Win Win (US - BD RA)
Gabe Gabe enjoys enjoys this this new new drama drama/comedy comedy...
A New Jersey elder law attorney Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti) finds himself in a rough situation as his business struggles, and his building starts to fall apart. Hard up for cash he sees an opportunity for quick money by acting as a dementia-suffering client named Leo's (Burt Young) guardian. Mike keeps this information to himself to avoid possible ethical issues. Meanwhile he spends his evenings coaching high school wrestling with his office mate Stephen (Jeffery Tambor). The team is terrible, and the losing streak takes an equal toll on Mike's dimming self-esteem. Everything changes when Leo's grandson Kyle (Alex Shaffer) shows up hoping to stay with his grandfather while his mother Cindy (Melanie Lynskey) works her way through rehab. Mike and his wife Jackie (Amy Ryan) reluctantly take Kyle into their home, and support him despite not being entirely sure they trust him. Soon after Mike discovers that Kyle was a star wrestler, and a new surrogate father and son relationship blooms.
Win Win comes as a pleasant surprise. I hadn't heard much about the film before receiving my review copy, and had assumed, based on its synopsis and the presence of Paul Giamatti, that I was in for another bout of First World problem navel gazing akin to Little Miss Sunshine, Smart People, or that movie only I seem to dislike, Sideways. Well, I shouldn't say that. Win Win
is, generally speaking, a navel gazing exploration of First World problems, but it does what it does better than other navel gazing explorations of First World problems, and does it with an earned sweetness, and touching honesty rare to the subgenre (if we can call it that). Win Win is a feel good movie that feels good without lying to our faces about it. This honesty isn't entirely surprising given the fact that writer/director Thomas McCarthy is the guy behind The Station Agent, The Visitor, and was one of the co-writers on Pete Docter's Up (mostly in the form of a script doctor from what I can gather.) I wasn't the biggest fan of The Station Agent, but it was a strong first film, and McCarthy has clearly honed his specific brand of placid, sardonic comedy. The Visitor is probably the 'better' movie, but I can imagine myself re-watching and recommending Win Win more regularly.
Usually I'd expect a story like this, which melds low-key comedy with low-key drama, to take its drama way too seriously. When something bad happens here McCarthy doesn't expect us to break down in tears. His characters treat their issues with endearing consistency, and sarcasm that doesn't erode our affections. Even the inevitable third act conflict is played with a general lack of melodrama, despite a few dark turns. The low energy performances will probably rub some viewers the wrong way, but these characters aren't the same quasi-autistic space cases that leaked out of the uncanny success of Napoleon Dynamite. McCarthy is more interested in these people than he is in his plot, which hinders him a bit (the movie doesn't feel particularly long, but it does move listlessly), but his affection pulls the audience through some interactions that really should be grating. Chief among these are scenes featuring Kyle and his surrogate mother Jackie, who don't really have much to talk about outside of general niceties. Somehow these ended up being my favourite scenes in the entire movie. I suppose Amy Ryan's incredibly natural and wry performance doesn't hurt. I probably don't need to verify the fact that Giamatti, Bobby Cannavale (as Mike's best friend), and Tambor are all quite good as well, but would like to make special note of young Alex Shaffer, who apparently got the gig based more on his real life wrestling skills. Shaffer feels like the real thing from the get go, but is also capable of genuinely acting when it is required of him without any noticeable strain. I'm a bit disappointed as a fan that Melanie Lynskey doesn't have a whole lot to do here, but she plays a relatively despicable character gracefully enough to stave off rotten tomatoes from the audience.
Win Win is better than most films of its ilk, but it more or less looks exactly like all of them. Stylistically clarity and solid colours are the name of the game, but wide-angle lenses make for some nice, clean background details, and decent fine textures (mostly hair and clothing fibers). The colour palette is almost obsessively specific, and the select hues are more solid than mixed. Just about every set wall is either custard yellow or crushed blue, the outdoors are a mix of lush greens and desaturated grays, and each character is mostly defined by one or two wardrobe colours (usually blue, green, yellow, burgundy or black). As it seems to be the cool thing do with independent comedy/drama, Win Win is shot with a yellow tint, and low light levels that create deep, dark blacks. Win Win is shot on film, and it does show in terms of fine grain, which does increase with darker shots, but there isn't a lot in the way of noticeable compression noise.
You probably won't be surprised to discover that this particular DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack isn't particularly aggressive. The mix pushes naturalism over hyperrealism, meaning that all unnecessary sound is excised, and necessary sound sounds like it was all recorded on-set. Dialogue is crystalline, and all like volume levels are consistent. Stereo and surround effects that don't involve music pretty much begin and end with the sound of ringing, broken pipes. Even the crowd noise inherent in the wrestling scenes is mostly centered, with a few escaping echo effects (end buzzers, whistles, music). But for the most part noise is centered. The lack of compression shines, however, as volume levels are high and crisp without any noticeable distortion. The clean electric guitar soundtrack is rich, features wide stereo effects, and a decent LFE throb.
The extras begin with two deleted scenes (1:50, HD), which show Mike at work, and the family unit driving to work. From here we move on to a discussion with writer/director Tom McCarthy, and co-story writer Joe Tiboni (6:30, HD) who discuss their personal experiences that informed the story. 'David Thompson at Sundance 2011' (2:30, HD) is an adorable triptik/interview/commercial with the young supporting actor as he wanders the streets around the Sundance Film Festival. 'In Conversation with Tom McCarthy and Paul Giamatti at Sundance 2011' (2:30, HD) is another EPK/interview that mostly acts as a summary and sales piece. 'Family' (2:20, HD) continues the fluffy EPK trend, but features a few extra interview subjects, and some minor behind the scenes footage. Things end with a 'Think You Can Wait' music video by The National, and a proper trailer.
Win Win isn't for everyone, but fans of writer/director Thomas McCarthy's other films, and folks looking for a simple story full of honest smiles will find plenty to love. Parents might also like to know that the films R-rating is entirely unearned, and is owed to a handful of entirely innocent f-bombs that aren't directed as an insult or description of a dirty act. The colourful photography makes for a nice looking 1080p transfer, and despite being quite simple, the audio mix is noticeably cleaner at higher volume levels than many similar releases. Extras are weak all around.

Awesome episode. The rival production company was ridiculously over the top, I love it. President Kuroi is going go dye the world noir. That's pretty funny.
Yayoi was too damn cute this episode. On the cooking show, and in the hallway especially.
"High five"! ^^

This shit, I can' even describe..well, I'll do it anyways.
First of all, love the OP. It's definitely a nice CHANGE!!!! of pace hurr durr hurrr.
Second, it's great seeing these playas move up in the entertainment industry. I think it's officially okay to refer to Producer as Honeyducer now. But fucking 961 bitches gotta do their stupid shit, which kinda made me mad. But that's all part of the Game; 765 Pro just gotta outdo them while staying classy G's. Success is the best kind of revenge, after all.
Third, I had no idea Hibiki's pets played pranks on her. ROFL xD
ED was pretty funny too. Loved the whole ep.
edit: Fourth, KOTORI~~~! So alone in that office. ;___;

But Haruka seems to me to be the "silent leader" of the group, who's main purpose thus far has been keeping the group on track, upbeat and generally "positive" while putting forth effort.

Just finished episode 14 and I'm happy to see the Idols progressing through their careers, since their big debut last episode.
The OP is fine, but I liked the first one better and for the ED, its constantly changing, so I give up on criticizing them.
A new antagonist that has a major effect on the Idols is "President Kurio" the manager of the Jupiter boy band group, I don't like his underhand tactics and I'm glad the girls didn't copy his dirty antics.
Haruka is the background leader, and she doing a really good job, even from the beginning she swayed the mood of the group, from negativity to positivity without being direct about it (like episode 14).
The fan mail for Makoto was adorable, "I want to become a cute princess for Prince Makoto," to bad Miki and Yukiho has dips

Series are growing on me. Plenty of cute girls, good continuity. Good transition from episode 13. Producer's big talk starting to get on my nerves and I already thought he redeemed himself in the episode with Miki's crysis. And damn i want more Takane!
P.S. What do I read here there are hints for Makoto and Producer being romanticly involved. Bleh outrageous. Couldn't they hook her with good guy around her age instead some bland dude.

Hngh...HNNNGH-!!! *huff*huff* phew, almost passed out from the awesomeness of "CHANGE!!!". LOVED it. Not only the song itself is awesome but the animation too. I especially loved Chihaya's scene with her child-self singing behind her...cute. But not as cute as Yayoi and Iori in the OP.
Haruka's disguise is so cute. She actually looks good with glasses. And wow...look at how full the board is filled up, I'm surprised they just didnt buy a larger one. LOL. BUSY, BUSY, BUSY. But you'd think they'd atleast splurge enough money to get those fancy prints done on their windows...just how long are they going to keep the "765" written with tape?
(o.O)? Oh? Yayoi with her own cooking show!? WIN. And to top it off she starts right of with "Uh-Uuh~!", and right after I said we werent getting enough of that. I'd watch every episode of her show...and I'd learn to be a better cook, its win/win.
Mmm...delicious fruits. *stares at Miki's melons* Huh, what? No, not "those" melons silly. ANYWAY, they kinda just brushed off any additional comments whatsoever on Miki calling Producer-san "Honey" huh? Whatever.
Spoiler for ITS THEM!! The Puchi Masu!!:
...BandaiNamco is sure full of themselves. *Points to the "Namco" signs* (=3=) -3
Oh, Koyasu...uh, I mean Kuroi, you evil bastard. I dont know if he's worse in the anime or in the games. LOL. But seriously what "exactly" happened in their past? And does Kotori-san have any part in this? Looked like she knows something...hmmm
Lets just sit back and watch how 765PRO will overcome Koya...Kuroi's evil schemes.

Nice to see their hard work finally paying off and they're all finally so busy that even Kotori is lonely. I want those straps their adorable. Jupiter is really getting on my nerves now. WTF is with 961 Pro, i would totally storm into his office and beat him up, how dare he do that. Good thing our girls bounce back quick, all it took was some encouragement from their fans. Oh and Miki is calling Producer Honey now.

Capuano Resolution Condemning Slavery in Sudan Passes in Committee
June 12, 2003 -- Today Rep. Michael Capuano's (D-MA) resolution condemning slavery and other violations of human rights in Sudan passed the House International Relations Committee by unanimous consent. It is now eligible for consideration by the full House.
"This issue has taken on new urgency because of the recent United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) vote on Sudan, refusing to take action on its horrendous human rights record. This is unacceptable and the United States Congress should be on record saying so," stated Rep. Capuano.
The United Nations Commission on Human Rights conducted its 59th session in Geneva in April. Sudan had been designated an "Item 9" country, one with rights violations so outrageous that an official, a Special Rapporteur, was required to investigate abuses and report annually to the U.N. General Assembly. This year, by a vote of 26 to 24 with 3 abstentions, the UNCHR changed the status of Sudan, making the country eligible for UN aid and technical assistance without requiring them to address gross violations of human rights.
"The State Department reports that between 5,000 and 15,000 women and children have been abducted by the Sudanese government during the past fifteen years and thousands remain in captivity. Many have been sold into slavery, sent to manual labor camps and many, including children, have been forced to serve as soldiers. Sudanese troops continue to abduct civilians and nearly 2 million people have died as a result of the Sudanese government's attempts to subjugate the southern Sudanese. There is absolutely no basis for upgrading the status of Sudan in the United Nations," stated Rep. Capuano.
The resolution was amended in the Subcommittee on Africa to reflect the vote of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. It directs the United States to work on reclassifying Sudan as an "Item 9" country. It also calls on the United States to make clear to all members of the UN Commission that "the refusal to condemn slavery in Sudan undermines any moral authority that the Commission might seek to assert in other areas," and to encourage the United Nations to consider reinstating sanctions against Sudan.

About The Polo Club in Far Hills
Ideally situated in the center of Far Hills (Somerset County) NJ, The Polo Club is an upscale Townhome community consisting of 96 homes, whose close proximity to the train station makes it ideal for both New York commuters or those who prefer living within walking distance to everything in town without the burden of maintaining the exterior, landscaping and snow removal. Most of the units were built in early to mid 1990's, and vary in size from approximately 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. Prices generally start in the mid $600's to just under $1M.
The Polo Club is conveniently located directly across the street from the Far Hills Train Station featuring mid-town direct service to NYC, and Moorland Farms, the site of the annual Far Hills Race Meeting, which offers some of the richest purses in America and is host of the Breeders' Cup steeplechase, the most prestigious race in American steeplechasing. Held annually at the height of the fall foliage season in late October, this event has been in existence for the past 90 years. Race day purses can equal up to or more than $1,000,000, with six races offering the highest purses on the National Steeplechase Association circuit. Considered one of the premier social events of the year in the tri-state area, it is attended by as many as 50,000 people annually.
There are many factors that make up the differences in local real estate markets, even from town to town and especially in a small state such as New Jersey. This is why it is important for both buyers and sellers to obtain the latest "local" market data before they make any real estate decisions.

TALLAHASSEE — For months, Florida State's defense has been built upon expectations.
Hopes around the Sunshine State and abroad have been high for the unit that was ranked college football's fourth-best a year ago. With so many key starters from 2011 coming back, most of the sport's experts have had little reason to believe the group wouldn't be right back in the same elite conversations this fall.
At least, that was before Wednesday morning.
In a short statement from coach Jimbo Fisher, the Seminoles announced that one of their best returning defensive pieces, cornerback Greg Reid, was being dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules. Coming just five days...

Not quite a whole day.. But my mother is having knee replacement surgery next week. My father and grandmother are deceased and I'm pretty much her only support and will need to be there. My baby will be 5 weeks and we are working on bottle introduction this week. How do I manage being there for her, maintaining supply, and avoiding nipple confusion. Hubby will be w baby about 20 min away..
My baby is fed on demand so I'm not sure how many times he will want to eat or want a bottle..
I'm so stressed w all of this.. I do have a double electric to pump while away.. I'm more concerned about baby refusing my breast when it's all over.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Nations Afire - "I Am An Army"
Nations Afire are a four piece band that features current and former members of some of the most influential punk and hardcore bands from the past decade. Guitarist Chris Chasse has an impressive resume that includes a tenure with Rise Against (Siren Song of the Counter Culture '04 and The Sufferer & the Witness '06). Vocalist/guitarist Nik Hill and bassist Brett Rasmussen are both long standing members of the Orange County hardcore outfit Ignite and drummer Todd Hennig was the percussive force behind Death By Stereo for three albums.
Bassist Brett Rasmussen explains the bands excitement in making their own video. "I think we have all done just about everything there is to do in regards to being in a band like; writing, recording, producing, playing live, touring and so forth, but none of us had ever made a full production video ourselves. It was a welcomed challenge and to be honest, ended up being a lot of fun!" The band called on another friend, editor Tim Lunsford, to handle the cutting of the video. We were sitting there with Tim for about an hour and he finally said "Are you guys gonna really sit here for the next 8 hours and watch me do this…get outta here, I will send you the first cut tonight" We all laughed, then left. "I really think every band should direct their own video at least once, it creates a sense of pride for the product and puts even a bigger fingerprint on your work" Rasmussen said after the completion of the video.
Nations Afire have some local shows booked in Southern California in May/June and are in the process of booking a European tour for August.
Nations Afire Tour Dates:
May 16 - Costa Mesa, CA - Detroit Bar
May 17 - Long Beach, CA - DiPiazzas
June 2 - West Hollywood, CA - Viper Room
Aug 13 - Sept 2 **European Tour**

Coroner: Man fatally shoots woman, leaves her body in ditch
Shooting happened Thursday morning in Anderson County Shooting happened Thursday morning in Anderson County
Authorities are looking for a man they say fatally shot a woman and left her body in a ditch, officials said.
The shooting happened around 3 a.m. Thursday near Level Land Road and Wright School Road in Anderson County, according to the coroner's office.
Deputy Coroner Charlie Boseman said a man and two women were in a truck when the man shot one of the women.
The woman's body was found in a ditch, Boseman said.
He said the man drove away in the woman's truck and left the truck at the intersection of Scott Road and Due West Highway. Boseman said the other woman was being interviewed where the victim's body was found when he arrived.
The victim is a 45-year-old woman from Pelzer. Her name has not been released.
Deputies are searching for the man involved.

Seven or eight years ago the main weed call in wheat was Italian ryegrass.
That has changed over the last several years with henbit and poa (annual bluegrass) causing the most problems in wheat.
Some have asked if Harmony will provide any control of these two weeds. Harmony at best will only provide about 60 percent henbit control and will be no help on poa.
The best herbicide option is metribuzin. In our research 4 to 5 ozs/A of metribuzin (Sencor) will provide at least 80 percent control of henbit and over 90 percent control of poa.
Of course the concern with metribuzin is that some wheat varieties vary on their inherent tolerance to this herbicide. There are wheat varieties listed on the metribuzin label that have good tolerance. Unfortunately, those varieties are ancient history.
Three years ago Bob Scott and I screened pretty much all the commercial varieties grown in the Mid-South for metribuzin tolerance. This data can be accessed online at: (http://www.utcrops.com/wheat/wheat_pdf/Sencor%20Word%20copy.pdf). Most varieties had good tolerance. However, in just 3 years there has been almost a complete turnover of wheat varieties grown in the Mid-South. None of these new varieties have been formally screened.
The question I have been asked often this winter is x, y or z variety sensitive to metribuzin? I have no data on these new varieties so their guess is as good as mine.
What I can say is that metribuzin has been used widely on wheat in Tennessee this past fall and early spring with no reports of any variety sensitivity. Metribuzin can be applied to wheat up to the jointing stage.
There have been a few calls coming in with folks interested in spraying wild garlic (onions) in wheat. The main concern is whether or not there is enough new growth on the wild garlic to obtain good control with Harmony Extra.
Harmony Extra is primarily taken up through the foliage. Therefore, new growth in the spring is essential to obtain good control. The Harmony Extra label states that 2 to 4 inches of new growth from stressed weeds is essential for good control.
The mistake many make is to look for the new growth at the end of the garlic leaf. The new growth actually comes from the bulb area and not from the end of the leaf.
Some have also asked about adding Clarity at this time with their Harmony Extra. Clarity can be safely used in wheat up to the first wheat joint. Though I haven't seen every field, it is apparent there is little garlic pressure in the wheat sowed in fields that have been in cotton for several years.
In a few fields there has been so little it was not worth spraying. It may save you some money to step out and scout the garlic level in some of these fields.

Columbia Pictures yet again announced to the Hollywood industry press that a sequel to the classic feel-good comedy Groundhog Day is already in the works and set for release in early 2013.
With Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell already on board, studio executives were said to be 'excited' to return to this much-loved movie and satisfy the growing audience demand for a follow-up as the 20th anniversary of the original approaches.
Co-writer and director of the 1993 release, Harold Ramis, is also thought to be keen to get involved in the project, tentatively titled 'Groundhog Day All Over Again', and has approved the use of the entire original screenplay for what will be essentially a frame-by-frame remake with the original set, crew, cast and caterers.

The injured were taken to a nearby hospital; all the victims are civilians, he said.

The UN recently released a report stating that the number of civilians killed in Afghanistan has dropped for the first time in six years, but the number of injured has increased.

From John Main OSB, "The Wholeness of God," MOMENT OF CHRIST (New York: Continuum, 1998), p.83-85.
As we all know from our own sad experience we are so easily distracted. God's love is given to each of us freely and generously and universally. God's love flows in our hearts in a mighty stream.
But, like Martha in the gospel story, we are all of us so busy about so many things. We have to learn, and it is absolutely necessary that we do learn it, that only one thing is necessary, because only one thing is. All of us must therefore address our own lack of discipline. We must bring our restless wandering minds to stillness. It is one of the first great lessons in humility we learn, when we realize that we come to wisdom and stillness, and we pass beyond distraction, only through the gift of God. His prayer is his gift to us and all we have to do is to dispose ourselves, and this we can do by becoming silent, to the infinity of God.
It is as though the mystery of God is a wonderful multi-faceted diamond. When we talk or think about God it is as though we are responding to one or another facet, but when we are silent—which is to say, in his presence—we respond to the mystery which we call God as a whole. . . The wonder of it is that it is the whole of us that responds to the entirety of the mystery of God. It is not just our intellect, not just our emotions, not just the "religious" side of us or the "secular" side of us. Everything that we are responds to everything that is. . . That is what the experience of Christian prayer is. [. . . .]
People often ask, "What is the experience of prayer like?" By that they mean, "What happens? What is it like?" It is like silence. And what happens? In the silence—peace. In the silence—presence. And deeper silence. The way into that silence requires great patience, great fidelity and it requires in our tradition of meditation that we learn to say our mantra. As John Cassian said, the mantra contains all the human mind can express and all the human heart can feel. That one little word conveys and leads us into the silence which is the silence of creative energy. How long this takes is of no concern to us. "To the Lord a thousand years are as a day." The only thing that matters is that we are on the way.
After meditation: from THE CLOUD OF UNKNOWING (London: Penguin, 1978), 198-9.
So I say that it is good in due time to give up your intellectual exercises, and to learn to taste something of the love of God in your own spiritual experience. . . .You will without ceasing relax in the naked awareness of your self, ever giving your self up to God as the most precious offering you can make. But make quite sure. . .that it is naked, lest you be deceived. . . .Your faculties must lay aside for a while the natural pleasure they have in knowledge. . . .It is quite certain one cannot taste or experience God spiritually except by grace, . . .Therefore I beg you to seek experience rather than knowledge: knowledge can often lead one astray through pride, whereas humble, loving experience does not lie.

On my 09C (Norwood) car, two were stamped and two were not. All were mounted with dome up. However, whoever applied the sealant did a pretty sloppy job, as it was strung out over the floor pan. Must have been in a hurry.Also, I was in Legends at Nationals last year, and did not lose any points for the two that did not have stamps. The judges can tell, however, if the plugs are original or repros based on the texture.

October 30, 2018
I rarely get to see the flowers I send in the Youngstown area, since I live out of town. But I had flowers sent to a funeral this week and was there to see them. They were stunning. Absolutely beautiful, and really stood out. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and quality. I'll never use another Youngstown area florist.
September 24, 2018
What a wonderful shop! The attention to detail is perfect. The arrangement was beautiful! I definitely recommend Full Circle - and will definitely use their services again!! Jane
August 29, 2018
Absolutely amazing!! The flowers were exactly like the ones on their website. I always love to support small businesses and being from michigan, I am able to support a local Youngstown floral shop. I looked at other local ships that were closer to where I needed the flowers delivered, and they wanted to charge $10 to go less than 2 miles. So, I looked again and I found Full Circle Floral. Not only were the less than others, they did not charge a fee to deliver. I will definitely make sure I chooser Full Circle again!!!

Critics of the idea – usually not people from polarized political areas – like to argue that the Top-Two system does not necessarily render great candidates. As if the current system does.
They are wrong to hastily criticize and they are wrong to say that it does not work, since it has only been tried on a grand scale in California and it's too early to really jump to conclusions on that front.
What is the Top-Two primary? The Republicans and Democrats both hold closed primaries in New York. You need to be a member of one of those parties to vote in the primary. You know the primary election – it's the election for which you probably do not participate.
You know who does? Usually they are passionate, but non-centrist voters. When the general election rolls around, we are stuck with whoever those people have given us.
To put this into perspective, let's look at New York City. In the Democratic mayoral primary in 2013, there were about four Democrats who, at one time or another, had a shot at being elected mayor. Bill de Blasio, Anthony Weiner, Christine Quinn and Bill Thompson were all possibilities.
Republican Joe Lhota may have been a greatly qualified candidate, but he did not resonate with his own party or citywide. In a Top-Two system, all of these candidates – including Lhota – would run in a giant primary. The top two finishers would run against each other.
This means we would most likely see fewer Republicans making it to the general election, but there would also be more moderates. A Top-Two primary may have had Bill Thompson running against Bill de Blasio in the general election.
The point of the Top-Two Primary is to stimulate voter activity, and according to a study by Citizen's Union (an organization that once opposed nonpartisan primaries), it does.
Changing the way we hold primaries will not cure all political problems. But the critics who argue that it will weaken parties are wrong. Parties are already weak.
There are upwards of 700,000 independent voters in New York City alone. That means that almost one million people cannot vote until the general election. One GOP staffer, in defense of the closed primary, once told me that since independents can register in parties, it is their problem if they do not like the choices on Election Day.
He was right about that, but the reality is that we have way too many voters sitting on the sidelines until the general election, where the candidates are not always the most representative of the electorate.
Without taking anything away from Mayor Bill de Blasio's victory in November, the voter turnout in that election was not high at all. This was a major election in the largest city in the country. We cannot be okay with this.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg put this issue on the ballot in 2003 as a referendum, and it was defeated. But it was defeated in an off-year, when there were not many voters coming out because there were not many big races happening.
Good for Senator Schumer for taking what is an uncharacteristic stance for him. After all, Schumer is a party loyalist in what is basically a one-party town. If you're Schumer, why futz with a good thing?
But he is right about the ramifications of a closed primary system. Francis Barry, the former director of Communications for Bloomberg wrote The Scandal of Reform, a book that historically tracks and explains how the closed primary system has kept good people out of politics. Read that book and then decide if you agree with Schumer.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 12, 2009) - A year ago, the ETSU women's golf program reached its highest-ever national ranking. In 2010, the Buccaneers hope to climb even further up that prestigious list of names.
Finishing 47th in the final Golfstat.com rankings in 2009, the ETSU women begin a new campaign this weekend at the Golfweek Conference Challenge at the Primm Valley Resort's Desert Course. The field for this weekend's invitational tournament will be one of the toughest ever for the ETSU women, as the team's that comprise the field are only conference champions from the 2008 season. Teams in the event include UC Irvine, Ohio State and Oklahoma State.
The Bucs appear to have the talent and experience to compete, returning their entire lineup from a year ago. That group includes senior Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia), the 2008 Atlantic Sun Conference individual champion and player of the year, junior Sinead O'Sullivan (Galway, Ireland), a 2009 A-Sun first team pick, sophomore Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria), an all-freshman and second team A-Sun pick, and sophomore Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain), who was also an all-freshman team selection.
Play in the Golfweek Conference Challenge will begin on Sunday, Sept. 13, followed by second and third round play on Monday and Tuesday. Fans can follow the action by visiting ETSUBucs.com to get a full wrap up of the day's action, or by clicking on Golfstat.com for live scoring and statistics

The latest issue of World Journal of Acupuncture-Moxibustion reports another study on acupuncture for menstrual pain.
Dysmenorrhea is a medical term for menstrual pain. Dysmenorrhea is differentiated into primary and secondary. When the doctors can diagnose a condition which causes the period pain, they call it secondary dysmenorrhea. When there is no clear cause for pain, the period pain is called primary dysmenorrhea.
The researchers from Chengzhong People's Hospital researched 66 women suffering from primary dysmenorrhea. They found that all of the patients improved after a few acupuncture sessions. They concluded that acupuncture was effective in alleviating pain in primary dysmenorrhea patients. The results appear in the latest issue of World Journal of Acupuncture-Moxibustion.

Hi all,
This may be a silly question - but if i have downloaded a straight ribbon (for example: http://www.pixelscrapper.com/marisa-lerin/designs/twill-elephant-ribbon-asset-embellishment-cambodia-2011-navy), but i want it to go around a circle picture - can i somehow change its shape so it looks like a circle ribbon? (ie so in the example above the elephants look like they are walking around the photo) Or a star ribbon etc?
Any help appreciated! Thanks
p.s. if this is to vague i can give some examples! Thanks!

A low tire on a center pivot irrigation boom can cause some major headaches for growers. Aside from the cost of a ruined tire or damaged gear box, the down time can cost growers' yield. Valley Irrigation's John Rasmus discusses how the new Valley Tire Pressure Monitoring System can help producers avoid some of those headaches. Rasmus was interviewed at the World Ag Export in Tulare, Calif.

Ford Escape Hybrid Squeaks & Rattles
lal0217 Posts: 1where is the fuse box located on the 2005 ford escape hybrid0
indyseahawk Posts: 1Have the same sound on my 2008 FEH, my guess is it is something coming from the blower motor. My car is out of warranty so i'm planning on just living with it unless someone comes up with a fix!0
I have this same exact sound in my 2008 FEH!! I also live in DC and I just started noticing it in the cold weather. Were you ever able to figure out what it was? I have about 3 months left on the warranty (and about 5K miles). It's really annoying.0
sksuh Posts: 13I'm certain that it's much colder up here in the Rocky Mountains of Canmore, Alberta yet I've never had any squeaky noises from my 2008 FEH.
Despite temperatures as low as -33F this year (even colder in past years), the only creaking or squeaking I hear is from my own aging body.0
kansas4 Posts: 1I have this EXACT problem! 2008 FEH with 25k miles. Did you ever figure out what caused it?0
Well consider yourself lucky then. It's really annoying. I am taking it in to the dealer next week, I will report back what I find out.0
i could use some help... i have a 2007 ford escape hybrid 4whl drive with aprx. 35k miles on it... it is run perfectly until about a month ago... when i put it into reverse there is a loud "clunk" noise coming from the rear of the car... i took it to the ford dealer and they have had the car for about a month...when they disconnected the drive shaft the noise went away.... so they replaced the drive shaft... the noise was still there... then after a lot of dialog with ford hotline assistance they replaced the rear end... (not the axles or cv joints) but the whole rear end.... and the noise is still there... they have now said that there is nothing more that they can do! and that i must wait until they have another escape hybrid 4 whl drive in the shop so that they can compare the cars and see if the noise is present in the other car... but.. they have not been able to locate another car... and the noise does not sound good... it is a loud clunk... and it just started about a month ago... can anyone please help me with this?
p.s. after reading some of the dialogue between the dealer and ford they suspect the PTU? and they also said that if they command the rear end anywhere from 0% to 20% the noise goes away... but if above that the noise is back... and when they command it to 100% then the noise in there both in reverse and in forward....0
here is the dialogue between the ford dealer and the ford hotline...
*Hotline Assistance Request*
*Vehicle: *2007 ESCAPE HYBRID**
*RO Number: *105788**
*Contact ID: *104295570**
*Request Date: *01-13-2011**
*Technician: *andrew g*******
*Request Form Details:*
*Description of vehicle concern:*
thump noise rear on take off in reverse
*Diagnostics performed:*
checked suspension and driveline
*Parts replaced:*
*Tech's question:*
any known concerns? I removed the rear driveshaft and road tested. The noise was gone with driveshaft removed.
*Hotline response:*
With the noise present, recommend swapping a known good driveshaft with the current driveshaft in the vehicle and re-evaluate. If a like vehicle is available, swap the driveshaft out of that vehicle for testing.
If the noise is still present with a known good driveshaft, suspect a possible issue with the ITCC (Intelligent Torque Control Coupling). To verify that the concern is not a PTU issue, with the vehicle on a hoist, command the rear coupling to 100%. Then, with the vehicle running, place the shifter into the drive position and verify that the front wheels are still and that the driveshaft is not spinning. If the driveshaft is spinning, suspect the coupling as the cause of the concern. If the front wheels are spinning but the driveshaft is still, suspect the PTU as the cause of the concern.
If further assistance is required, update this form and resubmit. Thank you.
*Additional Diag/Comments
*Comment from: *technician *Comment Date:* 1/13/2011 5:03:20 PM
Performed test. Commanded coupling to 100%. Front wheels and driveshaft were still with footbrake on. With footbrake off, wheels and driveshaft were spinning. With coupling commanded to 0% and footbrake off, driveshaft was spinning but binding/catching. Any further assistance or comments on findings would be appreciated.
*Comment from: *Hotline *Comment Date:* 1/13/2011 5:07:18 PM
With all four wheels spinning, and the coupler commanded to 100 percent, apply the parking brake. In theory, this should stop all 4 wheels. If it does not, and the rear driveshaft stops spinning, but the front wheels continue to spin, replace the PTU. If further assistance is required, please feel free to call in to discuss. Thank you.
*Comment from: *technician *Comment Date:* 1/20/2011 12:10:17 PM
Im still chasing this one. Ive had chassis ears all over the place. Cant source the noise. If I command the rear coupler from anywhere between 0 and 20% the thump noise goes away. If I go over that the noise returns at all percentages up to 100. At 100 the noise happens forward and reverse. Does this indicate anything in particular or is it normal?
*Comment from: *Hotline *Comment Date:* 1/20/2011 12:17:20 PM
The noise could be normal, but it would be best to verify by comparing to an identical vehicle. If the noise is unacceptable, at this point, it would be recommended to replace the rear axle unit and re evaluate.
*Comment from: *technician *Comment Date:* 1/20/2011 1:02:59 PM
Ive been waiting for another like vehicle to come in but no luck. I tried a V6 4WD that did not make the noise. Thats been the closest I could get. Thanks for the help. I will stay in contact on this one
*Comment from: *Hotline *Comment Date:* 1/20/2011 1:19:53 PM
At this point, if commanding the rear axle percentage up and down seems to influence the noise and the noise is greatest from the rear axle assembly, replace the rear axle unit and re-evaluate the concern after the repair. Thank you.
*Comment from: *technician *Comment Date:* 2/2/2011 11:35:18 AM
*Comment from: *Hotline *Comment Date:* 2/2/2011 11:46:41 AM
Please measure the circumference of all four tires, as they should be within 1/2" of eachother.
Also, Please verify that when the vehicle is on a hoist, the rear axle is commanded to 100%, the parking brake is firmly set and the vehicle is placed in drive that all four wheels remain stationary.
If the driveshaft is spinning and the front wheels are spinning, but the rear wheels are stopped, suspect a rear axle concern. If the front wheels are spinning but the driveshaft is stopped, suspect a concern with the PTU. If all four wheels are stopped, the PTU and the rear axle should be functioning properly.
Please update this form with the information required or call in and have all test information available for review. Thank You.
*Comment from: *technician *Comment Date:* 2/2/2011 6:20:06 PM
all recommended diag has been performed and rear axle unit has been replaced. the concern is still present
*Comment from: *Hotline *Comment Date:* 2/2/2011 6:41:23 PM
Please contact the Technical Hotline by phone to review this concern. Use CONTACTID 104295570 Please have the results of the diagnosis already performed to discuss in greater detail. Thank You.

Noise is not present with drive shaft removed. Noise is present with a different rear shaft.
*1/13/2011 5:24:00 PM - Hotline recommended:*
Command the rear duty to 100% and then road test for the noise. Install chassis ears to the PTU, rear suspension and coupler and then retest for the noise concern.
*2/3/2011 1:49:00 PM - Tech said:*
After further inspection, technician is unable to identify any obvious fault with the system that would account for the noise being produced. Seeking direction on the diagnosis of this vehicle.
*2/3/2011 1:49:00 PM - Hotline recommended:*
If you have a like vehicle available on the lot (an AWD gas model would have the same AWD components), recommend comparing the noise to see if this is a possible characteristic. If you find that the noise is not normal, further inspection of the command and input PIDs will be required. If you have any other questions or if you would like further assistance, please recontact the hotline. Thank you.0
2005_hybrid Posts: 2I own a 2005 Ford Escape hybrid with 125,500 miles, and I have a ticking sound that seems to come from the left front wheel every revolution. I've had Tread Quarters look for the noise twice, and a Ford dealer look for it once, but no one can seem to find the origin of it.
Does anyone know what is causing this ticking?
By the way, I've had real :shades: good luck with my 2005 Ford Escape hybrid. Hopefully it will last to 300,000 miles like those used for NYC taxis:-)0
robwww Posts: 1Hello,
I have a similar sounding chirp / squeak in the front passenger side of my 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid. It seems like it is coming from the a/c system that is under the dash on the front passenger seat.
Is this the area where your chirp sound was coming from? I have taken the car to my dealer but they always say they cannot identify the sound. Can you help explain your straw solution further for me? This sound is very annoying and irritating. Thank you very much.
joseph85750 Posts: 22My chrip/squeak sound ended up being the motor responsible for cooling the battery compartment, I think. The sound did not originate from under any particular seat. Rather, it was in the engine compartment. It would occur when the clutch would engage to power the cooling system for the battery compartment.
I'm not sure if it's really a serious thing though. I had mine fixed, and about a year later it started doing it again.0
alektron Posts: 3Does anyone know what is the loud, humming motorized sound when you unlock the door? It happens only the first time that you unlock. It lasts around 5 seconds. It has been happening to my FEH 2006 for a long time, and nothing weird happens after that.0
"Does anyone know what is the loud, humming motorized sound when you unlock the door? It happens only the first time that you unlock. It lasts around 5 seconds. It has been happening to my FEH 2006 for a long time, and nothing weird happens after that. "
It is the brake system charging up. The sound is normal for pre-2009 models.0
Just bought 2008 base FEH. It feels as if it runs fine, but sounds like an airplane taking off when accelerating. Is this normal? Blowing/whooshing is constant no matter what speed. Thanks for any help, and thanks for this forum.0

I have more options on mine, but all the 2008 FEH have the same mechanical components. Mine does not sound like that. Maybe you have some kind of air leak in the engine? Try having someone gun the engine while you listen with the hood up.
I suggest taking it to Ford for repairs BTW; these hybrids really need specific expertise.0
Thank you. I did not think it should sound like that. I bought from a reputable dealer and bought the soup-to-nuts warranty so should be ok.0
I have bought the extended warranty on my last two cars as well. So far I have paid for the cost in covered repairs. Modern cars, but especially hybrids, just have too many components that can fail.
I hope your warranty is an ESP plan from Ford?0

Linda Take 2
Added Nov 3, 2009
by candyjoyce
Southampton, Uni...
I finally dragged the boy to our new IKEA store and as well as some delicious meatballs and some uneccessary homeware tat i also picked up this awesome printed fabric.
I decided to make the Linda again cos it is such a simple pattern that creates a really swooshy cool skirt. I didn't line this one so it literally took about an hour from start to finish.
I put an in seam pocket in this one and also made the waistband about 2cm taller.
It doesn't have quite as much movement as the green version as the IKEA fabric is slightly thick and stiff ( I REALLY wish IKEA would sell all their awesome prints on normal cotton fabric instead of the thicker upholstery type fabric)

IKEA print, zip, button

ooo I love that print!
Nov 3, 2009, 08.47 PMby pixelink
nice indeed, the print looks wonderful with the skirt design.
Nov 3, 2009, 07.05 PMby ginasophia
very nice, I am in great envy! and I completely second the idea of using clothing fabrics with those prints at IKEA! I have yards of this purple fabric from there sitting in wait that I realized won't make a fabulous dress after all..
Nov 3, 2009, 02.45 PMby luzie
wow, I love your skirt! I think I have to go to Ikea soon… the fabric is great! :-)
Nov 3, 2009, 02.22 PMby sewneenee
I love your new skirt. I'll have to ck out that pattern too! I only wish Ikea was closer to me, we have about a 2 hr drive so I don't get there as much as I'd like. Maybe better on the checkbook though!

hey, thanks for your comment.
They just built an IKEA in Southampton where I live. It's a massive blue and ugly building that blocks out the sun(!) but the Fabric inside makes it all worthwhile.
It's all at good prices too.

White Papers and Application Notes
Electromagnetic Wave Analysis of Wave And Shielded StriplineS. Singh[1], A. Marwaha[1]
[1]Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering Technology Longowal, Punjab, India
Electromagnetic wave analysis of waveguide has been done in this paper with the help of Finite Element Method (FEM) based COMSOL Multiphysics. The design is further extended by placing conductor on a dielectric slab included in the waveguide to form a shielded microstrip transmission line. The simulated models are analyzed to determine the wave propagation characteristics. The validation is done by evaluating the critical frequency, propagation constant and transversal field distribution of modes at given phase constant ? and angular frequency ?.

Lee Ann Womack Parts Ways With Universal Music Group
Lee Ann Womack is apparently looking for a new home after several years and several albums with long-time label Universal Music Group's MCA Nashville division, according to Country Weekly.
"[I'm] so appreciative to the wonderful MCA staff for giving me their all from my first days at Decca, through 'I Hope You Dance,' the awards for 'I May Hate Myself In The Morning' and 'There's More Where That Came From'," Womack said in a statement. "I am excited to see what comes next for so many people I think of as my friends, and am eager to see what life after 'leaving home' is like."
Womack was first signed to Decca Records Nashville when she moved to Music City, later hopping over to Universal Music Group's MCA Records, where she cranked out five studio albums and many hit singles, including 'I'll Think of a Reason Later,' 'A Little Past Little Rock,' her multi-week No. 1 'I Hope You Dance,' 'I May Hate Myself in the Morning' and most recently, 'Last Call.'
It seems like many changes have been happening at Nashville's various label rosters in recent weeks. Just last month, Josh Thompson went his own way, leaving RCA Records behind. That was just after Kellie Pickler's departure from BNA Nashville in June — the same month that Ronnie Dunn turned his back on Sony Music.
No word yet on Lee Ann Womack's next move, but all of us at Taste of Country wish nothing but the best for her future in country music.

Grawemeyer Award winner Dr. Leila Ahmed to address the resurgence of the hijab among contemporary Muslim women
Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary will host Grawemeyer Award winner Dr. Leila Ahmed and Dr. Stephen Prothero during Engagement Week 2013, a rich consortium of this year's Festival of Theology, alumni reunion and Grawemeyer lecture. Engagement Week is Monday through Wednesday, April 8-10 on the Seminary's campus. The 2013 Festival Preacher is Rev. Dr. Cynthia Campbell, former president of McCormack Seminary and current senior minister of Highland Presbyterian Church in Louisville.
This year, Seminary alumni and other Engagement Week participants will enjoy a variety of thought-provoking activities on campus. The lectures by Dr. Prothero and Dr. Ahmed address topics related to the changing religious landscape in the United States, which is now the most religiously diverse nation in the world. The alumni reunion will include opportunities for former students to attend Seminary classes, enjoy fellowship, worship together and reacquaint themselves with friends and former classmates.
All Engagement Week activities will focus on religious pluralism, a particularly timely theme for the Seminary, which recently introduced its Doors to Dialogue (D2D) program. Doors to Dialogue is an initiative that prepares graduates for ministry and leadership in intra-Christian, interfaith and multi-cultural settings.
Excitement on campus and throughout the community is building in anticipation of this year's lectures. Dr. Leila Ahmed, a prestigious Egyptian-American scholar and expert on Muslim feminism, is the Victor S. Thomas Professor of Divinity at Harvard Divinity School. Ahmed is best known for her groundbreaking work on the historical and social status of women in Muslim communities. She'll speak about her Grawemeyer Award-winning book, A Quiet Revolution: The Veil's Resurgence, from the Middle East to America, specifically the reappearance of the hijab, or veil, among modern-day Muslim women. Ahmed's lecture will take place on Wednesday, April 10, at 7 p.m.
"In her groundbreaking book, A Quiet Revolution, Ahmed offers a nuanced account of the many reasons why some Muslim women wear hijab. She persuasively argues that for contemporary Muslim-American women, the decision to wear the veil can be a statement of support for social justice and for justice for women," said Shannon Craigo-Snell, faculty director for the Grawemeyer Award in Religion and professor of Theology at Louisville Seminary. "Her timely work illuminates how the meanings of religious acts and symbols develop within particular contexts. A Quiet Revolution is a powerful book that explores the current moment of creative possibility among Muslim-Americans."
On Tuesday, April 9, Dr. Stephen Prothero will offer two lectures. A professor of Religion at Boston University, Prothero has degrees from both Harvard and Yale. He has appeared on numerous national television programs to comment on the importance of understanding religious difference. (Click here for video of Prothero's discussion with Stephen Colbert.) He has also been a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe and other noteworthy publications.
"We are very excited to welcome Dr. Prothero to campus this year. Through his books and lectures he has made an incredible contribution to helping people understand the new religious landscape where our students will serve as church leaders," said David C. Hester, professor and director of Continuing Education at Louisville Seminary. "Today's Christian congregations have Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Jewish neighbors. To listen generously and participate with one another in activities that serve the common good in our world, we need the wisdom of scholars like Stephen Prothero to help us compare and contrast our religious traditions."
Prothero's lectures are supported by two annual, endowed lectureships—the Frank H. Caldwell and the Theodore M. Greenhoe lectures. All lectures are free and open to the public, and will be presented in the Frank H. and Fannie W. Caldwell Chapel at Louisville Seminary. Click here for a detailed schedule and online registration.
About 'Covenant for the Future,' Louisville Seminary's strategic plan
Louisville Seminary's 'Covenant for the Future' seeks to eliminate seminary tuition debt, which is a persistent problem among seminary graduates across the nation. Because they will not be burdened by seminary debt, our graduates will be free to go wherever God calls them when they graduate. They may be called to lead a congregation, to develop a new church, to establish a nontraditional worshiping community, to serve as a marriage and family therapist or a hospital chaplain or to create an as-yet-unimagined position as servant and leader for the world.
About Louisville Seminary
Founded in 1853, Louisville Seminary offers an inclusive and diverse learning community, welcoming students from wide ecumenical backgrounds while maintaining its long, historic commitment to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A). Louisville Seminary is committed to building bridges across the world's religious, racial and cultural divides. It is distinguished by its nationally-recognized marriage and family therapy and field education programs, the scholarship and church service among its faculty and a commitment to training women and men to participate in the continuing ministry of Jesus Christ.
