Equally adept at fiction (a winner of the National Jewish Book Award) and philosophy (a recipient of the MacArthur Foundation "genius" prize), Rebecca Newberger Goldstein now gives us a novel that transforms the great debate between faith and reason into an exhilarating romance of both heart and mind.
At the center: Cass Seltzer, a professor of psychology whose book, The Varieties of Religious Illusion, has become a surprise best seller. He's been dubbed "the atheist with a soul," and his sudden celebrity has upended his life. He wins over the stunning Lucinda Mandelbaum–"the goddess of game theory"–and loses himself in a spiritually expansive infatuation. A former girlfriend appears: an anthropologist who invites him to join in her quest for immortality through biochemistry. But he is haunted by reminders of the two people who ignited his passion to understand religion: his teacher Jonas Elijah Klapper, a renowned literary scholar with a suspicious obsession with messianism, and an angelic six-year-old mathematical genius, heir to the leadership of an exotic Hasidic sect. The rush of events in a single dramatic week plays out Cass's conviction that the religious impulse spills out into life at large.
In 36 Arguments for the Existence of God, Rebecca Newberger Goldstein explores the rapture and torments of religious experience in all its variety. Hilarious, heartbreaking, and intellectually captivating, it is a luminous and intoxicating novel.

Best Novel of 2010, Christian Science Monitor
Five Favorite Books of 2010, National Public Radio
"Rebecca Goldstein is a rare find among contemporary novelists: she has intellectual muscle as well as a tender emotional reach."
—Ian McEwan
"A captivating, original, and at times riotously funny novel. ... Goldstein has fashioned a tale that does justice to the depth of the problem of reconciling a scientific worldview with the insistent yearning for transcendence, and has done so in a way that is philosophically sophisticated without being pedantic, and deeply moving without being weighed down by the burdensome dross of sentimentality."
—Peter Lopatin, Commentary, January 2010.
"A book of astonishing scope and beauty, one in which the brilliant Goldstein takes us on a journey that is as emotionally satisfying as it is intellectually expansive."
--David Eagleman, Barnes and Nobel Review, January 13, 2010.
"Rebecca Newberger Goldstein does it all. She has written a hilarious novel about people's existential agonies, a page-turner about the intellectual mysteries that obsess them. The characters in 36 Arguments For the Existence of God explore the great moral issues of our day in a novel that is deeply moving and a joy to read."
—Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated
"A remarkable novel—as entertaining as it is illuminating—savagely funny in its characterizations, brilliant in its contemplation of the self and the sublime. This is a timely and timeless book, and definitive proof of Rebecca Newberger Goldstein's protean intellect and engaging talent."
—Jess Walter, author of The Zero
"Goldstein.. ramps up her gifts for radiant humor and the transmutation of metaphysics, mathematics, and Jewish mysticism into narrative gold. ... Goldstein is entrancing and unfailingly affectionate toward her brilliant yet bumbling seekers in this elegant yet uproarious novel about the darkness of isolation and the light of learning, the beauty of numbers and the chaos of emotions, the 'longing for spiritual purity' and love in all its wildness."
--Donna Seamon, Booklist (starred review)
"A freewheeling satirical tale that is compelling, heady …, and laced with a deliciously dark wit. Goldstein is a brilliant exponent of her subject, and she has crafted a story that is caustically irreverent, yet provocative and informative without being completely didactic. And ... by the end, "36 Arguments'' is also deeply touching."
--Karen Campbell, Boston Globe
"Satire with a soul."
—Jennifer Howard, Chronicle of Higher Education, Jan. 24, 2010.
"[A] greatly entertaining novel."
—Ross Gilfillan, Daily Mail, Mar 5, 2010
"[Goldstein] has taken on some of the deepest philosophical questions of human existence and shaped them into a page-turner at once funny and heartbreaking and challenging…A terrifically engaging novel."
--Dani Shapiro, Moment, Jan/Feb 2010
"Comic and supremely witty, 36 Arguments for the Existence of God is both a satire of the academic world and a feast of philosophical and religious ideas."
—Alan Lightman, author of Einstein's Dreams
"You do not have to perpetrate an act of faith to confront the question of why there is something rather than nothing. It is faith itself that consists of nothing. Rebecca Goldstein, on the other hand, is quite something."
—Christopher Hitchens, author of God is Not Great
"Rollicking….Irreverent and witty, Goldstein seamlessly weaves philosophy into this lively and colorful chronicle of intellectual and emotional struggles."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review), 11/2/09
"A high-energy caper in which religion, relativism, passion, and primitivism meet in the brainy collisions and collusions of a best-selling scholar, ex-lovers, rabbis, cosmologists, and one tiny math prodigy."
—Elle, "Trust Us: This Month's Quick Picks," January 2010
"A hilarious novel that will add fuel to the debate that Richard Dawkins has made a million-pound industry. Rebecca Goldstein has penned a great story that will steal some of Dawkins' action…An intellectual delight…"
—The Bookseller (UK), picks for March 2010
"An ambitious novel about big ideas — love, sex, religion — that nevertheless faces these issues with irony and humor….A big-hearted novel, filled with energy and an encouraging zest for life."
--Gordon Haber, Forward, Jan. 8, 2010
"An immensely rewarding read."
--Jewish Book World, Spring 5770/2010
"This novel brims with ideas about the nature of religion and how humans interact with it...It's refreshing to read a novel so bursting with intellectual rigor."
—The Big Issue, March 23, 2010

Sun Yun-liang , (born 1904, Sichuan province, China—died May 25, 2007, Taipei, Taiwan), Chinese general who was celebrated for leading the successful battle in 1932 to defend Shanghai against invading Japanese forces. In 1937 his troops, despite suffering heavy casualties, again prevented the Japanese from capturing Shanghai. Following the defeat of Japan in 1945, Sun led Nationalist troops in the civil war against the Communist People's Liberation Army (PLA). This time, however, he was far less successful; in 1948 his forces were decisively beaten by the PLA in a major battle that heralded the end of the Nationalist presence in mainland China. ...

September 15, 2011 |
The House and Senate Appropriations Committees have not allocated enough funding for federal juvenile justice programs in 2012. Unless funding is restored, the federal government will support fewer youth development programs and day and evening reporting centers that prevent delinquency and help keep more youth out of the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems. States will receive less assistance to ensure youth who are incarcerated get rehabilitative, humane, and fair treatment. Criminologists estimate that steering just one high-risk delinquent youth away from a life of crime saves society $3 million to $6 million in reduced victim costs and criminal justice expenses, plus increased wages and tax payments over the course of a young person's life. By cutting delinquency prevention programs and relying more on incarceration, we are choosing the most costly option of all.

Hi! I thought I'd pick the edhat collective brain to find information and solutions to my orchid. My dear husband bought his plant killing wife a lovely orchid from TJ's two years ago. It was lovely. Plant killing wife forgot to water (soak it) for a few months, but it came back.... with tentacles. It seems to be making another one at the top, but it's growing upside down. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

I'm really excited about today's small business announcement. Not just because of the initial praise that we've received but because our new offerings will make it even easier for our customers and partners to benefit from Cisco technologies and services.
We've expanded our services coverage across our entire small business portfolio to enable partners to provide customers with our 3-year peace-of-mind service.

Two new software applications have also been added to the mix. An advanced video monitoring application that helps customers protect their businesses through an easy-to-use video surveillance system. And, the Office Manager application to help simplify the configuration of our Smart Business Communication System.
To sum it all up, Cisco is simply continuing to strengthen its commitment to the small business market, continuing to help partners reach small business customers, and enhancing the whole package by offering innovative services and support programs.

I have had a few problems with my new juke and I have been in contact with Nissan Canada and my dealership many times. I have written a 3 page letter the CEO of Nissan about them. So far nothing has been resolved. Apparently they are aware of the poor gas mileage and consumption they are getting, and if this is a problem for you, YOU NEED TO REPORT IT! If anything is going to be done about these things it has to be reported, including you guys in the States!!
The weather has warmed up a bit and my windshield problem has not happened again, but it will!! The dealership took my car on the warmest days of the winter to check it out. Yes imagine it was working! And to test the mileage they drove it 175 kilometers to the tech guys house and left me on a empty tank!!! My gas was in it! Can you imagine? Who does that? They had no permission to take it off the lot! I have been asked to keep track of how many litres, how much and how often i fill up and how many k/tank i am getting. I will keep everyone posted.
My paint is chipping off, every time i wash it i have more paint missing. as for mileage ive noticed i get alot more mileage when i put it on eco

The Oakland Athletics recalled Ps Tommy Milone, Evan Scribner and Pat Neshek from the minors Tuesday, Sept. 3, and designated RP Hideki Okajima for assignment in a corresponding move. C Luke Montz has also been released.

Athletics | Luke Montz still recovering |
Sun, 25 Aug 2013 20:23:24 -0700
Oakland Athletics C Luke Montz (shoulder) remains on the disabled list at Triple-A Sacramento. He has been sidelined for more than a month due to a shoulder injury, and he might be removed from the 40-man roster if the team needs a roster spot for either 1B Daric Barton or SP Brett Anderson (foot).

Athletics | Josh Reddick activated |
Fri, 31 May 2013 14:50:15 -0700
The Oakland Athletics activated OF Josh Reddick (wrist) from the 15-day disabled list Friday, May 31, and optioned C Luke Montz to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.
Fantasy Tip: Reddick is available in a good chunk of mixed leagues thanks to his under .200 batting average. His poor start was likely the result of his wrist injury that lingered since April. If he's fully healthy now, he could turn things around quickly.

Athletics | Chris Young likely to return Friday |
Wed, 15 May 2013 12:02:41 -0700
Oakland Athletics OF Chris B. Young (quadriceps) will play for Triple-A Sacramento Thursday, May 16, and is likely to come off the disabled list Friday, May 17. The team will decide to send C Luke Montz down or designate 1B Daric Barton for assignment to make room for Young on the roster.
Fantasy Tip: Michael Taylor was sent down to the minors today, so Young figures to platoon in the outfield with Seth Smith, as he was doing before. Young has power, but he won't do you any favors in the batting average category. This makes him an asset in cavernous mixed formats with deep outfield setups.

Athletics | Coco Crisp to DL |
Wed, 01 May 2013 10:17:22 -0700
Oakland Athletics OF Coco Crisp (hamstring) has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained left hamstring. He left the club's Monday, April 29, contest in the 13th inning because of the injury and sat out on Tuesday, April 30, the date to which his DL stint is backdated. The A's have called up C Luke Montz from Triple-A Sacramento to take Crisp's place on the 25-man roster.
Fantasy Tip: This is par for the course for Crisp. The injury doesn't seem to be serious, but the Athletics have played shorthanded here and there for the past couple of weeks. Chris Young's and Seth Smith's PT become a little more secure in the short term, so each may carry value in deep mixed leagues. Crisp will hopefully not need much more than the minimum on the DL.

I'm looking at my website stats this morning and I see something interesting:
There are no less than a half dozen episodes of the Various and Sundry DVD Podcast that are being downloaded about 200 times apiece this month. To me, the podcast was always disposable — it's meant to be listened to the week it comes out. That's about it. After that, there's very little use for it. It's not even worth archiving for historical purposes. I don't get it.
But someone is listening. About 200 – to a podcast that died a couple of months ago.
Should I bring it back? Maybe it's worth doing a trial run of four weeks or so. Since DVD listings are available far in advance, I could even record them all in one shot and release them weekly from there.
No promises, but let me know what you think.
In other podcasting news, I'm doing another interview with a pro this evening for next week's Pipeline Podcast. And no, I'm not naming names yet, but I'll try to put out an excerpt over the weekend on that feed.

This is not mine in the video but it's the same plane/engine.
Another plane for sale:
FMS/Airfield P-47 foamie with electric retracts. I pulled the retracts and raked them foward for better stability on our gras runway.
Last flown 2 weeks ago.
Flies with a 4S 3300mAh pack. I can sell a pack with it if you don't have one.
$75 w/o Reciever, but if you fly spektrum, I can make a deal
Anybody have a trainer to sell?
I have one of these:ORIGINAL: purcilas
Anybody have a trainer to sell?
$75 all ready to go. Just add your own Rx.
I pulled some of the stickers off and put a slightly larger nose wheel and took the wheel pants off so it will work on the grass better.
Uses a 3S 2200mAh LiPo. I'll throw in a battery and a cheap charger with it.
It has flaps on it but that is not really even needed for it. If you want it more stable in the wind, I can set up and throw in a piezo gyro for the ailerons as well.
This is the only video I have of my plane flying. It was a keychain cam I had holding it in my teeth, so most the flight was edited out
It has been suggested that we post a link to the FSA website for the monthly newsletters. Therefore, make it so.
Dave has also finished the web page on servo linkages with the spreadsheet.
Hi guys,
I have the 700e kits just about ready and I thought I would share a couple of pictures.
First is the kit contents. The other two are instruction drawing that will be included in the kit.
The links are of the ball pin being lathe cut on a milling machine out of stainless steel... The parts
need to be hand finished and threaded but cutting the ball pin is cool to watch. Kind of hard to
wrap your head around programming a lathe cut on the mill. You have to turn your head sideways
a lot! LOL
This link is the build and testing of version 1 and now 2. Skip to post 65 for the newest version.
I have a lot more drawing and details on my facebook page if you are interested.

GREAT WEATHER this morning. Had the Nieuport 17 out flying, but my head was just not in the game!
With a stroll in the field, I was able to collect my thoughts!
In case anybody gets a plane stuck on the trees, call these guys.
I saw that on True TV yesterday, that was COOL!
Note that the guy's house and land, he had some $$$$
Armistice Day / Veteran's Day event today was great! Really enjoyable and well done. Hope someone has some pictures to post. Nice job Gary and everyone else who made it happen.

I hate to give up my source... Andrew Wachholz is taking some wonderful pictures...
Hang on to that link... he will continue to post field pictures there... and if anyone else has good photos from yesterday to share... please let me know.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/181027822314?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p39 84.m1555.l2649
$1800 with two RXs and the case.
Considering it's a $3000+ radio (let's call it "ridiculously expensive") then $1900 (current bid) would only be considered "incredibly expensive". You'd have to work your way down to just "expensive" for me to get in the game!
PS - anyone going out to the field on Thursday or Friday?
Team JR
If I go out to the field on Thursday my wife would probably cut them off... you know what I mean.
However Friday I might. Let me know if you plan on going and I will take the beast out
Btw, this is pretty cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=J8OtEoBXuxU#!
Might try to get out around 10. We have lunch plans with friendsat 130 so it would only be for 2 or 3 hours.
Team JR
Im not going to be able to take the beast Im trading a plane that I have to take to the field so I will be taking my 50cc reactor and my heli.
Watching "Billy the Kid Unmasked" on the Military channel, there pops up our club member Jerry Richards doing some testimony on photo evidence.
Are we planning an END-OF-THE-WORLD FLY-IN? It does strangely seem appropriate. With the end of the world fast approaching, maybe we should expire some planes on the 21st. Is there an exact time for the end, or is that to be determined?
What plane are you planning to bring for your last flight?
Uh Oh. [] You know too much now. That's some secret stuff he works with.

Ridiculous. Incredible. These are words that leap to the mind as it's searching for footing in the midst of the flowing stream of hyper-syncopated Cuban funk effortlessly played by Pupy y los Que Son, Son on their 2005 release Pupy el Buenagente. Sometimes age and experience affect a musician by cooling their blood and paring down their choices to the leave only the simplest, most essential elements. In other cases, it gives them the cool demeanor to do whatever the heck they want with flawless, unshakable confidence. The latter is the case with pianist Cesar Pedroso and his band of innovators. With the ability to both lay down swinging, tuneful grooves, and also create brain-bending, time-shifting vamps that are equal parts folklore and wave-of-the-future, los Que Son, Son truly sound like no other group performing today. Without the roguish, youthful quality of contemporaries like Klimax and Charanga Habanera, Pupy's outfit has a dark, mature sound that is furious and serious. Pupy el Buenagente may not only be their finest effort thus far, it may also be the album that heralds a new era for timba, it's coming of age. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez

Speaker Boehner visits United Performance Metals
U. S. House Speaker John Boehner spent time on May 11 with staff of United Performance Metals, Hamilton, Ohio, as well as 30 other local business leaders, to discuss current issues and obstacles they are facing in the area of job creation.
Boehner opened up the floor to questions from small-business owners, covering such topics as pension reform, EPA overreach, health care reform, export strategies, tax codes, and education.
"Employers take the risk to invest in a business, take a risk to hire people, and it all makes an impact in your community," said Boehner.
United Performance Metals is a supplier of specialty stainless steel and high-temperature alloys.

Devil in My Angel
Well let me tell you.
With poor Patches, my cat that passed away in November, literally, in a conversational tone of voice, you could say, "No Patches" and she would stop whatever she was doing or about to do!!! NooNoo of course is too slick to get caught doing anything. She's like a ghost or ninja. You have a feeling she was just there but there's nothing but a puff of smoke and a faint meow fading into the breeze.
With Angel though....it sounds more like this:
No Angel, I said NO, I SAID NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not that I like running around my house with squirt bottles screaming like a banshee out of old Irish legends, it's just that that seems to be what he understands. I'm thinking I should get one of the 911 alert things and wear it around my neck because one of these days I'm either going over the balcony or down the stairs. I have a habit of going down the stairs, and that's not in the normal upright human way... I've actually had to throw out pairs of socks because it seemed that they caused the bottom of my feet to equal the slipperness of freshly waxed hotel lobby floors when walked on with high heels...
So tell me the truth.....is it because he's a boy cat? I'm thinking that's pretty much the reason. So this proves it is in fact genetic, all that behavior, the not listening, the defiant bad behavior, the abject apologies and purring afterwards that just lead to more not listening as if nothing ever happened because nothing is ever actually remembered.
Tell me again why I didn't pick out an older cat????
Oh yeah, cause look at him, isn't he so sweet? :-)
5 comments:
It IS probably, most likely, nah definately because he's all male. Has he been neutered? That might calm him down a little bit. I remember when my Punkin used to do that sort of thing, a looooong time ago ... hours really. He's almost 13 now. The flip side to that coin is that the boys tend to be the biggest love-bugs. Mine is such a snuggle bunny ... but only when HE wants to. I only exist when he needs food, snuggles, or someone to play with.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the right idea, another cat. Then you'll have a full time job of chasing after them both yelling NOOOOOO!!!!! or cleaning up after them when they're done knocking everything off the tables, shelves and the top of the fridge. Sure, grand idea! *snicker* Maybe instead, buy him a scratching post or one of those cat "cities" so he can hide and jump out at you when you're not paying enough attention to him. Or a remote controlled mouse. A laser pen might also do the trick. You'll have to let us know what works! Good luck! ;-)

Indonesia's Wahid Gets Off To A Flying Start
Indonesia's new President, Islamic cleric Abdurrahman Wahid, may have such poor eyesight that his daughter has to lead him through the corridors of the presidential palace. But being virtually blind with a history of strokes has not kept Wahid from having a vision for his government based on compromise and a swift move away from corruption.
In his first days in office Wahid, 59, made a clean break from Indonesia's oppressive past. Allaying fears about his ill health, he delegated considerable power over day-to-day governing to Vice-President Megawati Sukarnoputri, and put the economy in the hands of her closest advisers. The move defused tension among millions of Megawati supporters incensed by her failure to win the presidency in the Oct. 20 vote by the national assembly. Because a third stroke could incapacitate Wahid, he wants her at his right hand in order to pass on his consensus-building skills, says assembly Chairman Amien Rais. "Megawati is a fast learner," says Rais.
Wahid showed his knack for compromise by including some of Indonesia's old guard in his new government, and by curtailing the army's influence. His speeches focus on economic growth and bureaucratic reform. "We have to make economic recovery our first goal, our primary goal," Wahid announced. Western economists were impressed by the lack of nationalist rhetoric. "This really is a new beginning," says Charles Wheeler, analyst at MMS International in Singapore.
Everyone, including Wahid, recognizes that Indonesia faces an uphill struggle. A daunting list of priorities generated by the government cites restructuring dozens of bankrupt banks, reforming the civil code so that contracts are respected, and renegotiating the price structure of multibillion-dollar power plants with foreign investors. That's not to mention cleaning up after a series of financial scandals and the debacle in East Timor.
Wahid's cabinet choices send the right signals to a nation looking for unity. The team includes two reputable ministers from the Suharto era. But it's also heavy with members of Suharto's opposition. "Wahid has to be careful to see that all factions are represented," says Arief Budiman, professor of Indonesian studies at Melbourne University in Australia.
The men who will take primary control of the economy are Kwik Kian Gie and Laksamana Sukardi, who come from the Megawati camp. Kwik, an ethnic Chinese, will be supreme economic policy czar, holding the title of Finance & Economy Coordinating Minister. He has indicated support for the painful restructurings demanded by the International Monetary Fund as part of its bailout of Indonesia. Sukardi is Capital Investment & State Enterprises Minister, which will put him in charge of recruiting foreign investors for a multi-billion-dollar privatization program of Indonesian industries that faltered under Suharto.
The complex deal that Wahid cut with the military could go a long way toward building political stability. For the first time in Indonesian history the post of defense minister went to a civilian: former Education Minister Juwono Sudarsono. Indonesia's chief military officer General Wiranto, discredited by his troops' rampage in East Timor in September, will take a cabinet position as Defense & Security Affairs Coordinating Minister. Diplomats say Wahid intends to modify that once ceremonial post into a job similar to the U.S. National Security Adviser. Wiranto will no longer command troops but will play a key role in Indonesia's defense strategy.
To make sure Wiranto would go along with the deal, Wahid asked him to choose both the defense minister and the armed forces commander. He picked Sudarsono, who was once deputy governor of Indonesia's army staff college. And he chose the navy's Admiral Widodo to command the armed forces--the first time a non-army man has held the post. Widodo is seen as a moderate.
NO FUNNY BUSINESS. Now that Suharto's opposition is firmly in power, the investigation into the origins of the Suharto clan's wealth, alleged to come from billions of dollars in kickbacks and other illegal deals, is again under way. The new Attorney General is Marzuki Darusman, a human rights lawyer who was key in denying a second term to Suharto's successor, former President B.J. Habibie. "We will not tolerate any monkey business anymore," he told reporters. Wahid already ordered the arrest of Habibie fundraiser Setya Novanto in connection with the disappearance of $80 million in the Bank Bali scandal.
Wahid's pick for Foreign Minister also represents a break from the past. Former Foreign Minister Ali Alatas had spent 11 years serving Suharto and Habibie, and was closely associated with repression in East Timor. New appointee Alwi Shihab, an Islamic studies scholar close to Wahid, immediately announced the resumption of diplomatic and trade ties with Israel.
Other appointments appeared to appeal to various constituencies. Wahid, head of the 34 million-member Islamic organization Nahdlatul Ulama, picked Yusril Mahendra, a hard-line Islamic party leader, as Justice Minister. But analysts expect any hardline views to hold little sway, especially since Wahid has steadfastly opposed the imposition of Islamic law and Islamic banking practices.
Wahid is also tackling the inefficient bureaucracy. He immediately abolished the State Secretariat, which effectively ran government ministries under Suharto, as well as the Information Ministry, which monitored and censored the media. The future of the National Planning Agency, whose role should shrink as the provinces get more autonomy, is also in doubt.
Wahid's decisiveness could have repercussions. Allies of Habibie, who is implicated in a report on high-level corruption, could stir up trouble. Provinces such as Aceh, site of enormous Mobil Corp. gas fields, may refuse to drop their bids to secede. But at least Wahid has started what looks like a normal, working government--something Indonesia sorely needs.

I surprised my dad with her for his Birthday. I was fortunate enough to have a close friend that allowed us to get the pick of the litter on what we hope is a great breeding. We were especially fortunate considering she was the one and only in the litter. She was suppose to be chocolate, but she got burnt in the oven!
This will be my dads first dog in nearly ten years and his first competitive dog. He can't wait to get her home.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Dem Sen. Bingaman Announces Retirement: 'This Seems Like The Right Time'
Bingaman's Senate seat will, of course, be opening up during a presidential election year, and as such the election result could potentially be tied to the top race. New Mexico narrowly voted for Al Gore in 2000, then narrowly for George W. Bush in 2004. The state swung to Barack Obama by a landslide margin of 57%-42% -- and Democrat Tom Udall picked up an open Senate seat that had been held by Republican Pete Domenici for 36 years. But in the 2010 midterm election, Republican Susana Martinez picked up the open governorship by a margin of 54%-46%.
During the question and answer period, Bingaman was asked what factors went into his decision.
"Well after 30 years, I think I've given this my best effort, and I think this is a good time for me to make the decision," said Bingaman. "So a lot of factors go into a decision like that, but this seems like the right time, and that's why I'm doing it right now."
Similar sentiments were voiced last week by Republican Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, when he announced his retirement.
(Special thanks to the ABC affiliate in Albuquerque, which streamed a video of the press conference.)

FOSTORIA Two people were injured in a fire Sunday that heavily damaged a house on East Fremont Street, according to the city fire department.
Capt. Jim Walters said crews were called to the residence at 319 East Fremont at 9:11 a.m. and found flames in the kitchen. The blaze, which investigators have ruled accidental, was caused by food left cooking unattended, Captain Walters said. Damage was estimated at $50,000.
The home, owned by HJC Leasing, was occupied by Janet Caskey, Debra Ridenhour, and Herman Clouse, Captain Walters said. One of the occupants suffered burns on both arms and was treated in Fostoria Community Hospital, and another occupant suffered a foot burn and refused treatment, he said. The captain declined to identify which of the two residents were hurt.

We have often visited over quite a few years. I can say,that fir the past 3.5 years,there has been zero disappointment . All ordered items were just exquisite . Matters not if fried,broiled,etc.,they know what they are doing. The salads are first class too,of course. I particularly love the crab cakes. Reservations are smart on weekends.
Professional, quick response time, and excellent quality work.
Avoid this guy. He takes your money and never does the work. Please be sure to google/research his "business." There has been many complaints, court cases, etc. Don't let this man take advantage of your money. He has a reputation for never showing up to complete the work after he has been paid. Please AVOID this guy, there are plenty more reputable companies out there.
After quoting us almost $1000 in new duct work, we had a second opinion. Work was not needed and we canceled service. They agreed to refund the deposit. However, never did, refuse to take our calls. Horrible way to treat long term customers. Now that we have checked Better Business Bureau and County Court. We see a LONG line of complaints and small claims cases against Bob Whittemore and his company in the past few years. Stay away.
A bunch of friends and I ate there last night. It was a really bad dining experience. We entered at 845p. We left at 1215a. Dinner took 2:10 to come out. The waitress never once came over and asked us how we were doing, or offered us drinks. So overpriced. The bathrooms were filthy, ugh.
Same good 4 reviews everywhere. Sure. I understand that one can't make everybody happy but I couldn't understand why 1st Choice, which is now not even an option for me, didn't answer the 100 calls we had to make to even find out why they wouldn't show up for work. Finally, after 2 weeks after the service start date quoted on the invoice, some people just came and ripped off all ducts, piled them in the back yard and disappeared in an hour and a half with half of the money for a complete airduct replacement. After 3 days without a working AC and no update as to what in the world they had been doing, I finally get somebody on the phone who started talking about how we should all blame it on the weather. All I want at this point is my money back. An HVAC specialist has already been contacted. And yes, it's "an", not "another" HVAC specialist.
But check this out:
This was the worst experience ever! This company is a joke! Don't waste your money!
This company provided me with a brand new heating and air system for thousands less than different corporations quoted. i'm terribly pleased with the service and expertness. i was therefore happy, I hooked them up with employment for my neighbor. you'll be able to contact http://simmcohvac.com/ for services.
RightOnQue food vendor uses Joseph Fields Farms vegetables and fruits in our weekly Saturday offerings at the Charleston Farmers Market (Marion Square). We buy his produce for personal use as well, the fresh organic farming really is evident in the flavor! We appreciate their business!!
I am in complete agreement with chaschef. This company provided me with a new heating and air system for thousands less than other companies quoted. I am very happy with the service and professionalism. I was so happy, I hooked them up with a job for my neighbor. Thanks again 1st Choice.
Great service. My air flow has never been better. Reasonable for this type of work. I saw this bad review and I know from being in the service industry that you can't make everyone happy. I am glad I gave them a shot! They fixed a duct problem that no one else could. Thanks!
After reading the great reviews for Alluette's, we were looking forward to a wonderful meal when we stopped in for dinner on a Saturday afternoon. Only only one other table was occupied, but the service was slow. The food was was a disappointment --- small, uninspired servings at a fairly steep price. The items displayed in the glass-fronted refrigerator sure didn't look organic. We left hungry, and later we ended up at Bon Banh Mi, where we had a terrific sandwich.
I don't think we'll be back. I can't believe this is the place about which we heard such good things.
I had the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant, and I eat out quite a bit. I've lived in Charleston for almost 7 years and have gone to just about every restaurant in the city. We went to Alluette's tonight with a Groupon that was expiring tomorrow, so we expected the place to be crowded, even though it was a Tuesday night. We had also read about the restaurant and knew the food was prepared from scratch, so we expected to wait for a bit. We were seated right away when we arrived. It took about 15 minutes for us to get our drinks and place our orders. We were ok with this, since the place was busy, and the owner/waitress was nice about it. Things proceed to go very much downhill from there. We both ordered entrees, and I ordered soup, since I was hungry and figured that would be served quickly. I was very wrong. After waiting about an hour and 45 minutes and seeing 4 other tables who arrived after us receive their salads, I finally got the salad that came with the meal, only because my husband mentioned it to the owner, who only made excuses for the bad service stating that they mostly took reservations on Mon, Tues, and Wed and had a lot of walk-ins tonight. At that point, we had had empty iced tea glasses for about 30 minutes, and it took another 15 minutes plus asking multiple times/people to get a refill. We also mentioned the service to our waitress who also had multiple excuses, and asked us if we had researched the place, stating that if we had, we would have known that everything was made fresh, which means it would not be served quickly. I actually had researched the place and expected the service to be slower, but not receiving a salad for one hour and 45 minutes and not receiving our entrees for 2 hours and 30 minutes still seemed excessive to me. When my husband asked the waitress if they had researched how Groupon works , in that most people use it at the last minute, she replied that that was "retarded," since they gave six months to use the Groupon. It wasn't until well after we expressed our dissatisfaction to both the owner and waitress and had our entrees that the waitress asked if we would like a piece of cake or a cookie on the house. We declined, and when we paid our bill, we were charged the full amount of our meal. We had hoped that they would do something to make up for our awful experience, but no luck there. While we were there for 2 hours and 45 minutes, we saw multiple groups leave before receiving their dinners, and we talked to multiple tables who were also having the same bad experience we were. I almost can forgive most of what happened, since they seemed to be short staffed and not prepared for having Groupon customers, but the way we were treated by the owner and waitress was not acceptable. We were only given a half-hearted apology after speaking with them multiple times, and nothing was done to make up for the wait and bad service. Not to mention the food was not very impressive. The fried chicken was good but nothing exceptional. The lima bean soup was probably the best thing we had. The fried shrimp had no flavor at all. There are so many wonderful restaurants in Charleston. Don't waste your time here.
order your own AC unit heat pump type for around here with at least a 14.0 SEER rating from the Internet, many good deals and they will ship it free most of the time right to your door . Had it installed in one day with all the extra required outside Disconnects for safety codes. Been operating for a year now and is doing fine , and my Electric bills are less than last year. Find a good AC man that knows his business. Plenty of them around.Try Angies List.
This was the worst HVAC service I have ever recieved. I had an air conditioning unit installed by First Choice and it did not work for even 6 months before I started having issues with it. Now i have been waiting for 6 months to have my air conditioning unit fixed. It took them nearly 4 months before they attempted to fix it ( not only do i not have ac but i didnt have heat in the winter time) Finally it was deemed unfixable and needed to be replaced 2 months ago. I have since been waiting for a new unit and have received excuses after excuses as to why First Chioce could not get to me. Honestly if i could have given this company no stars I would have. It is a joke that they call themselves First Choice... try again... Last Choice.
Great time we had at social wednesday. Friendly hostess, accommodating wait staff, and great food & drinks!
We made a reservation for thanksgiving(party of 4). Wanted to seat us with two elderly people outside without heaters. When we asked for seating inside we got skipped by multiple parties of 2&4. No thought or flexibility. Then we get seated at two 4-tops crammed together with someone needing to sit on the crack. Overall food was what we expected, traditional holiday items were good. Oysters were old and dried out. Cheese and salad station was bargain average. Our waiter was attentive and did a good job. The hostess and her three minions gave us the eye the whole time. If we thought that we could have gone somewhere else to get turkey we would have.
I went to Social regularly when they opened a few years ago & always loved it...fast forward to my most recent visits, where the food was still very good but the service was so horrible that I will not be going back. The bartenders were all too involved with chatting each other up and doing shots behind the bar to take our order. When I inquired about different wines, the server attempted to upsell me to the most expensive glasses available. She did the same thing with the food, which was good, though scant, with respect to the prices. Too bad this has become yet another "see & be seen" bar, instead of the classy place it started out as.
I wanted to like this place, I really did, but I've been there three times now and have been unimpressed on each occasion. The happy hour food quality and prices are pretty good, as is the drink selection, but the service was terrible. And I'm not too picky in that department... On every occasion that I have been there, the waitress took an incredibly long time to take our orders, and then needed to be prompted several times to return with drinks, or to come back around. The third time I was there will definitely be my last. One friend received the wrong order and then was criticized by the waitress, another friend ordered drinks that never arrived, despite many polite inquiries. We left and they'll never be seeing our wallets again.

salmon checklist.jpg - Section 3: Dissection
Salmon Body Structures - A Fish Dissection
Lesson 4 of 9
Objective: SWBAT identify the external and internal anatomical structures of Pacific Salmon. SWBAT safely engage in an animal dissection.
Expectations Review
Prior to the fish dissection, it is important to review some background information on the internal and external body structures of anadromous fish. In this lesson, although we are studying salmon, my students dissect a trout. The internal and external body structures of the salmon are very similar to that of the trout.The trout is not an endangered species, so using trout for dissection purposes does not negatively impact our local stream environment. I get the fish for this dissection from our local fish hatchery.
I start the day's lesson by reviewing the expectations outlined in the science safety contract that each of my students signs at the beginning of the year. Since the students will be using sharp dissecting tools in the lab, it is very important that each student knows the safety and behavior rules of the lab.
After reviewing expectations, I display all of the dissection tools that students will use in the lab on the document camera. I name each tool and describe how it can be safely used. Each student group has a pair of scissors, spoons, hand lenses, gloves, and forceps.

Resources (1)
Before I have students begin the dissection, I ask my students to review the external anatomy of the fish. To do so, I instruct students to put on their gloves and I deliver a fish to each student group. I remind students that the fish may be slippery, so they need to use care when handling their fish and keep their fish on their covered work space. I ask students to work with their science team to make observations about the external anatomy of the fish and to count the number of fins on the fish.
While students are working with their science teams, I visit each group of students and ask them questions to guide their observations. I use higher-level thinking questions to help students make inferences about the ways that the fish's external structures might impact their behavior or life in their naturl environment. Students frequently note that the fish's sharp teeth might mean that they have a varied diet or that the strong back fin might mean that the fish is a powerful swimmer.
After visiting each student group, I ask the student groups to share their observations with the whole class. I also ask each group to share the number of fins that their group counted on the salmon. Using the whiteboard, I draw a fish and label each fin. I take a few moments to review the signifigance of the adipose fin (fish with an adipose fin are wild as hatcheries remove the adipose fin for all released fish).
Resources (2)
Before allowing students to begin their dissection work, I list the expectations for the dissection on the whiteboard. First, I want my students to use the salmon placemat to help them identify the internal organs of the fish. Second, I ask my students to remove each organ using their spoons and scissors and to record their work on the salmon checklist. Third, I ask the students to be prepared to share evidence with the class for their determination of each internal organ. I also tell my students that it is a special challenge to see if their group can remove the swim bladder without rupturing it.
I provide about 20 minutes of work time for students to collaborate with their science groups to meet the objectives listed on the board. During this time, I meet with each group and ask them to share their progress with me. When I see that students are on the wrong track with idenitfying internal organs, I remind them of the pictures on their placemats and the descriptions on their checklists. I encourage students to use these resources, along with their observation skills to make their determinations.
Resources (4)
To conclude the day's lesson, I conduct a whole-group review. To do this, I display the students' work on the overhead projector. As I display the students' work, I ask students to work together to identify each organ that was removed from the fish and discuss with the students what each organ does in the fish's body. This review allows me to ensure that every student is successful at idenitfying internal anatomical structures and enables me to highlight the connection between the structure and function of internal organs. Using the document camera to diplay student work further aids the review process by giving me the chance to highlight successful student disssection work.

Hey everyone,
Just new to the site, planning a Hellboy costume as it should be relatively easy while still being a good challenge to a first-time cosplayer.
I need suggestions on a good, sturdy body paint that won't sweat off. Money isn't an object, within sensible limits, as I'm pretty much spending nothing on the other parts of the costume.
Thanks for your time!

Tak Joined: 21 Jun 2007 Posts: 110 | If you find that Snazaroo doesn't cope with your sweat (because it's a water based facepaint - it's damn good stuff for an amazing price and unless you're sweating buckets you shouldn't need anything else) then have a look on eBay (or if you're in London, a shop called Charles Fox in Covent Garden) for something called 'greasepaint' or 'cream make up'
It's oil based so doesn't come off very easily. Just make sure you get some really good cleanser to remove it, and whatever you do SEAL IT with a powder or a special spray sealant, or else it'll rub off against everything. Another option is Kryolan's 'Aquacolour Liquid' which is a bit more resistant than most water based makeup. Those living statues that you see on the streets often use this stuff. http://www.kryolan.com/ |
