Aug 11, 2010The people in this movie should be arrested for delivering this movie. Much of this movie is a lie if you ask me, nothing wrong will go with our nukes, I mean come on, do they really want us to follow along for attention like An Inconvenient Truth and Food Inc.?

The disarmament movement for decades has hyped that with nukes; all will die or it will be so bad you'll wish you had. Most have bought into it, now thinking it futile, bordering on lunacy, to try to learn how to survive a nuclear blast and radioactive fallout. In a tragic irony, the disarmament movement has rendered millions of American families even more vulnerable to perishing from nukes in the future. For instance, most now ridicule 'duck & cover', but for the vast majority, not right at 'ground zero' and already gone, the blast wave will be delayed in arriving after the flash, like lightening & thunder, anywhere from a fraction of a second up to 20 seconds, or more.
Today, without 'duck & cover' training, everyone at work, home, and your children at school, will impulsively rush to the nearest windows to see what that 'bright flash' was, just-in-time to be shredded by the glass imploding inward from that delayed blast wave. They'd never been taught that even in the open, just laying flat, reduces by eight-fold the chances of being hit by debris from that brief, 3-second, tornado strength blast.
Then, later, before the radioactive fallout can hurt them, most downwind won't know to move perpendicular away from the drift of the fallout to get out from under it before it even arrives. And, for those who can't evacuate in time, few know how quick & easy it is to throw together an expedient fallout shelter, to safely wait out the radioactive fallout as it loses 99% of its lethal intensity in the first 48 hours.
The greatest tragedy of that horrific loss of life, when nukes come to America, will be that most families had needlessly perished, out of ignorance of how easily they might have avoided becoming additional casualties, all because they were duped that it was futile to ever try to learn how to beforehand.
The disarmament movement's sincere supporters, just wanting a world safe from nukes, will discover those unintended consequences to be inconvenient truths of the worst kind.
The Good News About Nuclear Destruction! at www.ki4u.com/goodnews.htm dispels those deadly myths of nuclear un-survivability, empowering American families to then better survive nukes. For as long as nukes exist, these life-saving insights are essential to every families survival!… Expand
Walker was Oscar nominated for Waste Land this year, and while this occasionally unfocused doc doesn't hit those heights, it's still a valuable and scary film that should be seen.
Convincingly argued and extremely polished, it has theatrical potential for auds whose reservoir of worry about humanity's future hasn't already run dry.
A politically urgent picture, it will also literally scare the breath out of what will certainly be a worldwide audience.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Page 2's Patrick Hruby is spending his All-Star break at well, the All-Star Game. During the festivities in Detroit, he'll post occasional updates on the sights and sounds from behind the scenes at the Midsummer Classic. This is his first blog installment.
IN THE AIR, Sunday, July 10, 10:30 a.m. EDT:
Suspended above the Midwest and crammed into an airline middle seat the size of an elementary school desk, I am hurling toward baseball's midsummer showcase at hundreds of miles an hour. My bladder doesn't simply feel on the verge of bursting; it feels as though a creature is going to explode from my innards, fang-snapping and full-grown, then use its slimy second mouth to ask the flight attendant for another orange juice.
Oh, and thanks to federal regulations, I can't do a darn thing about it. Well, not without wetting myself.
As those familiar with Washington National Airport already know, safety (read: anti-hijacking) rules require that all outbound passengers remain seated for the first 30 minutes of flight. No stretching. No borrowing a two-month-old copy of Golf Digest from the overhead bin. And definitely no using the lavatory.
Survival advice? Don't start the day with an extra-large smoothie. Empty out before boarding the plane. Unless masochism excites you, politely refuse the free in-flight drink.
Otherwise, cross your legs and pray for a swift, merciful end.
The porcelain cornerstones of civilization as we know it, urinals also are at the heart of the then-versus-now stadium debate swirling around this year's Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Never mind that Comerica Park is hosting its first All-Star contest; nostalgia for old Tiger Stadium abounds.
Fans miss the former park's cozy, claustrophobic feel, epitomized by a section of the third deck that jutted over the field. Players bemoan Comerica's vast expanses of home run-robbing green -- Ivan Rodriguez says the park is too big, and Juan Gonzalez left the Tigers in part because hitters at Comerica average 1.81 home runs per game, the third-lowest total among major league stadiums.
Nearly everyone wishes the city would reuse or redevelop the old park, which still stands at the intersection of Trumbull and Michigan and was the subject of a story in The New York Times Sunday.
Lost in the gauzy reminiscing, however, is a simple fact: Newer is better. Every time.
Think better food, better sight lines, better and bigger bathrooms.
The importance of the latter cannot be understated.
Baseball games can last more than three hours. Beer is plentiful. Do the math. The next time you long for the halcyon days of yore -- or find yourself at a venerable park such as Wrigley Field -- remember the awful truth. A short restroom line puts you back in your seat in time for the next inning; a long restroom line leads to abdominal clenching, hopping in place and contemplating a second use for one's empty bottle or cup.
Note: Attempts at dual-use will not impress the stadium ushers.
The other night, I watched a documentary on the history of London. At one point during the Victorian Era, the city's outdated sewer system was so overloaded that Parliament had to be evacuated in order to escape the stench. Meanwhile, a cholera outbreak spread faster than no-limit Texas Hold 'Em.

The present invention is related to the digital formation of images and it concerns a method and device which make it possible to create a border around a subject incrusted on a background, in particular in digital video; the invention also concerns a special effects generator including such a device.
The video signal V, output from a mixing circuit and corresponding to the incrustation of a subject on a background, has the form
V=aS+(1-a)F with 0<a<1
where S and F are the video signals of the subject and background respectively before incrustation, and a is a signal referred to as the key signal of the subject.
A coloured border may be added around the subject in order to make it more visible on the background. To obtain this border, it is possible first to create an incrustation on the background, according to a key signal of a border b, which corresponds to the key signal of the subject expanded in every direction; this first incrustation is produced by a video signal
b.B+(1-b)F with 0<b<1
where B is the video signal of the colour of the border; the subject is then incrusted on the result, according to the subject's key signal, a; this second incrustation is therefore given by the video signal
Vb =a.S+(1-a) [b.B+(1-b) F]
Alternatively, the subject may first be incrusted on the background, by the video signal
V=a.S+(1-a) F
then the border only is incrusted on the result, according to the border key, c; this incrustation is produced by the video signal
V'b =c.B+(1-c) [a. S+(1-a) F],
and it should be noted that Vb ' corresponds to Vb except for the edge effects, and that c is equal to b-a.
This outline incrustation effect also makes it possible to incrust the outline on the background, without the subject.
A known bordering method involves determining the border key signal, b, by comparing, for every point i,j of the screen, the subject's key signal corresponding to that point and the subject's key signals corresponding to the points offset by 1 to n lines in the same column j, then by comparing with one another the key signals of the corresponding points offset by 1 to m points. In order to obtain a border around the outside of the subject, touching its edges, it is therefore sufficient to conserve only the maximum value obtained from the n+1 comparisons made, then to compare these maximum values to one another and again conserve only the maximum value; this latter maximum value therefore constitutes the border key signal allocated to the points on the screen having the coordinates i-n/2,j-m/2, where m and n are even numbers.
This known method can be summarized as follows: to obtain a border of n/2 lines and m/2 points around a subject, a search is performed in a rectangular window of (m+1)�(n+1) points of the key signal of the subject for the maximum value. This value then constitutes the key signal for the point situated in the center of the window.
This known method presents some disadvantages:
when the subject has corners with acute angles, the corresponding angles of the border are horizontally and/or vertically truncated,
the border is not isotropic because the purely vertical or horizontal edges are less extended than the others. For this reason, when the window is square, an edge at an angle of 45 degrees is the square root of two, that is, approximately 1.4 times more extended than a vertical or horizontal edge; therefore a border around a circular subject tends to be squarish and, the bigger the border in relation to the subject, the more this squareness becomes apparent.
The purpose of the present invention is to avoid, or at least to reduce these disadvantages.
This is achieved by finding the maximum value, not in two consecutive stages, but by simultaneously comparing with one another all the values of the subject's key signals corresponding to the points of the window being analyzed, which makes it possible to choose the form of this window so as to guarantee good isotropy and, in particular, so as to have a circular form when the horizontal and vertical distribution of the points of the image is identical.
According to the invention there is provided a method for bordering, in digital optical image formation, a subject incrusted on a background, when the subject's key signals are input in digital form, consisting in making an analysis by comparing the values of the subject's key signal for points located in a search window having a central point, so as to determine a maximum value and to constitute, with this maximum value, the value of a border key signal relating to the central point of the search window, and consisting in delaying the subject's key signals for the different points of the search window so as to make them simultaneous, and then to carry out the comparison of values.
According to the invention there is also provided a device for bordering, in digital optical image formation, a subject incrusted on a background, when the subject's key signals are input in digital form, including delaying means related to comparison means for conducting a comparative analysis of the values of the subject's key signal for points located in a search window, the comparison means including a comparator having at least as many signal inputs as there are points in the search window, the delaying means delaying the subject's key signals for the different points of the search window so as to make them simultaneous, and in which each of these simultaneous signals is allocated to a distinct input among the signal inputs of the comparator.
The present invention will be better understood and other characteristics will become apparent with the help of the following description and corresponding figures which represent:
FIG. 1, a known device for bordering a subject incrusted on a background,
FIG. 2, a device according to the invention, for bordering a subject incrusted on a background.
FIG. 3 illustrates the search window of (n+1)�(m+1) dimensions for use in creating the border which surrounds an image on the screen.
In the figures the corresponding elements have the same references.
In the figures the precise synchronizing devices, using current technology, have not been represented in order to make the drawings clearer and simplify the descriptions.
FIG. 1 shows a device for bordering a subject incrusted on a background. This known device makes it possible to implement the known method, described earlier, for bordering a subject incrusted on a background.
The device according to FIG. 1 includes a signal input to which the subject's key signals, corresponding to a subject incrusted on a background, are applied successively and in digital form. At a given time, the input signal is ai,j, that is the subject key signal at point i,j of the screen located at the intersection of line i with column j.
It must be noted that, in FIG. 1, and likewise in FIG. 2, because the signals to be transmitted are signals with several bits in parallel, the connections are multifilament links even though they are represented in the figures by simple lines for simplicity.
The signal input is linked to the input of the first delay circuit L1 of a group of n delay circuits L1 to Ln in series. These delay circuits each comprise a FIFO (First In First Out) stack of registers and each determines a delay equal to the time taken for scanning a line on the screen so that, when circuit L1 receives signal ai,j, circuit L3, for example, receives signal ai-2,j and circuit Ln outputs signal ai-n,j.
A comparator 10 receives the n+1 signals delivered, at the same time, by the signal input and by the outputs of the n delay circuits L1 to Ln; this comparator, which generally includes more than the n+1 signal inputs used, also includes a control input in order to inhibit its unused inputs. This comparator compares the signals
ai,j ai-1,j ai-2,j . . . ai-n,j
with one another, and outputs the one with the highest value; this maximum signal is written ax/j. The output of comparator 10 is connected to the input of the first delay circuit P1 of a group of m delay circuits P1 to Pm in series. These delay circuits each comprise a register and each determine a delay equal to the time taken between two consecutive points of a line, when the line is scanned. Therefore, when circuit P1 receives the signal ax/j relating to column j, circuit P3, for example, outputs the corresponding signal ax/j-3 relating to column j-3 and circuit Pm outputs the signal ax/j-m.
A comparator 11, similar to comparator 10, receives the m+1 signals supplied, at the same time, from the output of comparator 10 and from the outputs of the m delay circuits P1 to Pm; in this comparator, also, a control input makes it possible to inhibit the unused signal inputs. Comparator 11 compares the signals
ax/j ax/j-1 ax/j-2 . . . ax/j-m
with one another, and selects the one with the highest value. This maximum signal is written bi-n/2,j-m/2, where m and n are even numbers.
Signal bi-n/2,j-m/2 constitutes the border key signal required for point i-n/2,j-m/2 of the image.
A rephasing circuit, D, includes, in series, n/2 register stacks identical to stacks L1 to Ln, and m/2 registers identical to registers P1 to Pm. This rephasing circuit is designed to supply a subject key signal, a, corresponding to the same point of the image as the border key signal, b, output by comparator 11; it must be noted that in fact the rephasing circuit D has in addition, in series with its n stacks and m registers, a delay circuit made up of registers and designed to produce a delay equal to the sum of the delays caused by the processes of comparators 10 and 11; but, in FIG. 1, as will also be the case in FIG. 2, it is supposed that the comparators do not introduce any delay, given the signals indicated in their inputs and outputs.
The device according to FIG. 1 defines, as indicated earlier, a rectangular analysis window with (m+1)�(n+1) points in the image, broken down vertically then horizontally so as to make it possible to determine a border key signal taking into account the subject key signals of all the points of the window, as illustrated in FIG. 3 the disadvantages of such a process were also mentioned earlier.
FIG. 2 shows a device according to the invention for bordering a subject incrusted on a background. This device includes a signal input to which the subject key signals are applied successively, and in digital form. At a given time, the signal input receives signal ai,j that is the subject's key signal at point i,j of the image located at the intersection of line i with column j.
As in FIG. 1, the signal input is connected to the input of a first delay circuit L1 of a group of n delay circuits L1 to Ln in series, each comprising a FIFO register stack which determines a delay equal to the time taken to scan a line on the image.
The signal input of the device is also connected to an input of a comparator 1 and to the input of a first register PO1 of a group of registers, PO1 to POm, mounted in series, each output of which is linked to an input of comparator 1, with a one-to-one relationship between the outputs and the inputs. Each of these m registers determines a delay equal to the time taken between two consecutive points of a line, when the line is scanned.
Similarly, the output of each of these stacks L1 to Ln is linked to an input of comparator 1 and to the input of the first register, such as P11, of a group of m registers, such as P11 to P1m, mounted in series and of which each output is linked to an input of comparator 1, with a one-to-one relationship between the outputs and the inputs.
Therefore, at a given moment, comparator 1 receives, at (m+1)�(n+1) of its inputs respectively, the subject key signals ##EQU1## In other words, the comparator receives all the signals included in a rectangular search window relating to (m+1)�(n+1) points of the image. By analyzing these signals so as to identify the signal with the maximum value, the comparator produces exactly the same result, if the signals on the signal input of the devices are identical, as comparator 11 in FIG. 1; the device according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 2, would not hold much interest in relation to the device shown in FIG. 1 if the analysis were carried out in this way. However, comparator 1 in fact includes a control input, M, inhibiting all or some of its signal inputs, which makes it possible to ignore some of the signals received at a given time. By suitable choice of the inhibited inputs, it is then possible to retain in the search window only those points of a disk which fits entirely in the rectangular window. This then amounts to delimiting, in the rectangular search window, a circular analysis window.
It must be noted that any other form of window may be used, in particular elliptical windows, or even windows which are rectangular and smaller than the search window defined by the whole of the signals received by comparator 1. Whatever the form of the analysis window, it is generally useful to center it on the same point i-n/2,j-m/2 as the rectangular search window, relating to the (m+1)�(n+1) points. Comparator 1 therefore supplies a border key signal which is written b'i-n/2,j-m/2 to distinguish it from the border key signal obtained with the device according to FIG. 1.
The device according to FIG. 2 also includes a rephasing circuit, D, identical to that in FIG. 1, so as to supply, on its output, a subject key signal ai-n/2,j-m/2 corresponding to the same point of the screen as the border key signal, delivered at the same instant by comparator 1.
A subtractor circuit, 2, makes it possible to obtain the outline key signal, c, relating to the point i-n/2,j-m/2, by subtraction between the signal of the rephasing circuit D and the signal of comparator 1.
The device according to FIG. 2 may be simplified in the case of an analysis window having fixed form and dimensions; in this case, the conductors, connected to the inputs of comparator 1 whose signals would be inhibited may be eliminated; the search window and the analysis window are then identical.
It was mentioned in the description of FIG. 2 that the comparator 1 carried out a search for the maximum value; such a search is liable to dilate a key signal and makes it possible to obtain a border touching the edge of the subject but on the outside of the subject. In the event of the border being required on the inside of the subject, it is the minimum value which must be found and, to incrust the subject, it is the former key signal of the subject which becomes the key signal of the border and it is the signal calculated by finding the minimum value which becomes the key signal of the subject. Because of this search for the minimum value, the signal obtained is narrower than the subject key signal on the basis of which it is determined.
It must be noted that the invention can also be used to determine a shadow producing an effect of relief for a subject incrusted on a background; this shadow is referred to as a drop-shadow. This shadow is a partial border touching the subject and making it possible to give it an effect of relief as if by edge lighting. According to known methods and according to the invention, to calculate the key signal of a cast shadow it is sufficient to delay the subject's key signal by a certain number of lines and points. If this delay is by k lines plus q points, the cast shadow is on the right and at the bottom, on the other hand, for k lines minus q points it is on the left and at the bottom; to obtain a drop-shadow of a certain thickness, several consecutive cast shadows, usually delayed by one line and by approximately one or two points from one line to the next, are required and the signals corresponding to these lines are the input signals of a maximum value search device. The device for bordering a subject, such as described with the help of FIG. 2, can therefore be perfectly adapted to the production of a drop-shadow. To achieve this, the length of the delays of the lines must be programmable. This is achieved by carrying out a masking in the window of (m+1 )�(n+1) points, which eliminates all values of the key signal except those corresponding to the offset points, for example, one line plus one point, two lines plus two points, three lines plus three points and so on up to h lines and h points; the maximum value, which is the value of the border key signal to be allocated to the different points of these cast shadows, is obtained by comparator If, moreover, a delay of h lines and h points is applied to the subject key signal, by means of the rephasing circuit D, the drop-shadow will be located higher up than the subject, whereas if the delay is zero the drop-shadow will be located lower down than the subject.
Generally, to regulate the phase of the subject in relation to its border, it is necessary to substantially delay the subject key signal and therefore the video of the subject must be delayed in the same way.
It must be noted that the image signals can originate from any source. If the original signals are not digital, they must be digitalized. In this way, using for example an image on paper, film, magnetic tape, etc., it is possible to provide the signals corresponding to this processed image in order to include a border.
The field of application of the present invention is the production of special effects, in particular for television.

Is this series specifically targeted at boys? All four ads have their gender identies specified (Boys/men: no hair; girls/women: long yellow hair -- it's a consistent), but I dont see any figures of girls looking overweight.
I agree with SeanMartin. Why are only the boys big? Surely if one parent is overweight, then it affects all kids, not just ones of the same gender.
Lol, and if the girl's skinny while the boy is not, perhaps she actually has anorexia? I'd say that's a much more important thing to address than the obese kid!

OK and who would you listen to on your e-mail mess where you kept 30,000 and dumped another 30,000? Come on Hillary, you can't claim stupidly again.

Perfect! so light and fluffy! I was a little short on graham cracker crumbs, so I tossed in some oatmeal (about half and half). Otherwise, I followed the recipe ingredients exactly, although I put it in an 8X8 baking dish to make deeper squares. I'd make it again
If you like peanut butter and chocolate, you have to make this recipe! We used a 9 x 13 pan and it is easy enough for kids to help make.
This recipe is a huge hit with my kids. They love that they can help and produce something so good.
Made these for a friend who loves Reese's and she thought they were awesome! Thanks!
These are fabulous. I'm almost sick from eating so many of them! I packaged what I didn't eat into Christmas tins and froze the rest. Easy recipe and very delicious.
We devoured these bars; they are simple and easy to put together; I followed the recipe, as posted, except, I melted the chocolate in the microwave, and didn't add the margarine. The chips melted and adhered to the bars just fine. I'll be making these again and sharing with my friends! Thanks for sharing, Mamablowfish. Made for PAC Fall '09.
The are so rich and delicious! Tastes like the real deal only homemade! These freeze well and can be pulled out and devoured in no time. I will definitely make these again and again. Would be great on Christmas trays cut into small bites. Keeper! Everyone loved them, kids - adults and the neighbors!!! Thanks for sharing a simple and delicious dessert! Adopted/made for PAC Fall 09 ~V
Good to finally see this recipe in print here. I used to make these at Xmas when the family was at home and they disappeared very, very quickly. It is a failproof recipe, easy and even non peanut butter eaters like them.
OMG absolutely amazing! Tastes just like the real thing!
WHOA! These are crazy good. I took them to a Memorial Day gathering and we all enjoyed them a lot. I only came home with about 5 bars left. :) These will become a favorite for us!

Michael Connell Biehn (born July 31, 1956) is an American actor and director. He is known for his roles in science fiction films directed by James Cameron; as Sgt. Kyle Reese in The Terminator (1984) and in its sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1992...) (cameo; can only be seen in the extended and Director's Cut editions), Cpl. Dwayne Hicks in Aliens (1986) and Lt. Coffey in The Abyss (1989). He was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actor for Aliens. His other films include The Fan (1981), Tombstone (1993), The Rock (1996), Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 (2001) and Planet Terror (2007). On television, he has appeared in Hill Street Blues (1984) and Adventure Inc. (2002-03).
Connect any celebrity with Michael Biehn to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
The Terminator and Aliens were his most memorable performances.
I know this is older news, but I do hope this good fellow has overcome his drug issues. Drugs can destroy a person's life. Also, if as some has implied, the person he is with is enabling/encouraging such behavior, he needs to make a break from her. I know nothing about her but I have never gotten a good feeling about her. The other two ladies he was married to previously seemed like such class acts.Most importantly, he has a little nine or ten year old son who needs his daddy to be there for him. I hope he thinks of his baby (and his adult kids too) and takes better care of himself.
Dear Michael, I don't want to be rude, but what is wrong with you? Are you sick, or what? PLEASE, take good care of you! Love...
MB is a great actor! I hope things improve in your life, you deserve it, seems nice guy
hey i know it is never appreciated the slander dialogue and vicious rumors that occur how ever i am home and those silly twitters are just for laughs life and love ps there may be some rumours of a new dating game w alex baldwin so hop on board if you wish or produce or edit ok love ya ll also
I have seen Mike in many projects and he has always done a great job. He is one of the best male actors in the US and should really be in more stuff. Let`s see what we can do about that shall we.
I think Michael is one of the most handsome men in hollywood. I am from the south and i know he was born in Alabama, so i know he has some of the southern roots in him. I loved him in every movie i have seen. The best in my book plus very hot. I am sorry to hear about his drug abuse, but most of the moviestars have that. Which is very sad to say. I wish him the best in anything he does, he deserves it.
I really enjoy him ; as an Actor
Wow,, this Jennifer Blanc woman must have a GREAT personality,,,, I had no idea that she was his girlfriend,,,, she doesnt seem his type, I dunno.
I think Michael Biehn is a great actor. I`ve enjoyed him in everything I`ve seen him in. He was good in the Feb 11, 2009 episode of Criminal Minds. I am sorry to hear of his drug abuse problem, though. Nothing good can come from that.
Michael Biehn is my favorite actor, I hope he does another James Cameron film.. And I also agree, he need`s to dump Jennifer Blanc...
Well since he`s been with her Kenny, he`s been busted on movie sets for doing drugs and she was fired from Dark Angel for the same thing.

Westboro Baptist Church is officially not a hate group, the Obamma Administration said this week.
July is a special month for many Americans. Most of us will eagerly take a break from our busy summer schedules to once again celebrate Independence Day. There will be much fanfare with fireworks, parades, picnics, and other patriotic events celebrating our country's independence from Great Britain in 1776. But when the festivities have ended, only a few will have reflected upon the true meaning of independence and the role it has played in shaping our nation's character.
Barton County residents are preparing to join Americans nationwide in celebrating the Fourth of July Thursday. It is a time to reflect on what it means to be a resident of the United States and feel a swelling pride in our country. There is nothing wrong with that, a Kansas State University researcher said.
Summer has arrived with a vengeance. Although temperatures are a little cooler this weekend than they have been recently, the dangers presented by heat remain.
The Supreme Court made the right decision in Adoptive Couple V. Baby Girl case on Tuesday when a girl, Veronica, who had been adopted did not have to be turned over to her birth father.
It was purely by journalistic happenstance that the Great Bend Tribune, and in turn, its readers know about the oil wells being proposed in the area of Cheyenne Bottoms. A source told a reporter about it, otherwise, the public would have never known.
If the Kansas Legislature passed a law ordering all doctors to tell women considering abortion that, "abortion is a sin," it's likely that Gov. Sam Brownback would sign it.
In life, sometimes good things happen that we have no responsibility for and sometimes bad things happen that we also have no responsibility for.
Father's Day was founded in 1910 in Spokane, Wash., by Sonora Smart Dodd. Its first celebration was in the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there. After hearing a sermon about Jarvis' Mother's Day in 1909, she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honoring them. Despite support from President Woodrow Wilson, there was resistance from Congress which feared it would become to commercialized. So, it did not have much success initially.
The Military District of Washington issued a statement concerning Master Sgt. Nathan Sommers, a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Army Band.
Edward Snowden's "crime," was warning his fellow Americans about a secret spy program conducted by his own government.
The Common Core standards are being talked about a lot these days. The Common Core is simply a set of educational standards that are the same from state to state and are designed for students to be career ready when they graduate from high school. They are reasonable and make sense. The state legislature should let the state school board decide what is best for students.
Enjoy your tax cut, Kansans.
Breastfeeding is a normal and natural function and, since the beginning of time, has allowed human beings to get a good start on life. Not only are infants fed the healthiest milk designed for their bodies, they develop their first relationship.

Very very nice, I halved the recipe but not the liquid that you add and that turned out good, used only 1 tablespoon of rice per vegetable. It was enough for the size of the tomatoes and the peppers I used. Could not get the cheese you mentioned in the recipe and used grated Halloumi cheese. The raw rice was perfectly cooked by the time we had the dish. The only thing I added was some dried oregano.
FINALLY.. !! My grandmother used to make these and I have been searching the world for the recipe that would capture this uniquely "greek/turkish" taste.
Well folks.. this is it !
Evelyn shows deep understanding of greek cuisine in her quantity of olive oil (don't be alarmed..) and , especially her step 10. ( Leave an hour or two in the oven..) This is very important as it allows a kind of caramelization which is.. everything ! without this last step mine used to taste like a warm pepper salad mixed with rice !
It has now become one of my family's favourites !
Just a tiny detail.. since the rice is not pre-boiled, it will expand.. so don't stuff them all the way to the top or they will overspill..
I also dribbled 1/2 tsp of olive oil on the mixture in each pepper after stuffing ( but then..I'm an olive-oil addict )
( Evelyn you are a national treasure !! )
Veggie Dornette #1 was home for the weekend and I thought I would surprise her with something besides lasagne (which she asks for each time she comes home). Peppers are plentiful in the market now, although it's not really tomato season. I did try this with 2 tomatoes, but I have to say that the recipe was 90% peppers. To make up for the missing tomato flesh I used some canned tomatoes, chopped up. Left out the mint, because I knew the kids would never touch it with mint (not very adventurous, my kids). I also left out the raisins, again, because the kids won't eat anything with "bugs" in it. Doubled up on the pine nuts instead, you can never have too many pine nuts (budget permitting). The only other change -- I didn't have (or even look for) mizithra or kefalograviera cheese, so I used a nice Cypriot haloumi instead. Ev, major yummy dish here!
Outstanding! Made exactly as written, used shredded parmesan, and it turned out PERFECT!!! Evelyn, you are a gem for sharing this, everyone LOVED IT! I will make this again and again.
Updated 08/27/12: I can not say enough great things about this recipe. You can not get results like this from a cookbook. Evelyn's instructions and measurements are like learning from your Greek yaya. I turn to this recipe again and again, and have made these probably 8 times - always perfect, always to rave reviews. Make them, you won't be disappointed.
Oh My! These were the best stuffed peppers and tomatoes I have ever had in my life. This recipe is amazing. If you are thinking of trying this, think no longer, this is a winner. I have never been so happy with a recipe in my life. I love Greek food and this is Greek. Absolutely amazing! There should be a special category for recipes like this. 10 stars and more. Thank you so much for this dish. My family and I are still fighting for the leftovers.
Great recipe. It's realy worth the time it takes to prepare. It's not the one I had in Santorini, but it's close.
These were very good the first day, although my husband wasn't crazy about them. I took a lefover pepper and a tomato as my lunch for work today, and BOY - this is the kind of dish that really improves after sitting a while! It was incredible! This would be a nice thing to make for a buffet dinner party.
After so many years I finally found the best recipe for Yemista, I spend so much time trying to identify what I was doing wrong as my dish wasn't the same or even close to as it is in my fav city of Athens (Greece) where my family and I spend a while each year and now after I found this recipe I am the happiest person in the whole world! I made it 3 times already and it tests like heaven! exactly like in Athens!!! I got so many compliments from my husband , my daughter and friends, people who loves Greek food too. I just want to say Bravo Evelyn!!! Thank you very much for a little peace of Greece on my plate which I enjoy very much-:)

Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver continues to be one of the best character studies films ever. With Paul Schrader's great writing and a fantastic cast (Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel, Cybill Shepard, Peter Boyle, and Albert Brooks), it is hard to resist such a movie. It has won the prestigious Palme d'Or and is #52 on the AFI's "100 Years… 100 Movies" list. Recently, Sony released Taxi Driver: Collector's Edition, a DVD with an array of extra features to complement one of the greatest films of all time.
Part of a documentary on Taxi Driver:

Hualalai Sunset... Wanting Memories.
On the high road road to Kona from Waimea on the Big Isle near Puu Waawaa, acres and acres of dried lava beds from active flows from Mauna Loa in the 1800s stretch for miles across the slopes of Hualalai out to the sea. From this spot at around 2500' (760 m) high, the setting sun conducts its symphony of lights with an orchestra of clouds.
Click on the "map" below and to the right in "Additional Information" to see where it was taken. Be sure to click on "hybrid" or "satellite" to see the lava beds.
I can't think of a better soundtrack for this image than "Wanting Memories." In the '90s, you couldn't turn on a radio in Hawaii without hearing this song by Keali'i Reichel (written by Dr. Ysaye Barnwell from the African-American all-female a cappella group 'Sweet Honey On The Rocks.")

Columbia Academy Needs A Prom
Columbia Academy has a banquet every year toward he end of April, but no prom. This banquet is the closest thing to a prom we have but I don't think that it's close enough. There is no dancing what so ever at the banquet or anything that really could make it a prom. Columbia Academy is the only school that I know of that doesn't have a prom. I propose that we change the banquet into a prom. I think it could be a great thing for the students, and I believe that the students would have more fun. I think it could be a nice formal prom that everyone would enjoy. Obviously there would be chaperons that I imagine would consist of teachers and volunteering parents.

10 Ways to Save Money This Summer #7
Flight, Meet Budget
Summer flight-deals abound. But, how can you make sure you're saving the max? First, opt to have your budget determine where you go and when. Kayak.com/explore let's you enter your flying budget, preferred locations (worldwide) and flight times, then shows you just where you can go on what dates for your money. If you're flexible on travel days, take advantage of Google's Itasoftware.com where you enter your desired airports to see what days on the calendar are cheapest to fly. One trip from New York to California showed me $380 on a Sunday, but $611 the day before, and $469 for flying the day after. Twenty-four hours means some serious savings!

Customer Testimonials and Reviews
Handyman Services in Cumming, GA
We are more than pleased with the work completed on our garage and porch. Jason Carder worked non-stop and did an excellent job. Some of the damage was much worse than we knew but Mr. Carder's work makes both the garage and porch look as if there was never any damage, and some of the damage was critical, and could have been a disaster. If we need any more work, we definitely would want Mr. Carder for the job and would recommend him to our family and/or friends.
Thank you, very much!
Garage and porch rebuild in Cumming, GA
Jason Carder did the work over 2 days, all by himself. He worked non stop and restored my garage to like new condition. He also replaced 4 decorative poles that support the roof that covers the porch. He worked non stop, did a lot of work and when he left there was no sign that he had been there other than my porch and garage look as they did when they were new, at least 25 years ago. If I need ANY additional work I will call Trusted Toolbox and request, insist that Mr. Carder do the work.

Magistrates on the Taylor County Fiscal Court will see bids on the proposed Taylor County Fire Station at a special-called meeting at 2 p.m. on Friday, July 15.
They will hold another special-called meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday, July 20, where they will decide whether to move forward. The station would be located on U.S. 68, on the other side of the road from Phillip's Lanes.
"Blevins Construction will look at all the bids and then bring them back to the county," said Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers.
With exciting changes coming to Taylor County Schools, students will have to wait a bit longer before moving in.
At the regular Taylor County Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, July 12, Superintendent Roger Cook announced they would not make the primary center construction deadline.
"We're not going to make the Aug. 5, primary center deadline to get in. That's not going to happen," Cook said.
Two weeks ago, H&W Sport Shop in Campbellsville was destroyed by fire.
Now, many are curious what Shaun Hord, owner of the business, will do going forward. Will he rebuild on the old location, or simply find a new location to call home?
Hord says he doesn't know that answer yet, but he does have a plan in the meantime.
Allen and Angie Johnson celebrated 40 years of marriage July 2. The pair have made a life together watching their family grow in Campbellsville. They bought their house on Oak Street before they wed, and they worked on the house for six months before moving in after their wedding day.
"It had metal cabinets in the kitchen," Angie said. "It was a real fixer upper."
But it was theirs. They were both in walking distance of their jobs and were able to expand their family.
About 2,000 customers lost power as a result of Thursday night's storms, according to the Taylor County Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation.
All but a few had power as of Friday. RECC officials said several trees were also down.
The outages were all in the county, according to Kentucky Utilities, which recorded no outages in its mostly city-based area. Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers said the outages were in places like Lemons Bend, Meadow Creek and in the area around Davis Road.
No injuries were reported.
At least three new businesses will soon be open in Campbellsville.
A Wings Pizza N Things restaurant will likely open on KY 55 later this year.
Kelly Niswender, owner of the future restaurant, said it'll probably take about four months to construct the building.
The new restaurant, to be located on KY 55 near Cornerstone, will have a groundbreaking in the not-too-distant future. A specific date has not yet been set.
Although a few of the events in Campbellsville's Fourth of July celebration had to be postponed or canceled, organizers are still positive on how it turned out overall.
"We didn't have any events that weren't well attended," said organizer Allan Gaddis. "We dodged some opportunities for rain several times."
Gaddis said he was "pretty darned pleased" with the events.
The city plans to update its planning and zoning regulations over the next two years with outside help.
At a Tuesday night meeting, Campbellsville City Council members voted unanimously to have Shepherdsville-based Pike Legal Group help them look at their 20-year-old land use ordinances at a cost of $29,000.
The city plans to pay them $15,000 now and the remaining $14,000 in the next fiscal year. Campbellsville Mayor Tony Young said they already had $15,000 budgeted for this, and added that they've wanted to do this for years.
For nearly five decades, Travis Keltner has driven children to and from school.
He has not only made sure students safely get to and from school, however, but also that they have coats to wear and bicycles to ride - and are entertained on their ride.
And it's the opportunity to help Campbellsville Independent School's students that keeps him coming to work, he says.
To honor him for his commitment, service and dedication, Keltner has received this year's School Bus Driver of the Year award.
Kentucky State Police Post 15 will be conducting safety traffic checkpoints in the Post 15 area, which includes the counties of Washington, Marion, Taylor, Green, Casey, Russell, Adair, Metcalfe, Monroe, Clinton and Cumberland.
Troopers will be checking for impaired drivers, children that are not properly restrained in child safety seats and informing the public about the use of seatbelts.
