August Report on Programs & Attendance
Donations Report from Children's Summer Reading Program
Adult Summer Reading Program Report: Shirley noted that the program was so successful that she had been unable to keep up with the flood of book reviews. After she finishes catching up, she will try to work out a simpler system that will generate as much enthusiasm again next summer.
September Calendar of Events
Schedule for Upcoming Programs:
• Grants: Shirley reported that the Library had received a grant from Humanities Iowa to fund eight sessions of the Cold War America book/film series. Allison had accordingly modified the schedule to include four books and four films. Because of this modification, H.I. will pay the scholar directly instead of through the JKPL.

5. Funding of Cold War Series: For past events, we have used the programs and ideas generated by other libraries. Since we are developing this series, Shirley expects that other libraries will want to use our plans. To help with that, Shirley intends to purchase ten copies of each book and a duplicate copy of each film. She has already begun purchasing used copies of the titles, including the CNN video series on the Cold War. Shirley requested that, since this is an extraordinary expense, that Trust Account funds be used to purchase the materials.

Tobi and Kamui
Tobi, it seems, is also a 'Kamui' user - only his is on an entirely new level. While Kakashi has yet to return something from the 'other side', Tobi does this with relative ease.
I think I understand that when Kakashi 'bamfed' Naruto's rasengan a foot away from Tobi, Tobi unknowingly walked into the 'trap' when he got to the point where the rasengan was and rematerialized himself - thus both his right arm and the rasengan were bamfed back at the same point - and thus the kaboom.
Now as for the kunai - note that Tobi was moving towards Naruto even as the kunai got 'bamfed'. His mask got right at the position where that kunai disappeared - or not. I can't explain the kunai and the crack on Tobi's mask it seems.—This unsigned comment was made by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .
- Everything you've mentioned here is speculation. I don't know why people are drawing the conclusion that Tobi uses Kamui from this, but Kakashi's technique is too crass to be compared to what Tobi does. Until it's said in the manga that he uses it, he cannot be added as a user.--Cerez365™(talk) 11:53, August 1, 2012 (UTC)
I actually thought of this differently. What I think happens is that when Kakashi sends something away using Kamui it appears in the same dimension as the one that Tobi goes to. Like Kakashi said what looks like two abilities is actually one. When Tobi phases he is taking his body to the other dimension a little at a time.
When Tobi phases out his physical body, it appears in the other dimension which is where Kakashi (using Kamui) sent the kunai and Naruto's Rasengan. I don't think Kakashi or Tobi can predict where a faster moving object (kunai) might appear in the other dimension which is why Tobi got scratched. However the Rasengan has a larger area of effect so Kakashi could test this method of attack more reliably.
What we can guess in the next encounter is that Gai forces Tobi to phase out of this dimension (again), Naruto attacks first in this dimension but Kakashi shifts the attack to the other dimension so Tobi can't avoid both attacks. At least that's the plan. Tobi still has other techniques he could use. Acegi (talk) 04:07, August 2, 2012 (UTC)
Yes, even though considering that, Tobi hasn't even used the Rinnegan. Let's wait for what he has to say haha. Anyway Kakashi is a Shinobi God. Khaliszt (talk) 12:04, August 2, 2012 (UTC)
How can the transportation and phasing/intangibility be one and the same power? That's kinda a contradiction, isn't it?
- He can't absorb when "ghost mode"
- We have seen him both "absorbing" and being "intangible" both look different, not to mention he can't make others ghost by touch, but can suck them.
- It's said that he has problems absorbing himself, but he can make himself a ghost in an instant.
explanation?--Elveonora (talk) 21:43, August 2, 2012 (UTC)
He probably can't use the technique in both ways at the same time. Think Naruto's "looking left while looking to the right " problem, but without using clones. Techniques do have arbitrary limits imposed by the author. For example, Shinra Tensei's five second cooldown. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:59, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
And there enters what i said in the previous post of this Talk Page: This weak point may be totally covered with the Rinnegan! Khaliszt (talk) 02:04, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, so simply it's the same power somehow, ends in the other dimension but ghost mode is used mostly for defensive purpose while sucking mode mostly for offensive, with the exception of when used on himself?
- According to Konan, he can't use both at the same time, because in order to suck things to the other dimension, he has to come back from it first, ie. become tangible.
- He can stay ghost mode only for a limited time, and in order to use his "sucking" to transfer himself, he has to become tangible.
Hopefully I understand it right. So confusion aside, we haven't learned anything new that we didn't know before, well except Kamui and Tobi's technique sharing the dimension.--Elveonora (talk) 02:30, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
In order to send things to another dimension, he probably needs to stay tangible so that the other dimension has a gateway through which things enter it, a connection to the real world. If he's intangible, it would probably loop. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:29, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
I see, thanks for explanation. What confuses me is how a one power can be used for 2 seemingly different things, hope it gets explained. Sorry if it sounded like a forum post, thought that there's some error due to confusion... now that it's clear, there shouldn't be any issue--Elveonora (talk) 03:39, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
To Trivia
Below the part the shows Gyuki falling into the ground and Naruto is sepaking, one of Gyuki Tentacles is show uncolored (white). Can it be mentioned on the Trivia? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 18:16, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/3/2013 (1582 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Maybe it's something in the water.
(No — not lead!)
But Manitoba Liquor Control Commission product consultants in the Wheat City have some of the finest wine-tasting abilities in the province.
Ever since PCs from outside Winnipeg were (finally) allowed to take part in the annual competition — the first time was 2008 — Brandon has kicked butt.
Debbie Luke took second place in the rural PCs inaugural showing. Then, in 2009, former product consultant Kathy Boultbee, who's moved up the ladder to become a product ambassador and now divides her time between Winnipeg and Brandon, took first place, and Cindy Rousseau placed third. Boultbee held onto the Wine Taster of the Year title for the next two years — 2010 and 2011. Since the contest is for product consultants only, she was unable to compete in the 2012 event due to her promotion.
So last year, first place went to Stephanie Mills from the Grant Park Liquor Mart.
But just days ago, Kevin Kotyk, who's been the product consultant at the Shoppers Mall Brandon location for the past seven-and-a-half years, secured MLCC's Wine Taster of the Year title and brought it home to Brandon. (Dare I add 'where it belongs!')
Kotyk was one of 39 product consultants in the competition this year. And while he's placed second and has tied for third during other installments of the event over the past six years, he was delighted to take the top spot in 2013.
"It was quite a thrill to win the MLCC Wine Taster of the Year Competition in my sixth attempt," Kotyk said. "I had a nice strong showing in the whites — that was the third time I've had the lead after the whites. And I just seemed to do well in the reds, too, this year. I was able to guess the second wine was a Rioja from Spain, which I love, and the third one was a Cabernet Sauvignon from the United States, which was the J. Lohr Cab ($20.22), which I've had before, and it's an excellent wine."
Kotyk said being detail-oriented helped him snag first place, and that trait worked well, too, for 10th and Victoria Liquor Mart product consultant Adrian Swain, who was awarded third place in his first-ever Wine Taster of the Year competition.
"Adrian is really into sports and statistics," Kotyk said of his colleague. "And it helps to be a wine geek or a learning geek. If you like following the news, you know who's who. If you like watching golf on TV, you know the golfers. It's details. So if you're into wine to the same degree, that gives you different wines and regions you can just sort of think of because you like knowledge in general.
"Like one of the questions for the first wine was, 'What is the county, the producer and the region?' So I guessed it was it was Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio ($15.55), and the region, Alto Atige, which is a northern region of Italy where they make Pinot Grigio. So if you know those regions, it gets you a few additional points. But if you're not sort of keen on picking up those kinds of details, then you might miss a few points."
According to Kotyk, the competitors make educated guesses based on experience and instinct, but he was quick to add there's an element of luck involved, too. He enthusiastically credited the three-decades-old Brandon Wine Society as instrumental in helping him and the other Brandon product consultants expand and hone their wine-tasting abilities.
"Tasting wines blind really gives us a skill that we're able to develop," he said. "In Winnipeg, they get to try more wines from the producers — different reps would maybe have like two tastings per week, for instance — and they have the winemakers coming in, so they get a lot of opportunities in that respect. But they KNOW what they're tasting. I don't think they do a lot of blind tasting.
"And here in Brandon, with the Brandon Wine Society, we get to work a little bit harder to try and determine what tastes and flavours and scents we can pick out in the wines, and then guessing where they're from."
Marcel Roberge, manager of the 10th and Vic Liquor Mart for the past 13 years, concurred with Kotyk's hearty endorsement of the Wine Society's contribution.
"I totally agree," Roberge said. "I think it gives them so much. And I think what the Wine Society does, and the fact that our local product consultants do so well in this competition, speaks volumes about the nurturing that happens here in the Wheat City. We have the greatest collection of wine aficionados in Manitoba, if not Canada."
In addition to his title of MLCC Wine Taster of the Year, Kotyk will be treated to a trip to the 2014 Vancouver Wine Festival as part of the winner's bounty. And although he has the utmost respect for his counterparts across the province, he confessed his victory is a just little bit sweeter since he's from outside the provincial capital.
"It shows that the rural community is fond of wine, too, and we're able to compete with Winnipeg," Kotyk said. "It's just nice to be held in the same regard. And yeah — it's nice to show them up. It's fun!"

Phillips Recalls His Senior Night Memories, Ready for Samford
Nov. 15, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. - For the final time before concluding its 2012 home schedule on Saturday against Samford at 7:30 p.m. ET inside Commonwealth Stadium, the University of Kentucky football team took to the practice fields to get ready for the Bulldogs. The Wildcats practiced outside on the Tim Couch Practice Fields Thursday morning after practicing indoors at the Nutter Field House Tuesday and Wednesday.
After practice, head coach Joker Phillips continued to rave about his team's energy and attitude in practice over the last couple of weeks, saying the team has responded well to the circumstances.
"Practices have been upbeat, and given the circumstances, practices have been a lot better than I would have thought," Phillips said. "Again, the reason why I am here is because we have good kids and if I didn't think we had good kids there is no way I would do this because it would be hard for them to get going and for us (coaches) to tell them to get going and have them respond the right way. But the kids are responding."
Saturday will serve as the annual Senior Night game for Kentucky as it will honor a total of 19 seniors, including a redshirt junior forgoing his senior season and a undergraduate assistant coach that would have been a member of the senior class. A full list of players to be honored is listed below.
As for Phillips, who has been involved in many Senior Nights at Kentucky as a player and coach over the last couple of decades, he said he hasn't thought much about Saturday and the emotions that will come with it being his last time in Commonwealth Stadium as head coach of the Wildcats.
"No, I really haven't had a chance to do all of that," Phillips said on what his emotions will be like Saturday. "I have been through it here before, not to this extent being the head coach, but I have been through it. I try to remember how it was then and it was, `Hey, time to move on.' That is the type of attitude I will take with this one ... Very seldom do you get a chance to be at a place coaching for nine years or 10 years. I will take that because very seldom you get that. I had an opportunity to be here 10 years (in his current term), five of them we went to bowl games, coached five years as a coordinator and three years as a head coach. I feel fortunate to be able to do that."
Phillips said he remembers his Senior Night as a player, recalling that it was one of the best games of his collegiate career. More importantly to Phillips though, he wants to see consecutive Senior Night wins for the Wildcats.
"You always knew you were going to play a tough Florida team," Phillips said about his Senior Day as a player at Kentucky. "I probably had one of the better games I ever had in college that is one of my memories. But again, the biggest memory was we didn't win the game. That is why I think it's important for these guys to walk off this field as a winner. There haven't been a lot of guys since we changed the schedule to win their last game here at Commonwealth. Last year's seniors were one of the few senior classes that has won their last game here at Commonwealth. I would love to see us have two senior classes back-to-back win their last game here."
Phillips said most of the seniors are already seeing significant playing time and there will not be expanded roles for those that normally do not. However, Phillips said they will try to expand senior Morgan Newton's involvement either as a H-back or a quarterback.
"I think we will try to expand Morgan's role a little bit more as an H-back and we were trying to do some things like that before but some of the injuries happened at quarterback," Phillips said. "We have been working on some of them and we will figure out how much he plays. We do have some packages with him at quarterback that we can continue to work."
On the injury front, Phillips said true freshman linebacker Pancho Thomas will play Saturday. According to Phillips, Thomas has a "wrap on his hand" and will be in a cast for the game but will play.
Kentucky will have a walk-through practice Friday morning to conclude all on-field preparation for Samford.
Wildcats to Honor 2012 Seniors Saturday Before Kickoff: The University of Kentucky will honor its 2012 senior football players on Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium when the Wildcats host Samford at 7:30 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to be in the stadium 30 minutes prior to kickoff to help salute the seniors. A total of 19 seniors will be honored during a pre-game ceremony, including redshirt junior offensive lineman Steven Duff, who is graduating on time and forgoing his senior season, and undergraduate student assistant coach Sam Simpson.
The seniors being honor are:
#31 Mikie Benton, DB, Russellville, Ky.
#27 Aaron Boyd, WR, Lexington, Ky.
#73 Steven Duff, OG, Louisville, Ky.
#84 Gabe Correll, TE, Cincinnati, Ohio
#19 E.J. Fields, WR, Frankfort, Ky.
#16 La'Rod King, WR, Radcliff, Ky.
#85 Gene McCaskill, WR, Chester, S.C.
#93 Craig McIntosh, K, Lexington, Ky.
#1 Martavius Neloms, DB, Memphis, Tenn.
#12 Morgan Newton, QB, Carmel, Ind.

#67 Larry Warford, OL, Richmond, Ky.

(4.5g) Sante's Lipstick comes in gorgeous, natural colors. Sante's Lipstick provides soft lip care and gentle protection. Use Sante's Lipstick for irresistible lips. Translucent or intense, trendy or classic, Sante has the perfect shade of Lipstick for you. Sante's Lipstick is infused with organic jojoba. Sante's Lipstick is skin-friendly and free of synthetic coloring agents, fragrances or preservatives. Sante's Lipstick is conveniently sized to fit into any purse or cosmetic bag with room to spare for your other favorite Sante cosmetic products! Brilliant Eye-Catchers: Seductive lips in soft subtle shades - or an intense glossy look. It's up to you. Sante's lipsticks, lip glosses and lip duos come in an unmatched palette of colors and shades, providing nourishing care and let your lips shine, whatever the occasion! All Sante's raw materials are tested to be free of lead and other heavy metals often found in lipsticks. Standards and QualityManufacturing personal care products without synthetic preservatives requires especially careful handling of both raw materials and finished products, as the slightest contamination can ruin an entire production run. Sante utilizes GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), the pharmaceutical industry's production standard, to guide their manufacturing processes. Sante also continuously improves their product quality to keep current with advances in manufacturing and ingredient standards. However, no advance in product quality comes at the cost of Sante's steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility. Sante's foremost goal is to make quality personal care products with minimal impact on the planet and its resources. CertificationsSante's raw materials are of the highest quality and, whenever possible, of certified organic origin. In addition, nearly all Sante products are certified by BDHI and NaTrue, two independent certification standards that award their seal to products that comply with the strictest natural standards. Plant ExtractsChamomile from Egypt, rosemary from France, linden blossom from Croatia, horsetail from Portugal – Sante's Research & Development team analyzes plants from all over the world to determine the best resources for their products. And, because production methods play an equally important role in the quality of a plant extract, Sante produces many of their own extracts. By utilizing a mixture of bio-ethanol, water and glycerin (standard extracts are usually made using only ethanol and water) Sante slowly and gently releases the active plant ingredients. The addition of glycerin and their six to eight hour extraction process allows Sante to capture more of the active plant ingredients than with a standard ethanol and water mixture. With few exceptions, the plants Sante sources for their extracts are certified organic. And, most of Sante's plant extracts are from classic medicinal plants, making them extremely effective. About SanteDuring the 1970's, Europe experienced a wave of environmental consciousness and activism. Organic agriculture, renewable energy and environmental responsibility became the watchwords of the movement. In 1975, a group of inspired and like-minded friends opened a shop, Lorien Goods, in Hanover, Germany. Their shop featured the few products available at the time that fit the values of the new, green movement. To expand their shop's selection and to wholesale to other stores, the group began to import products from outside of Germany. In 1977, they decided it was time to begin manufacturing their own body care products and the company, Logona, was born. In 1990, the company (now called Logocos) added a new line of natural care products, SANTE, to appeal to a younger consumer. Sante is committed to manufacturing and packaging body care products in an ecologically and socially responsible manner, and strict ingredient quality standards are of fundamental importance in Sante's product formulation and manufacturing. Sante products utilize the highest quality, natural raw materials, such as: premium botanical oils, herbal extracts and essential oils derived from organic agriculture and wild-crafting. In addition to rigorous ingredient standards, Sante also meets or exceeds industry sustainability standards for minimizing resource consumption during manufacturing and for minimal and recyclable packaging for their finished products. Today, Sante, together with Logona, serves as a leading supplier of natural personal care products throughout Europe and is currently expanding into the North American marketplace.

Making maps work for communities
1 November 2011
Maps are not only a matter of geographic record, they are also persuasive visual documents that can be used to improve local environments, as many communities are finding with the help of Mapping for Change.
Visualizing the problem
A map can tell you where you are. But it can also show how to get where you'd like to go – and not only in terms of geography. In 2005, Professor Muki Haklay, a senior lecturer at UCL department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, began work in collaboration with London 21 Sustainability Network, a charity set up in order to connect a range of voluntary activities in the capital. After improving the online London Green Map, they continued to collaborate and created 'Community Maps' to address a variety of concerns in ten different London communities, and in the process developed both a software system and a general methodology with the ability to represent important social or environmental issues in a compelling visual way.
Joined by Chris Church and Louise Francis, this became Mapping for Change, an independent social enterprise forged between London 21 and UCL. Using a business plan developed with the help of UCL Enterprise, Mapping for Change is now positioned to extend its range of work from communities to government organizations and blue-chip charities and voluntary organizations interested in new ways of strengthening links with their locality.
See the noise
The approach is straightforward, yet uniquely focuses on both online and off line activities. First, a dialogue is established with a community that has an issue of concern. Members of the community are then actively involved in gathering relevant data, for example taking sound-level readings for a noise map in the case of one neighbourhood in Deptford, where a scrap yard was felt to be a nuisance. Mapping for Change brings its expertise in geographical information science to plot these data points on a map.
'When you complain about noise to a local authority, they view it as a subjective opinion,' observes Haklay. 'But when you come in with readings on a map, it's evidence.' Locals acknowledge the power of the method. 'One of the critical things was the professionalization of the results,' agrees Lewis Herlitz of the Pepys Community Forum in Deptford. Now this community is using the same technique to tackle local air pollution.'
Maps tell stories
Many different kinds of information can be presented in map form. In Hackney Wick, locals wished to record local landmarks that were due to disappear with the development of the London 2012 Olympic Games site. The project has an online platform, so people can add further sites and stories, while an SMS facility developed by a UCL research student with Mapping for Change means that local events can be advertised this way. Once they've taken place they are taken off the map, but the information is retained in an archive, saving a record of neighbourhood life.
Community Maps has recently been used to explore the potential for community asset development and social enterprise on the waterways network of the UK. The Waterways Project at CIVA aims to ensure that the new waterways trust, scheduled to replace British Waterways, maximizes the opportunities for civil society, local communities and other stakeholders to actively engage in the management of this network. "The mapping process has been positive in stimulating local debate and has got people thinking and engaging in hubs at the local level" explains Ben Metz, the CIVA project co-ordinator
Are these maps the tool of the future for building community consensus and lobbying power? 'The short answer is yes,' says Herlitz.

Looking forward to find out who he is gonna be matched with next
Browns very good but that div' has about 2 teirs of fighters before you get to the title challenger(s) and Champion. Gsp,Hendricks,Condit and co- then the Ellenbergers,Marquardts-then u got Koscheck,Shields,Thiago Alves' etc. Some decent wins with Swick and Pyle,but imo needs to get a step up,and all the title talk just seems to be the done thing atm to make sure people keep talking,like now.
Browns on a good run,but still some work to do in a div' of killers
"The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war"
Good fighter that he is (and great to watch) I can See him being a gate keeper for guys stepping up to the top of the division. I'd give him very little chance against the likes if ellenburger, condit, Rory, Hendricks etc but be has certainly earned the right to fight the top guys. I'd like go see him go in against either Diaz or silva, would be great fights
hello again. ttt does matt deserve fuckin title shot now?
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
What has he done to deserve a shot apart from beat tough guys outside the top 10.
Retired 2k and out.
one more fight and he deserves title shot

Final Men's Results (pdf)
Easton, Pa. - The men's cross country team continued its progress at Lafayette's Leopard Invitational, besting 11 other teams on its way to a second place finish with 55 points. Only American (27 points) was able to outrun the Quakers on the day.
A strong freshman class has keyed Penn's turnaround this year and Saturday was no different. New faces Brendan Smith (seventh, 25:22.05) and Brandon Clark (eighth, 25:36.48) were the top two finishers for Penn, giving the Red and Blue a solid foundation for its success in the race. They were followed closely by senior captain Kevin Foy, who came in 10th with a time of 25:42.36 in the 8K race.
Seniors Mike Kiley (25:51.16) and John Foye (25:56.79) finished 14th and 16th, respectively, to close out the scoring for the Quakers. Penn's non-scorers also performed well, with freshman Thomas Awad finishing 18th in a time of 26:03.83 and sophomore John Trueman crossing the line in 21st with a time of 26:12.26.
The Red and Blue are next in action in two weeks at the Ivy League Heptagonals race. Action from Princeton's West Windsor Fields will get going at 11 a.m. on October 27.

The coroner has finally revealed the cause of death and said Joey died of an accidental opiate overdose. Is there ever really a way to determine an on purpose overdose? Unless someone leaves a note, I would think they would all be accidental. At the time of his death, Joey's family believed drugs were responsible for his death.

Is Lana Del Rey performing at KimYe's wedding?
Listen to Lana Del Rey on iHeartRadio | Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Kanye West is apparently still determined to have Lana Del Rey sing for his bride-to-be.
The U.K. newspaper The Mirror is reporting that the pop singer has agreed to perform her song "Young And Beautiful" at the rapper's much-anticipated wedding to Kim Kardashian, that's supposedly taking place this weekend in Paris.
A source is telling the tabloid that Kanye called up Lana personally, explaining how special her song is to them as a couple, and also sweetened the deal by offering to pay her six-figures and fly her out to Europe.
Lana had reportedly refused Kanye's first attempt to book her last year. The rapper apparently tried, and failed to get Lana to perform when he proposed to Kim at the AT&T Stadium in San Francisco.

Rush Limbaugh guest Tim Russert: "Should I nominate you" to be the next Meet the Press moderator?
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
After more than five weeks of comments by radio host Rush Limbaugh condoning and trivializing the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. military guards at Abu Ghraib prison, Tim Russert -- managing editor and moderator of NBC's Meet the Press -- said it was "an honor" to be a guest on Limbaugh's June 10 show. Following a discussion of Russert's new book, Big Russ & Me: Father and Son -- Lessons of Life, Limbaugh asked whom Russert would choose to succeed him as moderator of Meet the Press. Russert replied, "Should I nominate you?" Limbaugh concluded the interview by saying, "I always enjoy talking to you, and I appreciate our relationship over the years."
From the June 10 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: [W]e don't often have guests on this program, but we made an exception, here, for our friend, Tim Russert of NBC News and we -- Tim? How are you, first off. Nice to have you with us. It's a real pleasure.
RUSSERT: It's an honor to be here, Rush. Thank you very much.
LIMBAUGH: When you get to your rank, succession become[s] something that's often discussed. You will eventually become president of the news division of NBC. Who will you hire to replace you as the moderator at N -- at Meet the Press?
RUSSERT: ...I -- if I got hit by a truck tomorrow, I -- who -- who would take -- who should take over? That's a good question. What do you think, Rush?
LIMBAUGH: [laughs] I haven't thought about it. In all candor. That's why I asked you. You are such a fixture. I don't see anybody else in that chair.
RUSSERT: Well, thanks, I -- I mean, I --
LIMBAUGH: I -- I actually don't --
RUSSERT: -- should I nominate you?
LIMBAUGH: Look, Tim, I appreciate [laughter] -- that would fly. That -- you ought to try it, Tim, see how long those 12 years last you at NBC. [laughter] Anyway, this has been fun. I always enjoy talking to you, and I appreciate our relationship over the years.
In addition to reporting Limbaugh's highly controversial statements regarding the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal, Media Matters for America has also documented numerous distortions and misrepresentations by Limbaugh:

Every good story begins with a problem. A plane crashes on a desert island, leaving its occupants stranded. Two lovers are separated by their families' hostile feud. A girl falls down a rabbit hole and loses her way in a nonsensical land. By the end of the story, the characters have either surmounted impossible odds to achieve their goal, or succumbed to the impossible odds in a blaze of failing glory. We typically refer to the first kind of story as a comedy, and the second as a tragedy.
Walt Disney's classic princess films are all comedies. Once the hero and heroine overcome all pending disasters, they are free to meet their perfectly comedic ending and live happily ever after. It is with this idea of a perfect ending that I have trouble.
While some of the princesses encounter truly frightening problems—being chased by a murderous queen or being locked in a castle with a giant monster—for the most part, the only problem the princesses encounter regarding their significant other is an inability to reach them. Each film ends at a moment of bliss: love conquers all, and the prince and princess can finally be together without restraint. Yet this is the catch: the problems they've overcome have been outside hindrances to their union. They have not had the time to test their love—or more accurately, their infatuation—with real living. Here are some examples:
Snow White. The heroine is frightened when a strange man trespasses into the palace, sneaks up on her, and listens to her sing. He coaxes her out onto her balcony with a song of his own, and then leaves with a dashing smile. Even though the two did not speak to each other, Snow White spends the rest of the film pining away for her prince and hoping that "someday my prince will come." When he shows up to waken her from a sleeping death, they ride off into the sunset on the prince's horse.
Sleeping Beauty. Aurora also meets her prince while singing in the forest, and he enchants her in the span of one dreamy afternoon. When Aurora returns home and discovers that she is neither an orphan nor a common village girl, but the princess and heiress of the realm with two loving parents waiting for her return, she does not rejoice. Instead, she abandons her birthday party to cry in her room, despairing of never seeing the fascinating stranger again. Like Snow White's prince, Phillip too, awakens his princess from sleep, and the two dance among the flashing lights of Aurora's color-changing dress.
The Little Mermaid. Ariel sees her prince from afar and does not even interact with him before she is willing to risk losing her soul to be a "part of his world." Even though she knows nothing about him and he is of a different species, Ariel becomes desperately infatuated and follows him at all costs. After attempting to win his love with no voice and fighting a giant squid, she and Eric get married and sail off into the distance, their ship framed under a rainbow.
These "happily ever afters," while idyllic, are superficial and incomplete, because the relationships between the hero and heroine are not deep or well-cultivated. Instead, they are shallow and based on physical (and vocal) attractiveness instead of a long-term knowledge of each other's personality and character. The man is gallant, strong and honorable; the woman is frail, virtuous and naive. Even in Tangled and Aladdin, in which the heroes are deceptive thieves, by the end their innate goodness becomes obvious to everyone around them.
The danger of such fantasies—whether applied to Disney princesses or couples of other romantic films—is that they portray relationships as requiring no work at all: no self-sacrifice, no mistakes, no differing opinions or frustrating compromises. The characters don't have to deal with their beloved's flaws. The unrealistic and ideal image of love that young (and old) girls cling to makes them disappointed if their reality doesn't match up with the enchanting fantasy of Disney magic. Instead of making sacrifices, working hard, and choosing to love, they walk away. Today's discouraging relationship statistics are a reflection of disappointed Disney princess ideals.
There are, of course, some exceptions to this rule. In Beauty and the Beast, Belle's story is a bit better—she doesn't know the Beast is a hot prince, and must learn to get along with and love him before the two can live happily ever after. (Of course, Belle also stands as Exhibit A for Stockholm syndrome, so she's still not the ideal role model for romance.) DreamWork's Shrek franchise also makes the hero and heroine live out their "happy ending" with marital and parenting problems. And there are other Disney princess films that give a more moderate view on relationships—Mulan and Shan Yu leave the film as friendly crushes, and Pocahontas parts with her love but remains with him in spirit.
Don't get me wrong—I love happy endings. And as Christians, we know that our own ending will be the happiest of all: we will live for eternity worshiping our Maker in His presence and enjoying the fruits of His love, which is the very fulfillment of our existence. No better ending exists in any story. However, we should be wary of stories that lure us with the siren call of a counterfeit Prince Charming, and instead look to better examples for healthy relationships, such as Christ's self-sacrifice and patience in the face of sin and failure.

By establishing a strong foundation in analysis, accounting and mathematics, students who major in economics are provided with the tools to pursue careers in business, government and other theoretical applications. Core courses in economics describe the major economic institutions and the theory that explains their operations, with a focus on the problems of efficiency in the allocation of resources, full employment, price stability and economic growth.
With career paths or graduate school clearly defined, graduates with a degree in economics are also well equipped to engage and serve their communities—often lending their knowledge to issues surrounding fiscal policy, banking, and legal and governmental affairs.

Exam Gowns Offer Comfort During Medical Procedures
Exam gowns make medical procedures a little bit easier for everyone involved. They provide medical professionals with easy access to areas of the body while keeping the patient as covered and comfortable as possible. The gowns come in all shapes and styles, so they are ideal for any medical procedure. From disposable paper gowns to easily washable fabric versions, exam gowns are a necessary tool in any medical facility.
Modesty During Medical Procedures
At some point in their lives, all people face that dreaded moment when they have to slip on a paper exam gown for a medical procedure. No ones loves wearing them, so help your staff make that moment more comfortable for patients by having the right kind of gown on hand for any situation. For mammograms and other upper-body exams, stock up on capes and vest that protect the patient's modesty by allowing partial coverage. Exam shorts offer a roomy fit, moisture-resistant fabrics and a stretch waistband that makes them easy to put on and take off. Full gowns work great for general exams or imaging procedures, and they come in either paper or fabric versions to suit your clinic's needs.
Printed Gowns in Children's Sizes
Your staff is sensitive to the fact that medical exams can be scary for little kids. Doctors, nurses and lab techs try hard to make a visit to the doctor or hospital a less intimidating one for their smallest patients. You can do your part to make the experience more kid-friendly by ordering some exam gowns in cheerful printed fabrics. These colorfully designed duds help kids relax so that your staff can get the procedure over with as quickly and efficiently as possible and let the little ones go back to having fun.

6. Sometimes a reticent relative will open up if you're doing some activity together, such as taking a walk, knitting or fishing. Also try these questions from Hindsight Media to draw out the person:
• What did you do during the summer months when you were a child?
• Did you have pets?
• What are your strongest sibling memories?
• What did you think you wanted to be when you grew up? Did it change, or come true?
• What did you do on dates?
• Did you ever have a boyfriend/girlfriend your parents didn't approve of?
• How were your grades in school?
• What was your first job and how did you get it? Did you ever get fired or promoted?
• What is the secret to a good relationship? (If the person is or was married.)
• How are you like your parents? How are you different?
• Who knows you better than anyone?
• What makes you laugh the hardest?
• What is the bravest thing you have ever done? The scariest? The dumbest?
• What would I be surprised to learn about you?
• What was to hardest decision in your life?
• How did World War II affect your family?
• What does it take to be a good parent?
7. Looking at old photos can spark memories, so bring along several showing the people you want to ask about. Bring a family tree, too.
8. If your relative has old photos, bring your scanner and ask permission to scan them. Offer to digitally repair any tears or creases (if you're able to) and make prints or put them on CDs to share.
9. Jot down pertinent details during the interview, but writing the whole time is distracting. Instead, ask permission to use a digital recorder or videocamera. Test the equipment before you leave home, and bring extra batteries. Promise the recording for informational purposes and you'll share it only with family, if anyone. If the person is uncomfortable, don't record the conversation. Then you'll have to take plenty of notes, and stop on the way home to write down more of what you remember fromt the conversation.
10. Never be without a notepad and pen at a family gathering. Family history can come up during the most casual conversations over dinner or during halftime.
11. Transcribe the interview while it's fresh in your head. You could write out the whole thing, or listen to it and just transcribe parts you're interested in. You also can have a transcription service such as Tapescribe do this for you, but if the interview's on tape, send a copy and keep the original.
12. To cite information from the interview in your genealogy software, follow this format:
Title: Oral interview with Holly Ann (Schmidt) Devereaux of Fort Wilson, KS,
10 Feb. 1997
Author: Ellen Schmidt, interviewer
Publisher: Notes by Ellen Schmidt
Location: Ellen Schmidt, Dayton, Ohio
13. Don't forget to send a handwritten thank-you note within a few days of the interview.

Fondant can be flavored using alcohol-based flavor extracts (vanilla, almond, lemon or any other favorites) or oil-based candy flavors. Candy flavors are very concentrated, so you'll need much less of these than an extract. You knead the flavors into the fondant, just as you do icing color to color the fondant.

Romain Grosjean cruised into Q3 at the Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve and then set the seventh fastest time in qualifying, beating Paul di Resta, Michael Schumacher and Jenson Button. Meanwhile, team-mate Kimi Räikkönen suffered a hydraulics issue which means he'll starts tomorrow's Canadian Grand Prix in 12th place.
Kimi Räikkönen : "Obviously it's disappointing to go out in Q2 but we had some issues with the differential which meant the car wasn't handling as it should. When the grid is so tight it makes a big difference not having the car exactly as you like it. Still, we had no issues on the long runs yesterday, we have options to choose from with the tyres, and the warmer weather is definitely suiting us better so hopefully we can put everything right before tomorrow and go from there."
Romain Grosjean: "The car felt pretty strong but my last run could have been better, which is a shame. Still, making it through to Q3 is never a bad thing and it's a long race tomorrow. Our car has been quite easy on tyres so far this season and hopefully that could make the difference. Last time I started in P7 we ended up on the podium, so let's hope it can happen again tomorrow!"

WATCH: Kerry Washington spoofs her own magazine covers on 'Ellen'
Kerry Washington made an appearance on Ellen on Thursday and the actress had some funny comments about the countless covers she is gracing this month.
She and Ellen DeGeneres had a good laugh at some of the real and fake magazine covers and the Scandal star and mom-to-be had something to say about each and every one.
Chess Masters, for example, "I worked hard for that," she joked. "Thank God for my publicist for that one."
And Kale Quarterly, Kale is really good for you," she quipped. "You know I'm a Gaga fan, so when she did the meat dress I said I would do the kale dress."

New Father scared to hold baby
My husband is scared to hold our newborn. How can I get him to feel more comfortable in holding our baby?
4th May 2014 05:16 AM #2
Dear steviej,
This is a common concern for new parents. Has he tried sitting down comfortably first and then getting you to slowly pass him your baby? Another excellent option for holding a newborn securely and safely is a sling - a stretchy sling (such as the Karime, Moby or JPMB) is great for this age. He can pre-tie it on himself and then you can gently slide the baby into position. By the way stretchy slings like these are also helpful for breastfeeding and having your hands free/ being able to walk about (it takes a little practice). Most baby's settle well in a sling because they feel secure, safe and close to their parent.
Let me know what you think.
Warm wishes,

Thank you! We couldnt get the sling but can you believe using the nursing pillow helped! My husband felt comfortable that there was cushion under him and as he got comfortable with the baby so close we slowly removed the nursing pillow and got him to be held;reminding him the baby is not so fragile he wont break.

'"I think there are a couple of important factors when you look at situations like this," Regier said of his decision to allow Stafford to skate. "Probably the most important thing is that you really want to keep pressure on the process. There is a lot of pain if you don't have the player, and there's a lot of pain if the player isn't here. I think that has a way of putting pressure on the process and getting deals done. We made enough progress yesterday to decide collectively that it would be good for him to be here and we'll keep working at it today."'

Viet Pham was booted off the reality-competition show "Food Network Star" on Sunday night. Blame the missing peppers.
Pham, co-owner of Forage restaurant in Salt Lake City, was one of 12 contestants on the ninth season of the show.
On episode 5, the remaining eight contestants were tested on their ability to cook live. In the first challenge, they made a sausage-and-pepper sandwich within a couple minutes as if they were on live TV but with surprises, like a fire alarm or the lights going out. For Pham, the pan of peppers disappeared. He eventually shrugged it off and suggested making a salad. But not before asking several times, "Where are the peppers?"
After the second challenge making parts of a 4th of July picnic live the judges praised Pham for his charm and great cooking, but said he loses confidence when the cameras roll.
He has a chance to make it back on the show by winning a web series called "Star Salvation."
Pham was gracious in losing. He tweeted, "Those damn phantom peppers they're here one moment and gone the next!" and "I had the time of life on @FoodNetwork Star. I learned so much and made friends for a life time. It was my destiny and I'm content with that."
While he no longer cooks at Forage, he will be opening his own restaurant in Park City this summer, Fire and Water.
Copper Onion among 100 best for wine
The Copper Onion restaurant in Salt Lake City was named one of America's 100 Best Wine Restaurants for 2013 by Wine Enthusiast magazine.
The restaurant, at 111 E. 300 South in downtown Salt Lake City, was the only Utah restaurant to make the list.
The magazine said the restaurant's destination bottles were Orin Swift 2009 D66 Grenache, David Phinney 2011 E-1 Red, and Sea Smoke 2010 Ten Pinot Noir.
In the accompanying write-up, the restaurant owners said "wine drives the food by offering versatility to the guest with more than 18 wines available by the glass and quartino to pair with regional American fare."
The Copper Onion restaurant has just launched its "summer of Rosés," offering a selection of Rosé wines through Labor Day to complement the seasonal cuisine and celebrate the freshness of summer.
The wine is available by the glass, quartino or bottle, with prices by the glass ranging from $8 to $11 and for the bottle from $38 to $56. One type, 2011 Mouton Noir Love Drunk from Willamette Valley in Oregon, is only served at The Copper Onion.
The Copper Onion is open Monday-Saturday, 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m. for lunch; Sunday-Thursday, 5-10 p.m.; Friday-Saturday, 5-11 p.m.; and Sunday brunch, 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m.
