Hey, Soldier. Your Fly Is Down.
Please turn your attention to the gentleman on the right, in the slightly less unfortunate of the two ensembles before us. He is Marine Corps veteran Mark Geist, and if you'll look carefully, his fly is down.

In a move that has left some of its members disgruntled, the U.S. Marines Corps has decided to make a number of their service titles gender neutral by removing the word "man" from combat jobs—and as you might have guessed by now, some dudes be angry.
Two marines are under investigation for uploading a photo to social media in which they allegedly threatened to attack gay bars—all less than a week after the shooting at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, which has been deemed the worst mass shooting by a single gunman in U.S. history.
During today's Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on women in combat two top generals said that women should be required to register for the Selective Service, along with men, as the branches begin to integrate women into combat roles.
About an hour before the ball dropped in Times Square last night, the always charming and charismatic Ted Cruz, who is definitely not a dozen lizards wearing a human skin suit, went on Fox News to deliver a message, in the form of a parable.
A bodybuilder formerly known as Matt Kroczaleski has come out as transgender, and now goes by the name Janae Marie Kroc. The Daily News reports that—in addition to being a champion powerlifter, cancer survivor, and former U.S. Marine—Kroc takes Grade A selfies, which you can find on her Instagram account.
Until recently, women could enlist in the Marines, but they couldn't serve in active combat. Now the government agency is hoping to lure recruits with its, "A Few Good Women" campaign—or are they?
Prosecutors in the Philippines have filed murder charges in a regional court today against a US Marine accused of brutally murdering a woman in October. He is being held without bail.
One year ago this month, I was invited to meet with the White House about the crisis of sexual assault in the military. The meeting was rushed, and had the feeling of a pre-Christmas publicity stunt. The President was nowhere to be seen. His senior advisors insisted that the Commander in Chief cared about the issue…
Women were first allowed to enroll in the US Marines (for clerical duty) in 1918. Over 300 of them entered the Corps that year, and they were immediately nicknamed the "Marinettes."
Today brings not one but two news stories about opportunities opening up for women in the U.S. military.
Brian Jones, a Marine Corps veteran and the editor-in-chief of Task & Purpose, is tired of military leaders' indifference to systemic online sexism.
It has been more than three weeks since Twentynine Palms, California, resident Erin Corwin went missing, and law enforcement has been focusing the investigation on Christopher Brandon Lee, a married ex-Marine with whom Corwin (also married) was having an affair. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department has…
Female Marines have already begun proving their combat ability with eighty-five women making it through the infantry training course last fall. But doubts still remain about their ability to meet the same standards a men—a question largely of physical strength.
It's strange to think of a soldier — a tough, fit, well-oiled machine charged with helping and defending — as being able to perform those duties while voluntarily vomiting five times a day. But that describes Marine Theresa Larson.
In November, the Marines announced that they'd pushed back a new requirement for women in the Marines to complete the same physical fitness test as men by January 2014. That standard has been pushed back yet again because more than half of female Marines cannot complete the three pull-ups demanded of men and women.
Yesterday, Fox News and The New York Post both reported on a rumor that President Obama had issued an order to change the hats worn by the male members of the Marines to ones that was more "unisex" in appearance. Those serving in the Marines were apparently furious, with one anonymous serviceman (who may or may not…
This hardly makes the rocketing sexual assault statistics and myriad gross scandals surrounding military women and the officers who tape them in the shower any less disheartening, but it's a start? A replica of the famous Molly Marine statue, erected during World War II and modeled physically after a female Marine who…
Alex Minsky — the Marine-turned-underwear model we sorta have a crush on — was pretty charming on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night, though clearly very nervous and fidgety (his mom was in the audience and he kept looking to her!). Leno asked him how he got sober and Minksy said, "I don't know. It wasn't my…
Remember Alex Minsky? Today did a profile on him this morning.

Two ministers in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Cabinet refused to rule out the possibility Thursday that they would visit the war-linked Yasukuni Shrine in central Tokyo on Aug. 15, the 68th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II.
After Abe said earlier this week he would not prevent his ministers from visiting the shrine, while declining comment on whether he would do so himself, Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Yoshitaka Shindo and administrative reform minister Tomomi Inada both said they will decide later whether or not to visit it.
Inada also told reporters she thinks it "permissible as a (citizen of a) sovereign state to offer thanks and respect to people who sacrificed their lives for the state."
"I will decide and act appropriately as a Cabinet member," she said.
Shindo told a separate news conference he is currently considering whether to visit the shrine where his ancestors are enshrined, noting that he has repeatedly done so.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, who is top government spokesman, told his morning news conference that he would not make any comment on whether or not Cabinet ministers should visit the shrine.
Japan's neighbors, such as China and South Korea, view the Yasukuni Shrine, which honors 14 Class A war criminals as well as millions of Japan's war dead, as a symbol of Japan's militarism and have criticized previous visits to the shrine by prime ministers and lawmakers.
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso, who visited the shrine in April during its annual spring festival, said he would not visit the shrine on the anniversary, noting that he has rarely done so on Aug. 15.
Reconstruction Minister Takumi Nemoto said he has already visited the shrine this summer.
National Public Safety Commission Chairman Keiji Furuya, who also visited the shrine in April, just said he would take a "timely and appropriate decision," while five more ministers including Justice Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki and Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida did not make clear comments.
Six other ministers, meanwhile, made clear that they have no plans to visit the shrine on the anniversary: economic revitalization minister Akira Amari; Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera; Ichita Yamamoto, minister in charge of Okinawa and Northern Territories affairs; Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Toshimitsu Motegi; Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Minister Akihiro Ota; and Environment Minister Nobuteru Ishihara.

The film culminates in an armed mission to rescue the hostage. This climactic sequence is the epitome of suspense, and its realistic planning and operation would have put a smile even to Tom Clancy's face. Here, the filmmakers have produced a sensational outcome without resorting to sensationalism, and that has made all the difference.
The three lead characters share the load of carrying the film. Russell Crowe's character is a professional hostage negotiator, who travels the world arranging high-level, often dangerous, extractions. David Morse's character works as an engineer for humanitarian projects, and that involvement has taken him and his wife (Meg Ryan) to a country called Tecala in the South American highlands. This couple is situated in a mountainous area filled with cocaine farms and the criminals who run them--criminals who happen upon Morse, and see him as easy money.
Just prior to Morse's kidnapping, we're clued in to the loose ends in the Morse-Ryan marriage. Of course, these ends are left flapping by the unexpected and horrendous kidnap.
The way Morse portrays his character is appealing. He comes across as a decent, grounded man who's deeply committed to humanitarian work, but who's also nobody's fool. In the early part of the movie, I expected to also like Morse's wife (Ryan), but I didn't. Instead, Ryan's character seemed immature, inconsistent, and off balance. I knew the movie blurb had given away that the negotiator falls in love with the wife, so in the early parts, I often thought to myself: he falls in love with that??Read more ›

"Everyone" has auditioned for Star Wars: Episode VII, according to actress Saoirse Ronan. Everyone except James McAvoy, it seems.
The X-Men: Days of Future Past actor recently appeared on the Empire Podcast, talking about his return to the world of mutants and mind-control, among other topics. He was also asked about potential interest or involvement in Star Wars, as all actors will inevitably be asked until a cast is locked in place. Here's his answer:
"I have not auditioned for Star Wars. Something is rotten in the state of equity, I'm telling you. No. Although I have just been working with one of the writers of the new series, Simon Kinberg. I slipped him a couple of coffees, felt his bum a wee bit, you know what I mean? 'Any chance big man?' So yeah, I've put in the work.
To recap: McAvoy has not auditioned for Star Wars, but he's willing to squeeze a few rear-ends to get the job done. That's what people in the business call "dedication."
(via Comic Book Therapy)
Make it happen!
Would be perfect as the "good" Jedi like Ewan McGregor's young Obi Wan. Would be rather excellent
OR (would take a little imagination) but I could actually see him playing young Qui Gon in a Qui Gon Jinn origin story

The result, while not horrifically bad, is as mediocre a campaign as you're likely to find on adsoftheworld this year. It's tough to hate the ads because they don't generate enough emotion for that kind of passion.

When To Contact A Plumbing Service For Standard Repairs
Someone may discover a small leak in their home or perhaps have a different minimal domestic plumbing concern and not desire to browse around for plumbers near me to make an effort to find a person who is able to take care of it rapidly. Of course, hiring a plumber may be expensive. Usually, a plumbing service is going to be well worth the expense as they can complete the fundamental maintenance very easily and cheaply in comparison to more costly repairs.
In case an individual tries to correct it on their own, they could find they have to have special gear or that they don't possess the skills or even understanding to accomplish the repair. For instance, the home owner could have a sink that ceases draining. They can pour chemical substances down it with no effect and the equipment they may have on hand may not be able to make it to the issue. Rather, they'll call a plumbing service to deal with what really should be a fundamental repair. The plumbing technician might find, on the other hand, that the repair is a lot more complex than it at first looked because the clog is very low in the water lines or even the effect of a damaged pipe under the residence.
When it comes to basic fixes, calling a local plumber is generally a good idea. They may be in a position to help someone get the repairs done much faster and they're going to have the ability to be sure the maintenance are actually concluded before they leave.

It's go time! The puck drops on the 2011-12 NHL season Thursday, and the Fantasy Forecaster is making its triumphant return just in time to help guide you through the grid known as the NHL schedule. A quick refresher/introduction to the Forecaster: We take as much available data as possible to generate a matchup formula based on season-long and recent trends in goals, shots and special-teams production. The resulting calculations provide a rating for offense and defense for each team in each game in the week ahead. A 10 in offense means goals will abound. A 10 in defense means good plus/minus and goaltending is in store. An addition to the Forecaster this year is a helpful chart showing the hottest teams in the league for goals and shots on both sides of the puck.
Remember to swallow a grain of salt with the Forecaster, though. Even the best available data isn't going to give you a lock in any situation (we'd take this thing to Vegas if it did). What the Forecaster does is provide a handful of choice free agents during the short term, help you play it safe with goaltending starts, identify matchups to take advantage of in daily-roster leagues and a whole series of other fantasy inclinations. But it's still just a guide, and if the New York Rangers have a 10 on offense in a certain game, that's no guarantee they'll score six goals. It just means it's more likely to happen, given the team's recent production, than a shutout.
In the past, we used to suggest you take additional salt crystals before reading early-season editions of the Forecaster because part of the formula is weighed for season-long data and part is weighed for the past three weeks. Since neither of those factors include a large sample size at the start of the season, we used numbers from the previous season. Of course, you can imagine the trouble with using numbers from last season. Heck, more than half the Florida Panthers starting roster wasn't even there last season. But this season we are using preseason data to help bolster the Forecaster for the first few weeks of the campaign. Now, we know there can be just as many issues with preseason data, but the relevance of using games that were played just a couple of days ago feels a lot more useful than using numbers from last season. So rather than have to wait for the Forecaster to become a strong tool, we think it should be pointing out good matchups right from the get-go this season.
Also note a new section at the bottom for ESPN.com's newest fantasy game, the Hockey Challenge. This salary-cap style game plays perfectly into the data and recommendations that flow from the Forecaster already. It's a natural fit to add some tips at the bottom for weekly lineup changes in that game.
Without further ado, here's the double-decker Fantasy Forecaster for the extended first week of the 2011-12 season:
"O" (offense) and "D" (defense) matchup ratings are based upon a scale from 1 (poor matchup) to 10 (excellent matchup) and are calculated using a formula that evaluates the team's year-to-date and past 21 days' statistics, their performance in home/road games depending on where the game is to be played, as well as their opponents' numbers in those categories. The Games T / H column lists the team's total number of games played as well as home games (T / H), and lists the cumulative rating from 1-10 of that week's matchups.
Offensive highlights
Chicago Blackhawks: The Hawks begin the season with a two-game series with the Dallas Stars, followed by games against the Winnipeg Jets and Boston Bruins. The Forecaster pegs the contests as a solid chance for the Hawks to come out of the gate strong on offense. The Patrick Kane-at-center experiment appears to be a success so far and should carry over into the regular season. That means Andrew Brunette and Marian Hossa should get a bump in value as this trio looks just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than the line of Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp and "insert winger here" (it looks like a race between Michael Frolik, Viktor Stalberg and Bryan Bickell). Brunette is available in about 75 percent of ESPN leagues if you want to give him a tryout.
Vancouver Canucks: The defending Western Conference champs have five games in the first fantasy period of the season and rate as highly as a team can rate on the Forecaster. Both Ryan Kesler and Mason Raymond are starting the season on the sidelines, which means rookie Cody Hodgson has a wide-open door to show what he can do in the NHL. Hodgson will start the season as the second-line center on a unit with Mikael Samuelsson and Marco Sturm, and he'll be in line for power-play time on the second unit. Hodgson has the talent, but will he seize the opportunity? With a good schedule for the first week, you may need to grab him now to stay ahead of the competition. Hodgson is available in 98 percent of ESPN leagues.
Detroit Red Wings: With three of four matchups to start the season against goaltenders ranked outside the top 15 in fantasy, it's little wonder the Wings have a positive opening Forecaster prediction. Valtteri Filppula looks like one of the best bets who might be available in your league (95 percent of ESPN leagues, anyway). Filppula has six preseason points in four games playing on a line with Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen that, on paper, might be the Red Wings' best scoring line. While that position on the depth chart is hardly set in stone, it was the team's best line in exhibition games. Filppula does have playmaking qualities and is a good fit for scoring linemates such as Zetterberg and Franzen. The other recommended pickup (and a player you might not drop again) is Ian White. It appears as though White is solidified as Nicklas Lidstrom's defense partner, and the combination has been together both on and off the power play. White is available in 55 percent of ESPN leagues, but as the Wings' No. 2 defenseman, he deserves to be universally owned.
Offensive Lowlights
Edmonton Oilers: Starting the season with games against Marc-Andre Fleury and Roberto Luongo isn't the best scenario, and there will be a lot on the line for some members of this club. The Oilers also have a game against the Minnesota Wild in a light three-game schedule during the extended first week of the fantasy season. Those three games represent one-third of the opportunity Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has to prove his worth. The No. 1 overall pick from the 2011 NHL draft will begin the season with the big club and has nine games before the Oilers can send him back to junior without burning a year of his entry-level contract. RNH led the Oilers in preseason scoring and clicked on a line with sophomores Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle. Even though the Oilers have a terrible rating on the Forecaster, you might want to consider stashing Nugent-Hopkins during his trial run. He is still available in 88 percent of ESPN leagues.
Toronto Maple Leafs: Tim Connolly is expected to be healthy for the Leafs' first game of the season. The Leafs have only three games during the first fantasy scoring period, but three games will go a long way toward showing how well the line of Connolly, Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul can produce. This unit looks perfect on paper, but paper is not ice. Though you might want to hold off on a move right away because of the schedule, keep an eye on the line's production during the first few games. While Kessel and Connolly are almost universally owned, Lupul is available in almost 90 percent of ESPN leagues. And if Kessel and Connolly do well, Lupul will be along for the ride.
Defensive Highlights
Pittsburgh Penguins: Fleury and the Penguins have a solid defensive forecast to begin the season, with six games total, including contests against the Calgary Flames, Oilers and Panthers. With Sidney Crosby officially on the injured reserve to start the season, defensively adept Jordan Staal will likely begin the season as the second-line center. Combine Staal's two-way prowess with offense from wingers like Tyler Kennedy or Steve Sullivan, and you have a pretty potent combination for plus/minus. Toss in the strong Forecaster rating and you have some players worth plugging into your lineup. At least until Crosby is ready to play, Staal should be worth your time as the Pens' No. 2 behind Evgeni Malkin.
Washington Capitals: Tomas Vokoun's tenure as the Caps' goaltender should begin on a positive note. Games against the Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning, Penguins and Ottawa Senators give the Capitals a good defensive forecast for the first scoring period. That also means solid plus/minus ratings for a team that is expected to score a lot of goals this season. Troy Brouwer, Troy Brouwer, Troy Brouwer. Maybe saying his name three times, a la "Beetlejuice," will get him noticed in more leagues. Brouwer has been the only constant (beside Alex Ovechkin) through the preseason linemate combinations employed by coach Bruce Boudreau. And Brouwer is a good bet to get in on the plus/minus action as much as anybody and is still available in 98 percent of ESPN leagues.
Defensive Lowlights:
Colorado Avalanche: Five games, including four on the road and one against the defending Stanley Cup champion, equals a low defensive rating for the Avalanche. If you drafted Semyon Varlamov and have a good feeling about him as your No. 2 fantasy goalie, consider this a Forecaster warning to take the relationship slowly. The first two games are against the Red Wings and Bruins. Maybe sit Varlamov this week and see how he handles those two contests before deciding if he's safe to leave in your lineup most of the time.
Winnipeg Jets: The Jets kick-start their new franchise with only three games in the first fantasy scoring period, including poorly rated contests at home against the Montreal Canadiens and on the road against the Blackhawks. Ondrej Pavelec and the offense both have a lot to prove before they can be considered regular fantasy starters, and this slow start won't help them get there. One thing to consider is that first-round pick Mark Scheifele was signed to an entry-level deal Monday and will start the season with the Jets. Scheifele is second in the NHL for preseason scoring and is worth keeping an eye on during his nine-game tryout.
Who's Hot/Not
This chart will stay up-to-date during the season to show you the hottest and coldest teams in the NHL for scoring and shots on goal during the past three weeks. It is one more Forecaster-generated tool we can use to spot good matchups. In this case, the statistics used to draw up the table are from the preseason. Still, we can point out facts like this one: The Anaheim Ducks have allowed the third-most goals per game in the preseason and have a matchup with the San Jose Sharks, who have scored the second-most goals per game in exhibition play. That likely will be a good game to test out someone like Benn Ferriero, who hasn't left the side of Logan Couture and Ryane Clowe all preseason and has 11 shots on goal in four games.
This section will also be a chance to point out some hot lines, such as the rejuvenated combination of Mike Ribeiro and Michael Ryder. Separated since they were both Habs in 2005-06, Ribeiro and Ryder have been lighting up the preseason. Ribeiro leads the league with 10 points while Ryder has six, and the two have played only four preseason games. Ryder is available in more than 90 percent of ESPN leagues.
Or we can use this section to point out goaltenders who may be getting thrown to the wolves of late. Niklas Backstrom faced 108 shots in the preseason and managed a save percentage of .898. That is the kind of low rating, to go with a high shot count, that can devastate your average. Based on the numbers, and the idea that the Wild will play a more offensive game, it's looking like Backstrom isn't even a No. 2 goalie anymore.
Hockey Challenge
And here we have a look at some good Hockey Challenge bargains -- players to sell and some one-week rental options for the new salary-cap game here at ESPN.com.
Weekly bargain: Here we are with a fresh slate to work with, making picking that best bargain a wide-open decision. Remember that salaries in this game will be influenced by the market (actual production and demand for a player's services), so now is the best time to lock in your personal favorite sleeper before he starts producing in the NHL and the demand for his services starts to rise (therefore making his salary rise). One bargain-basement price that is hard to ignore is Peter Mueller at $5.7 million. Mueller was a point-per-game producer with the Avalanche before a concussion in late 2009-10 knocked him out for the entire 2010-11 season. He is back and healthy, and is working on the same line as Matt Duchene and Milan Hejduk. That's the same line Mueller netted 20 points with in 15 games in that 2010 stint with the Avs.
Rentals: The Penguins are the best early-season rentals for the Hockey Challenge lineup. While some teams have only three games in the first scoring period, and most have four or five contests, the Penguins are the only team with six games. Evgeni Malkin ($8.7M), Marc-Andre Fleury ($12.2M) and Kris Letang ($7.5M) should be staples of your lineup this week. Suggested sleepers from the Pens would be Steve Sullivan ($6M), Jordan Staal ($5.2M) and Paul Martin ($5.6M).

"The study of APD has for too long been preoccupied with liberalism. This book makes a critical contribution to APD by brilliantly addressing the impact of conservatism. It is comprehensive in scope and displays a keen grasp of the critical, theoretical, historical, and institutional questions at stake. It is a must read for all serious students of APD."--Marc Landy, Professor of Political Science, Boston College
"In the able hands of editors Brian Glenn and Steve Teles, Conservatism and American Political Development shows exactly how crucial conservatives have been in shaping the modern state. In careful studies of three central policy areas, conservatives appear no longer as the "cardboard-cutout villains" but rather as the leading characters. Smart and fresh, this volume is a must read for understanding the character, transformation, and persistent influence of contemporary conservatism."--Meg Jacobs, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"Glenn and Teles have compiled a highly instructive volume on the post-New Deal trajectory of public policy and political development in crucial political arenas. The authors' careful micro-studies provide an important corrective to standard accounts of liberal dominance and subsequent retrenchment--without giving conservative triumphalists much to cheer about."--Michael Greve, American Enterprise Institute
About the Author
Brian J. Glenn is an American Political Development scholar and Assistant Professor of Political Science at Emerson College. He previously taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Hamilton College, and has received awards from the New England Political Science Association, the Law & Society Association, and the American Risk and Insurance Association.

Keep us posted aym during the summer to see how they progress. Agree with GD, it's the roots that are most important right now with hellebores esp so I would pot on asap
Green Magpie I think that's rather an odd conclusion. B & Q would be in big, big trouble if there chippings were so toxic
Either 1634 Racine but now I would wait until end of August . Divide into 3 and plant out as a group for terrific impact next year.
I was a bit lazy there...microphylla Violin Music. Yes, odd name but a beauty with different sort of blue colour. More woody as with all micro's
My, Caroline ...you are toooooo keen
for the very best cosmos have patience. The sequence of regular pinching back and frequent potting on will produce fantastic cosmos. Don't let them flower at all for a few weeks and you will be pleased with yourself.
in summer my cosmos are 4' plus tall, big and bushy and self supporting and flowering then well into autumn.
(Don't tell Sue but I don't let mine flower )
Caradonna is best divided 1634 Racine and, yes, it is as tough as old boots
Oooooo, no sun this morning and a little rain ....pleased cos needed that.
sun is now out and looking good so hoping to do something in the garden
popped into nursery earlier......took advantage of 10% discount off. A couple (more) restios interest me. Have tectorium (dwarf form)
havent seen many slugs or snails so far...only those hiding under pots....but will have to start my night vigils soon
Looks like I need to take advice from you then Sue
i have a couple of pretty big ones but I cut them back every year to produce bushy plants as well as giving me cuttings for more plants
Have to worry sometimes or they wont grow and you will have wasted your money landlubber
I don't "worry" but I do care that anything I have will thrive
Sanjy, It won't want much water over winter....just don't let it dry out totally.
take your cuttings as early as poss to create a decent size plant to over winter.
Yes, the blues are best. blue varieties of salvia are many....patens varieties,,cacalifolia, microphylla blue note, micro violin music, guanjuato, uliginosa,,guaranitica, Amistad although this is really purple and more. plus the hardy ones
Have them all...tee hee hee

It did seem as though, once I was on the radar, a sort of evaluation took place to determine if I posed some kind of a "threat" to the system. It also seemed that my complete lack of fear went a long way to bringing attention to myself. However, this same fearlessness seems to have earned me a certain level of "respect," as though my evaluators were testing my resistance to scare tactics.

There is a point at which you would have been scared, if they had chosen to take it that far. That they didn't choose to is something else to contemplate I guess.
Anonymous Coward 38706893
This I do not agree with. I was "put through hell" and there were definitely measures employed to make me afraid. However, my curiosity drove me and blocked any fear which could've arisen. Like I said, whatever I was dealing with seemed to be only antagonistic to measure my level of dedication. These "forces" did not seem malevolent in any way. If I had to use a word to describe the "mean" ones it would be "assholes." Not evil...just dicks. And more playful than anything. I believe those who become afraid are only experiencing said fear base on their own interpretations of what is happening.

Changing the Default Search Engine in Google Chrome and Chromium
Productivity Sauce
I have to admit, I kind of like the new Blekko search engine. Maybe when the novelty wears off, I'll go back to Google, but for now, I keep Blekko as my default search engine in Chromium. If you are using Google Chrome or Chromium as your browser of choice, you can, too, replace the default Google search engine with Blekko -- or any other search service for that matter. To do this, click on the Wrench icon, choose Options, and switch to the Basics section. Press the Manage button next to the Default Search drop-down list, hit Add, and fill out the fields as shown on the screenshot below:
Press Add to save the new engine and close the window. Now select the added engine and hit the Make Default button. That's all there is to it. In a similar manner, you can add other search engines. The only thing you need is a search URL used by the specific engine.comments powered by Disqus

Watch out there are going to be a ton of comments to your post questioning your manhood for not going outside and cooking when it is freezing outside. I agree with you. It is just too damn cold.
I have not even gone outside for a cigar.hapster said:Spend some of that take out budget on a good set of Carharts and get outside and egg... That's one of the biggest benefits of owning the egg, the ability to eat great food in any weather, even during power outages...
You can do it!!
I gotta go home and drop starter cubes down my top vent to get here unfrozen then tolerate -20 deg C temps and snow squals to cook two spatch chickens but im going to do it one way or another!!

The second I did on the egg (lid off) but I think it would still be good in the oven...just missing a little of the smoke flavor.
I have one, and while it works well to take the chill off, when it gets really cold, like it has been lately, you need to remember to bring the propane take in to the house to warm up for a few hours first. And I don't really like having a propane tank inside...A really cold propane tank just doesn't work right.FearlessTheEggNoob said:How about picking up a patio infrared heater? Some can get pretty toasty if you can block the wind. They've come down in price quite a bit in the last few years. Just be mindful of making it a fire safe setup.

That would be a great plan. I don't have a few hours let alone time for a low and slow. Kids sports, work, etc. I get a few minutes here and there and when I get a little time it's too freaking cold to play with the egg.hapster said:
If you want to keep the weight off bad enough... you'll find a way to get egging.
Why do you need a 6 hour window? Take an hour adjust and prep the egg, get her lit, up to temp and throw a butt on with a Maverick that you can glance at from inside your house. Go for a long low & slow that will yield you plenty of low carb delicious meat that you can eat for a few days

Seahawks make roster moves official: Clemons and Hauschka to IR, Chukwurah and Longwell signed
As expected, the Seahawks made a pair of roster moves Wednesday, placing defensive end Chris Clemons and kicker Steven Hausckha on injured reserve. To replace those two, the Seahawks signed Patrick Chukwurah, a 33-year-old pass rusher who has been out of the NFL since 2008 and veteran kicker Ryan Longwell. Longwell, 38, is a 15-year NFL veteran but was not in the league this season.

Vt. ponders community placements for inmatesThe Associated Press | September 17,2013MONTPELIER - A panel of Vermont lawmakers is grappling with a tough question: how the state can provide community placements for people with mental health or other disabilities who are coming out of the state's prisons.
State officials say it can cost $300,000 to $400,000 per year to provide one-on-one care for some people with what the Corrections Department calls "serious functional impairments" as they near the ends of their prison terms and move into the community.
A special legislative study committee is taking testimony on the issues on Tuesday.

What if a Pension Shift Hit Lawmakers, Too?
Published: March 9, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
Now the Bush administration has proposed regulations that would settle the issue, laying out basic rules for making cash-balance conversions legal. Public comment will be accepted until Thursday, and hearings are scheduled for April 9. If the proposed regulations take effect, the moratorium will be lifted.
CRITICS of cash-balance plans fear that an end to the moratorium would prompt a flood of pension conversions. They and their advocates in Congress doubt that the regulations would adequately protect older workers.
''There are millions and millions of workers today who are scared to death that the pensions they have been promised, that they have worked their whole life for, will not come through,'' said Representative Bernard Sanders, a Vermont independent who has long opposed cash-balance pension conversions.
Proponents of cash-balance pensions have argued that conversions are usually harmless. They note that some companies have voluntarily sweetened their cash-balance plans after older workers complained.
In general, members of Congress who have served the longest would face the greatest losses if they were given a cash-balance payout.
Patrick J. Purcell, the Congressional Research Service economist who conducted the study, said he worked with each lawmaker's age and years of service without knowing whom the numbers applied to, ''so there would be less reason for people to question the results.''
He then used standard actuarial methods to compress each pension -- normally taken as a lifelong stream of monthly checks -- into a lump-sum payment.
Calculating the lump-sum value made comparison possible with cash-balance benefits, which are normally given in a single payment.
Mr. Purcell then calculated what the lawmakers' hypothetical cash-balance benefit would be if they had had such a pension from the day they entered Congress. That approach made for a more straightforward comparison and possibly gave an advantage to the cash-balance plan. In practice, some of the most harmful effects of pension conversions occur because employees undergo the change at midcareer.
MR. PORTMAN, the Ohio Republican, was unavailable for comment on the study. But a spokesman, Jim Morrell, noted that in 2001, Mr. Portman sponsored legislation requiring companies to notify employees of the way their benefits would be affected in cash-balance conversions. That bill is now law.
Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa and chairman of the Finance Committee, earned a pension worth $508,266 under the existing plan, based on an age of 70 and 18 years of service. Under a cash-balance plan, he would have received only $161,623, according to the study.
Mr. Grassley is also the former chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging and is active on pension issues. A spokeswoman, Jill Gerber, said Mr. Grassley could not comment on the new findings without seeing the study.
The study also found that Representative Tom DeLay, the House majority leader, had earned a benefit worth $608,143 at the end of 2002 under the current plan. In a cash-balance plan, Mr. DeLay, a Texas Republican, would receive $251,086, or 59 percent less, based on an age of 56 and 18 years of service.
Mr. DeLay did not respond to a request for comment.
Representative J. Dennis Hastert, the House speaker, qualified for a Congressional pension worth $540,572 at the end of 2002. He would qualify for $164,455 in a typical cash-balance plan, the study found, based on an age of 61 and 16 years of service .
Mr. Hastert's press secretary, John Feehery, questioned whether it was fair to single out members of Congress for scrutiny when the entire federal compensation system is skewed toward smaller paychecks and larger pensions compared with the private sector.
''The Treasury Department and Congress are looking at ways to make sure that any conversion is fair,'' he added. ''But on the other hand, many companies, given the economic downturn, are faced with the possibility of not being able to offer any plan at all. And that also would be bad for employees.''
Ms. Gerber noted that pension conversions in Iowa, Senator Grassley's state, generally make it clear that companies are backing away from traditional pensions. In the mid-1970's, there were about 1,100 pension plans in Iowa, she said, but now there are fewer than 400. With some companies deciding not to offer any pensions at all, she said, Mr. Grassley sees a need to find some balance between protecting workers' benefits and offering employers incentives to stay in the pension system.
''The anti-cash-balance people are just anti-cash-balance,'' she said. ''But if you just make cash-balance plans illegal, what are the plan sponsors going to do?''
The Congressional Research Service, a nonpartisan branch of the Library of Congress, did the study at the request of Mr. Sanders, who has introduced legislation opposing cash-balance conversions in the past -- none of it successful. He said he hoped the new findings would ''show the hypocrisy'' of colleagues who would let other people undergo pension conversions but would not have to suffer ill effects themselves.
''If they think a cash-balance plan is good enough for American workers, why don't they convert their own pensions?'' he asked in an interview.
HE said he intended to introduce legislation this week that would force Congress to put its money where its mouth is: it would require the conversion of all Congressional pensions to the cash-balance type if the legislators allow the administration's proposed regulations to go forward.
Mr. Sanders himself would lose 72 percent of his pension if that happened. Based on an age of 61, with 12 years of service, he qualified for a $416,159 lump-sum payment at the end of 2002. In a cash-balance model, he would have received $115,850.
He would not comment on the prospects for his cash-balance legislation. Perhaps more pragmatically, he said he would also introduce legislation to require companies converting their pensions to let each worker choose whether to keep the old plan or go with the cash-balance plan.
Some companies have done this voluntarily, he noted.
''Kodak has done that,'' he said. ''Motorola has done that. CSX, which is the new secretary of the Treasury's company,'' had done that, he said, referring to John W. Snow, who was chief executive of CSX, the railway company, before Mr. Bush appointed him in December to replace Paul H. O'Neill. As Treasury secretary, Mr. Snow has authority over the proposed regulations.
All of those companies converted, Mr. Sanders said, ''but they gave workers the choice.''

CHICAGO—Shared office spaces have become quite popular in the CBDs of many cities, especially top-tier real estate markets like New York and San Francisco, but the founders of Assemble, the newest such space in Chicago, believe a demand exists in neighborhoods outside the downtowns.
"When we did our due diligence, we saw a lot of shared office space in River North," Phil Domenico, the managing member of Assemble, tells GlobeSt.com. But many of the freelancers, contract workers, financial advisors, and other workers for small companies they spoke to needed workspaces closer to home. In many coffee shops across the city, but especially in the Gold Coast, "there are people grinding away, working uncomfortably."
Therefore, Domenico, a project executive with Chicago-based Synergy Construction Group, and the other Assemble partners decided to locate their new business at 1165 N. Clark St. in the Gold Coast and Old Town neighborhoods, the first such facility in the area. As reported in GlobeSt.com, it will open August 1, and they also plan to open a similar space somewhere in the West Loop.
"You will have a copier that works all the time, high-speed Internet that works all the time," he says. Furthermore, occupying a portion of a shared office space gives even the smallest company a professional appearance. "You don't have to say, 'meet me at Starbucks.'"
But the partners have also set their sights beyond Chicago. Once they establish the Chicago locations, Domenico says, "we'll move into other cities, Denver probably being next," but Atlanta, Miami and other smaller markets also remain possibilities. "The top-tier markets are very well-covered by the big players in the shared office space."
Domenico sees Assemble as providing a step-up from co-working spaces, also known as incubators, such as Chicago's 1871. Although these spaces provide a valuable service for start-ups, users tend to work in close quarters in open spaces. "Once you've gained a little traction and hired a few employees, the best environment we've seen is a shared office."
And even though multinational corporations like Regus have dominated this sector for years, Domenico says, they typically provide just a basic office environment. "That formula doesn't work. You need to be able to look at more than a computer screen or drywall." But, in addition to all of the services Assemble will provide, tenants will also have private, glass-walled offices that will provide quiet and privacy, but also allow natural light to flow in.
Domenico points to NeueHouse, a work collective in New York that provides well-designed office spaces and common areas for groups of up to ten people, as a model. "They, along with us, have gotten the formula right."
Assemble's 13,000-square-foot shared space will provide office tenants with free parking, event space, free Wi-Fi, printing and copying, conference rooms, networking events, happy hours for employees, and shared business resources such as access to investment capital, accounting, credit card processing, and other services.
"It's going to be a success," Domenico says. "We've already had tremendous interest." Although the Assemble partners have not made any final decisions on the next steps, they want to establish a national brand and intend to move relatively quickly. In fact, on Assemble's opening day in Old Town, "we will start calling our investors back and say, 'we are 70% to 80% occupied on day one.'"

Soccer Attracts Record Number Of U.S. Fans
Major League Soccer games brought in a record number of fans this season. Sporting News reports average per-game attendance surpassed that of professional basketball and hockey games — putting soccer right behind baseball and football.
And in a week of tough sports news, fans of one sport have reason to celebrate, which is our last word in business: a big kick for soccer. This season, Major League Soccer games brought in a record number of fans. Sporting News reports average per-game attendance surpassed that of professional basketball - when it was in the season - and pro hockey games, putting soccer right behind baseball and football.
The NBA and NHL have a lot more teams and play a lot more games, so by absolute attendance numbers, soccer still has a long way to go in the U.S. Still, the Soccer League's championship game on the 20th of this month is sold out. More than 25,000 fans will be here in Los Angeles to watch pro soccer's final game of the season. And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm Steve Inskeep.

Always Order a Large Pizza, Says Wonderful Science
Bigger is better. That old axiom has once again been proven to be true.
Bigger is better. That old axiom has once again been proven to be true.
Can't decide between burgers or pizza? Now, you don't have to.
How much pizza is enough? That's a problem this woman simply can't figure out.
If vegans already appeal to you as much as a tofu kale soy burger, this is not going to change your opinion.
Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?
One of the best meals known to man is about somehow to get better.
Ordering pizza has just gotten high tech.
Pizza is always a good idea, which means this is a great idea.
Men eat an extra-large sausage so they can share their extra-large sausage with the fairer sex.
There aren't many things in the world that are better than a box of pizza — unless, of course, you have a box of two pizzas, five breadsticks and a pizza-sized, eight-slice chocolate-chip cookie...
The biggest pizza news since the stuffed crust became a thing is here.
There's some big news for the pizza-eating community, which is to say there's big news for everyone.

`I can resist anything except temptation',
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Beauty (Skoonheid) DVD (DVD)
This is a South African story about a middle aged, family man Francois (Deon Lotz). He has a wife and two daughters and a successful lumber firm, at one of his daughter's weddings he is reunited with an old friend and business acquaintance who has brought his 23 year old son along. This is Christian (Charlie Keegan -`The Sinking of the Laconia') and he has charm, wit and matinee idol good looks `to die for'.
The thin veneer of familial bliss is soon seen to be cracking with casual racism, homophobia, an unfaithful wife and children who lie. Also daddy isn't exactly what he seems to be as he goes to bear type all men swingers groups. Needles to say he is not gay, but he soon becomes smitten with Christian. But Christian lives in Cape Town and Francois is in Bloemfontein which is a fair old drive. Undeterred he invents an excuse to go to Cape Town where he will orchestrate a meeting to go to the next level. Well as Oscar Wilde famously said, `there is only one thing worse than unrequited love.....and that is when it is requited'.
Beauty or `Skoonheid' to give it its original title is an art house film in many ways. It is both cleverly and artistically shot, the acting is outstanding and the music is understated but works almost subliminally. The pace will be a bit slow for some, but that reflects the narrative which is hardly planned from the players perspective either.
There are some bedroom action bits but not in the least frequent but there are some scenes that will be upsetting to some, this is most definitely not a feel good movie. It was South Africa's best foreign language film entry to the 84th Academy awards, so by all accounts there is a lot to merit attention here. I found it slow, brooding and initially unsatisfying; however, on reflection this is a film that will stay with you. The only reason I felt a bit let down is it did not play out how I was expecting and that is in actual fact a very good thing, hence my rating. In Afrikaans and English with a run time of 105 minutes not your run of the mill film and more power to director Oliver Hermanus for that.

Good review. It is rare for the protagonist in a film to be so unlikeable but still watchable, Taxi Driver being the only the example I can call to mind.

Hi Dan, thanks for taking the time to leave a post and yes it is so strange that he is repulsive yet you actually get carried along with his story - genuinely good film. Regards Tommy
