Students will do the following:
The class will need the following:
Use the following three-point rubric to evaluate how well students follow directions, complete both tests accurately, make thorough notes, and figure out what the substances were and who committed the crime:
Arson Dogs
Although chemical tests are an important tool of forensic science, sometimes information can be gathered using alternative methods. It should be no surprise that "man's best friend" can also be a best friend in solving some crimes, especially those related to arson, or purposely setting a fire. Arson detectives often turn to trained dogs to help them detect chemical compounds that can indicate foul play in the destruction of property by fire. Have students find out how dogs are trained for this job and how they continue to be important in this type of crime solving. Tell students to think about the following questions as they do their research:
The following Web sites provide useful information:
Crime & Detection (Eyewitness Books)
Brian Lane. Dorling Kindersley, 1998.
Using its familiar style of color photographs and short paragraphs, this entry in the Eyewitness series provides a solid introduction to the subject of detective work. With examples of crimes from ages past up to the present, this book presents many of the techniques used to solve crimes, such as examining the crime scene, using chemical analysis, testing DNA samples, and looking for fingerprints. In addition, it covers the history of the police force and the evolution of the detective.
Solving a Crime (Expert Guide)
Peter Mellett. Heinemann Library, 1999.
The theft of a Toltec mask from a museum puts the reader on the trail of a thief, observing police and legal activities and security measures such as gathering and analyzing clues, questioning witnesses and suspects, arresting a suspect, and conducting a trial. Illustrations carry the story along. A short glossary and bibliography wrap things up.
chemical property
Definition: A characteristic of a substance whereby its composition changes as a result of interaction with another substance.
Context: Burning wood breaks apart, revealing achemical propertyof wood.
Definition: A science that focuses on the structure and properties of substances and the changes they undergo.
Context: Detectives usechemistryin much of their work, such as analyzing residue from guns and determining the blood type of samples at crime scenes.
Definition: To watch carefully, especially with attention to details or behavior, for the purpose of arriving at a judgment or uncovering information about an object, a person, or a place.
Context: In science class, toobservemeans more than just looking; it encompasses paying careful attention to a given object or situation in order to draw a conclusion.
physical property
Definition: A characteristic of a substance whereby its composition is not changed as a result of interaction with another substance.
Context: When sugar and water are mixed together, both substance retain their physical structures; this is aphysical propertyof both substances.

For the first time, there was a theme-the 1980's. After searching a bit on Pinterest, I realized that most of what we needed for our costumes were...already in our closets! A quick trip to the thrift store finished them off. I have to admit I was really excited about this and was pleased with the results!
For Explorer, we took the Punky Brewster look. We grabbed a jacket that was a bit too small and rolled up the sleeves. Top is from Gap, and the necklace is from my drawer. Miss-matched crazy shoes and piggy tails finished it off. The little barrettes didn't show in the photo.
Mini Cooper got a cross between Punky and Michelle Tanner. The Muppet's tee-shirt came from the thrift store, and the jean jacket is actually 2 sizes too small for her, but fit perfectly with the outfit. High-top tennis shoes, side ponytail, and her new Hello Kitty necklace made it perfect. I think her outfit was my favorite :).
For Mustang, I was thrilled to find this super tacky, acrylic, straight from the 80's sweater! It even has metallic thread. I swear I had this shirt at one point, lol! Paired with a skirt and leggings directly from her closet, handmade leg-warmers we found at the recent homeschool swap, and a pair of stylin' heals, she was rockin' it! Big hair was so fun with her hair, and her fingernails are each painted a different color. I loved it, she didn't really.
And there there was me! I got most of my outfit at the thrift store. I found these stylin (or not) maternity jeans with the tags still on them. Lol! Yep they were cute. The jacket came from the same place. Now the shirt, I had, but hadn't thought to pair it with a hot pink blazer and awesome hot pink shoes. Too bad you can't see my earrings...as they won't be part of my daily wear! I soo wish I had thought to pick up a broach, but hopefully my big hair and hot pink lipstick made up for it.
Charger dressed up, but somehow we don't have a picture. He was really hard, as the current clothes are 'almost' the same but just not quite. We paired a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tee with a pair of tight-rolled jeans.
My husband was not interested in dressing up, lol! But, that's okay we still had a great time!
My snack to share was a recent Pinterest find and boy was it yummy!! It includes artichokes, crab meat, cream cheese, and best of all a crock pot!! You can read the entire recipe at Real House Moms. Lots of compliments and just a little left over to munch on today :).
So, how did you ring in your New Year? I hope you had a lot of fun with your family, friends, or whomever you spent your night with.
Happy New Year!!
God Bless,

Obama "Searching for clarity" on Libya
Amplify'd from www.chicagotribune.com
While Obama searches for clarity, we're plunged into another war
President Barack Obama unmasked himself Tuesday.
He was in El Salvador, standing with Salvadoran President Mauricio Funes, when reporters asked him about his war in Libya.
It is indeed his war. He started it. He gave the order to launch the missiles over the weekend. And now the man who ran for president as an anti-war candidate owns his very own war.
But there has been confusion over which member of his coalition will command the war. Will Obama ask a foreign general to direct American troops? Will President Nicolas Sarkozy of France take the coalition lead?
On Tuesday, Obama was asked about these command issues. It wasn't a trick. It should have been expected. He stood there, and he opened his mouth.Read more at www.chicagotribune.com
"I would expect that over the next several days you will have clarity and a meeting of the minds of all those who are participating in the process," Obama said.

Thirteen-year-old Giles is the last person anyone would expect to save the planet. he's not as charming as his little sister, and not as brainy as his goody-goody older brother. But when Giles witnesses an alien realtor showing Earth to possible new tenants, he knows he'd better do something. With the help of an alien "attorney" and the maddest scientist in middle-grade fiction, Giles just might save humans from eviction from Earth. Let's hope so. The alternatives are...not so hospitable.

Representative Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) and Representative Tim Murphy (R-PA) Co-Chairs of the 21st Century Health Care Caucus joined HIMSS at a press conference on Capitol Hill January 28th to stress how important the stimulus package is for health IT. Representative Kennedy is pleased and appreciative that President Obama has made HIT a priority and is anxious to see the bill signed into law.
Representative Murphy told the press that it is an exciting day with the House passage of the bill but he would like to see the work resulting from the stimulus package stay in the U.S. since it will use taxpayer money.
Sue Schade, CIO, Brigham & Women's Hospital actively involved in health technology reports that 65 CIOs representing healthcare providers throughout the U.S. have just called on Congress to increase EMR adoption rates across the nation and have signed a "Congressional Call for Action". The hospitals represented by the 65 CIOs are among the top hospitals in the U.S. in terms of EMR adoption.
To emphasize the need for health technology adoption, Stephen Lieber President & CEO, HIMSS, explained how the White River Rural Health Clinic in Arkansas with 24 medical locations has instituted EHRs in all 24 locations as part of their "Total Care System". Patients now use a web-based Patient Portal to easily and securely communicate with their clinicians and the system is used to review prescription information, lab results, diagnostic results, and appointment information.
The efficiencies gained have enabled White River to open new facilities including two wellness centers and a dialysis center that are not federally funded. The efficiencies gained from using technology have allowed White River to reduce the workforce of more than 200 employees to 165.
The Steering Committee on Telehealth and Healthcare Informatics held a briefing following the press conference bringing together leaders from many of the organizations that are addressing critical issues concerning healthcare technology. Representatives from AHIMA, ATA, eHealth Initiative, HIMSS, HIT Now Coalition, and the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare emphasized that their respective organizations are pleased that so much progress is being made and look forward to seeing changes that will help all Americans benefit from an improved healthcare system.
Meredith Taylor, Director of Congressional Affairs, HIMSS detailed the HIT provisions in the House bill that just passed that supports $20 billion for Health IT. The House bill provides for funding of $2 billion for the Office of the National Coordinator. Some of the provisions include having a Chief Privacy Officer to advice the ONC, establishing two advisory committees—one on policy and the other committee to advise on standards, and the bill provides grant programs, demonstration programs, and education and training. Medicare and Medicaid will provide increased reimbursements to physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare provided that they adopt technology.
Jonathan D. Linkous, CEO, American Telemedicine Association, said "the legislation represents a first step but we will then need to focus on how the legislation will be implemented and what the rules will be put in place."
Linkous also mentioned that the $2 billion proposed for healthcare through the Office of the National Coordinator specifically mentions telemedicine as a priority for spending. Other areas for telemedicine spending include the USDA Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grant program and the Broadband grant program in the Department of Commerce. In addition, there are other funds for telemedicine that may be contained within expanded funding for federal programs at NIST, IHS, and SSA.
Linkous pointed out that since the stimulus package involves a number of agencies with HIT and telemedicine activities and responsibilities, it is very important to not only coordinate HIT and telemedicine activities within each of the agencies, but also in the Federal government as a whole.

- Full Cast: Joe Parker, Adam Ramzi, Bryan Cole, Luke Milan, Mitchell Rock, Jesse Santana, Trenton Ducati, Scott Hunter, and Josh West
HOLE 2In HOLE 2, big-dicked voyeur Josh West oversees a grim detention center whose inhabitants are forced to watch each other jack off or fuck on closed-circuit TV. Josh allows them to watch each other, and he continually plays hot puppet master by throwing two men together to enjoy watching them sexually ravish each other. The solitary confinement and continuous porn diet that he subjects these rugged men to fills them with passions in need of quenching. HOLE 2, directed by award winning Tony Dimarco and Adam Killian, features four twisted pairs of big dicks and the holes they fill and a solo finale. Solitary has left Joe Parker horny, and needing a bath and shave. When Adam Ramzi is shoved in his cell, Joe reacts like a caged beast being fed. Then, two scenes whose models are immobilized by being wrapped in plastic. For Luke Milan, oxygen deprivation plus sex deprivation equals combustion. Bryan Cole unwraps Luke like a present then surrenders his ass. Mitchell Rock and Jesse Santana are both captured in red plastic. Jesse is restrained face-down and Mitchell can see, but not reach, Jesse's ass ... until he shreds his casing and seizes the hole that's tantalizing him. Trenton Ducati is abducted and tossed in a running shower unconscious. When Scott Hunter materializes, his beefy pecs and high, round ass cause Trenton to come to. Finally, the architect of these confined sexual matches, Josh West, watches his master plan become reality and pleasures himself. In Hole 2, muscle, sweat and cock add up to relentless sexual appetites that might have been forged in a nuclear reactor. It's a prison some men want to get into, not out of.

Those wonderful traditions that make our holidays feel like home, that make them magical. Traditions that link past years with the present. Each family has their own. For me, the Christmas season begins right after Thanksgiving Dinner. That's when we go in search of our cedar tree to place by the front door. We began this tradition when The Boy was just a little guy. Year after year, we walked down the dirt road, after stuffing ourselves with a Thanksgiving feast, and picked out a special little tree to take back home with us to Louisiana. The tree always took its place next to the front door covered with lights. We no longer live in the city, but our tradition continues, and now The Boy cuts his own tree for his home.
This year was no different. After a wonderful lunch with our family, we loaded up in search of our little trees. My grandsons each picked out their own tiny tree to carry home.
|Levi and Dylan choosing the "perfect" tree.
|Cedar trees tend to be a little like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree...a little scrappy. I like scrappy.
|The stars represent the Star of Bethlehem that announced the birth of Jesus.
|An old crock holds this years tree.
|My Radio Flyer is carrying a cedar tree and firewood.
|The old Santa used to stand on my Grandparents front porch at Christmas.

I've been in Indiana since Monday and get to head home this afternoon. Hooray!
During my stay, I've had quite the little tour of the suburban towns of Indianapolis. Our hotel was in the very tiny town of Lebanon, while the audit was located in Whitestown about 10 minutes away. A few days before I left for my trip, the idea popped into my head that I might be relatively close to my friend, Kali's new house so I did a quick MapQuest search. Only about 30 minutes!
So of course we had to meet for dinner! 🙂
The weather was beautiful… a tad hot with the sun out but once it went down, it was perfect! we sat outside at Detour Bar & Grille and each ordered a salad and a couple cocktails. It was such a treat to meet up on a whim and I'm glad we got to catch up!
We met about halfway between the both of us in the super cute town of Carmel. There were so many little shops and restaurants that I wish we had more time to spend walking around.
Crossfit Carmel
I really enjoyed visiting the Crossfit gym during my last audit so I thought I'd check out if there was one in the area. Since I loved the friendly town of Carmel so much, I decided to stop in for a workout at Crossfit Carmel this morning.
It's really interesting to see how one box differs from another and is unique in its own way.
Everyone was very welcoming and encouraging during the workout. After a warm-up, we ran a 1 mile time trial and I was very pleased with my result – 6 min 47 sec! Since my half marathon set me back a bit, this was the first time I felt good enough to run again.
Next, we completed the WOD (workout of the day) which consisted 3 rounds of 300 meters on the row machine followed by 30 box jumps. It was tough but it definitely woke me up and now I'm ready for the day!

Debt-riddled Puerto Rico paid all of its $1.9 billion in obligations due on Wednesday, sources told CNBC.
With the payments, the island, for the moment, avoided sinking further into financial crisis. Puerto Rico Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla recently called its roughly $73 billion in debt "not payable," fueling concerns among investors and bond insurers.
The National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation—an indirect subsidiary of MBIA—separately confirmed Wednesday that the island's struggling power utility, Prepa, and other Puerto Rico-related institutions made their debt-service payments.
"As a result, there were no claims on any of National's insurance policies," it said in a statement.

The Netherlands is a relatively small country. Yet the National Committee is convinced there is substantial knowledge and expertise in the Netherlands when it comes to commemorating, celebrating and remembering that comparable institutions in other countries can benefit from. And the same is true the other way around. For that reason, the National Committee wants to encourage the exchange of knowledge and experience on an international level. While no grants are provided in connection with this policy, the National Committee does have the means and possibilities to actively stimulate the international network. The most important goal of the National Committee's international activities is the exchange of knowledge and experience between Dutch professionals and professionals from other countries.
Besides promoting the exchange of knowledge, the National Committee also aims to participate in projects that extend across borders and to initiate and reinforce collaboration between Dutch institutions and institutions abroad. The National Committee is doing that by exchanging information, by organising activities such as symposiums, lectures and debates for both Dutch and foreign professionals and by organising short trips to stimulate exchanges and the building of networks. The National Committee also shares with institutions in other countries its own unique knowledge and experience in the area of remembrance, celebration and education. Through such international cooperation, Dutch and foreign institutions are helping each other form a lasting tradition of remembrance and celebration. The National Committee provides tailored advice in its field of expertise upon request.
The IHRA
On behalf of the Dutch government, the National Committee for 4 and 5 May is a member of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). The purpose of this intergovernmental body is to rally political and social leaders to support the need for Holocaust education, remembrance and research, both nationally and internationally. Initiated in 1998 by the then Swedish Prime Minister, Göran Persson, the IHRA has grown to include 31 member states (as of 2013). Countries wishing to create programmes on Holocaust education or to further develop their existing information materials and activities in this area are invited to work together with the IHRA. To this end, Liaison Projects can be established between countries and the IHRA for long-term cooperation. Such cooperation is mutually beneficial to all concerned.

The Charlotte Pro League launched in 2005, and is an initiative of the Charlotte Tennis Association. The Pro League brings together the best players in Charlotte to compete on teams. Teams compete for the Championship title, a little prize money, and more importantly, bragging rights until the next year. Men and women are drafted to teams from the best 5.0 and above level players in the area. Each week team matches are scheduled at rotating tennis venues, designed to provide a fun event for the larger tennis community. Spectators are treated to exciting and spirited high level doubles competition.
In 2012, Pro League organizers and players demonstrated their passion for the sport across all levels by forming a charitable association with the Charlotte Special Olympics tennis program. Weekly matches provide a platform to create a greater awareness for these Special Olympic athletes and the local program. Activities include exhibition matches, collection boxes for gently used racquets and shoes and bake sales. The Pro League has also committed to donate a portion of their proceeds, and several Pro League players are giving their time to assist with the Special Olympic tennis practices.
The Charlotte Tennis Association and the Charlotte Pro League are looking forward to continuing and expanding this association in the future.

Update 3: Masks in the game
Greetings and salutations game aficionados,
welcome on board to all new backers and thanks to kickstarter for putting us on their selected projects list and including us in their recommendations news!
Today we want to talk a little about masks. In Backdrop, donning a mask means more than simply swapping a set of skills with another. It actually defines your protagonists personality, changing the way you interact with others and how they perceive you. Masks grant unique skills and perks (such as the knight's heavy armour), but also have their weak sides (like making the knight slower in combat and making it hard to sneak up on someone). But the system goes further. In a classic Shakespear play, many roles are immediately recognizable and usually have a few defining traits. The same goes for a mask: It focuses on a few strong character traits and this will define the range of possibilities you have to interact with others and the environment. This makes donning a mask a wide-reaching decision and can lead to very different results.
Here is a short video that shows a simple example – in the actual game choices will be a little less obvious.
Keep spreading the word and thanks for supporting the game!

I've spent a lot of time in the past few weeks yelling at my kids. Not because they deserve it but because every time something got hard I got angry. I thought a lot of it was because of the journey we have ahead of us to inter my father's ashes. That with my kids fighting bedtime, I was a mess.
Two days before Father's Day was here, my friend mentioned how hard it is. And I wanted to cry. I didn't think Father's Day was going to be anything for me because I hadn't made it anything for my Dad over the past few years. On Saturday, I had two lemonade and vodkas before supper. I loved the buzz. On Sunday, I just kept breathing and tried to make it through. The first hymn at church was one we often sang as I was growing up and I could hear my Dad's voice. I couldn't sing. Too many tears were ready.
Monday we started a project on our porch that I thought would be quick. Pressure washing away the paint on the ceiling of our porch and then letting it dry so I could start painting on Friday. That was not the case. There's been a lot of scraping. I hate scraping.
This morning I woke up and I was on the verge of tears. I'm sad. I'm grieving. It's an unexpected stage but it is still hard. I kept trying to put one foot in front of the other but I was stuck. I didn't know how I'd make it through with the kids. My feet have been bothering so I decided I'd load them up in the car and head north 35 miles to get some insoles as well as play at a park that was near enough to the store. I didn't leave on time so that I could get back for nap time. But instead of getting stressed out, I let go. (This is my biggest lesson right now, learning to let go.) I stopped at a St. Arbucks, grabbed a fully-caffeinated latte and headed to the park. The kids played for an hour and I love drinking my coffee as they had fun. Then we got my insoles and headed to a fast food chicken restaurant-A for lunch. Little Man fell asleep on the way home and continued to sleep when the car was parked at home.
I usually plan things. I hold on to nap time with white knuckles so I can keep my sanity. But today, my sanity was found as I threw away the usual schedule and allowed myself to be sad. It's nice to be sad. It's easier to be angry but actually allowing the hard part, the sadness, through, then the healing can begin.

by Daniel Pipes
The arrest and indictment of top military figures in Turkey last week precipitated potentially the most severe crisis since Atatürk founded the republic in 1923. The weeks ahead will probably indicate whether the country continues its slide toward Islamism or reverts to its traditional secularism. The denouement has major implications for Muslims everywhere.
Turkey's military has long been both the state's most trusted institution and the guarantor of Atatürk's legacy, especially his laicism. Devotion to the founder is not some dry abstraction but a very real and central part of a Turkish officer's life; as journalist Mehmet Ali Birand has documented, cadet-officers hardly go an hour without hearing Atatürk's name invoked.

Gal. 5:22-23 - My inspiration for this project, 1st of allies the Bible verse. Secondly, whenever I am faced with a challenge, or am on a mission trip, I pray these verses daily. I believe that if each one of us focused on these Fruits of the Spirit, our world would be a much better place!
My technique: I'm not much of a planner, so I just sort of design as I go. (I don't recommend that, it often times gets me in trouble!) I used loosely woven white fabric for each flag. I painted them with diluted paints after spraying them with water. This way the fabric still has a soft feel. I stamped different designs on them and did some sun printing on one. I added torn strips of fabrics, some lace and left all threads uncut. Each flag is backed with silk fabric I purchased in Cambodia. I was privileged with a mission trip to teach young ladies how to sew in an orphanage there, Shelter of Love.

If you've never been to Coachella...you need to go.
This was my first year and I am now a believer. It was so amazing to be surrounded by friends, artwork, wonderful music, hippie fashion, sunshine and happy smiling faces for three days. I wasn't allowed to bring in my pro camera without a press pass so I don't have many pictures of inside the venue but I got some great ones of my friends getting ready to go (for the girls, this is half the fun!)
Such a memorable weekend!

The MET Theatre has deep roots in the land of 99 seats. More than thirty years ago, Bill Bushnell and his LA Actors Theatre held forth there with excellent productions using professional actors to high acclaim. Today, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice meet Hair meets La Cage Aux Folles in Dolf Ramos and Marco Gomez's cracker jack production of Jesus Christ: Superstar. A superior cast rocks the house upstairs at the MET. It's a musical celebration in the midst of controversy about Actors Equity Association rattling sabers, ready to gut the current 99 Seat Plan. The irony is that Ramos and Gomez, producers of high quality musical theatre in the tiny space on Oxford, actually pay their actors, hire musicians as well as top notch technical staff. A full house for a Sunday matinee means a couple of things. One is that JC Superstar is a tried and true hit. Second is that with a cast of over twenty five actors and musicians, you can guarantee at least a few full houses who will stand to applaud. When word of mouth gets out, it'll still rock on its own.
Fact is that this DOMA production, not without its flaws, will bring an audience of even total strangers to their feet and rightly so. The Webber/Rice version of the last days of Jesus are seen through the eyes of Judas, (terrific Jeremy Saje), whose strong voice and dedication to the part bring chills. One distraction, however is that our standard 'bearded lady' memory of the King of Kings remembers him with long flowing hair. The hairpiece that equally strong Nate Parker as Jesus sports was immediately an issue for me. From the leads to the ensemble, costumes by Lauren Oppelt and commitment are consistent and well done. With the hip modern day approach to the play, real hair for Jesus would have been just fine. Abandoning disbelief is crucial, even in a rock opera. Excellent performances include strong vocals by Renee Cohen as Mary Magdalene and Venny Carronza as Herod.
Excessive stage fog seemed unnecessary, but the excellent stage design by John Iacovelli and an amazing live band directed by Chris Raymond make this a truly professional production. Director Marco Gomez and choreographer Angela Todaro deserve double applause for their precision. Over all, this is a great presentation of a classic American Rock Opera.
DOMA is dedicated to musical theatre. It's a must see.
Parking for the theatre is available east of Santa Monica with a few spots in the neighborhood. Arrive early.

West EndThis end is more damaged than the east end. It has been largely reconstructed. Its subjects are similar to those on the east end. (See below.)
East End
SirensTwo different guidebooks refer to these marine creatures as Siren, an attribution I find curious since Sirens normally are depicted with wings. These sea creatures on each side of the pediment indicate Roman dominance of the oceans; they may also be reminders of naval victories, particularly Actium, which had become legendary.
Continuous reliefThe narrow strip of relief scenes continues from the other sides depicting combat scenes between armed Romans and naked Gauls.
CaptivesCaptives are situated on each side of the arch between columns. Trophies are in the reliefs above their heads-the spoils of victory like shields, lances, trumpets, standards, and fittings for horses.

Since the passage of the historic health care reform bill last week we've seen things in American take a very stark and ugly turn. We've witnessed violent protests, heard violence laced rhetoric, lies spewed on every network channel in America. We've seen physical confrontations, we've seen politicians have offices vandalized, lives threatened and violence directed at our government. And unfortunately we've seen political figures, sitting members of Congress, Presidential wannabes and long time pundits do every thing in their power either to either further incite the violence, personally profit from the violence and even seen politicians reveling in the violence.
One such wannabe is Mrs. Sarah Palin herself. Not Governor Palin, but Mrs. Palin. The title of Governor no longer applies since she quit her job 1.5 years into the fours years she was elected to serve her state. Mrs. Palin is all she is now and hopefully all she will be known as.
Mrs. Palin took it upon herself to be the 'leader of the hate party' and revels in the role. It is the role she is most comfortable in. In 2008 when Palin was ramping up the rhetoric about a presidential candidate 'palling around with terrorists' and 'not like real Americans' and 'someone who sees America as imperfect' threats against then candidate Barack Obama drastically increased. When the secret service contacted the McCain campaign with a request to tone it down, Senator John McCain attempted to do just that although to little too late. Yet Mrs. Palin reveled in the attention, the nastiness, the meanness, the violence, the anger. She thrives on it. She lives for it. So true to Mrs. Palin's opportunistic nature she again takes full advantage of the situation. Frustrated, angry, confused, mis-lead, disassociated, desperate people?? Time to amp up the fear, time to get those wallets open, time to justify their hate and give them more to hate.
So first we see this on her Facebook page, Mrs. Palin's chosen media to communicate with her 'followers'. The graphic she includes points out the 20 Democrats up for re-election in 2010 that also voted in favor of health care reform. This is Palin's way of profit for personal gain by exploiting the fear of others. She could care less about these elections or the outcome. What she wants is more money directed to SarahPac, because financial disclosure released so far show she gives about 1% raised to actual candidates while the majority is spent on overhead, consultants, advertising for SarahPac, flights on private jets, hotel fees for her family and friends, meals, clothing, etc. Oh yeah and $1,000 for the National Down Syndrome Association. Way to advocate for those families Sarah.
With the president signing this unwanted and "transformative" government takeover of our health care system today with promises impossible to keep, let's not get discouraged. Don't get demoralized. Get organized!
We're going to reclaim the power of the people from those who disregarded the will of the people. We're going to fire them and send them back to the private sector, which has been shrinking thanks to their destructive government-growing policies. Maybe when they join the millions of unemployed, they'll understand why Americans wanted them to focus on job creation and an invigorated private sector. Come November, we're going to print pink slips for members of Congress as fast as they've been printing money.
We'll aim for these races and many others. This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington. Please go to sarahpac.com and join me in the fight.
Stand tall, America. Real change is coming!
While it's easy to see for those informed on all things Palin that this is nothing more than a fund raising opportunity, it must also be said that there are far too many people in this country disturbed enough, angry enough, desperate enough or fed up enough that they might take Mrs. Palin's graphic as literal.
But not too worry as her old pal Jon McCain tells us no one need apologize for rhetoric like this, no one need tone it down, no one needs to do anything because this is all just harmless politicking. No violence to worry about. Nothing to see here. So much so that McCain reacted to Anne Curry of the Today show much like he did near the end of the campaign when he knew he was on the losing end. Anger, frustration, deflection, talking over her and the like. At one point I really thought he'd call her a name. That was last Thursday.
But by Saturday Mrs. Palin was in Mesa to campaign on behalf of McCain in his desperate attempt to keep his senate seat. One that is now at risk due to his disatrous choice of a Vice Presidentail candidate, the very candidate he's now using. Although those watching the speech would wonder if Mrs. Palin was really there on behalf of his opponent Mr. Hayward. Don't have to look very hard or even have the sound on to know that Sarah Palin is THE LAST person John McCain wants to deal with let alone use for help.
So what happened at that McCain rally? You guessed it………………….violence! Kind of feels like October 2008 again huh? Two men who claim to be Libertarian showed up at the rally and called McCain out for his YES vote on the bailout for the banks in September 2008. Both men exercising their right to free speech. This is America after all. Yet when these men spoke out in opposition to a statement made by Mrs. Palin about John McCain's dedication to his constituents, they were physically assaulted and drug out of the building, thrown in handcuffs, punched and never once informed by anyone just who was throwing the handcuffs on them until after the fact. Originally arrested although no charges filed, but those that assaulted these two men physically……just have a seat and finish listening to the speech.
Sarah wants you to stand up for your rights and freedoms and not let big government getcha, yet when someone questions Mr. McCain's contribution to big government he's met with violence. Violence that was celebrated and met with sarcasm from Mrs. Palin. You see Mrs. Palin suffers from a lower Emotion IQ than many of us, although there are many just as emotionally void as Mrs. Palin. She just can't help herself. Her emotional maturity, ability to apply logic or reason, and inability to accept disappointment were all stunted at a very early age. Hence Mrs. Palin's Mean Girl behavior. Poor girl just can't help herself. She is what she is………………………..a mean girl.
Is it safe to assume that Mrs. Palin is clearly amping up the violence and giving it a voice. She is an opportunist in every fashion, whether taking things that don't belong to her, charging taxpayers to fly her kids all over, not paying taxes on property she never reported, using other people's hard earned money to fill her own bank account there is very little Mrs. Palin is above doing. Case in point below.
Yesterday Mrs. Palin leaves this lovely gem for her Facebook followers although she attempts to tie it to March Madness, her message comes through loud and clear. You can't make me stop, nan a nan a boo boo.
From the shot across the bow – the first second's tip-off – your leaders will be in the enemy's crosshairs, so you must execute strong defensive tactics. You won't win only playing defense, so get on offense! The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons – your Big Guns – to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win.
Focus on the goal and fight for it. If the gate is closed, go over the fence. If the fence is too high, pole vault in. If that doesn't work, parachute in. If the other side tries to push back, your attitude should be "go for it." Get in their faces and argue with them. (Sound familiar?!) Every possession is a battle; you'll only win the war if you've picked your battles wisely. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!
– Sarah Palin
As if what was happening on the weekend of the vote wasn't violent enough we now have Mrs. Sarah Palin proudly, happily spewing the message far and wide, just don't forget to stop by her PAC and leave a donation though ok? She's really trying to help all you anxious, unemployed, angry, frustrated REAL Americans, but first she needs your money.
Need further proof….
Remember the day of the vote when three African American members of Congress claimed they had hate speech hurled at them and people were spitting on them? Remember how we were told that is a lie………………….well video doesn't lie, nor will two separate videos. Take note of the alternative Nazi flag being carried around. Move along people nothing to fear here.
Their right to free speech? The right to scream racially motivated statements in someone's face. The right to spit on elected officials in the U.S. Government.
Yet when someone else tries to exercise their right to free speech? Not so welcome then. Kind of like what happened at the John McCain rally in Mesa this weekend. Our voice must be heard. Yours, not allowed.
Oops almost forgot……while all this was going on this weekend the Feds were busy arresting a self-made militia group that intended on wiping out the entire police force in their town.
Nope nothing to denounce here. Move on people. You can a read the entire indictment if you'd like but be warned their plans are not for the faint of heart. The FBI was also busy arresting other militia members in Ohio and Indiana this weekend too.
Nothing to see here right? No one was amping up the rhetoric, no violence directed at anyone. No harm no foul right?
UPDATE: Carolyn Myss asks in her article Are Republican Right Wingers a Threat to Homeland Security:
As for Sarah Palin, our Republican Court Fool, here's a sweet quote from her: "In Alaska, you know what we do with people like that? We hunt 'em down and shoot 'em between the eyes." Note that she is busy trying to backtrack on that remark and a few others like, "Don't retreat, reload", saying that she was actually referring to "voting 'em out at the polls". What? Since when is "shoot 'em between the eyes" a slogan for inspiring voting? Is this woman insane or what? Or does she think we are? Or is she coming very close to committing sedition? I remind you that this nation is still at war and inciting acts of violence against the government while the nation is at war borders on sedition. This may not be an anti-war protest in its purest sense but at its core, the ambition to weaken this government is crystal clear.
You can read more about Mrs. Sarah Palin's teachings from the AIP you can read it straight from one of her teachers. He's all too happy to take credit for teaching Sarah to be an all around anti-American girl. You betcha!
Palin backed Chryson as he successfully advanced a host of anti-tax, pro-gun initiatives, including one that altered the state Constitution's language to better facilitate the formation of anti-government militias. She joined in their vendetta against several local officials they disliked, and listened to their advice about hiring. She attempted to name Stoll, a John Birch Society activist known in the Mat-Su Valley as "Black Helicopter Steve," to an empty Wasilla City Council seat. "Every time I showed up her door was open," said Chryson. "And that policy continued when she became governor."
Hickel's subsequent failure as governor to press for a vote on Alaskan independence rankled Old Joe. With sponsorship from the Islamic Republic of Iran, Vogler was scheduled to present his case for Alaskan secession before the United Nations General Assembly in the late spring of 1993. But before he could, Old Joe's long, strange political career ended tragically that May when he was murdered by a fellow secessionist.
Chryson and Stoll viewed Palin's ascendancy as a vehicle for their own political ambitions. "She got support from these guys," Stein remarked. "I think smart politicians never utter those kind of radical things, but they let other people do it for them. I never recall Sarah saying she supported the militia or taking a public stand like that. But these guys were definitely behind Sarah, thinking she was the more conservative choice."
"They worked behind the scenes," said Stein. "I think they had a lot of influence in terms of helping with the back-scatter negative campaigning."
Indeed, Chryson boasted that he and his allies urged Palin to focus her campaign on slashing character-based attacks. For instance, Chryson advised Palin to paint Stein as a sexist who had told her "to just sit there and look pretty" while she served on Wasilla's City Council. Though Palin never made this accusation, her 1996 campaign for mayor was the most negative Wasilla residents had ever witnessed.
While Palin played up her total opposition to the sales tax and gun control — the two hobgoblins of the AIP — mailers spread throughout the town portraying her as "the Christian candidate," a subtle suggestion that Stein, who is Lutheran, might be Jewish. "I watched that campaign unfold, bringing a level of slime our community hadn't seen until then," recalled Phil Munger, a local music teacher who counts himself as a close friend of Stein.
When Palin won the election, the men who had once shouted anti-government slogans outside City Hall now had a foothold inside the mayor's office. Palin attempted to pay back her newfound pals during her first City Council meeting as mayor. In that meeting, on Oct. 14, 1996, she appointed Stoll to one of the City Council's two newly vacant seats. But Palin was blocked by the single vote of then-Councilman Nick Carney, who had endured countless rancorous confrontations with Stoll and considered him a "violent" influence on local politics. Though Palin considered consulting attorneys about finding another means of placing Stoll on the council, she was ultimately forced to back down and accept a compromise candidate.
When Palin became the Republican vice-presidential nominee, her attendance of the 1994 and 2006 AIP conventions and her husband's membership in the party (as well as Palin's videotaped welcome to the AIP's 2008 convention) generated a minor controversy. Chryson claimed, however, that Sarah and Todd Palin never even played a minor role in his party's internal affairs. "Sarah's never been a member of the Alaskan Independence Party," Chryson insisted. "Todd has, but most of rural Alaska has too. I never saw him at a meeting. They were at one meeting I was at. Sarah said hello, but I didn't pay attention because I was taking care of business."
But whether the Palins participated directly in shaping the AIP's program is less relevant than the extent to which they will implement that program. Chryson and his allies have demonstrated just as much interest in grooming major party candidates as they have in putting forward their own people. At a national convention of secessionist groups in 2007, AIP vice chairman Dexter Clark announced that his party would seek to "infiltrate" the Democratic and Republican parties with candidates sympathetic to its hard-right, secessionist agenda. "You should use that tactic. You should infiltrate," Clark told his audience of neo-Confederates, theocrats and libertarians. "Whichever party you think in that area you can get something done, get into that party. Even though that party has its problems, right now that is the only avenue."
Clark pointed to Palin's political career as the model of a successful infiltration. "There's a lot of talk of her moving up," Clark said of Palin. "She was a member [of the AIP] when she was mayor of a small town, that was a nonpartisan job. But to get along and to go along she switched to the Republican Party … She is pretty well sympathetic because of her membership."
Clark's assertion that Palin was once a card-carrying AIP member was swiftly discredited by the McCain campaign, which produced records showing she had been a registered Republican since 1988. But then why would Clark make such a statement? Why did he seem confident that Palin was a true-blue AIP activist burrowing within the Republican Party? The most salient answer is that Palin was once so thoroughly embedded with AIP figures like Chryson and Stoll and seemed so enthusiastic about their agenda, Clark may have simply assumed she belonged to his party.

This strange aversion only seems to be based around blankets and hats. I have no idea why. Last Halloween, she was dressed up as a dinosaur (or a dragon). In my biased opinion she was adorable with her little tail and purple belly. But she would not wear the cap that went with the costume, that would give the illusion that her face was within a lizard's head. I think the entire family wore that cap over the day and night to try to show that it could be fun and comfortable, but she didn't fall for it.
She still shows no interest in wearing it, or any other cap, but I hope someday she discovers the joy of being warm in the winter.

A German cartoon from 1914 showing the lay of the political land as seen from the German perspective at the outbreak of World War One. As the text below the picture states, Germany and the Austro-Hungary Empire defend "blows from all sides", particularly from the east in the form of a huge snarling Russian face. To the right of the image a banner declares that 10% of the proceeds of the map's sale will go toward the Red Cross. The map is accompanied by a contemporary version of a French woodcut depicting a very different looking Europe of 1870.
The images are from the Berlin State Library and are featured as part of the wonderful new project from Europeana, "Europeana, 1914-18" which is marking 100 years since the outbreak of WW1 with a remarkable pan-European pooling of material, from both individuals and institutions, relating to the "Great War".

Abortion is an issue that has been heavy on my heart. For some reason, the deaths of these children have become very real to me. Maybe our own stillborn daughter contributes to that. I know what a dead baby looks like. This is not a political issue, not a difference of doctrine or a disagreement over scientific beliefs. These are real, living children, murdered for the sake of their mothers' "right to choose."
Today after church we happened past the local Planned Parenthood clinic and noticed some protestors. Maybe I haven't mentioned this before but hubby's family and mine used to picket abortion clinics together long before we were sweethearts. He's been heard to say we met on the picket line. We were 12 or 13 at the time, like Kaitlyn is now.
I rolled down my window so that he could yell out encouragement as we passed them. Then, much to the chagrin of certain children, we circled back and joined them. It was just like the old days for hubby and me, but this was the children's first time.
We learned that they are currently in the midst of the 40 Days for Life 2008 fall campaign. The idea is to have people commit together to have peaceful protestors present at local clinics for 24 hours/day, 40 days in a row.
We hope to go back on Monday and/or Wednesday this week, and would love to have others in the area join us. If you can find a local campaign please consider joining in. Just an hour or two as you able can make a difference.

"Come inside the festival," says President Bakker
By Camie Fenton Sands
The other day, Dirk Bakker, president of the San Miguel Chamber Music Festival, looked over a seating chart of the Teatro Ángela Peralta and was once again reminded why the festival has, for 36 seasons, been a singular attraction in a city known for its culture. "Really," he said, "where else can you sit in such an intimate space, so perfect for the ensembles' fine-honed musicians to touch your mind, body and spirit, and to be stirred by the greatest composers' feelings put to music, being performed by the best chamber musicians in the world?" He added, "From July 31 through August 23 this year, our annual San Miguel Chamber Music Festival will once again open up its 'music room' in the Peralta. Walking through the streets of San Miguel and crossing the Jardín already places one in this indefinable space, even before entering the theater."
The Peralta, the colonial theater on the corner of Mesones and Hernández Macías, is known for its warm, intimate acoustics, even in its two balconies. But Bakker noted that, as always, the choicest seats in the performance hall will be reserved for festival patrons—placing those spectators so close to the musicians they will be able to hear the sounds of bows making contact with the instruments' strings.
Bakker added, "We have room in the theater for many more patrons this season, and that is what we want the community to know—that you can have a reserved seat for the eight premier concerts, an invitation to four after-concert parties, and the ability to observe master classes, all for a minimum starting donation of US$500. These patron packages truly put you inside the festival and all the excitement. And these packages qualify for a charitable tax receipt."
Bakker is highly enthusiastic about this year's season, which promises to be one of the best ever, on July 31 and August 1 with the Borromeo String Quartet. "This quartet brought the house down here in 2009," he recalls. "They love our festival, and have agreed to take time out of their busy touring schedule to return and play for us." Known as one of the world's most adventurous string ensembles, the Borromeo pushes musical, intellectual and technical boundaries to a level achieved by only a very few musical groups.
The second weekend of the festival (August 9 and 10) marks the return of another audience favorite—the Gryphon Trio, generally regarded as the finest piano trio ensemble in Canada, and one of the best in the classical music firmament. "Their performances last year were so magical that we asked them right back," Bakker says. "They themselves had fallen under the spell of San Miguel, so they happily agreed." The Toronto-based trio has produced fifteen acclaimed recordings and won the 2011 Juno Award (Canada's Grammy) for Classical Album of the Year.
The third weekend (August 15 and 16) marks the San Miguel debut of the Calder String Quartet, a group that, according to the Los Angeles Times, "seems to have reached a new level, and now the stars are the limit." Bakker said, "The Calder has been wanting to share their innovations with us for years, and we finally connected." The ensemble has earned a reputation for performing contemporary chamber music and making that music accessible to audiences around the world.
"We'll say good-bye to our stellar 36th season with a group that Strad Magazine calls 'one of America's finest young chamber groups,' the Claremont Piano Trio," commented Bakker. "Even though they are highly in demand for performances at Carnegie Hall and the most prestigious festivals, they are so excited to come down and close our festival on August 22 and 23 that you really need to see and hear them. But better yet, meet them in person, too, by becoming a patron and truly being inside the festival's four weekends of world-class music and parties. This is the best way in the world to experience it. "Right here, this August," Bakker advised, as he placed a red mark over another reserved seat on the patron-seating chart.
To become a patron, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call or visit the festival office on the second floor of the Bellas Artes, Hernandez Macias 75, open 10am to 4pm, 415-154-8722. For music programs and group information, please visit www.festivalsanmiguel.com on the Web.

Mostly the CentOS servers that I am using is run on CLI (Command-Line Interface) mode. But in some cases, I need to have a desktop to install some applications with GUI (Grapich User Interface) mode. In this case, I will use GNOME, the most popular user-friendly desktop for any UNIX based system.
Variable that I used as below:
OS: CentOS 6.2 64bit
Desktop environment: GNOME
1. To add Gnome/GUI to a minimal CentOS 6 install run
(short name version):
(short name version):
yum groupinstall basic-desktop desktop-platform x11 fonts
Or for the "long name" version:
yum groupinstall "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "X Window System" "Fonts"
2. Since previously the server is running on CLI mode, we need to change some value to tell CentOS to boot up in the GUI mode. Open /etc/inittab via text editor and change following line:
3. Reboot:
Note: You can switch from GUI to CLI mode manually by using following method:
GUI to CLI: Ctrl + Alt + F6
CLI to GUI: Ctrl + Alt + F1
CLI to GUI: Ctrl + Alt + F1
If you want to start the desktop from CLI console (not SSH session), use following command:
In some cases, when you login into the system via GUI, you will see some kind of weird boxes replacing the fonts. You can overcome this problem by installing fonts group via yum:
Done! We now have user-friendly interface like below:

Il Classico!
Warisan is an integral part of Bali's food history. Initially surrounded by rice paddies, a lone building in the 'country', it offered the first quality food option at a stand alone restaurant outside of the major hotels. Warisan began life as an Italian restaurant, it then went Vietnamese for a time before making its name with French cuisine. Now the cycle has been completed and it is once again Italian, and very fine dining!
Beppe de Vito came of age, so to speak, as the chef of the multi award winning Garibaldi in Singapore before branching out on his own with Il Lido at Sentosa Island. Since then more restaurants have been added to his Singapore chain; Latteria, Southbridge and &Sons, with more to come soon. Now Il Lido Bali has been added to this ever growing successful group.
Classic Italian dining, with modern interpretations is the best way to describe Beppe?s food. As with all great Italian restaurants world-wide, the essence is to begin with the best quality fresh ingredients, sometimes a difficult task here in Bali.
Start with Calamari? Why is it that Italians can always cook squid correctly, and virtually no one else can? At Il Lido it is crunchy but still tender baby calamari, a plate of little black rings as it has been cooked in a mayonnaise of squid ink. Octopus with Nudja [an Italian pork sausage, nicely spicy] is also a great entrée, as is Scallops in a lobster sauce, covered with young crisp asparagus spears.
Staying with seafood starters there are also Crab Cakes with a cream of avocado and Tuna Tartar which is with tomato caviar and beetroot. Then for the big spenders, you can order Sevruga Caviar with angel hair pasta.
Pork Loin is thinly sliced and tossed with a salad of apple and truffles. The Carpaccio is thinly sliced Wagyu beef, also with those crunchy spears of young asparagus, it is an incredibly delicate dish. The Foie Gras is roasted with butternut and shallots. Jamon Iberico de Bellota is stolen from Spain, that incredible ham that is made in a long process using only black Iberian pigs that have been fed a lifetime diet of acorns.
All the entrees here are best ordered in a group, slowly tasting the variety of combinations, one by one. There are also a selection of vegetarian options, including Eggs with crisp whites and a Mushroom Cacciatore, a simple salad of Grilled Peppers, capers and mozzarella or Zucchini Flowers with smoked Scarmorza [an Italian cheese made from cow's milk] but the highlight was definitely their Gnocchi Pumpkin Gratin, the pasta actually served in a hollowed out pumpkin base. But then in any quality Italian restaurant you automatically expect quality pasta, al dente, and that is what you get at Il Lido.
Other pasta dishes include perfect Beef Agnolotti that has been stuffed with a mix of mushrooms and gorgonzola, Spaghetti Seafood tossed with clams, etc. The Tagliatelle is with quail ragu and smoked ricotta and the Ravioli has been filled with truffle cheese and drizzled with veal jus.
Ossobuco is an essential component of any good Italian menu. The veal shank is served at Il Lido with a saffron risotto. Italian chefs all around the world have often kept a perfect bone slice from an Ossobuco and after removing the marrow [eating it of course] it serves as a toggle for the mandatory white linen scarf which they wear around their neck.
The Duck Trio [pictured] comprises a crisp leg confit, tender smoked breast meat [perfectly pink] and foie gras. This dish s worth the visit alone! The Tenderloin of Beef is from the Black Angus, served with a crust of bone marrow, and the Wagyu is done Tagliata style [sliced] tossed with truffled potatoes and asparagus. The Veal Milanese causes a stir on its arrival, so big it is virtually American style, the ends almost hanging off the plate. Crumbed, it is not unlike a Schnitzel from Vienna and as with that dish you squeeze lemon juice across the meat.
The seafood options are many, Red Snapper with glazed fennel, the Swordfish is with tomato and salmoriglio [a Sicilian sauce of lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped oregano and parsley, salt and pepper], Black Cod is with a prawn cacciucco [Tuscan fish soup] and then there are Baby Lobsters that come with a saffron tagliolini pasta.
Dessert is the time for a couple of Italian specials. Tiramisu is probably one of the most abused dishes as offered in restaurants, both Italian and others, sometimes not much more than a sloppy mess. Here it has the most perfect consistency, firm but moist, and that flavour! Sabayon, or Zablagione as I have always known it, is another Italian special, so sweet but oh so good. Cheese Platters can be a disaster in Bali but this one is very good with quite a selection of cheeses.
Quality fine dining in one of the most elegant but relaxed settings in Bali.
Beppe de Vito, welcome to Bali!
