LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers didn't open their five-game homestand they way they wanted to on Friday night.
Chris Capuano was unable to deliver a third consecutive quality start, and the Dodgers were shut out by the Cardinals, 7-0, at Dodger Stadium in the opener of a three-game series against the team with the best record in the Major Leagues.View Full Game Coverage
The Dodgers managed only three hits, struck out 11 times and had just one runner reach scoring position.
The Cardinals (31-16) took the lead in the second inning and never looked back as they handed the Dodgers their fifth loss in the past seven games.
"It's really not the way you envision coming back home and getting the homestand started," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "They score early and we basically don't have a lot of chances to score and they just kind of keep adding on."
Capuano lost for the third time in five starts and allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits, including two home runs, in five-plus innings. The left-hander struck out four against three walks.
"I just started rushing a little bit out there and was getting frustrated, and really speeding things up," Capuano said. "I'm not real happy mentally with the way I handled the game."
The Dodgers recorded just two hits against Cardinals starter Lance Lynn, who struck out nine over six dominant innings. The right-hander won his seventh game this season and remained unbeaten against the Dodgers in three career starts.
Lynn pounded the zone with fastballs for much of his outing, as the Dodgers were unable to catch up to his heater and make solid contact.
"That's the plan going into every start for me," said Lynn, who departed after six innings only because he experienced tightness in his lower back and hamstring. "But sometimes you give up some hits and have to start adjusting. Tonight, I was able just to keep making pitches with it, so I didn't have to go to anything else until the second time through, just to show them something different."
It was the fourth time this season the Dodgers were held scoreless, the first since April 14 at Arizona.
"We've got to do a better job as a team of putting our own runs up, not putting so much pressure on our guys," catcher A.J. Ellis said.
The Dodgers had a scare in the top of second as Cardinals outfielder Jon Jay barreled into Ellis at the plate just in time to beat Nick Punto's relay throw for the first run of the game.
Ellis stayed on the ground for several minutes as manager Don Mattingly and team trainers checked on him, but Ellis remained in the game.
"It was a good, clean baseball play," said Ellis, who expects to be in the lineup on Saturday. "I wish the ball would have been a tick earlier and we could have gotten him out. You've got to stay there and protect home plate."
Jay said he was glad that no one was seriously injured.
"I don't know what happened," said Jay, who went 1-for-4 with two runs scored. "It was just a last-minute play. I'm glad he's not hurt, and I'm glad nothing bad happened to either of us."
A rare error by Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzlalez allowed Jay to reach base. The former Gold Glove award winner fielded a ground ball, but made an errant toss to Capuano as the pitcher ran to cover first.
"I kind of got over there too quick and made it a tough play for him," Capuano said. "I was just rushing a little bit."
Allen Craig added to the Cardinals' lead with a two-run double in the third, then belted a solo shot to left-center in the fifth to make it 4-0.
Capuano served up another homer in the sixth, a two-run shot by David Freese that landed in the Dodgers' bullpen, and was removed in favor of Matt Guerrier.
"I just didn't make enough good pitches tonight," Capuano said. "It was hit and miss. For a stretch of a few pitches I would be real spot-on with location and then I would fly open and yank a few and miss my spots."
Guerrier retired the first three batters he faced, but the Cardinals loaded the bases against him without the benefit of a hit in the seventh and took a 7-0 lead on Yadier Molina's sacrifice fly.
J.P Howell relieved Guerrier and escaped the inning without further damage, but the Cardinals had already built an insurmountable lead. The left-hander tossed a 1-2-3 eighth, and rookie Paco Rodriguez fired a perfect ninth.
Carl Crawford led off the first with a single for the Dodgers, but was caught stealing. The Dodgers didn't have another baserunner until Juan Uribe doubled to right in the third, the only player to get into scoring position in the game.

I have found our branch of Ward's to be a frustrating branch to research. Beside's the fact that Ward is a common name, my husband's line liked to move around. It wasn't hard to get back to his great great grandfather – Frances Frederick Ward following the census records. After that it took awhile to come to the conclusion (still unproven) that William Ward and Mary Wheat were his parents. I found them in the right county in Arkansas in the 1850 census, William says he was born in Ohio and that is where the trail ends. There are several Ward families in Ohio in the 1840 census but since individual family names are not enumerated I haven't figured out if William is there anywhere. I know that I am going to have to make a trip to Sevier County, Arkansas sometime soon. But after my last foray into Arkansas research I am just not looking forward to it. I sure would like to connect my William Ward and trace them back to when and where they came to America and where they came from.
Francis Frederick and his wife Texannah Dyer and their 9 children ended up in Oklahoma in the early 1900s. Their son Robert Elmer Ward was born in 1894 in Indian Territory, Oklahoma. Elmer married Nancy Bluford Broughton and they had five children. The oldest, Mike, was my husband's grandfather. We have few pictures and even fewer stories but I believe their story was much like other pioneer Oklahoma families.

Sister Burton – 'The Power, Joy and Love of Covenant Keeping'
Sister Stephens – 'We have great reason to rejoice'
Sister Reeves – 'Claim the blessings of your covenants'
As Latter-day Saint women seek their Heavenly Father through fervent, sincere prayer and earnest, dedicated scripture study, their testimonies will become strong and deeply rooted, said President Thomas S. Monson Sept. 28.
"We will know of God's love for us," he said. "We will understand that we do not ever walk alone. I promise you that you will one day stand aside and look at your difficult times, and you will realize that He was always there beside you."
Speaking at the Relief Society General Meeting, President Monson addressed the topic, "We Never Walk Alone." The meeting was translated and sent live, via the Church satellite system and the Internet, across the globe. The Relief Society general presidency, Sister Linda K. Burton and her counselors, Sister Carole M. Stephens and Linda S. Reeves also spoke.
President Monson told the worldwide congregation that as he contemplated his opportunity to address them, he was reminded "of the love my dear wife, Frances, had for Relief Society."
"I, too, love Relief Society," he said. "I testify to you that it was organized by inspiration and is a vital part of the Lord's Church here upon the earth. It would be impossible to calculate all the good which has come from this organization and all the lives which have been blessed because of it."
Relief Society is made up of a variety of women, he said. "There are those of you who are single — perhaps in school, perhaps working — yet forging a full and rich life. Some of you are busy mothers of growing children. Still others of you have lost your husbands because of divorce or death and are struggling to raise your children without the help of a husband and father. Some of you have raised your children but have realized that their need for your help is ongoing. There are many of you who have aging parents who require the loving care only you can give.
"Wherever we are in life, there are times when all of us have challenges and struggles. Although they are different for each, they are common to all."
President Monson told the congregation that there will be times they will walk a path strewn with thorns and marked by struggle. "There may be times when you feel detached — even isolated —from the Giver of every good gift. You worry that you walk alone. Fear replaces faith.
"When you find yourself in such circumstances, I plead with you to remember prayer."
God's children were not placed on this earth to walk alone, said President Monson. "What an amazing source of power, of strength and of comfort is available to each of us. He who knows us better than we know ourselves, He who sees the larger picture and who knows the end from the beginning, has assured us that He will be there for us to provide help if we but ask. …
"Difficult as it may at times be, it is for us, as well, to trust our Heavenly Father to know best how and when and in what manner to provide the help we seek."
Of course, prayer is not just for times of trouble, President Monson added. "We are told repeatedly in the scriptures to 'Pray always,' (Luke 21:36) and to keep a prayer in our hearts" (3 Nephi 20:1).
Allied with prayer in helping Latter-day Saints cope in the often difficult world is scripture study, said President Monson.
"The words of truth and inspiration found in our four standard works are prized possessions to me," he said. "I never tire of reading them. I am lifted spiritually whenever I search the scriptures. These holy words of truth and love give guidance to my life and point the way to eternal perfection.
"As we read and ponder the scriptures, we will experience the sweet whisperings of the Spirit to our souls. We can find answers to our questions. We learn of the blessings which come through keeping God's commandments. We gain a sure testimony of our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, and of their love for us. When combined with our prayers, we can of a certainty know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true."
President Monson told the worldwide congregation that remembering prayer and taking time to turn to the scriptures will bless their lives and make their burdens light.
He spoke of a woman, Tiffany, whose husband had been in medical school and was now in his second year of residency. Because of the husband's busy schedule, care for the couple's four young children fell to the Tiffany.
"She was becoming overwhelmed, and then she learned that one who was dear to her had been diagnosed with cancer," President Monson recounted. "The stress and worry began to take a heavy toll on her, and she slipped into a period of discouragement and depression. She sought medical help, and yet nothing changed. Her appetite disappeared and she began to lose weight, which her tiny frame could ill afford. She sought peace through the scriptures and prayed for deliverance from the gloom which was overtaking her. When neither peace nor help seemed to come, she began to feel abandoned by God."
Tiffany sought medical attention and friends and family stepped in to help. One day Tiffany told a friend trying to help her find something she could eat of her desire for homemade bread. The next day a woman Tiffany barely new delivered a loaf of homemade bread.
"And so it happened that the Lord sent a virtual stranger across town to deliver not just the desired homemade bread, but also a clear message of love to Tiffany," said President Monson. "What happened to her cannot be explained in any other way. She had an urgent need to feel that she wasn't alone — that God was aware of her and had not abandoned her. That bread — the very thing she wanted — was delivered to her by someone she barely knew, someone who had no knowledge of her need but who listened to the prompting of the Spirit and followed that prompting. It became an obvious sign to Tiffany that her Heavenly Father was aware of her needs and loved her enough to send help. He had responded to her cries for relief."
Concluding, President Monson said, "My dear sisters, your Heavenly Father loves you — each of you. That love never changes. It is not influenced by your appearance, by your possessions, or by the amount of money you have in your bank account. It is not changed by your talents and abilities. It is simply there. It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God's love is there for you whether or not you deserve love. It is simply always there."

Suspect in Brooklyn Hit and Run Wants to Turn Himself In
(NEW YORK) -- The suspect wanted in the hit-and-run death of a Brooklyn couple and their baby says he is ready to turn himself in, but still remains on the lam from police, according to ABC News' WABC-TV in New York, which reached him by phone.
Julio Acevedo, 44, said he was fleeing gunfire when he hit the livery cab carrying Nachman Glauber and his pregnant wife Raizel, both 21, around 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
"This why I am willing to turn myself in, because my heart goes out to all of those people that's feeling like I'm so much of a bad guy and I'm really not. I did not know that occurred until I seen the news. Once I seen the news, I said I have to get my attorney ready before I turn myself in," he said.
Cops say Acevedo, 44, fled on foot after slamming his BMW into the couple's car, instantly killing Nachman Glauber and sending Raizel and their unborn child to the emergency room.
Raizel Glauber died after delivering the baby via C-section. The baby boy, just 7 months old, briefly survived the ordeal, but died Monday morning.
Acevedo has a lengthy criminal history, including manslaughter and drunk driving, police said Tuesday.
Acevedo was identified by at least one witness who helped him out of the wreckage of his car and was snapped by a photographer when he returned to the scene in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, police told ABC News.
Police believe Acevedo briefly hid out at a friend's home before fleeing the area, according to WABC-TV.
As the dragnet expands, new details about Acevedo's past have emerged.
Acevedo was convicted of manslaughter in 1989 for the shooting death of Kelvin "50 Cent" Marvin two years earlier, according to court records. He was also convicted of robbery and drug possession. The rapper 50 Cent took his name from Marvin's nickname.
Acevedo was released in 1998.
In 2002 he was convicted and served three years supervised probation for possession of a firearm.
As recently as Feb. 17, Acevedo was arrested for drunk driving in Brooklyn and was found to have twice the legal limit of alcohol following a breath test, police confirmed.
Just after midnight on Sunday, the Glaubers were on their way to a hospital to meet Raizel's doctor after the first-time mother complained she was not feeling well.
The livery car they were in was hit with so much force, the engine ended up in the backseat, where the pregnant woman was sitting.

The Nike+ FuelBand is something I got very excited about. It's a watch that keeps track of your activity throughout the day and promotes you to be more active. It's essentially for regular people (not athletes) that want to get more fit but haven't found the right catalyst. Tim Cook wears one which adds to street cred (in the geek world at least).
The attractive thing about the FuelBand is that it isn't a product that's designed for hardcore athletes like so many similar products. It can't measure lap times, or give you accurate GPS coordinates of your run. It uses something called "NikeFuel", a point based system that measures the amount of "movement" throughout the day. Not necessarily useful data but that's what makes it simple and easy to swallow.
Starting with the packaging - it's very similar to iPods of yesterday. If you've ever unboxed something like the iPod mini, you'll be very familiar with this presentation.
The watch comes in 3 sizes. S, M/L, and XL. They come packaged with two links of different sizes to help with fitment. Nike includes a small tool (basically a glorified paper clip) to remove these extenders.
There is a problem here though - the links look really ugly. I was lucky that I fit perfectly in M/L without any links because that's really the best setup aesthetically. If you are looking to buy one, I'd pick one up at the Apple Store. This way, if you bought a small and realize you need an extra link, return the small and get the medium/large.
The FuelBand comes in 3 colors; black, black ice and white ice. My issue with the black version is that it is easy to scuff and it shows dust very easily. I ended up going with the black ice because of this. The white ice was also an option but I was worried that it may yellow over time from sweat and oils. After all, this is for exercise.
The FuelBand is extremely well made. The band goes for about $150, which seems totally reasonable to me. Even if you never end up using the Nike+ side of FuelBand, you'll have a nice watch to wear. Most of the watch is plastic/rubber but it feels substantial. The small amount of aluminum on the clasp also helps to bring up the perceived quality of the device.
There's some controversy about the translucent design of the ice models. I personally think it's interesting. There's something Blade Runner about the appearance. It's an intelligent watch and there's nothing about about showing a few internal components to show that off. I love the small "Just do it." printed on the circuit board too.
It's almost retro futuristic. Unusual, but I appreciate it.
The USB plug is cleverly used as the male end of the clasp. This beats the Jawbone Up's solution for sure. I do have an issue with the actual USB plug though. It is made from a rather soft plastic and gets marred very quickly. Nike should have used something less susceptible to scratches on a part that receives so much abuse.
The clasp has another design flaw. If you're not careful, it'll pinch you - hard. The clasp clips together aggressively with a satisfying click and if your not careful, your skin will get clamped in the process. After a few mistakes you'll develop a technique to avoid getting murdered by this watch.
Charging and software updates can all be done via USB. Charging happens surprisingly quick and the watch lasts for about 3-4 days from my personal experience. Not terribly great and you'll have yet another device next to your bed to plug in.
Something that does confuse me is if the FuelBand is water proof or not. Nike's own documentation doesn't seem to mention anything about this topic but all the reviews online seem to say that it's at least "shower proof". I wore it every time I took a shower without it breaking so we're probably safe here. Let's just call it water "resistant".
I've left the actual functionality of the band last - as it's where the device just falls short for me. The FuelBand has a single button on the front that turns on the LED display and toggles between the time, calories burned, steps, and NikeFuel points. Calories and steps aren't all that useful for most people so the time and Fuel points are of interest here. The actual display of Fuel is done really well. You are given a digital read-out of the number of points you've gathered throughout the day and a colorful bar shows you how close you've come to your daily goal. This visual does a great job of motivating you to reach your goal. The problem is that the FuelBand is not accurate at measuring your Fuel points. First of all, the band is unable to measure activities like biking where your arms are stationary. This is annoying, but the bigger problem is that the device thinks any arm movement is the user being active. For instance, I was at a bar one night and exceeded my goal and even got a high score. I'm guessing that I move my arms a lot when I talk. Regardless of how I got the points, the takeaway here is that the FuelBand is far from perfect at measuring the amount of physical activity you partake in.
Despite the inaccuracy, the iPhone app that works in harmony with FuelBand is well executed. The device syncs with the iPhone via Bluetooth which is convenient. You can see a graph of your activity throughout the day, check the status of your band and also make some minor changes to its settings. The best part are the over the top animations you get when you reach your goals. You wouldn't want to see them in any other app but they really do motivate you in an scenario like this.
The thing that really sucks about the app is the friends integration. The app only shows you your Facebook friends, who clearly don't own a FuelBand or haven't used theirs in a while. The Nike website lets you find friends from sources like Twitter but there's no way to compete with these friends on the phone. A huge mistake on Nike's part.
Due to the inaccuracy of the FuelBand's calculations and the total lack of tracking for cycling, I've decided to return it. A good social integration could have been the saving grace but that is also lacking. Don't get me wrong, the FuelBand isn't a bad product, it's just not a perfect one. If you want a fun way to promote activity, this is a very good investment. For me personally, I felt that the $150 was better spent on buying something like Nike+ Kinect Training (which actually works really well - if you have a big room).

Jan. 21, 2010 -- One in five American teens has unhealthy cholesterol levels, putting them on the fast track for heart disease, according to a new CDC report.
Researchers found that 20% of young people aged 12-19 in the U.S. have at least one abnormal cholesterol or lipid level, including low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Unhealthy lipid levels are a leading risk factor for heart disease and death among adults in the U.S.
"Overweight and obese young people are at far greater risk of having abnormal lipid levels than are youths with normal weights," researcher Ashleigh May, PhD, an epidemic intelligence service officer in CDC's Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, says in a news release. "The current epidemic of childhood obesity makes this a matter of significant and urgent concern."
The study showed 43% of obese teens had unhealthy cholesterol levels compared with only 14% of normal-weight teens and 22% of overweight teens.
Child Cholesterol Check
In the study, published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, researchers reviewed health indicators for 3,125 young people between the ages of 12 and 19 from 1999 to 2006 gathered during an ongoing national survey.
The results showed 20% of teens had at least one abnormal lipid level based on cutoff points for high LDL cholesterol (greater than or equal to 130 mg/dL), low HDL cholesterol (less than or equal to 35 mg/dL), and high triglyceride levels (greater than or equal to 150 mg/dL).
Differences were strongly associated with weight as well as sex, age, and race or ethnicity. For example:
- More boys than girls had at least one unhealthy lipid level (24% vs. 16%).
- Older teens were more likely to have lower "good" HDL cholesterol levels than 12- and 13-year-olds.
- White teens were more likely to have low "good" cholesterol levels (8%) and high triglycerides (12%) than black teens (5% and 4%, respectively.)
Thirty-two percent of all youths met screening guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) based solely on their weight. The AAP recommends cholesterol screening for young people with a family history of high cholesterol, early heart disease, or at least one major risk factor for heart disease, such as smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, or overweight/obesity. Fifteen percent of the youths were overweight and 17% were obese based on BMI.
Researchers say screening teens for unhealthy cholesterol and lipid levels would help identify those at greatest risk for heart disease that would benefit from measures to reduce that risk, such as eating a healthier diet, losing weight, or increasing physical activity.

Seether Unleash Haunting 'Weak' Lyric Video
Seether are working on a new album, but in the interim the band has a new hit on their hands. 'Weak' is featured on the band's hits collection, 'Seether 2002-2013,' that arrived late last year and now there's some visuals to go along with the track.
The group just released the lyric video for 'Weak,' which offers a somewhat unsettling backdrop for the track. The clip opens with a boardwalk surrounded by the stark imagery of leafless tress and dark clouds, with the occasional reddish blood-like smoke entering the picture.
The ominous smoke also appears in other colors that eventually collide with each other amidst the tumult of the lyrical content. The lyrics also play out against the backdrops of blood splatter patterns and inked fingerprints, offering an ominous feel.
As for the song, it too has a haunting and eventually ominous feel. Frontman Shaun Morgan lays it on the line, singing the lyrics, "When I get weak / Or I'm tired and afraid / When I sleep all my dreams turn out the same / When I bleed I'll relieve you of your pain / I can't believe you won't let me go / Let me live my life alone."
'Weak' is one of the new songs on Seether's hits collection and offers a solid jumping off point as the band readies their next studio album.

L'Oréal USA's SalonCentric to acquire key assets from Four Star Salon Services to expand Northeast service
New York / Clichy, 2 May 2017 − L'Oréal USA, the largest subsidiary of L'Oréal, the world's leading beauty company, today announced that SalonCentric has agreed to acquire key assets from Four Star Salon Services, a full-service wholesale distributor headquartered in Hauppauge, New York. This acquisition will provide SalonCentric, L'Oréal USA's professional salon distribution operation, with expanded distribution coverage of salon professional products within New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
The acquisition will align Four Stars' field sales and stores with SalonCentric's field sales and store network. In total, 11 stores and various field positions that service approximately 3,500 salons will be included in the transaction.

The closing is subject to customary conditions.

Carolina Panthers
Carolina Panthers turn free agency focus to replenishing receivers
For all the receivers who left the Carolina Panthers organization in recent days, it was only a matter of time before general manager Dave Gettleman started trying to re-stock the inventory.
That process will begin in earnest Monday.
Pittsburgh Steelers free agent Jerricho Cotchery is in Charlotte to visit the Panthers on Monday, a league source said Sunday.
The Panthers also have had preliminary conversations with Green Bay Packers wideout James Jones after the free agent made a public pitch to Carolina on Sunday.
"I would love the opportunity to play for the Carolina Panthers," Jones told ESPN's Josina Anderson. "I would love to play with Cam (Newton)."
The Panthers cut franchise receiving leader Steve Smith last week in a move met with much criticism among their fan base. No. 2 receiver Brandon LaFell (New England), deep-threat Ted Ginn Jr. (Arizona) and Domenik Hixon (Chicago) left via free agency.
The Panthers also missed out on ex-New York Giants wideout Hakeem Nicks when he signed with Indianapolis, although it's unclear how interested the Panthers were in the former Independence High and North Carolina star.
Signing Cotchery and/or Jones, and going after a wideout in a receiver-rich draft, would ease some of the sting for Panthers fans and give Newton a new nucleus of targets.
Cotchery, 31, caught 46 passes for 602 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns last season. He was a fourth-round pick of the Jets in 2004, and spent seven years in New York before going to Pittsburgh before the 2011 season.
Cotchery, 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, signed a two-year, $3 million deal in 2012 with the Steelers, who lost receiver Emmanuel Sanders to Denver in free agency Saturday.
Cotchery played at N.C. State in 2000-03 and was a two-time All-ACC player.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Cotchery's free agency was on hold until he returned from a Steelers fan cruise. Pittsburgh has had preliminary talks with Cotchery, who has drawn interest from two other teams, according to the Tribune-Review.
Jones, who will turn 30 this month, is coming off the two best seasons of his seven-year career.
He led the league with 14 touchdown catches in 2012, the only time he's started 16 games in his career. Despite missing two games last season with a knee injury, Jones finished with 59 catches for 817 yards – a yard more than tight end Greg Olsen's team-leading total for the Panthers.
The Jets were linked to Jones last week, but the interest seems to be lukewarm for a receiver with good size (6-1, 208) and above-average speed.
Cotchery and Jones have worn No. 89 for most of their careers, a jersey number that's now available in Carolina.

Life After the Circuit (A New Way Of Doing A Film Festival)/
By Antonia Opiah
After the close of our 2011 run last year, we at the Beneath the Earth Film Festival asked ourselves, "What happens to all the films on the festival circuit once their run is over?"
We quickly came to the realization that if a filmmaker isn't part of the lucky 1% that get distribution, once he's off the circuit no one really sees his film again. We also realized that even those that get into festivals are likely not seen by a vast number of people. Filmmaker Tod Miro, for example, spent a year on the circuit and estimates his film was seen by about 1,500 people.
Consequently, we decided to make a big change in our submission requirements. This year we've been accepting films from as far back as 1990 onward, looking for cinematic gems who may have sailed through the circuit like a ship passing in the night, not having reached a fraction of their potential audience. If this sounds like you or a filmmaker you know, consider submitting to our 2012 competition.
The final deadline is soon, 8/31/12 to be exact and we're offering Hope for Film readers a $20 discount off the submission.
- Just submit here: http://beneathearth.com/2012-film-submissions.html
- And enter this discount code: hope082012.
- You can learn more about us here http://beneathearth.com/about.html
- And watch our nifty call for entries video here http://youtu.be/LTpH9HF5pgE
We're looking forward to seeing all the great films that get submitted this year!
Bio: Antonia Opiah is co-founder of the Beneath the Earth Film Festival, an online film festival that's using the Internet and its grand jury of film reviewers to get filmmakers noticed. The festival observed that many films come and go on the circuit without reaching their fullest potential of an audience. To remedy this, BTEFF accepts films from as far back as 1990 onward with the hope of unsurfacing and resurfacing cinematic gems.

Gilad Atzmon's The Wandering Who? A Study Of Jewish Identity Politics
Jewish identity is tied up with some of the most difficult and contentious issues of today. The purpose in this book is to open many of these issues up for discussion. Since Israel defines itself openly as the 'Jewish State', we should ask what the notions of 'Judaism', 'Jewishness', 'Jewish culture' and 'Jewish ideology' stand for. Gilad examines the tribal aspects embedded in Jewish secular discourse, both Zionist and anti Zionist; the 'holocaust religion'; the meaning of 'history' and 'time' within the Jewish political discourse; the anti-Gentile ideologies entangled within different forms of secular Jewish political discourse and even within the Jewish left. He questions what it is that leads Diaspora Jews to identify themselves with Israel and affiliate with its politics. The devastating state of our world affairs raises an immediate demand for a conceptual shift in our intellectual and philosophical attitude towards politics, identity politics and history.
You can now order the book on Amazon.com , Amazon.co.uk or here

"A transformative story told with unflinching integrity that all (especially Jews) who care about real peace, as well as their own identity, should not only read, but reflect upon and discuss widely." Professor Richard Falk
United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Palestine
"Fascinating and provocative" Professor John J. Mearsheimer
"Atzmon has the courage - so profoundly lacking among Western intellectuals" Professor James Petras
"Gilad's book constitutes an excellent critique of Identity Politics in general and Jewish Identity Politics in particular from a humanistic perspective. These hysterical attacks upon Gilad only reveal the weaknesses, insecurities, double-standards and hidden agendas of those who attack him. Gilad's humanism and plea for humanism shine through every page of this book—obviously influenced by his Jazz. A Love Supreme!" Professor Francis A. Boyle
"Atzmon addresses in The Wandering Who? important issues that deserve careful consideration by everyone—Jews, Palestinians and others—who are concerned with the interrelated topics of Zionism, the Jewish state, Palestinian oppression and Jews." Professor Norton Mezvinsky ( Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, May 2012)
"If you care to understand Zionist Israel, read Atzmon's book, The Wandering Who?" Paul Craig Roberts
"Atzmon's insight into the organism created by the Zionist movement is explosive." Professor William A. Cook
"Like the ancient prophets Atzmon exposes Jews. At the same time, Atzmon believes that the Bible, from which the prophets spring, is bogus….Atzmon provides no hiding place for Jews anywhere." (Future of the Prophetic, Marc H. Ellis pg' 332)..."Atzmon performs the prophetic for our time. Like the biblical prophets he does not acknowledge, Atzmon believes we are at the end of Jewish history, a history, like the prophets, he no longer believe exists or, if it does, is not worthy of being carried forward. Irony of ironies, he witnesses to the continuity of both" (pg' 334)..."Like Moses, though with a twist, Atzmon is constrained from entering the land….Atzmon refuses to return until the Promised Land is liberated from the modern-day Israelites. In short, Atzmon's homeland is occupied by Jews" (pg' 336) ..." Instead of King of the Jews. Perhaps Atzmon should be recognized as the prophet of old, At least in his self description and his outreach, this is the way he appears" (pg' 332) Professor Marc Ellis
"A superb and necessary book that demystifies some "undeniable truths" about Jewish identity -
Gauden Sarasola, El Pais
"I see in Atzmon writings a number of memes that are seeping into the common discourse. A meme is a persuasive idea that spreads in a population like a useful gene spreads in a population. Some of those memes include:
-The now well-established fact that Jews are not a racial group but an ideological religious belief that spread many centuries ago among people of diverse background (this meme came from studies of the Khazars and others by authors like Arthur Koestler, Kevin Alan Brooks, Shlomo Sand, and now Atzmon)
-The idea of a conflict between chauvinistic nationalism and universal humanism.
-The weird mix of religious heritage/belief with tribal notions in Jewish political discourse
-The distorted recruitment of archaeological and other studies to support the political ideology of a connection between Jews of today and Israelites of the bible
-The recruitment of the ideology of suffering as a quasi-religious belief that is no longer subject to normal historical examinations (and in fact shielded from such historical examination via laws)." Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh
"Atzmon's essential contribution to solidarity with Palestine is to help non-Jews realize that they are not always in the wrong when conflicts with Jewish organizations arise." Professor Jean Bricmont
Gilad's "The Wandering Who" entertains, pushes and irritates us. His painful journey through what it means to be Jewish, what the consequences are of carrying that realization around, and his ultimate acceptance of who he is makes me awfully glad I was raised a Methodist. Not to be missed and not to be put down for later, his book is one of the best reads of 2012."
Greta Berlin - Co-Founder, the Free Gaza movement
"Gilad Atzmon decided to open Pandora's Box, and ignite a debate that has been frustratingly dormant for too long. His experiences are most authentic, views are hard-hitting, and, at times, provocative. It must be read and discussed." Ramzy Baroud, Palestine Chronicle
"This is why I think his critique of Zionism is one of the essential books of our time." Christopher Bollyn
"Gilad Atzmon's book, The Wandering Who? is as witty and thought provoking as its title. But it is also an important book, presenting conclusions about Jews, Jewishness and Judaism which some will find shocking but which are essential to an understanding of Jewish identity politics and the role they play on the world stage." Karl Sabbagh
"A pioneering work that deserves to be read and Gilad Atzmon is brave to write this book!" Dr. Samir Abed-Rabbo
"Gilad's escape from spiritual claustrophobia towards a free and open humanitarianism is fearless" Robert Wyatt
"It is excellent from beginning to end. very well-organized and well-articulated arguments." David Rovics
"In his inimitable deadpan style, Atzmon identifies the abscess in the Jewish wisdom tooth – exilic tribalism – and pulls it out. Ouch!" Eric Walberg, Al Aharam Weekly
"It shows a sincerity and courage that is lacking in many Jewish intellectuals." Jonathan Moadab
"It is more than an academic exercise. It is a revelation!" Lauren Booth, Press TV
"The Wandering Who is a philosophical masterpiece that liberates us from the zionist superstitions that enslave us. It should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand the human condition in our irrational times." Greg Felton
"It is an exhilarating read, from the atemporality of immoral action to the temporality of morals, from Jewish suffering to supremacy and expansionism to the categorical imperative, and from guilt feelings to responsibility." Dr Anthony Löwstedt
"Having known Gilad for 25 years, I read the book in English, I heard it in Hebrew and reflected on it in Arabic. Gilad Atzmon is astonishingly courageous" Dr. Makram Khoury-Machool
"In many ways, Atzmon's book is a cri de couer addressed to Jews, specifically, but to humanity, generally, to grow up! To reach beyond tribalism and the politics of fear and vengeance." Gary Corseri
"Like a surgeon's knife cutting through crap to the kernel of truth! Courageous and exhilarating!" Inge Etzbach
"Gilad Atzmon reflects on his transforming journey from an IDF "Israeli", a racist tribalist, self-ghettoized Zionist, with exclusionist mentality, who was greatly influenced as a child by his "veteran Zionist terrorist" grandfather, into simply a Universalist and Humanist." Nahida Izzat, Uprooted Palestinians
"A fascinating achievement" Dr Oren Ben Dor
"Gilad Atzmon is someone who encompasses what it means to be an intellectual." Kim Petersen, Dissident Voice
"Gilad Atzmon is the Moses of our time, calling all of us out of the Egypt of our boneheaded nationalisms and racialisms and exceptionalisms and chosen-people-isms toward some form of humanistic universalism." Dr. Kevin Barrett
"Perhaps only a musician could have written this sensitive, perceptive lament over how so many Jews, believing themselves to be doing 'what is good for the Jews,' have managed to carve the heart out of the Palestinian nation and make this tragedy look like the natural order of things." KathleenChristison
"Gilad's The Wandering Who? would have been a welcome delight to Albert Einstein just as it will be the irritating nemesis for Abe Foxman ideologues." Dr. Paul Balles
"A book that will shake up a few people…." Gordon Duff
"Engaging, provocative and persuasive.' Jeff Gates
"When you finish reading this book, you may likely as well see a different face in the mirror." Professor Garrison Fewell
"The Wandering Who deconstructs the unique political identity that shapes the reality of the Jewish Nation and the crimes committed in its name. As a non-Jew, I found it illuminating!" Sameh Habeeb, Palestine Telegraph
"Gilad Atzmon probes the dilemmas Zionism has created for its adherents" Neil Berry, Arab News
"It is a very moving account that should be read by everyone." Silvia Cattori
"The Last Jewish Prophet" Professor William T. Hathaway
"Atzmon is an iconoclast." Dr. Paul Larudee
"A brilliant, courageous study as well as critical reflection on Jewish ethnocentrism" Rainlore's World of Music
"Like all truth tellers of any merit Atzmon can expect the wrath of the powers that be and their minions as a reward for what he is exposing. People like Atzmon will have played a vital role in saving us from ourselves if indeed we do manage to survive. Love and respect to my brother Gilad Atzmon." Ken O'Keefe
"The magical and yet extremely subtle gift that Gilad Atzmon offers through his personal journeys in The Wandering Who? is the wisdom of disillusionment." Shahram Vahdany, MWC News
"Sometimes a brash, abrasive provocateur is what is required as a catalyst for genuine debate." Sunny Singh
"This is a very perceptive and instructive book" Roy Ratcliffe
"I commend this book to anyone interested in Palestine/Israel, the Middle East in general, or Jewish identity issues." Sheldon Richman
"The most accurate assessment to date on Jewish identity and political drive" Today's Jewsih Heroes
"Atzmon's writing respects no sacred cows. His wit is biting, his insight and logic compelling." Richard A. Siegel
"A brilliant analysis that makes what appear to be contradictions in Jewish identity based political behavior not only comprehensible but predictable." Jeff Blankfort

We provide direct access to the same CLIA approved labs in Newman, CA and FDA approved tests that your doctor would utilize. Also the results are delivered directly to you and are not a part of your permanent medical record.
STD Statistics in Newman
Many people with STDs become infertile, die, or drive up the cost of healthcare nationwide and in Newman, California. According to a CDC source, the cost of healthcare has increased to $14.7 billion for the infected population. If you are moving to Newman, California and you plan to date, ensure that you know the statistics of STDs in the area, this could affect your sexual encounters and intimacy levels. The incidence of STDs in Newman has increased nearly across the board with the exception hepatitis A, B, and C infections. Chlamydia and gonorrhea infections are on the rise in Newman. Using the Center for Disease Control's 2016 STD Surveillance Report for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis and extrapolated using the latest 2011 US Census, it is estimated that 1.4 incidents of syphilis, 50.4 cases of chlamydia and 16.4 cases of gonorrhea, would be attributed to Newman in 2016.
Diagnosis of herpes is also a public health issue in Newman. The disease is present in two forms: HSV-1 and HSV-2. In spite of the ominous specter of STD increases for certain diseases such as Chlamydia, there are some encouraging signs in Newman. As the data indicate, new cases of HIV-AIDS remain low, particularly among women.

Our testing locations offer private, top-quality STD testing just like you would receive from your doctor's office without the added expense and inconvenience of an office visit just to have that doctor place the order for those tests.
Why is testing important?
Because STDs are more common than you may realize, with nearly 20 million new STD cases occurring every year, according to nationwide CDC estimates. Their affects can be quite serious. For instance, HIV infection can progress to AIDS, and gonorrhea, Chlamydia and syphilis can lead to infertility without treatment. These examples show just how important it is that these and other STDs do not go undetected for lack of a simple health test, easily done via STD testing centers near Newman, CA.
When should you seek STD testing?
Clearly, if you know or suspect that a partner is affected by a sexually transmitted disease, looking into STD testing centers near Newman, California is important to protecting your health, as is seeking immediate treatment should you receive positive results. However, STD testing is also essential for all sexually active individuals. That's because STDs don't always come with obvious symptoms. Some may produce no symptoms at all, while others may present mild ones that are easily mistaken for a cold or flu. For this reason, ensuring your sexual and overall health means getting regular screening tests for common STDs. Just how often you should schedule test days depends on your individual circumstances. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional for an appropriate testing routine for your needs.

South Park: The Stick of Truth Aims to Make Video Games Funny
It seems like anything Trey Parker and Matt Stone touch turns into gold. They probably would call it something much more foul than that, but you know what I mean. There's "South Park," their long running comedy series that continues to amuse and offend viewers in equal measure. Then there's "The Book of Mormon," the acclaimed musical. Somehow they've also found time to produce, direct, and star in a number of feature films.This week, the comedy duo stepped into another world entirely with South Park: The Stick of Truth—video games.
They've been down the video game road before, licensing South Park to game developers when the show was first starting out. But neither of them had much to do with games like the eponymous 1998 shooter or the racing game South Park Rally that came out in 2000. The work suffered as a result.
It was a bad experience before, so then we said: well, let's do it ourselves," Trey Parker told me over the phone.
"And then it was probably a worse experience," he added, chuckling.

Tonight I'm continuing my soccer player series by posting a caricatured manipulation of Franck Ribéry. Franck was born 7 April 1983 and is a French football player who currently plays for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich. Ribéry primarily plays as a winger, preferably on the left side, and is known for "pace, energy, skill and precise passing." I had a pretty good source pic for this one so I was able to post it at my normal full scale which is 1280 pixels wide. He was good practice and a lot of fun. If you want to learn more about Ribéry, his name is a link to his Wikipedia page. I'll have something a little different tomorrow.
Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Course Marking
A crew of experienced trail runners must have spent days marking the course. There were colored ribbons placed every 30-50 ft along the entire 50-mile course. At intersections huge foam core signs were stuck in the ground and pointed the way. It was clear that the volunteers were anticipating where runners would look and might get confused. I remember coming up over a ridge once and looking down into the valley for the trail heading. Someone had placed a ribbon way up high in a tree so that it was at eye level from where I stood on the ridge.
Course Description
Bear Mountain state park takes in a vast area – the closest nearby comparator in terms of overall dimensions and types of mountains is Mount Desert Island. Bear Mountain feels a lot more rugged with a higher density of mountain ranges and just a few roads passing through. There's virtually no development in the interior like you would find at MDI.
"Endurance challenge" is the operative term that best describes the 50-mile event; "endurance run" wouldn't fit well. There were many times during the day when I felt running would be a luxury. I would totally agree with the rating of the course as 5 out of 5 in terms of technical terrain and overall difficulty. A lot of time was spent walking up and down steep rocky slopes and climbing cliff faces that required both hands. During the first 15 miles I would estimate that 40% of the terrain was runnable. There were at least a dozen stream crossings that could be navigated by jumping from rock to rock; and a few more places with bridges. My first pair of shoes got very muddy and wet and this is when I tripped the most and rolled my ankles. Later when I put on my second pair of shoes and 2 fresh pairs of socks I tried to keep them as dry as possible. I think this strategy worked well because I remember a few times when I did roll my feet on the rocks that the shoe slid around my foot and I could feel one sock slipping against the other. Since the shoe and sock absorbed most of the shock and not my ankle, it built up my confidence and I was able to navigate the technical terrain much faster.
Even though I was out there for 12 hours my mind never wandered. One had to really concentrate the whole time on foot placement or else you could easily trip or roll your ankle. The one really bad spill that I had occurred when I was running on a nice flat stretch of double-track and then turning onto a semi-technical trail that sloped downward. One foot caught on something and I did and end-over-end coming to rest on my back.
It seemed like there were more stretches after the Mile 21 aid station that were not treacherous. Occasionally we would get on some decent single-track or nice wide jeep roads. There was one almost surreal section between the Mile 10 and 15 aid stations where we popped out of the woods and ran on the grassy apron along the Palisades Parkway. Even though there were cars whipping by really fast in the opposite direction this was the one section where it was possible to let your guard down. The dead deer next to the side of the road reminded us that danger wasn't far away. I also remember a couple of instances where we were actually running on old pavement. One section stemmed from a beautiful mountain lake and the other I figured was an old fire road. We ran across many bald mountain tops with scrubby brush and some places where talk grass grew.
I'm not the kind of person who cares to use a watch when I'm running. I only knew about the time was when other people were talking about it. I recall one instance that worried me though when my friend Chris Pulick from G.A.C. said we had been running for 2:45 and we hadn't reached the Mile 10 aid station yet. I thought at this rate there's no way we could reach the Mile 15 aid station within the 4 hour cutoff. I remember another guy saying around Mile 10 that our overall pace was 19min/mile.

Occasionally we would come across signs of civilization – old and new. The old being massive rock 3-sided shelters with huge wooden timbers holding up the roof and overlooking beautiful mountain vistas. The new being bright tent cities and civilians hiking around with trekking poles and talking with strange New York accents.
I think it's fair to say that none of the title sponsors, the national marketing firm that is organizing the NFEC series, or the adventure racing company that managed and directed the race truly understood the nature of their 50-mile course. Only 19 of the 86 starters (22%) completed the distance within the 13 hour time limit. The official results provide some insight into the level of difficultly, but they don't paint the full picture. Only 65 people made it to the Mile 26.5 aid station. I can't say for sure how many of the remaining 21 people dropped out or didn't make the cut-off time at the Mile 15.6 aid station. The 4-hour cutoff at mile 15.6 was supposedly expended to 4:45. One volunteer at the end of the race suggested that everyone was allowed through but that would mean all 21 dropped and I find that hard to believe. The use of timing chips and chip-mats at mile 26.5 seemed like over-kill, but it was consistent with many other aspects of the event that were over the top. It's also ironic how the split times are reported in fractions of a second given that it took most people over 6 hours to reach Mile 26.5. The other thing the results don't show is the guy who actually crossed the finish-line first but was disqualified because he failed to check-in at the Mile 10 aid station (a rule that was clearly explained just before the start).
My Effort
While I barely managed to make the extended cut-off time at Mile 15 in just over 4 hours, my effort was cut short after 12 hours when I reached Mile 40, 1.5 hours after the official cut-off. Although my quads were shot and energy levels were getting low, my spirits were high and there was no doubt that I had the strength to finish. Given the opportunity, and considering my rate of progress at the time, I probably could have finished in 14.5 - 15 hours. To give you a little perspective, I completed my first 50-miler 5 months ago at Stone Cat in 11:09. Despite my failure to finish this was the greatest adventure in my life to date. With the Vermont 100-miler only 3 months away, I can begin to imagine what it's going to take.
The forecast for race day and the day before guaranteed rain and thunderstorms with a high of 63. I prepared for the worst and readied 3 water-tight drop bags with fresh socks, underwear, shorts, gloves, and a longsleeve and short sleeve technical running shirt. In my Mile 26 bag I also stuffed in a small towel, hat, and a pair of shoes. At 4am on race day morning it was about 50 degrees and it had stopped raining. A thick layer of fog had settled in and I could see lightning flashes but didn't hear any thunder. All was well until about ½ hour after the 5am start when the skies opened up and it poured. It was a good thing that people were still bunched up at that point because our headlamps improved the visibility and people would alert others to the presence of hazards like streams or downed logs that could clothesline the unsuspecting person. My glasses fogged up so bad I could barely see what I was stepping on which was basically a stream bed with loose rocks, mud and leaves. The poor visibility was also a blessing in disguise because we couldn't see what was ahead. The first 2-miles are relatively easy but things go vertical very quickly and runners face the longest and most difficult climb in the whole race. The first ascent is about 1100 ft vertical and involves climbing cliff faces using both hands. People really got bunched up here while waiting for those up ahead to make their way up the rocks. From above it must have looked like a bunch of jack straws laid out up the side of the mountain.
Eventually the sun came out and visibility improved. The fog however persisted for many hours and reached above the highest elevations. The rain had made everything very slippery and treacherous. It's no wonder that people struggled to reach the Mile 15 aid station within the 4 hour time limit. The fog was also a blessing in disguise because it kept everything cool and protected us from the sun. However, that protective layer disappeared with the wind and sun by Mile 20 and things started to get hot and humid. Clouds rolled by throughout the day covering up the sun and attenuated the effects of solar radiation. The choice to consume 1 S-cap per hour (roughly) worked well for me and I felt well hydrated. There were actually a couple of times that I stopped to pee. Although I didn't think about it during the race I would estimate the temperature got into the mid-60s. However, to my surprise, when I was getting a ride back from the Mile 40 aid station, the car's thermometer said it was 74 degrees. I hadn't run in weather like that for 6 months.
I started eating for this event on Wednesday. In an attempt at "carbo-loading" I ate good healthy foods that were high in protein and no carbs on Wednesday and Thursday. One day at noon I defrosted a huge chunk of venison (hind quarter cut) that my father shot the previous fall in Canada. I marinated it in my favorite teriyaki sauce for about 4 hours and grilled it that night. I reasoned that if I ate a deer's leg that I would run like one during the race. I had invited Ian and Emma over for dinner but Emma had to work and Emma said Ian had to do their taxes before he could go play. I was glad because I got to eat the whole thing myself. On Friday I ate nothing but delicious bread and pasta.
On race day I carried 2 types of food with me. I decided to wear my North Face hydration pack instead of carrying bottles because I figured it would free up my hands and that was more important than carrying the extra weight. I had been training all winter with my pack and I knew I would be comfortable. In my bladder I mixed a pretty strong dose of Hammer's Perpetuem powder; and I had placed extra powder in each of my 3 drop bags. This choice turned out to be a mistake. I never trained with this stuff and didn't know how it would make me feel. During the race it didn't seem to satisfy what my body craved so I dumped the whole concoction at the Mile 15 aid station. At the early aid stations I tried the red and blue Accelerade and found that I really liked the taste of the blue. Starting at Mile 15 I had a volunteer fill my pack with a solution of half blue Accelerade and half water. This solution really satisfied me throughout the day and helped to keep me feeling well. During the race I was also popping 1 Succeed S-cap electrolyte pill every hour or so. When I made the mistake of not balancing my electrolytes during my Stone Cat 50-miler I paid dearly for it. Although I never trained with S-caps before they really worked well and I will always use them on long runs and on hot days. Other than the Accelerade and S-caps I got the bulk of my energy from food at the aid stations. I ate the foods that I knew worked for me: plenty of chicken noodle soup, potatoes and bananas rolled in salt, gummy bears, and the occasional apple and orange slice.
Turning Point
I went through a bad-to-good turning-point shortly after the 5th aid station at Mile 26.5. This is where I planted my largest drop bag – my 20-liter sea-kayaking dry bag. Even though I knew I had a razor thin margin of making the Mile-40 aid-station on time, I dwelled here the longest. I stripped down to my shorts, toweled-off, put on a dry shirt, 2 pairs of Smart Wool socks, and a new pair of Montrail Hardrock shoes ½ size larger than normal to accommodate the socks and swollen feet. I popped 4 ibuprofen pills and grabbed my stash of S-cap electrolyte pills. During this time one volunteer filled my hydration pack, another handed me 2 cups of Campbell's chicken noodle soup, 2 cups of water, 1 cup of blue Accelerade, a fist full of gummy bears, and a couple potatoes rolled in salt. Another volunteer reattached the bib to my shirt and the timing chip to my shoe. While I scrambled back up the steep trail that I had just descended I realized that a Phil Collins tune had invaded my mind. Thinking back I vaguely remembered hearing some music playing at the aid station and figured that's where the devil-seed was planted. Nevertheless, on the following stretch to the Mile 33 aid station my spirits were never higher, this time I skipped along the tops of rocks with confidence and passed 4 or 5 troubled souls. I attribute much of this surge to the smell of a freshly laundered shirt and the cushy shoes and socks that absorbed the shock when I rolled my ankles.
Not long after I departed from Portland on Friday morning I got pulled over for doing 79mph on I-95. When asked how fast I was going I said 80. The officer also asked if I was in a hurry for something. I guess there were other people on their way to pick up a bib number for a 50 mile race because I still got a ticket for $137.
Just as I was picking up my race packet the day before I ran into a bunch of people form Gil's Athletic Club (G.A.C). These are the nicest people to hangout and run with. Instead of being alone the night before I went to a BBQ restaurant with 15 friends. Who else would be eating pulled-pork sandwiches and drinking beers the night before a 50-miler? I played it safe and stuck to my plan by eating the one dish on the menu that contained pasta. I had a great time running with Chris and Susan Pulick before Mile 15.5. It seemed like I ran into Cheryl Mulvie and Paula a bunch of times. I caught up to Roger Martel around 28 but then we rejoined and ran together for a mile into the last aid station at 40.
The only wildlife that I saw on the course of was a small turtle shell, or maybe it was a tortoise. It was strange because I don't recall it being anywhere near water and it had beautiful red dots along the perimeter of the shell. I didn't see any bears during the race but I did almost stepped in a huge pile of bear shit.

Five generations of chemists in the Blockx family have been working since 1865 to perfect the Blockx Oil Colors. Today they are still ground on stone rollers and mixed with poppyseed or linseed oil, and no additives or fillers whatsoever.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.

SHAQRA, Yemen, June 15 (UPI) -- Yemeni troops have raided an al-Qaida stronghold in a southern province, killing 40 suspected militants, officials said Friday.
Two security officials said militant leaders had fled Shaqra town in Abyan province, CNN reported.
The Defense Ministry said most of the town was under government control and that militants have been surrounded by troops, who gave them a deadline to surrender.
The raid comes three days after Yemeni government troops seized control of the towns of Jaar and Zinjibar from militants.
In Azzan, an al-Qaida-controlled town in neighboring Shabwa province where militants were trying to regroup, 17 militants were killed Thursday in clashes with troops, local security officials said.
The Yemeni government increased its offensive against al-Qaida two months ago.
Yemeni President Abdurabu Hadi has called fighting the terror network the nation's top priority.

Cider Brined Turkey with Citrus Herb Salt
I've tried a number of recipes, brining, not brining, dry herb rub, conventional turkeys, organic turkeys, and heritage turkeys. Last year I used the recipe below on a Mary's Free Range Turkey, and I think it was the best turkey yet. A combination of brining and a dry salt herb rub with a slow roasting gives a very moist and flavorful bird. I must admit my best roast turkeys have been brined turkeys.
