Rihanna breaks pop charts record with 11 number ones!
Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio
Rihanna now has the most number ones on Billboard's Pop Songs Chart than any other artist in its history.
Her latest collaboration with Eminem, "The Monster," hit the top spot this week, bringing her career-long total up to eleven. The single pushes Rihanna past her pop star pal Katy Perry.
Until now, the two were tied at the top with ten each. "The Monster" is also the fourth number one for Eminem. The rapper previously reigned on the pop chart with his hits "Without Me," "Lose Yourself" and another Rihanna-assisted song "Love the Way You Lie."
Congrats RiRi!

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
September 11, 2008 | When the federal government announced two months ago that it would be seizing mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government proceeded with the takeover and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25).
Lawmakers Peer-Pressured Into Joining the Party
August 11, 2008 | Congress, with its cliques and hierarchy, is one of those places that's described as operating a lot like high school. And, as in school, there's peer pressure among lawmakers—pass this bill, support this amendment, appropriate these funds. As Election Day approaches, some members are being rebuked for not paying dues to their own party.

JAY Z's 'Picasso Baby' special to air on HBO
Listen to JAY Z on iHeartRadio
JAY Z fans will get their first look at the visuals from the rapper's epic six hour long performance at New York's Pace Gallery earlier this month. A trailer posted on YouTube reveals that the special titled "Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film" will air on HBO Friday, August 2nd at 11:00 p.m. Eastern.
In the video, Jay also says rap boils down to "thinking out loud," adding that rappers put their fears and vulnerabilities into their music. The trailer shows appearances by celebrities such as director Judd Apatow and actor Alan Cumming, as well as artist Marina Abramovic.
The "Picasso Baby" special will follow Jay Z's appearance on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher."

The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and other agricultural advocates are calling on the Senate during the farm bill debate to maintain current funding levels for federal crop insurance and to avoid amendments that result in less participation, lower premiums or a weaker delivery system. In a joint letter to senators, the coalition wrote that federal crop insurance provides an effective risk management tool to farmers and ranchers of all sizes and reduces taxpayer risk exposure.
"Crop insurance is the cornerstone of most farmers' risk management portfolios," the coalition wrote. "After a very challenging 2011 crop year, and with increasing demands for food, fiber, feed and fuel worldwide, it makes little sense to reverse the great progress Congress has made in providing crop insurance protection to producers."
Efforts to weaken the crop insurance program will ultimately hurt small producers because higher rates will drive producers from the program, which will lead to fewer premium dollars paid in to support it. The crop insurance program has already had billions of dollars in cuts in recent years. Congress was able to avoid another costly ad hoc disaster program last year despite a severe drought in Texas and surrounding states because of the effectiveness of the crop insurance program and its broad coverage levels. "But reducing participation and causing rates to increase on remaining program participants is a path backward toward periodic, multi-billion-dollar ad hoc disaster programs," stated Mark Scanlan, ICBA's senior vice president of agriculture and rural policy.
Farmers do not receive subsidy checks for crop insurance but rather receive discounts on the checks they write to pay premiums and buy insurance from private sector providers. Producers often pay premiums for years without collecting anything and only receive payments in the event of a loss. Congress should maximize participation to ensure the lowest rates possible for all producers in the program, which only occurs when risks are pooled across as many farmers as possible.
In addition to proposed crop insurance cuts, ICBA also opposes amendments to reimpose term limits or restrict access to USDA guaranteed farm operating loans and amendments to restrict or prohibit USDA guaranteed loans. Such approaches would needlessly force thousands of farmers and ranchers out of the program; cut off farmers' income stream; inhibit their ability to repay lenders, suppliers and the USDA; and force many farmers into unnecessary liquidations. The USDA has adequate funds to meet loan demand, and other farm programs do not have term limits. ICBA notes that borrowing and lending decisions should be made at the local level between community banks and their farm and ranch customers.

Ratings for Dr. B. Beth Prinz
Doctor does not spend time with patient and does not listen. She does not adjust medication when needed. Does not return calls or follow up. She has an attitude and does nothing for the well being of the patient.
First saw Dr Prinz in Aug 2012 regarding my calf swelling; She asked a lot of questions,examined my leg and immediately scheduled me for an ultra-sound at the hospital where they found a massive blood clot that had I not had surgery on would have taken my life. I was scheduled for emergendy surgery the follow morning early and spend 3 days in ICU and had one more surgery. Had she not sent me for the ulta sound, I would have gone to Big Bear, CA and at that altitude it is more than likely that the clot would have moved into my lungs and killed me. I credit her with saving my life that day. I've seen her several times since that first appointment for other issues and she always is punctual and listens to me when I am speaking. She always asks questions and in my opinion is perhaps one of the best doctors I've seen in the past 25 years or so. The office staff are always friendly and fairly easy to reach on the phone.

Anderson, Catherine. Star Bright
Fearing that her powerful, abusive husband is planning to murder her as she suspects he murdered his first two wives, Rainie Hall fakes her own death with the help of her friends and moves to Crystal Falls, Oregon, to start anew. She is hesitant about applying for the bookkeeper job she sees listed at a local horse ranch—what if her employer checks her references and discovers she's using a fake identity?—but she has to work so she takes the risk. Parker Harrigan, her new employer, is a handsome, strong, intelligent man; at first angry when he discovers her deception, he also realizes that she's most likely running for a good reason and keeps her on. Meanwhile, back in Seattle, Rainie's husband has hired a private investigator to locate his runaway wife and he's getting closer and closer to finding her. As Rainie's danger grows, so too does the attraction and affection between herself and Parker.
A touching romance, as well as a novel that addresses the serious issues of domestic abuse and the long, fraught process of healing from the psychological trauma.

There is a picture of him at Versailles by the French artist Lebrun, which was painted on this occasion.
Cambaceres and Lebrun were his associate Consuls, with a salary of $60,000.
Lebrun had never been seen to lift his hand, but he was more dreaded than a rattler.
It replaces the old pulpit which was executed from drawings by Lebrun.
And abruptly out of this age of Lebrun, Watteau, Molire, reached an ice-cold hand.

The VVC Cocktail Lounge: Drinking Pink
Why, yes, my orange slice is rather large. Thanks for noticing.
Tonight, the VVC Cocktail Lounge brings you some pretty little things, both of which match my cheeks when I've had a few too many. The first is a watermelon martini. It's light and simple, and goes great with giant fruit! For two "healthy" servings, you'll need:
4 oz watermelon juice
2 oz vodka
1 oz simple syrup
2 T lime juice (that's fresh juice—go easy if you're using that bottled stuff)
And on the rim? A mixture of sugar and salt. Because I want it all!
For the watermelon juice, no need for a juicer. You can squeeze the watermelon through cheesecloth or a sieve…or throw some chunks into the blender with your vodka (using the handy measurement markings on the side of the blender and the magic of displacement to gauge what you're dealing with). There's barely any pulp, and what do you have against pulp, anyway?
Our second treat for you: these awesome elephant swizzle sticks. Sometimes you need to do some swizzling and you don't feel like using a straw or a chopstick. I shopped for a crazy long time for a swizzle stick as sophisticated as I am, and I finally found these at Archie McPhee in Seattle. They're not on their website, but they are on Cats Like Us!
6 thoughts on "The VVC Cocktail Lounge: Drinking Pink"
I love elephants and my dad and I used to collect swizzle sticks! Awesome.
Yes! This looks fabulous!
[…] Recommended beverage accompanients: Red wine, cold beer or or cocktails, such as dirty martinis, Bloody Marys (side-note: I had such a zesty, vegan-marked BM at Bar Carlo in SE over the weekend – their Vegan Potato & Black Bean Skillet + a BM is highly recommended!), or something fruity. […]

Do we need more incentives for fighters to make weight?
It seems many decide it would be better to just give up part of their purse than have to actually make the weight?
Do we need more incentives for fighters to make weight?
It seems many decide it would be better to just give up part of their purse than have to actually make the weight?
Or the fighter who makes weight is awarded "One free nut shot" perhaps.
"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." - Hunter S. Thompson
Just make it 20% of the purse for every 1lb over. More than 4.99lb and the fight is off. Risky for promoters to an extent but riskier for the fighter as soon enough promoters won't touch them if this was the case.
That or per lb over, the fatty fighter has to be bummed for 1 minute per lb by Purple Aki or something.. in the cage, prior to the fight.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
weight needs to be monitered like in boxing something like 4 weeks out fighters get weighed 2 weeks then week before fight then day before then day of fight monitor how much weight is allowed to be dropped and then put back on this would help a lot especially with fighters health risks ,, would probably need a few independant weigh in stations at gyme etc around the uk for this to work ,,,
Mark Platts Fly/bantamweight 10/7/0
Just hit them where it hurts = money also you could give them a deduction in points before the fight even starts.
Hmm I still owe you a nut shot don't I!!
Also, the danger being some fighters may deliberately fail to make weight....
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
anyone who has a job should get paid more than their contracted salary for turning up on time, wearing the correct attire. Roughly £1,000 per timely arrival seems reasonable.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
I think you've got to strike a balance between incentivising guys to make weight and looking after fighter safety. A fighter has missed weight - that's (99% of the time) his/her fault. What you don't want is situations whereby guys are pushing themselves beyond safe limits because the penalties for missing weight are so severe.
So how do you deal with it? Cage Warriors policy of 25%-40% purse deductions given to the opponent works - only a handful of fighters have had the 40% penalty as far as I know.
But how do you deal with missing weight beyond that? If a fighter misses weight, it's always down to the opponent to take the fight. I can't ever remember a fighter turning down an overweight opponent. I guess the pressure is on the guy who made weight to take the fight for the sake of the promoter/fans/not wasting his camp. That's not entirely fair, so I like the idea of a pre-fight point reduction for a big miss. I'd want to see that put in the Unified Rules before promotions start using it willy nilly.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The number of permits pulled to make porn films in
An adult film industry trade group says the decline, from an estimated 480 permits issued last year, to just 24 so far this year, has cost the county hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
Diane Duke of the Free Speech Coalition says adult filmmakers have taken many shoots to neighboring counties and in some cases out of state.
She estimates the industry would have paid about $456,000 for the permits it didn't buy.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which championed the condom measure, says it is needed to protect both adult film actors and the public.

Yair Lapid to call all the shots in new party, charter shows (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Ophir Bar-Zohar 05/04/12)

HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
Political newcomer Yair Lapid will make all important decisions in his new party, according to the charter he submitted to the Registrar of Political Parties yesterday.
The charter, whose contents were reported last night on Channel 2 news, states that the chairman of the new party, Yesh Atid, will decide who will be on the party´s Knesset list and in what place.
The charter, which had to be submitted to the registrar as part of the process of creating a new party, also allows a quarter of the list to be made up of people who are not members of the party.
Lapid´s plan was roundly criticized by other politicians for perpetuating inequality and for a lack of constitutionality.
The charter ensures that Lapid will remain party chairman for the next Knesset and the one after that, and that he cannot be removed from office during that time.
After the elections, the party chairman will also decide whether or not to join the coalition or conduct negotiations to that end. He will also appoint the ministers and deputy ministers allocated to Yesh Atid if it joins the coalition.
The charter allows the chairman to appoint all of its officers.
Lapid will be chairman of the party´s leadership body as well as party chairman and in any case of a dispute his opinion will prevail.
Yesh Atid´s election committee will manage the election process for the members of its central committee, and its decisions will be made unanimously. If the election committee cannot come to a unanimous decision, the party chairman´s opinion will prevail.
New members will only be accepted if they have not been members of another party for the preceding six months, although Lapid can override this clause.
No one who has committed a crime involving moral turpitude or who has been in prison will be allowed to join the party.
Among the 100 founding members of Yesh Atid are Lapid´s mother, Shulamit, his wife Lihi and his son Yoav. Also on the list is strategic adviser Uri Shani; Elinor Milchan, the daughter of one of the owners of Channel 10, Arnon Milchan; musician Tamir Harpaz; businessman Kobi Moisa; poet Ronny Someck; judoka Yoel Rezvozov; and Dr. Ruth Calderon, Talmud scholar and founder of a program for pluralistic Jewish learning. Lapid´s personal trainer and his makeup artist are also founding members of the party.
Uri Shani is expected to be chosen Lapid´s political adviser and, as such, a key figure in his election campaign. Yoram Baumann of the ad agency Baumann Ber Rivnay confirmed yesterday that he would be Lapid´s campaign manager.
Earlier this week, Lapid presented the plank in his platform regarding service in the army to his first rally of supporters, at Tel Aviv University.
The main point in the program - designed according to the doctrine of the former head of the Israel Defense Forces personnel directorate, Maj. Gen. Elazar Stern and journalist Ofer Shelah - is that ultra- Orthodox men will receive a five-year exemption during which they can work and do not necessarily have to be enrolled in a yeshiva.

If a clay or slip recipe that contains talc used to work well prior to the change over from New York mined talc to Texas mined talc, but now cracks as it dries when used over the same clay body, is there a simple solution (like adding some bentonite, cmc gum or some other binder) to make it work again? Would the change in type of talk affect the shrinkage so appreciably that a larger change to the base recipe would need to be made? I'm asking as a proxy. I don't have the recipe or I'd share. So, if answers can generally speak to the types of changes that have been made to solve or address the differences in behavior between these two talcs, that would be helpful.

Mines freshmen prepare to climb the mountain
GOLDEN, Colo., Aug. 15, 2008 — Colorado School of Mines freshmen will once again kick off the school year with the traditional whitewash of the mountainside monument on Mt. Zion in Golden Aug. 18.
Classes begin Tuesday, Aug. 19 and Mines anticipates approximately 916 new and transfer students for fall 2008.
Each year, incoming freshmen carry a 10-pound boulder up Mt. Zion (just north of Lookout Mountain) and place it on the M before applying a fresh coat of whitewash. Students will leave the Mines intramural fields at around 7:45 a.m., and the whitewashing usually occurs between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Members of Mines' chapter of Blue Key International Honor Society, a national leadership and service group that maintains the M, plan to swap out the monument's 1,653 incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) within the next few weeks. The energy-efficient new LEDs – which students purchased through donations, fundraisers and student fees – will make the M more visible to those outside Golden.
Some facts about the M:
- The monument was constructed in 1908 and is the largest electronically lit school emblem in the world measuring 104 feet by 107 feet and boasting more than 500 15-watt light bulbs.
- The computer-automated and remote-controlled system for the M incorporates 37 different animations allowing students to get creative with colors and shapes for holidays and school events.
- Never unlit for more than 24 hours, the M is maintained by Blue Key members who have long battled the elements to keep the record.
To reach the M, take 6th Avenue west from Denver to 19th Street in Golden. Turn left at the light and follow the road up Lookout Mountain. Although the road will be closed to the public, media representatives will be permitted to drive to the M.

Chilli Pepper 'Inferno', a 'Hungarian Hot Wax' hybrid, produces early bumper crops over a long season on compact plants. The chillies are large, smooth skinned, and pale lime green in colour, turning red as they ripen. This moderately hot variety is ideal for roasting and frying. Height: 50cm (20"). Spread: 40cm (16").
Useful links:
Sow Chilli Pepper seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator at a temperature of 18-25C (64-77F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3") pots of compost and grow on in cooler conditions. When plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, transplant them into grow bags and containers, or plant them in well prepared beds of fertile, moist, well drained soil. Chili peppers may be grown undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel, or grown outdoors in a sheltered position in full sun. When growing chilli peppers outdoors, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days prior to transplanting them. Space pepper plants at a distance of 50cm (20") apart.
Seeds and garden supplies will normally be delivered within the time period stated against each product as detailed above. Plants, bulbs, corms, tubers, shrubs, trees, potatoes etc are delivered at the appropriate time for planting and will be stated on the product page or in your order acknowledgement page and email.
Orders for packets of seed incur a P&P charge of £1.95.

Violent crime in the city of Los Angeles fell for the 10th year in a row to its lowest level in decades, even as property crime reversed its downward trend and posted a slight uptick, the mayor and police chief announced Monday.
"Our data shows that, in 2012, Los Angeles had the fewest violent crimes per capita than any big city in the United States of America," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said during a news conference at Los Angeles Police Department headquarters.
"Last year, there was a citywide reduction in robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and auto theft, and - for the third year in a row - we saw fewer than 300 homicides," he added.
Police Chief Charlie Beck said the 18,293 violent crimes recorded in 2012 represented an 8.2 percent slide from the year before. Statistics showed significant decreases in robbery and aggravated assault offset increases in rape and homicide.
"This is the lowest violent crime level in the city of Los Angeles since William Parker was chief (of the LAPD in the '50s and '60s)," Beck said.
He added a 10.5 percent drop in gang-related crimes overall helped drive the numbers down, noting the 152 gang-related homicides last year were the fewest in decades.
The city, however, saw property crimes increase for the first time in years, though by only 0.2 percent for a total of 85,866 thefts, burglaries and carjackings.
Beck blamed the uptick on a 30 percent increase in cellphone thefts, in particular, and he urged the public to take precautions to prevent their various electronic gadgets from being stolen.
"Lock it, hide it and you'll keep it," he advised. "Put the responsibility on yourself for keeping your property safe. If you do that, then I can continue to reduce crime in the city of Los Angeles."
Beck also attributed some of the increase in property crime to realignment, which took effect in October 2011. That law, backed by Gov. Jerry Brown, included a provision that placed certain ex-cons on probation instead of parole.
"When realignment was originally announced, I predicted property crime would increase in Los Angeles by a couple of percentage points because of it, and I believe that has occurred," he said, calling for the law to be "tweaked" so that police can monitor ex-cons more closely.
Taken together, the overall drop in violent crimes and property crimes in 2012 was 1.4 percent, the smallest percentage decline in the last five years.
In 2008, during the recession, overall crimes receded 7.6 percent. In 2011, the drop was 4.6 percent.
Beck, however, bristled at the observation that last year's 1.4 percent drop in the overall crime rate seemed under par.
"You're minimizing something that is a remarkable achievement," he said.
"Why don't you ask the other cities that had an increase? Why don't you ask New York, Chicago, the county of Los Angeles, if they would like to have 1.4 percent."
Villaraigosa, whose term ends in June, said he hopes the incoming mayor - whoever it may be - will make the continued hiring of police officers a priority.
He said the LAPD recently hit a milestone when its ranks swelled to 10,000, but added Los Angeles remains "the most underpoliced big city" in the country. He refused to back a proposed ballot measure to boost the sales tax if the LAPD is not allowed to continue growing.
"There is no way I would support a sales tax if we don't continue police hiring," Villaraigosa said.
"These numbers (the declining crime rates) don't lie," he added. "These numbers are a reflection of growing our police department, of our commitment to community policing."
Beck vowed the LAPD would continue to lower crime rates by remaining data-driven in its crime suppression strategies, and by working closely with the Mayor's Gang Reduction and Youth Development Office.
He also vowed to expand "predictive policing, which uses logarithms to predict where crime will occur and to control the response of officers," as well as more officers long-term to the toughest parts of the city so they can form deep partnerships with the communities there.
He also intends to continue Operation Ceasefire, which calls for talking to gang members so they know the consequences of continued violent crimes, and Operation Laser, which closely tracks people who have committed violent crimes in the past and are likely to do so again.

Richard Zednik would not only regain the lead for Florida, but also extend their lead to 3-1 on back to back goals from the Panthers forward. Then Olli Jokinen really blew the game open scoring the third Florida goal in five minutes sending the Panthers to intermission with a 4-1 lead.'

Pierre: Colleagues and Friends Talk about the Trudeau They Knew
It has been more than three decades since the heady days of Trudeaumania, and yet Pierre Elliott Trudeau is still a subject of intense public fascination. When Trudeau died in 2000, the outpouring of emotion was extraordinary. Thousands of people across Canada – and all over the world – mourned the loss of one of our greatest prime ministers, a man who touched the hearts and challenged the minds of a nation.
As Trudeau's close friend, Nancy Southam has gathered more than one hundred and fifty reminiscences and anecdotal narratives about him from all over the globe. Included in this astonishing collection are stories from people who worked for Trudeau in the PMO, long-time friends, journalists, former world leaders, politicians who battled and debated him, his sons' friends, RCMP bodyguards, girlfriends, canoeing buddies, the household staff at the prime ministerial residences, and those who glimpsed his religious life. With the blessing of his sons, Justin and Sacha, Southam has put together a remarkably transparent account of an intensely private man that is funny, affectionate, moving, startling, and emotional.
Among the contributors are Monique Bégin, Conrad Black, Jimmy Carter, Jean Chrétien, Joe Clark, Leonard Cohen, Jim Coutts, Joyce Fairbairn, John Kenneth Galbraith, Ivan Head, Jacques Hébert, Margot Kidder, Toni Onley, Christopher Plummer, Karen Kain, Marc Lalonde, Harrison McCain, Gordon Pinsent, Roy Romanow, Ed Schreyer, and Barbra Streisand. These pieces are accompanied by over a hundred photographs and illustrations – some published here for the first time.
Honest, illuminating, and heartfelt, this collection adds greatly to the historical record of Trudeau, and sheds fresh light on the private man.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Journalist and author Nancy Southam has worked for a variety of Canadian newspapers and magazines. She has previously edited a book entitled Remembering Richard: An Informal Portrait of Richard Hatfield. Southam was a neighbour, travelling companion, and close friend of Pierre Elliott Trudeau's in Montreal.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
From Chapter One: Faith
MP, 1953– 57 and 1962– 80; and Senator, 1984– 96
The only written reference made by Mr. Trudeau about his religious views that I have been able to find was a short interview he gave to the United Church Observer. In it he was pressed to speak about whether he was "a devout Catholic." After initial parrying and dialectical probing, he gave more than the interviewer asked, by declaring, "I am a believer." Then he virtually recited, for the benefit of the United Church, the substance of the Apostle's Creed.
Another reference to religion in his public utterances was not as devotional. It was a reference that – at one particular moment – I wished he had omitted. In the 1972 general election campaign, I was visiting door-to-door in the district of Little Narrows, my Cape Breton constituency. I was accompanied by the warden of Victoria County, the late Kenneth Matheson, who was also the councillor for the Little Narrows municipal district. Both the warden and the district were staunchly Presbyterian. They took religious matters seriously. Religion was not a subject for flippant treatment.
Together, we entered the home of a church member as she was about to leave for a church meeting. She was dressed for the occasion and carried a formidable black handbag. The innate sense of hospitality characteristic of Highland stock imposed in her mind a greater duty than punctual attendance at the scheduled church meeting. She invited us to sit down.
"We have always been Liberals," she said. "Not that we think we are better than the others. It just suits us to be Liberal."
That was a good beginning, except for the "better" reference, which – in the stress of an election campaign – I thought could well be omitted. Then our hostess got down to business.
"Now," she said, as she opened her purse and handed me a newspaper clipping, "your prime minister is causing me difficulties."
I read the newspaper account with increasing dismay. Now, some background is required. In the 1968 election campaign, Mr. Trudeau had highlighted the Just Society. The electorate could be forgiven for concluding that the Just Society would be ushered in forthwith, following Mr. Trudeau's election victory. This expectation had obviously been on the mind of an elector in southern Ontario, during this 1972 campaign, when heckling Mr. Trudeau.
"Mr. Trudeau," he had asked, "where is the Just Society you promised?"
Here is what Mr. Trudeau was quoted in the clipping as saying: "Ask Jesus Christ. He promised it first."
Finally, my hostess interrupted my longer-than-required gaze at the newspaper clipping that detailed this exchange.
"I regard that as blasphemy, Mr. MacEachen," she said. I had to say something other than my immediate thoughts, which were clearly in her corner, and if expressed would likely have revealed my dismay at the irreverence of the pm's comments. In addition, my concern went beyond the irreverence of the remark. The timing was awful. The electoral consequences of such flippancy might be felt in my constituency, and far and wide in Canada.
I did try, however, to reduce the anxiety by questioning the accuracy of the report. One could not always rely on such reports, I offered. It was surprising to me that such a remark would be made by the prime minister, I suggested. No doubt my effort was feeble and unconvincing. Knowing my leader as I did, deep down I feared the rapid-fire retort could indeed have happened as reported.
Years later, after we had left office, I recounted the incident in Mr. Trudeau's presence, at the launch of a book on the Trudeau legacy. He did not challenge my account. Instead Mr. Trudeau sat quietly, with a suppressed smile on his face, possibly taking some pleasure in the audacity of his remarks.
Postscript: we lost our majority in that election.
Head of the Saudi Arabian Information Office in Washington, D.C., 1970—80
I knew former prime minister Pierre Trudeau since 1976. While he was prime minister, I visited Ottawa many times, and he always received my friends and me very graciously. Mr. Trudeau was my guest many times in Washington, while I was head of the Saudi information office there, and we also enjoyed a number of skiing trips together in Colorado.
Pierre Trudeau's unique character, his profound understanding of others, and his deep humanity are to me best described by an occasion that has left a lasting impression on me. While he was prime minister, he visited me one summer in Marbella, at my residence in Porto Banus. He recounted to me his time as a student at the Sorbonne and a motorcycle trip he took, in 1947, around Europe and North Africa. On that trip, he had come across the village of Rhonda in the mountains of Marbella where – during the Arab occupation of Spain – a magnificent mosque had been erected, which was later converted into a church.
He asked me if I would like to visit this village with him. I agreed, and we requested special permission to visit the church with the priest that afternoon. The site and the converted mosque were as beautiful as Mr. Trudeau had promised. Upon seeing Quranic inscriptions on the walls, I innocently asked both the prime minister and the priest whether it was possible for me to pray as a Muslim in the church.
Mr. Trudeau immediately acquiesced to the idea. He then asked if I could lead a prayer as an imam, while he and the priest bowed in Muslim tradition. Mr. Trudeau consulted with the priest and, in this magnificent moment, the prime minister in his way contributed to uniting the two great religions of Christianity and Islam in peace and understanding. His desire to understand other people's faith traditions – to live by consensus rather than by confrontation – was his greatest strength.
Writer, teacher, author
1989: we lunched at a Chinese restaurant, not far from Trudeau's new office on RenéLévesque Boulevard.
My intentions for that meeting: to ask him to attend the Trudeau Era conference I was directing at York University in Toronto. He refused (politely), but he did ask about who was scheduled to speak, and on what subjects. I singled out a talk to be given by Michael Higgins, Vice-President and Academic Dean at St. Jerome's, at the University of Waterloo, on the influence of faith on Trudeau's thinking.
"He will be talking about the importance of religion, of your Catholic background, on your thought and approaches to political ideas," I said.
Trudeau leaned back, looked off, and said, vehemently:
"At last."

You gotta make your stickers bigger. They're waaayyy too small.
Some of em were like 1" square.
People aren't going to see them on the street and they're going to be practically invisible in combos.
Plus they'll get unrecognizably destroyed with a single tear.
make'em 3x4 or 4x5. I think 2x3 is the absolute smallest.

Topic: 5FU oxiplatin avastin
My husband is starting a systemic approach to liver masses caused by CC. He is being treated with these 3 drugs with a possible review for surgery ( too compromising now) and embollization later as well. Has anyone gone through anything similar, and can anyone recount their chemo experiences on these drugs though I know they are different for all?
Thanks for any and all postings.

This is the pillow that optimizes CPAP mask efficiency while increasing the comfort of its wearer. Unlike typical pillows that interfere with mask performance by breaking a cushion's seal, this pillow's hose-friendly, twin cutaways prevent a mask from leaking while its cool breathable mesh, perforated memory foam maximizes comfort and limits perspiration, ideal for use with humidified air. The cutaways combine with an integrated fabric tether to keep hoses from crimping or snagging, enabling left- or right-side sleeping without re-adjustment. The pillow's thickness varies using a removable 3/4"-thick foam insert while its ergonomic shape conforms to the natural curvature of the neck and shoulders for comfortable side or back sleeping. Works with all mask types. Includes an extra washable pillowcase. 20" W x 4 1/2" H x 13" D. (3 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The CPAP Pillow comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Works Mostly
By Reformed Seismic Serenader
from Bremerton, WA
I am mostly happy with this pillow. I am still new to the ablutions of CPAP, but one of the hitches is sleeping on your side. The indentations in the side are almost perfect.My only issue is that it is twice the thickness I would prefer. So far I haven't had any kinks in my neck, but I suspect they may happen. A thinner design would be awesome. I am happy I have it. I use it now because it does increase the effectiveness of my CPAP therapy. If they come out with a thinner version, I will get one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Surprisingly comfortable to use. Haven't missed my old pillow yet. Really helps keep face mask aligned to avoid noisy and uncomfortable air leaks. Looks small, but it turns out to be the right size.

great idea but...
By wife of a snorer

sent it back--too "thin" by itself, too high if another pillow was underneath. ALso, the cut-out didn't seem big enough/deep enough as the mask still was knocked awry. Almost.....not quite.

GSA Receives Final Congressional Approval to Establish the Federal Acquisition Service
April 7, 2006
Contact: Neil Franz, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today that its plan to create the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) has received final approval from Congress. FAS will be formed by the merger of GSA's Federal Supply Service (FSS) and the Federal Technology Service (FTS).
The plan was approved today by the Senate Appropriations subcommittee with oversight for the agency; House Appropriations leaders gave their approval on April 6. GSA delivered the plan to Congress on February 27, following a request for review by the House and Senate Appropriations committees.
"This is a great day for GSA and for the new FAS," said Acting GSA Administrator David L. Bibb. "We are now positioned to begin FAS implementation and adapt to a marketplace that has grown far more complex and demanding over the decades. With this evolution, we will increase GSA's value to our federal agency customers and the American taxpayer."
"I am pleased to report that the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, the Judiciary, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies has given its full approval and support to the GSA plan for reorganization," said Senator Kit Bond (R-MO), chairman of the subcommittee. "My colleagues in the Senate and I are optimistic that the proposed reforms will bring about the new FAS, and I look forward to continuing to support GSA as the agency moves forward."
This new FAS will include five major customer centers, among these:
- Customer Accounts and Research (CAR). CAR will permit FAS to better understand customer requirements and become a strategic partner in helping agencies meet their requirements.
- Acquisition Management. The FAS emphasis on acquisition management will ensure that its activities are fully compliant with laws, regulations and policies, and that operating practices are consistent across business lines.
- Integrated Technology Services. This portfolio combines the business lines from information technology, some professional services, and telecommunications.
- General Supplies and Services. This portfolio acquires a broad range of commercial products as well as some professional services, as well as GSA specialized logistics-based activities.
- Travel, Motor, Vehicle, and Card Services. This portfolio operates with respective supplier industries but shares commonalities for customers that provide opportunities for synergy and scale.
In turn, each portfolio will be comprised of various divisions in order to serve customer needs and establish GSA as the federal community's agency of choice when it comes to acquiring goods, services and other workplace needs.
"We believe the new FAS will help GSA improve its support for federal agencies as they strive to meet the needs of the American people," said Acting FAS Commissioner G. Martin Wagner. "Congressional support for the new FAS was key to helping GSA institute a more effective and efficient agency that will offer timely solutions at excellent prices, thereby allowing agencies to concentrate on their core missions."
The new FAS competencies in acquisition excellence, program expertise and policy compliance will provide value to the taxpayer by:
- Lowering the cost of government by efficiently leveraging the government's buying power to obtain the best value in products and services from suppliers at the lowest possible transaction cost.
- Increasing value to commercial suppliers of all types and sizes, by creating consistent and innovative processes to offer their products and services to government agencies more efficiently.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing governmentwide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

by John Steinbeck

Laborers in California's dusty vegetable fields, they hustle work when they can, living a hand-to-mouth existence. For George and Lennie have a plan: to own an acre of land and a shack they can call their own. When they land jobs on a ranch in the Salinas Valley, the fulfillment of their dream seems to be within their grasp. But even George cannot guard Lennie from the provocations of a flirtatious woman, nor predict the consequences of Lennie's unswerving obedience to the things George taught him.
After Camelot: A Personal History of the Kennedy Family - 1968 to the Present
by J. Randy Taraborrelli
For more than half a century, Americans have been captivated by the Kennedys - their joy and heartbreak, tragedy and triumph, the dark side and the remarkable achievements. In this ambitious and sweeping account, Taraborelli continues the family chronicle begun with his bestselling Jackie, Ethel, Joan and provides a behind-the-scenes look at the years "after Camelot." He describes the challenges Bobby's children faced as they grew into adulthood; Eunice and Sargent Shriver's remarkable philanthropic work; the emotional turmoil Jackie faced after JFK's murder and the complexities of her eventual marriage to Aristotle Onassis; the the sudden death of JFK JR; and the stoicism and grace of his sister Caroline. He also brings into clear focus the complex and intriguing story of Edward "Teddy" and shows how he influenced the sensibilities of the next generation and challenged them to uphold the Kennedy name. Based on extensive research, including hundreds of exclusive interviews, After Camelot captures the wealth, glamour, and fortitude for which the Kennedys are so well known. With this book, J. Randy Taraborrelli takes readers on an epic journey as he unfolds the ongoing saga of the nation's most famous-and controversial-family.

The young American writer graphically describes his first-hand experiences of the poverty and drudgery of the lives of the inhabitants. Disguised in an outfit of dirty old clothes, his frank and eye-opening account describe his visits to the area's slums, workhouses, doss-houses, park benches, pubs and coffee-shops. Above all, London brings us the voices of the hundreds of thousands of people for whom the harsh conditions of the East End were the backdrop to their daily struggle for survival.

Dialing in Crampon Technique
—Wes Walker | Carbondale, CO
It's all too easy to over-rely on your axes in mixed climbing, but as in ice climbing, if you can place your feet securely you will save your strength. It's vital to remember that your feet will misbehave just like your axes if you don't give them the same level of attention. Most rock climbers who try mixed climbing are shocked by the lack of feel and sensitivity in foot placements, and the fact that you can't smear. But with practice you can develop a sixth sense for what works, and you can edge on almost anything, provided you maintain stable posture. Study every foothold before you place your points and position them with care and accuracy. Hook your front points over in-cut edges. On larger holds you can slide your foot forward so that the secondary points engage just below the edge. On easy-angled terrain you can drop your heel slightly so the secondary points engage to create a stable tripod. Mono-points give more options for thin cracks and narrow pockets, and also allow pivoting on edges. The big mistakes on marginal footholds are raising your heels too high (so the front-point pops) or simply forgetting to maintain stability while you're concentrating on something else. Front pointing on rock is all about maintaining angles. When you shift your foot 10 mm in a rock shoe, you'll often be OK. In mixed, however, contact between rock and metal is tiny, with little friction, and any change in angle can cause your feet to skate. Keep your foot relaxed, especially in tight-fitting fruit boots, and let the shoe do the work. Be creative with footwork and employ some of your rock climbing tricks like side-stepping, outside edging, flagging and back-stepping. Keep your front points filed razor sharp and have faith.Unfortunately, mixed footwork isn't just about skill. Bucket loads of core strength will be required, especially when things start getting steep, to prevent your feet from swinging off, and if they do cut, to lift them back up. Train for this with endurance sets of leg raises. Hook your axes over a bar and wear big boots for maximum specificity. Beginners should start with three or four sets of 10 or 15 and high-level climbers may do up to eight sets of 20 or 30

Henry's Tacos didn't get local landmark status but the Studio City stand did get a reprieve from a New Year's Eve closing date and maybe new owners.
Longtime pals and Henry's patrons Matt Pyken and Steve Rose have agreed to buy the business from Janis Hood and are waiting to see if their lease offer is accepted by landowner Mehran Ebrahimpour of Beverly Hills.
"We feel like we've gotten really close. We're the only ones that have gotten in between the current owner and the landlord and hopefully it will be enough to pull out a Christmas miracle," said Pyken, a Studio City resident and writer in the entertainment industry.
Hood hinted that something may be in the wind when she posted on Facebook Saturday that Henry's - which is more than a half century old - would stay open until Jan. 15 and not close on Dec. 31 as planned.
The purchase offer is not being disclosed, she said.
"ATTENTION HENRY'S FANS AND SUPPORTERS! Because of your tremendous support and outcry (and probably me with my big mouth in the media!), the property owner has asked me to stay open until January 15 so that (hopefully!) a lease can be worked out with my buyers! I have agreed, so Henry's will live to see the New Year! Please spread the word and THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOYALTY AND PATIENCE! We're doing our best to serve you!!!," she wrote Saturday.
Hood, who wants to sell the business and retire, applied last year to the city's Cultural Heritage Commission for the stand to be considered an architectural landmark.
Ebrahimpour objected to that plan. He did not return calls Monday.
Last February the City Council's Planning and Land Use Management Committee let the nomination lapse.
Hood's lease expired at the end of last year and Ebrahimpour didn't renew it. He then increased the month-to-month rent by 150 percent.
And he has rejected three other buyers, Hood said.
"I've been trying to find someone who loves and has a history with Henry's and would keep it the same," she said.
Pyken and Rose sound like perfect owners to Hood. They attended Walter Reed Middle School together in North Hollywood and were regulars at the stand.
Pyken and Rose, a financial consultant, learned last summer that Hood had lost her lease and began forming their plan.
They will be benevolent owners, too.
"We don't want to change a thing. The whole point of getting this place is to leave it exactly as it is. The place stays the same," Pyken said.
After word of the possible closure surfaced last month, Hood has been overwhelmed with support. Two weekends ago long lines formed at the stand and celebrities such as such as George Lopez, Adam Carolla and Elijah Wood voiced their backing, according to the website LAObserved.
Local television stations also picked up the story.
Hood said Henry's is a thriving business but she is 57 now and is just worn out by a life making tacos.
If a sale doesn't pan out it will be a sad day for her and her four employees.
"It's kind of a bit much for one woman. My life will go on but I feel bad for them. One employee has been here half his life. He's 42 and started here when he was 21," she said. "He's like family."
