text: (Editor's Note: This is the third in a three-part series on Invisible Children, an organization that is raising awareness about the war in Northern Uganda.) For one night, hundreds of local students and residents got a somewhat-realistic feel of being displaced, eating Saltines, drinking bottled water and being pushed around a bit by the elements during Phoenix's Displace Me event. A dust storm, complete with a sprinkling of rain, blew through the beginning of the event around 3 p.m., as hundreds of mostly teens and college students hunkered down, holding on to their cardboard shelters for dear life. For the Invisible Children organizers, who struggled mightily to find a location in Phoenix after losing the rights to use Phoenix's Barrios Unidos Park, it was all about the bigger picture. And that picture saw approximately 500 people gathered at Gilbert's Mesquite High School April 28 as part of the larger national protest in 15 cities, which garnered 67,871 people in support, according to IC. Those who left their homes to sleep in fields, in parks and in Washington D.C., on the National Mall, did so with the purpose of raising awareness to the crisis in Uganda, which has endured a 21-year-old civil war and finds many of it's northern Acholi population entrapped in internal displacement camps. The aim of the event was to raise awareness for the tragedy and to experience in some small measure the life of a Ugandan living in an IDP camp. Many of those who came to be displaced wrote letters to their congressmen and called friends and family members to tell them about why they were there. For many, the call to action came after viewing the documentary film that was the catalyst to the founding of Invisible Children. "We've all seen the video. Watching that is pretty intense," said Tabor Lewis, a sophomore at Chandler's Hamilton High School. She said being a part of such an event, which lasted from 3 p.m. April 28 until 10 a.m. the next morning, was radically different than anything she'd been a part of before. "It's crazy, because this is in Arizona and we don't have a lot of protests here." The crowd drew a variety of church youth groups, students from local high schools and colleges who participate in the Schools for Schools program mentioned earlier in this series, and even some who came from other states like New Mexico, California and Nevada. "Awareness is definitely going to go up," said Hamilton sophomore Aubree Colclasure, who has already purchased all of the bracelets made in the Ugandan IDP camps, and sold by IC to raise funds to aid the Ugandans. "I brought stacks and stacks of paper to write letters to Congress." Those letters, which were collected by organizers at the end of the night, were to be delivered to Congress in the coming days, as Invisible Children's leadership also planned to show videos from each of the Displace Me protests across the country to U.S. leaders. While Basha High School sophomore Kyle Burnett was disappointed that more of his friends at church did not show up for the event, Lewis said those who did come all across the country were making an important statement. "The youth is a main part of it because nowadays youths don't stand up for anything." --Adam Gaub can be reached at (480) 898-7903 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mad Men
18 comments:
I've entered a contest to win a walk-on role on that retro-licious TV show, "Mad Men".
If you wouldn't mind taking a couple of seconds to vote for me, go to my blog, or copy and paste the following link which goes right to my picture:
Thanks a bunch!OMG, times have definitely changed for the better!! These ads are hilarious, but kind of sad too. I think we go a bit overboard today with protecting our kids and ourselves from everything under the moon, but seriously -- weaning your baby off the bottle with Coke?!
I've never seen Mad Men -- don't even know what channel it's on!! I'll have to see if I can find it and check it out. John Slattery is on it, right?? I really like him -- he's been on two of my fave shows, Homefront and Ed.
KellyMorning Chania....!
I haven't seen the show....Just the odd clip here & there....Looking at the adds you've posted all I can say is THANK HEAVENS we've evolved....My eyebrows were raised from the first pic but they fairly shot off the top of my head when I saw my beloved Santa with a fag in his gob....Shame advertising people....S-H-A-M-E....THAT has scarred me forever....!
Hope you're having a great week Lovey....!!!
Cheers for now,
Tamarah :o)Love the set and fashions on Mad Men. When I started working as a RN in 1982 the chief cardiologist made rounds while smoking. I will never forget that! We used to walk over to the gas station and buy cigs for our patients. It kept them happy and quiet I imagine. Soon after that all tobacco products were banned. Then no one was happy or quiet. olive♥
p.s.I have never smoked but as a psych nurse most recently realize people use smoking as a anti-anxiety agent
I love to read each and every comment and are thrilled that you take the time to send one. Thank you so much. Chania

A leader in the Black Caucus in Congress, has represented New York's 15th congressional district since 1971, that's Charles Rangel. He is also the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. And as far as Ways and Means go, he knows what he's doing. The Way, for Rangel appears to be to abuse privilege ad absurdum, indeed ad nauseum, and the Means is his status as a government official. (In the Roman times, they'd toss his sycophantic carcass into the Rubicon – or perhaps accommodations on a cross on the Appian Way.) He has avoided taxes at all costs, which is odd for a non-libertarian. House Democrats have refused to do anything about it, despite the cash advance from tax payers paying their salary, and adherence to law and order being crucial to a civilized society.
(Sorry to quibble, but Rangel isn't a senator. He's a representative -- hence the congressional district. I'm with you on the voice, though!)
US senator from the smallest congressional district in the US. Wonderfully scratchy voice.

demanded the American president. 'Withdraw yours from Turkey,' retorted the Soviet leader. Under intense pressure from their respective military advisers, each man waited for the other to give in. Yet neither of them fully realised what a dangerous game they were playing until it was nearly too late.
PRESIDENT Kennedy's experts told him at the beginning of the crisis that there were no nuclear warheads in Cuba. This advice was wrong - there were 45 - and was never amended. At no stage did they tell him that the Soviet commander in Cuba was authorised to fire his tactical nuclear missiles without reference to Moscow. They did not know, and the Russians revealed it only 30 years later.
So Kennedy played his hand on the assumption that Nikita Khrushchev was a pragmatic leader and knew that American superiority in strategic missiles - 5,000 to 300 - would compel him to listen to reason. But he did not know that the Soviet military establishment was pushing Khrushchev to the brink.
Early in the crisis, Khrushchev asked his military leaders if they could assure him that calling Kennedy's hand would not result in the death of 500 million human beings. 'They looked at me as if I was out of my mind, or what was worse, a traitor,' he said later. 'The biggest tragedy as they saw it was not that our country might be devastated and everything lost, but that the Chinese or the Albanians might accuse us of appeasement or weakness.'
Equally, Khrushchev did not appreciate the pressure that Kennedy was under from his military leaders. From the beginning it was clear to Kennedy that the installation of Soviet nuclear missiles on Cuba did not actually alter the strategic balance of power. As he put it: 'It doesn't make any difference if you get blown up by a missile flying from the Soviet Union, or one that was 90 miles away.'
But the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not agree and they grew increasingly disillusioned with what they regarded as Kennedy's weak and conciliatory attitude to the Soviets. They argued for a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Cuba - 'that's what the Russians would do' - followed by an invasion and occupation. Kennedy and his brother Robert began to consider seriously the likelihood that if the US did not win the confrontation - in whatever manner - Kennedy would be impeached. How to win, or appear to win, without risking a nuclear war?
TWO BOOKS John Kennedy had recently read were still fresh in his mind. One was Fail Safe, a novel about an accident with an American nuclear bomber that causes the destruction of Moscow and New York. The other was The Guns of August, by the historian Barbara Tuchman, which showed how Europe tumbled into war in 1914 through, among other things, complexes of inferiority and grandeur.
So Kennedy decided to accept an early recommendation from his Defense Secretary, Robert McNamara, that was part political, part military - a blockade of Cuba to prevent delivery of weapons and open surveillance of the island by U-2 aircraft - and he went on national TV on the eighth day of the crisis, Monday 22 October, to announce it in what was, in retrospect, the most alarming address of the nuclear age.
Kennedy accused Khrushchev of lying to him. He said that no nation could tolerate 'such deliberate deception and offensive threats' and warned that the United States would regard any missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western hemisphere as an attack on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response on the Soviet Union.
As Kennedy was speaking, US forces were placed on Defense Condition 3, a stage of combat readiness three short of actual war. The Strategic Air Command later went to Defense Condition 2. Polaris submarines took up positions from which they could launch nuclear attacks on the Soviet Union and B-52 flights armed with atomic bombs began taking off round the clock. By now a total of 180 warships were in the Caribbean, 100,000 paratroopers and infantry had been alerted and 250,000 men were ready in reserve.
In Moscow, Khrushchev reacted to Kennedy's address by issuing orders to captains of Soviet ships to hold course for Cuban ports. The Soviet Defence Ministry ordered full battle readiness. The missile expert General Boris Surikov recalls: 'I was in an atom bomb-proof bunker deep under a forest just outside Moscow. The bunker was about as big as a cinema and there were about 300 people in it. The commanders sat on a sort of stage with a big transparent screen which was overlaid with a map of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact countries. It showed all the flights of American B-52s along our borders.'
It was inevitable that in such a state of tension there would be some near misses. A B-52 on patrol near Kamchatka came into Soviet air space. Two Mig-17 fighters were ordered to locate the target and destroy it. General Surikov recalls: 'I watched it all on the screen. I could see two green dots - the Migs - and one red dot - the B-52 - steadily converging. No one in the bunker doubted that if the red dot disappeared off the screen, then it would be the beginning of an atomic war.
'When the dots were only about 50 kilometers (31 miles) apart, the two green ones suddenly reversed course. They did not have sufficient fuel left to attack the target. The red dot went on alone and left Soviet territory. You could feel the release of tension in the bunker.'
ON TUESDAY 23 October, 25 Soviet ships were still en route to Cuba, their course and speed unchanged. US warships off the Azores located some Soviet submarines and forced several to surface by dropping small depth charges. At the UN, Michael Polonik, the press officer of the Soviet delegation, talking with a US official, said that the test would come the next day when the first Soviet ship reached the blockade line. Polonik concluded: 'This could well be our last conversation. New York will be blown up tomorrow by Soviet nuclear weapons.'
In Moscow, at the Defence Ministry, the Soviet troops and technicians on Cuba were signed off from the coming year's budget. Colonel Lev Kaperniok told us: 'The conviction was that most of them would not now return from their mission.'
Messages flew back and forth between the leaders, each accusing the other of not understanding his motivation, but nothing concrete emerged until 6pm on Friday 26 October, when the State Department began to receive via the US embassy in Moscow a long and emotional letter from Khrushchev. It made a deep impression on Kennedy as it was so obviously written by the Chairman personally: 'Only lunatics or suicides, who themselves want to perish and to destroy the whole world before they die could want an atomic war.' And the letter ended with an offer: Khrushchev would not send further arms to Cuba and would withdraw Soviet troops if Kennedy promised not to invade the island.
Kennedy acted immediately. He got Robert Kennedy to meet secretly at the Soviet embassy with the ambassador, Anatoly Dobrynin. There he introduced for the first time as part of any settlement the possible removal of the Jupiter missiles from Turkey in exchange for the removal of the Soviet missiles from Cuba.
But as the last hours of Friday ticked away on these notes of optimism, Fidel Castro became convinced that the United States was about to launch an invasion. At 2am on Saturday he went to see the Soviet ambassador, Alexander Alexeyev, and dictated a long letter to Khrushchev in which the crucial sentence read: 'The Soviet Union must never allow the circumstances in which the imperialists could launch the first nuclear strike against it.'
Alexeyev told us: 'I pressed him on this. I said: 'Do you mean to say that we should be the first ones to strike a nuclear blow against America?' And he said: 'I don't want to say this directly. But under certain circumstances we should forestall them. If the Americans attack Cuba we should wipe them off the face of the earth.' Then he said: 'I think the Americans might well risk a war. Let's go to the bunker.'
Khrushchev read the letter as proposing that the Soviet Union should be the first to launch a nuclear strike and this made him realise that the crisis was escalating out of control. Kennedy, too, was worried that he could lose control. McNamara recalls: 'Nuclear warheads in 1962 did not contain today's electronic device which prevents a local commander from launching a nuclear missile without an OK from the President. Kennedy recognised that if we invaded Cuba the Soviets would probably respond in Europe and that in the face of a conventional Soviet attack on Western Europe, local US commanders or troops, rather than be overrun, might take it upon themselves to launch their nuclear warheads.'
THE KENNEDYS later referred to 27 October, the twelfth day of the crisis, as 'Black Saturday'. At 9pm, Radio Moscow began broadcasting a new message from Khrushchev - a hardline demand for the removal of the missiles in Turkey as part of any settlement. At the time, this was attributed to the hawks in the Presidium. However, it now turns out that the new demand was Khrushchev's own, an attempt to build the informal Cuba-for-Turkey proposal into a proper agreement.
At noon, Major Rudolph Anderson, the pilot who had flown one of the U-2 missions that had first detected the Soviet missiles, was shot down over Cuba and killed. The missile that hit him was fired on the orders of local Soviet commanders, but the executive committee of the National Security Council (ExComm), meeting at 4pm, assumed it had been ordered by Moscow deliberately to escalate the crisis.
General Maxwell Taylor reminded the meeting that it had decided four days earlier that if a U-2 were shot down then there would be immediate retaliation: the Air Force had contingency plans to attack early the next morning. To Taylor's disbelief, Kennedy overruled his advisers and called off the plan. 'We won't attack tomorrow,' he said. 'We shall try again.' He felt he was on the brink of a deal with Khrushchev: Soviet missiles out, the US agrees not to attack Cuba and removes its Jupiter missiles from Turkey. The problem was how to clinch it without damaging his reputation. The sticking point was the Jupiter missiles.
The other ExComm members did not know of Robert Kennedy's dealings with Dobrynin and for the President to enlighten them now would appear as if he had given in too soon. So he had to make it look as if the demand in Khrushchev's second letter for a Turkey-for-Cuba trade was the first time the idea had come up, then persuade them that it was a reasonable compromise.
Nearly all his advisers argued that such an open trade would split the Nato alliance. The recommendation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was pressed hard - ignore both Khrushchev's letters, initiate the air strike, invade and occupy Cuba.
As the meeting progressed, McGeorge Bundy - not Robert Kennedy, who later claimed credit for it - came up with the idea that the President should simply ignore Khrushchev's demand over the Jupiters and accept his first proposal as set out in his letter of 26 October, thus putting the onus for war or peace on him. Kennedy appeared to accept this and ordered that such a letter to Khrushchev be sent that evening.
But after the meeting, Kennedy added a secret addition - that while there could be no public or explicit deal over the missiles in Turkey, Khrushchev could have his word that they would be removed once the Cuban crisis was resolved. He was so concerned that this deal might leak to the American public or to Nato that only his closest advisers were told of it. Nevertheless, they anticipated a nuclear exchange the next day. McNamara remembers: 'As I went back to the Pentagon it was a beautiful fall evening. I looked at the sunset and I thought I might never live to see another one.'
IN MOSCOW, Khrushchev had gone to his dacha late on Saturday night to try to get some rest. Kennedy's letter was brought to him there the next morning. He immediately called all the members of the Presidium to the dacha to consider a reply. He argued that 'an immediate positive answer be given Kennedy as long as the United States guaranteed that neither it nor its allies would attack Cuba'.
The Presidium agreed and since every minute was precious, it was decided to transmit the response in a broadcast over Radio Moscow. The announcer began reading the letter before Khrushchev and Rodion Malinovsky, the Defence Minister, had finished writing it.
The crucial sentence read: 'The Soviet government, in addition to earlier instructions on the discontinuance of further work on the construction sites, has given a new order to dismantle the arms which you describe as offensive, and to crate and return them to the Soviet Union.'
Kennedy got the news just as he was leaving for Mass. 'Thank God, it's all over,' he said. General Surikov was more lyrical. 'I came out of the bunker to a golden autumn afternoon and I wept unashamedly as I experienced joy such as I had not known since I survived the Great Patriotic War.'
In Cuba, the Soviet forces began to ship the missiles and their warheads back to the Soviet Union. General Gribkov remembers: 'We told the Americans in advance how many missiles would be on what ships. On the open sea, US warships and helicopters approached our freighters so that they could see and count the missiles. For our military it was a public slap in the face.'
A furious Castro had learnt the realities of superpower politics. Khrushchev had not only failed to consult him on the final settlement, but he had been left to learn of it through the announcement on Radio Moscow. He felt betrayed and cursed Khrushchev as 'a son of a bitch, bastard arsehole, a queer without balls'. In Havana earlier this year, Castro revealed the reason for his anger. 'Nikita's readiness to trade his missiles in Cuba for the American missiles in Turkey proves that the defence of Cuba was subordinate to the defence of the Soviet Union. We realised that in the end Cuba was only a bargaining chip. It was a humiliating time.'
The Kennedy administration now set about creating the legend that the resolution of the crisis had been a great victory for America. For this it was essential that the public did not learn of the Turkey- for-Cuba trade and when Dobrynin tried to get the agreement put in writing, Robert Kennedy crushed this immediately.
Next, all copies of the letters and cables between Kennedy and Khrushchev were retrieved and classified top secret. Ten of them remained so until Washington was forced to release them by a court judgment under the Freedom of Information Act earlier this year.
What were the lessons? Just one, says Robert McNamara. 'The combination of human fallibility and nuclear warheads carry over an extended period of time the near certainty of a nuclear exchange which will destroy nations and threaten our civilisation. The world must move back to a non-nuclear age and we are not on that course today.'

The Wall …............ ? Did You Know? There are 58,267 names now listed on that polished black wall, including those added in 2010. The names are arranged in the order in which they were taken from us by date and within each date the names are alphabetized. It is hard to believe it is 36 years since the last casualties. Beginning at the apex on panel 1E and going out to the end of the East wall, appearing to recede into the earth (numbered 70E – May 25, 1968), then resuming at the end of the West wall, as the wall emerges from the earth (numbered 70W – continuing May 25, 1968) and ending with a date in 1975. Thus the war's beginning and end meet. The war is complete, coming full circle, yet broken by the earth that bounds the angle's open side and contained within the earth itself. The first known casualty was Richard B. Fitzgibbon, of North Weymouth, Mass. listed by the U.S. Department of Defense as having been killed on June 8, 1956. His name is listed on the Wall with that of his son, Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Richard B. Fitzgibbon III, who was killed on Sept. 7, 1965. There are three sets of fathers and sons on the Wall. 39,996 on the Wall were just 22 or younger. The largest age group, 8,283 were just 19 years old 3,103 were 18 years old. 12 soldiers on the Wall were 17 years old. 5 soldiers on the Wall were 16 years old. One soldier, PFC Dan Bullock was 15 years old. 997 soldiers were killed on their first day in Vietnam. 1,448 soldiers were killed on their last day in Vietnan. 31 sets of brothers are on the Wall. Thirty one sets of parents lost two of their sons. 54 soldiers on the Wall attended Thomas Edison High School in Philadelphia. I wonder why so many from one school. 8 Women are on the Wall. Nursing the wounded. 244 soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War; 153 of them are on the Wall. Beallsville, Ohio with a population of 475 lost 6 of her sons. West Virginia had the highest casualty rate per capita in the nation. There are 711 West Virginians on the Wall. The Marines of Morenci – They led some of the scrappiest high school football and basketball teams that the little Arizona copper town of Morenci (pop. 5,058) had ever known and cheered. They enjoyed roaring beer busts. In quieter moments, they rode horses along the Coronado Trail, stalked deer in the Apache National Forest. And in the patriotic camaraderie typical of Morenci's mining families, the nine graduates of Morenci High enlisted as a group in the Marine Corps. Their service began on Independence Day, 1966. Only 3 returned home. The Buddies of Midvale – LeRoy Tafoya, Jimmy Martinez, Tom Gonzales were all boyhood friends and lived on three consecutive streets in Midvale, Utah on Fifth, Sixth and Seventh avenues. They lived only a few yards apart. They played ball at the adjacent sandlot ball field. And they all went to Vietnam.. In a span of 16 dark days in late 1967, all three would be killed. LeRoy was killed on Wednesday, Nov. 22, the fourth anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination. Jimmy died less than 24 hours later on Thanksgiving Day. Tom was shot dead assaulting the enemy on Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. The most casualty deaths for a single day was on January 31, 1968 ~ 245 deaths. The most casualty deaths for a single month was May 1968 – 2,415 casualties were incurred. That's 2,415 dead in a single month. May God comfort, in some way, the pain experienced by the families of these Troops. And may God quicken our minds and memories to remember and appreciate the sacrifice of all who have made a sacrifice in Blood for Our Country. Bruce |

Spring iOS App Simplifies Mobile Shopping
One way to reinvent mobile shopping? Eliminate the shopping cart.
That's the premise of a new iPhone shopping app, dubbed Spring, which promises an instant connection to the brands and products you care most about by using a "follow retailers you particularly enjoy" model.
But this is not the typical "follow" feature found in the social networking world. There's absolutely no social experience to be had within Spring. You can't see who else has followed other brands, you can't tell your friends about brands you like, you can't "like" things for others to see, and you can't benefit from the recommendations of others.
"People love social media, but when brands come in, it gets awkward. We think that the best shopping experience is not user-generated content and brands then jumping in, but how to capture that feeling of walking 5th Avenue or your favorite mall," said David Tisch, Spring co-founder, in an interview with Forbes.
The no-nonsense approach to shopping gives users the opportunity to quickly find their favorite merchants and browse items they might be interested in purchasing. As mentioned, the app comes with no shopping cart if you're buying a suit, you need merely enter the key details (measurements, where to ship, how to pay, what shipping you want, etc.) and swipe your finger on your smartphone to place the order.
Yes, the screen where you enter all this information does feel very much like a shopping card, but as Wired pointed out, the concept of a "one-swipe checkout" reduces the amount of time it takes to purchase an item and ultimately gets a customer to make that purchasing decision when they're most interested. In other words, it takes maximum advantage of the concept of an impulse buy.
On the store side, companies can control exactly what they want their Spring storefronts to look like, and the app integrates seamlessly with their existing payment systemsno small feat. Spring even takes less of a cut for its services than existing e-commerce systems, like Shopify. It also gives brands access to plenty of analytical data about their Spring customers.
Seventy brands are joining Spring's launch, and Tisch expects to have 450 on board by January. Spring has raised $7.5 million in venture capital funding thus far to support its mission of simplifying shopping for allexpect to see Android and iPad versions of the app at some point in the future.
The move comes shortly after Facebook said it would provide advertisers with more data about how users interact with their ads - and which devices they use to purchase them.

HAULAGE REPORT - OPI DS Royal
This was a very fruitful nail polish weekend! Purchased my first Nubars and found two OPI DS's to add to my collection. Which brings me to my NOTD:
OPI DS Royal with Kleancolor Chrome on ring finger. Chrome (on ring finger) was a beautiful gift from one of my MUA NBer (Makeupalley Nailboarder) buddies, faerieberry, she noticed it wasn't in my collection and wahlah there it was.
Not sure if this will be the first and last time I wear this color, as it is definitely not one of my favorites DS's and with space being limited this might have to be one that I let go... :(
My haul consisted of five Nubar's: Prize, Gem, Jewel, Iris Dust and 2010; I also picked up Essie Sew Psyched. And later the same day came across OPI DS Glow along with Precision After Dinner Mints. Today I found the nail polish shown in the picture (OPI DS Royal). I really thought I was going to love this one, but, not so much...
5 comments:
You've got beautiful nails! I love how you paired those two colors together. Pink & purple mixed (borrowing the term from kittyje11) w/ periwinkle or blurple shades together always makes me happy. Royal is one of my bigger lemmings. I seem to prefer the non-holo choices from the Designer Series, like Glow, so I'm really looking forward to DS Magic!

So today I didn't have children. I got to think about lots of fun things from my kiddos lately. I found notes about them that I've written. Apparently…we talked about truckers recently. I do remember this, it's not apparent, I guess. So I asked the kids what kind of trucks you'd like to ride in…and they told me: dump trucks, fire trucks, ice cream trucks (my personal favorite)…and then…bump trucks. Ok. I said…dump trucks? No. Bump trucks. Ummm ok? So. Apparently…a bump truck is a truck that goes up and down in the back. WHAT?! I love these kids…and their social exposure.
So…the adorable story of the day. A little girl…who's since moved came up to me one day while we were packing up and asked me, "Ms. Havens, what's young?" And I replied, "Sweetheart, what are you talking about?" So she went on to say…"I need to know what young is." and so I tried to say, "Well…there's young and old…" and she said…"No…I mean, is it 6 or 7?" and I said, "6 or 7?" and she said, "Yeah…you said 'young ladies pack up your bookbags.' Does that mean 6 or 7?" Oohhhhh children who don't know what "young ladies" are…I love you. And I actually miss a child who moved. 🙂


text: Watchmen Settlement ReachedGraeme McMillan1/15/09 9:45pmFiled to: watchmenWarner BrosFoxLarry gordonMoviesLegalTop441EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Fox and Warners have reached a settlement in their lawsuit over the rights to the Watchmen movie, but exactly what that settlement actually is is remaining a secret... for now, at least. Advertisement Both studios will formally present their settlement to Judge Gary Feess tomorrow morning and request that the court case be dismissed, according to reports. While terms of the settlement are not being released, Fox will not be involved in the distribution of the movie, nor will it make any claim to the Watchmen property moving forward, apparently (although it is believed that the studio will share in profits from the movie's release). Neither studio is confirming the settlement; Warners are refusing to comment, and Fox deny that a final deal has been reached.Part of Warners' cash may come from the pockets of producer Larry Gordon, whose involvement with the property brought about the rights confusion in the first place; Warners are rumored to be looking at ways to make Gordon pay the studio's legal fees for this case, including possible court action. Advertisement Nonetheless, one thing is now known; barring any more unexpected lawsuits, Watchmen will be released March 6th as planned.Warners, Fox settle over 'Watchmen' [Hollywood Reporter]

Ok, what with left wing do-gooders, the PC brigade and immigration in the toilet, not to mention films like "day after tomorrow" showing us how much damage we are doing to the environment i reccon i have the solution to the world energy problem.... Exhume all the war graves from all over the world, open the coffins and put magnets in the battle dress pockets. replace the dead, replace the lid and wrap the coffins in copper wire connected to the national grid. let stuff like the recent cutbacks and emalgamations keep going on, let immigration go to poo and let the PC brigade cancel xmas in birmingham and with our "boys" turning in their graves - bingo! free sustainable power. no harmful gasses, no damage to the environment and no less of a moral standard than the level of taxation on petrol. Or am i just a sick basterd? Rincewind PS i am joking, i have the upmost respect for our war dead.
Hell just 1-2 graves on Normandy and you would be able to power the world, as fast as those guys are spin in light of the recent French shanagins

Money can buy happiness, yep. People who aren't malnourished are happier than people who are.
See, there's this thing called "diminishing marginal returns". Up to a certain point, definitely, the more money you have the happier you're going to be. A roof overhead is great, clothes that aren't filled with fleas are dandy, and a hot meal is probably the best pick-up you can get. However, after a point, money stops making you significantly happier. Whether you can afford that vacation or not doesn't really make you more or less happy. Once basic needs are taken care of, you have other problems to worry about.
You know, it's the same as Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Money can buy the bottom two layers -- it can get you food and keep you warm, it can buy you insurance and a house in a nice neighborhood. True, it can't buy you respect or confidence or love, but by that point, money's already helped you enough.
That so many people here say "money can't buy happiness" says most of us are well off. Then again, we could have probably made that assumption because we all have internet access, hey.

Oh, very cute! I picked up one at Ross, one of those really cheap-fabric $5 tops they have there, just to take it apart and see what they did. Then I had a V-8 moment when I realized I just needed to extend the front!! lol Great job on your sweater!
love-ly! I had been trying to figure out how to make this, thanks for sharing~
mythriftycloset.blogspot.com -
This looks like a fun project. I have a piece of red knit that would be perfect for the sweater. Thanks for sharing the instructions. Saw your project on Craft Gossip.
I can also see this as a waistcoat without the sleeves, it would take less material, so you can pop different coloured tops underneath.
Fabby idea thanks for sharing. -
Probably a dumb question but, the 18″ inches referred to in #2, above, is that 9″ on double fabric or 18″ on each half? I love this and want to make it but do not want to waste material. Thank you for the great ideas.
Very helpful, always wondered about this you made it so clear!

What a great gem that reminds us of eras gone by. I was in Las Vegas last month and was staying at a cheap Vegas hotel and got to visit some of the museums that I haven't been to since I'm usually a Strip visitor. It makes you realize how far a shanty town can come in its evolution into the entertainment capital of the world. | |

This is the California Hotel on Main Street. It is gone. Building on the right is the Exchange Club which still stands. | |

Thank you for commenting on this photograph. The record has been updated to reflect the additional information. | |

There is a sign in front of one of the business. I've been able to read it in one of your other photos and it says, "BOSANKS & POPLIN BROKERS". The other photo is circa 1929 so that would be a good estimate on this photo. The business was likely involved in the Leadfield boom which pretty much an investment scam. | |

Another good catch -- thanks for the info! |

Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Coronary Artery Disease |
Drug: ticagrelor Drug: Placebo |
Phase 4 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator) Primary Purpose: Prevention |
Official Title: | Ticagrelor and Aspirin for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Events After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG) |
- Composite of all-cause mortality, MI, stroke, or repeat revascularization [ Time Frame: within one year following CABG ]
- Improving graft patency [ Time Frame: 3 months post-CABG ]The secondary study objective is to evaluate if the combination of ticagrelor and aspirin administered after CABG will improve graft patency at 3 months, compared with aspirin alone. This will be monitored and assessing in the CT angiography substudy.
Enrollment: | 70 |
Study Start Date: | September 2011 |
Study Completion Date: | March 2015 |
Primary Completion Date: | March 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Placebo twice daily. Study drug will be started within 48 hours of CABG.
Drug: Placebo
Placebo 1 pill BID for 90 days
Active Comparator: ticagrelor 90 mg
Taken twice daily. Study drug will be started within 48 hours of CABG.
Drug: ticagrelor
ticagrelor 90 mg BID for 90 days
Other Name: Brilinta
Detailed Description:
Patients will be screened for eligibility pre-CABG, and informed consent signed before randomization. Aspirin 81mg/d will be started within 12 hours of CABG as per routine practice. Study medication will be started within 48 hours after CABG if there are no contraindications. Patients will be randomized to ticagrelor 90mg bid (no loading dose) or placebo bid for 1 year following CABG. Aspirin 81mg/d will be continued for at least 1 year post-CABG. Other cardiac medications will be at the discretion of the treating physicians as per standard practice.
Patients will be followed daily during their hospital stay. Outpatient visits will be scheduled at 3, 6 and 12 months. There will also be telephone contacts at 1 and 9 months.
CT Substudy:Patients in the CT angiography substudy(the first 240 enrolled subjects) will have a cardiac CT angiogram to evaluate bypass graft patency at 3-month follow-up.Grafts will be separately evaluated based upon the conduits used, internal mammary, radial, or saphenous vein grafts. Graft patency is defined as contrast filling of the conduit and the coronary artery beyond the anastomosis. Grafts with ≥50% stenosis will also be recorded. The location of the stenosis will also be recorded (proximal anastomosis, body of graft, or distal anastomosis). CT angiograms will be evaluated by 2 interpreters (radiologists or cardiologists) blinded to the randomized treatment, and will be reviewed by a 3rd interpreter if there are disagreements. If no consensus could be reached among the 3 interpreters, the graft will be deemed not analyzable, or be subject to invasive coronary angiography for definitive assessment if clinically indicated.
The primary efficacy endpoint is the composite of all-cause mortality, MI, stroke, or repeat revascularization within 1 year following CABG. Secondary endpoints include the individual endpoints of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, MI, stroke, repeat revascularization.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 19 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Senior) |

The Enchanted
by Elaine Cantrell
by his father into a marriage he didn't want, Prince Alan soon finds that his
bride isn't the sweet, submissive creature he expected. Morgane has the heart
of a dragon and beauty beyond compare, but she isn't thrilled about the
marriage either. When black treachery threatens the kingdom, Morgane and Alan
embark on a perilous journey that has an excellent chance of ending in failure
and death for them and all of their people.
Alan moved toward her, her eyes grew wide and filled with wild desperation.
"You fear me, but I am not like your father, Morgane."

people's faces or burning their feet."

that was nice of you. However, I am here in your bed, am I not? My father

which is mine to give. That does not sound like kindness to me."
judge me before you know me, Morgane," he rebuked. "I have no intention of
forcing myself on you. Did it not occur to you that I also would rather not
have wed a stranger? I once married for love, but my wife died four years ago.
Having tasted true happiness with her, I have no desire to bed a stranger."
s face flamed. Some strong emotion that Alan could not identify burned behind
her eyes. "You do not find me desirable?"
He had wounded her vanity. "You are a lovely woman, but..."

Interview Princess Morgane
kind readers. I am Madame de Barra, and
I have been granted the honor of an interview with the Princess Morgane. I am
rather nervous even though I am an experienced interviewer. I have read Madame Cantrell's tale The
Enchanted and must confess that I am all atwitter at the thought of meeting the
princess. Oh! She comes now.
de Barra scrambles to her feet and bows deeply.
"My princess."
Morgane inclines her head to Madame de Barra.
"Please, take a seat, Madame. It
is my honor to meet you."

entire kingdom honors Madame for her marvelous book The Enchanted."
deBarra nods her head. "As a representative of the press, I covered the release

Ratings for Dr. Rita Wittmann
Dr. Wittmann is great. Very intelligent and actually listens to you. I would say you are in good hands with Dr. Wittmann. Yes we are very fortunate to have her. 100 stars wouldn't be high enough rating for her :) As for the receptionist well I kind of agree with the other person here she can be a little incompetent at times. I am not sure as to why this person stays at a job she clearly doesn't like. Maybe one day we will see a cheery new person behind the receptionist desk.
Great doctor goes the extra mile and helps to the fullest!! Cannot do without all her help!!
I was referred to this doctor by my oncologist. After calling four times for an appointment, the receptionist finally called back! I went today for my follow up appointment. I waited an hour an a half, finally walking out when my parking ran out! The entire time listening to the receptionist yap on the phone with her friends making plans for her son! Not ONCE did she apologize for the wait, instead she continued with her personal phone calls! I just received a call from the doctor, stating that I didn't speak with her incompetent receptionist upon leaving! Sorry, I should've waited for her to finish her personal phone calls. I'm sure the doctor is capable, but working in the medical field, this goes beyond acceptable! If you want your phone calls to be ignored and waste your money and time waiting to see this doctor? That's your choice, but I will NOT be doing this again!
Dr. Rita is brilliant! Genuinely Cares! and dedicated to a persons individual needs.
Word cannot express the gratitude I feel for this doctor. She is brilliant and so dedicated to my medical needs. I as a patient am truly blessed that she was recommended to me. As a patient I have not been the easiest, I get flustered and upset as I had never been sick before, so I question everything and every time some other specialist wants me to do something I need to know what she thinks ( they are always right ). So I am learning to calm down. I have such respect for this doctor and again I am truly blessed to be her patient. She is smart, articulate and very caring.
Dr, Wittmann is a true professional and a soft hearted person as well. Dr. Wittmann saved my life by default being in the right place a the right time when I had complications during a medical procedure that went wrong. Dr. Wittmann used her knowledge and skills to "bring me back to life". I and my family are eternally grateful for this lady. I'm sure God has a special place for her.
Dr. Wittman's dedication to her patients/work is truly a miracle. I have never met a Dr that goes beyond the call of duty such as this one. I am truly blessed to have you in my corner. I know I have a long road a head of me and I am hopeful because of you. Thank you so much for being a caring person. I truly appreciate you taking the time to explain my situation. VG
Dr. Wittmann saved my life....................what better tribute can I give!!!!!
Dr. Wittman's perserverance and dedication to her patients is a true asset to our medical system. If only more doctors could be this thorough! She does not give up, nor stop until she has the answer. Not only that, she is personable and compassionate as well. We can't thank her enough for the care she has given not just my mother, but in supporting our family as well through my mother's illness and now, (thankfully) recovery.
Dr Rita Wittman is fantastic!I am very fortunate to have her as my doctor of internal medicine

Erin Go Bragh
And That's No Blarney!
For a delightful St. Patrick's Day celebration at home, dress the table in green, hang shamrocks and leprechauns on the walls, and begin the event with a sip of Sean O'Reilly's Cocktail, a delightful beverage dressed for the holiday in Irish green. Though kiwis are certainly not Irish, they provide the ideal base for a delicious thirst quencher. Spiked with a touch of lemon juice and ginger, the cocktail whets the appetite for the traditional meal ahead. Play some Irish music, sing Irish songs, and, of course, tell an Irish joke or two. As the Irish say, "Be Irish for a day!"
What's In Your GOOD THINGS JAR?
A terrific idea came our way from our neighborhood real estate agent, and we adopted it. We began keeping a GOOD THINGS JAR handy on the counter along with a small note pad and pen. Every time we experience one of those special good things, we quickly write it down, fold the note, and tuck it into the jar.
Send some of your GOOD THINGS to us at email@example.com and we'll gladly share them with our readers. Maybe we can create a GOOD THINGS ZONE where we can take joy in each other's GOOD THINGS. It just may become a place of comfort to cheer you up when times get tough.
Vegetables Are Hot in Kitchens
Across the United States If you're a foodie with a willing and venturesome palate, you may have noticed your favorite restaurants are dishing up some unique fruit and vegetable concoctions recently. Vegetables are HOT with chefs across the country, highlighting them in menus featuring imaginative, vegetable-centric dishes.
Gone are the familiar piles of steamed carrots or broccoli next to mashed potatoes on the plate. Instead, chefs are putting their left-brains into high gear and turning out tantalizing vegetable dishes flaunting exotic herb and spice blends.
What Do You Eat When You Can't Eat Anything?
In Low-FODMAP and Vegan she describes her personal battle with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). "Why aren't we among the majority of vegans who are thriving and feeling fabulous? What's the matter with us?" she writes in the introduction.
The author then explains that there is currently no cure for IBS, but there are ways to manage this ailment by recognizing triggers and "managing our symptoms through a revolutionary scientifically proven method."
German Government Agency Earlier this week, Barbara Hendricks, Germany's environment minister, announced that the government would be instituting a ban on meat at official functions held by the Ministry of Environment, citing the environmental burden of meat production as the reason for the ban.
Animal agriculture is a leading cause of climate change and environmental degradation globally.

Esther the Vegan Wonder Pig
Grows to 670 Pounds,
Has Million Facebook Fans
A couple who bought a micro-pig were stunned when their pint-sized family pet turned into a 670-pound giant.
Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter from Ontario, Canada, adopted Esther thinking she would only grow to around 70 pounds.
But they were tricked and two-year-old Esther has not stopped growing and is now heavier than a fully-grown female polar bear.
Italian Fisherman's Stew Becomes
Tofu Chestnut Cioppino
Typically, the cioppino is served over pasta, which is always a delicious option, but this presentation is simply wholesome, homespun chowder that stands on its own. For a lovely meal begin with a bountiful salad of leafy greens and plenty of chopped veggies dressed with a light balsamic dressing. Then, accompany the cioppino with plenty of lusty whole-grain bread for mopping up the savory sauce.
31% of Americans Choose Meat-Free Days
Meat-free Mondays are really catching on--and so are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, et al. According to a new report by research firm Mintel, 31 percent of Americans are now opting into meat-free days.
This info was revealed as part of Mintel's "The Protein Report: Meat Alternatives US 2017." Health concerns are apparently the top motivator for cutting back on meat, with cholesterol and saturated fat worries leading the pack; weight loss is another key driver of behavior change.
Roamin' for Ramen
in the San Fernando Valley
In search of the best vegan ramen in Los Angeles, we went roamin' for ramen at Gokoku Vegetarian Ramen Shop on Lankershim Boulevard in Studio City to discover what's featured in their ramen bowls. We met our Facebook friends to share this fun exploration.
Yes, even the San Fernando Valley has joined the rousing ramen craze that's gained momentum in food-centered Los Angeles. Opened in September 2016, Gokoku features a menu that is totally vegan with the exception of an optional soft-boiled egg tossed into a ramen bowl.
Poll Tells How Many Vegans Are in US
More and more restaurants and companies are offering vegetarian and vegan meals. For example, Subway is testing a vegan burger in Florida, and Ben & Jerry's recently released four vegan ice cream flavors. But how many people are interested in vegetarian and vegan meals?
To help answer this question, The Vegetarian Resource Group commissioned Harris Poll to conduct a nationally representative online poll of 2,015 adults aged 18 and over. We asked:
Instead of "Raisin' Cain,"
Aunt Nettie Turns to Bakin' Bread Now this is not a recipe that needs a whole day of fussin' an kneadin' 'cause it's not one o' them yeast-raised breads. Some folks calls this a quick bread an' that's jes fine with me. But yer gonna have ta think about this bread the day before ya bakes it, 'cause them l'il ole wheat berries needs 'bout a day ta soak an' soften up before bakin'.
If'n y'all likes soft an' juicy raisins, crunchy nuts, an' a tin full o' spices--why this is yer kind o' bread--an' my oh my what a treat it is!
UK Vegans & Vegetarians Protest Fat Money
It's unusual for someone to refuse money, but that's the case in the United Kingdom when it comes to the new 5-pound note. Why the refusal? Because it violates religious and ethical principles of some of its citizens.
Why is the money causing such consternation? Many UK citizens will answer, "Because it's fat. The 5-pound note that displays a metallic image of Queen Elizabeth on one side and Winston Churchill on the reverse side is made with minute amounts of tallow. Tallow is animal fat.
Vegan Chorizo Wins "Best Meat"
In Trader Joe's Annual Awards The popular chain just released the results of its 8th Annual Customer Choice Awards, and vegan meat alternative dominated in the "Favorite Meat(less)" category.
Customers who voted could choose between any "meat" products the store sells, animal or plant-based. Soy chorizo and meatless meatballs took home the top two spots. Actual meat products came in third, fourth, and fifth.
Lin Silvan & Robert Jacobucci
Receive 24 Carrot Award Vegetarians in Paradise takes great pride in presenting its 24 Carrot Award to Lin Silvan and Robert Jacobucci for their efforts in founding and guiding the Eugene Veg Education Network (EVEN).
Since its inception EVEN has tabled at Earth Day events, distributed literature, held numerous potlucks, offered free vegan starter kits, hosted speakers in the community, and interviewed prominent vegans.
Vegetarians in Paradise Diet Appears After 25 Years of Extensive Research
Tons of diet books make their debut at the beginning of the year because publishers know the inevitable--so many people have added pounds during the year-end festivities. Most diet books promise a new, slimmed-down you that will be the envy of all your friends.
The number of people staying on these diet plans for any length of time is amazingly low, yet not surprising. Most of these diets fail because people feel deprived by the limited calories and smaller portions that leave them hungry and unsatisfied.
Meatless Monday: an Initiative We Should All Support
If we are judged by the company we keep, we are in good company. Vegetarians in Paradise bedfellows turn out to be an impressive group of organizations interested in public health.
The roster of organizations includes Columbia University Mailman School of Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Syracuse University Newhouse School of Public Communications. They're all on board to promote Meatless Monday, a campaign to improve national health and benefit the environment. We would like to urge our readers to join us in bringing this message to the attention of the public.

The SN75ALS161 eight-channel general-purpose interface bus transceivers are high-speed, advanced low-power Schottky-process devices designed to provide the bus-management and data-transfer signals between operating units of a single-controller instrumentation system. When combined with the SN75ALS160 octal bus transceivers, this device provides a complete 16-wire interface for the IEEE 488 bus.
The SN75ALS161 device features eight driver-receiver pairs connected in a front-to-back configuration to form input/output (I/O) ports at both the bus and terminal sides. The direction of data through these driver-receiver pairs is determined by the direction-control (DC) and talk-enable (TE) signals.
The driver outputs general-purpose interface bus (GPIB I/O ports) feature active bus-terminating resistor circuits designed to provide a high impedance to the bus when VCC = 0. The drivers are designed to handle sink-current loads up to 48 mA. Each receiver features pnp transistor inputs for high input impedance and hysteresis of 400 mV on the commercial part, and 250 mV on the military part, minimum, for increased noise immunity. All receivers have 3-state outputs, to present a high impedance to the terminal when disabled.
The SN75ALS161 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
