While it may seem like a luxury, you will soon find that having power reclining furniture and its customized position capability is a necessity for your home. Customized motion means that you can stop the recliner seat and back with simultaneous movement at whatever position best suits you, whether you need to soothe back pain or sit up and eat a snack while you watch TV. Gentle, power motion is suitable for all levels of mobility, and is as easy to use as a single touch.
Thanks to a nifty counter-balanced linkage system, you can stop your reclining chair or sofa back at any and every angle. It's truly the best option for customizing your comfort to your body, this feature is available on both manual and power recliners.
Don't be fooled by the technical jargon- Blue Steel and Dualflex springs are the real deal. The manufacturer's innovative, time-tested Blue Steel springs and the updated Dualflex system are made of heavy-duty materials and never need retying or replacing. If you don't believe it, the spring system can be replaced by the manufacturer at any time thanks to a lifetime warranty.
Recycled NuvoLeather™ leathers are colored and processed to have the best look and feel. With a lower percentage of actual leather, NuvoLeather is technically a performance fabric, which means it has the weight and durability of leather with a cleanable surface that's ideal for active families with small children or pets.
Unlike recliners that are built with a two- or three-piece seat and leg rest cushion, this recliner has a single chaise cushion that extends from the seat to the feet. This style offers a fuller comfort and support for your legs, as well as eliminating the open gap that toddlers can get fingers or toys stuck in.

Is democracy a luxury good in America, discarded when the going gets rough?
Apparently Michigan's Gov. Rick Snyder thinks so.
In Michigan, Detroit and other cities have hit the wall. The Great Recession has devastated city finances. Everyone agrees tough steps are needed.
Snyder's response is what Canadian author and social activist Naomi Klein calls economic "shock doctrine." Use the crisis to force-feed an unpopular far-right agenda: privatizing basic services; selling off public parks and assets for private gain; breaking labor contracts; laying off teachers, cops and other vital service providers.
Meanwhile, the governor calls for cutting taxes for corporations, and his Republican colleagues in the House slash federal support for states and localities, intensifying the pressure.
Citizens oppose this, so democracy itself must be trashed — particularly in majority minority cities. In Benton Harbor and Pontiac, the governor has invoked Public Act 4 and appointed emergency managers with extraordinary powers. The emergency managers can break all city contracts; abolish all city offices; sell off the public's assets; pass and revoke laws, all without consultation or approval of the citizens' elected representatives.
In Detroit, Snyder has said, "Let's have it so the city can keep running the city." But his formulation of that doesn't include the elected City Council members. Rather than invoking the economic martial law of Public Act 4, the governor has offered Detroit a "consent agreement."
Instead of an emergency manager, the governor's draft would create a nine-person "Financial Advisory Board" with similarly unlimited budgetary and economic development powers. The mayor and City Council would name three board members; the governor would pick the rest.
Not surprisingly, the document has received a skeptical response from elected officials. U.S. Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) said he objects because the proposed agreement "essentially asks the city to forfeit its citizens' rights in exchange for no tangible benefit."
The governor offers no new assistance from the state. While city workers face another blow, corporate vultures are circling, salivating at the possibilities of gentrifying public parks or profiting from privatized services.
But Detroit didn't cause the housing bubble or the Great Recession. It is bizarre that Wall Street's excesses cause the mess and then the bill is sent to the victims.
Moreover, Snyder and other Republican governors are competing to lower taxes on corporations and the wealthy, even as they savage services for working and poor families and sell off public assets. The result will starve vital investments — in infrastructure, in schools and children, in health care and worker training. This is a road to impoverishment.
What's needed instead is more democracy. Federal aid should be increased to cities and states to avoid layoffs. A regional development plan should be put together by federal, state and local officials.
In the city, community meetings are needed to discuss diffi-cult choices. The mayor and the City Council should insist that the city's creditors share in the sacrifice. Union workers have made significant concessions; they must not be trampled. It simply isn't right to claim that contracts with banks and creditors are sacrosanct, while those with workers can be discarded.
The financial elites who caused the mess should not be given dictatorial powers to clean it up.
And democracy isn't a luxury; it is a fundamental right.

Michael Barone asks whether the United States will become more or less like continental Europe. Considering how poorly Europe is faring economically (10 percent unemployment; minimal job creation in the past 25 years) and socially (e.g., low reproduction rates; rioting in France) it is hard to imagine how we could elect to move in the European direction. However, as Barone points out, that's where one of our two political parties wants to take us. Leading Democratic politicians like John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, whose politican consciousness was formed around the idea that, compared to Europe, the U.S. is an unjust society are part of the problem. Another factor is the party's more pragmatic (but not unrelated) interest in having the federal government absorb high percentages of gross domestic product, retrict labor markets, and control key sectors of the economy such as health care. In short, aging politicians and special interest groups cause Democrats to pursue an agenda that history tells us is most unlikely to work.
The party's best hope, and probably a realistic one, is that the next generation of leaders (those who know not the "60s") will be less enamored with Europe, and more inclined to chase voters whose interests are not tied to government expansion.

Yesterday, I lost my father and a best friend and the world got a little grayer
Robin Williams kids pay tribute to their late father
Robin Williams' three children, Zak, Zelda and Cody, are in great pain after their father's shocking death. The actor committed suicide at the age of 63.
Following his death, his kids released emotional statements.
"Yesterday, I lost my father and a best friend and the world got a little grayer. I will carry his heart with me every day. I would ask those that loved him to remember him by being as gentle, kind, and generous as he would be. Seek to bring joy to the world as he sought," Zak Williams, 31, wrote.
"My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that's gone, and I feel stripped bare. My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments. While I'll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there's minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn't help the pain, but at least it's a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that. To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you've had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too… Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I've ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We'll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again," Zelda Williams, 25, wrote.
"There are no words strong enough to describe the love and respect I have for my father. The world will never be the same without him. I will miss him and take him with me everywhere I go for the rest of my life, and will look forward, forever, to the moment when I get to see him again," Cody Williams, 22, wrote.

""Pigeon fancier" just means someone who owns gay pigeons."
A pigeon is a mammal commonly eaten in the form of porkeon. Pigeons are closely related to sea-gulls; they both live in cities, eat garbage and crap all over your car. Pigeons are part of the family of mammals that either have or do not have nuts, like squirrels. The characteristic sound that the pigeon makes is like oink, oink, oink, for which reason many pigeons have traditionally been locked up in clinics, for it was considered inconceivable that normal people would make oink-like noises like that. Pigeons have also been known to be evil little buggers and should all be destroyed whenever you see them. There are already many agents working for PHLB or Pigeons are Horrible Little Buggers. Many are disguised as elderly folk feeding pigeons but they are actually secret agents throwing out little cyanide-covered peanuts. If you ever see a pigeon please run to the nearest pile of crap and tell him that there is a code 1062 in progress. Pigeons are related to hitler as they have moustaches. You can hire pigeostitues.
Sigmund Freud reported that the oink-like sounds that the pigeon produces have deeper psychological motivations that are mostly related to procreation.
Venice used to be full of pigeons until the PHLB headquarters was centered there yesterday. The Pigeon's favorite food is flaming hot cheetos. There is a half-cat-half-pigeon. It has a cat head with wings and pigeon feet. It is likely to scratch people on sight. We have already lost millions of Secret PHLB Agents to its demonic powers. Its real name is unpronouncable in any human language, but it is commonly known as Bkdoknghimersonman Phaleone. It is constantly watching for secret agents to poop on at the park with its acidic poo of doom.
A 'Dove' is your typical ex-mormon bisexual college roommate with red hair and cute glasses. She will let you write funny words and silly face on her with a permanent marker. She will encourage you to paint on her naked body in the backyard as the Landlord wanders in ever so "innocently". If she's having a good day she will walk around shirtless. If she's having a great day she will chill out pantless. If she is have a spectacular day she will wear a sarong...and nothing else. If she having a lazy day she will wear her blanket.. and nothing else. *WARNING*: She appears innocent and sweet, but she has a dark and sexy side that is well reflected by her obsession with the dark and mystical creatures of the deep blue.. the Jellyfish. Approach her with *Caution* before you know it, you've got the best roomie a girl could have in Hilo, HI.
The Good, the Bad and the HungryEdit
Pigeons - the closest known relation to the Pokemon Charizard - have been known to have a long and vicious history, with the actual name pigeon originating from the german verb 'to rape'. They prey solely on hymaffroditez, as was best illustrated in the Good Friday massacre of February 2010 in the small surburban town of New York, Mexico. Scientists constantly warn the public to avoid eye contact with pigeons at all costs, as their vision is as powerful as a bassiliscks, and several recently published studies now also show that pigeons worked for the Russians throughout the Cold War. However, pigeons are not all that bad, sometimes they prey on the evil people of this world such as neo-Nazis and Australians. When all is said and done, Pigeons are bad but Australians are worse.
Cycle of LifeEdit
The pigeon cycle of life is still a secret to mankind, although various different theories try to explain it. The most common is the "Spin and Burn" theory, named after the initial and final rituals of the pigeon's life. by Alex Cameron and az
- Reproduction
The pigeon mating ritual, according to the "Spin and Burn" theory, is indeed a very curious one. A full grown up male pigeon is able to receive high-frequency electromagnetic waves that the grown up female pigeon sends through its left leg. When the male pigeon comes within approx. 10 inches of its partner, the electromagnetic waves start to fuzz its brain and it can do nothing but spin around its axis, making a strange, low-frequency noise. The intense rotation creates a vacuum around it, sucking the female pigeon close.
Fifteen seconds after this process, the female pigeon lays an egg. Ten seconds later, a new pigeon emerges from the egg. The newborn will need 90 seconds to achieve a fully grown up pigeon size and weight. They reproduce a lot so they are known as over populated motherfuckers.
- Pigeon Life
The pigeon's life comprises four different actions: eating, escaping, mating, and conspiring. The initial stage is the Eating stage, during which the pigeon tries to eat anything that lies in the ground. This stage moves to Escaping as soon as the pigeon notices any moving creature bigger than itself within a five meter radius. Occasionally, it enters the Mating stage, when its left leg starts emitting electromagnetic waves (female case) or is attracted by other pigeon's waves (male case).
The Conspiring stage is shrouded in secrecy, but it's commonly accepted that a pigeon starts conspiring against mankind as soon as its fat weight is equal as 2/3 of its total weight. In this stage, it starts to control people's minds, making them rob, rape, kill, and often feed pigeons. However greed sometimes over-comes them and they get ran over by vehicles because they're too fat to escape. While experts are still researching the subject and have not yet officially accepted the theory, many people are convinced that pigeons able to change into human shape.
- Death
The end of a pigeon's life is anticlimactic yet somehow rewarding. During its final moments, pigeons use their accumulated fat to start a reverse-osmosis spontaneous reaction which ultimately leads to a gravity defying spontaneous combustion rocket launch. The reasons for the bizarre death ritual of pigeons is highly disputed amongst world-renown scientists and lab mice alike.
Pigeons that are fat are known are "White Russians". Skinny pigeons are commonly referred to as "Stubborn Drunks Polish Birds". Pigeons who post ridiculous comments on random websites about pigeons, in general, are commonly referred to as "Ignorant European Pigeons". They should really learn how to spell and perhaps a refresher course in proper English Grammar would be extremely helpful as well. Smart Pigeons are commonly referred to as "Aussie Birds".
Mind controlEdit
It is thought that pigeons practice telepathy and have powers of telekinesis. They just haven't shown us yet. Of course, they do show signs of some form of psychic ability, seen when they stand in the middle of a road and stare into the driver's eyes until they drive off the road and into a local volcano or toxic crocodile/sharks with laser beams on their heads pit. Another sign of their mind control, if you noticed, is that upon watching a pigeon (usually two) run around that the tune from the Benny Hill show seems to find its way into your head. They want you to humm it! Those mind-reading bastards!
Kinds of pigeonsEdit
- Passenger pigeons are extinct flightless pigeons that relied on other pigeons for piloting.
- Carrier pigeons, pigeons who carry radio frequencies and were also used by Passenger Pigeons for flight.
- Rock Pigeons, pigeons who enjoy rock music.
- Homing pigeons, domesticated Rock Pigeons used as homing missiles.
- Forest Pigeon a smaller, mostly flightless relative of the pigeon, known its large tail, tree-climbing behaviors, and tasty (though somewhat gamey) meat. Particularly hazardous, since they are not immediately recognized as pigeons by some.
- Ugandan Pigeon, a fat pigeon that's as big as a chicken. They can be found in Bank Vaults in Uganda, where they guard the monies.
- Dove Pigeon- a type of pigeon which takes on a cunning dove disguise, and then using their powers of infiltration they destroy dove communities from within. Dove Pigeons are responsible for destroying all South American, New Zealand, Thailandish, Chinese, Antarctican and Moscow doves. If you encounter a dove in one of these places, shoot it as it is actually a pigeon.

Wondering Why the New Macbook Pro's Seem to Offer Less Battery Life?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Apple Laptops" @ 02:00 PM
"Now that the news about the new MacBook Pros is out there, one thing that may disappoint someone just reading the spec sheet is battery life. Across the board, the Pro is now rated at 7 hours. While still very solid, this is actually a step down from the previous versions which were rated at 8 to 9 hours for the 15 and 17-inch models, and 10 hours for the 13-inch model. So what gives?"
When I was looking at the battery life on the new Macbook Pros, I noticed something curious: they're all listed as "up to 7 hours". I couldn't recall what the exact battery life specs were for the previous Macbook Pros, but I knew it varied from model to model. As the above text shows, Apple had quoted the battery life on previous Macbooks from 8 to 10 hours. Sandy Bridge processors are supposed to be even more power-friendly than the first-gen Core series processors. So what gives? Read more...

The story came to me as an image of a man standing on a ridge looking down on a small town. It triggered the question, why is he there? I wrote the first chapter in the mid-1990s. At that time, I didn't have a clue what I was doing. (Some might say I still don't). I dabbled in it more than I actually wrote. I estimate I wrote the first chapter fifteen times before getting serious about writing approximately six or seven years ago. When you're a procrastinating perfectionist like me, dabbling is about as deep as I could go.
Then in 2002, I had a significant experience. I went in for heart surgery and received, for no extra charge, a double dose of complications on the side which nearly sent me to heaven. I didn't have an out-of-body experience, probably because I was too medicated to realize it. When they finally moved me from ICU to a regular floor, the ICU nurse referred to me as their "miracle patient." I am blessed with a praying wife, Linda, who wouldn't quit and who wouldn't let me quit either.
In late 2005, I found an ad for Christian Writers Guild in a magazine. If I was going to be serious about writing, I needed to do something significant, make a meaningful commitment of my time, open myself up to criticism. Over the next five years, I completed CWG's Apprentice, Journeyman, and Craftsman courses.
In 2006, I attended my first writers' conference, North Texas Christian Writers, near my home. I began attending a local writer's group and opening myself to be critiqued.
The Father has blessed me in this experience by helping me to receive criticism without personalizing it, to develop a thick skin as Jerry Jenkins calls it. This is in itself another miracle.
2009 was the breakthrough year for me in many ways. I focused on rewriting my novel. I attended two fiction mentoring clinics with DiAnn Mills. I attended the Writing for the Soul conference, the North Texas Christian Writers conference, the ACFW conference and the Ridgecrest Writers Retreat. I was exposed to and inspired by excellent faculty who had a profound influence on me. People like Brandilyn Collins, Steven James, Angela Hunt, Doc Hensley, Mary DeMuth and many others. I dug into my local and on line critique groups.
Under the Lord's direction, I entered my novel into a contest sponsored by the Christian Writers Guild and Tyndale House.
In early November,2009, I was informed I was one of 10 semifinalists for the award. Later in November, they announced the four finalists. I wasn't among them but I was humbled and honored to make the semifinals.
In February 2010, I attended the writers conference sponsored by the Christian Writers Guild. On the first night, Jerry B. Jenkins started to announce the contest winner but first said a mistake was made: There were actually five finalists for the award, not four, and read my name. While I was still absorbing that information, he announced my book as the winner. The prize: $20,000 and a publishing contract with Tyndale House. God's favor and grace opened the door for this to happen. My part was to obey His call to the best of my ability. God is faithful and blesses and rewards when we are faithful to His plan.
Once the contract was signed, we began the editing process. I worked with Tyndale staff under the leadership of Stephanie Broene and a free lance editor, Anne Christian Buchanan, Tyndale assigned to the project. The editing process was intense but it was a pleasure to work with professionals dedicated to having the book be the best it could be. The process was a learning experience in meeting deadlines, working as a team, and burying ego. I know it helped me develop as a professional writer and gave me lessons I will carry with me as I pursue this career.

Alison Sudol finds comfort in the woods. The singer-songwriter and leader of the band A Fine Frenzy grew up mostly in Los Angeles and Burbank, and even there she's often found herself gravitating toward a convenient corner of nature. On a recent afternoon, it was a picnic table along the pathways of Griffith Park, where she noticed something moving under a tree.
"What is that? Is that a squirrel?" Sudol, 27, said affectionately, peering into the shadows. "That is the biggest squirrel tail I have ever seen."
Nature and nurturing is a recurrent theme in her music, going back to her 2007 debut, "One Cell in the Sea," which mixed stories of romantic disappointment with wildlife as a metaphor. Her new album, "Pines" is a mature, deeper version of that, with songs that are expansive and emotional, mixing the organic with the post-modern.
The new album's seven-minute opening track, "Pine Song," connects human passion with her awe of nature, singing of "pining" for a lover as the music swells from a quiet vibration of strings to a cinematic swirl of acoustic guitar, piano and whispers of sound. Sudol's voice is soft and dramatic: "The words you speak / Stir things in me I thought were gone . . . I can feel it through the fields of graves / A beating heart / While rolling hills are roaming through my veins."
"The whole point of it is to stop pining, and to start being present and start living the life I want to live," she said of the song, one of many she will bring to the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles (with Joshua Radin) on Nov. 16.
The album was recorded last year during a week of torrential rainstorms at the historic Studio B at Capitol Records. She thought she might write "a lullaby record," but instead stretched out, reaching far beyond the 31/2-minute limit she always assumed was needed in a pop song.
"I wanted to utilize silence as much as I used sound — because I was creating a world," explained Sudol, dressed casually on a warm day in a sleeveless top and skirt, blond hair to her shoulders. "There's nothing on there that isn't taking you somewhere. There's no seven-minute guitar solo for fun, or because we want to show off. I want you to feel in 'Riversong' like you're floating down a river on your back, and you're looking at the stars, and everything is incredibly still and peaceful."
She traces her obsession with the natural environment to her toddler years in Seattle, before her family relocated first to Hollywood and then to Burbank. Annual summer visits to her grandparents to ride horses and run through the fields in rural Northern California kept the memories fresh. She describes it as a childhood "filled with sea and rain and trees and clean air and mountains and beautiful things in nature."
They were images that stayed with her, but their use in her music is not simple idealism but a vivid reflection of her emotions and normal life struggles.
"I had a lot of things personally that were just falling apart," Sudol said of the period when "Pines" was written. "I was really raw and had decided to rebuild my life. At the same time, one of my friends was pregnant — she's the same age as me, and we've known each other for a decade. So I had a strong sense of nurturing things and of nature being connected.
"What's the most nurturing image I could come up with? I thought about a pine tree cradling a little bird and keeping it safe from a snowstorm. I was walking around my neighborhood and there were pine trees and birds flying — the little teeny tiny birds that are so sweet and baby-like. Wow, that's an amazing image. That's something I could possibly build more out of."
"What's the most nurturing image I
could come up with? I thought about a
pine tree cradling a little bird and keeping
it safe from a snowstorm."
-- Alison Sudol
She imagined a fable involving the bird and the tree and created a through-line for the album — a young bird representing youth and excitement, and a mature tree dreaming of literally uprooting itself for a new life and location. The same story line is the basis of a 12-minute animated short film, "The Story of Pines," produced by the film company Participant Media ("Lincoln," "Syriana") and an illustrated book written by Sudol, both timed to coincide with the album release.
Sudol said she also has a 400-page novel awaiting a sharp editor called "Three Sails and the Family Moss," involving enchanted ships and talking animals. She has been writing since she was a child, and finds it more relaxing than music-making.
"It's different from music because music is like going deep down into soul, like scooping out all the difficult, beautiful, messy stuff and putting it into songs," Sudol said with a knowing smile. "Writing is more like playing for me. I'm just running around in my imagination and picking at things and pulling at things. It's much lighter. It was just another way to communicate. And there was stuff there that I still needed to explore."
Her first album, recorded at age 22, was thoughtful and precocious — a collection of piano-based songs that could easily fit on a playlist between the likes of Fiona Apple and Regina Spektor. It was recorded near the home she shared with her mother in Burbank, at Eldorado Studios, right beside Interstate 5.
"My experience was very much in a bubble," Sudol remembered of making her debut. "I was protected. It was so intimate. No one knew who I was, so I didn't have any real pressure."
The songs found an audience, introduced to the young singer through the evocative, wounded "Almost Lover," drawn to the hooks and emotion of the music. The song reached No. 23 on Billboard's adult contemporary chart, and the young singer was soon on her first tour, hitting North America and Europe. Even then, she would look for the nearest park, body of water and forest.
"Going on tour was difficult for me at that time because I didn't have a strong sense of center yet," she said. "It was overwhelming: I went from living at my parents' house and playing songs in their garage to being in the world."
The second album from A Fine Frenzy, 2009's "Bomb in a Birdcage," was a shift in direction, with more pop hooks than contemplation, encouraged by her label and others who pushed for a more immediately commercial sound. The message was: "Your first little album did really well. Now it's time for you to be something else."
Changes at the label have meant support for a more direct and mature follow-up to her debut. The results can be heard in her vocal performances, which have deepened with experience, at times dropping to a fragile near-whisper.
"It's being more confident as a singer and realizing that it doesn't take being loud to create an emotional effect," she said. "It's the same as silence, using my voice more as an instrument. I learned a lot of it on tour. Singing in front of people, I learned a lot more about fragility and strength."

Navigating New York Probate Records on FamilySearch
The person I will be looking for is Francis Plaine Smith. I do not know when he died or where. But, I do know he was living in Oyster Bay, Queens, New York at the time of the 1870 US Census and that he does not appear in any subsequent censuses.
1) First I went to FamilySearch and narrowed the collections down to just New York:
2) The collection I want, "New York, Probate Records, 1629-1071" is at the bottom. I'm going to click on "Browse Images" to the right of the collection title. Once I do, this comes up:
3) A listing of New York counties appears. Since Francis' last known address was in Queens (circled in red above), I'm clicking that one. Then this appears:
4) A listing of everything available for that county comes up and I scroll up and down (note the red arrow) until I reach what I am looking for. Not all counties have a general index of names volume(s), though each individual record volume (i.e. "Letters of Administration, 1864-1868 vol G") seems to have a name index towards the front. In the case of Queens, there is a general index of names and I clicked on the one I believed Francis was in, "General card index 1787-1900 Rhoads, William-Zubrod, Charles." This opens up the volume and I hunt around until I find who I believe to be my Francis P(laine) Smith:
Note the image field box (within the red box). I began my search by typing in a random number in this box, then another until I had narrowed my search down to the image I wanted. The previous image also concerns this same Francis P. Smith:
5) According to the card above, Francis' will can be found in volume 4, page 231.
On image 6, I find:
6) Next, I want to find page 231. Page numbers and image numbers rarely seem to correlate, but I'll type in 231 in the image field box (see screenshot 4 above). It takes me to pages 440 and 441, so I know to halve my next search. I type in various numbers until I reach page 231, which ends up being on image 124:
I am so thankful that FamilySearch added these documents. If you have New York ancestors this collection is certainly worth a look. I hope this makes navigating FamilySearch easier, if not I'd be happy to help.
Disclosure: I am in no way affiliated with FamilySearch or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, nor did I receive any remuneration of any kind from anyone for writing this post.

When an Egyptian security officer shot an activist to death during a peaceful march in central Cairo last year, photos and video of the incident stirred international outrage.
On Sunday, a court in Cairo annulled the 15-year sentence that had been handed down to a police officer charged in the case, ordering a new trial in a different judicial jurisdiction.
Activist Shaimaa Sabbagh was fatally shot on Jan. 25, 2015, as she carried a flower to a memorial for protesters who died in the 2011 uprising that ended the rule of President Hosni Mubarak.
In June, police Lt. Yassin Hatem Salahedeen was indicted for firing birdshot pellets at peaceful protesters from a close range...

ReTreat Yourself: B4BC's Second Stop Of Their Shred The Love Tour
By Dominique Vallee
Photos Geoff Andruik
Earlier this month Boarding For Breast Cancer partnered up with BC's Red Mountain Resort to put on ReTreat Yourself; a weekend retreat for breast cancer survivors to enjoy themselves, find healing and support through friends and kick-start their journey to a healthy lifestyle. The weekend consisted of three days at Red Mountain Resort near Rossland, with everything from daily yoga classes to shredding the hill with pro-skier Kasha Rigby and pro-snowboarders Kendra Starr and Megan Pischke. Of the thirteen women who attended ReTreat Yourself, The North Face provided ten fully-paid spaces for breast cancer survivors, however spaces were available for anyone to attend.
By bringing the women to the mountains, it allowed them to unplug for the weekend and bring simplicity to their life. Society encourages us to depend on the constant need to be connected. Instagram, Facebook, texting and checking emails; all excess noise that distracts from the little things life has to offer on a daily basis. The significance of disconnecting lets the women focus entirely on themselves and their inner strength.
To start off each day the ladies had the chance to work with Canadian yoga instructor Kristin Campbell, who encourages living a simple and positive lifestyle. Campbell uses yoga as a tool to build a strong core connection with the mind, body and soul. Through poses, postures and breath work, the women paved their way to powerful and refreshing mornings.
On the mountain B4BC provided an information booth to educate the public about breast cancer, healthier eating habits and toxic chemicals in everyday cosmetics. Alongside the pamphlets and fliers that were provided, B4BC pulled out their infamous tray of boobies to educate women on self-examination, which is the first step in the fight against breast cancer. After their information filled morning, the ladies got to let loose and shred the hill with Kendra Starr, Megan Pischke and Kasha Rigby.
To bring back their zen vibe from their morning yoga workout, the women booked massages with Susan Chapelle, a master massage therapist and post-surgery breast tissue scientist from Squamish, BC. Colorado life coach and counselor, Linda Kennoy, helped the ladies break through life challenges and focus on their inner power encouraging them to conquer the world.
Saturday brought a daylong event for the ladies to enjoy themselves and get their shred on. As their second stop of this years' campaign tour, B4BC held Shred the Love to raise awareness and encourage participation for their Winter Board-A-Thon Series. Donations from supporting companies such as The North Face, Gnu, Yes, and Powder Room were raffled off at local bar, Rafter's. Throughout the night the partygoers got their groove on to Allen Stone, a dude with some rad rhythms crossed between classic soul, R&B and folk of the 1960s and '70s. In addition to the raffle ticket proceeds, Red Mountain donated 50 percent of their Saturday sales to the Boarding for Breast Cancer organization, coming to a grand total of 5,156.73 dollars.
As the weekend went on, smiles were shared, bonds were made stronger and the tasty food of local chef, Marianne Abraham, was grubbed. Oh yeah, and the Shred of Love was shred.
The Shred the Love campaign will be touring from this upcoming weekend until the first weekend of May. Be sure to check it out.

I bought this book last year and made all of the sets for my mother in law for Christmas. I knew she wouldn't use the coasters so I left that part off and just made them napkin holders. She loved them so much I am now creating my own versions of Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's to give her for Christmas this year!

Mfashion needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 104 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
We're starting a message board forum where people can just ask anything they want.
And we need a logo for it.
I need a logo for a new messageboard web site called AskAnythingYouWant.com
I dont know if I want the logo to say AskAnythingYouWant.com
Ask Anything You Want
So Id like it to be possible to use either when I pick the final design.
- I Love the PerezHilton Logo where the letters are bold and sparkling http://img.perezhilton.com/images/p…ip_art.jpg
- That logo says POW, glamorous and fun site to me. Its easy to read.
- Logo should have a white background.
- Id like the
logo to be somewhat wide (maybe 300-500px wide, left to right) but not
too tall as I dont want it to push the forum down far on the page, and
I need to make room for banners. But I still want the logo to load
- I want the logo to be easy to read, no cursive letters please.
- I have no preference for colors but want it bright and eyecatching.
- I guess I like blues, oranges, greens, whatever.
- Also Im open to different colored letters, like in the eBay and Google logos.
- I'm open to designs. I dont know what I want but when I see a killer logo Ill take it.
- Maybe question marks or a confused person around the logo? I'm open.
I dont like heavy gradients. That takes away the "POW" for me.
Dont want anything dark, small or takes a long time to load. Dont want a logo thats hard to read.
I dont like logos where the lettering is a little fuzzy and hard to read.

Dining and Local Foods
University of Alaska is committed to fostering a sustainable food system by engaging in practices that reduce and recycle waste, help organize and support sustainability events, and look for ways to introduce local foods into the menu. Food waste is the third largest waste stream in the United States (after paper and yard waste) and a major area Dining Services has targeted to reduce.
Excess food products that meet quality and safety standards are donated to the local Fairbanks Community Food Bank.
What is UAF doing?
- Thousands of cardboard boxes bring product and supplies to the University of Alaska Fairbanks; they no longer fill up the dumpsters and then landfills but are delivered to the Fairbanks Rescue Mission where they are recycled.
- Did you hear that UAF grows several of its own produce items right here on the UAF Campus? It's a growing program in which Dining Services and UAF are pleased to partner to develop and include more of the produce you eat! Read about our efforts in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (PDF | Web).
- UAF has eliminated trays from the dining hall in an effort to reduce food waste and trash. Removing trays also saves water and heat for washing. Going trayless in the dining hall has resulted in a 50 percent reduction in the volume of waste produced post consumer, reduced food prep and 220,000 less trays washed annually.
- Used cooking oil is being converted into biodiesel in a unique partnership with Denali Bio-fuel. Biodiesel production diverts cooking oil from landfills, while its use reduces emissions of major greenhouse gases and substances such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, hazardous diesel particulates, and the acid-rain-causing sulfur dioxide.
- Dining Services uses napkins that are 90 percent post-consumer recycled paper and are interfolded so that they dispense one at a time to help reduce waste.
- In 2009, Dining services initiated a reusable to-go container to help go greener. Environmentally-friendly plastic containers are charged on Polar Express cards and credited when returned. Containers are then cleaned and sanitized for reuse.
- Dining Services has partnered with local mushers to recycle protein scraps and fuel Alaskan sled dogs.

Community Supported Agriculture is a popular way for folks to buy local food directly from farmers. CSA Farming offers a full growing season "share" typically consisting of a box of vegetables.

Sor-reee. Y'know, you don't HAVE to read things I post. Besides, I tastefully avoided any ad hominem attacks, kind of, while agreeing with the post in question. Not that Jim isn't a tempting target. I mean, a NASA engineer -- what do THEY know. Look at what the last group of NASA folks did for cluster computing, you know, building that "beowulf" thing and shamelessly engaging in self-promotion that led to the beowulf being the kleenex of cluster computing (in a metaphor you probably don't want to explore too deeply:-). Besides, I'm a physicist and I TEACH engineering students all the time -- they're not so smart. I hardly ever learn anything from Jim on, say, electrical engineering that I didn't already know, sort of, if I thought about it for a week or two and did a few pages of algebra, and it's been DAYS since I last googled up one of his previous posts to recover some nugget or the other that I don't bother to actually remember myself because it is too trivial a factoid and my brain is already so full. Ultimately it comes down to one thing. Can you possibly bring yourself to trust somebody that seriously entertains the notion of building homemade cluster computers using cookie sheets and baker's racks? Of course not! You can be assured that anything that such a person ever posts on the beowulf list is bound to be a lie, as I hope is obvious to anybody that has been paying attention to the thread...;-) rgb (Who simply LOVES G\"odel's theorem and the various Russel paradoxes and cannot resist the joke...:-) -- Robert G.

Scientists Say Pasta Made With Barley Flour Could Lower Risk of Heart Disease
Bill Hendrick
WebMD Health News
Latest Nutrition, Food & Recipes News
Reviewed By Laura J. Martin, MD
Sept. 16, 2011 -- It's being called "super spaghetti."
Scientists in Italy and Spain say they have developed a new type of pasta made with barley flour that may reduce the risk of heart disease for lovers of spaghetti and other wheat-based noodles.
Barley, a hardy cereal famous for giving beer its characteristic strength and flavor, is an excellent source of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin E. It has been gaining popularity as an ingredient in so-called "functional foods" that are supplemented with healthy additives.
Functional foods are billed as healthier products. According to the American Chemical Society, they've become popular around the world among health-conscious diners, creating a new industry expected to be worth more than $176 billion by 2013.
According to Vito Verardo, PhD, of the University of Bologna in Italy, and Ana Maria Gomez-Caravaca, PhD, of the University of Granada in Spain, it may not be long before people see packages of pasta labeled with the phrases "may reduce the risk of heart disease" and "good source of dietary fiber" because of the barley.
'Functional' Foods Gain Popularity
In creating the new pasta, scientists first had to determine whether they could make spaghetti a "functional food" by using barley to add fiber and antioxidants. So, they developed barley flour containing the most nutritious part of the grain.
As they had hoped, the researchers say spaghetti made with barley flour had more fiber and antioxidant activity than traditional spaghetti made with semolina -- a type of wheat flour.
They say that adding gluten to the barley flour improved the cooking quality of the pasta, at the expense of its antioxidant power.
The researchers write that barley spaghetti has the adequate requirements of the FDA to warrant making health claims on the package.
The ingredients in barley, such as the dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin E, are known to help peoples' hearts and digestive tracts.
The scientists' report is published in the American Chemical Society's Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Stanford team puts campus on map; wins Google Earth 3-D modeling contest
Recently graduated senior Joseph Bergen and nine other students worked together to map the Stanford campus in 3-D and emerged as one of seven teams to win a contest hosted by Google to create 3-D models of their respective college campuses for the search giant's geographic information feature, Google Earth.
Recently graduated senior Joseph Bergen is more familiar with the architectural intricacies of Stanford's Main Quad than the average observer. After spending about five hours trying to capture every exterior face of the structure on film for a digital 3-D modeling project—snapping nearly 400 pictures—Bergen noticed the subtle differences between the history and math corners, as well as the strange looks from his peers.

Rihanna Goes Long in 'SNL' Promo With Eli Manning + Andy Samberg
Pop vixen Rihanna hams it up with Eli Manning and Andy Samberg in the promo for this weekend's 'Saturday Night Live.' The 'We Found Love' singer look gorgeous in a black leather bra top and pants. Her hair, looking a little disheveled, is now jet black.
In the clip, Samberg tells Manning to go long. "What, you don't even have a football," the New York Giants quarterback responds. "Oh that's a football thing, that's how we greet each other here," Samberg says, adding, "Hey Rihanna, go long!"
"Go long," RiRi replies as she gives Samberg a high five, much to the chagrin of Manning.
Not only is Rihanna performing on the show, she also is planning to appear in maybe one or two sketches. "Yes, we are hoping so," says SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels (via MTV). "We'll know [soon]. I wish I could report on everything that's been written [and] if this were tomorrow, I could," he adds. "I know that there are a lot of things in the works, but I don't frankly know how they turned out. And I think it's our intention."
We are hoping that Rihanna reprises her role in the Emmy-nominated digital short 'Shy Ronnie' with Samberg. But who knows?
Tune in to 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend at 11:30PM ET on NBC.
