Something to Listen To…Green Blogosphere.com Interview
I've blogged a few times about "better late than never." Well, this is one of those times. So bear with me as I post this podcast interview conducted by the wonderful Tom Tucker of Green Blogosphere.com. The interview was recorded some time ago (you'll have to listen to it to figure out when!) and in it, I discuss tips for making the most of your organic shopping budget, my life as a green marketing consultant, how I got started in the Green Blogosphere, and the wonderful Green Moms of the Green Moms Carnival.
Poor Tom Tucker has probably been scratching his head wondering why I didn't post this sooner – so my very public apologies to you, Tom. Thank you again for a delightful interview.
What has finally motivated me to post this interview? Well, I have another radio interview tomorrow – this time with community radio station KVMR's See Jane Do program which is "a social change multimedia program, capturing the stories of everyday women doing extraordinary things for the planet." The Corporation for Public Broadcasting-funded program will be webcast here at 4:20 p.m. EST Wednesday – and it's a call-in show. I invited fellow Green Moms Carnival member Jennifer Taggert aka The Smart Mama, to join me, along with Lisa Frack, online parent outreach coordinator for The Environmental Working Group.
In prepping for my interview tomorrow, I listened to the Green Blogosphere interview again. My verdict? I think I shared a lot of good information, but said "um.." too often! And can you tell I'm from New Jersey?
Please let me know what you think!

Thank you Lynn. I feel bad I have been neglecting you and other Green Moms a bit lately . . . Too much time spent on agriculture and deep science. I am planning to make a comeback with GroceryChick, soon to be launched!

March for Science (Lansing)
Saturday, April 22, 2017, 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Capitol Lawn, 101 N. Capitol Ave, Lansing, MI, View Map
The March for Science is a celebration of science. It's not only about scientists and politicians; it is about the very real role that science plays in each of our lives and the need to respect and encourage research that gives us insight into the world. Nevertheless, the march has generated a great deal of conversation around whether or not scientists should involve themselves in politics. In the face of an alarming trend toward discrediting scientific consensus and restricting scientific discovery, we might ask instead: can we afford not to speak out in its defense?

Natural Makeup For Green Eyes
Green eyes are beautiful and deserve to be enhanced sometimes
Eye makeup for green eyes has a wide range of color options. The bottom line is to choose eye makeup colors that do not compete with your eye's natural shade of green.
Any eyeshadow shades which are mostly yellow will even drown out green eyes. The yellow swallows the startling green and helps make the white of your eyes look dull. Jade, amber as well as neon orange may go for you, but canary, lemon or mustard are unthinkable.
It's important to never give your eyeshadow compete with your vision for attention. Give your eye color remain sparkling by utilizing any eyeshadow color except one which matches your eyes. Decide on a creamier green, a darker green or perhaps a smokier green, but never suit your eye color and eye shadow exactly.
Pure and bold blue eyeshadows often look unflattering with green eyes, particularly if it's used like a base color. But blue-green colors, for example turquoise, can appear attractive, particularly if your color is much more hazel. The blue-green hue can help bring out more green than brown inside your eyes. Light blues work nicely for base, accent or tiny highlight.
Best Makeup For Green Eyes
Green eyes sometimes obtain a bad rap (they're, after all, associated with being envious), however they are uniquely beautiful and fun to create up since different eye shadow colors seem to alter their intensity. For those who have green eyes, be smug knowing you are part of a little population. Green eyes are rare and for that reason meant to be celebrated having a wide variety of makeup looks. Without having green eyes, but would like to get the look, experiment with green colored contacts. New options vary from deep jade to bright emerald. Put on the best makeup for green eyes now within our virtual makeup studio.
You realize the adage "opposites attract"? It's certainly true for eye shadows. Bring out green eyes with makeup that's red-based. Opt for raisin-colored eyeliner and plum eye shadow. In case your green eyes are close-set, separate them using a lighter pencil (think mauve) in the inner corner towards the middle of your eye. The darker plum tones ought to be used at the outer edges from the eye. If your green eyes are droopy, perk them up by making use of the darker purple in the inner eye and employ lighter colors toward the outer edges.
To create the most of your eye shadows, try plum colored mascara rather than black. Lashes ought to be clean and free of all traces of makeup before you decide to apply it. Curl your lashes and use a lash fortifier made from tiny fibers that seem to lengthen and thicken your lashes. For max volume, move the wand straight out of the roots, rather than moving it inside a sideways-pointing direction. Forward-pointing lashes look lusher and longer. Your plum colored lashes brings out green eyes and encourage you to definitely flirt up bad weather.
Bring out your gorgeous green eyes with makeup that's red-based. To widen the feel of close-set eyes, apply shades of deep plum eye shadow toward the outer edges along with a lighter shader of purple toward the interior eye. If your eyelids really are a little droopy, target your product. Avoid purples with blue undertones, in addition to blue eye shadow and eyeliner.
SheKnows Beauty Expert Nina Sutton advises: "For green eyes, choose color tones for example dark green, lavender, purple, plum or lilac. Gold and copper are ideal for highlighting green eyes. For eyeliner, it is advisable to avoid black and also to choose browns or grey, that are much softer and not so harsh. An over-all rule of thumb for green eyes would be to choose warm shades vs. cooler shades. Choose mascara inside a brown tone too so the face doesn't look harsh or overpowered."
If you wish to experiment with metallics, avoid silver shades around the eyes. However, bronze, copper and gold looks absolutely fabulous with green eyes for evening. Brown or dark green eyeshadow with flecks of gold will also be terrific choices.
Everybody loves black eyeliner however it isn't the best choice for green-eyed gals. Use chocolate brown liner for everyday. To spice some misconception, try gray or gold. To spread out up your eyes making them pop, give a little white eyeliner towards the inner corner close to the tear duct.
To accent saving money in your eyes, choose eye shadow in shades of purple and gold. Think plum and eggplant within the cool winter months or evening. Choose pastel violet and indigo during the sunshine or daytime.
If you need a nude makeup style, choose shimmery gold eye shadow that coordinates using the hue of your skin. For any subtle yet classy everyday look, try Bobbi Brown Metallic Eye Shadow in Burnt Sugar. This golden brown hue is neutral enough to coordinate with nearly any outfit.
About Eyeliner
Help make your eye shadow pop by using eyeliner. Although classic black eyeliner is fail proof, it's also very common. For a bold night-out look, take dark purple eyeliner. Select a liquid liner and line both your lower and upper eyelids.
Want much more daring makeup tips? Highlight your green eye color having a metallic eyeliner. Try gold or copper colors for top level impact.
For a soft feminine turn to go with a nude color scheme, choose an eyeliner inside a medium lilac tone or light neutral brown.
Enhancing Eyelashes
Finish your thing by embellishing your lashes. Choose a few coats of mascara or perhaps a pair of falsies, or go to the dermatologist for eyelash extensions.
Although mascara and fake lashes come in colorful options, stay with neutral or black. Then, showcase your green eyes with bold texture. Select a lash-extending mascara or thick faux eyelashes. This can draw more attention than layering another color on your eyes.

This is what city planners are launching in anticipation of massive population growth over the next twenty-five years. And they're seeking input from everyone, especially those citizens most likely to still call Wilmington home in 2040—schoolchildren. Lockdown Lifted at three NHCo. School Buildings By Michelle Bliss • Feb 10, 2012 Three school buildings in Wilmington were put on lockdown for about an hour this morning. New Hanover County Sheriff's deputies secured Hoggard High School on Shipyard Boulevard, along with Roland-Grise Middle School and the learning center adjacent to Roland-Grise. Sergeant Jerry Brewer says the lockdown was in response to a bomb threat at a nearby Liberty Healthcare building on South 41st Street. Once the police checked the area and cleared the threat, the three school buildings were reopened around noon.

UNT faculty members available to comment on results of Texas primary runoffs
Texas voters will head to the polls Tuesday (May 27) to determine key runoff races between Republicans Dan Patrick and David Dewhurst for lieutenant governor and between Republicans Ken Paxton and Dan Branch for Texas attorney general. In addition Democrats David Alameel and Kesha Rogers will face off in Texas's race for U.S. Senate.
As you prepare for coverage of these and other primary runoff races, consider these University of North Texas faculty experts who are available to discuss the high stakes strategies and issues guiding the election.

- Brian Lain, associate professor of communication studies and director of debate at UNT, brings expertise in rhetorical criticism and theory and the politics of representation in reviewing the lieutenant governor race between Patrick and Dewhurst.
"The difficulty that we have in this lieutenant governor's debate is we have candidates that really are going after each other. They are really using a lot of attack," said Lain. "The question of fact checking does come into play. Both of these candidates want to try and control the spin as much as possible on the issues. The person that wins the primary race is going to be the one that can garner the most trust with the voters, because both sides are saying the other has lied quite a bit."

Michele Bachmann Apologizes, Promises to Fight Patriot Act at Tea Party Event
In a stunning turnabout unanticipated by all but her closest aides, Republican Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared before a small group of 20 Tea Party activists and 15 cameramen to apologize for her YES vote on the Patriot Act
"The Tea Party says it stands for limited government, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and I'm afraid I lost sight of that," Rep. Bachmann declared shortly after taking the microphone from Tea Party Patriots head Jenny Beth Martin at an event outside the U.S. Capitol on March 31. "When I voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act, I voted to let the government spy on innocent people without a warrant — and keep it a secret. That's not constitutional. That's not in the spirit of the Bill of Rights. That's not limited government. I'm sorry. Let me say that again: I'm sorry."
Most of those assembled in the crowd were sympathetic with Bachmann's mea culpa. "It takes some guts to admit you made a mistake in this town," said pawn broker Gina Mavis, 47. "Michele sucked it up and did the right thing," agreed the bow-tied man to her right, Frank Lewdis, 66. The pair explained that they had traveled all the way from Alexandria to hear Bachmann speak, and they said they were not disappointed.
Before she handed the microphone back to Martin and left the stage, Rep. Bachmann steered her remarks to the future. With a tear visible at the corner of one eye, she explained, "We're in this together. I want you to hold me accountable. Nobody who supports the Patriot Act should be heading up the Tea Party Caucus — and I like that job! If you see me defending big government again, if you see me defend warrantless surveillance again don't let me get away with it. Call me on the carpet. Tell me to pull it together. And if I don't change my ways, well, don't vote for me ever, ever again."
April 2 Update: April Fools! That is a real picture from a a real rally held March 31 at which Michele Bachmann… absolutely, positively did NOT apologize for supporting the Patriot Act. The "Tea Party" crowd, which the New York Times counted at about 300, clapped and cheered and didn't hassle her at all for her Patriot Act vote.
Congrats to the lovely people at Hot Air for swallowing the joke. Sorry to everyone else that Michele Bachmann doesn't have the sense to change her position or the class to apologize.

Jennifer Garner jokes around about parenthood on today's Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"I am not pregnant right now," laughs the mother of three -- Violet, 6; Sera, 3; and baby Sam, 7 months; with hubby Ben Affleck.
"Are you going to keep having kids? Are you going to have more?" asks Ellen.
"No, I definitely, I plan to be done. But my husband is kind of a wonder sperm kind of guy," said Garner, adding, "Just have a look at him!"
The actress, 40, says he's also wonderful at something else -- playing with his daughters. "You know his girls are so into him. ... He kind of excels at playing baby doll."
Ellen says, "He sits down and has tea parties and plays with the girls."
Not only that, but he does it "without using any energy at all," says Garner. "He can sit there and be almost asleep and they think they're having an incredible game with him. It's a skill."

SURFING: Where were you when you pulled that Cork 360?
MATT: I was in Western Australia, on a trip with John John Florence and Albee Layer.
S: Before you paddle out for a session do you plan out what kind of airs you are going to try?
M: A lot of times, before I go out for a session, I'll have a trick in my mind that I really want to do, so I'll look for waves that are good for that trick. But every wave is different, so if the wave wasn't good for the trick I won't try it because it looks really bad when something is forced. You can only do what the wave allows.
S: Do you do any specific training outside of the water?
M: I do a little trampoline practice but I usually just practice in the water. I also go to a gym on Maui, Up Country Fitness, where we work on endurance, core and balance training. It's not really jumping and flipping through the air. They just teach you how to land properly so you don't get injured.
S: What's the best air wave in the world?
M: There's this wave back home, Lanes, and it's one of the better air waves I've ever surfed. It's pretty much my home break. The wind is almost always strong side-onshore and the wave itself is pretty powerful. From the take-off you get a lot of speed and then it has these sections, especially when it's a northeast swell, that bend in at you. Maui is an insane place to do airs because the wind is so good. It's like a skate park.
S: Do you have any tricks that you're working on or trying to accomplish in the next couple months?
M: I was at the X-Games watching skateboarding and I saw this kid do this crazy air-twist thing, and just the other day I got the chance to try it surfing. I didn't know if it was even going to be possible. I kind of did the same rotation but I haven't landed it yet, so that's what I kind of want to work on over the next couple months.
Look for Matt's "crazy air-twist thing" in future issues. Till then, his Cork 360 should keep you satisfied.

Releasing Plaxico Burress: How The Giants Can Fill The VoidApril 4, 2009
We all saw what happened in the playoffs last year. The Giants could move the ball between the '20s, but when it got to the red zone the Giants could not do very much. Being a smash mouth team is a good thing, but when people are stacking the box expecting run, it's not much use.
Without Plaxico there was no red zone threat, no 6' 5" target that could catch the ball at its highest point which made it impossible for the defensive back to make a play. That was the reason for the loss against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Going forward, the loss of Plaxico Burress will hurt the Giants offense. Without Plaxico Burress, teams will stack the line against the run. Without Plaxico Burress, Eli Manning can no longer be the same quarterback. Before, Eli could throw a ball in the vicinity of Plaxico and trust in Plaxico to make a play.
This was especially true in Giants stadium. The notorious swirling winds made Eli's passes float and become prime targets for defensive backs. With Plaxico, the swirling winds did not matter as much because Eli did not have to throw with great accuracy. However, as shown in the playoff game, without that accuracy, Eli is a mediocre quarterback.
Regardless of the evidence, the Giants did the right thing in releasing Plaxico Burress.
First, the Giants are one of those model franchises in the NFL. Along with teams like the Steelers, the Giants represent a model of respectability and integrity for every team to follow. The Giants could no longer hold that position if they let Plaxico Burress stay on the team. If they had, they lose their respectability as a franchise.
Letting Plaxico would set a horrible precedent for the New York Giants. The Giants become an organization run by the star players of the team instead of the coaches, the management, and the owner. Teams run by star players do want bring home championships, just headlines.
That does not mean that the Giants are stronger today than they were last year on the offensive side of the football. The have helped to remedy that situation by strengthening a strength. In signing Chris Canty, Michael Boley, and Rocky Bernard, they strengthen that defense by getting more playmakers. With the return of Osi Umenyiora, the Gaints will have that depth on the defensive line that led them to a championship. Last year, the lack of depth led to Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka wearing down by the end of the season. Do not expect that to happen this year.
Current Wide Receivers
Looking at the offensive side of the football, the Giants do need help at the wide receiver position. Every team has a window to win in the NFL and that window is open for the Giants. Some people argue that the Giants should develop the receivers they have in a solid receiving corps, but lets look at the current wide receivers of the Giants:
Steve Smith - The best wide receiver and route runner on the New York Giants. He has formed a bond with Eli Manning which can be seen on third down. He is Eli's favorite target on third down. He is already a great receiver in the slot and has the potential to be a very solid No. 2 receiver.
Domenik Hixon - Speedster who still needs to work on catching the football (remember the touchdown he dropped in the Philadelphia game). He needs to learn how to run routes with more precision. However, he can stretch the field with his speed.
David Tyree - We all remember him for "The Catch" in Super Bowl XLII. But, that's the only thing we remember him for. He has never had more that 20 receptions in one season and has never been a frequent contributor to the offense.
Mario Manningham - The problem with Mannigham is his lack of NFL play. Based on his time and Michigan he has a great burst of the line and can create separation. He has good hands and runs routes well. However, he is inconsistent and lacks the size to become the red zone threat the Giants need.
Sinorice Moss - He's got plenty of speed, there is no doubting that. However, he has yet to make an impact on the Giants. That may be due to Eli Manning's lack of accuracy in his throws. A small speedster needs to have the QB lead him with his throws so receiver can run after the catch. He has not been able to create the kind of separation needed in order to successful with a QB like Eli.
Looking at all of these receivers, I do not see a true No.1 receiver or a red zone threat. Kevin Boss did lead the team in receiving touchdowns, but he is not going to create the match-ups the Giants need to be consistently dominant in the red zone.
Eli Manning
Regardless of what the Giants do with their receiving corps, Eli Manning needs to improve drastically. He can no longer throw the ball in a general area and how that his wide receiver makes a play. Without that tall deep threat, look for the Giants to employ more short crossing routes to utilize the speed of those receivers. He needs to develop that accuracy that allows his smaller, faster wide receivers. That will give his receivers the ability to run after the catch and create big plays that way. Eli also needs to develop his throwing strength and his spiral. In the winds of the Meadowlands, Eli can not let his passes get knocked down or carried by the wind. The only way to prevent that is by getting a tighter spiral on the ball. If I was Chris Palmer, the Giants QB Coach, that would be the most important thing to work on.
Proven Options - Free Agency
Torry Holt - Right now, I think the best option in free agency is Torry Holt. He did have a down year last year and he is 32-years-old, but he is still a productive receiver. He was not released because he was not a quality football player, but because he wanted to be released and it made sense for the Rams who are a rebuilding team looking to create cap space. I think he was agitated about playing for one of the worst teams in football. That would not be the case if he played for the Giants. Except for last year, Torry Holt has always (except for his rookie year) had at least 80 receptions and 1000 yards.
Marvin Harrison - Unlike Torry Holt, Marvin Harrison is a declining player and declining fast. Once the best route runner and ball catcher in the NFL, he has aged remarkably and is a shell of his former self. Also what made Marvin Harrison great was the chemistry he had with Peyton Manning. After all of those years, it will be difficult for Marvin Harrison to attain that connection with his quarterback over the offseason.
Proven Option - Trades
Anquan Boldin - This has been the dream of every Giants fan in America. If the Giants got Anquan Boldin, they would be the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl. Remember Boldin put up Pro Bowl number before Warner and Fitzgerald became Cardinals. We all know what he would bring to the Giants, but at what cost? If all the Cardinals wanted were draft picks, I would be fine with that. Like I said earlier, the Giants have a window to win multiple Super Bowls and they will do it with Anquan Boldin. However, many reports state that the Cardinals want both Steve Smith and Mathias Kiwanuka in the deal, as well. I think that is too much to give up a two or three draft picks along with two valuable players.
Braylon Edwards - Like Boldin, he can be a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver for the the Giants. He is bigger than Anquan Boldin and would be a great red zone target. However, he is notorious for dropping the football. With trust being the most important thing for Eli Manning, that may cause Eli not to trust Edwards like he did Plaxico. Once again, from the reports, the price for him is too high. They want, along with two draft picks, Steve Smith. The problem with any trade involving Smith would be that the Giants would only have a No. 1 and a bunch of slot receivers. That would lead to teams doubling Boldin or Edwards making them ineffective. Any trade for a wide receiver must allow the Giants to keep Smith in order to keep defenses honest.
Broncos Duo - With the Jay Cutler trade, both Eddie Royal and Brandon Marshall may look for a way out of Denver. With the Broncos needs on defense, I think they would be content in getting just draft picks for either of them. Both of them could be legitimate No.1 wide receivers for the Giants, however it there is only a chance they might want out of Denver. Though I don't think the price will be as high, the odds are less likely that the Broncos would put Royal or Marshall on the trading block unless pushed.
The Draft
As every day goes by, it seems more likely that the Giants will look to the draft to solve their problems at wide receiver. They should go after a possession receiver who can develop into a red zone threat. However, the problem with rookie receivers is that they are rookie receivers. They are inconsistent, and usually do not make an impact in their first year. There are exceptions like Randy Moss, Eddie Royal, and Anquan Boldin but those are blips on the radar as opposed to a pattern.
Michael Crabtree - This is the one wide receiver that I see who can make an impact as a No.1 receiver in his rookie season. He has all the physical and mental tools of any great No.1 wide receiver. The problem is that foot injury and the severity of it. Though that could be a problem, it may help the Giants. Before the injury many saw Crabtree being drafted by the Seahawks with the fourth pick in the draft. Now he could go to the Raiders at seven or the Jaguars at right and could fall even further if Jeremy Maclin is taken before him. That gives the Giants the ability to trade up in the draft to grab this once in a decade talent. Usually, the more draft picks the better. However, the Giants are one piece away from being the favorites for the Super Bowl and I can make an exception for that. With the second and the fifth round picks the Giants got for Shockey, they could trade into the top ten for two or three picks and still have picks left to create depth on the offensive line and line-backing corps.
Hakeem Nicks - Other than Crabtree, I think Nicks is the most polished of any of the wide receivers in this class. He is a great route runner and has glue for hands. Also he is very effective in running down the middle. People complain that he lacks the deep threat speed to stretch the defense. However, greats like Jerry Rice, Anquan Boldin, and Larry Fitzgerald were all criticized for that going into the draft. I am not saying that Nicks will become as great as those players, but you saying that he can not stretch the defense without playing a down in the NFL is a premature characterization of the man. Other that Crabtree, I believe he would be the best fit at receiver for the Giants. The Giants should trade up to get him if, he may be taken in the 20th-28th range.
Kenny Brit - The local man out of Rutgers does have the mouth watering physical tools that every one would want in a wide receiver. However, he is still a very raw receiver compared to Nicks and Crabtree. In the NFL, he can not rely simply on his physical abilities to beat defenders and catch touchdowns. That is why I see him more as a project than a kid who can make an impact right way.
Darius Heyward-Bey - His stock has rocketed due to his amazing performance at the combine. He has elite speed and better size than Hakeem Nicks. However, his lack of production at Maryland raises some doubts. Also, a 40 time means nothing when you do not have the pads on and there are no defenders. I do not believe the Giants will get him, because many see him going in the middle of the first round. If that is the case, I do not think the Giants should trade up to get him. I do not think he would be an impact player in his first year and Kenny Brit has more potential in my mind that Heyward-Bey.
The Giants will be legitimate contenders for the Super Bowl this year. They have the experience, the defense, and the running game to get back to the promised land. But, they are missing that No.1 wide receiver that Eli can trust in the red zone and can prevent the defense from stacking the line against the run. There are many options, each with serious risks, but the reward may out-weigh them all.

Deadpool Street Icons Tee
Does not include Rabid Hamster Gun. Or Inflatable Sheep Gun.
We would like to petition for there to be a taco on the second run of this shirt. We mean, really. How could this oversight happen? It's a travesty, we tell you. A travesty.
This shirt features all kinds of icons associated with Deadpool, including targets, throwing stars, brass knuckles, a grenade, some dynamite, a bomb, a knife, and a katana. It's kind of funny that there are 12 times as many throwing stars as there are any of the other weapons, especially considering that Deadpool makes a Very Bad Ninja, being good at neither subtle or quiet, except on accident. Or, you know, when somebody sews his mouth shut.
Deadpool & the words "Merc with a Mouth" along with a bunch of icons representing Deadpool (but no tacos) on the front of this red 100% cotton shirt. Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Imported.
Wanna chat about it?

Darren Hamilton says Curtis Woodhouse is 'an excellent salesman' but won't take his British Light Welterweight title away on February 22 at the Hull Ice Arena live on Sky Sports.
Hamilton can claim the Lord Lonsdale belt outright with victory over Woodhouse, who fights for the British title for the first time in his career. Bristol man Hamilton has been in the form of his life in the last two years, claiming the scalps of Ashley Theophane, Stevie Williams and Adil Anwar in his last three clashes for the coveted strap.
Woodhouse owned the English title at Light Welterweight in 2012, losing it controversially to Shayne Singleton in March, and the champion has exchanged barbs on Twitter with the former footballer as they prepare for battle next weekend.
"Curtis is an excellent salesman," said Hamilton. "After he loses he can go off and be a great salesman, and he has sold the fight well. He believes he is going to win, and believes the things he is saying are real.
"There are two fighters in that ring and one of them has a game plan; and the other goes in there to just try his best. In Hull you will see the game plan and the difference with the person who is just going to go in and try his best.
"I have to put Woodhouse in the same calibre of my other opponents. He has boxed two of the fighters I have boxed before [Peter McDonagh and Dave Ryan] so I have to put him in the mix. Once upon a time he was in the top ten but since the Derry Mathews performance he has dropped a bit further down, but I have to put him in contention as a contender who can mix it in the top ten."
Hamilton's defence against Woodhouse is part of an exciting night of action in Hull, with Olympic Gold medal hero Luke Campbell MBE stepping up to eight rounds for the first time in the paid ranks against Scott Moises.
Campbell's fellow Hull star Tommy Coyle defends his IBF International Lightweight title against Daniel Brizuela, while Doncaster's Gavin McDonnell faces Leigh Wood for the vacant British Super Bantamweight title.
A trio of local prospects are in action in the form of Zak Collins, Joel Haigh and Charlie Payton, and there are four-rounders for Manchester's Hosea Burton and New Malden's Lerrone Richards and Liverpool Super Middleweight Tony Dodson, who is aiming to secure a Commonwealth title shot against Rocky Fielding on March 15.

The second law of thermodynamics can also be stated using Clausius, Kelvin and Planck statements also. Each statement is based on an irreversible process.
The Clausius and the Kelvin and Planck statements of the second law of Thermodynamics are given below:
Clausius statement:
Clausius statement states "it is impossible for a self acting machine working in a cyclic process without any external force, to transfer heat from a body at a lower temperature to a body at a higher temperature. It considers transformation of heat between two heat reservoirs.
Kelvin – Planck statement:
Kelvin – Planck statement states "it is impossible to construct an engine, which is operating in a cycle produces no other effect except to external heat from a single reservoir and do equivalent amount of work.
It considers the transformation of heat into work.
Equivalence of Clausius statement to the Kelvin – Planck statement
Consider a reservoir having temperature T1 and another reservoir at temperature T2. The temperature T1 is higher than the temperature T2. Consider a heat pump which requires no work and transfers an amount of Q2 from low temperature to a higher temperature reservoir, which is violating the Clausius statement. Consider an amount of heat Q1 (greater than Q2) be transferred from higher temperature reservoir to a heat engine which develops a net work, W = Q1 – Q2 and rejects Q2 to the low temperature reservoir.
Since there is no heat interaction with the low temperature, it can be eliminated. The combined system of the heat engine and heat pump acts then like a heat engine exchanging heat with a single reservoir, which violates the Kelvin – Planck statement.

GTK\-UPDATE\-ICON\-CACHSection: (1)
Updated: 11/07/2005
Index Return to Main Contents
NAMEgtk-update-icon-cache - Icon theme caching utility
- gtk-update-icon-cache [--force] [--ignore-theme-index] [--index-only] [--source [name]] [--quiet] {iconpath}
It expects to be given the path to a icon theme directory containing an index.theme, e.g. /usr/share/icons/hicolor, and writes a icon-theme.cache containing cached information about the icons in the directory tree below the given directory.
GTK+ can use the cache files created by gtk-update-icon-cache to avoid a lot of system call and disk seek overhead when the application starts. Since the format of the cache files allows them to be mmap()ed shared between multiple applications, the overall memory consumption is reduced as well.
- --force, -f
- Overwrite an existing cache file even if it appears to be uptodate.
- --ignore-theme-index, -t
- Don't check for the existence of 'index.theme' in the icon theme directory. Without this option, gtk-update-icon-cache refuses to create an icon cache in a directory which does not appear to be the toplevel directory of an icon theme.
- --index-only, -i
- Don't include image data in the cache.
- --source, -c
- Output a C header file declaring a constant name with the contents of the icon cache.
- --quiet, -q
- Turn off verbose output.

I've been there and it's no fun. Because I have been there way too many times I want to share with you how to end the start and not finish cycle in your life.
First, when the motivation is lacking it's usually because you're not really clear about what you want. Clarity makes you excited, it gives you something to work towards. Without it, you're going to wander aimlessly skipping from one project to the next, never completing anything.
Well, what if you have clarity but still no motivation? When you have clarity and no motivation it is most likely because you have clarity about the wrong thing. Are you doing what your heart is calling you to do or are you doing what you're doing because everyone else is doing it? When you work in opposition to what God has called you to do it will always be a struggle; either you will not have motivation to finish or you will finish the work and be unhappy.
I was going to write more but I think that's enough for you to think about and take action on. Until next time.

MassBay to hold 5k honoring Krystle Campbell on Sept. 29
The race, which will wind through MassBay's Wellesley campus, will benefit the Krystle Campbell Scholarship Fund that was started this year in her honor, which aims to help students in the business field. Campbell graduated from MassBay in 2005 with an associate degree in business administration, according to the school.
"A few years out of Medford High School, Krystle was looking to improve her life by going back to school and earning a degree," officials said in a statement, noting that she transferred to UMass Boston to pursue a four-year degree. "Hers is what MassBay calls a success story."
Campbell, 29, was at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15 when two bombs exploded, detonated by alleged bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Campbell, along with two others, lost her life. Dozens more were injured.
The 5K will begin at 50 Oakland St. at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 29, rain or shine. The event costs $20 in advance, and $25 the day of the event. The first 300 registrants will receive a free t-shirt. Officials said they are also still accepting sponsors for the event.
Officials said they will aim to have the event be fun and uplifting for all families, with music, food, games, medals, and prizes – all while enjoying some exercise.

I have a 1999 Dodge Intrepid with the larger available engine. It has 110K miles on it. I am not sure of the age of the battery as I bought the car used.
On occasion when I turn the key, nothing happens. No clicking of the starter or anything. It seems totally dead except that all electrical things(lights, radio, etc) seem to be working fine. If I turn the key enough times (sometimes 20 or so times), it will eventually start like normal. Once warm it does not seem to do it as frequently. It also will go several weeks at a time without incident and then start happening again. Do you think that this is a battery issue or a starter issue?
have the same problem?

GODDARD, Kansas – Residents in Goddard got one last chance tonight to learn about a proposed sales tax that would fund improvements in that city.
For most voters, Tuesday's primary will be about who moves on to November's general election. But it also has added meaning here in Goddard, where the city will determine whether or not to add a one-cent sales tax.
City officials met face to face with residents and business owners to explain how declining funds from the state is a key reason they are pursuing a sales tax.
"Folks tend to generally fall into three camps, the first are those that overwhelmingly support it, those that are fundamentally opposed to any taxation, and those that just want to find the facts about what's going to be spent and why," said Goddard City Administrator, Brian Scott.
City leaders say if the tax had been in place last year, it would have raised more than $400,000 for the city.
75% of it would go toward infrastructure improvements, like building new parks and repairing and widening roads that accommodate a growing number of motorists.
"…And the people that are traveling through our city and using our roads will help contribute the money that is needed to maintain those roads," said resident Richard Rose.
The other 25% of it would fund a reduction of property taxes, passing some of that tax obligation from homeowners to consumers who shop in the city.
"This is the most equitable way that the community felt we could spread that cost across as many folks as possible, and make not only Goddard residents, but those visiting our community, make their experience here more enjoyable," said Scott.
If the sales tax is approved, it would likely take around 90-days for it to be implemented in Goddard. It can also be overridden by a majority vote of the city council in the future.

I'm pretty sure it matters with ssh, because (unless I am mistaken) the compression is done by cvs, not ssh (although, ssh could be doing compression too, depending on the configuration, of course) As for the server enforcing a certain compression level, I think that would require modification of the cvs server bits.

Anchorage Alaska Real Property (2)
California is a research in contrasts and contradictions. It is the land of the endless summer time that may burst into flames with a stray spark from an ailing maintained power line blown over in a raging Santa Ana wind. Its glowing ocean front boasts pristine seashores that buzz with surfers and beach blanket bingo revelers. When the tourists are gone, however, those same beaches buzz with hundreds of flies feasting on the stinking piles of rotting kelp that the California current washes in. It's residence to sparkling Hollywood Tinseltown glitter where spoiled stars like Justin Bieber drive at freeway speeds by means of their plush neighborhoods, egging their neighbor's houses, or beat up rehab clinic staffers like Lindsay Lohan.

Frogs, Toads and Dolls
Frogs, on the other hand, aren't ugly. I've seen beautiful, colorful ones in aquariums.
The ones in my garden are mostly greenish gray. If this fellow showed up, he'd find a home with me. Meet Kermit the Frog from the Tonner Doll Co.
For the last several years I have noticed collectors going Gaga over a frog called Wanda. I almost bought one but came to my senses after briefly imagining indulging my impulses. BIC sells them. They have been produced in lots of colors and are limited editions. The following 3 pictures are the property of Amélie Deveau aka Aminie who gave me permission to use them here. If you click on her name, you will go to her Flickr and can see more Wandas.
BIC would cost you about $96. plus postage.
This collector, "irulethegalaxy" has a Flickr photostream showing a bowl filled with what seems like the largest assortment of Wonderfrogs ever.
They're cute but how do you tell the sexes apart?
The popularity of frogs are on the rise. Gaga wears them. Doll designer, Veik, adorns a Barbie with frogs.

I love toads and frogs! Kermit and Wanda are quite cute. However, there are several varieties of frogs and taods that are poisonous. I'm not sure if there are any in your area, but you might want to check before you pick them up for a cuddle.ReplyDelete

Afghan prisoner, Malim Awal Gul, embraced martyrdom on Tuesday last due to bestiality of the American rulers in Guantanamo Prison.
Malim Awal Gul, 48, was accused of being a Taliban commander.
Gul, born in eastern Laghman province of Afghanistan, was a commander of the Hizb-i-Islami Afghanistan (Hekmatyar), who fought against the Soviet Union, in 1979. The US soldiers arrested him in Nangarhar province about ten years back.
Family members of Gul denied Gul had any sort of links with the Taliban or Al Qaeda fighters. "If he was not innocent, the US officials would have proved his case," brother of Gul, Haji Nazar Mohammad, said.
Gul's family also called for the handover of his body. His family members along with a number of residents arrived in Jalalabad, the capital of eastern Nangarhar province to seek the government's help in receiving Gul's body.
His brother, Zazar Gul, said they were mourning his brother's death over the past three days.
He urged International Forces, International Committee of Red Cross and Afghan government to hand them his brother's body.
"The international forces are issuing controversial statements about the circumstances surrounding Gul's death," the brother said. He said once they said Awal Gul died in bathroom and then they said he fell from a sport machine and died. He added he talked to his brother 20 days ago by internet with the help of Red Cross office and that he was alright.
He claimed that his brother was killed through torture in detention. Rahman also criticised the press for not inquiring after Gul's health during his nine years of detention.
According to the US military officials as many as seven inmates at the notorious Guantanamo Bay prison facility had so far died.
Guantanamo Bay, detainment facility was created in 2002 by the Bush Administration to hold detainees from the war in Afghanistan and later Iraq. It is operated by the Joint Task Force Guantanamo of the US government.
As many as 800 prisoners, including Afghans, had been held in the centre and most of the detainees had been freed or handed to the governments of their respective countries.
The martyrdom of the eminent commander Moalim Awal Gul at the hands of the Americans in Guantanamo Prison is a clear indicator of the American violation of all national and international agreements and covenants and portrays their brutal behavior with the detainees in this illegitimate prison.
It is now one year since the issuance of decree by president of America, Barack Obama, regarding the closure of the Guantanamo Prison but it is still operative. Hundreds of Muslims have been suffering in the prison in a very brutal environment for the past nine years without any legal justification. The martyrdom of the eminent commander Moalim Awal Gul at the hands of the Americans in Guantanamo Prison is a clear indicator of the American violation of all national and international agreements and covenants and portrays their brutal behavior with the detainees in this illegitimate prison.
Association of those prisoners, who had been freed from the centre, in Kabul, expressed concerns over the death of Gul. Member of the association, Rohullah, said that both Afghan and the US governments should help family members of Gul.
Following the death of an Afghan prisoner in the US military detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the association of ex-Gitmo detainees on Saturday called for transfer of all Afghan prisoners to jails in their home country.
"The Afghan government should keep all the 23 Afghan prisoners in its own jails," one of the association members, Haji Rohullah, told Pajhwok Afghan News.

There's a wonderful Twitter account called Very British Problems that always has something to make me chuckle with its acute observations of British idiosyncrasies.
"It's Not Quite What I Had in Mind" is translated as "What the Bloody Hell is This?" and those, my friends, are the words that came out of my mouth, unbidden and unedited when I tried Balmain Extatic.
Let's not start with the irritating Franglais misspelling, let's crowd in and sniff.
If you blindfolded me and asked me to smell this (and please don't, not my thing), I would have said it was probably a chart topping B List Babe who had just jumped on the fragrance bandwagon and was all packaging and no substance. If you'd told me it was from the same house that gave me my beloved Jolie Madame, I simply would not have believed it.
Balmain Extatic owes a lot to Lancome La Vie est Belle: a perfume that's not my cup of tea but which has caused a big splash and spawned lots of flankers and homages. Extatic is another homage, although not as well made. There's caramel and sugar, fruit and sweetness and loads of fake synthetic flowers and… frankly, it's awful. But wait! What's this? Could it be a fleeting whiff of classy leather? Nope, sorry, it's gone. False Alarm.
Balmain, you're a class act, you don't need to do this.
If you like Lancome La Vie est Belle, you might like this too. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean nobody will. You can buy this from our friends at Escentual, or from John Lewis, Debenhams and Amazon UK. Overseas you can buy it from Sephora and Amazon.com
PS The Black Narcissus writes brilliantly on Balmain Extatic: the title alone made me laugh!

My Mood Hits Bottom, Market Rallies
After my "doom" post of yesterday, we should have expected a rally today, and we got one, but a disappointing one,up only 30 on the SPX. Even though oil is trading down, the energy sector is up, and oil and coal stocks are having pretty big rebounds, as are the fertilizers. XLF is also up big today. Wells Fargo is taking over Wachovia. As you know, Bailout 2.0 is being voted on in the House, and it is not a sure thing. However, I think the market has already thrown it's temper tantrum and is probably ready to move on.
Despite the rally, there are no breakouts, and only 11 new highs, 9 on the NYSE and 2 on the Nasdaq. That's a pretty good sign of an oversold bounce.
In other news, Arnold Schwartzeneggar, elected Governor of California 5 years ago to solve the State'e financial crisis, has finally figured out how to do it. He is asking Paulson for a bailout.
Moral hazard? What moral hazard?

Air apparent
At Airplay, Mumbai's first aerial movement festival, Mumbaikars can learn about aerial silk ropes and participate in activities such as slack-lining, wall climbing and aerial yoga
With aerial silk (performing acrobatics while hanging from a fabric) and aerial ring and rope (acrobatics done hanging from a rope/ring) gaining popularity across dance shows and Bollywood songs, it was only a matter of time that a festival would be held in the city. Titled Airplay, the two-day event celebrates aerial movements and has been organised by Natura, Dancers Alliance and Capoeira De Ouro.
Aerial silk is performed while hanging from a fabric
Airplay will include workshops on using aerial silk ropes, slack-lining, aerial yoga/pilates, Kalaripayattu, Capoeira and Hip-Hop.
Speaking about the event, festival organiser Shubhangi Swarup says, "Airplay is a fitness and dance festival centered around aerial dancing and acrobatics. There will also be an artificial rock climbing wall, slack-lines, flying harnesses and martial arts like Capoeira that involve movement off the ground."
Watch out for...
In all, there will be three aerial performers from Mumbai: Manik Paul, Shruti Jasani and Aditi Deshpande. Graduado Sucuri will teach Capoeira while Samar Farooqui will teach slack-lining and the Natura team will teach wall climbing. The Terence Lewis Dance academy will teach Tutting and Hip-Hop.
Artificial wall climbing
Slack-lining, one of the highlights at Airplay, is a balancing art done using nylon or polyester webbing tied between two anchor points. Says Samar Farooqui, founder of Slacklife Inc, "You develop your core muscles, balancing and concentration skills. It is accessible to anyone who's keen to try." Tutting is another draw; it is a style of Hip-Hop that involves popping one's arms at perpendicular angles.
Interestingly, aerial disciplines are simultaneously modern in nature and yet have a basis in the past. "The rope-and-pole Mallakhamb has been around for centuries; aerial silk has popped in around 2010," explains aerial dance teacher Shruti Jasani.
Studio for all things
While Sitara Studio may seem an unconventional venue, Avishkar Tendle, MD, Natura, explains that since it boasts of a high ceiling it is ideal to host aerial activities and offers a climate-controlled environment, making it a fit.
Such events may become a regular feature, states Nikhil Hemrajani, VP, Sitara Studio, "Depending on the response, we intend to hold classes for dance and indoor adventure activities. Airplay has been designed to introduce diverse trends to city folk."
On May 17-18, 12 pm to 10 pm at Sitara Studio, Dadar (W).

SANATOGA PA – Good news arrived Wednesday (April 2, 2014) in the crime-fighting quarters of the Lower Pottsgrove Police Department on Buchert Road: it is now one of only a relative handful of police agencies across the state to win accreditation from the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association.
Michael Foltz, the department's pleased and obviously proud chief, spread the word by e-mail that the association's accreditation commission had issued its approval for the honor, which acknowledges the department's professionalism. It joins the ranks of just 8 percent of the state's law enforcement bodies to be examined, tested, and held to a high set of standards in the business of protecting the public.
A formal presentation on accreditation approval is expected to be made Monday (April 7) to the township Board of Commissioners, Foltz said. Accreditation certificates are likely to be delivered to Foltz and the department at the association's 100th anniversary convention during July in King of Prussia.
The department's achievement involves more than just public recognition, Foltz has said in the past; it also represents the culmination of a quest begun several years ago by his predecessors. Earlier chiefs had registered the department for accreditation, and begun the necessary documentation to see it through, but intervening events and a lack of adequate staffing to pursue it delayed the process.

"As I know his playing attributes and his style of play I think he would fit perfectly, especially at Spurs.
"As the Premier League is the best league in the world, I think that he would really like to come to England."
