May 2008 - Newsletter 88
Memory Lane 'Hoe Down'
During the interval at our recent Basingstoke concert a gentleman mentioned he had seen us on television a few nights before. He described the scene and it clicked that this was a clip from a series we did back in 1978 for the BBC. The programme was called 'Hoe Down' and was a knock out competition between 8 teams of Young Farmers from all over the country. We travelled to Scotland, Wales, East Anglia, Cornwall and Hereford for the heats and a great time was had by all. Ted Moult was chief judge, we assisted and Lance Percival played the part of the city gent who tip-toed through the cow pats with great caution. Some of the games were spectacular. In the final they gave these 18 year old young farmers brand new combine harvesters to race. Forget Formula 1 this was fantastic stuff. I'm not sure Health & Safety would allow it these days but that's progress. We also had a lot of laughs watching the youngsters trying to guide porkers where the porkers didn't want to go. You should try it some time. A determined pig is virtually unstoppable.
Although the gentleman who told me about the TV appearance was very diplomatic in his description I got the distinct impression that, whoever was doing the presentation, was taking the rise out of TV programmes of yesteryear. Let me tell you, Mr. Presenter, that this was an original idea, a lot of fun and watched by millions and if the best thing that current TV can throw up is to sit someone down in front of a camera to criticise the past then this shows a distinct lack of imagination and is a sample of how TV has gone down the pan of late.
Yetminster Fair 'A Proper Dorset Day Out'
What could be better than a fun day out meeting friends and at the same time raising thousands of pounds for local causes? It is quite amazing the distances people travel just to be in Yetminster on magical Fair Day. There a quite a few village fairs about these days but this is one of the originals and one of the very best.
The date for your diaries is Saturday the 12th of July. Ron & June Page will be selling the concert tickets. Their address is 3 Bucklers Mead, Yetminster, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9 6LA. Tel. 01935 872940. For information on camping, stalls for selling your goodies or raising money for your charities etc. please get in touch with Garth Hentley, Clare Cottage, High Street, Yetminster, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9 6LF. Tel. 01935 873239. For accommodation, B & B etc. best ring Sherborne Tourist Information on 01935 815341.
Yetties LPs and Cassettes
My stock is quite low at the moment so if you have any LPs out there just collecting dust and would like to find them a happy home and raise money for a good cause in the process pass them to me and I will do exactly that.
Tucked away in the loft I have the following: Our Friends The Yetties; Dorset Is Beautiful; The World of The Yetties; All At Sea; The Yetties of Yetminster; The Village Band; Up Market and The Yetties. If you would like any of these to add to your collection please ring 01935 814611. They cost £5 each plus £1 P. & P. Cheques to Halsway Manor.
A little while ago a lady accosted me in the street (lucky boy) and asked if I had any cassettes tucked away anywhere because her car didn't have a CD player. This prompted me to have a sort out and this is what I found. 2 copies of The Sound of Cricket, 3 In Praise of Dorset and 2 Dorset My Dorset. If you would like any of these they cost £5 each and a cheque made out to Halsway Manor will secure them for you. This includes post and packing.
Yetties Music Club
We have decided to run a one off Music Club at The Weavers, Westbury, Sherborne on Wednesday 9th of July starting at the usual time of 8p.m. This is a small venue, about 50 people will fill it, so we will have to print tickets. First come, first served. They will cost £6 each and can be obtained from Pete Shutler, Maybank, Marston Road, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9 4BJ. Tel. 01935 814667. Cheques payable to 'The Yetties' please.
Alexander Korbakov Concert
Pete is helping to organise a concert on the 1st of June at The Digby Hall, Sherborne, 7.30p.m., by Alexander Korbakov the great Russian accordion player. He has been to our Music Club a couple of times and it appears he has ten fingers on each hand. His performances are a mix of classical works and folk melodies and for accordion fans this concert is an absolute must.
Alexander is coming here after working in the USA and this will be his first appearance on his tour of the UK.
'His virtuoso playing, his charisma and his quite charm make Alexander a performer of major significance in the accordion world'.
Tickets £10. For more information give Pete a ring on 01935 814667.
Doing the Dorset Dirt
In 2006 I rode The Dorset Dirt, a 50 kilometre of road cycle ride, to raise money for two charities, 'The Children of Fiji' and 'The Dorset Association for the Disabled'. You were all very generous and sponsored my little legs to the tune of over £700. This year I am going to attempt it again to help fund our development of Halsway Manor Library. With the arrival of The Peter Kennedy collection we have enough books etc. to fill the current library 3 times over and something needs to be done fairly rapidly about the situation. Cynthia and I are sorting, repairing and cataloguing the books and putting the relevant information on a database to help research into our heritage. We feel the music, songs, dances, folklore and traditions of Britain are well worth preserving.
Sponsor a leg or even two and we will be very grateful.

LOST Review 4/15/09
Posted by David Torres Categories: Reviews, Television,
In the past few reviews I've posted, I've failed to mention something: LOST ROCKS!!! I know. I know you all know this, but it has to be said every so often. Tonight's episode was great. We had answers to questions, more mysteries, and Star Wars. What more do you want? This week's episode is entitled "Some Like it Hoth". An obvious reference to Star Wars. As this week's episode progressed, I said to myself where is the Star Wars connection? When it was finally revealed, I burst out laughing. I tip my hat to the writers of this week's episode. However, I do have to disagree with Hurley on the Ewoks; they do not suck. Now Jar-Jar Binks? He sucks! Big time! Although the Ewoks were never my all time favorite, I never had the hatred that some people feel for the Ewoks. They were comic relief similar to C-3PO and R2. What does this all have to do with "LOST"? I'll mention that later. The episode "Some Like it Hoth" was an episode that was Miles centric and it revealed more about his past. Lets begin.

"Dead is dead." says Ben Linus in this week's episode of "LOST". It also happens to be the name of this week's episode of "LOST". As mentioned in last week's review, this week's episode focuses on Benjamin Linus and his desire to seek out the smoke monster in order to be judged. This episode is also full of flashbacks on Ben's life from his youth and the moment after his healing from the gunshot wound to the "business" he had to take care of before he got on Flight 316 to head back to the island.
The "dead is dead" line is a reference to John Locke. At the end of last week's episode, Ben was surprised to see that John was alive. The island has brought him back to life and although Ben knew this would happen to John, it's still an unusual thing to see because this shouldn't really happen to anyone on the island. However, the island it seems has chosen John for a special purpose and needs him alive. With that being said, Ben is here more importantly to be judged by the smoke monster for breaking the rules and returning to the island. What is Ben's verdict? Lets us see.

This week's episode is entitled "What Happened, Happened". The title is an appropriate one for this episode as we have to realize that what is happening in the past with the LOST people in 1977 has always been the past. They have not changed things by going back into the past. This isn't "Back to the Future" where an alternate time line has been created. What happened, has already happened and has always been, which is what Miles tries to explain to Hurley here in this episode. I believe Miles represents the voices of the creators and writers of the show here as I think they are using him to talk to the audience as a way of letting them understand what's going on in the show. The past has not changed by the appearance of the "LOST" people in the past, this has always been the past. Get it? The scene was very funny.
This episode however focuses mainly on Kate and her time on the island during the 1970s and her time off the island in 2000s. This was a difficult episode for me as a parent because it explains why Kate left Aaron before she decided to go back to the island and it also shows where Aaron is now. I don't know how I feel about the answers given in this episode. Although Kate is not Aaron's biological mother, she is and has been his mother for the majority of his life. To walk away from him the way she's done is difficult because I don't know if a parent can just do that. I know there are bad parents out there who are capable of doing horrific things to their children, but Kate is portrayed as truly loving and adoring Aaron as her own child. Why leave him to go with Jack back to the island?

LOST Review 3/25/09
Posted by David Torres Categories: Reviews, Television,
This week's episode is entitled "He's Our You". This line is stated in the episode and it's a reference to a Dharma employee named Oldham who lives on the island. He, like Sayid, is experienced in torturing people. As we saw in last week's episode, Sayid is imprisoned by the Dharma people as they believe he is one of the Others. Sayid refuses to go along with Sawyer's plan to pretend to be a defector from the Others so that Sayid can live the Dharma people undercover the way Sawyer has been doing so for the past three years. Horace and the Dharma people believe Sayid is one of the Others and feel that if he's not going to talk, then they must resort to desperate measures to get information out of him - torture.
All of this is almost small potatoes and I don't mind going into all of this here before I tell you to look away for spoilers. The cliffhanger for this week's episode is big and it will probably confuse and freak out some people who aren't into the time travel aspect of the show. I did not see this one coming and it left me wondering where do we go from here?

"LOST" is back this week, thank God. I know it's only been a week, but if you're like me, you needed your "LOST" fix badly. This week's episode was "Namaste". According to Wikipedia, the word namaste is a greeting used by people in India and Nepal. The literal translation is "I bow to you". I didn't read this until after this week's episode, which now puts all of these different theories and ideas in my head about the show as a whole. Maybe this is important. Maybe the word namaste is clue to what the island is all about. We'll see.
When we last saw Sawyer, he had met up with Jack, Kate, and Hurley. Sawyer and his crew are living with the Dharma people in the year 1977. He must now find a way to help these three and still keep the secret that they are all from the future. Sayid is on the island in 1977 and his appearance ends up causing some trouble for Sawyer. Also on the island is Sun, Ben, Frank and everyone else from Flight 316. But the question is when are they?

This week's episode was entitled, "LaFleur". It is entitled "LaFleur" as this is the new name that Sawyer goes by - I explain why later. If I had to describe this week's episode in a sentence I would say that this episode was one serious mind #@%$! Last week's episode left us with Locke resurrected and back on the island after the crash of Flight 316. This week we see the story of Sawyer and his crew after Locke disappeared in the well - and it's some story.
At first I had a bit of difficulty following what was going on, but it soon kicked in after something Daniel said.

Who is telling the truth? Who is right? Who do you trust? Is it Benjamin Linus or is it Charles Widmore? That's that question I came away with from this week's episode. Both men have an obsession with the island and both believe that what they are doing is what's right.
This week's episode is entitled "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" and focuses on Mr. Jeremy Bentham aka John Locke. We know that Locke has left the island in order to bring Jack and the remaining Oceanic survivors back to the island. We also know at some point when John is off the island, he dies. This episode shows from beginning to end his trip and how he ended up dead.

This week's episode was entitled "316". The episode focuses on Jack and the other LOSTies who are off the island. A very good episode that gives us some more mysteries. Now one would say, but that's just your typical "LOST" episode, but not this one. I felt the questions that arose in this episode were shocking and very surprising even for me as a regular "LOST" viewer. How long before we find out the answers to these new mysteries and what other mysteries lie ahead?

So have I told you before that "LOST" is freakin' awesome?! I know I did, but I just want to say it again "LOST" is freakin' AWESOME!!!!!
Wednesday night's episode was entitled "This place is death". When we last left the show, everyone was jumping around through time and we were shown that our old friend Jin had survived the explosion of the boat. To his surprise as he makes it back to the island and that he has been rescued by some French people and a young pregnant woman who is with them is named Danielle Rousseau.
Tonight's episode picks up right where we left off. Spoilers…................

Answers are given, as more questions arise in just another episode of "LOST". Last night's episode is entitled, "The Little Prince". When I read that this would be the name of tonight's episode, I thought of the classic French children's book "The Little Prince". Whether tonight's episode is somehow related to that story, I'm not sure as I've never read it. If there is a "little prince" in this episode it's Aaron as he is one of the focal points of tonight's episode.
In this episode, we again have the goings on of the LOST characters who have left the island and those who are still on it. On the island we have Locke, Sawyer, Juliet, Daniel, Charlotte, and Miles jumping through time; off the island we have Ben and Jack trying to get everyone back to the island.
If you don't want to be spoiled - walk away now….........

Cameron University's Department of Education will examine the issues that accompany teaching military children and other students who frequently change schools on Monday, February 18. The session will feature Dr. Sandy Franklin, Chief of Curriculum Development for the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC). Scheduled from 1 – 3:30 p.m., the presentation will be held in the McCasland Ballroom of the McMahon Centennial Complex and is aimed at education students as well as area principals and teachers. There is no charge to attend. Seats may be reserved by calling the office of Dr. Jennifer Dennis, Chair of the Department of Education, at 580-581-2320 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"The Department of Education is pleased to present this opportunity for educators," says Dennis. "As a participant in 'Operation Educate the Educators,' a joint initiative of MCEC and the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, we want to raise awareness of the needs of military-connected children. This presentation allows us to partner with area educators to develop school cultures that are supportive of students in military families as well as non-military families who frequently change schools."
According to MCEC, military children generally move six to nine times during their K-12 school years. Many make multiple moves during high school years alone, some even during their senior year. In addition to giving up friends and routines, students must deal with other frustrations as they move across state lines or even from school to school, such as academic standards and courses, access to programs, promotion and graduation requirements, programs for children with special needs, and transfer and acceptance of records. Separation from a deployed parent (or parents) raises an additional issue.
These issues can also impact students who frequently change schools for other reasons, such as a parent's job transfer.
Franklin spent 31 years as a public school educator and district-level administrator, with service as an elementary school teacher, assistant principal, principal, and district instructional leader, which encompassed area assistant superintendent responsibilities. Her public school career included service within the Killeen Independent School District, which educates military-connected children and youth of Fort Hood, Texas, the largest active duty armored post in the U.S. Armed Services. Franklin's experiences provide her with a unique perspective on the indomitable spirit of military families.
A graduate of the University of Mary Hardin Baylor with a degree in elementary education and a specialization in early childhood and English, Franklin earned a Master's degree in educational administration from Tarleton State University. She earned her Doctorate in education from Tarleton State University's Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. She holds professional certificates in early childhood, elementary education, mid-management supervision and superintendency.

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
I'm a sucker for chocolate chip cookies so when I saw the beautiful cookies Chelle had made, I had to make them too. I've been curious about recipes from America's Test Kitchen (despite all the hate for them recently). So were these cookies the best? Well they were really good so right now I have three favourites for best chocolate chip cookie. Actually I think I've found more than that. It's kind of overwhelming actually, this search for "the best" one. They're all good so why should I have to pick? Sometimes, okay often times, when I bake something I find myself going back again and again to taste it to see if it's really as good/bad/chocolatey/whatever as I thought it was. Trying to completely analyze the level of awesome that the baked good has attained, and I think I'm going to stop that. Most things are good, some things are bad, and I think you know that as soon as it hits your mouth. Though there are those things that you don't like at first then something compels you to go back and try more and you strangely can't stop yourself from eating something that may not taste that good. Well that doesn't happen too often but I'm sure I'm not the only one!
So back to these cookies. They have nice soft middles and slightly crispy edges and I guess they do fit the title of "thick and chewy", though I think the Neiman Marcus cookies fit the "thick" role better. The thing I don't like about really soft cookies like this one is that they dry out pretty quickly so by day 3 they're nothing like day 1. But then I have really high standards for when a cookie is no longer fresh, whereas I know other people don't mind. I made them with a combination of milk chocolate chips and micro mini eggs, which ended up being not the smartest choice. The cookie dough itself is pretty sweet so I think it's best made with semisweet or my new favourite, bittersweet chocolate. I also want to try adding some coconut to the dough. Mmm coconut. Oh and these NY times chocolate chip cookies that everyone's talking about (that I too plan to make but haven't bought bread flour yet) made me leave the dough in the fridge for 24 hours and compare the immediately baked cookies against 24 hour refrigerated dough baked cookies. And I had a couple of people try them with me - no real difference. But maybe it's only true for that NY times cookie.
EDIT Feb3/11: This is a much better thick chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe, though these ones were good too.
Other cookie recipes:

Any Way You Want It Biscotti
Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Adapted from Baking Illustrated, found on Brown Eyed Baker
Makes about 18 large cookies.
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons (10 5/8 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
1 cup packed (7 ounces) light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat mats.
2. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. Either by hand or with an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined. Add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed just until combined. Stir in the chips to taste.
4. Roll a scant 1/4 cup of the dough into a ball. Hold the dough ball with the fingertips of both hands and pull into 2 equal halves. Rotate the halves 90 degrees and, with jagged surfaces facing up, join the halves together at their base, again forming a single ball, being careful not to smooth the dough's uneven surface. Place the formed dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, jagged surface up, spacing them 2 1/2 inches apart.
5. Bake until the cookies are light golden grown and the outer edges start to harden yet the centers are still soft and puffy (don't be scared to take them out when they look a little underbaked, that's how you get the nice soft cookie), 15 to 18 minutes. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.

Halloween Safety
Stay safe this Halloween with these tips from the Albuquerque Police Department.
See Trouble?
See something wrong? Report injuries or violations of the law by calling 911.
The time for little monsters, super heroes, and ghosts has arrived again.
Halloween is a wonderful part of the changing seasons. Whether you are trick-or-treating, visiting a haunted house, or attending a holiday party, have fun and stay safe with these Halloween tips.
Halloween Safety Tips
- Start early and end early.

01-18-2005, 07:31 PM #1jbsengineerGuestComing back to the Mac - iBook or Mini...
I'm 22 years old. I grew up on apples since i was little. My dad always warned me of the "dark side". My earliest mac i could remember was the good ole performa 600 with 120mb of hard drive. It was great. I used Macintosh right up until OS 9. I love computers and networking. At that point I went to school for windows and tought myself a wealth of "stuff". Also from that point I've yet to own a MAC. At work I'm known as the Windows guy. I build Windows Servers for a university and I'm heading up a migration from Novell to Windows in a 20K student university. I always have my hands in Cisco and Red Hat. Had my MCSE when I was 19 and my CCNA when I was 20. Unfortunatly I have had a void since I left the "cult of mac."
But still can't shell out enough dough to buy a Apple to compete with my dad. I miss them. So when I saw the rumors come true. I went frantic. There is no way I'm passing up a $499 apple mac mini to sit on my desk. I'm counting the days!!
But now I'm starting to lean maybe toward an iBook. I sold my Windows laptop just recently so I have some extra $$ and I'm short a laptop. Although the Mini would be awesome to have. I think i would really like the 12" iBook. Maybe the 14".
So I hope to be welcomed back to the "mac world" in the next few days.
I do have a couple questions before my purchase...
1. In everyone's opinion's how much of a performance different will there be between a Mac Mini1.25ghz and a 12" 1.2 ibook? I'm assuming hardly none beacuse the only difference really is the FSB...
2. This is a FAR STRETCH (but just need to check). But when buying in the apple store i understand they'll throw the ram in there that day if you decide to upgrade. But what about a possible hard drive upgrade... (crossing fingers).
3. Best place to buy ram for a iBook online?
Thanks and I soon hope to be a Mac Guru as well as a Microsoft ("dark side" i know)
- 01-18-2005, 07:44 PM #2meltbanana314GuestOriginally Posted by jbsengineer
1. The mini, the eMac, and the iBook pretty much share the same componets - so there's really no discernable difference unless you can telepathically measure clock speeds to the exact 1/10th of a MHz in your head.
2. Hard drive and memory upgrades can be done in store on the day of purchase, at least from what I've asked Apple and the local Apple competition (Simutek.)
3. Where's the best place to buy ram *anywhere?*
My vote goes to Crucial, but you may have a preference to go elsewhere.
EDIT: Ack. This forum re-shifting has made me lose 10 or so posts.

The mac mini is cool and i would get it if i was looking for my next desktop. i think the mac mini may have slightly better performance b/c the hard drive will faster than the ibook hard drive, (7200 rpm vs 4200 rpm). That being said for me it's all about portability and i love the ibook for it. Secondly performance should not be an issue unless you are going to be running heavy programs. i don't which is why i'm really content with pretty muco any kind of computer. i think the mac mini will be much more difficult to upgrade with 3rd party ram by yourself unlike the ibook. i was told by a friend the mac mini's warrant is voided if you open up the mini. i think this is why on the apple site they tell you that if you don't install the airport card, it cannot installed by anyone except an authorized apple dealer. if that is true, of course you will have research my claims, ram is gonna be expensive if u are forced to buy apple's ram.

I think it's all about your requirements...
If you want to get something you can take over to school, on vacation, on trips - get the iBook.
If you want for use at home, over your friends house occasionally, to take to college - you can save yourself 500$ and get the mini...
It really is so small, you can just take it anywhere and hook it up to existing equipment.
You could even use it for presentations of you have access to a school's projector - just take a mouse and you'd be fine...

1. mini will perform slightly better than ibook(12"), but I am sure you won't be able to tell the difference. But it's 14" then they will be the same. Besides FSB only difference I know is that mini has only one memory slot and ibook has 256MB built-in and one empty memory slot.
2. I believe that as long as you don't open your mini, your warrenty won't be voided even if you use 3rd party memory.
3. I also recommand Crucial.

Good question...

I am assuming that the imac mini will be using a 7200 rpm hard drive b/c most desktop computers use those type of drives. However, i checked the apple website and it doesn't list rpm speed which may lead me to assume perhaps it may be slower to minimize heat in such a small package. In response to the other question regarding installing ram, the mini will obviously have to be opened but i believe it has to be done by an authorized apple dealer to not void the warranty. of course, i may be incorrect as i was told this information but it's good to bring up the topic as many people may buy the imac mini assuming they can install their own ram themselves to save money when it may not be the case.
01-19-2005, 08:32 PM #10jbsengineerGuestI Did It.... Owner Of Ibook!!!
I'm officially a Apple user. I bought a 12" iBook this morning. (Took work off today to play, hehe).
After much thought and research i felt i could do sooo much more with the iBook.
I'm on it right now and using my regular monitors, keyboard and mouse through a KVM. Just like i would with the mini.
What a brilliantly engineering piece of machine. God i love it. I'm so excited to be back. I hope to contribute to the forums soon.
As i am using my ibook through my kvm to my usual keyboard and mice. I dont see a setting where i can tell the ibook not to sleep when i shut the top. Is this possible??
Btw, i saw a few posts about this. iLife 05 obviously was not bundled with the iBook but when i got home i sent in a form on the apple site and for 20 bucks there sending me it when it releases because i bought a cpu after 1/11/05.
Thanks again for all your help. It was very helpful...

I think you made a good choice with the iBook. Pretty much the same as the Mac Mini except you can carry it around wherever you like, and if you want, you can connect it to a monitor easily for a bigger view. Too bad about it going to sleep when shut though....

Well the iBook dissipates a lot of heat up through the keyboard area (feel the palmrests)..
If you were to close the lid with the processor running, you might have a smouldering heap of plastic left when you come back to your 'book...
You'd at least see some screen warping etc.
(btw. that actually happened to someone - smouldering lump that is...)
01-20-2005, 01:27 PM #13jbsengineerGuestinteresting....
then it's obviously not worth it....
now i understand why there is no option for it in the energy saver.
thanks for the heads up.

(sorry, yet to discover how to make that an active link)
Basically that app will enable screen spanning support on your iBook, giving you 2 displays and a much larger desktop area, i've been using it for a couple of weeks now and find it very useful when running loads of apps at the same time.
EDIT: some cleverness seems to have made it a link automatically, handy!

On Tuesday, Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) signed a law requiring welfare recipients to undergo drug testing — potentially providing thousands of new customers to Solantic, a company Scott used to run that is now owned by a trust in his wife's name. The ACLU responded almost immediately with a lawsuit challenging this law, and, as Professor Adam Winkler explains, this lawsuit is very likely to succeed:
Random drug testing is what is known as a "suspicion-less" search. Even without probable cause to believe the person required to pee in a cup has done anything wrong, he or she is forced to turn over bodily fluids for government inspection.
The Supreme Court has upheld the ability of government to mandate random drug tests in a few limited circumstances. The earliest cases held that people with sensitive government jobs in high-risk public safety environments, like railroad operators, or involving national security, like border and customs agents, could be required to submit to testing. The Court's most expansive ruling allowed public high schools to randomly test student athletes, even though the public safety concerns weren't nearly as apparent.
High school students, however, have historically enjoyed fewer constitutional protections than mature adults, and courts have generally frowned upon random drug testing of them. Indeed, courts have stuck down policies just like the ones put in place by Florida this week. (See, for example, here and here.)
Scott's self-enriching drug testing plan is merely the latest example of Republicans ignoring the Constitution to push their own partisan agenda. Indeed, GOP attempts to rewrite the Constitution to achieve their own partisan objectives have become so common that Scott's assault on the Fourth Amendment is almost passé:
- Child Labor: In three separate opinions, conservative Justice Clarence Thomas called for a return to a discredited theory of the Constitution that early 20th century justices used to declare federal child labor laws unconstitutional. Many GOP elected officials — including several sitting senators — have embraced rhetoric suggesting that they agree with Justice Thomas that child labor laws are unconstitutional. Thomas' view of the Constitution also endangers other basic labor protections such as the minimum wage.
- Whites Only-Lunch Counters: In a now-infamous interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) claimed that there are constitutional problems with the federal ban on whites-only lunch counters. Justice Thomas' pre-New Deal understanding of the Constitution also supports Paul's view.
- Education: Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) believes that all federal education programs — including Pell Grants and student loan assistance — are unconstitutional. And he is far from alone among GOP members of Congress.
- Gender Discrimination: Conservative Justice Antonin Scalia recently expressed his view that the Constitution has nothing to say about discrimination against women.
- Ending Senate Elections: Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) recently claimed that the ratification of the 17th Amendment, which allows voters to elect their own senators, "was a mistake." Scalia agrees.
- Social Security and Medicare: Even though the House GOP's plan to eliminate Medicare has thrown the GOP's poll numbers into a nose dive, several GOP senators want to repeal Medicare and Social Security by having them declared unconstitutional.
Scott, however, may win a prize as the first GOPer to sign an unconstitutional law that may be designed to increase his own already massive fortune.

SAN DIEGO—The Harvard heavyweight crew captured the Copley Cup by winning the varsity eight event at the San Diego Crew Classic Sunday morning on windy Mission Bay.
The Crimson came from behind to top California and win its eighth varsity title, its first since 1994, at the prestigious invitational regatta. The second varsity eight also put on an impressive comeback against a Cal boat, but the Golden Bears held on to win the Sharp Cabrillo Cup with Harvard finishing second, far ahead of the rest of the field.
"It was just a really solid row for both of our crews," said Harry Parker, the Thomas Bolles Head Coach for Harvard Men's Crew. "The varsity stayed close enough to Cal to keep the pressure on them and then rowed a very strong body of the race, which is what you have to do. The JV did the same thing, but Cal was too fast off the line and we couldn't quite catch them."
Cal took an early two-seat lead in the varsity grand final, but Harvard hung close through the first half of the race and made a strong move heading into the 1,000-meter mark. The Crimson pulled ahead of the Golden Bears early in the third 500 meters and used another surge at 1,500 meters to leave Cal behind, winning by eight seats in 6:17.88.
The Bears finished 2.75 seconds back. Navy placed third and Cornell was fifth to make it three Eastern crews in the top five. Stanford placed fourth. The winning Harvard crew was made up of coxswain David Fuller and oarsmen Patrick Lapage, Michael DiSanto, Sam O'Connor, Parker Washburn, Caspar Jopling, Josh Hicks, Andrew Holmes and James O'Connor.
In the second varsity grand final, Cal again jumped ahead, this time by a wide margin. The Bears were a boat length ahead of the field just 250 meters into the race and led by open water after 500 meters. Harvard patiently gained ground on Cal as the race progressed. The Crimson got within five seats by the midway point, and the teams were racing neck-and-neck with 500 to go. Cal then used one more surge in the final 250, winning by 2.7 seconds in 6:19.26. Harvard's time of 6:21.99 was 7.5 seconds better than the third-place Cal B entry.

This traditional tree shimmers and shines with its ribbon and ornaments in classic colorings. A hearty, festive bow tops it all off.
Great Big Tree
Inspired by the home's equestrian history, horse figures and plaids prevail in this house's design. The great room's towering tree dazzles with hundreds of red, gold, and plaid ornaments.
Design: Alison Sherman
Pink Statement
Because the homeowner decided she wanted to use pink to make a statement on her tree, she topped it with a giant, playful pink bow. An array of ornaments—many pink—in different sizes mix with white doves to create visual interest.
Design: Emily Janson
Tropical Touch
The sea-inspired palette of turquoise and lime in this Savannah home carry over to the holiday decorations. The glass balls on the tree and the colorful wrapping of the gifts underneath reflect the seaside tones. A palm frond tree topper is the perfect final touch.
Simply Festive
Pinecones, berries, and candy canes adorn this tree as well as botanic postcards. Ribbons threaded through punched holes turn the cards into ornaments.
Design: Lauren Muse
The Weather Inside's Delightful
With "snow-brushed" branches, assorted pinecones, and cranberry bunches, the natural theme of this tall tree brings the beauty of winter inside without the cold.
Shining Starburst
The large, glittery starburst atop the tree is enhanced by thick curly ribbons in red and gold. Decorative ribbon can be a fun element to add the usual ornament-and-light mix.
Winter WIndow
Basking in natural light by day and glowing in the dark by night, we love the way a full, decorated tree looks in a window bump out.
Ho, Ho, Home
Cheerful red pops against the fresh, green tree. The multitude of Santa ornaments pays tribute to the big man himself.

Details on the following slide.
Colorful Details
A mixture of ornaments in varying colors, shapes and textures dangle on the branches of the tree.
Here, a large white fir tree decorated simply in blue and silver ornamental balls with ribbon streaming from the top creates a classic Christmas atmosphere. Gifts crowd around the base of the tree, sparking the children's excitement. Symmetry is perfected with twin wreaths hanging outside the windows, while the home's bright interior invites the snowy landscape inside.
See details on the following slide.
Bedroom Bounty
A tree in the bedroom is a fun way to spread the holiday spirit throughout the home, as well as a chance to experiment with holiday themes. This bedroom's woodsy palette is taken to the next level with a tree decorated with small birds, gold icicles, and other natural elements.
Mini and Merry
Tiny trees throughout the home are a charming way to spread cheer. In this entry hall, gold rings and pinecones provide the pretty.

A host of holiday decorations keeps this large tree from darkening the sunny living room. Santas, reindeer, snowflakes, icicles, and colored balls gleam from the tree's ample branches.

Classic and Cozy
Nothing says Christmas like a tree and roaring fire. Simple white lights on the tree illuminate its folksy ornaments without competing with the room's color palette. Fresh boughs over the mantel add another layer of charm.
A Tree with Imposing Height
Verticality counts in this vaulted living room. Reflecting the stately mantel and high ceilings, this tree stands tall while minimizing its impact on the floor space. Thick ribbons wind through its branches; shimmering ornaments are right at home in the room's warm color scheme.
Sing a Song of Christmas
"The perfect Christmas tree? All Christmas trees are perfect."

Notice how placing the tree by the piano adds instant warmth to the room.
Radiant streams of light come from this showstopping Christmas tree, beautifully framed with the entryway connecting the dining room to the living room, accented by classical statuary.

Surprise guests and spread Christmas cheer by scattering small trees throughout your home. Try decorating them in unexpected palettes like this one of turquoise, green and gold.

The Rugby Championship
Meyer set to keep the faith
ESPN Staff
August 27, 2012
Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer is unikely to make widespread changes ahead of his side's clash with Australia on September 8 © Getty Images
South Africa coach Heyneke Meyer is set to resist the urge to shake up his side following their 16-16 draw with Argentina in their Rugby Championship clash on Saturday.
The Boks battled back from a 13-3 half-time deficit to snatch a share of spoils at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza and evade a first-ever defeat at the hands of the Pumas.
Meyer has since accepted that his side's performance was "not acceptable" and while acknowledging the performance of their rivals, admitted that a lack of experience cost the visitors.
With the likes of John Smit, Victor Matfield and Jaque Fourie having retired and others such as Fourie du Preez, Bakkies Botha, Danie Rossouw and Gurtho Steenkamp all ineligible as they are playing overseas, Meyer saw his resources drained yet further ahead of their latest outing due to injuries to Schalk Burger, Bismarck du Plessis, Pierre Spies and JP Pietersen.
The injury cloud is not going to lift before Meyer announces his latest squad for the forthcoming matches against Australia and New Zealand but he is still not going to make a raft of changes.
"It's easy to say throw people out and pick new ones, but that's not coaching, that's picking," he told reporters on his return to South Africa. "I've been in this position a few times as a coach and the easiest thing is just to cut players, but that won't move you forward. We've already lost a lot of leadership and then you'd be throwing out what little experience you've got."
Meyer also agreed that his side must raise their game against Australia in Perth (September 8) and New Zealand in Dunedin (September 15) if they are to challenge for the southern hemisphere crown.
"The next two games will be even tougher and we have to improve," he said. "I know we can do it, but the only way the side will improve is by coaching them, improving their technique and mental strength."

(Macropus rufus)
The Red Kangaroo has a naked muzzle with a black and white mark on the sides of the muzzle and a broad white stripe running from the corner of the mouth to base of the ear. Their fur is rather short and velvety to the touch. The front limbs of a Red Kangaroo are small and short with heavily-clawed digits. The hind feet are long and extremely powerful enabling the Red Kangaroo to travel at speeds as fast as 65kph (40mph).
Female 'reds' are often called 'blue flyers' due to the blue-grey colouring of their fur.
The Red Kangaroo is found over most of Central Australia. They prefer sparsely wooded or open plains with plenty of shade. They will also occupy mallee scrub and the more arid desert portion of Australia. The Red Kangaroo has adapted well to these hot and dry conditions (where rainfall is less than 500mm per year) and numbers in these areas are abundant.
They normally move in groups ranging from a few dozen to several hundred individuals. These groups are known as mobs. The mob usually consists of a dominant male, a number of adult females, several subordinate males and juveniles of both sexes.
The Red Kangaroo has the ability to survive on very small water rations. The herbage and foliage that the Kangaroo eats provides them with their water needs as well as their nutritional requirements. In times of drought, Red Kangaroo populations can suffer as their food supplies diminish.
The Red Kangaroo breeds all year round. The females have the unique ability to delay birth of their baby until their previous Joey has left the pouch. This is called embryonic diapause. The gestation period is around 33 days. The young Joey will permanently leave the pouch at around 235 days old, but will continue to suckle until it reaches 12 months of age.
Red Kangaroo Profiles
Sex: Female
Now this is a red roo that loves to play jokes on the other kangaroos - our cheeky Pebbles likes to creep up on her mob mates and grab their tails and then hop away.
She is a striking kangaroo with very pretty features especially around her face, just like her beautiful mum Dusty.
With such a cheeky nature we are always keeping an eye on her so that she does not teach any of the new joeys her sneaky tricks!

Financial Advancement Network (FAN) Clubs
FAN Clubs are groups of 5-20 people who commit to meeting on a regular basis to improve their money management habits, rectify troubled financial situations, and pursue their financial goals. Groups may be formed by those who share a place of employment, school, church or temple, an association, or a social service agency, etc.
Each FAN Club consists of six sessions, conducted by an expert, on topics such as "saving for tuition," "paying down debt," "improving your credit score," or "implementing a balanced budget." FAN Clubs encourage members to speak up about their progress in reaching personal financial goals.
Once a group commits to hosting a FAN Club at a particular site, UAC trains the club host to start the club and recruit members. UAC continues to work closely with both the host and the club leaders (President and Vice President) to help make individual clubs a success.
Click here to visit the FAN Club website!
FAN Clubs may be organized according to level, subject matter, purpose, or types of members.
- Foundations: managing a checking and savings account, creating and using a spending plan, and using and establishing good credit.
- Advanced: personal financial planning, retirement planning, investing, risk management and insurance, and wills and estate planning.
- Thematic: investment, credit-building, entrepreneurship, and homeownership
The Financial Advancement Network is an initiative of the Urban Affairs Coalition that is supported by the Coalition's Community and Economic Department (CED). The CED's mission is to bring capital to communities by building bridges between low- and moderate- income areas and mainstream financial institutions.
Want to start a FAN Club?

GPA EXAMINATION/MAY 1965 The Firm extends hearty congratulations to more than 80 members of the staff who successfully completed the CPA Examination in May 1965. And we are proud to report that Richard L. Hunt won Honorable Mention in competition for the American Institute's Elijah Watt Sells Awards; John E. Kess-ler received this distinction in the November 1964 examination, along with two others already named in our last issue. Dick Hunt sat for the examination while he was still in college. He joined our Los Angeles staff in June, when he graduated from Loyola University (L.A.) with a BBA degree. John Kessler spent the summer of 1963 in our Dallas Office after graduating with high honors from the University of Illinois. He returned to Urbana for graduate work, held a teaching assistantship under Professor C. A. Moyer, and came to our Chicago Office with an MAS degree this June. The Haskins 6- Sells CPA Examination Study Guide apparently continues to improve substantially a candidate's chances of success. For 12 weeks before the examination it helps him to devote 18 hours a week to systematic preparation, guided by a study director with whom he meets regularly and who reviews with him his answers to practice examinations. The course draws on the Firm's years of experience in helping candidates reach a peak of readiness for passing this first and all-important milestone in their careers. BALTIMORE John T.

Raise your milkshakes, dairy lovers -- a Facebook ban on dairy promotions has been partially lifted.
The social-networking giant had banned certain items from promotions: gambling, tobacco, firearms, prescription drugs, gasoline and dairy.
One of those things is not like the other, said Center for Consumer Freedom research director David Martosko.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"It's dumbfounding, and just plain dumb," said Martosko. "Why would anyone lump milk with cigarettes and prescription painkillers? Does Facebook believe cottage cheese and yogurt should be controlled substances?"
"Ice cream isn't combustible, flammable, or addictive, and it doesn't shoot projectiles," Martosko said.
On Friday, Facebook responded to CCF, saying the promotions guidelines will be updated.
"We're all big fans of strong bones at Facebook and we will soon revise our promotions guidelines to lift the complete ban on dairy and simply prohibit giving dairy away as a prize," said Andrew Noyes of Facebook.
The ban on dairy promotions was due to "individual state laws that impose penalties for distributing dairy at a discounted rate. We're sorry for the confusion," said Noyes.
The CCF thanked Facebook for the update, and planned to send them a basket of cheese on Monday.
"It would be nice if Facebook were universally dairy-friendly. But still, this is a step in the right direction," according to a CCF statement.

In Brief: Politico's Article on Obama's Media "Manipulation" Lacks a Mirror:
The Rude Pundit read with interest the cleverly titled political publication, Politico, and its cleverly titled article, "Obama, the Puppet Master" by that guy who looks like a funeral director and that bald guy with the crazy eyes. From what he gathered from the frothy whine of self-pity that the article is, reporters is sooo vewy mad because mean ol' Barack Obama won't talk to them like they believe they should be talked to and as often as they would like.
Look at that title again, calling the President a "puppet master." Now, the puppets being referred to are not the easily manipulated public, but the media itself: "President Barack Obama is a master at limiting, shaping and manipulating media coverage of himself and his White House." And the article lists various ways that the media is manipulated, like the weekend document dump or not giving interviews to "tough" journalists at the New York Times or Washington Post. Also, the White House "punishes" media outlets and reporters who say bad things about it, so they avoid doing so.
The missing component in the entire thing was an awareness that reporters don't have to be puppets. And news outlets can call bullshit all the time. Serious question: is it more important to be in the front row at a press conference or to dig in and investigate something like the number of civilians killed in drone strikes? Because right now, the answer is "Oooh, ooh, call on me, Mr. President."
See, it's not merely that the press gets caught up in the stupid, Fox "news"-driven trivia like Skeetgate. It's not that, as Chuck Todd points out, that every president back to at least Nixon manipulated the press to his advantage. It's that the mainstream media has pretty much abdicated its role as a check on power, something that was quite clear during the Bush administration.
In other words, shut the fuck up and do some reporting. Stop waiting for scraps to dribble from the lips of leaders and go out and do your goddamn jobs. And stop pretending as if stories like Clinton getting oral in the Oval Office or birther bullshit are important at all.
Like maybe reporting about the lack of transparency and the punishing of leakers in this White House as an issue for all of America, not just for a few DC reporters whose asses feel a bit chapped.

MWC 15 Special
As you might have seen, the past 24 hours the site wasn't reachable or in a kind of screwed up design/layout only... Well, what started out as a 30 minute database maintenance only ended in a fiasco... Nah, not really in a fiasco because all the time I was in the driver seat and knew what I did (did I?). ;-) However, finally I've managed it to bring the site back - more or less - into that state it left the web yesterday and 'everything' works fine again. However, because the work on the database is still in progress, I had to temporarily disable comments posting. You still can read the previous comments but in the moment you can't contribute new comments. Sorry for that but it's easier for me to work on a database where I don't have to take care about new postings which also means your postings can't be lost. I'm continuing the work over the weekend and hope to have it back latest Monday morning!
As before - when the site was in maintenance mode - the PPCW.Net Forum and the PPCW.Net Hardware Shop are not affected and you can continue posting your questions, answers and thoughts in the Forum as well as you can continue to order the PPCW.Net Windows Mobile devices. ;-)
Cheers ~ Arne

Breastfeeding Benefits Babies
Breastfeeding gives your baby comfort and nutrition.
- Breastfeeding gives your baby the comfort of being close to you as well as the comfort of sucking. Breastfeeding makes you and your baby feel relaxed.
- Breastfeeding decreases stress hormones in your baby and in your body too!
- Breastfeeding has pain-relieving pain properties for your baby.
- Breast milk contains everything your baby needs to grow and develop the healthiest body possible. Your breast milk changes as the baby grows to give baby the
- nutrition he needs! Since the nutrients come from a human source, it perfectly matches the baby's digestion and is digested rapidly and easily.
- Your breast milk has many proteins that fight bacteria and viruses, and may reduce ear infections.
Breastfeeding protects your baby against disease.
- Formulas come from a cow or soybean source which gives your baby foreign proteins that are difficult for him to digest and may lead to an increase in allergies, diabetes, ear & respiratory infections, gastrointestinal diseases, colds and flu.
- Formula has no disease fighting or protective components.
- Breastfed infants receive protection that lasts a lifetime:
- Lower incidence of sudden infant death syndrome
- (SIDS) and serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
- Formula fed infants have a greater incidence of ear infections, diarrhea, respiratory illness, gastrointestinal illness, and SIDS.
Breastfeeding benefits your health.
- Women who breastfeed have decreased rates of breast and ovarian cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, a high blood pressure and heart disease.
- Breastfeeding will help you lose baby weight, and reduces postpartum bleeding.
- Breastfeeding promotes your baby's growth and development.
- Breast milk contains enzymes and hormones that help baby's digestion and promote healthy growth.
- The milk of mothers whose infants were born prematurely has more protein and other nutrients specially needed to meet the growth needs of the premature baby.
- Breast milk contains important fats that help your baby's brain grow. Breastfed babies have higher intelligence scores. These important fats also make your baby have better vision.
- Formula has no enzymes or growth promoting factors. Formula fed infants are more likely to be overweight, and develop diabetes and heart disease as adults.
Breastfeeding saves you time and money.
- Formula costs over $1,700 a year, not including supplies. Plus it takes time to buy and mix formula, and wash and prepare bottles. Breast milk is always fresh, free, and ready to feed.
- Since breastfed babies get sick less, it means less money spent on doctor visits, medicines, and hospitalizations.
- Less time lost from work to stay home with a sick baby

Wow, what a gorgeous wee graveyard on a terrace looking across river plains toward Mt. Oxford and Mt. Richardson.
I found gravestones with a few unusual surnames including McKIBBEN, WOLFF (with inscriptions written in German), FRIZZELL, BUNZ, and NANKIVELL.
There are many gravestones for the families of GARLAND, WOOD, COOPER and FRIZZELL.
Remember, names listed on Hunting Kiwis are only the MAIN name on the gravestone. Most gravestones have two or three people listed on them – some as many as six!
I hope to finish Waddington and Springfield (Kowhai Pass) this week, so check back often. And don't forget, to receive notification of list updates, subscribe to this blog.
Best wishes all.

S€EME Keeping its guard up In Seattle, a bank moves. Men load roughly $3 billion in cash and securi-ties onto handcarts, wheel the treasure out of a bank and stash it in silver gray, box-shaped bucks. Other men, armed with pistols, shotguns and submachine guns, hover nearby, The operation is quick and quiet. In San Francisco, an armored car and its crew escort the Beatles and their electronic accoutrements from the airport to their hotel. In Edmonton, two armed guards and an armored car show up in a picture on the society page of the daily newspa-per—as background for a model. It's all in a day's work for the men of Loomis Armored Car Service, a sub-sidiary of Loomis Corporation, client of H&S Seattle. A family business that re-cently went public, Loomis now has 45 branches in the United States and Canada. It all started around the turn of the century when Lee B. Loomis began hauling gold by dogsled and mule train out of the Yukon and Alaska. In those days, Mr. Loomis offered his customers security— 1900s style—by strapping on a revolver. In 1925 he moved to Port-land, Oregon, where he modernized his security style by acquiring his first armored car. The heavy vehicle gen-erated interest and curiosity in the community, hut not much business. Two years later a crime wave con-vinced businessmen that sending large 26 sums of currency by messenger was un-safe and outmoded. Within five years, Lee Loomis began branching out. Since the Roaring Twenties armored cars and concepts of security have come a long way. Though they are called cars (perhaps because the ear-liest models were converted automo-biles), the armored vehicles are actual-ly trucks, custom-made to Loomis spe-cifications. The cost runs around $12,-000 each, but they provide good value because their life expectancy is about ten years. One old favorite of the fleet is a 1955 two-ton truck, which sur-vived into 1968 and ran half a million miles. Then it was converted to ac-commodate a new, larger engine and began a second life. H&S accountants working on prop-erty records for Loomis don't have to be concerned about trade-ins on armored cars. According to Charles A. Pancerzewski, H&S principal in Seattle, where Loomis now has its head-quarters: "For security reasons, the trucks are cut into scrap when they become unusable." Today, under the direction of Lee Loomis' son, Walter, and his grandson, Charles, the company provides 1970-style security. It operates on the prin-ciple that Loomis is a transportation organization whose key service is pro-tection. The 200-unit fleet of armored vehicles in various sizes have remote-control door locks, gas-proof ventila-tion systems and bullet-proof glass. Re-volvers, however, are never very far out of the picture. Drivers and guards must maintain proficiency in firearms by frequent range practice. In 1969, Loomis won the National Armored Car Association pistol matches competing against marksmen from most armored car companies in the United States. The 800 high-caliber Loomis guards, custodians, patrolmen and drivers un-dergo continual training, making the Loomis motto, "Safety With Dispatch," more than just a slogan. One guard, a 30-year veteran with Loomis, said, "I've never been in a holdup and I probably never will be. But we are trained to expect trouble at any time and we're ready for it." Loomis vigilance extends over all sorts of cargo—gold bullion, hard cash, jewels, art treasures—a cartage that averages half a billion dollars a day for banks, brokerage houses, supermarkets, toll booths; from Hawaii to Alaska, from San Francisco to St. Paul, and across western Canada. Not long ago Loomis delivered 13,000 ancient coins to the vault of the Royal Bank of Can-ada, some of them Grecian pieces dat-ing back to the sixth century B. C. It is a measure of the Loomis Cor-poration's reputation for responsibility that the Beatles have written into their contract that Loomis is to provide offi-cial escort whenever the British rock group appears in San Francisco.

You may have heard about Carnivore, a controversial program developed by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to give the agency access to the online/e-mail activities of suspected criminals. For many, it is eerily reminiscent of George Orwell's book "1984." Although Carnivore was abandoned by the FBI in favor of commercially available eavesdropping software by January 2005, the program that once promised to renew the FBI's specific influence in the world of computer-communications monitoring is nonetheless intriguing in its structure and application.
What exactly was Carnivore? Where did it come from? How did it work? What was its purpose? In this article, you will learn the answers to these questions and more!

The King Cobras Profile is breathtaking. This particular reptile is so intimidating it can actually stand up and look you in the eye. When he does, you know he means business. The King Cobra is one of the venomous snakes alive on the planet. King Cobras reach about 18 feet in length which equals the longest venomous snake around. One of the most intimidating things about this particular snake is its iconic hood. This is the part of the snake that flares when they are confronted. They also release a chilling hiss while in that state that resembles the sound of a dog growling. The Cobra has a life span in the wild of 20 years. An interesting fact about their venom is that it is used in some pain relievers and arthritis medication. Believe that. In this tutorial I try and show you "how to draw a snake", with a few steps. The actual line art looks better than it being colored. I did have a difficult time sketching out the scales and the amount of detail in actual head of the snake. My online tutorial makes drawing a snake a lot easier because you don't have to figure out how to draw it, all you have to do is follow the directions. I know there are some flaws but that is okay you can learn from my mistakes. Have fun and you don't even have to color him. Before I go I would like to mention that this sketch only took me 4 hours to draw. I should've took a little more time with it I know.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Cannes 2013 Articles
Cannes Film Festival 2013 news, gossip, photos, and video.
Oscar on his own
LOIC VENANCE/ Vittorio Zunino Celotto/ Gareth Cattermole/ Pascal Le Segretain/ Getty
Look what happened! On the final day in Cannes, Oscar Isaac was at the Palais and Justin Timberlake wasn't there to cockblock him. Which means we have lots and lots of photos -- good photos! -- of Oscar to enjoy. Oscar accepted the Grand Prix prize for Inside Llewyn Davis on behalf of the Coen Brothers. Full Story
Best of Cannes 2013: Hong Kong on the Croisette

Tony Leung came to support Carina Lau. She was kinda overdressed in purple Elie Saab at the photo call and wore white Elie Saab, with a split-back cape, on the carpet. You know I can't hate on anything with a cape, even if it is the terminally boring Elie Saab. Again, as previously noted, Carina turns 48 this year. Full Story
Best of Cannes 2013: Nicole Kidman
Vittorio Zunino Celotto/ Andreas Rentz/ ALBERTO PIZZOLI/ Pascal Le Segretain/ Getty
As expected, Nicole Kidman won the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival this year. No one else came close. There were some looks I liked more than others. But overall, it was a spectacular showing. Here are Nicole's final two dresses at the Palais. Last night she was in a rather boring white Armani. Full Story
Cannes 2013 Wrap: Award Season shapes up
Vittorio Zunino Celotto/ LOIC VENANCE/ Getty
With Steven Spielberg, never the most controversial or daring filmmaker in a room, as the jury president, many expected the Cannes prizes to go to Hollywood-friendly films, but Spielberg surprised many when his jury picked the French film Blue is the Warmest Colour, adapted from a French graphic novel about a girl falling in love with an older woman, for the Palme d'Or. Full Story
The Immigrant Marion
Andreas Rentz/ ANNE-CHRISTINE/ VALERY HACHE/ Getty
James Gray, a Cannes favourite, screened his highly anticipated The Immigrant today at the festival. The reviews I've read have been medium to good. Once again, Gray is working with his muse, Joaquin Phoenix. They say however that he may have found a new one in Marion Cotillard. Her performance is generating some serious buzz. Full Story
Granny Freeze and This Hot Bitch
Wenn, Splash, ALBERTO PIZZOLI/ Getty
This Hot Bitch... Look at her. Sharon Stone. She's a big deal in Cannes, every year, and she works hard for amfAR, and she was working it hard last night at the annual gala raising money for AIDS research in a white gown that was made for retired strippers. Check out the back of it. Full Story
Well I hope his "schedule" doesn't change
As I mentioned yesterday in this post, a trip to space accompanied by Leonardo DiCaprio was auctioned off at the amfAR gala in Cannes last night for $1.5 million. Another prize involving Leo was available -- premiere tickets to The Wolf Of Wall Street, a luxury hotel stay, and Chopard watch, and invitations to Oscar parties -- and that went for $2. Full Story
Jessica Chastain's great hair and Leo's trip to space

Cannes Thursday is always amfAR. Every year, Harvey Weinstein auctions off a kiss or something. No, not him, don't worry. Either Ryan Gosling or Robert Pattinson, or whichever "hunk" is available at the festival that year. Not sure if there's a kiss to bid for this year but according to Page Six Full Story
Ebola infects Cash Money
It has been two years since I dedicated a post to Hollywood Ebola Paris Hilton. For those of you new to the site, here's why it's called Hollywood Ebola: because everything it's associated with goes to sh-t, bleeds out, professionally and personally. Most recent victim: Brian Urlacher. Full Story
Nicole Kidman's Hathaway Oscar dress
VALERY HACHE/ Stuart C. Wilson/ Getty
I'll add more photos as they become available but wanted to get this article off asap. Here's Nicole Kidman, with Ang Lee, at the Palais in Cannes tonight. That dress looked familiar to me. I thought it might be Valentino Haute Couture. It sure looks like it. And it sure looks like the one Anne Hathaway was supposed to wear to the Oscars before her last-minute change into the pink Prada to avoid clashing with Amanda Seyfried, you remember?

The November 20, 1930 Muscatine Journal and News-Tribune (Muscatine, IA) ran a short blurb announcing that Televox — a robot you might remember as the husband of one Mrs. Katrina Van Televox — would be making an appearance at a local Iowa high school.
"Televox," the mechanical man, one of the outstanding miracles of modern science, will perform for the students of the Muscatine high school at the high school auditorium Friday at 8:40 a. m., Henry Van Hettinga, principal, announced today. This will be the high school's first taste of the High School Assembly association talent this year.
This is a treat that is always in demand in the schools which are members of the assembly association. This mechanical human, often called the "servant of the future," was built in the East Pittsburg laboratories of the Westinghouse Electric company. It will be demonstrated Friday morning by W.A. Wheeler, an expert electrician.
One of his special tricks is that of using the telephone in much the same manner as a human being. He will perform many other interesting tasks. An admission of 10 cents will be charged.
