text: It's because our school system really sucks in many ways. Kids get from one grade to another with very little effort and only the determined and very conscienitious ones have really something to show for. In other words, I believe that it takes better schooling and better motivation on the kids part to show some good results. Mind you, a lot of kids with poor writing skills end up being successful scientists, artists, musicians, trade workers, etc. Spelling things right is very important but with certain professions you don't have to be a national spelling bee champion to be successful!Originally Posted by Sanja

Johnny Cash's daughter Tara Cash Schwoebel is set to release a book based on questions she asked her famous father about his childhood and personal life.
In 1995, Schwoebel gave the Ring of Fire hitmaker a blank book entitled, "Dad, Share Your Life With Me", and requested he fill it with his favorite childhood memories.
Cash spent a year filling out the pages, and returned it to his daughter on her birthday in 1996. She has now turned his tome into a new book called Recollections by J.R. Cash: Childhood Memories of Johnny Cash.
In a message posted on the book's website, Schwoebel writes, "I have held this book close to my heart for all these years. With no hesitation, knowing that Dad would be proud to share these stories, I now want to share it with his fans, friends, and family to cherish, as I do. I hope you will enjoy getting to know this boy, who became my father, as much as I did. I give that boy, and that father, all the love and respect in the world."
The book also features personal family photos and Cash's own handwriting. The release will coincide with the 1 September (14) reopening of her father's boyhood home in Arkansas which has been turned into a museum.

The War of 1812: Which One Was That?
According to BackStory:
"200 years ago this week, the U.S. declared war for the first time in its history. Today, few people remember who we were fighting, much less what we were fighting for. If you do remember anything about the War of 1812, it's probably something from the back of a high school history flashcard, like the burning of the White House or the Battle of New Orleans.
But despite its status as a forgotten war, the War of 1812 was hugely influential in shaping the nation we live in today. And so in this hour of BackStory, we go beyond the trivia, and explore some of the war's deeper legacies. We look at why the war loomed so large in novels & poems of the post-war years, how the war re-defined government policies towards Native Americans, and why the war nearly led to a Civil War within the U.S. Through it all, we set out to answer the most fundamental questions about the War of 1812: What did we win, what did we lose, and why should we care?"

Derby passes new blight ordinance
DERBY -- After months of work, the Board of Aldermen passed a new blight ordinance Thursday night that sets time frames for notices, appeals and repairs. The ordinance also imposes a $99 penalty for each day that a cited structure is in violation.
The Aldermen also voted to place 13 structures on the blight list. And they approved the creation of a five-member panel appointed by the mayor to handle appeals of the building official's decisions. This board will hear challenges of blight findings as well as requirements involving new construction or repairs.
The blight ordinance passed 6-1, with the dissenting vote cast by Board of Aldermen President Barbara DeGennaro. She said she agreed with the ordinance's aim, but felt if needed to more clearly define its terms -- including just what constitutes a "hazardous structure."
"I'm not opposed to it," DeGennaro said. "It's something that needs to be done. It just needs to be clearer."
All this comes at a time when Derby and neighboring Ansonia are attempting to require renovation or demolition of hundreds of dilapidated, abandoned or neglected multifamily home. Most of the homes are near the downtown areas and were built in the 1900s to provide apartments for the thousands of workers in nearby factories.
Ansonia's Board of Aldermen recently approved new blight ordinances. John Marini, that city's corporation counsel, will hold a public seminar on the new requirements in the Ansonia aldermanic chambers in City Hall on May 6 at 7 p.m.
The new Derby rules deem any building with inadequate maintenance, neglected through abandonment or displaying sanitary or safety concerns that are dangerous to life or property, to be a blighted structure.
That determination is to be made following an inspection by the city's building official. The official is required to give written notice to the owner, mortgage holder or agent. The owner can then request a hearing and attempt to explain why the structure does not need to be repaired or demolished.
Following the hearing, a written order is to be made within 25 days.
From then, the owner has 20 days in which to pay $25 and challenge the findings before the soon-to-be empaneled building board of appeals.
If not satisfied with the appeals board's ruling, a property owner could file a challenge within seven days with the state building code standard committee. Owners can further challenge the findings in Superior Court.
If the appeals are rejected, the city's building official can order that the structure be repaired or demolished and bill the owner for the costs in the form of a municipal lien on land records.
Additionally, the city can impose a $99 daily penalty on structures in violation of this ordinance.

In just a few days, we will begin what has become one of our favorite traditions since the High Line opened as a public park. Spring Cutback – it's a six-week operation that involves hundreds of hours of hard work to trim back the park's 100,000 plants to make way for the new growing season.
Spring Cutback is the biggest horticultural undertaking of the year – one that took us more than 1,200 hours to complete last year. With the recent opening of the new section of the High Line, this will be the first spring where we have one mile of parkland to prepare for spring. We can't do it alone, so we have recruited more than 300 members, supporters, neighbors, and friends from our community to help us complete this monumental task.
The volunteers recently completed their orientation session, where they were introduced to the unique challenges of maintaining a park in the sky. Follow us after the jump for a recap.
To get started, volunteers joined us at Hudson Guild, our local community center, for their orientation sessions. The volunteers will be working side-by-side with High Line Gardeners during March and April.
Working on the High Line, an elevated garden with narrow pathways, shallow planting beds, and public interaction means that even avid home gardeners have a thing or two to learn to prepare themselves. With this in mind, High Line Gardeners led orientation sessions that offered general information on the High Line and the history of Spring Cutback, and answers to key visitor questions.
Then, heading outdoors, our gardeners demonstrated how to safely work with our tools before unleashing volunteers to try a hand at trimming back plant material with our shears and pruners. Working together, as seen in these photos, volunteers in our February 15 orientation session cleared the planting bed at West 17th Street. Right away, the green shoots of emerging spring bulbs could be seen.
Thanks again to all the volunteers that are helping us with Spring Cutback!

And as for discomfort, there is anti-romantic discomfort as well, and both genders are equally responsible for that, specifically many religions make me very uncomfortable with that, saying I am going to hades because I refuse to date and refuse to get married. And they say that aromance is evil
I, too, hold a general discomfort with romance. The difference between us, I think, is that I recognize this disposition to be a psychological defect--perhaps even a pathology--and I strive to purge myself of it.

Very true. But in nature there's also indiscriminate murder, rape, theft, you name it. Nature is the grounds on which we can explain why crime naturally occurs and humans are instinctively drawn to do certain things. But I like to think that we homo sapiens have evolved extensively enough to sort of transcend our basic primal natures and rise to something higher.

Reports: Casey Anthony offered money to fight Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee
ORLANDO, Fla. —
The many looks of Casey Anthony:
Was Casey Anthony offered $20,000 to fight in a celebrity boxing match?
Media outlets including Radar Online report that Anthony was offered a fight with Jesse James' ex-mistress Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.
Anthony would reportedly be offered $10,000 for the fight, with another $10,000 going to a charity of her choice.
McGee has a history in the boxing ring, while Anthony does not.
The fight would reportedly happen in Fort Lauderdale in November.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate Banking Committee will hold a confirmation hearing on June 27 for President Barack Obama's two nominees to serve on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the committee announced on Thursday.
Kara Stein, a Democrat, and Michael Piwowar, a Republican, would replace SEC commissioners Elisse Walter and Troy Paredes, respectively.
Stein is currently an aide to Senator Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat and a senior member of the banking panel. Piwowar is chief economist for the committee, working under the panel's ranking Republican, Mike Crapo, of Idaho.
Stein and Piwowar are expected to have fairly speedy confirmations by the U.S. Senate, and neither is considered controversial.
They would join the SEC at a critical time. The agency is under the leadership of a new chair, former federal prosecutor Mary Jo White.
This week, White said the SEC would make major changes to its settlement policy by trying to require defendants in some select cases to admit wrongdoing. That is a departure from past practice, in which the SEC has routinely in most cases allowed defendants to neither admit nor deny charges.
The change comes on the heels of criticism from some federal judges who have denied or challenged settlements on the grounds they are too weak. But defense lawyers are warning the new policy may hinder the SEC's ability to reach settlements.
All settlements must be approved by the majority of the SEC's five commissioners, meaning Stein and Piwowar's votes could be crucial.
In addition, the SEC is facing a major backlog of rulemaking that needs to be completed under the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law, and it is under pressure to complete rules required by a 2012 law that eases securities regulations to help small businesses raise capital.
Separately, the SEC is mulling a controversial proposal to impose new regulations on money market mutual funds.

Yet another begginners board question, but slightly different.
Total novice here! Im 6ft 4, 95kgs reasonable balance (can stand up onskis, skateboard etc)
I have had 2 lessons in the past using a BIC board - dont know the size but quite wide and was able to stay on my feet - but lots of falling off!
However I the bought an old HI Fly superfun 330 with a 5 m sail which I find totally imposible to use. I can just about stand up and somtimes pull up the sail but the fall straight off.
Is it just me being incompetant? or should I change boards for a more modern begginner outfit?
If so what one/size is best for me.
Ps I live near Southend UK for anyone who knows the conditions.

At 95 Kg, in any sort or rough or choppy water the best board to learn on would be a Start Large.
It is by far the most stable.
But, it usually only takes a few sessions on the Start Large (100 cm 39.3" wide) for new sailors to
develop the techniques to be able to sail a much narrower board.
So, some of your issue is the narrow HiFly board, and some of is you haven't learned to correct uphauling and where to stand techniques yet.
You can make it much easier and pick up a used Start Large (this will become a great board for early planing once your skills improve (with large sails of course).
Or you can carry on with the HiFly and give your self some time to learn the board.
Wish you were here in the USA as I love to work with new sailors with exactly this sort of issue.
It almost always ends up being a "how to you uphaul and get under way sequencing issue with
a good bit of incorrect foot placement.
Have you been taught to sheet the sail in and add power AFTER you have both feet behind the mast foot.... or before you have your front foot behind the mast foot? This is usually the biggest issue.
You have very poor balance if your front foot stays in front of the mast foot when you are getting underway. If you do not add any power until after you have both feet behind the mast foot and are balanced over the fore/aft centerline of the board you don't fall in as much.
Also the manner in which you add the power of the sail can be very upsetting to your carefully acheved
balance. Try sheeting in with one finger on you back hand on the boom. This will get the board moving, and a board that's moving is much more stable than a board that's stationary.
Add the power of the sail very slowly and gently. This is not a full hand strength thing.

Beginners Boards
Roger (and Chrystal)
I have just got back from Fuerteventura where I signed up for a course. In fact I went to Fuerte rather than anywhere else because of its reputation as a windsurfing centre par excellence.
I have to confess I was a bit disappointed with the degree of supervision (pretty near zero to begin with) and the venue (an extremely rocky tidal pool) but maybe they aren't equipped for the older beginner.
I thought I was pretty fit but I have to admit that I'm heavy (160 pounds - more when wet!) and I found it really hard to push the sail forward to initiate a downwind turn without submerging the front of the board.
At one point the instructor, seeing my difficulty, stepped the mast forward, but that had no effect on not submerging the front end.
I was pretty sore at the end of day 2 (day 1 had been theory) so I didn't manage day 3.
I felt that I needed a bigger, more stable board and a longer length in front to add buoyancy to that end.
Now I appreciate I'm a complete beginner who knows less than nothing but I AM enthusiastic and I'm pretty determined so I'm not giving up.
I have good balance; I cycle and I ski. I ride horses. I scuba. I really want to get into this because when I got the board moving I really enjoyed. I'm not posting to complain; rather to seek suggestions as to where I go from here.

And I was told to keep my front foot in front of the mast at all times.
Mind you I don't see how I could have done anything else because the mast wasn't happy about going forward far enough even then!

Hi Crafty Fox,
160 lbs. is not HEAVY!..... in fact it's very light for an adult male windsurfer.
The average is normally around 180 lbs-185 lbs. (81-84 Kg.)
So, the issue is not your weight.
What board did they put you on?
I would have to say that their technique is realy not good.
If you need to get the nose of the board downwind, to get underway, that is something you
do with sail angle....not tipping the rig forward.
As far as your front foot, yes, you need to have it in front of the mast foot, but ONLY when you are in the process of uphauling.
Once the sail is uphauled and and you mast is held in your front hand, you need to get your front froot behind the mast foot BEFORE you even put your back hand on the boom to begin to sheet in.
Try bringing the mast across the board in front of your front shoulder (AFTER you have moved your front foot behind the mast foot) until it balances on the mast foot.
THEN sheet in very slowly and gently.
Your board will move off nicely straight across the wind if you pay attention to your "T" position alignnment.
You CANNOT really sail a windsurfer very successfully with your front foot IN FRONT of the mast foot.
You front leg and the mast will always be vying for the same space.
Move your front foot back BEFORE you even think about adding any power to the sail.

Let me say first of all that I got my weight wrong. I wish I was 160 pounds and if there were 10 pounds to a stone I would be! In fact I'm 16 stones which is 224 pounds. Good job I'm a lawyer not an accountant!
I've no idea what board I was put on but if it helps it was made of a "squidgy" material. It was very stable in fact and I could manage to turn it around without any problem.
No one ever suggested I should move my front foot backwards on the board to behind the mast area, so that would explain the front's tendency to dip I guess.
What do you mean by sail angle? I was told specifically to move the whole rig forward - obviously the mast remains on the deck - in order to initiate a turn away from the wind, and that must necessarily involve tipping the whole lot forward. The sail at that point is depowered and I had hold of the mast or the uphaul with my front hand and my back hand doing nothing whatever except get ready to get hold of the boom ready to sheet in, but once I did that I turned into the wind again.
What is the T position alignment?
I'm afraid none of that was explained.

Hi crafty,
OK 16 stone...this makes quite a difference and explains some of the issues you are having!
OK we'll go through the whole sequence:
1/ Place your feet with your arches directly over the fore and aft centerline of the board.
The front foot goes slightly (due to your weight) in front of the mast foot (place the mast foot in the
middle or behind the middle please to keep your mass over the widest and most buoyant area of the board).
The rear foot goes somewhere behind the mast foot... about a shoulders width behind the front foot.
At 16 stone, you will need to manage the fore and aft balance of the board as much or more than the side to side (rail to rail) balance.
Your back needs to be directly toward the wind with your board lying directly accross the wind with the mast down wind and perpendicular to the boards fore/aft centerline.
2/ When you have your feet placed correctly and you can stand up straight, with one hand on the
uphaul line (rig lying in the water downwind of the board).
Pull the rig so the mast is perpendicular "T" to the board.
Squat down and move your hand further out the uphaul.
3/ Slowly stand up from the squatting positon and bring the mast out of the water.
Continure to bring the mast up out of the water until you can grasp the mast (below the boom) with your
new front hand (the hand that will be nearest the front of the board).
4/ Hold the mast directly in front of your body with the end of the boom straight out (T position alignment again). If the board begins to turn nose into the wind, lean the sail towards the rear to stop the turning and return the board to directly across the wind (T positon).
If the board begins to turn nose downwind, lean the mast toeards the front of the board to return it to the
perpendicular "T" position.
5/ Move your rear foot a bit further behind the mast so that your rear foot is about a full shoulder width behind the mast.
Bring your front foot from ahead of the mast to just behind the mast.
6/ Position your front foot about 4-6" off center of the fore/aft centerline and slightly behind the mast foot
with your toes pointing forward toward the front of the board.
Place your rear foot so you heel is on the boards fore/aft centerline with the toes pointing about 45 deg. foreward of straight across the board.
Feet need to be about the width of your shoulders apart.;
This will put your center of mass directly over the boards fore and aft center of buoyancy.
Ok, now you almost in sailing position..... check your alignment to the wind and the "T" position.
If you are not standing steady, with both feet behind the mast foot, with the end of the boom pointing straight down wind and perpendicular ("T" position) to the F/A centerline of the board, you need to correct your alignment!
If the board has turned upwind, this means you brought the mast back as you stepped back. Lean the mast/sai forward slightly and the board will correct back to the "T" positon.
If your board has turned downwind, this means you have allowed the mast to fall toward the front of your boars some. Correct this by leaning the righ slightly to the rear.
7/ Now bring your front hand (holding the mast under the head of the boom) across in front of your front shoulder.
Try to bring it across to the point that the rig balances on the mast foot. You can check this by letting go of the mast momentarily. If the rig tends to fall back toward downwind (leeward side) you haven't brought it far enough across to the balance point.
If the rig wants to fall towards the upwind side, you have brought it too far upwund....correct for this until your rig "balances" on the mast foot.
Again...RESIST ALL TEMPTATION TO TOUCH THE BOOM WITH EITHER HAND.
8/ Now you are ready to place one or two fingers of your back hand on the boom. about a soulders width
behind the mast and right in front of your rear shoulder.
9/ Move your front hand from the mast up onto the boom very near the juncture of the mast and the boom.
You still have not moved even one inch (perhaps a slight drift downwind, but no movement forward or back.
Your board is still pointing directly across the wind (the easiest point of sail).
10/ Now rotate your upper body (from the hips) a few degrees so the sail begins to develop some pressure. Rotate the back shoulder inboard and upwind slightly and the front shoulderoutboard and downwind slightly.
Your board will start to sail off directly across the wind.
If you wish to sail a little more upwind, move the end of the boom down slightly toward the water to incline your rig slightly to the rear.
If you wish to sail more downwind, extend your front arm slightly to move the end of the boom up and the right slightly forward.
You can see the various positons and alignments on this US Sailing instructional website:
You need to look at:
Basic Position
Sailing Position.
P.S. At no time do you step forward or radically rake the rig forward.
It takes a little time for the board to turn to the correct alignment (T Position again) but the
alignment is critical to learning to windsurf at the basic level easily without alot of drama.

I have to say that the course I took in Fuerteventura (Spanish Canaries btw; don't blame the Italians) did not make any of this clear. I got as far as sailing along with one hand on the mast and the other hanging free but when I tried to power up the sail from my position (one foot in front of mast) down went the front of the board. Now I think I understand the reason. I think I need a couple of days at Poole!

Hi craftyfox,
Sorry I goofed on the location.
Give the US Windsurfing photo instruction a try.
It's not exactly what I teach, but very close.
Try to remember and get ALL the steps in sequence.
It's alot easier to back up one step and then go forward than to fall in the
water and have to start all over.
Try to find a big wide board for at least your first few sessions.
I had absolute beginners out on Saturday in 20 knots + (not fun) and they fell in a few times
but did actually sail a way on their own.
Yesterday we had light winds and they were all sailing all over the place.
Lot's of fun!

There Are 12 Kinds of Ads in the World
Resist them all!
Seth Stevenson was online on July 26 to chat with readers about this article. Read the transcript.
After much research, Gunn determined that nearly all good ads fall into one of 12 categories—or "master formats," in his words. At last year's Clio Awards, I saw Gunn give a lecture about these formats (using ads mostly from the '70s and '80s as examples), and I was fascinated by his theory. I soon found myself categorizing every ad I saw on TV. It was a revelation: The curtain had been pulled back on all those sly sales tactics at the heart of persuasive advertising.
This slide show presents some recent ads exemplifying each of Gunn's 12 basic categories. With a little practice, you, too, will be ticking off the master formats during commercial breaks.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Coming off its first NCAA tournament berth since 1946 and its second straight Ivy League title, the Harvard men's basketball team will play 14 home games and will have several games broadcast nationally.
"We are excited to announce another terrific schedule this season," said Harvard head coach Tommy Amaker.
"In addition to the always competitive Ivy League slate, we look forward to once again playing one of the strongest non-conference schedules in Harvard history. We look forward to getting our new season underway and are excited by the challenges it presents."
Under the leadership of Amaker, who is entering his sixth season as the head coach of the Crimson, Harvard returns 14 players from last season's squad that finished 26-5 overall and went 12-2 in the Ivy League. The Crimson also earned its first national ranking in program history, reaching as high as No. 21 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll and captured the crown at the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament.
Harvard will open its 102nd season of men's basketball by hosting MIT at Lavietes Pavilion Nov. 9. The Crimson will then appear on ESPN as part of the network's College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon Schedule when the team takes on Massachusetts Nov. 13 at 10 a.m.
After hosting Manhattan Nov. 16, Harvard vists Saint Joseph's Nov. 20, before playing back-to-back home games against Vermont (Nov. 27) and Fordham (Dec. 1). The Crimson then plays at Boston College Dec. 4, as the team is looking for its fifth straight win over the Eagles. Harvard remains on the road at Connecticut Dec. 7, before welcoming Boston University (Dec. 11) and Holy Cross (Dec. 22) to Lavietes Pavilion before the holiday break.
The Crimson closes out the 2012 calendar year by traveling west to face California (Dec. 29) and St. Mary's (Dec. 31). The game against the Gaels will be shown nationally on ESPN2. Harvard returns to Cambridge to host Rice Jan. 5 before starting conference play at Dartmouth Jan. 12.
On Jan. 19, Harvard travels to face Memphis in another nationally televised game on FSN. Following the final non-conference game of the regular season, the Crimson hosts Dartmouth (Jan. 26), Yale (Feb. 1) and Brown (Feb. 2)
Coach Amaker and Harvard visit Cornell (Feb 8) and Columbia (Feb. 9), before playing home games against Penn (Feb. 15) and Princeton (Feb. 16).
Harvard then heads on the road for four straight, facing Brown (Feb. 22), Yale (Feb. 23), Princeton (March 1) on ESPNU and Penn (March 2). On the final weekend of the regular season, the Crimson hosts Columbia (March 8) and Cornell (March 9). The game against the Big Red will serve as Senior Day.

Why "like" it when you can "love" it!
Social Media networks, like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, are constantly adding cool new features and updating existing ones all to improve the user experience and enhance engagement. We believe it's good to change things up.
So what's next?
Now you can do more than just react to an entire Facebook post.
According to Today Tech, Facebook has brought its emoji reaction tool to comments, so you can now show someone how you feel about their comments with a simple swipe of the thumb.
Simply hover your cursor over the "like" button and react away. Did that person's post make you angry? Happy? Laugh? Let them know how you feel about their remarks.
Did you know the "love" reaction is the most popular emoji since its launch? Keep spreading the "love", folks!
In March, the site brought the feature to Facebook Messenger and last year, reactions alone were introduced for the first time to posts.
Facebook continued to do more with reactions as they proved to be a big hit.
By the end of February of this year, reactions had been used more than 300 billion times, Social Samosa reports.
New 'Reaction' Emojis To Reply To Comments On Facebook
According to TechRadar, Facebook has brought its emoji reaction tool to comments. you can now show someone how you feel about their comment with a simple swipe of the thumb. Originally Facebook only allowed you to add 'Reactions' to posts but in March it brought the feature to Facebook Messenger, and now you can add little happy or furious faces to comments that people have posted too.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Earthquakes midfielder Sam Cronin visited LUCHA Elementary in San Jose on Wednesday in the 16th Amway Kicks for Kids event of 2011. In its third year of existence, Amway Kicks for Kids teaches local youth about the importance of a healthy diet and an active lifestyle.
The day began when Kristin Burt, the elementary school principal, introduced Cronin to the third, fourth and fifth graders in attendance. The group of 125 kids from the school welcomed him with chants and cheers.
PHOTO GALLERY: Photos from Cronin's visit to LUCHA Elementary
VIDEO: See more from Sam's visit.
The North Carolina native spoke to the children about his journey to becoming a professional athlete. He told them that he started playing soccer when he was about five years old and looked up to his three older brothers who played sports. He played soccer all the way through college and he attended Wake Forest University. Throughout the story, he stressed how important it is to lead a healthy lifestyle and stay in school.
During the question-and-answer session, Cronin chatted with the kids about healthy food and beverage choices as well as staying active and getting plenty of sleep.
To conclude the afternoon, Cronin signed player cards and Earthquakes staff handed out 125 replica jersey t-shirts and tickets, courtesy of Amway, to the students for San Jose's 16th home game of the season on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. PT at Buck Shaw Stadium against Sporting Kansas City.
The Earthquakes and Amway teamed up to create Amway Kicks for Kids in 2009. The program is in its third season in 2011. Through Amway Kicks for Kids, Earthquakes players will visit 17 schools or community centers in the Bay Area to discuss the importance of being active and living a healthy lifestyle.

As a lifelong lover of puzzles; I would like to suggest who would like Fabulous Fun With Puzzles book. Generally, it is a basic puzzle book giving a brief selection of popular types of puzzles. Anyone who has spent time with puzzles, will be familiar with many of the 400 puzzles in this book; as many of them have appeared in many books. I had never come across the two books by Leeming, even though I have somewhere around 600 "puzzle books"; nor have I even come across his name. Maybe they pretty much disappeared by the time I got interested in puzzles, sometime around 1950. I don't think Leeming created many of these puzzles, as most of them are really classics. There is a good variety of puzzles included; 54 Word and Letter Puzzles 40 Matchstick Puzzles 94 Brain Twisters eg. How did this happen? There was a wedding one day recently that had the following results. The father of a young woman became her husband's brother-in- law, and her husband's sister became her stepmother. How come? Ans. The young woman's father married the sister of the man to whom his daughter was married. 38 Number Puzzles and Magic Squares 19 Coin Puzzles 15 Anagram Puzzles 29 Paper and Paper Puzzles 24 Teaser Puzzles 72 Mathematical Puzzles 23 Cut-Out Puzzles-- Construction, Put- Together, Tangrams, Etc. So, the book has a bit of everything. It would be excellent for anyone, of any age, who is relatively new to puzzle books; but pretty much well known puzzles to anyone who has been much of a fan of them. Definitely, excellent for beginners, but not much new for "old hands". "It is one of man's curious idiosyncrasies to create difficulties for the pleasure of resolving them.' ----Joseph de Maistre, Political Philosopher 1753-1821 You can get this book at Puzzle Master

There's many ways to sell stuff online, but if you've decided you want to sell stuff directly from your own site, you've still got to figure out how exactly to do that. You could run a dedicated eCommerce platform on your site, or perhaps add it with a plugin like WooCommerce. The simplest way, though, is with a hosted shopping cart service.
In this roundup I'm going to look at three of the best hosted shopping carts available: eJunkie, AmberCart and Cashie Commerce. Each one has its own pro's and con's, and hopefully though this article you'll be able to find the one that is right for you. Let's dig in.

As Inhabitat's fashion editor, I spend a lot of time (yes, a tad bit little longer than is required for my job) perusing through seriously crave-worthy fashions, from the frilly and ethereal, to the haunting and hardcore. That being said, looking at all of these beautiful clothes can be very bittersweet when you're working with a less than rockstar budget. In fact, one of the biggest complaints I hear about ethical and eco-conscious fashion is that it is just too expensive! I definitely acknowledge the fact that buying a lot of these labels is not cheap, but you have to admit that it makes sense that clothing using the latest and most innovative fabrics and paying fair wages to local people would be more pricey. I try my best to save up and buy my favorite eco-chic pieces when they go on sale to support the cause, but who says you need to spend big bucks to rock a look that is both green and cutting edge? Here are 5 easy and supercheap ways to green your wardrobe by using your noggin instead of your benjamins.
5. Flip It and Reverse It
Instead of buying two separate garments, diversify your wardrobe by looking for clothes that are reversible or double duty in some way. Dresses with cute patterns on both the inside and out (like the supercute baby blue number below) are a great example of getting two dresses for the price of one!
4. Call In the Swap Team
Swap meetups are a simple way to score fresh pieces for the new season without actually having to spend money on them. And since you're basically trading clothing with other people instead of purchasing new, the whole process is very sustainable. If you're looking for a swap meetup in your area, Meetup.com is a great place to find one (I recommend the Five Borough Clothing Swap Meetup if you are in NYC), or you can always host your own swap party with your friends! Real Simple has a wonderful guide with everything from how to organize your swap party to what to serve.
3. No One Has to Know That It's the Same Dress!
In the past, fashion has been all about buying new clothes to keep your look fresh and discarding old ones. But why not revamp what you already have by accessorizing wisely? Take a cue from The Uniform Project, a clever and inspirational website that follows the daily fashion adventures of one girl as she recycles the same little black dress into a new creation everyday for a whole year, and use your imagination to make your own wardrobes staples sparkle again.
2. Threadbangers Unite!
This one is a no-brainer. Sewing your own outfits (especially out of reclaimed fabric from clothing you already have) means that you're saving energy, materials and avoiding unethical labor. We love Threadbanger for ideas about everything from making a stylish slouchy dress out of old t-shirts to crafting a Balenciaga jumper out of scrap fabric. Need patterns? SANS has some simple and elegant ones for as little as $6.
1. Repurpose What You Already Have
Wait – don't throw that away! Before you discard old clothes or accessories, consider what other ways you may be able to use them. From transforming tank tops that no longer fit into handy grocery bags to repurposing padded bra inserts as shoe insoles, chances are there are some pretty ingenious ways that you can turn your old junk into something you really need and save some cash while you're at it!

Mapping the Complicated Politics of Immigration
Dante Chinni writes Politics Counts as a regular Capital Journal feature. Mr. Chinni is the director of the American Communities Project at American University, which examines different types of communities across the U.S.
Washington has again failed to pass an immigration overhaul measure, but on Friday thousands of new American citizens will be sworn in at hundreds of locations across the country. The July 4 naturalization ceremonies have become a staple of the holiday's celebration.
Statistically speaking, the foreign-born population in the U.S. is at an all-time high, according to the U.S. Census. There are 40 million foreign-born people living in the country today – 12.9% of the population – up from 31.1 million and 11.1% back in 2000.
The spread of those people around the country is far from uniform, as shown when we look at them with the 15 county types in the American Communities Project. And the way foreign-born people are dispersed around the country offers insights into how different American communities experience immigrants and immigration — and insights into why it's hard to get movement on something considered a crucial issue by both major political parties.
Looking at the map above there are three county types that stand far above the rest – the Big Cities 23.1% (in pink), the Hispanic Centers 20.5% (in green) and the Urban Suburbs 17.6% (in dark orange). Those three types are all well-above the national average for foreign-born people, but the political impact of immigration in places is not equal.
In the Big Cities and Urban Suburbs, densely populated, diverse places which tend to vote Democratic, those foreign-born populations, which also tend to lean Democratic, reinforce a left-leaning trend in the electorate. They push the vote in those places further in the Democratic column politically. These are places that tend to support immigration reform that allows for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
But the impact in the Hispanic Centers looks different. As you can see on the map, those counties sit almost entirely west of the Mississippi River and mostly in rural places that tend to vote Republican. In fact, even with large Hispanic populations (they are more than 56% Hispanic) those counties voted for Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential race by about 3 percentage points.
Why? Some of this may have to do with the percentage of the foreign-born that are citizens – and therefore eligible to vote. The naturalization figures are much lower in the Hispanic Centers, where only about 33% are naturalized compared to more than 45% in both the Big Cities and Urban Suburbs.
Foreign-born residents in the Hispanic Centers may be seen as political threat to the more conservative U.S.-born populations in those counties — and making those foreign-born populations into citizens would make them more of a threat. In other words, in terms of political power, many of those places probably aren't too eager to see an increase in naturalization ceremonies – on the Fourth of July or any time soon.
But after those three community types, what may be most interesting is the drop-off in the foreign-born population. In eight of the county types in the ACP, representing more than 85 million people, less than 6% of the population is foreign-born.
Geographically speaking those eight county types – the Military Posts, Middle Suburbs, African American South, Evangelical Hubs, Native American Lands, Working Class Country, Rural Middle America and Aging Farmlands – make up a broad swath of the country, more than 2,000 counties.
In those places, the immigration debate seems pretty removed from everyday life. It's an issue that isn't directly tied to a lot of what happens in those places, an issue with which most people likely don't have immediate experience. For the members of Congress who represent those places – and they make up massive parts of many states – immigration likely doesn't feel like a crucial issue.
When you add it all up, you begin to get an understanding of why immigration reform is stalled on Capitol Hill. While polls may show approval overall, the geographic spread that leads to a combination of disapproval in some places and disinterest in others.
The videos you will see this July 4 of people taking the oath to become U.S. citizens might make for good TV, but it will take more than that to move the ball on immigration policy.

If your children — or you — can't sit through an entire production of "The Nutcracker," consider the Cliffsnotes version starring 48 Oldham residents.
"Nutcracker In A Nutshell" celebrates its fifth year with two public performances Saturday at the Louisville Palace.
The show still includes the ballet's major components, said spokeswoman Marie Gould, but condenses it to 65 minutes.
The show is performed by the MAGIC dance company — Making Art Grow In Children, a non-profit pre-professional dance company.
Denise Gillman, owner of Gillman's Dance Academy in Crestwood, is MAGIC's artistic director.
Gillman said the show is unique because performers are ages 4 to 18 — adults are only appear in the party scene.
Gould said Gillman tweaks the show every year, including removing the intermission this year to make the show a little shorter. Rehearsals began in September.
Nearly 75 percent of the performers are Oldham County residents, Gould said.
Performers include Ella Horn, Harmony Elementary, and Annie Tapp, Crestwood Elementary, as Clara; Miranda Hileman, South Oldham High, and Grace Mahlbacher, homeschooled, as the Sugar Plum Fairy; and Colton Viehmann, Oldham County High, as the Nutcracker.
And, Harmony cross-country coach and Goshen resident Terry Mulligan plays grandfather Drosselmeyer.
Students performed Thursday and Friday for about 3,400 students and teachers from greater Louisville, including students from Harmony Elementary, Liberty Elementary, Oldham County Middle and Pewee Valley Junior Academy.
Families also had an opportunity to attend Clara's Tea Party with the show's matinee star, Ella Horn, and other characters midday Saturday at The Brown Hotel.
Gould describes it as a "true tea party," with crumpets, petit fours and tea. And fruit punch and sandwiches for younger visitors.
"Nutcracker In A Nutshell" performances are 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday at The Louisville Palace Theater. Tickets are $20 for orchestra seats and $17.50 for balcony.

Top 5 Best Beaches in Belize
Posted on Wednesday, August 30, 2017
Belize has 240 miles of coastline on the Caribbean Sea and is home to around 450 islands or 'Cayes'. We look at the best beaches on the mainland and further afield where some of the real gems can be found, on the atolls that stretch along the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System. This continuous reef structure runs the length of Belize, parallel to the coast and is one of the most pristine reef ecosystems in the Western Hemisphere.

The duo of Sarah Van Goethem (Aurora, Colo.) and Ashley Pittman (Norris, Tenn.) with 17 kills each from their outside hitter spots. Van Goethem started the match on fire going 6-for-10 (.600) in the first set and then 5-for-9 (.556) in the second set, combining for zero errors. In her final two sets she turned in an excellent defensive effort, accumulating 13 of her 16 total digs. Here kill and dig count led the junior to her eighth double-double of the season and second straight game with the achievement.
Pittman turned up the offense in her final two sets going a combined 13-for-22 (.591) on the attack and only committing two errors. She finished her evening with 17 kills, hitting at a .263 clip with four digs and two block assists.
Freshman libero Payton Tipton (Cleveland, Tenn.) shined late once again with a team-high 17 digs, 12 coming in the final two sets. She now has 15 games with 10 or more digs in a single match and four straight.
Other notable performances include Mariah Herington (Jonesborough, Tenn.), who had seven kills on 13 attempts for a hit percentage of .462. Three players finished with double-digit dig counts including Van Goethem, Tipton and Joscelyn Knott (Lake Mary Fla.) who ended with 13. Shannon Earwood (Carson City, Nev.)
"It sounds simple but we played a complete game tonight," said Head Coach Chris Toomey. "We hit well. We played great defense. We distributed the ball well and involved a lot of different people. It was just a really solid outing by the entire team."
King (15-11, 9-6) has now won four straight matches and have six league games remaining on the schedule and eight total. Their next match will be played against local rival Virginia Intermonth (9-14), who the Lady Tornado beat at home in straight sets on Sept. 13. They will play the Cobras on Oct. 20 with a 6:30 p.m. first service.
The win also clinches King a postseason spot in the Conference Carolinas Tournament beginning in less than three weeks. The top five teams from the Western Division will make it to postseason play and King currently sits in third place behind Lees-McRae (14-0) and Erskine (10-2).

PITTSBURGH, August 30, 2000 — Scuba divers should think twice about taking certain over- the-counter medications before diving, say emergency physicians at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine who conducted studies on the effects of Dramamine® and Sudafed® on scuba divers' performance. The results of the studies, published in the September issue of Pharmacotherapy, are among the first to have been conducted in hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) chambers, where pressures experienced by divers at different depths can be simulated accurately.
While most divers know it is ill-advised to take any kind of medication before a dive, many will take Dramamine® to combat the effects of seasickness or take Sudafed® to ease pressure in the sinus and ears. But, the researchers wondered might divers be subjecting themselves to greater risks for decompression sickness and nitrogen narcosis?
Nitrogen narcosis and decompression sickness result from inhaling compressed air. Nitrogen narcosis is attributed to the depth of a dive and occurs when divers become disoriented and, in rare cases, become unconscious. It can be remedied by ascending back to the surface of the water. Decompression sickness is associated with the length of a dive and is caused when nitrogen bubbles arise in the blood, resulting in severe pain. Unlike nitrogen narcosis, decompression sickness can lead to permanent damage. Potential neurologic complications include stroke and paralysis.
According to the results of their studies, the researchers found Sudafed® to be relatively "safe," but determined that Dramamine® could have serious consequences on a diver's mental functioning and judgment.
"Our findings indicate that Sudafed® is unlikely to cause problems for divers. But, Dramamine® should be avoided prior to diving because of its adverse affects on mental agility," says David McD Taylor, M.D., principal investigator of the study, who is now at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Victoria, Australia.
"Hopefully the results of these studies will make divers more knowledgeable, allowing them to dive safely," says Kevin O'Toole, M.D., F.A.C.E.P., associate professor of emergency medicine, director of the hyperbaric medicine program and co-principal investigator of the study.
In both studies, researchers looked at 30 people recruited from local diving clubs to determine the psychometric and cardiac effects of both drugs. All participants were required to be active scuba divers and had to be at least 18 years old. The study used a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design -- whereby participants eventually received both the placebo and each study drug, but neither the subjects nor the researchers knew which drugs they were taking.
Each participant came for three separate testing sessions at least one week apart. Each session involved the ingestion of the drug or placebo and testing inside the HBO chamber under two simulated diving conditions -- one just under three feet below sea level and the other at 66 feet below sea level, a common depth for recreational diving. While in the simulated diving chamber, all subjects were connected to a cardiac monitor to record both heart rate and cardiac rhythm. A total of seven separate tests were performed to study cognitive and behavioral patterns.
HBO chambers are typically used to treat decompression sickness in divers who get into trouble during ascent back to the water's surface. The HBO facility at UPMC is used primarily for carbon monoxide poisoning, wounds that are not healing, burns and other problems that may be helped by increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues.
The department of emergency medicine is widely known for its academic programs and research. The residency program, which started in 1981, has become one of the most competitive in the nation and trains more fellows in the fields of toxicology, prehospital care, research, and education and injury control than any other academic institution in the country.
The diving studies were supported by a grant from the Pittsburgh Emergency Medicine Foundation.

Chicken with Roasted Lemons, Green Olives, and Capers
The recipe I'm sharing here is from another new cookbook that's rapidly becoming one of my favorites. The Bon Appetit Cookbook is loaded with over 700 pages of recipes of every kind, and I've already marked about 25 recipes to try. It's a great all-purpose resource cookbook that I can tell I will use for a long time to come.
One of the things about this recipe that intrigued me was the process of roasting the lemons, then using the roasted lemon pieces in a sauce. The lemons are eaten, skin and all, probably a standby for Moroccan preserved lemons, which I've never been able to find in Salt Lake. I loved the combination of roasted lemons, capers, and green olives here, but if you didn't want to roast the lemons, I think this dish would also very good good, and much quicker to make, with just the capers and green olives.
Capers are the unopened buds of a flower called Capparis Spinosa, and they can vary in size from very small to about the size of a green pea. They are most commonly pickled in oil, brine, or vinegar, and are commonly rinsed before using. Capers grow in the Mediterranean, and are sometimes used in Greece to make a medicinal tea. A famous dish using capers is Chicken or Veal Picatta, which is most likely the inspiration for this recipe.
Brown the chicken pieces very well over high heat, about 3-5 minutes per side. Don't rush this step.
Chicken with Roasted Lemons, Green Olives, and Capers
(4 servings, recipe from The Bon Appetit Cookbook with slight adaptations by Kalyn)
12 thin lemon slices, cut from 2 lemons
olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
about 1/2 cup flour (use 100% whole wheat flour for South Beach)
2 tsp. poultry seasoning (I use Penzeys)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
2-3 T olive oil
1/2 cup sliced pitted green olives (recipe called for Sicilian olives, but all I had were plain supermarket green olives)
2 T drained capers, rinsed
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken stock or canned chicken broth (be sure it's low sodium or the finished dish will be too salty from the olives and capers)
2 T butter, cut into small pieces (recipe called for 4 T, but 2 T was plenty for me)
3 T chopped fresh parsley
Add butter, roasted lemon slices, and 2 T of the chopped parsley. Simmer until butter is melted and chicken is cooked through, 2-3 minutes more. Transfer chicken to serving platter, pour sauce over, and sprinkle remaining 1 T parsley. Serve hot.<
Butter is not really recommended on the South Beach Diet, but butter creates great flavor, and with the significantly reduced amount of butter I used, I think this would be okay for phase 2 or 3. This would be great with Georgette's Greek Zucchini and Brown Rice with Cashews and Herbs.

Typecast Films :: Arab Film Distribution online
Arts Statement
When AFD began "spreading the word" about Arab Cinema, we had only five films in our library - the titles we acquired after the first ever Arab Film Festival at the 1990 Goodwill Arts Games in Seattle. The charm of these films seduced the audience and highlighted a profound enthusiasm for Arab Cinema.
Our distribution project began soon after that as an effort to maintain a permanent flow of Arab films - our version of a year round "Arab Film Festival". Since then, AFD has provided American and Canadian theaters, universities, colleges, museums and media centers with many Arab films of high artistic and educational value. Our business has grown slowly and appreciation for Arab films steadily.

Media Graffiti Artist
Bio/Artist Statement
I am Catholic; I paint faces of religious people from all over the world without making distinctions of culture, ethnicity or education. For a portraitist mysticism is the gathering of all mankind behind painted faces–emotion brought by any human face–being the most direct and most genuine proof of the importance of any life, any identity and any soul. As a Catholic I see beauty in every human visage–particularly society's neglected minorities, homeless, marginalized and trivialized as the most beautiful of God's creations, in whom Christ lives; my street portraiture aims always to show their dignity embodying compassion as a testament to God's equal love for all human beings.www.flickr.com/photos/c215/show/
