Candidates for 8th Suffolk state representative debate; Ward 5 Democrats endorse Livingstone
The Ward 5 Democratic Committee endorsed Jay Livingstone for state representative of the 8th Suffolk district after he and fellow Democratic candidate Josh Dawson debated Tuesday.
In what many members said was a difficult decision, the committee voted 17 to 6 to endorse Livingstone.
Members praised both candidates for their work supporting Democratic candidates and the committee, and their active roles in their communities. The committee promised to actively support whichever candidate won the May 28 primary.
Few differences on policy emerged during the debate at the First Church Boston in the Back Bay as Dawson and Livingstone both tried to make the case that he would be the best progressive leader for the district.
Dawson, 30, a Back Bay resident and former chairman of the Ward 5 committee, has worked as the executive director of state Treasurer Steve Grossman's campaign committee and as the legislative and budget director for Brockton state Senator Thomas Kennedy.
Livingstone, 39, of Beacon Hill, is an attorney in private practice and a member of the Ward 5 committee. He has previously worked as a prosecutor in the Middlesex District Attorney's office. He is a board member of the Beacon Hill Civic Association.
The candidates took on statewide and local issues at the debate. Both favor an expanded bottle bill; want a citywide vote if a casino is sited in East Boston; and list creating downtown public schools as a top priority.
On local development, Dawson and Livingstone both said they would work with developers, the city, and residents to make sure the community plays a role in any development process and that neighborhoods' concerns are heard and addressed.
"There's a lot of building trade unions that when I talk to them they don't live in the neighborhood and they want to build Manhattan in our neighborhood, and we have to be very careful about not changing the character of the neighborhood," Livingstone said.
Dawson, who has been endorsed by members of the Boston building trades, said he sees developers as long-term investors who want to maintain the neighborhood character that attracted them to build in the neighborhood in the first place.
"The folks who work in the building trades are your carpenters, your electrical workers, they care about being able to put food on the table for their kids and their families, send their kids to good schools, and I think as Democrats we care about that also," he said.
"They are not trying to turn--like Jay said--Back Bay into Manhattan. It's not going to happen," he said, noting the historic neighborhood is protected by laws and the community process.
When asked if either would support legislation eliminating the Boston Redevelopment Authority, Livingstone said he would. Dawson would not.
"The Boston Redevelopment Authority is both the zoning and planning authority for the city as well as the marketing arm that actually does the development and mixing those two things often creates conflict," said Livingstone. "I think now we're going to have a new mayor, we're going to have what looks like a vastly different city council, I think it's now time to reexamine and separate those functions."
Dawson said the changes in leadership were a reason to keep the authority.
"Because we have a new mayor coming in in less than a year that I would not advocate for the removal of the BRA to see how a new administration would work with the BRA and the communities on development issues, said Dawson. "I would say right now I don't believe that's a responsible decision."
Dawson also said dissolving the BRA was not a decision for the state legislature.
"I don't think it's the job of a state representative to tell a municipality how they should deal with the development issues in their city," he said.
Asked what their top legislative priority would be in their first term, Dawson said his is to create public schools in the downtown area.
Dawson said he would work to include amendments to the budget to ensure funding for a downtown school so more families can stay in the city.
"Getting that and keeping middle class families in Downtown Boston would be my number one priority," he said.
Livingstone, too, said creating downtown public schools would be a top priority he would continue to work on, as would restoring funding to social programs, such as the Department of Children and Families.
Recalling his days as a prosecutor, Livingstone said, "The kids were getting into more trouble were getting into the wrong cycle solely because of significant cutbacks by the state."
Both candidates said more time is needed to study the effectiveness of charter schools before they would support increasing the cap on the schools.
On taxes, both candidates said they supported Governor Deval Patrick's tax plan that would generate an additional $1.9 billion annually for transportation and education in part by raising the income tax while cutting the sales tax.
Dawson and Livingstone said tax increases must be done progressively to fund vital services such as transportation and education while not putting the tax burden on low-income residents.
Livingstone has also been endorsed by the Sierra Club, Mass. Alliance, Progressive Massachusetts, ten Boston locals, and former primary candidate Nils Tracy.
Dawson has been endorsed by State Treasurer Steve Grossman, State Auditor Suzanne Bump, City Councilors Mike Ross and Tito Jackson, and local and state firefighters.
The candidates will meet again Thursday at a forum in Cambridge. The primary is scheduled for May 28, and the special election for the state House seat will be held on June 25, the same day as the US Senate special election.

I'm planning to build my own computer in a month or two. It'd mostly be used for WoW, though possibly some other games down the road. I'd also need to be able to run Vent.
From what I've seen, quite a few Linux users do that by running Wine or by just dual-booting.
I'm new to Linux, but the idea of not having to run Windows is appealing. I'm not incredibly computer savvy, but I wouldn't qualify as a novice either.
Realistically, I think that running Windows would just be easier. That's why I've stayed with it this far. I hate the idea of a patch screwing me up, running into weird glitches with no simple fixes, decreased performance, etc. I imagine that for most stuff like that, there are fixes, but they would not always be readily available (and I don't see myself debugging without fixes others suggest). If I'm missing raids because I'm trying to figure out how to get my system operating properly again, it's not worth it to me.
So, this is a calculated risk, but I'm not sure of how much of a risk it is. For those who go the Wine route, how often is it a problem for you? How much extra maintenance is it? Do you dread patches? Do you have quality of life issues that plague or pester you?
A couple of other things to keep in mind:
-Before I'd go the dual boot route, I'd just as soon run Windows only.
-I will have my older computer as a back-up if I run into a complication.
A secondary uncertainty is, if I choose to go with Linux, which distro I should go with. I figure the most widely used would mean an easier time finding for solutions to problems I encounter. Any solid reasons to pick one over the other: Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc? [I realize you can do trial runs in a browser or virtual machine or whatever else, but I'm not sure just test-driving it will inform me as well as educated reviews.]
TL;DR-Linux noob wondering if avoiding Windows is a bad idea. If not, which distro?
I searched this topic earlier but didn't find what I was looking for. Sorry if this is a beaten dead horse.

text: Momentum has made the sensible decision to put both Mesrine films, Killer Instinct and Public Enemy No 1 into a two-disc DVD (or single Blu-Ray). Little known here, Jacques Mesrine was a French criminal of the 1960s and 70s with a scarcely credible history of reckless bank robberies and jailbreaks. Vincent Cassel has a great time with the part, ageing convincingly as a one-man crime wave, and Gérard Depardieu is a slippery crook. Jean-François Richet, who directed the recent Assault on Precinct 13 update, keeps it cracking along viscerally and unpretentiously.

This week Paul Coyle gets into the holiday spirit, expressing his love for Bullitt County.
FRANKFORT– As outdoor winter temperatures drop and the risk for carbon monoxide poisoning increases, Kentuckians are urged to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning due to improper use of heating or cooking devices.
Every parent wants their children to succeed in life. Early on, parents can help by making sure that their child can read. And they need to keep them in school. This is the parent's responsibility, but some in Frankfort want to take that responsibility away from them by mandating school attendance until they're 18 years old.
When the General Assembly began the legislative session last month, there was already broad agreement on what the three biggest issues would be: Writing state government's budget; realigning legislative and Kentucky Supreme Court districts; and limiting if not stopping prescription drug abuse.
Last week, the latter two took center stage.
Redistricting took another turn this week when the judge returned his opinion disagreeing with our plan and directing members of the Kentucky General Assembly to run in our old districts.
Unless you have a large trust fund or have won a big lottery jackpot, you know what it means to make economic choices. Do you buy these shoes, or do you buy those groceries? Do you get the data plan at $25/month or stick with text messages and put $25 a month away for a college fund for your baby (which could add up to about $8,500 by graduation day).

Consumers ultimately must make their own financial decisions about how and when to spend, save, borrow, insure and invest. However, one of the features of the financial services industry is information asymmetry: providers know more about their products than consumers.
Given the complexity of financial services, information asymmetry is unavoidable but there are ways of reducing it. There are also clear social benefits in building a more financially aware and engaged population, capable of taking responsibility for their long and short term financial decisions. Doing so will not be easy and calls for careful thought.
Our responsible consumers theme will address these and other topics.
The ICAEW volunteer project Boosting Financial Capability in schools was set up with pfeg (Personal Finance Education Group) and GE Money to help raise the standard of financial education in classrooms.
The project has been successfully trialled in the West Midlands and works by matching teachers' experience with volunteers' expertise. Experience from this project will contribute to the Financial Services Faculty's thought leadership work.

Uncharted 3 Double XP Weekend Delayed
Maybe you tried to log on to the Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception multiplayer this weekend, and were disappointed to find it strangely unavailable.
You wanted to take advantage of that previously advertised Double XP weekend, right? Well, an unfortunate technical issue has forced Naughty Dog to delay the event until next Tuesday, October 22 at 12 p.m. PST. It will run through October 29 and end at the same time (12 p.m. PST).
You can wait, I'm sure. And by the way, when the multiplayer does return, you'll see that the Lab will feature "the return of lead game designer Robert Cogburn's first Block Mesh Map." The blog update says "it's a ton of fun" but don't just take their word for it; give it a try next week. By the way, the first week of November marks the two-year anniversary of the game's release and yes, people are still actively playing online. It's pretty damn good, you know.
Now all we need to hear about is Uncharted 4. That would instantly become my most anticipated PS4 game, that's for damn sure.

Yet this is what I wanted, right?? Dealing with community college bureaucracy and pulling teeth to get return phone calls. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Nobody can tell me exactly what the Anatomy & Physiology "package" at the book store consists of or if I definitely need to purchase a Lab book. A week wasted because I can't confirm if my book contains the code I need to get online - or if I'll have to purchase the $325 book from the bookstore and return this shrinkwrapped one to Amazon. A week that I had planned on familiarizing myself with the topic has vaporized.
I'm too old for this crap. It's a lot less fun that it looks like on the show Community.
Come to realize I've spent most my life jumping into new things as a means of justifying running away from other things, instead of consciously choosing a new path

At the bottom of the canyon in Dunsmuir, I watched Ted Fay, the old master, thigh-deep in the river with his fly rod. Ted was like Rembrandt with a brush as he painted the river with short casts.
He became a legend in the fly fishing world for inventing a system where he used two flies at once and made very short casts. Back in the day, near the mouth of Castle Creek, I saw him catch 10-fish limits on five casts, which were no more than 20 feet long. When he took me under his wing, Ted was an old guy and I was just kid, but we hit it off. That was long, long ago.
What I remember best was how he merged with the river, the open, friendly way he shared his secrets, and that he became the heartbeat of American fly fishing.
His legacy continues with the start of each trout season. This year's opener is Saturday, more ceremonial than anything with so many waters now open year round. To mark the opener, an exhibit called "The Golden Era of Fishing" will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the new Dunsmuir Museum.
Even though Ted was a small man, his shadow is still cast across the canyon that frames the Upper Sacramento River, from Box Canyon Dam, at the foot of Mount Shasta, on downstream 38 miles of river past Dunsmuir, Sims and Pollard Flat en route to Shasta Lake. He was inducted into the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in 1982, and more than 30 years later, present-day guides on the Upper Sac continue to honor Ted's techniques as well as carve out their own niches.

In one of the opening school scenes of the new documentary Bully, a kid with a shaken expression and an ice pack on his head is approached by his school principal who asks, "Oh, what happened to you?" To which the kid replies, "Johnny shoved my head against a nail."
I realize school principals see and hear a lot from students during a typical day and much of it is innocuous. As school administrators, they have to be able to differentiate between 'drama' vs the real stuff or they'd never make it to 3rd period with their sanity in tact. But an upset child with an ice pack requires attention, so the principal examines the back of the kid's head and blithely reports, 'Well, I don't see a hole."
That was a tip off that there wasn't going to be a whole lot of empathy from this administrator. In fact, I was half-expecting she'd ask, "And what did you do to make Johnny so mad?" Instead she shooed the kid off to wherever. Another bullying incident swept aside.
That frustrated me. In fact, the whole audience seemed frustrated by a lot of what we saw in Bully. Not that the scenes with the victims weren't compelling. Oh they were! I winced, I hid my eyes, I cried. But mostly, my fellow-movie goers and I sat incredulous at the consistent insensitivity of folks who are responsible for the safety and well-being of the students in their care.
Which brings up the scenes of violence on the school bus. Truthfully, I've seen much worse filmed by security cameras on school buses. But the bus footage in Bully was made by the filmmakers. They were right there, witnessing a child (Alex) being pushed, hit, shoved, choked, and stabbed with a pencil on numerous occasions. I watch Nature documentaries and I understand that when the lion is hunting the gazelle the filmmakers do not interfere with the 'natural order' of things. If the prey gets caught, the camera keeps rolling. But we're talking about people standing by and watching while a child is being hurt. The film crew continued filming for the benefit of their movie. That's repugnant. At one point, it must have been too much for them because they put up an inter title saying "Because the violence was escalating and we were concerned for Alex's safety, we showed the footage to his parents and the school administration."
What the hell took them so long?! Standing back and filming this cruelty felt like a major betrayal to Alex and his parents, who trusted the filmmakers and opened themselves to them . Where were they when Alex needed help? Apparently more concerned about their movie than the child.
The film had its moments. Who could not be moved by a memorial service for a victim of bullying? Or by a parent choking on her broken heart as she describes the angelic child who was her son had until she found him hanging from a rope in the closet? But these scenes do not translate into change. And that's why I'm frustrated. That's why I've had it with feel good rallies, candle-light vigils, t-shirts, plastic bracelets and balloon releases.
I wanted more from this film. It was so hyped after an online petition to get the rating changed from R to PG-13 went viral. Hell, I signed it along with 500,000 other people because we felt so strongly that it needed to be seen by as many kids as possible. All of us were hopeful that this film would add something new to the search for solutions. But the film showed absolutely no evidence that any school is doing anything to teach students that cruelty is unacceptable. And yet there are plenty of schools doing the right thing. Schools where administrators, teachers, counselors, parents and students work together to create an accepting school culture– one that does not tolerate harassment. Some of these schools changed themselves after a tragedy. They took responsibility for what happened in their midst and they learned how to become a more caring place. Other schools have never experienced a student being driven to suicide by bullying, but they work proactively on this issue every day, so it won't happen there.
Aside from the courageous leadership and determination of the parents of two bully-cide victims in the film, there wasn't a lot to feel inspired by here. And I wanted to feel inspired. All of us who care about kids need to feel inspired and motivated, otherwise we might as well just join the chorus of those who say "Kids will be kids and there's nothing we can do about our students' behavior. Let them work it out themselves." By not providing a look at a positive role model school, it felt like the filmmakers had no hope to offer.
Look, I'm grateful that this film was made. I applaud the filmmakers for creating a free teacher's guide. I fervently hope that schools everywhere are screening Bully and that follow-up discussions with students and teachers are ongoing. But this isn't like the early days of the AIDS epidemic. We know a lot about bullying. We know what kinds of environments help it thrive and we know what it takes to teach kids to treat each other with respect. The challenge, it seems, is showing the leadership at school and at home, to consistently walk the walk.

Their ban came at the height of the crisis over the proposed £40 million budget cap when they broke ranks and applied for unconditional entry into next year's championship while the remaining eight teams threatened to form a breakaway series.
Williams and Force India both maintained they were contractually bound to confirm their participation for the FIA-run championship, otherwise they would be severely penalised.
However, their move angered the other eight teams – Ferrari, McLaren, BMW Sauber, Renault, Toyota, Red Bull Racing, Toro Rosso and Brawn GP – resulting in their immediate suspension.
With peace now having broken out again, FOTA's executive committee says all teams competing in the championship are welcome to join the group. That means new teams Campos Grand Prix, Manor and US F1 are also eligible.
FOTA's stated aim now is to sit down with F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone in an attempt to improve the spectacle of the sport, and with the intention of securing its future beyond 2012, when the recently-signed Concorde Agreement expires.
A spokesman said: "The FOTA executive committee looks forward to working with the FIA and commercial rights holder to promote a healthy, dynamic and sustainable sport.
"To this end, FOTA intends to now enter into open discussion with the commercial rights holder with the wish to confirm arrangements beyond 2012.
"Furthermore, FOTA will now arrange a seminar, open to representatives of the major stakeholders, including media, sponsors and promoters, to discuss how working together we can develop the show, creating a more attractive spectacle for the fans."

Figuring out how to make the most of maths as homework moves online
My son is in Year Five, and over the past year the style and content of his maths homework has changed. He used to get one or more worksheets to complete weekly, but now his teacher often sets homework linked to maths websites. He seems to enjoy these tasks and gets on with them independently. The trouble is that it is much harder for me to monitor how he is getting on and to know what he is covering in class. Are most schools taking this new approach to maths homework and how can I help him?
Firstly, it is good to hear that your son is enjoying his mathematics homework and working independently. You have not mentioned the type of school he attends but certainly many international schools, in particular, are generally taking a more technology-based approach to homework.
Children today are digital learners and tend to be much more motivated by technology than paper-based activities. Educational research shows that our modern students are motivated by games in which quick decisions need to be made, especially ones in which they move up levels and get instant rewards. Research also shows that students learn, analyse and retain information more effectively when there are visuals involved. Therefore, your son is likely to find computer activities more stimulating and interesting than worksheets, and hence is also likely to be learning more.
With this type of activity, it is still possible to monitor what your son is doing and teachers do usually try to link homework to concepts being learned in the classroom. You can check the maths websites out for yourself and even have a go at the tasks set, which will give you a good idea of your son's level of competence. Talk to him about what he has learned and remember that positive praise is a great incentive.
You can also play a valuable part in your son's maths education outside school by helping him to recognise maths in daily life. For example, when you are out and about, estimate the length of journeys, look at timetables and encourage him to use money and check change. At home, you can measure ingredients in a recipe, look at different types of graphs in the newspaper, play board games (especially ones that help lateral and strategic thinking), look for shapes and angles in the environment, or cut a pizza into fractions. You will think of many more ideas together. Doing this will help your son realise the relevance of maths to his own life and will reinforce concepts taught in the classroom.
Teaching maths has changed over the years. Children no longer plough through textbooks as their parents did when they were at school. The focus in classrooms is less on simply manipulating numbers and more on problem solving and applying effective mental arithmetic strategies. The move away from the traditional type of worksheet is more challenging for children as they are not being spoon-fed but expected to think at a deeper level and make decisions. They are encouraged to 'have a go', estimate and experiment. The aim is to develop problem solvers who have high-level thinking skills, which are crucial to children becoming successful in their future lives.
This does not mean, however, that all traditional teaching methods are redundant. In fact, the opposite is true - teachers today take a more flexible approach, which allows for different learning styles and supports and challenges children of different abilities at their own level. Nevertheless, there is still room for a certain amount of repetitive practice when necessary and rote learning in areas such as times tables.
Maths can be an emotive subject among parents, especially those who lacked confidence in the subject themselves. It can be difficult for some parents to accept that teaching and learning styles have changed. Sometimes schools offer curriculum evenings to inform parents about current methodology. Do discuss any further questions you may have with your child's teacher or the maths co-ordinator at his school.
I fully understand that you want to support your son in his studies. Remember that homework is simply an extension of the wide range of maths activities that he will be doing in the classroom and, if planned properly, should be more than a useful time-filler. It is very positive that your son is completing his maths homework independently and organising his own time in preparation for secondary school and beyond.
Julie McGuire
My eldest son will soon be starting secondary school and we are worried that he is still too childish to cope with the new demands of more serious academic work. Our friends tell us that we should discourage him from wanting to play so much - that he needs to be more grown up, ready for the adult world. We feel torn between agreeing with them and allowing him to play when he wants to - which is often.
It is hard for us as parents to strike the right balance for our children: most of us would want them steadily to take more responsibility (to tidy up after themselves; not lose their belongings), yet we feel sad when we see their childhood innocence begin to fade.
If you feel pressured by your friends, that is a concern; there is no universal handbook for ideal parenting and you can be sure that whatever one parent believes to be an essential, unquestionably correct way to bring up a child, another will disagree with just as strongly.
It has recently become clear just how complex and controversial this subject is with the publication of Amy Chua's Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. The book's opening is deliberately provocative, listing all the expectations of the stereotypical, traditional Chinese mother. Reading other people's views may well help you to decide on your approach. But peer pressure should not make you anxious - you are the ones who know your son and can best judge what is right for him. The dictionary definition of 'play' is 'an activity engaged in for recreation and enjoyment'. Research can be found to prove almost anything is bad, or good for children, but here are a few thoughts: If your son's idea of play is to run around a lot, he is getting vital exercise that will make him fit and healthy - including his brain. If he plays with friends or siblings, he is learning socialising skills valuable for the rest of his life. If he acts out situations (through role play), he is making sense of all sorts of complex issues in life. At secondary school, your son - like many children - may find it hard to adjust to new demands: a larger community where he might feel insignificant or 'lost', a far wider range of different teachers to adapt to and a steadily growing, greater academic workload.
The new school should designate staff whose roles cover the general welfare and wider academic success of students. If you have concerns, contact those staff early on. They will welcome your involvement.

Household waste recycling centres were forced to shut suddenly in Sheffield today after staff walked out.
A resident said he turned up at the Deepcar centre only to find it had closed minutes before.
He added: "There must have been 20 other cars that turned up and had to pull away.
"What concerns me is Sheffield Council is going to have more fly-tipping and then council tax will go up to pay for it."
The other sites at Blackstock Road, Gleadless, and Douglas Road, Longley, were also shut.
Sheffield Council contractor Veolia, which sub-contracts the sites to The Green Company to run, said it was due to 'unforseen circumstances' .
Staff have been involved in a dispute with The Green Company over conditions and pay, striking this month.

text: I wasn't going to watch at first. I had made up in my mind that the Academy didn't deserve my viewership. Really, it didn't deserve ANY of our viewership…people of color, that is. After all, it was the 88th Academy Awards, and we were still having a conversation about the lack of diversity. We were tired. But ironically, the Academy asked Chris Rock, a legendary comedian, known for making crude jokes and pushing the envelope as far as it could possibly go to host this year's ceremony. And while I had pledged not to tune in on Sunday, I just had to see it for myself. I wanted to see Chris tear the Academy a new one, LIVE and in color.

While going through some old computer files the other day, I came across this old, old, old thingy! It's very random…just kind of a dumb story about when I caught my hair on fire while cleaning the bathroom once. Like I said…VERY random!
Cleaning the Bathroom
Otherwise Known As: The Flaming Heads of Housework
My least favorite part of housework? That's easy–cleaning the bathrooms. And let me tell you this…it's even worse when your hair is on fire. Seriously. I mean, who likes to clean the bathrooms? It just isn't one of the more carefree chores around. Whether you're a Clorox user, Ajax user, Soft Scrub user or even a Clorox Wipes user, it's just not something we all yearn for.
Now, personally, my cleanser of choice is Soft Scrub…abrasive without being damaging, a hint of bleach aroma (not too overpowering) and seems to get the job done per my expectations. Still, it's a dirty job and somebody has to do it. And, of course, everyone has different priorities when it comes to bathroom accessories.
For instance, when Kevin and I were first married, the store had this beautiful, pink, ruffly shower curtain that I wanted. So, I saved up $30.00 (a lot for a shower curtain back in 1985) and bought this beautiful, pink, ruffly shower curtain. Oh, it looked great! Pink, ruffly shower curtain, matching pink rugs, pink toilet seat cover and pink tank cover…the bathroom looked like it had been hosed down with the pinky pink stain The Cat in the Hat is trying to get rid of in The Cat in The Hat Comes Back. It was lovely!
And then there's the toilet brush incident that comes in to play in each newly wed couple's life. I had been taught to clean the toilet bowl with rubber gloves and some sort of disposable cleaning item such as an old rag, disposable sponge or brush. My mom hated toilet brushes, "perfect habitat for germs," so we never had one in my house growing up. However, Kevin's mom was pretty handy with a toilet brush and therefore, so is Kevin. (Now, this is one of the many fabulous things about Kevin…he shares bathroom cleaning responsibilities!) So, there we were…a newly wed couple…one toilet brush user and one disposable rubber glove and sponge user.
Well, about 11 months into our first year of marriage, the time came for our first interstate move. Yep, we were off to a new state, a new apartment and a new bathroom! And when we arrived in the new apartment I took the "bathroom" box into the new bathroom and began the task of putting together the lavatory. I unpacked the pink rugs, the pink toilet seat cover, the pink tank cover…and then, the last thing in the bathroom box, wrapped up in a plastic grocery sack, was our toilet brush! My beautiful, pink, ruffly, $30.00 shower curtain was nowhere to be found. Only a .33, and I might add, well used, toilet brush.
"Kevin!" I hollered, trying to remain calm. "Where's the shower curtain?"
"Oh, that thing," Kevin answered calmly, sauntering into the new bathroom. "I threw that ol' thing away."
"Threw it away?" I cried. "But the toilet brush is in here," I pointed out.
"Well, we needed that," he responded.
So, for the next 19 years we've joked about the $30.00 shower curtain that got thrown out in favor of the .33, used toilet brush.
That being neither here nor there, bathroom cleaning is not my activity of choice. Still, it has to be done. And so, a couple of years ago, there I was…cleaning the upstairs bathroom, the one adjoining my bedroom…just a cleaning away. Soft Scrubbing until my little heart was content. (Actually, I was grumbling and complaining the entire time.) Anyway, there was a little, footed, heart-shaped, ceramic candle holder, complete with a lovely, scented, two-wicked candle within, sitting on a white doily, on a forest green towel (doubling as a tank cover), on my toilet tank. Well, as candles do, this little candle had accumulated a bit of dust and as I was carefully dusting it, I broke off one of the tender wicks. Now, as any scented candle-lover knows, once you've broken a wick, it's murder trying to get the candle to stay lit afterward. But I loved this little candle! Therefore, I lit the wicks and set it back on the toilet tank so that I could relight it as needed while I finished up the joyous, 'cleaning of the bathroom'.
There I was, whistling while I worked, scrubbing the counters, the toilet bowl, etc. And then it was time for the floor. As I was bent over the toilet seat, scrubbing the small piece of floor between the wall and the toilet bottom, an odd, "sizzle, crackle, sizzle," noise, followed shortly by the undeniably familiar scent, rather stench, of burning hair. (It was the same scent I'd smelled a few years earlier when I had risen early one winter's morn, having forgotten to turn the thermostat up prior to retiring the night before, to a chilly house. Well, we all know, no matter what the instructions on your gas stove read…i.e. 'Do not use stove as an alternate heating source,' your first inclination when you've let the house get too cold, is to turn on the gas stove burners and stand before it, warming your hands over the open flames while the waiting for the furnace to fire up. So, there I stood, rubbing my hands together over the stove flames, when suddenly the all too familiar stench of burning hair reached by nostrils.
"Hmm," I thought. "I wonder where that all too familiar stench of burning hair is coming from." Suddenly, I noticed the strange, "sizzle, crackle, sizzle," noise coming from the vicinity of my arms. Sure enough, the tiny hairs on my arms were pretty much gone, except for a few valiant ones, which had curled tightly into tiny, seared knots of what was once a hair.) Yes, I could hear the sizzling, smell the foul stench of burning hair as I continued to clean the bathroom floor. Finally, I stood up and glanced down at the candle still burning on the toilet tank. It seemed fine and I couldn't fathom where the smell and noise were coming from. Everything seemed in order. Until the sizzling got louder. I turned to look in the mirror. As I caught site of myself in the mirror (looking a bit like Michael Jackson during the infamous Pepsi-commercial-hair-caught-on-fire incident of the 1980's) I thought simply, "Ahhhhh! My hair's on fire!" Oh, it wasn't a flaming inferno, by any means. Just a wee breath of a fire. Still, "Stop, drop and roll," was driven completely from my mind and all I could do was hop around the very clean bathroom, smacking myself on the head, an occasional yelp emanating from my voice box, until the sizzling stopped and the stench of burning hair dissipated.
It's funny how people, specifically hair stylists, expect there to be some dramatic explanation to the charred condition of your hair when you go in the next day to have the burnt area trimmed. Well, sure I'd only been in for a hair cut three days before. But obviously I had been cleaning my bathrooms since then. Hello?

Re: Murtishaw's in S C, TN, Ark., TX & OK
Fred Murtishaw 1/20/01
What is the connection between Calvin Calhoun/Mary Smith Alexander and the Murtishaws?
My grandmother and her brother William were born around Pacolet, S.C.
Gertrude Maude Alexander (my grandmother) was born on Aug. 17, 1891. Uncle Will (as her brother William was called) married Beatrice Tisdale, my grandfather's brother.
It is a fact that Calvin Calhoun Alexander and his wife Mary Smith adopted and raised my grandmother and her brother. I don't know the circumstances other than what old family members have told me over thr years.
I will keep digging. Thanks for any help you can be. It looks as though you and Thomas and Ruth Ann Harris have done a lot of work.

Let me share the story of a lady I met, who reminded me why I love this hobby.
I went to Aphar Faire this weekend. Now sometimes you go to an event for a specific reason - you're the hall steward, or you've volunteered to teach a class, or you just want to go enjoy the event and see your friends. I went this weekend because it was Aphar Faire. We always go! (And we were both working, of course.) Spent some time with some wonderful folks. Laughed with friends. Enjoyed the day. Worked troll, watched archery, and helped teach a class. And I met a wonderful lady who reminded me of why I do the things I do. She was so happy to take the silk banner class. She told me she had come to this event for two reasons. 1. To take the silk banner class, and 2. for the French feast. She and her husband had bought some silk to make banners. And some of you understand that daunting moment when you start the project - that first cut, or stroke of paint, or cut of the knife. This "first" was a bit daunting for her. And so she came from Memphis to take THIS class. To get some experience so she could finally make her banners. She was thrilled. She got to try it, she found out how much fun it is, got the hand-outs and was ready to go home and make her banners. That was my Moment for the day. You remember those? The one that makes it all worth while.
We finally got the hall set up for feast. Now the hall is not huge. The ceiling fans help, but it still gets hot. The kitchen was small. You could stand in the middle and reach the sink and the fridge at the same time. One step left and you could reach the stove and the outside counter. No walls to separate it from the hall. And no room to set up trenchers. They had a table set up holding food that was ready to be plated. They had a table with the drinks. And I was told help was needed, so I went to see what I could do. We covered trenchers in foil and set them on a corner of one table. I had to hold the trencher while one of the three (in that tiny little space) kitchen ladies placed the food from the counter, then I had to ladle food from the roasting pans and pass it out to a lady who finished dishing the food for that trencher before she passed it to the server to be carried to their table. So we developed a nice assembly line. And it was juicy food! And it spilled often. On the floor, on the counters, on our clothes. And so we finished serving that remove. And I looked up to thank whomever it was who had been drafted to help. And it was Her. The lady who had come from Memphis to take the banner class and eat the feast she was now serving. And so I thanked her. And sent her back to her table to eat. And she came back, every remove, to help plate the food and pass the trencher along to be served. She not only ate the feast, she wore it. We were so messy! But she had such a fabulous smile because she was having fun. And she reminded me that I play this game to help others have a good time.
So I wanted to share the story, of the lady from Memphis, who was such a wonderful reminder of why I enjoy the game we play. She was the breath of fresh air that brought fun back to my game.
Thank you.

A's Josh Donaldson in Home Run Derby field
Updated 11:22 pm, Thursday, July 10, 2014
Josh Donaldson is eager to "put on a show."
The A's third baseman, named an All-Star starter Sunday, learned Thursday that he is the AL's fifth and final entrant in Monday night's Home Run Derby at Target Field in Minneapolis.
Some hitters - and their managers and batting coaches - fear competing in the event can mess with their swing. Not so for Donaldson.
"It's just one of those things that's pretty fun," Donaldson said. "In BP, I like to hit homers, too. It's just going to be another round of batting practice - except with a lot more people watching."
Donaldson got the word from AL captain Jose Bautista via text before Thursday's game at AT&T Park. Those two are joined by Baltimore's Adam Jones, Minnesota's Brian Dozier and the A's Yoenis Céspedes. (Colorado's Justin Morneau was added by teammate Troy Tulowitzki to the NL lineup Thursday.)
A's manager Bob Melvin joked that having another one of his hitters in the Home Run Derby is "just another thing to worry about." Melvin does appreciate the motivation for Donaldson and Céspedes.
"I hope they enjoy it," Melvin said, "and they come back in one piece."
Melvin truly appreciated Donaldson's performance Thursday. He went 2-for-3 with a walk. Both of his hits, including his 20th homer of the season, went to the opposite field.
"I feel like I've been hitting the ball somewhat to right field," he said, "but it's kind of just been more of like a 'guide,' versus trying to drive pitches, and I've hit a lot of lazy flyballs in the last week to right field."
Donaldson lugged a 16-for-111 (.144) funk into the game. In upping his average to .241, Donaldson took over sole possession of the team lead in RBIs with 65.
Briefly: Stephen Vogt hit run-scoring singles in consecutive innings (fifth and sixth) and extended his career-high hitting streak to 10 games. ... Tough day for Céspedes: He went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts and allowed Ehire Adrianza's catchable flyball to fall in front of him.

A's Leading off
Flying in style: The A's are renting a 14-seat G-IV jet to transport their All-Stars (and some family members) from Seattle to Minneapolis on Sunday. It's the first time the A's have rented a jet that large for the All-Star Game since Tony La Russa's coaching staff accompanied All-Star players from Kansas City to Toronto for the '91 game.

Everyone has a secret wish list. You know, the things that you can't justifying splurging on when there are groceries to be bought and electric bills to be paid, but they still tug gently on your heart. Personally, I don't yearn for designer shoes or jewelry, splashy cars or fashionable evenings out. It might sound weird, but I lust for wool felt!
Is that strange? Maybe, but today I received my Wool Felt Swatch Pack from Prairie Point Junction. 78 beautiful, rich colors, calling to me! 78 6″ x 6″ samples to combine, stack, and figuratively, roll in! On the surface it might seem like a rather innocent infatuation, but I want to buy a piece of every color I pick up, but at $9.00 a yard, it would cost $351.00 to buy 1/2 yard of each. (Of course I did the math!)
I can't justify that no matter how I try. So I got serious, and started pulling out the colors I thought I could live without. When I was done, the "don't need" pile consisted of shamrock, Hallow's Eve, and chartreuse. Okay, down to $337.50. Hmmm, make that $342.00…I added chartreuse back in!
You can see where this is going. I would LOVE to have a cupboard filled with all these colors. Truth be told I already have 30 colors stacked in my cupboard, but I want more! You never know when you'll need a piece of peacock or vineyard to give the perfect finishing touch to a project. But with Christmas just around the corner, I'll restrain from anything that is not directly needed for gifts. But I'll keep my stack handy…and occasionally fan through the swatches, dreaming of owning all the colors…with matching DMC floss!
I know I'm not alone in this! What is your personal crafting supply weakness?

When Christopher Columbus first spotted the hills and fabulous beaches of this rugged mountainous region of Cuba in 1492, he declared it to be "the most beautiful land eyes have ever seen." Today, Holguin's mountains and tropical forests remain virtually untouched and all its visitors find the region's pristine beaches, gorgeous lagoons and bays irresistible. Covering approximately 40 km of coastline, Holguin's close to 50 beaches are some of the most picturesque in the Caribbean. The protection of nearby coral reefs ensures that the warm turquoise waters remain calm and inviting. At Bahia Naranjo, a natural aquarium houses seals and dolphins that delight in putting on a show and visitors can swim with the dolphins. Tour a cigar factory or, in the provincial capital named the City of Holguin, stroll through lovely parks, admire interesting monuments and tour fascinating historical buildings. Top it off with a panoramic view of the city from Mayabe Lookout. End the day by enjoying traditional Cuban hospitality as you feast on freshly prepared seafood just a short distance from the sea.
Please choose your preferred gateway from the list below:

Holguin is located in southeast Cuba, and is bordered by the North Atlantic Ocean.

What if he was reading the Satanic Bible instead? Yep, that might have worked just as well. It's physics, not a miracle.
Dayton RTA driver saved by religious text
Rickey Wagoner, 49, of Trotwood, was assaulted by three men in the 1900 block of Lakeview Avenue, while standing outside of his bus.
Three shots were fired at Wagoner — one struck him in the right leg and two were fired into his chest. Police said those bullets were stopped by some sort of "intervention."
"The two bullets were stopped by the New Testament book in his (shirt) pocket,"Pauley said. Police later referred to the book as a religious devotional titled "The Message," which is a modern translation of the Bible.
"There was obviously some kind of intervention involved in this incident, because he probably should not be here," Pauley said.
Sgt. Michael Pauley from the Dayton Police says that Wagoner's injuries are not life threatening and he will be OK.
There have been no arrests nor are any suspects named yet, but it might look like this is related to gang violence. A possible initiation ritual of sorts.
Regardless, ANY reasonably thick book would have slowed the bullet. It just so happens that religious texts are made in pocket sizes and often carried, thus, they are credited with softening the blows. This story is bolstered by religious belief of the victim and the readers but it's not any sort of evidence for divine intervention.

text: As a family, we love taking long hikes through the national parks, local green spaces and beach front trails. With the right carrier, you can keep up with an active outdoor lifestyle even with a busy baby. We have been using Phil & Teds Escape carrier all Fall and have to say, it just might be the most fabulous baby carrier we've had the pleasure of using. The Escape has all the features we need and appreciate as parents, like it's sturdy base, and relatively compact size. It's not small, but compared to other carriers out there it really takes up less precious space in our car and when we store it away. Love the comfort that our baby has in the carrier, while remaining safely and securely strapped in, and the added foot stirrups for better circulation are an extra treat ( they also help keep the mud off mommy's coat!). Nothing worse then a wiggly unhappy baby half way through your family hike but with the Escape, we've had nothing but a content little tot. So content and comfy that she falls asleep on our long walks. If you are looking for a carrier and are new to the baby game, keep in mind Phil & Teds solid reputation and loyal following. They know their baby gear.

Ocean Ave Seafood Santa Monica Reviews
115 reviews
Feb 02, 2008
i am a bit torn. while the food was not spectacular (and dare i say, below par), i was quite taken by the view. watching a beautiful santa monica sunset while supping was fabulous. true, there were other restaurants along ocean blvd that could have just as easily fit the bill for good sunset viewing, but i am not reviewing those right now, aren't i?
ok, enough of the sass and on to the review.
every year, a few restaurants in or around la participate in a 2-week dine la program. the idea is that the participating restaurants get to lure diners in by offering a sampling of the food they usually serve through prix fixe menus - 3 courses - at a set price; one for lunch and/or one for dinner. one usually has a choice of an appetizer, a main course and a dessert. for this restaurant, the price was $35 plus tax and tip for the prix fixe dinner menu (thanks for the correction, jen).
the appetizer choices were: lobster taquitos, scallops and another dish that escapes me right now. i chose the lobster taquitos because it was supposed to be a signature dish. bad sign that THAT was the signature dish. the lobster was overwhelmed by the flavor of the fried corn tortilla and the tomato sauce in which the lobster was marinating in.
the main course choices were: a white fish of the day, prime culotte and a pasta vegetarian dish. the server (who was friendly, helpful and not intrusive) informed me that he would not recommend the white fish. i do appreciate such honesty and thus, i took him up on his offer. the problem is that i don't eat the cow, so i was stuck with the pasta. i thought i could have cooked better pasta, and those who know me know that i don't cook. the sauce tasted like it came out of a bottle (or can).
there were also dessert choices but only one really stood out: the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream on the side. this was what i had. as much as everything else has disappointed me, i did enjoy this cake. it was not too sweet - both the cake and the icing. it was good (although not spectacular).
jen, my dining buddy, decided to order off the main menu and opted for the cioppino. her meal was definitely better than mine although the shrimp could have been more tender.
the verdict: come for the view not the food.

Sybil and I went to Ocean Ave Seafood during DineLA so they had prix fixe menus that would allow us to have 3 courses at a fraction of the price. Unfortunately, none of the items on this menu appealed to me, and I ordered the cioppino, which turned out to be wonderful.
This is a difficult place to gauge, because some items are great and while others are mediocre. However, all items are very expensive, so pick carefully!
Sybil ordered some lobster taquitos, which sounds average but tasted wonderful, with dallops of guacamole and sour cream. The cioppino was lovely, with sweet shrimp, clams and lobster. The chocolate cake was to die for with sweet, fresh strawberry slices! However, the pasta primavera was mediocre.
I recommend this place for those who want to try good seafood and have a little extra cash to spend. Servers are really young/good looking here too!

Ocean Ave Seafood is a seafood restaurant located within walking distance of the 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica. I would give it 3 stars because the food wasn't terrible, but it was just way overpriced. I ordered Cod served with a sweet glaze sauce and complemented by bok choy and rice. The bok choy was pretty good, but the rice literally looked like it had just been dumped out of a bown upside down onto the side of my plate. Not much for presentation...
The cod was good but not really noteworthy. Overall the experience was average, but the prices were far above average.
My theory is that you can tell almost anything you need to know about a restaurant by the kind of bread they serve. If the bread is homemade, served warm, freshly sliced and delicious, the entrees usually follow suit. You can tell a lot about the kind of care a restaurant is going to put into your food by the care they put into selecting and serving your bread. If, however, the bread is average, then you can expect your food to be the same. This was the case with Ocean Ave Seafood.
Still looking for a good seafood place in LA!

I have been playing around with Bing Webmaster Tools for the last couple of days looking at how to improve my site. There is a great tool that you can use within it called SEO Analyser that will look at your posts and pages and suggest improvements that can be made. Let's take a closer look on how you can use it to boost your site.
Google vs Bing Webmaster Tools
Google Webmaster Tools gets a lot of the limelight as being "the best" webmaster tool set to use, as it is built on the most popular search engine, but that doesn't mean you should neglect others.
Bing is the second largest search engine (about 20% market share) used by people, so it makes sense to optimize your site for it. If you don't, you could be potentially missing out on a lot of traffic. A lot of people make the assumption that if they are on Google, they will be on Bing as well. That isn't necessarily the case (certainly not to the same degree), which is why you need to do some work behind the scenes – this is where Bing Webmaster Tools comes in.
Stop thinking about Google and Bing as rivals and which one is better, as your website can benefit from both. You just need to make sure that you are ranking well on each.
Improving Your SEO
Having used both Google Webmaster Tools & Bing Webmaster Tools, I have noticed that they each pick up on different SEO aspects. What shows up as "needed improvements" on one won't necessarily show up on the other (and visa versa).
To truly improve your overall website SEO you will need to use both, as only then you will be able to get the best results.
Using The Bing SEO Analyzer Tool
So, first things first, you obviously need a Bing Webmaster Tools account. If you haven't already got one, you can sign up here.
Once signed up and logged in, you can go to the 'Diagnostics & Tools' section to find the SEO Analyzer.
Here you can enter in a URL to assess where it will give SEO improvement suggestions that you can make (if any).
Below, I have entered in one of my posts '10 Steps To Write Amazing Content!' (the first ever post that I published on the site) to show you as an example.
Not surprisingly, there are a couple of issues that I can work on. I have used quite a few H1 tags for my subtitles (use H2 tags instead for subheadings, there should only be 1 H1 tag for your main post title) and I seem to have forgotten to add an ALT tag for one of my images.
These are all easy mistakes to make, especially when starting out. All I have to do now is go back and sort out those issues in WordPress. Interestingly, these issues didn't appear on my Google Webmaster Tools, which is why it's good to use both.
Quick Tip – When going back and editing old posts, now is the perfect time to do a bit of editing. Make any amendments, add internal links to newer pages (where relevant), optimise your images, etc.
Once you have made the necessary edits, you can update your post/page and move onto another. Depending on the size of your site this can seem like a big job. In reality though, more often than not, there will only be minor changes (like the ones I had) to deal with. If on the other hand there are some major changes needed, at least you will know where you are going wrong.
It is well worth the time spending on doing this for your site. If you can fix any issues it will help you to rank higher in Bing (potentially other search engines as well). The SEO Analyzer tool is a great one to have in your arsenal. Not only will you be able to make improvements to your posts, but it will monitor your site (when you add your site to Bing Webmaster Tools) and let you know when any issues arise.
Do you use Bing Webmaster Tools? Have you tried the Bing SEO Analyzer tool? If so, what did you make of it? What issues (if any) did you have to fix? Please let us know below by leaving a comment.

A joint US/Soviet invasion of Japan lead to a global nuclear war in 1973. Zero, the main character, is a bounty hunter with a dream of reaching a fabled land left untouched by the nuclear fires, a land called "Africa"…

A fantasy novel set in a world where flesh-eating giants have pushed human beings to the edge of extinction. Sorcery is humanity's only means of survival, and Therial of Alundil has just failed his final test. That's bad enough, but his life is about to get a whole lot more complicated…
After far too long, the manuscript for The Band of The Crow is finished. It's the first in a series called The Seven Branches. I'm in the process of finding a literary agent and publisher, and I'll be posting updates on Arvidland!
I just finished the map, too – take a gander right here.

This great BBC clip shows how certain animals can be put into hypnotic trance. Evolutionary biologists theorize that these states may be used as a defense mechanism to avoid predators.
As you will see in the video, these animals become very still and almost "dead-like" after they enter state. Since most predators react to their prey based on movement, they often overlook their targets when these animals enter trance. In this video you will see hypnosis applied to chickens and alligators:
