The Observer's Nicole Brydson recently attempted a social experiment. She went to a bar. On a Saturday night. Alone! To see if she could strike up a friendship or maybe even a fling. She even wore a frilly dress! "While advising me about my love life, my mother always likes to tell stories about her youthful evenings spent at her local singles bar," Nicole writes. And it's true — recently I've been reading Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City series, and the swinging late 70s San Francisco singles he writes about met everywhere! Not just at bars, mind you; there was even an unofficial singles night at the local Safeway where you could scope out cuties while suggestively squeezing cucumbers. But these days, it seems that stranger courtship is much more likely to take place across a DSL connection than on a couple of bar stools. Though maybe I'm just too timid to talk to strangers.
A quick survey of the other Jezebels shows that half of us have indeed met dudes at bars — and not just for sex! Tracie made two good friends when she lived in London at the local pub. Is it regional? Personal taste? Maybe it's just Brooklyn, as, at the end of Nicole's night, she found herself "text-messaging friends for real, live human engagement...finished a second beer and headed to a house party nearby. Surrounded by friends, finally, I was poured a shot of sake by the host and introductions to new guys were suddenly fluid and simple. And then I realized they were all gay." Sigh.

Chris Masterson came to the rescue at Drumbar (201 E. Delaware Place) Thursday.
The speakeasy-style bar located on the 18th floor of the Raffaello hotel in the Gold Coast was left without a DJ for its highly-anticipated grand opening when Paul Sevigny (brother of actress Chloe Sevigny) canceled Wednesday after his Los Angeles club was abruptly closed.
Masterson, best known for his role on Fox's "Malcolm in the Middle" and in the film "Scary Movie 2," was asked if he could step in and spin at the bar. He obliged and jumped on a flight from Los Angeles to Chicago the next day.
Was he any good? I thought so -- especially when he played "I'm...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve cautioned America's political leaders Wednesday that their policies are hurting the economy.
The Fed stood by its aggressive efforts to stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment. But it sent its clearest signal to date that tax increases and spending cuts that kicked in this year are slowing the economy.
"Fiscal policy is restraining economic growth," the Fed said in a statement after a two-day policy meeting.
The Fed maintained its plan to keep short-term interest rates at record lows at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent. And it said it will continue to buy $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds. The bond purchases are intended to keep long-term borrowing costs down and encourage borrowing and spending.
The Fed's statement signaled its concern about a Social Security tax increase, which took effect Jan. 1, and deep government spending cuts, which began taking effect March 1. The across-the-board spending cuts took effect automatically after Congress failed to reach a budget deal.
Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors, said he viewed the Fed's more forceful remarks on the issue as criticism of Congress' fiscal policies.
"The Fed noted that the private economy is pushing ahead, but it is the government that is putting roadblocks in the way," Naroff said. "That was as clear a shot at Congress as I have seen the Fed take."
Two years ago, Chairman Ben Bernanke argued at a Fed conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo., that Congress should do more to stimulate hiring and growth. Since then, Congress hasn't joined the Fed in acting to stimulate growth. Instead, congressional leaders have focused on deficit reduction and allowed tax increases and spending cuts to take effect.
In its statement Wednesday, the Fed made clear that it could increase or decrease its bond purchases depending on the performance of the job market and inflation.
David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors, said that in saying it could increase or decrease its bond purchases, the Fed wants to show flexibility: It's ready to respond, whether the economy improves or weakens significantly.
"I think the Fed is in a wait-and-see mode, like the rest of us," Jones said.
Jones said he expects no change in the level of bond purchases until September or later. The Fed wants time to see whether the economy can grow fast enough to drive sustained improvement in the job market, he said.
Debate among Fed policymakers at the March meeting had led some economists to speculate that the Fed might scale back its bond purchases if job growth accelerated.
But several reports in recent weeks have suggested that the economy might be weakening. Employers added only 88,000 jobs in March, far fewer than the 220,000 averaged in the previous four months. And the economy grew at an annual rate of 2.5 percent in the January-March quarter — a decent growth rate but one that's expected to weaken in coming months because of higher Social Security taxes and the federal spending cuts.
At the same time, consumer inflation as measured by the gauge the Fed most closely monitors remains well below its 2 percent target. That gauge rose just 1 percent in the 12 months that ended in March. Low inflation gives the Fed room to keep interest rates low without igniting price increases.
The Fed has been joined by other major central banks in seeking to strengthen growth and reduce high unemployment.
The European Central Bank could cut its benchmark lending rate from a record low of 0.75 as soon as Thursday because the euro area's economy remains stagnant.
Unemployment for the eurozone is 12.1 percent. And the ECB predicts that the euro economy will shrink 0.5 percent in 2013.
Japan's central bank has acted to flood its financial system with more money to try to raise consumer prices, encourage borrowing and help pull the world's third-largest economy out of a prolonged slump. Economists say Japanese consumers will spend more if they know prices are going to rise.
The Bank of Japan has kept its benchmark rate between 0 and 0.1 percent to try to stimulate borrowing and spending.
The Fed's goal is to keep price changes from hurting the economy. This could occur if inflation raged out of control or if the opposite problem — deflation — emerged. Deflation is a prolonged drop in wages, prices and the value of assets like stocks and houses.
The United States last suffered serious deflation during the Great Depression of the 1930s but Fed policymakers worry more about the threat of deflation any time prices go lower than 2 percent.
The Fed's action Wednesday was supported on an 11-1 vote. Esther George, president of the Kansas City regional Fed bank, dissented for a third straight meeting. The statement said George remained concern that the Fed's aggressive stimulus could heighten the risk of inflation and financial instability.

New Show at Drawing Room
The Drawing Room will feature the work of Caio Fonseca and John Iversen beginning tomorrow.
Mr. Iversen, a resident of Sag Harbor with a studio in East Hampton, is a jewelry artist who works in precious metals. His "Crackle" series of bracelets and brooches will be on view as well as a group of early abstract works on paper and drawings of his recent jewelry pieces.
Mr. Fonseca will show abstractions on paper and canvas, many of which were created in his East Hampton studio. The son of a sculptor and a painter, he uses layers of gesso, acrylic paint, gouache, and wax to construct his images, imposing one color over a wilder underpainting.
Guild Hall's Member Show
Guild Hall is calling for entrants for its Artist Members Exhibit. The deadline for submissions is April 22. Registration materials are available online at guildhall.org. The show will run May 7 through June 11 and is open to every artist member of Guild Hall. The artist winning top honors will earn a solo exhibit in Guild Hall's Spiga Gallery. There are also awards for best representational and abstract paintings, best sculpture, best work on paper, best mixed-media work, and best photograph, along with a $250 Catherine and Theo Hios Landscape and an award for best new member artist, presented to one artist who is new to the members exhibit or who has not entered in the past five years.
This year's awards judge will be Deborah Cullen, director of curatorial programs at El Museo del Barrio in New York.
Mostly Abstract at Ashawagh
Ashawagh Hall in Springs will once again open its doors to an an exhibit of abstract paintings. Eight artists with diverse points of view on the meaning of abstraction will share their visions. Ruth Rogers-Altmann, Mark E. Zimmerman, Barbara Bilotta, Joe Eschenberg, Haim Mizrahi, Katherine Hammond, Jim Hayden, and Jana Hayden will participate.
The show opens on Saturday with a reception that night from 5 to 8.
"Academy" at Romany Kramoris
Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor will present work by four artists members of the "academy," an "in-jest, self-named larger group of painters on the East End." These members include Nancy Achenbach, Pingree Louchheim, Joan Tripp, and Richard Udice. The show opens today, and a reception will be held Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m.
Ms. Achenbach works contemporary realism into oil paintings. Ms. Louchheim uses realism to present the local landscape as a storied idyll of country charm. Mr. Udice's skies are rolling and tumbling with threatening or brightening clouds. Ms. Tripp has been re-inspired by the images of the Hubble Space Telescope and captures the ethereal delicacy and lightness of the nebulae.
Kruger in Print
An interview with Barbara Kruger is featured in a new book by Cedar Lewisohn called "Abstract Graffiti," which documents and examines the recent history of street art.
Ms. Kruger discusses the days before she had a gallery when she thought about how she could put her work up for people to see. Although she tried at first to get a billboard, she found herself instead printing up posters cheaply and putting them up all over New York City. Eventually, she was given a billboard in London as part of a show she was included in there. The book was published in March by Merrell.

Buick's new baby crossover.
Crossovers are getting smaller, and the new Buick Encore is one of the smallest of all. More petite than a Chevy Equinox, the Encore is closer in size to a Mini Countryman. Buick designers endeavored to give it Buick styling cues, but they couldn't disguise the Encore's tall, stubby proportions. Despite its diminutive footprint, however, the Encore has a reasonable amount of space inside for four people and can haul a fair bit of luggage. The Encore is based on the platform of the Chevy Cruze sedan and uses the same 1.4-liter, direct-injected turbocharged four that's available in the Cruze. Output is estimated at 140 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque, delivered via a six-speed automatic transmission to either the front or all four wheels. The Encore's curb weight of 3190 pounds (with front-wheel drive) is within 50 pounds of the Cruze, so performance should be similar. Like many direct-injected fours, this 1.4-liter isn't exactly mellifluous, but Encore drivers might not notice, because Buick engineers used active noise cancellation in the Encore to mask its droning. This baby Buick boasts some other upscale equipment, including leather, navigation, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, front and rear park assist, lane-departure warning, forward-collision alert, and a backup camera.

SUMAVA MOUNTAINS, CZECH REPUBLIC—A joke over beer could turn into a defining moment for a new sport when an international team of six men attempt to mark the 100th edition of the Tour de France by covering the entire distance on kick bikes.
Kick bikes have no pedals but the sturdy riders say that a combination of passion and great fitness — and no doping — should suffice to complete the almost 3,500-kilometre course for this year's race.
Fame is not an issue. They say they're doing it to put their sport on the map.
"If we succeed, nobody will remember our names anyway," Czech team member Michal Kulka said during a recent training camp in southwestern Czech Republic. "Who cares?"
Starting each stage a day before the actual race means they will miss some of the hype of the June 29-July 21 race. But they have more practical obstacles to deal with: traffic lights will slow them down, one-way roads may force them to look for alternate routes — and they're still waiting for permission for their support vehicle to enter mountainous stages.
A more mountainous route also makes the challenge enormously tough this year.
The riders will have to climb the towering Alpe-d'Huez twice in the 18th stage, just four days after another classic climb — Mont Ventoux — at the end of the 15th stage, the Tour's longest this year.
After two years of hard training, the gruelling ascents of the Tour don't seem to bother them too much.
"I'm more afraid of trucks," said Jaromir Odvarka, another Czech member.
For the bikers, who all belong in the top echelons of the sport, time is a constraint.
"The long stages may take about 15 hours or more," Odvarka said. "Sometimes, we won't get enough sleep."
The team's budget of 600,000 koruna ($30,200) means they will sleep in tents and instead of using a plane for two long-distance transports, they will spend hours in cars.
That each of them will have a tent of his own is the only luxury.
Their support team includes a masseur, a physiotherapist, a driver and a translator. The crucial question about how to get proper food was solved after the father of one of the men — Dutch rider Rene Konig — offered to serve as a cook with his girlfriend.
The four Czechs, all former track and field athletes, got the idea several years ago while sitting at a bar watching a report on Josef Zimovcak, who covered the 2005 Tour on a penny-farthing bicycle.
"I said that if the 50-year-old guy made it on a bicycle, I'd do it on a kick bike when I'm 30," Vaclav Liska said.
Others followed suit.
"It could be that some of us won't make it. But we're a team and we want to promote this beautiful, small sport," Liska said.
Their idea looked crazy enough for one of the biggest names in the sport — Alpo Kussisto of Finland — to join them.
"It's a wonderful idea," said Kussisto, a two-time world champion and a world record holder. "I hope that we can even enjoy it. France is a beautiful country."
The 2013 Tour offers plenty of beauty as it runs past famous sites such as the Mont Saint-Michel monastery and the palace of Versailles.
But Kussisto, above all, loves the mountains and is looking forward to "riding Alpine roads down."
Kussisto hopes the training and team spirit will help them overcome any obstacle.
"We switch the kicking leg and the standing leg all the time, like three kicks, switch, three kicks, switch," he said. "And you need to be able to micro relax your muscles for a tenth of a second."
Kussisto said he considered riding the Tour in 1998 but gave it up because "I was riding mostly alone. Now we have a really good team. I think it's possible."
While the Tour is still clouded by doping concerns after Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven titles, the six kick bikers say they'll be as clean as can be.
"Doping makes no sense for us," Kulka said. "We don't race. We just want to be the first to make it."

GDT – Edmonton Oilers 0, Colorado Avalanche 6 – Jan 18, 2010 @ 7:00 PM – PPV – Game 48
The Oilers hope another epic skid in Colorado tonight. They are now 1-13-1 in their last 15. Absolutely horrid. However the last two games have started to look up for the team. A tough loss in Pittsburgh in which they played a very solid game until the Pens' Stall line exploited some holes in the team, and a loss against the Sharks where it was just a clear case of being beaten by one of the league's best teams. There's not really many ways to positively spin this teams failures as of late, however things have slowly been turning around, it seems. It isn't helping that this injury/flu bug has continued to hit.
As for the Avalanche, they are currently on a 3-game winning streak with wins over the Sabres, Flames and Devils. The Avalanche are 10-5-0 in the last 15 games.
I'm not so sure the Oilers can overcome this one. Pay Per Views are generally duds as well too, so I don't predict a win tonight. My prediction tonight, both heart/brain, is 3-2 Avalanche.

A MUM from Bournemouth is believed to have become the first woman in Britain to die directly from cannabis poisoning.
Gemma Moss, a 31-year-old churchgoer who lived in Boscombe, collapsed on her bedroom floor after smoking a cannabis cigarette.
Miss Moss' death was registered as cannabis toxicity and the coroner has recorded a verdict of death by cannabis abuse.
The devout Christian had frequently used cannabis, but had stopped for two years before her death in October.
She started using it again to help her sleep after becoming depressed and anxious due to breaking up with her boyfriend.
The Bournemouth inquest heard that Miss Moss smoked half a joint a night to help get her to sleep.
Her friend, Zara Hill, said they smoked about £20 worth of cannabis together in the week before her death.
On the night of October 28 Miss Moss, who had two sons, Tyler, 15, and Tessiah, eight, and a daughter, went to bed after rolling a joint.
She was found unresponsive the following morning by Chloe Wilkinson, the girlfriend of Miss Moss' teenage son.
She called an ambulance to the flat in Boscombe, but Miss Moss was pronounced dead at the scene.
Dr Kudair Hussein, a pathologist, told the hearing: "The physical examination and the examination of various organs including the heart and the liver showed no abnormality that could account for her death.
"The level of canabinoids in the blood were 0.1 to 0.15 milligrams per litre, this is considered as moderate to heavy cannabis use.
"I looked through literature and it's well known that cannabis is of very low toxicity.
"But there are reports which say cannabis can be considered as a cause of death because it can induce a cardiac arrest."
Coroner Sheriff Payne asked Dr Hussein: "You are satisfied it was the affects of cannabis that caused her death."
Dr Hussain replied: "Yes sir."
The inquest heard Miss Moss grew up in London but moved to Bournemouth about five years ago.
She regularly attended the evangelical Citygate Church and was baptised there last year.
Her mother, Kim Furness, told the inquest: "She was really honest about cannabis because from where we come from it's normal to smoke cannabis. She was trying to stop again."
In recording a verdict that Miss Moss died from drug abuse, Mr Payne said: "The post mortem could find no natural cause for her death.
"With the balance of probability that it is more likely than not that she died from the effects of cannabis."
- RUSSELL White, a leader at the Citygate Church, said: "Gemma was a good mother and brought up her children mainly on her own.
"She was full of fun and loved life and loved coming to church. She was a committed member of the church and brought her children along.
"I think she came from a difficult background but she I think she was clean to a large degree in terms of drugs.
"She is very much missed and her death was a real shock to us."
David Raynes, of the National Drug Prevention Alliance, said: "It is extremely rare and unusual for a coroner to rule death from cannabis abuse.
"In 40 years I have never come across deaths from cannabis alone. There have been cases where it has been combined with other drugs or alcohol.
"It has often been said that cannabis doesn't cause death. Users usually pass out before they can take enough cannabis to kill them.
"This case serves as a warning that cannabis can cause immense harm."

Editor's note: The 61st annual Addison County Fair and Field Days last week was, as ever, a smorgasbord of sights, sounds, smells and sensations. With so many events, demonstrations, fried treats and heated competitions to take in, our reporters picked just a few favorites for our readers to savor.
NEW HAVEN — Patrick Fifield wasn't making much progress across the fairgrounds.
The Middlebury teen was driving his pair of Lineback steers from the Oxen Barn to the Dairy Barn, on the other side of the fair. The two massive steers, just three and a half years old, were yoked together, dutifully plodding along beside their master, who tapped their legs with a thin rod every now and then to direct the pair.
But admirers kept getting in the way to marvel at the Linebacks, so the cross-fairground journey was slow going.
"Come on, Ron," Fifield said. "Back up, Ron. Back up, Harry. Get up, boys."
That's Ron and Harry, as in Ron Weasley and Harry Potter, the gallivanting duo of best friends from the popular series of books by British author J.K. Rowling. Yes, Fifield admitted, he had named the two steers after the fictional wizards. He smiled sheepishly.
Fifield got his start with cattle showing dairy cows with 4-H, but switched to steers two or three years ago. His brother started a set, he explained, and Fifield followed soon after. Dairy cows just didn't hold the same allure.
Steers are male cows that have been castrated. Once they're at least four years old, they're called oxen. Were they bulls, Fifield explained to one curious onlooker, they'd just be too much of a handful.
But Ron and Harry were frisky enough, and eager to be on their way. It was late in the day, and they were hungry, Fifield explained.
As the small crowd gathered around the two steers, Ron or Harry — it's hard to tell them apart — reached his head over the shoulder of one admirer. Out came his large, pink tongue, and he began licking at the man's neck.
Another snorted and snuffled, nosing a bystander with his large snout.
"He's really curious," Fifield said.

As the matted gray wool fell away to reveal the white underneath, the children in the front row whispered in shock: the sheep wasn't actually gray, it was just dirty!
Willis, who has been shearing sheep since she was 12, held the sheep stable until she turned it onto its side, at which point it began to kick, its legs flailing in midair.
"You have to make it think that it can't move," she said.
When she pulled the sheep to its feet, it had become significantly skinnier and looked a little unsteady on its legs. As another woman walked it away it let out a plaintive bleat. The black sheep that was next in line let out a series of even louder "baas."
After she had finished the second sheep, several of the children in the audience crowded up to pet the newly-shorn sheep, giggling as they ran their hands through the short black stubble that remained. When the sheep began to bleat, they took a couple of steps backward.
"She's very talkative. She's just saying hello," said Willis.

"What can I do for you, honey?" he asked as he pushed a pile of onions across the greased cooktop. An older man with "Mike" tattooed across his upper arm looked on, taking the occasional order.
Vincent needed to practice talking to the press, said Mike. Vincent said he had been working at the booth for four years, and that his uncle owns the business, which is based out of Bellows Falls.
"But we've been coming here for 19 years," added Mike, hovering in the background.
Vincent cooks sausage for five months every summer, driving from one fair to another all over Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut. In the off-season, he takes on part-time jobs.
The jobs are nothing compared to his summers, though. Vincent spends 12 hours at a stretch standing in the booth, making sausages. But he says he wouldn't trade his summer job for anything.
"I like the carny life," said Vincent. "I like camping, meeting cool people — new people."

But this year, the warm up act was just as exciting as the revving motors of the demo derby daredevils. Bristol native Adam Cousino and Dorset native Shawn Connors kicked their motorcycles into gear, double-checked their helmets, and then sped off toward a steep ramp on the edge of the tractor pad. Seemingly fearless, they one after the other sped up, raced toward the ramp and then catapulted themselves — and their motorcycles — into the air.
They've taken the show on the road: Cousino and Connors, under the name C-n-C Freestyle, have already traveled around the country demonstrating their aerial motorcycle stunts. This week's performances brought the pair back to their home turf.
Each launched off the ramp and somersaulted into their catalog of tricks. Connors flew into the "stripper," contorting his six-foot-something frame to thrust his legs and upper body between the handlebars of his bike, extending out in a graceful arc over the front wheel. In another round, he released the handlebars and hopped up onto the bike seat, reaching for the sky. In the "helicopter," Cousino kicked his feet backwards, twisting high above the bike while still grasping the handlebars.
Then, in one particularly breath-taking moment of bravado, Connors released his bike altogether mid-flight, hovering unattached above the motorcycle — the "superman" pose.
It lasted just a few split seconds, the motorcycle and rider appearing suspended mid-air in slow motion, and then he snatched back his bike and dove back to earth, to the delight of the crowd.

"We must reconstitute the natural world as the true terrain of politics. We must draw our standards from our natural world, heedless of ridicule, and reaffirm its denied validity. We must honor with the humility of the wise the bounds of that natural world and the mystery which lies beyond them, admitting that there is something in the order of being which evidently exceeds all our competence."

NewsWire: "Lord of the Rings" Opens at Glitzy London Premiere - Reuters
Liv Tyler, Ian McKellen, and Elijah Wood at London premiere. Reuters
LONDON (Reuters) - The Lord of the Rings film epic was launched at a glitzy world premiere on Monday with critics already hailing the mammoth fantasy as a masterpiece.
The J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy that attracted at least 100 million readers over the last half century has been turned into three movies costing $270 million and taken New Zealand director Peter Jackson 18 grueling months to film with a cast of 2,400.
The Fellowship of the Ring is the first of the three films to be released every Christmas for the next three years and showbusiness razzmatazz reigned supreme at the London premiere.
The film looks set to propel its diminutive hero, American actor Elijah Wood, to international stardom. Hollywood veterans such as Liv Tyler and British horror star Christopher Lee were on hand to watch Wood's turn as Tolkien's Frodo Baggins thrust him into the firmament.
More than 2,000 fans braved the chilly night in London's cinema-lined Leicester Square to greet the film's stars as they entered under a row of burning rings.
"We had a lot of fun and we had a lot of work," Tyler, who plays elf-maiden Arwen Undomiel in the film told Reuters.
"When I read the book and the script I really longed to be part of this movie," the scarlet trouser-suited Tyler said as reporters queued up to gather soundbites from the stars.
The film, a dark tale of the fight between good and evil played out by hobbits, elves, wizards and orcs, could go head to head with another magical mystery tale -- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone -- when it is released on December 19.
But both films faced an equally tough time -- convincing readers, movie fans and film moguls that they could pull off the celluloid trick.
A 1978 animated version directed by Ralph Bakshi failed to capture the imagination of the film-going public or the admiration of the legions of Tolkien fans around the world.
The first feedback from critics of this latest version of The Lord of the Rings was euphoric.
"The movie works. It has real passion," Newsweek declared. "I really got a sense of awe and grandeur," said the film critic for Entertainment Weekly. "The effects are blended in extremely well with the fabric of the movie," Variety said.
Jackson said he did feel nervous about how the public would receive the film but was heartened by the early reviews.
"I'll be relieved to have people finally see the film because it has been the buzz on the Internet, there have been spies (on set), it has been gossip and rumor for three years now,'' he told Reuters.
"Three years is too long. People have just got to see it. It is just a movie and it needs to have an identity as a film now and not as this Internet buzz. I'll be relieved when it is out there."
Christopher Lee, who plays the fallen wizard Saruman, said he was seeing the film for the first time at the premiere but was confident it was going to be fantastic.
The 79-year-old veteran called Jackson one of the greatest film directors of the age. "Someone asked me what my greatest ambition in life is and I replied that it was to live to see the third film," Lee said.
Wood said the film was breathtaking and he hoped it would inspire a whole new generation to read the books.
"I love it, I think it is wonderful. Everyone involved has done such beautiful work."
The film took more than a year to shoot and co-star Sean Bean said his role as the Orc-slaying warrior Boromir "was physically demanding."
"I think it was hard work but I think we were all so excited to be part of it that the adrenaline carried us through."
Sir Ian McKellan, who plays Gandalf the wizard, said making the movie was "everything I dreamed it might be."
"Any worries that I had that the story may be too complicated, that the special effects wouldn't be quite as magical as required absolutely vanished."

NMT Architect Dave Wilson, 1951-2000
SOCORRO, N.M., March 2, 2000 -- When Dave Wilson applied for the job of staff architect at New Mexico Tech, he told his interviewer that he wanted more than anything to be a good architect.
He was a good architect, but he was far more than just that: Wilson, who died unexpectedly on Feb. 25 at the age of 49, was a genuinely good person.
"We all loved Dave a lot," said Pete Sanchez at a memorial service for Wilson last Tuesday afternoon. Sanchez, speaking on behalf of "the P-Plant crew," said that one of the things that made Wilson so special was that he always had a kind word or greeting for everyone.
"David was a very wonderful person," said Sanchez. "He had something to tease you about every day, but he was serious when it came to work . . . he was one hell of a guy. We'll miss him a lot."
Wilson would have been pleased to see the many friends and co-workers who crowded the funeral home chapel. Later, the groups met and mingled at a gathering at his Lemitar home, where they traded "Dave stories" and reminisced. Among the groups was a core of lifelong friends from Las Cruces.
"Dave's friends were his life -- he loved all of you very much," said Wilson's only sibling, Steve. He looked around the room. "And it's quite apparent that you loved him, too." Steve said he was amazed at how many people knew his younger brother. "Everyone knows Dave," he said. "No matter where we went, people knew, and you didn't have to explain anything. This is a wonderful town."
Wilson was born on Dec. 16, 1950, to Marvin and Helen Wilson in Bryan, Texas, and grew up in Las Cruces. He was a graduate of Las Cruces High School, where he was a champion wrestler, and later earned his degree in architecture from the University of New Mexico (UNM).
"He always wanted kids," said Beverly McMullan, a friend of Wilson's since high school. "I was the pain in his side." Beverly said that when she met her husband, she told him, "Dave is part of the deal. He's my friend."
"He had a lot of women friends who wanted to mother him because he wasn't married," said his mother. She recalled one break-up and her son's comment afterward: "He said to me, 'I don't need anyone else to nag me -- I've got you.'"
"Dave was pretty shy, but he made tons of friends," said Dan Carpenter, a friend since Wilson's UNM days. "He was a nice guy, but also very frank -- he'd tell you what he was thinking."
Wilson loved to wrestle, said Carpenter, and would take on his friends until his arm came out of its socket. He preferred old trucks to new ones, and until recently, always had a "couple of extra" to park.
"Obviously," said Carpenter, "he had a thing for animals."
He loved to ride, and owned four horses he kept corralled at his Lemitar home, which he himself designed. He also had four dogs and a burro, which someone referred to as a "couch burro," because Wilson allowed it to sit on his couch until the animal grew too large for inside privileges.
He was looking forward to seeing last Friday night's Pet Circus at Macey Center, and died with two tickets to the show in his wallet.
It was, in fact, his devotion to animals that cemented the friendship between Wilson and Martha Rimmel of Martha's Black Dog.
"In 1980 I met Dave at a party, and he told me this story," said Rimmel. Wilson had been hiking in the Sandias the day before, and found a baby owl that had fallen out of its nest and hurt its wing. Wilson took it home and nursed it back to health.
"Once the owl had gotten better, he drove up to the crest, and hiked to the exact place he had found it, and that's where he left it," Rimmel said. "I fell in love that day."
Wilson also was quite a hunting enthusiast. A group of friends recalled the first time they took him dove hunting. "He was shooting like crazy," said one friend, and had filled his game bag with about 30 birds.
"He was standing there with that smile and sparkling eyes, and we never told him that he had filled his bag with meadowlarks. We just told him he had shot a lot of males. Dave cleaned them and ate them, and he never knew until we brought him a hat with the words, 'Meadowlarks Unlimited.'"
Jim Shaffner, director of Tech's Physical Plant, knew Wilson both as a co-worker and as a personal friend. "Dave Wilson was involved in every single architectural project on this campus for the past 10 years," said Shaffner.
Wilson, he said, designed the Aerojet facilities in Tech's research park, the facelift to South Hall, and oversaw the Workman Center project from demolition (of the old building) to completion (of the new one). Shaffner said Wilson worked toward an architectural harmony, so that no building "stuck out." Even the rugby storage shed parked on the Athletic Field fits into the genre.
Yvonne Manzano, associate director of the P-Plant, recalled Wilson's deadpan humor and gentle mien. "You had to talk calmly and slowly to Dave," said Manzano. "You had to be gentle, because he was gentle -- he didn't understand aggressiveness."
He also didn't hold fast to material things, and was generous to a fault. True blue. That was Dave.
Karyn DeBont, manager of Tech's greenhouse, said her crew gathered together after lunch to hear the news of Wilson's death. DeBont explained that P-Plant employees are divided between those who work inside the building, and those who don't.
"One of the guys asked, 'Which one is Dave?'" said DeBont. "A student answered him: 'He's the one who always said hi to you.' What a wonderful gift he gave those guys. And that, for me, sums it all up."

A report just released by the Segal Group indicates that the funded status of the typical corporate pension plan in the United States declined from 95 percent at the end of 2013 to 92 percent at the end of Q1/2014.
During the first quarter, domestic equities (as measured by the Russell 3000) slightly outperformed international equities (as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index Ex-U.S.)—2 percent vs. 1 percent. Meanwhile, bonds (as measured by the Citigroup World Government Bond Index) bettered all stocks with a 2.66 percent gain.
The Segal Group report models the returns and funded status of a hypothetical pension plan that has a simple, passively invested asset allocation of 45 percent domestic equities, 15 percent international equities, and 40 percent global bonds. Although the hypothetical plan's assets increased in value by 2 percent in Q1/2014, its liabilities increased by 5 percent, after declining for the previous two quarters. That's because Q1/2014 saw a lower yield curve, due to declines in yields of around 30 percent for both high-quality corporate bonds and Treasuries. The lower yields decreased the model pension plan's effective interest rate and, thus, increased its liabilities.
"Individual plan results will differ from this model for a host of reasons, including different funded positions, liability duration, and contribution patterns," the Segal Group notes in its report. Nevertheless, the report advises: "Plan sponsors should examine changes in their own defined-benefit plans' assets, liabilities, and funded ratios from the vantage point of accounting and funding metrics."

Dakota Roots Website to Feature South Dakota Communities
PIERRE - A South Dakota website design to recruit out-of-state workers will be featuring various communities across the state.
State Labor and Regulation Secretary Pam Roberts says that since Dakota Roots was established in 2006, more than 15,000 people have registered and 2,675 people have relocated to South Dakota and entered the workforce.
Roberts says the site is adding a featured community page, which will highlight interesting facts, news and popular jobs of the state's top cities.
She says that radio and online ads, social media engagement and a revamped website helped increase registrations last year by 63.5 percent and quadrupled Web traffic.
The site currently has more than 9,000 job postings.

From March 1 to March 16 at 3pm, my ebook The List, priced at 99 cents and fluctuating in rank between #13 and #23, earned $5647. It averaged $375 a day. It peaked at $525 a day.
During the last 57 hours, The List, priced at $2.99 and currently ranked at #39, has earned $4092. It is averaging $1723 a day.
What does this mean?
Hell if I know. There's probably a formula in it somewhere. But I'm 100% sure I'll make a lot more money in 28 days at $2.99 than I did for the 28 days it was 99 cents. However, I wouldn't be making the current figures if I hadn't priced it at 99 cents.
Am I the only one with a headache?

I was fined $1,500 (roughly)
The charges were as follows:
-Unruly behavior
-Willfully blocking free movement
These were all fraudulent for these reasons:
Skateboarding: We just finished lunch and my skateboard was left in the subway with the kid who was still eating.
Unruly behavior: I can clearly be heard addressing the officer in a respecful manner, I'm not stupid, why would I try to start something with an authority figure that very well may hold my future in his selfish hands? It's the same concept as if you're on a date: if you make nice, you might get what you're after (relationship/sex/friendship,etc) and you don't just start spouting off "Nice TITS!!!!" The same thing applies to encounters with the law, always respectful in hopes they will treat me like a human being.
Willfully blocking free movement: The skaters I was filming were jumping over a steel housing for trash cans, as it looks cool on film. In order to film at this particular spot with my particular lens, one must stand inside this steel enclosure. Therefore, it is physically impossible for me to have been blocking free movement of anyone, unless they wished to join me in the trash housing!
Anyways. Try to avoid LA for the rest of your life. Just my best advice. It doesn't consist of movie stars on every corner and dreams being fulfilled for everyone, no it consists of poverty, corruption, way too many drugs, etc. It also smells like broken dreams and piss.
Thanks for wasting your time reading this!

What is a standard drink?A standard drink is any drink containing 10 grams of alcohol. One standard drink always contains the same amount of alcohol regardless of container size or alcohol type, that is beer, wine, or spirit.
A standard drink is a unit of measurement. In the same way one metre measures a particular distance travelled, one standard drink measures a particular amount of alcohol consumed.
What is the standard drink used for?Instead of counting glasses or containers, drinkers count standard drinks as a way of keeping track of how much alcohol they consume. Counting standard drinks is a much more reliable measure of how much alcohol is consumed compared to counting glasses, bottles, or cans. Counting glasses, bottles, or cans of alcohol can be misleading because they can contain varying amounts of alcohol.
The consumption limits in the Australian Alcohol Guidelines are based on the standard drink concept.
How many standard drinks in....?The number of standard drinks in alcohol beverages is always shown on the label of the container.
Examples of how many standard drinks are in typical containers, always check the label or ask bar staff
Standard drinks guide
No label?Bar and restaurant staff can help in identifying how many standard drinks are in glasses, jugs, and other containers that are not labelled. Restaurants and bars do not all have the same size glasses, so the number of standard drinks can vary from one licensed venue to the next.
How are standard drinks calculated?The formula for calculating standard drinks is:
Volume of Container in Litres multiplied by the percentage of alcohol volume multiplied by 0.789, equals the number of standard drinks
0.789 is the specific gravity of ethyl alcohol
For example one stubbie of 375ml of full strength beer 5% alcohol by volume:
0.375 multiplied by 5 multiplied by 0.789 equals 1.5 standard drinks
0.375 X 5 X 0.789 = 1.5 standard drinks
How to count Standard Drinks?Counting standard drinks is simply a matter of adding numbers.
For example if a person has one nip of spirits and two average restaurant glasses of wine, they would have consumed 4 standard drinks, that is 1 + 1.5 + 1.5
An average serve of wine is usually 150ml. Depending on the venue, glass size can vary from 120 to 180ml.
Some people put a bottle cap or a coaster in their pockets to represent every drink they have. This is not as accurate as counting standard drinks but it is better than not counting.
When counting standard drinks, people should be aware of bar staff or others topping up glasses or where the amount of alcohol is not known such as in mixed drinks, cocktails or punch.

STATEN ISLAND, NY -- A new Jewish Community Center in Staten Island, NY, is making changes to its policies to address the concerns of its Orthodox Jewish members. The JCC in Seaview decided to open on Saturdays, which is the Jewish Sabbath. On Saturdays, Orthodox Jews are not allowed to start or stop electrical equipment such as treadmills, work, exchange money or exercise to the point of exertion.
The new JCC is meeting their members' needs by setting separate hours for women and men in the pool, implementing a system so that no money changes hands on Saturdays and not scheduling any Saturday sporting events at the fitness center. "We feel it's the right thing to do," says Lewis Stolzenberg, executive director of the JCC. "We want to make this place very welcoming for everybody. And most Jewish people on Staten Island will recreate on Saturday."

The daily incremental violent Syrian attacks and the orchestrated anti-Syrian political postures of most of the Western countries and some of the Arab states had become a low level war, spear-headed by foreign terrorist groups, some misguided Syrian groups, and vastly divided Syrian political opposition, aimed at the destruction of Syrian civil infrastructure and social fabric rather than the alleged declared goal of ousting of Al-Assad's regime and the installation of Western-type democracy.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980's its friendly allies in the Middle East were left helpless to be claimed by the only remaining world unilateral power; the USA. A scheme of controlling the whole Middle East was morphed under different names during different times according to changing political situations. Such names included the New World Order, the Greater Middle East, the New Middle East, Spreading Democracy in the Middle East, Nuclear Free Middle East, War Against (Islamic) Global Terror, Axis of Evil, and finally the Arab Spring.
The American Power Elite spared no expense of the American tax Dollars, American technologies and military resources to execute the New Middle East scheme, whose ultimate goal is to protect, to preserve and to expand the Zionist project of establishing Greater Israel in the heart of the Middle East to, initially, control the whole region.
The expansionist Zionist Israeli state project had faced major setbacks and is threatened to fail. Israeli citizens are tired of facing insecurity, of constant wars and of losing their sons. Israel's wars against its neighboring Arab countries have become so costly and had failed to accomplish their objective. Israel's 2006 war against Lebanon failed to destroy Hezbollah, who has become a more powerful military opponent. Israel's 2008/2009 war against Gaza Strip had failed to accomplish its objectives despite all the military power Israel had mustered. The Israeli economic situations are becoming so harsh even though Israel is feeding on the American tax money. Jewish alia (immigration to Israel) has been reversed and many young Israelis are leaving back to their parents' original countries. To preserve their Zionist project Zionist leaders needed American help.
The American wars in Somalia, in Iraq, and in Afghanistan proved to be very costly financially, militarily, and politically. These wars plus the American unconditional political, financial and military support for international-laws-violating terrorist Israel have tarnished the image of the USA as a democratic loving society. The deteriorating American economy and the unfair administration's bailouts of corrupting financial institutions had put a heavy burden on the American citizens. Many had lost their businesses, their jobs, and their homes. Encountering beggars at every freeway entrance begging for a dollar or for "work for food" has become a common phenomenon. A report by the American Department of Agriculture states that 17 million Americans, a dramatic increase from 800 thousands in 2011, are under the poverty line and cannot secure their daily meals. It is estimated that 47 million Americans are living on food stamps. People could not take it anymore and started to organize, i.e. the 99% and the Occupy Movements, and to protest the policies of the administration. Many American cities are declaring their bankruptcy one after the other. To preserve control over America and to continue their imperialist expansion the Power Elite had to resort to the old tactic of "Order through Chaos" to accomplish its plans in the Middle Eastern region.
Order through chaos refers to the process of inciting hatred and division between different ethnic and religious groups within a country, whose strategic geopolitical location and natural resources are coveted by the Power Elite, to create military conflicts and terror attacks leading to many human massacres of innocent citizens. Under the allegation of obligation to protect human lives and providing humanitarian aid American and NATO troops are shipped to that country and eventually affect a regime change installing a new government that becomes subservient to Western powers.
Terror groups are also created, financed, trained and armed to wreak havoc in other countries eventually leading to either military coups or Western invasion of that country. Some examples of these Western sponsored terrorist operations go back to Operation Gladio that was responsible for terror attacks, assassinations and coups in European and North African countries. Operation Condor is an American supported campaign of political repression, terror and assassination in Latin American countries such as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil during the late 1970's. Operation Northwoods was a 1962 American covert operation to commit terror attacks against the Cuban community in Miami, to hijack planes, or to blow up American ships and to blame the attacks on Cuban government of Fidel Castro in order to create public support for a war against Cuba. The American failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba had the goal of inciting a popular uprising, similar to the Arab Spring uprisings, against Fidel Gastro. The Salvador Option model consists of American trained and armed military death squads that turned El Salvador in the 1980's and later Iraq in 2003 into virtual killing fields. Al Qaeda is a CIA trained, armed and Saudi financed terror group with the initial goal of attacking former Soviet Union troops in Afghanistan, and then later directed to perpetrate terror attacks against any country the American administration decides to interfere in militarily. Although many evidences and scientific analyses point to a false flag inside job, the 911 terror attack had been used as a justification to invade Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and every other target in the whole world the American administration claimed as a terrorist base. The misguided so-called Arab Spring is another elaborate scheme of new order in the Middle East through chaos, by the manipulation of misguided citizens and the use of state sponsored financed and armed terrorist groups, whose goal is to disintegrate, to divide, and to destroy Arab states neighboring Israel especially Syria and Lebanon.
Syria has always been targeted for a regime change by the Western power elite. In 1949 the CIA had led a coup against then Syrian President Shukri al-Quwatli, who opposed the establishment of Israel, allowed the establishment of a communist party in the country, and opposed the construction of Saudi Arabian oil pipeline. Al-Quwatli regained presidency in 1955 and signed a military pact with the Soviet Union, as a result of the 1956 British/French/Israeli attack on Egypt, providing communism a strong foothold in the Middle East. In 1957 a secret Anglo-American assassination plot was drawn by British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and American President Dwight Eisenhower against al-Quwatli. Syria was pulled in the Lebanese civil war of 1976-1990 when the CIA informed Syria that Israel was about to send troops to occupy Southern Lebanon. Immediately after the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld called for the invasion of Syria too as part of the alleged Spreading Democracy in the Middle East plan. When Rafic Hariri, a former Lebanese Prime Minister, was assassinated in 2005 the American administration hastened to accuse Syria even without any evidence. Now, under the alleged continuation of the so-called Arab Spring, Syria is faced with a terrorist war aimed at the destruction and division of the country.
Syria is the primary target of the Arab Spring scheme due to its support to Lebanese Hezbollah and Palestinian Hamas, who oppose and resist the Israeli occupation and expansion in the region. Besides weakening these resistance groups the collapse of Syrian Al-Assad's regime would open the road to Iran and close any Russian marine access to the Mediterranean Sea. A global anti-Syrian alliance of US, UK, France, Israel, Turkey, some Lebanese factions, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and lately Jordan and Kuwait, was formed to overthrow Syrian Al-Assad regime. This anti-Syrian alliance sent their special operation forces and foreign mercenaries into Syria to incite hatred and conflict by committing terror attacks against different ethnic groups and Syrian forces, while at the same time waged a media war against Syrian government.
There are many so-called Syrian opposition groups such as Syrian National Council (SNC), National Movement for Change, the National Coordination Committee for Democratic Change (NCCDC), the Islamist Movement for the Fatherland, The Bloc for Liberation and Development, the Turkmen National Bloc, and the Kurdish Movement for a New Life among other less popular groups. Each has its own political goals and agenda depending on which foreign country is financing it. Their only uniting factor is the toppling of Al-Assad's regime without any clear plan for what comes after that. The SNC failed to unite all these political factions under its banner, and to unite all the different militia groups under the Free Syrian Army. This failure was due to its calling for foreign military intervention in Syria, a demand strongly rejected by genuine political Syrian oppositional groups such as the NCCDC, who boycotted the "Friends of Syrian" conference in Tunis. The SNC had also ignored the Kurdish demands during its July 2012 meeting in Cairo. Many political oppositional groups did not accept the real goals of the anti-Syrian campaign as declared by Burhan Ghalioun, the President of the SNC, when he stated that the new Syrian government, run by the SNC, would dramatically realign the power structure of the region with the West (and with Israel by implication) and with the reactionary Arab monarchy regimes of the Gulf by cutting off Syrian military pact with Iran, and ending support to anti-Israeli occupation resistance freedom fighters such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
Unlike his father, Bashar al-Assad studied in UK and was exposed to other cultures. He adopted a more lenient form of governing which gained him more popularity among his people. To avoid a destructive fate similar to Libya, Al-Assad's regime adopted serious reforms, called for referendum, established new constitution, called for democratic election, limited the term of presidency, and called for dialogue with the opposition.
These reforms dealt a political defeat to the anti-Syrian alliance, who claimed to seek and support democratic change in Syria. They pushed the opposition groups to reject the new constitution, refuse any dialogue, and demand al-Assad's ousting. At the same time they pushed more weapons and money to the militia groups urging them to spread havoc in the country to create humanitarian crises blamed on the Syrian regime that would lead to foreign intervention. Terrorists, including Al-Qaeda, were shipped to Syria. They attacked cities and perpetrated savage massacres against innocent citizens. Their first massacre in Houla (1, 2, & 3) failed to produce the results they wanted. So they perpetrated other massacres such as Daret Asseh, and Aleppo.
Foreign, American, NATO and Arab, military intervention in Syria was not possible due to the Syrian/Iranian military defense pact and to the Russian and Chinese veto in the UN. The anti-Syrian alliance was left with only one option; military and financial support to the foreign militia, mercenaries, and Al-Qaeda terrorist groups operating in Syria to weaken and to destroy the country. They do that openly, shamelessly, and in violation of all international laws.
The American administration and NATO give themselves the right to invade, occupy, and destroy other countries across the globe under the justification of fighting Al-Qaeda terror groups, they themselves had originally created, while deny the same right to Syrian regime, who is fighting terrorists within its own country.

My God, my God, where has the time gone.
Less funding for schools. No employee pay raises. Service cutbacks for people in need. Construction projects cancelled. Job-creating programs put on hold. Still higher college tuition.
Recently Billy Webb, the husband of our circulation manager and bookkeeper, Renee Webb, dropped off a copy of the November issue of The Kentucky Explorer.
"The best thing about high school was a wonderful teacher named Sister Agatha. Actually, she was much more than a teacher, for whenever I had a problem, I would go to her."
As I write this, it's the morning of Election Day. The polls have been open for an hour-and-a-half.
This year between 30 and 40 million Americans will sell a used car. I'm one of them; I just parted with my old car.
(Editor's note: the following column by Mike Harmon is a response to an accusation made in a letter to the editor that published in this edition. The letter was revised by the author after learning that it contained incorrect information.)
Traditionally, Labor Day is the start of the general election.
It's almost over! The election is less than a week away and after that the states will finally go back to a regular color, at least something other than red, blue and neutral.

Personal Injury occurs when a person has been harmed physically or psychologically by another person or a person's act of negligence. Auto accidents are possibly the most common areas of this practice, but not the only ones. Other areas can include falls, injuries from defective products, dog bites, and even libel or slander. In a personal or bodily injury case, an initial contact with an attorney will likely involve a discussion about: Fault and Damages. If it is unreasonably difficult to demonstrate either fault or damages, the lawyer cannot move a personal injury case forward. The "value" of the case, meaning how much compensation a plaintiff (the one filing the suit) is likely to receive in reimbursement for incurred losses and money paid on top of it as punishment, affects how the case will be handled. It may not even be worth taking to court because the cost of bringing the case equals or exceeds the "value" of the case. However, solid personal injury cases are often "settled" before they ever get to court.Unlike other attorneys, Personal Injury lawyers usually take no money up front. They take their payment as a percentage of the money that is awarded to a successful case and they get nothing if the case loses. This form of payment is called "on contingency". For this reason, Personal Injury attorneys will be easy to find if the case value is a million dollars and harder to find if the case value is $1,000.

San Francisco linebacker Patrick Willis has been selected to the Pro Bowl every season he's been in the NFL, but he still finds motivation in a time when he was told he wasn't good enough.
Willis grew up in Tennessee and wanted to play his college football for the Volunteers, and he said on Monday that the memory of being told Tennessee didn't want him is still fresh.
"I was a Vols fan growing up," Willis said. "That was like America's Team. I wanted to go there so bad. After every game my dad and I would get in the car and drive five hours to go to Knoxville to watch them play on an unofficial visit. This was on our gas money and our time. I just wanted to show them how bad I wanted to be there. I can't forget being there and you have all these other big-time recruits there and they are shaking their hands and the coaches are talking to them. The coaches never shook my hand. They never talked to me. One day I just got tired of doing that. My senior year, I remember going up and saying, 'Coach I see all of the other guys getting love. I really want to come here. I'm interested in coming here. Do you have something for me? Maybe a scholarship offer? Maybe something just saying you want me?' But I didn't get that. I got, 'Well you're having a hard time. We're recruiting two other linebackers, Ernie Sims and Daniel Brooks. Those are the two guys we want.'"
Sims ended up at Florida State and was a good linebacker in college, but not as good as Willis — and he's been nowhere near as good as Willis in the NFL. Brooks went to Tennessee but got kicked off the team and never played in the NFL. Willis still remembers being told those two players were better than him.
"I never forget looking at him and being like he basically said, 'We're not really interested, we don't want you,'" Willis said. "I'll never forget getting in the car with my foster dad and we're riding home and I cried. I cried, not because I was sad, but more so because I knew how badly I wanted to be a Tennessee Vol. I knew what type of player I could be."
Willis proved what kind of player he could be at Ole Miss, where he was a two-time All-American and the winner of the Butkus Award for college football's best linebacker before the 49ers took him with the 11th pick in the 2007 NFL draft. Now Willis is getting ready to show those Tennessee coaches how wrong they were on football's biggest stage.
