If I were married to Spain, Belgium would be my mistress on the side. We began our journey early in the morning on Saturday, catching a 7am train from Strasbourg to Metz. Being the cheapskates that we are, we went for the cheapest train possible. This means the early as hell train with a lot of connections. From Metz we transferred to a train headed to Luxembourg, and then finally to a train headed to Namur. In total, it was about a 5 hour train ride, but time flew by because I spent most of it asleep. My ability to fall asleep on trains and airplanes has improved A LOT.
We got to Namur right around noon. Namur is the capital city of Wallonia, which is the southern region of Belgium. It's located along the Meuse river, and it's a charming little city. We were lucky enough to catch a few jet skiers racing in the river AND this weekend happened to be Namur's fete de la musique. The first order of business was lunch, as we were starving by that point, and we asked for a good restaurant to feast on tasty Belgian waffles. I ordered a Brussels waffle, which is fluffier and less dense than a Liege waffle. It was completely indulgent, covered in lots of cream and sugar. This was actually my first time having a Belgian waffle, period. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it again.
After lunch, we climbed up a mountain (no, I'm serious) in order to get to the citadel in Namur. As you all know, I'm incredibly lazy, so climbing a mountain took a lot of effort on my part. Once we got up there, however, the view was incredible. I must have snapped at least ten pictures of the city. We took a little tour of the citadel and then went to go check out the music festival.
It rained pretty much all day on Saturday, so we spent some of the time huddled under buildings or our umbrellas. That was the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of in Belgium. It rains even more than Strasbourg?! Once the rain finally stopped, we went to have a drink at one of the local bars. That was pretty exciting, because Belgium apparently knows how to party! We heard a lot of bottles crashing, and even got to sort-of witness a bar fight. I say sort-of because we only heard it and the ruckus, but didn't actually see it. That was when we decided we should probably head back to our hostel.
The next morning (aka this morning!), we caught a 10am train to Brussels! The weather was still icky, but it rained much less than it did on Saturday. This city was a blast. We spent some time around the medieval square just marveling at how beautiful the buildings were, and of course, went to go see the Manneken Pis. The Manneken Pis is the famous statue of a little boy peeing. He gets dressed up in different costumes during holidays, but unfortunately he was naked for us.
Since we had a Brussels-style waffle yesterday, clearly we had to have a Liege waffle today. These are the street vendor kind (hooray for 1euro waffles!), and my favorite if I had to pick between the two different styles. These things are DENSE and deliciously sticky and sweet. I had one early in the day and then got TWO to-go on our way back to the train station. What? Don't judge.
For lunch, I had the famous Belgium meal of a bucket of mussels, frites, and a beer. The mussels were another thing that sold me to this country. I almost cried of happiness at getting a bucket full of mussels. Tasty tasty.
After lunch, we wandered into the museum of chocolate. It took a lot of willpower to not stay in there for hours and eat all of their chocolate. Oh, and there's a chocolate statue of the Manneken Pis. Awesome.
Before we ended our day, we bought some Belgian chocolate to bring back home. I'm currently eating my way through some of mine. I bought a bar to share with my lineage at Psi U (and Jairo), but I can't promise that I won't give in and just eat it myself before the end of the summer. Hopefully I can resist. I would have gotten a lot more, but that stuff is pretty pricey…
Belgian people are also incredibly friendly. Not to say that the French are mean or anything, but a lot of people were so happy to have conversation with us. We got a free round of amaretto after dinner on Saturday, because our waiter was awesome. Even the lady who gave us our cappuccino in Namur and spoke absolutely no English (Gosh I hope my French isn't painful to their ears) wanted to know more about why we were in Europe.
3.5 more hours until we get to Strasbourg. Let's see if I can sleep the time away.
Oh, I never made a post about Luxembourg last week. Dammit.

The Land Of Sometimes, is quite literally a musical adventure! It combines a story with music to take the listener on a magical adventure.The music is integral to the story, and really it is a modern day operetta, I wonder if it will take to the stage one day? I certainly hope so! I might tweet them and ask - you can follow them on twitter via @landofsometimes
If you worry that your little one doesn't use their imagination enough, or if you really enjoy to see them stimulated to imagine a scene, or simply if you want a great story you need to get the a copy of The Land of Sometimes! The language is highly descriptive, and whether describing people or places, enables you to close your eyes and visualise the scene. The music really makes the story by adding atmosphere and creating a mood for each part of the story. Our favourite has to be the Ballad of the River Slouch Sling, I asked how the song made Boo feel, and he said "Huge, Heavy and lazy" which I would say is a fair description of the creature! He thought some of the words were a bit funny, and giggled a fair bit!
The entire cd is fabulous, and there is something for boys and girls, from slimey creatures to naughty fairies!
The story tellers voice is quite something isn't it? Certainly his voice captivates us!
There are plenty of of activities on the Land of Sometime website, which include activities for all ages - from colouring your favourite characters to downloading the map of the island (and colouring it to!).
We have been totally captivated by the Land of Sometimes, it has encouraged Boo to use descriptive language and to talk about how music makes him feel, as well as providing a great introduction into different genres of music! Boo is 3 1/2 and loves it, my 8year old niece is equally keen, and I must confess I've had a sneaky listen when the boys are in bed so I can enjoy it all by myself!
Land of Sometime is available to buy now priced at £8.99 at Amazon!
You can follow Land of Sometime on twitter or Facebook.

After state-sponsored atheism failed, the USSR gradually began allowing the Russian Orthodox Church to begin ministering once again. However, they had one condition: that Marx, Lenin, and Stalin be canonized as saints, so edicts from the Kremlin would appear to have the power of G-d behind them.
This is an ikon of Saint Iosif, c. 2003.
I really don't know whether to laugh or cry.

The MSTP curriculum at UAB is a truly integrated educational program. It is composed of three phases: the preclinical phase (2 years), the research phase (usually 3.5 to 4.5 years), and the clinical phase(14-18 months).
The most distinctive feature of the UAB MSTP curriculum is that students in the first year take both the core graduate biomedical science curriculum and the medical school basic science courses. Under the new integrated medical school curriculum, first year MSTP students take the Patient, Doctor and Society course in late summer. Throughout the Fall semester, they learn biochemistry, genetics, cellular biology, and a variety of other disciplines from research faculty, which are taught as core courses in the Graduate Biomedical Sciences (GBS) Program. This serves to enhance their knowledge set while also exposing them to possible researcher mentors or collaborators. Because the core courses in GBS cover material presented in the medical school Fundamentals I course, MSTP student are exempt from this course, with the exception of the histology, anatomy, and pharmacology sections. Subsequently, in the late Fall MSTP students take Fundamentals II in the medical school curriculum. Fundamentals II covers general topics related to pathology, pharmacology and medical microbiology/immunology. Starting in the spring semester of their first year, MSTP students take organ-based modules as part of the medical school curriculum.
The second year of the MSTP curriculum is essentially the same as the second year of medical school. The medical school courses during second year consist of a series of organ-based modules. Grading in the UASOM is on a Pass/Fail system. MSTP students also take additional theme specific courses in GBS that relate to specific areas of research in which they have an interest.
Three rotations in different research labs are scheduled, primarily for the purpose of selecting the student's thesis mentor for their PhD dissertation work. The first required rotation is a full-time rotation beginning in June prior to the entry into the first year medical school curriculum. After a 3-week break for UASOM orientation and the Patient, Doctor, and Society course, this rotation can be continued on a part-time basis during the early fall of the first year (during the timeframe of the Fundamentals I module) and consists of bench laboratory work or a similar experience in epidemiology, computer science, etc. The second two rotations are for 8-10 weeks of full time effort during the next two summers.
In early August of the third year in the program, students select a research mentor, join a PhD department or GBS theme, and complete the requirements for the Ph.D. degree in that theme/department. Generally, they are required to take a course in research ethics, a course in biostatistics, and a handful of advanced topic courses over their tenure in the lab.
There are several additional enrichment opportunities within the MSTP, including a monthly seminar course focused on translational research, an annual summer research retreat, and a transition experience for students to brush up on clinical skills prior to completing the dissertation. Students are also required to complete the "Survival Skills for Physician Scientists" course in the summer between the MS1 and MS2 years. This course covers grant preparation and review, developing scientific presentations, career development, and time and data management.
Entry into the clinical phase of the program occurs after completion of the PhD and must begin at the beginning of a clinical "block". The clinical phase of the program includes most of the clerkships normally taken by third-year medical students and an abbreviated set of "fourth year" electives, for a total of 14 months of required classes. Additional time is allowed for several extra electives, travel for residency interviews and time for study and preparation for the part 2 of the National Boards (USMLE). The UAB MSTP covers three semesters of tuition for clinical clerkships.

Matthew Kenney Academy - W2 D2
Oh man. I have eaten SO much raw ice cream today! Not only did I eat a mountain of my own batch but I also sampled EIGHT other flavors…It's been a gooood day I tell you! *Rolled my way home*. As the picture reveals I did a chocolate-mint flavor to my ice cream. I just love that combo and it tasted GREAT! For those of you who wonder the ice cream is based on cashews, coconut meat, coconut cream, vanilla and agave syrup!
Our dumpling wrappers (coconut meat colored with cilantro and spinach juice) we prepared yesterday where ready for us today. We made a cashew/tahini/kimchi-filling for them and fold them into cute little dumpling envelopes! On the plate there was also a ginger foam to go with the dumplings. Absolutely loved these. Raw dumplings rock!

Law Enforcement Officer, government agency
This conversation is closed.
Has the time come for the U.S Second Amendment to be repealed or amended?
After yesterdays tragic shooting in Newtown CT and the worst year ever for firearm related deaths and mass killings , has the time for the US Government to tell the Gun Lobby it is over and repeal or amend "the right of the people to bear arms".
Should it be repealed on the grounds that when originally written it was for a smaller population to defend the "State" and meant for Muskets and flintlocks not semi automatics and military hardware, which makes it no longer viable on account of relevance to this day and age.
That Militia should be held to Law Enforcement agencies, Military and government controlled Para military agencies, with a show need, clause for people such as certain Primary producers etc.
Is it time to tell the NRA and the Gun Lobby there will be no more "collateral" damage no matter how much you donate to the "Party"
What would be the best way for the government to enforce such a law???
And please no Guns do not kill people, people kill people debates it was people who invented firearms in the first place.
The time has come to realise it is mainly our children who pay the ultimate price for lack of diligence in monitoring a problem that has been there for far too many years.
Closing Statement from Morgan Barnes
Firstly I would like to say I did not flag or delete anyone's comments I am perfectly capable of speaking for myelf however I did get frustrated and had some comments deleted myself.
As I write this President Obama has signed 23 executive orders inline with Colleen's post from yesterday from New York.
I have to admit I am a little disappointed that we could not of just discussed the issue in a more calm, critical and logical manner and be able to offer solutions as well as recognised the underling causes, as this is a forum for open ideas and thinking, Then again we are dealing with human nature.
To those of you from the International community thank you for your imput and allowing people to see the different views helds in different parts of the world on this subject.
I will not deny that the Constitution and The Bill Of Rights are the backbone of America, but remember it was written by man not given by god and man can take it away or amend it, if he really wants too.
I am a believer that in the 21st Century we should use it to advance humankind to address the problems of the world and improve it for all. It won't be easy but we have to start somewhere or we risk implementing our own destruction.
I hope that this be a positive start and and an even more positive step in which the US can show the way.
Once again I thank you all for your contributions

Jan 9 2013: Letter to the President 29 Dec 2012 - Part One Please read above 1st (Sorry):
Mr. President,
Every facet of who I am compels me to write this letter to you. My name is Charles Clingensmith CPO USN Retired (2011), I am a veteran, patriot, husband of a Kindergarten teacher, father of two amazing little boys (3/8), and a student of Gunsmithing at Lassen Community College.
During my military career I had many opportunities and experiences to work with amazing people, including serving at SEAL Team One as the Intel Chief for LT Matthew Flavin; recently the former White House Director of Veterans and Wounded Warrior Policy. I had the distinct pleasure of serving with Matt from late 2004 until he resigned his commission in 2007. In my 20 years in the Navy there has never been a better Naval Officer to serve under.
The purpose of writing you is a desire to open a dialogue regarding the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14th. I pray for the families of those lost that day and am fiercely proud of the teachers and administrators that stood up to the gunman. Never before in my life have I been so affected by a tragedy such as what happened that day. Just like many Americans I have witnessed my share of tragedy: My wife and I watched the events of September 11th 2001 unfold on television while stationed in Japan; while I deployed with SEAL Team Three in 2006 the command faced the loss of Marc Lee; I visited my friend Dan Cnossen at Bethesda Naval Medical Hospital after he lost his legs in Afghanistan, and on August 6th 2011 I mourned the loss of soldiers I had served with, Aaron (Chainsaw) Vaughn and JT Tumilson, while deployed with SEAL Team One in 2005 and 2007.

Re: Fave Elimination Chambers of the past
Survivor Series 2002 - The all-time classic. Rob Van Dam should've won though.
SummerSlam 2003 - I hated Goldberg at the time, but looking back on it, it was a horrible decision to have Triple H retain. That Phoenix crowd was PISSED!
New Year's Revolution 2005 - This was actually a good match, but Triple H winning back the title that was stripped from him was a complete troll move.
New Year's Revolution 2006 - Angle gets eliminated first with Carlito and fucking Masters making it to the end? Such nonsense. Thank God Edge made the save afterwards!
December To Dismember - Bobby Lashley won and nobody gave a shit. Again, RVD should've won.
SD No Way Out 2008 - The Undertaker somehow made this enjoyable to watch considering it had two guys that absolutely sucked in it.
RAW No Way Out 2008 - I didn't mind Triple H winning this time. This was a really good Elimination Chamber!
SD No Way Out 2009 - People like this one, but it just dragged on too long for me.
RAW No Way Out 2009 - I would've liked this better if Edge had taken out Mike Knox instead of Kofi Kingston.
RAW No Way Out 2010 - One of my favorite Chambers matches. Very fun to watch!
SD No Way Out 2010 - Good match, but I wish The Undertaker had retained since him and Michaels winded up main eventing Wrestlemania anyway.
SD No Way Out 2011 - My favorite Elimination Chamber match ever. Everything booked from start to finish was done perfectly with Edge defending his title in tremendous fashion.
RAW No Way Out 2011 - John Cena won and it was a total buzzkill.
RAW No Way Out 2012 - Great match. Chris Jericho being removed from the match was quite clever.
SD No Way Out 2012 - I would've enjoyed this so much more if Santino hadn't been involved. Seriously, he ruined the match for me.

This post has nothing to do with the Christian God. Instead it concerns another one of my fictional imaginary companions, namely one Charlotte Abigail Lux, also known as CAL.
Some of you may remember her from Doctor Who as the little girl in Silence In The Library/Forest Of The Dead who (SPOILER ALERT FOR AN EPISODE THAT AIRED IN 2008) had her mind uploaded to the Library's computer core when she was terminally ill. So now she can live in any time period, or any book. She loved books more than anything.
Being friends with a virtual librarian from the future has its perks. She has read all the books that Aniki has yet to write, and she thinks they're good. However, she does think I'm a Mary Sue. My imagination of her feeds her imagination of me. Right now, I imagine she is having an uncomfortable Christmas dinner with Doctor Moon, River Song, and 'The Changeling' - a computer program designed to give her company that went haywire and became her worst enemy.
Charlotte is a fascinating person to be around. We watch a lot of TV and read a lot of books together. I suppose it is inevitable that we came across a show called Doctor Who.
Rather than break the fourth wall and reveal to CAL that she is a fictional character on Doctor Who (which is a very nasty thing to ever do to an imaginary friend) my Aniki came up for a way we could enjoy Doctor Who without questioning our realities.
Her made is so that to her Doctor Who is a fictionalised retelling of events that happened in real life. She is often complaining about the historical inaccuracies, or saying 'The Doctor would never do that'. But what does she know of The Doctor? I haven't asked, but I presume she went through the same events that were depicted in Silence In The Library/Forest Of The Dead (I hope she never sees those episodes), That means that at some point The Doctor saved her from going mad.
But Charlotte Abigail Lux does more than just owe her sanity to The Doctor. She literally worships him, like a god. She has told me all about the religion of 'Doctoralism' and even shown me their equivalent of a church.
I suppose that would make Doctor Who the equivalent of an animated Bible story or a Nativity play. So how does that make it heretical? Well from what I am told, Doctoralism is much less dogmatic than 21st century religions. Everyone is entitled to their own visions of The Doctor, and all their interpretations are equally valid. Charlotte doesn't have a problem with writers and actors reinterpreting the character of The Doctor. In fact she quite likes that. But in her mind, there is one thing The Time of The Doctor got horribly wrong.
It saved Gallifrey.
CAL tells me that the Sacrifice of Gallifrey is one of the central tenets of Doctoralism. I suppose it's like their equivalent of the crucifixion. If The Doctor had not sacrificed his entire race to save the universe, there would be no meaning to every good deed that is done to honour that sacrifice. She seemed quite insistent about this.
I told her that The Doctor would probably not take kindly to the idea of a religion built around worshipping him, and saying that certain things are 'heretical'. But she replied with 'And what do you know about The Doctor?' Well I didn't know what to say to that. Within her own fictitious reality, she has a good point. The only thing I have seen of The Doctor is the equivalent of Bible fanfiction. She has seen the real thing.

About Us
PhillyTreeMap is a web-based map database of trees in the greater Philadelphia region. The wiki-style database enables non-profits, government, volunteer organizations, and the general public to collaboratively create an accurate and informative inventory of the trees in their communities.
PhillyTreeMap was built by Azavea, a Philadelphia-based software design and development firm specializing in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, with funding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). In 2010, Azavea was awarded a USDA Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant to develop a prototype of new data management software that will assist communities with the inventory and maintenance of urban forests.
PhillyTreeMap is the result of that development. Developed based on the open source code originating from the Urban Forest Map project in San Francisco, PhillyTreeMap enables members of the public to join government and non-profit organizations in adding and updating information about trees in the greater Philadelphia region. With an accurate and up to date tree inventory, we can work more efficiently toward maintaining our urban forest and promoting green communities in Philadelphia.
This material is based upon work supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under Agreement No. 2010-33610-20937 of the Small Business Innovation Research Grants Program.

Spotlight: FoodTank Challenges Global Food System to Improve
Danielle Nierenberg is an expert on agriculture and food and co-founder of Food Tank: The Food Think Tank www.foodtank.org. She is an expert on sustainable agriculture and food issues. She recently spent two years traveling to more than 35 countries across sub-Saharan Africa and Asia looking at environmentally sustainable ways of alleviating hunger and poverty. Her knowledge of global agriculture issues has been cited widely in more than 3,000 major publications including The New York Times, USA Today, the International Herald Tribune, The Washington Post, BBC, the Guardian(UK), the Mail and Guardian (South Africa), the East African (Kenya), TIME magazine, Reuters, Agence France Presse, Voice of America, the Times of India, and other major publications. Danielle worked for two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic and also currently serves as the food security adviser for Citizen Effect (an NGO focused on sustainable development projects worldwide).
There is no doubt that the food system is broken. More than one billion people are obese, nearly one billion people go to bed hungry every night, and at least two billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. Roughly a half-century after the Green Revolution—the first systematic, large-scale attempt to reduce poverty and hunger throughout the world—a large share of the human family is still chronically without food, reliable income, and access to education. And over the last 30 years, the western food system has been built to promote over-consumption of a few consolidated commodities and has failed to be the harbinger of health as it spreads around the world. The epidemic of obesity in industrialized and developing countries alike is increasing the risks of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other maladies. Ironically, the "solution" to hunger—increasing production of starchy staple crops—has also created the problem of obesity.
In addition, we waste vast amounts of food—more than one third of all food worldwide is wasted. In the developing world, roughly 40 percent of all food goes to waste as a result of pests, disease, and improper storage. The impacts of climate change and years of disregard for soil and water health are becoming increasingly evident leading to drought and disease from Iowa to Niger. Investment in agriculture continues to emphasize quantity over quality and we need adaptation and solutions. We need to find a different way to feed the world.
Food Tank: The Food Think Tank, the new organization I co-founded, will help propel that change by fostering the growing community of voices on food, health, and environmental sustainability issues. Food Tank is bringing attention to these important issues by bridging the domestic and the global. We believe there is an opportunity to develop a better vision for the global food system and is prepared to take on challenges by helping to connect producers and consumers, policy-makers and activists, and farmers and eaters. We're trying to bridge the major disconnect between organizations that are fighting hunger and organizations that are fighting obesity. The two groups have more in common than they think. The truth is we're all fighting to get people access to nutritious food, no matter where we are in the world, but we need to be asking the right questions and developing the right metrics for today's food system realities, not yesterday's.
In a recent thirty-five country research tour across sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America, the United States, and Europe, I found hope and real progress towards better solutions for food system sustainability in industrialized and developing countries alike. By visiting hundreds of projects, talking with farmers, farmers' groups, NGOs, policy-makers, educators, funders, journalists, and other stakeholders, I was able to see the change afoot. Agriculture can be the solution to some the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges. Through our on-the ground-research, we have seen the impact that sustainable and diverse farming systems can have on health and nutrition, food security, and the livelihood of farmers. We can create state-of-the-art sustainable farming systems by using a combination of traditional practices that have worked for hundreds of years all over the world and modern eco-friendly technologies.
Fixing the system requires changing the conversation and finding ways that make food production—and consumption—more economically, environmentally, and socially just and sustainable. The solutions, both big and small, are out there—in market garden projects in rural Niger, on rooftop gardens in Vietnam, at research institutes in Taiwan, in European healthy school food systems, in the explosion of farmers markets across the U.S., in global food retailing initiatives that prevent food waste, and in individual communities all over the world. Unfortunately, these projects are not getting the attention and the investment they need. The science is out there, too, yet it is not getting the funding to change the metrics we use to measure agricultural success. This needs to change.

Someone wants your body.
Stop surfing the Web and get to work!
Good news will come to you from far away.
Those voices you hear make sense.
He [Gyllenhaal] says, "Heath almost broke my nose in (a kissing) scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me. And then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the sh*t beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn't hurting as badly as I did after that one."
"An 80-year-old woman bit my stomach one time. She wouldn't let go," he said. "I had the teeth marks for about a week."
As I said, I don't believe this is the end of the world. Yes, the spotlight was kept on the issues of concern to social conservatives as away of mobilizing them to vote. However, I am less certain that they'll get everything they think they voted for, which is to say I believe that this was a campaign strategy and might not be too much more. In Bush's news conference today he made NO mention of a marriage amendment and was very eager to point out that there is no Supreme Court vacancy at the moment so he wasn't going to get into the discussion about who might fill one. I'm cautiously optimistic that those are fights he really doesn't want to engage in from the extreme right, because he does realize that 48% of voters didn't vote for him and his ego is big enough to make him want to leave a huge legacy not diminished by political impasse. He knows there's a line past which Democrats and even moderate Republicans will dig in their heels and he still does need a few of their votes to get the job done, so he'll pick his battles. I predict he'll save his political capital, to use his phrase, for the things he really believes will benefit ALL of us and allow history to show him in his best light -- tax reform, social security reform, the Iraq war. If he doesn't have any capital left to spend on socially conservative agenda items, that'll probably be OK with him.
Social Security reform - Bush promised action on Social Security reform in his second term - we'll see if that happens. It looks like he'll have a more Republican Congress, he should be able to get it done.The national retail sales tax - I don't imagine we'll see any action on the "Fair Tax" plan, but it's more likely than if Kerry had won. I'll take it.The war on terror - I think he's been basically good in the war on terror - not perfect, but Kerry wouldn't have been either - I'm optimistic that he'll continue that.The war in Iraq - I'm still worried about the mess in Iraq and what we're doing there, but I'm determined to be optimistic that he'll get us out of it successfully.
11 anti-gay amendments passed in various states. This will strengthen Bush's hand to continue politicizing gay marriage. The only ray of light I see here is that there's no longer a political play for Bush - but that won't stop him from trying to use it as an issue to help his Congressional buddies.The Supreme Court - I'll admit that I'm of two minds here. There are decisions - especially some property rights cases that are sure to reach TSC in the next couple of years - where I know I'll be happy with the decisions of Bush appointees. But, overall, I think I'm not gonna like the people he appoints. And honestly, Kerry appointees would surely decide more favorably on gay rights cases, but as Stephen Miller points out, that's not necessarily a good thing. "Too much" success in the courts can backfire.The deficit - Bush and the Congress have OBSCENELY mismanaged the federal budget. I know: war, terrorism, recession. Blah blah blah. Even with all of those things, he's still been irresponsible. I don't like the chances of anything resembling fiscal responsibility for the next four years.

At the top of the week, the 20-year-old reality TV star posted a photo of herself in a bikini on Twitter, with the added message, "No, I'm not pregnant. No, I'm not fat. Check out my new bathing suit. I love it. So bright!"
Evans later clarified her changing figure in a more detailed tweet.
"I gained weight from my surgery and now all that extra weight is gone. I have birth control in my arm it's called Implanon," she said.
The surgery she was referring to in said tweet was a recent breast augmentation. Evans subsequently showed off her post-surgery body in a series of photos on Twitter, which you can check out below.
Earlier this month, Evans confirmed she is engaged to her 22-year-old boyfriend, Gary Head. See photos of her engagement ring here!
Evans became famous for her stint on the MTV reality series Teen Mom 2. She has a 3-year-old son, Jace, with her ex-boyfriend, Andrew Lewis.
What do you think of Jenelle's bikini bod? And is it time for the tabloids to leave her alone? Sound off, below!

Tomorrow's Car Today
NASCAR's "Car of Tomorrow" tested in March on the track where it will make its official debut next year and received high marks from both NASCAR and the drivers who participated.
Three NASCAR Nextel Cup Series teams – Richard Childress Racing, Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, and Roush Racing – along with NASCAR's own prototype, tested for more than seven hours at Bristol Motor Speedway, the site where the Car of Tomorrow will run the first of 16 scheduled races for the 2007 season. Previous Car of Tomorrow tests were held at Talladega Superspeedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway and Daytona International Speedway.
At the March test, Brett Bodine, NASCAR director of cost research, drove the Car of Tomorrow. Cup drivers who participated included Carl Edwards, Jeff Burton and Reed Sorenson.
Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition, says the test was a great opportunity for the teams to learn and adjust, and at the same time provide important feedback to NASCAR.
"The primary goal for today's test session was to see how the cars would handle both in single car runs and in traffic," says Pemberton. "It was a real positive for us, as we were able to get a close look at how the cars would run here, listen to the drivers and their team members, and have a good exchange of information."
Pemberton says the addition of the rear wing, which would replace the conventional spoiler, is in the "95 percent window of certainty" as being a new feature on the car. The wing is a bolt-on aerodynamic piece that can be adjusted so the car's handling can be tailored to different tracks. It is just one aspect of the Car of Tomorrow that will allow for reduced costs in the teams' overall car inventory.
"The general consensus is that the wing is the way to go, and we continue to get positive feedback from it," says Pemberton. "It's economical and has become a great option for us in this new design. It should be a real advantage for the teams in helping to control their costs."
Burton says the Car of Tomorrow will allow a driver's talents and abilities to become even more prevalent than they are today.
"Even though technology and engineering become bigger and better every year, the great thing about our sport is that you've got to have the driver in order to compete, and NASCAR does a great job of seeing to it that technology doesn't take over," Burton says. "With the Car of Tomorrow, there's no doubt in my mind that the driver is really going to come into play."
As the test progressed, Burton says he became more and more comfortable with the car's handling and with the wing.
"When we first tested with the wing, we weren't that comfortable with it, but we made a couple of adjustments, and we became very comfortable with it," he says. "The great thing about the wing is that you shouldn't pick up as big of an aero push when you get behind a guy, so when you catch a guy, you might actually be able to pass and go by him."
NASCAR focused on the car's balance during the morning portion of the test and spent the afternoon working on the car's aerodynamic features.

DEDICATED TO THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AXD PRESS VOL. IV WARDEN'S ALL-CITY MACHINE LOOK 'EM OVER Player Position Allen Left End . Ogden Davis Left Tackel Weber Knudson Left Guard Ogden S. Doxey Center Ogden Price ... Right Guard Weber Paetsch Right Tackle Ogdeii Hickman - ....Right End Weber Thomas. Quarterback Ogden Lindsay .Left Halfback Weber Skeen Right Halfback Ogden Doxey - Fullback Ogden Al Warden, local sport writer for the Standard-Examiner, in an article published by the local paper Sunday, November 14, made public his selection of the All-City High School gridiron team. In choosing the team Warden has listed seven of the Tiger lair and four of our big purple -warriors. The Herald does not agree entirely on some of the selections. In the first place Hickman of Weber has played in the right halfback position during the present season, having been shifted from end where he played last year. Hickman has played star ball in the half-back position and should win hands down for this position as a running mate for Lindsay on the all-city team. Both Lindsay and Hickman are the fastest gridiron players in the city and make a wonderful pair. Wardpn -o S-n.My i.iit.-g cuoice sifter witnessing games played by our purple warriors on their home field while all, whether students or sportsmen from the outside, will agree that Weber's playing in the games at Kaysville and Salt Lake was far superior to the two local games. If Warden should have witnessed the wonderful game played by Hickman against the L. D. S. eleven there would have been undoubtedly a change in his selection. After disagreeing upon this point we necessarily must give our choice for the right end position. The choice of the Herald and of the majority of sport fans for this position would be Eugene Barnes, star of our big purple and white team. He has outwitted every opponent on the field this season and by the way has only played in one local game this season, and that game being the one which we were forced to sacrifice in- order to center our attention under our new field gen- eralship to winning the game with the Ogden lair. In stating that we really sacrificed our game with Granite , just proof is furnished when wt3 state that Davis defeated us by a 7-0 score and then defeated Granite by a 47-7 score, while Granite defeated us by a 3 4-0 score; the , largest score which has been compiled against our team this season. Barnes is a star of the first order and having surprised all in the games this season, Warden does not even give him honorable tnention in his selection. Warden's article as it appeared in the Standard-Examiner is as' fol-' lows: With King Football nearing the end of his fifty-first season and with the annual Weber-Ogden gridiron battle now history for the 192 0 season the grid fans of Ogden have chattered in all parts of the city discussing the all-state interscholastic possibilities for the past season together with the all-city possibilities. The all-state selections, however, will not be made until the 1920 season closes , which is next Saturday, and from present indications no schools in the state with the exception of the East and West High appear to have a chance at landing honors for their players. Ogden, be it said, has one man who is consid ered for such honors in Captain Skeen. The all-city selection gives the Tigers seven men and the Weber- il os four players, which in the opinion of the majority of fans, is a selection which would do honor to the city. Thomas, star quarterback of the OGDEN, School Tigers, is named captain of the eleven. During the entire season Thomas has handled his aggregation in the class of a polished veteran and stands out head and shoulders above the other players for this honor. He is a cool headed player, and was one of the main springs in the Tiger play against the fast East High aggregation. He plays a snappy game at the quarterback position. Two Fast Ends At ends, Allen of Ogden and Hickman of Weber are the men chosen. During the entire season these two men showed to wonderful advantage at running down punts, breaking up plays and all in all playing their position. They are in a class with the best ends in the state. Hickman won the honors over Norton of Ogden due to liif pvnprionfo .-..a i-iiijii:g in ihe final games of the season. These two men would no doubt be a tower of strength to any aggregation. Davis of Weber and Paetsch of Ogden win the tackle positions. The fight for honors for the left tackle position were close, however, Davis winning by a hair over Hyland of Ogden. Paetsch, however, had no competition and won hands down. Both Davis and Paetsch rank as tackles of the first order. They proved towers of strength on both offensive and defensive play and were big factors in the pepper shown by their respective elevens during the past season. Price of Weber and Knudson of Ogden were victors in the race for the guard positions. Price is awarded the right guard position with Knudson in the other guard position. These two men during the season took especial delight in battering through the line and breaking up plays. They were in every play and showed ability in every contest in which they took part. L. Doxey wins the pivot honors without competition. His passing during the season has been of A-l class and his defensive work also of high calibre. While Hinckley of Weber displayed considerable class, his work was outclassed by that of Tiger center. Doxey, by the way, ranks with the best centers in the state. With Thomas at the pivot position the backfield would not be complete without Tom Doxey, Skeen and Lindsay. These four men pitted together in the backfield would make any aggregation in the state- step to win. Thomas is far superior to Newman of the Weberites, and showed his ability in all games during the sea son. He is fast, shifty and a won derful open field runner. Lindsay a Star Lindsay, of Weber, is far superior to Gooden of Ogden in the backfield. He is fast, shifty and is a heady player. His speed is one of his chief points and he surely has enough of this to burn up any track in the state. With Lindsay in the left halfback position and with Skeen of Ogden as his running mate, opponents would have to say their prayers before entering the game against these men. Both are battering rams, line plungers of ability and circle the ends with great precision. And to top this off both men are stars at forward passing. Skeen is regarded as the strongest player on the Tiger eleven while UTAH, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, Lindsay wins like honors on the Weber machine. Both men are speed merchants and would look like a million dollars in unies of the same team. Tom Doxey is the unanimous choice for the fullback position. Doxey's work in the past four games has been remarkable. He was in every play in the contest against the Leopards and showed to good advantage against the Weberites. He is a human tank, and covered ground like a regular Haymond in all of his games. Gooden of Ogden High, backfield star, Halliday of Weber, Smith of Ogden High, Hyland of Ogden High and Couch of Weber, receive honorable mention for their playing during the season. These men were outclassed by the men selected but nevertheless played wonderful ball, and deserve credit for their consistency in trying for honors. TWO RIVAL CLASSES CLASH HORNS AFTER VARSITY PLAY Senior Class Returned as Victors After Sophomores Break Up Their Class Meeting HAIR-CLIPPERS ON DISPLAY IN GROUPS "Abbey" Leishman Returned as Big Sophomore Hero After opcuuui.g "4"our-iiits" With a vim and pep unequaled, the Seniors completely demolished the Sophomore class in a spirited class fight which will be remembered by the whirling fists, torn suits, damp water, screams of feminine voices, shady optics, etc., and last but not least, the halls left spotted throughout with only bright and alert Seniors. All know the outcome, but the starting flame is disputed, the Seniors upholding one version, while the Sophomores uphold another. Some do not care concerning this point, while others, such as the ringleaders in the classes, do. Both groups scaned for victory while one, of course, found such fruits in it's grasp and the other, of course, found that their "mob, ' if we may be allowed to say so, was the possessor of the largest percentage of shady optics, etc., and last but not least, heads which had felt the clippers. Seniors declare that the Sophomore class tossed, or slammed, insinuating remarks in a class meeting while the Sophomores adhere to the version that the Seniors were making attempts to take the classes candy the preceding day, and because of their failure they could not help "pass-up" the occasion to give them the "hoss-laugh." Whatever may be the version that the classes adhere to here lies the bare story as the "Herald" is in pos-sion of it. On October 15, the regular chapel exercises were a scene of much discussion and enthusiasm, the University of Utah having offered the Student Body half the proceeds of the Varsity play, "The Witching Hour," which was to be presented at the Orpheum theatre on October 19, if they would take charge of the advertising and guarantee that a cer tain percentage of the Weber student body would attend the affair. In the midst of the rally, Mr. Robert Newman, president of the Senior class, sent out a challenge to the other classes of the student body when he said, "Freshmen, Sopho mores, Juniors, College, what are you going to do? Seniors, we know our step!" In an impulse the presi dent of the Sophoihores, Llewellyn McKay, made answer and class riv alry was lifted to a high level. Class spirit having developed to such a de- gree each class sought for something original that they might do while attending "The Witching Hour." The Seniors began memorizing the Uni versity of Utah school song, "A Utah Man Am I," while the Sophomore girls made candy to sell at the Orpheum theatre, the proceeds of the sale to be given towards the Gym 1920 nasium. As scandal has it, whether all were delirious, or not, they brought the candy and stored it in the kitchen during the forenoon and then moved it upstairs for it's afternoon stay. Its odor "odorized" the halls to such a degree that all were drawn "mystically" towards the room wherein it was located. It was rumored that the Seniors were after it and even to such a great degree that faculty members were stationed in the room. It happened, as time fleeted on, however, that the candy was untouched by Seniors or "gangs" and lucky the Sophomores may call themselves after setting the candy directly under the "nostrils" of the student body. That evening the Seniors sang to their hearts delight while the Sophs "peddled" candy and made the elaborate sum of $62.25. Wednesday, the fatal day, rolled around. Class meetings were in order when the Sophomores, thinking they had put something over, nobly gave the Seniors the "hoss-laugh." Spirits arose, Seniors arose, the fight arose in temperament and class meetings ended as the president (president of the class) jumped from his "pulpit" and joined in the fight. All day long it should have lasted but less than an hour was enough for the weary Sophomores. The Seniors broke ranks after victory was theirs and parted for dinner, but trouble still floated in the atmosphere. After dinner hair "clippers" were seen in the midst of groups. Our Avlin was the first victim but his disposition was so modest when he expressed himself by saying, "Just remember what was done when "Jim" had his hair "Hri-J" -n. ouuiOlo deemed it quite inessential to clip it entirely off so that we at present notice that "Abbey" or Avlin is "four-bits' poorer while his head of hair is trimmed rather high "on top." Thus the fight ended with no bad feelings and no serious injuries to students. O. H. S. WINS SECOND ANNUAL GRIDIRON CONTEST Practically Same Score Registered in Two Annual Gridiron Contests LINDSAY INTERCEPTS PASS FOR TOUCHDOWN Fighaing to the last, always alert, ready and game to the last thread, Weber's star eleven met defeat with the Ogden High School Tigers by practically the same score as was registered by the two teams last year when they clashed for the first time in a gridiron contest. The game, being the final of a double-header, was played last Saturday, November 6, at Lorin Farr park. The final count was 27-6, while the final count last year was 27-7 in favor of the Ogden lair. Last year Weber held the Ogden Tigers scoreless for three periods while Weber made the first touchdown through intercepting a forward pass on her own twenty- yard line and racing for a touch down. In Saturday s game Ogden commenced their scoring in the first period and continued such in the second and third, and failed to cross the goal line in the latter. Weber scored her only touchdown in the final period when Lindsay, star halfback, intercepted a forward pass on our own twenty-yard line and raced for a touchdown as per incident last year. Thus in some respects the two games compared favorably with each other -on certain lines. Ogden won the toss-up and chose to defend the east goal in the first period as a canyon wind was playing havoc at the time. The Tigers dis played- marked improvement over their showings in previous games from the sound of the whistle, while our big purple warriors in many in stances outplayed them, making long gains at several intervals. In the initial period of the con test which kept the hundred's of spectators on their toes throughout, the Tigers worked the ball to our NO. 15 one-yard line, where our line held like a stone wall and we recovered the ball on downs. During the next play, the ball being wet and slippery, thus making it hard to handle, considerable confusion was encountered by the Weber stars and Paetsch, Ogden tackle, blocked the attempted punt and L. Doxey recovered it behind the goal posts. Gooden kicked goal. Score: Ogden 7; Weber 0. The period ended with Weber in possession of the ball on "Hi" forty-yard line. In the second period the two teams exchanged several punts, .the Tigers finally getting the ball on the Weber twenty-yard line. During the end of the period Lindsay broke lose and raced forty-five yards around right end before being downed. "Hi" finally recovered the ball on downs and playing a variety of ball worked it to Weber's twenty-yard line where Thomas carrying the ball, raced through a broken field for the second touchdown. The play in the third period was hampered by a slow, drizzling rain. Playing straight ball, Ogden made gain after gain through our line in the first part of the period and finally succeeded in s,coring the third touchdown by the aerial route. Again the Tiger lair worked the ball to Weber's five-yard line in the final period of the quarter where they were held for downs. This time, as before, Paetsch blocked the punt while Hyland recovered the ball and carried it over the goal line for their final score of the day. The fourth quarter proved entirely different from - - cuet still determined to romp home with victory fought harder and harder. High was stopped in her attempt to score when she again resorted to the aerial route and Lindsay intercepting a pass raced eighty-yards for a touchdown. Hickman failed to kick goal. With the ball again in Weber's possession on High School's thirty-yard line, a thrilling "comeback" was staged. "Opening up" with everything they were in possession of our big purple warriors outplayed the orange and black squad. Hickman broke through the line and raced through a broken field for forty-five yards when Thomas Og-den's star quarter, playing safety, made a lucky tackle and downed him. Restoring to the aerial route and end runs in the final our purple warriors made every effort to score and when the final shot resounded, signifing that time was up the ball was in Weber's possession on High five yard line.

BT Men vol. 1
Lookbook Review
(all photos ©Brooklyn Tweed)
The Brooklyn-based knitwear designer, photographer, yarn monger and awesome-name-owner Jared Flood has released his first men's pattern collection for his company, Brooklyn Tweed, and oh my, there are no words.
It's made slightly NSFW by the exclusive use of BT's own yarns, Loft (fingering weight) and Shelter (worsted weight), available in a vast range of mossy, tweedy, natural hues (blended from no more than 11 base colours), and spun in New Hampshire from - yee-haw - USA sheep. The yarn never leaves the country until it's sold. Although I've yet to buy a skein, I know it's going to be worth every cent I convert.
Anyway, back to the patterns. Flood confesses that although he's adored knitting for years (just check out his original blog - oozing with early genius, unlike my first projects, garter stitch monstrosities) he found few patterns for men he liked - and even fewer designed by men - and more often than not had to convert women's sweaters and cardigans to flatter him. BT Men is a collection of sweaters, cardigans, scarves and hats for men featuring cables, panels and chic design that would be equally at home in the coffee shops of Brooklyn or adorning the heads and chests of those rural Wyoming farmers herding the sheep that made them. There's no super-chunky grandad ties or eccentric square vests in sight.
The patterns look uncomplicated to construct, a vital part of their charm, assisted by schematics on the last few pages that elegantly and simply describe how to put them together. Cables are narrow and tight when they appear, juxtaposing the current trend in women's knitting, and are especially apparent in fisherman sweater Squall. There's even a 'girlfriend' version of one of the turtlenecks - and we'd be very appreciative to receive one of these from a guy knitter friend.
I would have liked to have seen more variation in texture, such as a moss stitch beanie, but moss stitch is my catnip. 'Moss everything!' is my battle cry. Also, Mr Flood, socks will be a welcome addition, especially if they're as simple as the other designs look… but we'll have to wait for vol. 2 to see.
All in all, a clean, elegant, to-the-point done debut into a much-neglected area of knitting, and it's obvious flipping through the lookbook that it was heavily influenced by A. a very good photographer, and B. a man who likes to make and wear knitting. Brooklyn = best.
I'm currently saving up for yarns from Brooklyn Tweed, and my fiancé doesn't wear a lot of knitted things, sob. Have you knitted with their yarns or bought any patterns from BT Men? Leave your comments below!
