Coming out of nowhere ... Pope Benedict is set to resign due to health reasons on February 28, according to multiple reports.
The news was first broken by Italian news agency ANSA, which put the following banner at the top of its site, specifically saying that the Pope would leave the Pontificate.
Other news organizations quickly confirmed the news.
Kelly Evans of CNBC cites Dow Jones.
Vatican confirms to DJN: Pope will resign on Feb. 28. Wow. — Kelly Evans (@Kelly_Evans) February 11, 2013
Then a full statement was released by the Vatican, confirming that the Pope will resign on the evening of February 28, due to ill health.
While this is a surprise, it's not completely out of nowhere.
The Pope's resignation was actually speculated about early last year, due to his declining health.
This is the first papal resignation since 1415.
Last year, Michael Brendan Dougherty put together a guide on who will likely be the next pope >

A Remembrall is a large marble sized glass ball that contains smoke which turns red when its owner has forgotten something. It turns clear once whatever was forgotten is remembered.[1]
Known Remembralls
Neville Longbottom received one as a gift from his Gran at the beginning of the 1991–1992 school year. As soon as he held the Remembrall in his hand for the first time, it turned red, indicating he had forgotten something. The problem was he could never remember what it was that he had forgotten.[1]
It was this particular Remembrall that drove Harry Potter into his career as the Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. When Neville Longbottom accidentally flew into the air in his first flying class, he left it behind when he crashed and broke his wrist. Draco Malfoy took it and threw it high into the air. Harry Potter chased it and caught it just as it was about to smash on the ground. Professor McGonagall saw everything, and was convinced that Harry's natural affinity for flying would serve him well as Gryffindor's new Seeker.[1]
Remembralls were also banned in the O.W.L.s because they would be used to cheat. They were banned in the examination hall, along with other items that could be used for cheating, such as an Auto-Answer Quill.[2]
On the Hogwarts Express on 1 September, 1995, Neville asked Harry to guess what he had gotten for his birthday. Harry suggested that it might have been another Remembrall, thinking of the gift that Neville had gotten in his first year. The actual gift he received was a Mimbulus Mimbletonia, but he said that he could use another Remembrall, because he had lost the old one "ages ago".[3]
Behind the scenes
- Remembralls are available for purchase at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter as a novelty toy.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, rather than merely taking Neville's Remembrall up in the air and dropping it, Draco throws it to a pair of gargoyles, whom Harry then destroys while airborne. The ball then falls into the clutches of a giant flowered plant and Harry casts spells at the three flowers to make them launch the ball into the air. Only then does Harry make the airborne catch that he does in the novel.
- In Pottermore Rememberalls are available at Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley for 14 Galleons.
- In several Harry Potter video games, a Remembrall serves as a in-universe justification for having a list of tasks to give the player that must be completed to further the game. Though this is a non-canon depiction, as the Remembrall only shows that the user has forgotten something, but not what has been forgotten.
- On a similar note, Neville Longbottom is shown in the PC version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to remember various things via his Remembrall (such as where Trevor was located), despite his admitting that the Remembrall was useless as he doesn't even remember what he's forgotten.

Global warming and need to insure against surprises
Postponing action on climate change will make the problem more expensive to manage later – if it can still be managed at all. That's the message of a new White House report on fighting global warming, released Tuesday.
Dealing with climate change is a matter of managing risk. As the report says, it's a question of insurance, which every voter understands. You insure your house against fire not because you are certain it will burn down but to guard against the risk that it might. Yes, climate change involves various costs known with reasonable confidence – but it also creates big risks. It's only rational to insure against them.
The frightening thing isn't that gradually rising temperatures will cause gradually rising costs. It's that climate change may take us by surprise. The report lists many possible "abrupt impacts." For instance, the sea level may rise higher and faster than expected if rising temperatures destabilize the West Antarctic ice sheets; melting permafrost may cause a sudden release of greenhouse gases, causing global warming to accelerate; fragile ecosystems may be irreversibly disrupted by subtle climate triggers, threatening food and water supplies.
None of these things is bound to happen, and these known unknowns, let's call them, can't easily be quantified. But only a fool would ignore them for that reason. If, at modest cost, these risks can be reduced, it would be stupid to do anything else.
Effective measures to reduce the risks by slowing and then reversing the growth of global greenhouse-gas emissions needn't be costly. Some, like the proposed new rules on emissions from U.S. power plants, produce substantial net benefits regardless of climate change. Done right, carbon abatement is cheap insurance against catastrophic risk – too good a bargain to pass up.
The new report explains this logic well enough. The trouble is, this way of thinking isn't amenable to simple numerical proofs. To meet this perceived need, the report also piles on the figures: Delaying mitigation by a decade would increase total costs by approximately 40 percent. If delay caused temperatures to rise by 3 degrees Celsius instead of by 2 degrees, that would increase the global damage by almost 0.9 percent of world output. The next degree of temperature rise would add 1.2 percent of global output to the cost. And so on.
It's right to weigh these costs as best one can. And the report is honest, on the whole, about the many debatable assumptions that lie behind such estimates. Measuring the costs of climate change necessarily involves heroic guesswork. Measuring the costs of a delayed response is just as hard. (Who knows how quickly new technologies will reduce the cost of carbon abatement? Conceivably, if those costs were to fall very rapidly, delay might make economic sense.) The result, unfortunately, is that people inclined to dismiss the case for action will have no trouble ignoring the numbers.
The most effective argument for action on climate change isn't that we know for sure what will happen; it's that we don't. The only smart strategy is to insure against it.

MONTPELIER — The Vermont House on Tuesday voted 77-63 in favor of a bill that would allow organic farmers to seek damages from the manufacturers of genetically modified seeds, if those products taint their crops through pollen drift or some other accidental event.
The controversial measure is far from a done deal, however. It now requires Senate approval, after which it would require the signature of Vermont Gov. James Douglas, a Middlebury Republican.
Douglas administration spokesman Jason Gibbs minced no words on Wednesday when asked whether the governor would support the House-passed measure.
MIDDLEBURY — Work crews soon will launch the first of what will be two of the busiest municipal construction seasons in Middlebury's history, with reconstruction of Seminary Street; replacement of water/sewer infrastructure along College Street; and installation of better signalization on Court Street highlighting this year's projects.
"The next few years will be kind of painful, but once we're done, we should be set for a couple of years,� Middlebury Director of Operations Dan Werner said.
Work is scheduled to get under way later this month, when Tom Vanacore & Co. of Bridport begins the last phase of masonry work on the Battell Bridge in downtown Middlebury. The company has already completed filling cracks between the large stone blocks that make up the bridge's three massive arches. Crews this spring will perform the same kind of work on the bridge railings on both sides of Main Street.

My Natural Getaway!
I'll Go Natural!
Hectic in San Francisco? Over-crowded in San Diego? I'd rather go to a tranquil place that provides the ultimate balm – an environment that is relaxed combined with a great dives and white sand for a luxury feeling but with a cheap price for a natural getaway.
I love to go for a cheap but first rate dive spots. Behold and enjoy dolphin and whale sightings. In addition to an experience to see hammerhead sharks that shoal around the clear waters. Cool!
For a nature communing activities on the luxury island that link me to natural attractions and natural activities like hiking, trekking, camping and mountain biking. It's like am caught in the web of time travel. That is part modern and part tradition. Here, the people are so kind and accommodating. That is why time has been kind to its people too. People assimilate what we urbanites are enjoying without disregarding or without destroying the old, the luxury link to nature and tradition.
Gosh! Of all my travel, this is my first time to see a 16th century coral stone church. With an interior that has life-like murals painted on the ceiling. It's awesome! With a well that can still be seen in the church. This is the main source of water for the people in the church vicinity and for those on a travel.
This is the real magic that is a link to nature or should I say a link to natural luxury.

Cat drinks over 32oz a day, pees constantly.
Hello All,
I've decided to seek advice online regarding my male 8 yr old long-hair mixed cat, Socrates.
The story is long, and a bit convoluted. I appreciate the time taken to read this!
Three years ago, our cat Socks, started drinking A LOT of water. Somewhere between 32oz and 48oz in 24 hours. This same month, he caught fleas. He was an indoor cat at the time, and we got the fleas from our neighbours.
He had a pretty bad infestation by the time we put two and two together (I'd never seen/had fleas before, and he was indoor so we never thought...) and brought him to the vet, for two things. Flea medication and a check-up regarding the excessive drinking and urination.
Although the fleas are gone (and have never come back - Revolution!) he still drinks excessive amounts of water. We've taken him to two different Vets, both of which have completed urinalysis (regular and sterile) and bloodwork for diabetes etc.
Neither vet has been able to come up with a diagnosis. He's had antibiotics (out of desperation) and more visits and blood work than I can begin to list. His kidneys seem fine, despite the fact that he's unable to concentrate his urine. As it stands right now, we have him on 6mnth check-ups, and he's doing well.
Our current Vet advised that we make sure to keep water around at all times...which we do, he's got two 'watering holes'. We are not allowed to deny him the water in case it could cause some unforeseen problems.
Here are my concerns...
1) Poor thing is peeing so many times a day (8 or more) that he's fed up with it I'm sure.
2)Long term, this has to be detrimental for him (?!). The stress on the kidneys...everything. It just seems terrible.
3) A 15kg of litter lasts us only one week. We're cleaning the box twice a day, and have to do a complete 'change-over' every few days....If not, he pees outside the box (understandable I suppose, poor thing spends half his day in there). It's expensive, and really just crazy. Bags and boxes of litter everywhere.
Has anyone heard of such a thing before? Any advice, at all?
Thank you,

Does your cat food have a high sodium content? That could make your cat thirsty . Or does the water in your city have a lot of sodium in it?
Welcome to the board, I'm sorry to hear of your troubles with Socks. There's a good number of cat knowledgeable people on the site. Hopefully somebody will be able to shed some light on your problem, but one thing they'll want to know is what the cat is fed wet, dry or homemade, if he's on commercial what is the brand? Have you tried changing food types?
Has Diabetes Insipidus ever been mentioned as a possibility? This is different from Diabetes Mellitus (aka sugar diabetes): http://www.vetstreet.com/care/diabet...ipidus-in-cats

In the last decade, an area of Amazon rainforest the size of Bangladesh has been destroyed.
Benetton commissioned me to photograph some of the 17 million people that the World Food Program (WFP) feeds. The images from the famine in Ethiopia in the early 80's had a big affect on me while growing up, but since then we seem to have become desensitized to images of poverty- their worlds seem so far away from ours in the west.
I decided to take my mobile studio- and take away the exotic backdrops and present them as people. Also interested in how the WFP uses food to get people to change their lives, I traveled to Sierra Lione, Afghanistan and Cambodia.

Tech Enrollment Reaches New High Of 2,100
UPDATE: SOCORRO, N.M. August 28, 2012– New Mexico Tech once again has a record-setting student population this year, with 2,100 students enrolled. Last year's official total was 2,009.
The figures are unofficial, as of Tuesday, August 28. The official fall enrollment will be set on "census day," which is Friday, Sept. 7. The undergraduate population has grown 11.4 percent from last fall.
Tech has 483 new students, including 373 freshmen and 110 transfers. The total undergraduate population is 1,626. Tech has 485 graduate students, including 90 new grad students. Last year, the number of new undergraduate students was a then-record 416. This year marks a 16.6 percent increase from last year.
Mike Kloeppel, Director of the Admission Office, said he and his staff haven't made drastic changes to their recruiting methods. They have made minor changes and focused on consistency. Recruiters have taken to using email more often and Tech has developed online registration.
"Overall, everyone is just doing their job," he said. "We could get eight students from Seattle this year and next year we may get just one. There's no real rhyme or reason for why more students are coming here geographically."
Tech has growing enrollment from all main areas: Albuquerque metro, the rest of New Mexico and out-of-state students, Kloeppel said.
Melissa Jaramillo-Fleming, Vice President of Student and University Relations, said Tech is enjoying a nationwide trend of more students opting for studies in engineering, science and technology.

Most if not all theists believe atheism to be a choice. To them it is something you can choose to accept or reject. Therefore, to the typical theist, if you become an atheist, you have chosen to be one. If you leave atheism, then you have chosen to leave it. While this second argument is most likely true. The person who decides to abandon atheism for theism has most likely made a choice. The person who becomes a theist has usually made a choice. [except in the case of young children raised as theists, who are almost always too young to make this choice.] However, is it true that a theist who converts [or more accurately "deconverts"] to atheism, really chosen to be an atheist? I don't think so.
For me, I certainly did not have a choice in becoming an atheist.
Although I am now quite happy as an atheist... when I first lost my faith, I wanted SOO BADLY to go back to it.
Being raised as a typical theist, I held the erronious belief that if I simply went to church and prayed hard enough, then Jesus would answer me and turn me back to him and away from my sin of "rejecting him." - Amazingly, I was so badly brainwashed at this time, that I didn't realize that I didn't choose to become an atheist, that it just happened, I thought that "I was being sinful and turning away from God, or God was "testing me."
So... I went to church and prayed, and begged, and sang praises, and through my heart and "soul" into trying desperately to find my way back to Jesus.
Certainly I tried hard enough, but the "light of God" never touched me, I was outcast.
So, does one "choose" atheism...
I doubt it.

Ala. man accused of setting ex-girlfriend on fire
MIDFIELD, Ala. - An Alabama man has been accused of dousing his ex-girlfriend in gasoline and lighting her on fire.
Jefferson County sheriff's spokesman Randy Christian says 48-year-old Michael Kennedy was arrested Monday afternoon on charges of domestic violence and attempted murder.
Investigators have said Kennedy had been dating the 49-year-old woman, who recently ended their relationship. Sgt. Jack Self said witnesses told investigators Kennedy returned to the woman's house in Birmingham on Sunday morning and lit her on fire after an argument.
Authorities have said the woman suffered burns to her head, arms, upper body and legs, and is hospitalized in serious condition.
According to jail records, Kennedy is being held on $60,000 bond. The records didn't indicate whether he had an attorney.

I've found myself in an odd position this last week. I'm in between projects and have some free time, so I've been messing around with the Internet. After catching up on emails and link exchanges I've begun trying various short-term promo efforts and attempting to gauge their success rates.
Here are some things I've found.
Book Trailers - Four days ago I uploaded a book trailer I made for my latest Jack Daniels novel, Fuzzy Navel. You might want to reread the original blog post (from August 1) because I just added some thoughts to it. While I wouldn't call the trailer hugely successful, it's been seen several hundred times and I've gotten several dozen favorable responses on it. The trailer cost nothing to produce, and only took about an hour to shoot and edit, and right after posting here, on my website, and on MySpace and Facebook, my Amazon numbers spiked from 50,000 to 10,000.
Let me reiterate that Amazon doesn't sell that many books, so this uptick only accounted for a few extra sales. But these were sales I didn't have prior to the trailer, and they cost me nothing but a little time.
Videos also have a lobster trap effect---a lobster pot, left in the ocean, is an eternal killing machine. Lobster crawls in to get bait, dies, becomes bait for next lobster. A video can keep killing for years. My Hermes the Bat video has had thousands of hits, and I still get email about it on a regular basis.
My question for you folks is: Should I post this video on Amazon? Too silly and unprofessional, or irreverent enough to make some new fans?
For those who've never read it, my Amazon blog is HERE. It is viewable by anyone who looks at one of my books, and videos can be uploaded.
Facebook - I've begun to approach Facebook with the same verve I approached MySpace with a few years ago. This means that every day I'm inviting a few dozen people to befriend me, I'm replying to messages and email, and I'm adding to my profile so it isn't so bare-bones.
I confess I don't really "get" a lot of the Facebook standbys, like pokes and the many little applications, which seem a lot like passing notes in grammar school. But other people seem to dig it, and as writers we need to go where the people are. Like your website, your Facebook page should be sticky. This means you have things to offer rather than things to sell, and the two main things you can offer are information and entertainment.
I'll report on Facebook again in the upcoming weeks as I play with it .
MySpace - I'm really liking MySpace lately. Back when I first joined, I bought a program called Friendblaster Pro for a few bucks, which assists in sending out Friend Requests. Then the administrators got tough on spammers and began to force Captcha codes on bulk requesters, and I tapered off.
But the fact is, even with Captcha codes, Friendblaster is still much faster than adding friends one at a time. Plus, Friendblaster can also send out messages and comments in bulk.
In The Newbie's Guide To Publishing Book, in the Internet section, I listed a few of my MySpace bulletins. A bulletin is an post that is viewable by all of your friends. I've found them to be an effective way to get the word out about upcoming events or announcements.
But I believe that bulk comments are even more effective. When you leave a comment, it appears on your friend's page, for others to read and click on. This is like placing your ad on billboards across town, as many as 500 a day (the limit MySpace allows.)
Yesterday, as an experiment, I used Friendblaster to harvest the addresses of my friends who have commented on my MySpace page. Then I used Friendblaster to post this comment on their pages:
Just stopping by to say hi.
Okay, that's a big lie. I'm really sending you this because I want you and people who look at your page to buy my books.
There. I said it. You're just a cheap promo opportunity for me. I'm even using a bot to send out hundreds of these comments rather than taking the time to contact you personally.
But I also love you. A lot. You're my very favorite MySpace friend. Really. Thank you for being you.
My latest book is Fuzzy Navel.
I sent this out to 300 people. Took about an hour of sitting in front of the computer, occasionally punching in a Captcha code. My efforts resulted in over fifty comments and emails in reply, all favorable, and another spike in my Amazon numbers.
A huge success? No. But not bad for an hour of work, which wasn't really work because I was on the computer anyway.
Pictures - My website is currently being overhauled, and I was wondering what to do about the three pages of photos I have up there. The pages take a while to load, and I believe three pages is too many--my goal is to streamline my site and make it easier to navigate. So I bounced around the net and discovered www.Slide.com.
If you want to post pictures on your site, blog, MySpace, etc. this is the easiest way to do it. It's also free.
I'm going to pop this onto my website, along with another one that features all of my book covers, plus a viewer for my Youtube videos, a few Google videos of old college movie projects, and a Guestbook, also courtesy of Slide.com. So three pages of pics becomes a single multi-media page that actually loads quicker.
If you've found any cool or effective net promo ideas or gadgets, let me know...

The men's squash team swept Cornell 9-0, their fourth such victory over the weekend during the Yale Round Robin. The Bulldogs also beat Stanford, Denison, and Dartmouth by the same score in preparation for their biggest match of the season against No. 1 Trinity this Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
Typically, the Elis' biggest Ivy opponents are Harvard and Princeton, but Trinity represents the top competition in the country. The Bantams are perennial national champions, and are currently ranked No. 1 in the nation, with Yale right behind as No. 2.
"This is a huge match for us and we've been preparing all season," said Josh Schwartz, who is currently playing second behind sophomore Julian Illingworth.
The match will take place on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. at the Brady Squash Center.

Michigan Tech newspaper
"We had a lot of people interested, but most of them wanted to write anonymously. They thought it was too much of a risk."
Megan Walsh, one of the student editors of Beyond the Glass Ceiling, talks about attempts to establish a base of writers last year as the publication was being launched. If you wonder why we need a feminist publication on campus, for Walsh, the request for anonymity answers it.
"That alone tells me we need to do this."
Beyond the Glass Ceiling is the successor to the former TechnoBabe Times, a publication largely housed in the humanities department a decade ago. Graduate student Katie Snyder wanted to revive the tradition, with encouragement from faculty, leading to the new publication.
Two issues have been published to date, with much more work planned for this fall. "We want to do at least one a month, " Walsh says. "We'd like them all to be themed, so one could be about technology, another business. There are a lot of opportunities."
Katie Snyder, a PhD candidate in Rhetoric and Technical Communication, helped get the publication up and running. "We started this because we wanted to provide a forum for feminist discussion on campus, " she says.
On a campus where there are still whispered jokes about MRS degrees and the gender imbalance in certain programs (though Tech can rightly boast about progress in addressing this imbalance), Snyder sees the opportunity for Beyond the Glass Ceiling to make a difference.
"Tech continues to evolve toward gender balance, but we have a long way to go, " she says. We all know there are still far fewer women on campus than men—it's definitely an issue that's on the minds of many students. For some students it's not a big deal, or it's a standing joke; for others, it's a serious problem. We thought the newspaper would be a good way to bring the issue out into the open: discuss it, work toward resolving it."
What can a small publication do? The hope is, like the women's initiatives of the Admissions Office, to keep pushing towards balance, no matter how long it takes. "Our hope is that the newspaper can facilitate some positive change on campus, " Snyder says. "We'd like to support students who feel alone or left out, offer a venue for feature writing from diverse perspectives, provide a forum for debate. We're hoping to create a community that invites greater diversity, fostering greater creativity and innovation. Everyone benefits, really."
For Walsh, the opportunities to move beyond just a publication seem tantalizing. "We're hoping to bring Andrea Gibson up here for a performance, " she says. "It would be nice to expand to movie screenings, workshops and the like. Anything to keep the discussion going. The publication is just part of the organization."
Snyder sees that there's a lot of work to be done, but she's undaunted. "It's idealistic, sure. But worth pursuing."
The organization maintains an active Facebook presence announcing meetings, events and publications.
Michigan Technological University ( is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

Naked and scared has turned into semi-clothed and kind of spooked.
In southeastern Pennsylvania, a Halloween attraction's heavily publicized plan to allow guests to go through one of its haunted houses in the buff was revised Thursday amid opposition from local officials.
Shocktoberfest, a popular seasonal attraction outside Reading, promoted the "Naked and Scared Challenge" as a way for thrill-seekers 18 and over to "expose" their fears and phobias by wandering through a haunted house completely nude.
But owner Pat Konopelski said officials in nearby Spring Township and Sinking Spring borough told him they weren't comfortable with it. So, for now, he has agreed to require guests to wear underwear.
Konopelski said he hopes to work it out with municipal officials and offer an all-nude option next year.

We love the automotive aftermarket, but compared to James Glickenhaus we're pretty lame with our little mods and custom touches.
If you've been following his exploits on his website or his Facebook page, then you know about his project to improve upon Ferrari with his P4/5 Competizione (which at one point had an approved Ferrari badge that was later removed upon request).
This one-of-a-kind "Ferrari" finished first in its class at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring and could've been the most expensive car on the planet if Glickenhaus had taken the $40-million offer to sell it to a Saudi royal family member.
Watch the Bloomberg profile about a true car guy. Amazing what you can do with unparalleled passion and a very large bank account.
Boy, we wish we had his bank account!
The rough ridin' 15-minute spot also follows Glickenhaus' transformation from film director to money manager — and eventually to Ferrari collector and the great mind behind the P4/5.

Computer Technology of 1984
Let's take a look at the state of technology in 1984. For starters, Richard Stallman began work on the GNU project and his vision of open software, and the Macintosh is introduced by Apple Computer; both in January of that year. Other popular home computers of the time included the Commodore 64, the IBM PC and PCjr (which was released in 1984), and the Apple II.
The home video game market seemed to be on the decline, as popularity of the Atari 2600 was waning, and the Nintendo NES was destined to be launched the following year. However, Atari would go on to launch a series of home computers that, along with the Commodore Amiga, would create a cult following. And with the Nintendo launch the following year, the home video game market was re-energized. For more information on that subject, I recommend a book titled Racing the Beam, by MIT Press. I just finished reading it and found it fascinating and inspiring as a programmer.
In terms of big iron, by 1984, Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC) VAX systems were in full swing, and had supplanted all of DEC's work on its PDP systems. Although there were VAX systems that qualified as mainframes, and competed with IBM's mainframes that were still popular at the time, the VAX helped usher in the age of the minicomputer. This also includes Sun Microsystems, who around this time was taking the industry by storm with its Sun workstations running Unix. Workstations and minicomputers running different flavors of Unix would eventually supplant DEC's VMS OS, but in 1984 the computer hardware and software landscape was quite varied -- perhaps the most varied in the history of computer technology.
The Big '90s
Yes, I know the real phrase is the big '80s, but for me, in terms of computer technology, it was the 1990s that were big. This is the time I began my career as a programmer, and I had access to seemingly unlimited computing resources. I began my career at Reuters on Long Island, developing foreign exchange trading system software. The development labs I had access to were filled with PCs of all types, Digital workstations and mini computers, and even exotic computers such as NeXT Cubes and Silicon Graphics workstations.
The trading system I worked on had a large DEC VAX mainframe at its heart that performed all of the central processing and matching – we referred to it simply as The Host. One day I asked how much memory was in the Host, and was truly shocked when I was told it was 512MB. The size, the cost, the potential -- all truly shocking. Soon after, I was allowed to go into the data center to see the monster in person, and was in awe at the power of this computer in such a pristine environment. The sheer size, the clustered mainframe next to it for redundancy, the networking equipment, and the supporting computers around the cluster made for a very impressive, and inspiring site for a young programmer. Truly a "hulking giant" experience, for those of you who have read Steven Levy's book, Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.
Once again, going back to the iPhone 4, I now hold more processing power with an equal amount of memory in my pocket; all running on a battery. The Host cluster at the time had huge generators installed next door to keep it running in case of even a momentary power outage. iPhone may not have quite the bandwidth the Digital mainframe had, but it's got it beat in every other category.
The code for the system overall was written in a combination of Ada and C, with parts moving to C++ by the mid-1990s. This is where things slow down. Whereas computer technology has changed a lot since then, programming languages have changed much more slowly.

Drug Information
Metoprolol is a beta-blocker drug used to reduce the symptoms of angina pectoris (chest pain), lower blood pressure in people with hypertension, and treat people after heart attacks. Metoprolol is available alone and in a combination product used to lower blood pressure.
Common brand names:Toprol XL

Potential Negative Interaction
Explanation Required
Pleurisy Root
As pleurisy root and other plants in the Aesclepius genus contain cardiac glycosides, it is best to avoid use of pleurisy root with heart medications such as beta-blockers.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
Some beta-adrenergic blockers (called "nonselective" beta blockers) decrease the uptake of potassium from the blood into the cells, leading to excess potassium in the blood, a potentially dangerous condition known as hyperkalemia. People taking beta-blockers should therefore avoid taking potassium supplements, or eating large quantities of fruit (e.g., bananas), unless directed to do so by their doctor.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.

A relaxed, liberal and modern nation
Denmark is a relaxed, liberal and thoroughly modern country. It is an egalitarian society where no person is more important than the next and everyone is treated with respect. There are many traditional aspects of Danish society which continue to play an extremely important part in everyday, Danish life…
Danish people strive for a feeling of "hygge", a unique Danish word which means cosiness or togetherness. It permeates all aspects of their lives, from the design and functionality of their homes and furniture, to family gatherings or simple nights at home forgetting about the stresses of the day.
Secular, Christian society
Danish society is secular and tolerant, with a strong tradition for freedom of speech and expression. A large proportion of the Danish population observe Christian traditions such as confirmation, christenings and Christian holidays. Christmas celebrations in Denmark are particularly special.
The Danish flag (Dannebrog)
You'll notice many Danish flags (Dannebrog) flying around the Denmark, particularly in homes around the countryside. Flying the Dannebrog, the striking red and white national flag, is an important symbol of pride. Flags on public buildings fly at half mast on national days of mourning or remembrance.

On March 23, 2007, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein talked with University of Texas government professor Bruce Buchanan and Ransom Center public affairs assistant Alicia Dietrich about their papers, their relationship with Mark Felt, and about presidential accountability.
Bernstein: I had thought early on that somehow our papers, individually or together, ought to go somewhere. It was unclear to me how we could do it together, because Bob, at the time, had some notion what he wanted to do with his, and then a gentleman named Glenn Horowitz told me about this amazing place, and I said, "This is quite remarkable. This sounds like it's the perfect place." And at the same time, Glenn came down and saw Bob, and for the first time Glenn said, "Look, do it together."
Woodward: Because Carl had a separate filing system, I had a separate filing system, and that they needed to be merged.
B: We were both, first of all, knocked out by this incredible collection and the attention that it's received and the care of records and materials. But then, in Larry Faulkner and Tom Staley, we found two people who understood what our values were in terms of protecting our sources and our methodology and helped us come up with a way to continue that methodology into the archivistic process. And that obtains today as papers are released upon the death of our sources. We were both, I think, really struck by, right away, the commitment of Tom and Larry to this notion.
W: In fact, we realized that when we got done with the process that they would ensure the protection of sources better than we could—than something just floating around in the attics...
B: We could. If something happened to us. Well, that was the other consideration was what was gonna happen? What if something happened to us, and I can't identify this, and he can't identify that?
W: And so it got us to turn over the vast bulk of the material to the Ransom Center here, but then we have a temperature-controlled, humidity-controlled space and archive-like vault out in Virginia where we have the papers and information from sources who still are alive. Now, we would not have done that had we not realized that we're getting old and we better set up a process. And it was Faulkner and Staley who really came up with the idea that we retain in this vault in Virginia control over the material until the sources die.
B: I'd love to see mine come here.
W: Yeah. They should be in one place, but that covers four years of our work, and as we pointed out today, we're adding new interviews that we just did a couple of months ago because the theme here is "Watergate never stops."
W: Amen. Boy, you have to date everything. Some of the stuff we have, we would put a date, October 9, but not a year. We were reporters living in the daily story, and so now I've taken all of my materials—well, in fact I hired somebody—to go though and systematically date it and file it—
B: Drafts as well? Boy, mine is not that well...
W: Well, I've got hundreds of boxes in this vault in Virginia, in addition to the Watergate stuff, from all the books I've done about the CIA and Bush.
B: I have all my stuff, but it's not in as good of organized condition.
B: We didn't use a tape recorder at any point in our original reporting. The first time we used a tape recorder, we didn't use it in All the President's Men, we used it in Final Days. I think it was Bob's idea. I don't know who the first taped interview is, do you?
W: I think John Rhodes, who was the Republican leader in the House. This was for the second book—
B: Then it became evident it was—
W: But to answer the question, the idea was to have these meetings or discussions, and then I would go back and type a note, a memo, from memory.
How do you rate your memory, accuracy, and thoroughness?
W: It's good, but it's not a tape recording.
W: When it got serious in the fall of 2000—not 2000—September of 1972. You know, we were writing about Mitchell, and it was getting very serious—
B: Oh, you mean, yeah...in the vending machine.
W: Yeah. Carl said, "I've gotta know what's going on here. Who this is."
B: Yeah, and because I one day—we would have coffee together every morning and kind of try to organize our presentation for the editors, good-cop, bad-cop fashion, and suddenly I was pressing the button to the coffee machine, and I just sort of felt this chill, and I said, "Oh my God, this president is going to be impeached." And I have no idea where it came from, because nobody had mentioned a word, it hadn't even occurred [to anyone] as far as I know, and Woodward said, "Oh my God, you're right. But we can never use that word around this newspaper or newsroom because somebody will think we have an agenda." But I think that at that point, we both recognized that this was going somewhere that no story had ever gone before, and so I needed to know everything, and we couldn't have any secrets from each other.
How long had you had that contact before you brought Carl in?
W: Well, it goes back to the first day, or I guess maybe the second day after the Watergate burglaries.
B: I knew he was in the Justice Department.
W: He knew he was in the Justice Department. We called him "My Friend." I called him "My Friend." You called him "My Friend." Which it was a, either conscious or unconscious, abbreviation—
B: Acronym. M.F.
W: —for Mark Felt.
B: Unconscious.
B: Well, I think we both had a very good understanding. The great thing was where he sat and the information that he was able to look at. But what Bob and I both knew was that what he really was, primarily, was somebody where we could go and say, "Look, this is what we learned. Are we on the right track?" Because he was often very reluctant to impart any original information. Woodward had to drag it out of him.
He seemed to get a little testy, I take...
B: He was not forthcoming, and it was doled out very piecemeal.
W: Yeah, and I mean, reluctance is an understatement. He was, you know, the No. 2 guy in the F.B.I. at a very delicate time, and his career, because he wanted to get the job as F.B.I. director—L. Patrick Gray was just the acting F.B.I. director—if Gray screwed up, then he might get the job. And I think that—
B: Gray sure did screw up, but he didn't get the job.
W: Right, but I think part of Felt's motive was to help Gray screw up. But he was able to do—
B: Didn't require a lot of, a big push.
W: Yeah, Gray was working on that by himself. It was the sense here's somebody at the crossroads of this big investigation, who knows that, like he told me in the early days after the burglary when we found out that Hunt's, Howard Hunt's, name was in, and phone number, the annotation White House, or W. House, was in the phone books [belonging to the Watergate burglars]. I called Felt and said, "You know, anyone can have somebody's name in an address book. Is this serious?" And he said, "Don't worry." In effect, there's no way to libel Howard Hunt and that he's deeply involved. And so he was able to say, "You're on the right course. This is really serious. Keep going." Almost, as in what we've written, almost like a little bit of a father figure and a mentor. But somebody who didn't want to—
B: I didn't realize that at the time.
W: That's right. You did not.
B: I didn't understand the relationship until fairly recently.
It went back to your Navy days, as I recall, from The Secret Man?
W: That's right. Accidental meeting when I was a courier over at the White House.
B: And in fact, it's funny, because before I knew who it was, Bob had said to me, "He sits outside the F.B.I. director's office." So I thought, and in fact you did tell me that it was somebody that you had met in the Navy, so I thought it was a contemporary originally. So I thought it was somebody our age who was a kind of fast-track—
W: Gopher.
B: Clerk. Through whom all the papers into the director went. And that was my, until I knew it was Felt.
W: And it was such a sensitive thing. There were such sensitive signals on meetings and so forth. I was kind of, I really have to protect this relationship. And so I worked real hard to protect that relationship.
B: I'll tell you an interesting thing, Tom [addressing Thomas Staley], is that among my papers are my parents' F.B.I. files that are the basis of Loyalties. And there are a number of things, every once in a while, that are checked "Hoover." And when I wrote Loyalties, I did not look for Felt's name. And I suspect his name is probably in there.
W: No, no, it would have been too, he was not at headquarters. When were they investigating your parents?
B: No, but there was a point where he was, I thought, involved in the domestic, no? It would have been early '50s.
W: No, no. Not at all. He was out in the boonies, Kansas City.
B: Oh, you know what? No, in fact, it's Colson's name is on it. I mean, I don't know, but it wouldn't have been on there then. He was never in a field office?
W: Well, he was in a field office—
B: In a D.C. field office?
W: No.
B: No?
W: No. But he was in charge of the inspections division. But that was later on.
B: Just that Woodward didn't go see him enough.
W: Carl was pushing me, and you know Felt was the reluctant source, to say the least. And we were, to use that cliché, we were drinking out of a fire hose during that period. It was just very busy. Everyone kind of did their own thing, and we would divide things up and harass each other, and where's the story going, and Carl had a much clearer insight into where the story was going than I did. I didn't see the ramifications for a long time.
It's all so complicated, so many moving parts, I can understand how that would be.
B: Well, we had different approaches to things. You could see it downstairs [at the press conference earlier that day]. You know, we're both reporters.
W: You noticed?
B: But I tend to try to conceptualize, and Bob happily stays on track where I go off sometimes. But together, works great.
Perfect match.
W: No, there's such a tendency—and some people criticize me for not answering the motive question—but you can't—
B: How can you answer anybody else's? You can't even answer your own! How are you gonna answer somebody else's?
W: Exactly. It's complex, but clearly, there are many tracks in this. He was horrified with what Nixon was doing.
B: Tortured.
W: But not just in terms of the law and breaking the law, but of trying to control the F.B.I.
B: And he had broken the law. He had a view of the law that was kind of that the F.B.I was its own higher power.
W: Exactly. That's exactly right. Hoover-trained. He was an acolyte of J. Edgar Hoover's, and there was this idea that Hoover had, which Felt absorbed, and you see it in Felt's own book, where "We're above it all. We are an independent police force answerable to no one, in a way, except to ourselves."
B: Well, Hoover is, aside from an individual president, is the most important American political figure of the twentieth century, in terms of his influence on the country. I mean, he built this institution. He starts with the Palmer raids in 1920 that the whole domestic surveillance really begins with that.
W: But, see, the reason, and this, what became clear as I thought about this and as Felt decided to identify himself, that kind of prissy, moralistic side to Hoover that Felt had, but also this idea that "We're a law unto ourselves." Hoover leaked things all the time.
B: Leaked! Well, I was at the Washington Star when Hoover sent over the tapes—I was a copy boy—of Martin Luther King in a hotel room with women. He had a guy named Deke DeLoach, and the Washington Star was where he leaked to through Jerry O'Leary, Jr.
W: So, in terms of character portrait of him, he's got these two sides of Hoover, and he played it very well for, I think, getting the truth out and for Carl and myself. For himself, he didn't play it so well. He never got the job. He retired in '73—
B: He was a convicted felon.
W: He later became pardoned by Ronald Reagan, of all things.
B: A somewhat ignominious end, or looked like it was gonna be.
W: Jail.
Well, I notice also that your relationship with him was such that you felt free to really get in his face once about his obtuseness.
W: Yeah. Well, I don't know, that was the necessity of the moment. That was when we screwed up on Haldeman—we weren't getting anywhere.
B: We were in a mess. We were about ready to quit.
W: Well, he did kind of. As John Dean has pointed out, some of the things he said, we haven't been able to confirm.
B: Well, in fact, there's just stuff in the last meeting we ought to go back and look at actually. It went way into the intelligence community—
W: Well, you know it's kind of all of this—
B: But I guess, again, we don't know. What he was talking about probably had to do with Vietnam.
W: But, as we later found out, all of the black bag jobs that they were doing on the Weathermen turned out that the CIA did at least a couple of black bag jobs in the United States themselves—
B: The whole intelligence community is involved. It still comes back. And we never did anything with it.
W: Well, you go back and look at what came out about what the CIA was up to and what was going on and the NSA and all of the spying on Jane Fonda and so forth, the anti-war movement—
B: When were those hearings? After Watergate?
W: Oh yeah. After all—yeah.
B: Oh, what's his name, the senator from, uh—
W: [Frank] Church.
B: Yeah, Church and [Otis] Pike hearing.
W: So, you go back and look at what he said—
B: That's right. That's when he must have been talking about...
W: It's really a, it's almost Cassandra-like. In what was coming and what was unknown, and the attitudes—
B: What is not clear in our notes to each other and in what's here in the Center is—at least I don't think it is—is the extent to which Watergate was an outgrowth of the Vietnam War. I think that's the piece of it that we don't have, that historians have to deal with. That sound right?
W: Yeah, uh—
B: We have some of it, and a lot of it, the [William] Beecher story in the [New York] Times, but you know, but really—
W: Wire tap on reporters. But, see, this is what's perhaps instructive about this. All good sources never tell you everything. And they operate with a whole highway system of motives that you're never gonna unravel fully. And sometimes it's just that people like to tell the truth, people see your frustrations, sometimes people have personal motives, political motives, or high moral motives. It's, uh—
B: A mystery. This one had a combination probably of all of those.
Most likely did. Most likely did.
W: Well, I don't think he said it was closed. Ben's too smart to—
The last chapter.
W: It's one of last chapters, but as this new thing from the assistant postmaster general [Woodward interviewed Bill Dunlap in January 2007 regarding Dunlap's role as assistant postmaster general under Nixon] suggests—
B: The tapes. I mean, there are gonna be tapes for the next 50 years. Every word that this guy, this president, said practically was recorded. And they're still transcribing. And that process is giving us a record of a presidency such as we've never had. Really, it's interesting this Taylor Branch thing.
W: Oh, about Clinton. I mean, [Ransom Center archivist] Steve Mielke knows. The files we have in Virginia, some sources we had who have not died, and people are going to be surprised at who some of those people are because they're substantially prominent names. And so that's gonna add another dimension to it, and I keep going at it. So, it's never over. And it's gonna be viewed by history very differently at various stages. I'm sure people look at it—
B: Well, it's being looked at again now because of what's going on now, meaning there are now—
W: Yeah. People are going around saying Bush is worse than Nixon. Like you.
B: Like me.
W: Yeah. You know, people say things or they do things, and you find that, in fact, it's not true. And it's just basic checking—I mean, I remember Carl once, and we never put this in All the President's Men, and I don't know exactly why this comes to mind, but there was something in the paper during Watergate of the mayor of D.C. making an announcement about something. They're gonna build a new development in downtown and so forth, and you made some comment that stuck with me. And that is that the politicians are always getting up and making announcements about what they plan to do. And what they promise to do.
B: And so much coverage, the traditional newspaper coverage, is duty coverage and has always been about covering announcements and plans, as opposed to what's happening.
W: And then you said, if you went back and checked, half of this stuff is never built, it's never built on schedule, there are always cost overruns, that there's just a difference between what they're saying and what they're doing. It's kind of basic, but—
B: The first speech we ever gave, we did it together, and someone—I don't know which one of us came up with it—but I still talk about it. I haven't for a while, but the best advice to a reporter that I ever heard came from John Mitchell, Nixon's attorney general. He said, "Watch what we do and not what we say." And the problem with the Nixon administration—
W: It was a dare. It was a dare.
B: And the problem with the coverage of the Nixon administration had been that. [Pause] I'm gonna have to go back soon because I'm losing my voice, and I don't want to lose it for this afternoon.
W: Well, people struggle in the political world, and they reach the top, the presidency, and they become like Nixon in many ways. Nixon, as one of the tapes shows, said, "If the president does it, it's legal." That somehow they're above accountability or scrutiny. And you found with many of the presidents after Watergate, in fact with all of them, was the sense that they're untouchable. That they can do things and no one's gonna find out or that there is no day of reckoning. And it is the myth of a big-time president. Gonna be a big-time president, gonna be a leader, do all of these things on a large-scale, and they forget just the basic element in all of this—Carl always said Watergate was about truth. And if what had gone on in Watergate, if they told the truth at early stages, it would have gone away. But it turns out there were so many lies that were dependent on continuing to lie that probably they were compelled to lie.
B: That's the point. See, I think there came to be a mythology about the cover-up. That if Nixon had just confessed—
W: Politically, it might have worked.
B: It might have worked, except that if it did, it would then—you know, it's all hypothetical—but then it would lead you to the plumbers. And it would lead you to the White House horrors that John Mitchell talked about were really what Watergate was all about. And that once this thread started to become unraveled, that's obviously you can see why they were so worried about us in those tapes. We didn't know they were that worried about us, actually, at the time. We had a notion of it. Actually, I guess we did know, somewhat.
W: There's a tape where we've asked to talk to Nixon in the spring of '73, where he literally gets up there—I have an extract from it because it is amazing that this—
B: "The Post is going to have damnable, damnable problems."
W: This is spring of '73. We wanted to talk to Nixon and said we have information that it's gonna explode. And I went to talk to [Ron] Ziegler, who was the press secretary.
B: Was this in March?
W: Yeah, March or April. March.
B: It was right before he conducted his so-called investigation.
W: And Ziegler was out of town or something, so I saw his deputy [Gerald] Warren, and this is in All the President's Men. But then on the tape, Ziegler goes in to report what I've asked, and on the tape Nixon says, "Tell Woodward to stay 100 percent away from it. There's no fact to it." Mainly, that it's gonna explode and that it's gonna touch the president. "There's no substance." And he then says to Ziegler, "Warn Woodward." "Tell him he better watch his goddamn ass. They're going to attack the president's men, but they must not attack the president." Now that's the spring of '73. We weren't even thinking of using the title All the President's Men. We were going to write a book, but there it is.
B: Actually, we never did think of using the title All the President's Men.
W: It was the publisher.
B: It never occurred to us.
W: But that he used the phrase, "They're going to attack the president's men, but they must not attack the president." But, of course, that's perfect Nixon. You know, they can attack my guys, I don't care, just don't let it come to me. Amazing.
Well, he's had obviously a distorted sense of his own invulnerability, or he would have destroyed those tapes. He thought he could use executive privilege to keep those tapes private. So, he had an exalted notion of what he could do. In any case, gentlemen, thank you very much for this—
B: But if you do have more later, just...but we do have to get back.

Good thing.
I usually watch the Warriors games on Comcast Bay Area Sports, which gives you all the Bay Area commentators etc. I'll probably watch this game on a local station (ie Oregon station.) It's particularly depressing to listen to the Blazers announcers talk about the Warriors. They don't say anything mean, they just heap on the sympathy, as though they really feel sorry for the state of the Warriors organization.
I think I'd prefer it if they just laughed at how bad the Warriors are

The San Antonio Symphony had our annual Halloween Spooktacular Family Concert yesterday at Laurie Auditorium. The kids got all dressed up and so did the orchestra. Here is two scary examples:
But the photo below shows the scariest encounter of them all — Beethoven meets Darth Vader! Now that I've seen this, I have to rethink the entire marketing plan for the upcoming Beethoven Festival!
This weekend Music Director Sebastian Lang-Lessing makes his Symphony POPS debut at Laurie Auditorium. Lots of great music, including Porgy & Bess and West Side Story. But, sorry, no costumes…

Party Prep
Ever since I was little, I've been dreaming of my Sweet Sixteen Party. When I first started talking about it to my mom & dad, let's just say they weren't as excited as I was. Actually, my dad wasn't even listening, which is really annoying. It was probably my fault though. I should know better than to attempt any form of human communication with him while he's doing something competitive. He's very focused when he wants to win. Even when I was 5, he played a serious game of Go Fish.
Anyway, he perked up and got interested when I said I was paying for my party with my own money. So today my mom & I are going shopping for decorations. We're going to light the whole backyard with twinkle lights, and we're getting a helium tank so we can have dozens of ballons everywhere.
My Sweet Sixteen Party is going to look totally magical. I can't wait!
Love you!

|Next Door Male
Short review: Here's one for the ladies! The studs at Next Door Male are 100% straight and 100% amateur boys jerking off on camera. These guys are not gay men trying to be straight, these are all heterosexual studs in a site done right just for the females! The all exclusive footage on the site guarantees you that you won't find these pictures on any other porn site out there. Everything from surfer dudes to cowboys inside!
Content Amount: I thought the site had a lot of content for any site whether it had exclusive content or not. There were several pages of hung studs masturbating and hamming it up for the camera knowing that all female eyes were on them. A great porn site for women!

15 Ways to Reuse Plastic Bottles
No matter how much I try to avoid plastic, I seem to always end up with at least one or two plastic bottles in my recycle bin. Sometime it's a juice bottle, sometimes it held dish or laundry soap.
Here in the U.S., we generated 31 million tons of plastic waste in 2010 alone. That is a lot of empty soap and juice bottles! Of course, not all of that waste was plastic bottles, but anything we can do to reduce our plastic waste is going to help put a dent in that number, since 14 million tons of that waste was from packaging such as plastic bottles.
But, what about recycling plastic?
If you can't avoid plastic, you can at least feel good about tossing that bottle in the recycle bin, right? Well…yes and no.
The trouble with plastic recycling is that it's very inefficient. When you recycle plastic, you always end up with a lower-grade plastic. It's more like downcycling than recycling. That's why reusing your plastic is so important, if you can't avoid the stuff. That trip to the recycle center extends plastic's life, but it's still landfill bound eventually, where it won't break down for centuries. No good at all!
Rather than send your used plastic bottles through the waste stream, you can reuse plastic bottles in all sorts of fun, crafty ways! Here are some ideas to get you started.

You can use your crafty skills to repurpose those plastic bottles into cute home and garden accessories. From lighting to window treatments, there are lots of cute ways to divert that waste from the bin!
1. Make plastic bottle lights. You can whip up a string of plastic bottle lights, like in the photo above. Just use a small drill bit to drill holes in the bottoms of the bottles, stick an LED Christmas light through each one, and hang! If you need to make it more secure, you can use a little hot glue to hold the bottles in place.
2. Create a chandelier. Got a big stash of empty bottles? Over at Dollar Store Crafts, Heather shows you how to turn them into a chandelier!
3. Upcycled vases. Wrap those empty bottles up and turn them into sweet vases for the table. You can use raffia, like she did at Zakka Life, or try cutting up scrap fabric into super skinny strips to up the recycled content even more.
4. Make a milk jug shade. If you have some plastic jugs handy, you can cut them up to create a mod window shade. Check out how over at Mother Earth News.
5. Whip up a hummingbird feeder. Turn an old juice jug into a homemade hummingbird feeder in a few simple steps!
6. Grow some food. Mike at Urban Organic Gardener shows you how to transform old plastic bottles into upside down herb planters.
From holiday decor to toys and organization, there are lots of ways to make those plastic bottles work for you, rather than sending them to the recycling center or the landfill.
7. Bottle purses. The bottoms of those two-liter soda bottles are perfect for making little clam shell purses. How sweet!
8. A repurposed ghost. Save an old juice jug, and this Halloween, you can transform it into a spooky (but very cute!) ghost.
9. Make an Easter basket. Instead of plastic Easter grass, you can use shredded paper from the recycle bin.
10. Amuse the wee ones. Turn an old plastic bottle into a discovery bottle to keep your kiddos occupied. They can even help fill the bottles up!
11. Get organized. Over at CRAFT, you can learn how to turn empty milk jugs into a craft supply organizing station.
Don't forget those bottle caps! You can't recycled them in most cities, but you can reuse them in all kinds of fun craft projects. Here are just a few.
12. Bottle cap art. Get inspired! You can create your own rubbish rainbow by collecting plastic bottle caps. Just grab your hot glue gun and arrange them artfully on a painted piece of scrap cardboard.
13. Make pincushions. How sweet are these miniature pincushions made from reclaimed plastic bottle caps?
14. Spin it! Get the kids, and spend a crafternoon turning old plastic bottle caps into tops that really spin.
15. Bottle cap ladybugs. This is another fun one to do with kids. Get crafty, and transform reclaimed plastic bottle caps into cute little ladybug toys.
I bet that you guys have done some cool craft projects with reclaimed plastic bottles or plastic bottle caps, so spill it! What's your favorite way to reuse plastic bottles?
