giving those families a much-needed tax cut, would you?

Internal divisions hinder EU's ability to broker Middle East peace
Using trade ties to push for peace worked well in the Balkans but not in Ukraine
European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso: on a trip to Israel last month he said the EU could offer a "special privileged partnership" to both Israel and a future Palestinian state. Photograph: Gil Cohen Magen/AFP/Getty Images.
Foreign policy moved to the top of the EU agenda this week following the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.
But while Tuesday's meeting of foreign affairs ministers was dominated by renewed debate over sanctions against Russia, the current conflict in the Middle East also featured high on the agenda.
An official EU policy on the Arab-Israeli conflict stretches back more than 40 years. In 1971 the European Community made its first official statement on the issue in the Schuman document. Its subsequent policy was punctuated by a series of landmark statements, such as the 1980 Venice Declaration which recognised the right to existence for all states in the region, including Israel, as well as the rights of the Palestinian people.
This was followed by the Berlin Declaration of 1999, which included a commitment to the creation of a Palestinian state, and the more detailed Seville Declaration of 2002. The EU, along with the US, UN and Russia, is also a member of the so-called Quartet, which launched the road map for peace in 2002.
The European Union's official position on the Middle East is that it supports a "two-state solution with an independent, democratic, viable Palestinian state living side-by-side with Israel and its other neighbours". But, as is often the case with foreign policy, the EU is in fact divided, with member states such as Germany, the Netherlands and east European countries wary of criticising Israel, while countries such as Ireland and Sweden are more willing to see the Palestinian perspective.
FundingMuch of the debate over EU policy on the Middle East centres on funding. The EU is one of the biggest funders to the Palestinian territories, contributing more than €5.6 billion in assistance since 1994. Much of this is in the form of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza through the PEGASE programme, with Ireland, Spain and Austria, for example, participating in the latest EU disbursement announced this month.
On the other hand, EU taxpayers also contribute to Israel through the EU's science and research programme, which falls under the remit of Irish EU Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn. Israel is one of a number of non-EU countries that have joint agreements with the EU allowing researchers and universities to access EU funding. Some €780 million went to Israeli companies between 2007 and 2013 , with Israel contributing €530 million.
The relationship hit a stumbling block last year when Geoghegan-Quinn's department moved to enforce the EU's policy of prohibiting funding for activities undertaken in occupied territories after it emerged that some Israeli companies with factories in the occupied territories had received EU funding.
Although Israel threatened to pull out of the "Horizon 2020" joint programme, ultimately it signed up to the agreement, allowing Israeli researchers access to the EU's €77 billion programme which runs until 2020.
On a trip to Israel last month, the president of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso spoke of the role the EU could play in encouraging peace and prosperity in the Middle East, by offering a "Special privileged partnership" – a form of enhanced bilateral agreements – to both Israel and a future Palestinian state.
The notion of using greater political and trade ties with the EU to promote peace is something that has long been deployed as a tool to encourage peace-building and development on the EU's fringes – successfully in the Balkans, less successfully in Ukraine.
Tentative promisesThe conflict in Ukraine, directly linked to the last-minute decision of the Ukrainian government to pull out of an association agreement with the European Union, illustrates the difficulties involved in offering tentative promises of greater EU engagement without the promise of full membership.
It has also been suggested the EU would be better placed to take a more active role in Middle East politics than the US, though the notion of greater EU involvement is unlikely to gain much leeway with Israel, which sees the EU as too pro-Palestinian compared to the US.
Nonetheless, there is a sense that the current conflict in the Middle East could give renewed impetus to the EU's role in the region.
Tuesday's Foreign Affairs Council, which was overshadowed by Ukraine, saw some of the strongest language from the EU on the issue in some time.
While the EU has been adopting a wait-and-see attitude to the Kerry peace initiative over the past few months, a number of countries, including Ireland, have pushed for greater engagement by the European Union on the Palestinian issue, particularly a renewed commitment to the of a two-state objective.
As the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, many will be hoping the EU can overcome its internal differences to help find a constructive solution to the crisis.

Allied Forces adds 14 brand new units to Eador: Masters of the Broken World.
Each of the seven races in Eador is now reinforced with two additional units which have their unique skills and abilities. Befriending one will now pay off much more.
Choose your allies wisely to get the most out of your combat potential!
Eador: Masters of the Broken World - Allied Forces is an unique chance because you can have one of the most interesting pack of add-ons for the best turn based strategy game that the indie scene has offered in this years. If you loved, in the past, games like Heroes of Might and Magic and Master of Magic, you will know very well what I'm talking about. In Eador, maybe the building part of the game is a little more complex, but I have to say that I appreciate it, because this aspect forced me to do always better, to always search what was stronger. The battles are really well balanced, difficult but not frustrating, and I can say that you will particularly love the variety of spells. The graphic aspect, in my opinion, is perfect for this type of game, always clear and accurate: the style is a little darker than in other similar titles, but I really prefer this way. But now, let's return on Eador: Masters of the Broken World - Allied Forces, this beautiful Dlc. You will have more variety, more units, more item: so the gameplay will be deeper and much more satisfying. In general, I don't like Dlc's very much, because they don't worth their price, but in this case Allied Forces gives much more than it costs. I think you understood: personally I really loved this game, I spent hundreds of hours on it, and Eador: Masters of the Broken World - Allied Forces was a dream for me, because this package gave me the chance to begin again with a better game. So, trust me: buy the base game, buy Eador: Masters of the Broken World - Allied Forces and have a lot of fun. You won't regret a single cent you will spend.

In particular, thinking of affine transforms as operations on P^2 involves thinking of your 2-element vectors as vectors in homogeneous coordinates. The particular way you do that defines what your matrix means, right? And in particular, there's no particular reason that the different coordinate axes in the homogenous coordinate space need to have the same units. In practice, you could define that they're all lengths and that all 2-element vectors map to the plane at z = 1px, but that's an arbitrary choice. You could just as easily define the plane as mapping to z=2px, z=1em, or as mapping to z=1 and require that the corresponding matrix entries have dimensionality of length. For purposes of using homogeneous coordinates, this really doesn't matter as long as you're consistent. The only question is what will be most convenient and intuitive for authors. How many authors are familiar with homogeneous coordinates on P^2 in the first place? How many will think of this entirely as transformations on the plane? For the latter, having a translation vector that you can specify as an actual translation with CSS units is very useful, I think. > As I said though, it's also typical to think of an affine transform as > > (linear transform)*point + (translation vector) > > in which case the translation vector has to have units. I just think > that if an author is using the matrix function (instead of the > translate function), they are more likely thinking in the former way, > not the latter. I would be pretty surprised by that, actually. I would welcome data on whether typical authors are actually familiar with projective geometry, though. -Boris P.S. Note that I fully expect most uses for the matrix function to come from things like reading computed values out of transitioning or animating elements, or from some sort of script-generated stuff; I don't see anyone hand-authoring matrix().Received on Thursday, 18 November 2010 02:18:43 UTC

William Dean Howells, above, who had spent his boyhood
Dozens of Facts About Butler County and the Civil War
Hamilton Hydraulic and bridge builder victim of disease daring Civil War
(This the third "Dozen of Facts About Butler County and the Civil War," a series of random columns related to brief comments on Butler Countys role in the Civil War, 1861-1865. The columns are in conjunction with the observance of the Civil War Sesquicentennial, 2010-2015. The reprint edition of Jim Blounts 1998 book, The Civil War and Butler County, is available at several outlets, or by contacting Books in Shandon, 4795 Cincinnati-Brookville Road (Ohio 126), Shandon, OH 45063, or phone 738-2962 or 523-4005.)
Compiled by Jim Blount
Why were Butler County residents concerned about Kentucky political decisions at the start of the Civil War? How was a Kentucky native treated by local voters in the 1860 presidential election? Answers are in the third of many dozens of facts about the area during those tragic years:
25. During the 1860 presidential campaign, William Dean Howells, a young writer who had spent his boyhood in Hamilton, produced what was claimed to be the "authorized version" of Abraham Lincoln's life. His book was one of more than a dozen Lincoln biographies published before the 1860 election.
26. Abraham Lincoln, a Kentucky native, visited Butler County only once and not as president or a presidential candidate. He spoke briefly in Hamilton between major political speeches in Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati on behalf of 1859 Ohio Republican candidates. Saturday, Sept. 17, 1859, about 1,000 persons crowded around the CH&D depot, then at South Fourth and Ludlow streets, as Lincoln's southbound train arrived.
27. In the 1860 presidential election, Democrat Stephen A. Douglas won 56.2 percent of the Butler County votes. He had 4,109 votes, and prevailed in 10 of 13 townships. Republican Abraham Lincoln (2,867) captured only 39.2 percent of the county votes, winning in Oxford, Liberty and Union (now West Chester) townships.
Other Butler County totals were 184 for John Bell of the Constitutional Union Party and 156 for John C. Breckinridge of the Southern Democrat Party. Lincoln carried Ohio by 44,380 votes over Douglas.
In Hamilton, Democrat Stephen A. Douglas had a 261-vote advantage while Abraham Lincoln collected only 37 percent of the ballots. Douglas campaigned in Hamilton Sept. 26, 1860. He delivered a 45-minute speech at the Butler County Courthouse. Lincoln didnt visit Butler County during the campaign.
28. Much of Hamiltons industry obtained power from the Hamilton Hydraulic, a privately built waterway. It took water from the Great Miami River north of Hamilton, and channeled it along North Fifth Street before turning west along Market Street. The water fell 29 feet along the course. The hydraulic drained into the river between the present sites of the former Hamilton Municipal Building and the Courtyard by Marriott. The hydraulic -- which also had channels along N. Monument Avenue -- had opened in 1845.
29. John S. Earhart left a successful career as a civil engineer to accept command of Company C of the 35th Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the summer of 1861. He was educated in Hamilton schools and at Farmers College in College Hill (now a suburb of Cincinnati) before joining his father, George, in engineering turnpikes and other projects in the area. Father and son designed and built the Hamilton Hydraulic in the early 1840s.
John, the son, supervised construction of the Junction Railway from Hamilton across the Great Miami River and through Oxford to the Indiana State line at College Corner. That job included building a bridge over the river and erecting a connecting stone viaduct through the lowland of Hamilton's West Side. Earhart's viaduct -- which has been called "a masterpiece of engineering skill" -- still serves an active railroad (CSX).
Earhart's professional skills were soon recognized and he was promoted to topographical engineer for the Army of the Cumberland. His promising career ended Aug. 10, 1863, when he died of disease at Decherd, Tenn.
30. The agenda of the U. S. Congress included more than war matters. In 1862, Congress passed and President Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act. Miami University sought all or part of Ohio's $340,000 share of the measure that granted public lands to states for the support of agricultural and mechanical colleges.
Ohio legislators decided to spend the money on a new college, not Miami. The Ohio Agricultural College opened in 1870. Later it would be renamed Ohio State University.
31. The status of Kentucky, a slave state, was important to farmers, businesses and industries in Southwestern Ohio. Would the state remain in the Union, or join the Confederacy? Besides trade questions, what would be the fate of shipping on the Ohio River if Kentucky left the Union. What happened in Kentucky would have a direct economic impact in Ohio, especially areas close to the Ohio River.
Welcome news came to Butler County farmers and industrialists May 20, 1861, when Gov. Beriah Magoffin proclaimed Kentucky neutral, which was meant to keep Kentucky open for trade to and from loyal states north of the Ohio River.
32. Kentuckys neutrality proclamation didnt satisfy William Dennison, Ohios governor. May 24, 1861, four days after the Kentucky decision, Dennison, an 1835 Miami University graduate, recommend states north of the Ohio River seize Louisville, Columbus, Paducah, Covington, Newport and other Kentucky river towns to protect northern states and stop trade to Confederacy through Kentucky. His bold plan was rejected by the governors of Indiana and Illinois.
33. Nov. 20, 1861, some Kentuckians demonstrated their southern sympathy. Although the border state never withdrew from the Union, some citizens met at Russellville, Ky., to form a Confederate state government. Their choice for governor, George W. Johnson, was killed in the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862. The Confederate Congress admitted Kentucky Dec. 10, 1862.
34.More Kentuckians fought for the Union than the South. Records show more than 75,000 men in Union units, according to the Kentucky Department of Libraries. That doesnt include about 12,000 who served in state forces or those who joined home guards and other independent units. The KDL says "between 25,000 and 40,000 Kentucky volunteers served in the Confederate army."
35. Humphrey Marshall, an 1827-28 Miami University student and 1832 West Point graduate, was a Confederate brigadier general. He led a CSA force into Eastern Kentucky in September 1862. He was a Kentucky representative in the Confederate Congress, 1864-65, although he had favored Kentucky neutrality in early 1861.
Before the war, the Frankfort native was a colonel during the Mexican War, 1846-47; served in the U. S. House of Representatives 1849-52; resigned his seat become U. S. minister to China, 1852-54; and returned to the U. S. House, 1855-59.
36. "ATTENTION VOLUNTEERS!" said an advertisement in the July 11, 1861, edition of the Hamilton Telegraph. "Three months volunteers, and others who are willing to sustain the laws and prove that we have a government, are invited to meet at the Courthouse in Hamilton on Saturday, the 13th instant, at 3 o'clock, to form a company or companies to join the regiment now organizing in this and adjoining counties," the ad said.
That was the start of what became the 35th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, known later as "the Butler Boys" because the majority of the 900-plus volunteers resided in the county or had Butler County roots.

Fresh off her controversial nomination, controversial nomination process and eventual confirmation, the most inexperience Education Secretary in this country's history, Betsy DeVos, was greeted by a not-so-welcoming group of protesters as she tried entering a school in Washington.
Parents holding signs greeted DeVos when she arrived at Jefferson Middle School Academy in southwest Washington, not far from the Department of Education building.
When she tried to enter the school, the protesters stood in front of her, video from CNN affiliate WJLA showed.
The video showed DeVos then turned around and walked away, with one protester walking beside her shouting, "Go back! Shame, shame."
She got into an SUV and drove off. It's not clear if she later entered the school through another door.
WJLA reported the protest was organized by the Washington Teachers' Union, which did not support DeVos' nomination.

Beauty is Embarrassing is a newly released documentary film chronicling the life and work of California artist/designer/madman Wayne White. Last weekend, I was lucky enough to catch a screening of the doc and a Q&A with White and the film's director, Neil Berkeley. White, who's worked on countless design projects including Pee-wee's Playhouse, spends a large portion of his time these days making "Word Paintings"- humorous text-based works done on recycled thrift store landscapes.
White's had quite the career, and it's great to see him getting some much-deserved recognition. The film takes you through his childhood all the way up to the present day. A pretty epic life. He's spent time as a struggling cartoonist living in Lower Manhattan, done a stint working on Pee-wee's Playhouse, burned out trying to make it in Hollywood, and raised a family. But he's still just a Southern-bred outsider compulsively making art to deal with the crazy world we live in.
A really great watch. Check out a trailer for the film and some of the artist's paintings after the jump.

The NEW Christian Brotherhood…
I'd like to announce the formation of the Christian Brotherhood.
Mission Statement:
Our mission is the complete destruction of all things not Christian. Our goal is to die in the pursuit of Divine Holiness and meet our lord and savior Jesus Christ. We will not compromise and we will succeed in our revolution for Christ.
Everyone on the face of this earth will live under Christian laws. There will be no other religion. Any person practicing another religion will be put to death. There will be no homosexuality, any person who lays with same sex shall be put to death. Females will be subservient to their men. Any female who disobeys her husband shall be beaten. If the female leaves her husband she shall be put to death. Divorce is not acceptable in this new Christian world. We will lay out the laws of our Christian Power and only pastors and preachers shall have the power to change these laws. They will be written in stone and all punishments will be carried out in public.
I hope you will join our Christian Brotherhood of your own free will, for soon you will have no choice. There are no innocents in our war against the non-believers. We will sacrifice our lives in order to meet our savior and take many non-believers to hell.
This is a fictional organization and mission statement but could you imagine the outrage in our society if such a group was formed?
Although the KKK exists, they wield no more power than Phred Phelps or any other nut bag group. There are legit organizations that fall under the "Christian Brotherhood" banner but I've yet to hear of ANY OF THEM, becoming terrorists, calling for death to an entire nation, or any of the Muslim general mantra's.
The organizations of "The Muslim Brotherhood" and "Al Qaeda" and "Hamas" and "Hezbollah" among others, are the epitome of death cults. While I understand the urge to be "Understanding" of others religion, I will not be silent when one particular religion is murdering, raping, destroying civilization in order to rebuild it under their type of religious decree.
In America we placate the Islamic Faith, we appease them, we cater to them and we allow them to fester like a puss ridden infection. When will we wake? When will we see the danger and react accordingly? There is a way to act, prior to bloodshed on our shores. It's called "Assimilation"
Assimilation requires people that come here to become AMERICAN first. It requires a consumption of the American culture and an allegiance to our nation above others. IF Assimilation was required, meaning no more "Accommodating" other cultures above our own, it would have an effect on the Islamic population. The ideals of America are NOT compatible with Islam. Freedom itself is counter to Islam.
We are about 20 years late to war with Islamic fundamentals, and for 20 years we have given them more tools to destroy us. We continue to put arrows in their quiver when we should be putting arrows through their heart.
When will we wake up?
Liberalism is the key to our demise IMO. Liberalism by it's ideology is not confrontational unless it feels threatened by conformity. Islam doesn't threaten them because Islam has not yet gained a hold on our legislative or judicial system. I ask liberals one question: What if it did? Is it easier to fight the system before it's a system or after? I also ask you "What if those of us who see the potential for trouble are RIGHT?
Liberalism, Progressives and to some degree Libertarianism (Large L) are aiding and abetting the infestation of Islam and allowing it to become too powerful. The common sense aspect alone should give pause to reasoned Americans. A "religion of Peace" who uses terrorism as it's communication method should cause people to question. But I guess that's too much to ask for the intellectual elites.
I wonder if this is how France's population was split prior to Germans standing under the Eiffel Tower.
