It's never too early to think about your next Yes show and in this case you have 11 months to ponder a moment's answer to the dream, as the prog band announces United Kingdom shows scheduled for November 2011.
Who's in Yes these days? Original bassist Chris Squire is still in the group as is guitarist Steve Howe and drummer Alan White. There's also a Wakeman on keyboards but his name isn't Rick. Instead, it's son Oliver who has been playing with the pioneer prog-rock band during the last couple of years.
Also in the band is Benoit David, the Canadian singer tapped in 2008 to fill in for a then-ailing Jon Anderson. David will appear, along with Wakeman, on the first new Yes album in 10 years, scheduled to be released on Italian-based Frontiers Records in summer 2011.
The 2011 U.K. tour begins in Cambridge at the Corn Exchange Nov. 8, plays Sheffield City Hall Nov. 9 and stops at Birmingham's Symphony Hall Nov. 11. Also on the schedule is the Brighton Dome Nov. 15, and Bristol's Colston Hall Nov. 16 before ending the journey in London at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo Nov. 17.

This is sad and pathetic. Jon Anderson just finished up a tour of the UK and also the USA. Why YES continuies to tour and now write an album with such a poor immitation of Jon and really, not such a good singer anyways. So sad that the band continuies to ignore Jon. Check out Jon's performance with the Cleveland Youth Orchestra recently...very powerful voice, with all the magic of Jon. All that could have improved it was Chris, Steve & Alan playing alongside him. Agree with Estreet above, Benoit is nothing but a karaoke singer and a bad one at that. I can never see YES in their current form...they are at best a cover band as they are now, and a bad one at that.
07:10 PM, Dec 06, 2010
It is not and never will be YES without Jon Anderson. It's now just a cover band with a karaoke singer leading the way. It's amazing what so called musicians will do to get an extra buck in their pockets. Buggles anyone???

Sunny Leone, Parineeti Chopra and more celebs to entertain at New Year`s eve
Mumbai: It`s the time for year-end celebrations. While big names from Bollywood have decided to take a break, celebrities like Sunny Leone, Sameera Reddy and Parineeti Chopra are set to perform at New Year Eve galas.
Sunny Leone told IANS: "I am very excited to perform and this will be my first live performance in front of the people. I have never done this before and this will be in a very grand scale."
If reports are to be believed, porn star-turned-actress Sunny Leone has been offered a whopping Rs.1 crore for her New Year performance in the capital.
Parineeti Chopra, Arjun Kapoor, Anjana Sukhani and Mika Singh too will perform at the Aamby Valley City for a select audience.
This year the theme is retro and Parineeti told IANS: "I am totally for it. New Year is a time for holiday and very few people decide to work. Also, you get to earn more money than usual. Also, I am going this time, I can take my family and friends with me and enjoy."
Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor were reportedly offered whopping Rs.2 crore each for live shows, but they turned it down as they are keen to spend time with their respective families.
Even Bipasha Basu is giving it a miss this year. Her manager said: "She is not performing this year as of now but if there is any change, we will keep you posted."
On the other hand, Prachi Desai is likely to perform at The Country Club here, while Yana Gupta will turn the heat on in Muscat. As per reports, Yana has been offered around Rs.20 lakh for her performance.
There is a buzz that Priyanka Chopra and Salman Khan may join a multi-starrer live show in Dubai in December, but the news is not yet confirmed.

make it possible for us to change the "closing date" for customers.
We sometimes forget to "close" them the day they close, and it would help greatly if we could go back and edit their closing date (date they became a customer.)
3 comments
Anonymous commented
I think the issue is with became a customer date. The request should be edited as the close date field is editable.
Jason commented
I have this issue too. I am trying to edit the "became a customer date" which has auto filled in to the date I imported the list out of Magento.
Hi there,
There is a field called "Close Date" on the Contact record that you can change. Is this what you're referring to?

Finland Sees Lower Borrowing in Bid to Halt to Debt Growth
Kati PohjanpaloFinland plans to borrow less next year amid narrowing deficits as the government struggles to meet a target of ending debt growth by 2015, according to a budget proposal by the Finance Ministry.
Net borrowing will fall to 6.6 billion euros ($8.8 billion) from 7.8 billion this year, the Helsinki-based ministry said on its website. Government spending will be 53.9 billion euros next year and debt will rise to 98 billion euros, the ministry said. Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen's cabinet will discuss the proposal on Aug. 28-29 before sending it to parliament.
Finland is in a recession for the second time in four years amid weak export demand and rising unemployment. Lemminkaeinen Oyj, a road builder, said today it will reduce 500 positions and mine-equipment maker Metso Oyj said Aug. 5 it will seek to cut 750 jobs as companies in the northernmost euro member struggle with a broader recession in the 17-nation bloc.
The government has targeted an end to a debt build-up by 2015 as it seeks to safeguard the euro area's only stable AAA credit rating. The framework budget agreed on in March for four years starting in 2014 includes tax increases and spending cuts worth about 600 million euros. Austerity was then tempered with a reduction in the corporate tax rate to 20 percent from 24.5 percent, which comes into force next year and costs about 870 million euros, according to the ministry.
Tax Gains
Tax receipts will grow about 1 1/2 percent next year, including about 300 million euros more from dividends as taxation is revamped, and an additional 200 million euros from taxes on alcohol, tobacco, sweets and electricity. A windfall tax on power producers that don't generate carbon emissions will bring in 50 million euros, according to the proposal.
The budget deficit will reach 2.5 percent of gross domestic product this year before narrowing to 2.1 percent next year, the Finance Ministry said June 19. Debt will peak at 59.9 percent of GDP in 2015 it said. The Bank of Finland said June 11 debt would reach 61.8 percent in 2015, breaching the 60 percent European Union threshold. The ministry will publish new forecasts on Sept. 16.
Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen said yesterday the government will discuss measures to make people work longer and changes to municipally funded social services and make a decision by the end of the year. Urpilainen has ruled out raising the pension age before the next election scheduled for April 2015.

Whats not to like about the poles...they are classy. What do you actually think people go to watch the games?
#FreeYags #FreeGato #FreeCubsstuckinstl #FreeCubbieSteve.
"I hear STUPID People...When? Alllll theee timmme" Isn't a Jeffy a cigarette?
wonder i the roof top owners can make the buildings bigger?
did I say that?? NO, don't put words in my mouth... Why do I hate Wrigley so much? Only because players hate playing at Wrigley. I am sorry but if players are voicing their opinion and say I will never play there because of this or that then its got to change. And if you can't give your fans an unobstructed view of the game then why would the fans want to come to the game and watch your team? Its 2013 we now have modern materials and architectural structures able to give the fans an unobstructed view why would we not do this? Because the cubs MIGHT have to play somewhere else for a brief time? Give me a break....
If Yankee Stadium and be torn down and rebuilt so can Wrigley freaking field........ good grief... step back from our(yes even mine) homer opinions and look at the big picture here.
My other question so we renovate the stadium how long is it going to last? Are we goign to keep throwing money into it? Would it be cheaper in the long run to build?
Sponsored Links |
Build where, exactly? The Cubs organization is not stupid. Like Wrigley or not, but there are a lot of people going to that ballpark because of the park and neighborhood. Now, I am not one of them. I go to see the game. I am a Cubs fan, not a Wrigley fan. But the fact is, if the Cubs built a new stadium after a few years they would lose the newness of the ballpark and not draw as well as they do at Wrigley. At least, that is what I believe. And I think the Cubs FO believes that too. Yes, the neighborhood needs the Cubs, but the Cubs also need the neighborhood. To me that is why there isn't a new ballpark. IMO it has nothing to do with the FO worrying about tradition and restoration of a "great ballpark". It has everything to do with the FO knowing the park and it's location brings money to the Cubs. Believe me, if I had it my way there woudl be a brand new retractable dome ballpark built similar to Wrigley at a different location. And I would go to see the Cubs play with more comfort. But I think they lose a portion of the fan base who goes for the "experience of Wrigley" (YUK)
Theres just really no other location they could stick a new park and draw what they do in Wrigleyville. For that very simple reason, they need the neighborhood just as much as the neighborhood needs them. A very symbiotic relationship and they of course whether u like it or not, its how the FO treats it when negotiating with the neighborhood.
This is just not true at all. The neighborhood is much more screwed if they leave than the Cubs are.
They are still a major market team with an extremely loyal and fairly strong nationwide following. It's not like they will become the Rays if they aren't in Wrigleyville anymore.
And if this rebuild goes as well as it had better (considering they are sacrificing entire seasons in order to do it), they wouldn't have any trouble drawing a crowd.

David, I think you are kidding yourself here. If the Cubs played at US Cellular for example and the Sox played at Wrigley, my guess is the Sox would outdraw the Cubs. I realize true Cubs fans would go to the game. But there are a lot of non-fans at Cubs games. They are there for the "experience". And if the "experience" was changed by a different ballpark and different location, the Cubs would suffer. Like I said, I would love a new park. But I doubt that happens, ever.
Maybe so. But now they don't have to win and people come. Even on a down year they still outdrew the White Sox. And a lot of that is because of the park and the neighborhood. Yes, maybe if they constantly won the new park would be filled. Maybe! But now they know whatever they do the seats are sold at Wrigley. Even if the crowds are not there because of a bad team, they still have the tickets sold.

text: A Shield That Could Protect Earth Against Asteroid StrikesAmy Shira Teitel - Universe Today2/15/12 8:00pmFiled to: SpaceAsteroidsDisastersapocalypsesScienceSciRepublishedNeoshieldAlan harris57EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkScientists aren't entirely sure when the last major asteroid hit the Earth, but it's certain to happen again. And Alan Harris, asteroid researcher at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), is hoping to head the next one off. Last month, Harris established an international collaboration of 13 researchers to investigate methods of shielding the Earth from near Earth objects (NEOs). The project is, appropriately, called NEOShield. AdvertisementTop image: NASA/Don Davis.Asteroids approaching the planet typically travel between 5 and 30 kilometres (about 5 to 19 miles) per second. As that speed, a moderate sized body can have major consequences. The Barringer Crater in Arizona, often referred to as Meteor Crater, is a 1,200 metre crater (about 3,950 feet or 0.7 miles) that scientists hypothesize was caused by a 50 metre (164 feet) meteor.AdvertisementThe bad news is that there are thousands of known NEOs just like the one that made Meteor Crater, leading experts to posit that a dangerous collision could occur as often as every two hundred years.The good news is that it's possible to stop an asteroid hitting the Earth. You just have to be in the right place at the right time to give the object the right push in another direction. Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona. Image credit: NASA.Scientists are focusing on possible methods of redirecting threatening asteroids so they miss the Earth. "In order to modify their orbit and prevent a collision with Earth, a force must be exerted on them," explains Alan Harris. "And at the precise time, as well." One way to do this is to have a spacecraft impact a threatening asteroid, imparting enough force to change its orbit. "In my opinion, this is a very practical method," said Harris. But there are still questions to answer, like how to guide the spacecraft to a moving target at the right angle for the right impact and how to minimize the effects of fuel movement on the spacecraft's path.SponsoredAnother way is to use the spacecraft's gravitational pull to nudge the asteroid into a different orbit. If the object is far enough away, a tiny tug could have a big effect. But so far, "this method only exists on paper," said Harris, "but it could work."An asteroid, docile in space but deadly to Earth. Image credit: NASA/JPLAdvertisementAnother third, less appealing prospect, is to use explosive power to break up an Earth-bound asteroid. But this could be disastrous, creating a shower of debris instead of one solid piece. As such, Harris considers this method a last resort. "If a very large, dangerous object with a diameter of one kilometre [0.6 miles] or more is discovered," explains Harris, changing its orbit won't be a option. "The greatest force we would be able to use to divert the asteroid from its path would be a nuclear explosion. This technique is regarded as a very controversial."Over the next three years, during which the European Union will support the project with four million Euros and international partners will contribute an additional 1.8 million Euros, the NEOShield project will research these defence methods. The scientists will focus on data from asteroid observations and lab experiments to generate computer simulations, ultimately determining how best to protect the Earth from future devastating impacts.This article Amy Shira Teitel originally appeared at Universe Today.

LANCASTER, N.H. (AP) — The owner of a New Hampshire gunpowder plant where two workers were killed in a 2010 explosion was motivated by profits, failed to ensure employee safety and should be held responsible for the deaths, a prosecutor said Monday as the man's manslaughter trial opened.
The lawyer for plant owner Craig Sanborn, 64, of Maidstone, Vt., countered that the explosion could have been caused by employee error. Defense attorney Mark Sisti emphasized that Sanborn was in North Carolina the day of the explosion and had no control over the plant or conditions that led to it.
Sanborn is charged with manslaughter and reckless homicide in the explosion at his Black Mag plant in Colebrook that killed Donald Kendall, 56, of Colebrook, and Jesse Kennett, 49, of Stratford. They had been hired a month earlier.
The force of the explosion shook nearby buildings and sent plumes of black smoke into the air. Dozens of homes were evacuated and firefighters couldn't get close to the blaze for several hours because ammunition was exploding.
Prosecutor John McCormick told jurors that Sanborn was reckless in manufacturing, testing and storing the black powder and failed to adequately train and protect workers. He told them Sanborn was also trying to meet conditions of an ambitious and lucrative contract for which he'd already received a $300,000 down payment.
"The case before you is brought to you by an age-old motivating factor and force — that being greed," McCormick said.
The defense told jurors that even the experts hired by prosecutors couldn't pinpoint the cause of the explosion.
Sisti said the explosion could have been sparked by a stray piece of metal that caused friction inside a machine where the gunpowder was being processed, a worker smoking in violation of the rules or a machine that was running too fast.
"You have a man on trial who didn't have control because he was 1,000 miles away," Sisti said. "It could have been an out-and-out accident."
Mark Porter, who was the first witness to testify, said he resigned from the plant after six days over safety concerns. He said that the only instructions he received were to run if there was a fire and that he shared his concern that the plant was "very dangerous" with Sanborn.
Porter said on cross-examination that Sanborn yelled at him and he feared the confrontation would escalate, so he signed a resignation letter saying he was quitting because the gunpowder irritated his eyes.
His resignation came days before the explosion.
The jury trial in Coos County Superior Court is expected to last several weeks.

Allergy skin tests and allergen immunotherapy are common procedures for both the diagnosis and treatment of atopic diseases. Allergen immunotherapy has proved to be effective in reducing the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and asthma1-2. Despite its clinical benefit, there is risk of systemic reactions associated with these procedures.
The systemic reaction rate to skin testing for aeroallergens is significant lower than the rate of reactions to immunotherapy, but it is not negligible. Lin et al reported only 2 patients who had systemic allergic reactions to skin testing for respiratory allergies in 10,400 patients tested.3 They determined the overall risk of inducing anaphylactic reactions by skin testing to be less than 0.02% and other studies have produced similar results.4-5 The rate of systemic reactions to skin testing is likely underscored. Thompson et. al reported a systemic reaction rate of 6% of patients receiving skin testing.6 It is important to recognize the risk of systemic reactions seeing skin testing is commonly done. It is also imperative to recognize the treatments for these reactions to prevent progression.
Hypothesis The systemic reaction rate to allergen immunotherapy and skin testing to aeroallergens is higher than previously reported. Biphasic anaphylactic reactions rarely occur with allergen immunotherapy and skin testing.

Hello, all. A few years ago, my Dad sent a Garand to a place in, he is certain, South Carolina to have it worked on. The only original piece they sent him back was the receiver, but this rifle is _beautiful_ and shoots better than anybody who's ever picked it up. He wants another and desperately wants the same folks to deal with it, but can't find them. I've checked Shotgun News (where he found them a few years ago) and jouster, but can't find anybody at all in SC either, so can anybody point me in the right direction?
Failing that, I need a contingency plan I can present to a man with a fixation on "green" metal and red wood. Is Mike Smith the guy to talk to in order to make a service grade weapon into a beautiful and accurate weapon? Okay, I know, _all_ Garands are beautiful and accurate, but some are moreso than others,right? Thanks, Steve |

Steve, I passed you question and e-mail address along to Doc Lisenby who is in SC. He may very well have done the work and if not may he knows who did. George

Total stations are great for land surveying, civil engineering, construction stake-out, and even crime scene investigation, accident reconstruction, and forensic sciences. Total stations' advanced functions are controlled by an internal microprocessor, allowing you to perform a number of different survey tasks. This includes staking out points, coordinating measurements, making calculations, and storing and transferring large amounts of data.
Kinds of Total Stations
Choosing the right surveying total station for the job is important to be as productive as possible. Depending on the tasks, our total station equipment has choices ranging from accuracy, distance, screens and keypads, software, hardware, and security features. Some total stations come with laser pointers and optical or laser plummets. And all total station surveying equipment is built for the tough outdoor weather. You also have a choice of reflectorless total stations, which have a prism built-in or non-reflectorless that require a separate prism. With all the different total stations available, you can easily customize your surveying total station and features to best suit your needs.
Total Station Software
All surveying total stations can run various on-board data collection software for quick calculations of angles and distances onsite. Some are complete with full software on-board, with an abundance of features and choices for easy set up and taking shots.
Are you using a prism or do you want the convenience of working away from the total station? Total stations can be connected to data collectors with their own software, as well as transfer data to your office computer. Some total station surveying equipment even offer Bluetooth technology for faster communication and easier setup, along with even longer-range data collection. With adjustments knobs, locking mechanisms, and built-in functions, surveyors can configure the axis and leveling of the total station surveying equipment to reduce tilting errors. With a tribrach and tripod, you're all set take angle and distance measurements in seconds!

NY Mirror
My copy of Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance must have gotten lost in the mail, but I did receive Spunk'd: The Complete First Load, a gay reality video of stoopid dick tricks that seemed right up my skanky alley. The leering porn star who narrates the thing made me want to smash the screen, but by the time another nude gentleman started ramming a cell phone up his ass, I was utterly captivated, and I also adored the wild things a facially blurred ALEXIS ARQUETTE was doing to a swarthy stud's giant hoo-ha with his vivacious mouth. (Top that, Patricia, Rosanna, and David.) Further saucing up the proceedings, author JAMES ST. JAMES downs a glass of "hot steaming piss" judiciously mixed with vodka and bitters. (You know, a Pee-tini.) "It wasn't bad at all," James urbanely insisted to me last week. Who says this isn't a new golden age?
Meanwhile, raise a glass of sass to drag star SHERRY VINE, a real pisser who was recently sent to perform at a gay club called DTM in frigidly appealing Helsinki, Finland. The promoter who booked Sherry tells me from the tundra that she was all that and a kitchen sinki. "We arranged a press conference," he exulted, "and for the first time media actually showed up! After that, I was able to book Sherry on Good Morning Finlandthe first time they had a drag queen." Wait, what about Diane . . . ? Oh, sorry, that's Good Morning America.
Let's also toast the new gay channel LOGO, even if in three years, their response to me went from "You're invaluable" to "Zzzzzz." (But hey, I popped up in the documentary that launched the channel, and I'm absolutely certain I'll end up a massive star there. Right?) Anyway, their slate of shows sounds interestingly diverse and I'm glad they're not doing spring break type trash or other exercises better suited to home video. Their soft launch is probably smart toothough it was so soft that I didn't read one word about it in any of the three major papers the day of the start. (Even if not badgered by publicists, couldn't the TV sections have taken it upon themselves to note the new channel? At least the Times did a major piece in advance.)
I guess the idea is to let people get used to this new one-stop-gay-shopping conceptto run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it. But in the meantime, anyone who may be moaning, "Why a gay channel?" should be strapped down, rammed with a cell phone, and asked why they never objected to the women's, food, animal, sci-fi, and cartoon ones, not to mention Good Morning Finland.
Moving on to the majors, NBC's I Want to Be a Hilton recently featured social publicist R. COURI HAY as an etiquette expert so tasteful he's never been overaccessorized with a first name. Over real 'tinis at the opening of Sortie, Hay told me, "KATHY HILTON asked me to be the drill sergeant on the show. It turned out to be really long hours with no hair, no makeup, no wardrobe, and no pay! And Kathy was there with three hairdressers, several makeup artists, and a stylist, gliding out of her trailer in Chanel." Honey, I want to be a Hilton. By the way, two things that apparently didn't make the final cut: Couri threatening to size the guys up with a ruler and his asking the girls, "Do you like it hard or soft?" Alexis Arquette's mouth tricks must also have ended up on the floor along with his knees.

At the movies, a gay reader became wildly unaroused when he and his date went to see DAVID LACHAPELLE's krumping documentary Rize. Writes the complainant, "A black hetero couple was about to sit next to us until the male noticed and quickly moved several rows away from us queers. The irony of the situation was totally lost on him and his snickering girl, as they had no clue that the film, steeped in homoeroticism, was made by a Queen Bee herself."
Sad, sad, sadand by the way, much as I worshipped the movie, I thought it weird that it totally avoided sexuality issues (some of those krumpers seem pretty, you know), missing out on a giant chance for education or at least rabid-curiosity-fulfilling.
To spread myself on a fuller queer sandwich, I krumped over to Cherry Grove, where the primary references are still "But you are, Blanche!" "I'm Neely O'Hara!" and "Do you know where you're going to?"and that's fine with tired old me. In fact, Gay Bingo at the Community Houseyou heard mewas a riotous retro romp as hosted by the glamorous SYBIL BRUNCHEON (a/k/a John Burke), with help from the likes of PANZI, GEFIL TEFISH, and FABIO GORGISSIMO. The game night has become such a cult experience for sand dune survivors that the crowd has responses ready for each number called. I-21 got a loud chorus of "liar!" B-9 was instantly answered by "Thank God!" And B-4 had a queen marching through the crowd and singing "Before the Parade Passes By." It's all very N-dearing.
Down a few planks, over at the Tides, drag diva SWEETIE was mixing her customary warm ballad lip syncs with acidly cutting commentary, doing so well with it she'll no doubt be shipped off to Finland soon. About LAURA BUSH, she advised, "Cut her hair! Give her some highlights! Slap a pair of lashes on that cunt! She's a dowdy old bitch who's determined to be uglier than the royal family!"
In the Pines, I learned that queen bee ROBIN BYRD is hawking ringtone messages that she's recorded for cell phones. ("Kiss my feet, slave, and answer the phone," one of them spiritedly goes.) But I learned from an actual queen that STAR JONES is getting paid less because she won't be promoting Payless anymore. Due to the economy, corporate shake-ups, and other factors, Star's million-dollar-a-year contract wasn't renewed. So you can all kiss her bare feet.
I wore Blahnik galoshes to Fox's unfortunately waterlogged premiere of Fantastic Four at Liberty Island, a five-hour epic evening that had invitees standing in a holding pen for an hour until the rain stopped and we could board the ferry; scarily stampeding the buffet station when we landed on the soggy island (I won); taking in a what-the-heck fireworks display, which was still sputtering as the movie finally started; and then, when the projector died from residual moisture after just a few minutesa godsend?queasily boarding the boat right back to New York. "Whose idea was this?" muttered FABIAN BASABE as a Daily News columnist blamed it all on RUPERT MURDOCH's bad karma. But it was a rousing adventure, cough cough, and at least I got to meet CHRIS EVANS, who plays Johnny Storm-the Human Torch. When I asked him if he's the fiercest of the four, Evans said, "Fiercest? Have you seen JESSICA ALBA?" "Well, I'm gay, so she does nothing for me," I replied, and he generously laughed and patted me on the back. Fuck Lady LibertyI'm carrying a torch for the Human Torch.
What overrated fortyish music star is referred to by Equinox trainers as "Stinky"; in fact, they all draw straws to see who's going to have to work with him? What longtime new wave singer looks really smart in his cross-dressing clothes? What online writer says stuff like "I got this bag for free. I'm on that level now"? What female scribe is getting very intimate with that society gal with a shady parent? What celebrity's famous dad generously told a camera crew that his daughter should be more honest about her former heroin habit? What composer read a diva in front of people for fucking with the character, but he still gets her parts anyway? What irrepressible TV-to-movie star plowed a supermodel, then when she was asleep, slipped off to screw another one down the hall? Why did he never make it into the room beyond that? (I was lying with my butt poised.)
What onetime MADONNA find hangs around Beige telling racist jokes? What celeb's ex-husband just had a threatening e-mail sent to MICHELANGELO SIGNORILE? Free answer: DAVID GEST. His office demanded for no specified reason that Signorile remove from his site a three-year-old article he did chronicling the media's speculation about the guy's sexuality (and in fact that he remove any mention of him)? Honey, if Gest is trying to flush all gay online references, it might be easier for him to just shut down Macintosh and Microsoft. Signorile responds, "This is ridiculous. I'm not taking down anything."

NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Danny Ferguson reports on the Mariners series matchup with the Oakland Athletics. PITCHING MATCHUP: Mariners RH Kevin Millwood (3-6, 4.00 ERA) vs. Athletics LH Tommy Milone (8-6, 3.73) in the series opener. Millwood missed his last start due to the fact he was licking his wounds. Which is bad when you have a groin injury.

I was a little skeptical when I bought these liners but I was pleasantly surprised. They were easy to install and I like the fact that they have smooth and ridged side options.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by JinRockville Great smelling and they last!
I've been using these for about a year, and they still smell great. Like all cedar products, they can be refreshed by just lightly sanding to exposure new wood. I put them in suit bags to protect my clothing.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by FLHomeOrgAddict freshens interior of old dressers
The smell is great for a sock drawer. I used some to line an old wooden shelf in the closet of my apartment. That in combination with some of the other cedar closet products has reguvinated a dingy closet in a 32 year old building

Very attractive look to these-I use them at the bottom of the clear coat and gown bag like displayed in the store. I like the addition of the lavender since it's a variation from just the original cedar.

Libertarian Radio Host: Santa Is White Just Like MLK Was Black

"I'm sorry. Santa Claus is white, okay? Deal with it," Boortz, who was filling in for Herman Cain on his radio show, said after a caller asked about the controversy surrounding Kelly's statement.
"I'm gonna scream and complain because Martin Luther King is always portrayed as black," Boortz added.

Mission Statement:
This series is intended to outline the feminist text of each episode so as to provoke and encourage open discussion. It's not so much about making value judgments about events and/or characters but about analyzing the series from a feminist framework so as to see what patterns and themes emerge.
1. If you do not consider yourself a feminist or do not see the point of dissecting a TV show from a feminist perspective, this is not the meta series for you. I don't mean this in a hostile way, however the intended audience of this series is feminists who want to turn a critical eye to the show.
2. This meta series is written well beyond a 101 level of feminism. If you are new to feminism, I ask that you please take a look at this blog for an introduction to concepts that will be discussed heavily here.
3. If you begin to feel yourself getting defensive on behalf of a character (or the show), take a break from commenting. The outlines as posted are not meant to condemn either the characters or the show, but to contextualize the dialogue and events within the patriarchal cultural in which they reside.
4. BtVS is a constructed media. The characters are not actual people but are written, dressed, and directed by a team of outsiders. Criticizing a character for, say, having sex could be a sexist insult or it could be a legitimate criticism of the writers who chose to go that route with the storyline. There are nuances here when discussing a television show, and I ask that everybody be careful about exactly what's being discussed. A couple helpful terms are Watsonian and Doylist. "Watsonian" indicates that the discussion is taking place within the Buffy universe as if the characters are real people. "Doylist" indicates that the discussion is focused on the construction of the narrative and, as such, deals with the decisions of the writers and/or producers.
5. The key goal here is open discussion. I'm not presenting you guys with any brilliant insights; I'm just laying out what's in the episode. Feel free to discuss or disagree with me and others. Also feel free to answer other commenter's questions. The comment section is an open floor.
2.19 I Only Have Eyes For You
I. The Tallies
Criteria for Bechdel Check: The episode must have a) two women in it b) who talk to each other c) about something besides a man.
- Bechdel Check: PASS on 2 counts.
- Deaths:
Dead boys: 1
Dead girls: 2
II. Agency
Criteria for Agency: Do the female characters a) exert power or influence over the plot b) through decisions based on their own characterization? Agency means more than providing information or support that helps the (usually male) characters resolve the conflict.
The Plot: The ghost of a young boy who killed his lover, his teacher, haunts the school. This forces Buffy to face her own feelings of guilt for Angel losing his soul.
The Big Question:
If Buffy were taken out of this episode, would events occur in much the same fashion? No.
If Willow were taken out of this episode, would events occur in much the same fashion? No.
If Cordelia were taken out of this episode, would events occur in much the same fashion? Yes.
If Ms. Frank were taken out of this episode, would events occur in much the same fashion? Yes.
If Grace were taken out of this episode, would events occur in much the same fashion? No.
If Drusilla were taken out of this episode, would events occur in much the same fashion? Yes.
- Decisive Buffy: As usual, Buffy is the first one to catch on that something weird's going on. When Giles is preoccupied with the Jenny explanation, Buffy takes the lead in figuring out what's going on. Willow swiftly joins in to help.
- Decisive Willow: After the snake attack on the school, Willow decides to scrap the earlier plan of communicating with James' spirit and she comes up with the plan to exorcise him.
- Decisive Grace: She plays the central role, of course, in being the object of James' guilt. Her choice to forgive James after death is what ends the haunting.
III. The Feminist Fine-Toothed Comb
Criteria: Do any of the characters engage in sexist dialogue or action, whether overt or subtle? Does it receive an explicit rebuke or does it pass uncommented on? Further, what can be deduced from the various gendered comments that are made by the characters?
- Protagonists (Buffy, Xander, Willow, Giles, and Cordelia)
1. In Act One, Xander handwaves away Buffy's concerns about the recent events:Xander: I don't wanna poo-poo your wiggins, but a domestic dispute, a little case of chalkboard Tourette's?
The "domestic dispute" that Xander refers to is actually a case of attempted murder (Putting aside the fact that it's a result of the haunting, which the gang isn't quite aware of yet). Yet because it involves a couple, this instance of violence against a woman gets categorized, and trivialized, as a "domestic dispute".
This type of trivialization is common. Rape is often dismissed as a "miscommunication" between a couple. When one partner rapes the other, it's called a "date rape" (or the more loathsome "gray rape"). Assault against women are "domestic disputes". All these cute terms have the effect of minimalizing and downplaying the seriousness of the crimes. As such, a case wherein a guy pulls a gun on his girlfriend while yelling at her that she's a "bitch", is seen as a simple "domestic dispute".
2. After Xander gets roughed up by a random locker monster, Willow comments upon seeing him:Willow: Xander, what happened? Did Cordelia win another round in the broom closet?
Our culture implicitly links sex and violence all the time. "Fuck you" and its variations are used to connote a violent insult. Sexual intercourse is "pounding", "hammering", "screwing", etc.
Willow's joke conflating a make-out session in the broom closet with a physical alternation plays in line with the larger cultural standard for sex as violence as well as the idea of sex being a competitive act with winners and losers. Of course, the secondary joke is that Xander, the male, loses.
3.Xander: Your dreams are getting wicked accurate, Buff. You wouldn't happen to see me coming across some big cash? Or possibly knowing the love of a woman? In a full body sense?
As usual, Xander breaks out the sexual comments, though this time he's not sexualizing Willow or Buffy.
4. When discussing what James did, Buffy is vehemently against forgiving him:Buffy: No, he should be doing sixty years in a prison, breaking rocks and making special friends with Roscoe the Weightlifter.
She makes a casual reference to prison rape. Prison rape jokes are still considered acceptable humor even though they trivialize and normalize an actual brutal crime. Indeed, sometimes it goes beyond humor into wishes for revenge. Declarations that anybody deserves rape as punishment are disturbing.
5. In Act Two, Cordelia takes a decidedly anti-feminist stance in regards to the Sadie Hawkins Dance:Cordelia: I hope you guys aren't going to the Sadie Hawkins Dance tonight, (sits) 'cause I'm organizing a boycott. Do you realize that the girls have to ask the guys? And pay and everything? I mean, whose genius idea was that?
Xander: Obviously, some hairy-legged feminist.
Cordelia: Really! Well, we need to nip this thing in the bud. I mean, otherwise, things are going to get really scary.
6.Willow: But it can't ever happen! It always ends the same, which means Buffy just went in there to get shot, Giles.
Giles: Yes. But the school's deserted. There's no way for James to... to play his part. There's, there's no man inside for him to possess.
It's interesting how, even knowing that Buffy identifies with James, the Scoobies go on the assumption that Buffy would play Grace's part because of their shared gender. The thought that Buffy could play the man's part never crosses their minds. This points to how rigid our views of gender are. - The Rest (Grace, James, Snyder, Ben)
1.Ben: So, I was wondering, you know the dance tomorrow night? Are you going?
Buffy: You mean the Sadie Hawkins thing? The deal where the girls ask the boys?
Ben: Yeah.
Ben: And I thought maybe, you know, if you're free, you might ask me.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, we get a warping of the intent of the Sadie Hawkins dance. Even though girls are supposed to ask the boys to it, a boy - Ben in this instance - ends up asking the girl anyway.
Men and boys are still assumed to be the ones who need to show the initiative when it comes to dating.
2. James' oft-repeated phrase: "DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME, BITCH!" contains a sexist slur.
3. While chewing Buffy out in his office, Snyder refers to her as "missy", a very diminuative form of address.
IV. Objectification Watch
- At the beginning, we get a shot of Buffy on the balcony from Willow's viewpoint.
V. Points to Consider
- The episode revolves around the Sadie Hawkins dance. What's to be made of the gender dynamics involved in this tradition? And how does it tie into the episode, as a whole?
- What's to be made of the partner violence in this episode?
The theme is of forgiveness, and the final revelation that the gun went off accidentally seems intended to absolve James of some of his guilt. After all, Grace – or her spirit, at least – forgives him.
But this boy purposely took a gun to a confrontation with his lover, yelled at her when she wanted to end the relationship, and pulled the gun on her. This is all violence. What are we supposed to think with the sympathetic message towards James?Buffy: But-but I killed you.
Angelus: It was an accident. It wasn't your fault.
Buffy: Oh, it *is* my fault. How could I...
Angelus: Shhh. I'm the one who should be sorry, James. You thought I stopped loving you. But I never did. I loved you with my last breath.
It's not only sympathetic, we get the victim of the violence – Grace – apologizing to her murderer for trying to leave him.
Murder-suicides are a particularly gendered crime, often carried out by men against their intimate partners. How do we reconcile this with the parallel to a relationship between a young girl and her older boyfriend wherein having sex with him essentially "kills" him? Is there an adequate parallel? Does the episode problematize this? - And what about the parallels to the Buffy/Angel sex?
In the James/Grace scenario, we do have a teacher having a relationship with her student. We're not given James' age, but the power dynamics between a high school teacher and a student make the affair questionable. How does the episode present James insofar as he's the partner with less power?
We've discussed before (in Teacher's Pet) about how underage boys having sex with older women are seen as being exceedingly lucky because they're being ushered into manhood early. In contrast, underage girls who have sex with older men are seen as having something taken away from them (innocence). Does this episode provide any contrasting comentary on this point between James and Buffy?

Ajax calls *seem* to cause disappearance of join/leave buttons, other buttons too,
I've noticed that there has been a pretty consistent issue with, for instance, the join/leave group buttons on the main groups directory disappearing after an ajax call is made (like using the drop down 'Order by: ' filter). They come back with a full refresh of the page. This occurs else where, though this is the most prominent instance and all instances seem to be related to ajax calls.
I don't see any errors in the console and there are no relevant errors on the server side. I have buddypress 1.6.1 and am using the buddypress template pack to make it compatible with a custom theme.
Was just wondering if anyone else has had trouble with this or if there are any tips on where I might look first to investigate this unwanted behavior.
Thanks in advance. – kp

Two Kinds of Smart
We've talked about 2 kinds of reading – fluency and comprehension – and 2 kinds of math – computation and concepts. Now I'd like to talk about 2 kinds of smart—high IQs and high achievement. None of them are mutually exclusive. And in a perfect world, all are honed to work together for maximum results.
Johns Hopkins University has done a great deal of research on how people learn, and their findings show that people with super high IQs often have the same discipline and social problems as people with low IQs. They cannot communicate. Most of us don't understand their thought processes. They are lonely because they haven't an "equal" to interact with. And generally they are socially inept.
Interestingly, these are the same students who drive teachers and parents crazy because they tend not to do well in school, Einstein being the classic example. The class is boring, the teacher is lousy, the textbook is dull, the relevance is questionable, so our high IQ student doesn't do what he needs to do to get good grades. From where I'm sitting, that isn't very smart.
An IQ is a measure of our potential to learn and apply concepts. It is not a guarantee for academic success. So what can we do as parents of these types of kids. First, make sure they understand that this is a gift, but nothing more. They need to learn the habits that allow them to succeed in school. Make sure you are reminding them that good grades are important for future endeavors and help them to consistently complete homework and projects on time and well. Provide enrichment at home. There are tons of resources that have fun projects that kids can do in their own kitchen or back yard. Invest in a microscope, a garden, an atlas. Read good literature. Do not excuse them because "school is too easy" and they are not challenged. Establish the expectation that you want to see good grades and high performance.
All these things will help with intellectual growth. Now you need to work on the social growth. Make sure they are part of a team. It doesn't have to be sports, although the benefits of physical competition and development are well known. It can be a chess team or a book club. The idea is to work with others to reach some sort of joint goal. Get involved in scouting as a means to setting goals and achieving them. The intellectual and social diversity in a group like Girl Scouts will help your child learn to interact well with everyone, be tolerant of differences, and develop leadership skills, as well as learning to follow a leader less "smart" than he/she. Make sure he is around kids his age in an informal setting – slumber parties, swim lessons, barbeques. Finally, don't tell him all the time how smart he is. Compliment actions and results.
There is a famous study where 60 students were divided into 2 groups, one with very high IQs, one with low IQs. The teachers of the high IQ class were told that the students were borderline intellectually and the teachers of the low IQ class were told the kids were super smart. The results after a year are stunning, although not surprising. The high IQ kids were unaccomplished, undisciplined, and generally unhappy about learning. Their IQs actually dropped. The other group was high achievers, eager students, hungry to learn. Their IQs actually increased. The message about expectations is another topic for another time. The point for now is that "smart" is certainly a relative term.

A western Pennsylvania county sheriff awaiting trial on charges he threatened a political campaign worker and an online news reporter claims his office was unfairly targeted with a $400,000 budget cut.
But the Beaver County Times reports the county's commissioners have cut Sheriff George David's budget because of looming mandates under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
The cuts are proposed from a fund used to pay part-time deputies. The county doesn't want to pay for health benefits for the part-timers and hopes to keep from scheduling them more than 30 hours a week so the county won't be mandated to provide such coverage under the health care reforms.
The county plans a one-year trial period to gauge how many workers might be eligible for the coverage before the employer mandates kick in Jan. 1, 2015.
