Women Pulling the Trigger
GHENT, N.Y.—The vegan, the yoga instructor and the former Peace Corps member mingled with other women at a recent retreat in upstate New York, sharing advice: Keep both eyes open when firing a shotgun. Ear plugs are essential to mute the blasts. And when women shoot, the butt of the gun needs to sit between the shoulder and collar bone to cushion the recoil, an adjustment to the typical male shooting stance.
Even as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has emerged as one of the most vigorous national voices for gun control in recent years, one group of local shooters is quietly thriving: The Women's Shooting Sports League, a Manhattan-based group that for nearly a decade has been gathering once a month to shoot at a range in Chelsea.
Earlier this month, the club organized an excursion to the Kinderhook Sportsmen's Club, drawing nearly 20 women, many of them first-time shooters.
Many said they signed up for the trip to satisfy their own curiosity on a controversial subject, about which few had first-hand knowledge. Others relished the chance to spend the day outdoors experimenting with an unusual new skill, while longtime members toiled on perfecting a sport that demands precision and Zen-like concentration.
"Some people think that guns are inherently violent, but I don't necessarily think so," said Deirdre Gailey, a 26-year-old chef and yoga instructor from Brooklyn, who was making her first range trip.
It was a stark change from her usual social outing, Ms. Gailey said: playing "Dungeons & Dragons" in bars and food courts around the city.
"I'd say people here are a little more normal," said Ms. Gailey, glancing around at the wooden lodge adorned with animal heads, where the shooters had gathered for a lunch break.
"There are certainly more women," John Gephart, a friend who came with her, said with a slight grin. "I'll give you that."
It is an observation that would ring true in ranges across the country: Female participation in target shooting in the U.S. grew by 46.5% between 2001 and 2010, to 4.89 million shooters, according to the National Sporting Goods Association, which conducts annual surveys.
Last year alone, the National Rifle Association said that its events and classes for women, which are part of a program called Women on Target, grew by 20%.
"We've seen huge increases" in women shooters, said Rachel Parsons, a spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association, noting that the industry has begun catering to a female-friendly audience, including the manufacture of pink pistols, purses with holster slots and slimmer guns shaped to fit a female hand. "This a huge emerging market."
But in New York City, announcing membership in a recreational shooting club can still raise eyebrows, women said. For that reason, some said they stayed away from the subject in conversation.
"I don't mention it too much," said Lauren Silberman, an English professor at a city university. "I think there's a sort of discomfort with, prejudice about firearms, so I just don't get into it."
Still, she said, there is a certain pride in surprising people.
"I swim. Go to theater a lot. Do standard New York-y kinds of things," she said. "This is the outlier."
A former Peace Corps member who gave her name only as Angelica said that learning to use a gun had been a "demystifying" experience, "a word we use in the Peace Corps a lot."
"It wasn't as frightening of an object as we're led to believe," said Angelica, who was introduced to the sport by her husband, a Marine.
It is better to be educated, "as opposed to nobody knowing anything about it and not knowing how to be safe," she said. But there was another reason to spend a brisk fall day shooting bright orange "clay birds" (made from corn starch) out of the air: It's fun, she said.
Still, some of her former colleagues "just don't get it and probably think it's weird," she said. "There's just some stigma attached to this that's really just not necessary."
That motivated Amy Lovato to found the club in 2004, after a series of NRA-sponsored shooting events she hosted for women in Manhattan drew strong crowds.
"What we're doing is a very positive happy fun thing," said Ms. Lovato, who has been shooting since her childhood in the South and Midwest and whose grandfather, Jeff Cooper, is regarded by some as the father of modern pistol shooting.
Ms. Lovato's club is for recreational shooting, not self-defense, she said. "You don't want people to fear having their name associated with firearms, because what we're doing is we're trying to educate and stimulate and empower women to do something positive with a gun instead of something negative."
The message has taken hold, enabling the club to survive a greater threat than stricter legislation this year: Ms. Lovato's temporary withdrawal from the club for health and family reasons. Ms. Silberman stepped up to lead the upstate excursion, and other women have helmed the monthly meetings in a basement range in Chelsea, where anywhere from five to 21 women show up. A Yahoo group has grown to 162 members.
Though Ms. Lovato is a member of the NRA, political discussions are studiously avoided during club meetings. Still, some friction can be unavoidable.
In Ghent, Rick Olivo, a board member for the range, beamed out at the assembled women during a lunch break and encouraged them to join the NRA, which, he noted, had funded their trip. "Even if you don't believe in everything they're about, the core issues you would believe in, I'm sure," he said.
Hayley Tarr, a 30-year-old Australian vegan living in New York City, raised her eyebrows. She had thoroughly enjoyed the day, she said later. Would she consider joining the NRA, then? "No way," she said.
But personal politics should not diminish pleasure in the sport, said club member Andrea Lowenthal, a lawyer. Like any sport "if you find that you can get better and better, it becomes more and more enjoyable," she said. "It can be very satisfying to hit the bulls-eye."

Product Description
"Mr. Feld wants to make it clear that all sorts of cities across the world can become home to job-creating new businesses if only they foster the necessary culture. He sets out a framework for a successful start-up community... if more people contributed to the places in which they live, as Mr. Feld and others have evidently done in Boulder, we probably would have more start-up communities around the world for him to visit."(Jonathan Moules, Financial Times book review, November 15, 2012) "A favorite question at entrepreneurship conferences is which world city has the entrepreneurial dynamism to become a major start-up capital on par with Silicon Valley. London, Singapore, Tel Aviv, New York and Berlin are usually cited. Seldom, however, do you hear anyone propose Boulder, Colo. That is, unless you are in the company of Brad Feld, an early-stage investor, technology entrepreneur and author of "Startup Communities: Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Your City," published by Wiley. Feld wants to make clear that all sorts of cities across the world can become home to job-creating new businesses if only they foster the necessary culture."(Los Angeles Times book review, December 9, 2012) "StartUp Communities was designed to engage and inspire entrepreneurs everywhere...definitely worth a look if you're felling fired up about looking beyond the 'Silicon Roundabout' to create real hotbeds of entrepreneurial activity in the UK" (Talk Business, January 2013)
From the Inside Flap
"Startup communities" are popping up everywhere, from cities all over the United States like Boulder, Boston, New York, Seattle, and Omaha to countries like Iceland. These entrepreneurial ecosystems are driving innovation, new business creation, and job growth. Startup Communities documents the strategy, dynamics, tactics, and long-term perspective required for building communities of entrepreneurs who can feed off of each other's talent, creativity, and support. So if you think Silicon Valley is the only place to start your next venture, think again. These days, great business ideas can come from anywhere, and this book is the smart wake-up call you've been waiting for.
Based on more than twenty years of Boulder-based entrepreneur-turned-venture-capitalist Brad Feld's experience, as well as contributions from entrepreneurs in Boulder and other innovative startup communitiesthis reliable resource skillfully explores what it takes to create a startup community in any city, at any time. With this book as your guide, you'll gain valuable insights into building a more vibrant startup community, as you discover how to increase the breadth and depth of the entrepreneurial ecosystem by multiplying connections among entrepreneurs and mentors, improving access to entrepreneurial education, creating events and activities that activate all the participants in the startup community, and much more.
Along the way, Feld details the critical principles for forming a sustainable startup community, and discusses the various tactics you need to put around them. You'll become familiar with the idea that in order for a community to grow both deep and wideand to enhance its entrepreneurial densityentrepreneurs must lead the charge themselves. You'll also see how developing a long-term commitment to the startup community is the only way to realistically become a leader of it.
Feld continues the conversation by discussing how an openness to include anyone who is interested in joining the startup communityfrom students, researchers, and professors to corporate employees, lawyers, government, and investorsis critical. He also reveals how there has to be activities and events in the startup community that engage everyone in it from top to bottom. So, whether it be accelerators, meetups, or startup weekends, you have to create things that involve everyone.
You can have a sustainable startup community in virtually any city in the world. But you need to know what it takes to really make this happenunderstanding everything from the problems that may arise to the power of the community. Engaging and informative, this practical guide not only shows you how startup communities work, it also shows you how you can make them work anywhere.See all Product Description

My job is to support and grow the tech sector in Victoria, BC. We have an amazing tech and startup community but Brad has outlined some great methods and models to help us continue to grow. Brad proves with this book that if you want to build a startup community you can learn more from places like Boulder, Austin and Portland than the historical giants like the Silicon Valley. Tight knit communities that work together and give before they get are the hot beds of startups.
The book explains many of the reasons why it's difficult for entrepreneurs to become successful in their current environment.
As an entrepreneur myself, I appreciate the author's candour.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
1. Incubators and accelerators are not the same thing. Incubators often work with companies for years, not weeks like the modern day version of accelerators, and their clients have survival rates that far exceed the norm (on average surviving 85% of the time). Incubators often have acceleration programs, but they're for companies that have revenues, that have a management team, and that would like to jump (i.e., "accelerate") to the next level with the help of the competent and experienced advisers who work in incubator management teams. The current use of the term "accelerator" has been appropriated by people who needed a convenient term for their venture investment selection process. For a few thousands of dollars and 90-120 days of mentoring, venture investors see if a business idea (almost always in the software/mobile app/game domains) has the ability to scale. It's not about entrepreneurship, it's not about employment creation, it's not about any of the things incubators do to help their community grow. It's about having a very efficient way to grow a portfolio at the least cost. As an investment strategy, it's brilliant. Is it incubation? I don't think so.
2. Regional clusters are important, as Mr. Feld opines. But the conclusion that they can only be led by local entrepreneurs is, to say the least, a bit over the top. By its nature, the ecosystem has to be inclusive, and the leadership shared. Successful ecosystems - clusters - can be led by anyone who has a vision and ability to articulate what could be accomplished for the region, what it should look like, and how to get there. Many of the service providers, community leaders, and other supporters of cluster development will be there long after the entrepreneurs' companies have been acquired and they've moved on. It's unfair to assume the ecosystem can only be led by the entrepreneurs. That type of clustering requires a lot of participants, from a lot disciplines, and takes time to show results. Many entrepreneurs, driven by a need to create something innovative, have neither the patience nor the time to devote to that kind of development.
Overall it's a good effort. I enjoyed reading about his personal journey, and think there are lots of good insights for both investors and entrepreneurs therein.
With the increasing popularity of entrepreneurship, Brad's book provides a critical framework to build a thriving and healthy entrepreneurial ecosystem in any city in the world. At the center of this book is his "Boulder Thesis" which lays out the four key components of a framework for this ecosystem:
1. Entrepreneurs must lead the startup community.
2. The leaders must have a long-term commitment.
3. The startup community must be inclusive of anyone who wants to participate in it.
4. The startup community must have continual activities that engage the entire entrepreneurial stack
Each of these components is explained clearly with helpful examples. Personally, some of the highlights of the book was his section on "Mentors" which explains the key behaviors of a mentor, the "Attributes of Leadership in a Startup Community", and the chapter on "The Power of the Community" where Brad reminds us to "Give Before You Get" (awesome!) and to "Embrace Weirdness" --- any author that reminds us to "embrace weirdness" is okay in my book!
In short, I think this is very helpful and practical book for entrepreneurs, government officials, university leaders, and other entrepreneurial-related fields. As a founder of a startup, I highly recommend it and believe this book can provide fuel for a startup revolution... especially when explored in community.
"We had the fantastic opportunity to meet with Brad Feld last Friday in Boulder. The agenda was focused on startup communities and more specifically how we could apply the concepts in his book to the Loveland/Fort Collins ecosystem.
Ben West, Marshall Smith, and I made the drive over to Boulder and had an opportunity to sit down and have breakfast with Brad and ask him some questions. My takeaways are below:
On Meetups
Brad spoke about the success of the various organic meetups that occur in Boulder. He talked about the beginning of the Boulder Open Coffee Meet Up at Atlas Purveyors. A key point he made is to be consistent about having the meetings every month. He said it is easy to get discouraged when there are only a small group of people starting out at first.
He advised that the focus should be on the quality of the meetup and the value that each participant is getting from the event. Furthermore, to grow the meet up he said to have each participant invite one friend each month. Without consistency of meetups, then this aspect of the ecosystem will never grow and thrive.
Our Action Items:
1. Ben West is likely going to lead a monthly Javascript Meetup and get assistance from Marshall. The plan would be to hold the meetings at DazBog, The Coffee Tree, and possibly at The Armory in Loveland.
2. I plan to lead through my work with EmployTown a "Skills Bootcamp" once a month to hold discussions on the key skills that job seekers and top performers need to have.
3. Hold "Office Hours" at either DazBog, The Coffee Tree, or The Armory in Loveland once a month to help local job seekers, employees, or managers with specific questions that they may have.
4. Partner with local business leaders to offer a "Open Forum" for questions and answers on a variety of interesting topics that are happening locally.
On Finding Space For The Startup Community
We were concerned about finding the space to hold meetups and other informal events. Brad said this is actually easy. He said to begin hanging out at local coffee shops. As more entrepreneurs and people begin hanging out, the coffee shops will get the benefit of increased business with community members buying food and coffee. As the meet ups increase in size, a smart coffee shop will gladly welcome the trickle down in business to them. For larger events, he said adopt local businesses products as the preferred products of the startup community and they will have to notice. He mentioned his adage--"Give before you get".
Our Action Items
1. Otterbox will be the official technology case for the Fort Collins/Loveland Startup Community.
2. Grimm Brothers and New Belgium Beer will be the beer of choice and served at events in the Fort Collins/Loveland Startup Community.
3. We will continue this same pattern for other businesses in the startup community as needed and applicable.
On Relationships with Other Entrepreneurs/Members of the Startup Community
Brad laid out numerous case studies as reasons to avoid transactional relationships. He advised to give your time, money (when you can), and effort without any kind of expectations. Conversely, if you can't do something the other community members should hold no grudge against that person. That way there is not a culture of indebtedness. ultimately, this will lead to the strengthening of the community and the entrepreneurial fabric in the community.
Additionally, he differentiated neighborhoods and cities. He encouraged us to understand this difference. I was re-assured by this since many of the creative people that we currently know work and live near the Downtown Loveland district.
Our Action Items
1. Marshall, Ben, and I are currently helping each other with our various projects. Marshall and Ben are already introducing me to their contacts. We will continue to build on this to build our network of entrepreneurs and others that want to be leaders/participants in the startup community in Fort Collins/Loveland.
2. Support over community members to give them the best chance at success. Over the long term, more startups and businesses will have success and that will bring in more customers, more employees, and grow the startup community and the entire ecosystem will reap the benefits of this. Eventually, there will be anchor startups that can be pillars to host events and provide further guidance to the rest of the startup community.
3. Work harder than ever at supporting other startups in the community as much as our own.
These are some of my initial thoughts. I hope to expand in a few weeks on other ideas that I have. Of course, I welcome feedback and suggestions from the Fort Collins/Loveland community and from other communities regarding what has worked and what has stalled.
Finally, we would like to extend a huge thank you for Brad Feld for taking time to talk to us and being so gracious in sharing his knowledge and insight in order to help propel us and our startup community."
If you are looking for thoughtful, well-researched answers to these questions, you will be sorely disappointed. Feld's book mainly recounts his personal experiences building TechStars and offers platitudes based on almost purely anecdotal evidence. As a result, the book reads less like an inquiry into what makes entrepreneurial ecosystems tick and more like what would happen if your venture capitalist uncle came over for Thanksgiving Dinner and dominated the conversation all night long.
Finally, Despite Feld's reputation for creativity and innovation, he comes across as remarkably closed minded and full of unsupported prejudices. At one point, he belittles local governments and policy makers who are working to support entrepreneurs in their communities. This kind of pseudo-libertarian rhetoric is, unfortunately, all too common in Silicon Valley's dominant culture (especially among the wealthy, male, and white members of its élite venture capitalist class), but somehow I expected more from Feld.

Installed your plugin (the free version - thank you). So far, it doesn't seem to do anything at all.
My experience:
After adding your plugin, I've activated then looked through your menus (Modals, Theme, Settings, Help). I then clicked on the Modals menu. This shows me a page with the button Add New. I click on Add New and I get 3 tabs: General, Options, Examples and a button that says Save Settings. I click on General and nothing happens. The same for Options and on Examples. So I click on Save Settings. Something happens but I can't see any results. So I try listing my Modals from the menu again. This time the page shows me that I have one modal. It is numbered 1 and has the class e-Modal1 and the name Change_me. When I click on the number or the class or the name I go back to seeing a page with 3 tabs: General, Options and Examples which again do nothing when I click on them.
I've read through your plugin page on WP and your web site but I don't see anything that shows me how to get started. There seems to be a lot of people with malformed themes missing wp_head and wp_footer and with old version of JS. I can see that my theme has both of these routines and I have no idea how to update my JS (or how I would determine if that was even needed). I've reached the "Delete" plugin step. Before I do that, I'm hoping you can suggest something. What am I doing wrong?
BTW I've added the
Open Modal to my home page and I can see the link but as expected, it does nothing when I click on it.
My web site is under development so I can't open it up to you to see. I'm using a child theme of the Customizr theme and a bunch of other plugins. I'm using the latest Chrome.

Playing with technology
Playing with technology
(Music playing.) Matt Arnold: So, we are in the media lab at Second Story. This is kind of an area of the company where we experiment with new technologies, and what we are looking at today is a mini golf experience. I would say we kind of volunteered to do this as part of a local mini golf tournament. There were at least dozen different mini golf holes that a lot of local companies contributed, and ours was the only fully digital one.
Thomas Wester: We used it as an R & D effort. Typically, we start up with the user experience. We say, "This is what it's going to be. Now, go and build it." In this case, it was more like we have an opportunity to really put any technology or hell, a stack of technologies in there just to see what it's like from a technical perspective. Matt: So, the first thing you do is use the Wiimote to select a course that you are interested in. Let's try the bug course. It invites you to put the fiducials down on the table, and they offer these barriers to your destination - obstacles.
This is a special one that allows you to steer the position of your swing, and then you just swing away. And we are using all the sensors inside the Wiimote to actually do the hitting of the ball. Thomas: We were interested in how people interact with a physical object like this, and what it is like, and how people understand to work with it. So, we built an application. Basically, it shows you what's going on. So, I am holding this one down, the B button, and it's giving me all the data of where the Wii thinks it's in space right now.
So, what I do is when I hit the button, I start recording it, and then I swing and let go. So, a big swing will give me a lot of force, and then I tell the program, somebody hit with force, versus like a small swing will only give me little force. This is using an Open Source library that does fluid dynamics. The reason why we are running this is just to see what the performance is like. Matt: You want to make sure that it's not just a one-person experience, that you can have a lot of kids walk up to this, and it has to be able to react to all of them. You can't have three or four of them touching it, and it's working for them, and a fifth one walks up is like "Oh..." So, we want to make sure that whatever technology that we deploy invites everyone.
There is plenty of opportunity for everybody to interact with the hardware. Underneath the table is this camera, which not only is looking at for the fiducials but can also be looking at finger touches. The raw feed is this square here, and what the computer processes is over here. What comes out is this wonderful ID on each finger point and information about what they are doing: are they moving, are they touching, are they are removing, and how many are there? You should be able to approach a table surface like this, and it should react to you right away; otherwise, we've learned Matt: from past projects that if you Thomas: They walk away.
don't get something right away, people walk away and they miss out on all this work that we put into the software. There is a lot of dynamics there. There is - I don't know - a curiosity, and then there is almost like an embarrassment, or a shame, like "Oh! Matt: "I can't. I don't know." Thomas: "I don't want to touch it." Matt: Or people are.. Thomas: "It might break." Matt: Yeah. They are very cautious around the technology, and we want to invite them to touch, and we want to make sure it does something wonderful when they do that. Then they'll do more.

Fantastic work!
The final product is amazing!! All the texture, especially on the robot, I Love it! Great job!!
Its so smooth. It seems like the picture that could accompany a story.
I love the idea that a 'bot' doesn't have to be shiney, modern, and fast - that it can have character and flaws. You've captured that beautifully here. Additionally, I love that you've juxtaposed him against the shiney, modern background, and with the shiney, modern woman. It's brilliant! Well done!
you sleep? but your works is so great!!!!
Cool robot design. Id love to see that guy in a movie or something.
LOVE! it
So cool!

I absolutely love that arm and the warmth in the face. The area below her right arm is throwing me off a bit and her boobs seem rather plastic. I definitely think you should have added nipples, or if you were avoiding mature content, a bra of sorts, just to give it a certain finish. Regardless of that though, well done .
Love the art noveau type background, and she is awesome!

BOSTON (May 16, 2013)--Andris Nelsons has been named music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the chairman of the 132-year-old orchestra's trustees announced Thursday.
Nelsons, 34, a native of Latvia, said in a statement that he is "deeply honored and touched" by the appointment and plans to make his first appearance in Boston as the orchestra's 15th music director in June.
Nelsons' "unique creativity and visionary instincts will bring a remarkable inspiration" to the orchestra, trustees Chairman Ted Kelly said.
Nelsons has earned distinction on both the opera and concert podiums, including those of the Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Metropolitan Opera and Vienna State Opera.
James Levine, the orchestra's previous music director, left in 2011.

This story originally appears in the May 4th issue of ESPN The Magazine.
Every player might want to win a championship, but not every player is obsessed with getting one. The obsessed can't bear to watch once they've been eliminated, can't wait to make the key adjustments that'll put them on the parade route. These folks aren't the only single-minded souls in the league, but they're the best of the obsessed. -Ric Bucher
Point guard
Chris Paul | Hornets
The February deal that nearly sent Tyson Chandler to Oklahoma City for expiring contracts sent Paul, N'awlins' Mr. Everything, into overdrive. He averaged 24.2 points, 10.8 assists and 3.2 steals in March, nabbing the West's Player of the Month award.
Shooting guard
Kobe Bryant | Lakers
For all his maniacal conditioning, his energy is not limitless. Playing 40,000-plus minutes will do that. But really, this may be his last best shot at winning a ring without the big You-Know-Who. "That's what he wants more than anything," says one Western Conference player.
Small forward
LeBron James | Cavaliers
He can't rule the world without conquering the NBA first. James is clearly on a crusade, whether it's career highs in shooting efficiency (FGs and FTs) or blocked shots, including a dozen of the ferocious come-from-behind variety. Skip the crown -- this king wants a ring.
Power forward
Tim Duncan | Spurs
San Antonio's chances seemed bleak after they lost Manu Ginobili, but TD's 20 points and 19 boards in the season finale led the Spurs to the No. 3 seed. "See you in LA," Duncan said before that game. As in, We're playing the Lakers in the conference finals.
Yao Ming | Rockets
With T-Mac out, it's all on Yao to end the Rockets' run of six first-round exits. Another fizzle on the launchpad, and the front office might have to go back to the drawing board. Yao is ready to prove he's got what it takes to be the foundation of a title-contending team.
Sixth Man
Dwyane Wade | Heat
Scoring title, check. Playoffs, check. Staying healthy, check. Time to chill for a minute? Check yourself. D-Wade put up a career-high 55 on the Knicks on Easter, still bent on proving that when it comes to MVP or league's best-player talk, his name deserves to be in the conversation.
Phil Jackson | Lakers
Leg and back issues are impacting his ability to make road games, and he'll be 64 in September. So if he's ever going to capture his 10th title -- and break his tie with nemesis Red Auerbach for the most titles by a head coach -- he knows he has to do it now.
General Manager
John Paxson | Bulls
Retirment is beckoning after 24 years with the Bulls, but sources say he persuaded owner Jerry Reinsdorf to make a pricey trade-deadline deal to solidify the team's playoff chances. Reinsdorf did, a source says, with one mandate: Make the second round.
Les Alexander | Rockets
Having not gotten past the second round in 11 years, he handpicked coach Rick Adelman and co-signed on Mr. Volatility, Ron Artest. T-Mac's bowing out for season-ending knee surgery has resulted in Alexander's wannting a deep playoff run more than ever.
Cleveland | Cavaliers
If knowing how it feels to win it all but having been long denied that sensation is worse than never having won one, then Cleveland's under-50 set is fortunate. For those who do remember the Browns' 1964 NFL title, this may finally be their moment.

From Our Editors
When Ben Franklin watched the roots of grape vines drink the rain as it fell, he likened the plants' ability to turn water into wine to a miracle. It's a concept that may have inspired the founders of Divine Bar & Grill when choosing a name for their recently opened bar and grille. Behind an invitingly lit bar, bartenders pour and mix an array of miraculous liquids, from cool beers to umbrella-topped appletinis. They pair their beverages with hearty American fare – such as burgers and sweet potato fries – and the occasional game of pool, played American-style with a mozzarella sticks a cues. Divine also host regular weekly specials and themed nights, such as 50-cent wings, karaoke night, and a Latin dance night.

It Seem this was the only Recipe I could Find for Cucumber sauce. I know they use this sauce in store to sell with pre-made gyro's But I am making homeade Gyro's Just didn't want to make the sauce,Great substitute for people like me who hate the site of yogurt. Great Recipe I added garlic as well and followed the recipes for the Tzatziki Sauce just used sour cream instead.
Excellent! Very simple and quick to prepare. I did shred the cucumber and then wring it out in a clean kitchen towel so that a lot of the moisture was gone - also added a shake or two of garlic powder.
Fabulous. Works great on turkey sandwiches too. Big hit as appetizers for holidays or parties.

Strength Training In Later Life
"I'm 35." I remember lamenting.
Kinga looked at me and in that quiet all-knowing voice said sweetheart "You're not 35!".
It then dawned on me that I'd somehow dropped 2 years somewhere. I was actually 37.
YIKES! 40 was just round the corner!
I've taken a keen interest in aging and the aging process.
Ever since I started on the quest of losing my belly fat and getting fitter I have been conscious about my age. It was after all the aches and pains of just gettng up, the knee pains just going up the stairs and the lower back pain from standing just a little too long that got me into strength training.
Even big companies like Google have started investing huge sums of money in studying aging and it's effects.
As I'm still below 40, I feel I'm doing good work in reversing the damage I've caused my body over the years. Heck, I'm now fitter than I was 10 years ago and am still getting better.
If you're over 40, 50 or even 60, you might have thought that strength training was not for you, but fear not. Even at that age you still have time to start rewinding the clock.
According to a wall street article I read (link at the end of this post) a healthy person in his 60's can gain up to 3 pounds of muscle in 6 months to a year. Previously it was believed that you just continued losing muscle as you aged which is one reason it was recommended to pack on as much muscle during the younger years so that you still had a significnt amount left when the muscle wasting process began.
According to Teresa Liu-Ambrose from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, strength training was also found to boost "executive function" which means you also have a better chance of staving off some of the mental illnesses often associated with old age.
Getting started with strength training is no easy task and especially more so in your more senior years.
One of the best programs I've found to date that is suitable and works is Steve & Becky Holman's Old School New Body program.
If you're looking to start your strength training and enjoy the benefits that come with it you should give that program a shot.
Now for the article I mentioned earlier, rememeber, the one from the wall street journal?
You can check it out from the link below.

La. legislation takes on bullies
Published: Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 7:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 7:05 p.m.
BATON ROUGE -- A near-annual debate over whether to declare that bullying based on sexual orientation is prohibited at public schools will be taken up on the House floor, after the House Education Committee backed the proposal Thursday.
Harassment, intimidating and bullying of students are prohibited in current Louisiana law, with school boards required to include such bans in student codes of conduct and determine punishment.
The proposal by Rep. Austin Badon, D-New Orleans, chairman of the education committee, would describe what was prohibited, including any harassment by students based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, mental or physical disability, physical characteristics or clothing.
One opponent argued it was a backdoor attempt to make homosexuality more acceptable in schools. Other critics said current law banning bullying is sufficient and said the bill would leave teachers and school administrators trying to decipher terms like "gender identity" and make improper judgment calls.
Similar anti-bullying bills have failed repeatedly in Louisiana's Legislature for the past few years. Badon's proposal heads next to the full House for debate after getting an 8-4 vote from the committee. The bill faces opposition from Gov. Bobby Jindal and from Christian conservative groups.

I did mention to him that I did not understand him and he slowed down. I felt that he just did not 'get' that a client needs to be heard and to be given undivided attention for just a few moments. First impressions count and for me, well, he needs further training.

Anniversary Weekend
We first stayed here as a mini break just after we got married and have returned the past 2 years to celebrate our anniversary.
The hotel doesn't look the most aesthetically pleasing from the outside bit once inside it is a real gem
The reception staff are very welcoming, rooms comfortable and clean and the restaurant very appetizing for both dinner and breakfast. Many of the staff seem to have been here for the 3 times we've stayed and that always strikes me as a good factor in a hotel

Talk:Indian locomotive class WAP-7
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|WikiProject India / Railways / Transport
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
|WikiProject Trains / Locomotives
|(Rated Start-class)
How about http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WAP7_LGD_Shed.jpg for the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpArC (talk • contribs) 14:16, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
Requested move[edit]
- The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was not moved. While the minimalist argument is persuasive, the need for clarity argument suggested by Iain Bell is even more so. --regentspark (comment) 12:57, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- Indian locomotive class WAP-7 → WAP 7
- Indian locomotive class WAP-5 → WAP 5
- Indian locomotive class WAG-9 → WAG 9
- Indian locomotive class WAP-4 → WAP 4
- Indian locomotive class WAG-7 → WAG 7
– Per WP:PRIMARYMEANING. The phrase 'Indian locomotive class' is redundant. SpArC (talk) 10:03, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
- Comment. No idea about this, but is there any reason why you are also removing the hyphens? Jenks24 (talk) 01:25, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- Comments. 1. The "Indian locomotive class" prefix is currently used by 7 articles on electric locomotives, 2 on diesel locomotives, and 1 on steam locomotives. Move nomination is only for 5 of the 7 articles on electric locomotives. 2. My source (Hughes, Hugh (1996). Indian Locomotives, Part 4 1941–1990. The Continental Railway Circle. ISBN 0-9521655-1-1.) uses neither a hyphen nor a space to separate the alpha-part from the numeric part of the class, i.e. "WAP7" rather than "WAP-7" or "WAP 7". — Iain Bell (talk) 10:15, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose. There is some merit in having consistent names across a family of articles. While I would agree that "Indian locomotive class" is cumbersome, I can't think of a better construction, other than "Indian WAG9 class locomotive". Remember that the Indian locomotive class WP was introduced before nationalisation, and was issued to eight railway companies. For other articles using similarly construction titles, see Category:New South Wales locomotives, Category:Electric locomotives of South Africa, and Category:Steam locomotives of South Africa.
- The other problem with "WAG 7", et al, is that to most people, it is meaningless. Most of the articles on Polish diesel and electric locomotives have spent some time at their class code (e.g. "EU06"), rather than the WikiProject Trains standard which is to have the railway company as a prefix (PKP class EU06). Even articles on military hardware have something other than just the code, in order to add some context and make it obvious what the article is about. — Iain Bell (talk) 10:15, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

˜U.S. Chamber of Commerce pro-GOP, pro-pollution ad blitz is fueled by foreign oil
The United States Chamber of Commerce is running an unprecedented $75 million campaign to unseat progressives from Congress, in defense of a big-oil agenda. The oil-fueled Chamber has hammered candidates who voted to limit our dependence on oil, falsely claiming they supported a "job-killing energy tax" (like Rep. Paul Hodes (D-NH), Rep Joe Sestak (D-PA), Rep. Betsy Markey (D-CO), Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), and Rep. Harry Teague (D-NM)).
As a ThinkProgress investigation has learned Chamber's donors "" who send their checks to the same account from which the political campaign is run "" include multinational oil corporations, and even oil companies owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain. Brad Johnson has the story.
The Chamber has repeatedly questioned the science behind climate change, even calling for a "Scopes monkey trial" in 2009. Numerous companies, including Apple, Exelon, PNM Resources, PG&E, and PSEG, quit the Chamber because of their reactionary opposition to climate legislation, determined by right-wing board members like coal giants Massey, Peabody, and Consol. Multinational oil companies BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Hess, and Shell Oil fund the Chamber of Commerce through its Business Civic Leadership Council. The Chamber's anti-clean-energy agenda serves not only domestic coal barons and oil majors, but also the following foreign oil and coal companies, who are some of the dozens of foreign corporations that pay member dues to the Chamber of Commerce's 501c(6) account, which is used to fund its political ads:
– Avantha Group, India (at least $7,500 in annual member dues): power plants
– The Bahrain Petroleum Company, Kingdom of Bahrain ($5,000): state-owned oil campany
– Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company, Kingdom of Bahrain ($5,000): state-owned oil company
– Essar Group, Mumbai, India ($7,500): oil & gas, coal power
– GMR, Bangalore, India ($15,000): coal power, mining

"To secure America's long-term energy security, America must reexamine outdated and entrenched positions, become better informed about the sources of our fuel and power, and make judgments based on facts, sound science, and good American common sense," the Chamber argues. America will be insecure as long as the Chamber is spreading lies about science and energy supported by foreign polluter cash.
— Brad Johnson, in a ThinkProgress cross-post.
8 Responses to ˜U.S. Chamber of Commerce pro-GOP, pro-pollution ad blitz is fueled by foreign oil
Hey, wait a minute… who re-defined the nation state?
Now how does one define citizenship?… I'm confused.
I wonder how much of the national debt accrued by western governments e.g. US, UK, GDR and France in order to bail out the bankers was financed from such as these?
Was it entities such as these that stoked the fires of (ahem) 'leverage', I wonder?
Is it now a case of 'the pipers calling the tune'?
A quick tally of the above 14 Foreign Corp/people's donation shows a total of $145,000 to influence American elections to their advantage. This contribution is not only to my disadvantage, but to the determent of the majority of humanity and earth's life support systems as well. It would take 5,800 people with my $25 donation to counter those fourteen Foreign Corp/people's influence.
I suggest that the whole election cycle be declared null and void due to illegal foreign intervention!
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is headquartered right across the small park that the White House overlooks. At least one hundred people should demonstrate there, daily, to express disapproval at the Chamber and draw responsible attention to the problem.
The Chamber of Commerce has no more credibility with me, and I'll start mentioning that to each and every merchant I visit and company I deal with.
The Chamber of Commerce and Oil companies can have their fun (while it lasts) However one dos not need to have the Gift of a Genius to see what happens a few years from now when the planets Central air at the pole has no ice in September.
What that will do to us will be a grim window to a torturous future for us all-it seems likely the Chamber will be totally discredited- as well as the far right conservative movement.

ExxonMobil Ads
Joe and CP, I've seen ExxonMobil popup ads on my computer the last five times I've come to Climate Progress. Is that anything happening on your end, i.e., CAP and your website provider, or what? Did I miss something? Has there been a philosophical change regarding your views on where to accept money from?
[JR: I haven't seen them, but I don't look at my ads much. Get me a screen capture and I'll ax it IF the pop-up is on my end.]
Do dues from local community chamber of commerces who display the 'U.S. Chamber' plaque also go to this anti-science political slush fund?
How do I know if my local chamber is using my dues to fund their big-oil GOP agenda?

HATAY – The governorate of Hatay, a southern city in Turkey, rejects claims that the perpetrators of a bomb attack in the city's Reyhanli province on May 11 last year are still missing.
Reyhanli, a province near Turkey's Syrian border, which has seen thousands of Syrian refugees as they flee civil war in their own country, was attacked last May in a twin-blast which left 52 people dead and 236 wounded.
The governorate in a statement Tuesday said twenty suspects were arrested in connection with the attack and their trials are proceeding forthwith.
"As this plain truth is known to public, the statement that none of the perpetrators were caught does not reflect reality," the governorate said.
A prosecutor in the city of Adana prepared an indictment last October demanding life sentences for the suspects, saying that the deadly attacks were organized by "the Urgent Ones," a splinter group of the Turkish People's Liberation Party/Front and Syrian intelligence.

^ Exactly.
Imo, Spitta > Wiz.
But let's be honest: Do you see Spitta having that mainstream appeal like Wiz does? Matter of fact is that Wiz is looking like a joke with his current shit.
PS - What Spitta shit do you recommend? I have Jet Files, Fast Times, Pilot Talk I/II, and Return to Winners Circle. What else do I need?
you dont have his first album "this is not a mixtape" that one is on the level of pilot talk

"I ordered these save the date magnets for my niece. They are so beautiful I got tears in my eyes. I would recommend WeddingPaperDivas to everyone!"
"My save the dates turned out PERFECT, and I received so so many compliments on people who loved them. I think the magnet is such a good idea for a save the date and I could not be more pleased."
"Everything about his card exceeded my expectations..the card stock, ink colors, and script. I was soooo happy when I opened the box, not to mention outstanding customer service!!"
"I received many compliments about this save the date. The wedding paper divas customized the colors to the colors of my wedding. The picture looked exactly how it did in the proof. The only downfall was some of them got lost in the mail. If you have a lot going out of state I would recommend not doing a magnet. Perhaps if the envelope was thicker it would have travelled better, and not gotten lost. However, at the cost I would think it's safer just to go the normal "save the date" route and not risk any getting lost."
"Easy to work with, quick delivery, beautiful quality image and strong magnet- I couldn't ask for anything more. Great customer service too!!"

I need a word for feather-like. Pinnated doesn't fit, nor fern-like or anything I have thought of. I'd love something to use as in phocine for seal-like.

Pennaceous is one word common in ornithology for feather-like. You could also use these words derived from plume. (See Free Dictionary.)
One point to note is the latter set of words could be used both for feather-like and feathery, so the usage is inferred from the context. Going by the OED, only plumose stands for feather-like; the rest are for having feathers or feathery.
Similar to pinnated is pennate, used to refer to the feather-like strands of the bicep, for instance.

"Armenia" Top 5 Page for this destination Armenia by MalenaN
Armenia Travel Guide: 716 reviews and 2,728 photos
Armenia is a small, beautiful country with a long history. In 301 Armenia, then a kingdom, became the first christian nation in the world.
Around in Armenia there are many old churches and monasterys, a few of them on UNESCOs World Heritage list.
- Hagpat and Sanahin Monasterys
- Geghard Monastery and the upper Azat Valley
- The cathedral and churches in Echmiadzin and the historical site Zvartnots
I met many kind and friendly people during my week in Armenia. But I could not speak to everybody as not many people speak English. After Armenian, Russian is the second language.
I visited Armenia for a week in June 2003 and again for almost two weeks in summer 2006.

Stewart O'Nan Makes a Splash with 'Lobster'
Writer Stewart O'Nan has nearly 20 works of fiction and nonfiction to his credit, but his name isn't too well known beyond a community of loyal readers and independent-bookstore prowlers.
But book critic Maureen Corrigan predicts that O'Nan's literary celebrity will grow in the wake of his latest book, Last Night at the Lobster. It's a little book, she says, that's making a big splash.

I've developed many WordPress themes for clients for specific projects. I was looking for a 3 column theme with a variable middle column and a vertical menu. (I don't know why there are so few vertical menus for WordPress.) Anyway, I couldn't find a theme I liked, so I wrote my own.
tpSunrise is a 3 column theme with a vertical menu on the left. The theme supports a widgetized sidebar on right and a flexible center column that automatically adjusts for the window width. The theme supports different header and sidebar styles for the home page. Requires WordPress? 3.0+

I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks!

I've been spending some time in the various "blank install" threads, but so far I can't find anyone describing this (or, they are and I'm not recognizing that it's the same).
While I am indeed getting the infamous "blank install" page (although last night I had managed at one point to get it, but then got a blank page on page two of the install), I can see this in the MySQL logs:
060927 11:08:15 6 Connect [user]@localhost on
6 Init DB [databasename]
6 Query SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'siteurl'
(Except, of course, the user and database names are the actual user and database names.)
So, WP in fact is getting access to MySQL via PHP, but it doesn't go any further than the above portion from the MySQL log.
If indeed I've been staring right at the same question/answer in the other "blank install" threads and not seeing it, just point me to the proper one. I think I've read like 7 so far.
PS: I don't do much PHP stuff, and most of my blogging work to date has been MT/PostgreSQL. But if there's some specific pieces of information about my setup, such as from running phpinfo, that's needed, let me know and I'll pull it.
PPS: For what it's worth, another data point here. Originally the user was being denied access to MySQL. I did the OLD_PASSWORD thing and now (as above) WP does appear to connect ot MySQL via PHP properly. It just doesn't do anything, heh.

The great taste of pumpkin pie, the lightness of custard, a super simple prep, low fat, low carb, vegetarian, gluten free, and only 75 calories per serving...you can't get much better than that!Submitted by: ALYSSAGB
I reduced the sugar and used fat free evaporated milk. I used two whole eggs so the texture is the same as "regular" pumpkin pie. Submitted by: CHRISTYK08

These take only 22 minutes to bake
and you have fresh baked donuts for breakfast! They are full of pumpkin so you can check off a veggie serving before lunch! From the website: http://www.yogaisyummy.net/?page_id=3031 Submitted by: MUDMOUSE
Savory, creamy, and perfect for a fall evening.Submitted by: KAT1031
This is a simple recipe & a family pleaser & Low calorie. Nothing better than a great smelling soup simmering on the stove in the fall & winter days. This is a very good way to see the family gets their vitimans. When I first made this I didn't really know what to expect, so I made another meal as a back up incae the kids didn't like it.. Well to our surprise it was a hit and the whole pot was gone that night and the back up meal was saved for another day :)Submitted by: BECCACOATS
