TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — All 63 intersections in New Jersey where red-light cameras came under scrutiny last month for alleged timing problems have been cleared, the state's transportation department said Wednesday.
The ruling means towns can resume handing out summonses to motorists, including those who committed violations during the re-testing period. The pilot program had been suspended in 21 towns on June 19 after New Jersey's Department of Transportation said yellow lights at those intersections may have been calibrated in a way that didn't allow drivers enough time to brake safely.
The DOT announced that all the towns had submitted re-certification documentation that the lights were timed in accordance with the state legislation that established the program in 2008.
"Each affected municipality has conducted the requested traffic analysis and provided their re-certifications to NJDOT via a professionally licensed municipal engineer," the DOT said in a statement. "In each case, the results have confirmed that the duration of a yellow light at the authorized intersection meets the minimum duration as required by the legislation."
The DOT said it has informed towns affected by the suspension that they can resume issuing summonses, including for violations committed since the program was suspended.
The red-light cameras have been responsible for the towns' issuing millions of dollars in tickets, from smaller towns such as Monroe Township in southern New Jersey that have cameras at one intersection to Newark, the state's largest city that has cameras at 19 intersections.
Local officials have said the cameras have been effective at reducing accidents; Newark's traffic director said last month that accidents had fallen 74 percent at a busy downtown intersection where the first red-light camera in the state was installed in 2009.

ARLINGTON, TX - SEPTEMBER 01: Manager Ron Washington checks on C.J. Wilson #36 of the Texas Rangers after his hand was hit by a baseball during play against the Tampa Bay Rays at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on September 1, 2011 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
OK, we know this season is far from over but the Texas Rangers already know who they will face on Opening Day of the 2012 season.
The Rangers will open the regular season against the Chicago White Soxs on Friday, April 6.
In fact, if you are the planning type, you can already check out the entire schedule which was announced by Major League Baseball Tuesday morning.
This is the fifth time in the last seven years the Rangers have opened the year at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington and is the first of a seven-game homestand at the ballpark.
Interleague play will include games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies and the Houston Astros.

All inhabitants are well adapted to the harsh climatic conditions and regular droughts. The advantage of the latter being the fact that livestock are less prone to diseases and parasites associated with a mild climate and increased rainfall.

For a leaner (and different style) meatball I thought these were great! Instead of their suggestion of using light and dark meat turkey, I used 1 lb of all white meat lean turkey and 1/2 lb of lean ground pork (it only added 7 calories per meatball if you're making the 30 as stated and probably added more flavor). I didn't separate out the egg yolk (this recipe was made in the '90s...), used a little bit more carrot and zucchini by accident (measuring while shredding is difficult), and a minced my garlic. I find that using a mini muffin pan is great for meatballs - no roll aways!!
Turkey-Veggie Meatballs
Have your veggies in your meatballs. For moister, more flavorful meatballs, use ground turkey that contains light and dark meat rather than just breast meat.

The continual grousing over fuel prices has earned the HUMMER brand a place on consumers' fecal roster. There's nothing wrong with what HUMMER has on offer, other than the fact that large, off-road capable trucks make terrible commuter cars, and the idiots misusing their H2s for tasks better suited to Cobalts are finally wising up. This re-thinking of emetic consumption has sent HUMMER sales down the sewer, and with no end in sight, GM is seriously considering selling the brand to stanch the cash bleed.
China is a huge emerging market for General Motors – Buick is big there, for example. As such, GM's Fritz Henderson has indicated its willingness to hold discussions with any Chinese company interested in buying the division. It's not like HUMMER is a brand with lots of history, anyway. Only the H1 had any legitimate claim to military lineage, and that vehicle hasn't been available for a while. The survival of the brand in the U.S. market may hinge on competing more directly with the Jeep Wrangler, regardless of ownership. The same way as Jaguar and Land Rover are a handy entre into serious carmaking for Tata, HUMMER could be a way for Chinese automakers to crack the U.S. market.

Every year I dread and look forward to the Las Vegas Jewelry Show. I dread it because, even though Vegas is a fabulous place, it's just not my cup of tea. I don't gamble or drink much but do enjoy the shows. I did put $3 in a slot machine and won $ 0.04.

Sorry that I haven't been in better touch but it has been a hectic few months.

I was leaving the next morning for vacation but because of the storm, was stuck at home for two days. Finally, after a quick holiday, I headed to Vicenza for the Jewelry Fair, to see what new direction and colors were highlighted. From there,... Continue Reading

Jennifer Coffey recently reached out to me about writing a blog on diamonds. She asked me some great questions and I started thinking about my past and why diamonds were important to me.

This weekend I was in Louisiana helping my Mother clean out closets and storage in her home. She moved into an apartment in a retirement community and wanted to start getting rid of as much clutter as possible. There was one box with my name on it containing things such as my comic book collection from the early 60's, miscellaneous rocks (I guess from my early interest in gems), newspaper clippings from various events, and a peace pipe (no clue where it came from). In the bottom of the box I found a real treasure; the ring mandrel that belonged to my Great G... Continue Reading
There's Sapphires in them there Hills!
Fifteen years ago I started working on a new program for QVC featuring Sapphires mined in Montana. I loved the idea and was so excited about actually working with a precious gemstone mined in the USA. The mine owner had come to QVC and made a presentation of the most beautiful blue and golden sapphires. I flew to Montana with a QVC film crew and a host (Lisa Mason) and spent a glorious three days in Montana enjoying the great beauty of the state and discovering the area where Sapphires were mined.

LOL as a mage i even laughed - however the real reasons more proasic. Its cos some noob has invariably dotted the dam mob (bleeds deep wounds corruption etc etc) - and as the glyph of polymorph is used about as much as a chocolate teapot, its a waste of mana,time, effort and dps to repoly it. Personally i prefer the robustness of lock cc to mage cc - having something that heals the mob - and is so fragile a misplaced blade of grass will break it - it not very useful in anything but solo/very small groups. (Yes i play lock AND mage). Although lock cc is a lot more situational, when i can be used imo its superior.

Teacher quality

Parent involvement
I love teaching at Huntington Place!! The students and parents are great.
It has been a joy for my daughter to attend Huntington, she has enjoyed it very much. All the teachers and staff are very nice.
There is a family atmosphere at HPES that has existed since the school was built. It remains to be seen what the result of making it a grades 3-5 school will be, but there is no reason to expect things to change. We've loved the teachers and made wonderful friends through the PTA.
I am a 5th grade student here at huntington. I have been here since 2nd grade and all of the faculty and staff teachers principals and every one else has been the best! I would say this school has the best quality out of al the other schools!
My daughter has gone to HPE since Kindergarten and I believe that it's the best school around. The faculty and supporting staff are excellent!
This is the best place I could hope my children could go to school.The staff and the Faculty are the best there is.

Pause for Thought
From Rev Ruth Scott, an Anglican vicar in Richmond.
Yesterday, G8 foreign ministers meeting in London urged North Korea to refrain from any more 'provocative acts'. Over the last few weeks there's been increasing concern about what is seen as 'aggressive rhetoric' coming from the leadership in Pyongyang, and the escalating tension this provokes.
Whenever challenging circumstances arise, whether that's internationally or in our own lives, it's easy to get sucked into the emotional energy of the situation.
24 hour news and modern communication technology aren't always helpful. One downside of the internet and some social media is that people can respond immediately to whatever they experience or see others experiencing. Some give blow by blow updates of their personal tragedies even as they unfold. You can say what you like because who'll go to the trouble of checking out your version of events. Without taking time for careful reflection a whirlwind of destructive words is stirred up. Like a tornado ripping up the countryside, it can wreak havoc on the landscape of our collective humanity. There's a gospel story about a seriously sick man whose sisters, Martha and Mary, send frantic messages to Jesus urging him to hurry to their brother's bedside. Contrary to expectation Jesus doesn't get caught up in the crisis and immediately leap into action. He stands back and takes stock. Holding steady when everyone else is running around like headless chickens demands a great deal of self-control. It's particularly essential when individuals or communities are on course for conflict. In times of tension it's worth asking ourselves whether what we intend to say or do will ease the situation or add to the stress. After all, Zoe, when you're standing on the edge of a precipice, a step back is a sign of wisdom not weakness.

Ghemical is a computational chemistry software package,
Ghemical relies on external code to provide the quantum-mechanical calculations.
Semi-empirical methods MNDO, MINDO/3, AM1 and PM3 come from the MOPAC7 package,
and are included in the source distribution. The
MPQC package (GNU GPL) is used to provide ab initio methods.

The FreeBSD x11@ and graphics team proudly presents
a zeising, kwm production, with help from dumbbell, bdrewery:
This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.
This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well
Update the default version of GCC used in the Ports Collection from
GCC 4.6.4 to GCC 4.7.3. This entails updating the lang/gcc port as
well as changing the default in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk.

Switch from libglut to freeglut and retire libglut. Libglut hasn't been
developed in years and has been dropped from the MESA 8.0 distribution.
Freeglut is a rewrite of glut and is actively developed and is used by
many linux distributions instead of libglut.
Bump all ports that directly depend on libglut because of the shlib version
There are some extra items in this patch.
*) Because freeglut doesn't have the same dependancies as libglut, some ports
need extra dependencies added to USE_XORG to make them build.
*) Mark graphics/f90gl broken, f90gl depends on a header that is only shipped
with libglut.
*) Remove option for libglut/freeglut selection in games/cake, only freeglut
remains now.
*) While here fix a png related build issue games/vegastrike.

After losing interest in Stephen King after the Dark Half (1989) I've been going back and reading some I missed. This is a good one. I loved the characters. They are brave, smart, strong and (drum roll) senior citizens! The story is interesting though not exactly scary. However, the dissonent, jangly music that comes on sometimes during the audio book almost made me jump out of my skin.

Sorry Apple bulls.
Those hoping for a snap-back rally in shares of the beaten down iPhone maker can take only limited comfort from the stock's historical reaction to past beatings.
Thursday's slide was the worst point drop ever for Apple, and the 10th worst percentage decline in the past two decades.
Apple's certainly been down before and rebounded, but it won't be an overnight thing.
The stock's worst one-day percentage decline, 51% on Sept. 29, 2000 was followed up by a 5.8% slide the next day, according to data compiled from Factset. The second worst one-day percentage decline of 23% on July 16, 1993, continued the next day, with the stock off another 6.8%.
Apple's worst percentage slide of the iPhone era, Sept. 29, 2008, did see a rebound of 7.8% the following day. But that was in the midst of the failure of Congress to pass the first TARP legislation at the height of the credit crisis, so external events were clearly driving markets at the time.
Apple's fourth and fifth worst percentage declines, nearly 18% on Jan. 6, 1997 and just over 17% on July18, 2001, also saw follow up declines the next day.
Viewed through the largest point drops prism, Apple's done modestly better. Prior to Thursday, Apple's worst one-day point drop was on Dec. 5, when it lost $37.05. The stock managed a 1.6% rebound the next day. A $25.95 slide July 25, saw a less than 0.1% slide the next day. And the April 16 slide of $25.1o was followed up the next day by a 5% gain the next day.
For the Apple Pollyannas, here's a look at Apple's 10 best rebounds from significant percentage drops over the past 20 years based on data compiled from Factset.

And here I ran up against the first great fallacy of the mainstream media's OWS coverage. Of course the occupation as such was heavy on students, the unemployed, and men who looked like a cross between Santa Claus and Wavy Gravy. Stroller-pushing contingent-workers like me were constrained from spending all day and night at Zuccotti by the very conditions that made them want to do so. Thus does insecurity—financial, physical, psychological—become the stick that keeps us on the rutted path of late capitalism. (Consumer electronics being the carrot.)

by Matt Collar synopsis
Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is looking forward to trading in her stakes for a corsage as she and her friends prepare for their senior prom. Angel (David Boreanaz) is less enthused about the big dance, especially since Joyce (Kristine Sutherland) wants him to end his relationship with Buffy. Meanwhile, a Hell Hound mauls a shopper at the dress shop where Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) is working. Reviewing the store video camera recording, Buffy clues in on the Hell Hound's possible owner. Despite her friends' insistance, Buffy won't let anyone else miss the prom to help her track down the Hell Hound. This is the first episode where Anya (Emma Caulfield) and Xander (Nicholas Brendon) actually date.

With the holidays coming up, your family may grow tired of turkey very quickly! Why not serve them this five-ingredient White Smart Chicken Chili that has a minimum of ingredients, tastes absolutely delish, and gets you out of the kitchen in a matter of minutes.
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 cups cooked shredded boneless, skinless Smart Chicken breasts or thighs
2 (15-oz) cans Great Northern beans, drained
2 cups salsa verde (store-bought or homemade)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: Diced avocado, chopped fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, crumbled tortilla chips, or Ro-tel
In a large saucepan add chicken broth, shredded Smart Chicken, beans, salsa verde and cumin. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for at least 5 minutes. Serve warm with desired toppings. Serves 4 -6.
Homemade Salsa Verde
Tomatillos are also called "tomate verde" in Mexico (which means green tomato) and are considered a staple in Mexican cooking. Tomatillos are a member of the nightshade family, and are related to tomatoes. This fruit grows everywhere in the Western Hemisphere and is common in Texas gardens. When purchasing tomatillos, choose small to medium ones. They are sweeter than the larger, golf-ball-size ones.
6 medium tomatillos, husks removed, washed, and stems removed
½ white onion, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves
½ cup loosely-packed cilantro leaves
Juice of one lime
1 small jalapeno, seeded and roughly chopped
Pinch of sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your broiler. Remove papery husks and stems from the tomatillos and cut them in half. Line a baking pan with foil and place tomatillo halves cut side down in the pan. Broil tomatillos 6-8 minutes, until flesh is charred and they're very easily pierced with a fork.
Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno and sugar into a blender and puree about 10-20 seconds (until well-mixed). Taste; add salt and pepper if desired and blend once more. Use in recipe above. Makes 1½-2 cups.

The debate about Graham Hancock's talk
Please use this space to comment on the debate around Graham Hancock's TEDx talk, as described here:
Closing Statement from TED
Thanks to all who participated in this conversation on TED's decision to move Graham Hancock's talk from YouTube to TED.com. It was scheduled as a 2-week conversation, and has now closed. But the archive will remain visible here.
We'd like to respond here to some of the questions raised in the course of the discussion.
Some asked whether this was "censorship." Now, it's pretty clear that it isn't censorship, since the talk itself is literally a click away on this very site, and easily findable on Google. But it raises an interesting question about curation. Should TED play *any* curatorial role in the content it allows its TEDx organizers to promote? We believe we should. And once you accept a role for curatorial limits, you have to accept there will be times when disputes arise.
A number of questions were raised about TED's science board: How it works and why the member list isn't public. Our science board has 5 members -- all working scientists or distinguished science journalists. When we encounter a scientific talk that raises questions, they advise us on their position. I and my team here at TED make the final decisions. We keep the names of the science board private. This is a common practice for science review boards in the academic world, which preserves the objectivity of the recommendations and also protects the participants from retribution or harassment.
Finally, let me say that TED is 100% committed to open enquiry, including challenges to orthodox thinking. But we're also firm believers in appropriate skepticism, or critical thinking. Those two instincts will sometimes conflict, as they did in this case. That's why we invited this debate. The process hasn't been perfect. But it has been undertaken in passionate pursuit of these core values.
The talk, and this conversation, will remain here, and all are invited to make their own reasoned judgement.
Thanks for listening.
Chris Anderson, TED Curator
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 20 2013: My own diagnosis here is that TED ended up in an awkward (unwinnable?) position because Hancock's talk is part passionate anecdote, part testable scientific hypothesis, and part supernatural, but all related to a schedule 1 controlled substance.
Had the speaker been an academic discussing environmental degradation as a symptom of our non-creativity, the loss of dreamers in our society, and research on the psychological benefits of serotonin receptor agonists such as DMT, I think the talk would have faced little resistance from TED. But TED specifically disallows anecdotes about alternative medicine 'cures.' And supernatural contact through illicit substance use is just not a topic in TED's purview.
TED is a curator, and whether we agree with TED's actions or not, hopefully we can accept that this talk was particularly difficult for them to field.
Steve Stark 50+Mar 20 2013: If that is indeed their problem them let them say that and then we can discuss it with an appropriate level of sympathy for the situation in which they find themselves. Up until now such a point has not even appeared on the radar in any meaningful form, or if it did it was drowned under the torrent of hogwash they have chosen to build their two official cases around.
As regards the unwinnable nature of the situation, I happen to think the situation is actually rather simple to resolve. Reinstate the video(s); apologize to the speaker(s); write a brief non-offensive, non-false disclaimer to accompany the talk(s) (and all TEDx talks); develop a proper internal process of monitoring TEDx based on whatever the brand wants to be; and do it now rather than continuing with the pole-squatting, shilly-shallying and beating around the (burning) bush.

Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), speaking on the topic of duplicative government programs, explains how the government and rubbery treats are not the same:
"Double your pleasure, double your fun' might work for chewing gum – but not for government programs paid for by American taxpayers," he said.

Don't Sweat It: Sweat Solutions and Dryness Tips That Work
Need Serious Help?
In doctor-speak, excessive sweating is known as hyperhidrosis and is defined as sweating six times more than the average person. If your perspiration interferes with your life (say, you wear panty liners under your arms to soak up sweat), your MD will likely diagnose you with the condition.
After first trying a prescription-strength antiperspirant, the next level of treatment is Botox injections. While not pain-free, experts say most patients report that the result -- no sweat stains for about seven months or more -- is worth it.
If you suffer from excessive hand or foot sweat, your dermatologist may suggest iontophoresis, a treatment in which you put your hands or feet in a device filled with water while mild electrical currents are sent through your skin's surface to block the flow of sweat. Doctors describe the currents as startling but not painful. If done consistently once or twice a week (you can do the procedure at home), the less-sweat effect can last indefinitely.

Regarding suggestions to reduce sweat, I might be mistaken, but I aluminum chloride was dangerous to your health. I would rather sweat than use something that might cause breast cancer.7/6/2010 08:22:27 PM Report Abuse
You might want to take a look at Breeze Comfort sports bras. The bras are made with patented bra pad technology. The bra pads have perforations throughout to facilitate air circulation to the breast area. This helps release heat and helps prevent sponge effect (sweat collecting in the traditional bra pads). Letting toxins out of your body more efficiently through breathable clothing is very important to general breast health.3/15/2010 03:31:43 AM Report Abuse

Well at my age of 21 I´m far more concerned about getting acne, that prostate cancer... statistically speaking of course..
The idea is not to stop masturbating completly, just to reduce the frequency to 1-3 times a week.

Saying "Masturbation doesn't cause acne" like some sort of know it all. It's the same as anything else. For some it has an affect, for others it doesn't. Putting your foot down and saying "I don't even know you but you're wrong, I'm right" is stupid. If someone says it causes Acne for them, then believe it. I can vouch for this. I masturbated a lot last week and my skin looks like shit this week. I didn't change diet or anything. So why else would it happen?
I agree that it does cause acne. I believe mine is hormonal and that the masturbation increases flare ups due to hormonal increases. As simple as that. I like jerking off, who doesn't? But I'm going to try and stop doing it for a while to see if it works. But even then, there's usually more than 1 factor in acne. It's not just "you jerk off to much" or "you eat the wrong food". It's usually a combination of all three.
Fuck it, I'm seriously considering just buying accutane online. And if I could get some help in the matter, I'd probably have already done it.
Posted 19 December 2007 - 10:04 PM
think about it.
acne starts when you start puberty, which is also the same time that a guy can actually ejaculate (which I think is the biggest cause of the acne-masturbation relationship)
since your sperm/semen is made up of a variety of substances including vitamins and minerals, can't people realize that your body can potentially use some of the vitamins/minerals used to maintain your skin to make your sperm?
thats why i think overdoing it makes it worse and worse.
i think men past puberty have no say in this matter too

The correlation between masturbating and breaking out is either illusory or there is a third variable at work.
Maybe it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. People who believe the myth that masturbating causes acne... masturbate, stress out that they will breakout after they get their rocks off, and end up breaking out because of all the worrying.
But if you really believe masturbation causes acne, stop masturbating. lol.

Canada's Got TalentPosted: March 12, 2013 Filed under: College Basketball, Kelli Anderson, Weekly Issue | Tags: Canada Basketball, Kelli Anderson, NCAA Basketball, NCAA Tournament Comments Off
One of the most surprising aspects of this season's unpredictable college basketball season is the emergence of star players from north of the border. In this week's SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, senior writer Kelli Anderson examines how Canada, a country that has not made the Olympic podium for basketball in 80 years and one that has only produced three All-NBA team selections and two MVPS in history—all of them named Steve Nash, is about to expand its slim record of hoops distinction in this year's NCAA tournament with Canadian born stars such as Kelly Olynyk (C, Gonzaga), Kevin Pangos (PG, Gonzaga), Anthony Bennett (F, UNLV), Khem Birch (C, UNLV) Junior Cadougan (PG, Marquette) and Nik Stauskas (G, Michigan).
"Compared with players from countries outside North America, Canadians are such a part of the American system now…they have zero transition to make," says Gonzaga head coach Mark Few (PAGE 49).
Anderson finds that the increase in Canadian born players is due in large part to a generation of youth growing up watching the Toronto Raptors, the improvement of Canada's club team circuit and the recruitment of top players by U.S. prep schools.
The NBA also has seen a recent uptick in Canadian players. Of the eight Canadians playing in the NBA this season— there have been 24 total — five were drafted in the last two years, including first rounder's Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph (both drafted in 2011).
"Guys are now seeing what it takes to play at the highest level and not accepting that we're not a basketball country…You see guys like Tristan and Cory make it to the NBA and now that's the goal instead of just making it to the NCAA," says Pangos (PAGES 48-49).
Canada basketball CEO Wayne Parrish calls the recent upsurge in home-grown talent "a tremendous moment," which he hopes to parlay into sustained success on the international stage (PAGE 48).

Safe Bet6 Reviews
I have already made my opinions on summaries known.
Safe Bet
"At last, my love has come along. My lonely days are over…" Gerard sang.
"Who's that?"
"That song."
"Oh. Etta James. 'At Last'. Kinda nice, huh?"
"Yeah, kinda nice. It's kinda nice that you're a romance nerd too. It makes me happy." Egan looked down and bit her lip at this. Gerard just laughed at being called a 'romance nerd'.
They were sitting on Egan's bed, just…talking. After Egan had gone through her episode at Gerard's proclamation of love and then proclaimed her love as well, they had sat in silence for a while. Absorbing.
Proclamations of love are big stuff.
So now they were sitting and talking and not quite believing their luck at where they were and what they were doing. It was no longer dark outside. They had been up all night. The wall of windows and sometimes mirrors was now allowing a good amount of sun to look about inside, falling on table tops and tripping across the bed. The light floors shone. There was a sort of glow around the room this early in the morning. Egan had never been awake to see it until now. Gerard's eyes, the green and brown-gold that looked lit up from the inside, added to the feeling of being in a sunny clearing somewhere in a warm forest.
She was lost in a hazy day dream now, leaning against his chest, not even listening to the words as he spoke, just feeling very safe and warm surrounded by the deep, thrumming rumble of his voice and the reassuring beat of his heart. He had such comfortable heat coming from him.
"…What do you think?"
"Hmm?" She sat up. She was caught. She had no idea what he'd been saying.
"Have you heard a thing I've said?" The look on her face said it all. Gerard sighed. "Tell me, what is it that has distracted you to such an extent?"
"You kept looking me in the eye." She said, and blushed.
"Tell me your greatest wish." She commanded of Gerard as they sat at the island. Just like the first morning, Egan ate Corn Flakes and Gerard had a bagel with cream cheese. He chewed as he thought it over.
"I'm not sure." He finally answered.
"Well that was a bit of an anticlimax."
"What do you mean?"
"'I don't know'? Seriously? You've had all your life to pick a greatest wish and you still don't have one?"
"I don't really have anything to wish for currently. I have a home, health, family, a career doing one of the things I love most, and someone to love. I'm not wanting of anything."
"Wishes aren't made because your life is wanting of something, Gerard," she said, stating what she felt was obvious," Wishes are selfish, fantastical, unrealistic dreams that you save up in your heart. They will probably never come true, but you're loathe to let them go anyway because they are simply too dear to ever leave behind. I can't believe you didn't know that." She scoffed.
"Well pardon me," he murmured around a bite of bagel," I didn't realize you were such an expert on the subject. If I had known I had a bona fide dream consultant sitting right across from me, I would have given it some more thought. Now, as the All Knowing Dreamer, I'm sure you have an excellent one to share."
"I've already told you mine," she accompanied these words with a little side-to-side head action," You just weren't listening, I suppose."
"And what was this great dream that I seem to have forgotten?"
"Remember in the hospital? With the babies? I said I wanted one too. That's my greatest dream."
"And you know I can't have one."
"No, I don't know that. But I know you think of it that way, and I know I can see your point of view very clearly. It's similar to my own regarding the possibility of children for me."
"Our opinions differ."
"As they often do."
"We fight a lot."
"No contest."
Egan swirled her spoon around her cereal bowl, considering. "Are we gonna be okay? Are we gonna be able to fight and bounce back and still be us? Whatever 'us' is? Because I like us right now, and I'd rather keep us as us for now."
"If I understand what you are so convolutedly saying, then my response is I hope so."
"But you don't know." She felt unsatisfied with his uncertainty.
"Neither do you, it seems." He pointed out.
"I think we'll be fine. I think fighting is kind of how we get along sometimes."
"Personally, I'm all in favor of talking for getting along. I realize it's an unconventional approach, but I think we can make it work." he remarked sarcastically.
"Aw, Come on darlin'. You don't like a good lover's quarrel?"
"I'm curious, how did we end up on this subject?"
"Not a clue. Um…we were talking about dreams and babies and then after that I'm lost."
"Let's go back to those topics."
"I'm game."
"So my greatest dream, is it?" She nodded and he leaned back a little, careful not to tip the stool backwards. "To……to find the person who is the perfect, absolute right person for me and to stay with them."
She was looking at him and there was a look in her eyes like somewhere deep inside her something ached. She nodded again and took a huge spoonful of Corn Flakes. "Sounds like a plan to me." She said once she'd finished chewing. "All you have to do is find that someone."
"Maybe I've found that someone."
"Do tell."
"Maybe you're that someone."
"I suppose, hypothetically, I could be that someone."
"Maybe you're not that someone."
"I believe that is very likely."
"You think you and I are wrong for each other." He didn't ask, he stated.
"I think you and I are very compatible. I'm just not an advocate of rushing." She stated back.
"Not true. You rush everything."
"Well not this. I like this. Rushing would invariably damage this beyond repair. I vote we not consider such things as whether I am the 'one' for you and you I just yet."
"I respect your willingness to be careful in order to preserve something you hold dear, but I think for something to be real, you can't worry about preserving and keeping safe and not rushing. If you have to worry and fuss over a relationship just to keep it together, it's not there, the life of it isn't there. I am an advocate of rushing, if that's what is called for, if that's what we're willing and wanting and ready to do. I say we speak of possibilities and how far this could go and be open and up front right now. And if things change, we should be open about that too. If today you decide I'm the one you're going to marry and tomorrow you wish to have never laid eyes on me, I will in no way hold it against you. I just think that from the very get go and from then on, we should always know where we stand and what we are."
"You like your options laid out before you. To plan an escape route if things go sour, I assume?"
"I like to know the purpose behind things. I don't wish to be kept in the dark." There was what some might call a silent face-off. Egan's eyes met Gerard's and stayed there, metering out his sincerity as he judged how ready to take a risk she was.
"Fine," she said, laying her hands palm up on the table and leaning back," We'll do all in. First up, I will never decide you're the one I'm going to marry, so no worries about me leaving you at the altar." Gerard tried to hide it, but he looked a little stricken, so she rushed on. "I'm not ever going to marry." she explained. He looked less hurt at this statement.
"That's a shame. I plan on marrying the girl I love."
"That's funny, you said you love me."
"Then I guess I plan on marrying you."
"Unless something about how you feel changes."
"Of course. I marry for love alone."
"And I don't plan on marrying at all."
"Unless something about how you feel changes." How low he sunk, quoting her to her!
"It won't."
"It might."
"I'm certain."
"No one knows the future, not even you little girl. Given two years, I might have you wed and knocked up."
"You say you might, but you won't." she countered, smiling.
"I have confidence. I am masterful when it comes to persuasion." He said, beaming back.
"I'm willing to bet you can't beat me."
"I'd take that bet."
"You'd lose that bet."
"It's possible."
"It's a sure thing."
"Oh, I don't believe in a sure thing."
"What if I told you we were a sure thing?"
"Then I'd say you'd just made me a believer."
"I figured I could."
"Now tell me this. Why are you so intent on remaining unwed?"
"It's just not something I wanna do. I don't accept free rides, I don't accept charity or people doing things for me—I made an exception in your case—and the idea of someone committing to support me until we die or get a divorce does not in any way appeal to me. I asked if you wanted everything up front so you could plan escape routes because that's what I would do. I'm not willing to tie myself down and bind myself to someone. I have to be able to walk away if I need to. I need to always know there's a trapdoor somewhere."
"I bet I can change your mind."
"We already made that bet."
"So we did. And you're going to lose."
Author's Note: Already bandying about terms like 'marriage'. How very fast these modern relationships move. I'd love to hear your input, and also I'd like to put it to a vote whether the sound of little feet might be in the future somewhere. Of course if I don't like the answer, I might just ignore it, but as long as you've got the option of democracy you should excercise it. So go weigh in and tell me all about your opinions.

Celebrating the Arts & Diversity

Intersections is a juried one-day art fair providing artists with the unique opportunity to showcase work that expresses, embraces, and celebrates cultural and artistic diversity.

Session IPA – Dave Kahlow has been brewing for about 23 years and enjoys learning nuances about the brewing process and sharing the brewing experience with people throughout his life. Dave enjoys taking what appear to be simple ingredients and converting them into a variety of beer styles that can be shared with friends and family. Oh yeah, and Dave lived in Portland where he picked up a lot of good tips.
Rye IPA – Nate Hutchinson likes the smell of grains steeping, hops hopping, and the fermentation happening in his home. Sharing his homemade brews is something he has enjoyed for some time. "Sharing your own brew is better than sharing a store-bought brew."
Hoppy Wheat Beer – Doug Schenkelberg started brewing because of his love of craft beer and wanting understand the art and science behind making a good beer. He has been known to use spreadsheets to keep track of beers. He continues to brew to learn, share, and come up with fun names for the things he create. It also gives him a reason to use the word "saccharification."
Belgian Blonde – Rick Boltinghouse, Renaissance Man. Father of Seven. Devoted Husband. Ardent Homebrewer.
Milk Stout – Tom Hollinden says there isn't just one reason he likes to brew – its a combination of having fun, trying new things and the excitement around always ending up with a something that tastes great.
American Brown Ale – John Chapman-Reinstra This brew has dense layers of malt, caramel, baking chocolate, and a hint of roast coffee. John Chapman-Rienstra was inspired to home-brew due to his love of craft brews and increasing beer snobbery, insistence on learning how to do everything, and desire for a new expensive hobby. He is a living testament to, "If this guy can brew craft beer, anyone can." (He will also have some bottles of Autumn Amber Ale, his first craft brew, on hand, to prove how easy this is.)

(CBC) — You meet someone, there's chemistry, and then come the introductory questions: What's your name? Come here often? Are you my cousin?
In Iceland, a country with a population of 320,000 where most everyone is distantly related, inadvertently kissing cousins is a real risk.
A new smartphone app is on hand to help Icelanders avoid accidental incest. The app lets users "bump" phones, and emits a warning alarm if they are closely related. "Bump the app before you bump in bed," says the catchy slogan.
Some are hailing it as a welcome solution to a very Icelandic form of social embarrassment.

Respect for OthersOct 17th, 2009 | By webmaster | Category: Detecting Tips
Respect Others
Always cover your holes even on the beaches, so people that are walking or jogging don't twist their ankle, because they rarely look where they're going! Always take the trash you dig up with you. A lot of times we get home and go through our trash, and discover things we thought was junk and it wasn't.
Nosey People
Let's face it… metal detectorists get a lot of attention! It's rare that you'll be going to a place where nobody else is around. The best thing to do, when you get to a site, is to start detecting at the far end, away from the crowd. Then once people have noticed you, watched for awhile, and noticed how far away you're detecting, they'll go back to their own business, and forget about you. In other words, they'll get use to you.
Once that happens, you can edge your way closer to a crowd or to a better area. Some may even edge their way over to you, just to chat.
If you don't want to be bothered with nosey people, try starting your day early, or later after the crowds thin out, or when it's raining. Whenever you choose to go metal detecting one thing is guaranteed – you will enjoy it!

We're having enough of a challenge dealing with poor air quality affecting our respiratory systems and quality of life. However, when it comes to what we put in our bodies, many of us have a choice. The sooner we choose the wiser, the sooner this planet and her residents will be able to live in the natural and healthy conditions intended for us. - Forrest Kolb via Facebook
