Our #NewBookoftheWeek
Jamie Bartlett's book, The Dark Net: Inside the Digitital Underworld, is this week's #NewBookoftheWeek. Voted one of National Public Radio's Best books of 2015 and included on the Washington Post's list of Notable Nonfiction of 2015, this book gives readers an idea of what else is going on beyond our familiar online world.
You can find a copy of the book on the "New Book Shelf" in Waterfield Library.
About the book:
Beyond the familiar online world that most of us inhabit—a world of Google, Facebook, and Twitter—lies a vast and often hidden network of sites, communities, and cultures where freedom is pushed to its limits, and where people can be anyone, or do anything, they want. This is the world of Bitcoin and Silk Road, of radicalism and pornography. This is the Dark Net.
In this important and revealing book, Jamie Bartlett takes us deep into the digital underworld and presents an extraordinary look at the internet we don't know. Beginning with the rise of the internet and the conflicts and battles that defined its early years, Bartlett reports on trolls, pornographers, drug dealers, hackers, political extremists, Bitcoin programmers, and vigilantes—and puts a human face on those who have many reasons to stay anonymous.
Rich with historical research and revelatory reporting, The Dark Net is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at a world that doesn't want to be known.
(Melville House)
About the author:
Jamie Bartlett is the Director of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at the think tank Demos, where he specializes in online social movements and the impact of technology on society. Prior to his work with Demos, he was a research associate at the international humanitarian agency Islamic Relief and conducted field research in Pakistan and Bangladesh. A graduate of the London School of Economics and the University of Oxford, Bartlett writes a weekly column on technology for the Telegraph and is a frequent commentator for media outlets throughout the world. He lives in London. (Melville House)

Here you can see the back and binding better. I was able to find just enough yardage for the back at Burgundy Buttons. The binding I bought at a LQS and managed to freak out the staff there when I went in to buy it, story is after the last picture :p
And who doesn't love a rolled up quilt?? My daughter LOVED this quilt and was so happy to work on it with me yesterday, she stayed awake until it came out of the dryer so she could sleep with it. None of my quilts get used until their washed :)
So about the LQS, I was working one day and got a call to a nursing home that ended up being canceled as we were arriving so when we got told to go post at a different hospital I decided to hit up this shop on the way there to see what they had left of Origins since they had a bunch of yardage a few months back. You would NEVER know this quilt shop exists unless you pay close attention, it's a non-descript house with a small sign that says Quilters Heaven. My partner and I pull up, in the ambulance of course, walk inside and all the ladies inside started asking if everything was ok! It sure was, just doing some shopping on shift :) It was on the way to where we were going to we just popped in. They quickly recovered from their scare. **disclaimer: we're allowed to shop on shift, as long as we answer our calls and do what we gotta do they're ok with it. all they ask is we conduct ourselves in a way that shows the company in a positive way, which we do**
I also entered this quilt in the MBS contest of the month. Got in in just the nick of time, finished it yesterday, photographed it this morning, uploaded the pics in between calls today and got it posted to flickr. Talk about waiting til the last minute!

The final exam will take place on Thursday May 9, 2:00 - 3:50 in room 703, Main Building. It will be closed book and closed notes. It will be cumulative, covering material from the entire course, but emphasizing more the material from the second half (since the first half was already tested in the midterm.)
The following are some sample questions that might be asked about the material in the second half of the course. This is NOT a sample exam; the real exam will have some questions from the first half, and fewer questions from the second half.
`T', `h', `r', `e', `e', Delete key, Delete key, Delete key, `e', `r', `e', Carriage return.If keyboard input is in raw mode, how many characters are passed to the user program? What if it is in cooked mode?
File name | First block | Size in bytes --------------------------------------- AA 5 1350 BB 7 2200(The other information in the directory is omitted.) The current state of the FAT is
0 -- FREE 1 -- FREE 2 -- -1 3 -- 4 4 -- -1 5 -- 2 6 -- FREE 7 -- 3 8 -- FREEThe system uses a block size of 1 Kbyte. What is the last block of file BB? How many bytes of that block are used? (Useful fact: 1K=1024).
For example, suppose that the page size is 1Kbyte, and the program contains routines ``main'' of 750 bytes; ``a'' of 1000 bytes; ``b'' of 1200 bytes; and ``c'' of 200 bytes. Ordinarily, the linker would place ``main'' in bytes 0-749; ``a'' in 750-1749; ``b'' in 1750-2949; and ``c'' in 2950-3150. However, a linker sensitive to paging might put ``main'' in 0-749; ``c'' in 750-950; ``a'' in 1024-2023; and ``b'' in 2048-3247. (Note: 1K = 1024; 2K = 2048; 3K = 3072.)
Name one advantage and one disadvantage of this placement scheme.

Nothing earth-shaking on the business-news front today, which makes time for a few rambling observations:
Olympian View. I'm not sure what the Las Vegas line is on Chicago winning the 2016 Olympics, but I'll take the City of Big Shoulders to win. Forget, place or show. There's a lot of reasons why, but one of them is the united front that Chicago's political and business interests presented during the race against Los Angeles before the United States Olympic Committee. Mayor Richard Daley, Former Aon Corp. Chairman Pat Ryan and the state's leadership (Gov. Rod Blagojevich, House Speaker Mike Madigan, etc.) mustered the type of civic willpower that is not seen in today's world. Like these guys or not, it was a pretty impressive. If that coalition can hold, then the Olympics are on the way. (The International Olympic Committee will decide which city gets the nod. Chicago is up against Rio de Janiero, Tokyo, Prague and others).
One more point--and it's a big one-- there's no reason that taxpayers should get clipped if the Olympic Games are held in Chicago. Yes, the cost of venues, services and labor will go up significantly compared to current estimates but so will the revenues--provided the Olympics are managed properly. Some advice to Chicago's Olympics backers and planners: Build only what is needed and don't make this an excuse for a massive public works project designed to address every need or solve evey ill. Also, fellows, try to keep the stealing to a minimum this time. The ramp-up to the Olympics promises to be one of the most interesting economic development/business/political sagas that the city has ever witnessed. Be a shame to miss it.
Calls waiting. The new business phone line in my office has been ringing off the hook for the past several days. Who's calling? Why it's my old friends, the credit card companies. In this case, they're not trying to sell me new credit cards but credit card processing services. I just got another one while filing this post. Honest! Most of them have been pretty polite when I say "no thanks" (better than the telemarketers who ring you during dinner time). I guess AT&T sells new business listings to these companies. I'm all for trying to make an honest buck, but please don't call me----I'll call you.
How much did you get for your house? One of the newest, and most fun, real estate blogs out there is Chicago Magazine's "dealestate. the blog". The magazine's real estate expert Dennis Rodkin zeroes in the area's choice residential real estate deals and more. Check it out.

text: Where are you going, Lamar Odom? The NBA star was photographed carrying luggage into a friend's home yesterday, which also marked the celeb's 34th birthday, making it appear as though he is moving into his pal's pad. Or maybe he was just unloading a few things from his home with Khloé Kardashian Odom? A source tells E! News exclusively that the athlete spent the night at his marital home with his wife on Tuesday, after celebrating Kris Jenner's birthday. Odom accompanied Khloé to the E! matriarch's 58th birthday party that evening. "It was just close family and friends," says a source. "Lamar and Khloé are actually getting on very well and were couple-y together. It was very intimate and everyone was really pleased to spend time with them." The information of their sleepover comes on the heels of false claims that Khloé has put their home on the market. "If you want 2make up stories that I'm selling my home at least use images AFTER I renovated it. LOL I can't stand those horrendous old images," she tweeted. After Odom decided to get sober in the wake of his Aug. 30 arrest (he later pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence), his relationship with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star began to improve. Now the two "are actually getting on very well," and are "seriously talking about possibly giving it another go," says a source. They kicked off Lamar's birthday festivities early because Kardashian Odom was busy working on her husband's actual birthday, Wednesday, Nov. 6. So, on his special day, Odom had a celebratory lunch with two pals at Casa Vega restaurant in L.A. before later having dinner at The Boiling Crab, also in Los Angeles.

27th July 2016
When I told about the missed opportunity of attending my friend Mr Venkatesh, son's marriage at Devakottai, to one of my friend Mr Nachiappan, in turn invited me to Devakottai to attend the Kottai Amman's annual 15 days festival, which is unique in nature and lakhs of people used attend from various parts of India. So I decided to attend the festival to get the blessings of Sri Kottai Amman. I stayed along with his family and visited Two shiva temple and a Saibaba temple.
The temple belongs to 40 sections of Nattukkottai nagarathars.
Iraivan : Sri Sindareswarar
Iraivi : Sri Meenakshi
Some of the important features of this temple are…
- The five tier Rajagopuram is in front with Palipedam, Dwajasthambam and nandhi.
- In the inner prakaram sannadhi for 63var, Somaskandhar, Marakatha Vinayagar, Sri Viswanathan & Visalakshi, Balathandayuthapani, Valli Devasena Subramaniyar, Gajalakshmi, Natarajar Saba, Bairavar, Chandran and Saneeswarar.
- In koshtam Vinayagar, Dhakshinamurthy, Brahma and Durgai..
- Sanctum is built like mada koil with steps to climb.
- Ambal is in a separate temple with Rajagopuram, Palipedam, Nandhi and Dwajasthambam.
- In the prakaram sannadhi for Palliyarai, Navagrahas.
- In koshtam, Icha, Gana and Kiriya sakthi moorthams.
- There is a mandapam between Ambal and Shiva's sannadhi to conduct important functions.
- On the koshtam the sculptures instead of yazhi are worth to watch.
- Both temple are facing east with Rajagopuram. In between Rajagopurams, sudhai sirpam of Meenakshi sundareswarar thirukalyanam on the top of the wall.
- Devakottai is about 20 KM from Karaikudi
- The temple is about 1.5 KM from Bus stand and autos are available from bus stand.

So each day I will be taking a self portrait. I am getting bored with art and am trying to think of things to do to boost my inspiration! I looked up some ideas on google and it sent me to this site that gave me really good ideas like the one I am doing now. I will also be doing a series of Broken Homes which I am excited about. Saving my money for my new camera, can't wait. I am thinking a Nikon D5000! It's got everything I want at a good price! Oh, too many choices! Yup, so here is my self portrait for today! :D
I decided to take a picture of my with a camera because I love photography. That is part of me! Self portraits are supposed to reflect ones self, I am trying to do so. Maybe in this I will figure out what my life is really about! Who knows! It is like a quest! I got this camera at a garage sale for free, I don't think it works! That sucks! I plan on getting it fixed in the future. Hope I can!

The nativity scene is one of the most ingrained traditions in the Spanish culture. The scene is displayed in churches, homes and department stores.
Catalan Nativity figure: El caganer: the shitter
The caganer is one of the most celebrated and important figures in the nativity scene. Caganer translates to the shitter. A figurine taking a dump. Whatever you might think, it has a profound meaning. It dates back to the XVIII century and it actually symbolized the fertilizing of the land and is a symbol of prosperity and good luck.
The caganer used to be a figure mainly dressed in the traditional catalán attire: white shirt, red beret and black sash. However, the tradition has evolved with the times and now political figurines are being made and have them taking a dump too!
Do you have any crazy holiday traditions to share? Let us know!

I'm liking it :)
Mind you, that's not a totally positive thing - it means I don't love the patch, as I feel the new instance/raid leaves much to be desired. I've covered this previously but I'll summarize my feelings - it's nice to have a new instance, but I just don't feel an instance composed of nothing more than a round room is worthy of the title of a "raid instance". Not when compared against the likes of everything from Molten Core, through Karazhan, Naxx and Ulduar.
Still, there's plenty to like about the patch. I love the profession boosts, the new epic gems, everything. It has breathed new life into all professions.
I've done the new 5man in both normal and heroic versions and I would categorize the normal version as fast, fun, easy enough to be nearly impossible to wipe, a very good place for people just dinging 80 to go to. The heroic version was much harder, my PuG wiped several times. Yet the GY is very close, you can even enter the room mid-fight (bug?) and the wipes were mostly about us not knowing the tactics - first time there, and the bosses have different abilities in heroic. Compared to some other heroics it is very quick and not too hard, and gives very good loot.
There are a TON of new daily quests in the Argent Tournament for my priest, so getting more gold should be very easy.
I bought the +10xp chest for my Warlock and mailed it to him, I hope I will feel the difference while leveling. I'm also looking forward to getting the 100% speed mount.
That's pretty much it. I'm tired, but pleased. Today I took the time to enjoy the patch and the rush of new content, however over the next few days I will continue to work hard, so not much game time for me, alas. Still it was worth it and I'm very happy with the fact that I have plenty of new stuff to do now :)

|BUY: (The Series in paperback) The Solitary Knights of Pelham Bay: The Series
Title: Stardust | Solitary Knights of Pelham Bay Book 4
Author: Claire Thompson
Website of Author: http://clairethompson.net
Website of Publisher: http://romanceunbound.com
Genre: Manlove/Contemporary/Erotica
Publication Date: 2010
Length: 18500 Words
Format: eBook
Reviewer: WitchGiggles
When Gordon is handed a golden opportunity to "fix" a problem for a man whom he has "worshiped" for a long time, he grabs it with both hands, thinking it might bring them together again. Love is unconditional as Dennis knows only too well when Gordon's ex who is now a famous movie star finally shows the real him with a vengeance. It's not just as a friend that he'll be there for Gordon, but that lug has never noticed the forest for the trees.
I've known people who quietly love their one and only and never say anything to them as they go about their lives. I like the fact that Ms. Thompson gives Dennis a bit of a helping hand with revealing to Gordon (the big lug) just what loving someone is about. There's strength of character, humor, fear of commitment and some spanking hot sex thrown in to make this a very interesting read. My only problem with this - I'm nosy and want to know more about each of the couples. In other words they're not long enough. I know, I know, it's easy for someone who's not doing the writing to complain.

One of the more highly anticipated features of the recent Apple mobile operating system upgrade involves Personal Hotspots. This is a feature where you can use your iPhone's 3G data connection to create a mobile WiFi network, this will enable your PC, Mac, or iPad to get online when an open WiFi network is not available.
This feature is not something very, it's just new to Apple. Other smartphones, and other carriers have allowed this to occur, so this is another example where Apple is not first to offer something, instead they offer it when they feel it is ready.
For journalists and bloggers on the road this is going to to an indispensable, and much appreciated new feature -- and absolutely vital if you want to use your WiFi-only iPad while on the road.
If you are an iPhone 4 user here is how you activate your Personal Hotspot:
First, assuming you are an AT&T customer, you have to have the 4 GB data plan. If you currently have an unlimited data plan, and you use a lot of data you are hosed -- either you give up your unlimited data or you give up the idea of the Personal Hotspot. Big data users that still have their unlimited plans should think long and hard before giving them up.
But since I usually have access to WiFi, I don't use nearly as much data as you would think, considering that I both listen to the radio and watch Al Jazeera English on my iPhone!
Users need to go to the AT&T Wireless website, sign-in then look for their phone (if they have multiple phones on their account). The data plans are listed under "Features" not rate plans. Change your plan to te 4 GB plan and you are just about there.
Then all that is necessary is to go back to your phone to set-up the hotspot. The setting is found under Settings > General > Network. You can also access the AT&T website this way, though it is probably easier to do it on your computer or laptop in advance of travelling.
The Personal Hotspot assigns your device a network ID and password that can be used by your iPad or laptop. Then it is pretty easy to use, just look for the right network on your iPad and sign-in. Easy.
Network speeds using tethering, as this process is called, is dependent on your 3G data speeds, with AT&T being pretty good. But even though your iPad or laptop will be accessing the web via WiFi don't expect typical WiFi speeds -- unless you are used to the WiFi found in airports, in which case you will be pretty happy.
As I mentioned the other day, getting your web connection through WiFi via a hotspot creates a weird situation on the iPad 2. The tablet from Apple will come with cameras and FaceTime software allowing users to conduct video calls. But these calls only work if the iPad 2 is access WiFi, not its own 3G. But if the iPad 2 is on WiFi, even if that WiFi is coming from a Personal Hotspot through the iPhone's 3G connection, FaceTime will work -- though it might be choppy. We'll see.
In any case, I really wish this Personal Hotspot feature had been available the last time I travelled to the West Coast. On that trip I simply did the best I could, spending far too much time at the local Starbucks. The other option, before the iOS 4.3, was to jailbreak your iPhone, but that seems like a waste of time to me now.
All this is great news for journalists with iPhones, and those considering iPads for reporting. With Apple introducing iMovie for both iPhones and iPads, a reporter could quickly shoot some video with their iPhone, edit it with their iPad, and load it online pretty quickly. Maybe we'll see some improvement in those hastily shot news videos now.

iOS 4.3: Personal Hotspot, and the issue of connectivity
One of the more highly anticipated features of the recent Apple mobile operating system upgrade involves Personal Hotspots. This is a feature where you can use your iPhone's 3G data connection to create a mobile WiFi network, this will enable your PC, Mac, or iPad to get online when an open WiFi network is not available.

Again a big ripoff, what do you expect from a company like AT&T. I am under the unlimited plan and will not change. I also have a Verizon mifi card which I pay $54 a month for unlimited service. Would love to save that money but the AT&T plan would cost me $45 dollars so I might as well pay $10 a month and get unlimited service.
Again I hope everyone boycott's this greedy plan from AT&T.

I'm glad I did too, I ended up at the Imperial War Museum which is (supposed to be be) a short bus ride away to see the Cecil Beaton show. I've never been there before and was pretty impressed with how grand the building is, I also got there not long after they opened which I would highly recommend. No queues, no loud kids and especially no people trying to get you to move on because they want to see everything that you are looking at at the SAME TIME as you.
I was really impressed with the exhibition, I thought it was just going to be about his war photographs which it mainly was but they touched on his pre/post war career too. I certainly felt like I got to know more about him and seeing so many of his photographs in one place makes you realise just how good a photographer he was, like seriously. More then you already think.
I recognised so many of the war photographs and never even realised they were his until then, I was also quite amazed to learn that when he went off on a three month tour of the Middle East, he only took one camera and enough film for 10,000 photographs. One camera! I really like his style of shooting, it's very honest and he recognised the importance of photographing what was going on around him rather then going off to find something deemed more 'interesting' to photograph.
The exhibition was a decent size too, there was enough to read and see so I certainly felt it was worth the money.
After browsing round the rest of the museum I headed to the shop where I got these postcards. They also had them in larger prints for £7 which is a bargain, if I had a big enough kitchen I would have snapped them up.
Cecil Beaton: Theatre of War is on until January 1st and costs £8. Worth every penny.

Nowadays, some teachers are talking about ICT, "N" generation, e-tivities, social net working, among other new concepts in education; but actually most of the teachers and students , in my school context, do not have any idea about these terms and how education could be improved by creating new learning environments.
I think that we, the Master candidates, have the fortune of becoming the pioneers of real and effective changes in our schools. This course aims to empower participants to design new learning environments in order to teach more effective classes. Although it sounds very interesting and rewarding, it is a big challenge in most of Colombian public schools. For example, my students are a "little bit" technologically behind of other youngsters due the conditions and possibilities they are offered. Although most of them have an e-mail account and know how to chat or use Facebook, they do not know how to use the computer effectively, for academic purposes.
Last semester I had the opportunity to carried out my action research project about how to improve short story writing by using an e-portfolio with eleventh graders, but there were a lot of technological constraints we had to face in order to get the final results. I think that these difficulties have encouraged me to continue looking for new learning possibilities so I would like to learn more about these new learning environments and how to deal with those constrains effectively, in order to make the difference in my school and show other teachers that changes, in education, are possible.

Your doily is looks very spring-y and bright. Too bad you had to spend your day at the Dr's office but at least you had your chance at TIPping. I always leave all the ends somewhat long until I'm finished with a piece, less chance of them working their way out. But getting all of them on such a large piece will be a bit challenging.

The colours are so psychedelic. Great job.

I love your rainbow colors! I take my tatting with me to any/all appointments, and tat in public any time I'm out. I think they must learn that in med school - all of them seem to do that - talk to you when you're sitting there covered with something no bigger than a hanky....I'm with you - get it over with, THEN talk to me when I've had a chance to get dressed. ;-) At least the doily is big enough to help give you a little extra 'coverage.' ;-)

When I go in for that GYN exam, she always talks to me in the drape too. Saves them time, I guess.
I didn't TIP on Tatting Day, but I do it often. I go to lots of dr appts with my kids and spend the waiting room time with my shuttles.

the adventures of jacques coust-sew
My St. Moritz yarn and pattern arrived swiftly from Yarn Barn. a.k.a: "my expensive nervous breakdown in a box". hehehehe. i kid. really, i'm still looking forward to this event.
Instead of making a regular swatch, i decided to knit one of the adorable little baby mittens in the pattern book as a practice. I know, i screwed up the pattern a bunch of times. i didn't care. I zoomed right along, trying to get the rhythm of 2-color knitting. i finished the mitten before realizing i'd forgotten one, wee, little thing:
oops, no thumb!
i was so concerned with how lumpy, bumpy, and drawn-in the fair isle was turning out that i forgot i was supposed to be making a mitten. oh, well. it was just a test.
doesn't it look like some new species of strange, norwegian squid?

pros and cons of soyabean milk
All of us know that soyabean drink provides good protein to our body...
But many of us don't know that there are certain days we should avoid on the drink.
Soyabean drinks are best consume on hot sunny days where the sun is burning and glaring.
The soya milk will gives lots of nutrients to the body, as the body is able to absorb the protein well.
However, avoid the drink when the weather is cloudy or raining.
Taking the drink in these weathers, the body will not be able to take in the protein thus will result in a disease called "GOUT" or "high acidic urine" due to the high protein residue in the body, after a long
This disease will cause pain to your knee joints and it will only be in control when you control your food intake of proteins and medications.
The pain is unbearable and usually you will have no idea what you have taken to cause the pain.
Food like soya beans, ikan billis, broccoli, spinach, peanuts, animal organs ( i.e. pork liver) etc will have to be avoided to prevent the pain from attacking.
So my friends pass this to your family, relatives and friends to keep an alert of the pros and cons of soyabean milk and when it is to be taken and avoid.

Mothman: Russian-Style

Good news here, Nick...
Maybe they are "harbingers" of something---like they are thought to be.

Have you read Andrew Colvin's "The Mothman's Photographer II"?
He basically concludes that Mothman is a benevolent entity, but one that warns - rather than causes - re disasters.
I'm nearly finished reading it, and will be reviewing it here next week.

No, unfortunately I have not. I did read an article by him on Paranoia Magazine---I think I posted about it on one of your other threads about Mothman. He basically stated what you are stating---Mothman is not an evil monster but some sort good entity that warns of upcoming disasters. You should pick that up. Very good article.
Evidence seems to point to that---
on Paranormal State (which I don't ordinarily watch) they had a show on Mothman. The requisite psychic said he could sense the Mothman was not malevolent but basically was a messenger-type creature. Who knows...

Whatever the truth turns out to be, there's no doubt that Mothman is one of the strangest crypto/Fortean creatures out there.

When installing tile it can be easy to only focus on the pure aesthetics of the tile and the surrounding room, however if not properly installed lippage can occur.
Lippage is defined in the ANSI standard A108.02, Section 4.3.7 as the differences in elevation between edges of adjacent tile modules. These differences or perception thereof are influenced by many factors. Here are four common problems that arise during many routine installations.
Start on a Flat Surface.
The definition of a "large-format tile" is a tile with an edge of 15" or longer. When laying large-format tile, any imperfections in the substrate will be magnified.
When using large-format tile, it is important to use a substrate that is twice as flat as that for standard tile. Instead of using ¼" in 10' and 1/16" in 1' flatness requirement, you must now use 1/8" in 10' and 1/16" in 2' flatness.
Correctly Offset Your Grout Joint
Too often (especially when dealing with plank-shaped tiles) tile will be installed with a 50% offset. This puts the center of the tile on the adjacent tile's grout joint. This can amplify lippage issues as you are placing the two lowest points of the tile next to the high point of the adjacent tile.
According to ANSI A108.02 Section 22.214.171.124, offset the tile 33% to minimize lippage and still obtain a beautifully set pattern.
Use a Proper Grout Joint Size
Most often, using smaller grout joints can sometimes lead to more noticeable lippage.
Small grout joints should be no smaller than three times the facial variation. StonePeak recommends a grout joint of 1/8″ or greater for all sizes modular with 3/16″ grout joint (≈5 mm)
Many installations are done without a leveling system made for large or rectangular size tiles, relying on the experience and quality of the installer for the final result.
Today many companies offer self leveling systems to help installations
Use Proper Lighting
Be aware of your surrounding lighting. Any type of lighting located on or near the tile accentuates irregularities by casting shadows on the tile surface joints.
Locate light fixtures at least 24 inches away from the wall to prevent a "wall wash" effect.
For more information, visit the TCNA or NTCA websites.

(AP Photo/Eric Gay) View 2 more images (Newser) – Hurricane Gustav is a tropical depression once more but it is still a "very serious storm," Gov. Bobby Jindal said today. "We're not quite at halftime," he cautioned, noting the massive power outages, tornadoes, and heavy rains plaguing the state. "There is a lot, lot more work ahead of us." Evacuees will have to wait to return home, USA Today reports. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin agreed, telling evacuees to stay evacuated. "Every system—sewer, water, drainage—is on backup power," he said, but promised it would be "days, not weeks" before they could return. But in shelters, restlessness reigns, the AP reports. "People are desperate," said one evacuee. "They don't know if they are going to have a place to go home to." View 2 more images

This past week and a half has been about bringing life back into balance one step one day at a time. About sharing others' pain, and ultimately focusing on love and strength of spirit and life.
After this and a following storm passed through last week, and as soon as all that snow melted, I went in search for signs of spring.
and discovered baby columbine leaves poking through.
As well as iris leaves
and these soft little lambs ears
and catmint
Knowing that each of those little plants will overcome most of what nature will throw at them and will grow into this scene in a few short weeks is inspiring. It reminds me of faith and hope.
I discovered a few spring onions, garlic tops, chives, tarragon, and a very small amount of green thyme leaves
And made some spring herbal vinegar
I spent one day vacuuming, cleaning house, doing laundry, then made potato cheese soup with corn and cauliflower, turkey bacon and homemade croutons for dinner. It was a simple gift for my family so when they came home from work and school, there would be a clean home, clean clothes, candles lit and a comforting meal for dinner. Sometimes it's the simple things, the simple moments that bring a sense of balance to our everyday lives.
I reacquainted myself with my cookbooks
I made herbed kale chips, peppery sweet potato chips, and rosemary sweet potato chips...
I ground peppercorns
I played with my dog
I took care of the chicks daily and was again amazed at how fast they grow.
And spent some doctoring time as well. Yes, this deserves an explanation. ;) Tune in to the next post.
My heart still hurts for everyone in Boston and beyond. Living in fear and anxiety is not a choice I am willing to make, so with love and gratitude for this day and even the smallest of blessings, I will make the most of this gift of life.
"It takes both the sun and the rain to make a beautiful rainbow."

Long Beach, California (PRWEB) November 03, 2011
Local Long Beach Solar installation company Ameco Solar announces the launch of a new Residential Solar campaign that hits television channels across your neighborhood this month, and will run until Spring 2012. The 'DontBlowYourCash' ad campaign focuses on communicating the high cost of renting your power versus the low cost alternative: Solar for your home.
"With this message, we're reminding people how much they spend on renting electricity; and showing them how to go solar for little to no money out of their pockets." Ameco Solar owner Pat Redgate said. "
In Paramount, where the company is based, Ameco Solar is one of the very few elite solar companies that have been continuously providing solar energy for Californians since 1974. They install solar photovoltaic systems, solar hot water systems and embrace new technologies like hybrid solar systems.
The "DontBlowYourCash" campaign currently running emphasizes how much money a homeowner blows on energy bills, and how going solar doesn't have to cost any money out of your pocket. To stop blowing your money renting energy from your utility, visit their website: http://dontblowyourcash.com.
"We're hoping people realize that they have an energy choice: they can install solar power and start saving immediately, or they can keep blowing thousands of dollars renting their energy," said Ameco Solar owner Pat Redgate. "We really want to make people think about the money they spend on energy, and the choices they make about energy, and ultimately help them understand solar energy is the best investment they can make…for decades to come."
About Ameco Solar
Since 1974 Ameco has been dedicated to the concept that solar energy is the solution to our energy future. Solar energy is unlimited, non-polluting and free. We are committed to providing cost-effective and reliable solar systems and strive to offer the best components available. We believe that using solar energy is simply the best investment available to homeowners or businesses today, since the alternative to solar is just a never-ending monthly expense. Extensive Solar information can be found on their website: http://www.AmecoSolar.com.

UPDATE: Yahoo now mentions in their article that the performer was "gunned down" at a Chicago park.
A 15 year old girl who performed at President Obama's inauguration was shot to death in Obama's native Chicago.
Yahoo-This Week "As Congress holds a much-anticipated hearing on gun control, there was a disturbing reminder that gun violence in America never takes a break.... Since the school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, in December, more than 1,400 people have been killed in gun violence across the country."
Yahoo forgets to mention that the shooting happened in Chicago. They say the victim was from Chicago but doesn't mention she was shot in Chicago. Chicago happens to have one of the nation's strictest gun control laws. Gun shops are banned, there are no shooting ranges, assault weapons are banned. Hand-guns were banned until the Supreme Court overruled the law.
Despite their strict bans, Chicago is one of the most deadly places in the country with staggering shooting rates. But the media still holds the city up as a reason why we need more gun control... if they mention the city at all!

DENVER (CBS4) – It's the chance to sample a high-end restaurant for a bargain price. But you'd better act fast to celebrate Denver's culinary scene. Denver's Restaurant Week is once again actually two weeks — Feb. 26 through March 11.
Denver Restaurant Week's menus online Tuesday, but now is the time to make reservations.
Restaurant Week is unique because it opens up nearly 260 restaurants in the area for fine dining at a great price. It offers fixed priced menus at $52.80 for a couple and $26.40 for a single diner.
There are great restaurants like Cafe Brazil, Cru in Larimer Square, Gabriel's in Sedalia, Mizuna on 7th, McCormick's, and Schmick's in the Denver Tech Center, just to name a few. Others include The Palace Arms, Ships Tavern, Strings and 240 Union.
Big names, small places ,new menus and old reliables. They're all there to peruse and reserve.
Getting a reservation as soon as possible is important. Places like Elway's and Mizuna and Del Frisco's fill up quickly as people reserve restaurants they've always wanted to try.
Some restaurants are extending Restaurant Week right through March, making it the great deal that keeps on giving.

After setting out its stall well and truly from its fast-paced opening instalment, things quieten down a little for episode two of Highschool of the Dead - Well, for ten minutes or so anyhow.
After concentrating largely on the short-lived love triangle between Rei, Takashi and Hisashi, the opening half of this episode spends a fair amount of time introducing us a little more to other characters. For starters, it pairs up self-confessed (and decidedly bossy) genius Takagi with lardy otaku Hirano, while elsewhere school nurse Marikawa spends most of the episode as a walking breast gag as she finds herself defended by kendo club champion Saeko Busujima. Throughout the episode we flit between these oddball pairings (as well as Takashi and Rei) as they try to compose their plans for escape and beyond, finding that they're all rather effective in their own unique ways.
It's once these three duets begin their dance with death that the real fun of this episode begins, with a sequence of brief but high intensity bursts of action that are exhilarating to watch while still managing to carry with them the tension of the wider situation as a whole - A tension which is suitably ramped up in spine-chilling fashion come the end of the episode, as it becomes crystal clear that simply escaping the school grounds isn't going to be enough to survive.
If the first episode grabbed my attention, dumped me on the edge of my seat and wouldn't let go, then this second instalment certainly managed to do likewise - Yes, it started a little slowly, and Marikawa's appearance threatened to drag the whole thing into farce for a minute or two, but as soon as Takagi and Hirano started rifling through the school workshop for weapons while Rei and Takashi put a fire hose to good use we knew what we were going to get, and we got it in spades. Indeed, the action came so thick and fast for the second half of the episode that there was barely time for any underwear shots, leaving us with pure, unadulterated and captivating zombie slashing action that made perfect use of its characters to complement and even accentuate that action. There's nothing smart or original about Highschool of the Dead, that much is clear - But when watching this intensely visceral experience is so breath-taking, who cares?

Highschool of the Dead - Episode 2
Posted by Andy Hanley at 18:17
Labels: highschool of the dead
1 comment:
A brilliant episode. Its like watching Dawn of the Dead- same exhilirating action, bloody corpses, and our unlucky survivors but the added bonus of some Madhouse magic. The REALLY NOTICABLE fanservice and added plus of anime style makes it worth the wait.
I must say my fave character right now must be Lardbutt. His split personality, I find sexy (Female right here.) The manga does the bloody action scenes no justice. So watching an anime rendition is great.

Friend with ALS seeking drug in Italy.
So, my very, very, very close friend since I was 3 years old, Jeff Berebitsky got married a few years ago. He is the friend I would go to every dance with in high school because I was too awkward to actually date someone. His was the first phone number I memorized. We pranked called each other. When three way calling was invented we prank called everyone. Jeff and I share many things including being tortured by our older brothers, being small, wearing glasses from the age of 6, teaching the other kids in elementary school about sex and curse words. During that time there has been a lot of loss as well but also a lot of fun.
I met Jeff's wife for the first time the weekend of their wedding and I had to really hold it together. It's not often that you really see your friend meet the one, and Jeff had clearly met his one. The wedding was beautiful with a touch of granola.
So last April when I found out Jeff's wife had ALS I couldn't believe it. I thought my friend was lying to me. ALS is the same disease that become famous by Lou Gherig as well as the book Tuesdays With Morrie. It is the same disease Stephen Hawking has.
Jenni's prognosis is 2-6 years. She is a little younger than I am. They have a toddler Philip David.
Full email from Jeff:
As many of you know, my wife was diagnosed with ALS. And though right now she is healthy and vital, the disease does appear to be progressing at a pace we are unable to gage. With so few stricken with this disease there are not many resources dedicated to research and development. Right now there appears to be a single drug on the market that carriers legitimate hope of slowing and possibly reversing the affects. Unfortunately there is only one country, Italy, that has access. Due to patent infringement the drug, Iplex, is not allowed to be sold anywhere in the world except Italy. Please see this the following link on the background of this drug:
My interest in contacting you is not to change the law in this country, though it would be greatly appreciated:), but to find out if you know people/doctors in Italy or the US that might be able to help. We are interested in accessing the drug, if nothing else to slow the disease.
Please forward this request on to anyone that may be able to help along with any of your own thoughts.
Thank you!

Last Night I Dreamt of Mandibles
As a boy I had dreams I could fly
where I'd soar on a breeze through the sky
But now that I'm grown
all such fancies have flown
There's no joy in my green insect eye
Patricia Owens gazes into the eyes of The Fly (Kurt Neumann, 1958). Image source: DVD Beaver. Our 100th year anniversary tribute to the films of Vincent Price continues...apparently with or without Vincent Price! Thanks to David Cairns for dreaming up the title. Okay, film buffs, that title is a play on a famous opening line from what novel and film of the same name? And what is the actual line?

SOUTH BEND Â? As their beloved soldiers filed into formation, the reality began to set in. The hour was near.
One young boy held a sign that read "Good Luck Grandpa."
A man and a woman who looked to be in their late 40s held each other close. The woman mouthed a mute "I love you" at a member of the straight-faced unit.
One mother stood, resting her face in her hand, sobbing quietly. Every so often, she would look up to sneak a glance of her daughter standing at attention before burying her face once again.
"For the families," explained 1st Sgt. James Walkowski, "this is a real tough day."
More than 100 Army Reserve soldiers of the 855th Quartermaster Company were mobilized this morning for future deployment to Iraq.
Family and friends met at the Army Reserve Center on Boland Drive to send off their service men and women.
Before soldiers were called into formation, Spc. Kyle Farkas, 27, of Walkerton, and his family found a quiet spot near the corner of this big room.
His wife, Vicki, held his arm and crooked her head onto his shoulder. His three children, 4-year-old Ambria, 2-year-old Adrianna and 1-year-old Keegan, climbed on him like he was the best jungle gym on earth.
"IÂ?m going to miss my family," Farkas said softly. "ItÂ?s hard to think about leaving them for so long. They are hard thoughts."
As Farkas was leaving to take formation, he peeked back at his children, knowing the next time he sees them, some 400 days later, they could be twice as big.
This is the second time Palette Heatherly, of Mishawaka, has seen her daughter, Amber, off to war.
Sgt. Amber Heatherly, 23, already has a deployment to Kuwait under her belt. Her previous experience is little comfort to Palette, who struggles mightily to keep her emotions under control. ItÂ?s a battle she canÂ?t win.
"You never get used to it," Palette said, dabbing at her eyes with a tissue. "You try to stay positive, but all I can think is this is our final goodbye. ItÂ?s very hard."
For the next year, Palette said, she will always have her cell phone with her in case Amber calls.
Amber, meanwhile, was a beacon of strength for her family and co-workers who came to support her today. A 2003 graduate of Mishawaka High School, she smiled wide and held her brand new niece, Ava, next to her cheek while pictures were snapped.
Inside, though, Amber was also struggling to hold it together.
"ItÂ?s not any easier the second time," she said. "In fact, itÂ?s harder because you already know how long that year is. All you can do is look forward to the future and stay positive."
This is the first deployment overseas for about 40 percent of the 122 soldiers in the unit, which consists of men and women from Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. Soldiers from Chillicothe, Ohio, even received a police escort all the way to South Bend.
This mobilization was hardly a surprise. The unit has been preparing for months for this day.
"At this point, many of the soldiers want to get the deployment started so they can get home and move on with their lives," Capt. Robert Phelps said. "WeÂ?ve known about this deployment since July of last year. ThatÂ?s the hard part, because you have people who want to start families or go to school and now they have to wait. ThatÂ?s tough."
Phelps said that between 10 and 15 soldiers got married this past summer in anticipation of their deployment. One soldier, he said, just had twins who are still in the neonatal intensive care unit.
"There are a lot of tears," Phelps added, "when you have to say goodbye for a year."
The 855th will first report to Fort McCoy, Wis., for additional administrative processing and training. Once their training is complete, Phelps said, they will deploy to Iraq.
The unit is expected to support a field service operation mission on a small combat operational post. The unit will help establish and maintain laundry and shower services for U.S. troops.
As soldiers boarded idling Cardinal charter buses today, Cellie Lamey, of South Bend, shivered outside, taking whatever the blustery wind had to give.
Her husband, Spc. Joseph Lamey, 38, was on the first bus. It is his second deployment to the Middle East, but the first since they were married just seven months ago.
"For me, this is really hard," Cellie Lamey said. "ItÂ?s just so difficult for me to understand whatÂ?s going on over there."
Lamey paused for a second, took a deep breath and a quick glance at the heavens before finishing her thought.
"IÂ?m really proud of him," she said. "IÂ?m proud of all of them."

All these help. Just started watching The Big C and am enjoying the trend of quirky over-40 women on Showtime (Nurse Jackie, Weeds, The Big C) hanging on by an entertaining thread. I probably like Nurse Jackie the best because she gets sh*t done while palming her pills.
Be prepared to roll your eyes. Lindsay Lohan tested positive for booze, violating her parole but the testing period had expired so no jail for her and she gets to continue her house arrest. This seems like more of the same "celebrity justice" but then LL just sabotages herself. She'll never have a serious career, which means there's balance in the universe. Other stars (Charlie Sheen) seem far more dangerous and have eluded jail.
But then, I'm so perfect. Dish is about to enter a fortnight of hell, consisting of leaving the hermit-cave. So, I stayed home and gave myself a pedicure, ate a lot of popcorn and answered a phone call from TG, which came from the other room (like Justin Bieber, he needed a nap and was too tired to leave the bed). Funny thing that when you're busy, other stuff hits the fan from several directions. All will be better by July 4th.
Many people have it worse, like Glen Campbell who has come forth with his diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. Poor man and everyone else who suffers from this miserable disease.
I count my blessings right now. One blessing that could easily be granted would be for CNN anchor Don Lemon to fall head over heels for the irrepressible and gorgeous Langdon Bosarge of Langdon Nation.

Next point- Moving forward posts about the Bach will probably be their own entity in my blog. You also shouldn't expect them for a few weeks until I have developed either a loving connection or deep dislike with/for the ladies. Unless something unreal happens like oh, I don't know... A LADY FAKING PREGNANT. Freaking lunatic I tell you.
On a real note though. Juan Pablo's abs. And Arms. And back. Yeah. Oh and his daughter, how cute is she? I want to play with her so she can teach me spanish and Juan Pablo and I can fall in love. After I win over Camila Valentina of course. On another real note, it feels weird dropping "Juan Pablo" like it's normal but hey, this is pop culture.
Enjoy Fallan's baking during the next Bach episode and report back here or to my twitter (@pearls_sass) for analysis.

One should never "casually" modify schema definitions. back-bdb now stores the normalized attributes in the database, rather than normalizing repeatedly upon reading the database. If you change the case of schema definitions in between storing and reading an entry, and change the case of the attribute's canonical name, the copy in the database will no longer match the schema definition in memory.Assuming I've described the symptoms clearly enough (and I likely haven't), is this behavior a "bug" or is it just a demonstration of the kind of trouble that can occur with "casual" schema file modification?

The North Little Rock School District is working diligently to fulfill all the plans set forth in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and its leadership still believes the development of the entire CIP is achievable, according to Shara Brazear, a spokeswoman for the district.
"We are pleased to announce that we expect to receive $26 million from the State of Arkansas for our Capital Improvement Plan," Brazear said. "Although this isn't the full amount we requested, we are grateful for the State's allocation and are excited to proceed with our construction plans."
Brazear said district officials were extremely conservative three years ago when they projected bond rates, inflation rates and per-square-footage construction costs.
"All of these are presenting savings from our original estimates, so we will be able to begin Phase 1 of the plan, including building four new elementary schools (and demolishing the old ones) and beginning Phase 1 of a complete overhaul of the high school campus, which includes building two of the four Small Learning Centers and moving the stadium after football season."
The State of Arkansas did not approve the district's middle school construction project, but NLRSD will again be able to apply for this money in 2015, she said.
"Since the middle school projects were slated for Phase 2, later in the overall timeline, at best, this would only slightly delay construction efforts," Brazear said.
The process for collecting the state funds includes the District signing an agreement within 60 days with the State Facilities Division. Once that is done, five groups, as part of the State Facilities Division will have to approve the funding, she said.
"This approval process can take anywhere from 30-60 days," Brazear said. "Once these groups approve the agreement, we will receive a letter that lets us know we can begin to 'build up' – basically proceed with construction past the foundation stage. There is a formal appeals process for this funding, and we are currently considering our options for possible appeals, though no decisions have been made at this point."
Brazear said district officials are thrilled to get started on these construction projects that the NLRSD has been preparing for over the last year.
"Plans are now becoming reality as we have now signed contracts to begin foundation work at Amboy, Boone Park, Lakewood and Meadow Park Elementary schools. We have received bids on the high school and hope to sign this week," she said. "We will celebrate with official Groundbreaking events at all four elementary schools and the high school later this month."
All four of the elementary schools will be new construction with modern, state-of-the-art features in them that help strengthen the education process for the youngest students. The original construction timeline was June of this year start with a June 2014 finish, but this timetable will depend on how soon funding from the state of Arkansas is approved and secured, said Brazear.
"We are also beginning Phase 1 of a complete overhaul of the high school campus, which includes Building Two of the four Small Learning Centers and moving the stadium after football season. Additional Phase 2 projects will include building a new auditorium, cafeteria and the additional two Small Learning Centers," she said.
Phase 2 will also include the renovations of four schools – Crestwood Elementary, Indian Hills Elementary, Seventh Street Elementary and Ridgeroad Elementary.
Phase 2 projects will begin in Fall 2014 with the design process.

glue gun
I used a ruler to make my triangles
Trace triangles onto burlap/fabric and than cut, next, glue whatever your choice of jute or ribbon onto the triangles. I had some fabric left over from making a window shade and pillows so I used it to add some color to the banner by just cutting some strips and tying them onto the jute. Easy peezy!!!
this orange and the color of turquoise we decided to go with were a perfect combination

Well hello there!
I know it's been too long and to be honest I thought all of you have simply gone but I'm so glad you stayed :) My excuse is quite simple and uncomplicated, I just didn't feel like writing and I didn't want to force it. Simples.
But today is the day when I just feel like typing away.
So I've got so much to tell you. First of all, Happy Easter to you all lovely bunch and also I want to tell you what I've been up to recently.
Here in the UK we are blessed to have 4 days off from work and I've been really enjoying them so far, even though we are not blessed to have a nice weather but me and my other half went for a walk in our local park the other day and we had some fun.
The coat that I'm wearing is from H&M and I had it for absolute ages. Every time I go to shops I contemplate to buy a new one but I just find them a bit too expensive and always come back to this one. I do think it's looks a bit weird on me now, what do you think?
I was wearing my BB cream by The Body Shop, My lipstick is from Maybelline in colour 16, Mascara is by Elizabeth Arden and Face Powder is by Rimmel Stay Matte. I have to say I still got my embarrassing oily moments but the face powder makes everything better:)
We then decided to go to Brighton for a day. We've been wanting to visit this amazing place for a couple years now and even booked the hotel and tickets but then had to cancel last minute:( But not this time and even though we didn't stay for the night we still had a good time exploring this amazing town!
Everyone who has been to Brighton, kept telling how beautiful and unusual to any place in England it is. And let me tell ya, it's even more than that! I have never seen anything so cute, colourful and unusual in my life! But I have to say that traffic was terrible and parking prices are ?!?!?!?!? OMG, quite expensive but that didn't really matter when you're in such beautiful place like Brighton.
How are you spending your Easter bank holiday weekend? Do you prefer spending it at home or travel and see new places? I would love to know!:)
Enjoy the weekend everyone and I wish you all a Happy Easter!!!

The best thing about these little delights, was making them with my kids. It's a fun recipe for S'mores if you don't have a campfire handy!
The original recipe is from Pampered Chef, but when we made them we didn't use all of their fancy tools & whatnot. It was still super easy.
7 whole graham crackers (1 cup finely crushed)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted
4 bars milk chocolate candy, divided (I used Wilton's melting chocolates because I had a bag I wanted to use up & it worked great)
12 large marshmallows
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted
4 bars milk chocolate candy, divided (I used Wilton's melting chocolates because I had a bag I wanted to use up & it worked great)
12 large marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs using a rolling pin. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter in small bowl, stir until mixed well. Distribute crumb mixture evenly into each cup of a 24 cup mini-muffin pan. Press crumbs to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling. Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup. (Or 2 Wilton's melting chocolates. Also be careful of the hot pan.)
Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using scissors dipped in cold water. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup. Return to oven 2-3 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened. Remove from oven.
Now the Pampered Chef recipe says to let the cups cool then take the remaining chocolate, melt it in a bowl & dip the top of the marshmallow in it. But as you can see I did not do this. It was so much more fun & easier for my boys just to plop a piece of chocolate on the top of the marshmallow as soon as it came out of the oven. It melted a little bit & then cooled & it worked out perfectly! After they've cooled, run a butter knife around the edges of them & they pop right out of the pan!

The New York State Fair announced Def Leppard will be playing a concert at the Mohegan Sun Grandstand during this year's fair, as part of the "30th Birthday Bash" for Citadel rocker 95X (WAQX Manlius).
The fair and concert promoter LiveNation say tickets will go on sale this Saturday at noon. Prices will be $39.50 and $49.50, depending on where you want to sit.
Strangely, it looks like 95X's own promotions department is asleep at the wheel. When we visited the station's homepage, there was nothing about a 30th Anniversary celebration. Here's what WAS listed as of 7:30pm Monday (nearly 3 hours after the announcement was made by LiveNation).
Over at the radio-info.com message boards, there's been some speculation of 95X flipping formats, given the station's recent ratings performance (or lack thereof). Given today's announcement, we're guessing anything along those lines won't happen until after August, if ever.

One thing that has been eating away at me throughout this whole health care debate is the incredible hypocrisy and role reversal of both political parties compared to the Medicare Part D debate. The basic, highly corrupt design of the Senate health care bill is the same as the highly corrupt design as the Medicare Part D program.
Just think about the similarities. Both were meant to address serious problems—for the Medicare drug program, seniors unable to afford life-saving medication, and, with today's legislation, people unable to afford health insurance. And, in both cases, instead of solving the problem in the cheapest, most direct way by having Medicare just provide these groups with what they need, a wasteful, convoluted, "market" system was created to use the program to enrich industry players and unneeded middlemen.
Medicare Part D
In Medicare Part D, seniors must select a private health insurance plan on an exchange to provide them with prescription drug coverage. This allows the drug makers to get away with charging higher prices than if the government directly negotiated for the medications, and enriches completely unnecessary private health insurance middlemen. The system heavily subsidizes both industries in this wasteful structure, costing taxpayer's billions.
The marketplace is poorly regulated, and the choice of plans is incredibly confusing. The bill did not allow for proven cost-savers like drug re-importation or a "public alternative" by having Medicare directly negotiate for drug prices.
The Senate health care bill
In today's Senate bill, regular people will be forced to select a private health insurance plan on poorly regulated exchanges with a confusing array of packages. This will allow care providers, hospitals, and drug makers to get away with charging much higher prices than if the government directly provided the insurance through Medicare, and enriches completely unnecessary private health insurance middlemen. The system will heavily subsidize the health care industries in this incredibly wasteful structure, costing taxpayer's hundreds of billions of dollars.
Don't forget Billy Tauzin
One of the biggest complaints Democrats had about Medicare Part D was the influence then Republican Rep. Billy Tauzin had in writing the bill. He worked with the drug lobby (PhRMA) to make sure the bill existed primarily as a massive giveaway the drug industry by keeping out drug re-importation and Medicare direct drug price negotiations. The lack of these two provisions until recently were the two big complaints Democrats had about Medicare part D, and a big part of why almost every Democrat said they voted against the bil. The promise to fix these two problems featured prominently in Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
Guess what? Billy Tauzin, this time in his role as head lobbyist for PhRMA, had a huge role in writing this Senate health care bill. He again assured the bill would be a massive giveaway to drug companies by cutting a secret, backroom deal with Obama to keep out drug re-importation and direct Medicare price negotiation. In addition, this time, Tauzin also won another big giveaway to the brand name drug makers by securing an extremely long exclusivity period for biologic drugs.
So similar, the two programs could be twins
If there is a real policy or ideological difference between the design of the two programs, I fail to see it. Both use corrupt, poorly designed exchanges (which have been proven to not control costs) that make people choose only among a small assortment of wasteful, private health insurance policies. Both programs would actually do some small amount of social good (help some senior citizens afford medication then, and help some regular Americans afford insurance now), but at the huge cost of using a shockingly wasteful setup, which will cost taxpayers and participants something like 20-60% more than it should if done with a simple, straightforward public program. Both programs also just further enrich, empower, and entrench the private health insurance industry, making real reform even harder in the future.
What I don't understand is how so much of the media will let Republicans pretend to have some ideological problem with a health care bill of basically the same design as the Medicare Part D setup that they created. What I also can't understand is how "liberal" organizations can now tell Democrats in Congress that they must vote for a health care bill that contains all the same terribly corrupt problems they rallied against when they tried to take down Medicare Part D.
Why was it great when progressives in Congress voted against Medicare Part D, but they are now being called monsters for objecting to the Senate health care bill on the exact same policy grounds? I suspect this sort of inconsistency plays a large part in the cynicism most American's feel with regards to Congress and national governance, in general.

Memphis - Hot House, Tepid Treats
6541 Hollywood Blvd.
Hollywood, CA 90028
The Event: Nuttin' spesh. Just dinner time with my Man.
Memphis took over the famed Janes House about two or so years ago. The house is the only residential gem left in movie-land, and it's a stunning Victorian. The restaurant crew wisely chose to restore the home, and it's seriously worth a trip just to spy the lush interior. There's a large outdoor patio, a cozy downstairs bar, and little alcoves of dinner rooms on the top level. The walls are smothered in crimson, textured fabric, and the whole place has a time-warp appeal. Classy, elegant, romantic. It's also very reminescent of the Victorians in New Orleans' Garden District. Seems like a fine place to have a fine cajun meal. Mmmm hmmm.
This was my fourth trip to Memphis. None of the meals have excited me, but I live in the area, and felt a strange inclination to give it one more try. I am such a damn glutton. The service, as usual, was courteous but spotty, and at times molasses-slow. All that Memphis really has going for it is the stellar ambiance. The rest is a world of ho-hum.
Two unremarkable martinis. Weak.
The highlight! Somewhat yummy cornbread and warm crusty traditional offerings.
Appetizer: FRIED CALAMARI
Fried Calamari with a Spicy Marinara
- Cornbread crusted and well cooked, this had little spice and a very, *very* standard and somewhat runny sauce. Yawn yawn yawn.
Entree 1 (Mine): BBQ SALMON
Photo above
Seared Salmon with BBQ sauce, rice, and asparagus
- Well now, this wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The salmon was cooked well and defintely tasted premium, but the rice was a world of no and the BBQ sauce as boring as a Rocky sequel. Blah. Too sweet, too flat. Even Tony Romas kicks this sauce's behind.
Entree 2 (Companion's): BBQ RIBS
BBQ Pork Ribs
- Served with bland cole slaw, this was also less impressive than a chain offering. Nothing about Memphis is full-on horrendous, but the price points don't warrant such woefully mediocre food. Neither does this glorious house.
Words to the food-wise - Hit Memphis as a cocktail haven, not an eatery. Soak up the vibes with a Vodka Red Bull and relish how smart you are not to waste moolah and calories on spiceless cajun creations.
Damage for 2 martinis, 1 appetizer, and 2 entrees: about $80.

Adorable Cat Exercises With Human In A Hilarious Way
by Anna Halkidis
It's no secret that our pets want to be involved in almost everything that we do.
Whether it's just lounging around the house, taking a stroll outside, or participating in our favorite hobby, our pets usually want to be right by our side doing it with us.
I mean, who could forget about the dog who does yoga with his owner? It's pretty incredible to watch them in action.
What happens in the video below is just a little more proof of the incredible bond between humans and pets. It's also a little bit more unbelievable to watch what this pair does.
The short clip shows a man doing some pole dancing exercises along with a feline. It might be hard to believe, but the adorable little cat has some pole dancing techniques of his own. He's probably a lot better than most! Just wait till you see his little moves.
"My sweet snow bengal doing pole dancing with my brother… I was so surprised," the cat's owner, Jeannine Wilkerling, wrote on YouTube. "Hope you like it."
