Wish I had read the reviews first. I went to Southern Living b/c I thought here I would find an authentic delicious Red Velvet Cake recipe. I'm not sure what to call what just came out of my oven, but it was certainly not red velvet cake. And I'm known for being a decent baker so it was not the cook. Don't waste your time/money with this one.
Chocolate-Red Velvet Cake Batter
This recipe goes with Chocolate-Red Velvet Layer Cake, Fluted Chocolate-Red Velvet Cakes
Yield: Makes about 7 cups

Recipe Time
Prep Time:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 (1-ounce) bottles red food coloring
- Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
- Stir together flour, cocoa, and baking soda. Add to butter mixture alternately with sour cream, beating at low speed just until blended, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in vanilla; stir in red food coloring. Use batter immediately, following baking directions for desired cake in "Pick a Pan" below.
- Pick a Pan: Chocolate-Red Velvet Cake Batter can be baked in lots of different shapes and sizes--just use these times as a guideline, and be sure to grease and flour your pans. With smaller muffin pans and molds, we found it easier to use a vegetable cooking spray with flour. Check for doneness at the minimum time range, continuing to bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Variations with added fruit and nuts will require the maximum time and yield more mini cakes.
- Bake at 325° in 1 (12-cup) tube pan for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Bake at 325° in 3 (8- x 4-inch) loaf pans for 55 to 65 minutes.
- Bake at 325° in 7 to 9 (5- x 3-inch) loaf pans for 25 to 35 minutes.
- Bake at 325° in baby Bundt pans for 25 to 30 minutes. Makes 14 to 16 baby Bundt cakes. (Spoon 1/2 cup batter in each 1-cup mold.)
- Bake at 350° in muffin pans 23 to 28 minutes. Makes 32 to 38 cupcakes.
- Bake at 350° in miniature muffin pans for 9 to 11 minutes. Makes about 9 to 10 dozen cupcakes.

New babies get all kinds of rashes and skin irritations which are harmless, but how can you tell what's what and when to call the doctor?
It can be easy to panic and, although nine times out of 10 there'll be nothing to worry about. Still, it's a good idea to know the basics of baby health and if you are worried about recurrent skin issues, you can also look up out articles about baby eczema, cradle cap and looking after your baby's skin at bathtime.
But for day to day skin rashes and irritations, check out our lowdown on common symptoms, what they might mean, and how to treat them…
Newborn rash A blotchy red rash all over your baby's body soon after she's born is nothing to worry about – it is caused by things like clothes and bedding touching your baby's skin that it isn't used to. What to do Nothing - the blotches will disappear of their own accord
Heat rash This is no cause for concern and mainly appears on your baby's head and neck as tiny red spots that join to make red splodges.What to do Nothing – it's very common as newborns adjust to the temperature outside the womb.
Hormone rash Often called 'milk rash', this has nothing to do with milk and is thought to be caused by the hormones that pass between mum and baby during labour. These stimulate your baby's oil glands, which causes little pimples.What to do Nothing – it should clear up by around three months.
Nappy rash This is the red, blotchy and sometimes spotty skin that babies often get around the nappy area. It's caused by the wetness, friction and chafing that come with wearing a nappy. What to do Change your baby as soon as you can and rub on a barrier cream, even if your baby's bottom looks fine. Once nappy rash appears, the best way to treat it is to leave the nappy off. That's not always possible, so an application of barrier cream helps.
Meningitis There are two kinds of meningitis. Viral is less serious and most people recover after a few weeks, but bacterial needs urgent attention. It often also causes meningococcal septicaemia (blood poisoning), which shows itself with a distinctive rash, with red or purple spots, that don't fade when you press a glass on them. Other symptoms are similar to colds and flu but your baby will get very sick very quickly, often in a matter of hours. Look out for fever, drowsiness, refusal to feed, vomiting, fretfulness and a stiff neck or arched back. What to do If your baby's rash doesn't disappear when you press a glass to it, go to a doctor immediately, no matter how well your baby is. There are other things it could be, but meningitis can be fatal if you miss it.
With any baby health worry, contact your GP or call NHS Direct on 0845 4647 if your baby…

Do you feel happy today? When do you feel sad?
Talk with students about feelings. Ask the class how they would define the words "happy:" and "sad" without using those words in their sentences. Use Crayola® Dry Erase Markers on a classroom white board. Accept student contributions that are close to an accurate definition. Ask classmates to assist adjusting student definitions that may need a slight adjustment.
Now ask students to pick a partner. Of the two members of the team, have the first member show a happy expression to a classmate. The second member of the team now expresses a sad face to his partner.
As a class, ask for times when students feel happy or sad. List these contributions on the white board.
Provide each student with two white paper plates and one craft stick. Ask students to create a happy facial expression and a sad facial expression, one on each paper plate. Use Crayola Crayons or markers to create each face. Glue both facial expressions to the craft stick, back-to-back. Allow to dry overnight.

beautiful and comfortable. I absolutely love this sofa. I will purchase again when needed
Sleeper Sofa
Jo from Calgary, AB– Verified Buyer
Great sleeper sofa, easy to make into a bed and comfortable.
Fashionable and Comfy
Baby from Bronx, NY– Verified Buyer
Upon reviewing the Mocha Sleeper, I did think it was more of a gold color, but once received I realized it was more of a tan, brownish color. Still nice and goes very well with the set up of my apartment. The size was perfect, especially since my apartment is quite small. As far as comfort, it does take some getting used too, due to it's size. Not a sofa you can put your head back without having to slouch. Overall, happy with purchase and would recommend to those who have small places and not big on heavy couch lounging.
Professional Workaholic's Couch...
Mike from CHESTERFIELD, MO– Verified Buyer
I work a lot, and sometimes I have to stay at the office to get things done for the next day. I am proud to say that this was a great purchase and I no longer have to look around the office for a comfy place to catch a quick nap. In the morning I just convert it back to a couch, tuck my shirt in, and then move on to the next activity. This couch uses great quality materials, builds very easily, and has received numerous compliments on how great it looks.
Better than expected
Albert from Lake Mary, FL– Verified Buyer
Item comes in two boxes: one is small and light, another is big and heavy. Two people are needed to carry the heavy box, but one person can assemble the sofa (although, having another would make it a bit easier). Assembly takes about 10-15 minutes. Hardware is hidden in a side pocket at the bottom of the sofa.
Just as advertised
Tifina from New York– Verified Buyer
The sofa is what I was looking for. The quality isn't super great, but it's ok and it is working out good for what I needed for.
Exactly what I was looking for.

Very good

As described. Good quality for the money, easy to assemble.

Step 1: Materials
-Travel Jar of your choice of color (Bought @Walmart)
- 3v to 5v dc motor from disk drive, radio shack, hobby lobby, electric sharpener, toy, etc.
-make sure it has a gear
- glue gun
- 3 to 5 v dc output adapter such as a cell phone charger.
- plastic strips for building a fan rotor.
- Tubes for water inlet and outlet, i.e. from a pen.
Drilling/cutting tools for plastic:
- drill (or some other sharp metallic tube)
- micro torch or other heat source
- scissors
I had a few questions.
1) can this be done using a larger jar Mainly to fit a larger motor and fan.
2) if so could I just use the fan blades off an old computer fan?
2) well, rectangular blades work best, but you could use the fan blades as long as they're cut off and then glued sideways like in my motor.

"She is rotting quietly under her skirts with a melancholy smile, like the odour of violets given off by a decomposing body." —
La Nausée, Jean-Paul Sartre.
(via eugenehl)
Confidence by Eric Rondepierre, 1996-1998 (from Moires series)
"The game of man and of his own rotting is perpetuated in the most dismal of conditions without the one having the courage to confront the other. It seems that we will never find ourselves faced with the grandiose image of decomposition whose risk, which intervenes at every breath, is nonetheless the very meaning of a life that we prefer, we know not why, to the life of another whose breath may survive us. We know only the negative form of this image - soaps, toothbrushes and all the pharmaceutical products we accumulate in order to escape daily, with difficulty, from filth and death. Each day we make ourselves into the docile servants of these petty fabrications, the sole gods of modern man. This servitude continues in all places where a normal being might still go. We go to an art dealer like we'd go to a pharmacist, seeking well-displayed remedies for respectable illnesses." —
Georges Bataille, L'esprit
(via minamata, krimpernicus)
Couple, passant by Eric Rondepierre, 1996-1998
From Moires series
Eric Rondepierre - From Précis de décomposition series (Scènes)
For this series, photographer Eric Rondepierre viewed fragments of forgotten silent films. Ravaged by time, dampness, and poor storage conditions, the damage and distortion was then documented for your enjoyment.
Check this out, the whole series is wonderful: Via
Eric Rondepierre, Moires series
This series of thirty pieces continues the procedure of the Précis de décomposition. Again, these are images that have become corroded over time. The frames come from colorized films in the Montreal archives. The choice centres on the body and intimacy, and the 'justified' titles relate directly to the image.
Eric Rondepierre, Précis de décomposition series ('Scènes')
Eric Rondepierre, Précis de décomposition series ('Masques')
In this series, Eric Rondepierre began to make systematic use of film archives. Working in American archives, the artist systematically viewed fragments of anonymous silent movies that had been corroded by the effects of time, damp and poor storage. He photographed the resulting anomalies (erasures, deformations, blotches). Scènes comprises 18 pieces and shows characters in action. Masques comprises eleven pieces and shows faces in close-up. In Cartons the texts of the intertitle cards of silent movies has been corroded. This series comprises thirty pieces.

Ready to Try Your Hand With These Gaming Stocks?
Jonathan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Lady Luck and Mr. Market sure haven't been kind to investors in gaming stocks over the last five years. Once the darling of Wall Street, the industry was rejected like lukewarm food from a buffet steam table.
Similarly, like many casino buffet patrons, casino operators gorged on easy money to saturate not only Las Vegas and Atlantic City, but also major metropolitan areas. Who would've thought that we'd find casinos in Philadelphia, New York City, and Cleveland?
So-called "convenience" gaming is supplanting "destination" gaming, to the detriment of traditional operators. Those with major Las Vegas exposure, such as MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM), are saddled with debt and money-losing operations. Dividends from them are out of the picture for now.
Yet at the same time, smaller companies in the industry have experienced stock price run-ups over the last month.
Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ: PENN) made waves last month when it announced plans to split into an operating company and a casino REIT named PropCo that would collect rent from the former, paying a one-time $15.40 taxable dividend - $5.35 in cash and $10.05 in REIT shares. Moving forward, the REIT will pay a generous $2.36/share dividend.
Investors have since bid up Penn's rivals, hoping that more REIT conversions are imminent and desperately seeking dividends. But UBS REIT analyst Russ Nussbaum is bearish, warning that PropCo's dependence on one tenant warrants a discounted valuation. Barron's authors Vito J. Racanelli and Kopin Tan share Nussbaum's view, with Racanelli kidding that "the U.S. Post Office, which owns mailboxes around the country, and Greece, with its beautiful islands, are both considering turning into REITs in order to save big-time on taxes" as well and Tan stating that investors' shift to REITs "will not end well."
That being said, the depressed valuations of gaming stocks may present opportunity if the companies are analyzed for what they are and not what they may become. Who are the high rollers -- whales, in industry parlance -- of secondary market gaming then, and how do they stack up?
Pinnacle Entertainment (NYSE: PNK) operates luxury casino resorts in Lake Charles, La., Baton Rouge, La., and St. Louis, Mo. Its flagship properties are the five-year old Lumiere Place in St. Louis and the seven-year old L'Auberge du Lac in Lake Charles, which serves Houston, a thriving city two hours away with no casino of its own.
Pinnacle was punished over the last few years for its costly missteps in Atlantic City, N.J., where it purchased and demolished the struggling Sands casino but, beset by a turn in the city's fortunes, ultimately opted not to rebuild. The site remains empty and is estimated to have shed 90% of its value.
Isle of Capri Casinos (NASDAQ: ISLE) is Pinnacle's only competition in Lake Charles, offering a more affordably priced option with its Isle of Capri Casino. In other news, it recently exited the crowded Biloxi, Miss. market and opened a new casino in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Initial signs are positive for this $135 million property, which took in $5.4 million in revenue in November, its first month, especially in contrast to the tepid results achieved by new properties in other states such as N.J.
Isle of Capri trades just over book value and at eight times forward earnings. It lost money in the trailing 12 months.
Ameristar Casinos (NASDAQ: ASCA) competes with Pinnacle and Penn National in the St. Louis market. It is the only stock of this group that pays a dividend, a pretty meaty 2.5%. It trades at a trailing P/E of 8.65 and a forward P/E of 9.51, a discount to the others. It doesn't seem very exciting after its recent run-up, but if it pulls back towards its 50-day or 200-day moving averages, it could be a steal.
The bottom line
Like it or not (I don't), gambling has entrenched itself in our culture enough that we've allowed the gaming industry's tentacles to creep into our backyards. It seems like the industry is here to stay and has largely matured.
Their long-term growth prospects domestically are nil, but in the near term, these companies could unlock shareholder value by splitting into operating companies and REITs.
How much more value there is to unlock remains to be determined, though. These highly leveraged companies have been on a tear this year, posting stock-price gains that range from 10% for Isle of Capri to 26% for Penn National.
Results were even better for those who bought during the summer, when all three dipped and Pinnacle and Ameristar reached 52-week lows. Keep this in mind if you do want to buy in, and enter on dips. The underlying businesses aren't going anywhere soon.

Flexor Tendon Sheath Infection of the Fingers or Hand
Flexor Tendon Sheath Infection of the Fingers or Hand
A flexor tendon sheath is the tube (sheath) covering tendons located on the palm side of the fingers and hand. An infection in this tendon sheath can be a serious problem and must be treated right away.
Injuries of the flexor tendon, such as puncture wounds, cat and dog bites, or embedded foreign bodies, can increase the risk of a flexor tendon infection. These infections can also occur when a gonorrhea infection has spread throughout the body (disseminated gonorrhea infection).
Symptoms of a flexor sheath infection can include:
Medical treatment may include rest, splinting, elevating the area, antibiotics, and surgery.

Three seniors to play final home match for Women's Tennis
Collin Boyles
GREELEY -- The end of an era awaits Northern Colorado Women's Tennis as three seniors prepare to play their final match at the Butler-Hancock Tennis Courts. UNC will host Big Sky opponent North Dakota for Senior Day at 1 p.m. on Friday, April 4.
Seniors Stephanie Catlin (Basingstoke, England), Adriana Nieto (Southlake, Texas) and Taylor Schumacher (Austin, Texas) will be graduating this May and will play their final matches at home with the Bears. The three seniors joined the UNC family during the 2010-11 season and have totaled for spring wins of 63 in singles and 66 in doubles.
"I consider these three individuals, it's kind of funny to say this but, they are my babies," Head Coach Brenda Vlasak said. "It's sad [to see them leave] but it's bittersweet because I've seen these girls grow up so much right before my very eyes.
"They've been a part of buying into our team philosophies and buying into what we're trying to build. I think those three individuals have had a huge impact on our program and for years to come because of the buy-in."
Catlin leads all current Bears in spring singles and doubles wins with 39 each. She broke out as a freshman while going 11-8 in singles play in the spring before then leading the team with 19 singles wins as a sophomore. The 19 wins helped the Bears reach the Big Sky Championship while the team made the tournament again her junior season. In her junior season, Catlin was second in team wins with 17 while also taking 18 in doubles action. This season she has totaled six singles and seven doubles wins to help the Bears to 5-2 in Big Sky play.
"It's been great having (Nieto and Schumacher) for four years," Catlin said. "It's been nice to have people that you want to hang around with. They're not just teammates, they're really good friends of mine and I'll keep in contact with them after."
Nieto burst onto the scene in 2011 while winning 12 singles and seven doubles spring matches and followed up with spring wins of six in singles and 11 in doubles. After missing last season, she has won three singles matches and eight doubles matches this year.
"This program has come a long way since when we all first got here," Nieto said. "We weren't really seen as a threat in the conference and ... every year we bring in stronger people, so it's been great to see this program change from what it was to a top four team in the conference."
Schumacher played a major role in shaping and leading this season's squad. She was able to take three singles wins during fall action in 2011 while following with a win in singles and doubles that spring. She then finished the 2012 fall season with four singles and two doubles wins. This season she has won her only two singles matches in the No. 6 spot.
"We each contributed something to the program and I think especially with Brenda," Schumacher said. "I think she's the reason why we're all here and she's built this program up. We've been following in her footsteps."
The Bears sit at 7-7 overall and 5-2 in Big Sky matches for this spring season. Since the three seniors joined UNC in 2010-11, the team's conference record has improved each season including two trips to the Big Sky Championship.

TEAMS: Colorado Avalanche, Pittsburgh Penguins
Everyday until the trade deadline we'll post a proposed Penguins trade. You can send yours in over email to email@example.com. But don't bother sending just the trade proposal. We want a detailed post with cap numbers, reasoning, etc. It should be noted that these are just ideas, these are not rumors. This trade proposal was sent in by Guilherme F. To Pittsburgh: Hejduk To Colorado : Jeffrey Hejduk adds leadership, experience, and of course, some scoring power. He'll be an UFA in the summer, and as Colorado won't make to the post season, he's one of the best choices for a rental. Hejduk's price is probably about a second round pick; and I would say Jeffrey is about that. It's better for both sides. Jeffrey won't have any space when Crosby comes back, and he's showed he can't play as a winger. He would just stay at wilkes bare untill his contract ended. And he is gettin...

A lonely vicar investigates the dark secrets of one remote island community in a strange and haunting graphic novel
A female vicar arrives on a small island to take up a new post. It is a strange opportunity: the parish is brand new, and set up by the community itself, who have built themselves a church modeled on St. Peter's Basilica. The vicar is surprised and delighted by the enthusiastic welcome she receives. The church is full day after day, and the parishioners compete for her attention. Not many are interested in discussing spiritual matters however, and as she gets to know them, the vicar becomes aware of a split in the community: a terrible secret that is not spoken of, but which plagues the island, pitting neighbor against neighbor. She hears whispers of a missing young girl whose parents died in a mysterious blaze, of secret abortions, and of a fearsome ghost. What the villagers most want is absolution, but can the Vicar Woman provide it for them? This strange and discomforting story is rendered in extraordinarily intricate and atmospheric artwork.

To what extent can an idea be unique?
Are all ideas just the combination of known principles or trial and error? Examples and peronal experiences are good as well as just opinions. This question could be expanded to any thought at all, not just ideas. If there is a thought that is almost entirely unique, there can't be any previous oppposite idea. What I mean is if an idea is the exact opposite of another it isn't really original. It just stated the opposite. If an entirely original idea can be made, how will it be formed?
I have some opinions currently, but I'm sure they'll change after your comments. Please ask me to expand or clarify if needed.

Aug 8 2013: Part 1:
While the concept of a "unique" idea is certainly hopeful and refreshing, I find myself leaning towards the statement that all ideas are the combination of known principles or trial and error. Since I have a more mathematical mind, I reflected on the concept of a "theory" in mathematics. Each theory we learn was derived from previous truths. Those truths were derived from even more archaic truths. An endless chain that leads up to the "postulate." "Postulate" is defined as "a statement which is taken to be true without proof." Well, "postulates" certainly seem like unique ideas. But, let's analyze some geometric postulates. You can only draw one line between two points. A line segment only has one midpoint. These are not original ideas at all! They can be abundantly observed in nature. For me, unique ideas are not only those unclaimed by other human beings, but those unclaimed in nature. An observation is therefore not a unique idea. Perusing through my personal experiences and readings, I cannot come across any idea I would consider "unique." About a year ago, I decided to embark on a research project studying the effect of limestone filtration in the Tiete River. At first, I was proud of my "unique idea." But, in fact, this idea was not unique at all, rather a compilation of the idea to filter, the idea to use limestone, the idea to clean rivers, the idea to experiment, etcetera.
However, for the sake of discussion, let us assume that a "unique" idea does exist. When was this idea conceived? From the moment of birth, we are constantly exposed to an influx of principles and observations and ideas. And, as human beings, we have an excellent capacity to remember. We don't easily forget moments of our lives. It is well known that a person's mind can never be completely empty. This is not the result of our tremendous intellect, but instead the sheer amount of information we have been exposed to.

Riots in Nauru on Friday: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/breaking-news/dozens-charged-after-nauru-detention-riot/story-fni0xqi3-1226682669197
According to Australia's politicians, there are only two causes to blame for the $60m worth of damage sustained by the offshore processing centre at Nauru: either it's Labour's fault. Or worse! Blame the boats (some sarcasm involved).
While the riots have clearly engaged the attention of our politicians, it seems that the conclusions drawn are completely misguided. Or as I like to put it: WRONG.
There's been suggestion that the riots became out of control due to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's announcement on Friday afternoon that all new irregular maritime arrivals will have their refugee claims processed in Papua New Guinea. There are several issues with this new policy which I will discuss later.
With the PNG issue aside, it is clear that the current offshore processing regime is failing. Just like the PM said it would in 2008 when he began the process in de-constructing the Howard Government's relic - the Pacific Solution.
So far, all attempts made at diverting irregular maritime arrival (AKA "boat people") refugee claims have not provided a solution at all. At this stage it becomes more and more clear that these bipartisan policies are "out of sight and out of mind" than anything else.
Then consider Australia's international obligations.
Just earlier last week the Prime Minister made the claim that Australia will have to make some adjustments as to how refugee claims are assessed under the Refugee Convention.
Hold up. Did Australia already a ratified signatory of the Refugee Convention? Doesn't this mean that if Australia does make those "adjustments" (Whatever they are), Australia would be making a unilaterial change to the treaty? Doesn't that fly in the face of International law?
At this stage, my analysis is rudimentary but I would think the answer is yes.
Congratulations Australia. Let us sink into this abyss of obscure backwardness as the rest of the international legal community systematically says:
There're a lot of thinkers and writers I respect, but recently I've been getting super pumped up by the work of Audre Lorde - an American, black, lesbian poet and academic who is one of the key people in Intersectionalist discourse.
One of her seminal papers is "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House", in which she discusses the racism and homophobia of conventional feminism.
Lorde's metaphor here was in terms of the idea that the opressor will use infighting among the oppressed (white women hating women of colour, heterosexuals hating homosexuals, etc) to retain their hold on power. Go google the essay and read it — it's brilliant.
A different tangent on the idea of the "Master's Tools" strikes me every time I get told off when I am ranting and raving about various forms of injustice — whether it be racism, gender discrimination, or the awful things that happen to asylum seekers because of woeful Australian government policy, an Anglo bloke 100% of the time will tell me to stop being so oversensitive or, worst of the worst, *nasty* when I rage about the perpetrators.
Yesterday's question-time was yet another demonstration of the opposition's "hard line" stance against the convention-sanctioned protection of asylum seekers who come to Australia by boat.
What came as a seldom-reported claim (and this time was no exception) from the Prime Minister that this stance is simply building fear among the Australian people.
That's right. What the Opposition was spouting about security assessments and processing was not supported by any evidence.
Whether it's from fear of employment, safety, housing or maintaining privilege; the attitude that asylum seekers are unworthy of our protection is rather over reported.
Over the last decade, activist groups including Amnesty International and the Refugee Council of Australia have been working tirelessly to put truth to these irrational fears of people fleeing persecution on the basis of how they have come to arrive here.
All that hard work is being undermined by our politicians doing what they do best, playing politics rather than contributing to representative government.
At no point was it mentioned in yesterday's question-time that the Opposition was concerned about all visa applicants on bridging visas who have yet to obtain police checks. Neither was it heard from our Government that a legitimate concern would be our entire immigration system.
The issue, paradoxically, remains restricted to the 3% of Australia's total immigration.
Constitutional recognition of Australia's First People has bipartisan support. Should we expect this to be added to the referendum question at the September 14 election?
Bigger question: how might such recognition be drafted? There have already been a number of focus groups and bipartisan committees set up to draft such an inclusion, which have failed to result in agreement.
Hopefully Parliament can come to some agreement so that what began in 1975 with the Anti-discrimination Act and climaxed with Keven Rudd's Apology can be finally completed. To include the people whom we stripped of their lands, their rights and their identities.
Sunili Govinnage: I've explained to Australia-bound asylum seekers why they shouldn't get on boats â but without options, they make their choices regardless
In the aftermath of the horrific murder of an English soldier in London last week, Islamic schools and mosques in Australia were on high alert for any acts of vandalism, and many individual Muslims, particularly women who wear the hijab, felt vulnerable to potential abuse. While the Muslim community deals with this kind of hostile environment, Paul Sheehan lost no time in adding fuel to the fire with his Islamophobic invective, "Twisting Islam to justify cruelty" (May 27).
If you're not already privy to the backlash of the recent ASIC censorship bungle, here are some of the headlines:
Quick summary: ASIC has moved to block access to websites it considers to be a threat to consumers. This move has no parliamentary or legal oversight and, unfortunately, is well within ASIC's powers.
"But how could ASIC possibly have the power to take down websites from Australian viewership without any legal loopholes. Surely, this is a right to free expression issue?" you may ask.
ASIO has made startling allegations - such as plots to kill, training soldiers or terrorists, forging documents and people smuggling - to justify the indefinite incarceration of dozens of refugees as security threats to Australia.
This is the cover of the latest issue of Time, which focuses on Millennials. They asked me to write a short piece for it, so I wrote about what my generation likes, especially as it relates to media.

Situated on the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati, Allahabad is among the holiest cities associated with Hinduism. Situated in eastern Uttar Pradesh, the city was earlier known as Prayag. It is one of the four sites where the Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years. The confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati, is also called Triveni or Sangam. It is a revered site and Hindus believe a dip in the holy water washes off sins.
The Mughal fort and tombs, British-era buildings and the monuments associated with the Nehru family are bound to interest travelers as much as the legends associated with the city.
- Be careful in the narrow lanes after dark; carry a torch along as power-cuts are very common here.
- Dress conservatively and be careful.
According to Hindu mythology, Lord Brahma chose Prayag as the place to perform Prakrista Yagna at the beginning of the creation of universe.
Legend says when Devas and Rakhasas fought for the bowl of nectar of immortality which came out after the churning of the ocean, four drops of nectar fell on earth. Kumbh Mela is held at the four places – Allahabad, Haridwar, Ujjain and Nasik – where drops of nectar fell.
The place is also mentioned in Chinese traveler Huan Tsang's travelogues. According to him, Allahabad was part of Harshavardhan's empire. Several dynasties are known to have ruled this city.
In 1575, the Moghul emperor Akbar visited Prayag and renamed the city Illahabad, which was later anglicized to Allahabad. Allahabad became the provincial capital city of the Moghuls. The city was also invaded by the Marathas.
Queen Victoria's Proclamation of 1858 by which power was transferred from East India Company to British Crown was read out by Lord Canning in Allahabad. The place is now known as Minto Park. Allahabad became the hot spot of India's freedom movement against the British rule. Allahabad played an active role during the mutiny of 1857. The city has given India most number of Prime Ministers post independence.
Fun facts
Allahabad Boat Club offers a range of water sports on the Yamuna river. There are pedal boats, kayaks, speed boats available for hire. Various water sports like waterskiing, parasailing, kayaking, canoeing, wind surfing can be enjoyed here.
Allahabad is renowned worldwide for Kumbh Mela, held every 12 years. One of the sacred Hindu festivals, thousands of pilgrims gather to take a dip at the Sangam. The festival lasts for six weeks and is held during January–February. Last Maha Kumbh was held in 2001 and the next Kumbh Mela is scheduled in 2013. Ardh (half) Kumbh Mela is held once in six years between two Purna Kumbh Melas.
Allahabd has been a seat of learning for a long time. Various dignitaries like Subhadra Kumari Chauhan and Harivansh Rai Bachchan were born here. In the 19th century, Allahabad was referred to as the 'Oxford of the East'. The city has been home to several Prime Ministers of India. Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Gulzarilal Nanda,Vishwanath Pratap Singh and Chandra Shekhar were either born in Allahabad or were alumni of Allahabad University or got elected from a constituency in Allahabad. In the early 20th century, University of Allahabad was the foremost center of learning.
The city being an important cantonment during the British Raj has some beautiful remnants of colonial architecture. In the early 20th century, University of Allahabad was the foremost center of learning in the country.
Fruits like guavas and mangoes of this city are very famous. Small brass pots containing water from river Ganga sealed with wax are found near the Sangam. These make a very good souvenir.
Where to stay
There are several options for stay in Allahabad at convenient distance from the railway station and bus depots. An economy room will cost you a minimum of Rs 1000. Air-conditioning will be required as it is generally warm throughout the peak summer months. One can also get deluxe rooms which offer transport services, and also extra facilities like swimming pools and health clubs are also available. Hotels in the city also organize trips around the city.
Where to eat
Allahabad is a modern city and finding good restaurants shouldn't be a problem. The Moghlai cuisine of Allahabad is very famous and one shouldn't miss the Mogul themed restaurants here. There are various dishes and options to satisfy your taste-buds. Loknath area of the city is a favorite spot for foodies, offering street-food and typical Ilahabadi culture. There are budget as well as mid-range restaurants available throughout the city. Most restaurants do not offer liquor on their menu. Besides, drinking alcohol in public is frowned upon, while drinking in family restaurants is not allowed at all.
Best time to visit
Best season to visit Allahabad is from October to March. This period is good for sight-seeing and participating in public celebrations. July to September are cooler compared to summers and good for leisurely vacations. Avoid April to June as it is too hot.

I work as a full-time artist in Calgary, Alberta. I enjoy creating art that depicts natural settings of the prairies, lake country and the coast. Living in the city, however, I also love depicting urban spaces – from busy street scenes, to interiors and still life. I enjoy painting and writing about art and creativity because I want to share a few key ideas with others:
First, I believe that the ability to be creative is not solely innate. It can also be learned and developed. We all have the gifts of a unique point of view, thoughts, emotions and beliefs. These gifts are what makes each person's art so special.
Second, I believe that our life experiences not only expand our capacity for creativity, but that creativity expands our capacity for life experiences. Whether we express ourselves through paint, yarn, or crayons and glue sticks, creativity helps us find our self-worth, self-acceptance & compassion. It helps us feel love and empathy, (both for ourselves and others) and to know that we belong and have a purpose.
This is why I paint – I hope you enjoy my work.

Avril Lavigne and Wilmer Valderrama are a new couple. Wow, Avril moves quickly! So much for licking her wounds. Right on the heels of a somewhat cold-hearted divorce from Deryck Whibley, Avril and swoop-in Wilmer Valderrama were spotted looking very "cozy." We did report earlier that the two seem to be hooking up but it's looking more and more so now..
more Avril, Deryck and Wilmer after the hop…
Spies for People magazine saw the two at an L.A. bar:
"Avril had her hand on his knee at one point," says an onlooker. "They looked super cozy together." The couple stayed close until leaving just after 2 a.m. There were others at the table but you could tell they only had eyes for each other," the onlooker continues. "They were whispering close the entire night, laughing and having a lot of fun."
Apparently, Whibley isn't too upset. People reports that he's been working on a new album and dating some model/designer type.

I don't buy a word of this, there is no pictures, no proof, anyone can say Avril is dating someone, but there is no reliable evidence that Avril has dated anyone mentioned in this article. Prove to me Avril has moved on with some tangible evidence. Rumors are just that, they are rumors without out proof.

The Detroit Lions took a shot with him as did the Seattle Seahawks, but it appears as though former USC wide receiver Mike Williams next stop is north of the border in Canada. According to Toronto Argonauts official team website, the Canadian Football club has signed the former first round bust to a contract that will see him play football in a different country in 2013.
There was hope that Williams would develop into a threat for the Lions when they drafted him but he never panned out and was yet another failed draft pick of the early 2000s for Detroit. One of the problems with Williams stemmed from eligibility as he was going to enter the draft a year prior to his selection by the Lions but was blocked by the NFL for being unqualified.
Williams sat out an entire year at USC and still managed to be the Lions No. 1 pick in the draft the year he came out. But the rust and lack of talent was apparent and Williams proved to be too raw to fit into the Lions terrible system.
His next big chance came from his former coach at USC when Pete Carroll signed him to a deal with the Seattle Seahawks, but Williams never panned out under his old coach either and was unemployed soon after.
So now it's on to Canada, which actually isn't the worst option for Williams. Playing for the Argonauts could afford him a chance to settle in and prove to NFL scouts one more time that he's worthy of a roster spot. But that's easier said than done and Williams has his work cut out if he plans on using his CFL stint to boost his NFL credibility.

The Great Debate
Trillion-dollar deficits are not the answer
– Diana Furchtgott-Roth, former chief economist at the U.S. Department of Labor, is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. —
On Tuesday, President Obama suggested that his new proposed spending, if adopted by Congress, would be an investment that will pay for itself.
Mr. Obama declared: "We invest in reform that will bring down the cost of health care for families, businesses, and our government." Such investments, he argued, will in the long run make the economy operate more efficiently.
Mr. Obama was optimistic about how his policy recommendations, if enacted, would play out. But the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that government spending and the deficit would grow steadily from 2012 through 2019, not only in dollars, but also as a percent of GDP.
After "bottoming out" at $658 billion in 2012—a level more than 40 percent above the highest deficit under the presidency of George W. Bush— CBO projects the deficit to reach $1.2 trillion in 2019, or 6 percent of GDP. By 2019 government spending would take up nearly a quarter of GDP, far higher than at the peak of Iraq war spending, and the highest, except 2009 and 2010, since World War II.
Mr. Obama's stimulus plan and budget are not one-time investments followed by years of reduced spending. Instead, they form a platform for spending growth that continues into the indefinite future. The vast majority of this spending is not what a well-run business or the Internal Revenue Service would count as investment—plant, equipment, and other tangible assets. Rather, most of the Obama spending would be for services.
Although Mr. Obama wants to spend and borrow more, a failed UK government's bond auction earlier this week showed that investors are not always ready to finance the debt. And there are limits to how high taxes can rise before slowing an already fragile economy.
Alternatively, is it possible for Mr. Obama to cut spending? Menus of changes in spending and taxes provided by CBO since 1978 suggest the answer is yes. The latest complete volume of Budget Options was issued in February 2007, and another is due out soon. A volume of health care options to both increase and decrease spending was published in December 2008.
CBO lists billions in savings in 10-year increments. If only politicians had the willpower to choose among them, the budget might well be balanced. Let me assure readers that if only economists were elected to Congress, the deficit would shrink soon enough. Of course, the economists might not be reelected. But politicians try to woo different interest groups by spending money, with the ultimate cost falling on generations of taxpayers.
Here are a few examples of savings calculated by CBO, all over 10-year periods.
- Social security benefits are now indexed for inflation using a formula based on wage levels rather than price levels. Changing to a price index would result in a 10-year savings of $141 billion. Gradually raising the standard retirement age, which will reach 67 in 2026, to allow for increased life expectancies would save another $86 billion.
- Changing Medicaid payments for acute care services into block grants to states, and indexing these payments for price increases and changes in population, would save $556 billion.
- CBO estimated that giving a voucher to purchase health insurance to every uninsured family within 200% of the poverty line—that's below an income of $44,000 for a family of four—would cost $65 billion, a savings of $569 billion over the Obama plan, which calls for a down payment on a universal health insurance fund of $634 billion. Double the generosity of the CBO voucher, and that's still $500 billion less in spending than the president proposed.
- Although Mr. Obama last year proposed creating a public health plan for uninsured Americans that looked like the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, CBO calculated that replacing the FEHB with a voucher program would save $70 billion.
Other savings proposed by CBO range from $105 billion over ten years from reducing Federal aid to highways, to $13 billion from selling some Tennessee Valley Authority Electric Power assets, to $11 billion to eliminate Federal grants for wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, to savings from defense and agriculture. All agencies are included.
In the name of investment, President Obama's budget would increase the deficit by $4.8 trillion over the next decade.
He could serve us taxpayers better by carefully examining each line of spending and cutting the waste, as he promised us he would do during the campaign.
Click here to read a related opinion column, "To Pay for Vital Programs, Congress Must Make Tough Choices," by Deborah Weinstein of the Coalition on Human Needs.
Typical right wing view: the way to cut spending is to slightly fleece those with less and tout it as a benefit to society in general. If we are to provide equality for all then those more fortunate at some point will be required to help those who are not. The upside of building the human capital base over 10 or 20 years–and the commensurate increase in production it will provide–will help to offset a long term deficit.
It's an unfortunate fact that the cost savings talked about in this article could have been more than covered if right wing leaders of financial institutions had acted responsibly.
When the chips fall it is not the responsibility of the have nots to sacrifice even more than haves.
The way the adminstration is "fixing" the economy will keep this country in record debt for at least 10-20 years. We should let these companies file for bankruptcy/reorganization and let the chips fall where they may. I read somewhere, I don't remember where, of a very simply way to fix this economic problem faceing the U.S. and with some modification other countries economic problems as well. See if you agree with the following solution.
1) There are approximately 40 million people out of work.
2) Give each person out of work $1 million with just 2 mandatory conditions.
First: They must pay off all of their debits…BANKING PROBLEM SOLVED, NO MORE FORECLOSURES, REAL ESTATE PRICES WILL INCREASE, NO MORE LOST EQUITY.
Second: They must buy a new American made car…WITH 40 MILLION CARS SOLD THE AUTO INDUSTRY IS BACK ON TRACK, NO MORE HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT.
Think about it. The problem can be fixed with only $40 million dollars of our tax money not the billions now being spent.
If Obama people can explain in plain simple terms to the people where the money to pay for these projects will come from, Dollar for Dollar, then it will be more clearer, but unfortunately they cant. So what we can do, press them to explain it to all the tax payers, when we spend a dollar here, that means we are taking it from here. If there is nothing in there, we will borrow from Aunt Rita. Now one of the biggest factor that seems no one touches yet, WHAT IF, the Chinese, Japanese, Europeans and Saudis demand even if they have to forfeit future income from their investments here, demand to cash out, what will happen then, WHAT IF, instead of growing the economy by 2.5 5 to 3.5% we end up having negative growth, where are we going to get the money to service these debts. How in the world a massive spending spree ends up and eventually classified as investments for the future.
What Obama's budget is doing is no more different than what created these toxic assets. He is leveraging too much, instead of spending only what we have, he is borrowing a lot to finance his dream set-up. Remember, he never run a real business so he does not have any idea how real business works. I hope and pray that at least some of the plans works otherwise, well see a sequel to the current mess. We dont need to go any further, look at the history of Japan. They injected a lot of stimulus and it work for the first few years and then when it hits back, it made the original problem worst.
At least Obama will have a lot of Bridges and Highways that no one wanted to use for they will be charging Tolls and Fees, lots of graduates that cant find job and what else, Nobel Prize for Global Climate.
Furchgott was dep't. of Labor, but dont' let this fool you–don't confuse it w/, say, the Labor party in England. Or the labor movement. She's a neocon, and the hudson inst. is as neocon. as the hoover, or worse. This is the same thing as Dick Cheney going around telling us we're going to be less safe b/c of an open dialogue instead of waterboarding.
To BOO-HOO:
I like the idea of your plan, but what about all those who do work? I want a million dollars. I do think you need to check you math though. 40 million (40,000,000) people times $1 million ($1,000,000)is really $40,000,000,000,000. that is 4000 times more than $1 trillion.
I for one am not a fan of any of the new administrations budget/tarp/stimulus plans. We can blame G.W. Bush all we want for the economic problems we have, but they have been building for at least 20 years. If it wasn't for the financial industry's unregulated derivative products that were started in the 80′s and lobbied for agressively throughout the 90′s the economic crisis would not be a tenth as bad as it is. Thank you Clinton for finally signing a bill during your last hours that deregulated that part of industry.
All these problems can be easily solved, just look at voting records and unlike this crazed neocon writer pay attention to your congressman's/president's voting records.
Easy Solution: Vote for Ron Paul in 2012, stop feeding a trash political system with 2 identical big government parties.
Stop the crying already. Not one of you out there has paid one dime yet. All of you sat on buts when Bush was spending $2,000,000,000,000.00 for a war no one wanted. Now the President who has not office for a hundred days has just taken your last dollar. The only dollars spent so far is what went to AIG. by the Bushwackers. The only way out of this is spend our way out just FDR. Tax cuts that is a joke when you are out of work how is anyone going to cut your tax when you are not paying any???????? Wake up and stop acting like a rich conservative Republican!
Global warming has to be slowing down as less energy is required by China and India et al.Baby mortalities are up,people don`t fly as before as they holiday closer to home. Less wastage from restaurants as people eat out less.Less energy being used .It all adds up to the nature of man bringing about ,albeit inadvertently,the radical diminution of his/her carbon footprint .
You cant cure the evils of overspending, deficiet spending by more overspending. Bring back the judaeo-christian ethic to Washington. I bet Mohammed would agree. John
Russell, Russell, Russell….relax a bit, take a breath, and then explain to me why you liberals get sooooo angry when anyone takes an opposing view. From the tone of your comments, it is obvious that you voted for this far-left socialist.
However, if cannot comprehend the long-term effects of Obama's borrowing, then perhaps you should actually try listening to someone who is just trying to point out fact, rather than scream and point blame. Sure, Bush did us no favors, but you need to understand that the problems we face today are the product of decades of poor choices by greed/power motivated politicians – on both sides of 'the aisle'.
The problem I have with liberals is that, no matter what happens, its always someone else's fault. Are you currently unemployed, or know someone who is? Then, good Lord, man…why haven't you called Mr Obama yet and asked him for that change he promised?
Don't hold your breath. The only "change" you will see is in the over-growth of government, an increase in taxes to cover spending, a rise in unemployment, inflation, and an increase in government control of your life.
I have a hard time believing this is being allowed, and actually encouraged, by the likes of you. Personally, I feel you will have a better chance of getting "change you can believe in" by standing on a street corner soliciting strangers.
Free Market Capitalism is the unequal distribution of wealth. Socialism is the equal distribution of poverty. Take your pick. Robinhood was either a thief or a Defender of the poor and deprived.
Fairness screws the middle class in exchange for a few more services for the lives of the less fortunate or uninspired. We are beginning to trade percieved fairness for what once was well concieved guidelines for a balanced economic system. Now we have played out our sympathies by praying upon peoples emotions and chastizing who is potrayed as unsympathetic. As a whole we have been led to believe that big business is run by a bunch of crooks when in fact the government got us here.
This problem is neither Bush's fault or Obama's fault. This is our Governments fault. They have taken us here by dividing us. This whole economic crisis is an inside job. A trade went on here that brought the economy to its knees. I call it the War for Houses Tragedy. Why is it so difficult to understand. The world operates off of inverse relationships. It was the perfect strategy to drive the economy downward in exchange for quick amounts of unsubstantiated and unsustainable cash payouts.
The same guys who are putting together the budget are the same guys who took the money from AIG, defended Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Please stop blaming business. The forces who want their money demonize them so they can get public support. Look what they did to the AIG people who recieved the retention bonuses. First the government says it okay that AIG pay them and as soon as we find out they demonize them. Business people in particular industrialists are the most honest of all types. Far more honest than big government bureaucrats. That a fact!
As I always say, "America gets what America wants!" America wanted change for changes sake and now they are going to choke on it.
TJ Johnson,
I agree with part of that but my biggest disagreement is pointing the finger at poor or uninspired people. The non-medical welfare budget is a fraction of the bailout budget which does nothing but help white-collared yuppies on Wall Street.
One of these days we'll stop pointing the finger at the less fortunate who irresponsibly take enough to get by and start pointing the finger at the very fortunate robbing and printing money until we're all deemed less fortunate.
The irresponsible are to blame. Don't have a job? Here is some money! Can't pay your house loan? Here is some money!
There is a long list of benefits, assistance, etc. for those who do not contribute and they are rewarded for their irresponsibility while the rest of us have to pay.
I am all for helping someone out, but people are taking advantage of the system, and the system creates more irresponsible individuals. I pays big to do nothing in America.
I'm sick of you conservatives who are soooo afraid of change. Do you think we didn't need change?! You just can't find enough ligitimate reasons to jab at Obama.
You're picky picky at all his ideas. Do you really think you could do a better job?
I've come to the conclusion you can not believe he's as good as he is. You would
probably have a negative comment even if he helped you! Stop bitching and give him a chance!
These are very sensible suggestions. There is nothing radical about them and they help the change in a better way. Why do liberals have to criticize anything that makes government more efficient. She is right on the money. I didn't know what party she is from and who cares. Here ideas deserves serious consideration.
by spending the government avoids the usa to go down even further. george bush squandered 1 trillion dollars to give it away to whom and for what? He should have laid the foundation for a top of the bill america. top infrastructure, top healthcare for everyone, affordable housing etc. In europe you pay maybe higher taxes but y have a pension, a healthcare system( for everyone and y are free to top of if y dnt like the basics), cars who run higher milage, gasoline prices high but nobody seems to drive one KM less. When the government balances it budget people know you can take but you have to give too..in holland the goverment increased the gasoline prices..they needed more money to pay for new programmes..people did not complain..they know if y want something y have to pay..btw what do you prefer a hihjer tax rate for which y get; basic healthcare, pension, good infrastructure or lower tax and y have to pay everyhting yourself? free choice but most of the time when your purse will be tightened what goes out first?
do the math of the net disposable income from the usa with a european country..you will be surprised..i did the same for hkg with 17pct tax rate versus holland..same earnings and in the end the same net disposable income.

O'Connor jumped next to television, at the very tail-end of the era of live TV drama in New York. Beginning in 1960 with his portrayal of the prosecutor in the Armstrong Circle Theater production of The Sacco-Vanzetti Story, he established himself on the small screen as a good, reliable character actor, who was able to melt into any role with which he was presented. Over the next decade, O'Connor worked in everything from Westerns to science fiction. He played taciturn landowners, likable aliens, enemy agents (on The Man From U.N.C.L.E., in "The Green Opal Affair"), and other character roles with equal aplomb. He also appeared in several unsold television pilots during the 1960s, including The Insider with David Janssen, and Luxury Liner starring Rory Calhoun, playing character roles; and he did a pilot of his own, Walk in the Night -- directed and co-written by Robert Altman -- in which he co-starred with Andrew Duggan. O'Connor's movie career followed quickly from his television debut, starting with appearances in three dramatic films (most notably Lonely Are the Brave) in 1961. He was one of many actors who managed to get "lost" in the sprawling 20th Century Fox production of Cleopatra, but he fared better two years later in Otto Preminger's epic-length World War II drama In Harm's Way. O'Connor, playing Commander Burke, was very visible in his handful of scenes with John Wayne and Kirk Douglas, and Preminger thought enough of the actor to mention him by name along with the other stars in the film's trailer. He had major supporting roles, serious and comedic, respectively, in such high-profile movies as Hawaii and What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?, of which the latter proved critical to his subsequent career.
O'Connor had been in demand for television roles since the early '60s. In an episode of The Outer Limits, he revealed his flexibility by playing a somewhat befuddled alien investigator from Mars, masquerading as a pawnshop owner in a seedy section of New York, and jumping from a slightly affected, carefully pronounced diction in one line to a working-class dialect and manner in the same shot (for benefit of a human onlooker in the scene). He had also given a very warm, memorable, and touching performance in "Long Live the King," an episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and producer Irwin Allen had wanted O'Connor for the role of Dr. Smith on Lost in Space early in the character's conception, when the Smith figure was thoroughly villainous. Although he didn't get the part of Dr. Smith, O'Connor later appeared in "The Lost Patrol" episode of Allen's science fiction series The Time Tunnel. He had also been up for the role of the Skipper in Sherwood Schwartz's series Gilligan's Island, a role that was finally won by Alan Hale Jr. At the end of the 1960s, while O'Connor was busying himself in movies ranging from Westerns to crime films and mysteries, including Warning Shot, Waterhole No. 3, Marlowe, and For Love of Ivy, and distinguishing himself in all of them, CBS began preparing a television series called Those Were the Days. Adapted from a British series, it dealt life from the point-of-view of Archie Bunker, a fed-up, bigoted working-class resident of New York's outer borough of Queens. The network had tried for a big name, approaching Mickey Rooney to play the part, but he turned it down, and then co-producer Bud Yorkin remembered O'Connor's blustery comic performance as General Bolt in What Did You Do in the War, Daddy? O'Connor was offered the role and accepted. He was as busy as ever with movie work, including his portrayal of a memorably boisterous and comical general in Kelly's Heroes, which was shot in Europe in 1970, and the series -- now called All in the Family -- didn't seem a likely or essential prospect for success.
Within weeks of All in the Family's premiere in January of 1971, however, O'Connor had become one of the most recognizable and popular leading men on television. O'Connor had never played more than major supporting roles in movies, so there were no feature films to license starring the new pop culture hero; but CBS did pull Walk in the Night, the unsold pilot from three years earlier, starring O'Connor as a detective in a race against time to save a man's life, and aired it with the kind of fanfare normally reserved for major feature films. From 1971 on, O'Connor never looked back: He got star billing the next year in the network television production Of Thee I Sing (1972), and got his first chance to star in a feature film in Law and Disorder, in 1974. O'Connor would play nothing but leads from then on, and command a leading man's salary, a matter that led to a contractual dispute in 1974 that resulted in the actor absenting himself from All in the Family for a series of shows before it was resolved. From then on, entire productions, such as the TV-movie adaptation of The Last Hurrah (1977), would be built around him. He also returned to the theater periodically with far less success, starring in and directing a handful of theatrical productions that seldom got good notices or lingered long on-stage. O'Connor earned four Emmy awards as Archie Bunker, a recognition of the convincing mixture of warmth and anger that he brought to the character, and such was his popularity in the role, that he was able to parlay it into a spin-off series for four seasons called Archie Bunker's Place. It seemed for a time in the 1980s that O'Connor would be forever locked into the role, until 1987 when he got the part of laconic small-town Southern police chief Bill Gillespie in the television series In the Heat of the Night. Taking over a part originated on screen by Rod Steiger, O'Connor rebuilt the character from the ground up, making Gillespie a strong-willed, yet soft-spoken, flawed, sometimes crude, even occasionally bigoted man who was learning to be better. His work in the series earned O'Connor an additional Emmy, and he eventually took over control of the production, transforming In the Heat of the Night from a routine cop show into one of the better dramatic series of its era, with police work only incidental to its content (and hardly a car chase in sight), in a run lasting through 1994. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

TALLULAH, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Board members at Madison Parish Hospital put the CEO on administrative leave earlier this month. They didn't tell the public why until today and some people have a hard time swallowing the reasons given for Scott Barrilleaux's departure.
I spoke with one former employee who says the rational the board gave for putting Scott Barrilleaux on administrative leave was unnecessary. She also said there are other employees who are not allowed to talk about the issue.
"They were actually supposed to give us an explanation within 4 or 5 days. We never received that explanation," said Julie Rinicker.
The board members finally gave Julie and everyone else the reasons for putting CEO Scott Barrilleaux on administrative leave. After a closed door meeting that lasted more than an hour they say there's an open investigation involving Barrilleaux and the Louisiana code of ethics that they didn't know about.
"That being part of the reason for his departure which was not disclosed to me and not this board, at least not in an open meeting."
Other allegations include misusing hospital funds and making costly decisions like hiring consultants that cost $26,000 for only two days of training.
Ms. Rinicker also doesn't believe the allegations.
"I don't know and I think that is why a lot of the community is a little fearful is because we have not seen anything while I was here to justify why he was put on leave," said Rinicker.
We spoke with the board president who is also the interim CEO and he says Scott Barrilleaux has until Thursday to answer the allegations.
Scott Barrilleaux was the CEO for less than ten months and he remains on administrative leave.

The young adult memoir, historical ghost story, and a contemporary satire covered here could not be more different in content, and yet they all center on teens struggling with the same thing: belief — whether it's belief in religion, belief in the supernatural, or belief (as cheesy as it sounds) in yourself.
Aaron Hartzler's "Rapture Practice" is about a teen's effort to figure out his faith. In this earnest but incomplete memoir, he describes growing up in an uber-conservative, Christian family in Kansas City where life was lived on tenterhooks: The Rapture, the assumption of true believers into Heaven, could happen any day, so you better have your soul in order. Particularly during his teenage years, Hartzler battles to balance his parents' absolute convictions with his growing uncertainty. His rebellious path to self-acceptance is riddled with clandestine movie trips, school plays and performances, hidden tapes of forbidden music, booze, and make-out sessions. His experience is both universal and unique. Part of growing up is questioning parents' values, religious or otherwise, but Hartzler had the additional burden of also wondering, "Who would I be if I wasn't hiding from them?"

SALAD-IN-A-JAR (Pinspiration)
Because I'm less than capable in the kitchen, I make a lot of salads. Like, at least one salad every day. I can toss whatever is left into the fridge into a bowl and call it a meal.
I pack my lunch for school and rock a lunch bag like it's 1998 and I'm still in fifth grade (Vera Bradley's Let's Do Lunch in Deco Daisy). Salads are notoriously difficult to bring for lunch. If you put the dressing on in the morning, the lettuce gets soggy. You could keep a bottle of dressing in the fridge, but someone will definitely steal it. Also, certain foods mooch flavor off of other foods while your salad is waiting patiently in the fridge for you to eat it.
What I Learned
- Layer Properly. The picture shows the lettuce on top, I find when you shake it, the veggies in between the top lettuce and bottom dressing prevent the lettuce from getting any dressing. And really, I only need the dressing to spice up the bland lettuce. I'm down with the other veggies without dressing. So, the lettuce should go closer to the dressing.
- Leave Room. My container is probably a little small for the size salad I like to eat (also known as an enormous salad). If you don't leave enough space, the veggies won't mix around when you shake it and you'll just be working your way through the solid layers.
- Tupperware. As shown, the original poster used a jar. But I'm not hipster enough to have jars lying around waiting for me to pack salads in them. I just used a tall tupperware container we had on hand, and it worked just fine.
Once I worked out the kinks (3 tries), Salad-In-A-Jar made my lunch hour much more delicious.
In case your wondering, the salad shown includes: Trader Joe's Sesame Ginger Dressing, green beans, cherry tomatos, a pear, white mushrooms, baby spinach and Trader Joe's frozen prepared grilled chicken.
