The Walrus Says
Artistic Director Mary Wright reports, "We have five musicals that are options for our November production. We are asking for you, our potential cast, crew members, and our community audience to help us make a choice.
The plays the JCT is interested in performing will involve children, teens, and adults. They are: "Fiddler on the Roof," "The Sound of Music," "Mame," "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Nunsense." Please e-mail Mary at ms.wright@ cox.net with your vote as soon as possible but no later than Friday, July 17. Mary added, "We will put the names of everyone who emails his/her choice into a raffle, and pull out three lucky winners. Each of the first two names pulled will receive two free tickets to any performance of our fall play. The third name pulled will win four free tickets to any performance of the play. It doesn't matter which play you voted for in order to win. So, you have nothing to lose; please help us make our November 2009 musical a success."
Mary will be directing the production.
Happy birthday to all the Bastille Day babies.
Our apology to Linda Albaugh for allowing her reply to go right over our head. She wrote: "I was not stumped. I said that Mack Storey moved into the state garage that was between Jean Conent's house and Campo's on Clinton Avenue. That was where he manufactured his wood stoves."
Peter C. Pemantell notes, "In all fairness to Linda Albaugh, she did answer the question about Mack Storey's Heat O Vector shop. I was trying to trick everyone with a two part question that answered itself. The RI state barn I was referring to was on Clinton Avenue right where she said it was and if you look at her answer she says that Mack Storey moved in after the state moved out. I think the only question I may have got Linda on was Minnie Young's store at the West Ferry on Narragansett Avenue.
"And, this one is for Linda: Who was the best mechanic at Skippy Sylvia's garage?"
John Doty called to say Mack Storey's shop was in the old state barn on Clinton Avenue and it later became a pottery shop.
From Paul "Mike" Balzer, "If my memory serves me right, the shop was in an old garage just before the Campo's house on the east side of Clinton Avenue. Say hello to Peter Pemantell for me."
Anna Templeton-Cotill called and said in the 40s in the summer a man pushed his cart up and down Narragansett Avenue. What was he selling?
Bob Kinder nailed the poser. "They're not painting the sky as blue this year, wish you were here. Eddie Fisher sang it."
We wonder how many legitimate news stories never made it on air because of all the overhype on Michael Jackson. It says it all about America's ridiculous celebrity worship.
Joe Campo, who identified himself as class of '64, e-mailed, "Stephanie Gilman's comments about riding the ferry to school brought memories flooding back. Who can remember what the initiation was for Jamestown students who rode the ferry to high school. I remember Tommy Vietri and I got ours earlier than most of our classmates because we went to Rogers first, while most of the others went to Thompson Jr. High. The girl's initiation was different from the boys. A hint – singing was involved for the girls."

Head 'hog Gregg Charest said, "Special thanks to everyone who purchased T-shirts and made cash donations in the island stores and on Saturday mornings and everyone who I shook down for cash on the beach. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!"

No surprise: It's going to cost more to run your farm in 2001 — but, not that much more than in 2000. Total production expenses for agricultural commodities are projected to rise $1 billion, topping $200 billion for the first time ever, say economists for USDA's Economic Research Service.
And once again, government payments will help producers to maintain operating margins, according to economists Mitchell Morehart, James Ryan, and Robert Green, who presented their analysis of farm income and finance and the importance of federal payments to farmers.
Followed by 2000's whopping $2.3 billion increase for fuel expenses, those costs are expected to remain fairly stable this year and energy costs are expected to rise only slightly, they say. But fertilizer costs are projected to increase by 4 percent due to the impact of significantly higher natural gas prices used for production of nitrogen fertilizer. Pesticide expenses are expected to be up less than 2 percent.
Marketing, storage, and transportation costs are pegged to increase more than 5 percent as a result of higher fuel prices.
Since 1980, government payments' contribution to farm operating margins was largest in 1987, at 8.75 percent, but 2000 was nipping on its heels with an estimated 8.05 percent.
Since 1998, the economists note, the ratio value including government payments has been about 81 percent; in 2001, it is expected to rise to 83 percent.
Government payments reached a new high of $22.1 billion in 2000, boosted by $8.9 billion in emergency assistance and $6.4 billion in loan deficiency payments. In each of the last three years, the government has reacted to low commodity prices and potential income losses with legislation to increase financial assistance to farmers.
"Payments made as part of emergency legislation, coupled with the first extensive use of the Loan Deficiency Payment program, helped to maintain farm income and temper financial hardship for many producers," the economists point out. "Since 1996, direct government payments to farmers have totaled nearly $70 billion. Emergency assistance originating from special legislation comprised $20 billion of total government payments during 1996-2000, and is forecast to reach $3.6 billion in 2001."
Higher crop prices in 2001 should result in a drop of nearly $2 billion in loan deficiency payments, they say, and production flexibility contract payments should decline by $800 million compared to 2000.

It's the first Ferrari powered at all four wheels. Does that mean you'll take it on one of the world's most challenging hill climbs?
Welcome to Morning Would, where we present you with some of the most desirable, controversial cars ever built and ask what you would do to drive one.
The press photos Ferrari gave the world for the FF show the car driving (presumably) quickly across desert and snow-covered landscapes. They're clearly very proud of their new all-wheel drive system, which they claim allows the engine to be mounted lower than in any other all-wheel drive vehicle. Is Ferrari's premiere off-road and foul-weather effort ready for some hill climbs, though?
If it is ready for some tough challenges, where better to start than Pikes Peak? This is the race that puts rally cars to the test, the kind of place Audi would use in advertisement for Quattro to show you that, yes, you can go to Starbucks in the rain.
Would you drive the Ferrari FF up Pikes Peak's 4,720 foot change in elevation? Do tell in the comments.

UFC welterweight James Wilks — who became the welterweight winner of The Ultimate Fighter: U.S. vs. U.K. after slicing through Che Mills, Frank Lester (twice), and DaMarques Johnson — has announced his retirement from MMA. The 34-year-old Brit has been sidelined due to injuries since his decision loss to Claude Patrick in October 2010, and finally gave in to doctors' warnings that he could become paralyzed if he continued to compete.
As MMAJunkie explained, Wilks has spent his entire MMA career fighting with a fractured vertebrae from an old rugby injury, leading to a condition called spinal stenosis: "My bones are touching the spinal cord," Wilks said. "There should be a gap, so when you get hit, you've got some leeway for it not to cut into the vertebrae. But my vertebrae have grown from the front and back, and they're touching the spinal cord…I think if I was single and didn't have a wife and a son to look after, I probably would have risked it. But I thought about it for quite a while and made the decision (to retire)…It sucks because I don't feel I've shown what really have in the Octagon, and I didn't want to go out on a loss."
Wilks compiled an official record of 2-2 in the Octagon, including a decision win over Peter Sobotta at UFC 115. He'll now turn his attention to teaching at his Lightning MMA gym in Laguna Hills, California, and extolling the virtues of a plant-based diet.

A: Waveform Audio File Format (WAVE, or more commonly known as WAV due to its filename extension)(rarely, Audio for Windows) files are audio files playable via multimedia playback software such as Windows Media Player and other software available for your operating system. These files contain any sounds such as sound effects, music or spoken words. WAV files are large in size and with the advent of MP3 and MP4 WAV files are becoming less popular and less common. They were created and developed by IBM and Microsoft for storing an audio bitstream on PCs, but unlike MP3 and MP4 the WAV file format does not use a form of lossy compression so file sizes are therefore much bigger and now less popular. It is an application of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF)bitstream format method for storing data in "chunks", and thus is also close to the 8SVX and the AIFF format used on Amiga and Macintosh computers, respectively. It is the main format used on Windows systems for raw and typically uncompressed audio. Using the .WAV file extension, 8- or 16-bit samples can be taken at rates of 11,025 Hz, 22,050 Hz and 44,100 Hz. The highest quality being th 16-bit at 44,100 HZ, this highest level is the sampling rate of an audio CD and uses 88KB of storage per second. The usual bitstream encoding is the linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) format. All general sounds in Windows, such as when you log in, are in the .WAV format. It is the main format used on Windows systems for raw and typically uncompressed audio.

A: Ogg is a multimedia container format, and the native file and stream format for the Xiph.org multimedia codecs. As with all Xiph.org technology is it an open format free for anyone to use. As with most container formats it encapsulates raw compressed data and allows the interleaving of audio and video data inside a single convient format. Other examples of container formats are Quicktime .mov, the MPEG program stream, and AVI. In addition to encapsulation and interleave of multiple data streams, Ogg provides packet framing, error detection, and periodic timestamps for seeking, and in a small, bounded percentage bitrate overhead. Ogg is a stream oriented container, meaning it can be written and read in one pass, making it a natural fit for internet streaming and use in processing pipelines. This stream orientation is the major design difference over other file-based container formats.

PITTSBURGH --Police say a 2-year-old boy visiting the Pittsburgh zoo was killed when he fell off a railing that his mother had put him on top of it to view a pack of African painted dogs.
The child fell into the exhibit and the African wild dogs pounced on him and mauled him, but police don't know whether the boy died from the 11-foot fall Sunday or from the attack.
Lt. Kevin Kraus of the Pittsburgh police described the accident as "horrific."
Authorities haven't released the names of the boy or his mother. She is 34-years old and lives just outside Pittsburgh. Police said the boy's father arrived soon after the accident.
African wild dogs are considered endangered.

Nancy's 'conversation': Shut up alreadyEDITORIAL
December 21. 2012 12:15AM
For the past week, we have heard an unending cacophony of calls for a national "conversation" on gun violence and gun control laws. We were all supposed to let go of our firmly held positions and actually listen to the other side so we could have a real debate and move toward a compromise position that would protect the American people. All of us except Nancy Pelosi.
"In the coming days and weeks, we will engage in a meaningful conversation and thoughtful debate about how to change laws and culture that allow this violence to continue to grow," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Monday. His was a call echoed ad nauseum on the left. But House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was not interested in any conversation, meaningful or not.
On Tuesday she was pushing for an immediate ban on "assault magazines," her name for magazine clips that hold a lot of ammunition. She told Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC that Newtown happened because "an impaired person had access to firepower that should be outlawed." She advocated banning large ammunition clips, then said "let's go down the larger path and ban the assault weapon. I think there's a better chance to do that now than ever."
She did not define what an "assault weapon" is.
The next day she officially pressed House Speaker John Boehner to hold a vote on a bill to ban large-capacity magazines by Saturday. "What we need are not more words. We need action," she said.
So much for the "conversation" we were supposed to have. Pelosi senses an opportunity to weaken the National Rifle Association and the Republican Party politically, and she is going to take it. If you disagree or have questions, just shut up; the U.S. House of Representatives - which exists to facilitate conversations - doesn't need to hear any of your words.

Milestones are celebrated—and Elaine Zack and Bob Henley will be on hand to toast the organization that gave them so much enjoyment the past quarter century.
"I love Osher Lifelong Learning because being mentally strong and challenged is so important to a long and good life," says 82-year-old Zack, who attends classes with her husband, Stan. "I had to retire from teaching when I was 78, but I don't have to retire from learning."
Henley agrees. "I retired from Kodak 25 years ago but I wanted to be active and not become a couch potato," he says. "I volunteer as a driver for the Red Cross and repair projects at my church, but also enjoy learning new things, especially related to math, technology, drawing and history."
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Rochester Institute of Technology now boasts 625 active members, many of whom will celebrate the organization's 25th anniversary from 5 to 9 p.m. Oct. 7 at the RIT Inn & Conference Center.
RIT's learning center opened its doors in 1987 as the "Athenaeum," following the footsteps of the first Rochester Athenaeum established in 1829, where local citizens gathered to share ideas and friendship. Not much has changed except the name (after being awarded a grant from the prestigious Bernard Osher Foundation in 2006) and the organization continues to honor creative expression and dialogue in a learning-for learning's sake non-credit environment for people ages 50 and over.
"Osher at RIT is a wonderful success story and a testament to RIT's legacy as a university that has always had strong roots in the community and a mission that includes lifelong learning," says RIT Vice President for Government and Community Relations Deborah Stendardi. "As part of the RIT family, Osher members contribute significantly to the vibrancy of our university and are wonderful ambassadors on behalf of RIT within the greater community."
Osher offers a variety pack of classes, which are developed and conducted by members to include the arts, literature, sciences, history and government. The courses run the genre gamut, from "Irish Literature" and "Understanding the Human Brain," to "War Poems," "Italian for Beginners," "Express Yourself in Writing," "A History of Japan" and "Second-Guessing the Academy."
"Learning has no expiration date, and during the past 25 years we've provided a friendly atmosphere where members can take classes without having to worry about homework or grades," says Osher Program Director Sara Connor. "Our members come for the intellectual stimulation, but along the way they also make new friends and enjoy a variety of social events.
"It's a wonderful place where people can continue to teach, learn and remain active in their retirement years."
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at RIT, formerly the Athenaeum, celebrates its 25th anniversary as an academic-style learning center for adults over 50. Members enjoy unlimited participation in stimulating courses, social activities and travel tours, and access to RIT campus amenities. For information, call 585-292-8989 or go to http://osher.rit.edu.

Hey yall. I'm sitting home on a Friday night, writing my second blog post, after a tiresome week studying and living in Florence. Looking back on the past few days, it's been pretty jam-packed. This past week was midterms, so you can only imagine our sleepless nights and our endless test-taking/project presenting. Renaissance Art required a ton of memorization and analytical thinking. We had a huge project due for The Business of Licensing class, so we were busy putting together a succint/informative physical presentation, and slaving away at our 28-page research paper on licensed goods. Leadership Development for Retailing had us quizzing each other with note cards non-stop, and I think we all basically know how to be managers at this point.
On Wednesday, we had one of our weekly FITSA meetings. We discussed some recent group activities, such as a hike through the mountains to Fiesole, our most recent potluck dinner, and a soccer game at Florence's own "calcio" stadium. We also discussed things we'll be doing together in the near future, ie: The Perugia Chocolate Festival (the BIGGEST chocolate festival in EUROPE and we are going TOMORROW!!!!!), more soccer games, cooking classes, and a trip to Venice for Carnival.
As I just mentioned, tomorrow we will be waking up bright and early to go to Perugia, where they hold a MASSIVE annual chocolate festival, called Eurochocolate. We are so extremely excited to stuff our faces with nothing but chocolate for an entire day. They apparently have some pretty groundbreaking choco-related things there, like a map of Italy (important monuments like the Colosseum/Duomo di Milano included) made ENTIRELY OF CHOCOLATE. As a big choco-head, I am personally excited beyond belief.
Today, we took a trip to Prato to see one of the biggest/most well known textile-industry locations in the world. It's been producing yarns and wool textiles for over 1,000 years, so it was a pretty significant amount of fiber-observing/touching. We went to a Textile Museum, and did a lot of standing around, watching machines do their thing, spinning, stretching, manipulating and wrapping up long strings of fibers being spun into yarns. We saw the entire rainbow, every imaginable color of yarns. HOWEVER, I will be doing a separate post on this because I have so many fabulous photos to share from today.
Also, some of us were paid an in-class visit from Nita Tucker, who is an author, public-speaker, and is the founder of The Florentine, which is the only newspaper in all English in Florence. She was very inspirational, and has been on OPRAH!!! Perhaps that means as much to you as it does to me? She also told us some of her favorite places to go in Florence, which we are SO grateful for. Anyway, I will be wiring a special blog post just about her as well, so just put this thought in your back pocket.
So… to make a long story short, we finished midterms, went on a fun field-trip to Prato today, and will be going to the Chocolate Festival tomorrow. Things are swell for us here in Italy, to say the least. Also, I feel it's worth mentioning that my friends and I found a GREAT Mexican restaurant and had delicious burritos (4 euro!) and a ginormous plate of nachos with salsa and guac (sort of hard to come by in Italia) (5 euro split b/w us!). I was feeling filled to the brim with Mexican, bean cheese and rice filled lovin'.
Below are some photos I took, hope you enjoy! Until next time, I'm Zach, 3rd year FIT student, studying abroad in Florence and loving life! xx

Alan Pardew has warned his Newcastle players they must take Monday's home match with Bolton as seriously as Friday's trip to Swansea if they are to stay on course to gatecrash the Barclays Premier League top four.
Good Friday saw Pardew's men win at what is widely regarded as one of the toughest places to go in the top flight when they ran out 2-0 victors at the Liberty Stadium. Newcastle will be expected to follow that up with another three points against a Bolton side who have lost 10 times on the road this season.
But Pardew was wary of opponents that recorded a hat-trick of league wins before Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Fulham as his own side eye a fifth successive top-flight win for the first time for six years. He said: "They are a serious threat. Owen Coyle has just won Manager of the Month and rightly so. They are re-harnessed and it will be a tough game."

Christina Aguilera is finally looking better than ever after looking a lot of weight and changing her wardrobe, but an insider reveals to In Touch "those close to her kindly suggested that she tone down the dramatic makeup and extensions and try a softer look for her return to The Voice.
She is recording a new album that she wants to be a hit so the new image can't hurt. She thinks she looks great an isn't hiding behind 10 lbs of hair extensions."

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani forces stormed a hospital that had been taken over by gunmen Saturday in a restive southwestern province, freeing hostages and ending a five-hour standoff that capped a series of attacks that killed 22 people.
The violence emphasized the challenges that new Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will have in bringing calm to Baluchistan, a region beset by a separatist movement, Taliban militants and violent sectarian groups. Police said six attackers were also killed in the fighting.
The Baluch have long been alienated by what they see as exploitation by the central government of the oil, natural gas and valuable minerals in the extremely poor and underdeveloped province. The area has also been plagued by horrific attacks by Islamic militants on minority Shiite Muslims, and Afghan Taliban fighters use the territory's empty, arid landscape as a refuge.
The deadliest attack Saturday took place in the provincial capital of Quetta and appeared to target minority Shiites. A blast ripped through a bus carrying female university students, killing at least 14 people, said the head of police operations, Fayaz Sumbal.
The victims and bodies were rushed to a nearby hospital. As relatives, rescuers and government officials crowded into the building, a suicide attacker detonated explosives in the corridor leading to the emergency room, Sumbal said.
Other attackers then began firing at the crowd, prompting dozens to hide inside the hospital while others fled into the parking lot.
Soldiers and police commandos rushed to the scene and penned the attackers off into a wing of the hospital, Sumbal said.
An Associated Press reporter nearby heard intermittent gunfire as troops took up positions around the building. As fighting continued into the evening, another loud explosion later determined to be one of the attackers blowing himself up shook the hospital. Inside, patients, visitors and staff hiding behind locked doors spoke of the firefight.
"Everybody is trying to take shelter — in the corners, behind the steel cupboards and tables," Hidayatullah Khan, who had been visiting a niece wounded in the earlier bus bombing, told the AP by telephone.
A high-ranking government official who had been visiting wounded in the hospital died in the blast, as did two nurses, said Sumbal.
Another four soldiers from the country's Frontier Corps also died, said Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan. But it was not clear whether they were killed in the explosion or in the ensuing operation to clear the building. He said at least 35 people trapped inside the building were freed.
Six of the attackers died during the siege — four killed by security forces and two others who blew themselves up, Sumbal said, adding that thirty people were wounded from their gunfire.
Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a group of radical Sunni Muslims, who revile Shiites as heretics, claimed responsibility for the attack on the school bus and the hospital. The group said one of their female suicide bombers blew up the bus because it was carrying Shiites, although officials said the bus was also carrying students from other religious and ethnic groups.
The group has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks against Shiites, including a bombing in Quetta in January that killed 86 people.
Earlier Saturday, militants destroyed a house once lived in by Pakistan's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who led the country to independence in 1947. The attack has huge significance in a country where Jinnah is so revered he's referred to as Quaid-e-Azam or the "great leader."
Attackers on motorcycles planted bombs at the 19th century residence in the mountain resort town of Ziarat, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of Quetta. Three of the bombs exploded and ignited a fire that destroyed the building, said senior police officer Asghar Ali Yousufzai.
The attackers also shot dead a police guard outside the residency, which had been turned into a museum.
Authorities said they were investigating reports that a Baluch Liberation Army flag had been hoisted at the residence. The militant group is one of the various factions fighting for independence from Pakistan.
"It's a symbolic attack on the idea of Pakistan," said Raza Rumi, director of the Islamabad-based Jinnah Institute.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attacks in a statement, saying "no cause can justify such violence."
Saturday's violence serves as a huge challenge for Sharif and for the new chief minister of Baluchistan, Abdul Maalik Baloch.
Lashkar-e-Jhangvi is linked to al-Qaida and has been declared a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S., yet it operates with relative ease in Pakistan's populous Punjab province. The new Pakistani prime minister has been accused of being soft on militants using the province that his party has ruled for the last five years as a base.
Baloch's party was one of many that boycotted the 2008 provincial elections, but he and others decided to take part in the May 11 vote in an attempt to win change through the ballot box instead of through the violence favored by the separatists.
Ethnic Baluch separatists sought to derail the vote with a campaign of violence targeting their fellow Baluch, who the separatists view as traitors for taking part in the vote.
Many of the Baluch also view Pakistani security forces with deep distrust as a result of a repressive campaign against separatists by paramilitary soldiers and intelligence agents.
Santana reported from Islamabad. Associated Press writer Zarar Khan in Islamabad contributed to this report.

Skip to comments.Saddam general: WMDs in Syria
Posted on 06/07/2010 11:57:39 AM PDT by pissant
A former general and friend of Saddam Hussein who defected but maintains close contact with Iraq claims the regime supported al-Qaida with intelligence, finances and munitions and believes weapons of mass destruction are hidden in Syria.
Ali Ibrahim al-Tikriti, southern regional commander for Saddam Hussein's Fedayeen militia in the late 1980s, spoke with Ryan Mauro of WorldThreats.com.
Known as the "Butcher of Basra," al-Tikriti commanded units that dealt with chemical and biological weapons. He defected shortly before the Gulf War in 1991.
Last month, Saddam Hussein's No. 2 Air Force officer, Georges Sada, told the New York Sun Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were moved to Syria six weeks before the war started. Sada claimed two Iraqi Airways Boeing jets converted to cargo planes moved the weapons in a total of 56 flights. They attracted little attention, he said, because they were thought to be civilian flights providing relief from Iraq to Syria, which had suffered a flood after a dam collapse in 2002.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
This article is from 2006??
Another LibTARD lie debunked.
It was linked as if new on Orbusmax, and the headline banner read 6/7/2010. But yes, I now see its old hat. Wonder why Orbusmax resurrected it?
Captain Obvious must be in full retirement...
Egyptian Islamic Jihad was on Saddam's payroll. Which means that Saddam agents recruited Osama, and formed his inner circle right from day one.
Hiding in plain sight.
This may be true, but WND doesn't lend it much credibility.
"...Georges Sada, told the New York Sun Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were moved to Syria six weeks before the war started."
I guess that Syria is #1 on Israel's target list.
Bush will be vindicated.
We knew this before the war even commenced.
Yup — agreed
Bush knew all along, yet said and did nothing.
These weapons will end up killing Americans eventually.
If Syria indeed has the weapons I wonder if they will be used against Israel? Then again the raid Israel did in Syria a few years ago may have been in regard to eliminating those weapons. There was very little mentioned on the story from either side. There is a lot we do not know.
We certainly did.
Many of us have believed this from the beginning but the MSM and others made us out to be crackpots. I hope they are eventually found in Syria.
Debka also ran the story ..
I have never doubted for an instant that Saddam had WMDs.
"This article is from 2006??"
Yea, he wrote a book that didn't get much publicity in the libtard press, I read it and still have my copy.
He was self-agrandizing throughout the book and actually served with both Russians and American Air Force units, typical of the changing Iraqii loyalties.
He's still alive, amazing for a Christian ex-general of Saddam's for both reasons.
All captured Kuwaitis were executed before Saddam "surrendered" except the one air force soldier under the control of Georges.
He's not a saint but he's the guy who was smart enough to keep the Iraqii Air Force from being shot to pieces. I was waiting to see the Mirage's splashed on the desert floor, he wisely chose not to fight much.
Probably banished from Iraq with all the other Christians now. At least Saddam didn't punish Christians like he did some of the other Iraqiis.
(I understand he's back on the air but it's just not the same.)
"Last month, Saddam Hussein's No. 2 Air Force officer, Georges Sada, told the New York Sun"
Knowledge is power.
Knowledge 1 - Yes, the statements by former Saddam officials have been accurately reported
Knowledge 2 - even if the dates of those revelations had been "fixed" in this story, the fact is the New York Sun has been out of business for a few years, which automatically dates the entire story to some time in the past.
As important as it is to remind the public of the claims of former officials of Saddam's regime, about his WMDs, it is contrary to that purpose to foist them off as if they are current news. In fact, doing so will detract from their original and lasting importance, in the minds of the otherwise ignorant sheeple.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- I have made furniture for decades and assembled furniture for years for friends. I have never experienced such poor part quality. I tried for two hours with assistance to attempt to put this together with no success. I found that the cams were junk metal and the provided dowels were not even close enough to provide a close fit! Wondering if anyone has this problem... maybe I'm losing my skills?!?
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- I, too, was scammed of $3,000. Place an order for dining room furniture on 1/31/07. Told me it would take 2-4 months for delivery. Since not hearing from them for several months, I called in May. At the time, they did tell me that they were closing but that they were in the process of setting up a customer service department to handle their remaining orders and that my furniture would be delivered. They took all of my information. Of course, when I called them again in August I received a recorded telephone message that the number was disconnected. My deposit was on a major credit card.
Since, the dispute was longer than their time span they were not able to do anything. Call DCA they were not able to do anything. Can you imagine that furniture stores in NYC are not required to be licensed? This is absurd!!! Just wrote my letter to NYC District Attorney. The owner of Foremost should go to JAIL!!! Why does it seem to pay off to be a crook!! The owner knew he was closing. This scam was deliberate. Is there anyone that can help us?
NEW YORK -- I have been victimized by Foremost Furniture too. I like many of you out there purchased furniture from Foremost Furniture in NYC. That was in August of 2006. At the time I left them nearly $8,000 in a deposit for the furniture I ordered. In October they called to say that part of the order was in but that they would need an additional $4000 so that the deposit on the furniture not ready as yet would remain at 50%. After many months and countless call and fabricated stories from the staff at the store, Foremost went out of business and I like many of you are out my deposit.
I called the BBB, contacted the Department of Consumer Affairs, the District Attorney's Office and the law firm that is representing Bob Starr, the owner and "chief thief" at Foremost. I also filed a complaint at small claims court where I did win a judgment for 5000 dollars plus interest and court fees. I have sent this judgment to the lawyer representing Foremost and am waiting to see what he has to say. Thus far the only offer for any money to be returned to me and other creditors is 10% of the deposit they got from us. Isn't it something when the victim is treated like the guilty party and the guilty party is so insulated from prosecution for his crime!
I called to check on my order about the time it was to be in and found the number disconnected. The place is out of business! We are out thousands of dollars! Apparently, we are NOT alone - it seems they have been taking orders since 2005 and not filling them. I am taking legal action - have been to the district attorney's office, special investigations and prosecutions. This is a criminal matter now. I urge anyone who has been cheated by Foremost Furniture to contact both the district attorney's office in New York County and the Dept of Consumer Affairs.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- I gave Foremost Furniture a deposit of $1000 for a sofa in MAY 2006 - I was told that the sofa would be delivered in 2-4 months. I called repeatedly and was told that the delivery would be made in 6 weeks, 8 weeks, etc. After 10 months, I called to cancel the order and was told that I would receive a refund of my deposit in 2 weeks. That was almost 3 months ago. I call every week or every two weeks, and I am told a different story. First, they said that my refund was at the bottom of a pile of "paperwork". Then they said that they didn't have my credit card number to process the refund (Hmm, they should have noticed this when they sent over my "paperwork".).
Then they said that the woman in the office could do the refund, but that she needed approval from the owner. The following week I was told that they couldn't process the refund because their bank account was closed and that they are having financial problems. BUT that the owner would come in the store and approve the refund the following Friday. The following Friday the owner didn't come to the office - no surprise. The refund has not been processed and I am suing this company. The string of lies is just abhorrent. I have never encountered such dishonesty in a business.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- I ordered an Iron Bed in November of 2006, delivery was to be in 2 to 4 months. I contacted the store in February of 2007 to see if there was any word, I was told first week in March. The first week in March came and went no bed, was then told there was a delay to May 9th 2007. I said OK what can I do there was a delay from the manufacturer, I was then called 2 weeks later and told that the bed was no longer available, would I like to pick something else out, I declined. I waited a week for my card to be refunded, no refund. I stopped into store and was told that a credit would be issued at the end of their quarter, almost 3 weeks after they told me they could not deliver.
They will have had my 50% deposit for just about 6 months but they don't care, I still am supposed to wait till they want to make the refund. I ordered the exact same bed on the internet and it will more than likely be delivered before they will return my deposit. I checked with the manufacturer they still make the bed and they normally ship within 2 to 3 weeks of order and payment.
Foremost used to be a great place to shop, I have shopped there for the past 15 years. It is no longer a great place to shop anyone that would want hold on to 500.00 dollars to book as a sale in the present quarter, instead for returning the money for what they know is a sale that won't happen is not worthy of any patronage.
This may not still be relevant. About ten years ago, we bought a beautiful leather sofa bed from Foremost. We were lucky because we wanted navy and the floor sample was navy. If we wanted black it was $4,000. In navy it was $2,000. There was a rough edge and when we opened it, the mattress tore. It was a small hole and they could have repaired it and smoothed out the rough area. They gave me a choice of this small repair or a completely new mattress. I chose the new mattress.
This sofa bed has been used a lot. The mattress is comfortable and does not have that uncomfortable metal bar that so many sofa beds have. The mattress came in two weeks, as promised. The condition of the leather is almost perfect and the sofa bed is gorgeous--no fading, rubbing, etc. I can only speak from my experience of several years ago but the quality and service were superb. We just got a new beach house and I am going to Foremost today to furnish it. I hope they have remained as good as they were in service, price and quality.
On October 1, 2006, my husband and I went to Foremost Furniture (based on a friend's recommendation) and ordered a leather sofa. We paid a $1300 deposit, and were given a receipt stating that delivery would be in 2-4 months. The story of non-responsiveness is very long and boring, but the upshot is that, 9 months later, we still don't have our sofa. I will never have anything to do with this company again. The only bright side is that I charged the deposit on a major credit card, and so will have no problem getting my deposit back.

How old were you when you got your first wax? For me, I was certainly somewhere in my early twenties when I made that (very painful) trip to the salon. My mother wouldn't even let me shave my legs before I was fourteen, so I'm certain that if I had told her I wanted a wax when I was in Middle School, she would have been aghast!
But one salon is targeting that exact age group by offering half-off on all waxing services to girls under fifteen-years-old, according to Buzzfeed. Based in New York and Florida, Uni K Wax is offering the promotion throughout the month of July in honor of Independence Day.
Plus: Colorado Kids Store Sells Crotchless Thong Underwear
"Celebrate Freedom and Independence," reads the advertisement beside a photo of a bikini-clad, prepubescent girl jumping up and grinning. I don't know about you, but I definitely don't think of freedom or independence when I'm getting waxed. Nor do I find it "pleasant," which is another way the salon describes the first waxing experience.
Plus: Pole Dancing Classes for Toddlers
"At our centers, the daughters often come along and look at their mothers getting waxed and they have questions and they're not part of the fun and it just becomes a regular activity," said Carlos Calderon, the salon's Director of Operations. "It's just another thing you have to do with Mom, like running errands or something else that becomes boring."
Plus: Girls Encouraged to Wear Nude Bikinis on "Dance Moms"
A Uni K Wax statement also added that the promotion was aimed at parents, since they are the decision makers. "We want them to celebrate freedom and independence all July when they go out with their Moms and experience this waxing treatment," Calderon said. "It goes along with our country."
How old would your daughter have to be before she is allowed to get a wax?

little bedroom + Roxy Marj coloring posters
After mentioning the new bed we got yesterday, I thought I'd share some more of Israel's little room. It's not very big and rarely clean on top of being pretty small so I don't often want to take photos in here but I had to do some organizing after getting his bed together.
The real reason though is to share these coloring poster my friend Roxy (and blog sponsor if you may notice) who is this wonder woman of talents. She's an illustrator and textile designer who recently created these large posters that kids can color on. Smart right?
She has 4 different styles but I love this rug version, designed after an old Kilim, it's filled with fun faces and patterns. Roxy kept the parents in mind with this as well, considering what we would want to have hanging in our house as well.
She hit the nail on the head, in my opinion. Check out the other 3 styles here!

Because of this damage, my colleagues and I became interested in the ongoing repair process. Our experimental protocol involves having our subjects perform eccentric exercise and then examining the responses. We have seen that exercise results in muscle damage and repair and that muscle continues to show signs of damage for days after the exercise. This increasing amount of damage is likely due to an increase in the production of oxygen free radicals within the muscles.
We therefore examined the effects of vitamin E supplementation of muscle damage and repair in young and older men. Our hypothesis was that 2 months of supplementation (800 IU vitamin E/day) would make the muscle tissue less likely to exhibit damage following eccentric exercise. Although our study showed minimal effects on the responses of the young subjects, vitamin E had a substantial effect on the responses of the older men.
The adaptive response to damaging exercise involves an "acute phase response," similar to that which people exhibit to infection. stress or trauma, and involves the immune system and its many effects. It appears that young people have a robust response to the exercise, whereas the elderly do not. Our research has demonstrated that vitamin E supplementation in the older subjects restored their response to that which was seen in the young subjects. This involved the mobilization of immune cells to invade the damaged muscle and ultimately to stimulate repair. In addition, we demonstrated that vitamin E supplementation greatly decreased the production of oxygen free radicals in both groups of subjects. Taken together, these studies reveal that vitamin E, and perhaps other antioxidant vitamins (C and beta carotene), will help to accelerate the adaptive response to exercise in the elderly and that in both young and older subjects, antioxidant supplementation may help to reduce the continued damaging effects of oxygen radicals.
Although there is compelling evidence that vitamin enhances the adaptive response to exercise, there is little evidence that vitamin E serves as an ergogenic aid during exercise. Vitamin E supplementation has not been demonstrated to enhance endurance, anaerobic, or strength exercise performance, nor is there any scientific rationale to believe that it has any ergogenic effects.

WALKER, LA (WAFB) - According to the Livingston Parish Coroner, the unborn baby who was cut out of its mother was accidentally cremated Friday.
Just after 11 a.m. Tuesday, emergency officials were called to what they called a gruesome scene on Milton Road in Walker, LA. Investigators say a 28-year-old pregnant woman was cut across the throat and her belly was severed with a kitchen knife. The woman was about seven and a half months pregnant.
Officials say Jeffery Reynolds, 31, the woman's husband, forcibly removed the unborn child from her womb. The woman survived the attack. According to reports, Reynolds was found kneeling over the victim. He was arrested and taken to the Livingston Parish Jail.
Reynolds has been charged with first-degree feticide and second-degree attempted murder.
Deputies said Reynolds was combative during the arrest. A toxicology test was run on Reynolds, but the results have not come in yet.
The coroner says the Livingston Parish Government does not maintain a morgue and has always relied on a private sector funeral home for morgue services. In a statement released by the coroner, they say a funeral home employee mistakenly removed and cremated the baby before an autopsy could be performed.
The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office along with Louisiana State Police are investigating the details of the cremation and the local district attorney has been notified.
According to the Associated Press, Livingston Parish District Attorney Scott Perrilloux says the cremation voids the possibility of upgrading the feticide count to one of murder. Previously, Perrilloux said that if evidence showed that the unborn baby had begun to breathe before it was killed, that the feticide count may be upgraded to murder.
However, Perrilloux said he believes the current counts against the suspect in the case can still be prosecuted.
Reynolds is being held in the Livingston Parish Jail on a $500,000 bond. The woman's name has not been released.
An investigation into the attack is continuing.

When it comes to contact centers in Europe, few do it as well as the Shop Direct Group.
One of the British Isle's top online retailers, Shop Direct is known for its catalogues and web sites. But at least among industry insiders, it also is known for its contact center excellence.
This view was recently reconfirmed by Bright, a UK-based performance management company. Bright listed Shop Direct as a Top 25 percent performer in Europe in its recent contact center benchmarking study, the Bright Index.
The Bright Index is founded upon evidence that to optimize customer management contact center performance, three areas need to be monitored continually, according to a Bright news release. These areas are:
The Bright benchmarking includes measuring efficiency, quality, resourcing, self-service, sales and resourcing.
Each year up to 100 companies benchmark their call center performance with the index.
The index uses 50 key metrics with an average of one million calls per participating company as the basis for the analysis, according to Bright.
"Shop Direct continues to raise the bar for best in class contact centre performance and is now recognized as an effective contact centre operation delivering quality and efficiency above many of its peers," noted Bright on its site.
Shop Direct is pleased to be listed as a top performer, too.
"Bright has become our trusted advisor in measuring and improving our contact centre performance," noted Hilary Bennett, Head of Site for Shop Direct, as reported by Bright in the news release.
Being a top performer means taking the contact center in the context of the whole organization, noted Mats Rennstam, managing director for Bright.
"The key to delivering world-class customer service as well as proving the contact center's contribution to the organization as a whole is to get a comprehensive and all-encompassing view of how the contact center operates," he wrote.
Rennstam added: "We have to recognize that there are inherent dangers in examining areas in isolation, which is why the Bright Index is designed to adopt a holistic approach including all areas of managing a best-in-class contact center."
Bright UK helps clients measure and improve overall performance using its Bright Index. This is the twelfth year of the index, according to Bright. The company also produces the Bright Employee Index.

It might be worth looking into waterproofing your existing cape... http://www.amazon.com/Star-Brite-Starbrite-Waterproofing-Treatment/dp/B003CYTOAI is supposed to do a good job, as long as it isn't the seams that are leaking. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I think that the seams were leaking too, and honestly it's just not worth the trouble. I've already returned the original and ordered the waterproof version for the spring.Delete
I have tried waterproofing other coats in the past with wash-in products and it didn't work that well.
I hope you will give us an "action report" on how the new cape works. It wouldn't work in a Texas downpour, but might be quite good in the misty Pacific NW.ReplyDelete

Seasonal Evolution of Greenland Ice Sheet Hydrology
Matt Charette, Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry
Arctic Research Initiative
2011 Funded Project
The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is the Northern Hemisphere's largest terrestrial permanent ice mass; melting the entire ice sheet would raise the ocean's surface more than seven meters. However, surprisingly little is known about how surface warming controls ice sheet loss or if the composition of meltwater-derived chemical fluxes will remain unchanged. One important control is thought to be the internal hydrology of the GrIS, which dictates how fast it travels to the ocean. Here, I propose to test a new isotope mixing model to determine the seasonal evolution of meltwater flow paths in the GrIS. Naturally occurring radioisotopes will be used to quantify two important aspects of the subglacial discharge: (1) the basal meltwater component and (2) the supraglacial meltwater transit time from the surface to the bed. These mechanisms have a direct bearing on ice sheet advection rates as well as subglacial chemical fluxes and composition; they will be addressed via a time series study of a large land-terminating outlet glacier during the course of the melting season.
