This was an outdoor installation at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, PA consisting of five wooden columns with sculpted ceramic figures. The female forms were nude, vulnerable and out of reach, perched atop impossibly high pedestals. This work grew out of my interest in combining womens bodies with architectural elements, and took its inspiration from the many statues of the Virgin Mary posed atop columns and spires throughout the city of Rome.

How To Replace Storm Door Handle
Having a storm door is a great idea. If you already have one on your home, it is important to keep an eye on the handle. This part of these doors often breaks quicker than other parts of the door. The best thing to do if you are having issues with your current handle is to put in a whole new storm door handle. This is a very simple project and doesn't take very long either.

Cabaye enjoying free role - Pardew
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was full of praise for Yohan Cabaye after Saturday's 3-1 victory at West Ham, labelling the France midfielder "a class act".
Cabaye sealed the win in the final minute after having opened the scoring in the first half, much to the frustration of the Upton Park crowd.
Pardew said: "He has a great role for us, for the team. He gets almost a free role in the team in the number 10 shirt and I think he's enjoyed that.
"He's added goals to his game. The first one was a real class, individual goal - the touch, and the way he moved, and the sublime moment he took to finish it.
"And I thought he was a class act all day really and he has been a big player for us, and it's helped us get a rhythm in the midfield, which worked well for us today."
The Magpies boss was equally quick to highlight the collective effort, insisting he was only taking one negative from the match.
"I think the one regret of the game really were the final minutes of the first half when we'd played so well and got ourselves a great platform to win the game, and to concede at that moment was really, really bad," he said.
"I refocused at half-time to try and get the team in a place for the second half to try and play like we did in the first, but I thought West Ham were much better in the second half and it was difficult for us.
"We had to really dig in to win headers and challenges. But really and truly the first half was the platform for victory."
West Ham counterpart Sam Allardyce, however, had five clear concerns in his mind after the club's fourth loss in six matches.
"We have five defenders who are missing at the moment and one that should have been playing, this morning pulled out, so our back four today (Razvan Rat, James Collins, Roger Johnson and Matt Taylor) has never played together at all this season," he said.
"When you get continuous disruption in your back four you then don't get your solid unit, and sometimes that solid unit that you would like is difficult to keep when players are not used to playing with each other, and Newcastle's players exposed that particular weakness and scored two goals.
"It's very disappointing, when you've won at Cardiff, to not get anything here, and certainly from our point of view it was more about our defensive lapses rather than the quality of Newcastle's play to score both goals, I felt.
"We could have done better,"
The result left West Ham 18th in the Barclays Premier League standings, but only two wins away from mid-table - a target that Allardyce clearly has in his mind.
He said: "We've got 16 games to go. We know how many points we need in those 16 games to get safe in the Premier League and we've got to keep fighting on.
"I think there comes a time when the players have to realise it doesn't become about performances any more - it becomes about results more than anything.
"Whichever way you can get them, you've got to get them."

I'll take my coffee green, no cream, no sugar
Ethiopia, the single largest African coffee producer and the world's fifth largest, is commonly considered to be the birthplace of coffee. It's hardly a surprise that when you survey the landscape of Ethiopia's Oromia region, an area the size of Italy, it is bespeckled with native Coffea arabica farms.
In Ethiopia, . So it was quite fitting to focus on the country's smallholder coffee farmers in Oromia for a project to help promote climate-smart "green" practices.
This week, the World Bank Group's BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (ISFL) announced it was taking part in a project together with the Bank Group's private sector arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), along with the international coffee company, Nespresso and the non-profit, TechnoServe.

Dear Miss Snark,
I write suspense novels and would like feedback on a couple of books I've finished. I fear, however, that if I join a writers' critique group, my story concepts might be used by someone else looking for a good plot. The very uniqueness of a suspense plot is, in my opinion, what sells a suspense novel.
Why, one of your snarklings even 'fessed up to this by commenting that the Happy Hooker Crapometer gave her some good ideas! (They weren't mine; I was afraid to participate because of above reasoning, though I certainly would have loved your feedback.)
What to do?
First, you need to realize that while plot is important it's the writing. You don't have copyright on ideas, only execution (ie writing).
If I seriously thought there was going to be a problem posting people's work in the crapometer I wouldn't have done it. People get ideas from all sorts of things including previously published work (T. Jefferson Parker acknowledges a debt to Jon Lethem in a recent novel); art; music; and, their own families. It's what you DO with the idea that counts, ESPECIALLY in suspense novels.
I find the people most paranoid about other's stealing their work are the ones least likely to be stolen.
Screenplays are a different story, but you've said novel.

It seems that China, or at least part of it, has thrown down the gauntlet in the South China Sea with the announcement that police in the southern island province of Hainan will board and search ships which enter what China considers its territory in the disputed waters.
Before discussing the implications of the "revised regulations," it's helpful to know why China thinks it can commandeer the territory in the first place. In October James R. Holmes of NamViet News cited the book "How Communists Negotiate" to note that going into negotiations "Chinese communists try to rig the game in their favor" by trying to force the opposite side to agree to Beijing's bargaining positions as a condition for convening talks.
China's currently claims everything within the "nine-dashed line" - which takes in about 90 percent of the South China Sea - and now its law enforcement will act to defend it.
In August the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China stated: "China has indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands and adjacent waters. This is supported by clear historical facts."
(Note: A 2008 U.S. diplomatic cable published by WikiLeaks reported that a senior Chinese government maritime law expert "admitted" he was unaware of the historical basis for the nine dashes.)
China's stance makes diplomacy difficult since negotiation, as Holmes notes, "presupposes give-and-take between two parties. But indisputable means indisputable."
Consequently, the Hainan decree raises the stakes in the region's territorial disputes and creates immediate problems for other claimant countries as well as the world economy.
As James Fallows of the Atlantic points out, "Brunei is a very long way from mainland China, but China contends that its waters reach practically down to Brunei's shores."
He also notes that some of the affected shipping lanes "have nothing directly to do with mainland China" since export paths from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan pass through the waters on their way to the Indian Ocean while half the world's oil-cargo traffic from the Middle East travels the route in the opposite way.
Yesterday Dr. Ely Ratner, a Fellow at the Center for a New American Security, told BI that the situation is "an incredibly difficult problem" that will come down to how far China is willing to go in terms of getting out on the high seas and arresting fishermen and others who think they're within their rights to be in the disputed waters.
China will dictate how heated things get, but there's no doubt that the Red Dragon is aggressively staking out its position.
"It is easy to imagine things becoming dangerous, quickly, if the new Chinese administration actually tries to carry out this order," Fallows wrote. "A Chinese government deliberately courting this kind of showdown would be a very bad sign."

Why is your organization applying to participate in Google Summer of Code 2012? What do you hope to gain by participating?
The Clojure community has been growing at a healthy rate since the initial language announcement in 2007: the Clojure mailing list now has over 6000 subscribers, the freenode IRC channel sees greater than 400 participants, and there are three conferences scheduled this year dedicated to Clojure. All of this activity means many open source initiatives in the community that need help - these range from new platforms like ClojureCLR and ClojureScript to advanced creative authoring environments like Overtone. This coupled with evident interest from students on the mailing list has encouraged us to apply for GSoC 2012.
Does your organization have an application template you would like to see students use? If so, please provide it now
- Who are you (include links to Google Code, Github, Bitbucket, etc)? What are you studying?
- Which proposal are you interested in? What exactly do you intend to do? What will not be done?
- Why are you the right person for this task?
- To what extent are you familiar with the software you're proposing to work with? Have you used it? Have you read the source? Have you modified the source?
- How many hours are you going to work on this a week? 10? 20? 30? 40?
- Do you have other commitments that we should know about? If so, please suggest a way to compensate if it will take much time away from Summer of Code.
- Are you comfortable working independently under a supervisor or mentor who is several thousand miles away, not to mention 12 time zones away? How will you work with your mentor to track your work? Have you worked in this style before?
- If your native language is not English, are you comfortable working closely with a supervisor whose native language is English? What is your native language, as that may help us find a mentor who has the same native language?
- Where do you live, and can we assign a mentor who is local to you so you can meet in a coffee shop for lunch?
What criteria did you use to select your mentors for this year's program? Please be as specific as possible.
Mentors are generally leaders of existing Clojure community projects that have been involved in the development of the programming language more than three years. These community leaders have shown a dedication and level of involvement that is simple to verify.
What is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?
The most critical aspect is of course preventing such a scenario entirely. This needs to happen at the selection of the proposal, the selection of the mentor, and the selection of student. A proposal of proper scope, a dedicated mentor, and a student with a visible history of seeing projects to their end is critical to success. Also critical is observing their involvement in the community prior to the student selection process. Finally a proper interview is probably required in order to find out whether the mentor/student pairing is ideal and whether the student will be free of time conflicts during the GSoC time period to see their project to completion.
What is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors?
Most projects will have a backup mentor. Even so, the mentors are selected from the community precisely for their history of involvement in the community and the issues surrounding proposal.
What steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your project's community before, during and after the program?
It will be made clear that community involvement prior to selection will be strong factor for being considered for a proposal. We believe that open source contribution is not a summer time affair. Students should be talking with mentors from the start in order to develop the adequate understanding and material required to tackle the proposal. This may include but is not limited to showing familiarity with an API, submitting patches, and reading papers and discussing them with mentors. We believe that a well considered proposal/mentor/student combination reinforces student engagement during the GSoC period. Most of the proposal are significant enough that students should feel a sense of ownership about their accomplishment. At the same time the proposals are significant enough to the Clojure community that community members can provide support once the intensive GSoC period is done and the student must focus more time on academic responsibilities.
Are you a new organization who has a Googler or other organization to vouch for you? If so, please list their name(s) here.
We are a new organization - the following people vouch for us:

ReleasesBack to
Jimmy Smith
Unlike most of the Jimmy Smith recordings from the era, this CD reissue (which adds "If I Should Lose You" and "When Lights Are Low" to the original LP program) features organist Jimmy Smith's regular group (rather than an all-star band). With guitarist Quentin Warren and drummer Donald Bailey completing the trio, Smith is heard in peak form on swinging and soulful versions of such tunes as "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," "Makin' Whoopee," "Sonnymoon for Two," and "Mack the Knife." Despite claims and some strong challenges by others, there has never been a jazz organist on the level of Jimmy Smith. ~ Scott Yanow

Treasure Island Media's L.U.S.T. 3 –Lost Unreleased Sex Tapes 3, if you're nasty—includes more than two hours' worth of bareback fucking that fans have never seen before.
This isn't a compilation, but a whole new collection of scenes. It's subtitled the "What I Can't See" Edition, which means that you're getting lots of kinky, blindfolded sucking and fucking. The subtitle comes from the fact that half of the scenes originally were filmed for TIM's What I Can't See series, but they've never been released before. If you're unfamiliar with that series… well, first of all, you should also put those on your must-watch list after you're done with this movie, but secondly, it's a hot premise: bottoms get blindfolded and then submit their assholes to any top that happens to be in the room.
Damon Darko and a bunch of muscular men are throwing down in scene one. Tor Matthews, Mayer, Devlin Michaels, and Jerry Stearns subject Damon to face-fucking, ass-reaming action and keep him blindfolded. Do you think he could identify these cocks just by the way they feel? We really can't get enough of the close-up insertion.
Scene two is a nasty gangbang of epic proportions, in which Jaison Lawrence submits to the power of several throbbing cocks. Alexander Austin, Matias, Fred Mayer, Chase Roberts, and Jean XXX get Jaison into a sling and give the greedy dick pick an anal onslaught with their uncut French-Canadian cocks. Don't miss the four-man train!
Next, Aaron Scott, Damien, and Tor Matthews tear it up in a threeway. Aaron fantasized about being blindfolded and turned into a cum dump, so that's just what he gets. Director Paul Morris: making wet dreams come true.
Scene four is a gangbang and Will, a TIM Exclusive, is the lucky pig whose owner, Paul Morris, takes him to Chicago for a gangbang. He's an open hole and refuses no loads. The tops include Michael Christopher, Maverick Reynolds, Marc Hamilton, Ross X, Roman Pearce, Buck Fuddy, and Slick. Creamy!
Jerry Stearns, Jake Fillups, and Devlin Michaels have some fun with a blindfolded bottom named Chuck in scene five. The paddling and bondage are just part of the fun, and this scene is just as much about the psychological domination as it is physical. Chuck doesn't know what's next and that makes it even hotter.
In scene six, Ian Jay opens his hole to a dozen men in another all-loads-accepted Chicago scene like the one we saw with Will in scene four. All the tops are told to dump their loads in Ian's hole. The hung, hard tops include Maverick Reynolds, Ross X, James Roscoe, Roman Pearce, Thomas Steel, Butch Powell, and Steve Hunter. Will is back and he gets to be the fluffer and felcher. These guys totally lose themselves in gangbang ecstasy. It's a sea of cocks and cum, and you'll want to immerse yourself in it.
The grand finale, scene seven, features some erotic hypnotic suggestion. Eighteen-year-old Tommy Haine previously did hypnosis to help him lose his inhibitions (as seen in Bad Influence). Six months later, he couldn't wait to get blindfolded and fucked. The tops are Cole and four TIM Exclusives: Brad McGuire, Dan Fisk, Tommy Haine, and Derek Anthony.
L.U.S.T. 3 presents you with ample opportunities to lose yourself in sensory overload, even when the bottom can't see what's going on. Stream this TIM instant classic only on AEBN.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - The MIT women's basketball team fell to Wellesley College, 46-44, in NEWMAC action on Tuesday night. Karen Kinnaman finished with a game-high 13 rebounds and a team-best 12 points for the Engineers (3-16, 0-10 NEWMAC). Wellesley's Bridget Harris led all scorers with 14 points on 3-of-6 shooting from the floor and hitting 8-of-10 from the charity stripe. She also grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds.
Kimberly Eri Soo Hoo put MIT on the scoreboard with a bucket in the paint 2:32 into the opening frame. Harris tied the game on Wellesley's next possession. The Engineers regained the lead with a basket by Christa Margossian at 16:13. One minute later Sefi Adasi's free throws tied the game for the second time. Tech responded by going on a 10-0 run over the next six minutes, taking a 14-4 advantage. A pair of free throws from Harris ended Wellesley's scoring drought. Michal Ruchelsman answered with a three-pointer, giving MIT its largest lead of the half (17-6). Wellesley chipped away at the deficit, leaving Tech with a 22-15 advantage at halftime.
In the second stanza, MIT boosted its lead back to 11 points before Wellesley narrowed the margin to five (26-21) at 16:46. Baskets by Ruchelsman and Cherelle Walls gave the Engineers a nine-point cushion. Wellesley responded with a 14-2 run, taking its first lead (34-32) with 10:43 remaining. After two minutes of scoreless play, a free throw and a trey by Ruchelsman gave MIT a 36-34 advantage. Erin Johnson tied the game on Wellesley's next possession. A basket by Laura Weslander at 6:52 brought the lead back to Wellesley. Over a minute later, Kinnaman knotted the game at 38 with a pair of free throws. Alex Allukian capitalized on Wellesley's next possession by making a jumper for a 40-38 advantage. Kinnaman evened the game on MIT's next possession at 5:07.
The game remained scoreless during the next two minutes until Harris made the first of two free throws. A put-back by Walls followed by a free-throw from Sharon Prange gave the Engineers a two-point lead (43-41) with 2:23 left to play. Two free throws from Allukian tied the game for the seventh time at 2:02. With 19 seconds remaining, Wellesley's Adasi ended a defensive battle with a jumper in the paint while being fouled. She missed the free throw, leaving the door open for Tech. With 2.7 seconds remaining, Prange earned a trip to the charity stripe, making one-of-two, cutting the deficit to 45-44. Off the inbounds pass, MIT immediately fouled Weslander, sending her to the line where she sank the first of two shots, setting up the final score.
Michal Ruchelsman finished the night with nine points, five rebounds, and two steals. Sharon Prange tallied six points, six boards and three assists. Kimberly Eri Soo Hoo totaled a game-high four steals and dished out three assists.
Alex Allukian was the second member of Wellesley's (10-8, 5-5 NEWMAC) squad to reach double-figures, finishing with 13 points off the bench. Sefi Adasi registered eight points, seven boards, and three blocks.
The next game for MIT will be on Thursday, Feb. 10 at 8:00 p.m. when it travels to Rivier College.

That's... 55 I think, plus the rereads? Measly. And a ridiculous percentage of those are comics, which while I will continue to insist on their status as literature, do tend to be much quicker reads. Goal for 2011: read more, especially frontlist fiction/nonfiction, so as to be a better bookseller, and to dig deeper into the world of words.
Unlike some years past, I'm refreshed to find I don't feel the need for a soul-searching post about the bookstore project. Greenlight is a solid reality -- as I reflected with a bookseller friend, I'm in the happily ever after. Rebecca and I have plans for growing and making things better, so it's not about to get boring. But it's been a happy year, chronicled mostly elsewhere, and I'm contented to stick to the book talk on this site -- it's still true that "sometimes the best relief from the stresses of working in the book industry is the books themselves."
And now my request for your ideas: not for what to read next (I've already got teetering stacks on my nightstand that should take me through the next six months at least), but about how to keep track of reading. I'd like a better way to note what I'm reading now and write about it when I finish, and have it show up on the various book sites (GoodReads, Shelfari, etc.), and on this blog, and on Facebook/Twitter, etc. Does anyone have a good system, easy enough that you don't get bogged down? Is there an app that works (I do have an iPhone now!)? Does one of the sites push out to all the others? Or would I be better off with pencil and paper this year?
In any case, it was a good year in books, and 2011 promises old friends returning and new surprises awaiting. Thanks to all of you who read and talk about books -- a very happy new year, and happy reading!

What a wonderful problem, not to be able to keep track of all the books you read! The books I read are in a stack by the bed, so they're easy to track. But then, I'm a slow reader. :-)

I just stumbled on your blog by accident (found your spot-on review of Jennifer Egan) and am so excited by this list and by your recommendations. I am off to read the review of the bolded books of 2010, and then probably buy them! Thanks for such a great summary list.
Sadly I don't have a system for books - I put a list on my blog, but it's pretty clumsy and a bit insufficient (I can't explain the ones which are 'just for fun/my brain is tired and that's why I'm reading this' exceptions!)
Thanks again - great blog :)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, a very good book. I have read. In Hungary the title of the book is a bit different, but this does not last. It is rather thought-provoking to me. Our approach is to address that. Hungry for battle.

By ,
Published December 11, 2016
Last year's senate election showed one thing about the Latino vote in Nevada: It matters.
Latinos came out in full force to defeat senate candidate Sharron Angle, who had come under fire from Hispanic groups because of her hard line against immigration and TV commercials that portrayed Latinos negatively.
But the one Latino who could make a difference to the Republican presidential candidates campaigning in Nevada – popular Gov. Brian Sandoval – is staying out of the nomination fight despite his rising stature in the GOP. Or perhaps because of it.
Sandoval has invited the candidates to his office this week as they campaign ahead of Saturday's caucuses. If they make the trip to Carson City, the four — Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum — can count on a smile and a firm handshake but no public stamp of approval.
"There isn't a candidate that wouldn't love to have his support, that's for sure," said Bob List, state Republican committeeman and a former Nevada governor who endorsed Ronald Reagan in 1980.
Sandoval was quick to endorse Texas Gov. Rick Perry in this year's presidential race, only to see him drop out last month after dismal showings in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Now, Sandoval is pledging his "full support" to whomever wins the party nomination. And he has recorded an automated phone message urging Nevada Republicans to vote in the caucuses — for any of the candidates.
Is Sandoval politically savvy or once bitten, twice shy?
Maybe a little of both.
"There's a risk of getting behind another candidate," said Robert Uithoven, a GOP strategist. "He's doing the right thing in staying out of it at this point."
After backing a loser once, avoiding the primary fray now allows Sandoval to harness his popularity and unleash it when the party needs it most — leading into November and the defining election against President Barack Obama. To that end, he's focusing on being the state's top GOP cheerleader.
Sandoval is also resisting rallying behind Romney even though most of the Republican establishment in Nevada is backing the former Massachusetts governor. Romney mentioned Sandoval during a Florida debate last month as being at the top of his list of possible Hispanic Cabinet members if he wins the White House.
In office just a year, Sandoval was elected in 2010 in a Republican wave of statehouse victories across the nation and became Nevada's first Hispanic governor.
Celebrities Who Once Were Undocumented
A former state attorney general, Sandoval gave up a federal judgeship to run for governor. He beat the embattled incumbent, Jim Gibbons, in the primary by promising not to raise taxes, playing to the fledgling but vocal tea party in the state and emphasizing his conservative streak partly by endorsing a hardline immigration measure in nearby Arizona.
He courted fellow Hispanics in the general election and emphasized his low-taxes position, ending up defeating Rory Reid, the son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Over the past year, party leaders have grouped him with other Hispanic Republicans new to the national stage, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez among them, as the GOP looks to make inroads with a traditionally Democratic-leaning voting bloc.
The Republican National Committee has tapped Sandoval and others to campaign in battleground states this year as the party looks to win the White House.
Most governors in the early primary states have stayed neutral publicly in the GOP race. The exception was Sandoval — before Perry dropped out — and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who rallied behind Romney only to see him lose in her state to Gingrich.
None of the candidates has yet come to the state Capitol, likely because the governor has said he's not get-able. Gingrich asked to meet with Sandoval, but the former House speaker's campaign canceled Wednesday's meeting minutes after it was announced by the governor's office, citing a scheduling conflict.
Santorum called Sandoval on Thursday. According to a Sandoval aide, "The governor welcomed him to Nevada and thanked him for coming."
"No matter who the nominee is, Sandoval will have a seat at the table," said Sig Rogich, a GOP consultant who served as an adviser to several Republican presidents. "Everyone wants Sandoval, and I think that's a good position to be in."

The Muslim Brotherhood is claiming that its candidate won the country's presidential runoff election. The claim is entirely plausible.
However, the victory of its candidate may be of far less consequence than the Brotherhood had hoped. For, according to the Washington Post, Egypt's military leaders have just issued a constitutional decree that gives the armed forces sweeping powers and reduces (or "degrades," to use the Post's term) the presidency to a subservient role. Says the Post:
Under the order, the president will have no control over the military's budget or leadership and will not be authorized to declare war without the consent of the ruling generals. The document said the military would soon name a group of Egyptians to draft a new constitution, which will be subject to a public referendum within three months. Once a new charter is in place, a parliamentary election will be held to replace the Islamist-dominated lower house that was dissolved Thursday after the country's high court ruled that one-third of the chamber's members had been elected unlawfully.
The military's decree will no doubt produce much hand-wringing here in Washington. Indeed, on Saturday the Post's editorial board urged the Obama administration to make clear to the Egyptian military that if the democratic process is not respected and restored, its relations with the U.S. will be "ruptured."
I respect the Post's editorial board, particularly on issues relating to foreign policy and democracy promotion. But this recommendation seems foolhardy and dangerous. The Egyptian military is probably the only entity in Egypt with any heft that has the least bit of affinity for the U.S. And the entity that the Egyptian military has acted against – the Muslim Brotherhood – is a radically anti-American outfit.
If anything, moreover, the Muslim Brotherhood has less underlying respect for democracy than the military. Initially, it wanted nothing to do with democratic elections. For the Brotherhood, democracy is a means to an end. And that end is neither democratic nor palatable to the U.S. or Egypt. Meanwhile, the military appears to be struggling with how to balance the aspirations of the Arab Spring and the imperative of not seeing the country fly out of control and into radical hands.
The fact that the Brotherhood can win an election in Egypt's current, fractured political landscape is insufficient reason for the U.S. to demand that the Egyptian military sit by and watch it take power. Ayatollah Khomeini and his crew probably would have won a fair election in early days of post-revolutionary Iran. His ascent to power would have been no more acceptable had it occurred democratically.
This doesn't mean the U.S. should be indifferent to promoting democracy in Egypt. It can encourage the military to take steps to institute democracy that are consistent with stability and holding Islamist radicals at bay. But the U.S. won't have any influence if it "ruptures" relations with the military.
Nor will it have any important potential partner or ally in Egypt.

Via The Blog Of Hilarity, a fascinating tidbit from The New York Post: The cover of this month's Vanity Fair was not supposed to be Transformers "star" Shia Lebeouf. It was supposed to be the great Barbaro.
GRAYDON Carter doesn't believe in flogging a dead horse. The Vanity Fair editor-in-chief said neigh to the idea of putting Barbaro on the August cover. Instead, "Transformers" star Shia Labeouf got the nod. Sources say Barbaro - the 2006 Kentucky Derby winner who captured hearts after he shattered a hind leg in the Preakness and struggled for months to survive - actually market-tested higher than Labeouf. But Carter vetoed the equine cover. So Shia is featured, saving the actor from being beaten by a dead horse. A VF spokeswoman said, "We don't comment on covers."
Please, silly young movie star, you overly flatter yourself if you think you can even slightly compare to the international superstardom of Barbaro. You can act, actor, act, all you want ... but we're talking about immortality here.

AFTERMATH: Photos from storm that lashed region
A STORM with winds so powerful it flipped trampolines and knocked down trees struck Toowoomba and the Darling Downs yesterday afternoon.
The tempest was strong but brief and left houses without power in its wake.
Photographers around the region were quick to chronicle the event.
Melissa Heironymus posted a photo of her back yard in Westbrook.
A trampoline had been picked up and flipped by the storm's powerful winds.
"This just landed in our yard," she said.
It also brought down trees.
Tegan Oke photographed damage left by the storm in Glenvale.
The Bureau of Meteorology recorded 5.8mm of rain yesterday.
The aftermath of the storm also brought cold conditions, with the mercury plunging to 7.5 degrees overnight.
The apparent temperature was even colder at 3.9 degrees at 5am today.
There is fine weather predicted for most of this week, with rain set to return on Sunday and Monday.

Disclosure and HIV
February 8, 2018
Table of Contents
Preparing for Disclosure
Disclosure means telling someone that you are living with HIV (HIV+). Sharing your HIV status can help with the stresses of living with HIV. However, deciding whom to tell and how to tell them can be complicated and difficult.
There is no one best way to tell someone. Similarly, there is no sure way to know how those you tell will react or whom they may choose to tell. To prepare, it may help to ask yourself a few questions:
Consider where you want the disclosure to take place. It could be at home, at a friend's house, or in a health care setting so that support is readily available. The important thing is that you choose a place that is comfortable for you.
How Disclosure Affects You and Others
Disclosing your HIV status can be stressful. While you may receive love and support from some of the people you tell, others may not be as accepting. Try to find someone that can support you through this difficult process. If you have not told any family or close friends yet, turn to your health care provider, social worker, counselor, or AIDS service organization (ASO). To find the ASO closest to you in the US, click here. To find services worldwide, visit AIDSmap's e-atlas. If you would like to connect with other women in The Well Project community, visit our page on Getting Connected.
Disclosing your HIV status will also have an effect on the people you tell. People will react differently to the news. Your friends and family may immediately embrace you and accept your diagnosis. Others may react negatively or need some time to process what you have told them. They may be scared -- for you or for themselves -- and may need some information in addition to time to adjust.
Some people, especially sexual partners who may be afraid they have acquired HIV, may react with anger. If you feel threatened or unsafe, it is important that you get safe and stay safe. Call the National Domestic Violence hotline in the US at 800-799-SAFE and check our fact sheet about Violence Against Women and HIV.
Just like you, people you tell will need support. Try to leave them hotline numbers, brochures or books about HIV that they can look at later. Give them the addresses of websites that provide information (a good government site is at www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics). Also let them know who else is aware of your status, so that they can go to each other for support.
Who Needs to Know
You do not have to tell everyone that you are living with HIV. It may be important that you tell your current and past sexual partners and anyone with whom you have shared drug injection equipment. This way, they can be tested and seek medical attention if needed. If you are afraid or embarrassed to tell them yourself, the health department in your area can notify your sexual or needle-sharing partners without even using your name.
You also need to tell your health care providers to ensure you receive appropriate care. Your health care provider may ask questions to determine if you are at risk for other diseases, such as hepatitis C or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs or STDs).
Disclosure and Relationships
Sharing your HIV status ought to be a personal choice in every case. However, in the case of sexual relationships, it can be a legal requirement. Whether or not your partner becomes HIV+, and whether or not prevention methods were used or the person living with HIV meant any harm, they may face criminal charges if a partner accuses them of not disclosing their HIV status in a sexual relationship.
Most states in the US have laws requiring that you disclose your HIV status before knowingly exposing or transmitting HIV to someone else. Penalties vary from state to state. In many states, you can be found guilty of a felony if a sexual partner brings charges against you for not telling them that you are living with HIV before having intimate contact.
These laws are unfair for many reasons. For one thing, it is difficult to prove disclosure, and many people living with HIV, particularly women, have been taken to court by partners who claim they did not disclose when they say they did. For another, a person may have had no intent to do harm, and yet the punishment a person must endure if convicted is virtually always much worse than the harm done to the complainant (person bringing the charges).
But nevertheless, the laws exist. To find information about disclosing in your state, look at this map provided by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). To learn how to protect yourself in case you are charged with HIV nondisclosure, read this pamphlet from the Sero Project. UNAIDS reports that over 60 countries have laws that penalize people living with HIV who engage in sex without disclosing their status. Outside the US, click on this link to AIDSmap's list to find information for your country's laws about disclosure.
Serious Relationship
If you are in a serious relationship, telling your partner is one of the first things you will probably think about. Many turn to their partners for comfort and support. However, some people worry that they will lose their partner's love when they disclose. It is normal to feel nervous, embarrassed, or even fearful of your partner's reaction.
Since you and your partner most likely have a sexual relationship, it is important to practice safer sex. If you have already had sex without condoms or treatment-as-prevention methods, you may need to let them know that they may have been exposed to HIV and should get tested. Keep in mind, and feel free to share with your partner, that after many years of research and evidence we now know that a person living with HIV who is taking HIV drugs and is virally suppressed (has an undetectable viral load) is unable to transmit HIV to a sexual partner. For much more information on this exciting development, see our Undetectable Equals Untransmittable fact sheet.
Disclosing your HIV status can put a strain on the best of relationships. It is important for you to think about when and how to disclose. However, keeping the information to yourself for too long is probably not a good idea. If you find it difficult to decide when and how to tell your partner, it may be helpful to get some professional counseling.
It is important to recognize that some partners react to HIV disclosure with anger and even violence. If you are worried that your partner may become violent, try the following to reduce the risk of violence:
Women who are dating have to face the question of disclosure with each new relationship. Some women prefer to get the issue out into the open immediately. Others prefer to wait and see if the relationship is going to develop beyond casual dating.
Although many people know about safer sex and how HIV is transmitted, fear and stigma are still a reality. Your HIV status will prevent some from wanting to see you, while others will not be put off by the information.

You can usually determine someone's emotional state just by looking into that person's eyes. You can see if he or she is happy, sad, angry or tired by looking at the expression in the eyes. In some cultures, the eyes are believed to hold mystic powers, which can deliver misfortune to whomever the gaze is directed to.

Editor's note: R.N. Hopper raises cotton, grain, cattle and various other crops near Petersburg, Texas. The following is a response he and his neighbor developed to counter negative claims in a recent social media post. We thought the essay more than worthy of sharing with Farm Press readers.
I am writing in response to the negative comments written about biotechnology in agriculture. Randy McGee, a close friend and neighbor, came by recently and showed me his Facebook page in an attempt to get me to participate in social media. Our farm is about 25 miles from his, but around here, there are so few young farm families, this proximity still constitutes a neighbor.
I do not have a Facebook account, something I intend to remedy, so Randy was kind enough to allow me to post on his. My name is R. N. Hopper. I am a 33-year old agricultural producer who grows white food corn, cotton, wheat, grain sorghum, black-eyed peas, and stocker cattle. I live and work on the farm with my wife and three children.
This year has been the most difficult of my career because of the most severe drought in the last 100 years of recorded history. Not only have we had just two inches of rainfall in the last 12 months, but we have also set new records for heat and average wind speed. Our irrigation and production systems are not designed to operate in these unprecedented conditions.
Of all of the natural disasters that can hurt our crops, drought is by far the most painful. While harsh storms or plagues of insects can sometimes bring immediate destruction, drought is like death from a thousand cuts. Each new day brings hope of rain and each new night brings disappointment as we struggle with Mother Nature and watch our crops suffer.
Adversity is nothing new for a farm family. This struggle against nature has been our story since the fall of man, recorded in Genesis: "cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. – Gen 3:17-19.
But just as our merciful God made Adam and Eve coats of skins and clothing before he sent them out of the garden, He has not left us alone to fend for ourselves against Mother Nature. He has clothed us with the ability to learn from our mistakes, to develop better production practices, to use the scientific knowledge to better utilize our given resources, and to employ technology.
Fundamental misunderstanding
The fundamental misunderstanding of the plight of agricultural producers stems from the idea that farming is, or should be, natural. Farming is not natural. It is in fact, as earlier alluded, a struggle against nature. This is why the amount of production for any given crop is referred to as "yield"—what nature has allowed the grower. It is not taken from Mother Nature by force, but rather nature has capitulated, as a loving parent would to an ardently petitioning child.
It may surprise you that I say farming is unnatural, but I assure you that you will never see a population of 32,000 corn plants per acre in nature. When you attempt such trying to attain a high yield, many problems arise. These "unnatural" populations open the door to attacks from insects and disease, problems that must be managed.
Something else you will never see in nature is a lone stalk of corn. Corn plants have no mechanisms of seed dispersal. Consequently, if an ear of corn falls to the ground, the seeds will germinate and die from the intense competition. If it were not for the care of farmers and domesticated agriculture, corn, as we know it, would have disappeared from the Earth.
Management required for successful agriculture is no less necessary than the management required to sustain the 8.3 million people in the city of New York. Such a population on such a small area opens the door to many problems. A lot of food and other resources must be brought in, and a lot of waste must be carried out. An army of public servants must serve the needs of sanitation, law enforcement, and maintenance.
Yet you choose to cry against my family and me because we are a smaller and less powerful target. You use the technology of social media to have a voice against farmers, but would deny us the technology to safely and affordably feed you. I have read your claims against biotechnology and find them to be full of falsehoods and half-truths perpetuated by uninformed fear mongers.
Multiple inaccuracies
The Mercola website that reported the story of the 1,000 acres of corn being destroyed is among the worst inaccuracies. On that site I read a story about buffalo eating GMO cottonseed and becoming sterile. This might be funny if it were not so tragic in its ignorance. It is not the transgenes that cause the buffalo's sterility, but rather the gossypol, a toxic pigment found in all cotton seed—which can only be detoxified by heating during processing—that causes temporary sterility in adult bulls and permanent sterility in adolescent males. In fact, the Chinese male birth control pill, also used in Brazil, is based on gossypol.
The food supply provided to you, by American farmers and ranchers, is the safest and most affordable in the world. The World Health Organization states on their website: "The GM products that are currently on the international market have all passed risk assessments conducted by national authorities. These different assessments in general follow the same basic principles, including an assessment of environmental and human health risk. These assessments are thorough, they have not indicated ANY risk to human health."
U.S. farmers grow 40 percent of the world's corn and 10 percent of the world's wheat. The genes selected to protect and enhance these crops are chosen with great care. I remember one of the first genes to control worms in corn was the StarLink (Cry9C) protein developed by Aventis. StarLink was a very long and complex protein structure. Most allergens are also long and complex proteins. There was never a single person identified who showed an allergic reaction to StarLink, but since it was a long protein, and it is impossible to prove that something is not an allergen with a world population of six billion, it became guilty by association.
The EPA did, however, allow StarLink to be fed to animals. This was a terrible mistake to allow StarLink for animal and not human consumption because we do not have the infrastructure necessary in our grain handling facilities to segregate the grain consumed by animals and humans. It was only a matter of time before the StarLink corn found its way into the food supply in the form of taco shells. There was never one instance where a person was hurt by the StarLink protein, but its uncleared presence in the food supply caused it to be quickly taken from the market in 2000.
The mill where I deliver our corn continued to test for StarLink until 2009, when it was clear that it had been completely purged. The genes that followed StarLink, such as Dow AgroSciences' Herculex (Cry1F), were extensively tested to the point they were cleared for both humans and animals. Never again will one be cleared and the other not.
Rumor and fear
The StarLink scare was perpetuated by rumor and fear and not science or substance. However, StarLink was removed from the market out of genuine concern and an abundance of caution. It was no different than the Alar scare in apples, circa 1989, when CBS' 60 Minutes reported that "the most potent cancer-causing agent in our food supply is a substance sprayed on apples to keep them on the trees longer and make them look better. That's the conclusion of a number of scientific experts, and who is at risk? Children who may someday develop cancer."
That report started a panic almost overnight and soon the story was picked up by Phil Donahue, The Today Show, CNN, Women's Day, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, to name a few. Even actress Meryl Streep joined the fray with her founding of Mothers and Others for Pesticide Limits.
The mass hysteria that ensued led to mothers dumping all their apple products. Apples were removed from school lunches and rotted on grocery store shelves. The market for apples and apple products fell so quickly that 20,000 apple farmers suffered and many of them ended up in bankruptcy. Then, because the Consumer Group Citizen Alliance decided they hadn't cheated enough farmers out of their livelihoods, they claimed Alar was being used on grapefruit, even though Alar was never used on citrus. Tons of grapefruit headed to South Korea and elsewhere were left to rot on the dock as export shipments were reduced by 90 percent.
The Alar scare was nothing more than a scandalous, deliberately misleading fund raising campaign led by the Natural Resources Defense Council, a self-appointed environmental activist group. Alar had been used since 1966 by some growers to help prevent early drop; thus extending the harvest season, shelf life, and even the nutritional value of the apples. The amount of Alar fed to the lab mice by NRDC would have been the equivalent of an average adult eating 28,000 pounds of Alar-treated apples every year for 70 years.
This is not to say that it was the Alar residue rather than an impossible overdose of a natural compound in the apples causing the cancer in the mice. NRDC petitioned the EPA to reconsider the Alar label and a "special review" panel considered this petition. The Scientific Advisory Panel for the EPA concluded NRDC's evidence was flawed and rejected it on its baseless and ridiculous nature. This matter was decided three weeks before CBS aired the Alar story. What a waste. What a tragedy for all of my brother farmers and their families.
Safe food
The primary goal in my life and the purpose of my existence is to provide as much food for as many people for as little expense as my talents and resources will allow. You want nothing different from what I want - safe food and a productive future for my children.
Randy invited one of you to visit his farm. His invitation was thrown back in his face and that person also attacked him and insulted his intelligence. I will once again extend the same invitation. I plead with each of you to re-examine your beliefs about biotechnology. It is humanity's single greatest hope for the future. In years to come, I believe that this will be borne out by history.
These environmental extremist organizations are nothing more than terrorists. My family doesn't have to worry about jets flying into our sparsely populated town, but we are terrorized by our own American brothers and sisters - by you - who are entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts.
In any event, I shall continue to strive to be the best steward of the great blessings my Creator has given me charge over as long as I live. I have only one request: Please stop hurting my family. It seems too simple a request, but regretfully, I don't know how else to ask. May God bless you. May he bless us all.

How to Use the Images Painting 1
Painting 1
Capitalizing on the water source, an entrepreneur named Harry Beale opened a public resort at the ranch. The ranch became an unofficial park for the town, offering tent cabins for tourists and a primitive swimming pool.
Questions for Photo 3
1. What time period do you think this photo represents? If needed refer to Reading 2 and Drawing 1.
2. Why do you think a pool was such an attraction? How was the pool created? If needed, refer to Reading 2. Where is it in relation to the fort? If needed, refer to Drawing 1.

A 20-year-old Floridian, who goes by the moniker "pot princess" on her Twitter description, tweeted "2 drunk 2 care" before allegedly causing a deadly car accident that killed two women in the other car, reports the Miami New Times.
Gary Catronio, father of one of the deceased, was concerned when his daughter missed her 2 am curfew without communicating with him. The crash occurred at 1:45 am. Using the phone tracking app linked to her phone, Catronio saw that his daughter was stopped on the Expressway at 2:11 am. Shortly thereafter he and other family members drove to the deadly scene, which was already surrounded by police.
Kayla Mendoza, who caused the crash, tweeted these messages the day of the accident. Her Twitter account uses a different spelling of her name:
Miami New Times reports Mendoza was taken to the hospital after the crash and is in serious condition. She reportedly hasn't been charged.
The Miami New Times reports that Mendoza's family is claiming that their daughter's Twitter was hacked prior to the crash and, thus, most if not all of her 5,000 tweets were planted. "We can't say who is hacking her account, but if I knew her password I would shut it down," cousin Luis Massey said.
Mendoza is in stable condition but the extent of her injuries are still unknown.

Debug Board v1
From Openmoko
Hardware Components
- RTL8019AS Ethernet MAC
- This adds network connectivity during development
- Two 7-segment LED displays
- for debug output
- Two DB-9 headers
- Serial Console (level-shifted to true RS232 levels)
- ?
- One DB-25 header
- ?
- One 2x10pin 2.54mm header
- JTAG Port
Usage instructions
Debug cable to phone
Use the flat ribbon-cable to connect to the phone.
- The wide end is for the Debug board, the narrow end for the phone
- For both sides:
- Lift the brown lever of the connector on the PCB
- Place the copper contacts on the bottom (brown surface facing to the top.
- Insert the ribbon cable as far as possible into the connector (it won't go in all the way, that's normal)
- Close the brown lever to lock the ribbon cable
There's a Connecting GTA01Bv2 with Debug Board foto story ;)
Serial Console
- In order to get serial console access, Switch 8 of DIP-Switch SW1 has to be set to 'ON'
- Your debug board needs to be modified in accordance with http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3
- The serial console is available via one of the two DB9-sockets, It has a DTE (terminal) configuration.
- The socket is called "P4", which is written in small white letters next to it on the PCB. If you're looking at the three female DB-Ports (from the plug side), it is the left port.
- You can use any standard USB-Serial converter and plug it directly onto the DB9-socket. There's no level-shifting required.
- The 20pin JTAG header is a standard ARM JTAG.
- Pin 1 can be found next to the corner of the PCB (small white circular mark printed on PCB).
- Make sure to have the red wire of the ribbon cable go to Pin 1
Power Suppply
- If the phone is self-powered, there is no need to connect a power supply for JTAG, USB and serial port, since those are phone-powered
- If you need Ethernet, you will have to either supply power via the USB device jack, or via a +5V power supply.
S5 (small white button in corner of PCB) is a reset button. If you press it, it resets the device.
Seven-Segment Display
There currently is no software/driver support for the Ethernet port in OpenMoko. Please stay tuned.
Secure Media
- Can it also be connected to GTA01v4 ?
see http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Debug+Board

i think we should have a farmer's wife scrap swap. I have TONS of green, literally every shade. What I'm needing (and not finding)is aqua blue and orange scraps/strips. Seriously, maybe i'll post it on the group. hmmmm.ReplyDelete
You may have struggled to come up with these but you came up with three winners when you did make them. Love the one with orange in it. It is beautiful.ReplyDelete
I love green too - you need more green in your life! Especially zingy lime colours! Your blocks are lovely and you have the makings of an I-spy FWQ with all your little fussy cut centres!ReplyDelete
I love the fabrics you used for the blocks. They are wonderfull. thanks for sharing! And You forgive my rudimentary English.ReplyDelete
Green is hard. I just bought some green fat quarters to integrate into my blocks.ReplyDelete
Those little kids are just too cute!ReplyDelete
Oh my, the little folks are so cute I can't stand it! Who's the designer? I work at a modern fabric shop and haven't seen those!!ReplyDelete
I adore your leaf block. And the 'gnomes' are just way to cute!ReplyDelete

My favorite part of this story was when the bat almost bit the mom. This reminds me of when a fruit bat hurt its wing because it hit into the window at my house. I had a friend over and we ran outside to see what it was. I also like this book because it talks about how to take care of bats. (Cameron S.)
I think this book is a good book because it taught me about these really cool creatures called bats. I liked this book because it has a lot of pictures of bats and I like bats. The color illustrations are really cool. I really like the drawing of when the bat flew into the bedroom. (Sean D.)
We recommend this book to children of all ages who might like to learn more about these interesting creatures - bats.
