Perhaps if Jacquelyn Mitchard's essay had been titled "My Favorite Songs: How Do They Compare to Yours?" (thanks for the suggestion, Koalabelle), we wouldn't have gotten so many angry comments and Facebook posts about our story, "16 Songs Everyone Over 50 Must Own."
Nobody, especially at our age, likes to be told what to do.
But it wasn't only the headline that got readers riled up. People complained about everything from the pokiness of our website (we're working on it!) to the lack of songs with "Linda" in the title ("the name with the most songs written about it!!!," according to, you guessed it, Linda on Facebook.)
Mostly, though, Mitchard's greatest sin seemed to be that she left out the music you love — the music you listened to under the covers with a transistor radio, at a dance hall or a disco, in a dorm room with towels stuffed under the door, in a Ford Mustang, a hooch in Vietnam, or at a rally for peace or civil rights. As AARP community member fishface33 says: "Songs are like pizza. We all have our favorite." And, for the most part, Mitchard failed to name that tune.
Some of you, like malocclusiontenfour (a dentist CB radio enthusiast?), had your own lists to offer (see "36 more"), but many of you simply had one big beef: Why was (fill in the blank) left out?
Sometimes it was a single song, like Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way" or Don McLean's "American Pie." Others regretted the absence of an artist (Bob Dylan was on many lists), a group (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is clearly a favorite, as is the Band, Cream, the Grateful Dead, the Police) or a style of music (Motown, by a mile).
Mitchard couldn't win for losing. When she did pick a popular artist or group, like the Beach Boys, Beatles or Elvis, writers criticized her song choice. Her attempt to move things toward the 21st century (Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise") was greeted with scorn ("Forget the disco and rap crap") equal only to that of those who expressed hostility or at least ambivalence about music from the more-distant past. Madriver's note about this was wistful: "I'm over 50, but have to say you've captured some of the music my parents listened to. I'm not sure how I feel about that."
In fact, the upper end of the AARP demographic felt mostly left out, a sentiment voiced by penstamon. "Were the writer really concerned, there certainly would have been a 'Stardust' on the list (which is still considered the greatest song ever written), as well as an 'All the Things You Are,' etc. Maybe there would have even been room for a 'My Funny Valentine,' too. That would have been a nice touch."
In your own lists, there were fewer mentions of Bruce Springsteen than we might have expected. The outraged musical theater fans mostly sat on the sidelines, and we didn't hear from a single reader lamenting the lack of Louis Armstrong, considered the father of jazz.
Finally, not all of you were molto furioso about Mitchard's picks. Indeed, the kindest comment may have been this one: "Sweet 16 array of music, gracia."
Whether that was gracia as in "grace" or as in an abbreviated "thanks," we'll take it. Thanks for caring enough to write and keep the comments coming.
Next: More songs submitted by readers — see how they compare with your favorites. »

Fireman Ed is a self-centered reject who likes to believe he's the "voice" of Jets fans when in reality most Jets fans hate him.
But isn't that typical of such a terrible fanbase?
Captain Jet is lightyears ahead of Fireman Ed.
Yeah there's an idea, why not have Cowboy Ed and bundle all the assclowns into one nifty little package and ship them all off to Dallas where I only have to see them once a year on Thanksgiving. ****ing Fireman Ed, he is a douchebag of epic proportions even by a Jets fan's standard. He belongs in Dallas with Jerry (I'm so high on myself I don't even realize my team sucks) Jones and the Texas mentality that we aren't part of Merica, aight! We're Texas gods biggest reason to why cows and oil is great, aight!

FITNESS FLASH - Drink-Up for Better/Longer Ski Days in Stowe
It's cold out and you're determined to get a good day on the mountain in - there's fresh powder after all! Despite those brisk temperatures that come to Vermont every year, we tend to forget we still need to hydrate all year long.
We've got Snow-Yes we do!
While my weather-obsessed fans keep telling me that more snow coming, and remind me of the winters of New England's past that started off slow, I remain positive with the current conditions from my past few days on the hill. Especially because the snow here at Stowe has been great!
FITNESS FLASH - New Year, New You!
The ball has dropped, the toasts have been said, and well wishes exchanged—another year is upon us. According to the Los Angeles Times 45% of Americans make New Year's resolutions, but only 20% of them follow through with the pledge.

I am doing this 3 or more post early and hoping that by Tuesday Tam @ The Gypsy's Corner will be hosting as usual. I have not had much luck lately with the memes being where they are supposed to be. There are always interesting things over there to see so make sure you head over and visit the other blogs.
My 3 are the bird houses on one of the sheds at the cabin. They are very rustic as is the building. The wood on the shed is not stained dark that is just the old patina.
The roofs on two of the bird houses are pieces of tree bark, naturally curved. Please ignore the smudge on the lens of my camera. I am such a professional photographer...jeesh. This picture was taken in early May and the trees are looking pretty sparse. It is all green and lush now.
Birds actually do nest in there too.

I love the rustic shed and birdhouses. I love that patina.
I put my birdhouses outside for the first time this spring and [duh] was surprised and horrified that BIRDS actually moved in.
Since I'm terrified of birds there is now an entire section of yard that I can't enter.
(Two words; Alfred Hitchcock.)
I've figured out why I love this theme.
My mom always used to joke, "If you've got three or more - you're collecting."
I have three daughters, and a LOT of other "collections."
This is the best theme evah.

What a lovely cabin.Love birdhouses.I had a very lovely blue one posted on a stick in the ground.Several years I had tits in it. Helas the wind and the rain got the birdhouse after almost 20 years ...I miss it because I had it right out of my kitchen window and when there where little birds in it it was a pleasure to do the washing up.

What a cute little collection of birdie houses on your shed, Lori! And they're functional, too. Mine are all decorative and are set inside the house because I've deemed them too pretty for a little bird to put grass and other junk into them. I am not a good person, I guess....
You must have some property- looks like nothing behind you but open land. I DO like trees!
hugs, Ethel

This is not the cabin but a little out building/shed. That is where the recyclables are kept until the bins are full. Funny how that doesn't take long at all.
The area behind the fence is brush that blocks the view of the dike. The Tulameen River is right there behind us.
My BB guy and youngest son just spent a week there lounging in the river during the hot sunny days and working on filling the shed too.

Wow, Lori!! You do a post about birdhouses and all people do is compliment the shed! LOL!
Well...as a birdhouse aficiondo (always wanted to use that word. Probably didn't spell it right), I lean toward the rustic look. Unfortunately, birds can reek havoc on their little abodes and I have seen many prized birdhouses fall apart. So the more rustic, the better. Then you can't see all the damage.
As far as the shed, let's clean it out, spiff it up and play house in it.

Milliard said he "absolutely [felt] vindicated by the verdict" as he has steadfastly maintained his innocence since his arrest and incarceration in July of 2012.

By exerting its twin vocation as a watchmaker and jeweller, Piaget immerses us in a dreamlike atmosphere. Mystery reigns supreme with the Tourbillon Relatif. Suspended from one end of the minutes hand that leads it into an ever-spinning dance, it appears to be actually independent from the movement. A masterful demonstration of watchmaking and jewellery expertise that embodies the brand's two key skills. The jewellers create sparkling compositions with brilliant and baguette-cut diamonds to recreate the Piaget Polo aesthetic in a truly striking manner.
608P movement
In building upon the technical specifications and carriage of the 600P tourbillon movement, Piaget revolutionised watchmaking with the 608P tourbillon relatif movement. This movement is revolutionary on two grounds: the embodiment of Piaget's daring creativity and its constant willingness to harness the power of technology for aesthetic ends. Suspended at the tip of the minutes hand, the carriage of the flying tourbillon movement seems detached from the basic mechanism which drives it. The visual effect it produces is accentuated by the presence of the stylised "P" of Piaget. The asymmetry of the design required meticulous adjustments in order to respect the balance of the whole movement. The hours are displayed by a central disc, while the tourbillon carriage, positioned on the minutes hand, rotates on its own axis. The three bridges of the tourbillon carriage are crafted in titanium, a highly resistant and lightweight material. Composed of 42 elements, the carriage – which rotates on its own axis once per minute in addition to the rotation around the dial every hour – weighs only 0.2 grammes! Its mainplate is circular-grained, its bridges bevelled and hand-drawn. Finally, the circular Côtes de Genève and blued screws round off this exceptional movement, recalling the aesthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watch brand.

JVCC AF22-BLK Matte Black Aluminum Foil Tape is a matte-black non-reflective aluminum foil tape coated with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. The tape comes on a white paper release liner. The tape features a malleable foil which confirms well to irregular and curves surfaces. Its aggressive adhesive provides quick, positive grab. AF22-BLK is great for temporary light control as the tape easily confirms and adheres to light fixtures and/or barn doors. It has a mate black finish that does not reflect light, but absorbs light from ambient light sources. The tape performs well at both low and elevated temperatures and is flame retardant. It is primarily used in the entertainment industry for blocking and suppressing spills and leakages on heat generating equipment such as projectors, light cans, barndoors, and similar equipment. Lighting decorators / engineers can use it to create shadows, form barn doors and adapt gobos. Used in situations where extreme heat might otherwise burn flags or cutters,. Also used in the construction industry for joining elastomeric insulation systems.
The surface to which the tape is applied should be clean, dry and free of any grease or oil. It should also be stored at 70°F / 50% relative humidity and out of direct sunlight.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

You are right, I guess Obama made that clear in his speech. From what I heard. I don't listen to him or any of his speeches. What the antigun groups don't get and never will, people kill people not guns. If it was not guns it will be something else.
As for how someone could do something this evil? Experts say he was mentally unstable. I can not argue with that, but I think there is more to it. If you take a person that has never been saved, does not believe in God, has no morals & is unethical. You will find a miserable person searching for something. Lets say he turns to drugs, & he gets that high. A door is now opened for a demon to enter him. Once that demon is in him, he will give him a high no drug on earth can & he will control him. That is how some one can be this evil it is Satan in control of them. There is an old Indian man here in Oklahoma that taught a good lesson. He said "There is a black dog & white dog fighting in your soul. Which one will win?............. The one you feed because he will grow bigger & stronger" That is a good lesson for all of us. Feed the positive & starve the negative!
Continue to pray for the family's.
God Bless you & your family's

Hill College Modernizes Welding Fleet to Meet Demands of Local Industry
The Hill College Welding Department—an American Welding Society SENSE Level 1 school—offers classes year round and allows students to start on their welding education in each of the three semesters.
Hill College applied for and won a JET grant (Jobs and Education for Texans) which allowed the college to purchase 22 XMT 304 MIGRunner packages for its Hill County Campus.
Located in the heart of Central Texas, Hill College finds itself in a hotbed of fabrication. In addition to job shops and general manufacturing, the area has a demand for trained welders to feed companies specializing in screw conveyor fabrication, rail car service, steel poles for power transmission and distribution, and pipe welding.
The Hill College Welding Department—an American Welding Society SENSE Level 1 school—offers students the skills they need to gain entry level welding jobs in each of these fields through various curriculum paths. This includes a basic arc welding certificate, a semi-automatic certificate, and a special arc welding certificate that combines both of the other curriculum with a capstone class that requires successful completion of the AWS Entry Level Welder Qualification (AWS QC10-95). The school also offers a certificate of technology that leads students into an associate of applied science in welding degree featuring both academic and technical classes.
As with many schools around the country, there is a delicate balance between outfitting welding labs with top-of-the-line equipment and balancing budgets—a fact further highlighted by the fact that the school planned to open a third welding lab at its Meridian campus. Through a series of state and federal grants, Hill College was able to outfit each of its labs with new Miller welding equipment, highlighted by nearly two dozen XMT® 304 CC/CV MIGRunner™ packages that include: an XMT 304 multiprocess power source, a 22A wire feeder, a Bernard® Q-Gun™, an Industrial MIG Kit, drive rolls for both .035 and .045 wire, and a factory-installed running gear/cylinder rack.
Focus on Student Growth Helps Local Industry
"We really focus on maintaining a small class size," says Brian Bennett, industrial technology coordinator, Hill College. "We don't double-stack students to a weld station and we have lab assistants who work in the classroom along with the instructor, so there's always more than one resource for a student to go to."
This focus on student growth and attention is one of the reasons Hill College's welding program is held in high regard by local industry. Another is the fact that the school caters to each student's schedule and needs—there are classes held at various times throughout the day, and students are able to start the program at the beginning of any of the three semesters (Fall, Spring, Summer). This also ensures that Hill College is graduating students into the workforce throughout the year.
"Our program is year round," says Bennett, "and we offer intro classes year round, so if a student wants to enter the curriculum in June, they can start taking welding classes right away—they don't have to wait for the fall semester. Our special arc welding certificate takes one year to complete, and with that each student has learned the core welding processes and is ready to go into the workforce."
As in many parts of the country, despite a slow economic recovery, there is a demand for skilled labor—welders, particularly—as older members of the workforce retire without young skilled labor to backfill. Hill College works side-by-side with local industry to ensure that the students it produces are meeting the demands they have in new employees.
"We have an advisory committee made up of local employers," says Bennett, "and we meet at least once a year to discuss the direction of our program to make sure that it meets the needs of the local industry."
Equipping Students for Success
While welding was always offered the school's Hill County (Hillsboro) and Johnson County (Cleburne) Campuses, the school recently expanded the welding curriculum to its Meridian Campus as well. All together, the school currently has approximately 157 students enrolled in its welding classes.
"The facility in Meridian had limited power input, and there weren't any funds for new construction," says Bennett. "That was a big push for the inverters. That's why we went with the XMT 304. For the price point and the power input, there wasn't an equivalent."
As the new Meridian welding lab is limited to a total of 14 welding booths, instructors had to be creative with equipment selection to ensure they'd always have enough machines available to teach each welding process. With a congressional grant received through the office of U.S. Congressman Chet Edwards, Hill College was able to outfit the new facility with:
- Five Syncrowave® 200 TIG power sources
- Two XMT 304 MIGRunner packages and three XMT 304 power sources
- Four Millermatic 252 MIG power sources (three of which have dual cylinders and spool guns)
- One Shopmate™ 300 DX DC multiprocess power source
- One Trailblazer® 302 engine-driven welding generator
- One Spectrum® 625 X-TREME™ plasma cutter
"Fourteen booths was the most we could put in," explains Bennett. "We have five Syncrowaves and five XMTs, so that gives us 10 machines that we can teach some form of TIG welding with. We can do AC aluminum on the Syncrowaves while we go with DC TIG on the XMTs. We can use the XMTs along with the Millermatics during our MIG welding classes. The multiprocess machines play a big part in what we are able to do here, because while we did want some machines dedicated specifically to one process, we also needed flexibility to be able to MIG, TIG and Stick in some of the booths without having to stack three machines."
XMTs Key to Teaching Dual-Shield Flux Cored Welding
The predominant welding processes performed by the companies that make up Hill College's advisory committee are MIG and Dual-Shield Flux Cored, hence a heavy focus on these processes in the school's advanced MIG welding classes. While cleanliness and proper weld preparation are stressed in all facets of the curriculum, Dual-Shield Flux Cored is relied upon in rail car repair, for instance, because of its ability to weld on materials that may contain traces of contaminants (oil, paint, rust) and its ability to weld in all positions. It also offers superior penetration and mechanical properties on thicker materials compared to Stick welding or MIG welding with solid wires.
"They're dealing with thick material," says Bennett, "it's usually not clean, and it's in a production environment, so they need to get work in and out. They go with Dual-Shield Flux Cored to get that penetration and speed."
In order to ensure its students have the tools to learn these processes, Hill College applied for and won a JET grant (Jobs and Education for Texans) which allowed the college to purchase 22 XMT 304 MIGRunner packages for its Hill County Campus. The MIGRunner packages come outfitted with everything needed to run MIG and Flux Cored wires (including both .035- and .045-in. drive rolls) while still offering the great multiprocess capabilities Hill College requires.
"These things are fully loaded," says Bennett. "We can Stick weld with them, we can MIG weld with them, and we can scratch TIG with them."
The school also added two more XMT 304 MIGRunner packages through a grant made possible by the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act to its Johnson County Campus. Through three different grants, Hill College has been able to overhaul almost its entire welding fleet and outfit a completely new lab, and almost all of that equipment is Blue.
"Much of our local industry is fabrication and production welding," says Bennett. "I would say Miller is the standard for that. It's what our students will see when they get out in the industry. We've always had very good customer service with our Miller reps, and this equipment really gives us the best bang for our buck."
"We want to make sure that our students, when they leave here, have the basic skills to help our local industry, as well as anywhere else they might go. And we're doing that."

Interpretive Handbook

Vitamin B12 Assay, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is necessary for hematopoiesis and normal neuronal function. In humans, it is obtained only from animal proteins and requires intrinsic factor (IF) for absorption. The body uses its vitamin B12 stores very economically, reabsorbing vitamin B12 from the ileum and returning it to the liver; very little is excreted.
Vitamin B12 deficiency may be due to lack of IF secretion by gastric mucosa (eg, gastrectomy, gastric atrophy) or intestinal malabsorption (eg, ileal resection, small intestinal diseases).
Vitamin B12 deficiency frequently causes macrocytic anemia, glossitis, peripheral neuropathy, weakness, hyperreflexia, ataxia, loss of proprioception, poor coordination, and affective behavioral changes. These manifestations may occur in any combination; many patients have the neurologic defects without macrocytic anemia.
Pernicious anemia is a macrocytic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency that is due to a lack of IF secretion by gastric mucosa.
Serum methylmalonic acid and homocysteine levels are also elevated in vitamin B12 deficiency states.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Investigation of macrocytic anemia
Workup of deficiencies seen in megaloblastic anemias
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A serum vitamin B12 level <180 ng/L may cause megaloblastic anemia and/or peripheral neuropathies.
Vitamin B12 level <150 ng/L is considered evidence of vitamin B12 deficiency. Follow-up with tests for antibodies to intrinsic factor (IFBA / Intrinsic Factor Blocking Antibody, Serum) are recommended to identify this potential cause of vitamin B12 malabsorption. For specimens without antibodies, follow-up testing of vitamin B12 tissue deficiency by measuring MMA (MMAS / Methylmalonic Acid [MMA], Quantitative, Serum) and/or homocysteine (HCYSP / Homocysteine, Total, Plasma) may be indicated if the patient is symptomatic.
Patients with serum B12 levels between 150 and 400 ng/L are considered borderline and should be evaluated further by functional tests for vitamin B12 deficiency. The plasma homocysteine level is a good screening test. A normal level effectively excludes vitamin B12 and folate deficiency in an asymptomatic patient. However, the test is not specific and many situations can cause an increased level. In contrast, an increased serum MMA level is more specific for cellular-level B12 deficiency and is not increased by folate deficiency.
Ordering ACASM / Pernicious Anemia Cascade simplifies the evaluation of B12 deficiency and will ensure that additional testing is performed in patients with a decreased vitamin B12 level:
The cascade begins with serum B12 measurement. If the vitamin B12 level is <150 ng/L, intrinsic factor-blocking antibody (IFBA) testing is automatically performed. If the IFBA test is negative or indeterminate, gastrin level is evaluated.
If the serum vitamin B12 level is 150 to 400 ng/L, methylmalonic acid is measured. If the methylmalonic acid is >0.40 units/L, IFBA testing is performed.
If the serum vitamin B12 level is >400 ng/L, no further testing is performed.
See Vitamin B12 Deficiency Evaluation in Special Instructions.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Patients taking vitamin B12 supplementation may have misleading results.
Recent vitamin B12 administration could result in normal or elevated serum concentrations.
Many other conditions are known to cause an increase or decrease in the serum vitamin B12 concentration including:
Increased Serum B12
Decreased Serum B12
Ingestion of vitamin C
Ingestion of estrogens
Ingestion of vitamin A
Hepatocellular injury
Myeloproliferative disorder
Ethanol ingestion
Contraceptive hormones
Multiple myeloma
The evaluation of macrocytic anemia requires measurement of both vitamin B12 and folate levels; ideally they should be measured simultaneously.
Some patients exposed to animal antigens, either in the environment or as part of treatment or imaging procedure, may have circulating antianimal antibodies present. These antibodies may interfere with the assay reagents to produce unreliable results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Fenuxe Op-Ed Incites Gay Community, But Not Vandalism of Local Business
A controversial editorial published in a local gay magazine turned out not to be the cause of vandalism at a popular men's clothing store that caters to gay men. But the article, which castigated Atlanta's gay bar and club scene, has caused dissension in the community, with LGBT members boycotting individual establishments, or withdrawing support from Fenuxe Magazine in retaliation for what they call a poorly-timed attack on Atlanta's LGBT community.
The Boy Next Door Menswear store, located at 1447 Piedmont Avenue, was vandalized on Oct. 18 around 4:49 a.m. During the initial investigation, the store's general manager Raymond Dowis thought that the vandalism may have been a result of his store advertising in Fenuxe, a local LGBT magazine.
Fenuxe published an article, "Why Can't We Have Nice Things?" in its Oct. 4 Pride issue. The article criticized the city's gay bar and club scene. But the most shocking aspect of the article was the picture that went along with the story -- a server holding a silver platter with a pile of defecation.
According to Atlanta Police Public Information Officer Gregory Lyon, 50-year-old Anthony Everett Moore was arrested on Oct. 20 around 6 p.m. after an officer patrolling the Ansley Mall area noticed Moore.
"We were able to ascertain probable cause to charge Mr. Moore with criminal attempt to commit burglary and criminal damage to property. The investigation did not indicate that this crime was bias in nature," said Lyon.
After learning that a suspect had been arrested, Dowis said he was glad to learn that his store's smashed-in front window, which had been still decorated with rainbow flags after the weekend's Pride celebrations, was not a hate crime and that it had no connection to the Fenuxe article threats.
"If that had been the case, it would have shown a bigger problem in the community," said Dowis, noting that the eclectic Midtown neighborhood was home to not only a number of the LGBT people but various ethnic groups as well. "We have a great mix. For something like that to happen and it be a hate crime, it wouldn't have been a good representation. But people here have shown that they are above it."
Dowis said the store has never had any problems with burglary attempts or vandalism in the past. But they took a preemptive approach and the store is equipped with surveillance cameras, bars on the window and windows with impact-resistant glass. Because of their precautionary measures, they only sustained around $800 in damages, Dowis said.
The Fenuxe editorial sparked controversy among people within the LGBT community and Dowis said that he received a number of threatening phone calls because they advertise regularly in Fenuxe. Some threatened to throw the Fenuxe distribution box into the store's front window.
In the article, Nico Stoerner, the Fenuxe writer who wrote the article, criticized the city's bars for their small expensive drinks and disgusting, cramped, outdated spaces filled with drunken patrons. While few people were able to read the article (days later it was removed from the magazine's website and no mentions of it were made on their Facebook page), it didn't take long for it to become a hot-button topic.
Stoerner's scathing description of the city's bars, some of which either advertise or distribute the publication, led Dowis and Atlanta Police investigators to initially believe that was the connection of the vandalism.
"Some people incorrectly equated the store advertising in Fenuxe with supporting the content of the article," said Dowis, who noted that while he believes in freedom of speech, he disagrees with the way the article's message was presented and its timing (in the magazine's Pride edition).
"There could have been a more eloquent way to present the message," said Dowis, who said he will continue to advertise in Fenuxe magazine.
Sight Unseen, Op-Ed Continues to Provoke Community Response
While many did not get to read the article firsthand, it has still sparked debate and conversations. Local LGBT website Project Q ran a story and highlighted most of the story for its readers.
Brent Star, a popular drag artist, comedian and columnist for David magazine, said he was in shock after hearing how the issue was handled.
Star did not get to read the article, but said "I did see the caption with the model waiter serving up a dish of poo poo. Yes, we all have 'freedom of speech' but as a writer myself, I'm well aware that doing something like that is like suicide for an article or in this case, an issue, to say the least."
Like many folks who have been venting, Star believes in freedom of speech. He added, "I do know that every city has a 'problem' in the club/bar scene. Duh! Even in the straight community, things aren't always perfect."
"My theory is, if you're going to slam that hard on a community about what you feel is wrong, I think you should offer to pitch in and help solve whatever the problem is first," said Star. "I was also shocked because the very clubs and venues that were trashed were the main ones supporting that particular publication. So it just makes common sense to share your views on the scene very carefully."

Gallery: Müvbox Fast Food Shipping Container Restaurant
Fast Food Nation meets Shipping Container Nation in a brilliant concept that not only looks amazing, but probably tastes just as good. The Müvbox is a new concept, which recently emerged from Montreal, Canada and is a shipping container that opens up into a full-fledged mobile, outdoor fast food restaurant. Think Adam Kalkin's Push Button House with a gourmet kitchen inside and a fabulous graphic paint job. Oh, and they serve local lobster from the Magdalen Islands.
Daniel Noiseux, owner of well-known Montreal Pizzaiolle restaurants, placed his first concept restaurant at the Old Port in Montreal and is serving fresh, local and gourmet food at reasonable prices. The fact that his Müvbox is portable means he can pick it up and take it anywhere he wants – an outdoor festival, a new venue, a convention. But what we really like about it is with a push of a button, the restaurant goes from closed as tight as a drum to deployed in 1.5 minutes, and with only 3-4 employees the restaurant can be fully open and running in 15 minutes. At the end of the night, take down is just as simple, and all is safe and contained inside.
Müvbox is constructed from a standard 20-foot shipping container and has been retrofitted with a modern kitchen and seating for 28 people. Solar panels on the roof generate 40% of the restaurants energy needs, and most likely the remaining 60% comes from propane to fuel the kitchen appliances. The shipping container is reused and the floor is made from recycled tires. The menu is primarily local, healthy, and fresh, serving local delicacies like, Îles-de-la-Madeleine lobster, Brome Lake duck and Bilboquet ice cream.
Noiseux wants to expand this concept beyond his own restaurant into other local eateries around the world – possibly cupcakes in London, ptarmigan in Reykjavik, sushi in Japan, pizza in New York. But he also thinks that the concept is applicable for other types of businesses, since the shipping containers are completely customizable. We think it is a stellar idea, beautifully executed and refreshingly mouthwatering. In fact, we think we need a field trip to Montreal to sample the goods.

We know, we know — it's basically still summer outside (although, can we talk about the perfect day we're having today?). But, even though the weather hasn't gotten the memo that fall is in the building, we're pretty sure the temps will start to drop any minute now. Hey, a girl can dream, right?So, in the interest of getting into that autumn spirit, we're starting the preparations a little early. We've staked out every apple fest and corn maze in the DMV, gotten our decorative gourds out of storage, and packed up our summer duds. And, to help us through these in-between times — when it's hot during the day, chilly at night, and freezing in our office (really, what is it with that A.C.?) — we turn to layers, layers, layers.

Rooted in humanistic psychology, Saybrook's Clinical Psychology programs study human experience in deeply subjective, historical, contextual, cross-cultural, and spiritual contexts. Each program is designed to promote health and wholeness as practitioners who are positioned to effect positive change through service and leadership in their chosen clinical field.
Our Clinical Psychology students and alumni affect lives and systems through clinical practice and scholarship in diverse settings.

Our faculty offer extensive experience as innovative providers in mental health care and are poised to support clinicians-in-training. We will help you navigate the world of professional development and licensing, while remaining true to a holistic approach to psychology.

- Multicultural Psychology Certificate: This 16-credit Certificate program is designed to help professionals develop a multicultural perspective that is fully appreciative of the cultural diversity that exists within a pluralistic society, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, class, spirituality, and religion, in order to enhance one's ability to develop effective assessment tools, training programs, clinical and community interventions, and governmental and institutional policies.
Important Notes About Licensure
Licensure regulations differ from state to state, and students who wish to pursue licensure are strongly advised to contact the licensing board in the state/province in which they plan to practice in order to obtain the detailed requirements. Students should follow the specific requirements of their chosen state or province (i.e., courses, faculty contact hours, internship) in planning and completing their degree program curriculum.
Saybrook does not have an on-site internship program. Students locate appropriate internships and supervision in their geographic area, working in conjunction with Saybrook's Internship Coordinator.
Oregon's licensing body for psychologists/counselors only licenses individuals who graduate from APA accredited programs.

People notice him when he walks through the F1 paddock. He's very British, to begin with, and he has that unmistakable swagger that goes with being a Grand Prix star – and knowing it. He relishes attention, but sometimes he just loves a bit of peace and quiet.
No, not Lewis Hamilton – Roscoe, that's who we're talking about. Roscoe is the Mercedes star's pet bulldog – the one that has its own F1 paddock pass. Since the start of this year Roscoe's consoling presence has accompanied Lewis Hamilton to most of the places a Formula 1 driver has to go to, which means this is one pooch that goes everywhere in style. Roscoe is one of the features that make Hamilton a one-off among the current crop of Grand Prix drivers, a man apart in many ways, and one who, despite the smiling countenance and the high-profile presence on social media – most recently in a series of tweets relating to his on-off relationship with ex-Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger – remains something of an enigma to many F1 followers.
Can it really be seven years in F1 now for Lewis Hamilton?
It seems like only yesterday that the fresh-faced kid from Britain exploded on to the Grand Prix scene, seizing a podium finish on debut for McLaren right here in Australia. This was the same Lewis Hamilton – Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton, actually, named in recognition of all-round American athletics hero Carl Lewis – who a decade earlier had waltzed up to Ron Dennis and told him he wanted to drive for his F1 team…
The same Lewis Hamilton, too, who had played alongside Ashley Young in their school soccer team: Young now plays for England and was in the Manchester United team beaten by Liverpool at Anfield on the opening day of September. The two have something else in common: they're black.
Perhaps that's why Lewis Hamilton's career was bound to be different. He was trumpeted from the start as 'the first black F1 driver', being of mixed parentage: his mother Carmen Larbalestier was a white Englishwoman, his father Anthony Hamilton the son of British immigrants from Grenada.
The racism issue has reared its unlovely head on more than one occasion in Hamilton's racing life, most notably when he was targeted by Spanish fans at pre-season testing at the Circuit de Catalunya in 2008. But that had more to do with their F1 fortunes than the colour of Lewis's skin.
Hamilton, after all, had re-signed with McLaren on a lucrative five-year deal McLaren while Spaniard Fernando Alonso was shown the door. They had endured a disastrous year together as teammates at McLaren in 2007, Hamilton's rookie season in F1.
Leaving his physical make-up aside, Hamilton has always made a name for himself through his prodigious gifts as a driver. He was a star karter; he was a title-winner in British Formula Renault and in the F3 Euroseries before graduating to then-new F1 feeder category GP2 in 2006 and becoming its second champion – the first was the man who now partners him in F1, Nico Rosberg.
In the Grand Prix world controversy has always been Hamilton's companion. Think back to 2009 and the infamous incident in which he deliberately misled the Melbourne race stewards after an incident with Jarno Trulli; think of 2011 and a season-long series of incidents with Felipe Massa, who famously accused Hamilton of being unable to use his brain; think, more recently, of the decision to leave McLaren, his 'home' for so many years, to seek greater opportunities with Mercedes.
Off-track moments have not been hard to find, either. In late 2007 Hamilton was pinged by French police after being clocked at 196 km/h on one of their autoroutes. Closer to home, on the eve of the 2010 Australian Grand Prix, he attracted the eye and the ire of the local constabulary for what was termed 'deliberately losing traction' in his rental car as he left the Albert Park circuit. "What F1 drivers always used to do," said some… "Hoon," said the magistrate… "Sorry," said Hamilton… "Nanny State," said our own Mark Webber as Lewis was fined $500 and told not to do it again.
Hamilton also failed to endear himself to some in Britain when he elected to move overseas, first to Luins in Switzerland and then to Monaco. "Getting away from the media bunfight," said Lewis; "Avoiding paying taxes in the country that raised him," said the critics.
But perhaps it's time to talk about Lewis Hamilton the F1 driver?
Within 20 months of that thunderous Melbourne debut Hamilton was World Champion – although there, too, he didn't do it the straightforward way. Massa, the man who would become his nemesis a couple of years later, thought he had done enough to win the title by winning the final race of the year in his native Brazil. But half a minute after Felipe's Ferrari crossed the line, so did Lewis's McLaren – and fifth place was all the Englishman needed to become World Champion by a single point.
Many seasoned observers consider Hamilton the fastest man out there and one of the finest racers in the game. He claimed his first F1 pole position in his sixth race, in Montreal in 2007; he used it to great advantage, securing his first Grand Prix victory the next day. Four wins in that maiden year, five wins the next: this was a young man in a hurry. Lewis Hamilton had won 22 times at time of writing. His most recent victory in Hungary before the summer break made him the first British driver to win at the wheel of a Silver Arrow since the legendary Stirling Moss at Aintree way back in 1955.
Moss never did win the World Championship; it's the frustration of having won it only once, and that title being already five years in the past, that goded Hamilton into leaving what many saw as the safe haven of McLaren for the 'alien' environment of Mercedes.
"I believe that the combination of Lewis and Nico will be the most dynamic and exciting pairing on the grid next year," said Ross Brawn when news of Hamilton's impending arrival broke. And Brawn was right: in 2013, up to the Belgian Grand Prix, the two old pals had claimed nine pole positions and three race victories between them, with the promise of more to come at Merc-friendly tracks like Singapore.
So far, it's Lewis who's having the last laugh. And Roscoe hasn't stopped smiling since that paddock pass first dangled round his British bulldog neck…

We've always wanted to get married at the Four Seasons restaurant. That's just so glam. And for spring '12, Dana Lorenz, the designer behind Fenton, did exactly that, with a breathtaking presentation featuring models dressed in white, standing stock-still at the end of an aisle of gladioli. Set against ethereal music, we couldn't but help say "I do," to the massive art deco-inspired statement necklaces, earrings, and cuffs that channel Ocean Drive, Miami, circa 1930. Lorenz manages to turn up the heat, all while staying true to her signature pairings of unexpected elements, which include rope, chains, pearls, and spikes (don't be scared—it's really very weirdly romantic). Fenton's inspiration also mined the sensual and abstract paintings of Cecily Brown, selecting a color palette that resembles much of the artist's work—think shades of aqua blue, bright yellow, coral, and beige. The overall effect is elegantly jarring; Muted colors contrasts with the sharper edges of geometric shapes and hardware. Hey Gaga, meet Grace Kelly. Dana, where's our engagement ring?

Recipe by WINEANDCHEESE
"Dates are stuffed with blue cheese, wrapped in bacon and baked until crisp. These are delicious and very easy to make for a party. You can serve them at room temperature, so it is okay to make a few hours in advance!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
sliced bacon, cut in half
1 pound
pitted dates
4 ounces
blue cheese
These dates are served at a downtown tapas restaurant in Atlanta; a friend of mine who raved about them taled me into trying one although I have never particularly cared for dates. I am so happy I did. These are wonderful, easy to make and your guests will be coming back for more - that is if you want to serve them to guests - I might be inclined to keep them all for myself. A good glass of red wine and you have a real treat!
Note: the restaurant mentioned grills theirs to the point where the bacon becomes blackened on the top. Either way, if you grill or bake them, I suggest doing so on a rack so that they don't sit any grease that comes from the bacon.
These were good, but the bacon wrapped dates stuffed with almonds were by far the bigger hit at the party ... even the blue cheese fanatics prefered the "crunch" of the almond stuffed version. Good, but will stick to the other (which were easier to work with as well).

I read all of the reviews before making this recipe and decided to try all recommended variations because it is such an easy recipe. I have to say, either way you go, any variation is delicious: blue cheese, ricotta, gorgonzola, adding brown sugar, wine reduction and almonds. BUT...I think my favorite is the bacon rolled in brown sugar, stuffed with smoked almonds and blue cheese with a wine reduction. It is much tastier with the brown sugar, believe me! I think my second favoriate was the dates stuffed with ricotta. But regardless of the cheese you use - you can't go wrong, I would definitely add almonds to the mix, as the crunch is very nice. Enjoy!
my cousin made these for the holidays '2007' but what she did, was she reduced balsamic vinegar to a thick sauce..and used it for dipping..OMG!!! IT WAS HEAVEN...two dozen were gone in 15 minutes!!!!
These are absolutely heavenly! I did a test-run before the party... my guess is they'll be gorgeous with a champagne cocktail or a nice white wine (even a Chardonnay might be good). I tried some with Old Amsterdam cheese (like Gouda) and some with almonds - both turned out great! I used Medjool dates, which are very plump and rich. Also, I found that there was no real need to use a toothpick - the bacon stayed wrapped by itself. Lastly, I baked them on a broil pan so the bacon grease had a place to drip into. I can't wait to serve these to my guests! :)
Oh. My. God.
I've always ordered these at one of my favorite tapas restaurants here in Chicago. So this past weekend I decided to make some for a cocktail party I was hosting. Instead of blue cheese, I filled the dates with slivered almonds and baked them for 20 minutes in a 450 degree oven. They turned out crispy and delicious. A HUGE hit with my guests.
I did make modifications to mine since I don't like blue cheese, so my rating doesn't apply to that part.
It's a great base recipe to try different stuffing in the dates. I used feta and slivered almonds and they fit perfectly in the dates.
The cooking and the directions worked great. The cheese stayed put and the dates were delicious.
I used skewers and put 5-6 dates on one skewer to save toothpicks and the amount of time I had to flip each date. I just had to flip the skewers and it was easy to pop the dates off and put them in a dish.
Putting them on a skewer also helped keep the bacon stay put.
So tasty! Thanks for sharing!

Camping and Staging area change....
A real military unit has need of the base camp/staging area we used for Op Irene 4 and 5 on the same weekend as OPI 7 is scheduled. Given this situation, we will using the area nearer to the AO that we used for this purpose for Op Irene 3, for those who remember. This area is a big open field, some dirt and some grassy areas. It is much larger than the other area, but it does not have an electricy nor does it have a shower house. We will have lighting and port-0-johns on site, as usual. We apologize for any inconvenience in advance and hope you understand the real units take priority in this training environment. On a good note however, this area is much much closer to the AO....within walking distance even
Please see the "General Site Event Site Orientation and Safety" post for updated information on this, and times concerning walking the AO after check in on Friday. Thanks.
