Police said the Interstate 91 flyover from Interstate 84 in Hartford has reopened following a mid-morning crash.
According to police, the crash was reported at 8:45 a.m. on the ramp, which connects Interstate 84 east to Interstate 91 north. The truck and trailer collided with a jersey barrier and was in fear of falling on Interstate 91 north. Police closed two lanes as light poles fro the flyover also fell on the roadway below.
Police notified Rentschler Field and Hartford Marathon command staff of the "significant traffic issue," and police are working to clear the accident as soon as possible.
Police cleared the light poles and reopened Interstate 91 north, however motorists are advised to allow for extra travel time or avoid the area due to the significant traffic expected with both the marathon and UConn football game this afternoon.
According to police, the accident has closed exit 51 from I-84 eastbound. Two lanes are also closed on I-91 northbound in the area.
No injuries were reported.

Wonderful light but tasty recipe to go with a rich holiday meal. The orange gives it a wonderful flavor. I used frozen green beans that I thawed and they worked nicely. My husband suggested we try it with asparagus and it is great that way too!
Citrus Green Beans with Pine Nuts

I made this for an early Thanksgiving dinner and it was my favorite dish of the meal, probably my favorite green bean dish I've had! Could probably make it any season and be good...
jrcinms Posted: 10/31/10
Delicious and fresh tasting. A nice new take on the traditional green bean side dish.
eclecticstyle Posted: 11/25/10
I prepared this receipe for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit! I was in charge of the sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce and my son's favorite pasta marinara. Each of the dishes (except the pasta) had an orange theme running through it. Everyone was amazed at how fresh and delicious the beans were. I was very careful not to overcook the beans so that they could be reheated just before the meal in the microwave for 3 min.
SueBJohnson Posted: 12/16/10
I agree with the other reviews. I made it at Thanksgiving and everyone loved it, taking seconds!
Cissy1970 Posted: 04/23/11
I make this for every holiday dinner (when green beans are in season). I LOVE this recipe! It's so easy and so delicious!!! My family loves it too. I usually add more orange zest & juice for a more citrus taste. If pine nuts are too expensive, I substitute pecans and find it just as yummy. I would recommend this recipe to anyone - and - I have!
foodieforpeace Posted: 04/24/11
What a side! Enjoyed this for holiday dinner today with orange baked ham and CL pot luck potato casserole. Cooked (steamed vs boiled) the green beans in advance to make life easy. Made recipe as it reads. Would make it anytime.
MaryEliz Posted: 11/23/12
What a tasty yet light addition to the Thanksgiving meal! Let's face it, no one is going to go for seconds on the vegetables when there are stuffing, potatoes and gravy to be had, but this was flavorful enough that people noted the orange essence and the toasted pine nuts. This is easy enough to make on a weeknight.

A hazardous substance?
Now that the EPA has designated carbon dioxide as a hazardous substance, I'm wondering where I need to go to apply for my hazmat disposal permit so I can legally continue to exhale? Don't you just love all this "Hope & Change"?

If you are looking to create a wireless speaker or even a system of wireless speakers this is certainly the app for you!

DON'T Say This to Black People!
Guest blogger Real Moms Have Curves: I am fed up with dumb comments and questions about my race. Here's why.
When it comes to blacks and whites talking about race, I understand the inevitable discomfort and struggle for words and opinions that are honest, yet politically correct. If I say this, will I sound racist? Insensitive? Ignorant? Will she take offense? are some thoughts that are bound to come up.
According to the NY Times however, Barack Obama's win has actually become an instant icebreaker, allowing blacks and whites to talk more freely. But before you eagerly hop into these conversations using Barack as a stepping stone, let me give you a few of the top dumbest things never to say to blacks (from my own experience). Trust me, your social life will thank me:
1. You only like that book because it has a strong black female character (from my college professor).
2. Is all that hair yours? Can I touch it?
3. You don't sound black (which sounds like ... ?)
4. Do people in Africa wear shoes?
5. Kwanzaa is a bullsh*t holiday
6. You don't like fried chicken?
7. Do you have the same mother and father?
Yes, you would think that the above statements would come from uneducated people who have never read a book. Surprisingly, I get these cracks from people who hold degrees from some of the best schools in the country.
So after all the inauguration hoopla is over, the last martini downed and the last cheese cube munched, we will have a "black" president. I hope that he, with his beautiful family, will usher in not only a new day of political and economic stability, but also a time of open dialogue between different races on a worldwide level.
At the bare minimum, I am looking forward to a day where I can speak properly without getting strange looks, have long hair without a weave and turn down fried chicken with relish. It may not be as deep as Martin Luther King's dream, but it's a beginning.
I feel you girl! lol
I really can't believe people would ask such questions! Stay strong girl!
I feel rather proud of myself to know that I would have never said any of those things. Although I will admit to being rather ignorant of other races. It is simply from lack of exposure to them. But that is not a good enough excuse to say stupid stereotypical things such as you mentioned.
After living in Minnesota for a few years, I know to expect such dumb comments from educated dummies. Here's a sampling:
A co-worker came up to me while I was reading Ebony and said, "Oh, is there a magazine called "Ivory"? To him I replied, "Yes, I think y'all call it "People."
Another one asked if I ever read books about white people. To him I replied I met my quota in high school.
To my kids (I have 4), "Oh, you mean all of you have the same last name"?
Some people are ignorant, yes it's true. Others are just curious. I'm white, and I've never felt a weave. If I were curious and wanted to know more about them, is that ignorant? Also, it is pretty common where I live (Albany NY) for moms and their children to have different last names. Is assuming you have a different last name any worse than assuming you do? I don't understand how that's offensive. The last question I have is this: Are you seriously saying that it's impossible to tell a black person's voice from a white person? I can tell the difference easily. No, not all black people have an accent. But alot of them do. I think the race card is used way too much.
Stop using race as a crutch.
And yet two people just responded with the word "girl". I feel you girl and stay strong "girl". That can almost be construed as something said around black women.
Just food for thought…
RE: You don't sound black. Yes, that's a stupid thing to say, but don't pretend you don't know what they mean. Many African-Americans have kept a Southern dialect which is distinctive from Euro-Caucasian's. Blacks make a conscious decision to eliminate the dialect and talk with the Caucasian dialect or keep it. Sometimes it's a source of pride, sometimes it's a sore spot. Don't ignore that it doesn't exist, culturally.
Daaang, people are ignorant, huh? Even commenters. And to the person (Crystal) who asked why it might be considered offensive to assume that all of a black woman's children are by different men, just take ten minutes and think about that. Go on. We'll wait.
Also, the thing about "sounding black" - the use of an "accent", which is actually a use of dialect/slang combined with a regional accent (not a diminished "Southern accent", as someone else wrote above) is actually a use of vernacular language correlated with socioeconomic status, not race.
Firstly, race is a social construct - people of Fijian, Samoan, Haitian, Brazilian, Nigerian, and 5-generations in-the-country African American would all be considered black. Not a single one of those people would sound alike, either in person or on the phone.
Thus, the faux pas is in assuming that someone in that when you hear a voice that indicates a certain socioeconomic strata, you can safely make an assumption that the person speaking must be of a given race. In simpler words, you're assuming that only white kids sound like they went to prep school.
I was raised in a wealthy African-American community, I went to private schools most of my life, and I'm currently a graduate student in biology. I've never "hidden my accent" or "made a conscious decision to eliminate the dialect" (Jennifer M.); it simply was never there. This is how I speak. This is how my family speaks. This is how most of my friends speak. This is a standard American accent. It's insulting for you imply that it's some put-upon show for white people, and that the minute you leave, we're all "C'MON, Y'ALL! WE'S KIN TALK RIGHT NOW!!" You don't own the standard American accent. It's not a Caucasian dialect. Languages in the Ural Mountains are Caucasian dialects. Read a book sometime, maybe.
So, to sum, no, you cannot tell a black person's voice over the phone. Idiots.
P.S. Jennifer M. - The Southern accent dominant throughout the southeastern United States (I assume that's the one you're referring to?) is actually extremely similar in both whites and blacks of that region, and strongly dissimilar from northerners of all races. Maybe you should road trip around the U.S. sometime. It could be a really great experience for you.
To the person that just commented above, why would you defend the people that speak of "talking like you are black?" You are one of the uneducated people we are all talking about. I doesn't matter whether you have a GED or a PhD, because if you say something like that, you haven't seen enough of the world. Yes, people in urban areas speak differently than people in suburban and academic areas. I say PEOPLE because white people, latinos, asians, and everyone else in urban areas speak differently! If you think it is because they are black, then you are a fool. In fact, keeping that idea alive is what makes a lot of African-Americans feel embarrassed to go to college and higher, because people back where they might come from will say "you are talkin like you are white!" There is no "white" talk or "black" talk. So let them feel good about becoming educated!
To the person that posted this: I am sorry you have had to go through this. I wish I were around when these things were said so that I could defend you, although you sound like you can handle yourself. I am sick of living in suburban areas where stuff like this goes around like crazy. An example: "Black people are better at basketball because they have an extra bone in their foot!" First of all, all I can do in response is "……………" Second, why would an extra bone affect playing basketball? Third, I recently took a sociology class where they touched upon this (and no, I am not one of those people who claims to know all because I am somewhere in college; I plan on becoming a theoretical physicist, and have been published twice, so leave that "you think you know everything" crap behind), where the same thing was said about Italians in the 1920's because they were dominating in basketball in the time. Sorry to make this more about myself, I'll shut up since this is your blog!
ok so from my grandmotherinlaw who gre up in cicero, IL. "but how could she tell her face was dirty? she was not fair like you."
Kat, being proud of not being totally rude and offensive is… well, kinda rude and offensive. Do you want a medal every time you remember to say please, too?
Funny story—When my baby was born I brought her by my college to show my boyfirend's professor. inevitably, we got to talking about her kids.
She was telling me how one of her twins was white, the other black.
A girl in her class goes, "Oh my God, what did your husband say?!?"
I stifled a laugh, but prof was calm and explained to her that her husband was black and that sometimes this happens with mixed-race twins.
This girl proceeds to say, "Oh, I know what they call that…Mongoloid, right?"
OK, that time, i really did laugh.
Also, if you're curious as what a weave feels like, it feels like hair. Its made from hair. If you get the urge, touch your head. Yay! Now you know what weave feels like!
Black. White. Get a clue people, we are not a jumble of races on the planet but just one - the human race.
Being biracial is no picnic, either. It opens up a whole slew of offensive possibilities. My favorite question is "What are you?"
Human female. Thanks for asking.
obama is not a BLACK president!!!!!!!!!!!!He is a mixed race president…….I am sick of hearing otherwise
Jill, I like your answer to that awful question! On forms I usually answer the question of race with "human". I grew up with a very racist father. He was very vocal about his beliefs. He went on and on about anyone that wasn't just like him but especially about black people. I remember even as a really young kid just sitting there bewildered by it all. I mean, it's just skin for goodness sake! I never understood how he could be so angry and so prejudiced against another person just because of the color of their skin. But I got a close up look at predjudice. I got to see that it is cowardly, ignorant and insane and I am so very glad I had the good sense to see my father for what he was. I wish I could say the same about my brothers. I don't understand the segregation of "races". Even now in our supposedly enlightened times people keep themselves seperate from those that are different from themselves. It makes no sense to me at all when in the end we are all just people.
Just for the record Al:
And to the person (Crystal) who asked why it might be considered offensive to assume that all of a black woman's children are by different men, just take ten minutes and think about that. Go on. We'll wait.
Where in my post did I say that all of a black woman's children are by different men? I simply stated that it is not uncommon in my city. It's sadly pretty much the norm for both blacks and whites here. Don't put words in my mouth. I never said all black people have 5 kids with 5 different baby daddies. Which is what you assumed I meant.

At a John McCain Presidential campaign stop on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, a woman is the audience publicly uttered the words that many Republicans have used in private to describe the party's concerns with Democratic front runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"How," the woman wanted to know, "do we beat the bitch?"
McCain smiled and called her query "an excellent question," setting off a political firestorm from Clinton supporters who want to know why the Arizona Senator didn't get huffy and say something like "how dare you call my esteemed colleague from New York by that terrible word!"
Instead, the McCain campaign is trying to turn the B-bomb (as it is now called) into a fundraising opportunity, much like John Edwards did when Ann Coulter called him a "faggot."
Politics may be a nasty business but it is one that each side hypocritically claims must be played politely – at least in public.
During my time in Washington, I heard Hillary Clinton called many things. "Bitch" is one of the more polite terms. I also heard her call male members of Congress "bastards" and "sons of bitches" and "motherfuckers."
Hillary, like her husband, has a mouth that would embarrass a sailor (and McCain was one). As First Lady, she would tell aides who displeased her to "fuck off," often referred to opponents as "shit heads" and "dick heads." Like the equally-foul mouthed George W. Bush, she sprinkles her conversation with four-letter words.
During the 2004 Presidential campaign, Democratic contender John Kerry came under fire for saying "fuck" in an interview with Rolling Stone but his language paled next to Bush, whose Presidential temper tantrums are laced with expletives and threats against his enemies.
I first met George W. Bush in 1998 while attending a GOP fundraiser outside of Houston for Harris County Judge Robert Eckels. Bush, as governor of Texas , was already putting together his campaign for President and was the center of attention. When asked how he would run his campaign, Bush said "I'll raise more money than anyone else and destroy anyone who fucks with me."
Eight years earlier, while serving as Vice President for Political Programs for The National Association of Realtors, I traveled to Little Rock for a meeting of the state Realtors group and then-Gov. Bill Clinton and his wife attended a reception at the city's largest hotel.
Mrs. Clinton kept female attendees at the reception entertained with a seemingly endless stream of dirty jokes, even ones about her philandering husband. Bill was already running for President and Hillary told me that the national Realtors PAC should "get on board early with him.
"Fuck the others," she said. "They don't stand a chance."
I didn't think anything of her language, just as the remarks of George W. Bush wouldn't bother me eight years later. I've spent most of my adult life around journalists and politicians who use four-letter words more often than rap singers and I use them often too
The woman who asked John McCain how to "beat the bitch" was simply repeating a phrase heard often in Republican circles. In 2004 Democrats wanted to know how to beat a "bastard" named Bush.
Hillary Clinton is a bitch. John McCain is a bastard. Most people involved in politics are one or the other. That's a fact of life and one that does not need to become another campaign issue diversion.
With Americans dying daily in Iraq, the economy headed into the toilet and most Americans worried about the future, what we have to do is weigh the real issues and then elect the best bitch or bastard to deal with them.
28 Responses to "Yes, Hillary Clinton is a bitch"
Would it be productive to list Hillary's negatives? Obviously, she is a polarizing bitch, as has been amply established here. I am fearfully inclined in her favor in view of her behind the scenes experience in Bill's WH tenure, her intelligence–Harvard law school lawyer, 2nd term senator, etc. But allow me to start the negatives list:
1) Excessively ego driven to be president.
2) Pandering double talking liar.
3) Lacking integrity, i.e. the missing law firm documents turning up mysteriously on a WH basement table.
4) Favors a too robust foreign policy, i.e. likely to keep us in Iraq for another decade or longer.
5. Too beholden to corrupting corporate interests–NAFTA, etc.
As a benefit to all CHB posters, may I invite others to add to the list.

Oops! I see now I should have read the other Hillary pieces before responding to this "Bitch" article, as the Comments offered by Seal and Sawbuck are both hard hitting and provocative. Sawbuck's is apparently well researched and Seal's is very scary in pointing out how important it is we nominate a viable candidate. One other frightful aspect of a Hillary presidency is Bill's very cozy relationship with the Chimp's father. The idea of the Bush "crime family" in cahoots with Slick Willy's 2nd sojourn in the WH is too devilish to contemplate.
Bill Clinton was involved with Bush's drug running operation at Mena,Ark.
Brevity IS the soul of wit! ASSHOLE is a fine gender-neutral term for politicians. There are others, of course, but I second your nomination.
The tone of "how dare you" was far beyond "no" or "I dont know". There is a clear difference to a reasonable person. You just dont hear Bill or Hillary brook that type of nonsense, and you dont hear them calling Bush a bastard in a press conference. Then you have people that come out and say "Well I heard her say 'shit' in a meeting". Well whoopty do. That just makes her better if she can cuss when appropriate.
The party of values has shown that once again, they don't have any. I would imagine the talking heads of Fox News would still be shrieking and gnashing their teeth if a Democratic candidate had called Laura Bush (or even Ann Coulter) a similar epithet in public.
If Hillary's a bitch, I wanna be one too.
Since George the First rose to power in 1988, then Bill in 1992, then Junior was Selected in 2000. Now we have the specter of Hillary in 2008 until the year 2016 if she gets reelected. Does is bother anyone else like it bothers me, that for 28 years in this country that the best we can do is members of two families? I mean what the fuck is this, The War of the Roses? Shakespeare would be spinning in his grave.

At the very LEAST the Cheney/Bush Junta ALLOWED 911 to happen.
— Kent Shaw
Of all the "assholes" debating last night Hillary was the best with Joe a close second…but Barak was by far the biggest and most inept asshole of them all! I am not a Hillary supporter nor am I a Hillary hater. Most of the media only speaks bad of her and I am sick of it…this race, if the media has their way will be between Guliani and Obama…neither of whom I would trust to be president…Rudy is a crook and barak a neophyte. Paul and Kucinich are not given the time of day even though they both have a staunch following. I want the media to start asking pertinent questions to ALL THE CANDIDATES and keep at them until they get them to answer what we voters need to know about them. By the way…my guess would be that Jimmy Carter probably had the cleanest mouth of any President when the mikes were off and nobody gave a damn!
Don't forget they have little brother Jeb Bush who just completed two terms as governor of Florida to take over in 2016 – 2024 and by then the Clinton's daughter should be ready.
I have heard that Bush's plan to fix it so they can't get out of the war consists of getting a democrat elected that will continue the war. To me this sounds like Hillary has signed onto team Bush. No big surprise.
Here is a good link to some Clinton/Berger info.
And, I sure would not want to go through the info in this link again. Things are quickly forgotten. Maybe, we should all make an effort to remember.
Army desertion rate makes dramatic jump:
I couldn't think of any place else to post this. It is significant. 4698 soldiers have deserted this year – that's 9 out of every 1000. These numbers are extremely unusual for an "occupation." Iraq isn't like Vietnam where you were actually in a real war, being shot at every day, and the chances of being killed were very high. The "combat" in Iraq is digging out the insurgents and hoping to miss the roadside bombs.
This tells me they are not deserting out of fear but because they see this "war" as bullshit and not worth putting their life on the line for.
Clinton says she will remove the troops from Iraq, except for those needed to protect the world's largest embassy, some to continue training Iraqis (no doubt quartered on those enduring bases that have been built) and some to continue the fight against al qaeda. So basically she's going to leave a hundred thousand soldiers and a hundred thousand contractors. But she IS getting us "out".
— Kent Shaw
Kent Shaw,
Hillary has ALSO said that she cannot promise us to be out of Iraq anytime soon. She won't even promise to push for us to be out of Iraq anytime soon. It's precisely that kind of inconsistent, pandering doubletalk that makes people (like me) sick of her lying, conceited, establishment self.
whatever happened to polite society?
My parents did not use foul language. They were some of the few who actually lived up to their own beliefs.
Yeah, almost every one does it.
I still hate it.
How could any of us say it any better? Just wonderin !!
My Pop used to say,you can't judge the content of a persons character until you've heard them cuss.As you say Doug,we don't have time to dwell on the personal antics of the politicos seeking our highest office.The task that is most paramount is getting these pricks and bitches to do the job they were elected to do and to hold their feet to the fire until they get it right..
Wouldn't it be eaiser to just use the generic "asshole" for all of them?
That one is reserved for smirk , the high and mighty sphincter/proberfuhrer.How does he get that big head up there dry when it's obvious he's exhausted all supplies of KY on us?I know,Laura kicks him between the shoulder blades,problem solved by the new decider.
the definition of bitch is a)female dog, b)a spiteful, ill tempered woman.
The female dog obviously isn't applicable but how the second definition applies to Hillary I can't personally say as I have never met the woman.
the definition of bastard is someone born out of wedlock.
I don't think this definition is applicable to John McCain.
Here is something I have espoused for many, MANY years. It goes like this:
All women are bitches and all men are assholes. It just depends on the time of the month and the size of the hole.
Now this is more applicable. It could apply to everyone running for president.
Doug, thank you for some perspective. Too bad the MSM won't report it that way.
Doug Thompson, your indictment of Hillary, including her potty-mouth is spot-on…!
She's as phony as a blue three dollar bill.
What stuns me is that so many people especially women are enamoured with her.
When I study the faces of those in the audience that are grinning and clapping for her, they remind of the same vapid crowd I see participating in mega-church televangelist activities. Good grief is all I can say! Elect "Billary to the presidency and they'll be getting a female version of Bushco in spades. She'll see to it that we are in Iraq until the 12th of never. When those that put in her in office discover she's on the same tack as Bushco, then question her, they'll get one of her infamous "fxxk-off"s too… Then what?!
Foolish voters indeed…!
Carl Nemo **==
Let the record note AGAIN…
…not this woman!
Carl, I agree with you, but I think that my observation of the faces in Hillary's audience would be best described as " enamored OF her " as it appears to me that she is enamored more than sufficiently " With Herself. " That applies equally to most of her male counterparts, also, I hasten to add. I believe that a very strong ego would, of necessity, have to be a prerequisite for anyone to put themselves onto such a world stage. But as evidenced by Bush, ego just ain't enough !
I am disappointed and disillusioned with almost all of the candidates from either Party. Ron Paul is one of two or three that makes any sense at all, unless you want more of the same Bush insanity. Most of the others seem to be straddling the fence. Wonder why, when we, the People clearly are begging for a complete about-face in just about all things. But no one seems to be listening to the people. Especially the Main Stream Media.
When Bill Clinton was asked if Bush was behind 9/11 his response was "How dare you!".
"How dare you" is not "No" or "I don't know". Just one more typical Clinton evasion.

A Swan Valley couple is being recognized by Missoula County for the work they've put into managing their property.
Missoula county commissioners announced David and Kathryn Owen are the recipients of the 2013 Land Stewardship Award. The award recognizes people who take caring for their land and water to the next level.
The Owen's spent the past 40 years carefully managing their forest land located on Buck Creek.
County officials said they use proactive measures, like working with their neighbors to prevent noxious weed invasions, and protecting native plant growth.
"I think the stewardship practices they've been doing has really had affects beyond their parcel of land, which I think is extremely important, and they practice a very thoughtful stewardship," said Kali Becher of the Missoula County Community and Planning Services.
The Owens get their award at a ceremony on Wednesday on their property.

Petr Mrazek, Red Wings Backup Goaltender, Sports Mask Featuring Peter Griffin in Superman Outfit (Photo)
Found February 08, 2013 on NESN.com:
PLAYERS: Petr Mrazek, Jimmy Howard
TEAMS: Detroit Red Wings
TEAMS: Detroit Red Wings
Petr Mrazek made his NHL debut for the Red Wings on Thursday, but the only thing cooler than the 20-year-old getting his first win has got to be his helmet. Mrazek's mask features an image of Peter Griffin from Family Guy sporting a Superman outfit. The unlikely combination even has a somewhat logical explanation behind it. The image is a mix between Mrazek's first name and the mascot for the Grand Rapids Griffins — the AHL team he has played 25 games for this season. And the Superman aspect of the caricature because just having Peter Griffin would have been silly. Tom McCollum, another backup goaltender for the Red Wings, wowed fans earlier this season with his hockey mask featuring Chris Farley, but Mrazek's artwork gives his a run for its money. While Jimmy Howard will continue to do the bulk of the work between the pipes for Detroit, here's hoping the Red Wings have another backup with more hilarious cartoons. Check out the mask below. Yes, that is Peter Griffin on Petr Mrazek...

Have Time Travellers Left Trails On The Internet?
As a Doctor Who fansite, we're always curious as to whether there are any real-world occurrences of time travel.
Previously, we've looked at clips featuring an old woman apparently using a mobile phone in a Charlie Chaplin movie (odd time to use a compact ear horn, we think you'll agree), photo of editor Christian Cawley seemingly photographed in the past and even the Eleventh Doctor seemingly hanging out with The Beatles.
While none of the above can be called conclusive, however, this short report about how researchers are looking for time traveller's Internet trails is particularly interesting.
2 Responses to Have Time Travellers Left Trails On The Internet?
I have it from a 'reliable source' that Phil Morris doesn't really travel Africa searching for film cans in dusty locales. He has a wormhole that leads to a skip in south Acton, 1975 where he pulls film cans out for us at 2 shillings a piece.
Seriously though, didn't Concorde once do an experiment where an atomic clock was placed on the ground and on the plane both perfectly in sync, and when the plane took off, flew around and returned, it was a few fractions of a second faster on the planes clock?
The problem I have with Time Travel is getting my head around 'What you push against' to move for want of a better word. A car will push against tarmac while a plane gets thrust and uses the air, so what do you 'push' against to propel yourself back or forwards through time?
I understand very little about it but the essence is that your own passage of time passing is relevant to the speed you are travelling at which is how the experiment you mention with atomic clocks on a plane and on the ground works. Where it gets really obvious is when you start travelling at speeds close to the speed of light, if you travelled away from earth at just under the speed of light for one year and then back again a very different amount of time would have passed on earth compared to the two years you'd experienced. Now my brain hurts and I'm going to lie down!

Another week over, one more to go before the election. Let's look back:
- the fate of the government's changes to the 457 visa program will not be known until next week when the bill will be voted on;
- Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced she would go to Indonesia next month to discuss people smuggling and asylum seekers
- Liberal Senator Sue Boyce crossed the floor to support gay rights although the bill (to recognise same sex marriages conducted overseas) was voted down;
- union boss Paul Howes made a fulsome statement of commitment to Ms Gillard; and
- everyone looked spiffing at last night's Midwinter Ball.
Thanks so much to everyone who read and contributed (and for bearing with our technical problems earlier in the day). Mega snaps to Andrew Meares and Alex Ellinghausen whose beautiful and candid images make this blog.
Have a good weekend people. It's bound to be a big week next week. See you on Monday morning.

The PM's trip to Indonesia has been one of the main stories of the day. Online political editor, Tim Lester, has prepared this video looking at the circumstances surrounding the visit.

There has been some interest in the speeches given by Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott at last night's Midwinter Ball.
I do have audio for the speeches but they are given on the understanding they remain off the record. I'm going to honour that agreement.
A few things to look at now question time is over:
- Liberal National Party candidate for the seat of Fisher, Mal Brough, is emailing people to explain his role in last week's "Menugate" affair;
- the Coalition looks likely to keep cuts to university funding;
- a high level inquiry has found claims of abuse at ADFA and HMAS Leeuwin are more widespread than was previously thought; and
- special legislation has been passed to allow leg spinner Fawad Ahmed to play for Australian in the Ashes series.
There's always an exemption for sport, eh?

Back in the 11.55 am post I mentioned a few names of people who voted against the Greens' attempt to recognise same sex marriages entered into overseas.
Labor Senator David Feeney was one (he who wants to move to the lower house in the Melbourne seat of Batman). He has taken to Twitter to explain his decision.
I believe in #MarriageEquality here in Australia, not making people fly overseas for it #auspol— Senator David Feeney (@SenatorFeeney) June 20, 2013
And that's it for question time for the day and the week. Only four more to go.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott and Deputy Opposition Leader Julie Bishop during question time on Thursday.

Oh dear.
I was really hoping Health Minister Tanya Plibersek would resist the government predilection for "cuts to the bone". But no, she said it. That phrase just should not be used by someone who is in charge of amputations.
That's better.

Question time in a nutshell.
Can we just take a moment to pay respect to Liberal MP Bronwyn Bishop?
In yesterday's question time Ms Bishop seemed to stem to tide of government utterings of "mendacious" by accusing the government of offering a "farrago of mendacities".
Today, she seeks to make a point of order on the basis that the government is offering "tedious and repetitious answers".
We're going to win by this much.

Independent MP Peter Slipper has the cross bench question of the day.
This forces him to read out Craig Emerson's entire title - Minister for Trade and Competitiveness, Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Asian Century Policy.
Mr Slipper notes that when he was speaker he allowed the time for someone's answer to begin after the question had ended. I think they call that foresight.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has taken a question from her own side to talk about the visit she will take to Indonesia next month (see story referred to at 12.13 pm post).
Ms Gillard is emphasising the importance of the relationship between Australia and Indonesia: "Of course Indonesia is a close friend, a neighbour and one of our most important bilateral trading partners."
A government minister has been in Indonesia at a rate of one every three weeks, Ms Gillard says.
(You can see why the government wants to talk about this. Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said earlier today that if Ms Gillard had such a good relationship with Indonesian she would have worked out a way to prevent boat arrivals. The government has been pursuing the opposition over its plans to ask the navy to tow illegal boat arrivals back to Indonesian waters.)
NB. The question came from Laurie Ferguson, the backbencher who criticised Ms Gillard earlier this month for not doing enough to ease western Sydney voters' concerns about boat arrivals.

Question time will be slightly delayed while there is a condolence motion for former Fraser government minister Michael Hodgman, who died yesterday.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard described Mr Hodgman - the so-called mouth from the south - as a "a gentleman larrikan with a story on his lips and a twinkle in his eye".
Ms Gillard says when Mr Hodgman was defending "Chopper" Reid in court he gave him a Liberal Party tie to wear.
"And yes, it might have been a blue one," Ms Gillard says.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says Mr Hodgman's words live on through his son, Will, the leader of the Tasmanian (Liberal) opposition.
Mr Abbott praises Mr Hodgman's record public service but notes he "drew the line at serving in the Senate".
Mr Abbott also mentions Mr Hodgman's association with "Chopper" Reid: "Who said the Liberal Party is not a broad church?"
The office of Immigration Minister Brendan O'Connor has confirmed the proposed changes to the 457 visa scheme will not be voted on until next week.
Beanies for all! Although Greens leader Christine Milne prefers to style hers a la beret.

While it's lunchtime and there seems to be - momentarily - a lull in proceedings let me show you some more pictures from last night's Midwinter Ball. Everyone scrubbed up beautifully.
Here's Bob Katter from Katter's Australia Party arriving for last night's Midwinter Ball.
Just kidding.
Well, it is Bob Katter but he's attending a protest by landowners calling for more federal action to protect them from mining giants that's taking place outside Parliament House right now. (Greens leader Christine Milne has tweeted in to say the beanies were made by a group called Knitting Nannas.)

Paul Howes, head of the Australian Workers Union, and a key mover behind the installation of Julia Gillard to the prime ministership in June 2010, says he and his union remain supportive of Ms Gillard.
"This government is second to none in terms of delivering for working people," Mr Howes is telling Sky News' David Speers. The union movement's "best chance is to unite behind the Labor Party under the prime ministership of Julia Gillard".
Mr Howes says "there's always going to be discussion about internal, inside the beltway activities" but it's like living in "Opposite Land" when it comes to leadership speculation - he says something one day and it's reported in a completely different way the next day.
Opposite Land is a place where "hamburgers eat people and we wear hats on our shoes", Mr Howes says in exasperation.
"I think Labor will win the election under Julia Gillard," Mr Howes says. (He has just rubbished opinion polls so he can say this).
It's been one of those mornings.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is now speaking in the House of Representatives about the government's changes to 457 visa.
"True love for this country is expressed by trying to unite us, not by trying to divide us," Mr Abbott says. "True patriotism means putting the nation first....This bill is false patriotism from a failing government."
"We appreciate our debt to the migrants of this country, we appreciate everyone who has come to this country the right way," Mr Abbott continues. "Never, never, never will you find any attempt from this country to say there are first class and second class Australians."
Reporter Daniel Hurst has this update on where the bill is up to. Its passing is by no means assured at this point.
Earlier today The Age's political editor, Michael Gordon, had the story that Prime Minister Julia Gillard will travel to Indonesia to discuss the issue of boat arrivals. You may remember Ms Gillard declined to tell the opposition she was going when asked about it in question time yesterday.

It's a rare thing to see an MP cross the floor of Parliament.
This sequence of photographs by Andrew Meares captures Liberal Sue Boyce's journey from the opposition benches to vote with the Greens (and other senators) in support of a proposal to recognise same sex marriage.
Labor Senators David Feeney, Stephen Conroy and Ursula Stephens were among those who voted against the bill.

The Senate has voted against Senator Hanson-Young's bill that sought to give recognition to same sex marriages conducted overseas.
The vote was 28 in favour, 45 against.
One of the fantastic things about my job is the awesome people I have the privilege of working with.
For example - the great Tony Wright, aka national affairs editor for The Age, has been checking the blog from his sick bed and called in to tell me about the provenance of the word "bellwether".
A bellwether is a neutered ram. Said ram would always stay with the flock so a bell was tied around its neck to alert the shepherd to its location.
Sitting member Mike Kelly defends his hold on the seat via twitter:

Meanwhile, if it's a sitting week then Queanbeyan beware! Politicians may descend on you and they may be wearing blue ties.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is on his fifth visit there this year in aid of Liberal Party candidate Peter Hendy. He hopes to replace the incumbent, Defence Materiel Minister Mike Kelly, in the closely watched seat which is referred to as a bellwether seat because it tends to go with the party that takes government.

Just to clarify the situation regarding Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young's proposal to recognise same sex marriages that were conducted overseas - should the bill go to a vote Labor MPs will be allowed a conscience vote while Coalition MPs would not.
This is why Senator Sue Boyce's decision to cross the floor is significant - not so much because she is in defiance of the party line but because it is an extra vote for those supporting the bill.
The bill is unlikely to garner enough support to pass but every vote counts.
Veteran Labor Party Senator John Faulkner has just spoken on the bill: "We can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.....I support the bill."
Just an editor's note to all readers and contributors: "A technical problem means all comments are appearing twice. We are aware of the problem and are working to rectify it."
Liberal Party Senator Sue Boyce is now speaking.
"Surely, surely in 2013 we're passed the sort of homophobic, scared of difference, scared of diversity view that would attempt to put the marriage of men and women in the constitution," Senator Boyce says (she is referring to Senator Madigan's proposal in the 10.27 am post).
Senator Boyce says her "only hope" is that the "appalling track record" for altering the constitution through referenda would mean such a proposal would fail.
"It would go down because in 2013 it's a disgraceful and immature idea."
Liberal Senator Sue Boyce addresses the Senate on Thursday. Photo: Andrew Meares
Senator Penny Wong and partner Sophie Allouache arrive for the Midwinter Ball on Wednesday. Photo: Alex Ellinghausen
Finance Minister Penny Wong is now speaking. She supports the bill.
"If you subscribe to the principle of equality....then simply substitute the words 'inter racial' or 'different age' for same sex marriage and see if that changes your view," Senator Wong says.
"Can you image if we told someone they could not marry the person they love because they were of a different religion?"
Senator Wong says marriage is "unique" and "special" and "that is why those of us in same sex marriages also want to be able to demonstrate our relationships".
"It is a discrimination that will one day come to an end," Senator Wong says.
Since Parliament voted on same sex marriage last year Senator Wong says the debate has "become more hurtful and divisive".
She says comments by Liberal Party Senator Cory Bernardi linking gay marriage to polygamy and bestiality "are nothing other than bigotry and we should not shy away from calling it for what it is".
Democratic Labor Party Senator John Madigan - who is against gay marriage - say the issues dealt with in the Greens' bill are bigger than the Parliament.
Senator Madigan wants a referendum.
"The issue here is marriage itself because we cannot agree to this bill without changing our understanding of marriage itself," Senator Madigan says.
"The definition of marriage is not something that can be left to Parliament.....I believe this is an issue every Australian should have a vote on....We can't legislate the conscience of the nation."
DLP Senator John Madigan addresses the Senate on Thursday. Photo: Andrew Meares
Liberal Party Senator George Brandis is now speaking on the bill.
Senator Brandis says there is something "chillingly unpleasant about hearing [Greens] Senator Hanson-Young giving one of her emotional speeches and claim, as she does, that her point of view is the only morally legitimate point of view".
"How dare you," Senator Brandis says. "How dare you be so puffed up with moral vanity? Because, Senator Hanson-Young, there are millions and millions of Australians who vigorously dissent from your view, who have a commitment to the definition of marriage that has always been understood."

Labor Senator Louise Pratt is speaking about the gay marriage bill (which seeks to recognise same sex marriages conducted overseas under Australian law).
"I fear it won't be successful because marriage equality in this Parliament will only succeed when all parties work to see it done. We are a long way behind community expectations on this."
I interrupt this news bulletin with a fast-breaking news story.
Liberal Senator Sue Boyce may cross the floor twice in defiance of leader Tony Abbott - both in defence of gay rights.
Senator Boyce (who will retire at the end of her term) will vote in favour of the Greens proposal to recognise same-sex marriages performed overseas and another - from the government - seeking to remove provisions that allow aged care homes to refuse residency to same-sex couples.
The same-sex marriage bill is due to be voted on later today.
Breaking news reporter Jonathan Swan has the story.
Online political editor Tim Lester has recorded an interview with Senator Boyce, which I'll have for you shortly.

I bet people would be happier if they worked on improving themselves, instead of always worrying about what others are doing.

The last time the Los Angeles Kings played at the Air Canada Centre was December 6, 2005. By comparison, since that time the Sabres have played seventeen regular season games in Toronto.
Only two Kings and three Leafs remain from that game, a 2-1 Kings win - Brown, Frolov, Kaberle, Ponikarovsky and Stajan. Both franchises have undergone significant changes but neither has made the playoffs since the lockout. LA has failed to qualify for the post-season in six consecutive years and Toronto is well on their fifth straight early April tee-time.
Post-lockout the Leafs have a total of 389 points, 21 ahead of the Kings. But although these organizations are similar in that they have been two of the least successful in recent years, they couldn't be more different when it comes to draft philosophy. Over that time, the Kings have drafted twice as many players in the first three rounds of the draft than Toronto.
In fact if you go back to 2003 which was the draft that helped shape the direction of many current franchises and move ahead through 2011, the Kings have selected eleven players in the first round and still hold their 2010 and 2011 selections while the Leafs have drafted four and traded their next two first rounders:
2005 - No. 21 Tuukka Rask2006 - No. 13 Jiri Tlusty2008 - No. 5 Luke Schenn2009 - No. 7 Nazem Kadri
vs. Los Angeles:
2003 - No. 13 Dustin Brown2003 - No. 26 Brian Boyle2003 - No. 27 Jeff Tambellini2004 - No. 11 Lauri Tukonen2005 - No. 11 Anze Kopitar2006 - No. 11 Jonathan Bernier2006 - No. 17 Trevor Lewis2007 - No. 4 Thomas Hickey2008 - No. 2 Drew Doughty2008 - No. 13 Colten Teubert2009 - No. 5 Brayden Schenn2010 - No. 1 To Come/Trade2011 - No. 1 To Come/Trade
This overwhelming discrepancy carries over into the second and third rounds too.
The Leafs have selected: John Doherty, Martin Sagat, Justin Pogge, Phil Oreskovic, Nikolai Kulemin, Dale Mitchell, Jimmy Hayes, Kenny Ryan, Jesse Blacker and Jamie Devane,
Los Angeles has drafted twenty prospects in the round two and three: Konstantin Pushkarev, Ryan Munce, Paul Baier, Dany Roussin, T.J. Fast, Jonathan Quick, Joey Ryan, Jeff Zatkoff, Bud Holloway, Oscar Moller, Wayne Simmonds, Bryan Cameron, Vyacheslav Voynov, Robert Czarnik, Andrew Campbell, Geordie Wudrick, Kyle Clifford and Nicolas Deslauriers.
And that gap is going to spread even further with LA holding two second-round picks and three third-round picks in 2010 and one each in 2011, while the Leafs have but one third-rounder in 2010 and one second-rounder in 2011.
Draft Picks (Selected and Scheduled), 2003 to 2011
History has shown that it's often difficult to rebuild properly without an accumulation of draft picks but the Leafs chose to trade a total of ten draft picks for Phil Kessel, Luke Schenn, Vesa Toskala and Mark Bell. To acquire those four players they dealt:
4 x 1st Rounders (2007, 2008, 2010, 2011)3 x 2nd Rounders (2007, 2009, 2011)2 x 3rd Rounders (2008, 2011)1 x 4th Rounder (2007)
Not all teams are built with high draft picks though, as there are as many opinions amongst GMs on the right way to build an organization, as there are teams. For example, Detroit has thrived largely due to stellar late round drafting. And of course there are teams that have drafted or developed their prospects poorly and haven't been able to progress despite a multitude of picks.
Here's a look at where teams have drafted from 2003 to 2009 – I assigned the following point system to compare both quality and quantity of draft slot (not the actual player selection):
No. 1 to No. 5 overall – 9 ptsNo. 6 to No. 9 overall – 7 ptsNo. 11 to No. 20 overall – 5 ptsNo. 21 to No. 30 overall – 3 ptsNo. 31 to No. 60 overall – 1 pt
For the most part the teams that appear at the bottom are teams that have been on top of the league, so they end up drafting low and trading picks to acquire help for the playoffs.
Time will tell whether the Kings' rebuild will eventually payoff but you have to think that the future looks bright with a good young team and high level prospects like Bernier, Hickey and Schenn on the horizon. They're currently sitting in a playoff spot, their AHL team is third overall, they placed four players on Canada's World Junior squad and they currently hold six top 90 picks in the 2010 draft. Dean Lombardi has been patient and the franchise is poised for success moving forward.
At the other end of the spectrum lies the Leafs. They're in 28th overall, their AHL affiliate is 27th overall and they aren't set to draft until the third round this summer. They have a few nice building blocks but the climb to become a contender will be a difficult one without recent draftees and future picks to fill the pipeline and to deal. July 1st will continue to be the most important day of the calendar year for the Leafs, a day where impact players rarely hit the market, competition for talent is fierce and prices are typically sky high.
It's a tough challenge but Brian Burke knows what he's up against so it will be fascinating to see his plan unfold and to see what the Leafs and Kings will look like the next time they meet in Toronto two seasons from now.

About me is here!
Ask box here!
My brother's only 2 years younger than me, right? So when he was learning to talk I was still pretty little
And apparently he had a penchant for making up words? And my parents thought they were funny, and so they sort of wormed their way into our family's everyday vocabulary
And now 13 years later I'm finally fucking finding out that words like "timbering" and "swiver" aren't actually in the dictionary
my life is a goddamn lie
but if they have meaning… are they not words?
What do they mean?

Christ: The True Source of Women's Liberation
- Friday, March 14, 2008
Jesus demonstrated that all "power and authority" belong to Him. Nothing could be clearer: any philosophy or form of deceptive thinking which places self at the center instead of adopting the servant's posture modeled by Christ -- the One who humbled Himself and washed the feet of His disciples, disciples who called Him "Master" -- is diametrically opposed to the wisdom of God and doomed to fail.
Betty Friedan's biographer asserts that prior to Friedan and the women's movement, "women celebrated in American history books were footnotes." While there is truth in that observation, the problem, of course, is in the writing of the history books, not in the accomplishments of women.
As surprising as it may seem to some, radical feminists did not invent the idea of the powerful women. God did!
Long before Betty Friedan or Gloria Steinem brought their definitions to bear on who we are as women, God raised up women who exemplified His definition of a woman's true strength and power. Women don't have to rant and roar; through Him, we are all overcomers. God gave women the power to soar!
And, long before there was any kind of feminism, Jesus established real women's liberation. Paul wrote to the Galations emphasizing that through faith we all now share in God's glorious new covenant that provides freedom for those who believe: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

On The Keeping of One's Ape
A passage on the proper care of your own great ape, rich in scientific Victorianisms, from Richard Lynch Gardner's Gorillas and Chimpanzees (1898):
From my own observation I assert that all of these apes can undergo a greater range of temperature than they can of humidity. This appears to be one of the essential things to the life of a gorilla, and one fatal mistake made in treating him is furnishing him with a dry, warm atmosphere, and depriving him of the poison contained in the malarious air in which he spends his entire life. Both of these apes need humidity. The chimpanzee will live longer than a gorilla in a dry air, but neither of them can long survive it, and it would appear that a salt atmosphere is best for the gorilla. I believe that one of these apes could be kept in good condition for any length of time if he were supplied with a normal humidity in an atmosphere laden with miasma and allowed to vary in temperature.
...The rule that visitors or strangers should not annoy or tease them should be enforced without respect to person, time, or rank. No visitor should be allowed on any terms to give them any kind of food. The reasons for these precautions are obvious to any one familiar with the keeping of animals, but in the case of a gorilla their observance cannot be waived with impunity.
I'd like to think that Gardner's realization about the teasing of gorillas only came to him after a failed attempt at, perhaps, a zoo where annoyance privileges were handed out based entirely on time and rank.

This is good. Lets get the newest ideas into the mainstream as soon as possible.
Went to the USA MSI site and they haven't loaded any further info on these two mainboards yet. But the global site has the information. HERE IT IS
I wonder if this PCI-E bus has more bandwidth (to go with the speed improvements) than the 2.0 spec boards do?
Faster is good, 200% faster is remarkable. I would like to see some benchmarks that compare and confirm these speeds. Imagine all the time saved if program loading was just reduced by half; might not seem like much but it all adds up and I could be using that time to learn a new language....or grab a stout and play some games.
Any increase in data throughput is always welcome in my book.
Would be great....if GPUs bottlenecked the 2nd gen bandwidth.
this makes me soo excited for future pci-based SSD's
gorgeous mobo, i love my MSI, still confused though on the placement for the CMOS battery- better than below the slot i guess (on the GD65)
MSI FTW! Love you guys :).
Keep up the good work and push more advancements out! :D
Thats gonna be a big step up in potential for speed for PCIE Hard Drives and SSD's!
Finally. The first PCI-E 3.0 motherboard is finally making it out into the public.
I'll have to look at performance numbers but let me just say that I am excited that PCI-E 3.0 is finally going to be out to the public, and I'm sure that the PCI-E 3.0 video cards MSI is releasing will take full advantage of PCI-E 3.0.
Less power, more performance, let us all thank MSI for being the first with PCI-E 3.0.
I don't understand - PCI-e 3 is only supposed to be double the throughput, not 200% faster. Either they meant "100% faster" or "200% as fast". Distressing how a tech company can make an announcement with such flawed content.
Yes, distressing stuff,.....we're all losing sleep over this now. Whatever will we do?
What advertisement are you referring to? We only advertise product when paid.
Are you two having fun picking the fly crap out of the pepper?
They are not also stating Flawed content but false advertisement as they are not the first to announce the first PCI-E 3.0 motherboard, It was actually Asrock one week ago with their Fatal1ty release
This must mean that PCI-E 3 cards are coming soon. WOOHOO
That is awesome! I was wondering how much longer it would take them as it has been finalized for a little while now. Of course so has SATA ports on a PCI-X 2 Board and USB3 as well, but the amount of the ports on a board for USB3 and SATA3 as well have been pretty limited generally.
Oh and I just got a Beta I have been waiting on since November 2008. I am downloading it now of course this download is huge I cannot say what game as I now have an NSA being FORCEd on me of course.
Anyway; I am as I said glad to see these finally hitting. I wonder when they will start being released in mass by all the other manufacturers. Hopefully this means that will be by late summer/early fall school season releases in August/September.
Guess it's a good thing that I have been waiting to upgrade my system... Probably won't upgrade until X-mas now. Get a Z-68 board with the PCI-E. Get a PCI-E SSD Card. And a new Video Card. And I'll be a happy camper.
