How can we escape politics and empower peace?
So many times our idea of how we should look at other people and our attitudes towards those people are shaped by politics. And its for political reasons that we find ourselves hating a certain people or certain part of the world. Is that really how we it should be?
We have the choice to learn about the the world ourselves and control our own mindset. This to me would seem like a good building block towards achieving peace in the world. What do you guys think?

Mar 3 2011: I think to biggest challenge would be leaving behind the mass media. We can accept it more or less but the truth is everything you see in tv/movies/advertisement is full of subliminal political messages, this happens in some countries more than others. Also, to make it "realistic," shows always include how different people are treated badly, and we shove this into ours kids's heads since their about 4. The problem is mass media makes people feel safe, and it takes away the unthinkable task of thinking for yourself, which I personally believe people are afraid to do because they would end up realizing they live in a world of fictions that range from national identity, to your own identity to language being meaningless symbols that account for 7% of what you say and all those things that would throw you into the real world where you are not always feeling warm and fuzzy cause you have rights (which are human made and given and therefor not as we call them natural, in fact they are fictions and often unfair).
Once you can get people to think for themselves, and i mean truly and deeply think for themselves about issues that can make them feel uneasy(this is where the phrase ignorance is bliss comes from, because seeing the world we leave in can be very painful), it will be obvious to them that politics should not be involved in the way they act, and once every person can act peacefully there is no other way for the world to be but peaceful.
Mar 5 2011: I completely agree with you ambar. i think most people shy away from facing issues that make them uneasy....so as a result they never really stop to think about them and tackle them head on. But until every persons puts on their game face and starts looking at themselves and begins to act for themselves rather than follow how politics are telling them to act, we wont achieve peace. You right (: thanks ambar

An anguished debate has broken out in the small New England town about how to protect the rights of responsible gun owners while preventing another massacre.
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Two days after a gunman opened fire in a Connecticut elementary school, killing 26 people, several dozen parents and children gathered in a circle at Newtown's public library to draw something positive from the town's sudden, tragic notoriety.
After several hours of anguished discussion about gun control, and of the responsibilities of parents and community members to prevent more bloodshed, Newtown United was born.
A Facebook and Twitter presence is on the way, and the group is already talking about meetings with elected officials and forming alliances with neighboring towns to push for such action as local automatic weapon bans.
"We have the benefit and the misfortune of being on the national stage right now," said Craig Mittleman, a 49-year-old father of four and an emergency physician. "In a week, everybody's going to be gone and Newtown is going to be just like Columbine, just like Virginia Tech. We're going to be on a list of towns victimized by this insanity."
The group's initial discussion took place as the emotional wounds from the massacre were still raw in this community. After 20-year-old Adam Lanza's mother was killed at their home, he drove 5 miles to Sandy Hook Elementary School, shot his way in and opened fire on staff and students, leaving 20 first-graders and six adults dead before killing himself.
More from MSN News:

Principal among victims in Conn. shooting rampage
Conn. gunman recalled as intelligent but remote
Experts say no link between Asperger's, shooting
Still, the purpose of the group is not entirely clear. More direct names like Newtown Against Guns and Act Now Newtown were rejected, and the group is also talking about simpler gestures, like building a memorial for the victims.
In Newtown, where it seems like everyone is connected in some way to Friday's massacre, an anguished debate has broken out: how to protect the rights of responsible gun owners, including hunters, while working to prevent another massacre.
Indeed, in this state with a long history of gun manufacturing but some of the strictest gun laws in the country, some residents say they are not ready to lay down their arms. Newtown itself has an active gun culture, residents say.
There is even a vocal minority that argues that if a school official had been armed, Friday's outcome might have been different.
"The gun is not the issue. If someone else there had a gun, maybe they could have stopped this," Benjamin Torres, owner of Betor Roofing in Danbury, said over breakfast at a Newtown diner. "The bad guys are going to get guns illegally anyway."
In the shooting's wake, the complexity of the issue was underscored by geography. Just up the street from Newtown's Reed Intermediate School, where volunteers had set up a grief counseling center, sits the headquarters of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, considered one of the nation's leading gun lobbies after the National Rifle Association.
New England, and specifically Connecticut, was once a center of gun-making. Colt's Patent Manufacturing Co. was founded in Hartford, and Remington, Sturm Ruger and Co., and Savage Arms all have Connecticut roots.
The subject of guns took center stage almost immediately after the shooting. A local hunting club suspended outings to avoid tormenting grieving families with the sound of gunfire.
"We thought it would be rather disrespectful considering what they're going through," said Frank Hufner, president of the Newtown Fish and Game Club, which has some 300 members who fish and hunt in the heavily forested hills surrounding Newtown's Sandy Hook neighborhood, where the eponymous school sits.
At Shooters Pistol Range, a firing range in nearby New Milford, the owner said gun owners are being given a bad name, but he largely declined to answer questions.
"I live in that town. My children went to that school. This is not a time to make news," said the range's white-bearded owner, who declined to give his name. "Holiday season is a tough time to lose someone, especially kids, and I'm not going to add to their misery."
He also said he did not trust the press to accurately portray gun enthusiasts. "Many of us are college-educated. I myself have a Masters' degree."
On Saturday afternoon at a Dick's Sporting Goods store in Danbury, shoppers milled about the hunting section.
One shopper, 19-year-old Peter Griffin from nearby Redding, said the shooting only strengthened his enthusiasm for guns because killers are more likely to go where there are no guns.
"Personally, I feel safer where there's guns. I don't want to go to any gun-free zones anymore," said Griffin, an apprentice cabinet maker who owns three guns.
Newtown-area gun businesses say sales have picked up since President Barack Obama's election, as gun owners fear a crackdown.
"It's absolutely booming right now — anything about guns. People are scared out of their wildest dreams that the FBI is going to come and knock down their doors," said Sean Eldridge, owner of Parker Gunsmithing in nearby Bethel, who specializes in repairing and restoring guns.
Len Strocchia, 46, who lives 10 houses down from the Lanzas, is no stranger to gun violence. His alma mater, Virginia Tech, was the site of a mass shooting in 2007. He also lost a high school classmate in the 1993 shooting on the Long Island Railroad in New York, which left six people dead and 19 others wounded.
"I'm disgusted that this mass murder took place with legally purchased firearms," said Strocchia, who attended the Newtown meeting with his daughter.
On Sunday, Tim Northrop, a 49-year-old Newtown resident whose next-door neighbor, Anne Marie Murphy, a mother of four, was among the teachers killed, sent letters to Connecticut's U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal and Senator-elect Chris Murphy.
"The people of your state have been assaulted and murdered. We demand that you take leadership in pursuing new gun control legislation," the letter said. "Be the leader that this country is sorely lacking. Have the courage to stand up for those kids that were murdered."

Pregnancy Hoax
Posted by The Curator on Wed Aug 27, 2014
Kevin and Becky Clark, who were hoping to adopt a child, were contacted by a woman claiming to be pregnant and hoping to find a couple to adopt it. For over a month the Clarks were in daily contact with the woman, planning the adoption, until she told them the baby was stillborn. But it turned out there was no baby. She had never been pregnant. What makes this unusual is that the hoaxer doesn't seem to have been looking for any money. Instead, she just craved attention. And it wasn't the first time she had done this. [Columbus Dispatch]

Speakerphone Pregnancy Call Terrifies Teacher
Posted by The Curator on Mon Apr 14, 2014
The video of this April Fool's Day prank, played by students at Aquinas College on their Macroeconomics professor, now has over 25 millions views on YouTube, which has to make it one of the most popular April Fool pranks this year (if not the most popular). It's nice to see that a low-budget prank by amateurs still can overshadow all the April Fool marketing efforts of the advertising professionals. The premise of the prank is that a female student receives a call on her cell phone during class. The professor has a rule that if a student has failed to turn their phone off, and it rings during class, they have to answer it in front of…

The Yankee Rubber Baby
Posted by The Curator on Thu Apr 03, 2014
The Yankee Rubber Baby was, as the name suggests, an American-made rubber baby doll. Advertisements for it appeared in many newspapers and magazines throughout the 1880s. The ads claimed the device could simulate the sound of a baby screaming or cooing happily. I'm not sure how it would have done that. Though I'm guessing there must have been some kind of air bladder that you squeezed to make a noise. But the sound certainly doesn't seem to have been as lifelike as the ads suggested. From a review in Punch (Apr 23, 1881) The Rubber Baby makes a horrid squeaky noise, is easily blown out, and then goes pop,…

Belly Ballot Baby Name Hoax
Posted by The Curator on Tue Mar 05, 2013
Belly Ballot is an internet site that helps parents name their baby by "crowdsourcing" the process. That is, it allows parents to create a shortlist of names that their friends and family can vote on. Back in January, the site announced a "Belly Branding" contest: "One lucky pregnant couple may win $5000 in exchange for letting the entire world decide their baby's name." And in mid-February it declared a winner, LA-based art teacher Natasha Hill. It posted some photos of Natasha as well as a screenshot of her facebook page. Belly Ballot told the Huffington Post that Hill was chosen from a pool of nearly…
The Woman Who Gave Birth to a Horse

The Nigerian Nation reports that a woman gave birth to a horse during a service at the World Liberation Ministry in Edo State: It was gathered that the woman whose identity was not yet known started screaming during the prayer session and began to bleed from the vagina before the horse came out. The General Overseer of the church, Evangelist Silva Wealth, said he was still amazed at what came out of the woman. He told Journalists that during prayers a revelation came that there was a woman with an issue and that something was blocking her womb. Silva said as prayers intensified, the woman started screaming and bleeding started when the object…

Mexican Woman isn't pregnant with nonuplets
Posted by The Curator on Mon Apr 30, 2012
From Mexico, last week, came news of a multiple-birth hoax. (posted by Smerk in the forum). Thirty-two-year-old Karla Vanessa Perez of Coahuila claimed she was pregnant with nonuplets (six girls and three boys) and would give birth on May 20. This was dutifully reported by Mexico's main broadcaster Televisa as well as various newspapers. She gave welfare officials some kind of ultrasound video (not clear where she got that), so her claim wasn't entirely without evidence. But when Mexican newspapers investigated, they quickly learned she wasn't pregnant. Sounds like it was her own mother who outed her. From msnbc.com: "Her mother, Francisca Castañeda, told El Diario de Coahuila that Perez has three children, ages…

Baby Yoga, or Swinging Your Kid Around Your Head
Posted by The Curator on Fri Mar 09, 2012
Infant learning and development is a field full of dubious theories, because there are so many desperate parents willing to try anything that might give their kids a slight edge-up in life. So the stage is set for Baby Yoga, aka "dynamic baby gymnastics," aka 'swinging your baby around your head.' Its practitioners claim that if you're not doing this, then you're depriving your child of an important developmental opportunity. Check out the video below which shows Elena Fokina demonstrating some Baby Yoga moves. Warning: if the sight of kids being swung energetically around might disturb you, then you probably want to skip the video. Previous videos of Baby Yoga posted on youtube have been banned…

Beyonce had her baby. Satan is on Earth.

On Jan. 11, TMZ posted a photo of the sign outside the Beulah Hill Baptist Church, which apparently bore a nice message inspired by the recent birth of Beyonce's baby: "BEYONCE HAD HER BABY. SATAN IS ON EARTH." According to TMZ, the pastor at that church told them that vandals had placed the message there, and that it had been taken down promptly. However, the pastor, Rev. Curtis Barbery, is denying he ever told TMZ this. He gave an interview to the Fayetteville Observer in which he insisted the sign hadn't been vandalized and that the photo was a fake. He said, "It's…

The Chinese Octomom
Posted by The Curator on Mon Jan 02, 2012
In China, a photography studio recently posted an advertisement online displaying examples of baby photos it had taken. The problem was that the photos showed a family of eight kids, four boys and four girls, belonging to parents who had apparently paid $160,000 to have the kids delivered by surrogate mothers. However, it's illegal for Chinese hospitals to provide surrogacy procedures. Not to mention China's one-child policy. Which makes the public display of the photos a pretty brazen flouting of the law. But are the photos real, or just a publicity stunt? The AP reports:
Beyonce Baby Bump Controversy
Posted by The Curator on Wed Oct 12, 2011
Singer Beyonce Knowles announced she was pregnant in August. But video of a recent interview with her on an Australian TV show has led to rumors that she's faking her pregnancy, because as she walked out and sat down for the interview her stomach appeared to bend and fold in a weird way. The theory is that she's wearing a prosthetic baby bump, while a surrogate mother carries the actual child. This way, Beyonce will avoid the stretch marks and discomfort of pregnancy — and she'll look fit and toned immediately after "giving birth". I think the conspiracy theorists are reaching a bit here. And Beyonce, of…

The Egg-Laying Dog of Vienna
Posted by The Curator on Mon Sep 26, 2011
Recently I read Jan Bondeson's new book, Amazing Dogs: A Cabinet of Canine Curiosities. Bondeson is one of my favorite writers because he's a master at finding incredibly obscure but truly bizarre oddities from history, and he doesn't disappoint in this book. I plan to discuss the book more in a future post, because he's collected a lot of urban legends and hoaxes concerning dogs. For instance, he reveals the story of Greyfriar's Bobby to be a hoax (LaMa has posted about this in the forum). But for now what I want to share is a story he mentions in his first chapter (page 11) about a dog that could supposedly lay eggs. He writes: …

A Fake Pregnancy Experiment
Posted by The Curator on Thu Sep 08, 2011
Here's a slightly different spin on the old fake pregnancy prank. (Reality Rule 1.1 in Hippo Eats Dwarf is "Just because a woman looks pregnant, it doesn't mean she is." As a social experiment, the Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol made one of their operatives appear to be pregnant. Then they sent her to the state fair and had her stand around in full view drinking beer. They wanted to see if anyone would say something to her about how she shouldn't drink alcohol while pregnant. They even had the woman approach strangers with her beer in hand and ask them to take photos of her drinking.…

Birth or Not
Posted by The Curator on Tue Nov 23, 2010
The Premise: A couple claims to be allowing the internet to vote on whether or not they'll have an abortion. This has been getting a lot of attention on blogs over the past few days, and by now it's been definitively proven to be a hoax. Kevin Hoffman points out what I think is the most telling piece of evidence. The couple registered the domain name birthornot.com over two months before the baby was supposedly conceived. Also, the man behind the site has been identified as Pete Arnold, who is apparently a well-known right-wing troll. So, in other words, this is just another cynical

Airbrushed Babies
Posted by The Curator on Tue Nov 17, 2009
According to The Telegraph, politicians and industry experts have been shocked (shocked!) to learn that magazines occasionally photoshop pictures of babies: The practice came to light in a BBC documentary, My Supermodel Baby. In footage of a photo shoot for the magazine, the casting director explained how the photograph of baby model Hadley Corbett, five months, was airbrushed: "We lightened his eyes and his general skin tone, smoothed out any blotches and the creases on his arms," he said. "But we want it to look natural." Honestly, this seems like a…

alright so after being on the roof with cora, she was too scared to try and maneuver her way off the way we got on because the fence is really unsafe and should net be stood on, so i had to strip down to my bra and underwear and jump off the roof into the pool without dying, which i am pretty sure was a real possibility then i had to run back and forth trying to get a fucking ladder for this bitch in basically my bra and a pair of very short shorts and it took forever and too much.
i was mostly naked for much of this story and it was weird.
now i have to wait for my clothes and hair to dry.
edit: i could really go for a glass of wine right now.
and cora promised me wine.
oupss another edit: im pretty sure i kind of fucked up my ankle jumping off the roof. it doesnt feel right.

Since 1949, it's been known officially as Zhongshan Lu, but it's better known among locals as Wai Tan (literally "Outside Beach"). Named after an old Anglo-Indian term, "bunding" (the embanking of a muddy foreshore), the Bund was old Shanghai's commercial heart, with the river on one side, the offices of the leading banks and trading houses on the other. During Shanghai's riotous heyday it was also a hectic working harbour, where anything from tiny sailing junks to ocean-going freighters unloaded under the watch of British – and later American and Japanese – warships. Everything arrived here, from silk and tea to heavy industrial machinery. Amid it all, wealthy foreigners disembarked to pick their way to one of the grand hotels through crowds of beggars, hawkers, black marketeers, shoeshine boys, overladen coolies and even funeral parties – Chinese too poor to pay for the burial of relatives would launch the bodies into the river in boxes decked in paper flowers. Today, it's the most exclusive chunk of real estate in China, with pretensions to becoming the nation's Champs-Elysées; the world's most luxurious brands have set up shop here and there are a clutch of ritzy hotels and celebrity restaurants (though if you just want to eat, rather than have a gourmet experience, choice is rather limited).

Title: Carex breviculmis R. BR. (Cyperaceae), new to the Flora of North America Authors
|Majure, Lucas - UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
|Bryson, Charles
Submitted to: Journal of Botanical Research Institute of Texas
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: August 10, 2008

Citation: Majure, L.C., Bryson, C.T. 2008. Carex breviculmis R. BR. (Cyperaceae), new to the Flora of North America. Journal of Botanical Research Institute of Texas 2:1381-1387. Interpretive Summary: Non-native weeds present a huge threat to agricultural and non-agricultural lands throughout the US. Early detection and rapid response are critical to prevent newly introduced weeds from becoming widespread and troublesome. The sedge family contains several of the most troublesome weeds worldwide, including purple nutsedge the world's worst weed. A sedge species, Carex breviculmis, was discovered new to North America at Meridian, Mississippi. This plant is considered a weed in its native range of Asia, Australia, and the Indian Subcontinent. The current distribution and threat in the US are presented in this weed alert.
Technical Abstract: Carex breviculmis, a species native to Asia, Australia, and the Indian Subcontinent, was collected early in 2007 in Lauderdale County, Mississippi, U.S.A., at two areas around the city of Meridian. Further work in the area in the spring of 2008 revealed two more locations for this species. It was not known from North America prior to this discovery. Repeated trips to these sites revealed that this species appears to be established, maintaining viable populations from year to year and could become weedy. We provide a discussion of possible means and the implications of this introduction, as well as a detailed description and illustration of the species.

SHINee releases "1000-nen, Zutto Soba ni Ite..." MV
Popular Korean male idol group SHINee is preparing to release their 6th Japanese single this December, and has revealed the music video to the title track "1000-nen, Zutto Soba ni Ite..." ahead of its release.
Nearly two weeks ago, a special trailer for the Japanese music video was released, revealing the drama plot.
The music video is a little over five minutes long, and begins with shots of the SHINee members dressed old-style suits as they wait for the bus to come. Inside Taemin's book, a photo of a family is seen.
The story continues to tell the story of a child who is very ill and in the hospital.
An additional "complete" version of the music video will be available for limited viewing online for three days starting December 7th until the 9th.
Meanwhile, SHINee will release their 6th Japanese single on December 12th.

In case anyone is wondering, Pink is still enjoying a banner year behind the mega success of her sixth full-length album The Truth About Love. She's working her way through an insane world tour that included 140 dates and she was just named Billboard's Woman of the Year. The singer took what we can only imagine is an extremely short break to make an appearance on Ellen today (September 19), where the host presented her with the most mom-like gift ever — a wine glass that can fit an entire bottle's worth of Malbec.
The host asked Pink about motherhood, what it's like to have her two-year-old daughter Willow join her on tour and why when Willow gets really mad she finds it absolutely adorable.

Some photographers love tattoos.
Some photographers don't care.
Some photographers (like me) hate photographing tattoos.
Some clients don't care.
Some clients hate having tattoos in the photos advertising their product/services.
Few clients love tattoos.
In my opinion...
... Tattoos are always distracting. Always.
... You are right -- tattoos are art; therefore, photographing a tattoo is copying
someone else's art.
... Not all glamor models have tattoos.
... Everything a model does that impacts their appearance will impact their prospects.
True dat.
Mine limit my art modeling opportunities. I don't know about Glamour.
I also do not think that every ink is for Alt either...I'm not one at all.
At least its nice to know someone is thinking and won't reject "all" models with ink because when the ink won't show it shouldn't be a factor, generally. Although mine are taking up some skin real estate. Yes, I want to be a commercial model and am going to have to do some work to find my niche, (my fun is art modeling and that is tricky too!)
King of the Hawaiin Islands? Butterfly? Kamehameha?
only if she blows me a kiss.
Ha, ha, ha ha!
wink, punker...blow!
honestly? to me, it tells me, or makes me feel like, you are a liar.
Looking lovely!! Would you have "Shaken, not stirred" on the other side?
It depends on your perspective.
Badly drawn cupcakes are art if the "artist" is five years old. Graffiti is art to some. Andy Warhol's work is art to some.
Art is supposed to communicate something special, something timeless.
The fact that tattoo removal is the fastest growing area in cosmetic surgery is proof enough that a significant proportion of tattoos are little more than graffiti that the wearer has tired of, and, in the wearer's opinion, no longer qualifies as art.
It would limit the posing options significantly. Poses from the side or the back would be off the agenda.
Ha. I like this.
Haha brilliant. I might...
They are the business of the model's customer, too.
At least somebody should tell the ladies: "You want to know how to improve your chances to aquire modelling jobs? Okay, there are a few answers to this. Most are complex but one is very plain and simple: do not have your body tattoed."
When it comes to tattoos in modelling (besides the pro fashion models' industry) you can see a huge and widening gap between supply and demand.
A majority of models seem to like getting inked - a majority of photographers prefer un-inked models. As always there are some clever people who benefit from this gap. ;-)
Photographers may curse but nobody has a right to comlain.
Passing fad?? Do you know nothing of tattoos? A. they are not even remotely a new fad. B. they are becoming more and more acceptable and common.
My near-family owns 2 tattoo shops, and have been tattooing for over 2 decades... and they are expanding and taking on new artists. I assure you, this is not a "fad"
And honestly, I don't think most people wish they could take their tattoos back unless they are stupid, and get cheap or free "art" from a non reputable tattooist, or they get someones name tattooed on them.
I have a Tibetan beaded chest plate models can wear if I want a pattern on their chest. Then it can be removed for bare unadorned skin.
Tits are distracting. Never hear many photographers whining about too many tits in pictures.
too true!
With one model, you're pretty much limited to a maximum of two tits. I've seen individual models with a way lot more tats that that.
That seems to be a popular spot for tattoos.
I have always questioned myself to which audience this positioning was intended to be.
Exactly. This, to me, is the perfect answer. Every time I see a picture of a model with a tattoo, to me, the picture becomes about the tattoo. When I see a beautiful rear-nude shot with a giant tattoo stamped on her back, I automatically feel like it's more advertisement for the tattoo than the model themselves.
^^ edit. Not necessarily. It only makes those that have tattoos marketable to either niche genres of work, or to those who want to shoot them with tattoos. It is very subjective just as peoples choice to do whatever they want with their own bodies.
Personally, I am a strong supporter of people if they want to get tattooed. It is art and self expression. However, having a lot of friends that are tattoo artists, and working as an artist who has illustrated tattoo pieces for friends before, I can tell you that getting the right artist to get your tattoo done is crucial. Just like any art, placement, composition, technique..etc. are crucial to if the tattoo looks amazing and enhances the human figure as art, or if it simply looks like something that came out of a cracker jack box.
but with that said, I also understand those who are old school and want a "blank canvas" per say. However, I think that a lot of times this is done for the wrong reasons. Companies in the commercial world for example simply don't want the models "message" on his/her tattoo to influence their brand. Others are against tattoos for various different reasons. but one thing to consider for example for those of you who are looking for models that are "blank canvases". There are products out there that are makeup that will easily cover a tattoo if you think someone fits what you want to shoot. This is just a suggestion, but try shooting with a model that is tattooed vs. not. Most often you will find a much more open minded individual that will be willing to work with you vs. not.
bottom line, do what you want with your own bodies. In the end it doesn't matter. There are plenty of people that will shoot with and without tattoos, and these days tattoos are becoming much more widely accepted than they ever have been prior. I wouldn't be surprised within the next 10-15 years if most of the corporate hold outs that make people cover their art don't care anymore too. just my .02 cents.

Years ago, we were halfway through our first meal at Chase's Daily before we realised it is a vegetarian vegetarian restaurant. Sure didn't miss the meat for all the flavours in that meal. Looking forward to my next trip to Belfast….
Chase's DailyBelfast, Maine | Contact Information
Meredith and I have wanted to visit the town of Belfast, Maine for quite awhile. With a historic downtown on the water, a number of cool shops, and a food scene that fits nicely with the rest of Midcoast Maine's top-notch restaurants, it seemed like the perfect place to spend a Sunday morning a couple of weeks ago. Belfast also has the backing of a number of our friends, some of who make the trip two hours north at least once a month… just for the food!
Whenever we hear someone raving about the food in Belfast, two places are almost always the first to be mentioned – The Lost Kitchen and Chase's Daily. Although we didn't have a chance to try the former (trust us, it's on our list), the much-talked about vegetarian brunch at the latter seemed like the perfect fit for a chilly, overcast Midcoast morning.
There are a few things that led us to believe that Chase's Daily was the perfect decision once we arrived. First, the space is fantastic – large, open, warm with hardwood floors and exposed brick walls, and full of light from the front picture windows. Second, the sheer number of people and line of customers that didn't balk at the idea of waiting half an hour to sit for breakfast. I'm pretty sure that the entire town of Belfast passes through the front doors at some point every Sunday morning. And finally, it always helps to see two people who's taste and sense about great dining you know and trust, sitting at the first table inside the door – two hours from home! Our friends from the neighborhood, Darren and Michaela, in town for a wedding, are usually spot-on about some of the best places to eat, so seeing them sitting there only reassured us that we were in for a treat.
I'll have to admit that when Meredith told me (conveniently after it was too late to turn back on our way to Belfast) that Chase's Daily was a vegetarian restaurant, I briefly paused. Meat is not a requisite in my diet, but… what is brunch without country ham, sausage, or bacon?! Should I stop at a diner on the way to get a to-go bag of breakfast meat?! Why oh why cruel world, have you forsaken me?! All of these things quickly passed through my mind, but I decided to be an adult and begrudgingly continued on my way, and a couple of hours later, stuffed to the brim with deliciousness, had completely forgotten that pig wasn't part of this happy equation.
In the typical Sunday Brunch, "treat yourself" fashion, Meredith and I ate like it was going out of style. We both ordered breakfast scrambles (with just subtly different combinations of feta, cheddar, mushrooms, onions, and kale), complete with delicious thin-sliced (almost potato chip style) home fries and grits (yes grits – not cream of wheat, or polenta, or whatever Northerners typically have), and split an order of thick sourdough french toast, because why not? Meredith even started with some chocolate milk, and before we knew it the fresh, wholesome, and very tasty ingredients of our meal had lulled us into a post-brunch stupor that we were all too happy to walk-off around town (we recommend the Veterans' Memorial pedestrian bridge across the Passaagassawaukeag, with views of Belfast from the water) before climbing back into the car for the return trip south.
Belfast, and Chase's Daily, you can bet we'll be back.

I would like to see PvP less gear based. It sounds like they are going to try to fix the problem of resilience. Nothing like trying to fight a tank and 2 healers that get a 40% bonus in damage reduction. Still sucks to get stomped by someone in full arena gear in a regular battleground. Granted I know those guys live for that kind of advantage, but maybe Arena and Rated Battlegrounds should have separate gear that only works in those areas.

Theo Epstein might be able to turn Cubs around, but job will be harder
By Gordon Wittenmyer email@example.com October 15, 2011 1:22AM
Boston Red Sox's David Ortiz hugs Theo Epstein, right, senior vice-president and general manager of the Red Sox after the Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Caridnals 3-0 in Game 4 to win the World Series at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2004. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
Updated: January 23, 2012 3:39AM
The most important chapter
in the folklore of Theo Epstein as a curse-busting kid general manager began exactly 21 days after he got the Boston Red Sox' job in 2002, and it was co-authored by the Minnesota Twins.
On Dec. 16 of that year, the Twins non-tendered injury-prone, rough-fielding slugger David Ortiz after failed attempts to trade him. They didn't want to risk what for them could have been a payroll-breaking $2.5 million arbitration ruling.
The market for Ortiz was soft, and Epstein got him for half the would-be arbitration price. The rest is Boston history that ranks with midnight rides and the Kennedys.
The Red Sox probably wouldn't have reached the playoffs in Epstein's first season without Ortiz, who emerged as an every-day force and one of the bigger power threats in the American League.
They certainly wouldn't have ended the ''Curse of the Bambino'' and won the World Series in 2004 without Ortiz, whose walk-off hits in Games 4 and 5 of the AL Championship Series against the New York Yankees sparked the Red Sox' miraculous comeback from a 3-0 deficit and got them to the Series.
He's inheriting a mess
''Everywhere I go in Boston, people come up to me and say, 'Thank you, thank you,' '' Ortiz said the next spring. ''They say, 'You broke the curse.' ''
The point isn't to discount Epstein's accomplishments in his nine seasons in Boston. He did, after all, put together a second World Series winner with a much different, younger roster in 2007.
And, to be fair, not many in baseball in December 2002 seemed to recognize the commodity suddenly bestowed on the market with Ortiz, who lingered into January with mostly minor-league/spring-invitation offers until signing with the Red Sox.
The point is that while timing isn't everything, it's often a powerful force in making history and writing legacies, if not constructing saviors.
And the timing now is nothing like 2003 in Boston as Epstein prepares to take on the dual challenge of the 2012 Cubs and the expectations created by his own mythology.
According to players, agents, rival executives and associates, Epstein — still a relative kid for this job at 37 — is as smart and shrewd as it gets in the business. And he brings confidence and a plan.
He also inherits a mess.
When he was named the Red Sox' GM, he had two 20-game winners (Derek Lowe and Pedro Martinez) returning from a 93-victory team that was building on five consecutive winning seasons.
The Cubs? They have a big-game pitcher in Matt Garza and an error-prone, strong-hitting shortstop in Starlin Castro.
The rest of it? As Garza said about anything and everything he experienced in his first season with the Cubs: ''It is what it is.''
So what's the most reasonable expectation as Epstein takes over? What it's not is a goat-buster season in 2012 or 2013.
The good and the bad
The upside is that he will be working in a division that doesn't feature the Yankees or any team that resembles the Tampa Bay Rays. Plus, division rivals are likely to lose Prince Fielder or Albert Pujols — or maybe both — this offseason.
Another upside is that the cupboard isn't bare in terms of quality people already in the front office, including widely respected interim GM Randy Bush, when he seeks to put together his staff.
On the other hand, once top prospect Brett Jackson joins the major-league roster next April, the pickings in the farm system get very slim at the higher levels. And the free-agent and trade markets for the Cubs' greatest need — starting pitching — might be nearly as slim.
And this fifth-place team has miles more ground to make up than Epstein's first-year Red Sox did, especially if he uses the
$50 million coming off the books to make the kind of swing-and-whiff signings — right-hander John Lackey (five years, $82.5 million) and outfielder Carl Crawford (seven years, $142 million) —
that plagued him in recent years
in Boston.
And non-tendered players such as Ortiz don't come around twice.
So enjoy the next few weeks and months as the Cubs' latest, greatest franchise-changer digs into the new job with reputed vision, front-office team-building and hard work.
Just leave the folk-hero stuff for the fairy tales.

Mourinho under scrutiny for dropping Casillas and Malaga defeat
12/24/12 in Soccer | KurtKingsley | 1858 respect
Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has vowed to regain his position in the first team after manager Jose Mourinho dropped him for Antonio Adan against Malaga. The decision didn't turn out to be the way Jose Mourinho was hoping for as Real Madrid lost 3-2 to Malaga.
In the aftermath of the defeat Iker Casillas refrained from rubbing it in the face of his manager, but he promised to rise from the ashes. Real Madrid fans and media were left bemused and somewhat confused by Jose Mourinho's decision to play Antonio Adan instead of the man who has been a leading figure for Real Madrid for over a decade.
The defending champions are now 16 points away from La Liga toppers Real Madrid. Iker Casillas, who is in his 14th year with Real Madrid, told reporters he accepted Jose Mourinho's decision to bench him and there was no bad air between them. Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho took the blow for defeat to Malaga and informed that the decision to bench Iker Casillas was "purely technical".
"The coach decides which team he thinks is best for each match, and you need to accept the decision, Iker Casillas told La Sexta television in an interview. "I'm not used to being a substitute, but above Iker Casillas or any player is the team. What I need to do is continue training and try to recover the confidence of the coach."
Iker Casillas, who apart from being captain of Real Madrid leads the Spanish national team as well, admitted competition with Antonio Adan will keep him on his toes.
"It is the coach who decides who plays. It will be a nice battle with Antonio. There is a healthy rivalry between us," Iker Casillas continued. "Throughout the week, I could sense that I wasn't going to play, but it's not a setback. Mourinho didn't explain anything to me. He doesn't do it when I play, nor when I don't."
After the Malaga loss Jose Mourinho stepped in front of the media to take all the blows. The former Chelsea manager told reporters that he was not going to resign as manager of the club and didn't fear losing his job at Santiago Bernabeu.
"Casillas? I have a clear conscience," Jose Mourinho was quoted by AS newspaper. "I try to choose the best team for every game."

A Room-by-Room Guide to Making Your Home Safer
How to prevent the leading causes of home injuries, from slips and falls to smoke and fires.
David Buttigieg
Slips, Trips, Falls
- Install motion sensors that will turn on lights when you approach the walkway.
- Shed light on a wide area with outdoor floodlights. (Choose halogen floodlights that can tolerate cold temperatures. Make sure porches are well lit.)
- Dead, loose tree limbs can pose a danger during windstorms. Keep trees trimmed to prevent damage to your house or yourself.
- Store gasoline outside the home.
- When grilling, use only charcoal starter fluids designed for barbecue grills. Never add fluid once the coals have been lit.
- So firefighters can find your home easily in an emergency, make sure your house number is clearly posted at the road.
- Keep ladders at least 10 feet from power lines.
- When using extension cords outside, use only those specifically marked for outdoor use.
- Install a five-foot-high fence on all four sides of a pool. Don't let water accumulate on top of a pool cover―it creates a drowning hazard.
- Designate the grilling area as a kid-free zone.

As winter weather moves into the Bluegrass, roads are getting dangerous.
Sunday night, Man O' War Blvd. was wet from the day's rain, getting slushy and slick but that wasn't stopping many cars from zooming down the road.
Many cars were also sliding up to the stop light at Sir Barton Way.
Police said there were wrecks all evening due to these slick roads.
Sleet covered Bryan Station and Hume Roads early Sunday evening when a man drove into an electrical pole.
Police said he's OK but the power line was cut in half and the roads closed.
Road crews said they've been monitoring the weather all day.
They said they weren't able to pre-treat streets because the rain would wash everything away. They said once they can put down salt it should work since temperatures won't be in the single digits like last week.
"Where it dropped down below zero, that was a challenge then and my last forecast was around 28-29 degrees low tonight so that's going to help us tremendously," said Albert Miller with Streets and Roads.
Miller said if you're driving the speed limit you're going too fast. He recommends driving about ten miles under the speed limit.

Customer Reviews
Friends who helped us set up on the maiden use were impressed with the cost as it compared to wall tents they had purchased elsewhere-also with the many neat little features that their tents don't have.
When we set the tent up for a dry run for a camping event that we will be doing later in the year, we saw that one of the Eyelets (metal ring to hold the roof pin in) over the door was missing. The hole was there but it is needing to have it to keep it strong. I am looking into get it fixed now.

Thomasville -- A month after a Thomas County deputy is critically injured on the job, his hometown community is rallying behind him.
While Deputy Chad Griffin recovers at the Shepherds Center in Atlanta, the folks back home want him to know they support him, both emotionally and financially.
The doctors in the emergency room at Archbold Hospital share a bond with emergency responders. Often they work together in the same life or death situations.
No one in the emergency room expected that soon they'd have to provide care for a first responder himself. But after an accident here on Georgia Highway 122, early Christmas morning, that's exactly what happened.
Deputy Chad Griffin was transporting a prisoner when his patrol car struck a horse that was loose in the road. Griffin was partially paralyzed. "It's a stressful time when a family member is injured and that's kind of how we felt when Chad got injured," said Emergency Physician Dr. Arch McNeill.
At Archbold they did emergency surgery. When he was stable enough he was transferred to Atlanta. "It's a spinal cord, spine, and head trauma center. It's all they do. It's a great place," says Thomas County Sheriff's Investigator Jason Carroll.
Griffin is recovering, slowly but surely. "While he's been at Shepherd Center, he's been able to move both legs up and down, side to side," Carroll says.
Workman's Compensation will cover Griffin's medical care, but other costs for the family are piling up. Back home, his good friends wanted to help. "We donated $1000 directly to his family," says McNeill.
The ER docs are challenging doctors in other areas of the hospital to beat their contribution. They're hoping everyone who hears about Griffin will do what they can to help.
Donations can be made to the Chad Griffin Fund at Rose City Federal Credit Union at 229-228-9826, or call the Thomas County Sheriff's Office to help.
There will also be a benefit dinner to help the Griffin's on February 9th. For tickets, again call the Thomas County Sheriff's Office. That number is 229-225-3300.

Another reason to cut back on meals and shed some pounds.
Researchers in Denmark studied almost 50,000 couples over six years to see which couples were successful at getting pregnant. They found the chances of a couple having to wait over a year to conceive were up to four times higher if both partners were overweight not obese just overweight.
The study authors say in a world where obesity is becoming an epidemic, this could influence population levels in the future.

Recent years had seen Whitney less in the public eye, following her 2007 divorce. She released a comeback album in 2009 that topped the charts and went platinum, and she publicly proclaimed that she was winning her battle with drugs. Her voice had been badly damaged by the years of abuse, however, and she would later return to rehab.
Her death at the age of 48 has sent shockwaves through the music world, with stars paying tribute. Soul legend Aretha Franklin - Houston's godmother - said that the news was "stunning and unbelievable." Former husband Brown, currently performing with a reuinted New Edition, paid an emotional on-stage tribute, saying: "I would like to say, I love you Whitney. The hardest thing for me to do is to come on this stage."
Grammy Award show producers have confirmed that the show will be substantially changed to pay tribute to Houston, with singers Jennifer Hudson and Chaka Khan performing in her honour.
What sad new's How you died Whitney doesn't matter , what does matter is what you left us with and what an insperation you were to so many people through your movies and your music . you had a job to do and you did it well and now you rest . for those of us who loved you we will never forget you and you will live on forever in all of us .
R.I.P. pretty lady.
And THANK'S FOR THE MEMORIES
@ Someone: I think you missed the point of what I was trying to say. Every human life has a value, whether they are a homeless crack addict or an entertainer. I am not excusing her drug use- as I said, no one is going to deny that the drugs badly impacted her voice and her body. I also agree with you: I'm sure that her habit must have negatively affected her relationship with others, including her daughter. Her drug use put her in a negative light in the public eye- if it didn't, no one would be making references to crack in their current commentary. The underlying message of my past post was that people should not be making sarcastic comments about the fact that she has died, or making light of her death- it's not right. She's a person, regardless of her history. We all make mistakes and poor choices, but that doesn't decrease the intrinsic value of our lives. Whitney loved, and she was loved. I don't think other people realize that if their loved one had died, they would not appreciate it if others were crassly referring to dark periods in the dead person's life.
I only highlighted that poster's mistakes because he/she decided to take it upon himself/herself to mock others when he/she couldn't even proofread his/her own post.
You asked whether people's comments would be posted if Whitney was living on the streets, addicted to crack, and if she could not sing. In other words, would people comment if it was a homeless drug addicted individual who had died? I think a better question to ask is if our media outlets would even report it, which is another topic altogether. Thousands of tragedies happen everyday, and we have no knowledge about them.
I'm afraid your post is riddled with grammatical and spelling mistakes. In fact, you would express yourself much better with some revision of the post- there are a lot of sentence fragments and missing question marks. Your spelling errors include "addiction", "naturally", and "her".
A sadness that will shock many fans, friend's and her family. God has a beautiful Angel to sing in his garden. No one has a right to judge her for any reason why she lived or why she died. She will be missed by million's Sleep peacefully Whitney. I am saddened by this and my prayer's are certainly out to her family.God be with you at your time of sorrow.
no one has yet said this and im sure ill get backlash from this but here goes... when Whitney Houston got involved with Bobby Brown that was the ending of her greatness... his influence and the exposure of drugs were right there for her to taste and somehow started to enjoy and party hard with him... im sure he's emotional about her death but he should ask god's forgiveness for influencing her that way and leading her down a dark dark road that is always hard to recover from... I hope U R Happy with Yourself Bobby... this never should have been..
Whitney, God made you into a Super Star and your light is now shining for the entire world to see. Your voice and songs have brought me through broken relationships, crushes - ("there's a boy I know"), happy moments of dreams, aspirations, love and youth; your legacy will live on…..In the words of the late great legend, Bob Marley.... "I know a place where we can carry on". You are in that place now….so carry on my soul sister, carry on…My thoughts are with your grieving family and close friends…I will pray for them
Taylor Swift uses her performance time during the Grammys to take a verbal jab at harry Styles.
