Len Graham
Dear Colleagues and Injection Molding Industry Professionals,
This letter is to announce that I have accepted a permanent position as Business Unit Leader for Berry Plastics' Mold Manufacturing (BPM) Division in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. The Buffalo Grove campus housed North American Headquarters for Rexam Healthcare's C&C division, which is now also owned by Berry Plastics. Eight molding/manufacturing plants plus BPM are included worldwide as added to Berry Plastics from the purchase of C&C from Rexam Healthcare.
For those of you that are not aware, the campus was previously owned by Precise Technologies and started business as Courtesy Mold.
My position at BPM began June 2, 2014. Len Graham Consulting has been dissolved as a business as of May 2012 and it has ceased functioning as a business.
I want to thank everyone for the support and well wishes I have received since accepting this new and exciting position. I also want to thank all of my Len Graham Consulting customers, some of whom were there at the beginning in early 2004.
Many of you are aware of and supported the Super Cell project I initiated, but was never able to complete in Arizona. You may also be aware that Rexam had initiated cell 1 of 5 cells that would have eventually become the Mega-Cell. This venture has been the subject of many industry articles published last year and continue as of this writing. Berry Plastics has embrased the continuation of this project. There will be updates published in at minimum the same industry periodicals which have followed it to this point i.e.: Plastics News, Moldmaking Technology Magazine, Modern Machine Shop, Cutting Tool Engineering, and EDM Today.
For those not aware of the details, we are operating within nearly 100,000 square feet of the larger facility on campus in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. We intend to not only automate the manufacture of mold inserts and electrodes, but manufacture mold bases in a palletized, associated fashion, as well. Once again, since this is blazing new trails, it will not happen overnight, but we have an aggressive BPM team already working on the finishing details after initiating the first stages of the concept I have given them. Plastics News visited on March 8th, 2012 to gather the details surrounding this exciting new concept which will leapfrog my Super-Cell project. The April issue carries the breakout story. There are various videos on You-Tube as well, under Rexam Mold Manufacturing. Del-Cam, Makino, Mitsubishi, Agie Charmilles Technologies, Zeiss, Tri-State Machinery, and Systems 3R are the initial automation suppliers.
Some of you are aware of the work I was involved in with Omega Plastics in Clinton Township, MI. That is where the Omega team and I have automated the manufacture of prototype and low cavitation mold tooling. Omega and BPM have adopted the same style of associated mold design, machine programming, manufacturing, and inspection in a team style of operations. All data is associated to the ADP-MI pallet-mounted Gage Ball found on my web site (though no longer available, the process surrounding it can still be reviewed there), and in-process certification of all components.
Therefore, Omega and BPM are ready and willing to offer any OEM or other mold/molding/value added customer who may be interested in utilizing a synergistic prototype/manufacturing team to help them make a seamless transition from prototype/developmental mold tooling/molded components to full production tooling qualified to production status in a more rapid, concurrent fashion. Anyone interested in improving speed to market can contact Chris Buch 586-954-2100 ext 2825 at Omega Plastics or Jeff Barhoff 978-906-1127 at BPM for the details.
All production/manufacturing services offered by Berry Plastics are now available to any OEM/customer requiring any of those services.
For those seeking only production mold tooling or production mold tooling along with molding/value added operations can contact either Jeff for mold tooling or Mark Howell 847-325-3101 in Buffalo Grove for complete/partial molding programs including any contract manufacturing needs. My contact number is 847-325-3054.
Thank you all for past and future support for my efforts.
I look forward to working with many of you in the future at BPM.
Sincerely, Len Graham

Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people.
Unlike most of the party games you've played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.
The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card.
And it is distributed under a Creative Commons license, meaning it is not only free to play, but remixing, and changing the game are more than just encouraged.
The official hard copy has been sold out for a while now, but a PDF of all the cards, and instructions distributed by the creators for making your own deck can be found here.
You're welcome, and enjoy!
Scott brought this home today. You can answer every subject card with Kanye West.
I do own this. From the cards, it looks much better than apples to apples could ever be.
I would like this.
This is perfect.
It sounds like Apples to Apples actually. At least the way my friends and I play it

Where will Chad Ochocinco end up?
|06.10.12 at 7:41 pm ET
It's been three days since we were all sucked into the Chad Ochocinco Nexus for a breathless eight hours or so. (Is he staying? Was he cut? How did his eye appointment end up?) Since he said goodbye to Foxboro, reports say he's secured a tryout with the Dolphins for this week — which, if he lands on South Beach, would certainly make this year's "Hard Knocks" more interesting.
In addition, our friends at Bovada have put together odds on his potential landing spots, with the Dolphins the favorites at 3/1. Here are the rest of the odds:
Cowboys: 4/1
Jaguars: 11/2
Rams: 11/2
Eagles: 13/2
Bills: 7/1
Ravens: 8/1
Texans: 8/1
Not On Roster Week 1: 5/1
For what it's worth, six of the eight teams on this list play the Patriots in 2012, so oddsmakers believe there's more than a passing chance that Ochocinco will face his old mates this upcoming season.

As he sees it, if any beings from outer space are smart enough to travel through the universe and run into us, they may be smart enough to take over the Earth.
He landed in my back yard one night last week as I was taking out the trash.
"Greetings, Earthling," he said as he hopped out of his flying saucer. "This is Earth, right?"
This is the place, I said. How, in all the limitless reaches of space, did you find us?
"No problem. I just typed the address 'Earth' into my GPS."
You have a GPS?
"Galactic Positioning System, it's great. Used to be I'd have to stop at every solar system and ask directions."
Now aren't you supposed to say "Take me to your leader"?
"No need. I see one of them sitting right over there."
My leader? Where?
"Over there, the large, shiny being with the metallic skin."
That's not my leader. That's my car.
"Don't try to fool me. We've observed how you two-legged creatures continually serve these stronger beings, which cruise in mighty herds alone the pathways you built for them. You go to great lengths to provide their food. We've even seen you washing them, proof of your subservient position."
How does that prove anything?
"Well, has your car ever washed you? I rest my case."
OK. So what did you come to Earth for?
"The usual thing: We're hostile invaders from dying planet, seeking a vulnerable world to colonize, a place where we can kill all who resist us and enslave the rest, a world where we reign supreme and make you our miserable, crawling servants. Oh, and we're also looking for some waterfront property. Any problem with that?"

Clothing Care Question from a Mom in Need
My son had an ink pen in his jeans and it leaked. Is there hope? You are so kind to offer help and I thank you.
From the Clothing Doctor:
The type of ink can vary. It could be ballpoint or water based. The first responds mostly to ink removers with solvent or an oily base and, the second respond only to water-based stain removers. I have a few questions to ask so I can guide you properly:

Stains on Tablecloths
Most of the tablecloths that we use at home are made from linen, while many banquet cloths are made from synthetic blends. But it is the linen tablecloths that I wish to address – both new and heirloom. Myth Most stains come out of linen tablecloths when they are washed at home. If the cloth

Salvation: What You Can Do
As I said before, when you get home, inspect your clothing under bright light and, if the clothing is washable, then you have choices. Zout, Spray & Wash and Oxi Clean and other products like these do have their place. Read the fine print, test an area, and go for it. Zout and Spray & Wash are particularly affective on lipstick and excellent for coffee, soda and other drink spills.

Practical Steps to Surviving a Stain Emergency
What can you do if you have a spill or a stain in a social situation or on your way to a business meeting or an interview? What can be done, safely, without harming your clothing?
You're in the car, at lunch, or at an "attitude adjustment" gathering before a meeting, standing in a group having a drink and eating finger foods, and suddenly part of an appetizer or a drink spills on your clothing. Typically, you would look around to see if anyone saw your faux pas. After you regroup, you may put the rest of the tasty tidbit in your mouth to free up a hand, look for some water in which to dip your napkin, and then rub the stain until it comes out. Sound familiar? Men do this with their silk ties and don't give it a second thought.

What, My Garment is Ruined?
"I put water on a napkin and rubbed the stain." When you do that, you rough up the fabric, dull the dye, and break hundreds of fibers. "But I spilled pizza sauce on my blouse during lunch and I had to go back to work." Just blot it with a dry white napkin and live

Stains 101 – What Makes Up a Stain
Good Question! Most stains come in two major varieties: "Water-Based and Oil-Based."
Water-based stains are drink spills of all kinds, sugar sprays from fruits and goodies, and anything else that is made of mostly water.
- Published in Stain Emergencies
Understanding the Challenges
Fine fabrics present the greatest challenge. Each stain needs to be treated and removed from the cuffs, linings, and outer shells of our clothing, one spot at a time. Large splashes can be difficult, but splatters require even more skill and attention.

My Stain Philosophy
If you get a stain on your clothing, you can apply a myriad of "miracle" removers that are available on late-night TV, in grocery stores, and hawked in magazines. Everyone has their own special remedy, some of which have been handed down from generation to generation. And I'm ok with many of these, but with

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 614 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by linda95 Staff There were 2 staff members who stood out above the rest -- Prince, from the consiergne desk and Jane, the cleaning lady on the 3rd floor. Please convey my commendation to them for jobs well done. A gentleman in valet parking, unfortunately do not remember his name, was also outstanding. April 19, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ssgca Converted Motel This should cannot be classified as a hotel. From the decor, to the loud in-room a/c to the non-existent sound-proofing, this is certainly not a hotel. I would not stay here unless you want to stay in the heart of the Fisherman's Wharf area or no other options are available. October 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jacks Would stay here again Rooms are small, but clean and nicely decorated. Excellent customer service. Great location. Husband used the fitness center and said they were very good. Didn't get to use it, but outside seating with fire 'pit' looked very relaxing and fun. Only draw back was street noise. April 7, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 Noisy Room I was first assigned the room that was not made. Then I was put in the room next to Bus Depot. It was noisy. You should at least provide ear plugs without me having to call guest services. If I knew of the noise, I would rather wait for room service to clean the first room. June 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by baxter123 First time to San Francisco This hotel exceedd my expectations. Staff was friendly and accomodating. Checking in early and having a late check out was no problem. The room was comfortable, clean, and roomy for the three of us. Within walkig distance of so many great things to see and do. Thanks!! November 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MarkSanDiego Great Price, Prime Location The hotel is located just a couple of blocks from Fishermans Wharf and is a nice place to stay. It is by far no resort but it meets the needs for what you need. The parking is very expensive but you can shop around and find parking at half the price just two blocks away. January 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Travis76 Fishermans Wharf Sheraton Overall good experience, although the cost of parking the vehicle is the most that I have ever paid in my frequent travels around the country. Room was clean, but bathroom was extremely small and not updated. Staff was very friendly, particularly the concierge. July 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jinty56 Location and Comfort The location of this hotel was great in terms of access to the Fisherman's Wharf and other areas near the water. Also the beds at this hotel were incredibly comfortable. Being there on Halloween was fun--the Haunted house set up by the staff was great fun. November 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BoomBoom80 Great stay at a fabulous location! I am a Bay Area resident and former SF resident from 1991 to 2001. I arranged to meet my daughters in the city for dinner in North Beach last Saturday and decided on a whim to play tourist and see what has changed since I moved out of SF. I used some of my accrued Starwood Preferred Guest Points to book a standard room a couple of days before my visit. Upon checking in I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was upgraded to a beautiful top floor Executive Room...very modern and superb views of Coit Tower and Transamerica Tower. The welcome I received as a Gold 3 Star Elite member was much appreciated and the 4 pm late check out and 15 % discount on food service was a plus as well. I love this location and my girlfriend and me enjoyed a very pleasant and luxurious stay in the sweet sleep bed and awesome room. The only draw- back is the $44 overnight parking fee. My suggestion is to take public transportation and leave your car home! Thank you again for a terrific reminder of why San Francisco is such a world class destination!! September 12, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by UnfulfilledSPGmember Worst experience ever I had the worst experience with this hotel. The hotel kept changing my reservation to someone else with the same name even though I booked it online with my SPG number. I will never stay here again and will recommend against this hotel to everyone I know. September 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by smitty72 great locatio/great staff we were greeted well and all of our requests were granted. staff is very friendly and helpful.location neat the wharf was great. only draw back was the 70.00 dollar cab ride from the airport. We were not told about the shuttle service. enjoyed very much October 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lhou Hotel has good location. Close to everything. Only parking was expensive, should be free to guests April 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cos23 Location, Location, Location Title says it all. To be fair, my stay was made very comfortible by a great staff, Would stay again. The front desk agent named Sandy was possibly the best I've ever encountered. After traveling over 190 nights per year, that's a bold statement. November 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by suraymo Accessible We stayed in room1636 (quiet), a handicap-accessible room with a roll-in shower. Lowered closet bars and low light switches, very rare. Grab bars are not towel racks tho! Very clean & staff very friendly. Hotel food is wildly overpriced. May 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cutie2014 5 stars hotel and great location My stay at the Sheraton Fisherman Wharf was such a rewarding experience. The hotel was beautiful, the staffs were very friendly and helpful. April 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Familyplustoddler Fishermans wharf Sheraton We waited 20 minutes to be checked in. There was a mix up between central reservations and the hotel. CR was blamed and we were told nothing could be done. I asked to speak to a manager. The representative said the only way we could get the room we needed was to kick someone out of their room, "did I want her to do that?" I asked if a manager could come out and help. The rep went in the back and came back saying " he said to give you an accessible room," the manager never came out. She was rude and indignant. Sheraton boasts renovated rooms but room 1625 at the Sheraton fishermans wharf clearly was not one of them. It still has cottage cheese ceilings. The room also has a crack in the sink. The room is next to a road with a bus line but this was not near as loud as the elevator that could be heard even though it was out in the lobby. There was also a 3 foot section of ceiling that was about to fall, inside the lobby. When we checked out, we had to wait ten minutes in line again. The valets and concession person were very nice and helpful. This room was not worth a third of the price paid. February 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 4traveler Customer Service The connoisseur (Jay Jay) was a great help and a very friendly person to work with. He is one of the main reasons I would recommend this hotel. the location is very convenient to many attractions. We walked almost everywhere November 2, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Barry58 Pathetic Noisy. I would never recommend this sad excuse for a hotel to anyone. The room was incredibly noisy. I was unable to sleep. I am not sure if I will ever use a Sheraton facility again. I definitely would not recommend it. November 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by ccccccc Below Expectations The beds are very small and when we pulled back the sheets there were 'suspicious' looking wet spots. Further the staff was not clear about the parking or check out procedures at the time of check in even though I asked. April 20, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by saurabh311 Pathetic Internet Connectivity Hotel is at a prime location, actually it couldn't be better if like Fisherman's Wharf area. Everything is walking distance. Rooms are small but good. My biggest problem was internet connectivity. I was on a business trip and had taken a special rate which included high speed internet connection. Sadly the speed was around 100kbps which probably was acceptable 15 years ago! After my repeated request, hotel finally acknowledged the problem but did nothing to resolve it. They said it is managed by some third party, but hotel cannot shy away from the responsibility when it is offered as its own product to the guests. This situation caused me a lot of problem, I missed few video calls, and eventually had to rush to get a new mobile device for 3G connectivity. It was inconvenient as an international traveler. I paid higher rate for internet connectivity and then had to shell out extra money to get my own connectivity. Hotel didn't bother to check with me or even apologize. So if your trip requires even little bit of internet connectivity at the hotel (either a conference or business work) just avoid this hotel. Otherwise it is a nice place to stay. March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CaroleinMD Beautiful hotel in a very good location This hotel is an easy walk to Fisherman's Wharf. I liked the decor, and Starwood properties are always reliably comfortable, well appointed and clean. I enjoyed the hotel and wish we had more time there to enjoy it. November 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by irma56 Home away from home The Sheraton has been my home away from home. When traveling to my office in San Francisco, I have always stayed here. Clean, professional and friendly staff! I will miss my Sheraton family since I am retiring. January 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bill51 good facility the coincerigne were very helpful in telling me how to get around San Frnsico and the other sites I need to go to and the Bus pass. Also in getting to Bart so I could get to the airport. Staff was very helpful. February 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy5 Definite Pick The hotel is perfectly located to all activities in SF. April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SIW713 Its the little things When we checked in and advised that it was our granddaugther's birthday the front desk clerk was so sweet to send up some chocolate covered strawberries. As I said its the little things that are remembered. January 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MAwestcoast Perfect location to Fisherman's Wharf Perfect location to Fisherman's Wharf with a 2-3 minute walk. I was there on business so great location to everything. Cool outside environment with outdoor fire pits. Fun hotel that I would stay at again. May 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KennyMike Exceptional staff Exceptional staff. Their efforts upgrades the property from a three star to a four star hotel. April 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by hlbneto Good hotel Hotel is good but rooms need more facilities like a refrigerator and a microwave oven, at least. Parking is very expensive although the price paid to the hotel. Wi-fi access should be free too. June 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by happyhiker Convenient and Comfy I enjoyed the ambience of the Sheraton, the convenience to everything in San Fran, the variety of services, the view out the window, and windows that opened. It was a deal at the price. November 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kstempe Staff The staff were very helpful, especially one girl that checked us in. Whether it was directions, suggestions of places to go or getting our room. Everyone was very friendly and helpful October 14, 2013

|Born: Aug 21, 1985 - Sicklerville, NJ United States
|College: Iowa
|Experience: 6 years
|Draft: 2009 - Round 3, Pick #1 (65 overall)
The best fantasy player on the Titans probably can't be trusted in Week 1. Ben Valentine looks at Bishop Sankey and the rest of the Titans.
Chris Johnson is 50 yards away from his sixth-straight 1,000-yard season, but fantasy owners might be more intrigued by the running back in the other huddle. Matt Lutovsky breaks down the Texans and Titans.
Andrew Luck is coming off a clunker, and Tennessee is tough on quarterbacks. Should you start Luck? Bill Bender previews Colts-Titans.
Can fantasy owners trust CJ2K in Week 10? Ben Valentine looks at that and more in this week's Jaguars-Titans matchup.
Aaron Rodgers' injury leaves fantasy owners in a tough spot. But as Ben Valentine explains, there are some interesting replacement options on the waiver wire.
Matt Lutovsky looks at the key Week 2 game-time decisions, including Atlanta's Julio Jones and Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald.
Vinnie Iyer recaps the relocation of a few key free agents this offseason, including Mike Wallace's move to Miami.
Chris Johnson might be the only Tennessee player drafted in the first eight rounds of your fantasy draft. Is there any reason to pay attention to the rest of the Titans? Matt Lutovsky breaks down the Titans' fantasy prospects.
Chris Johnson drew the ire of fantasy football owners last year, but Matt Lutovsky says he's still the best bet among Tennessee's inconsistent offensive performers.
A lot of players switched teams in the first wave of free agency. Vinnie Iyer debates some of the moves, including just how good Mike Wallace will be with Miami.
Reggie Bush may not have met the hype he generated coming out of USC, but Craig Williams says he can be a difference-maker for fantasy teams as a member of the Detroit Lions.
Ladd Biro looks back at the 2012 fantasy season with his annual awards column. How much hardware did Alfred Morris pick up?
Before providing owners who are still playing with everything they need to know going into Week 17, Ladd Biro looks back at what was the championship round in most fantasy leagues.
With the risk of limited playing time Sunday, should fantasy football owners start Atlanta's Matt Ryan? Vinnie Iyer makes the tough calls in the season's final edition of the Decider.
C.J. Spiller started the season with a bang against the Jets, and Matt Lutovsky says he'll likely end it that way, too. Get the lowdown on this AFC East matchup.
Neither the Chargers nor the Jets will be winning a championship this season. But that doesn't mean they can't help you win yours. Ben Valentine previews this AFC matchup.
Seattle's Russell Wilson was the toast of Week 15 for the high-scoring Seahawks, but Bill Bender isn't sure Wilson is fit for a start in Week 16. Find out why in our Week 16 Rankings.
Chris Johnson and the Titans D/ST came through for fantasy owners Monday night, but did anyone else? Brad Pinkerton recaps the fantasy football action from Jets-Titans.
The ground game figures to be a big part of the Jets-Titans Monday night showdown. Ben Valentine breaks down which players are likely to stand out.
Vinnie Iyer reflects on popular draft-day strategies involving top RBs and QBs before dishing out his Week 15 start/sit picks. Can you trust rookie Andrew Luck in the fantasy football playoffs?

Congress has betrayed Seemandhra people, says Modi
On a day when the Telangana bill was moved in the Lok Sabha, BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi Tuesday accused the Congress of betraying the Seemandhra people by planning to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh without addressing their concerns.
"The Congress is playing politics with Andhra Pradesh by pitting its people against each other. Its leaders are not ready to directly talk to the Seemandhra people," Modi said at a rally here, about 260 km from Bangalore.
"I never thought the Congress and its UPA government would play politics with a burning issue so badly for the sake of votes."
Addressing about 75,000 people at the "Bharat Gellisi" (Make India Win) rally organised by the state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in this textile town, Modi said the Congress was hell bent on dividing the state without taking the Seemandhra people into confidence.
"Instead of standing by the Seemandhra people and applying balm on their wounded hearts, the Congress has been playing with their feelings and sufferings," he said.
"Why are its party president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi not going to Seemandhra and meeting its people? They both are insensitive to the people," Modi said during his 45-minute speech in Hindi.
Clarifying that the BJP was not opposed to a Telangana state but wanted the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government to first address the grievances of the Seemandhra people, the Gujarat chief minister said the safety and welfare of the people were paramount.
"In meeting the Telangana demand, we cannot do injustice to the Seemandhra people who feel let down by their own government now."
Modi said, "The Congress should not forget that it was because of the people of Andhra Pradesh, the UPA could form the government again in 2009. They did not vote the Congress to divide them in such a undemocratic manner."

I will like for the document to cover business Associates as well as Personal relationships that may pose as Financial and Disparaging hinderance that could affect business day-to-day business dealings or profit from by association.
Non-compete contracts are difficult to enforce in Indiana. Any non-compete contract must be narrow in scope, time and geographical area. Non disclosure agreements are easier to enforce. More information is needed about the nature of your business and what activities you desire to remain confidential. You should contact an attorney to discuss those details- and then he/she can properly advise you as to how you can accomplish your goal.
It sounds like you are an employer looking to have a Non-Compete Agreement prepared for you. If that is correct you should contact an employment attorney in your area. Generally, these types of agreements are not favored by the law. Many small businesses that simply pull something off the internet come to regret it.

Religion and the American Future
Edited by Christopher DeMuth and Yuval Levin
AEI Press, 2008, $25.00
View this press release/summary as an Adobe Acrobat PDF.
Media Inquiries: Véronique Rodman
[email protected] 202.862.4870
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 17, 2008
Religious belief is thriving in America today, even though it appears under assault as
seldom before--attacked by secularists, scientists, and increasingly vocal atheists; constrained by judges and civil libertarians; mocked by contemporary artists; and treated mundanely, if not cynically, by politicians seeking votes. Yet faith and religious observance are neither obsolete nor incompatible with modern society; on the contrary, the religious principles that guided the Founders continue to bind the nation and justify human endeavor. Religion and the American Future (AEI Press, 2008) explores the enduring strength of religion in American life.
In this insightful volume, a distinguished group of scholars contemplates the relationship of religion to the dominant secular realms of politics, science, law, and art. These authors argue that the religious and the secular realms must be willing to learn from each other's traditions; that faith-based voting is not the threat it may often seem; that science cannot answer humanity's deepest moral inquiries; and that the United States Constitution presupposes the existence of God. The volume concludes with an instructive look at Europe and the troubling implications of turning away from religious belief entirely.
Among the contributors' observations on the role of religion in American life:
- Renowned scholar Michael Novak argues that the concept of the secular is part of Christian thought and has only recently been considered in active conflict with religion. Citing thinkers from Aristotle to Habermas, Novak suggests that the present age is not secular but post-secular, a time in which religious and nonreligious Americans must display their willingness to learn from one another.
- John C. Green, a senior fellow at the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, examines voting patterns among religious Americans. Dismissing as hyperbole the heated rhetoric that often surrounds faith-based voting--including assertions that America is either becoming a theocracy or waging a war against Christians--Green crunches the numbers for twenty-two groups defined by religious affiliation, belief, and practice to explain what "faith-based" voting actually is.
- Leon R. Kass explores the tension between religion and science and concludes that knowledge sought by science is different from knowledge taught by scripture. The strictly scientistic view, he argues, is limited by its inability to address profound questions about morality, purpose, and the well-lived human life--questions that are at the heart of religious teaching.
- Former U.S. assistant attorney general Douglas W. Kmiec explores questions of religious faith and the American legal system. He reviews interpretations of the First Amendment establishment clause and argues that the Constitution, while never mentioning God explicitly, in fact presupposes the existence of the God cited in the Declaration of Independence as the basis for human rights.
- Art critic Roger Kimball examines the relationship of art and beauty to religion and morality. Drawing on aesthetics, ethics, epistemology, and art history, as well as statements by contemporary artists, he explores the ways in which artistic beauty has been considered a transcendent realm that could substitute for faith--and concludes that the realms of art and religion must maintain their essential distinctiveness.
- Marcello Pera, former president of the Italian Senate, cautions Americans about the cultural consequences of rejecting religion altogether. Pera suggests that the secular writers of the European Constitution become involved in paradox when they appeal to universal values--where do such values reside if not in religion?--and that Europe's abandonment of its religious heritage has undermined its status as a pillar of Western civilization.
Religion and the American Future is a lively, learned symposium on the role of religion in American society. The contributors rise in opposition to the cynicism, disdain, and constraint that often confront religion in public life; they argue that tolerance, respect, and free expression must shape the future of religion in America.
Christopher DeMuth is president of the American Enterprise Institute. Yuval Levin is director of the program on Bioethics and American Democracy at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Contributors: Stephen M. Barr, Peter Berkowitz, Joseph Bottum, David Gelernter, John C. Green, Michael Greve, Lee Harris, Kevin J. "Seamus" Hasson, Leon R. Kass, Roger Kimball, Douglas W. Kmiec, Irving Kristol, Charles Murray, Michael Novak, Marcello Pera, Robert Royal, and Roger Scruton.

Alvin Lucier - Music on a Long Thin Wire (1977) In his own words (1992): "Music on a Long Thin Wire is constructed as follows: the wire is extended across a large room, clamped to tables at both ends. The ends of the wire are connected to the loudspeaker terminals of a power amplifier placed under one of the tables. A sine wave oscillator is connected to the amplifier. A magnet straddles the wire at one end. Wooden bridges are inserted under the wire at both ends to which contact microphones are imbedded, routed to the stereo sound system. The microphones pick up the vibrations that the wire imparts to the bridges and are sent through the playback system. By varying the frequency and loudness of the oscillator, a rich variety of slides, frequency shifts, audible beats and other sonic phenomena may be produced." However, Lucier admits a long thin wire is only used to impress, a short thin wire would have worked as well if not better, and he discovered that the best way to produce variation in the sonic phenomena was to pick a setting and leave the setup alone. He praised David Rosenboom for his ability to pick interesting settings. This work is an example of Conceptual Music in which a drone sound pulses from a closed-tuned pitch device, electro-acoustic assembled. The indeterminacy of sounds,the interference beats and the overtones reverberate across the resonance of the space producing an ecstatic perception of a timeless tone. The language of Alvin Lucier howbeit is totally formalistic and unmingled from any mystical involvement. Visuals by Endimione features a washing machine lapsing fleeting in a sort of 'flickering' quotation of running loop indeterminacy of movement.

This being said, it's no wonder that this award-winning product is one of our panel's top picks in the energy drink category. The flavor is clean and crisp and we love the red, white, & blue design of the package. Definitely give this one a try.

Member reactions:
Clever chop, though I would never guess Rembrandt in the guy on the right
That is because it is Tom Hanks. I didn't have a current photograph of Rembrandt. I think he died before cameras so I found somebody that could act the part Thanks Newsey, Rajeshstar, Pree and 420
-Very surprised and very honored. Thanks Doc, eric, Luciano. I wouldn't really know Rembrandt if he knocked on my door but I think he would totally dig chopping.
Congratulations Hits.... Excellent work...
Congrats on the gold, Hits. I see it's transformed Tom Hanks now. It'd be very challenging to use the Rembrandt source and blend it with a photo - his technique was very far from photo realism - strong brush strokes and heavy contrast
Yeah it would. I circumvented getting into that sort of hair pulling and wisely so. I am not sure what inspired me to use Hank's likeness but I think Cloud Atlas had something to do with it. And as I was milling through tons of faces that might resemble Rembrandt Hanks kept popping up; mainly the eyes are similar. So I tweaked it all to build this modern version

Hmmmm, Bob and Pix didn't show up in comments whereas Newsey and Bunacode did... Thanks guys. One of those 4 little boxes up there on the front page is plenty stage. Anything bigger and I'd probably fall off, Bob
TY HH. Yeah buddy, the new program is awesome. I knew once I got the same toys as the big boys I could pump out some pretty consistent A+++ chops. Many thanks to my secret benefactor for that. I still have a few ad-ons that create a sparkle in my eye but what I have seems to be getting er dun.
Funny John McCain Wins GOP Nomination
After Republican presidential candidate John McCain successfully secured his GOP nomination, President George W. Bush gave his endorsement to McCain. Meeting with McCain and his wife at the White House, Bush junior said that McCain is a true Republican and would make a great country leader and commander-in-chief. At the same time many analysts think that blessings from Bush would actually drop McCain's ratings, since Bush has the lowest support ratings of all times, and associating with Bush is not the best thing at the moment. Photoshop anything related to John McCain winning the GOP nomination, his future possible presidency, and running mate. Some examples are: motivational & demotivational posters with McCain, old paintings showing "Christening" of McCain by GOP leaders, his election posters with his running mate, etc.

MUSSELS would have to be one of the easiest and quickest dishes to prepare and that makes me a happy clam.
SIMPLY clean them under some cold water and rip out their beards. This is particularly therapeutic if you pretend you are pulling out that chin goatee thing some men keep insisting on wearing.
DICE some chilli, tomatoes and crush some garlic. We've had an abundance of beautiful Roma tomatoes in the garden this summer.
FRY your chilli and garlic in a heavy-based saucepan before adding the tomatoes.
ADD some white wine and turn up the heat to boil off the alcohol (or not). You can also use beer. I like a Hoegaarden myself.
WHILST the heat is high, close the lid for a few minutes to steam the mussels open. Throw away any that refuse to come to the party and open up.
DISH it up in a bowl with plenty of broth. Add some freshly chopped parsley and some crusty bread and you're done.
SUBSTITUTE the tomatoes, wine and parsley with ginger, lemongrass, fish sauce, brown sugar and coriander for an Asian style broth.

February 2008
Approaching 50 member groups
A further 10 organisations have swelled the Shark Alliance since our last newsletter, bringing our current membership to 49. Most recently we welcomed
Slow Food International
and the following groups from France, Italy and Spain:
Ligue Roc
(Gruppo Ricercatori Italiani sugli Squali, razze e chimere); and
(The Foundation for the Conservation and Rescue of Marine Animals).
Hope on the horizon in 2008
Describing it as "a solid blueprint for meaningful, corrective action," the Shark Alliance welcomed the consultation document for a Community Plan of Action (CPOA) for Sharks released by the European Commission in December. Since then, the Shark Alliance has submitted comments on the document and engaged in policy debates on the proposed plan elements.
In February, Shark Alliance staff presented positions on the Commission's proposals at a meeting of the Advisory Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture (ACFA) in Brussels, a meeting of the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council in Amsterdam, and a shark conference hosted by the Spanish government and fishing industry in Madrid.
The Commission has committed to present the CPOA to the EU Council and Parliament in the form of a Communication by the end of the year, after which time both entities are expected to provide their views.

News Round-up from late last year
UN General Assembly calls for science-based measures to protect sharks
In December, as part of its annual fisheries resolution, the United Nations called on fishing nations and international fisheries organisations to urgently adopt science-based measures - such as limits on shark catch and fishing effort - and to take immediate and concerted action to improve implementation of existing shark measures.
The Resolution makes specific mention of shark finning - the wasteful practice of slicing off a shark's valuable fins and discarding the body at sea - and encourages requirements that sharks be landed with their fins still attached to their bodies. Scientists have repeatedly
recommended this "fins-attached" strategy as the best method for preventing finning and for collecting the species-specific shark catch information needed for population assessments.
Scientists call for action to conserve sharks
In November, shark and ray scientists at an annual conference in France pushed the number of signatories to a Shark Alliance Statement of Concerned Scientists to over 100. The Statement calls on EU Ministers and fisheries managers to heed scientific advice for fishing limits and develop an EU shark plan.
Scientists' statement of concern
Also in November, an IUCN (World Conservation Union) study revealed that the Mediterranean Sea has the world's highest percentage (42%) of shark and ray populations assessed as threatened with extinction.
EU 2008 catch limits too high to recover porbeagle and spurdog
In spite of the above calls for science-based measures, the EU Council's decisions for 2008 catch limits for spurdog and porbeagle sharks - two species considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN - exceeded the scientific advice (for no fishing), to the point where it is questionable whether they restrict fishing at all.
The Shark Alliance was pleased, however, that spurdog take was restricted to bycatch and that porbeagle fishing at long last became limited. Porbeagles are still targeted off France and taken opportunistically by Spain and UK fishermen.
Stinging critique of EU fisheries management
A December report from the European Court of Auditors offered a stinging critique of EU fisheries management programmes. "If this situation continues," said the auditors, "it will bring grave consequences not only for the natural resources, but also for the future of the fishing industry."

Last but not least, a big thanks to everyone who supported our hugely successful European Shark Week last October. Throughout the week our members across Europe held a variety of events - from film screenings and photo exhibitions to drawing competitions and aquarium sleep-overs. A total of more than 20,000 signatures were collected and presented to the European Commission at the beginning of November by a Shark Alliance delegation.
Please mark your calendars! European Shark Week 2008 will take place from 11-19 October.

The News Hole
Finances in race for Baltimore sheriff get interesting
The latest campaign-finance reports filed by Democrats in the race for Baltimore sheriff show long-time incumbent John Anderson having the highest cash balance, with one challenger—Richard Parker—close behind and another—Donoven Brooks—lagging. The race's lone Republican, David Wiggins, continues to not raise or spend any significant money, allowing him to file an affidavit of limited activity in lieu of a report. The details of the contestants' money game reveal the contours of influence competing to secure victory in the June 24 primary, the winner of which will face Wiggins in the November general election.
At the end of the latest reporting period, which ran from Jan. 9 to May 20, Anderson had $42,021.77 cash on hand, compared to Parker's $36,125 and Brooks' $294.58. Parker raised the most during this period, bringing in $9,250 compared to Brooks' $4,500.13 and Anderson's $3,250. Anderson spent the most, $30,880.75, while Parker and Brooks made payments of $14,083 and $4,309.18, respectively.
Anderson's top donors this period were deputy sheriff Monica Smith ($350), deputy sheriff sergeant Governor Tillery ($350), Anderson himself ($210), and Baltimore police officer Ken Dickstein ($210). His campaign's biggest expenditures went to Northeaster Signs ($10,695.40), Vote Schleifer ($4,000), Radio One ($2,278), and Mo's Crab & Pasta Factory ($2,150). Vote Schleifer is the campaign organization supporting Isaac Schleifer, who is running for Democratic State Central Committee in the city's 41st District; Anderson's report states that the money was for "printing – yard signs."
The biggest benefactor for Parker, a U.S. Army legal specialist and president of Citizens of Pigtown Community Association, was Kevin Butler ($2,750), vice president of People's Home Mortgage, who owns the trademark for Hammerjacks nightclub, which he plans to reopen near its former location close to M&T Bank Stadium and the under-construction Horseshoe Casino. Next up were pharmacy technician Mecca Gardner ($1,800), former president of a Glen Burnie community association Geraldine Lippman ($1,000), and Four One Four LLC ($1,000), the company that owns Kings & Diamonds strip club on The Block, which was formed by Kenneth Antonio "Bird" Jackson, the long-time manager of his family's strip club, the Eldorado Lounge on Lombard St. in East Baltimore. Jackson is a politically active stevedore with a high-profile past in Baltimore's drug game, and Four One Four has also donated to the campaigns of Baltimore City Council President Bernard "Jack" Young (D) and City Councilman William "Pete" Welch (D-9th District).
Parker's big-ticket campaign payments went to Print Works ($6,423), a Canton-based printer; Raven Cook ($3,500), a pharmacy technician who was paid for "field expenses," the report states; a video by Theodore Barksdale ($3,150), who shares the address for Jackson's Eldorado Lounge; and Bobby's Jazz Club ($2,000) in Pigtown, which donated its use for a Parker fundraiser.
Brooks, a Baltimore City schools police patrol supervisor, got his biggest boost from Cereta Spencer ($2,050), owner of the event-planning firm Sincerely Cereta, with other key donations coming from: Dr. J.R. Kirkland ($500),president of FBA, Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based government relations firm; Carvin Cook ($300), reverend at Emmanuel United Baptist Church near Mondawmin Mall; Lester Buster ($150), president of the Waxter Center Advisory Council; and Arthur W. Lambert ($150), a local insurance-company owner. His campaign's spending was focused on paying for campaign materials produced by Lord Industries ($805.60) in Westminster, Ellis Designs ($669) in Charles Village, Precision Signz ($645) of Iowa, and Pigtown's Digital Printing and Graphics ($398.56).
In other news relevant to the race, two federal lawsuits naming Anderson as a defendant, both contending wrongdoing at the sheriff's office, have shown some movement. A long-fought legal battle over allegations of sex discrimination and retaliation brought by former deputy sheriff Juanita Gaines was dismissed by U.S. District judge James Bredar in April. On May 29, Anderson's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss a free-speech retaliation lawsuit brought last year by Deborah Claridy, a former deputy sheriff who ran unsuccessfully against him the 2010 elections. The status of Claridy's lawsuit is unclear, since she currently does not have a lawyer fighting it on her behalf; the one who filed the case, former Baltimore City Solicitor Neal Janey, withdrew in early May after consenting to be put on inactive status, by order of the Maryland Court of Appeals.

Re: Official TNA DVD Help/Discussion/Review Thread
I got the TNA 3 Pack with Turning Point 09, Final Resolution 09, & Against All Odds 10. I liked all 3 shows, so I wanted the 3 pack. I'll give brief summaries on my feelings towards them now.
TP09 = Hailed as the best TNA PPV of 2009, I can't say I fully agree. I really enjoyed both Slammiversary & Bound for Glory as well, but TP is a very strong effort. The undercard is mostly solid with Red/Cide for the X Title, Tara/Kong in a Cage, the Six Man Tag Team Match, & The 3 Way Tag Team Title Match providing solid action. Steiner/Lashley & the KO Tag were mediocre, but came with low expectations anyway. The strength of the show was in the Double Main Event of Angle/Wolfe & AJ/Daniels/Joe IV for the World Title (yeah, not II, IV. It was their FIFTH PPV match in a 3 way setting people!) were both excellent. Angle/Wolfe was my pick for MOTN and was nothing short of an excellent technical display centered around who was, at the time, a fresh face to the company & a hot feud. Excellent work there. The 3 Way, while nowhere near as interesting as it had been in 05 or 06, was a fantastic athletic display from all three men. I loved it. So two strong main events makes for a strong PPV from TNA.
FR09 = Well this one has Feast or Fired which just pissed me off. I HATE THAT MATCH!!! But the rest of the undercard is fine. Guns Vs. BI for tag gold was very good as the opener. Tara/ODB was solid. The Hardcore Tag of Foley/Abyss Vs. Richards/Raven was surprisingly fun. Eight Man Tag was alright, and Steiner/Lashley was much improved from the month before. Its probably Lashley's best match in TNA (which ain't sayin' much). But once again, the real strength of the card is in the double main event. Angle/Wolfe II in 3 Degrees of Pain was not as good as the first match but still alot of fun. I liked the action & the intensity that both men brought. I thought it was dumb to have the "Using the Cage = DQ" rule since each fall only had one way to win anyway, so what would the harm be in letting them use the cage? Anyways, Wolfe & Angle had another vicious & grueling match and it was fun. AJ Vs. Daniels 1 on 1 for the gold was pretty brutal. Some of the hard falls they did in that match were pretty sick. Very good match between the two with the awesome finish of The Super Styles Clash. So once again, another very good show IMO.
AAO10 = This one didn't necessarily deliver as far as having classic matches goes, but it didn't need to. I felt like the show had a good story throughout the night, set up by the tournament. I said it before, but what I loved about this show was that when it was done, I walked away from it thinking The Pope & Mr. Anderson were stars. Both of them came off looking like elevated talents when it was done, and I was pleasantly surprised. So because of their individual paths to the finals, it made the show pretty enjoyable to me, and it was great to have Pope go in their hurt. AJ/Joe was a pretty good World Title match to have there as well. The one real dud on the show was the Nasty Boys/3D match which was, by far, the worst match on all three shows (even Feast or Fired). Not the greatest show in terms of in ring action, but the sum was greater than the parts to me.
Very happy with the DVD set.

599cc, 106bhp, 163mph, Insurance group 14
With its genuine 163mph top speed, six-piston brakes, low'ish insurance group and evil induction noise the Kawasaki ZX-6R G-series is the bike that overnight made the 750cc superbikes look superfluous. Even today it's still considered a capable performer, though the suspension and stoppers will doubtless welcome a fettle.
599cc, 109bhp, 163mph, Insurance group 14
Kawasaki's new-for-2000 ZX-6R got a new swingarm, a revised rear shock and engine internals and a facelift – not good enough to compete with Yamaha's stunning R6 on the track nor Honda's new ally-framed CBR600 on the road. In 2002 it got a beefier 636cc motor, which made it a much improved road tool.
748cc, 116bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 15
Preferred by some to the Ducati 999, and for good reason. The Ducati 749 is a cheaper motorcycle new or used, plus the smaller engine makes just the right amount of power for the chassis in certain road riding situations. The Ducati 749 has a kind of balance, an addictive precision, in its steering, acceleration and braking that makes it a machine that ...
748cc, 103bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 16
The Ducati 748 is nearly identical to the iconic Ducati 916 but with a smaller engine (and narrower rear wheel). That means sublime handling on smooth surfaces, terrible comfort, high running costs and a feel-good experience most other motorcycle can't touch. Even well over a decade on few motorcycles match the simple, gorgeous curves of the Ducati 748.
652cc, 48bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 13
The Bimota BB1 is strictly one for enthusiasts and collectors. Gorgeous looks, excellent handling and Italian exclusivity are the positives. Unfortunately the negatives (lack of power and heavy vibrations from the engine) more than outweigh the plusses for most people. Also the Bimota BB1 is not cheap and dealer back up is almost non-existent.
