The American news media was always biased toward the left, but never, in my judgement, were they as blatantly obvious about it as the Israeli media. That seems to have changed, however. Get a load of this Associated Press article from today. It's about Palin's remarks regarding Obama's "palling around" with 1970's Weather Underground terrorist bomber Bill Ayers. (Ayers held a parlor meeting in his home in 1995, at which Obama spoke, to promote Obama's campaign for State Senator. He also donated to Obama's campaign in 2001. See more in this New York Times article.)
As you read the AP article, keep reminding yourself that this is supposed to be a news article from America's premier wire service, not an editorial or a political campaign ad. Note particularly the following paragraphs:
While it is known that Obama and Ayers live in the same Chicago neighborhood, served on a charity board together and had a fleeting political connection, there is no evidence that they ever palled around. And it's simply wrong to suggest that they were associated while Ayers was committing terrorist acts.
Nonetheless, Palin made the comments at two appearances in separate states.
Clearly, the AP has decided for the rest of us that hosting Obama in his home doesn't constitute "palling around". And never mind that Palin didn't say that Obama and Ayers were associated at the time of the Ayers' terror attacks.
In an interview with CBS News earlier in the week, Palin didn't name any newspapers or magazines that shaped her view of the world. On Saturday, she cited a New York Times story that detailed Obama's relationship with Ayers.

"Astonished": Beverly Donofrio's new memoir about how an act of violence can transform spiritual life
Beverly Donofrio is coming to Tattered Cover on March 19, which is great news. I'd loved her second memoir "Looking for Mary," which told how Donofrio — a lapsed Catholic in her 40s — began collecting Virgin Mary kitsch at yard sales. Her rekindled love for Mary led her to uproot her life with a spontaneous move toMexico, where the Virgin is celebrated on a daily basis, interwoven into the tiny details of everyday life.
Her new memoir, "Astonished," picks up where the last one left off, detailing the next step in her spiritual seeking. It begins in Mexico, where she'd built herself a house in the old colonial town of San Miguel de Allende. In her 50s, she lived with style and passion: she took salsa lessons, painted icons, went to art openings, took yoga classes. Then one night, just as she is about to embark on a pilgrimage to monasteries, she is raped.
Her life is radically changed – and at a time when her conversion experience, triggered by that Virgin Mary kitsch, had begun to dim, "and God began to fade like fabric in the sun."
This memoir details her five-year journey toward healing and deeper faith, and includes her visits to two monasteries in Colorado– St. Benedict's Trappist Monastery in Snowmass, and Nada Hermitage in Crestone. What's appealing about the writer is that she's no angel–a sardonic hipster from the '60s whose first memoir, "Riding In Cars With Boys," was made into a movie starring Drew Barrymore. She'd had an interesting life.
"I was a single mother without a car when there were no day-care centers," she writes in "Astonished."
"I was evicted, twice; fired from jobs, twice; considered becoming a prostitute to pay for a dentist; I was arrested for possession of marijuana. All those mistakes, missteps, hard times, all those knocks made me tough, tough enough to survive this latest blow."
Donofrio, thinking hard about becoming a nun living in strict solitude and contemplative prayer, ends up living as a lay Carmelite at Nada for four years. As someone who lives in Colorado, it's fun to watch her discover its beauty for the first time, especially in Crestone, where she's surrounded by mountain lions, coyotes and a big black bear.
"They're all part of the wilderness here, like the lightning that ricochets off Mount Carmel; like a double rainbow; a fire-red, cloud-tumbled sky rolling toward the San Juans at sunset; wind devils; tumbleweed; a fox tail disappearing in a strand of pinions; thunder shaking the building," she writes. "Or a voice calling in the wilderness, 'Be still and know that I am God.'"
Donofrio will read from her new memoir at the Tattered Covered, 2526 E. Colfax Avenue, on Mar. 19 at 7:30 p.m.

Canapes & Constellations - Rooftop Planet Gazing in Darwin 2017
Ramada Suites Zen Quarter
Friday, 5 May 2017 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm (ACST)
Event Details
Join us for a magical evening under the stars at Darwin's only rooftop venue, situated on the 16th floor at Ramada Suites Zen Quarter.
Start the night viewing Darwin's spectacular sunset and then stargaze at the planets. This may be the only rooftop in Australia ideal for Urban Stargazing.
To open the 2017 Dry Season we will see Jupiter at its closest to Earth – giving us the best views of the year. Each rooftop date has been chosen so we see a different view of the Moon on each night. The Moon offers dramatic views if you look in the right place at the right time.
Guests coming along to our special evening of Stargazing can view through three Celestron 11inch diameter telescopes. These are the "high end" or "professional level" telescopes or the "BMWs" of the telescope world.
Throughout the evening you will be served with selections of hot and cold canapés including oysters, and prawns along with an array of beverages. It is a complete dinner so come hungry.
Our host is an astronomer who will use a powerful green laser pointer, which allows people to see easily see stars, constellations and planets. Guests can see where their sign of the Zodiac are and can be taken on a fascinating tour of the night sky with an expert in astronomy.
We will have the most advanced astronomical software at our disposal which allows guests to see on a large screen, how the sky moves, pictures of the constellations and where they sit in the sky, easy to understand sky maps and display realistic videos of exciting forthcoming planetary, lunar and astronomical events as they would be seen from Darwin or anywhere on the planet.
Guests can also use the most advanced binoculars available – which feature stabilizing internal gyroscopes. Check out the Night Sky, Darwin's skyline or the vast horizon from the rooftop, but be careful, once you look through these binoculars, you'll want your own pair and never be satisfied with normal binoculars ever again.
International Space Station
If the mighty International Space Station flies over our patch of sky – we'll see all the action and can simulate views of what the space station crew can see if they were looking down on us, as humanity's greatest machine glides across the night sky. We can also see the Hubble Space Telescope or a vast range of other types of satellites. Some, called Iridium flares, will do just that and flare up incredibly brightly. Other satellites mysteriously appear or disappear as they emerge or enter the Earth's shadow.
Our targets for opening night:
Jupiter (and its Moons), our Moon (ideally situated for dramatic viewing) and a few selected "Deep Sky Objects" – the Jewel Box and our largest neighbouring galaxy. Saturn (its magnificent Rings, and many Moons) Saturn may be difficult to see on our opening night (May 2017).
At first quarter the Moon is a dramatic sight. The texture of the lunar landscape will astonish those who look at it. The Moon is our host's favourite object, and guests can go on a lunar tour and discover the a fascinating array of different lunar features including where the Apollo missions landed.
Jupiter's Moons will astonish and yes – we can easily see the magnificent rings of Saturn.
Omega Centauri is a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way and is a giant sphere containing over 100 million stars. The Jewel Box is a rare cluster of stars containing an unusual number of different coloured stars.
Your Host:
Geoff Carr is 55 years old and is a Cartographer by profession and who also studied Astronomy at Charles Darwin University.
Stargazing has been his passion since he was eight years old when his first look through a telescope revealed Saturn and its Rings. "I was hooked from that moment on" he said.
He had written for newspapers, with 260 editions of the Territory Stargazer, and appears regularly on radio for local and national broadcasters.
Although able to speak the language of Astronomers, he is more interested in the Astronomical History, especially the lives of the famous astronomers - many were geniuses, but often eccentric, cranks, nutballs and detached individuals. "How they revealed the Universe to us was often through simple but astonishingly clever ways, and I am in awe of them."
"Astronomy is my passion, and I like sharing its beauty and wonderment."
His business – Star Safaris, has been operating for over 10 years, mainly for schools and local events.
The Venue:
Rooftops are wonderful places – but few, if any, are suited to stargazing, as they are nearly always surrounded by tall buildings and flooded with light. However I searched, without success, until I visited the rooftop of the Zen apartments.
After visiting the rooftop I was incredibly excited about the potential – not only does it have the ambiance of the city skyline, but a huge swathe of uninterrupted sky with relatively little light pollution. This may be the only rooftop in Australia ideal for Urban Stargazing.
Close to the city, it has both the excitement and allure of city and unobscured skies. I had found the Holy Grail of Rooftops..! Guests can indeed boast of having attended a truly unique event.

Scientists have found an oil field containing 200 times more hydrocarbons than the amount of water that currently exists on Earth.
But there's the rub.
The oil field is 1,300 lightyears away.
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute in Germany say they've discovered major hydrocarbon molecule deposits in the Horsehead Nebula galaxy in the Orion constellation.
Unlike Earth-bound fossil fuels — which are made up of decayed organic material — the researchers believe these hydrocarbon molecules are created by the fragmentation of giant carbonaceous molecules called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, a waste-product of dying stars.
"We observe the operation of a natural refinery of petroleum of gigantic size," they conclude.
While this crude may not be on the radar of the country's oilmen, scientists are extremely interested in the compounds: Some believe these space-borne molecules may have served as organic compounds for creating life.

Virginia Tech has not revealed any football coaching staff changes, but the presumption for weeks among fans and media is that Bryan Stinespring no longer will coordinate the Hokies' offense. So lack of official vacancy notwithstanding, social media is replete with opinions on whom Frank Beamer may or should hire to overhaul his attack.
Tech's offensive coordinator for 11 seasons and a 20-year staff member, Stinespring may well remain with the Hokies. He's an invaluable recruiter and quality line coach.
Observations on some mentioned potential candidates. Bios can be found by clicking on the name.
Pep Hamilton: Stanford's offensive coordinator appears the ideal fit. The Cardinal runs the power rushing, play-action passing attack that Beamer prefers, and Hamilton would arrive with references from Andrew Luck and Jim Harbaugh.
In fact, Hamilton's official title is, no kidding here, the Andrew Luck Director of Offense. Hamilton coached Luck last season, when Stanford ranked sixth nationally in scoring, 11th in total offense, 22nd in rushing yards and 26th in passing yards. Luck was the No. 1 overall pick of the NFL draft.
Harbaugh hired Hamilton in 2010 to coach the Cardinal's receivers. Hamilton had worked the previous three years as the Chicago Bears' quarterbacks coach.
Stanford concluded the 2010 season with a 40-12 Orange Bowl rout of Virginia Tech, after which Harbaugh moved to the San Francisco 49ers. The school replaced Harbaugh with offensive coordinator David Shaw, who then elevated Hamilton to OC — Harbaugh offered Hamilton a job with the 49ers, but Hamilton elected to remain at Stanford.
Hamilton — his given name is Alfonza — has plenty of Eastern ties. He attended high school in Charlotte, N.C., and is a 1997 graduate of Howard University in Washington, D.C., where he played quarterback.
Without Luck and three others chosen among the top 42 picks in the draft, Stanford's offense isn't nearly as potent this season. But since naming freshman Kevin Hogan the starting quarterback, the Cardinal has won four consecutive games, all against ranked opponents, to claim the Pacific 12 championship and a berth in Tuesday's Rose Bowl against Wisconsin.
Hamilton would be an outstanding hire. The question is, would he leave a program that's earned three consecutive Bowl Championship Series invitations for one fresh off its worst season since 1992?
Shawn Elliott: Completing his third season at South Carolina, Elliott worked one year there with Tech running backs coach Shane Beamer. Elliott's title then was running game coordinator and offensive line coach.
This year, head coach Steve Spurrier promoted Elliott to co-offensive coordinator, a position he shares with Spurrier's son, Steve Jr. But Elliott has never served as a primary play-caller — the Ol' Ball Coach isn't about to relinquish that role — and you have to believe Beamer wants someone who's called a fourth-quarter third-and-5 with the game in the balance.
Now if Elliott were interested in coaching the Hokies' line or tight ends, sure. But as OC? Seems risky.
Elliott's only other coaching experience was at his alma mater, Appalachian State, where he worked from 1996 until 2009.
Major Applewhite: A former Texas quarterback, Applewhite returned to the Longhorns in 2008 after one-year stints as offensive coordinator at Rice and then Alabama, the latter in Nick Saban's first season with the Crimson Tide.
Mack Brown promoted Applewhite to co-offensive coordinator in 2011, and when Applewhite's fellow co-OC, Bryan Harsin, accepted the Arkansas State head-coaching position earlier this month, Applewhite became Texas' primary play-caller.
His debut in that role came in Saturday's Alamo Bowl, where the Longhorns scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to defeat Oregon State 31-27. Texas gained 358 yards, threw 34 passes and ran the ball 31 times.
Rice and Alabama were more productive from the previous season under Applewhite. The 2006 Owls were 41st nationally in scoring; the '07 Tide was 64th.
Prying Applewhite from Texas would be difficult on two fronts: It's home, and the school pays its assistants handsomely. According to USA Today's database, Applewhite made $575,000 in base salary this year. Harsin made $700,000, meaning Applewhite is likely due a significant bump for 2013.
Defensive coordinator Bud Foster ($502,762) is the only Virginia Tech assistant making more than $400,000.
Tony Franklin: Here's another Pac-12 offensive coordinator, this one at Stanford's arch-rival, Cal-Berkeley. Franklin just moved there with new Bears head coach Sonny Dykes, for whom he worked the past three seasons at Louisiana Tech.
The Bulldogs lead the nation this season in scoring (51.5 points per game), total offense (577.9 yards per game) and rank third in passing (350.8 ypg) and 18th in rushing (227.2) — they won at Virginia 44-38. Louisiana Tech was 42nd in scoring in 2011, 59th in 2010.
Franklin coordinated the offense at Kentucky in 2000 and Auburn in and 2008. He's also connected to the Hokies through defensive coordinator Bud Foster — they were teammates at Murray State, but before Beamer moved from The Citadel to become Murray's DC.
But Franklin is, in large measure, a spread guy. Does Beamer want to go all-in with the spread?
More important, does Franklin, who raved about Cal upon his appointment, have any interest? Seems doubtful.
Ralph Friedgen: This former Maryland head coach hadn't crossed my mind until a Twitter follower suggested him. Suffice to say, he's qualified and connected.
Beamer and Friedgen are fast friends. They worked together at The Citadel under Bobby Ross and both own vacation homes in Greensboro, Ga. When Beamer became Murray State's head coach in 1981, he hired Friedgen as his top assistant.
As the Terps' head coach and as an offensive coordinator under Ross at Maryland, Georgia Tech and with the San Diego Chargers, Friedgen ran the balanced, pro-style attack Beamer likes. He tutored outstanding college quarterbacks such as Boomer Esiason, Shawn Jones and Joe Hamilton, and was the Chargers' OC for their lone Super Bowl appearance, after the 1994 season.
Maryland fired Friedgen in 2010, less than a month after he was named ACC Coach of the Year for the second time. He was 75-50 in 10 seasons and has not worked since.
There's a handful of names, with no guarantee any is the eventual hire. The Hokies' Russell Athletic Bowl victory over Rutgers and worst season in 20 years (7-6) ended less than 72 hours ago. Here's guessing Beamer is still plotting.
Also bank on Beamer consulting with athletic director Jim Weaver, a former offensive line coach at Penn State and offensive coordinator at Iowa State.

She accused the "Red Tails," "Iron Man" and "August Rush" actor of beating her, while Howard claimed she was a racist. TMZ said the divorce order ensures Howard gets most of the marital property, including two houses in Pennsylvania and all 25 of his bank accounts. However, he must pay Ghent $5,800 a month in spousal support for the next three years, the celebrity news website said.

NPR's Ari Shapiro slanted towards President Obama and two of his Democratic allies in Congress on Thursday's Morning Edition on the continuing battle over the federal budget, playing seven sound bites from them versus only three from Republican House Speaker John Boehner.
Shapiro highlighted the late night negotiations over the budget on Wednesday during his report, playing three clips from the President and one from Senator Harry Reid before even getting to his first one from Speaker Boehner:
SHAPIRO: It was nearly 11 pm when President Obama walked into the White House briefing room. Vice President Biden, the chief of staff, and other senior officials came in right behind him. They had been meeting with congressional leaders for more than an hour. According to the press secretary, President Obama called the meeting because negotiators didn't make enough progress on their own earlier in the day. So as the President stood behind the lectern, the straggling reporters wondered, deal or no deal?
OBAMA: I thought the meetings were frank, they were constructive, and what they did was narrow the issues and clarify the issues that are still outstanding.
SHAPIRO: Still outstanding, no resolution: the shutdown still looms.
OBAMA: A shutdown could have real effects on everyday Americans.
SHAPIRO: That has been President Obama's line for several days now, but his words have not been enough to bring about a resolution.
OBAMA: It would be inexcusable, given the relatively narrow differences when it comes to numbers between the two parties, that we can't get this done.
SHAPIRO: He did not take questions and he would not describe what those remaining differences are that he describes as narrow. Neither would Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who spoke in front of clicking cameras on the White House driveway a few minutes later.
REID: It was very honest. We've narrowed the issues significantly, and we're going to continue working.
SHAPIRO: Reid stood next to House Speaker John Boehner on the warm spring night. The air between them, though, seemed frosty.
BOEHNER: We do have some minor differences, but I do think we made some progress. But I want to reiterate, there's no agreement on a number and there's no agreement on the policy riders.
The NPR reporter highlighted the more partisan component to the showdown during the second half of his report, but ended up lining up a sound bite each from Mr. Obama, Senator Reid, and Senator Barbara Mikulski, versus two from Boehner:
SHAPIRO: Neither side named anything specific that had been accomplished. But at least there was less outright finger-pointing than earlier in the day. During an afternoon town hall meeting outside of Philadelphia yesterday, President Obama accused Republicans of putting ideology above the good of the country.
OBAMA: I mean, they're stuffing all kinds of issues in there: abortion, the environment, health care. You know, there are times to have those discussions, but that time is not now. Right now, we need to just make sure that we pay our bills and that the government stays open.
SHAPIRO: Back in Washington, Speaker Boehner suggested that President Obama was negligent to leave Washington at such a crucial time.
BOEHNER: The President isn't leading. He didn't lead on last year's budget, and he clearly is not leading on this year's budget.
SHAPIRO: Boehner says Republicans don't want to shut the government down either. They just want the largest spending cuts they can get for the last half of this fiscal year.
BOEHNER: We're going to be prepared to move forward with our troop funding bill that would fund our troops, keep the government open for another week, and cut $12 billion in spending.
SHAPIRO: That one-week extension remains on the table, but Democrats say they're done with short-term stop-gap measures. Senate Majority Leader Reid accused Republicans of moving the finish line every time a deal seems within reach.
REID: We meet them halfway. They say no. We meet them more than halfway. They still say no. We meet them all the way. They still say no. If Republicans were serious about keeping the country running, all they would have to do is say yes.
SHAPIRO: But a yes from Speaker Boehner could still get a no from Republican freshmen and those who align with the Tea Party. This is the biggest test yet of the Tea Party's political clout in Congress. It's a test Speaker Boehner does not want to fail. At the same time, neither Boehner nor Democrats, such as Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, want the blame for a shutdown.
SENATOR BARBARA MIKULSKI: This is a situation of enormous negative consequences, and I think we're going to rue the day at the way we're functioning here.
SHAPIRO: They have a day and a half left to pull it back from the brink. Ari Shapiro, NPR News, Washington.
Exactly a week earlier, on March 31, Shapiro acted as a stenographer for the President in the area of his energy policy. Just chalk this up as another example of the liberal bias at NPR.

Purchasing an existing home or condo is likely to be the faster route, but building your Hawaii home may have its own rewards.
If your timeline requires you to move into a new home within a month or two after you begin your search, the answer is easy: focus on the existing inventory.
If you'd rather spend your Saturday at the beach or on a hiking trail than at a construction site checking in on your tile delivery, again, an easy decision. Choosing a home from the inventory of existing homes and condos is probably the more simple alternative. When you're ready, you can renovate or make cosmetic changes to suit your tastes.
But, if you have time on your side and you're up for the challenge, there is plenty of land for sale on the Big Island. Over 2,300 parcels at the time of this writing.
Lots range from small parcels in rural Puna and Ka'u priced under $10,000 to multi-million dollar ranch and estate properties located around the island. To see examples that fall somewhere in between, take a look at building lots in North Kona, Waikoloa Village or South Hilo.
Building new lets you determine how your home is positioned on the lot, allows you to choose the custom finishes that suit you, and provides an opportunity to include the most up-to-date technologies to make your home energy efficient.
If building a home on the Big Island is something you're considering, let your REALTOR® know. Our agents can point you in the right direction to investigate the current cost per square foot for construction or to investigate options for construction loan financing.

Zaleski and Wheeler finished first in the C division at the Thompson Trophy (photo courtesy Athletic Communications).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The No. 14 Harvard coed sailing team turned in three top-five performances at four regattas this weekend. The Crimson finished third at the Salvin Hill Invitational and the Thompson Trophy and placed fifth at the 70th Greater Boston Oberg Trophy. Harvard also competed at the Owen, Mosbacher and Knapp Trophies, where it finished eighth.
At the Salvin Hill Invitational, a two-division NEISA evented hosted by Boston College, teams raced in 420s on Dorchester Bay. Harvard finished third in the seven-school field with 160 points. In each division the Crimson placed third with the A team of freshman skipper David Mende and crew Nomin-Erden Jagdagdorj sailing to seven top-five finishes. The B division pairing of sophomore Adam Brodehim and rookie Victor Kamenker, skipper and crew, respectively, took third in three of the 12 races. With 54 points, the seventh-seeded Eagles won the event.
The Crimson turned in its second third place showing of the weekend at the Thompson Trophy hosted by Coast Guard on the Thames River. The 18 teams competed across three divisions in 420s. Sophomore Marek Zaleski and freshman Emma Wheeler manned the C division boat as skipper and crew. After racing on Saturday, the duo sat in second with 19 points, just one point shy of the division's leader South Florida. Zaleski and Wheeler finished in the top-two in five heats including victories in the seventh race and eighth race, respectively, to win the division with 46 points. Juniors Brian Drumm and Ashleigh Inglis staffed the A division boat that took third as skipper and crew. Junior skipper Gram Slattery and freshman crew Olivia Krorlien competed to a 14th-place performance in the B division. Top-ranked Stanford won the trophy with 173 points.
Also on the Thames River, Harvard sailed for the Owen, Mosbacher and Knapp Trophies. With 218 points, the Crimson finished eighth in the 17-team field. On the first day of racing the A division raced in 420s with the B division sailing in FJs and the divisions switched vessels on Sunday. In the B division, junior Michael Drumm and senior Isabel Ruane teamed up as skipper and crew for 81 points and sixth place. Sophomore Andrew Mollerus with the help of freshman Sydney Karnovsky and senior Luke O'Connor as crew, battled in the A division to take 11th. No. 2 Yale, who hosted the regatta, won 13 of 20 races to capture the three trophies.
Thirteen schools contested for the 70th Greater Boston Oberg Trophy hosted by MIT on the Charles River, where Harvard placed fifth with 220 points. Freshman Juan Carlos Perdomo and Priscilla Russo, skipper and crew, respectively, won the 12th race to finish fourth in the A division. Freshman skipper Bennett Capozzi and junior crew Rebecca Frankel sailed to a fifth-place finish in the C division with a victory and six top-five finishes. Senior skipper Caitlin Watson sailed with sophomore Kristina Jakobson as crew in a female only boat in a coed regatta. In the B division, the women vessel's seventh-place performance was highlighted by three victories. The Engineers, who are seeded 13th in the national poll, won the event with 183 points.
Three championship qualifiers are in store for the Crimson next weekend as the coeds host the 84th Boston Dingy Club Challenge Cup, the freshman compete at the 73rd Priddy Trophy and the women sail at the 43rd Reed Trophy. Harvard will also send sailors to the 11th George Morris Trophy and the 29th Admirals' Cup.

The first class in 1925 numbered only six students, while the 2014 group counted just more than 400. Of that, 175 graduated "with academic distinction."
The commencement program on June 12 this year showcased a tight-knit class, one which cheered the announcement of every name. And, for the first time in recent memory, not a single beach ball appeared among the seated graduates, replaced instead by a number of American-flag-holding scholars.
"I'll never forget that moment," said first-year PLHS principal Hans Becker, reflecting on the momentous occasion of leading the procession onto Bennie Edens Field. "When the audience really started cheering, I got choked up."
More than 90 percent of Point Loma High's graduates are continuing their education from community colleges to Ivy League universities. They earned more than $5 million in scholarships and can now echo the familiar phrase: "Once a Pointer, Always a Pointer."

Okay I just thought of a new type of design for a hybrid type launcher. I have no idea how well this would work or wouldn't work, so I am here to ask you guys.
The main difference between this and a normal hybrid would be that the gases are accelerated before they are ignited.
This design would consist of one chamber (where the fuel and air are mixed and pressurized) and then another chamber with just air and a spark. The chambers would be separated by a burst disk.
The picture pretty much explains how it works so here you go.
<img src="http://www.spudfiles.com/uploader/uploadFiles/Hybridtypedesign2.JPG">
Sorry if this is going to be some sort of bomb:x. I am not planning on constructing this any time soon. Just throwing the idea out there.

It's hugely popular, but there's no Breaking Bad video game. At least, not officially. There probably won't be, either, given the nature of the show.
But let's dream there could be! And that star Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, looked like he does here, in a series of 3D models done as fan work by Frank Tzeng, a 3D artist at Sony's Santa Monica studio.

wow, andrea, it's amazing! congratulations on your fantastic installation.
Awesome, Andrea! Well worth the enduring anguish look on your face from your previous post. I'll definitely check these out if i'm in the city soon.
Looks so great, Andrea. This really sparkles with life. You seem to have squeezed everything that you are about in there!
dear andrea!
i'm an art school student from sweden,
i was not able to see your show here in magasin 3, but i read about it,
and i saved the image of your wagon station – that desert gold and red dressed with shiny fabric, http://zittel.artservr.com/artists/resize.php/150/images/493_large.jpg?resize(629×8000).
i'm very interested in the capsule, or this idea of something encapsulating protective. with adventure potential! to me i guess they sort of represent the dream of a feministic and artistic utopia; as objects a structure or set of rules that will represent and bring you closer to some kind of possibility. something like the female counterpart to the man's dream of a space rocket.
i'd be very grateful if you could tell me what material you used for these wagon stations, and perhaps something of your thoughts on that.
i read you talking about representing something typical, and how it is important, to which i agree, especially when it is in flux – such as in trends or memes. to me thats thinking of altering something controversial – like living as a female artist in the desert, creating enchanted objects. like turning something other into something encouraged to identify with.
sorry for posting all this in your commentary field,
again, i really appreciate your work,
all best regards,
Hi Sara,
The Wagon Stations have a powder coated steel frame and the panels are made out of ultralight MDF, lexan, and aluminum. These materials are ones that can hold up to the desert elements better then some of the other materials I've worked with in the past.
desert consideration, i see, thank you

Trade News
Guildford, U.K., 1 March 2010 - A secondary school's plans to build a wildlife pond and wildflower garden have won it a GBP 2,000 prize from industrial gases company BOC. The pond and garden will help pupils learn about local biodiversity and the environment.
Sacred Heart School in Redcar, Cleveland, won this year's BOC-NEPIC Environment Award for secondary schools. NEPIC, the North East Process Industry Cluster, represents over 500 businesses in the Teesside area. Joanne Hall, from the school's science staff, received the prize from BOC's MD Mike Huggon at the NEPIC annual dinner.
BOC, a member of The Linde Group, sponsors three annual environmental awards for schools and businesses in the North East. A GBP 2,000 prize also went to Nunthorpe Primary School near Middlesbrough, where a group of Year 6 pupils are creating an outdoor learning environment which will allow some lessons to take place outside – weather permitting! "The judges were really impressed by models and drawings created by the children which supported the application," notes Dr Dave Lockyer, BOC Tonnage Account Manager. "Through this award, we are helping them to make their dream a reality."
The third BOC-NEPIC award this year went to an industrial project which protects the natural world from negative impacts of industrial activity. This year's winners were Huntsman Pigments, of Greatham near Hartlepool, for a scheme that involves waste heat recovery from a thermal oxidation process which is part of the production process for pigments. It is delivering energy savings of 80,000MWh – equivalent to the heat required by around 4,000 homes. The prize money cannot be kept by the winners though – it has to be used to develop an environmental project in a local school. Huntsman chose Greatham Church of England Primary School to receive the GBP 2,000 prize.
BOC has been visiting the winners to see how the projects are progressing. As Dr Dave Lockyer says: "BOC aims to inspire a new generation of environmentally-aware children and empower them to achieve even greater things as they grow older."

Google Gadgets in Custom HTML module
From Joomla! Documentation
Has anyone ever considered how easy it is to include syndicated Google Gadgets in a Joomla! site using the Custom HTML module (mod_custom)? This page lists all openly syndicated Gadgets:
Just find a Gadget and select "Add to your webpage". Then set any parameters and click "Get the code". Copy and paste the code into the source of a Custom HTML module and you have a Google Gadget on your site!
By the way, remember to turn off any code cleanup options you may have on in your Editor or the <SCRIPT> tags will get stripped out when you save.
Of course, except for width and height, you don't have much control over the look of most Gadgets. But this easily can be corrected by viewing the code on a particular Gadget's "about" page, tweaking it, and submitting it as a new syndicated Gadget that looks the way you want.
So, if you can't find the Joomla! module you're looking for, you might consider looking for a Google Gadget that does what you want instead.

A University of Baltimore professor has helped her 17-year-old cat add to its nine lives.
Besty Boyd, a creative writing professor wrote about her decision to spend nearly $20,000 to replace her 18-year-old cat's kidney and people's reactions to how much she'd pay go her little friend.
The cat (who is named after filmmaker Stanley Kubrick), was well worth the money according to Boyd. In the blog post, she writes that she first got Stanley as a kitten when she was only 27-year-old and that he had been there for her through the "worst moments of my life."
When Boyd noticed that the 17-year-old Stanley wasn't as frisky as he used to be, she took him in to see a veterinarian who informed her that Stanley required a kidney transplant. Something the office could do for them for "anywhere from 20 to 25 thousand."
Thank God I didn't have to decide right then, because not only was I having massive anxiety about breaking into my small savings, more than that I was worried about the fact that Stan would have to take immunosuppressant drugs every 12 hours for the rest of his life if I elected to put him through the surgery — if he survived it. These antirejection drugs could lead to all sorts of problems: weight loss, infections, tumors. But if he lasted six months postsurgery, according to statistics, he'd have a chance at several years of good health. He might live well into his 20s. What were the odds? No one could say. But without intervention, he'd die soon — the only guarantee.
The surgery for Stanley didn't come without sacrifice. The couple decided against buying a new car they had been saving for, and decided to take the cat in.
Boyd writes that the total bill was just under $17,000 and despite a brief bout with an upper respiratory infection, Stanley is thriving.

NEWMARKET — Nothing will improve your jump-shot like March Madness at The Stone Church. The first two weeks of March will offer an eclectic mix that opens with the March Mandolin Festival, and winds down as Rockspring brings us into St. Patrick's Day. The month features funk favorites, Kung Fu, the all-star band, Dub Apocalypse.
Kung Fu
Funk favorites, Kung Fu, light up the stage at The Stone Church for a two night run on March 8 and 9. These accomplished musicians (members have played with Dave Matthews, John Scofield, The Allman Brothers, and The Disco Biscuits) blur the line between intense electrofusion, and blistering dance arrangements that draw on influences such as early Headhunters, Steely Dan, and Weather Report. They're part jazz, a boat load of funk, some 1970s rock, and hell of a lot fun. The band formed in 2009 following a jam session in which the guys got together to have a little fun, had too much of it, and stayed together to do their thing. Kung Fu knows how to play, and they know how to work a room. This show is not to be missed. Mar 8 & 9 — Cost: $15 — Time: 8:30 p.m. — Ages: 21+
Dub Apocalypse
Experimental dub reggae featuring an all-star cast of some of Boston's best musicians from legendary bands, that include members of John Brown's Body, G Love, Morphine and a host of other Boston madmen. Led by drummer Tommy Benedetti (John Browns Body) and Johnny Trama (Ghosts of Jupiter) blues driven guitar licks, the band cranks out an impressive array of original dub that features wild improvisation and Benedetti's dirty break beats. The band is often joined by Benedetti's band mate in John Browns Body, Nate Edgar, on bass. Mar 15 — Cost: $10 — Time: 8:30 p.m. — Ages: 21+
March Mandolin Festival
Featuring Matt Flinner, Robin Bullock, Will Patton, and David Surette, with special guest Susie Burke. March 1 — Cost: $10 Door, $12 Adv. — Time: 6:30 p.m. — Ages: 21+
Jeff Bujak
Looking for something different? Jeff Bujak's music combines his background in classical piano with progressive song writing for an edgy, complex sound that constantly jumps genres. March 1 — Cost: $5 — Time: 9:45 p.m. — Ages 21+
Charlotte Locke
Charlotte Locke is a young band from Keene State College with a rockin' sound. March 2 — Cost: $5 Adv., $7 Door — Time: 9 p.m. — Ages: 21+

For the second year in the row, we got a living tree as our Christmas tree. Last year, we got a more traditional fir, and planted it in a corner of the back yard in January. This year, we picked up a kumquat tree. It's really great-looking, covered in tiny orange fruit and will nicely replace the old kumquat tree that didn't make it in our back yard. (I think I've learned enough about taking care of trees in the last year to make sure this one survives.) Here is our kumquat decorated for Christmas in a sunny corner of living room.
For additional decoration, I took some fallen branches, spray painted them gold and strung them with some tiny lights I got at Ikea a few years ago.
That was about the extent of our decoration, except for a wreath on the front door, which I made last year out of spray-painted zip ties, and some colored LED lights on the front porch. We kept it simple, but our house still felt festive.
Gift-wise, Dakota and I received several excellent items that will make 2008 our greenest year yet. These included some gardening and green roofing books, a log with which we can grow our own shiitake mushrooms and, most exciting, a chicken coop! I should say, a custom-made chicken coop, hand-crafted by Dakota from left-over cedar pulled from his workshop. Check out its lovely design.
Before Christmas, we had been talking about getting chickens, but hadn't really officially decided whether to get them or not. So, the coop was a complete surprise. But, a great one.
You'll be hearing a lot more about backyard chicken prep on this blog in the coming months.
In terms of gifts for friends and family, I tried to make as many as possible. I went on a knitting frenzy--mostly hats--and sent those off to various cousins and friends in colder climates. I also got a wood-burning tool, which I used to decorate wood picture frames and a cutting board. Wood burning is hard, but some of them came out okay. And then we gave donations to relatives who have all the "stuff" they could ever want. Dakota gave my mom a gift certificate to the micro-lending site Kiva.org, which has been getting tons of press coverage lately. It was actually started by some guys I know from Stanford, and it's great that they're doing so well. (I think Kiva was even on Oprah!)

Howard's aggressive approach pays off early
CHICAGO -- Ryne Sandberg said he is encouraged with what he has seen this week from Ryan Howard.
Howard is hitting .294 (5-for-17) with one double, one home run, three RBIs, two walks and eight strikeouts. He put up those numbers despite facing three left-handed starting pitchers in the season's first four games. Howard's extra-base hits and every RBI have come against a lefty in big situations. His single to right field in the fourth inning Friday against Cubs left-hander Travis Wood advanced Marlon Byrd from first to third. Byrd scored the Phillies' first run in a 7-2 victory on an infield single from Domonic Brown.
The only things hampering Howard have been swings and misses at pitches outside the strike zone.
"I liked the aggressiveness in his swings," Sandberg said. "I think there is more bat speed. That's come a long way since the middle part of Spring Training. With that being said, when he gets a pitch in the zone with that swing, he can do some damage for us. He just needs to concentrate on making them come to him. There are some bats behind him. Take some walks if they give them. Ball in the zone, he can make something happen."

Before writing to Greenpeace please check our list of frequently asked questions to see if your question is already answered
Greenpeace's goal is to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity. Greenpeace campaigns are geared towards a sustainable planet.
Greenpeace opposes all releases of genetically Engineered organisms into the environment. Such organisms are being released without adequate scientific understanding of their impact on the environment and human health.
This genetic pollution is a major threat because genetically engineered organisms cannot be recalled once released into the environment. Governments are attempting to address this threat by international regulations such as the Bio safety Protocol.
Because of commercial interests, the public is being denied the right to know about genetically engineered ingredients in the food chain, and the right to avoid them. Greenpeace advocates immediate interim measures such as labelling of genetically engineered ingredients, and the segregation of genetically engineered crops from conventional ones.
While scientific progress on molecular biology has a great potential to increase our understanding of nature and provide new medical tools,it is no justification to turn the environment into a genetic experiment. Biological diversity must be protected and respected as the global heritage of humankind, and one of our world's fundamental keys to survival.
Greenpeace also opposes all patents on plants, animals and humans,as well as patents on their genes. Life is not an industrial commodity.When we force lifeforms and our world's food supply to conform to human economic models rather than their natural ones, we do so at our own peril.
You can read an introduction to the issue of genetic engineering and an explanation of some of the risks in our genetic engineering area.
Nuclear power creates poisonous waste, fuels the nuclear arms race, and threatens the health and well being of communities thousands of miles away.
It's also not a solution to greenhouse warming. Creating nuclear fuel is a hugely energy-intensive task. When you sum up the CO2 emitted by the mining, milling, processing, and transport of nuclear fuels,there's no significant savings on carbon output. This was why the framers of the Kyoto protocol rejected efforts by the nuclear power industry to allow carbon credits for nuclear power. You'll still see this fallacy trumpeted in advertising by the nuclear industry, but you won't find a reputable climate scientist who is convinced by the ads. (British Nuclear Fuels spends more on advertising than Greenpeace's entire annual budget, by the way!)
Greenpeace is an independent, campaigning organisation which uses non-violent, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and to force the solutions which are essential to a green and peaceful future.
In 1971, motivated by their vision of a green and peaceful world, a small team of activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada, in an old fishing boat.
The founders of Greenpeace believed a few individuals could make a difference. Their mission was to "bear witness" to the USA's underground nuclear testing at Amchitka in one of the world's most earthquake-prone regions.
A tiny island off the West Coast of Alaska, Amchitka was the last refuge for 3000 endangered sea otters, and home to bald eagles,peregrine falcons and other wildlife.
Even though their old boat, the Phyllis Cormack, was intercepted before she got to Amchitka, the journey sparked a flurry of public interest. The US still detonated their bomb, but the voice of reason had been heard.
Nuclear testing on Amchitka ended that same year, and the island was later declared a bird sanctuary.
Today, Greenpeace is a global organisation that gives priority to campaigns that can be addressed on a global scale. Based in Amsterdam,Greenpeace has 2.8 million supporters worldwide, and national / regional offices in 41 countries.
You can find out more about our history, at our 30th Anniversary page.
If you want to read more, there are several good books about Greenpeace: "The Warriors of the Rainbow" byRobert Hunter, "Journey into the Bomb" by David Mc.Taggart, and "The Greenpeace Story" by John May and Michael Brown. They can often be found at used book and auction sites such as Ebay , Amazon and Powells.
To maintain absolute independence Greenpeace does not accept money from companies, governments or political parties. We're serious about that,and we screen for and actually send checks back when they're drawn on a corporate account. We depend on the donations of our supporters to carry on our non violent campaigns to protect the environment.
Our books are audited every year, in every office around the world, and we publish our Annual Report on the web every year so you can see exactly how much money we're given and how it gets spent.
There's an old joke around the organisation that in any bar in Vancouver, Canada, you can find at least one person who claims to have founded Greenpeace.
In truth, many talented folks contributed to the creation of Greenpeace. Bill Darnell coined the name when someone flashed him a peace sign and he said "let's make that a green peace!" Bob Hunter created the concept of the "Media Mind Bomb" -reaching the public consciousness through dramatic, camera-ready opposition to environmental crimes. Jim Bohlen, Paul Cote, and Irving Stowe were the founders of the "Don't Make a Wave Committee," which organised the first Greenpeace action: a voyage to Amchitka Island in the Aleutians to try to stop a nuclear weapons test. David Mc. Taggart convinced a half dozen loosely connected early groups to put aside their differences and join in a single worldwide organisation, creating Greenpeace International in 1979.
We recently setup a microsite for people to find out more about things they can do. Personal tips are available at http://greenpeace.in/greenliving/personal-choices.html
In all but a few exceptional cases, Greenpeace works on a global scale and does not address individual pollution sites one by one. Greenpeace has limited resources and so chooses to focus on major threats to ecosystems and species -- we simply don't have the ability to address destruction at all levels. For local issues, we have to count on people like you who care and are willing to fight for what you believe. We can send you our support and best wishes, and advice on creating campaigns at GreenpeaceX, where you will be connected to help and tools every step of the way.
You can also search through the Greenpeace archive for information about the particular issue you're trying to solve.
Good luck: there's No Time to Waste.
We get many requests at Greenpeace for help with general school reports about pollution and other environmental issues. We wish we could help each of you individually, but we try to keep our staff focussed on the tasks that people donate to Greenpeace for: to win campaigns for the environment. Don't forget that you can search through all the information at the Greenpeace site.
Greenpeace doesn't address animal rights issues at a local level. We campaign for habitat protection and to stop the greatest threats to the natural world. You can contact the largest animal rights organisation in the world, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
Take a look at our job vacancies in India and there are also job vacancies listed on our other national/regional office websites.
There's lots of ways you can help. You can find out about jobs with the organisation and with our national office sites. You can also contact your local Greenpeace office to find out if you can volunteer. You can become a financial supporter if you are not already.

Rains dampened relief efforts around Indonesia's Mt. Merapi, as it erupted for a third time Friday. The country's most active volcano has been spewing hot ash and debris since Tuesday, killing at least 34 people and displacing around 50,000.
Friday morning's blast was mostly hot clouds and smoke, but it signaled that the volcano's wrath was not over. Surono, the head of Indonesia's Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Agency, says a lot of the pressure inside the volcano has been relieved by the blast but there's still cause for concern.
"The energy is different. It is still three times greater than before 2006," he says, referring to Merapi's last eruption. Surono says he doesn't think there will be another massive explosion like the one Tuesday, but authorities are warning refugees to remain in temporary shelters.
More than 40,000 people had fled or been evacuated earlier in the week. But many stayed behind, or returned as the volcano became calmer, to care for the livestock on which their livelihoods depend.
Spiritual connection to Merapi
The 11,000 people who live on Merapi's fertile slopes are mostly traditional farmers. Merapi means Mountain of Fire, and many have deep spiritual ties to the volcano. They believe its activity is caused by spirits, and rely on a respected elder to intercede with the spirts as the mountain's gatekeeper. Mbah Maridjan, Merapi's longtime gatekeeper, was killed along with about 30 others in Merapis initial explosion this week. A new one will be appointed by the Sultan of Yogykarta.
"People here have their own local wisdom," says Widi Sutikno, head of the Merapi Disaster Mitigation Command Post. The villagers' dependence on the land and their cattle also kept many from wanting to stay in the temporary shelters.
Thursday's eruption drove those who had returned to their homes back down Merapi's slopes, adding additional strain to already overcrowded shelters.
"There are more and more refugees coming down the mountain," says Rukman, the head of disaster response for the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI). "We need water and better sanitation; that is the big problem."
The PMI is working with the government to provide medical services and counseling to refugees, while international nongovernmental organization are helping distribute supplies to the four districts closest to the volcano.
"Our focus is on meeting the needs of the children," says Yeye Edwina, a coordinator with the Christian humanitarian organization World Vision, which is distributing 2,000 relief kits containing toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap and blankets.
Rain has helped clear the air of ash, but many of those in evacuation centers have been forced to sleep on thin mats on damp ground. Relief workers say many children have coughs and they worry about respiratory problems.
Rising tsunami death toll
Meanwhile, the death toll 800 miles to the west in the tsunami-hit Mentawai Islands ratcheted up to nearly 400 Friday, with officials saying search teams were continuing to look for the hundreds still missing.
A 10-foot wave sparked by a 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit the remote Mentawai Island chain Monday evening, taking most residents by surprise. Disaster official Ade Edward says around 420 homes had been destroyed or damaged and a handful of villages flattened.
The Mentawais are comprised of four main islands, with a total population of around 40,000. Unlike earlier disasters that hit higher population centers, a death toll in the hundreds is likely to have a significant impact on the Mentawais. Officials say the lack of warning and secure shelter may be one reason the death toll has been so high.
Rescue workers say many bodies may have been swept out to sea, but some people are believed to have run inland in search of safety. Mr. Edward says he hopes people will begin returning to their villages now that the danger is over.
Thousands of volunteers and rescue officials have arrived to oversee relief efforts that include medical services and supply distribution. Officials now are focused on creating a plan to assist those in need beyond the initial search and rescue efforts.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and is prone to frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Mount Merapi killed 1,300 people in 1930, while an earthquake off the coast of north Sumatra in 2004 sparked a tsunami that killed more than 230,000 people across the Indian Ocean.

India Hit by Massive Cyclone Phailin
The Aftermath
CARE is working with authorities to ensure people affected are provided with emergency supplies including drinking water, hygiene and survival kits, floor mats and solar lamps.
An estimated 1,000 villages, towns and cities in India's Odisha and Andhra Pradesh states were left without electricity after Cyclone Phailin destroyed nearly 7.5 million acres of crops and flooded low-lying areas of the coast that is home to more than 10 million people.
Stories of Resilience
Because of early evacuation and other preventative measures, millions of lives on the coast of Eastern India were spared from Cyclone Phailin. But its severe storms and rainfalls did wreak havoc in the lives of many.
Cyclone Phailin Hits the Eastern Coast of India
On October 13, 2013, Cyclone Phailin hit the southeastern coast of India, lashing the states of Odisha and Andhra and others with winds up to 220 kph and dumping more than of water. The cyclone It left a trail of destruction in its path, knocking down homes, destroying crops and wiping out the livelihoods of thousands of the country's poorest people.
Odisha and Andhra Pradesh were the two most affected states, though others were severely damaged. Thankfully, the largest evacuation efforts in the country's recent history, in which 800,000 people were moved inland, minimized loss of life.
CARE is reponding
"CARE has teams in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh who are assessing the needs of affected people," said CEO and Country Director Dr. Muhammad Musa before the cyclone hit. "This cyclone is predicted to be India's worst in the last 14 years, and we want to get help to people as fast as possible."
As the storm approached, we pre-positioned relief items in the coastal areas, including water, water purification tablets, hygiene and survival kits, floor mats and solar lamps and have distributed those to individuals and families who lost everything in the storm.
How CARE works in emergencies
Last year, CARE reached 14 million people affected by natural disasters, conflict situations and other crises.
In emergencies, CARE is among the first to arrive and the last to leave. When it comes to responding to an emergency, timing is crucial.

could run cardboard disks and it'd still look good. that color is amazing i can't wait to see it in person.
could run cardboard disks and it'd still look good. that color is amazing i can't wait to see it in person.
Yea I really like the color, fell in love with it that day we first saw it at Lambo Boston. For now I'm going to get that other setup, price is good and they are a better wheel. They are forged and our lighter and stronger than the cast on car now. Will keep the stocks and maybe put snows on them for next year
$11,000 for stock wheels? wut. I know the HRE are expensive but even they can't be that bad, can they?
I like them, and I'm sure they are high quality, but theyes are still factory wheels which means a lot of lambos are going to have them. The HRE would be more unique and it sounds like it's going to be similar in cost? If the stock were much cheaper than the HRE I might have a different opinion and I do like them too.
I think more R8's had the P101's than stock wheels? Dave, the guy that had the blue R8, will be putting his HRE's on his new 580-2 Spyder and other than his how many Huracans will I even see? I got a good deal on these so even if I decide to go HRE at some point I could sell them and get most of my money back.
I did get a good deal, paid $5,200 and free shipping. The HRE's in 20" would have been about $11k and then another few hundred for TPMS and mounting/balancing. With getting the set I got on it will be an easy swap since they are coming all set to just put on car. This way I can sell my stocks complete with tires, should be able to get around $3k for them.
Arrived today, like seller said in perfect condition
Better put snow tires on them
New wheels went on, I'm sure some will like old better but for my conservative taste I prefer these.
they look really good. i love the silver on the blue.
and hang on conservative taste? guy just sold a bright red r8 and currently drives a bright blue lambo
Let's be honest. Any wheel on that car will look good

looks sick, cant wait to see it
shit that looks fucking hot.....i think i came a little
